First, Hand cannons are not nerfed, the range of the weapon was adjusted to what was intended. I have used hand cannons since release, and the impact at long ranges is ridiculous.
I have never had a single problem with black hammer, works perfectly every time. Its a bit OP in PVE though.
The glitches i agree with, they really need to change the way they build raids.. spawns and environment make most of the glitches possible.
Auto rifles will still have the highest DPS in the game, if you stay close enough.. as intended. They are not scout or pulse rifles.. maybe now you can stand at the distance you like, and use a pulse rifle.. Not a auto rifle that was intended to be close to mid range.
Everything about this upcoming patch will be brilliant, if it plays out the way we all think it will.
