If anything I'd like to see Bungie scale back their previous buff
maybe reduce the mag size a bit
Or perhaps increase kick (I think that would be best for a pvp nerf honestly)
Maybe increase reload time...
Damage per shot wasn't the problem before, so it shouldn't be now.
The problem before was that the weapon in PvE was pretty useless. You'd get a couple kills with the small mag, then spend what felt like days reloading.
Those two items from the buff were the two biggest game changers for PvE because the shots per min drastically increased.
Increasing kick would be a small nerf for PvE but pretty substantial for pvp because it would be more difficult to land consecutive shots quickly. With this in mind people will need to take more time between shots therefore increasing the ttk.
I loved the weapon in pvp before the nerf, but now it's a bit crazy.
Biggest fear is Bungie seeing these "nerf this" posts and they just take the almighty nerf cannon a little too far, making my old favorite unviable (just look at all auto rifles, suros in particular)

Personally I think the best course of action would either be a slight decrease in RoF (it always seemed like a more methodical gun) or have the DoT only apply on precision shots.
-
Xuros deserved to get nerf ar's are still lethal you just can't spray and pray the body like you used to and get the kills. I was using necrocasm in skirmish and out shooting handcannons yesterday and it's a pea shooter. Get your headshots just don't aim for the body and shoot.
-
Dude. Suros does takes like 8 or 9 headshots to kill. By the time I get 3 or 4 off I'm dead.
-
Tip use non upgraded xuros it still wrecks
-
Fair enough. Its not just suros either. Ars need a 5 percent buff, and I barely use them
-
I think that's the problem if you buff the whole class in general then you'll have weapons that become op suros shaw price vanquisher the summoner the high impact low rof would be 3 shot with the buff in less than .5 seconds
-
Suros does 22 damage on a headshot. A 5 percent increase would increase each shot by 1 damage. Right now it is a 10 shot kill, that's 9 headshots and a body shot. It would take it to a 9 shot kill with all headshots with the buff I proposed.
-
Another tip drain to half of the mag before going into a gun fight with xuros you'll get alot more damage. With an upgraded xuros it fires so fast that you get those 10 shots in no time.
-
Still, you're better off with a hc
-
Not just a hc pulse rifles and even scouts can do good against hcs as long as you play defensive not aggressive
-
True. I either run my arc messenger or lash for legendary primary's. Or thorn and red death for exotics
-
That messengers a beast

It is.
