I've been wondering if NLB could be viable in PvE because of the Master perk. I saw from a few reddit posts that with the Master perk, NLB has 3.7x crit damage while an average sniper rifle does x5. NLB does x3 without the master perk.
What they didn't factor in was the multiplier of regular primary weapons. Primary weapons have a multiplier of about x3, closer to that of NLB. I think NLB should be buffed or fixed such that its multiplier will be closer to that of a sniper rifle. IDK if the present multiplier was intentional or an unexpected consequence of it being a primary weapon, but if it's classified as a sniper rifle, I think it should have damage values like one. Not only that, but it's an exotic and probably one of the hardest weapons to use. Players should get rewarded with a good multiplier for their skill in using it.
Bungie, please fix this.

the impact doesn't match the stat it has her benevolence impact yet does 220 while hb does like 417 for a crit that should change
