The great pulse rifle nerf
I've been a pulse rifle user from long ago. I love the feel of the weapon and how it rewards precision. It's true they are the top choice for crucible and other weapon types have a harder time competing. However, was 'nerfing' to this degree necessary? 9% base damage reduction to LROF and 8% to MROF? I'm sure with head seeker there will still be a possible two burst kill. But, does anyone feel this may be an overkill? Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My understanding with Bungie's tweak to pulse rifles was that they were in the power position they were supposed to be. When buffing them to the position they are now the pulse rifle was at optimal performance. Now, we have an almost reciprocal reduction in buffs to low rate of fire pulse rifles. I truly hope that these nerfs make a very mild impact, but with their track record of weapons balancing it may not end well. If anything, other weapon types should have received minor buff adjustments to bring things in line.
