Pulse Rifles in the Red Death/Nirwen's Mercy archetype need a serious buff. Why would you want to use them when weapons like Hawksaw and The Waltz are so much better?
Using a high-mid impact pulse, it takes 3 bursts to kill another player. How many does it take with a Hawksaw? 3. The Waltz? 3.
And the effective range? The way you've done the damage falloff, as a percentage, the higher impact pulse rifles are actually losing more damage when they're outside the optimal ranges than the higher-RoF at the same range.
I'm not asking you to make them a 2-burst kill, but the falloff damage needs to be looked at. If a weapon is less forgiving, it should be more rewarding.
IDIOT EDIT: Apparently my wording wasn't clear enough for certain people. I'm not talking about the max impact archetype, that contains Spare Change and Parthian Shot. I'm talking about the next tier down, with Red Death and Hopscotch Pilgrim.

I like, so I bump

Big red death fan here so if supporting this gets bungie to add a little more octane to a gun I already like then you have my vote. Your point is well taken though. I don't outgun people when I use red death. Especially if they are using a faster firing pulse archetype. I have to get the drop on them or make an early decision to find cover.

I want my Red Death back to its former glory. But, I do have a question. Can the typical Destiny player still aquire a year 3 Nirwen's Mercy??
-
Yes. Bump.

Parthian shot is badass, and my hopscotch ate clever dragons alive last IB. Their fine as they are right now, only thing needing looked into is how min & mid impact need the same amount of bursts to kill.

After returning from the trip, I knew that I missed the last iron banner event, but I did not expect that Bungie will add to the iron banner vendor list the Clever Dragon rifle with the most broken roll. For me it is a mockery, now it turns out that I have to endure the fact that every second player will run with this rifle in PvP until the developers decide to change the meta to the new one. It's not funny, I'm so tired of this obvious shit that I decided to pay more attention to other games. P.S.: Good luck with this post, but we all know that Bungie live in their own world of numbers and as the practice shows in part of the weapon balance they don't listen to anyone.

Edited by Rage insanity: 11/18/2016 2:52:02 AMMy gunsmith pulse rifle is a 2 burst kill. Excuse my trying but i think its call the lydmilla D pulse rifle
-
Parthian Shot vanguard pulse rifle can kill in two bursts so no, they're fine.
-
There are already 2 burst rifles, so how do you buff them
-
They do need buffs
-
Um, why don't you focus on spare change first
-
Get a hopscotch and get over it.
-
-
Agreed, at least spare change 2 bursts :/
