Something I've noticed since this nerf was made is that the weapon has become much less useful in PvE game modes.
Know how much it used to take to destroy a blight with Doctrine? Almost a whole mag, which was fine.
Know how much it takes now? A whole mag, a reload, and then a couple of rounds of the next mag.
Considering how fast the weapon fires, its mag runs out way too goddamn quickly. It's a weapon I really enjoy using, and though it can still be viably used in the crucible, its use in PvE took a heavy blow as a result of this nerf.
Lets be honest, the only people who wanted this nerf in the first place were the people who got killed by the gun a lot.

That's why I like my assembly II (my first legendary of ROI) counter balance, perfect balance, extended mag, with the recoil management sight. 68 rounds of laser beam goodness. If it wasn't for Genesis chain's firefly effect I'd never use another auto in PVE
