I don’t think many players will use the gun for the leniency Magnificent Howl offers, rather they’ll use it for the leniency it still being a precision frame offers. Magnificent Howl is going to be a pretty useless perk—especially for better players. It’d be one thing if it added leniency to a gun that you didn’t have to be half-decent to get, but most people that have the gun can hit three crits with a laser beam. Not removing the precision damage buff would make the gun stand out more as a pinnacle weapon and not just as a mediocre legendary in PvE and an okay one in PvP, especially since the change in RoF also makes the duration of Magnificent Howl effectively less, since you’ll get less shots off in that window. Although it doesn’t affect the gun that much, that’s exactly why it should stay. It’s a fun and interesting part of the gun that doesn’t really make it too much better and so really doesn’t have any reason to be removed in the first place.
