The Crucible is overrun with Pulse Rifles, Handcannons, and Shotguns. The majority of AR's are trash, up to the point where they don't even contend with the top five weapons in Crucible. We should see Bungie buff the impact & stability of all AR base stats by 2 - 3%. Range can stay low where it's at. What are your thoughts?
Edit: the current issue is when I engage in an advantageous one-on-one gunfight, built for me to win and lose simply because my weapon is underwhelming. This lets us know that these weapons are terribly imbalanced. Granted I'm not the strongest of players but I understand tact & game flow.

Edited by Mighty Albatross: 3/25/2015 11:59:23 PMI recently went into crucible using a Galahad-E auto (low rof and higher impact than most autos) it was ok. Just ok. I was still being murdered way often than I should. High rof autos have been made into water guns.
-
At least separate pve from PvP. It's ridiculous how many magazines it takes to kill a knight with AR now.
-
They should have buffed the pulse rifles instead of nerfing everything else to compete with pulse rifles.
-
Edited by x_BAlN_x: 3/25/2015 11:56:48 PMOnce they buffed the Pulse Rifles all of their data became irrelevant. Shouldn't have considered nerfing the AR until new data was compiled.
-
Either pulse rifles needed a buff or assault rifles needed a nerf. Doing both just switched the problem. Undo either one and all will be well.
-
Actually as a pure AR user since the start i feel like like all guns are where they should be
-
They needed the ARs because they were OP in PvP, that's why they needed them. They're not godlike anymore, not the end of the world
-
If AR's were at the levels pre 1.1.1 they'd be on par with Pulse Rifles right now

-
buff please.
-
10% impact buff with a 5% range nerf would make them balanced
-
Keep the range nerf, bring back the damage.
-
Rebuff ar for pve, yes. I actually think they have the balance in pvp really nice right now.
-
Autos need a buff, but not all of them deserve to return to their former glory... I'm looking at you Suros.

Edited by DeterrentGem27: 3/25/2015 11:04:13 PMThis buff "select weapon type here" needs to stop. Bungie just makes the game worse doing that. That being said, certain auto rifles do need a buff. [spoiler]*cough* hardlight *cough*[/spoiler] Edit 1: I'm not against buffs or nerfs, they just need to be more specific and better planned.
-
They are fine and not overpowered anymore so that you cant miss most of your shots and still kill your enemy.
-
Retard
-
I just think they over did it with the nerft to be honest need to a slight buff to get them back on par
-
I switched to AR's for a more aggressive play style, now im bored sat back with a hand canon. I prefer snipers over shotguns, and shot gunning relies to much on lag and connection and I haven't got the patience for that. Hope Ar's do get a buff so im not restricted to the same weapons every game
-
Needs to happen.
-
I want to keep the poll going.
-
Nah just cause of OP title mistake. It's not a re-buff, they were never buffed. It would either be "unnerf" if that's even a word, or just "buff".

Edited by a clumsy scrub: 3/24/2015 12:44:36 PMPatrol/Cosmodrome The Steppes Enemies - level 2 (so attack power doesnt matter) For the people/Abyss defiant Before nerf Critical damage:68 10 shots per second DPS:680 After nerf Critical damage:64 10 SPS DPS:640 Suros regime (no upgrades, focused fire has worse DPS i believe) Crit Dam:83 7.2 SPS DPS: 597 That said, heres the ranges (all following the same pattern as before. Only includes legendaries and exotics. Some tests arent thorough, such as suros regime and thorn. Tests do not include perks such as crowd control, or luck in the chamber. They are all done within one clip size, so reload speed isnt a factor. Vex mythoclast is not an auto rifle. Minimal impact auto rifles have not been tested since buff, but had the worst DPS before*, auto rifle minimum is a generous guess. Done on 360, so excludes PS exclusives.) Auto rifles: 550*-700 Pulse Rifles :737-771 Scout Rifles: 795-821 Hand Cannons: 1010-1440 In short, auto rifles [b]NEED[/b] a buff, even if its minor.

Absolutely yes! Put them back the way they were and maybe even make guns like Silmar's Wrath, Atheon's Epilogue, etc., do better in PVE. My least favorite guns to use, pulse rifles & shotguns are now the most deadly.
