I hear and read the post abou the Fabian Strategy and a buff, but the Thing is, that the higher Rate of Fire from the "frontline" perk reduce the Damage from the Weapon... the Perk grants only the Change to a Doctrin or an Arminius-D. If you don't believe me, try it. Bungie, remove the Damage Reduction from the Weapon! Then the Fabian Strategy is great.

That's not a bug. Bungie specifically stated in the December update patch notes, that when Front Lines activates the archetype of auto rifle would merely switch. Nothing more. Meaning... Without Front Lines: 88 Rate of Fire 8 impact This is the standard for all medium impact/medium RoF auto rifles. Examples include the Haakon's Hatchet, Monte Carlo, Zhalo Supercell, etc... With Front Lines: 100 Rate of Fire 2 impact This is the standard for all low impact/high RoF auto rifles. Examples include the Doctrine of Passing, Arminius D, Atheon's Epilogue, etc... It's just supposed to switch between archetypes of auto rifles. It's performing exactly as intended. The only problem is, it's performance as intended, sucks. That's why it needs a buff.
