I think the need for a buff is more PVE oriented. A 6 round mag and it takes longer to reload than a potroast takes to cook. That is a bad situation when a bunch of thralls or supplicants are headed right for you.

True, it's a weak gun for PvE but it's currently treading a thin line in Crucible. This is why I'd honestly rather have either separate gear with unique PvP stats, or for Bungie to code in different damage models for each mode - as in a gun will do X amount of damage in PvE and Y amount in PvP. That's more work for bungie but it's the best way to keep from having to nerf crap time and again.

Yeah, I agree. Two sets of stats, one for PVE and one for PVP would be nice.
