Yeah, the only thing they can be useful for is picking off hurt enemies, but trying to outshoot a high stability pulse rifle in an even 1v1 gun battle is extremely hard I'd have to say. I think the AR's are fine imo but the pulse rifle buff was crazy..9.7% or something?! Pulse rifles shouldn't be able to two burst kill. In Halo (yes I know this isn't Halo, but tell me Halo wasn't balanced and you're wrong) the BR was 4 bursts in the head to kill. It takes half that to kill in destiny, and doing it requires very little skill.. Imo pulse rifles should take more skill to use than AR's, not less.
