I hope so, I think it was pretty "balanced" (Bungie-terms haha) before the 1.1.1 nerf. I didn't really see too many people complaining about it, so not really positive why Bungie saw a nerf was necessary. My only guess is that they nerfed its entire weapon class and buffed pulse rifles at the same time so that way it would provide more of an incentive for people to get off autos and try out different weapon classes, pulses in particular. I'm hoping this was just a temporary thing, and they'll restore dmg soon now that people have abandoned autos and have tried other other weapon classes now.
