The great pulse rifle nerf

I've been a pulse rifle user from long ago. I love the feel of the weapon and how it rewards precision. It's true they are the top choice for crucible and other weapon types have a harder time competing. However, was 'nerfing' to this degree necessary? 9% base damage reduction to LROF and 8% to MROF? I'm sure with head seeker there will still be a possible two burst kill. But, does anyone feel this may be an overkill? Thoughts?

  • IMO a two burst kill is much worse than a two shot hand cannon kill. The learning curve for the Hand Cannon 2 shot at least made it so less people could pull it off. As it is now it feels like many more people are two burst killing than people were two shotting with Thorn or TLW. At least in the hand cannon era those guns were harder to come by. Two burst (some 2.5 burst) pulse rifles are very easy to obtain.
