Something I've noticed since this nerf was made is that the weapon has become much less useful in PvE game modes.
Know how much it used to take to destroy a blight with Doctrine? Almost a whole mag, which was fine.
Know how much it takes now? A whole mag, a reload, and then a couple of rounds of the next mag.
Considering how fast the weapon fires, its mag runs out way too goddamn quickly. It's a weapon I really enjoy using, and though it can still be viably used in the crucible, its use in PvE took a heavy blow as a result of this nerf.
Lets be honest, the only people who wanted this nerf in the first place were the people who got killed by the gun a lot.

No, in crucible a player can pre-fire for days as it is so no. Leave it where it belongs in the dirt.
