Destiny balances weapons by decreasing impact/damage as they increase rate of fire. That won't change. New weapons will still be on that sliding scale, and they won't kill people any faster. The archetypes that are used now will continue to be the ones that are used. They will have new perks, as RR suggested, and that will lead some players to use them, while others won't.

What will happen with HoW is more diversity in appearance. Both with armor and weapons, more new weapons and more ascended weapons will mean everybody stops looking so similar. That's primarily what you'll see in the HoW weapon experience. (JK everybody will just use TLW/Thorn)
