I seriously use an auto-rifle all the damn time (Destiny)

The very first Vanguard gift package I ever got had a Shadow Price with Field Scout, Reactive Reload, and Outlaw. It was a chainsaw in vanilla Destiny. Then it was a worthless piece of worthlessness back in February (and March, and April). The only reason I didn't shard it was because of the memories. It is now, once again, amazeballs, and I'm so glad I didn't shard it. Here's how my experience went:

Vanilla: I win 1v1 against any enemy. I can get 2-3 kills easily without reloading.
Post nerf: I lose 1v1 against most enemies. I can theoretically get 2 kills without reloading, but more realistically I only get 1.
Now: I win 1v1 against most enemies. I can get 2 kills without reloading.

It really feels dramatically more powerful since HoW than it did before the expansion. RoF, stability, or just stagger... but something improved and I highly doubt it was me.
