I've only done a little testing, but as far as I can tell they are pretty much the same post-patch. Anyone have any different results than this?

Going to do some testing with my finnala's peril tonight, I expect greatness. May or may not work out for me. ;)

I've barely done anything other than SRL since Tuesday, but I did use my Fatebringer during our VoG run. I was finding it easier to hit my targets. I'd say the reduced range (compared to year 1 hand cannons) is still very noticeable. I could only 1-shot the Vex goblins if I was hitting them from close range. For example, during the Templar battle, I used to be able to stand in front of the left Conflux and 1-shot the Goblins coming out of the door at the top of the stairs. This time I had to be standing half way up the staircase (next to hidden left Oracle) to have any hope of 1-shot killing them. But the accuracy feels on point again, which is a big improvement over the initial 2.0 changes.

Hawkmoon got hit pretty hard. Everything else is way easier to hit stuff with. Range is the most important stat on hand cannons now, even more than it was before. Rifled barrel is a top tier perk now.

Using The Last Word this morning, I could tell a HUGE difference in ADS accuracy as opposed to before the patch. (I know its not meant for ADS but certain circumstances it helps).

The Last word essentially just got better, yay
