Eh. Updated change log says Pilse Rifles got up to a 14.23% damage reduction with the popular ones getting a 10.96% nerf. This places them at a lower damage output than they've been since The Dark Below (I think, someone find the 9% across the board increase and fact check me.) That 9% buff was certainly felt, so a 10 - 14% one should be as well. And given the pulse-y drift-y nature of Pulse Rifles and missing a bullet here or there the buffs and nerfs probably don't tell the whole story.

On Shotguns: My Invective NBP Defender felt unchanged but I tended to put all four shots into people so maybe I didn't notice? Ultimately, if all the change does is prevent the longest ranged Lengedaries from one shotting me at Sidearm range then that's good enough. Even shotguns should kill without having to first put the barrel THROUGH someone's helmet.
