Wardcliff got a huge buff.
• Wardcliff Coil
• PvE damage increased by 115% against boss combatants and scaling up to 160% against weaker combatants

I think this was done to discourage LFR/Queenbreakers in Gambit Prime. Same reason Worm and Simulant were hit with ammo reserve nerfs. Real interesting that for once, the majority of tweaks and weapon balancing isn't influenced by the Crucible (though Gambit is still more of a PvP experience), and will in fact generally benefit people across the PvE spectrum (obviously outside of Gambit).

Now that I think about it, is Bungie just flat-out abandoning Crucible? We haven't had so much as a single new map in over half a year, Trials is dead, it took them just as long to nerf One-eyed Mask, and nothing in the road map has mentioned Crucible at all, other than the lackluster return of Crimson Days...

A Pinnacle Weapon refresh does not PvP content make.
