On Light and Power Levels. (Destiny)

Is anyone at Light Level 170, and does it feel different than being a maxed 34 pre-update?

I have a 170 Warlock. I ran Normal Crota this morning with a group, and just spent five hours in Skolas. Both seemed much more difficult than they would have pre-update. Part of it is definitely the Hand Cannon range reduction. I previously used an ascended Fatebringer and Found Verdict for Skolas. It was perfect, because I like having the shotgun for Captains in the hidey-hole. Well, now Fatebringer doesn't have enough range to take out the adds across the map effectively, so it's pretty tough.

Shotguns also took a huge PVE nerf, too, so that weapon combo is probably really suboptimal now.
