No... please don't spread this misinformation. What I consider to be the absolute best use of it in the game is still perfectly functional- you can shoot the Swordbearer, and Ogres, through the rocks and accouterments of Crota's arena.
What was the intended purpose of Armor Piercing in the first place. Just to shoot Phalanx through shields? The bonus of shooting stuff through walls was great, too bad it had to change.
Well, to shoot through
targets. if you shoot a guy and there's a guy behind him it hits both. Also please be aware the shooting through walls has been limited, not eliminated.
He's exaggerating. They're definitely pretty fucked in PvP but in PvE the AR's feel fine. The usefulness of the Abyss Defiant is still great.
AD has that wizard magic going for it.
I dunno, my Vanquisher was apparently hit almost the hardest of all and I was still enjoying using it in CE last night. Granted I was highly distracted by
making bitches kneel with Swordbreaker at the time.
