I feel like a huge chunk of this sub has no idea how this game works. I also don't understand why people are struggling. Every build I have made so far has done incredibly well. I feel broken and far too over powered in a lot of cases. And with the proper thought could probably feel that way with more characters than I do.

Right now, the kineticist, avenger, and gladiator are ridiculous. They are the ultra Rares and it would make sense they are strong. The human adept is also insane and so is the huntress and the turian with the weapon buff. These characters are so filthy and these are basically the only ones I've tried. I don't see this trend changing much while looking through the abilities. I can get back to you on that.

Saying a pistol out performs an assault rifle is a ridiculous statement. The pistol in halo 1 out performed auto rifles too, some of these pistols are strong, the talon I have is currently hitting for about 650 damage. That is more than many shotguns and snipers. The difference between rare and common also isn't that much although I'm curious which two weapons you're talking about.

Another thing about this statement, there is so much more to a build than just what gun you are using, maybe that rifle is outperformed on your build, maybe it isn't, I'm curious what you are running actually.
