With its excellent time-to-kill, the Doctrine of Dying was the dominant auto rifle in PvP. It belongs to the archetype with maximum fire rate, but minimal impact.
Anyone who found a perfect roll of the Doctrine of Dying became a nightmare for other Guardians in the Crucible. With incredible stability and an insane time-to-kill, this weapon dominated in PvP for a long time.
The adept version, for which “flawless” was necessary, was particularly sought after. The weapon always came with the perk Persistence, which made the weapon more accurate the longer you fired it. Additionally, Balance Adjustment and Smallbore were welcome.
Later, this auto rifle archetype was nerfed. The Doctrine of Dying became a victim of patches – just as all other overpowered weapons in the past of Destiny faced. Nevertheless, Guardians still like to pull out their Doctrine today. Currently, auto rifles have once again a very good standing in PvP.
All three weapons had to undergo nerfs and balance adjustments, which is why they are no longer as dominant as once. But these exotic hand cannons will be remembered for a long time.
