Magnificent Howl was an unneeded nerf to a PvP problem that was solved by the RPM change, and should be reversed.
Threat title.
But removing the damage buff from precision shots and making it next shot only means this weapon is below the floor useless as a legendary piece of equipment. It lots it's niche as a major masher, and as an add annihilator it doesn't have any value compared to dragon fly, rampage, kill clip weapons, etc.
The RPM nerf already lowered the time to kill within that of a normal weapon's TTK. The only thing removed by this nerf is the unicorn two tap, which is not at all a problem, because the set up is difficult, already slowed by the RPM reduction to take much, and the resulting two tap isn't something that's impossible on similiar RPM weapons (Kindled Orchid with Rampage/Kill Clip comes to mind with a weapon alone, and you also explicitly are allowing AoS to two tap, and many other weapons can two tap with similiar equipment/weapons/abilities combinations), making the unicorn two tap merely a competitive option if you managed to pull it off.
In short, remove the change to mag howl.
