Cyonan, considering I read somewhere on a thread that some of the snipers received a "GODLY" buff (how pathetically exaggerated IS that description *tut-with disgust added*), I hold firm to my, imo, APT description (i.e. atrociously underwhelming) of many of the ARs as they currently stand.
Oh and btw, I also think that all weapons should perform well without the need to rely on modding them and adding consumables. Doing so should make them easy mode. Currently, without modding and adding amps etc.
...many SUCK.
I should add I am specifically referring to Gold. Not even remotely interested to listen about how they fair on anything less.
The non UR SRs actually aren't all that impressive without consumables or a specific character that can boost their damage(primarily Infiltrators). Kishock maybe, but it has off-host issues.
The problem with the "it should be useful without any mods or equipment" argument is mainly armour. Anything with a high RoF immediately requires AP to be useful against bosses or else it's going to be very overpowered when running with 100% AP. Even the Harrier is not incredibly impressive with no mods. I disagree that mods/gear should not be a requirement since they are not consumed on use. You have no reason not to use them.
When I can get 150% extra weapon damage from my consumables, it's not going to be easy mode to use something with the damage output of a Harrier at that point. It's going to be overkill(which is why I use the Vindicator on my Justicar and not my Harrier).
If you think this is just limited to ARs, then go take the Incisor into Gold on a character with no mods, no consumables, and no armour sundering(so no AP at all) and tell me how well you fare against armoured targets. Do the same for the Tempest.
and the only difficulty I play is Gold.

It's just most noticeable with the AR category because there are so many of them - well, arguably the SMG category has it the worst because there's the Hurricane, and then everything else although the Tempest and Hornet can work in certain builds. I think the only categories that have a wide spread of useful options are the pistols and shotguns. Everybody talks up the Talon and Claymore, but the both have a ton of options that work.
You very rarely see Sniper Rifles outside of the Infiltrator class as well(unless you're Stardusk playing the Turian Soldier) which qualifies as "specific builds".
If we're talking about which categories have the most number of useful options, then I imagine that ARs would fare quite well because of the fact that there are so many of them. They'd probably also win most number of useless options as well, again because of the sheer number of them.
I'm not saying that Gold ARs are all amazing weapons, but I am saying they're not nearly as bad as people around the BSN say they are(for the record, I have said that all gold ARs could use a buff of varying amounts). I suspect that people just aren't using consumables or have an insanely high standard of what not being "atrociously underwhelming" is.
