As we know, fusion rifles are the least used special weapon type in Destiny. Fusion rifles were a very good, borderline OP weapon type until they were nerfed. Ever since then, the weapon has become obsolete, and useless, which is sad because it is such a cool concept to have an energy weapon. In the weapon rebalancing notes in Update 2.0, we all expected a significant buff, something that will stand a chance against shotguns, but we were hit with very little adjustments, and a slight nerf!? Suggesting a PVE oriented base damage buff to make them a legitimate option for AI ass-kicking.
Please help bring attention to a dying weapon type in Destiny.

Very correct the balances and tweaks are only directed towards crucible. As for pve you can not even play seriously with fusion rifles even if you wanted to. Not even the hard hitting fusion rifles like praetorian foil or the 77 wizard (Xmas peasants don't know what the wizard is excuse us) stand a chance vs a shotgun in combat the dps of a shotgun vs fusion rifle is not even comparable. A dmg increase to fusion rifles (pve) which they can do would be amazing and we would see a more wide variation of load outs.
