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.

Shotgun nerf should makes fusion rifles better in PvE as a better mid/close range alternative in some cases. As for PvP the adjustments to range and pellet speed supposedly make the hit registration better and more consistent, rather than the current system of players with packet loss seeming to be invincible to them. Have to wait and see if that's true.
