Again you are assuming how shotguns will perform after the nerf. We don't have enough information. This is my opinion. Nothing more. It's their game, they can do whatever the heck they want with it. But based on the information I have, and the lack again, of a decent player test environment, I feel this nerf to Hungering Blade is premature at this time. I think it's an overreaction to something devs saw that they believed players might think of as being op or out of balance. Considering we have had Clever Dragon with high cal perks for five months, this pattern of logic is sort of amusing to me. And it tells me that they didn't like it themselves, not necessarly because they believed it was for the good of the game. If you have spent anytime playing this game in the past three years, you realize quite quickly how little sense this nerf makes based on Bungie's own sandbox philosophy. I look at actions, not words. So we disagree. No problem. Time will tell.
