The whole dynamic between kinetic and energy weapons was supposed to be that kinetics do better damage to unshielded targets while energy weapons shreds shields. However since Final Shape kinetics were heighted to make them more useful while stasis and strand weapons were treated like energy weapons that just so happen to be in the kinetic slot
Kinetics are working within the parameters you fellas at Bungie laid out for them, strand and Stasis on the other hand are not. Nobody needs 2 energy weapons or 2 kinetics we need a balance of both. I guarantee 90% of none heavy Stasis weapons are Chill Clip weapons and for strand it's probably just Scatter Signal specifically.
If you're going to fix the issues the kinetic slot has please consider this because I think most would agree that punching down is not the answer
