Why aren't YOU using Shotguns in PVE?
Do share, why don't you use them? And I'd rather have more specific reason than "I don't like them" (which is a valid reason ofcourse), because I'm curious why don't you like them.
Thank you!
EDIT: Typo, and thank you for feedback. :p

Fusion Rifles offer a great damage alternative that can be used from a pretty good range away. That's not going to change even with the range nerf. Snipers overall out perform both weapons and allow you to take down enemies quick and efficiently from distance. Personally I don't think the 2X damage thing is going to help. If you are playing anything at level 30, or the nightfall, or any of the harder content, Knights, Captains, Stealth Vandals, etc. are still going to be able to kill you in like 1-2 hits up close regardless of how much damage your shotgun does. Hell, Psion's can one hit you at level 26-28 with their melee attack, and then when you add in all the burns and modifiers in most of the harder stuff, it just doesn't make any sense to use a weapon that puts you in such risky territory on the battle field.

3 RepliesMost mobs that need that kind of single target damage do massive damage to you, I'd love to see shotgun users in lightswitch nightfalls.

1 ReplyShotguns are nice and all, the damage output is ridiculous. But that requires you to get up in the face of something. The reload speed can also leave much to be desired in PvE, since it's one shell at a time and not the whole magazine. I'd rather use a sniper, that can really reach out and mess something up before I'm even within their range of fire, or a fusion rifle that staggers all enemies and has fairly decent range and reload (enter my beloved Plan C that I've had since week one of the game)

1 ReplyI don't use shotguns generally in pve because it's just to -blam!-ing easy to snipe AI.

2 RepliesThree reasons: I don't like them, I suck with them, and I have refused to be a shotgun guy on principle since I first saw the way people played Crucible with them. Which is hypocritical considering I use TLW.

3 RepliesFor the reason most are replying with, that alot of the enemies in the level 28-32 category are often to plentiful to take out with a shotgun, plus their range is often more than a shotgun can handle. Most of the strike missions don't really lend themselves to using a shotgun, with the exception of the Sepics first room with the Servitors. Cheers

Because I have skill with primaries.

I do I love close range and I love when people get said. Tougher to get in close than spray away with an auto

for me its the range. I love em when you have a few mobs... but when you get overrun.... too slow. Swordbreaker is great on minotaurs!
