Hey fellow guardians. I'm loving the new weapon diversity in the crucible. I think it reflects a "perfect balance" (sorry... bad pun) achieved by Bungie. But let's talk fusion rifles. With the exception of but a few, these things have never gotten much love outside the crucible. The DPS against raid bosses is underwhelming, and for the charge rate, you may as well try to kill Ir Anuk with a class-A boomstick. What I suggest as a solution is to (1) add a critical hit multiplier, say 1.5x (2) and/or buff damage by 150%... Honestly I love the charge up elemental shreddage that you get out of these, but when it comes time to raid or do anything serious, the fusions (except Sleeper Simulant) get vaulted and replaced by snipers. Thanks for reading this and I'd like to see some awesome changes to these guns.
Edit: Thanks for all the attention this is getting guys! Keep it up!

I hate fusion rifles so much I can't properly contain how shitty and annoying they are to use as you back away from shotgunners praying that your charge rate will be fast enough to shoot them but no not even once blam right in the dick but hey you finally got a shot off only to miss one trajectory as mr shotgun dickhead casually strolls up to you with his conspiracy-d as you flail your nubbed T. rex arms desperately like some sort of overweight blueberry kid trying to reach over his own fat for his eighth slice of cake. -blam!- fusion rifles forever no thanks. ...But seriously, they're pretty good, though they can be annoying to use in my opinion.
