Fusion Rifles Are Dying... Again.
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!

There is definitely a niche for these bad boys you just have to get a roll that fits your playstyle. Mine has hip fire and braced frame, it's basically a taken melting laser beam of death. It's fatastic! However I have never felt a fusion was worth anything without certain things ie; bonus damage to X enemies and hip fire. It would be nice to have a few other rolls that I can be successful with as well.
