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!

The charge rates are freaking ridiculous; the best I've found so far (and I don't have any of the Y2 exotics) have been the Long Far Gone. And they took away the Accelerated Coils perk, so you can't even get that slight bump to charge rate that you used to. I personally don't care for the low charge-high impact FRs, as in I could go back to orbit in the time it takes to charge one shot. If I'm right in the fray, I need my weapon to fire quickly. Otherwise, I might as well stay back and use a sniper. That's just my preference. And god-blam!-ingdamn me, I can't tell you how many -blam!-in' times I've been walking towards an enemy while trying to charge, only to tap just a [i]little[/i] too hard on the thumb stick and interrupt my charge and start running. I only seem to do that with fusion rifles. Curse my left thumb!
