Differentiate Energy and Kinetic weapons - Buff Kinetic damage against unshielded foes.
Energy weapons have a damage bonus when against shielded enemies (even better for ones they match elementally). This gives them a defined purpose in the game, and people view them as superior as a result because Kinetic weapons don't have anything special about them.
I suggest we give Kinetic weapons the same damage bonus, but for unshielded enemies instead.
It gives Kinetic weapons more of a defined purpose, and also serves to ensure they aren't viewed as inferior by the playerbase. This means people will think more carefully about which weapon to use in their current situation.

Approximately 20% more to a shield, regardless of type (special modifiers excluded) PvP Both the same, however energy weapons having a reported bonus 10% damage to Guardians using a "roaming" super Personally, instead of attempting to buff one or the other, taking a sideways approach and making enemies even without shields more vulnerable or resistant to the types.
