[quote]I disagree in that Crucible is in a good place only because scout and auto rifles are bottom line garbage. I totally agree with OEM though. Notice how they nerfed all of the super regenerating exotics of the warlock and hunter, but didn’t even touch OEM.[/quote] Yeah auto rifles need a range bump and same with side arms. Shotgun dominance is so boring right now. One kid last night had eye mask, two scavenger perks and a shotgun. He didn’t pull a primary all game and ended up with 29 kills. Eye mask is cheap enough but shot gun bum rushing and never touching another gun is offensive. ;o)

Tbh shotguns are not as dominant as everybody is saying. It seems like that because they are used frequently because they are easier to use than a sniper or fusion. Try using a sniper (if you are good with them), and you can do fine. High Impact fusions are also very dominant.

I was using a Tatara gaze with snap shot and rampage which was great fun. Also the erentil is stupidly good with two scavenger perks. You basically don’t need a primary with that set up on the gloves and bond. Still as good as they are the one and done nature of shotguns is unbeatable when people are running after you to finish a kill. No charge or over zoom / juts BLAT! One and done.

That’s what makes them easy. I see where you are coming from, but a good sniper of fusion user can shut down a shotgun pretty quickly. I see what you mean though.
