I enjoy shotguns in general, but the weekly content doesn't take Kindly to being close to your target. Lightswitch, elemental burns, and high damage melee minions are a pain. Especially since you can shoot them and they still hit you before they die. Now, when destiny was in beta and first released, the shotguns were good. They had range and a tight spread with little damage falloff. I hope the new pve buff is enough to make them viable.
