In the exact same update that you mention that fusion rifles are underused you nerf them. Seriously why are you doing this?
I know some people out there prefer the other two kinds of secondary weapons but some of us Bungie really like our fusion rifles. After I got my Mythoclast I tried my best to create the best secondary fusion rifle to get it and when I got my Eldar Cipher I skipped past the Lord of Wolves (which is getting a sweet buff next update) and grabbed for myself a Queenbreaker's bow (which could probably use a PvE buff). Now it seems like all those effects and time I spent on getting/reforging these weapons will all be in vain.
Why couldn't you at least give fusion rifles a PvE buff so they could see some use?
I feel really sad now and I wish I had made some different choices (like a Lord of Wolves instead of a weak fusion-sniper rifle that is basically getting nerfed soon). T_T

I remember my first legendary fusion rifle. I still have it. I suddenly was able to tear up the crucible with it, and it was a BLAST. It's the most fun I've ever had shooting a gun in this game. The last weapon balance patch nerfed my precious precision fusion rifles more than I thought necessary. Of course, I'm incredibly biased and would love to have all fusion rifles blast fools away from across the map. There's got to be a better happy medium, though. Fusion rifles all ready haven't felt the same since the last nerf. Now there's more nerf on the horizon? C'mon Bungie. And what's with these short range quick charge fusion rifles they talked about? How can I care about them when I've felt the exquisite joy from a super slow charge super high impact goddamn mac cannon of a fusion rifle. Probably, my true desires for pvp fusion rifle madness will never again be attainable. However, the original post is right. At least bring back that feeling I had from blowing away minotaurs like they were tissue paper. If fusion rifles still have to wing around nerf darts like puddy in PvP, at least give us a real buff for PvE.
