Definitely bumping. I enjoy messing around with fusion rifles in PVE but they are outclassed in too many situations in pvp. Maybe just a straight across the board damage buff in PVE might make them useful again. Or, simply make them able to get critical hits with the bolts. I think the added impact of damage from that would mitigate almost every issue had with fusion rifles. That being said, the spread of the high impact and longer range ones will just make shotguns the more viable option once again. While I love being up in the enemies face blasting them with my hot energy gun, it sometimes is more fun to take a step back, admire the situation, and then blast the crap out of it with bolts of death. Just my 2 cents.
