As we know, fusion rifles are the least used special weapon type in Destiny. Fusion rifles were a very good, borderline OP weapon type until they were nerfed. Ever since then, the weapon has become obsolete, and useless, which is sad because it is such a cool concept to have an energy weapon. In the weapon rebalancing notes in Update 2.0, we all expected a significant buff, something that will stand a chance against shotguns, but we were hit with very little adjustments, and a slight nerf!? Suggesting a PVE oriented base damage buff to make them a legitimate option for AI ass-kicking.
Please help bring attention to a dying weapon type in Destiny.

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.
