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.

Soooooo, im just going to throw this out there, but i was playing with a guy in trials, after watching his twitch stream, who used a Fusion rifle for great success, which got me a little back into using them. Now mind you, he had one with accelerated coils so it had a faster charge, which increased his success rate with it greatly, as im sure it would with any fusion rifle. When You pick a fight using a Fusion rifle you have to be extremely aware of your surroundings, not to mention you will lose to a shotgun unless you are precharged and let loose right before he does, at close to medium ranges its useful in 1-2 shots slightly less effective thatn say a Felwinters or Matador. The Charge rate needs to be reduced across the board on fusion rifles, that would level them out a bit with shotguns and provide a very nice balance, but insteaed they are nerfing both Fusion rifle sand shotguns in 2.0. Look at the Queen's Breaker Bow, it would be an AMAZING Fusion/Sniper in PvP if not for the Charge rate, the only reason i like using it in PvE is enemies tend to stand still more often than Enemy guardians, which i know will leave me highly disappointed in the Sleeper Stimulant heavy coming out, it will be far too easy to mistime your shot.
