I know I'm going to get backlash for this but, Its something bungie/ the raiding community needs to hear. raid teams are too specific on what weapons people bring into engagements The IKELOS shotty and many other weapons are ruining players raiding careers via players getting kicked/ removed from fireteams It's a game wide problem and now with the introduction of The IKELOS shotgun the game has been turned on its head players are being kicked for not having it. Open your eyes this is wrong and anyone who is guilty of this should just go hide in a hole because they are doing something wrong and should be punished for kicking people out of endgame content Its bad enough we have that many people in this community who would do such a thing its just sad that players are being ridiculed for not having said weapon. anyway ranting aside players need to stop kicking other players for no having other weapons because In D1 one of my favorite rocket launchers got nerfed because of this kind of stuff we should've learned our lesson community

Their are weapons that "help" and that are "nice to have or more preferred dps", but as you said no weapon, aside from that specific version, is best to raid with. If your under light it makes sense,to an extent, but even then if you spec your self right you can even out damage heavies.
