We have so many fantastic and fun energy primary weapons this season yet I can't use them because all of the current kinetic special weapons we can use suck or just don't exist, to begin with.
What's sad is I know Bungie purposely did this to rein in our guardian's power in PvE and it irritates me and is an unfun experience.
Either make kinetic primary weapons as good as the ones we have in the energy slot this season or make more kinetic special weapons. It's quite frustrating that we don't have any kinetic fusion rifles or grenade launchers.

Kinda agree, kinda disagree. There are some good kinetic specials: Heritage, Succession, Blasphemer, Witherhoard, Izanagi's Burden, Long Shadow. (Heritage is arguably the best special weapon in the game right now for PvE.) It does kind of suck that out of those though the two best ones are only available from DSC. I also get why people wouldn't want to run exotics, so if you take those four out, we're basically only left with two. I disagree with the notion that there's no good kinetic primaries though. People are calling the new S13 SMG with Frenzy "Recluse 2.0." If I had to list off some of my favourites, you've got: Extraordinary Rendition, Dire Promise, True Prophecy, Cold Denial, Escape Velocity, Sacred Provenance, High Albedo, and Time Worn Spire (that last one is more a personal pick since it's the only un-sunset 540RPM Pulse in the game and I got FF/Rampage on my first drop.) Anyway, it would be nice to have some more viable kinetic special weapon options for people who don't raid.
