Do share, why don't you use them? And I'd rather have more specific reason than "I don't like them" (which is a valid reason ofcourse), because I'm curious why don't you like them.
Thank you!
EDIT: Typo, and thank you for feedback. :p

-They are the worst possible option against swarms. -They are suicide vs any serious melee threat. -Any time I would use a shotgun, my melee is the better choice. -Boss instagib stomp. Shotguns just don't make sense in a game where melee abilities are readily available, more damaging, and provide utility.

Fusion rifle master race lulz

Because they simply aren't useful. I'd use them if they were, I've got Found Verdict and Invective, both of which are cool, but man, they just get me killed. I wish there was an enemy like the flood from Halo, against whom shotguns reigned supreme.
-
Because Phalanxes
-
I do! Just only on patrol though. I can't take a shotgun into the vault. There's too many ranged enemies, and too many that explode on proximity.
-
Snipers do more damage, enemy melees are overpowered, shotgun range is non existent.
-
Because Phalanx. Also, lightswitch. Oh, and knights.
-
..I do[spoiler]lol idiot[/spoiler]
-
Because it just doesn't have the satisfaction of a mid to long range headshot.
-
Im awfull at close ranges, the only reason melee works for me is the lunge.
-
shotgun + me = 25 killstreak
-
No range. Try shotgunning crota. I dare you.

You have to get too close to an enemy in a nightfall or raid to kill them = suicide. I will probably use my maxed sword breaker now with +2 agility on lamps as my secondary weapon. Does Bungie understand they can't make us play the game how "they" want. Shotguns don't get used for a very good reason. If we don't use a crap gun increase damage maybe they will use it, if we use a good gun nerf it, great logic then we will all be using shotguns then they will nerf them again !
-
You can't run up to a boss with an invective and kill em'. Snipers also have way better damage output.
-
Snipers do approximately 1,000,000x more damage? Lol. Nah but seriously I use my FB to kill any adds that are nearby and firefly> any shotgun. And a sniper to kill the far away adds and also stun lock them.
-
I luv my secret hand shake
-
Still got my found verdict
-
I like more then 5 feet of range.
-
I always switch out my special weapons, I always used shotguns and found then reliable in plenty of areas, so this update is gonna make me love my shotguns even more.
-
Nightfall + shotgun = certain death But I'm looking forward to x2 power shotgun.
-
Icebreaker
-
Nightfall + Shotgun = Guardian Down!

Edited by l-N333D-MON3Y: 2/7/2015 7:58:08 AMi like to run around with snipers cause getting a quickscope headshot is more satisfying then any shotgun kill edit: thought you said pvp, i only use shotguns if the enemies are at least a few levels lower than me
-
I wasn't using them because I really don't like them, I prefer guns with higher range and accuracy. But now I'm using Invective because I want the grimoire point for kills with shotguns.
-
I used to because they were actually very OP in PVE back in Vault of Glass Normal. The Comedian w/ Void Damage silenced so many Praetorians, but because of the base damage nerf they received a really long time ago. They were rendered useless and was sent to the Crucible. I'm actually glad they're coming back. I can use my shotguns with no problem now.

Cos too short range and is shit slow. Nuff said
