[b]Watch the video[/b]. Damage per bolt reduced by 21% with this recent patch. With the added stability reduction fusion rifles have been made almost entirely obsolete.
This thread is not to troll. Seriously. [b]21% damage reduction[/b]. I went flawless in Trials with my Vortex when most people were using 1000-Yard Stare.
I made a thread about my love for the weapon when it was released, which trended with some praise that fusion rifles might be fun again: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157441046/0/0/1
The weapon has been changed entirely. Entirely. I might as well breathe on someone at medium range. Meanwhile, The Last Word + 1000-Yard Stare returns as the meta. Thanks, Bungie. You never cease to amaze us.
EDIT: [b]For those of you telling me I can't aim, that I'm missing all the shots, etc:[/b] that's an entirely different discussion about the stability nerf. I'm not bad with fusion rifles. I main them. I know how to use them. [b]This topic is about the pre-patch 43 dmg per bolt getting nerfed to 34 dmg per bolt with the 2.1.0 patch.[/b]

This could almost be moved to offtopic as a penis poll.
