So fusions dominated in last IB apparently.
Anyone else feel a nerf inbound?!

That's bungies graph, also they said that fusions were the most deadly secondary this ib.
Equip rates went up 59% and the kills with them went up by 51%
With the elevated vision being the deadliest fusion. I'll be looking for one of those

1 ReplyI used Fusion Rifles much more in the last IB compared to previous IBs. Used the Thesan, Ashravin's and the Susanno on my Hunter, Titan and Warlock respectively. Found more instances to get kills with them instead of the other specials.
-
Lol I'd like for everyone to notice snipers are at the bottom
-
2 RepliesShit I must've been playing the outlying matches because I saw way more shotguns and snipers than fusion rifles.
-
2 RepliesI don't believe the numbers. I don't think I got killed by a fusion rifle once the entire iron banner.
-
Telesto life
-
I used a fusion rifle but only saw one other guy using one. Whenever I see fusions in endgame pvp (rarely), I am actually happy to be killed
-
I ran one, but I usually do.
-
1 ReplyI didn't run into anybody with fusions but ran into an awful lot of shotguns.
-
Naaa.
-
This iron banner I used a fusion rifle, but barely remember being killed by one. It helps that their ammo capacity wasn't nerfed like shotguns/snipers. And they give damn satisfying kills.
-
2 RepliesI feel partially responsible for these numbers because plan c was how I got my 25 special kills for the weekly on all three characters. I even took out a few roaming supers with it, so satisfying.
-
1 ReplyWell when bungie actually fixes something and it works good, people will rush to use it. Overused does not equal over powered
-
Yup. I used a second fusion this time. I usually just use telesto and maybe plan c. This time I used the sweet roll thesan the gunsmith brought me.
-
Anyone know the usage % before? I'm guessing it's low, so a 59% increase doesn't mean that 59% of people playing used them, it just means that % more than usual used them. Though, their ability to kill quickly is a little bit of a different stat. I found myself unable to consistently one burst, I'm guessing due to burn defense perks on armor, so use of my thesan, susanoo and panta rhei was spotty. That said, I suck at PvP, so I may not be the best example.

2 RepliesI use a sidearm, so I feel relatively nerf proof. Famous last words....
-
1 ReplyTelesto: Pumble someone with spikey explodey bits, hide wait for them to go bang and they die, Move on to next victim. Because Telesto is such a weird niche weapon, no one expects the strategy... It needs a bit more punch from a distance or less spread to be viable other than stuffing around...
-
2 RepliesI didn't notice anywhere in the report where it states that "fusions dominated in the last IB". It simply shows that fusions statistically "proved more effective than other special weapons". That is an entirely different statement.
-
Edited by ThisMahSwamp: 5/9/2016 3:35:19 PMDominated?! You sure about that? What if I told you that Fusions still only accounted for roughly 2% of all kills in the last IB? [spoiler]Hint, hint, nudge, nudge....snipers and shotguns were still sitting easy at 15% or more[/spoiler]
-
1 ReplyYes, Plan C use the Plan C perk and aim at their feet from pulse Rifle range - one shot kill! Miss however and you are up......
-
2 Replieslol Looks like someone made up this graph in about ten minutes using Excel. Where is the Source for this data?
-
All i saw in IB were red glares and slide shottys. Only fusion rifle i got killed by was a sleeper :)
-
Pls nrf
-
I use a fusion as my secondary more than a sniper these days in PVE but during IB I got done by shotgunners, and probably snipers (and certainly MIDAs) way more than by fusion rifles. I found my fusion to be about the best defence to shotgun rushers though.
-
5 RepliesIf there were 10 people that used them last iron banner, a 60% increase would only be 6 people...so just because it went up by a large % doesn't mean a lot of people used them. [spoiler]they didn't [/spoiler]
-
I used and wrecked with them in IB great for taking on shotgun rushers and doctrine abusers
-
Edited by AMC_07: 5/9/2016 4:44:57 AMI didn't notice them tbh. It was mostly shotguns and snipers on my end. If there were fusions, I was killed by the fusion wielder's primary, heavy, or abilities. I'd like to know where these games are though
