Currently the exotic only grants melee energy for all subclasses on shotgun kills but doesn't trigger an additional perk outside of Void subclass. So how about those additions? * Solar Subclass = Shotgun kill on full melee energy causes the weapon kill to ignite, causing damage in a close range, spreading scorch to nearby enemies within that range. * Arc = Shotgun kills with full melee energy make you amplified. * Stasis = Shotgun kills with full melee energy create a Stasis crystal at the targets kill location. * Strand = Shotgun kills with full melee energy create 1-2 Threadlings (based on killed enemy type. 1 for regular mobs and players. 2 for majors, elites, ultras and bosses) For clearance, the reason why I mentioned reduced AoE range for the Solar Ignition and only 1 Threadling for a player kill on Stasis is due to the fact that Shotgun kills are VERY easy to get in PvP compared to other weapons. This is also due to the fact that the exotic grants melee energy on shotgun kills, which stacks also with the perk Pugilist, meaning that you could trigger the perk very often since both effects stacked grant you 1/4-1/2 of your melee immediately perk shotgun kill. Balance is important after all. Please consider this idea, Bungie.
