Do Not Nerf the EP Shotgun

I spent hours trying to get this gun, and it should be as dominant as it is now. Other weapons need to be brought up to the shotgun, not the other way around. Edit: I created this post because I was responding to many streamers and content creators calling a nerf to trench barrel. I disagree with that because the high risk that is often associated with the perk, and the long and unrelenting grind to receive this weapon makes it clear that it is supposed to be very powerful, much like how the Luna’s Howl is for crucible. A nerf to the gun or to the perk is a terrible idea that insults those to is who took the time to get this weapon. With the attention this post is getting, hopefully this gun will stay as potent as ever. Edit: The weapon should not be changed at all. However, it would be nice to see some heavy and special weapon buffs to come close to matching this weapon.

  • I don't think it needs a nerf. I like how powerful it is, and considering how long it took me to get it, I want it to continue to be a powerful option. That being said, I do feel like it has hit that territory of being a weapon so good that load outs are focused around it being equipped and narrowing the amount of optimal weapons to use in the secondary slot in PvE. To me, it is very much like the Black Hammer in D1. There wasn't a downside to using it (aside from having to be decent with aiming), and it just outclassed every other gun in the slot. The switch to making the Spindle (and Whisper) into an exotic showed how special that gun was and allowed the sandbox to open up in the special slot to allow a bit more variation and experimentation with load outs.
