The grind for that weapon alone justifies keeping it at least an elemental weapon.
So, my only two shotguns (Hawethornes and Paradox) which I love using up against Captains and Shielded Enemies... Are now crap.... It's probably safe to assume that they are also getting a damage Nerf.
Edit: Ok so After running with it today thru some strikes and activities, I don't think I will have an issue with it becoming Kinetic. The basis of my post was because of the matching Element shield explosion. But ya I guess I am fine with it all considering Universal Remote was amazing in D1.

You do realise that kinetic weapons deal 10% more damage to non shielded enemies, so it’s a net buff [b][i]technically. [/i][/b]
