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.

Perfect paradox was never a void dependant shotgun anyway. All you had to do was kill two or three low levels in the crowd and then pump those charged shots into the biggest enemy as their health bar gets blown to pieces. A great crowd shotgun, and it'll never really get worse than it is now.
