Erentil has essentially left it's category as a midrange weapon. As well as making primary gunfights almost pointless.
It's range has far exceeded what should be reasonable for a fusion rifle with such a tight bolt spread and reasonable recoil.
It's charge rate, which should be the slowest (and require timing/planning) is a non-issue when faced with most primaries, and closing the distance with a shotgun is... Hit or miss, no pun intended (looking at you, pellet spread.)
Nevermind the sad state of a sidearm against the charge rate.
It needs adjusting, either the range needs reigned in, or the charge rate needs a rework to be longer, or even just adjust the bolt spread at range to decrease the instances of "Mapping" guardians with it from a range that's entirely unreasonable.

The nerf should be for crucible only though. I'm so tired of people from crucible making points and complaints (that are valid complaints in crucible, yes) about good PVE guns that get nerfed into the ground because it doesn't work well in PVP.
