This was about the only topic I really wanted to comment on before even looking at the forums because it was one of the only changes I am hoping for in the full game. I preferred the fusion rifle however in the crucible found it nowhere near as effective as it was in the field. I personally would have liked the ability to fire no matter how charged the fusion rifle was, as in weaker shot for shorter charge lethal shot for full charge. I agree it should have been the first weapon for the warlock, though perhaps an antiquated version. I hope there are more varied fusion rifles in the full game. Perhaps one tailored for more crucible type gameplay. Perhaps too late for game release, maybe not too late for DLC's to show the greater association of the fusion rifle to the warlock.
