[b]Watch the video[/b]. Damage per bolt reduced by 21% with this recent patch. With the added stability reduction fusion rifles have been made almost entirely obsolete.
This thread is not to troll. Seriously. [b]21% damage reduction[/b]. I went flawless in Trials with my Vortex when most people were using 1000-Yard Stare.
I made a thread about my love for the weapon when it was released, which trended with some praise that fusion rifles might be fun again: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157441046/0/0/1
The weapon has been changed entirely. Entirely. I might as well breathe on someone at medium range. Meanwhile, The Last Word + 1000-Yard Stare returns as the meta. Thanks, Bungie. You never cease to amaze us.
EDIT: [b]For those of you telling me I can't aim, that I'm missing all the shots, etc:[/b] that's an entirely different discussion about the stability nerf. I'm not bad with fusion rifles. I main them. I know how to use them. [b]This topic is about the pre-patch 43 dmg per bolt getting nerfed to 34 dmg per bolt with the 2.1.0 patch.[/b]

Bungie keeps changing all aspects to make us do what they want us to do. Im down to just two frickin primaries I care to use in PVE and just snipers for secondary. Heavy will always be rockets so not complaining their. Fusions use to be my go to mainly but since this recent adjustment I agree OP, they don't want us using them anymore. I like variety sometimes but that's out the window now.
