It just got nerfed twice leave it alone or buff it. Anything exotic in this game has a target on it for people to scream nerf. Bungie even stated way back exotic weapons and armor are supposed to feel OP.......where has that line of thought gone?[quote][/quote]
Yes, I vividly remember that quote. They said [i]feel[/i] overpowered, not [i]be[/i] overpowered. Give it too much range and it is broken. Give it just enough range and it feels broken, but actually isn't.
Thing is, it relies heavily on accuracy. There's a reason that next to no one uses it: You actually have to be accurate, and they'd rather have a lazy man's shotgun.
My reasoning was that the shotguns would have far greater ranges than they do now. But, the fact that all shotguns would get that spread increase BESIDES this one would mean that it would have the longest consistent range AND the fastest multi-shot kill time at range. This does need a range nerf, maybe not 50%, but 25% at least.
Again though, it's not a consistent one shot kill. Usually you're going to have to two shot as it is. The range is really its only defining factor, and it should be given that it's a precision shotgun.
