I don't really agree with that. Radiance is great for churning out orbs and the Voidwalker w/ bloom + Obsidian Mind is amazing. Sunbreaker was completely broken for a good while. Golden Gun is very good for focused damage with a nighthawk, there's at least one Shadowshot in most raid groups because of orb generation and bonus boss damage, Stormtrance is excellent for clearing mobs like you mentioned. I'm pretty happy with Fist of Havoc, too, although I think it could use some tweaks.

Restore Thorn to it's old damage, but make it so only the very first bullet of a clip poisons.
Half the benefit of Thorn is the "I know where you are because of the numbers coming out of your head" perk.

And those rounds pierce to the next nearest target that gets poisoned too.

Very nice Grave!! That's awesome. See ya around in ~12 days!
And while firing Thorn you have a green invincible DoT bubble around you and if you move out of it, you leave green DoT poison on the ground which stays the whole match and insta-kills.

I would much rather be killed by shotguns than what is going on now. Campfest 2016.

But they "fixed" them.... Right... Ha ha... Ha...
I feel your pain. I've tried a couple things deal with them. Fusion rifles are pretty good.
I never had a problem with shotguns. You could easily out maneuver them with blink or your own shotgun. Now with Doctrine you could counter them. What I did have a problem with was sniping with felwinters. If that shotgun hadn't existed then all would be right in the world.
yes

Buff Scouts and Pulses so we can flinch snipers out of ADS, and buff auto rifles and hand cannons so we reliably kill rushers w/ mid to short range archetypes. The Last Word shouldn't be the only reliable hand cannon. And you shouldn't have to have a 100 RoF auto rifle to reliably take down a rushing shotgunner before he gets in ohk range.
The special weapons themselves have never felt like a problem to me other than maybe Fusion Rifles back in 1.0 (now they're awful). A shotgun should fee powerful, and should ohko at short range is lined up well. Sniper headshots should be a ohk too. The lack of variety in reliable primaries is always what's felt like the problem to me.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
All this Thorn talk, I got something to add
Make thorn bullets like luck in the chamber where the burn procs off 1 bullet per clip
Even with reload, just have a counter that once effect hits, counter starts even with reload
If burn is the thing that kills the guardian, a firefly effect occurs and creates a fanatic pool for 10 sec, it hurts both sides
The chaos that would ensue would be delicious

But it is so fun taking out that would be shotgunner with doctrine, it's like they get oh so close only for you to say nope!
Oh I completely agree. I just don't think the high impact autos should be totally worthless like they are now. With an ever so slight buff the mid-RoF autos (Monte Carlo, Righteous VII) would be incredible.

I find I don't get those when I tap instead of full auto
Will take that suggestion and try it out next time I play on xbox. Still don't have it on PS4.

uhhh what? TLW is still really good.
will you not agree it is a former shell of itself?
Or just that I suck with it now with the nerfs they made.

It doesn't do 84 precision dmg anymore (or the glitched 111 ADS, which is fine) and sometimes has phantom bullets but it's rare now after their latest fix and back to an excellent gun. And a great counter for shotgunners. There really isn't any other run and guns in the game other than TLW. Running around like a cowboy.
As I said will try it next time I play on the bone. You playing any IB this weekend over there?

I usually play 2-3 games a day, however many it takes me to complete the 3 IB dailies and that's it. I can't stand 6v6 Clash especially on Year 2 maps, anymore.
I have XCOM and Fire Emblem Awakening to beat. And The Witness but I'm super stuck on that game.

Connection based MM, but no damage referee.
I mean Radiance is popped for orb generation and maybe killing a Thrall with grenade spam - Fusion Grenade spam wrecks with tons of damage on a single target but few people do that.
Nova Bomb doesn't do much damage - it's great with Obsidian Mind if you get a lot of kills...again if there's plenty of trash mobs. Not gonna do much if you have a powerful enemy.
Golden Gun does decent damage with Nighthawk because it's literally 2x the power - without it, it's barely enough to kill a Major.
Fist of Havoc again fails to do meaningful damage to bosses or majors. Great for trash.
A lot of supers are only good for quick disposal of large+weak enemy mobs or generating orbs for the actually useful PvE supers: Tether and Bubble. These buff the damage we can unleash with Snipers, the true powerhouses in the game.

Dgaf, what is the best legendary PVE shotgun ? Are Gunsmith shotguns any good for pve purposes ?
Sure but only because it was broken. Double 111s meant a 0.25s TTK - quicker than literally any machine gun.
