Energy Weapon Rework

The energy weapons seem like one of the least sought out weapons in the game. Not only do some energy weapons take too long to fire, but the colorful beam of light streaking across the map also makes it pretty easy for enemy teams to figure out your location.

I have an idea to make energy weapons more viable

Nerf overall dps of all energy weapons heavily - but have energy ammo bypass shields.

A stretch, perhaps, but imo this works thematically and makes energy weapons a viable option to put on up or loadout.

With energy weapons typically taking a second to fire, and the obnoxious light that reveals your location so easily - I think doing this could make them more useful. As pong as the dps is dramatically nerfed alongwith this change, it shouldn't be game-breaking either. Thoughts?
