Please nerf the energy weapons, it's a little pathetic when i take three shots from a havoc with a purple shield and die. I understand that psychologically games are set up so bad and good players have a chance, and in your mind even though the bad people will use the over-amped weapon to win which will for the most part put them on our level without having to be as good, so it's a scale for the most part that weighs out the game. Still the guns are sad and need to be nerf'd. All the noobs are using them now.

    Just because you have level 3 shields doesn't mean you should be able to tank everything in front of you.

      Energy weapons DO need a nerf. Energy weapons were the reason I stopped playing for quite a while because I was sick and tired of being insta murdered regardless of how kitted out I was. They make purple armour seem like you're wearing no armour at all and in a game that thrives off of "Better loot means higher chance of survival" that's a huge issue.

      Energy weapons have thier negatives for sure. Very high recoil for example and to be truly effective they need a turbocharger but that is NO excuse for them being as powerful as they are. What I'd say is let them rip shields to shreds but do next to no damage to health. They can be used as a switch out weapon similar to how weapons work in other games. Use your havoc/devotion to tear down the shields then switch to your secondary to finish the kill.

      Halo 3 for example. There was a tactic to where you'd pop a sniper shot in to the body, switch out your BR and get a headshot to finish the kill. It was risky but effective. I'd like to see Energy weapons used in a similar way. It'd be a "ballanced nerf" in that they are hyper effective against shields but not very effective against raw HP.
