Don't let Prestige raid be my Hawkmoon (Destiny)

I’ve talked about this before, but D2’s weapon category breakdown (kinetic/energy/power) really is a fatal flaw for my long term enjoyment of the game.

I think it's definitely true for PvE, and even PvP as well.

The thing is, having two primaries doens't matter because they are the same idea of weapon. Low damage, high ammo, used for clearing ads. The three slots in Destiny were all very different. You had much more choice.

The thing that did need fixing was the reliance on snipers in PvE, since they were overwhelmingly the best option against bosses. But that could have been addressed without completely eliminating the special archetype.

How the crap was a shotgun or fusion rifle not the go-to weapon for Golgoroth? Sniper for the Warpriest makes sense, but you're right smack dab in front of Golgy, you could shake his hand if he'd let you. It seems obvious that a shotty to that huge gut would be the way to take him down, but nope.
