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

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.

I actually tried that - the range between the pool you had to stand in and his belly was great enough that you missed a huge amount of damage using a shotgun.

Also, wanted to put in a small argument about the fact that primary/energy are the same idea of weapon, above - I use energy weapons to rip down shields, something that you CAN'T do with a primary. (Occasionally, I forget that i'm not using my energy weapon when fighting a strong shielded enemy, and wonder why it's taking so many shots.) Yes, they're interchangeable once shields are down... but there are enough shielded enemies (especially in the current activities) that treating them as the same category doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, I don't have the same beef w/ the "2 primaries" as other people do. I like being able to carry a handcannon + something else. Although, I think it would be fun if the "primaries" had a little greater variety, similar to Halo's non-power weapons.

I think I'd enjoy D2's system a lot more if I enjoyed more of the weapon types. As it is, I just don't have fun playing with Hand Cannons (aside from Sunspot, aka the best Destiny gun ever), Sub Machine Guns, Sidearms (except for that rediculous IB sidearm, lol). I like a couple Pulse Rifles. I use scout rifles because they are effective, but I don't find them particularly fun most of the time. So it's not at all uncommon for me to end up running 2 Auto Rifles. So yeah, not the most diverse experience for me, lol.
