As a long time fusion rifle user… (Destiny)

Unfortunately Bungie nerfed them into the ground shortly after (and probably because of) this video. I had to give up using them, and I haven't really seen anyone in Crucible use one in a long time. I guess the exceptions to that are Jotun or Bastion, which are still useful.

A nerf which I hear is once again a sledgehammer where a scalpel was needed.

Nah. There are still plenty of good one-shot fusions. I have a Gallant Charge that is practically glued to my Titan. Timeline's Vertex and The Epicurean both are great in Crucible. And practically any fusion with Rampage ought to be masterworked for PvE.

They are not in vogue, I think mainly because of the time invested per shot.
