Shotgun proficiency is changing from +3% ROF to +3% shield damage
This means the shotgun will not be able to kill heavies in 1.8 as they will be able to turn around before you can shoot the 4 shots it takes to kill them |

This means the shotgun will not be able to kill heavies in 1.8 as they will be able to turn around before you can shoot the 4 shots it takes to kill them It's actually an anti-shield buff, anti-armor nerf. The shotgun is, after all, Gallentean and is a blaster. You realize exactly how much of a boost that anti-shield bonus is, right? It's going to devastate shields, as it should. This will give the Breach variant a lot more tempting use than in 1.7, you know. As a Commando runner, I'll gladly take that shield damage over the rate of fire. Not only am I getting a boost from the Commando skill, but also Prof.? **** yeah. So no, it's actually not a nerf.
You obviously dont use the shotgun
Anyone who skilled up the shotgun knows how terrible of a bonus this is.
The shotgun would need to 1 hit kill most suits and 2 hit kill heavys with this bonus for it to be worth it. |

Actually, I use a standard on the 'Dragonfly' Scout. It's easily able to bring down anything that isn't a Sentinel within a couple of shots. It takes something a bit stronger to crack the Sentinels before they can react. No, I don't brick tank a light frame. I find the concept silly. I actually use Dampeners on my Scout suits. You're not using the shotgun right if you really believe rate of fire is what the shotgun needs. I'm also going to go out of my way and assume you have never used the Breach. The Breach is the only shotgun that benefits with rate of fire to a considerable amount. However, high rate of fire implies that you will need multiple shots in a short amount of time. Damage, on the other hand, implies that you will be doing a lot of damage and thusly will not need to shoot multiple times quickly. That's the fundamental difference between sheer power and speed.
Yep, you don't level proficiency
The normal shotgun get a HUGE bonus from proficiency while the change to the breach shotgun is almost unnoticable |

I have no shotgun skills whatsoever and can still take out heavies with a militia shotgun, no damage modifiers.
Not only does skilling operations make the shotgun worse but heavys are getting buffed in 1.8
Your argument is invalid, especially since you don't know what it's like to have shotgun prof 5.
This is a huge nerf |

I in fact prefer this bonus over ROF, since alpha damage is king with SG's.
This shows you haven't leveled proficiency, no sane person would prefer shield damage over ROF. Especially since the shotgun is not a alpha weapon as it takes 2-3 shots to kill most enemy's, and a 15% bonus to shield damage won't change the # of shots needed to kill |
