With the release of 1.8 the shotgun proficiency change will nerf the shotgun and buff the breach shotgun.

Nope
Rifles killing slightly slower dosent fix the shotgun
Especially when the shotgun is getting nerfed to.
Only the breach shotgun will be viable |

Shutter Fly wrote:Too bad the Breach Shotgun can rarely OHK as it is. Even in pubs, you'll probably only get an average of 5-7 kills out of one without resupplying. With the Breach being the "viable" shotgun and the RoF skill gone, we'll be back to the old problem of shotgunners being killed between shots when it's impossible to OHK.
The only thing that made it viable back in closed beta was the increased range combined with the Shotgun Sharpshooter skill.
At least it will OHK more than the normal shotgun |

Yep so long as you completely overlook the introduction of cloaking scouts, the shotgun is certainly dead, it will have absolutely no use in a game that will feature invisible scouts with low scan profiles and as many hitpoints as the logis and assaults running around....
Scouts have low hp
Any scout that tanks HP will get destroy by any other scouts passive scanning |

Goodbye normal shotgun, i will remember you.  you're insane... 5 reasons the shotgun will be better than ever: - scanners are being majorly nerfed - scouts' profile has been lowered - more heavies, who are actually quite susceptible to shoddy scout, especially after being stealth fluxed - big rifle nerf - ummm.....cloaking
Good scouts are already immune to scanners
Heavy buff means you cannot go after heavies, you must avoid them
Rifle nerf dosent make the shotgun good
Cloaking will only help against bad players since your only invisible while still and cant shoot while cloaked |

So... no, not really.
550 hp is low hp
It can be one shotted by a shotgun |

Dont spec further unless you plan on using the breach
Spread decrease makes it worse |
