That's kind of the way it is now, isn't it? (Destiny)

What I'd prefer to see in Destiny 2 is a more significant boost to the difference between kinetic and energy weapons offset by a significant increase in super charge time. Let kinetic weapons be the go to weapon to kill a Guardian until they pop their super and then you have to switch to your energy weapon to take them down.

I was under the impression that a kinetic weapon would do more damage to unshielded enemies and non-supered Guardians than the same type of weapon would do in the energy slot, with the reverse being true for shielded enemies and supering Guardians.

That’s my understanding as well, but in practice I find I kill a fully shielded guardian just as effectively with my energy weapon as I do with my Kinetic.
