It's not really a nerf. It's a total change about how Electric Shield work. Now, you can stack shields, gaining huge critical bonuses from stacks. It's especially powerful with Synapse or Soma. Some says that bow are now able to benefit from ES's bonus, but I am really not sure since when I tried it my Dread's damages were quite wonky.

But I think that the hitscan not granted to energy weapons is more a bug than everthing though. The multishot gimmick looks still here for hitscan weapon, so since I am rather sure that maybe some changes were not intentionnal. I need to ask a dev about that.
