[Request] Coated Bullets
making #1 pistol and #5 rifle explosion would have been nice also.
I think each weapon set of the engineer (each existing one and upcoming by elite specs) should have at least 1 attack which is an explosion. We don’t have any damage modifiers for our weapons anymore like other professions and this way we could get some extra damage for power weapons and condi for condi weapons (shrapnel).
The said ones (pistol 1 and rifle 5) would fit in this and the shown hammer skill from the hot trailer could easily count as an explosion too.
And PLS make coated bullet baseline. With this 2 changes pistol will finally be an aoe condi weapon (as it is supposed to be).
Yeah, they should have got this aspect in their when they fixed the bombe range.
the said in a livestream that this was supposed to happen…i guess they changed their mind which is a shame cause especially pistol 1 is useless…but also pistol 2 is super bad
While we’re at it, don’t forget to fix the forgotten parts of rifled barrels.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
I can almost accept Explosive Shot not piercing, since its an AoE on hit, so even without piercing it still has some decent mob capabilities. And it does get a tad boring when every projectile just pierces. Make it an explosion so that it works with those traits, maybe increase the AoE radius a tad, and I’d actually be perfectly happy with it.
But Dart Volley really, really suffers from the lack of piercing. Its hard enough hitting a target at range with it as it is given the spreadshot nature of the attack, but even moreso when random enemies in front of your target can also eat your shots. And its hardly powerful enough to justify that amount of difficulty for using it. Just make it pierce, please.
