It's not a me problem as I find a few ways to do dmg but still the current book is underwhelming and I often end up using weapons that do far higher dmg. I still love the book but would just like to see more of them as this opens up a lot of different idea for how they can work. Also a book about the size of a suit case floating infront of you whole you cast from it would be a pretty cool idea as this can also allow the book swing to be seen better by the players. I know most people don't care but still a good book able to buff/bless then entire team with the tomb buffs (strength, efficiency, duration, and whatever other ones you may have) would make the books looked at by more players as the book is mostly used then tossed aside as Mastery fodder. What I'm basically saying is that the fact that the current book Is electric and has low fire rate it Is tossed aside and deemed useless aside from the buffs. It's nothing but a tool for most. I think that a good fix would be the book being able to cycle through elements with the reload button would fix it or add a tad bit more fire rate. I found a build myself that takes a bit of effort to even use as it's so low on dmg you need abilities or you abuse the elements on it with secondary encumber. Shoot even making the book be the only weapon to use two secondary arcanes would be nice. Like secondary encumber and Cascadia flare.
