So, essentially, we could give Ancients and Scorpions a taste of their own medicine? Because I am so down for that.

No...no more stupid secondary fires. Plus the Paracyst already has that ability.

[(PSN)B_Psycho2]

But this one inflicts a status proc, along with a stun.

It would need to have range worse than embolist to be considered "balanced", and then again it would melt every enemy at point blank range.

 

So, lemme recap this thing...

250 damage of various types split over 12 pellets, at 8 rounds per second, with 10 round mag with 1.5s reload and 20%/x2 crits...

That's about 1091DPS base sustained DPS, and about 2400 burst? By default.

 

And I thought that Visceral was bad at balancing their game.

So yeah, that's all I wanted to mention, weapon balance. Of a concept.

 

You'd have to divide it's damage by a factor of 4 or 5 to make it balanced, and then again it would have really high burst and somewhat acceptable sustain.

The name and the description are making me envision this as looking like one of those weird sponge-like mushrooms that shoots needles from the holes, and if it does do the spike grapple thing it would rupture from the tip and retract afterward.
