does anyone actually read these threads

The deathbringer is one of the classic godlikes on the server. It's the first event godlike we had and it has a proc that I think is really cool. However, it's not by any means a good weapon. I just said that the proc is cool, but it's not actually any good. First of all, the deathbringer is a rifle which means that in most situations you're using a rifle you will never proc the ball since you're going for headshots which is an insta kill, and Given how common mobility is now as a stat or utility on a lot of weapons, most people have a way to outrun the laughably slow ball that chases them if you hit their body and proc the ball. The other interesting thing this weapon has is it's second mode, which is a melee. The problem with it is that every single part of it is useless. It's slow to pull out, slow to swing, does little damage, the only good thing it has is proccing the ball but unless you proc it first swing then you'll instantly be killed for even looking at someone while swinging it.

My suggestion for changing this weapon is

First of all, make the red tint a bit less dark so looking through it isn't so hard in darker maps.

Give it a pull out and reload animation. It also has the old nexus repeater bug where you can keep reloading while shooting so you never run out of ammo.

Make Deathbringer balls scale to mobility, and the longer the ball is active, the faster it moves.

For the melee mode, make headshots charge up the melee mode, which allows you to get a guaranteed proc when you swing at someone who is X meters away (to prevent people from running right up to someone and insta killing them with the proc)

Also give the sniper gory trait, it'll make getting kills with it more satisfying just like Conq headshots + it makes sense with the weapon.

Feel free to give your suggestions for the deathbringer below, I think it's a really cool weapon that needs a bit of love.

Currently, the gun feels very underwhelming to use and is outmatched by a lot of guns even at it's max damage.
Problems:
-Low DPS (While uncharged)
-Massive Sway (Makes it extremely difficult to track and have the benefit of the ability)

Possible Solutions:
-Reduce the Sway
-Make it charge based on time, not damage (Meaning the longer it's held down the more damage it will do)
-Increase the base damage
-Reduce the penalty from missing (Meaning your damage bonus will not reset if you miss for 0.1 seconds)

Right Click:
Entire useless currently and should be completely reworked.

Hold Right Click to "Charge" Polarity (30-40 second cooldown)
After held down for a few seconds unleash a massive destructive beam ("Corona Discharge") for a few seconds.

Don't let it's colorful facade fool you, it is not an invitation, but a warning.

This creature seems to be neither friend nor foe, indiscriminately lashing out at whoever gets near

This weapon cannot be slotted into the eternal bond.

The model should be a default deagle with a black and yellow texture something like this




The weapon does 100 on a bodyshot but leaves no wiggle room to miss ☠.

I think that Freedom on melees should have an increased proc chance, I've been using my trident for hours and it NEVER procs in a fight or at any time where it would be useful. I get that the main argument right now is that on faster melees it would be strong, but that doesn't really make sense to me considering that there's still a cooldown timer on them and realistically how much stronger would a melee be if it shot out fireworks. Right now, the absolute best chance is 1 in 10 to proc freedom and imo that's not really good at all on something like the staff or the trident which are extremely slow melees. I think if melees were 1 in 3 - 6 it would be a lot better, it's not like the doomscooper would magically be overpowered with that change since if anything it would still be getting affected by the cooldown timer already implemented on props.

also let trident tentacles proc freedom, also make the rock throw do the 30 damage it's supposed to do and not 7 they are very useless.

Toy Hammer speed boost, Trident triple shot, Staff of Osiris right click all need cooldown bars, there's 0 indicator whether you can use their abilities and you just have to try to know. I'm assuming it would be relatively simple to implement for you, and it would massively improve the QoL of these items. There's probably a couple more things that could use the cooldown bar treatment but these are the ones off the top of my head that I know of.

maybe its something that cant be implemented since most guns operate on reserves being clipx2 but i wondered if there was a way to make special accommodations for a gun like Scattershot that has 6 shots total 2 in clip 4 in reserve

Maybe other guns could get modernized like this but i personally dont use or know of the others that could get this treament
