While there are [i]many, many outliers[/i] with weapons in Crucible -- one stands out to me the most: [b]Witherhoard[/b]. It's been in the game longer than I've been back to D2, but I cannot understand why this weapon's damage output can dish out raid mechanic dps on Guardians.
While I understand zone denial is its shtick, does mere clipping it need to (or close to it) spell the end of your life? Surely something can be tweaked here.
Options:
-Reduce the radius
-Lower the overall dps
-Lower the duration
These are just some quick examples. While I'll never understand the mindset of a Witherhoard player, the [i]'shoot and forget'[/i] playstyle to rack up kills is far too punishing for those getting merely clipped in it.
Looking for outside opinions on this, but not really interested in the "not top ten" / "don't see it in Trials" / etc. These are not always indicators of something that's over-tuned.
