I was thinking that Touch of Malice is really outshines by other exotics in many ways and was thinking how it could be made viable. The thought that came into my head was remove the damage over time from the special projectile or reduce it and change the catalyst to be Kinetic Tremors and Precision instrument playing into what scoutrifles are used for. Plus since the rapid Hit perk doesn't do much for the weapon and is pretty useless with how the weapon is supposed to be used. Just a thought I had of how it might be able to give outbreak perfected some competition and actually make it worth farming. It can still blind with the projectile though so basically the special projectile becomes useful for utility than being used to boost damage and since blind makes enemies not attack much it makes it worth it since it allows follow up precision hits to be easier to do.

I shot it once and deleted it... it felt better D1 but its unimpressive in D2.
