Why?
I know the TIWD had more going on but this here caught my attention of a unless change.
What's the point of activating Trench Barrel from a distance when you'd still need to be up close for the shotgun to even be effective? Am I missing something here?
This is like giving Airborn Effectiveness on Whisper of the Worm all over again (Also I still have yet to see an airborne Whisper DPS person/group)
Just change Trench barrel back to how it was by just a timer (if I remember right).
Edit:
So from the comments its just a QoL update and the only thing that benefits is the solar melee (for radiant) and you'd still have to get close to use the shotty anyways...

They never stated that it’s current mechanics were changing, just that it can now be activated with ranged melee attacks. Which means that it’ll be a much more viable option now for melees like Throwing Hammer. Honestly this change should be implemented with One-Two Punch as well.
