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...

What you are missing is this is an ADDITION to the perk and a lot of the times, ranged melees activate up close. You aren’t losing anything but you are gaining QOL with this change. When I’m on warlock, my incinerator snap still activates up close so now it can lead into a trench barrel dps.
