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...

Helps with solar because remember when you're on solar you almost always have the "Radiant on melee ability" fragment meaning you get the 25% buff from radiant and the 50% from trench. It's also nice for Warlock stasis and Hunter stasis, Void Titan (overshield from throw and volatile if using aspect), and Arc Titan (Thunderclap)
