Hello everyone!
This suggestion is short but I think will help give the Tortofists some more utility. Instead of Tortofists spawning crystals in a random cluster on charge attack, have the crystals always spawn arranged in a circle. This will create a cage that traps enemies inside the cage until the crystals expire. The cage could be roughly the same radius of the 5* Vortex bombs.
Benefits: improved crowd control
Drawbacks: similar to the utility of Vortex bombs, though not exactly the same since enemies outside the cage cannot enter the cage as they could enter the Vortex bomb radius.
I vendored all my tortoguns years ago because they are so useless.
There was a time when they were useful, but that was with the so called "flash charge", which made the charge fire twice. It got patched. Using tortoguns make you look like a fool now.
I would make new ones, if they became good again. This would be a way.
