This was an idea that I came up with a couple of days ago, I'm sure there have been many suggestions to make the catalyzer line more effective but I've not seen one like this so I thought hey why not post it and see what people think.

So basically the idea is:

Swap around the bullet types; regular shots circle the enemy, the charge detonates them.
Change the gun to only have a 1 or 2 shot clip, with a similar reload to what it has now (IIRC same as alchemers).

This would allow us to keep what is taken while stacking charges - constant movement.
As it stands, charging an releasing a shot causes you to be immobile for a moment - which makes kiting enemies while shooting charges back a bit hazardous. Having the charges as a regular shot would allow you to keep backpedalling while stacking charges on your enemy.
Another aspect of this is the ability to constantly put out charges with more ease. Charging a weapon over and over as fast as a catalyzer really does get buggy with even the slightest amount of latency. having the charges as a regular shot would greatly improve the performance of this.

Of course as with any suggestion this is completely open to debate and I am keen to hear your opinions on this. Thanks for reading!
