I hope Goo Brush weapon gets buffed

[Sgt. YippyYap]

I like the concept of it
But the fact that it's so slow and you can't attack-cancel out of your attacks like with others weapons feels rough
It's a 3-hit combo weapon, but it's surprisingly slow. And the last attack in the combo also completely locks you in place for a second or so. You can't cancel out of it by dashing at all.

I don't know if that's intentional, because you can cancel out of your attacks withe very weapon. that's one of the reasons why this game feels so good and smooth and satisfying. The combat has such great flow where your reflexes matter
So being locked in place by a weapon is something completely opposite to everything else in this game and feels super rough. Especially if there are more enemies, even just two enemies make it painful.

So just because of that I don't think it's intended to be like that

But maybe it is? Because it's pretty alright when it comes to damage, and it also applies goo which makes enemies not able to move. They can still turn around and hit you tho.
If it is meant to be like that tho... Then there is no reason for you to run with it, because the game get impossible to play with it. I died on the first stage, didn't even get to the boss. Used all of my 3 flasks as well. It's a shame

So I hope it gets buffed. Either make it so you can animation cancel out of your attacks like with every other weapon in the game (You can even do it with a greatsword lol)
Or buff the goo effect so if the enemies are gooed, they wont be able to turn around either intstead of just not being able to move

It is kinda ironic that a weapon that applies a status effect that makes enemies unable to move, also makes you unable to move as well while you're attacking

It also gets resisted by bosses after a while so its not even that good vs bosses. The weapon is truly in the trenches right now. During a run it dropped with additional dmg to goo'd enemies + 80% increased crit dmg and everyone ignored and recycled it because the weapon feels just that terrible to play lol

So it's not just me, the goo brush is horrible lol

[the kid]

i agree with the normal but certain mods make it good. i got a +100% size goo and i was able to stay very far and still reap the benefits

Honestly my worst gripe with the goo brush isn't even its extremely slow attack speed.
I personally have 1/4th of all hits that visually connect not even do damage with this weapon, and stagger is kinda really important in this game.
In general it feels like slow melee weapons really need buffs in this game, right now I mostly use them for their really strong alternate attack after using a faster weapon to ramp up hits.
The combat is extremely fast, and getting 4 hits off on the heavy blade or even 3 on the brush feels extremely difficult to do while dashing every 0,5 second.
Brush also has the most lackluster alternate attack by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Am I correct in assuming this is a weapon that scales much better in multiplayer? I have just played solo up until now and that's the feeling I'm getting from the brush.

[Moturnach]

Its totally fine for me, except 3 things, a very wierd and narrow hitbox which shaped like an very narrow arc, goo debuff applied by brush itself is wildly inconsistent and rng based(Goo Blast or Goo Dodge gifts both are much more reliable sources of goo), and the fact that its final combo attack and alterattack both locks you in place. Other than that, its fine just because it have access to two pretty good synergies made around Goo, its Corrosive Goo and Goo Blast, which both works and because of that it deals crits reliably as well. Im fine with fact that goo hold on place doesnt work on bosses, but it still aplies goo status for mechanics to enable crits.

You also don't get protection while main handing. I get knocked out of the animations. The best use of the weapon is actually only for the Alterattack atm. It's stab does have total protection.
