vision of heresy lunar item is whack
I cant see a single reason to use this lunar item besides on melee characters but it ruins the fun for them, like why play a melee character if youre just going to swap it for a ranged M1 and then melee abilities. Dont get me wrong its a decent item but I picked it up to find out what it does on an acrid run and now im just praying to find a cleansing shrine because its so boring

engineer turret synergizes really well with it, no reload time and real fast attack speed. Combo it with on hit proc items and they just drop dead.

I didnt really think about engineer, thats not a bad idea. I might have to try that at some point

It's terrible on engi, the turrets still have to reload. I just used it. It goes really well with artificer though.

The item feels really good on Artificer as her left mouse isn't really that great.

The more i play with it the more it feels like a Needler from halo - It's good on engi cause it stacks faster to explode, but other than that, the reload sucks.

I may end up using it for acrid when I do my monsoon run tomorrow. Since all i hear about acrid in monsoon is apply poison and run since you have 0 survivability

it's better than acrid's normal attack for sure in monsoon.

Would rather have this in longer games than a melee M1 that's too risky to use. Not worth using early on, but later it's great just for item procs.

Get some stacks of it too, more ammo. It can become devastating.

Try it on loader and get back to me.

I used it on Acrid.
This one Item got me Mastery for Acrid. If I hadn't taken it I probably would've died by Stage 3.
Acrid's fun and all but holy hell, he's probably the worst of the 3 melee characters.

I agree but it just makes the run sooo boring. When i accidentally got it on stage 9ish last night, i literally just obliterated cause it ruined my run and i wanted to see the secret area more than be bored for another 20 minutes. Dont get me wrong its really nice to be able to deal with worms, wisps, and any other flying units with ease but that's why i enjoy playing melee characters. it introduces some extra challenge and not just hold M1 until procs kill everything. granted thats basically what you still end up doing with acrid currently since procs rule this game

I grabbed 2 of these in a lunar shop to get 24 shots, on Acrid that meant procing tri-tip blade to max tier every time I shot at enemies, paired with strong poison on big enemies and everything died instantly.

I wish stacking it didn't increase the reload time.

Also, I may be wrong, but cooldown-reducing items like Bandoiler and Alien Head don't seem to reduce/reload the cooldown. Some confirmation/debunking on that would be appreciated. If I'm right though then that should seriously be amended.

If you're right im kind of curious if theyre trying to prepare us for a character like the sniper who does have to reload and probably wont be affected by stuff like those items
