Purple Friendly Express Shot

Cost: 3200 Souls.

It's kinda similar to Mystic Shot, and it could actually be an upgrade. Also, I couldn't decide on the damage amount and I don't know if it's to weak or too powerful. Let me know what you think.

Did you meant 3 shots instead of 3 bullets?

Yes. I think 'shots' makes more sense.

I'd rather have it convert weapon damage to spirit damage than deal flat spirit damage. It would only scale with gun, but it would still proc spirit items. This is too similar to Mystic Shot and would be nerfed into the ground (high damage output and debuff procs every 3s).

I could see the regular Express Shot converting the final damage to Spirit Damage (like Paradox Carbine) since pure gun builders have so little reason to take it. It would have a use for debuffing or getting exposure/spirit burn procs without being a damage monster on every character.

Interesting idea. The item would make the gun more useful in spirit builds.

I don't know, how good would be damage conversion. Maybe it should be solved in practice. The item have similarity with Mystic Shot, but it's superior to it. At least in the cooldown part.

I think it won't change much. Express Shot is useful for powerful, but slow shots like shotgun ones. Even if damage type will be converted to spirit, the users of item would remain the same. Trying to apply EE stacks or Spirit Burn would require many shots (with Express Shot is bad idea) and big Weapon Damage respectively.
Author's current item is better in doing these things, cause it charges more than one shot and its damage can be scaled with Spirit Power.

Dealing 150-200 spirit dmg from weapon would reduce the spirit burn requirement to 300-350 ability damage. You're right that the author's item is better for EE and debuffs, though.

My concern was that the author's item would do too much, but since Tesla Bullets exists as another 3200 item it's probably fine.
