Forget critting, I want double the spread radius and half the cooldown. I’ve been playing a companion / Rabies druid the last couple days as sort of a stupid build to mess around with since they upped the damage.
I’ve found that while I’ve been leveling it after a few +Rabies damage tempers, the initial bite is strong enough to kill a lot of things, which means sometimes the Rabies doesn’t even have a chance to spread because enemies aren’t immediately on top of the thing I just killed, leaving me to wander around while I wait for the pointlessly long cooldown to refresh so I can hope to try again.
Even once I started doing NMDs where the enemies didn’t die to the initial bite, I can have an entire screen worth of enemies and half of them don’t even end up getting infected, which I’m not sure if it’s because Rabies has some sort of cap to the number of enemies it can infect, or if it’s the incredibly poor spread radius working against me.
Making it a more reliable application in trash groups would be a huge step in the right direction.
