Crossbows skill Plasma Blast buff it speed to charge or change it.

Ok Plasma Blast damage is great in a single hit, but its charge speed is kinda way to long, its so long that you can use basic attacks to do more damage then it in the time it takes to fully charge an go off its roughly 25-30%.

Let alone the paired with slow walk well charging? its like a massive double negative for no real reason which can make such a cool skill be under used or not worth using, cause one the monster/boss rush you an can stop you from even using it at all if your solo that is.

Investing in attack speed an skill speed barely see any change since its very low to start with, it takes roughly 4 secs to charge, like this be fine if you could increase your view to long range snipe but 9 out 10 times

Like a slight speed increase to charging it would put it in line with other skills in terms of damage out put.

Also must the slow walk be forced? I feel like its way to much.

Its personally my favorite crossbow skill in terms of visuals out side of the nade combo for effects.

But its double native which makes it underperform an to much a pain to use most of the time when pretty much every thing else can do the same or better in 1.5-2x with in the same amount of time it takes to charge an with out being forced to slow walk an charge up.

What I suggest to make it more fun an smooth an worth it to use is one of these things.
-1 increase the base speed to charges by a bit, the current like what 0.28 is pretty insanely slowly.
-2 or make it auto charge or auto load when not in use.
-3 Buff the base speed a bit make reload speed also effect its charge speed which I think it should since its a form of reloading.

-4 make it have charge stages that add increase damage an area of effect for its beam width 10% each stage, 4 charge stages second for each an can be fired as long as it charged to the 1st stage, and could make the 1st stage 1100% then added 250% damage per stage to make it worth doing it, which will give it a slight buff at fully change over its current level 14 gem version which is is 1597% attack.
Which this will give it more rewarding game play for high end charge an still able to use the skill more often with out being you being a useless target well charging it you can opt out to fire it early so it not wasting your time when you need to move out of the way.

Thats my thoughts on it.
