I've seen So many people trying to fix hive pack, but it just... doesn't have a point. After all, if you stripe all of the fancy stuff out, it's just a plain non-percentage damage boost that relies on your fire rate, which also gets less and less useful the further you gets in the game, only works well on weapons like minishark, and not even megashark, and for weapons like these, there is a high chance that armor pen might do even better. In my opinion, expert items need to be unique and at best, situational and useful in situated places, which applys to most of them. Ever heard of something called "bee enchantment"? It is an accessory added by Fargo's Soul Mod. It spawns bees that only hit once (so no iFrame) with a high chance of about 25%, while each deals 100% of the non-crit damage of the hit spawned it, but can only spawn upon piercing hits. It makes early powerful support for piercing weapons, which is both unique, situational, and useful if you used it right. Of course, there is a 100% chance it is overpowered in 1.4 (cough cough, buffed razorblade typhoon/nightglow), but you know, you can always nerf it as needed.
