Hi.
The aim of this suggestion is to bring into light one of the main issues with the Brain of Confusion, an expert accessory dropped by *drumrolls*... Brain of Cthulhu, of course.
I do sincerely apologize if someone has brought this suggestion before. I recently came back to Terraria and the last time I checked the forums was years ago. I did a little bit of research and found a few community members suggesting ways to improve numerous expert accessories, here's my shot at it.
I'm also very aware that the BoC issue was tackled by many Terrarians before. If your first thought after reading the title was "Oh god, again?", I owe you a cookie.
Currently, the way BoC works is:
"Upon taking damage with the Brain of Confusion equipped, it will appear to float into the air and nearby enemies become Confused (assuming they are not Immune) with a chance of 60%, increased by 0.4% per point of damage. "
Now... There's two problems with this effect.
First of all, most of the enemies you'll fight are immune to the "confused" debuff. Those who aren't are too weak to even stand a chance against you. You're going to kill them anyway, why should they bother walking the opposite way? Second, the chance to inflict "Confused" is 60% with a 0.4% increase per point of damage.
An easy solution to this, in my opinion, is to make BoC the offensive counterpart of the Worm Scarf:
Brain of Precision
Rainbow Rarity
Dropped by expert Brain of Cthulhu
Increases critical strike chance by 15%
"Your strikes are more lethal..."
2 Gold
That's it.
Feedback is appreciated. Criticism will be taken.
