This item would have 62.4 base dps (yall forgot about critical strike chance)
The Undertaker (which has great range, is also available pre-boss, and isn’t particularly known for its dps anyway) has 81.12 dps when used with musket balls.
Mace has 56.16 dps if used with the dropped form which has the highest dps out of its three attacks. In addition the Mace has yknow, range, and upgrading it to the Flaming Mace (which is basically free) adds a fire debuff to that which increases it to 60.16.
And then of course we have Grenades with better range and knockback, which have 83.2 base dps.
Not gonna lie, I’m not convinced this weapon would be overpowered as a gold chest item at all. It’s absolutely fine in gold chests.
If anything this thing would be good at keeping enemies away from you with knockback more than it would be good at killing things.
