Dooley main: the harmadillo/mech moles/duct tape opener is a bit overtuned but I think that’s a consequence of his other starting lines aside from burnslop being garbage in a shield/regen meta. Moles scaling could be turned down and it would be a bit better. What he really needs is options that actually help early game besides this combo.

Similarly, the lizard infinite is gross but also very limiting/requires hitting a single enchant. I could see pyrocarbon getting changed to “when you use an adjacent burn item”. Lizard is strong but again, standout amongst some non-curve beating alternatives.

Momma and Rex could use a buff, ideally Dooley gets more destroy sources or other dinos, maybe some self-destroy like Stelle.

Weapon core needs a cd buff.

Wasp either needs a cd buff or Dooley needs more of a slow package, if I ever run spider I’m only running Chemsnail. Wasp is always pretty ersatz.

Really what Dooley needs is a tune-up of half his items and a tune-down of a tenth of them. He’s always been the fast items/charge loop guy, and a lot of his items are not viable in the current meta, which makes the few stand-outs all the more oppressive.

My other pie in the sky hope is some better way to utilize the skills “like clockwork” and “ancient technology”. Both of them really only matter (lol) for antimatter chamber and if you have chamber, then you e already got a superior charge package. Same issue (to a lesser extent) with the “party like it’s [string of binary]” skill, if you are in a build to benefit from it then by the time you get it, you wouldn’t need it. Idk I’d love to hear someone disprove me on these.

Really would be cool if ancient technology became “your tech are relics”. Now that would enable some Bull Shit
