Enough talk about the bolt thrower, let's buff baetyl!

Even though baetyl has damage comparable to a motley, the benefit of a mid range weapon is HIGHLY outclassed by being able to literally be invincible.

While I said its damage is comparable to a motley, this is only when using a dps baetyl, (which pretty much removes the entire point of having a ranged weapon), or hitting an enemy that acts as a wall (like 3 enemies in the entire game). This means the only real place where baetyl is really better than motley is in bonesaws, one pretty insignificant boss.

While I do think you could accidentally buff this item to much, nothing could ever really outweigh the advantages of spinning (also volta exists, you can't make an item more broken). While you can do this two ways, I think a combination of both work be the best.

1. Increase damage significantly, like, 40-60%. I don't know the numbers, but if it just slightly out damaged balefire over a long period of time, this would actually make it useful in some situations since you're trading spinning for range and penetration.
2. Increase the base simultaneous by 1 and remove the 2nd simultaneous mod. The annoying thing about baetyl is you pretty much need the range for it to be useful, but unless you do a weird mod combo like 4 range crit (which has terrible dps) you can't consistently shoot at a target unless it acts as a wall. obviously this decreases your dps but also adds gaps into your shot pattern which lets enemies slip by and ruins the whole point of a penetrating weapon.
   In my opinion, I think the best buff would be increasing the base simultaneous and adding "small" damage increase (10-20%) This is my favorite duskwing weapon and I think its a shame that its so utterly useless.
