The secondary staff weapon is way too powerful. It rips and kills monsters very fast. It's too powerful in comparison with the original primary mode, which made the hellstaff how we know: an average all-around never-ending weapon with the drawbacks of projectile guns. I think the secondary fire has to be balanced.

I already noticed that as well. How much ammo does it use anyway?

It uses up 5, but that's irrelevant, because the speed (thus firepower) is quite high anyway.

Maybe it needs to draw more ammo or fire slower?

both.

Or remove it altogether.

I wouldn't vote for removal, the secondary attack is quite useful

So has the secondary attack been changed now? Made weaker? Or made using more ammo?

Well, if no-one cares, this can also be marked as fixed, not?

Well, the secondary attack IS more powerful than the primary, but it only works against ground monsters, and Heretic has many flying ones on whom this attack is ineffective.
