When you eat a Volt Goat Jelly, existing Electrical Weaponry do not gain any additional damage bonuses (damage bonus for being an electrical weapon + the electrical damage boost when stuff is wet). This behavior is intentional, as per Vito in my bug report here. What that also means is that the Morning Star is outclassed by the common Spear :'(
Spears do 85 damage with the Jelly, while Morning Stars only do 72.25. That just ain't right.
Here is a demonstration of the damage outputs between the two weaponry with just a Volt Goat Jelly (no additional modifiers).
Spear Damage:
Morning Star Damage:
I like the Jelly and what it does, just not the fact that it makes Morning Stars and Electric Darts worthless now.
The Jelly lasts for 8 minutes while Morning Stars only have a durability of 6 minutes, with both costing a single Goat Horn. The biggest hindrance to Darts were always Reeds. The choice between choosing to farm Electric Darts versus Normal Darts is a very clear one now: regular Darts are just superior.
On behalf of all electrical weaponry enthusiasts, can something be done to deal with this damage disparity that the previously existing Electrical weapons now face due to the Jelly?
