Okay. At first, I was going to laugh at you because Golden Bolt is genuinely one of the better projectiles in the game. When you made a comparison to Silver Javelin I laughed.
Then I went in-game and checked. Who in the ever-living fuck thought Silver Javelin should be 12 cd? It used to be 20 why was it lowered, isn't metal strong enough already? Holy fuck.
Aside from what I HOPE was an oversight, there's really one projectile that's consistently better than Golden Bolt. It's Fireball. For some reason, the burn/slow chance is guaranteed, and the four fire ticks add up to about three spell damage. Overall, the spell is 10 spell damage with a 3s slow on a 10s CD. Which is insanely good, better than it should be. It's one drawback is that it has 2 less range than bolt and javelin, but for the sheer damage output it's more than worth it.
Those two are ridiculously out of line from all the other projectiles. As much as I like all three of these trees, (I'm sand fire rn and a known metal fanatic), fire and metal's should really, really get nerfed and sand's deserves no change.
Golden Bolt does what it's meant to do. It has the one of the better damage/cd ratio out of the other projectiles with the drawback of having no added bonus. It has one of the highest range which is strong with these types of spells.
It may have the similar dps as Galeburst or Rock Bomb or Ice Spike without extra utility, but it has a unique job and does it well. It shoots far, hits hard and fucks bitches.
Poison Dart and Scarlet Dart ticks have both been lowered to 0.5. They do less damage but have added effects with their respective trees.
I think it's absolutely fine as it is, but IF there was going to be a change to Golden Bolt, it'd have to be a very, very minor cd decrease.
