RIP wands of scattershot

[petercordia]

apparently these have been removed

Wands of scattershot were honestly my favourite wand. Great for emergencies, and enormous DPS in the end game (I remember using one to take out Lom Bobon, when my holy axe didn't do the job well enough). Whereas other wands are best used to start fights, scattershot was very good at the end of a fight, and great for getting out or trouble. Which made it good for me.

Rest In Peace

The new evokable item Tin of tremorstones seems to be similar at least flavor wise.

It's no good at killing an enemy which adjacent to me though, is it?

[Majang]

It's good for that too, if said enemy is low on AC or you are high on evocations.

We've lost the hilarious mental imagery of a Wand of Shotgun, though, which I'm quite disappointed about.

Well, now you have the holy handgrenade.

I thought there's still self-damage with the tremorstones? My characters who benefited most from scattershot relied to a large extend on SH, which leaves them unprotected from tremorstone self-damage.
