Before I take you deeper into the whole Bloodshot knowledge, I'd like to take care of some questions that might pop out right away.Bloodshot Staff (in other name as All-Seeing Staff) is a weapon usable by Apprentice/Adept, Jester or Series EV. It is a Core drop or a Boss reward obtainable from Moraggo Desert Town playing as Apprentice/Adept.There are two major key things that differ this staff from every other. One is that its elemental (poison) damage actually scales with Hero damage beside commonly used staff like Classic's Eagle. The second is its unigue projectile spread pattern that allows higher damage result on a longer distances (will be shown below).It's set in the game code that it scales with Hero damage together with base damage, but when upgrading, elemental damage provides higher amount of damage per upgrade (will be shown below). So in the end the higher DPS result comes from fully upgraded elemental damage than base damage. The only negative of this is when attacking poison immune enemies, unless you're attacking them in Strength Drain Aura.Definitely! Not only it looks cool on your Jester or Mage, it is also known as the best DPS staff in the game (according toguide) that can easily beat Classic's Eagle or even Blaster Rifle on a Jester hero.Yes. Since it is a map specific weapon, it can spawn with higher stats than other common core drops. With some luck, you can end up with usable cool-looking tower weapon. Although it's usually not as good as for example Obsidian Clava from Akatiti Jungle.
