Buff Magic Missile

[What is the actual item/mechanic/thing being targeted?]
Magic Missile

[What would you like specifically changed about it?]
Buff its damage by 5-10

[Why do you feel that this change is needed?]
Magic missile is currently outclassed by its melee counterparts (Phammer, phatchet), buffing its damage by a small amount will allow it to compete with the aforementioned weapons without it becoming oppressive.

[Anything else you would like to note]
Flamelash and maybe rainbow rod probably need buffs as well so they aren’t overshadowed by mm.

Nah rainbow rod and magic missile already do very annoying amounts of damage, not to mention the vanilla autofire buff that they received not too long ago…

If it weren’t for the autofire buff I might have voted but that plus their current damage is why I am opposing this buff

I would agree (Despite the buff from 1.4.4, today’s variant deals no damage!)

You could make a case that rainbow rod is strong, but magic missile is weaker than rainbow rod, heat ray or stellar tune in any situation you might use it in, as its dps is generally too low to use effectively.
