Make needler special ability a passive effect or buff critical damadge bonus

Considering how most unique weapons have a particular strong point I feel like the needler should make the ability passive so that you can use it soley for special bolts.

I haven't gotten it yet (have to go all the way to Matteo) but how strong is its piercing shot right now?
It should get all the "special attack" bonuses from everything, and also apply Concussive Shots to everything it passes through, and also critically hit now and then?
If all of those apply then it should be pretty good already, and a good buff to "normal bolts".
But I really need to find it and see for myself.

I think the only real draw might be that is abiliy is not an unconditional special attack (as far as I can tell)

If it has a cooldown then it gets special attack bonuses, if it doesn't then you can use it multiple times per turn.
Either way it should be fairly strong.
