Attack chains between victims
+Alt Fire: Short Circuit Blast
-50% Afterburn damage
-75% Spread
The French Tickler fires a highly concentrated stream of particles which chain between opponents. Basically, when an opponent is struck with the beam, he takes X amount of damage, and the beam attaches to the next nearest opponent (within ~100HU), dealing X/n damage, and the next nearest opponent (ditto), dealing X/(n/2) damage. The weapon also ignites the principle target, but not any chained targets. Medics, cloaked spies, and disguised spies are protected from the chaining effect.
The alt-fire short circuit blast is just one idea, but I feel as though there should be more going on there. Possible projectiles destroyed by the SCB fill a bar that causes minicrits on chain attacks? Or on flaming targets? Something interesting without being too complicated, but also useful without hinging entirely on luck.
The French Tickler also appears differently in Pyrovision: rather than a hand-crafted stun rod, it looks like a long feather duster.
