I thought the short circuit already did like 2 damage per hit...

This should help ease some of the Short Circuit pain.

When they say updated the short circuit do you mean they made it less stupid?

Still can be abused a bit but wrangler/pistol is probably a solid alternative now or vice versa

Still pretty broken imo

I mean 4 rockets still only "cost" you 60 metal. If you're standing near a dispenser it doesn't really make a difference.

It's a decent fix, the extra metal against projectiles should help with some of the problems, but the firing rate is the real problem IMO

Not sure if this is true, but according to this post on SPUF, the Short Circuit now only uses up metal when it destroys a projectile: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3216739

That's what it means "per projectile destroyed"

As Twilit said, the firing rate is the real problem. 8 stickies only "cost" 120 metal, mean you can put down a minisentry and still negate a large portion of a demo's damage.

The cost was never an issue before. You could stop 4 rockets for under 100 metal already. The problem is still that you can just hold down left click down, instead of actually timing it because of its excessive firing speed.
