Pirate Hook

Alright, made a pretty kick [censored] looking Captain Hooke on Freedom and took a sword .. but get this. The devs never thought someone would do that otherwise they would have put the sword in the RIGHT hand, not the hook. There's no way to move the hook to the right hand so the sword shows up in your human hand and there's no way to move the sword to your right hand so it looks good. Nope .. only thing is to walk around with a sword balanced in your hook. Nice.

Someone a while back had a great concept for a pirate aaarcher, with equal hook hilarity.

My main, an arch/em blaster, holds the Rularuu bow in his magical pirate hook. It's silly, but cool.


Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

Use Dual Blades, it works that way.

It's particularly good with claws.

Why wouldn't they just use the hook as the weapon in those cases, doesn't Capt Hook use his in that manner?

That's broadsword. Try katana. Shields are used in left hand. The hook is on the left hand. Think about it. Broadswords are in the right hand and work with shields. Katanas don't because...

...

...left hand!

Yeah, so what's stopping the OP from using broadsword? He's supposed to be a pirate with a sword, if he wants to be believable, he'll grab BS.

That was the point of the link and link-quote.

Maybe he's a ninja pirate, a pirate ninja or an immortal Egyptian pirate who was raised in Spain and speaks with a Scots accent. You never know.

I have an AR/Pain Corr with a hook. When he goes to fire his rifle, he uses his hook to cradle the rifle's barrel to steady it, it looks kinda cool. I've been wanting to make a bow toon to see what that looks like.

I had one with claws once, back before we could choose what they look like, and they just sort of appeared out of the air right next to the hook.

Also The OP said the the hook was in the right hand.

As you can see in the link the Hook is on the left had not the right. Yes if you are Kat which using both hands it will look funny.
