The Bo/Escrima Sticks/Nunchuku I wouldn't mind.
They have been suggested to death though, so you will probably catch some flak for suggesting them again.
The Power Sword idea is already possible through IOs. Smashing, Lethal, and Negative are all possible to add to their attacks via IO procs. Which is probably the closest you're going to get to that idea. Also, Fire can be added to the PBAoE attacks after you hit level 50 and can slot purples.

Ohh woops. Didn't know it's old news. Oh well.
And very true about the power sword. Hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks.

Last thing Scrappers need is another Darn Smash'lethal set.
But Psychic Melee/blade? Or something with the debuff potential of /Rad? now they would be very nice.
And as a bonus it wouldn't requires a lot of new animation.
my fingers are crossed for going rogue,
I'd like to see a melee set with a -res secondary effect.
Not sure what the set would look like, but sonic melee could be interesting.
Though I can't help wanting to see a "Sonic Boom!"
I suggested it a few times and the naysayers have come in each time telling me that we don't need another weapons set or another smash set. Like I actually care about that...

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I dunno, when I think "scrapper" I think "someone who beats the snot out of things"
So, smashing/lethal sets are pretty appropriate for that.
We have: Smashing (Martial Arts, Dark Melee)
Lethal (Claws, Katana, Dual Blades, Broadsword, Spines)
Fire (duh, Fire)
Negative (Dark Melee)
The only things we are missing are Psi, Cold, and Energy. With the probable eventual proliferation of Energy Melee, Electric Melee, and possibly Ice that would cover everything but Psi damage.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing a Psi melee set, but I won't be too bent out of shape if we don't get it. Also, we only really have one smashing set since Dark Melee is mostly Negative, so a smashing damage weapon set wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

So long as I can do a Flash Kick in that set, then I'm happy.

It would be nice to round out the two missing turtle primaries.
I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a character with these sets. Bow Staff for a power. You could have good ST damage as well as AoE and Cones. Escrimas would be like Duel Blades just not slicing. Nunchakus would be hard with animation? Idk i dont program lol.
Also i think having new back costume sections like where you could put your sword on your back or your bo staff. Also for things from the belt (i.e. Katana) a belt option to show it shethed. I know it's possible because TSOO have two Katanas on thier backs.
I also have another idea about making a Power Sword. What i mean is a sword that you can buff. Like in general the sword does lethal damage. But you could have buffs like a build up in a sense that puts your sword on fire, freezes it, makes it energy/negative, toxin in the blade. These buffs would add a secondary effect to the sword. So you still have the basic swings amd slashes but the other elements are added.
What do you guys think of these ideas?
