Spear Melee Powerset

Is there anyone else interested in seeing a melee power set that used a 1handed or 2handed spear/lance type weapon, that could even be a bow-staff if designed right. I'm surprised with all the different melee weapon sets out there that this hasn't been done yet.

I've always seen spears thrown. I wouldn't wanna slap people with a long spear. Maybe a blaster set?

Popular suggestion, though just as popularly countered with 'For the love of all that is holy, can we get something besides a smashing/lethal set for melee?'.

There's plenty of variations on the theme in the Powers sticky in the Suggestion's forum.

I'd prefer something more superhero-ee and less sword-and-sorcery-ee, if you know what I mean.

...besides, spears are lame, if you must go medieval on their [censored], use a halberd.

For melee sets, Psi blade came in 2nd on the poll after dual blades if I remember right. It is for sure the one I voted for. Still hoping it is next anyway.

I'd perfer two powersets in this vein a smashing bo staff style set and your lethal pole ax style set ( both with various alternate pieces of similar weapons to choose from at tailor ).

Also some new non s/l sets would be nice as well.

I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

Honestly, I feel like melee powersets have gotten enough attention lately. I'd really like to see more attention paid to ranged and control sets, as well as APPs for scrappers, and maybe some new assault and manipulation sets. And of course mastermind sets. It looks like we'll be getting the mastermind and ranged sets in going rogue, but that still leaves a lot of territory before melee needs any new sets. Besides, there's still quite a bit of proliferation to do for melee too before they start on new sets altogether.

I agree with this.
I'd like to see elementalized Scrapper APPs (Earth, Ice, Fire, etc).
And for the love of all things good can we get Electricity Control?

I'd prefer a Staff, because there is quite a precedent for superheroes using a staff or even dual bo sticks. However, depending on the customization options available for the staff, it might be tipped with a blade, as a spear, or an axe head, as a halberd.

This could even answer the "not another smashing set" complaints, as one or two specific attacks could use the tip as a Lethal attack. Even for a staff with no blade, the tip could be steel-shod, or it could just be the force of the staff concentrated at the point of impact that makes it lethal.

Honestly, considering that Nightwing and even Robin are known for using a staff, it's rather limiting that it's not available in this game. (I've got at least one concept that is supposed to be using a staff, and I know at least one other player whose concept is a staff as well. I happen to think a staff is more of a superhero weapon than a sword is...)
