Claws for Brutes


Blue Rabbit

 

Posted

Looking at the current Primaries for brutes I feel a really fast style of combat is lacking...

So claws please.


 

Posted

Yes!

Possibly replacing the slightly too acrobatic Eviscerate animation with the Barb Swipe animation from Spines.

I would like this


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

it all depends on where you look at, RP side or just game play side.
in RP side, claws would break the minute it's blocked, but game play wise it's no problem.
i would like to see some skills corrected in dark melee for brutes, so they to can attack fast.

Since nearly all powers are going to be proliferated, it will happen eventually.

But it will be on the "needs careful looking at" list, as the high speed may make fury build to quickly. That will push it back in the schedual.


I really should do something about this signature.

More Proliferation!

More proliferation is good.

Claws on a brute could/would play totally different to claws on scrapper and stalker, like they play differently form one another.

So yey for using the same stuff differently! versitility for the win!

Power Proliferation renders this sort of suggestion useless. Of course they will try to port across the majority of sets and I can see no reason why claws wouldn't be proliferated

I think that after Shields are introduced plus all the weapon set proliferation that will accompany it, Claws will be the next on the list to go to brutes.

The Devs have been looking at changing animation times for Claws and have said that Widow Claws is testing out some of the things they had in mind for it, but that Claws are already pretty good and they don't want to overpower the set. They might wait until after a Claws revamp to give them to brutes.

Are claws much quicker than Duel blades? they don't seem to be if anything them seem marginally slower

Quicker imo. It just looks slower. Although my opinions maybe based on old numbers XD


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Oooh claws and shields! Should look good.

I think they'd be tweaking all sets over time for balance and so anything is possible.

Doubt it'll happen, since DB won't get shields I don't think another twin weapon set will.

Yeah, my feeling is that Claws and Spines will be on the greyed out list along with DB and Katana.

You know I didn't mean it that way I very much doubt Claws will be useable with the Shields powerset.

I just think that, for tanker/brute/scrapper anyway, the I13 proliferations will mainly be sets that will be able to be used with Shields and that will fit thematically - so don't expect Claws for brutes until I14 at the earliest.

Booooo would much rather see somthing intresting for brutes in the next batch of proliferation we allready got Axe and Mace.


 

Posted

And now we'll have sword, what's the problem?


 

Posted

Since we're all talking about weapons. I'd like to see a more advanced 'customisation' to weapons other than just a primary and an alt colour.

Heck, we could give them a design? A glow? Change size perhaps? These are just ideas, I'm just jotting things from my head right now.

But I'd like to do something other than the usual "hmm...should I get a red bow...or a blue bow..hmm"

Weapon customisation hasn't been that long, give it a while and they might expand on it. Also we don't just have primary/secondary colour, we've also got all the different models to choose from.
