Sensum: The First Real Scythe In Warframe

[Aden]

Before I start I want to give you a very large hint at the inspiration for this weapon. Sensum is latin for "Sentiment". Curious to see who picks up on this. Also this is my attempt at putting the first real scythe into the game. Yes what we have now is nice but none of them really feel like a scythe imo, no they feel quite a bit more like slightly curved war picks or maybe an oddly shaped halberd with too short a shaft.

 

Sensum:

    Carved from one of the odd infested trees of the Orokin Derelicts, Sensum is a weapon of grace and cruelty. With a reach that rivaling that of the Orthos and a blade perfect for bleeding enemies dry the Sensum holds true the the savagery that is at the core of the infestation and the weapons born of it. Lacking the traditionally seen "direct injection" toxins typical of infested weaponry the metallic "wood" that composes the weapon gives off a perpetual fog that surrounds the user, granting a similar effect to that of the toxic ancients if to a lesser degree. However, the odd nature of the weapon requires a unique style of combat and the abnormally long and curved blade of the scythe poses a small risk of self inflicted bleeding.

 

Appearance:

      Come on, we all know what this is supposed to look like. If you still haven't guessed keep to the end and you'll get a hint that practically gives it away.

-Normal attacks:

  slash = 126

  puncture = 2

  impact = 2

  impact = 10

  slash = 60

  puncture = 5

  impact = 5

 

-Slam attacks:

  radius = 20

  damage = 10

 

-Miscellaneous Stats:

Max targets: 6

Cleave radius: .14 meters

Conclave rating: NA (I'll let you all decide that)

Polarities: None

 

Now for that hint (and it practically gives it away); this is a tribute to "Sentimental Nekros" by Yuikami. However this is still an actual proposal for a weapon so do try to be serious.

 

COMMENT! MAKE SUGGESTIONS! BE BRUTALLY HONEST!! and don't let that trigger happy lunchbox steal your kills, he has a habit of doing that (yes, I'm looking at you deathcube...)

My only question, why would it be mostly impact... i'd have thought a scythe would have been a mix of puncture and slash, with a little bit of impact.

My bad, need to stop making these last minute before bed. Thanks for catching that little error.

[Winged-Wolf]

this look like it would be fun with the new melee system, though honestly I'm just melee obsessed.

[DangerDaddy]

increase the damage IMO. 58 might seem like a lot, but the damage per second will be stupidly low. I'm sure in U13 it'll be a lot better balanced with more damage. Doubling it (in my opinion) wouldn't be a really high amount.

[Aden]

Yeah, I'll be waiting till U13 though. I want to see just how much more powerful the melee gets. As it is it's just a bit weaker than the orthos prime and if I remember correctly is a bit faster with longer reach. Need to check on that though.

A real scythe would be fun, especially with Nekros. Now all we need is Despair and Dread to complement the Grim Reaper look.
