[PARACYST. It needs to be updated!]

So why should we charge an alternative fire of Paracyst if it does not give anything? Charging does not increase the speed of the projectile and does not give a bonus to damage. Charging is useless for Paracyst!

Yeah, you are right that the Paracyst harpoon does not give increased projectile speed or damage in comparison to its regular shots. There could be a buff in that area for sure. But compared with the Harpak’s instant shot, the Paracyst harpoon pulls enemies much farther, which is what I was trying to compare. 

Originally if you recall Paracyst and Harpak had the same alt-fire type which was a charged harpoon similar to current Paracyst. Then DE changed the Harpak to fire its harpoon instantly at the cost of its pull strength in Update 20.0. The Paracyst was also buffed in the same update, but they kept the charge harpoon mechanic and instead gave its alt-fire increased range over Harpak’s. This served to differentiate them from each other mechanically as Paracyst’s harpoon shoots farther and pulls enemies harder then Harpak’s at the cost of needing to charge.

So basically my point is that I prefer the Harpak and the Paracyst to have different harpoon mechanics, otherwise they will basically be the same gun except one is crit-focused while the other is status-focused. Not an ideal situation in my mind.

This "cool" animation can cost you a lost HP. At high levels, losing seconds, you can die...

I suppose you have a point, but then there are plenty of animations and ect in warframe that can make you “lose seconds” and get killed. Removing all of those would make Warframe a boring game with instant reload and ability cast spam. 😛

Then again I feel that I mis-interpreted your original post, and that your primary issue was with having to hold alt-fire to charge which I agree is annoying. What if the charge worked like the Pencha amp scaffold? It would still have charge time but you only have to click once to activate it and then it would charge and fire automatically?

I think peterc3 means that although Stalker looks like an Excalibur, his warframe is technically different since it doesn’t have the same abilities.

Talk about misleading titles. That’s more then just a “wee bit” of changes, bordering on rework territory. I’ll just say that while I appreciate your reasoning and zeal, Harrow for me was always a “combat priest” rather then a “sniper” so I don’t feel an exalted sniper would be fitting thematically. 

[PARACYST. It needs to be updated!]

Personally I prefer the way it is now. The charge has a cool animation to it and I like how it performs differently from the Harpak. Previously both were projectile-based triple burst weapons with chargeable harpoon alt-fires, but now Harpak’s harpoon comes out without charging at the cost of pull strength.
