Alright

[Fishyflakes]

So they didn't release Revenant's melee with him because Melee 3.0
Chroma Prime is coming in the next few weeks
We know he got Gram Prime
Melee 3.0 coming in next 3 weeks, change my mind 😍

Why should I change your mind

change my mind

Well in a tweet with one of the devs, a question was asked whether the melee rework was closer to 3 weeks, or 3 months in terms of being ready. The response was closer to 3 weeks, so not entirely out of the question.

Why the spoiler tag? It's just being logical with the present facts that is public knowledge ...

No because the giant katana is a new weapon type. Gram prime is a heavy blade, so it can be implemented into the game pre melee 3.0.

What the hell is melee 3.0 and should I be aroused?

Completely melee overhaul that could completely improve or completely nerf every melee in the game.

At the very worst it will be a sidegrade since base damage and range are getting massive boosts.

I hope they do the same with Exalted Weapons damage or Players would ignore them because mods like Blood Rush or Maiming Strike can’t be used into them and those mods are what makes Melee Weapon like the Atterax amazing.

I imagine Exalted weapons will be tweaked, but not nearly to the same extremes as normal weapons. As it stands, with say exalted blade itself, you don't even need the combo meter to absolutely destroy most enemies even past sortie level with the waves. Tripling the damage output of that would be heavily overpowered.

Came to this conclusion myself. If so, I'll be happy for it. Melee has been feeling more than a little stale of late.

It would be until you reach a area where the enemies have 98 - 99% DR.

Corrosive damage and shattering impact would be more than enough to null that. And at that point its survivability that is more in question. Also most corpus and infested don't have armor so that DR as a reasoning is null.

Wait, what? Chroma Prime is coming with Gram Prime? 

That is grade A irony and comedy because the dragon Fafnir was killed by Sigurd wielding Gram.

Chroma is a dragonslayer wearing a "sentient dragon pelt" 😋

While 3.0 probably is coming soon Gram Prime being released soon isn't any indication of it.

DE needs some prime weapons to release with a new prime frame so why make something new when they've already announced and worked on/made the Gram Prime.

Also Gram Prime is just a new skin and stats for an existing weapon while Revenant's is an entirely new melee type.

Spoiler

Also Revenant's sword is already "in-game", in the last phase of the quest where you fight his apparition he actually swings it at you if you get within his melee range.
