Stalker Weapon [Buff's for Dread - Hate - Despair]

[(PSN)Tomplexthis]

I was just thinking about Ye' olde' Stalker weapons and how they kind of fall flat today...

So many fantastic weapons in Warframe that completely outclass our old menace of a friend

The old days when we would strive to get our hands on despair, hate, dread.

Replaced with stuff like Lenz. BOOM, Sonicor BOOM, and Zenistar. yup, additionaly Ostron melee's outclass a ton of weapons

Not much here but an idea of 1, raising the stats a bit, and 2, adding a special ability to each weapon

just some TLC, perks and buffs to his old classics, also... what can we do with these 300 dread blueprints we all have? [Any ideas on that}...

another ability? 

Dread hits an enemy, and emits a Dread status pulse, this will not alert enemies.

enemies within 6m of the target, are inflicted with Dread a Duo status that lasts 6 seconds

Their movements are slowed by 40% and they cannot be alerted if they see or hear something. [basically blinds them]

This only applies to an enemy dread doesn't kill

if an enemy is already alerted they stay alerted, but if not, they get blinded as well

So if dread kills the enemy, the status doesn't apply, but if it does not, it applies

This means hitting a target and not killing them with the arrows, will not alert them to the damage they took

and dreads all nearby enemies as well

I only really thought up 3 things, boosted speed, crit and a new ground slam power.

     *New Hate*

Ability: Ground slam attack shock-waves generate a hate status in enemies within a 12m radius, causing them to fight each-other for 8 seconds

Enemies will use melee only to fight each other and will not use their guns

dreads healing works with the health cost to using despair

and hate would be fun to mess with enemies

fear them and make them fight eachother...

hate dread despair

 

Could be interesting if dread had its own status as well, but you tend to kill most enemies with it so a radial status on death?

Hate makes them fight eachother 

Despair makes them flee in terror

[(PSN)Tomplexthis]

when i think DREAD, i think sloggish sad and slow

So what if Dread caused a slowing effect on enemies it didnt kill?

and it pulsed to others nearby like a virus?

Somewhat like Equinox's calm and frenzy augment

If you really think this then you're modding Dread wrong.

[-.SP.-G43riel]

1st - you dont need to keep answering / posting to your own thread just edit your first post

2nd - Your comparisions make no sense, Lenz? Zenistar?

3rd - Dread and Despair still are great weapons, you're probably just modding them wrong
If anything only Hate actually needed some working review, but not the one you're suggesting here

The word dread. Not the weapon

The weapon is amazing

Just outclassed by new bows

I really just think itd be cool to give them New abilities

Notice me senpai?

[(PSN)chris1pat8twins]

I can kind of see Stalker returning with the other 2/3rd of the War that he has merged into his other weapons to create a more powerful Dread, Despair, and Hate. Combining the sentient energy with his weapons. Maybe calling them Anguish Despair, Raging Hate, Horrible Dread. Don’t know. Maybe I’m taking the names a little too literal but... either way, Stalker is no longer a challenge and his weapons are nearly forgotten. 

“The Tenno have gotten stronger. They have allied themselves with Umbra. In order to defeat them, I too, must become stronger... must become... terror... incarnate” - Stalker. 

“I’m back Tenno” - Stalker

“I thought he was dead!!!” - Tenno

”oh no! You must... KILL HIM... run away operator” - Ordis

Hell those passives alone would make me wanna use them more, but a buff to stats is indeed needed a bit at least for Despair and Hate, Dread is still pretty good.

[Almighty_Jado]

Considering the MR of Dread, it doesn't need a buff at all.

Minor damage boost with new abilities though. I like secondary perks built into weapons. Theres a ton

This only applies to an enemy dread doesn't kill

if an enemy is already alerted they stay alerted, but if not, they get blinded as well

So if dread kills the enemy, the status doesn't apply, but if it does not, it applies

This means hitting a target and not killing them with the arrows, will not alert them to the damage they took

and dreads all nearby enemies as well
