Mod Suggestion: Melee Projection

[RawGritz]

Forgive me if this was suggested

 

Melee Projection works similar to melee channel.

 

Percentage of energy used is converted into an energy based projectile strike which travels for a short distance. Energy projectile emitted from blade on next melee strike (could be charge strike only or...) If next strike is a ground strike then energy wave is emitted in a circular radius amplifying base melee weapon AOE damage.

 

Energy wave does blade or physical damage (depends on weapons base damage type) and retains any mod amplifiers and elemental dmg+'s

 

This mod Scales and works well with melee channel. Distance scales with leveling up and Reach.

Slash Waves!...Excatly the thing I was hoping for when using Skana P's charged attack! DX<

I support!

I like the idea a lot. I think that this can even add different effects depending on certain weapons. As an example, I'll take throwing weapons like Glaive.

 

In a charge attack, instead of throwing another energy wave in front of the flying Glaive, it can develop energy blades around it to have a larger radius. However, I can see issues with that, such as doing Blade damage instead of Serrated Blade, or Ragdoll in the case of Kestrel.

I support the idea.

Well thought out, and interesting.

Interesting idea, I would like to see it in action.

Firstly... Thanks, Tenno!

 

I agree there could be various ways to represent this. Kestrel melee projection, doing physical dmg, makes perfect sense.

 

Some waves could travel along the ground...maybe for the heavy hammer weapons.  Others are sliver-thin crescent moons and such dealing serrated blade dmg. Obviously DE would do something stellar with the visuals that I can't think of...

was your inspiration from the Bloodskal Blade in TES?

No actually it was Armored Core. Older game. The melee was a simple slash but you could buy different blades with the ability to project an energy wave in front of you that dealt massive dmg.

Sounds like a great idea to me :D

Sword Beams sound awesome. 

 

But wait... can we handle the BleachxWarframe crossover fanfics?

Thanks!

 

But the concept pre-dates Bleach by a good long while. Look up Ninja Scroll, Storm Riders, Saint Legend, Chinese Hero/Blood Sword.

On Charge Attack only would keep the charge from being dispersed accidentally from going into melee quickly when moving into melee range. It would be a nice addition, I think.

I thought of AC but I was almost certain this was going to be from a different game...(older than Armored Core, haha)

 

Anyway, cool idea. I dunno if it'd fit how the rest of most mods work, but if we can have "Heavy Impact" then we can have this, imo.

I agree, totally.

[Erusa]

Scarves and this...the only thing left is a beam sword and a spinning air attack........ o3o

[theammostore]

I support this.

[konfetarius]

This is basically what Melee Channel should be like. I would have wanted Melee Channel to simply become a short duration buff that activated upon making a charged attack and gave the current bonus to every attack over that duration, but this idea sounds more fun.

Hmmm. I need more people to see this and say YAY or "you're crazy!"

 

Go tell your fellow Tenno.

Thanks!
