Let channeling persist after changing weapons

[Orokin]

Right now the only way to tell if you are channeling or not is if you hear the channeling sound when you turn channeling on or off and a barely visible visual highlight. This can be very difficult to hear when enemies are shooting. Right now, channeling is a toggle as long as you have your melee weapon out, however if you switch weapons channeling will turn off. This can be frustrating given that there is very little indication to know if you are channeling. My suggestions are:

• Let channeling persist through weapon changes. I feel like it would be a lot smoother to play with channeling focused builds without having to keep reactivating.
• Put an option for melee channeling without toggle. This way if I have that button pressed I know for sure that I will be channeling.

+. Channeling should really be a toggle design that never deactivates. It’s hard to tell if a weapon is channeling at all and then have to reactive it again so I don’t use it.

Agreed. They wanted to make the game more fluid, and this is a place they could really stand to look.
