Add Harrow's Thurible as a melee weapon/Introduce flails

[Fourthold]

We need flails (with glowing void incense for a nice smell) to purge heathens. Get them a headshot-centric stance for added sexy. (harrow with a heathen-purging thurible for reference)

Would be cool.

Speaking of Thurible, my fantasy augment for it would make it into a channeled Whirlwind style attack in addition to still being an energy battery.

You know, when I first joined the game, I thought it was an actual weapon. Then I confused the lecta with it. Then I was sad.

Harrow is not really a melee theme frame. His abilities center around headshot. So unless you can aim and score headshot with the thurible, otherwise, no.

Yeah, he's not exactly melee themed...but he's pretty decent at it anyway.  And some melee weapons and stances--like polearms--land a lot of headshots.   It'd be appropriate if a Thurible flail was the same.

Dunno what you guys are talking about - his 2 gives him meltational attack speed (and lifesteal with heals for the entire team), while 3 if cast sufficiently long basically negates the need for only hitting heads (although headshots happen often on polearms, as the guy above said). He has a bug-off button with a long invincibility window for the whole team, and while he's in the thick, he's way easier to get his ult stacked to full.  

All that can be improved with a stance that favors overhead strikes. (which can be added with flails)

Technically aterax and others are flails. We call them whips but they addre not used as whips or rope and dart, they are handled as flails.

Flails? For me they look like more of a chunk of metal affixed to a broken fishing rod.
