Bo Staff, Obsolete...

[Xenores]

"A two-handed, reinforced staff, that can send multiple enemies airborne."

 

It's on the description... now the question, where is the  can send multiple enemies airborne part in this weapon now?

Please fix it, or at least change the description...

 

It was a good weapon, not that good, but better.

It crap now...outclassed by almost all melee weapons

Bo was released in U2 maybe? xD what do you expect?

I'm sorry, WHAT?!?

I'm sorry, I just can't hear you guys over the sound of my Bo carnaging over 10,000 meatsacks over all of my time playing (680:00:00), from ever since I began playing Warframe and got rid of the Starter set.

PS: There's nothing to be fixed. its killing hits still send enemies flying.

Ragdolling on Charge Attacks would be awesome.

 

It'd be a melee Kestrel; sacrificing range for multi-target.

it such an old weapon that DE couldn't really care at all so good luck.

Bo's so old, I'm surprised they haven't already retired it like Gorgon

[nintega]

It'd be damn insulting if DE went about yet another phase of removing items from availability. If DE cared enough to give the Bo stats proper for Damage 2.0, then they can put in the effort to balance it into something useful. Give it a higher status chance, so that it can become a knockback machine, and it'll have its use.

?!?

People, the Bo is awesome... Stahp cryin' already... -.-"

(Much better than the Galatine I.M.H.O.)

There's no reason for the Bo to be as weak as it is.  With stats almost identical to the skana, it shares the spot for the worst melee weapon.  I feel as though both deserve a buff, but knowing DE this is unlikely.

Charge attacks with the Bo used to send live enemies flying, which was the useful aspect of it and the thing people are complaining about being removed. Almost any melee weapon can send enemies flying with the killing hit, which looks cool but isn't useful.

It kinda irks me that the new update make fist weapons knock down enemies reliably again, but no mention was made of Bo or Amphis. I mean I'm definitely glad they fixed part of the problem, but still.

make it ragdoll enemies.

 

make it hit a max of 5 enemies, like the galantine

 

the best crowd control weapon, and launching 5 chargers in the air would be the most glorious thing in the world.

Don't give them ideas. The last thing we need is for them to get in the habit of retiring weapons so they don't have to spend the effort of working on them.

 

OT: What it needs is an animation change to give it the medium-long range that a Bo staff should have. The short-ranged blunt bat-swinging just looks weird, and not bo-like at all.
