[Weapon Suggestion] Elemental Bow Concepts

[mynameisd]

Now that we have Impact, Puncture and Slash bows, we need some elemental bows! :)

Here are some concepts;

 

Brontios: ("thunderer") is an epithet of Zeus, who was known for throwing thunderbolts around at just about anything and anyone xD.

 

It should perhaps be reminiscent of a quincy bow ^^ Most likely developed by the Corpus.

It would be cool if the weapon didn't use ammo, since it is an energy bow *maple story reference* xD but that may be a bit imba? :) though unique^^ perhaps if it only had a charge attack that was longer it would be balanced.

 

Or make it very fast at firing tons of projectiles :P

 

Basic attack:

Very high fire rate but with low damage.

 

Charged attack:

-Status chance Increased to ~45%(without mods)

-Projectiles gain PUNCH THROUGH.

To get that chain lightning ^^

 

Mirkwood:
It is crafted from the extremely durable genetically engineered trees that overgrow earth, and are currently the thematic focus of this patch ^^..

 

Mirkwood is a reference to the first bow(not the Galadhrim) of Legolas and the overgrown Mirkwood forests from Lord Of The Rings where he comes from. I don't know why but I imagine the tenno looking like elves ^^

Basic attacks:

-deals poison damage.

-Fast reload(taking out of quiver)

Charged attack:

-Increased critical chance/damage. ~25%

-fires 2/3 arrows. (increased charge time?)

 

There probably will be some elemental bows but this is just a plausible theme for some ^^.

 

I will try to think some more up later ^^ If you have ideas please share :D
