Downed Enemy Melee

[ConnieMnemonic]

I think that the special melee attack performable on downed enemies need a boost. I mean, stealth attacks (which, with the default blade, involve impaling your enemy, same as when they're downed) are instant kill, why aren't these?

Anyone else feel this way?

Stealth attack isn't always an instant kill? My friend likes to use it alot and sometimes it only takes like 20% from the mob.

I havn't played long, but I don't think that would be a good idea.

People who invested mods into faster attack speed or more charge hit damage would be completely screwed over if all they had to do to melee kill someone, is to jump kick them, then impale them on the ground.

Though I do think they should do alot of damage since it takes quite a while to set up rather than just hacking and slashing a target. But that's just me. Maybe the damage it does now is good enough. I don't do it too often :P.

I don't know what weapon your friend is using, but with the default blade it's always been an instakill for me.

I kinda agree - a Gram to the face or a Scindo to the neck, executioner-style, should kill any human-like entity.
