Will Melee 2.0 Damage Multipliers Affect Certain Melee Based Frame Powers?

[__Kanade__]

Will these multipliers actually make melee based powers like Slash Dash, Bladestorm, Hysteria, Radial Javelin, Shuriken, etc. make them stronger? Those powers would come in handy at higher levels if damage multipliers actually affect the amount of damage melee based powers would do instead of leaving them capped with max power/damage mods.

Hysteria is useful at any level.

With my lvl 12 Valkyr, I can already kill Phorid with one round of Hysteria without taking damage, that in itself is slightly worrying how OP it is, but equally awesome.

 

Tbh, she seems more like a solo-assassin than any other frame.

I hope slash dash and rhino charge add to the multiplier Oo

 

Especially slash dash !

Slash dash yes, Rhino charge probably not. Charge I would say that he is using himself as a battering ram rather than using his melee attacks.

 

Also +1 to Hysteria being awesome at any level. Totally agree. Also agree its a bit OP. Teammate down? Pop hysteria and Res. Having issues popping air because you are getting slaughtered by high level enemies? Pop hysteria and pop the air. Easy.

Only things stopping it being OP is that you can be stunned/stumbled.

Other than that, total massacre and I LIKE it that way!

Well for Slash Dash, and Bladestorm, the multipliers would help with those 2 since they're damaged capped early.

I need a solid answer, specifically from DE on whether or not this new system will affect melee based powers.

[Feallike]

Yes, all abilities that have melee in them will use the combo multiplier. (confirmed by DE steve)

 

 

Also Melee 2.0 is coming the first or second week of april. :(

By what logic are shuriken and radial javelin melee based powers?
