Will The Bo Be Made Useful Again In U13?

[The_Traitor_Executioner]

Because let's be honest: right now, it's terrible.

 

Removing the ragdoll effect, which was the only thing that made the Bo usable, has turned the Bo into a completely worthless weapon.

Hold on, let me look into the future for the answer.

 

>Smartass Mod Off< We'll find out soon enough.

If you watched the stream, Scott himself admitted it may be a bit too OP.

[Kickboxing_Banana]

What's the point of asking question like this if nobody knows the answer? We will obviously see which melee weapons are useful and which not on Wednesday. I do hope that DE has made changes to each melee weapon, so more variety can be seen in the game.

in that case it will probably be readjusted before it comes out then

Melee 2.0 supposedly makes the Skana and the Cronus as good as far as Pluto. I wouldn't be suprised if you could solo T3 Void with a Bo, assuming DE doesn't nerf Melee 2.0 in general.

Did you watch Devstream 26?

If the Bo dethrones the Galatine, I will be a happy man.

Those enemies are level one. It's really hard to know if the Bo is powerful compared to the other weapons by only seeing so little game play.

It's op.

just like everyone else you will have to wait

I thought U13 was a myth , but your reply is ....

All melee weapons (except glaive-type weapons) have no charge attacks any more. The one thing Galatine was good at above all others was something that will no longer exist.

 

Obviously it'll be rebalanced, but it's time for something else to take the throne.

This

is SPARTA!!

Stop. You did this in another topic and it still wasn't funny.

 

That meme is almost 7 years old now. Just give it a rest.

The Bo is terrible?....My my, after all my time using it I had not noticed it was bad...but I guess if all you fine gentlemen says it is, then my I must be in the wrong.

It's been pretty widely agreed to be one of the worst weapons for a very long time.

[TashaPrime]

Even DE has said that the Bo staff is arguably the weakest melee weapon in the game. After it was introduced it got nurfed pretty hard because players complained that it was way too op. 

 

Personally it has been my hope that some day DE would bring the ninja back to WarFrame and take a new look at weapons that are very ninja like. They said at the end of the last dev stream that in melee 2.0 they hope that they have accomplished that very thing in melee 2.0.

 

On that note I have been preparing for this eventuality and my bo staff is now a 2 star cat carrying beast in waiting. As for the Galatine I will be sad to see it's charge attack go the way of the dodo. But that does not mean that it will not still be a very powerful weapon still under the new melee system. There are way to many people that absolutely love the weapon. One of my friends in fact lives for getting those rare 300K+ crit hits whit his Galatine. (For which he has screenshots to back up.)

 

All that aside we will all have to wait until Wednesday for melee 2.0. Not only that but all else that has been in the works for month and months that is coming on Wednesdays update 13. 

 

Thank you DE and please show the Bo staff some love or all my work is for not.

[Blatantfool]

 While it is definitely still too early to know for sure it appeared to me that they turned the Bo-Staff into a light weapon version of the same thing Jat-Kittag does.

Are you sure about that? I am pretty certain we can still use our weapons the old way if we want to, otherwise what will happen with charge atk mods?

What he says is true. The charge mods will be changed or removed.

Yep. Charge is gone for all melee weapons, and will only still exist for the Glaive/Glaive Prime/Kestrel.

Ouch, I wonder how loki and ash will fare with this new system then, cc wise that is.
