Coerrywuas Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Where is the sense in that? Tenno can already use tons of different slash swords/ weapons and now another a former great puncture weapon became just like the majority of the other ones: a stupid SLASH sword. I only built the Jaw Sword because of its good puncture damage and thanks to the lastest patches, now it lines up with 999999999999 other slash melee weapons. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We really need more puncture melees and some should definitely be long swords or such. I did prepare a jaw spord especially for grineer when melee 2.0 and seeing it nerfed isnt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeroix Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think the Pagolin should be puncture instead as it looks as if it is in the same series as the Fang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worira Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sorry, the Tenno have not learned the fabled art of "stabbing dudes with a sword" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Just take a staff and put nails on it and give it puncture damage. You dont need to stab. Edited April 13, 2014 by Cemges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot_Inducer Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah this has made me sad as well, It does still have higher than average puncture damage but it should still be a puncture damage primary dammit! That's its whole selling point right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Now we need dark sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coerrywuas Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) So now we only have Fang (+primed version), Ceramic and Heat Dagger left that deal puncture damage? Is this correct? Devs seriously have to have a look at this. Maybe I should start all over, creating a more unspecific thread with sth. like "Downfall of puncture melee weapons"? You guys agree?

immolator1001 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We should get a spear for puncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratmania Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am honestly very surprised. Damn. Look at that sword! It has hooks on the edge for puncturing enemies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Now we need dark sword Just noticed my old Dark Dagger is doing radiation damage now. Is that the same case for the sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerZeyCJ Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, I was disappointed when I went to go equip it and saw that it did slash now. Shame, would have been nice to use on Grineer in 2.0 and I only built it because it was one of the few weapons that did puncture damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Just noticed my old Dark Dagger is doing radiation damage now. Is that the same case for the sword? Probably. A corrosive + radiation melee would be killer. Probably its damage type will make up for low base dmg as well. Also you can add more elemental or other mods becauss rending strike and jagged edge are obsolete. Edited April 13, 2014 by Cemges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogoframe Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hehehe be thankful you didnt build, level, potato and forma a Jaw Sword when damage 2.0 hit and DE gave it a 50% base stat chance, only to remove it a WEEK later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeliaRS643 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, Jaw sword getting turned to slash was one of my points in my thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyphe Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 well thats my jaw sword sold then, one thing i am not short of is slash melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePresident777 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The Dark Sword and Dagger are clearly stabbing weapons. Yet, they do no puncture damage. Ceramic Dagger is clearly a slashing weapon yet it does mostly puncture damage. The weapons could use a damage type review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I'm glad that I'm not the only one who did that or even more sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
