Please Make It Possible To Channel When Melee Is Not Equipped.

[Arkezuli]

What happened to "Your sword is always at ready" DE?

Bringing out your Melee doesn't compensate the time wasted being shot, and channeling shouldn't be locked to it.

People should be able to focus when they want to focus! not have to switch around all the time (Which, may I add, is just not an option in higher levels fight, considering current weapons' switching speed) they want to.

Focusing is already are barely appliable in a consistent basis, please don't keep it even worse by not letting us do it when we need to do it...

And the button to enable channeling would be..?

[Varzy]

Can't agree with your reasoning. If you want to melee in the middle of a fire fight then use quick melee. Blocking and channeling are the benefits going into melee mode.

 

Maybe DE need to speed up the weapon swap time, though. What might help is if you map melee toggle to a different button -- I've got mine on wheel click, for instance.

This right here.

Let's count the amount of threads that ask for this.

Speed up or at least make it more evident that you switched to melee. I often switch to melee, think that I didn't hold long enough, switch again. So my warframe switches to melee and then switches to gun. Controls need to be made more responsive.

No idea.

I was thinking Middle mouse button, maybe...

 

Maybe holding the Attack button would enable the Channeling and keep attacking as long as you held?

 

Or, if all else fails, use a whole new button. (Caps? Tab? '?)

- Yes, speeding up Weapons switching a bit would be great. But that's another issue entirely.

Agreed.

 

 

 

Edit: Just realized since Melee 2.0 I can't block anymore. Thanks D.E....

+1 OP

[MarcusGraves]

switching to melee really does need to be mapped to a different key and little faster cause its kinda a pain and feels clunky atm. like others have said if you don't hold the F key long enough you just end up wasting time on switching to a different gun instead, the drawing of the melee weapon itself feels kinda slow and not fluid which is something I thought was their goal with melee 2.0

[Panecia]

You can map a key specifically for switching to your melee weapon instead of holding the switch weapon button.

They should at least bring block back when using guns.
