Brandr_ Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 One thing I'd like to see in Warframe is to have some more of the melee weapons expanded. For instance De keeps putting out new types of weapons (good) except they're also leaving some behind. Look at daggers, we haven't had a new dagger or dual dagger in ages. What about the thrown weapons? Sure the glaive is awesome but what about the poor Kestrel thrown to the wayside? Besides there are only two (not counting prime) glaive weapons in the game. Same thing applies for scythes, which there are only 3 (counting Reaper prime) which are "underpowered" when compared to some of the other melee weapons One thing I'd like to see is maybe an actual full sized scythe, kind of like the grim reaper, or what an actual farmer/ninja would use. Back in feudal japan, ninja were farmers who would take up assassination contracts and use a variety of weapons. Their farming scythes were a perfect choice because: Being a farming tool you wouldn't be able to tell a ninja from a farmer, long reach allows them to utilize them almost like a spear, and lastly the scythes we have are more hand axes then anything (I'd be happy with a skin for the pole arms that looks like a real scythe) Same goes for the axe weapons, on the wiki the Galatine, Gram, and scindo are the only axe classed weapons in the game, with the scindo being the only one that could even be remotely considered an axe What do you guys think?

Cleesus Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Mannnnn I have been asking for them to redo scythes for ages I really hope they do it one day. Something big like this http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/29590272666415917/1518C1AE5E8E5115E7C736DCD0B0FEC714B15C5C/ Edited August 5, 2014 by theclinton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarksman10109 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 yeah i would love to see that too. Im a huge pole arm user and its sad that theres only 3 of them. I feel the same with whips, they have such fun mechanic but their numbers are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 By farmer-esque sickles I assume you mean the Kama: We already have them. They are called…Kama: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfLord Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 how about an actual spear? Not orthos or the serro that mostly slash around. I mean a spear for thrusting, high puncture damage. You use if for distance stab stab stab, maybe a cut once in a while but mostly stabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandr_ Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 TheErbus the kama is a war pick, not a scythe. When I say Scythe I mean the giant thing you see the grim reaper depicted with. A scythe is used to dig trench's into fields to allow for planting without bending over, and to cut grain. An actual Two handed beast, not the wimpy kama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanutMonster Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Instead of adding new weapons in to the game, I think DE should buff the old, forgotten ones and we suddenly have dozens of new weapons to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kama is not wimpy, it is for manly men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, it's not even supposed to be used as a weapon, it's a farming tool. It's used as an improvised weapon when the situation is called for, but that is not what it's made for. As opposed to the "wimpy" kama, which, as you also pointed out, is a "war" pick. I do agree with the idea in this thread though, it would be nice to see more diversity in the melee weapons. Fingers crossed for a skyla solo! Although recently they've been introducing weapons with entirely new stances (sword+shield and claws) which is exciting too, since it's always fun to see new weapon styles.

I support more pole weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
