[quan256]

Anyone think we should have a grand lance-type weapon? Something like this

 

 

thought?

A heavy one like the gram the galatine or the scindi could be great.

[Ashild_36]

maybe for archwing? 

[Nira]

Definitely. We are in dire need of more melee weapons that aren't slash-based.

 

That picture kind of reminds of the pile bunker Letter13 mentioned in a thread I made on the matter. Kinda like a pointy, forward-thrusting version of the Jat Kittag.

if your not mounted on a steed there is no reason to have a conical western type jousting lance 

what on earth would you deflect with it, ya know ?

 

i always thought a regenerating/reforming lance or javelin would be cool

corpus you hold the cylindrical control unit and it forms a plasma lance /javelin that you can use or throw

infested same thing it reforms technoctye lance/javelins infused with toxins from within the base unit u hold in your hand

Makes me think of Valkyrie Chronicles.

 

Only, most of the lances in that series either shot Anti-Tank rockets or were used by the Valkyria to shoot lasers/knock tanks around.

[Yatazanami]

you may need a shield with this .

Isnt Executioner one that wields lance?

[Noxonion]

Spear/lance?

 

I'd like one.

You wouldn't be able to spam E with a lance type weapon.

 

It would have to be forced into melee only mode.

 

Not only would a lance weapon get in the way visually, you can't attack quickly with a lance without already setting up for said flurry way ahead of time.

 

Wouldn't work in Warframe as an actual weapon frames carry around. Even if they half @$$ it and make magic spring lances like in Monster Hunter, it would still be stupid in this game.

 

Now a javelin, maybe. But an actual lance? No.

 

Also, it would have to be impossibly slow by default as well because of the size and unwieldlyness of a lance type weapon.

No smough wields a hammer

[RoboDoge]

No smough wields a hammer

I was thinking about Executioner Chariot from DS2.

[FaerieBanshee]

Go all Monster Hunter and make a Gunlance. :P

[castem]

I would love to see a lance in Warframe.  We're in desperate need of melee weapons that deal puncture damage...in fact, we don't even have a heavy melee weapon that primarily deals puncture damage yet, so a lance would be a perfect fit.

 

That, or a spear.  But I like lances better.  :)

[Nira]

We have a few: Fang/Fang Prime, Ceramic Dagger, Heat Dagger. Huh, they're all daggers.

[H.Katsura_999]

I'd like lancer's spear from fate stay night.

 

red spear with perma-bleeding proc and inert life steal.

 

 

good range, good attack speed, nice crit dmg/chance, excellent CC. Perfect for Valkyr.
