Dastrient Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I recently acquired the Fang Prime, it is the first dagger weapon I have used aside from Sheev. I was surprised to find that the fang deals primarily puncture damage with a bit of impact. The animation for the dagger makes this more confusing for a few reasons. 1. The daggers are held in the Reverse Ice Pick grip. This is an advances short bladed weapon grip that focuses primarily on slashing attacks with backhanded thrusts for stabs. 2. I have no stance for the daggers, but the basic eee combo appears to follow what someone might actually do with this grip, and the animation appears to be predominantly slashing attacks. Seeing these two things i assumed that the mod Rending Strike would finally have a relevant position on a weapon. I Know everyone is happy with the stats that fang prime provides now, but I would like to see a dagger whose stats match their animations. A secondary note on weapons, I am surprised to find that there are no puncture based swords in the game. There are many stances that state "thrusting attacks" but we don't have a rapier or any other kind of fencing sword, just thought this was odd.

GinKenshin Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 first off, congratz to u, fang p is a great weaponsecondly , even if the animation is "slashy" that doesn't mean the weapon deals slash dmg, the fang p isn't really made from metal or other sharp materiel, imagine if you have a wooden sword, it's a sword obviously but it won't "slash", it's like thatand to why there's no puncture weapon or sword, well in iron phoenix for ex, there's a thrust attack but that doesn't mean it does puncture dmg, it's still a stance for sharp swords , just be happy the fang p deals puncture , don't over think please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitchrea Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Would love to see a Puncture sword. Rapier, please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazeth Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Would love to see a Puncture sword. Rapier, please!!! We definitely need more Puncture melees. I think the only ones with a high base Puncture are daggers. Sadly, single daggers are in dire need of a buff. *Also Scythes, Machetes, and maybe Fists/Sparring Edited October 18, 2014 by Yazeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katinka Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Rending Strike isn't a Stance so wont affect animations. Gnashing Payara adn Sinking Talon would be the ones to try for different animations. I was going to mention Jaw Sword as a Puncture weapon bu tapparently Update 13 changed it to Slash like everything else. Oh well... I would love to see some elegant rapier style swords with their own stances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
