An Idea For Parrying

[HunterHog]

Y'know how you can parry melee attacks to perform a finisher? I was thinking, if you channel while parrying bullets instead, you would reflect them right back at the opponent, at a cost of 3 energy per deflection at 75% of the original damage.

 

As in: A Ballista shoots you, dealing 1000 damage. You channel the bullet parry and you reflect it back at her for 750 damage at a cost of 3 energy. Of course, against heavy gunners your energy depletes like hell but the heavy gunner would die fast too. Just an idea to make melee blocking a bit more worth it.

Reflection warframe mod does exactly what you want......though i still wish reflection was a melee mod instead of a warframe mod. (though it has a max of 96% damage reflected back....the higher the damage reflected the more stamina drain.)

 

But i see what you mean with energy drain option when channeling.

I like the idea, Let's see if someone from DE reads this

Yeah since it occupies a Warframe slot as of now noone uses Reflection and Channel Block could have another use.
