Melee: There Isn't Enough Puncture/impact Weapons.

[Innocent_Flower]

Want an Impact weapon? 

Use a hammer

Or fists

Or the bo. 

 

Not a terrible, terrible list. Then you've got puncture: 

Fangs

 

You can count the kestrel and the... throwing-impact hammer that costs too-much oxium if you want. But we're talking melee here. 

 

 

You see, you don't even need to make new weapon classes for this. 

 

Sword/Machete/dual swords: Club, Hammer, Iceaxe. Spiked mace. : 

Nikana: Pole/Curved club/Tetsubo/ Spiked tetsubo/ Club or sword with spikes on one side. Zabimaru?

Hammer/Axe- Merger? Spike hammers/axes? 

Scythe: Hammer with long head. Spike on a stick. (hate Looks rather-puncture actualy) 
Whip: Morning star/flail (The atterax looks like an excellent example of such weaponry) 

Polarm/Stave (merge them!) Spear, or put spiked-club type heads on the end. 

daggers: bring back ether daggers, add Impact daggers (think Stakes) 

Tonfa: a normal tonfa. A different blade design for punture. 

 

 

Why? 

Because some weapon classes are really cool, but they don't exactly work on a certain faction well because puncture is awful on shields or impact is awful on armour. Yet in real life you can have kuckle weapons that are designed to puncture or rope/chain weapons that cause an impact. So: rather than create... Nunchucks or something silly like that: why not use what you've got to flesh out the weapon classes we have,coming with new stances for weapons we already have (as opposed to that one new weapon that's the only one of it's kind)

 

(javalins,rapiers and grineer-lawnmowers are still on the cards though, right?)

Do want. Want much.

1 word.

Rapiers.

 

 

That is all.

[Kurrumitsumi]

the jat kitag is all the impact i need <3

 

but i think the reason there are so little of these types is because its hard to think of weapons that feasibly deal that type of damage that aren't a hammer or a dagger :/

 

i mean i personally would love a rapier but i dont think too many other people would be interested, they could however make a normal style tonfa that deals impact damage as well :D

 

Edit: the post of the beast! jk (666 post count XD)

We have a fairly good amount of impact melee weapons, but we definitely need more puncture melee weapons.

[Petersheikah]

We need puncture weapons. We only have a pair of daggers (Fangs, Fangs Prime, Ceramic Dagger and maybe some other daggers)... There should be stilettoes and foils in this game.

[AsuraKyu]

Well Tonfas could have very well been Impact, and I thought they would be. Instead they stuck a blade on the sides and called it slash lol

[Guest]

Melee weapons that deal mainly Puncture damage: 5 weapons (Ceramin Dagger; Fang; Fang Prime; Halikar (ew); Heat Dagger).

Melee weapons that deal mainly Impact damage:     14

Melee weapons that deal elemental damage:           9

Melee weapons that deal mainly Slash damage:       35

 

Yeah... I think there's a little bit of a bias towards slashing weapons.

 

We need more puncture melee weapons. Some that are actual melee weapons (not a throwing mace that mysteriously does puncture damage despite looking blunt as a board) and that are not tiny toothpicks either.

spear and shield would be so epic...charge attack for spear throw:D

[Drake_Gunn]

A rapier could be cool, and they could make other tonfas that fit both puncture and impact (would love this, personally the kronen are my favorite weapon).

[Innocent_Flower]

Oh, and I wanted to be able to hold a one handed weapon in one hand (Machete, whip, sword, rapier, single dagger) and a one handed secondary in the other. (no dual weapons, and not Big pistols like the marelok)

 

Work on that, rather than an entirely new weapon type. 

[AsuraKyu]

Let's how they don't make Rapiers slash too lol

[Sherbniz]

Sherbniz, you have stolen my idea that I told you

Haha, I totally forgot, I was sure that the concept floated around the forums for a while... I'm sorry! x)
