Gahrzerkire Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Idea / Proposition:We need an energy bow. It fires arrows made of energy. When they hit a surface they conduct the energy into the surrounding ground. The AOE needs to only stun. Not deal damage, and if it does deal minor damage.Edit / More info:Works with channeling. The idea is that its base damage is electricity, and like all bows you can charge your shot, and if you hold the charge shot down for longer then the base charge time you give your bow energy from your warframe's energy pool. So you can basically doubly charge your bow.My thoughts for the mechanics would be you have to wait the normal charge time, + half the normal charge time to doubly charge the bow. And when you do the second charge the visual display would essentially be that wheel going around again but its your warframes energy color. And then when the arrow hits it deals 2x the base damage on top of the 2x you get for a charged shot normally.AOE clarification:The bow would not deal a S#&$ton of AOE. It would deal around 25 electrical AOE damage at base (Radius of 2-7m), that cannot crit, and does not scale with crit. with a 100% electircal proc chance for stun.Also if you punch through a target and it hits the ground then it doesnt deal the AOE.Stat ideas:The base damage would be 75 electrical damage, and then with 1 charge 150, with two 300. Essentially giving it more damage then any other bow. It would also be crit damage based with a crit chance equal to the dread.And becuase its energy based, you dont need to pull out another arrow, almost instant reload. The question is will you wdouble charge? Do you have enough time? Edit Two: So there is controversy on the punch through. Personally I dont see it as a problem as long as when it punches through the AOE is turned off.However if it has no innate punch through, and leaving it to AOE every single shot with mabye 1/4th its base damage (Depending on charge or double charge) that could be awesome and perfectly fine, especially if when you put punch through on it it functions like every other bow.

TheVerdict Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What do you mean?The bow shoots projectiles made out of energy...So do the arrows deal physical damage like impact, puncture, and slash or is this going to deal electric damage? OR is this going to act like channeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implodingbanana Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 YOU GET ALL MY ENERGY YES' an energy bow would be awesome and would be better if their was a key on our keyboards that we can use to channel our own energy into for extra damage or effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surtur Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 While not a bad idea, I envisioned something more like the magick bows from Dragon's Dogma. Ah, so much nostalgia and so little patience for the Dragon's Dogma PC release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[DE]Momaw Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm totally on board with the idea of elemental bows with high status chance and/or built in AOE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox-Lamina Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So long as we don't go too far out of the line with this. A bow that fires bolts of energy sounds nice. Not sure if it should pierce or AoE or both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMelvin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Status energy bow? I'd rock it. I like the idea of drawing from warframe energy to turbocharge a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if it has that AOE every shot it doesnt need the punch through and we can just build that in ourselves with shred. However it is a main quality of bows as a whole. Mabye it could only punch through if doubly charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gahrzerkire Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 WE really need to make an energy bow. In all seriousness the badass potential is through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I say we turn thunderbolt into this. Better yet make another mod specifically for it. Sounds cool but having a bow do it by default idk how I feel about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mostly be a CC effect it would do little to no damage, and wouldnt scale with split chamber. The AOE would simply stun enemies and let you pick em off.
