Bo Finisher Problem

[JimJam_]

The Bo's last bit of the finisher animation can leave you vulnerable to enemy fire. After finishing the "Swipe" part of the animation, you perform a "Ground Stab" animation. it does no damage and leaves you vulnerable to enemy fire if you're in the middle of combat. If this is a mistake, I must have missed something.

fury will help speed up its animation if im not mistaken. but yeah its a pain. just how it is. 

 

there was a bug a bit ago that made you do it randomly after a charge attack that killed an enemy. was pretty horrible.

Its not only bo matter, every weapon does the same. When you kill enemy you ground slam its body. Does the same on both charge and regular attacks.

Started at 7.9 glaive patch.

It's not about that "ground attack dead bodies" bug, its about the bo's ground attack animation.  The tenno sweeps the bo, causeing damage, and then spends a good second stabbing the ground, for no reason, doing no damage, while you get shot by other enemies.  It is pretty long and the whole last half of the animation is literally useless.

I was under the impression that the slam did the damage, and the sweep was the unnecessary flourish? It's what stopped me from using the bo. Couldn't eliminate them before they got back up again, so it did literally no damage.
