New Weapon Class Idea

[Pimehlkof]

I would like to see a new weapon class: Spears

They would be craftet out of, lets say a sword/ dagger / thrown secondary and a bo. Very similar to staffs but u would pierce the enemies instead of just beat them.

Would be a cool weapon

pls dont rage me because if my english; iam not a nativ speaker

Multi enemy pierce mechanic for Grineer BBQ

[Pimehlkof]

But then u have to pull them off ur spear...;-)

[Vesiga]

The animations could end up kinda dull, but it would be nice to add some more variety. 

[WERElektro]

Could imagine this to be a thing soon.

[Pimehlkof]

With a stance u may perform a dash(able to hit multiple enemies in a line) after a few attacks

Have you ever seen anime? Lol

[Pimehlkof]

Does anyone of u know League of Legends? Theres a guy, called xin zhao using a spear. A stance for it could end like his ult. ( spinning around knocking all enemys fron theire feet)

So, something like this?

Ohh sry posted in the wrong section...fu

[Akavakaku]

I like this idea! It could open up lots more possibilities like tridents, (actual) glaives, poleaxes...

[Lightsmith]

Spears have been suggested, definitely a great idea.

 

As for animations, if anyone has played Nanobreaker, he has some good animations for spears.

The biggest concern I see with having a spear melee weapon is the throwing aspect of it all. If you chuck it and it impale x number of grineer into a wall how do you get it back? The idea of it returning like a glaive I find sill because it's stuck in something.

I think if they bring a projectile piercing weapon like this it should be in the form of an energy weapon.

So what could be done is the entire weapon is a glove or gauntlet that creates a energy spear that you can melee with and once you throw it, the glove then generates a new spear for you to use.

Also apologies for any typos and grammar. Typed up my response on my phone.

Personally I don't want Throwing Spears, just normal. Perhaps better to refer to them as Lances then.

[Jonnyrobot]

A lance huh? The only problem is lances (as far as medieval times are concerned) are quite different than a spear. A spear is more agile where as a lance is definitely more cumbersome. They both have thrusting moves but completely different in the way the rest of combat would play out.

I like that idea alot since im a spear person myself.

[Akavakaku]

Oh, I think javelins would be a totally different weapon type from spears. And lances would be too unwieldy for a Tenno, except perhaps in Archwing.

This is actually a pretty good idea, and i could see this applied to a wider range of weapons, it'd be a shame to take such a good idea as this and apply it only to spears.

It's a call DE has to make about weapon types. A polearm stance with thrusty/choppy moves could be used for spears, in addition to the polearm stances -OR- they could divide it into a whole new weapon type. I tend to lean towards "true" polearms being their own weapon type, but then again the polearm type we have now has an execute animation where you jump up and impale them one handed so... who knows...

 

I originally added the lance type to a thread I made about missing weapon categories as separate, but I agree they make a lot more sense for Archwing.

I'd like to see a version where you can throw them and fight with one in melee range, so maybe energy projected spears would work.

Throwing spear is called a javelin iirc
