Designchoice: Bo Staff - Question

[Namacyst]

Why doesn't the Bo have a 90 degree front normal attack cone hitting up to 3 nearest Targets and a 180 degree front charge attack hitting up to 3,4 or even 5 nearest targets? Single Target makes no sense for a long staff and the attack animations even implicate AE-cone attacks. Devs?

Give the Bo some love, guys! ^^

It already has a huge hit range *and* ignores armor. I think those are two really good bonuses as is. A multi-hit charge would be sweet though.

Its multi target now

Tested it because i could not believe it but.. yes...awesome! Finally the Staff feels like a Staff and not like a stick.

Does it still ignore armor? If so does that mean adding armor peirce damage mods are useless to it are useless?

For weapons that ignore armor, +% armor piercing damage is functionally the same as +% damage mods.

The Qeustion is then... since we have +% (normal) Melee and +% charge melee attack mods where each mod only affects the specified attack type.. does the +% armor piercing count for both, Normal Melee and charge attack? Since armor piercing applies to normal an charged attacks for all i know it should, right?
