Latronico Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'll post a video, about a kind of character of a new chinese game that has martial arts as theme. Of course it's not technically correct (speaking of martial arts), but it gives an idea of how spear stances could work. There is a common wworry about how a thrust weapon could handle mobs of enemies. The answer is: giving it the possibility to have AoE as well. Now, imagine that developers could watch some videos about asian and european spears and polearms techniques and work on something like that. I think it could perfectly fit Warframe lore, right?

ENDER357 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just because it doesn't conform to stereotype, doesn't make it any less of a spear just because my Car is a ford Fusion doesnt make it any less of a BMW M5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENDER357 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Only reason I can think of as to why no spear yet(and why so many slash melee weapons) despite slashing pole arms already included is animation flair. Slashing is so fluid because it's essentially omnidirectional but thrusting only really goes one way--forward. Notice how the main puncture weapons are daggers with stances that still swing like slashing blades. As much as I love spears I must admit that a weapon that exclusively thrusts would handle pretty rigid and bland in wf. Just think of fencing with rapiers or jousting vs our current over-the-top stances. it could easily be a thrown weapon with high innate punch through and a more arrow like trajectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyr-Umbra Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 If we're going to get a Thrusting, Puncture damage based Spear can we also get a Rapier weapon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estoc After playing dark souls, this is the rapier-like weapon I would personally want. Like the rapier its used for thrusting, but it has a longer reach and is a bit sturdier. Also, I hope you Tenno realize that if we were to get a thrusting, advancing sort of move set it'd be through a Stance that you could put on any of the correct type of weapon, right? Which seems like it'd be for the best because it widens options for how you could potentially build existing weapons too. Gimme Puncture type Spear + Stance for aggressive, forward marching thrusts. Gimme Puncture type Sword + Stance for rapid, multi-hit advancing combos. I'm assuming that you mean that the stance would be applied to a new spear category of weapon (tonbo might work as a spear with the proper stance, but orthos prime wouldn't). Personally I think that most any stance applied to spears would have to focus on thrusting, at least somewhat (its a defining characteristic of spears).

TheErebus. Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Spear?Sure. War hammers?Yes. And spontoons, and fails, AND MESSER BLADES, AND BATTLE AXES, KUSARIGAMA, KANABŌ AND TONS MORE. HURRY UP DE. PUT THESE IN. Point I'm makin' here is that while I do want a spear, there are tons and I mean tons of other weapons that have never (or rarely ever) been seen in video gaming.

Kantazo Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The main problem I have with spear is simple, you throw spear you are out of weapon, what you will do when you get a mob coming at you, you can kill one what about the others, spear is worth at that moment nothing.

Easy: Collapsable spears (Shortened when not equipped so multiple spears can be carried) Energy spears (so they can be formed again) Rope or chain spears (So they can come back to you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teqnologyque Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Spears are all fine and dandy, don't get me wrong... But as a Scholarly Gentleman, I lack a Scholarly Gentleman's weapon. We NEED a Rapier or Cane for Limbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitchrea Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Tonbo is a spear, its derived from Tonbogiri, which is a spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_m3nace Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Youtube videos With the exception of the shaloin monk training video, the others are pure choreography. yes it takes training, but its not real, it would never work in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulalucard Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 A puncture damage lance with a shield would be great, kinda like Silva and Aegis but with an actual functional shield that doesn't drains stamina in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtSprinkulz Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, please. A high picture spear would be great for late game Smileys. Seeing as raw damage for melee is completely ignored in late game for more proc abilities, it would be great if we could get the first double digit mastery weapon as a badass puncture spear. The Grineer are clearly DE's favorite, at least for now, so it would be useful for a at least a few months. On a similar topic. From my memory, almost all puncture melee weapons are under the a dagger category, which from what I've seen is pretty much universally hated. Some kind of morning star that combines Puncture and impact would be great if the mace became its own weapon type. Some kind of war pick would be cool too if it could be used with the heavy sword stances or, again, got its own. Idunno, just wanted to get my thoughts out.
