creepercola106 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Welp, people are saying Excalibur is going to be a boss and some are saying that he's gonna be worse. I know he's getting a rework, could some of you tell me what's happening to him in this rework? Is he getting new abilities or something? :) Thanks!

Orbister Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Nobody can answer that, because we don't even know what his abilities will be like, my bet is that it will be a little less "strategic" to play, i think they will be adding some "bladestorm/hysteria" to him.

EmptyDevil Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure he will be very good based on what Scott said. Those saying he won't be are most likely people whining about Radial Javelin or possibly Super Jump. Edited April 15, 2015 by EmptyDevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cydro_ Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Watch Devstream 50, they talk about an Excal rework a bit. Slash Dash is apparently gonna be sorta like a coned bladestorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohee Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well I only played Draco farm once... and it was boring D: pressing 4 to exp I'm glad he is getting rework :) And finally! RADIAL FCKING BLIND! CASTABLE WHILE MOVING GLORIOUS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) my bet is that it will be a little less "strategic" to play This implies he's strategic now. Having a big jump isn't very strategic. For OP, Slash Dash will work in a sort of radial cone, working on enemies similar to the end of the Tombs of the Sentient trailer. Radial Blind will be castable while moving, Radial Javelin will replace Super Jump as the third ability and he'll get a new ability similar to Hysteria where he summons a skana and fires energy waves or something. So now he's going to have a kit that isn't entirely outclassed. He needed a rework, really. His constant shifting left him in a broken and clunky state.

And second: YES, an ability that only allows you to reposition yourself is probably the closest to strategic you will find in this game giving him a "coned bladestorm" is not closer i know, i don't even use super jump but it is the anti-press4towin ability.

Barely. It is the absolute tiniest bit strategic. It's even less strategic than Tailwind, Ripline, Wormhole, Teleport/Switch Teleport etc. It also isn't the 'anti-press4towin' ability. What a ridiculous statement. You could say the same rubbish about pretty much any other ability. Edited April 15, 2015 by AdunSaveMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobsdie4eva Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 · Slash Dash will be changed from a singular slash in one direction to a multiple hit attack against all enemies in a cone. Using a melee attack will cancel this action, and cancelling will auto-equip a melee weapon. · Radial Blind will be able to be used on the move and will open up enemies to finishers. Excalibur will get custom execution animations. · Super Jump is being removed. · Radial Javelin will be moved to his third Ability Power, and will see some adjustments. · Excalibur will receive a new fourth Ability Power, allowing Excalibur to draw his sword and slash energy waves forwards into enemies. This will have its own custom stance. Sounds good, super jump wasn't particularly useful, the recently needed RJ will be his 3rd so a lower energy cost will make it more worth it again and his new 4 sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the same rubbish about pretty much any other ability. I'm guessing you don't know what super jump is, what it does, or how to use it. Definitely sounds like you haven't the slightest clue. Play around with it. You'd be surprised. @OP: It's really hard to guess. Realistically, excal is getting as many as 3 new skills and a total rework on his first skill, so it's anyone's guess as to how well he'll handle. Combining RJ+RB has been a suggestion for a long, long, long time, and if there's something replacing the ultra-cheap, ultra-useful SJ, it's hard to imagine how much different it could be.

Z3GR4M Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I also hope they give him passives like Mesa and rework his prime... That goes for other old primes too btw, new primes stats are way more buffed then the old ones counterparts. They just need to bring them up to par with what it is now.

Definitely sounds like you haven't the slightest clue. Nice assumption you got there. Good to know I can just ignore what you say from here on. The excal fanboys can go on about how great SJ is all they want and just say people dunno how to use it when they disagree, but while it is a useful ability, it is painfully outclassed and is certainly no more strategic than anything else.

Deruser Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For Excalibur Prime, I'll be satisfied with just an armour buff. That would make him a little more melee viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepercola106 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Alright, thank you everyone! :) I have a bit of an idea now. I guess that he will KINDA be a boss, or at least better than he is now. I have to agree, he is VERY clunky. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfhsanseiIII Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I still play him in his current state just fine. However, it'll be interesting to see how his rework looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosJames Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm personally sad to see Super Jump go, it's one of those fun skills I really enjoy in Warframe, and while I would of liked to see it get buffed (especially during the early ranks of it), I was happy with it.Not to keen on this rework, lol. I'm gonna miss OldExcal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shehriazad Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I already know that I will have a 1 centric build with as much speed as possible...just cuz.Especially since you will be able to melee combo and heavy melee (which will return) anytime during the skill....finally "The Sword Alone" will have an actual character.

Hypernaut1 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 i still dont understand what they plan to do to RJ as a 3. Will it still be high damage? a stun? I dont see how it fits in in its current state. Maybe they'll make it an armor reducer. It still seems redundant though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3GR4M Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow wow wow wow.... Slow your roll their pleya Excalibro is and always will be a BOSS... But he is getting a rework that will make him like #YOLOSWAGBALLABOSS... That should answer all your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The number 4 still doesn't seem to great to me though. If it worked without locking me into melee only then that is fine. I mean the ability to have extra long range melee while I am reloading a gun or got caught in a bind is great. So I can dakakkaa until I am empty then rapid slash to finish off everything.
