MiNixB0SSx Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 was just playing mesa today and remembered she has passives and i was wondering if excal is going to have passives with his rework and if he is, does anyone know what they would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodDarius Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He might have them, perhaps something like 50 HP bonus if he equips just a melee weapon, a little bit of speed bonus on longswords, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He might have them, perhaps something like 50 HP bonus if he equips just a melee weapon, a little bit of speed bonus on longswords, etc.I think his current iconic weapon is the Nikana... How about 20% melee swing speed if equipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think his current iconic weapon is the Nikana... How about 20% melee swing speed if equipped. He's iconic weapon will always be skana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He's iconic weapon will always be skana. I'm not too sure about that. When you look at the more recent videos featuring Excalibur he has Nikana and his energy sword won't be a Skana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodDarius Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Considering how Mesa works (bonus 50 hp with no melee equipped, +10% fire rate with dual pistols and +20% reload speed with single pistols) I think the best would be a solid bonus (50 or 100) on stamina when using only the melee weapon, then something like +10% speed with a type of weapon (longswords or nikanas) and maybe a crit chance or damage for another type of weapon, or a channeling damage bonus.

RahuHordika Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think a useful bonus would be an inherent longer duration of the combo counter before it resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMonkey Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 i was wondering if excal is going to have passives with his rework As much as I'd like to see him get some passive stat bonuses, I doubt it'll happen. Ember didn't get any with her changes, nor did Nekros. Chroma was also released without any passives as well (I'm counting the changing elements as a feature, not a passive bonus).

Chroma was also released without any passives as well (I'm counting the changing elements as a feature, not a passive bonus). that's bad logic, since mesa and zephyr got passives. it's quite clear DE will just decide whenever/whoever they want to have passives whenever they desire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMonkey Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 that's bad logic, since mesa and zephyr got passives. it's quite clear DE will just decide whenever/whoever they want to have passives whenever they desire How exactly is it bad logic? OP asked if Excal was likely to get passives when he's changed, and i pointed out that there have been 2 frames that have been changed since Mesa arrived, and started the 'passives' craze, and neither of them got passives. The odds are not in favour of Excal getting any either. ember and nekros were done before mesa was released i believe Incorrect. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/388964-update-1511/ https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/393115-update-15120/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, i know its a total rework, and i would totally like for him to have some passives, I just don't think it's likely to happen. If it were i reckon the Devs would've mentioned it, but as far as I'm aware they haven't spoken about passives in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)SkinnyANOINTED1 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Make him able to equip a melee in the secondary slot. So he would be able to switch between two different melee weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to bring along both a sword and a Glaive. Different weapons for different purposes, I want 'em.

(PSN)xX-GunHound-Xx Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 How about increase the time on his combo counter, and decrease the hits it takes to get a high enough damage multuplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawazat Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not too sure about that. When you look at the more recent videos featuring Excalibur he has Nikana and his energy sword won't be a Skana. its the Niskana! :D both are single sided one handed swords and i have feeling that the skana was DE's first atempt at a futuristic Katana. it just didnt have a sheath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNixB0SSx Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think the best would be a solid bonus (50 or 100) on stamina when using only the melee weapon, then something like +10% speed with a type of weapon (longswords or nikanas) and maybe a crit chance or damage for another type of weapon, or a channeling damage bonus. DE might be taking stamina out the game i like that idea about with the crit chance/ damage for a weapon, he could probably have it for sword weapons (since his main weapon was the skana which was a sword) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
