Melee Finishers And Return Of Charged Attacks

[AlienOvermind]

We all know, that Finisher are clunky — they "teleport" your warframe, they change enemy model's size. They are also awkward — those "dances" seem unnecessary when you need to just quickly kill some Lancer. And of course they are slow, very slow.

 

So, I have a thought: since charged attacks are going to return, maybe current finishers should be removed, but their mechanics blended with charged attacks? I.e. "Enemy open to Finisher" would be "Enemy, taking extra damage from charged attack" or "Charged attacks damage is converted to Finisher-type". Maybe old fluid charged attacks with Finishers' damage would be too OP, so I suspect that DE would need to decrease damage numbers on these "wannabe-finisher"-strikes. But I'm sure Charged attacks' convenience would make up for partial loss of damage.

I like finishers they just need animation tweaks.

Charge a attack by draining energy which stacks like 5 - 10 channeled attack into 1.
Dealing increased damage in a single blow.
