Flamingauss Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I can't be the only one that thinks this weapon needs a different firing and wielding stance. Like a mix between the punchy melees and the charge is a like a kamehameha, but instead of a full on laser just a bigger bolt....that esplodes. Please tell me there are works into making this not look like a throw-able secondary there's so much potential especially for what it looks like.

SurrealEdge Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Remember when the Jat Kittag used the same animations as a polearm? I'm sure there's something in the works to make it look and feel for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouseFur Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Essentially this would serve a better purpose as a melee weapon than a ranged sidearm? I totally would go for that, or at least if they had a "sidearm stance" which would influence fire rate/ accuracy or anything similar.... like how gangs would wield pistols compared to police (merely a comparison)... Generally the Sonicor just feels like a clunky solo staticor, and seems to do a better job at annoying enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly would work well. as both. Maybe there will be a variant that uses the staticor. IDK Just some ideas, glad I'm not the only one.

LouseFur Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Well... we went from ninjas in space... to deranged gunslingers that smack things with over sized swords, axes and hammers.... so why not add some "gunjutsu"? Make sidearms "melee-able"? or DE could create a frame whose abilities depend on the weapons it wields? That would be nice as well.. Though, tbh, I just want the option of choosing where I holster my weapons first. -.- WE need more ranged melee.... gunblade and whips.... what about laser staffs, rocket fists etc... DE, expand your horizons ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbhijitSM Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Before anything i think it needs a fix first. I hope DE are working on the issue of it firing blanks most of the time (host / non host doesnt matter). Once i was doing a solo mission when the stalker appeared & i was was doing 0 dmg to him with my ignis. So i switch to my staticor only to realise that it was firing blanks & ultimately die at his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouseFur Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Never had any issues with staticor myself... not with blanks anyway... but they do have a "melee discharge" mechanic that is kinda lame and ineffective. From personal experience, pure element weapons don't deal that well with some bosses... or objects... since they are not seen as solid, I guess (not 100% sure, but have had energy weapons fail on me in boss fights) I think one example is that some weapons don't charge Nova's AMD when you shoot at it... Regardless of the above, staticor feels underwhelming and really needs some attention... it also sounds horrendous when rapid firing, and the glare can blind you.

I love this weapon and yet it bugs way too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurrealEdge Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've only run into that bug whenever a host migration happens rendering it useless. I've put a couple of forma on it and was planning on using it extensively, but had forgotten about the bug after many host migrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lijka Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It is weird for me, because it seems so very random. Sometimes it bugs when I get downed. Sometimes just simply after switching weapons, but then another switch usually fixes it. On some maps it does not work at all and I have to die first. It used to bug more often when picking up power core for excavators or datamass but now it happens only ocasionally, which is an improvement. Also it has bugged on me on few occasions upon casting Mirage's ulti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamingauss Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Dang, havent had that bug happen to me yet, just got them and only have used them i bit. Nice to be warned though. I'm sure DE will surprise us eventually....they always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that it is still fairly new, it should be up there in terms in terms of priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case I look forward to what thay can do to make this weapon more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clonmac Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've never had a problem with it firing blanks, but I have discovered a bug. While in the Rift with Limbo, you can still melee and kill enemies outside the Rift with the Staticor. So you can stay safe in the Rift and kill enemies without worrying about taking any damage yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
