GinKenshin Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 How Tenno, I was on FB and saw a post from the WF page, it's about the new weapons coming with TWW. There was what it looked like dual sidearm shotguns, awesome There was a shotgun primary, great! And there was a polearm......Again I don't know if DE knows this, but there's like 20+ melee classes. Maybe it's because polearms are easier to come up with, or they're saving something special for other updates, or because the new grineer guards use a polearm (didn't look closely, but they do have a weapon that looks like it) and even if this weapon has a very awesome mechanic, all of these I'll personally disregard because this is just getting boring We got like 5-6 polearm this year, although they're good and have fun mechanics, the stances are just too bad to even use the class. There basically the same. I know DE said that after TWW they'll maybe work on a new polearm stance but it's still boring getting more and more attention to a specific class People say "just spam the quick attack" but that's boring as hell, I mean stuff like fragor p, galatine p, nikana p, these wouldn't be fun and powerful without great stances to back them up What do you think guys? Are you gonna still use this even if it's melee class is totally boring or just gonna go for the maybe new mechanic or good stats? Thank you ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Vauban Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well what I'm thinking right now is that it seems to have insane range itself already, combine that with primed reach and you will have cleared 3 tiles ahead of you with one swoop owo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirukaChan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 5 to 6 Polearms this year? We only have 7 Polearms total, and the only ones that came out this year are Sydon (regular and Vaykor) and Lesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genitive Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I really hope it comes with a new stance. Otherwise I won't bother, the current stances kill polearms for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickshotMcGee Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I actually like polearms. At least it wasn't another machete or dagger/dual dagger, which are actually pretty useless (aside from CL on daggers) and have no good stances whatsoever.

Gelkor Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I hope they keep making polearms. Eventually they'll have to make a crit polearm. That's all I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormandreas Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 There's akimbo pistols. Not Shotgun style, just semi-auto, as they are described as being sniping pistols. The primary is a grenade/missile launcher of sorts, and yes, another polearm. I would think the polearm is more for the grineer aesthetics not really for giving us more weapon types, as its used by the main guard of the twin queens, so it looks more royal guard esc than a piddly little sword or a pair of fists.

mrrobotto67 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hopefully that polearm has some kind of passive (like the lesion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvorax Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) hopefully they will actually LOOK and REDO the pole arm stances...they suck :| oh and that so-called shotgun primary looks more like an explosive shotgun than a normal shotgun.

Gremlin Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think it's fine considering it is the weapon of the guards. Wouldn't you be more disappointed if they put it in with the guards, but we didn't have access to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzeputt Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 We still do not have a true crit polearm (Tipedo counts as stave), if that one comes out you can shelf all other crit melee weapons. (and I will move heaven and hell to get it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to spam click it very carefully for the flow not to be interrupted. Some polearms are pretty good quick-melee weapons though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuri99 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well I kind of have to disagree. I find the polearm class of weapons (especially with the shimmering blight stance) to be the most fun weapons in the game. They have good range, really good damage, theres a variety of them allowing you to make elemental, status, or crit focused weapons. That said, if you believe that we could use less polearms and more weaponry that puts different classes of weapons (machate, single sword, etc) more in line with the large variety polearms present then yes Ill agree with that.
