Do you think Wukongs Staff Range needs a buff ?

[(PSN)Akuma_Asura_]

I feel like it does but besides that I've been loving his kit lately . Headshot showed me there's more to him then just defy 

[HyokaChan]

Have you tried equipping Body Count?

have you? It doesn't work on his ult last time I checked.

[HyokaChan]

It apparently used to. At least there's still Drifting Contact.

The thing is that it still lose to orthos prime when it comes to range 

[Noobverest]

Yea I think it needs a buff.

I prefer orthos prime and Secura lecta over wukong melee

[(XBOX)PompousNinja156]

The biggest mistake was having the staff grow based off the combo counter, do the bandaid mod method of fixing the combo counter Instead of what common sense dictates; buffing it to 15 seconds by default, then intentionally disable that same bandaid mod for Exalted Melee, therefore dooming Primal Fury to be worse than just equipping Bo Prime with Primed Reach and Body Count/Drifting Contact.

It's easily the blandest Exalt weapon. Excal has blade waves and auto-parry. Valkyr  is invincible with lifesteal. Titania gets mini-Archwing mode. Ivara has the multishot bow which can change the angle of spread. Peacemaker trades movement for ramping damage and status/knockdown resistance.

Wukong gets a stick with less range than a normal melee weapon. Whoop de freaking doo. It really needs some gimmick or mechanic to set it apart.

Which has been confirmed a bug by Megan.

Back to where we started.

[(PSN)Tenchi145]

Wukong needed this buff the moment he came out for the same reasons. He slipped on the nerf hammer so hard it even broke his staff on release. For PS4 tenno it was a full update cycle before it was even usable and even then it was outclassed by plain orthos. Mod interations with staff are stupid. Sorry I have to be blunt tonight.

Stretch, Overextended, Cunning drift: Lowers the number hits in the combo to get to max length.

Reach (Prime): Determines Starting Length.

Neither one actually dictates the length unless you count reach as it just adds on to the starting point, but the range mods do absolutely nothing for it. I was crushed when I finally played with Wu and he felt so lackluster. I mean you created an alert only resource for a frame that was locked behind a 9 and a half day timewall only to finally get a broken frame. If I come off salty so be it. My boy Wu needs some more Umpf in his kit.

They fixed that.

 

They fixed wukong so hard his staff range was nerfed from what it was on release here.  It used to get quite a bit longer too.  Not as long as the china version but it was still fun...  now?  Lol.

 

Wukongs Gimmick, the main powerful ability is nothing more then a weaker, SHORTER Orthos.  A STANDARD MELEE WEAPON THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM BODY COUNT.

...Ok, very.

[-Akeva-Banshee-]

They might need to change its stance and remove the ground slam. Or just give it better suited Ult combos. 

[LordOfScrugging]

I would love for wukong to get some QoL improvements. His staff should get a bit of a range buff, not as big as the china version, but a bit more than he has now. Combo counter should be buffed up to about 10 seconds at base. Exalted melee should get a couple seconds added on, depending on the weapon (excal gets 5 seconds totaling 15, Valkyr gets 2 seconds totaling 12 and wukong should get 2 without his passive being taken in to consideration)

[(PSN)lhbuch]

I agree as well. Not only reach but damage and combos should be better. It is better to turn Defy on and go with a strong melee.  Less energy drain and you will hit harder.
