Sharpened Blades (Glaive Mod)

Recommended Posts

Let's just start off with the point: I love the Glaive. I love the way it feels in close combat, and the way that it handles in general, but there is one thing that sorta kills it for me: The bouncing off enemies part. Sure, It's fine feeling when it just does a bit of damage, but when it kills an enemy and bounces, that just breaks it for me. 
So, from a purely gameplay standpoint (Because I have no idea how hard this would be to code), a fairly easy solution that can make people who hate this (like myself) happy, and keep the people who like the feeling of ricocheting their Glaive off of the fresh corpse of a MOA directly into the face of the Crewman standing next to it in the same throw, I suggest a mod.
This mod would add the passive effect of passing through the recently deceased, sort of like it did in darkSector, or like the Glaive acts on the way back.
Seeing as this was sort of hard to phrase for me, and I have no idea if I was clear, here's a diagram:

T-Tenno
E-Enemy 
X-Glaive Contact Point (For the sake of demonstration, enemies die from one throw)

Various lines- Glaive Path


Without mod:   T -----XE     E
                                  |
                                  |
                                  
With mod: T-----XE------XE
Thank you.

If I can add something to this it would be that the glaive also can steer a little in a straight path so it can hit other enemies instead of just passing by slightly. I like the idea and it being a mod is a solution for people that does not like the idea.

They have a mod in the works already, it was planned back in update 8.3.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1hoi25/unreleased_83_stuff/

Glaive Power Throw (for glaive): Puncture depth (1, 2, ...)

It may already be implemented into the game since the other 3 mods listed are in the game since update 9. Heavy impact, Sure footed, and Charged Chamber.

Like I said; darkSector. ::::P

I've been using the glaive for a few days, and realised that having it bounce from an enemy that a teammate just killed was usually 'undesirable'. I figure that having it pass through enemies that are already dead would be much better. Also, rather than puncture surviving enemies all the time, perhaps puncturing on critical hits only? Definitely puncturing on killing hits gets a vote from me.
