Fleetwing Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 What many people missunderstand with the Bo staff, including you, is its a DEFENSIVE WEAPON. Its not made to run in and kill everything in sight. Its range is better than most melee weapons. Bo Staffs are usually used in sweeping twirls and rounded attacks. This. It's a defensive weapon and that was how I used it. I found it worked very well for that, too--some stun % buffs and it was staggering everything that moved. Once it got high enough level I could stunlock almost anything for long enough to make a kill. IMHO it's a great weapon for a caster-class or utility like Volt, Banshee, etc.; it gives that extra few seconds of breathing space even when you've been mobbed by enemies. As for sending bad guys flying.......try the Fragor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you the playstyle card. If this is what DE meant to do when creating this weapon, they need to change the description to be word-for-word the above quoted posted by Fleetwing instead of the in-game description below. A two-handed, reinforced staff, that can send multiple enemies airborne. Edited July 30, 2013 by PROteinxstack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1N33DM0N3Y Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 yeah realy the Bo needs a revisiting to compete with those orthos%&^s or what about BO prime ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takelon9 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Level it to 30 and put it away forever. I bought it the day it was released. I was sad to see how much it sucked. Got it to 30 for the mastery points and never used it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTrick Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 its attacks are klunky and weak :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Markie Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) The attack animation which you do to enemies laying on the ground takes TWO STEPS, it's too long and the second sweep animation DOESN'T EVEN DEAL DAMAGE I love the Bo very much, I really do, I'm planning to potato it right now, please fix it :c Edited July 30, 2013 by The_Markie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhakoon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 i love my bo, too. it is aesthetic, it is smooth, it is... shaolin style! i don't care how much damage it does, as long as i can stun enemies and let them take off. for me it is a purely tactical/defensive weapon and not ment to kill anything.

ProfessorMeeseeks Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 From what I've heard, the Bo and Amphis are essentially the same weapon. Although the Amphis is just a heavy version of the Bo. I loved my Amphis. I plan on using the Bo after I finish up my dark dagger. Might want to give the Amphis a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROteinxstack Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ok last post before I leave this for necro: Please DE, buff the bo to make it both utility, defensive, fun, forceful, and unique compared to other melee weps. Thanks! love In Christ! proteinxstack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I love the Bo IRL, the one in warframe is just sad. The strikes need to be 200% faster coming off both ends of the weapon for starts. Making a Bo slow is frustrating. The weird one handed "slapping" animation needs to go. Two hands on the weapon please. The charge attack animation should skip the standard design (more damage in a single haymaker) and go for utility (multiple knockdowns or a throw!) Last but not least, get rid of the slide-spin and swap it out for a vault using the staff (unrealistic? yes... Fun? Also yes!) Damage is crap, animations are crap, utility is done better with everything else in its category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XandoCalrissian Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'd like the Bo if it actually knocked down enemies as advertised like the Kogake and Kestrel do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PettiTheYeti Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Because Donatello, that's why. Michaelangelo. End of story. Speaking of which, why aren't there nunchaku in Warframe yet?

Relkin Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 -Most enemies were staggered not knocked down or affected by ragdoll although advertised by the wiki Wiki shopping ftw lol sorry for some reason this amused me greatly. +1 for reading the wiki though. I rarely if ever see the Bo which is a strong indicator that it's probably considered under-powered. I like the suggestions though, I'm keen on every weapon being viable given the asymmetry of weapon "progression" in this game by and large (primes & clan tech excluded) it doesn't make sense to have weapons which aren't viable.

BETAOPTICS Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah, in my opinion, something should be done to make it more viable option to choose. I like the idea of really giving it the ability it should have, the Kestrel type of knockdown. What I can not agree with is all the occasions you mentioned stuns or knockdowns, I don't want it to be over powered thanks to perma stun lockdown. Definitely something in those lines though.

ASH_PRIME Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 its 'knock away' effect is more usefull than ever in Infested defense against nasty Toxics than can pop the pod if they die too close and fart toxic gas all over it!But the Amphis has the same effect and is miles ahead in damage and also has a VERY usefull AOE shock effect especially when modded/formaed correctlyas for it getting a buff...i wouldnt hold my breath, i honestly have NEVER seen anyone use it after my first week playing months and months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
