So i have a few ideas for new categories of weapons (idk how this hasn't been added yet)
( 2 dashes -- equals category one dash - equals sub category)
--Swords
-2 handed swords
i feel like there should be 2 handed blades and that some blades should be made 2 handed how would this work? let me explain.
Basically you would be slower with your weapon swings but you would do more damage the downfall is that you wouldn't have a sheild.You should still be able to block though just not as long also your movement speed is slowed.
-Short sword/dual wielding
Now i know a bunch of people have wanted this before but it should honestly be a thing here's how it should work.
Your attacks are a lot faster at the cost of weapon damage the swords in the striker line should classify as this blocking is minimal thing also your movement speed is sped up.
--Axes/Hammers?
-2 handed axes
now lets say you don't implement 2 handed SWORDS well why not add a new weapon type that is meant for it. 2 handed axes would behave basically the same as 2 handed swords except with a bit more reach
if not axes how about 2 handed hammers? i honestly think there is a lot of design and potential here and could give the game new life.
-1 handed axes
These would do less damage but can be thrown from a distance returning to the owner after the hit they would be in between fast and normal attack speed
--Lances/Spears
This might be stretching it a bit but how about a weapon that's just meant for more range i know guns could do that but they wouldn't have the knockback also guns are meant for LONG range lances would be more medium ranged allowing players to jab at the monsters instead of getting close and slicing. (I honestly think that the lances with a blade at the end would look a lot better like in fire emblem)
Well that's it really i'll let you guys decide the rest like how the damage would work and such this is just a idea a seed but the question is will you plant this seed? keep in mind i don't think you guys should HAVE to do all of these i think you should do at least like one of them a lot of fans have been waiting for something new something fresh well that's all i have to say. -Pix
these have all been suggested before, in much more detail, and in much better grammar
look them up on google (the built in forum search is broken), its better to necro and add to an old thread rather than to make a completely new (and completely redundant) thread
