Combi stick has lower damage than the sword. It doesn’t need to be weakened. Sword just needs better tracking.

War club unable to parry, extra stamina recovery when hitting with the elder sword, stuff like that, then i would be more likely to use it, something special for the other ones as well that gives it a good reason to use it i suppose…? Just some thoughts, maybe a bleed out dmg effect? To smart disc?

Yeah, maybe a bit more impactful, but different effects like that go a long way. Hell like maybe even different stances for each weapon, that would lead to different attacks, giving us different ways to use a single weapon. But that stance idea would have to come further down the line, right now they need to fix all the bugs more than anything.

This is pretty much the root of the weapon balance problem. Sure on paper the combi-stick doesn’t do as much damage as the others, but in practice it will reliably land every hit in back-to-back combos while the other weapons flail about wildly and miss half their swings. Plus you can also throw the combi-stick for massive damage AND a blind, while the other melee weapons’ utility starts and ends at ‘hit people with it’.
I prefer the sword over the combi stick. However the combi stick is the only melee weapon that can also be used as a really good ranged weapon. This alone makes it more viable to take over the other melee weapons and nearly renders them redundant.
Curious, can the combistick be destroyed, like the disc?
Edit: Confirmed the combistick cannot be destroyed.
yea i got some, are they gonna use it? PFFFFFFFFT nahhh unless enough of us cry about it then maybe.
Idea for Elder sword:
Make it attack at the speed of the Trail combistick deal the same Dmg as the Wristblades ( pre attack ) and have twice the range of the Wristblades ( seeing as its a FUCKIN SWORD. i would hope that makes sense)
boom done it has its use now want something to push the shit in with? elder sword easy.
Idea for the war club: keep everything the same with only two real changes make it cost 25% of your stama bar ( for the hunter how ever way this works out for the other class they can work that out) but per attack deals 100-110 points of Dmg at that point the slow attack speed of this thing and how easy it is to Pray would at least make sense now. land a hit? = downd ( so long as you hit em with something befor hand) but no more then two hits should be needed to downd someone.
Idea for smart disc: bring back insta kill disk why was this op again? do you guys have any idea how easy it is to avoid this thing
you hear it so easyly
you see it so easyly
it has a timed flight time
if it hit something its stuck in place
AND its all inverted.
i think with all that its fair to give the predator the kill if he lands the hit ( AND JUST TO BE CLEAR not downd KILLED if you hit some one with the disc in flight it should KILL THEM not down them)
Hand held plasma caster: just flat out give it like 300 dmg if your with in lets say 6-7 metters of your target but the fall off drops so fast im saying like at 20 metters it should deal like 20 dmg that way it fits its role as the shot gun plasma caster.
BOOM just fixed all your items for you. but they wont listen to those ideas
I had a predator in a private party swear we somehow destroyed his combi stick. I tried to test but shooting it doesnt seem to do anything.
We estimated that it took somewhere around 20-30 rounds to destroy the disc, do you recall how much it was shot up?
No when we tested it to see if it was possible shooting at it did nothing. But he swore the round previously one of us destroyed his combi stick somehow.
I would make the combistick throw only. Like it vas in AvP 2010. Problem solved. Sword is pretty good. War club is total trash. Wrist blades are 50/50. My opinion.
so we would all take the bow because why would we pick de spear to try to snipe someone while it doesnt 1 shot and you need to recover it
I think we should take it a step further. Every weapon has a melee and ranged attack.
Throw the sword and club, less range than the spear, but give the weapon a much needed anti parry power. and you still have it pick it up. Maybe have the club be lobed, to hit someone hiding behind something, and maybe the sword has a curve to it, to snag corner hoppers. And the ranged weapons can be used in melee. The handheld can deal a bit more damage then the wristblades, but not have a combo. the netgun could deal less damage than the wristblades, but every hit resets the breakout meter. And the bow could deal good damage, but you do still use arrows.
Or at the very least, have the shoulder cannon usable with the sword and club.
I use the spear for throw only because of the masive damage. Most of time im not cloaked. So my predator is not doing any clicking noises. I just throw some bear traps. And then bum spear to the head. And just camping with bow on downed player.
