(Add/Remove) Elemental Weapons

I'm sure this has been brought up, but the ability to have all fire sword variants of fire melee attacks, or all non fire sword (same with Ice Sword, Stone Mallet, etc) would be 👍

I think Captain Powerhouse mentioned in the Tanker thread that he considered doing just this, when concern was brought up about a possible T1 and T2 power swap in a Tanker's secondary.  Notably it would force Fiery Melee Tankers to use a Sword, which I personally feel is very restrictive in character concepts.  Putting my stamp of approval on this (though in the end I gave up making Fiery Melee work and instead going with Savage Melee)

Frankly, (and I realize this would be a huge undertaking), but I'd love to see sets that incorporate weapons in some attacks but not others, given the option to use or to not use said weapon across all powers within the set, (where applicable).  So, for instance, a psi sword option for all relevant psi melee attacks, an ice sword option for all relevant ice melee attacks, and so on...

Correct, which is what I'm going for as well 🙂

 

We have enough animations for unarmed and armed attacks that I'm sure could be used

Yes yes yes please! I'd love Ice melee w an ice sword out all the time! They might have to leave it out of a few attacks (frost, fire breath, mass levitate, etc) but it would help fully realize some concepts.

Crowbar or Rebar, cause there is a wrench.  Pretty sure some low level NPC like the contaminated have a thin bent rod of some kind.  Maybe some other tools, single hand hammers like a ball peen or clawed hammer.  Hmm, a concept for "Maytag Man"

If Valve ain't gonna give us a continuation to the adventures of Gordon Freeman, then by golly allow us to do so here in CoH!!!

I’ll take “non-weapon attacks” for 1,000, Alex.
