kelika2 Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Tier1 - Gambler's Slice - ranged, minor, two ticks Tier2 - Air Cutter - Medium damage ranged attack, uses sting of the wasp animation Tier3 - Ruthless Impale - high damage attack that uses Assassin's Strike animation, chance to hold Tier4 - Venom/Poison blade, basically fiery embrace but toxic damage. Tier5 - Lotus Drops Tier6 - Soaring Dragon Tier7 - Throw Katana, uses Cimerorian Spear throw animation, can be snipe Tier8 - Vacuum Slice ranged cone attack that uses flashing steels animation Tier9 - Dragonfly but taoe like Battleaxe's attacks 1
OEM61 Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Makes sense. I mean, not sure what all powers/animations might be the 'best' choices for Katana or Broad Sword, but I agree with the base concept. I'd even add Staff to the list. One set at a time, but it feels like it could be a Dominator kind of weapon. It could certainly be used to enhance some wizard concepts.

Lazarillo Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Small point of note (though it might be seen as a reason to not do this?) is that Rebirth has a "Ninja Assault" set that incorporates the Katana. FWIW, it's laid out like: t1 - "Flashing Blade" - Throws a dagger, normal t1 ranged attack t2 - Gambler's Cut - from the Katana/Ninja Blade set t3 - "Steel Wind" - Throws a fan of daggers, ranged cone t4 - Soaring Dragon - from the Katana/Ninja Blade set t5 - Chi Strike - Like Envenomed Blades from Martial Assault, but energy damage instead of toxic t6 - Scorpion's Sting - Throws a dagger, same animation as t1 but does more damage + DoT t7 - The Lotus Drops - from the Katana/Ninja Blade set t8 - Caltrops - from various other sets t9 - Golden Dragonfly - from the Katana/Ninja Blade set 2
TygerDarkstorm Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 I'm sure it'll need to be tweaked, but I like the base concept. More weapon assault sets for doms seems like a good/fun idea. 3 Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620 I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂 Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster

Whatever arranging of powers and/or which animations they choose for the abilities is whatever, but the core idea seems good. 1
biostem Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 You could combine the various "ranged slash" animations from claws focus and shockwave with katana animations, for some of the attacks... 1
TheMoneyMaker Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 I think staff fighting would lend itself well to an assault set. If I'm not mistaken, at least one or two of its attacks have some range to them in the melee set, and if it's only one then add a little range to a couple of them, maybe replacing an attack with the spear throw attack using your weapon in place of the spear. Or maybe make it Spear Assault where you have have some thrown spear attacks and the remainder are using your spear as a staff-like weapon.
