Facebreaking with Style: Melee skills and nodes should work when unarmed
|
Short and sweet, and something I've suggested in other posts but never as a stand-alone.
Simple suggestion: allow all non-weapon specific attacks to work when unarmed. Anything with the words 'with a melee weapon' or 'melee strike' should include unarmed, especially now that we have Facebreaker in the mix. It already happens with Elemental Hit, so why not the following? Dominating Blow Double Strike (might need a new animation, but still) Flicker Strike Frenzy Lightning Strike Would any of these be considered 'overpowered' if enabled for unarmed combat? Or would it enable really, really fun monk-style builds? And as a personal appeal, Infernal Blow when unarmed could also work. It wouldn't be overpowered and it'd be FREAKING COOL TO PUNCH SHIT UNTIL IT EXPLODES. __ As for the nodes, I think that the melee damage nodes (rare as they are) should affect being unarmed. Ideally I'd like those one-handed melee ones to work, but that might be a bit strange in the wording. Thoughts/ideas? If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I love this idea with Dual Strike: punching with both fists at once, now that is brawling!
100 thumbs up. |

I actually don't think Dual Strike would work by my proposal (one-handed unspecific skills), but the existing animation wouldn't look too silly.
So sure, why not add Dual Strike? Unarmed Double Strike with the current double strike animation would look really silly. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I've wanted this for infernal blow since before the skill was implemented.
I've officially got fixing the things stopping this from being possible on my issue list now. However, at least for the immediate future, I wouldn't expect Dual strike or double strike to be included, nor anything else that would require a new animation to be made (actually 6 new animations), because those take time. I guess we might be able to get away with reusing claw animations in some cases. | |
" id be fine with place holder animations, i just found these facebreaker gloves i got excited and was testing it out and sighed in disappointment when i couldn't use double strike |
