Help! Unique Weapon Set Ideas and help requested to make it happen (Evil Shit Inside)
|
Currently I am using a facebreaker char. I am enjoying it, but thought that its missing something. I idea for a great unique weapon would be Brass Knuckles that work only with the facebreaker gloves. As the gloves already are a super powerful weapon, the only uniqueness would be that using the empty slot for the weapon you can't use, it allows you to now use gems that need a weapon to work. Shield Charge and the like. No sockets, no modifies, just the ability to use melee gems. But to prevent facebreaker from being too powerful, limit it to level 50 and above.

You can still use shield charge while using facebreaker. You can still use a shield and be considered unarmed.
Other weapon skills can't work with facebreaker for balancing or animation reasons. My Keystone Ideas: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/744282 Last edited by anubite#0701 on Nov 6, 2012, 10:49:58 PM

All very good ideas but let's keep things as close to my original idea as we can. I need help with the story and perfecting the idea rather then having completely different things.
There will be a BIG event held soon that will allow everyone the chance to get there own ideas heard. ;p "Bullshit, you get the game for free." - Qarl 2014

This is the sort of thing I'm getting but needs work. I'm using Reaper as a filler because it's feeling very much like a living death motif and it's your items. I'm definitely liking the feel of things sculpted from the body of a monstrous necromancer, more death than living flesh.
Dagger: "Torn as a grisly trophy of the Reaper's power unending, Death crawls through these fingertips sliding into its victims softest weaknesses" Bow: "Wrenched from the core of the Reaper's body, bound with the muscles which still twitch with the ghastly remnants of undeath this bow shrieks as it sends death through the skies to its victim's hearts" Axe: "Fused in the cauldron of bile, fire and hatred, these bones are welded together by the remains of the Reaper's power carving death into the victim's unfortunate body" The Dagger seems like a hand with the three middle fingers together. The thumb and pinky could be either twisted in or severed at the second joints, whichever provides more flavour. To make it long enough for a realistic dagger blade you're probably going to need to either stretch the bones in the hand artificially or use the whole hand as the blade, with a hand's worth of the wrist as the hilt. This needs to have a heartbeat pulse of energy to remain alive, following the veins and flowing down the blade. The Bow basically writes itself as I have there. Spinal column sewn with thin ropes of muscle which twitch sporadially since we need reminders these things are alive in a wretched form of existence still. The Axe is tricky. I'm not sure from what you've written if it's 1H or two. Either way, I see it as made from the leg fused up into the Pelvis where there's a natural Axe blade shape from the hips. If it's a 1H, it's the femur fused into half of the pelvis and sharpened. If it's a 2H, you extend it by fusing the knee joint as well and waving around the full Pelvis. This one is the easiest to have decaying flesh hanging off in strips or chunks from the remainders of the leg. I hope this helps inspire you and your artist friend. |

I thought about what could be a mod on the weapons...
"The weapon craves flesh" what if randomly, the weapon says, "I hunger..." or what ever, then 1 second after, the weapon involuntarily attacks in what ever direction you are facing for a fairly large amount of damage. This could be a downside, perhaps if you are running away from some mobs, but could also be controlled, because the voice clip would act as a warning, giving you a (small) chance to prepare yourself. It would also fit the theme pretty well I think. The weapon craves flesh, and occasionally lashes out uncontrollably against the wielders will to fulfill its desires. this attack might also drain some life or mana? you decide Reaper "sound clip 1" the dagger, could lash out in a very quick succession of maybe 5 short range slashes, (perhaps 2 double strikes) it would be cool if you moved forward with these attacks though, standing still would be a little lame. instead of a voice, the bow could make a gross fleshy twitching sound the bow could either fire a single powerful shot, or an irrgular split shot maybe supported by multi projectiles...Or, either attack could proc, at a 50/50 rate, adding to the unpredictability. "sound clip 2" the axe would have an aoe attack, perhaps a high damage cleave, supported by additional aoe. sweep would also be cool, maybe GGG could make it function with a 1H axe. The attacks would have to be BIG, and high damage, but rarely occurring, GGG might even chance they way the skill looks (like how Brutus' blood wave is a fancy looking ground slam, I think) the dagger, has a single target attack the axe, an aoe and the bow, both maybe? sounds good to me Idk about you guys, but I like this idea, weapon in control of the player... >:) Heres my take on an axe, themed around flesh and bone it could look a little darker and grimy

" No, Shield Charge does not work with Face Breaker. I have tried three separate builds now and not one of them is able to use Shield Charge wearing the Face Breaker gloves and unarmed. And yes I have a shield, but I can tell you for sure that even the Shield Charge gem states its uses a melee weapon and unarmed (while a fist is still a melee weapon GGG!) will not work with it. |

" On the unique item Malachai's Simula it's flavour text says... Malachai fused part of his soul into the lifeless husk, creating the first of the eternal guardians. so regarding our flavour text, we could probably avoid the mention of 'soul fusing' instead perhaps, 'person X's' malice and evil still remains in his dead bones, and ancient flesh. And we could leave the mention of souls out of it. also " Unique item Darkscorn, has 25% physical converted to chaos, perhaps a more unique main attribute would be more interesting Last edited by Jazzo#2834 on Nov 8, 2012, 6:11:45 PM

Very interesting idea. I think it would be fitting to have the weapons look like they are made from bone or flesh. Considering the person these weapons were made from was some dark and evil lord or so, I would think the weapons would also have a dark and corrupted look to them.
