Weapons need a MAJOR redesign

RonDog98

As it stands now I think that weapons and weapon trees in the game need a major overhaul.

If you have them on the auto attack setting they basically just feel like wow, and If you have auto attack toggled off they still offer much more.

This is made worse by the way the weapon trees are set up with almost entirely passive options. These would be great for a game like wow where your weapons are just passive auto attack sticks, but Ash’s is going for more.

Here’s what I propose:
Skill trees are forked based on whether or not you want auto attacks or more active combat.

If you choose the auto attack option you go fully down that route and your tree becomes much more about passive affects.

If you choose the action route it actually disables you from choosing auto attacks as an option, but your tree is full of options to actually change combos and finishers and animations to give it a much more dynamic feel.

Thoughts?

Uncommon Sense

It's a nice thought but its probably already asking too much. The combat system is essentially the GW2 hybrid system with a bit more pace and weight.

to much divergence leads to a headache of balance issues let alone the added development time to any already feature rich production plan.

I'm not sure if weapon trees might get a little more devoted to active playstyles. Fact of the matter is be thankfull you got the option for action combat at all there was pretty could chance during Alpha 1 and epoc feedback that the game would default to strictly TAB.

The game does not feel like WoW, it feels more like GW2 which is fine by me...
