Hello there. Im wondering if IMCGames would implement more types of weapons in the future. Ive seen a few posts about the RO’s Assassin/Katar not being present in the current game and then I had the idea of creating this topic.
Weapons diversity in a game like ToS is something that I find very important, since you cant change your class costume(as far as I know at least). And everyone knows that there will be like 80 classes in the final version or in a nearby future, so lets say that I guess 50%+ of them will be melee weapon wielders. Here are some suggestions for new classes/new weapons or even weapon skins that I personally think are awesome:
Note that those are just samples/options. They can come in any size and shape and some might fit into the SAME category, but Im quoting them separately because theyre in fact, different weapons and they could be used differently or in different classes, or not.
War Glaive/Dual Glaive [one-handed] [dual-wield] [sword/special]
*Dual wielding characters is something I wish it was more present in the games industry aswell. Those kind of weapons, often called as fantasy glaives or warglaives are by far one of the coolest fantasy weapons there is(Not to be confunded with the real Glaives) due to its high attack speed and critical strike chance. Theyre often attributed to fantasy assassin-warriors or classes alike.
Twin Blades [two-handed] [sword/special]
Scimitar + Pistol [one-handed] [dual-wield] [sword] + [pistol]
*After seeing a little bit of the Corsair class, haha, I just had to. Pirates anyone?
Katar/Jur [one-handed] [dual-wield] [martial/special]
*RO assassins anyone? Those weapons were by far my favorites one there. They may not be the most useful assassin weapon, but theyre also cool-looking, and common, its a game.
Battle Staff [two-handed] [martial polearm]
*Normally attributed to martial artists, I think these fits perfectly to Monks and alike.
Battle Axe [two-handed]
*For Berserkers, this is a must. Sacrificing their defenses for more damage, those reckless warriors are often seen using giant blades or axes in the battlefield.
Giant Shield and Spiked Shield [one-handed] [shield/special]
*Who never wanted to go full tank once in a while? Great-shields, Tower-shields and Giant-Shields may require some CONS and STR, but they are awesome when equipped in a full-plate armored tank character. Who needs mobility when youre as sturdy as a rock?
Giant Sword [two-handed] [sword] [sword/special]
*Following the Battle Axe fashion, heres another weapon commonly used by those who prefeer offensives over everything else. Its heavy weight will require some extra STR/CONS points.
Katana [two-handed or one-handed] [sword/special]
Katana, Ogatana and every other variant is a must. Not only the Katana is one of the most letal swords out there, its also one of ppl’s favorite. While this exotic blade is equiped, it’ll benefit from your DEX points instead of STR points for damage calculations. Equipping it in both hands will add some extra damage.
Kusarigama [two-handed/both hands] (Kusari+Kama) [martial/special]
The Kusarigama is one of the less seen “melee” weapons in game. But its “shape” is something very interesting. Just imagine the skills that could be used with this baby.
Ninja Weapons(Sai, Shurikens, Kunais) [one-handed] [projectile]
Heavy Flail/Flail [two-handed/one-handed] [mace]
Whip Blade/Whip Sword [one-handed/two-handed] [sword/special]
http://imgur.com/YoQ6I1a
A sword with flexible whip-like blade that could have been created by the use of magic. Thats pretty much a fantasy weapon but its design is something I also find very interesting.
Guan Dao, Chidori Jumonji Yari and Naginata [two-handed] [martial polearm]
The chinese Guan Dao and the Japanese Chidori J. Yari and Naginata, theyre all cool looking martial artists polearms that again, could be implemented for Monks and alike.
Fist Weapons and Battle Gauntlets/Combat Knuckles [one-handed] [martial/special]
More weapons that could easily be added to the Monks arsenal.
Knight’s Lance [one-handed] [polearm]
Scythe [two-handed] [martial polearm]
Tonfa [one-handed] [dual-wield] [martial/special]
Kukri and Kris [one-handed] [dagger]
Those are all weapons I can think of right now. Sorry for my poorly edited images xD. So, what do you guys think?
