Chaotic Dreams

Then forget the proxy, just do a stick.

If you want more coolness +detail. Then I suggest that you look up the cermionial staffs of those ancient kung-fu masters. They got those cool looking staff heads.

But it would really hurt the balance if can can do more than be a stick.

I like the idea of a staff weap. Lool at my earlier post:

Go Proxy Pimp Cane! Make it a sword cane too! IT Slices, IT Dices, IT Blows your head off, and looks stylish with a suit! See the wonder of the Proxy Pimp Cane!

As for the damage problem here goes: Staff can:
A) block at longer range
B) have continual block of melee- directional and not applicable to gun weaps
C) with blade at end can still headshot but perhaps requires a heavy stance circle swing leaving user open for a little bit circle swing only works when going forward and dodging to one side to make more difficult, but causes user to move in a small arc on ground. really these things only work as stabbing weaps in RL cause usually they are not balanced like a bo.

was that english just then

Sorry If I could not be understood. I had had a really LONG day and my mind may not have been functioning properly... if it ever does. Want more explanation for the earlier post?

Compared to other weapons, the great advantage of a staff is that it not only has good reach, it is also very light and can be swung quickly. Most melee weapons that can be swung far are also very heavy and cannot be swung quickly. A staff may not be able to slice someone in two like a gigantic axe, but it can smack them back, push them, gouge them, trip them, and offers greater control and better swing recovery than a heavier weapon. With a staff, you can attack with a decent range without opening yourself up to a counterattack.

Staves have plenty of advantages, and those advantages are the reason they are so different from other weapons (also the reason it was difficult for me to make them work in rune -- I had to get pretty creative with my attack animation selections)...

Excatly! Which is why it'll be uber cool!

Well,it would add alot of variety as a non-bladed weapon

Actually It looks fine
Cause it is a MUG and hence can look remotekly like a MUG which in turn resembles a can

Seriously t looks fine although its functionality is limited

Well, If we do any New weapons then We will have to make anims for them. And to be honest there are a few that i think need some tweaking too. Not to mention that the Templar could use its own set of anims.

Is the templar really longer ranged than the bastard? It doesn't feel like it...

With its own set of animations, maybe it'll be more powerful then...

both swords are pretty deadly with the stab technique... I think the chaos team should just work on perfecting the current set of melee weapons before applying any new items to the mix.
