Pinkspawn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Since Concealment Operatives almost only use their knife, I have a suggestion. Dual Wield Blades, so you can dual wield two knives and run around and stab people. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzoong Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) I`ll repeat it until it sinks into the woodblock on your neck: Use that gun, really, use that gun, especially in pvp use that gun. Edited April 27, 2012 by Bazzoong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrivers Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 While the /agent legacy emote shows off two blades. I think one is enough. I wouldn't be opposed to them adding more close combat abilities though. A standard knife attack other than Shiv would be cool so we don't stand toe to toe with enemies shooting them in the face whilst getting hacked to pieces.

A standard knife attack other than Shiv would be cool so we don't stand toe to toe with enemies shooting them in the face whilst getting hacked to pieces. Yeah a knife-version of RS would be nice (free, low damage filler) - but when my melee abilities are on CD and I have no TA I rarely stay in melee range ... kiting out to 5 - 10m and back in again when Shiv / BS is off CD saves quite a lot of damage from other melee (and just generally annoys the hell out of them ). Just remember to keep Sever up, and if you're fighting a Jug/Mara and see them back-peddle, chase them or drop into cover because a charge is coming. In PVE I stay in melee unless avoiding damage, and even then I try to strafe around the boss rather than run away when possible - so there the free knife attack would be pretty awesome. This might actually be a nice way to boost our damage slightly in PVE scenarios where we spend a little more time off-target than the other melee classes. Although personally I don't think we need it (or a gap closer), since as many have pointed out we are able to put out significantly more damage at range than the other Melee classes (OrbS / EP / CD / buffed Snipe / RS). RS alone is something like 600 DPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkspawn Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Some of you think I mean like not having a gun at all. That isn't what I meant. I mean giving you another blade for your melee attacks. You could still use your rifle, but you just had another weapon to stab people with. Personally I think it'd be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyshoot Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 As much as two knifes would be semi cool i.e. reminds me of my assassin in EQ2 I actually don't think it fits in with the Star Wars theme. I know that sounds a bit cheesy but I do want some immersion.. light sabers were seen as outdated in Star Wars (of course not in the skilled hands etc etc ) but two knives?? Yes.. Yes.. I know no one could go invis in Star Wars either but two knives?!?! Mmm... doesn't "feel" right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuautehmoc Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd rather have a bayonet attached to my rifle than dual wielding blades. Seriously, who wouldn't wanna skewer someone with their bayonet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicklausE Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I would really appreciate them letting dual wield blades, for concealment oper's. No one is saying to not let you carry a rifle, but depending on your spec I think I should have the option to run with two blades. All they would have to do is add one instant attack w/ no CD to replace your rifle shot as a filler ability and keep the rest the same. COOMMMOONN DOO IT! My oper would probably become my fav class to play out of all my char's if they did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorash Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Personally I would rather our attacks look different then a boring animation of slashing with a blade. I love the scoundrel attacks because one is a shotgun, another is a punch, while all of ours are just hitting someone with a blade. Like another poster stated I would love an attack that uses a bayonet for 2 reasons. 1) It would feel like our blaster rifle serves are purpose. 2) Our animations look different.

Max_Gambit Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 no thanks, but one thing i would like would be a pistol instead, either remove the pistol from our cinematic's or give us the option to use one XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheCannon Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Where am I acquiring the third arm with which to use this weapon? :> ^ this. You're holding a rifle for your Overload Shots, Carbine Bursts, and any Snipes you may care to throw out there. It's easy enough to whip out a knife without dropping the rifle and use it, but two would be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
