Gauntlet Combo (New Idea for Devs)

[Winterwolf]

So, I had a bit of a wild idea for the devs on how to make comboing gauntlets even more interesting.

What if you could activate Primary and Secondary fire (The main attacks for both gauntlets) at the same time, do a brief charge up and unleash a combo spell that is totally different in how it would normally function if you did it separately.

For example if you combined Fire and Lightning, you could get an electrically charged fireball that when it hits its target would explode with lightning and apply the shocked effect.

Maybe your ice lance combo'd with Toxicologist would leave behind a poison trail in its wake?

Or perhaps your wind shear has some bits of rock in it that would do some sort of knockback/knockdown effect, knocking people from the sky so you can pound em on the ground.

All sorts of way to combo the different elements into spells with new effects and slightly higher damage than the original versions of each by themselves.

My small brain can’t understand but it sounds frikin awesome

Lol. Well the game Fable 3 might give ya a good idea of how it could work.

In Fable 3 they had spell gauntlets as well and you could pair spells together to produce new, interesting effects. Like Fire and lightning, you could basically blast out a fire nova with some electricity from the heavens. or throw an electrically charged fireball.

It does not. You have to spray the ice patches to turn them into poison trails.

What I mean by that combo idea is that the ice lance itself leaves behind a poison trail instead of an ice trail if you choose to combine the gauntlets powers together. Basically you are shooting out a poisoned Ice Lance instead of the standard ice lance.
