Magical Weapons

[DRepic]

What do you think? like a wand or staff?
Maybe wand+shield and sword+staff combination?

I wouldn't be against it, but I don't feel like it fits. While there's fire, lightning, wind, blast and all others in the game, they're more or less considered natural elements within the game. They're not really "magic" at least from the way I perceive the game presenting it.

I also think it would be a nightmare to balance. Monsters with high elemental zone values (tigrex comes to mind), would be completely destroyed by a simple "magic weapon" choice, so in turn would have to have their elemental zones reduced and punishing those that choose to use just regular elemental weapons.

Like I say though, I wouldn't be against it, however it would have to be very carefully implemented.

Considering magic doesn't exist in MH, you would be waving a stick in the air.

wands are just kinda guns for fantasy.

magic missle is a light bow gun, and fireball is just wymfire blast or w/e its called.

not really opposed but i cant see what niche it'd fill that isn't already covered by ranged

And heavy bow gun and light bow gun are literally the same thing but one is slower than the other and stronger than the other. Your point?

that they both fill is a niche and i cannot see what a wand would provide in terms of niche that isn't already covered by ranged, as i said.

What if there was a stick that had some sort of magic bug you could command with it.

Wait..

i mean thats not magic, you also control a dog and cat

the closest thing to magic in the series are the somewhat supernatural nature of elder dragons in which they can do outragerous things such as changing the weather, which is kind of handwaved away with being some sort of powerful energy.

By this logic, literally every weapon is the same as every other weapon.

LS is the same as CB, just one parries while the other blocks.

SnS is the same as insect glaive, one just can block while the other is more aerial and collects things

Dual Blades are the same as Bow. Just one has to play closer to the monster than the other.

I know some of the lines are very distant, but you get my point. Every weapon is designed to do the same thing. Stop the monster from moving.

And believe me, I'm not arguing for or against the magic weapons, I just think the argument you presented is rather weak. It can also be defeated with a simple "why add even more weapons that do the exact same thing?"

Please no, it's already deviating super far from it's natural and down-to-earth creature designs.

Spell slots on a cooldown maybe and you can cast ritual with monster parts to learn more spells each spell could have a different cool down and damage it does and let's say you can bring only like 6 spells in the Spells do refresh in combat but you can't spend them all willy-nilly and then you'll have your standard attacks which just do pot damage while you're waiting for your big spells

magic, nah, but maybe a different type of weapon, hell yes
