Lightning claws could be easy to add.
The weapon at its core is just a claw attached to a power fist, and it is not always worn in pairs. So it could be added as a power fist variant. But how would it stand out vs the normal power fist?

I say faster, and more cleave, but have worse charge attacks.

Thoughts and opinions?

Not saying no for more weapons, and maybe even have single and dual wield options for different classes?

More chance for them to add Power Axe before lightning claws i think.

Althought Lightning Claws would be cool. Maybe make it the unique Vanguard melee weapon.

The point of lightning claws is that assaults use them, specifically those of the Raven Guard chapter.

i'd say that claws would have to be dual wield, exclusive to assault and feature mobility in the moveset, like chainsword or knife do, but to an even larger extent.

I´m also thinking that Power Axe comes first and maybe Power Maul/Crozius shortly after should they add a Chaplain as a new Class.
And for the Power Axe they could use SM1´s moveset and executions as a basis.

Single or Dualwielding Lightning Claws would be rad though.

but there is only 1 chaplain per company, no? and i don't think we're going to get our hands on leandros in this game.

could they? it's an entirely different studio. i don't think that saber has access to relic's internal assets from 10+ years ago. or you mean just try to copy the moveset by looking at it?

As a sort of inspiration, how it can look like.

assault with dual lightning claws would be awesome, i would gladly trade ranged ability for more fluid melee dervish. wont happen, though.

power axe is most likely to happen. Crozius, if we get chaplain class, which is likely to happen within couple of years at this rate.

would we get lightning claws, though, single-hand version, it would be about as fast as combat knife? hard to make it too unique though, most likely identical in use than chainsword. executions would be bloody awesome though, would bet.

realistically, considering the effort required to make a whole bunch of new animations and what weve gotten so far since launch. we would probably just get a claw skinned power fist with the exact same move set, but different stats

Not a bad idea,



Also, vanguard already has access to the knife so it does not need a speedy weapon, but giving the claw to assault and perhaps bulwark would give them a fast attack option. That is of course assuming they make it a variant of the power fist.

bulwark has power sword which has more speed and range than any other weapon in the game, especially with relic fencing which is BIS power sword for bulwark

termis are meant for cqc, or if you a BIG DAWG and can just wear a set at all times

there isnt a single combat area in this game that exceeds 50 yards in visible sight-line, id call that cqc

seriously, think about it, when was the last time you got into an actual ranged engagement with the enemies in this game without having to enter melee once because you or they closed in? the answer is never for me

plus i can think of a dozen situations where a cyclone missile term would be very helpful
