Maintenance discussion: What do you think the un-announced weapons will be?

[Ranmaru]

I'm guessing that it's going to be 2 pointless and boring Hunter weapon types, one Ranger wep, and one Force wep.

I want a saber. Simple as that. I like my gunblade, but I want that back. What ideas do YOU have for a 'fun' hunter wep?

[Ueno54]

Oh god this. Considering how much of an emphasis there is on weak shot damage as a ranger, we need something that's all about sniping. Give it a crazy low rate of fire, crazy high damage, but pin point accuracy. Fast rocket launcher with no splash damage, essentially. However, I'm not sure what the PAs would be...

Yes, we're already aware of the weapons via datamining, but there's no harm in talking about what would be fun to see there.

Sounds pretty abusive on bosses with weak spots the size of normal enemies.

anyone else thinking shields for force?

as for "fun" hunter weapons, how about bringing the slicers back. knuckles as well, but I think they already said we were getting them.

And rangers still need the laser cannon!

That's the point. Heck, you could even do something like make it deal 50% damage on non-weakpoint shots. They gave us all these weak points to hit, so why not a weapon all about hitting them or suffering greatly because of missing?

[Rei-San]

What I predict:

double sabers
T. Daggers
Shotguns
T. Mechguns
Wands

What I want:

Unique rares...

Rares that had their own special abilities, their own attacks (PAs if you will), and their own attack animation or projectiles.

If there is any instances of this existing in the game already please tell me so i can be at peace.
