A thought on Double Sabers...

[Zyrusticae]

...What if they transformed into twin sabers?

I mean, gunslash has two modes, right? Melee and ranged. Double sabers and twin sabers are basically the same thing, with double sabers just being twin sabers fused together at the hilt. So what if "switching modes" on the double saber just detached the two sabers and turned them into twin sabers?

I could see the PAs for this working in two ways:

1. Like the gunslash, double/twin saber PAs would have components that used double sabers and components that used twin sabers, or

2. The PAs would actually change based on which mode you are in; in other words, double/twin saber PAs would be a "two in one" deal, giving them tremendous versatility in exchange for the inability to Just Guard.

I find the idea rather exciting. Of course, chances are they'll just go the easy route and make them work like every other Hunter weapon (RB/Shift to block/parry), but the fact that this is even a possibility makes me a little giddy. I do wonder...



...Oh, and while you're here, have a video!

That would be cool ;o

[Carillon]

so... perhaps they're intended for a melee class that can't just gaurd?

intresting, intresting.

I'd be ok with that idea.

Hell I'll end up using double sabers regardless since best weapon type in the series

This is actually an idea that I've always wanted to be implemented in the PS Online games. So many Twin Sabers already have DS versions with the same blades. So why not be able to seperate them? The idea I always liked was having DS' be more geared for Crowd Control, with slightly less speed but better defensive maneuvers. While the Twin Saber is faster and more geared for single target/small crowd control with higher damage.

I would love it to be honest, because the above is how my character is supposed to fight exactly. I doubt it would be implemented, unfortunately.

Colaya called it months back. We'll see if he was right.

....I actually like this idea. Now I am kind of wishing it will happen!
