Let's look at the possible damage types for a new weapon (no particular order):
Electrical: Infringing on pikemen. Between area attacks and damage types there needs to be some differences between the two professions. - No
Heat: I can see this, maybe along the lines of a sword of some type. - Possible
Kinetic: Already have it in the scythe. - No
Blast: Already have it in the Powerhammer. - No
Energy: Belongs to ranged weapons like kinetic does to melee. - No
Acid: Again, more of a ranged damage type, but still somewhat viable. - Possible
Stun: Everybody wants it, not everybody should get it. I'd rather not, but maybe. - Possible
Cold: My personal choice. I would like to see a medium armor piercing high cold damage axe, or something along those lines. There really isn't a good cold damage weapon in the game (only one I can think of is the riflemen's cold rifle, which is pretty much worthless) and there could be some really nice creativity involved with the animation.

Who wouldn't like to see a huge Mitsurugi Damascus blade type sword (a giant 2 handed curved sword/Dai Katana thing)

No we need to make a completely new kind of damage type, one that nobody else uses, kind of like the jedi are supposed to get a new dmg type.

Not sure exactly what your looking for in a new dmage type. they have it pretty much wrapped up with the ones we have. unless we start dividing we have(i.e. kinteic in to crush, slash, pierce) and even then you can't do that withall of them. not sure why jedi should get a new damage type either, it quite obviousthe saber should do energy damage, i mean what else could it be? Heat maybe, but thats about it.
