Thread: New TKA weapon idea (Using special buffs in place of weapons)

In Shadowbane, the TKA equivalent is the Sundancer. Their weapon, when equipped, looks like a ball of flame encasing your hands. Its a particle effect, so its moving flame, not still. Looks very cool.


Some screenies:

Of course, there's nothing like this in the EU, but its not like this game follows continuity anyways. It would be interesting to have a power similar to this, acting like a buff that could change the damage type of your attacks. Flaming fists would be fire damage, icy hands could be cold damage, etc.


I like the idea of giving TKA an ability to use temporary buffs, similar to powerboost, that change our damage type, instead of giving us actual weapons. This is more balancing, as the buff would be temporary, would require you to be in meditation before using it, and could have a cool-down timer before re-use. And of course, they have neat particle effects around the hands.


Thoughts?
