Y geno no take good banter? i vas clearliez making jokz about half damaz and le blizzard.
But fr, maraca and burrito deserve loves. make em 13;) someone on the in game forums even suggested that lel.
Hold up, speaking of which- you should buff up the default dagger. It's like le same as a fist essentially.
All I'll say is that the effects don't make an item any better other than the confusion. Even then it's kinda debatable... like slowness is just a nuisance but anyone who knows how to circle can easily counter act that(melee wise... in a gun fyt it's pretty useful)... and burn is really only useful... sike it's not useful. There are two times when a melee is actually better over a gun. In melee spar(duh) and base rushing.
Don't look at them as if people would PK with them. That's silly. Even I don't do that. It'd be much more beneficial to have the weaker effects like burn and slowness just be replaced for pure damage. Yea it makes the game more boring, but those effects are really useless. Slowness, as I've said, is just useless for melees as even noobs know the circle-go-through strats. Burn is really only useful that first hit. Afterwards it does nothing as most melees would still take 4 hits(5 for plebs). That straight up does nothing when you spam twice per hit.
The only effect that has ever been useful for melees has been the confusion, and that's simply because people didn't know how to counter it at first. Most people who I would consider great at melee spamming can just circle around like mad for the gains.
If you're basing the sabre as "low" due to it's zc price, you should do so for everything else. Because by that logic, the black friday hammer should only be at like 11 since it's way cheaper than all the other 12 dmg weapons. Do not limit it like that because of the player base. It's worse than some holiday mels...
Also remember that a sabre is still the most expensive melee in gralats. In fact the 20K gralats would be like 1k ZC still... so ye.
(oh and is the third Streamer the blue one? should be more dmg if you're putting auction melees at 13 with effects...)
