Mandiblasters, how do they work?

    Everybody has their own linguistic Achilles heal.
  2. I believe the best utilization of Mandiblasters would be to fire in Synchronicity with the Pistol and simply increase its damage output. No extra buttons required, no extra planning/combo, just melee as you will and gain that damage bonus.

    This is so weird, third twitch stream in a row and they won't even say the word "mandiblasters". Well, no harm in trying.

    What if they worked like tracer's pistols? Low magazine size, high rate of fire, low accuracy and wide spread.

    Well according to the below the SS has all his pieces.

    So that's probably why they don't answer your questions about mandiblasters, because you don't read the updates. But that's boring, so I drew some comics about what the mandiblasters could do based on this thread.

    I'd like to see it add to the melee weapon tier during d-bash. The striking scorpion is currently stuck with a chainsword (scorpion claw pending) so it would be nice to have the ability to counter say, a powerfist successfully.

  6. Haha nice.

    I do believe that the Banshee is far more a ninja than a Scorpion. A Scorpion is much more of a brawler. Better armor, less speed.

    When everything else, in theory, is worse, then theoretically the better idea is the best one and should be tested to prove its superiority.

    You know how people find out about science and the truth/facts of life we currently live by? Theories.

    It isn't harassment when all you are doing is making yourself look like a retarded jackass.

    I am. Should means what should be done as in doing anything else will result in less than maximum potential.

    It would be best to work with melee and not the Pistol, as the Mandiblasters are supposed to be an addition to the Striking Scorpion's melee combat. Just melee as you will and the short cooldown ability fires when ready/applicable.

    Which is why the Mandiblasters should be able to activate from actions like blocking or performing a D.Bash, allowing you to both attack and defend at the same time.

    Scorpions have infiltrate and stealth, I definitely see them as the ninja of the group. But you know, opinions differ.

    Edit: @Zaeryn Ha ha, I just read retarded jackass and I started laughing.

    Why would you antagonize that person? And why would you use such juvenile language? Just don't interact with him if you don't think he has any merit.

    As far as the striking scorpion vs banshee ninja argument. I think that the fact that banshees yell so loud it causes neural damage makes them moderately less ninja-ey.

    I hadn't seen that. That is pretty shitty. I guess that means that it is just going to be some useless piece of wargear rather than an integral part of the character. They really missed the mark on this character.
