Storm Hammer
Tactics/Survival weapon
Press repeatedly to swing an electrified hammer(same speed as nutcracker), doing a 3 hit combo. Hold down the button for a second, then release to throw the hammer, causing it to spin back to the thrower upon hitting a wall. Electric shock from weapon lasts for 3 seconds.
Legendary affix: Thunder Strike
Each target hit is struck by lightning, damaging in an AOE around the target and above the target as well.

Correction. For a case like marvel they have a trademark on their specific portrayal of Thor and Mjolnir. If you make a version similar to how marvel made them then that’s how they can get you on that. But if you portray them differently then there are no grounds for you to copyright stricken.
The concept of thor is public domain, nobody owns that. And it would stand to reason that his hammer would also be public domain.
cunning coral
what if public domain put a copyright on it
i know its not possible, but what if
vital kayak
If this portrayal of the hammer is distinct enough from any trademarked version then this is a fine concept
Which, at least from what I’m able to see, seems to be the case

I mean Disney did try to copyright Day of the Dead when they released Coco so we’ll see how long that lasts
vital kayak
That’s because Disney is insane when it comes to copyrighting stuff. No other sane person would try to copyright a holiday, it’s an insane prospect

It would be cool to see more electric weapons
I mean, I know the reason there aren’t that many is because electricity is pretty fuckin cracked
But I do want at least one electric melee weapon and to my knowledge they are currently isn’t one

Electricity itself isn't that powerful

Electric whip?
Does it not count as melee?
That is very dumb to me. Why is it not melee?
The other “whip” weapons are melee so why not electric whip?

It shoots like a little electric projectile

I think the logic behind it is that its not a physical thing but instead lightning (that also homes in on enemies around you)

Electric whip?
I actually forgot about electric whip but its on a very fine line
vital kayak
It makes no sense that it doesn’t count as a melee weapon. It has the same effect as the other whips and they are all melee weapons so why is the electric whip excluded

its not a whip thats why
its some magic that looks like a whip
native olive
yeah, seems to be a whip by name and nothing else
and I guess pure tactic weapons aren't ever melee to my knowledge
alpine horizon
...so, from what I am gathering, the opinions of the Storm Hammer are positive?
native olive
I'd like to see that idea in-game, yes
alpine horizon
Awesome. I'm glad to of thought of it.
surreal bronze
I like that it's tactics survival

I had a thought. Any ideas for what the legendary affix should be?
I was thinking of doubling the shock duration, but that seems kinda boring...

Hitting enemies causes a lighting strike similar to lightning rods?
alpine horizon
Hmmm. What effect would that have on the enemy? A small AOE of electric energy on each target struck, damaging nearby enemies?

It’s not only by name. It has an effect that, as far a I am aware, is shared by only whip weapons and the legendary symmetrical lance, the ability to pierce shields.

Same way a single lightning strike works on lightning rods. Damages in an aoe and along the strike above the point of impact
alpine horizon
Interesting. That sounds like a neat concept.
You want me to make it official and edit the post to include it?

wrecking ball pierces shields
machete and pistol pistol pierces shields

Correction, I think I meant the effect of “Ignores shields” that is actively listed on weapons.
It is on the wrenching whip, velemont whip, electric whip, and the legendary symmetrical Lance in some form

wrecking ball pierces shields

Modification long since finished. I do hope that the devs would consider this idea.
native olive
It's a possibility at least, I think the devs might've been influenced by the suggestion for Reaper's sprint with the most recent mutation
