#How do you feel about lasers... or EXPLOSIONS?!

Okay, no explosions here. But I do have some thoughts about lasers!

Was looking at the Staff armory item, or rather what isn't yet -- and wondered, what could it do? A day later, I was dreaming up possible Skills for it to have, similar to Bow.

Tri-Shot
A trio of small lasers, all fired in a straight line directly in front of each other. A simple pew-pew-pew to pile additional damage on to enemies.

Homing Shot
Two homing lasers, fired from the same point as the extra arrows from Parallel Shot. These home in on the nearest enemy. Either instant or gradual homing tracking would look cool.

Big Shot
A larger, concentrated blast. Fires for 0.5 second, dealing damage every 0.1 second. (Cooldown: 3 seconds)

Each of these would only be triggered when arrows are fired. Same soul reward as bow, half damage. If either Piercing or Electric Arrows are equipped, the lasers take on that property as well.

conceptually awesome

Mechanics are very similar to megaman / metroid and work well in most similar games - but please don't let it be Lasers. It could be Spells from the books or Manifestations of the Ghosts.

I don't find the Image but the merging of modern technology to a medieval setting is not uncommon but unsettling ..

tech? Laser beams from magic staves?

#

(I mean, your ideas also sound hella cool tho)

When i first saw tri shot i just thought of oh
They just made bow but its faster and deals more damage

Until I saw the last 2 I can just imagine you being so close to kill a giant but you jump over it, then homing shot procs and kills the giant behind you

Last one reminds me of a Giant gaster blaster from sans in undertale lol

I'm begging you
I wanna hit enemies with the malevolent kitchen rage mode

#

Bro, Gojo's rage mode would be hollow purple evoli

#

Okay I think we got away from the idea

#

I feel like lasers would feel a bit weird which new things often do
I'm just wondering how much these lasers would like, make bow skills less useful to eveb useless

hence the 'half damage' and 'take on the properties of bow skill' notes
was thinking that any damage dealt with the Electric Bow on would also trigger the small 3-damage AoE that Electric has
Piercing would function as usual for the tri-shot; maybe homing shot would be able to hit a 2nd or even 3rd target and the bigger projectile would deal damage to both HP and Armor simultaneously since it's piercing by default.
was hoping it'd make either of those Bow Skills a bit more desireable

A nice synergy between them
I like that a lot
