Holosmith and weapon choice
I start saying that heat system feel realy lackluster, having to regulate yourself with Photon forge mode and heat is crippling in my opinion (the cd on disengage could have been 3-4 seconds instead of 6, but wth since it works well with static discharge).
Then let’s get into the topich: Holosmith and the weapon choice.
Right now, sword is the only weapon which work with heat mechanism, having all the skill influenced by level heat. But I think that other weapon should be working with heating as well, like riffle autos getting the same effect as sword, #2 shooting an electrified net that stun for a duration based on the heat level, ecc…
I think having heat working with all the weapon would certanly making Holosmith more fun.
Any thoughts?
Good idea, won’t be implemented.
Other weapon/kits missing heat mechanic killed all my hype for this elite spec, which was my second greatest hype for this expansion (after Weaver).
I am actually surprised that some expected the mechanic to extend to the core weapons.
I mean, since we cannot use kits, it absolutely should, but this is what I expected.
Sticking with sword/shield, since I have bolt and flameseeker mostly but I like the sword skills and a kit can easily be ranged if I needed it. I do think they should have added the heat mechanic to the other weapons at least, I mean the Mirage’s base weapons got the ambush skills, I don’t see why they didn’t give pistol or rifle something.
do you guys think sword/pistol could work with holo? i actually like sword, but im also a fashionsmith and i dont apreciate shields making my character´s wings dissapear…

Nope.
It definitely can, especially in PvE where you may not need the utility of shield.
