I had an idea for an Arc super the day before Witch Queen released that I decided to flesh out in my free time. Let me know what you think.
Arc Spear:
Throw your Arc Staff to deal head on damage and create a Arc shock at the point of impact. Discharge staves to transfer energy for a higher damage attack and increased thunder blast radius.
Damage per shot: Approximately 75,000
Spears: 6 (8 with exotic chestplate)
Total damage: Approximately 450,000 (600,000 with exotic chestplate)
Base cooldown: 10:25
Charging up your spear transfers damage to the currently held arc staff. This means no matter how many staves you throw, you will alway do the same amount of head on damage. Only when a staff hits 0 damage will it be negated from your "staff inventory." This means you could potentially discharge a staff to 1 damage and still throw it. You will know when a staff is discharged because it will turn black and your Hunter will twirl it in their hand (backflip), recharging the staff. Once you discharge the 5th (or 7th with the exotic chestplate) staff, your character will twirl the staff (frontflip) and call the player to throw it. If the staff is not thrown within 3 seconds, it will explode and backfire on the player, dealing 75K damage to the user, stunning them. In exchange, the last half second of the countdown (the staff will turn red) will add 50% of the total damage to the attack (625K or 900K with the exotic chestplate).
On a controller, use RT(R2) to toss the staff; this is great for throwing other walls, as it arches downward when thrown without aiming. LT(L2) aims the staff, and LT(L2)+RT(R2) throws the staff with great precision. Hold RT(R2) to discharge the staff.
Do you like this super?
Now what is this exotic chestplate I've been talking about?
Javelin Harvest
Armor Perks: Uncanny Spears
Gain 2 extra spear shots for Arc Spear.
Lore: This chestplate was found by merchants in the Last City after the Taken attacked. It found its way to the Vanguard, and eventually you. There's a message that came with it.
- The Last City isn't where I'm meant to be. Zavala doesn't understand this, and insists civilians remain, but I can't stay. I MUST find a way out. I know exactly where to head, too. I've heard alot of chatter about the Vanguard pulling out of the Tangled Shore. I'll head there; maybe the Spider will help me. I overheard Lakshmi-2 conversing with the darkness. That should give me my window. To the friend who finds this message, my name is no longer... (The rest is torn off, but you find a name written on the inside on the back reading "Splicer")

1 ReplyHear me out. Synaptic spear from the seasonal activity becomes the hunter super. Only things that are different are: -no tracking -bit more damage -charge shot -only 1 blink instead Boom. New hunter super that wouldn’t be hard to code (it’s basically a javelin and a synaptic spear combined). The other super can be the whirlwind guard arc staff.
