[quote]Praxic Blade Special Ammo Sword – Kinetic – Exotic
This is just meant to be a friendly conversation. I should just wait for reveal in a few hours, but I wanted to see if people are hyped for it now.
What is it going to do? We have seen it reflecting bullets in Theater Mode. Will that require sword energy or special timing? Will it require ammo? What are the limits of what it can deflect?
Being a special ammo sword, with the damage be garbage compared to the Mint Retrograde?
Will being Kinetic make it difficult fit into builds? Will TecSec armor make it amazing?[/quote]
I expect it to be very customizable in terms of throwing, blocking and melee attacking. Like you can’t reflect bullets if you crafted it to block.

That's good. I definitely feel like it will be a "get this at the cost of that crafting". I wonder if the blade is the color of equipped sub class or if Tess is about to get paid more than when Dre sold Beats.

The lightsaber has mod slots with one being a slot for the color according to gameplay.

With black being in the dungeon trailer for example, I could see that being the source for that color. Ornaments for the blade might include other colors, or it could just be the hilt style.

The ViDoc just said it was a Kinetic Primary. I thought I heard them wrong but the chat is going nuts about it.

Yeah. Then only posted this is because the ViDoc is pre-recorded and they are having a conversation about it. Either the blog post is wrong or the ViDoc is. Interesting.

Edit: it’s a special. That was quick lol.

Yeah that's good. If it was primary, it was going to be weak.

It seemed to have both lightsaber hit sounds and metal sword hit sounds. Which seems like when they showed off the glaive where it was using shotgun sounds and a bit of a unique one underneath. Hopefully this means it'll be fully lightsaber sounds especially since it sounds like streamers already saw most of what they showed in the stream which happened like a month ago.

Keep in mind the gameplay is about a month old since this is what the streamers were shown back in October.

News: Yes the footage was old newer versions exclusively use the lightsaber sounds

My college roommate was in the ViDoc. That was interesting for me. Otherwise all of these activity abilities could have been a subclass.
