Its kinda boring to be able to only use lightning staff - why cant we have melee heavy attacks the same or similar way to get more variety?

    There should be 2 bleed ticks for duals/2h after heavy attack.

    I'm actually surprised that martial melee doesn't have an inherent bonus to Heavy attack damage over the ranged counterparts.

    ... how does one channel a melee attack?

    I'd get it if your melee weapon is a literal chainsaw, but I'm just wracking my brain thinking of how one can realistically do a constant-stream attack with daggers, swords, and mauls.

    It would also be great to add a switch for bow attacks that allows you to hold an arrow on the bowstring.

    I had kind of wished flame staves had a channel lock on like lightning, but heavy attacks would need more buffs. I'll just beam baby beam, easier.

    Hopefully you'll get your wish with some new weapon like lance or something instead of ruining already existing heavies

    I don't see where this could be useful outside of questing.

    HA from melee sustains stamina, while classic HA builds rely on class/subclass magicka skills and class passives. You'll simply run out of magicka quickly, especially in solo play, unless you can find a real deal stamina skill replacement.

    But, to be honest, I would rather use Deep Fissure over Noxious Breath
    Fetcher Infection over Poison Injection
    Polar Wind over Vigor
    Structured Entropy over Blood Craze.
    EleSuscept over... hell, there is nothing even close to this in stamina
    etc.

    Works in monster hunter

    Im just bored of lightning only...then make 1 of the 2h for example the axe that no one is using channeled or ticking for HA

    Honestly i like heavy attack builds as an alternative and were getting more and more options and sets for them but its ONLY lightning staff... making 1 of the 2h weapons an alternative seems like the best option - how im unsure - but why not? More variety and 2h axes arent really used...and them being some sort of channeled / ticking (bleed) weapon makes kinda sense....

    It would be nice to at least have flame staff be channeled like lightning staff. I guess ice staff should be included but I never use those.

    no i mean when they attack you see that a heavy attack tics / connects several time even if its just visually (its very subtle) but it portrays that feeling of impact...often seen in asian games
