Game Mechanics Master Hive Weapon Diversity

The quest [The Qira Hive] introduced powerful pre-identified items since Gavel update.
Back then one could equip all four Master Hive armours as they dont had any restrictions.
As time went by, game is more polished, and Master Hive armours changed a lot,
eventually turned into what we know today, all of which specialized in many different builds (spellspam, tierstack, heavy melee, etc) but Master Hive weapons.

Currently Master Hive weapons are severely outshined by many different options that arent even mythic,
requires expensive powders in order to make them work, and are all specialized in spell.

My idea is add spell, hybrid, and melee specialized varient to each classes, and make them more stronger.

e.g. [Pristine (spell)/Chaotic (hybrid)/Umbral (melee)] Hive [Bow/Wand/Spear/Dagger/Relik]

I want them to actually live up for its challenge just like other Master Hive armours / accessories.

I mean the spear is pretty much one of the only decent spells spears for the endgame, pls add a yes/no poll so people can vote on this.

 

I may be wrong on hive weapons being underwhelming compare to other master hive items but its subject to change, and whats important is diversity, really.

honestly that says more about the state of other endgame spell spears than it does about how strong hive weapons are

No one really uses them often due to how expensive powder working is, and in most case scenarios other items do better which is really unfortunate.
If one can't buy better (non-mythic) weapon because desired item is too expensive, one can't powder hive weapon either.
At its current state, they don't excels at anything, but a filler item like oranate set.

Plus most builds focus on one or two things not generic all-arounds...
Sure, they are no where close to be 'unusable' but certainly underwhelming.

its okay Hive infused Dagger with all slots T6, dont cry its gonna be okay

 

I'd rather use Black, its cheaper, and can use master hive armours / accessories.

 

whoa so black is better, too bad i have no money to put powders again

 

i think theres a good point to be made- whenever an item is "generic" (eg morph, ornate, hive weapons, etc.), it almost always tends to wind up favoring spell-heavy builds instead of melee

 

I don't understand why you behave like that... triggered cause I said Black is superior? childish...

 

Im not triggered, i just have no money to put t6 thunder powder or whatever it is on there. you made it look worse than it seemed

i like this suggestion. I feel like it should really get a dps and buff to its melee. Maybe set all the weapons to a super fast attack speed, so in spells there is no difference but in melee it allows for cancelstack/rawstack
