Just make Void gauntlet a melee weapon

[dr.nukenstein]

Simple solution for complex problems related to being a primarily ranged weapon with a melee secondary mode

90%+ of players with a void gauntlet already have a ranged weapon equipped, and everyone with one wants to use the cool protoss blade.

What could the void blade ability be replaced with? An ability that coverts it into a ranged weapon that throws “void mortars” that apply disintegrate in an aoe.

Remove disintegrate from melee attacks, add disintegrate application to skills

What would happen to harvest essence? Just drop it, the CDR is going away next patch anyway.

Then we can have the 300con void blade meta of our dreams.

I mean I’m down for giving VB grit at 300 con, but it def isn’t the most popular choice of VG users, as it typically is a support weapon

[Trufitus]

id gladly use a void blade for tanking in pve if grit was an option, that thing has mad utility

This please. The mechanical details of how we get to grit working with void blade don’t really concern me, just getting there one way or another.

Thing is the support stuff like disintegrate, oblivion, scream wouldn’t be going away. It would just primarily be a melee weapon so it can benefit from melee weapon scripting, and so these support players have a reliable CQC weapon.
