You should because the weapon favors having high numbers of charges. It isn’t the end of the world to run low on the bar, but you get a 50% boost on 6 charges iirc and lose 12.5% per charge. Its on the bottom of the screen too, that sword icon with a number next to it shows your charges. But unlike relic blade/power falchion there’s no way to idle the sword, and you actually lose bar for whiffing swings, so a meter would be a lot less practical than the current system. Like telling the difference between 3/5s charged and 1/2, way more of an issue for the mechanicus sword than power falchion. But how would you even work it anyway? Charges aren’t restored or spent partially, its like a 6s delay before they start coming back at a set rate.
Hey URKA! I work less on this end of the business these days so I’m not the best person to reach out to to pitch a change, I recommend @FatsharkQuickpaw whereas for any bugs n technical issues I recommend @FatsharkLev <3
btw yea they should really do that.
mod created to counter this issue, where if you active the special attack, you can have a text whenever your special attack is active on screen as text, which is customizable with text or symbols to make it more cleaner, and color and font and size etc. and when the charge ends, then the text disappears
there are some other mods where it highlights the weapon in the hud whenever the special attack is active though so it kinda does the same thing but in a different way
