Combined tomahawks?

[HumanSteak]

I know that was suggested already (or maybe even intended from the start), but I wish we could do something with these crappy tomahawks. Like combining all 5 to make a greater uber tomahawk that deals physical damage, that are actually on par or better than, for example, the bloodrinker since these are harder and take much longer to get/collect. Let's pretend all 5 elements nullifies each other upon combination. I just think it sucks to have to switch axes all the time for different enemies in the same room. That makes training axe really boring since the rare good ones (or only decent one) always have an element making them useless against certain foes. If I want to train axe or just use them as main weapon, I'd like to not have to use a rune axe or dark tomahawk to be able to hit everything without bothering about freaking elements and immunities all the time or hitting 10-12 times to kill a flayer...

I absolutely agree with combining the tomahawks, but I am not sure I want to remove their elemental properties. It just seems to me like it would be a better solution to just make a more powerful axe than the great axe with no elemental properties. It doesn't look like it will be too hard to implement, either. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7490

I would like to see players allowed to combine all tomahawks into what avacado calls a 'greater' tomahawk (that name should be subject to change), but I want to see one for every element. If a player wanted all five greater tomahawks he would have to collect 25 of them. That's a hell of a task and anyone stupid enough to want all five will have to be trying for a very long time.

As for what the combined tomahawks should do? I have one idea. In addition to making them more powerful it would be cool if they allowed you to summon a 'minion' of a certain element.

Hell yea, I R stupid enough.
And yeah, I like that idea better. If I want an "all around decent axe" I could just make a greater dark and everyone's happy and dances.

Repeating suggestions does not make them get applied faster.

I'm just trying to tell a bit of what the community would like to see in next patches and make sure it wasn't forgotten, sorry if it feels like I'm pushing around, it's not my purpose. To know that progress has started again is more than enough

I'd prefer it if the five tomahawks were combined to create a prismatic tomahawk which either dealt damage from a random element each strike or a mixture of all of them bundled together (with a random elemental DoT as well).

Tent, something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfYPFvozYc8#t=7m17s

Uhhh... maybe. Without the whole... everything... well, no, not really.

As someone who tries to main axes I support an idea like this but I do want to see the new axe first see how it works if it maybe fills the role.

I like Tentadrilus's idea and my thought is close to that. My thought is that maybe it could do dark damage and the DoT could be a random element. Just a thought though.
