So the Hunting Hound looks like it would have been similar in concept to the insect glaive, but the Dog would be the primary form of attack, and the customisation options are far greater, I think it would have been really cool, and let's face it, we need more gunner weapons. I'd also like to know if the dog draws the aggro away from the player, because that might be a little OP.

The boomerang seems like it would be a combination between the bow and the insect glaive. I really like the idea, and it seems like a lot of fun. I could imagine this being used for a Lao (where you have less oppourtunities to get up close and personal, and more fighting from the battlements) or Yama (original tower version, not the FU one) fight, and being totally awesome.
