Misty Mountains Speculations and Questions

NoldorSithLordsShipwright:
Given the "picked up" and worn out nature of the troll's weapons, I think any weapons it uses should be abilities.

Toggle Melee/Rock Throw
Chain whip: high knockback AoE, single use ability
Hammer/Tree Trunk: high damage AoE, timed ability, mutually exclusive with trident
Trident: high damage single target, timed ability, mutually exclusive with hammer

I also have a proposal regarding Smaug, but I'm thinking I wait 'till we finish this line of conversation.

Walküre:
Too much weapon choice could be counter-productive for the purpose, given the natural scarcity of forged mighty weapons that belong to the Goblins. In my opinion, that pick-up motive could be given life by means of a temporary ability, via which the troll picks up the trident and hits the target; according to the film, that trident was not a possession of the beast, and so implementing it as a toggle option might go against this relevant aspect.

Julio229:
I like the option of making the trident temporary, as a brief switch in the Troll's role, but I'd say it should only be available with the requirement of Bolg or the Moria Chieftain.

AulëTheSmith:
I agree with the idea of a temporary ability :) not as toggle weapon. I misused the term "switch". I can exclude the chain, mine was an example to better understand that the improvisation is an intrinsic characteristic of the cave trolls , at least concerning the movie :D. Julio I'm not so convinced to link the ability to Bolg. Because we cannot call it exactly an "upgrade" (as for example happen with the trolls of Mordor).

guys, As off-topic, but related to MM as well. Speaking about my personal taste, the design of Giants from vanilla is a bit weird, in my vision they need a rework. I just think the same about half troll, and if I'm not wrong the team removed them and also the spider riders because they don't fit for the new MM faction (totally agree with that).
Maybe I'm I too sticked with the traditional form of mountain Giants, the original one coming from Norse mythology (The Jötunn race). There is very little amount of material from the Tolkien's lore about this matter. Ah, just to make it clear from the start: no stone Giants from the movies, I agree they don't fit.

Walküre:
I'm glad that a temporal ability sounds as a good solution. Even though I'm not particularly certain that binding this feature with something else would be appropriate. It is still supposed to be a loose possibility of the troll, isn't it?
