For some reason the bonesaw has less cleave than the crowbar and the shivs. Adding that we have a chem toxin on crit talent, the bonesaw has no real place/identity at the moment. Crowbar has stagger The shivs have speed, mobility, and a ranged chem toxin special The bonesaw, while fun, struggles …

OH oh i misread it per current stamina not loss interesting, I’m okay for using rampage for now want my revive speed until free period and new hive scum is over than can min max

oh now that would be somethin i’d ask for

Can we also buff T Hammer shock and awe to the same duration as this weapon? I might at least consider it then.

Okay so after tesing the bonesaw a bit more here are my results: Push attack + heavy for mobbing (to skip the first heavy attack) Heavy + light + heavy for single target These work pretty well, but could still use a diff pattern for light spam.

The move set is just subpar IMHO. I could make do with everything else, but the move set needs an overhaul. It needs some wider slices to deal with hordes, and an easier time stringing them together wouldn’t hurt either.

TH’s problem is poor base/cleave damage. It doesn’t matter if you have a 40k cleave and no cleave cap if all you’re doing is hitting them with a balloon.

Best I have succeeded to do is with strength blessings. But shock & awe window is too short on TH. You don’t get the bonus. With strength you can succeed to cleave a little… but yes, TH does not cleave well, and that’s why we ask that they change also shock & awe on the TH.

Yah it has good swing patterns options for sweep vs single target once you get it down. Not the ultimate sweep but good enough. The First Heavy is also an interesting blend of a chainblade behavior having a strong stagger 2part attack for single targets. I’m also still not entirely sure what the…

brittleness

Fun thing is when you add brittleness AND toxin (that I prefer calling poison). There is a talent that permits to apply 1 toxin on a critical hit. So you can apply the debuff AND poison this crusher…

Understand that the first is the yellow and the second is the purple…
