So as an evi enthusiast i will share my opinion in giga post
I’ve test a lot of them, so far i like this one the most.
It is ok on hordes after a few swings when you stack blessings and feat effects but sometimes it takes to many hits to kill 2 dreg bruisers cause half of buffs are not activated, which feels extremly meh.
So some examples, with these stats and without buff stacks it’s like that (you can skip this part):
- Flamers, sniper, bomber and both shotgunners take 1 light shredd to kill
- Dog 1 heavy shredd to kill
- Trapper takes 1 light shredd in the head (not hard to hit), if you missed the head, there will be 44hp leftover, it will take 1 light to end him, sane for scab/dreg gunners
- Ragers takes 1 heavy shredd in the head or 1 heavy crit/ultimate to kill
- Mute takes 1 heavy shred+1light. Or you can overkill him with heavy shred+crit/ultimate
- scab gunner takes 1 light shredd in the head
-2 heavy shredds to kill maulers (body)
-2 heavy shredds+1 light to kill bulwark (77hp leftover)
So the main problems:
- if atleast some of your buffs are activated than you reach those breakpoints and… OOH EVI FOCKS HARD, most of the time buffs are active cause things are intense. But if not than there will be some miniscual leftover you need to spend 1 light atack more to end, it is where things feel both tedious in terms of gameplay and breaks immersion.
- You don’t kill things you can potentialy oneshot with heavy/shredd heavy cause it cleaves through. I kinda like that fact you need to use all atacks against different enemies, but than it need a bit more damge for shredd light.
-Dmg vs infested and unarmored sucks
And it is kinda paradoxical weapon, cause it’s better against blobs, especialy mixed, trashmobs help to activate your buffs and prevent evi to cleave through some elites like shotgunners/gunners.
Trick: you can catch mute and dog on the run with shredd, dodge+atack them while they are on the run, they will past through but shredd damage still be caused, this is how we are corrida in 40K (glitching sometimes after some patch)
