Amongst the Melee weapons in 40K the chainsword is unequivocally the most iconic. So it should probably be a quite good weapon. instead I would say I see almost no one using it. There is something decidedly lackluster about using them. Even if statistically they don’t seem that bad. I have done dece…

Dumb idea there’s no way fatshark will do: Light attacks apply 1/4th the effect of special triggered blessings.

I wouldn’t be opposed to blessings that specifically interact with the lights, especially if later down the line we get more chain weapons with similar behavior to the current chain axe where they could be reused.

Reginald a thought just occurred to me. What the hell are the Chaxe variants gonna look like when they eventually arrive? I have a sinking feeling that FS will just abandon the Orestus to give a less wonky and just all round superior variant at some point down the line that functions better as a dum…

Man I hope you can be a tester, not that it’s democratic but you have my vote. [image] Reginald: I mean, its pretty strong as it is I think it’s fine damage WITH thrust and Zealot boosts but needing thrust to make rev heavies worthwhile is dumb. I see the roles of the different attacks ideal…

It’s the circle of life. You also get the clubbing sound/feeling on the old chainaxe heavies too.

I guess I’ll leave feedback on the new Mk. XV Eviscerator here. Negatives Comboing attacks together feels very sluggish and clunky, even with the +10% increased melee attack speed talent. Comboing into the 2nd heavy attack feels terrible. A charged light attack will deal less damage to trash mobs…

current chain sword should be chain falchion, it literally has the same attack patterns on the heavies as the falchion on VT2.
