Combat axe gameplay/advice?

I’m no zealot expect. But for almost every weapon on zealot I would recommend you try it with FotF & martyrdom first because it’s a good generalist melee setup. If you don’t like it, then try FotF & IJ next. I would not recommend blazing piety unless you particularly dislike both of the other keystones. The rashad may not be super slow, but piety has a very noticeable lack of attack speed compared to the other keystones. This limits its usefulness on things that aren’t like tac axe/knife/DS speed. Also, be aware that FotF is bugged atm and interrupts heavy attacks when you use it.

I guess I’m thinking more about Havoc 40 breakpoints since I rarely get 1 shots on scab gunners/ragers with heavies, most of the times it’ll take the same amount on weakspot light attacks

Awesome thanks. I’ll give it a go and see how it plays

Rashad needs a buncha AS and dmg/str to shine, and will be hard carried by BM. Vet has finesse and crit, neither of which is particularly useful for.

Taxe7 with unarmored / flak / carapace is the single best generalist melee atm, you can slot into just about any build. It’s an okay to good weapon by every metric, without particularly shining at anything. You can stagger dreg ragers with its PA, which can come very handy on backline.
