Btw @Nish,
I don’t see what it will change for the discussion that you have made 300k damages with an MG XII.
Maybe you can explain how it is important for the discussion about Caxe and PS?
Sure, I can see it was for you an event in your life…
But I will say it again, the question about the 300k was around Bolter and the fact that you can see 300k+ damages dealt often with players using Bolter (but Ogryns do it also with Cleaver, psyker can do it with a staff).
I agree with you… but I doubt they will change that as I don’t see devs coming back on things already done when they need to create so many new things… except if the said feature brings lot of problems.
I agree with you on this. When you can do high damages dealt, it is always cause you had a good team.
Again… what does it bring to the discussion… Maybe I am wrong, but my feeling is that it was for you an event in your life…
Let’s say it… surely there are people that can do more than 300k damages dealt with an MG XII… but how many can do that with MG XII and how many, in comparison, can do it with a boltgun?
Last question, why it should explain how the power sword is a bad weapon now?
I can agree here. However, to compare weapons we have to rely on something. Scoreboard is the only thing that gives us datas.
I can understand that you can deal big damages and also that you put lot of pressure to your team and, in fact, that you don’t play your team.
However, when someone cannot do more than 100k damages and when others do 2 or 3 times these damages, you know that this player has not contributed a lot to the mission.
When you always see same templates doing the biggest damages dealt… it means also something.
You can change… see the exploit I explained… exploit needed cause of a bug Fatshark did not correct in time.
No… the discussion had nothing to do with this 300k damages dealt…
The discussion was about the fact someone said that PS is a bad weapon since the nerf.
As I use it 95% of the time with my veteran… I must say that it is wrong. The PS is yet one of the best melee weapon of the game. Off course, you cannot use a PS like you use a Combat Axe, and even if the versatility of both weapons is similar.
You rely more on dodges with the PS. The PS need you spaces around, or you miss opportunities to charge the special. Off course, the lack of space is not forbidding you to charge it, but you usually get wounded cause the PS move is really bad.
At contrary, the combat axe needs you to aim for head (something you don’t really need with a PS), need to “dance” with the enemies and the excellent movement speed with the CA helps it, you don’t really need spaces around, and you have also a good number of dodge. CA is best at survability, however it won’t wipe hordes as fast as a PS can do it.
So what I say is more in shades than what several thinks. PS can do more damages than the Caxe and even without aiming and with the right blessing (PC T4) the weapon is a monster. However, CAxe is a really good weapon, versatile as is the PS, and best for survability. As a veteran, I prefer the PS cause I don’t play all the time in melee combats. As a zealot, I love the combat axe cause I need a good move speed and survability is the key for this class.
Let’s summarize… @Nish was really happy to share with us that, on something that had no link with the current discussion, he had proven its point. Sidenote: as explained in this post, my point was not really about exceptional performances but more about regular ones. But, this discussion was in an other thread… and about something totally different (we were discussing bolter)
Can you test seriously the PS? with PC and also without. When I say seriously, I want to say “trying to play it like it should, not like you would like”.
