And still, I maintain decimator is the best strength blessing.
I have just made a game with a shovel that has decimator.
I made more melee damages than the zealot of the team. The worst is that my build was orientated ranged (revolver), not a single talent for melee.
Been doing some testing tonight. For me, decimator feels better on the shovel because of the horizontals and because I only pull it out for very dense horde. I can’t miss. On another loadout with tactical axe though I think headtaker is better because I use more vertical lights and the chances of a miss are higher.
Not testing with the combat axe yet but it just kills everything with headtaker so I will probably keep that.
Decimator is amazing. On a combat V axe with headtaker it’s ruthless. It helps a lot when menacing through hordes and comes in handy when repeatedly hammering the specials.
I’m actually going to change my stance - I still feel it should be less punishing to miss, but it does seem a pretty solid blessing in contrast to others.
