Thats a good reply Slash.
GK is replacing every aspect of Slayer. Have you even played GK and Slayer for at least 200 lv?
wot. thatâs not the case at all

Bretonnian sword is not his highest armour damage imo, Exe sword and two handed hammer outperform it super hard.
I cannot stress enough how much I hate the 2h hammer, and I find Exe sword lacking in comparison to Bretsword in terms of attack speed and I like the parry on charged attacks.
You hate it that much, that doesnât mean itâs not incredibly strong in killing elites.
Maybe it does, but it sucks so much in all other regards that it makes it completely worthless.
No it doesnât lmao, it has incredibly strong hordeclear as long as you aim for the heads, with incredibly strong elite damage too back it up, it only lacks in defence, which means you need good positioning. Itâs one of the strongest weapons in the entire game on GK and Merc.
The hordeclear cannot be as good as any other one of Kruberâs weapons. The only horde clearing 2h hammer has is headshotting with slow, heavy attacks ; which by my definition is everything but âincredibly strongâ, specially when compared to, again, any other weapon.
Hereâs a video off me using Executioner and Bretonnian shield on Grail Knight, as you can see, itâs quite effective with the right positioning.
As much as i hate showing the scoreboard too show how effective a weapon is, it is a decent way off showing the hordeclear capacity off a weapon.

I think he was talking about the 2H-hammer
Just to show the argument chain. The video may be nice (havent watched it) but it uses the wrong weapon. I think the confusion started here:

My bad, i should have paid more attention, L.
I think that overall heâs pretty good, i play him with mace&sword+exec sword with 60%stam regen+60%blockcost reduction. The only thing that feel underwhelming, imo, are his ults. The boss killing one seem fine but the other two option are meh.
The mouvment speed one can be useful but itâs just an âextraâ witch means you can do just as fine without it. The horizontal slash has some good stagger but damage wise itâs pretty pathetic, it cant kill more than 3 marauders and is on a such big cooldown. Only the killing boss ult seem to be pretty adjusted for a 40 secondes cooldown.
The horizontal Slice is a very good option, because it allows you to get rid off elites/ specials inside a horde, It makes up for his weakness. Itâs a tradeoff between boss damage and a safety net.
Does it really do this though? I admit I havenât played with it extensively, but whenever Iâve used it it feels its cleave is nowhere up to the job of standard horde density. Throw a few elites in there and I tend to find it just staggers maybe half of whatâs in front of me and kills barely anything. Are you aiming high to try and snipe just the elites without losing all your damage cleave on the horde?
Maybe Iâm just using it badly, but Iâve found the horizontal Ult extremely disappointing in all the situations Iâd most want to use it.

I donât know, i feel like if iâm in such situation where i have to use my ultimate as a stagger tool iâm probably already screwed. What I mean is that the animation is a bit too long to use it as a reliable stagger source against close encounter with speicals. Thatâs why i prefer running 60%stam regen and spamming pushes.
You should usually have enough damage to easily kill 1 or 2 elites/specials in a horde with it. it also cleaves zerkers quite well.
Itâs not really a stagger tool, itâs more about the cleave for elites/specials. the stagger kind of sucks. But this is something you can only really figure out on your own, if your going to run it in a game, try saving it for when thereâs elites/specials in a horde.
but whatâs the point of cleaving if your ability damages only the 3 first targets. I think the only scenario where the horizontal slash deals more elite damage is against SV and monks/zerkers, otherwise the dual ult deals/kills more targets.
Iâm not sure, but i think it hitâs elites first, even if you arenât actually hitting them first. at 8:50 in the video, you can see it easily cleave through a bestigor, and some enemies. and at 13:20, it cleaves through quite a few rats before landing on the SV, but it still kills it.
