Jebus I was about to leave when I saw the @ popup.
Honestly I really don’t find it THAT bad at all, it’s worse than the Paul sure, but L1H2 is quite respectable after the buff. I like the new club a lot and it pairs well with the Rumbler (which pairs well with everything in my biased opinion) which you can spam into thick hordes but I don’t even feel the need to waste ammo usually.
Side note: Dev also clarified that Rending on Rumbler and GGaunlet is actually Brittle debuff on direct projectile hit, which is a big deal.
But I think I read in passing you prefer +vs Ogryn Dmg which I personally find less useful than bleeds+DR, more so on the club, so bleed+bleed DR+Skullcrusher is influencing my opinion. Maybe if you’re using +vs Ogryn Dmg Haymaker is more useful for hordes?
With creature spawner mod it’s easier to test now, but I’m so so lazy atm.
