Lol solid argument
IMO, the nerf is not well aimed.
Iâd have changed the heavy moveset, so it isnât as effective clearing horde, getting rid of the infinite cleave + reducing damage might make the weapon have a bad feel to it, which should never be aimed for.
Have the alt-charge come with a cooldown. Solved.
RIP sharp shooter survivability against waves in T4/5. Solved yeah.
90 damage sword to kill waves of hundred with 200/300/400 hp and pieces of light armors where the sword without charge bounce.
Seriously guys stop 
welcome to the game everyone else has been playing , its scary i know but you will be fine , the power swords just been toned down it doesnt look broken and you have lots of options
Just stand incredibly still and they run past you or have you forgotten about grenades/block/push/dodge? Kite to your teammates? Or you can shoot them before they get close while dodging backwards. If you have 1 teammate helping you clear thatâs enough damage. Now add 2 or even 3, its trivial. The reason its soo strong is because you can do it all yourself with the alt charge.
I dont see your solution, i guess we can run in circles. wait a minute.
running in circles, it all makes sense now

Meh, i was using a combat knife anyways.
now you might have to actually use the crowd control shovel they gave you instead of mimicking if not beating the same level of melee effectiveness of actual melee classes with the push of a single button, oh no

If a weapon feels bad to somebody when it can still cleave ~10 enemies, they want to go play Diablo, not a Tide game. Thatâs still some of the highest (If not the highest?) cleave of any weapon in Vermintide or Darktide.

This topics is blowing up out of porportion just end it there. Canât be sure he isnt trolling
ITT: People openly and unironically demanding there be a weapon they can comfortably use on max difficulty without actually bothering to learn the melee combat of this game. Yo just because you play Vet doesnât mean you donât still need to be skilled at melee.
I started to lose my mind a bit when I got to the comments about how itâs unreasonable to be expected to hit heads with a perfectly horizontal swing⌠Surely at least semi consistently hitting head shots isnât a completely unreasonable expectation for the highest of 5 difficulty levels.
Can we just leave the highest difficulty for people who are actually looking for a challenge? The game in no way pushes you to play it for gear anyway. I donât understand the broad entitlement Iâve seen about this, as if beating difficulty 5 should just be the baseline.

Same here. combat dagger FTW.
Fast attack speed, Huge dodge distance, and down armored enemies quickly.
The combat dagger is probably the next target to cry nerf at.
Those changes do seem reasonable. Even with this it probably has the highest cleave in the game while the ability is active and nothing has been said on the stagger which probably still remains absurd. Might actually bother rolling better than 300 powersword now.

Nah the combat knife IS pretty great, but it has reasonable drawbacks. Itâs quick, mobile, and relatively target agnostic with good blessings, but itâs also extremely low cleave and generally low clear rate (even on crit Zealot) compared to most melee weapons.

I also feel like daggers rolls actually matter. Powersword could be almost whatever and it could clear 5:s.
+1 Stamina is also pretty annoying drawback for dagger in some instances.

Just reminded me power sword has access to infinite cleave on weak point kill blessing so nerf may not matter that much for well rolled power swords.

I happen to main the Vet, just as a side note even if I have gotten all the other classes to 30 as well during my time with the game.
Okay, so which is it then? Is the Power Sword mandatory for the survival of the entire class on Tier 4/5 or is it skill? You are contradicting your own arguments here quite hard, because if the Power Sword doesnât need a nerf, it means there is a weapon capable of doing its job to a comparable level, yet now that it is getting a slight nerf to its ability to CLEAVE, suddenly all survivability is gone from the class on high levels?
So which is it?
Ther s no contradiction at all in what i say, but if you think you have to nerf each weapon who are on the top list ( and let s remind it s a weapon classe, and powerfull 1 from 40k lore and FS must respect warhammer license ) lets nerf evrything.
Also ther s a much better weapon, flamthrower, each game with i saw a full decimated wave + specials and elite popup on the top right corner of my screan when the guy with flamthrower engage.
Buuut ok i m certainly stupid saying ppls are focusing wrong thing like lemmings.
To finish, i just done a t4 game and, hooo, mamaaaa, i couldnt at anytime use 3 charges of PS cause, it s bug as hell on the timer, 1 time you can chain 3 one other 2 one other 4, be serious just a minut guys, and honest, infinit cleav sucks ok but damages has been nerfed too cause some ragers cry on forums.
Anywya, now i wait for big flamer nerf, who kill full wave, elites, specials, deal direct damages, burn, pass through armor, stun, got big mag and ammo, aaaaaaaaaand does not overheaaaaaaaaaat
but ok power sword was more ope than that lol, you ridiculous 
And this is my last intervention in such c**cer community, i repeat a last time, FS should engage and pay for real testers, feedback are absolutly not objectiv
And pretty sure a lot of you didnt yet understand this is not VT, and you can be in a game with 4 sharp shooters with no real complementarity to deal with big waves etc.
I will also not answer to ppls trying to teach me how to play cause they dont know me and think ppls that argue are dumb.
By have fun !
