The veteran's power sword is too powerful

Video proof or you are BSing.
Hammer doesn’t need to aim for the head for one-shot kill bosses.

Video proof of what? Which items? Do you see how much data me and the team have collected? Look. I don’t waste time with lies, they’re a curse that harms all of humanity. This is my testing protocol. I explain it in detail in this video. My data is extracted from that testing protocol and provided in earnest.

You can reproduce it yourself if you want. If you get different results than I do go ahead and provide me your data and I will add it to my sheet, or better yet join the testing team.

That is not proof, I want to see a video of Power Sword Two shooting Crushes in Damnation mission.

Well, that’s something. I for sure feel like it’s a lot easier to manage horde with those weapons than using PS where it’s really easy to f up when situation is not ideal.

Also I do have PC4 on my PS,

I’m not against your number or anything though, I’m bad at math and mostly decide by my feel instead lol

Absolutely, 100%. PS is much harder to use. Of course if you take slaughterer you can always slow down on powered attacks and just focus on using it like a sword and it is still quite strong into hordes. But catachan is much more forgiving on vet and has its value.

That Sedition meat grinder, not Damnation mission.

no, that happens in damnation.

It only has brutal momentum 3 on it, but has 10% bonus weakspot and elite dmg.
Also, 25% melee finesse talent, and ogryn damage talent.

Even a Chain Sword is better horde clearing than Powersword in Heresy or Damnation missions as it has Higher base damage than power sword without charging up.
In missions that have Waves of Elites and Specialists Charging the Power sword in the horde will get you killed.

nice combo

I know you got all your data to back up the highest dps weapon and all BUT do you have a good dodge count, a stagger jab or parry?

ya, it’s a good way to hide the fact that it takes more than two swings also they miss out on the part where they select damnation conveniently.

Are we seriously discussing nerfing PS again? In a year old thread?

But sure - feel free! Nerf the hell out of the PS - I don’t care anymore. Stopped being a fun weapon when the swing count was reduced to one so sure go on. Chainsword is in a good place now and very 40k - I stopped using the PS a long time ago.

cringe. He has two wounds. At worst he is doing it in heresy but it has 3000 HP which is damnation.

Incredibly inaccurate take as proven already with raw data.

Its literally the best horde clear weapon in the game right now and can thunderhammer crushers. So…maybe it shouldn’t do crushers quite that hard. But that’s really it. I am still in the rework not nerf camp.

I sure hope not I want PS buffs because I dislike how it feels in game.

Power sword empowered lights and heavies have very very high stagger though. Enough to control groups of Ragers. No setup I have feels as free to melee Rager groups as my power sword Vet.

Again I’m not currently pro nerf for power sword, but lets not pretend it doesn’t have the strengths it does, or be petulantly unaware of breakpoints like a certain other person in this thread…

But guys remember the thunderhammer can kill bosses that the ogryn might not be slapping in a corner/that didn’t eat 12 krak grenades. So its a better weapon killing crushers in the same number of hits as a power sword, but with 3s charge time. All is well.

Tried it myself, it works, but it seems to require a decent amount of investment into the right side melee tree, and if im gonna be that heavily built into melee i might as well just play Zealot.

Nice to know i have the option to two shot Crushers with melee at least, but im still not gonna use the powersword.

Seems to only really work with the MK IV as well.

Dude, stop being ignorant. I don’t really have a problem with current PS but it’s a fact that PS can 2 shots crusher in damnation with right setup.
