^ this. You can debuff the crusher (2 swings at T4) and finish it w/ range, typically double the DPS if you have the space to do it.
OFC you’re also debuffing it for the entire team; goes a long way especially since 7 crusher patrols are common lately…
Ok i tried to kill with PS several enemies in the training room… This is a total non sense to even want to compare such things.
Too many things that do the experience different from an other try that it has no sense to even try to compare.
I compared slaughterer and sunder. In apparence, slaughterer seems better… But, sunder seems better in the first time you hit several enemies. Once you killed several, damages are better with slaughterer (normal) but on first target.
Same goes for MKIII vs MKVI. MKIII seems better when you look at the move… but when you test, you realize that the MKVI hit more time several enemies.
All of this is purely subjective, and I have given up tests… to return to pleasure.
About CA against PS… for me it is clear that a PS wipe faster enemies. On crusher, it is a equal. Exactly 10s to kill a crusher with PS (without supercharge) and with a CA (with thunderous).
Well, final word for me on this… PS with PC > CA.
Then we have to agree to disagree as for me Antax V with BM outperforms any configuration of both powerswords I everplayed before and especially after this patch.

I have issues with those “tests”… They do not reflect the openings the player shows to enemies when using a weapon.
They are a test that isn’t a real situation that do not reflect the safety of a weapon or it’s ability to deal with clutch moments.
Trading offensive power for reliability is oft overlooked.

You can… but you would have issues with every test you would make with enemies that react.
These tests show one thing… You kill faster with the PS (with PC) than with a combat axe on a zealot that has right feats.
And tbh, in my games i see a difference. With a PS I can wipe (this is the term) nearly everything (exception is mauler and ogryns). With the combat axe, this is clearly not happening.
And believe me… the combat axe is a weapon that I use a lot as my main (but now I play 50-50 zealot and vet) is a zealot.
On my vet I started to use a combat axe… I have given up using it considering the fact that PS are really more efficients. But I am glad several don’t think like me, cause I like to see different weapons in my games.
Nothing is as sad as seeing always the same weapons. But for me, now on my vets, I will use only the PS.

I’m not debating the raw killingpower of the PS, it’s off the charts 
I’m just not one for slow weapons.
The french in me wants to have that retreat option available 
The french in me loves the option to wipe everything
The French in me wishes for Slaneesh cultists instead of Nurgle - aren’t we all a little French? ^^
