Sure, you can get the oneshot if you stack enough buffs to get there. Just be aware there are quite a few hoops

vestal pine
#

hard hoo

#

hard hoop to go yea

hard nexus
#

what about with the overhead?

left iron
#

The damage would be closer, but not on Crucis level. I can get a quick test after im done preparing dinner, so i'll get back to it in ~15 minutes

lament wave
#

The crucis can with martyrdom and thrust 4

left iron
#

Literally scroll up like, a little bit

lament wave
#

Oops someone said it already

left iron
#

Find the video with the thrust 4 crucis with max marty

#

And watch it deal 2840 damage

lament wave
#

I do it all the time xd

left iron
#

.

#

Anyway, back to preparing dinner

vestal pine
#

with carapace it should be similar to crusis then. must've had few more obscure buffs

#

anyway ty for experimenting

left iron
#

Im pretty sure max marty, max HT, max thrust, max sustained, duellist, cara perk will get the oneshot on crucis at least, but im not 100% sure with ironhelm

#

I can test that in ~15 mins with the other stuff

ember yew
#

would be a kill if we still had 20 stacks

#

FS will burn in hell

#

technically can achieve a oneshot with momentum, but probably need 80-80-80 hammer

#

this is 80-80-75

hard nexus
#

i know that

#

idk how many stacks

left iron
#

Im getting a feeling i did this specific test back right after the hp buffs, but i am not 100% sure. This is max HT, thrust, sustained, duellist active, cara perk, 1 marty

frosty herald
#

Im gonna start charging her rent

#

Acting like she works a 9-5

left iron
obtuse stirrup
#

but it's a harder hoop in itself

left iron
#

Yes, but HT is more accessible

#

Its a difference of 15% power, so you could drop marty completely and have less sustained, but thats unlikely to happen anyway, since sustained is pretty much tied to both HT and slaughterer

#

So they'd both be at max stacks

#

Again, take that one specifically with a grain of salt, i cant remember exactly if this was before or right after the hp buffs the enemy oggys got

#

How do I not die in melee?

misty nova
#

Dodge more often

vestal pine
#

dont overshoot

#

get revanant and at least be skilled enough to rely upon it and not die every 2 mins

misty nova
#

Also learn that there's dodge limits

forest eagle
#

I haven't played in a good while, but I have a low level Zealot that I really want to max out.

obtuse stirrup
#

Pushing is good too

forest eagle
#

The Veteran I played for the longest time felt a lot beefier in melee than my Zealot does.

obtuse stirrup
#

And take some of the good toughness regeneration shit

forest eagle
#

I even played Psyker and felt like I had more melee survivability.

obtuse stirrup
#

Like second wind

#

Fury of the Faithful is great as a toughness battery especially with 2 charges and one of the good CDR talents

forest eagle
#

That makes sense.

#

I'll look into it.

vestal pine
#

plasma

obtuse stirrup
#

If you want to feel squishy try ex stance vet lol

misty nova
#

Oh, avoid ragers for now

vestal pine
#

even the shovis basically oneshot crushers is a plus

obtuse stirrup
vestal pine
#

zealot has to pull chainaxes to do that without crits smh

obtuse stirrup
#

You can't just trade swings with them

vestal pine
vestal pine
obtuse stirrup
#

Whichever way

#

Ragers are good targets to shoot if you can

vestal pine
#

imagine rager with carapace as a boss

obtuse stirrup
#

Swings like a rager

#

Damages like a crusher

fleet zealot
# forest eagle How do I not die in melee?

Time dodges so you aren’t spending them all, be ready to block, know what swings to use (ie vs groups you wanna make sure you are using cleaving sweeps not comboing into overheads)

misty nova
#

So yeah, dodge push light heavy special your way through melee

forest eagle
#

Ragers were kind of puzzling.

fleet zealot
forest eagle
#

As Psyker? Easy. They fucking melt.

fleet zealot
#

Ragers depend on your weapon

forest eagle
#

As Zealot, it feels like I'm trying to fistfight a semitruck.

fleet zealot
#

Sometimes it is better to just used range and gun them down

forest eagle
#

My build goal is chain axe with flamer.

fleet zealot
#

Mk4 chaxe can bully rager packs with punishment talent and ramped up power

#

Mk12 can handle individual ragers but imo it struggles with packs

#

As for flamer

#

Just fotf, to up your damage and shoulder check them

forest eagle
#

I can try.

#

Again. Current Zealot is low level.

lean lark
#

equip mk6 hsword with headtaker deathblow maniac elites

#

ragers become swiss cheese

fleet zealot
#

Yea for early chain axe, just rev’d heavy

quaint verge
#

That or use crusher

misty nova
#

You won't have a weird time with Crushers if you use the Heavy sword special, considering the adm

fleet zealot
#

Hsword special heavy loop is okay for one crusher but falls off for multiple

obtuse stirrup
#

it's better than the other things a HS can do

#

but I pull out the revolver again if I need to do it fast

misty nova
#

But yeah, ideally you want to learn the ins and outs of dodging to avoid getting melee stomped

lean lark
#

just pull out your bolter using sprint tech and ez

#

no issue

misty nova
lean lark
#

hsword has good dmg vs bosses

misty nova
#

And I swear, every time I use one, my team dies and I have to deal with the monstrosity

lean lark
#

you just need to hit nonstop weakspots (like you would for every other weapon)

misty nova
#

If we are talking about the Mk 9, ideally the H1 is your main source of boss damage

lean lark
#

i dont talk about mk9

#

im talking about the mk6

forest eagle
#

Being out of the loop for a good time makes this conversation feel like I'm witnessing some tech priests mumble in binary.

north sedge
#

I only talk about the mk69

forest eagle
#

How use chain axe to do big kill?

#

What do the different chain axes actually do differently?

north sedge
#

Rev heavy

#

The revs on normal attacks and they have the highest carapace dmg

obtuse stirrup
#

12 can oneshot Crushers reliably with revved heavies iirc

#

Not sure if it needs the FotF rip

north sedge
#

No it doesn't

#

Neither does mk4

#

Just needs slightly more buffs up, either pretty easy

misty nova
#

One of the main reasons why I started using it

#

The other reason is that it looks cool

fleet zealot
fleet zealot
#

mk4 specifically can also do unrev'd light spam for single target

#

this is better for monstros, enemies not focusing you and maulers (maulers will get staggered by lights if you are pre ramped)

maiden path
#

the abilty for meowth to talk implies that pokemon have a higher conscious then that of an animal

#

therfore it is from my understanding that all pokemon rest around the same iq of 105

#

the median of the average iq of humans

maiden path
#

and from that I gather that pokemon are sick fucking freaks who enjoy beating eachother senseless

#

pokemon do not have to fight or obey their masters yet they choose too

#

actual fucking freaks

#

brought into this world to fight and be knocked out on a regular basis

#

mewtwo is a hero compared to these freaks

frosty herald
#

I agree

maiden path
#

atleast he tries to be something more then a tool for others amusement

#

mewtwo is the malcom x of the pokemon world

frosty herald
#

Meowth could also be an anomaly in pokemon nature

#

I think he's an anomaly by way of talking, not of understanding

#

There are like 50 times where a trainer walks up to a random wild pokemon and starts talking to it and it understands, or understands shortly after being captured

Yea and bm worked differently

before it was just it ignores cleave if you hit the head

vestal pine

Used to be

spare talon
#

which the hsword just doesnt need

vestal pine
#

was the keep first target damage for the next 3 target a new BM change

its what it does INSTEAD

plus the weakspot damage is also new

vestal pine
spare talon
#

which isnt much but its something

coarse birch
#

And weakspot ye

vestal pine
#

weakspot we can ignore usually

coarse birch
#

Rather than outright ignore hitmass

#

Well you still do basically

vestal pine
#

does the cleave damage falloff happen as in 1,1,1,1,2 or 1,1,1,1,5

spare talon
#

it used to be a buff btw
it used to ignore cleave for like 3 seconds after a kill, not on the swing only

vestal pine
#

ah

coarse birch
#

Oh right

vestal pine
#

even better then jeez

spare talon
#

now do you see why its worth over rampage

coarse birch
#

Esp cause hsword has swings thatll actually hit 5+

spare talon
#

hsword already does enough damage to be able to one shot an elite to the head with first target

#

so that means you can kill 4 elites in one swing

#

vs with rampage youd just oneshot them harder

vestal pine
#

power sword 3 brutal momentum was fun somehow oneshot 6 ragers i think with the infiltrate buff

spare talon
#

and only kill the first one

coarse birch
#

Rampage mostly made light spam into horde funny

vestal pine
#

would be real fun if crusis got brutal momentum

#

need to build a time machine to go back to the birth of every fatshark dev and tell their parents that having a button that you press to start a rev animation so that you can then latch onto an enemy to shred them

#

except the shredding only actually does significant damage on the final tick

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

and it costs a shit ton of stamina to dodge out of the rev so you have an entire risk/reward mechanic just to get single target damage while a bunch of other weapons do not have to deal with this

#

for minimal upside

coarse birch
#

I would prefer you just hold special for as long as you want to shred

royal vortex
#

it's one of those weapon designs where they tried really hard to remove fluidity from the combat loop while using it

coarse birch
#

And normalize the damage per tick

royal vortex
#

you will notice in most 40k depictions the chainsword dudes aren't going "hold on give me a second i have to find the power button" and "hold still i have to rip you in half"

#

it just

#

happens

coarse birch
#

So you can just be doing your combo and then hold

vestal pine
royal vortex
north sedge
#

Chaxe comes closest to just being on

royal vortex
#

thunderhammers keep your position in the combo on activation

#

which is only relevant for the ironhelm and doesn't always work but that's besides the point

north sedge
royal vortex
#

the special attack button for chain weapons as a baseline could've been like the next attack in your combo but it's shred mode and you hold the shred down

royal vortex
#

i still actually can't use it for that long because the specific noise it makes when shredding metal armor is really aggravating

vestal pine

#

Beta chainsword took like 6 swings to kill a pox walker

royal vortex
#

boltgun's chainsword amazingly makes more sense for a game way less focused on melee combat because that game you just attacked once and held it down to shred

#

unheard of technology to the swedes

#

but you combine the fact that the way revs work is rigid and punishes you for the kind of fluid combat the rest of the game incentivizes with the fact that certain chain weapons are designed to feel slower (like the evis) and i just hate it

vestal pine
#

i like how it feels tbh, you comittign for the final hit for the big damage is a mechanism i enjoy
i do hope in the future there is actual toggle weaponry

#

The dodge during shred mechanic would be so much better if the final tick wasn't the actual damage

#

And instead the damage was normalized across ticks and the weapon was about constantly shredding the enemy, not trying to farm that last hit

vestal pine
#

or just make the dodge early punish you less

#

idk like 40% stamina

south folio
#

a special activation that could be activated mid-swing would be nice as well

#

something that doesn't require interrupting your combo and having to wait that little bit

#

you can't justify the normalized damage per tick for something like force swords (well, i guess they could change the animation to be more "draining" or whatever warp stuff it's doing), but that seems perfectly doable and sensible for chainswords

#

i want to be able to intentionally doing this sort of thing fluidly (e.g., in a better world, I could just activate my special in the middle of my push-attack without it being a coincidence that my special happened to be activated before I reacted to the shotgunner)

modern lintel
#

Didnt they say we would be getting some sort of power maul type thing on update aswell

south folio
#

of all the special activation weapons, it is the least problematic in terms of how the special activation works for it

#

because you don't get locked/stunned (thammer/deimos/obscurus/chord/evis), and the special is not something that is regularly spammed (illisi/psword)

#

and in fact, i think it is a weapon for which the current special activation system is perfectly fine

TBH I feel like crusher is kinda OP. Which is why I stopped playing it. It makes the game a bit braindead

south folio
#

keep in mind that even though it doesn't have the conventional damage blessings, it gets the current version of skullcrusher which goes up to +80% damage stacked on staggered enemies

and the crusher is essentially THE de facto (human) weapon for taking advantage of skullcrusher

#

it's not like the devil's claw

vestal pine
# south folio something that doesn't require interrupting your combo and having to wait that l...

i like current implementation of chain weapons for two reasons, 1. the damage being focused on the last tic makes it more of a risk-reward option for single target, where positioning so that while the channeling lasts(sawing) not getting hit rewards you with huge points of damage, and a satisfying crunch that comes with it
and 2. you actually have an option of getting out after the carnival patch, since before you were forced to channel and you either get punished or get hit
i'd definitely welcome a change that incorporates not resetting attack chains and maybe faster activation times

south folio
#

being actionable at all times is pretty mandatory in a game where you can be trapped or take heavy potshots

#

and in a game where it is difficult to predict the behavior of many and diverse enemies at a time

modern lintel
#

I think skull crusher is p ok for slab shield

south folio
#

so, theoretically, there is a risk-reward aspect to it

#

but practically, the special ends up being rarely used

#

the point of normalizing the damage and making it something that you can use is to make it more of a common option

#

because it's still not going to be something that is strictly better than a normal swing (at least on chainswords)

#

since it'll be the choice between a cleaving attack and something that sticks into enemies for better single-target damage

#

at least on evis, you can get away with removing the cleave on special because the heavies already do just stick into enemies

#

in my experience, using the chainsword special has always felt like it's either interrupted the flow of melee, has felt too risky to use, or has only been used in absolutely safe scenarios

vestal pine
#

here's my take; if its going to be a single high damage i think the current risk-reward choice is fine
if one wants a cleaving special, which we are lacking in game other than powerswords and ironhelm(no mauls dont count) i think it having a normalized damage all across the board is justified.

south folio
#

what do you mean normalized damage for cleaving specials

#

normalized across all targets hit?

vestal pine
#

no, the ripping part just having all damage divided evenly

south folio
#

pswords don't do rips though

#

neither does illisi, crusher, and ironhelm

vestal pine
#

my point on there is that normalized ripping damage would be fine if it wasn't a single target only special. i think all chain specials being this way just makes it less "common" to use, and it is fine imho
i

south folio
#

i prefer having a sticky single-target special activation that sees more regular use rather than attempting to emphasize some risk-reward aspect

vestal pine
#

basically the only time this game does something akin to this is ironhelm and power mauls

#

annnd maybe force swords

south folio
#

the evis is the only cleaving ripping special that i can currently remember, and it only rips on the target that "stops" it anyways

#

for deimos/obscurus, they are subject to the chainsword issue except that it's worse because the damage is even less normalized across the "rips"

#

and basically all of the damage is at the final rip

shy badge
compact pelican
#

anyone got the build of the hammer smite build

spare talon
vestal pine
# south folio but it'd also be fine for single-target only speicals

i think the current implementation doesnt really have an issue. i think the dodge downside of 60% stamina might be a too much thing(ideally it should cost like 20% at most) but the concept is well done from my perspective.
i think the ripping damage and the sawing damage not distributed is cause it acts as a normalization between varying enemy targets so that it doesn't die early and i think this is intentional, and i think i like this implementation than just applying constant DPS and thing dies early
HOWEVER, since we have a thing called variations, fatshark should add more variations that does this to fit the person's preference, rather than just relying on the same thing over and over, like they did for force swords with illisi

#

sorry for late reply i was doing warrens

#

definitely a special attack that constantly rips with a decent DPS but locks you in place and dodging out costs stamina could be interesting

south folio
vestal pine
south folio
#

the stamina cost is pretty hefty though it's whatevs in our current system
in a world where stamina did matter more, yeah it'd definitely need to be cut down

#

at least for melees, they are fairly distinct enough in combos and i don't want them to be too different in how their specials work between the marks unless it is demonstrably obvious (e.g., illisi's special being very clearly different from deimos/obscurus) from an intuitive perspective

#

now that i've thought about some more examples, i agree that some non-normalization is fine esp if i want a world in which the special activation is "free" in terms of time cost

#

here's the distribution of the rip for a chainsword sweeping heavy special (at least for flak)

#

so 35% on the first 3 rips and 65% on the last, which i think is too skewed to the final tick

# ember yew

honestly ive not tested or seen anything about skullcrusher on dclaw

grizzled aspen
# wicked sage Why is the Ironhelm Thunder Hammer so much more clunky to use than the Eviscerat...

Ironhelm has combos you need to learn a little better than the Crucis, but it cleaves until you hit something you can ping (shotgunner, gunner, ogryn, etc). The MK15 eviscerator lets you directly pick a target because the heavies are vertical. As for the "ease of usage" vs ogryns, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's due to the nature of how damage is handled on the two weapons, as well as the eviscerator heavy being easier to aim around a bulwark shield than an Ironhelm heavy.

placid fiber
#

Like... it answers almost every question with a special heavy 1/2

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah, but teaching your brain that after using the Crucis for so long is a little hard.

#

I, myself, rarely use push attacks, but I learned literally today that the Ironhelm goes into your 2nd heavy after push attack.

placid fiber
#

And the Crucis also has consistent and useful lights

#

rather than a half-hearted light 1 and then a light 2 that is the same as the crucis for damage(I think anyway)

grizzled aspen
#

Eh... I just learned the trajectory of Ironhelm lights so I don't miss heads.

#

Not really that hard.

The light 1 on the ironhelm is abysmal

But what made this one really good in particular was how the blessings rolled.

#

Both wrath and headtaker(?) at t4.

placid fiber
#

since both heavies do the same damage on the mk 6, whereas the 9 repeats heavies 2 and 3 over unless you block cancel pretty much(and it does less damage generally speaking)
