One shot builds

[Moldy_Lunchbox321]

Just ran into the boss slayer thunderhammer zealot build and it's crazy satisfying to use. Still rather have instant toughness restoration or high attack speed, but it destroys bosses. Do other classes have boss/flak one shot potential? I'm sure it'll all get nerfed pretty soon anyways, but fun demands it.

Stealth hammer build. Backstab + perfectionist gave Zealot 200% extra damage on backstab hit, on top the finesse those perks gave were multiplicative. It's getting nerfed next patch. Reducing the perfectionist bonus from 100% to 50% and all finesse bonuses are now addative. So, its basically dead now.

I've really enjoyed that gimmick build but now will go back to Chastise the Wicked double dash. It 2KO's most monstrosities. If you build it right with Purge the Unclean.

Krak vets built for it can do massive monster/boss damage, yes, and full-charge plasma absolutely deletes things with execute and full buffs active.

not really

some classes can run set ups with better(better relative to themselves not to zealots) monster burst dps but nothing quite matches the reliability and speed of zealot monster dps with a thunder hammer

ogryns can use their frag bombs to instantly take a chunk off enemies but they only get 1 frag bomb then either stack bleed in melee or blast them with point blank barrage

veterans can spam their nades then do executioners stance and wail on a weakspot

and psykers, unless im missing smth, have the worst boss dps, just spam voidstrike charged shots into the weakpoint

In terms of melting things the Helbore III is pretty much the best Veteran can do. With the right blessings you can quite easily deal 2000+ damage per shot and launch them faster than once per second while never having to actually reload. I would say it takes about 6-8ish seconds to destroy a Beast this way entirely by yourself, assuming you can shoot it in the weakspot.

Unfortunately it causes severe tunnel vision to the user and requires your allies to actually give you the space to keep up the stacks, which randoms will never do.

Psykers have and will likely always have the worst boss DPS, unfortunate.

Worry not, the powers that be have heard you and have promptly decided to nerf boss-one-shot fun int othe dirt by gimping the tool that makes it work (auto-crit 220% increased backstab damage reduced to a mere 170% which as it happens will come just short of many damnation mosnter/boss HP pools).

That said you will be able to more reliably get off one-shots on lesser monsters and crushers since they are apparently finally fixing thrust to actually apply stacks correctly.
