Heavy Eviscerator attack pattern sucks

[Just Terrible Gameplay]

Why does this huge 2H chainsword which is clearly made for melee AoE have 90% of it's attacks as single target when it has a single target weapon special?????? Can it just be exactly like the executioner from V2..... To use it correctly you have to hold melee attack button for AoE heavy attack > Block for a second > hold melee attack for button for AoE heavy attack > repeat. Just why...

skill issue. i suggest you learn optimal weapon combos

rev > heavy > light, rev as needed.

There are some good combos for more AoE sweeps.

I like push attack -> heavy -> light -> light. Gives you 4 pretty good cleaving attacks.

You can also just do heavy -> light over and over if you aren't being overwhelmed.

The weapon pattern for the eviscerator, as is the same with other weapons, changes depending on the pattern/Mk it has. I have a nice eviscerator with the 4 combo attack pattern of "strike-cleave-cleave-strike".

Eviscerators also seem to come into their own when they start getting blessings that add CC
and improved cleave to your strikes. IIRC My eviscerator has a blessing adds +2 cleave on a kill, so the first swing kills 1, adds 2 cleave power allowing it to cleave 5 instead of 3 on the next strike. But right now we're stuck praying to RNG whilst the crafting system is being completed so i appreciate that's not really a complete answer/solution for you.

Moving from a thunder hammer that always "cleaves" on a heavy strike to a weapon that needs to cleave, but doesn't always, is admittedly a bother. But the pros of the eviscerator are really your improved movement. Your dodges go from 2 to 4, you dodge twice as far and your sprint is more efficient. So you don't want to stand at a choke point swinging half charged heavy strikes, you want to be doing the "traditional" melee dance all the other weapons do, despite it being a 2 handed weapon that implies similar mechanics to the hammer/crusher.

Heavy > Block > Heavy > Block.

Thank me later.

Many other weapons have variants, but there's only one Eviscerator type: the Tigris Mk II.

I do the Block/Push>Heavy
First one blocks, staggers them and does a quick side slash, the Charged strike/Heavy followup does a clearout.
