Stop Nerfing the Power Sword

[Cernunnos]

Seriously.

You're just pushing me back to using nothing but Brutal Momentum Antaxes for every damn character. I want some variety. You introduce a new power sword with a better light attack pattern, then immediately nerf the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. Why?

Also Flak flame dot nerf kinda ruins the Kantrael Shotty. Again, was having fun with that.

So what you're saying is, the Power Sword is OP, and the Antax is the 2nd most OP?

Antax with BM is way more OP than the power sword was. Like it isn't even close.

Pretty much any axe with BM is ridiculously OP.

It was noticeably harder to play with the power sword. I used it because I wanted some variety.

If you thought the PS were crutches, you have literally no understanding of the minmaxing or break points eco system in this game.

Like hilariously naive.

To be fair you need a staggeringly high IQ to understand why nerfs are good sometimes, don't worry about it.

A redditor out in the wild, crazy.

Nerfs are good when they're appropriately applied. The power swords were underwhelming as they were, now they're just outright C tier.

As loathed as I am to suggest it, if you wanted to actually nerf an OP melee weapon, Brutal Momentum probably needs to be looked at on axes. Because it's hard to justify taking many other weapons when they exist.

Power swords are cool and all, but have you ever tried power shovel?

Normaly the Powerswords dont deal mutch Damage, the Deal with them are there AP, atleast lore wise, and Tabletop wise they only deal 1 Damage so you need two hits for a space marine, but there AP is so High that you almost ignore the armor of Space Marines, High Damage Weapons are something like Power/Thunder Hammer or Master Crafted Weapons, because they deal one more Damage in the Tabletop, that is the only way with a Power Sword to one hit Kill Space Marines, Sure Lore wise they One Hit enemys often but that is ehm yeah the Warhammer lore, some times things get oneshotted the next time they Dont XD The True BS is that you turn Chain and Power Weapon on for a View seconds Lore wise you activate them Once an then they Run for the rest of the battle

Having both an antax5 with bm and ht and a powersword with slaughterer and cycler this is just crazy talk. Antax doesnt have a 5th of the horde clear that a proper sword did.

As someone who also got Power Cycler a few weeks after release, this 100%.

I may not have won the lottery and gotten power cycler.

But this is bollox.

Antax 1 shot headshots any trash mob with the right perks for breakpoints.

You literally do not have to worry about hoards with it, it just deletes them. The Antax benefits from mob clearing with just light attack spam. Aslong as you can aim for heads and can dodge dance sufficiently, you're literally never going to die from a hoard. It just blends them.

Even with power cycler, you're relying on having to constantly charge your PS up to do any reliable mob clearing. You can easily find yourself in a situation where you're struggling because a mob snuck up on you and you're not managing to get your charge off without taking significant damage.

And even then, you were (before the new sword) relying on your special attack with the weapon to clear hoards. Because its light combo was refried ass. The annoying side slide, swipe and mouse flick tek you had to use, you could easily mistep the rhythm and pay the price for it.

The new PS is better because it's light attacks are a good pattern, and they're fast. But your character is still slower whilst using it than they are with any of the axes. Your dodge dance is less reliable and you realistically still have to rely on charging your sword up to deal with most mobs. Meaning you need power cycler, and that blessing is rocking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The Antax is safer, more reliable and easier to use.

That's the Antax I use for the Vet, and it pretty much deletes anything.
