Thoughts on Powerfist?

[Drumadin]

I think its way to underwhelming In both PvP and PvE.

PvP: Damage is too low to match the speed, the attacks are slower and deals less damage than the chainsword and powersword. It says far-reaching wave damage but unless I charge the attack it's reach on par with the knife.

PvE: Works better here but still the damage is very underwhelming, even when you charge up your punches making fighting Tyranid warriors and Thousand Sons just feel like a slog given how slow and weak the weapon feels compared to other melee option.

What are your thoughts?

Kohl Badar beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of a Leman Russ tank with 2 lightning claws, which are the anti-personnel variant of a power fist

Power fists should be able to punch a hole in a predator!
yet here we are, not even able punch a dent in the shield of a half size Tzeentch minion!

Yeah, the damage definitely needs to be tuned in the future. I used the fists once and was disappointed.

Honestly you feel forced to only use thunderhammer in pvp. It says the fist has range, but roll spamming will avoid it, you need about 3 hits to kill a player after good landing.

Meanwhile hammer can just dodge attack and you will track them.
