[@Vamp0613]

To put it simply, this weapon is *bonkers* on Zealot with its base haste and flat melee buffing talents. Thanks to Chastise The Wicked, fully winding up a Heavy 1 is ridiculously devastating without requiring Uncanny Strikes.

[@thunder2434]

Thanks! I'm building up mine. It'll be insane! :D

[@crisisroomba]

Unironically one of zealots best-in-slots. I personally dump mobility because big cleave makes my brain big happy, and shred + thrust is my fav combo atm. With carapace and maniac you can one shot any special with a heavy and elites just require a chastise dash into heavy. What an elite weapon for Zeaot.

[@crisisroomba]

With IJ too? So nasty.

[@Bluecho4]

This mission is so cool.

[@Spokenword]

Holy shit that's some quick swinging

[@randomguyblank1616]

stuff like this is why I love martrydom, that attack speed boost you get can make any weapon great

[@thunder2434]

Momentum keystone also has attack speed, you can get +15% from it. If you want to see really insane also use a speed stim and Fury of the Faithful. :)

[@randomguyblank1616]

@thunder2434 Yeah, that's good and probably more viable than martyrdom, but I want that 24% attack speed thanks to maniac talent for martyrdom. If I'm going all-in on attack speed, I want to go ALL in. Also, I have tried that, you swing at light speed, it's amazing

[@stradavar3022]

This mission is pain and suffering with randoms so far. People have to actually carry their weight now.

[@thunder2434]

That's a good thing though? They'll be forced to learn how to play. ;) There's the team thing now though hopefully it helps to find or gather a good team.

[@stradavar3022]

@thunder2434 For sure, but that logic is better suited for missions without a timer. If I have to carry in any other mission its a clutch at my pace, on that train it might as well be a one way trip to the Emperor.

[@CrypticBlight]

I’m so glad zealot has this now. It feels almost like vermintide witch hunter again.

[@Vamp0613]

I just need great swords again

[@CrypticBlight]

@@Vamp0613 I’ve really missed that and halberds.

[@ct7567CaptRex]

I cant play this mission. It keeps crashing on me for no reason

[@thunder2434]

GG!

[@Broomtwo]

I really like this weapon, it is so OP on zealot. It has mobility like the knife, but also has finesse and penetration, so a crit build just melts everything. It has longer range than the knife so it feels so much safer to use, and the knife was pretty much already the safest melee weapon. Plus the dodge reset blessing seems like it gives unlimited dodge charges effectively?

[@n4k3d51]

Wouldnt a pure crit build do better?

[@Vamp0613]

@@n4k3d51 with Shred blessing and the extra crit on bleed talent you’re already functionally over 50% crit so the raw damage bonus from Martyrdom stacks hits hard as it is while every other swing is likely going to crit. Not to mention martyrdom is so much tankiness at higher stacks compared to Blazing

[@Venti_Depresso]

So we don’t need any unyielding damage on this thing huh?

[@Vamp0613]

I haven't tested breakpoints on this with Zealot too much, and the perks were mostly made for chaff specifically for this mission rather than an all-rounder setup so still need to test more.

[@Venti_Depresso]

@@Vamp0613 ohhhhh man I was testing stuff this whole 4 hours since I posted it and it’s just all so strong 🤣 idk what’s best but it all feels nice I know that much lol

[@infrared6973]

Cant wait to play with this on vet although i really dislike horde clearing with it. Also they made it so plasma cant penetrate bulwark shield anymore.

[@djstiles2001]

Wack

[@leubzo1436]

The nerf on the penetration for plasma was long overdue though, it was outclassing every other gun in the game. It's still is now but it takes a bit more brain power then just point and click for bulwarks

[@infrared6973]

@@leubzo1436 bulwarks arent dangerous imo and i always play with shredder grenades so its whatever to me.

[@avalokiteshvara113]

That just made plasma gun doodoo for me imo

[@leubzo1436]

@@avalokiteshvara113 Dunno what to tell you, it's still an S tier gun, it can one shot pretty much any special and 3 tap crushers

[@friendlyhobo6483]

Giving the zealot the dueling sword was the only change I wasn’t that down with. It is just way too strong in the hands of a zealot.

[@bloodangel7731]

You're fighting ai in this game. The strengh of a weapon shouldn't matter

[@RicardoPleasure]

i spent HOURS today lol just tooling around with zealot and duelling sword. it's a brand new game

[@thunder2434]

I did that last night. I need to grind and get more weapons to sacrifice to max out the sword though. I'd somehow never used it on my Psyker.
