New ZEALOT weapon is INSANELY POWERFUL (DARKTIDE Damnation Zealot CRUSHER gameplay with commentary)

[@HeavyFootedMoa]

Sweet video man. Really enjoy your commentary on your decision making. It's nice to see some slower more methodical play with strangers, complete with big mistakes for the genuine zealot experience! Cheers.

[@theactionwindow5008]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it, definitely one of the stranger ones I've had!

[@Oziot]

another great video, man. you’re very witty and informative with your commentary, which is very enjoyable. thank you for including the bad alongside the good, as it definitely makes for a more entertaining viewing experience. keep up the good work!

[@theactionwindow5008]

Such kind words man, thank you. Really happy you enjoyed it :)

I still prefer bleed feat because the powered attack crits can apply bleed to the entire horde

[@realBeltalowda]

So glad they patched this out /s

[@DarrenMalin]

If only we Zealots could use a recon laz gun :)

[@claydeangelis4009]

what trinkets were you using?

[@theactionwindow5008]

Ngl my trinkets are mostly quite garbo. They all have Toughness blessing on which is the main thing. 16% on each one. Then the rest is a random mix of god knows what. I think I have 30% combined dmg resist vs Gunners which seems very medium. Some stamina regen. In an ideal world I think I'd just want maxed Toughness blessings, then all 3 with Toughness perks at 5%, then some mixture of Resistance vs Gunners and Cooldown reduction. I also need to test with Stamina regen and see if that's worth it but with no crafting system it feels a bit pointless atm.

What blessings a perks do you think are important for the crusher?

[@theactionwindow5008]

Man, I'm not sure I could even tell you! It seems like it has a bunch of really shit blessings. I upgraded one all the way to Transcendent yesterday and got 2 Impact blessings. It honestly seems so ridiculously strong anyway that I'm not sure it even matters lol. You can just stunlock the map and not even care about what's trying to melee you.

[@loganmulroney]

@@theactionwindow5008 That has basically been my feeling as well. I have a Profane one and I'm absolutely killing with it on Heresy. I haven't been brave enough to pug on damnation with it yet though. What ranged weapons have you tried paring it with? I've been liking the shotgun for the ranged stagger against those scary shotgunners. But I'm also just starting to play around with the agripina braced autogun.

[@theactionwindow5008]

@@loganmulroney You can probably take it straight into a Damnation PUG, might be the safest weapon in the game to run on Damnation. On Zealot my favourite gun atm is the Shredder autopistol which is kind of cracked now after the patch. Got some big buffs and has access to excellent blessings, plus the playstyle of the gun really suits how I like to play ranged on the Zealot. Braced Agri is an S tier gun, you can't really go wrong with that. The Bolter as well can be absolutely insane with the right blessings. And of course, the Flamer is a contender for the most overpowered weapon in the game, but tbh I don't really use it as I find it quite limiting in the mobility department and I don't enjoy playing with Knife or Tactical Axe. I do see Zealots running both Revolver and Shotgun which tbh are probably a little more 'at home' on the Zealot as ranged on the Zealot is there to help you push/close distance and both can help with that, as well as having good stagger.

Don't you get bored of spaming special + light attack?

[@theactionwindow5008]

So that combo is actually special + heavy attack, and yeah it is super dull lol. I don't really use this weapon a whole bunch outside of showing it off here. The Ogryn's version is a lot more fun because it doesn't lean quite as heavily on the special attacks.
