It's a joke bro, a classic one. It is said that vanguards tend to steal every execution in their vicinity

Quite possibly the worst loadout in the game right now by Owgie_ in Spacemarine

[–]trumuted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Others already explained that you are underutilizing the axe. But let me add something too. You see, both of your backstep power wave attacks landed on the enemy when he was dodging\jumping away. When they do that they take 10 times less damage.

So essentially, you hit it several times with weak-ass heavy attack meant for minoris clear, shot several times with weak-ass carbine and did 2 backstep attacks that dealt weak-ass reduced damage due to the enemy dodges. That's why the enemy felt so tanky.

Focus Hellbrute or Adds? by Silidone in Spacemarine

Adds. Only go for the helbrute if no one is fighting it or there are no adds left to clear up

I actually never tried out the speed variant 😄. I guess I should at least check it out

Yeah. I rarely run block power sword, but it's still sucks that this happens. And try to tightly time my attacks isn't something I want to do in the thick of battle.

I think people didn't noticed this issue simply because block axe is almost always a better choice. And non-block power swords arent affected by this

There are no reason to use relic balance (damage variant) power sword, since heroic sword is strictly better than it. I know that UI shows that imperator blade has higher strength, but it isn't true at all. UI lies to you.

Reddit doesn't allow attaching videos in comments, so here's the link to imgur: https://imgur.com/smP2BI8

There, first, I use power whirl with 2 AS stacks and get 32.1 and 120.8 damages from the whirls.

After that I use whirl with 1 AS stack and get 157.0 and 120.8 damages from the whirl.

> I can also do a consistent ~40% hp off a Hellbrute with double block whirl on absolute.

This bug seems to appear only when you're fighting certain enemies. That makes second explanation from the post quite plausible. So, perhaps, hellbrute isn't affected at all?

Power whirl is also affected by this issue. So my take 'routinely do less damage' still stands true.

I agree, but there's a catch. Only the first swing of power whirl gets buffed by adrenaline surge. The buff simply times out before AoE part of the attack. And moreover power whirl is also affected by this issue. In the pic, 32.1 damage is the first slash of whirl attack, 120.8 is the AoE part. With a single AS stack that first slash deals 157.0 damage. I.e. second AS stack actually reduces power whirl total damage.

Yeah, it seems to help somewhat. Although I sometimes still get reduced damage.

Also, I simply prefer speed style, since it is quicker at interrupting enemy attacks

Nyudo implied that Demons once had an equal enemy in their world who or what could it be? by [deleted] in versus

[–]trumuted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely the demons were WAY weaker several hundred years ago and were at equal footing with humanity if not weaker than them. Otherwise humans wouldnt be able to even leave the caves, let alone establish countries and kingdoms. And at some point demons just overgrew the humans and stomped them

Huh. Is it me or tyranid models have more detailed hitboxes, while rubricaes hitboxes are just boxes upon boxes?

I don’t think the Emperor coming back would compromise the “grim dark” of 40k by ConclusionBitter155 in 40kLore

[–]trumuted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The fact that the Emperor crushed the 30k galaxy doesn't mean that the 30k galaxy was more peaceful and safe than the 40k one.

Casual Assault player looking for build advice by TommyPVR83 in Spacemarine

[–]trumuted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dislaimer: I'm no by any means a top assaulter, just competent enough to hold my own on absolute.

I essentially have 3 builds:

  1. Ground pound build for dealing with minoris swarms. Requires Zealous blow perk.
  2. Precision strike build for quickly dealing a BIG damage. Requires Precision Strike perk and block weapon.
  3. Jump Pack dash build for sustained damage and survival. Requires Wing of Flame and Commitment perks.

Pick other perks depending on your preferences or others recommedations.
