It actually has a pretty cool perk that lets you do multiple empowered attacks before it runs out max of +2 (3 total attacks). Unfortunately it doesn't have a perk that lets you block bullets like force sword.
Modded as far as I'm aware (no idea what the mod is called though sorry!). Devs did say they wanted to put solos in the game officially but no word on when yet.
@@marah4847 The lightattacks on the 6 are far better. I find it to be better, as in pressed situations you dont have time to charge up an attack and get those nice horizontal swings .
@@illuser188 this is the only way i could justify using it over 6 personally but even then that empowered stab is just too good and satisying for me to pass up for me
personally I like mk3 because the heavy is a horizontal cleave which is really good for clearing hordes with weakspot damage. but I usually go ranged focus vet and use sword to save ammo on hordes (in auric5)
moveset is the main difference. The Mk6 is the better version but it takes longer to get proficient with. If block then push then immediately heavy the sword does a thrust attack that pierces armor and does a ton of damage if charged. If you have power cycler you can one combo bulwarks with it.
invis isn't great with crutchsword; you already 2/3-shot(just have +25% carapace) crushers if you built correctly. The shout has way more utility, it can stagger monsters(including DH, followed by 3 krak nades) and help push them off a ledge.
Auric Maelstrom is like 2 tiers above Damnation. A lot of 'bad weapons' can turn into monsters if you have the correct blessing setup. It's not about his ability to mow down the fodder mobs, it's about dealing with Crusher/Mauler/Rager packs and swiftly killing disablers at the same time. I guarantee when you learn to Dodge-Slide you'll die a lot less on Heresy. You'll also pay more attention to the dodge limit on weapons and your stamina.
They’re not bad weapons, though they def aren’t BIS. At high difficulty it’s more about your ability to cc and avoid damage. A good player can kite more or less indefinitely if they have room, especially in darktide with how powerful dodge slides are
Shoutout to that taunt/shield ogryn for those plays there.
The position and awareness was on point.
Name a more iconic duo than boss and big man
Always a joy to watch.
reloading after 2 shots with las rifle. That's my jam
I like how he talks in plural even if he is alone 😅

9:40 the amount of snipers there was crazy!
He's just talking to his weapons 😂

Amazing, simply amazing, I have no more word for your game play. I guess I have to call you Commisar ChocoB now...
For the Emperor of mankind ⚔️
The power sword looks so fun! I've recently started playing veteran and didn't even know a force sword equivalent existed haha

I would like a power axe and a chain great axe added next would be sick
If you could bring one item from your arsenal on the Morningstar back to Helmgart Keep, what would it be and who would you give it to?
Kruber deserves a bolter IMO
@@nickrose1312Nah a humble Kantreal lasgun would done more in his situation
Ogryn nuke ---> Bardin, no question.
Wellll, maybe the flamethrower for Saltz...
@@heistingcrusader_ad3223 Taal would want his bounty nice and crispy, you're right
Give sienna the flamethrower
How do you get the second swing to be empowered?
Impressive gameplay as always !
Can you just tell me how you do to launch a game in solo ? Im interested

24:43 you mean to tell me that the player named darktide happened to wake the daemon host?
and here i thought you were a shovel main
1:08
What the dog doin?
That would be funny if the ogryn could go stealth mode too
Nice play 👍
Damn, this thing has 3 charges again ?
Before the power sword nerf it used to do 8 charged swings😔
Its a perk you can get on the sword. Power Storage or whatever its called, lets you hold a max of 3 charges again.
Oh yeah, this is my kinda weapon
Man power cycler is so good wish i had it
Buy out green power swords when shop resets > consecrate once to blue. You'll get it pretty quickly doing this.
Why take onslaught? Wouldn't it only be 2.5% brittleness per shot or does it apply per pellet ?
Inquisitor chocob
why the mark 3 over 6? is it a preferance thing?
Faster special activation maybe?
better angle
@@marah4847 The lightattacks on the 6 are far better. I find it to be better, as in pressed situations you dont have time to charge up an attack and get those nice horizontal swings
.
The lack of slowdown on mk3 charging keeps you more mobile than mk6

It’s a little disappointing that the strongest vet builds are focused on melee haha
Do you prefer this mark of power sword or was it just the best one you had?

What's the difference between tje mark 3 and mark 6 energy swords? I use the chains word currently.
moveset is the main difference. The Mk6 is the better version but it takes longer to get proficient with. If block then push then immediately heavy the sword does a thrust attack that pierces armor and does a ton of damage if charged. If you have power cycler you can one combo bulwarks with it.
Wish they modify the dodge capability of the PS
Is this a mod or how do you play complete alone?
Yes its a mod. I believe its called True Solo but dont quote me on that.
@@armintor2826 thanks mate. i will search it up
Wait… how are you playing solo
Just curious, how do you manage to play solo ? I'm trying to do solo runs but I don't even know how to start one.
Fairly certain it's a mod. Best you can do without it is start a mission with just bots and get them all killed.
@@pwh1981 makes sense, the game doesn't even let me start a private if no other player is on the squad.
If your on console you gotta start with 1 friend do private match and have them leave then get all 3 bots killed.@@crox9106
Can u post this build
looks in description.
How so good

Bro this thing is busted wtf
Powersword needs a rework. Awful to use without PC yet becomes boring with.
I feel bad i keep dying on heresy And here someone WHO plays solo damnation with 2 absolutely bad weapons.....

What is BIS ? At least melee weapon wise it really fells like it is power sword for vet.@@Akarayad
