Does impact rating really have that much of an... well, impact, on the game? Is it really that bad that this one weapon doesn't have this one mod?
Well yes it is pretty "impactful" when attacking knife wielders. With the impact mod on heavy weapons against base knives it takes 2-3 clangs to break their knife. When a weapon is broken there is a short stun and followed by the complete inability to defend with RPS. I'd say that is a pretty big deal.
Also against other axe-users, if they have the impact-mod installed and you don't they win the clangs and eventually break your weapon
Ya gotta believe. Like, really believe. Da Skip Launchas wot 'appens wen we don't believe enuff.Or- too much . . .
Iz a Goff soz itz all black. Dat makez it stronga soz I kan smash dem oomies but good! But yea I dun use it much anymore itz all bout dat flash now. Shiny Choppa is best!
Eh I like dah sparky axe like any ova git but itz to slow! Dem Grots just don't zoggin stay still! So...I likes dah Good Old Choppa wiv some mod......modi.....uuhh...... added on bitz. (Penetration plus Damage Boost... least until I get the Ghost Choppa or the Burny Choppa)
As i mentioned (Slightly Offtopicly) In this thread http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/dem-speedy-flamey-bitz-dont-werk.65053/ It wouldn't be infeasible to make Ork paint work like CSM Marks. It's not likely something that'll be done though.
