Are ork-axes even slower than LSM/CSM axes?

    Playing the Khornate Berserker regularly, when I land a heavy attack with the chainaxe I can use the stun to follow up with another light attack.

    Doing so as ork with a choppa-axe has proven unsuccessful. I can land the heavy attack (in itself a feat), but the stun wears off before I can land the following light attack.

    Is this intended? Or am I imagining it?
    Gazrick and Sonbot like this.
  2. Anyone noticed stealth nerf on electro clubba? Things slower than the axe now

    Yes axes are slower than marine equivalent , looks like I should build another video to show the devs

    Both weapons have been made slower than the Klaw? Using the Clubba, you can't use a heavy attack to counter a Dbash, as the Dbash will hit you before you've finished charging the heavy attack. It's been this way since the patch before the balance update? It could have been longer. There was two days of Krumpin' before both weapon classses speed was nerfed to the ground.

    I can't particularly claim this of the Ork Axe, as I've got the impression it's the same, and I've not tried it.
  4. This is why I quit for a bit I'm sick to death of changes for the worst when devs don't even play irk or have any idea about mechanics. Most ork players play because they love irks not because they have great gear. Most orks are vets so it gives impression they are strong

    I run into this problem no matter what race I pick.

    Axes and maces are in a shit place for all factions, devs don't seem to care enough to even bother about it.

    Axes and Maces were destroyed as weapon classes across orks LSM and CSM. Chainaxe may be the one exception not sure...generally though all axes and mauls are way too slow to be effective.
  7. Can confirm axe and electro club a is borked , dbash is pretty useless as the attack speed is too slow after a successful bash , meaning the marine just laughs and counters with bullets to the face

    Marine Axes do seem quicker, and in particular chain axes are noticably superior to their counterparts. Perhaps they accidentally avoided a nerf? Or the other weapons accidentally avoided a boost?
