The hack was originally Identical to the Scythe, literally IDENTICAL, it even required the same loot and resources (in fact I think it still does ?) which leads me to believe not that it was designed with the combat balance in mind or any great plan, but some lazy sod just copied the scythe game object and changed the 3d model.
That is why it's so similar to the Scythe.

Ad ap3 and change dmg type to something different as blast or kinetic. Maybe even reduce the dmg a bit than. Thats pretty much it.
As a swordsmen i see myself as a very offensiv minded profession - i use both of my hands to attack, so it should be the most powerfull
About pve - i can't complain about pve, IMHO we are pretty powerfull here, Nightsisters, Krayts, Acklay and his folks in the geno cave - with a nice armor and good buffs its all beatable (ok - soloing 400k krayts is a waste of time and armor - but possible)
The only problem are these 100% kin/blast resistance Mobs - it's pretty odd if you cant hurt them.
About pvp: Well, i would not ask for a stun weapon. Of course - stun dmg is great for pvp, but imho there is the biggest problem in pvp - layered composite armor. Even a not base sliced armor has a pretty descent protection on all base stats, leaving only stun as a dmg type. Changing the Armor would be the way to make pvp more intresting again - add more vulnerabilities to the armor so you would have to choose what armor you want to use, and what dmg type you want to attack ("stone scissor paper" way). I really pray that this issue will be taken care of with the combat balances.

This goes live in 3 days, and still not even so much as an ACKNOWLEDGMENT from the devs?
I see they haven't answered any Hack questions on the Friday Feature thread either

Well, it doesnt look like any changes are going to be made. I know I have no plans of ever bothering to get one of these, much less use one, if it goes live as it currently is.

Ahh.. This is so sad.. Now we're getting this piece of crap-weapon.. That is also an insurance to us that something is going to be taken away.. Why gives us something for free? They never do that so I presume our areahit will be nerfed or something. (ok, that is my guess, dont start spamming around that it is sure to happen)...
Lets just hope they remove this thing soon.

Anyone have any idea what goes into this little toy of ours?
Atm I believe it requires the exact same components/resources as a Scythe (which means it requires Sword cores even though its an Axe..).
