I dont understand exactly where you all are coming from... Ultimate PvP weapon? This thing isnt gonna do crap to TKA's or anyone with 80 percent plus kinetic proection armor, which sadly, everyone has... I like the PH much better becuase its blast, and if you can spend enough, you can swing it once every second as well... Sure its fast, but you'll only do like 80 damge to composite users...

I wonder with that thing if we can become the 'damage class' finally instead of the TKA.

Looks good, but I dont know if it would be better to get this blade crafted after the combat pass, since I would have thought, our stats / accuracy mods etc would have been changed..

I think they are coming from the stand point that despite the fact it is kinetic damage, it is Armor Piercing 2 (medium), and thus pretty much negates armor wearable by characters....

Every 2h weapon is Medium armor piercing, which would be good If that meant anything in PvP but armor piercing seems to be broken in PvP.

Hmmm, thats a bummer. Of course I don't do enough pvp to really even notice

PH is too slow and it has bad accuracy mods vs other melee chars and considering its wide dmg range, melee mitigation hurts it much, its only good pounding on pure range peeps

not every 2-hand weapon is medium armor piercing. heavy axe for one is ap0 and vibro axe is ap1 which wis why the vibro axe is so worthless and no one uses it. i mean they should chgange the damage type to something else like energy or something just to give it a use in something.

Couple Questions:
Okay, so should I get it now, or after the combat pass? The combat pass is gonna take forever to get here, and Im anxious...
Can I do the quest more than once?
When I get the schematic, I can only get two scythes out of it?
Pikeman dont have a stun polearm, and fencers do kinetic damage except for stun baton. You want stun damage, elec is not good against comp.
