I really really love this weapon. It has a style of use that is unique (thought is was going to act like a Troika at first). Really love that the dash attack is not linked to the final hammer swing allowing users to Swing, dash, shield cancel.
Hammers happen to be my all time favorite tool as well (you can solve just about any problem with a good hammer).
meh, never tried one lol.seen them sure.
*sticks to ASI med Heavy Hatchet for T1 ld*
Hahaha oh wow.
I just noticed that the dash does continuous damage do targets the knight is in contact with during the dash, similar to the AP projectile or DA sword beams.
This means it utterly destroys immobile targets such as turrets or large, cornered creatures (Lumbers) because you can't continue sliding forward through them, thus the dash hits them like 12 times.
This weapon is so silly.
@ Sternlock
12? The dash hits up to 3 times maximum.
@ Demonicsothe
Yeah, 1 hit for 1st swing, 3 hits for the dash, and 1 hit for final swing. I have no idea what that Sternlock guy is going on about.
Three, twelve, whatever, I can't tell with the numberspam, it still 1-combos turrets. And that's silly.
cant tell the difference between 12 and 3.......hmmm............i think theres something going on here :)
ie got ta tier 3 rocket hammer and i call the charge double slam. i have noticed ta 1 combo turret kill. ta bomb is ta ownage wepon on jk
i will personally target anyone in LD who has a rocket hammer :D (even though i have one myself)
I've been testing the rocket hammer to see how it stacks up for damage etc VS other weapons and trying to get the most out of it.
Last night I took it into a depth 25 graveyard, and I was able to hit zombies with the dash 5 times. That was the most I could GUARANTEE I was seeing for damage numbers, but since they happen almost simultaneously the numbers all stack up on top of each other.
I am absolutely certain I was getting 5 hits, not sure about 6, but then again at 292 damage a hit on the dash, at 5 hits it pretty well vaporizes zombies anyways.
Carefully dancing around with it, first strike on one zombie, dash into another if it's right beside me (even better if it's stuck against a wall,) then third attack into another zombie (or group) in another direction... I was getting 407, 292, 292, 292, 292, 292, 479 for damage values. That's 7 hits and about 2400 damage for a combo.
To put it into perspective, with the same loadout I was doing 400, 400, 499 with my Combuster, or 1299 total.
(Before anyone freaks that these damage numbers are insanely high even for depth 25, I had Undead Max on both. Deadshot set + Barb. Thorn Shield.)
That makes absolute sense that you'd do double the damage with a pure elemental hammer over a half elemental sword. It's not overpowered. It's just being used against what's weak to it.
I do love the hammer, but it can only hit a single target up to 3 times on the dash. You were probably hitting more than one monster at the same time because it can hit more than one. In the first battle on D26 in FSC, my dash was able to hit over 20 times through 7 zombies... that's like... 6,000 damage on just the dash. Nothing can match that... XD
I was very careful to get accurate results as I always do. Take a look in the wiki editors section to see my damage values thread if you'd like where I've got a lot of data posted in a spreadsheet that I've collected for weapons with missing data values.
I was able to get the hammer to hit ONE ZOMBIE five times on the dash. It isn't easy to do all of the time, but with some practice and finesse it's not hard under the right circumstances. It's fairly easy to do repeatedly if you get a zombie trapped in a corner so there is no knockback, likely if you hit him with the first attack before the dash, two hits from the dash will kill him, but if you want to try it yourself, aim your first attack away from the zombie, then dash into him with him pinned to a wall. You'll get at least 5 hits too.
It certainly isn't overpowered. It may do massive damage to undead and constructs (and pretty good damage to fiends and slimes,) but compared to the elemental brandishes that do acceptable damage to beasts and gremlins because of their normal component, the hammer does almost none (talking 30-some in tier 3.)
What I especially like is how well it beats the buffed defenses of danger room undead and constructs.
Yeah, thank you for making a weapon that could possibly make LD much more 'interesting' *dripping with sarcasm*
Seriously though, the hammer is quite a weapon to have, and would be very useful in normal Clockworks play. It's fun to watch people rushing around and killing whatever they come in contact with with that darn hammer X3
I still love my Combuster more though
I agree,its usage is quite unique and very fun.(not to mention that prototype rocket hammer is amazing in tier 1 lockdown.)but id probably be careful making this thread.....i can sense the f2p community as a whole rioting at this thread.......
