Oh man this perk being one the best perks and now this is hot trash. The Kotal Khan of perks. How did this fall off well I'll tell you ammo got increased yep this single handle put this on the streets only for it to be pick up in a dump truck. Now i can't sit here and bash the perk even though I want to but when need to stop because we need change we need a solution. Shattering blade now actives Evey 10 ammo consumption. Buffing or making this perk different ain't easy. But at least this have a parachute when jumping out a plane weather if the parachute works or not is beyond me. 2nd change- holding the weapon arts button to activate shattering blade at the cost of more ammo consumption. Seem like the parachute is going work but we gotta think of the people that is falling with us witch is other perks. In the column depending on what sword your using. Throne clever has things like tireless blade, relentless strikes nothing to really worry about but just in case have things like engarde, whirlwind blade, assassin blade. Yea only two swords have this if I'm not mistaken. Still we need shattering blade to compete with other things and perks without it living up to its name which is a shattered blade. Now I had to update this because of aztercross video and let me tell you this is a false sense if hope for all you sword people and here's why. 560% increase was shown with crownsplitter with tractor cannon. Pretty cool huh wrong, you won't have a buddy in your lobby all the time and the optimal CSR (crownsplitter) roll will have about 56 swipes so not only do you have to eat threw that ammo but have a buddy with you to tiger uppercut your target. Then this guy had stronghold which is very counterintuitive with shattering blade. Not only you don't lose ammo when blocking but you waste your last swipe in exchange for max dps and is it worth it. Maybe or maybe not, I usually always save my sword at the very last swipe in order to keep my ass alive. But no sword means no strong hold, so... Idk I just didn't like the video it just shows that people who try and use swords don't understand them. Without tractor it's 390% increase I believe but still you have to eat threw all that ammo and God forbid you have scavengers on your armour it makes matters worse. One more thing when is this useful, in menagerie there is raid banners everywhere and it's hard to run out of ammo if done properly with stronghold. If heavyweight is active you can literally have infinite ammo with a sword but that's a secret safe with me. In raids you running out of ammo is not even a thing most of your damage coming from outbreak. To one shot a ultra orge, you can 3 or 4 swing him other wise I believe in Cos. In strikes I usually have lots of sword ammo now so your going to slam repeatedly just to get that perk to activate, most strike bosses feel the wrath of windego and Raven so good luck flexing your damage. In short terms this is just too situational and if you have stronghold then what's the point. Your sacrificing your infinite pocket heal for damage that will incredible wound your target but what about afterwards if you didn't kill him. I just don't like this video, this was just not good to me and speads false sense of hope for swords and my man crownsplitter. The damage increase is cool but to me too situational for it to be used. Shattering blade the jobber perk.
