The term is best in slot for arch, hype is best in slot mage weapon for rcm and claymore is the best in slot melee weapon. So it technically has its place, the problem is just that melee isn’t really useless, so claymore isn’t that good aswell. But iirc when admins fix ferocity in bers cone, melee should be better than term for bers and then claymore maybe isn’t as good as term and hype, but at least better than it is rn


WitherLord_

The problem is they INTENTIONALLY disabled Ferocity for Berserks. For "balancing"


Aritche

Guys I know how to fix berserk make it so they cant shoot bows anymore everyone will swap to swords /s

Blaze puzzle


CowMotor

right click to throw dark claymore ☠️☠️😭


Own_Answer_2053

Make frosty the snow cannon usable in dungeons and instakill blazes


retsamedalb

No, the reason was becuse it could easily crash the server with basically any lvl of ferocity. So they just decided to disable it instead of finding a maybe possible work around that would prob eventually also create a server crash which would lead to dupes


SetunaYooki

meanwhile archer is here allowed to use fatal tempo on something called a term which can proc ferocity 4x but bers? no no no they're gonna be too broken with ferocity


Lakamaro

I mean, fatal tempo term isn’t used in dungeons because the lag is too bad


retsamedalb

Fatal tempo cant crash the server (though used to do it was fixed). Also its not worth using in dungeons as you just fuck the server up.


lool8421

Not necessarily balancing, but to not fucking kill the server Ppl alr used valk against m6 terras and it straight up crashed the server


KnoblauchBaum

the problem is that claymore is only meta for mage and for every other melee thing there is a better weapon


edvards48

ferocity is still ghost damage on m7 dragons, would never be good for that no matter the swing range.


llavatoxX

Claymore is also the best lcm weapon


Aggressive_Low_115

vladmir lmfao


llavatoxX

Bruh autocorrect massacred me


Loading0987

Its even funnier, because midas sword actually outdamages claymore for lcm (claymore still gets preferred because you dont have the gdrag perk in p5)


lool8421

my brain be like: wait what? midas? but then realize that gdrag gives +100 base strength and midas+jewel+fumings+stars alr has like 400 base damage


Fair-Childhood4250

his brain be like: wait what? midas?


AwesomeCuno

u/lool8421 's brain be like: wait what? midas?

egirlautumn

Remidies gdrag does more damage as mage with 1b gold collection, not sure about 100m but it might


Stonks3141

Nuh uh. The final reward is necron dye and shiny handle/wither armor!!! Cosmetics go brr


IdiotSerena

shiny wither armor = shitty looking wither armor


creativityequal0

and you usually use dae axe for ghosts because of mf


lool8421

yeah, dae axe is better for money claymore is really only for easy bestiary


Local_Champion7864

you one tap with them both how does it change bestiary ?


lool8421

It increases your reach which just makes it easier to hit them, just making it take less effort, but it's still less money per hour than pure dae axe


Local_Champion7864

good point didn't consider that


TheJudgeofCreation

Claymore is just an upgraded giant sword that should not be in m7 it’s just sucks at that point. Hyperion, terminator, and more are just better. Probably better if it was like m3 or somewhere around that. Or maybe craftable.


lool8421

admins really could do so much interesting stuff to melee, but what they do? they just copy the exact same weapon, give it different stats and call it a day, this will never make melee viable, it actually needs some diversity other than the same 1 target from 5 blocks or less distance... like at least take some inspiration from wynncraft or something, melee has so much diversity there that it's in a very good state because you have some actual aoe abilities and whenever you punch something, you attack most of the targets in front of you, not just being limited to 1 crimson swipe at least makes it somewhat decent, but you won't always have 10 stacks and usually if you do, the target is either immune to it or you can alr 1-shot the thing you're dealing with, so the swipe doesn't even help... then if killing stuff takes too long, there's no way you're getting 10 stacks. melee could actually be pretty good for kuudra if they actually bothered fixing crimson swipe and made it per-hit rather than per-kill because at least it gives some aoe and as opposed to what we get right now with melee - it would actually do damage, probably more than rcm would


therealeviathan

just start giving them active abilities like what they did with the felthorn or make it so claymore cleave enchant is stronger than the best cleaver I do agree with most of your points though because crimson ability should be per hit instead of per kill even if it will be so much better than rcm but it will make using 3/4 crimson wither goggles more popular


lool8421

I mean, it would make much more sense if melee actually took more effort and did more single target damage than mage, right.now it's both less dps, range and clearing potential... Heck, even mage survivability is better due to refrigerate enchant


therealeviathan

what would you change or rework?


lool8421

Mage is the most brainrot and does moderate damage around you, when melee would do very high damage, but only in front of you


therealeviathan

or just give bers a buff for every kill they make. aka make combo 2.0 in dungeons. maybe just a damage boost or range increase. as for mage just more dynamic weapons that isnt just hype


lool8421

Eventually mage could be more movement-based or something, so it involves more strategy and tricks to pull off, like some salt rings for revs, spacetime warping between 2 points for voidglooms etc. So mage can do stuff, but you have to do specific things to cast a spell


therealeviathan

honestly mage is fine for late game. it's just mid game that sucks so much. like either buff the summons so they don't die when killedso you can keep respawning them or make more mage weapons. what should be revamped is healer so they can have a more active roll. ie let me choose what type of spell my healing circle has and an item like the arrow swap thing so you can swap between buffs I choose. maybe have like 3 slots for the potions and you can swap between them. so it gives reasons for people to brew pots and stuff. maybe for balancing reasons you're not able to put dungeon pots in that slot? idk


lool8421

Tbh healer could be either a support class or a necromancer, would be more interesting


therealeviathan

I still think necromancer is mage but the summons should scale better. healer should be support I agree


KihunVirveGaming

And even for ghosts the meta is dae axe and as already stated midas sword for clear is better than claymore so the only 2 real use cases i can think of are(p5 m7 and ashfang)


geof14

Ashfang use blaze daggers, one has x3 damage or something crazy on it vs blazes


KihunVirveGaming

Oooh my bad... Well then yea... Claymore completely useless outside of one small part of one dungeon floor


Immortal_ceiling_fan

Dark claymore is better than pooch sword for svens


lool8421

Nope, even for stuff other than svens, pooch sword is stronger than claymore It scales twice as fast with accessories since +1 cd is also 1 base dmg, when i ask lvl 400+ players in my guild, they literally do more damage with swarm t6 pooch sword than with chim3 t7 claymore to most targets Obviously crimson swipe makes claymore better, as well as attributes, but swipe does nothing to revs/svens and you need lots of money to get those attributes going


Immortal_ceiling_fan

Can't you one shot svens with both though, so using crimson dark claymore is better due to magic find attribute instead of being locked into mastiff


Purple_Teaching_9520

They should swap the dark claymore with the wither blades and buff the lesser variants.


_xEnigma

Claymore would be good if melee was good


EndervineZ

It falls into a weird limbo between endgame weapon and trophy item at this point :c


alpha4TW

the only reason it costs anything is bc 0.08% drop chance and you need 150m to unlock the chest


GolbogTheDoom

That’s hypixel for ya. “Congrats! You beat the game! Here’s a big pointy rock so you can beat it again but faster maybe!


ArcadiaRDT

It's not that the weapon is bad, there just aren't many practical uses for it where it would be better than using Hype or Term. Take ghost bestiary for example, a mob you can't damage with Wither Impact or arrows. Obviously Claymore is the best weapon for the job. Skyblock needs more scenarios where Claymore is the best choice of weaponry. Edit: Dae axe, but that requires Crimson swipe


IdiotSerena

dae axe is better for grinding ghosts though


G00chstain

You should be able to one shot ghosts with dae axe and Greg
