Firstly, it looks top tier visually. Props to the design team. Regular attack animation is a little hidden gem from Jagex. I’ve seen so many people shitting on it, calling it a mistake from Jagex… but it’s meant to be a spec weapon, not a main hand weapon. Compare it to claws; you wield them on both hands menacingly, and the regular attack is a cat scratch. If someone claw scratches in your raid, you laugh at them. Now, if someone kisten bonks in your raid, you also laugh at them. Its place in the meta is an interesting one. Has a few BIS places but not by much mainly due to voidwaker being a nightmare to balance around and claws being crept on… but I don’t see why it can’t be as strong as claws and even hit as hard as claws where crush if used. Heck, make it hit even harder? Thematically a big ball and chain should do a lot of damage and makes it stand out more rather than marginally better. Interested to hear others’ thoughts on it. submitted by /u/International-Arm633
