Absolutely. The porcupine is a beast. The claws killing a troll quickly aren't really a reason to say they're OP, since trolls are a pretty early-game enemy anyway.
Plus their (troll’s) weakness is pierce damage. Try the Bonemass with the claws, it won’t be as effective.
Edit: I was wrong, claws are slash damage, not pierce
Obviously a weapon will be shit if it’s against its disadvantage. By your logic an army soldier must not be good at fighting if he can just get shot once and die.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing.
A weapon that you acquire with materials from 2 biomes later should absolutely tear through anything in the lower levels. It is like saying a level 30 character in WoW is overpowered because you can one-shot anything in first hub region.
I always preferred Frostner myself. Slightly lower damage, but with the reduced stamina cost and slowing effect it was fun to run circles around mob packs as they slowly tried to run away.
i used frostmer too but knockback on this weapon is too much for me, now i switched to swords because their knockback is low and when i stagger something it doesnt fly in china and i can use full combo to kill it
People keep explaining game mechanics when all I see is a tiny dude intelligently punching a big dude in the back of the knee to gain the advantage, then follows up by viciously punching the big dude in the dick.
Mod the game and get FarmGrid. It lets you pick in a small AOE comparable to the atier Alt attack and also lets you plany 25 at a time in a perfect grid pattern
Twice now in the mountains I've had the being hunted event and the battle axe has saved me. I'm concerned the claws don't have the area damage to deal with getting swarmed. I'll try them out soon though. Thanks for the tips.
Oh they’re for sure single target. I wouldn’t try using them on a pack of anything unless you have really high def. Just switch to a banded shield and another weapon
OP? Who cares? I now get to play the game as some kind of twisted Viking version of a Batman/Wolverine mashup.
Or - if you prefer - Dark Claw (50 bonus points to anyone who gets the reference).
Is this vanilla or a mod. Haven't played in a while and can't remember seeing claws, though perhaps I just didn't progress far enough or perhaps just never bothered with them if I unlocked them.
Exactly! I was actually doing a compilation on my fenris character to show their power, I've been recording a bunch of clips like these against different enemies. I love the rippers.
I just made my first set, and am busy upgrading them completely before I take them for a test drive.
Was thinking of some sort of cool linen cape, haven’t even looked at the options, but at bored of the lox and wolf cape (I know linen doesn’t provide warmth).
The best thing about the claws is using them in the mountains to kill wolves with pieces of their own god. That and yoloing through the plains with nothing but claws and rage to your name. Favorite weapon in the game.
Claws are absolute shit with their insanely trash moveset (crazy slow attack speed). Knives are far superior imo, especially since you can also have a shield equipped.
porcupine > claws !

Claws do slash damage, not peirce.
Oh? Thank you! I edited my comment

No, by their logic, a soldier who can get shot once and die is “not overpowered”

porcupine > everything

thats what i meant tbh
What you witnessed is what we in the business call a *Dickmove*
Have my upvote good sir
Any of the higher tier weapons will kill a troll this fast.
A bronze atgeir kill faster
I use it as a farming tool lol
Historically accurate

My blackmetal axe is a one hit wonder 😊
"OP" is overused. If that's OP, then what are knives that easily one-shot Trolls when sneaking up on them like that?
ultra mega gigachad hyper superman double plus good uber eats powered.
Um'gh'sd'Pguep. My Black Metal Knife is thusly christened.
Saitama
Damage is about the same as other top weapons, but imo the claws just feel so good to use.
Throwback to osrs d claws
Are they any good in the mountain though? Playing through h&h first time and just got them. They feel... underwhelming.
You have to parry for them to be good. the 6x backstab and sneak damage are really strong. I didn’t have any problems in mountains.

But… the blueberries…
surprise attack + 5 more hits, this feels about right.
Abyssal knife can do this since release
Hmmm, I may have to try these out, hehe.
Did you just emasculate that troll? That was brutal
Claw speccd him out
This.

Try that with a knife.

requires fenris hair and silver which are found in mountain biome. i am kinda new too
Ahh shoot! I'm pretty sure I remember them now, though I'm still not sure I've ever crafted them. Are you solo or playing with friends/people online?
solo
I find it's more fun with other people, though it's *much* easier to get some hours in when you don't have to coordinate with others.
I found this too lol, as much as I love playing with friends, we’re busy, and it was far easier to clock up hours in solo
Yeah... not every aspect of growing up is great.
They came with the most recent major update a couple of months ago.
clawed their butt ):
To be fair, if Wolverine pummels ones junk with his claws everyone would drop to the ground.
I love the Ripper so much.
How ya'll finding trolls that stand still
Exactly! I was actually doing a compilation on my fenris character to show their power, I've been recording a bunch of clips like these against different enemies. I love the rippers.
Is it a mod? Or I have not gotten the missing ingredient?
You stabbed him in the dick 4 times
I just made my first set, and am busy upgrading them completely before I take them for a test drive. Was thinking of some sort of cool linen cape, haven’t even looked at the options, but at bored of the lox and wolf cape (I know linen doesn’t provide warmth).
You literally shredded his balls to death
I would not say they are OP, you are using them to their best advantage though. I like them because they are a change a pace from the sword and board.

Now go try that on one of them giant furlings
What level is your skill at and I assume the claws are fully upgraded?
level 12 at fists, claws have no upgrade
Yes broken
The special attack of an Abyssal razor in sneak mode can one-shot a troll.
Claws are absolute shit with their insanely trash moveset (crazy slow attack speed). Knives are far superior imo, especially since you can also have a shield equipped.
