YAVP: Double Heavy Double Harm Hand Cannons

Got tired of wiping to stupid decisions and wanted to wreck some faces, so I slapped together a CoHu I was expecting to o+p to death in short order. Early game went smoother than expected, and before I knew it I was in possession of a hand cannon thanks to an early ?acq. Shortly after, Oka gifted me a second cannon, but this one was heavy.

I was a little worried about the above 1.0 attack speed, but I had Finesse on tap and a huge stack of !haste so I figured wth. The 70+ (in Lair) damage was making short work of everything, and heroism was bumping damage up to like 90. When I finally came across a ?brand I used it on the other cannon hoping for a second heavy. It took me a few attempts, but I finally rolled double heavies.

Along the way, I came across a fantastic scarf that had Harm, so I figured why not. This is a fuck around character, so nbd if I wipe. But I just started killing faster, so when I had the chance to equip a second Harm for a full +45% outgoing damage… I couldn’t resist.

I ended up in a few sticky situations, but the raw killing power and ability to just stand on a stair case and clear the floor meant I had plenty of consumables to spare. I only felt like I was in mortal danger two or three times. Meanwhile, I’d easy take out two enemies with a single (p)ull of the trigger if the first bullet killed them outright, too bad I didn’t get the Indiana Jones vault.

Here I am one shotting an orb of fire

An orb of fire comes into view.
You shoot a slug. The slug hits the orb of fire!!!!
The orb of fire is severely damaged.
You shoot a slug. The slug hits the orb of fire!!!
You destroy the orb of fire!
Okawaru is honoured by your kill.

And this Finessed ridiculousness that speaks for itself…

Your attack delay is about 0.7 (and cannot be improved with additional weapon
skill).
Your damage rating with your +9 heavy hand cannon {Somchai} is about 119 (Base
[16 + 12 (Hvy)] x 165% (Dex) x 223% (Skill) + 16 (Ench + Slay)).
Your damage rating with your +0 heavy hand cannon {Yuina} is about 110 (Base
[16 + 12 (Hvy)] x 165% (Dex) x 223% (Skill) + 7 (Slay)).
Your base attributes are Str 12, Int 12, Dex 28.

That doesn’t include the 45% Harm which puts this bad mother fucker at a potential 330 damage alpha.

5 Thanks

When you get a good ranged character up and running things just die at the edge of LOS and it is beautiful. I’ve had this happen with a couple CoHu and a few DgHu. It is so fun.
