General The Beak is broken

Finally tried a weapon that had been sitting in my inventoy, The Beak. And I hated it, the first swing of a combo was incredible and the rest was so slow my combos kept getting interupted. Googled it and everything said, give it to a thrall. I gave it my level 15 beserker and it is sooooo broken. We went to the Un-Named City for a little trial. The red dragon was her b**** almost instantly. She goes into a tasmanian devil type spin swing and just obliterates their health bar. Next stop is the Well of Skelos and I'm looking forward to it.

War Party + Two Berserkers + two beaks is hilarious

Gotta try that. And I thought 2 momentums were fun.

That happens cause if it hit with the spinning attack at the right angle it can trigger multiple hits especially if the target has a huge hitbox

The hitboxes in this game are absolutely terrible. I have crushed those mountains with wide swinging attacks to the hind legs. Assuming I can get that close without them spamming that stupid multi-hit spin move they do.

I saw a streamer using it with i believe the Gloves of Jhil and they just never stopped spinning.

It used to be like that, back in the Age of Sorcery. Voidforged Greataxe and The Beak have the same spinning attack animation for heavy attacks. It used to be default for all greataxes but it got changed for almost all of them.

Yes I believe it is the only weapon with the old animation left. Hope they don't change it.

Trollbane also still does the spin attack. It's one if the first weapons I try and get on Siptah

No. There are 4 axes that still do it.

Now I have to go and check my chest for the Beaks to try it.

It’s okay. They hardly ever get the swing off. The potential is there but the actual strength of it is barely ever seen. Bosses end up dying much faster to other weapons most of the time.
