I love doing this. Due to the amount of BladeDancers in Iron Banner, it's so fun to lure them in with their Arc Blade, activate Hammer of Sol, and watch them get vaporized by your Animation Clank sound (Edit: that intializes a small explosive burst) RIGHT AS they're in front of you. This works with other enemies as well. [spoiler]Warlocks with Overshield are greatly damaged but cannot be killed with this tactic. But hey, afterwards, that's what our hammers are for...[/spoiler] [spoiler]Normal Phalanx walls can be broken and destroyed upon activation of the HoS animation equipped w/ Scorched Earth. (It's a gamble when used against Fleet Phalanxes due to their increased health.) [/spoiler] [spoiler]It can be used on a horde of enemies if cornered, trapped, or surrounded.[/spoiler] Just equip Scorched Earth with Fire Keeper and the Sunspot blast from activating HoS will blow up anyone in your face. It's blast radius is little to none so they have to be within striking melee distance and it is important that you do not do this whilst airborne, otherwise it will not work. It's a great idea but quite risky due to this idea only being sufficient during close combat, but..... *sighhhhh* it's so fun and awesome if you pull it off perfectly... Lol Edit: Due to popular belief and testing in PvP, it has been revealed that it is an instant kill if the enemy player has taken little damage beforehand. With full health and half a shield, they die. Any more than that and the enemy player will survive. At least until you've successfully killed them with a hammer afterwards. It's a lot more sufficient in PvE though. Overall, this is a "mini-version landfall attack". It's more defensive than it is offensive, but in the midst of attempting this, you're either able to successfully execute it and live due to your Fire Keeper perk, but without it, you'll be as good as dead. [spoiler]Fire Keeper: Create sunspots anywhere your HoS hits, (this includes the activation of HoS with Scorched Earth) and you also gain a protective Overshield while standing in a sunspot which can make HoS last longer.[/spoiler] Edit: There have been different situations testing this, considering the comments on this thread. So down to the final question: How much health does an enemy player have after becoming the victim to this, guys? (BladeDancers are easy prey but it seems a little farfetched to think that a Arc Blader can be killed more easily than that of a normal Guardian...) Edit: I think there are some of those here whom don't understand what I'm getting at. I'm talking about the explosive burst of fire dealing damaging blows right as the *Clank* of your super occurs. Not the burning of the sunspot upon activation. Although the Sunspot burns people too close to you, I'm not talking about that. ......Too much editing...... >_<
