Currently just theory testing an idea with this weapon. Even putting [Carnis Mandible] on this to make slash the highest damage it still seems to proc less than impact and explosive damage.
Heavy attack, slash, crit build
I run the [Helstrum] on my sentinel as a stat stick so I can focus on making the slash damage as high as possible on this and my sentinel will spam the viral procs.
Since this is not a very commonly used weapon the riven disposition is potent.
Throw the hammer by holding melee, and then detonate a midair explosion with heavy-swing button.
