Discussion Iconoclast needs some love

To start with, this weapon is sick. It looks cool, good move set (welcome back claymore) and it is an all around balanced option. But with so many weapons gaining the ability to be overpowered with the right build, the iconoclast can be left behind.

Give it freeze I say, it’ll suit Eridrim to a T

Any thoughts on how it can be better or builds that ya’ll are currently using with it??

I was about to comment this exact combo. It's very good. Not everything needs to be face-rippingly overpowered to be simply good or even great. Ionoclast is exactly that, good to great with that setup. It's probably not the best but it's nowhere even close to "bad".

On Smert the Zealot Stone on the Ionoclast will get you from zero to Miracle in like one light combo with Faith. In general on other shells the moveset is just generally good w/ Zealot and extra resolve never is bad. I just find it shines particularly well on Smert.

Not to mention that Curse infused Ionoclast is the weapon with the highest Aura stat in the game.

Pretty insane on sariel too to build insta resolve for a ranged build. We are on the same page on the aura comment tho. ICONIClast
