Massive

Massive is a talent in the Crusher branch of the Windrose Talent System. Unconditional flat damage scaling on all two-handed weapons.

Summary

Effect by Rank

Covered Weapons

Massive applies to two-handed weapons across the melee families. Each family also scales from a core stat that the percentage bonus stacks on top of.

Stat Scaling

The bonus is a flat multiplier on two-handed weapon damage, so it compounds with stat investment rather than replacing it. The Halberd scales from Strength, while the Greatsword scales from Agility. Either way, Massive contributes the same +10% at rank 3 because it applies to the two-handed category as a whole.

Mandatory for every Crusher build. No conditions, no ramp. Stacks with Pikeman Set 4P (+15% two-handed damage) and with Bonecrusher on Crude two-handed weapons.

Build Role

Massive is the flat-damage backbone for Crusher the way Quick Strikes is for Fencer. The +10% at rank 3 is unconditional, universally useful, and the first pick in every two-handed build.

Pick Order

Massive sits at Tier 1 with no prerequisite, so it is normally the first investment in a two-handed build. Taking all three ranks early applies the +10% to every swing through the leveling curve and opens the deeper Crusher tiers sooner. The points carry over if you swap between a Halberd and a Greatsword build, so there is no need to hold them for a respec at a Bonfire.

Math Example

An Executioner halberd doing 365 Crude per swing becomes 402 Crude at rank 3 Massive. Over an eight-swing Thomas Richards boss fight, that is roughly 300 extra total damage.

Notes

• Stacks additively with Pikeman Set 4P (+15% two-handed damage) for +25% total flat multiplier.

• Does not benefit dagger, Rapier, or firearm builds. This is a two-handed-only talent.
