(Some things to note though: Because the majority of the pick's damage comes from swirling and shockwave, it scales relatively poorly with percentage damage boosts from armor or enchantments like cowardice, and scales much better with attack speed. I definitely recommend picking one up yourself, but only if you find one with the right enchantments of course. So strong, that a few of my past max level armaments now feel weak and redundant in comparison. In summary- the pickaxe is now very strong. Depending on which attack the boss opened with (summoning mooshrooms or melee), I did occasionally take a single hit before the boss went down. Both of these weapons were the only ones I owned that were able to kill the mooshroom monstrosity with his near 800k health in just under the 7 second effect of the gong's duration. Surprisingly to me, the results were actually incredibly similar. This was partly because its annoying to charge up each time, and also because I wanted to test these weapons raw DPS. I am of course barring the use of bows in this instance since both my harp crossbow and guardian bow have one shot the boss before, as well as weapons with the dynamo enchantment. This is without a strength potion, and only utilizing the a level 115 gong of weakening, as well as level 113 renegade armor with the Cowardice enchantment. I then pitted these bindings vs the pickaxe and tested the speed at which I could eliminate the mooshroom monstrosity.

But recently I found another level 114 pair of bindings from a daily trial with a God roll of enchantments for single target annihilation.

Because each hit lets out its damage in the form of multiple waves of attacks I found it was particularly useful vs shielded enemies as well given I could one hit vanguards in the desert temple.īut what about single target DPS? Nothing is more satisfying then taking down ultra beefy targets faster then they even have time to unleash their first attack right? I have two sets of fighters bindings, the one mentioned above that I used for full dungeon clear testing actually has very poor performance when it comes to taking down boss monsters (at least compared to my other weaponry). Much of the time I even forgot to use my deathcap mushroom (save for encounters with powerful enemies like redstone golems) simply for the fact that I didn't need it even to clear large crowds of enemies. Its something that is difficult to understand just from the video Suev uploaded, and more something you have to use yourself to understand fully just how much better it was compared to the rest. That said, if focusing on clear speed and effectiveness over the others- the sheer damage output of the pickaxe was so absurd it felt as if I had reached a new power level altogether.

Keep in mind that given how I have an ability power of 113, I run over ordinary apocalypse VII levels anyways regardless of which weapon in my arsenal I decide to use. My wither armor used in testing is also one of the few pieces of equipment that I own which lacks any percentage damage buffs/ enchantments. I ran several full clear runs on the Mooshroom level, Obsidian Pinnacle, Cacti Canyon, Desert Temple, and Fiery Forge on apocalypse VII in order to get a good feel for it's ability to clear mobs. Both of those weapons have base damages of 711, and 2825 respectively. I then tested it out vs both my level 113 fighters bindings (Gravity, swirling, radiance), as well as my level 113 whirlwind axe (crit, swirling, radiance). Luck was with me, and I found a pickaxe with both of those enchantments practically my first run in the redstone mines, and then immediately my luck ran out when I proceeded to spend over 4 hours upgrading it dozens of times until I finally got it to level 113- IE making it now comparable to my best weaponry. Having grinded out and tested a lot of weapons/builds before the creeping winter update, I was obviously very excited to get a hands on test.

This is owing to the fact that of all the weapons available with a single hit combo like the great hammer or the soul knife, the pickaxe by far has the highest attack speed, resulting in each hit dealing incredible single target and aoe damage. Context for those who haven't seen it yet, youtuber Suev released a new video recently titled The NEW Best Weapon in Minecraft Dungeons, that basically stated that due to the new changes with the creeping winter update- which have changed the pickaxe to a single hit combo- the pickaxe when equipped with the swirling and shockwave enchantment has become the most powerful weapon available even when compared to already very in-meta pieces of equipment like the fighters bindings or the whirlwind axe.
