      • He tried it on 6S and it worked fine, then Grant decided, right, let's up it 12S. Boom!

        • It depresses me that i'm running hatchet's axe on 6s this year and as powerful as that's going to be Joule is going to make it look like it's giving an encouraging shoulder tap.

                    I thought my s900 6s axe was decent... Until I saw Joule.

                        Don't worry. Joule is based on Beta so no wonder it hits hard. But until Grant gets the electromagnets working... it will just toss itself around the arena.. or out of it. If he does get them working without bursting into flames... then you may need to worry and get some more top armour.

                        I am more worried about Decimator from AUS and Shard, the replacement for NST.

                              No, this is me secretly terrified you will be able to punch through my 3.6mm Ti 5 armour :-P I am pretty sure you will get it working, I just wonder if it will live up to what the maths says it can do. From a technical stand point I would love it to work flawlessly... from a 'I might have to face it' stand point I hope it does a Beta and gets stuck to the floor.
