Is It True?, Is The Galatine A Piece Of @#$% Now?

Heavy weapons tend to be awful against ranged units now. Unlike before when you could at least approached them with a charged swing, you must go through their combo to reach the powerful combo strikes. Which stops you from moving so it's more risky to use. And the mobility of Rending Crane and Cleaving Whirl are fairly low compared to other stances, so you're unlikely to close that gap. Overall, Crushing Ruin on a hammer is way more effective at everything than Rending Crane or Cleaving Whirlwind. Loads of damage, huge range on the AoE and it carries you a farther distance faster. 

Edit: Just went to run some tests between Rending Crane and Crushing Ruin on Magistar and Galatine.
Even with impact being inferior to slash damage against Grineer, Magistar was pulling off decently higher numbers. Both somehow managed to top out at 490 crit damage, probably also nabbing headshots, headshot damage just maxed out at 800 for the magistar, don't know about Galatine now. But the larger, faster AoE of crushing ruin could hit upwards of 75 damage to Lancers, the smaller, slower AoE of Rending Crane hit 63.

Why don't you try by yourself first, so you can actually make your own opinion?
