Only if you roll significantly better on your HoW than I ever do.

I'd actually say Edge of Eternity is better at killing vehicles because you hit on a 2+ instead of a 3+ when hitting vehicles that moved and walkers. You'll hit with all attacks most of the time and as said, with armourbane you'll glance/pen most vehicles on almost every hit.

You don't hit on a 2+ with the Edge of Eternity. That's the issue if it did we all agree it would be amazing. But the 2+ rule is meaningless as Typo'd in the Ebook version and not existent in the official Hard or Soft back rules.

If you stop saying "official", people will stop yelling at you about it.

Just because it is a Precision Strike doesn't make it an automatic Hit.
You still need to succeed on that To Hit roll.

Honestly there's so many debatable things about it right now that the simplest solution is to just ignore it.

The literal reading of precision strikes is that it assumes you were going to hit (given that a 6 would always be a hit under the standard version of the rule) and tells you to assign a hit wherever you like, which isn't necessarily the most sensible way to apply it.

Plus the actual given rule isn't precision strikes 2+, it's Executioner 2+ (Grant Precision Strikes).

Add that if you're being honest, it's only in one version of the book...

You're going to have to debate your opponent for five minutes every time you want to use it to untangle how the two of you are prepared to apply it this time around.

So yes, best to just stick with the already very good Theremite and God Shackle.

There is still a difference between debatable and "debatable".
I showed this to someone and his reaction was: "Ooh, so he can allocate the wounds on a 2+ instead of a 6? Cool."

There are a lot of rules that don't work when you go really deep into them, but that's not what 99% of the players do (not even online).
And I'd rather play this Edge of Eternity than a 2+/3++ that can re-roll the failed saves, because that is a bit ridiculous.

2 versions of the rules disagree that the 2+ even exists 1 typo that is meaningless is being jumped on by people.
