Disclaimer: this is just a fun build for us filthy casuals who still want to have a fun time with the Crucis thunder hammer in 2024.
After hundreds of hours with the Crucis t-hammer, this is probably my best damage-oriented build.
You will mostly be spamming heavy attacks while sliding/dodging for crowd control and will be able to easily clear a whole wave without taking any damage.
Unless you have an army of crushers in front of you, your heavy attack swings will stagger pretty much any type of enemy; keep using heavy attack swings to clear lesser enemies until you're able to use a charged attack on a flak/carapace elite. Ragers and Maulers will be staggered by your heavy swings as well.
Use charged/special heavy attacks on bosses; you will be able to delete any boss in about 3 hits (aim for weak points). If you have a combat stim and do a charged/special heavy attack on its weakpoint (head) you can take it out in 2 swings. No stealth or wound build required.
I use the Vraks Mk VII because I find it to be the most balanced in terms of damage, accuracy and mobility. You'll need something relatively fast and accurate. Las pistol or revolver work well too.
