and have it mostly fill the space

finite nymph
#

The Fan Revolver is really cool but I'm struggling to use it over the accurate friend

opaque crown
#

my knee jerk thought on its role is a fast draw rager blaster

spiral badger
#

it's good at blasting ragers, it's good at running and gunning

finite nymph
#

but the normal one also kills Ragers, often with less ammo

spiral badger
#

but the trade off is ammo for time

opaque crown
#

i think the dissonance really comes from like... its not a smaller version of the normal revolver

#

it fills a different role

spiral badger
#

and I've expressed my feels on that lol

#

it is, however, very funny and cool to dump a cylinder into a rager

#

oh also holding fan stance charges up surgical

#

so you can get some mondo crit setups

opaque crown
#

high noon blessing

finite nymph
#

Maybe that's it, it takes off a lot harder with perk setups

#

I don't have a perfect one so it just feels like more bullets for similar results

spiral badger
#

there's been some posts of using trickshooter+hand cannon+crit talents to just vaporize anything

opaque crown
#

i think my biggest interests rn is doing some runs with the shovel, and also crafting and making some of the new chainaxes

#

that new evis is on my radar too

spiral badger
#

the shovel is extremely good

finite nymph
#

Shovels feel great, new knife feels great

hushed glade
#

me and the boys

spiral badger
#

the vet shovel can also one-shot crushers with the right setup

opaque crown
#

oh i didn't realize there was a knew knife too?

#

whats its shtick?

spiral badger
#

more cleave than old knife

#

less single stab

finite nymph
#

But the special attack is the stab, and they buffed that this patch

opaque crown
#

inch resting

finite nymph
#

So it kind of just feels better

spiral badger
#

reports are that it's probably better than original stab

#

since it fixes the horde clear issues and you don't lose that much single target

finite nymph
#

Also most importantly: fun inspect animation

opaque crown
#

oh also the new chainsword

#

almost forgot about it

spiral badger
#

new chainsword is apparently worse, but I haven't had a chance to try it

#

something about moveset

#

same with new chainaxe

opaque crown
#

hmm, worse like way worse, or worse like "its worse by degrees"

spiral badger
#

according to the people i play with the moveset is more awkward

opaque crown
#

mm

finite nymph
#

I don't think anything is like unviable

spiral badger
#

but that may also be playstyle bias

opaque crown
#

probably worth giving a twirl if i can make a good one either way id imagine

spiral badger
#

the new chainaxe similar to a lot of the other new ones reverses the attacks

#

so lights for horde clear, heavies for strikedown

opaque crown
#

hmm

#

but the lights are where you get the revs right?

spiral badger
#

no, it's a full reversal

opaque crown
#

ohhh

#

i like that

#

ill have to figure out which that is

distant surge
#

can't think of a build for this

cloud hazel
#

if you want tips on new revolver I have been running it on damnation and fragging

#

imo you think about it like a bolter with less panic button potential but far more flexibility with quickswaps

finite nymph
#

For like sudden rager hordes or something?

limpid zinc
#

I think people are struggling to get the heavies to pop off because the targeting is very slightly different but hitting punch-light spam, it's basically the same numbers

#

And yes the new knife cleaves real good

#

My old knife had uncanny 4 mercy 4 and my new one runs uncanny 4 mercy 3, slightly different stat spread

#

In spite of the blessing tier difference it's like I said, kills single targets good as hell still

cloud hazel
#

if youve ever wanted an aim trainer in darktide

#

you can do a pretty good kovacs impression

#

I think trickshooter is probably gonna be the crucian/surgical replacement for the fanning revolver

#

alongside hand cannon because hand cannon is basically the infernus of revolvers

marsh gyro
#

Trickshooter is the last blessing I need for revolver and it eludes me

cloud hazel
#

but the perk that gives +crit for melee kills isn't half bad either especially since it's online for the full fan

limpid zinc
#

That's how it do

#

Last night my friend messaged me about getting mercy 4 on the first level 30 knife bcuz they knew I spent like 50 blues to get it

cloud hazel
#

and swapping from power sword swish swish to last-wording a crusher feels soooo gooood

#

reposting because this is the kind of shit you can do on a 6/10 roll

mint yew
finite nymph
#

maybe that's my problem

#

i don't have hand cannon so it doesn't twoshot fuckin anything

#

every video i see of this thing is so unlike how it feels in practice

opaque crown
#

that reload speed is a huge plus tbh

cloud hazel
#

it is real rough to play either revolver without hand cannon especially post- the nerf to its inherent AP

#

not being able to aim for head on ragers and maulers is an oof

opaque crown
#

the nerf i feel was entirely called for tbh, it was hella over performing

cloud hazel
#

oh no like

#

the gun is clearly insane

opaque crown
#

i think it still drops big bois like sacks rn tho right?

cloud hazel
#

lets agree on that haha

opaque crown
#

with the right blessings like hand cannon i mean

cloud hazel
#

yeah

#

I think without hand cannon you're just better off with the regular revolver, and leaning into its use as a ranged enemy destroyer moreso than the pocket bolter

opaque crown
#

yeah i was thinking like without specialist set up its still a great tool for droppin specialists and elites

spiral badger
#

it still reliably pops anything short of a mauler

opaque crown
#

just stops being the one stop shop for crushers and maulers

cloud hazel
#

the extra versatility from being able to take a gunner's skull instantly is excellent

spiral badger
#

and the new melee weapons add lots of great options for removing maulers and crushers from your life

finite nymph
#

I think another part of my reasoning is like

spiral badger
#

extremely rapidly

finite nymph
#

People love carrying stuff to deal with maulers and crushers

cloud hazel
#

and the regular revolver just lets you do that from further out

opaque crown
#

the new chainaxes vroom crushes i saw

#

especially if you have the bleed talent

finite nymph
#

But rarely is everyone on top of Gunnerx100

cloud hazel
#

people are wising up to maulers being Fucking Frightening

#

alongside ragers etc

finite nymph
#

i think they have a new rager-pack or something in this update

#

they have been up in droves

opaque crown
#

ragers are a lil easier to kill now

#

though i havent actualyl noticed

#

but they do have less hp

cloud hazel
#

they do yeah

#

its not really something ive noticed either

opaque crown
#

tbf to the change ive been running shield bleed ogryn

#

so everything dies at roughly the same rate

#

i just keep stacking more bleed

distant surge
#

my most recent build is pretty good at dealing with maulers vicksySip so i havent had a lot of trouble with em, but boi my lasgun doesnt like them

cloud hazel
#

mostly because I play weapons with really chunky ttk unaffected by a 200 hp change, or ones where I'm not counting bullets anyway like the columnus

limpid zinc
cloud hazel
#

you are not just capping you are the whole hat

limpid zinc
#

That was my "oh I'm darktide georg ig" moment

cloud hazel
#

gunners + netcode = agonies

limpid zinc
cloud hazel
#

with whose sprint

finite nymph
#

Gunners + that last point in the Carnival

cloud hazel
#

as I am promptly slid backwards 900 miles and melted instantly

marsh gyro
#

I think Zealot can get away with no hand cannon because of Charge armor penetration

cloud hazel
#

I don't even think suppression immunity gets you out of it

#

at least not that I've seen on vet

spiral badger
#

peopel underestimate the utility of just tying up gunners in melee

#

it makes them stop

limpid zinc
distant surge
#

vicksyRaid i go invisible and brrrr them in the back

limpid zinc
distant surge
#

but i could also stab em

cloud hazel
#

when they decide to drop guns and start shovelling is beyond me

limpid zinc
#

Oh shotgunners are nothing

cloud hazel
#

sometimes they'll react to me swinging and other times I just get ganglanded by a gatling gun

limpid zinc
#

They have like. Centuries between shots

#

Entire civilizations are born and die between shots

spiral badger
#

gunners never drop their guns

#

they just kick you and run off

#

only regular shooters will swap

limpid zinc
#

They'll stab you with the bayonet sometimes

finite nymph
#

Snipers will attempt their shot at such close ranges, gotta hand it to 'em

limpid zinc
#

But you can get a pack of gunners into stunlock p easy if you close distance

spiral badger
#

sniper you have to be practically on top of before they'll do the sniper kick

limpid zinc
cloud hazel
#

regular shooters I'm mostly okay with

#

having to run the zealot ferry with the magic I to get people across a full civil war reenactment I am much less so

#

part of why I basically always have frags on nowadays are for those exact situations

drowsy vine
#

And now all builds can actually get regenerating nades again, lol

cloud hazel
#

mashallah

finite nymph
#

It feels so core to the Veteran life, now

cloud hazel
#

always has been

opaque crown
#

i love playing shield gryn with the block taunt and making every enemy except gunner get so pissed off they come and melee me

#

regenning builds is life

limpid zinc
#

I miss consistently getting nade Regen on zealot from vets....

opaque crown
#

i know kraks are sick and kill big stuff

#

but shredder frags are so multi purpose

cloud hazel
#

the good old days of stun grenade regen

finite nymph
#

I can't get over the size of buffed frag

cloud hazel
#

shredders are absolutely goated

finite nymph
#

roomsavers

limpid zinc
#

A lot of puggies never throw zellynades and I can hardly blame them

#

Bcuz they feel so precious lol

cloud hazel
#

I can pretty consistently point to more aggressive blitz use as my main reason for winrate percentage improvement

#

fuck it. frag everything

limpid zinc
#

Popping blitz and ults as often as practicable yeah

cloud hazel
#

even random poxwalker hordes

limpid zinc
#

I have the inverse problem where my baseline is dauric cock and ball torture so playing on lower difficulties never hits my "oh I should throw this grenade" threshold lmao

#

"seven ragers? I'll just kill them"

cloud hazel
#

there are also unfortunately more weird krak noreg bugs again

#

so that's a small but important part of decisionmaking for the time being

opaque crown
#

smoke em if you got em

#

better to use one in a situation that doesn't really call for em than to never use em

cloud hazel
#

yeah basically

#

and nowadays with director being how it is

#

suddenly a situation can really fucking call for em

#

and it's better to be proactive about it than not

spiral badger
#

Yeah I have the same problem as rhiz, I can solve most situations with judicious whacking of heads

#

So the grenades only come out when shit is really not cash

opaque crown
#

i love me rocks dearly as an ogryn, but the ogryn frag has been like... very sexy of late

cloud hazel
#

stun grenades are basically the "everyone is dead" button

opaque crown
#

just "oh no, better use the eraser bomb"

#

if the ogryn frag were any bigger, it'd start deleting texture maps off of objects too

cloud hazel
#

ogryn talent that forces you to reinstall csgo every time one goes off

opaque crown
#

i have noticed a friend of mine, the zealot and I, will sometimes think the sme thing, they throw a flame nade and i throw a ogryn frag

#

and im just like "sry i just thought we needed the space"

cloud hazel
#

the braincell temporarily exits the warp

#

hm

#

you know what I should try

#

heavy laspistol exec stance

opaque crown
#

i wanna run heavy laspistol on scriers gaze psyker

#

though i also want to run quickdraw revolver on psyker

cloud hazel
#

brunt what the fuck man

opaque crown
#

oh you know

#

you don't need damage

#

on your heavy pistol

cloud hazel
#

morbidly curious

opaque crown
#

hands just shaking

#

its actually heavy

cloud hazel
#

so

#

this doesn't

#

actually matter at all

#

it turns out

cloud hazel
#

because the refire delay takes so long that it returns to center anyway

#

it just adds visual wobble

cyan depot
#

Hahaha

cloud hazel
#

it also helps that it seems to deal 1000 fucking damage on a headshot

#

so things will just die anyway

#

obviously still awful on crushers but shockingly effective against maulers

white portal
#

my flicking my shovel up and down in my adhd fueled inability to do anything but fiddle

#

crunch the brain

drowsy tusk
#

It’s such a good fidget tho

#

Plus the sound effects

opaque crown
#

i question the validity of changing the orientation of the shovel to get massive armor penetrating power, but i accept it despite this

#

because thats very warhammer energy

#

of being extra

limpid zinc
#

its not very warhammer at all, theres no skulls on it

cloud hazel
#

it's only the size of my head

#

and it doesn't have a jet engine

quiet escarp
#

There's a little steel skull at the top of the handle

sinful shadow
#

if there are not enough skulls on your shovel, the purpose of the special is to put one on there

#

however briefly

heavy geyser
#

the new eviscerator has weirdly made me love the old evisterator more, I'm just now appreciating its Combos now that there'a context of a more straightforward evis

drowsy tusk
#

Heavy->2 light-> shove attack is neat combo

#

For chaff clear

cyan depot
#

It works so well tho

drowsy tusk
#

I enjoy having a brain off stick but yea

cyan depot
#

Yeah its nice actually

#

Very easy to use while worrying about something else

spiral badger
#

i liked the executioner sword and i like the new evis

#

sometimes I just wanna hit light

heavy geyser
#

Combos I'm finding:

  • heavy > light > heavy > light as the base horde clear, standard, but!
  • light1 > heavy is two vertical shots combo for single target, so you can
  • heavy > light > (loop) > light light light > heavy to convert from horde clear into single target, which will flow from heavy > light sweep into one sweep, two light vertical headshots and then the heavy vertical
  • rev > light1 > heavy is the new evis heavy spam but a bit faster and you can flow from this into a loop into itself or
  • rev > light1 > heavy > light light light > heavy to lay on a fast string of overheads, on a single target it juices up Shred blessings from a standstill to feed crits
#

like the new evis is fun but I'm capital-u Understanding the old evis now and it rules

#

like these modules all flow into each other

spiral badger
#

yeah combo stuff like that is how you get Maximum Fun out of some of the weapons

#

the ogryn bonk sticks for example all have an optimal combo flow for crowds and a different one for single targets

heavy geyser
#

I got the new evis and was like oh this is cool, but what did one person mean by "simplifed?" and now I'm like, oooooooooh.

spiral badger
#

mk1 bully club is light-heavy-light for crowds, and Heavy-Light-light-Heavy for single targets

#

while mk3 is light light light for crowds and push attack light for single targets

Hmm

#

Sebastian Thor?

distant surge

vicksyAww sure..now how do we make a pun out of it?

#

Sebastian Bork? vicksyLUL

cyan depot

Seborkian Thor?

distant surge
#

beautiful

#

oh wait vicksyHmm i was going female for this one

#

dang it, that name's so good i'm considering changing it vicksyLUL

cyan depot
#

Haha

#

I’m having trouble with a good pun name for a prominent woman in the 40K church

#

Alicia Dominica comes to mind but is hard to pun

distant surge
#

true

cyan depot
#

Alicia Borkinica doesn’t ring as well

#

Saint Sabbork just sounds like an ork pun

distant surge
#

Saint Borkestine sounds hilarious to me vicksyLUL unsure if it's good tho

cyan depot
#

That’s pretty good

distant surge
#

vicksyAww alright Saint Borkestine it is

#

but dang Seborkian Thor is amazing vicksyLUL

You could also go with Sister of Borker

First thing I did on the new map was look down and go "If I was really here I would immediately steal these carpets"

#

because there's some CARPETS on the floor

#

CARPETS

Sure some of them have holes in them but CARPETS

#

I would steal a carpet and an ottoman from the new map

They compressed the bottom half of the trees to cut the amount of nodes you need to hit a Keystone by about 3 or 4

I thought it was still 17 to keystone

#

... I forgot. It was 21 before

#

17 for Psyker

#

newspapers self

cyan depot
#

Honestly the old maps are great looking too

#

The weakest map tileset is transit hub imo and it’s still great

#

One thing I really enjoy about Darktide maps is that they’re careful to use a lot of obscure old modeled terrain parts from 40K which gives it a very authentic feeling

drowsy vine
#

Huh

#

Really??

cyan depot
#

Yeah

#

Some of it is relatively obvious like the cargo containers

Both toughness on heavy talents + confident strikes on a shield mean that I can basically stand in the middle of a horde and take no damage at all

And I stunlock everything up to crushers, and even the new twins, with my heavies

I had a very bizarre bug yesterday: I had chosen a particular loadout, but my ranged weapon (a braced autogun) was swapped with a plasma gun. Everything else was the same

it did make me wonder if I was an idiot and took krak grenades with a plasma loadout lol

white portal
#

One of my greatest joys, and it really shouldn't be, but my greatest joy is just getting a stim and injecting it into my party members in quick match. Just "oh look a horde" and then I jam a combat stim into the zealot.

mint yew
#

I must admit I do that with every stim that isn't Med Stim, the objective best Stim

#

"don't need this, I will stab it into the passing Ogryn"

white portal

I do it with med stims sometime

but that's only if it can actually be used

"oh the zealot who keeps going down is looking a little peaky, going to stab them with the med stim"

i didn't know the Zealot voice i picked was the khornate one

i picked her cause she sounded scottish

so i was a tad surprised when i heard it

I picked the snooty lady Zealot because her delivery cracks me the hel up.

Across the board the voice acting has been on point.

Also really great to hear multiple accents.

i just like the idea of being scottish

i haven't found a specific trigger but it seems to swap your build but fail to swap your weapons

I'm seeing a slight error when I use plasma. Sometimes there's no muzzle flash or projectile but the enemy will go down like it hit.

yeah that's also definitely happening.

i ran plasma last night and i basically just looked at the kill feed lol

So fucking fun

#

I was listening to psychedelic bullet hell breakcore whilst doing an auric run with friends yesterday

#

It was fun

dawn totem
#

I think I've come up with a really potent Gun Psyker that balances Damage and Toughness regen with an emphasis on dodging. Feels like it hits the right spot of moving fast, hard hitting Crit laden Assail, with just enough Toughness as a screw up buffer.

And I want it.

#

What do you think are the better stims so far?

#

The med one is super useful.

onyx mantle
#

Med and ability cooldown.
dmg and speed are nice but not as valuable imo

opaque crown
#

I like the combat stim for my shield ogryn

#

Ability cooldown on my vet

cyan depot
#

meds and blue for me

#

The blue one is crazy good for psyker

white portal
#

I feel that the combat stim stops too quickly for the size of the hordes you get

cyan depot
#

Psyker’s Brain Burst and Psyker Staves. The speed of which the Psyker’s Smite propagates between enemies. Speed of which the Psyker can throw Shards using Assail. Speed of which the Psyker Quells their Peril.
lets fucking gooo

opaque crown
#

i like it on my ogryn because i change from a bleed shielder to a shield smasher briefly, letting me just slap rager hordes back down

cyan depot
#

red is also good for psyker (perils generation reduction)

mint yew
#

my god the new eviscerator is nuts

I think yellow is only good for psyker if you're crazy aggro and using venting shriek

Finally got to fight the quick twin, shes got crazy adhd. Her aggro had her bouncing between my ogryn and my zealot 5 times during the fight before she said "fuck this, bye haters" and kicked rocks.

I think her dash does damage?

white portal
#

I think so yeah. They're an interesting fight, a shame they disappear on you

We really try to zero them every time everyone dumps everything.

Oh I don't think either of them like krak nades. Especially not the brother.

# alpine needle Feels that way

You can lock the John Bloodbourne into doing kicks instead of shooting the plasma gun by staying close and circle strafing

cyan depot
limpid zinc
#

But Jane Darksouls just does rush downs and melee alphas like an evil zealot

cyan depot
#

Right at the start if you look to the left of the first bridge you can see gunfire and lasblasts being traded in the distance

#

It's easiest to see in blackout missions

opaque crown
#

oh? I should look harder next time

#

i just like the idea of feeling like other ops are happening at the same time if that makes sense

cyan depot
#

Yeah I get that

alpine needle
#

Rolling up in a chimera and hot dropping would also be so fun

alpine needle
#

I do want Jane's armor for my Zealot she's got the drip chefkisses

hushed glade
#

I think it'd be cool if we got a full-on military mission

#

Like

limpid zinc
#

They reused the lil breastplate for the zelly leathertwink chest

"You aren't just dealing with patrols this time, we're sending you onto the frontlines"

limpid zinc
#

Also I'm ngl I have no idea which twin is which gender actually

alpine needle
#

Me either

cyan depot
#

I think its sword girl and plasma pistol boy

#

Based on grunts anyway

alpine needle
#

That was my thought

opaque crown
limpid zinc
#

Yeah that lines up with Jane Darksouls and John Bloodbourne then

#

Perhaps they are.... nurgleb-

alpine needle
#

More like nerdborne Woe Rocks be upon ye heretics!

#

throws a green bomb which does like a whole wound of corruption and stays forever

It's ok I pray incredibly hard

#

I had an extremely funny run where the party zealot stepped on one by mistake after he died and just casualtied out

alpine needle
#

alt f4s

limpid zinc
cyan depot
#

they should remove that

limpid zinc
#

It do be inconvenient when their permanent fartbomb puts you in a corner tho

cyan depot
#

Though I think what usually happens is people back up onto them by mistake while fighting

alpine needle
#

Yes sadcowboy

cyan depot
#

This was just your average most situationally aware zealot who was apparently lootlusted and not looking at the ground

alpine needle
#

Easier to position as my Vet, I imagine Psyker has an easier time too

limpid zinc
#

Apparently we only got the twinvasions for the next week or so so ig it'll solve itself soon

cyan depot
#

I'm curious if they're going all the way away or just becoming rarer

limpid zinc
#

I assume they're gonna release the mission to fight them both around then

cyan depot
limpid zinc
#

I kinda like the invasions tho I wish they'd stay

alpine needle
#

Would be nice if they were a speed bump in higher difficulties. "Trying to sub 12 minutes on Heresy? Have a twin!"

#

Or if the party is stocked up, with good health pools

limpid zinc
#

I know some ppl hate having them based on the forums and it's forumsalt that got lights out relegated to auric only 😔

alpine needle
#

Oh sadcowboy

opaque crown
#

things get real spicy

marsh gyro
#

Lights Out can stay on Auric until they give Ogryns floodlights

opaque crown
#

when the poison nades are on the ground

#

and the scab bomber is out there

opaque crown
#

and a flamer is walking up from another angle

cyan depot
#

That's lame

limpid zinc
limpid zinc
opaque crown
#

i also think that lights out not being a thing is lame

alpine needle
#

Thats so dumb what a bunch of bozos, i would have really liked practicing blackouts BEFORE getting to Auric

opaque crown
#

personally

#

like being auric only

limpid zinc
#

I wish lights out was more common/rolled on nonaurics cause it's cool as hell

opaque crown
#

i mean we still get vent purge relatively common right?

limpid zinc
#

I've seen it on a nonaurics meal once

opaque crown
#

and hunting grounds out the ass

limpid zinc
#

Vent purge isn't as cool

opaque crown
#

oh i agree, im just saying we get that stuff

#

we can have normal lights out

alpine needle
#

Blackout feels like why they earn the right to say "horror elements"

cyan depot
#

Blackout is my favorite of the map changes

alpine needle
#

Actually so spooky the first few times.

cyan depot
#

Vent Purge causes weird frame drops for me sometimes and hounds is just not as fun

#

I'd be curious to see the datamined ones like poison and cinders

alpine needle
#

Or a sniper nest that you can't gauge the distance of

#

Cinders and smoke would be rad! In the foundry level!

opaque crown
#

i still maintain that lights out is the true darktide experience

alpine needle
#

Seconded

#

It's what I was looking for when I first picked up the game

distant surge
#

on what level should i be ready for heresy missions?

marsh gyro
#

10's good enough for malice comfortably, and I'd say 20-25 can do Heresy if you know what you're doing on high intensity Malice

hushed glade
#

I think doing it before 30 is dicey but if you have a capstone you should be good

distant surge
#

went to malice on lvl 8

#

hopefully i can handle it on lvl 20

alpine needle
#

I believe

#

If you got Malice locked down you're ready for Heresy

cyan depot
#

I don't know shit about how it is now but I used to feel ok on Heresy between 15 and 20

alpine needle
#

Thats were I'm at and we carried a buddy last night who is bran new level 3 and he lived!

#

Tbf tho, Ogryn

distant surge
#

Ogryn stronge

if you got good groups, you can knock down your level expectations down, but they should be willingly carrying you lol

distant surge

cyan depot
heavy geyser
#

my "corruption aura out of necessity" build has been paying dividends lately

spiral badger
#

the bombs do corruption yeah

#

you can get insta-ganked by them if you foolishly stand in them for too long

native roost
#

Getting trapped in em must be devestating

soft summit
#

Can you even kill a twin?

#

Or do they always teleport away just in time

drowsy tusk
#

afaaik they telepor all tie

cyan depot
#

I thought I did the first time but it was a chaotic as hell situation and they probably teleported away at very low HP

#

(got jumped in a confined space and a daemonhost showed up from seemingly nowhere)

native roost
#

We are just play testing them before they drop in the new patch as a dual boss or something

#

Genius implementation

cyan depot
#

It shows too since neither of them really present a balanced threat profile

soft summit
#

Yeah it's good build up for that as well

cyan depot
#

The gun one just kind of stands there and denies area and does damage when you stop paying attention

During an "event"

Yoooo Gief in Darktide!?

alpine needle
#

That stoppin power hurts my souls

#

What a Gem of an Evis tho!

cloud hazel
#

makes up for the other one

white portal
#

the combat shotgun with that little stopping power should be called "the beckoner"

alpine needle

I wish they would balance it out, if it was just the BFBC2 shotguns running slugs. Sniper shotty, hits like a truck, blows through anything.

limpid zinc
cyan depot
#

Ok so all the darktide operatives map pretty well to ashes of faith inquisitorial operatives

#

Like really well

#

Except them

#

5th class incoming qed

opaque crown
#

Servitor class gets heavy weapons but you have to look around and aim using the arrow keys

#

And can only move in straight lines

spiral badger
#

i don't think we'd get those for the sole reason that half the fun is having unique fun voice stuff

#

and like, you can have a couple of funny servitor voices but the fun would wear off quick

marsh gyro
opaque crown
#

Today we're playing with a team made up of: seasoned veteran, sanctioned psyker, pious zealot, and semi living copy printer

cyan depot
#

Hey, Autosavants are real smart

#

Just augmented

#

You'd probably have to be some kind of messed up cyborg more than a normal servitor to keep up on missions

#

Though 40k games have a lot of precedent for messed up super cyborg

onyx mantle
#

Tech adept or Skitari would work well as a class

opaque crown
#

I wonder if they could make a hired gun distinct enough as a class

#

I suppose a cyborg hound would be the defining gimmick

cyan depot
#

There's a lot of shit the Hired Gun does in that game

cyan depot
#

Aimbots, slow motion, etc

#

The Hired Gun is lowkey a like pocket space marine with all the archeotech they wind up stuffed to the gills with

heavy geyser
#

i was thinking about the 5th servitor class when looking at the floor scrubbers and how they are a lot more player model like than the other servitors on the mourningstat

#

just hidden in plain sight

spiral badger
#

know who could technically join and would generally fit

#

a Sister Repentia

#

the issue is that niche wise she'd just be an even more stringent zealot

alpine needle
#

Hexorcist nani

#

Very interesting Horus_ha

#

Ya I still think a class with a core mechanic of changing your augments in your dope as fuck robot hand.

cyan depot
#

I could see someone with augments working pretty well with some sort of fluff

alpine needle
#

And one tree could totally have a buddy/minion. Servo skull that scans rooms, restarts interrogators for you, if you look long enough at an area it could ping specials over there for you. Especially if they're behind half cover and you'd ping "go there" like 8 times trying to get a punk sniper.

cyan depot
#

I do think mechanically the missing archetype is a minionmancer of some type

alpine needle
#

I agree with this. Even if it's relegated to a single tree like shield ogy kinda is.

blissful sparrow
#

tbh i just wanna see more cool stuff

opaque crown
#

debuffer might be another missing archetype, but i think its a generally less interesting one for most of the player body

alpine needle
#

Hell ya

heavy geyser
#

darktide rules

blissful sparrow
#

debuffer would be neat, yeah

cyan depot
#

trauma staff with the good blessing, smite, etc

blissful sparrow
#

grenades that dont kill but debuff in 3 different ways, etc

opaque crown
#

trauma staff is more cc imo

#

and damage

alpine needle
#

4th trees? Could be more likely than an extra class

cyan depot
#

It puts out a TON of brittleness with the right blessing

opaque crown
#

im thinking like slowing, reducing armor, reducing accuracy, making enemies suppress less, etc

#

funny ult that would actually be good "make enemies in a radius stand up out of cover"

alpine needle
#

Zealot should be able to build those from my experience

#

The fact the holy fire nade doesn't slow does hurt me

blissful sparrow
#

if they add 4th trees psyker wont get theirs till the next game drops

#

poor sienna mains

alpine needle
#

Clarity (immunity to suppression)

#

That would be a nice aura sadcowboy

#

Maybe too nice

opaque crown
#

immunity i think would maybe be too strong

#

as a passive ability

#

in an aura

alpine needle
#

If it had a trigger, or as a blessing on a high capacity weapon

#

Sustained fire on a stubber grants clarity

distant surge
#

are the scabs and dregs 2 different factions that came together under nurgle?

alpine needle
#

Ye

#

Scabs are traitor guard, dregs are goobers

distant surge
#

is there any difference between the 2 flamers? or just color?

#

i thought the dregs were a gang vicksyAww

opaque crown
#

i was curious about that too, though one has different armor

spiral badger

green flamegirls do corruption damage

distant surge
lusty kelp

It’s harder to be the not standard fire. You see, it’s not easy being green.

#

Nvm I don't have another one SXFYorShrug_Biko

#

I wanna fight a rogue Eversor

#

They sent one in after Wolfer and it's just be fucking up a Hab and it's way off target. The self destruct was damaged on entry or something. And the rejects have to put it down before it goes nuclear.

hushed glade
#

Doesn't even need to be Rogue

opaque crown
#

yeah that might be a normal eversor, the only trip up is that it hadn't gotten its mark before rampaging

alpine needle
#

I feel like it makes sense they'd try to send us in as clean up detail for an oopsy. The rejects probably wouldn't even know what they're looking at when they find it.

#

Idk. Would feel like a neat nod at the assassinorum.

soft summit
cyan depot
#

I also like it

#

But the Hired Gun is not normal haha

soft summit
#

Yeah

alpine needle
#

Ya wait I thought it was OK at worst?

soft summit

I dunno what the general opinion on it was

#

Mine is "janky but fun"

alpine needle
#

I should finish it

#

I stopped to pick up monster hunter rise

distant surge
#

.w. i thought eversors attacked u regardless of mark, as long as u got too close

alpine needle
#

Ya there is no friend or foe.

#

But they do take direction, the same way a cruise missile does I guess

cyan depot
#

They have some ability to tell, they'd deployed in assassin strike teams or (rarely) in groups

alpine needle
#

Right, but once they get going...

#

The assassinorum is cool, they got cool units.

#

I like the meme of the Callidus assassin that is deep undercover in a Ork Wah. And she's just super into it. Just one of dah boyz

drowsy vine

Yup, we totally aren't getting a surprise map drop after the LTE ends

distant surge
#

btw

#

does traxxis stand for traitor?

cyan depot
#

I don't think so

#

I think its just this but anglicized

drowsy vine
cyan depot
#

Waiting for more info

plush basalt
#

is surge still affected by empowered psionics?

#

(I was trying to look up build info, only found people whining about how OP that combo is)

cyan depot
#

did you mean the infinite surge bug or the surge staff bug?

drowsy vine
cyan depot
#

Which theory?

#

A third map?

#

I agree, but I've heard a lot of weird Zola theories lately and forget where they're from haha

plush basalt
#

surge staff getting +dmg as if it were smite

cyan depot
#

That is fixed

plush basalt
#

infinite smite is gone

#

ah, good

#

I'm still not quite sure about the surge staff's niche. It's quite unreliable in single-target, and doesn't do hordes well... Still, I enjoy it comboed with smite.

tough compass
#

Oh, apparently I only remember the trapper call out

cyan depot
drowsy vine
#

Calling it now, the journal entries set the stage for the map

#

Zola leads a strike team to take out the twins and either gets captured or stranded in enemy territory

#

And we need to bail her out, kill the twins in the process

heavy geyser
#

Zola being captured would make the vox calls on the mourningstar and on other missions a bit weird

#

unless they just disable a bunch of interactions

drowsy vine
#

I can see that being done for a limited time thing

#

Then the map is just part of the rotation

#

She could also just come back badly wounded or something

#

Give her a cybernetic eye in her portrait

tough compass
#

I don’t have the precise figures to hand tonight, but they have, between them, killed more of our poor rejects in the last two weeks than any other positively identified traitors.
Honestly, it's probably still horde units

cyan depot
#

tbf those probably aren't positively identified

heavy geyser
#

Is that about the twins?

drowsy vine
#

I think that's just story flourish tbh

#

Not an actual mechanical statement the twins are killing a lot of teams

drowsy vine
drowsy vine
tough compass

I just find it funny because I don't find them (on their own anyways) to be that dangerous

#

I was confused how they were killing a lot of people and didn't pick up on "two weeks"

distant surge
#

i can handle myself in heresy at lvl 14 mostly

#

if i get friends i can probably play em without any issues vicksyHappy

alpine needle
# drowsy vine What do folks make of this, btw

3 phase boss fight Twins, Twins and Wolfer once the twins die just Wolfer who bails at low health or "dies" but small cut scene plays showing him twitch and begins to daemonize. That's my guess.

drowsy vine
#

I can't see Wolfer being involved personally

#

He's being set up for later

alpine needle
#

So then maybe a O&S style fight when one of the twins drops the other becomes way more hellish?

drowsy vine
#

That seems more likely yeah

alpine needle
#

Sounds fun

#

I agree it would come with a new secret third map. They're having too much fun with the street level stuff

cloud hazel

High intensity malice. Pack of hounds, the maniacs with all the saws, two shield ogryns, and a plague ogryn.

And the associated scabs or dregs or whatever the horde is called

#

On malice

#

Whaaaaaaaat

New Weapon Takes:

  • Chainaxe: Hilarious that the Light Attack Flak modifier is so high, might be better than the old one? Definitely better single target
  • Chainsword: Weird lil guy, haven't used it but the attack patterns are very odd
  • Ogryn Shovels: Might be new meta, Ogryn getting a true anti-armour melee weapon is huge (can one-shot Crushers with the correct setup)
  • Veteran Shovels: I respect anyone who uses these, and the anti-armour capability is great, but the range is so rough
  • Eviscerator: It's literally the VT2 Executioner Sword and that fucks actually
  • Revolver: I'm not sure it's better than the old Revolver in any particular aspect but it's really fun to use and I'm here for it
mint yew
#

My take on the chainaxe is that the equivalent Eviscerator is just better, but the attack patterns are good

drowsy vine
#

I mean Vet can take it too

mint yew
#

Might have a place there then, as something that can chunk armour for an autogun build

drowsy vine
#

Yeah I think it's got a distinct place on a Weapon Specialist build

#

That actually all sounds really cool!

#

Good for variety, if nothing else.

Love the Chainaxe

#

The new one at least

#

On Zealot

#

The new assault chain axe is kind of great to have as a vet, to be able to easily melee crushers

#

Without krak

#

Costs you a lot of crowd management though

hushed glade
#

If you aren't taking kraks you could just have your crowd management be an infinite supply of frag grenades

soft summit
#

You can also oneshot a Crusher with a Chainaxe Zealot

#

Just gotta rev it up

distant surge
#

i like the big chainsword while playing zealot

#

everything dies

opaque crown
#

you can actually one shot a crusher with vet chainaxe, even without right side tree

#

just need the bleed stacks blessing

#

and possibly anti carapace

#

its a dirty one shjot

marsh gyro
#

Thunderous (brittleness on hit) and Thrust (big heavies) is what I use as general purpose on the new chainaxe

stable whale
#

Trying to evaluate which of these new chainswords is better on base stats for upgrading, anyone have any suggestions? I'm leaning towards the blue one but maxed cleave is giving me pause

mint yew
#

If you get one big cleave blessing, either will have more than enough cleave for most purposes

#

I would go with left

#

Pen 50% I don't like the look of

stable whale
#

I might be entirely wrong, but I feel like if I NEED something armoured to die I just hit the rev button. Pen seems like the least bad dump stat here

distant surge
#

gals knight

stable whale
#

Ended up doing up the blue one, seems decent

#

I don't know if it hits any breakpoints, this swings pretty hard already, but I'm not saying no to more poxwalker damage. Blessings are probably gonna have to go but I need to find good ones

plush basalt
#

Has this been posted already?

#

it's still unlisted, but it's in my launcher

#

I don't remember who called it as a third mission, but I expect the same

# stable whale

This is a real solid base, for 300 plasteel more you can replace the Stamina with Flak damage or weak spot damage and can put any rank 4 blessing over the rank 2 and it'll carry you a long time

soft summit
#

I mean it feels all but confirmed we're getting a Ranick Twin dual boss fight soon

#

The "event" is equal parts setup and playtest

That's a really really good shovel

distant surge
#

that's storm bolter?

opaque crown
#

2 bolters strapped together

#

well not really but practically thats what it is

distant surge
foggy latch
#

no thats a heavy bolter

distant surge
#

catachan folks can catry astartes bolters can't they?

#

or at least it happened before?

opaque crown
#

oh i thought you said "whats a storm bolter" lol not "thats a storm bolter" my b

#

yeah thats just a heavy bolter

distant surge
#

cool cool

opaque crown
#

and catachans do just be built different often times

foggy latch
#

a storm bolter is

distant surge
#

vicksyBork ya need to be built different to survive catachan

distant surge
#

looks silly vicksyLUL

opaque crown
#

i do also think that that model is Sgt Harker, who is a named character

#

and so may represent exceptional capability

#

rather than what might be considered normal for a catachan guardsman

distant surge
#

i see vicksyAww

#

would be cool if the ogryn could have one of those

opaque crown
#

ogryn can absolutely carry one, but apparently its either too complex of a weapon or too valuable of a weapon to hand them to ogryns militarily

#

i think ogryns working for wealthy benefactors independently may have access if they wanted

#

or if provided

distant surge
#

good thing our rejects fit the bill

opaque crown
#

yup!

#

or at least, i hope so in the future

#

I also want an autocannon

distant surge
#

there's a lot of potential for cool ogryn weapons

hushed glade
#

We already saw the Third mission in the Carnival

#

And this vox thing confirms it I think

#

It's going to be you thrown into a gladiator arena with the Karnnak Twins

opaque crown
#

or guided into ones, they're been fragging with our comms

#

so it makes sense that we might fight our way into a trap arena

plush basalt
#

ohh, so that new shovel does lose a bit of the crowd control with heavies. Hm, gonna have to adapt. It's so fun to instakill heavies with it tho

opaque crown
#

its a great all purpose tool

#

which is a vote in its favor tbh

marsh gyro
#

Goes good with a Kickback

opaque crown
#

shovel returns to being a jack of trades pick

#

I do think ogryn shovel is a game changer

#

in terms of giving ogryn a dedicated crusher smasher

#

to let them know who is really the biggest boy
