but then I have to play zealot
my first game trying this new VII strat I devised I did very decently. Had to eat all the ammo packs but the other two were pyskers and Ogryns running kickback/rumble so they didn't really need all that much to begin with
and also
Zealot is mad fun this patch, really S tier without being busted
try it on gun Psyker with the same blessings
they both do crit better than vet does
Sad, but true
all classes are pretty fun but vet is in a weird spot
Vet should be equally good at crits
i liked the vet better last patch
all 3 are still outshot by Ogryn 
he has the least defined role out of all the classes
our best crit related nodes only work on very specific weapons
Deadshot is exclusive to low firerate guns, and Focus is only workable on high firerate guns with already bad crit characteristics
Oggy is OP as fuck since the class rework an a lot of people are sleeping on him
look at this handsome ugly bastard, I can't NOT play him
Looks like that one piece character with a windmield on his hat or smth
Marksman focus really needs to have its stackloss condition changed to not headshotting as opposed to moving
that'll fix it entirely
Yeah that makes a lot more sense
Yeah. The amount of damage you can dish out is unmatched by anything.
just change one of the nodes to “you no longer lose stacks upon moving” and that’s plenty good
when we get the pearl clutching cosmetics and zealot gets the veteran chestplate with sniper hood, THEN I migrate classes
It would have to be non-headshot kill or you'd drop stacks hella fast on accident
Also
But yeah, it'd be a good change
It's just that the class is clunky to play
Focus target is jank as fuck because of the way stack refreshing works, fix that and buff the effect to compensate and it'll be a very decent keystone
So I don't bother
Weapons Specialist literally doesn't work- fix it so that it works a written and bam its good
I mean, they both works as intended ?
Literally copypasted code to my knowledge
Big boi, with big damage. I can't hate Oggy for being OP, he's both an Ogg an c'mon, you couldnt be mad with the big man could ya?
Tag is good
Weapon spec absolutely doesn't work as written lol
Once we understood shit 
Does the crit only apply on the first shot?
Or was the 33% a typo?
Not sure if a consensus was reached on that yet.
First is guaranteed
From my tests it was first shot
I was able to get non-crits on first shot if I didn't get enough melee kills (I think)
And someone was sleepikg on the job and didnt change the code
Either way, reaaaaally nice for revolvers, shotguns, etc... and kinda pointless for automatic guns
stupidly good with Revolvers with the reload, really
Shotguns are more finnicky since you have to manually load special ammo
If i ever feel sad i remember that this node exist
imagine reaching that node
imagine taking that node
Imagine reaching the node and taking it

all the way down and oh so useless
Melee keystone works better with single shot
marksman keystone works better with full auto

If i had the points i might actually take that one 😅 I love Shovel push attacks too much
Fatshark gentlemen
honestly though lol
So the ammo you get back is rounded up so will revolver reload a shot (20% of its clip) if you swap after a single melee kill?
how many push can you make in 3s ?
marksman can hit much higher numbers but guaranteed crit after melee boops is just so much easier
Yes, you get 1 ammo back minimum
so revolver will always reload 1 ammo even with one kill
Its more that i'd be able to dome a Rager an still block attacks from his mates
It's kinda silly tbh
And it has a crit
Weapons spec needs to be rewritten entirely. Makes its effects actually last the stated durations and reduce the crit bonus for Ranged spec to like 3% per stack so its 30% at full so that it isn't ridiculous giving 10s of guaranteed crit
You can slap a poxwalker
One shot a crusher
Repeat
True, it's not a bad idea- they just need to make it so that the melee stacks are relevant and that the nodes it has after are relevant
Works for way too few guns as of now
They just need to make the description more accurate and maybe consolidate the extra nodes for it
power grants cleave yes
ATM the only relevant mechanic is the guaranteed crit on the ranged and the toughness/ammo regen nodes
It does yes mate, Cleave, Damage an Stagger
The keystone itself is solid imo
attack speed for 1 attack does literally nothing
so only the buggy guaranteed crit on the first ranged bullet is actually having any effect whatsoever
Its noticable on Shovel
So the melee components attack speed buff does stick around for 5 seconds even when the buff vanishes?
Catachan Sword an Shovel both
I wonder if that applies to the Ranged buff as well?
Still only rhe first shot being a crit is silly
Does the 33% crit on the ranged buff also still apply?
no
Nah
God who the fuck Wrote this keystone
it must have been an intern high on shrooms in a latenight bender
increased rof is funny though
Someone who programmed shit
with literally noone double-checking him
no ammo aura, no toughness regen talents, and i think revo does better with the right side keystone because it functions as a very nice secondary
programmers weren't on the same page as the designers 😂
You can use Crucian Roulette + Point Blank on a revolver an it compensates for the drop after the first shot, obviously PB is always active because you're swapping constantly an Crucian picks up a bit of the slack after that, throw Deadshot in there too, an you're ballin
was gonna say
smh my head these pugs, sometimes I think they ignore elites and specials on purpose
like a student using excessive words to hit the page requirement uwU
TIL though
What perks do I put on a plasma gun, unyielding and maniac or flak?
Base damage and damage boosts are the same? It's not like base vs final damage?
correct
Fatshark's dev team probably has no overhead whatsoever
imo I use Maniac + flak. But that's because I go for body shots so flak is very helpful
headshots on gunners and ragers though
fuck ragers its like a 50/50 if it kills instantly
secretly its because the editor and the writor are perfectly synced so one is on vacation when the other is working
truly the Euro experience
Feels like they working like Valve but somehow worse
Everyone kinda doing their thing
I am kinda exagerating, but bug fixes and hotfixes are so random
Cause apparently, if I soloq this is the kinda bozo's I get
2 minutes and 17 seconds UwU
No, but it sure felt like it
6m
So, effectively.
lol
Second area.
I'm actually surprised it was that long
its funny because the 2nd and 3rd player appear to have decent builds
@nimble sentinel Rate my MKIV
Why sentence yourself to that?
That's cause I was killing everything that got in the way :T
Need more Ogryns in the game
I'd have instantly left the lobby.
nice Helbore
God forbid, fuck no
I'd rather have a psyker
Kek, MKIV Las 
4 Ogryns is big funny
ikn a minute I'm babysitting the god emperor's dumbest asses
when it's 4 ogryns, it's alright
LOL I couldn't even tell
Need a tank beating the hordes, while others pick everything off
But I just dislike Ogryns so much recently. All they do is get in the way of bullets, eat all the ammo, and do nothing useful
😄 Love the weap' customization mod tho
Weapon Customization mod is truly the Omnissiah's will
They absolutely get in the way
Somehow I feel attacked
Have a psyker stunning the hordes from the back and putting down useful bubbles, rather than getting in the way and preventing people from shooting shit

Why not both
Oh very nice
we Star Wars now
Veteran Wellfare Check.
How are you guys holding up?
You can't do that when their fat fucking ass blocks the whole fucking corridor, or literal door

If they're in a corridor, watch thier back, trust me, they have the front handled 
Reposition 20 feet ahead
I'm rich as fuck ;)
Ignoring keystones as intended.
I'm just saying Ogryn definitely have their uses
'Ate zealots
Get in the way of bullets
'Ate Ogrnns
Get in the way of bullets
'Ate Psykers
Steal all the spec kills
'Ate other vets
Steals all the ammo
🥹
Simple as.
😌
If I had the option, I'd play solo just like I did vermintide

Nothing more reliable than bots
There are mods for that
You dont earn nothin doing it tho
Use your own characters too
Its like a training sim
Why the fuck would I waste my time with that
Ok well just wanted to make sure you guys were doing ok. Check for the smell of decomposition you know...
Anyway. #Thoughts + #Prayers
If I can't earn materials to craft more weapons
Well thems yer options
to be honest, I actually feel my Vet got stronger in Patch 15
Plasma + Psword Vet UwU
I'll just keep yelling at the people at FS until they actually implement solo properly

Personally i think its good to see how hard you can push yourself every now an then, bots are dogshit in this game
Because they're lifted straight from VT2
3 Psyker Bots to spam Smite without peril exploding
VT bots have the single benefit of being able to bet equipped with whatever loadout and gear you toss their way
So you can make them at least somewhat more reliable than these
You think they'd have the brains to use smite? You're giving them too much credit 
I can dream UwU
Hey vet chat, these actually worth using at all?
With the removal of superiority complex and nerf to confirmed kill, meh, it got weaker
Yes
Yeah
not for me
Yes.
Replace reload with mani and no respite with HH
100%
I got stronger
I wish for death
What's stronger then?
Ping keystone is craked
That one seems ok should I grabs it?
yer krak'd
(it does 1dmg cause it landed in the wrong spot, and FS can't code apparently)

didn't patch 15 fix that?
Wait what?

With ping keystone you had to have sacrificed either grenades or some of the melee tree
I think they did, I haven't had that issue since
also in the time it takes to stack ping couldn't you have just shot twice
literally lost nothing then because melee tree isn't necessary for psword
dabs
Was gonna say, me an the boys evaporated a Traitor Captain with it the other day 
Is there any point to using this on anything other than ragers
What weapon?
Necessary for crusher two tap and bruiser one shot without brutal momentum
its funny
Rashad combat axe
No
Maulers can be staggered with normal attacking
Thats uhh.. thats about it
imagine needing a 2-hit kill to kill crushers
I have P Cycler 4
From my brief-ish testing with creature spawner, the only thing that special attack staggers that normal attacks don't is ragers lol
honestly it just sounds like you just want to be weak
my Vet is fine and slapping just as well if not better than it used to lmao
I'm assuming for psword mk6 mobility is the dump stat
wats that have to do with a crusher two tap?
You'll mostly be blocking with it, not dodging, yes
don't care about 2-hit
because I have a 3 hit charge
What about one hit
you dont need melee tree for crusher two tap

2 shot breakpoint is a lot better than 3
sorry I have a good sword that can work around that
You can hit the 4th crusher with it
carapace perk is enough, maybe you need precision strikes from left tree though i dont remember
Like, I had hope guys
I really did
But then all of us got trappered one by one, behind a wall of bulwarks
By a silent trapper

😐
I don't try to engage bulwark/crusher walls in melee cause of that
Like in theory it's safe but you can't see shit behind them
GRENADES BRO
We weren't engaging them. They turned a corner right into us as we went down the stairs on the disruption mission.
So + flamers or trappers or whatever hiding behind and suddenly is sadge
skill issue ig
I heard kill confirmed is bug we take more dmg is it true ?
yes
Wrong skill
no
No
has been for like 3 patchs? or is the skill name wrong?
exerlerating rarkendwon
oh okkk ty
Exhilarating Takedown.
You having a skill issue with your keyboard there? Or just using your fingers? :p
it was rhe voice typing not my fautl
Khorne has taken hold of them
exactly
You know after playing with the new tree
The only thing I'm still sad about is ck
I miss 25 upfront
I miss being able to spend points on luxury nodes, like field improve and grenade tinkerer
im missing superioirty complex on the middle tree
Pay. The. Tax.
i miss grenade tinkerer stun immunity the most lol
I'm getting similar dmg with the right build prepatch so I'm ok with the DMG nodes moving around
seriously stun is such an unfun mechanic
I miss tink too but that was a bug so I'm not counting it
That's cause you're sacrificing other stuff to get back the damage
Not really, I have all my nade perks still
Is flachette even possible to get on shotgun right now?? I have spent like 40k plasteel and havent seen it once
I did lose melee attack speed but I gained precision strikes
Which I consider an ok tradeoff for my knife
I just wish ck wasn't nerfed so hard 😔
Yes
Could have just removed the stacking and dialed it down to like 20 upfront or something
I did get it recently can't remember if before or after patch tho
is that the tier 2 only blessing?
No
w a t
oh right
I swear they must have fucked up, I am legit getting nothing but the same blessings over and over
🎰
The power of rng and gambling
Check Brunt too, he occasionally gets a three in but even a two might help for now
What's an optimal Plasma gun nowadays
Never in my hundreds of hours have I ever had to spend 40k plasteel to get a single blessing
ayo you got a build for this? I have a Ia ready to go in the interim
to be fair, what is this whole plasteel diamantine imbalance
I'm not saying it's not bugged but some ppl have played a year without getting recycler
Pcycler*
It's possible if you're an outlier lol
smoll bolter
The second power sword I consecrated I got cycler 4

Smolter
Is the bolt pistol in game? Or is that modded in?
I weep
The moment they add a Bolt Pistol
🥹
I am terribly out of the loop on stuff these days
I work too much
I miss being a kid

I miss LAN parties

Yer, what Ult you wanna use?
This is with Relic, Crusher for primary
You could swap out Scourge an the one before it, an path over to EWEW should you so desire
ballin
Get that zealot chat away from here
imma keep it real with you I haven't gone off of veteran in literal months I have no idea what these words correlate to

75k plasteel down the drain with 0 result other than max depression 🔥
Is Exhilarating takedown still fucked?
I just spent 200k
Well worse case I can fish for blessings
yep
It's been re-classified from 'merchant' grade to 'laborer'.
Credit to
https://www.youtube.com/@therealdannyg
For his iconic and relatable Birmingham rant.
Yeah well it was 75k spent on a blessing I didnt even realize was tier 2 💀
so now I have like 100 useless shotguns and hadrons annoying ass voice stuck in my head
yall must have nutty hours for that much plasteel
Wish I had that
been trying to roll for slaughterer 4 for decades
then this recent nerf kinda made me madge
malding still about it
Does anyone have any tips on completing on overwatch penance?
Which one is that
its mostly because Vet has the widest range of gear
like my Psyker friend has roughly 130k plasteel
Is that the no melee damage one?
You have friends that play the game right?
and he has similar hours to me
This is important to know
No melee damage on malice or higher

I feel like the class just took a massive versatility hit though
Shout and play safe
Do you have a group
if you have all the gear you want and just play the game you get plasteel out the ass
It's only malice so it shouldnt be bad
if you’re going for blessings or god rolls, hello poverty
my friend literally only uses Purg staff and Deimos
I do Have people
Jump off the map, die, never get rescued
Then get rescued before the end
Will count
so after he got them, he's just been saving
My buddy did it last week
I honestly didn't think about that
The penance is the most bullshit in the game and I will beat it in a bullshit way
spawn director holding back the rager spawns until they revive the player
after the 2nd attempt
boom 50 ragers UwU
Best way is to cheese broken mechanics
I did it legit because Purg psyker + MK12 Counterfire Vet was op back in the day

now you have to suffer UwU
Vet still kinda too rigid in terms of tree
so I'm vibing
but it's functional
The previous one was better imo for my playstyle
sure here's my plasma build
that's the whole thing
voice of command is cool, but I like just, deleting specials.
this is a good build
saving btw
I use the weakpoint talent to one shot kill gunners
ive seen some shitty takes on mid tree, but this one is most definitely a sound build
but honestly I'm on the fence about it
I lovw playing support veteran pretty similar to mine
Is the nerf to bring it down bc of the middle keystone?
if you want to try a more support + defenses focused build
i mean that's my best guess
I find 8 stacks isnt as impactful
people say they have issues hitting weakpoints
compared to free toughness damage
oh wow i didnt see Aura Range
I do not
I wish executioners had something for toughness
@formal lake good eye
idk the problem, aim at the general area of the head and blast
yeah shift that aura range over to the toughness node lol
the emperor will sort out the rest
Charisma only affects your own aura tho?
but stamina & toughness regen..
you have to be braindead to not see the value in charmastic + Ping keystone + Voice of Command lol
I find shout more useful to make that shot on the sniper in a hoard
charisma is only your own aura and it's range dependent
you're shitting me
Surrounded? Shout then shoot the dniper
survivalist is your aura yes?
Fatshark pls
*fartshart
they get it.
If I'm using plamsa I just cleave straight through the horde to hit the sniper most of the time
why is aura and coherency different stats
because it doesnt have strictly coherency
thanks for informing :c
"how do we make this talent bad" -Fatshark making Charismatic
Better to save the point or spend it on Confirmed kill
Been considering going down the dark path of Ogryn for the shooty builds
u mean psyker pls
I saw this Ogryn use a stubber to
gun lugger is fun
FIRE SUPPORY AYE
honestly the only bad shooter build is psyker because its such a fucking pain getting the blessings
it was on auric too
You share blessings between classes tho
guess what gun I don't have any blessings for Uwu
So if you have the same gun on psyker, just build it, ez
Laspistol and Columbus :D
Damn
mfers were always on the ground thinkin
Boy do I
I just spent all my plasteel trying to make a perfect mk6, cause my latest build needs crusher damage in my melee slot
to be fair, Vets spent almost a full year with a +75% damage crutch with wall hacks
Oh since yer here Az. Is crusher 1shot still possible on the MK6?

With the push attack
I can already do the 2 shot very easily
But it feels like a 1shot should be possible
1-shot should be possible as dmg got buffed
only toughness in general got hit
ah rip
Hmmmm
probably possible with some Slaughterer stacks or something
Yeah nah, with Slaughterer I'm like errrr
though that's a bit conditional
60ish damage off of 1h
My push attacks rn without Brutal and without damage to elites is at 2.2k. So I just need another 1.2k
Ez right
Yeah nah, I still want PC for the horde clear
Fatshark: "2501 aquillas for a 3rd blessing slot UwU"
oh lord yes
Blaze away 3 or gets hot 4 for plas?
I lost the post from yesterday, can someone post a build for Kantrael XII?
And what's the preference between Vraks VII and Kantrael XII?
jesus
I will make it all crumble
What is the best Veteran accatran mk for armored ? Vlla , II , or Vld ?
sustained lol it shoots to fast to convert to a controlled burst ranger trash clearer
fire frenzy
i use speed reload too
cause if im pressed i can keep up defence (offense)
Most of them ain't that great, but if you're hellbent on it. The 6d
6d and pick all the rending perks
Or pick another gun

Pick another gun
hmm
elevator bugged? wtf
nice
looking for the best armor dmg while having good mag - recoil and rate of fire
what is the best pic k?
Oh, it's that situation
You in for a spicy ride
You gotta have someone down there to pick you up
Or
have a shout+revive vet on your team to pick up whoever is brave enough to suicide down there first

just left the mission
plasma
Try Columnud iag if you like automatics
Columnus
columnuts
yee auto with big mag
if you want a dakka gun, columnus. it’s good
recoil pattern’s the same as every other IAG anyway
A deadshot colum build can get like 2.5k DPS on a crusher
Even if you hate Deadshot like me you can still get close to 2k
No exec stance
What about Kantrael MG weapons ? La XII IV ?
They're good but I thought you wanted auto
oh ,they are not ?
your choices for full auto weapons are the shredder autopistol, infantry autoguns, braced autoguns and recon lasguns
Veteran Talent Changes
'Twinned Blasts' changed from 10% to 20%.
'Trench Fighter Drill' changed from 15% to 10%.
'For the Emperor!' changed from 20% to 10%.
'Bring it Down!' changed from 25% to 20%.
'Marksman' changed from 50% to 20%.
'Skirmisher' changed from 3 stacks to 5 stacks.
'Close Quarters Killzone' changed from 30% to 15%.
'Fire Team' changed from 3% to 5%.
'Confirmed Kill' changed from 25% + 25% over time to 10% + 20% over time.
'Out For Blood' changed from 2.5% to 3.5%.
Good on ammo tho
trench fighter was changed for the weapon swap keystone
they all were changed because of keystones
does recon vld have same dps as column ? as the first have 2x the ammo but half the dmg ?
Worse dps
Esp against maniacs
It quite literally does 1/3rd of column dps on maniacs
they trashed recon
different weapons scale differently into armour types
it had shit dps on non headshot anyways
they also have different blessings available which can affect the dps
columns V Infantry vs columns II Braced ?
go the columnus, you want big mag, good recoil and damage
it’s the columnus you want
Recon can be somwhat competitive vs column on carapace but it still hoses ammo
And against maniac it is just sad
both columns
infantry autogun
If youre going braced I think agri is better
The piercing is really strong
hmm , no dodge limit on braced ? according to wiki
Less dps and fire rate than column though
More precision tho
Nurgles blessing always feel like such a non-thing
Worth it for everything except recon
They gutted how it works for recon
Only refund the first bullet of a crit string now
ok I'm good but I'm not THAT good...
Kantrael 12 can go basically an entire game without an ammo pickup with it
Other single shot lasguns can abuse it for near infinite ammo though
Try column
Then
It's a good swiss army knife gun
Run survivalist so you don't run dry on ammo
but it is not considered a las , is it ?
It's not
so the node wont proc
But you don't need shocktroop to shoot nearly the entire game
Column has great ammo efficiency to dmg
And a huge mag
Survivalist will help too
what makes infantry better than braced for columns ?
It's doable, but is it pretty? Nah. There's other ways to reach the breakpoint too, but I don't like'em.
Iag vs braced is basically the secondary action
oh , braced does not have ads , does it ?
Nope
Stats and function, there's a big difference
Ads helps Columnus for picking off snipers and gunners and shit
which is vet spec
At least is why I go for it
Who's playing
The work is complete, BEEG iron
curious whats the likelihood we gettin Solar Auxillia cosmetic in the future lol
Now that's a good one
Hand cannon looks like such a good blessing
10/10 cosmetics, the heretics will never see me coming
Low damage high ROF doesnt really work for braced autoguns because you can't be precise with it and it doesnt have the ammo economy to sustain spraying
Agri works better for braced because the piercing makes it easier to hit what you want
And the slower ROF makes tapping things to death in the distance more manageable
What ps skin is that?
is Power Sword the best for vet ? III or VI ? ( spectial attack seems good )
Power sword is great yeah
Looks to be using wep customisation mod from what I can see
yeah braced autoguns shoot faster while braced while doing more suppression/stagger, iirc
i mean the yellow one is a bad roll, ideally i have dumdum + deathspitter and maniac flak
Ah I see ty
the purple one has shit stopping power but i don't know how much it scales on columnus
worth taking ( crouched walking will regen focus ) purple node ?
Should I buy this?
I don't take keystones on my build personally
Plus you aren't crouch walking
do you have power cycler 4 unlocked
Just crouching for a quick shot
might be worth it for rampage IV i guess
I don't think so.
And only on long distance targets
I'm not a power sword expert but I think this is pretty good. Swap wrath for power cycler and carapace for flak.
if you get power cycler 4 replace wrath with it and carapace for maniac imo
you'll have a decent one
double maniac?
flak*
Hmm, alright, I'll pick it up. I only have Power cycler 3 atm
But if I come across it, I'll slap it on
personally i prefer brutal momentum to stunlock ragers on light spam tbf but it's pretty good still
I have a hard time getting away from my chainsword with rampage and wrath
sexy
so did vet get nerfed even more?
no
I preferred Savage Sweep to Wrath, you tried that combo?
those were changes in patch 15 that weren't documented
yeah
ah
they already stabbed us and now just wanted to tell us about it
oh that's fun
don't think you need cleave on powersword
If you have PC4 then yeah
the special gives you cleave that's why you take power cycler
People already found and posted the shadow nerfs. They're just official nerfs now 😂
No. The keystones are great
(power was moved into the keystones though it's not 1:1 ofc)
Thought he was talking about a chainsword there
I think a vet main fucked a dev's wife
its from the Extended Weapon Customization Mod
got a shit one but i stopped using it after the vet tree revamp, can't get my melee attack speed with my build
I don't even take the keystones 😔
The middle keystone rewards doing what you should already be doing
On my tryhard carry build I dont take keystones either
The right keystone is also pretty free as long as you're using a weapon that doesn't take 5 years to swap to and actually melee things
I’d feel rewarded if I didn’t have to sell my kidney for it
also i hope people know exhilarating takedown is bugged and actually INCREASES damage taken
There is too much incredibly useful utility
yeah, the keystone itself is fine but getting there is another matter rofl
I get more dmg taking other things than middle key
Right one is good but I don't use the guns that synergize well
Is there a bug report on the forums for the exhilarating takedown thing?
Specialist keystone is good if you have gone with a Stripped Down build
your own personal damage will naturally suffer since it's so expensive to get down there
My last auric mael run I did 700k dmg and two of my teammates did 300k
I'll stick to buffing my own dmg
Jk
Seriously though id rathwr take the nade perks
If I want to help team
Is there a decent autogun with a reflex sight?
Extra frags saves runs
Weapon customization mod
Is there any strong laspistol build?
weapon customisation mod
Ragers when they hear you got a MG12 and a combat axe
I'm hoping they go through and cut some of the fat from the tree in patch 16
ffffuuuuu (I'm the MG 12 Lasgun user).
There'd probably less complaints about the keystones if they weren't so darn expensive to reach
It's not like all the other classes' keystones are exciting either
why does it exist is a better question
Ya know, right keystone would be decent if it didn't just go away after 5 seconds but, instead, lost stacks one by one for longer. At least give us a but longer of an uptime.
there is not a single build in the game that likes born leader
Ya'll think Weapon specialist is worth it over getting other stuff
depends on weapon
doesn't it count for first shot and first melee only?
well, depends on gun tbh
Let's say Plasma
Your best bet is to use the combat axes poke (or the shovels poke) to stagger. If you have shredders they can stagger as well
is brittle on hit blessing for plasma applied on initial shot
Stagger the rager packs and make everyone else deal with them
Assuming you didn’t get in a lobby with 3 stealth zealots
but also no afaik
(only tested briefly)
feels to me like they approached keystones with the idea of nerfing whats popular and the answer to that was middle path for every vet build
I thought it lasted for 5 seconds.
except now its stupid and my helbore build cant have ogryn&monstrosity damage unless I go middle lmao
I use the Rashad, and this is good to know.
and not sure about right keystone + plasma
the swap speed makes it kinda of questionable
nah its fine
The only big win we got was precision strikes being super accessible tbh
hmmm
Plasma swap speed is fast wdym
confirmed kill was moved to a nice place too, though it was also nerfed
plasma has to have the speedup blessing tho
oh my mistake then
I swap weapons every match and use all four classes so I've only used Plasma a few times. remembered wrong then
i run knife bleed build with plasma
I use a small arsenal of different melees I find the antax mk v to suit me the best out of any of the axes because of its simple move set
its slow at other things
but it comes out fvast
when you swap
also new CK spot is just as annoying as old one to me
i cant take the reload speed anymore now lul
without wasting more points
I mean, everything is kind of annoying right now because of how deep the trees go aha
Nice, I'm still pretty new to the game but I'm slowly collecting weapons that suit my playstyle and needs.
plasma is just a revolver with bigger clip and cleave tbh
the location itself is pretty accessible
Plasma is a pistol you can't aim as well for far distances, and it can blow up in your face
i'm just coping with this
uinless they buffed it
Best bet is to wait til you’re level 30 before you go to hadron, you unlock her earlier but you wanna save up your plasteel for when you’re max level. I thought it was like vermintide where you just need one max lvl char to get max power weapons across all your characters but I was wrong
Kill Zone is even worse
it's also extra painful that Survivalist + Shout is kind of the go-to
So don't even think about that
you only get more free points when you specifically beeline straight in order to get more points
I think I'm good on the level 30 requirement ;P
deadshot is a thought too
worth it for Vet?
Not terrible
Nice I just heard u say new and assumed you’re still leveling up
Absolutely, even as just its base
i mean considering i'm spaming MKV on everything felt like the most value out of what i could grab
What blessings on curio's do you guys prefer? Curious.
there's 5% crit i guess
Thank you for the advice regardless
Toughness, Health, then either gunner or sniper resist
why not grab field improv or demo team lik ei said
those are really good utility nodes
I mean blessings, not the perks. So wound,toughness,stamina
I did it like this
Id swap unarmoured for unyielding maybe
No problem the best advice you can ever get is to simply enjoy the game its pve the stakes aren’t high
toughness x3
You won't be magdumping that into bosses, so I don't see why you'd do that
Keep at as unarmored so you can more easily oneshot gunners
pretty sure plasma already knock sout treapers easily
no surv oof
and yeah plasma is still not for dumping on bosses
is that to hit a breakpoint for a weapon
dont rly care, I have a version of this where I take shock trooper for helbore.
looks like you picked up every +dmg you could possibly get lul
yes cause I'm tired of having to solo monstros and DHs in auric games as a fucking squishy sharpshooter vet
i'll try demo team, should be better than field improv in auric considering how stupid the waves are
It also does melee better than sharpshooter build
So I'm not missing out by not getting the Keystone modifiers?
cause again this keystone and its buffs applies to both weapons
and the buffs are not weakspot specific except precision strikes
field improv got an indirect nerf with how they removed an ammo crate and medpak from the male
maps
lmao
the right keystone is definitely the best one, even if you cant take the modifiers
so if all you can grab is the right keystone itself and it works for your weapon, its still pretty good
For Weapon Specialist I'm only taking the ammo regen if using revolver/shotgun specifically. The stamina looks nice but kinda too deep... The rest I skip
what can i improve here?
support Vet fun
and shotgun reloads quickly enough that if I really wanted another point I'd still remove the reload add-on
a new power sword
melee damage to flak
Pretty sure maniacs already get x3 melee damage so change that out
power cycler 4 though in seriousness
I think that the hellbore needs to have the time on its deploy reduced, personal opinion
oh wait
but i'd probably move maniac to flak since you already get some +maniac dmg from that specialist perk
that's my biggest issue with Helbore tbh
0 dealths, and they're all low levels
thanks
Where did you find those teammates
(that and the sight blocking way too much)
kinda dumb how specialist dmg is basically just aworse version of manic dmg lol
Laughing like a school girl rn
I end up having to spam bayonet stabbies since swapping is so slooooow
nice
I had high af level motherfuckers earlier, and we all got trappered in the first room 
I simply drugged them to hell and back UwU
LOOK
mutants extra melee dmg, not all maniacs
Love the sights, would prefer something like the dot on the starter rifle, but the deploy is AIDS
you did what
a player with enough buffs will overcome even a lvl 500 player uwU
For curios, max health is 21, max toughness is 17, max wounds 1. Get three of each so you can mix n max, it's a pain checking Brunt every hour but worth it imo
every support node I could reasonably get
I don't care how many buffs you put on someone
you drugged them???
you don't???
I WILL TRY
one trap sidestep > all the buffs in the world
I haven't used the Plasma yet but was wondering if this was worth picking up from melk?
Toughness and VoC is beautiful tbh
You're not supposed to use the stimms from the carnival they're bad for you
Who do you think took them all
if you ain’t got one it’s not a bad place to start
It was 100% sheo
just need enough damage so you can kill everyone to make room to dodge UwU
Just kept stuffing their pockets
honestly
plasma is very easy to make
dont waste melkbucks on it
good Vets are constantly drugged up 24/7
I don’t think this is true unless a patch changed something https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/nKxhQbvVTy
plasma blessings are all pretty much mediocre to shit
if you're not on stims, are you REALLY a vet?
the real drugged up vets are the ones taking middle keystone and binding tag to LMB
I'm Cadian, I'm too angry for stims to work
I tested range damage too
(please don't do this rofl)
80 +80 rolls and a VERY specific 73 charge rate, would'nt call that easy tbf
at least only get hot really matters
but they do
4 purg psykers with lmb on ping for maximum ping duration uwU
huh, I guess the only reason we think of it as melee only getting extra dmg is because of how inflated it is
Everything burns
Drippin
The plasma chart is pinned IIRC
it’s nice
And the difference is like 5 base damage
So has anyone warmed up to any of the keystones? I feel like it's just too hard to justify taking them over other talents
From going for 80 instead of 73
some people have, some people haven’t
focus target is actually good honestly
I dont think its bad, I don’t think its worth the point cost
I do feel like that's the best one. That it comes with 10% permanent rending is also good
I personally really like Focus Target too
@formal lake are u running a stam curio or are u just going 1.5 stam on ur perks
I tried really hard to make focus work but it just feels really bad
its really easy to make Focus work
it’s hard for me to warm up to any of the keystones when they’re expensive af
how i ujsed it
was i bound mark target to my shoot button
and just played normally
LUL
i know you're supposed to like wait 10 seconds but fuck that
spam ping to assert dominance
at least on paper, ping keystone looks good :p
wish they would just connect the lanes like all the other classes
i find it funny they did it for the first row
and then like
forgot
for every other row after that
shorten the tree, combine some talents and connect the fork
And off of paper
Fatshark pls consider my tree rework
This is the build I decided try out for now with a keystone. Feels pretty strong in the Meatgrinder.
yes
Ain't gotta wait if you take these two nodes specifically
Sorry but ur fansy keystonee remaining underused on auric just forgetting to use them when shit kicks in
how is it
I think you should drop the Weakpoint talent for Longshot (near the top) because its a damage buff that doesn't need headshots
you still want CK
out for blood is only good into hordes and won’t save you
the amount of damage you take vs regen isn’t enough just to use out for blood
tossing grenade into a horde for a quick toughness boost sounds nice
why'd they nerf ck so bad 😔 my boy
you’d get like 20% toughness at max per grenade
since shredder does inconsistent bleed damage rn
Confirmed Kill needs another buff
maybe 25% on kill and 25% over time
that sounds right to me ;)
Sounds like a great idea
exhilarating takedown also needs to be made into a buff instead of a debuff
I think 15% and 20% regen is good, if combined with a working exhil take down
just for you 300% damage taken no other effect UwU
You mean on left click, right?
veteran would be pretty nice for toughness with a keystone that we could reach
Yeah that's what I figured
by the way, do you actually get 10 crits from ranged stacks on weapon specialist or one guaranteed crit
yeah to get my keystone, I had to turn my "tree" into a stick lol
1
One
...
I just got this. :3
You're
yeah i'll stick with focus target i guess
"We have saltzpyre at home"
Lucky!!
Saltzpyre but nowhere near as sexy
As it should
