The world if boltgun drew as fast as plasgun
give it more ammo reserves, problem solved for me
it don't even have dumdum on
, just melted a plogryn earlier with it
2k reserves, never need ammo again
Oh whoops, wrong one
I'm fine with it being finicky on ammo if it just drew as fast as plas
but that draw time is so painful
and no swap speed on tree to mitigate it is sad
Is cleave damage a dump stat on power swords?
boltgun draw speed is like some kind of a deadlift animation
columnus iag has pretty good maniac damage
Solution: Give Plasma same draw speed as Bolter
actually doing curls with the gun as you draw it
its gonna look good in that comparission
the monkeys paw curls
cat pfp cat pfp cat pfp
you can dump both cleave stats imo, they barely do anything
with how many folks play bolter with surgical, it seems like you ain't doing snap shots anywho
from what i have seen of bolter, the selection of blessings is so poor anyways that surgical is one of the only decent ones people can get anyways
even then its like the crit is for some damage i guess, bolters already annihilate armor anyways
i dont bolter enough to speak as an expert
Surgical/pinning is prob best offensive combo atm
is running 3x3 Stamina curios for Deadshot bad? xd
no cause deadshot only takes so much
There's odd choices in this build
I won't lie, I love my basic kantarel. Additionally, I prefer the one with the slowest fire rate.
3 stamina curios for the columbus deadshot experience UwU
I too love the Kantreal shotgun
Fire shells > Infernus
smort choices
50% pickup speed
never alone
stay in coherencey
I wouldn't use it myself but based
Hard disagree. There's many things you can improve in this tree
TF2 and Darktide are in the same setting
Mod shenanigans
wait how do you re name stuff
Blue and Red team simply took a "slight" rebranding
is it in the files or a mod
Mod
what mod
Weapon Customization Mod iirc
I'm currently swapping between Bolter, Plasma and the Kantrael MG XII.
The Plasma is just incredibly good, but the Lasgun is really fun cause you can just PewPew anything away which has no carapace (for that, I have Kraks).
Same mod that lets you do this
Stop
Shovel time
wait is the MG XII still meta? I haven't played in a few months
Or was it the Favorites mod?
No longer meta, still good
mg1a and mg4 are competitive with it now, on equal footing
No idea, prob. not
MK12 is like Purg staff, literally untouched for months
rude awakening when I went to bust out my trusty power sword
for meta trash killing, you probably want infantry autogun
same setup with the infantry lasgun. Crack Gs for armored convoys while the rest get the Fallujah Blaster lasgun treatment.
I prefer the lower click rate because that saves my mouse xD
plasma is just a better helbore currently, though, which makes me a bit sad.
so chainsword is the new meta melee right and is the dump stat still shred?
I don’t think the difference is too big
I absolutely love the Bolter, but it needs a serious ammo buff...
Helbore does get rid of the heat and ammo issue though
Autofire mod allows you to just hold left click instead of spam. Makes laspistol way more viable
Helbore is more versatile with faster shots (even with mk3) and better ammo efficiency
So Helbore has its place over plasma still due to its ability to sustain
lasguns overall are great on ammo, but since I'm a huge psyker nerd, heat management has never been an issue for me
It’s nice having options
Helbore with surgical has infinite clip which is nutty
Plasma gun and helbore should ideally both be good to pick if the game is balanced right hopium
It still doesn't mean its not a limiting factor for the plasma. Especially in "oops all ragers" situations
damn I'm for sure not gonna brick it when I can play later today 
I'll look into that, though I'm not a fan of modding online games cause of...reasons.
My team psyker RAPIDLY pinging the single rager attacking him instead of forcepushing UwU
Nutty statline. Brick time
Well the devs said mods are fine unless it’s cheating that affects other players iirc
nah it should be kept as an oh shit/big boi gun not an anything and everything gun and restricting ammo enforces that
darktide mods are blanket-allowed as long as they don't screw with other players
The Fatshark team is monitoring the modding server, if it wasn't allowed then it'd be gone
maybe if they gave the helbore a proper sight, there's probably mods for this but I tend to abstain from them as a personal rule
Hmm..alright
with weapon customisation mod you can add sights to weapons
It is an option at least
Also macros are explicitly allowed by fatshark, including autofire ones
makes weapons you wouldnt touch amazing
I’m surprised healthbars is still around I mean yeah it’s all allowed yes
Also the normal iron sight is pretty serviceable for the hellbore. I wish it zoomed more though.
You can also absolutely fuck it up too
basically jsut download the first page or 2 of popular all time of nexus and your quality of life will be increased
Not more cursed customization
yeah personally i don't run healthbars but i do run debuff indicators

this kills the kriegsman
Its relevant to the convo so its ok in my books UwU
Hp bars is the closest you can get to basically cheating without being banned as far as I can tell
my killing floor training has taught me that only commandos are allowed to see healthbars

hold up, milk-drinker.
QRD me on the Snoop Dogg bomb, is it actually usable?
Btw what are smoke grenades good for exactly are they just a meme?
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/252 still not sure if this is QoL or cheating
I mean imo decode helper is less extreme of a mod than healthbars
ye fair
Huh.. Emprah gave me an actually good one after a year.
ya know, I'm suprised I don't see flak recommended for boltor more
since it needs it to 1 head gunners?
thanks, chief. 👈😎👈 doing good work
Unless high damage + elites can get it there
I have like 2 good guns and they're opposite ends of the spectrum
was kinda hoping resource grinding would be less painful by now
So basically what I get is that smonk could use some help by making it so it doesn’t obscure Allied vision?
that itself isn't really that big of a deal
who the fuck uses smoke grenades
problem is it doesn't stop snipers
you some sort of pussy
taking a foo foo head ass smoke grenade when you have the option of a frag or krak is borderline heresy
Smoke just.. Makes everyone angry lmao
Smoke nade erry day
(it probably is useful but how can it be more useful than the crutch that is the vet nade)
It doesnt stop ranged fire reliably.
It at least needs to be buffed to stop sniper shots, otherwise it's just preventing your team from actually seeing the sniper. On top of that, smokes could use some buffs like being able to extinguish fire
So you make it turbo cancer for classes without target marking to pull off their own counter ranged fire
How important is grenade tinkerer for shredder frags?
Not very imo, they fulfill their purpose just fine without it.
not very
I'd say grenade regen is much more important
^
I still do like tinkerer on frags if only vets didn't have such a tight points budget
Its mainly the difference between "possibly getting hit" vs "yeah you got this revive"
Its not bad, but not worth going out of your way for
It does boost your damage to the point where it would kill people reliably
Especially if you meme and go full nade regen
Just throw 2 frags, problem solved :DDD
do the other classes get more points?
Demo Team + Stockpile + nade count talent UwU
Psyker has 80 nodes, Vet has 100
No, vet just has way more talent bloat
I've only ever played vet like the god emporer intended
Both only have 30 points
gotcha
Also Vet is forced to make bad decisions
no twinned blast, heresy
twinned blast smoke nades
D:
I'm good at making those naturally so that why I play vet
"Want the most universally good Keystone? Got to take 3 bad nodes that do nothing on the way there"
Thanks Fatshark
anybody knows if the following pennance works with survivalist talent or i need the basic scavanger ?
it works with the other auras
ah cool
just keep survivalist on and you're good
Aight fellas, after exhaustive amount of testing, we figured out the most insane god rolled weapon in the game
it is a plasma rifle
for it to be a god roll, you need:
%80 Damage, %80 Stopping Power, %73 Charge Rate, %77 Thermal Resistance, %70 Ammo
the only thing you can compromise here is ammo
but don't go too low because it will affect your ammo generation with survivalist
%73 charge rate + max dmg and stopping power for max dmg on shots
%77 thermal resistance is the lowest you can go if you wanna shoot 4 times instead of 3 when you went down to %59 heat
You'll need Blaze Away + Gets Hot for some crit + power increase one shot shenanigans
I almost have this
whats the dump stat on plasma?
Got 79/80/73 can't remember ammo and thermal
no dump, ammo is barely a dump stat
Nobe
None*
It's the hardest weapon to get perfect in the game
Basically need a god rolled 375+
well I assume its not stopping power though
the thing is
I want to say ammo, but that’s also important somewhat 
stopping power aint one unfortunately, some of your maniac breakpoints depend on your stopping power and damage
Also it's bugged so you need a super specific charge rate
This bless combo only really does stuff vs Bosses
it is also great for ramped up blaze away + crit one shots
i feel like trying to roll an exact charge rate plasma is a waste of time, its marginal where it matters and when they fix it then it wont be ideal
Glory hunter is a good second blessing as well
I reckon this is the best one I have currently
Not sure it can be fixed
It's built into the weapon
I hear ya tho
just too good to have gets hot + blaze away
I have a diff plasma with blaze away and gets hot
Not the god rolled one
But it does shred bosses
ok so
Plasma is why brunt is evil, ina. Nutshell
here is one thing I'll tell you guys
perfect charge rate goes up in incrememnts of 8
only exception is
73, which is the absolute best
all the other ones im typing here are the second best tied to damage numbers
56, 64, 72, 80
48,40,32,24,16,8,0
good enough
anything below 56 is not worth considering though
that's a good one with volatile, i'm sure volatile is fucking up your early damage breakpoints with its stacks tho
that's why i don't like running it, makes my damage inconsistent
its first shot damage would be high, then low, then high and then drop off
for consecutive shots
it is quite interesting indeed, why did they code it like this? who tf knows?
or as stacks dropped, i should say
i mean i already 1 shot everything outside of ogryns and maulers so
why is chlnk in the armour not working? because why not?
dont see that it really matters
common psa that charge rate also affects thermal resistance for some reason
it is mostly for special breakpoints
what really annoys me is the flamethrower breakpoint
i think it is the most influentiel breakpoint sometimes, game really changes if youcan one shot em at any distance
the charge rate thermal resistance interaction may actually matter in terms of volleys loosed, as it means you may be losing out on an extra shot in your volley depending on your charge rate/thermal resistance
i did the testing
even at minimal charge rate cycles
it doesnt seem tied to your thermal generation
i tested with an %80 %80 plasgun
and a %20 %80 plasgun
doesnt mmake a difference in terms on %59 4 shot breakpoint
as long as you have 77 thermal
what do you think is causing the interaction here?
another person here claimed to do some testing with and without volatile and found that it did affect how many shots they could fire
oh yeah, interesting
this one
ill create some videos quick
ok so
it does make a discrepancy in the thermal heat generation when you are going from 0 to 100, that is correct
but, the difference between a very low charge rate gun and a very high charge rate gun doesn't change the 4 shot breakpoint from %59 4 light attack shots breakpoints
ill upload some videos in a bit
i'm willing to say then that like with damage, the shift is minimal
Hmm
but though minimal, the fact that charge rate has an affect on damage or thermal res at all is just

why
i know brother lel
should I grab Focus Fire + Something else for a boltor + shovel build, or should I grab precision strikes
i was mainly testing the 4 shot breakpoint, because that's why i tend to do in games
vent twice to %59, shoot 4 times
yeah, i was looking at the interaction as a whole
and am curious why the code is like that
Something like
i'm pretty sure the charging part of the animation has it's heat tied to a timer
competitive urge could be something else, just a decent filler node for the last point
because charge rate is low, we stay in the nimation timer longer
i like the first build
because we stay in the animation longer, it just u builds a bit more heat
Focus fire seems really good when I have the other two points already which has me tempted for the second
'that's just my theory tho
But I think precision strikes gives me some really good BPs on boltor
possible, i also had a similar theory but in reverse, and also had evidence against due to the other fella who tested
but initially i thought that the longer animation possibly allowed for a slow thermal tick down that eventually accumulated into enough heat dissipated to shoot an extra shot
but it turned out shooting faster meant more shots
yeah, I'm feeling pretty confident in my theory there
classic fatshark fuckery tho
why is this even a thing lmao
certified fatshark moment
here's a comparison tho, ill record some real short videos
behold
about as good as I could do with a year of time
and this was the BA/Gets Hot one. Not as nice but honestly it's not too far off.
changing subject, do you guys think this is a fair analysis of what Veteran is/should be
- Very high ranged dps, average melee, low durability
huh neat
oh damn
with 5 stack tag I can 4 shot a crusher on my boltor
i would like it if the skilltree allowed flexibility on those, but for the left tree i would get behind it
let me record em much shorter
so like obviously the skill tree would allow flexibility here
but I mean generally a design ethos
that still generally holds true regardless of build
I don't think the not sure low durability should specifically be a part of their design ethos
e.g. a shout/toughness Vet would never equal a zealot or ogryn in durability
but it is a durability option
Ehhh
oh well, seems like it wont let me post here, the video is literally 10 seconds long kekw
would you trade ranged dps for durability?
Absolutely
gladly
I think psyker is the real low durability one. I like the notion of vet having a solid durability tech tree
and in fair point, we already do as is
i mean that's kind of why shout vet exists right 😄
i think its 2 and 2
Psyker and Vet are the glass cannons
I think it should be 1 2 1
other 2 are anvils
You have psyker that is glass
psyker actually has a lot of toughness regen tools in their kit, though they do have next to no toughness dr
you have vet and zealot that are the mid road
they however do have the ability to completely ignore ranged on crit
hmmm
and then you have ogryn which is a fucking wall
which is an incredible survivability tool
i don't see Vet as = to Zealot durability, that doesn't make much sense to me
one is a front line fighter
the other is a ranged killer
my understanding, zealot keeps takiness so long as they are actively murdering. Take away heretics to purge and they will fold like a wet napkin
Then its a sliding scale
if anything its scaling. Ogryn > Zealot > Vet > Psyker
Sure
Vet has the best options for killing things before they become a melee problem
okay well that's good then, we can agree on that
or second best since psyker doesn't use ammo
the gist of it was:
Plas rifle going from 0-100 there is a discrepancy, but:
If you have at least %77 thermal resistance, venting to %59 and shooting 4 times is possible
charge rate doesnt matter, with the weapons i was testing with
Testing is done with:
%27 Charge rate + %77 thermal resistance plas rifle
%80 charge rate + %77 thermal resistance plas rifle
Important thing to note: Even if you have %80 Charge rate %80 Thermal resistance, you cannot get to 4 shot heat breakpoint from %60. It has to be %59, which is really doable because it drops by a point by the time it takes you to went from %100 to %60.
old veteran definitely fit the bill of a ranged fighter, but new veteran blurs the line quite a bit - they're also great in melee in our current patch
But I think vet having a solidly defensive setup should be in their options
oh for sure
because they are by far thematically the closests suited for the melee ranged frontline dance build
but they have that now right?
Kinda
at least, they have the taletns for it
but tree problems make it hard to actually leverage it
Stun everything in front of them and get overshields every <30 seconds, I think that counts
they can't necessarily get all those talents into a build
agree agree
you could functionally pick up most of what old veteran had, but a lot of what old veteran had has been nerfed or removed
exec stance vet currently is still capable of loosing a lot of damage, but lacks the dr to fight at range well
but my surivability is super low
I miss BRauto rambo builds 
kinda, it's tbh fine now that they fixed ET
how do u guys build kantrael shotty?
at least in my mind, against shooter rooms or gunner packs that make it hard to dodge
cause you can take 15% toughness DR fromt ree, coherency talent and ET and get away with no IW
lasgun kantrael?
yes
You can still do it with a ping build
shotty
weapon swap
ignore ranged damage nodes and go weapon specialist
Nobody tell hadron
and dead shot
Oh?
i will say I think Veteran has hands down the best keystones
they are all fucking nuts man
the issue is getting down to them
ChOnk in the armour is ltierally broken you get no rending after 10 headshot stacks
i don't take that node 🤷
but i'll also make sure that bug's reported
you tested that?
time to run some shovel/kantrael 
yarp, lemme see if I can find the screenshots
There's a bit more above but most of the science begins here
when do u use kantrael special?
high enemy density
tight spaces
bulwark shields

ty for this I'll test now
np! I tested with a IV las, Ham tested with a Vraks 7, I think there are mixed results with bolter and hellbores? If I remember correctly it might work on carapace but not maniacs
it works for me?
Kantrael 1a
without
Huh, would you be able to take screenshots?
huh this is weird
the number is never consistent
and seems to be random with or without
my damage is spanning from 30-67
no rhyme or reason for that
ah
okay apparently its specifically an issue within the meat grinder
swapping talents inside the meat grinder cause this issue
that's a bit silly lol
without
are you moving when you are shooting
no
with
works for me when I reset meat grinder
absolutely shits the bed when change talents within it
It is yes but shovel doesnt get bromentum which I think is must have if you plan to use bayonet
at least for mk3 its really weak without bromentum
I guess mk1/2 you can just use it as single target to nuke specialists which is fine

you are right johnny, it does go up to 60 something
you got the good emotes
i think it is
it is yeah
but reference against the 10% other talent to be sure
laspistol homie
i've really gone off the current las pistol a bit
I'd prefer a slower, heavier firing one
my secret copium theory is that melta/ogryn weapon/long las/chain axe/2h force sword will be the first paid for dlc weapon pack
like the one from VT2
i can't remember what it was called
but the one with the moonfire bow, trollhammer etc
10% rending is actually a p massive damage bump for a lot of weapons
yup
that talent used to be 15% and was nerfed
straight up additive armour ignore
Rending bad, simply accept the decay 😎😎😎
So I was really curious. And I made it a point to just use the bayonet for the entire misison on my Helbore mk1
I.. Was out meleeing Oggys
What the hell rofl
ghost makes sense but
hahaha bayonet?
I'm not joking I just spammed bayonet at head level lmao
Sometimes bayonet charged some specials that weren't paying attention lol
yeah that's fair, you give up a bit of damage for Ghost but imo worth it with Duck and Dive
i've been running shout so getting shot aint that bad
cause Ghost triggers it
there's a big problem with my setup though atm
because there is a literal drought of points in vet tree
if you wanna path middle and left this deep
i only messed about with it but I was killing muties HARD lol
you won't have any util perks
Yeah, perma ghosting setups are quite nice with deadshot
so i was running %10 rending only with utilitiy
definitely fun 😄
but man, %20 rending on laspistol seems ridiculous
imagine if in the next patch we had a tree we could explore more easily
ikr
that would be so cool man
i've had a guide for patch #14 for builds
i gotta update it for this patch but
it is pain to path though vet tree kekw
i had some good build vids I put together that are all outdated now -_-
waiting to see if any changes patch 16 before I remake them lol
same bro
Makes me wish we could stick bayonets on other ranged weapons now lol
updating every 2 weeks is so much work lol 😛
thats a good find though, so apparently the chlnk in the armour does work
just fucks up in psykanium when switched
kind of annoying the Psykhanium doesn;t tho
does sound a good bit like fatshark coding to me
I kinda want em to do sometning about survivalist aura as well
maybe give all vets base ammo regen, and make survivalist boost it up a bit more or something
seems unfair i have to path through left most of the time
no.
it already isnt most of the time lmao
"Most of the time" clearly it needs to be all of the time
Id like it more if survivalist had a different effect with the ammo being everywhere
touche
No opportunity cost UwU
exactly, like all vet auras have ammo but middle auras give other minor boosts or soemthing interesting
Ironic considering the +5% damage aura isn't even the worst one
Psyker has a +5% elite/specialist damage aura lol
Fatshark and numbers is rough
And people actually pick it over -10% cooldown lmao
Have they nerfed assail into the ground yet?
If no it doesnt matter xd
I always pathfind my psyker to get that one
2s -> 3s on cooldown
okayge i think i will sticky to catachan cuz idk how to deal with rager pack with shovel 
No then xd
I noticed a decrease in Assail spammers
I stopped playing with pugs completely
The idea behind the ability is cool but its so unfun to play as/with
i feel so squimshy without iron will
Id rather use bb the entire round
Pugs are fine imo
Never have any trouble
btw is that with shout
Yeah
Me see any strong enemy
1+ charge for the middle keystone

Im not saying theyre bad(they usually are), I just didnt enjoy games withand 2+ assail players
Just better I guess
Damage buff refresh UwU
yes takes a lot of skill to press the button I agree 😎
My main problem with psyker is that sometimes I get too spammy and end up casting at 100% 💀
oh fu--
Shout
use venting shriek
Ye
it will save you before explosion
Its so difficult to die with it its silly
I used it as a crutch
but lately as I gotten slightly better at avoiding 100%, I changed to the shield to support allies
because its comfy af to pop a shield at hearing any shot being done
i love shield, but VS on my trauma/blaze build does more for me
my allies can get their own cover
My point is they could literally just say “Up to +60% power on heavy attack based on charge time of attack” instead of unnecessarily convoluting it with “up to +20%, stacks 3 times” Lmao
Charge cd doesnt do anything imo since enhanced psionics or wesome the. NameI is gives u unlimited knives whenever it matters
Anyways hows the new vet talents
Im rotting in a hospital so didnt get to play yet
Vet is squishier but higher damage
sorry to hear man, is it serious? Hope you're doing okay
Goin home tomorrow, had a smol surgery
ah kk, well hope you recover well brother
Technically buffed if you considered Exhilarating Takedown working a buff
this is very accruate
meta builds v good
everything else is... not great atm
very limited options for building
but this could be easily fixed
How obnoxious is managing the focus buff?
Yeah shout build with ping keystone seems to be the comfiest so far
Seemed kinda weirdge when I first read it
Easier the more Rate of fire you have
It goes down slowly, not instantly
i mean it's 3 weakshot kills which can be achieved in 3 shots 😛
Vets just parroting shit without actually testing
and it makes some weapons insane
like weapons that miss 1 shot breakpoints
it makes them hit them
:( where boltgun
Tho plasma seems good now too
Plasma is top tier
Plasma is insane rn
Pogpogpog
it was 2 downsides and you can manage them fairly easily
but you could run plasma in anything, it's that good
Bolt good/bad?
Its not Recon lasgun levels of bad
I have it down around B+ atm
I think only weapon I say don't bother period is Recon
Rest are more or less usable
Recon is defo bottom tier atm but that could change if they update the tree
Recon with 'chink in their armour' and rending strikes would be fucking nuts
Im awaiting the day where the fatshark janitor wakes up and thinks "hm, crafting bad, changing blessings/weapons every 2 weeks makes player deal with bad crafting more, what could possibly fix that"
Fat chance 
Recon used to be good because it had immense rending and brittleness
More store cosmetics surely
Gone UwU
Recon VId good for 21 days
: Murder it
reduce it to ashes
Really happy I made one
I used all my resources to get a pretty pretty good roll of one
Yeah like the shocktrooper nerf hurt but without the brittleness and rending it just can't kill
Rn I am using Agri Autogun with a mod that makes it sound and look like is a fullauto las 
The coping never ends
You get used to it
patience
The suffering continues UwU
With shocktrooper nerfed as it is. 5% crit Imo is better as 25% flak
Suffering never ends OwO
Ehh, I had patience since beta
then a little more won't hurt 🙂
Recon post beta has been a meme gun
Considering its shit armor pen, I agree
But then id rather suffer doing something that doesnt give me brainrot for my invested time
There's always Terraria or something
Idk Core Keeper
terraria last update?????
Ive been trying out this funny cw mod forfor chaoswastes in vermintide2
Its been over a year since last update I hope the next update is good UwU
And its been very fun
Getting tbagged by 8 bosses at once was certainly one of the experiences of all time
looking forward to Rogue Trader
Owlcat games are supposed to be very good at making that kind of game
Rogue Trader day 1 18+ patch when?

Didnt they make pathfinder games?
they did
Iirc yes
damn plasma is actually really enjoyable now
Phospherex in an actual gun pls
choom
Should I buy this?
It is las?
Didn't think so
Not even Ultimate Apocalyse or Unification added Phospherex 😔
if u have the melkies spare
not sure if shredder is needed
Shredder's the special attack, innit?
ye
on Chainsword yes
unless you building it for the bleed chsword i think its good
dev for savage sweep
Cuz I think I have Rev It Up and Bloodthirsty
bloodletter and shred is what i use for my chsword
but it is shredder heavy
cause the shredder with bloodletter applies a lot of bleed
but for a general use swordu want savage sweep
I am tempted to use Bloodthirsty.
shred you can keep
i would swap elites and Devastating strike on that chainsword
But I am also tempted to use Rev It Up
i like ramage/shred as blessing combo for Vet
i mean its up to you what you want to do with it
rev it up is eh for me. unless you wanna speedrun missions
Eh, less "Speedrun" and more "Getting into melee"
feels a bit of a wasted blessing slot tbh
i find melee usualy gets into me
ye lol
like a fine wine
i think Rampage, savage sweep, wrath and bloodletter all better tbh
the cleave from savage or damage from rampage will serve well in melee and shred will let you manage hordes with spam light attack quite well
If you close out of las range, chain sword goes into your brain...ge
I mean, it's hard for me to get into melee IF EVERY ENEMY IS ALREADY DEAD BY GUNFIRE.
I have to keep changing Tasks if they're all in any way related to Melee.
what blessings do u guys recommend along with power cycler?
i use rampage
For a little bit of support, Supercharged.
My PUG experience is the opposite
ty
slaughterer also works good
I really wish I could shoot, but the Zealot is watching a fly go pass by
The reverse is true if I am stuck with Ranged Tasks
bugged?
35% power vs 36% power + 50% dmg
ye
New rampage blessing also applies old rampage blessing
oh nice
So effectively an 190% dmg modifier

I'm kind of thinking about taking Covering Fire to make my lasgun 0 ammo mag dumping even more useful, anyone wanna confirm its usefulness/roast me for even thinking about shooting the horde?
btw is vantage point bugged
Anyway, I was planning on replacing the Chainsword's Rev It Up blessing anyway, after I can earn a good blessing
holy shit why do people choose bolter/plasma to shoot a bruiser or two by themselves
i got it from doing a malice mission
i literally call out every single person who does that
Consider this: do you really need to restore toughness of your teammates?
Is it worth 1 skill point?
(I’d say no)
Because all classes have decent toughness replenishment methods
i want to leech my teammates toughness OwO
Zealots and Ogryns get their toughness from melee, if I'm shooting their clusters without giving them any in turn I am literally trolling
If you want to help your team more, take increased coherency radius
I mean, no, I don’t know what they would have to be doing in melee to be in constant need for toughness 
kantrael gaming
wtf
i just got brought down from 100 to 0 by an unknown number poxbursters lol
i hate this enemy
already have it but I only have the points for 5 stacks, on average killing the horde is going to give more toughness AND bonus damage
took enough wounds to literall youtright kill me without a down too
everybody calm until the poxburster conga line hits
basically LOL
Which average though ?
killed the run
the first and second poxbursters in a conga line don't get me, it's the third/fourth poxburster that somehow didn't explode together that gets me
just never had it outright kill me from full hp like that before
if it downed me that'd be one thing but i ate enough explosions from the conga line that i lost my wound apparently
Auric damnation has a looooooooot of elites to tag, though this is still a valid argument to stay the course
"increased poxbursters" is the one of the best maelstrom modifier
I'm theorycrafting while at work
I need to use infiltrate more, so I can direct a conga line of poxbursters aggro'd at me suddenly to my teammates
Talking bout covering fire
we died right after LOL
the smite psyker was trying to save the run but he cant kill fast enough with spoopy lightning
Istg if they don't buff recon lasgun ambatublo
my b shoulda clarified: thinking about taking covering fire (and maybe field improv) over tagging keystone, saving some points while staying useful to pugs
Covering fire is unreliable at best
my starting point
I still feel like covering fire is kinda niche and unrealiable
covering fire is hard to pick up (takes 2 pts if you arent going fire team) and half of it is useless (3 sec dmg buff)
i'd pick something else too
The only guns id consider for it are shotgun
hmm, wouldn't MG IV be better served by exec stance + left tree?
if you want to support pug teams more, just run more grenade perks
with shredder frag
i doubt you have demo team + nade regen + extra nade all together
Just that I think dealing with all the pesky ranged enemy is already massively supportive
Frags is better than smoke at dealing with shooter 
frags is the "save the run" button
You don't understand, you don't use smoke to deal with shooter, you use smoke to deal with teammates
when you're suddenly stuck in a room full of a shit and sandwiched between enemies from the back and front lol
shout knockdown + 3 frags can keep a horde at a standstill for long enough to salvage teh situation
yeah I really miss frags if I don't take it (e.g. for krak)
You dont 
I use smoke so teammates become blissfully unaware of the danger that is surrounding them
i think it's just kinda bad.
A lot of the time it isn't even a good idea to shoot things right next to teammates
wtf can the game put you back in teh same game you left ( on purpose?)
yes
zealots and a lot of ogryn builds kinda rely on having enemies near them to survive
Yes, why wouldn’t it?
it might be on purpose to discourage ragequitting
I left a game on purpose and wanted to requeue for the same map
Should it specifically flag the lobby you manually left as “I don’t want to return here”? 
wait a few min and reuquee
I'm tired of joining missions mid missions with shit health and shit ammo/nades
let me have a fresh start
If only people joining mid mission had full hp/ammo etc it would help
just let me spectate before joining lol
"Thanks for joining to replace a bot for this team, now eat shit and die"
This is Warhammer 40k universe for ya
My favourite is when I join and already down a wound, at half health, along with 3 dead bots
Or straight to the you have failed the emperor screen
"the fuck happened here"
tfw i join and the gun isn't even loaded
Thats the worst
What is bomber res? against bursters or bombers?
bombers
And its a bunch of 30s failing Malice 
bombers
i wish there was burster res
so apparenly carnival has another one of those boxes that you can sit on top of and the enemies can't path to you 
the weirdest pathing thing ive seen
is when i got trapepd on a map
but on the stairs
and my body was on one of the steps
but the mobs were on the other steps
and they couldnt hit me
lmao
they just stared
Heretics drugs mess with pathing or smth
apparently it also messes with their understanding of stairs
height in general
🤔
trappers and stairs never mix well
I've learned to avoid dealing with trappers around stair cases 
SOMEONE CALLED FOR A BOMB ?
the bombers will literally throw a nade from ivy, out middle, through our connector like some kind of NBA superstar dead center on your downed body which just got trapped through a wall
seen this quite a bit since new patch
i think they shoul donly be able to chuck with LoS available lol
tbh
but whatever
fix bursters being mute behind spawn doors first
Well TBF, our ogryns can countersnipe with rock tosses, so it's only fair 🤷
there's a particular door which is awful for this, you know the hourglass map when you come up the elevator and the medicae is to the right, and there's some platform outside?
I've seen countless pub teammates get insta burstered from that door
I have learned to stay away from that door 
oh yeah that one is bad too
so guys, favorite blessings on a shovel?
uncanny / decimator is a good pairing
take a swing / all or nothing is another pairing IIRC
nice, i don't have any of those
ya
i dont know why
there's some that i feel like you can hear behind
and then there's some
literally one time the door kept opening and closing
and it'd got BEEP BEEP BEEP nothing BEEP BEEP BEEP nothing BEEP BEEP BEEP
lik ewtf
how do u deal with a rager pack with shovel?
the special attack to wp can stun one, but multiple?
ok so what should i change the perks to?
Blaze away?
ok so I want to drop that ok for what
blaze away is not that bad imo, its even better when dealing with multiple packs of specials at the same time
is this good? its more if i shoude max it or melt it down
not to be discouraging
the SP is low
so you want a low charge rate
you ideally want exactly 73
and if not that
80, 72, 64 all okay as well
it's such an annoying gun to get a good one of
max it
difference is only 3-4%
it already has 2 good/decent rolls
you can change weakspot dmg to maniac and last slot to surgIV
is this worth building?
what woude a god like one look like? xD
honestly you don't really needa plasma with a good charge rate for that dmg. it feels the same when you fire anyways
flak IV and swap mobility roll with reload speed
so if I want to push the gun up in any way what am I looking for?
blaze away + gets hot are the best combo you can get imo
if you get surgical 4 on that bad boy you are set
also why does charge rate affect damage on plasma seems weird
for perks im not sure, maybe 25 flak and 25 unyielding or maniac
i'd pick flak and maniac
yeah same
unyielding only effects like 2 enemy types
I might have found a glitch...
i wouldnt bother with the charge rate thing really
chargers, you see everywhere
reload to maniac or elite and if you get blaze away to 4 it should be good
you wanna test the breakpoints
aka see which enemy you can kill in 1 less shot
so if it takes 3 shots to kill a rager and on the 2nd shot there is only a sliver oh hp left
anybody have a build for infantry lasguns
then uping elite/maniac will guarantee the kill in 2 shots
or The Build for infantry lasguns
iz ayt itd be nice if u had more damage and finese
this one?
thats the one i built for special att
yuh but now ur damage is kapoot
oh nah, the one that hits specials for guranteed crits
oh?
eh guess ill stick to psword for the time being
not like ill get a better psword anytime soon
lemme find it sec
this blessing
i rarely use my melees anyways. but when i use it, i like to use it on something tanky
is bloodthirsty really good?
cause the sp att takes up some time to use
and only the next melee att will be a crit
iirc people like taking savage sweep sweep for horde
wanted to build a rampage savage sweep chsword
yea i use shred and spam light att for chsword
revolver.
anyone have a god roll recon mk2 rifle?
What is the optimal Blessing for MK4 Devil Claw? Rampage + Shred/Savage Sweep?
i like rampage / skullcrusher
Best power sword ?
guys what blessings should i get for shotguns?
No Respite and Full Bore for Agri and Lawbringer. No Respite and Deathspitter or Fire Frenzy, or Full Bore (somewhat unreliable with 21 pellets) for Kantrael
thats great but building up those stacks is gonna suck
people say mk6 but i say whichever one you have that has better stats
thanks
all you need is power cycler 4
the mk 6 slows you down while you're charging, big turn off for me
Good roll? I think ghost could be good tbh. Just keep popping heads, right?
wasted nearly 200k gold on power swords and didnt get a single power cycler not even 3 or 4
yea
rip
melk gave me a bunch of pcycle 4 swords
i have all rank 3 blessings and almost all rank 4
execpt for power cycler
i gave up at some point lol
im content with only 1 energized attack
were you only upgrading swords with 350 modifier and above?
higher the modifier higher the chance for a higher level blessing
it helps
just continue logging in daily and lookin at melk hahaha
hmm thats good to know
yea
ok but for power swords, mk6 has a slower charge time and also slows you down if you are walking and charging it.
testing now
oh i'm a old man, manuevers like that just mkaes me ehh to attempt it
first heavy swing is also at an angle
i think i'm only good at like, sliding while running
pswod 6 perks are flaniac right?
how much is pen important for horde clearing chainsword?
Flak will mostly help you against Scab Ragers, so it’s not super priority a perk IMO
dont think pen is for horde clearing
i play this build by crouching the entire game, it is actually more viable than it seems with shovel kekw
hmm and if this were for elite dealing, with say bloodletter and shred how much pen should i aim at at least?
I’d just settle on Elites + something, but two-shorting Crushers with PA follow up and L4 is something somewhat desirable also
this is my psword 6. had it long before you could change blessings and perks i just upped pcycler from 3 to 4
what should i change flak to then
elites?
Maybe. See if that does anything for you.
cause ive been using a psword 3 for the longest time
I wouldn’t take Flak though - you already can murder Dreg bruisers with the thing, and you should be hitting Maulers in their heads anyway
Hmm so the DClaw parry works against Crushers
Not sure I would like to use it all the time tho lmao
Not like it kills them quick anyways
It might take a while to kill it
ngl i do that with my iag lolol
The parry is mostly a defensive measure
lol
Should let you reflect that overhead damage back 
But that would only deal what, 400 damage back to it?
500 maybe, I don’t recall the exact numbers
0.3s parry = mult by 3
what does crabbing the whole game do though
Training my 3rd Vet to farm Melk dailies, the utter degeneracy 
ooh.
you install the mod for extra class slots?
yeap
No Im just increasing the chance of getting PC4 from Melk
Will get it before Darktide 2 releases 
you mean will get it before 2 handed pswords get released
i swear 2 handed psword and psword better share blessings
i refuse to farm for pcycle 2 again
pcycle 4*
happy about this
no idea how to build mkV autogun i got a nice one but no idea what to slap on it
I think basically exactly what I have is what you want
is dumdum still bugged?
I believe so
this is what i got
Yeah I'd probably just swap Dumdum for Deathspitter and Unarmored to Maniac
keep punishing?
Dumdum is BiS, keep dumdum
ah
well seeing as i have exactly 0 blessings for inf autoguns
i gotta get farming
It won't 
hush
