They do not do much damage on their own

#

If you want to nuke a horde you have to throw 2

serene sage
#

Oh you don't have the buff active

opal loom
#

The fek is bleed synergy?

serene sage
#

The ping

opal loom
#

oh

#

....ping an elite then toss grenade?

serene sage
#

Ping it, kill it

gray stone
#

is deadshot still worth over precision strikes for something like plasma?

serene sage
#

Then toss

gusty sonnet
grave cargo
#

The bleed is extremely overrated and it's just an extra rider effect frankly

#

Ogryn and Zealot make their own blood

#

If you're taking frags to help out your teammates, don't, it's a rider effect

opal loom
grave cargo
#

Ogryns make 8 things bleed every time they swing

#

Zealots make 1-12 things bleed every time they swing

opal loom
#

I'm taking frag grenades to deal with hordes when pubs can't deal with them adequately.

grave cargo
#

They don't really need your help

gusty sonnet
grave cargo
#

If you wanna clear hordes take a devils claw

serene sage
#

Also yeah you want to throw 2 if you really want to do damage

grave cargo
#

The bleed is a rider effect that was so underwhelming as a talent they just rolled it into the base

opal loom
serene sage
grave cargo
#

Put it where it belongs, the trash, and git gud

#

Speaking of grenades

#

It's basically pointless to take the extra damage on kraks now huh?

#

Their boss damage is pretty pathetic and even with the buff still very w/e

opal loom
#

well seeing how hilariously weak it is, doesn't seem worth it. Can't even kill the weakest mob even with a +25% buff.

eternal crystal
#

sheesh

grave cargo
#

The 25% boost is for the radius too

#

Which imo is worth it

#

Frags were always something you threw to get off a revive or knock down a dangerous group

delicate moat
serene sage
grave cargo
#

If you wanted to clear you threw 2 with the bleed talent

valid bluff
#

How high would twinned grenade chance need to be for you to take it you think?

grave cargo
#

But I always thought that was pretty bad opportunity cost

ruby fulcrum
#

Or all charges that comes back once a minute or something

wanton dawn
#

Add mauler

grave cargo
#

Now that it's a rider effect, if you go middle tree you can skip to grab frags if you want to crowd clear fairly reliably

delicate moat
grave cargo
#

It's not bad just, not really what I want imo

#

Pretty much never wipe to a horde

#

Always wipe to ragers and trappers

#

Or those crusher trains

#

So I prefer kraks because it just reliably dunks on the most annoying enemies

#

Also it kinda depends on your melee

wanton dawn
#

I die on trapper mostly

grave cargo
#

If you don't bring a melee that can reliably deal with hordes frags can be a good help there

#

But also wtf are you bringing an axe on vet for

sharp ember
#

imagine if Twinned Nade let you pick up and throw back bomber nades

delicate moat
#

axe is insane

serene sage
#

TacAxe maybe not so

grave cargo
#

Go play Zealot you stinkers

serene sage
#

Oh wait you're the guy who never admits you're wrong

#

Lol

grave cargo
#

Explain

#

🤔

#

Are you factoring in Zealot's 50% crit rate

slow spade
#

if only Vet had Zealot's damage resist :c

grave cargo
#

Because I swear I do better on Zealot axe than vet axe

serene sage
slow spade
wanton dawn
#

Vet has a LOT of dmg buff. But poor dr

grave cargo
#

Like, more damage + way more survivability

#

I guess a lot of it is just Zealot's baseline stats

#

Better stam and such

#

Can play way more aggro with a Zealot

wanton dawn
#

Also zealot has stun resist

delicate moat
#

for rashad, do u just use special against rager pack?

slow spade
#

oh Zealot

grave cargo
#

The stam regen delay is normalized?

wanton dawn
grave cargo
#

And the sprint speed when out of stamina?

slow spade
grave cargo
#

Cause those are the two stats that kinda make Zealot way easier to go full rampage with imo

#

Oh yeah ok I thought he still felt

#

Better at a baseline

serene sage
#

Tbf kinda hard to get both -.25

grave cargo
#

I can't really get both anymore, I could last patch

#

Now it's just not worth it

#

Stamina regen is very good when SHTF

slow spade
#

because a lot of builds work around stamina

grave cargo
#

The delay is literally life or death

slow spade
#

the only build that doesn't really need stamina is plasma builds

wanton dawn
#

Stam is important for melee, current topic

slow spade
#

pushes, blocks, and block attacks too

grave cargo
#

Stam is important just in general, even if you go raw sharpshooter

#

It's still a safety net to gtfo when you need to reposition

fair jay
#

Only takes 1 curio to get 3 stamina at least

delicate moat
#

it was a me

grave cargo
#

Zealot used to have way better base stats

#

Now it just has slightly better base stats

#

Which axe is that btw

slow spade
#

Rashad

#

at least it looks like one

grave cargo
#

Rashad? Yeah ok

#

Interesting

#

I suppose I need to update my lore

#

I've been spamming chainsword

celest vine
#

Is deadshot necessary?

grave cargo
#

no lol

celest vine
#

Im trying to get one extra point

slow spade
grave cargo
#

Zealot really doesn't need any stamina stuff

slow spade
#

for plasma, no UwU

grave cargo
#

Not from trinkets

#

Arguably the only two guys that benefit from stamina trinkets are still ogryn and vets

wanton dawn
#

Sliding gods no more whatthefuck_heresy

slow spade
#

Columbus really likes crit due to its obscene crit chain

#

but yeah depends on weapon

grave cargo
#

Ogryn because, you can make shields stupid af rn since they force shooters into melee with that one perk

gusty sonnet
grave cargo
#

And Vets because, you kinda do like having good stam especially since Deadshot finally doesn't penalize you for having more stamina

delicate moat
#

does something like this make sense for an axe build? Or should I dip further into weapon specialist?

slow spade
celest vine
slow spade
#

also a single +3 stam curio helps a ton

grave cargo
#

God why is Fire Team still so fucking baaaaaad

celest vine
#

Its one of those “its really noticeable” things

slow spade
tall torrent
#

Thx

celest vine
#

Yes

slow spade
#

faster crits to really use that Deadly Accurate damage helps a ton

celest vine
slow spade
#

because fuck specialists

celest vine
#

I endlessly notice it

fair jay
#

Now that’s a lasgun

grave cargo
#

Deadshot is very strong you just have to build around it, yes, take at least one +3 Stam trinket and Duck and Dive

slow spade
#

yeah I'd use Deadshot on it, you can use the ping keystone or something to keep your stamina up in bad situations

celest vine
#

But im trying to scave one more point for extra ammo

cerulean void
#

do I cut scav?

grave cargo
#

Deadshot and Duck and Dive just need to be moved to the same tree or something

celest vine
#

But tbh lasguns dont use much ammo to start with

grave cargo
#

They're borderline twins

forest blaze
grave cargo
#

Fraternal

cerulean void
slow spade
forest blaze
slow spade
#

that's like 1-2 attacks at best

serene sage
forest blaze
#

You won’t get attacked while in low profile

floral lark
#

I like covering fire

serene sage
#

Also smoke over frag is a bold choice

grave cargo
#

Covering Fire is pretty irrelevant unless you use a high RoF weapon

slow spade
#

fucking discord

grave cargo
#

And even then still kinda meh

slow spade
#

somehow replied to Bismarck lol

cerulean void
#

lasrifle go pew pew

floral lark
#

But I play backline vet with the xii lasgun

cerulean void
#

straight silver lets go

serene sage
slow spade
grave cargo
#

You only really get value from it on hordes and your teammates shouldn't be dying to them

floral lark
#

Or if they're getting swarmed by ravagers

grave cargo
#

SHOULDN'T

#

God I did an Auric where a Psyker did 62k damage

#

What the fuck was that shit

delicate moat
#

how in the fk

#

were they spectating half the match?

floral lark
#

Taser psyker

grave cargo
slow spade
#

even a smite spammer should get more than 62k lol

grave cargo
#

Only using lightning

#

And being downed for half the match

#

I revived him 3 times

forest blaze
#

Only saber

grave cargo
#

And the other two 5 times

delicate moat
#

ah the downed-half-the-match isn't helping KEKW_ogryn

grave cargo
#

Fucking

serene sage
grave cargo
#

Heaviest team I have ever played with

serene sage
#

I think covering fire is not great

floral lark
#

Not every teammate is a bruiser ogryn

slow spade
#

Covering Fire would be better if it lasted longer

grave cargo
#

I was in fact a bruiser ogryn

slow spade
#

3s is barely usable let alone impactful

floral lark
#

And you shoot the ones they don't see

#

You cover them

grave cargo
#

I was a bruiser ogryn that was also on special killing duty

#

Yes team don't worry I will do everything

forest blaze
#

Ogryns with kickback are on special killing duty

grave cargo
#

No I like dancing sniper shots for 30 seconds while I juggle 5 ragers I don't need help

serene sage
grave cargo
serene sage
#

I mean if you like it, I won't hate

#

I just won't run it in the current iteration

floral lark
#

You also get to shoot the ranged enemies

grave cargo
#

Kickback is really great though

slow spade
#

yeah covering fire isn't a "bad" talent

#

its just not very impactful

forest blaze
serene sage
#

That's an understatement

slow spade
#

compared to something like Grenade Tinkerer + Shredder nades

forest blaze
#

Sillariously good

floral lark
#

Good for quick play at least

serene sage
#

Haven't seen anything outdamaging a decent Kickback Ogryn yet

teal abyss
#

How’s me Helbore?

grave cargo
#

I mean it's just nice for the fact it 2 shots snipers at any range

#

1 shots most specials up close

#

And can throw shooter gorups to the floor

slow spade
grave cargo
#

And actually has ammo now

slow spade
#

kickback needs a buff anyways

grave cargo
#

Pretty hard to find something to dislike

tall torrent
slow spade
#

assail tracking kickback pellets when?

grave cargo
#

But it's also not great for a gunlugger

forest blaze
grave cargo
#

It's excellent for skullbreakers and bullgryn

slow spade
#

I find it funny its the only shotgun with the Surgical blessing

grave cargo
#

Yeah it just doesn't get as much value out of gunlugger as other weapons do

slow spade
#

despite being the least surgical weapon possible

serene sage
grave cargo
#

Also you will just do more damage in melee, it's not very efficient at killing gunners or even really shotgunners

slow spade
grave cargo
#

Shotgunners, very close up yeah

floral lark
#

I’m surgical with this shit, how do you want it open or closed casket?

grave cargo
#

Gunners take 2-3 hits, you can 1 tap them with a crit at close range with fullbore

#

Not in my experience

#

But I don't have a perfect kickback

#

Running surgical 4 and full bore 4

forest blaze
#

My friend has a perfect kickback and he one shots pretty well anything at any distance

grave cargo
#

Very much dependent on range and if I can activate fullbore

#

It can crit 1 tap snipers from

#

So far away though

serene sage
#

You need more than 1 for dreg gunners with kickback close range?

grave cargo
#

Which is very fun

#

I think I could 1 tap at close if I had unamored but I don't

serene sage
#

Send that thing back for warranty friend

#

I hope it's still in the return window 😔

grave cargo
#

I can 1 tap mutants if I get any extra damage from an aura or something though

delicate moat
#

wait does this require a specific tree or is it just base?

grave cargo
#

Which is very funny

forest blaze
#

What gets me is that the unarmored dudes sometimes take 2 shots from the plasma. Like yo. I’m oneshotting crushers and you’re telling me this guy ain’t dead?

tall torrent
grave cargo
#

vs armor type is extremely impactful yes

delicate moat
grave cargo
#

Ok someone explain Competitive Urge actually

#

Is it good?

serene sage
#

Not bad. Uptime is surprisingly high

grave cargo
#

Or does it have some kind of unexplained effect to make it not function as well as it sounds

serene sage
#

It's fine to take if you have extra point

grave cargo
#

Like an internal cooldown

serene sage
#

I wouldn't take it over Ogryn damage

grave cargo
#

Because 2.5% is low but auric maelstroms are just a giant meatgrinder

tall torrent
serene sage
#

The proc can overlap and extends each other

grave cargo
#

Yeah so it's just full uptime

serene sage
#

They don't stack though

grave cargo
#

What're your stats?

tall torrent
# delicate moat like this?

You want 10% melee, 5% melee, 30% weakpoint and a godroll (>75% on every stat except mobility) Rashad axe with unarmored + flak, brutal momentum + headtaker/decimator/thrust to hit every possible breakpoint u care abt

grave cargo
#

No I mean as far as perks and blessings

delicate moat
#

hol' up i need to check my axe...

tall torrent
#

The scab bruiser 1 hit is somewhat hard to reach (talent point wise) if you’re building survivalist

#

Scab bruiser is 625hp

#

I tried a bunch of combinations and needed 25% unarmored, 10% melee, 5% melee and 30% weakpoint to get scab bruiser one shot

valid bluff
#

Ya know, the boltor having both bad ammo econ and bad swap speed is really what makes it feel oof I think

grave cargo
#

Cause mine does half that

valid bluff
#

I don't mind low ammoe econ when I can swap off and on it quickly to manage when I use it effectively

tall torrent
#

If you have desperado, yea

grave cargo
#

Or is that a gunlugger build

#

Cause this is my skullbreaker

valid bluff
#

but having such a low draw time makes it feel that much more noticable that its ammo econ is poor

tall torrent
#

Also I’m talking no headtaker or decimator stacks

#

Just first hit one tap

untold flame
#

I think just helping out bolters ammo econ and nerfing plasmas ammo econ could work to give them both niches

tall torrent
#

With just 10% and 5% melee?

untold flame
#

I really dont want them to touch plasma damage and cleave cuz that shit is pogryn rn

grave cargo
#

Daddy don't ignore me

serene sage
#

Azreal crits both times

grave cargo
#

Even my gunlugger doesn't 1 shot

#

Just does like, 250 more damage

#

Desperado eh

serene sage
#

Oh

grave cargo
#

yeah I didn't think that was something you could get on a kickback

tall torrent
#

Yea, you need 10% + 5% melee + desperado/precision strikes

grave cargo
#

Actually no seriously the fuck is your build and gun that your kickback 1 shots at that range

tall torrent
#

But precision strikes is generally the better pick because it helps ur gun reach better breakpoints unless you’re dedicating to commando tree and aren’t using guns that care abt that weakpoint bonus

grave cargo
#

I don't think 10% on 1 stat and like 3% of missing stats is what's make or break here

tall torrent
#

Precision strikes hits some very good breakpoints for a lot of weapons that it’s hard to not take it for a 2 point cost

serene sage
#

The number was yellow so Azreal crits while yours didn't?

untold mulch
#

Surgical is very good

grave cargo
#

Nah even if I crit weakspot it's still not a 1 shot

tall torrent
#

Now I’m wondering do I rly want duck & dive for helbore 2

grave cargo
#

FNP as in?

tall torrent
grave cargo
#

Yeah ok, so you're getting the buff from Payback?

#

Or does that not even matter for killing bosses

#

I thought they capped bosses to 16 stacks

#

Or is that only bleed and infernus

#

Fascinating

#

Skullbreaker does a stupid amount of melee dps I dunno what you mean lol

tall torrent
#

For a couple specific guns it hits breakpoints

For example Mk1 IAG gets to one tap all shooters and sniper in the head with 30% weakpoint

grave cargo
#

Do you use the mk3 bully?

#

It's pretty OP

#

You can 3 shot crushers

#

Handle hordes

tall torrent
#

Not every gun but some guns really do benefit from that weakpoint node significantly more

grave cargo
#

Stunlock bosses

#

I mean like, yeah a glass cannon is better

#

But I really disagree with Ogryn being a bad solo class

#

He has insane staying power, extremely good sustained damage, he's just weak to shooters

#

And that's kinda arguable it's just dependent on position and the map

gray stone
grave cargo
#

Zealot is a much better solo char I will totally agree

#

Really now

serene sage
#

Solo as in solo queue or solo as in just yourself?

grave cargo
#

I can't see Vet being usable for anyone but like, the absolute top tierest of players because he has such bad staying power

#

You make a minor mistake and you kinda just die

#

What do you mean I just press F and bowling ball the map

serene sage
grave cargo
#

If you start a charge while the netter is still running you'll knock them over before they brace

serene sage
#

I mean when they primed already

grave cargo
#

If you start it after, yeah you'll get netted but so will every other character

serene sage
#

Should have clarified

grave cargo
#

I guess i see what you mean about the AoE stun vs charge though

serene sage
grave cargo
#

I know what you mean

lost dawn
#

shoot the trapper maybe?

grave cargo
#

I just don't really see that as relevant to myself because I'm not near good enough to do solo runs nor insane enough for that matter

serene sage
grave cargo
#

The most I've done is C3DWONS with a group

#

Which is pretty much the limit to my ability to deal with Fatshark nonsense

lost dawn
#

i can def reload quick enough with rumbler and kickback

grave cargo
#

You're basically talking about a separate game than I am to that degree, so while I acknowledge your skill, I just have to say it's not relevant for myself or my friends

serene sage
grave cargo
#

Well I didn't initially see that as "literally solo" I thought he was referring to clutching

#

Now I see what he means and it's just, oh we're talking about two different things

#

Yes

#

Yes

#

I've watched Royale and such

#

Yeah no i can totally see why Ogryn would suck as a truesolo

#

No real disagreements there

serene sage
#

But rock hits mutants funny

grave cargo
#

I mean you can stunlock them

serene sage
#

Reddit told me so

grave cargo
#

Chaos Spawn and Plague Ogryn are a joke

tall torrent
#

It’s weird how an axe does more damage than every Ogryn melee weapon

#

That really surprised me when I started Ogryn

grave cargo
#

Difficult if there's other things active sure, but, in normal play ogryn completely trivalizes bosses

#

I mean

vital garnet
#

bromentum shovel or shield multi kills bruisers tho

grave cargo
#

I normally topscore damage on bosses anyways because bleed

#

Most people even in Auric are not really running optimal builds

tall torrent
vital garnet
#

it does

#

?

old quail
#

ogryn shovel does

grave cargo
#

Ogryn shovel is what he means

tall torrent
#

Oh Ogryn shovel, yea

#

Regular shovel doesn’t

grave cargo
#

yeah I don't see many vets in Auric

tall torrent
#

Sad

grave cargo
#

The ones I do are usually shouty supports

#

So not really dealing the most damage

#

I did get one vet the other day doing sharpshooter damage

serene sage
#

Oh no we are not going back to the middle tree = support no damage conversa

grave cargo
#

He was like, insane

#

Tapping everything with plasma

vital garnet
#

yeah I’m sure, I wouldn’t think ogryn would be best for TS

grave cargo
#

But most vets I get are usually more melee focused

#

Or just dying

vital garnet
#

great for clutch and hard carry. what’s your preferred for TS? Vet?

grave cargo
#

Ogryn is strong for clutching revives but no I would not argue Ogryn would be good for TS

#

He's a little broken right now yes

#

You really have to try to make a bad Ogryn

vital garnet
#

yeah zealot I figured would be my pick if I was gonna TS

serene sage
#

Krak?

#

Oh Ogryns

vital garnet
#

all the movespeed too

grave cargo
#

What's the bug?

#

That's a really bad bug!

#

Wow

serene sage
#

No I'm trying to understand this cause frag is a type of made

#

Ohhh lmao

grave cargo
#

Yeah I haven't crunched the numbers but

tall torrent
#

Fire nade is great

grave cargo
#

Wow does fire do a lot of damage

#

They're usably good

#

They're just not, yeah, incredibly versatile

#

Except the bully clubs

#

Those are the most versatile

#

Cleavers do silly damage but nothing to armor

#

Also don't have amazing stagger

#

Shovel is kinda pointless now imo with the bully club buffs

#

Unless you specifically want to do brutal momentum to kinda try to turn it into a knife for hordes that can still do something to armor

muted yarrow
#

Ohh finally

grave cargo
#

Is that vet set in yet

calm prairie
#

Hell no

grave cargo
#

The game I mean

calm prairie
#

We’ll be lucky if we ever see it at this point

grave cargo
#

I don't thiunk the ogryn armor is either?

calm prairie
tall torrent
tall torrent
calm prairie
#

Which is funny because they literally have the armor on the wall of the cosmetic vendor lol

grave cargo
#

That is true but also I can just kill things in 3 hits with a bully club

tall torrent
#

The zealot armor in game doesn’t have parchment iirc

calm prairie
#

And all of them are in the game files

grave cargo
#

I have a love/hate relationship with brittle and skullcrusher

#

On the one hand, cool, I'm making enemies weaker

#

On the other hand, oh wait they already die from any focused build

#

Could be useful if you specifically build into it for say a vet running a headhunter I suppose, but even then they can still kinda just kill crushers if they build right with or without you

#

Wonder if we’ll ever get a difficulty 6

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

Now it’s much more diluted because more people are getting into this game

#

Pretty sure darktide is in steam top seller page

grave cargo
#

idk why you'd swap, esp since you'd have to reload and swapping and reloading a kickback would take as long as just killing the crusher with the bully club

serene sage
#

brace yourselves for like a month or so while people git gud

south vessel
grave cargo
#

Oh you mean with shovel

#

Do you need HoF for that?

#

Or is that skullcrusher

tall torrent
grave cargo
#

There's too many of them

vital garnet
#

@wintry wadi btw what’s the setup on an axe these days?

#

wrong az real but oh well

tall torrent
vital garnet
#

Which axe?

tall torrent
#

Rashad

#

Or Antax

vital garnet
#

aight so not much changed lol

grave cargo
#

Remember when Rashad was trolling

wide dagger
#

Do I need to be in a strike team for "Make every shot count"?

tall torrent
#

Antax is safer
Rashad is more lethal

charred scarab
#

what's the Unarmoured for, specifically?

#

that's with just tree passives, right

half ginkgo
#

quick question - any perks needed to be rerolled 'fore i go farm enough plasteel to try to unlock hand cannon IV?

charred scarab
#

same setup on Zealot too?

thick charm
#

Need advice - where can I get 1 more point for 8stacks?

charred scarab
#

that explains so much, thanks

tall torrent
half ginkgo
#

its waste

tall torrent
#

And charismatic

half ginkgo
#

a total waste

Also res on shout

if you need shout to res you are fucked already

too large downdidfe

half ginkgo
#

apart from that - longed CD

thick charm
grave cargo
#

Is that true even on crits

tall torrent
half ginkgo
#

yes, but do not rely on coherency too much

grave cargo
#

So my two favorite zealot builds can use this just fine

tall torrent
#

Remember, coherency toughness regen turns OFF in melee combat

grave cargo
#

Neat

tall torrent
#

What’s AS

#

Oh ok

delicate moat
#

I have this Rashad, penetration unfortunately a bit low, but seems to be able to one shot bruisers without headtaker buff

#

bruisers are the guys with no head armor right?

grave cargo
#

Zealot is nice because he just does everything

#

He's durable fast and shreds

half ginkgo
#

you mean bruiser Azreal

grave cargo
#

Vet does get the 10% AS speed just on its own though

delicate moat
#

i can't one shot the guy with head armor unfortunately

#

maybe it's pen stat too low?

half ginkgo
#

yeah, yo just typed rager and I went wtf for a sec

quasi glade
#

What should I replace here?

grave cargo
#

Yeah he's got flak head

delicate moat
#

i think i have all three

grave cargo
delicate moat
#

maybe i needed flak instead of unyielding...

#

guy has like a tiny slither of health left

#

😅

grave cargo
#

My best axe is a tac axe II

half ginkgo
#

I really wonder if I should drop demo stockpile to grab suppression immunity here

grave cargo
#

By best I of course mean best statistically and blessing wise

#

Not best performance wise

#

And now tac axe 2 is competing for worst weapon in the game yeah

#

I used to run tac axes on my zealot

#

Probably Ogryn's power maul

#

I cannot think of a way to make that not a meme

half ginkgo
#

also zealot maul?

delicate moat
#

at least now i know what to farm for...

grave cargo
#

Zealot maul is OK

#

It's not his best weapon but it's usable

#

Depends on what you want

#

It's a good all rounder, but it won't be as focused as well, more focused weapons

#

Kinda like a thunderhammer now imo

#

Except it has an aoe stun instead of a one shot button

half ginkgo
#

btw how is hsword 7 nowadays?

charred scarab
#

what blessings should I have for the power sword?

Power cycler 4

#

That's the only thing that matters

sick marsh

I've got 3

grave cargo
#

Into the trash

sick marsh
#

and rampage 4

grave cargo
#

Nah you can make use of 3, rampage and slaughterer were ok when its normal attacks were better, now the sword is super reliant on being energized

#

Plus other weapons are better now at a baseline

#

It also still has really bad dodges and stamina

tall torrent
#

Power cycler 3 is kind of usable if you had to

grave cargo
#

You're just gonna be slamming special attack a lot

#

Because it's really not very good without being energized

#

I used to just run around with an unenergized PS and still topscore on damage lmao

#

What a stupid fucking weapon it was

#

I don't mind its nerfed state at all

twin kettle
#

Is the recon lasgun ass now? I almost never see anyone use it anymore

grave cargo
#

Not if you don't turn it on

It feels much better balanced now but yeah

from bad to meme tier depending on variant

grave cargo
#

This thing used to be snoozefest OP

Now it's something I don't feel dirty taking

sick marsh
#

this ok?

untold mulch
#

Pretty good almost perfect roll, Stability shouldn-t be an issue

sick marsh
#

perfect.

#

thx

grave cargo
#

Stability matters more on high RoF weapons

#

Yeah and when you get super pressured you cna't just start wildly flailing and still kill shit

#

Still need the space to turn it on

#

My issue with it before is even when you didn't turn it on, it was still better than most other melee weapons

Happy Gary Indiana Friday yall. What's the strongest vet build in your opinion? Right now I'd say plasma rifle spam, or infiltrate shock trouper vet with a plasma sword.

grave cargo
#

Or at least good enough that you weren't penalized for using it suboptimally

#

I'm still sorta assuming that's unintended and will get fixed

#

At least the cancel

#

But who knows, Fatshark may just forget lol

#

Oooooo

#

Huh, I guess

#

That's wack, yeah

I didn't realize that was a change introduced by the community

By crusher do you mean uh'

The Zealot's maul?

Limb splitter on ur melee weapon makes the bayonet permanently deal 60% more dmg

Make heretics rue the day they were born and dominate in damnation with this new Veteran build.

Thanks again for joining me everyone! Here is the latest Darktide veteran build for maximum heretic slaughtering. I had a lot of fun making this guide, and can't wait to share more Darktide content with you all. Comment down below any weapon type or...

Agri has best bullet to kills ratio

for a focus target build, how necessary is the 8stack node?

8 stacks if you find yourself going for bosses

#

hi t5 auric btw

#

Wanted to get a feel for it before maelstrom KEKW_ogryn

pulsar drift
#

same using plasma gun, but here is the melee focus one

#

i m still thinking that 5 crit with dodge

#

i could swap to demolition team or 10 melee dmg

stuck bridge
#

its ok but most enemies only stack it when you side dodge

pulsar drift
#

yea, i m melee focus so can trigger it often

#

but i dont know if it is worth comparing to 10 melee dmg

stuck bridge
#

unless 10% lets you hit one taps on trash then id go for it

pulsar drift
#

or twinned blast, tho i dont think it works well 20% is still kinda low unless i run demolition team with it

#

i already can

#

10 melee doesnt have a specific breakpoiont for me

#

but it would be great against monstrositis

#

same with 1 bleeding...i rly want to take it but just cant afford the point

stuck bridge
#

bleed is a meme on most set ups

pulsar drift
#

oh rly? i thought it is great

stuck bridge
#

twinned bladst only really good on frags but takes too many points imo

#

want boss damage better to invest points in krak + tinker

signal mango
stuck bridge
pulsar drift
#

twinned blast is also great for bulwaks and crushers horde

#

which are very common these days

#

but it takes too many points

stuck bridge
#

just got this

pulsar drift
#

maybe flak to maniac

#

imo

#

rip unarmoured

stuck bridge
#

need it for gunners

pulsar drift
#

oh

#

that makes sense

stuck bridge
#

still drops flamers with headshot in volley, flak also needed for no volley bombers

pulsar drift
#

since i am running this, perhaps crit chance is a better option here

grave cargo
#

What do you even want on this

#

I feel like, it already one taps flak, and unarmored, so, maniac unyielding?

pulsar drift
#

demolition team is great in maelstorm but just not anything else 😦

stuck bridge
#

maniac unyeild or maniac crit chance

#

wish demo team was in a better spot on the tree. hard enough techi9ng down just for iron will in most builds

pulsar drift
#

yea

wanton dawn
#

Alright, I modified my keybind and did some tree adjustment. Time to try again whatthefuck_heresy

pulsar drift
#

right now is hard to build a grenadier without losing key keystones

stuck bridge
#

I did up an infiltrate / krak build and it does ok boss damage, kinda memey though

pulsar drift
#

i played infiltrate for a bit

#

tbh it is not too great

#

VOC is just too good XD

stuck bridge
#

ye

pulsar drift
#

it kinda just shines over all other 2

#

1 point you can 50 touguness that pair well with iron well

stuck bridge
#

im trying to make volley builds work but feel so squishy a lot of the time

pulsar drift
#

while the other two takes a bunch modifer points to just to be playble lol

#

yea volley is kinda painful without the DR it had before

royal brook
pulsar drift
#

still missed my -75 DR days

#

just had a game with a volley bolter

#

basically my ammo refiller

#

plasma gun is just too good

#

better than revolver

#

you dont even need to reload XD

#

maybe i time a game

#

also better ammo economy as well

#

can also charge shoot boss

celest vine
pulsar drift
#

the old bolter reincarnated into plasma gun now

celest vine
#

A month later its better

astral blade
#

We vets all feel this pain

pulsar drift
#

lol exctacly, but I just discovered it recently too, I didnt know it pair so well with melee vet

celest vine
#

I took off extra ammo

pulsar drift
#

quited after that

celest vine
#

Had that happen to me

pulsar drift
#

"Stop stealing all the ammo"

celest vine
#

But the zealot was hogging ammo for his revolver

#

Just to miss the trappers

pulsar drift
#

XD

#

thats why plasma gun is better

celest vine
#

Supression immunity really do make a difference

pulsar drift
#

it has larger hit boix

celest vine
#

Miss less

pulsar drift
#

hit box

#

yup

celest vine
#

I primarily use infantry lasguns

astral blade
#

Heh I’ll literally call people out by name over coms and tell them “stop stealing ammo from those who need it asshole”

pulsar drift
#

but tbh if you are running plasma gun, supression immunity is not that important

celest vine
#

Sometimes I swap to a goofy plasma gun

pulsar drift
#

cuz as long as you shoot somewhere in his body

celest vine
#

It has like 12 heat resistance

pulsar drift
#

it will get hit

#

XD

Had an interesting bug happen today, got the Deadeye penance without even having Volley Fire equipped

but tbh if you are wasting all the ammo

celest vine
#

Psykers that dont use staff

muted knot
pulsar drift
#

oh no

astral blade
pulsar drift
#

gun pskers are so popular these days

#

idk why

#

while I know the meta is voidstrike

celest vine
#

Surge and voidstrike do so much good

#

Even purgatus does work

pulsar drift
#

but ppl keep running guns

#

idk why

celest vine
#

Purgatus is apart of this mad snowballing build with soulblaze

pulsar drift
celest vine
#

Soulblaze snowballing is so much more useful than a gun psyker

pulsar drift
#

my screen is totally blue

fresh mango
#

revolver psyker is super good

celest vine
#

You know whats even better?

pulsar drift
#

if is revolver I can understand

#

but why recon guns?

celest vine
#

Letting your plasma vet have ammo

fresh mango
#

recon? Not sure

i mean even if you are running Kantreal XII

I used recon yesterday

but why recon

umbral scaffold

Recon las gunkers are the worst ammo vacuums in my experience

terse idol

🥹

#

Oh sorry

celest vine

They prefer bolters if they’re being goofy

#

Recon the gun

celest vine
terse idol
#

Yeah it's not hot

dark flower
#

i love sniper bolter in the year 2023

terse idol
#

But folks will run it because they probably dont know better still a fun gun

frank ether
pulsar drift
#

true is fun

#

but then why not just go play vet

frank ether
#

mind you I was playing gunpsyker

#

and was starved off of ammo

warm idol
#

wait ur talking psyker

#

not vet

pulsar drift
#

yup

celest vine
terse idol
#

Yeah like it has some history on the 40k universe, even I used it until i learned how terrible it was

warm idol
#

in that case I dunno

celest vine
#

Roll with the punches

pulsar drift
#

recon gunskyers

celest vine
#

I use infantry lasguns cause they are workhorses

pulsar drift
#

totally blow my mind

warm idol
#

playing pskyer and not using psyker stuff is strange to me

celest vine
#

And are extremely good on ammo

warm idol
#

whats the point

#

its like playing a ranged zealot

umbral scaffold
#

Gunker can do insane crits but truthfully why give up the space wizard fantasy for that

pulsar drift
#

and its not rare case like ppl using crushers before

terse idol
pulsar drift
#

(crushers are good these days

terse idol
#

Zealot with flamethrower

#

Like that kinda gun zealot

#

Could slap

celest vine
#

Flamethrower zealots are Gs

warm idol
#

I dont consider flamer to be ranged

celest vine
#

It by definition is

pulsar drift
#

ah if only they didnt nerf the flammer

celest vine
pulsar drift
#

rn the flammer cant even stagger ragers

#

;D

terse idol
#

Like if you play gun zealot, you're playing close range because you get that 20% bo us damage on enemies close to you

celest vine
#

The lighting on lights out missions are perfect

warm idol
terse idol
#

So flamers, smg, shotgun

celest vine
warm idol
#

its supposed to be a suppression weapon

celest vine
#

Look at this daemonhost

#

(Ignore my boy fighting for his life)

pulsar drift
#

it is only usingful dealing with horde

#

and crushers horde

terse idol
#

That's useful 🥹

pulsar drift
#

but why not just calling your vet mat to throw his krak

#

XD

warm idol
#

also for shout builds do they work with basically every ranged weapon?

celest vine
#

Shout is vets best ability

#

Restore toughness up to a surplus

warm idol
#

ive been mostly running plasma but helbores are fun too

pulsar drift
#

yup

celest vine
#

With damage boost if going full middle tree

brisk umbra
#

What's the distance for Longshot?

warm idol
#

I dont even want to go back to old stance

pulsar drift
#

vet needs something to save you from desperate situation

warm idol
#

I can use my ability with ranged and melee

#

I can use whatever loadout I want

pulsar drift
#

in the past the volley fire with DR saves my life countless time

warm idol
#

I support my team

celest vine
#

Stealth vet is very good too

warm idol
pulsar drift
#

also 50 touguness pair well with iron well

celest vine
#

But Executioners stance needs a rework

warm idol
#

man I remember popping that shit back in the day

pulsar drift
#

I am not even gonna mention instant reload

warm idol
#

and facetanking t5 gunners

celest vine
#

Highting Ogryns should he default

terse idol
#

Exec is tough

celest vine
#

And refresh on kill too

terse idol
#

Eh

celest vine
#

Not a fucking upgrade

warm idol
pulsar drift
#

rn my zealot is running Agripinnaa exclusively

terse idol
#

Tax on refresh kill is okay, choosing ogryns or all shooters is not okay

celest vine
#

Highlightinf for team and all ranged enemies should be the only upgrade

warm idol
#

vet already had a large tree and is starving for points

terse idol
#

It should target all gunners and upgrade INTO ogryns

pulsar drift
#

i mean for melee vet is acturally okay now

drowsy sluice
#

for powersword builds, what is the other blessing besides power cycler you should run?

terse idol
#

So you can have both

pulsar drift
#

tho i do feel inflitrate is less op but its at least usable

celest vine
#

Refresh should absolutely be built in

warm idol
#

infiltrate is more niche than shout but still good imo

pulsar drift
#

but it is hardly to considered as balanced

celest vine
#

Wasnt ogryn highlight already apart of the ability for awhile?

warm idol
#

sure its not as much dmg as zealot but it has a lot more utility

pulsar drift
#

cuz you can pretty much see all three builds distribute evenly in other class

terse idol
#

Really sucks when you can only choose one or another considering there's gonna be alot more gunners and heavy gunners than stray reapers, who mind you, go down so fast

pulsar drift
#

but in vet

drowsy sluice
#

so what you are telling me, Brutal Momentum KEKW

pulsar drift
#

i swear 70% are running VOC

celest vine
#

Its too good

terse idol
#

Voc just has alot going for it

#

Got the flavour

celest vine
#

Vet doesnt have much surviability to begin with

terse idol
#

The tax for +50 toughness is kinda stank but whatever

pulsar drift
#

and it staggers everything

celest vine
#

It does

terse idol
#

It should be baseline

celest vine
#

But I mean not passive survivability

pulsar drift
terse idol
#

Why do zealot chorus give 150+ toughness

warm idol
#

a lot of stuff on vet tree should be built in tbh

terse idol
#

Without an upgrade

pulsar drift
#

but i mean they could make the revive not reducing range

celest vine
#

Its nust 100
