i got zelot but shes just sitting there
Gimme
helbore baynet lol
No
Gave up after a second thought
Gimme spear
closes we got so far
Thinking about the pain I have to go through
No helbore, only spear
Nvm
a halbread would be cool too
No, mk3 bad 
lol
Tuskgore spear, my beloved
tbh people use MK3 for the raised foresights
thats it
cursed
Quick question
We only allow slow questions here
Too slow
I am pretty sure that it does
yes
from what ive seen
i used to run it
Okay!
I use it on my main build. Makes a lot of stuff seems smoother
but its kinda usless to me since i always bayonet charge
Cuz I am running grenadier build
Vet loves coherency after all
It's a decent talent
So I am thinking larger radius will keep ppl in coherency more often
Good with Target Down!
i am partial with out for blood, shooting for 3 percent toughness on kill is funny
The question is between one extra grenade, redirect fire, and coherency radius
On frag btw
Its been running great
But I am just thinking
Coherency if you use frag
Is 1 more nade rly that necessary?
i only use 2 krak grenades, helbore is more than enough anti carapace
1 extra nade isn't that big of a deal
Unless you play smoke
It's okay with krak, super meh with the other two
Cuz you need to troll all the way
I wonder if this weapon was actually practical? Is this rather a fanciful product?
I see
It's a boarding axe with a pistol in it, it's fine
tbh extra grenades depends if your other weapons cannot reliable kill
You shoot someone and then use the axe
Maybe I should just try it out
That said, it's kind of silly over just taking a pistol and an axe generally
It is fine if you shoot only once 
Cuz one extra nade had been comfortable
sometime I’ll get four nades from four kills
You should avoid having max shredder nades anyways
Idk is a gambling thing
If you hit your full capacity on shredders, throw one
You're wasting nade regen otherwise, and shredders are always at least mildly useful
Of course not, I am a grenedier build which throw as much as possible
The age of sail made the tomahawk popular
I should just try it out
Good sir, that is not a tomahawk
Ngl, I'll use an eviscerator
Cuz I have to reroll power swords all over again
But I fucking hate chain weapon thematiclaly
Damn
I know just saying it became popular in that time frame
XD
They're stupid, and also ugly, and don't even look functional
can can i make this BiS?
no
Nope
3 meh things
No
Grab surgical off of it
Rip infested
It could work
But not BIS
Perks are gummed up
Personally I wouldint care much about perks
surgical is BiS right? dunno any other good ones apart from onslaught
replace infested and sustained
yes
onslaught and surgical
maniac on the perk replacing infested
Surgical and Onslaught are overall accepted BIS blessings
use it until you have a better one, then grab surgical from this
yeah, so close yet so far
just not best in slot
But it could be better of hadron would let us blessings the damn thing 4 times
man pubs are really getting to me today
was about to complain it's like taking care of children except I think I am actually taking care of children
also is stability fine as a dumpstat for helbore or does it hurt?
I like the stability personally
Hellbores are pretty stable in general, even if you're getting facepunched/shot
I bought a self from a closing book store once
They were selling litterally everything
Lol
if i'm using a hellbore las gun, do I need suppression immunity talent?
I like stability on the Braced Autos a fair bit. It affects hip fire spread so it's pretty helpful there.
Not really
Hb is stupid stable
its because hellbore get suppression immunity naturally?
Just rocksteady grip
No, it is cuz it is barely a problem.
gotcha
Even with automatic fire with macro it barely moves.
oh thats nice
At all
maybe i can take the point and put it into deadshot...
I have found the one melee that can get me off of my Power Sword. The almighty shovel. The new Mk7 to be exact.
Lore wise helbores don't have an automatic function
I've said it before and I'll probably say it again
Bayonet 
I've never seen so many players have issues with spam clicking than in this game
Nah, don't need Determined on Hellbores.
I do use them on the Kantrael Infantry Lasguns though, those bounce around a fair bit under fire.
Games are 20-30m on average of high intensity fps with little clic downtime
Also, clicking has nothing to do with carpal tunnel. That's bad wrist posture putting weight on the wrong spot
So yes, it is putting strain
Until you get used to it
This game should add one of the best features from destiny 2 (I know but hear me out). It's simple. Have an accessability option that makes all guns full auto. Thats it.
Eh
Am not killing my hand for a game thats for sure. I dont give a damn about lore accuracy vs accessibility
hmm
yeah

I tired writing HB special macro, I might need to get another mouse mine doesn't have enough buttons
Isn't their already a full auto mod anyways
I am thinking of adjusting keepSwinging
I know people have talked about it
Well that's bullshit
From what i could see, those mod are linked to action rather than butto press so no work with special
Game updates too often for me to use mods
Me and my 50+ mods 
What about those on Xbox that can't get mods?
I'm not a masochist like some yall
Click fast
They get crossplay disable 
Lmao, are you actually saying installing mods for this game is masochsm
It takes like 15 minutes from start to finish
hen you run a single file when the game updates
That's it
Nope not breaking this game don't love it that much
... breaking?
I don't have any mods due to 1. laziness and 2. fear of the game becoming even more unstable than it already is
only a handful of mods generally break with each update, though that can vary
I think patch 14 broke like, 2 mods that I used
Yea see
Mhm not using mods
what's better is people check for you, the darktide modder discord lists broken mods in announcements
so no need to suffer yourself to find out
My man out here thinking his mouse doesn't break and that installing mods is maso
numericUI and custom HUD are worth the hassle alone lol
Now if we were talking Skyrim I would agree
The shit people do modding that game is insane
I know from experience
Regardless of modding. Having a full auto option in the settings harms no one and only makes the game more accessable and gives some guns some quality of life. It should be a thing.
it saves me from getting carpal tunnel when I use a laspistol
Doesn't really bother me if i exists, I wouldn't use it honestly
It's not carpel tunnel
Carpel tunny is bad arm/wrist posture
that's basically the only weapon I use it for
Clicking fast is at worst muscle strain
in any case, I would like to not have finger/hand strain
Completely different in cause and severity. Carpel tunnel is crushing a nerve in your wrist
You should never get that because it's when people are putting the wieght of their entire arm on their bent wrist all day and is completely prevetnable
alright doctor, anything else to add
Finger strain from clicking fast is solved by just doing it, you build up the muscle and it's stops being a problem :v
if you do find your wrist being sore after playing. Try putting more weight on your forearm, and keep your wrist off the desk. It's a decently big deal tbh
what's max toughness possible on curio?
17?
17% Toughness is the best I got
play it a couple games and see if you like it
a lot of ppl recommend savage
id swap unyielding perks if i were to use this mainly as horde clear
Shred is eh
Personally check it out, you already got rampage which is good, others are up to hownthey go for you
I see
Personally I would take a Cleave increase blessing over Shred
unyielding with bloodletter is good
I kinda wanna keep the unyielding
yeah it all depends on how you want to use it
i like chain sword because its a very versatile melee weapon
Yea I’ve been playing with power sword for too long
keep it like this, you still havent wasted your second change slot as it seems. play a little, if you feel like something is missing out, then you can use your 2nd change slot
After getting sunder and pc4 together finally
Imho OG chsword is better on Vet. The new one is godmode on Zealot
I think it’s about time to try something new
new chaxe fucks on weapon spec
I have all slaughter, rampage, BM, sunder with PC4 powerswords
Guess let’s call it end
Alright chaxe, chainswords
The new eviscerator is solid
mk3 shovel is also very fun and good rn on vet
I still like the base shovel tbh
For some reason I hate axes too
I feel like they’re too boring
Just left spam
: D kinda hot take
Rashad is nice, the other two are iffy. Tac axes are okay but an acquired taste
DC are good
new chain axe is fine
It’s just me don’t like them
oh rly??? i been in love with new shovel on weap spec so i havent tried that one yet. how is horde clear? thats the one thing i've been mostly worried about
I agree. Tax2 actually works well on Vet due to damage buffs easily getting you bruiser breakpoints
old one is only good on zealot imho
Good

That’s what I want to hear
i didnt think it was a problem on any gun excep patch 14 laspistol
alost made me install the mod
mk3 is like a heavy sword crossed with thunder hammer
Glad I could be informational
if i actually bothered playing the weapon
that they do. that they do
I was fine with the laspistol, but I get how that one in particular could be rough
And recommendations for blessings for both new shovel and new chainaxe?
I got massive bias on chainaxes having bloodthirsty but there’s way cooler blessings out there lol
What are the vets league starting?
can't comment on mk7 but mk3 you always want scrusher, then choice between decimator or uncanny. Carapace perk then your choice (just not Maniac, not necessary)
Chaxe you want Slaughterer and/or Headtaker. Thrust with Cara% and Ogryn talent let's you one tap Crushers.
https://loginportal99.funnyjunk.com/hdgifs/Fascinated+quirky+swinging_899b03_11137719.mp4
This is what we're starting
mk3 is ultra versatile, works on any build. chaxe I'd only use on weapon spec
God I wish it was easier to get a Kantrael shotgun to roll Flechette, damned thing being limited as a T2 Blessing makes me sad
I love my meme Kantrael Flechette + Scattershot shotgun
Silly goose, flechette is for Lawbringer :v
the burn is so bad on Kant it doesn't kill most hordes on full DOT while flechette let's it. It's such a finicky piece of shit though and LB is better while carrying more ammo
Probably works honestly
Kant was so overrated for so long ngl
Fire shells are just shoftening
I'd consider running weapon specialist and trade out scattershot tbh
I'd rather just outright kill them with LB
ik I've done it before
SRS Guardian
it's fun until you see your end of game stats
based
It's annoying as hell and honestly no one cares about the flex at the end of the day
Lawbringer with man-stopper + flechette and weapon specialist is probably interesting
I just use it to judge the builds I run
All builds are good if you don't die 
I just like having a scoreboard to look at
nah
Nope :)
if that was the case Infiltrate Vet would be best
Nope
Hell yeah one person is playing
Speedrun zealot
i use scoreboard more as a baseline for how effective i was killing stuff
its funny because
at the end of the day
it's also cool to see my ranged crit rate with the new revolver :^)
no one kills more specials and elites more than the revolver guy in the team
I have no respect for speedrun Zealots, especially since I main Zealot myself
I always hope they get caught by a hound
i gave up on vraks headhunter because that shit takes way too long to pull and to aim
be the hound, shoot a barrel when they run by one near an edge
Why play revolver when plasma do trick 
Quickdraw
@spare wolf
by the time i had my aim at the gunner, the revolver psyker already killed it
Also I'm in love with fanfire :v
This is me
I'm the revolver psyker
Skirmisher Zealots are good, the difference is that they're usually within 50 meters while speedrun Zealots don't stop at that
It didn't work! 
i be that guy too when im with revolver and the other vet threw a krak grenade at the crusher 
revolver is just absolutely nuts
cant see any other reason to run any other weapon
If there's crushers I just smite 
I be like that with rashad/old revovler and weapon specialist
At litterally any momenet any elite/special on the screen can get smoked in .2 of a second
i was running that same thing until i came with the new shovel 
I swapped to the new revolver
But since they fixed true aim and smite I decided to level a vet instead
does anyone know how the sustained fire perk actually works
Not because it's better (it's not.) but because
Now power sword is my new best friend
Fanfire based
Crushers make me less nervous than ragers even post nerf. If you have any cara damage they're a joke
PS6 is like mainlining the emporer's crack
crusher tracking on their overhead is stupid long lasting
im that power sword nerd hater guy that will always scream at you "no you cant have fun playing pswords you should try other melee weapons as well. shovel is so based" but the truth is i cant afford a pc3 or 4
Don't even need much carapace damage to handle crushers
they can do a full 360 on a zealot doding around them
just stagger them
thats the neat part
I have a lot of weapons I like a lot tbh
shredders go brr
they can stagger immune after you stagger once
But if I want to kill everything and hard carry a match, my PS6 + Laspistol build comes out
Bosses, crushers, mixed hordes, 30 gunners
Doesn't matter they dead
laspistol based. but why laspistol over revolver?
Don't need it with PS6
if they aren't dead by then then you deserve a rebar club to the face
Las pistol is better for gunners/shooters/shotgunners
PS6 kills anything in arms reach easily
what a shit ass take, you can shut up lol
Why not... Plasma
oh makes sense then why you run it instead and with power sword

bc its faster to just kill stuff in melee
Because if I have a PS6, it's in my hands for 90% of the match, and las pistol will draw and start spam hipfiring accurate to the head almost intantly.
??? chill bro go back to zealot chat with that attitude
For long range
Plasma has to charge.
unless its a ranged guy that's sitting on the other side, then he laspistol it
and plasma takes forever to shoot and reload o god
Nah, Plasma is very good
bruh look at what you just said to me, my response is pretty normal
it's just not the PS6 try hard build
PS6/Old laspistol is my golden combo
Plasma shots feel fast to me, I one shot hs all specials and most elites
Plasma has enough magazine that if you have to reload during a fight than shit is fucked
Plus it knocks down crushers
it's slower to swap to plasma to smoke gunners than it is to swap to las pistol an smoke them
if it's armored I'm going to melee it
And I have Krak specifically and only for bulwurks
Also the blowthrough allows you to shoot straight through crowds
it happens pretty often to me during auric and im mainly the only one able to handle both crushers/maulers and gunners
Again, plasma is good, and I have builds that use it
But not the tryhard PS6 build
Crushers and maulers die to ps6 easy
Extremely easy
how exactly does sustained fire work on an autogun
A crusher horde is free
I run opposite ends of the technological spectrum on my main vet build
Fire bursts
whereas my psyker is just on the spectrum
PS6 isn't my main build at this point. It's just my sweatest most effective build
A like plasma because it's really nice long range damage, no fall off, can go through light cover, high cc, and can punch through a whole horde to hit any elite or special. Plus it basically has infinite ammo and mag size to me
Weapon Specialist Build with PS6 and (Old or New?) Laspistol?
Maybe I should give that a shot.
Plasma is a prime choice for a support build imo
old
It has falloff doesn't it
Flat shield > dome shield
I disagree but flat is still good
Doesn't matter
It might
as a non psyker player, i dare to say thats a hot take
Now's about as good a time to pick it up for me then, since I main Exec Stance/MF Keystone.
Might as well see how I can make Weapon Specialist work for me.
Flat is harder to use right, but it's better
Flat Shield being able to stop Hounds/Muties and block Trapper nets makes it really useful in Damnation and above.
Yeah, and it stays up longer on average
Dome Shield is handy for Shooter squads, admittedly.
I still need all of the bits for my bayonet build, had a perfect axe pass me by because i was too poor for it
Dome isn't better because of the numbers, it's better because it mind games the team into staying together. It's both the selfless AND selfish play for all players to get in the dome
it's not catching every bullet coming in your vague direction
And you can place two
not a hot take at all
It's genius design
why do you even need dome
are gunners regularly shooting you from 360 degree
if so
then mistakes are made
I did say flat shields are harder to use, yeah :v
because sometimes shit hits the fan and the group is either scattered or surrounded mid horde
hordes dont have guns
Shield one side handle the other
so why do you need the shield to be on all sides
You don't
thoughts on this roll
Dome drags the speed zealots back to the group with the sweet sweet temptation of toughness regen and no ranged pressure 
replace sustained fire and reload speed
with what
its not like i have a psyker on my team every match and all of them have a shield you know
use until you get a better stat roll
but im saying that i prefer the dome over the wall
whats wrong with sustained fire
but most psykers that i get dont even have any of those
idc but i prefer the dome over the wall
flak and dumdum
Well you can't fuck up dome, you just put it down
Sustained fire is just not that great
how does it affect auto guns, do i have to burst the thing with it?
4 round bursts are not generally your play, and if a four round burst it's only adding an average of 10% damage
either i never realized how effective the wall is or i have never witnessed a good wall then
yes you would have to burst
with pauses
You can't tapfire it
You also really want dumdum
I just noticed this guard is different than the others in the psykanium
You say that and yet my stupidity is so astronomical that i forget that is doesn’t auto center on the caster, an accidentally throw it like 10 feet off
i'm not having really any success getting a dumdum 4
was about to say
Dome is dome, as long as it's down you're kinda fine 
i only have dumdum 3
the fuck up is giving up a free charge on your skill
not to mention stunning specials
Unless you drop dome against a squad of gunners and it drops in 2.5 seconds
Take out any active gunners and reapers asap and it'll last just fine
if you could kill the gunners and reapers that fast
then why even have anything at all
The other does that but also lasts longer
o wait it has a health bar?
yes
just kill everything xd
o frick
idr the values. But dome has a longer base duration but flat has a higher hp
It's also smaller
So when it matters flat lasts longer, and you get two charges
Also blocks specials which is >>> toughness regen
mutie trains vs wall is funny
The best part about dome is it pulls the team together in coherency, gives toughness regen, and stops chip damage from straggler shooters
It's like watching a bird fly into a glass door
the part where it brings the team together is actually absurdly true
thats something that always happens
if they don't want to stay in cohenerency, they can die :v
whenever a dome is launched, everyone reappers together
It's magical right??
ikr
This is what lowers win rates
if the main argument in favor of dome is "my teammates are dumb"
i gotta say im not very impressed
oo vet chat is here
If they can't stay in coherency the win rate was already lower shields or no
Dome smite takes like 80% of the difficulty out of the game by encouraging basic team play and removing most threat from all enemies
Besdies, flat walls can be pretty ambivalent to specific team placement when put in good spots
the toughness regen is pretty whatever compared to specialist stunning and extra charge anyway
The vast majority of players aren't that good
this is what I mean
when are you being shot at in 360 degrees
Is there any build that makes the shotguns good?
that a single wall wont cover anyway
99% of the firefights in this game are one side pew pew other side
yep
what's the build
Nothing, because shotguns are already good :v
@gusty bison u here man? note: somebody wants ur shotgun build
What ult do you like to run?
The problem is, when you can put it in a good spot, ie a choke, that's already the best possible position for your team to be in. There's no point in strengthening it because if you can't win in a choke, you can't win anything else
execution
because my rando teammates cannot and willnot deal with gunners in a timely manner
the wall is not so tiny that it can only be used in a choke
Not necessarily, but it's not big either
is this reeeally vet channel
bro I dunno
idk what to say, its big enough the majority of the time lul
It can barely kill flak
No 
Hold up I'm making one
ive almost never played with a psyker using wall and went
"wow I wish it could just be bigger"
Dome is useful for actually making some forward progress
you can have an area to move forward entirely safely in
if you are just trying to move forward
why not just use 2 walls
dome only advantage is that it protects behind
Because you still get less coverage
are psykers usually this divided
It's still less coverage yes
these arguments wont lead to anything
you also get toughness regen bonus
I love dome but dont use it, its a really nice skill to buy a little space. I run Shriek myself tho, like it w BB and Purg
I like CIRCLE REEEE
you guys act like this game is an open field map design lol
i mean, in vet chat, nobody gives a shit which gun u bring lol
again
and get shot by every gunner and sniper
"my teammates are dumbasses" being the #1 arguemnt in favor of dome so far is very not cinvincing
Dome helps the peepo players by holding the team together which is more valuable than wall 
doesn't need to convince you
they will run out and get shot to death eventually regardless anyway
no, jun, you're just upset that some people prefer dome over wall. who cares. like i said, there's not a psyker in every team and not every of them run either walls anyways. most psykers i see in auric uses an ability that i dont even know what it does
if they are bad
It still results in a higher win rate imo, and results are results
disagree. that is a great argument
maps where you have to stay near a data skull really benefit from dome
point is to have some more coverage in every area
wtf is this upset shit
can i not debate lol
same reason I don't build say like
you seem aggressive with most of your arguments
you're imagining it
laspistol and knife
unless i need to say "in my opinion" in front of every statement or something
because then I don't have carapace damage
well in MY opinion, this is #veteran-class
No one is upset here, this is a jolly place!!!
in my opinion shovels are for digging poop
might not even be an opinion lol hmm
Shovel is for burying the heretics after you kill them with it first
If my opponents have literal shit for brains does that count?
you cant hit your teammates with the shovel so no
what happens when 5 crushers run at you though
slug stagger heavy rashad
Bonk them with axe
consdiering both weapons can deal with carapace
im not sure what you mean by that
he even has frags to knock them down
oh my god u are the best
say more rashad things to me
the apgrapiina doesn't do much carapace damage
even the slug doesn't do much
Also that was my next question
why the agrapina
As long as it staggers that's all you need to get the bonk stick out
Unarmored damage one-shots the helmetless armored trash guys
With lets you use BM on them without headtaker stacks
yes yessss.
also the speed of its heavies
and what can't it stagger.
nothing
i hope weapon customization will trully be added at some point
Hence agripna
so the agrapina specifically for the slug?
is columnus V still the best of the iag?
what about more long range damage?
however if u want to use it, best u go to psyker channel
Debatable.
alright what he said then. Debatable. i retract my case
Psyker toothpick is just as strong as a powered up power sword, big funny
pretty sure it does the most dmg still at least
but its always been a tradeoff of recoil/accuracy at long ranges vs damage
well bill cosby said columnus is not the best IAG
what are the differences between the mk7 and mk3 shovel? they seem kinda similar to me
that means the graia or agri might be the best
who knows, it's a toss up now
by process of elimination
someone w a name like that may be just looking for argument
i still lean col v but hapopy to see if the other iags are good or better
he's not wrong though, you can debate it. dunno if u'll win the debate
but you CAN debate lol
but just lacks the more ranged damage
here's a more colorful build
Just run hh
Personally I'd swap to shout for this one though.
okay um
All of the hh deniers on their way to explain that landing headshots hard
I guess the question about shotguns for me would be

interesting, u didnt take the ammo reserve reload node
Pull out speed
Which IAG
what is the reasoning for that one
any braced or IAG
Mostly using special loads for anti-horde/mixed horde anyways
just use revolver 
oh shit yeah that lawbringer hits like 40 guys
i get it
And you get more cleave on crit
Shotguns are extremely fast to pull out, agripina deals more armor damage with special shot and kantrael has decent fire stacking for bosses
And crit bleeds
Wouldn't I just melee hordes?
which kantrael infantry is best for marksman shootery
the lasguns?
yea
I believe the lawbringer is special tho. that shot... hits so many units.
it's awesome
it's kinda like a taste of old duckbill saltz
The mk 12 is highest damgae
BUT
lowest overall dps
the other two have higher dps
enough to be noticable
what is best vet melee weapon rn?
buuuut then again it's still your choice
ps6
dunno about best, but ppl can list several
good shit all around
spam bayonet as your melee
only swap to push
might help
Im enjoying a Powersword/Plasma combo myself
lul
ps6/plasma?
may switch to shovel tho, just no beating the ps6 right now tho
I don't like running the last pistols or recon lasguns
I run plasma with old shovel on my support build usually
sure they work
just fancy a change
plus there's also personal skill to factor in. if u're really good with a shovel, that might be better for u lol
Doesn't like laspistol
We're enemies now
and shovel is a really good wep
but i love my ps6
laspistols and reconds are basically the same
they both just build for infernus crit
PS6 is the best overall melee hands down. But that doesn't mean it's always the correct weapon for your needs in X build
yeah but you dont need to pull it out for every schmuck running up to you right
With Plasma, you mostly want to stay save and have anti-horde
just for the big ones and hordes
PS6 does everything.
yup
when in doubt
old shovel
recons are terrible for ammo use right now, to function they (at least to me) appear to consume almost every ammo pack to keep going, almost every other ranged weapon for every class has a better resource/kill ratio
again, i dont want to funnel every player towards ps6, i'd prefer they experiment all of them
Run smoke or shredder with plasma
I agree. But if someone asks what the best is, thats the answer
hmmm do i buy this? 
The devs need to make the PS work less well against hordes
i definitely wouldnt recommend a ps to a new player, their mats are too valuable, much better option is a chainsword. almost as good
Yes.
it's true, the braindead ways make it good for beginners
I wouldn't call ps6 braindead
i know a guy who can only play devil claw lol
wht are best perks for ps6?
pls tell me
ahh thought i read way
for me, more to the point is I dont care if it is braindead, play the game however you enjoy
pardon me? ur a devil claw enthusiast?
Brutal and Cycler
trying to
excellent thanks y'all
aha try ps6, if it doesnt suit u, practice ur devil claw
Devil claw 4 is a very solid weapon
yup
Claw felt competitive when rampage was OP
emphasis at the trying
it still is
its great
Then stack weak spot damage for perk
they nerfed the claws parry vs crusher overhead didnt they?
I've tanked two bosses in melee at the same time with a claw sword before
idk about the 4, but i got a really good one with good rolls and perks, so decided to give it a try its solid for hordes, but feels awful for mixed hordes
4 is needed for heavy 1
@versed merlin seriously if u have an interest in mastering devil claw, keep at it.
You really really want that strikedown
ohh ok
there are really good players who swear by devil claw only
it turns clawsword from an okay parry meme to a great weapon
the parry feels good, but whenever i parry a rager during horde, i somehow lose half my toughness 
Part of the problem with claw vs. armor/ragers is that if you're waiting to get attacked, or they're not attacking you
your dps goes in the bin and kills are slow
heavy 1 gives access to decent single target damage, and be weaved in between parries
And you still have light spam, or light/heavy 2 mix ups for horde clear
best perks/blessings for plasma?
also, outside of hordes, they dont really feel like a option for single targets that arent ragers. could be just me, but dmg felt really lacking
u must heavy down or parry
no way around it, devil claw is built this way
Gets Hot! with Blaze Away or Gloryhunter
I never got round to getting to grips w the Claw, Ive got a Mk IV that TinyCrab recommended before they left. I must make an effort but so much to do and play with lol
this is the one i've got
tinycrab left?
the angry one
yeah, a while ago now 😦
Maniac with Elite, Unyielding, or Carapace
shame, i liked his funny content

same
gracias
no idea, just one day was gone, left server n everything
probably having fun elsewhere. that's fine
I miss Darcy too
You want one of these
shame as they were really knowlegable on all things vet too, especially DClaws
dclaw is so so good still
The big thing with parry is that you need to be aware of where the counter attack travels
Darcy got booted by mods, best not to dwell on that tho
Look up and to the right to headshot ragers for example
suguyama, do u run rightside tree
whats the difference between shred and sw?
actually
no 
Sweep is usually better unless you have a specific use for crits
No keystone vets rise up
i can't help u, im not a dclaw user; but real recognises real.
hmm maybe i can try a shotgun/dclaw weap spec
any of the top tier melee weps, u can probably solo carry ur runs ez
there's no way to not like weap spec once you try them really
My secret build I'm working on atm is claw 4 + fanfire revolver
I don't like it, feels too conditional and isn't necessary
cute
share that sometime, i'd like a new take
well the condition isn't that crazy when you kinda take a look
10 kills on melee
1 kill on range
make that secret build not so secret
I can give you want I'm using right now but it's still being tinkered with
Will give you the buffs
pls ping me if you ever finish it, will love to see it
killing 1 enemy is really not conditional
also yeah
the melee speed is the best part
yeah 1 buff is already enough
lol yeah i literally kill any ol thing and i have speedhax
I run plasma so the extra fire speed does nothing and the crit is eh, the extra melee speed is decent but by the time I take out plasma and shoot to get a kill, I could have just slashed a few more times with ps6 and cleared up even more enemies
absolutely, the atk speed is hot damn crazy
oh try it with revolver
its crazy good
I horde control just fine with ps6 without the buff so it feels unnecessary
Yeah with revolver I can see it being amazing
i think revolver and plasma can use specialist best
Like true aim on psyker
plasma takes out and shoots pretty fast
Revolver is god tier on rightside
it works well with specialist as well
reload is the slow part on plasma
which specialist also helps with
it helps negate the reload atleast
yeah
It does, but I'd rather take long shot for one point instead to get much higher base damage and hit more breakpoints
2nd place to plasma for rightside tree
I will say, I do think it might be overkill if you're using it to fish crits
Isss the goal, to one shot crushers with a left click headshot?
2 shot
im not sure what ur sacrificing to 1 shot
if it's VoC
dont sacrifice it
wait with plasma or revolver?
Ps6 already has amazing horde control and clear with the 10% you get before it, the 15% feels like overkill to me and if it's very high pressure taking out the plasma just isn't the right play sometimes
Both greats
It's a great keystone though, just not for me
Plus imo the points after the keystone are very underwhelming, possible a lukewarm take
Yup
the 1 point into the reserve ammo reload is important tho
thats about it
That’s the only modifier rly needed
i agree with that, but they can be benefitial for certain situations
that i can unbind R.
Useless on plasma for me because I only reload like 4-5 times in a game anyway
Reload during the transition door scans and that's it
but i dont run any of them tho, if i had to, id take 2 only for the extra toughness whenever you swap weapons, but that might be an overkill
@torn needle well that's the thing, ppl taking rightside tree arent too conscious about their gun.
They play vet to melee, the gun is just a way to supplement.
I take right and left 
But yeah I get that it's super convenient
That's my current setup
its just weapon specialist is very good for those of us using melee for the majority
The best keystone, the mark one, is on the crappiest line imo
I use melee for the majority and I still don't like it
the line with iron will n rending and such?
I stop at the 50% toughness damage reduction node
but u said u like the marking
I'm also trying this a bit
wait are crushers considered elite? or are they specials?
Elite
actually, what are considered elites and specials in this game?
ahh
arent they disablers?
I do but it's not worth the investment into meh nodes
elites = normal enemy movesets, usually spawn on the map from the start
or are disablers the same as specials? 
specials = spawned by the director with sound cues (except sniper which has no sound cue)
The above builds have astronimcal crit rate of fanfire revolver btw
then u go left instead? im just wondering how ur tree goes
Like actually insane
all disablers are specials
not all specials are disablers
What's the site to build a tree?
unless you count "killing you" as disabling
which I guess snipers and bombers and flamers do
its ok u dont have to show me bluggy, im just making conversation
I don't have the game open rn
ahhhhh okok thamk 
It looks like a little pincer yeah
specialists are all grouped next to each other in the pskyarium
Anyone know exactly how crucian roullet works? Is it just flat 6% crit per missing bullet or is it percent based on mag size? Cause if its 6% per missing bullets that seems very strong on some guns and weaker on others
The big thing thise boss does is frontline against mixed hordes and kill bosses very very well
You can just pick up demonhosts and throw them in the trash can
im guessing u stop at Iron Will, skip 10% rending/ogryn/monstrosity and take Precision for 30% weak spot and the 25% ammo after it?
wait so if you hit the +15 elite and +20 ogryn can you reach new breakpoints on a crusher with regular shots plasma gun?
yes
Maybe
Almost exactly what I am running (but with the rashad axe and old revolver). Been thinking about getting rid of the realod speed keystone mod and picking d&d or the stam mod instead.
My man
a legend
this guy right here, im adding u
which region are u in @topaz lance
man rashad axe is great, but i made the mistake of running it with inexorable zealot and now i cant play it on vet without all that attack speed
i find the reload speed one a little redundant since teh whole point of reserve is to NOT reload
used to be my fav weapon
but i can see the point at least
Here ya go 
EU
krak grenade 
aw dire, i cannot be with u.
I like KRAK
Question does it feel like that the professional veteran personality is the most “normal” out of all the human personalities?
I never seem to run out yeah
ah, sad!
But yeah, rough draw out of Fanfire crit chance:
If you just drew the revolver, it has 100% crit on the first shot from Weapon Specialist.
Base crit is 5%, 21% from 80 critical bonus on the gun, and 25% from deadshot.
First shot from a load if you didn't just draw it gets +10% from Opening Salvo.
Roulette is +6% per missing shot, so between 6-24% crit
You crit more often than you don't even without weapon specialist
Krak feels like the strongest nade to me, frags always felt weak
its interesting u'd choose to use fanfire on a keystone that only affects first shot
And weirdly, your lowest crit chance shot is the second round from your gun. because opening salvo gives +10%
I think it depends on your build focus. I like having more anticrusher options
Frag nade is made for hordes
krak is my least favorite vet nade
if i run krak, it's specifically for bulwurks
frags are straight up the best ever since they buffed horde density
I use Krak and double nades just in case of a crusher pack and the Omissiah smiles
For me I always run frags
double nades let's troll lol
Don't need frags when ps6 turns hordes into dopamine
the 'homing' helps
ikr, here it comes... I can feel it
Eh not everyone uses the ps6
The denser the horde the more power sword dopamine

when i use kraks, its because i have tinker and i really need some bossing done
its not for crushers
i only really ever liked krak for monstro stun
Also, having 50% Reload speed on fanfire is fun
makes them stand still for like 10 seconds
I like krak because they stumble bosses which is really cheese
but monstros are whatever nowadays
interesting enough even smoke n frag can stun
a boss i mean
Frags for horse control Chainsword for abit of everything and my col IGA for high priority targets
i do it all the time, i throw a smoke and the boss is like "oh no, i have asthma"
it stumbles
That's it the only reason I run krak on some builds
coughing.
Frags stumble monsters?
Aka specials/eiltes/monstrosities
Frag does stumble bosses
I'll have to check it out then
Seriously those does the professional vet personality seem the most “normal”??
He's like the textbook Vet type
I had a game yesterday with a smoke nade vet who knew what they were doing. Was actually impressed by the usefulness.
If they buff them a little they would be in a good spot imo.
Loose Canon is like coping by being a jerk
Cadian is...
He's Cadian
He's seen action
He's kind of a dick though. I prefer Loose Cannon.
Frag saves one point so I could technically run weapon specialist keystone 
How the professional a dick?
to be honest, we run smokes to have fun and save on tax nodes to the 10% melee/agile engagement thing. if we could run frags all the way on left side, we would.
Particularly when helping someone up, he calls them useless etc.
I run smokes to lock down gunner swarms
or u could just. shoot ur plasma, i know u would
It's like friendly banter to be fair
You can do both
ThIs WuNz FeR CaDiA
now THAT i can get behind
DAE CADIA
smoke them and shoot them. die!
Cadia vet is the best
You can also throw a smoke and go kill them in melee
"SEVAH DAH 'EAD, THE BODI DIES"
Cadian is the new elf, change my mind.
Ahhh that I mean if you got downed and you’re allies were fucking about
IF YOU CAN BREATH, YOU CAN KILL
You wouldn’t wanna die now would you
i just like the Ai chaos when u smoke them
making my teammates miss is a glorious feat
gunner zig zagging
me earlier today 'please dont brick this hadron'
hadron : bet
Man desperately tryna get his teammates to get him back on his feet
it aint looking good cowboys
Tell them to stop having a skill issue, and press the tag button for once in their lives
Pro revive strat is to under hand and nade then immediatly shout
