Once you get the hang of weapons specialist tho

The keystones are all fantastic.

Ya’ll be lost.

I like the keystone and even I disagree

astral blade

#

huhh?? i love the keystones tho

#

they are so good

#

or im bad idk

#

whats so bad about them?

flint lake
#

They’re just trolling

#

Nobody could be this thicc

yeah u right

I was literally

sliding into the elevator

cant make this up lmao

dark rampart
#

this thang any good just bought it and changed some items was it worth

frank ether
#

marksman kinda doodoo

#

the thing is

#

you can have a no keystone build a lot of the times

dark rampart
#

i like it on braced auto

frank ether
#

which may outperform the keystone

flint lake
quick moth
#

I do think the vet keystones are kinda whatev, but focus fire is all that shit for just tagging something you're gonna kill anyway and the damn outline already helps with headshots.

atomic zephyr
#

hit by mutie
two poxbursters spawn and instantly full kill me while mutie holds me

astral blade
#

listen up the 3 keystones have 3 flaws to them 1 markmen's focus requires you to stand still in order for it to function properly 2 focused fire is tied to the pinging system there for making it both good and bad because 1 yes you can burn down a high priority target down fast down side is if there no high priority target around ya pretty much just got a waste of stack of 5 or 8 stacks of focus fire literally sitting there waiting to be used and 3 weapon specialist the constant swapping of weapons which means going through an animation which can waste precious time which you can be doing DAMAGE instead

finite imp
#

I wish they'd make a level where you're running between trenched in a no mans land ground war

flint lake
#

If you can score consistent headshots, M’sF turns vet into a god.

frank ether
#

yeah because this is a rail shooter

finite imp
#

Lelelele

flint lake
#

The las recon, Colum IAG, and revolver are just broke as fuck with the finesse bonuses from M’sF.

finite imp
#

Bro I hardly even glanced at that paragraph

#

Sheehs

frank ether
#

''recon las is broke''

#

ok lmao

#

this is what we're working with

dark rampart
#

i like weapon specialist keystone tbh only one i've used

finite imp
frank ether
#

bruh there is a boss one clip build for agri revolver

#

and it doesnt even involve marksman focus

#

because marksman focus sucks

astral blade
#

and i've made my point because allot of y'all seem to think that the keystones are good yes given to a certain degree i'll agree with you guys but this the but those the other classes have some keystone that is tied to there ability

frank ether
#

it doesn't give more damage than focus mark does

flint lake
frank ether
#

wow it sucks like %10 less

#

good job

#

still killing muties 4x slower than my iag

#

which is on a melee build

#

I dont even sacrifice shit for dps

astral blade
#

we vets don't have that so just use ya brain for a minute and think before coming up with some stupid reason

quick moth
#

Yeah focus mark is also buffed by voice and for the emperor (extra 10% damage). Weapon specialist will get you the most hypothetical damage, but focus is the most consistent.

dark rampart
#

wtf are unyeilding enemies

flint lake
#

There are better options but I’m talking about M’sF’s effect on ranged finesse weapons. Not the quality of the weapons themselves.

dark rampart
frank ether
#

Its literally worse than the mark keystone

#

what was the total damage you got out of focus mark? like %30+ something on your marked target?

quick moth
frank ether
#

MF is not competing with that

#

focus mark doesnt need you to play mental gymnastics

#

and it works with ANYTHING

#

melee

quick moth
#

Weapon specialist CAN beat it, but again that's bugged so I expect this to change.

frank ether
#

ranged

#

grenade

#

its pure damage

astral blade
#

so dandy if you think i dont know what the actual fuck i'm talking about than mate all i gotta say is you are a fucking idiot

frank ether
#

for your entire fucking team

#

all you have to do is ping the mf you want dead

#

its great

#

you even get stamina and toughness for your entire team for killing it

flint lake
#

You’re assigned a lot of opinions to me I feel.

finite imp
astral blade
frank ether
#

what does marksman focus get? Oh yeah %10 rending if you have 10 stacks. Guess which keystone has a flat %10 AT ALL TIMES for BOTH WEAPONS

flint lake
#

I said all the keystones are good.

#

I didn’t give my opinion which is best.

frank ether
#

there are like, two weapons where I use mf

dark rampart

i hate my self and love pain so im going to do it with randoms and see what happens

queen fox
#

everytime i join a lobby with randos they all want to do hard mode

dark rampart
#

cuz hard mode is good mode

queen fox
#

and they all die fast

#

(i die first tho lmao)

flint lake
#

Bring chain weapons and a plasma and voice of command and field improvisation if you got a point you can spare.

#

The free nades and corruption clear are good for the fight

dark rampart
#

ugh i hate plasma gun so much tbh

flint lake
#

Bolter works to. Just anything to deal quickly with ragers and mauler packs.

dark rampart
#

braced autogun

#

so good on ragers

#

best gun

just saying i also made the flaws in the keystones pretty clear

Focus Fire is a must on the Karnak fight

#

Doesnt mean shocktrooper is bad

#

Or u dont use plasma with deadshot. Etc.

mystic belfry
#

I’m built different, going to run weapon swap with bolt gun

placid portal
#

If only weapon specialist also buffs swap speed too

#

or heck agile engagement also triggers fast swap

zealous wyvern

is there a way to get weapon specialist and executioner stance?

placid portal

you could

drawing the bolter is instant

but you'd be on very heavy taxing

Always be on melee

you should never pull out your rifle because you should be holding it already

I'll stick with my 1a for now, I guess lol

or use Exe stance for quick swap

that's pretty much it

A real knife

#

Lucius MK3 can 2 tap crushers

#

I think you could push it to 1 shot but forgor how

tall torrent
#

Helbore’s biggest advantage over infantry lasguns imo is their versatility

#

U can actually take a helbore to mostly any fight and be prepared

indigo canyon
#

of the 3, which is the preferred variant?

placid portal
#

I thought it was the fact it is super stable

#

Mk3 is my cake, but mk1 and 2 is more easy to use when shooting

#

Helbore has really stable aim

#

even under suppression

alpine pebble
#

MAN abter beating those clones noe even auric feels easy

tall torrent
# indigo canyon of the 3, which is the preferred variant?

Mk1 is the balanced option
Mk2 has lower dmg (worse breakpoints) but shoots faster and uses less ammo per shot
Mk3 does big damage but has very slow charge speed (firerate) and drains ammo very quickly, it also has a horrible bayonet moveset which is basically unusable

zealous wyvern
#

mk1 mk2 have VERY GOOD MELEE

placid portal
#

^^^

#

Mk3 is kinda mixed bag

zealous wyvern
#

mk3 is a delete button sniper if built right

placid portal
#

If you really hate maulers and crushers MK3 is the weapon

zealous wyvern
#

or an almost delete button if you do not

tall torrent
#

Mk3 is like the big damage upgrade to infantry lasguns in terms of application

leaden canopy
#

i guess it depends on what you want it to do

tall torrent
#

Because the melee is unusable

paper brook
#

How do you activate hard mode for the special assignment mission?

placid portal
#

I think MK3 is probs the one lasgun you can hit headshots and do more damage than bodyshot

tall torrent
#

Unlike mk1 and mk2 where it’s basically a gun on a spear

leaden canopy
#

ah the olde russian and japanese war tactic

zealous wyvern
#

mk12 bayonets stagger ragers, maulers and others with one thrust

placid portal
leaden canopy
#

we need a long rifle so when you add the bayonet it becomes a spear

indigo canyon
#

its just that I can't see myself charging that thing in damnation+ constantly 😅

placid portal
#

Lucius Mk3 is probs the longest gun in the game for human characters

leaden canopy
#

yeah makes sense considering that its based on a ww1 rifle

placid portal
#

Oh yea, While holding melee for Mk1 and 2 you can sprint faster

azure marsh
#

I need to block better

placid portal
#

So more stamina management

leaden canopy
#

dont run too much man

placid portal
#

or slap 3x +3 stamina curios

leaden canopy
#

keep enough stamina to do a push block

I now have perfectly optimized builds for them and can proceed to spend 700k dockets to brick a Rashad

fleet thicket
#

guys

#

i found something suprising

#

really really suprising

#

so when they reworked aggrpina HH

#

they turned it into like a mid range version of the HHs

#

it got faster fire rate than

#

vrak 3

tall torrent
fleet thicket
#

TTK?

tall torrent
#

Time to kill

#

It has worse breakpoints and worse time to kill against most enemies

fleet thicket
#

ahh not actually

#

they buffed it

#

by alto

tall torrent
#

They did buff it but it’s still an awkward middle child

#

The best dps headhunter is still vraks3

fleet thicket
#

well just saying

#

highest fire rate one is currently

#

aggrpina

tall torrent
#

Agripinaa9 is usable
But vraks3 is better in most situations

#

It benefits from headhunter better, has lower recoil, and higher dps

fleet thicket
#

it

#

benefits alto from

#

deadly accrurate

#

though

#

it got really good damage honestly

#

i would argue in the mid range

#

cuz of its fire rate

#

it can kill more targets

#

but vrak 3 beats it in long range

#

cuz of its zoom...

Hey, u guys like the old laspistol? I rolled a 378 with only low mobility. What build would you run with it? Which melee weapon suits best?

wanton dawn
#

A crap, i left a name on it

#

Oh well, psyker was fine

delicate moat
#

am i dumb or does previewing some of the premium cosmetics crash anyone else

tropic imp
#

Definitely viable, works good with basic focus fire build

#

But works amazingly with weapon specialist

#

The guaranteed crit you get after a melee kill gives you a 2 shot crit string when swapping into it, which kills any trapper/bomber/flamer instantly

topaz salmon
#

that sounds really cool, does a fast melee weapon makes sense? What are good perks and blessings for the autopistol?

fleet thicket
#

actually

#

guys

#

aggrpina HH is the middle ground bttween the IAGs and HHs

tall torrent
#

Vraks autoguns have this stupidly high zoom that’s very awkward for close range

tropic imp
#

All 3 have great horde clear and give an answer to crushers which the laspistol struggles against

#

I like dumdum and infernus, but raking fire is also good instead of infernus

fleet thicket
#

im gonna say this devil claw 7

#

is the one iwth most

#

intresting moveset

#

takes alot ot get use to

#

but goddam its fine

#

fun i mean

trail knot
#

are the new shovels any better than the OG shovel?

rich flicker
gusty bison
#

New shovel is a bit like a thunderhammer

indigo canyon
#

vraks 7 feels like an autogun version of the 1a lasgun

gusty bison
#

Old shovel is stagger city

rich flicker
#

A thunderhammer that holds it's charge indefinitely.

indigo canyon
#

nah it fires faster than it

gusty bison
#

It doesnt like shooting as fast as the 1a

rich flicker
#

At least til you hit something/swap off shovel.

gusty bison
#

Cos u get more dps from surgical than spamfire

trail knot
#

can the new shovel one shot crusher?

gusty bison
trail knot
#

oh nice

#

basically the same thing as ogryn shovel then

gusty bison
#

Vraks 7 has absurd finesse and relies on deadly accuratr

#

To the point where ur better off with 1 crit headshot than 2.5 normal headshots

#

Or 8 body shots

#

Its hilariously ludicrous

#

I get like 300 damage on a rager bodyshot

#

And 2.4k on a head

frank ether
#

deadly accurate is kinda nuts

#

only thing holding vraks back is marksman keystone being rather mid overall

#

it potentially has some good rending and toughness regen for you but potential is a big keyword there

#

speaking of which flat rending just beats onslaught for vraks guns

near sable
#

it's interestingly more useful on full automatic weaponry

#

as you can use one of your possibly 50 bullets to kill a single dude and carry your ten stacks

woven coral
#

which blessings to go with the new vet shovel please?

near sable
#

although the start stop babying of stacks reminds me of 1.0 psyker

woven coral
#

I'm guessing decimator and what else?

frank ether
#

I mean stacking it is not the only problem

near sable
#

where they just vaporized from 6 bb stacks to 0 after three seconds

frank ether
#

the rending you get from marksman focus is only active with 10 stacks, hella inconsistent for slower guns

near sable
#

unsure about deci, have both on my old shovel. max stacks ws mutie hits for 1300 on heavy

woven coral
#

thanks

Because if you have the serrated blade talent, the jab adds a bleed stack and the Mercy Killer blessing adds +60% weak spot damage on enemies with bleed stacks

jade notch
#

You gotta point with not being able to get the most out of Thrust.

untold hull
#

You have to hold thrust for literally 2 seconds to get max stacks I think

#

it's odd

jade notch
#

Yeah, that's waaaaaay too long a commitment

versed merlin
#

what weapons and abilities cooks up with marksman focus?

#

its the only keystone that i still didnt get a feeling into and hadnt played anything cool with so far

jade notch
#

Rapid-firing guns proc Marksman Focus the easiest, so I think the Infantry Autoguns get a lot of mileage out of them?

I like running it with my Kantrael MG Ia

#

Been off the game for a few days

versed merlin

what stats are dumpable in kantrael?

#

jade notch
#

Mobility, at least for me.

dense notch
#

Does thrust stacking speed scale woth attack speed or finesse speed bonuses?

lofty lintel
#

I run inf lasgun with focus target

versed merlin
#

if only i could dump stability sadrodeo

#

aahh for this one im looking specifically for a weapon to run with marksman focus

#

so i can make use of that keystone

jade notch
lofty lintel
#

Oh yeah marksman focus i feel like is def better for infantry lasgun

#

I just also rely on my melee a lot and focus target dmg boosts are for both weapons

waxen abyss
#

Imagine if stability meant how stable your lasgun is before exploding (hadron bricked it)

lofty lintel
#

So it works

#

And its consistent dmg

#

Marksman focus i recommend m1a and mk12 infantry lasgun

#

Rn m1a has more dps

versed merlin
#

what are the differences?

lofty lintel
#

You can also use any IAG or my personal favorite helbore lasguns

versed merlin
#

i cant get into helbore sadrodeo

lofty lintel
#

M1a does 200 more dps than mk12

versed merlin
#

is that because of rate of fire?

lofty lintel
#

Yes

versed merlin
#

then im pretty sure one is going to get buffed or the other nerfed

jade notch
# versed merlin what are the differences?

Damage per Shot vs RoF, generally

12 is the slowest, most damaging shot
4 is the inverse
MG Ia is the middle

Except the MG Ia is almost the same per-shot damage as the 12 while having vastly faster RoF, which is why it's preferred as Mateo said

lofty lintel
#

The damage per shot * rate of fire is more than mk12's

versed merlin
#

hmm but still if i can build marksman focus faster, then that means higher dps anyway

lofty lintel
#

My kantrael mk12

#

Shots fired per second is 2.5

#

M1a fires 3.64 shots per second

#

Max dmg being 262.50

versed merlin
#

oof

lofty lintel
#

Yep

#

I mean the mk12 is still solid

#

But m1a outclasses it

versed merlin
#

by a pretty considerable margin even

lofty lintel
#

If you get a good mk12 roll before u get a m1a use it tho

#

It dont matter

lofty lintel
versed merlin
#

what blessings should i be looking for a 1a?

#

and does it changes between 1a and 12?

jade notch
#

Headhunter and Deadly Accurate

#

And no

lofty lintel
#

Headhunter and deadly accurate yeah

versed merlin
#

awww\

midnight mortar
versed merlin
#

hardron had to brick it

lofty lintel
#

Thats true

jade notch
#

If you have to between Perks or Blessings for the Kant Lasguns, choose Blessings

lofty lintel
#

Yeah always

midnight mortar
#

Often with the Inf lasguns what matters most is TTK over raw dps.

thick kestrel
#

yeah the trick between the MG12 and the 1a is that the 12 is trading overall dps for up front alpha. there are target specific situations where it wins out by only needing a single shot vs 2.

midnight mortar
#

Since you have high volumes of targets you need to kill quickly.

thick kestrel
#

but that swings the other way against beefier targets

lofty lintel
#

Makes sense

midnight mortar
#

But in the end with the changes, they're all roughly on par in performance for viable weapons.

#

I still prefer the 12 if I have to pick one variant.

#

Easier to line up headshots than with the Ia.

#

Especially at range.

#

The recoil becomes noticeable with the faster fire rate lasrifles.

lofty lintel
#

Oh definitely

versed merlin
#

hmm can i still go with this one?

#

(thats mk12)

lofty lintel
#

Ou

#

Thats a bit too low but its useable

versed merlin
lofty lintel
#

Stopping power is your dmg modifier against armoured enemies

midnight mortar
#

That stopping power really hurts.

lofty lintel
#

I would say 2nd most important stat

#

Yeah

#

I was typing in holy shit thats an amazing roll and stopped when i saw the 55 stopping power

versed merlin
#

hahaha thats my life in a nutshell

lofty lintel
#

But hey

#

You have t3 headhunter there

#

So you can get that blessing and have it ready for ur next one

#

2 dmg blessings if you are greedy

toxic leaf
#

dumdum/anything, combine the ranged immunity with the left side thing at the bottom, i forget what its called

#

dodging gives stamina

#

duck n dive

#

yea bsaically, i would actualyl change your perks at that point

#

crit chance is so giga on columnus and then a damage perk

#

columnus crits and weakpoint hits are nasty, you can do like 2000dps to a mauler easy

woeful junco
#

you just get near-zero diamantine

#

in damnation you earn about 3:1 plasteel to diamantine ratio, but you use about 4:1 ratio while consecrating

#

so people accrue more diamantine than they can spend over time

Decided to switch to a plasma gun + shout Vet for HM Twins. This is the first Plasma gun I ever crafted. Anything I should change? Thinking of changing flak to carapace

Oh for twins? Dont use a plasma

gusty bison
#

Elites then you want maniac if gunners are not a concern

woeful junco
#

plasma vet can take care of that, leaving the rest of the team free to beat on the twins

I think that fight spawns scab ragers, not dreg ragers

but dont quote me on that

It needs it for flamer

woeful junco
#

that's pretty good too then, but that fight spawns less flamers than stg

#

it's mostly elites

jade notch
#

Mostly Scab Mobs (Shooters and Melee both), Scab Ragers, Crushers and Maulers, yeah

gusty bison
#

The crusher bp barelt changes

With cara

viral lion
woeful junco
#

getting yoinked by trappers in the gas phase can be death sentence though

gusty bison
#

I think cara on plasma is not good

woeful junco
gusty bison
#

Also take gloryhunter instead of gets hot

woeful junco
#

this shit is so demanding that solo ttk is not the only relevant factor. if you make it easier for a teammate to finish off a crusher beacuse you did 25% more dmg with your two uncharged shots, then that's still worth

gusty bison
#

Kinda? I dunno if it helps ttk nowadays ngl

slate sleet
#

the bossfight?

#

its pretty easy if 4 people are contributing

gusty bison
#

Not when so much shit 1 or 2 shots crushers

woeful junco
#

keeping the arena clean of big melee elites is probably the single most important thing you can do for pubbing the twins fight. premades can optimize into other roles (a void shield shredder like a gunlugger ogryn with a stubber is reeeaaaally useful) but yeah
