I got one of those ye

mk 5

#

Ahhhh

#

Hahaha

terse idol
#

Rashad is tough though

#

You need to min max it

#

For it to cleave

#

Bromentum time

terse idol
#

If you dont it's gonna be painful

#

Yeah

#

Brutal momentum

#

Unarmoured

I dont have cleave

Rashad is veteran endgame

I got 78 for the stat but I used my blessings for brutal and headtaker

#

Declaw with savage sweeps and rampage not bad

craggy relic
#

since Ive heard htat's good

terse idol
#

Or dclaw with shred and rampage

#

For hordes

craggy relic
#

I prefer the antax tbh

#

feels more powerful and with brutal momentum i can ignore shit to keep goin

muted knot
#

Antax id a bit slow in my experience which is like 2 games today

craggy relic
#

what's the diff between mk 3 and mk4 PS

muted knot
#

Movesets

craggy relic
#

Im trying to get my shovel for good CC rn tho

muted knot
#

I just got into the axe game so I don't really know how to best use them

craggy relic
#

bc MK5 oneshots them at the weakspot lol

#

then with brutal momentum it goes through hit mass

serene sage
# terse idol You need to min max it

it's hard but not that hard, tbh it's really easy to hit poxwalkers and moaner breakpoints, you barely need to do anything
shooters breakpoints are also laughably easy
the reason why you need to minmax is for both scab and dreg bruiser
but most melee struggle to waveclear against them anyway, so you are no worse off even with an not godroll (but admittedly still need to be "good")

yeah graina has 0 fukcing stagger

how can i do this, but liek

no staggers

holy shit graia braced is just not that good

If you got the energy to grind for power sword you might as well spend that energy to get the true veteran endgame: a godroll Rashad axe

#

it doesnt penetrate over multiple enemies

#

what i need 3 bullets with a graia i need 1 with a agrip

serene sage
crisp rapids
#

it if at least had minimal stagger to fucking sotp a trapper about to trap me

if you want to try vet with solid melee

it owuld be a LOT better

What I run, very fun

#

Dclaw is alright

#

it need some love but it's alright

serene sage
#

yeah, not bad, not exceptional

crisp rapids
#

i think collateral might not be the dump stat

#

cause this low collateral is not letting me stagger trappers

#

which is fucking insane

serene sage
#

don't you two tap trappers?

crisp rapids
#

with a graia?

#

no

#

graia is very low dmg.

dang

#

well time to make the switch to bolter

Chainsword/Columnus V Autogun is a delightful pairing for a weapon specialist build, I'm recently finding

tall torrent
strange sparrow
#

except you get 25% more damage in unarmored

tall torrent
#

Why are u shooting poxwalkers with a slow firing marksman rifle

strange sparrow
#

Why are you not shooting poxwalkers that are slowly moving toward you

#

considering the gun take forever to pull out

tall torrent
#

The bayonet one shots them all the time?

strange sparrow
#

Slowly moving toward you

#

It's not in my bayo range

tall torrent
#

What situation are u describing here

#

Like, mercantile amphitheatre hold-out section?

hollow ibex
serene sage
ebon umbra
#

imagine zealot with the fucking hellbore

tall torrent
#

Because generally speaking you can afford to have them come closer to u so u can bayonet them

And as a specialist killer, it just

There's better gun i guess

Use the Plasma KEKW_ogryn

All roads lead back to Plasma

And revolver

Revolver, Vraks7, Plasma, IAG

crisp rapids

very nice,

tall torrent
crisp rapids
#

vraks3 is good too

#

amongus

serene sage
#

V7 cleave isn't that high though?

crisp rapids
#

and graia needs more stagger imo :XD:

serene sage
#

It shouldn't cleave through as much as Helbore can

tall torrent
#

Vraks7 struggles vs maniac

hollow ibex
strange sparrow
#

Mk2 Hellbore also need perfect roll to hit breakpoint

#

which is kinda cbt

tall torrent
#

Helbore2 u can afford to not have surgical

strange sparrow
#

compared to Hellbore Mk2

tall torrent
#

That’s fair

languid estuary
#

how's devastating strike on the devil's claw

tall torrent
#

When you eventually get into helbore, I think it’s less CBT to roll than Vraks HH

ebon umbra
#

i'd take horde clear on the claw personally

tall torrent
strange sparrow
#

Sustained to Onslaught

#

I would keep the Crit Chance but Maniac is good

modern canopy
#

so no carapace ?

tall torrent
#

Carapace is like, fine?

strange sparrow
#

Carapace is ok

tall torrent
#

Neither matters that much for HB1

strange sparrow
#

it's a mk1 anyways

#

I don't think it have anymore breakpoint

tall torrent
#

HB1 doesn’t get anything from carapace

#

It has same dmg to carapace as HB2

#

But shoots slower so you get lower dps

strange sparrow
#

Tbh I would say most HB2 dps loss happened because you don't remember the correct audio que for the fully charged when onslaught is fully stacked

covert copper
#

is this any good for a PG build

sharp ember
sharp ember
#

high stopping power is necessary to 1shot or 2shot certain specials and elites

#

on damnation anyway

strange sparrow
tall torrent
#

I don’t even have infested on my HB

tall torrent
strange sparrow
#

so it doesn't affect the result

tall torrent
#

If u took both the 5% ranged dmg nodes and still couldn’t 1 shot the poxwalkers

I’m afraid it would be that 76% dmg roll being funny

strange sparrow
#

I mean It's a shit hellbore stats to begin

#

and I can't one tap flamer with 25% maniac

terse idol
#

Personally would skip, but if that's rhe only one you got it's what ya got

#

Replace carapace with unarmoured

strange sparrow
#

It just

#

cbt

tall torrent
#

Don’t think abt that breakpoint too much

#

The only flamer 1 tap breakpoint I’d consider for HB2 is crit headshot 1 tap

#

Without crit, it takes so much investment it’s not really worth it

strange sparrow
#

like it's a specialist killing thing but

#

most of the stuff require double tap

#

which is frustrating

tall torrent
#

Bombers, trappers and snipers don’t

#

Gunners u just 1 shot to face with zero suppression consequences

strange sparrow
tall torrent
#

Reaper is 2-3 shots depending on build, usually 3

strange sparrow
#

I had dump like 600k docket on this weapon? and it's pretty bricked half the time

tall torrent
strange sparrow
#

yea

#

Also the extra 10% damage

tall torrent
#

Can u show me ur build

#

Istg if it’s that 76% dmg roll acting up

#

Because my 78% can point blank 1 tap trappers to the face

strange sparrow
tall torrent
terse idol
#

@covert copper also uh, to preface why you should take unarmoured
Gotta one shot dredge gunners in the head

tall torrent
#

Maniac should give u that breakpoint

#

I don’t recommend crit chance as a perk on HB2

terse idol
#

Also carapace isn't that important imo because you just headshot crushers and maulers anyways

tall torrent
#

Primarily because I hate relying on crits for breakpoints

terse idol
#

Which uh, does the strange thing to change their carapace to flak

#

Iirc

strange sparrow
#

A lot of Mk 2 hellbore bp is double tapping and I kinda hated it

#

so I went for crit build instead

#

Because they usually get stagger and fall back into cover

tall torrent
strange sparrow
#

Without KillZone

tall torrent
#

It’s sorta like how a plasma that gets to 1 tap everything is significantly better than a plasma that’s built for dps but can’t 1 tap

strange sparrow
#

It could one tap it with killzone

tall torrent
#

U shouldn’t need killzone

#

Maniac should be enough to get that breakpoint

#

As for poxwalkers, idk what’s going on

#

Could really just be that 76% dmg roll

#

Dreg gunners specifically require 25% unarmored or it’s very hard to do

#

Ideal is unarmored + maniac

strange sparrow
#

Yea also this make me want to kms sometime

tall torrent
#

Can help in getting that breakpoint

strange sparrow
#

Sigh

#

Shit so scuffed that it need me to just change my tree into a keystone tagging

tall torrent
#

I genuinely think it’s that 76% dmg roll acting up

#

But at the same time helbore is very good with tag keystone

strange sparrow
#

I know, I change my Tag key to Mouse Click one for hell bore

#

But I just dislike Vet's Keystone in general

tall torrent
#

I also do not recommend exe stance for helbore

#

Except maybe mk3 if you’re into CBT

strange sparrow
#

I mean Exec Stance help me see clearer

#

which mean I know what I want to hit tbh

#

VoC is just straight up better in most situation

#

But for Hellbore, I just want to be like those one shot one kill larping sharp shooter something

tall torrent
#

VoC is specifically good for HB because it gives u room for putting traitors on a kebab with your bayonet

strange sparrow
#

I didn't play Hellbore for Bayo tbh

#

It's spammy, high dps with cleeve, extra movement speed

Shredder is for people that didn't take VoC for CC

if i take shredder i dont ahve crusher killing potential

I would rather take shredder with a pgun

since i am running agrip mk8

Than double up on krak and pgun

Since it shores up your horde

Also Krak have magnetic attachment to Cara

so missing your grenade is ok

i wont be able to kill crushers

# halcyon zephyr I invite critcism, the harsher the better.
  1. I’m not sure exactly what 10% weakspot is for, bulwark 1 shot?
  2. I suggest taking stripped down over fire frenzy for the funny duck & dive interaction
  3. If you’re gonna take a braced autogun, don’t go exhilarating takedown since you can’t guarantee headshot kills
  4. I strongly suggest taking +25 toughness over exploit weakness
  5. I suggest taking at least one of the -stamina regen delay nodes
  6. I strongly suggest taking demo stockpile, tactical awareness and iron will

ebon umbra

yeah plasma gun heats too quick and you dont get much pen v carapace so no lineups even tho crushers dont really lineup. then u cant really shoot otther targets cuz u commit to crushers

tall torrent
#

In fact if you’re bringing power sword, frags would be better because it makes more room for your power-up when you’re fighting mass ragers

halcyon zephyr
# tall torrent 1. I’m not sure exactly what 10% weakspot is for, bulwark 1 shot? 2. I suggest ...
  1. It's locked in, the other was worse.
  2. I'll consider it. I like big damage, but when I swap DS off, it feels far worse with just FF.
  3. I aim for the head. Really though, I feel far more flimsy without it.
  4. Good call.
  5. Naah, my stamina is always super high. I can sprint forever and regen really fast with D&D
  6. I do miss having those, but I generally can chain my Exec Stance pretty reliably as to not miss Tactical Awareness very much. If I want to abuse the right keystone however, a sacrifice is required.

Double nade regen

its a good tool to use to know how well your gear does

tall torrent
# crisp rapids i am wondering the effectiveness of the +weakspot dmg perks

They’re not as good as u think because the game calculates +weakpoint bonus in a counterintuitive and not very good way

Say your gun does 50 dmg to body, 100 to head
Getting a +30% weakpoint bonus will do:
100 + (100-50)x30% = 115 dmg
The weakpoint bonus (and crit bonus, by extension) only applies to the “bonus damage” from hitting a weakpoint

rending strikes should probably only be taken as a last node when you have no other damage nodes to take, tbh that's the only reason I'm even using it too

also agrip mk1 doesnt seem as good as it used to

Rending Strikes is actually useless and I won't pretend as it isn't. It's so minimal damage that I would suggest Competitive Urge 100% over it.

Here's the reason why I took Rending specifically

This guy made a veteran meta breakdown but didn’t know double frag bleed stacks or focus target keystone minimum refresh to 2 stacks after killing marked target

He made some good points but a bit too emotional & ranting lol

He's more so fatigued from misinformation from what I seen, but his attitude was just non-impressed with me.

You don’t take focus target for that big damage boost on one specific target

any reccomendations on the 2 blessings i should use on plasma gun?

You take focus target to get constant +8% damage (or +15.5% with redirect fire) on EVERY enemy you tag for your whole team

which is bad

# torn root someone gets it bro!

That +8% damage because it minimum refreshes to 2 stacks means plasma or helbore gets to one tap like every fucking enemy in existence one after another

That’s how it’s meant to be used

What's the deal with Marksman?

strange sparrow
#

MarksMan Focus in Columnus allow me to play like a maniac

torn root
#

literally that tougness and stamina is so good

tall torrent
#

8 stack is the lowest value modifier because it usually only gives you +4.5% damage, and if you’re taking it without redirect fire you just don’t know what you’re doing

strange sparrow
#

Headshot -> Refresh 3 seconds of running -> more headshot

tall torrent
#

If that 8 stack modifier also changed minimum refresh to 3 stacks, instant best value node

torn root

you can take so much damage on the tree going Focus Target

Even if you are the emperor’s best head clicker and you kill 10 specialists in quick succession all in headshots, with both ET and CK, you’re still only sharing 6.75 toughness for every kill, for 67.5 toughness over 20s

You may get more team benefit giving up rending for redirect fire. As long as something tagged dies no matter the tags the max dmg bonus is topped off

# valid moss What's the Vet stuff he left out?
  • didn’t know about using 2 frags to stack bleed actually dealt a significant amount of dmg to anything that’s not a crusher
  • viewed tinkerer pretty harshly as a result
  • didn’t understand veteran breakpoints enough to know the true value behind the 10% melee dmg node
  • completely missed the mark on how focus target keystone is meant to be used
  • valued demo team lower because “it’s a grenade regen talent” when in reality most sane people take demo team on top of demo stockpile to have a constant influx of grenades to be spammed
  • missed the value of the -stamina regen delay nodes (1 gives you Zealot stamina management, 2 gives you Psyker stamina management) which can be very valuable when tanking aggro
  • maybe more, I can’t name all rn

and it competes with Iron will for me

Max dmg is 12% with 8 stacks

Like okay what you're telling me is when you kill an enemy for the subnode

#

Oh wait

#

No yeah you're right

#

Holy hell my brain

tall torrent
terse idol
#

It does refresh the highest stack regardless of how many focus target stacks you have on a target

tiny summit
#

The UI element for Focus Fire buff only appears with redirect fire and the stacks don't have independent timers. Only refresh

terse idol
#

You have stacks of the subnode on redirect (8) 12% extra damage for your team

#

Focus target tag 1 enemy with 3 stacks

#

Refresh the 8

#

Yess you're right

oh that's spicy
