the game cheats in your favor and makes your push extra long specifically against bursters (and dogs)

torn root
#

is all im saying

strange sparrow
#

Because pre-emptive push = they wont detonate

crisp rapids
#

no, am saying that the gmae decided to troll me. and epxlode me at infinite range

crisp rapids

like this video

ooh yeah

No that's a bug

Also, People who dont use purgatus/smite to chain-stagger bursters is funny

eeew

frail bolt

so...... toss?

torn root
#

idk i just wanted to make fun of knives

#

sorry

frail bolt
#

ah

crude fiber
#

pretty sure you dont need any +toughness or toughness dam resistance to take a burster as long as you have VOC and full toughness (bit late on this subject) or 40-60 over toughness from zealot ult

inland orchid
#

I’d give my opinion if my mobile discord would load ur image whatthefuck_heresy

#

Damn airport wifi

torn root
#

still

#

bout to find out

crude fiber
slate sleet
torn root
#

well no toughness curio makes some damage bleed through the bar

#

so that was settled pretty easy

#

actually no

strange sparrow
#

No you don't need any because yellow Toughness somehow bypass the damage

torn root
#

it was something else

strange sparrow
#

I did a 3x Hp curios instead

torn root
#

you dont need any toughtness period

#

i think lmao

strange sparrow
#

as long you have Yellow, it just work

crude fiber
#

thats what i thought would be the case

strange sparrow
#

Went back to run +20% x3 curios with no toughness

#

Just VoC give enough Yellow to tank PoxBuster

torn root
#

yeah

#

you actually dont need any bonus toughness as long as you are at max

crude fiber
#

well i think its just the overshield toughness is coded differently, it lets you tank crusher/mauler overheads as well

torn root
#

140, no hp damage

#

might just be because of toughness resist on the tree

white minnow
#

is invulnerability turned on

crude fiber
#

good point lol

torn root
#

fair i think i reset it earlier

white minnow
#

any point of yellow toughness allows you to survive bursters

#

it's special-cased to be that way

crude fiber
#

do yall use an app to record those videos?

odd sparrow
white minnow
#

i personally use OBS

torn root
#

wait can i not revive in here?!

white minnow
#

it's only Will of the Emperor that protects against both toughness and health damage

torn root
#

how do i respawn XD

white minnow
#

if you die, you die

torn root
#

LMAO LAME!

white minnow
#

there's keybinds for healing yourself and helping yourself up though

torn root
#

NO revive option

#

assist doesnt work heal doesnt work that's funny

#

so i go back to my statement

#

with damage on

#

225 toughness is what it's looking like

#

somehow when it gets behind you it does damage tho

crude fiber
#

222 toughness with all the toughness resist nodes and still take full burster damage, 115 toughness +50 from VOC and only +5 toughness resist and im left with 0 toughness and full hp

torn root
#

total

#

only +5% reduction from the tree

#

so unless that 5% is really stopping me from taking damage idk man

lofty lintel
#

New years eve

#

What are yall doing for new years

bright charm
#

this worth picking up from melk? even worth it vs kantreal?

lofty lintel
#

Replace dmg vs specialist and hit n and run and its good to go

#

Get man stopper

#

For hit n run

torn root
lofty lintel
#

And dmg vs specialists for flak/ or maniac

#

And you can use it

odd sparrow
#

Only a few special attacks have innate bleedthrough to health dmg. Meaning that if the attack reduces toughness to 0 but still has more dmg the remaining portion will go directly to your health

Sniper, crusher overhead,mauler overhead. Im not sure if burster goes through but from the sound of you guys it appeard the answer might be no.

In general when you take rsnged hits only toughness tskes dmg, then when 0 toughness your health takes dmg.

For melee its a bit more complicated. A percentage% of thr damage always bleeds through depending on your percentage of toughness at the time of getting hit.

So say you are 100% toughness 0% bleeds through to health dmg.

At 90% toughness its 10%
At 80% toughness its 20%

And so on

torn root
#

looking for the total toughness you need for it not to hit you through

#

with Iron Will*

crisp rapids
#

i love looking at my ranged elite kills vs my team

#

21 , 7 , 123 , 29 :XD:

torn root
#

pretty sure snipers dont have bleed through either

#

im sure you can block all the damage too

#

with enough res

crude fiber
#

my b i dont know how to send it lol

crisp rapids
#

melee kills 30
ranged kills 743

tall torrent
torn root
#

ignore it

tall torrent
#

wdym

torn root
#

i had reset taking damage

#

but yeah snipers hav no innate bleed through

#

not sure where that got picked up from

bright cliff
#

even so it’s two good blessings on a shotgun. idk if they’re the best but they can’t be bad

tall torrent
#

wait so what toughness values do u need to have to tank burster and sniper (with only IW)

white minnow
# torn root

it's because yellow toughness also protects against snipers

crude fiber
torn root
#

I have IW and the +5% toughness damage res

eternal flare
#

I think its commissar build time

tall torrent
#

so 225 toughness to tank burster

#

what abt sniper

torn root
#

might be lower. he just showed 165

crude fiber
torn root
#

but that means i would have tanked it regarless without VoC?

tall torrent
#

oh ok lol

white minnow
#

it's not your maximum toughness

#

it's the yellow toughness

crude fiber
#

like i said i think the over toughness is coded special to be stupid

crisp rapids
#

yellow toughnes sis nor real

white minnow
#

it's specifically the yellow toughness that's protecting you

torn root
#

aah

#

hmm

white minnow
#

die

spice wadi
#

live

torn root
#

i really don't understand how ppl can complain about survivng on this class then

white minnow
#

but i think there might be a minimum amount of yellow toughness that you need to tank it, since I was taking damage with only 4 yellow toughness against a burster

torn root
#

1 ability ensures you live basically

#

lmao

white minnow
#

at least in the psykh

spice wadi
#

because their toughness dips slightly below the iron will thingy

shrewd matrix
#

does that over toughness have the same mechanic as regular toughness, so you get 80% dr or whatever when it breaks

spice wadi
#

and then they get sent to the moon by a bruiser

#

and it makes them sad

tall torrent
#

So outside of stamina regen and block efficiency

eternal flare
#

why is my heavy laspistol not getting the benifit from shock trooper

white minnow
crude fiber
#

yeah i think 2 pulsees from zealot ult (+40) would be enough to save you

white minnow
#

so probably

tall torrent
#

3rd optimal would be ability CD?

#

30s vs 26.4s

torn root
#

i dont care for 3.6 cdr

white minnow
#

oooh right zealot's ult pulses in intervals of 20

#

time to check that out

torn root
#

kind of a waste for 3 curio slots

tall torrent
#

I have a 20% sniper resist on my 21% health curio

#

The other two not sure which I wanna take yet

torn root
#

toughness regen too

tall torrent
#

Gunner resist is nice but I feel like I don’t need more than one

torn root
#

but i only ever run 1

tall torrent
#

Cuz diminishing returns

#

Also considering 2hp + 1 x3 stam

#

Over 1hp + 1 x3 stam + 1 toughness

crude fiber
white minnow
#

20 overtoughness is enough to survive

torn root
#

i think stamina is nice, for blocking

tall torrent
#

One x3 stam is very good already

white minnow
#

so either it's fairly generous for the flat amount you need, or it's based on the relative amount of overtoughness you have (relative to your max overtoughness)

torn root
#

i need 12 for deadshot

white minnow
#

or something

torn root
#

minimum

tall torrent
#

For deadshot I could see triple x3 stam honestly

#

But I’m not the biggest fan of deadshot

#

Only run it for laspistol & revolver

torn root
tall torrent
#

Prob gonna try to roll another HP curio

#

140 toughness is not the worst thing in the world

torn root
#

dont do it to yourself

#

get that protection XD

white minnow
#

so true, protection is important

crude fiber
tall torrent
#

My build rn is
+21% health, +3 stamina, +17% toughness
+12% block efficiency (x3)
+12% stamina regen (x3)
+20% sniper resist
+20% gunner resist
+5% toughness

strange sparrow
torn root
strange sparrow
#

But if you don't have +50 VoC, you suffer HP damage somehow

torn root
#

if i see a vet cry i know they are bad now

#

sorry

strange sparrow
#

If it's not full, you take dmg

torn root
#

that's fucking broken!

finite imp
torn root
#

this entire time i could have ego'd the crushers in my game?

#

fucking BET

white minnow
#

hmm i think it might be based on the relative amount of overtoughness you have

#

if i just had 20 max overtoughness out of 20, i could tank a burster

#

but 20 out of 100 max overtoughness made me take hp damage

crude fiber
#

its why i like to pop VOC when i see someone about to get recked by something or dont trust someone to push a burster

torn root
inland orchid
torn root
#

the KARMA!

finite imp
#

Sigh

inland orchid
#

Unless u mean another type of crying

crude fiber
#

its probably something like you need full toughness + over toughness to tank things

torn root
tall torrent
#

One of the best feeling things u can do on vet is to pop VoC immediately before a burster explodes on ur teammate and save them from all the unnecessary dmg

torn root
#

VoC is more broken than I though initially

crude fiber
#

so if you have 80 out of your 100 overshield you dont have FULL toughness

inland orchid
inland orchid
#

I’m missing out on damage since I don’t got volleyfire but I’m ok with that

torn root
#

that full toughness thing applies to all of your tougness

strange sparrow
#

The thing is Vet suffer if they dont take VoC

torn root
#

you can have 23 bonus toughness and chaff will start chipping you

strange sparrow
#

It's pretty much forceful because Exec Stance don't do enough

#

Infil is too much talent point

inland orchid
#

Don’t do enough? wtfgryn I’ve heard completely diff

torn root
#

Exec stance defenders are coping sorry

tall torrent
strange sparrow
torn root
#

5 seconds to do 25% damage and have no survivability is just begging for hard mode for no reason

strange sparrow
#

5Seconds of forceful ranged weapon

umbral scaffold
#

HELL ZEAH! Just take a LOOK on this Stats!

strange sparrow
#

Swap to melee = L

torn root

^

#

like actually

sharp ember
crude fiber
#

i love exec stance, take mark all ranged enemies and reset on marked kill and you can keep it up for minutes at a time

inland orchid
#

Valid points, I’ll consider volleyfire for a few matches but I’ll stick to my usual VoC Nader vet

strange sparrow
#

You could, if your team decided to cover you while you're in Range weapon

inland orchid
#

Thank u for ur knowledge gentlemen thumbsup_ogryn

strange sparrow
#

5 seconds is too short with the fact you can't swap weapon

strange sparrow
#

You could always refresh but if a mutant touch you or something hit you

#

it's goneee

torn root
#

im just saying after seeing that crusher clip no way am i having someone tell me its not the best of the best

inland orchid
white minnow
#

my other reason to take VoC is that nade regen is right above it

inland orchid
#

Just sayin u both made good points

strange sparrow
#

Exec Stance is great for fun tbh, see everything and headshot tap everything

#

fun

#

But it require someone to babysit you tbh

inland orchid
#

Ya had lots of fun with exe stance before they made the talents into trees instead of pick one out of 3 every 5 levels

you could probably tank more gunner shot with 171 than 147

I like using Executioner Stance to try killing ranged enemies, but yeah, I need someone watching my back so I don't get shanked, and I'm also having issues trying to get those headshots to kill quickly.

Maybe I wanna drop the x3 stamina

#

Big problem with VoC as I've seen it is that nobody actually uses it. They have it as their special ability, but I've seen Veterans shout all of twice in a match. I shout whenever there are enemies around and I have the ability, but I seem to be the rare exception.

crude fiber
#

i know its not used commonly but has anyone else got a triple revive with the VOC ability?

inland orchid
#

I snagged the “for the emperor” node so I feel more inclined to shout at hordes n such

inland orchid
strange sparrow
#

The thing about reviving is, your teammate need to be bad

#

Which is pretty rare

#

Like extremely bad

crude fiber
#

i did once and it felt pretty cool

strange sparrow
#

Look, I already been doing like 800k damage

They can't suck that bad if there's no specialist

about the damage imma be honest

#

It’s so fuckin fast

if you are doing 800k in a match someone or multiple ppl arent shooting dudes

cerulean void
#

love me maxed revive speed + leave no one behind

crude fiber
#

i always run stam regen, block efficiency and revive speed. i know theres better things but i like the safe revives

#

also use 2 +3 stams and a 21 health

cerulean void
#

people be like "ew knife and stealth" and then watch me slash at a horde a few times, kill the heavy units with bleed while I rez them, and then give them extra breathing space with a smoke nade

umbral scaffold

#

funy thing is with fast revives you can get people up before a demon host kills them but it still kills them after the run away

umbral scaffold
#

God Emperor, WTF is this?

torn root
#

I like Sustained Fire + Dumdum

umbral scaffold
#

How does Sustained Fire works?

umbral scaffold
#

only for 4 and 5 shot or what

strange sparrow
#

I can

crude fiber
#

doesnt sustained only work for the FIRST 3rd and 4th shots, not every?

strange sparrow
#

REVIVE PEOPLE?

sharp ember
cerulean void

sustained only kicks in if you stop firing

strange sparrow
inland orchid
sharp ember
#

tall torrent
cerulean void
#

IMO they need to shorten the window for both the variants of salvo augmenters

strange sparrow
#

They should set a limit to salvo

#

So every 10th shot it refresh making it workable

torn root
#

tbh

cerulean void
#

you should still totally have to pause firing, but the window is waaay to short in a realistic sense

torn root
#

i wish it were ever 4 bullets shot in succession

cerulean void
#

needs to be like 0.2s shorter

umbral scaffold
torn root
#

this gun with just the ping is dum man....

umbral scaffold
#

Such a bullshit

cerulean void
#

the only gun where opening salvo shines is, ironically, kan12 because it's already slow as f-

#

and even then it's still too long of a wait

strange sparrow
#

I want auric Mael to have mission gone wrong moment map

#

Man, imagine a randomized map

#

Just have different ending

#

(Chaos Wastes FlashBack)

torn root
#

sustained fire is really only for dealing with weaker elite's /specials

#

i think

#

at least on the columnus a good chunk die fast because of the damage

strange sparrow
#

Thing is Columnus doesn't benefit much from Sustained Fire

#

Because well... just 2 bullet having extra dmg doesn't goes that much better

cerulean void
#

only gun I've seen it work well on is a recon lasgun and we all know how those are doing rn

torn root
#

again i think the point of sustained fire is just for dealing with some specials the burst fire is really all it takes to kill specials, found my self pretty much burst firing to begin with when killing ragers, gunners, shotgunners etc.

strange sparrow
#

What is the max toughness for Curios again

strange sparrow
#

1 more 17% needed

south vessel
#

duh?! why wouldn't it be 17 exactly

torn root
south vessel
#

(why did they make all the stats go to only 80%)

slate sleet
#

columnus?

sharp ember
#

so we will finally get the full 20% toughness curios

and 100% weapon stats

south vessel

if they do that again but with this crafting system

I will call the Holy Inquisition on them

I don't watch youtubers idk your lingo

But I use graia personally

They were buffed across the board in patch 14 and have been extremely good since then

You’re forced to take +30% total ammo, so ammo tin give you 100~ ish round

i like to go VoC since it's just nice for survivability

bitter turtle
#

No

#

Ppl use voc

white minnow
#

and nade regen/field improv is above VoC

bitter turtle
#

Don't forget to take onslaught on right tre

merry glade
bitter turtle
#

So you can kill crushers

strange sparrow
#

Tbh, Yall make me feel like im not playing Auric Mael

white minnow
#

exe's stance nice but melee elite patrols can be problematic if i don't have nades up or VoC

strange sparrow
#

even on no ammo pickup match, I need to reduces usage on Columnus

torn root
#

i think the lowest ive ended a mission with is with 200 in the bag

strange sparrow
#

That's the thing, I don't spray too much in my game
The bad economy come from spraying down Waves

#

and each game, you are expected to do like 600+k damage overall

bitter turtle
#

I think ur standards are just fucked

strange sparrow
#

so I dont know

bitter turtle
#

If good ammo economy is semi auto las

#

You do pick up ammo on column but it should not be significantly more than other players usually

#

And I paired it with a knife

#

So I actually had to shoot hordes lol

#

Back in p14

#

Without ammo node

#

Also hh autoguns are good too

#

Though less good than iag

merry glade

here's what i'm rockin. any must-have talents other than +rending/+brittle-on-hit

bitter turtle
torn root
#

i think i misread it nvm

strange sparrow
#

I just feel yall not playing Columnus aggressively enough to run into ammo problem, or just been using Psword too much

bitter turtle
#

I run w/ shovel and top frag every game with iag cause it's braindead lol

torn root
strange sparrow
#

Then again, I run Columnus like how I run Hellbore, Melee isn't required

torn root
#

and i use XIIIg more than powersword

#

like there are legit times where you DONT need to shoot

bitter turtle
#

It's a flexible gun

#

Left and middle keystone best for it

torn root
#

so you legit ARE wasting ammo when you don't need to be shooting

strange sparrow
#

??

bitter turtle
#

Iag have high finesse modifier

strange sparrow
#

You don't actively rush gunners/flak and anything that hurt your team?

torn root
#

they dont take many bullets?

#

tf

#

half of them die in 3 bullets to the head lmao

bitter turtle
#

Do you run without surv?

#

I could see ammo problems if you do no surv columnus

#

I just don't know why you would

strange sparrow
#

Then again you take Crits Columnus

wet frigate
#

Veteran without surv? Herecy

torn root
#

yeah no survivalist with columnus is begging for it

strange sparrow
#

Which is another breed

#

Because not everything take 3 bullet to the head if you ain't running funny crit columnus

merry glade
#

wish they'd rework vet auras -- surv too stronk

torn root
#

skewed*

#

im legit just geared to kill specials and elites, but its not the build i use 100% of the time

long hemlock
#

Hi everyone. New player here, trying to work out how much I donkeyed my talent tree up

torn root
#

its just i find it hard to actually hit 0 on that gun idk

#

its why i gush about it so much

long hemlock
#

is there an easy way to share my mess?

strange sparrow
#

Each Tin give 106 if you took +25% total Ammo on Columnus

bitter turtle
#

This is my graia tree

#

Should be fine with columnus

#

Better even

torn root
#

long shot helps kill specials too might be that if you arent running it too

#

it does reduce the shots needed for kills

#

ignoring the deadshot mess

strange sparrow
#

Longshot only kick in 8m+

#

and the effect goes 1% onward

terse idol
#

Nobody is worthy

torn root
#

you will actively find specials at that range in hordes

#

like actually

#

usually i ping through hordes and focus them

strange sparrow
#

It's more toward reducing damage dropoff from distances

#

rather than actually reducing shots to kill thou since you be shooting from atleast 15m+ at them

#

My build revolves around just surviving because you be alone half the time trying to kill stuff before they reach team

terse idol
#

Is it really 1% per meter after 8?

strange sparrow
#

You could try it in Psykarium

terse idol
#

Pog

bitter turtle

Why krak

strange sparrow

Bulwark killing

terse idol

You're giving up half of what makes VOC good

Applying it to team

Shredder knockdown already let's you gun bulwark easily

strange sparrow

Shredder does not knockdown bulwark if you don't time it correctly

bitter turtle

Sounds like a

ebon umbra
bitter turtle

You know that word

strange sparrow

Yes and I won't be changing to Shredder

the fact that you need 3 to kill rager

instead of 2

but i almost always want shredders even then

shredders are so cute with tinkerer

just throw two and check your phone

No but wait

Why you spamming that many grenades

I would rather believe people that Shredder because that save them one point

Its the dot + stagger

That krak doesn't get

strange sparrow

Shredder only have 6m of knockback/stagger

Or I should say

Krak have 3m

Its better vs gorde

Gordes

ebon umbra

2 shredder delete horde

terse idol
#

Yeah

#

I mean 1 vs a horde

ebon umbra
#

oh

terse idol
#

Is gonna dot most of the horde

#

And stagger them

strange sparrow
#

Like people just keep saying hey Shredder is pretty good, but you could already be dealing with hordes with Psword

bitter turtle
#

Ragers don't die on the spot yes but you can spray and wipe them out with minimal effort

terse idol
#

And gonna apply dots to adds outside the horde

long hemlock
terse idol
#

Why compare grenade killing power now

strange sparrow

and Chainsword make quick work of Hordes

ebon umbra

psword is a commitment and im flaky

Sorry I'm really hostile

Shredders good

Upgraded

I like upgraded shredders

m'beloved Shreddas

strange sparrow

People keep saying Shredders good, but when I said that Shredders doesn't solve the problem in regards of stacked enemy

just toss more lmao

torn root
strange sparrow

I guess

ebon umbra
#

two tinkerer shredders and 12 gunners walk into a bar

terse idol
#

I wouldn't personally throw 2 but I see why you would

ebon umbra
#

none came out

placid portal
#

2 is the usual prescription to mixed hoardes

torn root
#

shredders just soften up the horde

strange sparrow
#

also Shredder Explosion damage fallout is just fucked tbh

placid portal
#

1 per every fallen teammate

strange sparrow
#

500->100 because 1meter differences

long hemlock
#

what's the AoE on Frags?

torn root
#

especially when there are specials and elites when you toss 2 all you have to do is care about what survives

strange sparrow
#

6 meter on knockdown 8 meter on shred

torn root
#

which probably have low health

ebon umbra
#

i throw 2 shredders usually because i take the 4th nade

#

and bcuz why work

strange sparrow
#

you need to throw 2 shredders always

ebon umbra
#

just let the nade do it

strange sparrow
#

because 1 shredders doesn't have enough bleed for mixed hordes

long hemlock
#

Thanks Nahcies. I have been using Krak for the one shot power, but a lot of times they feel wasted

strange sparrow
long hemlock
#

either the team kills the Crusher/Bulwark, or I miss my throw

ebon umbra
#

i wish kraks were more consistent with clumped elite kills

torn root
#

ngl man i think you are too focused on killing ragers with shredders

placid portal

How it feels to use Krak

  1. Throw Krak
  2. Stick onto High Value target
  3. Target instantly vaporizes
  4. Krak explodes and kills nothing

Explosion damage from Kraks drop from 500 (0m) -> 100 (1m) distances

delicate estuary

if you cant see them how can they see you 😎

strange sparrow

12 stacks of bleed does not kill a rager

You could test it out yourself

I toss it in quick succession

and 1 frags damage is really pathetic

Slightly different story with tinkerer

strange sparrow

so you need to quick throw 2-3 in quick succession

tall torrent

It’s really simple and versatile

placid portal
#

I never thought of frags as damage, basically firecrackers

tall torrent

People drop 2 frags to bleed a whole wave of enemies to death while hitting them with their weapons

I remember times when kids throw firecrackers as pranks

It's great for Mixed Hordes, and Im not against that

#

WHY IS DARKTIDE NOT LOADING??!@

strange sparrow
#

I take Kraks because it kill stuff I wouldn't have time to kill

placid portal
#

Usually at that time somebody else does it before the krak detonates

strange sparrow
#

Not in my lobby where Kraks serve greatly

#

especially scrab only

tall torrent

If nobody on the team has enough dps to melt crushers and bulwarks, kraks are fine

Bulwarks is a special kind of case

But a lot of the times the targets die before kraks go off

Ah I dunno chief

I think because now people have min maxed pguns so hard krak is like

Eh

placid portal

ngl I am tempted to pick up plasmagun again since I have a hate train vs bulwarks

terse idol
#

Like cool

#

Before we knew the tech yeah sure blowing up crushers was good

#

Now you just unload even before the krak goes off and welp

placid portal
#

krak might be worse than smoke at that scenario

#

at least smoke disables ranged attacks except snipers

strange sparrow

I dont know chief, yall take Shredder because you can't deal with hordes

terse idol

I take krak because I dont have time to deal with bulwark/Crusher

it's just that shrimple

Kill 1 bulwark with krak, 3 more take its place

white minnow

i like my shredders for ragers since they really encroach onto your space

tight depot
#

i take krak because I play bounty hunter style veteran.

white minnow
#

at least you can dodge crushers/bulwarks more easily

ivory forum
#

i personally dont care about practicality, i just like to see the fear in crushers and bulwarks eyes when they realize that krak just stuck on to them whatthefuck_heresy

placid portal
#

I like shreddas because you do the funny ring spin

strange sparrow

The only time I take Shredder is using gun that can't deal with hordes

Which mean I need to invest into doing stuff I can't

It'll block it

YOU CAN kill with 2 nades, just AIM

to kill rager in 2 grenade

it doesnt invalidate it

Well I thought it was meta cause nobody knew the meta yet hyperomegalul

also shredda has faster grenade throwing speed since you already pull the pin when you pull it out

So yes it helps

kraks are unneccesary

you have a gun to deal with it

nonstick should have longer fuse

i don't like kraks i rather bait bulwark attacks and shoot some in the head

as long it is stacked stuff that is problematic

For krak to land a double kill

Also I mean taking 1 point for shredder aint true, cause most builds do VOC and focus target
