Hey emperor's blessings work in mysterious ways

Cough hand cannon cough

Bolter is uh, HP

#

Revolver is AP

amber cliff

If they made a lasgun it’s better in every way. But the laz bolt was blue. Would the guard reject it out of superstition

They need to buff lasguns and bolter fr

lasers cause recoil

terse idol

#

Bro don’t

marsh condor
terse idol
#

So you don't see it it'll just hit

amber cliff

Don’t start that recoil shit

marsh condor

I can’t handle it anymore

terse idol
torn root
terse idol
#

Its light

#

Its like turning in a flashlight, a very concentrated flashlight

sudden dome
#

if it didnt have recoil I would use it despite the half dps compared to bullet guns

torn root
#

recon basically has no recoil its the closest to an actual laser gun

sudden dome
#

but no

#

recon also sucks worse thant the shredder pistol

terse idol
#

Shredders... alive

#

Kinda

marsh condor
#

The Devs tried to make them recoiless, and in the end it's fuckin disgusting.

amber cliff
#

The reason they have recoil is because a high damage single target guh with the range of a sniper with no recoil would be busted I assume I dunno

terse idol
#

Its like the useful hoe-dunk redneck uncle

spring rose
marsh condor
#

I mean disgusting in a bad way

amber cliff
marsh condor
#

Not busted, just...

torn root
#

not because its a scifi genre means it needs to copy starwars

amber cliff
#

Also recoil makes the gun feel stronk

marsh condor
#

Blergh

amber cliff
#

Oomph

torn root
#

yes

marsh condor
torn root
#

i want my gun to bump while it does no damage

marsh condor
#

And considering what Orks do...

sudden dome
#

arent starwars guns plasma, like they use metal rounds they turn into the projectiles thats why they pull things out of their armor when hit

torn root
#

lasguns are just 40k universe nerfguns

#

they tickle just as much

Bruh pls

Las guns are strong

I find my Lasguns working well enough

And I specifically mean the Infantry Lasguns

Lasgun can penetrate solid concrete, big whoop now try that against a tyranid

lasguns are now weak in lore beacuse everything that couldnt fight them died a long time ago so that just leaves humans

Thats a meme

marsh condor

The lasgun is INCREDIBLE against unarmoured targwts

#

But it can melt an astartes armour if enough people hit it

sudden dome

and who the hell are they fighting thats unarmored other than humans

Space marines are smelly

Lasguns are actually fucking scary

Well yeah

marsh condor

But not their faces

Or chests

#

And look

#

It can melt armour

sharp ember
#

is there a star wars scene where a projectile gets lodged in armor?

terse idol
#

With enough shots

#

Orkz are also goofy guys

marsh condor
#

Basic Ork armour is canonically shittier than Flak armour.

terse idol
#

Yeah

#

Come on guuys

marsh condor
#

I want you all to remember that.

terse idol
#

The lasgun is alright

#

This is why guardmen

torn root
#

tresh

terse idol
#

Number in the thousands

sudden dome
#

but it could just be a different weapon

terse idol
#

Because concentrated fire

sudden dome
#

there are plenty of starwars weapons

wanton dawn
#

Isnt flak a good armor though ?

terse idol
#

Its alright

#

Orkz have flak armour at home

#

This isn't like,reflective armour

#

A lasgun will punch it

torn root
#

i wanna say tho

sudden dome
marsh condor
bitter turtle
#

Flak is efficient armor

torn root
#

isnt the carapce in this game not reflective

terse idol
#

Only like war bosses or like heavier orkz will have strong armour

bitter turtle
#

Not amazing durability but flexible and cheap

terse idol
#

Still need AP to hit it

torn root
#

canon wise isnt it legit just basic ass heavy metal?

#

wouldnt that make it not reflective?

marsh condor
#

Carapace Armour, Power Armour, Eldar Mesh Armour, etc.

terse idol
#

I mean canon wise, orkz just take a sheet of metal

wanton dawn
#

Ppl are like "CARAPACE" and am like "it looks heavy yo"

terse idol
#

Stick it on their chest

torn root
#

its just dense metal

terse idol
#

And believes it can take a few hits

#

It depends what they take

#

Orkz dont exactly... make good things

marsh condor
#

Carapace Armour consists of large, rigid plates of armaplas or ceramite molded to fit parts of the body.

bitter turtle
terse idol
#

All the good shit is reserved to the biggest ork who can kill the ork who grabbed it

marsh condor
#

Found this, so basically Carapace is made from the same bits that made Power Armour.

wanton dawn
#

I mean, flak is better logistics all together

bitter turtle
#

Ya

terse idol
amber cliff
#

Ork belief like that is pretty flanderized (if that’s how you spell it) if a ork belives a sticks gonna shoot out the stun it’s still just a stick

terse idol
#

But still if you get shot by 100 Las rounds

#

Even carapace armour is gonna struggle

marsh condor
#

Just without the actual mechanical parts that makes it "powered".

terse idol
#

This is why imperial guardsmen come in the thousands

sharp ember
#

the effectiveness of carapace armor in this game may be a little embellished

terse idol
#

It has its limits

#

Its the meme vs reality

#

Unless the ork warband is pretty strong

#

Its gonna be limited

#

We saw how scary a huge waah can be

#

The beast

wanton dawn
#

Am a simple man: i see power armor i think "i hope i have time and a degree for maintenance otherwise machine spirit help me keeping that engineering nightmare moving"

marsh condor
#

Flak Armour is basically Kevlar, Carapace is the most you can get without needing an exoskeleton, Power Armour is really a combination of thicker Carapace and an exoskeleton, etc

terse idol
#

he strapped rockets to moons and launched them at planets

sharp ember
#

then again, revolver is embellished whatthefuck_heresy

sudden dome
#

space marines are sealed in their armor right? at what point in a battle does it just give up and become a tomb instead of helping

torn root
sudden dome
#

or can they just move around with it broken just fine

wanton dawn
marsh condor
wanton dawn
#

Probably just annoying to remove alone

marsh condor
#

The black carapace is what keeps them working so well.

wanton dawn
#

Unless you are csm

sudden dome
#

they probably are made to last years without much maintenance anyway so it probably doesnt matter 99.999% of the time

marsh condor
#

Wait, what were we talking about again?

torn root
#

i thought the armour wasnt stuck on them

sudden dome
#

cant imagine sending marines down onto a planet with minimal support in powerarmor that will break down in a few weeks

torn root
#

in books there are comments on seeing their bodies out of it

sudden dome
#

I thoguht it was screwed into them

terse idol
#

Well I imagine if the armour gives up the space marine is fucked up enough to be out into a dreadnaut

sudden dome
#

and then screwed off

#

they have those videos of them entering a machine that screws it onto their bodies

If i have 32% on mobility for an mk3 shovel, is that a bad thing?

I'm sure the ad mech help or have their branch go help the astartes fix up their armour

-1 dodge i think

sudden dome
#

if yes then yes

marsh condor
#

And you won't spring as fast.

wanton dawn
#

The only difference between w40k and starwar as far as space fantasy goes is alien integration and general grimdankness

torn root
#

the lowest i think you can keep without losing oa dodge on a weapon was 42% i think

#

might be higher

shrewd acorn
#

That's upsetting, it has 80% in everything else

marsh condor
#

Oof.

wanton dawn
#

Also w40k like pointy things more

#

in starwars the emperor is the bad guy, in 40k the emperor is the bad guy you have no choice but to rally behind

In some sci-fi works, most aliens have a disdain for humanity, or sees them as very young.

the best part of starwars is all the non space magic hippies

just use slugs, it melts in their saber

I love when the best counter to sf space magic laser weaponery is a regular gun

sudden dome
#

laser shotguns can still be absorbed

terse idol

The best part of the mandalorian was when it just focused on a slice of star wars, the worst part was when it decided to get bigger

marsh condor

Though best not to use it against a Force User who does not use a lightsaber...

Also some crazy dumb choives

Which of these two shovels should I pick to upgrade? I'm not sure if first target or penetration is more important

80% first target for sure

The best part of mando was when he stayed unmasked so people would act like a Victorian women and swoon over a ankle

First target

But both are impoetant

Penetration can be mitigated with Uncanny Strike

I watched like book of boba thought it was alright but wished it focused more on boba working with the Tuscan raiders

Brutal momentum blessing is basically Deathblow

in terms of blessings

#

i think brutal momentum is the most flavorful one

like no cap

#

play good, get rewarded for playing good

marsh condor
#

Deathblow is literally the same as Bromentum, so I feel like it should get a rework

torn root
#

beats building for crit to get benefit for crit

marsh condor
#

Or at least a name change

torn root
#

brutal momentum actually gives damage

#

strictly better

amber cliff

She on my deathblow till I rework 🔥✍️🔥

torn root

its a clear choice which ppl would take between the 2

marsh condor
amber cliff
#

Ur mother

torn root
#

if that shit was on heavy sword i know ppl would call fatshark a bunch of trolls

marsh condor
#

Eg. Deathblow on Heavy Sword, Bromentum on Combat Axe

torn root
#

but yeah remove deathblow and replace it with brutal momentum

marsh condor
#

Deathblow should have a rework.

#

How about making it so that it deals extra weakspot damage against Staggered enemies?

torn root
#

I mean it Does work functionally different

#

It low key is fine as is I was just being a dick head

I know they don't share the same weapons, but they feel so redundant to me.

Nah they are pretty diff

It's pretty good

Yeah that's a big problem

tidal plank
#

wait, those are different blessings?

wanton dawn
#

I mean... do you know the difference between "damage" and "base damage" ?

#

Me neither

torn root
#

Damage is how much you do. Base Damage is just the base number 😂

wanton dawn
#

It is the same

torn root
#

Pretty bad descriptions

marsh condor
#

Damage itself is how much you'd do on average. Base damage is how much you'd do against unarmored and infected "armour" types.

wanton dawn
#

Nah nah

#

Its the same

torn root
marsh condor
#

EXACTLY

torn root
#

Base damage changing is legit just changing the damage you do lmao

It's dumb

The above is just me trying to find a rationale

WHICH IS EVEN WORSE, AAAAAAA-

No like

It's not even programmed in a different way

Tee hee

torn root
#

I think someone at FS thought they were being smart

wanton dawn
torn root
#

Ooh?

wanton dawn
#

See TDR additive and multiplicative properties

torn root
#

So then actually wouldn't base damage and damage be different?

bitter turtle
torn root
#

Assuming damage means total damage

bitter turtle
#

No because it's not even different

Its literally the same thing

#

Like they literally just added the word base to the tooltips

That's the only difference

Lmao!

To confuse 👻 minmaxers

Is 1-10% the same as 1-1(.1)?!

Is there even decimal shown in dt ?

Technically 10% is .1 lmao

Aah

So, this should be more of a Zealot's thing, but how viable is a quote-unquote "dedicated" sniper Zealot?

As in, if there are no Veteran snipers in the team.

Why did you say quote unquote and then added more quotes

#

That's my question

That'd be underwhelming. Zealot highest ranged dmg increase is tied to closeness

I was about to list a few guns I could think of as options for this

wanton dawn

Revolver probably

marsh condor

Other than the Revolver (first choice), there's also the Agripinaa shotgun and the Vraks Headhunter.

bitter turtle
#

Don't think zealot has enough long range multipliers to make v7 worth it

marsh condor
#

Yeah, and the Headhunter Autoguns that do synergize with Zealots are more mid-range

rain hatch
#

Funny one tap

marsh condor
#

So only Agripinaa Shotgun or Zarona Revolver

rain hatch
#

And will serve you well

marsh condor
#

Those are the two best guns for Sniper Zealot.

Graia Iag will probably work

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Handgun" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Revolvers deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Colt Python in America for 20,000 dollars (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my revolver.
American gunsmiths spend years working on a single revolver and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest barrels known to mankind.
Revolvers are thrice as sharp as European handguns and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything an ordinary handgun can shoot through, a revolver can shoot through better. I'm pretty sure a revolver could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering America? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Cowboys and their revolvers of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the revolvers first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Revolvers are simply the best gun that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Revolvers:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 3d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the shooting power of Revolver in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Revolver need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

Thats right

katana refers to a bunch a weapons

bitter turtle
#

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

okay, i'll keep an eye out for them...

there is uncanny strike, Skullcrusher, Limbsplitter, All or nothing

uncanny technically increases stagger

because of rending

It also increases your ability to pierce through armour like Carapace.

no uncanny though, but Haymaker

Combine it with Precision Strikes, and the knife becomes quite good at slitting through throats.

just try slaughter and if you don't like it then get rampage, i think it might be better on PSword

if you use the power a lot against hordes slaughterer is just as easy as rampage

at the end of the day my comment still stands

Super Charger or Brutal Momentum will 2 shot Crushers

if you want to do follow up shots to kill maulers or crushers or multiple anything you still want surgical

celest egret

dont want supercharger lol I am fine with just doing 2 charged heavys and a light to finish them

junior needle
#

You want cycler 4 and either sunder or brutal, both are great but for different reasons

celest egret

powercycler+slaughterer will do just fine for me if theres no huge difference

unfortunately only rolled 3 for cycler so I have to go farm for it

junior needle
#

There's a very big difference between rampage/slaught and brutal

torn root
junior needle
#

Brutal lets you get first target damage on multiple targets if you keep killing. In practice that means at least double the amount of dead bruisers per swing.

just have to aim with brutal

but it changes each swing from 4 kills to like 10ish

depending on your roll

I haven't seen a break point for the mxii or Ia that's 40 damage off yet (haven't tested it but that's so small)

Also yeah definetly wouldn't go carapace

Probably flak maniac

Also because the damage difference is so small Ia wins because it just has the higher fire rate

Stopping power changes your BPs math, and builds can be wildly different and then peoples weapons can have different damage based on two stats that range from 70 to 80
