And I will be honest, Exec Stances right now with Marksman focus are exceptionally weak
Oh you run infil?
There's no reason to run infil because you shouldn't put yourself in bad positions to begin with
MF damage doesn’t break that well except you’re using Headhunter
VOC overcharges everyones toughness and also hard stops every enemy charging into the group and stuns them all
I appreciate you uniting with me in the VOC trolling bandwagon 
Marksman focus is incredibly mid
so a pack of dogs is nothing
Because it’s finesse modifier
pack of mutants is useless
Yes and?
Its one of the most OP talents for vet rn

Like I think its pretty widely agreed
My b i thought we were comparing it to exe
Exec Stance does a very bad job as ability because it give a lot of damage that Veteran doesn’t really need with all these damage perks/talent it have
Exec stance is fine on autogun
Also No melee mode
No problem its just annoying when I'm like
Okay I can beat auric damn with a lasgun, exe stance, and marksmens focus but oh no it's bad

It can't be
Small correction just most
It can't beat
the most useful thing about exe is if your group gives a shit they can see the tagged enemies for a couple seconds
The best talent in the game
Tbh, you could play no talent and still win
i mean anyone can beat anything with the right team lol
Woah, damn off to the garbage
That doesnt matter
In this convoo
true
i havent lost a game in over 14 missions.
Also MF need to be reworked
yeah it should
I mean I'm just not dillusional to use flipping recon
MF is okay
Yet still no "no down in 15 games" achievements. Scrub !
commissars HATE him but hes perfect ork fighting physique
Could be cool if the toughness regen on WP kill is higher
Bur people over think the
CANT MOVE
I done the math with it, it only really good with extremely high fitness weapon rn
Too much
MF just needs slightly more bonuses
Also >40% Crit chances
The mechanic is fine
Exe stance is fine as is atm. VOC just needs a point tax with exclusivity. You either get over toughness or stagger not both
exec is trash. it needs some sort of revcovery to match the other 2
Oh mechanics wise is alright
I'd like some crit bonus on it idk
my team lets me down.
Per stack
cant do it all alone.
That'd be cool
Maybe make it weaker for automatics if that makes crit strings too good
somethign beyond wasting perks for damage that you could get easier elsewhere? yeah
I don't think you can get it easier elsewhere necessarily
that shit was quickplay
You have to grab a lot of non dmg boosting perks to get down to focus target
I’m just saying the finesse damage buff is needed tbh
Or it become a raw damage buff
And if your goal is to hit a BP on non-ogryns the mid tree just doesn't really help
marksman's focus is good because it's free damage that buffs your damage when spraying columnus into poxwalkers
the absolute cope of content creators on youtube is a black hole, holy shit
Until you hit focus
WHY ARE YOU SPRAYING COLUMNUS INTO POXWALKERS
you have to grab kill zone or opening to get to exec lol
I got mine on auric damnation hunting grounds
I mean I just run MF with lasgun because larp reasons 
I do that tho
Colum knife loadout
Lol
Not like you run out of ammo
The damage of MF is ridiculously low right now until you get Vraks and Laspistol
did i say quickplay i meant auric dam maelstrom
I mean columnus into pox walkers isn't bad
"huh how'd I get some penances and cosmetics?"
"Oh. I never got hit"
The ammo efficiency is good
amd miss out on field improv and/or stock pile which you probably already spec over to get anyway
And per bullet you make some value back
And you need Crit rate to make it worth while
Also colum has pretty high finesse modifiers so it's actually one of the better users of MF
my gripe with spray columnus into poxwalkers is that now you have to reload your columnus
Because FT give better base damage which translate to weak spot
proceed to die to shocktrooper wave
Vice versa
I swear to god you already spend the whole game reloading the columnus as is
Then don't spray guns into trash you can kill with melee?
idk man
Gonna say the funny thing
If youre dying because you needed to reload the colmubus
then that circles around to the argument of "perk is good because spray into hordes"
HmmMMMMMmmm
focus target and the perks that lead up to it AND voice of command are often perks you spec over to anyway or want to
Unironically a skill issue
also it's not just you
it's teammates
can't kill muties
can't kill bombers before they pull the pin
can't kill flamers
Well
because you decided to meme and spray columnus into horde
Wait roll it back
to me focus target is no brainer
So if you shoot a columnus into hordes
and suddenly the fight is 20 times more awkward and stressful than it needed to be
cuz 20 percent damange
You cant kill a mutant because of a reload
for literally everyone
Tbe reload on a columnus is fast
Fuck 'em if they want to win they gotta work for it
You can honestly magdump a mutant and reload and kill another 3
yee idk what kinda columnus you had but that fucker is rapid
Because the columnbus is insane
because shocktrooper waves ARE limited and you can onemag them
except if your magazine is already fucking empty
okay now the whole floor is on fire
You're acting like the gun has plasma reload times and also that specialist or elite hordes don't make themselves fairly obvious on incoming
Because we're talking about one of the most powerful guns in the game
columnus is like 2 seconds isn't it?
1.0 seconds matters when bombers run out of doors and shit
Because if your melee isn't very good ar horde clearing e.g. knife
that's the difference between PING and a huge fire puddle
Guess what makes a lot of space
Urgh this is gonna sound like crap but
Shooting horde
and just a dead bomber who accomlpished nothing
Your run is doomed if you lost on 1 second
With your op gun
I know this is hard to understand but the danger of hordes is choking the amount of space you have to move
Me using the bomber fire to get martyrdom stacks
This is the same argument I had with someone who liked using ability regen curio
For 3 second cool down on voc
this has the same brainlet energy as "tap firing is okay on the gorgonum for killing snipers because you can kill them eventually just dodge bro"
That is precisely why bombers and flamers can be dangerous in the first tplace
So yes I would want to clear the horde out lol
see the argument there is that if you couldn't dig yourself out with one (1) good VOC usage you probably wouldn't be saved by a second anyway
same as y'know
columnus magazines
Well second this is why I defend the lasgun because tap firing long range with a columnus sucks
I mean
revolver better
Uh
idk
Debatable
you have like
I play constantly sprinting knife zealot for those second to second no mistake gameplay.
a sword right?
Pgun, columnus and revolver are standing as one of the best weapons in the game
i don't get it
I unironically wonder what the alternative anyway is, would you rather play with a dude who flails his arm around with a bleed knife at the horde going "I'm helping" instead of the dude actually making space by mowing them down 🤔
Then clearly the run wasn't gonna end in a second 
Sorry I'm cheeky and tired
Oh but what if he has to RELOAD
columnus is good but spraying into hordes is a luxury and a vice 90% of the time
i run into so many columnus teams whom are all on fucking orange and red ammo
i use columbus as a push on my melee psyker lol
You run into bad players on every weapon
just position better preemptively so you actually have space to melee and save your ammunition for things that actually need to be shot
that's pretty much it
You dont know how small 1 second in darktide is until you're watching your cooldown go up, and you look away shoot 5 things and you've already passed 10 seconds in darktide time
stop W-sprinting when you hear horde sounds
Which then means you've had upkeep on your VOC for 8 or 9 seconds
and then getting pinched by the back spawn AND the ambients you just pulled
Or more
no
Plus
no
god gave me grenades
the whole keystone under exec stance don't make sense to me in a game that's about maintaining team coherency lol
the amount of times I literally solo a mixed elite + trash spawn from behind with ZERO participation from the team who is W-rushing
is frankly criminal
I'll say, if we're speaking of auric damnation, you're guranteed to make ammo back with survivalist because your max ammo count is so high
There's plenty of situations I don't really want to engage hordes in melee anyway if I have reason to believe a burster or something is around a corner
never playing this game again if hadron fucks me on this
That 1 or 2 elite kills will give you 40 bullets back after using 15
Rather make space
the corner is the best possible place to take on a burster lol
beacuse you can use the corner or even push through it
Its not bad to shoot into hordes... because rarely are runs determined in 1 second... its usually 30 
chances are the trash mob would've never spawned if you maintained coherency
and be guaranteed it won't get you
Not if you aren't sure if it's there
Just use VOC it's not like it takes that much skill 💀
actually what, lmao
Huh?
Mixed hordes just run uo sometimes
is this the voodoo that the director ONLY spawns rear-enemies when someone is lagging behind?
Off to a good start 
Ok let me rephrase for ur literacy
If u hear the bopping and don't know where it is
on higher difficulties the AI will literally punish the fuck out of you for anchoring back there and playing sniper elite: shitty dark tide edition
pretty ALRIGHT i guess
Hadron middle finger unboxing
You can still VOC
no more plasteel, wasted the rest on another class
What no?
back to maelstrom
OK yes voc is the answer usually
that's only for taggable specials and I'm like 90% sure it's overridden by shocktrooper spawns in the first place
But ignoring voc
Thr director will spawn more shit if you're alone like disablers
I'd rather not run knee deep into horde if voc isn't up and I know a burster is popping soon
it will also spawn trash mods if you're lingering
full sound-cue horde+mixed elite waves spawn when they spawn and don't get affected otherwise
You can anchor further back as ranged but if you're not further than like looking at your team and the enemies
Its gonna be normal
Like, this is talking about loner zealots
Who run to nevada
also any good team is going to be fucking out of coherency x 1000 all the time anyway
Stabbing one guy
because plasteel in side rooms
Ideally you stay after finding it though
I find marksman to be fine tbh. It's just not as ridiculously universal as focus target
Coherence bonuses are important
idk i used to think the same way but anyone who claims w spam is likely just someone who real bad at keeping up with their team and usually costs their team more shit to deal with when they die to "all the shit their team left behind"
when you're fighting yes
Well yeah
Marksman just needs better bonuses
That's what I'm getting at
i'm with the team when we're fighting but other than that I'm out of coherency a lot of times for plasteel
I just hate my team so I have them wait in airlocks and elevators till I am done looting 😎
since i usually get pubs that don't explore sidepaths much
but like even on auric maelstrom there's tons of "downtime" when people can be pulling forward while the plasteel is collected
and I actively have to run away frrom my team to explore sidepaths
I just play knife zealot and try to get away from my team because they're heretics and are best kept at a distance
Fuck side paths sometime
because teammates like to follow you for some reason even if you're going into a dead end for mats
without outright yolorushing past already aggroed enemies, or shooting super distant enemies just to pull them too
Only time I've ever had w spam as a problem is if it's literally 3 knife users and I'm on psword
Sometime it’s nice that someone notice you fall out of the team and wait for you
W Spam?
Otherwise if u fall behind its your fault
it's a problem every single time that players choose to literally ignore enemies and keep running past them
Yeah, I mean don't get stuck on 5 pox walkers... sometimes even I get trapped
g5 just goes smoother if you keep moving forward and move as a group lol. the whole ranged stand your ground exec stance thing just goes against how the game encourages you to play lmao
for some reason
You just gotta make space and run up
it's pretty rare that they aggro enemies and those enemies don't aggro onto them though
crescendos/room events exist
Auric damantion is a matter of making fast enough progress thst you can keep your resources up
every midpoint event and finale room involves a ton of standing around
The game literally does not stop spawning enemy on auric
Damnation you can spend some time clearing every little thing stuck on your tail
If u try to kill everything before moving on u will never move on
and many of these events are the most stressful parts of their level
Just kill stuff in time and you don't have to stand your ground. Also just get headshots and you don't have to stand still for left keystone anything else is just skill issue
lol auric is not that intense
like the middle desert room with the battery carrying
Last auric damn I played did, everything came in trickles then HUGE spec waves, then trickles
Esp on scab only monstro nurgle blessed modifier
You can feel the waves
maelstrom can get a bit sketchy but auric is typically chill
Its why it's important to keep moving and not get bogged down by like 5 dudes
Man is an elitist ! Catch him !
And ya that's what I mean
Waa
and even on maelstrom it really REALLY depends on the modifiers
that's what i'm talking about lol balista was whining about "w spam" when it's likely just his team cohering as they should be lol
been using the columnus brauto for a couple runs, pretty snazzy, it's not an agri but it hits some stagger breakpoints that graia doesn't
easier to stunlock priority elites and specials
no, it's fucking zealots dodging past melee enemies 'to melee the ranged enemies behind them" only to pull another melee AND ranged squad and then they fucking die and then I have to put up with a quadpull
I hate that every time I seee mutant hordes it reminds me of WWE rage cage matches
I need the wrestler mod mutants
just shoot the neemy and let them meet you halfway
did this mission the other day which felt like a nonstop horde, wish the game was like this more often
For sure, but some ppl get really exposed with their bad mentality on that modifier I mentioned
from behind
just crank the spawn rate up fs
ran with a recon lasgun on a heresy match
god gave you ranged weapons for a reason, one revolver bullet to pull a bunch of melee like 30 meters forward is worth it
you're gettin there
see in this situation we have an overpull from the front from W-rushers, who are now completely out of position to deal with back spawns on account of having already overpulled from the front
Overpull means not too much
if you're the one not with the team you're the one out of position
If your team is moving you move
ah yes just let me overpull with the rest of hte team and then act surprised when 4 crushers come into us from behind
Because they don't want to get stuck in a bad position or use more resources than you need
I can SEE those fucks walking in
Just kill them as u move with them
Yeah
Unironically
I will fight them where they come from, thank you very much
because you're 75m behind your team and they spawned lol
I mean if 4 crushers are getting pulled
Then you're with the team
You all deal with the crushers
If ur running back into the crushers while 3 are moving on
Then yes
That is ur fault unironically
These aren't speed run strats
it's just keeping the difficulty director from reeming your cornhole
Its true, and it's something I had to learn
you don't think it's worth dealing with the 4 crusher pull from behind and instead deciding to pull another bunch of enemy from the front? k
Because sometimes you focus on 6 scab brusiers
Now you're on the tail of ragers that your team staggered
Now you're getting more stuck behind
I think it's better to kill the crusher on the move rather than running backwards into them yes
I died like 20 times going "gee why did my team instantly die the moment I met up with them"
"oh yeah it's because of the FOUR CRUSHERS I was ignoring to catch up with my team"
Well that's a different issue
What are you nerds even arguing about
game gave me another autopistol, what do you think
the argument that getting left behind by your team isn't a thing
I'm always the last dude
If you want a dick answer, because you weren't there.
My answer is, because sometimes people get into bad spots and die and that's normal
But I still make sure to keep up
and that it's purely your fault
While killing stuff while staying on the move
which would've never happened if you wouldn't have pulled them your way and had to catch up
Usually the guy in the tail is the one dying
Like I'm using v7 and sword when I try hard I'm not exactly fast lol
So I take rear
I never run backwards into spawns from behind
That's stupid
I kill while moving forward with team
pretty useable if you feel like some variety, change crit chance to Flak and mess around with it in your difficulty of choice
you do realize "behind" can be just like 3-5 seconds of movement right
Yeah
Only time I ever struggled was the game I mention unrionically 3 knife users
doesn't drop down
Silent trapper spawn:
"Why hello there"
I mean again it's just doing your best to stay in the blob
ic ic
Then maybe u have an excuse if they leave u behind if ur using a slow wep
That is also true
if you think that turning around for 3-5 seconds of movement to deal with a highly telegraphed mixed elites horde that has chosen to spawn from behind
isn't the play
Bur I also run plasma, and a dclaw
and also, brace when shooting whenever you can to improve not only recoil, but stagger power
and that the play is to instead keep focusing on pulling forward to suddenly get sandwiched between double the enemies you would have otherwise had to deal with
about as much as you realize that maintaining coherency is everything in this game and anything that goes wrong as a result of making the consciouce decision to not do that is on you
Its the issue in my eyes that if you turn around
I've been doing shenanigans with the new shovel and an agrippina shotgun ngl
Thats just more opportunity for the Ai director to spawn more
It's a fun melee centric swap build
I'm just saying I don't have a problem with "w spam" at all in auric mael despite always being rear guard bc of my wep choice
So either
I'm just lucky
W/ teammates
Nah
Or its a skill issue
dude just need to learn to cohere
There is an argument to be had that if you go back, and kill them then you may not get sandwhichdd but that argument can go both ways
you probably just have a perception problem
You go back and get sandwhiched
You go forward get sandwhiched
when it was your mistake that got them all killed
why you think zealots coherency talent does that
hadron just gave my shovel +20% more damage against caraprace
One of these outcomes gives you progress
Lol ok
The other doesn't
director licks its lips
I mean it wasn't
no the cope
I'm not the one complaining about losses
Y'all are nerds
I actually keep a tally and a notebook lol
Its just getting stuck in the back is more liable to make you die
Bc muh team
And this is coming from my own experience
the "cope" is saying "wspam" when referring to the entirety of the rest of your team
Doing your best not to get stuck on a few guys and pushing them away to meet up with you team
i don't have anything against pulling ambients from range in a managable fashion when there isn't an event
when there IS an event and you have zealots fucking diving two waves deep
just stay with them. most learn this on like g3
while an entire horde is rumbling in from behind
Well okay that's a little different
Like even if I'm in cohernecy I can look back down a long hallway and SEE "we got crushers from behind"
I totally do that to get rid of a gun line
"My team is bad" and "you're just coping for your lack of skill" coming from the same person is an interesting take to say the least
yeah I'm gonna detach from being in coherency while we stomp on a bunch of groaners and shootrs
no no no lol don't you make me drag the reply down again
In an event, I mean its great that your zealots are taking part of that horde while another spawn comes behind because zealots are amazing at wave clear
to go back
Then ideally once they're done they go back to help, which isn't far because events are often pretty close together
it's like watching myself earlier in game
people just aren't aware of anything that isn't immediately stabbing them in the ass and that's hilarious
used to get big mad about people running ahead and cope that it wasn't a me thing
the number of times I've died stupidly somehow so I get to watch through someone's eyes
and then I watch a psyker literally S-dodge backwards 20 times until he hits a crusher with his ass because he never once looked backward
pretty sure it's fairly common place in the beginning of the endgame
It is what it isss
I'm gonna echo what was said before BTW
Anyone that complains incessantly about their team in this game needs to take a look in the mirror when it's soloable lol
There's a reason I don't in fact come here to moan about muh team
heyyyy
i said something along those lines
if I wanted to solo I'd play solo
so far my experience with randoms has been mostly been good, if that's any consolation

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that teams have some amount of situational awareness
I'm kinda surprised really
then move with your team
Well it is

Who has less situational awareness I wonder
3 ppl moving together or the 1 guy running backwards
move with the team down a drop while we have crushers-spawn up and then act surprised when we fucking die with our backs to the wall because o dropping crushers
👍
You lose youre team when you move back out of coherence because a small group of groaners spawned behind you
And you were the only one to go back
I can walk and shoot a bunch of shitty trash
That's my personal experience to learn out of
I can't shoot a bunch of crushers and I'm going to spam pings about it
(unless I'm playing plasma or helbore but that's different)
No no wait
team should be aware of it
your original comment was that people w spam while shit spawns behind YOU
yeah
Wven with a pgun if you get tricked into running back you'll get caught alone
you are the problem
shit will spawn behind the whole team
and then people insist on pulling with a huge ball of incoming elites
already on their way
and then they get double stuffed
Yess because that's how you make progress
and act surprised "wow they really buffed the director huh"
Tbh I don't understand the problem u have if ur willing to run back and kill stuff just kill it and catch up
Best you can do with armour behind your team with a horde is to delay. Throw a shredder between set intervals to delay as much as possible, eventually the front side will be cleared out
Because the director is still gonna spawn things behind and in front and if you move back
I don't agree with running back but even supposing u only have melee
Its still just gonna spawn things
no you idiots there was an audible sound cue and I pinged the nicoming crushers coming down the hallway an eon ago but the psyker was too busy brainbursting poxwalkers in the front
Just go back and kill them and catch up
Wtf is the problem lol
If ur good like u say I mean
Secone I will say this isn't an exhaustive list because there are situations where you might go back to hold a better choke for a spec wave
But it is always best to keep moving forward
Knock on wood I never get these players in these stories
biggest reason to not take a shitty drop or door
hear a thousand bursters before you move through a checkpoint/
yeah maybe stop to let them catch up, shoot them, then walk through the checkpoint
Yeah thats valjd
else you can get the hilarious "four bursters on the otherside of the checkpoint door" moment
No I refuse. Team doesn't loot they get to enjoy me dragging every special to them 
i see the one's that die alot when they hang behind tryna "snipe" and "stuff that we ran past" killed them
LOUDER BECAUSE NO ONE FUCKING UNDERSTAND
undewa-what
Same tbh
Guess I'm just lucky
I am the player in these stories
i mean I get +singledigit truelevels queuing up for maelstrom-with-everything
and then dying to poxwalkers
I have no fucking clue what's going on
you see all kinds
he's just reeling. his original rant was about everyone leaving him behind to push forward and him killing stuff that spawns by him lol
I’ll hold up (im cadian I’ll be alright) and wait for the 7 elites who just sounded off behind us while they impatiently run ahead into a horde like do you guys want these 7 elites to add on to the horde you are fighting in why the fuck are you upset I’m not diving in that with you
happens all the time bb
everyone earns the right to be annoyed and vent, just dont engage. let them have their medicine.
like most of the time scoreboards are close enough to say "eh it's fine"
this is not a fine scoreboard
Teams fine
can I have that team good sir
U only outdps by 100 or 200k at most that's actually fair
the notes on this game was literally "team doesn't know how to look backwards"
yeah that's honestly fine lol did you just wanna post executioner getting high damage stat?
Mf you have notes
every time they all died
was because I finally caught up with them... with the rest of the tailing elites
i mean evidently so did you
can I have your team though, I get these teams lol
that's just a 3 death team, one guy on the struggle bus and 1 guy who died once
what if you never lost coherency tho
I save full game footage too, sometimes I go bakc and review "was that really a silent special (confirmed with spidey sense mod)"
(answer is very often yes)
then the team would've gotten fucked by 4 crushers + all the horde
Like
not 1 crusher + some of the horde
What if you’re running max toughness + reduction grenadier braced autogun and do whatever the fuck you want because you can clutch the world
100k or 200k behind is perfectly fine lol
Idk what ur complaining about on that team
is it just me or is it fun injecting stims to your teammates
i mean the numbers don't really speak anything
them dying
to completely preventable stuff
and the specials killed count makes it clear that I had rearguard that entire game with the massively padded specials killcount
i mean
You got a discord notification
i'm not bragging about special kils because yes you do farm them if you're in the back
I didn't notice thanks
Ey np
youd be terrible if you didn't have high special count
might even be higher if you maintained coherency
ngl, the main reason I leave coherency is cause of plasteel lol
but I'm confident enough to be able to solo back to my team if need
a true gentlemen
It's OK to be a plasteel goblin unless u die
coherency matters exceedingly little tbh
Then shame 😔
If you running survivalist you are the coherency they’ll follow you anywhere for that sweet ammo
by coherency we mean just staying in the same general area as your team
yeah the guy trying to turn "maybe if you just stayed in coherency" into a catchphrase is on something
Ur the one literally complaining that ur team abandoned u
cuz he talking about being far enough away for shit spawned not to be noticed
because if they stayed within 1 group of enemies distance they wouldn't be overpulling
but they're not
Like I said the only time I'd be sympathetic is if u had 3knife users and ur on slow weapons
they're going 2 deep by taking bad drops or by going into melee and then shooting past
and then running some more
when there's ALREADY an audible cue of
"hey you have enemies coming"
I mean if I’m leaving coherency all the time what the fuck would be the point of my coherency buffs to my boys
Might as well do inf weapon spec
(they're coming from behind, because that's what they do, and if you actually believe that enemies don't spawn from behind if you're all in cohernecy, maybe you should... gasp... record your gameplay and take notes)
U can't wait for specialist cues to stop on auric mael
(or just have more than 2 braincells)
fuck the boys, we ball
They don't stop on some modifiers
Lol
U just have to go
And watch your back while killing
i played with 4 VOC vets earlier lmao shit was just dummy ez
yeah but you can often tell when specs are coming from a mile away
i'm not saying you hear 1 mutie coming from narnia so you run backwards to melee it
LETS GET TO THE KI- IWANNA SEE EM- MOW EM DOW-
Again I don't understand the problem then, just kill them and catch up if ur as good as u say
well one was bear zealot but he was dressed as a vet and that perks really just a different spin on voc
the problem is that overpulling WHILE there is enemy from behind literally makes it harder than having to play solo
This honesty when I leave coherency I just walk through the shit that comes for me with a breeze
But only I can do that
My teammates not allowed
They’ll fuck it up I know it
because now they're all fucking dead up front, and I'm still fighting in the back, and now I have to deal with all the shit they overpulled too, and usually I just fucking give up because I'm 100% done with the team
honestly i've never had issues with overpulling from a team that just moves forward all the time
more issues from hanging out tempting the difficulty director lmao
than a team of "3 idiots who don't realize what the ARRRRRRRRRGH sound cue means"
man
just stay with your team. they not idiots for bunching up lol
it's that easy
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH‼️ ARYGHHHHHHHHHHH⁉️UHHFGGGGHHHHAAHHHH❗️❗️
whole ass game and half it's perks literally encourage not lolligagging
Tbh
if I wanted to play solo, I would download a mod for it
I can do clutches but I don't sign up for that experience by default and frankly speaking I would rather just die and get a new lobby for teams that are making my gameplay experience more miserable
again
Eh they encourage teamwork
Go as fast or slow as you want just look out for one another a bit
If two guys break off and the other runs away, chase the solo, simple as
Regardless of whether I agree with u or not
Sounds like u just need to stop worrying about what ur team is doing right or wrong
like a good team, I can hear the spawn, I turn around, I see crushers walking down the long hallway, I spam "I need help" and enemy tag and make a break for it
when I play I basically just try to stick to wherever the majority are at
Unironically it's probably making u have less fun lol
and literally everyone kills them together in ~10 seconds and it's done
U posted that screencap about ur bad team
That's unironically a team I would have said
instead of it taking a full minute or more because I'm having to weave powersword hits in between overheads
a lot of overheads
Wow they did ok
i mean I'm watching the clip I explicitly exported of it
literally never seen a team of crushers come from behind a team that's moving unless you're balled up for a push
the moment I was 100% sick of their shit
honestly now that mention it
the scoreboard is definitely fine
idk man just try sticking with your team maybe
there was just one moment in that game specifically that really ticked me off
OK even if they actually did something wrong at that moment (idk bc I didn't see it)
Ppl make mistakes lol
the whole 'hey guys maybe realize there are crushers behind instead of - annnnd they pulled an entire gunner squad from a distance"
"annnnd now they're running forward into it"
And ur literally malding
"okay I'm gonna keep kiting these crushers"
When they actually did decent as a whole
"Okay I met up with you and now literally everyone is dead and I'm standing in two gunner squads with half a crusher wave still up"
problem is you should've never left lol
your original rant was about w spammers as a generalization now you just making it about this one perfect storm scenario
"people make mistakes" is for things like "I meleed a barrel during a horde" or "I dodged badly against a box and got netted" or "my teammates changed their mind about a burster at the VERY LAST SECOND and I shot it off of them while they suddenly changed from running backward to running forward"
"people make mistakes" isn't "hey I pinged these nemies some 10-15 seconds in advance and y'all kept doing your own thing and now you're all dead"
idk man. like i and many others have said if your whole ass team is seperated from you that's not a them thing lol
Mf debate I’m going to bed 🏃♂️
Anyway my downloads are done so I'm gonna go back to playing the actual game
instead of malding on a discord
kk. go forth, and spawn more trash mobs from lingering and blame your team for it
🤌 🤌
GIVE EM THE OL KASRKIN DOUBLE TAP!
anyway
i really enjoy the mkvii devils claw now that i got one with some synergy
fucker is a lawn mower
you go wrath and savage sweep?
i don't have many g4 blessings so i was happy with what the milk man bestowed upon me
devastating strike is weird. it's pretty much up more than it isn't on my build
went with unarmored and flak so i can quickly mow shit down and pull out the revolver for the mix-ins
i wish it was a four but at this point in my dorktide career beggars can't be choosers
i finally witnessed the stagger power of a smoke grenade detonating
it's like
1 shove
maybe not even
1 devil claw light
I saw a post on reddit from a psyker complaining about smoke. Imagine ppl playing smoke enough for ppl to complain 

I finally played a game
with a smoke vet
it happened
TRUE
the one time i encountered smokes was just somebody playing a seemingly meme build where they mostly ran ahead and stealthed to avoid aggro
and they basically threw their smoke nades off of cooldown
even when it made no sense to throw smoke nadees
you don't get it, now they can't aim their assail knives 
krak is whack
krak is good for many things
nuke monstro
nuke assassination target
nuke the 5 bulwarks+trapper combo before they can fuck up the run
give a bomber some of their own medicine by fastballing a krak into their chest
I like to set flamer on fire
I prefer frags 
smonks nice for disabling line of sight for specials when you're too busy
but yeah i kept encountering situations where a frag would just wipe the whole screen for us
Whom LoS ?
trapper, flamer, doggy, not sure about mutie, all elites
i wasn't paying close enough attention to witness smokes disabling "gap-closer" melee attacks like that one fellow said they did
I was implying teammates 

i crave the equip and toss speed that zealot firebomb gets
i'm doing my best to maximize smonk values but i'm still a frag grenadier at heart
it just checks off that "bossing" section of your build by just existing lol
Omg that's exactly what I want!
ummmm, shit?
For spending melk bucks? Yeah
it isn't even melk bucks
Then just shit
bastard still hadn't reset my contracts
It's Mondays
Imo stats don't matter nearly as much as perks/blessings do
I won't spend plasteel unless I see a decent perk by blue and a decent blessing on purple
when the heck are you going to see "decent perk on blue" without spending plasteel to get to blue in the first place
Maybe "decent perk on green" but if you buy from the armory @ blue you're guaranteeing one crap blessing, usually
What do you mean stats don't matter ? 
Threw me into a loop ngl
honestly most guns don't lose breakpoints slipping down to ~60% on their various bars
and you can always check
I'm rocking a 60% damage 60% stopping power mg12 that still hits all the breakpoints the same as my 80-80 with the same build
but like that just saves me ducats mass-buying from brunts
i still had to brick a ton of lasguns before I got a 2/4 perks+blessings one and thus still had to spend a ton of plasteel
I want to believe you, but my brain really wants that god roll though
anytime i see an uncollected perk i eat the weapon
still chasing all perks on my chainsword
if you have ducats from playing damnation you'll have infinite ducats compared to plasteel ANYWAY
Yes, but I don't have infinite luck
and I'm still new so I want to try several different weapons
no, what I mean is you'll be so bottlenecked on plasteel you really don't need to worry about not having enough ducats to get a perfect-distributed 380 grey
So far I didn't have good luck with rolling greys, which is also good in a way, because it saved me plasteel
wew just got this as damnation run reward, what is best pair with power cycle?
what do I put on a mk4 (old-one) chaxe?
IMO headtaker + brittleness on hit
do you just lean into the rev or can you build it for spam?
light spam is unironically faster TTK than rev against many elites
safer, more consistent, you don't get cucked on damage if you have to dodge
mmm
hitting a mauler with multiple lights will soften it up and stack up headtaker and suddenly it just falls over
same with crushers
is slaughterer worth or head better?
also the light spam causes ragers to enter the "wargrglrgele" stun state
assuming you want the brittle no matter
so you can do things like lightspam one rager while dodging the other's attacks
Brutal momentum, iirc
chainaxe4 is now actually a sick weapon
for power swords, it's bromentum if you plan on utilizing the perfectly horizontal attack of the give npowersword regularly
if you don't, there's a decent argument for slaughterer
so thunderous + headtaker and what... maniac carapace/flak ?
but you SHOULD be aiming for heads so you SHOULD be using bromentum
I do flak maniac myself, unyielding is mostly a meme and carapace isn't really that much of an improvement given that you already lightspam crushers to death fairly easily and even though 25% damage seems like it should be a lot... ehhhhhh...?
I don't notice losing damage on it but I do notice when hordes of flak trash take longer, when meleeing scab shooters takes longer
plus im gonna be using a gunthat can carapace too and I never want to melee crushers if I can help it XD
im excited
the 2 IV I had happened to be thunderous / headtaker
noice
the diff between thunderous 3 and 4 is not that pronounced
8% against specials will do literally nothing with the targets you will be swinging it at, slap on maniac and you can change it around depending on how you feel
someone I play with swears by unarmored on it? I think it gives you 1-tap scab melee heads (which are unarmored) with zero headtaker stacks, which is... well it's something
also better performance against dreg bruiser hordes while heavy-spamming
but like, eh
Still got two more to go. Man I'm not sure if I'm ready for Damnation
nothing to lose
Do you survive most of your heresy missions without dying a lot? Then you are ready for damnation
hi-intensity is the one I'm currently struggling with
which is funny since my first heresy run was hi-intensity fog thanks to quickplay, somehow it ended up well despite dying a lot
I was fucking unprepared
only way to get used to damnation is to play on damnation
Maybe try to find low-int to get used to the higher health in damnation first, if you want to be really careful
everyone gets the culture shock at least once
you'll get broken out of some things you can get away with on lower diffs... and, uh playing vet, you might find yourself picking up new habits that you normally wouldn't be able to do on lower diffs lol
infinite ammo from scavenger kek
Damnation also has a higher chance of having better teammates who can carry you a little, no harm in trying
good chance youll wonder why you didnt move up sooner tbh
main thing is if you are comfortable inside hordes not taking chip dmg
in dam games I reckon usually the other 3 will be able to snipe disablers and shit
Also, i would argue people are more chill on damnation then heresy. Could just be coincidence.
That's also my experience
theyll just get you back up
I did a game today with a guy that went down like... 15 times they had 3 wound curios. was pretty funny honestly.
i just realized Headtaker and Slaughterer are basically the same blessings. more or less
does it stack?
kinda makes you wonder
Just cleared a QM damnation with a lvl 22 and lv 26 lol
tbh try hardchecking yourself, not necessarily "skill issue" but often its "awarenes issue"
- did i check behind in the last few sec? yes > do it again
- wheres team & where am i
-do you make similar position mistakes (cornerlock etc)
^thats really all the heresy>damnj difference is, you get punished and way more frequently for choices
keystonless double rending build
with stacked power?
secret bug with chaxe triggering onslaught please
OH hell yea those blessing satcks. HAHAH
If I am out of positions it's obviously because the team is out of positions 
its not as hard as you think
if you can hit your targets with your favorite gun youll do fine
The step up to heresy is way harder then damnation.
At least that was the case way back for me
id agree from a raw curve standpoint with that ya
Malice -> Heresy is dfefinitely a worse jump than Heresy -> Damnation
however the punish curve id say is the steeper end of heresy>damn, you can get away with a LOT in heresy tbf lol
Going from damnation to Auric is the hardest jump
^
gotta get used to a perpetual horde spawning
cant just clear it out like you used to
lmao
mourningstar chat is derranged all the time
i can confidently say you really dont lol
Chat being unhinged is the best part of chat
A zealot just called him the N word so
nurgle?
if you do a 180 fast enough you'll catch AI director spawning/teleporting enemies behind you
al lthe time lol
game theory
just being paranoid and abusing survivable builds is the way
DUDE
THe carnival? the drop halfway through
I jumped, looked left to the box I do one step foward
3 dregs spawn in my FOV
main reason imo shit like exec or brain burst fell out of favor, you can't just control the map or positioning
The director has no safe zones is stupid af
Its sort of a problem when sound doesnt work
No shit 
otherwise its preferrable
Spidey sense mod is carrying my ass
by actually letting me see the audio 
from ranged player perspective
what it means is that
sightlines, positioning etc
mostly worthless
just kiting is where its at
Idk if its intentional or a bug of the system
True, though has been since release
cause sometimes I'll have poxwalkers teleport like 2m behind me
and I'm like ???
I mean enemy ambush is an intended mechanic but I'd think it would have a minimum distance away from players
which it usually does to be fair
the odd case where i can remember that it seems to be client-svr latency
I broke my last mouse cable over doing panic 180 swings with helbore
I'm a low sens gamer, its not good for my wallet
actually convinced me to go wireless
i was gonna say, wireless is fine
I need to think of changing to wireless, but I like the wire, and I assume battery is an issue
I got a viper v2 on sale
You could also use rechargeable battery, my last set lasted me 4 years
^ logi gpro/g502
bought it off a sale for like 60% off
it was like 3x the price of this viper at the time of my purchase
🤔
it was too tiny for my hands but its good HW for sure
logitech mice and keyboards are nice but headsets are hot trash
pretty much any decent wireless mouse these days is rechargable /usb and-or wireless induction mouosepad compatible
The keyboards suck, romer g switches were trash
I can't speak for all models but I only have to charge mine in like, every 4-5 days, for an hour or two.
Ohh I didn't think of wireless induction
doesn't seem too bad though ofc battery can degrade if user abuses it
def model dependent, my 7yr old gpro wireless i still have for work doesnt need more than a charge per month lol
forsure ya
worst case scenario if you can solder you can swap the battery
iirc most of the logis dont even require soldering now?
dont think my specific model needs soldering thankfully
swapped a 502 lightspeed from a few yrs ago the other week and took maybe 10 mins
if you want to swap for another battery on the superlight or superligh 2 you have to soldier
but these batteries last for years
ah superlight id expect that ya
I have a 100% functional g pro but wanted a usb c cable and I wanted a red mouse
now im waiting for my new headphones and amp
newerlogis have transitioned to c 🙂
how bricked is this
yep
I went all out and spent way too much money but oh well it will last me decades
you're fine
change crit to maniac
sustained fire to dumdum
done
^^

''shooting enemies in the back'' means 180 degrees
raking fire feels so situational though
its easier than you think

its half of the possible engagement directions not directly behind
with bosses and stuff it adds a ton of dps when its facing someone else
^
mmm ayt i'll get a bit more plasteel and modify it accordingly
raking/dumdum is how I use mine
even things like a crusher/bulwark, sidestep while the aggro fwd and brun em down instantly from the side

that img wont load but im guessing its a columnus 5
Mhmm
Pop infiltrate, run behind enemy, 10 seconds to shoot befoee you become priority target
no close-range cap either on the massive dmg buff
hell even just VoC shout wave is usually enough lol
thats what I like the most about raking/dumdum combo, very straightforward
man after my own columnurgle
i aint clicking that...
Scrap code 
least buggy discord moment
disc has been struggglin a bit today ya
let it simmer its server-side, my mod tools in a few other game discs been buggin out the past 2 hrs from it XD
huh
old chaxe is great
heavy spam is good horde clear. its fun getting special attack on light feel without having to press thumb button over and over.
good. and feels good.
now just give a mauler-length chaxe polearm plsss
Discord currently embedded not loading since they are investigating
Indeed, image does not work
anyone able to tell me what suppression really does?
is anyone having lag problems with youtube?
i have super fast internet but videos aren't loading
but able to stream HQ twitch streams and netflix
On you or on enemy
both but on players most specifically
Suppression basically knock back that sway your weapon, but to enemy, it stop them from shooting
Basically it make you more difficult to shoot
yeah but how cause it doesnt seem to change anything tbh
it's like sway more or less?
what diff you on? its reduced in lower tiers + les mob density means you wont see it as much
heresy and occassionally damnation
It’s pretty hard to notice it in general especially if you’re killing gunner
the 2nd? iirc pskyaneim training sim has a suppression example in it if you wanna feel the difference on the wep
1 mob wont suppress you much either, it scales much faster with multiple raining bullets. even then diff weps may may not feel most of it due to their diff suppression values/ archetypes
so not very impactful?
Not really impactful, it’s a QOL talent
A minor QoL talent
Does anyone have a revolver build?

Still looks like discord not loading pictures to me 
same
Discord after laying off 17% of their workforces
Expect their thing not to breakdown

Where hellgun
In our hearts as of now 
hellgun is the friends we made along the way: good for appearances, slow you down, make you wait a lot, will probably cost you
Yeah it's basically pretty silly sway
It's worse and more noticeable if you're using something like a revolver
Where if you're under suppression good luck hitting anything that's not a reaper
But if you have like the plasmagun, the suppression doesn't matter because you're still pinpoint accurate anyway
Or like a br auto which doesn't actually care since you're already inaccurate anyway
I am now a Vraks believer
Such a fun gun
why didn't I use this before
I feel heretical now
this bricked orrrr?
Look bricked to me
it was bricked at purple
Super bricked
you should not have upgraded it lol
4/4 not usable
ah, are bolter perks and blessings different from zealot for vet?
for the funy
That was a fun 90% melee scab faction run
Some people prefer Pinning Fire, but Im not into Pinning
Lot of maulers
specialists is a do nothing, crit damage is a do nothign, gloryhunter is pretty donothing doubly so on vet
what would you use for vet?
I took Surgical and Shattering Impact for my Zealot, Didn't get to Boltgun yet on Veteran Char
shattering impact is probably the most impactful bolter blessing
flak changes some breakpoints
Honestly beyond those two though, i think it's fairly w/e
Chaos Marine /j
something like
flak/carapace
shattering impact+pinning fire
carapace optionally swappable to maniac or unyielding, i think someone also said unarmoed actually has some elite breakpoints
for gunner heads or something
Pinning FIre is alright if you decided to mag dump into waves of Mixed/Elites
i use shattering + pinning, and elites + unyielding
it's fine because crusher and mauler spawns mid-wave tend to have plenty of poxwalker groupies
