The other clas chats give a shit about documentation

terse idol
#

Whaaat

jaunty fiber
#

Outside of that, no idea

terse idol
#

No no no

serene sage
#

We are very shooty with many different weapons and playstyle
We have a lot more ways to min max

terse idol
#

We have pins detailing specific random things

#

We got like...

#

5 whole documents

jaunty fiber
#

You have a gun document that's hand typed and formatted like a high school paper

serene sage
#

So with more possibilities come more contentions

jaunty fiber
#

That's like...it

terse idol
#

We have contentious videos that we all gotta dog pile and argue on

#

Because the videos about vet are burning a hole in me

idle carbon
#

someone aught to post a really bad class breakdown akin to an ogrynomicon for vet, then just wait for the corrections to roll in and have the community do the heavy lifting lol

tall torrent
#

I just did the maths
Gloryhunter IV +25%
Confirmed Kill +30%
Both combined +55%
I have 163 toughness
That’s 89.7 toughness on one elite proc, which is around 13 toughness for everybody else

jaunty fiber
#

Anyway, I do wish I didn't have to stitch together screenshots to show of my scuffed kit

torpid sundial
#

So is it possible to use a melee build with a knife

bitter turtle
#

the value

#

40 toughness

#

4x CK power

#

so good

tall torrent
#

13 toughness doesn’t seem like much

#

However

#

The other 3 classes

torpid sundial
#

also Mk 6 or Mk 3 for the knife

tall torrent
#

Usually don’t have that high toughness

serene sage
tall torrent
#

So a 13 toughness gain for a psyker is like his 10%

serene sage
#

Use this website

jaunty fiber
tall torrent
#

If u really think abt it

jaunty fiber
#

The tree's just the one from the video

#

No I mean yeah there's the planner but it doesn't show you what I actualy have

serene sage
# jaunty fiber

Try taking Gunner Resistance on your curios, at least 2 of them

#

It will change your life

jaunty fiber
#

I mean I'm using what I have

#

Curios are kind of a hassle

#

I'm still trying to get my weapons right before i start dumping plasteel into these

serene sage
#

No I mean the perks

#

Which you already changed

torpid sundial
#

if gunner res extended to basic ads gunners it would be so much better

serene sage
#

To block and sprint

bitter turtle
#

id try this if i wanted to do wep specialist + ciag knife

serene sage
#

Change it to gunner resistance, it's relatively cheap

terse idol
serene sage
jaunty fiber
#

It just feels good to be able to sprint a lot. Leave me with more stamina to push and stuff with

tall torrent
jaunty fiber
#

Don't need the block eff though

bitter turtle
#

consider stam regen

#

but both are fine really

terse idol
#

hmmhmhmmhmhmm

tall torrent
#

And u can sprint really long

bitter turtle
#

id recommend against combat ability regen tho

#

its very

jaunty fiber
#

Yeah just those two rolls makes a huge difference

bitter turtle
#

very tiny

terse idol
#

Losing my mind on these fr

serene sage
bitter turtle
#

lul

terse idol
#

Also

bitter turtle
#

but yeah drop block efficiency and combat ability imo

terse idol
#

*scream

The Mx12 is a little better

#

Oh no why did I subject myself to this video again

serene sage
#

Just stop watching KEKW_ogryn

jaunty fiber
bitter turtle
#

yeah that's fine

#

recip is better than the other node

#

just takes more points to grab onslaught then

serene sage
vernal harbor
#

colum v 🙏

#

how could i have been blind for so long

#

for reference because the director was smoking that evil blunt

#

honest to god the most highest of intensities ive ever seen that has to not be intended i promise it bugged out

terse idol
#

casual

#

59

vernal harbor
#

watching with mine own cadian purple orbs as group after group of specialists spawns in a room over and over

#

i mean its auric heresy

#

and a couple of the dudes left and joined so there were more they killed before they said fuck this

#

youre smoking that evil pack as well if you think 59 specials in a 30 minute match is casual

#

idk how many more i could have killed, just aiming straight and holding the trigger they were running into it

#

i would like to see a grenade stat though since thats my build, like how many i popped off and stuff

#

as you can imagine with the numbers you see, that % chance for a grenade to spawn in my pocket was very high

#

last thing a stupid ass sniper sees

tall torrent
jaunty fiber
#

@bitter turtleOh hey what would you do with this tree if I were to switch to power sword?

bitter turtle
#

and play around with breakpoints

#

for crushers

#

25% attackspeed powersword cleaves through hordes like butter so all that really matters is you can hit whatever breakpoint you want on a crusher and then dump the rest of the points in grenades or more gun dmg

#

in that case i'd probably dip into superiority complex

slate sleet
#

seeing a community guide from this place would be funny tbh

bitter turtle
#

it really depends on your psword though

slate sleet
#

the braindead redditor plasma psword meta build

bitter turtle
#

mine cant do the 2shot on crushers no matter how i build my tree

#

so

#

i'd go more into my gun dmg regardless since as long as it does the 3 shot it doesnt really matter to pick up more melee dmg for me

#

every other enemy gets turned to swiss cheese with the aspd boost on psword so you dont need to think too much on that

serene sage
#

Every patch a new guide

#

Good luck

vernal harbor
neat stratus
#

Psyker is such a bad class god damn, it hurts so much to use

vernal harbor
#

i want to know if im just an asshole or if the public opinion is the same in thinking its boring and dry as hell

bitter turtle
#

idc what people play as long as it doesnt interrupt my fun

neat stratus
#

Generally you choose between horrible damage or horrible crowd control in comparison with any other class, and if you dare fight for your life, chances are youll either blow yourself up or get swarmed because you can't fight back against anything

#

Not saying it'd be horrible for everyone but god is it a downgrade from nothing for me

serene sage
#

Vets can really do everything though

#

Psykers lack boss damage

neat stratus
#

Or damage in general

sharp ember
#

however: illisi force sword and bubble dome

serene sage
#

I guess Zealots can do everything as well

#

Ogryns lacks finesse and accuracy

neat stratus
#

Killing more than one elite in a swarm is a nearly impossible task sometimes

vernal harbor
#

i may be wrong but i played psyker and loved it at launch then dropped in in feb.

serene sage
vernal harbor
#

i think it was just brain burst when i played then they nerfed it

hybrid isle
neat stratus
#

Surge in particular is the worst weapon I've ever used in a game before

serene sage
#

So much so I'm tempted to invest in a good Surge staff

sharp ember
#

yeah trauma will stunlock an elite patrol and kill hordes if allowed to cook

thick wolf
#

damn those stats, ouch

neat stratus
#

It'll never target elites or specials when you need it to, and when it finally does it'll take 1-2 fully charged bursts to kill them

#

It suffers from pre-buff outcast engineer syndrome, unless your team is good enough you're doomed

#

And at that point why not just use zealot or veteran, the good classes that don't need no babysitting

vernal harbor
serene sage
#

It sucks at boss damage though

thick wolf
#

the blessings look ok

#

but the stats?

serene sage
#

Which is psykers im general

thick wolf
#

bricked

serene sage
#

Gunkers aside

neat stratus
#

They're ok at best, the primary, which is shared with practically every other staff is the main appeal to it for me

thick wolf
#

the emperor keeps fucking with me with these "gifts"

neat stratus
#

I've never disliked doing anything more than going to heresy or above with a surge staff but that's probably just me

tall torrent
sharp ember
#

more staff psykers means more ammo for me megachingryn

torpid sundial
sharp ember
#

even if i gotta peel the exploded ones off the floor occasionally

sleek garden
#

Have any of you found yourself grimacing in a bad situation like you're feeling it

torpid sundial
#

surge staff can pretty much carry HI damnations and even in auric because you can snipe elites and specials right as they spawn or appear

sleek garden
#

i find myself wincing mag dumping a bolter into a bunch of crushers

torpid sundial
#

also its the easiest low ceiling skill staff to use

slate sleet
#

we really need difficulty 6 and raider io or something

#

put a pin on people who actually know how to play the game so you can discard the redditor misinfo

sleek garden
#

i think the difficulty is fine as it is

neat stratus
torpid sundial
#

Eh thats up to you

neat stratus
#

Or any ranged weapon tbf

torpid sundial
#

I've had fun with every class

thick wolf
#

rolled a profane ia lasgun, the stats are well-rounded I think?

torpid sundial
#

I don't think any less of any class, they're all good in their own way

neat stratus
#

Maybe I'm overexaggerating but man, I can't remember enjoying playing psyker

torpid sundial
#

Maybe you haven';t played it enough

#

or played it at level 30

slate sleet
torpid sundial
#

where you can experiment with all the weird builds

slate sleet
#

but its to be expected from people in here

torpid sundial
#

also idk what

#

horrible damage

#

psyker?

slate sleet
#

game i just finished 5 min ago

torpid sundial
#

Your sample size of maybe 5-10 people?

neat stratus
thick wolf
#

hadron wtf did you do

neat stratus
#

Maybe it's just not built for my brain but I genuinely cannot enjoy or use psyker well

torpid sundial
#

How many games have you played with psyker and what are your builds

tall torrent
sharp ember
#

oh

thick wolf
#

yeah hadron fucked me over, again

sharp ember
#

i see

torpid sundial
#

like when I'm not going full support psyker I generally do the most damage

#

every game

thick wolf
#

time to farm more plasteel yippeee

torpid sundial
#

every damnation and auric game

thick wolf
#

well I guess its somewhat of an improvement over to my old one?

slate sleet
#

my psyker main friend gets 1mil dmg every time i drag him to play a game with me (he quit because the game is too easy)

thick wolf
torpid sundial
#

I do the least damage as brittle trauma shield smite psyker but who cares because I'm enabling my team to kill everything as easy as possible as fast as possible

#

So the stats dont even say everything

neat stratus
fiery wave
torpid sundial
#

yeh

sharp ember
thick wolf
#

the ranged damage perks don't give me much confidence in the recent roll however

torpid sundial
#

Have you tried LMB psyker :^)

slate sleet
#

he has used every single psyker weapon and loadout its too ez because psyker is the strongest class in the game by far

neat stratus
#

I can run anything on heresy just fine, but surge staff just aint it

thick wolf
#

how can I salvage this

slate sleet
#

i feel the exact same way but for veteran

torpid sundial
#

surge staff is very good idk what you're on about

neat stratus
torpid sundial
#

you can easily bring it to auric damnation easily

neat stratus
#

Clearly not

torpid sundial
#

Thats probably your problem then

sharp ember
torpid sundial
#

I've tried surge staff only builds

neat stratus
#

Maybe I have severe brain damage and shouldn't be let out of an insane asylum, maybe its just a me problem like I've been trying to say

torpid sundial
#

no melee no G

fiery wave
thick wolf
#

ughhhhh

torpid sundial
#

only charged surge staff the entire run

#

and it works

thick wolf
#

she bricked my shovel and she bricked my recent ia lasgun

#

thanks

torpid sundial
#

I think its sort of the playstyle and mindset

#

I did have trouble when I first started psyker

#

similar to ogryn

#

like you have to tune your gameplay and mindset

#

with each class

fiery wave
thick wolf
#

1.5 stamina on a grenade launcher

#

amazing

fiery wave
#

tis' a shotgun

neat stratus
#

Psyker is about as bizarre as placing an energy drink next to apples, oranges, and a banana

torpid sundial
#

it is the only spell caster class

neat stratus
#

Playstyle doesn't fit in with the others even slightly

torpid sundial
#

I would say ogryn's the major outlier though instead of psyker

tall torrent
#

It’s strange in like it’s the only class where you technically need to juggle between 3 weapons (blitz, melee & ranged)

torpid sundial
#

especially melee ogryn

torpid sundial
neat stratus
#

I can play ogryn off of experience from the other classes, Psyker is a different beast even after playing it for so long

fiery wave
#

Ogryn is brain dead easy

#

It’s why I exclusively play it

tall torrent
#

I’m not that familiar with surge staff but isn’t that one of the best anti-special tools u can have on psyker

neat stratus
#

I like trauma more for that, crowd control too

torpid sundial
#

its autoaim, and arguably the best weapon for ventilation purge and lights out

#

because you wave your wand in a certain direction and you find enemies by killing them

#

30m away

neat stratus
#

Autoaim kinda screws me sometimes, targets the wrong enemies when there's a horde

torpid sundial
#

never really had that issue

#

maybe takes 2-3 tries but I can snipe elites and specials inside the horde

tall torrent
#

I’m pretty sure it still tries to focus on the target you’re directly aiming at

torpid sundial
#

yea

#

closest to your reticle

tall torrent
#

It’s like aiming brain burst

torpid sundial
#

You can definitely carry games with trauma without ever switching to your melee

#

But generally I'd say psyker scales better the harder the game is aka High Intensity

#

and packs of elites/specials

quartz sapphire
#

Overwatch penance is last, yet teams not willing to help

fiery wave
#

high int dogs smite + kickback

torpid sundial
#

Like I don't have to kite that much against a group of 10 crushers because every time they get up I can just make them fall over again

zealous wyvern
torpid sundial
#

Apart from dps its pretty important because it provides space for your entire team

tall torrent
quartz sapphire
#

Getting it, teammates been stopping me

zealous wyvern
#

by being bad?

torpid sundial
#

Finished all veteran penaces except this

quartz sapphire
#

No, like letting me have to deal with orde by myself

#

Because we LOVE penances that aren't based on teamworks

fiery wave
#

play with better players

quartz sapphire
#

I'm gonna try the ledge idea

zealous wyvern
#

overwatch is mostly

torpid sundial
#

which is a good autogun for stripped down?

zealous wyvern
#

skill

#

your own

#

play low intensity

tall torrent
#

It’s never a bad pick

torpid sundial
#

speedload for stripped down, elites to flak I guess

zealous wyvern
#

stamina curios help a ton

quartz sapphire
#

Yep, it skill, even when they get behind you without warning

zealous wyvern
#

yes

fiery wave
#

playing with randoms or on auric you should expect to solo parts of the game

tall torrent
torpid sundial
#

hrm

zealous wyvern
#

youre not supposed to let them surprise you

#

get better

torpid sundial
#

yeah I think thats fine too

tall torrent
#

Braced autoguns just don’t kill crushers that well

quartz sapphire
#

I'll do the throw myself over the ledge thing

tall torrent
#

Carapace is somewhat redundant

zealous wyvern
#

theyll revive you

west rampart
#

has anybody bought that green revolver skin in the shop and realized the front aim post is gone?

torpid sundial
#

also you do hear sounds when enemies are about to attack you so you can block

fiery wave
torpid sundial
#

I got it in a random damnation game the other day

fiery wave
terse idol
torpid sundial
#

somehow took 200+ ranged damage

terse idol
#

I didn't buy it

torpid sundial
#

and 0 melee

terse idol
#

But I hoope FS like

#

Fixes it

quartz sapphire
#

Since that the only penance I need to be done

terse idol
#

They are coming back frokm holiday

west rampart
quartz sapphire
#

Then can do the missions for fun while going for that black helmet

terse idol
#

theey'll fix eet

tall torrent
zealous wyvern
#

1 low intensity
2 stamina curios
3 melee build
4 not completely bad teammates

torpid sundial
#

what are braced autoguns good for actually

#

lower accuracy, but has cleave?

zealous wyvern
#

everything

torpid sundial
#

I mean compared to the other autoguns

white minnow
#

good bodyshot damage and not having to aim

tall torrent
torpid sundial
white minnow
#

at least on the agri, the stagger and suppression is appreciable

tall torrent
#

The stagger is high enough to fend off ragers

#

And because of the cleave u can pick out flamers, trappers and bombers through a horde fairly well

#

U also kill hordes pretty fast with braced autogun

white minnow
#

i like to run agri brautos for basically 90% ranged damage games

#

just shoot that shit all the time and not have to worry about ammo

tiny summit
tall torrent
thick wolf
#

tis gonna take a lot of sessions

torpid sundial
#

I'm trying to find stripped down

#

and three whites to blues gave me terrifying barrage 3 three times in a row

#

hadron pls

#

at least give me other blessings to earn

thick wolf
#

me trying to find headhunter for my ia lasgun

opal dove
torpid sundial
#

I do it everyday

#

Melk hasnt given me anything good in over a week

zealous wyvern
#

everyday on all 5 veterans

#

i got nothing i want since october

#

but i got some 4s for weapons i might use some day

opal dove
#

What do you want?

zealous wyvern
#

anything meta on the weapons i actually like

#

gets hot, handgun, shred

torpid sundial
#

Havent seen a PC4 still

zealous wyvern
#

i also want powercycler i suppose even though im not too fond of the weapon

torpid sundial
#

But even then I'm just annoyed by it that I'll probably never use the power sword

opal dove
#

I'm an old guardsman. Define "anything meta on the weapon"

zealous wyvern
#

there is more i want. i just forgot

torpid sundial
#

I've tried everything except braced autoguns and knives on veteran

zealous wyvern
#

anything thats toptier on respective weapon

torpid sundial
#

so my next build is going to be braced autogun + knife

#

with weapons specialist

zealous wyvern
#

melk never gives me blessings that are actually good recently

#

except uncanny on knife but i dont like knife so itll be a while until i get something out of that

quartz sapphire
#

I got OW penance

#

😄

torpid sundial
#

can you zoom as fast as zealots if you run knife

zealous wyvern
#

if you didnt cheat it well done

stark trench
#

I don't play knife zealot but the vet with a knife is very fast if you take the +speed node and even faster when you ult with invisibility

thick wolf
#

the fastest hands in the imperium

jaunty fiber
#

Oof, the damnation quickplay list is just cursed right now

#

That's all for me today

umbral scaffold
jaunty fiber
#

Bullshit aside, I'm starting to like the rachad Caxe

terse idol
#

What'cha got on it

jaunty fiber
#

Those heavies go hard

vernal harbor
jaunty fiber
#

Brutal momentum and...uhhhh

#

I don't remember

#

I closed the game and I'm allergic to logging into it right now so

#

But it's gud

terse idol
#

Headtaker, Decimatoe binoculargek

jaunty fiber
#

Uh, honestly? I don't really like any of these conditions

#

Save for the hounds or maybe lights out from time to time

#

But the damn ventilation or the hi intensity shit is just sweaty and tazing for no good reason

#

My hands are still shaking from the constant 11 I have to be set to to navigate those missions

#

Oh I think it's headtaker btw

terse idol
jaunty fiber
#

Yeah don't remember where I got it but it rolled real nice

#

so I just kept it

vernal harbor
jaunty fiber
#

lol

vernal harbor
#

I’m not saying I’ll win those damnation conditions

#

In fact I’ll lose that’s why I won’t play that

jaunty fiber
#

Yeah nah, I'm not here for this "maybe I'll win" shit

vernal harbor
#

But I’d like lights out and other stuff in heresy more

jaunty fiber
#

I have materials to farm

vernal harbor
#

Sedition for Ye

jaunty fiber
#

rude

bleak tangle
#

should I??

vernal harbor
#

I’m not kidding lol

jaunty fiber
#

Look I can hold my own but I cannot hold the rest of the team's own too

vernal harbor
#

Okay sedition it’s all people who play auric damnation

#

They’re farming

jaunty fiber
#

I mean if I'm going to go down in levels I'm not going past malice

vernal harbor
jaunty fiber
#

Like that's asinine

#

omg give me that gun

#

I saw it first

#

But no that's sick, gz

vernal harbor
#

I wanted to try a gun so I did sedition and they never broke pace, full sprint, map over in 15 minutes

jaunty fiber
#

With how much actual plasteel banked?

bleak tangle
#

So it's salvageable?? I thought the perk+blessing is borked up

jaunty fiber
#

See that's my concern

#

I'll go ahead and take that stamina on a vet

wispy hinge
#

god i want more plasteel

jaunty fiber
#

Like no kappa

wispy hinge
#

i feel like an actual homeless person

jaunty fiber
#

We'd have more plasteel if consecratino didn't lean on it so hard

#

You could swap the plasteel and diamantine costs on that one thing and bandaid fix the material economy instantly

wispy hinge
#

im gunna replace hadrons hydration oil with vinegar

#

thatll teach her to stop wasting all my plasteel

vernal harbor
bleak tangle
#

yeah, I'd keep Hit&Run and +reload

vernal harbor
#

Mmm I take back my statement that’s pretty bricked and for 2400 melk bucks idk

bleak tangle
#

but I feel like my thinking alway have some flaw so I tend to ask you all first

vernal harbor
#

But that’s just me

#

I just looked at modifiers first glance

#

The perks and blessings are wild

bleak tangle
#

the modifier is very tempting lol

vernal harbor
#

Reload speed is whatever anyway since it’s a graia

#

Stamina might help something

jaunty fiber
#

Again I'd take the stamina any day

vernal harbor
#

Unfortunate perks and blessing

wispy hinge
#

if you use the aim down sights abilitiy itll be good probably

jaunty fiber
#

Especially on vet

#

It's not ideal obvi but it feels ok as a scuffed option when I gotta choose one

#

Like those base stats are not something I'd pass up

vernal harbor
#

But those 80s

jaunty fiber
#

Right?

vernal harbor
#

I’m a sucker for 80s

jaunty fiber
#

Exactly

bleak tangle
#

I feel like Melk read my mind and saw that I planned his murder today

wispy hinge
#

damn thats a good one

bleak tangle
#

like.... wft, coins ain't easy to find, man

strange sparrow
#

Perks is kinda mid but it’s alright if you’re into stripped down gameplay

bleak tangle
#

It no longer gave the speed boost so I kinda meh with SD now

vernal harbor
#

hadron dies first, barber second and melk third

polar kayak
#

thoughts on this?

vernal harbor
#

pass

bleak tangle
#

I like it tho, the purple gun

jaunty fiber
#

Useable but easily replacable

#

The gold blessing is the dealbreaker

vernal harbor
#

melk will just put up straight ass and stand there for 24 entire hours like an asshole

polar kayak
#

thanks, i'll just earn the blessing

bleak tangle
#

mostly because I ADS and see all shot miss because I tap head is funny

vernal harbor
#

has ghost always been on weak spot???

polar kayak
#

hitting weak spots is hard 😦 and on maulers hitting their head is not weak

bleak tangle
#

Did It work different from Laspistol? I use it on Zealot to close in for hammer

vernal harbor
#

autogun go brrrrrrrrr

#

just aim a little above their forhead for a crowd

#

BUZZZZZZZZZ

#

weak spots until atoma is saved

#

mowing the smelly lawn

clear narwhal
vernal harbor
#

that thumbnail lmao

wispy hinge
vernal harbor
#

but my main grenadier build runs that combo and i say good build regardless

fresh grail
#

Based autogun enjoyer 💪

wispy hinge
#

i dont like weapon specialist or that one where you stand still

#

those are just so underwhelming

fresh grail
#

build looks fine, i love the BRauto gun because its good out of the box so you can make a really customized build around it

clear narwhal
vernal harbor
#

Personally i dont use any keystones

wispy hinge
#

i like the small extra damage from the ping ability

#

it helps just a bit more

clear narwhal
fresh grail
#

mostly cause more allies in coherency means more ammo for you

#

And people think i pick it to be supportive Classic

clear narwhal
slate sleet
#

stinky build

fresh grail
#

powersword (with powercycler) and braced are good out of the box so really up to you

#

superiority complex is what i'd swap, 15% elite is nice but i'd rather have the aura radius

#

(if you really want a keystone)

clear narwhal
#

I do, like it a lot

vernal harbor
#

auric heresy, the exact same conditions for all three

#

<:I

fresh grail
tiny summit
vernal harbor
slate sleet
#

stripped down with a deadeye build whats the explanation

clear narwhal
#

If you guys like the build I'd appreciate an upvote to get it off the ground, not a big deal tho, thanks for the feedback.
#veteran-class message

fresh grail
#

but tbh with the Agri you can take any blessings, none of them are really a 'must-have' imo

#

so stripped down can work if its how you play personally

slate sleet
#

anti synergy with deadeye

fresh grail
#

that's a good point indeed

clear narwhal
#

is it?

fresh grail
#

how often do you deadeye i suppose. But yeah i can see better synergies

clear narwhal
#

It's deathspitter

fresh grail
#

the issue is the stripped-down activate condition, and with deadeye you'll be on low stamina often

you can just sprint slide to avoid ranged damage its why you took duck and dive right?

fresh grail
slate sleet
#

why do you need stripped down on top of it

fresh grail
#

duck and dive with stripped down works quite well

slate sleet
#

its unnessesary

clear narwhal
#

The duck and Dive & 2 stam regen, 3 sprint efficiency perks help with stam

slate sleet
#

you are overcompesation for something that is not a threat to begin with

clear narwhal
#

just stop running if you need stam for Deadshot*

fresh grail
#

Comes down to personal preference i'd say. BRauto works well with anything, but i don't know the guys playstyle, if he runs and guns a lot or hunkers down

clear narwhal
#

Assuming you mean Deadshot & not Deadeye

fresh grail
#

deadshot* yes, my bad

#

cowboy brained me, too much Red Dead

slate sleet
#

the build is not bad, its def not the worst ive seen but it just has a bunch of anti synergy

clear narwhal
#

It's nice not to have to play like an ADHD kid on Ritalin and just spam slide all the time :/

slate sleet
#

if you take 4%x3 cdr and have 6% on special kill you will shout nonstop

clear narwhal
#

Keep your team alive and get yourself some space to keep shooting

slate sleet
#

this make reciprocity worthless because nothing will even be hitting you

fresh grail
#

the way i do BRauto is (ab)use a lot of suppression so i never have to sprint slide. Coupled with the (totally) balanced toughness regen from the shout and you can just walk up 💪

slate sleet
#

how do you get crit chance from dodge if everything is either dead from powersword 1 swing or on the floor from shout?

clear narwhal
#

can get pretty hectic

fresh grail
#

If it works for you then why not

slate sleet
#

i never see value out of it

fresh grail
#

it doesn't proc on my builds either often (so i stopped taking it), but i do see a lot of people advocating for the talent so 🤷‍♂️

clear narwhal
#

stacks up to 5 times too

slate sleet
#

also not taking close quarters killzone on a build with 2 essentially melee range weapons is a weird decision

clear narwhal
#

and it's not just for melee

#

i think

torpid sundial
#

alright time to have fun

#

now

slate sleet
#

15% dmg for 10 sec on a basically 50% uptime is kinda insane

torpid sundial
#

whats a good knife

#

I have no idea what blessings or perks you need for knife

fresh grail
gusty bison

Who the F pinged me

slate sleet

does stripped down proc reciprocity

that's a very good question ObiThink

thats awesome

It procs both DnD and Reci

give it to me

didnt know it interacted that way

#

its a good blessing then for sure

gusty bison
fresh grail
#

i'll have to try it out for sure, to see how long you can keep the crit up

gusty bison
#

Has been this case for a year

torpid sundial
#

So it works for Ghost as well right?

clear narwhal
fresh grail
#

yeah, take the one on the left instead

slate sleet
clear narwhal
#

yeah that's a good one too

#

What would you swap for it?

#

Superiority complex?

fresh grail
#

what do you want, more melee, more ranged?

#

more nades?

slate sleet
#

i dont know i would not take weapon specialist or that side of the tree at all

#

but i guess its a hybrid build

clear narwhal
#

oh.. well. That'd be a different build altogher then

gusty bison
#

O.O

polar kayak
#

is veteran the best class?

slate sleet

Deadshot doesnt reduce spread

Not spread

Kraber has entered the chat

works on my agri build, i like the extra accuracy but thats cause i always dump at least 5+ bullets downrange. It has value for sure

torpid sundial
#

who's the knife guy here again

gusty bison
#

As a note

#

Its sway reduction

fresh grail

when spraying it is

someone give me a good knife build for weapon specialist

gusty bison

It doesnt really affect bracing either

clear narwhal
zealous wyvern
#

#

or sun

clear narwhal
#

Well, it makes it accurate enough for me to crossmap snipers so :/

gusty bison
#

I guess it reduces the side to side sway but unlike IAG its not random

zealous wyvern
#

@ sunriseparabellum

slate sleet
#

this is what id take to shoot agri brauto all game long

torpid sundial
torpid sundial
#

I want something a lil bit more flexible for weapon specialist

vernal harbor
#

and i get hate everytime i post it

fresh grail
#

burning stamina for the extra crit is nice too because (it feels like) it pierces through the horde a lot more, but again it comes down to personal preference. I quite like deadshot for killing the sniper thats 80m away quick, with a gun that has a lot of difficulty doing that normally.

torpid sundial
#

so you normally dont brace?

gusty bison
#

:c

fresh grail
#

Probably just the extra DPS killing elites then

gusty bison
#

And crits on brauto do basically nothing

fresh grail
slate sleet
#

deadshot is just a damage increase but the agri already does not struggle with shitting dmg

gusty bison
#

Cos it has one of the worst finesse in the game

#

Might be THE worst actually

clear narwhal
gusty bison
#

I think its like 1.3x

slate sleet
#

cringe sword needs 0 talents to do what it does

gusty bison
#

Which is terrible compared to the avg of 2.25x

torpid sundial
#

wondering if I should take onslaught just to be able to kill crushers easier with the agri braced

slate sleet
#

and grawr is right, the brautos have terrible crit scaling

#

i forgot about that tbh

dusty sluice
#

damn brunt

fresh grail
#

That's true, but any crit better than no crit. Doesn't get as much value as other guns out of it for sure

slate sleet
fresh grail
#

deadshot for me personally is just purely the sway reduction, and i like spraying too much

dusty sluice
torpid sundial

Okay can knife kill carapace KEKW_ogryn

slate sleet

yes

slate sleet

it 2 shots carap

gusty bison

Push attacks and heavies shred cara

I also just really like the Power sword, whatever lets me be as effective as I can with these particular weapons makes me happy

slate sleet

everyone has a cringe redditor powersword phase

you will grow out of it

It was an odd change of pace from switching to melee, to actively special-stabbing everything

trim hemlock

(Or both?)

umbral scaffold
umbral scaffold
trim hemlock
#

Grawr got the options right, then

umbral scaffold
#

plasma gun is a garuanteed s weapon with it being a heavy weapon yes that i agree

trim hemlock
#

Helbro is SLEPT ON

umbral scaffold

but i mean rifles

umbral scaffold

surgical and onsluaght on a gun that has a flat stat of 8 sharge ammo use on a 105 capacity gun

#

with a melee attachment that stacks with your melee perks

#

and also has stagger with a quick reload and a good damage drop off with great break points

trim hemlock
#

From the objective POV, I don’t think Helbros outclass the revolver (because the revolver is just karking stupid in damage department + is usable on all human classes), but there certainly are moments where Helbro is preferred over a revolver

#

With them being a melee/ranged hybrid certainly adding some flavour and flexibility

gusty bison
#

Best longarm atm is Columnus IAG if ur looking for full auto/burstfire

#

Helbore if not

Why position well and get rewarded for it when you can just delete the horde and 3 specials in it

#

I really don't care about them, I will pick what I like and thats it

trim hemlock
#

I know for instance what’s the state of all Ogryn weapons and where they fall short, or where they over perform

gusty bison
#

I.e. its a skill pancake

#

That doesnt necessarily mean its super good in terms of power levels

umbral scaffold
#

as a heavy weapon

gusty bison
#

Yes but no rather

#

Its easier than bolter

#

Thats for sure

rose drum
#

I guess youre right

#

Something can be both bad and easy

gusty bison
#

But bolter has some quirks like 1 shotting ragers. Going ammo neutral. Boss busting, etc

#

Id say a well played bolter can come close to a plasma

#

Thing is you need to put in 5x the effort

umbral scaffold
#

bolter can shoot through walls

#

has better ammo economy and crit rate

gusty bison
#

Plasma's main thing is it ignores suppression and stagger, has no recoil or sway or spread, and infinite cleave

timid otter
#

Bolter usally requires more talents to be invested into making it function then the plasma

gusty bison
#

But if u can play around those. Bolter has better breakpoints than plasma

fossil basalt
#

Waiting for the day mis-venting your plasma gun has a 1% chance to instantly melt your face off Sitgryn

gusty bison
#

Its just playing around those requires effort

timid otter
#

Thats in my opinion why bolter doesn’t feel great.

gusty bison
#

Also its not brain dead

rancid ginkgo
timid otter
#

When i actually get to the point of making bolter work im mostly out of talent points.

gusty bison
#

Fair

timid otter
#

Plasma meanwhile gets atleast 5 points to spread around.

rancid ginkgo
#

Bolter is a great ideea but unfortunate execution

#

Imo

gusty bison
#

Execution is solid I think tbh

#

Maybe can have a few QoL buffs

#

But bolter is a solid weapon

#

People are just spoilt by revolver

#

Which is broken

rancid ginkgo
#

Yes, up to 15m

gusty bison
#

Try 120

#

Bolter has no falloff

In fact with longshot it has ramp up

if you can spare the points, the +30 stam for dodging an attack means that bolter has almost constant deadshot uptime

How to take cover

Whats positioning?

But like the thing about plasma is it also has very little to improve on as u get better

untold mulch
#

btw I have a question of utmost importance

#

Why Bolter has 4 dodges

#

and Brauto has 2

gusty bison
#

It doesnt scale well with player skill

is the autogun HEAVIER!?

just because its less easy to use a lot less people use it

#

Brauto sounds like its under 50

sharp ember
#

it should show you the upper limit regardless i think

gusty bison
#

But ye bolter has +1 dodge iirc over brauto

fresh grail
#

Mine is the same as his, brauto has 2 dodges and bolter 4.

torpid sundial
#

Every time someone says Brauto I keep thinking Boruto

I do think sometimes of the Braton of Warframe

agri brautos? wonder if there may be a pattern difference if you check graia or columnus

gusty bison
#

Even the IAGs

untold mulch
#

Anyways, bolter has silly dodge KEKW_ogryn

#

and I love it

#

because it allows me to dance while sniping specials

gusty bison
#

Its v nice to bolter dance ye

untold mulch
#

Gib me a second, poxwalker, you will get your emperor mercy allowance after I deal with the bomber

torpid sundial
#

I’d use bolter a lot more if it had 30% more ammo and equip speed a lil bit faster

fresh grail
#

as to why that is, only the shark knows

gusty bison
#

Bolter atm has enough ammo tbh. A slightly faster equip I think no one will complain about

untold mulch
gusty bison
#

As long as it isnt as fast as the IAGs

torpid sundial
#

But like

gusty bison
#

Or iLas

torpid sundial
#

I want to use bolter to unload into hordes

gusty bison
#

...

sharp ember
torpid sundial
#

And I cant do that with current ammo

untold mulch
#

running scavenger

torpid sundial
gusty bison
#

Cos lile

#

Thats not +30% ammo

#

Thats like

untold mulch
#

I would like a lighter Bolter variant though

fresh grail
#

survivalist + 25% extra ammo and you can do it quite well. Not as braindead as with a BRauto but its quite ammo efficient

gusty bison
#

+1000% ammo

timid otter
#

Bolter has terrible damage vs infested.

untold mulch
torpid sundial
#

It has decent cleave which is why

untold mulch
#

you should be 50+%

gusty bison
#

Fortunately theres only 3 infested enemies

vernal harbor
#

When you running scavenger but the whole squad splits in 4 directions killing elites away from you 🤕

torpid sundial
#

Its really satisfying

sharp ember
#

that’s why we make poxhounds catch chainswords instead of bolt rounds in their teeth

fresh grail
untold mulch
#

they just don't get dodges

#

Brauto t hat should be used in close

fresh grail
#

don't need it when you suppress the enemies enough i suppose, which is why i havent noticed the lack of it too much. But it is very odd why its different

untold mulch

Suppresion is nice

#

they fear the crabwalking brauto vet

#

who tf is crabwalking with brauto

#

I magdump hordes with Bolter if we are at the end nad there is ammo to spare

gusty bison
#

Aye

torpid sundial
#

Its like me trying to use my ripper gun with ogryn on hordes

#

Because its fun

gusty bison
#

Ngl its kinda unfun to play with someone that constantly dumps hordes with bolters though

#

Or rippers

#

Or kickback

fresh grail
#

If i'm survivalist vet then they can go at it

gusty bison
#

Or p12 shredder

torpid sundial
#

Also yeah obviously I don’t do it if the team is using ammo as well

gusty bison
#

Not just ammo but like

sharp ember
#

kickback getting to do it the whole game when survivalist is active chadgryn

gusty bison
#

Someone dumping hordes with ranged and killing them all kinda makes the other three people twiddle their thumbs for a good chunk of the mission

#

We've had this issue several times

torpid sundial
#

I don’t really care

gusty bison
#

P12 Shredder was the worst case.

#

Where it was horrendously unfun to play with shredder abusers on the team

fresh grail
#

Doesn't sound like an issue you run into in quickplay i suppose

torpid sundial
#

I’ve been running melee vet with autopistol and its pretty good

gusty bison
#

Since P12 there hasnt been a weapon broken enough to clear hordes at a rate P12 shredder did

fresh grail
#

fair enough

gusty bison
#

So its no longer an issue

sharp ember
#

good ol ius autopistol with +100% pinning fire damage

gusty bison
#

But an efficient horde clear ranged weapon kinda runs into the P12 shredder problem

sharp ember
#

hit like an agri brauto while being twice as nimble and more accurate

gusty bison
#

I mean P13 recon was that

#

It was meh into elites and specials

#

But u could shoot forever into hordes

#

And it was annoying to play with a vet that did just that

torpid sundial
#

I dont care

#

As long as everyone is doing their part

gusty bison
#

It wasnt OP, just frustrating for a lot of people

torpid sundial
#

I don’t think many people care either

sharp ember
#

me recreating the wheeled volleygun scene from astartes

gusty bison
#

Nah it was a pretty common complaint at P13

#

Cos a lot of recon vets werent doing much except making the game harder for their melee allies

torpid sundial
#

How is it making the game harder

gusty bison
#

Less hordes = less toughness for melee chars + more exposure to ranged elites

trim hemlock
#

Getting distracted from being shot in the back angymorrow

gusty bison
#
  • easier for multiple elites to gang up on one guy
trim hemlock
#

But yeah, primarily due to hordes dying from recon lasfire

sharp ember
#

i wouldn’t say having infinite rending ammo made things harder, other than lacking shot stagger

#

anything you had a firing angle on and sufficient time died

gusty bison
#

Basically the lower the horde to elite ratio, the harder the game

gusty bison
#

Remember people pick weapons for braindeadness

torpid sundial
#

The melee only auric missions are pretty easy though

gusty bison
#

And P13 Recon was popular for braindead horde dumping

sharp ember
#

that being said, recon reverse falloff getting sacked was a good thing in my book

#

not shocktrooper crit strings though

gusty bison
#

Hordes are an easy source of cover and toughness

#

And rarely an actual threat

torpid sundial
#

Idk I feel that the game’s easier without any hordes and only elites

umbral scaffold
#

i mean its a big projectile

gusty bison
#

Plasma needs some level of skill scaling somewhere

#

Doesnt have to be the aim complexity

torpid sundial
#

Smaller projectile, less cleave, some falloff damage, requires right mouse charge to effectively kill carapace

#

Good enough

gusty bison
#

Nah that doesnt make it more complex

#

Just weaker

torpid sundial
#

It doesnt have to be more complex

gusty bison
#

Ok i guess it requiring a bit more aim

#

Atm its a skill pancake

#

So balancing is hard

torpid sundial
#

When its a skill pancake just make it somewhat above average compared to other options

#

Like

#

Surge staff for psyker is pretty much that

gusty bison
#

Nah surge staff is below avg

torpid sundial
#

It really isn’t

gusty bison
#

Compared to Void?

#

Trauma?

torpid sundial
#

Yes
