Isn't a rager like 1400hp?

gusty bison
#

Cos those arent perma on

#

No

glacial yacht
#

i have maniac and elite damage on mine and it does

gusty bison
#

Lol

#

2k

serene sage
#

Yeah

#

1400 is dreg gunners

gusty bison
#

With a 0.85x headshot multiplier

glacial yacht
#

i can one shot everything but ogryns without a crit

jovial aurora
#

They so ezpz to clap tho. Carapace armor goes hard apparently

gusty bison
#

Yea no

glacial yacht
#

and flak ragers

gusty bison
#

Bullshit

glacial yacht
#

and maulers lol

gusty bison
#

Maulers

glacial yacht
#

sorry forgot those

gusty bison
#

Oh u miss the flak rager BP

#

Yea bolter hits both at once

glacial yacht
#

and mutant lol

jovial aurora
slow forum
#

I don’t understand, revolver bullets pass right through the enemy and therefore count as a miss?

serene orbit
#

gotcha, yeah

glacial yacht
#

lmb i mean

gusty bison
#

Cos its faster to just lmb twice

#

Rmb on plasma is worthless atm

#

Except for + cara plasmas where ok u can 1 shot crusher wooo

muted prairie
#

fellow shootman enjoyers, is there a consensus on plasma vs revolver? i've usually been a plasma guy but i've been trying revolver and it seems pretty good

jovial aurora
#

I mean for pretenses of one shotting

#

It should be allowed in the argument lol

gusty bison
glacial yacht
#

wild statement

serene orbit
#

bolter is if you just wanna suffer for fun

#

(me)

jovial aurora
#

In that case can volver easily one tap without rmb?

muted prairie
#

is there a canon reason why regular revolver bullets do so much damage

tall torrent
tiny summit
serene orbit
gusty bison
#

So itd equal ammo usage

tall torrent
#

So you’re gonna need 9 ammo anyways

#

One charged shot to head is 9 ammo and would instantly kill crusher

terse idol
#

If you miss a shot you'll need to make up 10 shots

gusty bison
terse idol
#

That's what I'm trying to convey

tiny summit
#

Sure a crit or Longshot doesn't kick in for the 2 shot?

gusty bison
#

So just fire the plasma lmb 2-3x

gusty bison
#

Longshot just barelt negates it

terse idol
#

Its not the end of the world if you miss, but if you miss you're gonna need to work harder to bring back your accuracy to 90%

gusty bison
#

Plasma has garbage finesse

tall torrent
#

Charge plasma is only worth it to kill 1 crusher and to have enough heat so you bring a lot of value out of gets hot very quickly

#

That’s it

gusty bison
#

So crits arent that big

serene sage
tall torrent
#

Like rager 1 shot

glacial yacht
#

i love revolver but theres a lot to be said about reload time

tiny summit
#

In a real game, the crusher probably took team damage so...1-3 shots

glacial yacht
#

plasma can shoot for days

gusty bison
#

Volver doesnt reload

glacial yacht
#

on revolver

tall torrent
#

Unless ur talking bodyshot

gusty bison
jovial aurora
gusty bison
#

I was thinking of finesse headshot

jovial aurora
#

Sarcasm lol

gusty bison
#

With volver u run wep spec

glacial yacht
#

yeah you still reload a bunch

gusty bison
#

So u never reload

#

Ever

glacial yacht
#

omg ok

jovial aurora
gusty bison
jovial aurora
#

Honestly not worth giving up the tag

gusty bison
#

It also combos perfectly with agile engagement

terse idol
#

Well "don't need to" assuming you only fire 1 or so shots when you switch sweatbold

glacial yacht
#

heres the one shot noncrit on rager i was talking about

gusty bison
#

Which is another insane build

tall torrent
gusty bison

Please dont try to bullshit us

glacial yacht

glacial yacht
#

how do you screen record

terse idol
#

I've tested crusher BP's using print screen the text doesn't change to yellow

midnight totem
#

That's a crit

gusty bison
#

Print screen doesnt magically change colours

glacial yacht
#

it literally does on mine i swear lmao

terse idol
#

Wait wait aait

#

If it does

#

All your tezt

jovial aurora
# glacial yacht im really not

Just give up man this person was saying earlier that revolvers problem is cleave not damage, and to them everyone runs weapons spec lol. You ain't gonna win this argument they just gonna keep going

They're both alt+z

glacial yacht

ok one sec

tall torrent
#

Alt+Z to open GeForce overlay, record screen

jovial aurora
#

Or control shift s for screenie

tall torrent
#

Be aware that GeForce record will include any Nvidia filters you have applied to your game

jovial aurora
#

Control shift r to record

#

As well

glacial yacht
tall torrent
#

If you’re one of those people that unironically play on 100 saturation your recording will look as weird as your game

glacial yacht
#

jovial aurora

idk what that is

tall torrent
jovial aurora
#

It's a video encoder

glacial yacht
#

good lord

jovial aurora
#

Download fast it's small and free

glacial yacht
#

do i just put my nvidia vid in there

gusty bison
#

.mp4?

jovial aurora
#

Just drag the vid into that select fast 1080/30fps

gusty bison
#

Sure

jovial aurora
#

It'll automatically set to mp4 I think

#

Right now its prolly av1

glacial yacht

Hit the green button

glacial yacht

gusty bison
glacial yacht
#

i cant one shot those i said already

terse idol
#

Yes shoot it

gusty bison
#

Yea and i said thats the diff betweem plas and bolter

#

Bolter can 1 tap both

glacial yacht

gusty bison

Plas cannot hit both bps

glacial yacht

gusty bison
gusty bison
glacial yacht

charred dirge
#

Sorry to be asking this here but does anybody know to fix darktide from crashing because of shaders cache?

terse idol
glacial yacht
#

why would i lie when i can clearly one shot without crit

terse idol
#

🥹

#

Do a few tests my fren

gusty bison
#

^

#

Its likely u didnt notice it was a crit

#

But like

#

Thats a fucking crit

glacial yacht
#

i did mulitple screenshots all on noncrits and all turn yellow

serene sage
#

Just do it again then

gusty bison
#

Uh huh

serene sage
#

Though I do think Plasma can one shot Ragers

gusty bison
#

It can 1 shot ONE of the two ragers

wicked zenith
#

It can

serene sage
#

So idk

gusty bison
#

But not both

tall torrent
#

Flak rager could, with crit or with flak I think?

glacial yacht
gusty bison
#

Not without exec or ability boost

tall torrent
#

With flak it gets pretty close?

glacial yacht
#

crit vs noncrit

wicked zenith
#

Plasma or the Hellbore alot of things can oneshot ragers.

glacial yacht
#

both yellow

#

when i screenshot

#

s my d

gusty bison
#

Ok ur computer is just bad

terse idol
#

What the hell

#

Oh my god

glacial yacht
#

again

forest blaze
#

I’m fuckin dead

tall torrent
#

Helbore 1 with flak + elite can 1 HS non-crit scab rager

gusty bison
#

Ye that doesnt happen to anyone else

glacial yacht
#

written apology lmao

forest blaze
#

This is the funniest shit

gusty bison
terse idol
#

I aint writing nothing, your puter is broke

gusty bison
#

No one is apologizing for ur computer being shit lol

terse idol
glacial yacht
#

i have no idea why it does that lmao

serene sage
glacial yacht
#

maybe from a mod or something

serene sage
#

am i crazy

tall torrent
# glacial yacht

Damn
Ever considered updating Nvidia graphics drivers or smth
Never seen that in my life

serene sage
#

does it increase with heat?

#

like the shade

glacial yacht
forest blaze
#

Yah

terse idol
#

Yeah it gets red

serene sage
#

how have I not noticed this before KEKW_ogryn

terse idol
#

If you're hot

#

Like me

serene sage
#

I am hot

terse idol
serene sage
#

or so ive been told

forest blaze
#

It goes white to yellow to Orange to red

glacial yacht
#

someone else screen shot a non crit headshot and see what it doese

#

idk why mine turns yellow

terse idol
#

Its white

forest blaze
tall torrent
#

Maybe a weird color setting somewhere?

terse idol
#

Here

tall torrent
#

Never seen that before

terse idol
#

You see how some of these are yellow and some are white

serene sage
#

headshot should be orange

#

crit is yellow

#

kill is red

wicked zenith
#

You can get crit quite high with a plasma, so if it is a crit isn't so relevant

serene sage
#

that's how I think of it

#

here is another example

glacial yacht
#

omg im aware what color they should be. mine doesnt show the correct color when i screen shot only in real game

tiny summit
#

Plasma ammo usage should increase with heat level whatthefuck_heresy

wicked zenith
tall torrent
glacial yacht
#

not that important i gfuess it only makes my honesty called into question lmao

serene sage
#

well I remember plasma one tapping ragers regardless

jovial aurora
# terse idol Here

Man I swear some of yall never heard of transcoding before and it shows

wicked zenith
#

Non-crit or weakspot hit.

serene sage
#

it can dpeends on your distance and talents as well

gusty bison
glacial yacht
serene sage
jovial aurora
gusty bison
#

So its either flak or maniac rager

#

Not both at once

wicked zenith
serene sage
gusty bison
#

Plasma has falloff

serene sage
#

let me go home and test

tall torrent
jovial aurora
gusty bison
wicked zenith
gusty bison
#

I cant rmb maniac

serene sage
#

i vaguely remember you can tap both

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t falloff on maniac and flak

serene sage
gusty bison
serene sage
#

im just confused KEKW_ogryn

glacial yacht
#

i gotta go to work sorry to confuse everyone

wicked zenith
#

@serene sage I meaning it's a normal hit, not a weakspot or a crit. You can oneshote ragers without any damage buffs on the gun.

jovial aurora
#

I could get all techy but it's better to record at higher resolution and handbrake down to a manageable size rather than recording at a lower res than native

terse idol
#

Because I've never seen this

jovial aurora
terse idol
jovial aurora
#

Oh you mean it's not pretty and crazy advanced ui?

#

They have ones for that but it's better to just learn handbrake lol

serene sage
terse idol
#

Huh?
Sorry I'm confused

This isn't my hud

I should playing fighting games regularly again

frank basin

Is a burnout to play game regular for 20 mission

terse idol

No

I mean

crude ermine

At least I'm good at both of those things now

terse idol
#

That's an addiction

crude ermine

But OW

jovial aurora

I really gotta get out of this dorktide slump

frank basin
#

Dorktide

crude ermine
#

Wait

#

How long was I on NA servers

jovial aurora
#

Been meaning to finish cyberpunk

#

But

#

I NEED THAT BETTER ILLISE

sterile wadi
#

Man Palworld is fun

jovial aurora
#

Slaughterer 4 has been fucking cruel to me

#

I got a literally perfect deimos yesterday

frank basin
#

Righteous slaughter 7

jovial aurora
#

Then hadron gave it +2 stam and weakspot and a shit blessing but it did get deflector 4

#

So I did this to it in silent protest

frank basin
#

Lmao

jovial aurora
#

Game took a perfect sword and made me turn it into a shield

wicked zenith
#

I trashes so items till I got the 1 literal perfect which was one of those deimos.

jovial aurora
#

I had no clue that deimos was this savage tho

wicked zenith
#

@jovial aurora

jovial aurora
#

Tbh not having damage annoints on it isn't the end of the world

#

Fucker is a menace all on its own

frank basin
wicked zenith
#

Wildfire rarely goes off as it oneshots alot of stuff. It does work when it doesn't one-shot yes like on bosses muties or orgyns. You literally don't want breakpoints for 1 shot's if you are going for wildfire.

jovial aurora
#

Yeah the sword one taps almost everything short of mauler without damage perks lmfao

wicked zenith
#

Wildfire helps make up on maulers etc, just never do the charge (warp charge) attack it's a dps loss and wildfire proc loss, and it puts you in a stupid get wtfpwned unable to act mode

jovial aurora
#

The actual weapon does this too

wicked zenith
#

The evis has a reason for it, but it's a sole blessing, IF you rev it and stun a crusher they will die from a one-shot when built right, but it will be from the bleed.

#

(the older evis Idk anything on the new one)

frank basin
#

New one attack pattern is cc

jovial aurora
#

Have you tried the eviscerating poke on demos?

white minnow
#

special h1 and special h2 do the same damage

wicked zenith
#

the old one has a cc pattern too, I forgot how to start it but it goes light Heavy and it is two wide arc hits.

frank basin
#

Old one is mixed

wicked zenith
#

like two baseball bat swings

jovial aurora
#

I don't understand how people like the eviscerator

#

It's so slow lol

#

Almost have to get a speedy gun to run with

wicked zenith
#

The bleed oneshot mechanic is fun

jovial aurora
#

I like hsword and crits lol

wicked zenith
#

or the speed demon build

jovial aurora
#

Oh so you could probably get away with Rev it up and bloodletting

wicked zenith
#

I don't think any other weapon has Rev it up.

jovial aurora
#

Axes and swords have it

trim steppe
#

all the chain weapons have rev it up

wicked zenith
#

It's really bad unless you are just running speed run match.

jovial aurora
#

Idk if it don't feel good it's not fun to me

wanton dawn
#

I genuinely have more success this week with bayonet than my other meta build in maelstrom KEKW_ogryn

jovial aurora
#

Evis is slow as shit

wicked zenith
#

It feel good to dodge alot of spawns as you outrun alot of the mobs. You can clear way faster but pugs don't speed run.

jovial aurora
#

Or just feels like it idk

wicked zenith
#

But killing it's like bleh in mud.

#

The other one is fine, not great not bad. FUn to grind into crushers like a boss.

jovial aurora
#

Either way thoroughly impressed by the power of the deimos

junior needle
#

What are all the witches doing in the vet channel

wicked zenith
#

I play everthing pretty much equally

modest sapphire
#

what is a "salvo" in blessing terms on a weapon

wicked zenith
#

Burst

jovial aurora
#

Except ogryn

#

Haven't found a niche for him that I thoroughly enjoy yet

wicked zenith
#

Orgyns get stupid toughness and health def. You can literally walk through stuff with one build. Although killing is a different manner (you do cc alot by knocking them down)

jovial aurora
#

Just got kickback and mkv shovel and that's pretty much what mine does lol

wicked zenith
#

Kickback or rumbler, and Knife or Club is mine.

jovial aurora
#

Although I find myself wishing other ogryns were running something similar when they are running a oddball build

junior needle
jovial aurora
#

Salvo is weird on semis tho cuz you can tap it pretty back to back without ruining Salvo

jovial aurora
languid terrace
#

Been looking through Scion's codex. Is this the one those Scab gunner use?

wicked zenith
#

@jovial aurora Every orgyn build I use has the charge I can't stand to be without it.

#

One of the two shotgunners use the same gun as we do, but it has a drum mag. It could be either the medium or light variant, Color-wise it sure as hell isn't brown to be the heavy (They may of changed it since I last paid close attention)

frank ether
#

why does the damage stat make very little diff for rashad

wanton dawn
hollow ibex
#

hmm how's this?

frank ether
#

good

#

no need to change anything

hollow ibex
#

i heard FF wasn't very good or something

#

oh wait bruh

#

these are the only blessings for braced?

#

so no sutained fire that i'd prob want on agri IAG or dumdum

#

💀

#

thought braced gets sustained fire / dumdum too

junior needle
#

Sus fire would be pretty bad on brautos

#

Bugged dumdum would be great though

hollow ibex
#

for sus fire can't you just stop firing for a sec and then a new salvo would start?

#

might be misunderstanding salvos

#

haven't tested it myself

junior needle
#

Yes, but you typically want to keep firing them in the ranges they excel at. While you can burst fire the agri fairly effectively for shooters, it doesn't exactly need help there.

hollow ibex
#

yeah fair

junior needle
#

This is the issue of salvo blessings on full auto oriented guns (recons have salvo blessings too)

hollow ibex
#

resetting the salvo is a dps loss

#

ok, fixed the gun

#

i feel much better about it now

bitter turtle
#

Can run stripped down if you want tho

hollow ibex
#

no wonder hadron didn't brick it immediately

junior needle
#

Ff is fine, the damage is not actually limited by range currently

#

Checked it myself

frank ether
#

and its not bad

sonic marlin
#

how good is this

junior needle
#

They should revert close range to 15m

frank ether
#

%100

#

7m is a joke

umbral scaffold
#

I remember when dumdum was described as close range

#

I found out it was infinite and started telling everyone

junior needle
#

You have some wiggle room depending on how much damage you take in the tree

#

But 69 damage is not a good start

sonic marlin
#

i think someone told me i need 75+

#

or 70+

#

what a shame

bitter turtle
frank ether
bitter turtle
#

Based on the wording

sonic marlin
#

finally done

junior needle
#

It works up to 25m

#

With declining effectiveness the further you go

bitter turtle
#

That might explain why I didn't notice a difference with it testing at long ranges then

junior needle
#

Should be kept like that, close range damage is stupid as a concept

frank ether
#

just buff close damage back to 15m

#

it might even make speedload not garbage

#

that also uses close damage kills no

bitter turtle
#

Does speedload still not work with melee kill anymore

#

That was actually good

#

Idk why they changed it

frank ether
#

I dont know why fs does anything they do

#

it went from being an actual option to garbage tier

umbral scaffold
#

Because we can't have shit in Atoma

frank ether
#

why would fartshart take some niche blessing

#

and shart all over it

#

I do not know

bitter turtle
#

Speedload sainted gunslinger revolver on zealot was actually cool

serene sage
#

F S
It's in the name

#

what

umbral scaffold
#

Before the change I used surgical and speedload on revolver

serene sage
umbral scaffold
#

May we one day have TWBS and dance of death be the talents preceding sainted gunslinger

bitter turtle
#

All the reload talents combined with speedload makes you put bullets back into gun veri fast

serene sage
#

thank you KEKW_ogryn

serene sage
#

is reload that big on revolver? my impression is that you quip it out to kill specials and that's about it for zealot?

#

so you can reload in downtime

frank ether
#

or well, I'm sure someone does

umbral scaffold
#

I mean, yeah but also what if you need to shoot 6 times

bitter turtle
#

Most people still ran surgical

#

But I liked it for the comfy

#

Sometimes there's more specials than boolet

#

And you reload fast enough that a single push gave you enough space when the two stacked to get a full clip back

frank ether
#

Anyway

#

I'll cease bitching

#

been playing bolter on and off lately

untold mulch
frank ether
#

I'm trying really hard to understand why people think bolter is a bad gun

bitter turtle
#

But before it made more sense

untold mulch
frank ether
#

I played bolter/combat axe for my entire session today and basically went around one/two shotting elites entire day and absolutely decimating bosses

#

I dont even use exec stance

compact oak
#

Recommendations on what I should change on this?

untold mulch
#

Sustained fire and I guess specialists

frank ether
#

the little bit of shake doesnt feel bad

#

given it can two shot bodyshot gunners

untold mulch
frank ether
#

or even one shot

untold mulch
#

The shake is weird

frank ether
#

its a big bulky thing that can bodyshot murk gunners

untold mulch
#

Sometimes it feels like the gun just went its own way

#

My problem is that is not consistent

frank ether
#

its a little rng sometimes

untold mulch
#

Slmetimes it feels like it bugs out

frank ether
#

yea it could be more consistent

trim steppe
frank ether
#

but its not like

#

so bad you cant use it

#

is my point

untold mulch
#

Fair

frank ether
#

its annoying sure but hardly a real problem

serene sage
#

a speedrun I did 5 years ago was asked about
I wanna cry 😭

manic vortex
#

which should i go for? One has better stats and the one with worse stats can get headtaker iv or unarmored enemies to 25%

frank ether
#

I'd take the second one

untold mulch
#

At least to me it throws me off

#

But not breaking

#

Just very annoying

frank ether
frank ether
#

line up shots

#

It works good for surgical

#

I still play deadshot surgical

serene sage
#

kinda based

frank ether
#

best part is its a ''support'' build

untold mulch
#

Deadshot surgical same

#

I like it

#

Is a dmr that I actually like

#

"dmr"

frank ether
#

fat dmr

#

you trade vraks stability for

#

very fat bodyshot damage

#

boss dmg

#

and well, suppression I guess

#

for whatever its worth

serene sage
#

vraks also has higher mag count

untold mulch
serene sage
#

though if you actually hit 15/15 shots

#

then most engagements are like half way over

frank ether
#

15 vs 22 something with vraks 7 yeah

serene sage
#

yeah

frank ether
#

I think mag capacity is

#

well its ok

#

could be higher

serene sage
#

17 would be sweet

frank ether
#

yeah a little love wouldn't hurt

bitter turtle
#

Just put a bayonet on bolter

#

Gun fixed

Yes I can

#

You can't stop me

Alrighty thanks Hadron

Why is everyone playing veterans, suddenly? It's been three days since I've been randomly grouped with anything but veterans (with the occasional zealot)

As far as statistics are concerned, people who haven't tried Vet since the rework are probably (finally) getting around to it since we're still in-between updates

fallen compass
#

I’m new to the game and it’s the only class I’ve tried so far

odd merlin
#

What lvl r u?

fallen compass
odd merlin
#

Best advice for new vets is make sure you take demolition stockpile. It's the most powerful talent in the game.

fallen compass
#

Sounds useful, I often even forget to use grenades lol

bitter turtle
#

1 shredder for crowd control knockdown

#

2 for room wipe

odd merlin
#

Yes! Your grenades are key to higher lvl play. Getting one every sixty seconds is $$$

upbeat loom
#

Voice of command is also a very intuitive ability that will allow you to make many more mistakes w/o being too punished while you learn. And makes you very useful to the team w/o any effort.

odd merlin
#

Shredders are great for clearing hordes and crowd control. Kraks stick to armored carapace and unyeilding. Both are very powerful. USe them as often a you can.

How do y'all like running the knife? I was thinking that getting bleed from talents should let you take Mercy Killer AND Uncanny strike. In my testing, it's killing crushers and maulers in 3 hits, or two if I get a crit. Seems like pretty insane damage to me.

odd merlin
#

I like using mercy killer and lacerate on mine.

solar sky
#

That's what I used to run, but if you take serrated blade, you will get the bleed from ANY hit

#

Wondering if I'm onto something with this

upbeat loom
#

Lacerate is great for consistent horde dps, uncanny is also nutty, keeping the uncanny buff up while applying lacerate sucks.

odd merlin
#

I also like pairing it with the camo mod for the focus keystone. Those heavy attacks get me moving quick so I can keep my focus charges.

upbeat loom
#

If you take the crit nodes on the bottom right (on dodge and flat) I'd say go flesh tearer and uncanny.

crude ermine
#

Well

solar sky
#

That's what I did. Gonna play one with it soon, but I think this is pretty nasty for a setup. 60% weakspot damage after ANY one hit combined with rending from uncanny is MURDERING any elite I try it on

crude ermine
#

Silent poxburster strikes again

solar sky
#

Went infiltrate, kraks, and Focus

upbeat loom
#

Flesh tearer and repost also works, but obviously dodge conditional, so you need to keep that up.

odd merlin
#

Riposte is great to pair with back stabbing.

terse idol
#

Certainly why it's probably one of the strongest ults for vet

upbeat loom
#

Yup, great for any new player finding their feet.

crude ermine
#

Yep

#

Whilst I do believe exe stance can help with a player's positioning but it doesn't come close as the ease of use of VOC

solar sky
#

This is the build I'm thinking of using

odd merlin
#

VoC is clutch for those emergency reloads as well

crude ermine
#

I'd slap on iron will

#

For that build

upbeat loom
#

I'd always have iron will period.

crude ermine
#

It's a must have

#

Because of how dumb it is

upbeat loom
#

Stronks.

solar sky
#

I could drop close order killzone for it, but I've found I dont usually need it with infiltrate

odd merlin
#

You can also use it to push enemies into range of explosions

solar sky
#

Or surprise attack

#

since it only lasts 5 seconds

fallen compass
#

Thanks for the advice my fellow warhammer enjoyers

upbeat loom
#

So looks like your aim with this build is to mostly be shooting non armored threats, tap big stuff with knife for bleed and then spam heavies/push attacks and abuse mercy killer and uncanny. My big question is does mercy killer proc from the first hit due to serrated blade or does it take two?

solar sky
#

it takes two

#

but you can hit anywhere

#

and it applies the bleed

#

also, good summery, that is exactly what i'm thinking to do

upbeat loom
#

Yup. My thought is bleed stacks tick off so fast applying one and getting the damage bonus from mercy killer likely only occurs on larger elites you're spamming on. If you're knifing a bunch of horde as well, it might be better overall to drop mercy for flesh tearer.

#

And obv iron will, the rest is looking good imo.

solar sky
#

That's a good point

#

I'll have to test it out and see if hordes are an issue

#

If they are, i'll try the mk4 since its heavys kill hordes fast

upbeat loom
#

I doubt they're an issue, you could keep mercy w/o a problem, but just general clear speed might be higher.

umbral scaffold
#

All my homies hate iron will

odd merlin
#

Also consider suppression of graoners and pox walkers. they will stop in place and cower if not ranged.

trim steppe
#

If I play a normal damnation maelstrom I-E-F and an auric damnation maelstrom I-E-F, is there a difference?

umbral scaffold
#

Suppressing hordes is anti-halal

zealous depot
umbral scaffold
#

The new heavy laspistol seems pretty nice. Hows it hold up in 5/Auric?

odd merlin
#

Good if you're accurate enough.

white minnow
bitter turtle
#

but if you must take mercy killer, yes, get serrated from talents

#

uncanny strike is non-negotiable

umbral scaffold
#

Precog lasting 2 seconds is a big oofie tho

#

Funny damage, but sometimes having a more consistent lower damage is nicer

bitter turtle
#

you are playing knife

#

when are you not dodging

upbeat loom
#

They're playing a bit more ranged focused so likely not consistantly in the front, and if stuff gets locked down or otherwise CCed you aren't dodging.

umbral scaffold
#

When the game decides it didn't count

bitter turtle
#

if you're up close with knife

#

you simply have to dodge

#

on knife

#

that's just how the weapon works

#

you dont exactly cleave through hordes

umbral scaffold
#

If the game wishes to grace you with a dodge proc, yes

bitter turtle
#

this is the first time ive heard of dodge procs getting ghosted so 🤷

upbeat loom
#

It honestly just doesn't have great uptime at 2 sec on a ranged focused build imo

wintry cove
#

just started playing vet what is combat blade good for lol

bitter turtle
ebon umbra
bitter turtle
#

unless you're one of those ppl who think knives are good at horde clear

#

you take knife for mobility

upbeat loom
#

That's not quite true.

wintry cove
#

i see i see

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

so your gun has to pick up the slack

wintry cove
#

yeah it was fun to go fast

umbral scaffold
#

They're competent at it

wintry cove
#

i liked the knife flipping when i sprinted too

bitter turtle
#

elite killing? yes

#

horde clearing

#

no

#

they really are not

umbral scaffold
#

It requires some specific things and dealing with weird headshot hitboxes on lights

bitter turtle
#

idk how people cope into think they're ok at it unless they've never played another melee

#

it doesnt matter even if u hit headshots because knives have fuck-all for cleave

#

yes you can oneshot a single pox at a time

umbral scaffold
#

It's not coping if I have been testing it

odd merlin
#

The special action is so good on it nw. It makes haymaker sort of decent.

bitter turtle
#

idk how ppl can say the literal worst melee in the game at horde clearing is "ok" at horde clearing but idk lul

#

like its that way by design

umbral scaffold
#

Oh no, I can only one-shot one enemy at a time using the fastest melee in the game on a class that can get 25% attack speed for free

bitter turtle
#

why do you think new knife even exists

bitter turtle
#

yes and any other weapon actually decent at horde with 25% attackspeed can cleave through multiple enemies at once

#

idk why you even bring those talents up

#

every weapon can use them

#

again

#

thats why they even made new knife

umbral scaffold
#

Because I'm saying you're wrong

bitter turtle
#

its supposed to be a more well-rounded knife

#

instead of a purely elite+mobility tool

#

u can go into the search bar rn

umbral scaffold
#

I understand people have misconceptions about knife, but the confidence you are talking with doesn't match the truth of the statement

bitter turtle
#

and search "knife horde"

#

and u can see how many ppl agree with you

#

but w/e do what you like

umbral scaffold
#

I don't need people to agree with me, only for what I'm saying to be right

#

If you want to measure truth by popularity, I guess water pressure does increase when you squeeze the hose and every physicist is a moron

bitter turtle
#

lol

wicked zenith
bitter turtle
#

i already appealed to logic

#

knife has no cleave

#

its naturally just going to be bad at horde

#

that is just a fact

umbral scaffold
#

Your logic is shit and so is your attitude, if I am to be honest about it

bitter turtle
#

sure?

#

like i said

#

do waht you want lul

light hamlet
bitter turtle
light hamlet
bitter turtle
#

since you sac either uncanny or precog/mercy killer

#

yeah but now we're talking like a 4/5shot on crushers vs 2 if you ran precog

#

personally I'd just take another weapon at that point

#

maybe 5 exaggerating but even with mercy killer ppl get 3shot on crusher

#

so you're definitely going to 4 at least

upbeat loom
#

I see plenty of bleed knife vets with onslaught autoguns downing the armor or handgun/plasma, they've got the knife out 90% of the time and just shoot specials and some elites.

light hamlet
#

mind you i'm a knife purist but only on zealot, for vets i stan the rashad and the shovel

upbeat loom
#

And they do just fine.

bitter turtle
#

you can do fine with grey guns

#

ofc you can do alright with bleed knife

#

but there's a reason people meme on it for the most part

upbeat loom
#

Fine as in soloing auric mal with plenty of videos up on youtube of it

gusty crane
#

Some people just want to play the game on easy mode. That's alright. But any weapon can be fit to do just about any task.

#

Are other things better at it? Perhaps, that doesn't mean the first one is unusable.

light hamlet
#

"be urself lol"

bitter turtle
#

you can use literally anything in this game and clear

umbral scaffold
#

I still need to get off my ass and farm a knife roll with crit damage and weakspot to see if it offsets the lack of an infested perk

bitter turtle
#

i still run around with recon for fun sometimes

#

doesnt make it a good gun

light hamlet
#

if everything is viable, arguing over minutiae makes you look mentally unsound

gusty crane
bitter turtle
#

then

#

im not sure what to say

terse idol
ebon umbra
#

viable to a degree lol. i dont expect most people to be able to lug around a recon on auric mael for the luls

light hamlet
#

for wasting our time.

terse idol

I mean I'm jumping in quick to say

no pogryn

Your subjective opinion means less than the numbers

bitter turtle

like subjectively enjoy whatever u want

but if you want to talk about what is good

terse idol
#

Yes all weapons are useable

ebon umbra
bitter turtle
#

then you cant just go backpedal and go "but everything can be used!"

gusty crane
terse idol
#

Okay

#

That's cool

#

From an objective standpoint that's meaningless

#

🥹

bitter turtle
#

idk why people get emotionally attached to their weapon loadouts lol

#

if someone tells me v7 is bad compared to revolver idc

#

i still use it

ebon umbra
#

"just as good" mentality

umbral scaffold
#

I mean, when the word "competent" already causes someone to start going on an "akchywally" spree, it's annoying

terse idol
#

Its why we even have these optimal/suboptimal/OP/UP discussions in the first place so we can like judge based on the numbers and create opinions on whether or not something should be buffed or nerfed or something

light hamlet
terse idol
#

Just saying

#

"Oh this gun sucks mathematically but I enjoy it regardless" that's fine

bitter turtle
#

i think competent is just a strange word to use for the weapon in the game that is the worst at horde clear by design lol

umbral scaffold
#

I'm here trying to do something interesting with knife and dedicating my time to it, and what I get is "stop, ur coping lol"

bitter turtle
#

even the toher guy who talked about knife vets in solo auric paired with brauto supposedly

terse idol
#

I just think it's useless just using only subjective opinions without also viewing the objective lense that some of these choices aren't gonna perform well

bitter turtle
#

you know, a horde clear gun

#

for a reason lul

bitter turtle
#

me saying

#

its not good at horde clear

#

doesnt mean

#

"stop playing the game wrong u chud" or something

#

i did bayonet only run for fun

umbral scaffold
#

I think you don't need to be an asshole about it

bitter turtle
#

not shooting on purpose lol

umbral scaffold
#

It's not that hard

bitter turtle
#

ok

terse idol
#

I mean, is saying "it isn't good on horde clear" being an asshole

bitter turtle
#

this is genuinely

terse idol
#

🥹

bitter turtle
#

my question

#

where was I an asshole to u

#

i didnt call you an idiot

light hamlet
#

imo you shouldnt be dumping ammo into hordes ever

bitter turtle
#

i didnt say ur bad for using it

terse idol
#

That's fine

umbral scaffold
#

Saying it's hurr durr cope is being an asshole

light hamlet
terse idol
#

Ug

#

Uh

umbral scaffold
#

The defensive attitude justifying being an asshole is being an asshole

terse idol
#

I don't know where you're going with this

umbral scaffold
#

Turns out acting like an asshole is a requirement for being an asshole

#

And there are some people who can take issue with being belittled out of nowhere

bitter turtle
#

belittled how? lol

#

saying that "knife good at horde clear is coping"?

terse idol
#

Okay so basically scrolling up a tiny bit sure there were words thrown around, like you being okay with the knifes horde clear is fine, but knives certainly aren't geared towards horde clearing
The whole "cope" seemingly was directed at the whole and maybe not you

bitter turtle
#

where am i saying ur bad or something

umbral scaffold
#

Jesus fucking Christ, you're dense

bitter turtle
#

🤷‍♀️

#

if you took it that way

#

genuinely

#

sorry then

terse idol
#

Its the cope in the sense that you said that people were coping by saying the knife has good horde clear, which, I wouldn't word it that way but yeah I guess it did hurt manurits feelings

bitter turtle
#

well mb then

neat stratus
#

I wouldn't say knife has good horde clear, moreso that it works well enough to make it useable if necessary

bitter turtle
#

its quite good at stalling a horde at least, kinda like thammer

sonic marlin
#

whats finesse

bitter turtle
#

you can pretty much hold them in place forever

bitter turtle
#

check the inspect menu and hover over finesse

#

it should tell you exactly what

umbral scaffold
#

I've seen bad horde clear in the form of the old dueling sword, which didn't have the damage to reliably kill poxwalkers but also didn't have the cleave, so the result was absolute suffering

#

You were slamming your head against a concrete wall playing that travesty

neat stratus
terse idol
#

I mean again

#

It just isn't a horde clear weapon

neat stratus
#

^ exactly, knives are meant for single target to begin with

bitter turtle
#

if u dont know what im talking about

terse idol
#

Yuri was just saying exactly that

sharp ember
#

the new knife didn't scratch the horde-clear itch i wanted

upbeat loom
#

It's just the way it's delivered. You came into a convo regarding a gun focused build with an elite clear knife in it, for which a suggestion was made to help it's horde clear as the gun isn't great at that w/o being an ammo hog. You've much too focused on the "knife isn't a horde clear weapon."

terse idol
#

Its cool feeling though

bitter turtle
#

it diverted into whether knife can horde clear effectively as a tangent

neat stratus
#

I'm mostly just saying that knife isn't a horde clear weapon, the rest of the convo isnt really there for me

bitter turtle
#

not that mercy killer is a bad blessing

#

probably the 2nd best after precog imo though

sonic marlin
manic vortex
#

charge rate just refer to charged attack right? So is this fine?

umbral scaffold
#

The new knife heavies would benefit from better headshot priority, as would the lights on both I think

terse idol
#

There was discussion of how the charge rate might affect the left click

#

Wouldn't be bad to test it

umbral scaffold
#

Aiming at the forehead or having specific angles you can attack from without the arm or shoulder getting in the way really kills some of the appeal

should i keep savage sweep or change it to somethign else? i have wrath...

umbral scaffold
#

I'd put shred to squeeze some funny damage out of it

bitter turtle

though they're all pretty bad

umbral scaffold
#

I run mine with shred and reciprocity

bitter turtle
#

avoid 2 like the plague the most

umbral scaffold
#

Disgusting

bitter turtle
#

or was it 7

#

idk

#

just use 6d

#

if you insist

umbral scaffold
#

7a is okay, but definitely the worst to stack onslaught

#

I wish it scaled with fire rate or something

bitter turtle
#

i dont think onslaught needs to be any better tbh

umbral scaffold
#

The fast shit has a big advantage

bitter turtle
#

unless you mean nerf it for fast fire rate

umbral scaffold
#

Well, I dunno

#

I was thinking something like normalizing the time it takes to max it based on fire rate

trim steppe
#

Different types of weapons have different talent interactions, i think thats a good thing. shouldnt worry about scaling each talent per weapon type, thatd get weird

bitter turtle
#

its an honestly borderline busted talent

umbral scaffold
#

Say, a gun with 10 RPS gets 16 max stacks, but a gun with 5 gets 8 or something

bitter turtle
#

so i think making it usable for slow firing guns too is going in thse wrong direction for it

#

its already probably too good for fast ones

polar kayak
#

i have another one with shred and blood letter lv3, as my other chainsword, i'll see if i can put reciprocity on there

umbral scaffold
#

And in theory it gets guns to apply the same brittleness in the same time

#

Though admittedly that talent being so good for automatic guns is a problem

#

One could argue crits should be taking that role

bitter turtle
#

right now, deadshot fills the roll for anti-armor for slower firing weapons

#

deadshot surgical basically

#

that or the weapon just punches holes in armor to beginw ith )lmao plasma)

trim steppe
#

Otherwise we should scale down stam drain on high rof guns for deadshot, right?

umbral scaffold
#

That's a bit weird

#

We know high rate of fire guns work on crit strings, for example

frank ether
umbral scaffold
#

My problem with deadshot being onslaught for slow guns is that it... kind of isn't. It's a 25% crit talent being compared with 40% rending and the crit will be subject to the crit jank of the weapon

bitter turtle
#

well that's what im saying

#

onslaught is probably already too good

#

deadshot is already a very good talent

#

onslaught is just "lol what is armor" for any fast weapon

polar kayak
frank ether
#

onslaught is not just armor pen its brittle lol

umbral scaffold
#

Rending is rending independent of weapon, but deadshot cannot be onslaught for slow weapons because they work differently

frank ether
#

if onslaught was rending it would be overpowered

umbral scaffold
#

Oh yeah, true

frank ether
#

its already pretty strong as brittle too

bitter turtle
#

if it was rending that would be ridiculous ya

umbral scaffold
#

It's brittleness, it works for everyone in your team

#

Fatshark moment

bitter turtle
#

that part isnt important, it would be stronger as rending bc you can carry it over to the next target if it was rending

#

you need to stack it inedependently on each target at the moment bc its brittleness

#

which is fine mind you, like i said, its probably already too strong of a talent tbh

umbral scaffold
#

True, there is that downside

trim steppe
umbral scaffold
#

Or upside depending on the situation

trim steppe
#

Not every talent needs to be viable and good with every weapon

serene sage
#

chat, I am officially a nerd

bitter turtle
#

anyway, i wasnt saying deadshot/surg combo on slow guns is literally rending

serene sage
#

what have I done

#

with my life

bitter turtle
#

but the crit lets you punch through armor if that is wha tyou want

#

that's largely hte point of it for most of the guns who pick up dead+surg tbh

#

since they usually can oneshot light targets already

frank ether
#

I just dont understand how deadshot is comparable to onslaught

zealous wyvern
#

are you just now a nerd? did you just build and paint your first minis?

frank ether
#

they're kinda uh

zealous wyvern
#

took you that long?

frank ether
#

different things

bitter turtle
serene sage
umbral scaffold
bitter turtle
#

the context was

zealous wyvern
#

good job on the paint

bitter turtle
#

they said onslaught should also be adjusted for fire rate

zealous wyvern
#

it looks like it was done by an experienced player

bitter turtle
#

so it stacks to max quickly for slow guns too

zealous wyvern
#

not an experienced artist but an experienced collector

#

i havent painted one yet

bitter turtle
#

and i was saying slow guns deal with armored enemies with crits through deadshot/surg

serene sage
#

im just built different KEKW_ogryn

frank ether
#

deadshot tax is a little bs on a lot of weapons so adjusting it is understandable

bitter turtle
#

so there's no need for that

serene sage
#

not really i spent the whole fucking day on those 3

zealous wyvern
#

i am currently building my killteam kriegers and will just make them all troopers to practice on

they will give their life

onslaught doesnt need you to build your curios or other talents around it

zealous wyvern

its different

I want to pivot into Grey Knights maybe
