#

I am coping we get some fucking info already

frank ether
#

nah I dont want info at this point

untold mulch
#

Wnat update yes

frank ether
#

they been silent for too long

#

might aswell just silently drop an update

#

whenever its ready

untold mulch
#

Fatshark still thinks being silent helps them

pearl granite

dear fellow vets, please tell me how to fix this loregryn

gusty bison

They tried not being silent.

It went worse.

I guess slaughterer for rev it up

@pearl granite Heavy attacks only otherwise it grinds. Look for something like this. Generally speaking Maniax and Flak are the best bets, and the blessings Headtaker/Thrust, SLaughterer

limbsplitter seems useless to me ever since i found out that the cooldown goes back to max every time you hit something

frank ether

they don't exactly get very nice feedback

#

as in, not nice in tone

frank ether
#

even tho I'd say I've seen a lot worse in other games

its all a perception thing

i dont understand why ppl cant be mature about it

Remember. People review bombed when psword got nerfed

Which is

Lol

Lmao

zealous wyvern
#

wow

untold mulch
zealous wyvern
#

good

#

they SHOULD

zealous wyvern
#

ppl SHOULD review bomb when they nerf the Emperors tools of war

#

any nerf is a direct support for the heretics

#

fatshark is full of traitors?

elder fiber
#

It's not just the internet, look at how shitty people can be irl to service workers

wicked zenith
#

Eh, at least in the states far less people are willing to punch you in the face when you talk shit. Maybe it's just me and Florida.... Stand your ground and all.

frank ether
#

I think everyone has a right to

#

say their piece and move on

#

the whole review bomb thing was very silly

#

but they brought it on themselves in my eyes

gusty bison
#

Everyone has the right to an opinion.

They dont have a right to harassment.

zealous wyvern
#

yes

#

exactly

wicked zenith
#

Review bombing is harrassment?

supple hamlet
#

what perk should I replace?

zealous wyvern
#

no

#

review bombing is stupid though

gusty bison

true tbh

it can be

In others review bombing is deserved

It really depends

This game at launch deserved review bombing

The psword nerf didnt

@gusty bison I don't think randos collective review bombing is harassment of an individual, and Companies cannot have feelings, morales, life goals, etc they are not alive.

zealous wyvern
#

companies consist of people

gusty bison
zealous wyvern
#

ofc you need a thicker skin for that

#

but

#

they are still a group of people

gusty bison
#

And it also depends on why the review bombing is conducted. How it is conducted. And to what extent it is done.

muted knot
#

Theres definitely people you hit with hate towards companies, but mostly not the ones responsible

devout comet
#

It’s when people go for specific developers that it’s harassment in my book

frank ether
#

fatshark hasnt exactly been acting like some innocent small indie company

#

they can't pull the ''we're tightly nit small community'' card

gusty bison
#

Mhm. I'd agree, but like. Some of the complaints are fucking dumb

#

And honestly blown way out of proportion

#

Which takes away from the actual legitimate concerns

crude fiber
#

Wasn't their old community manager or whatever an asshole though?

wicked zenith
#

@gusty bison and Organization again as in Company non-profit etc cannot have feelings, morales etc. Until they start imprisoning Organizations for crimes they imprison individuals for, it's rather just a money tactic to build sympathy. The workers, yes they could be harassed individually, but review bombing is focusing the direction and choices of a company.

devout comet
#

Review bombing can be valid but often focus too much on “devs are bad” and not enough “management isn’t doing anything to make it better”

untold mulch
#

Sadly dumbfucks are everywhere

gusty bison
frank ether
#

sure but I'm just desensitized to all the incompetent devs around the globe using ''death threats'' for why they are incompetent or lazy

untold mulch
gusty bison
#

The psword review bomb was so fuckibg dumb.

untold mulch
zealous wyvern
#

thats pathetic

frank ether
#

not even talking about fatshark at this point

#

it has become a common thing

wicked zenith
#

Leave the individuals (personal lives) out of the companies decision. People review bomb cars like the new ones that are making you pay monthly for features in your car like heaters, etc This isn't solely to Game companies either.

Wait wha

Like an actual legitimate 100% warranted nerf that still left the weapon top of its class

frank ether
#

literally

devout comet
#

What’d they do to it

gusty bison
#

People review bombed on that

terse idol
#

Even with alot of the changes and mistakes FS did... the biggest review bomb was the psword nerf lmao
(And the mixed review Darktide got for a horrible launch)

wicked zenith
#

@gusty bison Honestly, while they won't admit it, it an issue due to way crafting system is done. You spend days trying to find a specific item grinding for it to become trash, with no return. Yeah people are going toi review bomb. It's not so much about the Psword, but about the effort to get it to only get effed and told do it again, and no we aren't fixing the crafting system.

terse idol
#

No you dont

untold mulch
terse idol
#

Psword before

#

Had infinite cleave

frank ether
#

in case of power sword nerf I would have absolutely defended fatshark except they dug themselves into that hole where no one would defend them

muted knot
gusty bison
#

They were unironically complaining that vet is now worthless and the game is ruined

zealous wyvern
terse idol
#

Its why power cycler 4 is a thing

zealous wyvern
#

its just not as op anymore

frank ether
#

so again, they put themselves into that position where they had no credibility

#

it just looked like they took the money and ran

untold mulch
gusty bison
#

And after the nerf the psword was still the best melee in the gamr.

terse idol
#

How did they dig themselves?

wicked zenith
#

@zealous wyvern I see far more running chain sword than psword cept those returning that don't have a chain sword

frank ether
gusty bison

When chainsword was ASS

terse idol

People just couldn't cope that their op weapon wasn't op anymkre

devout comet

Wtf did they even do to the powersword, I’m so confused

untold mulch
gusty bison

they just made it less overpowerdly stupid

terse idol
zealous wyvern
#

thats all

gusty bison
#

And higher damage

frank ether
#

I wasnt even around to test psword changes lmao

gusty bison
#

And inf cleave

terse idol
#

Experienced a better launch than vt2

frank ether
#

like uh

#

game journalists?

#

lmao

hearty panther
#

Crafting sucks and the original PSword complaints after its first nerf were also stupid as fuck. These aren't contradictory opinions to hold.

terse idol
#

And content crrators like jfj

frank ether
#

so was halo infinite

terse idol
#

Most content creators

#

Again

frank ether
#

oh yea content creators

terse idol
#

Darktide was

#

Mixed

frank ether
#

aka leeches

wicked zenith
#

@devout comet They nerfed the hell out of it, and it was needed. This isn't really about the psword but reaction to effort to get a good one, and how much more effort to hunt for a replacement. A few weapons got stuff like this. The Flamer and Fire staff also got hit but not near as hard.

terse idol
#

Not mostly negative

#

On release

serene orbit
#

darktide was confusing on launch, tbh. it was simultaneously an awesome game and a shit game

terse idol
#

You can say that all you want, it's valid

terse idol
#

But it still launched well

gusty bison
terse idol
#

Which is crazy

gusty bison
#

It wasnt like they ruined psword

terse idol
#

Because the systems were fucked

hearty panther
#

It was definitely incomplete. Combat was all I cared about though.

frank ether
terse idol
#

It didn't even have crafting

#

But it had the solid foundation for gameplay

gusty bison
wicked zenith
#

Just be glad this isn't Payday3, if you think darktide is bad go see payday 3 less than 700 users last week peak

gusty bison
#

But like

terse idol
#

Which kept darktide mixed

muted knot
#

Darktide at launch was what it is now aka a great thematic 40k game, problem was that it had very little replayability

gusty bison
#

BM axes required half a braincell

terse idol
#

Yes

#

That is true

hearty panther
#

They did not.

frank ether
#

I'm not here to talk whataboutisms

muted knot
#

I thought they'd learn

frank ether
#

I didnt buy payday

hearty panther
#

I mean new BM is also pretty busted but old BM was some serious brain off gameplay

frank ether
#

I bought GTFO instead

terse idol

And its been over a year

And I got what I paid for you know

@devout comet Damage nerf, Cleave nerf, PC number of hits nerf

All I can say for payday 3 is that it feels... more modern?
But its just god awful

But it is an end gameesque weapon

primal forge
wicked zenith
#

@devout comet It use to be way more than 2, I don't recall how many. It was also basically infinite cleave or close as one can get to it, and the damage was much higher even on the cleaves with the PC strikes.

Its like us sitting down to build a rashad

We just had a whole conversation last night about On Overwatch

A grey psword

#

Infinite cleave

gusty bison

The agreement was whatever dev came up with it is a doodoo head and the best bet for Overwatch is to practice higher difficulties first.

On release psword was mega broke

devout comet
#

This changes sound reasonable tbh, only buff it needs is more dodge reach tbh

terse idol
#

I used it 🥹

crude fiber
# primal forge ok

Get high toughness for ranged attacks and run voice of command for panic toughness refill. Also maybe get Stam and block efficiency

You could literally animation cancel your charge before a swing

For no health damge, run yourself the toughness buffs, all toughness trinkets and a Zealot with toughness prayer, 2 of each even on Auric you can keep perma TOughness overcharge and shouldn't take health damage if you don't be stupid. You can facetank 1 pox burster with overcharge and toughness damage red.

terse idol
#

Not really...

#

Just get a friend

#

I literally helped my friend get it back when pox walkers hit you through toughnss

earnest lotus
terse idol
#

Its extra possible to do it without a friend now

Solo auric maelstrom que only bby

#

Say, you probably need to just stack ad much toughness as you can

And grab voc

Its so easy now

the 100% accuracy was more of arse time without doing the disconnect glitch. I have to use a lawbringer to get it myself.

I did it with a revolver

And when psword gave you automatically 3 swings

muted knot

I think the hardest one however is to make it through Maelstrom Auric mission with everyone using the starting weapons with 0 people going down. (The 2 greys each class starts with).

gusty bison
#

Fun fact: even with old busted psword. Somehow we still had vets that said vet melee was weak

because those vets wanted to be zealots at the same time, lol

however shovel is more in-and-out which works well with many bosses

thats true, i still like shovels for the crowd control

crude ermine

(He got ran over by a fucking ford)

drifting oak
#

like plogyrn where you constantly have to dodge, or BON where you won't get many opportuniites to strike it in melee safely

#

so it's a tossup honestly

earnest lotus
crude ermine
#

True

drifting oak
#

like the optimal situation is a plogyrn that isn't using stomp, and is aggroed onto a teammate who knows how to keep it in place

#

there power sword will definitely do way more damage

#

but if you're taking plogyrn aggro you constantly have to dodge out

earnest lotus
#

Darman never handled a Southern racist before, they just don't care who you are.

drifting oak
#

and during those dodges you can do the shovel animations with no loss

#

relative to other weapons

The optimal situation is a daemonhost slurping an ally

Plague Ogryn is ez, just hit it with a shovel.

And get your battle buddies with shovels to beat him too

crude ermine

But tell that to the fucking ogryn whom instead of helping the zel who was about to lose their grip come and mindlessly swing the plogryn so I had to go and then I pan back to him just crouch shooting the ogryn while it's charging and he just falls off to his death

#

Yes I am still bitter about that ogryn how can you suck so much ass on ogryn to the point where trash mobs are knocking you down and draining all your 3 wounds to where you fucking DIE

#

I think I'm becoming semi prejudiced to abhumans again

earnest lotus
#

Ogryn being unable to solo a Plague Ogryn is... A new level of brain dead.

#

Just charge the Pogryn anytime it tries to move and beat it to death.

crude ermine
#

He just wandered around on the final part of foundrie and just didn't even come to where we were and almost died again

#

I would've put in chat "just leave him atp" if he died

#

Hell he had a latrine shovel and I had to kill more crushers with my tiny mk 3

#

It's like he didn't know the concept of heavies and balancing melee and ranged

earnest lotus
#

I demand this Ogryn be excommunicato from all Shovel activities.

He shames all of our spades

i think you will struggle to keep stam up with columnus with any build

gusty bison

Nah

DnD can

If u have good burst control

Because DnD gives u back so much stamina

yea but if you are going to be farming stam from ranged enemies why not take determined

suppression is the most aids mechanic in the game to deal with

it gives stamina and toughness back

usually all I have to do is slide to the next piece of cover and suppression is gone

i wanna jump down into a firing reaper one day and have him blast me back straight upwards

frank ether
#

weapon swap is a persistent thing you gotta deal with though

gusty bison
#

Also IAGs are on the low side of suppression pains tbh

frank ether
#

and deadshot is very good for weapon sway

#

try it on bolter

but honestly if columnus had better stability/distance it would be broken OP

The recoil is also easier to control after shooting for a bit so you can long range with it if you don't mind dumping some ammo

gusty bison
#

Which is lethal vs most specials

#

If u hit said first 5 shots

slate sleet
#

i wonder how they will nerf it

gusty bison
#

Its shots 6 to 15 that are pain to control

gusty bison
crude fiber
#

What do you mean I dont need dumdum + elite and boss damage nodes + 25% unyielding and exec stance?

gusty bison
#

Cos i feel like columnus is too hard for half the vets atm

#

XD

#

Which is a hilarious jokr

slate sleet
#

are we counting console "people" in this or what

gusty bison
#

Not even

slate sleet
#

i do know most vets are plasma wheelchairs with poopysword but

gusty bison
#

We are counting people that rely on KB+M aim assist

slate sleet
#

columnus is really straight forward

gusty bison
#

To do things

frank ether
#

I wonder if they are delaying this and hellgun cos of belt ammo physics

gusty bison
#

Cos columnus doesnt have aim assist

slate sleet
#

what gun does?

gusty bison
#

Plasma

#

revolver

crude fiber
slate sleet
#

aim assist is only for console isnt it

gusty bison
#

Nope

slate sleet
#

i wouldnt know i dont use plasma or revolver

gusty bison
#

Revolver and Plasma both assist ur aim by shooting fucking logs

#

U can miss by half a head on volver and its still a headshot

crude fiber
#

I've noticed some generous hits with the revolver I suppose lol

#

Guess what weapons are the S tier meta atm

crude fiber
#

Good old hanzo arrowa

gusty bison
#

Columnus is S tier, but it aint meta for a reason

crude fiber

Heretic seeking rounds

I rolled fire frenzy and deathspitter on my columnus, which is better to keep? I will replace one of them with Dumdum

#

Man..

slate sleet
#

thats crazy

earnest lotus
#

I just want a normal beard

gusty bison
earnest lotus
#

But instead it's either big ass kratos beard or barely stubble.

gusty bison
#

Coincidence? I think not :P

crude fiber
#

Unless it let's you cleave at full stacks of deathspitter but I doubt it

gusty bison
#

🤔

#

Never tested

crude fiber
#

It'd maybe cleave a groaner if anything

flint onyx
#

What does power even do? KEKW_ogryn

crude fiber
#

Gives damage, cleave and stagger I believe

strange grove
#

Is there a reason no one uses the Gaia guns?

terse idol
#

Which..

#

It doesn't say so but

#

IN THEORY DS is better

dreamy lantern
terse idol
#

Because you could argue power is better

fresh grail
#

i run graia braced sometimes if i want to go brrrrrt

strange grove
dreamy lantern
#

braced got its damage buffed so its only slightly less than the columnus, but when you brace it it gets much higher fire rate

strange grove
#

I have a god roll agri iag, maybe I’ll go for braced

terse idol
crude ermine
#

6 months

strange grove
#

Graia braced *

dreamy lantern
#

the IAG is a nice middleground rifle, not as much DPS as the columnus and not as much single bullet damage as the argi, but it is a lot more flexible

hollow ibex
#

I never use the iag version anymore

fresh grail
#

yeah for sure give graia braced a go, its super fun now

#

got almost 1000 bullets with the +25% ammo talent

strange grove
#

What’s best blessings for one? IIRC braced blessings are meh

fresh grail
#

you don't need any blessings for it, so its up to you really. Speedloader is quite nice with graia imo, and deathspitter/fire frenzy is just extra damage

flint onyx
# terse idol

So fire frenzy is more close damage, while deathspitter is less damage, but it's not just for close and also gives cleave and stagger loregryn

sonic marlin
#

this only applies to elite gunners right

fresh grail
#

and the ogryn reapers ye

flint onyx
#

Yes, not shooters

crude ermine
#

Oh wait this is vet chat

sonic marlin
#

do i really need 2 of those on my curios

terse idol
#

I mean

#

Running even 1

fresh grail
#

depends if you get shot up a lot

terse idol
#

Reduces damage from gunners by 20%

sonic marlin
#

shit ton of other stuff can help, its just 2 enemy types

terse idol
#

Always

flint onyx
#

It's up to you, if you can dodge them then I guess you don't need them

crude ermine
fresh grail
#

gunners are one of the more damaging enemies at higher levels for sure

crude ermine
#

More than some specials

terse idol
#

Yeah

terse idol
#

Sniper res only helps you against 1 enemy type

#

All these damage res are only for 1 or 2 enemy types

crude ermine
#

Like flamer and Rox flamer

#

Wait WHY ARE those two seperate

#

Minus the Shrek piss stream the trix flamer spews

terse idol
#

Uh

#

Tox flamer gives corruption

#

Which is weird

#

That damage res should be both but

#

more rng I guess

sonic marlin
#

if i unlock the slot for perk changes does it cost stuff each time iwanna change

nonstatwise XII is probably better, right? bcs light for horde and special+heavy for single targets

sonic marlin
crude ermine
#

Yes

terse idol
#

Because your weapons aren't gonna be their max potential and you're just using mats that you'll be upgrading anyways

jolly hemlock
#

yesnt theoretocally math wise yes

#

but i usually pick maps which i know every little spot of to pick the map clean

#

also maps i know where the team has less chances to fuck up

keen wolf

I think maybe replace RA and unarmoured (?)

muted knot
#

Flak is a good guess as always

frank ether
#

compared to iag

#

tho

#

I guess it depends

#

some people cant seem to handle recoil/aiming

dreamy lantern
#

its not even needed, just play the funny

terse idol
#

I mean braced iags are fine

frank ether
#

I use braced guns for the funy

terse idol
#

I mean they're good

dusty sluice
#

is the mkix headhunter just not good rn?

terse idol
#

This isn't like a uh, IAG over biag situation I'd say as much

#

Kinda... kinda

terse idol
#

The burst one?

dusty sluice
terse idol
#

Hh

dusty sluice
frank ether
#

but I like agri braced

#

graia isnt a good gun but it gets 1000 rounds on veteran which is just silly

dusty sluice
#

its okish currently

frank ether
#

It synergizes good with exec

#

but exec kinda doodoo

dusty sluice
frank ether
#

exec minimizes recoil/spread

#

so yes

dusty sluice
#

i just run it in a meme build

terse idol
#

Could be bettah

frank ether
#

Its doodoo

terse idol
#

Could give us toughness but it's okie

dreamy lantern

oh yea, gets a bit confusing

ciag is a silly good gun rn wouldn't be suprised if they reeled it back a bit

Exe is bad

terse idol
#

Its fine

serene bough
#

No

terse idol
#

Or well

#

Could be better

frank ether
#

Exe is just bad

#

but you can gaslight yourself about it ,thats fine

serene bough
#

The buff it gives is not enough in comparison to the power/utility of VoC or Infiltrate

terse idol
#

Okay let's see

#

Damn

frank ether
#

no its not a ''VoC is too good'' problem

terse idol
#

This tough

#

I mean both are good

sonic marlin
#

first ever damnation run

terse idol
#

VOC and infil

dusty sluice
frank ether
#

its worse than scriers gaze, its modifiers are either silly tax nodes or counteractive

terse idol
#

VoC is too strong, infil in many ways is better for personal use

terse idol
#

You only take 2

#

For exe

#

Which yeag is expensive

frank ether
#

and only one for VoC

terse idol
#

For no toughness regen

frank ether
#

I take no nodes for infil

terse idol
sonic marlin
#

oh cool

terse idol
#

Why VOC is op

terse idol
frank ether
#

what is your point?

#

do you think I'm gonna play exec when you nerf VoC

dusty sluice
frank ether
#

that is absolutely stupid

sonic marlin
#

yes thats what i meant

terse idol
#

No? But it's not the worst possible thing is what I'm saying it compliments MF

frank ether
#

you can nerf the shit out of VoC

#

do you know what I'll do

#

I'll play relic zealot

terse idol
#

Voc and Infil is just good alone

terse idol
#

That's another issue in itself of VOC

sonic marlin
#

another

terse idol
frank ether
#

the mental gymnastic this chat goes over to not admit exec is garbo tier

#

and it has nothing to do with how good other abilities are

terse idol
#

I mean, it's not worse than scriers gaze

#

But you are comparing it to

#

Voc

terse idol
#

Which isnop

#

And infil

#

Which in many ways as good or not better than voc

#

Which is fair

dusty sluice
#

iv'e only ever found it good with 1a

terse idol
#

We have no other comparison

frank ether
#

and the best part is when a team has multiple exec users so they grief each other

#

or someone takes the teammate highlight node so I can grief them out of kills

serene bough
#

Problem is a lot of general talents throughout the tree can give you a similar benefit to exe stance

dusty sluice
#

lmaooo

frank ether
#

and mfs here be like

terse idol
#

Luckily voc is so OP that nobody runs anything else

#

Lmao

frank ether
#

''guys its actually VoC thats op''

#

yea

terse idol
#

Yeah it is

frank ether
#

brain cells

#

I have two

#

and I can add it up

dusty sluice
#

free plasteellr

terse idol
#

Urgh maybe I am coping abit

frank ether
terse idol
#

Exe could be arsed to refill toughness

serene bough
#

Its damage isn't even worth it

#

Voc and infil give so much more utility and you can easily make up for damage by many talents including keystone buffs

cedar pecan
#

I can't play without exe stance because I can't see shit

terse idol
#

I mean infil itself just gives damages

#

Or well

#

In plush's case just give you

#

Invis

#

Exe has the issue that uh, it's only range with no defensive element

#

Maybe if it gave you a stagger too it might be hotter

serene bough
#

Low threat, easy revives, objective completion, damage buff, toughness reset

terse idol
#

But sure as it stands because it's strictly range with no defensive utility it is weeakerrr

terse idol
#

So only toughness refill and invis

#

Which frankly

#

could use a taxinKEKW_ogryn

frank ether
serene bough
#

Not to mention weapons have been buffed a lot so they all preform well without exe

frank ether
#

it still also gives you movement speed aswell

serene bough
#

Whereas before you needed exe to push certain weapons to being useful

frank ether
#

none of its baseline functions tied to a node

frank ether
#

base infiltrate is a complete ability

#

you can take it as is

serene bough
# terse idol So only toughness refill and invis

The point is invis is excellent utility that can be used for multiple functions, whereas the extra damage from exe is somewhat meaningless since it can easily be made up for in other talents

terse idol
#

Yes

#

I didn't say that it was bad

#

😌

#

Exe could stand to use like

#

A defensive portion

serene bough
#

I'd honestly rather they overhaul exe stance entirely

frank ether
#

but why would I want defensive utility to my offensive ranged ability

#

you took all the identity out of it, at this point just rework it completely

serene bough
#

I never liked the constant need to require my ult in order for the gun to be useful

terse idol
#

I'd still rather they kept a range option

#

I don't want

#

3 fucking ults that just let you play

#

Whatever

#

Which infil and VOC honestly let you do

frank ether
#

how about giving me an ult that feels good to use lmao

terse idol
#

Then keep it ranged

#

lmao

serene bough
#

There's many ways to imagine a similar ranged focused ult

terse idol
#

Give it some defensive utility on par with the other

frank ether
#

you're the one suggesting giving it a defensive portion

#

make up your mind

#

if you give it defensive portion you're making it the same as the other two

terse idol
#

??

#

So I'm saying

#

Keep it a ranged ult

#

And also give it some utility

#

because it literally does nothing when you're in melee, or if you have your gun out and enemies come into melee

#

It doesn't even refill your toughness

#

Like all the other ults

#

You gotta build toughness back

#

With MF

#

Or other talents

#

While using MF

serene bough
#

Personally, I'd like if they make exe stance a huge single shot damage buff

#

Exe shot, or something

strange grove
#

I can tell we talking about exec stance, I can't stand that ability tbh

lilac eagle
#

I like clicking on the yellow enemies

#

Thats about it

frank ether
#

scrier gaze doesnt give toughness either, you're not supposed to be as durable as a melee playstyle

#

It doesnt even make sense given its not a spam ability its something you're supposed to keep up

lilac eagle
#

Like the rush I get from pressing my ability button and seeing about 30 targets pop up, then making them all disappear within 1 kantrael clip is what keeps me playing this game lmao

frank ether
#

thats where the problem comes from though

#

scrier doesnt care if you weapon swap or if someone yoinked your kill

serene bough
#

I dont see an issue baking in defensive utilities, the bigger issue is the offensive utility isn't potent enough to invest points

#

You can get similar toughness regen + DR from other talents

frank ether
serene bough
#

Yes I agree to this

frank ether
#

you could slap like %100 toughness replenish on it and like

#

yea thats nice

#

but its not gonna make me like the ability

lilac eagle
#

Scrier doesn't only apply to melee damage right?

frank ether
#

it dooooes

lilac eagle
#

Oh fr?

#

I was using it with my staff lmao

frank ether
#

its just damage afaik

#

damage and crit chance

#

there is like very little reason not to spam scrier gaze

#

I guess if you use staffs you might want to be careful not to blow yourself up

#

but with guns or melee its easy free stats

light ore
#

man, both revolvers make me sad. one because i keep hitting heads i shouldn't, and one because i can shoot a sniper 5 times and literally not hit once

frank ether
#

well it shoots projectiles the size of ogryns

lilac eagle
#

Snap shooting Vs precision right there

light ore
#

yeah, i want smaller bullet

#

so i don't feel like i'm cheating

frank ether
#

thats also what stops me from using those guns

#

revolvers and plasma

#

I don't feel satisfied with a gun that aims for itself

light ore
#

but then the other one is literally "we made a revolver, but decided to make it innacurate and no penetration"

#

ye

frank ether
#

braced one?

#

I played it for like 2 games

light ore
#

the quick draw mgraw, aggripinna i think?

frank ether
#

yeah thats the braced one

light ore
#

maybe there's a secret, but not exagerating, against mid to long raged stuff

#

i put my crosshair on a sniper head standing still, clicked 5 times, and every shot missed

frank ether
#

thats just how it is with braced weapons on veteran

light ore
#

also no penetration, so can't snipe specials through hoards

#

just incredibly underwhelming

frank ether
#

It has speedloader and double the ammo

#

so somethings gotta give

#

would probably feel a lot better if it was like a 6 or 8 shot revolver

light ore
#

i think if they just made it pinpoint accurate and gave it teammate penetration, that would be enough

#

or that yeah, a bullet or two extra maybe

frank ether
#

teammate pen is like

#

I'm 50/50 on that

#

god forbid if I'm playing exec stance

#

I cant stand guns without pen

#

on VoC or infil I dont care

#

which is %99 of my playtime

light ore
#

it's a shame, because i really like the "quickdraw precision weapon" style of gameplay, but both revolvers make me feel gross for different reasons

#

3 ogryn game as vetran, just shooting backs all day

frank ether
#

I think its cool but I admit I have barely touched it

#

mostly cos I got frustrated with hadron bricking my revolvers

tall torrent
#

Hadron has sent 40 of my 370+ DC swords to the scrapyard

light ore
#

i think the strongest build in the game right now is antax+revolver weapon specialist (sorry, meant rashad)

light ore
#

which, you just plow through the game with that

frank ether
#

antax

#

tac axe?

#

nah more like rashad CA

#

if you can get a good roll

#

which is the difficult part

light ore
#

with agile engagement up, a bodyshot revolver crit 1shots a rager

tall torrent
light ore
#

and every kill gives you a garunteed crit

frank ether
#

Idk I just cant stand tac axe attack pattern

#

combat axe are good though

#

I like combat axes

#

very nutty with weapon spec

light ore
#

i would put ciag and revolver at same tier, but weapon specialist pushes revolver through the roof, and leaves ciag in the dust exepct for boss dps

frank ether
#

So uh

#

on braced revolver

#

I think the way you're supposed to play it is to just

frank ether
#

get a weapon spec proc

terse idol
#

Disagree

frank ether
#

and spam all 5 shots

terse idol
#

focus target with CIAG

#

Slapp

frank ether
#

or at least

#

spam the trigger

#

its not a precision weapon

#

its more of a aim center mass kinda weapon

light ore
terse idol
#

hmm

#

onslaught

light ore
#

i mean for shooting through targets

frank ether
#

yeah but pen is a broken stat

light ore
#

if there's a trapper behind a hoard, ciag suffers

#

revolver just deletes it

frank ether
#

I mean, not really

#

well depends

light ore
#

like, fundamentally, nothing can compete with "delete anything anywhere on the map instantly"

frank ether
#

thing is ciag melts hordes fast enough that often times

#

I just reach the elites

tall torrent
#

CIAG is uniquely not as bad because it kills everything so fast u will still kill the trapper

Especially if u have deathspitter which allows u to penetrate a little

frank ether
#

through sheer dps

#

had times where I got through like 4-5 chaff and kill trapper anyways

gusty bison
light ore
#

it's the difference between "kill it in 0.2 seconds" and "kill it instantly"

light ore
frank ether
gusty bison
#

Shoot center of crosshair

tall torrent
#

That’s only first shot tho right?

light ore
#

um

#

i use dot crosshair for everything

gusty bison
frank ether
#

me neither, didnt bother testing

gusty bison
#

Mhm

frank ether
#

also testing is hard

#

because braced weapon

gusty bison
#

Zarona has aim assist

frank ether
#

it has a cone to begin with

light ore
#

it doesn't have any aim assist

gusty bison
#

Which doesnt help.

gusty bison
#

It 100% dows

light ore
#

the new revolver?

gusty bison
#

In fact its quite massive

frank ether
#

new one Idk

tall torrent
#

Zarona has bullet magnetism

terse idol
#

Not really though

gusty bison
frank ether
#

old one has uh.. ''fat bullets''

terse idol
#

because CIAG is very horde efficient

tall torrent
#

Slightly different thing from aim assist but achieves more or less the same goal

light ore
#

yeah, sorry, was reffering to a previous conversation

terse idol
#

Also trappers are slightly taller than most hordes

light ore
#

i don't like old revolver, cause i feel like i'm cheating w/ bullet magnetism

gusty bison
#

Im not sure if the new one has aim assist

light ore
#

and i don't like new revolver, which doesn't have bullet magnetism, because it is innacurate

#

like, if you have better information on this, hit me

terse idol
#

New revolver has issues

tall torrent
#

New revolver 0 cleave is a bummer

light ore
#

but i think the bullets don't go where your crosshair is 100% of the time

terse idol
light ore
#

there is fundamental innacuary baked in

#

also ye no cleave sucks

terse idol
#

Because it doesn't clear ragers fast...

tall torrent
#

We should get a talent or smth that just says “+cleave on all ranged attacks”

light ore
#

so don't like either revolver, cause one is overly generous, and one is overly punishing

#

with regards to aim

frank ether
#

I think it just needs

#

a little bit of pen

#

just enough to punch through friendlies

light ore
#

i would take accuracy over pen

frank ether
#

that would be a nice touch

light ore
#

but both would be nice

tall torrent
#

Punch through friendly is like agripinaa1 / helbore level cleave

#

It needs to penetrate most soft targets

frank ether
#

I mean its not meant to be accurate is the thing
