k hopefully it will work better

terse idol
#

Well

untold mulch
#

We have. But just because they are playtesters, doesn't mean they are actually are correct

And don't TAKE it wrong, I am not insulting them

terse idol
#

As far as we know

untold mulch
#

but I have NO REASON to believe them

white minnow
#

tbf i think they were referring to a different version than the one we got

terse idol
crystal dust
#

so bolter still bad?

sonic marlin
#

fuck off

white minnow
#

since crab did remark that this version was not the one he thought we would get

terse idol
tall torrent
#

I’d prob run smth like this

sonic marlin
untold mulch
#

Yeah

Though tbf, he was blindsided I think about the critstring nerf

crystal dust
untold mulch
#

Like, Fatshark did a change that WASN'T playstested

#

Because THEY ARE FUCKING GENIUSES

bitter turtle
woven tide
#

Bolter hasn't been touched, so it's still mediocre

white minnow
untold mulch
#

Bolter isn't top tier

but is not bad

frank basin
#

Calvade pinning firing boltgun

bitter turtle
#

he's forever a liar in my book

#

😔

crystal dust
woven tide
#

You can definitely make the bolt gun work though

untold mulch
white minnow
#

+crit chance as you shoot

#

you'd prob run a surgical bolter on vet

frank basin
tall torrent
crystal dust
#

hmm so not pinning fire and armor pen anymore

slow spade
#

if only the bolter had the funny amounts of damage as the plasma

#

I personally go Surgical + Pinning Fire on the bolter

#

you are going to stagger on hits + Surgical makes shots count

crystal dust
#

going to reinstall dark tide lol, i heard they nerfed my baby and go sad so i uninstalled lol

bitter turtle
#

so

#

is unarmored actually like

crystal dust
#

thank you everyone

bitter turtle
#

kinda ok on laspistol?

#

i just realized

#

i cant hit OS bp on shotgunners

#

without it

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

im using 2

tall torrent
#

For mk2 I honestly just treat it as a dps machine more than anything

untold mulch
bitter turtle
#

in that case

#

isnt it not a bad idea for spamming down dreg gunners too then 🤔

#

maybe im just coping

sonic marlin
#

so would my way work with voc and the weapon specialist path for mk6 psword?

bitter turtle
#

so i dont have to make a new one

tall torrent
terse idol
tall torrent
#

It just works

terse idol
#

You

bitter turtle
#

lul

terse idol
#

Gotta learn

#

Not the meta

#

I'm sorry

#

This meta discussion is getting to the worst bits

sonic marlin
#

mm i don't think so

terse idol
#

yes, it's good

bitter turtle
#

dont use that tree for ciag/psword lol

sonic marlin
#

oh

bitter turtle
#

that's for v3/rashad

sonic marlin
#

right

#

but the melee buffs still work fine right?

bitter turtle
#

yes

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

there's the tree i'd use

tall torrent
#

CS4 gives u the unyielding dmg u said u lacked with shovel + V7

tall torrent
#

And it’s not bad for horde clear compared to a shovel

bitter turtle
#

ofc melk only gave me the 13 in shop

#

lul

#

i tried it a bit but i really dont like the 13 at least

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

feels

#

wonky

untold mulch
tall torrent
#

Bloodletter gives u great flexibility with rev atks

#

U can 1 rev heavy (bodyshot) a mauler

#

U can 1 rev light (HS) both ragers

#

U can 2 rev heavy (HS) crushers

#

And 1 rev light (HS) bulwarks & reapers

bitter turtle
#

didnt consider bloodletter

#

interesting

#

maybe that will be my next project

tall torrent
#

Bloodletter IV 14 stacks of bleed can do some very serious work against most enemies

#

On top of chainsword naturally having high unyielding dmg for the role play aspect

#

U just don’t horde clear as braindead as rampage + wrath/SS

bitter turtle
#

i hate wrath anyway

#

fucking reset on miss ass skills

terse idol
bitter turtle
#

its a melee weapon

terse idol
#

Sit yo ass down

tall torrent
#

I might try SS + bloodletter

bitter turtle
#

of course you miss sometime 😔

sonic marlin
terse idol
#

unbelievable

tall torrent
#

Felt like rampage didn’t really improve the weapon against bruisers

terse idol
#

Mr.Metamancer

#

Oh man

#

unbelievable

bitter turtle
#

wait

#

oh no

#

that means shredder is an important stat huh

tall torrent
#

Not exactly

bitter turtle
#

its another 4 dmg stat episode

#

oh

tall torrent
#

U just need +flak perk

wary galleon
#

I AM A GUARD AND IM DIGGIN A HOOOOLE
DIGGY DIIIGY HOOLE
IM DIIIGIN A HOOLE

I LUV ME SHOVEL

wary galleon
bitter turtle
#

yeah but

#

ideally i'd want it to die like

#

shortly after

#

not wait 5 sec right

tall torrent
#

Tag it

bitter turtle
#

lol

tall torrent
#

Lemme record another

bitter turtle
#

nah i get you

#

i tested with the 13 i have anyway

#

it only took a few ticks

#

so i get what you mean

#

its flexible

#

the bloodletter just fills in the dmg ur missing

tall torrent
#

Also being able to 1 rev light bulwark is very useful

#

U just hit them and forget abt them

bitter turtle
#

time to farm bloodletter 4

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

i wanted to make chainsword work anyway

#

but i just didnt understand anything gud about it

#

this osunds fun tho

tall torrent
#

I went from Rashad -> DC7 -> CS4 back to Rashad

bitter turtle
#

i tried dclaw

#

didnt like it much

#

like yeah its kinda good at hordes

#

but man

#

i like my melee be able to kill armor

#

lul

tall torrent
#

DC’s flak dmg is miserable

bitter turtle
#

melk trying to scam me

#

io almost thought that said bloodletter at first

bitter turtle
#

ye

#

trying it with the 13 it actually seemed like its the seccret sauce

#

the rev attack seemed so bad to me before

#

didnt kill anything

tall torrent
#

Then u remember mk13 can’t cleave 3 scab bruisers without +cleave blessings

bitter turtle
#

lol

#

yeah i dont plan to use 13

#

i hate the swing patterns

tall torrent
#

U can fight ragers a lot better with bloodletter

terse idol
#

Special killing

#

Boss deleting

tall torrent
#

Hold block against their combo
Rev, push atk, wait a few ticks, go back to block

terse idol
#

very useful on "Specialists sometime spawns as monstrocities"

tall torrent
#

They’ll die from bleed

#

U don’t even need to go full Rev ticks

#

In case there’s multiple ragers on u

#

Bloodletter doesn’t give u 1 rev light vs mutant tho

#

The shredder stat basically only matters against crushers

#

That’s when bloodletter doesn’t really carry u over breakpoints

civic knot
#

What to change? Keep rampage and run that along with shred?

wet elk
#

one of axes of all times

fleet garden
#

when patch

junior needle
#

Whenever they need to fix some more clipping cosmetics

fleet garden
#

so never, gotcha

civic knot
#

how much does 170 cleave increase your weapon's damage to subsequent targets?

junior needle
#

Cleave damage is a separate stat to cleave (hitting multiple targets)

#

Sometimes the cleave target stat on weapons will adjust both, but the cleave stat on blessings seems to just to affect your ability to hit multiple targets

#

I will test it now though

umbral scaffold
#

I’m happy my main gun is now max god roll

junior needle
umbral scaffold
junior needle
#

Why would I want to try out lower value perks and a blessing that not only gives you no damage but also makes it harder to hit subsequent headshots?

umbral scaffold
#

you saying that yet i tested it its good enough damage stacking with perks

#

so idk what youre on bud

#

but ok

junior needle
#

You may be happy with it but

#

It's not a god roll

umbral scaffold
#

wanna say onsluaght is best with surgical but getting only 20 percent per hit isnt best

#

when i can get 40 percent

#

and saying it charges slow isnt the case Xd

junior needle
#

You can use no respite instead of falter, it won't gimp you at the very least KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold
#

not the best combo in terms of pure damage crits just does it so much better

#

its great with bayonett though

#

that kinda combo

#

but when are you using bayonet as a primary

junior needle
#

No no, no respite instead of falter

#

Not no respite with falter

#

That's the typical "I want to maximize surgical" blessing

dusty nacelle
#

How important is cleave targets on a DC4 assuming i'm really just using it to hordeclear?

junior needle
severe adder
#

what pek?

bitter turtle
#

and yes

#

i use bayonet as primary lul

#

helbore is actually just a bayonet with a bonus gun attached

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

the spear part is stronger KEKW_ogryn

severe adder
#

buhhhhh

#

i liteally just put on deathsplitter

bitter turtle
#

no respite makes it easy to 2 shot rager with bayonet stab

junior needle
#

dumdum is bugged to be much better than it seems

severe adder
#

oh

#

well

#

fo now

#

sprint to flak? ionly have 1 swithc slot

junior needle
#

Yes, that's the most value

white minnow
#

is dumdum bugged?

junior needle
#

It functions like anoint in blood

#

instead of what the description actually states

#

Literally like anoint in blood

#

exactly the same mechanically apart from the stacking

white minnow
#

huh neat

bitter turtle
junior needle
#

So it's active up to 25m

bitter turtle
#

it just drops over distance

junior needle
white minnow
#

at least just testing with loadout config, that just seems to be how close damage is implemented

#

testing with fire frenzy and the rightmost +close damage on ult talent node

#

unless it's just that those blessings and the talent are uniquely fucked compared to whatever other sources of close damage exist

#

just seems like how .damage_near or close_damage_buff be unless there's something that should be overriding those values

terse idol
#

Give you the buff

#

But unless you're close

#

You don't get the damage

fleet garden
#

exactly what it does

#

you can stack dmg on range

#

but dmg benefit is when you are close

junior needle
#

Just tapering off, exactly like anoint in blood

white minnow
#

that just seems to be how close damage is implemented though

#

in general

#

rather than being specific to dumdum

#

if dumdum is bugged, then fire frenzy and the +close damage on ult talent node are also bugged

junior needle
#

Ff works the same at all ranges

#

Despite being close damage

#

And the close damage on ult, let me check

#

Last I checked it just didn't apply past the distance

#

7m

severe adder
#

what is best power sword? 3 or 6?

hollow ibex
#

6

severe adder
#

i just got this beauty

#

should i upgrade it or get power cycler 4

white minnow
#

i stood at a distance >8m and compared 5 stacks of t4 dumdum with 3 stacks of t4 fire frenzy (both nominally giving +30% close damage) and dealt the same amount of damage

severe adder
#

randomly decided to roll and powersword and got that

hollow ibex
#

nice sword but imo if you're going to get a ps, you might as well get a 6

white minnow
#

then, I stood at a distance >8 and compared 3 stacks of t2 dumdum with the +close damage on ult node (both nominally giving +15% close damage) and dealt the same amount of damage

hollow ibex
#

yeah take the pc4 off

severe adder
#

kk

junior needle
#

Huh, looks like the ult got changed to be that too

#

I tested it awhile back and it just didn't work outside of that range

white minnow
#

ohh

severe adder
#

what is the other good blessing for powersoerd

white minnow
#

recent change then huh

hollow ibex
#

brutal momentum or sunder

bitter turtle
severe adder
#

shit really??? i already go sunderer

bitter turtle
#

Yes

severe adder
#

wha bout like ramapge

#

thats best on other wpaons

white minnow
#

brumo for more damage and sunder if you want some more CC

severe adder
#

or slaugthere

bitter turtle
#

Passable but worse

severe adder
#

im running it with a ciag

bitter turtle
#

Bromentum better for hordes

white minnow
#

rampage/slaughterer are p much just out-competed by brutal momentum

bitter turtle
#

Sunder better for packs of elites

#

Take your pick

severe adder
#

sunder ig

umbral granite
#

Remind me: What stats do you look for when making a good mk4 cadian assault chainsword? Damage and shredder, then i forget if Finess or Penetration is more important.

bitter turtle
#

shredder lesser so

#

you can dump mobility or shredder but preferably mobility

#

shredder only affects rev attack

umbral granite
#

ah, I thought it also applied to the heavy attacks, since you can hear the rev sound when you do a heavy

bitter turtle
#

no

#

also the numbercatperson shared with me the secret sauce today

#

put bloodletter on it

#

so you can oneshot mauler/bulwark and 2shot crushers

#

with rev

umbral granite
bitter turtle
#

ok

#

fine

#

i guess im just out of the loop

#

fuck you too

#

😔

#

here I was putting rampage wrath/ss on it like a chump

umbral granite
#

I am basically attempting to upgrade this thing. hence why i was asking about the important stats again

#

I originally got it as a blue mission reward and consecrated it a few times before swapping out the stamina perk for flak and bloodletter 1 for bloodletter 4

#

Rev-it-up is a fun blessing, but it's not the best when you're weapon's mobility stat is so low

midnight totem
#

That's a good roll

#

Too bad about Rev it up

umbral granite
#

Brunt you karking BASTARD i was so exited when i saw the 3 80% stats before i looked at what they were attatched to.

midnight totem
#

Ah, the assault chain massager

umbral granite
#

This one is almost promising... but that ripper stat seems a bit too low for me.

midnight totem
#

I like the ripper Stat to be at a certain threshold

#

I think, 73?

#

Atleast 70

#

So what are key talents to use when using the Zarona Revolver?

trim steppe
#

weapon spec keystone

native furnace
#

Huh. This worth it if I went Supercharge to BM and groaners/pox to Carapace? I know there was a breakpoint out there specifically for Crusher two-shot combos.

#

The +1 power cycler is irritating, but if the goal is to 2-shot the crusher anyway...

junior needle
#

The stats are alright, those perks and supercharge are uh

#

bad

#

If you don't have anything else then it can be worth the pickup though

#

Fishing for cycler 4 can take quite awhile

sonic marlin
#

decent?

#

this is the best shotgun right

Technically it became much easier to find after the crafting update, don't think anything changed on the talent patch specifically.

Although I still, albeit rarely, see people complaining on here about how many pswords they roll only to not find it

#

I swear to the Emperor, if you kark this up Hadron...

#

okay, that's a good start

feral cave
#

Got a decent shovel roll, gonna switch out All or Nothing, what perk should I take? please @ me

feral cave
#

Yep gonna put on Decimator, what perk?

harsh ridge
#

oop, my bad. brain fart

#

I'd probably say flak or maniac @feral cave

feral cave
#

I was heavily considering it, just wanted a second opinion. Thank you!!

#

11th time today where the chainsword would be perfect if 2 stats were swapped... brunt is teasing me.

#

And I am out of dockets to spin the brunt lottery...

trim steppe
trim steppe
feral cave
#

ty for the advice!

native furnace
#

Decimator instead of Skullcrusher can absolutely work. it's just about applying a debuff vs another flat increase.

#

You need Thrust, though.

trim steppe
umbral granite
#

because i got diamantine for Days

trim steppe
native furnace
trim steppe
zealous wyvern
#

diamonds

native furnace
#

The goal is for the initial tap to kill, rather than needing the in + out.

trim steppe
native furnace
#

If you had Decimator stacked, you miiiiiight get a faster-heavy-breakpoint against a Mauler? You'll be guaranteed to in-and-out a Crusher with it even without Decimator stacked.

umbral granite
#

I'm just trying to replace this semi-scuffed thing with a better one

native furnace
trim steppe
native furnace
#

It's possible that the "best" play is Elites 10% + Flak 25%

trim steppe
#

I do wish the elites damage mattered more, it ends up being a dead perk on almost every weapon

raw steppe
#

it does matter quite often lol

#

quite a few weapons hit a few breakpoints

#

with it

native furnace
#

You might be able to decrease the thrust charge time you need to one-shot a lot of mobs with Elites.

#

Like, you can fast-heavy-special a Rager with 3 charges of thrust (and no maniac and no elites). Maybe with elites and decimator it's 1 or 2 charges instead.

#

That's a LOT less swing time to kill.

raw steppe
#

plasma hits a gunner BP with elites; surge hits a shotgunner BP with flak+elites and GG hits a mutant BP with maniac+specialist

native furnace
#

But like... not to play this down ,I think your shovel is the best roll I've ever seen @trim steppe. We're just quibbling about what'll make it kill a few mobs a little faster, when it's basically capable of universal one-shot-charged-heavy-specials on every mob in the game.

trim steppe
manic vortex
#

is this good enough and what blessing and perk should i change to?

trim steppe
manic vortex
#

how a bout glory hunter and flak armor?

trim steppe
#

I like gloryhunter on plasma personally, others might suggest changing it to blaze away

junior needle
#

Yeah shattering to gets hot at the least

agile forge
#

Shattering has gotta go either way

junior needle
#

+elites is actually not bad on plasma

agile forge
#

If you are shooting something with a plasma, it doesn't need armour stripping

junior needle
#

But what perks it wants is very dependant on your tree and rolls

agile forge
#

You're gonna kill it either way

junior needle
#

Almost everything is positive at every range

manic vortex
#

in that case flak to carapace because its weakest against it?

trim steppe
junior needle
#

So your main focus should be getting one shot headshots on various maniacs and gunners

#

Except the mutie, don't really need to concern yourself with that one

#

one shot on lights I should add

manic vortex
#

this is my usual build

#

with ammo aura at the top

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

If you can

#

Download the load out mod and test what perk will meaningfully reduce the number of shots it takes to kill something

#

If too lazy I agree with flak

tall torrent
#

Flak gives best consistency

trim steppe
#

I do like flak on plasma

tall torrent
#

Maniac needs lots of talent investments for meaningful breakpoints

#

Carapace only really helps vs crushers

#

Unyielding doesn’t have meaningful breakpoints but u have better dps

#

Elite is priority, basically always take

hybrid token
#

does plasma still have ~the issue~

tall torrent
#

Visual bug? Yea

manic vortex
#

hmm okay. Should i remain weapon specialist or go middle tree with plasma?

bitter turtle
#

But both are valid

hybrid token
#

i like the middle, just giving your team a flat 12% damage permanently is kinda cracked

bitter turtle
#

Fuck the team

#

Also if ur keeping gloryhunter on it

#

This is the only time

tall torrent
#

Play born leader

#

It is very good

bitter turtle
#

I'd unironically recommend born leader over for the empruh

#

Actually decent with ck stacked together

tall torrent
#

Gloryhunter + CK with born leader basically gives 40 toughness to all 3 teammates with 3 shotgunner 1 shot kills

#

It is excellent

bitter turtle
#

Just never take born leader with any other gun KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

The emperor is trying to tell us smth by making the “one shot everything” playstyle work best for medic vet

junior needle
#

It's alright

tall torrent
junior needle
#

Worth noting that in general, it is not "very good" by any measure

manic vortex
#

howa about covering fire?

junior needle
#

But gets more value from glory hunter

manic vortex
#

or is 5 meter too little

junior needle
#

and the naturally riduculous state of plasma

tall torrent
junior needle
#

Covering fire is not very good

#

Doesn't apply to you either

manic vortex
#

oh right thats true

junior needle
#

Unless you spray into crowds surrounding your meleeing teammates

#

Not a lot of value

white minnow
#

the 4 vet born leader covering fire meta will reign supreme one day

slow spade
#

Clearly they need to make covering fire give yellow toughness at 100% UwU

bitter turtle
slow spade
#

If only covering fire didn't last like 5 seconds

#

If only covering fire applied to yourself and worked on melee kills!

#

I swear it would be balans

#

No lie

#

UwU

#

Pls make exhil takedown apply to melee

#

Trust me, it'll go fine

white minnow
#

absolutely

serene bough
#

Covering fire giving some yellow toughness wouldn't be a bad idea actually

white minnow
#

now here's the million dollar question

agile forge
#

Give psyker a way to generate it pls

white minnow
#

if you shoot a burster near a teammate

serene bough
#

At least you'd be able to tell whether or not it's actually being useful

white minnow
#

do they get the gold toughness first

#

or do they take the damage first

slow spade
#

Yes

agile forge
#

Pop like 20 of it on dome expiry or something

white minnow
#

the meta of covering fire vet shooting bursters near their teammates

How many shots can I miss for the On Target Penance with a shotgun?

#

Would help if my teammates don't instantly mow down whatever Im trying to jam my shotgun barrel into.

bitter turtle
#

The obvious solution is to kill your teammates

crimson sonnet
#

TRUE

paper brook
#

Do I need Onslaught for Revolver? It seems pointless since it's single fire

#

Just trying to adjust my build

bitter turtle
#

Onslaught on revolver sounds like a terrible idea

paper brook
#

Yeah I thought so to. I might drop it and get weapon specialist as someone here recommended

bitter turtle
#

Rending over the 100 armor modifier is reduced by 1/4

#

So unless you don't run handcannon

#

More rending is probably not worthwhile

white minnow
#

and only getting 1 stack of brittleness (2.5% rending) onto a target per shot

#

(beginning on the 2nd consecutive hit to a target because of the repeated hit condition)

junior needle
#

Even on something like the mg4 las, it's hard to justify onslaught

odd sparrow
#

onslaught is only for recons and maybe autoguns if you just really hate having carapace dmg on your melee

slow spade
#

Sadly Onslaught has the problem that Weapon Specialist is pretty meh for the full auto guns

toxic leaf
#

should i rip pc4 from the left and put it on the right

odd sparrow
#

depends on if the one on left hits the 1 hit shotgunners in 1hit if you change flak to elites

slow spade
#

And replace Infested damage with something like maniac (fuck ragers and mutants)

#

Missing 5% weakspot damage from brutal momentum will (hopefully) not matter in the long run

toxic leaf
#

thats like 2 damage

slow spade
toxic leaf
#

this would be melk

#

he sold me the right lol

#

just a few blessing tiers off

odd sparrow
#

it all comes down to whether the one on the left already hits the BP's or not. Bc the only real upside of the one on the right is the extra mobility which can be pretty big

What’s the difference between VI and IV Catachan swords (or whatever the hell the numbers are)

I've been seeing a lot more people running the Revolver lately

The Zarona virus is spreading

crude ermine
#

It's a very strong weapon

#

But I just lost interest in it

paper brook
#

Is Weapons specialist good when used with the Zarona?

junior needle
#

Yes, although you adjust the build a bit

#

It's very good

#

The adjustment is taking crucian instead of surgical and the reload talent, so you get the full benefit of crucian on every shot

paper brook

#

You don't really want to run too much reload on wep spec

Cause reloading resets your crucian

junior needle
#

Its attached to ws

paper brook
#

ah ok sorry I misunderstood

#

Also is deadshot worth picking up or no?

junior needle
#

Go down to zero, kill something in melee, go to range and get 1 boolet, kill something, repeat

#

Not sure if you even need deadshot between ws and crucian and the natural revolver crit

junior needle
#

You may not need rending strikes if you have handcannon

#

You can shift that point to precision strikes or the suppression talent, which will help you actually hit gunners when being suppressed

#

Don't recommend taking both the revive and overshield for voc

#

Overshield alone is extremely strong, and maximizing uptime on it will keep your team from going down in the first place

Yeah trench feels great for melee, much more than you'd expect from a 10% difference

do i need multiple sniper resists to not eat shit the moment i fumble a dodge or should one still be fine as long as i have some toughness damage resist going on

junior needle
#

Not sure if you can even get enough res/toughness to tank sniper shots anymore on vet

#

But overshield can actually tank it

#

Because yellow toughness is just that gud

#

Also snipers have the unique attribute of doing full damage to your health if any of the initial damage penetrates your toughness

#

So you have to tank the whole hit to avoid health damage

I was thinking of running it for laspistol

gunners/reapers can do dnd for whatever reason but not reciprocity

it has relatively gentle recoil per shot, the way it feels to me

i've got a decent heavy one, but havne't ever gotten a good roll on a light infantry yet

#

i hear people are going nuts over the light infantry autogun. does it have a super high crit rate or something?

blissful flame
#

yes, it's 4am and my words are leaving me lol

agile forge
#

It's just got very favourable numbers, it's a powerhouse (crit is part of that)

#

I think it has the wrong damage stat

#

Like does as much damage as a Graia per shot, but it shoots faster

#

Try it if you can make one before it gets nerfed, feels super nice to use

white minnow
#

its damage profile isn't bugged

#

it just has higher ADMs at close range

pearl granite
#

melk trust me a bit too much this week

agile forge

Also very predictable recoil, idk how it compares with other IAGs since it's the only one I ever used

blissful flame

hrm, i guess those blessings are workable?

I personally love raking fire on my columnus iag

i gotta keep the blessings, cause the perks are straight trash lol

although it rarely get the chance to work...

come to think of it, this is my first 550 ever, i think lol

would be awesome if it had dumdum 4 somewhere

it would, but i'm gonna settle for changing the perks to flak and maniac

what kind of blessing should i have on them

blissful flame
pearl granite
#

can always make another one thumbsup_ogryn

blissful flame
#

i guess deadshot got changed sicne i last played before the rework. back then, as far as i coudl tell, extra stamina on deadshot was actually detrimental

#

because it seemed to me the cost was percentage based of total stamina

muted knot
#

I just don't really like raking fire

blissful flame
#

neither do i to be honest, i jsut thought stamina was useless lol

#

i'm re-learning

white minnow
#

yeah the cost is flat now instead of percentage

muted knot
#

It is mostly

#

Deadshot is the only thing I can think of that really works with stamina

pearl granite
#

deadshot being percentage was one of the stupidest thing ever KEKW_ogryn

muted knot
#

You get pretty dumb crits with the IAG with deadshot

The redditor had some actual breakdown of Deadshot iags

how on earth do you do long bomb

agile forge
#

Throw bomb very far

#

I got mine on enclavum baross finale

#

just keep trying long throws and hope it works at some point

#

or try throwing one directly upwards in an outdoors map when you have a horde on you

#

I hear that works too

icy rampart
#

does quick clicking reduce the fuse

tiny summit
#

I did mine at the start before you drop down on hab dreyko

spice wadi
#

I did mine on hab dreyko drop down, quick throw aimed at the sky

#

tbh just randomly throwing one at the ceiling in large rooms will eventually get you it

sharp ember
#

quick is closer to 3

#

good chance of getting it when you measure the explosion distance and look for spots where a horde will drop off a ledge

icy rampart
#

which maps are best?

gusty bison
#

Any long bridge

icy rampart
#

I see around 25-30m for the quick click

#

if they die to bleed that counts right

sonic marlin
icy rampart
#

is there a guide to what power, finesse, rending etc are

pearl granite
#

i'm scrub tho 😦

bitter turtle
#

Power is dmg
Finesse is weakspot/crit damage and sometimes attackspeed

#

Rending adds to your armor modifier

pearl granite
bitter turtle
#

So if you do 50% damage to carapace

#

20 rending makes it 70% instead

#

Any rending above 100 percent is reduced in effectiveness by a quarter

#

So 20 rending at 100 armor modifier is 105% damage only

#

Also rending only affects flak/carapace/unyielding/maniac

sonic marlin
#

there goes my first attempt at auric maelstrom

slow spade
#

Judging from plasteel you got decently far in at least

#

Looks like just an unfortunate run :c

agile forge
#

That's even stronger than I thought

slow spade
#

Yeah rending is highly desired for most weapons

#

Part of why crits are so good

#

Because it gives rending + damage

That's the key word

umbral scaffold
#

there is one universe where is worth picking up weapons specialist over focus target? i see a lot of ppl doing build with the former but i missing the point where it can be more useful Wut

slow spade
#

Focus Target is better if your team doesn't suck

#

For more details, it depends on weapon

crude fiber
#

shredder auto pistol and tac ax with smokes for off meta build

slow spade
#

Weapon Specialist + Revolver is really due to Handcannon needing crits

agile forge
#

Reload 1 bullet every time you swap and kill with melee iirc

slow spade
#

While other builds like Columbus can't really use Weapon Specialists that well

crude fiber
#

weapon specialist is mostly useful for melee weapons unless you have a revolver/plasma gun for guaranteed crits

i feel like i wanna play normal damnation forever cuz i always have control over the game and know i won't lose

slow spade
#

Because Focus Target dramatically gets worse when you're not in coherency/teammates aren't shooting pings

sonic marlin
slow spade
#

There's really no reason to go beyond Damnation except for dockets

#

If you're still in the grind phase, just do quickplay standards or Aurics if Brunt is fucking you

sonic marlin
#

well isn't it more about 'i'm stronger so why play lower difficulty and not auric'

slow spade
#

If you're at that point, just do whatever is most fun

hollow ibex

i play auric most of the time for dockets

slow spade

I sometimes do Heresy just to mess around

It is about the masochistic joy

hollow ibex

Having the issue of not enough targets that you will overlap is rare enough anyways in maelstrom

outer wolf
#

Are decimator and skullcrusher good blessings for the shovel?

slow spade
#

I personally use Decimator and think its good but I get that's hard to make consistent :c

#

Idk what skullcrusher is

outer wolf
#

melee weak to flak and should be good to go?

umbral scaffold
#

i was missing the picture of endgame content😂

slow spade
#

Yeah I figured "endgame" would be for maelstrom

#

Where the poxwalkers are replaced with trappers and ragers UwU

umbral scaffold
#

anyway if 'bad teammates' was only them not being in coherency....usually that means they don't even takes cover under heavy fire🤣 OmegaGuardsmanHype

slow spade
#

The bar for player skill in Darktide is so low that knowing how to block and dodge is considered good

slow spade
# outer wolf

Yeah, seems good to me. I hear some players don't like maniac damage as its only good vs dreg ragers + mutants

#

But it should be fine imo

icy rampart
#

how do you deal with carapace if you use a lasgun?

slow spade
#

I hear Unarmored is good too due to a lot of exposed heads on trash hordes

slow spade
#

If you don't use either, run faster than your team

icy rampart
#

what's the interaction between rending and carapace, and finesse and carapace

slow spade
#

So +10% rending is +10% damage for most lasguns

#

Finesse is weakspot damage which is alright but you want crits

agile forge
#

Finesse is also crit damage?

#

And attack speed I think?

slow spade
#

Ah yeah crit damage too

#

Attack speed only for melee iirc

icy rampart
slow spade
#

But the reason you want crits is because crits have their own rending

#

So crits + rending talents CAN allow you to kill crushers with a normal lasgun

slow spade
#

Rending is largely unneeded for carapace on the helbore

sonic marlin
#

just found out u can turn off profanity filter

wary galleon

sonic marlin
#

my only reason to use it would be for the bayonet

#

Lol ok

sonic marlin
#

i mean if the bayonet is bad then isn't there better dps weapon?

Yeah the helbore

#

You shoot them instead

wary galleon

sonic marlin

#

Helbore's dps is "bad" but that's like saying revolver dps is bad

#

It will 1-2 shot kill anything not a boss.

#

However shocktrooper means it basically never needs ammo and it rarely reloads

slate hawk
#

The milk isn't sour today! Though the first target kinda sucks

icy rampart

as far as I can see, lasguns take major Ls compared to autoguns on DPS, but are more ammo efficient

is that fair or am I missing something

If you aren't popping heads constantly with Las might as well use autoguns.

I never experienced such a thing, and unfortuantely dont know what todo really. maybe contact FS 🤷‍♂️

#

Crits are good lol

#

Don't ignore higher damage and rending

#

Damage dropoff affects your armor pen

Crit and weakspot both go off of finesse

So headshotting with an autogun also gets u high dps
