Pretty good

lolrolled this one for kicks.

Not bad

#

The tier 4 Sundar worth anything? Even better than Wrath 4?

#

For Powersword.

hollow ibex

sunder/brumentum + pc4 are the meta blessing combos

#

New info let's goo

polar charm
#

Huh. Neat. Got both power cycler 4 and sunder 4 so kinda tempted to make a workable powersword.

tall torrent
#

Sunder gives u the highest cleave currently possible in this game

odd sparrow
#

Brutal momentum is way better tho, gives infinite cleave on weakspot kill and the weakspot dmg helps with hitting 1hit breakpoints

tall torrent
#

It’s good

#

Sunder is just for a different purpose

odd sparrow
#

For clearing trash that doesnt matter

terse idol
#

It does matter

I hope when space marines 2 comes out we get some kick ass Cadian armor

Horde clear is important 🥹

BM makes u kill bruisers a lot better

testing some nade fun, somehow blind luck let me drop 5 krak nades on the boss with 3 throws, and become top boss damage dealer 😂

Some hordes are Infested instead

#

But unarmored covers a lot of hordes

Lol

why can't that stripped fire be lvl 4 instead

But it was a lock anyways

Every knife vet I’ve encountered has been useless. Only exception was one guy who was good because he mostly shot with his plasma gun. At this point I just use it as a sign everyone on the team will have to step it up to carry the dead weight

I feel like knife players are usually either really good or really bad

That’s true, it’s possible to be useless with any weapon. But with knife it’s pretty much every person using it.

If it was like "hold special to load" as many as you want it'd be fine

My veteran has the best outfit

wary galleon
tiny summit
#

Kinda mad there's how many variations of the class's standard uniform in the commissary and almost othing of variety based on the penance unlocks or prisoner theme outfits. Like say armored prisoner garb or as many colors as the standard uniform offerings

tacit wren
#

That's every class though

#

The cosmetics you can earn in game are certain ones and mostly reskins/recolors

#

The cosmetics that are more unique are through aquilas. even the stuff you earn in penance are mostly recolors with a few unique ones

frank ether
#

I agree btw

tiny summit
frank ether
#

some really low effort stuff out there in the aquilla shop that I would ignore even as ordo docket options lmao

tiny summit
#

Especially FOMO recolors

frank ether
#

yea the recolors are the most outrageous part

#

I think I could at least give them the benefit of the doubt if they included recolors in bundles or better yet separated camos entirely as their own separate inventory slot to give players customizability

tiny summit
#

If I buy a style, I should have that style with X colors as a premium cosmetic or have it unlocked with dockets. I'll pay for unique models and shit but the recolors just turns me away

frank ether
#

Its kind of an uh..

#

test of your mental resistance to fomo bs

#

I mean the rotational shop is there for probably this reason

#

so they can sell recolors and such

tiny summit
#

Been over a year and there's only 2 colors for weapons for dockets

#

Yep. People won't know its a recolor if they either didn't see or remember the previous cycle

frank ether
#

Will probably remain that way till this game dies tbh

#

I've had uh.. more drip in free to play games

#

I think fucking apex legends gave me more drip without paying a dollar

#

I played that game like.. maybe 50 hours? I was swimming in cosmetics

#

I guess that game's version of fomo is like lootbox gambling though

#

so they prolly got some giga whales

tiny summit
#

Game still going strong despite having several cycles of absurd event cosmetic pricing

frank ether
#

I'm confident game could lose another %75 of its current playerbase and fatshark would probably not care

#

I'd still be playing Apex if it didn't shift focus towards crossplay and consoles in particular

#

I'm too casual to deal with aim assist tuned to compete against pro level mouse aim

#

I can't just come home tired and play like shroud on adderal just to get a kill lmao

tiny summit
#

I'm satisfied right now. Came in when the class overhauls happened. Binged it, all characters are decently kitted and melk isn't reliable enough to worry about weeklies. Now to grind Tekken 8

#

I'll pay attention when new content drops but yea got other games. Actually, slow updates are good for me because now I can focus on other things

frank ether
#

for darktide yea playing the shopping mall experience was never the strong suit of the game anyways

tiny summit
#

Debating if I want to learn reina. She looks cool but I'm playing yoshi who is also cool.

spark helm
#

play who you think is cool yk?

#

It's tekken. :3

#

Reina is straight up the first Mishima I've ever seen and thought "yeah, I'll play them"

#

Her animations and design are too cool to me.

#

Lightning but...checks notes

tiny summit
#

Apparently she's like near the top in popularity for player choice

spark helm
#

P U R P LE?!

#

From a friend that plays the game I was told that she's like third or something in online player picks.

#

Third or sixth. Can probably look it up somewhere.

#

this one is from event hubs from feb 01 this year

tiny summit
#

Yes I was just about to post

#

But this is the high ranks

#

Granted, idk where eventhubs is getting that info and eventhubs has had a shaky past in the past with being a little inconsistent to agenda'd with their info reveals.

but whatever.

Might be a twitter post or something from harada.

So it's only 10k players

#

I'll admit to just snatching the image and not checking anything else.

#

so thanks for the clarity.

tiny summit
#

But I will say with my short time and only just now reaching yellow last night, I've definitely seen Reina the most

spark helm
#

Yeah and the person that did it mentions this on twitter too. It's for steam pc specifically at warrior rank and the 10k cap you mentioned.

tiny summit
#

Dragunov and Reina stocks

But yeah, reina is definitely a popular one. I think she's neat but I'm more into Azucena because I think she's just great.

wise fossil
#

So Puppet Master for Psyker and Towering Presence for Ogryn are both coherency radius, whereas Charismatic is just aura radius, not coherency. Is that correct?

spark helm
#

yes

#

wait

#

yeah just aura radius

#

with all of your coherency bonuses being extended to that range.

junior needle
#

Your aura range is, or at least should be, your coherency

wise fossil
junior needle
#

Not directly, but it should have all the benefits of extending your coherency

wise fossil
#

I figured it only applied to stuff like Survivalist due to the difference in wording compared to Towering Presence

junior needle
#

One important thing to note is that fatshark tooltips blow

#

Like how some talents say "base damage" for absolutely no reason, when it's actually just regular damage

#

It was labeled "base" for no reason

wise fossil
#

Yeah I've heard that even the iconless talant nodes will be coded differently. Like two nodes that both say +5% toughness damage reduction might not work exactly the same

junior needle
#

Probably to make it multiplicative

XII has been power creeped

or a good automatic lasgun but fatshark wont let that happen

bitter turtle
#

i thought laspis might be too dinky for no ammo scabs

#

actually pretty decent though

#

infernus actually useful over dumdum KEKW_ogryn

#

dunno if it was just bc itw as no ammo scabs but i might prefer wep specialist over marksman focus

bitter turtle
#

stamina/toughness is the best one to feed deadshot

#

keep in mind most ppl dont build their guns around you giving a conditional damage buff

#

some dude on your team with revolver doesnt care if they get 10% more dmg from your buff, their 2k per shot on a crusher being buffed to 2.2k doesnt actually make a difference, still takes 2 shots to kill

#

meanwhile toughness feeding is nice on top of the stamina feeding for deadshot builds is insanely good

#

if i can only take 1 its usually that one

acoustic carbon
bitter turtle
#

i think

#

in term sof standalone biggest effect

#

i would say wep specialist is more impactful then

#

its a huge difference on melees

#

but very expensive to path down there

#

compared to the middle tree where you naturally always have to path halfway down anyway because tac awareness

timid otter
#

Considering how many bps there are a player cannot build for every breakpoint

#

so 5% or 6% damage might actually do something here, there.

bitter turtle
#

that's a big maybe

timid otter
#

Its really not

bitter turtle
#

on a damage buff that's already inconsistent

bitter turtle
#

alright, name one off the top of your head that activates off redirect fire lol

untold mulch
#

Marksman Focus I still personalyl state is terrible

bitter turtle
#

on a gun that's already built properly ofc

#

i'd actually say its quite rare

#

most of the time if you're only 10% away from the bp you can twist your tree into making it work if its important

#

and when someone gives up on the bp its because its too far to bother

timid otter
#

I think you somewhat miss the point

acoustic carbon
# bitter turtle but very expensive to path down there

True. I mainly love the Focus Target as it's teamwide, instead of only you. Tag a Beast of Nurgle at 8 stacks, it'll receive +32% damage. and if you had stacked the Redirect Fire 8 times, that's +12% damage from there and you'll deal remarkable damage to the Boss. Which are the enemy types that can end a level out of the blue on some cases, sadly.

raw steppe
bitter turtle
timid otter
#

Theres multiple types of enemies in the game

raw steppe
#

But gunner BP

timid otter
#

Weapons can crit, headshot.

raw steppe
#

Is hit with tag

timid otter
#

One of the breakpoints will be hit with 5% or 6% just due to the pure number of variables in the game.

bitter turtle
#

like i said

#

name one

#

but being someone that almost exclusively uses semi autos

timid otter
#

Dreg shotgunners on mk 6 catachan knife.

bitter turtle
#

i can say its very rare

timid otter
#

Its what i currently have open

#

And yes it would hit the bp on shotgunners with 5% to 6%

raw steppe
#

Are you hitting shotgunners with melee very often

#

I feel like i very rarely melee them

terse idol
#

I mean

#

That is the mk6, even on a heavy attack on a headshot?

bitter turtle
#

perfect knife

#

way more than 10% off lol

#

and yes i have even 10% melee on it

terse idol
#

This is the issue that... 5% and 6% extra damage in practice is very tiny

timid otter
#

What is the knife by the way.

#

Is it with desperado?

bitter turtle
#

YES

terse idol
#

Very rarely will you ever need 5 or 6%

bitter turtle
#

er

#

yes*

timid otter
#

10% melee?

#

Flak?

terse idol
#

Shot gunners aren't flak

#

Least their head ai t

bitter turtle
timid otter
#

Nah just interested

bitter turtle
#

their head is unarmored

#

but yes

#

im running flak

#

every relevant melee buff taken

#

rending does nothing ofc since unarmored

#

80/80/80 knife too

timid otter
#

Generally the actual breakpoint discussion is going nowhere.

bitter turtle
#

its going nowhere bc its not common of a scenario at all

#

and even if this was an example

#

u'd

#

have to be in coherency fighting this exact enemy with a perfectly rolled knife

#

and only in that situation

#

and that one alone

#

redirect fire might do something

#

if its stacked enough lmao

tall torrent
#

I mean, depends on weapon

bitter turtle
#

granted

#

automatics

#

its good

tall torrent
#

Some weapons benefit from RF a lot

bitter turtle
#

but about half the weapons in the game dont really care about it

tall torrent
#

I think if u don’t need RF to maintain breakpoint, target down is better

bitter turtle
#

that's why I'd run target down over it almost always unless the RF is for urself

#

all the team buff shit is sadly something you should only consider as a nice bonus if it happens to help your team

#

primarily its for your own benefit

tall torrent
#

Pretty much

timid otter
#

Ok

#

take a look at this picture

#

This is just for one weapon in the game.

terse idol
#

what does it mean 🥹

timid otter
#

Theres alot of 6% to 5% on there

bitter turtle
#

im illiterate

timid otter
#

It doesnt factor in every enemy in the game.

bitter turtle
#

picture is confusing

terse idol
#

No but like explain what it meeans

tall torrent
#

Also RF scales off ur base dmg

timid otter
#

ok one sec

#

This is one panel.

terse idol
timid otter
#

I changed it to instead of damage numbers its breakpoints'

bitter turtle
#

i still dont fully understand

#

nor do i even know what weapon this is

#

running what tree

timid otter
#

9 means that the number of attacks to hit a breakpoint is over 9

tall torrent
# terse idol Wait for a knife that's pretty terrible

TLDR is, unless you have weapons that specifically benefit in breakpoints from from RF, target down is better (and that’s still a situational luxury pick imo)

8 stacks modifier is generally not good enough to be worth running

timid otter
#

8(6%) means that it needs 8 hits to kill the target.

terse idol
#

Well the calculator doesn't actually take into account any perks does it?

timid otter
#

its 6% away from hitting a breakpoint

terse idol
#

I mean talents

white minnow
#

is that a agri braced?

bitter turtle
#

what weapon even takes 8 hits to kill a bulwark unless its auto

timid otter
#

But the general point is that weapons can benefit from 5% to 6% without knowing it

terse idol
timid otter
#

Becuase theres so many enemies in the game.

#

And so many variables in how damage is dealt.

terse idol
#

I mean

bitter turtle
#

by that same logic

white minnow
#

on the otherhand that breakpoint may be reached by taking something like +elite damage or whatnot

bitter turtle
#

there are even more situations where it did absolutely nothing

Its why people build for their own break points

timid otter
bitter turtle
#

that's why nobody relies on something like redirect

#

unless its the person using it

terse idol
#

Yeah

white minnow
#

at least with weapon spec, i don't have to do any breakpoint testing

terse idol
#

Like, its why nobody builds for a break point from any other class

white minnow
#

attack speed goes brrr

terse idol
#

You only ever build your own

timid otter
bitter turtle
#

even with 10% elites

#

ur still not hitting

tall torrent
#

I’ll be honest, I don’t really care too much about breakpoint calculations if it’s more than 3 headshots to kill

bitter turtle
#

the shotgunner bp

#

lol

#

with or without redirect fire

tall torrent
#

Redirect fire is good for several 1 shot kill guns

#

I wouldn’t take it for smth like iag5

bitter turtle
#

yeah its situationally good for yourself

#

the "team utility" aspect of it shouldn't really be considered is what i was getting at

tall torrent
#

I take it for myself and whatever dmg bonus it gives to my teammates is just me being nice

bitter turtle
#

personally I find the stam regen node far more useful anyway for 1shot kill guns just to continuously sustain deadshot for crit bps

#

but if a gun needs RF for a bp that's the main situation it shines in

tall torrent
#

The only gun I really take crit breakpoint seriously is Mk2a revolver tbh

bitter turtle
#

not v7?

#

unless you dont play it

timid otter
#

Im going to go back to what i was doing now

tall torrent
#

Crit BP is flamer 1HS

bitter turtle
#

nah not for gunners

#

i also build it for no crit gunners

#

but rager/flamers

#

and to a lesser extent maulers

tall torrent
#

I think flamer already is crit 1HS even without maniac

midnight totem
#

just had a level 16 vet in my damnation game

bitter turtle
#

i even need to run 10% rending to do it

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

otherwise it doesnt reach

midnight totem
#

that was painful

tall torrent
#

The other thing is like

#

I also take range etc into consideration

bitter turtle
#

very sad

#

lol

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

that's w/o 10% rending

#

with 10% it kills

#

need 3 tag stacks (at least for my gun is 72/80, its literally 9 dmg off so maybe 80/80 would only need 2 stacks) if you dont run 10% rending

#

tbh since its on the way to focus target i just take the 10% rending anyway

midnight totem
#

I think the only issue with the kantrael laspistol to me

#

Is that it cannot kill dogs

tall torrent
#

Mk2 Laspistol is better imo

midnight totem
#

Gotta land those headshots for flamers

tall torrent
#

It’s still only like 430 per headshot

#

Just not very good

bitter turtle
#

it staggers them pretty quick at least

midnight totem
#

Atleast the flamer doesn't go flying around

bitter turtle
#

and ya

midnight totem
#

I have to jerk my mouse around to track a dog even after shooting it in the head

bitter turtle
#

i do not like the kant laspistol

#

made me almost drop teh weapon at first

#

feels like the gun wants to spam for ghost procs and it does not do that nearly as well

midnight totem
#

Nah, accutran is for ghost procs

bitter turtle
#

do you run it ghostless @ kant?

midnight totem
#

I run reassuringly accurate instead

#

It's more likely to kill on a crit with its higher base damage

#

And it has good base crit

#

Plus my crit node and my often guaranteed crit from weapon specialist

tall torrent
#

I wish the mk10 laspistol had better maniac dmg and better dmg over range

bitter turtle
#

🤔

#

sounds alright if you're using it as a revolver-lite

#

maybe ill stick that on and give it a whirl

midnight totem
#

It's basically a revolver yeah

#

But with uh

#

23 shots average?

tall torrent
#

I have a super cursed build for Laspistol rn

bitter turtle
#

do u not run dumdum then?

midnight totem
#

Per magazine

bitter turtle
#

since it sounds like u just swap to it and shoot once and swap back

midnight totem
#

I run dumdum and reassuring

bitter turtle
#

well

#

i guess there's not much else to run anyway

#

lol

midnight totem
#

That's true lol

bitter turtle
#

slim pickings among the blessings

midnight totem
#

I mean, I can swap, lay down quite a number of shots

#

Swap, melee. Swap back, lay down more shots

#

Revolver I'll have to reload somewhere there if I want to engage more then five targets

bitter turtle
#

i kinda enjoyed

#

wep specialist more than mf

#

at least on my last no ammo run with laspis

#

maybe ill try it

midnight totem
#

That's a large chunk of time not dealing damage

bitter turtle
#

in theory kant should benefit more

midnight totem
#

I put

#

Elite and maniac on my kantrael

#

I find it's flak damage is high enough

#

Elite helps with maniac ragers

bitter turtle
#

not high enough to kill a flak rager on a bodyshot 😔

#

im testing what things i can just bodyshot lul

midnight totem
#

I go for headshots

bitter turtle
#

god damn

midnight totem
#

Except on maulers

bitter turtle
#

cant headshot kill a dreg on a crit

#

gunner*

midnight totem
#

And it tears apart maulers with repeat body shots

#

If you also have reciprocity node for more crit

#

It can be very powerful

#

Because you also generate more toughness out of every crit kill

bitter turtle
#

man

midnight totem
#

Crit more, more toughness

bitter turtle
#

this thing could do 20% or so more dmg honestly

#

i think

#

and be fair

#

vs the mk2

#

i like the idea but its sad a lot of things it cant oneshot evenw ith the gauranteed crit

midnight totem
#

Yeah. It's not a revolver

bitter turtle
#

flamer, rager, dreg gunner, ironically it can kill shotgunner on flak body but not unarmored head

midnight totem
#

But two shots to kill most things honestly isn't bad

tall torrent
#

I run combat axe + laspistol

bitter turtle
#

that's actually what im running too

#

lel

#

mine a lot more boring though

tall torrent
#

I unironically think if left pathing wasn’t the best option

#

Right path for aura is the best route

#

Even taking smokes

bitter turtle
#

nah

#

well

#

i agree minus the smokes

#

i started running v3 with close and kill

#

and i honestly dont miss surv at all

tall torrent
#

I have had better time with smoke than krak

#

It’s good for repositioning vs mass shooters at range

bitter turtle
#

i accidentally brought smokes in a game once

#

honestly

#

it wasnt useless

#

hard to justify over shredder frags in the end either way though

tall torrent
#

Frag is best

bitter turtle
#

still funny to meme on smokes though

tall torrent
#

But I find smoke more useful than krak

bitter turtle
#

but i get what you mean by that tbh yeah

#

kraks kinda suck

#

even against armor packs, killing like 1 or 2 bulwark solves nothing

#

only thing it feels good at is monstro

tall torrent
#

And smoke has way stronger pathing nodes

#

10% melee + AE

bitter turtle
#

alright

#

im gonna wean myself off shredder

#

lets do this KEKW_ogryn

#

actually should probably take shocktroop without surv

tall torrent
#

I also take middle keystone for a bit of extra dmg

#

Gives me scab gunner 2HS with mk2 laspistol

#

I also don’t need desperado since 10% melee alone gives u the necessary breakpoints for combat axe

bitter turtle
#

i think i get it regardless

#

o wait

#

not at 18m~

#

man

#

i have to give up on overwatch if i want ogryn dmg

tall torrent
#

Smoke is funny and having more smoke = more funny

bitter turtle
#

points stretched in too many directions now

#

i regret everything

#

fucking infiltrate

terse idol
#

@junior haven oh god escape the helldivers discord I thought general was bad

#

Its like general with a 5 minute cooldown

#

But woorse

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

if i take close and kill im taking the chance to NOT play voc for once

#

i do it on every tree

#

with c&k

slow spade
#

yeah I find going VoC + Krak + Weapon Specialist works well

#

oh lol

bitter turtle
#

whatever

#

im rolling with it

#

just gonna live with shitty bp on rashad vs crusher

civic knot
# tall torrent And smoke has way stronger pathing nodes

I have one counter argument: If you dont already have a survivalist vet, you are actively being a detriment to your team by not running it. Wish it wasnt that way but unfortunately thats the state of ammo economy in this game...

tall torrent
frank basin
#

The survivalist is not stack other survivalist?

tall torrent
#

Identical auras don’t stack

frank basin
#

That’s boofed

tall torrent
#

U can have 2 Psykers running the same cooldown aura and you only get the benefit of 1 aura

frank basin
#

So 5%?damage not stack identical aura

#

That’s suck to hear.

#

Aura kinda sucky but I think the coding of fs is spaghetti as so.

tall torrent
#

If survivalist stacked you wouldn’t have ammo issues with plasma gun at all

#

4 dudes running survivalist (if it stacked) can literally make it go positive in ammo econ

frank basin
#

4% ammo regeneration

slow spade
#

technically you can run Survivalist + Scavenger (the starting vet aura)

#

but anyone willing to do that is insane and probably a heretic

slow spade
#

yeah

tall torrent
#

That’s hilarious

#

I should try it

slow spade
#

its a meme though rather than effective

tall torrent
#

Grab every single node before aura

frank basin
#

What is scavenger? That sound like old feats

tall torrent
slow spade
#

yeah it gives 0.75% ammo back instead of 1%

#

but it does apparently stack for the funny 1.75% ammo

frank basin
#

That’s quite limited

#

But meme correct

untold mulch
tiny summit
#

No buff stacking but weapon blessings still affecting things that aren't the weapon

frank basin
#

I didn’t know there is default aura.

slow spade
#

smh forgetting about the 2nd strongest aura in the game UwU

white minnow
#

lmao
that is a good way to describe scavenger

frank basin
#

Mediocre default aura

slow spade
#

"ammo regen" "mediocre"

#

ok

bitter turtle
#

god

#

infil really has like 100 ton weights on its leg

#

from pathing

#

its so good

#

also i think i used smoke grenades like 3 times in that whole match

hollow ibex
#

The cool down is hard to get used to

#

It’s like a minute with the double charge

bitter turtle
#

i use overwatch and +12% ability cd reduction

#

its up almost whenever i need it

hollow ibex
#

Too used to my voc crutch

hollow ibex
bitter turtle
#

the double charge

hollow ibex
#

Oh ok

bitter turtle
#

double charge + 12% cd reduction on curios lul

hollow ibex
#

Yeah that’s the one that raises cooldown to like a minute iirc

bitter turtle
#

carves off a good 7 seconds and its rarely wasted since you're usually sitting on one charge

civic knot
#

Is graia brautogun any good? ive heard its good since the latest patch that buffed it a bit

midnight totem
#

I hate it

hollow ibex
#

I’m not a fan either but maybe I just don’t get it

midnight totem
#

doesn't feel like it does enough damage to justify its fire rate and relative low accuracy

civic knot
#

how about colomnus 2?

slow spade
#

I like the agri brauto the most

civic knot
#

is colomnus 2 better than graia?

midnight totem
#

hard to say, I never rolled a good one to play with

hollow ibex
#

The only braced auto I use is agri

junior needle
#

But it feels less punchy

#

We're talking like 50~ dps

hollow ibex
#

The bloom feels so bad

junior needle
#

Graia has the unique property of the spread halting and then tightening during bracing

junior needle
#

But yeah the spread is pretty painful on all of them

tall torrent
#

Not “expand first then condense”

junior needle
#

Maybe have the columnus brauto have the tightest hipfire

tall torrent
#

Graia does feel really good in braced mode tho due to zero recoil

#

Why are they even called “braced autoguns” when the only one worth bracing is only for a firerate increase

junior needle
#

Because uh

#

Game design is immeasurably complex and uhhhh

# dusty nacelle wait r there performance mods?

Just trying to call attention to this mod. I feel like it can help many people, and likely make it playable in cases where it isn't. There isn't even a Steam Guide up yet for this mod. What it is: This will allow cards that aren't a 4080 or 4090 to use frame generation, which Nvidia graciously decided to lock to that generation of cards. If you ...

#

Gave me a consistent 100+ fps boost

dusty nacelle
#

do i get the 1st or 3rd one?

#

also what are the "weird UI issues" it gives you?

shrewd sable
#

damn, it requires rtx. I'm still gaming on a dinosaur 1080-ti sadge

dusty nacelle
#

I'm considering getting it but alot of replies are saying it makes your UI flicker alot

#

also wutever this means

#

if ur using it is it okay if u posted some gameplay?

tall torrent
junior needle
#

Yeah the subtitles and ui flicker a bit when you move, it's a consistent thing but doesn't make things unreadable for me.

#

You can uninstall it if you don't like it but I find 100+ fps outweighs the flickering by a huge margin

acoustic sapphire
#

This is the most badass group of randos I've ever played with. Several close calls, but we made it.
Infiltrator Veteran is so fun to play.

#

This did most of the work.

frank basin
#

Where’s the scoreboard to claim you did most work?

acoustic sapphire
#

I'm running vanilla, so my word's only as good as you think it is.

terse idol
#

Lacerate WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThanos

acoustic sapphire
#

That being said, having two uses of invisibility with a 25% speed boost helped me break out of near death multiple times, and got me to my downed team mates quickly.

terse idol
#

Its okay foe

#

Doe

frank basin
#

Bleed bad they said lol

bitter turtle
#

Lacerate deez nuts

frank basin
#

Lacerate milkie

bitter turtle
acoustic sapphire
#

This talent means I give 5 stacks of bleed, and if I hit a weak spot, instantly do an additional 60% damage. It's worked well for me at high levels.

#

I stand by it. Plus it's cool.

bitter turtle
#

Uncanny strikes is by far the best knife blessing so losing it is pretty bad

#

Also mercy killer only needs 1 stack to proc so you can just take serrated alone

frank basin
#

Bleed need bypass armor make like warframe did

bitter turtle
#

Hitting weak points is kinda the point of knife so it makes lacerate even more eh

acoustic sapphire
#

It might not be optimal, but I like it.
It's fun to land a heavy stab on a Crusher, and watch it bleed to death while it's winding up an overhead strike.
Makes me laugh.

bitter turtle
#

Use it if you like it thumbsup_ogryn

frank basin
#

The whatever float your boat

terse idol
#

Hence why you can skip Lacerate for the 1 talent

#

get a bettah blessing

acoustic sapphire
#

There is no better blessing. Lacerate is the greatest blessing in the game.

frank basin
#

Greatest…

bitter turtle
#

I'd say though

terse idol
#

it's terrible

bitter turtle
#

Even if u love bleed

#

Try flesh tearer instead

frank basin
#

Lmao lacerate and flesh tearer

bitter turtle
#

8 is bigger than 4

#

And you can actually hit weakpoints and use that finesse stat on the knife lul

frank basin
#

There’s crits chance on finesse stats?

bitter turtle
#

No

#

Crit dmg tho

#

And weakpoint dmg

terse idol
#

But wait

#

Mercy Killer will work wether or not you have 1 stack of bleed or 5

timid otter
#

Ye its pretty good with vet

terse idol
#

Yeah

#

So lacerate is less value

frank basin
#

Lacerate flesh tearer serrated blade

Hello, is there a good resource for someone new to Vet but progressed to Damnation on Ogryn?

junior needle
#

Nope

#

Vets have to dig through the muck, no hand holding guides here

#

Your only tip is that you should take VOC and survivalist

wild vortex
#

Very in character I suppose

junior needle
#

They are your best friends

timid otter
junior needle
#

As long as you take them, you will be considered at least somewhat useful to have in the team regardless of performance. Also take overshield and spam VOC for a constant stupidity buffer for your whole team

timid otter
#

Closest thing so far

timid otter
wild vortex
#

Just want to understand what makes the talents and their combinations tick, and the right ways to play the class

timid otter
#

Ah yes thats a question that cant be answered with a discord message.

wild vortex
#

I guess I will try to look up some popular builds and read through their talent trees, figure out what they do

wanton dawn
#

Finally a breakdown that just give info

wanton dawn
#

There is even an "implicit rules" not to ask about youtubers guide here expecting a positive answer ! whatthefuck_heresy

torpid mortar
#

In fact, I have NO level of uncanny strike

#

my luck is just the worst

timid otter
#

Ex most veteran builds will tend to invest most of their points at the bottom of the tree.

wanton dawn
#

Best talents close to the keystone ? Yah sure, it is a good point

#

Smoke being useless ? Indeed. Recon being crap ? There are some common agreement. But nitpicking is the name of the game

timid otter
#

Its likely to always be like that

wanton dawn
#

And not always polite disagreement staregryn

timid otter
#

Theres always some strange niche that isn’t being considered.

#

chainsword

wanton dawn
#

I once got baited on my redditor title. That i put down cuz someone insulted me like that here based on a blessing disagreement KEKW_ogryn

#

I still think shattering impact isnt good on plasma. Def not top 2 whatthefuck_heresy

timid otter
#

The community simply doesnt appreciate XYZ niche blessing on a niche weapon.

#

What can i say?

wanton dawn
#

There is niche and there is math

timid otter
#

You reminded me actually that i will need to calculate that

wanton dawn
#

You need to include teammate to make shattering worth on plosma

#

Well, "worth"

timid otter
#

Likely the target will just die within a few seconds after.

junior needle
#

Plasma adm's look like this, that's why shattering won't be useful on it

wanton dawn
#

So my advice is too ignore teammate on that one cuz otherwise everything can be handwaved

junior needle
#

Also a propensity to kill things in 1/2 shots and shattering not applying on the hit that applies it

#

And killing things on the second shot anyway, typically

faint beacon
#

Is it bad to say I never really enjoyed using the Plasma Gun?

You can tell people if their weapon is shit though

terse idol
#

I just

#

Don't like it no more

(recons)

faint beacon
#

that and I've kinda massively clicked onto Headhunter rifles they're just fun being able to click on heads and watching some heretics tumble over

wanton dawn
#

I only play plasma on no ammo mod these day

#

It is the perfect weapon for this mod

timid otter
#

I played it today because i was to lazy to switch from vet to any other class.

wanton dawn
#

Right now i enjoy agri brauto, columnus, bolter, bayonet

junior needle
#

Headhunters are regarded as pretty good (except the agri one, which no one seems to use ever)

wanton dawn
#

Most of which are exec stance

faint beacon
#

Something in me says to attempt making a bleed based build with like Flechette and Serrated Blade perk

junior needle
#

Flechette works with the kant special shells now

wanton dawn
#

It is really poor perf wise in practice

#

Which is sad

#

Flechette is fun though

wanton dawn
faint beacon
#

I heard the Agri is... Useable its just kinda outshone by Vraks III and VII

#

Also thats depressing to hear

timid otter
faint beacon
#

I mean the only way I'd think it'd be useable is with like Mercy Killer

#

3 Round burst and Semi Auto are just kinda slightly better than the 2 round from what I've seen but I don't doubt it has its upsides

#

My knife from when i was a level 2 veteran

faint beacon
#

Yeah its not the BEST but its really hilarious seeing a shit-ton of procs go crazy on one very unlucky special

timid otter
#

It benefits alot from serrated blades.

wanton dawn
#

Mercy killing i think ?

faint beacon
#

Yeah I'd figure that's the only way to make Serrated work, run crit with like Flesh tearer and Mercy Killer, that or just Uncanny cause its overtuned beyond hell and back atm on Knives

junior needle
#

Vet isn't as good for a flesh tearer setup

wanton dawn
#

Also fun interaction with thunderous
