Bleed Maulers

#

Carapace enemies take very little bleed dmg

#

Unless u have rending

somber axle
#

Bleed Monstrosities

tall torrent
#

Which knife has KEKW_ogryn

somber axle
#

I am running Recon VId with as much rending as I can physically get from the Vet tree so it works out in a really dumb way LOL

tall torrent
#

Onslaught is not rending

somber axle
#

Yeah but there's the 10% rending middle node and the 10% rending Marksman's Focus node for max stacks

#

I am a clown

#

And I am loving my Exe Stance Recon VId

tall torrent
#

Marksman focus with knife seems like a very counterproductive thing

somber axle
#

You're right but I like playing my goofy Exe Stance Recon VId with my Chainsword

#

I don't use knife on any of my classes at the moment

#

Dueling Sword IV Psyker, Chainsword XIII Vet (sometimes swap to shovel), Shield Ogryn, Evis XV Zealot

#

The mobility is funny and knife is fun for stabbing through crushers/maulers but I like other weapons way more right now

tall torrent
#

Yea without O4B, u can’t get toughness from bleed kills

#

So toughness gain is a lot worse than most melee weapons

somber axle
#

I know they're not meta or optimal builds but I don't chase meta most times, I just goof around and make whatever seems fun

#

Only time I look at meta is when I am checking what blessings/perks would be good to combo with a weapon I haven't tried yet

#

To get a feel for what they're good at

#

Evis XV with Perfect Strike/Shred is a meme build and Rampage is probably way more effective but I have too much fun with PS granting my ability charge every few swings with the crit proccing CD reduction

#

Zealot screaming constantly making the Ogryn right to call her Shouty

tame lodge
#

BLOODTHIRSTY evis15

somber axle
#

Ooo

#

I should try making a new Evis XV with PS and Bloodthirsty instead of Shred

tame lodge
#

The thing is that the play style does not benefit from PS

#

In fact, it encourages you to hit those beefy boys

#

With the revved heavy for maximum overdrive

somber axle
#

I do love one tapping Crushers with the Evis XV

#

I will try it if I can roll a new Evis XV with it

tame lodge
#

Good luck, karking T4 blessing

#

Just tried vet bolter with a random build I realized I had bookmarked and a grey bolter with decent rolls

#

Wow is it good

fresh saddle
#

worth getting from milk?

#

i already have this for the PSword Mk 3

tall torrent
#

Not as good as urs

fresh saddle
#

i wanted to double-check to see if i could fix the one in the milk shop

tall torrent
#

Slaughterer is inferior to sunder rn

#

And PC3 is obv not as good as PC4

#

Ur perks are better too

fresh saddle
#

mmk thanks much

#

Perk is not perfect but I am taking it

After 12m rolling

hows infernus on the helbores?

tall torrent
somber axle
#

Even on the Mk II it's eh

tribal tangle
#

weight of fire? i dont have onslaught at the moment

somber axle
#

Definitely not worth on the Mk III

tribal tangle
#

this is for 1 should have specified

radiant chasm
#

But yea you want stuff like onslaught, surgical or no respite

austere mica
#

In a lobby with 3 vets, all Loose Cannons with power swords

tribal tangle
#

got surgical no respite for it

austere mica
#

(I am one)

low apex
somber axle
#

Ok but Loose Cannon is the funniest Vet personality

#

Cadian is always sad and the other one is always angry

#

Loose Cannon is always sarcastic and takes nothing seriously

#

Having a great time

low apex
#

Lady Loose Cannon >>> most class' personalities imo

somber axle
#

Very true

low apex
#

I like Bully Ogryn, guy Agitator Zealot and French woman Psyker quite a bit

#

Guy agitator just sounds so pathetic you kinda gotta love him

somber axle
#

Judge Psyker is very good and I love the French accent but her lines are very standard

#

She doesn't have a lot of fun dialogue

#

Carried very hard by how good the accent is on the character

low apex
#

Hard agree on that one yeah, it's a fantastic voice but i do wish they had more fun lines

austere mica
#

They aren't an asshole most of the time

whats wrong with my knife

tall torrent
tribal tangle
#

alright so weight of fire vs no respite? i have both of those

tall torrent
#

WoF + surgical is the best build for Helbore generally

#

No Respite is funny for bayonet but bayonet is not nearly as good as it used to be

somber axle
#

There's an argument for WoF + No Respite for Mk II

#

Or Surgical + No Respite

#

Fires very fast so maybe doesn't benefit very much from WoF but also since it is charging so fast Surgical generally isn't getting as much value as a Mk III or Mk I

#

(Idk if No Respite helps with any major breakpoints tho)

tall torrent
junior needle
#

The target actually has to be staggered for no respite to do anything

fresh saddle
junior needle
#

And the bonus stops if it unstaggers

tall torrent
#

It’s for bayonet stagger-locking ragers mostly
Which it doesn’t change breakpoints for

junior needle
tall torrent
#

The most efficient way to kill ragers is still charge shot hipfire headshot at point blank range and instantly stab after it hits

#

Outside of just bayonet stab spam (which is 3 hits for both if u build right iirc)

#

If u have extra melee talents u can bring Dreg rager to a 2 hit

#

But you can’t change scab rager breakpoint normally

somber axle
#

Mk I and Mk II bayonet is so amazing

#

Love it

#

Mk III bayonet is awful tho

fresh saddle
#

Mk 3 gets some extra strength in its shots, but i haven't found any situations where it changes my breakpoints

tall torrent
#

Dreg rager 1HS with +maniac

#

Reaper 1 crit HS

#

And it has higher carapace modifier than other 2 variants

fresh saddle
#

i'll need to play around with it more that sounds good actually

#

I wanted to upgrade a bricked gun with 380 base stats and the very first grey I bought off Brunt was also 380 base stats. Emperor be praised

somber axle
#

What's the highest you could get crit realistically with the Mk III

wanton dawn
#

With surgical, deadshot, etc... ?

somber axle
#

There's that node for 10% crit for the first 10% of your shots after a reload, Deadshot for 25% as long as you have Stam, the 5% crit node

last parcel
somber axle
#

Then add in Surgical and you could pretty much almost guarantee a crit when you want it, yeah?

wanton dawn
#

When i check crit build they get 35% average on a full length game

somber axle
#

Hmm

wanton dawn
#

Its pretty good

somber axle
#

Wait

#

Surgical can be a guaranteed crit can't it?

#

+10% crit chance every 0.3 sec ads up to 10 stacks

#

So the reliability just means you'd have to time it properly and watch the stacks to ensure it pushes your crit to 100% when you need to Exe Stance Crusher head tap, right?

wanton dawn
#

Yeah, kinda

last parcel
#

just don't get jumped while doing that

somber axle
#

Probably unrealistic for a real match where things get hectic and waiting for the stacks isn't always possible

#

But technically possible to always get the one tap headshot Crusher kill every time

wanton dawn
#

I mean, i have a os setup on ps6 against crusher that does not need crit. But waiting 8 stacks of tag is not reliable either KEKW_ogryn

i frequently lose that fight

#

oh that's not enough for me

#

it still hungers

somber axle
#

When I feel like playing with patience I tend to swap to my Kantrael XII for lining up heads

#

So satisfying wiping out a room of gunners and shotgunners just tapping heads one after the other

#

Not as good as the Kantrael Mg1a

#

But I love the feel of the XII

#

Probably nostalgic for the launch days when it was OP

wanton dawn
#

When i feel patient i bring boltah

somber axle
#

Bolter is also good but my monkey brain yells at me to magdump into every crusher, mauler and bulwark I see

wanton dawn
#

I line up head except its the body but it doesnt matter cuz the target still dies whatthefuck_heresy

somber axle
#

Muties too

last parcel
#

poxwalkers too

wanton dawn
#

Magdumping can be a good choice. Its rare though

#

Still better than bracing an agri

#

Which is not terrible but just a waste of time KEKW_ogryn

somber axle
#

Magdumping bolter into the back of a Burgle

#

Delicious

wanton dawn
#

I prefer to stab it if i can

somber axle
#

I know some people swear by the braced autoguns but wow I hate how they feel vs any other gun

tame lodge
#

Skewed slug

wanton dawn
#

cleaving autogun is no joke

somber axle
#

I know they can be very effective in the right hands and with practice and the right build they would be strong for me too. I just don't like how the gun feels

#

The agri braced cleave is funny though

wanton dawn
#

I understand. I dont like lasgun at all

somber axle
#

Yeah exactly

#

Personal taste thing

austere pine
#

huhhh??? melk?

#

do i get this?

wanton dawn
#

Eehhh

#

Not great sadly

#

Busted perk and blessing

austere pine
#

b-but 380

wanton dawn
#

Sustained fire might be alright. The rest is...

somber axle
#

Could swap Falter for Weight of Fire then change out one of the perks for Flak maybe but it's a rough one

#

Very pretty 380 with awkward perks and blessings

#

Afaik Mk I is the easiest to build for though

tame lodge
#

You can get it now and wait for the crafting update, but you know, high hopes are not for everyone

somber axle
#

Mk II has more strict things it needs for certain breakpoints

#

Afaik Mk II wants unarmoured?? Weird gun

#

But so beautiful with the perfect roll

#

One of my favs

austere pine
#

does vet get any crit bonuses?

#

because i have this here and i have 0 clue what to swap for what

wanton dawn
#

Supercharge to bm or sunder

#

Ps prioritize blessing over perks

prisma dawn
#

Anyone willing to take my veteran along on their runs?

austere pine
#

this is a moment in history

wanton dawn
#

Ahahah, you are POOR

austere pine
#

i can sell this guy prolly

tame lodge
#

Starch and water

austere pine
#

and this?

wanton dawn
#

Idk i dont use either

tame lodge
#

The mk3 shovel is a weird one

austere pine
#

it's been some time since i've used a chainsword and that was the 13g

#

gone, reduced to dockets

somber axle
# austere pine and this?

Devastating Strike is bad as far as I've read from others here. Shred probably helps it along but tbh even changing both blessings leaves it with bad finesse

#

Probably for the best it was scrapped for dockets

austere pine
#

scrapped shovel

austere pine
#

if not for ciag, which infantry ag would be the pick?

rigid pilot
#

agripinna but lower mag count means you gotta aim more

grand perch
#

agrippina for sure, graia just feels...off to me

wispy hinge
#

are recon lasguns still dogwater peepee doodoo

grand perch
#

yes

wispy hinge
#

damn

agile forge
#

Just take a CIAG and mod it so it looks like it's shooting lasers

supple stag
faint violet
#

There can be something done with any of those two?

grand perch
#

you can dismantle them for blessings for the better revolver /s

wanton dawn
#

Right perk seems alright but am no revolver expert

#

All blessings sucks

#

Dunno about unyield on rev

supple stag
#

Those blessings are kind of meh

faint violet
#

I have some t4 blessings.

#

More ask if it will be usable until something better didnt show up.

supple stag
#

I like Handcannon and Surgical, but I use Zarona not Agri

agile forge
#

I think Agri wants Crucian Roulette

#

Since Surgical is less functional for it

frank ether
#

agri is very much a spam gun so yea

#

ideally I'd want to run trickshoot with crucian but if you're not very confident in gambling for headshots and don't care for boss dps

#

then you might aswell go for another blessing

#

like handcannon or throw another crit blessing in there

faint violet
#

Thanks, gona cheak how it work out.

somber axle
#

still ok but not OP

#

but also very funny with Shock Trooper, Dead Shot and three stam curios for +9 stam (this is pure glass cannon and it's maximum silly)

woeful ibex
#

for me Mark 7A recon lasgun is good

#

damage and penetration vs horde is good/decent

#

rate of fire would be slow

wispy hinge
#

im just waiting for the finesse buff

#

never ever btw

somber axle
#

get ready for more nerfs

#

it'll be funnier that way

agile forge
#

I think Recon is supposed to be workable with Onslaught

#

But Onslaught and Shock Troop means you don't get to invest much in the middle tree

bitter turtle
#

ngl

#

even if you fan a lot

#

much better value from sustained fire

#

or shit, even run n' gun

#

since it has hidden close dmg buff

#

i still run surgical because i use it like a zarona and dont fan very much, but if you want to fan

#

i strongly suggest sustained fire

#

last time i tested it saves you a bullet on targets like maulers

agile forge
#

I haven't ever used the agri revolver anyway lol

bitter turtle
#

if you want a perspective

#

of how meh crucian is

#

its not even better than surgical until 3rd bullet in the worst case scenario for surgical with only 1 stack

#

assuming 51% crit base (deadshot, maxed crit bonus stat)

#

surg would give you 61% 51% 51% 51% 51%
crucian is 51% 56% 61% 66% 71%

#

barely even a bonus until you fan your 4th really

#

and how many enemies even take the 4th bullet fan to shoot down

#

sustained is a straight up 20% dmg boost for the 2nd to 4th shot even if you do need that many boolet

#

much better

#

or just run surg like me :^)

DRIPTIDE - Veteran - Kasrkin - Recon Lasgun OVERPOWERED rending. Veteran build by krizit for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

bitter turtle
#

Overpowered huh

#

Guess fs need to nerf recon again

somber axle
#

look at the buffs

#

crucian

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

im sure your trickshooter agri is so useful outside psyk

#

:^)

somber axle
#

you can build agripina to be a really funny McCree High Noon fan the hammer gun

#

that's not even mine LMFAO

bitter turtle
#

realistically

#

agri is only good for le monstro 1 clip meme vids in psykarium

somber axle
#

people talk down on agripina with crucian but it's a beautiful baby in the right hands like any gun and favours a very bursty playstyle that lets you blow through bosses, crushers, maulers, bulwarks, etc. faster than zarona

bitter turtle
#

wdym people talk down on it

somber axle
#

zarona is better for carefully setting up shots and playing backline

bitter turtle
#

im actually going against the grain

somber axle
bitter turtle
#

when i say dont run crucian

somber axle
#

are you not people

bitter turtle
#

im one person

#

most ppl usually say crucian

somber axle
bitter turtle
#

i didnt know i was the arbiter of darktide opinions

#

when was i awarded this honor

somber axle
#

you can do surgical or crucian on it but if you wanna do funny fan the hammer bursty empty the gun for fun memes crucian is better

bitter turtle
#

if you want to do funny fan the hammer burst

#

you should just run sustained

somber axle
#

you're not seriously arguing for using sustained fire as a blessing are you

#

does it help with like

bitter turtle
#

explain how 20% damage on over half your shots is worse than an extremely minor crit boost until you've expended your 3rd bullet

somber axle
#

breakpoints

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

it does

somber axle
#

which ones

bitter turtle
#

mauler takes 1 less boolet

#

as one example

somber axle
#

wouldn't crits also perform the same effect

bitter turtle
#

you already have 51% crit base on a revolver

#

if it atkes 3 bullets

#

are you really telling me

#

a 5% extra crit chance on your 2nd bullet

#

and 10% on the third

somber axle
#

I don't run revolvers much tbh but it seems more fun to double down on what makes the gun funny vs trying to turn it into a zarona

bitter turtle
#

is better than a straight up 20% damage boost on 2nd and 3rd

somber axle
#

because if you try to play an agripina revolver like a zarona

bitter turtle
#

yes yes

#

ive heard that before

somber axle
#

you'll just wonder why you didn't use a zarona instead

bitter turtle
#

about surgical

#

personally

#

i just dont like using zarona

#

its overpowered

#

so i run surg agri and play it similarly

#

that's not the point anyway

somber axle
#

that's a fair take

bitter turtle
#

im saying

#

iof you want to fan

somber axle
#

zarona is very strong

bitter turtle
#

use sustained

#

or run n gun

#

if what ppl say is true

#

i have not tested the part where it has hidden close dmg bonus

#

so idk if its true or not

somber axle
#

do you use sustained with hand cannon

bitter turtle
#

crucian is just so fucking low value

#

yes

#

you can just finne

#

again

#

revolvers have 51% base crit with deadshot

#

crucian would not even be reliable

#

if this was not the case

#

ur really telling me you would rely on crit as low as 10% per shot to proc handcannon?

#

if it didnt have crit bonus stat line and deadshot

#

lol

somber axle
#

idk 6% crit per spent round adds up to offset that one node that gives 10% crit chance for 10% of shots post reload

#

which is really just the first shot anyway

bitter turtle
#

nobody seriously takes that shitty talent

#

if you mean opening salvo

#

its garbage

#

except on like

#

meme shotgun shit

#

like fire only kant

somber axle
#

I take it on helbores and my recon VId because I think it's funny

bitter turtle
#

its

somber axle
#

shotguns are funny with it too though

bitter turtle
#

mediocre-ish on helbore

#

believe it or not

#

ive argued in favor for it on helbores compared to some ppl who say its not even worth it on hb

#

lol

#

its shit on 6d

somber axle
#

helbore already can run ammo positive with crits and shock trooper on no ammo maelstrom

bitter turtle
#

i would not bother

#

the gun needs talents on other nodes

#

if you really want more crit

#

base 5% crit on all your shots (and your melee) is way better

#

that minor node right before grenadier

#

lol

#

in any case

somber axle
#

with the VId I grab anything that can give her even the tiniest boost to make her shine because while the 10% crit chance for 10% of your shots sounds dumb think of it as 10-11 shots depending on ammo stat since it can go beyond 100 shots per clip

#

then with shock trooper and deadshot

bitter turtle
#

there is a thing

#

called opportunity cost

somber axle
#

you spend no ammo and keep the crits rolling

#

it makes it very funny

#

I take the 5% crit node too

bitter turtle
#

wasting a point grabbing that garbage is a point you could have taken to actually boost the recon dmg more meaningfully

somber axle
#

take it all

bitter turtle
#

are you skipping on a keystone

#

then

#

cause that adds way more dmg than opening salvo lol

somber axle
#

I need to log on to see my silly recon VId build one sec

bitter turtle
#

and im not sure how u can magically grab onslaught, rending strikes, elite dmg, and also a keystone, and also get opening salvo and 5% base crit

#

and not run out of points somewhere on the way there

somber axle
#

I will share my meme recon build in a moment no worries

#

I was running it with infiltrate a while ago but swapped to exe stance just because it makes it slightly funnier for deleting crushers

#

plus the mini-game of killing shooters/specials to keep exe stance rolling is fun

bitter turtle
#

even if you're going exec

#

kill zone is way better than opening salvo

#

well, i dont want to make it sound like im saying u must run this or you're trash or whatever

somber axle
#

ok yeah I skipped keystone LOL

bitter turtle
#

runw hat you like

#

im just saying

#

picking up shit like opening salvo is just hurting the gun even more

somber axle
#

lemme share the funny build after I input it into the games lantern build editor

bitter turtle
#

even though recon finesse is meh

#

headhunter lets you crit enough that MF gives a fairly significant dmg boost

#

since finesse dmg on it also boosts crit dmg

#

ive tested and its roughly as strong as max stacks focus target as long as you can keep the stacks high in terms of pure dps at least

somber axle
#

I made this just for you

#

behold my clownery

somber axle
#

and in this build I want exe stance so the extra crit helps push my crit chance stacking for more shock trooper free shots

#

shoot forever

#

people who chase optimal/meta will run plasma/power sword but I run whatever I think is fun and this is my fav funny build when I feel spicy on Vet

#

I like being in the frontline purposely dodging a poxwalker or two, or dodging incoming fire from shooters to proc duck and dive stam

#

keep feeding the dead shot crit spam

#

my baby hungers and she will be fed crits

winged warren
#

you guys think the newest vet cosmetic worth?

#

looks nice but also looks mediocre even if i pick up the side helmet / headscarf

somber axle
#

the robot leg DOES look really cool imo

lyric dock
somber axle
#

but the set overall is eh especially with the original head piece

lyric dock
#

If not

#

Wait until next rotation

winged warren
somber axle
#

yeah one sec

bitter turtle
#

btw

winged warren
bitter turtle
#

i dont know if you weren't aware

somber axle
#

I'm still in game for a few more minutes

bitter turtle
#

i just realized lookiung at the tooltip

#

if u were looking down on sustained fire

#

i hope you realize the tooltip for it is wrong

winged warren
somber axle
#

the robot leg is my fav part about it tbh

#

and I think you may have made me convince myself into buying this + the other helmet

winged warren
somber axle
#

I know there's a past cosmetic with a robot leg but who knows when it will enter rotation

winged warren
#

cause i remember the shirt is like cloth

somber axle
#

that's the new set

#

unless you mean the one from last rotation

winged warren
#

so second newest set is the cloth one?

#

ya i was asking about that, so sorry

somber axle
#

this one has no robot leg

#

but I did buy it

winged warren
#

ya i was asking about htis, i thought this was the newest one

somber axle
#

I'd say it's worth it

#

the chest piece and pants look good imo

winged warren
#

is this considered one of the "better" ones?

somber axle
#

the mask is eh but there are other helmets to match

#

the only complaint I've seen by others is that it lacks gloves

#

idk how people rank the sets as far as popularity

#

I know Steel Legion and Krieg sets are very loved

#

the Cadian set is very loved

#

I personally love the Catachan set

winged warren
#

i regret getting the krieg sets ngl

#

hard to mix and match, looks generic

#

i got krieg for my ogryn

somber axle
#

Catachan my beloved

somber axle
#

the cloth one you mentioned has lots of jingly bits that move around

#

one more screenie of Catachan because I love it with the Vermintide tattoo

winged warren
somber axle
#

it's very similar to the robot leg set currently in rotation

#

the cloth set on the second page of Vet cosmetic rotation has the same pants but different colouring and the boots are more armoured

#

Catachan boots have cloth around the ankles

winged warren
#

i see, i understand its thematic and lore friendly.
I feel vet has alot of cosmetic just make him look like generic soldier

somber axle
#

if you wanna see generic soldier

winged warren
#

this my psyker, i don't have actual photo though
The pants are black on purpose so i don't look like a cosplayer

somber axle
#

I have exactly the set to show you

winged warren
somber axle
winged warren
#

i think this oe looks better

#

he looks like a tanker

somber axle
sage root
#

Damn I need those trousers

winged warren
somber axle
#

sometimes I swap the hat for the goggles to look like a pilot

winged warren
#

yeah this ne look cool too

somber axle
#

there's also the really funny Atoman Noble one

#

red and gold

#

Fallout T51b power armour looking chest

#

end up looking more like a Zealot

#

it also has a very neat cape that flows when you run

frank ether
#

I like the model, not a huge fan of the colour scheme though

#

I guess its neat if you wanna look like a zealot

somber axle
#

that's fair

#

they'll probably release it again as a recolour one day

winged warren
# somber axle

i think theres one way worse that is alot of gold and looks super corny (not sure if its vet or zeal)

I think the only red gold done well is psyker's

somber axle
#

oh yeah I love it

#

feels like a clown costume LMFAO

#

skulking in the shadows trying to hide from nurgle worshippers in bright red and shining gold

winged warren
#

i feel look like cosplayer that tried too hard

lyric dock
#

Times you wish you can customize the colors on some of the cosmetics

somber axle
#

I have it on my Vet but I don't personally use it since I like swapping between the various lore regiment appearances

#

Steel Legion is a fav

#

the pouches, the inquisition accessory on the belt, the knife on the back of the waist and the canteen all wiggle

#

the cloth hanging off the hip sways a bit too

#

personally not a fan of the mask

#

but the chest piece is definitely worth grabbing

#

I think the shoulderpads are really cool

frank ether
#

there are so many things I would like to buy

#

and chances are I will never catch any of them

somber axle
#

I hope they change the shop to put up all the sets they've ever released and let people buy what they want instead of waiting bi-weekly to see if there's a good set in rotation

#

a shop more like Vermintide's would be nice

#

I would buy way more cosmetics if it wasn't just limited to whatever the newest recolour is

frank ether
#

or maybe ppl really buy stuff regularly each month, Idk

somber axle
#

I buy something if I think it will mix and match well with other sets

#

There are a LOT of repeat items though

#

#

any advice on improving that build further?

that helbore works surprisingly well on crushers (even 2-headshotting them with focus and stance)

I struggle a bit with long ready time of helbore after swap though

astral ingot
#

take shredders instead of krak and use the point saved to grab longshot

brisk oxide
#

been running power sword with slaughterer over brutal momentum and it's pretty sick actually

#

lets me one shot dreg gunners and two shot maulers

#

fighting ragers becomes very doable in melee

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

fully buffed i would bet you can on a crit yeah

severe gale
#

like without slaughterer stacks or brutal momentum

brisk oxide
#

oh with that i'm not sure

severe gale
#

i’ll have to check

#

i run slaughterer on my psword

brisk oxide
#

i would say no, unless you crit

#

then maybe

hollow ibex
#

giving up a lot of horde clear for that

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

you are but it still clears hordes pretty well, you just kill like 3 poxwalkers per swing instead of like 6

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

but poxers are not that scary anyway

hollow ibex
#

no, it's bruisers that you need brumentum for

severe gale
#

brtual momentum beats it out yes but not by a significant amount

brisk oxide
#

what's a bruiser?

#

oh shield guys?

hollow ibex
#

the hordes that have armor and clubs

brisk oxide
#

oh i like slaughterer for them too

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

you dont need to make head hits

hollow ibex
brisk oxide
#

slaughterer lets you kill them with body shots

hollow ibex
#

which is why it's a s tier blessing on basically any weapon that hs it

brisk oxide
#

so you can just be flinging your swing all over the place

#

and still get kills

hollow ibex
#

but whatever works, it's still a PS

severe gale
severe gale
#

ps is pretty brain dead

brisk oxide
#

it's less brain dead than most melee weapons though

severe gale
#

not really

hollow ibex
severe gale
#

it’s just

#

push, dodge back, special combo, repeat

brisk oxide
#

right, but most melee weapons are light attack over and over

severe gale
#

yah but most don’t wipe entire hordes in like 4 swings

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

right, so they're just worse, not more sophisticated or something

#

PS you actually have you have a bit more finesse since you can lose your charge by getting hit

#

and you dont have insane mobility like knife that can make up for bad positioning

severe gale
#

i guess

brisk oxide
#

i do agree you lose a lot of horde clear without momentum but in the games i played with it it felt like a decent trade in order to be doing so much more damage to elites

hollow ibex
brisk oxide
#

it kind of isn't a big deal, since in practice you're already killing them about as fast as they can spawn

hollow ibex
#

maybe on heresy

brisk oxide
#

like if you stand at a spawn door that a horde is coming out of, you'll not fall behind

hollow ibex
#

on higher difficulties, you absolutely can and will be surrounded by hordes at all times

brisk oxide
#

sure, but you still have one of the best horde clear weapons even without BM

hollow ibex
#

your weapon, your call

severe gale
#

i’m saying that slaughterer helps make up for what you lose with brutal momentum

brisk oxide
#

yeah they're both good options imo

severe gale
#

brutal momentum is good yes

severe gale
#

but slaughter is also good

brisk oxide
#

BM is probably a little bit better overall, but you can't fight elites as effectively with it

#

you're not gonna clear a horder of dreg gunners with it

hollow ibex
#

it's not just a "bit" better, but i'm not arguing this point anymore

brisk oxide
#

as quickly

hollow ibex
#

there's good reason why sunder and brumentum are considered the S tier blessing options (next to PC4)

#

slaughterer is hardly the end of the world, but it's also not at the same level as those two, esp since sunder exists

#

but like i said, your weapon, your call.

brisk oxide
#

right, everyone is aware BM is the best blessing

#

i'm simply saying slaughterer opens up some interesting gameplay options that you can't get with BM without as much loss as you'd think

severe gale
brisk oxide
#

oh yeah and you can kill a crusher with one charge using slaughterer even with no crits

severe gale
#

i think

#

i don’t actually remember now

brisk oxide
#

don't you have to charge again after a push attack?

#

feels slower

hollow ibex
#

sunder is increased cleave on energized hit

hollow ibex
#

that's one of the major reasons people take ps6 over ps3

#

could also just light attack spam to the face, but it's less efficient obviously, even if mechnically easier

brisk oxide
#

i feel like three lights is faster than push attack followed by charging and then another push attack

hollow ibex
#

you can push attack > L3

#

without charging last time i checked

brisk oxide
#

it keeps the charge after a push attack?

#

i would have sworn it didnt

hollow ibex
#

or was it L4 idr

#

nah it def keeps the charge

#

without charge, there's no way people would give a shit about that combo

brisk oxide
#

huh, i must be losing it then. i was sure it shuts off after the first push attack

severe gale
#

just push attack then light

brisk oxide
#

good to know

severe gale
#

yah it’s really good

#

it’s what makes the p6 so much better

#

along with the flat lights

brisk oxide
#

PS6 push is nasty yeah

#

i feel like its aim is a little wonky though

#

like it doesnt quite hit where you'd think

severe gale
#

the push attack?

brisk oxide
#

yeah

severe gale
#

yeah with thrust attacks u always wanna aim higher

brisk oxide
#

yeah that's what i mean

severe gale
#

it’s just weird hitbox priority stuff

brisk oxide
#

it goes lower than the cursor

vernal harbor
#

gonna make a mod that plays fart reverb for every hit that isn’t a headshot

lean bloom
#

What would you change here

brisk oxide
#

power cycler to 4, specialists to whatever gets you interesting breakpoints in psykhanium

lean bloom
#

whats better Maniac or Flak armoured?

brisk oxide
#

flak imo

#

for PS there's only really 2 maniacs that matter

#

hmm actually maybe 3, tox flamer has 1400 hp i think

lean bloom
#

Not a 🧱 i think

brisk oxide
#

i'm not crazy about specialists for PS since there's only 3 that you dont kill in one hit i think

#

yeah vs 4 for maniac, which are also basically the exact same list of enemies except that maniac also includes the rager

random tulip
regal smelt
# lean bloom Not a 🧱 i think

stacking damage talents on any power cycler 4 power sword is going to do the trick, just gotta rely on stacking those buffs a bit more

Charged shots are dps and ammo efficiency loss KEKW_ogryn

tame lodge
#

I wonder how many vets know or play with that in mind

junior needle
#

Considering how many players on the subreddit choose to have crit/weakspot damage on their weapons

#

Probably not that many

#

Those are probably more invested than usual too

tame lodge
#

Could see the logic if you pair with the extra 30%
But then if you have the 30% you won't really need another 10%

ripe totem
#

on that note I've only seen two instances where charged shot works though

#

can be used to stagger a charging mutie (even though a headshot will do this, the hitbox feels smaller? on plasma while a charged will guarantee it)

#

and maulers if you absolutely need one to die if they start running up to you with ragers and you have no kraks

#

but generally vet shouldn't have too many problems with plasma ammo efficiency anyway as charged is more or less shit + plasma has a good refire rate and the single target dps as you said is better
