how many cats exist in Vet chat

if we have enough cat Vets can we petition to have this renamed to cat-class

just add friendly fire so criting your team still saves you ammo

somber axle
#

Helbores can kinda do it too but only if it's one Ogryn

#

if there are two they double up on eating your shots

crude fiber
#

till the angry ogryn turns around and pelts you with a rock

somber axle
#

it is a funny gun and tbh with the new ammo econ I might revisit it

#

it was just too strong and easy to play with before but the ammo efficiency taking such a massive hit from surv nerf might make it more fun to play with for me

slate hawk
#

It's slightly rough if you have teammates take a large ammo when you need a large now

somber axle

I've had Vets sprinting over to me when I ping a large ammo bag

You really don't start hurting until 50

I do notice when I am using anything below 70

It's a boring weapon regardless

Actually 51. You lose a dodge at 50.

Damn, I forgot I had a 2 TB HDD that I never initialized staregryn
I always knew it was there but I stopped thinking about it after a while and I just recalled it

Whats next, forgetting the alamo?

#

Mk6 is less boring than Mk3 actually. But knife is not that much interesting tbh.

Trust me there aint a thing you could ever say that would match or hurt me more than what I told myself

I didn't say that

Nope

Knife is the best weapon in the game hands down. It's fun stat is maxed

Not very interesting =! Sux

I'm doing a Crit. Build, using Marksmans focus, and i have the keystone upgrade for toughness replenishment, and also exhilarating takedown and iron will. Also i got shock trooper to go along with a bit of ammo conservation

finite imp
#

They just spend their lives hitting the activate mk6 powersword

radiant chasm
#

which gives people the wrong impression, usually they get it wrong at the item building stage too

I’m trying to get a knife together for my vet

radiant chasm

it has a lot of traps

But I also want a lawb, bolter, and devils claw

finite imp
#

STAB

thorn lark
#

That may be their definition of fun. Or they just don't want to melee that much. Either way, Mk3 is boring. Mk6 has fun combo

thorn lark
#

Push attack / heavies are not really peak gaming

split sapphire
#

Mk.6 is superior

austere mica
#

I don’t like the combos on the mk6, might just have to try it more though

time to take you back to vt2 grandpa

It is very disable brain gameplay, which is why I run it with plasma if I want to insta win damnation and farm plasteel with my brain somewhere else

Interesting

finite imp

It's not

finite imp
#

Ok

thorn lark
#

It's a judgement

finite imp
#

How do I run into so many pedantic nerds? It's probably me. It's my fault

#

It's the communities I choose to be a part of

radiant chasm
#

schrodinger's douchebag, they are trolling or not based on the reaction of the audience

thorn lark

You did start by just throwing your opinion

finite imp

I have not once even tried to claim I was trolling.

#

So idk where that's coming from

Monster hunter?

thorn lark
#

Sorry mate I am too old to have played Monster Hunter

finite imp
#

Those potions look like they taste like shit

finite imp
#

Do you mean too young?

#

Because they're still making monster hunter games

#

I'm fucking 31 and I played monster hunter

thorn lark
#

I am 42. It's like Pokemon. I was too old when it started becoming popular in the west. And already a PC user at that point

finite imp
#

Yeezus and yall were calling ME grandpa

#

You should give it a shot. World and Rise are both very accessible

#

They're so accessible in fact that alot of the community gatekeep the classics

Until red weapons drop

thorn lark
#

I don't think they will introduce reds

radiant chasm
#

i don't want them to introduce reds

thorn lark
#

They can't even correctly balance the game rn

radiant chasm
#

i think vt2 crafting is the wrong direction

#

DT needs to go from the bottom up to something new and exciting not swift slaying simulator

thorn lark

I am pretty sure the game is balanced rn around malice difficulty

#

just use the mk4 inflas, and download the full auto mod

#

it will fire it continuously as if you were clicking mouse repeatedly

#

you have a recon better than an actual recon

hollow ibex
somber axle
#

The Emperor keeps me busy because it's time again

#

everything I shoot dies very quickly short of muties and monstrosities but muties are easy to kill with melee and I tend to opt for knife or chainsword which do solid monstrosity damage too

#

I do this entirely because I'm a clown who loves laser vomit and loves killing Crushers

#

do this build at your own risk because you will suffer unless you are a masochist in which case you will enjoy the suffering like me

#

it has surprisingly good ammo economy with Deadshot, Opening Salvo and Headhunter IV to keep crits rolling as long as you can aim heads consistently and maintain stam regen through Focus Target + Target Down while using Duck and Dive to purposely weave into the frontline and dodge incoming fire

#

3 stam curios means your skin is paper and your bones are glass

#

no VoC or Infiltrate means you have no get out of jail free card

#

if you start a fight you need to be able to finish it or you will die

#

you must rely entirely on your situational awareness, positioning and melee fundamentals (blocking, dodging, shoving)

#

this all may sound dumb

#

so I will include a Scoreboard screenshot as proof that it is more ammo efficient in Damnation than a CIAG and Plasma

#

Vet on the far right is a Plasma user, the other Vet is CIAG

#

CIAG outdamaged me at range but still had less kills

#

and only 9k more damage now that I look at it again

#

remember that I am a clown and that this is effective but it is because I am a clown that it is effective

#

do not do this unless you are also a clown who wishes to suffer

midnight mortar
#

Was that Auric Damnation or just Damnation?

somber axle
#

just Damnation

#

I only just recently acquired Scoreboard so I'm still getting post match scoreboards as reference

#

I need to do an Auric Damnation and get a nice Scoreboard screenshot to show it performs there too

lilac kayak
somber axle
#

this was a 29 minute Damnation match though so this isn't a 45+ minute match padding numbers

#

this is actual performance in a real game

#

my team mates were not bad, they performed pretty good tbh

#

I was able to save ammo through Shock Trooper and crit stacking then used my extra mobility with Recon's faster speed to check back alleys, under stairs, etc. to ping ammo tins and packs for the others

#

depending on how you value ammo crate hits vs ammo tin pick ups I was even more ammo efficient than the Zealot running flamer

#

Plasma user definitely appreciated me not being an ammo vacuum and scouting out ammo for them

lilac kayak
#

ammo shouldn't be an issue on any missions that aren't hi shock or maelstrom lvl modifiers

somber axle
#

you'd be right except plasma user was going through it FAST

#

I think some plasma gun users are still adjusting to the surv aura nerf and how plasma gameplay encourages spamming M1

#

look at the ammo consumed by the plasma user

midnight mortar
#

That's the thing. If they're used to Aurics, then regular Damnation is exactly where you can afford to spam plasma.

#

Because enemy density is that much lower.

somber axle
#

7 tins, 3 packs, 3 ammo crate hits

#

that's a LOT of ammo to burn on plasma

#

it's because I ran Recon VId with my silly build maximizing on ammo econ that I could afford to run around finding ammo for them

#

if I had to compete with them using a weapon with worse ammo econ we'd both be dry during matches trying to fight over tins

lilac kayak

#

Veterans, what's your favorite cosmetic set?

somber axle
#

plus Auric Damnation is where you'll generally find THE best players

#

people competent enough that they could solo clutch consistently if they had to

#

Damnation players are generally very good but the skill level isn't the same as the average person in Aurics

#

plus we also have a lot of returning players/possibly new players who are running in and may not have played in a while or at all jumping into Damnation and Aurics

#

they will need time to learn and adjust

lilac kayak
somber axle
#

yeah and tbh as stressful as it is, I find it so much more fun

#

the more chaotic the better

#

sometimes after work I'm stressing because I just want a casual in and out adventure in Damnation and then my whole team falls over and I have to go into overdrive trying to save the run from a wipe

lilac kayak
somber axle
#

I tend to run Damnation mainly and only dip into Auric Damnation every so often if I'm feeling spicy because tbh I don't feel my personal skill level is right for Aurics

#

especially not for after work when I'm zombie mode

#

I do not want to hunt for carries in Aurics LOL

#

I am not someone who likes being carried, I like to be the one doing the heavy lifting or at bare minimum feel like I'm pulling my own weight

Actually I tried 3 stacks thrust against crusher. That's also 60% power.

Yeah, I do use dodge a lot, I'm sort of conflicted here, so the first one is lacking stats that it's fine without, and has two what I assume are good blessings, wouldn't it make more sense to use that one?

I've only seen it done and I haven't replicated it. After getting the battery from the shipping crate, someone goes up the elevator while someone stays behind. The one upstairs throws the battery down and the one downstairs plugs it in and pulls power (without anyone going down the elevator again). Guessing the upstairs guy just hits a button. I think you have to be a certain distance away or the elevator teleports you up too but I could never test that

That’s stamina cost for crit and sway right? The reload gives you time to build your stamina between bursts and even with scavenger, your ammo is limited enough that you won’t spend as much time eating stamina as you would an automatic

Low mobility made you miss out on a dodge but high defense should help you push a lot so it shouldn't matter too much.

thrust would just make the attack kill instead of slowly bleeding something out is the argument there

you do need to charge a bit though

if they ever buff bleed again it might be okay on bosses at least but until then I sure don't like bloodletter myself

I haven't done any tests but if you have max bloodletter and the bonus ogryn damage talent you might be able to bleed them out after a light review attack. Would probably require a headshot if it would 1 shot

though it's perfectly fine to bring a chainsword for hordes

# normal stone I keep getting overwhelmed with elites/ specials during damnation hi gauntlet us...

Hi Vet is very good at solo clutching in my experience. I think Ogryns have an easier time clutching just because as long as they can avoid disablers they have so much that just lets them instantly regen to full toughness every heavy swing while smashing hordes, elites, etc. Zealot is really easy to solo clutch with since most times when the rest of the squad goes down you'll be relying heavily on your melee. Psykers are hardest to clutch with imo just because if you go staff Psyker you need to be REALLY good with dodge slide tech and melee fundamentals like blocking/dodging/shoving or you're going to get swiss cheesed by shooters while trying to deal with threats in your face.

Vet is 3rd place for me behind Zealot but above Psyker for trying to survive on your own in Damnation High Intensity Shock Trooper gauntlet. You just have to work MUCH harder to do it than Ogryn/Zealot. Versatile loadout is key. Think of every single enemy type in the game and if your loadout has an answer to it then you know what to use and how it use it when that threat appears. Chainsword and Plasma are good at covering all your bases tbh so I'd recommend getting comfortable with backtracking if you find yourself overwhelmed in a segment and can't hold your ground. Sometimes you're next to a spawn door or staircase or something where hordes can surround you easier by circling or climbing. Finding proper positioning is VERY important

midnight totem

I'd consider a cleave blessing to be more important to have on the chainsword than Rampage

#

crit doesn't interact with cleave in any way for any weapon besides stuff related to blessings as far as I know

#

If not flamer then why does it shoot flames?

the benefit of shred is that chainsword is one of the few weapons to not have any weakspot/crit damage falloff on subsequent targets hit

You only rev heavies for things you can/want staggered, or if you are using thrust

Light spam with mk4 is a ton of dps because each one mini shreds (this does not proc bloodletter)

Slaughter 3 (working on getting a 4), and thrust 4
