but the icons state he can't even salvage them

#

sucks that your potential 540 rating has lopsided modifiers. as an Ia it can definitely hit accurately.

untold pagoda
#

so is haymaker perk good for knife veteran?

#

since meleeing is bit weaker than zealot perhaps it may compensate it?

#

just got a haymaker 4 from melk

midnight totem
#

Who says we're weaker? >(

untold pagoda
#

we are paper man wth

#

try to solo a zerker horde and we flopped around like fish

midnight totem
#

Hay maker is generally considered mid, but it's hilarious when it works and it works best on the mk6 knife

untold pagoda
#

yea i planned on getting it on my mk6 knife

#

if hadron didnt brick it

#

i saw zealot just insta kill 4 zerker with 1 swipe and that was insane

#

so i thought about getting on my knife

midnight totem
#

The push stable is a heavy too

untold pagoda
#

wait the push attack counted as heavy too?

midnight totem
#

At max haymaker, 20 percent chance to instakill on a heavy swing is very high

#

Yes

untold pagoda
#

wot

#

the fuck

#

fatshark

#

considering how easy it is to spam the push attack

midnight totem
#

Combat knives, dealing more damage then chain axes

untold pagoda
#

this is incredible

late hatch
#

Vet can go melee just fine

untold pagoda
#

and ive been playing vet since ever the game come out

#

ive been starting to play zealot recently tbh

#

and zealot feel much much tankier

untold pagoda
#

tbh that look like average of my zealot game

#

ive been hitting 500k dmg in all of it with zealot

#

but i once saw

#

an ogryn

#

idk how he did it

#

hit 875k dmg in 1 round

#

like wtf is he cheating

#

ogryn need a nerf

#

real

late hatch
#

Vet you need to manage your stam a bit better than zealot, and you usually have a lower dodge count, so it def is a bit more spammy as a zealot

untold pagoda
#

and the skill is just really spammable

late hatch
#

Ogryn is really strong, but has some really big drawbacks you have to play around

untold pagoda
#

yea but hitting 875k is insane

#

ive seen nothing close to that

late hatch
#

Ive seen scores over 1m

untold pagoda
#

holy shit

#

was it the ripper gun that was broken?

late hatch
#

Do you play ausric HIST?

untold pagoda
#

yea that is my go to every game

#

i just dont play on damnation anymore

late hatch
#

achlys stubber and kickback are best for ogryn atm i think

untold pagoda
#

i see

late hatch
#

then shield, shovel, or maybe a club

untold pagoda
#

but that particular ogryn isaw was using a ripper gun

#

and he use it like entire game

#

also hoarding ammo

late hatch
#

ripper is good too, can opener is OP

untold pagoda
#

yea so i heard but was it that op

#

like for real?

#

man i need to start playing ogryn

late hatch
#

can opener and flechette on a good ripper with glugger is insane

untold pagoda
#

i see

#

that prolly why lmao

#

he was rocking glugger build too

#

so i guess

late hatch
#

All of the classes are pretty well balanced and fun. Glugger loses a lot of powerful nodes by going right side, and if they take top right they lose the top left melee power making them even weaker again

#

And top right synergises really well with glugger, dep what weapon it can be a huge dps diff

untold pagoda
#

yea i got to try out the stubber with burn round

#

and holy lord

#

that thing is broken

#

and i havent max out ogryn yet

#

i was like at level 25 still

late hatch
#

yeah achlys or a ripper with flechette which gives bleed on crits, so then you make em bleed and burn thumbsup_ogryn

#

can opener requires melee special action so it can be traded out

untold pagoda
#

oh lmao both effect gonna be insane

untold pagoda
#

was it some activation on special attack?

#

kinda thing

late hatch
#

you stab with the bayonet and apply brittleness on target

untold pagoda
#

?

#

ohhh

#

that uhm mid

late hatch
#

like 8 stacks on t4 blessing

untold pagoda
#

i thought it did so on crit or something

#

wow yea i can see why

late hatch
#

its super good against armour, you stab a crusher in the head twice and he is almost dead and bleeding if you have the bleed perk, but you cant take if glugger

untold pagoda
#

i see

late hatch
#

But it will make your ranged weapon do more damage as you have shredded their armour

crude fiber
#

It's 16 stacks of 5% brittleness at t4. 80% KEKW_ogryn

minor jewel
#

hey chat what is the consensus on vets auras

midnight totem
#

Survivalist good, close and kill decent, fireteam niche (unless you're me)

minor jewel
#

been hearing in some places on a fire team nerf

midnight totem
#

Like, it was nerfed or there's an upcoming nerf?

minor jewel
#

that it should be

#

because it removes ammo management if you have a vet running it because you have a constant drip feed of ammo

midnight totem
#

Fireteam gives damage

#

Survivalist gives ammo

#

You got them mixed up

#

And it's very unlikely

#

Though if it were removed, I wouldn't mind

tame lodge
#

They should separate elites from specials and give different ammo % on kill, considering the amount of elites on the game

#

Although specials could just spawn infinitely so yeah, not the best idea so far

frank ether
#

just delete survivalist so this debate can end

midnight totem
#

Or give every class a lil bit of extra ammo regen ability

frank ether
#

just get it out of veteran

#

no more ''why didn't you pick survivalist'' from brain damaged ogryn player

#

no more ''you ruined darktide'' from deranged zealot main conveniently ignoring the psyker spamming staff AoE / shards the entire game

minor jewel
#

shards arent stupid op anymore

#

yey

hearty panther
#

veterans review bombed the game over the nerf lol

#

imagine if they had nerfed VoC at the same time

#

mass suicides

minor jewel
#

remember in open beta when vet was op?

hearty panther
#

vet has never stopped being OP

#

people just arent creative

midnight totem
#

I've said, this is my proposal. Vets keep survivalist as it is now. Zealots have a node that grants extra ammo on picking up a tin or stash. Ogryns just pull out an extra tin every two minutes or so like vets can regen grenades. Psykers have a node that gives ammo efficiency (chance to not use a bullet when shooting)

minor jewel
#

Id say ogryn takes the spot for being op now

#

because of point blank barrage and the fire thing it does

hearty panther
#

im willing to be corrected but i do not believe anyone had solo run with ogryn successfully

frank ether
#

yeah game with few thousdand active players left let alone fanatic vet mains gets ''review bombed'' by vet mains

hearty panther
#

i mean they did dude, lmao

frank ether
#

Last time yall were yapping about this

#

I sifted through pages and pages of reviews

hearty panther
#

the day the patch dropped suddenly there was 100 fresh negative reviews all citing survivalist

frank ether
#

found like less vet cryposts than I have fingers

hearty panther
#

or week rather

frank ether
#

crushing majority of negative reviews were ''why update late'', ''why game run so bad'' or ''I'm disappointed in fatshark'' etc etc

#

but sure

minor jewel
#

honestly I wonder if survivalist made you share some % of ammo picked up in coherency it would be a reasonable nerf

frank ether
#

whatever you want to blame the game state on

hearty panther
#

idk why youre trying to pretend Vets arent massive babies

frank ether
#

which class isnt at this point

minor jewel
#

ogryn

hearty panther
#

its been an unmistakable trend since launch

frank ether
#

are you to tell me the zealot spamming rashad m1 all game isn't a baby?

midnight totem
#

Cowards eschewing the true spirit of 40k

frank ether
#

or the psyker sitting in a bubble spamming smite because they saw 3 shotgunners?

midnight totem
hearty panther
#

is this some lame attempt at deflection

frank ether
#

all 4 classes have babymode but by all means blame the games failures on ''baby vet mains'' holding fatshark by the balls

hearty panther
#

oh it is

minor jewel
#

yeah he was

#

no waystones

iron marten
#

oh yeah, the +100 gold toughness was lol

#

and then the cooldown reduction from 45 to 30s with the +100 gold toughness

frank ether
#

cd reduction was enough

#

on vet by design you want to split your points around to make a sensible build

minor jewel
#

honestly if fire team would increase damage by like 7 or 8% it might hit some important breakpoints

frank ether
#

voc being on middle with only one node required

#

Its not just the best ult its also the most efficient path

minor jewel
#

and also close and kill giving stamina regen buffs

frank ether
#

And then you give its counterparts 4 FUCKING NODES and go suprised pikachu face when VoC ends up most notable

minor jewel
#

like you know how psyker has a really short stamina regen delay? close and kill should do that I think

frank ether
#

in a way they made improvements to left/right paths

#

but the ults remain the issue, some of the nodes that should be baseline aren't

junior needle
#

5% damage only helps your team if it actually gives you breakpoints

#

Which is unlikely that randos on your team are building around it for that

#

5% is a small margin, but agreed on bosses

sinful swallow
#

You'd get more damage with the trickle bullets you Regen on survival

#

Lol

frank ether
#

%5 is small but its on the efficient path and is still helpful

minor jewel
#

after using it to get that one penace it does have a solid place in my laspistol build

sinful swallow
#

Id even take 5% base damage

iron marten
#

god bless the penance update. Opened my eyes on smoke nades. Now I run it with every build

minor jewel
#

I still havent foudn them useful, havent done the penance tho

#

I hate how it coveres my teams view if Im not using executioners stance

frank ether
#

The %25 ammo I consider more critical than survivalist

#

It buffs all the ammo pick-ups if I'm not mistaken

sinful swallow
#

Yeaj

#

Since it's based on total

iron marten
#

ammo pick-ups are based on reserve ye

#

tins are 15%

#

packs are 50%

frank ether
#

on most melee based builds you're gonna end up there to take precision/deadshot anyway

#

to give your gun a little juice

minor jewel
#

what the penance system has opened my eyes on is the synergy between plasma gun and weapons specialist

junior needle
#

so yes

iron marten
minor jewel
#

hits some breakpoints with bulwarks and with always prepared you never have to reload

frank ether
#

I sometimes feel like auras are a bad idea

junior needle
#

Also someone told me that ammo counts couldn't go beyond 999 because of an integer limit or whatever, and that was a lie because the mg4 goes over 1100 with the ammo node

frank ether
#

like I'm just not sold on these class based buffs that affect your build but you can't reliably have it

#

its not like the helldivers boosters where you can have what you want at all times

junior needle
#

I think auras should be out of the tree and selectable in a sidebar or something

frank ether
#

so in a sense, auras being weak is better

#

stronger auras will just become must haves

#

by design

junior needle
#

(Like helldivers boosters)

frank ether
#

Yeah, I feel this way about grenades aswell.

junior needle
#

Another thing arrowhead has done better than obesefish

iron marten
#

yeah, I don't like how nades affect my pathing

junior needle
#

same

lime gyro
#

AH has done alot of good things

frank ether
#

like your aura/grenade choice affecting pathing is the main reason these elements are such complaining points

tawny badger
#

what's this about nades affecting pathing

lime gyro
#

If FS took some notes darktide would be chefs kiss mwah

tawny badger
#

well maybe not notes on weapon balancing

lime gyro
#

We dont speak on that

frank ether
#

They chose to improve the lacking paths instead

#

kinda evident from right path veteran buffs and smoke buffs

lime gyro
#

:((

junior needle
#

"Make almost all the weapons dogshit"

#

Fatshark did that on release

tawny badger
#

HMG dead on arrival⁉️

lime gyro
#

Hopefully this next patch will fix up the weapon issue for HD2 atleast

iron marten
#

I did like the change they did with the keystones - putting the 3 toughness regen nodes at the top

lime gyro
#

Or atleast at the bare minimum be a step towards that direction

frank ether
iron marten
#

Confirmed Kill used to be near the bottom lol

junior needle
#

Ilas are technically fine numerically

frank ether
#

Its not so much the amount of recoil though

#

the way the game does recoil

iron marten
#

an excerpt of my skill tree for psword/plasma lol

junior needle
#

But I HATE using them because of the bouncing

frank ether
#

often times uncontrollable recoil

#

nothing to master

junior needle
#

And it doesn't even line up with the sight

minor jewel
#

I still think power sword is a problem child, not as much of one anymore tho

#

idk if that opinion is outdated

junior needle
#

Peesword should be strong if it's gonna be tedious to use with the charging

#

And the mobility

lime gyro
#

i havent used psword in a looong time

junior needle
#

I think weapons that need constant charging should be reworked

#

That shit is annoying

lime gyro
#

Ive been using dclaw since back when everyone used to call it mega dogshit (it kinda was dooky back then) but still

agile forge
#

Other weapons have started to prove themselves to be very good is the thing

iron marten
#

looking back at my old dt clips when power cycler gave me 7 energized swings lol

agile forge
#

And they don't have shit mobility and recharge issues

frank ether
#

the psword rework with push attack was cool and all but the core issue remains

lime gyro
#

What we need are more full auto lasguns

#

:((((

agile forge
#

Like the chainsword 4 is busted ATM, but struggles against armour

agile forge
frank ether
#

what kind of moron would walk into a fight with their weapon uncharged lmao thats the other thing

agile forge
#

We get the half-broken hand-me-downs

lime gyro
agile forge
#

At least the accatran laspistol :)

#

Recons poop

lime gyro
#

Nah the recon lasguns

frank ether
#

recon is actually viable now

iron marten
lime gyro
#

U still have to be super nitpicky and about ur blessings

junior needle
frank ether
#

Yes

#

you still need to have shock trooper

#

which is the big crutch carrying it

lime gyro
#

Ive had millions of dockets go down the drain and tens of thpusands of plasteel too

#

Trying to get the ideal recon

#

Still till this day havent

agile forge
#

It doesn't help that all classes except ogryn are crit classes now

junior needle
#

They're still sizably underperforming

agile forge
#

So recon has bad synergy in general

junior needle
#

By a large margin

lime gyro
#

Its just fatshark literally gutted the recons post 13

frank ether
#

the gunplay system in many cases doesn't allow for skill expression

lime gyro
#

They buffed it too hard then gutted it even harder

agile forge
#

Like some people use recons on gun psyker

iron marten
#

this was my recon in the 20 days it was useable

agile forge
#

And it baffles me

frank ether
#

they don't know how to limit powerful weapons because of that

#

so crits it is

agile forge
#

Veteran it's ok

#

But on psyker it's fucking garbage

frank ether
#

Tbh crits arent a bad mechanic the way they implement it

lime gyro
#

I use recon cuz i kinda like a challenge and its the only full auto lasgun

frank ether
#

I want to be fair

minor jewel
#

honestly people should use the laspistol on psyker, its way better than youd think

agile forge
#

I have no problem with crits being a thing

frank ether
#

many waepons and many classes where you can reliably get crits back to back when you want them

junior needle
#

Crits strings are apparently on their way out

agile forge
#

CIAG is viscerally satisfying though

iron marten
junior needle
#

And supposedly recons are getting reworked down the line

lime gyro
#

I use recon cuz theres no hotshots n thats the closest thing

frank ether
junior needle
#

According to unconfirmed hypothetical reports which are in no way indicative of fact due to NDA's

agile forge
#

The laspistol still doesn't really feel powerful to me, even in a build that makes it work well

iron marten
#

also, if you want to spice it up, do knife and helbore

agile forge
#

The main upside for me is suppression resistance built in

lime gyro
#

if fatshark adds a hotshot my life will be complete

agile forge
lime gyro
#

Im gonna be running knife soon but w recon instead of hellbore

#

Lasgun needs to go brrr

frank ether
#

Will they just delete crit strings and replace it with nothing though?

#

there has to be a catch to this

junior needle
iron marten
minor jewel
#

btw the og shovel special can stop mutants from charging if you get a headshot

lime gyro
#

Lol if crit strings get gone then recon will just be straight up unuseable

frank ether
lime gyro
#

The crit strings r the only thing thats like heavily carrying tht gun rn

frank ether
#

nerfing crit strings I don't really mind too much

junior needle
gilded wraith
lime gyro
#

My whole build which makes the recon remotely decent for auric damns and maels heavily relies on crits

iron marten
junior needle
#

Oh whoops, that example has crits. It's like 1400 maniac dps without any crits irrc

agile forge
frank ether
agile forge
#

And more because of rending and ammo recovery

lime gyro
#

I crit as much as i rend cuz i use shooters stance too

agile forge
#

I mean you have the rending from crits or something

#

Brittle from crits maybe

frank ether
#

I like how barebones ciag gets two crit strings there

junior needle
frank ether
#

and you can see how impactful crit chains are

#

back to back crit-crit-crit-crit

iron marten
#

if ur insane, run deadshot with ciag

junior needle
#

You can't proc additional crit strings off a crit string btw

gilded wraith
#

Watch them nerf crit strings and onslaught in the same patch.

frank ether
#

its good

agile forge
#

I stopped using it tbh

iron marten
frank ether
#

if you're already committed to stamina its not that bad

agile forge
#

It's good but it costs far too much

frank ether
#

if you dont build for stamina I wouldn't

agile forge
#

And MF Ex Stance CIAG is already so point hungry

#

I was having to sacrifice grenade regeneration for it

#

For something which was arguably crippling me lol

frank ether
junior needle
#

If you went without a keystone you could do it fine I'm pretty sure

frank ether
#

the attraction of deadshot builds is the point efficiency anyway

#

but with crit strings potentially being out

#

what do they want us to do?

#

everyone running revolver?

#

will soon find out I guess

iron marten
#

I just hope we have a better than a band-aid solution for surv

junior needle
#

Something like this, extra points with nade regen

terse idol
iron marten
#

true

#

increase the ammo reserve instead

terse idol
#

Max ammo increase could help for sure

#

Least for things that neeed it

#

Like boltgun

iron marten
#

yeah, poor bolter

#

got hit pretty hard with surv nerf

#

I guess fan revolver too if you just ride the high shooting it for 2 seconds

junior needle
#

And now everyone has to constantly ammo goblin

frank ether
#

great time to play melee vet

iron marten
#

idm if they horde ammo and do damage with it

junior needle
#

Great time to play bleed knife zealot KEKW_ogryn

iron marten
#

if I see 13 small ammo taken but 700k damage, I won't complain

junior needle
iron marten
#

I was just referencing that one kickback ogryn I played with

frank ether
#

the only difference is kickback ogryn doesn't have to try

iron marten
#

took all the ammo, but goddamn his damage was the real thing

#

yeah true

frank ether
#

do you know how they do it?

#

they look at the general vicinity of the enemy and press M1

#

if you can do this

#

good job

#

you mastered ogryn skill ceiling for gunplay

tawny badger
junior needle
#

Kickback overkills a bunch on soft targets so the damage looks more useful than it is

#

t. kickback user

frank ether
#

now I can show you how to dodge slide in stream and you can also master ogy skill ceiling for movement

iron marten
tawny badger
#

dangit game stop giving me mk 3 hellbores

frank ether
junior needle
#

I haven't used vanilla scoreboard for a long time but probably

#

But you have to actually look at that number

frank ether
#

Honestly ogy is so braindead I'd actually fall asleep on keeb if I did that

iron marten
#

it does, but according to ovenproof, who made a plugin for the scoreboard, it's inaccurate, so he made a plugin for it that fixes it

#

I use PowerDI anyway

#

I can see people's builds with it

frank ether
#

I should probably update my scoreboard

#

it hasnt been updated in like a year lmao

iron marten
#

lmao

frank ether
#

thing is I do not really care so I never bothered

#

but if its reporting false info

#

might aswell fix that

#

Eh, I'm not even using ovenproof's one

#

I have the uh, other one

iron marten
frank ether
#

yep

iron marten
frank ether
#

I guess I kinda just stopped caring

#

about numbers

#

and performance

iron marten
#

I probably should too, but I always like seeing if someone does better than the entire team by a large margin, so I just steal their build

frank ether
#

my runs end over small things if they ever do

#

like oh silent poxburster

#

or skating mauler

junior needle
#

Or shockwave overheads that visibly miss you when you dodge but you still instantly die to them

midnight totem
#

The 90 degree angle crusher overhead

frank ether
#

I had one get me while I was behind the crusher once lmao

#

good times

#

To be honest sometimes I feel like its not a game bug or netcode issue

#

but just servers being terrible

#

last time I convinced some old friends to boot darktide up we had the server boot all 4 of us out

#

the game didn't end though weirdly enough, we could reconnect, it was just laggy ah

clear lantern
frank ether
#

the only stat that matters is how much plasteel you picked up

somber axle
#

One of my fav matches of all time was playing my Ogryn and helping a level 20 and a level 26 through Hab Dreyko

#

It's more fun not knowing how they're performing because they're not even max level so it didn't matter

#

They don't have full talent trees or maxed out weapons and they're not hunting for slight upgrades on 370 base rating weapons for ideal stats/perks/blessings

#

Sometimes whatever the numbers are don't matter and it's all about how the game felt

#

And I really, really loved that game

frank ether
#

when leveling I always hope I'll just get carried for fast xp

#

and end up with lvl 30's in malice with kitted weapons that somehow underperform and need babying lmao

#

maybe I just pick the wrong hours lmao

shadow aurora
#

I wonder why they decided to put the smoke grenade out n the right side of the tree

#

Works so much better with shout and exe builds

oak gorge
#

i kinda like the splinter cell stuff all being on the right side of the tree

thick kestrel
#

thematics mainly, smoke lines up with the sneaky theming of the combat specialist/infiltrate side of the tree

#

as well as providing a means to help you dive gunner nests

shadow aurora
#

Yeah it lines up but smoke is easily the worst nade to take with infil

oak gorge
#

but it's cool

#

:3

shadow aurora
#

Fair

oak gorge
#

plus i can forget i still have 2 of them left at the exit elevator and throw them all in there

#

and in fairness it does tend towards the rescue/support aspects the right side of the tree has

I hate Focus Target so much... Still got 440 kills to go, my pinky finger hurts so much holding down the crouch button KEKW_ogryn

#

I managed to kill one of my team mates in a previous mission lol

#

big guy got grabbed by a chaos spawn and seems like clipped through the walls during the grab animation, I used voice of command

#

and big guy fell down the abyss 😦

oak gorge
#

still funny that a vet can shout so loud a chaos spawn drops its prey

trim steppe
#

You shouted him out of existence? That's metal asf

hollow warren
#

yeah, I shouted, the spawn let go of the ogryn while he was still behind textures

#

fell all the way down to the center of Atoma it seems

#

some say he is still falling to this day

#

okay, back to crab walking the entire mission

analog mural
#

Yeah cspawn grab tends to cause out of bounds issues

#

Ive been personally yeeted out of bounds by cspawn atleast three times that I remember

junior needle
#

It's muties for me

analog mural
#

Yeah I've had that too but it hasn't happened with muties in a while so I think they are mostly fixed

#

Although it could just be that I've gotten better and therefore grabbed less

No keystone veteran is enlightened

#

Yes

The combat bbgun

midnight totem
#

I mean, if it's a serious question, no

charred dome
#

So just to be sure because I rolled up a vet, mk2 and mk5 axes are really only different with the modifiers? One has finesse and the other has cleave targets?

untold pagoda
#

mobility is dump stat

#

i think so it the same with stability really

damage>stopping power>ammo

wow thats a lot of words

Stupid question but does charismatic affect cohesion radius or just aura?

It says aura but ogryn has a similar talent that affects cohesion, I'm wondering if it's just an oversight

A friend used VoC to shout someone out of a Burgle so unless something else happened to stagger the Burgle that I didn't see it can make them vomit

Okay but what lost bet?

#

I made an open bet that anyone who could make a Kantrael IV Infantry Lasgun do at least 2k+ DPS on a Crusher would win me entering voice chat and telling them they're cooler than me and then after realised that it's not a hard metric to hit at all

it was a very dumb challenge in retrospect

You can already achieve 1HKO status on a Crusher with it

The weak spot damage perk is generally very bad

I can 3 hit a Crusher with a catachan knife with my Vet build specifically for getting an extra 100% weakspot damage

midnight totem
#

Pretty sure being that famous would be a bad idea yeah

somber axle
#

the money would be nice and being the voice of a popular character would be SO COOL but people on the internet are weird dude LMFAO

pale pecan
#

Gotta have that 10% to hit the 3 hit

junior needle
#

They only apply to the bonus damage of the hit, and not the whole hit. So if you hit for 100, and weakspot hit for 110, 10% weakspot damage will give you 1 more damage.

#

They're always lower value than it seems, and the actual value depends on the base finesse damage of the weapon

slow spade
#

A shame it works like that :c

junior needle
#

Agree, it's really dumb

pale pecan
#

So if I'm understanding you right

#

If a body shot hits for 200 and a weakspot for 400, that means 200 bonus damage from a weakspot

#

So 10% of that bonus damage is 20

junior needle
#

yep

pale pecan
#

So half as much?

#

So it's really 5% weakspot damage

junior needle
#

In that scenario, yes

pale pecan
#

Interesting

#

I didn't know that

junior needle
#

But it depends on the weapon

#

Some have very low finesse values

#

So it can be like 2%

pale pecan
#

Well weapons without a finesse stat at all definitely suffer

junior needle
#

So

#

the finesse stat is not necessarily important for that

#

You can have a weapon with high finesse damage that doesn't have a finesse stat

pale pecan
#

Example?

junior needle
#

Finesse on the stat bar for melee weapons also affects attack speed

#

Off the top of my head, chainswords have pretty high finesse modifiers for a weapon with good damage on regular hits

#

A weapon can have arbitrarily high finesse damage because fatshark happened to put it that way

hollow warren
#

thank the Emperor that's over with

junior needle
#

There we go

#

Most melee weapons have the finesse stat even if their finesse damage values sugg

#

For the laspistol, is Ghost/Infernus ok as the 2 blessings on it?

#

Hm ok

junior needle
#

It's much less useful in practice than it looks

sullen scarab
#

Man, I keep trying to roll a good accatran but get dumpstered lol

junior needle
#

Laspeestols do big chunks of damage, especially on a crit

#

Which is bad for infernus usage

sullen scarab
#

true

junior needle
#

Ghost also enables deadshot/dnd shenanigans

sullen scarab
#

Which pistol is more preferred, the fast one or the slow one?

#

yeah I was running ghost with the shennaingans lol

#

i keep rolling stuff like this lol

#

or the useless crit damage perk

junior needle
#

Crit chance is actually a good perk for the 2 if you roll it

sullen scarab
#

yeah

#

just wish I could change the crit damage to something else haha

#

maniac damage is so low on it

junior needle
#

Rending strikes helps with that

sullen scarab
#

I rolled a perfect Kantrael version, but I'm not sure if I like running the kantreal

#

ohhh true

#

maybe I'll just use the crit one for now

#

with rending strikes

#

does the rending stack? like if I shoot someone armored 10 times, it goes up to 100%?

junior needle
#

Yeah the maniac and unyielding values are scuffed

#

No, unless it explicitly applies stacks of brittle like onslaught

sullen scarab
#

ok

#

so just a flat 10% buff

junior needle
#

It's a flat amount, but the flat amounts are added together

#

So if you take the 10% rending from the crabman keystone

#

You get 20% rending, enough to push you up to near 100 at ideal ranges on those damage types

#

And also do acceptable damage to carapace

sullen scarab
#

got it

#

thanks again!

oh snap, keystoneless

junior needle
#

So you can take whatever pleases you

sullen scarab
#

excellent, thank you

#

I can skip Take it Down, right?

#

trying to decide between the rending one from crabwalking or boss damage lol

junior needle
#

Take it down is which one?

sullen scarab
#

the Unyielding damage bonus one

#

to the right of the rending strikes one

tall torrent
#

that's ogryn & monster dmg

#

it's not unyielding

junior needle
#

Bring it down, and you could take it if you want

#

It's better than straight up unyielding

#

Because it affects crushers too

sullen scarab
#

oh true

junior needle
#

The 5% crit node is also an option

sullen scarab
#

I think I'll take that over the rending at 10 stacks one

junior needle
#

You'll get more crusher damage out of the rending

#

More general damage as well for maniacs and not as much for regular unyielding targets

short crane
#

if im not going mid keystone i'd put points in reciprocity and desperado for a more well rounded build and more crit

sullen scarab
#

ah ok

#

rending works on maniacs as well?

#

just flat damage bonus right?

junior needle
#

Rending works on maniac/flak/carapace/unyielding

sullen scarab
#

is it the "downgrade" mechanic

junior needle
#

And rending works by adjusting the ADM of your weapon to that type

sullen scarab
#

where they drop to a lower tier

junior needle
#

No, that's only for fotf

sullen scarab
#

ahhh ok

tall torrent
#

I don't think u need shock trooper since u already play survivalist

#

get superiority complex instead

sullen scarab
#

yeah that's another one maybe

junior needle
#

From my experience with the laspistol, I'd recommend shocktrooper still

#

Its ammo pool isn't nearly as deep as ilas

tall torrent
#

rending strikes is not the most impactful node for laspistol

short crane
#

survivalist nerf hit hard man :<

sullen scarab
#

I'll just roll more laspitols and see what I get lol

junior needle
#

And rending adjusts those linearly until you hit 100%

sullen scarab
#

ahhh ok, yes, I remember now

junior needle
#

Of course, whether it changes your breakpoints depends

tall torrent
#

rending doesn't push breakpoints for mk2 laspistol

#

not needed

#

if u take it for pure maniac dps, that's fine but not gonna make a big difference because half ur dps comes from weakspot & crit

sullen scarab
#

got it

#

if u take it for boss dmg, might as well take ogryn dmg instead
