sucks that your potential 540 rating has lopsided modifiers. as an Ia it can definitely hit accurately.
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
Who says we're weaker? >(
Hay maker is generally considered mid, but it's hilarious when it works and it works best on the mk6 knife
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
The push stable is a heavy too
wait the push attack counted as heavy too?
At max haymaker, 20 percent chance to instakill on a heavy swing is very high
Yes
Combat knives, dealing more damage then chain axes
this is incredible
Vet has insane access to toughness regen and Iron Will, and a great selection of weapons.
Vet can go melee just fine
strangely i dont feel like it tbh
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
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
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
yea that probably why
and the skill is just really spammable
Ogryn is really strong, but has some really big drawbacks you have to play around
Ive seen scores over 1m
Do you play ausric HIST?
achlys stubber and kickback are best for ogryn atm i think
i see
then shield, shovel, or maybe a club
but that particular ogryn isaw was using a ripper gun
and he use it like entire game
also hoarding ammo
ripper is good too, can opener is OP
yea so i heard but was it that op
like for real?
man i need to start playing ogryn
can opener and flechette on a good ripper with glugger is insane
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
yea like signifcantly too around at least that is my limited ogryn experience say
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
yeah achlys or a ripper with flechette which gives bleed on crits, so then you make em bleed and burn 
can opener requires melee special action so it can be traded out
oh lmao both effect gonna be insane
wdym?
was it some activation on special attack?
kinda thing
you stab with the bayonet and apply brittleness on target
like 8 stacks on t4 blessing
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
i see
But it will make your ranged weapon do more damage as you have shredded their armour
It's 16 stacks of 5% brittleness at t4. 80% 
hey chat what is the consensus on vets auras
Survivalist good, close and kill decent, fireteam niche (unless you're me)
been hearing in some places on a fire team nerf
Like, it was nerfed or there's an upcoming nerf?
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
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
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
just delete survivalist so this debate can end
Or give every class a lil bit of extra ammo regen ability
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
veterans review bombed the game over the nerf lol
imagine if they had nerfed VoC at the same time
mass suicides
remember in open beta when vet was op?
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)
Id say ogryn takes the spot for being op now
because of point blank barrage and the fire thing it does
im willing to be corrected but i do not believe anyone had solo run with ogryn successfully
yeah game with few thousdand active players left let alone fanatic vet mains gets ''review bombed'' by vet mains
i mean they did dude, lmao
the day the patch dropped suddenly there was 100 fresh negative reviews all citing survivalist
found like less vet cryposts than I have fingers
or week rather
crushing majority of negative reviews were ''why update late'', ''why game run so bad'' or ''I'm disappointed in fatshark'' etc etc
but sure
honestly I wonder if survivalist made you share some % of ammo picked up in coherency it would be a reasonable nerf
whatever you want to blame the game state on
idk why youre trying to pretend Vets arent massive babies
which class isnt at this point
ogryn
its been an unmistakable trend since launch
are you to tell me the zealot spamming rashad m1 all game isn't a baby?
Cowards eschewing the true spirit of 40k
or the psyker sitting in a bubble spamming smite because they saw 3 shotgunners?
is this some lame attempt at deflection
all 4 classes have babymode but by all means blame the games failures on ''baby vet mains'' holding fatshark by the balls
oh it is
I have a story about htis, before patch 13 and I said I used some other perk that wasnt meta because it could fucking with enemy ai and I got yelled at here
yeah he was
no waystones
oh yeah, the +100 gold toughness was lol
and then the cooldown reduction from 45 to 30s with the +100 gold toughness
cd reduction was enough
on vet by design you want to split your points around to make a sensible build
honestly if fire team would increase damage by like 7 or 8% it might hit some important breakpoints
voc being on middle with only one node required
Its not just the best ult its also the most efficient path
and also close and kill giving stamina regen buffs
And then you give its counterparts 4 FUCKING NODES and go suprised pikachu face when VoC ends up most notable
like you know how psyker has a really short stamina regen delay? close and kill should do that I think
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
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
%5 is small but its on the efficient path and is still helpful
after using it to get that one penace it does have a solid place in my laspistol build
Id even take 5% base damage
god bless the penance update. Opened my eyes on smoke nades. Now I run it with every build
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
The %25 ammo I consider more critical than survivalist
It buffs all the ammo pick-ups if I'm not mistaken
on most melee based builds you're gonna end up there to take precision/deadshot anyway
to give your gun a little juice
what the penance system has opened my eyes on is the synergy between plasma gun and weapons specialist
Ammo pickups are % based on reserve
so yes
Ye that's fair. Haven't seen anyone on my team complain though, unless they're being nice, lol
hits some breakpoints with bulwarks and with always prepared you never have to reload
See the thing is even tho its really strong no one complains about it because its a vet only thing
I sometimes feel like auras are a bad idea
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
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
I think auras should be out of the tree and selectable in a sidebar or something
so in a sense, auras being weak is better
stronger auras will just become must haves
by design
(Like helldivers boosters)
Yeah, I feel this way about grenades aswell.
Another thing arrowhead has done better than obesefish
yeah, I don't like how nades affect my pathing
same
AH has done alot of good things
like your aura/grenade choice affecting pathing is the main reason these elements are such complaining points
what's this about nades affecting pathing
If FS took some notes darktide would be chefs kiss mwah
well maybe not notes on weapon balancing
We dont speak on that
They chose to improve the lacking paths instead
kinda evident from right path veteran buffs and smoke buffs
:((
HMG dead on arrival⁉️
Hopefully this next patch will fix up the weapon issue for HD2 atleast
I did like the change they did with the keystones - putting the 3 toughness regen nodes at the top
Or atleast at the bare minimum be a step towards that direction
If you asked me a lot of the guns still feel terrible to use and I have to jump through hoops to make them bearable
Confirmed Kill used to be near the bottom lol
The recoil in this game contributes heavily to the "this weapon feels like shit" factor
Ilas are technically fine numerically
an excerpt of my skill tree for psword/plasma lol
But I HATE using them because of the bouncing
And it doesn't even line up with the sight
I still think power sword is a problem child, not as much of one anymore tho
idk if that opinion is outdated
Peesword should be strong if it's gonna be tedious to use with the charging
And the mobility
i havent used psword in a looong time
I think weapons that need constant charging should be reworked
That shit is annoying
Ive been using dclaw since back when everyone used to call it mega dogshit (it kinda was dooky back then) but still
Other weapons have started to prove themselves to be very good is the thing
looking back at my old dt clips when power cycler gave me 7 energized swings lol
And they don't have shit mobility and recharge issues
the psword rework with push attack was cool and all but the core issue remains
Like the chainsword 4 is busted ATM, but struggles against armour
Just make the ones we have decent
what kind of moron would walk into a fight with their weapon uncharged lmao thats the other thing
We get the half-broken hand-me-downs
Dude theres nothing more i want then a accatran buff
Accatran is great btw
At least the accatran laspistol :)
Recons poop
Nah the recon lasguns
recon is actually viable now
got me there in the first half
U still have to be super nitpicky and about ur blessings
""""Viable""""
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
It doesn't help that all classes except ogryn are crit classes now
They're still sizably underperforming
So recon has bad synergy in general
By a large margin
Its just fatshark literally gutted the recons post 13
the gunplay system in many cases doesn't allow for skill expression
They buffed it too hard then gutted it even harder
Like some people use recons on gun psyker
this was my recon in the 20 days it was useable
And it baffles me
Tbh crits arent a bad mechanic the way they implement it
I use recon cuz i kinda like a challenge and its the only full auto lasgun
I want to be fair
honestly people should use the laspistol on psyker, its way better than youd think
I have no problem with crits being a thing
Accatran laspistol is good
many waepons and many classes where you can reliably get crits back to back when you want them
Crits strings are apparently on their way out
CIAG is viscerally satisfying though
lately, I've been cosplaying as a guardsman with a knife and ilas... it's been painful but fun, to say the least
And supposedly recons are getting reworked down the line
Im just a kasrkin with a dclaw and a recon lasgun
I use recon cuz theres no hotshots n thats the closest thing
Ciag users on suicide watch, I've been experimenting with a weakspot based agriag build though, and its already decent
According to unconfirmed hypothetical reports which are in no way indicative of fact due to NDA's
i seee
The laspistol still doesn't really feel powerful to me, even in a build that makes it work well
also, if you want to spice it up, do knife and helbore
The main upside for me is suppression resistance built in
if fatshark adds a hotshot my life will be complete
Shovel 7 and helbore
Im gonna be running knife soon but w recon instead of hellbore
Lasgun needs to go brrr
Will they just delete crit strings and replace it with nothing though?
there has to be a catch to this
You don't even need crits for big damage on ciag, but automatics would very likely also get a crit chance buff if crit strings were removed. Most are sitting at -2%
I've been trying to like shovel... but I keep falling back to knife
btw the og shovel special can stop mutants from charging if you get a headshot
Lol if crit strings get gone then recon will just be straight up unuseable
You need a finesse hit of either kind at the very least
The crit strings r the only thing thats like heavily carrying tht gun rn
nerfing crit strings I don't really mind too much
Still has extremely good bodyshot damage on unyielding and maniac
Hopefully that keeps the ciag from suffering the recon fate.
My whole build which makes the recon remotely decent for auric damns and maels heavily relies on crits
bolt pistol soon... my commissar vet will be complete...
Oh whoops, that example has crits. It's like 1400 maniac dps without any crits irrc
It's less because of the crit damage though right
ciag at point blank does dps yes
And more because of rending and ammo recovery
I crit as much as i rend cuz i use shooters stance too
I like how barebones ciag gets two crit strings there
There's no rending on crit anymore for ranged, it's purely because of shocktrooper. Recons have very low finesse values.
if ur insane, run deadshot with ciag
You can't proc additional crit strings off a crit string btw
Watch them nerf crit strings and onslaught in the same patch.
people been doing this since like p13
its good
I stopped using it tbh
I tried it once, never again. Though, I do admire the madlads that use it
if you're already committed to stamina its not that bad
It's good but it costs far too much
if you dont build for stamina I wouldn't
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
its overkill and point hungry
If you went without a keystone you could do it fine I'm pretty sure
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
I just hope we have a better than a band-aid solution for surv
Something like this, extra points with nade regen
Gotta kill surv 😌
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
like deleting it
Pubs implode because people who waste ammo refuse to stop doing it
And now everyone has to constantly ammo goblin
great time to play melee vet
idm if they horde ammo and do damage with it
Great time to play bleed knife zealot 
if I see 13 small ammo taken but 700k damage, I won't complain
700k damage
lol, lmao
hahaha
I was just referencing that one kickback ogryn I played with
the only difference is kickback ogryn doesn't have to try
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
13 small ammo ❌
13 large ammo ✅
Kickback overkills a bunch on soft targets so the damage looks more useful than it is
t. kickback user
now I can show you how to dodge slide in stream and you can also master ogy skill ceiling for movement

dangit game stop giving me mk 3 hellbores
doesnt scoreboard separate overkill dmg though
show you how to dodge slide in stream
Step 1: Make an ahk macro to do it for you
I haven't used vanilla scoreboard for a long time but probably
But you have to actually look at that number
Honestly ogy is so braindead I'd actually fall asleep on keeb if I did that
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
lmao
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
yep
this is ovenproof's plugin for it https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/241
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/281 though I use this now
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
my runs end over small things if they ever do
like oh silent poxburster
or skating mauler
Or shockwave overheads that visibly miss you when you dodge but you still instantly die to them
The 90 degree angle crusher overhead
oh the dodge bonanza special
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
if the team made it, and you got some books if there's books to get, a win is a win
the only stat that matters is how much plasteel you picked up
25 tonnes
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
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
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
i kinda like the splinter cell stuff all being on the right side of the tree
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
Yeah it lines up but smoke is easily the worst nade to take with infil
Fair
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 
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 😦
still funny that a vet can shout so loud a chaos spawn drops its prey
You shouted him out of existence? That's metal asf
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
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
It's muties for me
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
i did a no keystone boltgun build once
when i had to reinstall the game all my loadouts were gone
goodbye bolter
Fellas is this worth upgrading?
I would not, you can do better easily
I mean, if it's a serious question, no
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?
stopping power affect armor penetration so no man
mobility is dump stat
i think so it the same with stability really
damage>stopping power>ammo
Essentially. And the fact that Rashad has finesse makes it just straight up better than antax pretty much
chat when you're a puny vet and the rest are ogryns 
Is this still a good laspistol roll, or do you really need Dumdum on it over infernus nowadays?
I run it with deadshot lol
My fav is a VoC Vet shouting a Burgle into spitting up an Ogryn
"WHAT'S IN YOUR MOUTH?? SPIT IT OUT! RIGHT NOW!!"
like they're talking to a dog
gracias m80
Yeah I have 150 hours in ogryn and literally nothing else
Was like damn I need to try something else lol
What should I change on this Helbore?
hey sorry for not doing the thing yesterday I was tired after work and forgor after getting home let me know whenever you want to get the lost bet out of the way or if you're fine without it that's fine too 
Stupid question but does charismatic affect cohesion radius or just aura?
death penalty
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
What lost bet?
I was very, very stupid but in fairness I was on 4 hours of sleep
Ah so it's just the wrong wording
100% gonna take that then
I always grab it on ogryn lol
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
Yeah, especially if you run Focus
Ah lol
There's enough rending in the Vet tree for me to juice Recons into 3.4k DPS on Crushers so I should have known the Kantrael IVs could hit that easily too
Now someone help me figure out this Helbore
Blessings are perfect leave those alone
Was wondering if No Respite might be better than Chaining
I'd do Carapace/Elite but I think numbers cat might recommend maniac
and when I say he might recommend maniac
I think he'd recommend maniac over Carapace
Maniac is always a good choice
No that's a Mk III, the slowest firing variant
Hoisted by your own clown tricks 
It basically NEEDS Weight of Fire
Gotcha gotcha, I was just playing into the never needing ammo aspect with Shock Trooper
I understand completely because I do that on my Mk III and Mk II Helbores too LOL
I'm basically using it as a sniper class weapon anyways so I was thinking less chaining more precise shots
But I guess that makes sense
I have learned a lesson I will not repeat and if all goes well Soldier 69 will be the only person to ever know my voice here LMFAO
chain your precise shots 
the vox recorder under the floorboards:
That's a good idea in theory but in practice you'll be firing a lot of follow up shots to deal with other threats. If you kill one target, there will always be another. And another after that one too. WoF helps you on taking care of multiple threats rapidly
Fair enough
I don't think No Respite helps the Mk III on any breakpoints but I'm not entirely sure about that
Gotcha
You can already achieve 1HKO status on a Crusher with it
With Carapace I assume?
No respite is only active on already staggered targets

Pretty sure it also affects attacks that will stagger a target
Carapace makes the breakpoint easier but idk if it's strictly necessary
I'd have to hop back into the Psykanium for clown science
Fair, Weakspot Damage and Maniacs is always a good choice anyways
You're more likely to consistently 2HKO Crushers with a Mk III but with enough juice you can 1HKO the first couple Crushers in your sights at the very least
weakspot damage is not a good choice
I tested it awhile back and it didn't do that, but it could've been a classic fatshark undocumented change since then
Surely with stacking all the weakspot damage vet has it's fine
The weak spot damage perk is generally very bad
The precision strikes talent is generally a good take though
You mean the keystone?
Too late. I got an entire YouTube clip of your voice
im entirely obsessed w pomni from the amazing digital circus but couldn't find a clean edit of every one of her voice lines so i made one :) hopefully this is helpful for whatever reason you wanted it!
posting all vocalization + sfx only edits soon as well ty like and subscribe
Yeah I use Weakspot on everything I can help it with
Dude I wish I was the voice of Pomni LMFAO


I can 3 hit a Crusher with a catachan knife with my Vet build specifically for getting an extra 100% weakspot damage
Pretty sure being that famous would be a bad idea yeah
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
Gotta have that 10% to hit the 3 hit
Are you aware of how crit and weakspot damage actually work?
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
A shame it works like that :c
Agree, it's really dumb
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
yep
In that scenario, yes
But it depends on the weapon
Some have very low finesse values
So it can be like 2%
Well weapons without a finesse stat at all definitely suffer
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
Example?
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
thank the Emperor that's over with
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?
This ogryn knife has 1.6x on unarmored without a finesse stat, and the peesword has about that with
Or do I really need dumdum
Take dumdum over infernus
Hm ok
It's much less useful in practice than it looks
Man, I keep trying to roll a good accatran but get dumpstered lol
Laspeestols do big chunks of damage, especially on a crit
Which is bad for infernus usage
true
Ghost also enables deadshot/dnd shenanigans
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
Crit chance is actually a good perk for the 2 if you roll it
yeah
just wish I could change the crit damage to something else haha
maniac damage is so low on it
Rending strikes helps with that
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%?
Yeah the maniac and unyielding values are scuffed
No, unless it explicitly applies stacks of brittle like onslaught
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

Man, I keep feeling something is off when i use the kantrael slow firing version
laspistol
like there's some kind of lag or desync where my shots ghost
kantrael mk10 laspistol is horrible
I feel like Rending strikes bonus should be a lil bigger
Yeah I just don't click with it.
like I was unloading the MK10 laspistol at someone point blank
and only like half the shots registered or something
It used to be prior to patch 14
15%
back to rolling more II's
I'm so mad, my Zealot rolled a perfect II
but my veteran can't

shared inventory when?!

Whaaa. Why they nerf it?
for some reason fatshark hates rending, nerfed ogryn rending to the ground too
Elite 15 overall deals more damage already, and brittle from onslaught benefits the team
In 2 hits
Recons were having too much fun
And by recons I mean the 6d
That seems like a recon problem and not a skill problem
It's generally a good pickup for laspistols but you'd need to put two points in that row for deadshot
They have high finesse values
And are accurate
precision strikes is necessary on almost all builds
Here's a simple starter
Assuming you want voc
And survivalist
excellent, thank you
I can skip Take it Down, right?
trying to decide between the rending one from crabwalking or boss damage lol
Take it down is which one?
Bring it down, and you could take it if you want
It's better than straight up unyielding
Because it affects crushers too
oh true
The 5% crit node is also an option
I think I'll take that over the rending at 10 stacks one
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
if im not going mid keystone i'd put points in reciprocity and desperado for a more well rounded build and more crit
Rending works on maniac/flak/carapace/unyielding
is it the "downgrade" mechanic
And rending works by adjusting the ADM of your weapon to that type
where they drop to a lower tier
No, that's only for fotf
ahhh ok
I don't think u need shock trooper since u already play survivalist
get superiority complex instead
yeah that's another one maybe
From my experience with the laspistol, I'd recommend shocktrooper still
Its ammo pool isn't nearly as deep as ilas
rending strikes is not the most impactful node for laspistol
survivalist nerf hit hard man :<
I'll just roll more laspitols and see what I get lol
So ADM's are your percentages you see here
And rending adjusts those linearly until you hit 100%
ahhh ok, yes, I remember now
Of course, whether it changes your breakpoints depends
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
got it
if u take it for boss dmg, might as well take ogryn dmg instead
meanwhile, my ranged gun drops on psyker:
if only this wasn't a mk10
@junior needle I brought back ur requested talent ratings in guide
yeah, this one's stuck on my zealot lol
(also psyker) 
I like the mk10 but only on a weapon specialist build with agile engagement. It feels nice to swap to it and 1 shotting some priority targets like a laser deagle
marksman's focus rending subnode should be 11/10 
Why would you use it over Zarona, other than for fun
Oh yeah, is reciprocity still scuffed for ranged?
Zarona I sleep and I have a full magazine
yes
the only unique case is for power sword, where only energized cleave values are shown
Also with the mk10 I can skip on a point that goes towards reloading the zarona
because nobody rly cares abt un-energized power sword cleave values
Fair enough
Unenergized power sword might as well not be a real weapon
I find it so silly. Like why have a weapon that only makes sense to use when energized
it deals emotional damage
Because energized is so powerful, so it's setup. The only time I'll consider a power sword w/o PC4 is over a bricked combat axe w/o BM
Yeah I mean from a game design perspective
this section also has its own hyperlink in the talent tree
The existence of that weapon is just silly
Fatshork makes a lot of questionable design decisions
Must be something in the tap water
At least force swords don't feel as gimped unenergized
Enhanced Target Priority has niche value for pairing with Counterfire and a CD stim to annoy your team by making entire rooms of shooters glow for no reason
giving your team the tv netflix filter
it's just testing them to see if they'll still notice the trapper sneaking up on them by jingling keys in their face
alternatively
Force swords are meant to be a functional weapon outside of the active
An artist I follow just discovered the Legion wear skirts...they have been making some really weak depicted Legion art.
I like fighting the Legion and I love Boone so this sounds funny to me
I kill Vulpes in Nipton on every playthrough and then spend the rest of the game dealing with Legion hit squads
Infinite money glitch. Piss off slavers, they send goons to die and be looted
I'm down bad for Arcade
Do weakspots and crits have some adm ignore now?
No, it’s just that a single weakspot crit from mk2 Laspistol hits for like 900 dmg on flamer
You don’t gain much from taking rending
In terms of practical ttk
There are so many good companions in FNV and I'd romance like half of them if it were at all possible
I'll romance Hallowette if she gives me a discount on cosmetic slop
fisto my beloved
Does the mk4 ilg fire fast enough to justify onslaught as a talent pick?
what do you guys recc for the 1a ILG
No fucking way
5 rps
assume the position
No
Not really a factor on anything except a crusher
the MG1a*
Ghost + headhunter
Flak + maniac
Real. Wish I could've romanced Joshua so instead I just cosplay as him
any skills?
On the other hand: bear and the bull.
ghost is best taken with deadshot/dnd
Are u playing a sharpshooter build or a hybrid build
Ghost is fine on its own
im glad i fucking murdered ulysses that mf Y A P P E D
It’s so u don’t need to take ET to tank stalkers & shotgunners
1 blessing to save 2 talent points
sharpie build but i really just magdump the mg1a
Deadshot/dnd shenanigans are really good on lasguns
If ur just gonna magdump then prob no deadshot
Precision strikes + determined + fully loaded + superiority complex
i aim for heads but also magdump
Get rending strikes
You will get stam back from any dodge with ghost
Best leveraged with stam curios
You can try both out
my build is a little silly
Take precision strikes
That is very silly
And probably not the +50% suppression node lol
i like the suppression node
It's really bad
What does it do for MG1a
fine fine
my psyker is double shield and brain burst with emp psy, i LOVE silly
i enjoy it :)
Lacerate flesh tearer knife works for me 
i forget what rending even does tbh
armor pen to armor types
ah yes, i do love bonus armor pen
I'd love to do Fallout cosplay but I've never been to any convention where it'd be appropriate to dress up like that other than the last FF14 Fanfest and I dressed up as my in-game character in full White Mage robes for that convention
go the grocery store
I'd be stared at too much if I dress up that much for grocery store visits
honestly? nowadays someone dressed like a fallout char is just a regular npc
I don't like being stared at or seen generally LOL
I mean i went to see a movie in full Joshua cosplay
so stealth suit cosplay
did you also learn the damn, quiet walking nonsense
do you also sneak-walk
But that's also because my bestie works at the movie theater
And he let me in
Full bandages and everything
joshua, put a cap in general gobbledigook over here
Aye aye captain
I have a WW1 1911 from Utah I'm basically Joshua irl
no amount of quiet walking would make me sneaky enough in the outfit I wore to that convention LOL
did you inspect it through the movie
It's just a matter of time until my NCR Ranger armor shows up
No but I did it with my airsoft one at home
I have the animation memorized
I got my ranger armor customized so it better fits my locale
That being near Appalachia. I'm the real 76 Ranger.
Wack
Once my NCR Ranger armor shows up I need to finish my Jäger cosplay
they said it could not be done
I bought a Helldivers 2 helmet from a cosplay artist on Etsy just as a funny thing to put on my computer desk and if it's good I want to get an NCR helmet from the guy too
Yeah I'm just literally him
they said it was designed for tanks
It's at the bottom of my bio for a reason
THEY SAID I COULD NOT MAKE IT SMALLER OR MORE ACCURATE
are you gonna bring back the acog 
nope
I don't think I'll do a full NCR Ranger cosplay but if I ever go to a Fallout convention it could be fun to dress up as an NCR Trooper and quote "Patroling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter" at people over and over
I'm a red dot supremacist
We can be NCR besties
we won't go quietly
The Legion can count on that
I have a clip of me clubbing Lanius to death with Oh Baby!

If you meet me irl you'll know it is me because I'm the only one wearing a clown nose with the cosplay
Pfft
holy shit cannibal johnson
Understood
Hm?
all ncr supporters are clowns 
embrace fisto
I like NCR for the drip. NCR Rangers are just too sexy. Also I love Boone so it's hard to oppose him when he's so gung-ho for the NCR. I'll literally change my morals to match someone else's if I like them enough
It is either tax or patriarchy
I love taxes so much
Its taxes or slavery
It's so cool how I pay them and people with more money than me don't
I'd have preferred Mr. House ending over NCR ending but like after Elon Musk I can't look at Mr. House the same again LMFAO
House don't smoke weed during interview
i would rather die standing than pay taxes
"Understandable"
House is like actually competent too and had defense technology that was better than the US government powerful enough to stop the majority of nuclear strikes intended for the Vegas Strip so I can kinda still like him but it's hard not to look at him and see Elon Musk
Because the NCR and Desert Rangers merged
But the Desert Rangers were already in Nevada fighting the Legion
Comparing Elon to House is very surface level though
I love the lore of the Desert Rangers showing Nevada could go toe to toe with the Legion and put the boot to the Legionnaires with or without the NCR
Little Rambos each and every one
Mhm
And that's exactly why I bought their armor
Except I'm doing a Black Ranger specifically
At least Mr. House didn't make a dumb ass looking truck
Like for instance: House would never have tried the hyperloop tube
See his opinion on vault
Speaking of NCR, anybody who likes fallout should watch SODAZ's fan videos
I sold him some snowglobes then murdered him
Mr. House said he'd have space travel and colonization. Elon said it too. The weird thing is that I actually believe Mr. House could achieve it in a post-apocalypse scenario, meanwhile Musk is failing to pass rocket certifications and will likely not be able to even attempt a Mars mission until post-December 2025
I also killed off the Khans without a second thought. Never forget Bitter Springs
Technically he only said it to us
I can't wait for Operation Sunburst to finish. That animation is spectacular
Also House has better track record 
I would die for Gummigoo
lol, anytime
with how much he accomplished I'm willing to believe him
Vegas only exists by his effort
His only mistake was not considering Benny would be more trouble than he was worth
Swank my beloved
I doubt House would buy X (formerly Twitter)
I choose Anarchy btw. Wildcard ending. I just have to worry about Yes Man doing an update to make himself more "assertive" on the implication he could go SkyNet on Nevada
Doubt
Right?! The Rangers are here now in the latest. Can't wait to see them in action
Once my NCR cosplay shows up and I fix my Jager cosplay, it'll be time to do something I have been waiting to do for a long time
Make my Krieg Honor Guard cosplay
I love how SODAZ portrays both the NCR and Brotherhood of Steel as competent fighters. They're each using tactics and weaponry to fight each other. It's not just a band of idiots getting mowed down like 90% of gunfights in movies/shows.
Father Elijah being a shithead in the background
I'd do an Elysian cosplay in a heartbeat if I thought I could wear it at a Warhammer 40k convention without people being weird
I must be out of the loop what's weird about Elysians
Leadership being incompetent is a problem for the NCR too. It's ok. The talking heads being the problem is lore accurate LMFAO
wear and jump onto a police officer from the second floor 
Nothing is weird about the Elysians but I don't trust a convention full of Warhammer fans like I'd trust a convention full of FF14 fans
Very different communities
I love the Elysians but being around 40k fans would make me nervous LOL
TALKING HEADS?
I LOVE DAVID BYRNE
THINK TANK BIG MOUNTAIN STYLE
idk what that is
you're my brain and i'm your body. it was meant to be, baby!
Theres a very small overlap between 40k and Ffxiv fans
yeah it's people like me LOL
Older band
And it's usually just me among my friend group >_>
I've got a friend group of like 11 people and out of that 10 of us are into FF14, but only 5 of us are into 40k
If you know about Corey Laddo's Gman shitpost animations then you've heard once in a lifetime
Most of my friends are into ffxiv and anime or 40k
OH THOSE GUYS
Yeah that's Talking Heads
Oh there's my best friend, he does both too but
He's not good at shooters. Prefers dawn of war
Shovel go bonk, brain is happy
I have an alarm set every Friday night at 9:30 that plays the music
Yes. Lallafell
Oh hey it's me
I'm confident enough in myself to claim that I'm a pretty radical dude
I'm trying to get my static into darktide too lmao
This is like, 60 percent of the community
The closer final fantasy gets to 40 the bigger of a group there will be lol
Every release that comes out is slower than the previous though
Remember when you would get 3 releases per generation
I knew a guy who unironically had the anarchist cookbook saved to his laptop and he thought it was so funny and made him super quirky
Instead it just put him on a watch list
Dumbass
they're at 16 now unless new ones released without me noticing
Tbh it's existence is a kind of curiosity in itself
Final Fantasy 40k
I hope the NSA agent assigned to watch me likes how funny I am
He also wore Adidas tracksuits and Ushankas thinking he'd be cool by acting Russian and insulting people in Russian
Get me Cloud with a chain buster sword
He wasn't.
afaik I haven't done anything to be on any lists but who knows
It's the kind of thing it'd be fun to have on a bookshelf but I can see it attracting knobheads mostly lol
That's valid
The tism stare
OK I have got to watch this show
Who care about the NSA... My profile is probably on every adds line on the planet by now
Kinger my beloved
I loved hazbin hotel and it seems to have a lot of overlap
Cool art
If only I could be as cool as Kinger is
@midnight totem hey since you like FF14
