spoilers for Shadowbringers for anyone here who hasn't gotten that far
LOL
New beneg? Fuck yeah
Haha
I know some graha fans who'd murder me for sharing that with them
Immadoit
I love G'raha
I have a plushie of him on my desk
I still thought that was hilarious LOL
Random question was Tidus a Final Fantasy character or am I stupid
he is yes
Ok cool
Cause when I was talking about Demon's Souls yesterday I remembered the video where someone put his laugh over the Tower Knight theme
18 minutes of pure paranoia later, first For The Emperor 3 achieved! Also only leaves a handful of easy penances left for me to have all Vet Pens done!
CONGRATS!
That is adorable
welcome to the COOL helmet club
Also congrats!
Got tapped once or twice with full toughness, but yeah I was panic firing so much into hordes and like checking behind me every other second lmao
You have now acquired more drip you will never use
Basically just have the Marksman Focus and Krak grenade penances, along with doing 27 more missions and I'll have Vet done
insert lawbringer essay here
lmao, or do the crab stance
AD MORTEM INIMICUS
Oh wrong lawbringer my bad
Krak one is pretty quick if you play on Auric. Especially during Only Melee, mostly scab.
Yeah, the main thing was I didn't know the normal scab enemies also counted so I was mainly saving my Kraks for Crushers/Ogryns and Monsters
you ever let the controller rumble on your balls while doing the neck execution
DID SOMEONE SAY LAWBREAKER MEMES??
No.
yeah just get scattershot/manstopper and you're good
you can run any ability you want, any grenade you want, any melee you want
God I am so glad I got Overwatch/untouchable done. I was fully expecting to be stuck on it for ages
I use the impaler because I used to watch Cartoonz play FH and his main was LB with the impaler execution and Flying Lys wings
So I also got the Flying Lys wings lmao
mk VI powersword or the MK XIIIg chainsword
usually, power sword
I'd personally go Chainsword but I know most would prefer the Power Sword. XIIIg is just good for horde clear. Power Sword can do horde clear effectively and still chews through Carapace
revved up chainsword makes for a good back massage
the top rated veteran build says to use the chainsword tho
which is important because you're never going to be able to run to reach any of them
mobility is the only problem
can u send what that build looks like
can u send a link to it
savage sweep chad
the guy who made is clueless about weapon breakpoints
and has an incomplete understanding of veteran's talent tree
rending strikes is basically never relevant for plasma
what do u reccomend instead
doesn't change chainsword breakpoints either
Mk13g chainsword only rly has 2 build options
u go either wrath + rampage, or wrath + shred
mk13g doesn't have enough cleave to activate rampage on its own most of the time
Chainsword is actually a decent pair with plasma but I would suggest the mk4 over 13
If you do go 13
Do wrath, not savage sweep
Savage sweep is for the mk4
Also elite+flak/maniac for plasma, not whatever they wrote there
you can take marksman over rending strikes for that juicy boss damage
the guy who wrote that seems clueless about breakpoints in general
I wouldn't trust most builds out there
Target Down and Redirect Fire are good for Plasma
I wouldn't take 8 stack on Plasma though
Unnecessary
Real
Yeah but I love Target Down for the stam/toughness restore to both myself and the squad as a powerful support tool
optional but still terrific
Is flak necessary for Plasma? I didn't think it hit any breakpoints
Ask path/numbercat, I run elite/maniac, I just am parroting what he said for flak
Maulers bodyshots I think
I always took Manic + Unyielding. Now I'm going to have to rethink my perks for Plasma
The only reason to prefer one perk over another is if it is helping you hit an important breakpoint. If it isn't, the extra damage is pretty much just fluff
Which of the three combat abilities are the most fitting for an elysian drop trooper? I'm thinking Infiltrate but I'm not sure
Do you have Power Cycler IV and Brutal Momentum or Sunder on your Power Sword?
It's a slow weapon but it absolutely empties entire waves with a couple swings here and there
Oh ok you're leveling
yeah don't worry
Power sword needs pcycler blessing at least to be good
Don't bother with it until you are lvl 30
no power cycler Power Sword absolutely is mid
I'd probably say low tier
not even mid
no power cycler and it's just bad
Ya it's pretty bad with only 1 charged swing
flak gives scab gunner 1 bodyshot, scab rager 1 headshot (with agile), mauler 3 bodyshot (2 if 1 crit), and dreg rager 1 chest shot (with agile)
maniac gives u both flamer 1 bodyshot (with agile)
and less talent requirement for dreg rager 1 headshot
I think flak gives more for what it's worth
If you're level 19
i feel like ragers aren't a big deal since they get put on the ground from a shot
Highly suggest you just get a half decent chainsword
and headshot vs rager isn't most consistent
Level up, learn melee from there
yeah
chainsword/plasma cover their weaknesses while leveling well
Chainsword can't touch Crushers but Plasma melts them
Unless you make a specific chainsword build
yeah but while leveling (especially for a first time Vet with no blessings) it's not an option
It's always an option
Atp they should just make the blessing base kit because of how mandatory it is
you are at the mercy of whatever you get
that would make Power Sword become much, much sillier by freeing up a blessing slot
Ah yes, today I will equip my negative 4 dodge limit melee weapon without the only thing that makes it good
suddenly you could take both BM and Sunder if Power Sword gets 3 charged strikes baseline
They can tune other blessings to compensate but I agree
Maybe it should stay where it is though since it's been such a pain for them to balance forever now
HELP i must escape my power sword but i cant roll a shovelllll
it was baseline at launch 
and power cycler let you swing like 6 times
maybe give it a recharging battery with a meter and you hold down the button to get powered swings with no animation
the discussion we need to have is for them to delete brutal momentum and just make combat axes' base attacks have BM's function but have limited targets depending on the attack
Besides the obvious, are there any other exceptional firearms the Vet can utilize?
laspistol mk2, infantry lasgun mg1a and mg4, all 3 infantry autoguns, vraks 3 and 7 headhunter, plasma, zarona revolver, agripinaa braced autogun, all 3 helbore lasguns
Yes
Even Shredder Autopistols can be made into funny weapons for Auric Damnation
LOL
Time to go home and kill (more) heretics
what should i do instead for it
post the gif 
since ur lv19, I think u can run mk4 chainsword + infantry autogun for levelling up
both are pretty easy to play and do well enough for ur current lvl
no for the skill tree
im lvl 19 so i got everything unlocked
even discord doesnt believe your talent tree
weapons wise
alr thanks
ok so youre stacking the hell out of ability use, right?
if you swap Duck and Dive into Close Quarters Kill Zone you can make it even funnier
stacking the hell out of damage
GLASS CLOWN CANNON
as I always do
urs or sneaky cats
added talent rating for talent tree section in guide (WIP)
I'm not even using +Carapace perk on the autopistol either
I should swap that over to see how funny it gets
aren't u lv19?
yeah
witchcraft
don't do what I do while you're leveling/learning the game
oh alr
u don't have all 30 points to play his build
anyone can warn you that what I do is not normal or safe
@somber axle wdyt
but i'll do the other one
I'm all for meme builds but their build is a meme, js
Too bad soldier 69 isn't here to write 3 paragraph in response to it
are there even any good ones on there
gameslantern?
ye
I wouldn't trust any build on there lol
psyker is sorta different because psyker can legitimately bypass entire game mechanics to an extent

veteran actually has to engage with most of the mechanics in this game
-laughs in gold toughness-

I'm surprised Fully Loaded isn't in the Great category tbh especially after Surv Aura nerfs. Are there any builds that don't benefit from +25% ammo?
I 100% agree with putting Deadshot in Niche. It's one of my fav abilities but it will CRIPPLE people if they use it incorrectly. They need to practice with it and learn how it feels per weapon and have stam curios to offset the drain for some of the higher fire rate weapons too.
I think it's called Chink in their Armour and not Crack in their Armour though but I'd have to check to be sure
most, not all
it is
it's in "good" but not "great" because most builds take is as a very nice bonus on the way to superiority complex
if u don't take superiority, chances are u won't take fully loaded
and yes the game calls it chink
I'm avoiding legal troubles here

I'm surprised you put Smoke Grenades into Good instead of Niche because that's the one grenade that requires a Vet to do at least a tiny bit of thinking for using it instead of just chucking it at enemies when they're in trouble
OH I FORGOT THE SLUR
I think of it as:
Is there any build that would take fully loaded without going to superiority complex?
it's very simple, throw at ur own feet like ninja
I'm half asian and I've never heard it
I swear the grenade penances are so picky when it comes to what counts as an enemy affected by it. Mainly when I was doing the Smoke grenade and Immolation grenade ones
I do it sometimes but I am a clown so rational people may not agree with the things I do
chink in one's armor is a common idiom i don't think anybody's gonna give you grief over it 
Well, even if you do sometimes, you have to admit
Snake grenades don't take any real effort to use

Toss it on yourself, toss it on your enemy, all work
Most go to superiority or just stop at precision
Toss on enemy does not work
Really?
I go past Fully Loaded and take Shock Trooper without Superiority Complex on my original Recon build but for funny clown science numbers build forsaking all utility/defense in favour of just raw damage I take Superiority Complex with a Recon too
I mean I could've swore it worked
Does this look like it's working to you
Even then! You took it to get to shock trooper in that case
I think it's difficult to justify it alone is all
they'll still shoot in a straight line to where they last saw you
Lame
and if they get LoS on you again they switch their firing back onto you
it's not a LoS problem
smoke exists entirely for the concealment effect
which needs u to be inside smoke
Let me try that but I think in general it's better to just throw it on yourself
it's a buff for you not a debuff on the enemy
yeah it is better in general to be in the cloud
but it should also keep shooters firing in a straight line if a smoke cloud is between you and them
if I could spawn enemies that would shoot me in the Psykanium I would test this to verify it
but I'm almost completely certain the cloud acts like an invisible wall
4th smoke buff in a row let's go 
Nurgle infection 
Only one thing to do now. I commend your soul to the Emperor
oh that's bad
do you have the Recon Mk co VId
Covid?
yeah
the fly boys and fly girls have my heart in a way no other regiment could ever hope to reach
lol
i dont think its covid
but who knows
my SO and I both got it and he tested negative wsith a 2 month expired test
:^)
I got hit by COVID-19000 a week ago
still recovering

I like stories of Guardsmen fighting Chaos Marines
I got covid after I had started exercising post-break up
my body was sore after exercising
covid made the body aches SO MUCH WORSE
Oof
probably the worst pain in my life second only to when I broke my leg because the pain was so intense I couldn't even think
do not do what I do
not breaking your leg is usually solid advice
listen I was a child and wanted to beat my sibling in a ballerina spin off competition on a recently mopped floor while wearing socks
as it turns out wet floor + socks is fantastic for momentum
but terrible for stopping that momentum
spin on one leg
put down other leg to try to stop (because spins ONLY counted if you could land it)
second leg stopped
body and first leg continued rotato
Physics
and then my leg was in a cast and I became a potato
spiral fracture right up my shin bone!
I've only ever broken things that belonged to other people
I've sprained my ankle a lot but I was a very uncoordinated child that only became a semi-coordinated adult
did it come with a gift receipt
everything is pretty easy
return it
well it came with a prescription for oxycotin
and that took over my life for a while
I caught it from roommates 2 months ago, and I got hit with lasting effects that still haven't gone away. Wishing you the best in recovering
I'm weirdly blessed. Either I caught covid and never knew about it
Or everybody else around me did but I never did
Probably the former
it's weird how it has such a different effect on people
pain was the only major problem I had
no trouble breathing or anything
I don't think my taste was even changed much at all
I only really knew it was covid from the positive test and the awful pain
clown taste is too powerful 
ok so
throwing it at them is still no good, they track you no matter what
inbetween works though
I forgot smoke existed until I rolled up a vet
I saw it used a few times when it was introduced then never again lmfao
Yeah I didn't lose taste but got saddled with respiratory problems, severe exhaustion and short term memory issues that won't go away
ripper mk6 moment
It's weird that inbetween works but directly on them doesn't
I wonder how the interaction with the cloud works to allow one but not the other?
I'm built different
I'm built incorrectly
Is it possible to make a good melee oriented build with vet?
hahahahaha yes
absolutely
What are we mad about today?
generally any build going right side will have strong melee abilities
infiltrate or voice of command as an ability
Both weapons seem like a very weird choice to me
I do like accatran though
At least it is fun to use
but taxe both not good and not fun to use
pretty much all of vet's melee weapons can work, top weapons are, knife, power sword, chainsword, chainaxe, shovel
What about smoke grenades?
KNIFE?!?!
I do love chaxe after it got reworked
Combat Knife is arguably one of the strongest melee weapons in the game
combat knife gives you the zoomies
both of them, but mk6 has an edge in horde
Sir
Rashad
Would like to have a word

Fine, YES. Rashad combat axe
yes one sec
top 3 would be knife, ugly ass looking rashad combat axe, power sword
ugly ass looking axe
knife can kill a Crusher in under a second
it has crazy mobility
it can do ok horde clear (honestly pretty bad compared to most other melee weapons)
knife is really good for cutting down priority targets and moving into position or moving out of position
I love knife for the speed to run down alleys and halls while the team is pushing forward
I know I can loot plasteel, ammo, stims, etc. and then catch up to the team no problem
something like Power Sword? I'd never divert if a team was hard pushing forward
Rashad is not ugly 
and the other one?
Was it buffed?
Function over form

hollw?
anime pfp, opinion discarded
xD
yes, i just saw same vidoe above, question is what allows it to do so
you need Desperado from the talent tree
it's not as crazy as the video suggests
depending on the knife you'll also want both melee damage nodes too
if you run Mercy Killer you also need to run Serrated Blade
which u need to dodge out of
there's a talent point tax to making Knives 3HKO Crushers
so practically speaking it's not that much faster than rashad
but it's definitely worth it for a melee Vet build imo
so was knife buffed?
no
Because i remember wasting lots of resources on it
knife has always been strong
and trhen i got massively dissapointed
just use Infiltrate + Low Profile and stab everything lightning fast rogue style while your team dodges
Also 99% of knifers i seen were trash
the moment u hit smth, that enemy will not be affected by low profile
and will start targeting u
Is knife 6 strictly superior to another one/
Yes
Also yes
Most people don’t know how to play the game
Knife users are either
Cracked tf out and just shitting on everything
Or running ahead and dying to a single speshul after aggroing 300 ambient enemies
Back when the talent tree got reworked yeah it was REAL bad but now I rarely see shitty knife users
Generally speaking, knife vet does more single target dmg than knife zealot
However, knife zealot has better horde clear than knife vet
I mostly see average between the two
They run ahead, never being touched
while the rest get overwhelmed
i meant zealots, yes
i also saw psyker knifers
Vet just has better dmg in general
what makes it so?
Never have I seen this, I'm scared
Knife zealot needs precog + duellist up to hit similar ttk as knife veteran
Knife veteran just has super consistent TTK without crits against everything
But what gives that additional damage
More damage talents on the tree
Superiority complex, bring it down, melee dmg nodes, weakspot & finesse dmg nodes
Unironically about half of knife zealot’s dmg is from duellist
zealot is a burst dps class
Max uncanny + max sustained assault hits for like
Half the dmg as knife veteran with max uncanny

Veteran with Rashad also hits higher dmg than zealot with Rashad
unless martyr
yeah but the wind up on crusher attacks is so slow that if you kill in under 1 sec and the enemy isn't aggro'd on you for the first strike they're dead before they get a chance to ever hit you
I’m not talking about the overhead
Crusher has a much faster sweeping attack
Does the suppression effect also cause light stagger
Which u cannot stagger with knife
you can still strike while dodging too
Like a surprise animation
just more effort
Not super consistently because knife has short range
anyway TTK is comparable regardless because when you reach that level of speed reducing it by fractions of a second becomes increasingly negligible
It’s probably shorter range than crusher’s sweep range
Practically speaking knife ttk is not that much faster than Rashad or power sword
Can't find those quickly, what re the first two?
Power Sword can literally be built to 1HKO
I don't think Rashad can but I've not been lucky to get one so
I can't test that clown science
Power sword is usually built for 2 hit combo
15% elite dmg (left side)
20% ogryn & monster dmg (middle)
Yes, but also
Power sword can’t stagger crusher
That's why you do flesh tearer 2 tap 
Alright, this discussion made vet 169% more interesting to me
Practically speaking they’re all pretty similar
gotta sleep now, but going to test it all out tomorrow
I have a guide I can send u
tbh I don't really place a lot of value on crusher stagger to begin with
Sure
they're slow, incredibly predictable
and if you want crusher stagger drop a bleed nade
You may want to stagger them during hordes
god, that fps
Keeping an enemy stunlocked while u kill them (still pretty fast) is a lot safer than killing them in 1 less hit but having no stagger at all
It’s more useful vs groups of them
Yeah which is why I love collateral on lasguns. Keep Ragers pinned while you shoot them down
But Ragers are fast
Crushers are slow
a man adfter midnight
were recon lasguns buffed?
no
How many brain cells do u have rn to read a 70+ page guide
at best they fixed a "bug" that shock trooper was not properly applying on follow up shots from crit strings
not now, tomorrow
so only the first shot was free
That is big ,no?
but a Recon Lasgun can actually stagger a Rager
I would strongly suggest you practice fighting multiple crushers in melee with different weapons
I find them hard to track with but that's just because of the iron sights
The stagger makes a very noticeable difference
I do, I play often and fight crusher squads daily
I make crusher killing my life's passion
I hunt them for sport
dm
I just love how recon lasguns feel
also are they not supposed to be actually better lasguns
I made the Chainsword XIIIg into a Crusher killing weapon
Like elite ksarkin troops use them
No
I have experimented with clown science in funny ways
How did you stack bleed like 30 times
They're very fun but unless you run a particular build they are useless against Crushers and struggle against Flak/Maniac
I didnt
which is a big problem since that's all of the worst threats
Uncanny(rending) affects bleed dmg
all lasguns are useless against crushers
Yeah, the crit goes hard
No
in fac,t all vet's ranged weapons except plasma and hellbore
which at max ammo with 80% ammo stat
has 800 ammo in reserve
and 108 ammo per clip
Any automatic gun + onslaught
this was pre-Azrael chat where he taught me how close range damage works
I can now do up to 3.4k DPS
watch the ammo counter
only 5 ammo spent
KEEP IN MIND THOUGH
this is done with a silly build
you will not want to do what I do
Also revolvers, headhunters, agri shotty
I do what I do because I am a clown and I take anything I want where ever I want
I do this in Aurics
All can shoot at cara
you will probably not enjoy what I do in Aurics
So how it works?
Rending per hit on the right tree
So how that works, what allows you to do that damage
Onslaught
I don't mind as long as you can stay alive for three seconds and not quit the game when you take too much damage
stack rending & brittleness and turbo point tax ur build to the point where your build is completely dysfunctional outside of the gun
lmao
I can show you the build but be warned
how do you stack rending, with what?
Doesn't matter, killed crusher
Yes
you lack a lot of survivability
you can play the rest of the game like a bot

They are the same thing

Give me one sec to pull up the talent tree
For me veteran is so hard to play without exhilarating+kill confirmed
Brittleness is just an enemy debuff while rending is a player buff
what are those
ops, wrong reply
was asking chris
They work the exact same way mechanically though
Exhilarating takedown gives you toughness damage resistance and 15% toughness back on headshots
It stacks
This one
shoot three dudes in the head and you're taking 30% less toughness damage
The "many lines slicing through distressed person " talent
Not 30% less
Does that help
Exhilarating takedown is x0.9 per stack, multiplicative
Send me in dm the build @somber axle
First I need to share the weapon because the DPS varies immensely based on blessings, perks and damage stat
It’s actually a total of 27.1% less
Not additive to 30%
x(0.9^3) = x0.729 = x(1-0.271)
that's fine
that quadrant of talents on the top left
But u rly shouldn’t need more than confirmed kill for toughness regen
is such a dead zone to me lol. everything but longshot
I take volley adept on agri shotty
I usually build a vet load out for shooting lots of shooters
Good for chaining special reloads
if I don't have ghost it helps a lot
Which gun
Cuz I think ghost is just a must take personally
i much rather tech through reloads than ever waste a talent point on reload speed
My Kantrael lasgun has falter so I can stagger some enemies better
Falter is unfortunately horrible
Is there tech for shotgun reloads
I don't take the reload speed unless I'm building something for a bolter or musket
So how closer ranged damafe actually works?
U can ads to skip the pump animation
It also helps with shotguns
shoot qq special reload qq as soon as the count ups
O I already do the ads thing
It’s explained in the link I sent u
By the way exhilarating takedown with lawbringer is super goofy
did you post the full disclaimer yet
Alright
I'll try the qq though
in their DMs yes
LOL
I think this is the 30th time I've ever shared the build
The clown army spreads
When you buy the figures and paint them (no idea)
this isnt zealot chat
Psykers are the most trans, and Ogryns are the most nonbinary
I remember those days too
i am very down for a double barrel
My hunter lance with melta or frag tip idea was not well received
nah i want the o.g double barrel
They mentioned a double barrel shotgun and pickaxes too yeah?
"We don't have horses. We don't have horses". Such sheep. We don't need horses
I want a Power Fist
A Longlas
A Hellgun
A grenade launcher would be fun too
We've got Plasma and Boltgun so heavy weapons are not off the table
Melta is on that list
I'd love a longlas
I'd give it revolver ish stats, with worse mobility, higher reserve ammo and magazine capacity, worse handling, scope when ads, inaccurate when hipfired
ogryn force halberd 
I knew ogryns were psykers
Didn't know that Tzeentch could do that 🤔
So theoretically is any weapon viable? Because I have the overwhelming urge to make a kriegsman with a hand cannon and a shovel
anton sokolov made this lock
Ayyyy!
yes
if you define viability as "can clear everything" then nothing is so bad that its likterally unplayable
revolver and shovel is a p solid combo anyways
Let Zealouts have meltas. It fits more with their flamer-ey business they rock anyway.
Also it would allow me to stop using thammer in games with randoms because I can't trust them to be able to kill carapace enemies.
Zealots with grenade launchers
embrace knife
Finally rolled this! Too bad the stopping power is kinda low, but it'll have to do for now.
Question, what counts as elite enemies?
Yeah I'm going to put dumdum on it
And what are specialists in that case
I've got that lying around, just haven't put it on yet
Lol, im still waking up, dont mind me
I kinda just shoot shit indiscriminately
Thankies from mcspankies
specialists are the ones that have sound cues
and have special attacks (like trapping, or throwing a bomb, etc)
elites are just fatter normal mobs basically
they just hit or shoot harder
Gunners, shotgunners, ragers
I already have a smattering of Plasma guns like this lol, just running laspistol for fun
Got it, thanky thanky
Yeah I was listening to something and just got my wires crossed. halfway through my first coffee
Been wondering what it meant for a while so I usually just ignored the perks and killed things en masse
No worries LOL, I thought you were making a meme about how I should just run plasma gun
😂
dum dum and ghost is pretty pog on the mk10, infernus or ghost for the mk2
dum dum is the good stuff
Yeah I'm trying to get Dumdum/Ghost flak/maniac or crit or something
Best one I've rolled so far
but wish infernus was dumdum
Still pretty solid roll, but yeah dumdum would be ✨
yeah
Infernus would be a lot better if it just ignited on weak spot hit instead of crits.
I'm so mad, my Zealot rolled a perfect one
yeah lol
my freaking zealot rolled a perfect one
but can't bring it over
pls obese megladon, let me transfer this
My zealot rolled a perfect Rashad about 4 months before I could find one on my vet, it was so frustrating
I think the laspistol has pretty bad damage vs maniac so you could argue its good, but it probs wont make the BP for headshotting tox flamers and ragers that much better, so I think you could argue for elite instead
LOL i know that feel
yeah maybe
there's also this one, but the crit damage hurts
Or you could meme with the burn and be a boss killer with unyeilding
true lol
I might just do that
with the ghost/infernus one
might as well since it has infernus on it
what's the range on Dumdum, 15 meters?
I think it's 8 and diminishing up to 30
Yeah it's just a good damage boost at most distances you'll use it
yeah lol
the game keeps giving me +carapace and +groaner damage on my pistols
pls
Yeah nothing like +25% carapace on a weapon that does 2.7% damage to carapace
i have a mk X with flak/maniac ghost/dumdum, but I really don't like using the mk X, the hits on it seem to not register when i hit things
I keep getting good rolled guns on my Psycher, its like...I'd rather have got nothing at all lol
bro that might be the difference between LIFE AND DEATH
i know that feel speckman lol
It hurts a bit if you go sniper on the mk10, so you could go ghost and infernus, infernus ticks will often kill things you cant quite finish and with ghost as long as you can hit heads reg you are immune to ranged as laspistol has built in suppresion immunity
true lol
I have problems using the mk10 honestly, I don't know why
it just doesn't "feel" like I'm hitting things, like there's some ghosting going on
because its worse than the mk2
at least in most ppl's opinion
Its more like the deagle
mkx has wonky BPs so it could just be that
Is the mk10 worse than the mk2 for all classes or just the vet
its just worse
The mk2 is like a smg
yeah
DAMMIT MELK, POWER CYCLER 1 AGAIN
rip
The mk10 slaps way harder per shot
There's a PC4 in my melk shop right now.....i'm sorry speckman
"In other news on the Mourningstar, Melk has been found dead with 20 stab wounds in the back. Ruled a suicide due to chaos corruption"
What site is that?
It's the Armory Exchange addon for your browser
they're gonna turn melk into a servitor and find out it doesn't change how he acts at all
I just know that I'll finally get PC4, then when they do the itemization rework they'll make an easier way of getting it
I'm REAALLY hoping they'll give melk a blessing shop that you pay for using diamantine. Like 1k for a T4, etc. Like give us something to do with diamantine AND a way to get blessings that doesn't make you want to stab your eyes out
And this is coming from someone with all the blessings already
yeah
I'd also take being able to upgrade the ones you have
So like you give melk 3 guns with Dumdum 2
t2 of a blessing or something
Just pay diamantine to upgrade it's level
So it doesn't lose value if you already have all blessings and you can just upgrade your guns with resources
Something like that
One time buys and it's done forever is kinda meh
Both, you can upgrade if you have the blessing in your library, and you can buy blessings from melk
I hope they let you dump diamantine into sire melk to get him to wear less and less, like how you upgrade gacha game girls and their art/outfit becomes more horny
Moar tubes
I agree
nah, its 40k, you replace more and more of him with mechanical stuff
So he loses clothing, but becomes a servitor looking nightmare
And so the monkey paw curls
I am sitting on a pile of 72k diamantine. I'm fine using it to turn the crew of the MS into nightmare husks of themselves as long as I can spend it on SOMETHING
I'm only at 8k diamontine
trade in for plush
But I was also horrible when it came to wasting it on weapons that didnt turn out good
You'll always waste more plasteel than diamantine, and thus you can never run out of diamantine
I mean I wasted Plasteel too lmao
Tfw docket bottlenecked
I probably spent 500k plasteel just looking for blessings. Idk it's hard to figure
Everytime I hit 1 mil I go to the brunt gacha machine and lose
I've gotten 2 550s in all my time and ones the achlyss power maul 
I think I've spent less than 250k ordos on the brunt lotto in all my hours
I always just use the armory Exchange to shop camp and pick up EVERYTHING with good stat distributions
Then if I ever want to make a weapon, I usually have several good bases to shove into the Hadron lotto
Perfect 80/80/80/80/60 with 8% groaner damage and T1 sustained fire
God Marksmans focus can suck it
I've literally seen almost exactly this before
But it was back before they "unlocked" crafting
Lame.
What should I build a devils claw with?
Brunt is selling one with savage sweep 3, but I dont know enough about those weapons to make one correctly.
Also it has 8% damage so it's funny to look at.
Its not even sword at that point
Just slab of aluminum with hockey tape in one end
Yeah, it's funny to look at.
Seriously though I don't exactly know what I want on a devils claw or even which model is the best.
depends
the mk1 with the golden handle has two heavy sweeps
its the worst for single target but is efficient at dealing with hordes
the next one (i forgot which i'll check shortly) has the same 3 light attacks, but the second heavy in the chain is an overhead
Mk1, 4, and 7.
that one is the "balanced" option
the last one starts with a heavy overhead then a heavy sweep and has a weird light attack strikedown moveset
its the worst at horde clear i think but people tend to like that one the most
I like savage sweep and shred
shred because the swords all attack really fast
mk4 1st heavy is overhead, 2nd is sweep
I'm gonna be real, I do not know where you're getting these movesets from. The mk1 and 7 have the same light moveset and the mk7 opens with a side swinging heavy, not top.
7 is the weird one with heavy sweep into overhead
I just decided to buy a copy of each to decide which moveset I'm most comfortable with.
like i said i dont know the names of any other than mk1
i just know the movesets since i used them all
i use the mk1 on my veteran because i use single shot weapons mostly and i dont want to fire them into the horde of little dudes bunching up on me
how the hell do you tag a target with focus target?
They will have a yellow outline.
if you have focus target they have a gold outline
How do you forget tagging?
you got the 7's strikedown lights right but paired it with the wrong heavies so idk man
I DONT KNOW
you dont survive the trapper in the mixed horde
It's like the main feature of picking out annoyances in a horde.
are you sure
"Veteran, kill that," ping
im pretty sure thats right
mods, rip his head off, thank you
that's the one with the holes in it
Yes, I have the mk7 in my hand right now. Opener heavy is sideways.
The one with holes is the mk4.
im gonna boot up the game
Mk4 opener is vertical.
then that should be the one with the light attack that is the parry animation
the other two have the same side side strikedown lights
Yes, the 4th light is the parry animation light.
that's this
was i wrong
reporting you to the inquisition for getting weapon marks mixed up, enjoy being a servitor
Mk7 starts with a sideways sweep.
but the mark7 doesn't have a 4th light
I... know..?
Now you're confusing me.
The mk1 and mk7 have the same light strings, the mk4 is the one that has the parry animation mixed in.
the first thing i said was that i'd find the names later
Mk1 has sideways only heavies, mk7 starts side > top, mk4 starts top > side.
all i said was one of them had a heavy overhead then sweep, and a weird light attack moveset
Whatever. Moveset is inconsequential. What matters more is blessings and perks.
I only know that the cheesehole sword is just my favorite but the mk7 have the push stab combo which is cool
That's like watching 2 zealouts argue whether the crucis or ironhelm thammers are better.
They're both a thammer, what does it matter.
Dunno crucis and iron had different damage modifiers vs armor types iirc
In the grand scheme of things I don't think it matters too much.
Moveset definitely matters but for DC sword it’s just different based on preference, mk7 is the more complex one, mk4 is the easier one, both do more or less the same things
one of them has limited power cleave and a lesser powered impact and a varied moveset
Crucis only hits 1 enemy with empowered attack, Ironhelm cleaves until it hits elite/specialist/boss
the other one has a higher powered impact and doesnt cleave and all the lights are strikedowns/heavies are vanguard
they are different
these things do matter
because they do things differently
they're all catachans so they attack fast and have a parry
thats their similarity
one is only good at horde control one does a mix and one leans heavily towards single target
Not rly, 4 and 7 play very similar in practice, just moveset difference with mk7 being more complex
They’re not that much different
This is new information to me. Now I know my hammer is even better. Mine is an ironhelm rolled almost perfectly. Just gotta get headtaker or slaughterer at a high level and it's good to run.
okay im in the psykhanium and i think the mk4 is actually the more mixed moveset
i thought it was the heaviest sword
but that might be the mk7
because of the stab overhead chain
I'm going to pick the mk1 for the sole purpose of shutting my brain off.
They’re very similar in how they play, mk7 is just more complex, that’s all
Now I just need to know the blessings and perks for it.
Mk1 is the worst one tho
Note the "for the sole purpose of turning my brain off."
I'm not planning on running a devils claw in high difficulty gamemodes.
I'll try to pull some fancy stuff and die instantly.
I think I'd rather run the crusher munching sapper shovel.
mk1 is dual sideswipe heavies
probably something like brutal momentum or savage sweep so you can lop off heads
7 has the strikedown light and has the overhead on h2. i'm not saying it's better or anything, just that you mixed up the heavies
https://streamable.com/5jfdci
Then go with mk4
Mk4 is is really simple
Actually, fair.
dclaws don't have brutal momentum
I can swap between L>H for sweeps and H>L for single target.
Reminds me of Kruber's halberd from V2.
The simple days of poking rat ogres to death.
i figured bm was the one blessing i was missing
huh
okay then probably savage sweep and shred
it's Trauma, Savage Sweep, Skullcrusher, Thunderstrike, Rampage, Wrath, Hammerblow, Devastating Strike, Shred, and Vicious Slice
and I'd go savage sweep and rampage but i think that's just preference. I'd be more concerned about getting flak damage as a perk
Really liking the way-keepers chest and legs with the flak helmet for drip.
Thanks for the input.
don't forget to use your parry
i cant check the numbers because i don't have any mods but you can parry crushers and maulers if you time it right
and do non insignificant damage
man i rolled a 60% finesse mk4 and it feels painfully slow
the other ones are high 70s and it feels so different
That sentence right there is what I meant by attempting some fancy stuff and dying instantly.
its not as hard as it seems
wish me luck im bringing an antaxe combat axe into the current auric maelstrom
what should i switch out on haymaker knife vet?
@faint beacon what do u need
Uhhhhh- not much
i already died
Lemme fix my curios rq
There is such a thing as las recon psykers ?
wait
does the fire rate of the Graia Mk IV Braced Autogun increase when you “ads”
or am i tripping
It does
fear us
Okay but top plasteel tho
One of my teammates accidentally aggro'd a host in the middle of a horde event and just said "let me die" and my googoo gaga ass teammates really listened to him until I hit a krak and shout
christ i saw melee scab only so i brought an antaxe axe thinking it was gonna be crusher mauler patrols
no
thousands of scab bruisers
i can only hit one at a time
i brought the absolute worst weapon
Hate bruisers
i would have had better luck with literally any other weapon
every time i play this game type its all crushers
😭
what's new in the next update?
Like 2-3 weapons and a map thats it afaik
⛏️
I wonder if there's any melee weapon for the veteran
2 handed pickaxes for ogryns, cbt maul, boltpistol and double barrel shotgun
and a new map
and w/e the crafting update is gonna entail
the present gaming experience for veteran is kinda boring
I'm excited to see what they're doing with the bolt pistol.
Are they going to place it between the laspistol and revolver in terms of damage per bullet?
That sort of stuff.
power sword is way too strong while other melees drive you crazy in some occasions
Luv chainsword
chainsword is playable
CLASSES COMPLETE. Just gotta collect a few skulls and I'll have some sweet new armor
but I think it's not enough for the gold maelstorm
What should I look for on a columnus infantry autogun?
