I think creature spawner is nice just for practice

manstopper on kickback would be realllllly funny

coral willow
#

tbh hellbore 3 is fine

#

just ignore the special thing

somber axle
#

Surgical + Manstopper would be HILARIOUS

midnight totem
#

See that line of crushers?

#

I want it gone

somber axle
#

I don't need Weight of Fire if my single shot wipes the entire lined up squad of gunners walking through a spawn door

#

LMFAO

coral willow
somber axle
#

Crushers too ohmygosh

tall torrent
#

1v6 crusher is useful practice

#

I think most useful practice are 1v1 chaos spawn and 1v6 scab rager tho

hearty panther
#

make a helbore mkiv. it can't shoot but it has two bayonets.

coral willow
#

just please give a hellbore to zealot

#

i dont care if its gonna be mk3 i will use it even for the memes

midnight totem
#

No

somber axle
# coral willow "worse plasma"

If Helbore Mk III had Manstopper it'd be an objectively better version of Plasma in my eyes. Slower fire rate but infinite ammo. Have you seen a Surgical Helbore with Shocktrooper? They just never stop shooting. Ever.

I'm down to lose weight

#

I go to the gym anyway

hearty panther
#

that's fine weight of fire is really just filler

coral willow
#

but on mk2 probably take infernus lmfao

somber axle
#

Helbore's biggest sin is the blessings are all kinda eh other than Surgical

#

Weight of Fire is the best compared to any of the other blessings

#

there's not really any competition

hearty panther
#

if they gave us basically any other blessings WoF would immediately come off for me

somber axle
#

the other Helbore blessings are just not worth grabbing

coral willow
#

i take infernus if they give infernus

midnight totem
#

Really at some point a helbore is a spear with a lasgun on it

hearty panther
#

it has infernus but it is not good for helbore

coral willow
#

also still no respite still the only ever damage blessing the spear part gets

somber axle
#

I usually love Infernus but not for Helbores. Helbores are designed for killing a target in 1-3 shots. You're either insta-killing a target or Infernus isn't getting to max stacks to tick for much damage on anything other than a Burgle, Plogryn, Chaos Spawn, Daemonhost or Traitor Captain

#

Even a Mk II can get more use out of Weight of Fire than Infernus IV imo

midnight totem
#

If infernus worked on bayonet stabs

coral willow
#

idk why but i hit my dopamine when i see my eneies fell with a firey shot

FLAMING BAYONET MEMES

oh god dammit

if Infernus worked on bayonet stabs it would be hilarious LOL

coral willow

flaming bayonet would be real funnny

I'd take it just because it's goofy

coral willow

i'd use that constantly

#

and beg for it to be on zealot

#

I think I did the revolver reload speed finally

#

and I think it bugged out because like

#

my computer stuttered

#

LOL

#

but I got it on recording so one sec

midnight totem
#

Clown science too strong

somber axle
#

I recently did a max reload speed build for laspistol with speedload blessing and reload speed perk

#

for what I think is the fastest possible reload in the game

#

I believe now I was in error

#

zarona revolver may be faster

#

the game couldn't even figure out what was happening when I tried to reload LMFAO

shadow aurora
#

Flawless game

somber axle
#

the game was not meant to be pushed to these limits by a clown

#

let me try a computer restart and attempt the test again to make sure it isn't anything on my end

#

maybe then I'll get a smooth recording of revolver with max reload speed

#

it's not actually max reload speed because my zarona only has 78% reload speed, not a perfect 80%

#

there's like a 2% faster difference that might shave off like

#

a frame??

#

maybe

hearty panther
#

yknow thats something they could do for the agrip revo

#

i always thought it silly it got the reload speed mod

#

could just replace that with a different bar

#

ammo perhaps

#

stopping power would be big

shadow aurora
#

Now that im thinking, what would the next revolver reload likeloregryn

Lose it

Still need to be there for demo stockpile anyway and that helps offput the ammo loss

how godo is low prof

somber axle

both bolt action and lever action are both very fun reloads too

I hope we get either of those

a bolt action rifle or lever action rifle would be neat

shadow aurora
#

On the topic of guns, yall ever think we'll get a minigun for og or vet?

hearty panther
somber axle
coral willow
somber axle
#

I don't know guns very well so I don't know the difference between the stubbers and a minigun

shadow aurora
#

The only issue is is that when i search up minigun 40k the only reference i can find is for space marines

gilded rock
shadow aurora
#

So i dont know if theyd let us have it

coral willow
hearty panther
#

the extra charge is to taste

#

reasonable downside, good upside, not at all necessary, tactical awareness still does all the heavy lifting in the end

shadow aurora
#

So now we just need to pester them on the forums

somber axle
coral willow
somber axle
#

the only reason I know anything at all about guns is because I've played Fallout, Medal of Honour, Battlefield and Project Zomboid

#

I've never touched a gun irl

somber axle
#

my knowledge is exclusively from video games and I don't think any of it is accurate LOL

coral willow
# somber axle both

minigun uses multi-barrels, but they dont fire them all out at once
basically everytime it fires it changes to the next barrel so that the barrel wouldnt overheat as quick

somber axle
#

Ah ok that makes sense

hearty panther
#

you aggro precisely only what you attack

coral willow
#

hm.

hearty panther
#

so not getting attacked at all is much better than 50% damage reduction

coral willow
somber axle
#

ok I finally got it

#

if it embeds LOL

somber axle
#

just going to send the video file instead because the link is broken and idk why

coral willow
# somber axle Ah ok that makes sense

so firing mechanism is only 1, but the barrel spins in front of it to make the barrel not overheat
twin-linked, or putting the gun next to another gun, basically doubles the firing mechanism

#

there are certain autocannons that use each barrel's gas pressure to chamber the other barrel

#

but most of the time its just strap 2 guns next to eachother

I dont think are rejects collect there empty mags

somber axle

it will be harder to send the empty magazines back to be fed again after a fight if they're broken and dented from smashing into a heretic's helmet and skull at light speed

Too much to carry through the mission

coral willow
somber axle
shadow aurora
#

You collect more ammo as you go through the mission

hearty panther
#

i leave my mags behind so that they can be reclaimed by the environment so that future strike teams can harvest the bountiful crop of bullet trees i have left for them

somber axle
#

I know the rejects scavenge ammo but I like to imagine lasguns just never really run dry and just need time to cool down

#

I had to google it just now but like

#

50,000 shots??

#

there's no way you're running through THAT many lasgun shots LOL

shadow aurora
#

Las mags can recharge via the sun and fire

#

DONT throw them away

and just fire

for autoguns though yeah

tbh just lasgun batteries being exploding into what is a meltabomb level of explosion just by chucking a fully charged mag at somebody

Thats last resort

if the mechanicus didnt kill you for sacrificing the machine spirit inside the magazine it'd be pretty useful

somber axle
#

ok

#

Agripina Revolver reload speed test is going to be harder

#

the shots don't penetrate so I have to actually aim LOL

coral willow
#

probably the easiest one to constantly proc is like speedload braced agrapina autogun

hearty panther
#

i want onion rings

somber axle
#

yeah it's literally impossible to get both 5 stack speedload and tactical reload for having shots still left in the gun for reload

#

but tactical reload is +25% reload speed

hearty panther
#

I SAID I WANT ONNY RINGS

somber axle
#

so 4 stack speedload + tactical reload would be the fastest possible for agripina revolver

hearty panther
#

why am i not being fed by hand whilst i lounge upon my chaise

#

this universe sucks

somber axle
#

my S.O. is coming to Vegas soon and I kinda want to do that for them now LOL

maybe not onion rings but like

for real for real. for real for real.

somber axle
#

ok recorded the agripina revolver reload speed clown science at last

#

did it with both 4 stack speedload + tactical reload and a seperate test for 5 stack speedload

coral willow
#

go record agrapina braced

#

deathspitter speedload and both reload talents

somber axle

this test actually did use a maxed out 80% reload speed agripina revolver too

yknow whats probably sad about longlas/boltaction, like it has even less room for variants making its blessing farm atrocious

last parcel
#

i probably should've found a consistent starting point but fuck science

coral willow
coral willow
#

i actually use 2 reload talents and a deathspitter/firefrenzy agrapina braced

#

its really fast

somber axle
#

like the first is getting more benefit but will never be faster than the second

#

even with max benefit

#

if you get 50% off the 2 sec reload you've just matched the 1 sec reload

coral willow
#

not if you can get 100% reload isnt it?

somber axle
#

while getting 50% reload off 1 sec is dropping it down to 0.5 sec

somber axle
coral willow
#

special kill 30%, rounds in mag 25%, speedload 50%

Reassuringly Accurate to Dum Dum
Ranged Critical Hit Damage to Elite or Maniac

#

I'm personally not a fan of Ghost but Numbers Cat swears by it so I recommend you keep it

#

You can just ignore squads of shotgunners in front of you if you can keep clicking heads

#

if you're doing a Deadshot build with Duck and Dive, Ghost DOES proc Duck and Dive to restore stam for more Deadshot while firing

#

so it has value there

#

even if you're not doing Deadshot/Duck and Dive it still helps immensely for being able to ignore enemy fire while shooting

does the plasma gun not explody anymore?

somber axle

they should have left that in

removing the HP damage on vent was already enough

fervent quiver

damn the technopriests and their insistence on making stuff safer

somber axle

and with how the meta revolves around spamming uncharged shots it'd be so funny to see plasma vets exploding every match

they need to give us an older plasmagun varient

dreamy spade

tacit sonnet

tacit sonnet
#

ok

somber axle
#

Melee classes are in the frontline fighting elites and more often meet the gunner squads first

Ranged classes are in the backline but keep getting caught by random horde spawns sneaking in behind

So the melee player is wondering why the ranged player isn't taking care of the ranged elites

And the ranged player is wondering why the melee player has run off to let them fight the horde solo

Bonus points for mixed horde

Which blitz, aura, ability & keystone are u using

For this build

I guess I start with the penances related to the right part of the three

#

infiltrate

somber axle
# tacit sonnet all of them

Start running Krak on any and every build early and throw them at any armour to get it out of the way while farming others

#

Smoke grenade penance is comparatively easy to do and doesn't take long

tacit sonnet
#

There are penances with other blitz abilities

I'll do all of them, but I still want a working build to play with

Blitz, aura, keystone?

dreamy spade
somber axle
#

OH ALSO

#

for smoke grenade penance

#

remember that you can suppress groaners

#

but NOT poxwalkers

#

this works for infiltrate penance too

#

stinky maggot zombies can't be suppressed for the penance

#

but the slightly more alive humans that scream "HELP ME!" as they swing weapons at you do

#

very easy to get both done just stealthing into crowds and dropping smoke at your feet

tacit sonnet
somber axle
#

just make sure the horde is wearing clothes when you do

#

if they have t shirts they're good

#

if they're playing the skins side of shirts vs skins then no infiltrate or smokes

tacit sonnet
dreamy spade
#

The first left is amazing for revolver

#

I use middle of toughness regen too

tacit sonnet
#

ok, they are pretty bad

#

is grenade tinkerer ever good with smokes? 30 second smoke grenades sounds pretty good

somber axle
#

it is very good with grenade tinkerer

#

the uptime gets crazy

#

but for just general penance farming it's unnecessary

#

with grenade tinkerer and demolitions stockpile you can get 2 minutes and 30 seconds of constant smoke in one location

tacit sonnet
#

wait, that means if I get demo stockpile, I get a grenade while the second one is still up

somber axle
#

yes

dreamy spade
#

I think smokes should do the opposite of poxgas to make them viable

tacit sonnet
#

I thought smokes are really good

#

They make you immune to ranged fire for 15/30 seconds

dreamy spade

Not really

No

You get that much crit chance for one shot per stack

It becomes redundant past 3

tacit sonnet

what

#

I don't understand

junior needle

Because you will have 99% crit chance from ws alone

shadow aurora

Going above 100% doesnt do anything

junior needle

Yep

shadow aurora
#

Not like wf no orange and red crits unfortunately

Most useful on revolver and plasma

#

Weapons with quick swaps and instant target obliterations

#

The primary benefit is the melee/dodge boost

orchid hemlock
#

what counts as "armoured"?

hearty panther
#

does it have arms?

umbral garnet
#

Carapace, flak.

orchid hemlock
#

what is the fastest way to do this penance?

umbral garnet
#

There is not fast way.

orchid hemlock
#

just go full grenade capacity?

umbral garnet
#

Unless you wanna grind out melee only malestroms.

somber axle
#

that last match was so weird

umbral garnet
#

With like 50 crushers and maulers at any given time.

somber axle
#

Reapers, Crushers, Bulwarks, Maulers, Flak Ragers
this also includes Scab Bruisers and Dreg Bruisers

#

keep in mind that Krak grenades ALWAYS get a tracking magnetism toward carapace

#

so if you try to throw it into a crowd of flak ragers but there's a mauler in the back and the arc of the throw goes high

junior needle
somber axle
#

it will suddenly dart into the Mauler's head

junior needle
#

But capacity also helps

orchid hemlock
#

im rdy

umbral garnet
#

Twinned might help.

somber axle
#

alternatively just throw it at anything that looks like it is wearing armour

#

I forgot to add it to the list but

#

Reapers count too

#

oh wait

#

no I didn't forget

I forgot that I remembered

do you want to be an absolute bastard?

if you're ok with that

#

grab field improvisation

#

hoard the first ammo crate you see

somber axle
#

ammo crates will now restore grenades to full

#

take all 4 hits off that ammo crate and know the entire group will hate you

#

but you will have 3 kraks + 12 more kraks

#

from full grenade reserve and hitting the ammo crate every time you run out of kraks

#

a reminder that your group will hate you for this

north raptor
#

you wont have the targets to make that work

but yes they will hate u

somber axle
#

anyway that last match was so weird because in a team of 3 Vets, 1 Psyker

somehow gunner squads were a problem LMFAO

It was a very niche tech I enjoyed to make it somewhat useful

north raptor
#

it does make enemies all orange tho

somber axle
#

It's mostly just for the funny visual effect on a Kantrael Mk IV tbh

#

I have one with Ghost and Between the Eyes just because I wanted to actually feel how the weapon performs vs a Headhunter/Deadly Accurate variant and like BtE might be a skill issue on my part but once gunners start their volley it becomes very tricky to maintain the suppression

#

so this version will at least do slightly better damage than the Ghost/Between the Eyes version

#

even if that slightly is hardly noticeable

#

other than setting things on fire

#

they should allow Infernus stacks to cap at 16 instead

hearty panther
#

i do ghost/da for mine

#

i was also doing bte/ghost for a while but honestly

#

the node is just better, obviously

#

and it frees up the slot

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

Reciprocity is my headhunter

#

and id never ditch ghost

somber axle
#

Yeah I'd rather have the blessing slot open vs the 1 free talent point from not taking suppression immunity tbh

hearty panther
#

thing takes way too long to kill a reaper

#

but i can take all the time i want with ghost

#

your boolets do not even tickle me

#

zey do nothing!

north raptor
#

do you actually… kill thingz?

#

like random specials and shit

hearty panther
#

all the time. i love murder.

north raptor
#

id love to take ghost but i feel like lasgun struggles so much witbout headshots all the time

#

like im@forced for the weakspit modifiers

hearty panther
#

well thats cause you kinda are

north raptor
#

but you arent

#

youre running ghost

hearty panther
#

the difference in BTK/TTK in body vs. headshotting just a scab stalker

#

is like 10 vs. 2

#

(bullets)

north raptor
#

i know

hearty panther
#

there's plenty of damage in the gun already

north raptor
#

so what is it with ghost

hearty panther
#

not per shot but in volume

#

oh, because even if you gigajuice the gun

#

for supposed maximum DPS

#

you will still be standing in place

#

for up to four seconds

#

plinking at one or two gunners

junior needle
#

Ghost is survivability + deadshot/dnd shenanigans if you opt for it

hearty panther
#

with ghost you dont have to give a shit

#

just land that headshot

north raptor
#

do they still die in 1-2?

hearty panther
#

it makes getting the kill easier than just what a raw damage boost would provide

#

with marksman focus i was occasionally getting two shot kills in gunners

north raptor
#

oof

hearty panther
#

but three was more common, and seven or eight was also possible

tall torrent
north raptor
#

i know

#

ffs i just want a sense if ttk running ghost

tall torrent
#

On MG4 it’s 2~3 shots to kill gunners in the head

hearty panther
#

still slow, is the answer, really

tall torrent
#

Usually

hearty panther
#

but it's safe

#

which makes it faster

tall torrent
#

DA is still 2~3

#

Because MG4 just doesn’t have the best dmg scaling

#

I just don’t think DA is that relevant for infantry Lasguns personally

hearty panther
#

nothing else to put on it -shrug-

junior needle
hearty panther
#

wish it had dumdum

#

on psyker i do no respite for Smite shenanigans

tall torrent
#

HH + Ghost is what I’d go with

junior needle
#

Probably not going to happen on a gun with inverted falloff

#

Unless they just do a redesign of the line

hearty panther
#

well the one time i had recording of MGIV with HH i noticed it spent 90% of the match stacking 1-2 times before being consumed

junior needle
#

Which I would be for

somber axle
#

Headhunter + Infernus clownPog

hearty panther
#

so that really turned me off of it

junior needle
#

20-40% crit chance

#

is gud

hearty panther
#

cause running just infernus also showed me that the effective crit rate is about the same, one every three-five shots

#

with obvious unlucky periods

tall torrent
#

Huh

hearty panther
#

but it didnt wow me anymore

tall torrent
#

I mean, u’d pick headhunter for better crit consistency across a whole game

hearty panther
#

like i would take surgical instead, if i could. actually now that i say that i wouldnt lmao

tall torrent
#

It’s not a reliable “force crit at this exact moment” blessing

hearty panther
#

yea but thats my bias

#

on a slower weapon i get it but you just mash left click and results happen eventually

#

and a crit isnt strong enough to make a dramatic difference on TTK ... unless you have DA

#

but again, i refuse to pass up ghost

tall torrent
#

Just go ghost + BTE then ig

hearty panther
#

that just goes back to where i was before

tall torrent
#

Zero reliance on talents

hearty panther
#

node immunity is much better

#

always up

tall torrent
#

Hm

somber axle
#

but like no one wants to run Exe Stance

hearty panther
#

and makes getting that headshot so much easier

junior needle
#

Because it suggs

somber axle
#

I'm clearing gunner squads much faster than you even if you manage to get all your headshots perfectly

junior needle

The ability suggs KEKW_ogryn

I think with exe stance + marksman + MF + superiority + rending you could?

north raptor
#

he’s making a clip i bet

tall torrent
#

But that’s a pretty insane level of investment to reach those breakpoints

north raptor
#

does anyone use MF for anything

hearty panther
#

to finish the penance

north raptor
#

yea…

hearty panther
#

yea

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

i will say. i did not hate it after a while.

somber axle

No I didn't need the rending LMFAO

also embedding is extra weird today on discord

lemme send the video instead of the link

somber axle

#

Ok now

#

Take Killzone off

somber axle
tall torrent
#

And see if u can still hit this breakpoint

#

Or, how many MF stacks it takes

somber axle
#

I can juice this way harder

#

I can start testing to see the exact number of stacks to get 1HKO territory though

tall torrent
somber axle
#

CLOWN SCIENCE BEFORE WORK

#

I have some time

hearty panther
#

stop juicing yourself in public

somber axle
#

you should see my Helbore build

#

it's sillier than this

tall torrent
somber axle
#

why should I put anymore points into melee when I don't need them?

hearty panther
#

nobody approaches the clown nose

somber axle
#

yeah I can get the 10% melee node and the 5% melee node

#

ok but like why would I want them

#

if they're not for a breakpoint?

#

Desperado gives me 2HKO Knife on my Recon build with Exe Stance

#

against Crushers

tall torrent
#

Test it without Killzone

#

And see how many MF stacks u need

junior needle
somber axle
#

ok lemme swap the points around

hearty panther

i know for me personally i need an EXCEPTIONAL self-justification to not build on Agile Engagement

completely ridiculous node

vet has some super strong nodes that I think are mandatory for myself but opinions arent uniform there, at least not in the way it is with zealot and TWBS

somber axle
#

This isn't even 15 stack or rending, no For the Emperor, no Fire Team, no Close Quarters Kill Zone

#

Numbers Cat I appreciate your guide

#

but I can juice this so much harder

#

and I don't even need to

tall torrent
somber axle
#

but you are right

umbral scaffold
#

am i insane or does vet have way more nodes than like zealot

somber axle
#

without Kill Zone it ends up back in 2HKO territory even at 10 stack MF

#

however if I grab 15 stack

#

back to 1HKO

#

like it's not a hard breakpoint

hearty panther
somber axle
#

LOL

hearty panther
#

theyre just all at the bottom

#

so it looks very busy

umbral scaffold
#

icic

tall torrent
somber axle
#

you have to actively ignore ranged damage when running Exe Stance Kantrael Mk IV if you want to go under 1HKO territory

tall torrent
#

I just don’t like relying on specific MF stack requirements for important breakpoints

hearty panther
#

i agree with that

somber axle
hearty panther
#

ghost made it super easy to just stand in one spot

#

and plink at mfers

somber axle
#

plus it fires fast enough that just spray head height at a horde gets you max stacks fast

somber axle

#

EH….

tall torrent

kill a poxwalker with a headshot every 6 seconds

and it stays

LOL

tall torrent
#

@hearty panther wdyt

somber axle
#

Ideally I want to start at 1HKO breakpoint and then Marksman's Focus stacks just build to make boss DPS crazy

hearty panther
#

whats wdyt

#

i dont understand u kids

what do you think

umbral scaffold

what do you think?

tall torrent
somber axle
#

could you imagine if I had Deadly Accurate in this test too?

#

LOL

umbral scaffold
#

i was right lfg

hearty panther
#

let me get my reading spectacles

#

and my reading chair

somber axle
#

but anyway Marksman's Focus stacks are much easier to hold after the update

umbral scaffold
#

i have my reading spectacles on all the time

somber axle
#

like 3 seconds on headshot grace period?

#

you can move and shoot

#

and still keep stacks

#

I do it all the time with laspistol

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

the crux for me is

somber axle
#

plus I like pushing the impossible

#

I do the silly things no one thinks is worth trying because of the clown costume

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

is the # of stacks i have on average, more or less damage than agile engagement giving me 25% in either category for roughly 75% of a round

somber axle
#

one sec

hearty panther
#

and generally the answer is no

somber axle
#

I have 10 minutes before I leave for work

#

I can get this

#

I am the TANK

umbral scaffold
#

@somber axle nice pronounce HappyFlowerCatDance

tall torrent
#

I think my ratings are generally accurate

somber axle
#

Yeah! That's the one

#

I forgor I already shared it thanks

#

I'd like to see a Sniper try me

#

put the laser pointer on me

#

I'm a cat

#

I will catch it

#

in my teeth

tall torrent
somber axle
#

I need to test it but idk how unless I download the monster spawner for Psykanium and I don't have the time to do that since I leave for work in 6 minutes

tall torrent
somber axle
tall torrent
#

Yea but that requires u to use an ability

#

The point is to be able to tank it without using ability

somber axle
#

That's fair

#

I could swap another sprint efficiency to sniper resist

#

but I am sad at losing the sprint efficiency

tall torrent
#

If u have 3x 20% sniper resist, iron will and both 5% + 10% TDR node, you need 266.56+ toughness

#

This is without close order drill

somber axle
#

are you sure the math doesn't work out that 274 toughness still tanks it even with only 1 sniper perk

#

I need to test it in a match to see

tall torrent
somber axle
#

yeah but idk how all the TDR nodes all interact since Close Damage is so weird

tall torrent
#

1225 x(0.8^3) x0.5 x0.85 = 266.56

somber axle
#

are they all additive? multiplicative? some are one and others are the opposite?

tall torrent
#

All multiplicative

#

Except the 5% & 10% TDR nodes

somber axle
#

that's a relief

#

I've developed trust issues with how anything is written in tooltips in this game LOL

somber axle
hearty panther
#

oh i get it now

#

i couldn't understand the colors and shit

tall torrent
#

It’s color coded as the actual talents

somber axle
#

even if they're more conditional

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

i think you should reformat it, and not just because im dumb

somber axle
#

because I thought I was actually going mad earlier

hearty panther
#

but because there should be more talents that are 'always good to take'

somber axle
#

I distinctly remember eating a sniper shot and taking no damage

hearty panther
#

i think qualifying them in this way is trying to make a tier list more than it is guiding a pathway

#

cause thats all our tree is

#

if you were making a left side tree, which ones would you absolutely take, which do you skip

#

with as few points spent

somber axle
tall torrent
#

That’s the intention

somber axle
#

I went out of my way to get extra single bit of non-Voice of Command tankiness I could find

tall torrent
#

With a bit more nuance in it

somber axle
#

gold toughness is easy mode

#

literally just pop VoC and eat a sniper shot even if you're running all stam curios

#

I want to find the goofy way to doing that

hearty panther
#

idk talents are hard to capture the value of

#

cause the route you take also dictates a lot

tall torrent
#

The route u take is because u want some specific talents tho

hearty panther
#

survivalist is a must pick unless youre coming down from smoke grenade and now it costs three, yknow

#

but i guess thats always the trouble

#

condensing all that info

snow cypress
#

HI guys,why it is said that Surprise attack is bad if you can combine it with other talents to considerably increase the damage

somber axle
tall torrent
north raptor
somber axle
tall torrent
north raptor
#

thanks numbers cat

somber axle
#

the tl;dr of that is

#

damage is a dump stat

tall torrent
oblique totem
#

Damage dump stat?

tall torrent
oblique totem
#

What tomfoolery are you lot up to in here?

tall torrent
#

It’s actually the least important stat for breakpoints

snow cypress
#

So...do you mean that it is better dealing more base damage rather than dealing more damage through the ability?

hearty panther
#

thats kinda true too but this format sort of strips that context, but like, what would even be the best format

#

cause i think in the end it's like

#

you have to describe every talent by itself lol

#

and im a lazy man at heart

#

and i wouldnt do that

#

fuck that

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

oh

#

i see

tall torrent
#

It looks like this

junior needle
# oblique totem Damage dump stat?

Not a dump stat but can be less important than common sense would make it seem, due to damage values in this game being a scale between two arbitrary numbers

hearty panther
#

then i just wouldnt even have the rating lel, let others figure it out

#

but i defer again to my laziness

tall torrent
oblique totem
#

Insanity

hearty panther
#

its true

junior needle
#

So true

snow cypress
#

I guess "For the Emperor!" follows the same rule

hearty panther
#

people also dont experiment but in the end its a question of your audience

oblique totem
#

I'm absolutely illiterate.

hearty panther
#

i read the super technical guides, like the one that broke down suppression and melee/ranged aggro ranges on shooters

#

most would rather die

#

opinion is not unwelcome but hard numbers is what i want

#

and like, information that the game isnt presenting

#

thats always nice to get

tall torrent
#

I’m not going as deep into specific numbers regarding those

#

I did check player-side suppression again

umbral scaffold
#

what is suppression, asking in regards to one of the gun blessings that gives suppression immunity

junior needle
#

Suppression is when things fire at you and your aim gets wobbly

#

That's suppression on players

tall torrent
#

Laspistol and Helbore don’t have suppression immunity, they just don’t get impacted much by suppression in the first place

umbral scaffold
#

ty

tall torrent
#

I can record what Laspistol under suppression looks like

junior needle
#

Suppression on enemies is when they get spooked and start running for cover

snow cypress
#

A friend told me a combination of Agile Engagement + Surprise attack + For the Emperor + Desperado,and it increases the damage,however idk the viability of it. What's your opinion about it?

junior needle
#

Only happens on ranged enemies like shooters, gunners, and reapers. Groaners are technically suppressible but barely affected.

tall torrent
#

It is a lot of extra dmg but this depends on ur weapons & build intention

snow cypress
#

with knife

#

and stealth,ig an agressive one

tall torrent
#

Well, I don’t think knife hits major new breakpoints from dmg juice

snow cypress
#

I mean,as far as I'm concerned it could only be done when you're in sigile

#

However you are not always in that state

#

So idk what to think about it

#

I mean for numbers is true it's a huge damage increasement

#

And killing big guys or rager by one hit is my passion

north raptor
#

i hate the suppression immunity talent i keep having to take ;_;

snow cypress
#

This build would be combined with superiority complex and Bring it down

tall torrent
snow cypress
tall torrent
#

Which means that a lot of the extra dmg talents u are considering don’t actually make u reliably kill things faster

snow cypress
tall torrent
#

For a 5s duration that seems unnecessary

snow cypress
#

But it's true...

#

It's so few

hearty panther
#

the answer to all these things

#

is to punch things in the Psykhanium

snow cypress
#

I'll check it

somber axle
#

Weird question time Numbers Cat

#

What if I forsake 2 of my sprint efficiency nodes to go all in on triple sniper resist

#

With max efficiency close quarters drill and hunter's resolve how much damage would a sniper shot do

#

Idk what the formula is to calculate this or I would try to do the math in the 12 minutes I have before work

tall torrent
#

If u have every form of TDR available + 3x 20% sniper resist

1225 x(0.8^3) x0.5 x0.5 x0.67 x0.85 ≈ 89.3 toughness dmg

somber axle
#

Perfect

#

I want to go into Sniper Gauntlet and purposely eat sniper shots to scare other players

#

If they ask how I will just say "Cadia stands"

#

Like imagine a new player seeing me get shot over and over by the sniper and take no HP damage asking how I'm ok

hearty panther
#

a noble pursuit

somber axle
#

And clown mode time: "The Emperor protects."

snow cypress
#

It's almost the same

#

2 hits

#

And with no ability 2-3 hits(if I fail one hit on weakspot 4)

snow cypress
tall torrent
#

Knife aims for 2 hit ragers

snow cypress
#

I did that with the combination of talents i said before

somber axle
#

You can 1HKO Crushers with Knife and I can do so on a build with my Recon Mk VId and Executioner's Stance

#

But like
