Perhaps the trash can.

Is the banana for scale or is it the suggestion?

yes

#

Alrighty then

somber axle
#

Tbh I'd probably just make it a toggle for grims separate to turning off one modifier of choice. So someone can choose whether or not they want to be dropped into grimoire missions or not, and then be able to pick one mission modifier they want to remove from the pool

#

Turning off too many modifiers in quickplay would probably make someone accidentally blacklist all available missions and then sit in quickplay for an hour wondering why the queues are so long suddenly LMFAO

#

Waiting until a map rotates out and puts a mission that they're willing to play in

late hatch
#

I would legit kill for a simple lobby browser like VT2 has

#

Nope, you just have to randomly queue difficulties

#

Whoever made that decision at fat shark should be sent back to preschool

coral willow
#

juat make grims give 2x plasteel/diamantine

somber axle
#

Idk how the Vermintide mission browser is because it's been forever since I played it but like

#

You can choose what mission you want to play

#

Sometimes I want to do Lights Out so I specifically queue for that mission

coral willow
somber axle
#

Quickplay will drop unfortunate souls into my match

coral willow
#

problem in vt2 there wasnt a modifier for maps in quickplay

late hatch
#

You can see how many people are playing what diff and what level. You can choose to join a game or just QP. Which you often needed to choose as if you QP and quit coz there are regards playing in that game, if you requeue it will put you in the exact same game 99/100 times

somber axle
#

Like if you want to do a High Intensity Shock Trooper Gauntlet you can just check the mission map for one and queue specifically for it

I forgor quickplay even gave additional rewards tbh LOL

coral willow
#

so 1k pladteel= +200 more

somber axle
#

Neat burrito

#

I usually just brainlessly hit quickplay unless I'm queueing specifically for a Maelstrom or want to do a certain modifier

#

I do get tired of almost every quickplay dropping me into someone's high intensity hunting grounds

#

Just dogs all day every day sometimes

I hate joining a game and I have <1 wound left

I love it tbh

#

im pretty new at veteran

#

i mean im pretty new at the game lol

somber axle
# south mural thoughs on that build ? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a90b4dc-f331-4...

ranged crit damage is one of the weakest weapon perks in the game so I'd recommend swapping that to flak on the laspistol
slaughterer isn't as useful as sunder or brutal momentum on power sword so you could swap that blessing
rending strikes has niche value on some weapons but unless it's helping you meet a breakpoint on your laspistol I'd recommend dropping rending strikes in favour of getting bring it down instead
catch a breath is also better than get back in the fight for the support/toughness regen you're going for since afaik the regen does apply for born leader
deadshot but no stam curios is a tricky choice but since you're using the slower firing laspistol it miiiight be ok with target down (if you find yourself empty on stam too often I'd recommend swapping out one of the toughness curios for a stam curio and just put +toughness as a perk on the stam curio instead)

#

otherwise I think it's ok but the lack of precision strikes hurts a bit

#

I like doing reassuringly accurate on a laspistol too for my own medic build

south mural
#

thanks for your opinion

somber axle
#

numbers cat might have more thoughts on it as far as what breakpoints the Mk X Laspistol hits and what talents/perks it needs to hit them

#

his old guide recommends flak and unarmoured

#

they're both underlined so they're crucial for important breakpoints but idk which ones

#

probably dreg gunner for the unarmoured one

#

Dum Dum probably has more value on the Mk X than Infernus too tbh

#

I'd take Infernus on a Mk II Laspistol but the close range damage on the Mk X helps it more for the higher damage per shot

coral willow
#

also it has the funny push on psyker which is funny i guess

somber axle
#

close range damage is weird and like (explaining this just in case because I only learned about this within the last couple weeks I think) close range damage is calculated by giving max benefit up at any distance up to 8m and then past 8m it slowly loses value up to 30m where the benefit is lost entirely

#

most engagements are happening within that range so dum dum will more universally help vs infernus which needs to get multiple stacks going before the ticking damage hits a level where it becomes somewhat valuable

coral willow
#

oh damn

#

i thought it was just 8m and poof

#

dumdum is easy to proc as well tbh

somber axle
coral willow
#

ah

somber axle
#

the 2.0 version will be more modern

coral willow
#

near perfect acatran on zealot

somber axle
#

yeah that's pretty fantastic tbh

#

I prefer Infernus over Ghost so that's basically perfect in my eyes

#

Idk if unarmoured helps on any breakpoints with the Mk II though

coral willow
#

funny dreg gunner

somber axle
#

that's true

#

could help with dreg gunners since Zealot doesn't have the ranged juice that Vet does

coral willow
#

and momentum still rocks i guess

#

i have like a 1 gunzealot build and its just using agrapina braced with everything mentioned

somber axle
#

close quarters damage is silly and the tooltip/name is misleading LOL

coral willow
#

god

#

i wanna make a funnty

#

zealot build where i use all pistol weapons on 3 axes

#

except that i cant really use zarona cause throwy knives

#

i mean i can still use it it compliments well but it just gets to ehh

#

time to throw out integrity again

#

welcome to the jungle gun

#

probably one of the best gun i have

somber axle
#

Very nice

#

Holy hole digger

clear lantern
#

but you get 5 builds

coral willow
clear lantern
#

so why would you spec blades of faith for it then

coral willow
#

you know how it works right

#

even with a revolver which has 0 swaptime and basically acts as a piercing throwy knives people still pick blades of faith

#

combo extension, special killing, elite number control, etc

#

even outside guns that take 2 millenia to pull out

#

i get that you'd be better off with something like a fire nade, and yes i'd agree

#

i just like the versatility the blades give you

clear lantern
#

I know how it works, I'm 60/60 in zealot; you were the one complaining about it.

coral willow
#

im just saying it kinda overlaps with the revolver

#

so me going on theme and using 3 pistol variants(laspistol, revolver, and autopistol) kinda doesnt work well

clear lantern
#

then use a grenade

coral willow
clear lantern
#

then take knives and use them for goons who aren't worth a bullet, like snipers

#

or scab gunners

shadow dagger
#

what do i do with this one

oh thats cool

how long did it take u guys for t4 power cycler

The emperor gave me a Power cycler 4 one time

i dont even like the PSword

austere pine
#

okay i know the roll is stupid but like

#

what does cleave targets affect?

#

because this gives me no tangible info

unique orchid
#

legit read the bottom text there

hearty panther
#

thats the actual cleave value for mass

austere pine
#

so in this case it can cleave through HM of 3.66 on lights and 6.6 on heavies

unique orchid
#

basically more cleave = more bodies hit per swing before your swing gets stopped by hordes of heretic flesh

austere pine
#

with my ps4 being able to go though 3.6 and 8 without activation respectively

#

so yes the dclaw is garbage

unique orchid
#

well hey it's got two cleave perks and decent damage otherwise

austere pine
#

i got it from big e drop so no real fucks given

unique orchid
#

it's perhaps not the most amazing CC but it's still serviceable

austere pine
#

just wanted to know if it's worth it trying out to see if i like dclaw 7

unique orchid
#

oh def worth giving a go, but most others will be better with hordes

austere pine
#

because i don't want to base my opinion on a bricked weapon

#

are non-agri shotguns any good?

#

i'm starting to like the vibe but want to branch out a bit

unique orchid
#

they all have their own merit

#

the fire shotgun is amazing CC, lawbringer is the middle ground between

thick kestrel
#

yee, the lawbringer's alt shell is... a little odd and niche? it allows the gun to be blasted into hordes around headheight and do a surprising amount of work, but with shotgun ammo being limited as it is that's more of a luxury use.

it is however just really good at chunking down priority targets quickly with it's standard shots.

#

I think SneakyCat was dabbling around with using the Crit Cleave perk on the lawbringer to do silly things?

austere pine
#

will never engage in shenanigans bigger than a scab shotgunner cosplay

thick kestrel
#

^^

austere pine
#

look at this

#

tell me it doesn't remind you of them

thick kestrel
#

of course a big plus to the shotguns in general is that they work REALLY nicely with the combat specialist node for keeping the melee specialist bonus going

austere pine
#

yup yup

#

doing that and it feels so nice to not have to spend 13 years on reloading

#

thanks to a combo of always prepared and tactical reload

midnight totem
#

Needs a big fucked upped headcrest

austere pine
#

as in you won't look at it or..?

#

FUCK no

midnight totem
#

THEN, it would look like them

thick kestrel
#

revolvers do as well, but then you feel bad about putting revolver shots into pox walkers while a quick switch to a shotgun, blasting something in the face, and then swithing back to the silly attack speed Rashad/Chainsword/Dsword/Powersword you're using just feels delightful.

austere pine
#

does not feel awful at all

#

especially if you win the gamble and shoot the mfking gunner inside of the horde

unique orchid
#

this is why i just use the MG1a inf lasgun with deadshot

#

i magdump at like shoulder level and usually it works

thin stone
#

Hello sussy Veterans

#

Btw isn't the Veteran just an Inferior Zealot atm

hearty panther
#

Interior. Zealot. Alligator.

thick kestrel
#

I really do like the MG1a lasgun... but I really need to fight the urge to spam fire it, it just does so much more work if you take that extra second to aim... but it just loves spaming those lasbolts.

midnight totem
unique orchid
#

you's got a lot of nerve to come right in the barracks and calls us hot shit

thin stone
#

I only play Veteran btw

#

I just feel like Zealots are overall in a much better position than goofy ahh Veteran

austere pine
#

cannot be telling us about how vet sucks compared to zealot if you haven't played zealot

thin stone
unique orchid
thin stone
austere pine
#

and sure zealot has a higher skill ceiling but i swear it's so much better to see a vet join in on a match than it does when a zealot does

unique orchid
#

yeah, and that's the Vet Thing, we're a balance between Psyker and Zeallie in terms of dps and durability

austere pine
#

because a zealot is more than half as likely to fuck off on their own because they have an eviscerator ™️ and then you all die

thick kestrel
#

there certainly feels like there's some crossover between Vet and Zealot more these days than before... but I think there's still enough difference to have them be distinct, Zealots kind of NEED to be in melee 80-90% of the time. the Vet can hang around more in the open and is still the king of priotity target killing.

thin stone
austere pine
#

like, no, you're not getting the invulnerability of zealot or the sheer damage of the psyker but you sure as shit get to brain burst with a gun at the cost of a click and no peril

unique orchid
#

also vets have krak nades and access to both Exe Stance and VoC, we have good abilities to help the team

thin stone
#

Because I cannot count how many times I've saved the ass of public teammates

unique orchid
austere pine
#

that's what is the worst for the other classes

thick kestrel
#

and honestly I find Stealth Vet is a lot more fun than Stealth Zealot... it's more about using the sneaky for positioning compared to the Zealot using it for damage boosts or an alternate closing method.

thin stone
austere pine
#

zealot and psyker absolutely rip to shreds any monstrosity they come across but a vet doesn't do that unless specifically built into it

thin stone
#

And then revive his ass

#

Oh

unique orchid
austere pine
#

but a vet has so many gun perks and a more reliable invis that specialists and elites are very much your thing

vocal cipher
#

Veteran is my anti-ranged and specials class. Throw in kraks for crushers and you got a solid thing to help the team, plus head go pop make my monke brain happy

midnight totem
#

On the other hand though, ever seen multiple vets krak grenades a monstrosity at once?

austere pine
#

get a chain axe (yuck), chain sword or power sword and you also get to deal with carapace

thick kestrel
#

mhmm, Zealots chew up hordes. Veterans tackle specialists and shooters.

midnight totem
#

It's the best

thin stone

austere pine

austere pine

#

I see, then I guess I am not the problem in the team, it's the overly zealous zealot who rushes in and gets his ahh kicked

#

ogryns guard the teams, Psykers use weird shenanigans to do pretty neat shit to augment the squad.

austere pine
#

i love "huggy bomb" though

Oh NVM GTG to LFG Channels

unique orchid
midnight totem
#

I'm at work, sorry

thick kestrel
#

and it sucks because when you get a REALLY good zealot? the one's who know their job of diving down gunner nests, intercepting rager packs and generally oblitterating hordes so you can focus on winning the gunfight and taking out trappers/hounds/flamers?

absolutely karking glorious

thin stone
#

I ABSOLUTELY HATE KNIFE ZEALOTS

austere pine
#

but it does look the part

#

not sure how zealot initially attracts the inting edgelords

thin stone
#

If 100k people hate them? I am one of them.
If 100 people hate them? I am one of them.
If only one person hates them? It's me alone.
If no one hates them? I have died.

unique orchid

Kerillian mains were the edgelords of VT, shade was the edgy high skill-ceiling Keri

thick kestrel

like those ogryns who anchor the whole squad or the psykers who use trauma or voidstrike staves to decimate crusher/mauler patrols in seconds.... every class has those highlight players it's just a joy to run into.

unique orchid

thankfully for most of the other characters it is less confusing

it is not a lie whatsoever

maybe dps wise it's not true anymore but if you don't want to spam to deal with specialists this is great

Can i get some weapon advice pls? Just finally rolled pc iv on power sword. It has :
Maniac %25
Melee weakspot dmg %8
Slaughterer 3
Supercharge 3

Im thinking weakspot for flak and supercharge for power cycler?

somber axle
#

There's more context to it than the numbers show

#

For just panic spamming standard shots the Kanty does better

hearty panther
#

yea like kanty is also the slowest firing shotgun

#

and slowest to reload per shell

somber axle
#

Agripina is bolt action rifle gameplay

#

Kantrael Shotgun special deals with mixed hordes effectively

hearty panther
#

at 15m+ you do less damage with the kantrael than other shotguns

#

cause of the drop off

somber axle
#

That's like the other pro to using the Kantrael over Agripina or Lawbringer

hearty panther
#

its quite severe lol

somber axle
#

I think that's because it has the highest spread pattern of all the shotguns?

#

I vaguely remember seeing the spread patterns in the new guide numbers cat shared

hearty panther
#

no this is on the calculator

#

so it assumes you get max damage

#

which is to say in the best case scenario

#

you will do less damage

somber axle
#

Ah that makes it extra tricky to do damage the further out a target is combined with the spread

hearty panther
#

and in reality you will probably do even less

#

but kantrael is very generous for minimum pellet count

#

since it has so few

#

either way, not a great shotgun

somber axle
#

It's ok because like 2 special shots into a mixed horde lights the poxwalkers and ragers on fire

mortal orbit
somber axle
#

Give it a few seconds and they all burn to death

mortal orbit
#

That roll is godlike gj

hearty panther

that also got nerfed tho

clear lantern

#

Need a plasma shotgun

hearty panther
#

special round doesnt megacleave anymore

somber axle
#

But after trying to search Vet chat for numbers cat pics of the spread patterns on the shotguns all I could find was him saying repeatedly that the spread pattern of the Kantrael is widest of the shotguns and has the trickiest hit reg of as a result so it benefits very little from full bore

#

The pellet spread probably means you need to use it like shotguns in most other games if you want to get value from Full Bore and treat the Kantrael Shotgun more like a melee weapon

#

and that's funny

somber axle
#

I just use whatever is fun and I have more fun playing with the special shots of both othe shotguns for either anti-horde memes with Lawbringer Shotgun Manstopper Scattershot deleting hordes in literally THE most ammo efficient way any ranged weapon the Vet has can do or Agripina Bolt Action sniper gameplay for deleting specials/elites and bullying chaos Ogryns

Heya, everyone!

Quick update: We wanted to let you know that we’ve hit a snag with the latest Commodore’s Vesture update and there will be a delay before it is live. It’s looking like the update will come tomorrow during the day, and we’ll update you if there is any change there.

Thank you for the patience! 🙏

Ever since reading a story of literally just two Harlequins on an attempt at a peace mission fighting their way into and through the Imperial Palace to try to ask the Emperor to act while DANCING and shouting "FRIENDSHIP!" over and over I laugh immensely

#

two of them killed custodes and even despite how many of the custodes tried to stop them, they were barely delayed on their advance and only stopped when they reached the throne room

#

that's HILARIOUS

#

Empire's finest soldiers and technology couldn't stop two clowns who weren't even there trying to kill anyone

not only did the kill multiple custodes but they also did not spawn into the throne room

#

they spawned in the imperial palace

#

and fought their way into the throne room

#

killing custodes along the way and not receiving any injuries until they were at last caught and overwhelmed Darktide style

#

the writers was definitely having a lot of fun LMFAO

tall torrent
#

Yea

tiny summit
# somber axle Yes please

Let the clown nose honk when you get hit. Let teammates who melee you activate it too. Have the hitbox big enough that swiping at ogryn butt activates the honk.

It makes both the custodes and the clowns look completely inept

Brother, slap my ass brother

#

Any Elf diplomat attempting to speak with the Emperor would be shot on sight

#

That's uh

#

A bit too much devils advocate

somber axle
#

they sent in the clowns knowing that the Empire wasn't about to let an Elf even get onto the same planet as the Emperor, much less the throne room of the imperial palace

junior needle
#

There's so, so many other ways to go about that

#

Including just leaving a message

somber axle
#

a message to be laughed at and discarded by Imperial Officials

junior needle
#

Assumption

somber axle
#

they did not care to contact any of the other Imperial leaders

#

if they did

#

they simply would have tried to contact them instead of the Emperor

junior needle
#

They could've left it with the custodes

somber axle
#

to be fair the Custodes opened fired the instant the clowns appeared

#

there wasn't really any chance to leave a message

#

they were attacked and began fighting back

junior needle
#

Are you aware that

#

You can write things down

#

Just write down a message, they know human language

somber axle
#

write down a letter, throw into imperial palace, hope the custodes acknowledge it and share the message with the Emperor

junior needle
#

Throw a letter in

somber axle
#

there are no mail moogles in 40k

#

it's not FF14

junior needle
#

They got right into the imperial palace through the webway

#

They can get out the same way

#

They clearly didn't have an issue not dying while making a run for the golden throne

somber axle
#

plus there's like one guy who likes the Aeldari and I'm not entirely sure he would've been able to deliver the message at this particular time

junior needle
#

Who is the one guy

#

If you say gorillaman

somber axle
#

the guy who gets meme'd about his relationship with a very specific Elf

junior needle
#

Gorillaman doesn't explicitly like the eldar from what I read

#

He mistrusts them

somber axle
#

Yeah that's the equivalent of liking them

junior needle
#

And that's why he's trying to not rely on the armor

somber axle
#

Not shooting them on sight

#

Though there was a really cool quote from one of the Elves to him

#

lemme see if I can find it

junior needle
#

That's not liking at all

somber axle
#

if the one guy who might be able to care to listen to the Elves is at that level

#

you can understand the Elves probably didn't consider it worth attempting to send more legitimate diplomats

#

LOL

junior needle
#

That's because the eldar are notoriously duplicitous

somber axle
#

the plan, at least as far as trying to make any sense of this, was to get them close enough to reach out specifically and psychically to the Emperor to deliver a warning

#

it did not matter the cost

#

bought in the blood of custodes or clowns

#

the message needed to be delivered

#

and it was

junior needle
#

Wasn't emps not even capable of actually controlling the imperium

somber axle
#

at that time no LOL

#

but the Elves didn't know that

#

All they knew was that the Empire needed to figure their shit out

#

or the whole galaxy was going to suffer for it

junior needle
#

They should've gone to Magnus instead of fulgrim

#

Who had a daemon sword

#

The space elves are not very smart

somber axle
#

the whole scenario feels like it plays off of the ignorance of both sides tbh

junior needle
#

It's an idiot plot

somber axle
#

a very funny plot LOL

junior needle
#

There is a term for it

tawny badger
#

who will win
human(?) mutated to the point of having a physique similar to an ogryn hopped up on god knows how many stimulants vs guy with digging tool

somber axle
#

the term is canon

#

and it's very funny

#

it reads like fanfiction but this is legitimate writing for the universe

#

and tbh I think the implications are kinda terrifying for humanity

#

that they are so fragile even their best super soldiers second only to the Primarchs are beaten by a pair of Elves in clown costumes

#

it shows that the Elves, despite such a fall from grace, have a massive edge as far as skill, experience, tactics, technology, speed, etc.

#

that humanity for all its power was so fragile that the Elves could have simply teleported a bomb into the capital and destroyed the whole palace without anyone the wiser

#

the implications of it all make it feel so much darker

tawny badger
#

the implication is elves rule humies drool

somber axle
#

that the Elves could have and probably would have destroyed the seat of humanity if pressed to do so, but there are much bigger problems

#

even a fallen race could break humanity without much effort

#

the loss of Tera and the Emperor would destroy the Empire

#

the short story is goofy

#

but the ability just to teleport in leaves so much crazy potential

Hi guys does this talent activate Born leader?

junior needle
#

It should, but born leader is really low value as a talent

late hatch
flint lake
#

It’s a bad talent

tall torrent
#

BL scales from ur total toughness

flint lake
#

Gloryhunter is good

#

Born Leader is bad

late hatch
#

I disagree.

tall torrent
#

Gloryhunter + BL actually sends a decent amount of toughness with elite kills

late hatch
#

Sharing extra toughness to your team mates can make a very noticable diff

flint lake
#

BL only restores toughness based on the toughness gained by the player. If you’re at full toughness, the benefits of Born Leader don’t activate

tall torrent
#

It’s any toughness you would gain from non-coherency source

#

Used to not activate when you’re at full toughness, and didn’t scale from total toughness

Both have been changed

flint lake
#

So what is that then? 35% on kill with a little more over time? And BL grants 10% of that so 3.5% to all teamates in coherency.

#

Seems kinda lame

tall torrent
#

35% on any elite kill (25% + 10% from CK)

#

Let’s say you have 160 toughness (very easy to achieve regardless of build)

#

That’s 8.4 toughness immediately to all 3 teammates in coherency with u

#

But you’re not going to kill only 1 elite

#

It’s a small amount that adds up over a match and helps keep ur teammates’ toughness as close to 100% as possible, as much as possible

#

Kill 3 shotgunners, that’s 24+

#

Zealot has maybe 160 toughness on a toughness build

#

You gave him 15% by playing normally

#

And then the CK over time effects kick in

#

CK has no stack cap

#

It just adds up over time

flint lake
#

Depends on how much damage your teammates are also taking

It’s usually just a safety net for teammates

# snow cypress This is also a good talent

Not really. Shooting into a melee is generally redundant. Your teammates should already be doing just fine fighting in melee. Best way to use it though is to play a hybrid melee oriented build that regularly swaps weapons to activate the buff.

orchid hemlock
#

So the chances of you shooting a target that is near an ally is basically null

flint lake

Thing about Vet is the class is primarily designed to kill elites

flint lake

Best to minimize the time spent fighting hoards to focus on that primary objective

snow cypress
flint lake
#

Crushers are real ez to handle as a plasma vet

coral willow
snow cypress
#

So that's what I'm saying

flint lake
#

Just pop them in the head and they tumble over

orchid hemlock
#

OK but you know what is better than waiting for them to come into melle?

snow cypress
orchid hemlock
#

Shooting them before they get close to your team

snow cypress
#

At least in most of my gameplays

orchid hemlock
#

It's a bad node, I honestly tried it

#

It's not consistent

flint lake
#

Probably suboptimal but if that’s fun for you go for it

orchid hemlock
#

And the amount of toughness it gives is not nearly as good as other nodes

flint lake
#

Rather keep as much distance as I can from crushers

snow cypress
#

to allies

orchid hemlock
#

And has no synergy with born leader

flint lake
#

Ez enough to dodge but 1 good over head is an instant down

snow cypress
#

But born leader gives a low percentage of the toughness

orchid hemlock
snow cypress
#

Man,instead of giving 15% it would give 17,25% not a big change

orchid hemlock
#

And it stacks with focus

#

And out for blood

#

And the plasma blessing

flint lake
#

Exhilarating takedown has the best synergy with BL

orchid hemlock
#

And confirmed kill

flint lake
#

Just shoot at head height into a crowd and generate 20 stacks ez

orchid hemlock
#

It stacks up

snow cypress
#

I mean that

flint lake
#

Every melee kill I beleive

orchid hemlock
#

No it's range as well

flint lake
#

And you’re spend 2 points to get it

junior needle
#

It requires you to shoot into melee chaffe, already a thing you shouldn't be doing, but especially to shoot into melee chaffe right next to your teammates that they're already presumably clearing

#

It has very low value

orchid hemlock
#

Even if it was only melle, 5% EVERY kill as you slaughter a horde is insane

snow cypress
#

if covering fire had synergy it would be 2,5%

#

It does not compare with a 15%

orchid hemlock
#

And only if you kill an elite close to them

flint lake
#

Whenever you start jumping into melee vet you gotta be ready to ask, why not just play zealot?

orchid hemlock
#

Tru but someone needs to kill the specials 😔

snow cypress
junior needle
#

Has to be a ranged attack according to the tooltip

orchid hemlock

I mean, I guess in aurics, half the shit you kill is going to be close to someone because there are more elites than trash sometimes ☠️

snow cypress
#

So assuming it gives you also a 15% toughness to you(which is not the case,but imagine)it would give TO ALLIES the direct 15% of CF and a 15% of the toughness it gives TO YOU(which is a 2,25%).The result of this is that instead of giving to allies a 15% it would give a 17,25%

Of course it matters, that's the whole discussion

snow cypress

And that it would be maybe a good option,that we could talk about other stuff

orchid hemlock
#

So what you are saying is that it synergizes with the toughness regen build correct?

#

NOT BL

snow cypress
#

I'm saying that IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT THAT CF HAS NO SYNERGY WITH BL

#

Because by itself it gives 15%

#

We could talk about other important point such as the team position and that 5m limitation

orchid hemlock
#

OK but I'm telling you, that because it does not synergize with BL there are other nodes that are better you can be spending

snow cypress
#

Having synergy with BL in that case is not that important

orchid hemlock
#

BL is literally the reason why the regen build works in the first place

sinful swallow

It is when you're now taxing power out of yourself for something that doesn't benefit you and also doesn't benefit from core of your build, it's adjacent but not the same

So instead of wasting 2 points to get a conditional node like CF that doesn't maximize BL, why not use it on something like blood?

It gives toughness to other people but why not spend for toughness on yourself or a node that lets you kill faster and proc your own gains more

OK so having toughness given to YOURSELF is significantly easier than trying to proc CF, because YOU have control of that regeneration.

Does that make sense?

Yeah it requiring you to shoot into chaffe that your team is already clearing makes it hard to justify

But you're shooting at something already being taken care of

You generally also move away from these large clusters if you're in a position where you actually need the toughness boost

OK so if I use Taste of Blood on a horde, I literally can probably get 20 kills easily, that is 400% toughness

#

That's to my whole team

Which is that?

Taste of Blood

Top of tree on right

Every kill you get you get 5% toughness per kill
