Oh btw finally finished all the penances for vet! Woohoo!

#

I started with Psyker, moved to Ogryn, then zealot, and my favorite class is the last, vet.

#

Haven’t finished all the penances on any other, although I finished all the Psyker ones before they added more

Tech Death is a great choice too! Those From the Heavens Who Came by Inferi is a great listen for games. Just give the first song of the album a listen!

This year is great for metal. In the black metal side, Akhlys drops a new album, Aetheria Conscientia drops a new weird prog black metal album, on the death metal side, Nyktophobia drops a banger of an old-school melodeath album

I have one more recommendation: The Black Throne of Chaose Abandoned by Executus. Top tier Blackened Thrash metal, and it’s warhammer themed lyrically og_eyes

Oh damn, will check it out then

#

Does vet have like, an in depth guide? Ppl said Psyker and Ogryn each have one but I figured I’d ask

do we have new commodore cosmetics or nah?

there are some guides in there

955 worked hard on that

#

Spent a ton of time trying to get my Zealot weapons adequate and they're still bad

Hopped over to Vet to try to get a good shotgun for a support build I want to try for Flawless Execution

And by the Golden fraggin' Throne,

severe gale
#

i was just basing it off of that it says its only for the weapons

#

idk if it goes into depth about the techs of the class n such

heavy rover
#

would falter and high voltage work for the indignatus mk iii shock maul?

#

thinking if it can stagger ragers out of their attack pattern

severe gale
#

no clue

but i know that entropic staggers them

heavy rover
#

oooh interesting. ill gve it a look

tall torrent
severe gale
#

ah

#

fair

tall torrent
#

I went in-depth in just about everything there is to talk about for veteran

#

Talent tree, weapons, game mechanics, all weapon blessings, enemy breakdown, etc

#

Only have 3 sections I haven’t done yet

#

Curio & defense
Major stagger breakpoints
Example builds

#

I can send u what it looks like rn

#

The pinned version (old) is outdated by several months

severe gale
#

ah

#

now we need one for zealot

#

we have josho's crusher guide

heavy rover
severe gale
#

wait we do hjave one i think

#

no

#

thats just talent tree

tall torrent

#

ah sorry i was referring to the stagger breakpoints

tall torrent
#

Everything else don’t matter much

arctic rampart
#

I tested out the new sunder +20% heavy damage on power sword (for me mk3). It seems more fun cause heavies are engaging. But it's IMO still worse than brutal momentum.

#

Definitely better than before and you should try it out it is fun

severe gale

guh?

#

why r u guhing

tall torrent
#

doubt it tho KEKW_ogryn

#

I did futureproof it by reducing stagger rating of weapons like antax/tac axe/standard shovel down to 9

#

cuz they're very obviously not on the same stagger strength as zealot's crusher (which would be a 10)

#

even though they can stagger more enemies than crusher (mutant on weakspot)

severe gale
#

josho wrote a long ass guide for just the crusher alone

tall torrent
severe gale
#

yeah true

tall torrent
#

and also zealot's exclusive melee weapons kinda need more explanation

#

the 2 thunder hammers would need 1 page each

#

the 2 evicerators too

#

also zealot doesn't need minmax nearly as much as veteran

severe gale
#

hm

yeah

the guide would be much more just

lenient in general

I wanna make a recon lasgun build work and i cant find an up to date build guide. Like what blessings do i want and any necessary talents?

torn gorge
#

depends what is the role of the lasgun in your build

drowsy aspen
#

Mine isn't optimal, but I think Head Hunter + Infernus is aight

torn gorge
#

dum dum over infernus

drowsy aspen
#

I have Dumdum and Infernus and it's quite good on the VId

torn gorge
#

for vet generally

drowsy aspen
#

Dumdum and Head Hunter, you heard it here!

torn gorge
#

you want a crit boosting perk as 2nd one to help with dps/ammo efficiency

drowsy aspen
#

Exactly exactly- the ammo efficiency thing rules

thats a bold statement

Shock trooper is alright

drowsy aspen

My buddy mocked my recon lasgun gameplay for me just holding M1, but it's super fun

its more of a case that shock troopers helps an otherwise relatively ammo inefficient weapon

You've got the good blessings and a very good stat roll. Ranged weak spot damage is bad but the weapon is still ok. I would recommend Flak over crit chance tbh but crit chance is also an ok perk

junior needle
# fading yarrow I'm not confident about changing the build up so far into the run but if you hav...

Longshot and kill zone are of very inconsistent benefit, especially in higher difficulties where things are swarming to and around you constant. Long shot can get you over the hump on some breakpoints you barely can't reach though, mostly notably with plasma.

I heard some people talk about how the changes to close range also (negatively) affected long shot but I haven't confirmed that for myself.

#

Born leader, as I mentioned, is very low value due to how much it actually gives, and also the nature of when you need toughness. Drip feeding your teammates tiny bits of toughness over time doesn't help much when the times you really need toughness is when it goes from 100 to 0.

You could take those 3 points and put them into deadshot/fully loaded/superiority, or go for recip and desperado

I'll probably swap out Killzone and Born Leader for Fully Loaded and Superiority Complex
Longshot treats me too good when there's a boss a mile away that I can divest of half its health before it reaches the team

#

And the more I think about it, Born Leader is pretty useless to me since I've been staying pretty far away from situations where I'm regaining Toughness on melee kills

Voice of Command does indeed fill the Toughness demand in every scenario, and I almost always have it available every 15 seconds

Thanks for the tips btw

If you want to stick with the theme then go Smoke, but Frag is just the better option of the two imo

terse idol
#

Krak is alright

#

Not bad for a shotgun build either tbh

fading yarrow
#

But I'm also a Krakhead so my perspective is very limited

marble mantle
#

Anything it does, I can do just slightly slower with something else

#

Frags and smokes I feel serve me a real benefit

#

I mean shit, frags against a boss give me dot

My main loadout uses Krak, Grenade Tinkerer, Twinned Blast, Demolition Stockpile and Grenadier

Nothing survives

#

Horde? Gone

#

Mauler/Crusher mob? Not anymore

Also does anyone know how many stacks of bleed the Saul special applies with serrated? I would assume just 1 but like who knows

smokes require a lot of spam

marble mantle
pallid jetty

they're not very useful if you dont have them

marble mantle
#

True

pallid jetty
#

id pick kraks+mid aura

marble mantle
#

Imma take smokes but I mean I could take mid aura, I’ve just heard it’s kinda niche

#

I do want all the dmg I can get though

pallid jetty
#

what damage

#

i see, all the damage

marble mantle
#

Preferably. I mean, like, range and melee. Lol

pallid jetty
#

well, the bleed is still not good cause its just 1 stack

marble mantle
#

Yeah nah you’re right I just didn’t know what else to pick

pallid jetty
#

i dont understand this perk

junior needle

fast reviving? for glass cannon?

junior needle
#

Lemme take a look at replacements

pallid jetty
#

almost glass cannon but still

junior needle
#

What weapon are you using?

marble mantle
pallid jetty
#

id think about picking -0.25 seconds for stamina regen delay

marble mantle
pallid jetty
#

and there is a 10% toughness damage reduction near iirc

junior needle
#

Not terribly familiar with either of those guns but you'll probably want deadshot over supp immunity on the shotgun

marble mantle
#

I always like having leave no one behind. Just big nice to me

#

Easy to clutch with it

pallid jetty
#

suppression immunity with a shotgun?..

#

???

marble mantle
#

I’m new to vet lol

pallid jetty
#

i figured

marble mantle
#

Still figuring things out

pallid jetty
#

well good that you're asking questions

marble mantle
#

Yeah I always run my builds thru here

pallid jetty
#

supp immunity is good if you want to stay behind and try to headshot people

marble mantle
#

Ohhh okay

junior needle
#

When you're loading special shells your stamina regens, so deadshot has better utility than it might seem

#

Also the lower fire rate on them

pallid jetty
#

if you cant really engage in melee with shooters, and you just have to shoot them

#

unless you use auto-lasguns, with them you also dont need supp immunity

#

or autoguns

marble mantle
#

Ooh duck and dive could be good if I’m running dead shot right

#

So many good talents

pallid jetty
#

what is duck and dive and dead shot

#

i dont remember them all

marble mantle
pallid jetty
#

what is cc

marble mantle
#

Duck and dive is stam back on avoiding range by dodging sprint and slide

#

Critical chance

#

Do people not use cc here?

pallid jetty
#

i never run dead shot, i need stamina if i suddenly have 20 poxwalkers on my ass

marble mantle
pallid jetty
#

not saying its bad

#

i usually have enough ammo with las weapons

#

(cause im just good headshotting and critting)

thorn lark

Controller make life hard sometimes

pallid jetty

that turns on only on headshot*

thorn lark

no, it's baked in the weapon

pallid jetty

oh really?

even better then

thorn lark

also plasma has it

marble mantle

It’s a talent on the right side below infiltrate

i dont run it until i want to get the stamina regen delay

junior needle
#

Well, subjectively you may not care but it did cause your shots to go very wide, which is objectively a large reduction in your ability to land headshots.

#

Now it's been lessened, reportedly.

marble mantle
#

Close quarter killzone

junior needle
thorn lark
#

duck and dive is niche

marble mantle
junior needle
#

It can be very good value with deadshot on weapons that have ghost, like ilas and laspistols

pallid jetty
#

is lawbringer a blue shotgun?

#

the mid one?

thorn lark
#

yes

pallid jetty
#

today i did a run with the heaviest infantry lasgun, it sucks bad

#

now i should try shotguns

#

to see if they still suck too

marble mantle

Just took a clip of the updated version I’ll send when it uploads

Then can go from there

and i will try to log into the game once more cause it doesnt let me

Any notable changes?

idk, you press the ability and then try to kill everything as fast as you cant

looks like a playstyle

but before you throw a smoke to defend yourself from shooters

marble mantle
#

Nah I’m bout to just go back to WS lol

#

It’s like crack and I’m addicted

#

Friendship ended with FT, new best friend is WS

bitter turtle
#

just asking since C&K is a much better aura generally than fire team and its costing you an extra point that could go to a number of things

#

i would say 5% crit is alot better than 5% hp as a transition node too

marble mantle
#

I like having theoretically infinite grenades yes

bitter turtle
#

tinker doesnt give you more nades

marble mantle
#

Wait

#

Ohhhhh

#

That one

bitter turtle
#

duration on smokes

marble mantle
#

Yeah idgaf someone suggested I take fire team

#

Lemme know your suggested changes

bitter turtle
#

honestly

#

if you are already going smokes

#

id go full movespeed lel

marble mantle
#

Just to make it known in case you missed it this is thematically an enforcer / riot cop build

torn gorge
#

double duration smoke is not bad

#

but at least grab movespeed

#

that helps more

marble mantle
#

Yeah I felt very slow this last mission

torn gorge
#

are you running shock maul?

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

you save a point and get 5% crit and a better aura

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

but is it worth taking a bunch of inferior talents

#

is this for helbore still

#

i know you said enforcer riot cop but idk what that entails

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

oh

bitter turtle
#

even more reason to drop tinker

#

u can just barely reach WS by dropping tinker

#

lol

marble mantle
#

You’re a real one thanks

bitter turtle
#

you do lose that stam delay though

#

it depends on what your gun/melee is

tall torrent

why reciprocity

bitter turtle

Whatevs is whatevs I’m using Lawbringer and Shock Mail

bitter turtle

oh

marble mantle

Omg

tall torrent

then CQKZ

bitter turtle

you can use cqkz instead

#

yeah

torn gorge
#

if those are the 2 weapons then go heavier on the melee side

bitter turtle

if you're wondering why i go right at the top

I was gonna slip it into getting the ammo refill on WS

bitter turtle
#

oh right

#

you are using a shotgun

#

actually

#

you should make a change

marble mantle
#

Can do

bitter turtle
#

more than the ammo refill

#

you should get tac reload

marble mantle
#

Where’s that

bitter turtle
#

at the very top right

torn gorge
#

top right

marble mantle
#

Oh found it

#

Okay

#

Bet

bitter turtle
#

it speeds up your special reload action

#

the spread shot

torn gorge
#

idk if there are meaningful breakpoints but you could prob also drop elite dmg

marble mantle
#

Ohhhh bet

torn gorge
#

if you want more points

bitter turtle
#

i dont think always prepared is actually that useful for shotguns

#

the auto reload under WS

#

well

marble mantle
#

Really?

bitter turtle
#

the original 3 at least

marble mantle
#

Oh fleeting fire could be nice

bitter turtle
#

idk in theory one might think its useful but I have never went "oh man I wish I had always prepared" personally

#

i guess because you can always just reload 1 shell quickly anyway

marble mantle
#

Expensive tho

bitter turtle
#

yeah fleeting fire is not worth reaching

marble mantle
#

Okay so if I take tac reload I lose my bring it down, so I can either reach bring it down or superiority complex

bitter turtle
#

you could probably

#

just keep superiority complex

#

and grab the stamina delay node under it

#

that you dropped from your original build

marble mantle
#

Oh okay bet

#

Yeah

bitter turtle
#

iots easier to reach

marble mantle
#

True

#

Thanks!

#

Excited to run this

bitter turtle
#

that way

#

if you ever change from shmaul

tall torrent
#

I'm debating if I should get veteran enforcer armor

bitter turtle
#

to something like knife

#

then you can just swap cqkz to recip easily

#

without losing stam delay

torn gorge
#

i think instead of auto reload the stamina on weapon swap would be better in this context

marble mantle
tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

stamina on weapon swap is great but i dont know if shmaul needs it that much

marble mantle
#

Didn’t get the helmet though since

#

Well

torn gorge
#

it does if you play deadshot

marble mantle
torn gorge
bitter turtle
#

i actually wonder

#

does stam delay or invigorate provide more stamina in the long run

#

probably delay right?

#

invigorate is better if you just need a burst of it on swap like with knife push attacks

torn gorge
#

depends how you use stamina

tall torrent
torn gorge
#

also depends how much stamina you run i think

tall torrent
marble mantle
#

I just didn’t want to change my current helmet

torn gorge
#

but WS let you use deadshot more aggressively as a result

marble mantle
#

Should’ve clarified

bitter turtle
#

thats why i run it on deadshot+knife builds

torn gorge
#

i think its quite the underrated node

bitter turtle
#

i can freely dump all my stam on deadshot and then swap into knife and still have push attacks ready

torn gorge
#

people often time just stop at WS

#

without looking at the ancillary nodes

bitter turtle
#

i think it just depends on you rmelee weapon

torn gorge
#

but both first nodes have contextualised merits

bitter turtle
#

some melee do push attack a lot

torn gorge
#

and the bottom is just tons of sustain

bitter turtle
#

and invigorate is a godsend for that

#

if you dont push atk that much its probably fine just to run delay though

torn gorge
#

even on more shooty builds that node is quite the qol

#

being able to sprint with weapon swap

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

its underrated to be sure

#

always prepared is usually rated highly (thanks to revolver most of the time) but a lot of people ignore invig

tall torrent
#

I like how it looks but I usually just run kasrkin armor

torn gorge
#

always prep makes sense in the context of low ammo mag weapons

tall torrent
torn gorge
#

invigorate makes more sense in the context of automatic weapons and deadshot

bitter turtle
#

yeah i honestly think invig is the tape that holds my knife+laspistol build together lol

#

i think it would not work so well without it

torn gorge
#

on most deadshot/auto weapons you are always at risk of emptying stamina and then relying on low stamina weapons swap

#

but that is punishing on its own under pressure

#

which makes you play much more conservative on the shooting part with deadshot

#

rather than going stam empty

thorn lark
#

deadshot on the double barrel shotgun is soooooo good

#

and it doesn't ruin your stam either

torn gorge
#

thats a different context

bitter turtle
#

what about

#

if we had

#

i smash saul on monstro

just stun em and bonk em

just bonk it repeatedly cause martyrdom carries your damage
