keep wrath, ss doesn't play well with x13

Wrath is mandatory for light spam, although now you can apparently do a L/H alternating combo with the 13

please tell me theres a mod for having 2 keybinds per action

umbral scaffold

No, keep both. You need an uncomfortable amount of cleave. You need more cleave than can be conceived of by the human mind.

And don't forget to keybind enemy tagging to your left-click. The people love that.

Change your dodge and jump keybinds so you don't accidentally jump when you meant to dodge. Change jump to left click so you jump every time you shoot

Unfortunately that wasnt the case Sitgryn

@faint beacon u wanna play

thorn lark
#

i would say it's the same for taxe, especially the mk7 and mk2. You'll be PAing a lot and dodging as much... so with desperation + momentum is basically +25 to 35% dmg all the time

stoic mantle
#

Dutch, you in here yet?

indigo mural
#

o/

#

Yeah I got alv30 Psyker and the skills on that character I can sorta feel what'd fit with my playstyle but Veteran is all over the place

#

I do really enjoy the revolver though, plasma gun is just incredibly slow and feels clunky

stoic mantle
#

Veteran really has 2 main playstyles as far as i'm concerned

indigo mural
#

I just want to be able to efficiently take out Specials since most teams suffer from those and not the regular enemies

stoic mantle
#

you can either be the careful special deleter or the crackhead everything deleter

indigo mural
#

both sound pretty gud

#

as of now I'm lv17 but I'd love to see the builds/differences

stoic mantle
#

let me boot up and look at my saved talent sheets

#

Also, for melee I really really like Mk4 devil's claw

thorn lark
indigo mural
#

I'm using one of the chainswords now since the damage has been very good to me

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

basically everything is usuable on the highest difficulties

stoic mantle
#

I don't like the combos of the chainswords and the special feels slow

stoic mantle
radiant chasm
#

every class*

#

besides like... ogryn

#

and even then

#

it's a handful of variants

stoic mantle
#

IDK there are some weapons that feel really just bleh

radiant chasm
#

not the whole roster

#

bleh and usuable 2 different things

#

i guess avoid the autopistol?

faint beacon
radiant chasm
#

only weapon i can think on vet that is jsut worse than other options

faint beacon
#

Farming Aurics for more Ordos if you're cool with that

tall torrent
stoic mantle
#

The newer laspistol feels pretty shit to use, too

radiant chasm
#

🤷

stoic mantle
#

the really fucking slow one

faint beacon
#

I could, I might not talk much but yeah

radiant chasm
#

it's still a laspistol

faint beacon
#

but anyways I'll be back in like 15ish mins

indigo mural
#

Revolver is sick though but if I miss a headshot I feel like a turd

stoic mantle
#

Practice

#

that's all it takes

indigo mural
#

you use revolver?

stoic mantle
#

oh yeah

#

its objectively busted.

#

with the correct blessings you can guarantee crits with 60% rending

indigo mural
#

what's rending

stoic mantle
#

Basically armor penetration

indigo mural
#

Ah

thorn lark
indigo mural
#

and what build might that be 👀

stoic mantle
#

Do you know about the different armor types?

indigo mural
#

Carapace and uh

#

I played VT2 so I understand the concept

peak stone

whats the difference between staggering and stunning an enemy

what are people's experiences with this perk

thorn lark
#

so yeaaahhh

indigo mural
#

So the snub revolver gets better atleast, okok, I'll give it another chance haha. very satisfying to use other than having to reload for 30 yrs

thorn lark
#

wdym gets better?

#

zarona revolver is a pocket sniper rifle

indigo mural
#

Lv17 now, it will scale I with talents & rarity

#

I am assuming atleast

civic knot
#

Any reason you want hammerblow rather than falter? does it matter that much?

indigo mural
#

Is there a snub revolver specialist deleter build here somewhere?

thorn lark
#

hammerblow is wanted for skullcrusher on the maul

#

makes sc proce more consistently

lilac mesa
#

any brokeheads in chat

thorn lark
#

and apparently, you got better results than falter with it

civic knot
thorn lark
#

well, you will be stacking sc yeah, but probably not as fast

stoic mantle
#

@indigo mural this is the build I've been using with the new shock maul and double barrel

last parcel
thorn lark
#

don't forget each enemy has its own stagger threshold as well

stoic mantle

it can be tweaked to suit other weapons or gain more survivability

Which part do I focus here first?

indigo mural
stoic mantle
#

krak grenades are great for dealing with carapace dudes, though

indigo mural
#

How the hell do you zoom out

#

Took this one instead of the team one you had

#

also skipping this one

#

So I got the gist of it haha

stoic mantle
#

WS first, since the bonuses from switching back and forth is what makes the build

indigo mural
#

Gotcha

#

I'm torn on this one though

#

Agile Engagement seems amazing

thorn lark
indigo mural
#

or does the revolver do enough damage that it's not needed?

stoic mantle
#

LNOB is ok, as you go up in difficulty the extra grenade gets more appealing though

#

I'd still recommend it with revolver

#

since it plays directly into the WS playstyle

Vet can actually do it all

thorn lark

sadly stealh is damn costly

thorn lark
#

i have 10 on vet and i wish i could add more

stoic mantle
#

Stealth is really good for WS and for carrying though

#

stealth to do objectives or pick people up is preem

radiant chasm
#

stealth to drop aggro and flank shooters, elites and specs has carried me through all my vet games recently

coral willow
thorn lark
#

oh btw you can change the max in the mod?

coral willow
#

yes

last parcel
thorn lark
#

i should look into that

coral willow
#

i removdd the limit up to uh

thorn lark
#

i let it at default so 10?

coral willow
#

30?

#

i think

fleet thicket
#

Guys

#

Btw I had to ask

#

Opinion on the two chainswords?

radiant chasm
#

mk4 great

#

mk13g bit weirder but does fine with wrath

fleet thicket
#

Mk13 got way higher

#

Damage with its rev attack like

#

250 extra damage

coral willow
#

its vertical

fleet thicket
#

2 revs kills crusher

coral willow
#

i dont like the anims tho

fleet thicket
#

While on chainsword 4 it's 3 I bleive

fleet thicket
#

The new chainsword got much higher rev damage

thorn lark
coral willow
#

all mk13 heavy is vertical

#

rev damage reflects that

fleet thicket
coral willow
#

same goes for mk2 rev vs mk15 rev on evis

coral willow
fleet thicket
#

Oh I see okay

fleet thicket
#

I run savage sweep

#

And rampage on mk4

thorn lark
#

wrath is a rampage enabler on x13

winter grove
#

Mk4 heavies aren't strikedowns

coral willow
#

meanwhile mk4 can cope with shred + rampage if they want, i run wrath on mk4 too cause i enjoy lightspamming with it

fleet thicket
#

I see okay

coral willow
#

mk4 heavy has enough cleave for savage sweep

thorn lark
coral willow
#

mk13 light doesnt have enough at all for savage sweep

radiant chasm
#

chsword has the fastest chaffe horde clear in the game

civic knot
#

Can it be worth to invest into flak instead of keeping unyielding? That will make this thing reach a lower minimum attacks needed to kill certain human flak elites. It will even give it a 1 hit breakpoint for flak shotgunners on strikedown heavy

radiant chasm
#

and on all chswords iirc, crit damage doesn't fall off

it's an amazing boost and it has good utility, best of both worlds

coral willow
radiant chasm
#

true

fleet thicket
#

God

#

I always run shotgun with sauls now

civic knot
#

do you need hammerblow 4 to reach any specific minimum attacks needed for stagger on any enemy?

rigid pilot
#

I would just never use sauls against vs any kind of unyielding

coral willow
#

ragers

thorn lark
fleet thicket
#

I needed unyielding damage man this thing does potato damage against bosses

radiant chasm
coral willow
rigid pilot
thorn lark
#

wrath/ss + shred works too

#

you want cleave

coral willow
#

ye

rigid pilot
#

Hammerblow is real

civic knot
radiant chasm
#

and then you swap to ranged

#

or you just bash em while they are stunned

thorn lark
#

have you seen those insane number for flak? (armored)

coral willow
#

that blessing is goated

rigid pilot
#

I mean I wouldn't run BOTH hammerblow and lightning but

radiant chasm
#

hammerblow is just cringe compared to double damage/power like

fleet thicket
radiant chasm
#

oh yea def not both

coral willow
#

hammerblow exists

fleet thicket
#

God maces such against mix horde situations

rigid pilot
#

Hammerblow SC is very respectable

radiant chasm
#

high voltage procs from any swing that makes a zapping noise, including normal ones

coral willow
#

Hammer SC <<< HV Reflex fight me

rigid pilot
#

Or hammerblow HV

radiant chasm
#

skullcrusher just gets silly numbers eventually

radiant chasm
#

nah if you are going hammerblow

fleet thicket
#

YOU serious???

radiant chasm
coral willow
#

HV is BiS cause of that

fleet thicket
#

I thought it was just the special

radiant chasm
#

the normal swings that zap apply a 0 dps shock debuff

fleet thicket
#

Goddam

coral willow
#

basically headtaker

rigid pilot
#

SC HV is the funny 100% damage buff lmao

civic knot
#

@radiant chasm Is there any other build for maces that rivals SC + HB?

inland orchid
#

Mm the shockmaul does in fact shock loregryn

radiant chasm
#

the shock debuff from special has a dot

coral willow
#

sauls kinda never stun long enough for skullcrusher to be useful alone imho

radiant chasm
rigid pilot
#

SC swings fast enough

coral willow
#

HV+LR best fight me

rigid pilot
#

But I use agri

fleet thicket
#

I know its bad

indigo mural
#

Just to confirm, this is just melee?

radiant chasm
#

only time you willingly go hammerblow imo is when you

rigid pilot
#

I love HV LR too

radiant chasm
fleet thicket
#

But its best I got right now

rigid pilot
#

Mainly because LR is funny

civic knot
#

LR is a little cringe.... Im not gonna waste time I could use killing to proc a blessing

radiant chasm
rigid pilot
#

There's no timing lol

radiant chasm
rigid pilot
#

Lemme dig

indigo mural
#

Thx

radiant chasm
#

it's not a single target stun

coral willow
#

close damage doesnt increase melee? thats sad

radiant chasm

it's a front cone

What's Melee Finesse Bonus? haha

radiant chasm

radiant chasm

which isn't even dead on vet

coral willow

then my vet is goooood

radiant chasm
coral willow
thorn lark

close dmg is all dmg

coral willow

and HV LR changed on it

fleet thicket
radiant chasm
fleet thicket
#

What perks you run ?

radiant chasm
#

don't get twisted

#

with thinking you NEED best in slot blessings

#

to be usuable lmao

#

you can clear in really shit gear/white gear

coral willow
thorn lark
radiant chasm
#

the finesse modifier on a weapon stat affects the above and also attack speed

#

as well as veteran struggling a bit with hordes cornering you anyways, it certainly isn't a wasted perk

#

just not very good

thorn lark
#

and critspot mutiplier

radiant chasm
#

but who cares

fleet thicket
radiant chasm
thorn lark
#

oh sorry

radiant chasm
#

i'm not gonna boot up my game when it's 9pm to check but i think mine is flakiac

#

anyways, LR stun is huge and i suggest you go test it in game

#

before you discount it

fleet thicket
#

I'm so shocked high voltage works on everything I thought its just special only

radiant chasm
#

and then it's just free power

thorn lark
#

can confirm, and contrary to the claw, nobody can eat your parry

radiant chasm
#

if it was only the stun ok i get it

rigid pilot
#

LR is cool, but mainly because I started to block more in games KEKW_ogryn

civic knot
#

@radiant chasm wait so what is this blessing combo u are advocating for?

radiant chasm
#

but it's power on top of the stun

rigid pilot
#

LR vs bulwark swarms is great too

radiant chasm
rigid pilot
#

Block their shield bash

radiant chasm
#

LR does not just stun the target that you blocked

marble mantle
#

I got so lucky again

civic knot
#

does stun from LR proc SC?

rigid pilot
marble mantle
#

Well rolled lawbringer with scattershot and maniac

#

Just need to flak and manstopper

radiant chasm
#

SC just has the highest potential, goes up to like 80% damage on a knocked ass target

rigid pilot
#

I don't think it's 80%

thorn lark
#

but that's potential

radiant chasm
#

i'd go SC+LR for zealot and SC+HV for psyker and vet, if you aren't going commando

rigid pilot
#

I think it's 8 * 5%

thorn lark
radiant chasm
rigid pilot
#

If you have the debuff indicator it's very clear

radiant chasm
#

there are multiple stagger states, it's weird

marble mantle
#

After I do the lawbringer I’m gonna do bistol and bolter

radiant chasm
#

it goes high

rigid pilot
#

But from psk testing it definitely doesn't feel like 80%

radiant chasm
#

it does more damage than what the tooltip suggests

fleet thicket
#

I love shock mauls now man

civic knot
#

@rigid pilot For vet, HB + SC or something else? what is most powerful in your opinion

marble mantle
radiant chasm
#

idk why you pushing so hard for hammerblwo

fleet thicket
#

I totally forgot this thing also gets huge bonus from desperate xD

radiant chasm
#

only weapon that gets hammerblow before this was Crusher

marble mantle
#

Indig 3 only, riot cop moment

radiant chasm
#

but that's cause crusher ONly has 1 damage blessing

#

it doesn't have anything like HV or LR

radiant chasm
#

hammerblow is the best stagger blessing

radiant chasm
#

no offense

marble mantle
#

Also, CRAZY how much stagger slug shotty special deals

radiant chasm
#

you have parry, you have sweep and rampage

#

no room for HBlow

thorn lark
#

claw had hb before crusher

radiant chasm
thorn lark
#

crusher was not there at the beggining

radiant chasm
#

i am very aware

#

idk what you are fighting pedantics

coral willow
#

some did willingly equip hammerblow and some ohter stagger blessing on munitorum to open bulwarks

radiant chasm
#

my wording was vague

#

it is now corrected

coral willow
#

so theres thay

radiant chasm
#

better than bolter KEKW_ogryn

coral willow
#

but now that bulwarks are buffed you cant nolonger do that

marble mantle
#

Yeah it’s pretty wild

marble mantle
#

I also open up bulwarks with shocky shock special

radiant chasm
#

bulwarks were buffed and bolter can't do that

#

agri shotgun still can

coral willow
#

hammerblow and some ohter stagger blessing could open it with a special hit

radiant chasm
thorn lark
#

what can open a bullwark rn? agri shot, maul special and?

radiant chasm
#

thought it was a mistranslation of meat grinder or psykanium

coral willow
#

what else you call the base shovel

rigid pilot
marble mantle
#

I still want to get bolter anyway, tbh. Gonna make me feel like an astartes lol

coral willow

Bad shovel KEKW_ogryn

boop shovel chadgryn

the no folding shovel

so people did use hammerblow on other stuff

😭

coral willow
rigid pilot
winter grove

If you're using hammerblow and stagger blessings on standard shovel

coral willow

before

winter grove

You're effectively using a dogshit melee

rigid pilot

Ah now it's pointless KEKW_ogryn

coral willow

i dont think you can do that anymore

coral willow

Meanwhile forcesword just do a push and open bulwark

Perfectly balanced game psyker W

old shovel IS a fine all rounder

jsut cause

But even then taxes do the job better

Fucking taxes

radiant chasm

the new fancy dancy shovels may be better

#

no way

shovel>>>> taxes

rigid pilot

Saul is the better replacement for old shovel

radiant chasm

i justt used it like last week

but

What the fuck is a melee weapon on psyker 🔥

rigid pilot

Autopilot smite has like a really small skill ceiling

It’s pretty easy

rigid pilot

#

Makes me a sad panda

coral willow
winter grove
#

Why lightning reflexes tho

coral willow
#

cause its broken?

marble mantle
#

I mean it seems good but idk why you wouldn’t just use SC

winter grove
coral willow
#

well stuns everything really, opens up bulwark shield pushes way faster than special does n stuff

#

also stuns dog if you get the timing right

winter grove
#

You have push attack vs dogs because your character uses telekinesis to push the dog KEKW_ogryn

radiant chasm
#

lightning reflexes is an aoe stun

#

not a single target stun

winter grove
#

OH

radiant chasm
#

iirc

winter grove
#

That changes

marble mantle
winter grove
#

Everything

radiant chasm
#

i don't have it on my own yet cause rng hates me

marble mantle
#

Damn

coral willow
#

i assume single target

radiant chasm
#

but you can use it vs rager swarms

marble mantle
radiant chasm
#

is it not multi-target

coral willow
#

cause i havent seen multiple target awuisirion

#

but every hit during "parry"frame counts as parry

radiant chasm
#

YES that

#

that is it lacerate

coral willow
#

its not you parried it once your your block is just a block

radiant chasm
#

thank goodness you are a savior for once

coral willow
#

comparing to dclaw where only first hit registers and parry is initiated

#

its just a timeframe to stun every attack

radiant chasm
#

you can just reset your block inbetween hits

#

to get the window back

#

it's free damage as well

#

anyways

#

i'm back to ferret posting

#

here templars

coral willow
#

it has its limits since it suffers the same problem DClaw has, which is running out of stamina is quite dangerous with it so your option is limited

#

especialyl against swarms even if you stun them you either take a chunk out of stamina or get stunlocked, both you dont want

radiant chasm
coral willow
#

but the alternative is just... die with skullcrusher

radiant chasm
#

my build goes double stam regen nodes so i'm fine

coral willow
#

i have trouble for zealot

#

its saying stuff really

radiant chasm
#

zealot you just go martyrdom and stat check with SC

#

get punishment

#

maybe grievous wounds

coral willow
#

eh

#

i like LR more on zealot as well

radiant chasm
#

LR+SC

#

imo on zealot

coral willow
#

idk

#

still feel like SC doesnt last long enough on targets that matter so i tend to stick to HV

#

less powerful but more consistent

it's dangerous to go alone templars, take this

what would i grab

#

flak or maniac

thorn lark
#

flak

#

what is the second?

shadow dagger
#

i gotta choose between groaner/poxie and block efficiency

thorn lark
#

keep block eff then

winter grove
#

I think it's bricked man

#

1/4??

shadow dagger
#

i hear you

thorn lark
#

depends on the blessing

shadow dagger
#

but im not rolling another knife

winter grove
#

Okay the blessings

thorn lark
#

tell us the blessings

#

we won't judge

winter grove
#

Maybe pox/groaner is good for better horde clear

#

What are the blessings

shadow dagger
#

it was junk and flesh tearer

#

swapped to riposte

thorn lark
#

hmmm

winter grove
#

No uncanny?

thorn lark
#

go uncanny + flesh tearer and just use the reciprocity talent

#

and desperado if you can too

winter grove
#

Uncanny flesh tearer might not be bad

#

You should go unyielding instead of flak tho with the uncanny

thorn lark
#

yeah, agree

#

with block eff, consider it as mobility and defensive tool capable of big burst dmg especially against big targets

#

just don't try to solo a horde

shadow dagger

i love buildcrafting

is this any good?

covert moat
#

is it a good pick up?

thorn lark
#

that's a good base, the question is: how much bucks do you have?

covert moat
#

7575

thorn lark
#

and have you ever used a kant shotgun?

covert moat
#

nope

wanting to expand my arsenel

gilded cobalt
#

you think this infantry autogun is worth buying from sire milk?

#

Ive never messed with the autoguns before

faint beacon
#

its not the absolute best

#

but to be brutally honest

#

snag it for the update thats coming here soon

gilded cobalt
#

oh, is crafting being updated... again?

faint beacon
#

could very well easily get a Maxed out Graia

#

Yeah near end Summer

#

itemization update is being dropped

#

locks will be no more

#

and you can up the stats on everything

gilded cobalt
#

oh wow!

shadow dagger
#

oh

#

mk6 knife special followup isnt a full heavy3

faint beacon
#

for which weapon?

#

the Knife?

shadow dagger
#

yeah

faint beacon
#

Yeah both MK3 and MK6 I believe share the same downwards Strike Down

tall torrent
shadow dagger
#

push attack into special followup barely doesnt kill a dreg gunner with my current knife

#

i suppose thats a dreg gunner diff though

junior needle
#

I saw what you posted pogryn

midnight totem
#

cleaned up my inventory a little

#

burned some plasteel while I was at it

#

probably pointless, given the itemization rework at the end of summer, but alas

junior needle
#

Next season pogryn

faint beacon
#

Im contemplating on

#

just getting a better Vraks III and then just stock piling till the new update

junior needle
#

I've lost the desire to play since getting cucked out of ASS and so I will be doing nothing thumbsup_ogryn

#

At least on darktide

frank ether
stiff glacier
#

Man yesterday i had most painful experience with plasma vet player

#

Dude only used the charged up shot

#

Whole team died to crusher group

#

While guy spent entire time venting the gun after 2 shots

sinful swallow
#

If he's only spam charge he would surely have been one tapping them Guarded

sinful swallow
stiff glacier
#

Clearly he kept missing

sinful swallow
#

I just literally can't get myself off bolter

stiff glacier
#

Or had really crap plasma gun

sinful swallow
#

I don't play darktide I play a bolter gib simulator

last parcel
#

stopping power? sounds lame. i'll dump it chadgryn

thorn lark
#

i want killing power not stopping power chadgryn

junior needle
#

I was 4/5

stiff glacier
#

Plasma gun with infested damage and plus 10 to groaners

sinful swallow
#

It's always a barrel

thorn lark
sinful swallow
#

I run exec for that exact reason, it's just how it is

junior needle

indigo mural
#

I'm absolutely torn. The Cadia MK XIII Chainsword is just amazing for close combat dealing with specials but the MK III Combat Blade is so smooooth to use

#

I'd love to run both really, the knife so I can be the fastest person in existence and the chainsword for allround destruction

bitter turtle
#

knives are actually way better for dealing wiht elite/special

#

than chs

junior needle
#

But suffers considerably on clear

#

by comparison

bitter turtle
#

not if you play like az and run in front of everyone and kill everything before anyone can reach it :^)

#

jk

#

imp retty sure that's why he rates the trash clear on knife so highly

stiff glacier
#

Im trying to figure mk4 chainaxe how i can make it work

bitter turtle
#

but yeah

#

chainsword is actually

indigo mural
#

I just tested both in training grounds and CH seems better for carapace/armoured enemies compared to knife

bitter turtle
#

one of the worst

#

against elite special

indigo mural
#

The ability? what

bitter turtle
#

yes because the rev has animation lock and a hard commit you have to finish or else you dont get full dmg

indigo mural
#

Jesus christ I did not do that much dmg hahahaha

bitter turtle
#

also to begihn with its just

#

underwhelming

#

against crushers

#

you need like 3 revs minimum for non-bloodletter ones

#

even 2 revs with bloodletter feels like shit

#

it doesnt stagger them at all

indigo mural
#

Why are you oneshotting the crusher though I'm so confused

bitter turtle
#

because you are new (i presume) and probably dont have anywhere close to a knife with the correct blessings/perks on it

indigo mural
#

Oh it just does, nevermind

#

Yeah I'm lv19 lol

bitter turtle
#

yea

#

just play around with whatever for now

bitter turtle
#

all your weapojns are trash when they get to 30 anyway bc you cant roll high stats until higher levels

#

chainsword's upsides (on vet) are low talent investments and good horde clear

#

downsides are actually the elite/special performance is just subpar

indigo mural
#

Could I see your knoife blessings/stuff?

tall torrent
#

uncanny + executor in this clip

indigo mural
#

Yeah I am using the snub revolver aswell, I want to become a specialist murdermachine

#

going for Weapon Specialist

bitter turtle
#

blessings:
uncanny strike(necessary) + flesh tearer/riposte/precog/mercy killer/executor

perks: elite/carapace/flak/unyielding are all fine

#

mine specifically is uncanny strike + flesh tearer

#

hence the bleed

indigo mural
#

something like this, not set in stone though

tall torrent
#

if chainsword could PA stagger ragers by default it wouldn't be so bad

faint beacon
#

Mainly push attacks

bitter turtle
#

for infiltrate

#

dont take surprise attack, take at least low profile

midnight totem
#

haha

bitter turtle
#

-90% aggro node

#

and consider On Overwatch (+1 charge)

midnight totem
#

mutant just threw me into a crusher overhead as it landed on another player

indigo mural
bitter turtle
#

rest of it looks quite sane so

#

nothing reall yneeds change

#

you might save a point if you go

#

drop demo stockpile and just cope with demo team

indigo mural
#

Why the -90 aggro node though

bitter turtle
#

but you are losing a lot of dmg by not getting the bottom far left tree

#

but if you value your current utilities it cant be helped

midnight totem
#

the kicker? I was just out of invisiblity and the mutant missed the other player and hit me

bitter turtle
midnight totem
#

Can't even be mad. Just auric things

bitter turtle
#

unless

#

ou are the last person alive

#

then it does nothing

#

but

last parcel
indigo mural
bitter turtle
#

yes

#

that node helps a lot

#

if u are behind enemy linnes

#

killing everything

#

a trapper running past u to go for your teammates

#

is an easy kill

midnight totem
#

Its okay. I was on my secondary vet anyway. He dies more because I do stupid stuff with him

indigo mural
#

so just snub revolver/knife, but this way I am missing out on the far-left tree though thonk

bitter turtle
#

a trapper aiming at you

#

you have to dodge and its annoyin gas fug

#

and could get you killed

midnight totem
#

Thats just you

#

❤️

indigo mural
#

ok

bitter turtle
#

that also grabs far left nodes

#

sec

bitter turtle
#

your build is fine though

#

albiet will lose some dmg and breakpoints

#

but its not like

#

troll tier

indigo mural
#

Yeah it's just one I took from that one website lol

#

and is good if I want to use the revolver apparently

junior needle
#

FT is more appropriate for zealot usage but you can take it on vet provided you critmax

bitter turtle
#

unelss you count
"having desperado on a knife" as critmaxing

indigo mural
bitter turtle
#

you are going infiltrate

#

so stockpile is painful to reach

#

demo team is another, less reliabel grenade regen node

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

at the bottom

indigo mural
#

fair

bitter turtle
#

he wants infil

#

how am i supposed to avoid it

#

lol

junior needle
#

But yeah you want recip and desperado if you insist on going FT

bitter turtle
#

knife has like 30% crit base

junior needle
#

15%

bitter turtle
#

with all factors considered

#

yes

indigo mural
#

the smoke grenate though thonk

bitter turtle
#

im counting desperado

#

25%* my bad

#

thats fine enough

junior needle
#

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bitter turtle
#

you dont run knife without desperado out of mercy killer setup

#

speaking

#

purely in terms of averages

#

that means

#

you, on average, have a crit every 4 attacks

#

which means every other crusher dies in 2 hits

#

that is fine

#

and good

#

for something that doesnt require any stacks to maintain like exec

#

or a 2 second window after a dodge

bitter turtle
#

kraks are pointless unless you really hate bosses

#

with your build

indigo mural
#

fair

bitter turtle
#

you have an anti carapace melee and an anti carapace gun

#

shredders would be good

#

but

#

you'd have to give up ogryn damage probably

#

so its up to you

junior needle
#

I wouldn't really bother taking FT if that's all you're getting, 50% at least with recip

indigo mural
#

Yeah this makes perfect sense ngl

junior needle
#

And it's still not the 80% crit you can get with zealot

bitter turtle
#

fwiw shredder frags are the best grenade

inland orchid
#

i also underutilize smokes, due to the one penace needing u to engulf a fuck ton of enemies tho ive been coming around to it

bitter turtle
#

smokes are a decent utility option because of great surrounding nodes though

thorn lark
inland orchid
#

been snubnosing alot of specials and shooters with my smokes Smug

bitter turtle
#

i mean

#

honestly

#

its still good to have

thorn lark
#

ah yeah

bitter turtle
#

but you can hit 3 shot crusher without it and you arent dependent on crits as much as others

#

frankly i would not run any knife period without recip/desperado so this isnt some kind of strike against FT in particular

#

idk why its being treated as "crit maxing" when its literally just what you should run on the majority of vet knives

indigo mural
#

skipping out on this seems crazy though

bitter turtle
#

at top right

#

you can go middle

#

instead

#

its the same point cost

indigo mural
#

it kinda makes sense though so I understand

bitter turtle
#

if you're wondering why, 5% movespeed

#

:^)

#

travel node

#

gotta go fast

#

the one under Confirmed Kill is +1 stamina which is good too though

thorn lark
bitter turtle
#

nah

#

i dont take it

#

on any build period nowadays

#

out for blood on every build

#

5% movespeed 5ever

thorn lark
#

i never tried it

indigo mural
#

And this is overkill?

rigid pilot
#

Out for blood is nice for any weapon spec build

#

Shooty die get toughness

bitter turtle
indigo mural
#

gotcha, makes sense

bitter turtle
#

revolver already 1 or 2 taps everything

#

knife

#

well

#

you saw the I and the other person posted

rigid pilot
#

10 seconds is a real long time though

#

Has great uptime

#

Esp if you are degenerate and take (vet bruiser)

indigo mural
#

this is headshots I assume? And the yellow dot on the nurgle creature?

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

but keep in mind

#

its mor elike 10 or 15% more dmg

#

not 30%

#

still good though

#

but its important to know weak spot damage and critical damgae is not calculated the way you think i tis

#

so low values like 10% on weapon perks are usually not worth it

#

the way its calculated is that it only boosts the bonus damage portion

sinful swallow
#

It modified the difference between your weak point and normal hit

bitter turtle
#

so if you do 100 dmg on a bodyshot, 150 on a headshot

#

its not +15

#

if you had 10% weakspot damage

#

its only +5

#

10% of the bonus 50 damage you got

indigo mural
#

Yeah gotcha, good to know

bitter turtle
#

still

#

30% is a big enough number that its worthwhile

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

anything 30% or bigger is usually good enough

indigo mural
#

This build pretty much fits what I'd indeed like to have, now to get level 30 KEKW

bitter turtle
#

but idk them

rigid pilot
#

Powersword 2 shot crusher

thorn lark
bitter turtle
#

he mentioned shmaul but i still havent gotten much input about how everyone feels about cara/maniac on shmaul

thorn lark
#

Holy shit that's insane with high cleave weapons or just a db shotgun

rigid pilot
#

But you can get bonuses in other ways

indigo mural
#

I assume this is good?

bitter turtle
indigo mural
#

Straight from the website obviously

#

oh

bitter turtle
#

wtf are those perks

rigid pilot
#

Crucian KEKW_ogryn

indigo mural
bitter turtle
#

elite + maniac is the "optimal" setup

#

funnily enough

indigo mural
#

Invincible vet! hjahaha

rigid pilot
#

5% crit chance staregryn

indigo mural
#

It sounded cool mkay

bitter turtle
#

az shills crucian but he plays like a lunatic anyway with 1 bullet in his chamber from what it sounds like

#

surgical + handcannon is what most people run

rigid pilot
#

Gamelantern builds lmao

fiery wave
#

I run agri

coral willow
fiery wave
bitter turtle
fiery wave
#

Somewhat okay

rigid pilot
bitter turtle
#

everything else dies in 1 hit anyway so KEKW_ogryn

indigo mural
fiery wave
rigid pilot
#

Darktide needs more content than (weapon good weapon bad)

indigo mural
#

Does a gun not have 3 blessings or is that only Curious?

bitter turtle
#

10% elite
25% maniac

indigo mural
#

Curios

coral willow
indigo mural
#

idfk

#

Ahh

fiery wave
#

Trying people’s lunatic builds

bitter turtle
#

we talked about this

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

most people darent running exec WS

indigo mural
#

Well now to get lv30 Keksweat

bitter turtle
#

i have no idea where you got this idea from KEKW_ogryn

#

sneaky?

coral willow
#

i see it quite common sorry

fiery wave
#

Who handicaps themselves with exec

bitter turtle
#

i can believe sneaky running it

placid portal
#

helbor mk3 can technically 1 shot crushers KEKW_ogryn

bitter turtle
#

you know

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

exec doesnt proc WS right?

placid portal
#

Ye

coral willow
#

its not the build but p popular

bitter turtle
#

not that its untenable

#

but it makes it even more cringe

indigo mural
#

Hey uh, now I'm here do you got a Psyker build aswell hahaha

bitter turtle
#

you have to swap manually then press exec

#

lel

indigo mural
#

wrong channel I know, I'm a sinner

fiery wave
#

Is it the same group who says lacerate isn’t worse flesh tester

bitter turtle
#

so if you wanna play it

placid portal
#

Which is kinda dumb FS didn't do anything about that XD
