Special is pretty solid for it only costing 1 ammo

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean I could see that, though that's the same for any weapon specialist build

marble mantle
#

Prefer sluggy but still

tall torrent
#

But u can do really well with it

pastel yew
#

I guess I would feel more likely to actually use my ranged to proc melee specialist though

tall torrent
#

Because u have downtime if there’s no horde around

#

On WS Zarona the risk is fairly low

pastel yew
#

yeah that's fair, since you're gonna be lower on the range front

#

and its not like you have throwing knives to make the difference

tall torrent
#

Smoke helps tho

pastel yew
#

I can't use em, I can't see

#

myy eyees

marble mantle
#

I’ve actually been getting much better at using my smokes

pastel yew
#

just for the love of god dont throw them in the middle of everything PANIK

marble mantle
pastel yew
#

MY EYEES

#

its not so bad currently because literally no one in quick play uses smokes

last parcel
#

im about to quickplay with my smokes rn

pastel yew
#

and I've been vibing with exec stance

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I could get it

marble mantle
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

just dodge innit

#

or slide

tall torrent
#

That’s not all smoke does

pastel yew
#

what am I missing

tame lodge
marble mantle
pastel yew
#

loud ass smoke can't hear shit can't see shit

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I guess that's interesting

#

not sure I actually care for any of that though, I'd still only want them thrown far and out of the melee

#

mostly on lil gunner groups that aren't gonna be dealt with immediately

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

damage is so stacked, and sliding so broken that usually you can just kill everything

marble mantle
#

Honestly I think that if a mutant, poxburster, or hound is in the smoke, they should just target the last known location of the player

#

Would be so nice

tall torrent
#

Concealment status is what matters, not the visual smoke cloud itself

pastel yew
#

oh god, mutants diving at phantom players sounds rough

pastel yew
#

I mean I can read what it says I just don't know why I'd really wan't that most of the time

tall torrent
#

Smoke can still use a buff

#

Make it counter more specialists

pastel yew
#

enemies don't do enough damage and are easily avoided

#

which is why I say in gunner patch I'd get it

marble mantle
pastel yew
#

since then the lil shit muncher gunners were actually doing something

tall torrent
pastel yew
tall torrent
#

Or hounds

marble mantle
#

I wasn’t suggesting a nerf lol I just thought it would be a nice change

tall torrent
#

Or snipers

pastel yew
#

and post fire changes fire damage isn't that big

#

hounds and snipers are both slidable, dodgeable

tall torrent
#

It’s a defensive utility tool

pastel yew
#

dogs can be shoved or hit

tall torrent
pastel yew
marble mantle
pastel yew
#

honestly I'd settle for it just being less visually disruptive

#

or having that be one of the many non existent accessibility options

tall torrent
#

It’s a utility tool

pastel yew
#

but I can see at 100% through the shield

#

whereas the smokes are fucky

tall torrent
#

It is psyker shield but different flavour

pastel yew
#

mhm

marble mantle
#

Honestly I can still see through smoke pretty well when I’m in it, I’m surprised you can’t.

#

More so difficult when I’m outside of it

pastel yew
#

not really in the smoke I guess, I'm pretty agressive

#

so usually far to a flank

#

or sniping far back

marble mantle
#

Ahh

pastel yew
#

after returning

tall torrent
#

If you’re not inside smoke you get almost nothing out of the thrown smoke

pastel yew
#

less than nothing

#

because it blocks sight

#

again it'd be a nice accessibility option

last parcel
#

TALOS THE MIGHTY

#

TALOS THE UNASSAILABLE

pastel yew
#

would be nice if the smokes gave some kinda combat stim

#

I think sub nodes for grenade options would be dope

#

if the skill trees werent already so tight on points

tall torrent
#

Just make smoke counter more specialists

#

Make it so if you’re inside smoke, bombers can’t throw grenade on u

#

Mutant & Poxburster lose tracking and stay out

#

Stuff like that

pastel yew
#

you start running more and more of a risk of smite 2.0 though

#

the other problem child darktide has to me

tall torrent
#

Yea well

pastel yew
#

I guess it's more limited

pastel yew
#

vets grenade generation should probably be looked at

#

it aint loading

#

I'm guessing its damage related since ep mentioned

#

I think thats a group of ragers getting shit on

#

but even outside of the damage its the cc I dislike

tall torrent
#

It is what it is

pastel yew
#

its effectively just a combat off button which isn't fun

#

even if I do recognise it's strong and fun for the psyker I don't really wanna queue up to hit enemies that cant fight back... it aint really engaging

tall torrent
#

It’s not engaging or fun

pastel yew
#

exactly why I'd rather the smokes just do something else

#

maybe give them some heretic dot damage or something idk, something cool

#

or just a move/attack speed debuff to enemies inside of them

frank ether
#

with all the massive buffs its still a worse bubble

tall torrent
#

Shorter fuse & countering more specialists would be a good start

frank ether
#

but I do not want smoke buffed any further

#

if I could I'd rather have another offensive grenade

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

Make field engineer veteran dlc a reality

pastel yew
#

you already have great aoe and great single target

tall torrent
#

AT mines as blitz, deployable barbed wire as ult

pastel yew
#

tbf an empower psionics type keystone for grenades? would have went hard

frank ether
#

make tripmines or something

pastel yew
#

instead we got marksmans focus BelieverCry

tame lodge
frank ether
#

marksman focus because exe wasnt jank enough on its own

pastel yew
terse idol
#

Mines

pastel yew
#

not sure how marksmans focus got so fucked up

#

meant for precision shooting

#

real usage = full auto weapons

frank ether
#

It was design failure from day one

pastel yew
#

say it aint so

tall torrent
#

Exe stance wouldn’t be so bad
If it didn’t have the worst pathing in vet tree

pastel yew
#

depends on the build

frank ether
mortal orbit
pastel yew
#

but weakspot damage, more ammo, elite damage

#

all good

tall torrent
mortal orbit
#

There anyway to replicate this? Have a burst fire pistol seems dope.

pastel yew
pastel yew
#

it's boss damage

#

pew pew

frank ether
#

neither longshot nor killzone are good nodes

tall torrent
#

Worst pathing by far

frank ether
#

if you're taking it for boss damage

#

it means the boss is focusing someone else

pastel yew
#

also 10% crit on the first 10% of shots is like.. fine, if you're using las weapons

pastel yew
frank ether
#

if the boss is focusing someone else you don't need to build for giga boss damage

pastel yew
#

marksman further down

frank ether
#

its a win more build

tall torrent
pastel yew
#
  • exec stance + dash back on boss approach
#

you can do insane damage

#

like kill a boss with the cowboy revolver in 1 drum

tall torrent
#

It’s just by far the worst pathing in vet tree

pastel yew
#

not saying the right side is bad, just the left aint so bad

tall torrent
#

It is comparatively much worse than middle & right

pastel yew
#

I do fucking love grenadier on the right side

#

middle tree ehhh

#

but I think that's because I've gone off of shout

#

more a pref thing

tall torrent
#

Demo stock, tinkerer

pastel yew
#

full grenade build is so fun

#

back in my day before the keystones were attainable 👴

tall torrent
#

Meanwhile left top only good talent is catch a breath

frank ether
pastel yew
frank ether
#

gun has crazy unyielding and you have focus mark as veteran

midnight totem
#

anybody up for a game?

frank ether
#

maybe exe makes it guaranteed

tall torrent
#

Both Killzone and opening salvo need changes

frank ether
#

but going middle path on agri revolver

#

makes for a much safer build

#

thats more than a gimmick

#

how do I know? Agri revo is my most popular gun

pastel yew
#

catch a breath is good though it's competition node is like... worthless, no stun immunity and stamina when toughness broken

#

I guess that'd make blocking in melee feel less awful?

#

but I don't really block

tall torrent
frank ether
#

you use stamina for pushing and deadshot

tall torrent
#

Whereas catch a breath is literally toughness regen out of coherency

winter grove
#

Let's put an example

#

Mk4 ilas has about 100 bullets in mag

#

Takes 2 bullets to shoot

#

So effectively 50 shots

tall torrent
frank ether
#

catch a breath feels unneccessary on proper builds

#

on exe build you might need it though

#

because again exe is baby mode ult

tall torrent
winter grove
tall torrent
#

At max is 140 ammo

#

So 70 shots

frank ether
pastel yew
# winter grove Mk4 ilas has about 100 bullets in mag

I mean the mk2 recon has 100 and takes only 1 to shoot, also that 10% increased crit isn't effectively one shot because you have base crit + other crit modifiers + crit procs being multiple shots that all increase the ammount. also you don't reload aftera full empty mag, so that 10% is closer to 1/3 of your total shots depending on how tense things get

tall torrent
#

It allows u to challenge shooters in last man standing

#

Without having to pop VoC just for toughness

winter grove
#

IF it's crit

tall torrent
#

It also means that you can stray from ur team and still get toughness because none of them is getting plasteel

frank ether
#

Only on exe do I feel the need

pastel yew
# winter grove IF it's crit

I'd have to record one of my games but I think I could get through a whole damnation auric hisg without any ammo pickups with the mk2

#

crits not using ammo is huge

#

and thats not really being reserved

#

thats haha exec stance shoot everything that glows

tall torrent
frank ether
#

I'm a veteran not a psyker

#

unless I fucked up really badly in which case sure

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

absolute worst case where you're having to do all of the heavy lifting, and all I had to grab was 3 lights with both mediums wasting ammo over the max

#

opening salvo good

#

maybe super build specific

#

but not useless

#

also exec stance boss damage lmao

winter grove
#

And maybe Mk2 laspistol

tall torrent
winter grove
#

I don't think hellbores need it considering the ammo efficiency

pastel yew
#

I mean the 10% crit is also not the worst if you're using the zarona

#

like I said situational but strong

#

also mk2 laspistol my beloved

tall torrent
#

10% melee dmg -> agile engagement -> move speed aura -> 5% crit chance

winter grove
#

Zarona users tend to be WS builds from my experience

pastel yew
#

one of my favourite weapons

tall torrent
#

It’s so strong it’s like why wouldn’t u pick it

pastel yew
#

yeah for sure but if you're wanting to avoid it for something like... boss damage

#

then 10% + deadshot

#

it's not the worst

#

given you only need 2 crits to kill a crusher

#

or 1 with exec stance

winter grove
tall torrent
#

Exe stance just has bad pathing

winter grove
#

Shocktrooper is good but not for Hellbores and stuff

pastel yew
#

even if we say both of the nodes are trash

tall torrent
#

Helbore I’d take shock trooper because u don’t need survivalist on that gun either

pastel yew
#

exec stance is still worth it

winter grove
#

I am not sure about shocktrooper being unnecessary for Ilas

pastel yew
#

more bullets is always more good

#

ranged dps is just better than melee

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

and the more you can shoot, the less you need to conserve

winter grove
#

Other nodes win because they got better talents

pastel yew
#

any gun that is good hipfire is going to benefit from it the most

#

plus the damage boost

#

is no joke

#

it's significant

#

it's the glass cannon ability

tall torrent
#

Maybe 3

#

Generally 2

pastel yew
#

uhh I mean

#

boltgun, recons, mk7 headhunter

tall torrent
#

Not mk7 headhunter

pastel yew
#

exec stance has a pretty unique property of making mid guns

tall torrent
#

Not recons either

pastel yew
#

petter

radiant chasm
#

I dont run recon or mk7 with exec stance

tall torrent
#

Only 2 specific guns want exe stance

radiant chasm
#

Mk7 im shouting and recons i’m sneaking

pastel yew
#

why wouldnt you, it helps make the one shot breakpoint on mk7 way more consistently

pastel yew
#

plus the damage boost and hipfire accuracy boost are huge steroids to the recons

radiant chasm
#

Surgical DA

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

Deadshot

winter grove
tall torrent
pastel yew
radiant chasm
radiant chasm
#

It’s not rng

#

And it’s a single shot

pastel yew
#

its rng if you're shooting quick enough no?

radiant chasm
#

Just grab duck and dive if that scares you

radiant chasm
serene bough
#

exe doodoo

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

If you are shooting quick dont go mk7 just go CIAG

pastel yew
#

first shit is pinpoint accurate

radiant chasm
#

First shit

#

Nah just go surgical DA

#

It’s a DMR

tall torrent
#

But it doesn’t need exe stance to work

#

U can get all of its major breakpoints without

pastel yew
#

also without other buffs which you will always have

#

you dont need opening salvo active to one shot flamers with exec stance

radiant chasm
#

With deadshot it means waiting for even less surgical stacks

pastel yew
#

I literally just now tested it

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

Why go exec stance just to use subpar blessings

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

It really isn’t

tall torrent
#

Exe stance doesn’t magically give u 700 more dmg on Vraks 7 to get a non-crit flamer 1HS

radiant chasm
#

What meaningful breakpoints does exec give that you can’t get elsewhere easier

#

Ie focus target

winter grove
pastel yew
#

10s

tall torrent
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

doing it in

#

the psykanium

#

right now

winter grove
#

Longshot?

tall torrent
radiant chasm
pastel yew
#

I mean that's fair but without it ragers aren't really all that nice of a kill

winter grove
pastel yew
#

and I dislike not being able to fuck up ragers very quickl

serene bough
radiant chasm
#

Mk7 HH doesnt benefit from exec stance nor is it a good marksman weapon either imo

serene bough
#

only for niche stuff

radiant chasm
#

And by doesnt benefit

winter grove
#

Buff Mg12 damage please fatshark

pastel yew
#

I mean I'm gonna post it again

#

this is exec stance recon

#

you can say it's not good

#

but numbers do not lie

radiant chasm
#

It doesnt need exec to hit breakpoints that would otherwise be impossible to hit

pastel yew
#

it's absurd

radiant chasm
#

Lol

#

That’s not exec stance

#

That’s recon and being a competent gamer

serene bough
#

are we posting scoreboards

#

i love big numbers

radiant chasm
#

Ive hit 800k with pre buff chain axe

pastel yew
#

fucking love big numbers

#

total damage is a bad stat though

#

since most damage is done to pox walkers

#

only numbers that matter are elite/disablers/specials killed

#

and ammo used I guess

serene bough
#

i think this is my biggest number

tall torrent
serene bough
#

big number activates brain neurons

radiant chasm
#

It’s literally just recon and holding down m1

#

Imo focus target build would do roughly the same thing

pastel yew
serene bough
#

this is with MF Mg4 las

pastel yew
serene bough
#

the superior iLas

radiant chasm
#

Like

pastel yew
#

also part of es is that it improves accuracy

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

With recons

pastel yew
#

open up the psykanium and hipfire with and without it

radiant chasm
#

Improved accuracy

#

With recons

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

Anyone who thinks focus target has a cooldown is using it wrong

pastel yew
#

sure it has no cooldown but its less effective the more often you use it

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

also you can take both

radiant chasm
#

Improved accuracy with the most accurate hoses in the game

tall torrent
#

If u kill the enemy within 2s of tag, it gets reset to 2 stacks

radiant chasm
#

You said marksman exec mk7

tall torrent
#

So you’re very literally meant to tag & kill as fast as u possibly can

pastel yew
#

i dont care about accuracy for the mk7

radiant chasm
#

Mk7 doesn’t need accuracy either

tall torrent
#

You’re never supposed to wait for stacks

radiant chasm
#

Imo agri brauto uses exec better than mk7

pastel yew
#

mk2 recon las I do though, lets you move while being 100% accurate

tall torrent
#

And FT is usually taken for breakpoints

pastel yew
#

it's just an aim dif at that point

radiant chasm
tall torrent
#

U take FT + redirect fire because u play plasma / helbore

pastel yew
#

because you'll never get fucked by spread

#

idk I don't think the buffs are insignificant

tall torrent
#

Hipfire?

pastel yew
#

and the alternatives I don't massively care fore

pastel yew
#

it's not a great deal but at distance its enough to make headshots not headshots

radiant chasm
#

Why are you hipfiring

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

That goes back to subpar play to justify talents

pastel yew
#

AINT NO WAY YOU BELIEVE THAT

tall torrent
#

When you could get much better nodes elsewhere in the tree

frank ether
#

I use a little bit of recon on psyker now

pastel yew
#

hipfire is superior movement and better vision

frank ether
#

I use baby bubble shieldd and brain burst

radiant chasm
#

You dont ads mk7 you dont ads recons

frank ether
#

and throw recon vld in there

pastel yew
#

it's just harder to aim but if you can aim there is no downside

radiant chasm
#

It doesn’t matter

#

Lol

frank ether
#

my only problem is my psyker build is the very low base stamina lol

#

always feel like I need to throw one stam curio

radiant chasm
#

What are you on

pastel yew
#

it fucks with your sights

radiant chasm
#

Darktide tries extremely hard not to be tunnelvision

pastel yew
#

with I guess isn't a problem if you're using a crosshair mod that lets you project

#

also hipfire has inate suppression resistance

radiant chasm
tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

You literally have suppression immunity right below exec stance

pastel yew
tall torrent
pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

Dude just belial up in here

pastel yew
#

1 less skill point is one more point somewhere else

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

If you have suppression issue take it, if not don’t

#

Not hard

pastel yew
#

but you don't have a suppression issue if you hipfire

#

its part of why the plasma guns so degen

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

it's just built into the gun

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

you're still 100% accurate under fire

tall torrent
#

Plasma is very specifically suppression immune baseline

#

Most guns are not

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

Like i main agri brauto since launch vet

tall torrent
swift ingot
#

Laspistol for life

pastel yew
swift ingot
radiant chasm
serene bough
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

which is true for both weapons

tall torrent
#

Only 3 non-Ogryn guns are completely immune to suppression

swift ingot
pastel yew
#

I've one tapped gunners before while being suppressed with the hipfire on the mk7

#

the first shot of a sequence

#

is 100% accurate

#

always

radiant chasm
#

Hipfiring recons so you have mroe spread so you get the ability that reduces your spread 100% move of all time

#

Or you just use it as a DMR and pop heads with surgical

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

because your firing is hitting

radiant chasm
#

Ndhshshshdhhdh

#

Okay im going to go take a shower

#

This shit too silly

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

get yourself a mk7 out, mid range

tall torrent
#

It’s not

radiant chasm
#

I double tap dodge

#

And then i shoot them in the head

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

unless there is something fucky

#

specifically about that gun

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

on the enemy

#

compare it with ads

#

it's just significantly better

radiant chasm
#

Sneezet

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

I simply don’t see the point of hipfiring

#

I dont have issues aiming

#

Hell even if i go straight mid tree and don’t get suppression immunity

tall torrent
#

However

radiant chasm
#

I have 0 issue moving head to head

pastel yew
coral willow
#

hipfiring is cool.

tall torrent
#

This perfect 1st shot Hipfire accuracy

pastel yew
#

because zoomed out

#

also hipfiring is cool

#

also you have a higher fov

#

which means you can see more

radiant chasm
#

Hipfiring doesnt proc surgical or deadshot

tall torrent
#

Is only available when the crosshair is not expanded from suppression

radiant chasm
#

I have the highest fov setting already

pastel yew
#

you either take those and aim

tall torrent
#

When it is expanded, you don’t have perfect hipfire accuracy

pastel yew
#

or you don't and dont

radiant chasm
#

If i wanted to hipfire

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

Id play plasma or brauto

tall torrent
pastel yew
winter grove
#

BRAUTO GANG

pastel yew
#

or some settings tweaked

winter grove
tall torrent
#

It’s not like Zarona’s Hipfire where it’s actually completely unaffected by suppression

pastel yew
#

I didnt add anything to the scoreboard just removed some stuff I thought was pointless to track

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

shame the hipfires not ideal

#

is the laspistol hipfire also immune or what

#

because the actual firing accuracy is unchanged regardless of suppression

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

laspistol & helbore both have minimal suppression

pastel yew
#

wait as a question

#

are you going entirely off of the crosshair?

#

or do you have some more substancial reasoning for believing the hipfire is affected

inland orchid
pastel yew
#

because I don't think I've ever missed a mk7 shot while in suppression

#

but if it is innacurate a slight amount of the time there should be missed shots

tall torrent
#

However

#

Because it’s like

#

Only a fraction of a second where it’s expanded

#

It’s hard for me to time it in a recording

inland orchid
winter grove
pastel yew
#

I just did 10 runs at mid range and not one miss

winter grove
#

Okay bad example because ilas 1a is a good gun

pastel yew
#

might be too small of a sample size but

tall torrent
winter grove
pastel yew
#

outside of a couple ranged and melee elites and a handful of disablers

#

it might be down to timing

#

but I'm not really convinced

#

also if you switch back to your laspistol and hipfire down range

#

you'll see the spread doesn't noticeably increase on any of your shots

#

while under the effects of suppression

tall torrent
#

first shot miss (expanded crosshair)

tall torrent
#

2nd shot hit proves that if the first shot wasn't expanded spread it would have hit

pastel yew
#

im pretty sure that's just you missing chief

tall torrent
#

no

pastel yew
#

he sways off to the side

tall torrent
#

2nd shot hit

pastel yew
#

yes because his head is moving

tall torrent
#

I didn't fire at him before this 1st shot

pastel yew
#

shot 1 misses as he sways to the right

#

shot 2 connects a she sways back

#

you can see his whole shoulders shifting even if its unclear on the head

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

is it on his head? right on the very edge maybe

#

taken as close as I could before the shot

#

also at this range your crosshair is 1/4th the area of his head

#

or a lil below that

#

also gross you can see the crosshair has square edges

#

whyy

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

yeah I just don't think the shot connected

#

I mean it's pretty melty on the pixels but you can see it's right on the edge and he'd be moving more to the right

#

there's enough uncertainty there

#

I doubt because in my experience I've never missed that and thought "man I should have hit there"

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

though the game does steal your shots ...

tall torrent
#

I just checked on helmet Hitbox

#

Edge counts as hit

pastel yew
#

yeah I'm not... I get that the helmet is included

#

this screenshot is as close as I could get with play+pause to before the shot

#

and he's moving off to the left

#

part of your crosshair is already not on his helmet

tall torrent
#

For the most part u can say that it’s very accurate

pastel yew
#

true

#

I'll settle for that

tall torrent
#

With some uncertainty on very long range shots under continuous suppression from multiple gunners

pastel yew
#

besides this anyway, I feel the laspistol not gaining any additional spread while being suppressed already shows that theres not really an increase if at all

#

compared to ads

#

which is quite noticeable

tall torrent
#

Laspistol is just minimal suppression in general

#

Both ads & hipfire

pastel yew
#

yeah especially when compared to the zarona

tall torrent
#

There’re only 5 non-Ogryn gun types that are completely immune to suppression

pastel yew
#

I guess it needed some weakness

tall torrent
#

Flamer
Plasma
Combat shotgun
Assault shotgun
Autopistol

pastel yew
#

flamer makes sense I guess

winter grove
#

Wait are y'all still on this

pastel yew
#

what do you mean by combat and assualt shotguns

tall torrent
#

No extra sway, no extra spread

pastel yew
#

ah I see, I'm not used to their names

tall torrent
#

Nothing

pastel yew
#

I forget the new shotgun has a new naim

winter grove
pastel yew
tall torrent
#

Combat shotgun is Lawbringer/agripinaa/kantrael

#

Assault shotgun is double barrel

pastel yew
#

yeah and the assualts the new one

#

I didn't know they were immune to suppression on ads though

#

I knew the hipfire was fine

#

because I've done similar things to the mk7 with the slug

#

which is also 100% hipfire accurate for some reason

#

the whims of FS I guess

#

not that I'm complaining

tall torrent
#

All Ogryn guns & psyker staves are suppression immune

pastel yew
#

yeah though they can't exactly ADS

#

maybe I've just noticed correlation and assumed it was the rule

#

but every gun that isn't being affected by suppression does so when not ADS

tall torrent
#

Because ofc a Psyker should be less afraid of getting shot at than a veteran

pastel yew
#

Necoarcnerd its because they have high willpower

#

also honestly maybe the psykers fine with being shot

#

sounds like a miserable life

#

or as that one great british general or ... whatever guy once said

#

"why duck! the shot has already missed you!"

#

also holy shit... since the psyk was already set up figured I'd test some more stuff

#

your ads is not accurate while being suppressed

#

even if you overcome the suppression and have it right on their head

#

whyyy

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

nah on the mk7

#

not tried the recon

tall torrent
#

Recon ADS has both +sway and shot deviation when suppressed

#

All 3 recon lasguns suffer from this

pastel yew
#

doesn't seem so bad on the recon

#

though it is sort of a useful example as you can see your shots missing

#

with the laser tracers

#

Maybe one day we’ll get exe stance auto reload back

pastel yew
#

never gonna happen

thorn lark
#

rip sustained fire

tall torrent
# pastel yew 🤤

I think they took it out just because veteran was magdumping Boltgun 30 rounds in 1 go

#

And Boltgun was turbo broken back then

#

Or maybe it’s because it would make tac awareness extra busted on exe stance or smth

#

Keep killing specialists to never have to reload

pastel yew
#

they took the baby out with the bathwayer

#

and then tossed the tub

tall torrent
#

If exe stance has auto reload rn I think I’d play Boltgun more

pastel yew
#

the pinning fire nerf was enough

#

I mean it's about the only thing that makes the boltgun itself fun for me because of the ads stability and making breakpoints

thorn lark
#

i liked the get toughness back fron sustained fire, i could have regen tg on ul like my zealot or psyker

pastel yew
#

I'm sure I could get a build together that regularly one taps all the specialists but I'm not sure I care enough to do so when exec stance exists, click head head head head

#

I think the main drawback of exec stance is the fact it gives you no safety

pastel yew
#

even stealth gives all your toughness

#

god its so satisfying until you remember alot of other weapons do that exact same thing

#

boltguns so sad in this game, at least they nailed the sound

#

funny because that exact set up is what you need to kill exactly one pox hound BelieverCry

thorn lark
#

magdump > go stealth > reload > magdump

pastel yew
#

mag dump is just too ammo expensive

#

maybe its not so bad now with the ammo increase

#

from 80/100 reserve to 100/125

coral willow
#

exe tree is wierd when itys the only keystone in vet's arsenal that doesnt give you stamina and work with deadshot kek

thorn lark
#

unless it's a horde of crushers

pastel yew
#

wtf its literally in the vet tree

coral willow
#

ammo increase kinda thrw that out of the window and magdumping a boss is pretty much worth it

pastel yew
#

fs: best we can do is adding ANOTHER node to exec stance clueless

coral willow
#

especialyl when your team is a idiot

tall torrent
#

thank u brunt, very cool

coral willow
#

3mag-ing a boss is pretty worth it

pastel yew
#

god damn

#

that is

#

actually a real good weapon from him

#

even 4% crit is nice

thorn lark
#

i play bolter zealot most of the time, i don't feel bad about magdumping on bosses on crushers... in can still snipe reliably

pastel yew
#

they're chilling

#

many weapons and kraks if nothing else in your kit is good at it

#

the mk6 power sword push does too much damage to bosses

coral willow
#

eh

pastel yew
#

its ludicrous

tall torrent
#

thank u brunt, very cool (again)

coral willow
#

idiots trying to use

thorn lark
#

well yeah you need to learn how to cancel draw and do the ads reset thingy

coral willow
#

plasma span and somehow dealing less damage than me

pastel yew
#

even though they're tanky af to bolter shells

pastel yew
#

it's not terrible

#

like its fine

thorn lark
#

it helps a fucking lot

pastel yew
#

I havent really experimented with the bolter much on zealot

thorn lark
#

cavalcade is for piety only

pastel yew
#

but now all my other weapons on zealot are bricked... BelieverCry I should give it a go

tall torrent

#

for whatever reason my head totally skipped it as an option

#

oh it says right there -_-

#

the mk 15 evis feels so much better than the og

#

and I already loved the og

#

it just.. got a straight upgrade

tall torrent
#

EV15 is ok

#

But mk4 Chainaxe is better chadgryn

pastel yew
#

I can't get behind them

#

they don't really feel that much better at killing single targets

#

also them being one handed

#

is so sad

tall torrent
#

Mk4 Chainaxe post-buff is prob the best chain weapon in this game

pastel yew
#

they look so chodey

#

I've not used em since the buff

coral willow
pastel yew
#

I've seen some vets take em but not really been convinced

#

though most auric players are... not great

tall torrent
#

Forgot full details

#

But it’s basically the best chain weapon rn

thorn lark
#

boltgun bad right

tall torrent
#

Purely because it’s the only chain weapon with a single target moveset that has low risk

pastel yew
#

it's not bad

#

honestly outside of it's infested damage being stupidly low, and it's sway being way too high

#

they're pretty good

thorn lark
#

i put the taxe in the same category

#

the there is probably better option overall

coral willow
#

i use it it on momentum relic build

thorn lark
#

but if you know what you can do, and you don't try to use it for something else... well it works

pastel yew
#

I'd use the taxe if I could hold lmb to keep swinging, honestly it's just tiring on your finger compared the the rashad. I had to install a mod to use the laspistol because my meds at the time made clicking with it kill my joints

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

maybe I'll give em a go, since rashad is currently best axe and vet uses that better

tall torrent
#

Rashad is best melee overall

thorn lark
pastel yew
#

probably gonna try the new shock mauls out first though, they seem dope just have no coins to buy em

#

spent all my coins testing with the bolt pistol and bolt gun

lusty sapphire
tall torrent
#

The thing with chainaxe tho is that they can actually 1 shot crushers without FotF for zealot

#

And u can light spam on mk4 for single target

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

And zealot has +stagger talents so u can reach stagger breakpoint for breaking rager combo

tall torrent
#

U want headtaker + slaughterer on it

pastel yew
#

meanwhile psyker with mk4 dueling almost one shotting crushers on crit

tall torrent
#

And carapace I believe

thorn lark
tall torrent
thorn lark
#

against dreg ragers?

#

MULTIPLE dregs?

tall torrent
#

Having an option to break rager combo without using ability is good

pastel yew
thorn lark
#

yeah fuck them

pastel yew
#

to completely negate armor

#

honestly crusher hordes are a joke to that weapon

thorn lark
#

i shout and just destroy them on the floor

pastel yew
#

you might be able to actually hit the break point for one shotting crushers with a crit.. though you'd likely have to build for it specifically

thorn lark
#

yeah but 3 is not the problem

pastel yew
#

not really worth it when you can just heavy again

tall torrent
#

A lot of them yea use ability

thorn lark
#

it's 3+ and + is other ragers or a horde

#

i mean, i can solo up to 5 ragers with a claw

#

in the psyk

#

in real game, yeah fuck that

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

This is somehow the most effective way to deal with them

rigid pilot
tall torrent
#

I hate it here

rigid pilot
#

Rashad op?

pastel yew
#

because you parry the first hit and get immediately hit by the second

#

its so silly

pastel yew
#

you have to spot the attack, vlock the first then immediately parry

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

What a Chad weapon

thorn lark
#

so antax > rashad

pastel yew
#

maybe not op op

#

but like

#

it's incredibly strong

rigid pilot
#

Decently strong with attack speed

tall torrent
#

Not by much

thorn lark
#

but easier to roll

rigid pilot
#

Doesn't the push attack has no damage cleave at all

#

At least I heard people yapping

thorn lark
#

that's your average joe combat axe

pastel yew
#

what even is the push attack for antax

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

Swipe

thorn lark
#

trying to get the perfect rashad cost me millions

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

It comes out a bit faster than Rashad but not by much

thorn lark
tall torrent
#

Rashad is smack with blunt edge

rigid pilot
#

It's less horizontal

tall torrent
#

Antax is a slash

pastel yew
#

ahh I see

#

hows the rashad costing you millions

#

its one of the easiest weapons to get

#

since you dont even need the t4 blessings

#

they're marginally stronger than t3s

thorn lark
#

you want the blessings and the modifiers and the perks

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

how like... tight on stats are you? perfect rolls 370+ kinda stats or?

tall torrent
#

If u haven’t realized that’s 4/5 high stats, 3/4 specific roll with the 4th having a BiS

thorn lark
#

i have 80*4 with bm4, ht3 and flak + whatever on zealot

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

I've rasHad enough of god rolling items

tall torrent
#

But u also need 2 specific blessings and 1 specific perk

#

Or it doesn’t function nearly as good as it should

terse idol
#

Iirc it might be easier to build rashad for zealot?

crude fiber
#

stability and collateral don't matter, mobility high enough for the 4th dodge, pretty good for a 303 lol

terse idol
#

But it's very tight for vet

pastel yew
#

one of the few weapons I actually got out pretty well

thorn lark
pastel yew
#

I dont think unarmored is massively imporant though

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

its only really mutants

#

that suck

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

if you headshot them youre chilling

#

but if you can't its big depression

tall torrent
#

Because it’s for scab bruiser 1HS

terse idol
#

For cleave

tall torrent
#

Rashad is hard because it’s breakpoint minmax hell

pastel yew
terse idol
#

This is why you need to have unarmoured + BM

#

For this specific breakpoint

pastel yew
thorn lark
terse idol
#

Also wdym you're not fuckig with scab bruisers in melee

#

They're like as common as a pox walker

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

bruisers are a fucking pain

pastel yew
#

I'm already thinking the weapon is absurd in the state I have it... if it gets significantly better than that then jesus christ PANIK

rigid pilot
#

Obviously you get to choose what enemies you fight chadgryn

terse idol
#

Because it turns from you killing 1 scab brusier

#

0 cleabe

#

Into 4 scab brusiers

pastel yew
#

I mean if that's all I'm gaining then meh

terse idol
#

In one swing

pastel yew
#

just blast em

#

pew pew

terse idol
#

No it's not meh

pastel yew
#

I mean why wouldn't it be meh if the alternative is easy!

terse idol
#

It's why you have the melee weapon in the first place

pastel yew
#

group of mean lookin stinkers, press q, press left mouse on head

#

they dead as hell

tall torrent
terse idol
#

Because it has insane cleave and a strong BP on a crusher

rigid pilot
#

It's okay just get the other 3 players to deal with bruisers, it's a team game uwugryn

thorn lark
#

a horde of bruisers is real pain and real dangerous

pastel yew
thorn lark
#

because if you don't kill them fast they will tank you

pastel yew
#

honestly I think the rager enemies have always been fine

#

controversial take

thorn lark
#

and fuck you or drain your stam

terse idol
#

I just don't think you actually want to shoot most melee trash mobs

pastel yew
#

I think they were fine even before they got nerfed

#

and their spawn count gimped

terse idol
#

Scab bruiser included

pastel yew
#

people complained too hard on that

thorn lark
#

until the trappers or the dogs come

rigid pilot
#

Spoken like a true plasma main

#

Ragers are overrated pewpewpew

terse idol
pastel yew
#

because their health was reduced

terse idol
#

More attack speed

pastel yew
rigid pilot
#

Doesn't matter if you use plasma

pastel yew
#

I'm talking many many moons ago

terse idol
#

Yes the hp changss

pastel yew
terse idol
#

Which also, changed the spawn rate

#

If I recaalll

rigid pilot
#

Nah maniac ragers take 15% more damage to the head now

#

Like straight up weaker

pastel yew
#

currently my vet has 8 different weapons for ranged that are kitted

pastel yew
#

I will admit

#

they could spawn in some pretty goofy numbers...

#

but I thought it was funny

#

they were a joke enemy after that change for ages

terse idol
pastel yew
#

and they're still not ideal

tall torrent
#

The current Dreg ragers need spawn reduced

rigid pilot
#

Just kill them faster then!!

coral willow
pastel yew
#

though I am a bit of a sadist, I enjoyed the mad gunner damage we had

terse idol
#

They're simply trying to make them different to Scab Ragers

#

Hence the AS change

pastel yew
#

it looks like a funny pirate hand

#

when you're holding it

#

no hand, big blade instead

terse idol
#

But anyways, minmaxed recipticle very good

#

Rashb

rigid pilot
#

RushB

pastel yew
#

I've heard the shovels are pretty dope but

#

honestly I'm not really seeing what they bring that other weapons dont

#

I guess I should probably build one of the funny one shot mega thrust shovels

#

but the regular ones seem kinda eh... not bad just no real strong identity

terse idol
#

Sapper shovel with thrust

#

The regular shovel is pretty good Horde Control

tall torrent
terse idol
#

That's it's whole deal, also decent defense

tall torrent
#

However the new shock mauls are kinda just better?

rigid pilot
#

It has the highest dodge count in the game

#

6

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I guess that's fair, though if I wanted to knock poxwalkers down and not kill them I'd use a thunder hammer dawg

rigid pilot
#

Shovel smooving

pastel yew
rigid pilot
#

Take a shovel and dodge

#

6/6 owo

#

The standard issue

pastel yew
#

ducking and weaving

#

I'm glad the weapons we got this patch are all generally pretty good

#

bolt pistol was top of my list for weapon inclusions forever

#

I know a lot of people were not happy at getting shovels constantly

#

lmao

tall torrent
pastel yew
rigid pilot
#

Not 6?

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

there's a +1 dodge count somewhere... that might be a psyker skill though

#

yeah

I definitely recall 6

max 5

still 5 is quite high

Is close range a bug or intended

Did fatshark intend that one beast of nurgle throwing me off the start of the new map I wonder

rigid pilot
#

In the forums the moderators noted it as "acknowledged" as a bug but the recent hotfix said it was intended

tall torrent
#

Btw the shock mauls’ heavy overhead atks have the same cleave as heavy sweeps

the boltgun recoil sway bug was acknowledged over a year ago

Up to 11.1
