Veteran is the “do everything” class

idle pecan
#

Pmao

tall torrent
#

If u want a ranged class that’s Psyker

junior needle
#

I think zealot should be buffed appropriately thumbsup_ogryn

idle pecan
#

Vet went from being the best, to the worst. Back to the best

elder fiber
#

zealot has conditional buffs, vet has a lot up 24/7 and then stuff like the dmg after ult buffs

umbral scaffold
#

Psyker is not a ranged class, it's also a do everything class chadgryn

elder fiber
#

vet was never the worst

gilded wraith
#

Max ranged damage class ogryn or psyker?

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

vet has stable melee dmg and zealot has burst melee dmg

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

so yeah, zealot is the assault class

gilded wraith
#

Zealot with dueling sword would be humorous.

elder fiber
#

give it to vet for all the commisar cosplayers

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

it's not like sustainable assault or momentum

#

ok martyrdom gives you dmg, but at a price

tall torrent
#

Sustained assault is pretty much always up it’s literally headtaker lite

hearty panther
#

no its better

tall torrent
#

Vet with 3 red nodes is +20% power, +15% close Dmg and +10% dmg

thorn lark
#

so that may explain my experience

tall torrent
idle pecan
#

Does weapon specialist worj

#

I saw that the crit only applies to the first shot

tall torrent
#

And it’s still really strong

idle pecan
#

So you get 5 seconds of the first shot being a crit

umbral scaffold
idle pecan
#

I thought it was 5s of crits

#

💀

#

5s of crits sounds busted now that I think about it

elder fiber
#

5 seconds of crit on columnus would be pretty funny

umbral scaffold
#

With kinetic deflection, half a second of stamina delay and goated finesse weapons, psyker does very well in the thick of things

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

All it asks in return is a more aware player because psyker's defense is very polar

tall torrent
#

Never said psyker is bad in melee or anything

#

Psyker’s melee is so strong he only has like 4 melee weapons

umbral scaffold
#

Taking toughness and health values, and even certain defensive nodes on psyker, their defenses are kind of ass

#

The moment the player starts making solid use of KD, dodges and the stamina delay to abuse pushes, psyker is a murder machine disguised as a bar of soap

stiff glacier
#

Psyker is the glass cannon

umbral scaffold
#

I can't do justice to the amount of times I just danced through a crowd completely immune to damage

stiff glacier
#

And then got hit 2 time by pox walker and died

gilded rock
#

Kinetic deflection letting me tank a mauler overhead:

stiff glacier
#

Kinetic deflection is definitely large part of it

#

Altho

#

I have used it the least

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

Maybe I should go keystoneless again

tall torrent
bold belfry
#

Bolter so good when you don't have a bitch in your ear telling you it's bad

stiff glacier
#

I use keystones only in 1 build with vet

#

Cant afford them in any others

tall torrent
stiff glacier
#

1 is just shotgun exec stance build, plasma gun grenade spam build, "normal" exec stance build with lasgun and the stealth melee focus vet

marble mantle
#

Mmmmmmm weapon specialist

hearty panther
#

no one wants to admit their shots are short

marble mantle
#

Make me go ooh la la ooh yeah

tall torrent
stiff glacier
#

Only my squadleader has the target tagging keystones

#

Mostly cus its almost entirely middle tree

tall torrent
#

Plasma wants FT for breakpoints

marble mantle
#

🤯

stiff glacier
#

With left side for ammo

tall torrent
marble mantle
#

How many times am I gonna get a train ran on me trying to get this rashad bro

#

Every single one has either been 300 or 360 with dump stat first target

#

I’m gonna

tall torrent
#

Just save resources for when crafting update drops lol

stiff glacier
#

Basically entire middle tree but after voc i take left side weakspot damage and extra spare ammo

marble mantle
junior haven

#

I got time to kill

#

And weapons to obtain

Ive just found plasma doesnt feel to require anything building around

marble mantle
#

Since you told me too

#

I’m a good soldier

tall torrent
#

U can make a good shock maul for way cheaper than Rashad

bold belfry
#

Yes the weapon that can delete anything infront of you is bad, amazing take thank you reddit

marble mantle
#

Already got a good shock maul

#

Gonna work on chaxe4

tall torrent
#

If ur going for chainaxe, it’s kinda better on zealot imo

#

It fits zealot’s needs more than veteran’s needs

marble mantle
#

I am shrimply a vet

#

Doing vet things

#

Yk what I’ll take a clip of all my weapons and u can tell me what I should get next out of my options

idle swallow
#

Going mk4 chainsword with rampage/shred is always a favorite of mine

umbral scaffold
#

Ironically my strongest vet build didn't use keystones

#

I would make the path to melee attack speed, tactical awareness and elite damage

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

Also would get longshot, out for blood, extra krak nades

tall torrent
#

Why longshot

umbral scaffold
tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

Idk I like longshot for the funny damage

tall torrent
#

You do realize that longshot got nerfed and it’s basically not worth taking anymore right

austere mica
#

I never liked longshot anyway

#

Something that relies on distance in this game is super unreliable

umbral scaffold
#

Usually when you start a question with "you do realize", you already have the answer

austere mica
#

I also hate Killzone but the alternative is somehow worse

umbral scaffold
#

But no, I wasn't aware it got nerfed, or how it did

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

Far as I remember, it helped me one-shot reapers

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

I'm on my phone

tall torrent
#

Yea u can make the talent tree in gameslantern

#

Besides

#

If u needed longshot of all things to 1 tap reaper

#

Focus target would have done the same

umbral scaffold
#

But I don't want to because my phone already shits itself from typing

tall torrent
#

So idk how keystoneless makes it better

umbral scaffold
#

Focus target is annoying to use

tall torrent
#

Take redirect fire

umbral scaffold
#

I'm not a fan of tagging for damage tbh

tall torrent
#

It’s still better than longshot of all things

umbral scaffold
#

It makes me feel pressured to tag everything I'm about to shoot instead of just shooting

tall torrent
#

If u take redirect fire u don’t need to tag every single enemy to still maintain breakpoint

#

U just tag the important ones

umbral scaffold
#

But I need to tag occasionally and I'm still forced to tag, as opposed to tagging for convenience or to warn teammates

tall torrent
#

Just tag stuff naturally and you get benefits

umbral scaffold
#

The more I play the game, the less I tag, ironically

#

I just "he's there, pew" and move on

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

And ideally, if I can tag the enemy, I have line of sight for a shot

#

It's a weird development for the mechanic

tall torrent
#

Even still you can just have redirect fire give the breakpoint by playing normally

#

I just don’t see how longshot can be better unless u specifically refuse to tag anything which is definitely one of the choices of all time

fresh moth
#

I’m new, whats the point of the veteran and what strategy I should try to follow?

umbral scaffold
#

If I want to keep redirect fire up, I need to tag constantly and have the tag die, which I find inconvenient

tall torrent
#

Or tag it and teammates kill it

#

I don’t see how it can be so inconvenient

umbral scaffold
#

Longshot is always active past a certain distance, which is usually when I get specials

tall torrent
#

Longshot is also way less dmg most of the time

umbral scaffold
#

I just need the damage I find necessary chadgryn

tall torrent
#

Then yea redirect fire is better

#

Works at all ranges, very passive benefit

umbral scaffold
#

But I don't find its damage worth the inconvenience

tall torrent
#

What’s so inconvenient about tagging smth once every 10s

umbral scaffold
#

It makes the game less enjoyable to me

bold belfry
umbral scaffold
#

I don't want to track seconds in the back of my head

elder fiber
#

you don't have to track anything

umbral scaffold
#

I want to click the funny guy on my screen

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

I do if I don't tag everything

tame lodge
umbral scaffold
#

A lot of times I just shoot and move on, because to me the tag serves the function of seeing the outline, or calling a target out to people

tall torrent
austere mica
#

Vets general roll is shooting important things, or having cracked melee for some reason (if you build it)

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

If those two aren't necessary, I often don't tag and just surgically remove someone's head

tall torrent
#

Or if you’re used to tagging stuff

umbral scaffold
#

I have it on T

thorn lark
#

m2 tagging is better

umbral scaffold
#

I used to tag a lot, but eventually I realized I didn't need to compulsively tag

austere mica
#

I tag on side mouse

thorn lark
#

block, tag, riposte, kill

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

My mouse is LMB for shooties, RMB for aimies, back side for keep swinging and front side for special

tall torrent
#

I have mine on 3

tame lodge
tall torrent
thorn lark
austere mica
#

Yes

#

But they can't do that yet

tall torrent
#

Veteran’s job is rly just “kill everything as fast as u can”

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

I got used to playing dueling sword psyker, so I internalized rushing at anything glowing in the dark and poking its head

thorn lark
tall torrent
#

I have mine binded to number 3

#

It’s very easily reachable regardless of what I’m doing

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

i use it for junping

tall torrent
#

I have jump on a mouse side button

thorn lark
#

and i was already using the mouse button is vermintide

tall torrent
#

Just because it’s so underutilized in this game

#

Only times I jump are to mantle over stuff

umbral scaffold
#

I use jump and dodge in the same key and the mod to stop dodge jumps

#

I used to have dodge and crouch on spacebar

#

It was an experience

#

Apparently it actually breaks iframes

thorn lark
#

also i have a lot of hours in darktide and i don't think i will be able to unlearn that side mouse button is for dodges

thorn lark
#

like waaaaay less

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah, I think the effect that cuts enemy targeting on you gets nullified when crouching

#

I was eating so much shit with it

#

I also put crouch on alt

#

I needed to stop pathologically sliding

#

Now I only slide forward

tall torrent
#

LAlt sprint, C crouch/slide, space dodge

thorn lark
#

so you slide away from sliding

umbral scaffold
#

The downside is it's harder for me to crouch behind cover when needed

#

But honestly it barely comes up in matches

#

Easier to turn around and sprint or slide

#

If I'm taking damage, it just means I'm not close enough to shove a sword in someone's mouth

#

Non-sexually in Minecraft

thorn lark
tall torrent
#

Just make a keybind where u can do everything u need to do with ease

marble mantle
#

Every single action on left click

umbral scaffold
#

Mind-controlled keybind

#

Eye tracking software that alters the key depending on where I'm looking on the screen

#

Would be interesting ngl

thorn lark
umbral scaffold
#

Look down to crouch, up to jump, side to dodge

thorn lark
#

one finger to slide them all

tall torrent
#

DT doesn’t have that many inputs where u can’t make a keybind set-up where there’re things difficult to do

umbral scaffold
#

I used to do one finger until Warframe

#

The movement there fucked my dog and killed my mother

thorn lark
#

i put blitz on Q.... thats so much better for throwing knives

umbral scaffold
#

I got tired of slamming my pinky

#

Oh, definitely

tall torrent
#

I don’t use pinky for my keybinds even

old quail
#

i think i have all but push to talk, tag, and jump as default binds

marble mantle
umbral scaffold
#

Knives actually make me want a quick blitz key

#

Quick assail, quick grenade, quick rock

thorn lark
#

Q all the way

umbral scaffold
#

Honest to God would make assail feel so fucking good

#

I should macro it for a match

tall torrent
#

I have Q as “move left” KEKW_ogryn

old quail
#

horrific

thorn lark
#

what

umbral scaffold
#

HOW

bold belfry
thorn lark
#

it's jsat or crab lvl of depravity

old quail
#

tinyangrycrab has some degenerate keybinds iirc

#

jsat has foot pedals dude

#

i respect him

thorn lark
#

crab has ads on spacebar

old quail
#

oh yeah it's ads not shoot

#

that's on spacebar

tall torrent
#

It’s basic ergonomics

thorn lark
#

yeah but his explanation is quite logical tbh

old quail
#

yeah it makes sense i just think it's ungodly

thorn lark
#

i should try it once, in the psyk

shadow urchin
#

I am so glad I never have to mess with keybinds.

bold belfry
old quail
#

the more important thing to me is muscle memory so i just don't fuck with keybinds unless the game has them set up really bad

#

castle crashers i think by default on pc has all your attacks set to like e and q n shit

#

instead of using mouse buttons

thorn lark
umbral scaffold
#

I think it's easier to stretch my finger to hit Q and E, than to curl it for A and D

old quail
#

i played it for about 5 mins before i was like "this is the worst configuration known to man"

umbral scaffold
#

So WASD it is

shadow urchin
#

Then again, I did end up beating Dark Souls (not the remaster) with only my keyboard. I think the camera controls were like, I and J?

umbral scaffold
#

drkslsi

tall torrent
#

I basically just swap A and Q

#

Everything else works normally

shadow urchin
#

Most folks partied in college. I played accursed dark souls PC port

umbral scaffold
#

Honestly same

old quail
#

freddy fish is peak gaming

#

been all downhill since... i think it was 1997 or smth it came out

thorn lark
umbral scaffold
#

I used to play a legal copy of drkslsptde in high school

shadow urchin
tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

The camera controls were horrible

shadow urchin
#

I also had that one game where you had to face your nightmares but I never beat it

thorn lark
#

well if only i did not have blitz on q

umbral scaffold
#

It causes me to understand why Japanese websites look like they got stuck in the '90s

tall torrent
old quail
#

i cant give up swap on q

thorn lark
#

but it's better for my hand to use q than a

tall torrent
#

And I can promise it’ll feel way better in ergonomics

old quail
#

i dont wanna fucking DESTROY my brain while i get used to it

Brain dmg or carpal tunnel, pick one

#

Honestly, I was wanting to try ESDF

thorn lark
#

next week path is gonna make me type using dvorak

umbral scaffold
#

I might end up trying ERTF

tall torrent
#

WQSD is better because for most people, ring & middle fingers are on same level when relaxed

#

Instead of having ring finger be in this really awkward spot down to left from middle finger (which is what WASD is)

umbral scaffold
#

I should change it and instantly jump on auric with psyker

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

What about moving back?

tall torrent
#

S

#

It’s very easy for middle finger to go from W to S

thorn lark
#

i learned using azerty because I'm from France

tall torrent
#

Damn that’s crazy

umbral scaffold
#

I mean, wouldn't that be a bit annoying?

thorn lark
#

and i still prefer to type using Qwerty

tall torrent
#

Unless you’re biologically constructed differently

shadow urchin
#

Nightmare Ned! That was the game

umbral scaffold
#

I use these bitches no cap ong

#

My previous W key was sliced in half by friction

tall torrent
#

Idk how a normal human can have his ring, middle & index fingers rest in this kind of position

umbral scaffold
#

I think the middle and ring are bad

#

Index fits okay there

tall torrent
#

Yea

umbral scaffold
#

Human hands are shit

hollow warren

ogryn hands better

umbral scaffold

WQSD

This is way better

honestly the positioning for that feels

identical to me

I'm gonna fucking EWDF today gamers

though then you don't have access to your other keys

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

honesly the dream is to get one of those

#

mmo mice

#

and use those buttons to move

tall torrent
#

Normally at resting position ring & middle are same level

#

Which is why WASD just feels so wack

Imagine fingerless gloves but the finger sleeves are longer than your fingers. Fingerful gloves

And just like that, finger no longer looks like a real word to me.

Fring the finger flinger flings fingers.

pastel yew
#

I wish there was

#

an easy way to know how much damage dot stacks did

#

like you just have to test it

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

uhh

#

if I wanted to know for example, how much damage 7 bleed stacks would do

tall torrent
#

Idk

pastel yew
#

but the stacking is weird

#

and its also health dependant

tall torrent
#

I don’t rly think about breakpoints from DOT

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I think the only time it'd be worth doing is bolt pistol anyway

tall torrent
#

And dmg stacks exponentially up

pastel yew
#

from what I'm aware the bolt pistol does make some new breakpoints with the bleed but

#

that might be more relevant on the zealot

#

unsure unsure

pastel yew
#

most dot blessings are significantly better at 4 than 3

#

I am kinda sad that we didnt get any kind of burn

#

given incendiary bolt shells are a thing and are very cool

bold belfry
#

Ehhh, specialist bolt rounds are only really an astartes thing tbh

thorn lark
#

just shoot a barrel

marble mantle
#

Oh to be an astartes

pastel yew
#

I mean we know they've taken some inspiration from the dark heresy ttrpg

#

and they're a thing in that

bold belfry
# pastel yew nah?

Not saying exclusively but the majority of them are, and even then specialist ammunition isn't really gonna be handed out to rejects

pastel yew
#

I mean you wouldnt expect bolt guns in general to be handed out to em but

#

hey ho

#

I guess by 30 you're official warband though

shadow urchin
#

Could be a bolter MK, no?

crimson pebble
#

You are and to mention wed also have both a rogue traders and inquisitions lvl of armament provided to us is my reasoning for the tier of shit we get to have

shadow urchin
#

Are there any weapons with innate dot? Theres the dragons breath shotgun and flamer, of course. Is that it?

#

Purge staff is like psyker flamer.

pastel yew
#

I dont think so no, at least not that isnt coming from blessings or skills

bold belfry
tall torrent
pastel yew
bold belfry
#

No, but it's not exactly top of the line either

tall torrent
#

And considering we have enforcer Armor in the game now it’s not rly out of place

bold belfry
#

Yeah and arbites wouldn't really have any need of specialist ammo tbh

tall torrent
#

@thorn lark @umbral scaffold do let me know how ur keybind experiments go KEKW_ogryn

thorn lark
#

i will let you know in 2 or 3 hours

pastel yew
#

I dont massively think of the skins as being cannon

#

but I'm not opposed to us having higher level gear since we work under the inquisition

#

post lvl 30 is the real game imo

radiant chasm
#

IE how we get the skins is from hallowette's black/grey market contacts

#

and the "lore reason" we have a rotation as in 2 weeks she will run out of stock (completely stupid reasoning)

tall torrent
bold belfry
#

I mean one of the dialogue options mentions she trades with xenos so maybe affiliated with a rogue trader in some way

radiant chasm
bold belfry
#

Tbh brahm is barely mentioned I forgot she even existed KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

She yaps in mourningstar all day

#

Brahms is a professional yapper first, rogue trader second

radiant chasm
#

she's old enough and with a good enough crew, she doesn't need to personally oversee much anymore besides reminding hallowette to do the more boring paperwork part of being a seneschal

#

gives her a lot of yapping time

bold belfry
#

I tune out a lot of the dialogue aboard the mourningstar tbh since it's just the same lines over and over again

#

Weakspot is what u should be hitting, and core is what your DOT will be hitting

#

Only “exception” to this rule is that reapers have unyielding as core but wears flak Armor so in some rare cases you might want to consider that

marble mantle
#

Ok I think I get it

#

I’m assuming all weakspots are not just the head

#

And where can I learn what enemies have what armor on their weakspot?

terse idol
#

With like, maulers being an exception

#

Where they're weaker in the body

#

And the BoN with yhe weakpoint on their back

terse idol
#

Most notable with Reapers with varying armours

#

Crushers are carapace in every square inch

umbral scaffold
#

Reaper has wacky carapace bits

terse idol
#

Yeah

#

Like wrist gauntlets iirc

#

Of cara

radiant chasm
umbral scaffold
#

Usually the enemies will have an armor type that, despite a possibly lower modifier, will be compensated for with headshot damage

#

So your gun might be better against flak than maniac, but hitting the head is better anywah

yeah just

#

I'm not a fan of their special kill speed

#

it feels fairly lacking compared to other weapons that also cleave well anyway

thorn dragon
#

is this worth keeping? Dunno what to reroll

pastel yew
#

but it won't be terrible

#

unyielding is fun on the recons though given the buffs you can stack to get good boss weakspot damage

#

ideally I think you want headhunter and dum dum for your blessings

#

though there are a few different options for whats good

thorn dragon
#

I was suprised when i saw the flak and unyielding damage was the same on the breakdown

pastel yew
#

I would swap salvo for dum dum or headhunter for sure though

#

then its really down to whether you'd rather change unarmored to maniac damage, or your other blessing to infernus, one of the two I just mentioned or something else

thorn lark

never stop reddit never

I tried it on my hardest difficulty

#

uprising

#

and theres never anything else to shoot anyway

1/10 blessing

#

trash, never good

thorn lark
#

i do feel like manstopper is kinda a pretty situational party trick tho

#

insanely useful when the conditions are right, but i was doing already very well with ds + bb

radiant chasm
#

yea, it's kinda like lawby

#

it's fun and great when it works, but it's still niche

I mean its a case of it's always good with weapon specialist

#

which is where the gun is already strongest

#

and the situations where it really shines are where you really need something to do good because the situations fucked

radiant chasm
#

yea and unlike the crucian interaction, it's not possibly a bug/unethical

#

wspec manstopper sounds great

pastel yew
#

not sure I'd run it outside of ws

#

maybe for crit zealot

radiant chasm
#

how does true aim work with hacker?

#

each pellet count as a headshot? could go DD scriers shotgun

thorn lark
#

30% base crit is a bit low, unless you go scatter + manstopper

radiant chasm
#

prob gonna need both barrels

pastel yew
#

that'd be so fucking funny

#

I would say "no way"

radiant chasm
#

i mean, void true aim interaction

pastel yew
#

but we've all seen the spaghetti code of this game at play

radiant chasm
#

has been in the game since patch 13

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

double barrel using it wouldn't even be in the top 50% of broken interactions

pastel yew
#

it counts every head you go through

#

for generation

radiant chasm
#

yes

pastel yew
#

PANIK good lord

thorn lark
#

that's how exhil takedown works iirc

radiant chasm
#

if you don't get bullied by some random melee trash, certain long hallways/chokes on maps with void is basically just a serotonin printer

#

yea i think zealot would need manstopper+scattershot, then you go blazing piety and have scourge stacked on the side, combat blade covers armor anyway and throwing knives will save ammo vs low tier specs and elites

thorn lark
#

scryer db shotgun is fun too

pastel yew
#

is there any efficient way to farm +3 stam curios

#

I swear they're like

#

ludicrous in their rarity

#

I wonder if like... the melk slot machine might finally be worth

#

just buy a bajillion random curios

old finch
#

I've seen them in the rotating blue/green/gray junk shop a few times

#

usually at green

#

like they're rare there but not uber rare, I think most people just don't even bother looking at that shop though

radiant chasm
#

if you don't wanna wait

frank ether
thorn lark
#

75 +3 curios are in fact +2 stam in game

#

but appears as +3 in the psykh

#

enjoy your hunt 😄

frank ether

wait, really?

#

lmao

thorn lark

yep

frank ether

god

#

please tell me they're fixing this in itemization update lmao

either way I guess one more thing I have to warn people about

rare bough
thorn lark
#

i have learnt that the hard way

uncut pebble

try to play darktide

Like, do they not have ears? Can they not see what they're walking into?

wicked epoch
#

lmao i had to babysit level 14 and 16s when i was playing heresy

#

they just acted like lore accurate guardsmen

#

cannon fodder

faint beacon
#

I have to fucking babysit players on Auric sometimes its just mentally exhausting when shit like that happens lmao

wicked epoch
#

that is rough my guy

#

Its sad when the bots are more competent

#

I wish there was a mod that allowed me to have the bots just be clones of me

#

Or other builds

#

That way i dont have to get the dummies or the INSANELY OVERPOWERED PSYKER BUILDS

flat crypt
wicked epoch
#

i hate it when insanely overpowered psykers just come in and take fucking everything

frank ether
#

Guess we must be going somewhere

#

if the average players are waking up to the fact that psykers make this game unfuckingplayable lmao

#

Only took one year but we're getting somewhere

wicked epoch
#

dude i fucking swear its annoying

#

my score gets burnt to the ground because of some no life psyker

frank ether
#

The thing I despise the most is like

#

not even the scoreboard

#

or trivializing the difficulty

#

none of that

#

nono

#

its my eyes

wicked epoch
#

yeah sure free resources, but i just want to fucking have fun

frank ether
#

they hurt

#

my eyes hurt

#

from the particle soup

wicked epoch
#

Its not even the particle soup for me

#

its the constant fucking killstealing

faint beacon
#

Thank god for a mod that tones down those particles OR straight up removes them

frank ether
#

I walk into a poxwalker horde and next thing I know a psyker shits out the blue piss all over my face

#

and I get a headache within 20 minutes

wicked epoch
#

i hate it when i magdump my bolter intoa mauler or a rager horde and all of the credit goes to the psyker

#

because he did the little stun bullshit

frank ether
faint beacon

one second

wicked epoch
#

The shields are nice and all but i swear 99% of my animosity goes towards the killstealing

if your that fucking good

#

go play auric damnation

And let me enjoy standard heresy in peace where im in my skill level

somber axle
#

hey so weird question but like

frank ether
#

I think psykers in general need a rework regarding peril

#

vermintide had this working well

somber axle
#

does the final penance stuff imply we're the new Moebian VIth?

wicked epoch
#

i hope their brains explode the moment they use 1 power

frank ether

with peril venting costing the witch hp

somber axle
#

this isn't just Vet

#

it's on all the armours

#

even Psyker

faint beacon
wicked epoch
#

I’d say maybe its just salvaged armor

faint beacon
#

It might just be recovered armor

wicked epoch
#

that

faint beacon
#

seeing they all died on Nox Alpha

#

or turned traitor

wicked epoch
#

Yep

faint beacon
#

all loyalist died at Nox Alpha

wicked epoch
#

where can i find like the full karkin lore

#

i just have snippets

#

I never heard of nox alpha till now

somber axle
#

is the Imperium in the business of letting dead Regiments remain gone?

#

or would they just like

#

recreate the 6th?

#

just fill the empty ranks with the next generation of troops

faint beacon
#

Moebian 21st are kinda the "replacement"

#

for them

wicked epoch
#

The priority is to get rid of the traitors

faint beacon
#

but I'll be damned if there isn't a handful of loyalist 6th floating around out there somewhere

#

I refuse to believe ALL loyalist died

wicked epoch
somber axle
#

the only thing I can find on the 21st is

#

this from the wiki

faint beacon
#

Would this be better? lmao

wicked epoch
#

Where do i even find more about the nox alpha shit

#

All in the wiki?

somber axle
#

so right now it's 21st vs 6th with the Inquisitor and Grendyl's warband supporting them

faint beacon
#

Read the wiki

faint beacon
#

on

wicked epoch
#

Dont forget the cults

faint beacon
#

martyr's skulls

faint beacon
#

the Martyr's Skulls give the lore on what happened with the 6th

#

and why they went traitor

wicked epoch
faint beacon
#

Literally

wicked epoch
#

not sure where to find it

#

Oh that easy?

faint beacon
#

Yeah cause they put all the warp echoes together in a reasonable snippet story

#

that explains what happened

wicked epoch
radiant chasm
#

tho tbf, sometimes reading it doesn't have the same effect as hearing the line outloud

faint beacon
#

Just understand Nox Alpha is a fringe death planet

radiant chasm
#

but idk if anyone has posted them all in one youtube video

somber axle
#

oh neat

#

I had no idea this was their deal LOL

#

I thought it was just a funny Halo skull collecting reference

wicked epoch
#

i only know ab them cuz some french dude told me to grab one

radiant chasm
#

imperium has a skull kink only matched by khorne

wicked epoch
#

vid from 2 months ago

faint beacon
#

One is a symbol of humanity and the other is just blood for the blood god

#

From what I can piece together, the 6th were fighting a fringe war against the forces of Nurgle

radiant chasm
faint beacon
#

and clearly the conditions they were sent there cause it was a Suicide mission basically

#

they turned

radiant chasm
#

they were getting corrupted fairly quick to

#

laughing, hearing voices, seeing shit, sickness spreading

#

being absolutely not freaked out that one of their fellow guardsman exploded into maggots

faint beacon
#

Sent with borderline no logistics

#

I hate to say it imperium bros but I think thats why they went traitor

faint beacon
radiant chasm
#

i mean, even before martyr skulls, the 6th always had a massive survivor guilt/ego around them

wicked epoch
#

They didnt even get rebreathers lol

somber axle
#

sometimes I forget how much horror there is in Nurgle's diseases

#

and then

pastel yew
#

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

radiant chasm
somber axle
#

minds addled by agony until they were ready to do anything to survive and make the pain stop

radiant chasm
#

and wolferr getting nurgle priests

somber axle
#

a lot of the lines imply there were a lot of warp shenanigans messing with their minds too

wicked epoch
#

So this all started on nox alpha?

somber axle
#

Wolfer fed his Imperium loyal men to the meat grinder

radiant chasm
somber axle
#

there's a few lines talking about how they made a run from the trenches and were immediately beset on both flanks by the enemy the instant they were out of their holes

radiant chasm
#

the twins were already cannibals before nox alpha

somber axle
#

5000 men gone

faint beacon
#

Nox Alpha is what was more so the straw that broke the camels back

radiant chasm
#

wolferr was already a bit unhappy

somber axle
#

and they never even saw the enemy

#

just ambushed and wiped out

#

Wolfer was setting up any loyalist men for slaughter then wiped out the rest

radiant chasm
#

why is cannibalistic siblings such a reoccuring plot point smh

wicked epoch
#

What turned wolfer?

wicked epoch
somber axle
#

there's a dark part where they mention that the enemy had scrambled the vox but they had no idea how the enemy could get their frequencies

wicked epoch
#

lulu andy something?

somber axle
faint beacon
pastel yew
#

wait... stamina regen is a flat amount

#

not a % of total stamina

#

?

somber axle
#

aside from watching his regiment bleed and die from hellish disease while making little to no progress without support or supply he probably had help being nudged toward chaos by the commissar killing his men so frequently

#

there's a part where a line mentions the commissar killed more of their men than the enemy did during one battle

radiant chasm
somber axle
#

add in the priests and whatever they may have whispered in his ears and it's no surprise he turned traitor

pastel yew
frank ether
#

Common sense is all you need to hate imperium lmao

crimson pebble

#

Dregs?

somber axle
#

The cultists were already here

faint beacon
#

Dregs

frank ether
#

there were already cults in place before the scab army were recalled

#

and dregs are the nurgle cult

somber axle
#

Wolfer showed up when Atoma called for help putting down the Dregs

faint beacon
#

Admonition was always there

somber axle
#

The VIth helped the Dregs put down the resistance and spread chaos and disease across the city

I’ll admit that’s my biggest irk

#

His name

frank ether

But as a character he’s pretty solid

uncut pebble

I like the con artist idea more

mellow adder
#

Is this an ok zarona quickdraw? Should I change the perks or keep them?

frank ether
#

its a zarona, it will always be ok

#

but if you want real advice

#

flak is absolutely pointless on this weapon

#

you already delete flak targets in one shot

#

And for your next zarona try to get a crit blessing in there

faint beacon
# frank ether I like the con artist idea more

In his trailer it showed him clearly setting up some sort of deal with the water cartel only to kill them for their information on supposedly clandestine Gloriana, he’s most likely a con artist or ganger

You want hand cannon and surgical for blessings, and for vet, blessings are far more important because of your versatility with breakpoints.

Melk in lore just makes tasks and helps with the wyrmwood network, hallowette’s military contributions we dont get to see in game cause she is regulated to the cash shop
