Ur meant to use it intermittently kinda

slow sky
#

i still think its good but im not personally good at using it

tall torrent
#

It’s most relevant vs ragers and maulers

#

U can stun mauler when they do sweep atk

severe gale
#

exactly why i never block (also i run desperation, being above 10% stamina is a sin)

slow sky
#

which has happened more than once

#

cuz enough hit from the first block at the same time, and any that didnt hit proceeded to devour me during the stam break

tall torrent
#

Not good vs like 8 lol

slow sky
#

it was like 4-5

crimson pebble
#

We love shredder frag

tall torrent
slow sky
#

plus i was on zealot and i think they inherently have less stamina bars

#

for smaul

#

idk ive just gotten destroyed every time ive used the shock maul period

tall torrent
#

Pretty sure zealot has either same or more stamina than veteran (without +stamina curios)

slow sky
#

im pretty sure its less but much much higher regen

tall torrent
#

Zealot base is 3

#

Veteran base is 2

#

But veteran gets +1 from confirmed kill starting path

#

So usually same stamina amount

slow sky
#

is it really
ive couldve sworn ive had 3 stam on base knife zealot and 4 on vet

tall torrent
#

Zealot regens stamina at shorter delay and faster rate
Zealot: 0.75s delay, 1.5/s
Veteran: 1.0s delay, 1/s

slow sky
#

i hate how overly stupid stamina differences are

tall torrent
#

Veteran’s price for having the best melee dps in the game is also having the worst base melee-related feel

hearty panther
#

Cept Vet gets to juice the delay to .75 or .5 if desired.

tall torrent
#

Yea usually by trading some dps nodes tho

slow sky
hearty panther
#

Absolutely worth it.

tall torrent
slow sky
#

so i wont

tall torrent
#

It’s just that a lot of the time veteran goes turbo damage for breakpoints cuz he’s really just 10~15% damage off another breakpoint a lot of the time

last parcel
#

i skip superiority complex because my superiority is quite simple chadgryn

slow sky
#

i skip superiority comples cuz it hits no breakpoints on my build and i just take 15% close damage on ability use for bosses and hordes

last parcel
#

so you're still just 1 point from the stam regen delay chadgryn

i just hate it

If I wanted a perfect stat plasmagun, what would I be aiming for

#

Are charge rate and thermal the two stats you want to take a hit?

tame lodge
#

Charge rate is

#

Thermal is the difference between 7-8 shots

trim steppe
#

At what score

#

79-80 bumps from 7-8?

#

Or some lesser number

tame lodge
#

Probably some lesser number

trim steppe
#

So probably something like 80 dam / 80 SP / 80 ammo / 70 CR / 70 TR

#

"powersword bad"

#

Tanner said so

trim steppe
#

Powersword bad is definitely a hot take

#

Feels like you have lead boots on, but who needs to be fast when everything within 10m of you is vaporized

wild vortex
#

I would like to use psword but I hate hitting charge every 2 swings and without it it's just a wooden paddle

red robin
#

man

wild vortex
#

Wish the difference between charged and uncharged wasn't so extreme

red robin
#

manstopper double barrel aint no joke

trim steppe
#

Yes but if you get PC4 then you only have to do it every 3 swings, peak gameplay

red robin
#

i got shattershot and weapon specialist makes it crit basically everytime

#

kinda wild the store rotated manstopper and flechette in the store

crimson pebble
#

Even w out scattershot youll still guarantee a crit after 3 melee kills

i just like killing 1 guy and hotswapping

i got another double barrel with deathspitter and manstopper

The story is good though

#

(I haven't played it)

#

But almost everyone I met gave it a 9.5 on campaign

midnight totem
#

first, connectivity is sucking, badly, hard to get into a pvp game

#

some games start and then crash back to the lobby, on repeat, and if you leave and try to find a new lobby its a coin flip whether it works, or something in the connecting to a server is frozen

#

two, certain customizations are not saving and I have no idea why

scarlet path
pseudo fiber
scarlet path
#

If you're in a squad with someone they need to transfer party leadership to you and it will start loading you in

#

And vice versa

#

may take a try or two sometimes

midnight totem
#

anyway, like I made a custom space wolf color scheme, I have the decals and coors unlocked, and the game keeps defaulting the space wolf decal on one pauldron to an ultramarine decal

scarlet path
#

That one seems annoying asf

midnight totem
#

relatively minor, but since it happens -every- game startup

#

and I'm not getting in more pvp games to get currency to unlock shit

#

its fucking annoying

#

campaign is decent so far, although the bots are, more or less useless

#

darktide bots are more useful

pseudo fiber
#

I've heard that yeah.
I've also heard the enemies have a lovely tendancy to just ignore them too

crude fiber
#

The ranged enemies seem pretty annoying from what I've seen

midnight totem
#

the ranged enemies can be horrific

#

... but I'n kinda used to that from space marine one lol

#

also darktide

Lawbringer worth using?

uncut pebble
# thin stone But almost everyone I met gave it a 9.5 on campaign

The very end is the only thing I have an issue with, story wise. The antagonist was good, the story was good, but the very end just didn't sit right with me, but I think that's on purpose for the creation of an eventual third game. Titus's story isn't over. Not yet.

#

anyone got a decent shotgun build i can steal borrow ideas from?

#

lawbringer, not double barrel

#

thought i also wouldn't mind a double barrel build

thorn lark
#

This is what I use with one point to spare for the db shotgun

#

Works with any other shotgun too

shadow basin
#

hell yeah, thank you man

#

pretty similar to my current build lmao

thorn lark
#

This talent is kinda the cornerstone of the build tbh

shadow basin
#

for lawbringer, would one bullet really matter that much?

#

i can see the importance with db but i'm not totally sold with lawbringer

red robin
#

The reload speed talents have use for the special loading

#

I like using scattershot and flechette on the lawbringer

#

Idk abt manstopper and flechette tho

thorn lark
red robin
#

Proper management of WS saves you point tax on reload talents

#

Because man I hate base special round loading

#

I think bleeds stack onslaught and cause more dmg to proc on bleed

#

Idk if that is the case

uncut pebble
#

Just carried an auric maelstrom with a fucking tac axe.

Damnn

#

I can't believe this build actually works.

red robin
#

Lemme see the tac axe

uncut pebble
#

Just a sec, in a loading screen.

#

I had close to 700k damage.

red robin
#

I might fuck with it after agile gets added with new update

uncut pebble
#

Ran a ciag but that was only for weapon specialist purposes.

red robin
#

Ooo

#

Nice stat array

uncut pebble
#

I probably would've done better with unarmored on it instead of sprint eff, too.

red robin
#

Unarmored has its moments

#

I’ve yet to have one on my weapons

#

But still

#

It has its moments

uncut pebble
#

Time to try for ASS.

#

Not gonna use the tac axe build, though. That was very taxing on my brain, pun intended.

red robin
#

Bro broke the spacebar key chain dodging just to maintain kiting distance

uncut pebble
#

No. I pushed into the enemies.

#

I just kept critting over and over again and nothing really lived long enough to make me dodge, short of crushers.

red robin
#

Damn you built different

#

I can’t live without my WS dodge increase

#

I cannot wait to play with the duelling sword with two dodge range sliders, one being on mobility and the other defence

#

MK 5 duelling sword I think?

austere mica
#

Only one would affect dodges

red robin
#

I hate this world

austere mica
#

Or at least a given attribute of dodges

#

It wouldn’t make sense to scale something specific off of two stats

red robin
#

It apparently has the highest dodge distance in the game

austere mica
#

That doesn’t sound right

#

Knife is higher

#

1.05-1.15

red robin
#

I see

#

It has 15% dodge distance

#

The knife with max mobility has 13%

austere mica
#

Guh

red robin
#

The dream is back

#

Time to use a shitty single target dodge dancing weapon

#

The duelling swords are getting agile too, which refreshes dodge count on weakspot hit

Gobbling up ammo as a glugger is one thing, but literally depriving your team of resources is an entirely different animal.

red robin
#

I sometimes misclick opening a crate with full ammo

uncut pebble
#

I can function with low ammo on weapon spec, but I literally ran out of ammo 3 times because this creature grabs ammo to replace like 12 bullets he shot.

uncut pebble
#

Me and the zealout both ran on very little ammo for the entire mission.

#

The psyker, Emperor be praised, was using a staff, so she could actually snipe specialists.

red robin
#

That tac axe run absolutely cooked my brain. Swapped to my zealout, decided I wanted to use hsword, and got absolutely fucking demolished every single time I turned around.

Well this is gonna be awkward when they finally add hotshot volley guns.

balmy flume
#

I admit, if you want the revolver for style, then yes, nothing beats it 😅

uncut pebble
#

Also, agripinaa revolvers have a speedloader, so they reload all at once.

#

And they do silly things for vet, like 1 cylinder-ing a boss.

balmy flume
#

Huh, good points…I may well invest into one for my PSword Sergeant build.
(Right now a part of the reason I run PSword/Bolt Pistol is kind of a joke referencing the tabletop; almost every Guard sergeant will be taking the upgrades to those from the Chainsword/Laspistol they start with)

#

(Sadly for some odd reason, tabletop Guard rarely uses stub pistols)

Just know that the zarona is the ADS model and the agripinaa is the cowboy model.

Headhunter is peak

headhunter doesnt provide much of a bonus to critchance as the description implies

Also, I played a run of darktide and my headphones died during a run

#

Man audio design is insane for spatial awareness

#

Literally felt like a schizophrenic turning around every two seconds because I know for a fact a disabler was plotting for my downfall

#

Like my aim was worse because the sound of ranged units readying a shot makes me vindictive and makes my aim better from sheer distain over their smug smiles pelting me behind cover

red robin

Also the sound cue of a incoming melee attack is such a grace

I'm starting to think that farming is more efficient on norms now.

Since there are soo many trash PUBS on auric trying to get a fucking orange colored title, you will complete more games on norms at a much faster rate, therefore more mats.

Any thoughts on Covering Fire? Been using it for a while now and gotta say, watching my Psyker or Orgyn going to full Toughness in 2 seconds flat when they are getting swamped feels good since I'm keeping em alive

Some folks did some math and classified it as underwhelming

tawny badger
#

I fucking love Covering Fire

tame lodge
#

+every class has ways of Regen during horde

red robin
#

Man I love having a support build using born leader and tunnel vision stacked up

tawny badger
#

fuck I can't find a gif for it

tame lodge
#

Look at all that toughness

red robin
#

Using a las pistol with reassuringly accurate with deadshot is tons of toughness generated with confirmed kill and exhilarating takedown

terse idol
#

Not toughness + curios

tawny badger
#

they should uncap toughness for like a day

terse idol
#

You just run like

#

Glory hunter on a plasma gun, covering fire and the other toughness share stuff

#

And you can give back some toughness

#

But VOC is gonna cover the majority of all toughness gain and damage reduction

red robin
#

Born leader is based off your regen, with a big toughness pool it’ll grant 15% of what you get to your teammates

terse idol
tawny badger
#

does that mean I don't become a toughness dispenser with born leader + exhilirating takedown

red robin
#

And tunnel vision amplifies the gain by 50-75%

terse idol
#

You can't just stack 3x toughness curios

terse idol
#

The issue I see with this is

red robin
#

Yeah but more

terse idol
#

Alot of damage sources

#

Can also just delete your toughness

#

With only over-toughness being enough to mitigate the full damage from sources like snipers or burster

#

So I mean it's cool to keep your allies topped off from chip damage

red robin
#

It adds up

terse idol
#

Not as much as VOC already provides

red robin
#

I bet the psykers on my team appreciate it despite not noticing it

terse idol
#

Hmmmm

elder fiber
#

nah psykers got busted toughness generation

red robin
#

It adds to the overheal of shout and born leader works even if you’re full toughness

#

It’s a fun build for warrior priest vibes

#

It’s an option that’s fun for me

#

I remember using power DI and I healed 80k toughness from born leader alone

#

Encourages coherency play too

terse idol
#

I mean it's fun

#

Glory hunter and all the toughness share nodes

#

And VOC and the talent that reduces voc off elite kill

junior ingot
# terse idol I'm not crazy on it, but it's a funny meme, the problem being iirc toughness reg...

Yeah, I got that part since I use the mod that lets me view exact numbers for HP and Toughness. So far, it kinda works for me since I used the Torrent-Type Recon Lasgun to mow down entire hordes around em quickly. Here's my current build atm.

Weapons are Torrent-Recon Lasgun with Crit % on Weakspot Hit. Been mowing down hordes and killing Elites/Ogryns and Bosses with this. Granted its reduced damage but the value of keeping the team constantly topped off had been paying off

red robin
#

True, las pistol is the freest toughness regen blessing just from crit kills

terse idol
#

I feel like problematically

#

Most runs end because you took burst damage in a single instance that people couldn't react to

#

Waaa!

red robin
#

Trueee

#

Still ain’t stopping me

#

One can argue the best support build is the guy who has the damage to nuke specials and shooters

red robin
#

Las pistol has insane finesse properties with crit and headshots

#

Marksmen focus is a nice branch with tunnel vision

#

Hard thing to manage is 15 stacks of MF with tunnel vision giving 75% toughness replenishment

terse idol
#

Me as I play ilas exclusively to delete all the ranged units on the map

#

Me as a One (1) crusher comes in

red robin
#

Which is unique from the toughness regen curio that only affects coherency regen

#

Tunnel visions toughness boost applies to all sources of toughness replenishment

#

On the discussion of toughness battery you tend to want to run 3 toughness curios so you can give your team as much toughness from Born Leader as possible

#

it sounds insane but its beyond fucking helpful

lyric dock
#

Vets generally want to run Toughness Curios anyways

#

Because it gives them more toughness to abuse Iron will

faint beacon
#

Iron will gets nerfed vet mains will complain

#

lyric dock
faint beacon
#

I do like the idea that Veteran is a toughness focused class though

red robin
#

Yeah, three toughness curios averaging a hypothetical 250 + 50 from shout is 300 toughness, RA blessing 16% (48/84), ET talent 15% (45/78).
84 and 78 is from 15 stacks of MF giving an 75% increase from tunnel vision, that’s 162 toughness per critical headshot kill, the 15% from born leader generates 24.3 toughness for every teammate per chaff critical weakspot kill.

#

My math might be severely off

tawny badger
#

man that's a lot of numbers

faint beacon
#

so your's might be bloated slightly

red robin
#

True

faint beacon
#

basically expect small numbers not big numbers

red robin
#

Math was never my thing

#

All I know is born leader generated 80k toughness alone in a match based off power DI tracking its numbers, its the little numbers that add up to that big tally

Hey, I am trying to come up with more "Do this one thing" penances as opposed to all they grindy ones we got in the last batch. Any thoughts/suggestions on these?

Logistics. Restore 50% of your teams total Ammo and 75% of their grenades with a single field improvised ammo crate.

Triage. Heal X toughness with a single field improvised medicpak.

Moral Support. Heal X toughness in a single match (doesn't count overtoughness)

Militarum intelligence. Resolve a faulty interrogator during one activation of Infiltrate.

Emperor’s Helping Hand: Revive/Rescue X teammates using infiltrate. (Okay, this one might be a bit grindy)

Combat Prowess. Deal X damage in y seconds after using any combat ability.

Cadia Stands. Complete a map with 2 wounds and 2 grimoires on heresy or above.

Big Game Hunter. Kill X Ogryns in a single activation of Executioner Stance.

Krak Shot: Kill 2 or more Ogryns with a single Krak Grenade.

I would really like to come up with more "Skillful" ones (relatively speaking). Is there anything ya'll have done that was a particularly skillful one-off vet-specific thing?

Mg1a is highest damage but also goes through ammo fastest while Mk IV is the infinite ammo iLas. XII exists for the very obscure niche of lower investment to reach breakpoints vs the Mg1a at the cost of slower fire rate putting DPS way behind the other variants

If boss is targeting u, u get easier headshots, but it’s also safer to just melee

If boss isn’t targeting u, u need stagger to get easier headshots

Also 9’s special being slightly higher than 3
