I honestly want a stubber

I just want something that heavily encourages suppression

#

That isn’t Recon

With the Agri being on kill

I suppose so. 1 or 2 in a row is to be expected but 4 was a bit much

yeah my pugs have been stinkers today

the last 2 were tox gas warrens, both times all 3 died before making it to the second large area down the ramp

had someone in my auric maelstrom that had the reaction speed of a potato bless him

#

Oh well, between that and 3 crashes I think I'm getting the hint to do something else for now haha

tame lodge
#

You can also wait and pray that Vet gets some sort of grenade launcher

#

Because explosions also have suppression

#

💀

delicate hornet
#

honestly a mini rumbler would be a cool weapon niche for vet

vet is already functionally a grenade launcher

i think it's cuz i'm using crosshair remap, but honestly i don't think i wanna bother troubleshooting just to use the bolt pistol

u need to update the mod for it to work

muted prairie

i figured, yeah. i checked nexus and it says the last update was july 2023? i thought bolt pistol was newer than that?

and bolt pistol was added newer than that

actually idk if the mod was ever fixed

#

Ive a question for most in here, being the regular auric runners and Casual Damnation players: is your veteran built for certain kinds of elite or are you built to take down anything in your path

delicate hornet
#

kill everything

lyric dock
#

Built to take down anything you can

#

It helps to be able to handle as many threats as you can

#

Because if you enter a Last Man Standing situation. It would really suck to not have a reliable way of dealing with Crusher packs or quickly deal with Rager packs

#

But this applies to all classes

faint beacon
#

Its literally just playstyle dependent

faint beacon
#

But some of the stuff we suggested you mainly helps with that type of set up of just

#

Kill all elites

orchid hemlock
#

every build should be designed to deal with any situation at least on paper

faint beacon
#

behead elites

#

Basically just understand Veteran

orchid hemlock

u dont need to be the best at it, but you have answers for all siutations

Im built to take on everything, was just morbidly curious

faint beacon
lyric dock
#

You need to be able to kill it quickly and efficiently as possible

faint beacon
unique orchid
#

Veteran is ranged threat removal, zealot is melee

delicate hornet
#

how would u even thereoretically specialise for certain kinds of elites? if u have 1 way of dealing with an enemy type u realistically have 2 other weapons to kill other stuff with

faint beacon
unique orchid
#

As such vet is "safer" since melee is more dangerous

faint beacon
#

Veteran is a Hybrid

#

Once you learn how to utilize Iron will as a talent more

#

you rarely take good chunks of HP damage

orchid hemlock
#

as a Vet it should honestly be 30/70 ranged melee

delicate hornet
#

melee isnt that dangerous if ur engaging in the games mechanics

faint beacon
delicate hornet
#

except for like ragers

faint beacon
#

You use you guns for anything thats shooting your or is an elite

last parcel
#

i think it's more like 36/64

faint beacon
#

your melee is for hordes or any elite up close

faint beacon
orchid hemlock
#

the only reason you shouldn't be in melee is because you need to take out something you can't run to, like a gunners/snipers/shotgunners/trappers

#

or ragers since u dont want to fight them since u cant CC them

@unique orchid Home, throwing the build together

im going to give you a heads up

this build is really not meant to kill

Honestly dumdum on its own will probably make my future pistols way better

Once i get it

faint beacon
#

If you want to drop leave no one you have two options this one for even more toughness supposedly

#

Or this for just raw damage

faint beacon
#

@delicate hornet Honestly kudos to the suggestion

#

im going to see how drastically different it is without LNOB

unique orchid
#

THmaxxing is very silly i shall admit

orchid hemlock
#

if this is a toughness regen build, why do u not have out for blood?

unique orchid
#

Its building MAX th not regen

orchid hemlock
#

what?

faint beacon
#

Its more so

orchid hemlock
#

the point of the build is to utilize Born Leader correct?

faint beacon
#

I mean you could do either or

orchid hemlock
#

also the laspistol is a horrific toughness generator

lyric dock
#

Crafting Rework will make this a proper 550 soon™️

orchid hemlock
#

because the kill needs to be a critical hit for it to proc

faint beacon
#

but you gain more from this

#

cause I'll be blunt

faint beacon
#

if you aren't popping heads as vet

#

why are you playing Vet

So it'll crit pretty often

pseudo fiber

#

Yes but melee kills also

orchid hemlock

ET doesn't

faint beacon

give you toughness

which plays into

orchid hemlock
#

yes and u get more toughness

faint beacon
#

Charismatic + Born Leader

#

10%

#

vs

#

15%

#

Im just saying dude

#

you're giving more total to your team

orchid hemlock
#

assuming u hit weakpoints

faint beacon
#

You should be

orchid hemlock
#

and assuming it is all ranged kills

faint beacon
#

Like im going to be blunt

#

you should be as Veteran

#

and with the Heavy las you can get away with firing far more

somber axle
#

Do you think Charismatic + Born Leader + Out for Blood with Rashad Mk II Combat Axe horde slapping would be funny?

faint beacon
#

its happy on ammo econ

faint beacon

You're already sticking max toughness just swinging with reckless abandon in a horde

it might be okay

bruh if I had a PS and outforblood, I would literally be gen maxing in 2 seconds

unique orchid
orchid hemlock
#

i dont care how accurate u are, a laspistol isn't going to kill a horde of trash

Las-Pistol = zero cleave

unique orchid
#

Good heavens gale, im 1200 hours in only two games

#

Neither are DT ones tf2 and the other is warframe

orchid hemlock
#

also this is dogshit

#

it has no synergy with Born Leader

unique orchid
#

Covering fire strictly isnt great because of what again? I know no Born Leader syn but is it decent without?

orchid hemlock
#

because it doesn't proc on yourself

faint beacon
#

It doesn't synergize with born leader but its more so the fact of supporting the team IF they are ahead of you

#

thats the reason why I have it

#

not saying its a good talent at all

unique orchid
faint beacon
#

but its helpful

#

Again

orchid hemlock
faint beacon
#

This is a HEAVILY support based build

#

40% of matches with this build I sit behind the team

#

the zealot that rushes ahead gets big bonuses off it

unique orchid
#

Ill probably put CovFire on my build im legit always shooting into my teammate's crowds

orchid hemlock
faint beacon
#

thing Is I would chastise you for this

#

cause I am a heavily

#

Melee based Veteran

#

but like

#

Seriously how you're using it is perfect lmao

#

its literally in the talents name

orchid hemlock
faint beacon
#

You assume I actually track that like every match?

orchid hemlock
#

no, but u seem to be thinking that 2 talent points is apperently worth this node, and I am asking why you beleive this

faint beacon
#

2

#

sir that is 1

#

This entire section here is imporant cause you need anti armor and Charisma is playing in with BL

orchid hemlock
#

mb for some reason I thought u were taking scavenger

#

still why not take O4B?

faint beacon
#

Tbh you probably COULD

#

get away without Survivalist

#

but this is assuming your team lets you take ammo

#

cause you tend to shoot more

#

I could throw something together for a build like that one moment

orchid hemlock
#

i actually tested CF

I had a mod that tracked the proc usage throughout the game of an auric match

#

u know how many times it proced?

pseudo fiber
orchid hemlock
#

8

#

in a 30 minute game

#

it's dogshit

#

objectively

#

and I was using a plasma gun

faint beacon
#

@unique orchid @orchid hemlock Well if you want raw damage instead this actually gives you O4B and even Exploit Weakness

#

maybe try this instead if you can conserve ammo

#

Should be easier seeing it is the MK10

orchid hemlock
#

charasmatic is also questionable

#

I also dont see u taking stam regen boost

faint beacon
frank ether
#

I owned and played this since pre-release

#

still below 1000 hours lmao

I wonder how much gameplay do I even have if I cut the shopping mall experience and loading screens

faint beacon

This is playing a huge role in the build as well

elder fiber
#

deadshot kinda deadshit on pistol

orchid hemlock
frank ether
elder fiber
#

also it has ghost

orchid hemlock

the only gun I would unironically use it on are the helbores

and even then I prob wont

tall torrent

Not atm

frank ether
#

ppl be saying some wild stuff tonight

orchid hemlock
#

even then, if you are going to take deadshot, I am very surprised u then dont take stamina regen

somber axle
#

Deadshot and Target Down pair very well together

frank ether
faint beacon
#

what we're attempting

somber axle
#

5% Toughness and 5% Stam per stack and if you are quickly tagging and killing targets that will always be a minimum of 2 stacks per kill

faint beacon
#

to throw together

somber axle
#

Deadshot is just a game of juggling with Target Down

frank ether
faint beacon
frank ether
faint beacon
#

trust me I know better to not fucking run that on an actual build that isn't a set gimmick

frank ether
#

I dont see any reason not to take it on a bunch of weapons mostly pistols

#

its only shit on autopistol, but thats just autopistol

somber axle
#

Yeah Deadshot is just fun and effective imo

uncut pebble
#

Autopistol is just... bad.

frank ether
#

its passable on zealot

uncut pebble
#

No talents or blessings are saving it at this point.

somber axle
#

It's like Recip but you don't need to stack it or maintain stacks for it

frank ether
#

veteran just never had good offerings for lower finesse weapons especially one thats not a main gun but rather something for quickswapping (so poor exe synergy)

orchid hemlock
#

idk, being out of stamina on vet is 😰

somber axle
#

Could you imagine how funny Laspistol crit could be with Deadshot and Recip? You'd have Shock Trooper proccing constantly LOL

uncut pebble
#

Most finesse weapons that aren't meta just need an overall numbers change and I think they'll be good.

frank ether
#

as far as vet goes most finesse weapons ARE pretty meta

uncut pebble
#

Like, the autopistol could have an adm tweak against unarmored, infested, and maniac armor types and it'd be good.

unique orchid
frank ether
#

its just very inaccurate

#

whats the point of ADM tweaks when anything beyond spitting distance you're just spraying at main body hitbox and still missing like half your shots

#

and losing damage on dmg fall-off and what have you

somber axle
#

Isn't Shredder Autopistol already solid for Maniac ADM

#

I vaguely remember toying with it and finding it shreds Dreg Ragers pretty fine

uncut pebble
#

Idk, I was just spitballing an improvement because it feels like such shit to use.

somber axle
#

But that was with a goofy build to turn it into a rending machine for killing Crushers so like even if it did have weak ADM vs Ragers by default I wouldn't have felt it just by the talents I'd picked

#

It was kinda fun for Auric Damnation quickplay though

uncut pebble
#

I feel like genuinely I could do better never drawing my ranged weapon and running a 5 rating standard issue shovel.

somber axle
#

But it eats ammo FAST

unique orchid
#

I fail to understand the deadshot hate but i also have a +3 stam curio and a lot of extra stam regen

frank ether
#

at the end of the day its the same debate as zarona vs boltpistol if you can't understand why one is better than the other regardless of breakpoints then you also can't understand the iag vs autopistol either. Not saying this to be insulting or to like win argument I genuinely try to have this discussion sometimes with people that just aren't capable of understanding it lmao

somber axle
uncut pebble
#

I feel like you can't compare the autopistol to the iags.

#

It'd be more fair to compare them to laspistols.

frank ether
#

like you have one gun that can shoot 5 gunners back to back with no mechanics outside your control like aimcone or sway and then the other has to deal with those things then the winner is clear

#

add to that the ciag also just does better damage period

unique orchid
#

Honestly i only really manage stamina since ammo isnt a big deal because of shock trooper and toughness is fine because i have fatshark melee muscle memory

frank ether
#

and what little benefits you have for autopistol being a pistol is made irrelevant

somber axle
#

If you can't juggle and don't have a source of quick Stam regain (Duck and Dive, Target Down, at least one of the Stam regen delay nodes) and you don't grab any Stam curios to offset it then it just ends up providing little value and pushes someone into hip firing more often out of fear of stamina starving themselves into danger

unique orchid
#

But yeah, i can see the reason for not wanting MORE management

somber axle
#

You don't need all of those things btw

#

Really any one of those options is enough for fueling Deadshot memes

#

It's just an unpopular playstyle

unique orchid
#

So is double shield ep bb psyker KEKW_ogryn

#

Im just a freak

uncut pebble

#

ok but what about helbore bayonet build 🤔

frank ether
#

wonder if the new cleave blessing is gonna be bugged and work on bayo

#

wait no that wouldn't

uncut pebble
uncut pebble
#

Idk, you're using a larger caliber round with an actual barrel and rifling.

#

Ballistically speaking, you're going to do better against armor and worse against flesh because you have more energy.

frank ether
#

iags already shred anything below a crusher

#

they also shred a crusher if you put some rending

uncut pebble
#

Iags in general need a retune. That was the point I was making.

somber axle
#

Boltgun/Boltpistol had the weakness vs Infested and the next update is buffing them to remove that weakness

#

Something like .4 or .5 ADM vs Infested changing to .9 or 1.0

frank ether
#

they aren't fixing the aim though

somber axle
#

Not yet but it is a priority

frank ether
#

I guess you can shoot dogs with it now

somber axle
#

They are buffing sway

#

Less swinging the gun around

#

But it does still have the bugged aim

frank ether
#

they're also adding more bullet magnetism

#

or fatter bullets as some may say

somber axle
#

So it's still an issue but less of an issue

#

I'm curious how it will feel after the buffs tbh

frank ether
#

they're already very good (on zealot)

somber axle
#

It's a lot of QoL changes

frank ether
#

since I can just hipfire and ignore the jank FS can't fix

somber axle
#

They're already very fun to play with imo

uncut pebble
#

I'm curious of the damage potential of mag dumping a puncture boltgun, tbh.

somber axle
#

Oh also I think they're adding some cleave to the Boltpistol and giving some cleave to the Agripina Revolver too

uncut pebble
#

I want to see how much damage that is capable of.

frank ether
#

some of the weapons in this game are popular because the alternatives are just fucking jank in the most boring way possible

somber axle
#

Less times a Poxwalker eats the shot and accidentally protects the target you meant to hit

frank ether
#

its not like the ''oh you need to master this'' kind of jank

#

its the ''we couldn't code this properly'' kindd

somber axle
uncut pebble
#

Yeah but also thunderous or whatever it is exists on boltgun.

somber axle
#

Magdumping will just put it to that cap faster

uncut pebble
#

So mag dumping with lots of bleed and armor reduction.

unique orchid
frank ether
#

you're either giving up cavalcade or pinning fire for it and neither seems smart on a veteran

somber axle
#

Shattering + Cavalcade is the magdump blessing combo for bosses/Crushers iirc?

uncut pebble
frank ether
#

still not smart

somber axle
#

Idk if Puncture will compete to push out either of those

frank ether
#

you put boltgun on zealot to ERASE things in TTK nothing can match

#

why'd you want to bother with damage over time

somber axle
#

Puncture is funny on Boltpistol because the bleed helps it hit breakpoints it is just shy of

frank ether
#

on a boltpistol sure you want to hipfire once and let the dot finish

#

maybe there might be some weird niche I'm not considering

#

but I'm not seeing it

unique orchid
#

There are a large number of fringe niches in this game it seems

tough tiger
#

It is a tide game after all

unique orchid
#

Not only that, a tide game with a massive skill tree

midnight totem
#

Personally I think puncture is named wrong

#

How about, "cratered wounds"

#

Because that's how a bolt operates. It goes in and booms

tough tiger
#

How about bolter induced menstruation

midnight totem
#

Forget 4 stacks of bleeding

#

It's not a lasgun that cauterises even as it flashheats the spot of impact

frank ether
#

I'll just pretend I'm right over worrying over situations like ''what if I faced two morbillion bulwarks and only puncture bolter nightmare blunt rotation could save the day'' kind of thought process lmao

unique orchid
#

To be fair ogrynspam is a valid concern above diff 3

midnight totem
#

Only one solution to that plush

tough tiger
#

A fate worse than death

frank ether
#

myself that is

midnight totem
tall torrent
#

even for shattering impact builds, calvacade and PF would outperform

tough tiger
#

True

uncut pebble
#

We will see.

midnight totem
#

Also isn't bolter getting fire frenzy?

#

Fuck yeah

#

Real mag dump there

frank ether
#

what did fire frenzy do again

#

oh close damage

unique orchid
#

Handy

frank ether
#

they buffed close damage range a bit I guess so its not complete fubar

#

but my gut feeling tells me I'll probably stick with pinning fire cause its so easy to proc

#

another thing to consider is how the hell will you proc this fully for a boss magdump which I imagine is what you want it for right?

midnight totem
#

Why not both

frank ether
#

hmm.. I might on zealot

#

cavalcade hard to pass

#

have you seen the crit numbers on boltgun? insane

#

most your dmg comes from crits

amber ether
#

tbf nothing that bolter 1 shots at close range is actually worth spending a shot on

#

rather than just meleeing them

frank ether
#

I mean this will have its ups over pinning

#

like hey rager pack in my face and my melee sucks at them kind of situation

#

or suprise 35 shotgunners jumpscare

amber ether
#

does bolter stagger ragers?

#

been a while since Ive played

frank ether
#

It just murks them

#

Idk about stagger, dont think so

amber ether
#

waiting for the update thumbsup_ogryn

frank ether
#

boltgun has insane stagger, its just that I'm not sure about rager behavior

amber ether
#

it's kinda funny that the only melee that can knock down crushers is used by the frailest class

#

stagger is weird in this game

tame lodge
#

Yes and no

amber ether

b b. bwaded m mowomentum

pastel yew
#

realistically any of the blessings like that need to be removed or changed, with the base weapons receiving better innate cleave

#

as both the axe and hs feel so awful without them

#

and so god tier with them

tall torrent
#

I'd much prefer BM only carried first target dmg to 2nd target, and combat axes had like 6+ cleave on light atks

pastel yew
#

not that such balance discussion matters as

#

best we can get is everything buffed

#

nothing nerfed

#

every patch

#

then once every 6 months fs grabs a weapon and takes it out back to set an example

tall torrent
#

but I'm also not gonna complain abt "no changes to BM" when blaze trauma is getting buffed in the same patch

pastel yew
#

so much that should get nerfed isn't

#

no enemy nerfs to adjust either like

#

common reddit take "no power creep, its fun creep" "just stop complaining and ruining the fun"

tall torrent
#

It can be bad

#

There’re actual veteran players who think +25% weapon swap speed is irrelevant

pastel yew
#

aint no way

#

"glad I'm not the only one" ;-;

#

on a couple weapons this is just

#

a dead point

#

but the majority of the time its really good

#

and the weapons that need it, are really happy for it

tall torrent
#

Be glad that they’re not the vocal majority

pastel yew
#

idk man there are people at fat shark paid for making such statements and implementing them as features it seems

tall torrent
#

FS seems to do balance by themselves & playtester feedback

#

Not from Reddit / forum whiners

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

idk I feel like a lot of changes are directed at average players rather than upper levels of difficulty

#

I don't know who the playtesters are but like

#

what exactly are they play testing to come to these conclusions

pastel yew
#

its it just a fear response to seeing people shit on helldivers for nerfing things

tall torrent
#

But u also can’t deny that some of the new blessings are actually interesting & useful

pastel yew
#

yeah like

#

the quality of life stuff? great. love it.

#

weapon diversity? cool outside of vet just... being better with them

#

but buffing and not nerfing already strong options is pretty wild

#

I was already dropping from games with two plasma guns anyway so life wont change much there

radiant flint
#

for weapon specialist is it really 33% crit chance per stack? why so much if it stacks up to 10

tall torrent
#

Veteran just scales better with every weapon that’s made available to them so I think they need to make other classes’ exclusive weapons more attractive

radiant flint
#

o ok

pastel yew
#

its 100% crit effectively once you have 4 stacks, but only on your first shot

tall torrent
#

I hope crusher & thunder hammers are actually top tier meta weapons next patch

#

Crusher I don’t doubt

pastel yew
#

crusher was already one of the better options for zealot no/

#

and it got stronger so

tall torrent
#

Well it needs to compete with veteran scaling

pastel yew
#

the thunder hammers I do hope get buffed to viablity as... now hs is on vet, there is literally no reason to play zealot

for me at least

Vicious offering
Heavy atk kills gain 7.5% 10% total toughness

I Shall Not Fall (Martyrdom TDR)
TDR per stack 5% 6.5%

and I guess the tdr buff is cool?

#

tankyness was

#

already insane

#

I feel like more attack speed

#

would have been cooler

tall torrent
#

Vicious offering is a pretty free pick if u take Bleed for the Emperor

#

Prob the best toughness gain node on zealot next to second wind

#

Would also pair well with thunder hammers

earnest bone
#

i enjoyed it with hs9

pastel yew
#

I'm so unreasonably happy

#

that they're giving the empowered strike a unique overhead

#

and yet so confused why they didnt just give it.. some degree of pleb cleave

tall torrent
#

They did

pastel yew
#

in that case neat!

#

still, easier head bonk

earnest bone
#

they changed cleave from 1 to 3

#

so you will ignore a tiny mob at least

pastel yew
#

same as the two new .. or.. "new" chainsword variants where they just seem like pretty direct improvements to the attack patterns

tall torrent
#

Special activated attack changes:
Added a small amount of cleave to Heavy activated attacks:
Cleave distribution {1.0,3.0}.
Attack power distribution {400,800} when cleaving.
Cannot cleave through Elites, Specialists, Monstrosities and Captains.

for Crucis

#

outside of that one patch where they were pretty silly

#

before getting their lights nerfed

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

who does that to themself

tall torrent
#

because zealot has piety and chainswords' best part is that they don't downscale in finesse much in cleave

#

on veteran it's a question of why'd u run it over the other really strong melee weapons

pastel yew
#

and that works out better than just using an evis?

tall torrent

yea

also even people that are knowledgeable can be wrong

my general take is that darktide optimization is like making formula 1 cars that will only ever be drove on city streets

theres a level of efficiency that does not matter, because something remotely efficient already dominates

unrelated note but SM2 also kinda poopy, I'm hoping the coop is better but... I'm 5 missions in? I think to the main story and it is really not good

very pretty though

after a certain point in DT min-max, it's all just sidegrades

adding it to my wishlist

honestly as long as the combat is tight, and there are reasonably challenging encounters

strong aesthetic

I'll probably love it

tall torrent

Wukong’s best parts are
Environment & character design
Artistic presentation
Storytelling & writing
Core combat design

But this game is not good in:
Level structure design & player guidance
Certain enemies’ hitbox (you’ll know what I mean after u play it)
High NG+ difficulty balance

pastel yew

okay this seems cool

definitely seems lower budget than other souls likes but like, it still looks good

and even the best looking games can be awful

just weapon balance is kinda whack

but the level design is so bad as to feel pointless

the bosses I did fight seemed cool

visually and mechanically

but the rest of the game is just following a straight path

#

its extremely linear

There’re a lot of hidden content in this game (that you’d know to look for if u know JTTW lore well)

maybe they got inspiration from GoW

isnt god of war meant to be more story character driven?

Chapter 2, 3 and 4 are more open

The sooner u get a feel for stamina & when to use heavy attacks

The better you’ll be

It’s not quite dodge dance like souls titles

mhm I mean I'm definitely interested

the aesthetic of the game is super cool

You’re encouraged to make your own openings to attack

and it seems to be overwhelmingly adored in spite of the negatives you list

Instead of dodging boss attacks and getting attack window

There’s a spell u get that allows u to i-frame parry but has cooldown & costs mana

There’s also smth called “seeing through” with varied combo attacks (but u need to be already attacking to use it) that also gives i-frames
