Voice of Command needs a buff

#

+100 toughness again pls

red robin
#

Just get a reliable duo to shout with you

#

But 50+ is still a solid amount

#

But uh, does VoC function as toughness for the sake of toughness replenishment talents?

#

Example being 200 + 50 = 250 and regen 15% flat of that 250 from exhilarating takedown?

faint beacon
#

I see ANY

#

Veteran needs buffs comments I just sigh in disappointment

red robin
#

Skirmisher definitely needs it

#

Wasted talent

#

5 seconds to 8 seconds is massive

faint beacon
#

Literally only those small things and ES now being WORSE SG

red robin
#

All it needs is better ticking

faint beacon
#

Veteran is fine and doesn’t need buffs

#

Hell needs nerfs

#

Lmao

red robin
#

There’s buffs and then there’s quality of life improvements

faint beacon
#

VOC and superiority both need nerfs

red robin
#

I’d rather see things adjusted to round off notable strengths

#

Like maybe placing superiority complex higher in the tree

#

VoC cd increase by 15 seconds

faint beacon
#

VOC imo shouldn’t have golden toughness

#

It should just be a buff that increases TDR

#

increase its CD

last parcel
#

+100% tdr

red robin
#

Infiltrate has something similar

analog mural
#

I don't mind them having gold toughness but they shouldn't stack on eachother and the cdr should be longer

red robin
#

That 50% dmg reduction is fun

faint beacon
#

and hit superior with a Surv nerf of procs every X seconds

red robin
#

I used to use the -90% less threat, but I like the idea of frontlining shooters

#

Or gunners if I am bold

#

I should get more gunner resist

#

I kinda die sometimes in embarrassing ways

#

I use none

topaz lance
#

FINALLY

#

PRAISE THE EMPEROR

#

MAKE IT TRIGGER WS TOO AND IT'S PERFECT

#

fuck it only took a year and some

red robin
#

Woah

#

That’s massive

inland orchid
#

staregryn free weakspot exists it’s called landing the shot

topaz lance
inland orchid
#

Could’ve fooled me they both fit the “WS” acronym wise

red robin
#

I can finally run my double barrel executioners stance build with WS with no shame

topaz lance
#

I feel like combat shotties and bolt pistol are also interesting with that type of build.

faint beacon
#

SG being better ES this update as well lmao

red robin
#

Executioners stance is actually goated now with melee not cancelling it

#

Yeah

faint beacon
#

Suppression immunity on proc

red robin
#

I mean marksmen focus is there also

faint beacon
#

Actually stinky

red robin
#

Just about the same efficiency with 15 stacks is 112.5% finesse

tame lodge
#

Now here's the conundrum

#

SG last 12 seconds if you just sit there

faint beacon
#

Yes

tame lodge
#

But you can keep Exec for more than 12

faint beacon
#

Both theoretically can go infinitely

#

It’s just ES is easier to maintain

#

Actually hell the only downside you could manage is SG peril more so acting as a forced CD period

tame lodge
#

To me
SG vs Exec will always end up on a draw ngl

faint beacon
#

Oh I know why

#

Melee actually procs SG

#

ES you’re forced to stay in gun

tame lodge
#

That might work as a tie breaker

faint beacon
#

That’s why it irked me

red robin
#

I like the idea they’re both fun for both classes

faint beacon
#

You can build some insane SG stacks with melee alone

#

Veteran you swap to melee it drops

red robin
#

Not having melee talents when you invest on the left side of the tree hurts bad

#

Reciprocity my beloved

tame lodge
red robin
#

Lmao

#

Trash and Garbage in a fight to the death

tame lodge
#

Lmfao

faint beacon
#

I’d rather they let Vet do it also or at least the idea of

#

When I’m forced into a melee scenario as vet

#

Happens a lot btw

#

It doesn’t drop it

#

So I can just quickly dome a shooter before it drops to maintain it

red robin
#

Melee time

tame lodge
#

What the hell

#

💀

#

Melee vets using exec for the slow/stun immunity

red robin
#

Woah

#

That’s actually kinda neat

#

Low mobility rifle finally has its weakspot removed

idle swallow
#

taking exe stance just for temp thy wrath be swift

red robin
#

You can whip out the +13% dodge range knife will fuck

#

Or the MK 5 duelling sword with its +15%

tame lodge
#

Yeah, budget twbs

red robin
#

I just wish infiltrate wasn’t so point hungry on the right side of the tree which is already point hungry

#

We need level 35 talent cap now and new difficulty

grim scroll
#

I'm running with a chainsaw as my melee weapon. I really only use it for when I have to reload or if there's a horde swarming. What are perks best suitable for that weapon? I'm at Hadron right now looking to refine it.

#

Right now I've got equipped 15% block efficiency (I almost never ever block), and 25% Damange (Infested enemies)

severe gale
weary peak
#

thank you for verifying why I go flak on DBarrel

#

I tell everyone to just shoot them in the balls

#

it 1 shots them lmfao

#

but i never could give a proper explanation why

tame lodge
#

Because it already has big maniac damage

red robin
#

So can it 1 shot a mutant without maniac?

#

With the double barrel blast?

you could even go infested to extend the poxwalker clear distance but that’s more just for funny lol

severe gale
red robin

That 12% close damage do feel kinda of good on a skirmisher build

severe gale
#

its nice on WS

#

because u can kill 1 to get a shot back

#

and itll still crit

red robin
#

That 8 second buff to skirmisher will make me into tf2 scout

#

Do you ever think there will be a sprint speed perk ever?

#

Even if it is 5% or so

#

10% mayhaps

red robin
#

Love that build

#

Shame I sent my run and gun + both barrels into oblivion just to get both barrels

#

Base damage increase from skirmisher is nutty on the double barrel

#

I just wish it had less damage falloff

#

I just want to use the double barrel with deadshot, run and gun, and executioners stance as a choked hunting shotgun

#

But the damage falloff from range hurts bad

#

Also full bore doesn’t proc on a super narrow spread on the double shot

frank ether
red robin
#

If the buff refreshes on melee kill

#

It’s joever

#

Executioners stance will be my favourite movement build

#

Goodbye infiltrate

tame lodge
#

I mean, you could stab your marked target with the Helbore and it would refresh

red robin
#

True

frank ether
#

like I find it weird they put vet tree in a way where most popular ults are both defensive and kinda boring

red robin
#

Infiltrate is solid front line with 50% damage reduction

#

Over -90% cover

#

Which is 100% damage reduction as your team is now baring the cross of aggro

frank ether
#

if you take %90 aggro why would you take TDR with it

#

do you like unironically put 3 points into infiltrate

#

or do you mean you choose one or the other

calm plinth
#

new to the game, can you actually play veteran as mostly ranged with sparse melee or is ammo too tight?

last parcel
frank ether
#

I do take the extra damage node though

#

moar damage betterer

thorn lark
#

And the talents you will use so that you are ammo positive or don't put too much of a strain on your team resources

frank ether
#

some things are just detrimental to shoot regardless of ammo in this game

#

poxwalker = toughness battery

#

poxbursters you can hurt teammates if you shoot near them

#

other than that a lot of weapons you can just shoot at gunners, specials, elites all day long and still have good ammo

oblique totem
red robin
#

I wish I was that stupid

#

It would be so much simpler

red robin
#

But damn does the +1 blitz and movement revive speed feel underwhelming

#

But damn does the revive and rescue speed ever do work with infiltrate

#

weapon specialist is a nice alternative to focus target and gives more melee power, but not every weapon wants or needs ammo refill extension

So you need just weapons specialist

What about the ogryns and monstrosity node?

#

Just reg damnation quick plays

I just like the idea of the standard shovel having 125% bonus weakspot damage on top of its hard hitting push attack that goes hard on headshots

30% precision strikes + 10% perk + 60% blessing + 25% desperado

you could do that on the old shovel too

are the other shovels a semi-recent addition or have they always been in game and I'm just dumb

red robin

Standard shovel has always been there

The mk 3 and mk 7 are additions that have a special where you can pick axe into armor really good

frank ether
#

I actually dont have too much experience with the fold shovels

#

I didn't really like them personally

#

the fold feels gimmicky and not as satisfying as push attack spamming on standard shovel

#

but I'll pick it up again for variety sake

red robin
#

If you don’t have an answer for carapace and you don’t like slow mobility of the power sword, the folding shovel does work

#

The mk 7 shovel has good horde clear with decimator and good heavies

#

It’s special procs skullcrusher on a 2 proc hit of the special

#

Thing is tho you can’t dodge out of the impale

#

I think

#

But the thing you hit is stunned/staggered

#

Mk3 shovel kinda got bad attack combos

#

Also uncanny is super redundant with the special attack

#

Bro already spiking the head

#

Thinking abt it

#

Uncanny would probably pop the head without being locked into the pull out damage

#

And probably make the pull out do more damage at 0 stacks

#

Same with thrust also

Idk it has options ngl

# fringe mica And they get mad when I take too long
  • if 3 people are ahead and you are ended somewhat far behind, that's to be expected (people yelling)
  • if you feel like you are always behind, that's probably because you are wasting too much time killing trash mobs or something (collecting resources?)
  • you can kinda avoid all of that if you go with a Stealth build, as you can easily rejoin the team, reposition if backed into a corner or help a downed teammate.
    As for farming - normal Damnation missions via Quickplay i guess is da way. As you get better at the game (and better build/weapons), your clear speed and resource collect speed will improve drastically.

the director in darktide will punish you for taking to long in an area

#

with more special spawns

#

you have to keep moving

#

most people are trying to get a mission done in 20-25 minutes

#

also always knock down idols if you can, getting all 4 on a damnation adds 200 plasteel to the pile. They're never really out of the way so they're easy nabs if you know where to look

#

The important part is to match the pace of the match. If the party is overall moving through a level without trouble at speed, it's better to match that speed even if it means ignoring side paths for potential resources

#

If a party is struggling and trying to speed through segments they'll naturally hit the roadblock of elites and specials sandwiching them, and you'll need to be prepared to help them when they fall headfirst into the noose they've been looping around their neck at record speed

#

Either they'll slow down and adjust to the threats or fall and be forced to stop to let you deal with things

#

But always try to keep pace with the party overall

#

one person sprinting off is not the party overall

#

one person remaining behind is not the party overall

#

If they bite off more than they can chew don't try to swallow the mess they made all at once

balmy flume
#

It’s a fine balancing act, especially in PUGs

#

But in essence, play the maps enough, you start to get an innate sense of how the AI director “divides” the map mobs

#

And you, too, will develop a sense of when you should hold back just a little in case things get dicey

#

And when to push hard

Speedrunners are extremely rare on auric

i don’t think i’ve ever seen one

am i the speed runner?

solemn niche
#

there is also plan B: enter stealth im sure the party will handle it somehow

somber axle
#

also idk about speedrunners in aurics tbh just people comfortable moving at different speeds

#

if you catch someone trying to be a speedrunner in an auric most times they're just unfamiliar with the difficulty and thinking faster means better so they fall on their face a lot

#

faster is better but only if you can handle it

Damn, ppl talk about keeping pace in pub games. Meanwhile on asian servers ppl just go fuck it we ball and not communicate at all

agile finch
#

so like whats the actual gameplay differences between infantry and braced autoguns

#

me no understand

earnest bone
agile finch
#

ahh i see

#

so braced is more for overpenning hordes then

#

?

earnest bone
#

like ragers and maulers

agile finch
#

icic

tall torrent
#

And still doesn’t go through melee elites

earnest bone
#

the trashiest of trash mobs

#

but its still works

tall torrent
#

Graia and Columnus have the same 1.5 cleave

#

U can go through a groaner and that’s it

#

Agripinaa mk8 is 3 cleave so you get to shoot through 1 human specialist or shotgunner

earnest bone
#

so it goes at least to 2+

#

or not, im lazy to calc

#

32.5

#

1.98

tall torrent
#

1.98 allows u to go through like 1 shooter/stalker/poxwalker

#

It’s not such a huge difference compared to infantry Autoguns

tame lodge
#

Also Brautos have higher suppression value

tall torrent
#

Poxwalker is 1.5
Need 3+ to cleave through 2

#

Wait I might be remembering wrong

#

Got it mixed up with shooters & stalkers mb

tame lodge
#

Right, bring like a Helbore for single target and Brauto for horde, only picks ammo for brauto

#

Aw, I was about to bring 2 shotguns

thorn lark
#

Agri braced + deathspitter + fire frenzy + warp charges psyker. I feel it already.

tame lodge
#

There's also the peril cleave

#

Which I'm not sure if it'll apply to ranged

fading yarrow
tame lodge
#

Yeah now you can go Exec and path towards melee

thorn lark
#

Hmmmmmm

tame lodge
#

Yeah unspecified

thorn lark

Agri brauto going 6 cleave does put a smile on my face

Chainaxe psyker will be demented too

#

Maybe bloodthirsty scryer will be viable

tame lodge
agile finch
#

🙏🏼

tame lodge
#

But yeah
You can wallhax and get rid of ranged enemies while also going hard on melee

#

The hybrid class is even more hybrid

agile finch

i feel like i run out of ammo so often on vet

#

im normally a soyker player

having an ammo limit feelsbad

If you just shoot to eliminate elites and specialists it's fine

ive tried so hard to make staff scryer work

also do you guys run keystoneless ever

i only know how to talent for psyker i dont know shit on how to build a vet

Mainly because recon just has bad scaling with them

Using shock maul and laspistol on a weapon spec build and holy crap this feels so good to use.

agile finch

is marksman focus actually good

tall torrent
uncut pebble
#

Yes, but it's sort of hard to maintain.

#

Unless you're using something that wouldn't benefit from it much, like a ciag or recon.

agile finch
#

it just seems like keeping it up would be ammo hungy

tall torrent
#

Depends

thorn lark
uncut pebble
#

Depends on whether or not you're running shock trooper or survivalist.

#

You kind of have to have good ammo economy to make good use of the keystone.

awkward even

it's like using sg + assail

it feels wrong

i think its just cause my roll is shit so it takes so many bullets to kill things

Boltpistol grenadier is top 5 build on veteran but needs specific roll stuff

it's like you

Throw one only when you have true aim racked up.

Try Weapon Specialist

I literally just got off my pc but you want to do something with weapon specialist as your keystone.

The only auxiliary node you want to take is always prepared.

stick entirely to the right side yeah?

No, not necessarily.

You can mix and match from either side

could anyone help build one and show me to copy please?

You can go kraks > kill team > voc > weapon spec.

Kraks are the sticky ones.

yeah thats the one i like

red robin

Put the last point into reciprocity

uncut pebble
#

Meant to turn the ping off, sorry.

tall torrent
#

On an axe & revolver build, rending strikes is not necessary most of the time

uncut pebble
#

Actually yeah that's valid. Reciprocity it is, then.

tall torrent
#

Reciprocity is also kind of whatever for this set-up

#

It’s not laspistol

elder fiber

how much is reciprocity doing for surgical zarona or rashad here

red robin

Man

#

Would competitive urge be neat?

tall torrent
uncut pebble
#

Other choices are field improv, deadshot, or the ammo one on the left.

What’s so bad about it?

Probably just take the ammo

Max critical bonus zarona is what, 21%?

Yea

And vet has... 5% base?

what about 25 percent ammo for the extra skill point?

uncut pebble

Trying to figure out how much value you'd get out of deadshot.

It’s up to preference at this point

Competitive Edge is such a weird skill

It never procs when you need it

Competitive Urge is hadron gambling but during missions

Roll well and you have near permanent 20% damage buff

Roll bad and u waste a talent point

red robin

True

It just counts towards your allies killing things?

tall torrent

Only ur allies’ kills can trigger it

and THAT’S WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOO
ah fuck where’d all my dockets go

tall torrent

So if you’re killing too well, u don’t benefit

red robin

Ok nvm

tall torrent
#

U need to count on ur teammates to kill stuff for it to work in your favour

red robin
#

Literally worthless with my manstopper DB

tall torrent
#

Which is why it’s like hadron gambling

#

If u end a game with ~600k damage while everybody else is ~300k you pretty much murdered yourself out of Comp Urge uptime

red robin

Yeah

#

Nvm

Dogshit talent

If it had a more reasonable proc condition it’d be fine

It would be great if it could benefit from your kills, or at least had like a stacking % chance to proc.

Cool concept on paper but it’s just sorta inconsistent

how's survivalist looking

Depends on the weapon but still S tier

steep vault

good to see

a while ago it got nerfed hard right

radiant chasm

went from SSS+ tier to S+ tier

lyric dock
#

It's still really good. Just no longer let you play entire maps without picking up some ammo pick ups

#

And you won't be silently judged for not running it

tall torrent
lyric dock
#

Still better to run most of the time as the other 2 auras Vet has don't give any real insane value outside of some extremely rare breakpoints with fire team meager 5% damage bump

radiant chasm

movement speed is good and has good pathing

#

it's a very subtle effect tho

steep vault

yeh I've been running movement

magic trout
# steep vault how's survivalist looking

Mostly shine on ammo eater weapons like bolter, braced AG, Infantry AG, Bolt pistol aside from those weapons its not so necesary
For las weapons you have shock trooper perk

#

Any advice to complete 250 kills with crit/weak spot using weapon specialist keystone penance?

crude fiber
#

High crit weapons like knife or just get 3 stacks of ranged and use revolver

lyric dock
magic trout
lyric dock
#

Yeah

#

It's one of those play passively and you'll get it within a few games

steep vault
#

or knife braced

magic trout
steep vault
#

I've been doing knife braced

steep vault
#

so you gain enough keystone stack, switch weapon and start critting

magic trout
lyric dock
steep vault
#

that's the only way that counts

steep vault
#

so normal crits while only using knife don't count

steep vault
#

you need to kill w/ ranged, close in and start stabbing

magic trout
lyric dock
#

It has to during the short window the buff is active

steep vault
#

FINALLY

#

the riposte I need

lyric dock
#

The revolver is generally great because it's quick to pull out and fire

#

Slower weapons will make the challenge harder for no reason

#

And if you don't care for getting Melee specialist kills. Equip a good horde clear melee like the Power sword to quickly get Range specialist stacks whenever you see a Elite and/or specialist. Switch the revolver and pop some skulls

#

Focus down elites and specialists you can 1 tap consistently to squeeze out as many kills you can during the short window the buff is active.

i still run out

I run several fairly ammo intensive builds without survivalist

Never go into orange

might just be aim skill issue and or bad weap rolls

since it takes more shots to kill when you have garbage guns

What gun are you using

boltpistol mostly rn

but i dont have the blessing to hit some 1/2 tap breakpoints

not a bad thing to have

Recon Lasguns the slow high damage one or low fast one or the medium?

The slow one has the advantage to not drain your ammo so quickly... which is great!!
But its alot worse for horde clear

Mhmm i wanted to go for the medium one but the medium one randomly has just 200 less total ammo

if you care about horde clear just get the 7a cause it has a bit of cleave

Oooh thats the high damage one then thanks for the info

using the fast one now and it does really well with that

but thats just a random one i found
