Plasma is like 50 dmg off from dreg rager 1hs with FT

i can't believe reddit won with plasma buffs

I honestly find the plasma gun boring staregryn

tall torrent

because it actually does smth

lavish token

Sucks dick

tall torrent
full nacelle
#

I only play it in my born leader build for the gloryhunter meme

#

if I want to play overpowered special sniper I go Zarona

tall torrent
#

next patch I'll prob swap to gets hot + energy leakage

#

that'll be the true dps minmax plasma

frank basin
#

It is one of vent the heat blessing?

#

On crit

tall torrent

#

oh incidentally rip to my friends who rolled for the damage-optimized charge rate plasma

#

before they changed that

frank basin
#

Oh that just increase maximum crits chance

smoky sparrow
#

power, not crit chance

#

i got them confused again

frank basin
#

Alright

tall torrent
#

the crit chance one is gets hot lite

frank basin
#

I was meant focus cooling

red robin
#

Yeah that seems kinda mid

tall torrent
#

focused cooling is fun but ultimately mid

full nacelle
#

Oh what's everyone's thoughts on the hacker shotgun?

red robin
#

Gets hot nutty

frank basin
#

Gonna use it

full nacelle
#

I haven't found a good enough one to really try it

red robin
#

Only shotgun I use

full nacelle
#

okayyyyy

potent canyon
#

Ooh man, haven't played since last December and the VId Recon just slaps now. Glad a kept a good roll

full nacelle
#

think that'll be the next build I do once the itemization update rolls out

red robin
#

Manstopper and Scattershot nutty

full nacelle
#

I have that on my Lawbringer

red robin
#

Run and Gun and Terrifying barrage if I wanna troll with skirmisher

full nacelle
#

thing clears hordes in a couple shots

tall torrent
#

but the fact that u can only stack it from sprinting

#

no dodge

#

no slide

full nacelle
#

I'm just glad it's getting a buff

tall torrent
#

u could sprint slide forever and get like 2 stacks

tall torrent
full nacelle
#

probably won't be enough but you know

tall torrent
#

and that's not getting buffed

red robin
#

Me using double barrel and run and gun

tall torrent
#

5s to 8s duration is fine

#

but stacking method is just so ass

full nacelle
#

I've been using it on my autopistol build cause I'm constantly sprinting when I'm not using the secondary fire

#

but it still constantly falls off with only 5 seconds staregryn

tall torrent
#

u can't sprint slide to stack skirmisher and it's annoying

red robin
#

Ehh, it’s not bad on three +3 stamina and sprint efficiency

#

It’s trolling I know

blazing notch
#

Would you consider Determined (Suppression Immunity) useless on this when using a plasma gun because of how infrequent you use charged shots?

red robin
#

Same with run and gun

#

I wish it had a 0.2-0.3 window to slide and shoot

tall torrent
#

u physically cannot be suppressed off target when using plasma

full nacelle
#

it also hurts that Skirmisher doesn't refresh as soon as you start sprinting

full nacelle
#

you have to sprint for like a full second at least

blazing notch
#

me to you when you tell me plasma has built in immunity

red robin
#

And it dropping all at once is vile

full nacelle
#

yeah it's just real clunky

red robin
#

8 seconds isn’t a good enough buff tbh

tame lodge
#

Suppression isn't real anyways gigachad1

blazing notch
#

Damn. Lots to learn still about this game

red robin
#

Band aid over real issues like sprint sliding, tick rate, and fall off

full nacelle
#

yeah there were a lot more ways they could have buffed it

red robin
#

Idkkk

full nacelle
#

would have loved it if it just lost one stack at a time

blazing notch
#

I just hit level 30 on every class and still getting schooled 😮‍💨

red robin
#

I got my fingers crossed for the official drop patch notes

tall torrent
red robin
#

Doubt anything is gonna happen

#

I’m coping hard tho

full nacelle
#

I'm praying they give us some good stuff... Shotgun buffs pls

red robin
#

Idk what they could do to shotguns

#

Ammo and dmg?

smoky sparrow
#

up range

red robin
#

The combat ones

full nacelle
#

increase reload speed for one

red robin
#

YES I HATE DAMAGE FALLOFF

full nacelle
#

primary fire damage is cheeks

smoky sparrow
#

also base damage could be a lot higher point blank

full nacelle
#

they could be good but they're so clunky

tame lodge
full nacelle
#

you don't play them like shotguns lol

red robin
#

I miss vt2 with the ranged oriented classes having way better damage falloff at longer ranges

full nacelle
#

you play them like lever action rifles

#

sniping with your secondary fire and spending half the match reloading

red robin
#

Yeah

#

Wish there was a blessing that made the special loading faster

#

Or just innate weapon mechanic

smoky sparrow
#

to be fair, reloading constantly is kind of the deal with shotguns

full nacelle
#

yeah but they don't have to make it so damn slow

smoky sparrow
#

is there speed loader for the combat shotties?

red robin
#

Me when I take a million reload speed talents

red robin
#

Also quick question

#

Would the fanning revolver be better now?

tall torrent
tall torrent
red robin
#

Or still overshadowed by the zarona?

tall torrent
#

the issue with agripinaa 14 is that

#

ur still stuck with a finesse weapon

smoky sparrow
#

fanning revolver has quicker reload, thats it with the positives

tall torrent
#

gale and I tried it before

red robin
#

Punching the air rn

tall torrent
#

the biggest problem is that

#

u not only do not have 1 shot breakpoints on any of the major enemies

#

u also get turbo screwed if u land even a single bodyshot

full nacelle
#

fanning revolver is balanced... zarona revolver is overpowered

#

that's the main problem

tall torrent
#

I hope they buff fan revolver's dmg to allow 1 tap breakpoints on it

smoky sparrow
#

zarona wouldnt be OVERpowered if the fanning one was a lil bit better

tall torrent
smoky sparrow
#

theres just no reason to use it

tall torrent
#

best gun on vet

red robin
#

And without run and gun, deadshot, and even maybe executioners stance the brace fire is annoying to snipe with

smoky sparrow
#

i still think plasma gun is superior

red robin
#

And that’s giving up vital crit blessing and handcannon

tall torrent
#

zarona hits 1 taps regardless of headshot

#

plasma needs full headshots for breakpoints

smoky sparrow
#

you also have 5 shots before reloading on the revolver

#

theres 2 sides to this

tall torrent
#

plasma gets 8

#

and WS feeds u reloads for free

#

zarona is just incredibly overtuned

red robin
#

Also wish the spam fire didn’t jump so much on the fanning revolver

full nacelle
#

my zarona build uses the entire Focus Target! tree cause I think it's more fun

red robin
#

Bro I just want hunt showdown on my darktide game

I get to constantly yell callouts at my team and then instantly pop them when they look over

exe stance agripinaa sounds wacky af

That’s a base damage buff right?

Enjoy yourself

full nacelle

I'm a build crafting machine

red robin
#

True

#

I be missing payday 2

full nacelle

only one I'm missing now is a bolt pistol build...

#

I never got to play that one

red robin
#

stacks with grenade tinkerer

full nacelle
red robin
#

Yeahhh

full nacelle
#

what does the bolt pistol do for it?

inland orchid
#

Expands explosion radius

red robin
#

Lethal proximity increases explosion radius by 25% and makes the bolt projectile blow up regardless of range

tall torrent
smoky sparrow
#

does it work the stagger dmg increase?

full nacelle
#

Oh and that works with grenades too?

tall torrent
#

mainly frag

red robin

Most notable is frag

#

And grenade tinkerer too

smoky sparrow

no keystone vet sucks

Don’t let anyone stop you from doing nutty things

should I do exe stance for my bolt pistol build?

longshot & killzone

#

u don't need them

#

put last point where u want

somber axle
#

If you want to play toughness battery support Vet grab Focus Target + Target Down

#

With good timing and pinging you get a minimum of 2 stacks every time for 10% toughness and 10% stamina to you and all allies in coherency

umbral scaffold
#

I mean 35% extra dmg, does do something when you're moving backwards

somber axle
#

On top of the usual damage benefits

umbral scaffold
#

See

somber axle
#

Oh wait revolver

umbral scaffold
#

2 seconds for one

#

I kill them instantly

somber axle
#

Yeah go Weapon Spec + Always Prepared

#

The auto reload on every melee kill is too good to pass up

umbral scaffold
#

I'd have to give up a lot to go down there

tall torrent
somber axle
#

Longshot and Killzone are luxury picks. They don't provide nearly as much value as they seem to (Longshot because of how little the damage bonus is at the majority of ranges you'll be fighting in and Killzone because good luck finding a time in any Auric where there are no enemies around in 8m) and if you can hit breakpoints without them they're not doing anything but fluffing up boss damage a bit

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

Depends entirely on positioning

#

and map ofc

They're funny to have if you want to do Psykanium Warrior clown science but they're pretty useless otherwise

Catch a Breath is good

More generally useful than Get Back in the Fight imo

insanely useful

5% per stack huh

For any source of toughness regen?

How does that stack with out for blood?

faint beacon

but with how MF stacks and how stupid it is to maintain

#

just not worth it

full nacelle
#

yeah... shame man

tame lodge
#

I was thinking 7.5%

full nacelle
#

I like MF on my lawbringer build but that's about it

faint beacon
#

I honestly wouldn't mind if Melee weakspot kills

#

refreshed stacks

full nacelle
#

you fire your special shot into a horde and get instant full stacks

faint beacon
#

instead of giving them

tall torrent
#

At 10 stacks of MF you get x1.5 to every toughness gained (non-coherency)

#

So O4B becomes 15% toughness with every melee kill

faint beacon
#

again I think they should make melee weakspot kills refresh it instead of gain stacks

tall torrent
#

Yea MF only working with ranged combat is annoying

faint beacon
#

If they did that then MF could straight up challenge WS on Keystone choice

faint beacon
#

Imo, WS is more free

tall torrent
#

It’ll be less cancer to play

faint beacon
#

But MF would be better for people who can actually click on heads

#

(me)

#

straight up that will be the only thing I will flex about myself is how in PVE games I have insane Headshot tracking

#

Actual PVP games its different

idle swallow

Mk2 laspistol with MF is the only time I like that keystone because you're still fairly mobile and it gets good value

also that accurate hipfire shootin makes me feel good

faint beacon
#

QOL to maintain stacks

#

aka just

#

fucking give us a way to keep them up via Melee

tall torrent
#

U just get X amount of stacks

#

Getting non-weakspot hits drop stacks

#

Weakspot hits return stacks back to u

#

Because the other aspect I don’t like abt it is how u have to already have killed a few enemies after entering combat to have it be active

faint beacon
#

So you'd rather a rework instead

tall torrent

I dont mind its current playstyle if they did what I stated

tall torrent

Besides having no interaction with melee whatsoever

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

One of the weirdest parts to me is how camouflage and 15 stacks work

#

Camouflage makes it easier to stack against bosses, but you're limited to 10

tall torrent
#

If it was just
U have stacks but lose them with non-weakspot hits and gain them back with weakspot kills

#

That’ll be so so much better

umbral scaffold
#

15 stacks doesn't stack on its own

#

Which means the stacks best suited for bosses have the type of stacking complete opposite to fighting them

I KNOW dude i am about to do this one and I already know its gonna suck

I'm gonna switch to Infiltrate

ngl I got it my first try but it was STRESSFUL

I used my tank shout vet build

if it don't get through your toughness it doesn't count

If I get On Overwatch, that'll domino into me getting For The Emperor II and III

which will feel nice to see

perhaps worth how sucky this is going to be to attempt

just hug walls and stay behind the team

@blazing notch

Grab Infiltrate, Low Profile and Overwatch talent nodes. Infiltrate stealth lasts 8 seconds. Low Profile also lasts 10 seconds and gives you -90% threat reduction when stealth breaks meaning if you are near a team mate you can literally shoot your gun and watch enemies walk past you to beat up the poor Psyker you're standing next to instead. Overwatch talent node gives you +1 charge at the cost of +33% CD. Infiltrate normally has 45 sec on CD. With Overwatch it has 2 charges and recharges every 1 min. Put Combat Ability Regen perks on all your curios to lower this CD. Use this with Tactical Awareness talent for -6 sec on ability CD per special kill. Get an ability CD reduction stim ASAP. Chain your Infiltrate and Low Profile during spicy fights to keep aggro off you and stay near the team. If things get extra hot pop CD stim and prepare to use Infiltrate more to keep hidden from the fight. You CAN still fight because during Low Profile you have the threat reduction. If an enemy hits you once? Pop Infiltrate immediately. Restores toughness to full and On Overwatch Penance only counts HP DAMAGE as failing it

peak voc balance

#

You can earn it on Malice so something like Low Intensity Malice would be the easiest place to get it

#

I share this every time it comes up and it has helped a fair few Vets earn the penance ezpz

blazing notch
#

Yeah keeping Infiltrate online and available as often as possible is going to be peak here

#

Also finding a relatively open layout mission

somber axle
#

Also you can underhand throw shredder frag grenades without breaking Infiltrate stealth so it makes for a safe way of clearing a room without putting yourself in danger

#

Kraks will break Infiltrate if they magnet to an armored target and pop

#

Smokes do not break Infiltrate either afaik

I ran regular damnation with 3 other veterans, all survivalist perks and all recon lasguns and we were basically playing left for dead it felt like we never struggled for ammo either and we were blasting all match long.

Plus the grenade regeneration perks and ohh boy it was fun I would recommend. Not meta but super fun

Felt like we were a kill team

Unless you have onslaughts talent on

quartz leaf
#

Infernus isn't bis on accatran right

#

7a is prob my favorite gun

#

In the game across all classes

full nacelle
#

just a solid full-on gunner build

#

shout is the meta choice on vet but exe stance is a lot more fun and the columnus makes great use of it

#

if you're not running stripped down blessing you could give up Duck and Dive and grab Demo Stockpile instead for more krak grenades

#

you'll also get a free point next patch because Relentless is going from a modifier to just being built into exe stance

#

so you could potentially pick up Grenade Tinkerer too when that happens

make yourself a grenadier

i like surgical more than head hunter because it stacks up so quickly on headhunters

crits apply to whole burst

HH is better on the v3, surgical is better on the v7

Due to how the strings work

What's best few vet melee now? I know power sword 3 was best a long time ago

For me it depends about the distance and fire rate. No doubt HH is better in heated close range battles

look at these little shock mauls, they are kinda mid

not even close

they have funny gimmick

but thats it

tall torrent

Pickaxe has slaughterer headtaker

Specifically on the car sales

I feel like smauls gimmick is useless on auric/ms, why would i waste time to shock one bulwark when there's like 6 of them on me, i just dont have time for that, gonna burn all 6 with flamer or w/e

i didnt play much with it

its cool, if not

U can stun bulwark if they swing at u with it

that's fine i guess

tall torrent
#

For 3-5 it’s fine

earnest bone
#

but dont forget that most people just slap

#

Skullcrusher + HV

#

so they wont ever see that

tall torrent
#

And shock mauls can’t easily break rager combo without impact blessings or using special

#

I already checked major stagger breakpoints for all veteran weapons

#

It’s now in guide

tall torrent
earnest bone
#

gonna test

tall torrent
#

After buff maybe

earnest bone
#

that Autopistol exist

#

seems like they did indeed forgotten that this thing exist

tall torrent
#

Most weapons actually are pretty bad at breaking rager combos

earnest bone
#

another funny moment is when someone said autopistol got good maniac damage

#

bro, did you ever tried to shoot the mutant

#

thats like 33% of your clip (and it takes ages)

#

so, some buffs for that thing wouldnt hurt

#

to make it at least an (maybe a non-crit) alternative to Columbus XV

sharp epoch
#

Autopistol just was too good then they had to nerf it to the ground

earnest bone
#

they sometimes overnerf certain weapons

#

they did that in Vermintide 2 too (cant remember much about V1)

Powersword

Used to have default like 3-4 powered swings, now you need power cycler for 3 💀

somber axle
#

Competitive Urge Keep Their Heads Down Powerburn Autopistol could be the most powerful suppression gun but unfortunately even if it is that's not really something that sets it apart from other weapons in a way that anyone cares about LOL

sharp epoch
#

The problem is like half the enemies don't get suppressed esp when you get to auric

somber axle
#

You can still reliably suppress enemies with certain weapons even without Keep Their Head Down

#

But usually you can just reach the breakpoints to kill them quicker so it's more a bonus for suppressing nearby targets while you're putting down others

#

Suppressing a group of Reapers is always nice

tall torrent
somber axle
#

Smiteker is stunning unless you mean the funny Terrifying Barrage blessing being on most staves because of how often it shows up when rolling blessings LOL

Say good bye to that blessing in a few days because as soon as locks are removed no one will ever touch it again

earnest bone
#

1 more day till goodbye casino

#

its finally happening

somber axle
#

The funny part is that you can suppress groaners but not poxwalkers and you'll only ever notice this if you're an unlucky Psyker with Terrifying Barrage or you have a weapon with very strong suppression while firing at elites among a mixed horde

#

AoE stun a horde because they got spooked at how the Flak Rager in full armour turned into swiss cheese in record time
