Prolly sell tbh since you can make any recon into any recon
I had every single tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 blessing pre-update
Unless you REALLY don't wanna spend mats to change the blessings and perks
ngl it's a lot of fun, two shoting crushers is great
not for all weapons but all lasguns and most other weapons too
Pokey stick time
I now have a reason to use my best guns again
Unlock blessings for the rest

I think you might be able to one shot them with a proc'd precog but i havent had it happen yet
I prefer mercy killer over precog
lol i don't
Personal preference
how are you getting bleed?
Serrated blade
No mercy killer on pokey sticks or have i missed something?
HEEELP
Whaaaaat is that?
Visual bug
offer them to the omnissiah(emperor) for exp
yeah see i'd rather have the talent point and not have to go for a body shot first to proc it, but hey do you, if it works it works
game is visual bugging so hard that i can't see shit half the time
at one point i could only see like a meter in front of me due to the ultrafog
did they fix that interaction?
in the final missions it was sections of clarity and then sections of seeing nothing
Jeez. I knew something would be broken but this is something else
I actually did that entire mission running off of divine guidance
i shit you not
thank fuck i brought a melee build
catachan devils claw sword + revolver
i love this build
how much warp juice did you drink
the mourningstar is also like this
i think its a negative reaction to dying a bunch in train crashes
Infernus or deathspitter? It's for a recon lasgun with dumdum already
Do we have a comprehensive weapon/talent/equipment guide like the ogrynomicon and the psyker codex anywhere available?
there's a wip guide in the pins that's almost done
ngl
is the stat preview sometimes wrong for the weapons? I had one chainsword say its max was 40 mobility, but when I powered it up it hit 60 lol
some of this is really fucking cool
Awesome, thanks!
yeah this is fucing sick
i wish there was a mod
yup, known issue
Isn't this PDF veteran guide a bit outdated? Has recon lasguns as a (niche) pick, when in my experience, my Vld is like, one of the best guns available
Just for recons, they are pretty spot on with most other things
but the Vld just slaps immensly hard
Ok sounds good, damn, makes it harder to remember lmao
I guess as long as it has a bunch of 80's then I can assume the mobility will go up
The MS word link?
What are the best blessings for a plasma gun ?
yes
Good question
I got dumdum on my lasgun already but should I keep infernus or go deathspitter?
deathspitter is much better but infernus makes happy chemical so it's up to you
Got ya
It's kinda wild that the Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII became the big winner of Secrets of the Machine God when the tweaks feel so minor. Slight bump in ADM for unarmoured/maniac at near range, fire rate increase and magazine increase
All the new blessings are confusing me too 😭
And plasma gun still has that weird mechanic where max charge rate does less damage
We talking about Vld or?
I HEARD YOU CAN DISMANTLE WEAPONS FOR PLASTEEL
yes

purple weapons will give you plasteel back when sold
MY HOARDING IS REWARDED
orange weapons give back plasteel and diamantine
I think out of all the classes psyker is the big winner, esp inferno/purg staff
did those staves get changed in SotMG
I didn't even notice LOL
unless you mean for the recent changes in Unlocked and Loaded
I haven't looked at Psyker changes yet
Ohh I meant this patch
yeah Lock and Loaded they got new blessings that cause brittleness and staff perks which literally only benefit inferno/purg staff
it's the same for all of them but yes i was specifically referring to the VId/XII
whats the dump stat for devil's claw sword?
trying to decide if i should feed this to the cyborg
it's in the linked WIP guide in the pins
i do not want to sign in with my msoft account
you don't need to
ah the pdf is still good
hey what happens if the game bugs out and thinks you have no blessings
this one hurts to sell but also low finesse lol
PDF file is super outdated
oh wait I think it's just loading really slow
U can download the Ms word file tho
sometimes you just gotta back out and reopen
other times it explode moj fuking komputer o no
which braced do people like now days?
i mean i assume mobility and cleave targets is still the dump stat for chatachan sword
Opinion on One Motion? I don't notice it enough.... i like it... but i think i like 50- speed instead.
Lol I can finally fix that 0% stability shotgun I've been holding onto for months.
it's already perfect 
Tried it on the bolter, visually could not tell the difference but I think you can start shooting faster now? Animation might not be up to speed
It's ....aight.
I don't understand how I could have put hours and hours into my Veteran's lasgun and power sword and only managed to get only mastery 2
I can't even swap my weapon marks because its locked
Gonna have to grind.
it had to do with the unlocked perk amount
I didn't think that was possible
it said my mobility was supposed to be 58 and the cleave damage was suppoed to be 80 before empowering it, is there randomness?
the initial preview is wrong sometimes
strange
they’re trying to hotfix it
so im dumb, want some slight clarification on the new power system
when rolling at brunt, are we still looking for good rng stats for the max potential or is it all guaranteed now?
Thats awful. I found the perk/stat combo i really liked and i rolled with it into the end. Now all the hours i've spent with rewards me with only 2 mastery levels.
Then i get punished by not getting to swap weapon marks.
whats good to dump on a knife?
Having fun with exe stance + WS + double barrel, though I'm not sure what the best blessing for the gun would be.
Also, I would like there to be more movement speed options on the vet tree... feels too slow, wanna zoom around.
Always mobility
you can get levels pretty easily by just buying and sacrificing weapons, if you've been playing long enough dumping a thousand or so plasteel into upgrading random brunt weapons to instantly max out a weapon shouldn't be too bad
its like 10k xp for any green weapon that matches the class
I do have a crap ton of resources and I'll look into that. Its just awful to see my nearly 300 hour be shat on by FS
my devils claw mastery is 0 right now and 1 green brings it to 2
the final level is only 25k
I didn't really want to grind the awful sticker book crap.
It’s way faster now
U can just spam buy from brunt’s armory
Upgrade each to green
And sacrifice to hadron
If u want infantry Lasgun, then buy -> upgrade to green -> sacrifice to infantry Lasgun family
Does higher tiers give more exp?
It’s 8~9k mastery XP per green sacrificed
Or its not worth it
Yes but the cheapest is green
Okay. I see.
idk if this is new or not but it's REALLY COOL
It’s a matter of whether u want to spend more dockets or plasteel
i have a blue giving more xp than a green right now so probably dont upgrade to blue
Dueling Sword is kinda nonsense on WS Vet, been pairing it with the double barrel
I have an abundant in both. My question is which is more important for the upgrading system they got going
or if you have luck you can buyout brunts green/blue weapons
Because the horde clear is mid no matter how hard you go on it
the new penance borders are sick
Noted.
In my experience plasteel runs dry faster than dockets
it seems to be based on the stats more than the level
duelling swords are single target weapons
Because u will need a lot of plasteel for empowering the good rolls u get
430 blue psword gives less xp than a 470 green axe
uff
I have a final question. What was the final RNG portion that they didn't remove?
so if a stat is [ 0% | 60% ] - does that mean it can get to 60 or it will get to 60 when maxed?
Random stat distribution
Yeah, i am going to just sacrafice greens.
It’ll be 60% when u reach 500 power on it
But the RNG aspect they kept is really minimal
U can get godroll distribution on most weapons within 3 tries
Is the random stat applicable to the "Grey" portion or the maximum?
Both starting and endpoint are randomized
Oh great
But only endpoint matters cuz ur gonna be taking max power stuff in the end
And u can see which endpoint distributions are good
I was hoping you're going to just say start point.
??
Only the endpoint matters
You’re not gonna take a 310 power grey weapon into auric unless ur doing challenge runs or are trolling
But you said the end point is randomized too
its based on the start
i used 370-380 grey weapons in auric heresy
I did a standard damnation run yesterday with a grey weapon because I didn't understand how masteries work 😄
It was like 330
everything over 54 on this can get to 80 and everything under cant
4% mobility stat
I really don't understand why they can't just remove the rng completely
Because gamers
The level of RNG they kept is so minimal u can godroll within 3 attempts
It should be gone yes but this is within tolerable ranges
This is more than tolerable
This is picking the good fruit at the supermarket level
nah i want the old system back 
I am used to PD2 where you'd buy a weapon and you'd get the base stat and then you'd modify/increase its stats from there
Its just weird how it could easily be applicable here.
not enough suffering for the emperor with this system
u do the exact same thing here??
Old system was wild, you'd watch people roll up to aurics and maelstroms with complete trash while other people talked mad shit about dropping 3 mil dockets on a good base roll
without the rng.
if u think trying 3 times to get a perfect distribution is "too much RNG" then u prob should wait for a possible-never-coming crafting update v2
they nerf ordo docets?
it takes unironically no effort to get perfect distribution weapons rn
Tbf it's usually a good few rolls more than 3 at Brunt's
I am just saying that if the difference between the stat distribution is so minimal, why even have it? Just give the static stats.
the hardest part is holding empower for 15 times lol
Thrilling and engaging gameplay
Also, where's the remaining 20%
Gimme my remaining 20%
Good thing i have a whole pile of unspent dockets/plasteel
Getting a grey godroll to a gold tier 500 power weapon unironically costs a lot of resources
But considering u get good distribution so easily it’s fine
I’ve been dumping my dockets into higher tier cosmetics
Imagine when they unlock the last 20% on the bar and you gotta empower your way up there
Mobile game style kek
Have a chance to fail per upgrade
And a have a smaller chance to break the weapon
Korean mmo style
Nah fuck that
The design meta is to encourage whaling nonsense
Never understood why people would whinge about Tencent in Darktide, if they were tryna MTX mfs you'd know it
Well mob mentality dictates that tencent = bad
Tencent is majority owned by a South African concern now
Man on internet says tencent bad
Mob raises their pitchforks and crucify anything that associates with tencent

Lbr most of these mfs want to say China bad but are trying to be vaguely slick
anybody getting booted to error code 2014 every 3-ish minutes? im seeing a bunch of posts on reddit about it happening to only ogryns today, nothing on vet but thats all i have
Yeah i do keep getting disconnection errors
One time it was funny because a psyker detonated a man infront of me
have they said anything about this? game is genuinely unplayable and the errors are consistent
Bolt Pistol actually feels really good now.
The bolt guns would be a lot better if the sights were better. Irons on the bolt pistol feels too small
At least they got rid of the god awful sway, but still kept the sights terrible and tiny.
Does it? I hope so. I don't have a strong mastery level on that so it's what I plan to pick up for Veteran or zealot
Yep, handling feels better and it's been buffed of course.
Mastery skin has better iron sights
Oh that is actually better
unfair advantage for experienced players
literally play to win
will firebomb fatshark hq in 5 minutes
When are they adding attachments/mods
Damn
As much as I love dodge spamming with precognition and agile on MK V duelling sword with weapon specialist
Ngl the mk4 duelling sword hits like a truck with thrust and uncanny
It’s insane how far you move back dodge sliding on WS MK 5 duelling sword
It’s fast too
A lot of momentum in that dodge range
Thrust MK4 Duelling sword brings me back to VT2 using the headshot talent on WHC with the rapier
One of these days weakspot damage perk will be good 😔
oh no what happened to my gun
also u guys got any talents reccomended around the infantry?
MF goes hard
they renamed like half our guns lol
it's beautiful
so i ahvent been around since the twins boss update i heard they nerfed survivlist is that true?
so do u go fireteam instead now?
Non issue with las crit builds with stormtrooper
so we just go to brunt, get a good distro on a profane and upgrade it (long as you are mastered on the class) ?
Do whatever man
Whatever requires the least point deviation for your weapons ideal build
Or playstyle
i see im not good at making builds usually but here we go
Yup
Melee, ranged and blitz should answer at least everything
Build around that
One of each should excel at specific problems
No carapace dmg on ranged, bring a melee that can or take kraks
Marksmans focus goes really hard with autoguns
15 stacks of MF is noticeably crazy on ttk
But honestly one point investment into mf might be good if you’re going for onslaught too
The stand around and generate stacks is mid af on high fire rate guns
Bro just aim and you should be at a uptime of 10 most times
I do use the 15 stacks talent, it comes in handy often
75% increased to 112.5% is quite noticeable
It’s like having another precision strikes on top of it
That and also you retain more stacks after moving
Game making me feel guilty for dodge sliding
Where is my pay to skip grind option smh
Throw another one for me
Was wondering why I couldn't change the mark of this shotgun.
Think I got a bugged gun guys.
oh lawd
usually fixes itself after a restart
Lol that's the funny part. I did restart.
Emperors Own
welp
At least before, it showed the 80% limits
time to call the exorcist
heresy
cherry on top is it got a flashlight while being a shotgun
Tzeentch has planted a shotgun I do not remember being in my invenotry
Time for a new grind
I maxed out all my fav weapons but now I need to grind to get all the others finished
Bro, all my vet weapons were maxed on mastery

Including the ones I barely used (shovel, shock mauls, etc.)
I didn't grind out all the blessings pre update for all the weapons, just most of them so some still need some progress + the new blessings for extra progress on top of that
Good luck!
Network issues all night. Guess no purging tonight after all. 😐
new drip dropped

check the marks tab when you select a weapon?
I got it now thanks
TAKE MY MONEY
It's good we got both
knees are heresy
isnt that why tableclothes became a thing?
because weirdos thought table legs were too sexy
might be a joke XD
i choose to believe it
Hehe I also got one like that
Oh wait is that in store now?
Shit
Yup
Some Veterans are whistling at the commissar
what's the dump stat for chainaxes?
Defense or mobility
It's so much fun
oh yeah, just made one that 1hk crushers
I'm looking forward to trying the heavy sword, i remember really liking that one
So many trains
Can't escape the trains
Lots of trains going to the 53rd they should consider moving
good ol'
steamboard
steamforums > reddit
EZ
I think steam fourms are hell
Least obvious bait
comment awards were a mistake
ai give me some good build... 😄
(Said poster conveniently forgetting we got itemisation revamp)
tbh. by the standards of the steam boards... that is pretty good
if they realise there is a female commisar that place get astroturfed by russian bots trying to radicalize incels
lmao
eehm wait what?

Lads
If market id changed can someone send a screenshot of veteran class marketplace?
#darktide-driptide
whats the name of the guy with the anime girl pfp again
@tall torrent hey path,
with the new buffs i can finally do crusher killer build with bolter ?
if frag and smoke were swapped, my dreams would be reality
How do you even use smokes anyways
i did it, i got the achievement, not getting hit from melee attacks in the new mission
Can I see some perfect weapons yo
Apparently blocks vision of enemies (only yours)
Odd
Once I get this penance done I'm never using these goddamn things again
We finally got a black plasma gun skin thank the emperor
Cool model too
i want the weapon skins from SM2 for the guns and the chainswords.
God I wish
Honestly some ultramar themed armor would be p cool, I've always wanted to see what their guard regiments and pdfs would look like
is this normal too have in the game files?
Waking up to see footage of the dueling sword one shotting crushers
Hardly comes as a surprise
I'm so happy
When they give one of the most cracked melee weapons from a class that isn't melee focused to one that partly is
Psykers when the dueling sword gets nerfed because of us and zealots
that brittleness node actually is super helpful on helobre
not only does it free up the rending perk for the weapon it also helps generally iwth multiple teamates as brittleness is universal
Yeah the brittleness node has always been really nice
its kind of like giving psyker guns and them being better at shooting than us XD
I try to fit it into most of my builds
been gone for a long time, had to come back with the update. I hear the boltor might be good now?!
well i alwasy flet i it was goingg to be gimickie but i legit can almost 2 shot a crusher with it thats how insane it is
"with crits afformentioned"
You stay inside it
Soul for a soul
Disrupt every ranged enemy
That's what I figured
And dogs
Neat!
Bombers will still have perfect aim though
Bombers should be playing basketball not screwing with us
Also I went down to a flamer explosion earlier lmao
Didn't think it would do that much damage
Have we figured out if we're still using crit on the Helbore or do is Armorbane better now?
Is it me or does the Helbore 2 stab much slower
Oh shit the stab is much slower compare to pre-update
Time to redo them all
No they made it so that exe stance procs weapon spec 🤣 
Helbores aren't particularly weak against armor
So surgical still top tier
and they're all gone
exec stance has 1 node fewer.
so when you have weapon spec and equip your ranged weapon by activating exe stance, it actually procs?
...
that's been a thing
It didn't work apparently
what do you mean, i can swap to melee from exec just fine, doesnt break anymore
some talents got new pictures but that's about it
🤔
Also extending the stance duration with kills is now the base functionality
Doesn't it
which is why it has 1 less talent node
Yeah you can switch between them now no problem it's great
Finally 😭
okay so if we make the devs consider things to be necessary picks even if they aren't, they'll add them to base kit?
ws here we come
i don't freaking remember the trees
They probably took a look at their stats and saw shout having 85% pickrate and infiltrate 15% pickrate 
Will be nice for Helbore acually because of that slow swap speed...
Wait CQC IN EXEC STANCE!?
Finally, finally…I can actually be something else aside from shouty officer lol
yo wtf plasma gun cannot shoot through bulwark shield anymore?
laughs in infantry laswoman
thats lame as shit unless its a bug
tfw plasma no longer as strong and us infantry lasmen get some playtime
Time to whip out my Autoguns and go all Call of Duty again lol
do i get to fill out all of these, with the order i choose them in being what i'd prefer to have first?
Cool, appreciate it.
because i fear you don't get enough points
9*4
and you get 36 points
very saddening
You're hired to pull the autogun trigger, not count
headhunters got renamed to vigilant
mk7 is graia now
quick check up - is charging up plasma still completely useless?
half year ago it was, with regular attacks getting higher dps with significantly less heat gen, but there were patches...
ok i think i been using the heavy sword wrong, the special attack 1 tapping non armor specialists and elites is pretty fucking pog
and the heavy sweeps do exactly what rashad does, but obviously it needs the slight charge time
its still balls against any kind of carapace but thats what kraks are for
Yeah :(
There's a new blessing that's just Volatile but better but tbh nothing major changed with Plasma so uncharged shot spam is still the go to. It's more ammo efficient and that's way more important now after Surv Aura nerfs (though the extra ammo on maps makes that not such a big deal anyway unless you're in an ammo hungry team)
I think the new combo is Energy Leakage + Gets Hot? Or whatever the one that reduces heat generation by like 60% on a crit
Charging Plasma has like one thing it does better than uncharged shots
Gets hot and rising heat is good too
thanks!
If you even can shoot through shield anymore, currently that's not working apparently
it's focused cooling, looks great! it applies to that particular shot which critted, right?
do you want flak/maniac on tactical axe or is 5% crit chance better
though it is anti-combo in a way ;d you reduce heat so you get less crit chance from gets hot
but you probably get extra shot or two before cooling and ammo efficiency is benefit as you say
Karkin sexy
Damn, all my perks reset for my loadouts and I don't remember what I was using for them.
Felt
If only the game remembered our skill tree.
flak unarmored
For the 1 node moved.
especially unarmored, even with crits, the dmg is inferior to flak
as for the crit perk, use it on ranged weapon with high rof benefitting from crit string
Looks like I'm gonna need you guys' help to set it up again. I'm terrible with build crafting and I hate it, but I was quite happy with the Helbore Lasgun build people had helped me make.
lika ciag / viag
Hi, fellas
So, what Blessings y'all rocking for Plasma?
gets hot and rising heat for now but i'm not too sure myself.
What does Rising Heat even scale?
It just says scaling
power apparently
at 80% heat it gets the full 20% increase of power
5-10-15-20
at 20-40-60-80
can someone explain rending vs brittleness to me?
They finally brought Armageddon cosmetics back
i see
thanks
so if i understand correctly brittlenes has no effect on enemy armor values
in a unrelated question how good is the supression effect on ''keep their heads down'' on a automatic weapon. is it noticable and usefull?
it lowers its armor for everybody
it does not go as high because it's team wide
Suppression is not very helpful
good to know
Another issue with suppression is it makes headshots harder
Enemies typically take cover making it take longer to kill them
So it can easily be actively harmful
yey
Bolt pistol vs the Spearhead Bolt gun, which are the main differences?
I have started using the double shotgun on my stealth vet and its both funny and strong
Bolt pistol trades damage and some stagger for mobility
I prefer bolt pistol
Just curious did anyone else haven their skill tree reset? Didnt notice til i tried to use for the emperor and it was just the basic focus skill
BOLTOR - more ammo, more boom, less mobility, unweildy
Mini Bolter - less ammo, less boom, more mobility (a lot actually), fast swap and mediumn reload.
Big boy feels best as a DMR in my opinion, with the pistol you can do funky things like run WS. Zoom around etc.
Does he know chat
Bolt Pistol has better one shot potential due to Deadly Accurate + Surgical if you go that route
Yeah that's why I said it
which combat axe do I want to try?
is this a riddle?

never really used them, not sure what mark to try
Cannot go wrong with Rashad
Combat Axe Rashad is my go-to
Antax good too, Achlys weird
rashad is ol reliable
Now everyone must have perfect weapons innit?
anyone play dueling saber vet yet? i saw a clip of someone 1 shotting crushers with a single heavy stab
No reason not to for a lot of us
anyone got a build for the agripinaa braced autogun yet or nah because i cant be fucked to make my own build anymore
I want to combine this with a exuctioner stance build around crits and weakspot damage. is this a good idea?
Recon has the lowest base crit multiplier
it also has the highest rate of fire and 0 recoil. goes my reasoning
Also you want as low Collateral as possible on Recon
It'll probably work out
Brb spawning only beasts of nurgle
Well you can keep crit chance
get rid of punishing salvo, thats trash. get dum dum instead. ranged weak spot damage can also go away in favor of maniac damage
crit chance on recons is great with shock trooper, where youre sorta headed anyway if youre going for exec
with the right ADS discipline or a clown build, it works great
What line of code?
where do i find veteran builds
Sah, me ate that funny glowing grass, everything glows now sah
which helbore has the stabbing bayonet animation?
nobody knows since they got renamed
The fast and medium fire rate Helbores
Pretty sure it's mk V
The MK IIIa and MK V
The slow helbore is the only one with the overhead slash
Ya, that’s the MK IV
BEHOLD THE PERFECT RASHAD
Why did they have to change the marks 
MK1 -> MK IIIa
MK2 -> MK V
MK3 -> MK IV
1 2 3 was so clear cut, better make that confusing again
should be right in the more loadout
Rip Rashad MK 2, you’ll be missed.
"Perfect" 490 stats
bummer
Hmmmmmmm
all of vets builds got reset
yea that is what i was trying to build around
is the weakspot damage buff bad even if i pick all the buffs in the tree for it?
should i just focus only on crit damage instead, not both?
Had to redo all my talents on each character after the update
10% from perk is almost nothing, since its not a flat 10% added on top. instead, only the extra damage from the weakspot hit gets an added 10%, not your base damage
Not on zealot
50% from the blessing is not bad per se, but its only 3 shots on a low damage high rof gun. not worth it
the 30% from talents is great though
does the same count for normal crit damage?
I noticed on two of my characters so far
whats a good melee to bring with the bolter? probably something horde clear related
im not 100% but pretty sure its the same with crit damage modifiers
would have to check
so would that mean that basically all crit damage modifiers are kinda pointless on automatic weapons especially
?
Yes bonus crit dmg is like bonus weakspot
including the one in the tallent tree
You more so just worry about the crit chance
yup unless its a really big bonus
crit chance is what you want
Wonder if this crafting update actually makes Fatshark realize how shit the numbers for those bonuses are now that we have full freedom to choose
gotcha
Depends on the weapons
But even then
25% extra damage against some armor type
Or even 5% crit chance
Oh
?
And even then
Anyone else getting bugged penances for maxing out a weapon?
I maxed bolter to level 20 but I cannot get the skin
I’m gonna get home today, buy the ASL stuff, run around with a hellbore and a saber, be him
Shoot them
but i hit them in the chest and they dont die
Aim higher
Whats more important for Helbores? Ammo or stability? Got 2 of them, one with 60% ammo and one with 60% stability (all other stats 80)
dont hit them with the pistol shoot them
Ammo imo as you're not typically spamming it
Go with the 60% ammo one then?
neither are really important on helbore but ammo is slightly more useful than stab
ah i see
Lol no you wsnt more ammo
i feel like the bolter buff brought back veteran full auto spammers
and im not happy about that
Why? Its not like spamming FA is significantly more useful, the bolter is still hobbled by ammo capacity
They miss the smell of burning plasma UwU
they are still allowed to run plasma
bolter full auto is pointless in so many situations. go for controlled single shots when youre not a zealot
Speaking of which; WHy run the bolt pistol over the plasma gun?
I'm not sure what its for
I am more asking, they both seem to fill the same niche; Pull it out and onetap specials in the head. What sets the two apart
like sell the BP to me
thats kind of exactly my point, full auto spamming the bolter goes hand in hand with ammo vacuuming
unfortunately vets feel entitled to the ammo because vet is the shoot class, according to the label
and by spamming i mean using it on small groups of poxwalkers, singular specials etc
whats best to run on plasma gun? would gets hot and the heat reduction blessing be good?
im still a gets hot! gloryhunter kind of guy. especially since i use the talent to distribute toughness to everyone
I use blaze away + energy leak
The +20% power based on heat one
do you need to stop fireing to reset sustained fire? or does it cicle on trough?
ok i think i was a bit wrong about heavy sword 9, it works pretty well
i know the name would imply it does but that doesnt mean anything in games
better into ragers than rashad, neutral into specials/elites, much worse into armor, and slightly worse into a horde
is it?
Stop firing
9 has a pretty intuitive set, i like it for that
the armor damage doesnt bother me because im on kraks
thats lame
but it swings slower
The hswords can all do their function with deathblow so it comes down to preference and moveset
both should be chopping heads but rashad is using light attacks and heavy sword is heaVY ATTACKING?
I prefer the mk9 cause it’s the least work
How's the new plasma blessings?
actually yea, i did notice that in this last map
i was hitting a lot more enemies on head swings
But whichever mark you enjoy will be the best for you, i do not think there is a massive gap between them
what i was not doing yesteday when i poo poo'd the heavy sword was the special attack
really quick overhead follow up kills ragers, the special itself kills all elites
lemme try the 6, i dont really care about the lack of armor pen because i run kraks and was using bolter the past few maps
why would this be exclusive to the 6? dont they all have the same special
oh im seeing it, 6 does slightly more damage
to carapace
Did they buff the lasgun la?
hmm, i still like the 9, the 6s heavies are awkward into bruisers it seems
Its seems like its almost got the same damage as the xii
yea the special attack is key, i was not using that yseterday
it fucks with elites and specials
is competive urge considered good? does it trigger enough to be worth it?
the followup heavy is so quick, it is really nice for rager trains
i would never run competitive urge unless i had spare points. and considering its veteran, you will never have spare points
this update has been so nice, new weapon variety, im actually using exec stance now
bolter feels pretty good to use
veteran has a lot of points to spare if you dont go down right side melee to weapon specialist
but after trying that tree out ofr the first time a few months ago, i cant imagine playing without those talents
veteran melee is so good that not leaning into it seems silly
Wait, what? When were their ADMs changed?
well you always go down middle
then im having a toss up between, born leader, iron will and confirmed kill. this is on a voice of command character. got any imput on these tallents?
but yea ranged has a lot of talents at the top you want
iron will is always a safe pick
tac awareness and iron will are auto picks
i dont always run iron will personally
you dont have to, it doesnt not make it one of veteran's strongest passives
especially with voc, maybe you can justify it on exec stance or infiltrate
but with voc, thats just permanent 50% tdr lol
i hope they tweak VoC soon, or rather golden THP
gold toughness is broken
true, tac awareness is the real problem
oh by the way, what is the new event
are there any new mobs or is it just book collecting
It's not a problem with the other abilities though. VoC is the problem
for such a randomly placed talent, how the fuck is psychokinetic aura a thing
ill dm it to you so i dont spam picutes
i see
its the maelstrom modifier
any pics
VoC benefits the most but i still take issue with its existence
any game in existence with cool downs, cdr traits are always the most powerful traits you can take lol
i mean executioner stance lasting forever isnt too balanced, but executioner stance is kinda bad so idk
agile tac axe is kinda cute ngl, I like it
executioner's stance is really good, its just not voc
exe is poppin this patch, its great
exec lasting forever is okay bc you inheretly need to eliminate baddies to upkeep the damage boost
being able to identify and delete 10 specialists in 3 seconds will never not be strong
TA kind of has the same principle but its slightly different
true but the issue is its ranged damage which doesnt need much extra damage
any opinion on plasma gun blessings?
anything notable or "fun" on the plasma gun of all weapons
recon lasguns could always use extra damage
crit on heat rate is crazy good
not every gun is plasma or zarona
m1's are better than M2 + M1s
try exec stance with an IAG or recon and you'll see
they become very accurate to long range and dont need to dump ammo into that idiot sniper
eh true
it solves one of the "problems" of using non one shot ranged weapons vet has
my biggest gripe with exec stance was it vanished on switching to melee
the problem being most groups look to the vet to delete long range specialists because they probably dont have the weapons
now that this issue is gone, I find it pretty tolerable
shout needs to be reworked, not nerfed
i did a build with exhilarating takedown, and damn i just got my assed kicked
i think before a VoC rework tac awareness should recieve the survivalist treatment
confirmed kill or bust
sucks for them since I'm using the doubel barrel with exe stance instead
huehue
all CDR talents should have some sort of cool down on proccing imo
patrician
except ogryn's lucky bullet cdr, the proc chance is the cool down
that spread reduction on executioners stance and run n gun nutty
bro got the hunting double barrel choke
yeah, it's probably the most fun playstyle I have found in this game honestly
but they often dont
best chainsword blessings?
veteran has no less than 4~ weapons that 1 shot specialists at range (helbore, bolter, zarona, plasma)
veteran does it unaffected by suppression and has a crowd control special to knock thigns down to do it
so the best blessings on the plasma gun is still blaze away and gets hot?
or are there contenders
show me an ogryn build than can kill 3 snipers and a tox bomber at 50m in 3s like a zarona vet
eh
if they are conveniently right next to each other
Gauntlet lmao
SHOW ME A CHERRY PICKED PREDICAMENT THAT WINS MY ARGUEMENT
best ranged class isnt necessarily best ranged DPS
this is not cherry picked, this is literally histg dmanation games
i find iLas mg4 with shocktroop is far better at consistently deleting threats at ranged
Energy Leak + Blaze Away is my go to
almost every failure is because nobody can kill snipers or tox bombers piling up
my bad man, I just like instigating
I blame barrels
And now flamers + barrels
i love the change to flamers
Gets hot + rising heat
to the original point, the vet shouldnt and should never be blamed or looked to because hes not using teh build that does it
ty for answering my guy
its a design flaw wherein difficulty is just throwing specialists at the team in huge numbers
and veteran has the best tools available for instant killing of them as they spawn
Don't like Blaze Away + Energy Leak?
zealot and psyker can too, they also have a revolver and ranged tools
energy leak is there?
Up to +20% power based on heat
There’s a point to be made with gets hot + power blast but I think gets hot + rising heat is usually just better
That’s rising heat
everybody has great tools for deleting specials
They changed name
Nah, game difficulty is barrels and teammates
Reckon lasgun with Executioner stance go brrrr
id say almost all of my auric damnation game failures are when bombers and snipers arent killed and you end up with 3 or 4 of them in the back
just running wild
i wouldn't even argue 1hkos are exactly necessary, i find uptime and upkeep of ranged fire is more important
any good revolver builds guys?
also trappers from the top rope
I'll try a crit plasma
It's the ittle shooters for me. The melt your toughness so quickly, especially when spread out
Wasn't sure due to the intially low heat levels
insofar as they die quickly, yea, which is why i have always liked exec stance
you want high heat right?
Yes crit plasma Charged shot only
True
but to get back to the original point, i do agree that people queuing in and hoping the veteran does the heavy lifting are dumb and should be cognizant if that when using quickplay
bois
I always do heavy lifting regardless
what shotgun is good
yeah i mean, everyone should be killing
but i play qp exclusively and find that if i dont personally take a weapon to do it, nobody else will
Hold up a second
You're telling me I can get 20% extra power and get a 120 cleave?
means more specials for me to hog with executioners stance
which is annoying because sometiomes i dont want to play revolver on zealot lol
and i dont and then games are adventurous
it is what it is
Lucius my beloved
should account for what weakness is of your ranged weapon
generally a build should be fit to take on all roles
Double Barrel
I don't really know the name right now but slug shotgun
i 100% feel the pain of using a double barrel
to acount for randoms not synergizing well with your build
why can't everything cater to me 😔
yea but then you look at things like shotgun and be like i want to...why shouldnt i equip this!
i guess kantreal or whatever has the slug
very well said
so true
yeah, vet is a very versatile class in that regard
veteran can take almost any non (double barrel) shotgun and melee and do what needs to be done even in histg damns
Kantrael is or used to be fire shot
with less stress, which is a key point. ive played martyr zealots going in and goign in full throttle but its a lot more micro
I haven't stopped to see the name changes
yea, but what i meant was ive playesd martyr zealots in teh backline killing things with melee
not the actual damage
the only time my vet is meleeing a sniper is if he spawned right next to me lol
damn, pretty baller that the combat shotgun has solid blessings and perks across all 3 variants, no respite and full bore + flak and maniac, you can just swap mark based off how you feel
how do i cleanse it
anyways thats my opinion and you dont have to agree with it, re: veteran and ranged weapon choice
Oh Agri didn't change
if i take double barrel, i just go infiltrate with 50% dmg resist and 60% gunner resist, i am going to face tank them
Cool
also, heavy sword opinions on vet? what blessings stand out?
Wait a second
Deathblow Headtaker lmao
ty
Chained Deathblow Perfect Strike for meme
ty
i do like memes
but ill give the former a try
also anyone have the 20 cosmetic for revolver
i wanna peep it
"Infested" fuck dogs 💪
Hoo spicy
the hellboy revolver
so true
man i hate that I bought the pink one
bro got the pink camo purse gun
😔
just saw the reddit post of the new dueling sword one shotting crushers without uncanny strike
we've hit peak darktide balance
I was not expecting it to be THAT absurd but
I guess I was too optimistic
I figured you'd need uncanny stacked at least
not that it'd be possible with 0
it's not?
the more you know
with it stacked on psyker it opened up two shots on carapaced enemies
that I didn't know
only really run dd for the voidstike, the one fun psyker weapon
isnt DS like a really single target focused weapon
why'd it be suprising it nukes stuff
i just like dodge dancing like a meth head
I dont agree with such extreme niches of weapons existing but it is basically knife taken to extreme yeah
mk5 duelling sword fun with agile and WS, 15% base, 25%? with WS up dodge range and can infinite spam dodge with weakspot hits
give me a broken build with duelling sword guys pls
can someone suggest better perks
i just took 5% crit chance with the nutty attack speed with WS and Trench Fighter Drills
Elite + flak
ya
Interesting
and heavy sword from zealot
What about 2h chainsword
hsword on vet is gonna be fun
ngl, seeing swagger in the morningstar reminds me of a homeless crackhead chilling outside of 7/11
bro is just there
Unnecessary weight for vets
use the special and it fucks pretty hard
in a melee setup
whats the special again?
dunno if its overall better than rashad, but its close
its a backstab thing followed up with overhead heavy
I accidentally got the On Overwatch penance.
To be fair, i’ve only tried the ix but i didnt like it too much
but the attack times are so quick
What's the secret to the 90% accuracy and zero ammo achievement?
If i want to make a helbore for horde clear, should i focus on crit for the damage anda mmo efficiency for the perk that lets me shoot for free on a crit?
you should focus on a different weapon lmao
how does dueling sword work with hordes
ive only ever used it with psyker (obviously) and they have good horde control ranged staves
Anyone know perks for heavy sword for vet?
oh wait i can actually try and make an autogun build now
Light spam and the occasional heavy poke/overhead. Its really good at with dodging around and controlling the horde
pog
I wanted to tast the new blessing that gives cleave for the helbore, i think it is kinda neat
It hits alot and it hits fast
Gotcha
wtih maniac, it seems to have zero issues using the special to 1 swipe those specialists
special plus zero charged heavy overhead kills all ragers and mutants
mk9 h2 and h3 loop and should 1 swipe anything horde related to the head
h2 is full horizontal too, so you can hit a lot of jabronis with it
Its the one with over head or the stab?
You guys ever just want to kiss the cultists?

im talking heavy sword, not dueling sword. afaik, dueling sword specials are all stabs
Oh my bad
+10% xp on 3 curios... way faster weapon leveling?
Heresy talk right here. 
I don't usually kiss on the first date
Now stabbing
Shooting
Burning to a crisp
Grenade

anyone got a picture of the omnissiah blessed dirk? weapons customisation mod wont lemme see it
You're right... this whirlwind romance could never last. I'm a servant of the emperor, and my love is a lunatic, demon worshipping traitor.
I did it. I finally did it. After all these years, I finally have a good Rashad.
The nightmare is over.
What's it like?
May I touch your cloak?
LOL
Will I too be healed?
Yes, you my son, will be blessed
Hurricane is coming for me boys.
When The Rashad comes for you one Blessed day, YOU shall be able to cleave through 30000 bruisers in one hit
Wish me luck.
Are the bolt pistols any good?
I think anything can be good if you build for it.
Do bolt pistols specialize in anything in particular?
Which blessings are good on the bolt pistol?
I've always just run the explode and bleed ones on it
True
I remember before the patch I tried surgical and DA but couldn't hit anything due to the gun vibrating Everytime I ADS lol
The exploding bullets is fun ngl
Oh, is this a common and hated refrain?
BTW I just spent so much money on cosmetics. Fuck.
I was joking around
I know, but I could understand why it would be a little annoying.
I'll research some on my break
