It is what it is

somber axle
#

I could swear someone came in here and said that the difference between 60% and 80% charge rate is only 0.07 seconds per shot which is imperceptible and does not meaningfully affect gameplay

verbal burrow
#

It's what the Omnissiah gave me

somber axle
#

for uncharged shot spamming

tall torrent
#

U can roll another that’ll hit breakpoints easily

tall torrent
#

Between 60% and 80%

#

Which doesn’t sound like a lot

verbal burrow
#

if it was your weapon

tall torrent
somber axle
#

so you could dump stat ammo then? but ouch

verbal burrow
#

So Damage, Stopping Power, Ammo

tall torrent
#

It just doesn’t have a dump stat

verbal burrow
#

What does Stopping Power actually do? I assumed it was knockback

verbal burrow
#

oh ffs

vestal widget
#

you can inspect weapon

somber axle
#

what's the difference between 60% charge rate and 71% charge rate if it's 0.1 between 60% and 80%

vestal widget
#

and mouse over to see what all the stat bars do

verbal burrow
#

Off to Brunt's RNG mines I go

somber axle
#

is that just getting you 0.05 better rate of fire

#

because that sounds really nit picky

#

it doesn't really seem like it's changing gameplay meaningfully

tall torrent
#

It’s noticeable

somber axle
#

for optimizing sure, for average gameplay is it really going to make or break

tall torrent
#

Directly impacts how the gun feels

#

Yea I said perfect roll

#

It’s the hardest weapon to perfect roll in the game rn

somber axle
#

the fire rate is impacted more by heat cap anyway

tall torrent
#

Which 69% thermal resist solves

somber axle
#

wouldn't it be better to get something like focused cooling too

tall torrent
#

U can fire 8 continuous

#

Below 69% u have only 7

#

This is why charge rate optimal is that bizarre 71%

somber axle
#

if you crit every shot what's the max number of shots with focused cooling you could potentially get before heat cap? Eyes

tall torrent
#

Above 69% thermal does nothing

#

It wouldn’t matter because rising heat is just better

#

And the cooling blessings are not worth

last parcel
#

but it's clown science time

somber axle
#

is rising heat helping hit breakpoints you couldn't hit otherwise? I thought you could run Gloryhunter before

tall torrent
#

Because it’s +strength so it’s multiplicative to damage

somber axle
#

so you miss breakpoints on gloryhunter?

#

which ones?

tall torrent
#

It’s not a major one

#

Rising heat mainly helps with Dreg rager 1HS

somber axle
#

because you said it's not a boss damage weapon so idk why the extra damage is important

#

ah ok

tall torrent
#

And allows u to 1 tap gunners & flamers without FT/redirect fire

#

So it’s higher consistency value

somber axle
#

wouldn't you just run FT/RF to cover that breakpoint anyway?

tall torrent
#

And easy to maintain

somber axle
#

or is this to open up to using weapon specialist keystone instead?

tall torrent
#

Gloryhunter is still fine

tall torrent
#

But I don’t like WS plasma

somber axle
#

I can't imagine Marksman's Focus would be a good alternative for Plasma

tall torrent
#

The firerate variation throws me off

somber axle
#

feels very memey LOL

#

doesn't WS Plasma give you better fire rate

#

because of the ranged attack speed bonus?

tall torrent
#

Yes but it only lasts 5s and it throws me off

#

Having a variable firerate plasma

somber axle
#

that's fair

#

good buff but it's inconsistent

tall torrent
#

I’m used to tracking with that pre-fire delay and if the delay changes I’m not used to it

tall torrent
#

I’m giving up on plasma

#

Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

#

Too hard to perfect roll

#

Compared to literally everything else

#

And there’re just easier builds to play

somber axle
tall torrent
#

I’m considering XIV rn

#

Exe stance XIV

#

Trying to replicate that psyker EK m1 build

#

And XIV can spray at horde with its 3 cleave

somber axle
#

lemme know how it goes once you've finished the build! the XIV is fun for spraying through hordes to mulch ragers hiding in the crowd

tall torrent
#

I noticed XII having notably worse ammo efficiency than XIV

#

But exe stance build can’t rly afford melee talents and idk how to feel abt that

somber axle
#

Yeah the XII is just too ammo thirsty unless you're building all in on crit chance

thorny gorge
#

thats what i do

#

i also take focus fire

somber axle
#

It really needs Shock Trooper and crit chance to carry it into passable ammo efficiency

tall torrent
#

I run 5% crit chance perk & talent, plus opening salvo +10% for first 20% of mag

#

So 27% crit chance for the first 20% mag, 17% after

somber axle
#

No Reciprocity or Headhunter and it drinks ammo fast

thorny gorge
#

headhunter works rather well

#

even with high crit chance

somber axle
#

Tbh you could probably make Deadshot work on the Recon Mk XIV or Recon Mk VIc

#

their fire rates are slow enough to make it controllable

#

it just ends up being a juggling act though

thorny gorge
#

theres some sort of math that 1% of crit is 1% ammo saved due to shock troop

tall torrent
somber axle
#

with Target Down or Duck and Dive it's much easier to play with but that's fair

tall torrent
somber axle
#

it's extra risky watching another resource during fights and if you mistime it you're vulnerable when you need stam the most

tall torrent
#

I also don’t know if I’m a fan of not having ghost to tank shooters on a sharpshooter build

somber axle
#

I saw some vids of ChocoB running their Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII with Standard Sapper Shovel because of the special attack push for slapping Poxwalkers away

thorny gorge
#

what should i run on my knife for a XII crit build

somber axle
#

you could do the meme of Stripped Down + Duck and Dive for infinite ranged attack dodge LOL

thorny gorge
#

ft and mercy for blessings?

somber axle
#

but then during firefights it just sorta feels like a repositioning tool

tall torrent
#

Nah, dum dum + deathspitter is the way

somber axle
#

and not free invincibility during fights

#

for just

#

fighting

somber axle
#

I usually run Executor

#

but I've seen others swear by the other options

verbal burrow
#

Brunt is such a cursed person

thorny gorge
#

i think ima run mercy and flesh tearer and see how i goes

somber axle
#

ignore Mercy Killer then

thorny gorge
#

oh?

tall torrent
somber axle
#

it really needs the consistent bleed and it's too chaotic relying on it for breakpoints against threats like Crushers when you're banking on the first strike being a crit to proc the bleed off of Flesh Tearer

tall torrent
somber axle
#

very feast or famine

tall torrent
#

It somehow just works

verbal burrow
#

Well at least it has 80% in Damage, Stopping Power and Ammo

guys, what if i burnt down the kitchen

last parcel
#

swap stamina to crit damage and pour grease down the drain

thorny gorge
#

might just do

#

might swap out superioty complex for the 5% crit node

verbal burrow
#

Adequate to task?

#

Not sure why it has 80% Thermal too as it said it would have 70% at 500 power, but despite aiming solely for Damage, Stopping Power and Ammo, I'll gladly take it

somber axle
#

I think the perks might need to be changed?

#

afaik crit chance isn't good for Plasma

#

and ranged crit hit damage is much weaker than it sounds

verbal burrow
somber axle
#

yeah Gets Hot is why the 5% ranged crit chance perk is eh

last parcel
verbal burrow
#

I know

#

Also not relevant

somber axle
#

Elite, Maniac and Unarmoured give breakpoints on Plasma afaik

#

Elite and Unarmoured sorta cover each other so you don't need both of those together

verbal burrow
#

If I am already getting 50% critical chance from the blessing, why not add another 5% critical chance, and if 55% of your shots are gonna be crits, why not up their damage?

#

Which breakpoints should I be worrying about then?

somber axle
#

Dreg Gunner is the big one that Elite or Unarmoured would cover afaik

tall torrent
#

Don’t use those perks lol they’re not good on plasma

verbal burrow
winter creek
#

IIRC the damage calc on crit damage ends up being minor compared to the bonus from armor type

somber axle
#

yeah he knows way more about Plasma

#

I'm only vaguely aware of the perks and breakpoints for that weapon

verbal burrow
#

Yeah that's why I am asking him, but my question is what specific enemies I should be re-tooling my gun for

#

In the Perk section to be precise

#

Looking for two nice +25% damage to category buffs

crimson pebble
#

unarmored flak

verbal burrow
#

Unarmoured? As in, the yee-yee ass infected dudes with the rusty knives?

tall torrent
crimson pebble
#

for dreg gunner breakpoint

verbal burrow
tall torrent
winter creek
verbal burrow
uncut pebble
crimson pebble
#

you do better at this game when you start generalizing your build over specializing imo

verbal burrow
winter creek
#

e.g. maulers have carapace on their head but flak on their torso

uncut pebble
#

Well... stop being happy.

verbal burrow
#

Yeah it's a WH game true

uncut pebble
#

We minmax in this hoe.

winter creek
#

The bruiser hordes likewise, unarmored heads but flak torso

crimson pebble
#

then theirs reapers who have flak unyielding and carapace

winter creek
#

Adding +10% crit damage is what like, 1% more damage overall

uncut pebble
#

If that can be explained in English I'm sure it could be really neat information.

verbal burrow
winter creek
#

It's in the pinned document

uncut pebble
#

Yeah fatshark calculations fucking suck.

winter creek
#

That's just a snippet

uncut pebble
#

Same issue with weakspot damage.

somber axle
#

If your shots normally do 100 damage on a non-crit, and crit for an extra 50 damage for a total 150 damage, the ranged crit damage only adds an extra +10% from the bonus 50 damage from the crit, not to the total 150. So instead of 150 damage you get ... 155

verbal burrow
#

Well then, here we have the final product

winter creek
#

The only benefit to scaling crit damage I guess is that crits have some innate rending

#

Lets you plink a little more against armored targets

verbal burrow
#

I was quite enjoying two-shotting a crusher yeah

winter creek
#

Plasma has innately high ADM against carapace so it doesn't need to crit to do good damage

#

So you're better off scaling damage you get on 100% of your hits vs 50 or 55 or whatever your crit rate is

tall torrent
#

Plasma is 3 shot vs crusher usually but it doesn’t kill crusher groups fast due to slow firerate & needing to vent

winter creek
#

krak grenade out!

tall torrent
#

You’re better off going with melee anti-carapace tools

winter creek
#

Yeah that's why dueling sword goes on all my characters

#

:3

tall torrent
#

Duelling sword is pretty niche on veteran tho

#

Horde clear is just abysmal

winter creek
#

That's what my boltgun is for

civic knot
#

Is stability the dump stat for both heavy laspistols?

tall torrent

Boltgun for horde clear is KEKW_ogryn

what the hell

The only hordes that I have trouble with are the mobian guys

Have u considered maybe u want a melee for horde clear

winter creek
#

Dueling sword works fine

tall torrent
#

It’s like the worst horde clear in the game lol

winter creek
#

if power sword was less ass to use I'd go back to using that

hasty otter
#

Well its worse on vet

molten hound

does the max % on the modifiers change upon empowering?

You could also take a Rashad

oh ok

How is rashad better for horde clear

I can just do that on dueling sword

does anyone know which has higher dps for combat knife between precog/uncanny strike vs riposte/uncanny strike

I think i see your issue now

Listen I like my axe but it's somehow worse at horde clear than DS

Brutal momentum + headtaker

That's literally what's on it

somber axle
orchid hemlock
#

dualing sword has ass wave clear

somber axle
#

You need Unarmoured too afaik

#

then it carves through Bruisers just as well as poxwalkers/groaners

tall torrent
orchid hemlock
#

for psyker I use it to suppliment the wave clear of my staff and scream

on zealot I suppliment the wave clear by just having insane crit rates

tall torrent
winter creek
#

Uncanny precog DS4 just tears through stuff

somber axle
#

I thought Unarmoured was so you could reach Bruiser 1 tap without needing to build up a few Headtaker stacks first?

#

can you do it from 0 Headtaker? Eyes

tall torrent
#

Nah DS4 might unironically be the worst horde clear for veteran

orchid hemlock
#

precog is not amazing for wave clear

tall torrent
somber axle
#

what are you taking instead of Unarmoured?

orchid hemlock
#

precog is also useful for synergizing with dualist on zealot, but I dont see the value on vet

somber axle
#

Carapace for better Crusher breakpoint?

tall torrent
#

I’m genuinely curious how you’re getting worse clear time with Rashad than duelling sword

winter creek
#

idk I just load into missions and play through them just fine lol

tall torrent
winter creek
#

Mixed hordes are the real test

orchid hemlock
#

yeah I struggle way to much on high intensity aurics

#

with the wave clear

#

mixed hordes is worse

winter creek
#

The thing about DS4 is that it pierces through like 5 layers deep on a heavy stab

winter creek
#

Which can reach that bullshit rager behind the poxwalkers

#

Feels like it does

narrow bay
#

@distant warren I see what your hiding from me that tiger stripe camo me wants lol

tall torrent
#

You’re not rly striking anything before & after

orchid hemlock
#

u dont even need to use any mods, just go in the psykanium, push all of the poxwalkers into a ball than spam light attacks on it

#

then do the same but use a good wave clear weapon like a PS or CS

eh finnaly armors bane is a bitch and a half thank the gods for mobian 21st

always dump mobility if im min maxing?

#

Does the heavy sword benefit from Crit and Finesse stuff, like Desperado and Recipricocity, or is it good as a stand alone weapon?

distant crow
#

decent gun?

#

i really like the combat knife, but it's kinda bad this one

midnight totem
#

worth keeping though

#

Both screenies are knife

worldly pulsar
sullen scarab
#

Yeah I've been sweeping at head level and it seems really good

#

but I was getting pushed back by the 21st armored dudes lol

#

so I'm like maybe I need to go down the right side tree and pick up those crit and finesse builds to make it shine

#

maybe on NORMAL matches it'll be better for cutting down chaffee without having to do the right side build

worldly pulsar
#

Yeah, I didn't run it against those dudes, that might make the difference.

#

I don't think it's necessary against regular hordes, but it does feel better with the crit stuff IMO

sullen scarab
#

yeah lmao

#

I'll have to try it

#

I guess its good

#

in normal matches

#

without the armored guys

#

or maybe I need Unarmored damage for heads lol

umbral scaffold
#

I wouldn't go out of my way to build crit and finesse on the heavy sword

sullen scarab
#

oh yeah?

umbral scaffold
#

You could likely get by with base damage and attack speed

sullen scarab
#

yeah the speed seems fine

umbral scaffold
#

Just happens you might get a few crit/finesse nodes getting there anyway

sullen scarab
#

I was just wondering if I was getting pressured hard just because they were the 21st guys lol

umbral scaffold
#

Nah, yeah, the dudes are just chonky

sullen scarab
#

yeah makes sense lmao

umbral scaffold
#

They eat my crit illisi like it's nothing

sullen scarab
#

yeah LOL

#

ok cool

#

so its just a good horde clear if you don't invest into weapon specialist

#

so if I run Focus Target and go middle tree

#

it'll smash the mob guys

umbral scaffold
#

With shit like the focus target damage buff and those timed damage buffs from the red talents at the bottom, you can squeeze some good damage out it

sullen scarab
#

yeah for sure lol

#

just wanted something to clear out the trash mobs super fast so I can whip out the bolter for the big guys

I hope not

The point of melk is to get good rolls on weapons you either don't have mastery for or don't want to spend 5k plasteel on

its only good for new players lol

But ive already gotten masteries

ill probably use it for my veteran with like 0 masteries

but otherwies useless

winter creek

My masteries say otherwise lol

Only have like 5 fully done

#

Because I stockpiled weapons and never redeemed the blessings

thorny gorge
#

You can feed weapons to the tech preist for mastery

winter creek
#

I was like "i've got a few decent rolls on these weapons I don't need more"

#

Yeah but that takes p l a s t e e l

trim steppe
winter creek
#

To get them to green at least

thorny gorge
#

Green is most effeient for that reason

keen elk
#

Do you actually have to use the weapon during the mission to get mastery? Or just have it equipped

You just need it with you

does knife vet not like bleeds anymore?

idle swallow
#

do you mean serrated blade or blessings

ancient path
#

both?

austere mica
#

Bleed blessings have never been very good

ancient path
#

oh

idle swallow
#

serrated blade is mostly an enabler for mercy killer

austere mica
#

Serrated blade + mercy killer is the most consistent second pick to go with Uncanny strike (if you have the points)

#

Same damage bonus but you always have your condition

#

It does require routing however

ancient path
#

i have precognition but i dont think i really capitalize on it much being sorta bad

#

so im looking for something a bit more passive

austere mica
#

I don't take it on my builds because if I'm routing to smokes I take Agile Engagement because I'm going to pick weapon spec

ancient path
#

at least it doesnt feel like i do

ancient path
austere mica
#

and extra 25% damage on top of my already insane shotgun blast is great

trim steppe
ancient path

but with that build i wa considering changing out field improvisation for serrated blade + mercy kill

austere mica

That's super fine

and dropping precog

field improv is really nice to have but ultimately its a luxury that you take if you have an extra point and already take grenade regen

tho i kinda wanted to swap surgical for headshot

austere mica

Just realized this build now enjoys an extra point

and isn't entirely overkill

or using puncture? but that just kinda feels weird outside of more bleed memes from bleed grenade

What blessings?

west cave

I forget the name

west cave

ill check

trim steppe
# west cave guardsmen hordes and whatnot

Rashad with BM/Headtaker + Unarmored/Flak will kill 4 guardsmen (bruisers) every swing just spamming light attacks. Dump mobility. It feels great but is definitely overtuned lol

west cave
#

will try that

#

chainsword is cooler conceptually but I feel like it doesnt perform best

trim steppe
#

Rashad is not flashy but is the meta choice atm

Savage sweep and rampage on XIIIg

Yeah you need to have Wrath or learn combos with the XIIIg
It has a weird time proccing Sweep or Rampage

The heavy attack on those gunners feels soo good

the mark II has the dmg of the IV and the same stats

but has the different h2 attack

The Mk2 is one of those all arounder

Plus 4 lights instead of 3

#

The H1 was bugged until Machine patch

mortal horizon

i remember it being non-viable (when it was on psyker only) bc it just did markedly less dmg on its heavy

Yup, it had less damage than IV's heavy despite looking the same
