Boltgun, Colomnus, Bolt pistol ( MY BELOVED), revolver, plasma gun good but boring to me

tall torrent
#

Cuz I just don’t think shredders are worth taking if u weren’t taking survivalist in the first place
And survivalist is only really worth for maybe 5 guns on veteran?

slow spade
#

part of why Vet is one of the best melee classes

Vigilant Rifles…

#

Well, u just don’t need survivalist for 2 of those 5 guns u mentioned

slow spade
#

it always surprises me how ammo hungry bolt pistol is

#

I keep thinking "88 shots?" I'm good

tall torrent
#

Outside of C-I-VI maelstrom there’s no scenario where survivalist outperforms agile engagement pathing for revolver

slow spade
#

then boom my ammo is yellow

I'm using the Surgical + Deadly Accurate combo

But willing to see another way

so I'm pretty crit reliant

That’s what I do lmao

My boltpistol settup

because of what?

tall torrent
#

You can’t one tap Dreg gunner without crit / high stack focus tag

tall torrent
cedar imp
#

fair enough

tall torrent
#

Remember that minimum refresh mechanic

#

Yea this is the part that it comes into play

slow spade
#

I get the damage upgrade

tall torrent
slow spade
#

+7.5% damage should compensate

It’s only like 100 pages chadgryn

U can even search specific words up

Watch me taking fire team +5% for Bolt pistol breakpoints KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Which is the worst part

cedar imp
#

lmao

tall torrent
#

If Boltpistol had like

#

5~8% more damage

#

It’d be so much better

cedar imp
#

Bolt pistol buff when?

#

🙂

grand perch
#

most poeple i see already use it over revolver

#

so the question would be if it needs to be better

hollow ibex
#

but revolver is boring

#

(except the agrivolver)

tall torrent
#

Zarona revolver is the strongest and most boring gun on veteran

cedar imp
cedar imp
tall torrent
#

But plasma is the hardest weapon to perfect roll in the game

#

So I don’t recommend it

cedar imp
tall torrent
#

Plasma also needs very specific talents to hit breakpoints

cedar imp
weary acorn
#

is there an alternative blessing on recon las gun if i wanted to repalce infernus?

cedar imp
#

Like I just feels like the most OP thing in this game lmao

tall torrent
slow spade
#

the problem with plasma is it takes 0.6s to fire

slow spade
#

other guns would just fire

Is it the brown automatic lasgun?

but they have superbuffed recon to then immediately dumpster it next patch

Man I tried it, I didnt quite like it but maybe it could be build related, didnt know much how to make it purely effective

cedar imp
#

STAP

#

ITS TIME TO STOP

tall torrent
#

Again, u should read my guide

#

It’s a very weapon-dependent thing

What are the best blessings on the mg xii lasgun?

cedar imp
tall torrent
cedar imp
#

Colomnus on mauler torso

#

Wanted to try something

tall torrent
#

Vraks V has 0.9 flak ADM at close range

#

+10% rending moves it to 1.0 flak ADM

cedar imp
#

Ive got told somehow rending had something to do with being good to counterack damage falloff

tall torrent
#

So seeing a +10% damage is about right

dry pivot
tall torrent
#

But like

#

You could just

#

Look at the guide

#

And save urself from asking all these questions

cedar imp
orchid hemlock
dry pivot
#

Ghost maybe? Survivability is pretty nice

tall torrent
#

It’s just shy of like 25% damage to meet 1 tap breakpoints

#

And needs exe stance to 1 tap

dry pivot
#

Not IX, XII

tall torrent
#

Opening salvo is not good for infantry lasguns, but it helps with 1 taps

orchid hemlock
#

recon?

tall torrent
dry pivot
#

The heavy lasgun, the one that oneshots shooters to the body

tall torrent
#

Because you said MG XII

dry pivot
#

Infantry yeah

tall torrent
#

Which is renamed to Mk IX now

dry pivot
#

Omg it is

#

That's how you know I've been playing since launch lol

tall torrent
#

And it’s not good now

#

Can’t bodyshot shooters

dry pivot
#

I thought it could

tall torrent
#

Used to

#

Can’t now

dry pivot
#

I played with someone who used the recon lasgun and it seemed really good

tall torrent
#

It’s strong, I don’t like it tho

dry pivot
#

I used to play with the bolter a lot

#

It feels not so great now, maybe I need that reload speed talent

radiant chasm
rugged night
#

Does Rending Strike only effect melee as it says all weapons?

cedar imp
rugged night
#

Oh great to know, thanks

tall torrent
#

It’s a self-buff

slow spade
#

rending also affects grenades

#

a small thing but can't argue with more damage

#

Anyone know decent curio perks for Vet? i'm running toughness, damage resist gunners and toughness regen

tall torrent
#

Doesn’t matter how u get to >200 health

slow spade
#

I would run stam regen over toughness regen

#

Toughness > hp

#

I'll die on this hill

muted rapids
#

someone told me that toughness regen is ass

tall torrent
#

Toughness regen is bad, don’t use it

#

Because it is

slow spade
#

it turns off when in melee

hollow ibex
#

toughness regen is good on ogryn imo, but that's about it

orchid hemlock
muted rapids
#

oh good, i have 90% on my ogryn

tall torrent
#

It’s still not good

hollow ibex
#

i find it very useful on ogryn

tall torrent
#

It still turns off in melee combat

slow spade
#

Ogryn is better off with the Heavy attack for toughness nodes

tall torrent
#

Only helps when you’re staying with ur team and getting shot from afar (not engaged in melee)

muted rapids
#

So 5% toughness, 5% health, 12% stam regen? i like to minmax

slow spade
#

coherency regen is a drop in the bucket in comparison

hollow ibex
#

i had my doubts too.

tall torrent
#

Everything else is up to u

muted rapids
#

I never get hit by snipers

hollow ibex
#

but i tried it because ogrynomicon recommended it, and i quite like it

slow spade
muted rapids
#

I play 3rd person so the lasers are stupid easy to dodge

slow spade
#

if you're ok with that, you can get Sprint efficiency

tall torrent
#

Gunner resist, extra toughness, extra health, sprint efficiency, stamina regen rate
None of them are bad choices

slow spade
#

which heavily boosts your stamina efficiency

slow spade
tall torrent
#

But you very specifically want >200 health and 20% sniper resist

slow spade
#

fuck snipers

tall torrent
#

It’s not hard to build for

Psykers used to have infinite dodges on force swords

#

so you could dodge your way across the map

#

it was genuine cheating in my eyes

tall torrent
muted rapids
#

Don't psykers have an infinite lightning bug right now?

muted rapids
#

with no overloading?

slow spade
#

its more like 10 seconds of lightning now

muted rapids
#

that feels like cheating though, they can perma stunlock

slow spade
#

which is still insane

tall torrent
#

If ur talking about never-ending smite cast, it’s not a bug

#

They can genuinely build for that now

muted rapids
#

Nah they had 100% overload and never exploded

#

just permanent lightning

The idea that things need to be nerfed kills games. Nearly put helldivers in the dirt. No idea where destiny is at these days but when they took the nerfhammer to everything a couple years back they cut their player count in half almost overnight

But I’m using Vigilant Rifles

shadow dagger

is this what moderately high sens and headphones does to a mf

tall torrent

No i mean this guy literally moves exclusively in straight lines

Mobility is like a 12% movement speed difference between 60-80%.

does longshot hit any extra bps on boltgun exe that aren't bullshit fringe cases or should I stop being a wuss and use tac reload over volley adept

uncut pebble
tall torrent
#

longshot does nothing

#

volley adept is just safer if u want to magdump boltgun

#

but tac reload is usually better

cosmic sun
#

Honestly recon lasgun vet annoying is like the opposite of smyker annoying

#

It's not "This guy is doing nothing" it's "I have nothing to do but hold W"

slow spade
#

you're better off getting something like Focus Target's damage buff

hearty panther
#

Longshot needs its own new mechanic that isn't tied to close.damage

shadow dagger
#

surely I can like 2tap crushers at 30m with exe stance up

tall torrent
shadow dagger

:clueless:

slow spade
slow spade
#

thanks for the clarification

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

not that veteran needs a buff but i would not mind if it was just reverse Anoint in Blood and the boost started at 1m

slow spade
hearty panther
#

fixing it to close damage is what's silly. buffing close damage nerfed lonshot. thats just a big ol whut

#

and left side tree is ... really ... like awful lmao

#

at the top i mean

#

like i can and do have fun with the headshot toughness regen sometimes but stacking up those three brackets and comparing ... it ain't fair

#

it hurts to click on longshot

slow spade
#

look on the bright side, Exhilerating Takedown no longer increases the damage you take c:

#

they love the left side UwU

tall torrent
shadow dagger
#

I've been running mk1 shovel with exe boltgun and I've still been struggling worse than expected vs ragers

#

I know I can literally just shoot them but like damn

#

I'm still getting cooked

slow spade
#

really? exe boltgun should basically 1-tap dreg ragers

#

oh yeah meleeing them is pain lol

tall torrent
#

check my stagger breakpoint section

hearty panther
#

left side in general is quite yuck at some points, yes

#

that reload speed node above survivalist is the most UGH, EEEUGH, thing in the fucken game to me

slow spade
#

I still try to melee things I know is safer to shoot

shadow dagger
#

I tunnel on ranged elites and specials way too much and burn dodges to reposition

slow spade
#

I really need to break that bad habit

hearty panther
#

but some people swear its a big help for them

idle swallow
#

I do silly lil hammerblow munitorum shovel with exe stance guns

uncut pebble
#

The nodes directly above exe stance and survivalist are icky iirc.

hearty panther
#

im already ultra anti-reload speed so

#

but fuck me they suck yeah

#

ranged damage is fine

#

not amazing but ur gonna have 10%

rigid schooner
#

Reload speed is goated though

orchid hemlock
#

I've been experimenting

hearty panther
#

5%? god no

#

eugh

#

yuck

shadow dagger
#

I've resorted to hammerblow on the shovel to try and not get fried but I genuinely have no clue if that helps mk1 shovel vs ragers

slow spade
#

to be fair, its +5% damage on a gun that does 545

orchid hemlock
#

100% reload speed, no reloading required chadgryn

so its not "nothing"

mk1 shovel is mostly just for wrecking normal hordes

which is the mk1 again

#

the sweeping light fold shovel?

hollow ibex
#

the oldest shovel

hearty panther
#

or the standard

#

oh yea

#

yea its really just for heavy attacking hordes

uncut pebble

Standard shovel fucks.

#

It's better rashad for lights.

hollow ibex
#

i have a soft spot for the standard shovel

hearty panther
#

itll slap ragers tho once that impact blessing stacks

#

impact + decimator together is quite funny

uncut pebble

You use an impact blessing on it?

#

I love standard shovel

uncut pebble
#

I use uncanny skullcrusher...

hearty panther
#

sometimes

shadow dagger

I'd use dclaw if its hordeclear didn't give me a stomachache

hollow ibex
#

nothing about decimator is funny tbh

hearty panther
#

deci + skullcrusher almost all the time

#

but if im not shout vet, i drop skullcrusher

shadow dagger

no savage sweep and it hits like 3 enemies a heavy

#

savage sweep and it doesn't actually kill anything

tall torrent

idk I feel if u need to use a shovel
shock maul does everything it does but better ?

uncut pebble

I just like it because it has the funny stop mutants like taxe does for its special and acts like rashad on its lights.

shock maul aint kino

parry for hordeclear and my stamina eats shit

hearty panther

its about the bonk.sfx

ur unrefined palette disgusts me

if the dmg / stagger matched the bonk sfx it'd be better

but it's not there

hearty panther

still, love og shovel

That's what I'm saying.

its just very flexible

good afternoon! what blessings and perks do y'all use on your shovels? and what mark?

Agni is ok because you have an infinite strikedown loop so you don't worry about cleave.

i like the shmaul, i find it hilarious how it has this magical ability to always be three shots to kill for every single enemy type

@tall torrent or anyone who knows, can yall help me understand the synergy between a boltgun using puncutre and everythign else in the veteran toolkit?

real flicker
#

Any of you lot have a good stealth vet talent tree? il be using duelling sword and revolver

pastel zealot
#

for shovel, mkIII or mkVII?

rigid schooner
tawdry jackal
#

this is what i just put together real quick

#

modification of a krak grenade version

muted rapids
#

Is this just reapers and machine gunners or does it factor in the normal mobs with rifles?

tawdry jackal
#

im considering taking puncture off of my boltgun though so wanna understand how it fucks bosses more or enemies

#

cause a boss will get mag dumped for sure

muted rapids
tawdry jackal
#

basically tl;dr is it worth focusing on boosting bleed damage

narrow frost
#

not if you can get 1 shot breakpoints

primal zealot
#

My guess is no unless you’re also adding brittleness

narrow frost
#

really easy to get a 1shot BP

#

so bleed is useless

primal zealot
#

Even then tho idk bleeding stuff at range … idk seems likes it’s always been a meme

orchid hemlock
#

which shock mark do yall prefer?

narrow frost
#

the better one

orchid hemlock

I prefer the worse one tbh

what blessings do yall like?

Prefer Indignatus imo too

god can you imagine if gunner resist included basic shooters, literal instant pick every time (more than it basically already is)

am i fucking stupid

yes

why the fuck does the shockmaul taser make em tweak out so goddamn bad

why is this bulwark

in all fairnesss gunners are the ones that be tearing ppl up so like shrug

#

and then they be fuckin cheating by posting up near sleeping demonhosts

tawdry jackal
#

ok so question 2: wanna have a executioner stance build that nukes the gunline, the little scrubs

#

boltgun is amazing but overkill and ammo hungry, whats my alternative?

primal zealot
#

Recon

shadow dagger
#

krak boltor vet

#

surely this guy will be locked in

primal zealot
#

Can be really ammo efficient too if you use shock trooper or whatever and resist the urge to wildly spray it at everything all the time

tawdry jackal
#

the goal is to stay locked into executioner stance

shadow dagger
#

not talking to or about you

#

but i suppose that isnt the worst idea

tawdry jackal
#

im following up on what boge is saying

#

ok could use a talent tree thats basically executioner stance recon las bro

faint beacon
faint beacon
#

I ask this

tawdry jackal
#

to handle the enemy gunline by just wallhacking them and FIRING THEM THE FUCK UP

faint beacon
#

Ballistic or Las

tawdry jackal
#

both are acceptable

#

have ar eally nice recon las for rn tho

faint beacon
#

Vigilant, Infantry Las, Helbore

#

Uhh- yeah those are the big 3 marksman ammo efficient ones I can think of

grizzled pebble
faint beacon
#

Hence why I say take Recon with a grain of salt

#

If you want borderline infinite ammo

#

Helbore and Infantry Las

tawdry jackal
#

gotcha. The ability to autofire on a gunline isn't to be underestimated

#

i think the helbore would be the way to go cause of chargeup and bayonet

That's your best build imo

#

Other semi auto guns apply too

faint beacon
#

I’m a Headhunter + Deadly accurate kinda guy

idle swallow
#

crit maxxing and using MF on the laspistols is my drug

terse idol
#

Helbore is more large target-centric

faint beacon
#

But Headhunter + Ghost also fucks hard

terse idol
#

And the sights make it more difficult

#

I always gotta try ghost

faint beacon
#

But if you decide to do Vigilant rifles definitely ask me seeing I literally main them

#

All of them are good

#

Very build requiring but good

tawdry jackal
#

can you show me builds for each of these? I'll try to recreate what i think is best

idle swallow
#

did a no ammo maelstrom the other day and watched a vet hipfire the single shot autogun into crusher torsos, was he using it correctly

faint beacon
#

It also matters on what keystone you want to use

tawdry jackal

ok i'll make them and you tell me

@tawdry jackal you insist on having that 1 min regen or having demo team instead

tall torrent

#

I don’t think u need superiority complex tho

faint beacon
#

I’d say

#

Hmmm

#

You could get AE actually

tall torrent

Superiority complex doesn’t help ur breakpoints

tawdry jackal

tawdry jackal
#

ok then yeah not needed

faint beacon
#

He drops Tinkerer and regen plus node leading to it for demo team

#

He’ll have enough for Agile

#

Which I mean if you play aggressively

#

With your melee you won’t regret it

tawdry jackal
#

have agile and i do play aggressive

#

do need to switch to a non powersword weapon

faint beacon
#

Okay hear me out

tawdry jackal
#

but i make the mk6 work pretty well, just hate being interrupted when swinging

faint beacon
#

Mk1 Shovel

tall torrent
#

I also don’t think u need any of the subnodes for exe stance tbh

#

The only one I might take is ogryn highlight

#

For Boltgun, if u take krak

faint beacon
#

With Uncanny + Deci

#

Overall extremely reliable melee

#

And it’s uncanny will help you deal with carapace

tawdry jackal
#

mk1 shovel i like

faint beacon
#

I’d say if you just want a horde clear melee

#

Do Heavy Swords

#

Deathblow + Headtaker

#

MkIX is the easiest to get into

tawdry jackal
#

need to level it

faint beacon
#

L1 - H spam

#

I would’ve said Rashad

#

But I want people to try to try out new things instead of getting hooked onto the best weapon in the game

#

Cause it’s extremely difficult to get off of

#

Cause it’s just leagues better than everything else

tawdry jackal
#

here are the weapons i have at 20 mastery: shovel, powersword, assault chainsword, boltgun. Weapons at high mastery (above 15): Recon Lasgun (18), Plasma Gun (18), Bolt Pistol (17), Helbore Lasgun (19). Other masteries: (DClaw Sword, 13), DS 8, Tac Axe 3, knife 6, IAG ILG both at 8

faint beacon
#

I ask

faint beacon
#

Do you know of the method to get piss easy mastery rank

tawdry jackal
#

yes: feed guns to hadron with money

#

umm why not mk3 shovel?

tall torrent
#

Cuz it’s ass

tawdry jackal
#

guess the mk1 has superior stagger

#

gotcha

tall torrent
#

Mk3 is only good for one thing

#

Folded H1

#

Everything else about that variant is ass

faint beacon
#

Mk7

tawdry jackal
#

carapace or flak on the mk1 shovel?

faint beacon
#

Is the hybrid of them

#

But it’s weaker on horde

tall torrent
#

Not much worse, just atk speed slightly slower

faint beacon
#

It’s another good option if you prefer

tawdry jackal
#

nah we're doing mk1

faint beacon
#

The Folded special

tawdry jackal
#

horde clear has to be fucking dope or im in trouble

floral hearth
#

shouldnt use mk1 shovel on carapace anyway

tawdry jackal
#

for some reason the word doc hamme run had it as a recommended alternate to flak

#

i assume for the head stab

faint beacon
#

That’s your best bet

faint beacon
#

Just not optimal

floral hearth
faint beacon
#

Okay to be fair

#

Uncanny is just busted in general

#

Always take it

#

Cause it also helps with Flak, Unyielding and Maniac

misty delta
#

which recon mk is the best

floral hearth
faint beacon
#

But I’m a gambler

#

So I pair it with Deci

misty delta
floral hearth

the one that doesn't give me epilepsy then

tawdry jackal
#

alright now im gonna show you a helbore lasgun build. The helbore needs to be leveled up

#

which mark first and foremost?

faint beacon
tawdry jackal
#

colors

faint beacon
#

I’m used to 1 2 and 3

misty delta

#

Brown try to avoid unless you’re Ogryn killing

#

Blue and Green are great

misty delta

I'm against the brown one because the bayonett :P

floral hearth

mark IV not, at least

tall torrent
tall torrent
tawdry jackal
#

ok bet

faint beacon
#

When you get to vigilant rifles absolutely ping me lmao

#

I will say this every single one is good

#

It heavily matters on how you play it

misty delta
#

Ive only used the semi auto and 3-burst ones

floral hearth
#

Single shot is the most fun, closest to feeling like a sniper

#

other than the pocket sniper that is

faint beacon
#

It’s the “weaker” of them

#

But I main it

#

Literally my favorite variant

misty delta
#

what do you run on it?

#

Im tempted to give it a try

faint beacon
#

Me and Path straight up can’t decide on if Surgical or Headhunter is better

#

But I run HH + Deadly Accurate

#

Either or Works

tall torrent
#

Surgical

tawdry jackal
#

this is for a helbore lasgun

faint beacon
#

Honestly

tawdry jackal
#

im banking on not needing shocktrooper at all

faint beacon
#

I’d say Surgical if you play slower

#

Headhunter if you play aggressive as fuck like me

#

Constantly run into danger

radiant chasm

once again asking, does close damage effect frag nades?

tawdry jackal

bistol fragger is so much fun

tawdry jackal
#

ok im ready to game, thank you friends

faint beacon
#

Yeah np

#

You ever pick up Vigilant rifles just @ me

Proximity grenadier bistol goes so hard

tawdry jackal

will do eventually

#

Shit is so fucking funny lmao

hollow ibex

faint beacon
#

Shit deletes so many specials though lmao

hollow ibex
#

tbf the recoil is only really an issue when i have to chain multiple bursts quickly

#

like against crusher heads or something

runic axle
#

What's a better dump stat for the revolver on a weapon specialist build, mobility or reload speed?

hollow ibex
#

mobility, dumping reload speed sounds like you enjoy suffering

uncut pebble
#

It's reload speed.

#

60-80% diff on reload speed is a 3% diff in practice. 60-80% diff on mobility is a 12% movement speed diff in practice. Pick your dump wisely.

#

Also, yknow, weapon spec has always prepared.

#

1 melee kill at all ever reloads 1 bullet.

#

I think the max you can reload in 1 swap is 3 rounds for revolvers.

wet ether
#

whats a good gun for a STEALTH vet whos loves to remain mobile?

grizzled pebble
#

BISTOL

misty delta
#

probably the double barrel

grizzled pebble
#

Trust in the holy bistol.

misty delta
#

helps close the distance on a gun that doesnt work at range lol

faint beacon
#

DB + Knife goes incredibly hard

misty delta
#

other than DB, revolver or bolt pistol are very mobile options

wet ether
#

what about the heavy las pistol?

misty delta
#

yeah that works

wet ether
#

does it have both range and can be used in CQB?

misty delta
#

I'd say so. It's literally a laser and its as quick as the other pistols

#

bonus points if you use the special shove on poxbursters

tawdry jackal
#

should i do like a

#

chainsword or chainaxe bistol

misty delta
#

helbore build, right?

#

oh wait bistol

#

:derp:

faint beacon
#

Cause one hits like a truck but slows you down

misty delta
#

they both kinda do the same job tbh take whichever one you prefer

faint beacon
#

The other is a good neutral

wet ether
#

which las pistol mark 10 or 2?

tawdry jackal
#

i havent used the chainaxe yet so looking for a real killer

#

my understanding is that the chainaxe rev stops crushers

misty delta
faint beacon
#

2 is just overall better

#

Blue Mk when?

faint beacon
#

Delete crushers

shadow dagger

baiting a chaos spawn thrash and watching in horror as two quickplayers walk directly into it charging their heavy attacks

heavy las pistol blessings and perks?

heavy las pistol do be doing some good work

hollow ibex

jesus fucking christ. some peoplle are still genuinely trying to argue that gunner resist isn't good in this thread lol

well is it good?

by the looks of the video i'd say maybe

I've never seen a gunner before in my life

It’s more general purpose

it's not bugged anymore

like "not get hit" resistances besides gunner don't matter

slow spade
slow spade

thank you :D

tall torrent
#

I think if u want resistance stuff
20% sniper resist (really good)
Optionally, gunner / extra toughness

radiant chasm
#

i like 1 sniper cause it's a BP on every class for wound/hp

#

extra tough extra hp, stam regen

tall torrent
#

I don’t think bomber/flamer resist is generally that good, and mutant resist is just lol

#

If there was Shotgunner resist it’d be ok

#

But there isn’t

misty delta
#

dog resist chadgryn

faint beacon
#

true

tall torrent
#

Hound resist is just corruption resist but applies to only 1 enemy type

broken spade

toughness is easily one of the better things to be taking

wild summit

#

Are u talking 3x toughness curios

broken spade
#

for perks yes

misty delta
#

growing. flourishing.

tall torrent
#

For curio perks then I think toughness is optional

#

I think it’s just >200 health and 20% sniper being non-negotiable

#

Everything else is preference

wild summit
tall torrent
#

I play 3x docket + 3x sprint efficiency chadgryn

#

I have 3x docket on every class

broken spade
#

i think anyone who is considering gunner would've already taken toughness

wild summit
tall torrent
#

No, because gunner resist does do more specifically for gunners

#

It’s just that, extra toughness applies to mostly everything

wild summit
#

I can badically annihalated most bosses when i got my stack up kekW

tall torrent
#

More universally applicable

I have to go 2x or 3x hp because I run only one hp curio :P

even with a full left tree build it's only 2 points off the path

Only 1 point unless he gave up grenade regen

I basically theme all my builds around some idea

broken spade
#

what gun is this for?

tall torrent
wild summit
#

Vraks 5 and the shock club

i've had someone claim that weapons specalist is ultimately just a talent for fun. should i try just dumping points into the nodes of the bottom third of the tree?

broken spade

oh the autogun

tall torrent
austere mica

austere mica

however, most of its extra nodes are useless

Always Prepared is the exception

wild summit

Okay you know what? Show me what the good build would be and i will check it out to see what i can sacrifice! 🙂

misty delta
#

WS is basically the default keystone you take if you dont need FT to hit breakpoints

rigid schooner
#

the reload one seems really useful

austere mica
#

The reload rounds up btw

#

a single stack will reload a double barrel shell

rigid schooner
#

i'm just looking at this and reviewing my builds atm

misty delta

100% ranged crit and 15% atk speed is a little good lol
