I feel like it’s kinda like Crusher at home

#

But tbf, much more stylish

#

I really want to do a shovel knight build...

#

but there's no point other than the satisfaction of going THUNKTHUNKTHUNK

hollow ibex
#

Shovel is a decent option for a build with low melee investment fwiw

full nacelle
#

oh yeah for sure

broken spade
#

shovel can get uncanny right?

full nacelle
#

I used to run the spike shovels as an easy answer to crushers on my pure ranged builds

#

sure can

broken spade
#

do the funny grenade bistol build and use uncanny shovel to buff bleed

full nacelle
#

that's why I was so shocked Orcka had such a fit over me saying I prefer the Rashad more

#

shovel is still good staregryn

#

Rashad just REALLY good

shadow dagger
#

i dont use spike shovels because i dont respect the mk3 heavy sweep and the mk7 light combo feels so silly

broken spade
#

knife takes too many points
and horde is too painful with ds + bistol
maybe shovel would work well with it

full nacelle
#

yeah they're kind of clunky...

shadow dagger
#

i might just be nitpicking but the feel just isnt right

steady ibex

#

if a weapon doesn't pass the vibe check that's an F-tier

#

and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise

oh shit

#

when the game gives you a weapon that's 80/80/80/80/61, is it scamming you out of that half percent somewhere else and rounding it up?

full nacelle
steady ibex
#

I've also seen it the other way around where you have a 59/80... weapons.

tropic abyss
full nacelle
#

two different versions of the same build... one is more about team support, the other is full melee axe murderer

strange patrol
#

What's a tacaxe/boltor build where I can boltor as much as possible?

steady ibex
full nacelle
#

The "battle medic" build likes the Rashad because it gains back a ton of toughness in hordes. I wouldn't run that build with like a chain axe or something more single target.

steady ibex
#

There's also a sort of battle medic build in the guide, do they differ because yours focuses on melee?

full nacelle
#

You just dive headfirst into hordes and play total frontline for your team while you constantly keep up their gold toughness. You could rally a team of 3 brain damaged lemmings through auric missions with it.

trim steppe
steady ibex
#

Yeah that one relies on Glory Hunter + Confirmed Kill to regen a bunch of toughness for allies as well.

trim steppe
#

BUT when they fix it? Who knows

steady ibex
#

Does the Born Leader regen gold toughness?

full nacelle
tropic abyss
trim steppe
full nacelle
# steady ibex Does the Born Leader regen gold toughness?

the extra shout node provides gold toughness, which is the most broken mechanic in the game... if you know how toughness works, gold toughness means NO damage will go through to your health so keeping it up basically makes you a god

#

every time you shout you get that gold toughness cap

tropic abyss
#

what are the chances of their fix ruining 80/60 now?

full nacelle
#

and born leader constantly fills your teammates toughness into gold toughness

steady ibex
full nacelle
#

you pretty much make yourself and your squad EXTREMELY tanky... which lets you play EXTREMELY stupid KEKW_ogryn

steady ibex
#

I thought toughness regen only fills normal toughness.

full nacelle
#

totally not broken

trim steppe
full nacelle
#

so you just spam shout to keep the gold cap and keep refilling everyone into that cap so you all take no damage

#

it's how I got the On Overwatch penance on my first try... that and hiding behind a pillar on the final event thumbsup_ogryn

steady ibex
#

gotcha

full nacelle
#

Yeah shout is what gives you that gold toughness cap. If you're killing specials to keep shout up you can maintain gold toughness pretty easily throughout the entire match.

steady ibex
#

so what does a weapon specialist build do better? more damage?

inner temple
#

Heavy sword is so nice honestly

inner temple
slim terrace
#

what should my friend have on combat knife and infantry lasgun?

full nacelle
# steady ibex so what does a weapon specialist build do better? more damage?

Weapon Specialist is for builds that swap between your melee weapon and ranged constantly. It gives you better special sniping and overall more damage. Absolutely broken with revolver. Focus Target! is generally better if you're not frequently swapping weapons and it gets Target Down! for even more toughness/stamina refills.

steady ibex
#

Got a sample build for that?

full nacelle
#

Sure, one sec!

steady ibex
#

Would also love a classic Marksman build if you got one 🙂

trim steppe
#

If you're empty, swap to melee for 1 kill, hit swap to gun and back between swings. 5 poxxies and you're reloaded

#

Not to mention in the middle of mulching hordes, you get a ton of extra damage building up for pocket sniping that specialist who pops up

inner temple
#

Ngl heavy sword is fun

hollow ibex
trim steppe
#

HS9 is great

languid scarab
#

Any good or meme builds for dooble barrel shotgun?

inner temple
trim steppe
#

HS9 + plasma does work

inner temple
#

Also the shove attack does do armor pen aswell on heavy sword. As always any melee heavy goes through armor and somehow heavy sword special does.

Infantry lasgun marksman builds are solid

I personally never could get into helbores. So clunky

languid scarab

It's really hard to make it work as a main weapon since it's super short range and ammo hungry but fuggit

Manstopper makes it shred so much with infinite cleave

#

Cool I just literally burnt 500k dockets and got ZERO god-rolls

#

Thank you Fatshark

trim steppe
#

Unlucky. Still better than the old system tho

#

500k and no 60/80s is pretty unlucky. Usually you can fish one in like 10 rolls

steady ibex
#

Yeah less friction points but this one still hurts.

inner temple
steady ibex
#

Out of money btw.

full nacelle
#

think of it this way, you get to play more DARKTIDE pogryn

inner temple
#

Especially for DB

steady ibex
#

The issue is the potential of damage is 79 rather than 80 which is annoying

trim steppe
#

I think Hammer wrote that range can be the dump too but I don't remember

inner temple
trim steppe
#

I stand immediately corrected

inner temple
#

Dumbstat*

trim steppe
#

I always just dump mobility except on power sword

steady ibex
trim steppe
#

Or if it has defences

steady ibex
#

You don't need more than 51% mobility to hit the dodge count cap

inner temple
#

If I find a full on use for the range then I switch out yk no skin off my back

full nacelle

Here you go!

I've ran it in auric missions and it works KEKW_ogryn

the +20% damage on the tin is at like what, 30m?

it starts at a pitifully low starting damage boost at like 12m

full nacelle
# steady ibex Why do you take Reciprocity and not say Longshot and Determined?

Determined is ok. You don't need to worry about suppression most of the time, especially if you're running exe stance which makes you immune. It's more of a fluff node if you have an extra point you don't know what to do with. Reciprocity is one of the most broken nodes on the tree. 25% crit chance is huge and dodging ANYTHING counts. If a soldier misses their shots at you, it gives you stacks.

shadow dagger
#

can shovel heavies stagger ragers mid combo with enough stagger/power or am i better off using some other way

or actually

candid agate

i dont have exploit weakness on this build?

do you mean onsalught

one of the smykers was talking about how he was 30k off 1mil damage at the end too

#

what are you doing dog

is this what the smite buffs does to people

candid agate

1mil damage and like 3 kills

shadow dagger

doing 15% damage to 250 crushers

yippee

im cool with at least like the +50 psyker smiting because he was panicking in text chat about it being his first time playing civi and seeing so many maulers

What’s XIV for that scenario then

analog yacht
#

Path is asking why the mark of lasgun matters to why you wiped to a horde

candid agate
#

idk i never care about specific weapons for specific malestroms

#

i just play

tall torrent
#

XIV’s main benefit for me is the ability to shoot through horde to kill flamers & trappers

#

And cleave 1 shotgunners

candid agate
candid agate
#

i liked the gun

#

my team was bad

#

i dont remember why i added the comment after saying i liked the gun

analog yacht
#

Fair enough

#

I hope you understand our confusion tho

shadow dagger
#

or is it a little more complicated than that

tall torrent
#

If a melee weapon sucks at fighting rager groups I basically just don’t use it

shadow dagger
#

i cant tell the difference because i cant figure out the whole melee duelling rager thing regardless of what melee i use

tall torrent
#

What melee do u prefer

shadow dagger
#

ive been using shock maul recently which yeah its like one of the better options

tall torrent
#

Duelling rager is not hard for most weapons

#

Once u understand their attack patterns

#

Ragers have 2 combos

broken spade
#

i still hate dreg ragers

#

disgusting creatures

tall torrent
#

Usually they start with a left-to-right (right-to-left for them) diagonal slash which u can dodge left for

#

This buys u enough time to start ur combos

shadow dagger
#

yeah the problem is mostly on my end lol i just need to practice more instead of giving up after taking one hit, backsliding, and shooting them

broken spade
#

nurgles blessing dreg ragers is the worst thing

primal zealot
#

Same and also I have a weird and insane question

#

Do different classes have different accuracy ?

tall torrent
primal zealot
#

Like ability to land a shot

analog yacht
#

bullet dispersion

tall torrent
#

There’s no ADS bullet spread for most weapons

#

The only exceptions are shotguns (duh) and recon lasguns when suppressed

primal zealot
#

I go to poke a rager crusher mutant whatever on my vet and it kills or at least hits their head

#

Same exact toothpick on my zealot misses wide by a mile half the time

tall torrent
#

Uh

analog yacht
#

is your zealot shorter

tall torrent
#

I don’t think melee weapons have “accuracy” as a thing

analog yacht
#

and yeah accuracy isn't a thing but weapon hitboxes hit the first thing they come in contact w/

primal zealot
#

Nah I make all my guys tall as possible

analog yacht
#

idk i think just confirmation bias

tall torrent
analog yacht
#

noticing a pattern where there is none

broken spade
#

I dont think there should be anything different with aiming melee in that case

tall torrent
#

This is part of why I think rager headshot breakpoints for ranged weapons are mostly pointless

primal zealot
#

I was thinking that too or some kind of selection bias

analog yacht
#

be sure to aim a bit above enemy heads w/ a lot of weapons

#

if you clip their body hitbox before hitting head then you hit body

#

varies per weapon obv.

primal zealot
#

Idk I hit em almost every time on vet and miss half the time on zealot

#

On psyker I just run away ngl

analog yacht
#

maybe a thing w/ zealot's movespeed

primal zealot

misjudging distance bc of it

Fellow vets, what would be a good built for a infantary lasgun?

#

i want to get the mastery up but dont know how to build

primal zealot
#

Well you should take shocktrooper for the free ammo and that other one next to it or above to have more ammo

#

If you afford it you might consider onslaught for that fast brittleness application

analog yacht
#

ilas isn't really fast brittleness

primal zealot
#

Oh shit I misread that

#

Maybe throw some marksman’s focus in the mix then since you should really be aiming for heads anyways so might as well benefit from it + make some progress on that stupid penance

loud flower
#

i already have the penance done

inner temple
loud flower
#

i have all the penances for classes

inner temple
#

In my opinion

inner temple
#

Im gonna do this with all lasguns and such later tbh

primal zealot
#

Shock trooper should still be a good option tho

loud flower
#

i think i will do straight up exe stance and marksmen's

#

and get the node on exe stance that highlights all ranged

primal zealot
#

Although idk don’t listen to me if you’ve already done every penance you probably know the class better than me

loud flower
#

I am always all ears, everyone has new stuff to say that i dont know about

#

Also i am dumb

primal zealot
#

If you’re not just highlighting but killing all the lil ranged fucklers you’re amazing tbh

inner temple
#

Ideally I have a ranged build tho

primal zealot
#

I’m an ogryn main so the lil shooters are the bane of my existence

#

I’d hazard a guess that at least 60-70% of all damage I’ve taken has been from those little buggers

#

Hence my undying love for any vet that actually deals with them instead of trying to compete for melee kills or whatever it is most pub vets do

inner temple
loud flower
#

As i vet i mainly use my ranged wepon, because i like to shoot

#

i often get hit because i am just ads'ng to deal with shooters

inner temple
#

Makes no sense

gilded rock
#

Almost as much as trappers

tropic abyss
#

what's the problem with trappers? they're the least annoying of disablers

#

dogs are the worst

gilded rock
#

Dogs are super staggerable, plus both easily shovable and dodgable

#

And they push aside enemies

tropic abyss
#

their hitbox is a suggestion at best

gilded rock
#

Trappers do their thing and the only way to avoid is to dodge because chances are they're hiding behind masses of enemies

tropic abyss
#

trappers are nice, they have a nice round white head just begging to be shot in the face

#

at the same height of everything else, mostly

gilded rock
#

Dogs' arrival is also much more telegraphed audio-wise

tropic abyss
#

eh... both sounds are very distinguisheable

gilded rock
#

Both of their attack sounds are yeah

tropic abyss
#

but as a vet I'm most often with my rifle out and I can't push with that

#

and dodging is finicky because hitboxes

inner temple
inner temple
#

Ive once pushed without the dog being anywhere near me and it fell down.

tropic abyss
#

I'm not sure that's lag, it might just be the hitbox

#

their hitbox is all sorts of fucked

#

with ogryn they'd be extra aggravating if I wasn't always holding a melee weapon and ready to push

cause you can't dodge that stuff reliably as a big man

What's the best Veteran build rn? Asking for a friend

austere mica
#

There isn’t one

mortal aspen

mortal aspen

oh nice so thats how the stacks work. will keep that node then

but yeah weapon tier lists are especially tricky

#

I think talents are easier to properly tier

wet ether
#

what about the chainsword?

#

what tier is that?

inner temple
#

Thats the best part tier lists honestly doesn't work because its based on how the player sees it.

full nacelle

And individual opinion can change really fast too

inner temple

Exactly

personally i love me chainsword

you change one node or the AI director plays nice with you

all of a sudden the loadout you hated is amazing

I may see someone be insane with combat axe or maybe knife or something then go 'yeah imma try that' then sit back and not try it because I hate them.

wet ether
#

i know y'all will hate me for saying this but the proc rate on comp urge needs a buff

full nacelle
#

nah it does... I would be fine if they even reduced the strength of the buff to have it proc more often

#

it's just too unreliable on most builds

inner temple
#

On the upside when it procs its good

#

And it may proc on my stealth build which is good

full nacelle
#

yeah, same issue with Skirmisher... great buff, absolutely crappy unreliable uptime Sitgryn

tis a shame

#

could be a really cool node for mobile vets

If you just want to level it and nothing else, you don't actually need to use the weapon in order to level it

full nacelle
tropic abyss
#

you can just take it with you and just use your melee all the time

#

I did that with the staves on psyker, they're quite bad without some stats put into them

Bring it down over rending for sure

I leveled most of my ranged weapons just from taking them along on my melee vet build through auric missions

U can check the pinned guide here, I have detailed pages on mostly everything for veteran

full nacelle
#

Use that talent point however you wish... You could even get rid of demo team and get the other reload perk up at the top if you're a true mad lad

#

updated it if you refresh the build

winged hedge
#

would strongly recommend that. bolter reload is a huge limiting factor

full nacelle
#

personally I like running both reload perks

#

but I know a lot of folks have issue with that KEKW_ogryn

i always do

snow peak

do grenades have crit and ranged damage multiplier?

winged hedge

also, no determined?

nah... you could take it over demo team but I find exe stance takes care of suppression in most cases

I don't find myself getting suppressed enough to take it

exotic gulch
#

i have almsot the same bolt as the build

#

was going for crit chance og

oh you totally can if you want! some people prefer the more consistent puncture build, some prefer crit chance with surgical/deadshot

both are good

Mercy Killer is for the quirked up fiends who like to live life on the edge

and by that I mean you spend one talent point and its pretty good

Mercy killer needs serrated blade, that’s all

yup

slow sky

so like

why

slow sky

the numbers are roughly the same

because precog is badass

slow sky

i save precog for zealot

Real I play my vet like zealot

slow sky

even then uncanny/MK just fucks hard on vet

tropic notch

I just figured it would push vet further

tall torrent

Riposte is kind of better ngl

tropic notch

And i wouldn’t say it’s harder to proc all you must do is dodge

If u want a dodge-related blessing

i feel like vet talent for dodge crit, base melee crit node, and knives crit bonus is enough for me

tropic notch
#

Real

#

I do love that one

slow sky

plus its also like
id rather use something different on vet
if i was going to play dodge blessings on knife why not just play zealot for duellist and second wind

just something different to play into what this class can do vs the other
