gameplay first, sorry

I'm telling everyone involved with this conversation that it is probably going to wind up with somebody getting banned if it continues.

#

Don't say you weren't warned.

full nacelle
#

Yeah

#

shouldn't bring that stuff into Vet chat

#

just asking for trouble

uncut pebble
#

Shouldn't be discussed at all.

Representation = good. Bad writing = frustrating.

uncut pebble
#

It's a violation of rules #4 and #11.

earnest bone
#

Well, if it flops, it flops, there goes my new Mass Effect.

#

meanwhile we have like 3 weeks left before FS go on vacation

wet ether
#

I do hope for another mass effect but at the rate BioWare is going

full nacelle
#

will we see an update?

#

all I want for Christmas is an autopistol buff

earnest bone
#

otherwise there would be announcement already

full nacelle
#

I can live with that I suppose

earnest bone
#

when did we got pickaxes and smauls

#

june?

wet ether
#

Would it be to much to ask the devs to give us vets a revolver style nade launcher?

earnest bone
#

all weps need to be authentic

wet ether

I want a crossbow

obviously I know nothing about 40k lore

but it would be kind of sick

AHHH WHY IS IT MAGFED UPSIDE DOWN

#

WE LITERALLY ALREADY HAVE BELT FED MUNITIONS

wet ether

@full nacelle

full nacelle
#

siiiick

uncut pebble
#

No it's real.

#

Like there are machine guns invented around the time of ww1 that were mag fed upside down.

full nacelle
#

tbh I wouldn't mind if they put Vet on the backburner and focused on the other classes weapons

#

I have 20 vet builds and like 3 for the others

uncut pebble
#

I just don't understand why they used such an archaic fucking design for it when we literally have heavy bolters and autocannons that feed through belts.

earnest bone
#

didn't it was said in the lore

#

that a lot is lost technology

#

and they are kinda forced to use some crap stuff

uncut pebble
#

It would take 30 minutes to reverse engineer a belt feed system from a heavy bolter.

earnest bone
oblique sparrow
#

Yeah I see no reason to not use a Bolter. I just died because I was the team's only true ranged assit and the shotgun couldn't one tap snipers from a distance

uncut pebble
#

I GUARANTEE it's literally a fucking mg42 on the inside.

#

Just about every modern machine gun is an mg42 on the inside.

uncut pebble
#

I dont know what the name is, I'm just stating that they existed.

full nacelle
#

holy crap I was curious what the analytics on my Darktide vod would be

uncut pebble
#

Now the argument for it being "lost technology" just doesn't make sense because a heavy bolter is right fucking there and it's effectively the same thing.

The Bren gun was a series of light machine guns (LMG) made by Britain in the 1930s and used in various roles until 1992. While best known for its role as the British and Commonwealth forces' primary infantry LMG in World War II, it was also used in the Korean War and saw service throughout the latter half of the 20th century, including the 1982 ...

uncut pebble
#

No we are talking about firearm design and it's something I plan on going to school for.

#

The making and restoration of firearms is what I exist for.

uncut pebble
#

My body is a machine that turns stamped sheet metal into shitty AK clones.

full nacelle
#

I respect that. Love it when people get fully into their passions.

uncut pebble
#

There's something really pleasing about understanding a full takedown of a firearm and cleaning it to be 100% effective.

#

On the same side of the coin, it's unbelievably frustrating to figure out what's causing a malfunction.

That was a joke btw.

1/4 to 1/2 if i dodge 5 times!

Why do you put stamina on a melee weapon

umbral parrot
#

More Push Stab, and extra blocking. Duh

Especially the Push/Attack~! ❤️

#

Crit chance on power sword, opinion discarded.

umbral parrot
#

Hmmph!

uncut pebble
#

I can live with stamina because of PA abuse.

#

But crit chance isn't necessary at all.

lavish token
#

Just use WS

#

Is the power sword even serviceable without ws

#

With that horrific dodge distance

uncut pebble
#

1, you are already going to delete everything you touch, 2, anything that could be necessary to crit, like a crusher, you're just going to PA anyway.

uncut pebble
#

Laspistol can be drawn and used as a push if you're out of stamina from PA abuse and also serves as an excellent mobility tool and specialist dispatcher.

broken spade
#

I use a power sword without WS
The trick is to have VoC and shredder nades as a crutch

uncut pebble

It is my 2nd favorite vet build behind the coke addict build.

broken spade
#

i run mine with plasma

umbral parrot
#

That's where Crit Chance comes into play!

umbral parrot
# umbral parrot NVM

And Weakspot Damage. Yea, I can go Unyeilding, true. But then I would miss out on the slightly enough damage i need to kill Crushers!

faint beacon
#

I see Stamina and Block cost on a weapon

umbral parrot
#

ALSO, we're not factoring in Blessed by Nurgle buff too!

faint beacon
#

and I want to have someone skinned alive as an example

#

You literally just PA spam them.

umbral parrot
#

Yea, but can always do it faster~!

faint beacon

WS:

#

Literally any of the X Ability Buffs:

#

Speaking of WS, faster Crit Chance benefits from faster attack speed too~!

I think I am going to throw you into an active volcano.

umbral parrot
#

Then how can i pop Maniac Rager's head!?

uncut pebble
#

You shoot him.

umbral parrot
#

If they're hugging you, you can't charge your Power Sword without getting tapped. So you have to PA him without powering it up!

uncut pebble
#

Engaging ragers in melee is a bad idea.

#

So you shoot them.

umbral parrot
#

Oh right, i forgot i can shoot.

#

Hey, I love melee too much! Shooting is literally the worst part of Danktide. Does not help that i miss my shots too!

oblique sparrow
#

I like the shooting

broken spade
#

running 5% crit as your way to deal with ragers wouldn't help you that much anyways

stable sable
#

Is it just me or does it feel that powercycler on the powersword has a 15% to not commit to more than just the activation sweep?

uncut pebble
umbral parrot
#

Where's the fun in that!? To not meet them face to face head on!? Faith and Skill vs Drugs and Heresy!? I'm putting the money on the former, me~ ❤️

#

Regardless, I still do my part~! +

uncut pebble
#

Yeah, not considering it anymore. I'm going to throw you into an active volcano.

umbral parrot
#

1v1 me in Darktide!

broken spade
#

Pretty sure i 2 shot crushers with just elites on my ps actually

umbral parrot
#

Can with Weakspot Damage too.

lavish token
umbral parrot
#

That's why i can't run my +2 Stamina

broken spade
#

you could actually just run elites and unyielding if you just want to deal with bosses, ragers and crushers

faint beacon
umbral parrot
#

Yea.... but then i can't crit.

broken spade
#

running crit perk on power sword is just unhinged

umbral parrot
#

Crit has a nice orange color and a sound.

#

Think about it

#

25%~!

#

So if i were to swing 1000 times, I would only crit 250 of those.

#

Without it, 200...

#

See, math is amazing!

broken spade
#

wow so instead of critting 4 out of the 20 ragers, you crit 5 out of the 20 ragers.
I'm sure that'll stop them from killing you!

umbral parrot
#

Mhmm mhmm.

lavish token
#

Over kill so useful

umbral parrot
#

Oh yea, got to make sure they don't get up. x3

#

REGARDLESS, it's fun.

#

I like the power sword and my build. Works wonders.

#

Maybe I am crazy...

earnest bone
#

i should check if there's actually a rapier blade

#

for DS4

wet ether
#

which of the infantry las guns is the best?

uncut pebble

The green one.

And the blue one is icky.

I didn't really pay attention before, because I have bunch of curios from before update... but are +3 stamina stamina curios still available to be bought at the shop?
And if not, how are you supposed to get them nowadays?

pale pecan
#

Best perks for Shovel?

#

Going Uncanny Decimator

low wagon
#

probably carapace flak

analog yacht
#

depends which mk

pale pecan
#

Maniac Carapace

#

I figured it out

analog yacht
#

for mk1 that's what you want but for the other two you want car flak

low wagon
#

isn't mk1 supremely bad one?

analog yacht
#

i mean yeah but this is vet chat so you never know

grand perch
#

mk1 is perfectly fine. the push attack is pretty strong and gives valuable single target damage, while the rest of the moveset is perfect for CC and horde clear

analog yacht
#

the secret is that all 3 are the supremely bad one tbh

pale pecan
#

?

#

What is this blasphemy

#

I still won't forgive Fat Shark for nerfing shovel but not dueling sword

#

They nerfed the one for one weapon but left it for another

#

smh

analog yacht
#

yeah it's not your fault for liking the weapon, it's just poorly balanced rn

pale pecan
#

I can't even say what they changed either cuz I don't want them to nerf DS

#

It's just like c'mon man 😭

analog yacht
#

ds4 and rashad need to be tapped down but a lot of other stuff is in a horrid spot rn

pale pecan
#

I don't see the rashad hype tbh

#

It feels too slow

#

even with ws

analog yacht
#

I mean yeah it's no sword speed wise but the way it cleans through everything is kinda unparalleled

#

it's fast enough that i can take nearly no damage each run

faint beacon
#

Literally turn the game into fucking easy mode

analog yacht
#

i mean if you have ws you already have tf

#

as long as you aim at heads you just get 4 kills per swing

#

it's just absurd

faint beacon
#

Some builds don’t take it but Rashad genuinely should take increased melee speed

#

Again baby mode

#

It’s why I’m running shit like Shovel or Heavy Sword cause I want to have an actual weakness against something

analog yacht
#

idk with auric spawning waves of like 12 crushers it feels like ass to not have carapace damage

earnest bone
pale pecan
#

I was running it with the Helbore since I was trying to take advantage of that cross weapon blessing rn

#

Seeing that it probably isn't necessary

earnest bone
#

crushers 4heavies if no carapace

#

that's not even close to DS4(or knife), but you get a much better horde clear with rashad

pale pecan
#

I was using the 9 I think

#

Spamming heavies

earnest bone
#

if you mean hs9

#

forget about carapace damage and unyelding damage

Duos eat up time

#

Yea special + heavy can even do... alright damage into Carapace

#

I'd rather use a HS9 than a Bull Butcher, for example

#

I've never used the Heavy Sword 6 actually

#

What's it like?

earnest bone
drowsy aspen
#

...three fifty huh

#

Is that with Headtaker and Deathblow and stuff?

#

OH - what about the rending blessing?

earnest bone
drowsy aspen
#

Riiiight.

#

I kinda like it for Flak- but by your estimation, is it worth it at all?

earnest bone
#

Are you still talking about perks? Considering both carapace and unyelding damage is hot garbage theres only option of Flak + Maniac or Elites

#

Rending on hsword would be nice

earnest bone
drowsy aspen
#

Unyielding? I don't recall Unyielding being particularly bad

earnest bone
#

try to kill bulwark with it, you'l understand lul

#

then pick rashad, knife, or ds4, etc

drowsy aspen
#

Ohhhh you just unlocked some memories

drowsy aspen
#

800 hours in the game and I've spent a total of 10 minutes with a knife or axe in hand

#

Why?

#

...uhhhhhhhhhhhh

earnest bone
#

1100+ hours and i've never used plasma or heavy bolter (aside from a few missions)

drowsy aspen
#

Daaang

#

You should try the bolter at least ngl

#

Plasma is kinda based to have never used

#

But the bolter is hella fun and not too OP

earnest bone
#

i did it a few runs on zealot for meme magdumps into crusher packs

drowsy aspen
#

Yeeeee!

#

That's the big thing I love it for lol

earnest bone
#

but it was pre-buffed bolter

#

rn its better ofc

drowsy aspen
#

Funnily enough, I typically pair Hsword and Bolter

#

On stealth zealot especially

#

For which my friends are very disappointed

earnest bone
#

maybe when i'l get tired from lasguns i'l give a bolter a 1+ month spin

drowsy aspen
#

Hell yea

#

It's good and fun!

#

...Plasma- I kinda love plasma conceptually

#

But its overuse makes me not want to use it

#

...Even though I've never found it to be that good?

earnest bone
#

its mostly good because of its insane cleave

#

+damage/ammo efficiency per shot

#
  • you dont care what type of target you are attacking
#

its literally effective against anything

#

unlike something like Heavy Sword

#

which has not only one, but two major weaknesses

drowsy aspen
#

For sure

#

I don't know how to feel about weapons that do well into everything

#

I imagine that's part of why Plasma is so panned by a lot of high tier players

#

It's just not very interesting to shoot everything the same

#

Despite its weaknesses that's part of why I enjoy the Heavy Sword though

#

It's got mixups, simple though they are

#

Sprinting into the overhead to kill a maniac or flak fella is always nice

#

And I kinda like having the bolter to magdump on enemies it can't deal with

#

This is most peak on Stealth Zealot, where knives can fill the role of precise midrange fire too

earnest bone
#

Carapace is kinda okay, as it's armor

#

or they could bring uncanny to HSword

drowsy aspen
#

Yeah the Unyielding thing is a little strange- Jeez no thanks lmao

#

I feel like I remember killing Reapers really well with the Hsword

#

But then I think about Bulwarks

#

And I can remember hacking at them till the sun goes cold

earnest bone
#

Uncanny Strike for everyone

  • Dclaw
  • Hsword
  • Chainsword
  • Evis 3-15
drowsy aspen
#

Uncanny for Ogryn

#

(Would accomplish almost nothing)

#

That's not true actually - uncanny on the Bull Butcher could be insane

#

I wonder if it'd replace Tenderizer on the Mk. 4 knife as well?

#

...dammit, now I am considering what you said

earnest bone
#

well, too bad FS isn't considering anything like that

#

doubt we'l see any new blessings or rebalances soon in the game

#

maybe after another year

#

and probably another year for Autopistol to live in the dumpster

drowsy aspen
#

If they just add a few new levels, you can count me a happy man

#

Autopistol is S tier

**S tier

#

what is the best melee?

fast sundial
#

depends on the intended purpose

analog yacht
fast sundial
#

killing elites/armor/bosses? dueling sword
horde clear? chainswords, heavy sword, dclaw
something for both? power sword, rashad

analog yacht
#

in this I think i'd rec heavy sword over chain or dclaw

#

both are just in a really rough spot rn

fast sundial
#

i mean generally i would not recommend the middle section

#

but that's just me

analog yacht
#

true tbh

#

if we're being 100% there's no reason to run anything besides ds4 and rashad other than "i wanted to"

earnest bone
#

ds4 horde clear speed is still kinda miserable tho

#

sometimes i get tired of it

analog yacht
#

that's why you use rashad

lusty sapphire
analog yacht
#

the one thing dclaw has going for it is that it's safe

#

but like, so is knife but knife can also do damage

lusty sapphire
#

Ah in that sense

#

Well yeah, everything kinda is powercrept to hell

You can take another blessing if you want something more offensive. Up to you. It did help him survive that big ass wave of enemies. I like taking puncture myself, for the bleed stacks.

somber adder
#

Me when I see a slight deviation from THU METHA on a gun that breaks the game in a game that isn't that hard to begin with:

wet ether
#

yeah just going off at least 10 minutes of gameplay man is relying to much on his bolter to do the heavy lifting

languid estuary
analog yacht
#

Is telopots the incel or is that another guy

languid estuary
#

which other guy

analog yacht
#

Idk I remember one of the high level darktide guys is a 4chan type

#

I mean it's probably more than one but the one I'm thinking of is pretty open about it

languid estuary
#

tanner is pretty channed out

analog yacht
#

Probably him then

grand perch
#

The one time I was on telopots server, it felt rather 4channy

lusty sapphire
tough tiger
#

Real

#

If he uses his melee in that vid then ppl would complain about him not showcasing bolter enough

wet ether
#

Those points would be better spent elsewhere where

tropic notch
#

Even with survivalist the bolter vacuums ammo

#

I’d rather do weapons specialist with knife and d barrel

wet ether
#

Cause of the ammo it burns through

tropic notch
#

I feel like zealots flamer or bolter would be a cool ability

#

Instead of guns or make them do overheat that takes away a ton of toughness

As long as you treat boltgun more as a DMR with occasional mag dump utility, you can make the ammo last without too being too much of an ammo goblin

wet ether
#

People more often than not that I’ve noticed at least on Oceana servers mag dump

formal cradle
#

can you get a perfect plasma gun with 69 thermal and 71 charge from brunt's armoury or does that only yield single dump stat weapons?

lusty sapphire
#

Could say the same for glugger ogryns

lusty sapphire
#

I usually don't have ammo issues apart when meeting ppl exclusively using ranged

wet ether
#

Hordes not ok

#

High value targets thumbsup_ogryn

idle swallow
#

Aside from a few outlying offenders, burning ammo too fast is a player problem and not an intrinsic weapon problem

wet ether
#

Just personal opinion this is but you also gotta consider that the bolter at least to me has a very low ammo reserve

rain verge
#

anyone got a plasma gun build that dosent use focus target weapon specilist looks dope since you only pull out plasma for elites anyway

tall torrent
wet ether
#

Trial and error

rain verge
#

my vet knowledge is very lacking since i mostly play zealot and ogryn but wanted to get my weeklys done haha

wet ether
#

Bring it down, superiority complex and precision strikes are a must

tall torrent
#

Superiority complex no

rain verge
#

but you think i should still drop survivalist?

tall torrent
wet ether
#

Ok allow me to retract what I said bring it down and precision strikes

#

Thank you for correcting me @tall torrent

tall torrent
#

Tweak based on what u need

#

You cannot drop the 5% ranged damage node below frag otherwise u miss breakpoint

wet ether
tall torrent
#

Yea, tweak based on what u need

#

U can drop focus target for weapon specialist (no subnode needed)

wet ether
#

Ahh ok my bad

rain verge
#

Thanks man

tall torrent
#

And get 5% crit chance

#

Pretty good value

#

If ur melee doesn’t need rending strikes, can drop that for smth else too

#

Twinned blast is fun

#

I love gambling

wet ether
#

Imma just say this inspiring presence needs a rework

tall torrent
#

I’d rather it just be deleted

#

It’s just useless

wet ether
#

So is born leader I think

trim hemlock
#

Inspiring Presence is the least valuable small node in the entire game

wet ether
#

Is born leader useless?

trim hemlock
#

No, it has some value, but it's completely negligible with how strong say, VoC with yellow HP upgrade is

rain verge
#

also any mandatory perks i should slap on power sword for breakpoints

wet ether
#

Maniac and flak I was always taught

#

But I could be wrong

lusty sapphire
rain verge
#

also is power cycler and brutal momentum redundant

wet ether
lusty sapphire
rain verge
#

got it thanks

lusty sapphire
#

Ps3 wants cycler and Sunder

wet ether
#

Seriously you don’t need manic on ps?

lusty sapphire
wet ether
#

Fuck man

tall torrent
#

Born leader actually spreads the 100% toughness u get from VoC/infil

#

Which is usually 25~30 more

#

On top of D&H’s 50

lusty sapphire
#

Btw this works for plasma too. I like agile engagement with ws as you can tell KEKW_ogryn

#

It’s really not good

What's the best dump stat for the plasma gun?

Ah I see, vortex is kinda buggy with dt modding so that might be your issue

tall torrent
lusty sapphire
#

Check in the modding discord too at this point

candid agate
#

its worked fine for the past couple months but its just recently been messing up for no reason

sick cedar
#

Would this be considered a good stat spread then?

tall torrent
# sick cedar Uhoh

Ideal distribution is 80 damage, 80 stopping power, 80 ammo, 69 thermal resist (enough to get 8 consecutive shots from 0% heat) and as high charge rate as possible

tall torrent

#

What do you recommend?

tall torrent

#

This is the build I'm following, with some minor adjustements to the perks

tall torrent
#

Use this instead

Plasma breakpoints are simple

Do you run superiority complex?
Yes -> elite + flak/maniac
No -> unarmored + flak

If you run superiority complex, which breakpoint do u care about more?
Flamer 1 bodyshot non-crit at high heat -> elite + maniac
Scab mauler 2 bodyshot (crit/rising heat stack variable) -> elite + flak

sick cedar
tall torrent
tall torrent
#

Depends on ur melee weapon

tall torrent
#

If ur melee doesn’t need rending strikes, u can drop that

#

Demo team is very high value in higher difficulties

sick cedar
#

Also shovel

sick cedar
tall torrent
#

Knife wants stamina regen so you’d need to drop both demo team & rending strikes

#

Chainsword is fine in terms of melee talent costs, it’s just overall very mid

sick cedar
#

Ah

#

Well, I might need to rework some of my builds

#

I kinda wanna get back to using the helbore too

tall torrent
#

Field improvisation is not a bad pick if you somehow have 3~4 talent points to spare by the end of ur build

sick cedar
sick cedar
#

Yeah

tall torrent
#

What difficulty do u mainly play so far

sick cedar
#

Damnation

tall torrent
#

Even in regular damnation without modifiers it’s around 15 more grenades (?)

sick cedar
#

I guess the fact it has no cooldown goes a long way

tall torrent
#

In missions with very high elite/specialist spawns it can be close to 30+ like in C-I-VI maelstrom

200+ hours and still learning new stuff lmao

tall torrent
#

If u throw 2 frags and wipe an elite horde, chances are, demo team gave u back 1 for free

#

And with demo stockpile giving u back 1 every minute

sick cedar
#

Ahhh

tall torrent
#

That’s roughly one frag save every minute

sick cedar
#

Yeah I understand why you'd take it now

#

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate that help

tall torrent
#

Field improvisation is not bad if u can afford it

#

But the thing is

sick cedar
#

That it's reliant on havign a medipack/ammo crate?

tall torrent
#

No

#

The problem is that

#

Zealot’s best blitz is throwing knife which they can self replenish

#

Basically only frag bomb ogryn & fire nade zealot will care about the grenade pickup function

OK, that's fair, but that's still value that only really helps your teammates, and doesn't do anything if they're at full Toughness. There is value in that, it just isn't what I'd normally consider over just straight more melee/ranged power for 5s on ability use.

trim hemlock
#

and especially not on say, ES build. Stealth might get some value out of it still.

tall torrent
#

And if you take it just so you can gobble up all 4 ammo crate charges to spam grenades, you’re kinda being mean to ur team lol

#

Unless you play with 3 psykers

sick cedar
tall torrent
#

It doesn’t changes breakpoints for the most part

trim hemlock
#

FTE isn't amazing either, sure

tall torrent
#

That whole row is “pick whatever”

#

Born leader happens to be the best for VoC out of those 3 most of the time

trim hemlock
#

How's the guide coming along, by the way?

tall torrent
#

Everything else is complete

trim hemlock
#

Cool - really compelling an effort uwugryn

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

Prolly just overall stackup, no concrete source of damage

sick cedar
tall torrent
#

Because only 4 regular enemies deal corruption
Tox bomber’s gas cloud
Poxwalkers (melee)
Poxburster’s kaboom
Pox hound’s bite

sick cedar
#

But I can see why you'd prefer born leader over a 5 second buff

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

Yeah

#

If it was maybe a longer buff, sure

trim hemlock
#

Staying in the trapper's net also inflicts minuscule, but scaling corruption over time

slow spade
#

most teammates are quick enough to save you

sick cedar
#

Oh yeah that's fair

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

How's this look for a hellbore build?

tall torrent
#

First off what melee do u want to run

#

Usually it needs both horde clear & anti-Armor

sick cedar
#

Either shovel or knife

#

I find them to be the most fun so I do best with them

tall torrent
#

Shovel

sick cedar
#

I'm not hugely keen on Exec stance but I'll see how it runs

frank basin
#

Tanner posting duck

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

I run IV

slow spade
#

oh then you're good lol

tall torrent
slow spade
#

mk4 helbore does surprisingly good damage

tall torrent
#

Take marksman

sick cedar
#

I was experimenting with the other marks for the bayonet charge but couldn't find them as enjoyable

slow spade
#

indeed

sick cedar
#

I don't care about the meta as much as just having fun with a build and what's the most comfortable to me

slow spade
#

I find the Mk4 basyonet still does good enough damage to kill strugglers

sick cedar
slow spade
#

obligatory "just shoot them" too

sick cedar
#

Weird

sick cedar
#

Gonna take counter fire cause I like being able to keep the ability active by just killing ranged stragglers

#

And also demolition team would fit well with executioner's stance it seems

#

This is what I ended up with for my helbore build

#

Tbh I would take the 8 stacks focus fire talent but I find myself pinging too many enemies too quickly to get the full 8 stacks

tall torrent
#

Demo team is not necessary for krak, it’s nice tho if u rly want it

sick cedar
sick cedar
tall torrent
sick cedar
#

I like having it for the utility of things

tall torrent
#

Helbore has very low extra sway from being suppressed

dry cloak
#

suppresion immune is a double edged sword in my opinion

#

it can help but it can kill you

dry cloak
tall torrent
sick cedar
#

Would superiority complex be good to use the 1 leftover point on?

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

OH THAT'S WHY I HAD A LEFTOVER POINT

#

I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU PUT IT ON

tall torrent
#

Also u don’t need subnodes for exe stance

#

Probably get One Motion

#

Helbore draw speed is cancer

sick cedar
#

Yeah it's...

#

It's something

#

I more so took counter fire cause I liked having the ability to keep Exec stance running for longer

#

But I guess the Helbore's damage is good enough to not need it at the same time

tall torrent
#

Step 1 of playing exe stance better is to understand that you’re not meant to try to keep it up forever

#

Be flexible

#

If having to melee to save ur life means dropping exe stance, do it

sick cedar
#

Yeah that's fair

#

Plus it's only a 30 second recharge now that I look at it

tall torrent
#

It’s not 30s when you almost always kill a specialist to cut CD when it’s active

sick cedar
#

Yeah I just meant the base cooldown

#

Without factoring anything else

#

@tall torrent Thanks so much for helping me out with this

#

I appreciate it a lot

#

One last thing, are these good perks and blessings to have on the shovel and helbore with that build in mind?

tall torrent
#

Shovel does way less stagger than u think

dry cloak
#

i use mk6 knife with haymaker for hordeclear on my ,,sniper,, build

sick cedar
radiant chasm
#

since mk6 still has a target cap and isn't nowhere near a massive arc

tall torrent
tall torrent
sick cedar
sick cedar
radiant chasm
#

haymaker is basically only for ogryn clubs cause they can bat away whole swathes of horde

#

for combat knifes, riposte, flesh tearer, even lacerate would be better than 20% chance to oneshot 4 human sized enemies when your best combo doesn't use heavies only

dry cloak
#

one shotting maulers with a scrath is funnier

tall torrent
sick cedar
#

Gotcha

radiant chasm
dry cloak
#

i want my builds to be fun

#

being good is second matter

slow spade
#

to be fair, a fun build should also be good as losing isn't fun :p

frank basin
#

What if he doesn’t really care about victory?

slow spade
#

then we wouldn't see them

#

so problem solves itself

If I’m wanting a non meta build c axe vet is pretty cool

tall torrent
#

Like, top 3 strongest melee

earnest bone
#

maybe he meant chainaxe

#

tho it's also strong

tropic notch
tall torrent
#

Chainaxe is kinda meh for veteran

tropic notch
#

It’s ok

somber adder
#

Chainaxe is just fun

tropic notch
#

Can clear if played correctly

#

Then again that’s with anything

#

It’s my go to if I’m not using the knife, ds, or combat axe

#

And power sword

frank basin
somber adder
#

My comfort is tac axe for that carpal tunnel

tropic notch
#

But i don’t use the ps often

tropic notch
#

I hate the taxe so much

#

I can’t stand it

frank basin
#

isn't taxe like knife?

earnest bone
#

i like tax on zealot, on vet i feel like there's not enough crit

frank basin
#

spamming mouse

somber adder
tropic notch
somber adder
#

Fair enough lol

#

It is

tropic notch
#

It’s good but I’d rather just do uncanny mercy killer knife

frank basin
tall torrent
frank basin
#

while taxe just light spamming constant

somber adder
#

The infinite dodges while twirling your axe around like a fantasy movie protagonist is just fun and easy

tall torrent
#

Tac axe is like
It’d be good if it had maybe 2.5x carapace & unyielding dps and you could run 4 blessings on it

tropic notch
#

It’s carapace is abysmal

tall torrent
#

Why does the “slightly smaller axe” have a third of the single target dps of the “slightly bigger axe”

hearty panther
#

that's a pretty unfavourable estimation tbh

tropic notch
#

If I’m running it I have to run an auto with that brittleness blessing

frank basin
#

the shattering impact?

somber adder
#

Onslaught is what I thought they meant

frank basin
#

that's the talent

somber adder
#

Yeah I can't read

tropic notch
#

Yeah that’s it

#

Meant talent

somber adder
#

Always knew I was a bit psychic

frank basin

#

Onslaught is really fun, makes a lot of shitters good

warm harbor
#

So when are we getting the Stormtrooper Hellgun for Vet?

warm harbor
#

I want that 😔

candid agate
#

does combat knife need rending strikes?

tall torrent
candid agate
#

so ive wasted a point in many builds

hollow ibex
viral bramble
#

Which autogun should I get? I have none of them.

tropic abyss
#

braced or infantry?

viral bramble
#

It doesn't matter. I only have lasguns and bolters.

#

I just want a strong autogun

tropic abyss
#

all the infantry ones are good, the vraks has crazy DPS due to rate of fire

viral bramble
#

Preferably not burst fire

tropic abyss
#

columnus is my favourite and agripinaa is slower and has more damage, very controllable if you have the aim for headshots, but less ammo economy than the columnus, which is the balanced one

#

for braced I don't know either, don't like them

#

vigilant autogun has one variant that isn't burst fire (it's semi auto)

#

that's the one I tolerate the most

viral bramble
#

What's the biggest difference between Infantry/Vigilant and Braced?

somber adder
#

Infantry can ads, vigilant is high damage with low firerate and braced is spray and pray with high dps

hollow ibex
viral bramble
#

Thanks, getting infantry for sure then.

hollow ibex
#

yeah infantry is very well-rounded

#

has massive damage boost on headshot, but not as punishing if you land body shots compared to viligant

somber adder
#

Infantry Vraks is one of the best guns in the game imo

viral bramble
#

Got a 60mob one on second roll, so I guess the stars alligned.

hollow ibex
#

braced has kinda fallen off

candid agate
hollow ibex
#

i only used agri braced back in the day

#

did not like colum braced at all

tall torrent
candid agate
#

think i remember it had insane horde clear

hollow ibex
#

nah it was just shit

#

(still is)

tropic abyss
#

how am I supposed to use the plasma gun?

#

I want 20 mastery with it but I don't like playing it...

somber adder
#

Left click for the win

tropic abyss
#

no charge?

somber adder
#

Charged shots are mostly worse than just left clicking

#

Use it for special/elite sniping and mowing down hordes in a line with the infinite cleave

tall torrent
tropic abyss
#

I get mastery based on kills or damage?

#

cleaving down hordes sounds faster

viral bramble
#

Just buy a shitton of the matching grey weapon and upgrade to green

#

then sacrifice

tall torrent
somber adder
viral bramble
#

Dumdum + Deathsplitter for infantry auto?

tropic abyss
#

I want to experience the weapons a bit, it's an excuse for me to test them out

viral bramble
tropic abyss
#

but I was considering doing it for the plasma and power sword...

#

they feel bad

tall torrent
#

Also grab the 5% crit chance talent on the right (above infiltrate)

#

Also take reciprocity

somber adder
#

It's a good excuse to familiarize yourself with each weapon as you said

tropic abyss
#

yeah

#

the Crusher was fun too

#

I only got a decent roll and went around playing with it but it grew on me, now I'm upgrading the weapon and keeping it around

tall torrent
#

Crusher is peak zealot

#

Top 3 zealot melee

tropic abyss
#

eviscerator, hammer and crusher

somber adder
#

I absolutely despise crusher

tropic abyss
#

those are fun ones

somber adder
#

That shit does not work for me

tall torrent

but crusher is the third one, less good than hammer and evis

Yeah that's fair, I used very skunked builds whilst penance hunting so that definitely plays a role

Almost done though 🙏

it’s really strong

ur really strong

great single target, good horde clear

hearty panther

ever think about that

It’s kinda ass vs ragers

severe gale

chastise lights will stagger ragers

hearty panther

couple impact nodes will do it too

dont even need the chastise

can just stunlock rager masses with lights

When are u getting around to testing grievous wounds

idk !

never probably

#

all i know is GW helps with mk3 evis h1 staggering ragers and thammer heavies

I think it’s a solid A tier melee

even if you got BT + Carapace

and if you dont, you dont even try

tall torrent
#

Like in the clip she showed

#

But that’s like literally every melee ever

earnest bone
#

and 2-3 bulwarks too

#

knife and DS4 can easily deal with that, but mk15 cant finish the damn animation

#

i'd wish there was a blessing like +100% rev speed

tall torrent
#

Double the rev-tick damage

#

That’s what chain-weapons need

earnest bone
#

its just take way too long

tall torrent
#

I hate the fact that most of them bank all the damage on the finishing tick

earnest bone
#

yeah

#

they could swap finishing tick with the first tick

umbral parrot
#

IMAGINE!? Make it the perfect boss killer!

earnest bone
#

like the blade pierce the flesh

tall torrent
#

It’s still pretty ass for duelling chaos spawns because u have to stick through the rev animation for big damage

umbral parrot
#

It's also meh against Beast of Nurgle. Kinda hard to dig into their weak spot.

earnest bone
#

the damage is insane tho if you hit it

#

i think like 10k or 15k depends on buffs at the moment you hit it

#

but you need to bait the tail sweep first

#

and only then go for it

#

so it's still a time waster

umbral parrot
#

Hmm.... a good buff would be to do more damage in terms of more ticks! I think it's 3 ticks and rip?

somber onyx
#

hey so the dueling sword is

fucking

im not even a level 30 vet yet, its my 3rd character im trying to get there

Not saying it isn't strong or even the strongest

But Vet has comparable damage options and infinitely easier* survivability

*Easier, not necessarily better

deft crystal

Veteran’s damage is not comparable to EK surge m1

#

Except maybe 1 build that actually takes some effort to play

faint beacon

Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn actually being able to live for more than 3 seconds vs Psyker

but Psyker can just fucking

I just think they got nerfed hard with the lack of Damage reduction being nerfed.

#

Double all ogryn damage see if anyone notices

umbral parrot
#

So you really only go Heavy Hitter or Gungryn. FNP is just trash now.

#

And i miss running into a hail of Gunner Fire, charging my heavy attack up in order to get as much resistance as i can. lol

tall torrent
#

And like a permanent 10% melee atk speed node earlier in the tree without heavy hitter

umbral parrot
#

Or buff blocking to benefit them somehow. I've played my Ogryn with 3 dodges for months lol.
