sanguinius' soul remains in the warp so he can still help blood angels (Dante, Mephiston) in the form of "it was revealed to me in a dream"

uncut pebble
#

Iirc his soul was made when the Emperor took two minor warp deities and crammed them into one vessel.

#

So in all actuality, the psychic scream he released upon his death could've just been those warp entities parting.

#

Meaning Sanguinius could still be revived, but only by the Emperor himself.

Does veteran get any new weapons for the December update? I saw the two handed power for zealot, two handed force for Parker, and the heavy stubber for oggy, but nothing for vet. Did I miss something?

Dude, ur not supposed to tell them!

Either a good or bad thing

I hate this game lol

#

Why not add one more for vet

Ehh, Ogryn needed it

#

They have borderline nothing

But they could just do one for everyone?

Did vet have more weapons than the others?

It's a guard weapon

They wouldn't not give vet a new weapon for no reason so

They should buff the venting, like making faster and not damaging you.

Well maybe not with onslaught actually

round geyser
#

Something tells me out of pure spite veteran gonna get allot of nerfs

queen fox
#

Honestly if veteran got a -20% recoil talent that would be awesome, only recoil reduction talent is executioners stance iirc. Deadshot only does sway and accuracy

round geyser
frank basin
#

On veteran

round geyser
#

Before anyone says anything it’s the stamina drain that I refer too

#

That makes it useless

elder garden
#

This update seems pretty unfair for veteran we really need some different weapons just for us. Hell I take a hotshot Lasgun or even a long las

queen fox
#

Stamina drain should be based on magazine spent, and should not have a passive drain over time

#

I think a laslock would be funny

#

Remind people they exist

frank basin
#

Laslock like

#

Just like father intended

elder garden
#

The veteran class needs some kind of weapon only for veteran because it seems to me everyone else has access to most of them apart from the plasma and that’s it

queen fox
#

Plasma and powersword are 2 of the best weapons in the game

#

Until Dec 3

#

We will see

plucky dome
#

Only thing I want on vet is the flamer, I desire burning the heretics in a non-zealot way

queen fox
#

Will ogryn ever get a lascannon

#

There are a lot of exotic weapons the devs could potentially include

elder garden
#

This update is going to push a lot of people away from the game I think

queen fox
#

I doubt it. A harder difficulty and new weapons for most classes

elder garden
#

I’m on about veteran players pretty much excluding us

queen fox
#

They said they had more info for veteran players later

#

Be patient, maybe we're getting a talent buff/rework

btw did anyone experience crosshair problems with crosshair remap mod and autoguns?

cause I can't see crosshair on right click at all, it briefly appears when I let go of the rmb

tried changing in the mod options, doesn't work

tall torrent
#

Basically the only guns that care about collateral stat are boltgun & autopistol

thick bear
#

Had to check and there's no Collateral on Agripinaa apparently?

#

So if you go Agripinaa, dump Mobility, for Vraks I guess dump Collateral

tall torrent
thick bear
#

So he'd need 2 separate braceds if he wanted the correct dumps on both Agri and Vraks

Agri is my beloved anyways and I'd never cheat on her with Vraks, but hey, if he prefers it, go for it

Two-Handed Power Sword (2 Marks) - Zealot: A massive, high-damage melee weapon with wide, sweeping attacks.

Munitorum Mk X Relic Blade
Munitorum Mk II Relic Blade
Two-Handed Power Sword - Unique Features:

Heat Activation Mechanic: Generates a heat gauge, building over time. Reaching the limit locks activation briefly (overheat mechanic).

Special Attack: Sprinting Heavy stab attack for unique engagement tactics.

dry cloak
#

You toggle it on ita buffed you generate heat

#

I believe

fading yarrow
#

Nah I think I understand; it's a single push activation like normal Power Swords, but the activation causes the gauge to build, and it continues to build with each subsequent activation

#

So if you're in a horde and you charge, swing swing discharge, charge, swing swing discharge etc, it builds up quickly and locks you out of further activations until it cools down enough

#

Ofc, its main difference from the normal power sword will probably be blessings that capitalize on having a high heat gauge during those later swings

Technically that's supposed to just be a normal power sword

same statline and everything

#

esp since you literally see them using those with a shield

"True scale" or not big hands

hybrid river
#

But the grip is explicitly large enough for them to be able to be used two handed if necessary

fading yarrow
#

On both models, even

#

Including this one

orchid nova
#

the back model is more of a hand-and-a-half

hybrid river
fading yarrow
#

If you look at historical longswords, which are two-handed in normal use, the back model's hilt falls in line with average longsword hilt lengths. Even longer handles like the front model's were to provide leverage for longer blades, ie zweihandern/montante

yeah

#

I think they're calling it that in game too

#

so I think they're going for the fact its not really something you'd find all willy nilly

orchid nova

one of those "acceptable" breaks from canon

Like how Vermintide made the Grudge Raker and Cog Axe into mass-produced weapons

but its so fucking boring

Honestly

frank basin
#

I like work as relic blade

#

The reason why its boring cause its gameplay loop is literally

orchid nova
#

most melee aren't much different

faint beacon
#

Special

#

light till special drops

#

orchid nova
#

once you figure out the loop

faint beacon
#

light till special drops

#

repeat

orchid nova
#

like,

#

what would you call a complex weapon

dry cloak
#

I play psword unpowered poat of the time

orchid nova
#

at most it's a block cancel combo or a special attack combo

faint beacon
#

Tac Axes honestly are a fine example

#

especially Mark 3 Evis

#

where it has really fluid movesets

orchid nova
#

pretty boring yeah

#

like,

#

even fancy bretsword style looping weapons ultimately become a loop once you've gotten it drilled

#

from that perspective, Mk 6 is actually fairly varied

faint beacon
#

Varied as in

orchid nova
#

You got heavies for wider swings, lights for quick swipes, and push attack light combo for single target

#

and you can in fact mix and match to a limited degree

faint beacon
#

I hate to break it to you but the most effective way with mk6 is literally just Light spam on horde and push attack on single target

#

what I want to see

frank basin
#

Is mk15 Evis that braindead?

faint beacon
#

is a reason to use non-powered mode

#

that's why its so fucking boring

grand perch
#

make it so you have to recharge the special with a little generator pump

faint beacon
#

you're forced to use Power Cycler or you're basically throwing

orchid nova
#

most weapons don't even have two modes

#

And you're not forced to use brutal momentum?

frank basin
#

Sunder for elite horde stuff from path said

You can attempt using Slaughterer + Brutal Momentum

Combat axe

orchid nova
#

brumentum is one of the few ways to turn it around

faint beacon
#

Its literally overpowered for the sole purpose of Brutal Momentum lmao

#

Bromentum did the job

orchid nova
#

would I prefer it if power sword had 2 swings baseline and only +1 from cycler or something?

#

Yes

hallow drift
orchid nova
#

But it's pretty dishonest to claim power sword is anything unique in being hinged on a single blessing

#

a lot of weapons are

#

Ogryn shield's killing power absolutely skyrockets with bromentum

frank basin
#

I don’t feel different

#

Using bm on slab

faint beacon
#

Thats just cause Brutal Momentum is insanely overpowered

frank basin
#

Do we revert bm back to old one?

faint beacon
#

A lot of weapons sky rocket in value

#

cause of Brutal Momentum

orchid nova
#

You're moving the goalposts again

#

is this a "blessings are imbalanced" issue or just a "power sword alone requires you to pick this one blessing" issue

faint beacon
#

Its more so both seeing you never really have a purpose to run other blessings outside of Cycler and BM which boils down to those two issues

#

its why Combat Axe is also one of the top melees in the game

#

If a single blessing is so powerful that it’s required to make the weapon function, it needs to get changed

orchid nova
#

to put it bluntly, there is no way for some of the more niche blessings to be made competitive without just slapping blunt +str onto them in addition to their normal effects

#

Then remove it from axe.

Then axes have basically no cleave

Might be worse horde clear than duelling sword lol

Fatshark school of balancing just like vt2, vt2 nearly everything gets crit, block reduction, swift slaying

slow sky
#

combat axes are currently only kept alive by BM

faint beacon
#

Its honestly why im pushing for Power sword being reworked as well cause it would just allow for more creativity with the damn thing instead of

#

me millionth Power Cycler + BM combo

slow sky
#

thats both because its stupid strong
and theyre stupid weak without it

orchid nova
#

And combat axes are the only weapons in the game that use BM

#

quite

faint beacon
#

You might get the rare Power Cycler + Slaughterer but like come on spice the weapon up

they do

if you're using Mk6 swap to Mk3

orchid nova

And yet will any of those be compensated? How much compensation is enough?

way better on it

Yup

Swap to Mk3 its Heavy swing focused

Because I like the poke overhead combo

You think BM nerf instantly kills those weapons too?

# orchid nova I'm still open to that

Hi still open to that, I'm Vtel

But nah, it just boiled down to me saying that it seemed disingenuous to use a pommel-grip Ochs guard to say longsword hilts are longer than that back Crusader model's hilt when a pommel-grip would put his sword firmly in the longsword range along the average set by various English, Italian and even many German artifacts

queen fox
#

No

slow sky
#

all of those weapons can function without it
its just BM is that strong

#

that its best in slot for them

#

combat axes just instantly become shit without it

orchid nova
slow sky
#

that doesnt mean BM is broken
it is
but combat axes need changes on top of that when bm is touched

orchid nova
#

without it they go straight back to being glorified batter appliers

faint beacon
white minnow

can always do a balance pass alongside a BM change

faint beacon

I mean that thing helps crazy amounts

slow sky

skullcrusher is 80% more damage for being an ogryn lmao

faint beacon
#

I literally use it with fucking opportunist + skullcrusher and it does wonders

orchid nova
#

Yes let me just swing four times at individual horde enemies before I do 1.4 damage instead of 1

frank basin

Will you be sad if they nerfed BM @orchid nova?

Yes.

Unequivocably

Shield has been in the trashcan for years

it was bad
but now its usable

orchid nova

Then they updated the skill tree

buffed shield offense

They gave it Opportunist

and they were finally viable

Like I kid you not that with the talent that also gives 10% on elite kill and the 5% rend node

#

you literally get 40% rending on Ogryn

#

insane shit

#

and add on Skullcrusher

#

a buff for both you and your team

orchid nova
#

Which is 5 more than you had with just dominate

tall torrent
orchid nova

which is years too late for horde clear

white minnow

applies after any first hit that staggers

orchid nova
#

wth are you smoking

faint beacon

It applies on first stagger

queen fox

I have basically never played ogryn

anything

frank basin

@white minnow I haven’t seen you while, where you been?

slow sky
#

what

orchid nova
#

Dominate used to be 30%

faint beacon
#

that staggers them immediately applies X stacks of Skullcrusher

#

yes its 25% now

but

orchid nova
#

It's 10%

faint beacon
#

or well no

shit

white minnow
#

I was locked up in a basement after I tried to rob a geriatric 80 year old for his insulin

faint beacon
#

im thinking Opportunist

#

Anyways

slow sky
#

that is extremely good

faint beacon
#

Opportunists 25% + 10% from Dominate + 5% node

#

40% doesn't seem crazy

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

but thats still pretty fucking insane

slow sky
orchid nova
tall torrent
#

Anything u can stagger, Skullcrusher is essentially 40~80% more damage for u for free

orchid nova
#

which, when you're fighting hordes, is asking a lot

faint beacon
orchid nova
#

esp since even with +80%, damage detroiates to very little

slow sky
faint beacon
#

cause its not a self buff

#

its a GLOBAL

#

BUFF

#

Absolute cinema

orchid nova
#

it's effectively just amplifying bleed

#

Again, how many times do I have to explain this to you

tall torrent
orchid nova
#

horde

#

I'm not the one claiming power sword is somehow "Boring"

tall torrent
#

Do you know ogryn shield’s cleave values even

orchid nova
#

just because it doesn't have twice the depth of every other weapon

tall torrent
#

Or cleave distribution

faint beacon
tall torrent
orchid nova
#

H1 is limited to about 8 or so H2 is unlimited

tall torrent
#

Ok you’re wrong sorry

#

H1 is 13.1 cleave

#

Enough to hit 4 Dreg ragers

orchid nova
#

took you longe nough to google it lmao

tall torrent
#

Stagger all 4 of them

orchid nova
#

Yes, and what's the damage distribution?

tall torrent
#

When’re you gonna one hit 4 Dreg ragers with shield H1

#

Remind me

orchid nova
#

When you're facing any rager patrol?

#

Hello?

#

DO you think they only come in 1s and 2s?

tall torrent
#

In what, uprising difficulty? lol

#

When are you gonna do 2k first target damage on maniac with shield H1

#

Be realistic

orchid nova
#

That's not what I meant and you know damned well

tall torrent
#

I know what I asked and you gave a very clear answer

orchid nova
#

yes

#

as a deflection

#

Again, what is the damage distribution

frank basin
#

Next level of Orcka29

tall torrent
#

When’re you gonna do enough maniac damage on H1 to one hit kill Dreg rager on weakspot so your BM carries damage forward to the 3 other Dreg ragers

orchid nova
#

even if we ignore how disengenuous bringing up ragers when we were talking about horde is

#

When you've beaten them down repeatedly and bled them?

#

Again

#

What is the damage distribution

narrow frost
#

Is this BM vs the rending blessing for shield?

tall torrent
#

BM is for horde clear
BM is too strong and needs changes

frank basin
#

He’s dodging question. KEKW_ogryn

orchid nova
#

Yup

tall torrent
#

I never said BM is not too strong

#

I don’t think u even understand how BM works rn

frank basin
orchid nova
#

You say that about everything when clearly I do

slow sky
#

this is the damage distribution for the slab shield heavy 1 against unarmored, flak, maniac, and infested

tall torrent
orchid nova
faint beacon
orchid nova
#

Now don't make me answer the question for you

faint beacon
#

(cause it is)

#

Doesn't mean its not good

its just boring

orchid nova
#

It isn't

slow sky
frank basin
#

@orchid nova do you main slab shield everyday?

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

it fucking is

tall torrent
#

You can at the very least answer that

orchid nova
#

If you're still on the level that you think alternating heavies and lights makes a weapon more interesting

#

Than maybe

#

maybe

#

Every weapon boils down to figuring out the right clear loop

tall torrent
#

Because if u don’t understand how BM works then you cannot argue that it doesn’t need to get nerfed

orchid nova
#

just because one is different

orchid nova

Did you use the shield before it was buffed?

orchid nova
earnest bone
#

next

tall torrent
#

Did you know that getting to 1 hit 3 horde enemies after BM nerf would still be good?

frank basin
orchid nova
#

Would that still dumpster shield?

#

Yes.

earnest bone
#

but 2 would be overkill

tall torrent
#

Because shield’s damage profile is high enough for that even if BM was nerfed to 2 targets

earnest bone
#

at 2 i would probably go with headtaker + decimator on tax

#

and would skip combat axes

orchid nova
#

There is 0 ambiguity on this. No nerfs to shield.

orchid nova
#

I am not losing it again.

frank basin
#

How many default Cleave on body mass without bm? 3-5 bodies?

slow sky
#

you can just
use another blessing
and get the benefit from that blessing

white minnow
#

have you considered the possibility that weapons can be baseline buffed

orchid nova
#

And have a useless shield

earnest bone
tall torrent
# earnest bone and would skip combat axes

BM 2 target + third target still takes enough damage + further targets just take minor cleave damage

This is basically literally heavy sword’s damage distribution schtick by default

orchid nova
slow sky
#

like weapons shouldnt be designed with a specific blessing in mind as mandatory

slow sky
#

that is bad design

earnest bone
slow sky
#

so trying to make it so is advocating for poorly designed weapons

earnest bone
#

buffing base cleave + nerfing BM could work

frank basin
orchid nova
#

So, are you actually insane enough to demand every blessing be nerfed to the level of Bash

orchid nova
#

Because that's what your logic results in

#

not talking to you

tall torrent
#

Light swing

#

5 cleave is 2 Dreg rager/both gunner

slow sky
#

thats about 3 poxwalkers

earnest bone
tall torrent
gilded rock
#

heh.. happens naturally,,

slow sky
#

and its cleave profile would actually get to see the light of day for once

earnest bone
#

right now i think its 1.5?

#

1.5 is kinda meme-tier

slow sky
#

caxe lights is 1.5 yes

tall torrent
#

I think it’d be at least interesting that u could consider forgoing BM for more direct single target damage

orchid nova
#

Good luck.

Fatshark's been obessed with keeping axes single target since vermintide lmao

slow sky
#

thats the same as tactical axe lights which come out like 3x as fast

tall torrent
#

Instead of this 1.5 cleave that hits nothing that BM can’t kill through

frank basin
#

Aaaargh how many bodies a club shield can cleave through pox/groan without bm?

orchid nova
#

Agreed

slow sky
earnest bone
#

VT2 weapon balance is really bad, partially because they added Cata (difficulty) later and it messed up a lot of things (aka breakpoints)

frank basin
slow sky
tall torrent
#

I think ur point for shield getting gutted if BM nerf is an overreaction

But I do agree that most ogryn melee weapons need better baseline cleave damage distribution

slow sky
#

thats its budget

orchid nova
white minnow
#

can prob crank up the second target damage and keep the cleave low on axes

slow sky
#

a poxwalker has 1.5 hitmass

orchid nova
#

Greatsword for one

frank basin
#

So then 3-4 bodies

white minnow
#

cases do seem to actually have a non default finesse value defined for their second target

orchid nova
#

And the DLC weapons powercreep so hard a lot of the base game weapons are genuinely unusable

earnest bone
#

but before nerfing bm, i guess they should do something with underdogs

#

aka autopistol

slow sky
earnest bone
#

ogryn knifes

slow sky
#

shotgunners have a hitmass of 2

earnest bone
#

etcetc

orchid nova
#

Sword and mace being a prime culprit

frank basin
tall torrent
#

As an example

#

So they differ more from each other

white minnow
#

yeah those are some good ideas to add some differences

you can give yourself carpal tunnel to make it better

#

It kinda gets overshadowed by the picks cause well

#

they're the picks

slow sky
#

anyway
nerf bm
buff weapons that rely entirely on bm to function so they can live with out

faint beacon
#

but still it was my old go too melee for the longest time

tall torrent
#

If u mean fine Armor damage as like
400 vs carapace weakspot per light stab and like 700 crusher dps

wooden cedar
#

theyre so fun but it feals greasy to use them because of how busted they are

tall torrent
#

That’s not very good

wooden cedar
#

ill have to retest them then

orchid nova
#

Ultimately, my point is that frankly, you'd have to truly throw most blessings into the trashcan to make things like bash and smackdown actually competitive

wooden cedar
#

i havent played ogryn in a while because i dont hate myself

orchid nova
#

To say nothing of inherently self-defeating crap like Thunderstrike

tall torrent
#

I don’t think every single blessing being good is possible

orchid nova
#

Blessings aren't going to be balanced, some of them are genuinely just conceptually bad

tall torrent

But variety is possible (ex: plasma gun)

white minnow
# tall torrent One day Decapitator (combat axe) will be good Probably, idk

combat axes are prob one of the worse weapons for decapitator because the dynamic range of damage of its attacks is small.
If it were on a weapon with more varied attacks and a higher variance in damage, you could do something like stacking it with the higher damage attacks and then continuing to use the lower damage attacks

frank basin
#

Some mostly like hacker and griefer

Like rdo

DC swords’ cleave distribution is so funny

First target (unarmored): 487 damage
