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"
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.
Primarchs are not only build in the lab, they are infused with minor god souls.
(this is blood angel copium)
didn't emps say he could fix manus
That's why Horus clone is just the bio clone.
after his head got lopped off
I dont remember.
Fulgrim clone actually has a shard of Fulgrim OG minor god soul.
which is what I find strange
No do on new account
But I do remember Him saying that He could fix Mortarion.
I got warn and my post deleted from Xbox reinforcements meme
who up
cuz he said he can't fix angron
Anime
Go girlrot somewhere else...
I am very much enjoying the lasgun crit ammo, so glad they reversed the nerf
What’s that
Uber?
k
SESBIAN LEX
i loveee signalis
(that's it, that's the entire game)
cigarette wife is such a good song
So you’re a woman and you have gf that’s means you’re lesbi 
Yes that's literally the game.
That's what it is.
You aren't too bright, are you?

Helluva community
is this game good or nah. re clone good?
If you played and enjoyed REmake or any of the original silent hills 1 to 3, signalis will be right up your alley
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?
No but supposedly balancing to the weapons? Possibly?
Either a good or bad thing
But they could just do one for everyone?
we got good news mate
Did vet have more weapons than the others?
Tin stop spreading misinformation literally right after you made it
I can't wait
I’m giving you a day till I’m not going to correct you
I'm too giddy about it
a day it is
Please.....Helgun.....PLEASE
I wanna see them add the belt fed for the game art in vets perk tree
I hate that they would cock tease us like that
just get that onto reddit already
when is vet getting anything two handed?
Most likely never
It’s probably going to be like
A stubber or helgun
Something ranged
Powerfist or smth
Power fist has been data mined
Doubt it
It's a guard weapon
They wouldn't not give vet a new weapon for no reason so
I am curious what they're doing
give me melta or plasma incinerator
longlas works but it would be clunky in darktide
this is a joke right?
Oh that's pretty good
does anyone have the video of rashad breaking ragers combo?
vet already has like 5 bajillion weapons
true but 5 bajillion +1 would be nice
true...
It's real
ive been baited
if john fatshark said so then it must be true
Fat Jockshart
I apologize for the brainrot.
My job is slow and it's eating my sanity.
They should buff the venting, like making faster and not damaging you.
Right now, reloading is just faster while suffer no drawback.
ah yes... remove the one thing that prevents it from being completely brain dead m1 spam...
I think the shock maul is under rated
this good for stealth vet with smokes and WS?
choosing mk2 over the other marks because the attack patterns look better for generalist mixed horde clearing, and the single target looks pretty straightforward with special into H1
what is the best way to get "make every shot count"
DB shotgun
elaborate
Regular shotgun no?
Low ammo count
double-barrelled shotgun
i also need to NOT MISS
And 1 pellet hit count as a hit.
damn near impossible to miss with shotguns
and the pellets that dont hit?
Yea
if even 1 pellet hits it will count, due to minimum pellet count system
Unless you intentionally hit the sky, then there is no help
Are you fucking serious
Zealot, ogryn and psyker get new weapons and we vets are left high and dry
good

it's fine
i want a melta gun personally
That what 10k children wish for ps5
Seriously hammer how are you fine with this bro
Ain’t you a vet main?
veteran has 56 weapons, a lot of which I think could be better
instead of new weapons that power creep older weapons
56 weapons that include marks?
yea
Hmmm
We dont really care
I really want shredder get buff then get mark pattern
we just want weapons that vet already has to be tweaked
AHEM Power sword
but thats kinda about it
Nerf powersword?
Psyker force sword?
combat axe
power sword
duelling sword
brutal momentum
uncanny strike
plasma gun
weapon specialist
marksman's focus
skirmisher
and more
to be changed
would be nice
tac axe buff pls
no
Or they just toss aside
but playtesters have been giving good feedback
Yes I can see that
What’s with these list you’re wishing then?
if they get changed I'd be happier than if they weren't
They gonna brainstorm rework stuff
Take about months to go all
I know you don’t work with fs I wish to see you did
well after one mission of pressing a shotgun firmly into every enemies gut and pulling the trigger until i had zero ammo i have jack and shit
Yeah
Something tells me out of pure spite veteran gonna get allot of nerfs
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
Deadshot is good but it’s also fucking useless
Braced auto like only LMG stuff I can use but I need hand held machine gun
On veteran
Before anyone says anything it’s the stamina drain that I refer too
That makes it useless
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
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
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
Only thing I want on vet is the flamer, I desire burning the heretics in a non-zealot way
Will ogryn ever get a lascannon
There are a lot of exotic weapons the devs could potentially include
This update is going to push a lot of people away from the game I think
I doubt it. A harder difficulty and new weapons for most classes
I’m on about veteran players pretty much excluding us
They said they had more info for veteran players later
Be patient, maybe we're getting a talent buff/rework
Vet kinda needs it tbh
What post exactly?
?
It’s not in any of the recent posts
looks at recon vids with infinite deadshot
I said stamina drain is the part that makes it useless
That passive drain is annoying
looks at recon vids with infinite deadshot
A single +3 stam curio with the stam regen keystone should be enough to keep deadshot up
is it loose cannon that says "fight, kill and do it again" or something along those lines?
and "there is only war"
cadia fucker
No that's cutthroat bitch
Also it's close, not fight.
I'm pretty sure the other line for the Cutthroat is "I WANNA HEAR EM SCREAM!"
ok thanks
When the vet hits em with "LOK'TAR O' GAR!"
deadshot does reduce recoil
I think 19%?
but it doesn't fix ur recoil to be predictive (unlike exe stance)
leveling up executioner vigilant autoguns is gunna be tough 😩
complete other missions, then gain mastery with the guns exchanged
I really like Professional's lines. "Rally formation, right fragging now!" And "Weapons up! Drive them back!" go hard.
cowards way of leveling! ill suffer and ill like it!
any big pp Vet got a view on this?
I mean rashad with double barrel can't go wrong.
you can buy a bunch of grey weapons and consecrate them all to green level then sacrifice them to gain levels insanely fast
has to be of the same types
9000 mastery per
Sorry misread the question
Yeah that'd be alright. Personally prefer precognition however over riposte
what is braced autogun's dump stat?
mobility
oh, is the finesse from Precog more valuable than crit?
I'd say generally what gun are you using?
umm not sure actually, it's gonna be Bistol / Zarona / maybe Bolter?
going for mk2 I think
is collateral actually good on braced?
That'll work fine. Bolt pistol might not be as valuable without using shredders

lemme see if I can fit Shredders instead, I'll have to path through Timbuktu
ok I can but then I'd have to give up Rending Strikes / Bring it Down
actually I think Bolter with Pinning Fire might theoretically be just better overall
I can see that
Depends on the mark
Agripinaa has the best stagger so yeah
Graia is weakest stopping power, then Columnus
what about vraks mk2? also dump mobility?
Oh my bad, forgot about the rename
Columnus = Vraks I believe
That's it now yeah
And yeah, dump mobility on them
ok thanks
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
Dump collateral
Basically the only guns that care about collateral stat are boltgun & autopistol
Had to check and there's no Collateral on Agripinaa apparently?
So if you go Agripinaa, dump Mobility, for Vraks I guess dump Collateral
No, it has stopping power (which u want 80%)
I'm guessing Stopping Power gets converted to Collateral if you change marks
So he'd need 2 separate braceds if he wanted the correct dumps on both Agri and Vraks
Yes
Agri is my beloved anyways and I'd never cheat on her with Vraks, but hey, if he prefers it, go for it
I do hope we get a power sword rework alongside grim protocols it's so boring to use right now
What's the typical Recon Las build look like?
Build as in the blessings and perks or the talents?
Talents I mean
This is what I use currently but wasn't sure on a couple nodes taken
Looks good to me, only change I'd really make is drop Counter-Fire for Opening Salvo for a little more crit chance
How we liking our compensation?
Stop posting this man you're gonna cause the biggest misinfo spread ever.
misinfo is fun
sometimes
I think it's too much bait
It's obvious bait from the first paragraph
people has fell for it already 
I thought it'd be a nice laugh
I enjoyed it
Just make it tabletop accurate and have a 1 in 6 chance of exploding on a fully charged shot 
Higher the heat the bigger the chance of going boom on a shot hehehe😈
Yeah not believing this horse shit
Still not gonna be ammo effiecient
Even if it was real
People would still just use it as they do now
Bro 😭
people did fall for it
so I think it did work
nah its real
people in gen chat already fell for it and were excited for plasma buffs lmao
LMAO
are you serious
oh my goodness
@steep vault post on Reddit I wanna reaction
no
too much damage already
I don't wanna start mass hysteria
where can i read this in full?
Well it would be awesome if you did post in Reddit
Back of the cereal box
it's fake
I wrote the original draft up in 3 minutes
and then spent 30 minutes to make it look real

sorry to disappoint
yea
I'm bored
@steep vault u should add in the ability to rocket jump by fully charging secondary fire and shooting the ground
Interesting
You ever find something with the potential to be game breaking
And are trying to decide on whether to keep it a secret or not
oh I do know a lot of that
should talk to dorn
he can get them fixed
lmao
I don't think it's something game breaking quite yet
but I am almost certain it will be
But it is something atleast
If they buff a certain blessing it might be busted
But we'll see.
I don't have any money to swap blessings to test rn lmao
My man I knew it was fake the moment I looked at it
mhm mr smarty pants
you do know right if i'm not in the fat shark forums i'm generally in this discord
okay but I don't really care
I'm here to have some good fun
posting this gif should be a bannable offense
too fuckin bad
will admit those it was good bait since it fooled others
does the +20% block efficiency perk decrease push cost?
I can confirm
especially when you have a red stim
Red stim + Exe stance
instantaneous beast of nurgle genocide
w/ a recon lasgun 😩
i hope they buff hellbore rifle swap speed
why is bro so stiff
Terrorist
What no lumbar support do to a mf
Posture check, gamers
Best set up for bolt pistol? Trying it out rn
I run puncture DA
but for vet
Puncture LP
LP helps with shredder nades
25% more radius is awesome
This gif is on the sex offender registry of 137 countries
what blessings are best with dueling sword?
Ok how bout perks?
flakiac
also
check pinned on this channel
there's a guide made by path
check it out
Shred/Uncanny Strike is what I prefer on mine
damn just damn thats a good posture 
totally wasn't looking at the the thighs
I notice the symbol on his belt buckle while checking it for knives
Skull with wings
I ask him “what regiment”
He says Cadian
We high five
Colleague confused af
What's up
No cadian symbol? Still a shame
Shred and Uncanny/Agile for horde clear
Precog and Riposte for sweaty dodge attack single-target
Thrust and Uncanny for normal single-target
Extra Flak and Unyielding damage
Those are my go-tos, at least
Wonder if they’ll give an over heat mechanic to reg power sword
Would be nice
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.
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
The Veteran intentionally overloading his great power sword as he jumps into the massive horde:
"TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!"
We aren't getting anything this update to put it bluntly
Ehh
I dont really mind it
I'll be happy if they go "Surprise we reworked Power Sword/marksman focus"
You mean a shame that GW doesn’t make regiment specific belt buckles?
Ehhhh
Two-handed power swords aren't a Militarum thing, though
It makes way more thematic sense in the hands of a crusading advocatus ministorum
To be hones two handed power swords were explicitly a Space Marine thing.
Not just as in "Space marines in melee". The only lore for two handed swords were typically stuff like chapter relics
chapter relics you say
Get ye gone, blood angel
Tbf the swords being given to Zealot are called "Relic Blades"
In absence of Astartes, who better to put them to use than someone who'd treat those tools of war as the holy artifacts they are than the Zealot?
Apart from the Blood Raven in the vents ofc
Someone who you can actually trust with a priceless relic that many forge worlds have lost the means to create...like plasma weapons
or power swords
Someone trained and experienced and not just a crazed lunatic that got picked up after he burned down a hab block or something
Consider the following
Nuh uh
Excellent point. However
Yuh huh
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
But the grip is explicitly large enough for them to be able to be used two handed if necessary
the back model is more of a hand-and-a-half
Yeah but it’s obviously meant to be the exact same sword, it’s just shorter on that model so it doesn’t jab into the side of his body
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
Same reason why this exists:
You work as air security?
quite, it's mean to be a one-handed power sword
Only if you count english bastard swords, German Longswords tend towards atleast a 3 hands tall grip
Like so
Ye
Longer grip would allow for better control ye
Kinda but with equipment and training
I see
either way, I have the datasheet in front of me.
It says those are standard one-handed power swords.
same statline
+1S AP-3, 1D
I hear so many horror stories about the TSA from passengers
Relic Blade is +3S 2D
Lunch break over, back in 2 h
It is significantly different
Cya then
There’s lot of cat pfp and two whale here and a shark
Vet should have the 2 hander power sword :[
to be fair
Just the weapon scale being weird and making the sword as tall as the model
so I think they're going for the fact its not really something you'd find all willy nilly
one of those "acceptable" breaks from canon
Like how Vermintide made the Grudge Raker and Cog Axe into mass-produced weapons
Im honestly hoping a Rework to Single Hand powerswords come just cause-
christ its so fucking boring
Hot take I know
but its so fucking boring
Honestly
The reason why its boring cause its gameplay loop is literally
most melee aren't much different
once you figure out the loop
I play psword unpowered poat of the time
at most it's a block cancel combo or a special attack combo
Tac Axes honestly are a fine example
especially Mark 3 Evis
where it has really fluid movesets
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
Varied as in
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
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
Is mk15 Evis that braindead?
make it so you have to recharge the special with a little generator pump
you're forced to use Power Cycler or you're basically throwing
most weapons don't even have two modes
And you're not forced to use brutal momentum?
Sunder for elite horde stuff from path said
You can attempt using Slaughterer + Brutal Momentum
but its literally awful on PS
axes cleave is crap
Combat Axe?
Combat axe
brumentum is one of the few ways to turn it around
Its literally overpowered for the sole purpose of Brutal Momentum lmao
Bromentum did the job
would I prefer it if power sword had 2 swings baseline and only +1 from cycler or something?
Yes
TSA mentioned where is my Liquid meme
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
Thats just cause Brutal Momentum is insanely overpowered
Do we revert bm back to old one?
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
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
Tbh (not to dive bomb you while ur having another convo) I kinda use PS like a force sword with shittier light attack damage but yeah power cycler is a make or break blessing
I've been slowly typing an autistically-detailed sword response to Whale about a topic that passed 15 minutes ago
I shouldn't be on the phone past 1 am
Like I dont think I've ever seen someone perform well with anything that's actively trying to go for an Unpowered PS build
Hell I've tried it myself its not enjoyable at all
Yes, and?
Again, you're claiming it's "more" boring than other weapons,
because it only has one viable mode?
Me replying to 45 minute old posts because the brickwork in this building traps me like warp magic
Most weapons only have the one mod
This is new orcka29?
BM itself needs to be nerfed down to like 2 targets
Combat axes need base cleave increased so they actually hit things outside of activating BM
Hell no, you leave my shield blessing alone
Nah, BM really needs changes
If a single blessing is so powerful that it’s required to make the weapon function, it needs to get changed
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 is having 10 blessings across all weapons be worth using
depends, since enemy numbers means that we can live in DPS check city and not have to worry about survivability too much
Old BM like kill increase cleave I remember someone said worse than wrath.
Why’re you so pressed over BM on shield in the first place
various blessings will become more useful when we have to actually worry about getting sustained to death
BM killing 2 is still pretty strong
Fatshark school of balancing just like vt2, vt2 nearly everything gets crit, block reduction, swift slaying
combat axes are currently only kept alive by BM
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
thats both because its stupid strong
and theyre stupid weak without it
You might get the rare Power Cycler + Slaughterer but like come on spice the weapon up
tactical axes
shield
heavy swords
I like power cycler and sunder, bm feels redundant
power maul
Idk they have on it?
Mk6 or Mk3
ogryn shovels
if you're using Mk6 swap to Mk3
And yet will any of those be compensated? How much compensation is enough?
way better on it
Yup
6
Feel wack
Combat axes are the only weapons in the game that don’t function properly without BM
Swap to Mk3 its Heavy swing focused
Because I like the poke overhead combo
Wdym compensation
You think BM nerf instantly kills those weapons too?
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
No
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
You ID'd the guard. You're truly a man of culture as well.
that doesnt mean BM is broken
it is
but combat axes need changes on top of that when bm is touched
Shields are just barely kept out of the shitter by them.
without it they go straight back to being glorified batter appliers
Skullcrusher?
can always do a balance pass alongside a BM change
I mean that thing helps crazy amounts
skullcrusher is 80% more damage for being an ogryn lmao
I literally use it with fucking opportunist + skullcrusher and it does wonders
Yes let me just swing four times at individual horde enemies before I do 1.4 damage instead of 1
Will you be sad if they nerfed BM @orchid nova?
Understandable
Swords and early-high-late medieval trivia have been my personality for almost 20 years
I regret nothing
Ok buddy turns out you have no idea how skullcrusher actually works
Too bad
you have not used skullcrusher or know how it works if this is what you think
Who’d have thought
Shield has been in the trashcan for years
WHAT
it was bad
but now its usable
They gave it Opportunist
and they were finally viable
FREE RENDING
I used skullcrusher constantly until I replaced it with opportunist to make up for the loss of actual Dominate
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
Which is 5 more than you had with just dominate
Buddy you do not even understand how skullcrusher functions I don’t think you have enough information to be having good takes
It only applies after the second hit, unless they've patched that
which is years too late for horde clear
applies after any first hit that staggers
wth are you smoking
It applies on first stagger
I have basically never played ogryn
anything
??
@white minnow I haven’t seen you while, where you been?
what
Dominate used to be 30%
that staggers them immediately applies X stacks of Skullcrusher
yes its 25% now
but
It's 10%
I was locked up in a basement after I tried to rob a geriatric 80 year old for his insulin
that is still a flat +.1 to your armor adms
that is extremely good
Skullcrusher IV is
Any melee damaging hit/push applies 4 stacks of +10% damage (max 8 stacks)
This damage bonus is active when the enemy is in any of the 3 stagger states
First hit/push, +0% damage, apply stagger
Second hit/push, +40% damage, further stagger
Third hit/push, +80% damage, further stagger
but thats still pretty fucking insane
this is also able to be capitalized on by your teammates
Exactly, only applies on second hit onwards
Anything u can stagger, Skullcrusher is essentially 40~80% more damage for u for free
which, when you're fighting hordes, is asking a lot
And your team if you're more huge on teamplay
esp since even with +80%, damage detroiates to very little
that also applies for opportunist???? and only works against armor????
it's effectively just amplifying bleed
Again, how many times do I have to explain this to you
You were saying insane things
Do you know ogryn shield’s cleave values even
just because it doesn't have twice the depth of every other weapon
Or cleave distribution
Yes
It fucking is though lmao
What’s H1 and H2 cleave
H1 is limited to about 8 or so H2 is unlimited
took you longe nough to google it lmao
Stagger all 4 of them
Yes, and what's the damage distribution?
When you're facing any rager patrol?
Hello?
DO you think they only come in 1s and 2s?
In what, uprising difficulty? lol
When are you gonna do 2k first target damage on maniac with shield H1
Be realistic
That's not what I meant and you know damned well
I know what I asked and you gave a very clear answer
Next level of Orcka29
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
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
Is this BM vs the rending blessing for shield?
BM is for horde clear
BM is too strong and needs changes
He’s dodging question. 
Yup
The cat pfp want bm nerf
You say that about everything when clearly I do
this is the damage distribution for the slab shield heavy 1 against unarmored, flak, maniac, and infested
How does BM distribute cleave damage
it doesn't,
This all spurred from me saying Power Sword is boring
Now don't make me answer the question for you
It isn't
this is false
@orchid nova do you main slab shield everyday?
How does BM interact with hit mass
it fucking is
You can at the very least answer that
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
Because if u don’t understand how BM works then you cannot argue that it doesn’t need to get nerfed
just because one is different
I'll be with you in a moment,
If you kill the first target hit, the second target is treated as the first.
Now
BM is x0 multiplier to hitmass if weakspot hit kill (up to 4 enemies)
So the cat pfp is stubborn now
What happens to the 5th enemy
It stop the cleave
And yet first target multipliers are applied to it
I’m not stubborn, I’m asking him what he knows
Cole loyalist backing up posting damage distribution
x0 mass on target = does not consume any cleave = apply first target
Did you use the shield before it was buffed?
And the effective difference with what I said is?
Bm arguement
Did you know that getting to 1 hit 3 horde enemies after BM nerf would still be good?
Hehe
yes
but 2 would be overkill
Because shield’s damage profile is high enough for that even if BM was nerfed to 2 targets
at 2 i would probably go with headtaker + decimator on tax
and would skip combat axes
There is 0 ambiguity on this. No nerfs to shield.
I am not losing it again.
How many default Cleave on body mass without bm? 3-5 bodies?
you can just
use another blessing
and get the benefit from that blessing
have you considered the possibility that weapons can be baseline buffed
And have a useless shield
you cant on combat axes since they just have 0 base cleave like
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
Yes, which is what I brought up
like weapons shouldnt be designed with a specific blessing in mind as mandatory
Good for heavy sword
that is bad design
it could be okay, but we'l need to test that
so trying to make it so is advocating for poorly designed weapons
buffing base cleave + nerfing BM could work
Im looking for shield club answer
So, are you actually insane enough to demand every blessing be nerfed to the level of Bash
Never said that
I think ~5 cleave for combat axe is fair
Light swing
5 cleave is 2 Dreg rager/both gunner
thats about 3 poxwalkers
since it would be boosted with headtaker, would be okay i guess
Yea, plus +strength blessings (and potentially BM)
heh.. happens naturally,,
and its cleave profile would actually get to see the light of day for once
caxe lights is 1.5 yes
I think it’d be at least interesting that u could consider forgoing BM for more direct single target damage
Good luck.
Fatshark's been obessed with keeping axes single target since vermintide lmao
thats the same as tactical axe lights which come out like 3x as fast
Instead of this 1.5 cleave that hits nothing that BM can’t kill through
Aaaargh how many bodies a club shield can cleave through pox/groan without bm?
Yea, it sucks
Agreed
ogryn shield lights have 8.75 cleave, h1 has 13.1
VT2 weapon balance is really bad, partially because they added Cata (difficulty) later and it messed up a lot of things (aka breakpoints)
Ah so then 8 bodies cleave on light attack, thank you.
thats not what that means
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
thats its budget
Also just because a lot of weapons are genuinely badly designed
can prob crank up the second target damage and keep the cleave low on axes
a poxwalker has 1.5 hitmass
Greatsword for one
cases do seem to actually have a non default finesse value defined for their second target
And the DLC weapons powercreep so hard a lot of the base game weapons are genuinely unusable
but before nerfing bm, i guess they should do something with underdogs
aka autopistol
it also depends on the target
ogryn knifes
shotgunners have a hitmass of 2
etcetc
Sword and mace being a prime culprit
And scab bruiser?
Could do this too, I wish they take both approaches and apply to different combat axe variants
Like, give Antax the higher cleave of 5 but lower damage distribution
Give Achlys’ H1 both higher cleave & better distribution
Keep Rashad’s cleave lower (~3?) but better distribution
As an example
So they differ more from each other
yeah those are some good ideas to add some differences
Rashad - exist
Antax - just shittier rashad in everything
Achlys - please for gods sake dont use this
I remember I use antax with old BM before rework I mean cleave through lot horde but deal so little damage
i could be corrected but i think theyre 2 as well
Aka bully club’s damage distribution yes pls
at least clubs can damage armor/etc
butcher knifes or whatever the name
is just horde clear
and that's it
Scab bruiser 3.5 (very high mass!)
Dreg bruiser 2.5
yeah that checks out
mk4 cleaver has fine armor performance
Its okay
you can give yourself carpal tunnel to make it better
anyway
nerf bm
buff weapons that rely entirely on bm to function so they can live with out
but still it was my old go too melee for the longest time
If u mean fine Armor damage as like
400 vs carapace weakspot per light stab and like 700 crusher dps
theyre so fun but it feals greasy to use them because of how busted they are
That’s not very good
ill have to retest them then
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
i havent played ogryn in a while because i dont hate myself
To say nothing of inherently self-defeating crap like Thunderstrike
I don’t think every single blessing being good is possible
Blessings aren't going to be balanced, some of them are genuinely just conceptually bad
But variety is possible (ex: plasma gun)
The in game chat is DOWN
i dont think those blessings should even exist until ogryn actually is viable with crits
on melee
Would I prefer it if things like Power Cycler were less auto-take?
As much as I despise that gun
i just want the DMG parts of blessings to be erased and make all of them utility
They're on vet too
or utility DPS (like 50% faster swap speed)
I CANNOT HURL MEAN REMARKS AT CHINESE PEOPLE TO DROP THEIR AMMO BOXES
its a fine example of having actual blessings you can choice between for different playstyles
Call them wanbadan
and have it still all be on par with each other
that's "wong, baah, done"
I prefer to curse them out in english
Noe 
Have different dps related blessings be different and interesting from each other
don't tell my grandpa I'm teaching people this
I am also open to using tamade
One day Decapitator (combat axe) will be good
Probably, idk
bash is ogryn only
smackdown is on clubs and knives, and literally just needs its condition of special on a staggered enemy to be viable for the knives
The cauliflower head cat
neither of those blessings should be on the cleavers and clubs
they are terrible on them
Thunderstrike is on the sword
for whatever godforsaken reason
I guess it's so you can parry and then keep staggering???
Give Ogryn’s Smackdown +60% crit chance and make Ogryn club’s minimum cleave damage high enough to 2 hit groaners & poxwalkers so u could run a cursed Smackdown + perfect strike combo with it 
i have a bone to pick with whoever put all those impact blessings on the dclaw
and not a single blessing related to parrying
Or just raise the base crit for ogryn melees to 5 or some shit lmao
their crit damage is still pretty bad tho
that 2.5 base crit is donkey nuts
What's the blessings and perks for Bolter I'm lazy as shit
@stoic thorn so you’re the mainland Chinese or Hong konger?
I like puncture and shattering impact
It’s both crit chance & finesse scaling being bad
since we're still drowning in beasts
and theyre the only class with 0 talent benefit from melee crits anywhere
Giving Parrying 100% rending would be appreciated
No I'm singaporean
Ah
Singaporean chinese
thats too overpowered
That's why I prefer to curse them out in english
based
Making DC swords’ cleave damage distribution not do 27 damage to flak Armor would be a great start
Probably they are mainland
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
Depend
Some mostly like hacker and griefer
Like rdo
DC swords’ cleave distribution is so funny
First target (unarmored): 487 damage
2nd target (flak): 32
I avoid rdo public lobby
Seriously it's like a law, if they're not hacking, they're griefing
HOWDY
the solution is prob to add decap to other, more suitable melees
Makes me ashmed to be mainlander
No they're just very fucking stupid
Oh like the society in mainlander?
w8
Haha.
this is even better
My condolences
Sorry you had to be born there
City mainlander are okay I think but never do business with mainlander cuz they do malicious shit
I think Decapitator’s bonus is interesting enough that if it had the activation condition of smth like headtaker it could be really cool
Cuz then you get strength (more cleave & stagger) vs huge finesse (more single target)
@orchid nova so you’re a Chinese
Just my opinion tho
I want to keep decap the way it is since I think it could be interesting for certain weapons
but I do want another finesse blessing
more specifically weakspot in my case
necro but i can crank out 1000 after a charge and 800 without, id say its still okay
I want uncanny to be some chained weakspot hit blessing that grants +weakspot damage
I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations
its just theres so many good options into carapace
