it fires so quickly and it's consuming 0.25 on every single shot

tall torrent
#

No

#

Unless u run deadshot

#

Which is really just not worth running in 95% situations

slim urchin
#

assuming uou have the frit ammo talent more ammo more dps

tall torrent
#

Due to crit string behaviour, %crit chance is more than u think

slim urchin
#

i assume you use shock trooper too

#

then crit chance surely is the play

ripe totem
#

I do

#

however I don't really run out of too much ammo

vapid nacelle
#

does reciprocity proc on dodging bullets btw

ripe totem
#

yeah

vapid nacelle
#

cool

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t proc from gunner & reaper shots

vapid nacelle
#

can I push this hypothetical walking death star build purely for recon damage further, at least realistically

tall torrent
#

Why do u need skirmisher

ocean idol
#

wait, infernus without headhunter?

vapid nacelle
#

I forget by name

tall torrent
ripe totem
#

bottom right

#

run you get 5% damage

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

oh the sprint damage boost?

tall torrent
#

It’s really bad

vapid nacelle
#

just because there's nothing else that gave that much of a damage buff

#

lmao

vapid nacelle
#

not because it's good

tall torrent
#

Nah it’s genuinely awful

ripe totem
#

if fatshark made it so it'd work off a slide

#

then it'd be nice

#

but it doesn't

tall torrent
#

Tested with power DI

vapid nacelle
tall torrent
#

You decide if 5% more crit from a blessing is worth taking

ripe totem
vapid nacelle
#

like within the first second you're unloading into a bulky target you've probably gotten the 3 critical shots you need for max infernus

ripe totem
#

better to just spray into their chests and aim a little bit up if you want heads

tall torrent
#

It needs to be able to stack from any movement

vapid nacelle
#

I think that might be a little too strong

#

free 25% damage from doing anything

tall torrent
#

Can be lower damage

#

Make it like 3%/stack

#

But it needs to stack from any movement

vapid nacelle
#

15% from doing anything

tall torrent
#

I don’t mind if it stacks slower

ripe totem
#

tried that, felt really bad

#

I think the las main gimmick is just it shoots really fast and crits really fast

tall torrent
ripe totem
#

otherwise you'd use another weapon really

vapid nacelle
#

alright time to drag this likely awful build into auric mael

#

worst case scenario, in shovel I trust

#

oh god I just realized I have no grenade recovery.

#

this is gonna go well

tall torrent
#

Drop skirmisher for grenade regen ez

#

U could even drop onslaught

vapid nacelle
#

I am not dropping onslaught because shooting crushers to death is funny

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

even though I have a shovel fo those anyway

tall torrent
#

You have to sprint a full second to stack it once

tall torrent
#

If u sprint 0.95s and slide

#

You don’t get stack

vapid nacelle
#

I should record this match and go through it and see how much of the game it's active lol

tall torrent
#

You need to sprint another full second to stack it

vapid nacelle
#

don't get me wrong I fully believe you when you say it's bad

#

however biggest number

#

at all costs

tall torrent
ocean idol
#

Error 3001 slowly driving me insane

vapid nacelle
#

definitely not

ocean idol
#

fguckn hamster running servers

vapid nacelle
#

this is definitely not realistic but I killed it before skirmisher expired

tall torrent
#

Peak psyker gameplan

vapid nacelle
#

oh god you're right this is just gunpsyker with a different coat of paint

#

and a shovel

sudden elm
#

is helbore's stab do more damage to the meaty

tall torrent
sudden elm
#

well other weapons that stab

tall torrent
#

What are the other weapons in question

sudden elm
#

i cleared a big horde jsut spamming special

tall torrent
#

Oh no don’t bother

vapid nacelle
#

alright I will return once I throw this match with this build 👍

tall torrent
#

Helbore bayonet’s cleave distribution is horrible

#

It’s basically only for single target

sudden elm
#

it feels like a shittier version of the billhook zealot has on vt2

sudden elm
vapid nacelle
#

lights out smelter complex

#

:(

tall torrent
sudden elm
#

unless you mean for damage

#

eh stagger is stagger

tall torrent
#

Cleave is quite low for horde as well

sudden elm
#

damage doesnt mean anything if your deny there rights to move

tall torrent
#

Only 3

#

And it’s not like you stagger everything in front of u

sudden elm
#

thats how everything works

#

you dotn stagger everything infront of you

#

knowing very well thats not even what you mean

tall torrent
#

I don’t know what weapon you’re comparing to in terms of horde clear

#

Duelling sword?

sudden elm
#

what no

#

ig i worded it as if i was comparing it

#

i do need a actual horde clearer since im using helbore for special and elite sniping

narrow frost
#

rachad my beloved

sudden elm
#

and i think i might do duelling

#

pov the only dueling swords i kept that were worth it and they aint even worth it

#

well actualy

#

the right one is better of the two

#

kinda

hollow ibex
#

both are a waste of resources

sudden elm
#

yeah ik

#

but i need something to protect myself

#

and unless i go knife sicne thats what im used to duelling sword is the other option

hollow ibex
#

invest in a dclaw or shock maul

sudden elm
#

im lv 10

#

so rn im special and elite sniping and focusing on gettign ranged damage up for now

tall torrent
#

Oh

sudden elm
#

using a hellbore

tall torrent
#

Uh, use a horde clear melee

#

Knife and duelling sword aren’t really for horde clear

sudden elm
#

right im used to using knife with zealot

#

veteren cant really dodge and weave as easily

tall torrent
#

I can give u an easy comparison

sudden elm
#

im using helbore 4

tall torrent
#

Veteran knife needs the highest talent investment into melee compared to every other melee weapon

#

If u want to use it as a proper melee weapon, instead of smth u just run around with

sudden elm
#

devil's claw

tall torrent
#

Suck vs flak

sudden elm
#

i parry way to much anyways with devils claw if im using

tall torrent
#

They have similar base dodge stats

#

It’s only different when zealot has IJ stacks up

sudden elm
tall torrent
#

Dodge distance & speed is more weapon dependent

#

And dodge amount

sudden elm
#

juts gimmmie a good melee for a gun im using almsot soly for special and elite sniping

tall torrent
#

Chainsword?

sudden elm
#

that can deal with hordes

tall torrent
#

You have too few talent points to even be considering full builds rn

tall torrent
#

Or heavy sword tbh

sudden elm
#

i like knowing what i needa get

tall torrent
#

Heavy sword is better

sudden elm
#

i just sac'd a very good heavy sword

drowsy aspen
#

Heavy Sword rules

sudden elm
#

how do i use heavy sword

drowsy aspen
#

That weapon is crazy

tall torrent
#

Deathblow blessing

drowsy aspen
#

When you can get the Mk... 9

#

That one might be the best

#

That one opens with a big overhead and from thereon does big sweeps

sudden elm
#

how do i use it

drowsy aspen
#

Spam heavies for hordes

#

Then alternate the special and the first heavy attack for tougher targets

sudden elm
#

visible pain why is si first target the dump stat i want that damage stat gone

drowsy aspen
#

You won't do much to Carapace

sudden elm
#

eh im special sniping

#

i pew pew them

drowsy aspen
#

Ye that's a good way to do it

hollow ibex
#

defenses is the dump stat, so scrap

tall torrent
#

Cuz if u have no resources whatsoever

#

And you just need to lvl up

#

It’s usable

hollow ibex
#

oh yeah if you're not 30 yet then it doesn't really matter lol

sudden elm
#

im just poor on cash i had to level up my thunder hammer on zealot to 500 power

#

and a few weapons on ogryn

tall torrent
#

Use it for levelling up

#

Scrap when you’re high enough lvl

sudden elm
#

whats the dump stat for horde clearing focused heavy sword

tall torrent
#

Defences

sudden elm
#

a im blind as shit

tall torrent
#

Heavy sword only has 1 dump stat and it’s defences

sudden elm
#

im used to seeing anything but defense on weapons

#

fyi im an ogryn main not a veteren idk if you couldnt tell

austere mica
#

It’s still defenses on ogryn as well

vapid nacelle
outer igloo
#

I will walk 2 hours to the Fatshark offices and sit there and beg for the veteran class to get a hellgun. God, the hellgun is just so fucking cool

austere mica
vapid nacelle
#

heavy sword is a horde clear weapon isnt it

outer igloo
#

I don't fucking know, I just want them. Like a little child wishing for the impossible

drowsy aspen
vapid nacelle
#

I just need it for horde clear for this build

drowsy aspen
#

Deathblow + Headtaker gets you an absolutely beastly weapon

#

I used to run rending on it, but people seem to think that's just okay :/

errant carbon
drowsy aspen
#

Which is sad

errant carbon
#

They also don't necessarily need to have a backpack ammo supply, at least if the Dark Heresy RPG line is anything to go by.

remote sonnet
#

There is a more common weapon in the Guards that I would like to see before we get bigger and rare stuff, like the grenade launcher.

ripe totem
#

ok so the crit damage actually feels better than maniac damage

#

just because crit damage seems to work on everyone and you crit like crazy anyway

errant carbon
ripe totem
#

I think it also makes infernus procs do more

errant carbon
#

But yeah, a Grenade Launcher would be neat. And the Melta Gun of course. How many of these things have existed in the game files since launch?

remote sonnet
#

Long barrel DB shotgun

#

Like basic skin are based around base weapon mark/model. Brunt shotgun skin remodel it into long barrel, so that version is planned somewhere.

tall torrent
#

Because of how crit finesse bonuses are calculated

white minnow
#

and +25% dmg v.s. armor perks are better than expected because they go into their own bin and are multiplicative against the usual damage buffs

fading yarrow
#

I am so mad right now

#

AuDamn Maelstrom Comms-Plex

#

We had a guy who kept running around and getting himself trapped

#

He did again then left

#

Then I got kicked for NO REASON when we were right at the end of the mission

tall torrent
white minnow
#

damn

#

should've cross checked what crab told me then

tall torrent
#

Damage vs armor
Damage vs enemy group
Damage
Close damage

#

Are all additive

merry coral
#

brother what are you doing in auric mal

#

Gotta be the worst team I ever had, Hunting grounds, they kept running around solo and get downed my dogs again and again

white minnow
#

it seems pretty multiplicative to me, testing w/ sustained assault on zealot and comparing w/ +carapace and w/o +carapace against a crusher
493 damage w/o +carapace on a particular attack w/ sustained up (and whatever unconditional damage nodes i've taken). No keystone or any other conditional damage talent to fuddle with the results.
and 616 w/ carapace

#

616/493 is 1.2494... or approx 1.25

tall torrent
#

Imma check in a bit

orchid hemlock
#

@narrow frost we have come full circle 😔

steady wolf
#

Do bleed ticks still apply Onslaught stacks?

tall torrent
#

I think +damage vs enemy group is additive though

#

Gonna check +10% elite

steady wolf
#

nvm

#

FUCK

white minnow
#

+10% elite should be additive (blame crab if i'm wrong)

tall torrent
#

Yea elite is additive

#

So damage vs armor is the only multiplicative part

white minnow
#

really makes you think

serene bough
#

what a legend

tall torrent
remote sonnet
#

I'm running some guns with +damage vs manic because they are way more annoying than crusher/mauler.

vapid nacelle
#

@tall torrent I tried to hold onto it for the memes but skirmisher really does suck :(

vapid nacelle
#

on another note

#

this run happened the run AFTER I got rid of skirmisher lmao

#

it's a clear sign

serene bough
#

you unironically used skirmisher?

tall torrent
serene bough
#

thats crazy

steady wolf
#

10% melee speed is always better than skirmisher?

vapid nacelle
serene bough
#

yeah, absolutely

vapid nacelle
#

it was not worth it

merry coral
#

I just came across a vet with plasma and marksman focus

#

I'm confused

#

and onslaught

vapid nacelle
#

it was neat

#

but back to shovel because I felt the lack of stagger

merry coral
#

I eally love the heavy sword but boy it struggles ugainst crushers

vapid nacelle
#

this build has no issue with crushers which is why I used it

#

but I got caught in a bad situation

#

and even though I got out of it

#

I didn't realize just how survivable things were with the shovel until I dropped it for a moment

merry coral
#

Which mark are you using btw ?

#

the shovel, I mean

vapid nacelle
#

1

merry coral
#

Hmm, I never used it

vapid nacelle
#

it's the veteran holy grail in my book

remote sonnet
#

It is my main melee for Vet

#

It is like combat axe, but somewhat faster

vapid nacelle
#

any weapon that I can get away with having 80% mobility is gonna be great to me but Mk I shovel is so, so good

remote sonnet
#

The mk1 special is very quick and stag the enemy, unlike most weapons.

vapid nacelle
#

the comfy moveset, the horde stagger, the ability to stagger ragers maulers and crushers

fiery ledge
#

Ok so has anyone a good auric build i need ine

vapid nacelle
remote sonnet
#

The special is almost instantaneous

vapid nacelle
#

like do you care what style of play it is

#

or are you just looking for an auric ready build

fiery ledge
#

Amd i use shock maul but am happy to change it up if that helps

vapid nacelle
#

okay so just a good general use reconlas build

fiery ledge
vapid nacelle
#

this is what I have for recon at the moment, using Mk 1 Shovel

fiery ledge
#

But yeah

vapid nacelle
#

if you want more durability in exchange for less psychopath glass cannon

#

drop executioner's stance and opening salvo for shout and gold toughness on shout

fiery ledge
vapid nacelle
#

shock maul probably works ok too if you like using it

#

just make sure your melee can handle hordes in a pinch and the melee's probably fine

#

infernus and dumdum on recon is good

fiery ledge
vapid nacelle
#

Mk 1 shovel is just a really good weapon

#

It does everything you really need in a melee and more

#

It has good horde clear and control thanks to its stagger, it has rager mauler and crusher stagger and good damage into the latter 2, it has good maniac damage, it's got alright attack speed, it's a weapon that has both Mobility and Defences so you can keep 80% Mobility which is amazing, you really just can't go wrong with it

fiery ledge
vapid nacelle
#

Curios are going to be preferential in the end

#

I don't recommend my exact curio setup if you're just getting into aurics or are still relatively newer/casual to the game as a whole

#

but if you want it it's 2x toughness 1x stamina, with 3 combat ability regen, 3 stamina regen, 2 sprint efficiency and 1 +5% HP to avoid getting 2 shot by poxbursters

fiery ledge
#

Ahh gotcha

vapid nacelle
#

but that said

#

if you're newer or more on the casual side

vapid nacelle
#

you probably want to consider dropping some stamina or sprint for gunner resistance or whatever else it is people prefer

#

what else is it

#

sniper resist, tough %

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

I forget

vapid nacelle
#

works good for me

tall torrent
#

You can only stagger with special attack which only hits 1 rager

#

Heavy attacks can’t break combo without +stagger blessings

vapid nacelle
#

well I know that's definitely not true, I stagger ragers with heavy head shot all the time lol

tall torrent
#

That’s just not true

vapid nacelle
#

Idk what to tell you then

#

I've had no issues heavy staggering ragers in actual matches

tall torrent
#

It just doesn’t work

#

You cannot break an active combo

#

You can stagger if they’re not in a combo

scenic oracle
#

Test it in psykanium

tall torrent
#

I tested it, that’s why I know lol

vapid nacelle
#

oh no I trust your judgment but I'm confused

tall torrent
scenic oracle
#

Another reason to play ogryn is that he can stagger ragers no problem

vapid nacelle
#

because I have no issues staggering ragers mid combo with it for whatever reason

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

oh wait

#

It might be because of Decimator stacks

tall torrent
#

That sucks

vapid nacelle
#

how

#

I have that come into play all the time

severe gale
#

i think he’s saying decimator sucks

#

which

#

idk

#

decimator is plenty fine

vapid nacelle
#

Decimator sucks on the shovel???

#

???????????

#

WHAT

tall torrent
#

Decimator is awful, in general

vapid nacelle
#

it's a shovel

tall torrent
#

It’s just that shovel has no better choices

#

So you’re forced into using it

vapid nacelle
#

I mean yeah I can't argue with that

#

if it were headtaker I'd definitely be taking that over it

#

but like

#

I don't think Decimator sucks at all, it's perfectly usable, there's just other blessings that would outclass it if it were to have access to them

severe gale
#

shovel should get hsword headtaker

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

at the very least the Decimator description being a lie is a good thing

tall torrent
#

It stacks slow, drops stacks if u miss and has the shortest duration

#

Let’s say you need 5 decimator stacks to have enough +strength to break rager combo

#

That’s 5 attacks done beforehand to give u the stacks

vapid nacelle
#

and that's gonna be context dependent

tall torrent
#

Yea

vapid nacelle
#

so that's gonna be a blurry argument tbh

tall torrent
#

It’s just not really reliable

vapid nacelle
#

I already know how that plays out

tall torrent
#

Hence it sucks

vapid nacelle
#

but also like if there's a pack of ragers

#

I should probably be shooting them and not shoveling them

#

which I usually am lol

#

but still

tall torrent
#

There’re a lot of misconceptions about shovel

vapid nacelle
#

it still feels amazing to use lol

tall torrent
#

For one the horde clear is not that good

#

Secondly you don’t get to reliably stagger more than 1 rager

#

Veteran doesn’t have grievous wounds

#

It’s also got generally low finesse

vapid nacelle
#

It doesn't have to be power sword levels of horde clear to be good though

#

not that I'd ever use that sword

#

bleh

hollow ibex
vapid nacelle
#

how good is good horde clear

tall torrent
#

I think <12s for 50 poxwalkers is good horde clear

#

In a meat grinder test

#

If you cannot kill them fast enough when they’re literally stacked on top of each other, you’d only get slower when they’re more spread out

vapid nacelle
#

I can agree with that

#

Alright then, it's alright horde clear

tall torrent
#

I can excuse slower horde clear speeds

#

If they’re particularly good at fighting elites

#

Or carapace

#

Or bosses

#

Or they have really high mobility like knife

#

Shovel has none of these

vapid nacelle
#

I mean it's not great at the first two but it's far from bad at it

tall torrent
#

Shovel is at like 14.7s for 50 poxwalkers (most of which is carried by 10 stacks of decimator)

#

That is not good horde clear

#

You then look at how it does vs elites

#

Cannot stagger more than one without pre-stacked blessings that affect stagger

#

Has to burn stamina to deal good damage vs maulers & crushers

#

Below average damage to unyielding

vapid nacelle
#

wait what

#

it uses stamina on maulers and crushers?

tall torrent
#

No special move speed going on

serene bough
#

today i learned OfB replenishes THP on shredder kills, thats crazy

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

oh I just don't use that

#

didn't know I should

#

yeah I see it's stronger

#

idk I'm used to just heavying them lol

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

50%? push attack doesn't seem to swing that fast

#

hang on

#

the single target for crushers I'm guessing is just PA spam

#

or is it a specific combo

tall torrent
#

PA + light mix

vapid nacelle
#

how many lights usually

tall torrent
tall torrent
flint lake
drowsy aspen
#

You'd be a madman in that case lol

tall torrent
#

Karsolas was ~9.2s for 50 pox

#

Shield is prob 2nd fastest? I got 10.8s

vapid nacelle
# tall torrent

ah you're doing this with decimator and uncanny stacked up already

#

that's what I'm missing lol

tall torrent
#

I think it’s safe to assume 5 stack uncanny because it’s easy to stack & maintain

#

And then all ur “max potential” is with 10 decimator which is unreliable but whatever

vapid nacelle
#

Idk what exact build you have in that clip

tall torrent
#

Very standard set-up for mk1 shovel

vapid nacelle
#

but yeah I see the dps difference if it's already pre stacked

tall torrent
#

Carapace + flak
Decimator + uncanny

vapid nacelle
#

I don't have carapace on this one

#

but fair

#

Trying push attacks vs only lights in psykhanium without any preemptive stacks

#

I'm getting just over 800 dps with both

#

without focus target or carapace

tall torrent
#

I’m too lazy to change my shovel

#

But I got 1~1.3k dps on crusher

vapid nacelle
#

oh right I don't have the 10% attack speed on this build

#

I'm sure that's affecting things

tall torrent
#

You don’t really need it for shovel

#

Point is, it’s not nearly as good as people think it is

vapid nacelle
#

I can get that

#

I've kinda just chalked it up to being a good weapon that doesn't show super flashy numbers

#

and I mean

#

I guess in Darktide's current meta

#

yeah lol I can get your point for that one

tall torrent
#

It’s basically entirely carried by uncanny to “decent” status

tall torrent
drowsy aspen
vapid nacelle
#

damage wise yeah

tall torrent
#

What perk & blessing

vapid nacelle
#

I love how easy it is to survive with though for a weapon as decent as it is

tall torrent
#

No enhanced dodges or move speed

vapid nacelle
#

wdym notenhanced

#

seems like it's raising it to me

tall torrent
#

It’s very standard for melee weapons

#

You get 2% more dodge distance compared to other weapons that dump mobility

vapid nacelle
#

also

tall torrent
#

Only because you have defences to dump (which actually causes block efficiency to drop)

vapid nacelle
#

am I mistaken or

#

wasn't there a time that Shovel had 6 dodges instead of 5

tall torrent
#

Probably

#

Got nerfed KEKW_ogryn

vapid nacelle
#

😔

#

shovel didn't deserve that

tall torrent
#

I remember it having +10% dodge distance

#

Not anymore for a long time

#

So now it’s just
“Uncanny strike” one trick

vapid nacelle
#

bring it back

#

bring back shovel glory

remote sonnet
#

I think it is a good middle ground of every other melee

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

I think shock maul generally does that job better

remote sonnet
#

Shock maul is quite a bit slower

serene bough
#

i remember when the shovel had good dodge

#

after they nerfed it i stopped using entirely

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

I tried shock maul but reduced dodge distance and only 4 dodges makes me sad :(

tall torrent
#

Veteran generally has 3 kinds of builds

#
  1. Knife
  2. Rashad
  3. Can’t afford Rashad
vapid nacelle
#

what about dueling sword

tall torrent
#

That’s in the “can’t afford Rashad” category

#

Because u don’t need attack speed

#

So u can afford more points into other things

#

The 3rd category has stuff like power sword, duelling sword, heavy sword as top performers

vapid nacelle
#

with how prevalent dueling sword is I would instinctively have given it a category of its own lol

#

but ye I get you

tall torrent
#

I don’t think shovel matters much in that category

#

Cuz it’s going against:

  1. Budget Rashad
  2. Knife but better
  3. Rager blender 9000
vapid nacelle
#

I wish I could get away with max mobility on rashad

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

but the 0.18 sprint speed :(

tall torrent
#

U could run Antax

vapid nacelle
#

Antax swings slower doesn't it

#

it doesn't have Finesse

genuine question

#

is there any reason to use dueling sword 2 over 4

#

numbers wise

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

gotcha

#

not gonna lie I kind of assumed Tactical Axe would be more mobile than it is

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
#

and also the same mobility

#

actually no

#

my mistake

#

it has a whopping 5% more dodge distance

#

why does this have the same sprint speed 😭

#

why does this thing exist

#

I'm sad because I actually like it but why does this exist

austere mica
#

Taxe is a fun weapon

vapid nacelle
#

It is a ton of fun

austere mica
#

Fast and mobile

vapid nacelle
#

I have a blast whenever I use it

#

but dang I really did think it had more speed than it actually did

austere mica
#

Also innate crit chance bonus of 12% enables some serious bullshit on zealot

wild vortex
#

It definitely feels faster than Rashad

vapid nacelle
#

what are the odds fatshark put the wrong numbers for its mobility stat

tall torrent

Minuscule

A little better than shield

10.7 vs 10.9

#

I guess if u take shield in a heavy hitter build it’ll do better

#

I have FNP for shield so it’s missing 10% atk speed

drowsy aspen
#

...The knife should get the same buff tho

tall torrent
#

I did cleaver with heavy hitter

drowsy aspen
#

What makes the shield more effective over that 10%?

#

Oh!

#

Nvm then

tall torrent

I did not do shield with heavy hitter

Vigilant autogun recommendations?

midnight totem
#

All three are pretty good head poppers

civic osprey
#

Thinking Headhunter and Deadly Accurate

midnight totem
#

I prefer surgical and deadly accurate for the 3 burst

civic osprey
#

but with Headhunter you dont need to stay ADS

midnight totem
#

Headhunter and deadly for the one shot (surgical also works)

#

Yeah but if one of the three burst doesn't hit the head you lose the hh stacks

tame lodge
midnight totem
#

I personally favor headhunter and opening salvo on the one shot l

civic osprey
midnight totem
#

Opening salvo recovers almost instantly while ads

civic osprey
#

you just tap heads and it boosts your crit chance

tame lodge
#

Yeah and surgical uptime is higher if you just ads

#

Easier guaranteeing crits

civic osprey
#

i mean with the revo surgical makes sense

#

but the vig autgun has the ammo to spare

midnight totem
#

Me running crucian revolver

Marksman gives more dmg notably vs crushers & bosses, quite strong with boltgun even though it doesn't help much for breakpoints

if u don't care abt that much, could go flak + elite

rigid schooner
#

it was kinda painful leveling it

#

now i guess i just need to do mastery on plasma gun, but the only one i got has sad stats

#

and i don't have much resources to get a "proper" one nor max it

tall torrent
#

ideally u don't want to dump any but if ur broke that's prob the best to dump

#

60% charge rate feels horrible to play

rigid schooner
#

thermal resist at 69% and charge rate at 71% is meta

#

i forgor which stat i have dumped on the one i got

low vault
#

Are charged shots good on plasma? I always find myself just spamming uncharged mostly

rigid schooner
#

but for plasma gun should't you only be using LMB shots only?

#

yeah

tall torrent
low vault
#

I figured

tall torrent
#

charge rate matters because it affects the pre-fire delay on left click

low vault
#

Ah

tall torrent
#

so it directly impacts ur firerate therefore DPS

rigid schooner
tall torrent
#

ideally u'd want an 80% too but

#

this gun wants max damage, stopping power and ammo

#

all for breakpoints

#

and thermal resist below a specific value (68% + decimal) can't fire 8 shots in a row

#

so the highest u can go is around 71~72% for charge rate

rigid schooner
#

i'm actually curious, is plasma pretty much the only gun that you don't want 60/80s on?

tall torrent
#

yea

frank basin
#

it is expensive kind

rigid schooner
#

wack

tall torrent
#

it's the only gun in the game without a dump stat

low vault
#

Does charge rate still reduce damage? I feel like I remember reading that when the game came out on Xbox

tall torrent
frank basin
#

no

tall torrent
#

it's not gonna change ur breakpoints if that's what ur wondering

rigid schooner
frank basin
#

i had 60% crit bonus

#

works fine

tall torrent
#

going from 60% to 80% warp resist only gives u 1 more full charge cast with empyric resolve

#

u generate like 2% less peril per full charge cast by going 80% in warp resist

#

it doesn't really matter

rigid schooner
low vault
#

I thought surge staff was only for LMB with surge blessing

tall torrent
#

crit bonus is 5% more crit chance, it's good

rigid schooner
frank basin
#

There's 5% crit chance node give little boost

#

or aura too

low vault
#

Yeah, I usually only charge for crushers or bulwarks

tall torrent
#

yea, u can still get 5% more from crit bonus

tall torrent
#

way too strong

crit + 8 stacks of focus target tag

#

in an actual game most of the time ur hovering at 2~3 focus target stacks unless u purposefully not tag enemies

hollow ibex
#

are yellow numbers in the psyk crits? i'm confusion

tall torrent
#

uses pre-change colors

hollow ibex
#

oh that's why

frank basin
#

orange is weakspot hit

solemn niche
tall torrent
#

currently, orange = crit, yellow = weakspot
health bar mod (old colors), orange = weakspot, yellow = crit

frank basin
#

did they swap?

#

the color

hollow ibex
#

i wonder how it would do with 5 stacks

tall torrent
#

because that's just not true

frank basin
#

waiting stack build up take time while you dealing multiple ogryn enemies

hollow ibex
#

tbf the game kinda baits you into thinking that's how you're supposed to play it

solemn niche
#

I usually save my tag for when I really need it. so carapace guy when i am 1v1 or enemy that is hiding behind smoke/fire

frank basin
#

you won't 1v1 a Crusher only, you would get 1v3-4 against crusher/mauler/bulwark

#

1 crusher your other team dealt it already

#

you contribute some damage on it

solemn niche
#

mmh it's still useful for bosses

#

but ye I agree im not using it much most of the time

frank basin
#

bosses fine

hollow ibex
#

spam tagging with FT is great though

frank basin
#

maelstrom boss spawn 2 at once

hollow ibex
#

it's a constant 8% or more damage bonus

#

no way i'm giving that up

solemn niche
#

you can take the other upgrade that gives you damage when you expend stacks

#

with 8 stacks i think its 15%

frank basin
#

Redirect target?

tall torrent
#

redirect fire is 7.5%

#

8 stacks is not worth taking

hollow ibex
#

just from pinging, but yeah redirect fire is there too

solemn niche
#

1 point for 2.5 damage why would you not take

hollow ibex
#

the stuff you can't ping, you won't need the bonust damage anway, usually

solemn niche
#

what other talent is more important

frank basin
#

Something Target Down?

tall torrent
frank basin
#

if focused fire increase to 10 and faster stack gaining

tall torrent
#

if focused fire was changing each FT stack's individual bonus

#

then maybe

frank basin
#

2 stack gain per alternative

copper verge
#

what are recon lasgun dump stats and what blessings do I run on it?

tall torrent
#

if each went from x1.04 to x1.08, it'd be worth

frank basin
tall torrent
#

if u go infernus, take crit chance

#

if u go maniac, take deathspitter

tall torrent
frank basin
#

i see, that i can see why

#

changing focused fire be target take more damage instead stack?

tall torrent
#

because then 2 stacks is almost 17% more dmg (multiplicative) which would actually change breakpoints compared to rn

tall torrent
#

what is what

solemn niche
#

I read that as instead of suck XD kinda appropriate

frank basin
#

it's been like this for years now

#

what am saying the focused fire should be increase target taken more damage rather increase stack capacity

#

if that you're seeking x1.08

solemn niche
#

are you sure the extra stacks don't give you any breakpoints ? Like maybe you can replace flak for elite or something like that

tall torrent

it's quiet until you run into that one vet playing FT while having ping bound to LMB

#

what is the plasma gun dumpstat?

tall torrent
copper verge
#

damn

#

i kinda thought so

#

what preferred stat distribution does the plasma gun have?

tall torrent
errant carbon
#

If I don't feel like gambling a shitzillion dockets for that, can I just dump charge rate? I never use charged shots and it no longer affects damage right?

frank basin
#

yeah

#

if you don't care getting perfect roll stats just get 60 charge rate

tall torrent
#

charge rate 60% feels horrible I'm sorry

#

it's like playing with 50ms extra ping

copper verge
#

dont you magdump plasma anyway instead of charging

frank basin
#

that's what path prefer

tall torrent
frank basin

frank basin

yeah that

not the biggest problem

not as bad as dropping firerate

is defences the dump stat for both?

#

If Ogryns end up leaning into the single shot fire a lot more it will make them less ammo hungry vs the Twin Stubber. Maybe less Ogryns eating all the tins and packs (or worse double/triple dipping on ammo crates)

#

Idc if they get a long range precision weapon because Vet already has like 5 weapon families dedicated to that

#

Plus it might make them less reliant on someone else clearing ranged trash because the biggest thing I remember feeling while doing Ogryn/Zealot penances is how a lot of pubs just straight up ignore ranged trash

tacit sonnet

Why is building recon MK XII so hard

#

Do I want to change anything?

grand perch

seems ok

tacit sonnet
#

Any way to fit reciprocity in here?

#

I run infernus on my lasgun

grand perch
#

lets see the rest of your tree

tacit sonnet
grand perch
#

but you could always go keystoneless and switch form focus target to recip

#

most recon builds opt to do that

tacit sonnet
#

I guess

#

Was thinking about removing superiority complex

#

but base focus target gives 20% damage at most

#

While superiority is just 15% free damage

grand perch
#

also very much possible

tacit sonnet
#

Also not sure about rending strikes

grand perch
#

recons dont care much about BPs anyway

#

you already have onslaught, rending strikes on top is a bit wasteful

#

you could save points going to onslaught and replace it with rending as well. or route through exec stance and take demo team instead of 1nade/min

#

though i consider recons one of the few weapons where onsalught is actually worth it

frank ledge

#

Idk I remember my toughness being chewed to pieces while doing Ogryn unless I used short bursts for clearing ranged trash. Dodge sliding into and out of danger but if you lift your head for a second in a room of shooters the Toughness is gone

Tbh I just Bayonet the boss anyway

It's really fun and the damage isn't as bad as you might think if you just keep stabbing their face

It's to reset the combo

#

I dont want an overhead l4 in my horde clear combo

somber adder

Huh, no. According to that you reset the combo via special activation

tacit sonnet
#

But it doesn't

#

On my 2nd combo loop, my third attack is l4

frank ledge

may be outdated

special activation no longer cancels combo, on some weapons

unless you wait very briefly
