No
Unless u run deadshot
Which is really just not worth running in 95% situations
assuming uou have the frit ammo talent more ammo more dps
Due to crit string behaviour, %crit chance is more than u think
does reciprocity proc on dodging bullets btw
yeah
cool
Depends
It doesn’t proc from gunner & reaper shots
can I push this hypothetical walking death star build purely for recon damage further, at least realistically
Why do u need skirmisher
wait, infernus without headhunter?
Headhunter’s value with other crit chance talents & perks is not very high
Right side below onslaught
oh the sprint damage boost?
It’s really bad
Why?
not because it's good
Nah it’s genuinely awful
On avg it’s like 5% more crit with other crit talents & perks taken
Tested with power DI
the gun crits a bunch anyway
You decide if 5% more crit from a blessing is worth taking
I find aiming for weakspots with reconlas is just painful on average as well
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
better to just spray into their chests and aim a little bit up if you want heads
Nah that’s not enough
It needs to be able to stack from any movement
Can be lower damage
Make it like 3%/stack
But it needs to stack from any movement
15% from doing anything
I don’t mind if it stacks slower
try heavy one
tried that, felt really bad
I think the las main gimmick is just it shoots really fast and crits really fast
Is quite good and considering that you pretty much give up one/both of the big damage nodes in middle/left bottom branches, it’s balanced
otherwise you'd use another weapon really
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
but my theoretically maximum possible damage :(
I am not dropping onslaught because shooting crushers to death is funny
You should see how often skirmisher is stacked up
even though I have a shovel fo those anyway
You have to sprint a full second to stack it once
hmm
I should record this match and go through it and see how much of the game it's active lol
You need to sprint another full second to stack it
don't get me wrong I fully believe you when you say it's bad
however biggest number
at all costs

Take rending strikes then
Error 3001 slowly driving me insane
definitely not
fguckn hamster running servers
I have to keep this
this is definitely not realistic but I killed it before skirmisher expired

Peak psyker gameplan
oh god you're right this is just gunpsyker with a different coat of paint
and a shovel
is helbore's stab do more damage to the meaty
Compared to what
well other weapons that stab
What are the other weapons in question
i cleared a big horde jsut spamming special
Oh no don’t bother
alright I will return once I throw this match with this build 👍
Helbore bayonet’s cleave distribution is horrible
It’s basically only for single target
it feels like a shittier version of the billhook zealot has on vt2
not the way i felt it
u decide if losing ~80% of ur dmg after first target is good for horde clear
Cleave is quite low for horde as well
damage doesnt mean anything if your deny there rights to move
thats how everything works
you dotn stagger everything infront of you
knowing very well thats not even what you mean
I don’t know what weapon you’re comparing to in terms of horde clear
Duelling sword?
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
rachad my beloved
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
both are a waste of resources
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
invest in a dclaw or shock maul
What build do u have
im lv 10
so rn im special and elite sniping and focusing on gettign ranged damage up for now
Oh
using a hellbore
right im used to using knife with zealot
veteren cant really dodge and weave as easily
I can give u an easy comparison
im using helbore 4
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
devil's claw
Suck vs flak
i parry way to much anyways with devils claw if im using
This is not really true
They have similar base dodge stats
It’s only different when zealot has IJ stacks up
so they both have a lot of dodging perks
juts gimmmie a good melee for a gun im using almsot soly for special and elite sniping
Chainsword?
that can deal with hordes
You have too few talent points to even be considering full builds rn
i like knowing what i needa get
Heavy sword is better
i just sac'd a very good heavy sword
Heavy Sword rules
how do i use heavy sword
That weapon is crazy
Deathblow blessing
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
how do i use it
Spam heavies for hordes
Then alternate the special and the first heavy attack for tougher targets
visible pain why is si first target the dump stat i want that damage stat gone
You won't do much to Carapace
Ye that's a good way to do it
keep or scrap
defenses is the dump stat, so scrap
Are u new to Darktide
Cuz if u have no resources whatsoever
And you just need to lvl up
It’s usable
oh yeah if you're not 30 yet then it doesn't really matter lol
im just poor on cash i had to level up my thunder hammer on zealot to 500 power
and a few weapons on ogryn
whats the dump stat for horde clearing focused heavy sword
Defences
a im blind as shit
Heavy sword only has 1 dump stat and it’s defences
im used to seeing anything but defense on weapons
fyi im an ogryn main not a veteren idk if you couldnt tell
It’s still defenses on ogryn as well
the walking deathstar certainly works
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
The Backpack Problem continues
heavy sword is a horde clear weapon isnt it
I mean maybe they could just make it so backpacks are incompatible with the hellgun?
I don't fucking know, I just want them. Like a little child wishing for the impossible
Ye, but you can get good damage into anything but a Bulwark or a Crusher too
I just need it for horde clear for this build
Deathblow + Headtaker gets you an absolutely beastly weapon
I used to run rending on it, but people seem to think that's just okay :/
Hellguns are cool as fuck (see avatar) so of course GW renamed it the Hot Shot Lasgun
Which is sad
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.
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.
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
Weapon rarity in lore is no object. Brunt has access to unlimited Force Weapons after all
I think it also makes infernus procs do more
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?
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.
Nah, the value is very low
Because of how crit finesse bonuses are calculated
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
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
No? They’re the same +damage that stacks additively with other +damage buffs
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
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
Imma check in a bit
@narrow frost we have come full circle 😔
Do bleed ticks still apply Onslaught stacks?
Yea ur right, just checked
I think +damage vs enemy group is additive though
Gonna check +10% elite
+10% elite should be additive (blame crab if i'm wrong)
really makes you think
fixed, thanks for pointing it out
I'm running some guns with +damage vs manic because they are way more annoying than crusher/mauler.
@tall torrent I tried to hold onto it for the memes but skirmisher really does suck :(
Yea
on another note
this run happened the run AFTER I got rid of skirmisher lmao
it's a clear sign
you unironically used skirmisher?
only 9 material pickups?
thats crazy
10% melee speed is always better than skirmisher?
it was for the 10k boss dps recon meme
yeah, absolutely
it was not worth it
I just came across a vet with plasma and marksman focus
I'm confused
and onslaught

also was with heavy sword
it was neat
but back to shovel because I felt the lack of stagger
I eally love the heavy sword but boy it struggles ugainst crushers
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
1
Hmm, I never used it
it's the veteran holy grail in my book
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
The mk1 special is very quick and stag the enemy, unlike most weapons.
the comfy moveset, the horde stagger, the ability to stagger ragers maulers and crushers
Ok so has anyone a good auric build i need ine
sure, do you care what it is
The special is almost instantaneous
like do you care what style of play it is
or are you just looking for an auric ready build
Im currently rocking a decent lasrecon if that helps
Amd i use shock maul but am happy to change it up if that helps
okay so just a good general use reconlas build
It has infernus and dumdum( gona change this one)
this is what I have for recon at the moment, using Mk 1 Shovel
But yeah
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
Ahhh so a kreigsman with an auto las🤣
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
Yeah thats fair. Never used shovel i see everyone using ghem on damnation and the odd knife
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
What about curios?
This makes alot of sense
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
Ahh gotcha
Nah
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 %
Only staggers 1 rager, not really applicable vs waves
I forget
I'm going off my experiences so idk
works good for me
You can only stagger with special attack which only hits 1 rager
Heavy attacks can’t break combo without +stagger blessings
well I know that's definitely not true, I stagger ragers with heavy head shot all the time lol
That’s just not true
Idk what to tell you then
I've had no issues heavy staggering ragers in actual matches
It just doesn’t work
You cannot break an active combo
You can stagger if they’re not in a combo
Test it in psykanium
I tested it, that’s why I know lol
oh no I trust your judgment but I'm confused
Another reason to play ogryn is that he can stagger ragers no problem
because I have no issues staggering ragers mid combo with it for whatever reason
Try it with creature spawner
Decimator is awful, in general
it's a shovel
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
shovel should get hsword headtaker
It’s usable and that’s about it
at the very least the Decimator description being a lie is a good thing
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
and that's gonna be context dependent
Yea
so that's gonna be a blurry argument tbh
It’s just not really reliable
I already know how that plays out
Hence it sucks
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
There’re a lot of misconceptions about shovel
it still feels amazing to use lol
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
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
It’s not even close
coping but i'm really feeling it 😭
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
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
I mean it's not great at the first two but it's far from bad at it
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
No special move speed going on
today i learned OfB replenishes THP on shredder kills, thats crazy
PA
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
Oh then u just lose ~50% of ur dps vs single target

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
PA + light mix
how many lights usually
1~3
Shovel has funny BONK
For a second I thought you were talking about the Ogryn shovel
You'd be a madman in that case lol
I didn’t check ogryn shovel’s clear speed but I know the fastest is Karsolas
Karsolas was ~9.2s for 50 pox
Shield is prob 2nd fastest? I got 10.8s
ah you're doing this with decimator and uncanny stacked up already
that's what I'm missing lol
Without, PA still hits much higher
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
Idk what exact build you have in that clip
Very standard set-up for mk1 shovel
but yeah I see the dps difference if it's already pre stacked
Carapace + flak
Decimator + uncanny
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
oh right I don't have the 10% attack speed on this build
I'm sure that's affecting things
You don’t really need it for shovel
Point is, it’s not nearly as good as people think it is
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
It’s basically entirely carried by uncanny to “decent” status
For a weapon that makes “bonk” sounds it surely does very little stagger lol
Do you recall where the Mk. 4 knife stands? I know it's very very fast
damage wise yeah
I could check
What perk & blessing
I love how easy it is to survive with though for a weapon as decent as it is
It has no extra “survivability” function going on
No enhanced dodges or move speed
It’s very standard for melee weapons
You get 2% more dodge distance compared to other weapons that dump mobility
also
Only because you have defences to dump (which actually causes block efficiency to drop)
I remember it having +10% dodge distance
Not anymore for a long time
So now it’s just
“Uncanny strike” one trick
I think it is a good middle ground of every other melee
Shock maul is quite a bit slower
i remember when the shovel had good dodge
after they nerfed it i stopped using entirely
Not by much
I tried shock maul but reduced dodge distance and only 4 dodges makes me sad :(
what about dueling sword
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
with how prevalent dueling sword is I would instinctively have given it a category of its own lol
but ye I get you
I don’t think shovel matters much in that category
Cuz it’s going against:
- Budget Rashad
- Knife but better
- Rager blender 9000
I wish I could get away with max mobility on rashad
It’s only 2% dodge distance difference
but the 0.18 sprint speed :(
U could run Antax
this is like...
ah well
mainly heavy attack is notably slower
guys
light atk not much different
Rashad is lucky I enjoyed it a ton before class update and I haven't lost my like for it
why i have so hard time playing exe stance
wdym forget they never learnt it
they used to at least know that brutal momentum is good
all or nothing limbsplitter is a new low
thats Decimator
doesn't make it better
Maybe you crutched too much on voc like I did
AoN is actually quite fun
cuz it's on avg like 32% strength
it's just harder to maintain cuz u have to spam PA for it
I wish knife had AoN
Flakiak, Thrust, Slaughterer
maybe
I’ll try in a bit
I wouldn’t expect it to put up great numbers tho
yea, H2 helps horde clear
gotcha
not gonna lie I kind of assumed Tactical Axe would be more mobile than it is
It’s very funny how it has like 1/3 of the single target dps of the “slightly bigger axe”
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
Taxe is a fun weapon
It is a ton of fun
Fast and mobile
I have a blast whenever I use it
but dang I really did think it had more speed than it actually did
Also innate crit chance bonus of 12% enables some serious bullshit on zealot
It definitely feels faster than Rashad
what are the odds fatshark put the wrong numbers for its mobility stat
Minuscule
In terms of kill speed? I imagine it's pretty up there
The Mk. 4 is possessed of other virtues of course
I like those odds
So I won't go crying and throwing mine away if it's not ideal
Taxe is actually just Knife in disguise
I’ll check
It’s knife if it could cleave
something like that
Ok Ykw it’s actually pretty high
A little better than shield
Not as good as Karsolas
any second opinions on this build i have for hellbore+knife? considering dropping deadshot and shocktrooper for... something
it's the fast firing hellbore for now
honestly it feels like it barely uses any ammo
Daaang better than shield is a little unexpected
I'd take marksman and the +25 toughness instead
Surgical is enough crit on a helbore. You can drop deadshot
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
...The knife should get the same buff tho
I did cleaver with heavy hitter
I did not do shield with heavy hitter
Vigilant autogun recommendations?
All three are pretty good head poppers
Thinking Headhunter and Deadly Accurate
I prefer surgical and deadly accurate for the 3 burst
but with Headhunter you dont need to stay ADS
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
Surgical Deadly Accurate
Surgical Ghost
Surgical Opening Salvo
I personally favor headhunter and opening salvo on the one shot l
even though headhunter provides crit up front with no actual waittime
Opening salvo recovers almost instantly while ads
you just tap heads and it boosts your crit chance
Me running crucian revolver
Which Vigilant though
Not sure
Hello lads, im quite new to darktide, i still yet to have my grips on some basic unlocking and progress stuff, if there any way to unlock the coveted Kriegsman uniform and other similar cosmetics without paying?
No :(
no
Sorry, only unlocked via credit card when it's in rotation
maybe the Mk VII
Surgical Deathly then
But if you hit all 3 shots headhunter is a perma 40% crit chance minimum with no downtime
(For 3burst vigilant)
executioner recon lasgun is pretty fun
almost have it maxed now
then uhhh ill do the infantry lasgun
or helbore but i have no idea how to build a helbor
I remember like a year ago that there was a rending build with the auto gun. Is that still a thing?
Does veteran have anything similar to the Ogryn Ogrinamacon (excuse my spelling lol)
check pinned
Am I senile or does Vet not have any Talents that contribute to ability cooldown reduction?
Its just ok lol
"I survived Auric, nothing can phase me anymore!"
The four snipers about to shoot me through the wall: 
The Veteran has his clip empty in the pic lmao
on zealot it’s absurdly OP
vet can make it work pretty well too, but it loses in single target
355% ammo picked up is crazy work. over half of all the ammo the whole team used
oh wow yeah lmfao
was the chord doing the work
or his gun
lmfao
probably just held m1 with boltgun the entire mission lmao
Where the hell do you see how many % of ammo was picked up
each small is 15% and large is 50%
My rolling steel mission just cut out
ovenproof's scoreboard plugin has ammo % instead of boxes
anyone have a good bolter to copy!?
29/30
I personally would go Marksman (bottom left, red node) or Twinned Blast
heavy sword IX
flak + maniac
deathblow + headtaker
spearhead boltgun IIb
flak + maniac
pinning fire + puncture
Marksman gives more dmg notably vs crushers & bosses, quite strong with boltgun even though it doesn't help much for breakpoints
maniac gives heavy sword's H1 1-tap vs mutant weakspot without any buff
if u don't care abt that much, could go flak + elite
I dropped desperado and shock trooper for Marksman and One motion.
one motion feels much better, tbh but i've been playing with the heavy lasgun that got a completely garbage charge stat
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
dump thermal resist, it's only 1 shot's difference
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
thermal resist at 69% and charge rate at 71% is meta
i forgor which stat i have dumped on the one i got
Are charged shots good on plasma? I always find myself just spamming uncharged mostly
do not use charged shots basically ever
I figured
Ah
so it directly impacts ur firerate therefore DPS
ah, i meant to ask that lol
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
i'm actually curious, is plasma pretty much the only gun that you don't want 60/80s on?
yea
it is expensive kind
wack
it's the only gun in the game without a dump stat
Does charge rate still reduce damage? I feel like I remember reading that when the game came out on Xbox

no
they fixed it
it's not gonna change ur breakpoints if that's what ur wondering
surge staff kinda does too, but crit bonus technically isn't woth the 20% difference
nah
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
oh no it's fine with only 60%
I thought surge staff was only for LMB with surge blessing
crit bonus is 5% more crit chance, it's good
you can do that with it, but the electricity is still great
Yeah, I usually only charge for crushers or bulwarks
yea, u can still get 5% more from crit bonus
it's the cringiest playstyle in the game
way too strong
macro quell canceling ball spammer
focused target + carapace is amazing vs crushers, even weapons like catachan sword can 3 tap a crusher https://streamable.com/k3nvb9
autoaim is nice tho
Mfw no macro cancel on Xbox
and it kills most shooters gunners in one shot
I wouldn't call that a consistent performance
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
are yellow numbers in the psyk crits? i'm confusion
health bar mod
uses pre-change colors
oh that's why
orange is weakspot hit
that's kinda how you are expected to play with focused target
currently, orange = crit, yellow = weakspot
health bar mod (old colors), orange = weakspot, yellow = crit
what
still kinda impressive considering how pitiful dclaw's anti-armor is, tbf
i wonder how it would do with 5 stacks
are u telling me that purposefully refraining from tagging is how you're meant to play focus target
because that's just not true
waiting stack build up take time while you dealing multiple ogryn enemies
tbf the game kinda baits you into thinking that's how you're supposed to play it
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
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
mmh it's still useful for bosses
but ye I agree im not using it much most of the time
bosses fine
spam tagging with FT is great though
Ogryn begs to differ
maelstrom boss spawn 2 at once
you can take the other upgrade that gives you damage when you expend stacks
with 8 stacks i think its 15%
Redirect target?
just from pinging, but yeah redirect fire is there too
1 point for 2.5 damage why would you not take
the stuff you can't ping, you won't need the bonust damage anway, usually
what other talent is more important
Something Target Down?
redirect fire is 1 point for 7.5% damage
focused fire is 1 more point for 4.5% more damage (that doesn't contribute to any major breakpoint)
if focused fire increase to 10 and faster stack gaining
2 stack gain per alternative
what are recon lasgun dump stats and what blessings do I run on it?
if each went from x1.04 to x1.08, it'd be worth
and kind multiplier stats is for?
dump collateral
flak + crit chance/maniac
dum dum + infernus/deathspitter
if u go infernus, take crit chance
if u go maniac, take deathspitter
each stack's xdmg.taken value
i see, that i can see why
changing focused fire be target take more damage instead stack?
because then 2 stacks is almost 17% more dmg (multiplicative) which would actually change breakpoints compared to rn
u gotta speak normal english
what is what
I read that as instead of suck XD kinda appropriate
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
are you sure the extra stacks don't give you any breakpoints ? Like maybe you can replace flak for elite or something like that
only redirect fire really notably changes breakpoints
yea, that'd be better than the 8 stacks modifier rn
good
redirect fire quietly carrying the entire focus target keystone
it's quiet until you run into that one vet playing FT while having ping bound to LMB
what is the plasma gun dumpstat?
doesn't have one
damn
i kinda thought so
what preferred stat distribution does the plasma gun have?
80 dmg
80 stopping power
80 ammo
68~69 thermal resist (as long as u can fire 8 shots continuously starting from 0% heat)
71~72 charge rate
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?
dump thermal
charge rate 60% feels horrible I'm sorry
it's like playing with 50ms extra ping
dont you magdump plasma anyway instead of charging
that's what path prefer
yea, charge rate affects left click's pre-fire delay
then we get 7 shot reduced?
8 to 7
yeah that
update that in your guide then as you considered
Me watching as my fucking dumbass teammates not be able to deal with bursters and this leads to my death:
They don't explode on me but on my teammates which are near me
How you guys feel about Ogryn getting a sniper before you?
Bait
Where do I see how much damage a parry does
Graia vigilant is a dmr
Inspect weapon?
Same place u see dmg for normal attacks
Honestly all u need to know is that a parry weakspot with FotF can 1 tap a crusher at the cost of your stamina
Plasma + Exe stance soloes
Plasma users have small pps
For soloing or havin small pp
frankly ofc it's top tier, deletes everything and all, at first the power fantasy is strong but yeah it becomes boring quickly
knife + revolver WS is, on the other hand, so much fun
I use it with haymaker of all things
Bolt pistol grenadier build the most fun I've had in a while
You know, I should try
between heavy sword and crusher which is usually better, and which is more fun?
is defences the dump stat for both?
Yes
Crusher has a lot of variety for itself so if that's something that attracts you to the weapon, go for kt.
If you have funds try both
Vet Crusher nani?
Heavy sword was unique to zealot. To ofcourse it works
I thought you could habve been talking about the mini crusher, aka shock maul
yes i meant the whole ass crusher lol
big pp crusher
yeesh
What sniper?
Heavy stubber
New Stubber on Dec 3rd will have one accrate shot for it's braced attack.
That one shotgun has pretty much sniper shot
But now ogryn will have proper precision weapon
And a torchlight
Let them have it, it's long overdue imo
I mean they really need more weapons
Especially we nees more guns
Because there is only so many sidearms you can try and still go back to kickback
Right
Name checks out 
I should've asked the ogryn named haktuah to spit on my cadian soil
sniper
looks inside
Big mg

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
seems ok
lets see the rest of your tree
but you could always go keystoneless and switch form focus target to recip
most recon builds opt to do that
I guess
Was thinking about removing superiority complex
but base focus target gives 20% damage at most
While superiority is just 15% free damage
also very much possible
Also not sure about rending strikes
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
You regen too much toughness as glugger to care
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
I just
braze
press f
face tank anything aslong as I keep firing
boss? 5 heavy gunners? don't matter
Yeah but then you drink your ammo fast
80% mobility krourk IV
I was very aware of thirsty ammo Ogryns from maining Vet and didn't want to be like them
So I was much more careful about when to go full auto
Weird thought
Do you think the new stubber for Ogryn will have bad ADMs vs armour
No idea, best ask Hank
you could ask this to any other class but veteran
veteran has like
6 diff snipers
But no one else would care about sniper. Shouty hit things and Spark'ead warp things.
yeah well veteran has a sniper
ogryn's fat ass is late to the party as always
just like shouty had 3 whole 2 handed weapons before ogryn got 1
Brunt was short on materials. And he needed to arm a lot of ogryns
Ogryn really needs more weapons
I've been all in on Helbore lately and it's gone surprisingly well
The awkward swap speed isn't so bad
Especially if you never switch to your melee
Yeah pretty much
Anything less than like 6 poxwalkers and I just bayonet before returning to shooting
Bayonet ragers
Bayonet muties
Bayonet hounds
Extra fun shooting Crusher faces off too
I'd assume block canceling the charge is faster than letting the animation play out to it's conclusion
No ammO? Bayonet boss
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
Shovel only comes out when I need to clear a LOT of trash
And usually if it's a mixed horde I just double shredder and return to shooting while everything is staggered and bleeding to death
It's just a fun cozy weapon
I get it now
It's to reset the combo
I dont want an overhead l4 in my horde clear combo
Huh, no. According to that you reset the combo via special activation
may be outdated
special activation no longer cancels combo, on some weapons
unless you wait very briefly
I wish it did
it used to
matters a bit for deimos as they can finally hit m2 charged
It has good boss damage and is capable of killing crushers fairly fast if your melee doesnt do that
Shotgun is not capable of killibg crushers
Agrip revolver is my sidearm for heavysword
i tried it with shovel mk7 and honestly it felt like the shovel was hard carrying the volver
Shovels are good
gonna try it out on a assail / smite psyker as a panic button
Its better on zealot
Or on weapon spec vet
prefer the single shot on zeal
Those are best use cases
VoC
Same build as all lasguns
Oh ok
You especially use hbore with exe stance
Can helbores snipe like crushers or somethin?
2 shot crits with brown one
could exe, i just run VoC to have an aoe stagger button
Surgical and weight of fire
So u have small pp
i aint a sniper, i spam that shit
still bigger than urs
mk3a bayonet goes hard
brown town gaming.
But beware brown one requires more attention to your surroundings
Yes yes yes
just shout at them
Can i have a bayonet build lol
Shout is trash
Thats not feasible
aw
lmao its a meme setup, no keystones
And even if you wan bayonet build you gotta use exe stance because hedshot bonuses
Something something Desperado Agile Engagement gaming
i just found out serrated blade works on the bayonet stab
