What psykers are you guys mainly seeing in havoc btw

Smite? BB?

just curious

idk who was responsible or why but someone was like "I came here to add sound cues to EVERYTHING" so like every single event in this game goes 'click' 'hiss' 'whirr' or 'bzoot' or something

You get a square “ring” to vaguely have an idea of where your shots are going at close range

I just wish they knew like you need to have a rear sight as well as a front sight...

I mean yes you can just look down the rail, but, ideally you have a matching tritium rear sight so you can like line it up properly

which of the recon lasguns are the best?

tall torrent
# stiff vector which of the recon lasguns are the best?

All 3 are ok, they do different things

XIV has best TTK vs specialists with highest damage per shot, but worst firing uptime

VIc balances firerate & damage

XII fires the fastest (which synergizes with Onslaught talent) but has the least damage, worst reload speed & draw speed

stiff vector
#

hmm noted. i wanted to know cuz i need to clear an auric melstrom to do the new update missions. and i went further with a XII than i did with a XIV. even though before i felt the XIV was better (though iw as doing it on difficulty 4 before instead of 5)

It really depends on your build and blessing applied.

On a weapon that cares about 1 shot breakpoints and needs specific talents for breakpoints (like plasma gun) focus target is the way to go

And new players don't swap often enough to use WS imo (this used to be a big assumption until I see some pun malice plays)

You get the same result with fire team + 10% melee damage node on top right

Except you also get agile engagement which is way better

And mainly using your recon is a bad idea.

If I had to play a mainly ranged recon build I’d drop WS pathing and take a duelling sword or smth

uncut pebble

Lmao.

tall torrent
#

In which case I still wouldn’t take onslaught

That's valid but ew vet ds.

do you really use puncture or lethal prox instead of surgical on boltpistol?

You basically don’t run out of ammo and can spray for as long as u need

the struggle

i need to build this new sword better

stiff vector
#

also do curio buffs stack? so if i get gunner resistance and another with gunner resistance?

sleek garden
#

yes but it will be less effective

stiff vector
#

noted

sleek garden
#

because it is multiplicative

#

i forgot how to do math though

austere mica
#

The math looks like 1 x .8 x .8 x .8

#

So it rounds out to around 50%

#

Instead of 60

#

If you take three perks

stiff vector
#

thanks

uncut pebble
#

100% x .8 (20% resist) = 80%
80% x .8 = 64%
64% x .8 = 51.2%

#

You get the most bang for your buck only doing 2 resists.

austere mica
#

I disregard this and take 3 anyway

#

Fuck gunners

Do as you will, they're your curios.

so no gunner resist for me

Are those numbers only for Damage Resistance or does it apply to all curio stats?

Like say Ability Cooldown

Here's a random question...
What if...you didn't have a keystone?

quartz leaf
#

Where is the big power sword? Is it just heavy sword or is it a mk of power sword

cyan verge

yeah people have said this before, like "lol what if no keystone" but I think at the very least focus target or weapons specialist are good

vague charm
#

What are some good perks for the las pistols?

swift river
#

Is it...possible

cyan verge
#

idk ask path but I think he said recently like "don't skip a keystone"

swift river
#

I want...to experiment

tall torrent
#

But usually they have significant value behind them

cyan verge
#

oh for skipping marksman

#

that would make sense at least

sleek garden
#

dont take a keystone and grab all the grenade talents instead

I'm gonna run a game doing an experimental build... And I will let ya'll know how it goes 😄

80% is stat cap

mossy minnow

well, I saw a video where someone had like...74/80 grey from the store, upgrading rarity to 500 EDIT: rarity to yellow/legendary not 500 pushed it to 80

that's what i'm getting at

clever hedge
#

Ya, the second stat is what it will become at 500 at the latest

#

Stats all upgrade as you raise power level

mossy minnow
#

gotcha- so should i be blowing money til i get 80/80/80/80/60 then upgrade or just in the neighborhood?

clever hedge
#

Rarity effects amount of blessing and perks

#

Depends on difficulty

#

If you just regrinding and get back in do what you want

Then when breaking into auric and havoc stats get way more important

Why not infiltrate

That just means it’s inconsistently playable

Being inconsistant means it's kinda not playable in some sense?

Make 2 laspistols

Dueling Sword

Axe is very common for imperial guard melee combat

Heavily depends on role

Heavy Sword 9 you could use

Rashad is just

There is no problem the Rashad cannot solve

placid portal

yes, but it won't

#

it has more important things to do

placid portal
tall torrent
#

Proper Rashad kit kills crushers & maulers in 3~4 hits (instead of 2~3) depending on crits in havoc scaling

viral swallow
#

like onetapping entire columns of ragers

tall torrent

Which is really fucking good in a mode where a duelling sword may take 5

viral swallow

give them the big bonk

Wait didnt know rashad can 1 shot ragers?
Thought it has kinda meh finesse for weakpoints

tall torrent
#

Ragers have up to 3k health

placid portal
#

Clearly someone was lying KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Rashad takes like 5 light atks for Dreg rager

#

At max scaling

#

If u crit / have PA mixed in it’s more like 4

#

For scab rager it’s 3~4 depending on crits & PA but scab rager has much higher mass so u only stagger one at a time

placid portal
#

Would chainaxe hold up 🧐

tall torrent

Unlike Dreg rager where u can stagger 3 at a time

tall torrent
viral swallow
#

isn't the overhead chop way better for scabs than light spam?

placid portal
#

Welp one way to find out

tall torrent
#

The unfortunate reality is that there’re way more elite spawns than you’re probably used to

#

And Moebian 21st modifier is a thing

tall torrent
#

I’ll put it this way

#

At max scaling

#

A single poxwalker has 4 mass

#

Your chainaxe heavy attack gets to hit 2 poxwalkers

#

And you’re done

viral swallow
#

that's a thick boy

tall torrent
#

Getting max headtaker & slaughterer stacks only allows u to hit 4

#

If u do not have brutal momentum or dedicated cleave blessings

#

You’re simply not cleaving shit

placid portal
#

+9 stamina it is Guarded

tall torrent

If you don’t build enough health

#

Getting hit by a single Poxburster/sniper instantly downs you in 1 hit

If you're below lvl 30 you don't need a build yet

I’m already

runic axle

What do you want to build around

Like, a weapon or a skill

grim oriole
#

I like the boltgun and recon lasgun but I don’t know which melee is the best

runic axle
#

Boltgun is pretty good. Best melees are Dueling Sword, Power Sword Mk6 and Rashad Combat Axe.

#

But if you want a build, like actually something decent, then you need to max the mastery with a weapon so that you can pick the needed blessings for it yourself.

grim oriole
#

What blessings are good?

runic axle
#

Depends on a weapon, a lot of them have different ones

#

For the dueling sword I can't say much because I don't have it built properly, but gimme a second to log into the game, I'll get the screens of the power sword and rashad

What side is the melee side

true umbra
#

Top 3 ranged weapons? (Personal preferences)

hollow warren
#

Although you don't need to go full right side for the pure melee build

#

75% goes in the middle, the last 25% are all over the place, with the keystone being Weapon's Expert

true umbra
#

Of an overall build how essential are the weapon blessings?

remote sonnet
#

If you want to do well in higher difficulty, it is a big boost.

#

Many of blessing can lead a weapon from 3-4 hits an enemy to 1-2 hits.

frail skiff
#

What would people think of Chink in their armour if instead of the flat 10% it was 4% rending per stack of MF? That way you could have 40% at 10 stacks and 60 at 15 if you take LRA.

true umbra
remote sonnet
#

That's a long answer

true umbra
#

I know. It was more or less a joke

#

I’ve been able to finish all the content I’ve wanted to finish with the game. I just don’t really understand the weapon crafting system

remote sonnet
#

Like, people can run auric mael with a knife and almost never use gun.

true umbra
#

In my case, I almost never use the melee weapon

frail skiff
#

What are you using?

true umbra
#

I was straight maining the plasma gun

frail skiff
#

Oh

true umbra
#

It was probably a 70-30 split

#

But I’m always killing back line enemies

remote sonnet
#

I hate to say, but it sounds like you get carried...

frail skiff
#

Yeah...

true umbra
remote sonnet
#

No shame though, everyone gets that once in a while when they want to have some fun build.

frail skiff
#

What melee do you carry?

true umbra
#

Shovel or chain sword

frail skiff
#

If you want a good all around, then Rashad Axe has your back

true umbra
#

I think I have more or less copied the “team leader” build that is the most popular build on the build website

remote sonnet
#

So it is easier to run some build.

true umbra
#

But also, I’m reasonably good at all shooters.

I feel like being able to dodge and kill priority targets is universal in coop shooters and the more nuances of the game are required with randoms who are genuinely bad

frail skiff
#

But still

#

Melee is essential

true umbra
#

For sure

#

You can’t block with the rifle.

remote sonnet
#

If you play public games with random, you need to be self sufficient, which will not happen if you don't use melee 80% of the game.

velvet dawn
#

Wrong chat sorry

true umbra
frail skiff
#

For reference

#

What do your friends bring in terms of classes

true umbra
#

Zealot, and Psyker

#

Almost no one ever uses ogryn

#

I also have 300 hours as just veteran

#

Maybe I should try another class..

frail skiff
#

I think I'm sitting at close to 450 hours?

#

So don't worry about it

remote sonnet
#

Just try public games and you will find yourself a different experience

frail skiff
#

Yeah

true umbra
#

I mean, a lot of hours doesn’t mean I’m good at the game though.

remote sonnet
#

It's then you need blessings and other things to keep yourself alive

true umbra
#

Most of my hours were in year 1 when you essentially gained nothing for playing past level 30

#

I don’t play this much anymore, but I’d like to try and play it more

#

But I also have 600 hours on verm 2, so I understand how to “play” these games

#

But I don’t understand the builds at all

frail skiff
#

Well, doesn't help that the build system between VT2 And DT are night and day

true umbra
#

Essentially

#

And I’ve always played these games in a group. So I’ve never deviated from one or two classes

frail skiff
#

You might want to try randoms every now and then and get a feel for it, because schedules never line up. Most folks are friendly. Just don't look like you're actively hampering the team and you'll do fine

true umbra
#

I tried to do 3 auric maelstroms the other day alone

#

And I had a terrible experience

#

But I’m pretty sure that most people who have very low hours on the game are just strolling into it

#

I may be bad, but the people I was being queued with were significantly worse

frail skiff
#

Get more melee practice in, because depending on the AM, you would burn through all your plasma ammo before you hit a third of the way through the map

true umbra
#

I don’t quite literally only use the ranged weapon

#

I won’t shoot rank and file with the plasma rifle

#

But, I do spend a lot of time just shooting back line enemies

frail skiff
#

Even then, you will probably be taking care of the near endless waves of elites and specials

true umbra
#

But also, so many randoms in pub just stand and eat machine gunners or shot gunners. Nobody breaks LOS. Shit like that which seems universally obvious to me is what I see a lot of people die to.

#

And aside from the psyker. It would seem pretty obvious that you can’t dodge bullets.
