hell naw

charred dome
#

or it's a sword idfk

short fern
#

Flamer with ds and knives feels too safe

pastel yew
#

the heavies on the chain axe sound so fucking good

short fern
#

Eviscerator is god tier tf

tawny badger
charred dome
#

you can poke them and charge a blast into them but you can also just throw out several heavies in that time

pastel yew
#

the eviscerator is good yeah but the 1h chainsword and chain axe are like

#

varying levels of mid

#

the chainsword can get really nutty horde clear but thats about it

charred dome
#

what makes evisc better

tawny badger
#

more damage

analog yacht
#

1h chainswords are probably worst weapons in the game

crude wind
#

killing power

short fern
pastel yew
#

their horde clear is good

#

one of them at least

#

but yeah that's all they do

tawny badger
#

evis is just a straight upgrade to the chainsword imo

pastel yew
#

other weapons do that +

analog yacht
#

so is heavy sword, except that doesn't give up literally everything to do it

pastel yew
#

all of the best melee weapons just do literally everything

charred dome
#

okay so I'm looking at it

#

it IMMOBILIZES you?

pastel yew
#

heavy sword is trash into armor ig

#

is the trade off

tawny badger
pastel yew
#

heavy swords are goated tho

analog yacht
#

so is cs

pastel yew
#

also you can dodge and hit while dodging you effectively cut the immobalisation down

charred dome
#

yeah but the second you actually hit something with the attack you have their 3 mauler/crusher pals doing overheads

short fern
pastel yew
#

the real awful thing is that the chain weapons work as a burst

#

so they do 0 damage unless you complete the animation

tawny badger
#

that’s why you gotta be mindful to not rev attack into a team of maulers/crushers

charred dome
#

like I'd spend more time sawing them, revving it up and repeating than just throwing out heavies it feels like

pastel yew
#

they're just funky force swords and its the worst

stoic thorn
pastel yew
#

the chain weapons might be mid but

#

they got drip factor

tawny badger
#

they’re fun

stoic thorn
#

I'm John Cadia

analog yacht
#

yeah i mean fs has a habit of making the coolest weapons the worst ones

tawny badger
inland orchid
stoic thorn
#

And we use cadian chainswords in this Inquisitorial Vessel

inland orchid
pastel yew
#

yeah I'm having a blast with the chain axe... (especially now my mobility stat isnt 6%)

short fern
#

Evisc is literally best in slot for zealot besides maybe dueling sword. Don’t knock it til you try it

analog yacht
#

they learned from games workshop

charred dome
#

So I'm assuming you rarely ever actually rev it or

stoic thorn
#

The close combat weapon:

stoic thorn
pastel yew
#

uhh I mean you rev for bosses

#

and big boys

#

the chain axe heavy has a sorta half rev built in

charred dome
#

implying there's ever only one big boy weirdkekw

pastel yew
#

in that it sticks and does multi hits

tawny badger
#

chain axe lights

short fern
stoic thorn
#

It's borderline orgasmic chainsawing a heretic

pastel yew
charred dome
#

had some games in heresy, not even damnation that had a crusher or mauler patrol every other room and I don't know why since that's never happened

stoic thorn
#

It's just feels GOOD

#

Especially dreg bruisers

umbral scaffold
#

new to the weapon update, I found this well rolled weapon in the temp shop, in order to get these stats maxxed out do i just play normally with it or is there a way to expedite maxing out the stats

stoic thorn
#

Sparks coming out their head

#

So satisfying

pastel yew
#

I do hope they give the chain weapons a little quality of life love

#

honestly the chain axe is only really bad in comparison

slow spade
pastel yew
#

like

#

it does its job well

tawny badger
pastel yew
#

its just we have so many degen weapons in the game that are way too good

charred dome
#

this was plain fucking heresy, no modifiers

umbral scaffold
short fern
analog yacht
pastel yew
#

you want some kind of cleave blessing on the chainswords tho no?

#

I think

#

I cant remember which is good

#

one of them makes your horde clear among the fastest in the game

#

and if you're using the chainsword you'd probably best play to its only strength

slow spade
#

Brutal Momentum?

charred dome
#

is bruhmentum on chains?

slow spade
#

no

charred dome
#

rip

pastel yew
#

brutal momentum out here making every cleave blessing look like a joke fr tho

slow spade
#

I thought they were asking what blessing boosted your hordeclear the most

#

woops

charred dome
#

I'll miss when they made ogryns immune to it lmfao

#

take out an entire crusher pat in one overhead

pastel yew
#

nah the chainsword blessing

#

wait you cant do that anymore??????

#

whaaa

#

thats so sad

charred dome
#

so a while back they made it so

analog yacht
#

dependw which cs

charred dome
#

I forgot if it's crushers or ALL ogryns

#

but bruhmentum can't just like stack off them

analog yacht
#

one of them wants cleave and the other wants damage

pastel yew
#

I remember watching the ogryn one tap like 4 maulers in a conga line

#

hillarious

charred dome
#

you can't take out an entire crusher pat in one overhead

#

I think maulers still eat shit to it

#

lemme ask in ogryn chat they'd know

pastel yew
#

mmh

#

I'm hoping the new ogryn stubber is good as

#

I finally have a reason to play ogryn

#

it only took them 2 years to add weapons that were interesting

charred dome
#

It's a sniper, just remember you have literally zero ammo

#

you do onetap just about everything though

stoic thorn
#

Ogryn needs more weapons

pastel yew
stoic thorn
#

More funds to research ogryn proofing guns

pastel yew
#

all the other ogryn ranged weapons sorta suck

#

not strength wise

short fern
#

Nah. Ammo dumping stubber is the one that makes the girls go 😱

pastel yew
#

mechanically uninteresting to me

charred dome
#

if you want a pocket sniper just use ripper mk5 or kickback

#

ripper mk5 if you want carpal tunnel

#

shit has so much fucking recoil lmao

stoic thorn
#

Who needs twin stubbers

pastel yew
stoic thorn
#

Let us rip out an assault cannon

pastel yew
#

DUDEEE

#

the fact they gave the ogryn another stubber rather than an auto cannon

#

is such a missed opportunity

charred dome
#

but nah the only complaints I've heard about the stubbers now is they sound weak, and ammo

stoic thorn
#

Wheres our fucking heavy bolter

short fern
pastel yew
#

a heavy bolter is just gonna feel like normal bolter with more ammo

#

honestly I want like... power fist

#

melta gun

stoic thorn
#

We better get the Boltgun heavy bolter

charred dome
#

If you want something that hurts and also goes boom then just go rumbler or nade gauntlet

pastel yew
#

needle weapons mayhaps... though I dont think theyd fit

stoic thorn
#

The monkeys paw curls

#

It's Veteran that gets the power fist

#

Zealot gets the melta

pastel yew
#

the nade gauntlets fun

charred dome
#

The new stubbers is just delete anything on the spot

pastel yew
#

the rumbler I really didnt like

stoic thorn
#

Actually fine the monkeys paw uncurls

pastel yew
#

also if the new stubbers one shot

charred dome
#

Rumbler is honestly, to me now mid because they gave monsters explosive resis

pastel yew
#

the ammo cant be THAT bad

stoic thorn
#

Ogryns now get Multi-Meltas

short fern
pastel yew
#

I mean an ogryn usually wouldnt be given one

short fern
#

Why the fuck would it auto correct to cannon

pastel yew
#

there's like.. one ttrpg called only war

#

where there is one subclass that lets you

stoic thorn
#

The only thing keeping ogryns from getting more shit

pastel yew
#

but thats all I really think there is on that

charred dome
#

They have no ammo stat too but anyways, just don't be blasting hordes with it for no reason and it's fine

stoic thorn
#

Is Mechanicus can only really ogryn proof a few weapons

charred dome
#

had an ogryn just hosing hordes with his stubber when he had a club lol

pastel yew
#

controversial take (as much as I love them) ogryn was a terrible choice of 4th class

#

they were always gonna have these issues as they have 0 overlap with other classes

stoic thorn
#

4 rocks to the face.

#

Death.

pastel yew
#

they're funny

charred dome
#

kroobah never dies

pastel yew
#

it's just

#

there is no universe in which they werent gonna have weapon variety issues

short fern
#

Honestly if you guys are dead set on using ranged for trash just main a psyker already. You’ll really enjoy it

stoic thorn
#

Slabshield when?

pastel yew
#

ranged for trash is just to support weapons with lesser horde clear

#

you're not only using it

#

also there are some weapons that vet will handle better

#

weapon specialist is like... a huge combat increase for the double barrel

#

and for your melee

charred dome
#

Guess I'm gonig

#

1 wound, 1 tough, 1 stamina curio

pastel yew
#

at least for the chainaxe I feel you basically need weapon spec

#

+20% attack speed helps a lot

charred dome
#

then triple stam regen and sprint eff brainlet

pastel yew
#

1 wound?

charred dome
#

I'm not even going to try and pretend to be one of those sweaty peeps with zero wound curios

short fern
#

My only gripe with double shot on vet is how do you deal with gunners and snipers if your team is struggling? You don’t really have any options like zealot

pastel yew
#

I guess if you think you're gonna die its fair

stoic thorn
#

Wait

pastel yew
#

or.. die twice even

stoic thorn
#

The one we have is a Slabshield oops

#

Brute Shield when?

charred dome
hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

if you only die once though you're basically only 6% health down

#

and you have that 21% extra to avoid going down in the first place

short fern
#

If you’re running wounds on anything besides martyrlot you’re just handicapping yourself

hollow ibex
#

wound curios come at the expense of your defense

charred dome
#

Also the bruhmentum nerf was ALL ogryns, I thought it was just crushers

stoic thorn
#

A bruteshield would provide better protection than a Sladshield

hollow ibex
#

don't forget that

pastel yew
#

inwhich case its worth

stoic thorn
#

Instead of the goofy ass material shield of the Slabshield

#

Bruteshield just gives us a forcefield I think

charred dome
#

It's just a condom in case some shit happens so I don't get back up with like 10 HP

#

Same vibe as taking sniper resis on ogryn, I've literally been shot from behind because my body blocked the laser so I never saw it LOL

short fern
charred dome
#

so what swap the wound for HP or tough

pastel yew
hollow ibex
pastel yew
short fern
charred dome
#

so HP or tough then

umbral scaffold
#

i just blindly follow this document

hollow ibex
#

i usually run 2x hp, 1x toughness

pastel yew
hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

because it lets you tank a sniper shot after going down

charred dome
#

I do have iron will so

pastel yew
#

but honestly + toughness is better imo

hollow ibex
#

well you just need 200+ hp

#

rest can be dumped into toughness

slow spade
#

just don't get hit

pastel yew
#

true

slow spade
#

optimal is stam UwU

pastel yew
#

all stam curios

charred dome
#

I mean I'm running a stam

pastel yew
#

that's my boltpistol build

#

all stam baby

charred dome
#

I'll never find a 3 stam but whatever

pastel yew
#

+3 +2 +2

#

deadshot gaming

#

I fucking love deadshot

#

absolute god talent

slow spade
#

Recon XII + Deadshot

charred dome
#

friend said something about +3 stam isn't actually +3 unless it's like

slow spade
#

stamina gaming

charred dome
#

410 and over or something?

pastel yew
#

wait is that

#

true

charred dome
#

I gotta remember that

pastel yew
#

why is that the case wtf

slow spade
charred dome
pastel yew
#

truly....

slow spade
#

toughness regen speed is shit

pastel yew
#

if you're running shout though I think the giga optimal is 3x cooldown recovery

slow spade
#

only affects coherency

pastel yew
#

since it lets you kill 2 specialists and then your shout has 100% uptime

charred dome
#

what is the cdr again

pastel yew
#

4% or something I think

#

12% total with all three

#

okay 4% doesnt sound like a lot... and thats because its not...

#

but

charred dome
#

TDR comes in when you're stripped on tough and there's nothing nearby to slap around

#

It ain't useless but it's not all that

slow spade
#

trusting youtubers for "builds" was your first mistake

pastel yew
#

the point is that 3 of them opens up having to only kill 2 things to have shout up 100% of the time

charred dome
#

I think I'd rather get block efficiency gigachad

pastel yew
#

I think the thing is though

#

most youtubers are good at the game

#

and the build they have is enough to beat the hardest content

hollow ibex
#

sprint eff is good on vet

pastel yew
#

so even if you get a bad youtuber build

#

failure is a skill issue clueless

slow spade
hollow ibex
#

our cdr talent is insanely strong

pastel yew
#

no

#

like

#

you take it with the cdr talent

#

thats the point

#

12% cooldown + 2 specialist kills with the cdr talent

#

means 100% uptime on gold toughnes

slow spade
#

cdr cudios are only good for 2x charge stealth builds

#

as it saves like 6 sec then

hollow ibex
charred dome
#

I do find it funny how in vermintide you literally had to take BCR on cata or else everything would snap your block in one hit

hollow ibex
#

better off taking other perks

pastel yew
#

okay

#

30s base cooldown
x 0.88 from 3x cdr curio = 26.4
-12 from two kills = 14.4

slow spade
pastel yew
#

14.4 is less than 15

#

thats why it is good

#

does the game need that much optimization?

#

i'd say not

#

but it is optimal

hollow ibex
#

it isn't lol

slow spade
#

its not

pastel yew
#

I'd say running 3x pennies is better tho

slow spade
#

you're completely ignoring the time spent between shots

pastel yew
#

extra coins is objectively the best

charred dome
#

I think it's more because it's such a small change I'd rather take something far more useful lol

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

more money is always good

pastel yew
#

true

#

money is also the only one that affects outside of the game

#

if you were already not gonna lose

hollow ibex
#

mourningstar crypto my beloved

pastel yew
#

then not taking it is a lot less cashola

somber adder
#

Curio reward chance is good for farming

slow spade
#

no its not

pastel yew
#

I've never actually tried it ngl

slow spade
#

just buy melk curios

pastel yew
#

I just assumed best is melk yea

somber adder
#

Since you can just make your own perfect weapons but curios are an rng fest

hollow ibex
#

curio reward chance is awful

pastel yew
#

especially now melk is useless

#

poor guy

hollow ibex
#

just camp the armory with the browser extension

somber adder
#

You need a lot of melk bucks to get a triple set of max rolls for each stat

hollow ibex
#

no need to handicap yourself

slow spade
#

melk has been nerfed constantly since release

pastel yew
#

eh fuck that, way too much effort

hollow ibex
#

don't even need melks

pastel yew
#

what else you spending them on tho? outside of weapon xp

slow spade
#

its the ONLY thing melk bucks are good for

pastel yew
#

nice if you want to save.. 1 game of xp grind ig

#

but thats like

#

8 ? curio rolls

#

you could have instead

#

8+

serene bough
#

but im not sure how useful it'll actually be

hollow ibex
serene bough
#

VoC is basically mandatory and spamming more often is always more helpful

pastel yew
#

all of the minor things on the curios are pretty meh

#

outside of the money one

hollow ibex
serene bough
#

ive seen a few zealots build more heavily into book/corruption cleansing

wraith locust
#

Cdr is good on curios

hollow ibex
#

i'm regularly killing specialists with DB shotgun build

serene bough
#

from the few missions ive done

hollow ibex
#

because it's everyone's job

pastel yew
#

everyones job =/= everyone does the same amount

hollow ibex
#

a lot of specialists run up close

#

and you can still snipe specialists with DB anywya

#

so there really is no excuse

pastel yew
#

12% reduced cdr is still good

clever hedge
#

CDR is basically mandatory in havoc as golden shields and toughness regin become essential

pastel yew
#

it stacks on top of the cdr talent like

wraith locust
#

^^

pastel yew
#

having more is NEVER bad

wraith locust
#

Most of the other curio perks are bad anyway

pastel yew
#

just engage in the brainrot vet gameplay of press f on cooldown

hollow ibex
#

i think it's ok

#

gunner resist has become more important though

#

so those that ignored gunner resist are prob going to want to start taking it

pastel yew
#

the only ones I really care for are money > toughness > stam regen > health or cdr

#

gunner resist might be important with the new havoc condition

#

cant comment there

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

but it absolutely is a dead pick on anything outside of havoc

hollow ibex
#

gunners got buffed generally

#

3x is prob still overkill in auric

serene bough
#

put it this way, ignoring tac awareness for a second, a 45 minute game w/ 12% CDR can get you 12 more casts of VoC

wraith locust
#

Yea gunner is good, I run gunner/cdr/toguhness

hollow ibex
#

but it's not bad either

pastel yew
#

I've not really noticed any increase from them in regular auric ngl

serene bough
#

and thats not including psykers w/ ability cd

pastel yew
#

45 is a long fucking game PANIK

#

most games are not going that long

serene bough
#

some of these higher level havocs are that long or longer

pastel yew
#

hmm

serene bough
#

based on what im seeing from others

pastel yew
#

yikes then

faint beacon
#

🚬

serene bough
#

who

orchid hemlock
#

Why did Dorn help that fucker? Sitgryn

faint beacon
#

Dorn took any opportunity to play with him

#

LMAO

#

Cause last he played with him was like

#

a while ago

orchid hemlock
#

How big was the gap?

serene bough
# pastel yew yikes then

but yeah just to further corroborate your point, 12% CDR w/ psyker CDR and tac awareness is simply going to keep better uptime for VoC during a game, which is mandatory due to golden THP

faint beacon
serene bough
#

it may be just a few seconds, but it's still great

orchid hemlock
#

Yes

pastel yew
#

seconds add up

orchid hemlock
#

Mister E I already know was carried to 40

faint beacon
#

I said hard carry cause he was crashing out from going down over small shit that becomes

slow spade
faint beacon
#

incredibly dangerous

pastel yew
#

man I love mister e

faint beacon

pastel yew
#

I dont think hes like

#

but hes a nice dude

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

is he?

orchid hemlock
#

And he is friends with Tanner

serene bough
#

idk any youtubers besides tanner, and thats moreso bc of his infamy

pastel yew
#

I've interacted with hima few times in comments but thats it

#

he seemed chill

#

tanner is

#

volatile

#

I cant tell if its a bit

#

or of the hate he gets is unjust tho

#

he does seem to get dunked on constantly by the community

faint beacon
#

He crashed out over Spamming Plas into hordes on Havoc

#

and then eating shit for it

serene bough
#

he's getting better i guess, but i usually base my builds and opinions on the vet guide pinned here + my own experiences/preferences

faint beacon
#

🚬

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

is that a real fact/

pastel yew
#

what'd he do

orchid hemlock
#

Yes

faint beacon
#

🤫

pastel yew
#

O H

#

yikes

orchid hemlock
#

Have u seen his videos and posts?

pastel yew
#

no I dont like his voice

slow spade
#

Chocobo c:

pastel yew
#

I've just seen a few videos

orchid hemlock
#

He had this Chinese segment that was extremely racist

pastel yew
#

and the uhh

orchid hemlock
#

He even used the C slur

pastel yew
#

one he made about reginald

faint beacon
#

Oh joy

pastel yew
#

is that so bad

#

or

faint beacon
#

No

pastel yew
#

faint beacon
#

the one used towards Asians

serene bough
#

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
serene bough

at any rate

orchid hemlock
#

He also acts like a 2 year old

serene bough
#

i hope I get to try havoc 30+ soon

orchid hemlock
#

And can't take criticism

serene bough
#

i really wanna experiment but i havent had the chance to go higher yet

pastel yew
#

reginald mentioned something in his video about cleave changes?

#

in regards to havoc

#

anyone know what was changed if anything

serene bough
#

enemies have higher hitmass/HP

pastel yew
#

I might just be misunderstanding

serene bough
#

so cleave is more difficult

orchid hemlock
#

And he lied about why he got banned, saying strawhat is a power hungry freak 💀

pastel yew
serene bough
#

not necessarily, idk if weapons can still 1hko

pastel yew
#

hmm

radiant chasm
pastel yew
#

I Guess if they cant then bm is a lot worse

#

yee

radiant chasm
#

wrath and savage sweep become better

#

as well as sunder

serene bough
#

path.exe thinks rashad is dead

#

bc it can no longer 1hko the trash enemies

#

so bromentum no bueno

radiant chasm
#

yea i think it might be the return of antax

#

with headtaker decimator

pastel yew
#

even with headtaker?

radiant chasm
#

or something

serene bough
pastel yew
#

mmh

serene bough
#

reee

faint beacon
pastel yew
#

I really hope they update the psykanium as

#

I dont wanna math out breakpoinst

faint beacon
#

he had a 180 realizing shooters and bruisers

pastel yew
#

I feel like visual indicator helps a lot

faint beacon
#

aren't effected by havoc HP increase

serene bough
faint beacon
#

so Rashad

serene bough
#

just elites/specialist?

faint beacon
#

MIGHT STILL BE ON THE MENU

#

no Poxers/Groaners

#

and Specials/Elites

pastel yew
#

rashad is too fuckin good anyway 🚬

serene bough
#

horde enemies and elites/specialists

#

i see

pastel yew
#

be good if the new mode knocks it down to reasonable standards

#

but like

#

surely all the alreadymid weapons

#

are now EXTRA mid

#

the breakpoints on the chain axe are already so tight

#

I dont think you're gonna be able to one tap with even a full heavy

#

and that'd be REAL bad for how slow it is

#

maybe with stam... heavy+thrust into push attack on the mk12

orchid hemlock
# pastel yew lmao what

Strawhat is just the CM

They didn't even ban Tanner, they just talked to him saying that they will unban him if he starts to reform and take accountability for what he did.

Instead Tanner made a public post about about Strawhat, lying thru his teeth about and banning mods in his own discord 💀

pastel yew
#

which is nice

#

even if most of what is said to them amounts to literally nothing

#

things got a lot less toxic with them around

#

especially on reddit which is already a cesspool

faint beacon
#

He's a Lolcow with an extremely high ego

#

literally just burnt a bridge

#

LMAO

pastel yew
#

narcisist by the sounds

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

lol cows are always such a sad situation as their audience just ends up egging them on for amusement

faint beacon
#

Devils Advocate

#

its really funny watching it when they know better

orchid hemlock
#

I don't like using the term "lol cow"

Because kiwifarms is arguable worse in many situations than the content creators they feed on

crude wind
#

I hope he gets help

crude wind
#

saw those posts, they are extremely unpleasant to Strawhat

pastel yew
#

I think lolcow as a term though is

#

very descriptive

#

theres not really another word to describe that type of person so succinctly ig

orchid hemlock
#

BTW this is all public information

pastel yew
faint beacon
#

genuine lolcow shit lmao

orchid hemlock
#

The good news is, his community isn't nearly as large as he thinks it is and has basically made 0 influence onto this discord

pastel yew
#

I mean given how negatively people reacted to him I cant imagine any of his fans would actually comment

#

better he's just banned though

#

harassment aint gonna be good for anyone

orchid hemlock
#

If u scroll up u can also see him go into a tantrum

pastel yew
#

what about uhh

#

ryken XIV

#

he's cool right?

#

we dont got many content creators for darktide

#

least not ones that focus on build/balance etc

orchid hemlock
#

He is literally lying

slow spade
orchid hemlock
#

You know why I know he's lying?

Because he doesn't post any screenshot of the convo 💀

pastel yew
#

okay this is off topic but that fucking comment

#

"sounds like a woman to me" BRROOOOTHER WHYY

slow spade
#

off-topic? here? in vet-chat? impossible

Since JasonR's controversy, I have spent the past four months listening and collecting lived experiences by women who have been playing games all their lives. These are their stories.

I'm tired of toxic narasasists dominating competitions in video games

pastel yew
#

all the sexist racist shit can stay in his chat

#

quarantined from the rest of the community

pastel yew
#

you think you're better than others

#

which means you stop accepting criticism

#

and when that happens you just spiral in your own little ego bubble

#

I Dont think that will change

crude wind
slow spade
pastel yew
#

yeah I mean not everyone that is good is a narcissist

slow spade
#

personally I felt it was inevitable

crude wind
#

if you embrace humility, when you're good at something you can do the most generous thing of all, help others with the knowledge

#

but our society is based around invidualism and ego

slow spade
crude wind
#

so sadly many do not go that route

pastel yew
#

I mean as a content creator you're also sorta... incentivised... to put yourself on a pedastal

#

why would people listen to you if they think you're just another guy

death, kill them

I can understand being mad at someone via skill

But being mad as someone and dodging because they are a woman? 💀

this is a PvE game atm the end of the day, there is no reason to meta slave this game

I cant criticise because I abused the fuck out of this weapon when I was playing psyker but, it's so tiring seeing it in every ame

just let people play how they want

pastel yew
#

I mean that's what convincing someone means, but doing that doesnt mean you're correct

#

you see it all the time, people completely in the wrong will win popular opinion by being convincing

#

even if what they say is very clearly incorrect, it doesnt matter

orchid hemlock

We don't need another gameslantern 😔

pastel yew

whats wrong with gameslantern/

crude wind
orchid hemlock
#

Gameslantern is ass tho because it's filter system is fucked

if you can see it, then others can too

those people are just loud and the desperate flock to them

#

Hello, I'm a ps newbie. Are there any weapons considered outright bad that i should avoid? I've been liking the chain axe, bolter, and infantry lasgun

orchid hemlock
#

Its not that gameslantern as a whole is bad, the problem is that the filter system benefits people who out up builds back 2 years ago over what is actually good

crude wind
slow spade
grand perch
#

gameslantern mentioned
OH BOY IS IT TIME FOR [SQUAD LEADER BUILD] AGAIN???

last peak
#

Good to know lol

charred dome
slow spade
#

the only weapon that's genuinely bad is Shredder Autopistol imo

crude wind
#

agre

grand perch
#

top upvoted vet build on games lantern is squad leader and its bad

orchid hemlock
crude wind
#

DID SOMEONE SAY SQUAD LEADER

pastel yew
#

I think the worst melee weapon I've used in that they've struggled at certain things, is the chain axe and even that is really good

grand perch
#

but it comes up a lot in this chat by people who cant know better

pastel yew
#

maybe the shovels are? a bit rough

crude wind
#

I AM READY TO LEAD THE SQUAD

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

I know they have good crowd control but like, most weapons do

crude wind
grand perch
#

my eyessss there it is

slow spade
#

yeah it doesn't help that the "squad leader" builds don't really take the best "team" points

pastel yew
#

googles "veteran squad leader build" >> sits at the back the entire time

crude wind
#

og being original gangster and not ogryn

pastel yew
#

average vet experience

crude wind
#

just to clarify

vernal sundial
#

"squad leader"

no field improv

pastel yew
#

original ogryn..

crude wind
#

oo

slow spade
#

doesn't even have Born Leader lol

vernal sundial
#

or born leader yea lmao

pastel yew
slow spade
#

"squad leader" -> doesn't have born leader

#

come on man its in the name

hollow ibex

#

The real question is

crude wind
pastel yew
#

but honestly they're all in the sorta ehhh category for me. not visually interesting, not really iconic, not really good enough to be fun

stray storm
orchid hemlock
#

Why do they take 3 toughness regen curio perks

#

But not born leader

pastel yew
#

they do?

#

on h1?

orchid hemlock
#

💀

pastel yew
#

or maybe it wasnt h1

crude wind
#

you mean the blessing thrust?

hollow ibex
#

i can get meme builds for thematic reasons

pastel yew
#

nah not the lessing

hollow ibex
#

but this isn't even a good thematic build

crude wind
#

you mean the pick axe move

pastel yew
#

I'm remembering a specific shovel with that good thrust but its been ages since I've looked at em

vernal sundial
#

thoughts and opinions on deadshot w/recon lasgun? wanna try out the gun and heard its a fun way to play it

pastel yew
#

nah the flip is different

#

I'm probably just misremembering

crude wind
#

ohhh

#

you mean the poke move

#

?

grand perch
crude wind
#

thats the og shovel, yeah. That one is good

pastel yew
#

I mean it is a fun way to play it

#

its unsafe though

slow spade
pastel yew
#

because you'll be running stam curios

#

probably more than one...

#

though you can just keep deadshot as a slight damage boost and not

#

the good thing about the recon is it's hipfire is goated

#

so you dont have to activate deadshot to use it well

orchid hemlock
#

Oh shit yall seen the regi recon buil? 💀

pastel yew
#

no?

#

I pray for 3 stam curios

slow spade
#

I don't look at builds tbh lol

pastel yew
#

I think they're worth looking at if you're new

slow spade
#

though I think the only "controversial" thing I take is the +50% coherency aura

pastel yew
#

because even if one is wrong you sorta put together a larger idea of the games balance

slow spade
#

because I like team buffs c:

pastel yew
#

I watch them on occasion even though I''m not gonna use the weapons, while I eat n stuff

#

I have no idea how big the aura is anyway tbh

#

it seems reasonably large

slow spade
#

Charismatic makes it 12m

pastel yew
#

say an ally is 10m away

#

they get your coherency

#

but do you get theirs?

slow spade
pastel yew
#

hmm hmm

crude wind
#

so can be very good

pastel yew
#

oh thats cool

slow spade
#

the main reason why I take it is so I can be more certain I cover them with VOC

orchid hemlock
slow spade
pastel yew
#

it just has real strong competition

slow spade
#

so more stam/toughness/damage for everyone

pastel yew
#

YEES

#

I was hoping itd be 3x stam curios

grand perch
pastel yew
#

god I disagree with like

orchid hemlock
#

Jef thinks this is a meta build btw 💀

pastel yew
#

literally every decision in this build outside of the stam curios though

#

this has to be troll

crude wind
slow spade
#

made like every mistake possible

pastel yew
#

also I'm gonna throw out the controversial take now but onslaught is fucking garbage

#

and a complete waste of ammo

slow spade
#

Rending Strikes exists and that's all I need

hollow ibex
#

so good on him lol

pastel yew
#

I dont even think rending strikes is all that good in most builds....

slow spade
#

true lol, I've seen people not take it

orchid hemlock
slow spade
pastel yew
#

why are you

#

shooting carapace with your recon

orchid hemlock
#

Recon has horrible armor Modifyers

slow spade
pastel yew
#

you have

#

kraks and melee and stuff

slow spade
pastel yew
#

vet is the least starved for fuckyoucarapace options of any class

slow spade
#

its dogshit

pastel yew
#

I think my recon has +maniac on it

orchid hemlock
#

I'm thinking about switching my crit rate to maniac tbh 🤔

slow spade
#

doesn't change it has shit ADM vs maniac

urban axle
#

guys i need help, is bolt pistol better than spearhead boltgun?

pastel yew
#

its not so so bad

orchid hemlock
#

Bolt pistol is more comparable to the revolver

#

And yes the revolver is better whatthefuck_heresy

slow spade
pastel yew
#

bolt pistol is the better marksman weapon

#

boltgun is the better generalist weapon

urban axle
#

ah ok

#

and duelist sword also the best melee?

#

or should i change it for something else

pastel yew
#

yeah probably

#

I mean depends

slow spade
#

its not the best but its up there

pastel yew
#

with no melee talents the mk6 is really good

slow spade
#

it won't fail you

charred dome
#

Is it just me or are some dh spawns impossible to sneak past lol

urban axle
#

mk6?

pastel yew
#

mk6 powersword

slow spade
#

but all of them can be sneaked past

pastel yew
#

its really good because it doesnt need melee skills to be good

charred dome
#

just had one on hab draeko where it blocked the large area before the final elevator

urban axle
#

does it look cool?

slow spade
pastel yew
charred dome
#

perfect run besides that happening

pastel yew
#

deadly accurate is goated on the bp, it lets you one shot most things which is huge

urban axle
#

because duelist sword looks kind of cool on my character

pastel yew
#

my usual set up is deadly accurate + surgical + deadshot from skill tree and then a stam curio

slow spade
slow spade
urban axle
#

ooo

slow spade
#

triggered DH has bigger radius :c

pastel yew
#

dh keeps getting angry when I shine my flashlight in its eyes...

#

I just wanna see their face

orchid hemlock
pastel yew
#

rashad is better generalist

#

but duelist sword is waaaay better for elite stuff

#

like no competition

#

dueling sword is the min max

orchid hemlock
#

nah rashad can oneshot most elites with the lights

slow spade
#

there's a mod to give Psword the boss sword effects

urban axle
#

what about the heavy sword

slow spade
#

pretty neat

orchid hemlock
#

the only thing DS is better at is crushers

#

and u need to invets more for Rashad

pastel yew
#

can the rashad one shot most elites???????? on a light

#

the most common ones are the gunners and I dont think it one shots those

orchid hemlock
#

yes if u have max HT stacks

#

u can even oneshot thru a horde sometimes

pastel yew
#

hm

#

still dueling sword better defence + raw elite clear

slow spade
#

rashad is the best melee option but it needs investment

#

DS is the safest imo

pastel yew
#

yeah you need all the melee skills

slow spade
#

Psword is the cheapest

pastel yew
#

its breakpoints are tight

heavy rover
#

Yeah, Rashad needs the perfect roll. If you do get it, it's so worth it

pastel yew
#

honestly all of these weapons need some adjustment but

#

its never gonna happen

#

the darktide balance team is smokin

slow spade
#

they could brick the balance in an instant for funnies

orchid hemlock
#

Rashad also can stun ragers

#

DS can only stun one

slow spade
#

"Removed Brutal Momentum"

pastel yew
#

you dont need to stagger them really with the ds tho

#

because your defence is so cracked

#

and the range poke

orchid hemlock
#

when u have 20 ragers on u, u will wish u had a PS or Rashad 😔

pastel yew
#

I mean I've used the weapon loads on psyker

#

probably like 90%+ of my total psyker playtime

#

and not once have I thought that

#

and the weapons better on other classes

#

not by much

#

its too good defensively

orchid hemlock
#

for this havoc modifiers im wondering if brittle counters the blessed armor? 🤔

pastel yew
#

if only you could test this in the psyk

#

maybe a mod will add it

#

creature spawner mod might update to account for stuff like that so you can test

pearl mango
orchid hemlock
#

just dump mobility

#

perks, the big one is cara but the second is either unarmored or elite

#

blessings is almost always HT and BM

pearl mango
#

thaanks

tall torrent
#

When u have 20 ragers on you you’re better off with duelling sword & knife

#

Just to outrun them

orchid hemlock
#

impossible

#

nah i fight chadgryn

tall torrent
#

U talking havoc? Or

charred dome
#

wait rashad isn't flak cara?

tall torrent
#

Because Rashad in havoc is like 5 hits to kill a single Dreg rager

orchid hemlock
#

flak on vet i dont think makes any breakpoints

umbral scaffold
#

Hi i just started the game and i am wondering. Is voice of command+krak+Plasma and power sword a good way to go for veteran class?

orchid hemlock
#

but havoc stats are too crazy i dont think it matters anymore

tall torrent
#

Wouldn’t call it a “good way to go”

charred dome
#

so maniac or elite

tall torrent
#

Unarmored/elite

charred dome
#

elite cara then

#

laspistol is unyielding maniac lol

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

Unarmored changes a couple breakpoints for Rashad (easier to access) and functionally is the same breakpoints as elite

#

Laspistol maniac + elite/crit chance prob

charred dome
#

I'd run crit chance but I have enough of that I think so I'll go elite on the las

#

then there's the question of shred or headtaker

#

since shred seems to carry over when I swap to laspistol

tall torrent
#

Doesn’t

charred dome
#

Weird the buff stays down there but it doesn't actually apply?

tall torrent
#

It’s “melee weapon’s crit chance”

charred dome
#

It just says bonus crit chance for me

tall torrent
#

Yea, tooltip is super misleading lol

charred dome
#

Too lazy to get the mods that unfuck the item descriptions lol

tall torrent
#

Pretty much every single talent & blessing tooltip is at least partially wrong

charred dome
#

I still don't know if I want headtaker ffs

tall torrent
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

eh I think maniac can be swapped out for unarmored

tawny badger
#

atp just let your soul guide how you play
fuck descriptions, fuck builds

charred dome
pastel yew
#

the breakpoint unarmored gives is adjusted by like.... any stacks of head taker

#

its nice

#

but its not must have ultra necessary

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

with headtaker?

tall torrent
#

And maniac doesn’t change breakpoints much

#

Yea

pastel yew
#

maniac is just nice damage against annoying enemies

#

idk I've tried both and

#

both feel almost identical

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t give u mutant 1 tap

umbral scaffold
pastel yew
#

rashad is a borin weapon anyway

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t give u Dreg rager 2 tap

charred dome
#

elite covers both ragers and stooped gunners tho

pastel yew
#

very new if they call out continous S tier things asking if they're okay

#

I'd imagine no community interaction and sub level 30

tall torrent
#

Maniac on Rashad only really matters in havoc

umbral scaffold
#

I am lvl 13 😂

pastel yew
#

on every curio slot

#

its one of the sub buffs

#

so you have your main benefit from the curio, then the three little ones. thats where the xp is

umbral scaffold
#

You mean there's more to just wild swinging?

pastel yew
#

a little more yeah

#

depends on the weapon

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I dont really subscribe to the notion its really complex though

umbral scaffold
#

I like the power sword but i don't know what the strenghts and weaknesses of the weapons are

pastel yew
#

most of the complexity is in the build side of things rather than the player mechanics

umbral scaffold
#

I use melee to fight hordes and my gun to kill specialists and bigger targets

terse idol
pastel yew
pastel yew
tall torrent
#

Strengths

  • takes almost no talent investment to be good
  • can actually fight everything

Weaknesses

  • seriously bad dodges
  • may crack under heavy melee pressure
pastel yew
#

but a lot of weapons in darktide are literally.. spam light or spam heavy

#

some weapons have more interesting optimal horde clear

#

some weapons have useful push attacks

#

some weapons have none of that

#

I feel the biggest player hurdle is dodging more than anything

umbral scaffold
pastel yew
#

yeah it is

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

are the power sword dodges that bad?

terse idol
#

Past that I'd say for someone like me too

#

Its not over dodging

#

And relying on block for chaff

pastel yew
#

block is

#

int

#

never block

#

or.. almost never block

terse idol
#

Look its more complex

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
pastel yew
#

there's basically never a reason to block in this game

terse idol
#

You dodge too much

#

You over dodg

#

And now you have no dodge when it's important

tall torrent
#

Blocking a hit is better than taking a hit if you’re not at 0 stamina

pastel yew
#

you only overdodge if you run out of dodges then get hit

terse idol
#

You have to block more

pastel yew
#

but they're not a trade off

pastel yew
#

you can block AND dodge

#

you should never just block

terse idol
#

You can just over-dodge and run out of doges

pastel yew
#

outside of some very specific circumstances

terse idol
#

Doge

pastel yew
#

the risk to reward on block is just not good

terse idol
#

I mean

#

Yes it's a balanc

pastel yew
#

if you get hit out of stamina you're fucked

#

yeah its a balance of only dodging because dodging is broken and has no cost

#

lmao

terse idol
#

But if you run out of dodges and get forced to block you're extra fucked

#

You can literally over dodge for things you don't need to dodge

pastel yew
#

I mean this is gonna depend on the class

terse idol
#

Like that single pox walkers

#

You can bloc/parry those

pastel yew
#

some weapons have pretty bad dodges but even then they're not the worst

umbral scaffold
#

I also noticed that i often ran out of ammo with the recon lasgun. The one i had the most sucess with so far has been the autogun

terse idol
#

You need shocktrooper

pastel yew
terse idol
#

Which you don't get yet if you're only level 13

pastel yew
#

which makes critical hits not consume ammo

young bison
#

The rule of thumb I was taught was swing-swing-dodge-repeat.

pastel yew
#

also yeah

#

theres a reason your melee weapon is your primary weapon

young bison
#

You don't outpace your dodge regen

terse idol
#

Now is the time to learn to block

#

And parry

pastel yew
#

but why would you block most of the time

#

even at best

#

its just wasting stamina

terse idol
#

To save a dodge

pastel yew
#

dodging is free

terse idol
#

It won't kill your stamina

terse idol
pastel yew
#

but you dont need to save dodges? they come back instantly

terse idol
#

"Free"

pastel yew
#

at most you shove once

terse idol
#

You used a dodge counter

umbral scaffold
#

The tree seems interesting. I am going down the middle line and not really looking at the rest. I wanna see where it ends up

terse idol
#

Imo you gotta balance all of it

pastel yew
#

dont poison your mind with vet chat stuff yet

terse idol
#

Dodges are so useful that when you can't dodge anymore that's when you're in trouble

pastel yew
#

stuff in here is going to be the 100% optimal

#

and you dont need that to enjoy the game

#

variety is good

young bison
#

A lot abilities proc on dodges as well, so players are incentivised to use dodges to get the most out of their builds; only a few seem to rely on active blocks.

pastel yew
#

variety will keep you engaged so you can improve your skill level which is the primary way to get stronger

tall torrent
terse idol
#

well and challenge yourself by playing harder difficulties

pastel yew
#

dodging is not only defensively stronger, less of a cost, its also just better

tall torrent
#

The only good one got nerfed

terse idol
#

I meeannn

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah I'll experiment now. I just naturally enjoy optimization and higher diffs

terse idol
#

Its a cost
