or it's a sword idfk
Flamer with ds and knives feels too safe
the heavies on the chain axe sound so fucking good
Eviscerator is god tier tf
the illisi force sword iirc
you can poke them and charge a blast into them but you can also just throw out several heavies in that time
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
what makes evisc better
more damage
1h chainswords are probably worst weapons in the game
killing power
Mk15 has best cleave in the game
nahh no way
their horde clear is good
one of them at least
but yeah that's all they do
evis is just a straight upgrade to the chainsword imo
other weapons do that +
so is heavy sword, except that doesn't give up literally everything to do it
all of the best melee weapons just do literally everything
you can cancel it with dodge tbf
heavy swords are goated tho
so is cs
also you can dodge and hit while dodging you effectively cut the immobalisation down
yeah but the second you actually hit something with the attack you have their 3 mauler/crusher pals doing overheads
This is why most Evis zealots run heavy bolter with unyielding and carapace with throwing knives, you’re a god, highly recommend
the real awful thing is that the chain weapons work as a burst
so they do 0 damage unless you complete the animation
that’s why you gotta be mindful to not rev attack into a team of maulers/crushers
like I'd spend more time sawing them, revving it up and repeating than just throwing out heavies it feels like
they're just funky force swords and its the worst
Nah, I'd win
they’re fun
I'm John Cadia
yeah i mean fs has a habit of making the coolest weapons the worst ones
hi john pile of rocks
Omg who told the ragers about chain weaponry we’re karking screwed
And we use cadian chainswords in this Inquisitorial Vessel

yeah I'm having a blast with the chain axe... (especially now my mobility stat isnt 6%)
Evisc is literally best in slot for zealot besides maybe dueling sword. Don’t knock it til you try it
they learned from games workshop
So I'm assuming you rarely ever actually rev it or
The close combat weapon:
If I feel like it I get a rev out
uhh I mean you rev for bosses
and big boys
the chain axe heavy has a sorta half rev built in
implying there's ever only one big boy 
in that it sticks and does multi hits
chain axe lights
Heavy attack one shots elites and specialists and rev one shots carapace but too risky vs hordes. That’s what ranged is for
It's borderline orgasmic chainsawing a heretic
you're vet, dodge, shout do whatever
uh
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
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
I do hope they give the chain weapons a little quality of life love
honestly the chain axe is only really bad in comparison
attacked the Carapace factory 😔
go to hadron
entreat hadron
empower weapon
its just we have so many degen weapons in the game that are way too good
like I've had auric damn games that had nowhere as much armor
this was plain fucking heresy, no modifiers
tyvm!
I personally don’t like savage sweep. Rampage is top tier though
as you increase weapon archetype mastery, you unlock the ability to stat up weapons at hadron. The mastery isn't attatched to that specific weapon, just the whole archetype
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
Brutal Momentum?
is bruhmentum on chains?
no
rip
brutal momentum out here making every cleave blessing look like a joke fr tho
I'll miss when they made ogryns immune to it lmfao
take out an entire crusher pat in one overhead
nah the chainsword blessing
wait you cant do that anymore??????
whaaa
thats so sad
so a while back they made it so
dependw which cs
I forgot if it's crushers or ALL ogryns
but bruhmentum can't just like stack off them
one of them wants cleave and the other wants damage
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
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
It's a sniper, just remember you have literally zero ammo
you do onetap just about everything though
Ogryn needs more weapons
all I care about honestly
More funds to research ogryn proofing guns
Nah. Ammo dumping stubber is the one that makes the girls go 😱
mechanically uninteresting to me
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
Who needs twin stubbers
for all of a bout 5 games till the novelty wears off
Let us rip out an assault cannon
DUDEEE
the fact they gave the ogryn another stubber rather than an auto cannon
is such a missed opportunity
but nah the only complaints I've heard about the stubbers now is they sound weak, and ammo
Wheres our fucking heavy bolter
I mean that’s all I use along with recon lasgun on my vet. I enjoy it 
a heavy bolter is just gonna feel like normal bolter with more ammo
honestly I want like... power fist
melta gun
We better get the Boltgun heavy bolter
If you want something that hurts and also goes boom then just go rumbler or nade gauntlet
needle weapons mayhaps... though I dont think theyd fit
the nade gauntlets fun
The new stubbers is just delete anything on the spot
the rumbler I really didnt like
Actually fine the monkeys paw uncurls
also if the new stubbers one shot
Rumbler is honestly, to me now mid because they gave monsters explosive resis
the ammo cant be THAT bad
Ogryns now get Multi-Meltas
Well only an ogryn would have the strength to wield it and idk if that’s canon or not.
I mean an ogryn usually wouldnt be given one
Why the fuck would it auto correct to cannon
The only thing keeping ogryns from getting more shit
but thats all I really think there is on that
They have no ammo stat too but anyways, just don't be blasting hordes with it for no reason and it's fine
Is Mechanicus can only really ogryn proof a few weapons
had an ogryn just hosing hordes with his stubber when he had a club lol
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
I need my fat foot knight
they're funny
kroobah never dies
Honestly if you guys are dead set on using ranged for trash just main a psyker already. You’ll really enjoy it
Slabshield when?
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
at least for the chainaxe I feel you basically need weapon spec
+20% attack speed helps a lot
then triple stam regen and sprint eff 
1 wound?
I'm not even going to try and pretend to be one of those sweaty peeps with zero wound curios
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
I guess if you think you're gonna die its fair
Wait
or.. die twice even
Relatable
It's a condom for when I get trapped through a wall lol
running no wounds isn't even a sweat thing lol, it's just the standard
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
Allegedly 
If you’re running wounds on anything besides martyrlot you’re just handicapping yourself
wound curios come at the expense of your defense
Also the bruhmentum nerf was ALL ogryns, I thought it was just crushers
A bruteshield would provide better protection than a Sladshield
don't forget that
yeah, unless you think you're gonna die twice
inwhich case its worth
Instead of the goofy ass material shield of the Slabshield
Bruteshield just gives us a forcefield I think
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
But statistically players that run wounds lose more games, you’re relying on your brainless monkey teammates to revive you at that point
so what swap the wound for HP or tough
you're coming back up with 66% of your max, rather than 50%. if you just run a health curio, you're less likely to go down initially and likely have more total health but I'd have to do the math
well you're cucking yourself by taking less hp or toughness. also med stimms become substantially less effective.
yeah because people that die twice lose games
I typically run 2 toughness and one health
so HP or tough then
i usually run 2x hp, 1x toughness
I think the giga optimal is health
can't go wrong
because it lets you tank a sniper shot after going down
I do have iron will so
but honestly + toughness is better imo
true
optimal is stam UwU
all stam curios
I mean I'm running a stam
I'll never find a 3 stam but whatever
Recon XII + Deadshot
friend said something about +3 stam isn't actually +3 unless it's like
stamina gaming
410 and over or something?
400
I gotta remember that
why is that the case wtf
supposedly and honestly I don't doubt it
fartshart coding
truly....
toughness regen speed is shit
if you're running shout though I think the giga optimal is 3x cooldown recovery
only affects coherency
since it lets you kill 2 specialists and then your shout has 100% uptime
what is the cdr again
4% or something I think
12% total with all three
okay 4% doesnt sound like a lot... and thats because its not...
but
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
trusting youtubers for "builds" was your first mistake
the point is that 3 of them opens up having to only kill 2 things to have shout up 100% of the time
I think I'd rather get block efficiency 
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
sprint eff is good on vet
doesn't change they give dogshit builds
not worth on vet
our cdr talent is insanely strong
its like
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
totally unnecessary, esp on higher difficulties where there's 20 specialists every minute
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
better off taking other perks
but now you can just pull a .75 cal diamond tipped bolt round into their head
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
it isn't lol
its not
I'd say running 3x pennies is better tho
you're completely ignoring the time spent between shots
extra coins is objectively the best
I think it's more because it's such a small change I'd rather take something far more useful lol
ok i can get behind that
more money is always good
true
money is also the only one that affects outside of the game
if you were already not gonna lose
mourningstar crypto my beloved
then not taking it is a lot less cashola
Curio reward chance is good for farming
no its not
I've never actually tried it ngl
just buy melk curios
I just assumed best is melk yea
Since you can just make your own perfect weapons but curios are an rng fest
curio reward chance is awful
just camp the armory with the browser extension
You need a lot of melk bucks to get a triple set of max rolls for each stat
no need to handicap yourself
melk has been nerfed constantly since release
eh fuck that, way too much effort
don't even need melks
what else you spending them on tho? outside of weapon xp
we literally never use them
its the ONLY thing melk bucks are good for
nice if you want to save.. 1 game of xp grind ig
but thats like
8 ? curio rolls
you could have instead
8+
I can see an argument for it in higher difficulty havocs
but im not sure how useful it'll actually be
the 3x slots are prob better used on corruption resist tbh
VoC is basically mandatory and spamming more often is always more helpful
I mean if you're focussed primarily on melee, you're gonna get a lot less
all of the minor things on the curios are pretty meh
outside of the money one
dealing with specialists is something everyone should be doing
ive seen a few zealots build more heavily into book/corruption cleansing
Cdr is good on curios
i'm regularly killing specialists with DB shotgun build
from the few missions ive done
because it's everyone's job
are you killing as many with your db as you are with a more focussed ranged weapon?
everyones job =/= everyone does the same amount
fewer, but still a lot
a lot of specialists run up close
and you can still snipe specialists with DB anywya
so there really is no excuse
12% reduced cdr is still good
CDR is basically mandatory in havoc as golden shields and toughness regin become essential
it stacks on top of the cdr talent like
^^
having more is NEVER bad
Most of the other curio perks are bad anyway
just engage in the brainrot vet gameplay of press f on cooldown
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
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
Must..... Not.... Mention......
HIS NAME 😡
but it absolutely is a dead pick on anything outside of havoc
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
Yea gunner is good, I run gunner/cdr/toguhness
but it's not bad either
I've not really noticed any increase from them in regular auric ngl
and thats not including psykers w/ ability cd
some of these higher level havocs are that long or longer
hmm
based on what im seeing from others
yikes then
He got hard carried by dorn and got mad you can't be a generalist based class in havoc if that makes you happy
🚬
who
Wait he did?
Why did Dorn help that fucker? 
Dorn took any opportunity to play with him
LMAO
Cause last he played with him was like
a while ago
How big was the gap?
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
Him vs Tanner?
it may be just a few seconds, but it's still great
Yes
seconds add up
Mister E I already know was carried to 40
I said hard carry cause he was crashing out from going down over small shit that becomes
but then teammates won't die and I won't get my penance for revives
incredibly dangerous
man I love mister e
on Havoc 30+
No he isn't, he's a grifter 💀
is he?
And he is friends with Tanner
idk any youtubers besides tanner, and thats moreso bc of his infamy
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
he's getting better i guess, but i usually base my builds and opinions on the vet guide pinned here + my own experiences/preferences
🚬
Tanner is banned form this server for being too much of a gamer
is that a real fact/
Racist
what'd he do
Yes
🤫
Have u seen his videos and posts?
no I dont like his voice
Chocobo c:
I've just seen a few videos
He had this Chinese segment that was extremely racist
and the uhh
He even used the C slur
one he made about reginald
Oh joy
No
are we talkin the racist one
the one used towards Asians
ahhhh
wow I didnt realise he was such scum
I figured he was just
lol cow with temper issues
40k fans
truly
lmao
true
I said Chinese
yeah I missed your message before the one I replied to ngl
at any rate
He also acts like a 2 year old
i hope I get to try havoc 30+ soon
And can't take criticism
i really wanna experiment but i havent had the chance to go higher yet
reginald mentioned something in his video about cleave changes?
in regards to havoc
anyone know what was changed if anything
enemies have higher hitmass/HP
I might just be misunderstanding
so cleave is more difficult
And he lied about why he got banned, saying strawhat is a power hungry freak 💀
brutal momentum even better then?
lmao what
strawhat seems cool
not necessarily, idk if weapons can still 1hko
hmm
worse if your weapon can't oneshot
path.exe thinks rashad is dead
bc it can no longer 1hko the trash enemies
so bromentum no bueno
even with headtaker?
or something
dunno, havent experimented enouhg yet
mmh
on vet you might only hit the bare bones basic chaff and even then, you could fall off in higher havocs
he thinks its still viable
he had a 180 realizing shooters and bruisers
I feel like visual indicator helps a lot
aren't effected by havoc HP increase
oh really
so Rashad
just elites/specialist?
rashad is too fuckin good anyway 🚬
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
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 💀
straw hat seems to actually engage with the community though
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
So what I got from this is
He's a Lolcow with an extremely high ego
literally just burnt a bridge
LMAO
narcisist by the sounds
Yeah
lol cows are always such a sad situation as their audience just ends up egging them on for amusement
I don't like using the term "lol cow"
Because kiwifarms is arguable worse in many situations than the content creators they feed on
he seems quite mentally ill
I hope he gets help
kiwi farms is cancer
saw those posts, they are extremely unpleasant to Strawhat
I think lolcow as a term though is
very descriptive
theres not really another word to describe that type of person so succinctly ig
BTW this is all public information
for every voice saying get help there will be 4 more encouraging it
comments jerking him off per usual
genuine lolcow shit lmao
lol who tf
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
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
If u scroll up u can also see him go into a tantrum
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
He is literally lying
ChocoB is my favorite darktide creator
You know why I know he's lying?
Because he doesn't post any screenshot of the convo 💀
okay this is off topic but that fucking comment
"sounds like a woman to me" BRROOOOTHER WHYY
off-topic? here? in vet-chat? impossible
yeah he's the best for sure, just more gameplay oriented
...I have never heard of those people before lol
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.

"if it makes my dick hard its a woman" has changed my mindset on 40k 
tbf this is... starting to change... a little..
I hope so
boltgun canonically a woman in my eyes
🚬
either way maybe its good
good
I'm tired of toxic narasasists dominating competitions in video games
all the sexist racist shit can stay in his chat
quarantined from the rest of the community
I mean it's just what happens when you're good at something
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
not entirely true. it can go two ways
I mean its not hard to develop that when you play with the average PUG
yeah I mean not everyone that is good is a narcissist
TRUUU
personally I felt it was inevitable
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
na they should suffer like I did
so sadly many do not go that route
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
today, my coworkers ate my butter cookies. VENGENANCE
death, kill them
i think its important to know your facts and present opinions
I can understand being mad at someone via skill
But being mad as someone and dodging because they are a woman? 💀
they saved you from those dastardly calories
but acknowledge they are opinions and not gospel
but tasty D:
this is a PvE game atm the end of the day, there is no reason to meta slave this game
nah I mean... if you wanna be a good person or have integrity yes. but winning an argument is never about being right, its about being convincing
play what you enjoy, have fun, win
tbh I'm curious what would happen if a gamedev started a "build guide" channel lol
Idk if u can anymore with Havoc 😔
the fun comes from optimizing builds for a lot of ppl
tell that to the 3 ds in every game i play
;-;

to be fair, the dodge and mobility of DS is just fun
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
game
"i'm wrong? hotfix tomorrow"
best way to convince someone is to bring them over to your point of view. That's not done by shouting at someone and telling them they're wrong
and fair enough to those people!
just let people play how they want
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
We don't need another gameslantern 😔
whats wrong with gameslantern/
well it does matter otherwise you wouldn't be saying they're very clearly incorrect 🙂
Gameslantern is ass tho because it's filter system is fucked
if you can see it, then others can too
people make shit builds
those people are just loud and the desperate flock to them
and then it gets spread around
if 90% of people believe something false and convincing, you're not gonna get much done
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
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
shredder auto pistol
avoid duelling sword
it's never that high though. You will always have those people
melee weapons are basically fine
Don't use the Shredder autopistol lmao
gameslantern mentioned
OH BOY IS IT TIME FOR [SQUAD LEADER BUILD] AGAIN???
Good to know lol
I need the lore on this one
the only weapon that's genuinely bad is Shredder Autopistol imo
agre
top upvoted vet build on games lantern is squad leader and its bad
Squad leader build coming up 👨🏻🏫
DID SOMEONE SAY SQUAD LEADER
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
but it comes up a lot in this chat by people who cant know better
maybe the shovels are? a bit rough
I AM READY TO LEAD THE SQUAD
I know they have good crowd control but like, most weapons do
the og shovel is hilariously very safe and good
my eyessss there it is
yeah it doesn't help that the "squad leader" builds don't really take the best "team" points
googles "veteran squad leader build" >> sits at the back the entire time
og being original gangster and not ogryn
average vet experience
just to clarify
"squad leader"
no field improv
original ogryn..
oo
doesn't even have Born Leader lol
or born leader yea lmao
the one with the thrust? I thought was fun
squad leader
doesn't take born leader.
one job bro
The real question is
the vet shovels all have thrust iirc
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
Me furiously wiping all my builds bcz I’ve relied on gameslantern
💀
or maybe it wasnt h1
you mean the blessing thrust?
i can get meme builds for thematic reasons
nah not the lessing
but this isn't even a good thematic build
you mean the pick axe move
I'm remembering a specific shovel with that good thrust but its been ages since I've looked at em
thoughts and opinions on deadshot w/recon lasgun? wanna try out the gun and heard its a fun way to play it
based.
attaboy. though obviously not all are bad
thats the og shovel, yeah. That one is good
if you have Deadshot, you want a lot of stam curios and Duck and Cover lol
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
Oh shit yall seen the regi recon buil? 💀
I don't look at builds tbh lol
I think they're worth looking at if you're new
though I think the only "controversial" thing I take is the +50% coherency aura
because even if one is wrong you sorta put together a larger idea of the games balance
because I like team buffs c:
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
yes
hmm hmm
that actually affects Shout radius
so can be very good
oh thats cool
the main reason why I take it is so I can be more certain I cover them with VOC
behold: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d799ecb-e636-48b3-b088-df38d767c119/recon-lasgun-jeficus
on top of Focus Target buffs
it just has real strong competition
so more stam/toughness/damage for everyone
SO FUCKING COOOOL
YEES
I was hoping itd be 3x stam curios
i never thought about that but i still think its a wasted point when CK is right there
god I disagree with like
Jef thinks this is a meta build btw 💀
what the fuck
literally every decision in this build outside of the stam curios though
this has to be troll
yah you always take CK, but that other node is not a bad option if you're running shout
made like every mistake possible
also I'm gonna throw out the controversial take now but onslaught is fucking garbage
and a complete waste of ammo
Rending Strikes exists and that's all I need
tbf he took iron will
so good on him lol
I dont even think rending strikes is all that good in most builds....
true lol, I've seen people not take it
On recon it is required
its not like you can go wrong with more damage
Recon has horrible armor Modifyers
because fuck them
have you seen Recon's Maniac ADM?
vet is the least starved for fuckyoucarapace options of any class
its dogshit
I think my recon has +maniac on it
I'm thinking about switching my crit rate to maniac tbh 🤔
doesn't change it has shit ADM vs maniac
guys i need help, is bolt pistol better than spearhead boltgun?
its not so so bad
no, Bolter has bigger mag, full auto, and access to Pinning Fire
ah ok
and duelist sword also the best melee?
or should i change it for something else
its not the best but its up there
with no melee talents the mk6 is really good
it won't fail you
Is it just me or are some dh spawns impossible to sneak past lol
mk6?
mk6 powersword
there are some REALLY annoying spawns
but all of them can be sneaked past
its really good because it doesnt need melee skills to be good
just had one on hab draeko where it blocked the large area before the final elevator
does it look cool?
able to be sneaked past but its like really annoying
just if you go bolt pistol be sure to take deadly accurate or whatever its called
I hugged the wall and still set it off lol
perfect run besides that happening
deadly accurate is goated on the bp, it lets you one shot most things which is huge
because duelist sword looks kind of cool on my character
my usual set up is deadly accurate + surgical + deadshot from skill tree and then a stam curio
I tihkn mk6 looks cool
ah it was triggered
ooo
triggered DH has bigger radius :c
dh keeps getting angry when I shine my flashlight in its eyes...
I just wanna see their face
Rashad 
rashad is better generalist
but duelist sword is waaaay better for elite stuff
like no competition
dueling sword is the min max
nah rashad can oneshot most elites with the lights
there's a mod to give Psword the boss sword effects
what about the heavy sword
pretty neat
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
yeah you need all the melee skills
Psword is the cheapest
its breakpoints are tight
Yeah, Rashad needs the perfect roll. If you do get it, it's so worth it
honestly all of these weapons need some adjustment but
its never gonna happen
the darktide balance team is smokin
they could brick the balance in an instant for funnies
"Removed Brutal Momentum"
you dont need to stagger them really with the ds tho
because your defence is so cracked
and the range poke
when u have 20 ragers on u, u will wish u had a PS or Rashad 😔
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
for this havoc modifiers im wondering if brittle counters the blessed armor? 🤔
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
whats the perfect Rashad stats ?
just dump mobility
perks, the big one is cara but the second is either unarmored or elite
blessings is almost always HT and BM
thaanks
No
When u have 20 ragers on you you’re better off with duelling sword & knife
Just to outrun them
U talking havoc? Or
wait rashad isn't flak cara?
Because Rashad in havoc is like 5 hits to kill a single Dreg rager
flak on vet i dont think makes any breakpoints
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?
Very basic but strong yes
but havoc stats are too crazy i dont think it matters anymore
Wouldn’t call it a “good way to go”
so maniac or elite
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
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
Doesn’t
Weird the buff stays down there but it doesn't actually apply?
It’s “melee weapon’s crit chance”
It just says bonus crit chance for me
Yea, tooltip is super misleading lol
Too lazy to get the mods that unfuck the item descriptions lol
Pretty much every single talent & blessing tooltip is at least partially wrong
I still don't know if I want headtaker ffs
That mod is not accurate either
If u play combat axe it’s just
Carapace + unarmored/elite
Brutal momentum
Headtaker
eh I think maniac can be swapped out for unarmored
atp just let your soul guide how you play
fuck descriptions, fuck builds
your name alone is what's making me say no to that
the breakpoint unarmored gives is adjusted by like.... any stacks of head taker
its nice
but its not must have ultra necessary
😇
Without unarmored/elite you lose Dreg gunner 2HS
with headtaker?
maniac is just nice damage against annoying enemies
idk I've tried both and
both feel almost identical
It doesn’t give u mutant 1 tap
What's a good way to go then? I don't understand the strenght and weakness of all of the guns yet. I just think shouting, plasma and a power sword are cool 😂
rashad is a borin weapon anyway
It doesn’t give u Dreg rager 2 tap
elite covers both ragers and stooped gunners tho
How new are u exactly
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
Maniac on Rashad only really matters in havoc
I just started today morning. I just wanna play at higher diffs that are more intense
I am lvl 13 😂
take +10% xp on all your curios
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
Learn melee first
You mean there's more to just wild swinging?
A lot more yea
I dont really subscribe to the notion its really complex though
I like the power sword but i don't know what the strenghts and weaknesses of the weapons are
most of the complexity is in the build side of things rather than the player mechanics
I use melee to fight hordes and my gun to kill specialists and bigger targets
It.... caaannn be if you're going for vermintide application *sweat
Not that I know if some of the things you can use in vermin are applicable in danktide
its just a good all rounder, the mk6 doesnt really need melee talents to be good which is its primary strength. it has a good push attack combo that deals with bosses and armor
didnt really get all that into vermintide so I cant much compare the two tbh
Strengths
- takes almost no talent investment to be good
- can actually fight everything
Weaknesses
- seriously bad dodges
- may crack under heavy melee pressure
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
That's for the power weapon yeah?
yeah it is
Power sword specifically
are the power sword dodges that bad?
Past that I'd say for someone like me too
Its not over dodging
And relying on block for chaff
Nah
That's something i noticed That's rough and why i wanna build around ranged and controlling my area more. I loaded into the mission where you boss fight the twins and they kept doing nasty things to me in melee
there's basically never a reason to block in this game
Blocking a hit is better than taking a hit if you’re not at 0 stamina
you only overdodge if you run out of dodges then get hit
You have to block more
yeah 100%
but they're not a trade off
I mean
You can just over-dodge and run out of doges
outside of some very specific circumstances
the risk to reward on block is just not good
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
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
I mean this is gonna depend on the class
some weapons have pretty bad dodges but even then they're not the worst
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
You need shocktrooper
theres a skill further in the tree you dont have yet
Which you don't get yet if you're only level 13
You need to learn melee
which makes critical hits not consume ammo
The rule of thumb I was taught was swing-swing-dodge-repeat.
You don't outpace your dodge regen
True but also
Now is the time to learn to block
And parry
To save a dodge
dodging is free
It won't kill your stamina
Well
but you dont need to save dodges? they come back instantly
"Free"
at most you shove once
You used a dodge counter
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
Imo you gotta balance all of it
yeah I mean take some time to experiment a little
dont poison your mind with vet chat stuff yet
Dodges are so useful that when you can't dodge anymore that's when you're in trouble
stuff in here is going to be the 100% optimal
and you dont need that to enjoy the game
variety is good
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.
variety will keep you engaged so you can improve your skill level which is the primary way to get stronger
yeah I mean exactly
The block ones are usually not good
well and challenge yourself by playing harder difficulties
dodging is not only defensively stronger, less of a cost, its also just better
The only good one got nerfed
I meeannn
Yeah I'll experiment now. I just naturally enjoy optimization and higher diffs
Its a cost
