Also glad I have a reason to run heavy laspistol. Can do that as well

short basin
#

Ok thanks

#

61 on one, 80 on the rest. this is possible?

old quail
#

at a very basic level if they just changed all instances of power on generic hit/kill to damage you could at least give it competing utility compared to cleave or impact blessings

#

and then power could be reserved as a Special Reward™️ for doing specific/cool stuff

tall torrent

true jackal
#

this is probably not the best solution, but hopefully at some point they rework stuff like bm and sluaght then just "temporarily" buff the fuck out of the base weapons then they can adjust from there

tall torrent
#

BM is not hard to adjust for

charred pulsar
#

Is there an insane person here who already got the new armor from havoc mode?

tall torrent
#

Reduce BM’s activation count from 3 to 2
Buff combat axe base cleave

terse idol
#

Its just a hard sell to try to sell us new blessings

floral hearth
#

genuine comedy gold

charred pulsar
#

The one taht says "help 50 at havoc" or something

terse idol
#

Even though the old ones are god tier

true jackal
serene bough
#

Agree in concept, but in practice it's pretty difficult to balance for

#

Theres always going to be the best blessing or blessing combo that works better than others for a weapon

true jackal
#

like still make it cleave focused, just not essentially removing a mechanic of the game(hitmass)

serene bough
#

May vary by class, but nevertheless still true

true jackal
#

100%, but some weapons are really only viable becuase of certain blessings

#

axes are the big one

old quail
#

you see it a lot when people go "this will be too strong or too weak" whenever speculating about something

floral hearth
white minnow
old quail
#

there's a very wide range of relative balance positions something can occupy, and you can certainly make the ecosystem more healthy when it comes to darktide's balance by eliminating the stuff that is wildly out of line

white minnow
#

set some reference numbers, balance according to the reference numbers, and call it a day (a very long day)

true jackal
#

ie axes are ment to be single targetish

#

for one this is bad in a horde shooter

terse idol
#

Its not like the worst

true jackal
#

2 they get that weakness removed with 1 blessing

terse idol
#

Sapper shovels are literally this

#

But they got some decroited horde control

#

The issue with combat axe without bm

#

0 cleave

tall torrent
#

Buff base cleave & cleave distribution
Doesn’t need to be very high cleave
Reduce BM’s activation count from 3 to 2
So u could at least cope with strength blessings and not necessarily have to run BM

old quail
#

a "best" blessing combo is a relative term. the problem is when you get borderline asinine blessing allotments like on dclaw

#

that has 3 impact blessings despite being a bladed weapon

true jackal
#

fucking impact blessings

#

love my sword knocking people around

terse idol
#

They could like

#

Give us something for the fucking PARRY

old quail
#

impact blessings aren't even conceptually bad, the problem is they have to do something important, be the only way to get to do that important thing, and cannot exist in a blessing pool where the opportunity cost is too high

terse idol
#

Like the one thing the whole weapon is built around

true jackal
#

one of the new blessings the power sword has would go crazy on the claw

#

the perfect block gives attack speed one

old quail
#

and a lot of the time there just isn't that much thought put into them

terse idol
#

It'd be alright

#

Dclaw still just has no carapace killing

#

And you're still running like

#

Rampag

#

Savage

#

No use in getting attack speed imo where your other blessings just give you damage

old quail
#

dclaw shouldve gotten parry-based blessings and its just a tragedy it didn't

terse idol
#

And the targets you are parrying don't need attack speed to take down

terse idol
true jackal
terse idol
#

Yeah

serene bough
terse idol
#

Like it's not a slow weapon

#

To warrant 10% attack speed on perfect parry

#

maybe ignore enemy armour and give weak point damage on perfect parry

serene bough
#

when I think of something like the ilas, the only two blessings I think of which are definitely worth taking are Ghost and HH

terse idol
#

Anything!

serene bough
#

then there's efficiency lol

true jackal
#

serene bough
true jackal
#

the fucking sword explosion one

terse idol
#

There does need to be a blessing overhaul

terse idol
#

Neat*

true jackal
#

it does like 30 damage

serene bough
#

ill be thinking about mk7 falter when i reach higher havoc rank

terse idol
#

Doesn't kill you, removes 20% heat

serene bough
#

hope it works well

terse idol
#

Because you're not using it for the aoe damage

tall torrent

You're using it to reduce the hea

ye

tall torrent
true jackal
#

they seem afraid to make the funni blessings good

terse idol
#

They gotta be careful

#

At leas

tall torrent
true jackal
#

which was that one

serene bough
#

blessings that trigger on pretty specific circumstances just need to be more substantial to be considered over ones that consistently give more power

tall torrent
white minnow
#

e.g., headtaker

tall torrent
#

The 1 singular good block-related blessing

white minnow
#

it has "head" in the name

#

why it no proc on weakspot hits only

tall torrent
#

And that got nerfed into oblivion

true jackal
#

riposte used to be total shit

#

becuase of how the calcualtions worked, the number it gave just didn't do anything

#

not riposte

#

precog

terse idol
#

I'm conflicted

#

This is giving me helldivers flashbacks

serene bough
white minnow
#

i think all basic on-hit stuff should just have some condition tacked on
headtaker, hammerblow, and dumdum just have the bare minimum of being weakspot/chained/etc.
executor already is chained weakspot so headtaker will serve as the weaker overall but more consistent version

terse idol
#

We are strong but like

#

Damn with a handful of options

white minnow
serene bough
#

i dont think so

#

its more than just numbers, but also how easy to use and how situational it is

white minnow
#

well yeah, and we set the numbers that you get according to the proc conditions

serene bough
#

and eventually, players will gravitate towards what gives the most consistent power the greatest amount of time

terse idol
#

Its also the affect it has on every other class that uses it

white minnow
#

and that's fine

#

if you can make use of those high skill ceiling blessings, then that's good

serene bough
#

thats not including class diversity either

white minnow
#

and that's normal

terse idol
#

Its a ripple

serene bough
white minnow
#

the fact that players are good and get rewarded for it is a natural thing

true jackal
#

there will always be a best, whats important is making sure that it's not the only option

old quail
#

you cannot balance for a perfect equilibrium but you can certainly make relative blessing balance considerably better

serene bough
#

this is true

old quail
#

right now it's a case of 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd place being leagues above all other blessings

tall torrent
#

I should make a meme of veteran havoc starter pack

serene bough
#

efficiency meta when?

true jackal
#

efficency with the auto fire mod on the fastest firing lasgun

tall torrent
#

Efficiency could be good
If it was working much more frequently if not all the time

frank ether
#

return to white weapon

white minnow
#

though it'll have a dubious use case on one of the more ammo-efficient weapon families

tall torrent
#

Also imma be fr they need to remove no respite from a bunch of weapons

terse idol
#

At the very least, different viable combinations would be cool

umbral scaffold
#

Wow, the duel sword is so much more fun than the powe sword for some reason

frank ether
#

reject gamba

#

oh wait

#

gamba is gone

tall torrent
#

No respite does like genuinely nothing outside of shotguns & Helbore

white minnow
#

in that case i would annihilate the concept of efficiency entirely (for the infan lasguns)

terse idol
#

No more gamba

#

Only balanc

true jackal
#

at least it's not limpshitter anymore

tired badge
#

Any tips/cheese on how to get "on overwatch"?

true jackal
#

when it literally made your weapon worse

terse idol
frank ether
#

tbh if you wanna complain about blessings the low hanging fruit is uncanny and hand cannon

terse idol
#

Play in the middle of your team

#

Run voc

#

And be comfortable with the game

true jackal
#

i'd say BM hangs even lower

tired badge
#

So toughness counts but health not?

terse idol
#

On overwatch isn't too hard but it is testing how comfortable with you

#

Yes

#

I mean

old quail
terse idol
#

Toughness doesn't count

white minnow
#

stuff like uncanny is straightforward at least cuz you can just knock that to at least 24% - 30% rending at max
could do something more comprehensive like annihilating rending entirely and replacing the bonus with something else like +weakspot damage

frank ether
#

having super niche blessings isn't the solution either with a lot of weapons just being balanced around those options providing reliable power

#

like chainaxe would suck donkey ass without slaughterer-headtaker

old quail
#

it's one head of the ADM-defiling hydra

terse idol
#

But if you get melee'ed

#

And it bleeds

#

Into hp

#

You fail the penanc

true jackal
terse idol
#

You can get hit once if you have 100% toughness in melee cause it doesn't bleed over iirc

true jackal
#

hence my suggestion earlier of like giga buffing all the "effected" weapons by a sluaght or bm rework/nerf

tired badge
#

Thank u ser, God bless ya

frank ether
tall torrent
#

I think uncanny could be balanced if it was 20% melee rending at 5 stacks

frank ether
#

how does autopistol fare after pinning nerf? tell me

white minnow
terse idol
#

Most guns are okay

#

Besides shrede

#

Lmao!

#

Even recon moving from shit tier to okay

old quail
terse idol
#

Like we're alright rn

white minnow
#

especially if you use vet's talent nodes as reference

true jackal
tall torrent
white minnow
#

OH

#

my bad

#

yeah i agree

tall torrent
#

Because 20% is genuinely not that high

white minnow
#

that's more in line with post-rework rending talents

#

e.g., vet's stuff

tall torrent
#

Ya

#

And make it melee rending

#

So it cannot interact with DOT

old quail
#

does dumdum still stack on teammates

true jackal
#

in theory I like certain things effecting dots, but for like 90% of those things it needs to not do that

white minnow
old quail
white minnow
tall torrent
#

I got a friendly hitmarker from getting stabbed by a teammate’s relic sword yesterday

old quail
terse idol
old quail
#

unless you explicitly made a weapon revolving around its own innate dot application (at which point you'd probably want it to have its own unique dot anyways)

white minnow
#

more-or-less making blessings affecting DoTs to be an "opt-in" feature rather than an "opt-out" feature

old quail
#

yea

white minnow
#

i do not wish to subscribe to uncanny strike burn/soulblaze

#

get me out

tall torrent
#

I reject uncanny strike

old quail
#

it's also one of those things where it's not a stated interacted and does not have any intuitive reason to function like that

old quail
#

so it's another obfuscated knowledge-gate for new players

white minnow
#

they don't know....!!!

true jackal
#

does thrust still work to crank dots

old quail
#

they fixed that many moons ago

white minnow
#

tragic

old quail
#

(and in doing so brought about ye olde thrust bug)

white minnow
#

SHOT in the BACK ALLEY

tall torrent
#

The best bug in the game by far was limbsplitter brutal momentum Helbore bayonet

true jackal
#

I wasn't here for that

old quail
#

i raise you unlimited cleave kant shotgun

#

firing through the walls

true jackal
#

I was here for that tho

old quail
#

it had the same proper psyker shout does/did where you could get dogs off people with it

#

it was beautiful

true jackal
#

I just started bascially wallhacking with it on vet

old quail
#

im sad u dont hit an infinite number of bulwarks with the kant special anymore

hollow ibex
true jackal
#

the combat shotguns kinda are in general

#

it's another thing they seem scared of making good

frank ether
hollow ibex
#

Was hoping to see some balancing in this patch

frank ether
#

in fact nothing got any major nerfs at all, hand cannon got a little slap, which it shouldn't even exist to begin with

tawdry jackal
#

Actually I need to level my zealot so I can set things on fire. I keep forgetting

midnight totem
tall torrent
#

Mainly boring

midnight totem
#

Fair

true jackal
#

tbh the only weapon I use that it's on is the shovel

ocean moat
old quail
#

a lot of hand cannon's utility was from when it was bugged and applied on crits globally (so you'd get stupid shit like dclaw 1 shotting crushers on a crit parry)

frank ether
old quail
#

surgical is also far more egregious. but before it was able to stack to 100% it was straight up useless

old quail
true jackal
#

idk why you are aruging against a theorical world in which they go in and make the game overall healthier

terse idol
#

They really just gotta look at the shredder pistol again

white minnow
true jackal
#

I get what you are saying ,but we are shrimply discussing what would happen in na ideal world

white minnow
#

e.g., bolter buffs afterwards

frank ether
#

bolter got buffed after like a year of reddit crying about it yeah

old quail
#

revolver is another one of those guns where a lot of the alternatives are just hard to stomach even in a vacuum. i don't think i've ever seen someone have more than 2 trick shooter stacks (given most of the time i see someone playing with that blessing it's on an agri) consistently

old quail
#

and then most people i saw using it were running exe stance - which already solved the handling issues

#

(after the handling was improved)

frank ether
#

thats just plain false

#

they buffed it a ton with the crafting rework

dense light
#

Hardened skin is so fun guys oh my gosh i cant believe how absolutely fun hardened skin is definitely one of the modifiers of all time i love shooting the same thing dozens of times and watching all of my dots incrementally whittle away a health pool the size of the atlantic ocean GamerRage

frank ether
#

it is nigh impossible to miss a shot with it now

#

and improved against dogs so you can also delete dog waves with it

#

Idk why you'd magdump dogs with it but you can now

old quail
#

this is what i said

#

if you ran exe stance bolter after patch 14 you had almost identical performance to after unlocked n loaded

tall torrent
# old quail _ _

They changed bolt shots’ hitscan size, and reduced boltgun’s draw time

true jackal
tall torrent
#

In a bandaid fix to address their accuracy problem

old quail
#

patch 14 was statistically much kinder to the bolter, it was a significant finesse/base damage/flak adm bump

frank ether
#

Wasnt that the patch where they made sniper bolter build a thing?

old quail
#

yeah

frank ether
#

which was the build reddit never ever liked

old quail
#

because the finesse bump coincided with surgical

frank ether
#

because it still needed aim and its ads recoil was broken

terse idol
#

Dmr bolter my beloved

frank ether
#

and a significant portion of reddit

old quail
#

you didn't even really have to 'snipe' because you could just run an exe stance build and bodyshot shit

frank ether
#

does not like adsing with bolter

#

and just want to magdump with it

#

I've been hanging in this channel witnessing ''bolter bad'' complains like every week lmao

terse idol
#

I feel at least and you might be memeing, I don't thiiink they take that much stock over reddit opinions

old quail
#

you could do that on zealot with chastise for the longest time but a lot of people had some weird allergy to that

terse idol
#

But I guess it's ther

dense light
terse idol
#

The fatshark dev who's job is it to average out opinions from the discor

#

The reddit

#

And the forums

dense light
#

They probably outsource that too

terse idol
#

Damn they're doing okay

#

If they listened to reddit the plasmagun probably woulda gotten buffed i reckon

old quail
#

it absolutely was

frank ether
#

you can't expect reddit goober to make a playstyle entirely based off of abusing one ultimate under one class

old quail
#

but it also created a sort of cool dynamic where the way a vet and a zealot used the bolter was completely different because they had opposite ways of getting around the handling issue

quaint isle
#

Does the on Overwatch dropping off the edge cheese still work ?

frank ether
#

yeah it was neat

#

I dont think bolter needed much of the recent round of buffs

old quail
#

and while the foundation of that phenomenon was terrible for balance it felt like the most organic class-divergence for a weapon

frank ether
#

it just needed a fix to recoil behavior

old quail
#

yeah

frank ether
#

thats all it truly needed

#

but people cried so much they caved in

#

and now I hit shots that I know should have missed

old quail
#

gun handling in darktide is a very broken system if u really gaze into the abyss

#

but the bolter was eldritch

old quail
#

recoil/sway impulses that pushed the gun downwards

terse idol
#

I love when I shoot my gun and the entire square goes into my face

dense light
#

It'd be crazy if they sourced people's opinions and compared them against a statwall of weapon performance and ability usage and then used the reflecting data to make informed decisions on balancing things instead of - haha ranged gun too good half damage if you want to progress at all brain

frank ether
old quail
#

darktide's gunplay has the issue where the strongest ranged options are always or almost always the ones that interact with the gunplay system the least

#

laspistol, any full auto spray weapon, etc

frank ether
#

I dont like how ads mechanics work, I don't like how spread mechanics work, I dont like any of it

old quail
terse idol
#

Me as I like the bistol with run and gun

frank ether
#

I do not like how some guns have massive head hitboxes while others need pinpoint precision

terse idol
old quail
#

which is really unfortunate

old quail
#

because there's entire burst-dedicated blessings but recoil is strongest on the first few shots of any gun

frank ether
#

or HHs

true jackal
#

the hipfire on the Infantry lasguns still pisses me off

old quail
#

and degrades as you continue to fire

terse idol
#

😌

true jackal
#

I tend to hipfire precisione weapons

obtuse elm
#

Give me a damn muzzle break for my autogun

old quail
#

which means trying to burstfire to control an automatic weapon is the opposite of helpful

true jackal
#

don't know why

#

but I do, been doing it since fucken halo reach

#

I'm knee capping myself

#

The game when it goes against my past knowledge of how gun works

#

true jackal
#

also I hear people talking about one of the IAGs being real good, is it not the agri?

frank ether
terse idol
#

Still preeettyy good

true jackal
#

the fastest one right? (not up to date on the new names of things)

frank ether
#

like I dont think we fix this dilemma by nerfing or nuking dumdum out of the game

#

we could buff the burst fire related blessings sure

terse idol
#

Oh i forgor which

#

Because they did the name change

old quail
#

it also means you don't have as many dials to turn with gun handling because if you set values too high you get utterly awful-to-use handling because the system, as a very angry crustacean puts it, has been designed to make the player experience as miserable as possible in every way

frank ether
#

if only we had a system that let us tune weapon handling

#

cough cough weapon customization

old quail
#

laspistol is the embodiment of a lot of problems but the most damning one is that it's very mobile and doesn't care about things like 'spread' or 'recoil' because u basically just swap, hipfire bad guys, crit like 3 times and problem is solved

frank ether

I feel like a fucking NPC for my teammates on Havoc with hardened skin because I whittle away the enemies health with my Lucius flashlight (which almost always crits because my talents are intensively critical based) only for the revolver Zealot to one tap the viagra-skinned scab gunner that doesn't give a fuck I've been lighting him up for 10 solar cycles

frank ether

It's just silly man - I wanna progress, but I don't want to be playing as a Zealot on my Vet because guns can only light enemies on fire outside of the rare occasion there's a non-erect-skinned NPC Trapper that spawned

knife at least gets the coolest way to fight individual ragers in the game

frank ether

yeah it feels good to pick ragers with it

old quail
#

block-trading a push attack into special punch is so sick i wish ragers didn't spawn in herds

true jackal
#

knife feels like it has the issues that axes have, or rather it should have them, in that its a single taret weapon in a horde shooter, but it can clear decently and still does strong single target

dense light
# static nexus What're the best blessings for helbore?

For Havoc Hardened Skin Run and Hide IV is really good, coupled especially with Don't Even Bother IV. Run and Hide helps to proc Don't Even Bother quicker. For Perks I usually run Headshots Don't Matter which gives you a +20% to finger numbness, and Why Do I Even Have a Gun that adds +20% to your swap weapon speed

#

imo

#

it reminds me a lot of weaves

cyan verge
#

yeah I am not a fan

terse idol
#

Its fun™️

#

Also it just kills uhh

#

All gunners exe

cyan verge
#

I am just going to hit 25 to get my legendary pants

terse idol
#

Ilas

cyan verge
#

and then I will help newbies grind it

terse idol
#

Its not weaves come on

cyan verge
#

and then ima stop

steep grail
#

thats the funny thing

cyan verge
#

I think the mods they chose, are like, O K except I don't think I like the global enemy buffs

#

and I don't like pus skin

#

pus skin isn't fun to play around

#

I melee all the time but in combination with the gunner buffs and such it's seriously not fun to deal with

terse idol
#

Itsnjust so weird to compare them

#

Because weaves you got your weaves weapon

cyan verge
#

didn't play weaves so idk

terse idol
#

Havoc you got your entire loadout

#

Havoc is just

#

Cataclysm

#

Cataclysm + even

cyan verge
#

imo personally I would have made it so

terse idol
#

Weaves is 100% different

cyan verge
#

every single itemized buff to enemies would be its own modifier

#

so there'd be like 150 modifiers

#

and the game can pick more and more from this list, based on a 'cost' list, that it assigns to missions

steep grail
#

ideally they copy more from vt2's homework and give us chaos wastes in this game

#

that'd be awesome

cyan verge
#

I think it'd be good if you could get missions then, where like, enemies have way more HP but have the same base stats otherwise, or like have massively increased attack speed but still base health

#

it'd add more variety and it'd make things, more fair since it's less arbitrarily like oh enemies just, take 50% less damage, lol

#

on top of having more HP

true jackal
#

rogue like in a spacehulk or the depths of tertium would go crazy

cyan verge
#

they'd have to put in some work to make that fit but that would be a fun gamemode probably

steep grail
#

i wish havoc got more interesting earlier on

cyan verge
#

one of the advantages of 'havoc' is they probably didn't need to create many new assets to fill it out...

#

it's all reused levels, a roguelike mode would necessitate kinda taking apart all the maps and turning them into tiles so you can randomly put them together

#

and it'd be a lot of work

#

it would be sweet

#

but it'd never happen

terse idol
#

Years

#

Me as I'm a part poope

#

I DONT GO TO PARTIE

cyan verge
#

but yeah imagine like going up an elevator on throneside and being at the vigil oblivium finale

#

that'd be cool

terse idol
#

Yes chaos wastes would be cool

#

Its gonna take a massive amount of dev time

steep grail
cyan verge
#

... is that what chaos wastes is

steep grail
#

that way it might actually be somewhat comparable to vermintide

terse idol
#

Uh

#

Chaos wastes is a roguelite mode where you start with nothing but your base talents

cyan verge
#

oh interesting

#

maybe I should check it out

true jackal
terse idol
#

And through your run you get currency and buy new weapons and perks

#

Yeah

#

Single runs can last an hour or more

vernal sundial
#

yall prefer infernus + headhunter or infernus + dumdum for recon?

cyan verge
#

isn't it like

#

dumdum/deathspitter or infernus

steep grail
#

why infernus?

#

i have never understood the appeal

true jackal
#

funni fire(idk either)

hollow ibex
#

Helps save ammo

#

Good against bulwarks

steep grail
#

why am i saving ammo on a recon

hollow ibex
#

Because you’re in havoc and your ammo pickups are 15 percent of base

cyan verge
#

true...

hollow ibex
#

Or you’re playing gunker and want to be a good teammate KEKW_ogryn

cyan verge
#

lol

#

those fuckers always stealing my plasma bullets...

vernal sundial
#

i like being ammo efficient even on efficient guns cause i like to be the guy who takes next to 0 pickups

steep grail
#

if i'm playing gunker i've already left the team behind

hollow ibex
#

Gunkers 🤝 Luggers

Hoovering up all the ammo on the map

steep grail
#

difference is that the gunker makes that ammo count

#

the lugger

#

...

#

not so much

true jackal
#

that one rumbler gunlugger in a havok

hollow ibex
#

Idk I usually find them both to be shit for the amount of ammo they take

steep grail
#

if a good gunker is in my lobby they can take all the ammo they want

vernal sundial
#

before patch i enjoyed gunker w ds4, stay in melee 90% of the game and only use columnus for rager packs monsters or if something really needed to just die
think i barely needed pickups if any at all

steep grail
#

gunker is op enough to where im fine with that

hollow ibex
#

There are good lugger and gunker players out there

#

Don’t see them often though

vernal sundial
#

now enough cool weapons are out and im good enough at the game as to where i can use whatever i find fun irregardless of how good it is
ds begone

steep grail
#

i have never seen a good lugger in auric maelstrom

#

i see good gunkers ALL the time

hollow ibex
steep grail
#

they usually have that one mod that lets you replay past maelstroms

remote sonnet
#

Grenadier Vet is just a psyker with slightly longer countdown.

#

How do you think the guy can turn invisible? He was using the psychic to erase his presence from the enemy mind, like Corvus and the Raven Guard.

cyan verge
#

it's everyone's responsibility to not use too much ammo, and to practice, not using too much ammo...

terse idol
#

I dunno like

#

If you're looking ti be ammo efficient

#

why shoot at a monster

#

With a recon

#

Unless you're running unyielding

#

That sounds kinda ba

cyan verge
#

me personally I just stab them

#

with my DS4

terse idol
#

I don't even know the unyielding mod for recons

cyan verge
#

and they die

#

really hard

tall torrent
terse idol
#

Ew

broken spade
#

I think you generally just want to melee bosses in havoc to save ammo

loud belfry
#

getting only 19 bullets out of an ammo tin when I normally get 76 is wild

good thing psykers and ammo regenerative vets exist

broken spade
#

there isn't even a "i'm blowing ammo to nuke it for an emergency" justification a lot of the time.
I don't think you can nuke the bosses. better off dumping on everything around the boss

hollow ibex
terse idol
#

HmMmMMMmm

#

The question then is

#

Is it even worth it

hollow ibex
#

It is

terse idol
#

When you can run a better blessing

hollow ibex
#

I like letting things burn to death 😊

true jackal
#

dots are generally pretty good vs unyielding iirc

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

Bleed is not very high unyielding damage (stacks drop too fast)

cyan verge
#

beast of nurgle is somewhat annoying to melee sometimes

hollow ibex
#

It’s pretty nice being able to burn out bulwarks even when their shield is up

true jackal
#

I see

night sparrow

anyone have a link to a stagger calculator? trying to figure out what bps i need for the shock maul

broken spade
pastel yew
rustic kite
#

A little someone gave me an idea for a commando build for a high mobility build would the Revolver or Lazpistol be best

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

it makes meleeing that boss very annoying

tall torrent
#

Recon shock trooper + infernus

pastel yew
#

I imagine dots are pretty good with the inflated health pools

#

since they're % basedf

true jackal
#

they aren't % based

broken spade
#

they're not but dots are good

pastel yew
#

they do a flat amount depending on enemy type/~

tall torrent
#

DOTs are good vs hardened

#

Since hardened only reduces ranged damage taken

pastel yew
#

because max bleed stacks does different amounts in different enemies it seems

true jackal
#

it's just a set number based on the enemies health type

pastel yew
#

ahhh gross

pastel yew
#

why do it like that boowomp

rustic kite
#

Does terrifying blaze work when getting a melee kill?

tall torrent
#

What’s terrifying blaze

rustic kite
#

Or is it exclusive for that weapon

pastel yew
#

sounds like a psyker thing

true jackal
#

terrifying barrage I assume

rustic kite
#

Oh yea

tall torrent
#

Terrifying barrage is dogshit do not run that ever

pastel yew
#

is that like.. suppression the more you fire at once?

#

what even do it do

rustic kite
#

I just need the supress for penance

pastel yew
#

mmh

true jackal
#

you supress enemies directly around you after kills

pastel yew
#

run the uhh

rustic kite
pastel yew
#

autopistol lmao

true jackal
#

the issue is what enemies can be surpressed, most the ones that can be supressed you aren't gonna be in melee range with

pastel yew
#

doesnt that have mad suppression

tall torrent
#

Unless you mean ogryn penance

rustic kite
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

didnt know reapers could be suppressed

#

that one feels kinda silly

true jackal
#

it would suck if they couldn't

pastel yew
#

are reapers... that bad?

stuck gorge
#

isnt reaper supression when theyre covering their face with their elbow?

true jackal
#

can be

pastel yew
#

they fuck you up if you have no toughness I think

#

but idk I've never found them to be an issue really

rustic kite
#

Mhm and what pistol should i use for my fast paced Infil build Lazpistol, Revolver or Boltpistol

charred pulsar
#

What is the dump stat for combat blade?

pastel yew
#

they're just a gunner with a taller body

tall torrent
# pastel yew didnt know reapers could be suppressed

Don’t worry abt it too much because
In normal games they die before they get to shoot u
In havoc you die before you get to suppress them
And havoc’s cranial corruption modifier makes infected enemies suppression-immune

true jackal
#

they shred real hard now, esp on havok

stuck gorge
pastel yew
#

boltpistol ... that things goated

stuck gorge
#

also they could move around before the update that made every gunner move when firing

true jackal
#

mainly they either get supressed or killed before they are an issue

pastel yew
#

honestly thats a lame condition

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

whats got em so good?

true jackal
#

gunners and shooters in havok

pastel yew
#

bap bap

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

mmh I see

rustic kite
#

Is there a website eith all the gun stats?

tall torrent
#

I’m not joking when I say smoke is veteran havoc meta

pastel yew
#

its about time

#

smokes got their moment

hearty panther
#

I forgot what it was like to utterly shit my pants at the sound of a shotgun cocking

true jackal
#

with reduced toughness and no toughness gate, they can eat you alive

pastel yew
#

I'm gonna dislike playing around them but

#

I suppose I dislike beng dead more

#

are there any havoc conditions that increase cooldown ?

tall torrent
true jackal
#

"back in my day" on launch I think shotgunners ignored the toughness gate anyway, they where a fucking menace

stuck gorge
pastel yew
#

that feels like a sure fire way to make the game harder

#

gameslantern has all the stats but

hearty panther
#

good thing shotgunners dunno how to slam fire

pastel yew
#

it's not going to be very useful to the average player tbh

stuck gorge
pastel yew
#

shooters being goated opens up more options for being good though

#

weapons that are generally good at clear become a nicer option

#

as before you just took whatever one taped elites

tall torrent
#

Zealot havoc meta is DS4 + flamer

pastel yew
#

ds4 meta? who could have seen this coming

pastel yew
#

I love that they buffed the thammer inthe same patch they added that to zealot

tall torrent
#

Veteran havoc meta is axe + plasma/laspistol/infantry lasgun

pastel yew
#

thammer buffs, also here's an infinitely better weapon

true jackal

at least you take more interesting abilities in it

pastel yew

infantry lasgun being meta is baller

is havoc 40 that difficult?

thats what you got the flamer for I guess

tall torrent
pastel yew

tall torrent
#

Specialization is key

pastel yew
#

it just.. doesnt have much else goin for it KEKW

pastel yew
#

I guess you just need premade stacks if its that bad

serene sage
#

does it feel somehow easier? cause I swear enemies health feels lower.

pastel yew
#

what havoc level are you

#

ive heard it starts at malice

#

if you do normal maelstrom you start at 1

#

if you do the auric one you start at 16?

broken spade
#

1-10 is malice i think

serene sage
#

I started at 16

tall torrent
#

1-10 is malice
11-20 is heresy
21-30 is damnation

serene sage
#

okay that makes sense

pastel yew
#

thats a lot of grind to get to new harder content...

#

thats a lot of using the bad party finder

steep grail
#

yes exactly

serene sage
#

why would they do that... I only play auric

steep grail
#

its why havoc is kind of in a poor state

serene sage
#

and they dont keep track of that?

pastel yew
serene sage
#

don't we have achievement for that

pastel yew
#

even though theyve continuously made the game easier at the cost of high skill players

#

high skill players finally get what they want and its gated behind heresy grind and a shit group finder

serene sage
terse idol
#

Wtf! I beat a auric yesterday with my friend and we didn't get havoc

serene sage
#

so I don't have to grind the first few levels

terse idol

Dukane was still like "you are bitches still"

pastel yew
serene sage
pastel yew
#

classic fatshark fashion tho

#

get hyped for thing

#

thing releases bad

#

thing will be good in a few months

serene sage
#

I mean it's not a big issue but like why put people through the extra hoop

pastel yew
#

the extra hoops are enough to make me not really want to do it

serene sage
#

yeah especially with the wierd match making

fiery raft
#

yo

pastel yew
#

why not just separate let you quickplay into games within your tier

fiery raft
#

so, im doing kind of a generic shout build

#

ill send a ss

#

im just curious, what's a good weaponf or it?

serene sage
#

again, not a big thing but some of the decisions are so wierd

fiery raft
#

im working with the vraks mk5 rn

#

i like it

pastel yew
#

I mean shout doesnt really combo with any weapon per se, you'll get the most value out of it with close range stuff

fiery raft
#

but it just feels like a peashooter

pastel yew
#

there are some weapons that do damage based on stagger but

fiery raft
#

which ig is the point

serene sage
#

generic shout can just take PS and Plasma

fiery raft
#

i see

pastel yew
#

I have no idea what the vraks mk5 is

fiery raft
pastel yew
#

they changed all the names

fiery raft
#

basically a run n gun smhg

#

smg*

serene sage
#

and be the most vanilla player

pastel yew
#

yeah but theres three of them

serene sage
#

again nothing with that though

pastel yew
#

is the new vraks the old columnus?

fiery raft
#

i think so

pastel yew
#

I mean seems fine

fiery raft
pastel yew
#

powersword

fiery raft
#

oh right

serene sage
#

^

#

or

fiery raft
#

man i have a 60 mobi ps and i wish it was cleave targets

pastel yew
#

though yeah I mean any build fits shout

#

because every build takes the node before shout

serene sage
#

if you want something slightly different but not too different, take combat axe and bolter

pastel yew
steep grail
#

power sword is gross

pastel yew
#

mk6 power sword is fun

steep grail
#

icky weapon

fiery raft
steep grail
#

i like dodging too much

fiery raft
#

?

pastel yew
#

it works out as more cleave than the cleave blessings

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

but the cleave blessings are betting in havoc maybe?

serene sage
#

shouldn't you be dodging more on the PS anyway cause you lose charge if you get hit?

steep grail
fiery raft
#

you dont think?

#

i quite like uncanny

pastel yew
#

could just piggy back my way into good games

steep grail
#

not really,

wooden oar
#

What's a good revolver build for Havoc?

fiery raft
#

what do you htink?

steep grail
#

most builds that benefit from uncanny can just be made better somewhere in the tree

pastel yew
#

I think just objective best blessings on the power sword are power cycler and brutal momentum

#

its one of those unfortunate weapons with 0 fun decision making

serene sage
pastel yew
#

like the rashad

tall torrent
fiery raft
pastel yew
#

there is just an objective best ;-;

#

ohh

fiery raft
#

i like sapper shovel

pastel yew
#

I have no idea

#

dont use the shovels

#

bonk bonk

serene sage
#

and we have to grind, so we have to jump the hoop

fiery raft
#

but

#

shovel

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

uncanny is usually good

tall torrent
#

Sunder has uses

pastel yew
#

sunder for havoc?

quiet valley
#

Laspistol MK X is havoc 40 carry, Plasma can suck it

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

It’s not “required” on other weapons that has uncanny available

wooden oar
steep grail
narrow frost
#

saldar wants havoc 40 to show neo

quiet valley
#

You only need uncanny on shovel if you have no armor solution

pastel yew
proven cargo
#

Scabs get the fuck on, we have to speedrun I need my havoc skins

pastel yew
#

unless you're running the like.. flip to one shot with thrust I have no idea

fiery raft
#

so probably

quiet valley
true jackal
#

100% rending is fair;y hard to beat, esp since they made over 100% give a damage bonus or w/e

steep grail
#

because like I said uncanny's niche can usually be fulfilled somewhere in the tree

fiery raft
#

this is the vraks

pastel yew
#

ahh yeah vraks is the old columnus

quiet valley
#

Skullcrusher, Decimator shits on hordes

steep grail
#

it also depends on what ranged weapon you're pairing with the shovel too I suppose

terse idol
#

Urgh

#

Weapon name changes my beloathed

fiery raft
#

yeah, this thing sucks balls and weenie at killing crushers and the like

#

so i think uncanny shovel could work

pastel yew
steep grail
#

the columnus?

pastel yew
#

its just confusing

steep grail
#

just take onslaught

pastel yew
#

onslaught is trash

steep grail
#

lol

pastel yew
#

waste of ammo

tall torrent
#

If u gotta take onslaught to kill crushers, u might as well take uncanny

pastel yew
#

literally waste bullets, to be able to kill an enemy with more bullets

#

when you could run kraks or a melee weapon

quiet valley
#

^

true jackal
# pastel yew they did what..

as far as I am aware it's like a 4% rending for 1 % damage or something, they like completely redid how rending and brittleness works at one point and I am not super up to date on it

pastel yew
#

I might be too much of an ammo goblin and its making me sleep on it but onslaught is pretty garbage

quiet valley
#

Onslaught trash on anything except recon las, and even so I’d never run it

steep grail
pastel yew
#

I mean it wont make much difference usually I'd imagine but

narrow frost
#

@quiet valley

this?

yours

onslaught has not once given me ammo trouble

pastel yew

well true but the brittle applies for EVERYONE

not just yourself

terse idol

Its jus

Kinda ba

#

Bad

tall torrent

why would I care about brittleness for everyone if I'm one shotting the enemy

terse idol

People build for their own breakpoint

pastel yew

I dont need them to assist

pastel yew
quiet valley
narrow frost
#

forgot

terse idol
#

Unless your team is literally not building their breakpoints it's actually not useful

#

Like

pastel yew
#

shoot an enemy 16 times to get... 40%? rending

terse idol
#

You run the rending talent on your recon las because it's for you

quiet valley
#

Building brittleness only good on trauma imo, maybe can opener

terse idol
#

You're using it to get a shorter time to kill

steep grail
#

I don't actually path down to onslaught with a recon las

terse idol
#

Not that it'll help your team

true jackal
#

can openner is mainly for you as well tbh

terse idol
#

Thats crazy

tall torrent
quiet valley
#

Onslaught pathing is shit too

tall torrent
#

Onslaught

steep grail
#

I was saying in the first place that onslaught makes columnus not entirely worthless against armor

terse idol
#

I mean urgh

pastel yew
#

I mean I agree that it does what its meant to do

#

I just dont think what it does is very good

terse idol
#

I'm building the recon on the perspective of choosing no keystones

#

And giving full support to the recon

quiet valley
#

You should build to your weapon strengths, not cope with onslaught

terse idol
#

With onslaught

pastel yew
#

if you are deadset on shooting armor with the columnus then yeah take it

terse idol
#

Its not cope?

pastel yew
#

there are just other ways

terse idol
#

Tf

terse idol
#

Yes I'm building to my weapon strength

pastel yew
#

you have 3 bits of kit

#

make them specialists so you have a best in class at everything

terse idol
#

It has fast firing and can stack onslaught immediately

steep grail
#

if I take recon I'm taking marksman's focus 90% of the time

pastel yew
quiet valley
#

If your ranged is bad at armor, you have kraks or melee option

pastel yew
#

by just meleeing them or krak

steep grail
#

I refuse to be told otherwise this keystone is actually really good

terse idol
#

Purel

fiery raft
#

im tesitng out the folding shovel

terse idol

Purely

fiery raft
#

why is the folding part kind of goated??

terse idol
#

For the talents

#

Yes I'm taking onslaugh

pastel yew
#

even for a gun with infinite ammo it sounds bad like

#

its just slow

fiery raft
#

i tested on a crusher damnation and almost one shot

#

with a charged heavy granted

pastel yew
#

if you want to never use melee though then yeah fairs

terse idol
#

Because I'm building the entire weapon around it's strengths

#

Uh

#

Alot of the talents you choos

#

For recon

steep grail
#

is the push attack crit oneshot still a thing with power sword

terse idol
#

Are applicable for mele

pastel yew
#

yeah

#

tbf I dont think thats THAT degenerate

terse idol
#

This is very weird to imply that me choosing talents don't also apply to everything else on the weapon i use

steep grail
pastel yew
#

it's good though

terse idol
#

Bradley come on man

quiet valley
#

I love the MKIII folding shovel but honestly uncanny standard nearly does the same with no mobility penalty with uncanny

steep grail
#

power sword is generally a degen weapon though imo

pastel yew
#

like

fiery raft
pastel yew
#

its slow

#

it wastes ammo

terse idol
#

For most weapons

fiery raft
terse idol
#

For the fucking recon

fiery raft
#

kind of basic

pastel yew
#

for all weapons?

terse idol
#

You're building for it

pastel yew
#

why would you build for that

#

take kraks

#

take a melee weapon

umbral scaffold
#

Is Plasma+Dueling sword+Shrapnel grenades a good combo?

pastel yew
#

your primary weapon is a stabber

terse idol

Uh

#

Because you're building a recon building????

steep grail
tall torrent
#

Vraks V wants that 5% crit chance node

terse idol

Keystoneless recon is valid

fiery raft

plasma dueling sword is Uber meta

pastel yew
fiery raft

i guess that makes sense actually

pastel yew

you're dropping your keystone

to take onslaughttt

that's such a bad trade

terse idol

I'm dropping it to take every single talent for the recon

tall torrent

how are keystones not

applying to the recon?

I mean

fiery raft
terse idol

They're fine

umbral scaffold
#

I am trying to defeat the twins with that and i do so much damage, but my mates fail to stay alive or do some horde clearing

steep grail
#

the marksman focus keystone is the best possible support you can get for the recon

#

I am not joking

terse idol
#

You make mileage out of keystoneless recon
