its guaranteed crits

somber axle
#

guaranteed crits on 1 shot

dry cloak
#

you mean 1 plasma shot yes?

somber axle
#

yeah

#

it's only the first shot after swap

dry cloak
#

then yes

dry cloak
somber axle
#

yes and only for the first shot

#

you don't get guaranteed crits on follow up shots with the buff active

#

only ranged attack speed

bitter turtle
#

you get fire rate during the duration

#

but yea

#

only first shot gets the guaranteed crit

#

do you have any idea

#

how busted it would be

#

if it was guarnateed crits for 10 seconds or someshit

#

that would be insane

somber axle
#

if you swap melee and dunk on another 3 poxwalkers before swapping again with a Rashad you can just be fast about crits but like

dry cloak
#

i m ceraitn i get whole revolver clip of crits. but i wont argue

steep grail
bitter turtle
#

revolver has about 50% crit base if you run deadshot

somber axle
#

if you're not critting follow up shots are going to miss breakpoints unless you're at high stacks of Blaze Away or Rising Heat yeah?

bitter turtle
#

here

#

it says on the tooltip itself

#

"ranged critical hit chance on your next shot"

#

they even make sure to differentiate the fire rate buff

dry cloak
#

my build goes something like this so no deadshot

somber axle
bitter turtle
#

yeah it would be pretty much guaranteed under those conditions

#

though they have no deadshot

somber axle
#

25% Rec, 25% DS, Surg 30%, 5% Vet base

steep grail
#

what a strange tree

dry cloak
bitter turtle
#

missing a lot of important typical elements on vet trees

steep grail
#

i just never see vet builds that don't dip into the other two bottom rows

somber axle
#

a lot of investment into Infiltrate when most do 1, maybe 2 modifiers at most

#

but also yeah that

bitter turtle
#

tac awareness on the middle

#

precision strikes on the left

#

mostly

dry cloak
#

also 8 points are still free

somber axle
#

no Iron Will, no Precision Strikes, no Tactical Awareness

#

that's a wild tree

steep grail
#

weakspot damage, elite damage and extra ammo is like the holy trinity of every vet build i make

#

i can't live without them

#

can't recall the names of all three talents

bitter turtle
#

i would say

#

weakspot damage, tac awareness, and iron will

#

are the holy trinity

#

ive literally never made a build without those 3 at this point

somber axle
#

they're just universally useful on like all builds and so low investment unless you really worm it up zig zagging near the top and middle

steep grail
#

i think ive made a build without tactical awareness for exe stance

bitter turtle
#

oh

#

that would be possible

somber axle
#

that's fair

bitter turtle
#

though no iron will still is StellaSip

steep grail
#

ahh

#

well it was a build for pre-made teams tbf

bitter turtle
#

just dont get hit right?

#

ez

steep grail
#

i was never actually gonna fight anything in melee

dry cloak
#

i dont get hit if everything is dead

steep grail
#

anything that i would be afraid of at least

dry cloak
#

by power of antax and double barrel

buff veteran

dry cloak
#

bodying crushers on the daily

steep grail
#

buff everyone until the game is unplayable

dry cloak
somber axle
#

buff veteran... man could you imagine if they had muscle sliders so people could be more than twig

#

more model variation than tall vs short

frank ledge
#

Darcy was right about Veteran

We need BIG BICEPS

dry cloak
#

veteran after buff

polar quiver
somber axle
#

I would love if they made the Vets beefier tbh LOL

polar quiver
#

and lets be real if youre looking like that on the 40k corpse starch diet you'd be unit if you had a proper surplus

somber axle
dry cloak
somber axle
polar quiver
#

we need

#

extra rations

somber axle
#

I got all Ogryn penances and was kinda done

#

I love seeing Ogryns in matches, I don't like playing them

somber axle
#

I love the rock LOL

#

but Recons...

polar quiver
#

i like ogryns because they always do some silly shit

#

and who doesnt like the big boom

dry cloak
#

remember ogryns are statistically most inteligent players

steep grail
#

ogryns who are actually good are scary

somber axle
#

idk who the most intelligent players are tbh but they have a very pretty guide

polar quiver
#

now imagine if ogryn didnt get nerfed like every time

dry cloak
#

imagine if ogryn lorewise

somber axle
#

I do remember seeing a lot of Ogryns using shield and literally just shield special in the middle of a hallway scared and refusing to move during waves when I was newer to the game LOL

polar quiver
#

imagine if lore friendly bolter would kill us instantly for daring to shoot it

steep grail
#

imagine if they paid any attention to ogryn's weapons and brought them up to pickaxe level

somber axle
#

now I mostly see Ogryns with stubbers asking for an extra tin or pack

dry cloak
#

the human sized one

somber axle
#

Ogryn needs more love for sure

steep grail
#

lore accurate thunderhammer leaving a crater in the ground whenever you whiff with it

polar quiver
#

i thought they just did some funny rule bending because its cool as fuck

somber axle
#

Ogryn power fist when

bitter turtle
#

Our weapons are the bargain bin versions

somber axle
#

let them punch

dry cloak
bitter turtle
#

Thats why the thammer prebuff was getting blocked by poxwalkers

#

And psword turns itself off every 3 swing

dry cloak
#

obese fish just doesnt allow to use them

polar quiver
somber axle
steep grail
#

obese stinky fish

#

hates ogryn

polar quiver
#

swing the relic blade and its rusty and breaks in half on carapace contact

bitter turtle
#

I hate ogryn too

#

Doing the penances was

dry cloak
bitter turtle
steep grail
#

i hated ogryn penances

bitter turtle
#

Can't stand being slow

polar quiver
#

give ogryn brass knuckles

somber axle
#

the pickaxe and new stubber are nice steps in the right direction to make Ogryns more interesting because like if they didn't have pickaxes what even would be Ogryn melee meta right now?

polar quiver
#

or morbius steel knuckles

somber axle
#

only shields...

dry cloak
#

or folding shovel

somber axle
#

I loved the shield when I did play Ogryn though

polar quiver
#

power maul kinda ok

somber axle
#

the Ogryn Enforcer set + shield Enforcer skin looks SO good

dry cloak
#

paul still needs love

#

or general rework from the ground up

#

adn variants

polar quiver
#

maybe the knife?

#

ogryn knife fun

dry cloak
#

mk4 is better than the other 2

somber axle
#

Ogryn knife so you can pet the dog (slap a pox hound in a corner for 5 minutes until it dies)

dry cloak
#

knives have punches

polar quiver
#

no idea the mark name i mainly used the one that looked like the stabby one but isnt

dry cloak
#

clubs have slaps

somber axle
#

clubs for petting

#

maybe they should just give Ogryn knife a blessing that makes their punches buffed or something

bitter turtle
#

Since my partner plays paul

dry cloak
#

paul is short for powermaul

#

atleast in this community

bitter turtle
#

Yes I gathered

#

I did say just for a second

dry cloak
#

clubs also need love

#

ogryns generally need more weapons

bitter turtle
#

New ogryn weapon

#

Even bigger stick

#

Something something heavy attacking

#

Very slow

#

There you go

#

Hire me fs

dry cloak
#

nah

#

fists

#

fists are what we need

#

and ogryn tree needs a rework

#

same as zealot

upper crest
#

does the bleed damage on shredder count for long bomb?

dry cloak
upper crest
somber axle
#

man I just went to count Vet weapons vs Ogryn weapons

dry cloak
#

and trash is dead near the epicenter

somber axle
#

we have 58 different weapons

#

they have 26

#

Ogryn needs more weapons

tacit sonnet
#

ogryn need a talent tree rework more than anything

dry cloak
dry cloak
#

thats a piority

somber axle
#

I just went to the total list of all weapons then separated by class and counted it up

tacit sonnet
#

Right now ogryn has 2,5 builds. Heavy attacks with charge, heavy attacks with taunt and gun

#

That's it

#

There's literally nothing else

dry cloak
#

yup

#

its still better than 1.5 build zealot has

tacit sonnet
#

That's not true

#

zealot has a lot of builds

somber axle
#

Vet has access to 58 different weapons and Ogryn at 26 if we count variants

tacit sonnet
#

Like, until death and fotf

#

or until death and chorus

#

or until death and...

#

uhhhhh

polar quiver
#

or until death and thunder hammer shroudfield thing

tacit sonnet
#

yea

#

exactly

#

That's already more than ogryn

polar quiver
#

until death is just really good

tacit sonnet
#

Ogryn has less builds than there are talent trees

upper crest
dry cloak
#

give us this

polar quiver
#

surely theres some talents u always take on any class

tacit sonnet
#

There are 3 whole trees of talents and that's not enough for even 3 builds

dry cloak
#

no i mean what ever stands near the center of explosion will die

tacit sonnet
#

psyker and zealot probably have the most must take talents

polar quiver
#

im a zealot apologist tho so take what i say with a grain of salt

dry cloak
#

also why cant they give ogryn jsut fuck of big revolver

tacit sonnet
dry cloak
#

ogryns are smarter than they look

#

and worst of all

tacit sonnet
#

Other guns are just aim and shoot. And even aiming is not required sometimes

dry cloak
#

james workhop must agree

broken spade
#

like okay, 3 of the staves have the exact same builds

#

but 1 of them is different!

#

and there's gunspsyker

dry cloak
#

sword psyker

#

shield

tacit sonnet
#

I have like 13 builds on psyker

dry cloak
#

i have 3

tacit sonnet
#

At least half of those must be somewhat unique

dry cloak
#

shriek, shield, SC

tacit sonnet
#

I have like 5 different SC builds

dry cloak
#

i have one just for the big sword

broken spade
#

that being said, way more variety than zealot ever sees

tacit sonnet
#

Columnus
more melee focused
smite
surge staff
assail
some gun other than columnus

tacit sonnet
#

They all utilize almost exclusively the right/middle side of the tree

broken spade
#

I think I have like 8 psyker builds

#

probably the same amount of zealot builds, but like half the zealot builds are like literally the same tree

#

and the ones that aren't are just a different ability or keystone

#

I get to make 2 decisions when planning my tree

#

huge

tacit sonnet
#

I still don't understand the difference between zealot keystones

#

All zealot keystones are damage, damage or damage

dry cloak
#

i have whole 3 zealot builds. charge with blazing piety. chorus marty build. and ranged zealot

polar quiver
#

martyrdom too

#

ij for thunder hammer

austere mica
#

IJ is the only keystone that works for everything

tacit sonnet
#

Crits that give damage
Damage and attack speed (attack speed is still just more damage)
Dodge buffs (that give damage)

austere mica
#

Vet is just damage damage and damage

tacit sonnet
#

True

#

But at least it's different damage

#

Left keystone I just never use

austere mica
#

Wow hipocracy

#

I didn’t even have to call it out

tacit sonnet
#

focus target is damage, and right is damage but for melee

tacit sonnet
#

If you think about it, every single keystone in this game is just damage except feel no pain

#

And feel no pain is a very bad keystone

#

questions?

austere mica
#

BLO doesn’t give damage

dire olive
#

Well, sometimes it's damage + other thing

tacit sonnet
austere mica
#

As a subnode

#

On the class with the worst finesse across the board

tacit sonnet
#

It also gives you a chance to not consume bullets, still more damage

#

It's all damage

austere mica
#

If conserving ammo is damage every single node in every tree is damage

steep grail
#

yes

#

you're opening your eyes

austere mica
#

No actually, I’m closing them because it’s 3am

dire olive
#

Unfortunate timezone

thin stone
#

can someone pass a veteran tree for havoc 40

#

Is this a good one?

ocean shell
#

Yep

edgy sluice
#

My option

#

I see people using a laser pistol more often. So mb it is really better

polar quiver
#

(not havoc related) the recon lasgun feels kind of like it does, zero damage?

#

might just be too used to my ranged weapon hitting like a cannon tho

edgy sluice
#

Bad damage to carapace big guys

polar quiver
#

makes sense

#

i was using weird auto generated blessings and basically only got to shoot at crushers and monstrosities

edgy sluice
#

You can try revolver

#

Very fun to play

polar quiver
#

yeah usually ive been using plasma gun, a bolt weapon or revolver

edgy sluice
#

Plasma is OP but not fun for me

polar quiver
#

those just hit harder , makes sense with the recon lasgun having like, 200 ammo and shooting so fast

polar quiver
#

i just heard dueling sword is crazy and psyker inferno staff

edgy sluice
#

Yep it is

#

Dueling sword kills crusher with 2 strong attacks

#

And has staggering alt-attack that can stun ragers, crushers, mutants

polar quiver
#

yeah dueling sword kinda shreds everything

dry cloak
#

yes its meta

#

but meta is not always fun

polar quiver
#

and horde clear is manageable even if the lights are not supposed to be good for it

dry cloak
#

it can be yes

polar quiver
#

you fly around anyway

dry cloak
#

i use dueling sword on psyker

#

where is should have stayed

polar quiver
polar quiver
dry cloak
#

shotguns are fun

polar quiver
#

i didnt play psyker when i played first time around like 1.5 years ago

dry cloak
#

until september bueling sword was psyker exclusive

#

heavy sword was zealot exclusive

polar quiver
#

heavy sword feels so smooth

#

its like you are dicing an onion sometimes

dry cloak
#

its trash agains armor

#

but it shreds horde

#

i have martyrdom heavy sword build on zealot

#

and it good

#

remember

#

you dont need to play aurics or havoc to have fun

#

just make builds that are fun for you

polar quiver
#

i rlly like the greatsword thunderhammer and eviscerator on zealot

#

biiiig weapons

dry cloak
#

yes

#

thammers are nice but require thinking

polar quiver
#

thunderhammer is pure euphoria when u bonk a monstrosity for big hp chunk

dry cloak
#

yup

finite hawk
#

"thinking"? Wut dat? loregryn

polar quiver
#

me no think me see big enemy me press shroudfild me go bonk

#

give eat orange me eat orange orange give eat orange give me eat orange

dry cloak
#

so do i with charge

#

im talking about horde clear with hammer

#

its not particularly great

polar quiver
#

u just swing heavies kinda like bardin 2h hammer in vermintide

dry cloak
#

yep

polar quiver
#

even if it doesnt kill stuff it still gigastaggers everything

dry cloak
#

yes

polar quiver
#

XII

manic echo
#

XII is the shittiest

#

use MK6 or 14

#

XII is just shoot fastest and also consume alot of ammo too I think

#

VIc abit slower fire rate than XII but way more dmg and the most ammo efficient

#

then there 14 that it do like 141 dmg per shot

steep grail
#

xii is the most popular for some reason

manic echo
#

14 literally kill maniac flak armor in like 6-7 shot

#

assume headshot

#

xd

steep grail
#

yeah 14 does very good damage

#

i believe it's the best of the recons at specialist killing

manic echo
#

and you have like 108 max capacity with over a thousand ammo in reserve

#

when you fire the thing it consume 2 ammo per shot but not like it's big dea

#

when you have talent that make lasgun consume no ammo when crit for a second

#

there also plasma pistol

#

but I kinda hate it

#

but that just me

hallow drift
#

How do you break this in someone?

#

Best mate dying in high diff only fills my ears with, “I just hate that Fartshart removed the way I like to play the game” and no way to say “Brother, learn to swing your shovel”

tough tiger
#

Cave his skull in with a shovel 🥺

broken spade
#

tell him "skill issue"

#

surely it will help

swift river
#

Trying to complete the Infiltrate suppression and Smoke Grenade penances, how's this build look?

dry cloak
#

good

edgy sluice
steep grail
#

no WAY that's it

#

more than likely its probably just because the idea of "haha lmg lasgun" is funny and most people dont care about optimization

sand carbon
#

Does the plasma gun have a dump stat? Reading a lot of old and conflicting info online about charge rate being dump stat, or sometimes 71 charge rate being optimal. Is there a definite consensus on this these days?
Edit: Nvm just saw the pins, mb

edgy sluice
edgy sluice
#

Recon lasgun 12

ocean shell
#

I see

swift river
#

I still use the VIc

ocean shell
#

I only use the recon lasguns on my psyker

#

On my vet I prefer the infantry lasgun, bolt pistol, or plasma gun

edgy sluice
#

And in havok there are lot of yellow booger-driped enemies, I think they take less damage from a shot, but normal from infernus, but I may not be right

thin stone
swift river
#

It's not bad, just not as useful. It's just 5% movement speed

#

When compared to extra Damage or extra Ammo, I'd rather take either of those

edgy sluice
#

Both look weak i think

thin stone
#

Can you explain why you chose this build

#

@edgy sluice

#

I built the top of the tree same as urs

#

just bottom is different

#

here take a look

edgy sluice
#

Ok, few mins

thin stone
#

rest top of the tree is same as urs

edgy sluice
# thin stone

i took bring it down for more boss and reaper dmg, keystones too

thin stone
#

Oh

edgy sluice
#

it does a lot of damage to bosses especially if you hit weakpoints and uses stimms i think

thin stone
#

I see

#

Have you done Havoc 40 with this build?

edgy sluice
#

yep

thin stone
#

I will try this build for now

#

thanks for your help

edgy sluice
#

looks similar, but with a more melee focus

#

and i think toughness is not usefull on high havok

#
  1. Most of the time you are in gold toughness mode
  2. Due to the fact that the max toughness decreases with each level 17 percent in numerical size mean less and less
  3. if you mess up you'll still die immediately
scenic ginkgo
#

What's the dump stat on plasma gun?

thin stone
#

none

#

check the pinned guide @scenic ginkgo

scenic ginkgo
thin stone
#

...

#

sure

#

thermal resist and charge rate should be 70

#

rest all 80

#

there you go

#

or 69% thermal resist and 71% charge rate also works

grand perch
#

@tired egret

bitter turtle
#

I think it pans out to be about 3-5% crit

#

Dumdum is the better choice in most cases

edgy sluice
bitter turtle
ocean shell
#

I have Point Blank and Surgical on my Zarona Stub Revolver, is that bad?

bitter turtle
#

Swap to handcannon

ocean shell
#

Gotcha

#

What’s that one do again?

bitter turtle
#

Armor piercing on a crit

#

If i had to describe it in a simplistic way

edgy sluice
bitter turtle
#

I know how hh works

#

I'm just letting you know that ppl have realized it does less than you'd think

#

I can say anecdotally

odd sparrow
#

Also crits on recon barely do anything and dumdum is just so much more dmg

bitter turtle
#

After dropping it the difference is nearly indistinguishable

#

In terms of how often I'm critting

swift river
#

Ugh...
Penance - 748 out of 750

#

Just two enemies. Two effin enemies short 😄

gilded elbow
#

does Infiltrate's suppresion work? haven't noticed any enemy being suppressed

fiery ledge
#

Anyone know if the 90% ammo challenge is bugged?

bitter turtle
#

But it's more like a rather short stagger

fiery ledge
#

Its not giving it to me

stuck gorge
#

Did you have 0 ammo by the end?

fiery ledge
#

Yup

#

I fan hammered all my ammo into elites

stuck gorge
#

You probably missed too many shots then

fiery ledge
#

How on earth do i miss point blanking it🤣🤣

swift river
#

Man, those penances sucked

#

Not to complete them, I just hate that playstyle

#

I like VoC and Shredders, dangit

wind grotto
#

hitting bulwark shields counts as a miss

#

iirc

ocean shell
fiery ledge
terse idol
#

No

#

At least imo it's important enough to include on every recon

#

And what of crits AND dumdum

fiery ledge
wind grotto
#

unless they changed it thats how it used to work

weak parcel
#

what's the best lasgun

#

regular ass infantry lasgun. I know they're all shit but yknow

#

I wanna try to make a lasgun build work but idfk

dry cloak
#

on infatry las is the green one

#

and if youre after working one look into recons and helbores

weak parcel
#

idk what ur saying tbh but I'm asking what the best mark of infantry lasgun is

dry cloak
#

green one

weak parcel
#

oh they have different colours lol

#

ok makes sense I thought you meant rarity

dry cloak
#

there is a blue one that fires fast

#

green one which is good

#

and tan one

#

its mark 7

hollow ibex
#

But would recommend the full auto mod

weak parcel
#

im tryina farm marksman focus with an OG vet build with the highlight shit

dry cloak
#

is your friend here

weak parcel
#

how, it has no ammo capacity, and its not any easier to headshot with than a lasgun

dry cloak
#

then bolt pistol

#

and if you insist on l;asgun is the green one

crimson pebble
#

las pistol better then las rifle

crimson pebble
weak parcel
#

ye

crimson pebble
#

the easiest way to do it is get the add on node that builds stacks while standing still get to max stacks then just crouch walk around while meleeing

#

@weak parcel

umbral parrot
#

I always get happy when ever i see a Smoke/Stealth Vet

#

It's like... a competition on who's better.

hardy gale
dire olive
#

I used laspistol because you can pop heads all the time, on the move, without ads

#

Ammo efficient

#

Build stacks then stand still and melee

#

And if you lose 1-2 stacks moving it's fine because there's extra

crimson pebble
#

use ammo or not have to use ammo all im saying

terse idol
#

Cause you're not hitting technicaaalllyy

terse idol
#

For the penance I mean suuure

#

I'd definetly just go crab vet and that would probably be enough

#

Not that the penance is particularly hard

#

The tedium ch_brittishsmirk

crimson pebble
#

i mean i got it in less then 5 games crab walk melee

terse idol
#

Yee

#

And what better way to upkeep the MF stacks than just to crouch everywhere

dire olive
#

Maybe unpopular opinion but crouching everywhere is horridly unfun

terse idol
#

Yeah

#

Like if you're brute forcing the MF penance

#

Yes you're gonna suffer

#

Doing it normally just takes abit longer

#

me as I do the mf penance regularly with a ilas7 build

sleek garden
#

Nobody will appreciate this build until they go into havoc

grand perch
#

ive tried my ilas mf build and it turns quite unfun over havoc ~25

#

Yippee

#

Yoo nice drip

pseudo fiber
#

the whole set is so nice

torn acorn
#

which of the shotguns would you guys recommend?

#

ı know the duble barrel is the better of the bunch ı am asking for the other 3

hollow ibex
#

slug shot is the least worst

torn acorn
#

yet it is true

vapid nacelle
#

had a really good match that ended because someone didn't free me from a net :(

tall torrent
#

I don’t run sniper resist for havoc

orchid hemlock
tall torrent
orchid hemlock
orchid hemlock
#

I know 200 hp is the breakpoint for other classes, but is there anything else after that?

tall torrent
#

Ogryn has innate DR

orchid hemlock
#

is sniper resist on Ogryn changes any breakpoints at certain HP?

tall torrent
#

20% base DR
Then u can get usually 20% more TDR from tree (stacks additively with base DR)
So it’s 20% health DR and 40% TDR usually

#

I don’t think building for defense breakpoints particularly matter for havoc

soft trellis
#

Question: what blessings do you want on the plasma gun?

tall torrent
#

You’re gonna be squishy no matter what

soft trellis
#

I was reading the guide thing and I couldn't really tell what blessings you wanted(I don't remember perks either x.x)

orchid hemlock
orchid hemlock
tall torrent
orchid hemlock
#

3 toughness and toughnes regen

vapid nacelle
#

With no investment Ogryn already withstands 3 sniper shots from full (300) HP

tall torrent
#

I will also say

#

If u play smth like shield

orchid hemlock
soft trellis
tall torrent
#

Block efficiency might not be entirely horrible (?)

tall torrent
vapid nacelle
vapid nacelle
#

1 perk doesn't change anything unless you have HP investment

orchid hemlock
tall torrent
# orchid hemlock gimmie the nuggies

If u want to do basic maths
Sniper shot 122.5
Base ogryn health DR is 20% (x80%)
That already reduces sniper shot damage to 98
Ogryn base is 300 health so he can survive 3 shots and not go down

#

So you don’t actually gain much from sniper resist

#

Ogryn’s problem is more “how do I get into melee range before getting fucked up”

vapid nacelle
# orchid hemlock so with regular heavy hitter build I get 363 HP

with 1 resist, from 363, you'd be able to take 4 sniper shots before going down
with 2 resists, 5
with 3 resists, 7
of course you have to remember that you're still playing Ogryn, so the odds that you're going to be in "pristine" condition when taking these shots is obviously pretty low

pastel yew
#

who out here getting hit by 4-7 sniper shots

#

perhaps theres a point where death is a learning moment and should be accepted

vapid nacelle
#

now alternatively

#

if you want to commit to this massive investment

#

with near max possible toughness from curios, curio perks, talent tree perks, 3x sniper resistance and feel no pain, Ogryn can toughness tank a sniper shot outright with no external support

tall torrent
#

@orchid hemlock fyi block efficiency reduces stamina cost for blocking gunshots with shield

orchid hemlock
#

the only reason I dont take 3 gunner resist is because the diminishing returns

#

isn't it actually like 51%?

vapid nacelle
#

48.8

orchid hemlock
#

but it might be more useful on ogryn

pastel yew
#

it'd be kinda goofy if it wasnt to be fair

vapid nacelle
#

I don't remember what perks I'm even running on my Ogryn

#

I think I have a singular bomber resist

#

and that's it

orchid hemlock
#

rn I have 3 toughness/3 TR on my perks, but I am still not sure what to take for the last 3

pastel yew
#

does bomber resist apply to tox/flame bombers too?

#

or just the floppies

vapid nacelle
#

yes

pastel yew
#

neat

vapid nacelle
#

it does not apply to the poxbursters

pastel yew
#

I had it completely backwards then Necoarcnerd

vapid nacelle
#

unless they recently changed that

#

you know what does apply to poxbursters?

pastel yew
#

Shrug I tend not to run resistance nodes... my ordo dockets taking up too much space

vapid nacelle
#

Heavyweight.. if you kill the burster

#

you know, the perk that reduces damage from Ogryns by 30%

primal zealot
#

Wat

pastel yew
#

I didnt know was about to ask what that was

primal zealot
#

Rly ?

pastel yew
#

so what you're saying is...

#

meleeing poxbursters is optimal PotSip

vapid nacelle
#

well you're marked as an Ogryn, so if you kill the burster, the game registers the damage dealt as your own, and therefore damage from an Ogryn, and therefore reduces it

primal zealot
#

I just assumed I tanked them after a point blank kickback shot cus im so thicccccc

#

Lmao peak spaghetti code

vapid nacelle
#

the application of that should be near nonexistent, but y'know.. in case you're like stuck in an inescapable burster wave or something, just punch them I guess 💀

pastel yew
vapid nacelle

#

IG I should just take 3 gunner resist since I'm soo choker 😔

pastel yew
#

hmm

vapid nacelle
#

I just know it applise to bursters

#

but bomber resistance doesn't

#

I love this game !!!

pastel yew
#

its a little rough around the edges... but the general idea is there

#

I do wish the pace of updates was faster though so stuff like this could be adjusted

#

like this is harmless fun but

#

there are other issues that are not so harmless that'd be nice to fix

vapid nacelle
#

I mean

#

In a way I think the lack of poxburster resistance is a good thing for those getting into the game

I feel like most of the time bursters pose 0 threat outside of your team exploding them on you

primal zealot
#

Hey vet chat how do I get the long bomb penance ?

vapid nacelle
pastel yew
#

big room, throw bombn

vapid nacelle
#

resistance may encourage people to not be as inclined to push them away

#

and y'know

soft trellis
#

So just use the pinned message then? <.< @tall torrent

vapid nacelle
#

that's an aoe burst

pastel yew
#

I can see your logic

leaden skiff
#

Helbore dump stat is Stability? Or?

vapid nacelle
#

so while they might take it well

tall torrent
#

But like

vapid nacelle
#

what about the rest of the team they're subjecting that burst to?

tall torrent
#

I JUST SENT YOU A VIDEO

leaden skiff
#

You get no appreciation dude ❤️

pastel yew
#

I dont think anyone can train pubs not to explode bursters on the teme

#

team

#

at this point I'm convinced its intentional

vapid nacelle
#

I still get occasional auric pubs that do it

pastel yew
#

for real

#

it makes me so paranoid in any group fight if it approaches from their direction

vapid nacelle
#

I want to look into havoc but I'm lazy

pastel yew
#

because I know theres a 40% chance they just are not going to shove it

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

tbf though a lot of people at least claim to get frequent audio issues around them

#

I've never really had this issue outside of certain areas of certain maps very rarely

soft trellis
vapid nacelle
pastel yew
#

that bridge in throne side? seems to have some weird audio blind spot on it

vapid nacelle
#

supposedly trappers are actually pretty audible by default for some people

tall torrent
pastel yew
pastel yew
#

0.0

#

its quiet but

#

definitely there

#

you can hear their net gun and their steppies

vapid nacelle
#

the issue is when they appear with no audio :)

pastel yew
#

mmh

vapid nacelle
#

because that's just how this game is

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean I've been really lucky

#

I don't ever really get such bugs

#

so I'm not sure if its hardware based or

#

some people just cursed

#

there are definitely issues with the maps though

#

but not enough I'd say its the main culprit given how commonly reported the issue is

#

I'm sure it'll be fixed any day now

#

🙂

hearty panther
#

every time a silent X gets posted with a clip, i can hear it

pastel yew
#

a lot of people are just coping though

hearty panther
#

but the clip often has the player running their own music in the background and/or a twitch stream so theyre tripling their audio channels and increasing the chance of problems or missing it

#

there are so few actual silent spawns in the game and all of them relate to specific sound gate locations that are bugged or misflagged

#

which means its still learnable and avoidable

pastel yew
#

but to be fair you wont always encounter them early

#

I must have run loads of missions in throne side

#

and it was literally only yesterday I found one

#

after you pass over the bridge, on the variant in which its already dropped

#

I turned around to get ammo just in time to see a burster ready to flop

hearty panther
#

yes

#

thats a fresh one

#

if you dont pass the barricades just before the portal into the courtyard

#

you cant hear bursters coming from the courtyard

#

and specifically only bursters

pastel yew
#

the only other one I can think of is the carnival

#

didnt happen to me but saw a clip of it

hearty panther
#

there's two in baross

pastel yew
#

entering that big open area before the lock door, with the health station

hearty panther
#

and they happen because of the area has multiple configurations for other maps

soft trellis
hearty panther
#

so there are walls present that arent properly coded for sound, or vice-versa

soft trellis
#

ty

pastel yew
hearty panther
pastel yew
#

also just the barest amount of testing

hearty panther
#

i know i reported it like

#

when sycorax came out

pastel yew
#

christ

hearty panther
#

and it was fixed until another patch came out and busted it again

#

but people dont report this shit, they just bitch on discord or download a mod

#

wait no, commsplex

#

not sycorax

#

eitherw ay

#

as said, most people complaining about silent X's are just coping

#

there's like three or four sound triggers for most enemies to begin with

soft trellis
#

For my melee build... it's not too difficult to path for the plasma gun... all I need is the 2nd 5% node as far as a change to what I had goes lol

hearty panther
#

even just the spawns being silent doesnt mean you had zero chance to react

hearty panther
#

a trapper has a spawn sound, a voiceline, a player voice line, a running around sound, a firing sound, and a running away sound

#

if you missed all of that

#

you just fucking suck

pastel yew
#

voice lines dont always trigger do they?

hearty panther
#

almost always

#

it only gets fuzzy when ten specials spawn

#

since they cant say all of them at once

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean most of the time I hear them by their just random running about sound

soft trellis
#

Also I guess always prepared wouldn't be quite as useful for the plasma gun... so I can keep the build I had, minus that, if I want the plasma on it. :/

pastel yew
#

if I hear a net just dodge anyway

#

I've had some issues with buggy snipers recently

hearty panther
#

even if i think i got fucked by a silent something or other

pastel yew
#

where they're staring at the room

hearty panther
#

i recheck my clip and, nope, not silent at all

pastel yew
#

so you look at them wondering wtf

#

and get instant shot

hearty panther
#

i was just too focused on a hound, or a mutie, or whatever

pastel yew
#

never trust dopey snipers

#

the hounds and mutants are so fucking loud

#

mutant got mad vocal chords

hearty panther
#

yea on mutant waves especially my brain starts to tune them out

#

and thats still my fault lmao

#

you'd be hard pressed to call them silent thats for sure

#

and the game still has to balance audio channels and prioritize

pastel yew
#

at least these bugged audio gates are not super common

hearty panther
#

you might hear a mutant clear as day coming from the separate room

pastel yew
#

or the if they are, its not common something bad comes through them

hearty panther
#

but you wont hear the one right beside you as clearly

#

because the one beside you is targetting a different player

#

so it drops priority

#

but it is never silent

pastel yew
#

I was wondering that actually

#

mutant targetting also just seems

#

really funky

#

they get mega tunnel vision

hearty panther
#

better than it used to be

pastel yew
#

bring back old dogs..

hearty panther
#

at least they actually stop now when their original target gets disabled by something else

pastel yew
#

I miss seeing them literally flying up through the floors

hearty panther
#

they used to just INSTANTLY fucking pivot on a dime

#

like they would 180 on the spot still sprinting

pastel yew
#

I dont remember that Shrug

hearty panther
#

so two mutants chase a dude, one gets him first, the other one just insta-snaps to you

#

was hilarious but also not at the same time

pastel yew
#

buthonestly I dont remember much outside of the goofy shit from early days

hearty panther
#

i miss when nurgle blessed mutants would pound you to FUCKING DEATH

#

they wouldnt throw you

pastel yew
#

what is the trigger for them actually bashing you

#

is it random chance or

hearty panther
#

space

#

broadly speaking

#

it only gets funky when there are doorways or walls that can be open or arent present in other map configs

#

so like, baross

pastel yew
#

I know people would hate it

hearty panther
#

that first open plaza for the bridge map

pastel yew
#

but man

#

I'd love it if mutants could actually toss you out of the map

hearty panther
#

there's a wall up that prevents the way to what is commsplex

soft trellis
#

@tall torrent So: how does this look for the plasma gun, as far as the talent tree goes? Just wanted to double check with you since you seemed to know more >.>

hearty panther
#

if a mutie picks you up and walks you into that wall

#

he'll pound you

#

because it doesnt register as a wall in that way for the AI

#

same for spawn doors and shit

leaden skiff
hearty panther
#

and yea muties used to ledge you way more

pastel yew
#

not once

hearty panther
#

now they do their absolute best to not

pastel yew
#

I assume it was hard coded to only throw you somewhere safe

hearty panther
#

the AI checks to ensure the throw is 'safe'

#

yea

#

if it cant you will be 'thrown' but you just fall in place straight down

#

like right where you are

leaden skiff
#

Oh is this my Old Man talkin? Did they fix that?

remote sonnet
#

Oh, back in year 1, they can throw you off.

pastel yew
#

bring it back

#

peak comedy

hearty panther
#

nah it wasnt very fun or cute lmao

#

and they would find the dumbest of ledges

#

like it makes 'sense' if youre on an open bridge

#

its less fun when he finds the one fucking gap in the entire map

#

and threads you through it

primal zealot
#

Now they just throw you directly through walls

hearty panther
#

muties instantly go from "pretty much ignorable" to "you have to kill them immediately"

#

but you cant properly read that level of threat on the fly

pastel yew
#

that ones super annoying

#

at least its rare

#

I've only really had it happen in super compressed areas

leaden skiff
#

Getting tossed into trapper/flamer combo has been my bane a few times

primal zealot
#

Bro I had it happen with a chaos spawn at the start of Gloriana

leaden skiff
#

What model Helbore are peeps running these days?

soft trellis
#

Just figured out what "redirect fire" was lol

#

I looked at the left and right keystones extentions, but, not the middle one for some reason xD

hearty panther
#

Redirect Fire holds up that entire keystone

#

it'd be trash otherwise

pastel yew
pastel yew
#

there arent many ways of generating that much stamina

#

it's good for bosses ig

hearty panther
#

by itself its just not enough

pastel yew
#

yeah niche but there are definitely times I want it

hearty panther
#

in a continued fight you can basically only guarantee the base stacks

#

so thats only 8% damage per tag

soft trellis
# pastel yew helps with the plasma gun iirc

Well for my melee build I can actually do some edits to keep my melee attack speed and get that... the weapons specialist keystone was more cuz I wasn't using a gun that would benefit from the other 2 >.>

hearty panther
#

Redirect Fire essentially brings up the lows and makes the highs higher

soft trellis
#

Looks a bit funky tho lol

hearty panther
#

it makes that entire keystone

pastel yew
#

normally I run marksmans focus I think

#

which is worse

#

but it means you dont have to spam ping constantly

#

you just miss out on the ragers

#

or.. maybe it was only one of the ragers

#

I cant remember

soft trellis
#

I normally always run weapons specialist. The 1st ranged keystone extention helps with low mag guns like the revolver and db shotgun(since even at 1 stack it gives 1 ammo back each time)

pastel yew
#

weapon specialist is the goat

soft trellis
#

I'll just reload my revolver while killing hordes lol

#

kill a poxwalker, swap twice, kill another, etc etc lol

pastel yew
#

it sorta eclipses the other two depending on the build

#

it just takes a lot of melee investment to get there

soft trellis
#

What's kinda funny about the middle keystone benefitting the plasma gun is that the middle keystone is the only other one I was interested in lol

pastel yew
#

I think people miss out on marksmans focus for the same reason as disrupt destiny on psyker

#

maintaining your stacks is

#

super easy

#

if you're fighting you're not going to lose em

hearty panther
#

eh, MF is overlooked for that reason, yes

pastel yew
#

the bonusses just arent that huge a lot of the time

#

its a decent keystone though

hearty panther
#

but also because like half of its bonuses end up being totally wasted and overkill

tawny timber
#

of that dark tide

pastel yew
#

people just need to stop locking in the dog nodes for it

hearty panther
#

and more easily maintained for breakpoints elsewhere

pastel yew
#

like getting stacks while standing still

hearty panther
#

like i get why most Psykers prefer Warp Charges, it's 24% extra damage and maintained with incredible ease

pastel yew
soft trellis
#

I have poor aim... and the right path gives me the 2 things I want the most on veteran: 10% melee attack speed and -0.25s stamina regen delay(now if I didn't want the attack speed, I'd just go left cuz that's 1 point on superiority complex for the stamina regen delay node)

hearty panther
#

but DD is still strictly superior

pastel yew
tawny timber
#

what weapons do you like to use ?

pastel yew
#

dd is mandatory for that keystone really

#

it gives you everything you need and fixes your break points

#

mandatory for that weapon even

#

god

#

words

hearty panther
#

DD is just dummy stacked

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

never take it

soft trellis
#

I know it's bait

hearty panther
#

25% damage, 50% crit damage, 62.5% weakspot damage, and 112.5% crit weakspot damage all in one group

pastel yew
#

honestly almost all of the modifiers for it suck yeah

#

except extra stacks

hearty panther
#

not even including the toughness and movespeed bonus

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

yeah dd is insane for the weapons that use it

pastel yew
#

I basically only take it on the plasma gun (to avoid spam pinging) and the recon las (more damage and stacks never fade)

soft trellis
#

I'm a zealot main... melee specializing is something I actively search out >.>

pastel yew
#

tbf vet has some weapons that dont need melee skills to do good in melee

#

like the power sword for example

#

and apparently the dueling sword

soft trellis
#

the power sword also has the same dodge distance as the ogryn's shield and the zealot's relic blade... and is kinda slow for the attack speed sometimes <.<

#

it's op, tho, yeah

hearty panther
#

only the VI is good in my eyes

#

and like, not really, lmao

soft trellis
#

I've mananged to reach rusher 2 shot breakpoints with both the mk3 and mk6... the mk6 version was much easier tho

manic echo
#

is weapons specialist is just like having another survivalist?

hearty panther
#

theyre great when things are going well and they're really not great when things fall apart

bitter turtle
manic echo
bitter turtle
#

You mean the subnode?

#

It reloads passively

manic echo
#

yeah

#

I forgot to mention

bitter turtle
#

It doesn't genetate ammo

soft trellis
manic echo
#

rip

bitter turtle
soft trellis
#

the full 25% attack speed(with melee specialist up) is really handy <.<

hearty panther
# manic echo rip

oh yea it isnt making you ammo, it takes that ammo from your reserve pool

#

very different utility

#

survivalist generates ammo, prepared saves you from reloading

soft trellis
bitter turtle
# manic echo rip

It's not really rip, some guns really really benefit hard from that passive reload

soft trellis
#

trying to kill the shotgunner I think is what got me killed lol

bitter turtle
#

You basically never need to spend time on reloads in their cases

soft trellis
manic echo
#

yeah well... I only use recon lasgun xD

bitter turtle
#

Well

#

Recon doesn't really benefit from weapon specialist to begin with

soft trellis
#

Wouldn't it benefit from the crit chance for infernus for like 1 shot? lol

bitter turtle
#

2

#

Crit strings

soft trellis
#

Hey, 2 shots lol

bitter turtle
#

But yeah. Rather underwhelming

#

The fire rate boost helps a bit i guess

#

You can pewpew even faster

soft trellis
bitter turtle
#

Well, you could still do it anyway

#

WS' biggest strength is the melee buffs

#

Moreso than the ranged ones

soft trellis
#

Meanwhile this would guarantee infernus much better... lol

pastel yew
soft trellis
#

free handcannon proc, no surgical required lol

bitter turtle
#

It's good, but the melee buffs are still the main point of taking it

manic echo
bitter turtle
#

You'd still run it even if it didn't give crit for volver tbh

#

Just because it's such a melee focused playstyle

pastel yew
#

also like reciprocity is right at the top of the tree so you dont gotta dip further

bitter turtle
#

It sucks you can't get rending strikes but

#

It's the price you pay focusing on your melee more

soft trellis
#

Hm, I'll have to try this out with my revolver

bitter turtle
#

Oh wait

manic echo
#

probly should go back on using recon focus build

bitter turtle
#

Don't get exploit weakness

#

That thing is dogshit

#

Grab 25 toughness instead

#

The node between trench fighter and desperado on the right tree

pastel yew
#

AAAAAAAAAAA

#

gross

#

the new ogryn stubbers have the same aim bug as the bolters

soft trellis
bitter turtle
#

Rending strikes value is solely based on ADMs

soft trellis
#

to crushers I mean

manic echo

ADMs?

bitter turtle
#

And Recon has pretty meh ADMs

Onslaught is a meme

#

You have to path out of the way to get it

soft trellis
#

Yeah... it lets me kill crushers in like 60% of a mag with a brauto

orchid hemlock
bitter turtle
#

It effectively costs 3 or 4 points

pastel yew
#

60% of a mag is not worth it

bitter turtle
pastel yew
#

you waste ammo to apply it

bitter turtle
#

The reddit build

pastel yew
#

and its only against that one target

you waste so much ammo getting the effect to a reasonable level when you can just use your melee 100% easier

Unless you mean you take both stam delay nodes on every build

I will just go back to using this one ig

soft trellis
bitter turtle
#

Then you're definitely making a sacrifice somewhere else

manic echo
bitter turtle
#

The one you just posted is just more focused on ranged combat

#

The one you are testing gives up some of that to make your melee better

soft trellis
#

I mean... I'm not getting bring it down for my revolver... that's about it. I've never relied on demolition team before, so it isn't a sacrifice imo

bitter turtle
#

It's just a choice is all

soft trellis
#

I'm gonna be trying this out, in my next run

bitter turtle
bitter turtle
#

Remember the conversation was about how onslaught is not worth

soft trellis
#

It isn't worth it, even on the build I had before x.x

bitter turtle
#

Even if you ditch the 25 toughness to grab cqkz

soft trellis
#

when it was a 1 point tax

bitter turtle
#

And then switch the stam delay to the right side

#

Where is the last point going to come from

#

To get onslaught itself? Etc

soft trellis
#

I was joking more on saying take onslaught >.<'

bitter turtle
#

O ok

#

I mean i was just answering you about why onslaught is not really worth it

soft trellis
#

Oh yeah, it's just a meme

bitter turtle
#

About this

soft trellis
#

Rending strikes is only a 1 point tax with a good right tree set up as opposed to a 3

bitter turtle
#

Yea

soft trellis
#

I'm getting it now

bitter turtle
#

Like if onslaught was somewhere more convenient

#

Yeah it would be great on automatics

#

But it's just so out of the way

pastel yew
#

its so slow and ammo intenseive

#

maybe on the recons since they dont burn through ammo
