if the weapons actually feel fitting and nice to look at on the classes, I don't mind. I wouldn't mind if Bolters or Chainswords are balanced to the point where everyone takes them lol

hollow ibex
#

what's the difference between chef's choice and meta lol

wanton dawn
#

You really don't see it ? staregryn

midnight totem
#

ugh

tall torrent
#

Power sword / chainsword lol

midnight totem
#

hosted 3 havocs, deranked

#

deranked one was a pox gas

#

demoted myself for that one, failed the 37, alas

hollow ibex
wanton dawn
hollow ibex
#

oh ok lol

#

wasn't sure what you meant by chef's choice

wicked inlet
#

Combat axe, claw sword, shovel I think are the top 3 chefs choice rn

#

Inlove the noise the shovel makes

#

Like hitting them with a pan

#

It takes really cool and smart players to make a mediocre weapon shine

#

The axe is 100 percent a good pick but its a very reptitive playstyle

wanton dawn
#

Yeah but rashad is not mediocre that is the point KEKW_ogryn

wicked inlet
#

I was getting to that haha

#

The overhead melees smack

wanton dawn
#

My own chef choice was bm lucius but it was very spicy

tall torrent
#

Rashad requires like 5% more brain activity than duelling sword mk4

wanton dawn
#

Also required a mod to not destroy your hand with m3 KEKW_ogryn

wicked inlet
#

Makes me wanna cry

tall torrent
wanton dawn
#

Kinda why it was not meta to begin with

tall torrent
#

The other 1% is learning not to blow up vs ragers from bad PA timing

wanton dawn
#

Oh well, I am okay seeing common folks moving elsewhere

wicked inlet
#

I wanna be extra silly and use the most cursed melee I can

tall torrent
#

I don’t think they’ll even be thinking about touching the top melee weapons now given a large number of players hard crutch on them

split lantern
#

Guys

#

Pox gas is in havoc right

tall torrent
#

I hope they buff chain weapons tho

split lantern
#

I’m not insane

tall torrent
wanton dawn

#

My friend is gaslighting me

wanton dawn
#

If you use mk3 then its cursed

wicked inlet
#

I wanna use a shovel, good roles on one?

tall torrent
wicked inlet
#

Noice

#

What about the devils claw I wanna use one of those too

tall torrent
#

But honestly

#

If u feel like using a weaker melee

#

Tac axe is kind of
Way better than DC swords

wanton dawn
#

Chaxe !

#

Ah yeah, the tac axe. The forgettable one

tall torrent
#

Most people like DC sword for parry vs ragers but
Tac axe heavy attack, PA and SP all stagger ragers and can kill really fast, with much better flak damage

split lantern
#

Currently arguing w someone

#

Because I proved they were wrong in an argument and they said I was stupid and on drugs and they won’t apologize

#

And ofc

#

It’s a fucking smite psyker player

wanton dawn
warm bolt
#

Is power sword still one of the meta choices?

#

Cause i like duelling sword but i realised that maybe some horde clear is a good idea afterall

steady wolf
wanton dawn
steady wolf
#

Erm combat knife is right there!!

wanton dawn
#

He asked for horde clear

steady wolf
#

It does... trust. Just uncanny lacerate

wanton dawn
#

You are comparing to ps whatthefuck_heresy

steady wolf
#

Maybe but I have a need for speed + I use double barrel for horde in conjunction with knife

Oh god why is it so big KEKW_ogryn

tbh power fist all I want

Or if you're feeling particularly fancy - votann revolver bolter shotgun

warm bolt

#

vet only, next update. I believe.

warm bolt
#

Well i do have some ideas - like how it'd conflict with most primaries

rigid pilot
wanton dawn
#

Next patch is recon nerf patch

warm bolt
#

megachingryn dont say that please

terse idol
#

FS gives

warm bolt
#

They will only add melta

terse idol
#

FS taketh away

wanton dawn
#

Its always recon nerf patch

terse idol
#

I realy hope they add parry blessings for Dclaw

warm bolt

Predicting stuff

I even said it should shoot out psywaves like moonlight greatsword

It's a non zero chance fat shark devs read these channels KEKW_ogryn

All of them except zealot anyway

March 2023 wooboy

rigid pilot
#

Yea I never see pubs play laspistol

austere pine
#

fatshark please give vets flamer

#

and zealots a melta

analog mural
#

I think it would make more sense to just give vets melta and zealots keep the flamer

rigid pilot
#

Vets get a 1 handed flamer KEKW_ogryn

warm bolt
#

I would love if they added melta but like the melta, not chaff-clearing shotgun melta

#

Not that i'd cry like a lil bitch if they did but y'know it'd be nice

warm bolt
#

Or loose cannon steals Dante's melta pistol

#

Rotund elasmobranch we plead

Vets get meltagun

#

... it comes with friendly fire whatthefuck_heresy

warm bolt
#

whatthefuck_heresy Now you're cooking with gas

dry cloak
#

when heavy plamer for ogryn

amber mortar
#

is that maccabian dueling sword any fun to use ?

unreal nova
dry cloak
#

and it teaches bad habits in the long run

#

i.e being immortal as long as you dodge

unreal nova
#

But is best safety net if you feel pressured.

#

Just use it if you are trying things harder than you are used to.

#

And bonk everything else with funni shovel, yes.

amber mortar
#

i usually use axe or chainsword

dry cloak
#

try power swrd

#

chain axes

unreal nova
#

Just try everything.

dry cloak
#

yes

unreal nova
#

Do melee mastery on vet.

#

Is funni.

dry cloak
#

because some poeple will tell you to just go plasma shout ds4

unreal nova
#

Then repeat but with guns on Zealot.

crimson pebble
#

literally every melees viable w vet

#

especially with weapon specialist juicing the fuck out of it

dry cloak
#

yes

unreal nova
#

Just forgot am not Zealot.

crimson pebble
#

the only three i wouldn't immediately try if youre new is devil claw, shock maul, tac axes not saying their bad but they require more finesse then the others imo

unreal nova
#

Claw is time parries the game, maul is funni tazer stick but leaves you fairly open. IDK, tacaxe is like poor man knoife.

#

The only advantage it has is it also has the inf dodge but worse.

frank ledge
#

You get used to shock maul

#

It's mid

#

Heavy sword tho...

#

I miss it's glory days when it was zealot exclusive

crimson pebble
frank ledge
frank ledge
#

Finally I don't have to hate smykers!

crimson pebble
#

i thought its lighting wasnt the same as smite lighting

frank ledge
#

It is, same for the dot lighting below the smite talent

#

Seems fatshark finally fixed it

crimson pebble
#

might have to try and it on psyker tomorrow then

frank ledge
#

I did, it's still mid, but it's funny mid, you won't be able to hit tho, the zaap effect goes away when you stop channeling

#

So for soyker it's only handy on the melee talent

unreal nova
#

Is just funni tazer anyway.

frank ledge
#

Yes

unreal nova
#

Tazing bulwarks always funni.

crimson pebble
#

imagine if it had a special psyker interaction where like a 2-5 meter radius around whoever you tazed also got tazed similar to smite

#

like how the las pistols push while on psyker sends ppl flying

frank ledge
#

I wish FS went that route

#

Psyker has shock maul, but behaves a bit different

#

Instead of just sharing weapons (which causes dueling sword situations)

unreal nova
#

I think psykers should just always do some form of force push.

drowsy aspen
#

The saul is mid???

#

On zealot at least I definitely haven't found that to be the case

unreal nova
#

Yeah, it's not that great against hordes tbh.

drowsy aspen
#

...whaaaat?

unreal nova
#

On vet, not weapon specialist.

crimson pebble
drowsy aspen
#

Compared to Rashad?

frank ledge
#

Shock Maul is very mid on everyone outside of smyker in team or soyker with melee smite talent

crimson pebble
drowsy aspen
#

Is this based on damage calcs or vibes

frank ledge
#

Both

crimson pebble
#

martydom shock mauls p funny untill you run into a lot of armor or monstro

drowsy aspen
#

I've tended to find it immensely strong and fast

#

It's pretty decent against armor

#

Those overheads, especially on zealot charge

#

But maybe that's where it differs

frank ledge
#

Damage/cleave is mid
Anti armor is mid
CC is memetier

It's mid overall

#

Zealot has crusher

drowsy aspen
#

Crowd control is meme tier?

frank ledge
#

Shock maul is just a poor man's crusher

drowsy aspen
#

I need to try this weapon again, I'm quite baffled

#

I've found it wrecks crowds real fast with its hordeclear combo

crimson pebble
#

its probably zealots weakest option tbh id rather take tacaxe or chainaxe

unreal nova
#

Is st meme. You need hammerblow and such to cc anything bigger.

#

And pretty sure it stops working on havoc.

drowsy aspen
#

Havoc I can't say

#

I've not played zealot on anything harder than auric maels

frank ledge
#

DON'T BRING IRONHELM thunderhammer

To Havok

#

Please

#

It's painful

drowsy aspen
#

Lmao

#

I won't

frank ledge
#

I tried, I really tried to make it work

#

Safe yourself the pain

unreal nova
#

Just go Crucis if you want to go Thammer to delete bosses.

#

And captains, but that needs teamwork that you bonk when shield down.

ashen cosmos
#

just reinstalled the game after a couple months and i can only afford one of these items if i do all of my contracts

#

ive always wanted a good power cycle but man that chainsword looking good

unreal nova
#

Just gamble in brunt if you have dockets.

ashen cosmos
#

whats that? i havent kept up with the game for several months so alot of things are new

#

oh you mean mystery aquisitions? or whatever its called

wanton dawn
#

There have been a craft update

#

Building a good weapon only require grind and a good grey base, grey or otherwise

ashen cosmos
#

hmm , i see , is there any new way to aquire blessings? last i played you just had to buy a weapon with the blessing you want then scrap it for the blessing and put that blessing on the same weapon just with better stats or perks

wanton dawn
#

The more mastery, the more blessing lvl you can unlock

#

And you can also improve your weapon lvl upward of lvl 500 (new max)

#

Also no more lock

oak gorge
#

The ogryns keep eating my bullets 🥺

unreal nova
#

Still need rng cos Hadron can brick your weapons.

#

It's less common now, but still happens.

deep bone
#

What variant of LasGun is better Mk.VII or Mk.IX

ashen cosmos
ashen cosmos
#

oh wow that is a massive improvment compared to the old system

#

grindy perhaps but better then grind and rng

warm bolt
#

Yeah i enjoy it thoroughly

#

Fatshark cooked

ashen cosmos
#

il still prob grind for one of those shops weapons , will just oil the gears up since im rusty af

#

learnt that apperantly playing after a shot or 2 makes me very sharp and attentative to everything lmao

#

gotta thank my uncle for drinking with him

wanton dawn
#

Oh, i was reading "driving"

ashen cosmos
# warm bolt Fatshark cooked

seems like it , il prob need to watch some guide videos and what not to get up to date with the current state of the game

ashen cosmos
warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

mm driving and drinking , a good pasttime activity

unreal nova
#

Nothing between.

warm bolt
#

Gives the most exp

ashen cosmos
#

i see , seems itll be a grind any way you look at it , but still , sounds better then the old system

unreal nova
#

It is.

#

Why RNG when you can pick what you want.

ashen cosmos
#

just need to get a good weapon from the shop if i can , might aswell grind the missions , ive been using this thing for so long , still kicking doe

tame lodge
ashen cosmos
#

wow that is so much simpler and straightforward then the way it used to be

warm bolt
#

Yeah that's what i did with like my plasma

#

Mhm

#

Can get a bit costly

#

"A bit" is like 200k gold for plasma

ashen cosmos
#

perhaps but way better then before where youd drop 100k for a weapon with good stats while praying for atleast one good perk , then the blessings

#

this is way better

ashen cosmos
warm bolt
#

Nah, just some golden storm missions and you're good

ashen cosmos
#

those new?

ashen cosmos
# ashen cosmos

also between these 2 which would you say is the better pick?

warm bolt
warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

did they merge all the marks of weapons onto a single weapon you have??

warm bolt
#

60 cleave doesnt look too good though but that's just me

warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

oh that is fucking amazing omg

#

wow fatshark did good with the game

unreal nova
ashen cosmos
warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

ye i think il go with power sword aswell , i never really got to use them my entire playtime bc it just did not feel worth it without power cycle

#

speaking of , last i played i heared they got a bit of a nerf , how they holding up nowdays?

warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

@warm boltdamn i just realised you gaming gaming , deep rock , helldivers , ROCK AND STONE

warm bolt
#

pogryn ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

ashen cosmos

#

Nobody left behind.

#

Not even Doretta.

ashen cosmos
#

HELL YEAH

warm bolt
unreal nova
#

If you leave her behind, you are an elf.

#

I don't care if you are 3 scouts and the drop ship is in a stupid spot.

ashen cosmos
#

it feels like the game runs way better now compared to last i played

ashen cosmos
#

@warm boltso if all weapon marks were merged together , does that mean i lost some of the specific weapons i had of different marcs? i can swear i remember having a shotgun that used slugs , but i cant find it anymore , either its on my zealot or its gone gone

unreal nova
#

Usually at mastery 7.

ashen cosmos
#

ye ik , ig its a good thing i stopped playing bc it woulda prob felt like a kick in the nuts if some of the marks i had were toasted bc of the merging

#

i remember i had a good shotty

#

oh well

#

i enjoy the new system alot

unreal nova
#

Less rng.

#

More control.

ashen cosmos
#

once you get the mastery rank requierd you can switch between marks without any more cost right?

wanton dawn
#

It is just the craft part

unreal nova
#

Still can get dooked by Hadron, but rng.

ashen cosmos
unreal nova
#

There's a bug they failed to fix.

#

Let's assume an 80 ammo 60 mobility bolt pistol.

#

Upgrading it at Hadron can change the max to 75 ammo 65 mobility at random.

#

It's rarer after the fix but can still happen.

umbral scaffold
#

how does this work exactly? i need to use ranged to build stacks of melee specialist?

#

wish i could just melee specialist all the time, this is making it awkward

unreal nova
umbral scaffold
#

i like the shout clutches plus ive got like hundereds of hours in zealot at this point

desert viper
#

rinse n repeat

warm bolt
ashen cosmos
#

i wonder , is it a game reason as to why we have to charge up our power swords ? or is it lore accurate that human sized power swords need to be charged up before striking?

#

i cant remember any instance of seeing an astartes power sword be charged up like ours

ashen cosmos
warm bolt
#

Ah nice

warm bolt
#

Ye you are

#

They can run out of juice actually

tame lodge
#

The alternative is that Vets power sword is damaged and not working properly

warm bolt
#

Nah, power field is toggleable on all power swords

#

An example is in Sigismund book where Sigismund turns it off to not kill a night lord

ashen cosmos
#

what you do if that happens? plug it in? lmao

#

man the game runs so much better now

#

wcant say the same about helldivers

warm bolt
unreal nova
#

If I remember, it's to not waste the juice left in them.

#

In sense.

#

Some prefer just dumping mobility.

#

Don't think it matters in the long run.

#

Yes, but some dump mobility over cleave target.

#

Depends on OCD.

#

Did you do the event btw?

#

Play with a lower lvl or havoc?

#

Ah.

#

Nope.

#

And yes, meant that event.

#

Is a decent amount for newer players.

#

If you have carries to delete bosses.

#

Shortcut doesn't work for mats.

#

There's a skip to final boss fight, but it deletes the material loot from the room.

#

Cos they add more mechanics to the fight.

#

Expect sudden vent shifts and such.

#

Guys I haven't played in a little bit but I need to know what's your opinons on bolt pistol for higher difficulty missions? I like and I'm nearlly done levelling it but I feel like I can get more use out of my infantry autogun other than on massive targets.

What melee kts good for light attack spaming

Rashad Combat Axe

umbral parrot
#

I'd take Mobility over Cleave Targets.

amber mortar
#

Dueling maccabian its basicly for heavy attacks right?

latent parcel
#

dump cleave targets not mobility

dry cloak
#

just not get too used to it

I like the shock mace on vet

heavy rover
amber mortar
#

Noted

#

I never used shovel time to change it

#

And buy that krieg skin

crisp oak
heavy rover
#

Yeah, I agree that they're all pretty good with light spam as long as you've got the blessing and perks set up. I personally like the mk3 because of its move set

crisp oak
#

I typically use uncanny+decimator as well on my mk1

#

(Uncanny+thrust on my mk7)

heavy rover
#

yeah, uncanny and decimator is a good choice as well

amber mortar
#

Which of the shovels have more horizontal light attacks?

heavy rover
#

mk 3 has the most horizontal for light attacks (3 horizontals + 1 vertical), Mk7 light attack is 2 horizontals + 2 verticals. Mk 1 is all verticals for light attacks

ashen cosmos
#

do mastery levels have a cap or are the points finite?

#

ok nvm its till level 20 mastery , does that give you enough points to upgrade all your blessings?

heavy rover
#

yeah, once you hit level 20 mastery, you'll have all the points needed for all blessings

ashen cosmos
#

fuck yea

crisp oak
#

And the heavies are all horizontal

ashen cosmos
#

spoiled of choice right now , so many of the games i gravitate around are in a good spot and now darktide is back on the list

crisp oak
#

And the heavies cleave is pretty good

amber mortar
#

Tough choice i need to think

light ridge

Just don't try to kill anything that has a minimum of armor with the mk1

I never saw any vet with it

crisp oak

Feels short

light ridge
ashen cosmos
crisp oak
#

Like feels like knife range, but without the knife speed

amber mortar
#

Its slower than rashad axe?

crisp oak
#

About the same speed, but feel like less range

amber mortar
#

Damn

light ridge
#

It's about the same but better crowd control, same range too

crisp oak
#

Anyway Id use the rashad over it

light ridge
#

When I play Rashad I miss the crowd control of the maul

ashen cosmos
#

reblessing and reperking dosent cost materials anymore? or did it never do

light ridge
amber mortar
#

Power stick

pseudo fiber
ashen cosmos
#

that is fucking awsome

so the only thing that costs resource anymore would be raising the rarity of something?

And empowering it too

Raising rarity and power level

Went through all my Diamantine levelling weapons

That's definitely not a serious comment. "Sense of pride and accomplishment" is a meme from SWBF2 I think it was.

honestly you could prob dump mobility, stab or collat

but definitely not ammo

literally the first brunt purchase after a mission to farm money

doesn't make a huge difference what you dump between mob/collat

depends

i like the 12 for its ammo

hollow ibex

All of them are good

charred pulsar

Why using anything that isnt dueling sword or combat blade feeels so fcking bad

hollow ibex

14 has cleave. 6 has ammo economy and 12 has brrrrrt memes

Because they are overpowered as shit

DS is the best melee in the game

Well knives are fine. DS is busted

DS even more

#

just not the one that sticks on lights... gross... stinky

#

the mk 12? or whatever is cool

austere mica
#

But you are also comparing it to two of the best single target weapons

pastel pumice
#

revving would be so much more fun and good to use if it'd stay on

crisp oak
#

Especially when the special doesnt kill a crusher

austere mica
#

Which isn't fair at all

pastel yew
#

dueling sword is giga op

terse idol
#

Well to be fair ds yeah

crisp oak
#

If the special killed a crusher it might make sense

pastel yew
#

knife is also easy S tier

pastel yew
crisp oak
#

Or if the weapons got iframes while sticking

pastel yew
#

or with headtaker/slaughterer stacks

crisp oak
pastel yew
#

it takes very little time to charge thrust

austere mica
#

Holy shit this .22lr pistol is ass it doesn't kill stuff nearly as fast as my .357 revolver

crisp oak
#

Like the shovel is faster

pastel yew
#

honestly it's time to kill crushers isnt so bad

#

it's just by comparison its really slow

#

but what it's being compared to is like... S tier or OP weapons

crisp oak
#

Yeah its slowness is the issue

pastel yew
#

nah

#

the only real weakness the chainaxe has is horde clear

crisp oak
#

Eh its fine on the mk12

pastel yew
#

its elite and crusher kill times are totally valid

austere mica
#

And having terrible dodges

crisp oak
#

The mk4 made me sick

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

people just need to realize it's extremely boring

pastel yew
#

I'm not sure I agree

radiant chasm
#

mk12 is easier

#

sure

crisp oak
radiant chasm
#

mk4 is safer, and has a better PA and crowd control

#

don't

#

use lights for anything but single target

crisp oak
#

Where it would force my camera 180

radiant chasm
#

that's it

pastel yew
#

the mk 12 push attack is already super good

hollow ibex
#

Both are ok, but they suffer from chain weapon syndrome

pastel yew
#

but I am a sucker for thrust weapons

radiant chasm
#

mk12 PA doesn't clear space in front of you tho

austere mica
#

It can pen a bulwark shield

pastel yew
crisp oak
#

Like Im aiming for a rager in front of me, and it decides that Its sticking onto a poxwalker behind me

radiant chasm
#

not really, mk4 just suffers from slow clear and poor dodges

pastel yew
#

they both suffer from that

austere mica
#

I think you can oneshot a bulwark through the shield with mk12 PA and a FotF rev

#

But thats zealot

pastel yew
#

but you get 4 dodges its just the distance is a lil gimpy

drowsy sluice
#

question for recon perks/blessings, infernus seems good, but what should I pair with it and what perks should I spec?

radiant chasm
crisp oak
radiant chasm
#

that really shouldn't be happening after like

pastel yew
radiant chasm
#

patch13 or 14

#

when they fixed the camera

austere mica
crisp oak
#

Welp while I was doing masteries it happened lik 10 times total (did masteries on it from 1-18)

austere mica
#

It looks good

#

But is only niche on one variant

pastel yew
#

infernus is totally fine, burn funnny

hollow ibex
#

Infernus is good

#

I’ve come around to infernus

#

I run it on all my recon las now

radiant chasm
#

infernus is great on pox hardened

charred pulsar
#

Fair, but also aesthetically it looks wack, like, what does more dmg? A huge piece of metal that power up a chain the size of a torso or tootpick

hollow ibex
#

And it’s mandatory for recon las in havoc

pastel yew
#

dum dum + infernus

pastel yew
#

its just a lot of the strongest weapons barely have weaknesses

austere mica
charred pulsar
#

Yeah

pastel yew
#

unironically the chainaxe is one of the best balanced weapons in the game, just give it a tiny bit of attack speed and its cooking

tawny timber
charred pulsar
#

Its fine, but I bought this pretty skin and want to use it but need to do extra sweat to make this work

radiant chasm
#

but how am i supposed to enjoy things if I don't constantly compare them to Plasma/Revolver

#

or dueling sword power sword

#

smh

pastel yew
#

people unironically wanna buff everything to that level

#

💀

austere mica
#

They should be shot

charred pulsar
#

Depends, you have pretty skins for those? revovler looks wack without skin

radiant chasm
#

i agree with that on vet, chaxe is a weapon that will push you to take melee boosting talents to actually support it

pastel yew
#

yeah without weapon spec attack speed the chain axe feels pretty awful

#

trench fighter drill at a minimum

austere mica
pastel yew
#

though it is so depressing to use something like the chaina xe

#

then have 2 ds players join your game

#

and just one shot the crusher you're specialling

austere mica
#

Kill them

pastel yew
#

;-;

austere mica
#

Barrel them

charred pulsar
#

Revolver looking like an exhaust pipe by default

pastel yew
#

honestly true...

#

"woops accident..."

#

I think the default revolver looks fine

austere mica
#

Their dodges have reduced their situational awareness

pastel yew
#

but honestly lack of consideration is my main issue with lots of op weapons

#

like I wouldnt care about plasma gun users being in my game if they just shot

#

anything else but the thing I'm trying to melee

#

fortunately most plasma gun users are awful so

#

least its not common

charred pulsar
#

Look at this edgy beauty

austere mica
#

Mine has a scope longer than the barrel on it

#

Same with my dbarrel

charred pulsar
#

At least this one works for xmas lmao

austere mica
#

(I hate scopes in DT but both are brace weapons so I don't care)

charred pulsar
ashen cosmos
#

im guessing they removed destroying weapons at hardon for their blessing?

austere mica
#

Yes

wanton dawn
austere mica
#

But you can crunch them for mastery

pastel yew
ashen cosmos
# austere mica Yes

how do you unlock all the blessings from the mastery tree then ? some are not showed

pastel yew
#

just only sacrifice weapons of the same type to itself

#

you get way way more xp

#

like 4-5x or something stupid

austere mica
#

That page is everything available for that weapon

ashen cosmos
austere mica
#

It doesn't have those

#

PS only has 8

ashen cosmos
#

oh , well then

pastel yew
austere mica
#

(cause its a lame ass weapon)

charred pulsar
#

Comodor I want a refund, this weapon suck ass

austere mica
#

You would only use PC BM anyway

pastel yew
charred pulsar
#

But it looks pretty tho

pastel yew
#

it has a fucked up lookin spike

charred pulsar
#

Is not black or is it?

ashen cosmos
#

whats the go to blessings and perks for a power sword ?

pastel yew
charred pulsar
#

I want stuff to mix with my fashion

austere mica
#

Power cycler brutal momentum

wanton dawn
austere mica
#

Its hilariously strong

ashen cosmos
pastel yew
ashen cosmos
#

the power sword i had got from melk has both

charred pulsar
ashen cosmos
#

what about perks , flak would be good and what else?

charred pulsar
#

But looks good

wanton dawn
#

Maniac, unarmored, carapace, unyielding can work. I guess elite too

#

And flak yes

pastel yew
#

unyielding is fun if you run the mk6

#

since its boss damage is p good

#

I dont think you need carapace with the mk6... with the push attack light combo

tame lodge
pastel yew
#

I might be incorrect

tame lodge
wanton dawn
#

Carapace is for no ammo maelstrom mostly

ashen cosmos
#

i generally dont wanna be in melee range with anything that has carapace on it

charred pulsar
#

Yeah thats what Im talkinga abt lately lmao

#

Will make it work

ashen cosmos
#

is crit any good on weapons?

charred pulsar
#

For vet? not really

#

Unless psiker

#

But we are not on psiker channels

crisp oak
ashen cosmos
#

ah , right , no wonder i was hearing that dink sound when you hit carapace on them

ashen cosmos
#

ig il just get carapace and flak

hollow ibex
#

you don't need flak on PS

#

PS already shreds flak

charred pulsar
#

Blessing for sapper shovel? mark 3

ashen cosmos
wanton dawn
#

Unyielding maniac helps your stab bp

hollow ibex
#

you don't need carapace on mk6

wanton dawn
#

For havoc i got unarmored on mine for horde

ashen cosmos
hollow ibex
ashen cosmos
#

also mine is mk3

hollow ibex
ashen cosmos
#

oh right i forgor

hollow ibex
#

you delete crushers with the push attack / L4 combo

#

no need for carapace

wanton dawn
#

Otherwise you dont need it much

#

To be more precise, you mostly need footwork

ashen cosmos
wanton dawn
#

Stab+followup

ashen cosmos
hollow ibex
#

yeah stab, and then light attack

ashen cosmos
#

😭

hollow ibex
#

and then light attack again if they're still alive

ashen cosmos
#

when i had to learn to dnace for my brothers wedding she made me take shots with her to "loosen up"

ashen cosmos
#

do its normal or heavy attacks to sweeps or single target?

wanton dawn
#

You dont need heavy with mk6

hollow ibex
#

you don't use heavies at all on mk6 yeah

#

for hordes you just light attack

ashen cosmos
#

they bad?

wanton dawn
#

Kinda

hollow ibex
#

just worse than spamming lights

wanton dawn
#

It is like charged plasma shot

#

You can play without

#

And you should whatthefuck_heresy

ashen cosmos
#

but the cool factor

wanton dawn
#

That's what stab is for

pastel pumice
#

That combo is absolutely horrid

#

For the enemy

#

PS PA + L2

ashen cosmos
#

i dont speak in controler or what that is

pastel pumice
#

Push attack

#

Then follow up with 2 lights on a Crusher

ashen cosmos
#

ahh

hollow ibex
#

akshually it's PA + L4 🤓

pastel pumice
#

Their head becomes nonexistent

#

Ermmmm

#

Took me 2Ls

#

Muhehehe...

ashen cosmos
#

alright so dont need carapace then , maybe dont need flak unyelding and manic then?

hollow ibex
#

yeah unyielding or elite + maniac

pastel pumice
#

elite + maniac is my combo

hollow ibex
#

i'd test that single target combo against crusher

ashen cosmos
#

you can have 3 perks?

wanton dawn
#

Maniac has good os bp, unyielding is for boss

ashen cosmos
#

oh nvm

#

im dumb

hollow ibex
#

if you can't get the 2 or 3 tap against crusher

#

take elite

pastel pumice
#

but yes, PA + L4 is the combo that should kill the crusher

#

ymmv

hollow ibex
#

it'll prob depend on your talent setup too

pastel pumice
#

^

hollow ibex
#

so definitely do a quick test before taking unyielding

ashen cosmos
#

alright , just gotta rank up the power sword a bit

hollow ibex
#

over elite that is

pastel pumice
#

the shit I learn from just lurking in chat

ashen cosmos
#

it be like that

#

do people still buy stock weapons from brunt to get ones with good stats then work em up?

#

or is there a different way now

pastel pumice
#

thats the only way to do it

crisp oak
#

But you empower them first now

pastel pumice
#

if you have a lot of mats and dockets to spare

ashen cosmos
#

guessing that reffers to mastery level?

pastel pumice
#

just buy a shit ton of the same gun, consecrate them to Green or blue

#

then sacrifice them

crisp oak
ashen cosmos
#

what does empower do exactly?

hollow ibex
#

you basically need level 19 mastery

#

it raises the base stats of the weapon

#

until you max them out based on the cap for that weapon

pastel pumice
#

youre basically upgrading your gun

hollow ibex
#

each weapon has its own cap

pastel pumice
#

or weapon

ashen cosmos
#

alot of things to take in , will take a while till they spin smoothly in my head

#

no matter , i gotta grind the mastery first

pastel pumice
#

good luck broski

hollow ibex
#

it becomes pretty intuitive once you work with the system a few times 👍

#

you really just want to reach mastery level 19 on the weapon

ashen cosmos
#

will do , for now doe , i think its time for a break

hollow ibex
#

so you can empower to max

ashen cosmos
#

just one last mission to test the power sword in action , ive worked all day to complete all contracts to get it

pastel pumice
#

will be easier when you get back on track

hollow ibex
#

PS might take some getting used to

#

it's a janky weapon (but strong)

#

so give it some time, don't immediately give up on it KEKW_ogryn

austere mica
#

It has a very hard time regaining momentum

hollow ibex
#

remember to block cancel after charging

austere mica
#

Give it up before you start

ashen cosmos
crisp oak
#

I would empower it to max first

austere mica
#

My passionate hatred for this weapon is incontainable

crisp oak
#

Ive had pieces lost by getting them to orange

ashen cosmos
#

whats the difference if you do it other way around

#

lost?

crisp oak
#

(The stats can glitch out and change)

ashen cosmos
#

oH

crisp oak
#

Just happened to a heavy stubber of mine yesterday

ashen cosmos
#

i see

hollow ibex
#

it's very janky

austere mica
#

Its sooooo booooooooriiiiiing

#

And people crutch hard on it

hollow ibex
#

well it's more interesting than something like a rashad

#

so there's that

austere mica
#

The amount of plas PS vets I see fold to nothing is incredible

crisp oak
#

Ya know I have 3 melees left to mastery on vet

#

One of them is the psword

wicked inlet
#

Thoughts?

hollow ibex
#

deadshot memes?

#

for recon las i assume?

pastel pumice
#

the only way to please and impress @austere mica now is if you use a literal toothpick and a rock slinger

wicked inlet
austere mica
#

Hey I'm fine with like

ashen cosmos
#

did they nerf brunt or something bc man he gives some shit weapon stats , i am almost bankrupt

austere mica
#

Everything but DS and PS

ashen cosmos
#

0% bruh

austere mica
#

I hate those two melee's specifically

crisp oak
hollow ibex
austere mica
#

and Plasma and specifcally zarona revolver

wicked inlet
pastel pumice
#

do you hate the melees or the people who use them?

austere mica
#

Agri is cool

crisp oak
#

Ah ok

pastel pumice
#

what if the person using them has a big heart?

pastel pumice
#

what if they do REALLY REALLY good

hollow ibex
# wicked inlet Thoughts?

looks fine but i think deadshot is a bad idea, as is onslaught. but if you find them fun, go for it

#

i'd swap out get back in the fight for catch a breath tho

pastel pumice
#

@ashen cosmos dont worry about the nominator, worry about the denominator

pastel pumice
#

like we suggested, empower your weapons and that 0% will be but a memory

#

0/0

#

Worry about the

crisp oak
#

Id also run out for blood

That toughness regen is clutch with spraying

I play this build like a frontliner, in the face of everything constantly moving and doging to get stamina back with duck and dive so I consistently have stamina

austere mica

SO...

#

You use it

#

It's like a sneaky midnight snack

austere mica
#

No

hollow ibex
austere mica
#

I don't

pastel pumice
#

Not judging you if you do

austere mica
#

I only own a DS on psyker

pastel pumice
#

We all love you

wanton dawn
#

I hate hater chadgryn

austere mica
#

and I own a plasma PS build because it was my first actual build and i'm keeping it for the VoC penance I haven't completed

pastel pumice
#

Which one is thta

austere mica
#

Just restore toughness

austere mica
#

I have beef with VoC too if you can believe it

pastel pumice
#

hard person to please

austere mica
#

I'm fine with basically everything else on vet I literally just have beef with the OP stuff

hollow ibex
wanton dawn
#

Nah, it is just meta hating

make it give 100 gold tough again 🥺

austere mica

it becomes boring when everyone uses it and you see it all day every day

austere mica

Its boring when I play it

it's actually pretty fun to use the PS

If I wanted to do that I'd go play zealot with PGS

Shovel my beloved

I still have my starter shovel

vale wraith
crisp oak

More than book even

terse idol

If exe like

austere mica
#

Because book is a channel

terse idol

I dunno gave me increased duration on weakspot hit on bosses

#

I'd be more sold

crisp oak
pastel pumice
terse idol
#

Exe can be spammed chadgryn

pastel pumice
#

wait this might not be it

crisp oak
#

I also like stealth for the same reason

#

And basically just dont like exe stance

vale wraith
terse idol
#

Yeah

#

But it doesn't increase duration at all Sitgryn

pastel pumice
#

i love extending exe for like 5 minutes at a time

vale wraith
#

It comes back in like 5 seconds anyway

hollow ibex
vale wraith
pastel pumice

talking about exe makes me wanna make an exe build again

#

yall got ideas?

Not so much bolters and the like

Genuinely fun

it's very funny

peak tree
vale wraith
#

Executioners is fun as fuck, more so than VoC or Infiltrate

hollow ibex
#

stuff just has more hp

pastel pumice
#

@wanton dawn @hollow ibex My goats, will try, I tried Bolter in the past and it was a blast hitting heads

#

@peak tree You're fragging right, there, Veteran.

vale wraith
hollow ibex
pastel pumice
#

So real

hollow ibex
#

revolver exec stance is a meme build

#

very good, but also takes sooo much ammo

vale wraith
#

Las pistol executioners stance is fun, and genuinely pretty good.

peak tree
#

especially when you just go, hey look, whateverinfrontofmebegone (TM) and its gone in a puff of gore.

#

empty clip, no more emergency

#

so fun

#

5 crushers? 5 corpses.

ashen cosmos
#

ok i lover the power sword

#

WOOPIE

vale wraith
#

I beg for ranged units being outlined just being a base part of executioners stance.

ashen cosmos
#

was there always the other mark of revoler that has a speed loader?

#

i cant remeber if it was when i last played

vale wraith
#

It’s been in the game for quite a while

ashen cosmos
#

never knew ngl

vale wraith
#

Like a year or so at this point, I think

ashen cosmos
#

loved the revoler when i last played

#

is it outclassed by the bolt pistol?

vale wraith
#

Speed loader is pretty inferior to regular revolver though, not bad but outclassed

vale wraith
#

Bolt pistol is still very good

#

Revolver is still just incredibly strong

#

Being able to whip out your gun and kill any specialist in a second flat is just too good, bolt pistol is alright at that but not as good as revolver.

peak tree
#

I do need to play with it more. I found it a bit obnoxious to use if I'm honest.

#

I keep finding myself coming back to the bolter because it does pop heads so well at range but can clear out anything in front of you.

hollow ibex
#

revolver is busted

#

prob the strongest vet weapon tbh

#

and then there's exec stance revolver that one-shots crushers KEKW_ogryn

vale wraith
hollow ibex
#

yeah WS revolver is prob the way to play it

hollow ibex
austere mica
latent parcel
#

revolver sucks in high havoc though 😔

hollow ibex
#

well i prob wouldn't be bringing exec stance into havoc anyway

#

much less a meme build

latent parcel
#

i just mean in general. not with or without it

hollow ibex
#

yeah ofc

tall torrent

#

Whats the difference between the marks of the power swords

#

if i already have imperial edition and will buy it second time will get aquilas ?

wicked inlet
#

Thoughts?

crisp oak
#

And replace it with the left most tag keystone node, or field improv

#

The former because the toughness gain from tagging will do more toughness gen than 2.5% per second if no enemies in 8m

#

The latter because it is a teamwide buff

supple laurel
crisp oak
#

Other than that it works

#

People may bitch about no survivalist

#

i would ditch some tones in there personally though yeah

(need the names of said tones first which is why i gotta pull up the game)
