What I would run

#

(There are 2 flex points with this)

#

*and a point I accidentally clicked

supple laurel
#

ditch duck n dive, take desperado

hollow ibex
#

1 flex point, because you need to take redirect fire

oak gorge
#

anyone else sometimes put their finger in their gun when the other rejects aren't looking

supple laurel
#

also ditch catch a breath its useless

hollow ibex
#

he should be taking catch a breath actually

#

he's taking get back in the fight rn

#

which is just no good now these days

crisp oak
supple laurel
crisp oak
#

To scout out gunners

supple laurel
hollow ibex
#

watch your own gameplay

crisp oak
hollow ibex
#

it'll be helpful more oftehn than you think

crisp oak
#

Kill

supple laurel
#

8 meters isnt as big as you think

crisp oak
#

Which is the same point

#

Grenade tinkerer is also not needed

hollow ibex
#

and get back in the fight is basically pointless now these days

#

so catch a breath is the way to go

crisp oak
#

Eh, its a get in cover sorta thing

#

I would rather run mine and take out for blood and the specialist toughness regen

hollow ibex
#

catch a breath only really mattered in the past because of gunner stun bullshit

#

but that's not a thing anymore

crisp oak
#

Then again I also play aggressively with vet

#

If you are running an exec stance build in a good team that will keep chaff off of you, cath a breath would be good

hollow ibex
#

you're prob sliding into cover anyway, so it's not necessary

crisp oak
#

Maybe Im dumb, but why does noone take target down?

#

Like it gives toughness regen to the whole team on gold tag, which you should constantly be doing and killing if you have gold tag

#

Like if Im taking focus target and I can spare a point I always take it

hollow ibex
#

target down is decent, i take it sometimes

crisp oak
#

Its free regen and will basically give you 25% toughness per specialist kill

#

If paired with the middle

hollow ibex
#

lower priority than redirect fire though

#

if you're taking FT, you should take redirect fire

crisp oak
#

I guess

wicked inlet
#

Whats a good aggressive vet build thats usable in both Auric and Havoc

crisp oak
wicked inlet
#

Hmmm

crisp oak
#

Aggressive vets dont survive that long in havok

wicked inlet
#

Thats fair

#

Supports better then

tame lodge
#

Uh
If I were to guess

crisp oak
#

The generoc plasma gun fueling sword with shredders works in both I think

tame lodge
#

Frags with like infernus las weapon

crisp oak
#

Or the infernus lasweapons

austere mica
#

You can run your havoc build in auric but not your auric build in havoc

crisp oak
#

Your main weapon are shredders

the tox bomber one is something else

tfw people are zealot players out of necessity and not enjoyment

grand perch
#

i prefer knifes on ~

austere pine
#

i don't like knives on a normal day and i use them on havoc because there's no way to do it otherwise

#

that was my havoc 25

#

was because i demoted Servoskull

#

Took like 9 attempts in a row but finally got True Survivor pogryn

Now I never have to do that again lol

what i wouldn't do for other modifiers

#

By far, this is the most cursed H40 I've gotten

austere pine
#

what's the change between fading light 1 and 2

pastel pumice
#

Emperor, am I cooked?

#

Means things attack/shoot faster

#

With II, the second a gunner shoots

#

You're cooked if you don't duck/cover in 0.00325 seconds

austere pine
#

ah cool

pastel pumice
#

An exaggeration, but yeah

trim steppe
#

Gloriana is fuckin rough tho LOL

austere pine
#

gloriana with parasites

#

vital wren
#

I mean if you survive the first five minutes it's probably better than some other possibilities... 😄

austere pine
#

*if

trim steppe
#

That first data interrogation room sucks on havoc, it's just a 180 arc of 5000 shooters and like 2mm of cover

pastel pumice
#

Yeah you're right, its not as bad as Sniper Gauntlet/vent purge

#

Just be glad it isn't pox gas, the blight spreads, pox hardened skin

Don’t worry I’ll take care of that pox gas

whats the current melee meta for havoc? PS struggles against crowds

oblique totem
dire olive
tacit sonnet
#

what is the preferred laspistol mark?

dire olive
#

Depends on build

#

Deadshot? Mk X
No deadshot? Mk II

#

Or just personal preference

tacit sonnet
#

I wanted to do something like this

dire olive
#

With MF and Stance I would go Mk II, it can hit a lot of breakpoints with all that buff so it's just more ammo efficient

tacit sonnet
#

So probably no deadshot then?

#

Then I have 3 extra points

dire olive
#

You can but it might not be needed

tacit sonnet
#

Not sure where to spend them

dire olive
#

I would probably get one of the MF nodes that either gives more stacks or the stack gen when standing

tacit sonnet
#

Oh, right, I can get reciprocity

#

One billions crits from ghost please

hollow ibex
#

you'll prob want demo team over field improve

#

and catch a breath over get back in the fight

tacit sonnet
#

catch a breath? Why?

#

I don't need toughness when shooting at ranged enemies when there is no one near me

#

I need toughness when I am not shooting, which is when there are enemies near me

hollow ibex
#

it's more useful than people assume

#

especially if you don't have VOC

#

there are plenty of times where you're not noticing it, but it's helping you recover toughness

#

and also the other option sucks now

latent parcel
#

They both suck honestly

hollow ibex
#

catch a breath can be pretty useful in some situations, such as when you're clutching

#

it's not the flashiest talent, but it works / has utility

#

get back in the fight is basically useless now

tacit sonnet
#

What did they do to it?

latent parcel
#

Ya maybe. I don't see it tbh

hollow ibex
latent parcel
#

Ur saying stuns from gunners isn't a concern? I've never not ran it so I guess I wouldn't know

slow spade
#

surely you're not getting hit right?

#

UwU

latent parcel
#

You caught me I take 0 damage every game!

serene bough
#

I currently use catch a breath but im thinking about swapping over

#

I dont really find toughness regen at a distance so useful in a meta where VoC spam & toughness regen from other sources is so plentiful

tacit sonnet
#

It might've been because it was train, but catch a breath did literally nothing

#

I was watching my toughness for like half of this mission

#

Get back in the fight would not have done much more though

serene bough
#

Its really a question of which niche situation do you want to fill, getting a break from being stunned bc you played poorly or miniscule THP regen from the few situations enemies aren't surrounding you

#

Both are just tax in order to get survivalist

latent parcel
#

Very true.

calm shard
#

which combat axe is the good one again

#

it's the Rashad right

hollow ibex
#

yah

calm shard
#

why's it good

hollow ibex
#

hmm let me think

#

best horde clear weapon for vet ✅

supple laurel
#

yall

#

wth goes good with the brig command leathers

hollow ibex
#

very high single target dps ✅

supple laurel
#

literally no pants match it 😭

hollow ibex

rashad is bad, trust me

#

is there a ranged weapon outside of the plasma that can deal with armoured elites very well? i wanna try the chainsword with a general shouty build

calm shard
#

helbore kills them too

#

bolter can as well

calm shard
#

basically none of them did their fast lunging attack

#

I don't doubt that you could do it anyways even if they all decided to spam that

#

But that clip makes it look a lot easier than it's actually going to be in similar situations in game

tall torrent
#

it's not that complicated

#

besides this is melee-only demonstration

#

in an actual game it's actually usually easier because enemies won't have flanking behaviour activated unless you're last man standing

calm shard
#

yeah they just spawn behind you or clip through your body instead

calm shard
#

why does focus have to be such a fun keystone

#

just headshot a guy and bam there's a third of my toughness back

What's the dump stat for the shock maul?

How about Blessings?

Oh is there a new guide? I have one but it doesn't have Shock Mauls in it

gilded rock
#

So they try to get behind you more or?

tall torrent
tall torrent
gilded rock
#

Does that mean the last man standing has more slots to be filled?

#

Or just a matter of distribution?

Like unironically

What are ya taking?

calm shard

scoreboard mod lets me stroke my ego while doing relatively simple content

narrow frost
#

oh no, another victim of scoreboard

#

may you rest in peace

calm shard
#

I am going to tell people about my numbers any time I go down doing something stupid

#

I will intentionally be a bad teammate just so that I can get BIGGER NUMBERS

tawny timber
#

i refuse to touch scoreboard

calm shard
#

anyways I tried out combat axe, and shocker it's very good

#

It feels awful to use though

tall torrent
calm shard
#

no I was using it on gun vet

tall torrent
#

Yea that’s not ideal for axe

#

Axe wants heavy melee investment

calm shard
#

it still did well it just wasn't really fun to use

tall torrent
#

It’s a very simple weapon yea

fading yarrow
#

Shock maul is fun

#

So much damage, even on Damnation

#

And the hordeclear oh me oh my

it's funni seeing four heretic heads go flying with every swing

the decapitation is just 👌

Throwing the game for a higher damage number is truly the best strategy

Because THE NUMBERS, MASON

WHAT DO THEY MEAN

/shitpost

calm shard
#

I'm considering putting up with the MK IV helbores garbage bayonet to be able to kill crushers faster

#

Can somebody talk me out of this because I've been enjoying stabbing things with the IIIa quite a bit

balmy flume
#

your bayonet will be useless against a full squad of Crushers

#

and your teammates happened to be off elsewhere for whatever reason

#

and unless you are TEH LEET PRO type

#

I doubt you can gun down a full squad of crushers fast enough

#

especially if they are stealth, close distant spawns

#veteran-class message @tall torrent with this build do you run crucian roulette or point blank? i dont seem to be critting every time on redraw, but i dunno if letting weapon specialist reach high stacks was stopping it because i was running crucian

pale pecan
past oriole
#

how many stacks of point blank should i look for to guarantee a crit on redraw?

#

sorry if its a stupid question im just trying to understand how to get the crit to work consistently

tall torrent
past oriole
#

ur right i just read it mb

tall torrent
#

Kill smth with melee, revolver gets +20% ranged crit chance for 2.5s (enough for 4 shots)

past oriole
#

reading hard staregryn

#

oh yeah this feels a lot more consistent

calm shard
#

and boy is a power sword with very few melee boosts not adequate for killing ragers, crushers, and maulers

latent parcel
#

bm with headtaker and what?

tall torrent
#

Carapace + elite/unarmored

#

Blessings are correct

latent parcel
#

whats a good side with it

#

i feel boss damage will be lacking

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

Rashad has better boss dps than most melee weapons

latent parcel
#

ill give it a shot with a recon then i dont have a loadout with that

tall torrent
#

You can run Rashad with realistically any gun that doesn’t require hard spec into middle and left

latent parcel
#

red nodes needed?

tall torrent
#

Red nodes help a lot in havoc because you actually get to kill elites in melee with them

latent parcel
#

i figured

tall torrent
#

And realistically speaking

#

No sane person goes into havoc melee elite fight without gold toughness anyway

#

So red nodes are gonna be active very often

#

For ur Boltpistol

#

Unarmored + maniac for perks

#

Boltpistol is a really wack gun

latent parcel
#

i do when im charge zealoting but thats a different story

#

i dont usually take maniac

#

i take unarmored tho

tall torrent
#

Flak doesn’t give Boltpistol new breakpoints

latent parcel
#

does maniac in havoc 40?

tall torrent
#

Cuz you’ll get the same scab gunner 1HS (regular game) with superiority complex

tall torrent
latent parcel
#

i swear i already do that

#

with unarmored + flak

tall torrent
#

Without maniac u need a Crit

latent parcel
#

or maybe puncture finishes it

tall torrent
#

Or red nodes active

#

Nah puncture is not enough

#

Puncture is maybe 100 ish damage

latent parcel
#

100-150 ya

tall torrent
#

Trapper in havoc is up to 1350 health maniac

latent parcel
#

ill swap see if it feels better

tall torrent
#

Whatever gets you flamer 1HS in base game

#

Will get u trapper 1HS

#

In havoc

latent parcel
#

does lethal prox work if my melee is equipped when i throw a nade

tall torrent
#

Lethal prox works all the time

#

Execution is quite weird

latent parcel
#

i dont see the icon when i have my melee out so i didnt know

tall torrent
#

Inconsistent uptime

tall torrent
#

But it does work all the time

latent parcel
#

ill toss it back on

tall torrent
#

Rashad’s schtick in havoc is basically

#

You got a duelling sword that kills more than 1 guy at a time

#

But it doesn’t have as good mobility and needs 5 points into right side for atk speed

latent parcel
#

i mean id take that 5 points in any build tbh

tall torrent
#

I think BID’s value in havoc is lower than base game

placid portal
#

Wait, people use mk4 bayonet ?KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Superiority complex is not needed in base game like 60% the time

#

But it kinda does more than BID in havoc

latent parcel
#

focus target or ws

#

ive never really used focus

tall torrent
#

For Boltpistol I think WS helps it a lot

latent parcel
#

well yeah im askin rashad

tall torrent
#

Having to reload that thing in the middle of melee is horrible

#

Rashad can go either

#

But if u already take superiority complex

calm shard
latent parcel
#

i only 1 point ws in all my builds

tall torrent
#

Focus target is basically out of reach

tall torrent
tall torrent
latent parcel
#

i never feel like i need it

#

i even dropped it on my plas

tall torrent
#

It’s not needed for plasma

#

Plasma doesn’t reload much in the first place

calm shard
#

always prepared double barrel shotty

#

mince hordes in half a second

latent parcel
#

always prepared is just a wasted point imo unless ur relying on it

#

ive never not had ammo in my bpistol

tall torrent
#

Nah it’s really valuable for stuff like revolver / Boltpistol / shotguns

calm shard
#

yeah I don't take it unless I'm using very specific weapons

tall torrent
#

Outside of those I think it’s not needed

calm shard
#

revolver, and the shotguns are the ones I think of immediately

latent parcel
#

well i dont use revolver anymore and shotguns i havent touched

#

not sure ill switch that around i like my psword bpistol build where its at

#

ive never not had bullets when i need them

tall torrent
#

Boltpistol is like 2~3 shots to kill most things in havoc

#

8r mag

#

I think it benefits a lot

latent parcel
#

the reload time is so quick tho

calm shard

#

hey thats me

u better take me

I also notice that nowadays only Ogryn seem to pick up nades and maybe Immolation Zealots
So when those are not on the team I'm not above grabbing some from a nearby crate to keep the fireworks going

unreal nova

Will be thankful if I even get a +1, let alone 3-4 lul.

#

I might have finally figured out shovel, doing some field testing tonight
Skullcrusher+Thrust

unreal nova
#

I think someone told about it before?

light ridge
#

Someone might have but it didn't work for me
Mk3 seems the better choice for cracking armor

unreal nova
#

I told you that.

#

7 is just too slow.

#

Sure, it does both hordes and st, but is like poor man ver of either.

light ridge
#

You did, thanks
I just needed some time to make it work for me

unreal nova
#

3 is just, cracks open stuff. Is just having to get used to thrust.

#

Sometimes I rather just do it twice and not take thrust lul.

#

3 is fast enough to get away with it on lower diffs.

light ridge
#

I also wonder about the value of thrust, I never seem to wait for full stacks

unreal nova
#

Maybe I should dook around in psykanium more on it just to see if it can meet bps without.

light ridge
#

I haven't tested the Chained Power one yet, I don't know if the In-Out of the shovel procs it

#

It does proc armourbane

unreal nova
#

But yeah, don't think it matters so much on havoc, cos by the time it matters, don't bring shovel lul.

#

Is a funni weapon, but it's not high tier and better melees already suffer there to a degree lul.

unreal nova
#

I do normally use decimator + skullcrusher though.

#

But it usually requires 2 folded bonks.

#

Do note I have never used the melee side of the vet tree. So that could be why.

#

So is usually just running on elite+oggy+10% rend.

unreal nova
#

Since that's the usual revolver thing.

#

yup. gotta play safe!

solar tiger

The corruption on an overhead necessitates corruption resistance

latent parcel
#

or u just dont get hit?

solar tiger
#

on 40

#

shit happens

unreal nova
#

Or until death.

latent parcel
#

then u deserve to die lol

solar tiger
#

k

unreal nova
#

Would it actually save you then?

latent parcel
#

i have no idea. i dont run corruption res

solar tiger
unreal nova
#

IDK, I just die from gunner in 40.

#

NGL.

solar tiger
#

yep

latent parcel
#

the twat sorry u took a big hammer to the face. you deserve to die 🤣

solar tiger
#

trinkets are gunner resistance and corruption resistance across the board

#

makes a big diff

#

especially with some of the hazard conditions

unreal nova
#

I just run 1 of each.

#

Cdr, stam regen, toughness.

latent parcel
#

ya thats what i usually run

solar tiger
#

I never run out of stam, I stopped using it

unreal nova
#

I usually need it pugging normal runs.

#

Picking ppl up situations.

solar tiger
#

yeah, book + res makes it free

unreal nova
#

I guess I could chorus, but randos don't pick randos up at times.

#

Is basically why some more silly vet builds I have still run In death does duty end.

#

You can pick ppl downed near ledges or above.

#

Just hope the psyker perils themselves before the net hits, heh.

solar tiger
#

the shout reviving people, right?

ive never taken that node on any build

but if it works for you then great

unreal nova
solar tiger
unreal nova
#

But if you pugging, yeah.

latent parcel

whats the shout cd turn into with the node active?

how many hours u got in this game?

wanton dawn
#

Too many

latent parcel
#

i bet i got you beat lol

unreal nova
#

240~?

latent parcel
#

ya thats nothing lol

#

unless u came from a background of these kinds of games

unreal nova
#

I do.

#

Co-op horde shooters.

latent parcel
#

arent you on controller?

unreal nova
#

Yes.

latent parcel
#

oh

#

that makes it so much harder

unreal nova
#

Unless you want me to use my mouse which takes like 9 swipes to the left to spin around once.

latent parcel
#

whats ur dpi? lol

unreal nova
#

No table space.

latent parcel
#

ahhh

unreal nova
latent parcel
#

ya im 1200

#

new table time!

unreal nova
#

I can play some games with m&k, but shooters, nope.

latent parcel
#

😦

unreal nova
#

Well, nazi zombie was fine when I needed to snipe but still.

#

I just reach for mouse to plink heads in sniper spot.

#

Then go back to controller.

latent parcel
#

so much effort!

unreal nova
#

Zombie army games. You know Sniper elite?

latent parcel
#

i do

unreal nova
#

But yeah, I do play quite abit of similar games so.

#

Also used to VT2. But the lag gets bad and I got sick of IB Bardin.

latent parcel
#

i played vt2 when it released

#

for awhile

#

but quit and never came back

unreal nova
#

Cos ppl all want the fancier chars.

#

And not carry books.

latent parcel
#

ya thats true

unreal nova
#

Also, they get mad when I can't platform for grims.

unreal nova
#

The game has a 1 sec delay before I jump.

#

Every game is like playing Borderlands 1 peer2peer.

#

You don't have jump if you aren't the host.

latent parcel
#

rough

unreal nova
#

And ppl hated the one thing I enjoy.

#

Keri with shotbow inf ammo brrrrrrrr.

latent parcel
#

i didnt play the 1st one 😦

unreal nova
#

Is just the recon las inf ammo but more stable imo.

#

Like, I can run out in DT.

#

If I shoot into hordes.

unreal nova
#

I like Lilith.

latent parcel
#

i just wasnt there for it

#

playing other games

unreal nova
#

Ah. I played it late though.

#

When it was GOTY for $8.

#

I miss when big games drop to sub$10.

#

Now big sales is like $20.

#

Unless in a bundle.

latent parcel
#

ya it sucks

#

havoc time. wya karien

unreal nova
latent parcel
#

ya its time to play some havocs

unreal nova
#

I'm dog walking.

austere pine
#

havoc is gonna make me commit curze

unreal nova
austere pine
#

havoc 24 and i get havoc 19s and 20s asking to join

#

i get 22s asking to join

#

and then i get people who are actually at havoc 25 level or above trying to help

unreal nova
austere pine
#

and people are going down before things get tough

#

little teeny hordes on parasite and corruption spreads

#

nothing difficult and people are going down

#

why

unreal nova
austere pine
#

can't make this shit up

#

dude i can't

unreal nova
#

It happens. I ask to join up to 3 lvls higher than I am at tbh.

austere pine
#

this is havoc 24

#

this isn't havoc 12 like you're saying

unreal nova
#

I said 26.

austere pine
#

first guy hasn't experienced aurics maybe

#

second guy hasn't even played a maelstrom

unreal nova
#

I have not done aurics.

austere pine
#

and sure 26 but nobody want me

#

i think i need to advertise myself better

#

need some auric exemplar

#

or ass

unreal nova
#

I have nothing of that sort. I'm honestly not even mechanically sound. I break into full panic often enough to even stress some people.

#

I just know it's just a game and one should just try to have fun in it.

#

If party finder is that bad, why not just LFG and ask for carries.

balmy flume
#

I ultimately judge by whether people are “quitters”

#

(Although in my case I do have one of the Auric penance titles on display)

austere pine
#

i do trust gold and purple titles more than blues and greens

#

but in my case, people who have those titles are my havoc rank anyway

unreal nova
#

Naw. I lack them and is 26.

austere pine
#

it's literally about luck with teammates

#

it's ranked

serene bough
#

Still need to attempt true survivor penance

#

I'll get to it eventually

unreal nova
#

Too lazy if they all work like that 15 no downs.

#

Was tiring enough to gamble even on a half competent team.

#

Cos need at least 2 ppl on objectives.

Well, when not tryhard builds on havoc anyway.

green siren
#

@austere pine btw

#

it's the first time i don't hit any top dmg stats

#

y'all were actually that good

austere pine
#

i sucked

#

only reason i did a lot of damage

#

was because of horde spam

#

and holding left click on bosses lol

#

and heavy attacking captains

green siren
#

well, that's what all must do on this game

#

i got total top score only because i opened most of battery cases in the end, lmao

austere pine
#

sure but that's the only thing i did

#

i also spam tossed grenades when we were getting overwhelmed

#

all i did

green siren
#

that's what vet must do

#

2 other dudes where also good, god damn

#

i got myself a competition here

unreal nova
#

So, everything went good?

havent played in a while, is this a new game mode that just does waves?

unreal nova
green siren
#

map was Chasm Logistratum (where u have to extract 5 fuel tanks from 2 wagons)

unreal nova
#

The ammo box fetch quest.

green siren
#

maybe that

unreal nova
#

Did someone fly off.

green siren
#

no

#

do you remember there is a map part when u go in "metro-like" area?

unreal nova
#

Yeh.

green siren
#

most of people usually wiped there

#

we got almost wiped there too

unreal nova
#

I know.

#

Usually boss there.

green siren
#

it was

#

chaos spawn

#

2 dudes got down

#

spawn ran at the 3rd guy

#

by some miracle 2 sneaky gunners who downed the first 2 dudes decided to relocate instead of mauling down me too

#

i got those 2 up and we clutched

unreal nova
#

Oh. Maybe wanted to shoot guy 3.

#

Happens.

green siren
#

also got downed myself in those that tricky 3-way chamber

#

killed a crusher, and a shotgunner's animation fell smoothly right crusher's death

#

so instead of being blocked by crushers body, all that shot went into my face

unreal nova
#

Happens. Mistakes just happen.

green siren
#

aside from these 2 moments it was real smooth

#

people knew how to prioritize targets, i just corrected their positioning a little bit

unreal nova
#

Ah. I mean, it's how it is. Some ppl just need pokes in the right way.

grand perch
#

finally cracked havoc 40

green siren
#

now take a shower

grand perch
#

strange that i put a lot of thought into a laspistol based build with smokes, when in the end i did best by picking up my old plasma + psword tryhard build and modifying it slightly

green siren
#

laspistol

grand perch
#

its has a lot of qualities that elevate it for havoc

grand perch
#

access to ghost, ammo efficient with shocktrooper, great hipfire, immunity to suppression, infernus for pus hardened enemies...

#

but the raw killing power wasnt cutting it over havoc 30 anymore, teams needed more damage from me

green siren
#

glad to hear it

#

was about to whoop yo ass if you would try to laspistol-bruteforce havoc40

grand perch
#

the real question is

#

how many people do i wanna troll by bringing tac axe + laspistol

#

and ofc infiltrate

green siren
#

if you will host those havoc40?

#

troll however you like

#

however, if i see you joining me with that bitchass small-balls tiny-dick energy build:

unreal nova
#

Host does whatever they want.

green siren

unreal nova

Others should go less meme.

green siren
#

^x2

unreal nova
#

Unless everyone agrees to meme.

#

Or is 1-10.

#

Because really, 1-10 isn't that hard if you can play random normal maelstrom.

green siren
#

ye, any build would work on 1-10

umbral scaffold

Hey returing player here are there any basic simple builds y can recommend ? gotta realern the game ^^

green siren
umbral scaffold
#

im a veteran tahts why i posted here
i dont have any pref weapons for now so im more looking for a basic build too use untill i find waht i want^^

green siren
#

one sec, loggin in

#
  1. Melee weapon: dump Mobility/Defense, max out every other stat, like this:
#
  1. Range weapon: dump Mobility/Collateral/Stability, max out everything else, like this:
#

there are some exceptions, but you will understand them with experience

unreal nova
#

Generally dumping mobility if you don't wanna math hard.

#

You still get all dodges.

green siren
#

try to get 410+Rating on ur 3 Stamina curio because of some weird calculations i am not competent about you will actually get less stamina if your Rating is less than 410

unreal nova
#

Always 410+ for +3 stam. Is fake if 400 or below.

#

Tested on so many now.

green siren
#

it doesn't apply to Toughness curios, so feel free to get anything you want in that regard

unreal nova
#

Same for hp.

#

No worries if it's 400 or below.

#

What you pick is based on how you play and what feels more important to you.

umbral scaffold
#

tahts a lot

unreal nova
#

Some ppl can play with 3x +3 stam.

green siren
#

i saw one such gigachad

#

i trembled in fear

unreal nova
#

It will mean you are glass, but if you can pull it off, inf push attacks and such.

warm bolt
#

On the guardsman in the meme?

#

An "alien" that was found in Mexico that turned out to be a complete hoax from a guy famous for alien hoaxes

umbral scaffold
#

seems like a lot too take in tbh^^

trim steppe
#

Running one +3 stam is nice as a general purpose curio. Having more stam for running/pushing/blocking/reviving feels really nice

latent parcel
#

yup 1 stam curio is goated

hollow ibex
#

i used to take one +3 stam curio in all builds

#

but eventually took it off, just doesn't feel necessary for the way i play

#

i still take stam curios for deadshot builds tho

latent parcel
#

its users choice honestly. i really enjoy it for havoc

trim steppe
#

Its never necessary but it usually just makes things feel better. For me anyway

latent parcel
#

^

hollow ibex
#

yeah whatever works best

light ridge
#

what's better 30% weakspot damage or 10% crit and 25% finesse damage ?

#

Desperado vs Precision Strikes

heavy rover
#

is it for a range build or more melee focused build? Desperado is only for melee, while Precision Strikes is for both ranged and melee

grand perch
#

both are top tier talents, generally if you have to choose, pick the one that costs less points to reach

#

but the question would be if you arent better off getting both anyway

unreal nova
#

Anyone willing to carry eu havoc 18?

grand perch
#

inv me in a minute

unreal nova
#

Kay.

#

Do note, we are on call but yeah, one isn't feeling confortable with vc.

#

Outside of closed group.

#

Do you want another class or 3 zealots is fine?

grand perch
#

doesnt matter lets go

tacit sonnet
#

Can someone give me a melee vet build with ps?

light ridge
#

Similarly I'm wondering which is better: Hunter's Mark or Close Quarter Kill Zone

warm bolt
tame lodge
#

You see

#

25 finesse is weakspot and crit damage

light ridge
tame lodge
#

Not really
Precision strikes is ranged and melee

#

While desperado is just melee

light ridge
#

True but Desperado let's me get up to 25% crit along the way and/or 15% damage for 10s

#

My shout build can fit both so I'll try that in any case
My Infiltration build needs to choose, Desperado seems to make most sense

tame lodge
#

You're passing on free 30% weakspot damage

#

Weird choice ngl

hollow ibex
#

i can get it with infiltrate tbf

light ridge
#

I might not fully understand how finesse works...

hollow ibex
#

the pathing to weakspot damage on infiltrate is pretty brutal

vale wraith
light ridge
hollow ibex
#

well if you got points to spare

#

i rarely have points for bottom left if i'm taking infil

vale wraith
#

Field improvement is especially unnecessary imo

#

Also not taking low profile?

#

It’s a bit too good to pass up tbh

light ridge
vale wraith
#

Yeah, not taking damage is far better than taking reduced damage

light ridge
#

I was trying to not ditch all the aggro on the rest of my team

hollow ibex
#

oh i just realize the build is posted

vale wraith
#

Your team should be fine, most builds should be able to deal with having ONE less team mate

hollow ibex
#

honestly you can drop overwatch and surprise attack

#

def surprise attack, it's pretty meh

#

and field improv like postal said

#

you don't even necessarily need to take hunter's resolve or low profile imo, but that's up to you really

#

get back in the fight is basically useless, i'd take catch a breath instead

light ridge
#

Low profile tends to make the difference in getting that button pushed, that container delivered or that team mate up

hollow ibex
#

but up to you, it's just one point

vale wraith
#

Eh, when shit like shout, venting shriek and relic exist having one less team mate doesn’t make a difference

#

Most teams usually have at least one of those

light ridge
hollow ibex
#

i will say low profile is very funny as a skill check for the team KEKW_ogryn

#

but it's literally useless if you're clutching

vale wraith
#

If you’re playing stealth you’re gonna abandon your team for the specialist picks anyway so having a safety net while you do that is helpful

#

And clutching up with stealth is easy anyway lol

hollow ibex
#

oh and you want redirect fire if you're taking FT

light ridge
#

Thanks, made some tweaks on both my shout and my infiltration builds
Now get my kid to sleep so I can test it out

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

depending on weapon selection, i'd go something like this

#

2 flex points

#

but you can drop demo stockpile for 4 flex points

vale wraith
#

I would honestly drop demo stockpile for precision strikes and fully loaded

#

And then maybe pick up toughness on mark kill

hollow ibex
#

def don't need fully loaded, precision strikes is likely unnecessary with bistol if you have FT

#

and agile engagement will pick up the slack

light ridge
#

Yup, I only have ammo problems on boss missions

hollow ibex
#

oh oops, take AE instead of serrated blade

#

don't take serrated blade KEKW_ogryn

vale wraith
#

It’s so good wdym

hollow ibex
#

fully loaded? it's nice for some builds, not necessary for melee-focused ones

light ridge
#

Weapons I'm testing out chainsword, combat axe, shockmaul and shovel

vale wraith
#

I like having a lot of ammo, what can I say. (I suck dick at aiming)

hollow ibex
#

if you're spending 2/3rds of the time in melee and primarily shooting to kill specialists and proc AE, fully loaded isn't needed

vale wraith
hollow ibex
#

serrated blade's single use case is for mercy killer knife, that's it

vale wraith
#

Yeah lmao

vale wraith
#

Or does it affect bleeding stacks or something

hollow ibex
#

i just really like nades

vale wraith
#

Fair enough

hollow ibex
#

and if you're taking bistol... whatthefuck_heresy

#

yes, i want my nades hitting the entire map, tyvm

vale wraith
#

Honestly never experimented that much with tinkerer

light ridge
#

It's fun, got another nade build with all the nades except twinned

hollow ibex
#

tinkerer + lethal prox on bistol = you can hit everything in the psyk with shredder bleed stacks from the center of psyk

vale wraith
#

Tinkerer affects bolt pistol?

light ridge
#

The other way around

vale wraith
#

Wdym

hollow ibex
#

lethal prox gives 25%(iirc) bonus radius to frags

serene bough
#

Lethal prox applies to nades

vale wraith
#

Oh really?

serene bough
#

Yeah, and tinkerer gives extra radius

light ridge
#

Yup

hollow ibex
#

yeah i have a dedicated bistol grenadier build... and it's a thing of beauty

serene bough
#

So they give you silly grenade radius

vale wraith
#

That’s ridiculous

light ridge
#

Bleeds for everyone

hollow ibex
#

i take field improv too, because why the fuck not whatthefuck_heresy

#

waiter, waiter, more shredders please

serene bough
#

You'll be able to bleed enemies into your next game with that radius

vale wraith
hollow ibex
#

i might've done that before...

serene bough
#

16 if you grab the extra talent on the right

vale wraith
#

I respect it lmao

hollow ibex
serene bough
#

I always hog the ammo crate when I bring field improv

light ridge
#

Field Improv let me clutch at least once when a horde overwhelmed the rescue area
Dropped the box, loaded up on nades , pretended I was Santa and freed everyone

serene bough
#

Shredders for all

hollow ibex
#

Shredders for allmeeeeeeee

vale wraith
#

A whole squad of that build would be hilarious, especially with demo team proccing 24/7

hollow ibex
#

anyway yeah highly recommend giving a grenadier build a go

#

peak vet right there

light ridge
#

Makes Ogryn happy too

primal zealot
#

Can confirm

vale wraith
#

Need to try this shit out on enhanced blitz

#

24 free nades every Ammo box

#

W/o grenadier ofc

light ridge
#

Had the chance a few days ago, so many nades

serene bough
#

Oh yeah enhanced blitz is a thing

vale wraith
#

And it is peak tbh

serene bough
#

24 nades is crazy

#

But fully necessary

honest geyser
hollow ibex
#

theoretically 144 bleed stacks... but you won't be able to drop the nades fast enough KEKW_ogryn

serene bough
hollow ibex
honest geyser
#

Yeah, exactly.

vale wraith
#

Doesn’t need to go, but VoC is just too overpowered.

#

Fun though

hollow ibex
#

it's funny how nobody gave a shit about relic before havoc though

solar tiger
#

VoC?

hollow ibex
#

voice of cummand

solar tiger
#

oh voice of command

serene bough
#

Voice of command

vale wraith
#

Voice of command

serene bough
#

Hat trick

solar tiger
#

ty lol

serene bough
solar tiger
#

idk if VoC is "op", I think others just need to be as fun/useful as each other

vale wraith
#

Duty and Honour should get the cool-down increase that the other modifier has

serene bough
#

VoC alone is not too bad but in combination with tac awareness and iron will its really busted

#

Which is a really low point investment considering how powerful it is

vale wraith
#

Tac awareness is ridiculous too as well

solar tiger
#

idk, havoc 40 has shown me nothing is "op", it's just viable or not lmao

serene bough
#

Idk if I wanna use havoc as a litmus test for balance

vale wraith
#

Havoc 40 is just bullshit artificial difficulty so I don’t really care about it

serene bough
#

Auric vs havoc are definitely different games, but I still think auric is where Darktide shines the most

solar tiger
#

you have to use it as a litmus test, it's the entire second half of pH volume lol

vale wraith
#

Auric should be what the game is balanced around

#

Not havoc

solar tiger
#

disagree completely

#

but allg

#

at least half of the ppl are playing havoc it feels like, so if half your playerbase is in a certain mode/difficulty, not balancing with it in mind is... arbitrary to the say the least

serene bough
#

Idk where half the player base is but I really dislike how havoc increases HP of enemies

vale wraith
#

I just hate how deadly shooters are

solar tiger
vale wraith
#

Everything about the mode is okay, but shooters just ruin it for me.

solar tiger
#

ye, positioning is everything in havoc

vale wraith
#

I do love stuff like the scab and drag captains, that needs to be in auric.

solar tiger
#

it's annoying

serene bough
#

I dont mind gunners but I run ghost a lot to counter them

#

Sometimes I peak a corner only to evaporate from the incoming damage lol

solar tiger
#

everyone runs damage res against gunners afaik for a reason

vale wraith
#

I’m fine with elite gunners being deadly, just slightly tune the shooters

solar tiger
#

ye, but what i mean is, they're the most consistent damage your going to take

#

so if we had shooter res, we'd all use it

#

let's be honest

serene bough
#

I dont take gunners resistance

#

Bc ghost

vale wraith
#

Yeah me neither

solar tiger
#

i don't play vet, so idk

serene bough
#

Reapers are truly terrifying though

#

Especially pushardened ones

solar tiger
#

ya they hurt lol

#

can't CC them and they just spray you in melee

vale wraith
#

They never stagger as well lmao

#

In auric they’re actual pussies but my god they had a glow up

serene bough
#

I still need to grind 50 more havoc for the title and I really don't wanna

vale wraith
#

I need true survivor but that’s about it

serene bough
#

Oh yeah that too

vale wraith
#

Probably not gonna touch havoc after that

#

Will say, it definitely whipped my ass up into being a better player.

#

So it’s really good practise lol

serene bough
#

Im not a fan of the meta

vale wraith
#

Ability wise it’s not as inflexible as people make it out to be, but the meta weapons are basically needed

serene bough
#

I dont like how hp inflation for enemies, hp reduction for alllies, and generally the modifiers make everything feel bloated and slower to play

#

Its basically survive while DoTs clean up a lot of the garbage on screen

grand perch
#

i like that it feels different to play to auric/mael. but it wont be my favorite long term

vale wraith
#

I dislike the groaners and Poxwalkers getting health increases, it feels okay on elites though

#

Pox hardened skin just gimps ranged weapons so bad though

serene bough
#

Yeah, pushardened is really a drag

vale wraith
#

And I mostly play exec stance so I weep when I have to play with it

latent parcel
#

shredder bolt pistol build in havoc 39. that was alota fun

solar tiger
vale wraith
#

Ehhh, they’re not that more spongey, except ogryn enemies and flamers

#

Bulwarks are just beyond tanky

Being able to survive a krak is just too much
