their head is, but the body is flak

#

for mk1 i usually run uncanny/skullcrusher

#

decimator is pretty brutal

#

takes a whle to build up stacks

#

and 1 miss, it's all gone

keen nova
#

Heads are carapace, everything else is flak despite looking carapace

gentle yoke
#

Just looked and decimator 100%

unreal nova
#

It's risky.

hollow ibex
#

have fun dropping it constantly KEKW_ogryn

unreal nova
#

You miss and poof.

hollow ibex
#

not worth imo

#

takes a while to stack, goes away instantly

#

skullcrusher is much more reliable

gentle yoke
#

Mostly just using to clear hordes so I don’t miss much with it

keen nova
#

That's about what I use mine for

hollow ibex
#

that's what i use my shovel mostly for, decimator still feels like shit

keen nova
#

It's on a build where my recon lasgun is the special killer

hollow ibex
#

but you do you

unreal nova
#

Foldables just give you an emergency cracker.

gentle yoke
#

Is foldable shovel good? Just feels really slow but haven’t tried it above malice mode

hollow ibex
#

meh

keen nova
#

Too slow for horde control imo

hollow ibex
#

completely overshadowed by stuff like DS and rashad (which tbf are busted)

narrow frost
#

mk1 shovel

hollow ibex
#

but horde clear feels much worse than mk1

narrow frost
#

best shovel

hollow ibex
#

i'd rather just use mk1

gentle yoke
#

Rashad? Which one is that?

hollow ibex
#

rashad combat axe

#

prob the best melee weapon for vet

gentle yoke
#

Gonna give it a shot

#

Mostly just need something for getting enemies away so I can snipe elites

unreal nova
#

If you like it, you like it.

#

If you don't, well... Like every other weapon avaliable, is a taste thing barring in havoc.

latent parcel
#

speaking of havoc

#

Karien fix it!

unreal nova
latent parcel
#

😦

unreal nova
latent parcel
#

but i trusted you....

gentle yoke
#

What’s wrong with havoc? Most problems I’ve had is 12 ragers spawning at once

spice acorn
#

What's a solid voice of command build

unreal nova
#

If I did, wouldn't I have every cosmetic in the game or something?

keen nova
#

Do you want to revive shout? Do you want to just buff the crap out of everyone's toughness?

keen nova
#

I can send you mine

spice acorn
keen nova
#

Shredder frags and weapon specialist with low downtime between shouts

#

I’m a dirty executioners stance user

Could I have that too to try out?

i dont have any either

i still look like a reject

#

Not really. Still wip

spice acorn
#

I hope it works out for you

#

What gun do you run with it champ

gentle yoke
#

Helbore mk3a with surgical and falter

#

Think I’m gonna give sustained fire a go and see if it’s worth

unreal nova
pale pecan
#

God I wish

gentle yoke
#

What is that helmet lol

pale pecan
pale pecan
#

But fr tho

#

I'm still so disappointed as a Vet main I have to play Zealot to use the weapon I was hoping Vet would get

#

Esp right after they made so many class exclusives cross class etc

gentle yoke
#

The new sword? I’ve only ever played vet so far idk what they changed

pale pecan
#

Pain

mellow solstice
#

Same, I've only ever played Vet.

pale pecan
#

I've played all the classes

#

Atleast we'll get Melta but man

#

I really wanted to fw the Greatsword

gentle yoke
#

Probably gonna play ogryn as my next character because I’m tired of them blocking perfect headshots

terse idol
#

Or well its not that bad but it's not staggering things like you would want for it to stagger

ocean idol
#

who got better invis, vet or zealot?

keen nova
#

There's arguments for both sides

#

Buy and large, Vet can have it for longer, but Zealot gets more damage potential out of it

terse idol
#

With surgical

tame lodge
terse idol
tame lodge
#

Like
You're most likely to kill stuff with weakspot hits

#

Or crits because surgical

crimson wyvern
#

does the toughness replenishment from medkits contribute to the medkit being used up?

#

if so this is a huge bad node

terse idol
#

Let's seeee

crimson wyvern
#

ah right

#

so if you were on MAX HP but low toughness

#

it wouldn't restore

terse idol
#

As far as the wiki says it heals up to 2k hp

terse idol
frank ether
#

its not that field improv is a bad node (which it is competing with literally free grenades but thats not its real problem)

#

its just unreliable by its nature as you can't really rely on finding crates, they spawn randomly

wanton dawn
#

Field improv is niche at best

#

It is BiS for karnak though

frank ether
#

oh yeah

#

its pretty damn good for twins

frank ether
#

there are worse nodes to take still

terse idol
#

Considering the amount of green the enemies could potentially spawn

pale pecan
#

You get 1 nade back per charge

#

Only useful for Nuke Ogryn

wanton dawn
#

Field improv could be good in havoc with a teeny weeny adjustment whatthefuck_heresy

#

Remove havoc regen malus on crate

hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

okay is this just a me bug or is the whole game fucked

#

second auric maelstrom completed in a row where right on the end screen

terse idol
pastel yew
#

I get a pop up saying my mission has been aborted due to an error

gentle yoke
#

Anyone know what the shortest malice mission is? Trying to do “on overwatch” penance. Made it to the end of terminus and got hit on leaving…

hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

AND AGAIN I DIDNT GET MY PENNIES FATSHORK WHYY

empty root
#

how do i even begin to do this

pastel yew
#

get this in no time

gentle yoke
#

Patience mostly

empty root
pastel yew
#

you could get it that way yes but

#

it wouldnt take that long to get through normal play

#

plus marksmans focus is pretty good

terse idol
#

Well if you want to play it the weird way

pastel yew
#

with auto weapons

terse idol
#

Crouch and melee

#

Crab vet

empty root
#

what talents do i get?

terse idol
#

But you don't need to stand still for marksmens focus

dry cloak
pastel yew
terse idol
terse idol
pastel yew
terse idol
#

As long as you headshot

empty root
pastel yew
#

it's just not worth the skill point imo, you can get max stacks instantly

gentle yoke
#

About half through that rn

pastel yew
#

consider that 5 extra stacks is like

#

50% stronger keystone

hollow ibex
#

i find marksman insufferable without camo

#

having to ramp up for every fight again is so annoying

#

as opposed to just starting with 10 stacks

pastel yew
#

it's only the very beginning of every fight

#

you're only starting with 10 stacks if you're standing still for over 7 seconds like

empty root
#

is it possible to do it with infantry lasgun or headhunter autogun im trying to get their mastery up

hollow ibex
#

and being able to move around and passively recover is really nice

pastel yew
#

idk

#

literally just spray at horde, instant stacks

hollow ibex
#

i'd rather just be able to focus on what i need to kill personally

pastel yew
#

unless you literally wanna crab walk everywhere which sounds awful and slower than just shooting some dudes KEKW

light ridge
#

Just use recon lasgun and spray the horde at head level while ADS, you'll be done in no time

hollow ibex
#

recon las with marksman wtfgryn

#

i just don't use marksman

pastel yew
#

and apparently the Ilas

empty root
#

i have to get mastery with headhunter autogun and infantry lasgun, can I use either of those or should i stick to recon?

hollow ibex
#

i'd rather still just use FT at the end of the day

pastel yew
#

ft is just annoying to use since it requires spam pinging

tall torrent
#

It’s just so peak thumbsup_ogryn

pastel yew
#

I basically only run ft for the stamina Kleo

light ridge
hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

there's a mod for it?

hollow ibex
terse idol
#

But yeahh

#

Unless you're doing like crab vet it's probably okay to skip it

pastel yew
hollow ibex
pastel yew
#

I feel that's already plenty time to find another enemy

#

I Can get being against it for old mf which was only 4s?

#

or 3

hollow ibex
#

i'm lazy about pinging stuff

pastel yew
#

but after the duration got bumped theres basically never going to be a point in combat your stacks fade

#

and like someone said, taking camo locks you out of getting 15 stacks which is literally 50% more keystone

empty root
#

I have 5 points left where should i put them

pastel yew
empty root
#

3 left

pastel yew
#

also superiority complex

#

bottom left

empty root
#

2

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

last 2 for crit n desperado

#

depending on your melee

empty root
#

crit?

crimson wyvern
#

my vet just went

pastel yew
#

center right

crimson wyvern
#

"STICKY SURPRISE"

"Urggh that soounded bad"

pastel yew
empty root
#

5% crit over 25 toughness?

pastel yew
#

I mean you can take toughness if you prefer though

#

vet already has giga toughness imo

empty root
#

or deadshot?

pastel yew
#

deadshot is fun but not that impactful

#

just kinda nice ammo save

tall torrent
#

Recon’s synergy with left keystone is pretty bad

pastel yew
#

need the keystone for penance

tall torrent
#

Oh

#

Then

hollow ibex
#

rip

pastel yew
#

also it's not that bad ?

tall torrent
#

Nah it’s ass for recon

pastel yew
#

boosts your weakspot n crit which is what you want no?

tall torrent
#

Nah recon innate finesse is like 1.3

#

You get 75% more of 30%

#

It’s horrendous

dawn garnet
#

pick the crouch talent

#

and keep shooting until you run out of bullets

#

then melee

empty root
tame lodge

#

what melee weap should i take

#

prefferably something i havent maxed

7.5x15=112.5 0.3x1.125=0.3375

Veteran is literally gasping for toughness without VoC constnatly i hate this lol

keen nova
#

Combat axe or devil's claw

terse idol
#

Infil

tall torrent
terse idol
#

I do recommend looking at the guide to build it properly

tall torrent
#

In terms of scaling it’s not nearly as good as actual finesse guns

pastel yew
#

for basically no effort

#

and no spam ping annoyance

#

though I should check out the mod

empty root
#

for lasgun, headhunter and infernus?

terse idol
#

For ilas?

#

Or recon?

empty root
#

recon

terse idol
#

Hmm, I don't remeber too well, but it's dumdum and something

empty root
#

i want ammo because im spamming for 2500 marksman penance

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

dum dum infernus my beloved

empty root
#

so crit chance

tall torrent
#

It’s not comparable lol

#

Marksman focus is really just made for specific finesse weapons

pastel yew
terse idol
#

If you're doing it naturally... hmm imo just play with mf

tall torrent
#

It wants a bunch of nodes scattered across the tree

#

Rending for example

pastel yew
#

how much of an impact does the rending actually provide

ocean idol
#

I tested some more and gotta say, Vet's stealth is so much better than zealot's

#

Taking stealth on zealot is literal trolling

#

Stelath on vet is ok

pastel yew
#

zealot stealth is damage

empty root
pastel yew
#

vet stealth is more varied

pastel yew
#

waste of ammo on a gun with infinite ammo xd

narrow frost
#

@tall torrent does full bore work to increase krak damage

hollow ibex
solar tiger
#

I had to cancel my 39 assignment cuz some dipshit was using it

#

I wish I could inspect their builds b4 inviting them

pastel yew
#

zealot stealth is fun, it's just it's competing with fury of the faithful which is degenerate strong

tall torrent
terse idol
tall torrent
#

It matters more than other damage buffs

terse idol
ocean idol
pastel yew
ocean idol
#

Because it is playable

#

Just infinitely worse than charge

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

compared to just not having it

hollow ibex
solar tiger
#

idk why zealot even has stealth

#

they're a preacher, not a fucking rogue

#

wtf

ocean idol
solar tiger
#

vet stealth is good

ocean idol
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I'd have to sit n do some like... breakpoint testing to see the dif but breakpoint testing auto weapons sounds grim

tall torrent
#

Superiority complex actually does less than rending strikes for recon

pastel yew
ocean idol
tall torrent
#

In like every situation besides shooting at unarmored

ocean idol
#

Right path is death cultitst

pastel yew
#

to get rending I'd need to take the toughness node too

solar tiger
pastel yew
#

but ig I could get bring it down if I pathd that way as well

ocean idol
#

yes

solar tiger
#

it's just weird

ocean idol
#

I am somewhat of an edgelord myself

solar tiger
#

you're a shining pillar of faith in a dark world and then you go stealth

#

like fuck off cunt

ocean idol
#

dod

solar tiger
#

this isn't assassins creed

ocean idol
#

I just told you

#

IT IS DEATH CULTIST

#

NO IT IS

#

Death cultist are exactly that

solar tiger
#

motherfucker

#

he went stealth

#

and then screamed

#

EMEPREORER

#

he's not a stealthy person

ocean idol
#

YOU TRAXIS-3 DEATH CULTISTS ARE LITERAL CANONICAL WORSHIPPERS OF EMPEROR

#

AND Most zealous of them all

solar tiger
#

lmaooo

ocean idol
#

they worship Emperor through acts of death and bloodletting

tame lodge
ocean idol
#

Actually ROgue Trader dlc shown death cultists pretty well

solar tiger
ocean idol
#

what melee weapon you find best for vet?

solar tiger
#

Not only is it just plain old fucking boring to copy/paste another ability from another class, but it's just fucking lame as hell for a zealot regardless

solar tiger
crisp oak

They potentially could be most interesting path

Tac axe is playable, they’re basically DC swords if they did actual flak damage

ocean idol
#

reeee i want eldar weaponry so bad

#

gimme shurikens

sullen jacinth
ocean idol
#

or at least Needle pistols

grand perch
#

i always thought them of more akin to knife without the speed boost on heavy

tall torrent
terse idol
#

Or DS

#

DS4 CatWaggle

grand perch
#

to me the mobility is more of a selling point

#

and the less stressful moveset compared to knife

heavy rover
pastel yew
hollow ibex
#

wasn't a huge fan of the tac axe movesets tbh

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

big agree that this being the only way to deal with carapace is stupid and not fun

#

I'd massively prefer if whatever the next tide game is has a more complex melee system as

#

parries n proper blocking would be fun

#

also being able to actually control your attack direction

#

something like chivalry or mount n blade

crisp oak
#

And parrying them like its darkspuls

severe gale
severe gale
#

fair

#

idk if i agree but i see the reasoning

severe gale
empty root
#

many more games to go

vital wren
#

Yeah that one was a slog since I didn't normally use that keystone either.

stark trench
#

just use a braced autogun and spray hordes

ocean idol
#

or vraks

tame lodge
#

Recon Deathspitter 14

#

Yeah yeah
Mf and Recon bad but that's besides the point

#

Or

#

Zarona Shotgun

terse idol
#

Dlcaw NEEDS parry blessings

#

And less "impact"

#

None

tame lodge
#

Nuh uh
You're getting

tame lodge
#

Vicious Slice

#

DevaStrike

pastel yew
pastel yew
#

though having to parry to kill carapace is still problematic

tawny timber
tawny timber
#

i actually really like fatshark's combat system and I do not want it to go away

#

i dont believe adding controlled directional attacks would fix many weapons

paper trellis
#

What blessings and perks work best on bolter for mulching crusher waves?

tawny timber
#

theres lots of games with directional attacking like that, imo we dont need to lose the extremely fun and unique system fatshark has created to join those games

paper trellis
#

Or perhaps more specifically is shattering impact of any use on hitting breakpoints on crushers?

hollow ibex
#

but it's prob not worth it, pretty sure you lose breakpoints elsewhere

paper trellis
hollow ibex
#

ok yeah that combo's better on zealot tbh

#

since you should be running knife

#

most things just get a knife to the face anyway

paper trellis
#

Mhm, pairing it with relic and throwing knives

hollow ibex
#

nice

#

flamer and bolter are pretty much the only guns i run on zealot lol

paper trellis
#

Part of me wants to use flamer on this spec, but it's so much overlap with relic

hollow ibex
#

well flamer can burn out bulwarks, which is very nice

paper trellis
#

True

hollow ibex
#

like ten bulwarks? no problem

#

i hate bulwarks

paper trellis
#

Just hate how long crusher kills on relic. It's amazing on everything else but them

hollow ibex
#

i think you one or two shot them with fury right?

#

it should be reasonably quick both with or without fury

#

obv need to be careful if there's like ten of them though

paper trellis
#

Hence why focused on crusher waves

tall torrent
#

I run cavalcade + puncture

paper trellis
#

Interesting, I'll try experimenting with both

pastel yew
#

the current forced combo system just feels bad

#

blocking is also simplistic and lacks a skill component

#

there's no parrying outside of the devils claw

#

idk melee could be so much more varied and interesting

#

it opens up space in enemy design to have certain types of armor strong against different things, or shielded enemies you try to poke around

tall torrent
#

I run Boltgun with relic blade so I kind of don’t need my gun to exclusively deal with crushers

trim steppe
pastel yew
paper trellis
pastel yew
#

and some weapon marks straight up have no variety to their move set

trim steppe
pastel yew
#

some weapons straight up do not have thrust attacks though

#

or X or Y

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

they're limited and you need to follow set paths to get the thing you want

tall torrent
#

Perfect blocking is a thing in this game

pastel yew
#

rather than applying what is good in the moment

pastel yew
trim steppe
#

Ya

tall torrent
#

It just doesn’t do anything unless u have a specific function tied to it

paper trellis
pastel yew
#

suchas

tall torrent
#

Perfect blocking is coded as an activation condition

pastel yew
#

mmh okay

tall torrent
# pastel yew suchas

Perfect block with DC swords’ parry caps the maximum stamina cost to 2 I believe

trim steppe
#

Everybody wants anything other than the game they're playing

pastel yew
#

idk like as a point of comparison

trim steppe
#

Tale as old as time

pastel yew
#

compare pvp in chivalry to pvp in.. uhh

#

whats that shitty dungeon tarkov game

hearty panther
#

darkest darkness or some shit

paper trellis
pastel yew
#

dark n darker has melee very similar to darktide

#

and pvp is far simpler, and far less interesting compared with games with omnidirectional attacking

#

some weapons don't feel so bad in darktide, the ones with a fun move set

#

but other weapons are horrendously boring

paper trellis
#

Homie you are allowed to use what you enjoy

trim steppe
#

Fun to you is boring to someone else, and vice versa

paper trellis
#

You don't have to stick to meta

pastel yew
pastel yew
#

like the ds

#

or the rashad

trim steppe
#

Wouldn't it be great if the game was designed so literally everyone was happy about everything? Oh wait that's impossible, people always bitch

pastel yew
#

idk I just see no benefit to the current system

#

beyond making the game simpler

#

and maybe that's your pref but, I prefer higher skill elements in games

trim steppe
#

Then play something else, there's like unlimited games in the world

pastel yew
trim steppe
#

No one's making you play darktide with a Rashad

pastel yew
#

or for the games I like to have better systems?

pastel yew
#

like realistically, what would having the option to choose your attack types actually negatively effect?

trim steppe
#

The game is the way it is. Maybe program your own game with your perfect combat system

pseudo fiber
#

I mean other than the fact it'd require an entire rework to the games combat system, damage system, blessing system I feel that yes there would be negative effects

pastel yew
#

but I'm pretty sure I specified a future game

pseudo fiber
#

I mean maybe the UE5 game could have that

pastel yew
#

the ue5 game?

pastel yew
#

any time anyone suggests a change

#

"maybe make your own game"

#

don't like the crafting?

#

make your own game

trim steppe
#

Yes because suggesting an impossible overhaul to the entire structure of a game is very constructive

pastel yew
trim steppe
#

You're literally saying "I wish this game was a different game"

pastel yew
#

it's just a different direction

#

also the gameplay wouldnt be that different

#

it'd just have more player agencyt

wary spoke
#

I am not having a fun time with crosshair hud and custom hud it is so tedious and I don't understand

pastel yew
trim steppe
#

Darktide has a million design problems but the core gameplay is fun for a lot of people which is why the game is still played despite having myriad issues

pseudo fiber
# pastel yew the ue5 game?

There are some positions open at fatshark for a game being made in ue5
clearly in the early concept stages right now but it does exist

pastel yew
#

in fact I'd argue its the primary weakness

tall torrent
# pastel yew it'd just have more player agencyt

The question is more like, how much does that added agency matter in terms of unique weapon feels and overall balance

Besides given fatshark’s code I’m sure nothing will go wrong with a deep foundational rebuild to their combat system even for a new game

wary spoke
pastel yew
paper trellis
pastel yew
#

it'd give weapons more ways to be balanced

pastel pumice
#

Best you join a modding discord server or contact people that contributed to the mod

pastel pumice
#

Ask around where you found the mods

pastel yew
tall torrent
pastel yew
pastel pumice
#

Communites channel works too

pastel yew
#

more enemy interaction would just be fun

tall torrent
#

DT itself is already unnecessarily complex

pastel yew
#

really?

#

I wouldnt say so

#

outside of the skills

paper trellis
#

The different movesets are a key factor for weapon variety too

pastel yew
#

the skill trees n blessings are fucked

#

but the actual in game combat is pretty simple

tall torrent
#

Buddy I have 2 whole sections in my guide just talking about how damage works

#

That’s telling a lot

pastel yew
trim steppe
#

I wish darktide devs would let me fly around in a valk and blow shit up with missles, it would really open up whole new gameplay elements. They could design anti air enemies and missile resistance mechanics

pastel pumice
#

i read the guide

pastel yew
#

100000% they need to improve how things are explained and simplify the stats

pastel pumice
#

saw math equations

#

i knew DT was much more than just complex

pastel yew
#

being able to control your swing direction is no where near as radical a change

tall torrent
#

I wouldn’t be opposed to having more unique attacks chained from specific combos tho

#

Like pickaxes

trim steppe
#

Changing the entire way combat works in a combat game is changing the entire game and the entire code

pastel yew
#

I mean

#

do you seriously think having omnidirectional attacks

#

is anywhere close

#

to literally flying around in a vehicle??????

#

the attacks and directions are already in the game

trim steppe
#

It's just as pointless of a request

pastel yew
#

you just can't choose their order

paper trellis
pastel yew
#

push the tank map would be p fun

#

like the uhh

#

egg mission from drg

#

maybe too gimicky like the train tho

paper trellis
#

It is legitimately adorable how giddy the judge gets over the idea of a tank with a heavy flamer

pastel yew
#

there are so many spammy weapons in this game

paper trellis
pastel yew
#

a lot of special attacks on melees that are completely useless

pastel yew
#

like compare the combat blade mk3 to half the melee weapons in the game

#

it has a lot of less than optimal attack patterns

#

but its fun

#

its varied

#

every part of the weapon has a use

#

then compare that to the dueling sword like..

paper trellis
pastel yew
paper trellis
#

What you are suggesting wouldn't fix it, because you still insist on only playing the optimal combo

pastel yew
#

or all the attacks in their combos are of a specific type

#

like there are several weapons that are just strike downs

#

or the heavy swords which basically have completely useless lights

#

or weapons that are just spam lights

trim steppe
#

Here's a thought, there are a variety of different weapons that behave differently. Some are simple, some are complex, some have different use cases.

#

And you can play with the ones you like

pastel yew
#

I am, but wouldnt it be better if all weapons lacked useless attacks?

#

or had variety

pastel yew
#

at least the power sword has an alt attack chain

#

which has a unique use

paper trellis
solar tiger
crisp oak
#

Unyielding elite, for better boss damage

solar tiger
#

I wish every weapon was viable for H40 as an example

pastel yew
#

no changes for a while

#

and the balance team are honestly on crack

solar tiger
pastel yew
#

not to be too rude but I'm convinced they make changes by throwing darts at a dart board randomly

solar tiger
#

it's moreso the development speed at a snail's pace

pastel yew
#

that one dev carefully adjusting a weapons stats

#

vs

#

the other dev leaving horrendously broken things in the game or buffing already s tier options

ocean idol
#

... no?

pastel yew
#

no

#

?

ocean idol
#

There is only weapon that is too weak, and that is shredder

#

everything else is good

pastel yew
#

like the chain axe

narrow frost
pastel yew
#

also we've seen them carefully give qol changes to the thunder hammer

#

then just... give the dueling sword to everyone with no changes

narrow frost
#

its amazing if you know how to use it

pastel yew
#

or give better blessings to the plasma gun

#

which was already giga broken

#

the game definitely needs more nerfs than buffs but...

#

eh

solar tiger
#

Honestly? Heavy sword struggles to deal with carapace and there's so many carapace enemies in that mode, but someone gave me a build to try with it, so next week when Havoc is actually working (lmao) I'm gonna test it

#

ehh

#

who tf solo'd 40

#

that sounds aids

#

the bot AI logic makes me pee blood

pastel yew
#

I assume bots turned off

#

to avoid the mega spawns

keen nova
solar tiger
keen nova
#

They're essentially just walking guns

solar tiger
#

yeah basically

#

does solo havoc work rn?

#

cuz matchmaking is borked

keen nova
#

I think the entire mode is fucked

solar tiger
#

ah shit

#

😭

pastel yew
#

I imagine it wont matter anyway since you cant rank or gain rewards

#

just for the fun of it

#

mmh

narrow frost
#

isnt tension reduction already a broken mechanic that doesnt work even outside havoc

pastel yew
#

can you start the game with two people

#

? I thought you needed 4

keen nova
#

I could be wrong but that's it as far as I know

solar tiger

this whole game is broken

Even with demo team and stockpile you will never throw enough kraks

slow spade
#

True

solar tiger
#

but ppl just got mad at me lol

#

not bulwark

ocean idol
pastel yew
#

man bulwarks are

solar tiger
#

bulwark doesn't rlly do any damage

pastel yew
#

so fucking annoying of late

keen nova
#

You just cannot throw enough kraks to deal with the literal 30 bulwarks and crushers that spawn all at once and rush your ass

pastel yew
#

it feels way more common for 3 of them to just spawn inside of eachother

solar tiger
#

kraks are for crushers

keen nova
pastel yew
#

bulwarks are more annoying then crushers fr

ocean idol
#

ogre on ogre on ogre action

solar tiger
#

more annoying

pastel yew
#

crusher does nothing because all its attacks are so telegraphed

solar tiger
#

but not as lethal

keen nova
pastel yew
#

their shield bash removes all your stamina iirc

solar tiger
#

meh

pastel yew
#

so they force you to move constantly

solar tiger
#

12 crushers are worse

#

than 12 bulwarks

narrow frost
#

no

pastel yew
keen nova
pastel yew
#

stab them in the side and have sparks come out of no where

solar tiger
pastel yew
#

crushers might be more of a threat if uncanny didn't exist

keen nova
#

Even if you have a crusher conga line that can squeeze off an overhead, the disabling power of bulwarks makes them more dangerous to me at least

pastel yew
#

but you have people killing them in 1-3 hits

#

even the rashad kills em in 3 iirc

keen nova
#

Because my options are

  1. Waste a ton of plasma ammo on them
  2. Take kraks over shredders
  3. Rely on my team to do fucking anything except mind their business
pastel yew
#

all the main meta melee options certainly not the heavy sword tho

slow spade
#

DS feels weird to spend more time dancing than killing

pastel yew
#

heavy sword carapace clear makes me want to cry

#

axe is a much better all rounder

#

knife number 1 just because you can ignore the game?

keen nova
#

I like the dueling sword just because it's so broken I don't have to waste plasma ammo on crushers

pastel yew
#

yeah dueling sword clear time on carapace is

keen nova
#

I can just heavy>alt poke>heavy then to death

pastel yew
#

stupid

#

yeah the knife is like... what.. +0.8 speed? x1.25 on top of that

#

on average ish

#

hmm idk it definitely feels slow

#

er

#

unless you've got damage boosts fromy our ability to speed it up

keen nova
#

DS + Weapon Specialist makes for a ridiculous melee tool

#

Pop one guy with your gun and just cut up a whole horde

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

man its so rough as I really like the aggression and move speed from the knife

keen nova
#

I just don't like how the axes feel personally

pastel yew
#

but I hate that it lets people speed run off

keen nova
#

Both combat and tac

pastel yew
#

the combat axe is real good tho

keen nova
#

The sapper shovel is that nice middle ground between the moveset of the axe and the stopping power of other melee choices

pastel yew
#

never really got the hype of the shovels

#

it feels like an ogryn weapon

keen nova
#

And the funny ha-ha shovel men in gas masks have gotten two outfit releases by now

pastel yew
#

mostly just knocking shit around rather than killing em

I only know of the once

pastel yew
#

ah its the big ole coat

tall torrent
#

It came out (first)
And got a rerun recently (second)

keen nova
#

I got the jacket because I wanted to make like a field-repaired steel legion set

#

It was the Moebian 153rd Commissar boots, Chem Dogs Jacket, and the Armageddon Mark 3e pot helm

tall torrent
#

I went back to Cadian light armor

keen nova
#

I am a little pissed we haven't had proper flak armor in the shop yet

#

Just the heavy stuff

pastel yew
#

the cadian penance armor with the little scrolls is pretty dope

#

not normally a fan of cadia stuff but that one I am using rn

tall torrent
keen nova
pastel yew
#

I dont mind the one glove but

#

it should be on the other hand probably

keen nova
#

I use the infiltrator chest and boots with the black Agripnna flak helmet in the shop right now

tall torrent
#

No glove no buy

pastel yew
#

get em in...

keen nova
#

My executioner's stance setup has the Cadian 802nd heavy boots and chest with the green agripnna flak helmet from when the game first launched on xbox

#

My res-shout has the Sludge Camo heavy battlegear chest and boots with a sludge camo command cap for that Kasrkin sergeant look

Sludge camo heavy Cadian armor is turbo buggy

#

Quick question, do I uncanny strike or Mercy Killer? Specifically for vet?

tall torrent
#

Uncanny is safe but boring

keen nova
#

It applies to your guns too

tall torrent
keen nova
#

Or was it grenade damage ticks while your melee was active?

#

Like shredder bleed?

tall torrent
#

Uncanny only works when melee weapon is in hand

keen nova
tall torrent
#

It’s a knife

#

Mercy killer is only on knife

paper trellis
keen nova
#

Ah

#

I don't use the knife so lmfao

tall torrent
keen nova
#

Mercy killer is extra damage on bleeding targets no?

paper trellis
keen nova
#

I was incorrect

tall torrent
paper trellis

#

Actually that reminds me, on the dueling sword, is it typically better to grab extra finesse on dodge or extra crit when paired with uncanny

keen nova
#

I think I use extra crit

tall torrent
keen nova
#

But I'm not super knowledgeable on the dueling sword

tall torrent
#

The only exception is zealot where they’re a little more even (because of zealot’s ultra broken duellist talent)

Dueling sword mk4 my beloved

If not a goth mommy under my christmas tree next year

I want a DS

you can kill a (non-havoc) crusher with ds4 before the overhead lands

That combo literally carried over to when I first picked up the knife

And started trying it out

I legit

Stabbed

so you don't even need to bother spending the half second on alt thrust to stagger, you can just kill them

Is knoife. I was thinking of building it on Vet cos a little better than DS4 on hordes.

#

LUL.

pastel yew

nice thing is that precog lasts for 3x as long

pastel yew

you're a chain axe user, you love this weapon you've invested heavily into the melee tree to make it usable

#

you're half way through chaining a crusher to death

keen nova
#

If I run smite psyker and use a dueling sword, will I be so cringe that they cancel each other out?

pastel yew
#

when a ds comes along

#

one shots your crusher

#

then proceeds to kill the next before you even finish your wind up animation

pastel yew
#

and they have 0 investment in the melee tree

solar tiger
#

but idk if cringe is the right word

#

cringe is like, a guy using an OP weapon and then talking shit

rage inducing is the word I might use if such a thing happened to me PotSip

@tall torrent tried switching it up, love the power sword and rashad

knife is quintessential zealotcore

IMO stam + stam regen is really good on every class except maybe ogryn

not really needed on psyker since your delay is so short

zealot already has fast regen rate I think... cant member

but I guess the faster your base rate the more you get from the curio add on
