And that’s- kinda about it?

serene bough
#

And for WS I don't see people take nodes beyond the reload clip one

grand perch
#

youre forgetting exploit weakness and skirmisher

#

onslaught being mostly a trap

#

theres stinkers in all trees

faint beacon
#

But like

#

It could use tweaks

serene bough
#

Exploit weakness, skirmisher, onslaught, and duck n dive are garbage, close & kill is conditionally good

faint beacon
#

However never neglect

#

On your toes

#

Post reload one where swapping gives toughness

#

That shit is REALLY GOOD

#

paired with O4B

grand perch
#

tried it, had it on some builds for a while, didnt end up liking it enough to spend one point for it

faint beacon
#

It’s a really good alternative option

#

Don’t knock it till you try it I won’t lie

serene bough
#

I dont see a point in grabbing extra toughness regen beyond O4B and VoC

#

VoC instantly restoring all toughness really diminishes the value of other options beyond the first path at the top

grand perch
#

i had it on infiltrate builds mainly, where it has more use

#

but i always ended up 1 point short elsewhere for something flashier

serene bough
#

I dont use WS alot, actually I mostly use MF

#

But I usually path down right tree for recip, desperado, and trench fighter for all builds

#

Bc aside from those 3 nodes right tree is pretty bad

#

(Not including keystone)

calm shard
serene bough
#

True but VoC spam is easier and overall better

calm shard
#

for your teammates maybe

serene bough
#

Id argue infiltrate is an ability you shouldn't spam on CD anyways

#

voc is the only time i would take power sword

#

its so bad otherwise

#

unmanageable in a horde

#

like if its just you against a mixed horde i would take a devils claw over it

#

im sure theres a way to make it work past just taking power cycler but it just doesnt feel good

#

devils claw with lots of cleave is great for serrated though

#

its also really nice for parrying with the talent that gives you 25% damage after killing with a gun

brave inlet
#

wait, power sword is bad?

terse idol
#

Imo the mobility for me is just toooooooo low

brave inlet
#

oh it's slow af?

hollow ibex
#

yeah, and horrible dodges

#

requires constant re-activating

#

also lose your activation when tickled by a poxwalker

#

it's a very strong weapon, but the ergonomics... KEKW_ogryn

scenic ginkgo
#

PS mobility is fine tbh

#

Just gotta get in the groove

faint beacon
#

It’s very

#

Brain dead

#

Cause you hit activate and swing till it deactivates

#

Rinse repeat

#

You only dodge when it’s necessary

brave inlet
#

I see

#

I myself have become a bit of a fan to saw weapons or the combat knife

brave inlet
#

y'all got any advice on grinding weapon levels?

orchid hemlock
brave inlet
#

damn

#

and I thought I was serious bout the game

orchid hemlock
#

if u have the ortho dockets, u can just buy a shit ton greys, upgrade them to greens and then sacrifice them

#

they get 4 times the value if it is the same type of weapon

wanton dawn
#

i'm farming standard damnation with heavy sword rn

tall torrent
wanton dawn
#

cuz I need to get level up

#

I cant be bothered with sacrificing weapon

faint beacon
wanton dawn
#

its not a caxe

brave inlet
#

it just takes a lot of time for me to get weapon levels

tall torrent
brave inlet
#

I haven't thought about that

#

thanks for the advice

austere mica
brave inlet
#

I mean, that is a lot

austere mica
#

Damnation missions are like 30000 dockets or so

#

That’s 15 ish missions

For the most expensive weapon type

What’s the dump stat for plasma gun

#

Pls say damage even tho that wouldn’t make any sense

empty root
#

Charge

bitter vessel
#

Dangit okay thank you

hollow ibex
#

69% thermal resist
71% charge rate
80% everything else

68+ decimal in thermal resist gives 8 continuous shots from 0% heat instead of 7, so I recommend 69 thermal resist for safety sake
Charge rate affects left click’s pre-fire delay therefore firerate, so it’s not a dump stat and u want as high as possible (which there’s only room for 71~72)
Plasma actually needs very high damage & stopping power stats to hit breakpoints
Ammo roll too low = you don’t get 1/3 shot worth of ammo back from each survivalist proc

i got jumped by many crushers and my teammates just sped away after i got on the mic and said i was getting jumped

#

now we are all dead

#

zealots in auric maelstrom who cant fight always end up as the last ones alive

#

just watched the zealot see a couple of ragers and a flamer run at them so he turned around and tried to run even though he was holding a bolt pistol

#

a chastise zealot

#

he got killed by a random bruiser

It works remarkably well with the 53rd fatigues

Gonna stick with the Commissar cap though

i have this weird one that has this swept back thing and a chain mail and leather undercap

i want them to add the one with the big targeting system thing on the side again

Are people really bad at playing the game all of a sudden in the last month?

Playstation recently joined

new players in a difficult game. not to mention they're playstation users KEKW_ogryn

paper trellis
#

the last match i was stuck playing nonstop horde clear because my party was dying nonstop, and my dumbass decided to go for a rez only for a sniper, burster, and flamer to spawn 5 ft away midrez

#

as soon as I went down it was a wipe

new players are so bad i have started blocking so many people

#

i cant take it anymore

paper trellis
#

i just had a zealot shoot 4 separate bursters in my face

#

and when i asked him to stop, he claimed that they were going to dive after i pushed them

#

and when i got rezzed because no shit that downed me, dude rezzed me into a trapper net

#

and died literally 2 seconds later

barren nimbus
#

is +3 stamina actually bis on veteran, I feel like I dont use my stamina much

sleek garden
#

depends on what you run and your preference

#

extra stamina on veteran is good because vet has the weakest stamina regeneration

#

it takes longer to recover stamina and you dont get a lot base

barren nimbus
#

hmm

sleek garden
#

if you use deadshot you might only get a few shots off without it

paper trellis
#

it helps a lot if you are doing a weapon specialist spec

#

focus target doesn't need it as much as long as you have the toughness regen node since it also restores stamina

#

and it's a toss up for marksmans focus or non keystone

Yo, path
Remind me what is the good ogryn pickaxe again

crisp oak

branx or the other one (karsolas)

All 3 are good, Karsolas is best

tall torrent
#

Nah

stable socket
#

what are the breakpoints like for plasma vet in high havoc? i just got carried to true survivor by a plasma vet that killed an ungodly number of things, but i forgot what gear they were running

tall torrent
#

Headtaker + slaughterer for base game

crisp oak
tall torrent
#

That’s it

#

There’re no other 1 tap breakpoints worth specifically building for that wouldn’t take a large amount of investment

winter grove
#

Not as in I don't believe you

#

I wanna know why

tall torrent
# winter grove Why?

best mixed horde performance, still kills crushers & maulers in 2 heavy atks with full dmg stacks

winter grove
#

I assume it's unyielding + carapace like all picks ye?

#

Or was it flak carapace on karsolas

tall torrent
#

ogryn weapons benefit from maniac a lot as they typically have much lower maniac dmg

winter grove
#

Also got like

#

63% cleave dmg

#

Apparently it's not a problem

#

Considering I still oneshot everything

tall torrent
winter grove
#

Yeah I know

#

I just had this 500 rating pick pre unlocked and loaded

#

I just swapped the branx to karsolas on it

steep prairie
#

yeah karsolas is awesome

#

although i find it a bit rough to use in havoc without psyker bubble

winter grove
steep prairie
#

shield can at least still taunt common shooters to you without bubble

#

pickaxe you are basically stuck until psyker have his bubble up again

winter grove
#

Why are you playing ogryn in havoc anyway

steep prairie
#

it is not a huge problem if the psyker is good, but I only do pugs soooo

winter grove
#

genuinely worst class pick there

steep prairie
#

i just like the big man

#

only started levelling veteran recently

#

since I got tired of using shield every game

#

(also the heavy spam nature of Ogryn feel a lot easier on my fingers compared to light spam)

shadow dagger
#

is using psych ward supposed to give me unexpected errors at the end of every match until a future bugfix or is this just a me-specific issue

winter grove
#

I use psych ward snd everything's okay on my end

shadow dagger
#

huh.

little lion
#

What’s the best blessings/perks on the bolt gun?

#

And the ds4

pastel pumice
#

I run Shattering Impact + Puncture

#

As for the DS4, Uncanny and precog is what people run

#

i run Uncanny and Riposte

shadow dagger
#

i use puncture pinning fire

#

shattering impact feels almost pointless unless you mostly use your boltgun to magdump into stuff like crusher packs or bosses

#

it doesnt really get a chance to ramp up against most other things

#

even into crushers shattering impact only gets value if you land like 4 consecutive bodyshots but yk

pastel pumice
#

just dont miss lol

tall torrent
little lion
tall torrent
#

Carapace + flak/elite/unyielding/maniac

uncanny strike, riposte, precog, thrust, agile

#

If you’re mostly new to the game I don’t recommend crutching on duelling sword

little lion
#

We have like 70 hours now

#

Idk how new that’s considered

pastel pumice
#

whos gonna tell them

#

but path would recommend you the combat axe

little lion
pastel pumice
#

good all around

#

whos yall

#

I'm a baby like you

#

got this game like 4 months ago

tall torrent
#

if ur brother really likes duelling swords, totally fine

#

but it's a very broken melee that sorta promotes bad habits

little lion
#

So I figured it was fine

winter grove
#

Uh

#

How do I change servers again

formal ice
steep prairie
#

it is broken + extremely easy/intuitive to use so it is no surprise a new player would enjoy it

winter grove
#

Btw, what is the usual havoc meta on vet?

crude fiber
winter grove
#

Not even a zarona revolver?

#

Interesting

#

What's the build anyway?

hollow ibex
#

revolver and bolter get fucked

#

don't bother unless you're in lower havocs

winter grove
#

gotcha

#

zarona is now auric only

winter grove
hollow ibex
#

rashad is fantastic, though not as easy as DS on vet in havoc

winter grove
#

I don't use DS on anyone except psyker out of spite

#

Doesn't feel rewarding

# winter grove What's the build anyway?

I just got off so no screen shot. I go right side down to smokes, all the way left for scavenger picking up the better nades talent. VOC, focus target and right side melee nodes. I'm sure there are better builds but I'm doing well with this

Something like this?

W random team, 1st try with 2 people's last week's clearance being less than 37

Which class?

summoner for pre hard mode

Last week was bugged

No matter how high u clear

pastel pumice
#

Did you receive 2x rewards last week?

tall torrent
#

Highest clearance would still be 0

pastel pumice
#

OR well, 2 weeks ago

tall torrent
#

I got nothing for last week

#

Claimed the week before

pastel pumice
#

God damn 😭

#

Knew we were running low on rations

#

But not havoc caches

#

Hopefully the havoc stuff is fixed this week for the majority

tall torrent
#

I’m not maxed out on resources or anything but I have enough to craft anything I want

pastel pumice
#

even humble servants of the Emperor deserve compensation

#

Mmm I don't doubt that

grand perch
tall torrent
#

not a lot but is enough for me

pastel pumice
#

But it's still a bummer you didn't get a proper reward for your gameplay/time

tall torrent
#

It’s whatever

#

I was benchmarking my game the entire week

pastel pumice
#

Yeah that's solid enough for quite a bunch of empowering/consecrating

tall torrent
#

Game just goes into PPT mode randomly for no reason

#

Idk how fatshark does it but they managed to make 70fps feel like 6fps

pastel pumice
#

Jesus

#

What's PPT?

tall torrent
#

PowerPoint

pastel pumice
#

Oh lmao

tall torrent
#

It’s completely random too

pastel pumice
#

Very rarely does it do that to me, though I run on a laptop

tall torrent
#

Usually happens in intense moments

pastel pumice
#

Yeah, I agree

tall torrent
#

But it can just, not happen even in intense situations

#

It’s unpredictable

pastel pumice
#

Psyker smite does it for me a lot though, if and whenever my frames do drop to 5

#

In terms of optimization, DT does do a better job than Space Marines 2

#

SM2 went without a lot of optimization for a long time until their last update

#

Which was probably a few weeks ago

tall torrent
pastel pumice
#

let me see

#

Ryzen 7 4800H

#

And Radeon RX 5600

#

At the end of the day, it's just me/my end

#

Oh and I play like

#

Medium to low settings

tall torrent
#

I have everything on low/off

#

except textures and lighting quality

pastel pumice
#

For darktide specifically I have everything low

#

Or off

#

Yeah, textures is medium

tall torrent
#

lighting quality between medium and low is a MASSIVE difference in visuals

pastel pumice
#

Let me see

#

Oh damn

#

Definitely

tall torrent
#

But it always stutters badly

#

And I’ve been trying to fix it for the past whole week

pastel pumice
#

That's gotta be a headache @tired ember

#

Ooops

i got a question vets

I do apologize

PS doesn't really care too much about builds, though it benefits from WS quite a bit due to dogshit dodge

tired ember
# pastel pumice

Hahaha, no worries- I wanted Gawain but discord was being lame

pastel pumice
#

Just realize your user, I was so confused why I typed Vet and first person's user was Gaw

#

Ah man, did someone steal it before you could change your user?

tired ember
#

Vetanis is my discord id so it makes sense

pastel pumice
#

Yeah just realized lol

#

I wasn't able to change my user till the 2nd/3rd wave

tired ember
pastel pumice
#

I made it work and put an underscore before the name

#

Totally agree

#

Really unfortunate, I feel like they could have done it differently

tired ember
#

Or just not done it at all… DISCOOOORD

pastel pumice
#

LMAO

#

That too 😭

#

It was all just fine until they wanted to be like other social media platforms

#

@tall torrent Did you manage to make it work or still stuttering

tall torrent
pastel pumice
#

Ah, good point lol

#

Also someone was asking for a Psword build

#

i know no one else brighter in this chat at the moment...

tall torrent
pastel pumice
#

until someone else answers, definitely use Power Cycler @dim niche

#

Power sword good

#

Power sword like lightsaber

wanton dawn
#

Every build is ps build

#

Unless you wanna go fast

#

To get the most out of ps ? Probably WS agile with plasma for easy refresh

#

It has crap dodge so do not expect to run away though. Have to stand your ground

#

For a similar style with better mov: rashad combat axe. Require better build to get it working though

#

say, does the kill from infernus counts toward killshot ready (kill 2500 enemy with 10 stack of markman focus keystone) penance?

From what I am seeing, shovel/tac axe/D claw/Power Sword

Dueling sword

#

Bro was offered the red and the blue pill and took ibuprofen

dry cloak
#

dueling sword is trash and teaches bad habits

warm bolt
# balmy flume take your pick

These two messages imply a choice between four options, the dude answering to that jokingly said duelling sword, thus taking a fifth unnamed option

#

Which i compared to being offered the red and blue pills from Matrix and taking ibuprofen pills instead, an "out of the left field" option

dry cloak

ibupfrofen is green and blue

Isnt it brick-red?

Oh no, kriegers are fucking batshit insane

Like outside "swarm tau battlesuit like bees" and "jump on a mech with a melta grenade to kill it"

#

There was a grenadier, 19 y.o., who while behind enemy lines tried to fucking charge literally every cultist he could

#

Either shoot or bayonet them

#

The only reason he didnt die there was because he had a not-krieger commissar with him

Steel Legion is the better Krieg.

balmy flume

Daily reminder that Krieg started off as a palette-swap of Steel Legion miniatures

#

So in a sense, yes, Steel Legion are the original old school badasses

#

I'd be cool if there were more than 4 guard miniatures

You want krieg, cadian, catachan or scions

That's it.

Elysian minis would be cool too

There used to be elysian minis

Vostroyans and tallarn too

pseudo fiber
#

Were they metal

stoic thorn
#

Probably

#

And resin too

pseudo fiber
#

Yeah sounds about right

stoic thorn
#

Rn GW is only really supporting Cadians and Krieg

#

Catachan haven't gotten their model update in throne knows how long

#

Pretty sure one of their characters is still metal?

#

The one with the bionic arm

pseudo fiber
#

I feel thats kinda the issue with space marines versus guard

#

Like space marines just paint them yellow or blue or green

#

Guard regiments look so different you need GW to support them

stoic thorn
#

I mean there's a billion other guard regiments

pseudo fiber
#

They don't?
Too bad!

stoic thorn
#

We are just looking at the more unique ones

pseudo fiber
#

True

#

I like the unique ones though

stoic thorn
#

The 553rd shitfart regiments could be a shit coloured cadian armoured mfs

#

Specialised in swamp combat

pseudo fiber
#

Either way I hope the inevitable Vostroyan cosmetics in darktide sell a billion copies so GW make new minis

stoic thorn
#

Other way round

#

GW makes new minis and that sells

#

Most DT gamers aren't too well versed in the setting I think

pseudo fiber
#

Yeah in this case I think fatshark might be first

stoic thorn
#

Fair

#

But GW won't be influenced by this

stoic thorn
#

They tend to not fucking listen

If this is real

My god.

Unless you're the deathwatch players

Lmao

So GW nerfed them and put out a joke video

stoic thorn
#

God I love CADIA

pseudo fiber
balmy flume
#

I mean, with the way things are going

#

GW is soon going to declare that Cadians and Krieg are both so exemplary

#

To the point that almost all regiments under the f*cking sun takes after one of the two

#

(which, from a production efficiency point of view, would allow GW to just exclusively manufacture two sets of things)

#

and if you want your own regiment, you can always kitbash - and, in the process, pay GW/other 3rd party bits suppliers all the money

remote sonnet
#

Most of Catachan characters are reduced to generic ranked unit.

balmy flume
#

I won't be surprised if we soon see a Warhammer Community article with someone who bought the newer Krieg model range

#

then reverse painted those with Steel Legion colours

#

"see you can still have Steel Legion!!"

remote sonnet
#

I think the people liked Cadians because they were the more level headed troops in the lore. Kriegs have more meme however.

#

In this day and era, meme trumps over reason.

I haven't played this one yet. Seems like it was perfect meant to play as a Korp of Krieg. Literally seems perfect.

Seems like a ball drop on fatshark's part. Welp. Damn.

balmy flume
#

Well it is primarily a teamplay game 😅

warm bolt
#

Yeah, also krieger tactics are less "going solo guns blazing" and more "ww1 style trenches, siege, artillery and then mass assault"

#

You still can play as krieger as they do use normal squad tactics with more emphasis on heavier weapons and more on "die if it means you save equipment/someone more important"

winter grove
#

Krieg memers just shout "Shovels" and think it's peak comedy

pseudo fiber
#

I'd argue helldivers is more a krieg game than darktide

winter grove
#

Krieg melee weapon of choice is a chain axe

warm bolt
#

Dont think it's a chain axe but yeah shovels is just a meme

Just that why use it as a primary weapon when you have trench clubs

Which are more baller

If I'm havoc 1 for example and I join someone who's playing on higher levels of havoc, will playing with him also level up my havoc or that's not how it works?

Can't find randoms on my low ass levels and completing first game with 3 bots almost gave me a heart attack

don't worry people will reject your request every single time if you're not high enough havoc level to seem like you'll carry them

#

It doesn't matter to them I suppose

calm shard
#

Which is incredible given what that title entails

frank ether
#

they are working on a new game

#

darktide is more or less done

patent rapids
#

Naah no way

frank ether
#

as in, skeleton crew

#

already has been for a while

patent rapids
#

Vermintide was supported for gorillions of years

frank ether
#

''supported''

patent rapids
#

No way they are abandoning darktide

calm shard
#

I think the darktide skeleton crew thing was because of fatshark playing favorites

#

and working on Vermintide 2 versus

patent rapids
#

trve...

frank ether
#

darktide is being ''supported'' rn

#

Anyway I'd love to sit and trash on FS for another 2 hours

#

but I too lost my BMI inde.. I mean my havoc rank, therefore I must grind again

crimson wyvern
calm shard
#

I'm pretty sure darktide has had a relatively similar rate of updates compared to Vermintide 2 right?

patent rapids
#

new faction drop when...

#

I'm new to darktide tbh but I've heard multiple times that they were teasing genestealer cults for some time

#

Or some time ago

frank ether
patent rapids
#

Idfk

frank ether
#

darktide is having it better content wise

crimson wyvern
#

They've been pushing events, new maps, new weapons on darktide consistantly? Can you point to a history in darktides updates where it was the golden age better than what we're doing that makes you think we're in some sort of gloomy "time to move on........"

frank ether
#

unfortunately for VT2 they had a lot of work done on a dead mode (versus) because they promised and for whatever dumb reason VT2 playerbase (parts of it) guilt tripped the developers over a mode that is dead on arrival

crimson wyvern
#

Because I've been playing since launch and I can't really think of a better time

frank ether
#

I didn't ask for your opinion but go off I guess

warm bolt
balmy flume
#

(and thankfully it's one of the more sensible things to hang - I mean, having completed it is not necessarily going to say you are never going to drop. Unlike some of the other penance things.)

frank ether
calm shard
#

tying it to the party finder was incredibly stupid

frank ether
#

As we speak I'm getting a group up from a friends discord because LFG is un fucking reliable

calm shard
#

because now you have to have insecure dipshits that just want to get carried assess you based on your fuckin' profile lmao

balmy flume
#

TBF Party Finder groups are...well, even if you find non-carry people, things do just tend to fall apart quickly.
Havoc almost makes voice-comms a necessity.

#

A single mistake even by decent people can just send the whole run into a death spiral

warm bolt

#

The only true meta is to pick your team based on how well they coordinate their portrait, frame, and medal thingy

balmy flume
#

Or you could just LFG using Discord instead.
At least you will have voxcasters setup, so you can actually communicate effectively.

warm bolt
#

Yeah discord is pretty much required for havoc imo

#

I was being attacked by a hound and no amount of pings and my vet yelling "HOUND" made my zealot notice me

sage adder
#

Only reason we were able to save them.

warm bolt
#

KEKW_ogryn Kinda funny ngl

sage adder
#

they had like 5% health left but thats besides the point

warm bolt
#

Imagine being a story above some vet and you get so shaken by him yelling "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT" you cease all activity

sage adder
#

Either that or there just barely enough LoS for it to count

#

Which is likely the real reason it registered

tepid zinc
warm bolt
#

KEKW_ogryn Well it was a good game for him

tepid zinc
#

True

sage adder
#

I need to break the habit of just grabbing everything I see because holy fuck do I keep wasting ammo with overfill

warm bolt
sage adder
#

Throwing by accident.

crimson wyvern
#

Poxbursters are fucking nukes in high level too, its not a small deal. I still don't get how the people I play with, not unsignificant true-levels still choose to shoot them over their teammates

warm bolt
balmy flume
sage adder
#

I rather shove them

#

Easier for collatoral kills

balmy flume
#

I do the same

crimson wyvern
#

Thats how it should be

balmy flume
#

If onyl to avoid accidental collateral

calm shard
#

I shoot poxbursters if I have enough damage to one shot them and they're far away

sage adder
#

Also makes brain happy to shove them into a swarm and watch them all blow up

tepid zinc
warm bolt
#

Unless it's way away from the team i run up to shove

crimson wyvern
#

I dunno if this is accurate, but poxbursters seem to delete all toughness and take about a wound of corrupt and leave me on about 25% health on high level.

sage adder
#

What makes me sad is when I dont pay attention to my stamina and I try to shove just to realize I have 0 stamina

balmy flume
#

One place I never shoot Pox Bursters if I can help it
Is the beginning bit at Inter-Void

sage adder
#

VoC reflex salvaged one of those.

balmy flume
#

You know, THAT bit

latent parcel
crimson wyvern
sage adder
#

Also curious does over-toughness like, negate corruption damage for a bit?

#

Swear I sometimes have it and take no corruption damage as long as I had it from sources that normally give it.

warm bolt
crimson wyvern
#

They love it yeah

sage adder
#

I was downed once and when a teammate revived me shit you not 3 pox bursters simultaneously jumped on me

#

I got farmed.

warm bolt
balmy flume
#

Havoc tends to do that

sage adder
warm bolt
#

Literally this but with poxbombs

sage adder
#

Wish I clipped it but oh well

#

Lately I got into a state of just dodging the moment I hear a trapper shot going off even if it wasnt aimed at me

#

I remember being told by a friend when we were playing Remnant I think they said 'even if they aren't aggro'd to you, dodge anyway'

warm bolt
#

Better safe than sorry

frigid tusk
#

What's the perks for rashad weapon specialist vet? Flak/Carapace, or Elite/Carapace?

#

Ik zealots running ij/fury go flak/cara but dunno what the bp distribution looks like for vet

visual rampart
winter grove
#

Does bistol work for havoc?

pseudo fiber
#

Yes I believe so

#

Puncture and lethal proximity

winter grove
pseudo fiber
#

Smokes over shredders if you're using bolt pistol isn't great

#

I'd switch to survivalist which would be a lot more useful in havoc anyway due to reduced ammo pick ups

calm shard
#

isn't survivalist also reduced in havoc?

pseudo fiber
#

I'd also drop rending strikes for either focus target or weapon specialist

pseudo fiber
#

I'd have to check

frigid tusk
#

Is it actually unarmored/maniac?

unreal nova
frigid tusk
heavy rover
#

if you're worried about as much ammo economy as possible on havoc, I recommend using the mk ii infantry las w/ headhunter and ghost + flak and maniac. Combined with deadshot and survivalist, I don't find myself panicking over ammo. If anything, I let my teammates know they can grab ammo when I find it

pseudo fiber
#

I think it's unarmoured maniac or Carapace on vet

frigid tusk
unreal nova
calm shard
#

also worth taking determined with infantry lasgun

#

because suppression is a bitch

unreal nova
#

Also, what do you mean, WS? I thought you wanted FT?

pseudo fiber
frigid tusk
unreal nova
#

Glares at @frigid tusk.

winter grove
#

At least I assume it works

pseudo fiber
#

Does it work like that?

#

I am not versed enough in the mechanics to tell you that

winter grove
#

@tall torrent please tell me it works I beg you

serene bough
#

lethal prox doesnt apply to smokes

winter grove
#

FUUUUUCK

#

Alright frags time

serene bough
#

i still wonder if lethal prox is even intended to work the way it currently is

#

doesnt seem right

winter grove
#

Shredder frags now

winter grove
#

I don't want fatshark fixing it 😭

serene bough
#

well good luck with it

#

im not sure how bolt weapons do in havoc

#

my impression was bad bc ammo economy bad

pseudo fiber
serene bough
#

yeah investing a point into FT or WS sounds like a good idea

#

i dont generally find rending strikes useful

pseudo fiber
#

Then you have a good build right there

winter grove
#

Yeah did exactly that

serene bough
#

its one of those talents you take if you need to push a very specific breakpoint

winter grove
#

Free damage and all

#

Like totally free point I can't fit into anything else useful

frigid tusk
serene bough
#

well using your build i'd rather put the dmg point into Marksman since you're running VoC

winter grove
frigid tusk
#

Oh lol

winter grove
#

It's literally free damage

#

But oh so unimportant

winter grove
#

But I mean

#

Meh

#

It's not really doing anything for rashad

serene bough
#

at any rate a point in FT or WS is definitely more meaningful than a point in rending strikes

winter grove
#

Yes

serene bough
#

but i'd probably remove the invested point above infiltrate if I wanted to take rending or other WS/FT subnodes

pseudo fiber
#

I think that's a visual bug

#

It's meant to be pathing from survivalist

serene bough
#

yeah i think you're right

winter grove
#

Oh what the fuck

#

Yeah it's a visual bug

sage adder
#

Talents do that sometimes

#

Often when retracting talent points

#

Probably confusing itself on whether or not it wants to show the visual.

winter grove
#

Yeah it's supposed to be patching from survivalist

#

But gameslantern farted itself

What is a good shotgun to combine with weapon spec/

#

and agile

tame berry
#

who can read france ?
i need help tranlate a perk XD

pseudo fiber
ocean idol
#

and snipers

pseudo fiber
#

It has a surprisingly high single minimum pellet count so you can usually kill a sniper with 2 M1s

ocean idol
#

still

#

Man-stopper + deathspitter?

pseudo fiber
#

Manstopper scattershot I think? Check pins

ocean idol
#

NAh, why take scattershot

#

you have guaranteed crits

pseudo fiber
#

You make a fair point I guess if you aren't quick switching for that specific moment

#

Do manstopper flechette lmao

light ridge
ocean idol
#

Is there any point to this...

#

Pretty sure everything dies to crit from it?

#

deathspitter is truly not terribly useful with weapon spec switching though indeed

#

so might as well take flechette

tame berry
#

brother

light ridge
#

sure

ocean idol

f*ench

euuuw

Wait, we talking France French or Quebec French?

Belgian French solved it 😅

tame berry
ocean idol
#

Agile is such a stupid blessing lol

sullen jackal
#

the double barrel with right most keystone very fun btw

#

shoot one shot, kill three with melee, shoot one shot, forever

frank ledge
#

Needs more base cleave

ocean idol
#

I keep forgetting th at weapon spec also increases ranged attack speed

#

so it is good on large mag weapons too

sullen jackal
frank ledge
#

NOT ENOUGH

#

MORE

sullen jackal
#

the three kills are for 100% crit

frank ledge
sullen jackal
#

(you might could get away with two)

ocean idol
#

2 is enough really

#

sometimes even 1

sullen jackal
#

one every time 50% of the time

#

but yeah you usually have the double barrel for horde thinning while DS or melee weapon of choice gets the kill procs and carapace

tough crest
#

What if they give the SAW the ability to take the Infernus blessing ?

hasty grove

Plasma Pistol whennnn

#

I wanna be like that one Cadian from the the Tithes episode

Power sword

Just power sword

formal ice

what do people think of the chain sword

#

Every time I see people use it they are light spamming into hordes

calm shard

the green one is only good at horde clear

#

the blue one is bad at everything

formal ice
calm shard
#

it sucks

formal ice
#

Chain axe better

sleek garden
#

chain sword one shots poxwalkers I guess

calm shard
#

so does the heavy sword, and it also does only horde clear

inland orchid
calm shard
#

but is better into ragers

sleek garden
#

Surely there's other things it is decent at but yeah I just put savage sweep and rampage

inland orchid
#

Besides that I don’t see em often

sleek garden
#

Seems to do the same thing as devils claw

sleek garden
crisp oak
#

Yup just you kill ragers less safely

sleek garden
#

It seems to have enough impact to stagger them if you time it eight

#

Right

#

I also like revving then stabbing people

crisp oak
#

For dclaw I pretty much only use heavies and parry

#

Whichever mark has a the completely horizontal heavies

sleek garden
#

That is mk1

#

Gold handle

#

I use that as well

crisp oak
#

For chainsword I was just spamming lights with the mk13

hasty grove
crisp oak
#

And revving ragers

sleek garden
#

I was trying to use it and doing all right

hasty grove
#

Anyone who thinks the chainsword is bad are just coping RAHHH

sleek garden
#

It was weird seeing that heavies and lights do the same damage

sleek garden
#

I also use the chainaxe

hasty grove
crisp oak
#

I dislike chain weapons because the mk4 chainaxe gave me ptsd

sleek garden

It seems to do the same thing but hits harder and is slightly slower

formal ice

Power Sword for me

tame lodge

I really cannot like the power sword

It's the ultimate VOC weapon

Because the only time you can use it is when all the enemies are on the floor

tame lodge

And of course
The Chainsword is goated on zealot

hasty grove

I’m not a fan of the power sword cus it’s… just a sword

barren nimbus

Not as much on vet

hasty grove

Kinda boring to me tbh

FATSHARK

sleek garden

It's a really bad sword when you can't melee without power

balmy flume

I can understand why, even though I have gotten VERY used to it...and yes I run VoC lol.
Power Sword, without VoC, right, the trick is block -> shove -> activate -> swing

Sword with a duracell battery taped to it

Chainswors is bad mf’ers forgetting the most important rule (the rule of cool)

light ridge
# sleek garden Surely there's other things it is decent at but yeah I just put savage sweep and...

I've been using the XIIIg lately
Stagger on lights is pretty ok, short of ragers and ogryns
Revved will lock anything you hit with it
Revved heavy + Bloodletter will one shot most things short of a crusher or bulwark
Bloodletter and revved light attack can one shot everything up to a mauler if you don't hit him in the head
Light + Savage Sweeps deals with hordes
Both heavy and light are good enough to deal with any flak armored elites and specials that you don't necessarily need to crowd control

It's actually a nice all rounder but not really a master of anything
My previous favorite was the shock maul but the chainsword just makes things dead faster

barren nimbus
#

the powersword is so powerful you have to stop everything youre doing to turn it on

formal ice
balmy flume
#

It's part of the tradeoff, pretty much]

hasty grove
formal ice
#

Looks cool

hasty grove
#

Like it’s so top heavy it’d snap off the haft with any given swing

#

Every swing is a sprained wrist loll

crisp oak
formal ice
#

Give it to ogryn as secret weapon

crisp oak
#

My favorite weapon on vet, is the mk1 shovel

#

Just wish it had better ttk on basically everything

barren nimbus
#

can ogryns get powermauls with shield

light ridge
#

I want to like shovel but Mk1 is like hitting things with a pool noodle and the other marks are one trick ponies that can kill anything while folded but otherwise also suffer from pool noodle syndrome

crisp oak
tame lodge
inland orchid
#

Special’s dedicated to stationary shield

calm shard
#

that should be an ogryn slab shield mark

crisp oak
calm shard
#

instead of plant shield you turn the power maul on

crisp oak
#

Unlike the csword (also lights do enough damage to hordes and heavies control)

barren nimbus
inland orchid
barren nimbus
#

zealot with noodle arms hitting harder than ogryn

calm shard
#

anywys when are ogryn gonna get a combat knife-esque weapon where they just punch heretics

crisp oak
#

Its called cleaver

calm shard
#

I don't think you understand what I said

crisp oak
#

Use special

calm shard
#

I want there to be no weapon as part of this equation maybe like fuckin' knuckledusters at best

#

ogryn smash

crisp oak
#

Slap

#

Slap

#

Slap

#

Slap

calm shard
#

and have it be their high mobility type weapon

crisp oak
#

Funniest shit Ive seen

calm shard
#

similar in style to the combat knife/dueling sword with bad cleave but crunches elites

barren nimbus
#

shock knuckles

crisp oak
#

Dont think the devs want ogryn to have high mobility weapons

barren nimbus
#

I think the devs want ogryn to feel as terrible as possible

pseudo fiber
#

Knuckledusters or just metal gauntlets aren't super unrealistic

#

They'd have to ask GW

#

Ugggghhhh

calm shard
#

and games workshop would be like "there isn't a mini of unarmed ogryn so you can't"

inland orchid

GW! GIVE FATSHARK PERMS FOR POWERFIST OGRYN AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

pseudo fiber

#

No shirtless because there's no mini for ot

Real thing that happened in this game

calm shard

#

No 1 handed flail on warrior priest of sigmar because they don't have one on tabletop

pseudo fiber
tame lodge
#

Except they tried to balance that around the number of enemies hit

#

Bully Clubs hit really hard with Thrust and Crunch

#

3 cap

#

Despite the high cleave

#

Cleavers traded some damage for a pretty high cleave and good damage distribution against Unarmored, Infested and Unyielding

#

Then gave it a blessing that ignores mass if fully charged heavy

#

So that pretty high cleave is whatever

#

Karsolas? Heavy

#

Shield? Heavy

#

Shovels? Heavy

#

Power Maul is probably the only one that you can light attack

Because fast sweeps and infinitum

The 20% to toss 2 grenades node seems highly underrated

it is unreliable, that's it

pastel pumice

Ah, a gambler.

It is great against big mixed hordes though

#

Killing 20 ragers with grenade bleeding is funny

#

I do use sometimes full grenades build

tame lodge
#

90% of the vets quit before throwing 2 grenades at once

marsh shard

People drool over 25% melee crit chance on 5 dodges, but ignore 20% chance to nuke entire room

Lethal proximity + tinkerer + twinned + Demo team

pastel pumice

Nah, I'd melee.

marsh shard
#

You throw 20 nades, on average that 4 rooms you cleared

ocean idol
tame lodge
#

And you dodge 500+ times a game

marsh shard
#

Shredder is like the primary damage of vet, no?

radiant chasm
#

And it is semi consistent

Thats like 20% chance of doubling like atleast 50% of your damage

Since it’s pseudo rng

In a 20min game, youre throwing like 30 nades not counting the 5% chance to get more
