sterile tendon
#

Thank you

orchid hemlock
#

Uh

#

I'm not sure what u mean by that but ig?

sterile tendon
#

Is it ment for healing

orchid hemlock
#

Braced is sorta like a specialist/wave clearing tool for mixed hordes

icy lance
#

Anyone has a good build for a shock moul vet?

sterile tendon
#

I looked at it

#

@orchid hemlock it will be perfect

#

Won’t be able to pull it off completely till I am a higher level

grand perch
#

heres what i do. ranged weapon would be bolt pistol in this setup

#

(actually i use exploit weakness instead of 25 toughness but shht)

#

feel free to go one motion > out for blood > movespeed node at the start instead

past oriole
#

lord give me strength

tall torrent
grand perch
#

But it's not the mighty @tired egret

past oriole
#

will it grant me the juicy extra +1 shot

tall torrent
past oriole
#

its like my third day trying to roll for the 69 71

past oriole
tall torrent
past oriole

#

U get like 10ms extra pre-fire delay

#

No big deal

#

U have to be a special kind of special to tell that difference

past oriole

i am neo the frames breathe through me

hearty panther
#

you got it right

tall torrent
#

I think

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

ye das it

tall torrent
#

I'm now only 42 weapons away from finishing the weapons section

thorn lark
#

Where is the most recent version of your build?

past oriole
#

wow dont think ive ever gotten a score like this before

thorn lark
#

Wait

#

I played with you at some point

#

Someone called you sgt clutch

faint beacon
#

Path summoning me for the Agri IX Vigilant section

#

Lmao

thorn lark
#

Are you a taxe user or something?

past oriole
#

nah i hate t axe

#

i use rashad and shovel usually

thorn lark
#

Ok it was an axe

past oriole
#

yeah rashad is insanely strong and easy

#

fun to just lmb into hordes

austere mica
#

I like thinking when I play

orchid hemlock
#

time to turn off my brain then:

past oriole
#

shovel is my favourite wep

knotty bay
#

What melee weapon should I grind so far I've only really used the dueling sword

heavy rover
#

Rashad combat axe

thorn lark
#

Combat knife

arctic rampart
#

got the shovel, heavy sword, chain sword, chain axe, tac axe, etc. next tier weapons that people enjoy but are not the same level

tame lodge
#

Just bring something for monstrosities and Smaul will go bzzzzt

radiant chasm
#

smaul is meh besides it counters bulwarks

#

which is uhh, something vet doesn't struggle with usually

pseudo fiber
#

But it is fun

lime marsh
#

What do you guys recommend for the every shot count penence

tall torrent
lime marsh
#

Does every pellet count towards acurracy

tall torrent
lime marsh
#

Can I did comet and reconnect to reset acuracy or did they fix it

normal sparrow
lime marsh
#

What map do you recommend for this or the easiest way to get it done

normal sparrow
#

Just do rolling steel or twins so you have less time for pain
Keep blasting your low ammo gun

charred pulsar
#

Which mark of the recon lasgun is the most ammo efficient?

hollow ibex
#

coincidentally, also my preferred mark

visual remnant
#

Pos..

#

Pls..

stoic thorn
#

God why is the shotgun so ass

#

The slug one is so ass 💔💔

#

Actually all of them are

past oriole
radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

What

radiant chasm
#

Agri turns into a railgun that competes with zarona outside of cara/unyielding

#

Accatran turns back into a decent weapon

#

And zarona (formerly lawby) wipes horde and low tier elites with ease

radiant chasm
#

Manstopper

#

A metric shit ton of cleave if you crit, and vet can force a lot of ranged crits

tame lodge
tall torrent
#

This is a game where a revolver has better hipfire than a shotgun

radiant chasm
#

Also yea agri shotgun still oneshots trash shooters at mid range with it’s normal rounds, sure they aren’t the best weapon but they aren’t ass

radiant chasm
#

Hell even in havoc i think a meme manstopper flechette could still do work no?

tall torrent
#

DB works

radiant chasm
#

Force crits, bleed goes through pox hardened

#

Yee

tall torrent
#

Because DB actually kills things

#

Unlike combat shotguns

radiant chasm
#

Yea but that’s havoc 40

tall torrent
#

Nah even in base game

radiant chasm
#

The havoc 40 meta is basically it’s own game

tall torrent
#

Combat shoguns’ consistency is wack

radiant chasm
#

I think all the combat shotguns besides like

#

Accatran

tall torrent
#

They’re not consistent at all

#

Which is their biggest problem

radiant chasm
#

Cause kanty just ate too much nerfed before the name change

tall torrent
#

Their ammo pool would be fine if they were consistent headshot 1 tap weapons

#

Because every other headshot 1 tap weapon has ~same amount of ammo as them

#

Excluding the mk7 v.auto

visual remnant
#

Tank u

#

@severe gale

stoic thorn
#

How can I force crits on vet

tall torrent
#

Weapon specialist

stoic thorn
#

Is it just weapon spec

tall torrent
#

Or deadshot

stoic thorn
#

I think there's a node above exe stance for 10% crit chance for 20% of clip after reload

radiant chasm
severe gale
radiant chasm
#

Or weapon spec

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

It's fun on plasma I think

#

Big clip = funny

#

It triggers more than 20% damage if noones within 8m of you

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

Because there's always someone within 8m of you

radiant chasm
#

Doesn’t plasma take more ammo per shot

tall torrent
#

Opening salvo is

radiant chasm
#

So the value isn’t even that good

#

Lol

stoic thorn
#

Idk

tall torrent
#

Pathetically mid outside of a few weapons

stoic thorn
#

Plasma vaporises

#

I also ran it for like recon las

tall torrent
#

It really only matters for Helbore / recon / laspistol

stoic thorn
#

Fastest firing mark

#

With infernus

tall torrent
#

With shock trooper

radiant chasm
#

Idk id rather just take recip

tall torrent
#

And maybe the Vraks 5

#

But that’s if you’re going through exe stance in the first place

radiant chasm
#

Your always dodging

tall torrent
#

If u don’t take exe stance, it’s not worth 1 point

radiant chasm
#

Yea also true

#

Exec stance stinky

#

When shout exists

stoic thorn
#

I love exe stance

#

Very good with my plasma

tall torrent
#

Exe stance plasma is very sad

stoic thorn
#

Or my infantry las

tall torrent
#

Mainly because it’s like 5% damage off every breakpoint

stoic thorn
radiant chasm
#

Exec stances mega hard investing for bps

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

Shout vets accepting they just need to shoot one more time if they barely invest

stoic thorn
#

But I need that vetovision

tall torrent
#

Exe stance’s whole schtick for plasma is to pre-fire wallbang

#

If you’re not using it for that purpose it’s sorta just not great

stoic thorn
#

Infantry las is better though right

#

For it

tall torrent
#

The +25% damage is additive, not multiplicative, so it’s actually like 5~8% damage off from major breakpoints

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

^

stoic thorn
#

I am not running boltgun

radiant chasm
#

inflas can just use it’s middle ground mark

#

And go shout

tall torrent
#

Exe stance Boltgun is prob the highest damage build on veteran

stoic thorn
#

I quite like the highest damage one

radiant chasm
#

I see a lot of people who juice what used to be the meta lasgun (highest damage)

stoic thorn
#

Rewards precision

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

What

#

I think ill

radiant chasm
#

But it’s just 10x easier, more ammo efficient and higher rof

tall torrent
#

It’s not very good

stoic thorn
#

Just stop playing this fucking game

radiant chasm
#

To go down to the middle ground mark

#

Lol lmao

#

Knowledge is a curse

stoic thorn
tall torrent
#

Lasgun IX is the same shots to kill as VII but with much slower firerate and more ADS sway

radiant chasm
#

It dont even remember it got nerfed, more so power crept and people solved the game

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

At least I still have my chainsword

#

Kills the horde

tall torrent
#

Oh no

stoic thorn
#

The true cadia

radiant chasm
#

It’s basically do you want to do the bare minimum investment and get 2shot bps with mk7

stoic thorn
#

Power sword sucks ass

tall torrent
#

Cadia fell because they had chainswords instead of axes

stoic thorn
#

Gotta power it up first

radiant chasm
#

Or do you super hard invest to barely hit mk9 inflas breakpoints

stoic thorn
radiant chasm
radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

If they all went exe stance they could've shot the Blackstone fortress out of orbit

radiant chasm
#

Cause they vanished into dust

tall torrent
radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

Cadia fell because they didn't get the stealth zealot with the thammer

#

Abbadon would've been cooked

tall torrent
#

Chainsword is prob one of the worst options on veteran

radiant chasm
#

Ehh

stoic thorn
#

I'm fucking killing myself

tall torrent
#

So iconic
So one dimensional

radiant chasm
#

Idk about worst

stoic thorn
#

I am about to shoot someone

radiant chasm
#

I think there is a couple things worse

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

Than chsword

stoic thorn
#

What's next

#

The chainaxe

tall torrent
#

It would be good
If it had 2x the single target damage and stagger

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

On my zealot

radiant chasm
#

Chaxe has always been iffy on vet

#

It’s great on zealot tho

stoic thorn
#

Good

#

I was about to start tweaking

tall torrent
#

Wouldn’t call it “great” on zealot

radiant chasm
#

Cause it likes attack speed and damage stacking

tall torrent
#

More like, fine

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

I keep fucking dying on zealot

radiant chasm
#

Unless you factor in havoc

stoic thorn
#

I can't dodge

radiant chasm
#

Then you are just, limiting your fun

stoic thorn
#

I keep running tf out

tall torrent
#

The damage distribution cap is still just so wrong

radiant chasm
#

And not panic

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

No I just like fury of the faithful and jumpscare myself into the horde

#

Blood for the god emperor

#

I'm trying to just spam heavies

radiant chasm
#

And mk4 chaxe is extremely safe single target because it can light spam

stoic thorn
#

Because that's how I think I get my toughness back

#

Mainly

tall torrent
radiant chasm
#

Which is the biggest downside to chain weapons is their long activation+activated shred animations

tall torrent
#

B tier pick

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

God I hate psyker

#

It's like a plasma gun but worse

radiant chasm
#

Force urself to dodge

#

Stop panic dodging

#

Learn the timer where all your charges regen at once

#

Ultra instinct requires a calm mind and body

stoic thorn
#

I wish one of my vet weapons weren't so ass

#

Like the plasma or highest dmg infantry las

#

Or make exe stance better

radiant chasm
#

I learned via brute force, pre nerf chaos spawn when i was using chaxe when it had the worse dodges in the game

tall torrent
#

Plasma is good

#

Just wouldn’t run it with exe stance

stoic thorn
#

God please buff exe stance

tall torrent
#

It’s playable

radiant chasm
#

Plasma is one of the better weapons lol you just dont know what makes it good yet

tall torrent
#

The problem is pathing

#

2 bad nodes

radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

I want to vaporise specials and elites

#

I am not fucking running psyker

radiant chasm
#

75% DR infinite duration confirmed kill at 25% instant /25% overtime that stacked

#

Instant reload

tall torrent
#

If u rly want to play exe stance I think Boltgun is by far the best gun for that

radiant chasm
#

Puncture lethal proximity

#

Nades and bistol solve all your issues, my melee is the mk1 shovel

stoic thorn
#

Plasma and chainsword was the reason I bought this game

radiant chasm
#

I mean that’s a fine build

stoic thorn
#

I saw that shit once and went "man I want to fucking gamble"

radiant chasm
#

Plasma and chsword cover eachother’s weakness

stoic thorn
#

I'm very disappointed because there's no gambling in the plasma

tall torrent
#

I wish chainsword was better

stoic thorn
#

Factual

radiant chasm
#

I fear one buff will make it like the recons

stoic thorn
#

Die

radiant chasm
#

Where everyone starts running it

tall torrent
radiant chasm
stoic thorn
#

The plasma exe stance functions well enough for me atm

radiant chasm
#

Chsword crit dmg doesn’t fall off with cleave any substantial buffs risk it being the dominant meta

stoic thorn
#

I just need the chainsword to be buffed

tall torrent
#

Give it more chain-revved damage
Give it enough stagger to interrupt rager combo on weakspot hit with heavy atk
Give it more single target damage outside of chain-rev

radiant chasm
#

And psykers and vets lol

tall torrent
#

That’s fine

#

That’s many fewer duelling swords in use

#

Which is quite good

stoic thorn
#

Please buff the chainsword it'll be the only cadian boon this edition

radiant chasm
#

At least the fucking weapon swap macro was killed by fatshark

#

The macro abusing chsword users were annoying

#

And they have all become quell cancel macro users

tall torrent
#

Because as it stands Chainsword’s anti-elite is just miserable

stoic thorn
#

Is the chainsword good for hordes

tall torrent
#

It’s a one trick horde clear

#

And not even the best at it

radiant chasm
#

Yes

stoic thorn
#

I rev it from time to time because God damn it's so satisfying

radiant chasm
#

It’s basically only chaff clear

stoic thorn
#

Bruisers?

radiant chasm
#

It falls off when you start putting in bruisers

stoic thorn
#

I'm about to kill myself

#

Actually that's fine

#

5 dodges

#

Plenty

radiant chasm
#

I mean 13g with wrath or mk4 with rampage shred or rampage sweep can handle it

#

It’s just, a nose dive

tall torrent
#

Combat axe has 5 dodges & same mobility
Way better anti-elite
Way better single target vs carapace & unyielding
Still faster horde clear

radiant chasm
#

Compared to it’s poxwalker/groaner clear

stoic thorn
tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

I will die before thay

#

Boltgun stinky

#

I say with a maxed out boltgun

tall torrent
#

Ig if u just don’t care about optimizing builds that’s fine

stoic thorn
#

It works for aurics

#

I think

tall torrent
#

Auric doesn’t need that much build optimization

stoic thorn
#

I don't want to go havoc

tall torrent
#

U can beat 3veg by getting carried randomly

#

It’s how much u want to carry

#

Where optimization starts mattering a bit more

stoic thorn
#

Being a plasma user from the get go made me very focused on targeting elites and specials

#

Honestly bistol doesn't sound all too bad

#

I used bistol when I was zealoting

#

Not too shabby

tall torrent
#

Boltgun hits every 1 tap breakpoint that plasma normally doesn’t
And it’s not like chainsword needs much melee investment for veteran anyway

#

Even if u turbo invest into melee talents, chainsword is still just chainsword

stoic thorn
#

It goes brrr

#

And dreg bruisers look very tasty

#

Hit them with an overhead from like the mk13 while revving it and sparks come flying out

#

It's very

#

Satisfying

#

So is repeatedly hitting crushers with it with the revving on

#

God I hate gunners

#

They don't die to one hit plasma

tall torrent
#

They do tho

stoic thorn
#

I can't hit headshots so uh

#

Not with the plasma

#

For some reason

tall torrent
#

With exe stance it’s 1 bodyshot kill pretty sure

stoic thorn
#

I go monkey mode with plasma

tall torrent
#

If u build talents correctly

stoic thorn
#

Sometimes it isnt

tall torrent
#

Nah

stoic thorn
#

Maybe I've got the wrong blessins

#

I run flak/unyield

#

So I can deal with ogryns and contribute more with bosses

tall torrent
#

Yea that’s built wrong

#

Too bad

stoic thorn
#

What the fuck

#

Is it then

tall torrent
#

Unarmored + flak/maniac

stoic thorn
#

What the fuck

tall torrent
#

Normally anyway

#

If u run exe stance and don’t care about headshots

stoic thorn
#

Who tf got unarmoured

#

Unless it's like

tall torrent
#

I guess flak + maniac?

stoic thorn
#

The dreg gunners

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

Maniacs I already beat the shit out of

tall torrent
#

And Tox bomber

stoic thorn
#

I alr oneshot that fucker anyway so

#

Maybe

wanton dawn
#

Unarmored flak in h40 for me

stoic thorn
#

Flak/Unarmoured

#

Blessings?

tall torrent
#

Flak + unarmored is the standard build

#

Rising heat + gets hot

stoic thorn
#

I think I got those

#

Then I'm useless for bosses

wanton dawn
#

Stop shooting bosses

stoic thorn
#

I am not fucking meleeing the bosses

#

I don't want to get vored

#

By the beast of nurgle

bleak cradle
#

Bubble bubble. And/or dodge throw up

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

I can run Psword

#

I've got it maxed out

tall torrent
#

anyways this is ur plasma exe stance 1 bodyshot

stoic thorn
#

Peak

wanton dawn
#

You marked it staregryn

stoic thorn
#

I think I'll send my build later

tall torrent
#

Yea what else are u supposed to build

stoic thorn
#

I run weapons spec

tall torrent
#

It needs redirect fire for bodyshot breakpoint

stoic thorn
#

Oh

#

Change of plans

#

Then it's focus target then

tall torrent
#

u can take either exe stance pathing talent, both are ass

stoic thorn
#

I dont

#

I take the right side

tall torrent
#

killzone doesn't matter much for this build's breakpoint since it's hard carried by redirect fire anyway

stoic thorn
#

Right side to trench drill

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

What

tall torrent
#

built exe stance just to miss 1 taps

stoic thorn
#

What does Rending do again

tall torrent
#

u don't need it for plasma

stoic thorn
#

Oh

wanton dawn
#

I dont like this build whatthefuck_heresy

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

Anyway imma go home and read what weapon spec actually does

tall torrent
#

I wouldn’t run exe stance for plasma in the first place

wanton dawn
#

It makes your melee go brrr

stoic thorn
#

So the stacks for weapon specialist matter for the ranged attack speed or

wanton dawn
#

And your first shot go crit

tall torrent
#

It’s more for automatics

wanton dawn
stoic thorn
#

So the main point of weapon spec is the crits

#

I'm guessing like after 3 stacks of ranged spec it's just a guaranteed crit

tall torrent
stoic thorn
#

Aight

tall torrent
#

But unfortunately you got a chainsword so

#

That melee side bonus doesn’t make that huge of a difference

grand perch
tall torrent
#

The downside is u have to take superiority complex

#

It’s way way way harder without superiority complex

#

Also I just finished braced autoguns’ stagger breakpoints

#

So much pain and suffering

grand perch
#

kinda my point. i dont want to miss out on WS + subnode / bring it down + rending strikes / or demo team + other just to get superiority

#

not when the taxe is the focus of the build

tall torrent
#

rending strikes is not needed for tac axe

tall torrent
#

u just gotta accept that it will be bad vs carapace & unyielding no matter what

grand perch
#

so this outdated?

normal sparrow
tall torrent
#

Everything else is simple from that point on

#

I think 2nd blessing is build dependent

#

Best use case is obv lethal prox with frag grenades

#

But if u want it to be revolver 0.8

#

Point blank is genuinely not bad

#

Lasts quite a while and allows u to crit bodyshot 1 tap things

#

Can’t 1 tap bodyshot dreg rager like revolver tho KEKW_ogryn

#

So it’s still not as good as revolver but for auric that kinda doesn’t matter

normal sparrow
#

I think i only have 5% ranged damage node in mine, the one over/under ammo aura
Oneshot carried by weapon spec crit KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Well

#

One of the 5% ranged damage nodes can be substituted by fire team

normal sparrow
#

Also puncture to finish off trapper bodyshot

tall torrent
#

So it’s not hard to get

normal sparrow
#

Just checked, 5% ranged and puncture KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
normal sparrow
tall torrent
#

Nah flamers are in 1 headshot territory

wanton dawn
#

Can you even not get 2×5% ranged or ranged+fire team on a build that tries ?

tall torrent
#

Without superiority complex, it’s hard to build breakpoint

normal sparrow
#

I just put it at good enough KEKW_ogryn

wanton dawn
#

I guess if you go speed aura ?

tall torrent
#

Redirect fire + fire team is missing 12 damage on scab gunner for 1HS

#

Smth like that

normal sparrow
#

Path frags > ammo aura > right/middle nodes for weapon spec KEKW_ogryn

wanton dawn
#

Yeah but not taking left for weakspot is also hurting melee

#

Left tree weakspot, ammo and complex are great for ws build

normal sparrow
#

Replaced the 30% weakspot talent for nade regen + tinkerer thumbsup_ogryn

Im not the one exploding KEKW_ogryn
Both heresy and damnation (auric doesnt exist yet) are populated with these assail monkeys that literally hold w and m1 assail

In a 1000 hours I think I've only had 2 runs with macro spammers
Once two vets, stuff died suspiciously fast and the tag spam was nuts
Once a psyker, didn't help him much in the end...

gritty mural
#

i remember a vet using tag spam, that shit was annoying to hear

sturdy karma
#

If I’m running focus target and I tag a mob and someone kills it before I get to shoot my bolt pistol is saddens me that if I had just shot instead of spending the 0.5s tagging that would have been my kill

#

On the Asia central server those guys love a ping/tag

#

Guess it makes sense since I assume they all speak different languages

grand perch
#

tagspamming is annoying as fuck

#

you can turn it off in the sound options but that shouldnt be on me. i want to hear pings, just not 10 per second

You can have the penance done in like 8 aurics maybe less if you hip fire hordes in the face

And it’s also fun because when you do get 10 stacks on an IAG oh baby the shit goes

Yeah, its making me play worse by trying to conform to the keystones playstyle

I just ignored the grace period and relied on the fact the IAG headshots are so frequent and pretty much one tap into hordes even if your stacks start to decay it fills straight back up

Treat it like gun psyker scriers gaze

I haven't taken one into havoc but I normally used like Skullcrusher and the one that has a chance to stun on hit

Currently taking the troll blessing that stuns on timed block

crisp oak
#

I dont like them

sleek garden
#

It's funny

crisp oak
#

Idk why but the range doesnt feel right to me

sleek garden
#

It only applies to one enemy so if a poxwalker hits you right before the rager you only stun the poxwalker not the rager

crisp oak
#

Yup

#

But I mean like its lights and heavies

#

Just feel so short

#

Compared to say, chainsword/shovel/knife

sleek garden
#

I didn't notice, is it shorter?

crisp oak
#

No idea

sleek garden
#

The main thing I look for in melee is usually horde clear which it has kind of a struggle with but not too bad

sleek garden
#

Duh

#

but I like to try out new things

crisp oak
#

Yeah

#

Did the masteries for the maul

#

Wasnt fun for me

sleek garden
#

Shovel doesnt really horde clear

#

It horde controls

#

The mk1 devils claw horde clears but the lights are lacking in killing power in comparison to shovel

crisp oak
#

Yup

sleek garden
#

and the parry is more situational

#

And lately I tried out the green flip shovel

#

Was interesting

crisp oak
#

Weapons I liked during masteries: shovel, combat axe, dsword, knife, csword, dclaw

sleek garden
#

Might try it again

#

I don't really like the power sword

crisp oak
#

Weapons that I went ehhh on: power sword

sleek garden
#

Its powerful but you need stuff staggered before you fight with it

crisp oak
#

Weapons I didnt like: taxe, smaul

sleek garden
#

So it's useless without tossing a frag first or taking voice of command

#

And I like executor stance

crisp oak
sleek garden
#

Worst weapon in the game to be ambushed with is power sword

crisp oak
#

For braindead horde clear

sleek garden
#

Yeah but activation takes so long and it has horrible blocks and dodges

#

if you aren't using frags or voice of command you just die mid horde because the unpowered strikes are ridiculously weak

crisp oak
#

Yup

#

You need good spacing and methods of cc

sleek garden
#

I was taking it with frags and I ended up running out of frags because I would rather toss frags then use the sword

#

However against like crusher hordes in the one auric maelstrom it's pretty serviceable

#

I always take sunder

crisp oak
#

Just lights

sleek garden
#

I'm using the one with the fat blade

crisp oak
#

Same I think

sleek garden
#

the heavies are straight across

crisp oak
#

Ah

#

Maybe Im using the other one

#

It has horizontal lights

#

So its super braindead

sleek garden
#

You should be using the other one because the fat blade is really really bad

crisp oak
#

Power->light->light->light

sleek garden
#

The other one got buffs and left the old one in the dust

crisp oak
#

As everything combo

sleek garden
#

I think it's munitorum vs scandar

#

Scandar is fat blade

#

I forgot

crisp oak
#

Dont remember the name, just the moveset and combo

sleek garden
#

Yeah

crisp oak
#

Overead heavies

sleek garden
#

The one you use goes from activate to block smoothly

#

The scandar doesn't

#

yours also has innate block stamina cost reduction

#

Scandar doesn't

crisp oak
#

Oof

sleek garden
#

I have no idea why the disparity is this high

#

Difference in usability is night and day

#

But the straight across heavies with sunder is great for lots of heavy armor

#

Good luck fighting even a single rager though

#

4-5 hits to kill a bruiser with diagonal lights

crisp oak
#

Yikes

#

It takes 4 lights to kill 2-3 crushers

I mean unpowered

Need advice on how to build an infantryman lasgun

Is it good an a Sniper rifle?

#

I like the scope a lot

warm bolt
#

Elites, gunners, mildly threatening goons

#

I wish it got it's cannon fire mode switch though

But as for the build what i was recommended is dump mobility, get ghost and headhunter

+25% for maniacs and +25% for flak armour

Dont think im competent enough for that, sorry, but i do remember it being proposed as an alternative

Definitely take ghost

Go way down the left skill tree

You need insane amounts of headshot damage

#

I use flak and elite to one shot scab gunners

crude fiber
# fleet drift Is it good an a Sniper rifle?

If you run maniac and unyielding with headhunter, deadly accurate on a marksmans focus build you can 1 shot anything in the game outside of crusher, maulers, and bosses. Need the crit for reapers

Bulwark will barely survive I think

Longshot is bad imo, don't need the share highlights for exe stance but can run it if you like. Don't recommend deadshot. Determined is not needed on exe stance. The 10% rending at 10 or more stacks is is meh but use it if you like

sleek garden
#

Here is what I use, not necessarily the best

sleek garden
#

but yes no Deadshot

crisp oak
#

No iron will is sorta rough

Probably not the 10% rending modifier for MF

Not necessary

it one shots after a certain range

I don't think it justifies Longshot personally

sleek garden

it helps

20% damage isn't small

I use mine as anti infantry, I stand there and shoot tons of gunners shooters and specialists and as long as I can hit a head consistently I can't be killed

I posted the build already discussions over

You don't need exy stance to snipe

And hellbore is more of a sniper than inf lasgun

Inf las is more a battle rifle

Ex stance is pointless in that voice of command exists

Let the other three voc veterans do that

And trying to play as a true sniper in this game is a trap

btw, which Recon las would you guys take for a Exy Stance crit-focused build?

I know that Shock Trooper gives the free shot per crit chain, which is why I'm asking about this, because otherwise I would just go for mk12 recon (the very fast firerate one) because of its dps alone...

empty root

Starting at like what is it 8 or 12 meters

At 1%

OR LOWER

You can not take voc if you purposefully want to make yourself worse I guess

Basically perfect jack of all trades etc

The actual best class in the game is psyker cause a good psyker can straight up shut down a server

psyker outkills everyone because they have a meter that blows themselves up so they get a massive boost to compensate

Ogryn is insanely unkillable

When there's 4 shooters ogryn loses 200 HP if there's nobody to punch

They get caught out by shooters in an open area

It’s so fucking over

Dude every time I'm not playing veteran it feels like nobody is dealing with mobs of shooters and it drives me crazy

#

I either use rumbler or ripper gun

Rumbler maybe staggers a couple then they keep shooting

#

The ripper has zero suppression

faint beacon

Using rocks on shooters is justified if they’re pissing you off that much

That’s my take

But nobody else has to deal with them
