Already got my weapons sorted with psword and recon

tall torrent
#

then this, just scratch last line

#

power sword has some benefit from atk speed

#

but if ur gonna take atk speed might as well play axe

cloud thunder
#

No weapon spec?

#

^?

tall torrent
#

I think the main advantage of power sword is having a mostly working melee that doesn't need anything in bottom right side

#

because if u need to invest in bottom right side axe is just better

cloud thunder
#

What’s the benefit of swapping from exploit and trench fighter (I understand this one tbh)

#

But exploit for rending?

#

What’s the difference

tall torrent
#

which is really mid if u think about it

cloud thunder
#

20% brittleness vs 10% rending (not sure what this is)

tall torrent
#

anything that actually kills armor is likely to kill them within 2 crits

#

anything that doesn't kill armor is unlikely to kill them that much faster even when they crit twice

crimson pebble
#

even then 20% brittleness isnt needed at all ds is already insane

cloud thunder
#

Not using DS

#

Powersword

crimson pebble
#

still be fine on charged attks

cloud thunder
#

What does rending do exactly

crimson pebble
#

can reliably pushattk light kill crushers

tall torrent
#

in ur build (power sword + recon)

#

recon benefits from boosted ADM quite a bit

#

power sword doesn't

#

so what's the point of using a melee-crit-only ADM modifier

cloud thunder
#

Yeah it’s a build that focuses mainly on recon from what I understand.

tall torrent
#

that build is pretty meh

#

creator clearly doesn't understand how ADMs work

#

and doesn't fully understand duelling sword's role in veteran's arsenal

cloud thunder
#

So you think going the 25 toughness and rending will fit my build?

#

With psword and lasgun

tall torrent
#

it would work better for recon

#

yes

#

and u should grab at least one of the +25 toughness nodes

#

it's free and good

#

curio +% toughness scale from base toughness

cloud thunder
#

I still drop cqkz for 5% crit chance then?

tall torrent
#

yea becasue ur going infernus

cloud thunder
#

Kk

tall torrent
#

5% crit chance scales better than it looks for crit string weapons

#

recon has crit string of 2

#

with crit chance perk + talent

#

ur looking at ~29% crit rate on avg

#

even though ur stated crit chance is 17%

#

this goes higher with reciprocity stacks as well

cloud thunder
#

Yeah and the speed of mk12 would work good

#

So don’t worry about weapons specialist then?

tall torrent
#

if u want to take trench fighter and weapon specialist

#

just play axe instead of power sword

cloud thunder
#

Will this work fine in havoc 40?

tall torrent
#

well, depends on how u play

#

if ur plan is to shoot everything ever u might need to die a few times to get back ammo

cloud thunder
#

Good mix of both melee and ranged

tall torrent
#

prob usable?

cloud thunder
#

Obviously situational

#

Shock trooper should help with the ammo economy a bit, no?

tall torrent
#

but for havoc u can prob do better than that

#

since u don't need a lot of stuff in there

cloud thunder
#

What would you suggest then for psword and recon build

#

Talent wise

tall torrent
#

u can drop desperado for power sword in havoc and get grenadier & twinned blast

#

twinned blast is more value than most people think and scales very well into high spawn games

#

desperado wouldn't be needed as much since u don't have breakpoints to think about

#

reciprocity purely for recon

#

it's kinda awkward for power sword imo

#

I'll also say that O4B generally seems to scale better into havoc compared to CK

#

being able to gain toughness from every kill saves u more than having a lot of passive toughess from killing elites & specials

cloud thunder
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

tall torrent
#

havoc is also where born leader and KTHD both scale better than FTE

#

born leader is like 21 extra toughness from every VoC use

#

which doesn't sound like a lot

#

but means a lot to ur zealot/psyker teammates that have like 60~70 toughness total

cloud thunder
#

I main psyker so. Yeah

hearty panther
#

itll push them right into gold toughness even if they were out

tall torrent
#

yep

hearty panther
#

beeeg deal

tall torrent
#

KTHD on the other hand

#

recon rapid fire actually gets to suppress gunners

#

50/50 pick if u go recon

#

personally I think born leader is more value overall but I also don't play recon much

cloud thunder
#

Would you mind dropping a talent link then? Of what you would suggest to go with psword and recon? No need for weapons or curios. I got those covered

#

Then I can experiment and tweak between the two to fit my playstyle

tall torrent
#

prob rending strikes + superiority complex?

cloud thunder
#

Kk thanks

tall torrent
#

superiority complex is nice

#

but not fully necessary

soft trellis
tall torrent
#

recon kills specialists too slow for red nodes to be up as often

#

can be nice for power sword tho

soft trellis
#

the recon still snipes better than the autopistol at least

tall torrent
#

if u have to take any red node, pick between marksman / CQKZ

soft trellis
#

from my experience the recon is surprisingly accurate for an automatic weapon

tall torrent
#

marksman is more direct dmg because strength is different multiplicative bracket

#

CQKZ is more versatile and applies to ur grenades & bleed as well

soft trellis
soft trellis
#

Good thing I don't share them lol

cloud thunder
#

What about bring it down?

#

That’s a red node but not ability reliant

tall torrent
cloud thunder
#

Well yeah

tall torrent
#

Idk why gameslantern shows it as red

cloud thunder
#

Ah ok

tall torrent
#

Red node for veteran is the “activate ability to XXXX” stuff

cloud thunder
#

Well I was thinking of tweaking some stuff but will experiment

tall torrent
#

If u can get both, it’s fine

cloud thunder
#

My friend just recently started vet

tall torrent
#

But I will also say

cloud thunder
#

And he’s like a really good gamer

tall torrent
#

Bosses in havoc kind of aren’t as big of a deal

cloud thunder
#

He was pumping out like 1.5m I believe in havoc 40 with us

tall torrent
#

It’s the elite spam that wipes teams

#

The only boss that actually is threatening is sword captain

cloud thunder
#

With Lasgun and psword

tall torrent
#

And that’s half due to his invisible sword combo bug

#

Which, BID doesn’t affect

cloud thunder
#

I’m used to havoc 40

#

I run it all the time on psyker so I know what it’s like

tall torrent
#

BID is only ogryn & monster

soft trellis
cloud thunder
#

Just more so trying out veteran now so I can flex with our friend group if someone wants psyker

tall torrent
#

Depends on weapons

#

If ur weapon needs superiority complex for breakpoint, take that

#

If not, take BID

#

I wish superiority complex and fully loaded swapped places

hollow ibex
#

no

sleek garden
#

i think in terms of the vision for the roles theyre in the right spot

hollow ibex
#

i need an excuse to take fully loaded

sleek garden
#

wait arent they right next to each other

soft trellis
tall torrent
cloud thunder
#

Could I move CQKZ over to BID instead (between 5% crit chance and BID)?

tall torrent
#

Especially since u have infernus

cloud thunder
#

But overall with psword?

tall torrent
#

Cuz I’m pretty sure BID doesn’t even push power sword breakpoints in havoc

proven garden
#

How much value do I lose on burn recon lasgun if I shoot until they die instead of waiting for burn to finish them off

soft trellis
#

I honestly don't take my vet or psyker above heresy very often since I don't play them enough, or feel like having to sometimes hard carry damnation with either

cloud thunder
#

It’s nice if I combo grenade with psword cleave (power cycler and sunder), no?

tall torrent
#

U still need 3 hits from PA combo to kill crusher minimum, unless u crit

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t actually do that much vs ogryns

#

Does “some damage” vs bulwarks

soft trellis
tall torrent
#

Minuscule vs crushers

tall torrent
cloud thunder
soft trellis
#

ah, frag nades I would not use against ogryn groups tbh

cloud thunder
#

And my best nodes aren’t until later as vet

#

Crazy to me

tall torrent
#

Nah it staggers them very well

#

In terms of damage it’s ok for bulwarks

soft trellis
#

I mean for damaging them

tall torrent
#

But crushers need specific tools to kill

proven garden
#

Standard curio set is 2 toughness 1 stam with toughness stam regen and 2gunner/1sniper res right

cloud thunder
#

I don’t really run enemy res

tall torrent
#

Havoc?

cloud thunder
#

Just slide

proven garden
#

Idk about havoc yet

tall torrent
cloud thunder
soft trellis
#

Meant to use that as a reply lol

tall torrent
#

U don’t really need stamina outside of knife tbh

proven garden
#

Ah it felt like I was constantly running out with caxe

#

Maybe I’m push attacking too much

soft trellis
#

The only stamina thing I take for vet is 1 -0.25s stamina regen delay

#

That just helps with pushing

#

more than anything

tall torrent
#

Which is usually enough

proven garden
#

Got it

tall torrent
#

If that isn’t, u fked up somewhere else

#

Run like sprint efficiency or smth

proven garden
#

Why sprint eff instead of stam regen

tall torrent
#

(Not trolling it actually helps)

soft trellis
proven garden
#

Or are you saying both at once

tall torrent
soft trellis
#

Yep 1.0s

proven garden
#

Wallahi

soft trellis
#

Wait don't ogryns have that as well?

tall torrent
#

So stamina regen doesn’t activate as often as u think

tall torrent
#

Except sprinting

proven garden
#

I keep getting block broken a lot lmao

cloud thunder
#

Psyker stamina regen goated

tall torrent
#

So ogryn has easier time managing stamina

#

Veteran is the worst stamina management by default

soft trellis
tall torrent
soft trellis
#

Block is a last resort, imo

soft trellis

pushing, dodging, and attacking are the primary ones

#

I’ve seen him take the most weird shit into havoc 40 and outperform anyone

proven garden
#

Idk if kill chasing in havoc 40 is the play

cloud thunder
#

Not just kill chasing

soft trellis
cloud thunder
#

He clutches. Barely takes damage. Etc

#

He’s just good

tall torrent
proven garden
#

True

tall torrent
#

if that requires u to kill a lot, do it

#

which it usually does

soft trellis
#

I always play to win a run, myself. <.<

proven garden
#

Fair enough

soft trellis
#

If I didn't give it everything I got what was the point of even queueing for it?

cloud thunder
# tall torrent works

So overall, good build? Just tweak top side to go right path then catch your breath?

soft trellis
#

That mentality is probably what makes me have a clutching talent x.x

tall torrent
#

power sword is more utility-orientated for havoc cuz of sunder

soft trellis
#

power sword is great, except when u gotta solo clutch >.>'

tall torrent
cloud thunder
tall torrent
#

but that depends on how much ur willing to gamble

Last havoc 40 we did. He’s the vet

cloud thunder
#

Recon and psword

tall torrent
#

twinned blast's tooltip is slightly misleading

hollow ibex
#

call the national gambling helpline

soft trellis
#

is it more than 20%?

tall torrent
#

because when u analyze it from probability point of view

soft trellis
#

isn't 20% still 20%?

tall torrent
#

it actually looks like this

every time u throw 2 grenades, there's 36% chance for u to get +65.5% dmg which applies to all of that AOE

soft trellis
#

both ways of thinking about it

#

True and every time you throw 3 it's the same % chance as you get from damage reduction from 3 gunner resists

#

because the odds of you not getting that 20% 3 times in a row is 80% of 80% of 80%

tall torrent
#

can be buffed a bit for sure

#

if it was 30% it'd be so much funnier

soft trellis
#

I wouldn't mind 30% on it tbh

#

10% sucked tho

hollow ibex
#

i would actually take it at 30% (and have it proc once the entire match)

tall torrent
#

better luck next time

hollow ibex
#

no next time, i'm taking my talent point back and putting it elsehwere 😠

soft trellis
#

for 0

#

I mean

#

across 24 throws

tall torrent
#

it's funny because veteran's dmg is very chance based in havoc

#

demo team and twinned blast proc a lot? u do loads of dmg

#

u rolled RNG bad? too bad buddy

soft trellis
#

which... based on how much that 1% crit chance in ror2 happens... could happen over the course of 500 runs

#

Man, tho, getting that unlucky would suck

terse idol
#

Like at least i ror2 you had different proc coefficients depending

#

And that was 1% per 1000 or more shots

#

You have like

#

3 grenades

soft trellis
#

oh awit

terse idol
#

Well and

soft trellis
#

I'm dumb

terse idol
#

That specific attack

#

Naww

soft trellis
terse idol
#

Yeeahh you can get pretty unlucky

soft trellis
#

it's just the odds of it not happening are 80% of 80% of 80% (etc, based on how many times it doesn't proc)

terse idol
#

Yeah it just doesn't get betterr

soft trellis
#

the 3rd throw has a 51.2% chance of not proccing

#

the 6th is 26.2144%

#

of not proccing

#

in 6 throws

#

You can get unlucky yeah

mellow adder
#

For Recon Lasguns, whats the least important stat while others are 80%?

tame lodge
#

Collateral 60%

mellow adder
soft trellis
#

most other guns with collateral(if not all) you generally dump collateral(unless you want to use 1 less ammo on the boltgun opening bulwark shields)

tall torrent
#

boltgun for veteran doesn't dump collateral

#

every other weapon that has collateral can dump collateral

soft trellis
#

since collateral changes to stopping power x.x

both barrels?

im running weapon specialist so i wont need to reload

hollow ibex
#

yeah i run with WS

warm bolt
#

I mean it's kinda funny

hollow ibex
#

and rely on WS crits for manstopper

warm bolt
#

Cause it implies you need a blessed weapon for it to perform it's basic function

hollow ibex
#

so i can run both barrels

proven garden
#

but why would you need both barrels when ws reloads it for you

#

or do you not run that keystone modifier

hollow ibex
#

because everytime the reload procs, it only reloads one shell, which is annoying

The only point to cowboy revolver is deleting bosses imo so I'd remove the talent points in stamina regen delay and demo team to get bring it down instead.

Then change hand cannon blessing to sustained fire iirc and switch 1 perk to unyielding

But that's just the funny boss deletion build, I never suffered cowboy revolver for anything else

bolt pistol is just a better version of it im ngl

boltpistol is a slightly worse sidegrade of it

I will be honest the revolver can be fun with damage for single targets but personally i prefer the bolter and boltpistol more

if ur goal is to use it as a quick swap sniping gun and ur not using frags, it's at best a revolver sidegrade that's overall worse

everything it does better than revolver doesn't really matter below havoc

Revolver with always prepared just craazy

#

Anyways, join the Nerf Zarona club

#

Heard that Morrow killed the Old one eye with a single burst of the Agrivolver

(definitely not a plasma pistol)

So still the number one (outside of havoc)

Zarona, Zarona never changes

Zarona used to be much much much worse to a point it was literally a "Why are you using any weapons aside of this gun"

dome is for noobs

95% of players aren't half as good as they think they are

not preparing a build for high havocs is throwing

guess you shouldve brought your own dome

right

VOC dome KEKW_ogryn

Yell so loud it just stops bullets mid-air

spamming VOC, exploding crushers with kraks and kill gunners, but also need to stop bullets with my mind as a vet

god forbid teammates pull their weight

youre bringing kraks to high havocs?

Get karkin' stuck in! all gunfire stops

warm bolt
#

Im genuinely asking cause im stuck at 20-ish havoc, not even 25 Sitgryn

hearty panther
#

you generate an astonishing number of grenades with one or both demo talents and the density is insane, so shredders shoot into the moon for value

hollow rose
broken spade
#

shredders are a lot easier to get value out of in havoc

hearty panther
#

taking out just a couple big bois is almost meaningless comparatively

broken spade

throwing 2 of them will deal a lot of damage

hearty panther
#

and we havent even brought uncanny strike into the picture

and also useful stagger

i completely neglected the demo talents in my current build i think ngl

What's this uncanny strike tech I keep seeing?

#

uncanny strike rending applies to dots

tame lodge
#

Funny since I ended up settling for Kraks because I got annoyed of the extra monstrosities

sick isle

so throw out shredders, stack uncanny and let the crushers bleed to death

unreal nova

Oo I didn't know that. I'm gonna use that loregryn

Well, other melees might work, I just know those two have uncanny... other than force sword.

I usually like to run combat blade

I also like the combat axe. It has some flourish but not too the same extent as the cknife

Did they?!

Is excise vault back?!

come to think of it, I was wondering where excise vault went

Excise isn’t back riot immediately

yea months, idk how many

three perhaps?

narrow frost

since crafting update

def not since crafting, a bit later and a bit before havoc

did it even exist?

I seriously can’t recall the root cause for it being pulled but there was another map

#

Excise + another one they pulled

I ate it

narrow frost
#

chasm station and oub

faint beacon
#

Oh fuck those but they actually came back

narrow frost
#

yes

raw needle
#

no info about excise still

#

maybe its fate

faint beacon
#

Wonder why excise remains… gone

narrow frost
#

I ate it

faint beacon
#

Well fucking spit it out

narrow frost
#

nope

faint beacon
#

I want to play that map again

raw needle
#

i dont like sand

faint beacon
#

It’s coarse

#

And rough

#

The 1 of 2 excise fans realizing yet again there is no word on the map returning

loud belfry
#

all maps sorta blend together for me (i dont pay much attention to anything but the killing i think) but i like that map enough to wish for its return

faint beacon
#

Shit I’m realizing how empty hourglass is

#

Literally the relay station now that’s it

wanton dawn
#

Finally found myself another build I like in h40

faint beacon
#

That being

wanton dawn
#

bolter/axe tag

faint beacon
#

Rashad?

wanton dawn
#

always

#

Well, the rashad is still a test

faint beacon
#

Honestly not surprised it’s still keeping its momentum in H40

#

I defaulted to knife cause I’d prefer melting shit with bleed uncanny

wanton dawn
#

The build still feel unrefined imo. I take the rashad because it is the best generalist horde clear outside of ps

#

ps and bolter together is too cluncky

faint beacon
#

I should attempt to somehow make the VA havoc viable (it won’t be)

#

It’s got like one thing going for it coming from experience of using them on a H38

#

Really good ammo Econ

#

Like really good

wanton dawn
#

Plus, I basically removed all ammo node.

faint beacon
#

But that’s about it

wanton dawn
#

This is basically bolter at it slowest reload

faint beacon
#

FT 8 stacks

#

I was about to say sin then I realize BP change drastically so it really doesnt matter

#

As long as it dies as quickly as possible lmao

wanton dawn
#

It is for boss mostly

faint beacon
#

Juicy 8 stack on a boss and an Unyielding %+ uncanny bleed knife user starts hitting them

wanton dawn
#

It is also a relatively easy to maintain 4.5% teamwide

#

It is honestly hard to get more out of a single point. You need to consider pathing to get more value

#

I could grab the reload i guess, with this plus swap speed

#

but eh

#

I can handle slow reload

faint beacon
#

I’m honestly sitting here wondering how the hell I could even make use of the Vigilants and I’m defaulting on like MF shockingly or mainly FT

wanton dawn
#

vigilant on havoc ?

faint beacon
#

Cause I mean it never hurts to have shredder spam

#

Absolutely it manages just it’s not the end all be all

#

Ammo Econ good that’s really about it tragically

wanton dawn
#

I think it'd be a worse bolter

#

Bolter has a lot of utility beyond killing power

#

Like 2 shot to suppress a team of reaper whatthefuck_heresy

faint beacon
#

I might have something in mind to be honest but it’s probably gonna require heavy experimentation

faint beacon
#

Actually holy shit I think I might have something

wanton dawn
#

Maybe I should go for OfB. But losing the 33% Thoughness resist feels wrong

faint beacon
#

G7 VA Ghost Opening

#

Probably FT seeing MF really just needs help

#

I’m unsure how good its suppression is

wanton dawn
#

Not taking tag feels wrong

faint beacon
#

MF has a shit ton of potential it’s just HEAVILY held back by its conditions

wanton dawn
#

MF tunnel you into ranged. And has no team utility

faint beacon
#

Especially on Havoc where ammo doesn’t exist

#

Unless you’re a vet

#

You’re the walking ammo economy

wanton dawn
#

MF might work on a lasgun but

#

well

#

not recon

#

and other lasgun are poor

faint beacon
#

Demo and stock have huge fucking value in havoc also

wanton dawn
#

hellbore probably prefer tag too

faint beacon
#

Cause a mixed elite spam horde

#

Cannot do much against the unyielding power of shredder spam

#

It’s why you can unironically run Bolt pistol LP if you’re literally acting as the horde delete anchor

#

Grenade tinkerer also

#

Forgot to mention that

wanton dawn
#

You can skip tinkerer, not regen

faint beacon
#

Like the two really good frags Vet has in Havoc

#

Smokes and Shredders

wanton dawn
#

I would not know I never saw a smoker in havoc

#

Nor in the last month in pubs tbf

faint beacon
#

That or

#

There’s not a dome player

#

Really good substitute

wanton dawn
#

I think frags are just as good for sudden shooter spawn

faint beacon
#

Oh yeah GT makes Smokes last 30 seconds

#

Meaning you really only have a downtime of like

#

30 vs 60 with stockpile lmao

wanton dawn
#

ALso smoke to aura path is terrible

faint beacon
#

Yeah that’s the big killer

#

You usually do smoke damage if there’s a Surv Vet

wanton dawn
#

I still prefer frag dmg

#

I guess I could go smoke dmg for better path to agile but

#

not really

#

Oh well. I am just happy to bring my bolter vet to top diff content

sacred igloo
#

Like I would literally rather have kraks

#

Than smokes

wanton dawn
#

I mean, bringing shotgun to havoc is not in my todolist

sacred igloo
#

I would hope not

#

Unless you're double barrel gaming with weapon specialist

#

Then I can excuse it slightly

wanton dawn
#

I don't think I ever saw a double barrel

sacred igloo
#

But not anything above H20

wanton dawn
#

Well, when I say havoc i mean h40

sacred igloo
#

Ah fair

#

Yeah I feel like H40 is very strict with what you can and can't bring

wanton dawn
#

Below 20 I'll bring whatever

narrow frost
#

depends on skill

#

as always

wanton dawn
narrow frost
#

yup

#

actually

#

it doesnt

#

it just takes more skill to team carry

#

then carry your own weight

#

once again, build and weapon viability relies on skill

wanton dawn
#

Yeah but I got a fatshark bottom

narrow frost
#

Real

wanton dawn
#

In any case, some build are "better" than other

sonic elk
#

This'll be fun

narrow frost
#

but no weapon is unrunable in havoc

#

or build

wanton dawn
#

If I bring bolter to h40, I want it to be at least "good"

#

And now I feel I can make it work

#

without being a zealot that is

sonic elk
#

Terror tactics, aye

wanton dawn
#

I would try recon but I hate this weapon with all my soul

narrow frost
wanton dawn
#

I dont play ds in havoc

I would not know

Do not click with me

Recons and autoguns are great because my aim sucks. Sure I didn’t kill that pack of gunners but I sure suppressed em

Bolter and braced are great at suppression

#

Inf iag vrak formely known as columnus use to be great, but since surv nerf it fell down hard

#

Also do not like havoc modifier

Can anyone explain why you’d take the bolt pistol or bolter over the other?

I’ll probably try running Vigilant again in higher havocs sometime again

Boltpistol is fine with WS

faint beacon
#

I just have to really fucking think on how to optimize it lmao

wanton dawn
#

boltgun is... a different build

silk bobcat

#

Boltgun you are mostly building around that reload speed lmao

yes

narrow frost

thats why uncanny lacerate is the best knife combo

tame lodge
faint beacon
#

FT/Lacerate + Uncanny

narrow frost
#

yup

faint beacon
#

It’s honestly dependent on preference but Lacerate if you can manage head and body juggling

narrow frost
#

lac uncanny does more but takes more skill

#

FT is just easier

faint beacon
#

It’s funny as hell cause like

#

Lacerate and Uncanny on their own

#

Being in the sentence with skill

#

Should not exist

narrow frost
#

lol

faint beacon
#

But its true you have to quell a huge habit

#

To make the best of both

narrow frost
#

I still remember before the DS on every class how many people I had to explain to that uincanny lac is the ebst

faint beacon
#

I can argue FT for Vet and Zeal cause of their innate Crit talents

faint beacon
#

I tend to hop between Lac or FT depending on how I want to play lmao

Uncanny needs to be adjusted

uncanny needs to be removed

100% total rending is silly

Hit head to have 100% is so dumb

tawny badger

part of me wishes there was some sort of feedback for rending backstab

faint beacon
#

But there should be some sort of feed back or minimum a mod that shows if you’re doing a backstab

broken spade
#

they should do a hitmarker or something

#

maybe a sound effect

Backstabs on DT

# stone quail Big brained. Thank you

Usually it's weapons with lower damage per shot that benefit more from rending. Usually. But yeah testing in the psyk is the best way to know for sure.

stone quail

But it gets more damage with rending. So-

That one shouldn't need it
