Roughly how many hits for a crusher

crisp oak
#

Guess it shows how feelings arent objective

tall torrent
calm shard
#

folding shovel is 1 special heavy and 1 special light

#

or just special light, light 3/4, push attack, and light once more

hollow ibex
#

Maybe I'll be desperate enough to try it again

calm shard
#

it's relatively fast

vernal trench
crisp oak
#

Mind you the horde clear isnt terrible

#

And you have good block/dodge

calm shard
#

though with thrust this can easily just outright one shot a crusher

hollow ibex
#

And I don't want to run DS

crisp oak
#

Mk7 oneshots with cara, thrust, and tag

#

Or uncanny strikes

vernal trench
#

Its so fun to use

hollow ibex
crisp oak
#

With how the math is, I think it can oneshot havoc crushers with max uncanny stacks and tag

ocean ferry
#

what should i put on the spearhead boltgun mk2b?

vernal trench
hollow ibex
crisp oak
vernal trench
#

And its fun to work around the powerup movement

crisp oak
#

It needs pretty much the same things as the shovel

calm shard
#

shovel swings really fast having max uncanny stacks isn't a super bi ask

vernal trench
hollow ibex
#

Well I played PS a LOT a few months ago. We're just taking some time off from each other

crisp oak
#

I also do not run trench fighter

calm shard
#

you don't need tag for it btw

crisp oak
tame lodge
vernal trench
#

tbh i realized im just slowly going back into whatever i was using before havics came out

calm shard
#

also no thrust

vernal trench
#

I dont even have points for elite damage

crisp oak
vernal trench
#

Shout ds plasma gun

crisp oak
#

Without tag, I needed uncanny stacks to get a consistent 1tap, I was getting like 20 hp left

#

Wothout uncanny stacks without crit

vernal trench
#

Carapace + elite?

crisp oak
vernal trench
#

Hmm

crisp oak
#

Maybe for h40

vernal trench
#

Tbh i never use tag

crisp oak
#

Im not at my pc so cant try it out rn

vernal trench
#

It feels like so jank having to tag everything one by one

crisp oak
#

I like it for a quick toughness gen option

#

See crusher, tag, onetap, everyone gets toughness

vernal trench
#

How much do u get for it

crisp oak
#

Not a lot

calm shard
#

well Mk1 shovel can 4 tap them with a headshot special, 2 push attacks and a light

vernal trench
#

5%?

#

10%

crisp oak
#

But its teamwide

#

5

#

5% toughness and stam

vernal trench
crisp oak
#

To the group

vernal trench
#

Hmmm

crisp oak
#

Its a jank build for some jank weapons

vernal trench
#

I aint got enough points for it anyway

calm shard
crisp oak
#

Thing is hellbore kills everything else in one shot other than dreg ragers, muties, reapers, and carapace

vernal trench
crisp oak
#

And dreg ragers can be staggered easily with the bayonet

vernal trench
#

but its so weak at survivability i aint bringing it

crisp oak
#

My clutchability with the hellbore is locked at heresy and below

#

At least assuming everyone is dead dead

vernal trench
#

I used it once in an auric maelstrom hard carrying

#

Everyone wiped and i cant do shit cuz the survivability is too low

crisp oak
#

This build also uses shout

#

So yeah

vernal trench
#

Little to no toughness regen if i need to run for my life

#

Mine uses exec stance

crisp oak
#

Yeah figured with what you were saying

vernal trench
#

Yea its fun but aint fun if everyones dead

agile forge
#

I do love exec stance

vernal trench
#

Me too

crisp oak
#

I hate it

vernal trench
#

Juet can never bring it

#

I don't need toughness, I need to become DOOMGUY

crisp oak
#

I'm a zealot with survivalist

#

Shout crutch is in my blood

Man i hate shout

crisp oak

I love it

It lets me play like a monkey

A horde of mutant are charging at you and you use shout to stop all of them

Or I see the poor psyker getting fucked in the corner, run over and shout to put the enemies on their ass

formal ice
calm shard
#

all this shit and I still need 5 MF stacks to one shot a crusher with a helbore shot

#

Is it worth it?

vernal trench
calm shard
#

though I imagine being able to more reliably hit that one shot crusher/mauler breakpoint with the helbore would be kinda bad for the game

i think its just base, but i do have the no sights plugin

hrm well

that's good news

but since no sight is default, i dont think that matters

either way I'm guessing brass (it's kinda brass coloured) bolt pistol and chainsword too

build completely unchanged aside from moving the MF keystone over to FT instead

like with 8 stacks yeah it one shots

but 5 doesn't

One day i might try a mf plasma/ps build. Just to raise eyebrows

It'd be so bad though KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
calm shard
#

or

vernal trench
#

Mf is constant stacks tho

calm shard
#

hear me out

#

I can use MF and kill more than one

vernal trench
#

Why switch to ft

#

Yea

#

Just keep mf

hollow ibex
#

Nah

vernal trench
#

Yes

hollow ibex
#

FT is way easier

calm shard
#

instead of using focus target, the worlds shittiest least interesting keystone in existence

hollow ibex
#

Don't need to baby stacks

vernal trench

#

I don't crabwalk because I can aim

hollow ibex

I will just headshot a poxwalker or 2 if need be

Mf is better for your dmg but ft is still better teamwise

or y'know given brute conscript I'll just go one shot a bulwark/reaper to get stacks to one shot the crusher lmao

For you included

Yeah I mean it's not even up for debate

vernal trench

Alt f4 wins

calm shard

I don't care about any of that I want to one shot multiple crushers by myself

hollow ibex

FT is stronger

not for what I want to do it fucking isn't

Nah

Noob here at lvl 21, what ability do you recommend to use with focus target ? Using invisibility atm but not sure about its usefulness in a group

Take the left subnode

Also, who was it that wanted proof of gambling with downs with my Zealot build?

latent parcel
#

No idea

#

why is my ogryn getting denied in 40's

#

😔

unreal nova
#

Or ehm, they can't even dooking wound me so I just go down instead of die.

#

Was it Chonky?

#

@vernal trench Was it you who wanted like proof about my stupid build that will down me instead of kill me if I get overheaded?

#

While doing TS?

unreal nova

Ya i just joined a lobby

unreal nova
#

Me smurt, yes. Some will say dying instantly is better.

faint beacon
#

Iron will allowing you to eat overheads

unreal nova
narrow frost
#

Iron will is a vet talent

faint beacon
#

Something undying or whatever the fuck the talent is where you just don’t die

narrow frost
#

until death

faint beacon
#

I don’t play zealot enough

unreal nova
#

Yes, but that still means your HP is corrupted to 1.

faint beacon
#

1 HP

unreal nova
#

The overhead couldn't even wound me with corruption.

faint beacon
#

Salvageable

#

I’d assume it’s also the TDR + DR talents

unreal nova
#

55 toughness, 224 HP at that point.

#

I took about a third of my HP in corruption.

#

Which went away while I was panicking.

tall torrent
faint beacon
tall torrent
#

Unrelated to iron will

unreal nova
#

No gold toughness.

#

The gold toughness came AFTER the overhead.

tall torrent
#

Then u have other sources of DR

#

Iron will by itself is nowhere enough to tank overhead

unreal nova
#

45% corruption resist, lul.

tall torrent
#

it's ~38.6% total

unreal nova
#

Ah. But yeah, it's just HP + corruption resist.

#

Yes, game was super spicy.

vernal trench
unreal nova
vernal trench
#

F

unreal nova
#

But yeah, 2 HP for like 4 mins lul.

unreal nova
vernal trench
#

it was until death

tall torrent
#

idk why that turned to iron will

#

TDR doesn't affect corruption

vernal trench
#

she said she has corruption resistance

unreal nova
#

Yes, it was more, you wanted to know if I could eat a crusher overhead without straight up dying. Assuming no or on CD Until death, the amount of corruption damage would just only down me instead of outright kill.

vernal trench
#

have u tested this

void dragon
#

what are the best secondary stats on curios for a veteran?

unreal nova
#

I just assumed I have enough HP to take it since I was dropped to 2 HP over the usual 1.

vernal trench
#

i highly doubt u can tank an overhead and not straight die

unreal nova
#

Shrugs.. I usually thought people died cos the corruption puts them to less than 1 wound.

#

Or well, instantly fills the bar in cases.

#

So if you took less than a full wound of corruption, you should just go down instead?

vernal trench
#

dont know

#

but if u aint an ogryn ur not tanking a full overhead

unreal nova
#

That was to be expected. Is why I'm just wondering if my build will just cause a down over death.

#

Because I have seen others eat an overhead with Until Death and was left at 1 HP and everything else corrupted.

vernal trench
#

who knows

#

fgo try it

obtuse elm
#

Should I use the mk7 vigilant or mk4 helbore

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

Two very different guns tbh

rustic beacon
void dragon
#

Have a question, how easy is it for you to land headshots with the hellbore lasgun? I have quite a bit of trouble landing shots that don't end up being body shots that I aimed too low, and also: isn't the weapon a little too ammo efficient? I think I had troubles running out of ammo, at least in auric missions

hollow ibex
#

And the ammo economy is intentional

void dragon
#

Really, guess I'm really not built for sniper work, really suffering to land headshots

hollow ibex
obtuse elm
hollow ibex
#

Reeeee

obtuse elm
#

I just use the mk4

hollow ibex
#

Same

#

It's OK

obtuse elm
#

Honestly I’ve always preferred iron sights in games rather than optics

hollow ibex
#

Could be much better though

obtuse elm
#

Besides snipers I barely ever put scopes on my weapons

unreal nova
#

Or something that looks kinda like one.

obtuse elm
obtuse elm
#

Something simple like just a plastic square with a dot in the middle

void dragon
#

I was trained irl to put the target above the aim sights, it really mess up the wiring on my brain

unreal nova
#

You know the 1.5x scopes in Payday?

obtuse elm
#

Never played pay day

unreal nova
#

Well, 2.

obtuse elm
#

Love that style

hollow ibex
#

Yeah simple, clear picture without massive housing

#

Fantastic cqc sight

obtuse elm
#

Yeah I hate the optics that are just a big ass square block

#

Irl iron sights suck but love them in video games

hollow ibex
#

Unless they're AR iron sights

#

Video games suck at that

faint beacon
#

DMR and Snipers with actually good irons for some fucking reason

unreal nova
#

Biometric Analyzer Optic in Payday 2.

#

If you can find pics of it.

#

Basically the scope I use on everything except actual snipers.

faint beacon
#

LMGS are completely hit or miss

unreal nova
#

I can't find pics of it that isn't the straight up store page of the DLC pack.

#

Ah, it's a 1.25x scope.

#

Basically red dot.

tawny timber
#

simo hayha disagrees

obtuse elm
#

Any damage reduction perks in curio worth it besides gunners and snipers?

#

And what other perks in general

tropic notch
faint beacon
#

Outside of that not really

hollow ibex
#

I think sniper is worth taking one of

faint beacon
#

You really only run corruption resist in like Havoc

#

But ehh

hollow ibex
#

Wouldn't do more than that

obtuse elm
#

Mostly did toughness related stuff obviously as a veteran

#

Took stamina and sprint

#

Cdr

hollow ibex
#

Stamina regen isn't really worth it

#

Same with cdr outside of havoc

tall torrent
void dragon
#

How I know what and in what amount a weapon scales with finesse damage?

analog mural
#

Inspect the weapon, check the damage table for normal damage vs weakspot damage

void dragon
#

The difference is what's finesse damage? Weakspot extra damage?

tall torrent
analog mural
#

When people talk about finesse in this game they could be referring to a couple things. Generally finesse is Crit/weakspot damage, but it could also be the finesse stat on a weapon which affects those numbers aswell as attack speed

void dragon
#

So the stacked marksman focus increases that damage, keep the base but once you crit/WP hit you deal a % more?

analog mural
#

Yes

tall torrent
#

Let’s say u have a gun that does
300 base damage
900 total damage on crit-weakspot hit

#

If u have
Marksman Focus (10 stacks)
Deadly Accurate IV
Precision Strikes

#

You now deal a total of 2130 damage on crit-weakspot hit

#

If the number in dW, dC and dCW is big, the weapon is good finesse scaling

void dragon
#

I will try this formula to check some weapons for it then, thanks

faint beacon
#

No more Crit Damage. This ape only wants Finesse damage!

#

Finesse really can just boost some rifles up to ludicrous damage numbers

tall torrent
#

Other damage bonuses don’t work the same way finesse does

void dragon
#

So wait, the hellbore Mk V has lower finesse than the vigilant or infantry guns? I have been living a lie?

#

The point of that weapons isn't weakspot damage but it's good damage to down targets even on bodyshots and armor piercing?

visual badge
#

is 10 stacks of MF enough, or if I can pick up 15 stacks, should I?

visual badge
#

@tall torrent also does o4b just give flat 5% toughness?

tall torrent

#

so mk iv (the slow firing one, I think is the mk) should have camouflage?

hollow ibex

#

Except vet can attack way faster than ogryn KEKW_ogryn

They are allowed to light attack, ogryn doesn't have that luxury

ALOT OF TOUGHNESS

pseudo fiber
#

fucking helbores how do they work

visual badge
#

hold right click

#

charge

#

aim at enemy head

#

dead

void dragon
#

If not ogryn or caparace sometimes clicking on head is optional, my biggest issue is landing bodyshots, but that still set me eliminating most enemies that don't need bayonet treatment

visual badge
#

you can pretty much oneshot anything with helbore with good build

#

its glass cannon build

pseudo fiber
#

Well I'm open to suggestions build wise because yeah

#

I still don't like it that much

visual badge
#

exe stance + mf is good idea

#

I mainly run the heavy helbore

#

10 mf and exe with heavy helbore one shots crushers

#

I run it with counterfire to also target enemy ranged

pseudo fiber
#

Something like this?

visual badge
#

yeah thats what I run

void dragon
#

In my experience the crouching node isn't that great, particularly because if you headshot kill enemies you can move freely with ease

visual badge
#

actually I run 15 stacks

#

but you can also just take the base option

#

use that point somewhere else if you need it

#

it's really up to preference

#

15 stacks or camo

void dragon
#

For executioner stance only the counter fire node?

visual badge
#

you cant take ogryn with counter fire

#

and the aura share is not bad

#

buut with randos probs not

#

if you have a premade, it can be good info

hollow ibex
visual badge
#

bear in mind it will only share elites

#

(I think)

#

idk if the aura share also accounts your upgrades

#

before I ask the guy

#

let me consult the holy scriptures

tall torrent
#

None of them are necessary

#

Exe stance works without any subnodes

visual badge
#

if you want to actually be decent teammate

#

counter fire is good for being the anti ranged guy

#

trust me in auric damnation and havoc (most likely) you'll have a lot of ranged

void dragon
visual badge
#

yeah only elites and specialists

tall torrent
#

Because marksman is strength on using ability

#

U keep it running when u need to

#

And reactivate when u need to

visual badge
#

info is strong

tall torrent
#

And premade

visual badge
#

talking about counterfire I mean

tall torrent
#

But it very heavily depends on ur ability to kill outlined enemies before ur team does

#

As for counter-fire

visual badge
#

you'd be surprised by how many vets do not actually kill ranged

tall torrent
#

I don’t think it matters that much personally

visual badge
#

they play them like zealots

#

a lot of missions would end up failure if I wasn't the anti ranged vet

tall torrent
#

Because ranged horde enemies are not challenging enough outside of havoc

visual badge
#

you would GENUINELY be surprised

hollow ibex
#

Nah fuck team sharing vision

visual badge
#

in the rando matches I had

hollow ibex
#

Gimping yourself

tall torrent
visual badge
#

if I did not run counterfire, we would just end up failing

tall torrent
#

But I also wouldn’t think about it much

#

It’s really easy to push shooters into melee outside of havoc

void dragon
tall torrent
#

No point playing long range point & click game with them

visual badge
#

yeah but if you have cover

#

and theres like 10 gunners and more ranged fodder

tall torrent
#

Kill gunner first with jiggle peak via cover then charge shooters into melee

visual badge
#

in open areas, you are really not going to push through

#

I like the idea, but there's been times I've gotten my ass handed to me by thinking I can do that

tall torrent
#

I think counterfire matters for like 3 guns total KEKW_ogryn

visual badge
#

I do see what you mean, I really do

#

but a lot of areas in the game are open and only have few instances of cover

#

you won't be in cqb all the time

#

especially shit like carnival finale

#

a lot of enemies on high and gunners in the range

#

you cannot feasibly run into the open to charge them into melee

void dragon
#

In my experience, and not havoc, I can sustain it for a long time killing 4 gunners, many fodders and then another set of gunners all in the middle of a horde, that without counting the reapers and other melee stuff

visual badge
#

counter fire just lets me keep track of where every shooter is

tall torrent
#

But that still wouldn’t be a counterfire pick for me

visual badge
#

well your build with the exe stance for helbore

#

I've been running it and I really love it

#

and you do have few talent points left over

#

so I just decided to pick up counterfire

#

I can't say it's failed me

tall torrent
#

That’s fair

#

Counterfire is nice QoL if ur gun has ammo to kill mobs with

void dragon
visual badge
#

I run this build currently

tall torrent
#

I just don’t play those guns very often

And if I do I still wouldn’t run counterfire tbh

visual badge
#

twinned blast and demo team is recommended

#

not fan of those

tall torrent
#

U gotta believe in gambling

#

It just works

visual badge
#

you can pick camo if you want to

void dragon
visual badge
#

I do not run havoc

#

auric damn/maelstrom mostly

tall torrent
#

I think they’re good value for auric too

void dragon
#

Can confirm

visual badge
#

if i'm in bad spot, I just chuck like 2-3 grenades

#

save 1 if teammates goes down maybe

void dragon
#

Don't even need nade packs almost at all

visual badge
#

by the time I need them, I have all or at least 2 back

tall torrent
#

Especially for exe stance which has far worse space-making than other abilities

arctic rampart
#

Nobody else fucking picks up nades... I don't mind getting 5 more even w/ double regen.

visual badge
#

if you want demo team and twinned blast, take off 15 stacks and forgo counter fire

#

you really don't need counterfire, but the aura of being able to see shooters does change your role

void dragon
visual badge
#

can also take off tac reload

#

I personally use it because with mf, it just lets you reload super quick

#

lets me keep up exe stance to keep seeing auras

Am I unlucky or twinned blast just doesn't work? I don't recall ever getting a second nade from it

hollow ibex

it works, 20% of the time

36% actually

So I'm just unlucky

exactly why I dont run it

There are just better things to pick than twinned blast. That's why I don't run it...

I guess if you're RP too hard as a grenadier I can get wanting it !

I always undervalue % chance skills in every game I play. I'd rather have a consistent reliable boost than a chance at something

ok tbf if you forced me to pick ONE gambling perk

#

I'd rather go demo team

#

because elites and specialists are plentiful on auric damn

twinned blast i'd have to wait another minute to even try it again

Wouldn't it be good that when you pick an ammo from a source your next nade has a mini-nade? To remove the randomness of it

arctic rampart
#

I have accidentally played havoc a few times but didn't bother since everyone in there was turning into edgey zealots. Am I missing out?

visual badge
#

havoc is just higher than auric damnation

#

it's basically like cata from vermintide

#

if you want to have fun, nah

tall torrent
void dragon
#

Ah, you mean from the other perk, that could be an issue

tall torrent
#

I think if it’s to get buffed, buff to 30% chance

#

This way 2 frags has 51% chance to proc it at least once

#

Which “feels” a lot better than 36% chance

arctic rampart
#

I didnt play very much vermintide. I do a lot of maelstrom, currently its fun and don't always win

visual badge
#

well take it that

#

auric maelstrom

#

even if you make a mistake, you can still win

#

from what I see about havoc 40

#

one mistake is the entire mission is over

hollow ibex
#

yes buff frags pls

visual badge
#

you can decide if you find that fun or not

#

vermintide was basically same

#

you had legend, then they added cataclysm

#

somehow people wanted harder

#

and modded these insane difficulties

My aim for the year is to reach and clear havoc 40

someone has to bring me into havoc 40

I want to see if my ass can handle it

Stretch goal of doing it at least once per class

void dragon
#

Hoping to make a havoc 30 soon, then when I get all gear ready might aim to 40

sterile garnet
#

Biggest tips i can give are to stick together, don't push ahead quickly, coordinate ults

#

The big one is pushing ahead quickly. If you do that you'll get a boss spawn + scab captain spawn, aggro elite patrol, and then a horde will spawn while you're trying to manage all that shit

#

As soon as you hear a boss spawn or elite patrol, pull back. Retreat. Deal with the threat, then you can advance

Is there a fast way to knock out killshot ready penance? Thinking of just recon lasgun into a horde for kills

I've done like 3 ranks of havoc with a friend before I decided this was boring and we went to do auric damnations lol

vernal trench
#

Havoc 3?

#

What are u most comfortable with or where do u start feeling a challenge when u play normally

visual badge
#

I can consistently do auric maelstrom with decent randos

maybe really tough maelstrom modifiers

vernal trench

#

Havoc 3 is just malice

visual badge
#

yeah

vernal trench
#

Yea

visual badge
#

I stopped doing it because of that, and theres no material in havoc

#

I needed diamantine to 100% rest of the guns

thin bobcat
#

How do I get the Long Bomb Penace done?

vernal trench
#

u get 25k diamantine every week from h40

uncut pebble
visual badge
#

thing is I'm comfortable with any difficulty and any modifier

#

it's just randos

thin bobcat
#

No bouncing the grenade against any surfaces while getting 5 kills.

vernal trench
#

I mean i think ull be okay playing on havoc 20 atleast

uncut pebble
vernal trench
#

but if u compare auric maelstroms to havoc 40 its not even comparible

Iirc a shredder will travel 30 or so meters before it explodes, you can drop a ping to measure the distance.

#

To me the difference is like

#

Havoc 40 to auric maelstroms

#

Is like auric maelstroms to heresy

visual badge
#

I mean the only thing I know is that theres no grace between damage

#

so gunners can instakill you

thin bobcat
#

I just used the Stub Revolver at Hordes.

gentle yoke
#

Yeah that got me a lot because of high speed zealots

vernal trench
#

Gunners are probably the most significant change in havoc vs damnation

#

a single little gunner can down u if ur not careful

steep flower
#

they are worse

vernal trench
#

Yea little gunners

thin bobcat
#

Zealots kill enemies right when I shoot them so I shoot at nothing.

vernal trench
#

The shooter guys u cant ping

#

reapers too

steep flower
#

more numerous, can't be marked, covers more

vernal trench
#

I mean its usually a ton of them stacked up thats when it gets deadly

#

If someones jumpign straight into h40 the increased armored spawns will be pretty daunting too

#

Its like the melee only maelstrom amount of armored elites but regularly depending on what spawns u get

Change your curios to 2 17% toughness and a +3 stam curios, ability cdr on curios is bad, you could run gunner resist instead, change get back in the fight to catch a breath, change target down to redirect fire on your keystone, not going to comment on the double toughness generation you've got going on up top because I honestly find out for blood to be a little underperforming for ranged builds. You could get around the weapon swap speed issues by running executioner's stance, as that makes your helbore draw instantly, and it would help a lot for breakpoints.

I remember born leader only worked if you also didnt have 100% toughness

hearty panther

i believe it used to not, but either way, it does now

vernal trench

Always take ability cooldown on ur curios dont listen to frog

hearty panther
#

its a tremendous resource for your team in havoc, since my squishy ass runs around with 65 toughness on psyker

vernal trench
#

Ur gonna need that extra one or two seconds on havoc trust me

uneven garnet
#

Guys. He getting hit because he’s jumping instead of dodging!!!

hearty panther
#

it means if im in range to get your gold toughness from shout it will ALWAYS push me into gold

#

even if im at 0

latent parcel
#

wait you can rebind keys in this game?

uneven garnet
#

No build will fix that. That’s an optimization problem.

#

Yes

tall torrent
visual badge
#

so voc + born leader generates more toughness?

#

hm

hearty panther
#

you're generating toughness all the time for everyone, which is nice

visual badge
#

so if I had to pick born leader or for the emperor

#

I guess in auric maelstrom it doesnt matter

hearty panther
#

the interaction with VoC is just a very nice bonus for safety, since you would otherwise shout and 'only' give a psyker 50 flat toughness, which might not push them into gold range

gentle yoke
#

Thought gbitf would be better than catch a breath. Don’t really know distance in the game.

Havoc = born leader
Below havoc = doesn’t matter

Catch a breath is also huge for dealing with shooters.

GBITF was much more useful back when you could be stunned by gunners and shit

well, not even back then

Oh that’s fair. I’ll swap them

pair it with O4B, you can get back from most hits

it's like adding a stack of TNT to a nuke

#

I really wanted to get that extra +5% crit hit chance node under close and kill but ran out of points

#

Also is shovel really the best weapon with helbore? Just need something for close range damage and occasional horde

hollow ibex
#

heavy sword better imo

visual badge
#

I'd say it's decent

#

any melee works really

hollow ibex
#

helbore has really good single target

#

so what you need is a good horde clear melee

#

that's low investment

visual badge
#

but yea helbore is single target

hollow ibex
#

that's the heavy sword exactly

gentle yoke
#

The one shot heavy alt melee is great but takes forever to charge

#

I’ll try a run or two with the heavy sword

the special is only good for like solo targets

so you dont have to swap

I was wondering why i still could voc but didnt pay it any mind for some time

@tall torrent Got a curiosity question for you regarding Tunnel Vision, the Toughness replenishment is it more so added onto lets say like- other Talents that give you increased toughness or is it literally just 5% toughness per stack of MF you get

#

Mainly cause im trying to figure out seeing im running a VA build with MF, if I should do CK or O4B

#

like which one in the long run would get more value out of Tunnel Vision

brisk cedar
#

Do y’all think VoC or Stealth is better?

tame lodge
#

Different purposes Voc>>>

brisk cedar
#

My friend insists I should use voc for havoc but I like using stealth more?

#

Is it still viable

Stealth isn’t about being viable its about being useful for your team

Which makes it viable since its useful

but rather

increase to your talents that give toughness

cause if thats so

im wondering if CK or O4B would be more valuable

paired with Tunnel Vision

I'd say safest bet is the Slug Shotgun run shooter node on Exec

on Exec Stance

makes it super fucking easy

cause Exec Stance is an Upgrade version of Volley Fire

so it counts
