Less than people make it out to be
most of the content on builds online seem to be from 1 year/2 years ago. How much of it is relevant these days? As i understand it this game is pretty different from how it was on release. I only got this game a couple weeks ago
Wrath is always a mandatory for it; light attacks cover too little to be able to effectively clear a horde
(it's literally a Combat Blade Polearm with a small Halberd-style pick on the back of the Combat Blade and the butt is a morningstar head)
So there
Good horde clear and a mean bite

Praise be the Xiiig
Although it's better on Zealot
That's for sure
the only time such overhead attacks are nice at horde clear is the zealot greatsword mk II
My Vet main unironically
otherwise no
Praise the cadian chainsword
I love XIIIg so much, it's not Mk XV Eviscerator but it'll do my Vet fine
I use the true Cadian build
Lasgun and Chainsword
Depends on what you're looking for, since Fatshark doesn't really do arrowhead-esque huge balance passes
Infantry Lasgun info is relevant since Patch #14 or so
But how
I just saw it... I WANT IT
Never had that problem
Those vets probably forget they have frags too
Told you you'd want it! I want it too šš
Some used kraks
that is also no joke
I remember this one Bolter + Chainsword Vet (never trust a Bolter Vet) who died 1-2 times in every room
I use Frags with my Chainsword and Lasgun š
I see, a lot of the names of specific marks for example seem different so I was just wondering if I should just disregard anything that old or something
No you're dumb it has style points for rev stab
But how?
Only if I'm on psyker, that thing helps nothing if you roll EK with it and assail, bubble, DD.
Genuinely have ZERO idea
I jest
Yeah, just make sure to go through old patch notes if you wanna make sure you're not being fed outdated info
Fatshark, in their infinite wisdom, renamed a bunch of weapons for no reason. Anything old referencing "ciag" or "columnus infantry autogun" now refers to "viag" or "vraks infantry autogun."
It does feel pretty cool to rev the chainsword and put a hole in someone though
Mine can oneshot Crushers on critical special heavy, it's pretty funny to see
(bc of my build ofc)
Love getting a Shred on the upwards slash against a Mauler, right in the soft bits
Anyway, we offer build advice for whatever in every channel. There's an entry level build for vet players floating around here somewhere by Path.
Hasn't happened for me yet, Reapers, Ragers, Maulers but not Crushers
even tho it has no survivalist and uses kraks 
but to each their own
that's hilarious, I've just been going through the veteran weapons and completing the masteries for them so there wasn't something in particular I was looking for. Just saves a lot of time looking up viable builds than doing my own tweaking and it was something I've noticed.
FOR CADIA!
Though im sure if you're just good enough you can run with anything, sadly though I don't have that luxury having just started lmao
Planet broke before the guard did!
I use the +10% rending passive, bloodletter, wrath (neither of my perks involve carapace), serrated blade (bleed stacks on all melee hits) and it figures stuff out
FOR CREEEEEEED
god especially the fucking psyker staves
trauma staff renamed to voidblast
voidstrike stays the same though
I think the weakspot damage talent MIGHT contribute as well, ofc there's also the anti-ogryn and anti-elite talents but that's obvious on a build like mine
so good luck with that
This is extremely inefficient.
I use
It's extremely fun is what it is
Recon las and chainsword
I got most of that except Serrated Blade, I don't see how 1 bleed stack is going to make a difference
they need to rename the fire staff to voidblaze and surge to voidshock
It's surprisingly useful
Not mutually exclusive.
Given I can piss on people with the amount of fire stacks
Survivalist and frags/kraks. Bad otherwise.
Well I don't go crapping all over your minmaxed builds mate so lay off would ya
Cos they failed to keep it from being broken?
Love the good old DoT build, stack as many burns and bleeds as possible
Is knoife mercykiller related, I think.
Serrated Blade is pretty underrated, especially on Helbore
Serrated blade is only really taken with knives and shovels.
Helbore with serrated blade is capable of just deleting and deleting and deleting
I piss lasbolts
And I have gonorrhea
I can delete hordes with this one simple trick
Knives get uncanny strike and mercy killer to shit all over armor, shovels get uncanny strike and skullcrusher to take advantage of free DOT damage boosts.
I wish Infantry Lasguns could be held down to continuously fire
Repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnels exist
there's a mod for that
I'd use the Infantry Las if I didn't suck shit at aiming
Full auto mod exists.
It should be a base feature
Would recon proc it? Never thought about that...
Same with keep swinging.
"Support."
Seriously I suck shit at it
Nah, that's why I've got my Chainsword on me
Its a saying you goofball
Just perma stack DoTs loads of fun
But I get getting touched by hordes while playing sniper tf2
It's melee only. Helbores get a bayonet attack that sets off melee talents.
Then I don't see the point of 1 stack per hit when a Shred gives 14 stacks
No, I am reading everything as is.
aigt very concise explanation thahnk you
It gives you 15 on a chainsword rev strike now
They do implement mods as official features
especially since the bajonet jab does alot of dmg; the enemy will die to the stab than the bleed
With 80% finesse you can swing it pretty fast
After 3 years, I guess. Still no basic accessiblity feature to remove filters.
Makes clearing hordes an absolute breeze, just stack and stack and stack
Might give it a shot, though I mostly run chainsword on my Infiltration Recon build which doesn't have any points to spare
I mean most enemies will also just die to the stab at all if you run agile engagement
so I don't see the point of the bleed gimmick
It's funny to hit smth and run away cackling
Same with burn
Stack Infernus on a guy and then he does while you're in cover
I do run Infernus on my recon with Elite Damage, fun stuff
With Onslaught and 10% rending
Anyone getting the occasionally one-shot on half Toughness for no apparent reason
Mostly seems to happen when I'm running and there's a bruiser behind me
I try to go into slide and suddenly I'm faceplanted instead
That's how toughness works.
Too used to Iron Will I suppose
Sliding does not protect you from melee
only from ranged
Don't try to slide on melee hits or you will be sliding down to your grave
that's how toughness works
toughness causes you to take less damage from melee attacks based on your toughness percent
if you're at half toughness then half of the full melee attack damage goes through
Is the axe a good weapon nowadays?
For real? thats excellent, may I know why tho
It is very good at everything for the minor downside of being a bit dependent on its push attack, and needing investment on the talent tree
It just needs more investments to make the most out of it.
Oh I see, what kind of investment?
Not really. You take the talents it wants anyway.
While DS is a free slot in.
Bottom right side I guess no?
Depends on build tbh.
You need weapon spec to make rashad work right.
Otherwise it's too slow.
I sure fucking don't when I'm playing Exe stance or Target Priority
Yeah you do lmao, if you can't take said talents then you are investing far too much in your gun.
Great, I think I wont need to do many changes in my build then
DS feels like a trap because a nerf seems almost inevitable at this point and everyone who built their class around it is in for a rude awakening when that happens
Like on a recon, GL with the points.
Ohhh snap
Recons are point hungry but again you still take the same talents rashad wants, even keystoneless.
Brutal momentum is mandatory for combat axe; without it you have no cleave
You just won't have the swing speed weapon spec grants if you take recon.
Rashad is a monster
The build Im trying to use the axe don't have the 10% att speed node, but it dure does have the combat swap keystone
Thats what happening to me rn
How are you pathing to weapon spec without taking trench fighter drill...
Post your talent tree
Aig give me 5 mins, Im just remembering stuff without seeing the build on the pc
brb
Easy, onslaught side.
Onslaught is a waste.
The only thing it does is let you kill crushers, and you shouldn't waste ammo on them, anyway.
yeah beacuse the recon lasgun of all guns is concerned about "wasting" ammo
I'm certain psykers are worried about wasting peril on their staves too
It is. Why do you have such shit takes all the time?
Indeed indeed just going trrrrr trrr on everything feels nice
This is proper pathing with rashad, taking bare minimum talents, you have 4 points to play with.
Could take rending strikes + bring it down + fully loaded.
I like using out for blood š©
I mean, you can take that instead of the middle pathing.
Middle pathing up top is just standard.
Same point cost either way.
If using it for Havoc I would recommend the 10% melee damage talent aswell. Not needed outside though
5% move speed stab stab.
You don't need rending for rashad, you take it for recon. :P
Oh no for havoc I already got a whole different build, this recon axe build is just for the sake of variety
Aig pc is on, lets see
@uncut pebble heās right on this one though.
Hmmm hmmm I have to sacrifice a bunch of must stuff for recon if I try to get onslaugh
dont want to left extra ammo and the no ammo consume on crit thing left either
You wind up burning a quarter of a mag on one crusher. That is not worth it at all.
On a crit build with shock trooper? Itās not bad at all.
I run it all the time even in havoc 40
No, Im not sacrificing onslaugh, guess Ill need another melee weapon
what melee is okay without the 10% att speed?
Take your pick
That sounds nice
Dueling sword, power sword, knife, etc
Depends on your playstyle so canāt really tell you
Something you gotta feel out
That sounds more like soloing a boss by shooting it.
Paper sword, hrm...
I see, knife and dueling are out of the question these are already being used and dont want to repeat weapons between builds
It would sound like that to you since you got shit ping and packet loss
Anyways
power sword should just shatter on contact with carapace if you swing unpowered
So that leave me with the power sword
Psword but it takes some adjusting and getting used to with the activation
Thereās other options Iām sure
If you donāt like psword
Those are the 3 Iāve mainly experimented with so
Like which one? I used it just a little bit before but you turn reeeeally slow when using it
Knife and psword are my favorites
sho š§ el
Ohh what mark on shovel btw?
Also is antax axe really that bad without the att speed?
antax axe has even slower heavies than rashad
antax has a faster special and push attack, but the heavies are agonizingly slow
Testimg it rn
Whats the purpose on those specials? with tac axe at least you can stun muttis out of their charge for style points
well they have very high stagger
but the heavy attacks and push attack do as well soooooooooooooooo
Oh
Oh well Ill give it a try to Rashad axe without the extra att speed and see how it goes
As long as you've built it properly it'll be good
Without trench fighter it feels much clunkier
Indeed indeed, just want something to smack specials, recon will do the main job anyway
Also, best blessings for rashad?
Deathblow, headtaker, and I believe unarmored carapace for perks.
and the other should be + carapace
There isn't death blow for rashad
Noted on my way to swap it

Deathblow is what I remembered, it's the same thing as bm.
Db is just hsword variant bc apparently fatshark wants it to sound special. :P
I tested both extensively tbh
Middle and right path
Middle is far better in sustain
Itās very noticeably stronger
Got it
Well
Right path in theory is better
B4b
I initially ran right path and then I tested middle
Then I was like
What the fuck
It increases your toughness gained on melee kills
Thatās what I thought too
And toughness gained from all sources
Right
I thought same thing
But when I went down middle, I was like what
Became way easier to carry even more
Eh
I think both are good 
The value of the weapon swap can't be undersold either imo
And the change being when I think about it
Prefer out for blood tbh
value of weapon swap can be easily undersold because it's actually barely noticable on anything that isn't a bolter, plasma, or helbore
I mean it's toughness gained on any source vs toughness gained over time on elite kills

Yeah you're kinda right
even on the bolter/plasma it's not much
it's noticable but still very small
helbore howeverr
Yeah a single nade pop into a horde and thoughness go up without worrying about finding a particular enemy
also getting toughness back from gunning down ranged enemies
mhmm indeed
Try it. Itās very very noticeable.
Still puzzled on how the Rashad turned out to be better at cleave than the one that gives cleave bonuses
If youāre actually good at killing a ton of elites, itās very very noticeable
It technically still doesn't. Brutal Momentum is just its own brand of nonsense.
I played both
I went from middle now to b4b
So youāre not fast at killing elites then?
Not that i know if one or the other is better 
I'm killing elites fast
I literally run like, keystonless recon and other junk and like
I dunno
I just crutch on shout and cdr
I can pull my weight and not die
Infinite toughness
I dunno how you donāt notice the difference
Any source of other toughness I gain
Itās really a huge gap
I mean it's differences
I got annoyed with myself
You are gaining more toughness from
For not running it sooner
š¤·āāļø
Kills into melee hordes
Over the middle
I think they're both equally viable
B4b you do gain alot of value from it
Yeah theyāre both viable
Just one is a lot more noticeable over the other is all Iām saying
I mean, ahhhh damn it
In the grand scheme wouldn't you be gaining more from b4b in any given round
Eh this doesn't matter
what's b4b?
Back for blood
the video game?
Thatās what I thought too. I asked about this a couple weeks ago here too.
Asked for confirmation even. On gaining 5% from ranged kills
yeah it adds 5% to any kill you get
Because on paper, I was like yeahā¦this is way better
I know
I said I asked a couple weeks ago
just throw a shredder grenade anywhere near heretics and get full toughness
So I went down right path
if we're talking about O4B, it's very good
Then I tried middle path a few days ago
And I was likeā¦yeah Iām fucking stupid
This is way better
I did basically the opposite
one isn't inherently stronger than the other
Went with middle path, but went right path when I started getting into the helbore
and now I am severely dependent on out for blood
Its not waaayy better
I use it with recon lasgun and knife and just prioritize elites
I mean
You should be doing that regardless
O4b gives you more value on every source of toughness gained
Donāt think you understand how many elites I get
having spent a lot of time with all 3 toughness regain talents, O4B = CK > ET
I'm not bashing like middle talent
Its just not a clear cut
"This one is 100% better"
i think people are really underestimating O4B lol
A little bit
I overestimated it
Like the difference in
but like i said, it's build dependant
š¤·āāļø
How much toughness you gain from melee kills helps
surprise surprise
it's also very personal bias dependent
I like O4B because it allows me to regen toughness lost while killing basic shooters/stalkers
i like it because i enjoy recovering 20% toughness with a single swing of the rashad
Middle tree leaves me high and dry 5 seconds into a fight after I've gunned down all the elites in a shooter line
Like it's not about focusing elites imo
That's just standard
You gotta be flexible to kill elites and kill hordes
there have also def been times where i've been boxed in by like three bombers
can't see shit because everything is on fire / covered in green fart
and the AI director is just throwing endless hordes of trash
At that point just run exhilarating takedown.
can't proc CK 
I would rather also get the double toughness from melee kills too
The shooter regen is the main thing keeping me using it over CK, but if that was all it did I wouldn't be using it
I didnāt know that. Thank you.

Its just preference, and like suffice it to say i don't got a balanced build cause of ds4 
honestly
and this is me, a very big Out for Blood fan
CK is better
just because you take Close Order to reach it, vs. One Motion for O4B
i miss Vanguard
anyway that said im happy that Confirmed Kill has been nerfed so fucking much lmao
remember when it was 25% upfront and 25% over five seconds?
Run laspistol with weapon spec then. 15% toughness per headshot kill and up to 30% tdr with fat melee speed bonuses.
You won't need the extra 5% in melee.
that said there's still something to be said for Confirmed Kill sometimes allowing you to be a bottomless toughness battery for 10~s when shitloads of elites get dropped by your grenades/plasma/whatever
close order is useless. just don't get hit. 
Just run ghostv
Don't get hit on ilas

is there a consistent way to unlock the on overwatch penance without just having teammates carry you? or do i just need to git gud
You can't take health damage
So keep your toughness maxed
Low Intensity Malice also helps
ok
??? I run knoife and found it good.
it's going to be a fraction of what you can do with rashad
Its fine
I still the mk6 horde clear ain't that bad
oh i was still thinking of mk3
but mk6 might be what, half the horde clear speed of rashad?
Its not the best at Horde Clear like PS and Rashad where its literally click once to delete 4+ enemies
but it has Horde Clear
Imo mk3 is just interior version of 6
yeah exactly, and it's why o4b really shines with strong horde clear weapons
pretty much š
mk6 hurts my hand to use
so i can only use mk3
O4B shines on Bleed Based knifes also
this is if youre team isn't actively killing the horde you proc'd bleed on
idk, i tried it before mk3, but horde clear still felt like shit
said fuck it and made it lmao
š
i dunno anymore
the poop knife
ogryn yelling at me to get into elevator just as horde popped up
and saying to vote kick me
vet with a 310 vigilant autogun
i've come around on lacerate for mk3
just because half the time your attacks aren't hitting weakspots anyway
Le abusing Rending Bleed
i haven't tried uncanny with flesh tearer
is it better than mercy killer?
Is you have serrated blade, use mercykiller, if you don't... up to you.
i know that you silly billy
Is more, no point in using a bleed then if former. Latter is just up to you since bleed kinda caps too low.
Uncanny + Lac/FT if you're not doing Serrated but insist on a bleed build
Outside of that usually Run like Uncanny + Precog
That's on you.
Get on the elevator and stop fighting the enemies that spawn infinitely and will just spawn again if you loiter long enough.
thing is
the moment you go through that elevator
theyll show up on the other side
might as well kill them then and there
When they show-up on the other side, it'll be because you progressed instead of standing still, and you won't get a second horde if the first one is still active.
Additionally, you can at least get more ammo, a potential medicae, and also go the same place as all the rest of your teammates want to go.
i'll start blocking every player that mass pings elevator or anything
remind me when i'm done with this match
mass ping elevator
im coming bro
stfu noob
????
Like if theres people fighting hordes, you cant just spam ping bro
Help them out and get out of the elevator
It's a team based game. Someone trying to punch enough raindrops to stop a storm is just protagonist syndrome, especially if the team is waiting on you to stop being dead weight.
real
You should speedrun the game!!!!
its not protagonist syndrome bro i cant fkn just get out of 10 ragers up my ass
Like to be fair if they're getting bogged doooown
so true relic blades turns rager packs into paste
You should probably help a tiiny bit
im all for progressing and not holding the team back but mass ping = block
nahh i think ill stand there like a moron
-every malice player
Tau falling to shouty mindset 
We trusted you as a vet /j
we were approaching an area where 1. bad hordes already exist when you enter 2. where monstrosities almost always spawn 3. where i've seen teams die the most, in my experience, in that mission
I hate how common its becoming where im actually carrying a team with E.Stance
it doesn't matter you don't get more hordes. you always get a bit of a downtime between hordes as the director recovers "points". i'd rather kill the horde, go elevator (or rather an area progression checkpoint or whatever it's called), then face whatever is on the other side
Very underrated ability
what a terrible strategy to go to the next area with a horde in tail
Well I was forced into a Wipe cause a Zealot stack thought it would be a great idea to run directly into a Brute Horde
immediately get overheaded and die
and I dont have VOC or any shredders on hand
so you know what happened next
the ogryn, whose mission it wasn't (havoc) (meaning he wasn't risking his rank), then went on to intentionally aggro two deamonhosts that mission which we could have gone around
Wait, you were loitering on havoc?
loitering?
Well now you're just asking for everyone to go to the next area with double the corruption and someone dropped by a scab stalker in half a second!
why play the game just 4 stack with knife and cloaks and run to elevator
Valid strat.
I mean come on go eaasy arty
Things happen
You dooo gotta help your team move
If someone's getting delayed, you're ahead
You probably should go back š
@latent parcel H40? Need for weekly box. Cranial+Pus skin Warren.
Me with my skull dented by crusher and maulers overheads
ain't even about that, it's just foolish adding MORE ENEMIES onto a horde when that's completely, utterly unnecessary
half convinced it was you chatting while playing the game and staying back
there really needs to be an option to just disable joining ongoing games
Lets start with doing something about people dropping the moment they go down, they don't even wait for the person standing next to them to pick them up anymore
Welcome to LeaveTide, feel free to leave when you go down, I know you aren't strong enough to last for the respawn timer
never forget
it is LeaveTide

You still need help Karien? Sorry i was eating lunch
nah, what i'm suggesting would take them 5 seconds
what you want would require changes to the game design
and in any case, giving more options to queue would decrease the chance people drop out quickly anyway
We failed anyway. Now nobody left so... Can't run anyway.
maybe later
I'll be too eepy in about 2 hours anyway with my cycle...
You rang?
Karien needs help with her 40 or something along those lines
Call it done
@unreal nova you got any tries left?
Yes. And I was clicking cats.
I can get on.
I shall await ya in 40k
š
So uhh, how are we doing this? Do I just pull my Zealot?
Sure!
Kay. Do I set region to EU or US, just to hope we get a better server for you guys.
damn u got papa willy and not me
im so sad bro getting left out
carry me instead š
Hell na
you're prob not good enough to carry me anyway 
na i dont play heresy sorry bro
yeah i figured you wouldn't be able to carry at heresy anyway
all good
i'll just keep doing AM quickplay
Id rather kill myself
nah QP is fun
the wild shit you see on there
it never ceases to amuse
QP because where else will I learn to clutch?
yeah honestly playing with good players outside of h40 is just š„±
i'd rather play solo
Man the smoke grenade needs to either be overhauled or changed to something else. I had a veteran who was throwing these and it was actively detrimental whenever it's deployed.
My guess probably doing the penance
One time there was a crusher that appeared out of the smoke like a character introduction lol
What do you mean good? I'm the bottom barrel heresy player.
Ask any of them. They now know.
WHatever the heck that means.
Also, nu. Willy carry.
But yes, this is why H40 hard. Can i go back to being trash at heresy jokes.
What do you think.
Only until next week when we have to do h40 again
I kinda told you I play my Zealot differently from my Vet.
Then uhh, I guess i'll just be an aurabot and free crits.
But yes. Been wondering if I should change my curios at times.
You know I went 2 HP, 1 Stam. XD
Yupp
Also. 15% HP or however they math that as substats.
You did fine. Next time your going to go on your oggy right?!!
Jokes on you, my Oggy can't even go auric.
š¦
Lvl 8.
I have no mood to even do weeklies alone.
Do you think I'll even suffer pugs on that class?
No.... Problay not
Just takes time to get better. You don't have that much time in the game!
Some say just get dragged through the hardest diff, you'll learn faster. I just stare at them.
Lmao
Nah don't do that. Just have fun with what ur playing and ull get better over time
Not really, if anything, I get worse, lul.
Get a mouse and keyboard 
Nu. I'll play even worse.

9 flicks to turn 1 round.
I tested in the psykhanium btw.
I mean, you know I have a Logitech G502 hero and a REDRAGON DEVARAJAS K556 SE.
What do a use on a chain sword for ad clear
just 40% cleave on hit
Shred Wrath
With the Xiiig
Light spam away
Na u just suck
Ight
Eh, I'm the worst one, you know.
ok
time to run revive shout
damn running revive shout is even worse than infil š
The extra CD and range reduction hurts.
Bro does not understand the power of infiltrate
nah i like infil
but it's pretty clearly not gold shout levels
Revive nerfs it too much though, is fine in lower diffs to just pick up actual newbies.
It works better than golden toughness
If u know how to use it that is
i believe it
i'm starting to think base shout is stronger than revive shout
this is actually so fucking painful
It is.
Trips me up when I encounter someone with a modded voice
Playing with a Vet who's using the Scottish Zealot voice
Whats the differencs
Rez lets you insta pick up someone downed, but CD is now 45 secs and the AoE is 33% smaller.
Oh
Damn
It's only good when babysitting new players in lower diffs. They will go down to anything randomly and being able to just shout them up makes things easier. I mean, if you get hp hit in uprising...
I dunno, sometimes actually new players join run in our pub grim hunts. Normal shout is fine as well if you wanna press x to pick someone up.
H35+ is gonna make me lose my mind
Oh that revive meter completely filled? Too bad, your toughness was broken by one rifleman 2 milliseconds before the revive finished so your buddy is still downed, and now you're downed too, and now your third is downed after getting hit by a trapper from a mile away
Need a ride buddy?
Ya know what, sure, I've got an hour-ish to spare
Splendid my friend! Pick a vc strike team and we go with this
Alrighty, but just so ya know, I probably won't be talking much - Strike Team 12?
More chainaxe revving, heh.
AY
isnt it like 5 a.m for you? what u doin up stil
you loved our no bubble run. shut
IT IS
i just can't sleep 
I heard that if someone closed their eyes, kept their room dark and didn't kept looking at their phone each 10 minutes then they would have slept already
Oh wait he is probably sleeping now

Dang it
lol no
Whatās the build for cleaning monstrous specialists
Thunderhambber
No wait
Wrong class
Uhhhhhhh
Plasma Gun

nah it's not rly a boss dps gun
krak + high boss dmg melee
oh i thought you ran something like exe stance
easy perfect roll Vigilant
gonna buy it then
I wish that gun is better.
shattering is not for boss
sire my beloved
lol love it when someone triggers a DH up to 99%, and then when i walk past it, it gets triggered on me
If i were to make a dedicated boss build id probably use a ps mk6, bolter, with kraks and voc. Ws is safer but tag is probably better dmg wise.
You can squeeze efficiency with blessing and some talent choice, but at some point you become way worse on other aspects like horde control
VoC is the ult that can abuse "dmg on ult activation" the best: stunning plague ogryn and spawn means easier weakspot access. BoN is the most annoying boss.
ES bolter + krak
Is the power sword meant to end it's charge whenever you get hit, makes the weapon actually painful to use
ES has 0 control, 0 melee support and no survability impact. In practice voc consistency is just better
Also voc can throw boss over edge
Boss, what if we could carry you on shoulder
Boss can then focus on shooting and use...numbers stance!
Boss never in melee, good combo

Yeah...
Everyone is free to create exciting build idea
in practice, it depends on the skill level of the player
ES is extremely powerful... in the right hands
for the average joe though, the funny golden toughness button is a better option
but if you want max boss damage, ES gonna be better
and ES does have melee impact
as well as survivability impact... if you're not shit at the game 
you're the one who pinged me with a reply lol
We shouldn't do anything around the average pub player
Or base anything off em, unless you want a helldiver situation
And you throw everything i wrote in the garbage bin with what basically is a "git gud"
Make every shot count is the most unintelligible penance they could have made. It bursts my brain
It's always that 1 extra miss from a teammate killing the enemy first or you have the accuracy good and you end up losing the game because u can't use the gun aka the one thing that is good for veteran
lol don't take it personally
get gud maff.
i love shooting my lasgun into a horde of ragers and coming out on top
I dont take it personally. Anymore 
exy stance
Only if u don't get biooptics 
Or whatever that subnode is
I already die so much with voc, i cant justify my es+mf bolter in h40
Sirosky can! get gud bro
i think the original question was for AM no?
Am answering to the gremlin here
since you want attention so badly, here it is
Lmao
Veterans try to not be bad at the game, imposible challenge
Ogryn away now that all Bosses mad
Its a mode created for the novices
Average monstro ?
dont worry youll work ur way up to it one day maff..
i do wanna see ur exe stance in havoc though 
No you dont 
Why not!
Cuz i will eat every ammo and require even more babysitting
u eat all the ammo anyway
Tru
and i dont baby sit you regardless

Be eating ammo left and right yes
Bet ur still scarred from chonkys infiltrate vet
With an es build ? You bet i am
I dont do scar sorry
Is recon las es dead shot build still good?

U can melt crusher pretty quick with it tbh but it's been awhile
I think it did somewhat fall off when they made that one node melee only for rending or brittleness?
Back when surv had no cd, i think i used the ciag
To kill crusher in half a sec
Still works. Not ammo efficient though
Surv no CD was lit when u had 3 ogryns with gg or rumblers
Buff weapon specialist pls fatty fish itās too under powered
Sounds like another class acronym i would not know of
Wish they didnāt do that cooldown
Wish it was not an aura
At least now zealot knows how it feel to have a mandatory aura tax
And getting insulted if you dont pick it 
you talkn about beacon?
Why ofc
Probably
that shit sucks. 5 point tax for goop aura cleanse
Yeah Iām talking about Inexorable Judgement
Beacon is terrible
Yeah
I mean catch a breath isnāt terrible
But still mid
Well, it is more about the fact that all talent tree must go left
passives above beacon are straight trash
nah
Zealot has 2 builds
unless u mean replacing MF for IJ
They both path almost the exact same
ya zealot needs some tree rework eventually. i think there doing ogryn first though
I would not mind mf getting replaced
MF?
Marksman focus
MF the keystone nobody uses
Marksmanās focus
Darktide April Fools needs to be replacing zealot with orgyn
Or Motherf...
Oh I'm dumb
Itās only used for penances
ogryn already p strong cant wait to see what they do to him
I dread to think
Me looking at a good 40% of my builds now
Like no one uses MF or I've yet to see a vet use one
Yes
This is true Iām trying to figure out how orgyns struggle
Mains Vigilant Autoguns, Realizes MF massively buffs said thing about the VA
uses it with Tunnel Vision
Holy peak..
There most prized thing is shield and itās push is so amazing
Alot of people just like complaining about ogryn. idk i think they just need more then just 2 good melee weapons and there in a good spot
Ok real
They complain cause not fast enough
Yeah I donāt like his mobility penalties
Mf suffers from having terrible availability. And it is in competition with tag...
I kid you not itās not even the class itās the melees that are so horrendously power crept
But there are definite workarounds
But donāt tell them Iām unironically using the weakest melee the bully club
Tbh I don't bother using any of them for all my builds ngl
Ya his dodge distance does suck but its still usable
Playing orgyn and tac axe is like playing vermintide 2
I trust you, vigilante user
cough dueling sword & knife for other classes cough
Not power crept, just never been good enough in comparison
hit 1.6mil on my ogryn eariler. slowly getting to that 1.8!
Dodging can throw u off abit if u don't main ogryn, especially with bosses
I dont main ogryn hes my least played. only thing i suck at dodging is the chaos spawn grab
but thats cuz i suck
How the hell are you stalling this much to reach those number
there was no stalling
No it's because u probably been doing it wrong like I was the entire time
Probably Havoc
Yeah, and i am playing speed aura
Yea the āpeakā is hitting 600+ overkill damage on every gunner and shotgunner
we had a chorus zealot do 500k 
People usually hit min 800k
lemme find the board
Give the timer
Ur suppose to slide n dodge to the right when chaos spawns is trying to grab
I want through the effort of adding a timer to the scoreboard mod
Still does the job š¬
Donāt mock me boi; i conpensate in other areas x3
Well I mean itās Scriers
Not in mine. Game fast
yeah i aint mad
Donāt slide; sliding does not dodge melee attacks
he played good
Itās turns the Glass Cannon into a Glass Nuke
Glass Exterminatus
If i get 1m+ it means game too slow in my book
53min chasm logi
More like glass fart
Go figure
I do both at the same time so I never really notice tbh plus what's the harm
He was singing with the chorus
53 min game is almost 2 game lenght 
If you would be playing havoc 40s like we do you would not be surprised; book zealots donāt get high dmg numbers
not really for high havoc
Ogryn is underrated in H35+ will never understand the insta denies over them
Tru, 35min is probably reasonable
I was expecting at least 800k
ya if ur team is all good its 35-40min
Iāve had a fair share of 40s
Because u can't just walk up to little ones with a stick and your a big target for those boss killer shootybois
The harm is once you start sliding you stop dodging for melee hits; range does not get affected
Stop imposing 300 latency on karien
I can see that dark communion victory of ours 
high havoc pubs is like 45 min on average i think
but if ur teams good it can be 35-40
Sadly i did not record that battle with the Captain solo + specials
that was a good one
im sad u didnt get the res's off
would have been peak chainaxe
Mine are shorter on average. Cuz i play like a lunatic probably
With a squishy build too
We dont usually run CC
Prob not the host
Yeah; all it takes is 1 sniper overwatching the rez area to deny you a crutch
It is what it is
I dont care either way 
Is only in death good considering the downsides
Still was imo; i have not seen yet anyone use it like i do in havoc
takes me back to our 55minute gloriana 
Snipers do find ways to get a sneak shot ngl
Well, we had no dmg on this one
It was not the shot but just him being there
i think i had to clutch for 5+ minutes of that run
and u got yeeted 4 times
best game ever
I think it was twice 
you and the psyker went flying
Barrelmancy
I wonder if I suck or is it insanely hard to take down chaos spawns solo clutching h40

Solo clutching in general is incredibly difficult in H40
One fuck up is usually death
its def hard since there so aggro
Chaos spawn does not give you any window for a tiny break
Cs is annoying but one can manage. It is the special with it the priblem
It is not easy if other enemies assault you as well
Beast of nurgle is more of a solo clutch killer
depends how much room u have
Not much
and if ur on ogryn or not 
Not really; you can kite the burgle easily point blank without being splashed
I play ps6 so no i cant
Chaos spawn on vigil station long bridge after elevator from mid obj is so hard to deal with
My dodge distance is 2 pixels
Just ledge it lmao
ya i just run past it and res the team at the end at that point
i know exactly what spot ur talking about
I would say run Las pistol and do a Shocktrooper build with it but I assume you insist on keeping Plasma over really anything else
Ik but team forgot to 
Cause pairing Laspistol with PS is⦠shockingly good
maff only has 2 loadouts
I am supposed to shoot bon ? 
and neither of them have las pistol
I have like, 6 plasma/ps layout
Well I mean you could, but itās more so the Laspistol is making up for the lukewarm dodge profiles of PS
I guess so but usually a death sentence if u aren't a vet or zealot
i made a WS plasma/ps loadout and it is very strong. what was ur axe loadout?
ogryn can make it i think. rip psyker tho
Depend. Axe is like better mobility ps but worse dmg on ogryn and boss.
With bolter it is just here for cc horde
Cuz ps6 was too clunky
So you can stick axe on most ps6 build imo
Usually play psyker for pubs h40
Typically do well till team encounter boss fight ngl
ya psyker is extremely painful to solo clutch on and boss dps isnt the highest
I dont have to worry about solo clutch. Mostly cuz i die first 
Still think itās fucking hilarious one of the most effective builds you can run
On Veteran
Is the Bistol Shredder Build
The sheer raw damage you get from shredder spam in havoc is insane lmao
Cause thereās always elites in hordes youāre usually proccing demo team
So more frags, meaning more damage meaning
More dead everything
You have to play bistol though
The funny thing is I can clutch just fine on mael or auric but not h40
cuz shooters most likely. h40 is alot more unforgiving
Not terrible at all just run puncture LP if itās pus hardened
Well, i can clutch mael and auric through sheer dmg. Havoc you cant really do that
bistol is good maff dont hate. u seen me run it
Havoc demands team play
it doesnt put out plasma dps but its a good change of pace
I hate the gunplay compared to boltgun
Yeah u gotta be smart or tactical about positioning all the time
It is not about being good or bad. I dont like recon either
I like autogun
which
They are just weak rn
poor autoguns
Bistol is great for meme grenadier build
Agri braced and vrak inf
vrak inf is very good. Agri braced is pretty off meta
I also want to like shotgun
Vrak is an ammo sink
combat shotty is eh, but the DBS on vet is pure money
Maff u take all the ammo already whats the difference
True, I have a dbs build to check
lol
I tasted pre-surv nerf is the diff
just gotta melee more
who didnt
Surv ciag was ammo neutral 
L
Miss the taste of prenerf ES before patch 13 
Cant take the heat
Nop
That was bolter glory day
Buutter
Not in boss maelstrom it wasnt
Oh well, i think the same about ds4 right now. Guess i have different read on what a top weapon is
Me playing like a lunatic probably explains it
Limit ds4 to psyker only
Nah that ship has sailed already
i dont even use it anymore
I stopped using it a while ago
It's boring and a crutch at the same time
well thankfully the horde clear on it is pretty butts
š
not the worst but not good
The dodge distance is ridiculous
Just slap agile and uncanny and yawn
Coming from combat axe and ps: yeah the horde clear is pretty butt
Or macro knife i guess 
Who needs hordes clear when u got meat shields to do it for u
hey dont call my ogryn a meat shield
I like redudancy
You are an evil fellow
Absolute cinema if u have had a zealot agro half the map if not the entire map towards u + a boss while the same knife stealth zealot continues ahead
