#

wrath doesn't exist on it

calm shard
#

yeah

#

it also wouldn't help

tame lodge
#

Chain axe doesn't have wrath yeah

austere pine
#

IT HAS NO FUCKING CLEAVE BLESSING

calm shard
#

chain axe has a hard cleave limit

austere pine
#

oh hell naw

calm shard
#

you can never damage more than 4 enemies per swing with it

austere pine
#

which is ultimately fine but you still need to hit more dudes

tame lodge
#

Anyways 12 has 8 cleave on lights

#

The 21st might be too thick for it

austere pine
#

cleave blessings tend to have more cleave value than strength blessings

tame lodge
#

Indeed

austere pine
#

which is why i don't want to risk it

#

chainsword 4 maybe?

#

i'm just looking for havoc-viable vet melees that aren't the rashad

calm shard
#

chain sword can honestly barely kill bruisers its damage is so bad

tame lodge
#

Chainsword is more horde oriented but Havoc will send tons of elites and such as well

austere pine
#

and that aren't power sword because those two weapons i've played WAY too much of

calm shard
#

I used knife and bolt pistol for havoc

#

also heavy sword/helbore

austere pine
#

i might be the no. 1 ds hater but i'm also the no. 1 bistol disliker

#

but hsword helbore does sound nice. will need to level the helbores though

tame lodge
#

It'll have to be a Havoc Rashad which I don't remember how to build
Or DS and Knife for single target reasons

austere pine
#

what about mk1 shovel

tame lodge
#

Hsword is supposed to munch through hordes and "lesser" elites
You just have to bring a ranged for bosses and carapace

tame lodge
austere pine
#

hotshot helbore

tame lodge
#

Because hotshot helps with melee cleave for some reason

austere pine
#

oh hotshot is a blessing

#

hsword plasma? doesn't sound terrible

austere pine
#

i think it's official enough that i don't like helbores

tame lodge
#

Unfortunate but understandable

#

It really is an acquired taste

wild vortex
#

Does helbore mandate exe stance use

calm shard
#

no but it helps

austere pine
#

i don't like it for reasons exe stance can't fix

grand perch
#

helbore with exec + mf hits way hard

austere pine
#

which hsword does vet like the most?

#

i found a fucking relic fellers

surreal gust
#

0 percent damage lets go

normal bay
#

IX is great for horde clear. L1 then spam heavies gives you infinite horizontal attacks

pseudo fiber
#

9 and I've been enjoying the 7 the H1 does a stupid amount of damahe

uncut pebble
#

Vet gets better mileage out of mk7 than mk9 because you don't open with a strikedown heavy.

austere pine
#

why are deathblow and bromentum the same blessing but are called different things?

surreal gust
#

So you can stack em

austere pine
#

no such thing

tame lodge
#

Something something
FS didn't want a Bladed weapon to have the name of Brutal Momentum

#

Or something along those lines

sleek garden
#

Not in hordes

ancient path
sleek garden
#

true but I could just take devils claw and hold heavy

deft lotus
#

Is it just me or are ranged weapons outscaled by havoc 20+? I have a plasma with max dmg and it takes a couple shots to take out gunners with the armor, and even still its 2-shotting unarmored onrs

deft lotus
sleek garden
#

That weak ass wrist flick

#

hell no

unreal nova
#

From memory.

sleek garden
#

I jest but it's very satisfying to do the parry

#

and the mk1 dclaw heavies are good at crowd control

#

That is what I look for in melee weapons in this game mostly, horde control and modest single target damage as a backup

#

Every other melee has to work much harder to kill a rager horde

grand perch
#

does anyone actually use the feature to keep pressing F to see your ability radius (ie shout) ?

narrow frost
#

yes

#

as a light show

#

(for myself)

surreal gust
#

Veteran rave

grand perch
#

they should get rid of it so the ability activates on button press instead of slightly delayed on releasestaregryn

hollow ibex
#

weird how OP spent all this effort to say that that he has skill issues

vernal trench
#

Lmfao it sucks so bad in horde clear

#

Especiall on moebians

#

Ur gonna have trouble even killing 3 moebians in a horde

#

U gotta kill them one by one

sleek garden
#

I don't play havoc

#

it works fine on moebian hordes

vernal trench
#

Too bad cuz moebians are coming to aurics

sleek garden
#

They were in aurics before

vernal trench
#

They comin bakc

sleek garden
#

I fought them just fine then

#

I will kill them now

vernal trench
#

They prolly dont have the crazy hitmass they do in havocs

hollow ibex
#

path said 1.5 hitmass

sleek garden
#

Devils claw is frustratingly bad in havoc and partially why I don't play in it

hollow ibex
#

so a light can cleave 2 of them

vernal trench
#

My damage thumbsdown_ogryn when i use knife on moebians

sleek garden
#

You can't even proc savage sweep

vernal trench
hollow ibex
#

yes and 4.8 inside havoc

sleek garden
#

the crowd control weapon sucks at hordes in havoc

#

I don't want to use wrath I want to use savage sweep

hollow ibex
#

i'm going to stop running knife when the event starts

sleek garden
#

Blessings shouldn't just shut off in havoc

vernal trench
hollow ibex
#

and taxe too for that matter

sleek garden
#

Or certain weapons shouldn't be useless

hollow ibex
vernal trench
#

Lmao i dont bother crowd clearing much if i get moebians and im running knife

#

Cant do much against them

hollow ibex
#

yeah, at that point leave it to the purg psyker with inf cleave

hollow ibex

Oh yea wtf

and then stopped there KEKW_ogryn w

#

good team

dry cloak
#

2 ghosts damn

austere pine
#

they were barely in the match

#

this guy here (the guy in the red) was level 28 in normal maelstrom

#

i think i'll stay in auric because there you at least get a guarantee that you get level 30s

dry cloak
austere pine
#

sure, sometimes, but that happens like 2% of the time

dry cloak
#

I have tried farming loe havocs but it got stale fast

tame void
#

does deadly accurate affect critical hits as well as weak spot dmg?

#

or only crits on weakspots?

calm shard
#

only critical weak spot hits

tame void
#

ty

calm shard
#

also that 100% is more like ~50% effective damage boost

#

depends on the weapon

tame void
#

how so

#

say the kantrael mk 7

sleek garden
#

your 1.5k damage crit headshot is not doing 3k damage it's probably more like 2.5k

#

for everything but a crusher it's still guaranteeing an instant kill

#

I mean my gun does at least 3000 on a crit headshot because in the psykhanium it instant kills a dreg rager

calm shard
#

with deadly accurate crit headshots for 1103

#

without it on the same build it crit headshots for 790

#

so it only gets a ~30% damage boost

calm shard
sleek garden
#

Yeah I love them for that

calm shard
#

it's just the way that boosts to crit damage/weakspot work

sleek garden
#

on scab gunners a base crit headshot won't one shot them without marksmans focus stacks, around 800 seems right without deadly accurate

calm shard
#

It only boosts the extra damage you get from a crit/weakspot hit

#

not the full damage of the hit

sleek garden
#

I'd say it sounds dumb that it does that but a lot of weapons would start instant killing things

tame void
#

i see, thanks for info

Basically Crit on weakspot hit

#

i took the liberty of assuming only men play this game. which is false

hollow ibex

Fair assumption

#

But it's actually men and femboys

True

my GF will be fairly surprised

#

wow, grenadier vet is hilarious fun

#

actually silly

hollow ibex
#

So all his points are in the top half of the tree

deft lotus
unreal nova
deft lotus
#

More that it can 2-3 shot crushers maulers and ragers

#

And then whenever I have a grenade up just use that on gun lines

unreal nova
#

No, as in, the number of things it can shoot through before cleave limit.

deft lotus
#

The plasma? I didnt even know it could shoot through enemies. Does it only do that on kill?

unreal nova
#

I thought it could cleave groaners like a railgun.

deft lotus
#

Yea but im not firing it at groaners but gunners and infantry most of the time

#

Those are what vet is supposed to be taking down but im very inefficient at it

unreal nova
#

Yes, but sometimes you just need to shoot through things to get to them.

hollow ibex
unreal nova
#

Yes, why i said, like 9 or so?

deft lotus
#

Yea but even without cleave it feels like my ranged dps is lacking at havoc 20+

#

Are there any talents that are must-haves for this

unreal nova
#

The funny thiung is, all i heard was Plasma so OP, you need nothing for it.

tall torrent
tame lodge
#

But last time I checked it was 100 cleave

iron silo
#

50 for uncharged, 100 for charged

unreal nova
deft lotus
unreal nova
#

And with Havoc mobians being like 4.8 each, you can shoot around 9 targets, or 8+the target you need to hit.

deft lotus
#

So its normal to take 4-5 shots to kill?

tame lodge
#

Yeah I was just checking the mass modifier at h40

deft lotus
#

Maybe ill go with the recon lasgun then

#

Set them on fire

tame lodge
#

Times 3.20

tall torrent
#

So yea 5 headshots

deft lotus
#

Bro im talking gunners rn i just melee crushers at this point

tall torrent
#

Gunners should take 2

#

Usually

deft lotus
#

Maybe accuracy issue then

tall torrent
#

Unless pus hardened

tall torrent

Cuz most people build it wrong

deft lotus
#

Gets hot and rising heat

tall torrent
#

Perks

deft lotus
#

I have carapace and weakspot dmg but i might replace it with flak

tall torrent
#

Yea perks are very wrong

#

Take unarmored + flak

deft lotus
#

Unarmored is anything but carapace and flak right

#

I would assume so but not put it past fs to consider unyielding as armored or smth

tall torrent
#

Unarmored is just for unarmored

deft lotus
#

So the bald ragers would get +25 dmg correct?

tall torrent
#

No

deft lotus
#

+25%*

tall torrent
#

They’re maniac

tall torrent
deft lotus
#

So unarmored is just groaners and dregs?

tall torrent
#

No

#

Dreg gunner
Dreg shotgunner
Dreg tox bomber

raw needle
#

twins have base unarmored chadgryn

tall torrent
#

Unarmored on plasma gives shotgunner and tox bomber 1 headshot kill in max havoc scaling

deft lotus
#

Cult champions are armored?

tall torrent
#

And improves breakpoints in regular damnation too

deft lotus
#

Dont remember if they are or not but i never got any armor hitmarkers aside from the shield

Yall have any recommendations on blessings for DB shotgun? Been playing a lot of doom here lately.

tame lodge
#

Manstopper + Flechette/Scattershot
Deathspitter + Both Barrels

#

First choice is for weapon specialist gameplay

mental cloud
#

Ahh ok was about to ask.

tame lodge
#

3 kills should be enough to proc MS so scatter might not be needed

hollow ibex
#

If you run it with WS, which you should, you won't need scattershot

mental cloud
#

Flechette then? I’m running shredders too

#

Or another damage blessing?

minor stump
#

Any tips for Killshot Ready penance on controller? Thinking more like braced autogun more than single shot weapons, but idk

mental cloud
minor stump
#

Ohh all in on the rapid fire lol. I dig it

mental cloud
#

Accuracy by volume brother lol

tame lodge
#

I think you use Flechette so you apply bleed to every enemy hit even if you don't insta kill them, since manstopper is basically infinite cleave

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

As long as it doesn't stop at Carapace that is

mental cloud
#

Ok so go all in on bleed and cleave, the DT version of rip and tear.

hollow ibex
#

Flechettes also good for finishing off distant specialists

so ill level the defense one when i get to it

i found a combat knife yesterday that was weird

had all 80s and a 61 mobility

It's a bad one.

Means something else is 79.5%

#

While the mobility is 60.5%.

next dawn

omg i got ripped off

unreal nova
#

You can totally get it to use, but it's not perfect.

#

Generally shouldn't be an issue but OCD.

next dawn

yeah hahaha

#

i guesss in the grand scheme of things, that 0.5% doesnt matter

#

when if im really min maxing

#

i think everyone would say duelling sword

unreal nova

Just brunt then.

#

Or make one and game says you need a 470 perfect roll knoife.

#

So now you have a 500 and a 470 perfect knoife.

dusky kernel
#

Question, shotguns on Vet something that is viable?

unreal nova
#

Just use Bolt Pistol if you plan on Agripinna.

dusky kernel
#

Well I ask cause I need to level them, so was wondering if there was a way to make them work.

unreal nova
#

Double barrel is just weapon specialist memes that actually work. You want always prepared btw.

#

Combat is, just feed hadron combat shotguns.

#

They are just uber clunky to use. Agripinna needs to 'load' after every shot.

#

One of the other two deals way less damage with the special.

#

And their normal shots sit at meh already.

gaunt anchor
#

What is wrong with Combat shotguns? I am curious because I always enjoyed the special slug rounds to rip through crushers.

terse idol
#

Double barrel with always prepared is pretty goood

unreal nova
#

Also, the reload times. WS doesn't help your agripinna reload since it's special load and not normal.

unreal nova
#

It would be better if the special was a toggle, but newp.

unreal nova
#

Well, the ping one

halcyon blaze
#

Lately yes, but last time I used it quite a bit was with Marksman's Focus, unconventional, but it worked, especially since Marksman's Focus increases reload speed the more stacks you have.

unreal nova
#

But crabwalking reeeeeeeeeeee

halcyon blaze
#

Nah, I was just getting a decent amount of weakspot kills with headshots, Agrippina is good for that.

#

You loose stacks slower than you think.

unreal nova
#

You are talking to me, person who can't aim for dook so is 'nadier melee vet.

#

My Bolt Pistol only serves to buff my now roomwide 'nades.

There's a reason why I still haven't done 4 weakspots thing. My recon doesn't help for that and I can't aim for anything.

Heyho fellow Vets !
I'm working a bit towards the Vet penance to do 250 kills with crit weakspot hits with weapon mastery active. So I'm thinking about using either the revolver or the bolt pistol for this (as with the recon lasgun I kinda fail at making much progress).
Any recommendations you guys might have to offer?

pseudo fiber
#

Revolver is a good choice yeah

uncut pebble
#

Revolver and bp are both good choices because of their access to hand cannon and deadly accurate, respectively.

#

Shotguns are also a good choice.

pastel yew
#

though if it is that, then it's less about ranged weapon selection and more about melee weapon selection if I had to give advice

#

you want something with strong swap speed, that can kill several entities in a single swing

#

zarona + rashad is almost definitely the best setup

molten gazelle
#

Ah yea I did mean weapon specialist haha. Good call.
Indeed, never thought about the melee part. Currently using the chainaxe.
I'll have a look at that too, and build out both revolver & Bpistol. I have the mastery for both anyway, and see what suits me better.
Thank you all !

iron silo
#

so if you have a weapon with decent crit chance that can speed things up

molten gazelle
#

hmmm. I did not take that into account indeed.
But the melee stack is only 1, but yea it could be +1 kill to the counter. Nice !

molten gazelle
#

Not bad did a test heresy run and got about25-30 kills towards the penance.
I do need to learn to not unnecessarily switch between melee and gun hehe

#

how much harder do I need to carry these APAC shitters

#

I am unable to can

faint beacon
#

So just tap fire

wild vortex
#

how am I even outdamaging two purg psykers and a ds4 zealot

#

like what

faint beacon
#

The 20% damage overall is pretty huge on the Graia 7 VA

faint beacon
#

It’s encouraging sniping but if you want Crit and increased critical Weakspot damage do Surgical + Deadly Accurate

brazen mural
#

I will give him the options 😄

#

That might work well with the wall hack ability from vet, so he will be happy

#

I have not converted him to a shut vet, as I want him to experience the game more naturally. But when it comes to blessings I will gladely help with does and donts

who the hell leaves on Havoc 37?

#

when we're standing right next to the respawn?

#

I'm so sad yesterday I crashed the moment I died and it was because of an outdated mod...

Now I got demoted for this weekly wraaaaa

#

Havoc moment

astral ermine
#

I gotta say I do enjoy the recon and plasma but I gotta find a nicer alternative

#

There has to be some other viable options

tame lodge
#

Infantry Autogun

#

Specially the vraks 5 for brrrr reasons

thick kestrel
#

there is in fairness, plenty which is viable... it's just the top end is a bit of an outlier

hollow ibex
#

Vet has a LOT of options

#

Even in just the top end

thick kestrel
#

but infantry autoguns, recon lasguns, revolvers and the bolt weapons are all solid high end picks

brazen mural
#

braced autoguns as well^^

#

How is the exe stance with Infantry lasgun? I remember that to be very good during the beta and for the first months of DT's time

terse idol
#

Infantry lasguns

#

Double barrel on always prepared

#

Is it just me or does infilrate seem rather underwhelming other then the capacity to invis rezz people? Maybe I am just using it wrong

gaunt anchor
#

The uhh, reduced threat or bonus damage one?

tall torrent
#

Reduced threat

gaunt anchor
#

Oh I have used it before

hollow ibex
#

Not as broken as VOC though

gaunt anchor
#

I guess I am just used to how shroudfield works rather then Infiltrate

hollow ibex
#

Yeah the charge rate on infil is much longer

#

But it does allow you to move to better positions

vernal trench
gaunt anchor
#

I just, don't know how to use infilrate then it seems other then moving away and sneaky rezzes

vernal trench
#

rescuing is good sometimes for it

#

but not the main use for infiltrate

hollow ibex
#

Infil can do a lot of things

vernal trench
hollow ibex
#

Rescue, objectives, panic button, relocate and smash the gunner line, etc

vernal trench
#

its much better than shout if u can use it well and ur team doesnt need to crutch on golden toughness

gaunt anchor
#

then I shall rework my infilrate build

#

wondering if I should go with focus target instead of like weapon specalist for support

trim badger
terse idol
#

gold toughness isn't a crutch it's a feature chadgryn

vernal trench
terse idol
#

You run VOC without the gold tougness ONE TIME

#

And really it's just

#

a fart

vernal trench
#

well yea its meant to be used with golden toughness tho

terse idol
#

probably the lowest value blitz

gaunt anchor
#

the funny gold makes my brain release happy chemicals

terse idol
#

but with gold then it's S+

#

and tac awarness

#

Easy pick

vernal trench
#

but u bring 90% of havoc 40 players into a havoc with no golden toughness

#

they instantly fold

terse idol
#

I mean, chorus

vernal trench
#

so called true survivors

terse idol
#

Or bubble

vernal trench
#

the biggest crutches

terse idol
#

smh

tame lodge
#

Me omw to tell the Emperor he's crutching on gold

vernal trench
#

lfmao

gaunt anchor
#

'if you bring the best survival tools to the more intense mode, you are crutching' is a wild statement personally

vernal trench
#

if u cant survive without it its crutching

terse idol
#

Infil is a survival tool

#

Its a crutch

shadow dagger
#

wonder what they'd have to do to shouts res augment to make it worth even considering

terse idol
#

Exe is the only uncrutchable talent

#

Crutchless

vernal trench
terse idol
#

Wheelchairless

vernal trench
#

yea exec stance is glass cannon

terse idol
#

Infil is a crutch because it gives you back all your touthness

#

And makes you invisible, it's a crutch

vernal trench
#

yea if u spam it whenever u see anything

gaunt anchor
#

I like myfunny chorus cause it gives my teammates dmg buffs 😭

grand perch
#

you have a very weird definition of a crutch

grand perch
#

by that logic all skills are crutch if you cant do havoc 40 with 0 talent points and grey weapons KEKW_ogryn

gaunt anchor
#

wait a minute, if an ogryn is using loyal protector to save his teammates, are the other 3 rejects all using crutches unknowingly 🤔

vernal trench
#

well no because u can tank one hit kills with golden toughness

#

if ur spamming chorus and shout all game

#

u can tank eerything

#

takes no skill

grand perch
#

doesnt make it a crutch

vernal trench
#

if u say so

grand perch
#

crutch is something you leave behind once you get good enough because there are better options at higher skills

vernal trench
#

yea

#

golden toughness

tall torrent
#

What’s the “better option”

vernal trench
#

pretty much all abilities are better than shout or chorus if u can use it well

grand perch
#

youll notice even absolutely excellent players still use golden toughness

vernal trench
#

exec stance has the highest output for example

gaunt anchor
#

guys, if you have to use power tools at your construction job, you are crutching

grand perch
#

hence its not a crutch, its just the best ability

vernal trench
tall torrent
grand perch
tall torrent
atomic zephyr
#

melee weapons are crutching

vernal trench
grand perch
#

oh ok

atomic zephyr
#

your only melee should be gun bashing

vernal trench
#

most players cant survive without golden toughness

tall torrent
gaunt anchor
#

I think calling any ability that is ultimately used to keep yourself and teammates alive in a game where teamwork is the key focus is truly wild

vernal trench
#

if thats not a crutch idk what is

vernal trench
terse idol
#

You really don't need to with helbore

terse idol
vernal trench
#

na hellbore is pretty busted in ammo

terse idol
#

Because you, cannot do dps while having chorus barring like, incind nade

gaunt anchor
#

VoC also have funny voice lines :)

tall torrent
terse idol
#

I can see that

vernal trench
#

im not saying golden toughness isnt strong im just sayin if u need it to survive and cant without it its a crutch

grand perch
#

kraks would be a kind of crutch. lower skill players would grab them because they dont know how to deal with armor. but it becomes the worse option once the get better at it

terse idol
#

Its just weird to say how the other blitzs are better if used right

tall torrent
#

Blitz is your grenade

terse idol
#

Ult

#

Yer ult

#

I love mixing up terms!

#

Ahh!

gaunt anchor
#

I wish executioners stance didn't slow you down 😭

tall torrent
#

What slow down

atomic zephyr
#

it doesnt

shadow dagger
#

do you mean like

gaunt anchor
#

I thought it slowed your movement down???

atomic zephyr
#

no

shadow dagger
#

the startup taking you out of sprint

vernal trench
#

u can run with it wdym

gaunt anchor
#

Chat

shadow dagger
#

because that's every ult

gaunt anchor
#

I may have gaslight myself

atomic zephyr
#

the extra zoom reduces your FOV which may reduce the sense of speed

#

but there is no actual slowdown

tall torrent
#

So it’ll feel as if you’re slower when you’re not

gaunt anchor
#

OHHH that makes sense

#

and also the fact I was probably always ADSing with stance KEKW_ogryn

vernal trench
#

also u can extend the timer

tall torrent
#

Most weapons in this game have abysmally slow ADS movement speed

vernal trench
#

Awith melee

gaunt anchor
#

I know that part cause its epic and cool

tall torrent
#

Like ~2m/s

#

Tactical fps levels of ADS move speed

gaunt anchor
#

Okay another like, vet question. I have only used the inf lasgun for like marksman + executioners

#

should I use a differentt one? cause I like being a silly sniper

vernal trench
#

hellbore

tall torrent
#

Helbore is very bizarre

#

For the avg player inf lasgun is prob better

#

Even though it’s not the best

gaunt anchor
#

thats the charge one yeah?

vernal trench
#

yea hellbore is definitely not for everyone

#

slowp ullout time and charge

tall torrent
#

Helbore has a lot of problems

gaunt anchor
#

I wish hellbore didn't consume ammo with that crit perk one 😭

grand perch
#

it...doesnt

tall torrent
#

Low maniac damage
Low overall DPS
Super slow draw to fire
Super slow draw to aim
Abysmal iron sights
Very high talent investment

#

Tbh the first two are already dealbreakers for most people

vernal trench
gaunt anchor
#

guys, I might be a little stupid

#

I was thinking weakspot hits and not crits I think???

tall torrent
#

It’s ok everyone is a little stupid these days

gaunt anchor
#

I might be an ogryn irl

grand perch
burnt vortex
#

What's a good one and done ranged for gunners and specialists.

tall torrent
#

Base game or havoc

gaunt anchor
#

also I agree, the ironsights are bad and hurt me

burnt vortex

Auric

tall torrent
#

Revolver IIa

grand perch
#

one and done as in low talent investment?

burnt vortex
#

That the fan one or the hand cannon

grand perch
#

never the fan one

#

cowboy doesnt exist

#

throw it it in the deepest ditch

shadow dagger
#

cowboy revolver only exists during the BoN event

#

gathers dust otherwise

grand perch
#

it has like 2 builds and both are meme

burnt vortex
#

Ok, hand cannon it is KEKW_ogryn

shadow dagger
#

I think improving the staged reload of the normal revolver is one of the few things stopping it from being permanently glued to my palms

tall torrent
#

Maniac
Unarmored / elite
Point blank
2nd blessing up to u

#

Take superiority complex if u want elite over unarmored

#

Doesn’t make a huge difference for other breakpoints

#

So I prefer unarmored

#

To have lowest point cost possible

#

Point blank is the strongest crit blessing for revolver and boltpistol

shadow dagger
#

we love vet talent tree always missing like 3 points in like every fucking build ever

#

😟

tall torrent
#

Other blessing can be run&gun, surgical, crucian, really whatever

#

I use run&gun cuz it buffs handling and hip fire spread

burnt vortex
#

Would it be worth running WS and keeping it at low ammo for crucian or is that dumb

shadow dagger
#

hipfire no regs without run n gun feel so bad once you try using it with and without

#

crucian feels like such a cringe bless to me Sitgryn never use it

burnt vortex
shadow dagger
#

should always assume you're the babysitter of the lobby in open queue

#

always deal with disablers, scary specials, ranged elites

#

never bring doublebarrel

terse idol
#

Me when I'm playing with my friend and the 2 Randoms keep going down after we get them out from dead

#

Its like clockwork

shadow dagger
#

I've also noticed a weird amount of like +1k infiltrate vets thinking rushing to the last res before an elevator in preparation of a full wipe is a good idea

#

like their rushing doesn't partially cause the wipe in the first place

vernal trench
#

to this day ive never seen a half decent infiltrate vet

balmy flume
#

Which is a pain to farm for.

wild vortex
#

Stealth players are shitters and you can't change my mind

balmy flume
#

Ironically, harder when good players are on the team…

orchid hemlock
#

Using stealth seriously: 🤮

narrow frost
#

this is what a good stealth vet looks like

shadow dagger
#

so stealthy they don't even show up on leaderboard

#

how humble

balmy flume

Tau Stealth team

#

Even Zealot run stealth

"Good" stealth vet

vernal trench

Trained by the Ravenguard

thats some narrow mindset

halcyon blaze
wild vortex
#

400 hrs and never encountered a stealth player who was both good at the game and a good teammate

#

Best you get is either or

balmy flume
#

I mean, sadly, stealth runs the risk of leaving your temmate hanging dry

wild vortex
#

Mostly you get neither

balmy flume
#

Due to how enemy attention works

wild vortex
#

It is what it is

hollow ibex
#

I main stealth. Can confirm am toxic fuckwad. But that's what playing 99 percent pubbies has done to me.

vernal trench
#

mayve

halcyon blaze
#

Stealth can clutch if everyone is dead and needs rescue

vernal trench
#

maybe*

wild vortex
#

I try to queue dodge stealth players if I see them in mission select itself

vernal trench
#

yea cuz they almost always suck LMFAO

hollow ibex
#

I don't even notice players playing stealth. It's all the same to me

wild vortex
vernal trench
#

ive seen @latent parcel solo missions with shroudfield but hes like one of probably less than 3 good stealth players

#

ive ever seen

narrow frost
#

my friend uses stealth

wild vortex
#

Stealth in a team-based horde brawler is a shitty design choice anyway IMO

halcyon blaze
vernal trench
#

and he deosnte evn play stealth

terse idol
#

because it makes objectives very easy

vernal trench
#

peopel hate on stealth because no one knows how to play it and play it well

hollow ibex
#

Yeah you can play stealth very selflessly

tall torrent
#

It’s because most people don’t understand how it even works

vernal trench
#

yea and that too

halcyon blaze
tall torrent
vernal trench
#

pretty much

tall torrent
#

You’d need a basic level of understanding of how it works

vernal trench
#

they have no concept of how it can even be used

tall torrent
#

To be able to use it well

halcyon blaze
#

True

tall torrent
#

And the game never teaches you any of that

vernal trench
#

stealth builds if used effectively isnt to just run from everything

#

u can do literally everything with it

wanton dawn
#

I was told not to say "no" when it is just to rephrase what other ppl said

tall torrent
halcyon blaze
#

I liked using it to get some good surprise hits in and suppress a large group of ranged.

vernal trench
#

the best thing ive seen are dudes using infiltrate as a stun tool

#

instant exit infiltrate right before attacking

#

thats worse than using it to run from everything

terse idol
#

The secrets of infil lost on me

#

cause I didn't know how it works

halcyon blaze
#

Yeah, I assume that's why the penance is the way it is, to give the hint that that's how you should ideally use it.

vernal trench
#

most people cant even grasp how infiltrate is used

#

shroudfield is used entirely differently almost

terse idol
#

Instant exit infiltrate right before attacking is worse than using it to run from everything?

#

I'm confused

vernal trench
#

yea cuz at that point bring shout

#

better stagger and gives u golden toughness

terse idol
#

Aren't you using it for the stagger

#

And the toughness refill

#

I'm confused

vernal trench
halcyon blaze
# terse idol I'm confused

Exit infiltrate suppresses nearby enemies, but also activates other combat ability bonuses that would normally activate on Ult activation, instead it applies at the end of infiltrate.

vernal trench
#

infiltrate stagger is pretty much a side effect with how u can use it msot of the time

#

its a weak stagger

tall torrent
#

It’s a pretty strong stagger

vernal trench
#

compare it to shout na

tall torrent
#

Not as strong as VoC

#

But can interrupt rager and mauler

#

Which puts it higher than most weapons

vernal trench
#

yea thats why peopel who use infiltrate solely for stagger just makes me facepalm

hollow ibex
#

People do that? whatthefuck_heresy

vernal trench
#

ive seen 2 people on youtube do that now

hollow ibex
#

I honestly just treat it as a helpful side effect

vernal trench
#

atleast bring low profile if u use it in that shitty way

#

but they dont even bring low profile

vernal trench
#

its not enough to stagger anything for any long periods of time

#

reapers get stunned for a tiny bit and tahts it

tall torrent
#

Stagger is not stun

vernal trench
#

im not as technical as u lmao

#

u know what i meant

tall torrent
#

Yea, just bad terminology

vernal trench
#

yea

tall torrent
#

Stun is super specific in this game

vernal trench
tall torrent
#

It incapacitates enemies and roots them in place

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

I think EK staff’s charged attack is also stun?

narrow frost
#

its the same as smite

#

so yes

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

If enemy slightly stumbles or falls over

Stagger

If enemy is stuck in place and unable to move

Stun

tall torrent
#

It’s there as lag compensation but allows u to do some funny things

#

Mainly useful for shroudfield

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

U can get 2 crits out

past oriole
#

@tall torrent do you have any infil builds you would recommend? its the only ability i havent used once yet as vet

past oriole
vernal trench
#

forgot smite existed

tall torrent
#

Infil’s point cost is annoying to me

grim widget
#

im whipped boys

tall torrent
#

And it being longer CD also is annoying

hollow ibex
#

1 flex point

vernal trench
tall torrent
vernal trench
#

it does different things but with how much u can enter shroud in and out

tall torrent
#

Not as good as shroudfield for solo

vernal trench
#

cuz shroudfield ur invis the whole game lfmao

hollow ibex
#

Used for twinned blast atm

#

And you can take low profile

past oriole
tall torrent
#

But I think infil’s main problem is CD / point cost

vernal trench
#

yea

#

the cd is so absurd

tall torrent
#

It’s just flat 2 extra points vs VoC

#

And I don’t want to pay that point tax

vernal trench
#

2 charges and its like 50+ seconds

tall torrent
#

I don’t think double charge is worth it

vernal trench
#

its really good for a lot of situations

hollow ibex
vernal trench
#

especially clutching and going back after staying out in frontlines for a long while

hollow ibex
#

Found it to be insufferable with double charge

vernal trench
#

u can stay safely outside in the ambush area in dark communion while ur team is in the corner

#

lets u kill all the gunners and the double charge is for u to get back when need to

tall torrent
#

Infil’s point tax issue means u have to run guns with lower point cost (since you’re almost 100% gonna spec melee anyway)

vernal trench
#

the cd isnt that much longer than one charge also

tall torrent
#

And 45s base CD doesn’t feel good for veteran

vernal trench
#

it sucks ass

tall torrent
#

59.85s

vernal trench
#

its not that much longer once u actually use the 8s duration

#

it only sucks the worst when ur on last charge and u gotta just run the whole game to rescue

tall torrent
#

If infil was 35s CD and double charge was 45s I think I’d like it a bit more

#

Point tax still annoying tho

vernal trench
#

itll be so much more op

tall torrent
#

That’s the main dealbreaker for me

vernal trench
#

yea i go survivalist and then shredder

tall torrent
vernal trench
#

it wiggles around like an S

vernal trench
tall torrent
#

Point tax is still dealbreaker

past oriole
#

would chainaxe work with infil

tall torrent
#

2-3 extra cost

past oriole
#

its one of the only weapons i havent tried yet

vernal trench
#

point tax for infiltrate especially for havocs is crazy

#

i run powersword so going down weapon specialist means im missing a lot of stuff noramlly u would have

broken spade
#

yeah infiltrate pathing is cringe

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

Veteran’s problem is talent tree hard funnelling you into VoC even if u don’t want to play VoC

past oriole
past oriole
hollow ibex
vernal trench
#

tbh how often do u actually see someone thats not running voc

#

i onyl play havocs and every single veteran i see runs shout

tall torrent
#

And infiltrate is not as good as VoC tbh
Even if VoC didn’t give gold toughness

past oriole
tall torrent
#

If Infil was 35s CD then it’s like, roughly equal to base VoC in strength

vernal trench
broken spade
tall torrent
vernal trench
#

but ur survivability is pretty high compared ot shout if u need to clutchhard

vernal trench
#

but theres a lot of stuff u cant do as well with shout that u can with infiltrate

hollow ibex
#

Honestly the cd of infiltrate and VOC should be swapped KEKW_ogryn

vernal trench
#

lmfao id like that

tall torrent
vernal trench
#

depends on what u mean by strong tho

broken spade
#

paying extra talent tax for a generally inferior ability just stings

hearty panther
#

VoC was 45s originally and was already crazy strong. And then they made it 30s for reasons.

vernal trench
#

hard carrying infiltrate is infintiely better

#

direct team support infiltrate doesnt do mch with that

hollow ibex
vernal trench
#

direct as in stagger or golden toughnes

#

objectives with infiltrate is also practically free

broken spade
tall torrent
vernal trench
#

u can have ur whole team hunker down in a corner on clandestine and have infiltrate do every objective

past oriole
#

wtf does low profile do

#

will enemies just ignore me after stealth or something

vernal trench
hollow ibex
vernal trench
#

only time ud wnat is if u dont wanna use low profile

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

Golden toughness at home

vernal trench
#

but u would wanna use low profile unless ur doing duos

tall torrent
#

Surprise attack needs a buff

vernal trench
#

cuz u cant afford to dump everything on ur duo with low profile

tall torrent
#

Infil’s base CD needs a buff

hollow ibex
#

I'm also expecting to clutch so it's a good node

vernal trench
hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

Even for duo it’s still the better choice

vernal trench
#

i took it off for my duo build

tall torrent
#

If u had to take a subnode

vernal trench
#

cuz 18 seconds of leaving my duo entirely alone is too dangerous

tall torrent
#

I fundamentally don’t believe in the whole “aggro dumping” argument

vernal trench
#

na me neither

#

not unless ur using it wrong

orchid hemlock
#

Aggro dump.....

DEEZ NUTTS

vernal trench
#

a lot of the times i go invis is if i stayed there i wouldve died or everyone was already going to die

tall torrent
#

Having a teammate aggro dump just means u get to kill more stuff

vernal trench
#

or high ping and i cant afford to risk itKEKW_ogryn

vernal trench
#

that can be fatal

tall torrent
#

The only time it could be detrimental would be trapper redirecting target

tall torrent
broken spade
#

i still hate low profile
how am i gonna get my reciprocity stacks with no aggro?

vernal trench
#

and the boss

tall torrent
#

And chaos spawn is the only semi threatening monster in havoc purely for its ADHD

vernal trench
#

when ur solo thats prolly the worst one tbh

#

cuz they catch up so quick if ur kiting

tall torrent
#

And u can’t burst it down like base game as easily cuz x1.7 monster health

vernal trench
#

and u gotta regen stamina

#

gotta love havoc 40 healthpools lfmao

tall torrent
#

But frankly that’s still pretty niche situation

vernal trench
#

na ive had many times my friend died to stuff cuz i stayed invis too long

#

or i kept going into it cuz stuff like pox gas breaking my toughness constantly
