#

veteran is 50:50 melee/ranged
zealot is 80:20 melee/ranged
psyker is 20:80 melee/ranged
ogryn is 90:10 melee/ranged

#

depending on ur build u could make a mainly ranged playstyle work for veteran

hollow ibex
#

i usually end up playing zealot 99:1 melee/ranged (1 being when i flick out a tknife)

tall torrent
#

but it's not as good as psyker

#

small question: why is dumdum regarded better than headhunter for the recon lasguns?

tall torrent
orchid hemlock
void dragon
tall torrent
void dragon
#

another reason to hate on marksman focus

narrow frost
#

Nothing is a must in darktide

calm shard
#

what does this even have to do with that keystone

orchid hemlock
#

I mean reci is one of the best nodes in the tree sure, but we are just saying that on recon it is extremly valuable

void dragon
# calm shard ?

i ran out of points reaching there, one short to get reciprocity

#

can make some changes to get it tho so its moke of a jest of my part

orchid hemlock
#

I wouldn't take MF on recon, it has very bad finesse modifiers, so the keystone wont provide much benefit to it

#

unless u are trying to do the penance?

void dragon
orchid hemlock
#

take this node:

#

crouch into a horde and start swinging

void dragon
#

Why do I feel this is a bad joke while believing the "is actually much easier"?

calm shard
#

it's not

void dragon
#

do we need more evidence that Keystone is GARBO?

calm shard
#

MF penance is really either you like the keystone and just use it for an extended period of time

#

Or you don't, and you cheese it

orchid hemlock
calm shard
#

it's a good keystone on a few weapons, but the penance does not lend itself to the way the keystone is best used

void dragon
#

it litteraly gives nothing for melee and yet here i am being suggested to go melee for it

orchid hemlock
#

MF has very good finesse modifiers than can turn some guns into monsters, the problem with it isn't the stats it gives, it's how awkward it is to get those buffs in the first place

#

standing still in this game is a death wish

calm shard
#

At least it stacks quickly just by killing ranged trash

void dragon
calm shard
#

And all of the weapons that are good at using it don't need it to be at max stacks to get value

orchid hemlock
tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

realistically MF works best on fast-firing guns tho

tall torrent
#

pretty much anything with big dW, dC and dCW numbers

calm shard
void dragon
#

I have managed to stack ok with the recon lasguns because how steady they are, that keystone feels made for assault rifles

tall torrent
#

henceforth

#

plasma can technically be considered a "finesse weapon"

#

given it gets like 300 extra dmg on headshot

tame lodge
#

You will not tempt me with high cleave proccing it

tall torrent
#

but on a serious note, u don't take MF for plasma

calm shard
#

not worth the ammo to have to ramp it up all the damn time

#

and using camouflage is annoying

tall torrent
#

it doesn't matter for breakpoints almost ever

#

for doing the penance u just go crouch walk with a rashad, camping in mercantile kitchen for 30 mins

void dragon
#

Oddly I managed to use camouflage to get a shooting spot and firing to consistently stay on 10 stack (since on headshot kill I can move a fair bit)

calm shard
#

I ended up getting it naturally using a Helbore since I like the playstyle of the keystone and have good aim

void dragon
#

I'm a bad sniper, so I don't work well with Helbore, but I really feel MF is made for rapid fire guns

#

Not torrent ones tho

trim badger
#

I tried using both combat blade mk3 and mk6

#

Is there an actual reason to use MK6?

calm shard
#

MK6 has a better push attack, better lights, and better heavies

#

so it's just better

trim badger
#

better heavies? but 2/3 of them deal less damage

calm shard
#

not enough to affect breakpoints

#

and you can always use the punch to get to the one that does the same damage

trim badger
#

hm....

#

I see

hollow ibex
void dragon
#

What advantages does the infantry lasguns have in contrast to its Autogun equivalents?

calm shard
#

damn near infinite ammo, and reverse damage falloff

#

they do MORE damage over distance, not less

#

also different blessings

hollow ibex
#

main thing is ghost (blessing) and ammo econ

#

and potentially better recoil ig, though it depends

#

the reverse damage falloff kinda sucks tbh

#

since a lot of engagements in this game are close range

calm shard
#

it's a hell of a lot better than them losing damage over range

#

they do good damage at close range

#

and do even better at long range

void dragon
#

Probably one of the reasons why reciprocity is so good, you will always have something swinging at you in melee

tall torrent
#

higher single target dps, better cleave, same breakpoints

tall torrent
calm shard
#

yeah I know

#

wait what

#

fucking fatshark

#

reusing the heavy animation just to make it not the same attack and it does less damage

#

why

tall torrent
#

y'all gotta check what u say before u say

calm shard
#

should be illegal for 2 attacks to look the same and have different damage >:(

hollow ibex
#

and even then, it's not bad

#

because engagement ranges in the game are close

void dragon
#

I like it too, but I find myself landing more bodyshots due its odd recoil (I can land headshots but I find myself more focused on other stuff so I default to just making sure the shots land instead of seeking headshots)

depends on how hard havocs is

its probably not gonna be much harder

I tried obscures and I didn’t like it

Didnt know folks were sweating in heresy over vet mag dumps.

valid apex
#

what's the meta like now?

#

for vets?

pseudo fiber
#

Pretty broad honestly

#

Plasma, bolt pistol, recon, revolver (though revolver falls off at high havoc) for ranged

Rashad, power sword, dueling sword, shovel (more competitive than meta though) for melee

I'm sure someone will bring up tac axe

Hmmm

I should dump stability on my Krourk Twin linked

The only exeption is recon laz for me; unironically that 20% extra colla makes a difference in havoc due to high hp pools (can stagger bomber before he throws which can be signifficant)

also ILAS and knife are both hungry in talent costs, not an ideal combo

When u do take melee hits

You’re technically being hit & disabled

Deadshot’s per shot drain being reduced is good but not enough to make it less niche

#

Still far too much investment

surreal gust
#

It’s still deadshot

pseudo fiber
#

It's still 0.75 stam a second owie zowie

tall torrent
#

I think the biggest difference

#

Is CaB being an A+ talent that’s second wind adjacent (but still worse)

#

And killzone going from a B tier pick to a B+ pick

faint beacon
#

What Dorn sent me

pseudo fiber
#

it's 0.75 per second with 0.25 per shot right now

#

so it's going to 0.75 per second with 0.1 per shot

tall torrent
#

Per shot being reduced is good
But it’s still gonna burn stamina madly fast

that's some pretty significant glow ups

# tame lodge Skullcrusher is more damage to staggered enemies

hmmm... I just wonder if having a chance to accidentally drop Decimator is worth using it to kill hordes in potentially less hits (assuming I get at least 5+ Decimator stacks), or if Skullcrusher is the better option simply because hordes stagger easily...

#

its sort of the same kind of reason why I am still unsure of whether Headtaker or Deci is better on Rashad Caxe...

Deci can scale up higher, but Headtaker for example has more consistency and reliability...

yup

just don't get hit

Well now I'm defenitely 100% using it

for havoc

pseudo fiber

It is don't get hit Cole clarified the targeting thing is fatshark being funny

trim badger
#

oh so being shot stops it as well?

charred pulsar

So roughly 8 hours until update, right?

trim badger

13 actually

They're probably releasing it the moment Havoc is re-enabled

Get ready to learn ogryn buddy

trim badger
#

no problemo I'll just throw 3 grenades and snipe them cultists

tall torrent
# trim badger aim better (?

How do u plan to aim better vs bulwark/crusher line blocking the purple captain that’s healing the entire horde

#

Yes purple captain

trim badger
#

gawd damn it

#

we suffer that's how

#

either that or the magical zealot with full crit build and DS killing the crusher faster than they can regen

tall torrent
#

Nah lol

#

Get ready to learn ogryn buddy

trim badger
#

but he can do more than that awa

#

well damn

#

we'll have to readapt, I suppose

#

I wonder if they did zealot changes btw

tall torrent
#

But mainly

#

Just go play the other 3 classes lmao

trim badger
#

where can I see them changes

tall torrent
#

If u don’t want to power sword 24/7

#

Cuz I’m pretty sure vet is just power sword 24/7 after update

trim badger
tall torrent
#

No point running anything else for havoc

trim badger
#

Knife vet dead?

tall torrent
trim badger
#

did they do something to PS???

tall torrent
#

Power sword kills every enemy better than DS does

#

Even rn

trim badger
#

I'm really out of the loop

tall torrent
#

The only enemy power sword does worse are those that throw guardbreaks casually

#

Power sword kills crushers and bulwarks faster than DS does

#

Has way better mixed horde clear

#

Has way better group stagger vs ragers and maulers

#

Can cleave carapace

trim badger
tall torrent
#

More DR, less gold toughness

#

I think

trim badger
#

I wonder where all of this is being posted

tall torrent
#

in vid descriptions

trim badger
#

I'll try to find them

#

oh just as I expected

#

from 20 to 15 per pulse

#

yeah I saw that one coming

sharp epoch
#

if you're out of position or your stamina is zero you get cooked by melee elites

tall torrent
sharp epoch
#

Current meta is kinda reliant on just using other classes to deal with horde like purg psykers at least for h40s

tall torrent
#

yea, that's pretty bad design

#

with that said, power sword still goes through mixed horde, carapace and bulwarks better than DS does

#

even assuming inferno is cooking everything up

sharp epoch
#

Yeah the only downsides I have right now with it are fighting ragers especially since any of their hits will make you lose charge and also when you get hit by the moves that drain all your stam and you just spiral from there

tall torrent
#

yea and that's getting changed tomorrow lol

#

I still think vet will just be a top 4 class

sharp epoch
#

oops wrong reply

#

@tall torrent whats your opinion on bm vs sunder

tall torrent
sharp epoch
#

ive always used bm

tall torrent
#

it depends on what ur actually looking for

#

if u want to kill horde almost as good as rashad

#

BM

#

if u want "karsolas lite" lite

#

sunder

sharp epoch
#

Karsolas lite would be just killing everythign?

tall torrent
#

karsolas lite is relic blade

#

power sword with sunder is actually better at staggering ragers than relic blade itself

#

relic blade needs energized heavy atk to stagger rager, and needs to stack wrath to be able to stagger as many as power sword

#

whereas power sword can stagger with energized light atk

#

and can cleave carapace (can stagger multiple maulers too)

#

but relic blade has better cleave dmg distribution so against what it can cleave through, it'll kill groups of them faster

sharp epoch
#

Oh I see the difference, it loses a lot of damage versus multiple targets

tall torrent
#

power sword can kill ogryns faster than relic blade with Push ATK combo

#

however veteran has the worst stamina management of all classes

#

power sword's Push ATK combo is actually

#

just enough dmg

#

to 3 hit both crusher and bulwark

#

at max h40 scaling

#

assuming no extra enemy DR stuff going on

sharp epoch
tall torrent
#

5400 health carapace

#

3 hit is more than good lol

sharp epoch
#

sunder it seems is better with the ps 3

tall torrent
#

DS takes 3~4 usually

sharp epoch
#

cause it gives boost to heavy attacks

tall torrent
#

assuming no crits

#

not necessarily

#

because first off, mk3 is just worse than mk6

#

no contest

#

secondly the heavy atk dmg bonus does achieve like 1 breakpoint for mk6

#

energized heavy atk 1 tap mutant

#

the main use case of sunder is still cleaving through carapace and massive +clv

marsh shard
#

Or

#

Use uncanny weapon

#

And spam frags

#

The real vet keystone is grenadier

#

Go ham on all the nade nodes and spam them nades

sharp epoch
#

twinned blast and field improv o boy

tall torrent
#

field improv is usually not worth

#

nade investment only needs like 3 key talents

marsh shard
#

Ye, outdps everyone by tossing a constant stream of uncanny strike buffed nades

tall torrent
#

not sure abt outdps lol

sharp epoch
#

psykers can definitely out dps frag vet

tall torrent
#

psyker and ogryn both have much higher dps

marsh shard
#

Solve the vet stam problem by picking up the -.25sec stam nodes

#

Slide around spamming nades

#

I think its like 2 uncanny nades to kill a crusher

#

So twinned blast turns into 20% chance to 1hko a pack of crushers

tall torrent
marsh shard
#

3?

#

Must have gotten auric bps mixed up with h40

tall torrent
#

still not enough

marsh shard
#

How many with max uncanny stacks?

tall torrent
#

max bleed stacks with 1 ADM is ~half of crusher's health (base game, damnation)

marsh shard
#

Trying to remember the bp with Dueling Sword

#

Like, 2 nades + how many heavies?

#

Assuming +25% damage and radius

#

On nades

tall torrent
#

or 3 if no pre-built uncanny stacks

#

because u'd prob kill the crusher before bleed does its full dmg

#

uncanny itself is too strong and needs to be nerfed

#

at most up to 20%

marsh shard
#

Agree

#

Basically you just rock ds4, build up uncanny stacks, spam nades, slide + dodge + sprint around, have -.5 stam delay

#

Thats how I run vet atleast

narrow frost
#

I see a major problem there

#

ds4.....

#

🤮

marsh shard
#

Yeah, the mobility needs nerfed

narrow frost
#

not just that

#

the dodges, the mobility, the damage, the speed, the special

#

everything needs to be addressed

marsh shard
#

The damage is an issue, sure

#

But the mobility is broken

narrow frost
#

the dps more so

marsh shard
#

Vet with psyker stam delay is the nuts

#

The thing is, ds4 without damage is a combat knife that trades damage for uncanny synergy with nades.

DS4 without mobility is prob still competitive with power sword

#

Both sides of the spectrum need toned down for sure

tall torrent
#

worse in every dps metric with worse cleave, worse group stagger, worse horde clear

marsh shard
#

Fair, I'm using too much hyperbole.

But yeah, the knife mobility is dumb

#

Its too much mobility, the mobility is a huge reason why its such a safe weapon

#

And if weapon is safe, over time it can deal with any situation

#

I rate crusher and ds incredibly high due to their safety.

I value safety over damage. Safety + Damage tho is broken

arctic rampart
#

Just use the tactical axe, the most amazing weapon ever created

tame lodge
#

You know what

#

I'll disagree another day

#

Have fun with it

iron marten
#

Lmao

faint beacon
tall torrent
#

tac axe is very close to being good

#

it just needs more unyielding & carapace dps

#

and prob slightly higher generalist dmg? it's pretty hard to reach core BM breakpoints without big investment

marsh shard
#

One could argue its too close to being too good

#

Tac axes is walking a very thin line imo between "meh" and "holy shit"

Are there any nodes that help vet with overwhelming situations I mean if you don't have a choice like you are stuck with ragers?

narrow frost
#

Ability in the center

#

Frag nades

#

Actually all ability help, center most so

earnest bone
#

frag grenade for cc

#

or to kill them if throw 2 + have the 25% node

midnight wyvern
#

Just have a bolter, never an issue with ragers

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah I don't mean standard things like
shout stealth or weapon

#

More like you have to take many hits blocking

#

Is there a thing to help with that I've heard block efficiency is shit

narrow frost
#

Maintaing/having more stam will help with a little bit of blocking. But most of the time it's not worth blocking

umbral scaffold
#

Ok

narrow frost
#

Blocking at 0 stam will stun you which often leads to death

#

So only block light attacks while having decent stam left

stiff glacier
#

man is watching ideas for builds in darklantern completely muddled with havoc. All i see is some variation of dueling swords depressed

narrow frost
#

So I'd wait to see if it gets changed to pick it

#

But rn. It's not really worth it

umbral scaffold
#

Ok ty

#

I think my main problem is that I've played Zealot alot and tend to rush in

narrow frost
#

You can still do that on vet, but it's going to play out differently because of the baselines differences with the classes

#

Vet struggles with stamina

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah I have Stam curio are there usufull keystones or nodes for stamina ? I did use duck and dive but they said that stamina keystones are not so good

#

Ok I will try it's my kind of playstyle to move a lot

narrow frost
#

If I want to full dive in the speed melee I take both stam regen nodes, 1 plus 3 stam with all 3 curios having stam regen

#

If I remember correctly the stam regen nodes in the talent tree also reduce the recovery start timer for stamina

#

So stam comes back sooner and faster

#

The nodes I was talking about

umbral scaffold
#

Ok that's reachable for me

#

So it's better to go full with something rather then finding middle point

#

And with full speed what def nodes you have to take that is enough?

unreal nova
narrow frost
#

I run this alot

#

Duck and dive can be switched to the damage on ult for better boss dps

umbral scaffold
#

Funny thing is that when I have enough speed I mostly not get hit and it's ok but somehow I think should have more def and end up slowing my self down

But skirmisher right now is probably the worst talent in the vet tree

(the right side above weapon specialist keystone)

You'll want the 2 circled ones which will help your melee weapon

id love to use skirmisher but man is it horrible to keep active

if it was like that one zealot keystone and you could get stacks from dodges

The 3rd gunner resistance doesn't actually give you 20% more gunner res. All 3 add up to 55% gunner res, if you feel like you take too much damage against a certain special (sniper/flamer) feel free to change 1 of the gunner res to the special res

1000 hour noob here, any idea what the deal with rashad caxe vs achyles finess or is the goofy attack pattern the only downside?

narrow frost
#

Check the pinned guide made by path if it's not there just @ him

#

To my knowledge it's the attack pattern and something else that makes it so much worse

grand perch

The attack pattern is karking painful is what it is

People use the Achyles? Sitgryn

umbral scaffold
#

Does Bolter still work with speedy melee or better to just go bistol?

#

I love bolter but It slows you down to much I think

narrow frost
#

Bolter has a long reload and pull out speed that can't be changed outside of using exstance

#

Bolt pistol is more fitting

#

For a quick swap for a special

unreal nova
#

Bonus, lethal prox.

I still think you want the bolter for weapons like Heavy sword that don't deal with armour well. If we're talking optimal

6-7 shots min is really bad.
