maybe I can just take tactical reload on infantry lasgun, the reload can be a lil bit annoying at times lmao

tall torrent
#

mk2 relic blade is 10% higher dps by being 500% the complexity

#

so yea mk10 is better

narrow frost
#

exactly

bold sierra
#

u mean the orange one?

narrow frost
#

but funny uppercut

tall torrent
#

that uppercut would have been good

#

if it had weakspot priority

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

which it does not have

#

take red nodes

#

u are far likelier to hit new breakpoints with those that work on demand compared to some niche 0.005% scenario that only OCD is making you try to get

bold sierra

las gun moment

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

and you shoot like twice as fast

#

so you don't give a shit about breakpoints

#

for havoc

tall torrent
#

it's like you're trying to optimize for breakpoints
in a mode famously anti-breakpoints
while not understanding whatsoever what actually matters for optimizing for breakpoints

hollow ibex
#

don't worry, longshot's got him

bold sierra
tame lodge
#

We love to see it

tall torrent
#

whatever math you're thinking is not working the way you hope it works

bold sierra
#

i just hip fire and dodge

tame lodge
#

If you want to horde clear with a gun

#

Helbore hotshot 1

bold sierra
#

it's not my sole purpose for it xD

#

but it's there if needed

#

tis all

tame lodge
#

You just gotta hit heads that are frantically moving as they sprint towards you

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

I do

tall torrent
#

then why are u trying to build horde clear breakpoint on gun

bold sierra
#

I do use it, in tandem with everything

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

you're doing completely nonsensical things

bold sierra
#

I mean hey, I'm just gonna say that you guys have very valid points, and I'm not complete off-table on changing things up with my build

#

but does it make that big of a difference? Even if it's somewhat less effective? I got the important components in there anyway

hollow ibex
#

you're taking iron will now right?

bold sierra
#

VoC, ammo aura

bold sierra
#

DUH

#

that's a whole other level of silly if you don't when playing VoC

hollow ibex
#

well you should be taking it even without voc tbh

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

if vet ever gets the orgyn treatment, iron will will definitely be one of the talents at the very top center of the tree

#

(i.e., mandatory)

bold sierra
#

but if I can survive even without it for the most parts, taking the least dmg still and making do without, idk if it's ENTIRELY necessary

hollow ibex
#

it can make a huge difference, especially if you're a good player

#

if you're getting hit all the time, you're fucked anyway KEKW_ogryn

#

and iron will won't help you

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

there are very few talents remotely as good

hollow ibex
#

because you're purposely gimping your build

#

if there's a level 30 vet build, i expect to see iron will on it

tall torrent
#

choosing longshot over iron will is a special kind of mental gymnastics that I cannot comprehend

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

you should take iron will even on the ES build

bold sierra
#

okay fiiiine

#

I'll just put away field improv and go for iron will

hollow ibex
#

the only reasons to not take iron will are (a) if you're not level 30 or (b) you get hit all the time and die anyway

sharp epoch
#

i dont take iron will cause im a god

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

you're a god at the game

#

shrimply don't get hit

signal cypress
#

Possibility (d)eez nuts

sharp epoch
#

just max damage talents who gets hit

bold sierra
#

that's the idea

bold sierra
# tall torrent why would u not take iron will

to elaborate, I do take Iron Will with VoC builds, cuz over-toughness, and since Executioner stance doesnt really do that, I just think it's not as great with. Obviously damage reduction is always good so it's not entirely out of the question.

hollow ibex
#

honestly iron will's mostly for saving your ass if you take a hit every once in a while, though obviously synergizes very well with golden toughness (which there's plenty of in havoc)

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

well it's obviously reducing the amount you get fucked by the groaner

#

and most of the time

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

you will take one hit and then get away/protect yourself

#

so it's a pretty meaningful difference

#

if you're getting hit multiple times by a groaner

#

iron will is considerably less useful

#

and something has gone horribly wrong anyway

#

iron will's good at protecting you from one-off random hits that you weren't able to account for

bold sierra
#

groaner gets me to like 1toughness remaining here from 1 hit without iron will

#

while yes with iron will, I still got 36 toughness, but that's still paper armor considering H40 xD

hollow ibex
#

i mean do you ever only get hit by groaners?

#

you can run through every scenario if you want, but there's a reason why most consider iron will an essential/mandatory talent on the vet tree

bold sierra
#

I suppose it does help tank shotgunners a bit better

#

or maybe a volley from scab shooter or so

#

but I suppose my bolter basically one-shots + stun them all in an AoE (bolt explosion) anyway usually, without letting them even get a chance to shoot, so yeah, but I suppose it does have its occasional value

sharp epoch
#

@quiet valley hey mmf works pretty well with laspistol build

#

cause finesse influences the crit damage

quiet valley
#

Its good dmg scaling, you need to swap Deadshot to Reciprocity and DumDum to Desperado, since MMF stam regen is worse than Focus Target

#

Its good I just like Deadshot/FT because of how consistent the dmg is in Havoc

bold sierra
#

I should try MMF for my inf lasgun build again

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

sad that I lose field improv tho

tall torrent
#

Field improv not worth

#

Decent but not worth

quiet valley
#

Field improv is bad talent tbh

bold sierra
#

I mean, I don't need it

quiet valley
#

Not worth a point, the 60s node is way better value

bold sierra
#

but it does come in clutch whenever u cant reach a ritual in time and gotta fight, and just give +2 grenades to zealot or ogryn xD

#

sometimes

trim steppe
#

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

bold sierra
#

it is pretty nice to have tho, I especially love it when vets bring it when I'm playing ogryn or zealot xD

torpid grotto
#

Corruption cleanse can have insane value

bold sierra
#

yeah especially when I bring the 15%TDR aura on zealot

quiet valley
#

Vet tree is so tight on good nodes that an "ok" node is not worth taking

bold sierra
#

i'm not gonna die on field improv's hill haha

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

just saying it's nice

tall torrent
#

Rn, not nearly as much

bold sierra
#

you honestly dont need ANY corruption heal aura or perk node

#

right now

austere mica
#

Field improv is a luxury you take when you have a spare point and nothing good to grab

bold sierra
#

that depends on your team tho

tall torrent
quiet valley
#

Based Skirmisher

bold sierra
#

gonna give this a try later

quiet valley
#

No killzone 💀

bold sierra
#

yeah

#

no killzone

#

cant afford

#

and I want my supression resist

quiet valley
#

You have no support for Deadshot why are you taking it

quiet valley
#

Stam regen from MMF or FT

bold sierra
#

dunno how that's gonna work out

#

but I'm gonna try

quiet valley
#

alrighty then

bold sierra
#

plus, I tried Target down yesterday, the stamina regen from it is nice but you burn through it so fast anyway xD

tall torrent
#

The dumbest way to regen stamina on veteran

#

Unironically

#

U don’t have duck and dive

quiet valley
#

it can never go under 1 stack of FT thats 5% toughness/stam for your whole team per mark

tall torrent
#

U have to actually get below 50% stamina, get hit, get your toughness obliterated, to get stamina back

#

Ghost doesn’t participate in that whatsoever

quiet valley
#

I outpace deadshot stam decay on Recon las with FT

#

XIV ofc

#

Infantry should be easy to manage

torpid grotto
tall torrent
quiet valley
#

L haha

tall torrent
#

What’s even doing all that corruption

#

You have to eat unnecessary melee hits to accumulate corruption beyond normal

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

It only works when you go below 50% stamina

#

And it only gives you stamina for taking damage

#

Avoiding damage (like with ghost) = no stamina

narrow frost
#

hp or tough?

tall torrent
narrow frost
#

k

tall torrent
#

Not sure about corruption

bold sierra
#

you learn sth new every day

#

veteran isnt exactly my main xD

#

maybe I'll take Tunnel Vision

#

could maybe work for stam regen

tall torrent
#

Just drop deadshot lol

#

It’s not worth that much investment

quiet valley
#

^

#

maybe take Killzone? lol

torpid grotto
tall torrent
#

Killzone also mid

#

Code be wack

quiet valley
#

Its uptime is good

tall torrent
#

If they didn’t copy paste code straight from Ogryn’s payback time it’ll be ok

bold sierra
#

just tryna go ScabsAteMyLegs's footsteps here xD

bold sierra
#

so far.

quiet valley
#

It cleans up your breakpoints and is extra dmg against bosses, the Inf Las also has inverse dmg drop off too iirc

bold sierra
#

yes I have that taken into account, the inverse dmg drop off

#

extra boss dmg is nice ig

quiet valley
#

Breakpoints on Havoc are messy anyway with buffs up and down for you and enemies

bold sierra
#

yes I'm aware, I am testing in a H40 sandbox

tall torrent
#

There’s like a total of 2 veteran weapons actually worth breakpoint building to some extent in havoc

#

Both need red nodes for breakpoints

bold sierra
#

shame they need ability activation, i'm not too big of a fan of inconsistency, at least the middle red node buffs allies too

tall torrent
#

As opposed to “oops I accidentally blocked a rager attack now my killzone is gone”

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

Or “man I hope that enemy is at least 27.82m away so longshot can actually do enough damage to change smth”

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

at least red nodes have pretty good uptime on voc/ES

#

well, red nodes except for FTE

bold sierra
#

I once had a vet in H40, he was like Havoc rank 35 or sth and he basically used VoC like...idk, 20-25 times or sth the entirety 40 mins match or something

#

maybe more, but it was NOT a lot

#

it was pretty rough for everyone lmao

hollow ibex
#

was he using revive shout KEKW_ogryn

bold sierra
#

NO

#

he was saving it for himself

#

basically

#

"teammates losing all toughness? NAH, im saving it for myself"

#

so tbh, I'd rather use VoC as a mean to support team with healing rather than for my own dps opportunities, tho they can line up no doubt

tall torrent
narrow frost
#

it confused a friend of mine

#

and I have no clue what it is

hollow ibex
#

old outdated shit

narrow frost
#

I figured

#

but what were they calculating

#

"list damage"?

hollow ibex
#

i think that was back when charge rate

#

affected actual damage lol

#

something super cursed like that

tall torrent
#

and 71% was sweet spot for maximizing dmg so u don't lose breakpoints

#

because plasma is very stingy on breakpoints

#

now, u still want that but only for minmax purposes

narrow frost
#

I see

#

Thanks

Watching a veteran use a shredder autopistol as his only weapon.

I haven't seen him use any melee at all.

Zealot shooting a bolter at a burster when he is free to just shove.

Feels like the Ogryn on the team is the only one actually playing, and I'm just dead.

steep grail
#

is it toxic to say if you have voc you really should never get hit by bursters

#

just had a voc vet get downed by like 3 in a single game

native ocean
#

unless it's a difficult havoc mission I'd err on the side of not saying anything

#

or at least be courteous

steep grail
#

i wasn't toxic

#

i don't speak in pubs

native ocean

👍

#

I think I've only spoken up about someone else's atrocious play only once so far, it was a psyker that never, ever switched off assail and got downed like 20 times throughout the mission

steep grail
#

i used to talk shit a lot but ive realized it isnt worth it and also tilting your teammates isnt gonna help them improve

Would a Hellbore Lasgun + Shovel combo be a bad idea in high difficulty games? Even though I’m pretty sure as long as shredder nades are my primary weapon not much else matters.

tame lodge
#

That's a classic combo

#

💀

unreal nova
steep grail
#

maybe in h40

#

but you can definitely make that work in auric mael

tame lodge
#

Nah you can make it work on h40

steep grail
#

helbore's essentially just a plasma gun if it was slower to swap to

tame lodge
#

Literally Helbore Hotshot with shovel is used on havoc

#

Because Hotshot applies to melee

#

Shits goofy

pseudo fiber
#

But you gotta use hotshot 1

faint beacon
#

Hitmass being the one thing that really makes Havoc feel like a slog

calm shard
#

also is it bad that I kind of like weapons having blessings that can apply to your other weapons

spark cipher
#

I do feel like I'm missing something with shovel, or maybe I just like the ogryn shovel way more

quiet valley
#

It could be that Ogryn is just a much stronger class atm

#

Vet Shovel is good tho

hollow ibex
spark cipher
quiet valley
#

Both have similar roles, Shovel is better in Havoc b/c it can apply Skullcrusher for your team

hollow ibex
#

wouldn't use either in havoc because i need a crutch weapon KEKW_ogryn

quiet valley
#

smh

#

If you are full melee build you can kill armor with Uncanny on MK1

#

I think they are fine if you need to a pinch of extra armor dmg on your build

red robin
#

same issue with chain weapons

twilit torrent
#

As I never touched that weapon before - is there a way to vent with plasma gun without going into a full reload +animation? Saw people do that in videos but dont know how as reload/vent is usually the same button

tame lodge
#

Special button

twilit torrent
#

That works, thank you sir

tame lodge
#

If you're shooting uncharged shots

#

It'll auto vent at 100% heat

#

If you're charging shots, it'll detonate at 100 %

twilit torrent
#

I just noticed myself, that also explains a lot of what I have seen in a certain havoc gameplay video

hollow ibex
#

Don’t bother with charged shots

neon current
#

hmm, whats more consistent with exe bolter, crits or flat dmg

#

every time I pick reciprocity, it ends up being undewhelming

quiet valley
#

Use Deadshot and Surgical

#

Focus Target to regen stam

neon current
#

hell no

#

I aint using deadshot on havoc bolter

bold sierra
balmy flume
quiet valley
bold sierra
torpid grotto
quiet valley
bold sierra
#

it was basically the same 3-4 headshot kills on Crusher anyway so why not, even with brittle

#

for just a wee bit extra toughness regen lol

neon current
#

every time I go reciprocity, it ends up giving 10% crit at most

#

prolly better with knife, but I've played enough knife for a lifetime

quiet valley
#

Surgical Pinning Fire is my pick for H40, Flak/Unyielding

neon current
#

I only play havoc

bold sierra
#

so I always got Puncture

neon current
#

yep

#

puncture is just bis imo

#

it also helps your oggy and zealot out

bold sierra
#

Pinning fire is nice but whenever your stacks run out without any enemies around to stagger and u need to one-shot kill this dude but u can't is just annoying to me xD

neon current
#

you dont need pinning for breakpoints

#

and shattering sees a lot more value against bosses

bold sierra
#

yeah, I havented taken pinning for a while

quiet valley
#

pinning is for Armor waves

bold sierra
#

shattering imapct is always nice

quiet valley
#

Shattering doesnt really do anything on boss dmg

bold sierra
#

not on boss, but on crusher

neon current
#

I was just wondering how would reciprocity + surgical / cavalvade do high havoc

bold sierra
#

but I found I basically took the same 3 rounds to kill crusher in H40 with and without shattering impact

quiet valley
#

Reciprocity with Bolter is a bad pick

bold sierra
#

so I just opted for another blessing, hence Gloryhunter xD

#

honestly, I dont bother with crits on bolter on vet

neon current
bold sierra
#

for zealot yes, but vet, not necessary

neon current
#

ops

#

wrong one sorry

bold sierra
#

cavalcade is just hard-meme I think xD

neon current
#

yea, I usually want +100% finesse bonuses to consider investing in crits

bold sierra
quiet valley
#

^ Surgical Pinning

neon current
bold sierra
quiet valley
#

Why would you not go Deadshot/Surgical, it skyrockets your Crit for nearly no investment

bold sierra
neon current
#

because +60% finesse bonus on bolters are not good enough for me

bold sierra
#

deadshot is great but generally i dont like to have my stamina drained lol

quiet valley
neon current
#

I cant even outpace the drain in psykhonium

#

havoc would be a lot worse

quiet valley
#

With Target Down?

neon current
#

yea, maybe the talents havent updated yet

#

psykhonium things

quiet valley
#

I can outpace deadshot XIV Recon las with Focus Target lmao

bold sierra
quiet valley
#

they buffed the shit outta it

neon current
#

you don't really have time to build up stacks under pressure tho

#

so the stamina regen is null

quiet valley
bold sierra
neon current
#

#

I'd need a +3 stam curio

calm shard
neon current
#

too many hoops to jump thru to make crit work for me

calm shard
#

it has so much better boss damage than bleed

neon current
#

I'm a simple man

#

I ain't even running FT stamina

quiet valley
#

It’s 1 talent point and a blessing

calm shard
#

I'm just quickscoping

quiet valley
#

You are already taking Focus Target

oh yea, quickscoping helps a lot

there's guides in the pins

#

for vet the guide is called hammer of the emprah

#

bit old, but still relevant

#

Oh sweettt, are the info updated if there's like a patch on something or if something changed om a weapon then they change it in the information?

hollow ibex
#

there's a new version of the vet guide being worked on

#

so the one in the pins is a bit old

#

but it doesn't matter since vet/vet weapons have hardly seen any changes KEKW_ogryn

psyker stuff is a bit more scattered since the main guide is very old now

but there's builds, and for non-psyker specific weapons, you can look at the other class guides

I am taking infernus again on my ilas, been playing ghost but basing on scoreboard I'm dealing jack-all boss dmg without infernus :\

manic badger
#

Yo how's the recon lasgun on havoc 40s

#

does it hold up compared to plasma

hollow ibex
bold sierra
#

it is rng reliant with crits, but generally being able to kill a whole Beast of Nurgle with infernus ilas with almost half ammo pool remaining VS spending all ammo with Ghost ilas but only being able to get a Beast of Nurgle down to roughly 15-ish% HP. I think I'll just take Infernus and play a bit safer, help out with boss-killing more xD

#

left is infernus, right is ghost ofc

most people just like easy aim shooty with plasma ig :\

Thought about helbore but it's too fucking slow

wield time

hollow ibex
bold sierra
# manic badger wield time

personally I dont think it's too big of a deal, but yes it basicaly has the exact same wield time as bolter lol, and I dont even think bolter's is that bad

#

most of the times playing helbore, I use the green/blue one with armourbane, basically just mow down into horde, and their bayonet is actually quite respectable too

hollow ibex
#

well the wield time is effectively higher

#

because helbore requires charging

bold sierra
#

Whoops power outage

manic badger
#

I just wish they would speed it up or there was animation cancel tech which are both pipe dreams

#

It's incredibly ammo efficient but the wield time is so fucked for higher havocs

bold sierra
#

I meant to say I use hellbore a lot as both horde.clear and elite killing xD

lol

#

isn't it really good into flak/maniac or one or the other

quiet valley
#

Flak

manic badger
#

might try it because I was trying to just pure focus gunners for the team

quiet valley
#

Tbh the only guns I wouldn't use in H40 are the braced autos, inf autos, shotguns, and shredder AP.
The rest are viable imo

manic badger
#

this was from a match I just played with the recon and was just beaming specials and the gunners while the ogryn was spamming rumbler into bosses

#

bout to try the LasX

quiet valley
#

Can do H40 no ammo pickups

manic badger
#

Doesn't that pistol have a higher base crit rate as well or am I remembering wrong

yes

#

Guide says Plasma Gun should partially dump thermal and charge rate - I now rolled a 60% charge 80% everything else, is this usable as well?

sharp epoch
#

you basically want as much charge rate as possible while being able to hit 8 shots consecutively

#

which comes out to 70/70ish plus or minus 1

pseudo fiber
#

68 point something thermal and 71 charge so generally 69 thermal 71 charge

twilit torrent
#

I see, thanks guys
Probably will have to roll with 60 charge as I returned to the game and dont have infinite resources yet, plasteel/diamantite are easy to get but dockets burn so fast when you try to get the right roll

#

I heard current curio meta is usually 3x toughness or 2x and 3stam 1x
Perks for vet any different or also mainly gunner res and more toughness/stam regen? As broken as VoC is, I assume we could also go with 3x cd reduction

this doesnt stack with revive speed curios does it?

(I know its bad dont take it dont take it its bad)

no clue but I use the talent on my infil build anyways 😎 fuck the haters

crimson wyvern
#

ITS NOT DAMAGE ITS NOT DAMAGE WAHHH WAHHH 👶

#

so snipers with more snipers???

native ocean
#

I don't think vent purge increases sniper spawns on its own

#

that only happens in the sniper gauntlet ventilation purge modifier

balmy flume
#

I can see the benefits for standard/Auric though

#

(Even though I don't use it)

warm kettle
#

I personally use it as im the kind of person to SPRING onto downed players, though i dont know if the revive speed is actually THAT helpful

#

the movement speed thing sounds cool but I'm seldom so far away that it could even matter

balmy flume
#

I mean, I do to TBH, but I do end up relying on Shout (w/o revive), Frag Spam and Bolter Spam to clear the area a bit, then do the res

#

To compensate for the longer - well, original - res time.

Hello, do we have any build guide to reference?

#

i've checked pin already, the compendium is absolutely good but i'm confusing in skill tree to pick the good one

orchid hemlock
narrow juniper
#

so we should choose weapon first?

#

or they just fit with skilltree?

orchid hemlock
#

Path should have added some examples at the end of the guide, but it might have been removed idk

orchid hemlock
silk lance
narrow juniper
#

can you explain the playstyle of Commando's tree?

silk lance
#

Great loadout-agnostic skills that instantly spike your power.

narrow juniper
#

i dont thinkg i can be a leader lol

orchid hemlock
#

The what tree?

narrow juniper
#

The Commando one

silk lance
#

Is that a thing from before the skill tree rework?

orchid hemlock
#

What is the commando one?

silk lance
#

I faintly remember each class (maybe?) having three separate trees on release, but that was forever ago and I pretty much quit right after release date

#

Only came back a few months ago

narrow juniper
#

oh sorry, Weapons's specialist

orchid hemlock
narrow juniper
#

in the doc's sheet from Pin, i saw it was called as commando

silk lance
#

The purple keystone skill?

#

Like the purple ones at the bottom of the skill tree?

narrow juniper
orchid hemlock
#

Are you asking for a build and doesn't matter what the build is trying to do?

silk lance
#

Tbh weapons specialist is kinda peepeedoodoo imo

narrow juniper
#

i just see a player who played with smoke and control the Sniper behind the smoke

orchid hemlock
narrow juniper
#

that's all i can describe

silk lance
#

The veteran is already pretty strong. You don't really need a keystone if you'd rather have more passive perks

orchid hemlock
#

Vet is probably the weakest class atm, it really needs a rework for the keystones 💀

silk lance
#

That just sounds like a skill issue dawg 💀

narrow juniper
#

If these thing is hard to guide me, i think i want to pick: Power blade + Recon Lasgun as my main combo

silk lance
#

Recon Lasgun is definitely a popular meta pick.

orchid hemlock
narrow juniper
orchid hemlock
#

Vet's only strength in havoc is specialist killing

silk lance
#

Get the highest firerate mark and the Onslaught perk, and it can melt through pretty much anything if you got the ammo

#

And the hipfire is good so you can just hose down gunners and snipers from your hip

narrow juniper
#

It sounds nice!

orchid hemlock
#

Recon is an excellent specialist killer, not a crusher killer

narrow juniper
#

How about the tree? can you help me just 1 example to ref

silk lance
#

You can definitely hose down a crusher if it's out of your reach yet threatening a teammate who wandered too far ahead

This is not a havoc build btw

has anyone tested brittleness vs unyielding? how much is the damage increase?

orchid hemlock

#

i should max out level first

silk lance
narrow juniper
#

Yes, thank you all of you.
i will take a look ❤️

raw needle
#

also not taking ws when you're 1 point away from it in a dedicated melee build is kinda weird

hollow ibex
#

you could prob drop determined for reciprocity

orchid hemlock
#

this I dont understand

raw needle
orchid hemlock
#

also u dont take this for some reason

#

busted talent

#

it's like am mini WS stacked on top of the WS u already have

hollow ibex
#

ammo aura isn't necessary for recon las anyway

raw needle
#

im pretty sure recons have crit strings of 2

hollow ibex
#

2 whatever

#

still useless

orchid hemlock
#

yeha it has a 2 string

#

ammo aura is not necessary except for bolt/plasma

hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

it's good in havoc because long game modes get more value out of it

hollow ibex
#

even ify ou don't take WS

raw needle
#

well ok i can get behind ammo aura but 2 nodes instead of actual talents is weird

orchid hemlock
#

the main reason u take SURV is for the frags tbh,

hollow ibex
#

true

raw needle
#

i take surv cause there's gonna be 3 ogryns in the team

hollow ibex
#

surv isn't going to be enough for 3 ogryns 😭

raw needle
#

its the least you can do

orchid hemlock
#

yeah surv is way overestimated after the nerf, it gives you about 1 large ammo pack per game on average (20-30 minutes)

raw needle
#

actual vet meta

orchid hemlock
#

also, if zealots for example only uses their flamer in specific situations, u might overcap

#

this also doesn't account to an ammo drop

#

because it gives u 100% ammo

dry cloak
#

before one dog wave was half of ammo back

orchid hemlock
#

surv's value is consistently giving u ammo not the total really

raw needle
orchid hemlock
#

that's why it's strong in havoc where u are bogged down for minutes at a time

#

if you are going thru the run smoothly, u just pick up ammo

hollow ibex
dry cloak
#

yeah before surv nerf dog missions were really likes mostly because you could just shoot for whole of the match

dry cloak
#

on bolter it not gice you 3 ammo instead of 1

orchid hemlock
#

even if u put the cooldown on it

hollow ibex
#

i'd just reduce the cd to 3s

#

5s feels like a fucking eternity in this game

dry cloak
orchid hemlock
#

i still think 3% is too high

dry cloak
#

2%

#

still a 100% increase from what we have now

raw needle
#

pretty much 2x the ammo pool

orchid hemlock
#

the problem is that the cooldown is inconsistent

raw needle
#

from an aura

#

for 4 people

orchid hemlock
#

u might have a huge wave of elites coming in when u have the cooldown, and nothing when it's off

raw needle
#

would probably be higher on havocs with more elite density

orchid hemlock
#

maybe, have something like every person on the team has an individual cooldown

#

that way it rewards you for killing elites quickly for eveyrone

raw needle
#

lower on dogs

#

maybe coherency wasnt as good there

#

this one looks better

orchid hemlock
gilded wraith
#

If I run a bleed focused build (flechette double barrel, shredder grenades) would it be worth it to add serrated blade? Or is it just too weak of a talent?

raw needle
#

its useless outside of knife

#

cause then you can run mercy killer on it

hollow ibex
void dragon
#

Knife is the only weapon with bleeding, right?

#

Melee ones I mean

steep grail
#

i think chainswords have it?

void dragon
#

In their active? I don't recall if they do but I think Caxes have something like that

native ocean
#

don't you need a blessing for that?

void dragon
#

Yeah, knifes apply with no blessings?

native ocean
#

no, I don't think so, there's a blessing that applies bleeding on non weakspot hits and another that applies bleeding on critical hits

normal bay
#

I think you need a blessing or tree node for bleed on weapons

#

Nothing has it innately

steep grail
#

yeah i don't believe knives just innately bleed

native ocean
#

there's a few talents that also cause melee to apply bleed on hit but no weapon procs bleed by default

steep grail
#

if they did the blessings wouldn't exist

#

i think chainswords and knives are the only ones who can get bleed through blessings

dry cloak
#

chain weapons as a whole have bloodletter iirc

steep grail
#

evis doesn't

dry cloak
#

going by gameslantern it does. i woudl need to check ingame

#

chaxe has it

normal bay
#

Pretty sure it has bloodletter

steep grail
#

evis has bloodletter???

dry cloak
#

if someone can check it please

steep grail
#

i need to use that weapon more

dry cloak
#

with photo evidence

normal bay
#

It's just not that useful on it tbh

narrow frost
#

Evis can bleed

#

And maybe all chain weapons

#

Might be wrong on that

#

I don't use chaxe or chain sword

normal bay
#

Chaxe has bloodletter 100%

dry cloak
#

smae with chainsword

#

if someone can check in game please do

steep grail
#

just checked

#

all three have it

dry cloak
#

thx

steep grail
#

i dont know why i dont remember evis having bloodletter

#

very strange

dry cloak
#

becuase noone using it

steep grail
#

very true

narrow frost
#

Bloodletter is really only used on IJ builds if you aren't running shred

#

For the guaranteed crit for crusher/mauler 1 shot

#

I cry for how bad the reving is on most chain weapons, coolest part of the weapon and is so unrewarding

They do what they did with Thammer

besides the chain rev attack taking forever to perform and not stunning what you hit (meaning they can hit you to disrupt it or force you to dodge and cancel it anyways) evis can only damage 4 enemies per swing iirc

#

What was the other thing about Evis 3 being bad

#

Oh yeah the cleave modifier against maniacs

frank basin
#

The push horde cleave

#

Is always push cleave

#

What’s your opinion on relic because they don’t have some braindead move set. @tame lodge

tame lodge
#

Relic Blade is pretty good

#

Legit one of the best generalist in the game

frank basin
#

Make sense people hate brain dead move set

#

Only me liked

#

Mk15 Evis and mk12 chainaxe

#

All braindead moveset

tame lodge
#

That's the funny part though
You can light attack spam against hordes with the mk10

frank basin
#

Even ds4 and mk4 dclaw

frank basin
#

The fgs second mark one is also braindead moveset light horde clear and heavy single target

#

I use a lot of it

#

Push attack is great poke attack

#

Relic I almost liked but didn’t like the 3rd pattern poke

And block cancel prevents the poke

frank basin
#

Nah I like simple moveset

#

I don’t want to memorize move set

hollow ibex

You could even just light spam for hordes

#

Doesn’t matter much

frank basin
#

I replace skin of Evis 15 to relic blade head

#

KEKW_ogryn I like relic if they don’t have the poke on third swing

hollow ibex
#

Hardly matters and it’s good for mixed hordes

void dragon
#

Poke the pox walker, you still have some great swings to clean hordes

frank basin
#

Well like fgs the after push and poke is my simple action I do when come crusher or ragers

#

On ragers

#

What’s first heavy attack on mk10 relic blade?

#

Overhead? Poke?

atomic void
#

the poke is peak

#

direct it at elites they go boom

frank basin
#

Tell me does the relic blade stagger elite on light attack?

#

And I will consider add on my list

#

Not count with poke; because I know poking does stagger

sullen jackal
frank basin
frank basin
#

On work like increase cleave and damage similar to power sword

sullen jackal
#

ok

#

the answer is probably no because when off, the relic blade is a plastic lightsaber and does literally nothing

#

also because the actual answer is probably "try it yourself" because this is not something trivially answerable without trying it

frank basin
#

Plastic light saber huh?

#

Not like foam noodle

hollow ibex
#

The relic blade is actually usable when unpowered

sullen jackal

Hmmmm
