Hey I know this video
I wonder where from
Also, bunmer (one of the vets in the video) says he wants to run it again
If 2 random vets want to play smokes with us someday
I'll record another run
If im not working I feel obligated
just cause smokes are peak fucking comedy
i probably would but havoc 40 with a challenge setup on US server 
Reminder that Taxe is in fact Havoc 40 viable
It'll be easy if need be
East
suppose we could try but with time difference i'd need a day or so heads up
I'll add you and we'll see what we can set up
Wtf is the thumbnail
4 red circles, Scab Bruiser saying a line he doesn't have, a dog png messing up the lyrics of Calvin Harris' song Summer, tiny Goku, and one yellow box
And also like fifty arrows
true, there should be a face on the right looking at the viewer, makes the algorithm tingle with excitement
I’ll have you know that Goku is my proud contribution to this example of absolute peak
I told him to add goku
that was incredibly important
An extremely high priority
There’s orange lighting in the background, you could’ve hidden him there 😭
I was begging him to hide it in the most obscure spot so you'd barely see it unless you actively looked
What has been everyone's experience achieving the "Make Every Shot Count" penance? What was easiest for you guys?
Shotguns do well since only one pellet needs to land for it to count as a landed shot, I got mine with the combat shotgun
Introduced a majority of shooters to my gun’s barrel and meleed the rest of the way
Enjoyable but not getting a vet with survivalist aura in pub matchmaking can be up to fate alone
i took a revolver and remove survivalist out of the talent. And shoot up close just to make sure i don't miss.
All shotguns should be like the Kickback. Because let's face it, a shotgun is NOT the short range weapon that most video games make them out to be. More betterer at short range, sure, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to kill something 50 meters away from you. Hell, that's half the reason people even use shotguns, the fact that at least some of the pellets will hit the target at a long range.
use revolver or plasma gun, I haven't heard of anyone being able to do this with a shotgun recently in the past year or two
shotguns accuracy seems to be calculated differently unless I'm told otherwise
Shotgun's "accuracy" for the penance only matters if one single pellet hits an enemy.
As long as one hits any enemy, the shot counts as a hit.
Except bulwark shields, those don't count last I checked.
i mean if you want to get technical half the enemies in game are wearing flak or carapace which would completely nullify most shotguns
have you completed it recently? because I've had a bunch of veteran friends go through this awful penance and the shotgun hasn't worked for either of them until they used a revolver/plasma
Ever heard of flechettes?
still suck at going through solid metal
Modern body armor is made with either steel plates or ceramic plates.
Buckshot can and will pierce.
Flechettes are designed to pierce.
You think 40k doesn't have some souped up flechette ammo for the purpose of punching through carapace?
I'd actually imagine they don't even use normal buckshot anymore, considering the Imperium's standard enemies are heavily armored/thick skinned.
and snipers, the enemies you actually need to hit at range, are wearing nothing at all
the only thing theyd pierce even today is soft kevlar
Anywho, shotguns don't need to be some monstrous sort of weapon that works at every range, but they definitely need a buff.
12g buckshot deforms IIIa body armor.
Flechettes have superior penetration and velocity compared to buckshot.
show me any footage or evidence of a flechette doing anything other the scuffing a hard plate
flechettes in EFT were so strong at some point
For reference, IIIa is rated for handgun calibers.
They don't need to be super effective at every range, but they need to do something. The Kickback is a perfect example of how the shotguns should work.
III is rated for intermediate cartridges.
I would be willing to put money on flechettes piercing class III armor at the right range.
No it isn't but go off.
I dont remember the guy's name but I can hear his cigarette smoker tone, "Shotguns, at the right range, with the right load, will physically remove a chunk of shit from your opponent and throw that shit on the floor."
still soft armor which id wager is leagues lower then what the heretics flak plates are even if theyre just basic steel and not super space heat harden mega plasteel or something
It's bad game design if there's a whole class of weapons that most players don't ever want to use, and isn't like that for any practical or lore reason. Not to mention we're getting a new class whose whole thing is using shotguns. They need a rework badly.
id say double barrels fine as is but combat stinks
In Tarkov they go through GOST level III which is roughly equivalent to level III NIJ but Tarkov is also a videogame so
id trust tarkov with my LIFE
maybe we should wait until americans are awake and ask them, at least one of them is guaranteed to have tested whether their shotguns can pierce body armor
i am this person their is not a chance in hell any conventional shells outside of very custome made slugs are piercing a hard plate some still struggle on kevlar grnated you get hit w the kevlar you might still be alive but your whole shit will be fucked up
got it first try

with zarona revolver
nice, I honestly wouldn't recommend shotgun because the game falls apart from time to time so it most likely won't work. The people I knew that did try even wrote down everytime they hit something and it didn't even give them the penance after getting every shot
what i used for it aswell think it took me two tho
I just need Adept Assassin, Armorbane, Unseen Predator and Killshot Ready penances then I am Certified Veteran
then comes the other classes 
Jokes on you, Veteran is the last class I have to do
See, that's another thing I like about this game, even if the enemy is heavily armored, they still fall on their asses if they get hit by a powerful enough attack. In most games it seems there's no game mechanic like that, just HP.
the ogryn bullrush one had me geeked for a while
It was a bit interesting
But once I finish vet I only have a few other random penances and havoc then I am 100% done
im in the final stretch of like my last 4 penances like 10 more vent purge missions, 30 more pox ,25 mortis then like 30k more killto finish out a million
speaking about shotguns, i keep having fun moments with marksmans focus shotgun
it does stupid boss damage
also this burster mustve been clutching a krak grenade cause that had 0 aoe radius
Does marksman's focus proc if any of the pellets hit a weakspot?
with minimum pellet count i'd assume if one pellet hits, its going to calculate damage based on the minimum pellet count hitting a weakspot
does it proc the stacks or movement penalty reductions?
honestly never even considered taking MF with shotgun
I have so many questions
maybe oughta play a few aurics with a build like that
if any pellet hits weakspot it procs MMF, though with shotguns and hitreg being a bit jank ive opted to use camo to force mmf stacks when necessary
works best with agrip shotgun, has the best finesse modifier. especially with slugs
Huh, that's actually pretty sick
Found a similar build but it was using the Helbourne Lasgun, so I might try out the shotty now too
stacks are only gained on weakspot kill, or with camouflage, over time when crouch moving/stationary
best case is zarona shotgun
zarona has higher min pellet count vs unyielding than its real pellet count
quite funny
if we're limiting to boss damage yes
i meant generally, zarona seems to have worse finesse modifier?
havent tasted that one yet tho
yes I know that, jeez louise, don't tell your daddy how to fuck
all I was asking was whether it counts as a weakspot kill if only some pellets hit the weakspot
if u hit >0 pellet on weakspot, game considers min pellet count equivalent dmg with weakspot hit
I think
shotguns frankly are always a mess to figure out the mechanics
this is my favorite build right now not gonna ngl lie
won't even bother including a melee weapon because anything works since the laspistol can kill everything and never run out of ammo
it's ridiculous, being able to kill even crushers no problem, with just a pistol
Yup
you can buy 500 rated weapons in the melk shop if you haven't gotten the mastery yet
I like the fact i stirred the shotgun convo in this chat
give them some love through this
Mah man uses tac reload; mah man knows 
Best is to buy a grey weapon & upgrade it to green, then sacrifice to increase mastery rather than buying from melk; rarely you get godrolls - milk coins are for curio buying primarily
Shotguns are awesome weapons. Good on you for making them work.
Well I've said it once and I'll say it again - don't tell your dad how to fuck.
Melk shop is useful if you're underleveled, after that, not much at all.
I mean if momma not happy then ye maybe have to teach an old dog new tricks 


@steep flower Even if you vacuum'ed the entire map for ammunition.
if it works, it works.
I like to eat good & scavenge well 
Is Pinning Fire and Puncture a good blessing on Boltgun or are there better picks
Still a lil confused about a weapons rating also. Wat does it actually do
Both are great, punc is goated
Its associated with its stats
Puncture and whatever it is that applies brittleness, that works well
Shattering Impact
What melee weapons are decent or better on the Veteran? Combat Blade, DS and PS are "obvious" picks, but what else works?
Combat axe for example if you wanna go melee the horde with an ogryn
it's good
I also like running Devils Claw, not a big fan of the Heavy sword.
Combat axe is fun!
But honestly there are other nice defensive melee options for range heavy class that is vet; experiment around
Heavy sword is more offense while dev claw has some defensive to it due to parry
Haha, I always build my vet to be good in melee. I just love the frags and VoC for teamplay
Merc was my fav in VT2, so shout abilities is my jam
combat axe III
power sword VI
combat blade VI
duelling sword (any)
shout abilities are the king and key
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME KILL YOU
whats the purpose of using charge shots on the plasmagun rather than spamming light shots?
right 😭
You can penetrate a bit deeper cover with charged shots
You can use a charged shot when you are below 3 ammo left in magazine for "free"
Bigger dmg number
aight thanks
also does exploding the plasgun instantly downs you? or js deals dmg to yourself
Insta down
If you are using Volley Fire, especially in combination with Blaze Away, to get a big finisher off to kill a target (rarely needed)
Doh, Executioners Stance
Its not the build you should ask about is more so how & when you should be using infiltrate
You go down just like psyker would overload on peril
Its just that i saw someone carry me and 2 others the whole and he had that on
Cause infiltrate has very good safe the game potential & the best objective completion potential
WDYM range heavy. 

That means you spend more time shooting than swinging a kitchen knife outside the kitchen you woman

Jk btw but my point on range usage stands firm
I see you want kraks to the face.
Also, still. WDYM range heavy. Stares at 'nades and pointy stabby thing.
You use your gun more
Than you use your melee
There ya go
I stab 10 things then shoot once or twice.
The only build that is more melee heavy is one using WS
Thats WS
Still! 
Go cut me some onions so you will have another reason to cry about it
(pls krak me)
You mean trade 6-9 kraks for a beeg box of boomies to huck at you.
Hi guys,I'm trying the weapons and I see no point on using the shovel
What is it good at?
Nothing
makes sense
(stagger-ish)
It's a safe weapon
Can keep hordes staggered
Can Special PA a Rager to death
It's very handy for those times where you need to take a quick dump during a mission
Can't have turds lying around on the floor all over the place, that's a work hazard!
ohhhhhh
Also, it has a very satisfying bonk sound
Don't fall for the bonk trap
A shovel is an amazing tool for digging trenches.
I mean that bonk sound is so good
But the weapon itself.....
At least it doesn't make me feel like playing a better weapon
(unlike taxes)
taxe libel, in my vet chat?
Surprised?
Taxes? Really? In front of my Veteran Chat?

surprised how one cant see the superiority of tac axe by now!
Relic Blade is more to my liking.
Superiority
Tac Axe is amazing for my Chorus Zealot.
psyker tax 🙏😌
Please, we all know shovel is true superiority 
What MK for shovel? And what blessings do people typically run?
thanks
I just got this from Melk. Stamina curios under 410 are actually +2 stamina, right? this description is bugged?
Yeah, 410 stamina is the true +3 stamina, unfortunately
thanks for confirming. i got excited for a second
Can't run fast though.
With a Tac Axe? Sure.
Knoife yes.
You do you.
tac axe
(t)ac (ax)e
Nice try fed.
gaslighting

Oh hey path
I know you love Psykers
Did you know that Biomancer staff can accidentally revive teammates in RT
I did smth mildly funny
alacrity op
Compensation for Idira accidentally un-aliving your team
+1 agility for every shot fired during this turn
I built for the heavy armor that makes heavy weapon atk cost -1 AP
plus arch militant's heavy gunner talent
so now my burst heavy bolter atk costs only 1 AP
I like forge world origin
it covers skill checks much better than the other origins
BS + AGI + INT spec
Huh, no wonder Grand Strategist Idira sucked on my first playthrough
@surreal oak
Pasqal is ultimately pretty mid unfortunately
His atk economy is not good enough for dps
The snipers long las is DIFFERENT
Yeah I know that part
And he has low perception so he kinda gets gimped later on
U need high perception for his talents to scale well
I’m on a weird custom diff rn
Every slider is turned to the max on the right
Just wait until Unfair
So I went back to daring, achievement hunting rn
It is in the difficulty title
Tsk.
Try 3; good at managing a horde and safer than 7
TBF that's basically the only way the game can beat you
Being cheesy
Applying 55 stacks of toxin on a 44 HP character turn 1 frame 1
If the game is cheesing, i'll cheese as well. I mean not really. It is a legitimate build.
the custom diff I'm on rn
It is called Unfair. The game is out to get you.
Hold on..
Number of Rounds for Wounds, Injuries and Traumata.. shouldn't that be 0?
My RT with 300% dodge 150+ WS, 200 WP
I know, you set it to Maximum, but to make it more difficult, it should be Minimum.
Ik
I just decided I don’t want to engage with injuries as a concept
@tame lodge And still, SOMEONE or SOMETHING is going to hit you.
When the 97% hit roll misses
+50% npc characteristic is already hard enough
How about turning injuries and traumata into your strength?

It’s quite literally like
Bro thinks he's death world
If I don’t use concentrated fire
Area attack won’t hit anything
Argenta flamer hit 5 guys
5 dodges

"simply walk out of it"
Death World Pyromancer Blade Dancer Psyker.
That's psyker mains.
I don’t have deathworld character
Well, go ahead and have fun. I won't judge.
I have forge world crime lord soldier AM
Ah yes, my favourite.
I'm going void Shadows on this playthrough
Who greenlit Kibellah
Kibellah is super strong
But
Although Forge World Crime Lord Operative for me.
Kibellah is a powerhouse, but the Blade Dancer can be made better on the RT
Forge world is by far the best for passing checks
It was supposed to be a dodge focused playthrough
Calculated Relations. 
Or alternatively, you pick up Jae and let her charm everyone and everything, including machines.
Jae is super underrated
Cassia + Jae + DPS seems like by far the strongest setup for majority encounters
U don’t need anyone else
Pasqal exists solely for tech use checks
This is not meant as boasting, but the Unfair character i have, the build is so busted that i resorted to sometimes only running the RT and Jae because i will still win.
With high enough Charisma, Jae can do tech-checks just as well as Paqual.
Yea u can kit her purely for stats
Real
And she'll still work.
I have her kit for combat tho so fellowship is a bit lower
Simply Speech check everything
Only 100 out of combat
Whats the second tier archetype called again?
Jae best is master tactician
Yes, that one.
Grand strategist goes to cassia / pasqal usually
Jae as Master Tactician is just buffing the RT and the RT is just deleting everything while being injured and traumatized to all hel.
And does not care at all.
Master tactician Jae is a better support than cassia but cassia does dps better than Jae
Navigator talents op
I don't even bother using Cassia. Unpopular opinion, i know.
Cassia gameplan is super simple
I benched her a lot on my first playthrough
U kind of have to bench her for fights to be challenging
That's the point.
Then fell in love with Displacement Cassia
I’m not sure if full dogmatic or full iconoclast is better late game tbh
Iconoclast IV’s ability is super strong
but dogmatic has this
And eye of joyeuse if ur a psyker
Eye of joyeuse + psy focus + hand of offense
Exevutioner heroic act spam?
I can’t quite decide if AM or executioner is more busted in damage
Executioner is better in bulk
When dots start hitting for 1000
Executioner clears groups better for sure
One of the iconoclast armor allows you to be immune to CRIT, as long as none of your team went prone
Weird condition but strong
Archmilitant can miss
There’s 1 melee late game that’s super funny
Executioner dot spam cannot
Smiter pickaxe
That one is nice too
For my team Iconoclast was best as you can chain Ults with Iconoclast + Inquisitor Signet
One hand melee is prob either triumph of faith or smiter
2 turns on first turn is 🤔
Or if defensive auto power sword
What about 3 turns
Or even more
Divination Moment
There is also uralons wep
And the carnage chainaxe
If psyker force swords are the best
The Distortion, my goat
Infinite stacking crit damage is so nutry
Warp Speed Hendrix or funny Idira sniper
Starved for choice 😔
for exe you just pick drukhari blades anyway
Not if psyker
Then you use the warpfire one
Executioner could probably use a rock to kill a space marine

Also Santic Sword
There’s a late game build for Abelard that goes kind of hard
Is it the malpian build?
It’s prob not the best but it’s very funny
riposte tank?
Malpian is used but that’s not all
U need war world Tempestus origin armor
Scales deflection based on carouse
Then helbrute trophy
Oh yeah I love that one
Reduce deflection and armor to turbocharge damage
Currently using power armor though
Oh I saw that build, I get like 50+ deflection and 200+ armor
Bullshit levels of defenses lol
I also play on normal like a scrub
I didn’t built him for toughness
Now imagine it on forge world mc
I might be addicted to burst weapons
With subskin
Ah I did for defense memes
Argenta’s issue is u have to build her into fury path to get the best item for her
There’re 2 versions of the one star power armor
Cuz by the time u get it u barely fight criminal enemies
The passive it has is almost redundant
Abelard be like "Lord Captain, I'm going to go fistfight a dreadnought now."
But it looks cooler
And he just... gets away with it.
Eh ig
Yeah it's hilarious
20 more days for both dlcs 
Then again Im also using a witch staff
It’s a shame I’m going on 2week vacation right after dlc drops
Which is definitely not the optimal weapon
Enemies will have like 120% armor pen on Unfair and Abelard still takes 0 damage
Only psykers scare Abelard :c
Malpian shroud is rly good for Abelard and Kibellah
And executioner in general
Busted item
Isnt it best on vanguard though?
Because thencit stacks
Probably one of the most busted melee items if the user is dogmatic
Shrimply oneshot psykers with your own psyker.
It has no dogmatic requirement
Combine with joyeuse
Malpian is iconoclast
(molten beam on a correct build crits every time, can be cast twice, and does upwards of 1k damage per cast)
True, was thinking of the fucking "last fight" for the Death Cult
I.... one turned him
I bursted him 6 times with heavy bolter in one turn and he gave up
Just use toybox and disable requirements for your alignment.
Yeah I gave him a turn just to see if did anything
Edge of Concurrence on an iconoclast psyker funny.
After that Operator 1-tap
Cassia mega buff mc->mc does emperors resolve and hammer->uses iconoclast skill to give cassia heroic act for free->cassia gives mc heroic act->mc full buff and go kill
left is fury path
right is order path (her best ending)
which means if u want best argenta build u kinda have to forego her best ending
sucks
what is her fury path? 
Full mag dump bolter
go on sacred purge or smth
War Hymn is kind of eh sadly
Real
basically become dumb dogmatic person
order (AKA fire) path has her become a good person and help people in need
full dogmatic for RT seems like the strongest tho
|| the finale is still on the ship in the dark meditating before getting the armour in both paths? ||
Hymn of vehemence was what I was thinking
Hymn of Vehemence in Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader: Stats, bonuses, proficiency, and where to find Hymn of Vehemence in this Warhammer Adventure!
There's one ending where she becomes a repentia
does she forego ranged and go full melee then?
||Driven quest
If humility, she gets shadow of death ability, and she’ll die in ending
If fire, she gets one star armor (right in image) and gets best ending
If fury, she gets best one star armor (left in image) and becomes crazy zealous and dogmatic||
||Repentia is the worst option||
ye i think i randomly went for fire
which would make sense considering the iconoclast playthrough
Rookie numbers compared to heavy bolter
I mean yeah
Unfortunately mogged by Improved Heavy Bolter
But its funny reloading after every shot
Rogue Trader is fun :c
And tbh most of my chars do nothing as of now
Nah
if is co-op like baldur gate, i would
Ulfar hasnt gone in a chapter
It is
I bench everyone and just have cassia + RT fight
No idea how to build ulfar btw
2 person party
Toybox party dialogue turned on
Ulfar is flamer build only basically
But Im xenofugger so yrliet comes
Melee is dogshit
Yrliet exists for 1 thing and it’s AP bullet
Me wishing my PC could handle RT so I could have the more party slots mod
As pasqal
Sadly you can't do that anymore without insane stacking
ye i had that on my sniper op RT
click once, then let heavy bolter do heavy bolter things
Ngl she hasnt gone since chapter 3
Charge boots are soo funny
Sadly they fixed Lethality scaling and nerfed the fuck out of Tactical Awareness on Operator
yrliet issue is eldar snipers are not as good as imperium snipers late game
So Sniper 1-shot builds are very sad but still good
I mean the highest damage you need to do is like 48k
pinnacle of aeldari engineering is NOTHING compared to this
theres the funny burst weapon build as well
Assuming bliated hp
And you can't get there on first round anymore :c
the assassin
And melee assasin
It's funny how often overpen happens in RT
I always wrote it off, but it happens a lot (sometimes it's my friend's melee char getting domed)
Piercing Shot Heavy Bolter accidentally killing a boss due to overpen
(I was aiming at a basic warrior)
Thankfully the game tells you when overpen happens but not the chance to hit :c
Romance is so fucky in RT, I don't even know how much my companions like me
Yrliet romance is fucked
My cassia romance was broken because flags werent incrementing
I just hope they don't stab me in the back
So she ||became tisiphone||
I rly don’t like how u cannot be nice to her and not do her romance
U can’t even friendzone the eldar it’s crazy
I mean you can be nice
My first playthrough was chill with her, no romance at all
Yeah...
Was doing dish wife
At least Jae gives a really good rifle for Act 2
Jae and kibbys romance were harder to avoid
Yippie c:
Just be a woman
Surely Yrliet don't swing that way
Nah Jae is super easy to avoid
Don’t ask her if she has someone she likes
I mean there is no swinging either way

If you drink too much you get sent to horny jail anyways
Real
No u actually go back just fine
Yes you’re in the same bed but u didn’t do the deed, u just crashed from hangover
So no romance there
Oh maybe I misunderstood then
I recruit Jae only to take her stuff and then ignore her for the rest of the game, easiest avoidable companion by far.
My next playthrough as the law will be romancing kibbie

He will be dual wielding shotguns
Reminds me do shotguns get int scaling?
Tbh yeah heinrix is chill
Not directly, but some of the best buffs for shotgun scale off int
Its funny when he says we jave to judge yrliet
Heinrix in act 3 is pretty funny
Build Heinrix as an assassin and he becomes a melee monstrosity.
Int effects aoe damage dont it
It's Area Attack no? So you could go demolition scaling on Soldier
Which scales with agility
Yeah first time Im actually going to take that skill
"A warp portal in the heart of the enemy fortress? I thought nothing here could make me smile" -Hendrix
Funny man in Act 3 c:
Not sure if I go arch militant or bounty hunter
INT normally scales area damage
However if you’re soldier, u can get demo engineer and have demo scale area damage instead which also scales from AGI

Yes but they specifically removed gun based AOE to avoid insane scaling
Double Barrel shotgun
Thats one hand
Not sure which shotgun the other one will be
Shotguns fall off so hard when enemy characteristics are tuned up
Any Foehammer
Use a melta for more ammo
Hit chance is horrendous
Meltas are just shotgun mk.2
"simply walk out of it"
But you can one hand shotguns
Melta pistols exist
These mfs rly just walk out of shotgun blasts
They can be dodged
If u have NPC characteristics turned up they’ll be dodging ur shots crazy well
You need Operator levels of accuracy to use a shotgun
Enemies will have like 180% dodge on Unfair
If I max out agility
The governor on Janus was able to dodge out of a heavy boltgun burst
Half damage so it's still shit
Does guarunteed crits feom confident approach count as 100% cc?
They ONLY take damage during dodge if they cannot dodge out of the shot
Not sure
Or nah
But frankly
Because then you can combo with the crit cha ce to dodge reduction
I don’t care about it too much
Nah if it was 100% crit chance then the best scaling is vital points
Arch-militant stances are pretty eh imo
Isnt that the exemplar skill?
Yea
Dodge reduction from crit chance is not that crazy
I mean por que no los dos
But vital points goes insanely hard with high crit chance
You probably need both
Degraded Defenses is probably the most op exemplar skill
Other option I can do is run officer master tactician with double barrel shield
100%
And solomons
We banned it 
Peak condition is pretty good too
I kind of like flesh wounds even though it’s not very good
Yeah a lot of the exemplar skills are just very solid picks
Degraded Defenses is just straight up cheating
I use flesh wounds exclusively for integrity
"-95% damage taken" -> still killed 
I like to use Know It All for the minor stats buffs just because it fits my char so well lol
Forge World RT with Int maxed? Oh yeah he's a fucking nerd
Though then again maybe shields will suck
Forge world with toughness maxed
Gigachad
Like 40% armor
I considered making a really tanky arch militant forgeworld char for funnies
Issue is the agility one is better
Probably should
Yeah the lack of accuracy hurts a ton
Dodge Reduction my beloved
BS + AGI + INT spec is real
Its so good
u just need to take characteristic training INT early
otherwise u can't level INT during soldier
I mean bs is less helpful after 65 right
Especially with broad expertise
Some good items also scale off of Ballistic Skill too
True
I run a janky af build for my tanky arch militant
The gloves that let you parry, enforcer boots no idea if they work tbh
Was going to go for a lasgun + melta gun combo for maximum shooty
The -1ap reloads
The parry gloves are quite good considering Argenta can't use a melee weapon for shit.
And just ram a lasgun down people's throat to increase accuracy 
I wondee if one ca counter with a parry
Assuming they have the boots
just give her a shotgun and call it a day
Or can shotguns not trigger attacks of oppurtunity
They don't
I killed a daemonette point-blank thanks to it
cuz u can't heroic act spam more than once per turn
Yeah :c and there's so much Resolve and Momentum stacking items
Heavy flamer and heavy bolter is the only true way to play Argenta.
I put my RT on heavy bolter and it's been working sorta better
So they cannot trigger attacks off the parry, big sadge
the heavy armor that reduces heavy weapon atk AP by 1
It would be soo funny
The fucking Slaanesh warp encounter where the RT spawns alone made me test it 😭
which results in absurd alacrity stacks
267% dodge for power armor btw

As intended
Imagine if you got dont stop shooting
From fortress world
Sadly there's an attack cap
my first playthrough was fortress world
Iirc it's like 13 attacks per char
now am on forge world I kinda prefer it more
More dakka
Agi, toughness, or crit?
I miss infinite attacks Pasqal
AGI
So you are shpeed
crit is redundant to me cuz I take confident strike
toughness is redundant to me cuz none of my talents scale toughness
AGI just scales movement better for better shot angles
for skills I spec demo/logic mainly
demo for demo engineer to scale ranged area atk
logic because there's 1 item late game that allows u to use heroic act without using momentum, at any momentum
it's a hard logic check to pass to unlock that talent
Lol that funny item
does soldier's ult bypass it
cuz it scales extra atks from firerate
No it's a hard cap
ah shame
Yeah you used to have literally infinite attacks before they nerfed Pasqal
Cuz if you run icono then you ca get 3 heroic acts in a row
dogmatic seems strongest to me
and tbh
dogmatic is overall best ending to me
Which is a theoretical 40 attacks but 13 is the hard cap :c
the imperium needs dogmatic people that are iconoclast enough at the right time
and that's how I spec my character
This is true
Lvl 4 Iconoclast because more ults UwU
My iconoclast guy is an iconoclast guy who is dogmatic at the right time
Aka exterminatus
Also the ability to instantly dome my friends at lvl 5 Iconoclast is actually pretty useful
besides
They just had to be melee...
if ur dogmatic V u literally become imperial saint
quite cool
way cooler than being a "good guy"
The ecclesiarchy disagrees
You seen the ending for dogmatic if you become a ctan
that writing part is peak
Considering they attack you in Act 4, I'm sure the RT will get over it UwU
Ecclesiarchy doesn't always attack you
I max reputation with drusians they kinda only disagree for legality at this point
I mean yeah I got max all rep
Either the Ecclesiarchy raised RT attacks you or the actual Ecclesiarchy attacks you
The navy is gonna attack me
Yes, but if you kill the rt then the ecclesiarchy becomes more normal
besides
the 2 strongest items in the game scale dogmatic the best
it is what it is
Ask them politely not too
But if max rep, most of the navy defects to you
Poor Heretic path
Heretic path has the best force sword
Sold their soul for dogshit powers 😭
Eh
heretic path is overall worst build
And calligos
The only thing I liked was Heretic 2 for the AP regen on kills
This but like a lot of dogmatic choices suck.
Shhhh
Everything else sucked
You know you can just, hire someone?
Tbh my dogmatic mc was pretty much a dogmatic but not stupid person
And lose profit factor? Not on your life.
Yeah but they only have 1 tier
Mutually exclusive terms.
Items scale better on the companions
early on the dogmatic points are very stingy but by act 4 u can easily become dogmatic V without even trying
Exterminatus makes sense, logical governance on janus
Kiava gamma makes more sense
2 colony projects are enough to get u rly close to dogmatic V
This
I do dogmatic but still send food to footfall
I spare the Eldar on Janus because killing them makes Yrliet sad.
I convinced them to act with the humans dogmatically
Yrliet makes me sad
I killed them all
Yrliet is just a sad character in general.
if u side chorda (which, in the long run, is better for the imperium even tho chorda is horrible), u can get like 90 dogmatic points from that 1 quest lol
Lol yeah that threw me for a loop
She basically crippled Footfall but somehow it works out? 🤔
"Muh meditation" ma'am you are part of a dying race please stfu.
High factorum deserves to retire, helmsman deserves some sleep, jocasta can go fuck off
High Factorum best friend
His dogmatic ending is sad
If you do the early side quest involving the confessions you figure out hes appropriating some funds for orphans which is giga based.
Same with the helmsman
He went from "literal who" to "I trust this man with my life" from the Death Cult dlc
Icono ending has him make a group of the orphans take lver his role
Dogmatic has him die in service, and have the last words " your affairs are in order"
Mortis Trial buff that gives Infinite ammo during Executioner Stance + Ranged enemy kills refresh Executioner Stance
||ryzza is a heretic and believer of the cult of the final dawn
even if she repents, the stain of chaos won't fully leave her
and if chorda dies, her entire protectorate essentially dies with her, which is more lives lost and more worlds lost than losing footfall
by the end of the game ur own protectorates get big enough to be major trading and transport centers that losing footfall is ultimately not as big of a deal||
One of the mortis traits makes you not consume ammo when you crit so vet can get something like 60% crit rate between exe stance and reciprocity.
Helmsman doesnt sleep until he gets hit with a shell
Ah ok, its a mortis trait thing
Best answer is to redeem her
I meant chorda and ryzza
Ryzza just tries tl go legit and dies
After trying to eliminate the taint
Sucks to suck, maybe don't be a heretic?
there's no real redemption to ||someone that already works with chaos||
^^^
yeah once that door is open, that's it
Yeah I just felt that it was a "hindsight" kind of thing because I 100% thought she fell to chaos when she was eating human brains lol
like heinrix
It's not something easily rectified, that door will remain forever open.
Yeah, it's actually quite easy to set up just RNG reliant
Heinrix is always at risk of chaos corruption, mf is a psyker.
yea if heinrix ||uses chaos cogitator on kiava gamma he's GONE, there's no good ending for him left||
u have to stop him from using chaos cogitator if u want him to not be fked in the end
Path the game has been out for quite a while I think you can afford to not spoiler things.
Indeed
Eh people could have jumped in so from the Skull week DLC announcement
dear diary, today the emperor blessed me with a perfect roll Dueling sword, it is low level (320) so i figure i could use it a little to see how the fuzz about the weapon feels
i puked, sure is not great at horde clear, but with frag nades, and ogryn and the sheer movility it gives who needs horde clear?
(this think is 35 in finesse and kill crushers as fast as a power sword, who the hay though this needed MORE power?!)
Anywho do any of yall even like Heinrix as a character or do you just see him as a dps monster?
Dps monster
both tbh
but
it's rly funny that
Heindrix story-wise is alright but I didn't really find interest
I quite enjoy his dry sense of humor.
DT's rannick is somehow more competent than both calcazar and heinrix at being an inquisitor
Give it Brutal Momentum pls and a horizontal light kk thx
heinrix crashout in act 3 was so funny
No, not exactly?
Rannick is an armchair leader, Heinrix is a hands on inquisitor.
Those are two entirely separate things, you can't fairly compare them.
I really liked the part where he goes "I thought nothing here could make me smile. I was wrong" if you plan to drop a Warp portal in Act 3 :p
honestly doesn't the communion mission kinda depict rannick as a bit incompetent
I will say you can compare Calcazar to Rannick fairly though.
rannick is definitely not an armchair leader given the mortis trials dialogue
yes
I haven't heard all of it, do tell.
Is Rannick like ex wyrmwood or something?
Zola is ex-Wyrmwood, Rannick, we don't know.
||rannick infiltrated zola's hideout and gave her wyrmwood contact, which zola ultimately used to join the warband
rannick also sent morrow to nox alpha for spycraft on smth, BEFORE moebian 6th was turning traitor||
its still a sign of respect
"that's the spirit, do or die!"
Anywho, didn't know Rannick was even capable of leaving the ship. Seems to me at first glance that he just orders people to do things under pain of death with his authority.
"team, violence, now"
He also was ||explicator rannick||
"strike team, Violence, now
It's "violence, please" but sure.
"violence, please, now?"
There's no "now."
I forgor
But it's implied. (the other option is dying to heretics)
haven't played dark communion in a while
"that's the spirit, do or die!"
idk why that line always cracked me up with how it's delivered
but yea rannick, even though dark communion shows him as kinda not knowing what's going on, he's not incompetent
"Why didn't I know?"
He absolutely should've.
Meaning it's not him that's incompetent, it's his agents.
it's more possible that he got fed bad intel by atoman lords
margrave called back moebian 6th first (which turned out very bad), then moebian 53rd out of nowhere
Nobility in warhammer being utterly useless fops? Say it ain't so!
rannick even sent hestia in his stead to deal with nobles in the revamped hab dreyko mission
he's clearly not having any of that nobility stunt
There is only one noble in warhammer I trust and he's not in 40k. (it's Karl Franz)
elector counts: summoned
Ok, now time to boot wh3 to listen to Gelt scream and flail for the next hour.
there's also the thing in gloriana
rannick and swagger's dialogue
rannick seems to me like a field operative turned into desk worker
That begs the question of who is Swagger, exactly?
rennicks boyfriend
I would assume wyrmwood but even Rannick doesn't know him.
Could be another Interogator or some noble or could be Grendyl himself
We have no idea
definitely-not-an-eldar-in-disguise
We know of at least 1 other interrogator from the board game
Who's currently working with Atoma's mafia in the cauldron stacks
I think
my favorite theory is its grendyl whos really just an absolute eversor-assassin level madman going around slaughtering heretics 
makes 0 sense but it'd be funny
there's been 2 eldar hints in DT
sefoni referencing craftworld altaioc "sword, crescent, ..."
wyrmwood agent saying "no aeldari dropship to bail us out" in a vox transmission

dont bring eldar into this, you know how that ends. well have to kill an avatar 
avatar is a punching bag dw
exactly
throw an ogryn at it
Avatar of Khaine vs 4 ogryns with 3 rations to share between them, who wins?
(It's the ogryns, they are hungry)
"It's me vs a shard of their God" -DoW2 Commissar
You "trust" Karl Franz? There's a fan theory that he secretly has a seat on the council of thirteen and that's why the Skavens' existence is denied by official authorities. Of course that's a baseless conspiracy theory, but then again, so is the existence of the Skaven...
I would NOT trust Gelt. As cool as he is, he is still a raving lunatic with a tendency to turn people into gold statues if they bother him too much.
the Wizard having a temper? Lies and slander surely
I mean, he became a raving lunatic because of the incident that ruined his face.
Franz is the only noble that isn't insane or actively trying to fuck the rest of the known world over for a higher seat of power. He is reluctant to use his power as Emperor and only wishes for the growth of his realm and the prosperity of his people.
t. Karl Franz
I have no idea at this point.
Personally for me it's mostly because Gelt genuinely had a chance of succeeding
which is a lot to ask for in the Warhammer universe 
yeah he might be insane and tempermental but that's not the "worst" thing you can get as a wizard
Nagash sweep
brb simping Nagash
xenos are cooler then the imperium
the necrons and orks are cooler 10 fold
They’re like the only cool major xenos factions unfortunately
eldar? tau? tyranids? actually maybe not the nids they are boring af.
Tyranids are almost entirely relegated to cartoon villains
Show up, fuck shit up, get wrekt by imperial last stand, repeat
Eldar are boring in general
Except maybe harlequins
Only interesting tau is farsight
Which is not even part of tau at this point technically
i know i said that wrong i just like to make blue berry mfs mad
They’re their own thing
I like the clowns
they arent boring they are more weeb then the tau
the tau arent the weebs its the eldar
Aledari myeh
i doubt your adhd ass could sit through a single episode ngl
Eldar had smth interesting going on with ynnari then GW botched that storyline for plot convenience
Thats not very nice lol
yeah i know
So now they’re just boring
mb
gw doesnt write the lore they own the rights to the lore
i think what ever gw says is bs
Best xenos are stryxis and monke
fellas is tactical reload a must have
No
Depends, usually no
im a surgical headhunter combo slut
Necrons are ok
yeah I find myself not really benefitting much
Necrons and orks hard carry xenos at this point
And the clowns
Clowns are nice
the crons are the coolest faction in 40k
Harlequins can be cool they just don’t show up enough
Coolest faction are the space wolves, cuz fenris
Gets really cold
thats a chapter
Imperium blows all of the other factions away by sheer representation
Necrons and orks do carry xebos though
also carcharodons are cooler cuz tyberos
Necrons are also one of the likeliest faction to win in the end
yeah cuz ya know, BLOWS UP STAR WITH MIND
crons vs nids showdown
Nah just cuz they counter 2 of the largest threats that aren’t them

the crons win easily
the nids cant feed of of tomb worlds
so they just lose
