Me with BM mk4: 
True
Arbites? What's that?
Skirmisher haters will hate regardless
Today imma sprint n get hit for it
Finally found a way for skirmisher
Is like carrying me, right?
No its like eating hot stuff; i like it from time to time 
I see you hate carrying me, I get it though.
Bruh 
Wat?
I think it can out okay for the Agripinaa. Helbore was the big winner.
I'd still like to see the firing column increased slightly for the slug special ammo. It's finicky about headshots. Duckbill special ammo is a mess. Overall I'm frustrated that their skipping over the special ammo in the pass. It seems like they're taking the path of least effort.
Please overlook the 5 typos, migraine.
Huge.
But not for vet. Mainly for zealout.
will still feel nice on Vet in fairness
No more ads requirement for your shotgun to actually kill things with the slug round.
it goes bang better and doens't always need ADS for the better critical preformance. the cleave improvement will make it easier to chunk through adds for more important targets as well.
not explictly great for vet in particular but it's going to just feel nicer in general
admittedly not one for the maths but it'll be interesting to see what, if any, breakpoints are affected as well
I just want a little more oomph to vet other then being mostly a shout and ammo aura
Recommend trying auto gun vet with an axe
Gives gameplay a real run/gun feel that pack a good kick
I hate axes
(just making sure) you are putting Brutal momentum on them yes?
Very tsundere of him
Chainsword? Rev go brrrrrrr
I do like the chainsword
Play zeolet get a thunderhammer
I play all the classes
I do just wish vet had a lil more going for them in melee/stamina then they do
That's all
Vet=shoot things 
most normal veteran post
This vet prefers the "fix bayonets and charge" part
Not very veterinarian of you
If I wanted to be a veterinarian I'd be an Arbites
You had hope in 40k?
Btw, do we know if we're getting an additional character slot with the update?
No word on that one
Anyone's guess really
Suspicion is no since that would be one for each class
But it is premium so maybe it is auto
I hope so
Lots of people, me included, already use the 5th slot
I have a 2nd vet
(Who does use an axe, okay?)
we are
kitefin said that the slots are being increased for arbites
Nice, ty
Can you?
yes
Ik there was a mod, but is it as simple as literally just goimg in to the config?
Thats funny
yes it is, the mods config
Ahhh, thought yall meant the base game config file 
who knows what happens to them all when the game updates tho

what a stupid poll, those aren't the final changes
Hard to tell with the leak. I don't think anyone outside of Fatshark would know if they were final or not. I don't necessarily expect Fatshark to be candid about it at this point.
See my last sentence 😁
yes, they aren't gonna show off the final changes, but the "represent potential changes and are not ready for release" says they definitely aren't final, they may represent the direction, but nothing else concrete enough to start making a poll about the numbers
Did the Chinese version Fatshark posted have that "evaluation" wording at the end?
I honestly don't remember.
Safe bet it will shift a little bit at this point regardless.
The final changes to DS and plasma will be buffs actually
earlier i have seen someone posting darktide has mixed reviews
its about the plasma and ds being nerfed aint it
Review bombing from possible Plasma and DS nerfs
just why
people are fucking stupid
Literally took the words out of my mouth
They’re not even nerfs
They’re reworks
Lmao
Gotta love Gamers tm
rework that very much may be a general nerf
with emphasis on may
well that none know
fatshark knows
Name one person that unironically used Plasma M2
i did
Over M1 spamming
ive mostly stuck to the pistol so xD
laspitol? bolt pistol?
I like the revolver. Rev veteran with a speed loading build is very fun
That and a smoke nade meme build
No I mean like I take all the grenade talents to spam smokes
It's very fun
Effective probably not. But fun
I wouldn’t say that
I’d say it’s like a side grade bubble
Cause smokes don’t drop from damage
It's bubble saver
You drop one next to it so that random gunner does not shred the shield in 10 seconds
Reaper and gunners can shred that thing in like 5 seconds if they all focus it
Smokes? It’s confirmed 15-30 seconds of no ranged
The main thing is that psyker doesn't have to give up its constant AOE infinite cleave to use bubble
Vet does to use smoke

You don't gotta keep everything you want in Havoc
You can use anything in havoc
You just have to learn positioning and triggers
As well as the modifiers
You can focus on doing a few really good but better leave rest to others
Not so infinite in havoc, not AOE and also not constant
if you think it's too hard
just lower the difficulty
simple as
Literally
Havoc isn’t meant for everyone
This isn’t even a “I’m better cause I cleared H40”
It’s just a fundamental of how the game mode is
It’s brutally difficult cause it’s meant for the 5% who’ve dumped stupid time into the game
the sad part is, clearing H40 takes no mechanical skills
if you abuse all the crutches
making em think they actually good at the game
yup
I've seen so many H40 not even aware of dodgeslide existing
Literally
I’m clearing H40 with Vigilants and Taxe it feels a lot more rewarding
vigis
hes a true vigilante
really nice guns when you get hang of them
and yet most people say that they are worthless
also tell me
i read that right DB goes from 60 backup to 90 backup ammo?
Me who uses the power sword and Rashad: 🤷🏻♂️
I got carried through H40 and I don't even use the title&insignia because I feel like I didn't actually earn them.
The Taxe enjoyers: in glee
The virgin DS simps: in shambles
fair enough spirit
Taxe always wins
taxes wins irs vicotry
Who are you to say how rewarding a way a player clears a challenge with certain weapons is
he is galeophobia
Also why are people who don't use plasma so salty about it and want it nerfed
Gale speaks for Gale
Because I’ve dumped enough time into the game
I have the hours to back up what I’m saying that and I’m also a free spirit
I say as I please
80-90 I think?
Fatshark patch notes are so clear 
I want it nerfed so I can actually use it without feeling that the weapon is carrying me (like what I feel the only time I used the DS)
Feels like when zealot players wanted vet nerfed
100 cleave one shot machine

a lot of not so good players only survive on higher diccilties because of op abilities and weapons
Learning the Plasma had so much cleave was crazy
those weapons beiing plasma and DS onv et
Plasma only one shots on Crit and weak spot
And even then it's not constant
cleave
its the single weapon that can cleave carapace without blessings
Lovely
You M1 spam and it shuts down everything in the game
The reason it’s nerf is good because they’re also encouraging M2 usage by buffing it further
Aka
Shoot a crusher, see it stumble, repeat for free win engagement
Or use bolt weapons and aim wherever 
I dont see any m2 buffs in their evaluatory notes
I'll be happy if that was the case though
Now we will have a higher mortality rate on vets for exploding themselves
The joy
Zarona shooting brick sized bullets
😭
Ammo change on M2 charge, Uny ADM to 1.5 to 1.75, Unarmored to 1 to 1.1
there are non right now. they are just telling that there will be changes
This is still in the works and is theoretical
remember when bolter shot bullets smaller than revolver
So it could be changed
Gotcha
Soon the Helbore also will have that, believe
M2 is rubbish on plasma it uses too much ammo for the damage it delivers and is too slow when it gets hairy
Yes and why do you think people only M1 spam
Has anyone actually tried to use M2 only on Plasma?
Yeah
i did
It's ass
to do wallbangs
I still want power fist for vet
I love when my tank destroying fucken giga blaster is just used to spam out regular shots
Too much waiting
Because M2 is absolutely shit and should be buffed
so what will it be
that's why the are reworking the weapon
I have. Still much faster to kill a crusher or reaper with m1
not just nerfing it
basically assail cahnge that ners m1 and buffs m2
or bigger rework
that plasma need because its bland as fuck
It uses 3 uncharged shots worth of ammo for just shy of of 2 uncharged shots worth of damage
So M2 should be buffed even more to make it worth
That's an agreement so far, right?
I'll second that
in general pure nerfs that don't address the problems with the weapon are bad, but fatshark has stated they are trying to rework them, so I doubt it'll just be nerfs
Power fist power fist power fist
They also need to give it carapace cleave again if uncharged will be nerfed so heavily because a one kill per charged shot against carapace is not worth it
ie the dueling sword can horde clear ok and play with crushers like it's nothing, while something like the thunder hammer which is ment to be anti elite, has a lot of draw backs for being allowed to do what it does
general power will be decreased i think
yeah, and that's fine because ideally it'll still push the weapons into a useful niche
The leaked changes so far is Nerf uncharged into the fucking ground then give charged a very small buff against unarmored and unyielding
the leaked changes mean nothing
Aaand it's worth noting that those leaked changes aren't coming in the next patch, so they're very not set in stone
Remember when ogryn charge was gonna ignore nets?
i wouldnt say that
Because M1 did what M2 did already but even better hence they’re adjusting M1 to be more lower end but still powerful but M2 to be a cannon that deletes everything
havoc just isnt balanced as well by design, its supposed to be more chaotic and bloated
Doesn't it?
Nope
I know for a fact if those changes weren't leaked fatshark would have for sure implemented those changes as shown because they are notorious for Nerf hammering things
I don’t see the issue with the changes that might be happening
hence why high cleave and survival abilities are taken more often than not
what fact
"the changes are minimal"
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Wait, I read that wrong.
there is no fact
off the top of my head the only thing they really put in the dumps in this game has been the shredder pistol
They literally are it’s not gonna kill you to learn M2 managing
people raged about the PS changes, (it's still one of vets best weapons)
also remember
You don't use the weapon and don't know what it was like that is why
Besides you can’t tell me it doesn’t feel great charging M2 up and then blasting something off the face of the earth
using m2 can cause you to blow up
Source: Doom and Gloom posting vibes
I do use Plasma
I don’t like it cause it’s not interactive
I have used plasma since beta and the version we have today is by far the best version of the weapon
yeah plasma really became such a terribly boring weapon
That risk should be paired with a powerful reward
I fucking hate how it plays right now on top of that
It somehow manages to be both the best, and the most annoying.
you used to have to manage HP and heat and alter between M1 and M2
then they literally just buffed over and over again to be a spammy M1 masher
That and it’s not interactive at all
Bolter has Oomph behind it when you use it, Plasma it’s genuinely white noise
Ah yes very small change
Honestly don't mind it being annoying, it get sh!7 done
Would love another version that has the relic blade function tho
true
That’s why I’m all for M2 being buffed cause like you actually feel like you’re firing a beam
That’s not that bad lmao
Nah it's """""minimal"""""" don't you get it 😈
Same, my tendons hate mashing special every three swings.
Gale are we on the same page?
Def not
It's all we all can say, ObeseFish hasn't revealed their hand yet
I was referring to this:
Ive been more or less happy with FS balance changes
but i dont like how the game is making balance desicions with havoc in mind tbh
If a weapon gets to a point it trivializes any match it’s in
This is very "minor" everyone
It’s needed to be nerfed
Trust trust trust
Also that’s an insane buff
Realizing this is the Evis
Noooooo it's not enough!!! 😡
Stop talking
Nuh uh
Rev light light
Repeat
I am going to do unspeakable things with that combo, you don
I have yearned for the critviserator since launch
It was always there
But now
It does damage
Tac Axe buffs also look insane
I'm finally going to destroy my wrist
PS Shred and Piety
Could do either sides
Either more Crit to shit out damage or Stalwart to be Ogryn but smaller
Hell I'm sure regular EVIS is gonna rip
if they remove the cleave limit on eviscerator it's gonna be the next DS
I mean they are doing that
They confirmed it
I wouldn’t say that but it’s def going to be fucking crazy
Unless they change their minds and make another change
All the cleave in the world still doesn't one shot elites so I doubt it
Twins + Champion + Boss + Hexbound
Who invented the cultist champion
Holy
He thinks he's on the team
Fentbob Methheadpants
sometimes you just get fucked in the ass
Literally proves the argument of its skill expression it’s not meant to be cleared by everyone
Cause sometimes H40 says
No I said you’re dying
yep
Nah I'd win
doing brainless dmg does not take much skill in DT
staying alive when shit hits the fan does
you know, I haven't played much with the autopistol lately
Its good at swatting away maniacs
blaze away or the stagger power perk
Always blaze
I like Blaze calvacade for bosses
Tickle hammer
Lmao
autopistol has a flashlight
the only pistol that does
that's what makes it so good
Btw new enemy been leaked in the patch:
Lovely
Even if you kill the dog, the trapper will just jump off do a slow motion flip then trap you
Even if you kill the trapper the dog will:
if you hit the dog with a rock mid jump so it hits escape velocity it only gives the trapper a speed boost to grab you
Wdym?
prolly talkin about the shredder autopistol not the shredder grenades
25% crit is 50/4 at most
which is half of what pinnign gives
and that math is as rough as it gets, the difference is much bigger than that
cuz pinning instastacks, cavalcade not so much
Isn't that a 60 percent bonus to damage on critting
it varies by armor type
bottom line is, pinning gives you more dmg on anything but monsters and crushers
that you shouldn't be shooting to begin with
Recon is like 30 percent iirc
Isn't the Vraks, which has similar ISH stats 150% on crits?
ye recon has low crit dmg
laspistol has high
but you go crit on recon for infernus
not the extra crit dmg
shredder has average finesse modifier at 1.5
I agree that pinning fire is the best second blessing generally
oh DEAR GOD EMPEROR NO
But calvacade is very nice for boss mag dumping
Which is what I mostly use SAP for tbh
Is it? Shouldn't then the unarmoured damage around 170 on crit then?
finesse modifier of 1.5 is +50% damage from base on crit
But SAP gives 60 percent on crit right?
im pretty sure it doesnt pierce carapace
Significant Another Person, ez
patch notes said it was finesse raised to 1.5, but judging by the damage table its closer to 1.6. which would be 60%
it's like almost there
being able to sprint shoot is nice
if it was more precise it'd be very nice
but I can dance with them at mid range
but alot the guns in this game act like they are actually being fired from the hip when you aren't adsing
I suppose if I take the vet talent for suppression
it'd be pretty good just for keeping down gunners
even if I don't kill them
use exec stance
VoC users when asked to consider literally any other ability
exec stance is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
such as being able to melt armor with infantry lasguns
Situational? Like when there are enemies on the screen? 
its what we do
I mean I am also waiting on the inf las hipfires to not go 1 mm to the right or left of the enemies heads when I aim directly at their face
not even suppression it just does that
You will be happy
my halo reach DMR self using a semi auto weapon at close range wants to shine once more
yeah, I like fucken lasers tho
Specifically the Graia
I mean it’s a truth nuke
Helbore will be better
At the cost of being sluggish dodge wise
I can work with that
@tall torrent basically abe lincoln, he can only speak the truth
Hamdol is typing
Swarm of angry bees
I mean if someone shot me with like 30 bullets i'd be on the ground too
but only for like 5 seconds right
I do walk around wearing heavy steel flak armor so longer then 5 seconds
that stuff is heavy
I saw in some YT vid that the wooden helbore skin has much better sights aye?
Yes
p2w
The Vostroyan and Krieg skins are P2W
krieg too?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEoZID8VpUI
was it this one?
those sights arent original wooden skin helbore though
Not havoc viable btw
oh are they not
yeah shit build sry 
no extended weapon customisation mod has them as dev WIP I
Gimme a sec
is that the base wooden sight?
For vostroyan yes
still better than OG
so which one is krieg, all the rest has the same rail
only wooded differs out of those
Bottom left iirc
It has that weird block there but like
It’s extremely minimal
But it’s sights are really nice
Bigger sight picture
Vs Vostroyans non existent but very open one
I mean, I like the block
makes it easier to find the sight in a chaos
old man eyes
MkIIIa imo is arguably the best cause
Shit honestly all you need is Surgical
Second blessing is literally up to preference on how you play
hold your horses, I'm not gonna start using em
they needed a cleave buff, not a handling one
roflno
clearly they just need to revert the bayonet nerfs 
the bayonet should be able to 1-tap ragers
brutal momentum bayonet 
as the Emperor would have wanted 😔
Limbsplitter Bayo
Nah
Why does everyone think every ranged weapon should get super high cleave
Plasma
I blame plasma
Plasma and it's 100 frigging cleave
I am excited for the taxe changes. I already like the weapon, but I think it will feel even better with them.
how i sleep knowing taxe buffs are coming
what if its new ds
it isnt
and if it was, id become no 2 chainaxe enjoyer
...wait that basically translates to shit chainaxe enjoyer
theyre making it more mobile so its got that factor, if adm is drcent against cara and unyielding it might be one of the best melees
better cara adm was much needed but its not going to break that weapon, except for maybe in zealot hands
the crackhead type weapons tend to be like that
0.5 vs carapace
For vertical heavy atks
I can't imagine the tac axe being particularly broken cept for with BM doing it's thing, but that's a BM issue more then a tac axe one
Yeah that’s literally just BM being BM
Meta is gonna shift to either combat knife or tac axe after the ds nerf its always the high mobillity options people choose
Nah just power sword
Knife for psyker maybe
I personally think DS still going to be up there
DS will still be a top tier pick
Nah they tend to gut weapons when nerfing so they dont have to deal with it again
Looking forward to the parry
Yea but that’s not what they did lol
they haven't done anything yet
Did u read the CN version of patch notes
Tbf who knows what they're actually going to do
which is not confirmed/the final version according to the CM
5 days out
Doubt it’ll change that much
And if smth is to be changed it’s probably for plasma
They might just shelve the plans for the winter patch
That 100 to 10 cleave is crazy work
its weird plasma is getting singled out when the other classes have just as broken ranged/melee options and vet is kinda just locked to plasma for h40s
Who tf pitched that
So, about that part
as far as I am aware they aren't shipping any DS or plasma changes this upcoming patch either way
Most people don’t know this
But plasma only has 1 attack template
There’re a bunch of other attack templates in plasma’s file but they’re for the unreleased other plasma variants
Both hipfire and charged shot use the same attack template, they just have different % charge levels
Hipfire charge level is 52.5%
So it’s really more like
5.25 cleave for hipfire
When they say they nerfed the cleave to 10
Shit even worse
Fucked up but honestly I assume it's just because they're reviewing some human weapons atm
Oof
which I'm ok with
very visible swapping crosshair to helbore one
Single target plasma
I just hope they didn't post upcoming rumbler nerfs to avoid ogryn review bombing
b/c I want that fucking thing gone more than anything else rn
Not in havoc though
the problem of ogryn being op is more the talent tree, like infinite toughness regen on top of its insane dr just makes you invincible in melee
Tbf the rumbler issue is very much a talent tree problem
Ogryn has a lot of problems but the one that's constantly fucking exploding in my face in every single match is the one I'd like to see gone first
the problem with ogryn is that all his weapons are overtuned
cstrike etc
I'd be able to do just the same with old ogryn tree in current havoc
I'd say rumbler isnt even his strongest gun, its the heavy stubber. literally zero talents needed still hits those h40 breakpoints like one shots on gunners
Oh OK nvm then lol
(really wants that 10%Rdmg talent)
I still don't think plasma deserves to get nerfed
Its not about being stronger, its about being in more of my games than ds or plasma or w/e now and being fucking obnoxious and ugly to play with
and no, ur not 1 tapping gunners with heavy stubber without a super specific setup
even without that I still get those one shots with surgical
What’s ur setup
If it doesn’t include deadly accurate then it’s wrong
specific setup is just surgical and uhh not deadly accurate the other one thats it
Opening Salvo?
yup
one shots gunners every crit
only deadly accurate changes anything
I mean if I can hit those one tap breakpoints I don't need deadly accurate
imma just boot up a h40
gunner health 2100 unarmored / 1800 flak
u can't 1hs both flamers and both gunners at the same time with opening salvo
optimal is unarmored + flak/maniac, surgical + DA
if u run 10%Rdmg, u can skip maniac and run flak, otherwise maniac or u can't crit 1hs flamer
without maniac/10%Rdmg it's like 2065 vs maniac on crit headshot
just barely not enough
Sorry but nobody beats bistol at missing breakpoints
Maybe the current shotguns
They said "miss" not "laugh at the concept of"
yup I'm one shotting scab gunners in the head
(I do not use shotguns)
Like I said, u can’t achieve all 3 breakpoints with opening salvo at once
wdym we can achieve sweet oneshots left and right
been a second but BM?
brutal momentum, the blessing

ok it one shot dreg gunners too
Check flamer now
i checked it puts it at one hp but I'm not putting maniac or whatever to push it over the breakpoint just two bodyshots is fine
Hey @tall torrent I have something important to tell you
So like, with the claw changes, is skullcrusher better on it now?
but yeah enough to one tap gunners on h40 without talents is busted
plasma you gotta do like acrobatics on the talent tree to get to the point to one tap gunners
I watched another vet play havoc 31 with weight of fire on a helbore mk V. It was quite the site and now I've been inspired to pick up the helbore more often
Just in time for the update too
@tall torrent Do you have any idea what causes this? IAG instant reload
trying to make an infantry lasgun build (I know, I know, but I like the flashlight), think it’s worth dropping longshot for rending strikes?
When reloading, sprint cancel (tap sprint + forward, then let go of forward) at the last moment of returning charging handle to normal position. It's generally difficult to pull off in live games, but it can drastically speed up the next reload if done right.
Longshot is trash
Thanks for the info, it kept happening randomly I just didnt know the how to replicate it
Well yes
Never longshot
It's called Longshit for a reason lmfao
Tldr poor scaling
I don't use rending strikes for my infantry las build
I recommend going for as many straight up damage nodes if you can
As much as it's a meme, Deadshot is pretty good when you combine it with target down
2b or 7
there's probably better things to get than rending strikes
usually weapons have brittleness perks and such, 10% rending is nothing
Yeah when you get a hang of it, it’s pretty fucking insane on IAGs
Kind of a weird sentiment. Especially since ilas doesn't have brittleness or rending
Yeah and I'd say most weapons don't get access to rending blessings or brittleness lol
Or said blessings aren't good options
Rending helps with the reverse damage falloff on ilas which is nice
the 10% rending isn't going to make it any better at doing the jobs it can't do
It's still giving you a damage boost
Which is what other offensive nodes do as well
It's just a question whether the number is worth it
It often is
But depends on the weapon ofc
how up to date is the pinned doc? The reason I was taking rending is because it was recommended for lasgun there
And what weapon worth it? Fast shooting?
95% up to date
Like few things about vet changed
Well yes, but not exclusively
Low armor damage multiplier
Which means most weapons benefit
Bolter, plasma, crit revolver are prob the main weapons that don't care about rending
Maybe psword too?
But...doesn't it make sense to boost something that already works well?
Im just curious, I occupy a niche with mk1 agri and point and clickin for usual mobs
You want high ADMs
Rending increases adms
And some weapons that have notably low ADMs against certain enemy types also really benefit from rending
Yeah shovel has... other issues 
Me with me shovel krieg: still want me shovel, in spite of it's flaws
will the buffs be releasing alongside Arbites?
It's a likely place for them to release that changes
yea
"Iron Will and Duty & Honor removed because Vets don't deserve good things"
"Nerfed Kraks because "
Nah more like "we are removing the class because Arbites does what the class does but better plus dog"
Fatshark when vets people remember they said vet would get new guns
Shredders are however underperforming so we're buffing those
nerf smoke grenades, buff VoC
Smokes now arm in a business day and the radius is reduced
"VoC now breaks the eardrums of nearby enemies, permanently crippling them"
The Mortis one deal permanent bleeding
So dont give them ideas
How many stacks though 🤔
I never did find out
Yeah, is hard to figure in the middle of all
around 6~8 months out of date
but a lot of things still apply
I wish they'd rework this class before nerfing the plasma gun ngl
I mean, there are no dates confirmed anyway
just that they are looking at them
the shown changes are not final
they ought to look into why veteran is the weakest instead
I'm pretty sure they know why
three qualities to this class: plasma gun, voice of command, ammo regeneration
and one's getting nerfed
well theyre nerfing both weapons of the meta loadout
for h40s
they should probably take a look at the more OP loadouts like inferno or rumbler or the clubs
the other classes have very good options and build variety but veteran hardly gets much choice
And, to be fair, both were fair game for nerfs
aside from the flame staff, plasma is the overwhelming best gun in the game, with rumbler as third
would they nerf VoC before looking into exestance and camo?
I don't think they'll touch VoC for a while
What we can hope for is a stance and infiltrate rework, alongside keystones reworks
Exestance relies on ammo and there's very very little ammo to go around in Havoc, so you have a deadweight ability most of the time because you'll just run out if you use it often. Infiltrate is invisiblity, what's there to say. Such bad designs
If Survivalist was unnerfed for the Veteran, or if the class didn't suffer from the -60% ammo penalty same as everyone else, there would be a lot more leeway
instead Vet is just plasma ammo piss and has zero depth to his gameplay
quite upsetting to think about
It's definitely weird that they singled out plasma to be nerfed at the same time as DS
When really the DS of ranged weapons is rumbler
the DS is a special case, because its the same weapon psyker always had access to
but its only when zealot and vet got it than we realized that, paired with their skills, its broken stupid
the peril on parry sounds good, good for keeping peril up
so, do you either nerf their perks because of one weapon, or nerf the weapon for all
its good on psyker but nowhere as broken
The weapons of the veterans are all very bad. Either the speed of drawing the gun is too slow, or the speed of reloading is too slow. The fatshark weakens the plasma while not enhancing the other aspects. It's just terrible
Flamer or inferno?
both
Vets dont even need to reload weapons if they run weapons specialist, which is partly why plasma is so good, cause it having an insanely long reload time doesnt matter with weapons specialist
skill issue?
even the 'weakest" can be used to beat havoc 40
Eh inferno kinda but flamer but really in aurics and AM
When one of your biggest drawback can be completely ignored, its not a good thing. Its also why the heat mechanic barely matters for plasma, because you arent charging your shots anyway, so really, its free crits and damage at high heat
nah its broken on psyker too
I tried not using plasma, but it turned out to be very difficult. Even five rounds of the revolver couldn't kill the Reaper, and it was also very slow to kill the expert with the bolt gun
Veteran has multiple good alternatives for havoc 40
revolver is bad for havoc
use recon
Bolter and lasgun are both good.
Bolter, my beloved
They buffed the bolter several times in a row and people are still ignoring it over Plasma
you ready path
Something viscerally satisfying about just being able to casually delete a chunk of a horde at a whim
Gamers complaining about something? News at 11
The smart players will adapt, as they always do
they didnt even get the nerf through and they're complaining so much
if I can't do it that means it's impossible
Even my boosted ass could find alternative options, probably
It takes a lot of time to pull out the bolt gun and reload it. Similarly, it is very difficult to use if you don't select a few related talents
I mean, you're veteran. If you arent picking up gun related perks, what the fuck are you doing
btw I did the maths
the plasma changes mentioned in the CN steam patch notes has 1 part that makes no sense
the dmg change?
yea, essentially
current plasma template 700~1400
additional parameter modifier as x1.25 for min, x0.875 for max
so the actual dmg parameter it scales from is 875~1225
in which case, 80% dmg roll gives 1155
the "leaked" change says changed to 800~1000, with no mention of parameter modifier being changed
therefore the new dmg parameter would be 1000~875
where the min value is bigger than the max value
I think the damage nerf is a bit big for regular shot
makes no mathematical sense
Lol wtf
probably because it's still wip and not even half ready for release yet
People are already complaining
Maybe that's one of the reasons they're holding off
The specificly said that these nerfs/reworks are coming in the future
yea
thats odd lol
I don't think DS and plasma changes are coming in 1.8
imo they should just shadow drop these nerfs in a patch
granted, I personally agree with every other plasma change
except the dmg template change
These idiots don't deserve the blog posts describing all the changes
Lets be honest, they are coming later so arbites dlc doesnt get review bombed
who knows lol
idk how they didnt expect a ds nerf people have been calling it busted since day 1 of unlocked and loaded
Personally, I thought flame staff would have been a bigger priority
Still think purg shouldn't have gotten access to blaze away
Nerf it so it applies to direct damage only
still holding off from using it cause it just takes fun away
I use brittle and crit instead
It will gut blaze away making it useless without remove it from the weapon which is impossible
I passed this along to a playtester
Yeah vet stuff in general should be last in line to get nerfs lol
Also let them know PS shouldn't be deactivating when you're hit while swinging 🙏
The fact that burn stacks get damage boosted from blessings is still insane to me. Old ogryns with 32 burn stacks could get so many buffs to thse stacks by shooting the boss
I think it's fine that they get damage boosted by various buffs
Or they could nerf blaze away specifically for purgatus
I don't. DOT should be fixed damage
I told them that like
the week that patch 1.7 went live
Rip hope they remembered lol
How it feels discussing the possibilities of the upcoming nerfs/reworks
I’m all for the M2 glow up
Honestly same
Most smart people think that
They are obviously nerfs
Cause it’s basically DC but knife
not nerfed enough
But it doesn't look like they are gutting it
Still looks more than usable, very strong even
Which just confirms how fucking op ds are currently
Even after nerfs they still look very strong
Helby might have a huge glow up
Unsure
I gotta test on the day the update drops see how drastic it is
The most insane thing about the dual sword changes is that they are not touching its mobility
But it’s making it go from certain taste to playable
they want to keep it mobile
Just halve the blaze away values. From 5-8% to 1-4%. The same way like they nerfed uncanny in leaked patch notes
second best mobility after knife in the game, and its kept that way
Yeah, people are still gonna use it for havoc
dont worry, it aint dead
Nerfed uncanny if it’s on everything
Like uncanny in general
Might make the game a lot more difficult but ACTUALLY fun to play
its fine, dual sword has lots of good perks
uncanny nerf is not hard enough
120% to 60% is def something
I think honestly the flame weapons need like a functional rework if they ever really want to get them balanced, infinite cleave weapons in a game about killing lots of things are generally very good fundamentally
But I would like it to be more
means next to nothing
Make carapace a threat obviously
They arent gonna remove infinite cleave from flame and explosions
I genuinely dont think they can even alter that
They absolutely can
I can think of ways, just don't know how doable they are on a technicaly level
They just wont
flame and explosions do not have cleave
40-20% imo would be fine
Somewhere in that range
20% at most
I know they don't cleave, but you know what I mean
40% still super strong
Talents exist
can but will make them play really weird
Explosions, in particular. It wouldnt make sense if it didnt hit everything in its radius
Hence why they wont
They’ll have to hit the weapon itself somehow
The only notable change they could do is make it so bulwark shields actually stop flames
Personally I think they have the ability to make it not have inf cleave
They’re just putting it on the back burner for now
For some- odd reason
it's fatshark 
It could be Ubi
I’m all for Bulwark shields not having a counter if they could fucking rework bulwarks in general
Make the shield smaller or something
Just some sort of way to be able to open them up or hit them without praying you can hit one when they attempt to swing at you
not worth
In a pack of 4-8
better solution is to reduce attack rate
Probably
Increase the reload length drastically on rumbler
Cause we have to consider BLO and Glugger
I think the first fix is just massively nerfing the interaction between BLO and Rumbler
This would hurt people using it without cheese spam builds
and make it unusable without point-blank
And point blank build will keep shooting 4 grenades with no reload for free
wont do shit when you consider rumbler gets insane when it doesnt need to reload
Yeah that’s why I’m like Rumbler is more than just this
Rumbler is the same it has been for a long time. The issue is that now, you have a consistent and easy way to double/triple shot into crowds with it
Honestly, they should remove the node for guarranted proc after kills
This node doesn't feel that bad
It's like a single shot every 9 melee swings
This node is what allows rumbler to do the insane stuff it does
turns out, its quite easy to get a few stacks
Even without this node rumber will still do the same insane stuff
just kill like 4-5 mobs in a few sings, and now you have a very good chance to get a double shot
they should buff Rumbler more, remove the Survivalist cooldown for Rumbler UwU
I use this node once and then just keep shooting
I still destroy everything because point blank
I say it need a slight carapace adm nerf and a bigger one for unyielding
Make it at least not destroy absolutely everything including bosses
remove the brittleness on explosion from the blessing, and actually do whats written on it, which is only on direct hits
also, remove the damage boost from the sticky nade blessing
Right, this
+15% damage boost on ogryns and bosses, just for picking up the blessing, is stupid
ogryn gets a talent that straight up gives 25% damage to unyielding and 25% damage resistance so its just ogryn balancing
and all those little things stack
It's 30% and it's just ogryns
Not unyielding
thats why ogryn can literally laugh its ass off when it takes a hit, while other classes get brought to borderline no thoughness
damage reduction/thoughness damage reduction, alongside Ogryn passives, turn him into a tank. Same goes for little multipliers al around
the fact that rumbler ALWAYS one shot reapers is insane
doesnt even need to be a direct hit, just 1-2 meters radius on reaper is a guarranted kill
Hey chuckle nuts question about the power sword. What roles would I want for add clear
roles ?
I'm guessing rolls?
perks and blessing
with some of the gunlugger talents, without its like 99% of its hp though
yeah, pretty much
Nah, it one shots on havoc 40 too
maybe because of sticky nade
but it definitely is a one shot
Thank you gents
i'd go elite/ carapace or unyelding, imo
easier to get one hit combo on crushers
^^ ty ty
so plasma changes how are we feeling
Nothing cause its not there yet nor are confirmed

they’re definitely coming i hope you know that
For sure, but we dont know in what details
hence why doing anything except speculation isnt worth it
Fine so far tbh it was a long time coming
I'm curious what changes between live and those early ones
They make no sense and need more work, they are obv wip
But I see their idea and it's good
I mean they make sense there's just some I don't think will make it through
Like
THE SHIELDMAN
this can prob make it through
the cleave getting nuked makes sense but I can still see it going through bulwarks on lights so it has a fun "niche"
the only one that doesn't make sense is the dmg template change
Chinese to English translations will never cease to be funny
tearing my hair out over this stupid ass fucking penance
"Be Methodical"
and also be incredibly selfish by telling your teammates to not engage elites or specialists
"Be Methodical"
and also be incredibly lucky that your 5s timer doesn't break a 5s timer just for the fun of it
i have a slur with Fatshark's fat shark fucking body written all over it
Plasma probably wont get nerfed till they give vets the next weapon
melta gun 
Why is it that everyone has to rely on me, but I can't even expect anyone else to so much as let me grab ammo when I need it
if they dont care about you, then just grab ammo you see if you need it
