I LOVE SPRINTING AND WEAPONS THAT DONT HAVE THAT CLUNKINESS OF STUTTERING MOVEMENT

SKIRMISHER

red robin
#

True

orchid hemlock
#

Arbites? What's that?

red robin
#

Skirmisher haters will hate regardless

red robin
#

Today imma sprint n get hit for it

Finally found a way for skirmisher

Huge or nothing burger for slug shotgun?

unreal nova
#

Is like carrying me, right?

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.

uncut pebble
#

But not for vet. Mainly for zealout.

thick kestrel
#

will still feel nice on Vet in fairness

uncut pebble
#

No more ads requirement for your shotgun to actually kill things with the slug round.

thick kestrel
#

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

midnight totem
#

I just want a little more oomph to vet other then being mostly a shout and ammo aura

clever hedge
#

Recommend trying auto gun vet with an axe

#

Gives gameplay a real run/gun feel that pack a good kick

midnight totem
#

I hate axes

true jackal
#

(just making sure) you are putting Brutal momentum on them yes?

midnight totem
sonic kayak
#

Very tsundere of him

true jackal
#

oh

#

I think we gotta kill you then

sonic kayak
#

With an axe

#

Which is what he wants

#

Don't fall for it

clever hedge
midnight totem
#

I do like the chainsword

clever hedge
#

Play zeolet get a thunderhammer

midnight totem
#

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 chadgryn

#

This vet prefers the "fix bayonets and charge" part

sonic kayak
#

Not very veterinarian of you

midnight totem
#

If I wanted to be a veterinarian I'd be an Arbites

grand perch
midnight totem
#

Btw, do we know if we're getting an additional character slot with the update?

clever hedge
#

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

midnight totem
#

I hope so

#

Lots of people, me included, already use the 5th slot

#

I have a 2nd vet

#

(Who does use an axe, okay?)

sly orchid
#

kitefin said that the slots are being increased for arbites

midnight totem
#

Nice, ty

grand perch
#

theres a mod to get 8 char slots

#

and up to 25 loadout slots per char

narrow frost
#

nearly infinite loadouts

#

since you can change the config file

grand perch
#

i have it set to over 30 but it stops at 25 in game

final zealot
narrow frost
#

yes

narrow frost
#

he does

#

and has like 40 vet loudouts

final zealot
#

Ik there was a mod, but is it as simple as literally just goimg in to the config?

#

Thats funny

narrow frost
#

iirc

#

yes

grand perch
#

yes it is, the mods config

final zealot
#

Ahhh, thought yall meant the base game config file kekw

loud belfry
#

who knows what happens to them all when the game updates tho

grand perch
#

nothing

#

the file with the loadouts is stored separately

true jackal
#

what a stupid poll, those aren't the final changes

gilded wraith
#

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.

true jackal
gilded wraith
#

See my last sentence 😁

true jackal
#

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

gilded wraith
#

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.

topaz lance
#

The final changes to DS and plasma will be buffs actually

dry cloak
#

earlier i have seen someone posting darktide has mixed reviews

#

its about the plasma and ds being nerfed aint it

faint beacon
#

Review bombing from possible Plasma and DS nerfs

true parcel
#

just why

dry cloak
#

people are fucking stupid

faint beacon
#

Literally took the words out of my mouth

#

They’re not even nerfs

#

They’re reworks

#

Lmao

hollow ibex

#

with emphasis on may

true parcel
#

well that none know

dry cloak
#

fatshark knows

faint beacon
#

Name one person that unironically used Plasma M2

dry cloak
#

i did

faint beacon
#

Over M1 spamming

true parcel
#

ive mostly stuck to the pistol so xD

dry cloak
#

laspitol? bolt pistol?

winter sluice
#

I like the revolver. Rev veteran with a speed loading build is very fun

#

That and a smoke nade meme build

neon current
#

I mean

#

I don't think smoke is a meme at this point

#

it's a ghetto bubble

winter sluice
#

No I mean like I take all the grenade talents to spam smokes

#

It's very fun

#

Effective probably not. But fun

orchid hemlock
faint beacon
#

I’d say it’s like a side grade bubble

#

Cause smokes don’t drop from damage

hybrid island
#

It's bubble saver

#

You drop one next to it so that random gunner does not shred the shield in 10 seconds

faint beacon
#

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

hollow ibex
#

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 KEKW_ogryn KEKW_ogryn KEKW_ogryn

faint beacon
#

I mean we have plasma

#

That’s borderline infinite cleave

#

But it’s not AOE

hybrid island
#

You don't gotta keep everything you want in Havoc

faint beacon
#

You can use anything in havoc

#

You just have to learn positioning and triggers

#

As well as the modifiers

hybrid island
#

You can focus on doing a few really good but better leave rest to others

hollow ibex
severe jolt
#

if you think it's too hard
just lower the difficulty
simple as

neon current
#

but my momma said I'm awesome

#

I am entitled to play the hardest difficulty

faint beacon
#

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

neon current
#

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

dry cloak
#

yup

neon current
#

I've seen so many H40 not even aware of dodgeslide existing

faint beacon
#

Literally

neon current
#

the amount of H40 that jumps instead dodge indicating we know what

#

is astonishing

faint beacon
#

I’m clearing H40 with Vigilants and Taxe it feels a lot more rewarding

dry cloak
#

vigis

grand perch
#

hes a true vigilante

dry cloak
#

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?

orchid hemlock
#

Me who uses the power sword and Rashad: 🤷🏻‍♂️

severe jolt
#

I got carried through H40 and I don't even use the title&insignia because I feel like I didn't actually earn them.

faint beacon
#

So called worthless gains carrying their own weight when used correctly

#

Lmao

The Taxe enjoyers: in glee
The virgin DS simps: in shambles

open ravine
dry cloak
#

he is galeophobia

open ravine
#

Also why are people who don't use plasma so salty about it and want it nerfed

midnight totem
#

Gale speaks for Gale

faint beacon
#

I have the hours to back up what I’m saying that and I’m also a free spirit

#

I say as I please

normal bay

open ravine
#

Feels like when zealot players wanted vet nerfed

tame lodge
dry cloak
#

a lot of not so good players only survive on higher diccilties because of op abilities and weapons

void dragon
#

Learning the Plasma had so much cleave was crazy

dry cloak
#

those weapons beiing plasma and DS onv et

open ravine
#

And even then it's not constant

dry cloak
#

cleave

tame lodge
#

So
Exactly how you should play vet

#

Aiming for weakspots

dry cloak
#

its the single weapon that can cleave carapace without blessings

tame lodge
#

Lovely

faint beacon
#

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

void dragon
#

Shoot a crusher, see it stumble, repeat for free win engagement

faint beacon
#

How it was intended to be used

#

Not an M1 spam machine

normal bay
midnight totem
#

I dont see any m2 buffs in their evaluatory notes

#

I'll be happy if that was the case though

void dragon
#

The joy

tame lodge
#

😭

faint beacon
dry cloak
faint beacon
#

This is still in the works and is theoretical

grand perch
#

remember when bolter shot bullets smaller than revolver

faint beacon
#

So it could be changed

midnight totem
#

Gotcha

void dragon
open ravine
#

M2 is rubbish on plasma it uses too much ammo for the damage it delivers and is too slow when it gets hairy

faint beacon
#

Yes and why do you think people only M1 spam

void dragon
#

Has anyone actually tried to use M2 only on Plasma?

tame lodge
#

Yeah

dry cloak
#

i did

tame lodge
#

It's ass

dry cloak
#

to do wallbangs

midnight totem
#

I still want power fist for vet

true jackal
#

I love when my tank destroying fucken giga blaster is just used to spam out regular shots

tame lodge
#

Too much waiting

open ravine
dry cloak
#

so what will it be

true jackal
midnight totem
true jackal
#

not just nerfing it

dry cloak
#

basically assail cahnge that ners m1 and buffs m2

#

or bigger rework

#

that plasma need because its bland as fuck

open ravine
#

It uses 3 uncharged shots worth of ammo for just shy of of 2 uncharged shots worth of damage

void dragon
#

So M2 should be buffed even more to make it worth

#

That's an agreement so far, right?

nimble hazel
#

I'll second that

true jackal
#

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

midnight totem
#

Power fist power fist power fist

open ravine
true jackal
#

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

dry cloak
true jackal
#

yeah, and that's fine because ideally it'll still push the weapons into a useful niche

open ravine
true jackal
#

the leaked changes mean nothing

nimble hazel
#

Aaand it's worth noting that those leaked changes aren't coming in the next patch, so they're very not set in stone

true jackal
void dragon
#

Remember when ogryn charge was gonna ignore nets?

serene bough

#

havoc just isnt balanced as well by design, its supposed to be more chaotic and bloated

gilded wraith
void dragon
open ravine
faint beacon
#

I don’t see the issue with the changes that might be happening

serene bough
#

hence why high cleave and survival abilities are taken more often than not

orchid hemlock
gilded wraith
#

Wait, I read that wrong.

true jackal
#

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

faint beacon
true jackal
#

people raged about the PS changes, (it's still one of vets best weapons)

dry cloak
#

also remember

open ravine
faint beacon
#

Besides you can’t tell me it doesn’t feel great charging M2 up and then blasting something off the face of the earth

dry cloak
#

using m2 can cause you to blow up

nimble hazel
faint beacon
#

I don’t like it cause it’s not interactive

open ravine
#

I have used plasma since beta and the version we have today is by far the best version of the weapon

serene bough
#

yeah plasma really became such a terribly boring weapon

void dragon
true jackal
gilded wraith
serene bough
#

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

faint beacon
#

That and it’s not interactive at all

#

Bolter has Oomph behind it when you use it, Plasma it’s genuinely white noise

orchid hemlock
#

Ah yes very small change

void dragon
faint beacon
#

That’s why I’m all for M2 being buffed cause like you actually feel like you’re firing a beam

faint beacon

4 targets getting dropped isn’t a death sentence dude

Holy doom and gloom

orchid hemlock
#

Gale are we on the same page?

void dragon
#

Def not

serene bough
#

im overall looking forward to balance changes

#

thats all i can say

void dragon
#

It's all we all can say, ObeseFish hasn't revealed their hand yet

orchid hemlock
#

I was referring to this:

serene bough
#

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

faint beacon
#

If a weapon gets to a point it trivializes any match it’s in

orchid hemlock
#

This is very "minor" everyone

faint beacon
#

It’s needed to be nerfed

orchid hemlock
#

Trust trust trust

faint beacon

Realizing this is the Evis

I have yearned for the critviserator since launch

orchid hemlock
#

But now

#

It does damage

#

Tac Axe buffs also look insane

#

I'm finally going to destroy my wrist

faint beacon
#

Could do either sides

#

Either more Crit to shit out damage or Stalwart to be Ogryn but smaller

orchid hemlock
#

Hell I'm sure regular EVIS is gonna rip

severe jolt
#

if they remove the cleave limit on eviscerator it's gonna be the next DS

true jackal
#

I mean they are doing that

faint beacon
orchid hemlock
#

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

tame lodge

I mean

He thinks he's on the team

and that's why we love havoc

#

even if you do everything right

faint beacon
#

Fentbob Methheadpants

neon current
#

sometimes you just get fucked in the ass

faint beacon
#

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

neon current
#

yep

neon current
#

doing brainless dmg does not take much skill in DT

#

staying alive when shit hits the fan does

midnight totem
#

you know, I haven't played much with the autopistol lately

serene bough
#

Its good at swatting away maniacs

I like Blaze calvacade for bosses

neon current
#

huh

#

shredder has almost 0 crit dmg

#

cavalcade does nothing

faint beacon
#

Lmao

autopistol has a flashlight
the only pistol that does
that's what makes it so good

#

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:

midnight wyvern
#

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

hollow ibex
neon current
#

is what I mean

#

it's +50% at best

severe jolt
neon current
#

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

hollow ibex
neon current
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Looks like 60 percent for the majority of them

#

Which is pretty high?

neon current
#

nah

#

it's not

#

I don't usually bother going for crits unless its around +100%

hollow ibex
#

Recon is like 30 percent iirc

void dragon
#

Isn't the Vraks, which has similar ISH stats 150% on crits?

neon current
#

ye recon has low crit dmg

#

laspistol has high

#

but you go crit on recon for infernus

#

not the extra crit dmg

grand perch
#

shredder has average finesse modifier at 1.5

hollow ibex
#

I agree that pinning fire is the best second blessing generally

grand perch
hollow ibex
#

But calvacade is very nice for boss mag dumping

#

Which is what I mostly use SAP for tbh

void dragon
grand perch
#

finesse modifier of 1.5 is +50% damage from base on crit

hollow ibex
#

But SAP gives 60 percent on crit right?

sharp epoch
grand perch
#

im not sure what SAP is referring to rn

#

oh shredder AP itself

narrow frost
#

shredder auto pistol

#

sap

sonic kayak
#

Significant Another Person, ez

grand perch
#

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%

midnight totem
#

auric run with autopistol

#

eh, kinda fun

#

just a little handheld smg

true jackal
#

it's like almost there

odd sparrow
#

being able to sprint shoot is nice

midnight totem
#

yeah

#

Can't pick off gunners at range

true jackal
#

if it was more precise it'd be very nice

midnight totem
#

but I can dance with them at mid range

true jackal
#

but alot the guns in this game act like they are actually being fired from the hip when you aren't adsing

midnight totem
#

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

i'd be using VOC regardless of how good it is tbf

i fucks with being supportish

exec stance is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

He’s gassing up the incredibly niche and situational build again

unhinged people drag others down into the madness

Situational? Like when there are enemies on the screen? KEKW_ogryn

You will take determined

true jackal

not even suppression it just does that

faint beacon

You will be happy

my halo reach DMR self using a semi auto weapon at close range wants to shine once more

Next patch helbore is better

Helbore will be better

At the cost of being sluggish dodge wise

I can work with that

Yeah

true jackal

that stuff is heavy

neon current

I saw in some YT vid that the wooden helbore skin has much better sights aye?

neon current

p2w

faint beacon

The Vostroyan and Krieg skins are P2W

neon current

krieg too?

faint beacon
#

They have better irons

It’s why

ye the wood one looked much improved

those sights arent original wooden skin helbore though

yeah shit build sry Sitgryn

meh

I don't wanna use that mod

tame lodge
#

This one?

neon current
#

is that the base wooden sight?

faint beacon
#

For vostroyan yes

neon current
#

still better than OG

neon current
#

only wooded differs out of those

faint beacon
#

Bottom left iirc

neon current
#

oh I see what you mean

#

the front sight is better

#

the rail is the same

faint beacon
#

It’s extremely minimal

#

But it’s sights are really nice

#

Bigger sight picture

#

Vs Vostroyans non existent but very open one

neon current
#

I mean, I like the block

#

makes it easier to find the sight in a chaos

#

old man eyes

faint beacon
#

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

neon current
#

hold your horses, I'm not gonna start using em

#

they needed a cleave buff, not a handling one

faint beacon
#

Hotshot

#

It’s actually nice pairing with IIIa

neon current
#

roflno

slow spade
#

clearly they just need to revert the bayonet nerfs thumbsup_ogryn

the bayonet should be able to 1-tap ragers

still nothing

#

Why does everyone think every ranged weapon should get super high cleave

void dragon
#

Plasma and it's 100 frigging cleave

topaz lance
#

I am excited for the taxe changes. I already like the weapon, but I think it will feel even better with them.

grand perch
#

how i sleep knowing taxe buffs are coming

sharp epoch
grand perch
#

it isnt

#

and if it was, id become no 2 chainaxe enjoyer

#

...wait that basically translates to shit chainaxe enjoyer

sharp epoch
#

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

grand perch
#

better cara adm was much needed but its not going to break that weapon, except for maybe in zealot hands

true jackal
#

the crackhead type weapons tend to be like that

tall torrent
#

For vertical heavy atks

true jackal
#

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

tall torrent
#

Unyielding adm unchanged

#

Still not that good vs monsters

tall torrent
#

Knife for psyker maybe

tame lodge
#

I personally think DS still going to be up there

tall torrent
#

DS will still be a top tier pick

sharp epoch
#

Nah they tend to gut weapons when nerfing so they dont have to deal with it again

tame lodge
#

Looking forward to the parry

tall torrent
sharp epoch
#

they haven't done anything yet

tall torrent
#

Did u read the CN version of patch notes

hollow ibex
#

Tbf who knows what they're actually going to do

sharp epoch
#

which is not confirmed/the final version according to the CM

tall torrent
#

5 days out

#

Doubt it’ll change that much

#

And if smth is to be changed it’s probably for plasma

hollow ibex
#

They might just shelve the plans for the winter patch

tame lodge
#

That 100 to 10 cleave is crazy work

sharp epoch
#

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

tame lodge
#

Who tf pitched that

tall torrent
true jackal
tall torrent
#

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

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

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

sharp epoch

#

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

tall torrent

opening salvo changes nothing for achlys heavy stubber breakpoints

wasted pick

one shots gunners every crit

tall torrent

only deadly accurate changes anything

sharp epoch

I mean if I can hit those one tap breakpoints I don't need deadly accurate

tall torrent
#

yea that's the thing

#

it can't

#

u can do the math urself

sharp epoch
#

imma just boot up a h40

tall torrent
#

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

So like, with the claw changes, is skullcrusher better on it now?

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

#

usually weapons have brittleness perks and such, 10% rending is nothing

faint beacon
grand perch
hollow ibex
#

Yeah and I'd say most weapons don't get access to rending blessings or brittleness lol

#

Or said blessings aren't good options

grand perch
#

Rending helps with the reverse damage falloff on ilas which is nice

unreal forge
hollow ibex
#

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

viral trench
#

how up to date is the pinned doc? The reason I was taking rending is because it was recommended for lasgun there

lucid ginkgo
tame lodge
#

Like few things about vet changed

tame lodge
hollow ibex
#

Which means most weapons benefit

#

Bolter, plasma, crit revolver are prob the main weapons that don't care about rending

#

Maybe psword too?

tame lodge
#

And shovel iirc

#

Maybe because shovel has uncanny or something

#

Idk

lucid ginkgo
#

Im just curious, I occupy a niche with mk1 agri and point and clickin for usual mobs

hollow ibex
#

Rending increases adms

#

And some weapons that have notably low ADMs against certain enemy types also really benefit from rending

We can save that for another day

#

I wish they'd rework this class before nerfing the plasma gun ngl

brittle turtle
#

I mean, there are no dates confirmed anyway

#

just that they are looking at them

#

the shown changes are not final

unreal forge
#

they ought to look into why veteran is the weakest instead

brittle turtle
#

I'm pretty sure they know why

unreal forge
#

three qualities to this class: plasma gun, voice of command, ammo regeneration

#

and one's getting nerfed

sharp epoch
#

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

unreal forge
#

the other classes have very good options and build variety but veteran hardly gets much choice

brittle turtle
#

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

unreal forge
#

would they nerf VoC before looking into exestance and camo?

brittle turtle
#

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

unreal forge
#

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

hollow ibex
#

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

tall torrent
#

flame weapons

brittle turtle
#

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

unreal forge
#

the peril on parry sounds good, good for keeping peril up

brittle turtle
#

so, do you either nerf their perks because of one weapon, or nerf the weapon for all

tall torrent
#

it's broken for all

#

hence nerf for all

brittle turtle
#

its good on psyker but nowhere as broken

unreal forge
#

it definitely is

#

psyker can get very massive damage amps

fleet vale
#

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

even the 'weakest" can be used to beat havoc 40

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

what talents do you need to use bolt gun?

I mean, you're veteran. If you arent picking up gun related perks, what the fuck are you doing

tall torrent
quartz girder
#

the dmg change?

tall torrent
# quartz girder 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

brittle turtle
#

I think the damage nerf is a bit big for regular shot

tall torrent
#

makes no mathematical sense

tacit sonnet
#

People are already complaining

hollow ibex
#

Maybe that's one of the reasons they're holding off

tacit sonnet
#

The specificly said that these nerfs/reworks are coming in the future

tall torrent
#

yea

quartz girder
#

thats odd lol

tall torrent
#

I don't think DS and plasma changes are coming in 1.8

tacit sonnet

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

idk how they didnt expect a ds nerf people have been calling it busted since day 1 of unlocked and loaded

Still think purg shouldn't have gotten access to blaze 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’m all for the M2 glow up

brittle turtle

I think the dual swords changes are awesome

#

parry on it? Yes please

faint beacon
#

Honestly same

tacit sonnet
#

They are obviously nerfs

faint beacon
#

Cause it’s basically DC but knife

tall torrent
#

not nerfed enough

tacit sonnet
#

But it doesn't look like they are gutting it

#

Still looks more than usable, very strong even

tall torrent
#

change duelling sword's block template to use crusher's

tacit sonnet
#

Which just confirms how fucking op ds are currently

#

Even after nerfs they still look very strong

faint beacon
#

Helby might have a huge glow up

#

Unsure

#

I gotta test on the day the update drops see how drastic it is

brittle turtle
#

The most insane thing about the dual sword changes is that they are not touching its mobility

faint beacon
#

But it’s making it go from certain taste to playable

true jackal
#

they want to keep it mobile

tacit sonnet
brittle turtle
#

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

faint beacon
#

Nerfed uncanny if it’s on everything

#

Like uncanny in general

#

Might make the game a lot more difficult but ACTUALLY fun to play

brittle turtle
tall torrent
#

uncanny nerf is not hard enough

faint beacon
#

120% to 60% is def something

true jackal
#

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

faint beacon
#

But I would like it to be more

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

Make carapace a threat obviously

brittle turtle
#

I genuinely dont think they can even alter that

tacit sonnet
#

They absolutely can

true jackal

I can think of ways, just don't know how doable they are on a technicaly level

Talents exist

tall torrent
brittle turtle
#

Explosions, in particular. It wouldnt make sense if it didnt hit everything in its radius

tacit sonnet
#

Hence why they wont

faint beacon
#

They’ll have to hit the weapon itself somehow

brittle turtle
#

The only notable change they could do is make it so bulwark shields actually stop flames

faint beacon
#

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

true jackal
#

it's fatshark susgryn

supple mortar
#

It could be Ubi

faint beacon
#

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

faint beacon
#

In a pack of 4-8

tall torrent
#

better solution is to reduce attack rate

faint beacon
#

Probably

#

Increase the reload length drastically on rumbler

#

Cause we have to consider BLO and Glugger

hollow ibex
#

I think the first fix is just massively nerfing the interaction between BLO and Rumbler

hollow ibex
tacit sonnet
#

And point blank build will keep shooting 4 grenades with no reload for free

brittle turtle
faint beacon
brittle turtle
#

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

tacit sonnet
#

It's like a single shot every 9 melee swings

brittle turtle
#

This node is what allows rumbler to do the insane stuff it does

#

turns out, its quite easy to get a few stacks

tacit sonnet
#

Even without this node rumber will still do the same insane stuff

brittle turtle
#

just kill like 4-5 mobs in a few sings, and now you have a very good chance to get a double shot

slow spade
#

they should buff Rumbler more, remove the Survivalist cooldown for Rumbler UwU

tacit sonnet
#

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

brittle turtle
#

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

brittle turtle
#

+15% damage boost on ogryns and bosses, just for picking up the blessing, is stupid

tacit sonnet
#

Well, I am picking the blessing

#

Not just

#

It's not absolutely free

sharp epoch
brittle turtle
#

and all those little things stack

tacit sonnet
#

Not unyielding

brittle turtle
#

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
