infiltrate is...problematic in h40 what with the increased pressure on the team. you gotta be an outstanding player to get enough value from infiltrate to even sort of balance the lack of 1 VoC

#

i like running exec a lot myself, but voc is still meta over it

candid agate
bleak oasis
#

All roads lead to shoutbox

grand perch
#

uh huh

#

then you could have 2 voc instead

tall torrent
#

exe is same point cost as VoC (u don't need any subnode for it) but it's not that great atm
does scale super well for boltgun

infiltrate is paying 2 points to not play VoC

bleak oasis
#

I'm just going to have to consign my exec build to never leaving damnation and calling it a day.

faint beacon
#

Thats the reason why EStance can kinda fly under the radar but obviously its not better than VOC

#

its not as taxing

grand perch
faint beacon
#

Auric/Havoc EStance goes hard

tall torrent
#

also @faint beacon brahms

bleak oasis
#

Feels like it only ever gets value when the AI director spawns a shitload of ranged specialists to constantly feed exec stance, and only on the assumption that they aren't all actively shooting at you, and without anyone running up behind you to distract

Haven't touched Mortis yet. Is it possible to solo?

Or do you have to actually get a party for it

How yall feel about becoming the 5th worse class

Thats what ogryns says

# willow tendon wdym

Weapon Specialist, the right hand side keystone. I guess you could also drop Rending Strikes to get it.

willow tendon
#

why take it with recon though

#

rending strikes is recommended for caxe

severe jolt
#

I maintain that you should go for a keystoneless build.

unreal nova
#

Keystoneless, or base keystone only and grabbing a point elsewhere.

#

FT recon melts, but is better to just hope other vet has it.

calm shard
#

not contender for worst melee weapon in the game anymore

formal ice
tame lodge
#

Was that

calm shard
#

but still definitively low tier

tame lodge
#

A Stab

#

On mk1

calm shard
#

yeah

#

no

#

that's Mk VII

#

Mk I has an overhead after L3 now tho

#

and goes into L3 after parries

tame lodge
#

Oh ok

tame lodge
#

The move set reminded me of mk1

calm shard
# tall torrent Still is

I don't think chainsword is even in the same category as it when it comes to bad weapons anymore

#

chainsword is distinctly a tier below this

#

and this is not that great

tame lodge
#

However

#

6 hits

calm shard
#

It should take 2 if both of your parries crit

#

which it's a devil's claw sword you're running shred

#

that's gonna happen

#

more than not at all

tall torrent
#

Fight 20 Dreg bruisers forever

tame lodge
#

Then again you're waiting to get hit

calm shard
#

I mean yeah in game it'd be a fair bit harder to time parries because god knows if a trash mob is ognna decide to do a 2 frame jab into your face

tame lodge
#

Or if the rumbler is rumbling

calm shard
#

In a vacuum it's okay. In game it might be questionable due to the reliance on the parry for single target damage

#

I do still think this puts Devil's Claw in the same boat as most other low tiers like the shovels though

tame lodge
#

Mk1 moment

tall torrent
#

Shovel has value for gaslighting

#

DC sword doesn’t

calm shard
#

That is being better than the Chainsword

gilded wraith

2nd blessing on helbore after surgical?

shovel is fun vs hordes

#

Is hotshot still flukey?

tall torrent
#

It’s still very bugged

#

If u want to use hotshot

#

Use tier1

calm shard
gilded wraith
#

Any melee that shine with hotshot 1?

tame lodge
#

Rashad

#

Hsword

tall torrent
gilded wraith
#

Thanks!

calm shard
#

God I am still astonished at how bad the Chainsword's damage is

gilded wraith
#

Wasn't sure if it would impact rashad with bm.

tame lodge
#

I know that Rashad sounds weird for this hotshot 1 combo

#

But basically let's you deal damage to 6 horde enemies

tall torrent
#

I think falter has highest consistent value overall for helbore

tame lodge
#

With at least 5 dying on the spot

tall torrent
#

Being able to stagger reaper out of their volley is pretty huge

gilded wraith
#

Have a preference between 3a and 4?

tall torrent
#

I prefer IIIa

#

Azreal also used IIIa

gilded wraith
#

I'll give it a shot.

tame lodge
#

Is the Mk4 bayonet able to stagger Ragers now?

tall torrent
#

IV is really good at chunking big targets and hits breakpoints way easier
However it’s also like, way slower for reactionary shooting so you basically lock urself into playing focus target / marksman’s focus

#

Whereas IIIa can sorta be played with WS if you want to melee a lot

gilded wraith
#

Thank you all for the advice. Wish they had a light extended weapon customization mod.

calm shard
#

only playstyle I could ever need

gilded wraith
#

Just want my ilas sites.

tall torrent
#

Best sight imo is laspistol

#

Put that on everything pls

gilded wraith
#

Definitely makes situational awareness easier.

I do like Vigi's sights

Nuh uh

Also funny bugs

tame lodge

Crashed when exec stance near a mastiff

unreal nova
#

I assume DD would be the same if it were shared.

#

And you just doggo the DD target.

normal bay
#

I was expecting that Focus target bug to stay for months

Who is this new dev team and what have they done with Fatshark?

tall torrent
#

Need them to fix mesh streaming bug for Linux and vostroyan skin for helbore

willow siren

#

Then I’m happy with the update

tame lodge
#

Not because of vet itself

The difficulty changes have me a bit confused.

#

I was playing like diff 3-4 before usually, was starting to dabble in diff 5.

#

Now diff 5 is diff 4?

tame lodge
#

Yeah

willow tendon
tame lodge
#

They killed Sedition and Auric Heresy

#

So you have

#

Uprising, Malice, Heresy, Damnation, Auric

tame lodge
formal hamlet
#

No wonder Damnation felt easier this time, it's basically the old Heresy.

open ravine
unreal nova
formal hamlet
#

Old system confused me even more so I get it, but I was just starting to get the old one and it changed now lol.

tame lodge
#

1.25 becomes 0.25

#

1.5 becomes 0.3

#

Now 0.25 times 6 is 1.5
So Rashad kills 4 targets due to BM
The 5th target takes second target damage, which should be enough to kill it
And the 6th target takes like 99% of their hp

willow tendon
#

Sorry understood none of that lol, I'll remember 4 and 6 though

tame lodge
#

🫡

formal hamlet
#

Do people already know which guns are going to be strongest on Arbiter, or have good builds figured out already, or will time simply tell?

halcyon parcel
#

Hi! Would the Chainaxe be a good substitute for the dueling sword regarding carapace enemies? The duelling sword is kinda boring lol

tame lodge
halcyon parcel
#

Dope its so fuckin badass

tame lodge
#

You also have knife

#

And if you feel like hating your wrists

#

Tactical Axe

#

Although tac axe is eugh

halcyon parcel
#

yeah the clicking is what gets me

halcyon parcel
#

and not having a badass chainsaw

willow tendon
tame lodge
willow tendon
#

it is indeed how it works

tame lodge
#

Still have to test the recent buffs though

formal hamlet
#

Isn't knife the same wrist-wise since you're just clicking heads non-stop?

#

I could be using knife wrong.

tame lodge
#

You use heavies/push attack for carapace

#

So not quite Taxe

formal hamlet
#

Ah okay, yeah I do that, but everything else I'm just spam clicking face until it dies.

tame lodge
#

Although
I gotta check the Mk4 taxe buff

#

The heavies should be better on that one

#

Finally

formal hamlet
#

Any classes got fire resistance or something for this flame event I could use?

#

Especially Veteran.

willow tendon
#

you could slap resistance onto curios chadgryn

formal hamlet
#

Oh yeah. aPES_Think

Oh, surprised I cleared Damnation with flame modifier on my poorly built Arbiter.

It felt pretty easy.

Arbiter OP ArbiGooo

Could be. nodders

#

The shotgun is pretty great.

#

Also the impact grenades that refresh every 60 seconds are pretty nutty.

#

I just toss them at a problem to solve it.

#

Horde, boss, ogryns, whatever.

#

My onlu complaint is, I've been grinding since yesterday when the class dropped and every single game has been 4x arbiter. kek

Lol, it'll settle in time

hollow ibex

it's so dumb how i have to spend 8 hours leveling up yet another character to 30

I like the mines

tall torrent
#

Doesn’t take away ur dps

#

No peril mechanic going on

steep flower
#

otherwise never overload

steep flower
#

But personally; i want the mine arcs to be more… bombastic

#

Everytime i throw one i feel like i’m tossing one of those plasma balls

tall torrent
#

The lengthy deploy time is for balance

#

It’s still way too good

#

Impact nade is slightly better for specific scenarios

ancient path
#

has the accatran combat shotty always been a mini sniper when ADSing or is this a buff moment

steep flower
#

Just keep pressing left click KEKW_ogryn

ancient path
#

alt fire on the accatran combat shotty still feels like "why would i use this" but the shotty kinda fucked in this match i was in

#

Damage buffed by ~8.5% which changed absolutely nothing

#

Great buff

ancient path
#

is this a breakpoint thing

steep flower

#

This buff doesn’t address that inconsistency

#

The other 2 got bigger damage buffs that actually matter at least a little bit

i see i see

i wanna try out the other shotties but i only have a zarona

and the mentioned accatran

heavy rover
#

I heard that the void shields for twins / lieutenant bosses are considered flak, is that true?

narrow frost
#

Really?

tall torrent
#

Void shield is its own armor type (7th armor type)

heavy rover
#

Ah ok

tall torrent
#

And every attack has a void shield ADM

narrow frost
#

That makes sense

tall torrent
#

However this is usually not super relevant because scab contains and cult champions have really strict damage gate per hit

heavy rover
#

Even if you stack brittleness on them?

tall torrent
#

Yes, doesn’t matter

heavy rover
#

Oof

severe jolt
tall torrent
#

The damage gate is unrelated to ADM

#

It’s just a flat damage gate

steep flower
tall torrent
#

The best way to deal with void shield is to max out on the damage gate then hit them really quickly

#

For example, chain weapons’ saw rip attacks

tall torrent
severe jolt
#

I have no idea what's actually best against the voidshield but I've noticed the shock maul's special attacks do a lot of damage against them.

Best I think is eviscerator?

steep flower
tall torrent
#

Specifically for cracking void shield

quiet valley
#

What about Vet 💀

tall torrent
#

Or

#

The slightly funnier pick

#

Helbore bayonet (stab)

quiet valley
#

really Rashad? Better than Chaxe lights?

#

I’ll have to test some stuff out later with it then

heavy rover
#

Another reason why helbore is S tier then KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Chainaxe is rly fast

tall torrent
#

But

#

Chainaxe on veteran

steep flower
tall torrent
#

It has room for improvement

#

Substantial room for improvement, even

#

Shock maul’s special is also apparently pretty fast

#

Haven’t checked

#

But then again it’s shock maul

#

Not great outside of Arbites

#

So for like, actual picks, it’s mostly combat axe / helbore bayonet stab

quiet valley
#

Arby’s was doing great with shock maul when I ran it on Havoc for cap shields

tall torrent
#

Best arbites melee seems to be Rashad

#

Do with that information how u will

#

If u spec emperor’s fist + 25% impact u can open bulwark with heavy overhead on weakspot

#

(This stagger breakpoint is also available from zealot’s grievous wounds)

trying auric but I need something better since my teammates die a lot on this

You don't have toughness generation at the top

swap these

there are better nodes for recon lasgun

still got 1 point leftover

Crit chance node?

#

Above invis

rough cobalt
#

oh yea

#

😅

narrow frost
#

Or you could use that for ogryn/unyield damage

#

Above the center keystone

rough cobalt
#

yea, gonna take that one, could allways use that bonus dmg against crushers and plauge ogryns/beasts

#

one more question, wouldn't krak grenades be better in this situation since this is recon build?

narrow frost
#

Could even remove keystone to get that crit chance node again

narrow frost
#

Krak is anti ogryn and boss stagger

#

Shredder is anti horde and horde stagger

#

What do you want?

rough cobalt

gonna stick with shredder

can allways two-three shot ogryns with dueling

bc after 51% it literally doesnt matter

80% is the cap, you want mobility to be the one at 60%

Oh my god, im sorry my brain made dump stat backwards, thought it was the one I wanted to dump everything in

willow siren
#

4 can be 80 with one at 60, the 60 is the "dump" stat

quartz dirge
#

I get it now, thanks 🙈

#

Just keep going for a 60 mobil, ez peasy

sudden cedar
#

Goes for almost every weapon.

willow siren
#

there are some wild exclusions but are weapon specific, and most of the weird options are on psyker

quartz dirge
#

That makes my life way easier

willow siren
#

bc math

quartz dirge
willow siren
#

nope

#

hte only thing on vet would be some shenanigans with the knife, but i cant remember what those all were

quartz dirge
#

Then I think yall gave me everything I needed to know to start gambling rolling my weaps 😅 Thanks

#

Knifes lack the satisfying presence I crave anyways

#

I was running power sword long ago

willow siren
#

there are also some weird cases with the defense stat

quartz dirge
#

Final roll

sudden cedar
#

You should know however that the Duelling Sword will probably get a significant nerf in the future

willow siren
#

very soon

sudden cedar
#

Soon

#

TM

#

So don't get too attached to how it feels right now

willow siren
#

i've wanted it to be pulled down even when it was pysker specific

quartz dirge
#

I mostly picked it cause of my old saltzpyre gaming days with the poker, odds that itll feel kinda unplayable?

willow siren
#

back then i always felt that itf it went to another class it would get nerfed

quartz dirge
#

Would yall reccomend like, heavy sword or chain sword instead? obv I like swords lol

willow siren
#

imo chainsword, bit im giga biased

#

i dont like heavy swords

#

but i'll at least be honest about that

quartz dirge
#

Hey I dont mind a bias lol

#

Im biased towards swords and las, long as we know the bias is there

rough cobalt
#

chainsword has more sword per sword

quartz dirge
quartz dirge
#

What swords the best at cleaving hordes would you say

willow siren
#

i jsut dont like how ti feels

quartz dirge
#

Very very fair

willow siren
#

i feel the same playing zealot and arbites

#

something doesnt vibe with me

quartz dirge
#

I cant reasonably afford arbites rn, but eventually im very excited to play it, seems so fun

rough cobalt
#

chainsword can cleave through whole horde if you stack up on the blessing that gives + cleave

willow siren
#

see that's the wild part, i think it is fun to play, but im not enjoying it

#

if that makes sense

quartz dirge
#

So ill probably not invest in this dueling sword yet, thinking alot about chain but I disliked it before cause it felt like I just bit into every target and couldnt glide through a horde, its what I liked about power sword way back but it does not feel that way anymore

quartz dirge
sudden cedar
#

There is nothing really wrong with the Duelling Sword in terms of movement set or anything

quartz dirge
#

Maybe its best I cant get arb rn, let it have some time to ferment

sudden cedar
#

Its just.. very much overtuned

willow siren
quartz dirge
quartz dirge
#

I didnt like it then just cause of that, is there a build for it I can try and copy

rough cobalt
#

Wrath + Rampage should make you go thrugh Hordes easily

#

plus 200% cleave on full stacks

willow siren
#

who needs combos when mashing left click is enough

rough cobalt
#

and plus 36% constant dmg in horde

quartz dirge
#

...does discarding a weapon still sell it or do I need to go to someone to sell it

willow siren
#

ah, yes, discarding is "selling"

#

common misunderstanding

quartz dirge
#

Grazie, I swear it used to tell you how much money you were gonna get back

#

Las gun dump stats, are they different enough I should seek out a guide somewhere, or is it there a universal easy one like mobi stat dump

willow siren

#

You have been anointed with blindness

formal hamlet
#

So the strongest Veteran weapons are recon lasgun, plasma gun, anything else?

#

Also, with recon lasgun, can any melee work with it, or do I need something that can deal with havily armoured enemies?

tame lodge
#

Helbore

formal hamlet
#

I love the Helbore, but really?

rotund pond
#

helbore can be annoying to use tbf

tame lodge
#

Yeah
Recent buffs just solidified it as top tier vet gun

rotund pond
#

plasma gun, boltgun/pistol are contenders tho

tame lodge
#

Specially Mk3a

rotund pond
#

a bolt pistol crit build is rlly good

#

tru

unreal nova
#

Forgot to press send lul.

formal hamlet
#

I gave it a try for one mission today, the changes felt nice but didn't think it would make it top tier, that's interesting.

rotund pond
#

if i remembor correctly crits go through armor so any type of crit build can be good

#

a maxed bolt pistol on a weakpoint(headshot) on a mauler does around 577 dmg which is 1/5th of their health and a weakpoint crit does 1065

formal hamlet
#

Not actually sure if mine is a crit build.

#

I got surgical on it, so probably.

rotund pond
#

deadshot, all range crit chance nodes, surgical, enhanced crit weakpoint dmg weapon buff, executioner stance can buff your crit chance and dmg

formal hamlet
#

Does that mean I gotta change this build?

rotund pond
#

play with what ya like

formal hamlet
#

I like Helbore.

rotund pond
#

if ya want better damage* get exe stance

formal hamlet
#

Is it worth using now over VoC?

#

I only really use it with Boltgun for fun.

rotund pond
#

VoC is good for survivability as if you have relics w/ +30% tough regen as you basically regen over-toughness instantly

formal hamlet
#

Oh, didn't know that, pretty cool.

rotund pond
#

id use VoC if you dont have a ogryn in the team

#

if you have all your relics equipped with +30% T regen, you have +90% toughness regen

formal hamlet
#

Oh turns out I do have that already.

#

Must have seen it in a guide or something.

rotund pond
#

i believe there is a hard cap to how fast you can regen toughness though

#

as it averages 1-0.5 seconds to start the regen with said +90%

formal hamlet
#

I got +5% roughness, toughness regen, and ability regen speed.

sudden cedar
#

passive toughness regen is useless

rose dust
#

whats the best weapon atm for vetran

sudden cedar
#

i.e. coherency toughness regen

rotund pond
#

ah lol

sudden cedar
#

I can't recall the specifics, but it is useless

#

compared to every other method

rotund pond
#

coherancy toughness can be a pain in the ass

sudden cedar
#

that every class has in its talents to restore toughness actively

#

No

#

It is not

#

It is useless

formal hamlet
#

So...+30% toughness regen speed...bad?

sudden cedar
#

Yes

tame lodge
formal hamlet
#

What should I replace it with?

tame lodge
#

Helbore 3
Plasma
Zarona revolver
Bolter
Recon lasgun
Vraks5

sudden cedar
#

I have toughness, ability cooldown reduction and stamina regen on my curios

rotund pond
#

ability CD reduction is fun

sudden cedar
#

Some will want to have some type of damage resistance on it

#

And that is fair enough, really

#

By all means, it will at least give you something

#

but i rather avoid the damage all-together

rose dust
#

or just random order

rotund pond
#

it looks to be best to worst

tame lodge
rotund pond
#

from what ive seen lately

#

oh

#

helbore 3 is rlly powerful, aswell as the plasma

tame lodge
#

But top tiers

rotund pond
#

and all zealots ive seen run revolver and knife/duelling sword

sudden cedar
#

I do not run knife or revolver

#

and no duelling sword either

tame lodge
#

Revolver Knife DS is too much single target

rose dust
#

so whats the current best ranged and best melee

tame lodge
#

Psword 6 best melee

#

And for ranged most likely plasma

rotund pond
#

but ya gotta play with what ya like, if you find something thats extremely niche and you enjoy it i say go for it.

tame lodge
#

Lemme see what path says

formal hamlet
#

Decided to try difficulty above damnation or whatever.

#

Instantly get tox gas map mod.

tame lodge
formal hamlet
#

Fuck my life.

rotund pond
formal hamlet
#

Yeah I always just hit quickplay.

rotund pond
#

so funnily enough, while helbore can oneshot crushers with exe stance and crit headshot, bolt pistol does around 2036 dmg which is almost a oneshot

rotund pond
#

4k dmg on a unyielding unarmoured headshot with max surgical and deadly accurate is crazy

#

ye

quartz dirge
#

Howd I just get yelled at for being a "stupid veteran fuck who cant read" cause I was shooting alot during a no ammo pickups mission

I literally never stopped firing the whole match, and never dropped below 400 ammo 😭

rotund pond
#

recon rifle?

quartz dirge
#

Lasbore

rotund pond
#

#

that high crit and no ammo expend on crits is freaky

quartz dirge

Surgical+no ammo on crit with native ammo regen

#

Yeah lmao

rotund pond
#

bro must not have played veteran then

quartz dirge
#

Playing arbites, screamed his head off over the mic at me, saying how im dogshit, cant read, gonna just chain die the moment I ran outa ammo ect ect

#

Started shooting barrels I was near

#

Its been a minute since I played a game with teammates this childish, we won incredibly easily

rotund pond
#

happens sometimes

quartz dirge

Did I find the most toxic player in the game or does this shit just happen

unreal nova

though rarely find anyone with a mic these days

Yeah I gotta rebind it or something, still wouldnt think hearing an I need ammo 1 time would start having a man actively troll and scream at me 💀

#

Taste in mouth after that is bad enough I gotta take a break from the game lol

Is the combat shotgun good now

rotund pond
#

sorta

formal hamlet

Also even though it was off to a shaky start, completed my first auric mission with that gas modifier.

@tall torrent Dont even bother with Vet on Havoc now

#

Pus hardened is back

tame lodge
#

Wdym

faint beacon
#

That or we have to make fucking infernus builds

Just use frags

Shoe horned back into one build for Pus hardened

tame lodge
#

Or dots

faint beacon
#

tame lodge
#

final toll enemies

faint beacon

or rampaging

tame lodge

#

Rampaging actually theoretically gives around 90% Ranged DR

#

with Pus

#

Rampaging + Pus hardened Reapers that refuse to move away from a ranged location

rare garden
#

Smoke would be handy in those situations.

tame lodge

ranged resistant enemies
Not resistant to dots
Use dots
Dots can't burst

just noticed that if people are only looking for arbites to join their games

@faint beacon how is the hellbores and combat shotguns now?

does the curios i have matter

tropic notch

#

cus cant any one be upgrade to max power and have the blessing re rolled

rose dust
#

oh

#

u can change the perk

but not the blessing?

im guessing on ogrin id want... toughness? ability regen?

tropic notch
#

Toughness and health is good as well

i feel like i def need more toughness

my toughness dies way to fast

it realy annoys me u cant un equip them

#

Ay, did my first Auric Maelstrom! ;D

#

Man that difficulty was "woah that was unfortunate timing on that combo" heaven.

#

Would dodge a trapper net by side stepping, only to side step into a sniper shot.

#

And in this case due to the map modifier, would dodge 5 mutants only to get grabbed by the 6th one. kek

brazen dagger
#

I’m only starting to get comfortable on damnation I’m probably gonna get mauled whenever I try auric maelstrom

stuck tree
#

so damn close to getting this for my vet

#

but then 1000 more penances for full helmet

formal hamlet
#

I was trying to get comfortable in damnation but it kinda happened in one day, yesterday. So I've decided to just move up to the next tier.

rotund pond
#

or if your in inferno, 4 flamers, 2 chargers, 2 bombers

sonic kayak
#

I'm so proud crying

lapis osprey
#

is it normal to get 1 hit crusher slam as vet in high havocs or am i building something wrong?

topaz lance
#

Arbites grenade is a straight upgrade compared to the vet frag grenade. Change my mind.

sonic kayak
#

In Havoc, everything does extra corruption damage so the overhead + corruption is instantly killing you

rotund pond
#

crushers and maulers are meant to go through your toughness

lapis osprey
rotund pond
#

and the above overhead corruption

#

vets alot of fun when you invest into them

#

their just being outshone by every other class atm

#

used to be ogryn pre rework

#

arbites rn has the survivability that vet lacks

hollow ibex
sharp epoch
rotund pond
#

arbites is also a impact nade

#

its good against single target and smaller hordes

#

mostly meant for stagger imo

sharp epoch
#

does it stagger monstrosities

rotund pond
#

vets frag nade with the radius and dmg upgrade is rlly good

rotund pond
quiet valley
#

the impact nades?

sharp epoch
#

thats brocken

rotund pond
#

i got tired of levelling up my arbites as it takes twice as long as it did pre battle for tertium

sharp epoch
#

yes

rotund pond
#

ye

quiet valley
#

yea its 5 pocket staggers on 60s cooldown

formal hamlet
sharp epoch
#

more reliable than frags stagger then

rotund pond
#

ye thats the game saying your progressing too fast and trying to catch you off guard

sharp epoch
#

which you need some timing and spacing to do well and you only get 3

rotund pond
#

4* with the upgrade

#

vet frags are meant to get hordes down

sharp epoch
#

yeah but thats point tax that no count

rotund pond
#

vet frags can nuke unarmoured enemies within its epicenter

sharp epoch
#

from what ive seen at least for anything below havoc arbites is really broken

formal hamlet
#

I only went for a maelstrom attempt to get rid of the notification about talking to Commisar Dukane or whatever.

rotund pond
#

arbites has everything that makes ogryn good and vet decent

sharp epoch
#

really strong single talents too like

formal hamlet
#

My maelstrom run was me as Vet with 3x Arbiters. kek

sharp epoch
#

a stacking 30% perma buff that gives dr and damage vs bosses

lapis osprey
rotund pond
#

shield, toughness gain on chained hits, a get off me charge, high stagger nades, stun mines, a dog that provides brittleness and stagger on monstrocities and ogryns

#

vet is rn in a tough spot due to arbites

#

as if people want more survivability theyll just play arbites

#

not to mention that the shotpistol is broken

topaz lance
#

Vets tree is just not as powerful overall

void dragon
gilded rock
#

sharp epoch
rotund pond
#

vets no where as boring as psyker tbf

gilded rock
#

FGS and recon gunker is fun

rotund pond
#

psyker is the only class that after getting to level 30 i cant force myself to play

gilded rock
#

Not a fan of any staves except for electric one

void dragon
topaz lance
sharp epoch
rotund pond
#

then we lost and i had to switch to VoC

sharp epoch
#

book zealot is the most boring ability personally

gilded rock
#

Love exe stance because you just keep both it and Exhillarating Takedown rolling by just clicking heads

#

The toughness rakes in without VoC

void dragon
gilded rock
#

But not as braindead so

rotund pond
gilded rock
#

Tbf ET procs on any head

void dragon
gilded rock
#

You just lose the on Elite/Specialist kill toughness if it's only trash mobs but still got ET

sharp epoch
#

some enemies its pretty hard to hit their head or discouraged like maulers and muties and bosses really just make you unable to gain toughness at all with exe stance

topaz lance
gilded rock
#

I quite like it

#

Infil is probably the least fun and hardest to invest in one

#

Like five upgrade nodes trollskull

#

Otherwise it's just toughness refill and stealth for a few seconds

#

At least it doesn't stop you from sprinting anymore, that sucked so bad

sharp epoch
#

infil is just a worse stealth zealot tbh

gilded rock
#

It's kind of a sidegrade

#

Shroud lasts less time (requires an upgrade for ~same duration), only refills 40% toughness (over time, plus also an upgrade)

#

But in return you get more damage

#

At least on zealot you can IoD spam for Shroud, kinda better than the specialist kill CDR that vet has

topaz lance
#

Easy way to improve the vet tree: remove most of the small stat boost nodes, roll them into the base class

sharp epoch
#

Yup or even get the backstab cdr too

gilded rock
sharp epoch
#

and zealots just way better at melee than melee vet

gilded rock
#

The rending and brittleness on hit can be combined easily

topaz lance
#

remove the "immune to suppression" node - it's the class passive now.

gilded rock
#

I like that zealot leans more melee but both trees need some love

topaz lance
serene bough
gilded rock
#

Not sure if that would be too powerful or not, survivalist is really weird in that it gives so much just for playing the game

#

It used to be crazy before back when it gave more per elite/special

serene bough
#

Problem is survivalist is too good to compete with

formal hamlet
#

Gonna level mastery on infantry lasgun and devil's claw, what perks, blessings and mark for each?

serene bough
#

Should just be innate to vet since everyone is bringing vet for survivalist anyways

gilded rock
#

5% movement speed or 5% damage vs. infinite ammo

#

Coughing baby vs. hydrogen bomb

formal hamlet
#

And anyone know for Devil's Claw?

serene bough
#

Make survivalist 10% weakspot damage and buff the other two (7 .5% dmg fire team and 10% move speed imo)

serene bough
daring rampart
#

Now that Arbites is out I bet in the future we get a nade launcher and heavy stubber shareable between vet and Arbites

#

They both use them and vet is due a weapon wondering if they were waiting for arbiters to drop

serene bough
#

the pinned guide recommends different talents but in my experience i feel this is smoother for IIb ilas

mighty anvil
#

infantry lasgun

#

that needs a huge buff

serene bough
#

i actually think IIb is pretty solid for auric level difficulties

#

havoc is a different animal since it has no way to deal with armor and the breakpoints get all messed up

serene bough
formal hamlet
#

Where my arms go. D:

#

Isn't the IIb the lightest variant? I'm surprised that's the best considering it has the lowest damage. Is it since recoil is far lower so it can stay on target?

rotund pond
#

The blue is the lowest dmg but highest fire rate, green being middle ground, yellow being highest dmg lowest firerate

#

This applies to all guard weapons funnily enough

gilded rock
#

at least you're not one of the 1000 daily psykoids
