Just hope other player is willing to deal with the specials from the back.

#

I wish they nerfed the numbers on those like they did with arby.

#

2500 kills is hell.

#

Part of me may try to use recon and just get 15 stacks and sit there unloading.

#

Doesn't help atm that I'm getting the dumbest teams tonight

unreal nova
#

No, do not do 15 stacks.

#

I like veteran but after playing arbitrator all of these classes need a rework, they should not feel this weak.

unreal nova
#

Not worth.

I played veteran earlier in the game when it released then took a massive break, like a year long break and it felt way stronger then than it does now.

True but you have to shoot more, the quicker u can get rid of bullets and use melee then beat the mission the better usually

#

Am I missing something or is the shovel's special attack hilariously pointless?

grand perch
#

Which shovel

normal bay
uneven cedar
#

The sapper.

unreal nova
#

Mk 3 and 7 is crack armored.

uneven cedar
#

Oh I think my game's UI bugged when testing it out in the Psykanium.

#

I thought I swapped from the mk1 to the mk3 but I didn't.

#

I like the mk3 special.

#

This is fun.

lost silo
#

do i need +2 stam on melee weapon

uneven cedar
#

It would depend on your build.

#

I don't think so generally speaking.

unreal nova
#

Mk7 tries to be mk 1 and mk 3 but it does both worse.

uneven cedar
#

Only just started a veteran so I haven't got the mk7 unlocked yet but the mk3 is very fun.

#

I only wish it's attack patterns weren't so brainless.

unreal nova
#

Mk 1 is purely for horde cc, mk 3 is focused on killing crushers and arnoured.

lost silo
unreal nova
#

2 fold heavy to kill auric crushers.

uneven cedar
unreal nova
#

Try skullcrusher and decimator. Cara flak.

uneven cedar
#

I am intrigued.

unreal nova
#

Don't need uncanny.

uneven cedar
#

It's always skullcrusher lmao.

lost silo
#

also is better to go %25 flak and cara or %25 unarmoured and cara

unreal nova
#

Just hit heads.

normal bay
uneven cedar
unreal nova
#

I prefer flak to ensure deletion of every special and gunners in 1 fold heavy.

lost silo
#

unarmoured is it

#

uh oh

#

2 opinions

#

i'm confused

uneven cedar
#

Go with theirs.

lost silo
#

okah

uneven cedar
#

There's a reason why I'm giving an opinion.

unreal nova
#

You can try it out to see your preference.

uneven cedar
#

I only just unlocked Havoc like 2 days ago lmao.

#

I learning.

#

But the shovel kinda sucks at unyielding anyway so I don't think is worth.

I regret nothing (my horde clear sucks)

I'm generally offering a more general one where you can still clear hordes because deci.

when should i start a new class ?

uneven cedar
#

When you want to.

lost silo
#

ok then

#

I levelled up all my classes at the same time

#

You can have up to 8 characters.

I don't understand decimator, I put it on my shovel and it doesn't kill every 10th man in a platoon

does devil claw sword special can counter boss attack?

You shouldn't actually run unless you need to buy the team time to clean up. Block 3 attacks then dodge. If you run and dodge desperately, it's very hard to hit the damn thing

@tall torrent You gonna add that Deci/skull works on mk3 as well?

#

It's basically the same breakpoints as uncanny.

half ginkgo
#

Speaking about shovels - what would be the roll on Mk7, if paired with Plasma/Boltgun? Skullcrusher + Deci, Flak + Maniac, Defense dump?

steep flower
grand perch
#

Also don't try to block it's blows while holding a grenade

#

I've found that doesn't work

tacit sonnet
#

Ideally you go into psykanium and learn it's attacks, dh's comboes are pretty simple

#

When it stops attacking, you get your dodges back

red fox

#

Best weapons for Havoc besides plasma and dueling sword?

dry niche
half ginkgo
#

Recon, knife. Boltgun may work. PSword and CSword have potentials but imo risky. I am still testing Mk3 and Mk7 shovels

red fox
dry niche
#

The projectile for the revolver feels almost as big as the plasmas, go play around with it in meatgrinder

tall torrent
#

Recon is always easy tho

half ginkgo
#

I haven’t played too much with Helbores after the buff. Is Mk5 still the go-to version?

tall torrent
#

No

#

IIIa or IV

#

Can hit 1 taps in havoc scaling

#

Which makes them the best guns

half ginkgo
#

Thank the Emperor, never was a fun of Mk5. Mk4 was always my jam. Now I just need to figure out if it can also work with shovel, for obvious reasons

tall torrent
manic moon
half ginkgo
#

Lol, PSword never left my loadouts since OBT

manic moon

what to put on the guns

If IIIa had 60 more damage then I’d run elite over unarmored

manic moon
#

shout+ no keystone?

sudden cedar
#

@red fox Recon Lasgun is amazing in applying Burn DoT on things. Helps to conserve ammo and also bypass damage reductions for ranged attacks.

tall torrent
#

It’s a front heavy keystone anyway

#

If u run IV I think go with focus target

manic moon
#

ty imma try those out

#

can u dm me a talent build for those?

half ginkgo
#

This makes sense. Need to drop in grinder later and see what to put on 4 in addition to unyielding

manic moon
#

im in desperate need fo something else for my vet for havocs

tall torrent
half ginkgo
tall torrent
#

U can swap marksman for smth else it’s up to preference

#

Helbore rn is essentially Ogryn’s achlys heavy stubber but with 100x better ammo econ

#

Which makes it the best sniping gun in the game

sudden cedar
#

No Field Improv

tall torrent
#

Mid talent

sudden cedar
#

Its value is beyond compare.

half ginkgo
# tall torrent Just a basic hybrid build

I think this is for Mk3a, right? For Mk4 I would drop Superiority and Marksman and path to Bring it Down + Focus Target. Question if Focus is needed for any BPs on 4

tall torrent
half ginkgo
#

Just focus right? With no augments to it?

tall torrent
#

Redirect or target down

#

8 stacks is pretty bad

#

IIIa breakpoints

#

IV breakpoints

#

U can do the maths from there

#

Core breakpoints for ranged in havoc are
2100 unarmored
2100 maniac
1800 flak

half ginkgo
#

Thank you, much appreciated

Unarmored gives 1hs Dreg gunner without crit

I don’t enjoy playing recon cuz it’s just spray and doesn’t need headshot
U can spec hard into it or just bring it as backup for melee build it’s kinda up to u

past stratus
#

I want to try a "I'm just here to help" build, where I take all of the coherency talents, field improv, those FT nodes that buff your team when the target dies. Get a gun to just spread brittleness, maybe use smoke grenades

Just follow my team around shouting

also let's be real here, most players are less useful than the arby dog. How many of them will without fail, consistently murder enemies, never die, never consume any resources, never make any mistakes.

#

I mean if you want a fun meme, try the helbore mk V with weight of fire and armourbane

#

It shoots charged shots stupid fast, and you'll be stacking brittleness for every shot

#

I may or may not be biased towards the helbore KEKW_ogryn

#

I should probably update my name on this server to include #1 helbore fan or something

past stratus
#

I love the helbore when I'm actually trying, I was more thinking of something like the flame staff brittleness spread, idk if Vet has anything equivalent

heavy rover
#

Ah

#

Yeah not really for that case

#

Unless you run something like recon with onslaught talent but that's not really ideal

half ginkgo
#

@tall torrent if you run WS on IIIa Helbore, would you still run Surgical as your 2nd blessing?

#

Been trying to make hellbore work but it just feels so sluggish to me coming from a former chronic revolver user lol

half ginkgo
#

I feel WS may be OK on IIIa, but I would for sure go Focus Target on IV. Reason I am asking all of this, is I am currently a bit stuck and bored on work, so trying to frankenstein something of a build to test later

#

yeah, I feel ya. I am also getting bored of just running Plasma/Boltgun/Recon in high Havoc, so looking for a switch

tall torrent
half ginkgo
#

kk, ty, I will try to test it later and will see how it plays

#

although, I am pretty much running high havoc with a pre-made so YMMV

heavy rover
#

I would gladly vouch for running the helbore on havoc

#

I've done havoc 40 with it

tall torrent
#

Hotshot is funny and I wish it wasn’t bugged

#

WoF always decent pick

past stratus
#

I enjoyed Hotshot when I used it, it feels forgiving

manic umbra
#

what’s the play style hybrid/WS hellbore builds supposed to be like

half ginkgo
#

never played too much with the hotshot. what's the appeal here? make it feel like mini-plasma?

grand perch
#

It applies to your melee as well

#

Also it's bugged so the tier 1 blessing gives the best value

past stratus
#

this might be wrong but WS to me is the keystone that best illustrates how you should be playing DT. You do a bunch of melee then you pull your gun for a few seconds to deal with dangerous or far away threats

#

So the play style is always kind of locked into that

half ginkgo
#

yup, and Reciprocity, Desperado and Trench Fighter Drills are just 3 very good perks. So if I can path to grab these without gimping the build too much, I am always happey to do it

past stratus
#

I really wish those nodes were better positioned, maybe in the middle of the tree

yeah, agreed. I hope vet rework comes out after the zel.

What’s the target prio with hellbore

Obvs specialists and shooters first, but does it have any place vs melee elites?

tall torrent
#

IV can normally one tap scab rager to the head without crit

#

However this is not smth I would count on

#

Rager headshots are finicky

#

Bring a melee that can stagger groups of them

#

As for carapace and ogryn enemies

#

Melee is ur better solution

manic umbra
#

Fair enough

#

Guessing it’s too slow for reapers as well

tall torrent
#

Well

#

U kill them in 2 headshots with IIIa if 1 crit

#

And usually 1 crit headshot with IV

#

Falter also allows u to stop their ranged attack on headshot (only for IIIa and IV)

#

Helbore is about as cracked as it gets for sniping them

half ginkgo
#

Yup, also +unyielding (and maybe +elites) on IV, although for IV specifically Surgical + WoF would be my pick

tall torrent
#

V is just shy of a little bit of damage to be good

#

When veteran gets a talent tree that doesn’t make damage juicing a pain I think all 3 will be top tier

#

But rn it’s just IIIa and IV that are top tier

half ginkgo
#

The thing about V - when you see it (along with shovel) on a teammate, expect to put extra work in this pug KEKW_ogryn

#

Now, I just got completely random thought - is it possible to make a Havoc 40 vet build using Infantry Lasgun/Heavy Laspistol? 🤣

iron marten
#

H40 with markv helbore is fine

#

Though the helbore4 is still better

iron marten

#

I don’t like helbore IV as much
It sorta soft locks u into dedicated left/middle build

Doesn’t play that well with WS

I just wish the bayonet of the helbore4 wasn't that

Heinous Ritual is one of the worst fucking havoc modifiers

#

When a hexbound daemonhost spawns on the otherside of the map

#

So you just lose

#

You mean zealot?

No no

Chain weapons are broken op on zealot

Huh.

#

Yeah chainaxe is on psyker

Not so much on psyker or vet

I never knew that, I main force sword

Aye

#

Zealot tho...

#

Evis, csword, aaaand chaxe?

elder vessel
elder vessel
warm walrus
#

huh, bet

elder vessel
#

but only because zealot is a melee class

#

If you slap enough damage and attk speed buffs on a weapon, it will eventually become Stier

#

martyrdom can make the worst weapon feel good

junior oak
#

What would you guys say is the plas guns dump stat?

narrow frost
#

71-72 charge 69-68 thermal

#

dump charge if you dont care to minmax

junior oak
#

So you'd rather a more balanced roll than a dump

#

Fair

narrow frost
#

its 1 of 2 weapons that actually wants it more then a flat dump

junior oak
#

Whats the other?

sleek garden
narrow frost
#

ripper

#

66% ammo and rest collat dump

safe kiln
#

ripper wants a certain ammo stat

elder vessel
junior oak
#

Which class is the ripper on?

hollow ibex
junior oak
#

Ahhh, makes sense

#

I never think of that gun lol

#

Thank you lads

safe kiln
#

after playing martyrdom I cant play anything with low attack speed anymore

elder vessel
#

eviscerator eventually stops feeling like a chain greatsword and more of a chain katana

junior oak
#

Im trying to do the fun task of getting the best roll of every weapon on every character rn

#

And finishing up masteries

#

What would be the helbore dump stat? I personally picked ammo

elder vessel
#

Why wouldnt it be stability

tame lodge
junior oak
#

I see

#

thanks

tame lodge
#

Weapon so stable it's akin to immune to suppression

junior oak
#

so mobility < stability < ammo?

hollow ibex
#

Depends on the weapon but mobility and defense are often dumps

#

Stability, warp resist and collateral sometimes

junior oak
#

I meant for ranged mostly, ik defence is a dump too

open ravine

This was annoying we were doing a heresy shock troop inferno mission and the one player purposely shots the dh but none of us could dps it and so 2 of us just moved on while this guys tries and fails then gets pissy with us because we did the correct thing in that situation

peak siren
#

huhu, "Lethal Proximity
Point blank shots cause an explosion. Explosion Radius increases by 10-25%."

does it NOT increase our grenade explosions anymore? cant feel a difference in psykhanium

unreal nova
#

Psykhanium.

peak siren
#

so in missions it doesnt work consistantly?

unreal nova
#

No, it's just actual blast radius is still too small.

#

But is an easy way to see if Lethal is changed.

open ravine
#

Kraks were designed when there were less elites

sage kettle
#

casual i only have one thing to say

#

CLOSE ! KILL! AND DO IT AGAIN!

unreal nova
#

Because normally, kraks will not even glance a hit on the dog.

open ravine
#

Now that I actually think about it arbites and ogryn are designed around the current difficulty while vet and zealot are still the old difficulty.
pysker just was cracked from the start and only has had some tweaks to be viable even now in the difficulty it wasn't designed for

I wish they would like do something for marksman focus on vet man

maiden wasp
# faint beacon I'd expect a player with 100 hours to at least understand what the smokes do and...

Being able to use them to your benefit doesn't change the fact that they still do things to the ai that if you are not expecting it could get you or your teammates killed which is compounded by the fact that often you are not the one throwing the smokes when this happens. I never said smokes are bad, I said that you make it sound like the anger pointed at a compounding factor to ai doing weird things is unfounded.

open ravine
faint beacon
#

Skill Issue?

#

Like seriously I dont see how thats an issue if its more beneficial especially when its easy to learn what it does lmao

maiden wasp
livid hill
#

but it is useable

maiden wasp
open ravine
#

I feel while marksman is great on the las weapons and autoguns it can run into issues on shotguns, bolters and plasma as the hit zone makes it so head shots while viable are not as consistent but vet gets crits quite often so having crits count towards marksman stacks would make it universally viable

maiden wasp
#

If you like smokes that's fine, but at a certain point it does become a redundant utility that could be replaced with better positioning and gamesense and gives you access to the insane utility of the veterans other grenades when not being used.

hearty panther
#

Smokes are good.

open ravine
#

Smoke could do withe either ES outlines while enemies are inside or provide a brief stealth effect on detonations so the gang can do teenage mutant ninja turtle disappearing act

#

Basically just some fun and somewhat helpful additions

#

feels a bit niche for me

It’s not a vacuum

#

I wish we could become tempesrous aquilions :(

open ravine
#

Yeah but that was back when the difficulty of the game was lower and now vet acts like wet tissue paper without certain builds

tropic notch
#

Helps with res as well

open ravine
#

Yes vet was op back then but I feel now that vet would feel okay

#

They certainly weren't at what ogryn is now

livid hill
#

you have to work a lil harder to do good as vet

#

still doable but idk, it doesn't have the variety of arby and ogryn which should be better soon

open ravine
#

Vet is designed for the old difficulty and needs to be reworked for the current difficulty

#

Get rid of majority of greys and update blue nodes to be more proactive and add more tree merging to allow for rerouting without spending on tax

livid hill
#

also would be nice to make it more compact like arby

storm oriole
#

ever since i've played arbites, going back to veteran makes me miss execution order for that elite highlighting
i feel like i have a major skill issue when i can't have 100% uptime on VoC in fights

faint beacon
#

its mainly cause Arby is overtuned so its noticeable between what should be balanced and what clearly isn't

open ravine
storm oriole
#

but it would totally be way too strong on vet even for just highlights

open ravine
#

Its too strong on arbite

storm oriole
#

fair

open ravine
#

I feel it should be nerfed to only mark line of sight enemies

#

Not just mark everything in a 50 meter radius

maiden wasp
# tropic notch I mean if I stumbled upon 112 gunners smokes are godly

okay, so 2 things of note here, becuse you clearly haven't been following this conversation for v long. 1: I never said that smokes were bad, that is not how we got to this point, I said that the annoyance toward smoke users is not unjustified after @faint beacon made a comment about zealot players "getting tilted you brought smokes untill the 5 billion reaper pack shows up" to which i proposed some reasons for why this annoyance wouldn't be completely unfounded. This devolved into a back and forth that boils down to a non argument about the relative value between shredder/krak grenades and smokes which changes varies wildly between hypothetical scenarios and levels of play. My response is that shredders and kraks will help you out of far more scenarios, or keep things more manageable than smokes will in 90% of games. Finally, 2: get preggers reacted.

hearty panther
#

Smokes are good.

storm oriole
#

on the topic of nades, people praise shredder nades quite a bit but even with a build that lets me spam them, they feel slightly underwhelming?
or am i expecting too much from the hype

hollow ibex
open ravine
#

And breakup gunner mobs allowing you to breathe

hollow ibex
#

It’s just that they’re one of vets only sources of infinite cleave

#

And even if it’s straight up worse than what psyker can do

#

Infinite cleave is infinite cleave

orchid hemlock
storm oriole
#

i see, they still serve a solid purpose then

open ravine

Only carapace really stops it

narrow frost

hollow ibex
hearty panther
#

Brutal Momentum is a funny kind of infinite cleave where it's theoretically infinite hitmass cleave but only up to five different targets.

heavy rover
#

would sunder give the infinite cleave you're looking for?

#

sunder to power sword, i mean

hearty panther
#

Sunder does not, but it does let you bypass some things that would normally hard-stop cleaving.

heavy rover
#

ah

void dragon
#

i always knew Veteran was being replaced by Arby but never imagined that it would consistently be "double its damage, far more tanky" levels of better

#

that bleeding thing is really nasty

#

and even without it they can put so much damage

warm schooner
#

nothing like walking into a h40 as a brand new 30 arby and then wrecking face despite having no idea how to build the class

#

still prefer vet though

void dragon
#

its still refreshing to have the class capable to clean a room of elites because Exe stance helbore is really good now, or box down an entire horde with the ole 1-2 of shovel - DBshotgun cleave

open ravine
void dragon
#

bolter with Exe stance its actually quite killer

#

but the thing is that arby is super sturdy for the capacity it has for death

#

at most ranges

warm schooner
#

you can get away with some absurd shit

#

the saving grace so far is that most arbis are absolute trash from what I've seen

void dragon
#

HARD

warm schooner
#

its so true

#

at least in high havoc positioning starts to matter

#

so eventually they can't math their way out of the problem

storm oriole
warm schooner
#

it's nice to see people saying smokes have some use now as opposed to before

#

where I'd get shit on for just having it equipped in lobbies

storm oriole
#

people do that in most games, almost unavoidable

#

i'm willing to bet that you can put a good player on a build that would be considered horrible overall and they would still do better than those who criticize others

void dragon
#

but when the obj is in the open with an army of gunners arround, they will remember that its not just damage what they need

I think that's enough darktide

I suggest leveling up your skill and not havoc. "Leveling" up havoc will come on its own when you improve your own gameplay.

unreal bone

I can't dodge a crusher overhead that isn't meant for me

warm schooner

rashad needs a specific set of blessings, perks, stat break points, and talents before it hits god tier level wave clear

once you have those just mash m1 and occasionally push attack

hollow ibex
#

Yeah Rashad is all or nothing

fervent mesa

makes sense i was struggling a lot with it but i havent upgraded it fully yet

hollow ibex

Rashad really is trash if it can’t hit bruiser breakpoints with light attacks

But most plasma gun builds are either melee focused with heavy plasma support or are target priority builds which are both limiting to the gun you have in your hands.

I always thought it was the closest wed have to a anti tank rifle bc it got thru stuff but they kinda made it to where that's only reliable if you use it frequently most people use it then go back to like a bolter or auto gun

my canon for me loose cannon vet getting commissar gear is that she once stole it from a death one in an operation and began to give orders to everyone, no one realized she was not the real one and at the end of that the coat and hat mysteriously disappeared, so now in the mourningstar it is confiscated but since she always figure a way to take it back people just let her wear it around.
