Why what’s that?

signal garden
#

because ogryn is top damage vs everything

#

even emotionally, to your team

Plasma with +maniac yummers

#

kind of a lynchpin class that does a bit of everything and keeps everyone in good condition while having good melee (if u spec into it) and good ranged (if u spec into it)

grand lynx
#

Many thanks all does sound viable in a way lol 👍😁👍

and arbys is pay to win

I've been enjoying vet so far despite the advantages that ogryn and arbiter have

have they ever spoken about why they havent made any more operations besides rolling steel?

arbys is about not losing toughness

All classes

because, and i think this speaks to what vet could get next, give us a damn shield

#

shields are OP

#

ive seen some really braindead arbies play, they are practically invincible while putting in 0 effort

tame lodge
#

You don't get hit you don't lose toughness

#

Crazy right?

signal garden
#

there you go, a good class rewards you in spite of your mistakes

#

and thats arbys

#

and NOT veteran

at least by that definition

although i would be happier if stuff like the chainsword was actually reworked so there's more than 3 viable vet melees

did u install something to make it extra deepfried

i dont remember low settings looking like this

#

You are getting hit

So you're telling me to get the mid class so I can get rewarded for being hit

That's against the game fundamentals

it was good, didnt bnring me to tears

only game to do that is rdr2

It's either FES or Reloaded for me

Or even persona q P3 side

earnest barn

genuine question for you fellas, although i'm not sure if this is the place to ask since it's a lore thing

red fox
#

the smiling through it all persona of P3p femc hits me more than blue boy stoicism

earnest barn
#

is the recon lasgun used by multiple regiments or do only the elysians use it ? just asking because i have been debating on if i should include it on a newer build i have been cooking up

tame lodge
#

I'm not a lore guy

#

But I'm willing to bet it's an elysian thing

atomic void
#

pretty commendable tbh

#

literally changed everything from weapons to physics to parkour to fkn color filters lmao

tame lodge
#

Didn't have guns at launch

earnest barn
#

the second game's atmosphere is still pretty bad by comparison imo, but i'll admit i had far more fun with it than DL1

tame lodge
#

Guns were added later but people aren't scared of it

#

Like in dying light 1

patent birch
#

DL2 isnt real

DL1's combat was actually miserable

its dogshit

i dont evne care about guns
the way they ripped apart the animation hitreg system and entirely replaced it with a proper functioning physics systems is some big balls shit

atomic void
earnest barn
# patent birch horrendous take

boy, i love getting grappled constantly, having to spam slide to fight humans and enemies with guns having actual terminator aim

patent birch
#

still currently dogshit, horrible story, floaty bad gameplay, same with dead island 2, dead island 1 and dying light 1 dont have sequels, the ogs hold up fine

tame lodge
#

DI2 needs more zombies but also needs to stop spawning zombies from out of nowhere

glad they're ditching the faction system and branching choices for the beast though, those were unsalvageable

I never really cared about those choices

And rarely used the survival parkour things

True

dying light 1 never had amazing writing but it wasnt in your way

and it had funny side quests

idk why they decided to turn 2 into a crpg lmao

too much yapping

On psyker you can build 9-10 cleave on it

Havoc set is cooler

#

Only bad thing about havoc set is u need to be accepted into people's lobbies 😭

earnest barn
#

the steelheads set is also pretty cool but once again i'm cucked out of getting it by penances since i only get to play havoc like once a month maybe

#

i'm cursed with having to play in south american servers, which are almost dead 99% of the time

#

and the few times where it isn't, it's filled with people who almost never queue up for anything past damnation

#

it's gotten easier to find auric matches since the battle for tertium update dropped, but i still don't have any luck with finding people willing to play maelstrom, mortis trials or havoc

does the plasma suck now, it feels wayyyy weaker than it used to be

teal canyon
#

Never liked plasma

normal bay
#

It has not changed

cyan verge
#

by 'used to be' I mean since like introduction of havoc months ago

teal canyon
#

Everyone was saying plasma was OP but either I was bad with it, or I was too good for plasma to not hinder my killing potential

cyan verge
#

well all I know is I am not one-shotting gunners to chest and that seems like wrong somehow

tame lodge
#

Nothing changed since havoc

cyan verge
#

maybe I should go flak + elites instead of unarmoured + maniacs

teal canyon
#

I always liked spearhead boltgun, shotguns and infantry autoguns/braced more than anything else just because that they don't feel like shooting digits

#

Enemies actually react and piss themselves

#

Meanwhile you shoot a guy with a lasguns and he doesn't even flinching

cyan verge
#

enemies dive out of the way of the plasma gun too when it like sears past their face, if you miss, it is cool

#

the boltgun is good... but eh I only have a executioners stance build for it

red fox
#

is bolter flak/unarm or flak/maniac>

cyan verge
#

my boltgun is flak/maniac and it does well

odd sparrow
#

Maniac unarmed

#

Flak doesnt really change any breakpoints

cyan verge

well there u go then don't listen to me

Unarmored allows 1hit on dreg gunner headshot

I even get them without mods

cyan verge
#

oh, so you can tune zoom etc?

#

that sounds useful

steep flower
cyan verge
#

I noticed recently with my recon lasgun like it has a zoom multiplier of like 1x, so you aim and it's like ok I can see muzzle flashes about 300m away from a gunner, but actually aiming at the right pixel is somewhat challenging

steep flower
#

The distance of your weapon from your camera too so it does not look like youre holding it next to your face in vanilla; this is not early 2000’s FPS games on console lmao KEKW_ogryn

# red fox sorry adm is....

ADM stands for Armor Damage Modifier it denotes how much damage a weapon will do against different armor types

Bolter does 1x damage against unarmored

0.8x(or 80%) against flak

0.4x(40%) against carapace

Real +3 is 410 and above

Say you have 61.x and 79.x and rounded up to 62 and 80

steel veldt
#

I think this is bugged

#

I am doing it but it doesn't apply

#

is it because I am using exe stance and not volley fire?

#

even though exe stance is an augmented volley fire?

sudden cedar
#

No.

#

You have to keep it up for 20 seconds.

#

5 times.

#

You got it done once.

#

Now do it 4 more times.

steel veldt
#

I did it again

odd sparrow
#

5 times per match

steel veldt
#

and it didn't go up

steel veldt
sudden cedar
#

No.

#

I don't think so.

#

Maybe you did not actually keep it up for over 20 seconds.

#

Or maybe it simply didn't register, in which case.. yeah.

#

Fatshark Moment.

steel veldt
#

I am pretty sure I did because I have a mod that shows EXACT cooldown, yeah?

#

If cooldown is 30 sec

#

I held it up to like 9 sec remaining

barren cave
#

Itl happen , I did it recently but it takes a bit

sudden cedar
#

Hold it up longer.

barren cave
#

Gotta keep trying

sudden cedar
#

You also get cooldown reduction, remember that.

steel veldt
#

this laspistol doesn't kill shit yet so it's hard

#

but I will do it one day...

sudden cedar
#

Maybe not from you, but from other sources.

barren cave
#

And take the node for showing human ranged enemies

steel veldt
#

I have that yeah

sudden cedar
#

Yeah a different weapon might help with that.

barren cave
#

Yeah use something like infantry las

steel veldt
#

I thought laspistol was great

sudden cedar
#

Well it does pack a punch, but it is quite inaccurate.. or.. maybe.

#

Maybe.. it is a bit unforgiving.

#

Something like the Vigilant Autogun would do the trick.

#

Or the Revolver.

barren cave
#

Although I did it with recon lasgun

steel veldt
#

I can use my IAG

barren cave
#

What difficulty are you on

steel veldt
#

Auric usually

barren cave
#

Yeah you should be able to do it with auto weapons, it's easy to keep extending it with the chains of enemies in auric

steel veldt
#

just don't get why laspistol ain't that good

#

at least for me

barren cave
#

I dunno, I dont use it much

#

I usually use recon or iag

#

Or bolt pistol

#

Bolt pistol is great

steel veldt
#

how's bolt pistol on exe stance

#

considering you gotta reload a lot

#

and it's slow to reload

barren cave
#

I don't use exe stance anymore

#

I've done the penances

#

So no clue, haven't tried bistol on it

steel veldt
#

I see

barren cave
#

I still have to do the penance for mmf, but I'm doing it without exe stance because I'm sick of it KEKW_ogryn

steel veldt
#

Got it Hank Motherfucker Wimbleton

long dove
#

I used IAG for the exec stance penance

cyan verge
#

for the exe stance thing, you know, what I used was the infantry autogun columnus

#

you also want to add ranged enemy tagging too

calm shard
#

I think I just did it passively on the release of the game because it was the only ability vet had xd

cyan verge
#

lol

#

yeah I think it does heavily depend on your weapon choice too

#

for boltgun for instance, as soon as you start to reload, in my experience, that's it for your stance

#

so you don't really want to take the boltgun

#

you have time though realistically to reload an IAG

#

so you can keep it going

spark canopy

cyan verge
#

on the fence about difficulty too because on the one hand higher difficulty means more specials, but also more people on your team will be geared towards and aiming to massacre every special that exists, which leaves less targets for you...

#

i personally used Camouflage

tall torrent
#

I still like helbore 3 over 4

#

4 is way too backline for me

cyan verge
#

what kinda talents should I take with helbore for breakpoints

#

how does the bayonet interact with weapon specialist also

tame lodge
#

You can use it to stack weapon specialist but you can't activate because you're not swapping

cyan verge
#

yeah so it's basically not an issue then but it's also not necessarily helping you out...

#

well I like it better than focus target anyway

cyan verge
#

idk probably the IIIa? I dunno what the best one is

tall torrent
#

both 3a and 4 are good but they differ a bit

#

3a is more generalist

#

4 is very backline but packs more punch

cyan verge
#

I assume the difference between them is like 1 or 2 nodes though

in this 1 move I prob delayed it by at least 1 week

tame lodge

😭 dyinginside

tall torrent
#

the nice part is
every weapon will get their own blessing section right after their own sections

#

so, for example

#

combat axe would be combat axe x3 variants + blessings

tame lodge
#

So it's basically "here's everything you should know about the weapon, here's the blessings they use"

tall torrent
#

yes

#

also integrated other 3 classes' weapons into this

tame lodge
#

3?
I know you're not going to include Ogryn so the third is Arby's

cyan verge
# tall torrent 3a

I basically have this... I guess I could skip shock trooper since the helbore is reasonably ammo efficient already (right?) and then take +5% ranged damage up there... but I dunno maybe skip agile engagement + that melee damage and instead just take the +ranged node, which would leave 1 point left over for... I dunno, longshot? demo team??? rending strikes????

cyan verge
#

probably just aurics, what would I change for havoc though? probably not much right

tall torrent
#

for havoc get survivalist

cyan verge
#

oh, yeah that is a very good idea

tall torrent
#

one of the biggest upsides to using helbore in havoc is that u enable ur team to claim all ammo on map

#

in auric it doesn't matter

#

loads of ammo lying around

#

for havoc get demo team + twinned blast

#

become gambler

cyan verge
#

lol

tame lodge
cyan verge
#

krak or shredder in havoc

tall torrent
#

krak requires u to play around enemies' slots a bit for max value

cyan verge
#

yeah and with a helbore your crowd killing is worse, so shredder might be good there

tropic notch
cyan verge
#

anyway thanks for the advice that's settled now I think

#

helbore 3a

tropic notch
#

Vet is all about set up and frag helps play into that

tropic notch
cyan verge
#

hm, I guess I can see how that might be stronger than for the emperor

tropic notch
#

It’s pretty good vet oozes toughness

cyan verge
#

and if you have survivalist you're taking catch a breath right, so that's, not a lot but hey at least it syncs up there a bit

hollow ibex
#

CAB is pretty good

#

Given how dire vets toughness regen is

cyan verge
#

yeah I am used to voice of command that just gives you all your toughness back every like 30s or less

#

but if I play executioners stance I feel so fragile

tall torrent
cyan verge
#

I should but idk what to swap out, maybe bring it down

tall torrent
#

could get twinned + marksman

#

marksman is higher dmg than BiD most of the time and works vs everything not just ogryns and monsters

cyan verge
#

that is fair, what about superiority complex?

if we don't have a psyker I run WS double barrel with a power sword

(not) infinite cleave ranged weapon? check

big bubble that stops the team from being shot? check

excellent damage output especially into high density? check

this is a psyker build

Give arbi some competition chadgryn

And ogryn

Yah I know PS has pretty insane dps, but ogryn and arbi just feel so much better as a whole

tall torrent

prob 0.75s base and one grey node to get 0.5s

then we're so back

I like how I gaslit people to go from referring to arbites as arby to now arb

Then it's just the PNG of master cheef with When written on it

signal garden
#

I'd rather the power sword be slower command power slashes and heavy for stab or whatever, with slightly improved normal attacks, rather than whatever shite we currently need to deal with

#

It works, it's strong, but it's not fun to use when the game starts trickling chaff at you

#

The power sword was designed with the mindset that chaff did a big wind up, max diff the sound cue between shwoop and hit is so tight

just did an auric with the IIIa without being able to see the chage indicator... now that I can see it it's like oh that's how this gun works

signal garden
#

Not to mention you need to fiddle around with it potentially while a dude with a gun is getting ready to wipe your TGH

cyan verge
#

ok now I see why people like the helbore

tall torrent
#

my personal preference for its setup is

#

maniac (flamer 1chs in havoc)
unyielding (reaper 2~3hs in havoc)
surgical
hotshot 1

#

u kinda don't need WoF on it

#

hotshot is just cracked for when u get like shotgunner lineups

cyan verge
#

that all makes sense to me... thanks

#

yeah it is actually pretty snappy so weight of fire probably not as noticeable or useful

tame lodge
#

Helbore propaganda successful

#

We love to see it

cyan verge
#

well I had to install that passive charge mod to make it work for me but yeah

sudden cedar
#

Passive charge mod?

cyan verge
#

so instead of hold and release to fire it's just aim and click

#

which helps a lot

sudden cedar
#

That sounds..

#

Let's just say i don't like. Borders on gaining advantages with mods. But we had this discussion before.

cyan verge
#

it doesn't actually change any of the like... charge up time or the delay before you can charge a new shot, which does exist, so it actually gives no advantage whatsoever, it just changes the like, tactile feedback of shooting

#

it's like if you made it so guile did a hadoken with like down right instead of being a charge character

#

and yeah I guess just due to fatshark's like very liberal mod policy, uh, yeah

compact oracle
#

just seems like one more way to mitigate the horrible carpal tunnel you can get playing these games

cyan verge
#

yeah, I mean on the one hand like... maybe there are people who actually enjoy doing that, but that is not me

#

oh randomly, does anyone actually use a vigilant autogun ever

sudden cedar
#

Yes.

#

Adamant user and defender.

cyan verge
#

I would guess the graia is the strongest one

sudden cedar
#

Both Vraks and Graia work.

#

Columnus is only really useful, if at all, in closest range.

#

All of the Marks suffer from noticeable recoil.

cyan verge
#

well ima invest in the graia so I can live out my elite sniper man fantasies and take infiltrate also

sudden cedar
#

Can't say anything to how it will function on a Veteran.

cyan verge
#

... is there another class it is somehow better on

#

veteran is the gunshooting man, everyone knows that

tame lodge
#

Tried ogryn?

cyan verge
#

gunker???

#

oh yeah ogryn has the heavy stubber I guess

sudden cedar
#

Well, i use them on my Zealot.

cyan verge
#

zealot carries ranged weapons????

tame lodge
#

Achlys Hstubber is basically vigilant

sudden cedar
#

Yes of course.

#

Would be a fool not to.

cyan verge
#

this is dumb

compact oracle
#

fascinating

cyan verge
#

seems kinda pointless to take close and kill but more movement speed would go well with infiltrate better...

Longshot is really shit

hollow ibex

cyan verge

oh you think? this is for vigilant autogun build

tame lodge
#

I knew it would be frame 1 KEKW_ogryn

cyan verge
#

wait what's the range on longshot, I just remembered it's really bad isn't it, like 50m for full bonus or something

tame lodge
#

0% until 12.5 meters

cyan verge
#

yeah

#

that sucks lol

tame lodge
#

20% at 30m

#

Iirc

hybrid plover
tame lodge
#

It's 20%, right?

hybrid plover
#

Its just not Survivalist.

cyan verge
#

yeah this is just for aurics so I kinda don't as much care about ammo

hybrid plover
#

"Up to"

past stratus
#

I can overlook not getting superiority complex for getting that other shitty orange node because it's infiltrate build but longshot is just fatshark's little joke talent. You can't enable them, it is not a funny joke

hybrid plover
#

This is the one case where that's actually applicable and the bonuses start at like

#

12.5m

#

It really isn't worth it

cyan verge
#

yeah I'm convinced

#

hm, yeah I guess superiority would be up more...

#

but marksman is all enemies not just elites

hybrid plover
#

I'll be honest

#

Superiority Complex is kinda overrated.

cyan verge
#

this is the list of elites right

#

that is a lot of enemies

hybrid plover
#

Like it's good. But it's not a decisive node like some make it out to be.

cyan verge
#

yeah I am concerned about my damage, idk how much I need for breakpoints

#

this is the graia vigilant though right so I have like, a fair amount of damage already

hybrid plover
#

I'd say take it solely because it's infiltrate

past stratus
#

Superiority complex will always do more damage to dangerous guys. Not just when you use your funny button

hybrid plover
#

Because the issue with infiltrate is that it has a much longer cooldown

past stratus
#

it's not a cool talent but Vet barely has any cool talents

cyan verge
#

yeah

past stratus
#

but it is reliable

cyan verge
#

that makes sense

#

whereas like

hybrid plover
#

So your uptime with marksman isn't as good.

cyan verge
#

voice of command

#

yeah, makes sense

hybrid plover
#

With shout, you can spam the hell out of it and in some crazy cases, you can actually overlap the buffs.

scenic vapor
past stratus
#

but I must say I recently became a defender of the speedy aura and smokes, if people weren't so bad with their ammo I'd always take that aura

#

it is so good

#

at least outside of Havoc, in havoc you're kind of forced into survivalist

#

which is shit and unfun imo

cyan verge
#

yeah I am not gonna bring this stupid crap to havoc lol

hybrid plover
#

Survivalist is the worst aura in the game imho

past stratus
#

people often complain about being locked into VOC but I resent Survivalist more

hybrid plover
#

Not because it's bad. But because its so objectively powerful that you're pigeon holed into using it.

#

It's bad for balance. And it always has been.

orchid hemlock

#

yeah I don't mind voice of command personally, I fortunately find it fun to use

Gimme the Ranger Veteran passive FS, let my allies hunt their little ammo bags 😠

Smite moment

hybrid plover
#

It benefits you in no way stat wise.

compact oracle
#

ive been running fire team forever because im a selfish asshole (because i forgot i had it)

hybrid plover
#

And that's why I hate it so much. It's boring and yet it's literally required in Havoc unless you're running Helbore.

past stratus
#

even if you're running helbore people might get angy that you don't have it

hybrid plover
#

And even then, people are gonna want you to run it because it benefits them too.

orchid hemlock
#

And even then the people on reddit are gonna tell you that you are trash 😞

hybrid plover
#

Hot take honestly. If they really insist to have an effect like survivalist in the game

#

Just make it a passive thing for vet.

#

Not a separate aura.

orchid hemlock
hybrid plover
#

Pandora's box has already been opened with it existing. If they insist, might as well just give more to vet as a class by just making that their thing

#

Instead of the bracing thing they do when crouched against cover that might as well not exist.

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

That would be the ideal choice. But we know that isn't gonna happen. 😔

compact oracle

how would you rebalance ammo pickups

past stratus

give us the real thing cowards.

unreal nova

Unless the rebalance hands out ammo to all, eh.

hybrid plover

No way to afford going left.

compact oracle

just the entire map a huge breadcrumb trail of ammo pickups

past stratus

for DT it would need to be 1% ammo and probably not every Special

#

but still

#

it would be much better than what we have

hybrid plover
unreal nova

The only build I have that can take one easily is my recon.

#

I will be pathing WS, that's the thing.

#

I barely have enough points to get to it already.

hybrid plover

I rather go left side on the right tree.

Get toughness over exploit.

cyan verge

after some consideration and reading the hammer of the emperor guide I got this instead... it says gets an extra +5% ranged node but idk if it is helping me getting the extra one below shredders

I really do

gilded raft

I hate your teammates too

cyan verge
#

no scavenger and disowning enemy aggro, yep active hostile teammate griefing

#

add in 30s smokes with demo team and scavenger and ohhh it's toxic

unreal nova
#

I never took the lower aggro thing since when I used it for penance, it was budget shout lul.

tall torrent
cyan verge
#

graia vigilant autogun

tall torrent
#

is infil rly a necessity here

#

cuz infil most of the time is just 2 point tax to not play VoC

cyan verge
#

nah but it might be fun to play with

tall torrent
#

at least exe stance is same point cost as VoC

cyan verge
#

yeah I am considering going back to close & kill for something more like this since marksman's focus seems like it is making up for losing the damage from fire team + 1 small node

#

huh now that I look this is really similar to an infiltrate build I stole from here a while ago

#

that one had scavenger tho

#

being more sensible, could instead do this, throw out smokes and infiltrate, and then just become grenade man with a focus on killing all specials with executioners stance, but now it's like I think I may have too much damage

past stratus
#

it just looks like you're trying really hard to not do a standard build

signal garden
#

i mean

#

playing vet is that in a nutshell

cyan verge
#

yeah and missing out on weapon specialist or at least many of those melee talents, is a real shame since they do bulk up your damage and horde clear a bit

#

so it does feel a bit futile

cyan verge
hybrid plover
#

And what melee?

cyan verge
#

DSIV probably, although, it would probably be better to go like rashad just to have some horde clear, it'd also mean slightly less mobility which is a shame

hybrid plover
#

I'll be real w u

#

Ds4 might not even be a good choice for this build

cyan verge
#

the main thing that it'd help with is killing carapace enemies

tall torrent
# cyan verge this

I’m ngl
I currently don’t see any reason to use vig when helbore does basically the same thing but better in every way

hybrid plover
#

You need something to get hordes the hell away from you. Ds4 is great single target but not great horde clear and that'll matter when you don't have a get out of jail free button.

cyan verge
#

yeah

hybrid plover
#

Also that.

#

Helbore just. Better.

cyan verge
#

that is like 100% true too

#

which is a shame

tall torrent
#

Helbore current role is pretty similar to Ogryn’s achlys heavy stubber

#

Also u can unironically run hotshot on helbore3a and then BM for power sword to do a makeshift sunder lol

#

Sure it can’t cleave carapace but it’ll go through a lot more things than just BM

cyan verge
#

the power sword is pretty sweet...

#

this does sound like a recipe for a very slow character tho lol

tall torrent
#

power sword runs decent fast cuz u have 80% mobility

#

+0.27m/s sprint bonus

cyan verge
#

oh, yeah true, that isn't so bad

#

and I do have that

#

... what are curios for havoc on vet

#

atm it looks like I have toughness/health/health and then various misc perks but +5% toughness on all

tall torrent
cyan verge
#

oh so nothing all that strict then just like whatever, sure, thanks

#

the last time I looked into this it was like right when havoc came out so there was a lot of just theorycrafting going on

hollow ibex
#

Rez speed? Just take rez shout instead thumbsup_ogryn

cyan verge
#

also I am testing the helbore 3a in meat grinder just for fun and yeah it really is way better than vigilant...

calm shard
#

Man testing out Skirmisher in the psykhanium why does this shit stack so slow

#

If you could at least like tap sprint to maintain it it'd be annoying but usable

round flint
#

They should make Rez shout more useful by putting friendly fire damage in game. Let me cut that stupid psyker in half for falling behind, then revive him so he knows I still care

compact oracle
#

yeah add friendly fire so i can activate force greatsword and kill all three of my teammates at once

hollow ibex
#

If only it stacks during slides

calm shard
#

yeah it's like

#

it takes just long enough that you are never getting more than one stack while sprinting if you value your life

hollow ibex
#

Yeah I want to like it

#

But it’s honestly pretty aids

unreal forge
#

+5 damage or +5 movement 🙀

#

Inshallah Veteran rework will turn it into a class iconic

#

and you get taxed heavily if you want to use the other auras too, -2 points

past stratus
#

the 5% move speed is pretty good, it is the difference between kiting hordes or not

unreal forge
#

I'm sure it is

past stratus
#

Now can you argue that it should be better? Yes, definitely

hollow ibex
#

Close and Kill is the best aura

#

Simple as

cyan verge
#

honestly it should be like 10% for you and 5% for allies

unreal forge
#

Real

past stratus
#

you could smush those two auras together and it would be very ok. Not even close to being too strong or OP

unreal forge
#

or give it some stamina regeneration

cyan verge
#

other people get their own movespeed buffs, particularly arbites, zealot gets some too I think

#

so I kinda picture veterans dipping into close and kill not being able to keep up with the people they are ostensibly boosting in speed cuz I think vet gets a +5% movespeed at the top of the tree andddd that is it?

#

at least your ogryn friends will appreciate it

#

you can be slow together

#

well I say this, I guess psyker too

unreal forge
#

19 operative modifiers upon ye

#

I wonder if they will be turning those into base stats

past stratus
#

the movespeed is objectively the best aura we have, survivalist and fire team are situational. Close and Kill is always useful no matter the situation

cyan verge
#

technically I can't argue with that

#

survivalist is only like truly 'get this' if you are in havoc, and fire team is for hitting breakpoints on specific weapons I think, whereas close and kill is always useful... technically...

it's funny because you just stab any random enemy to death, even a poxwalker, and then swap weapons to refill a bullet, but uhh... I dunno...

@/Psyker is a melee class actually

covert fable
#

shock maul is just random 😭

tame lodge
calm shard
#

no assail smh

#

assail is vastly better than both other psyker blitzes

#

it just means no psykinetic's aura

tame lodge
#

Yes but not against carapace

calm shard
#

it is worse against carapace than BB

#

and maybe unyielding?

#

but like you've got FGS and assumedly a gun

#

shoot reapers

#

stab the other guys

tame lodge
calm shard
#

nah if assail crits it should be able to 2 shot h40 flamers unless I'm misremembering

cyan verge
#

assail mostly kills everything tbh but especially specials

calm shard
#

(only one has to crit)

#

though assail has an obnoxious tendency to hit flamer backpacks which have fucking 80% damage reduction

covert fable
calm shard
#

I run gun psyker like this

#

can obviously take cooldown aura instead

#

yeah

#

malefic has great uptime with FGS because of the faster lights after swapping to it

#

anyways perilous combustion is mostly for this

#

without a crit FGS barely leaves maulers alive with overhead into poke

#

same thing for crushers if the stab doesn't crit

#

yeah

#

it also helps keep 2 shots in havoc but for ragers not maulers/crushers

#

I still have unyielding on my FGS to help with killing bulwarks

hybrid plover
calm shard
#

maniacs/flak would be the obvious replacements if you don't want it

#

for ragers

#

yeah 5% movement speed is pretty good aura

unreal forge
#

you have no aura

hybrid plover
#

If it wasn't taxed to hell and it wasn't competing with survivalist, it'd actually be a good choice.

calm shard
#

I run movespeed aura on my builds for being the 2nd veteran

hybrid plover
#

Using that with knife actually gives you game breaking levels of movement.

calm shard
#

Even without knife

#

Most weapons need +10% mobility to outrun melee trash

tall torrent
#

It’s almost shield+maul tier

calm shard
#

O4B pathing into movespeed aura gives you that, and your teammates all get 5

#

It's not bad

hybrid plover
#

It just isn't survivalist.

#

And it's on a bad spot in the tree.

calm shard
#

p much

unreal forge
#

surv also mediocre for h40 but it's the best you got unless you run smokes for some reason

calm shard
hybrid plover
#

...Survivalist... Mediocre, for havoc 40

#

Are you smoking fentanyl?

calm shard
#

And also unlike psyker bubble it lasts longer than SIX seconds good lord

it's ogreat if you've got a rumbler ogryn and it's necessary for never running out on the Helbore but otherwise meh

hybrid plover
#

It's incredibly powerful in h40 because EVERYONE benefits from it.

unreal forge
#

maybe it's just me but I don't use gun so much that I notice survivalist

calm shard
#

genuinely would rather have a bot for the ammo aura stacking than any book zealot

hybrid plover
#

And ammo pick ups are nerfed heavily enough that you will 100% notice a difference between having a surv vet and not.

I wish superiority complex swapped places with fully loaded
