They suck in havoc but they actually have good cleave in regular game modes
you know what ELSE has good cleave?
Ur mom? π€
the Mk XIV recon lasgun
Gotwm
the BAD ONE
Sure but braced has the insane suppression and CC
Meaning it is also useful of actually stopping gunners you cleave thru, or open Bullwalks
Alright, thanks guys!
have u actually tested opening buwarks with braced autogun
also @orchid hemlock I finished all vet-accessible melee weapons last night

Yes I hit their little toes and they get ticklish 
next part will be curios
then enemy breakdown
the biggest section is done
Enormous
Wait is this true? path is defeating ObeseFish in the race to the Veteran rework?
Yes 
Cor
Do you recommend changing the gray to the gold? It's better for statistics.
Ideal dumpstat is Collateral or Mobility, so gold I guess
That's a good split between both
So I'm staying with the golden one?

Is stability important? Because I plan to level up the gray, but I don't know if stability is very important.
with the spearhead boltgun you typically want collateral to be your lowest stat
Any advice for Killshot Ready? At 1100/2500 right now
Which one is that again?
Kills under marksman focus?
Just crouch and melee/spam grenades
or use the Mk XIV recon las since it has cleave
and can actually shoot through hordes
or do both of these things as the situation demands
Do not dump that on Veteran, Zealot is the only exception mainly cause it helps with bulwark shields
Mobility is the dump on Vet
does "make every shot count" count all pellets of a shotgun as well?
talking about the penance ^^
It doesn't count all of them
You just need to have one pellet hit the target
And yes
Double Barrel is a good pick for it
perfect, so i just suck at aiming 
You can always pick ammo if needed
It works with melee? Alright, that makes it easier. It just takes forever I guess
Yeah it's any kills while having 10 or more MMF stacks
yeah because it's 2500 kills xd
On a good game I get like 5-600 in auric
But you can easily see a game where you only get half that if the AI director chills out
Or you just have that rare game where your teammates aren't eating the paint chips off the walls
yeah it's a love hate relationship with that ability
on the one hand absurd damage and easy highlighting of every gunner/specialist for you to kill
on the other hand oh my god how does the game always have one singular poxwalker glued to my back
And the mortis trial upgrade makes your gun have infinite ammo!
It doesn't even seem that much damage outside of gunners
then again I am using a 350 power laspistol
It is a lot of extra damage
I'll try it some more, I'll just spam it
Just how much bonus damage? I am not a fan of executioner stance on Vet myself
I never looked
25% ranged damage
25% weakspot damage for ranged attack
Oh, that is a lot since highlighted kills refresh the duration right?
Felt like a big increase on the bolter
Which is just about the only thing I use it for lol
I haven't used it since we got the talent trees
yes it's also just a lot of damage in general
I knew it was good, I just don't vibe very well with it
Even infiltrate looks more tempting after the shout
It's like oggy's gunlugger one, but, I don't have the safety of being an oggy

I remember seeing epic_cole go full auto with the agripinaa version in the mortis trials

got it on first try with double barrel, thanks lad ^^
It doesn't feel too great when you don't have time and space to work
It's outright good if you have that honestly
There in lies the issue. Randos don't do shit lol
you don't have an escape tho
like we just got swarmed I insta die because there's no VoC or Infiltrate to get out lol
becuase I am a Vet, my melee skills are not so good
one guy goes down with 5 maulers on him, what do I do?
I can't pop VoC or Infiltrate and get him up
No no, they're good, just no speed if you're not using Trench Fighter
Bring It Down, Superiority Complex, that other 30% damage node, that effects everything, not only ranged
fair
Yeah, if you aren't careful you can go from full HP and toughness to half HP or worse... Especially if you get hitstunned right as several other melee hits were about to land...
Vet seems tougher than it is because of iron will
As soon as you lose that, it goes downhill fast
Yeah, and having no easy means of hitstun immunity like arby/oggy/zealot can make it spiral straight downwards x.x
Making sure you're killing those dogs, huh 
Yes.
Hm... that might make it be a bit less effective... you know... against flak/maniac/unyielding

also infested lol
I am looking at this Laspistol...and i ask myself what is wrong with it.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It's the only thing that seems to keep vet from imploding in most fights
I don't see a problem here other than my own preference for crit-fishing really. Maybe a better roll for higher stopping power.
Well... that and you know... taking your melee weapon out when enemies are nearby <_<'
Yeah, anything other than Knife or DS feels rough with that.
or Claw
Veterans in Melee Combat? Iam sorry.. that is just heresy..
Even the knife will do something to get them a bit off of you x.x
Oh yeah ofcourse, also the added mobility can allow some push-slide shenanigans to wiggle out of bad spots
BUT still
Feels too squish if you get past that upper DR from IW
And the sources of toughness regen suck
Well that's because TGH regeneration sucks
TGH generation not bad
But still not good
I imagine the real issue is vet relying on high TGH to be tanky
And you have havocs which discourage it
Any practical difference running with a DS instead of a knife and vice-versa?
using laspistol without autofire mod is carpal tunnel simulator lol
Knife higher mobility
DS higher damage
But both are relatively safe compared to other melee options vet has, ye?
Yes and no
They can't do hordes
Yeah, they can't go into hordes well at all
They're great for target picking and mobility
Shock Maul mk3 + Plasma has been my jam for a while now as a Weapons Specialist, and I dump ammo on plasma (difference is 10 uncharged shots). Honestly recommend a lot. The shocker attack is so satisfying, especially versus bulwarks and lieutenants.
where's path
who knows about autoguns
I am considering playing with the agri IAG but I have a feeling there'll be no real reason to use it over the vraks
I shoved a burster into the wall, dodged back, got one shot, okay lol
Bingo
There is no reason
Cause the Vraks outdoes it in every way
get well soon columnus iag
I actually used that one a lot while levelling vet, in like malice/heresy, it was fine
just did not know any better
U like Agripina IAG
I like Agripina Combat Shotgun
We are not the same 
I like how I run infiltrate on Vet then die because I am too scared to pop it
Why are we still thinking vet isn't capable in melee though
π
Knife can do hordes. It just isn't the very best at it. Dueling sword is the one that really suffers at horde clear.
"Everything can do everything"
Truuu
poxburster went on me while I was in stealth and killed me what lmao
But honestly knife is not a bad horde clear weapon.
do poxburster have the 6th sense?
If they were targeting you before and you stealth a moment before they lunge, their tracking will still get you.
I'll say that means they have the 6th sense
Essentially. Also it is not a good idea at all to do that to begin with.
You will get your teammates killed that way.
Oh no I didn't even see the poxburster
it was behind me while we were fighting a Nurgle beast
I was retreating to shoot it
Horde clear is nice
Horde management is dogshit
My fav Combat shotgun and my most used ranged weapon xD
Yep. It kills. But you need space to manage the horde more than other weapons, especially with the lower stamina stat.
I think the oly weapon I've used that's bad at horde clear gotta be the DS
when I use DS I bring a gun with good suppression to deal with hordes
like the bag or iag
or the boltgun
Y'all getting some sus takes while I'm not looking 
Itβs because he sucks at knife
Yeah. Lacerate is good general blessing for horde clear. If you wanna be fancy, executor with heavy block cancel is also great.
But you wanna be tall to really maximize executor
Lacerate is good, believe it or not.
L*cerate
Flesh Tearer doesn't have as much uptime on Vet in practice.
Unless you're perpetually at max crit from dodging.
Which, doesn't always happen.
And it's really, really easy to keep uncanny up.
On Fury zealot, flesh Tearer is 100% the better choice because you have way more uptime on crit chance.
Plus, vet has so much innate weakspot damage that in a lot of cases, you don't need bleed to proc on a weakspot hit.
I hope they buff his crit chance
His potential crit chance is fine. Thing is youre not always going to be reaching that potential. And that's why flesh Tearer can fall flat sometimes.
It can also proc from multiple sources
True. But you still have to proc it.
Sometimes, that just isn't going to happen consistently.
While Lacerate, sometimes you might whiff weakspots anyway so it's a lot more forgiving too.
I am the Emperor's weakest believer.
(until death + holy revenant)
The thing with lacerate is that its effectiveness is tied to how bad the player is at clicking heads with a weapon made for that
Also holy shit shock trooper is op
at least with laspistol
I wonder if laspistol is even viable to take on Zealot just because of shock trooper being Vet only
It's goated with the slow helbore too
Lacerate propaganda
Oh, quite
π
Laspistol is one of those funny finesse weapons, and zealot can get crit by the bulk
It still encourages headshots, but you get some good mileage from the crits alone
Hey
You know exactly what I mean by they can't hordes



Not really. Because you still do crazy weak spot damage. The point of lacerate is to be a buffer in those situations where it isn't entirely ideal to go for weak spots
For one. Have you ever tried consistently hitting a weak spot on a chaos spawn pummeling you???
It doesn't really work out a lot of the time.
That's where riposte comes in
Why would you use riposte
Because it's a finesse weapon
But then you lose out on uncanny. The primary thing that makes bleed actually good for multiple purposes.
No I don't, I use uncanny and riposte
I don't touch lacerate even if people pay me
Then this don't pertain to you then π‘
Look, what I'm getting at, is that lacerate in practice, honestly is a pretty good choice if youre looking for consistent horde clear.
adorbs
It's one of those, "it doesn't sound like it should work but it does" sort of deals.
how is Devil's Claw tho
Because even in horde clear, not everything you cleave will get hit in the head, and that also procs lacerate.
Riposte feels more single targety to me in the time I've used it.
Mid.
aw
It works but it leaves a lot to be desired with armor.
I just spam dodges and it triggers most of the time
I stopped using shred on dueling sword after people nagged at me to use riposte
Now it's pretty much a fixed pick on weapons that have it
Granted it's also a case of "if you're too good at pushing poxwalkers, it doesn't trigger"
loadouts are cool but they're also annoying sometimes
And purgatus βοΈ 
Not anymore
Because uh the damage from the damage stat actually relates to the direct hit or something of the sort
REAL
wow uncanny strike is insane
Damage only affects fire impact damage
That's what I said, I think 
flesh tearer + uncanny strike for combat blade good?
Damage on the flamer only affects the impact damage
Burn stat is the bread and butter
And the damage comes from the burn dot
I do not recommend any bleed blessings
But Flesh Tearer is leagues better than Lacerate
Is really not that much better
oooh executor blessing?
Again, depends on how high you keep your crit chance.
it would work so well with uncanny
You're the one that said knives aren't good for horde clear tbf
what would you pair with uncanny strike?
Riposte or Precognition
yup
Duelist at home
Reci is Blazing piety
But 1 talent
Desperado is just always active dueslist on a smaller scale
Blazing piety but I have to actually play the game
Not beating the "every class is just a flavor of zealot" allegations
psyker is pretty different
also imo every class is a flavor of veteran
zealot is melee veteran
psyker is psyker veteran
arbitrator is tank veteran
ogryn is large veteran
Anyway, check this dumb fucking shit out
yay the veteran tree
I am the smoke king and none shall see
Alas, I cannot 
veteran tree moment
I really hope they rework vet tree
I could do it for the memes, but I get the feeling that my survivability really depends on them 
after seeing arbitrator tree it's like oh well you know how to design a good tree apparently
do it, ez

Fine.
I will do the funny.
Agile taxe and helbore 3 (currently 4, for some reason)
w
Helbore 4 went to the vigilant school of naming conventions
Where they just swapped random shit for no fucking reason
Peak sigma behaviour 
wow double barrel and combat knife is so nice
with kraks
gambling for kraks payed off
gambling for kraks?
gamba π¦¨
Hey folks, new to the game and community, been trying my hand at completing penances, but have been stuck on On Overwatch for quite some time now, any tips to completing it?
No health damage, been a real pain
oh
I did it on malice with bots on consignment yard and there are definitely easier ways to do it like archivum sycorax probably
no it was always just health damage
just run the standard shout vet build and uuuh
I dunno use a super safe melee weapon
No health damage from melee hits, been trying the stealth build but it ainβt been working out well
yeah melee weapons to not use: chainaxe
gimme a sec
yeah if you use the stealth build you are gonna have trouble in the downtime between abilities whereas voice is almost always up and actively protects you from harm
Chainaxe good for CC I take it?
My b canβt read lol
yeah that is a perfectly fine build
the Voice of Command ability lets you get gold toughness
meaning you basically have even more shields in melee
and you can spam it off cooldown
the fart ability
Saving that build, Ty. Weapon recommendations?
duelling sword with, something reliable that can get every enemy off you
Ah the ol reliable I see
lacks horde clear but you can nonstop dodge and has great elite killing
oh the only thing about the above build is
maybe go middle for kraks + fire team instead
just in case you get a boss
do not do that
because you REALLY don't want to engage with bosses
shredders are the strongest grenade by far
kraks are great early on but fall off later when you get good guns
yeah they annihilate bosses
didn't know bosses had so little health on malice
otherwise yes
shredders are the god
and shredders could save you elsewhere too
if horde builds up or is trouble or too many elites etc
Yea just been running malice to complete this, Iβll try the krak way for this penance
but for me personally I ended up doing consignment yard, was very chill
only needed kraks to deal with guaranteed end of run boss
I did consignment yard cuz you can just position yourself out of melee completely a lot of the time
by like
chilling on crates and in wide open areas
I really like the recon lasgun, any tips for building it?
This is the safest dueling sword build
get shock trooper and infernus perk
clutched a revive and then died to a dog like 10m away from a teammate 
agile and precog just lets you infinitely dodge
DC pretty dope when I can just ignore it entirely for carapace
but typically you would want uncanny strike instead of agile
Canny strike: enemies have more rending against you per weak point hit
I assume the shock trooper is a talent? I cant find it in the blessing menu
big funny
currently have the dumdum and infernus blessings on my mk VIc
that sounds correct
that's good
I have this
I would say deathspitter is better but like
eh
it really does not matter since anything the recon can damage will just die either way
this is what I have currently
you guys dont run headhunter on the recon lasgun?
infernus is fun because you can stack a shit load of burn on crushers
which one was headhunter?
100% crit headshot damage?
DoTs barely do any damage to carapace
I just use my assault chainsword for anything that I cant kill with my lasgun
oh
You need onslaught for that to matter though.
eh
its kinda nuts
no that's really really uneeded
you do NOT need onslaught
DoTs are horrible against carapace without some form of rending.
if you're running a recon lasgun you're gonna crit like crazy either way
which part
damage to flak armored enemies or carapace?
Honestly, recon Las in general is just not good against crushers unless you have onslaught tbh
recon is flak maniac
or flak crit
onslaught is a meme talent
but it's again, just fun if you wanna lean fully into endless LMG recon gunning
it doesn't matter either way
just stab crusher in face
with your sword
and then he die
si
typically when people run the recon lasgun they're funning a full deadshot, shocktrooper build
using the talent slot to give more crits is typically less ideal
ahh i see
oh my build had deadshot but I dropped it cuz it annoyed me
i thought it would be good for ammo efficiency
it's fine to use
cause more crits
yeah so the recon with shock trooper alone is enough ammo conservation on its own you basically have infinite ammo
if you're not running deadshot on the talent tree then yeah, sure go for it
gives you that extra crit
i might get a recon lasgun with 60% on ammo lol
but even without that blessing the recon still crits a lot
i see
nah, leave it at 60 collateral
collateral is pretty much doing nothing
on the super off chance you're nonstop shooting for 13 minutes straight then ammo comes into play
but collateral wouldn't come into play no matter what you did
yeah don't dump ammo
alr
the chances you'll stagger even a poxwalker is basically nonexistant
i will stick to my current one
because it will be dead
you'll lose like, what, recon with only 40% ammo, has only 460 rounds soooo 60% is probably like 500-ish, so you'd lose over 100 ammo from dumping ammo
you probably don't want to dump ammo
if you look at what collateral does too it's like uhhh
oh wow, missing out on... 1.65 stagger instead of 1.55, or something. oh no!!!!!!!!!!
it barely changes anything
thats so little
Also staggering is kind of an anti synergy with recon
Since it throws off your shot at the little times it actually does cause any stagger so it's not as easy to hit heads
Thanks for all the advice guys, really appreciate
Gonna keep throwing myself at the grinder for this challenge, hope I can complete it soon
yeah just remember some maps are gonna be easier and some harder
also I did it with bots, you may have better results with people but you may have worse results because bots rubber band to you constantly and can completely take care of hordes for you
whereas other players, uhhh, they are random and they won't lift a finger to help you complete some weird penance
How can I play with bots only?
Needs 2 ppl min.

Can't solo without mods, you get no rewards as well.
Could play 500 ping to Africa.
Is kinda dead.
They wanted to play with bots
Sounds like fun
Thing is, you can't barring playing on a dead server or by mods.
Africa is basically dead.
APAC is ded when I'm playing since I hilariously run on EU timezone even from APAC.
uh yeah I dunno how active your timezone is but for me I can basically queue any random malice mission and I get a solo lobby lol
As said, ded servers would work.
i just realized
Standing heeeeere

the cultists :(
it is the truth
Yeah, even with a mediocre blaze force sword build you can do massive dps
We do recommend not using wound curios
But hey
If you feel comfortable with it
So be it
You should run 3 stamina curiou instead (jk)
more valid pick tbh
It is

Either pure ranged or melee
Also
Didn't the power sword use to have 2 swings without power cycler?
I vividly recall using a mk6 with BM and slaughterer
power sword used to have having like 6 or 8 swings
i dont actually remember how it worked
nm 
I remember power cycler used to give it a ridiculous amount of swings, or maybe it already had a huge base and people just put PC for even more
But I also remember that after the power cycler nerf, I would still be able to do 2 swings for the push attack combo on crushers
it honestly just feels strange now
it's like you get one swing without power cycler
it's like uh okay why
no it was power cycle
does my guy really have to like hold the sword up and go BZOOO every time I want to use the power part of it
p sure you've always had only the one base swing
are space marines always doing that or do they just swing at shit and it dies
it seems dumb to me
and you only get 3 swings with power cycler? like wow god damn way to just eat an entire blessing mandatory blessing for no good reason
I feel like I want to be silly enough to look up the patch notes for a change to the base swings
I couldn't possibly have imagined that because I don't imagine good things
also people have complained about every single nerf the PS has received
and it's still vet's best melee by miles
Now I need to use the dumb blessing for the crusher double-tap
Uninstalled and left a bad review on Yelp
is this on forum?
yeah

time for martyr vet
@tall torrent

Simply shove enough Psy Rating up her mind
Challenge the emperor himself
Good DB perks and blessings, talk to me.
Using Deadshot and weapons specialist for what is basically guaranteed crits.
You donβt need deadshot
Weapon spec is far more than enough
Blessings is Manstopper and either Flechette or scattershot
Perks is flakiac
I can have 2 of the same blessing?
Shush
So, explain why I should run this?
Manstopper shouldnβt need explaining
Itβs infinite cleave
Breaking game mechanics is strong
WS gives you 100% crit; flechette gives bleed on crit, manstopper gives better cleave on crit; simple as
Flechette improves consistency against hordes and stuff you tag with part of the shot, Manstopper lets you shoot with 1 stack or fire twice while still getting a crit
How many Stacks do I need for 100? 3?
Yep
Yes
Is it bad I'm running this with Voice of command?
No
That is the best ability so no.
VoC is the best ability and will be until they fix the tree
Atleast on auric you can kill a sniper at any distance due to flechette bleed if you crit
Nice!
Also, if you really wanna see funny damage.
Run that with a weapon that has uncanny.
It's complete shit at killing but it's the best I can do.
I had no idea how dogshit shovels were until recently.
Perhaps because yours isnβt in any usable condition
Been grinding to afford better upgrades.
The shotgun took me ages to get a good roll. Broke my bank.
Anyways.
I'm thinking of adding damage to pox walkers to my shovel.
It is not worth it.
My chainsword performs better than the damn thing tho.
It's why I used it for so long.
There are better weapon perks for the Power Maul too
Because chainsword has really good clear
No need for infested
Doesnβt do anything else though
Good for applying bleed to heavies.
If you need to...
Donβt run Bloodletter
Chainsword is rampage and wrath/shred I think
Path mightβve found something better
Ah.
Itβs fine at it, but chainsword kinda sucks and to play itβs only role it needs cleave and crits
Would it be wise to choose PS for my shotgun build?
Anything with good singletarget
So, yeah.
emperor has eye of joyeuse and infinite dogmatic points
sorry
What Braced autogun is good for vet?
Decimator too
Rampage is purely for mass & honestly for mass you only need cleave; bloodletter gives you soo much dmg vs anything but carapace its criminally underrated; its like not taking puncture for bolt weapons imo
The only thing youβre revβing besides a crusher/mauler is a bulwark
And revβing is still a risky proposition always
i personally don't run shred on chainsword despite finesse modifier; of all things; Shock maul has better weakspot & crit multi than chainsword; chain has 1.1x and no extra crit chance to boot; wrath is like mandatory cause cleave & bloodletter gives you alot fo dmg vs single targets
reapers, bosses, captains, mutans
Donβt you oneshot mutants outside of havoc anyway
if you know your positioning & time well it is not
nope
on heavy rev you do on auric
Wait what thatβs exactly what I said
in havoc you dont ever; bloodletter allows you to 1 shot a mutant on auric on light att rev for sure
in havoc (counting other buffs from talent tree ofc) i believe you can 1 shot a mutant due to bloodletter
not to mention if you cannot finish revving the 14 bleed stacks will still be applied & generate dmg vs a pack of any elites for example
same for boss if you get pressured
and are unable to attack
the only chain weapon that really does not use bloodletter is evicerator
other than that; chainaxe & chainsword should always have it imo
Chaxe will never be a proper horde clearing weapon until the remove the dmg cap
Bloodletter & Thunderous allows you to amplify the strengths of the chainaxe to allow it to chew through single targets & the moveset on Mk IV allows you to CC the horde; chaf clearing does not matter much when you can CC it with ease
maybe thats why rampage is not used on chainsword but wrath as an example
Do you get anything for killing stuff in game?
Like... if you see the green ghost boss and can walk around it... should you? there's no benefit to killingg it is there?
penances
and melk bounties for boss killing
Is there a penance for a daemonhost
there is even a steam achievement
Ah so challenges. But nothing inherently for the kill
I'm fairly new. Haven't even considered mods. Are they officially supported and still allow public matchmaking?
Hello guys I just started playing and was trying out veteran, are there any weapons good for horde clearing aside from power sword where u actually have to use the special ability?
What Braced autogun is good on vet?
Tactical axe.
Apparently.
Define use the special
If vet can use heavy chainsword. One of the 2 variants has a fantastic push-followup attack. And obviously the special attack (revving up) is useful
O have tried it as well the rashad, ove noticed tac axe is good bec it one shots 1 mob but the cleave isnt really that good
The Devs dont care for mods; they are run by the creators of them so they are safe to use
You have to charge the force sword before u can spam 2-3 light attacks on it then charge it again right?
Tac axe has some of the fastest clear in the game, it all hinges on a single blessing, brutal momentum
Nothing like that elsewhere on vet
Except like
Just wanna clarify since "don't care for" can mean they dislike it.
Mods are safe to use including public matchmaking and won't cause anyone harm?
Heavy sword 7
is it really that necessary tho on it? Despite obvious weakspot dmg amplification
I just wanna straightly spam light attacks tbh as im a new player
Then combat axe
Basically
yeah; cause its juts like mods for tf2 for exaple; only you can see them
Itβs such an incredibly large bonus that itβs hard to not take
Ok i will try again with combat axe
Client side stuff, got it. Thanks!
exacly thats the word
so in your opinion; headtaker or brutal?
Combat axe requires a specific build to work but itβs pretty simple, brutal momentum + headtaker and carapace + Unarmored
Both
i use agile
Innate crit means shred isnβt needed
Gross
This one is the rashhad one right?
Headtaker is usually needed for bruiser breakpoints anyway, so you need to both
Yes
i like the infinite survival aspect of it; until they nerf it (they should) i will advocate for using it; so which one; brutal or headtaker?
You need both unless you can hit your bruiser breakpoint without headtaker
Brutal momentum obviously wins but the weaponβll suffer without headtaker
so if we dont consider breakpoints brutal; if we do; headtaker got it
both
Not exactly
Itβs brutal momentum both ways
You are just less effective if you canβt hit the scab bruiser 1 tap
its chaf tho; if you can CC it the breakpoint does not really matter that much cause push att on taxe is that good
Itβll slow you down
And get you bound up on stuff in ways you otherwise wouldnβt
Killing 4 targets a swing always versus getting stuck on a common trash target
Youβll get around it with crits but consistency is always preferred
whatβs the dump stat for power sword
time is but an illusion 
Mobility or cleave targets
An illusion with quite a few game mechanics tied to it
thank you
i just got a dump mobility one first try lmao
what is the chances of that
Why doesn't the combat axe have cleave?
i understand the appeal but considering the enemy is not that threatening or hard to CC the breakpoint imo does not matter that much; if it would be ragers then ofc but its chaf and that boils up to be able to CC it & cleave through it rather than doing breakpoints
imagine caxe with cleave... the old days of unnerfed brutal momentum
i remember those days
Breakpoints enable your cleave in this case
A missed breakpoint is a swing that stops
The Caxe should at least have a fast swing speed.
very true in general but considering taxe moveset; the push att gives you good CC so the argument is not that strong for that weapon imo; for other weapons like lets say chainsword it is or heavy sword/devil claws cause their push atts are oof
exept Chainsword Mk XIIIg but thats an oof weapon
It has good CC but it ain't really gonna stagger things if it doesn't hit them
And taxe cleave is low so it ain't hitting much
push has a wide cone
thats where CC comes from; not the swing
pushing is a circle actually
Yeah the weapon is safe but it already takes itβs time against carapace, Iβd rather play to its strength of an incredible clear speed as opposed to running a blessing whoβs effect can be circumvented with dodge control
thats why before taxe buffs Mk VII was the taxe to use cause push att - heavy - repeat was (and still is) very good
Mk2 worked just as well
The only difference is the combo you use when out of stamina
preference 
I use Mk IV because it's got personality
And also I use it for exe vet I ain't getting brutal momentum breakpoints whether I like it or not
whenever i saw taxe being used nobody used 2 or 4; only 7
Mk4 only really works with martyrdom I think
that changed after the buffs tho
Iβd have to ask ainz
I used 2 a bunch but 7 feels better with light heavy on low stamina instead of heavy heavy
They play almost entirely the same
7 does look better though
the visual appeal is present for me too
I feel like taxes needs a longer view model...
For me itβs literally just the color because I have had weapon customization for ages
use 'Weapon FOV' mod
The default mk7 head looks pretty good though
this
very oof my friend
How can an inanimate object with no life signs have something that is inherently attributed to a life/digital organism? Does not make sense compadre

Because it requires effort
There kind of was, they suspended it recently
You could put in a support ticket and they would migrate you
what a misatke on their part; one of many to count
literally why
I forget where they said it
i always wanted to be an imigrant... says no one ever 
I just realised something.
Power Swords don't go ignore bulwark shields
Never knew.
the machine spirit
is a weapon such as taxe be considered a machine? it does not have wires nor it has any circuits or mechanism; has no digital presence either; so i think not
if it would be a shovel (the flip one) it would be cause it has a mechanism but taxe? nah
Considering how every machine in 40k has some bio-tech shit in it, it makes sense.
but thats the point; taxe is not a machine
It could have some meat helping it cut better or some shit...
You don't know!
guns can also have machine spirits
The Rashad specifically is wielded by the GSC biker unit and labeled on the back of the box as a power axe
Oh god, miniature talk.
What
I think it is.
Tabletop is the reference material
Itβs weird that you groan about the primary focus of the universe the game is set in
Because I don't consume the tabletop.
power sword, shock mauls, chain weapons, flip shovels, relic blades, force swords & greatswords, maul & shields, crusher, thunderhammers - all those weapons have some form of mechanism to them so they could be considered having a spirit; just like all range weapons
but taxes, caxes, hswords, dclaws, knifes, dueling swords, standard shovel, all ogryn melee weapons exept power maul - they are just a piece of metal/wood; completelly dead
Machine spirits have no consistency
Yet they recieve blessings from the omnissiah.
Itβs a writer to writer weapon to weapon thing
spirituality has a psycological component aswell
Actually, could be some warp fuckery related to it...
Not sure how.
But seems it could be.
Anyways.
Back to veteran stuff.
You lot ever think about the difference between the MK6 and Mk3 PS?
Sunder?
never rlly cared cus ps is kinda cracked out regardless 
Heavy attacks have like 4x cleave and Cara armor slide
Ah, blessing
Itβs a bromentum sidegrade
heavies on ps ..
Not better than the mk6 crusher 2 tap
I pardon your beg?
Special -> PA -> Light
You need a bit of damage for it so it isnβt out of box but if you miss it an extra light does it
i do love the poke pa
Is this with a maxed stats PS?
I don't have one at the moment.
Yeah
58%damage.
All combos are built around max statted weapons
I mean
There is
Theyβre still the best way to deal damage a certain way
Youβll just miss some breakpoints
PA -> Light is still the best method of single target damage on mk6
tbf i dont think stats make THAT huge a difference
You just wonβt 2 tap
4 tap.
you hitting the head ?
Yep. While charged. All Heavies.
Heavies deal less damage than the PA and light 4 to carapace
All lights = 5 hits.
Meant heavy attacks.
It was during PA.
Ooooh
How would you 2 tap with 1 attack
It's like the BFGS, then?
In what way
Itβs push is a stagger button
It deals 1 point of damage
But it will open bulwarks and stun most enemies
Is that why it uses up 1 charge of cycler?
Itβs either 3:30 am or you just arenβt making sense
the range on it is kinda crazy too ..
It's for the mark 6 isn't it?
Yes
At least it's meta.
Special -> push attack -> light will kill a crusher with a few damage boosts
Is it worth using the second heavy, ever?
i personally dont really touch heavy all that often on ps..
On mk6?
Ye
You donβt use heavies on mk6
Unless youβre running sunder
Which is better run on mk3
Oh.
Itβs an incredibly braindead weapon
Block-> Special -> Light -> Light -> light
And Special -> PA -> light
Are itβs only combos
the fact that u can pretty much just hold block while charging it
x_x
free ass weapon but im not gonna complain
I donβt like using it
Weapons that are just spam of either light or heavy just arenβt very fun for me
I feel like the mk 6 has shitty hit detection.
ive never had any hitreg problems with it
It has the same hit detection everything else does
are u not hitting his shoulder there
Shouldn't be, right?
Well it says Flak and Mauler head is Carapace iirc
Also can anybody tell me what are the correct combos to use on MK3 Shock Maul?
or the other one, I just like the lights more on MK3
I just do a Special > Heavy > Heavy on stuff like Bulwarks and Crushers, and Light with an occasional Special (mostly ragers) on everything else
Horde Clear Combo; Heavy - Light - Repeat OR Push Attack - Light - Heavy - Repeat
Single Target Combo; Special - Heavy (Repeated) OR Light - Heavy (Repeated) OR Light - Heavy - Repeat

Thank you!
Talk me out of why ranged weakspot damage is so bad on hellbore
is the 10% vs 25% against armour type really just a no brainer
weakspot damage only affects the damage added by the weakspot hit
not the overall damage of the hit
yeah tested it
ive been talked out of it
so
Helbore has natural cleave without the blessing too
apparently
Hello there - for the penance βkill armoured enemies with kraksβ does it count only enemies with carapace armour?
All armour. Throw into scab or mobians.
Lethal prox lets you clip a few extra.
Thanks π
finally got myself power sword
80 in everything cept mobility just joined up the game. brunt had it and it was 1 minute till reset
eat melta melk
The Power Sword should dump Cleave Targets.. wasn't it?
ex stance should give 50% stam
does this stack on multiple targets or does it move if i start shooting at something else?
I think you can test that in the psykanium
It might pop up in the bottom left, uh the little squares
fav shovel?
it stacks per target you hit
It was a shot blessed by Sigmar himself.
or.. more like..
A grenade blessed by the Emperor.
That was cooll
Being realistic tho.. you probably just got lucky.
All skill
guys, how do i build a graced auto gun, perks, blessing and dumbstat ?
I found out recently about this website where ppl post their builds and its nice to learn from
π Pins has all this information and more-- specifically the Hammer of the Emperor guide. It's a bit old, but most of it is still relevant.
yeah be careful about the builds here, especially the popular ones
tend to be shit
Literally
I'm gonna make a really really dumb build
Fun
okay
click the pinned threads and use the hammer of the emp guide.
thank you
pretty sure you need a certain amount of impact to open them up, but it can
what you listening to? lol
I think that is MPN2 soundtrack
yeahj
MPN2 soundtrack
cool
Good point
So I just need to proc infinite Warp phenomena
Let's get hustling
Also Void Shadows is a very good dlc
Very gimmicky fights as well
But unfortunately those dumbass set my rogue trader on fire
You don't set a pyromancer on fire
Amazing
Nature is soo beautiful
if i dont have the patience for a perfect plasma is it better to go 80 thermal or 80 charge
why charge is even a thing as a stat
prob 80 thermal
so you can get 8 uncharged shots
when do you like... use charged shot
when you want to waste ammo and lower your dps
charge
There's not really any good reason to. It uses an excessive amount of ammo, creates a lot of heat and risks exploding
But sometimes, fuck it. That thing needs to die
Because that's the whole weapon
Vigi?
Someone using vigi autogun?!
Vigilant autogun
Was 1 shotting gunners havoc 40
Specials were a 2 tap for flamer and trap
My fav sniping gun
Hoow do you guys ddo so much damageee
havent rlly tried out autoguns yet but the taxe is certainly something π
