#

It's pretty eh

obtuse finch
#

You mean onslaught?

#

or

#

Huh?

tame lodge
#

No

#

Exploit Weakness

#

You can avoid it

#

Getting 25 toughness

obtuse finch
#

AH

#

sorry

#

Yes. Good.

tame lodge
#

And still get 10% attack speed

obtuse finch
#

I don't even know if i should move things around to get an ourplestone

#

but like

#

im running plasma-explode-your-shit build

#

so like

#

do I need to tag enemies, or

tame lodge
#

You'll be fine
Vet can go keystoneless

#

And yes you should be tagging enemies, generally speaking

obtuse finch
#

Sorry,

#

tagging with buffs

#

or marksman's focus/ etc

#

Thoughts?

#

No ourple, but

covert fable
#

If you're taking krak

calm shard
#

kraks are spending a talent to remove your blitz but otherwise probably fine?

covert fable
#

U need the grenade regen 😭

obtuse finch
#

oh shit i forgot demo team and regen

calm shard
#

serrated is weird if you aren't using mercy killer knife, most people head over there for agile

calm shard
#

yeah checks out

#

uncanny strike is necessary to make knife function in its role tho

#

also makes the bleed do more damage\

covert fable
calm shard
#

double also do you know how critical hit damage is calculated

obtuse finch
#

alright

#

and i do not

calm shard
#

It's not 10% extra damage to the critical hit overall it is 10% extra damage to the difference between a crit and a normal hit

#

For example if you hit for 100 normally, and 200 on a crit

#

You are getting 210 damage not 220

obtuse finch
#

oh wow, thats a big difference (referring to how crits work)

#

i appreciate the explanation

calm shard
#

yeah

#

weakspot damage works the same way

covert fable
#

Try out +2 stamina on the knife

calm shard
#

applies to talents too but they're usually big enough values to be good investments anyways

obtuse finch
calm shard
#

I run my knife with +stam/carapace

#

I can see crit chance being alright since knife has super high finesse

covert fable
#

Yeah

calm shard
#

Not what I would run tho

#

Knife loves to spam push attacks

obtuse finch
covert fable
#

But that dodge perk keeps ur crit high

covert fable
calm shard
#

And knife has...how much bonus crit chance is it again?

#

17%?

covert fable
#

Idk

calm shard
#

15%

#

knife innately has +15% crit chance

#

I think it was tactical axe with 17%

covert fable
#

That's a good amount

calm shard
#

wait no they're 12

#

nevermind

covert fable
#

Desperado gives 10% crit chance right

obtuse finch
#

oki

#

dokey

#

FUCK

#

grumble

#

grumble

#

alright

#

here's everything

#

Thoughts?

#

I run damnation

crimson wyvern
#

does this still mean anything if you're always going for headshots anyway?

#

does it become a crit crit?

orchid hemlock
# obtuse finch Yes. That's why I asked

Crit damage is probably the most useless stat in the entire game please never take it

I also wouldn't put crit chance on either of the weapons

Stamina on the weapon is also bad

hollow ibex
crimson wyvern
#

im not a math nerd what is !=

hollow ibex
#

Crit gives a damage boost and headshot gives a damage boost

mortal aspen
#

"is not"

crimson wyvern
#

ah right

mortal aspen
#

there are crit headshots

hollow ibex
#

Yeah

crimson wyvern
#

Thanks for the info 🙂

4% combat ability regen should be on all curious

hollow ibex
obtuse finch

#

Crit chance is ok on knife, but on plasma I don't see the reason if you already have gets hot

Having the extra raw damage helps with breakpoints

covert fable
# obtuse finch

Get rid of the skill that gives nades from the ammo things

covert fable
#

And bring the

#

20% dmg against monstrosities

#

Actually if u play damnation idk how easy it is to regen grenades from elites

orchid hemlock
#

Stamina on the weapon is also pretty strange because it provides nothing to the weapon itself

#

And it is only applied when you have the weapon on hand

hollow ibex
#

Stamina on knife is ok

#

Vet knife

orchid hemlock
#

If you switch to another weapon or grenades it doesn't apply anymore

obtuse finch
covert fable
#

I told them to swap health curio to a stamina one

#

2 toughness 1 stam curios

orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
#

Stamina curios are completely optional

orchid hemlock
#

Weak spot damage is almost as bad as crit damage

obtuse finch
#

god fucking damnit

hollow ibex
#

I don’t run them

covert fable
#

Try stamina and carapace on knife

#

X

obtuse finch
#

thanks

#

alright

#

im just going to stop asking for build advice here because no matter what i choose it's wrong

covert fable
#

I forgot what I have on my knife

orchid hemlock
#

For knife I usually got maniac/carapace

I don't use plasma but I assume it's something like flak and elites

covert fable
#

Maniac ues

#

Yes*

orchid hemlock
#

Instead of doing trial and error

calm shard
#

weapons kind of need their optimal setups to do their jobs

#

a suboptimal weapon is going to miss important breakpoints and functionality that enables it to actually do well at what it's good at

#

a heavy sword without brutal momentum won't have good horde clear which it is known for

#

ditto for the combat axe and tactical axe

obtuse finch
orchid hemlock
#

Are there any breakpoints for cara on the plasma? 🤔

#

I don't remember

calm shard
#

uuuh

obtuse finch
#

i might swap out cara for elites

calm shard
#

I think right click can one shot crushers with exe?

#

but then at that point the helbore can too

#

so

covert fable
#

Helbore can one-shot crushers? That's all I needed to hear

calm shard
#

requires exe stance

mortal aspen
calm shard
#

and like a lot of damage

#

and also a crit

obtuse finch
obtuse finch
covert fable
#

I never used plasma gun

calm shard
#

yeah

orchid hemlock
#

It's the reason why Vet has Asthma 😞

covert fable
#

You will need serrated blade if you plan to use mercy killer on the knife

orchid hemlock
#

Mercy is useless on knife if it has no bleed

covert fable
#

Yeds

orchid hemlock
#

Also reciprocity is extremely good on knife

#

Probably one of the best talents in the entire tree, so I would recommend taking it

obtuse finch
#

Alright

#

This seems to be what people have been telling me

orchid hemlock
#

What

hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

Ok u know what I'm just going to do it myself

obtuse finch
#

I have been @'d with this image several times

#

(not in this conversation)

obtuse finch
#

i moved one or two things around to better suit how i like to play

orchid hemlock
obtuse finch
#

Yeah that's

#

That's what I did

#

But I moved two to three nodes around

orchid hemlock
#

I honestly don't know what you can "move around" except maybe demo team

#

However now that I think about it, this build has no wave clear 🤔

obtuse finch
#

Well

#

I'm not doing things alone

#

so like

#

i can just let the other guys handle wave clear

#

This build was always meant to pop elites/toss grenades at armor

orchid hemlock
#

That's not what I mean, the range/melee weapons are supposed to compliment each other

#

Especially since you didn't take frags

obtuse finch
#

To me I've always though krak did much more damage

#

I've never used frag. im going to test it

orchid hemlock
#

Frag is an AOE that does bleed damage to everything it hits

obtuse finch
#

oh

orchid hemlock
#

Krak is a small explosion that just a lot of damage in a small area

obtuse finch
#

When I originally glazed over frag i thought it meant something completely different

tropic notch
#

Shedders are better than kraks

orchid hemlock
#

Tbh though, the knife has decent wave clear so I don't think it's that big of an issue

tropic notch
#

Needs catch a breath

obtuse finch
#

well given im running mercy killer knife

#

running frag seems like a good idea?

orchid hemlock
#

The problem with mercy is that it is a taxing blessing

#

For example if you are willing to put on riposte instead you can get access to one of the best nodes on the tree

tropic notch
#

On my knife I run uncanny ripoest

orchid hemlock
obtuse finch
orchid hemlock
#

The node right next to serrated

tropic notch
#

Mercy is cool but way too much investment

#

And if you’re running ws id get out for blood

orchid hemlock
#

Demo team is absolutely goated with frags

#

I wouldn't take the extra grenade over it

mortal aspen
#

I don't think the +1 nade node is needed

obtuse finch
tropic notch
obtuse finch
#

This seems a lot better actually (what I posted)

tropic notch
#

Try this

mortal aspen
#

the regen from kills will give more actual grenades

obtuse finch
tropic notch
obtuse finch
tropic notch
#

You’d be better off using uncanny riposte

obtuse finch
#

Alright, so swap MK with Riposte, and give it a +2 stamina perk?

tropic notch
#

And out for blood is a better confirmed kill

Stupid heretics, wearing flak armor when they can just tank shots with their thick skulls

wet elk
#

i wish they touch up vet a little

#

when against crushers do i just shoot them or do i go melee

cyan verge
hollow ibex
#

Best to melee usually

#

Unless you have a melee that can’t handle them

cyan verge
#

also yeah gunners for some reason have like 1400 hp

wet elk
hollow ibex
#

In which case I hope you took a gun or blitz that can kill them

cyan verge
#

power sword is fine too

wet elk
#

really dont like dueling sword for hordes

hollow ibex
cyan verge
#

well yeah cuz DS is not amazing against hordes

#

but it doesn't really need to be

#

you have shredders for that, RIGHT?

wet elk
#

yeah but they are finite

cyan verge
#

not when you're up the difficulties...

wet elk
#

i guess

#

but idk

tropic notch
#

Power sword is better than dueling sword

wet elk
#

having to rely on that doesnt sit well with me

hollow ibex
#

PS is the stronger weapon anyway

#

Harder to use though

cyan verge
#

I don't agree, it's generally less mobile and slower

tropic notch
#

Faster ttk vs crushers

cyan verge
#

makes it less safe to use

tropic notch
wet elk
#

the thing is that

hollow ibex
wet elk
#

its good vs everything

tropic notch
#

Ps is fine you just have to be patient

#

And use ws

#

And it’s not slow at all even without the buff form ws

#

Vet loves setup and precision

cyan verge
#

compared to the immediacy of a duelling sword it is much slower to swap, special, then begin your attacks, than to just swap duelling sword and immediately stab a guy in the face

#

oh and if some random horde is like trailing you and is keeping you from specialing it sucks

#

yes when it comes to havoc PS is the way to go but man

tropic notch
#

Me when I kill it with manstopper dbarrel

#

Or da grenade

cyan verge
#

it's just too fiddly to use for general use for me

idc how strong it is

Can you really call it a glass cannon when it can get ranged immunity on demand

#

Infinite blocking

A literal fucking shield

tame lodge

Yeah that's the cannon

hollow ibex
#

Yes

#

No glass

covert fable
#

Psyker is the glass

tame lodge
#

You still shouldn't get hit

hollow ibex
#

It’s a glass cannon for people that don’t know how to use defensive tools

tame lodge
#

Psyker too weak
Dies 2 hits

buoyant pewter
#

I consider it a glass cannon cause 1 mistake can be your last very easy.

covert fable
#

So it's a class cannon with good defensive stuff

Although I am planning to get ALL tdr and toughness nodes in the tree

Oops, wrong node lol

Onslaught is unfortunately quite expensive, so you'll have to make some sacrifices

azure narwhal

Recon lasgun benefits little for. WS, it will still buff you melee though

So I would consider dropping confirmed kill and WS

azure narwhal

eh yknow man it's like

if WS was more consistent with the crit

sure

Last one is more difficult though

i could maybe argue for it

but with how it is

eeeeh

i may just not be a WS enjoyer.

i wouldnt recommend dipping into both trees at the very top, choose one or the other imo

#

those points are better spent at the bottom where most of Vet's power is

buoyant pewter
#

If you really wanna have some extra toughness (and give some of your buddies some toughness) can always take FT's toughness regen on target kill effect

#

But its still throwing a point into something you don't necessarily need

wet elk
#

is stock on a plasma gun heresy?

buoyant pewter
#

The Binary Speaking lunatics would say so

#

Though as a fan of aiming my firearms at the enemy properly, its not heresy

I think that's the Loose Cannon

buoyant pewter
#

It's either Professional or Loose Cannon

Ok. Thats my favorite voice in the whole game I think. Either that one or male cutthroat

Question

buoyant pewter
#

Yes good sir

safe kestrel
#

This isn’t a callout to rag on people’s playing ability or anything. It’s an observation around critical decisions in havocs

#

How used to surviving on less than a wound in gray screen are vet players typically?

#

This is a decision over who takes medicae when both psyker and vet are in heavy corruption status

#

I think it should be vet because they need to see long range more than psyker does

serene bough
#

arguably vet bc gold toughness is more important than bubble

spring ocean
#

usually its vet

normal bay
#

Will probably come down to team comp. Would you rather lose your horde clearer or specialist sniper?

serene bough
#

but both classes are going to get sneezed on and die from stray melee hits without proper defensive play

spring ocean
#

but in rare cases it can be the psyker, very dependent on team comp

buoyant pewter
#

I'm usually giving my meds off to Psyker and Ogryn, one cause Psyker has low health pool generally and one bad mistake means our bubble goes away, and Ogryns are prime targets for throwers and grenadiers who take a lot of damage out of that often enough.

So I am usually playing sub-wound cause I have my shout usually as my 'protection' as much for the team.

safe kestrel
serene bough
#

you could make an argument for either class

safe kestrel
#

Most psyker players are probably accustomed to playing on gray screen for extended period by nature of the class

spring ocean
#

but imo boils down to who's more competent to hold their own

serene bough
#

pyrostaff is going to make mixed hordes a lot easier to deal with, but gold toughness will keep survivability up substantially

safe kestrel
#

But specialists and disablers like mutants can change the dynamic and ruin everything fast

buoyant pewter
#

My teams value Pyro more and bubble cause they despise gunners+snipers and mixed horde dynamics.

spring ocean
#

bubble just lets you play where you want mainly without getting fucked up too badly (from shooting units)

safe kestrel
buoyant pewter
#

And can make a bad wave of ranged units not feel as bad on our beefy guy (ogryn)

spring ocean
buoyant pewter
safe kestrel
spring ocean
#

usually when that happens I often assure them that I won't die.

buoyant pewter
#

Okay that makes a bit more sense to me.

safe kestrel
#

I think I made the right call regarding that

spring ocean
#

I usually tend to let people who are less experienced take the medicae so that they can stay in the fight longer

serene bough
#

Id say VoC is more important in those kinds of scenarios imo

spring ocean
#

unless I absolutely need it I won't use it, or unless it's an instance where I need to take it for future rough fights

safe kestrel
#

I really really want our long range guy to stay up comfy even if it means I’m playing on a hairs edge. I can hold on either way but I’d hate to lose the sniper/gunner killer especially on a level like the refinery ones underground

marble mantle
spring ocean
#

for sure, just preference when I play in lower havocs is all

safe kestrel
buoyant pewter
#

If I'm on deaths door (like sub 20 HP range, so even chip can get me inbetween a shout or random fire) I will usually ask for the Med, or a stim if in our group. Otherwise I do as much as I can to avoid using it for others who will likely take way more than I.

spring ocean
#

fair

serene bough
#

im guilty of not grabbing medicae unless im sub 10hp sometimes

buoyant pewter
#

You really like running the wire, Hugz XD

#

"I can go a little longer cap'n!" looks like they fist fought a ogryn with a plastic spork

serene bough
#

well it depends but a full heal on ogryn is more than a full heal on vet, so i'll gamble hoping a med stim pops up then go down and heal the wound

#

if i only have 1 wound left I'll take the medicae

safe kestrel
#

It was more or less a 3 man team because someone was playing arby and much less experienced than the rest, so he unfortunately died quite a bit. I don’t think vet player immediately understood how much I needed him

azure narwhal
safe kestrel
#

In a situation later the vet went down and shortly after because of that the ogryn went down. I managed a short clutch but the dynamic team composition is crucial

serene bough
#

I'd say grab ogryn damage and WS

#

but idk what weapons you're using

azure narwhal
#

boltgun n power sword

#

not the biggest fan of ws icl

serene bough
#

definitely grab ogryn damage then and test out FT

#

idk how much FT pushes breakpoints on bolter

#

but you should test to see if it makes a difference

buoyant pewter
safe kestrel
marble mantle
#

I wish fanning revolver was better

#

Where is my outlaw fantasy

serene bough
#

i agree, im just saying unless I'm down a wound I'd rather go down and wait for a green stim as opposed to using a medicae station

#

because a medicae use on someone with far more HP is more useful

#

vet and psyk gotta kinda get used to being in a position of being 2-tapped without proper toughness defense

one or the other is sufficient when paired w/ VoC and iron will

safe kestrel

It’s great on boss damage but I wish it handled mid level guys like gunners a little faster. The only real downside is lower ammo capacity

#

whats your point

safe kestrel
buoyant pewter
steep flower
# serene bough whats your point

being able to have multiple sources of toughness generation on a build is widely known to be a good choice;
Vet has O4B, CK & CaB
Zel has Second Wind & abilities
Psyker has... many choices for warp & non-warp usage
Ogryn has for both multiple or single target hits & steady grip
Arby has staggers & stamina used toighness regen

serene bough
#

yeah but vet is heavily taxed so spending points on toughness generation at the expense of combat effectiveness usually isnt a good idea

#

VoC + iron will spam is the main point of survival for vet anyways

steep flower
sudden cedar
#

When you have none of that, you'd be happy to have some other way to get toughness back.

steep flower
#

think differently my friend; not everything is obvious thumbsup_ogryn

buoyant pewter
#

There was a really interesting discussion awhile back to be a 'toughness printer' with Born Leader for the team

serene bough
#

i have considered it but its just a worse option

sudden cedar
#

Fair enough.

serene bough
#

there's a balance between survival and combat effectiveness and id rather output more damage if it means i can play well enough without needing several toughness nodes

#

2 points can be the difference between several nodes like ogryn damage, FT, trench fighter, weakspot dmg, etc. depending on the loadout

buoyant pewter
#

Yeee.

So it's useless 90% of the time 💀

No

But its still funny

Wasn't there also a triple-ability taking build someone also shared in here a bit ago too?

Takes Marksmen, CQK and FtE

All three 'ability' boosters

If you see a krieg vet with a Shovel and Helbore in h40, they're probably cracked out of their mind

Shovel is though.

Shhh don't let the rest of the other class chats know

Let us have our fun with helbore

Helbore is still more tricky to use than other meta options tbhi

Yeah, but it's super rewarding in the right hands

hybrid plover

It's probably one of the most balanced meta options. And I'm glad Fatshark made it that way.
