Agri its Surgical atp

dusty sapphire
#

So how about that krak nade buff though

tame lodge
#

Yes

thick rose
#

does krak explode faster than your team kills the target?

#

(lol)

tame lodge
#

Ammo nerf

dusty sapphire
tame lodge
#

That's it

dusty sapphire
#

Kraks were so terrible

#

Now they're not so bad i think

hallow cove
#

krak is 1sec explode now, have seen a lot less "wasted" kraks in the last 2-3 missions I was in

tidal gust
#

Anyone found a use for the new boltgun mark?

dusty sapphire
hallow cove
#

you mean not memes?

calm shard
dusty sapphire
#

It has a bigger aoe and more ammo, thats it tbh

#

Not that phenomenal to me

tidal gust
#

Still feels worse against crowds than the MKii

dusty sapphire
#

Just does less damage

tidal gust
#

Yeah but it kinda felt like it fails the second anything above a poxwalker came near you.

dusty sapphire
#

Honestly though i don't see its value for cc, slow to deploy and slow to reload with low mag count

hallow cove
#

oh with the big aoe it has does the bleed blessing work good?

tidal gust
#

Oh right bleed blessing memes. Should do that

tame lodge
#

Hey

#

Afaik

dusty sapphire
#

Personally i wouldn't use it for much but its nifty i think

tame lodge
#

Puncture never worked with aoe

#

Just saying

tidal gust
#

So it's just an outright downgrade from the iiB, damn.

hallow cove
#

if it doesn't it should lol

tame lodge
#

Just go pinning brittleness instead

dusty sapphire
tame lodge
#

Yeah we had plenty of sad people back then

#

Because of that

tidal gust
#

Bolt-pistol MkVI might be a decent panic stagger.

hallow cove
#

I haven't heard anyone talk about the chain sword changes, disappointing?

tidal gust
#

No idea, haven't used a chainsword in ages. Shovel > everything.

dusty sapphire
#

I'm a power sword man

#

Gonna test the falchion though

#

Its allright

#

The moveset is ass tho imo

On both marks

Did any content creator post a new plasma vet build? I hate working with the tree and just want the "meta" build

You will eat your power sword and plasma gun

I will definitely be eating my gun

unreal nova
#

So grenade boxes only give vets up to 3 'nades now.

#

And you can't pick them if you are 3/4 full.

#

Or am I bugged to heck?

tame lodge
#

Probably bugged

hallow cove
#

might be a bug, they combined the +1 nade and double nade perk, could have forgot the flag to allow pickups or something

tame lodge
#

Enhanced Blitz Arby's will only Regen to 3 grenades instead of 5

unreal nova
#

Like, I can 60 sec to 4 full or 5% RNG.

tall torrent
#

new best vet melee imo
power sword VI for pure dps
cbt axe III for blend of dps & defense
tac axe VII for defense

unreal nova
#

Also, IDK why ppl say much changed with DS4... I still poke things in the head in 4 hits.

And Path is always unamused by my build.

No treble?

@tropic halo Everything you do will generate threat on the enemies, making it more likely that they will attack you over someone else. This allows you to not only drop all threat you have with Infiltrate, but also generate less for a certain duration after leaving stealth, therefore.. saving you.. from getting instantly targeted in whatever potentially awkward situation you may have moved yourself into.

elder briar
#

which stat do i dump for the falchion mobility or heat management?

tame lodge
#

Basically every weapon sucks at body hits

turbid ibex
#

mobility

tame lodge
#

Don't even know why you're bringing it up

elder briar
#

gotcha

tame lodge
#

Have you seen dclaws base body against flak

gilded wraith
#

Fine... I'll break out the kuli guide....

tame lodge
#

Falchion compared to Relic Blade has longer uptime but also longer cool down period

heavy rover
tame lodge
#

You want heat management up there

calm shard
#

okay so the new bolters are straight worse than the other counterpart damage wise

#

but have enormous explosions that stagger

heavy rover
#

I can work with that tradeoff imo

narrow widget

๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

tame lodge

They saw that the new paid class was all about stagger then added ranged weapons all about stagger

That being said

I will rename my vet to Biggus Radius

they went from 3600 to 6500 i think

going to be a little more interested in kraks with the new crusher hp

mostly on my recon build though

it's a bit wack they buffed the krak so hard

although honestly it has a respectable TTK on crushers too

and i wonder how hard krak CAN hit now, with double throw and the +75%.

unique orchid
#

fair

thick rose
#

I havent seen a really devistating crusher train yet, maybe that will convince me to krak

compact oracle
#

crusher guaranteed onehits crushers but i think its just guaranteed to do that

#

as opposed to actually having 6500 damage

serene bough
#

Shorter fuse and 1 extra nade makes them significantly better to use

compact oracle

but i need to test once creature spawner works

I need to see how tinker kraks do against crushers

i love buffed crusher health, they were so weak before

its overkill against crushers

Still can one shot crushers

Im more curious about H40 crushers not auric

I forget how much dmg kraks do baseline

are Kraks still pretty much only single target?

Now that crushers are meaty idk if its worth using in h40 on crushers

hallow cove

if you run into a scab plasma patrol + bulkwark

thick rose
#

until they make shredder not knock everything I cant see how they wont be the best

meager echo

it could be run ender

dapper plank

i think they specifically intent krak to be the anti crusher weapon

meager echo

pretty sure

vapid nacelle
dapper plank
#

and monsters

#

are the arbiter grenades better then krak?

serene bough
dapper plank
#

even if you tinker em

gilded wraith
#

Reading Bruiser, I see no mention of stacking, so I'm assuming only one instance of the cdr talent up at a time for Tactical Awareness.

vapid nacelle
#

They could buff Crushers to 20k HP and people would still find a way to kill the crusher before your krak detonates for the penance ๐Ÿ˜”

serene bough
#

Removing bulwarks and reapers is far higher priority

hallow cove

never realized i can hit the bulwark with helbore above the shield

very funny

But idk about h40 crushers guess we'll have to wait and see

turbid ibex

#

train could be scary now, krak might be nice to have around... solo ones aint shit still

what's even better with auric cruisher hp is that it feels even better to use spearhead on em.

void dragon
#

Half mag on the crusher, does it kill now?

hallow cove
meager echo
#

They should lower the rate of fire of that enemy, too oppressive. They are tanky as well.

hallow cove
#

They should make it so scab plasmas can't fire from out of bounds ๐Ÿ™‚

Caparace heads and flak body iirc

hallow cove

have you tried moving forward as to add your movement speed to the lasbolt's velocity so it does more damage? chadgryn

void dragon
#

The enemy armor works as advertised, Players have no plot armour

#

We all must cry

gilded wraith
#

Really wish they copied the "or Ally" part from the Ogryn and Psyker CDR talents. New Tactical Awareness takes "Find the Specialist before the Dogs or the DoTs" minigame to a whole new level if you run Infiltrate.

Longshot is good.... that's gonna take a minute to digest.

calm shard

+10% and up to +25%

hallow cove
#

10 within and 25 outside?

#

10 within

calm shard
#

oh

#

reading comprehension moment

#

still I'd have to headshot a crusher from behind and that's easier said than done

#

with their gamer posture

spark helm
#

Never learned but do you need to be fully behind them or just hit a zone that's considered behind them?

hallow cove
#

lol just take infiltrate :^)

dapper plank
#

now that i can't oneshot crushers, i feel like precog is a good replacement for thrust

spark helm
rough cobalt
#

So, what's the general opinion on new power falchion, is it good?

spark helm
#

Usually, on my zealot I just sneak in backstabs on mobs and solo goons when they miss.

hallow cove
spark helm
# rough cobalt So, what's the general opinion on new power falchion, is it good?

Apparently it's not as good as a power sword but it's not a slouch of a weapon by any means so far with what I've been doing. Nice horde clear, similar combos to the mkx relic for the mk1 p.falchion so if you're familiar with that, use it the same way. I didn't exactly pay attention to monstrosity and boss damage but feels good enough. Not like you're going to be at a total loss using it.

fresh mango
#

how are the new autoguns? anyone made a fun build with em yet?

spark helm
# hallow cove immediate psykhanium testing seems to be any thing past their arms is "behind"

Makes sense. Considering that, it's not too difficult to slide those kinds of things in even in close quarters barring untenable scenarios where one might just need to focus on facing things directly. And of course, infiltrate can also just be used whenever it's available to make the shot happen.

Raking fire definitely about to get looked at again by me. I've used it before plenty of times but want to see what it can do now especially with recent changes. So many more opportunities to squeeze things in.

taxe is just my favorite, but i would recommend either power sword, the new falchion or some other safe pick, since youre not investing in melee talents really

Is that the same angle as vermintide? Never knew but I played the hell out of Shade

hallow cove

Then it's labeled wrong, cause I'm getting the extra damage at 180

tame lodge
#

Could be

#

Fatshark is like that

raw needle

isnt it backstab+flanking in the desc?

#

or am i mistaking it for a zealot talent that specifies that

whats the talent name again

Covert Operative, second tier talent in the cluster. Bottom right of it.

Oh flanking

#

180ยฐ

raw needle
hallow cove

ranged backstabs are flanking I guess

raw needle
#

whoever writes those descriptions is illiterate

Yeah basically

Backstab should still be 120ยฐ

Sweet

raw needle
#

fatshark moment

tame lodge
#

I saw that zealot was the only thing kuli hasn't updated

raw needle
#

their developers are segregated i think

hallow cove
#

I guess the question is was it intended as ranged flanking bonus or did they really mean the 120 backstab

raw needle
#

whoever writes desc for talents cannot communicate at all

#

with the people that code it

raw needle
#

but idk

#

hard to tell whats intended

hallow cove
#

I mean that's assuming the developer implemented it correctly

raw needle
#

we cant know for sure where the actual idea lies

tame lodge
#

Flanking and Backstab are the same same but different

raw needle
#

i think what you wanted to say is that flanking includes backstab in it

native ocean
#

that's such a stupid distinction

turbid ibex
#

So if its a backstab its also flanking but not necessarily the other way around

hallow cove
tame lodge
#

Unless flanking is exclusively ranged

#

And backstab is exclusively melee

loud kiln
#

I'm darking it, I'm gonna tide

hallow cove
#

"ranged backstab" lol

raw needle
hallow cove
#

So seems like there is no such thing as ranged backstab or melee flanking

raw needle
#

wait

#

flanking is ranged

slow spade
raw needle
#

and backstabbing is melee

#

so this shit is just poorly worded

heavy rover
#

The backstab is the 180 degree cone?

raw needle
#

they shouldve used the term flanking

loud kiln
#

Flanking is what the commisar did to your mom after the reworks /j

raw needle
#

but no one told the people making the desc

#

that they use the actual term lol

tame lodge
#

Backstab is 120ยฐ

hallow cove
#

Yeah ranged backstab doesn't exist and that probably wasn't well communicated to the front end boys

heavy rover
#

Ah

raw needle
#

flanking is also exclusively ranged

#

backstab is melee

raw needle
loud kiln
#

So I'm understanding the convo, are we discussing the degree at which the audio for ambush attacks play?

spark helm
#

No, distinctions between flanking and backstabbing. Clarity of player interaction.

hallow cove
raw needle
#

tldr fatshark cant write descriptions

#

nothing new

hallow cove
#

It's a front end typo for a talent that works in the backend

hallow cove
#

Bro I don't even know what a backstab sounds like lol

Basically
If it's not on your line of sight
Then it plays the sound

There's a sound cue for successful backstabbing in vt2 that has a similar mixing situation.

what are the best perks on helbore again?

hallow cove

I heard that there are no iframes for dodging in DT but mobs stop tracking your position during the dodge and that's how damage is avoided, is that right?

turbid ibex
#

For melee yes

hallow cove
#

You do get iframes when dodging for ranged enemies iirc

hallow cove
#

I know sliding has them for sure

#

for ranged*

#

Something I've noticed

#

Unless your a gunner

#

To which, fuck dreg gunners

hallow cove
#

While I'm asking questions, how are smoke grenades supposed to work? I notice that frequently I'll throw one and dreg gunners will just continue to fire thru it

slow spade
#

they lose tracking on you but they'll fire where they last spotted you

spark helm
#

Haven't used them in a minute so I forgot but it's usually nicer to throw them into enemies to force them to stagger and give you time.

cobalt bay
#

what is the dump stat for power falcion?

spark helm
#

Mobility is often the safest bet

hallow cove
#

morbility

serene sage
#

is there a single weapon where the dump stat isn't mobility?

hallow cove
#

weapons with collateral I guess?

spark helm
#

Usually that's down to preference in some weapon cases

#

I don't like doing it typically unless I'm going for something very specific.

hallow cove
#

I bet you can run a lasgun of some sort with ammo as dump as vet

loud kiln
spark helm
#

I...personally wouldn't do that but maybe.

Knife

#

Hrm. Can't seem to two tap crushers anymore with power sword

cobalt bay
#

how goods power falcion vs dueling sword?

turbid ibex
#

Also weapons that dont even have the mobility stat in the first place

spark helm
#

For recon lasgun, sometimes people can find use in dumping collateral to make using the gun in melee more liberal but 60% mobility is often never the end of the world. Having it at 80 for a gun like that and any melee weapon that accommodates that choice turns you into a pretty flexible mobile cretin.

Right

tame lodge
#

I forgot about it

#

Woops I guess

#

But still

#

10.9 or 11.7

midnight totem
#

Anyway, can't seem to two tap crushers with power sword anymore

#

Unless crit or focus target

tame lodge
#

Same thing for lights on the evis15

#

Except l4

#

Then it's 8 vs 9

cobalt bay
#

is the new bolter worth using btw

tame lodge
#

Yesnt

midnight totem
#

I heard its decent

tame lodge
#

It's not a direct damage bolter

#

But like

cobalt bay
#

a splash bolter?

tame lodge
#

Yeah

#

Bigger aoe

#

Less direct impact damage

#

But like

spark helm
#

Very nice in ws builds I've used.

tame lodge
#

Why bother

#

Just kill the target

pseudo fiber
#

mk3 falchion feels better than the mk1

#

Maybe I'm hitting more weakpoints?

cobalt bay
#

speaking of falcion best variant and best perks?

midnight totem
#

I like the base variant for hordes

#

Other one for elites

spark helm
#

Haven't used that mark yet but mk1 is relic mkx so pretty versatile and potent enough to not be lacking on debut.

midnight totem
#

Neither are lacking

tame lodge
#

But I'm not sure

midnight totem
#

I use the same blessings on it that I would use for relic blade

tame lodge
#

Didn't run it

#

And honestly not going to

midnight totem
#

Lol why not?

spark helm
#

Maybe they're on cool guy time, idk.

cobalt bay

#

Probably should figure out which mod is doing htat

Cranial grounding and heatsink haven't failed me but wrath and cranial grounding are very smooth.

tame lodge
midnight totem
#

Fair enough

cobalt bay
#

best perk attributes? Ive picked melee weakspot damage and elite 10% damage

midnight totem
#

I still prefer regular power sword

tame lodge
#

It's cool and what not
But it's not for me

#

Also psyker and zealot got buffed

midnight totem
#

And my knife

tame lodge
#

Not playing vet any time soon

midnight totem
#

Go on, get out of here traitor

tall torrent
#

new vet tree is ez

tame lodge
#

Because of Fatshark math

cobalt bay
tall torrent
#

keystones are good

#

all 3 are good

#

left keystone has weakest pathing

cobalt bay
#

good yes, if I chose a non stealth build I'd grab the weap specialist keystone in screenshot

midnight totem
#

Vet only received one big nerf

atomic void
#

vet rework path approved? holyshit

tame lodge
#

Path saying that MMF is good

#

Screenshot before he changes his mind

midnight totem
#

The ability cooldown

tall torrent
atomic void
#

dang

#

well better than nothing

tall torrent
#

But the pathing is still ass

tame lodge
#

One of the testers saw that path didn't like the previous 7 buffs to vet

#

Then the tester locked in

midnight totem
#

Mmf?

atomic void
#

vet is a top 5 class now so mission accomplished

loud kiln
tame lodge
#

Probably the same tester that path was talking to

tame lodge

All the buffs missed the mark

What's mmf again?

tame lodge
#

Marksman Focus

#

Left keystone

#

Ranged keystone

mortal aspen
#

what?

midnight totem
#

Ah

midnight totem
ornate glen
serene sage
#

also is the double barrel shotty any fun/good?

midnight totem
#

Its okay. We have grenades.

mortal aspen
ornate glen
#

If your target isn't armored.

tame lodge
#

The best mixed hordes clearer

#

Or something along those lines

#

I particularly haven't used DB in ages

serene sage
#

I see. So if I want to shoot armor with a shotty (don't ask why), I should stick with the slug one still

mortal aspen
#

uhh

#

I don't think any shottie is good into armor

serene sage
ornate glen
#

Which armor exactly? Maulers will suffer from body shots.

hollow ibex
gaunt hinge
mortal aspen
#

I'm assuming when people say armor they mean carapace

#

because everything else is paper

serene sage
#

I know the slug shotty at least can hit crusher and not bounce

gaunt hinge
#

slug shotty staggers crushers and opens bulwarks

mortal aspen
#

technically

#

DB also opens them up

#

with the new kraks, DB playstyle is peak

ornate glen
#

Rotten armor. whatthefuck_heresy
Damn, those things are unbreakable.

dapper plank
#

is it just me or is power falchion shit

serene sage
#

damn I didn't realize how much I miss DT lol

tame lodge

gaunt hinge
#

my falchion is only 300 power but im not particularly impressed with it so far

serene sage
ornate glen
#

Ah.

slow spade
tame lodge
#

I legit expect a hotfix buff for it

hallow cove
#

I think that even a small change for it could swing it into "best weapon"

bold grail
#

with the new melee and some of the other ones getting changed, whats considered the "best" one

dapper plank
#

power falchion doing 800 per powered heavy strikedown is .... questionable

ornate glen
#

Tried fashion on mixed middle and right branch. Pretty powerful in my hands.

midnight wyvern
#

@grand perch u the vigilant build dude man?

hallow cove
#

If it just had better flak/carapace multipliers it'd be universally loved I think

midnight wyvern
#

I dont remember who I stole it off but its nut

#

3 shotting crushers is nutty

tame lodge
#

With Psword being king

#

Then we have dueling sword, knife, tactical axes

ornate glen
#

Dueling sword is peak. Always wished to parry DH to death.

serene sage
#

tac axe got better?

slow spade
hallow cove
#

I know its really boring but knife on new melee vet is bonkos

serene sage
#

lol

fresh mango
#

im thinkin thisll work well, though probably swap maniac for carapace

slow spade
ornate glen
#

Better swap MK, I guess.

midnight totem
#

The falchion has one big issue

hollow ibex
serene sage
#

does flak hit breakpoints?

#

on bolter

Useful on maulers. They're tough now.

serene sage
midnight totem
#

The falchion can't be better then the power sword, since it uses the same new heat mechanic as the relic blade.

And it can't be better then the relic blade because zealots would bitch to high heaven (kidding, but its true)

slow spade
tame lodge
#

But the answer is yes

serene sage
tame lodge

Buffed at

Battle of Tertium

Pretty sure

So its in this.... sort of not quite there yet state, I think

I'm known for slandering Taxe

So I must say it's shit

vapid nacelle
#

I spent almost all my dockets getting a 69/71 plasma gun just to find out I don't actually like using the weapon. Not my best decision

tame lodge
#

But like they really aren't

#

Nowadays

#

But they are

tame lodge
#

And now vet just got better

serene sage
tame lodge
#

And our guide writer just stated that taxe 7 is top 3 melee vet

#

But as the Taxe is shit guy

ornate glen

Has anyone mentioned long-las today?

tame lodge

I must say that it still shit

slow spade

Just don't mind me saying that

anyone got a screenshot of the helbore's new rear iron sight

It's shit

ornate glen
verbal rivet
#

was thinking about jumping back in to see how veteran tree rework looked but i'm actually annoyed they changed helbore irons, i like express sights and they were perfectly adequate

slow spade
#

granted I haven't seen the new ones though

verbal rivet
#

most vets couldn't aim anyway so

#

not like having a rear post is gonna change anything

serene sage
tropic notch
ornate glen
#

True that it's now even worse for ling range shooting. Yet, more useful for close engagements. Still bad imo.

tropic notch
#

Wish the falchion got sunder

tame lodge
#

Not even devastating strike

tropic notch
#

Could have been big

#

They missed

verbal rivet
hallow cove
#

if you can't line up shots using the crosshair without irons its a skill issue

ornate glen

express sights leave the entire field of view above the barrel unobstructed

werent they misaligned anyway ?

front bead and rear notch are all you need

hollow ibex

#

was it just certain skins ?

hollow ibex

Yeah

primal zealot
hallow cove

dude is arguing about making a gun in a video game more accessible for an audience that generally doesn't even know what express sights are

primal zealot
#

did they fix those at least ?

hollow ibex
#

Vostroyan is fixed now allegedly

primal zealot
#

nice

hollow ibex
#

Thatโ€™s the only one Iโ€™m aware of that was misaligned

#

Idk if there were others

bitter turtle

how is the new bistol mark

hollow ibex
#

What do the new sights look like again

#

I saw them in a clip and they look a lot better

hallow cove
verbal rivet

it's literally line up bead with a rear notch

#

if you can't do that, idk what to say

hallow cove
#

okay dude you're a god gun nut

verbal rivet
#

the game even does it for you

rough cobalt
#

How is Weapon specialist compared to marksman focus rn? need it for my Recon/Falchion build

calm shard
#

gun vet feels so much nicer to play because I can actually get exhilarating takedown and melee talents now xd

#

skirmisher is also a FAT damage increase

hollow ibex
mortal aspen
#

wtf is an express sight

hollow ibex
#

Idk but who cares

calm shard
#

Feels weird not taking tac awareness and bring it down tho

rough cobalt
#

hmm so WS would be better since it synergies with falchion?

hollow ibex
#

I just need a visible front post that isnโ€™t 3 pixels

hollow ibex
#

though WS is still just used with big single shot guns mostly

#

Like revolver or dbarrel

rough cobalt
#

They're not lasers tho ๐Ÿ˜ข

verbal rivet
#

they're the simplest irons besides shotguns which have just a front bead

midnight totem
#

I need to rebuild my power sword to reliably 3 shot crushers now

ornate glen
verbal rivet
#

they're called "express" sights because they're specifically intended to be fast acquisition on target, mostly seen on big game rifles

#

you want the most field of view and the clearest sight picture

hallow cove
#

turns out some people find one of these easier to read

verbal rivet
#

awful

small mason
#

Have Vet builds really changed all that much? Gold toughness is still the king, even with plasma ripping through it, and shredder frags are still better than smoke and krak. The only thing I see changing is that Marksman's focus might be the best keystone now with Recon Las builds but that's it

mortal aspen
hallow cove
atomic void
#

for starters

#

tree is far less taxed

ornate glen
#

Either way the helbore's sights, combined with precision demanding fire rate remains a real headache.

slow spade
#

oh wtf yeah left iron sight is way better

bitter turtle

you dont get punished with no nade regen for not taking voc anymore at least

atomic void

better pathing

rancid egret
#

Commissar uses shout, the other 3 just mow everything down and shoot enemies that the commissar marked. I recommend y'all trying that out.

gritty mural
#

infiltrate has no business being 45 seconds

calm shard
#

but now you can get smokes, tinkerer for them, and grenade regen super easy

midnight totem
#

Vets gets elite superiority now pretty early

gritty mural
#

it'll only take fatshark another two years to figure out infiltrate does not need a long ass CD

midnight totem
#

Its great

calm shard
#

so you can have the better psyker bubble as your blitz, and it doesn't delete your build variety options

gritty mural
#

iron will costing nothing is a huge improvement to their tree

hallow cove

infiltrate doesn't feel too bad, but I'd be surprised to see it in havoc regularly

jolly quail

hello guys

bold sierra

holy crap MMF + Exec stance makes you so dang tanky, I finished a Havoc 33 just now and took 0 dmg

I'd be surprised to see stealth in havoc at all regardless of how good it is

small mason
#

also rip the devil's claw the dueling swords now just do everything better

hollow ibex

Just because of how easy it is to fuck up and get someone killed by aggro dumping on them

hi

thin stone

Take serrated because serrated power sword is funny

small mason
#

do we see vigilant autoguns being more useful? still seems like hyper nieche

midnight totem
#

Take serrated because it adds two extra stacks to chainsword bloodthirsty

bold sierra
# thin stone Even in havocs?

yes, I used to run vigi auto on zealot a bunch before the patch too, it's got pretty good breakpoints for elite killing especially with surgical

midnight totem

And maulers
