I use stance for the current event missions, makes the low visibility not an issue, especially talented to light up targets for everyone
They should have brought a flashlight themselves smh
I really dont like the new bolter sadly.
Tempted to try stance with the OG bolter, so far only using hellebore
Og is nice just need quick reload
new bolter hipfire is semi auto instead of burst and very accurate and not much recoil i like it
You get to reload in 2 seconds or something
I run that exact build, and it's super strong. No damage mitigation, but that's a skill issue thing lol
I prefer direct dmg and less ammo hurts meš
Anyone tried the new bolt pistol with Lethal Proximity yet
Also fun to see that Kraks are being far more used now
Been seeing very few shredders since update
It helps that they are great at dealing with the rotten armour modifier
Helbores now feel much nore usable than before
My Dumb-Ass with my own Plasma Gun:
But no easy crusher oneshot anymore
True.
That title belongs to the Plasma Gun.
Which feels like it's had the same buff applied to it as the Mk2b locke.
Mk IV slash bayonet should one tap crushers 
Itās got some DR
x0.85 from aura
x0.9 from grey node
x0.85 from talent
In the end around x0.65
Im using mk5
Plasma gunner round is the game deciding you've lost this Mortis run
Sounds like something someone who doesn't run smokes would say
Is smokes really all that different now
Okay maybe I am digging more with the falchion, just got the hang of it
I havent used it all that much since I started also, except for when I was trying to finish a Penance with it
They can be accessed without pulling teeth
Pro Tip for dealing with Plasma Gunners:
They've always been good
There just wasn't enough ranged pressure until havoc dropped to need them
Boring
Hmm, maybe I havent found that much use of it cuz I just got so used to Shredder grenades as a Veteran
Just run at them with a knife
I didn't try it in mortis lately fair point
The smoke shock grenade indulgence is fun I remember
And you're instantly dead because there's 9 of them and you have less than 175 toughness.
Heard about Storm Cloud
They can't see me
And i have UD
Whats UD
Until death
Literally just turn them into Soup with your own Plasma Gun.
They're only Tanky because of the Carapace Helmet.
Take that away and they're just Shotgunners with a single projectile.
No
Plasma is boring as hell
Point and click adventure weapon
I would rather use anything else
U donāt need a plasma to kill them lol
So you suck at aiming, got it.
Yes
But that's unrelated
I do not like plasma
I played it for a while when I was bad at this game and realized it's boring as hell
And i came back to it more than once to try again
Its just boring
You left click at the problem and it goes away
Give the Incendiary Shotgun a try
That thing is so inconsistent
Don't have to worry about skill if there's a 50/50 chance of it either doing nothing or felling god.
My aim isn't that terrible
Me when I just unload a whole boltgun clip into my 'problems'
I've mostly recovered my tknife snap aim
That works too, but Fatshark took away 10 of my bullets because I did it too much.
i still like it really, idk why
Bolter magdumpers when you tell them it only has 3 cleave
I guess its just how the weapon looks and feels for me kekw
The Shattering Impact In Question:
Don't need more than 3 cleave if the target is dead by the time you'll need more than 3 cleave.
How does Cleave work on guns anyhow
Uh
Same way it works on melee
Gork & Mork decide how much you have, for the funny.
Your shot goes until it runs out
Same with Rending, I'm like prolly a weeks in, in Darktide 
Rending is fun
Yeah that's the short version
Rending is Armour Penetration.
Let's keep it like that
And the Plasma Gun effectively has Infinite Rending.
Every weapon has a set of armor damage values that can be listed as a percentage
Rending adds directly to that percentage
Can your shots go through the thing u shot at?
Nope
No wtf lol
Anything that increases Strength is just a blanket increase to weapon characteristics.
Tell that to my Plasma Gun.
So if your weapon does 80% damage to an armor and you have 10% rending you deal 90% damage tonit
You are talking to John plasma
Infinite rending is not even a thing lol
Rending caps at 100%
Not everything, just impact damage and cleave
Would rending be better overall or it depends on the weapon
Depends on the weapon
And because Plasma is stupid, it never goes below 100%
Rending is weapon dependant
Would it work on my Boltgun 
If you have good adm's it's not worth much
No lol
Rending is not the same thing as an attackās innate ADM
I think you are misunderstanding how rending works
They barely understand anything
Itās whatever
And doesn't plasma have a sub 1.0 adm
Ignorance or ragebait
Or both
Darktide definitely is, because my Plasma Gun wasn't this strong before the update.
what does adm mean
Subjective information presented as fact
Ragebait or stupid, call it
Armor damage modifier
Subjective?
When an update breaks something, the update has broken it.
The update did not directly touch plasma at all
There's nothing subject to anything other than broken numbers.
There were no changes to plasmaās damage profile in the update
The only changes it got was vet
Something got buffed that shouldn't have.
Vet got better damage talents that can increase its damage further
Itās not a plasma exclusive thing
well actually plasma randomly got hit by a bug that reduces its ammo count
from 135 to 112 for whatever reason
I've noticed that.
Sometimes it skips back up to 135 until I reload.
Something about stats defaulting to 50
na I'm pretty sure Fatshark just hates us
I thought it was 0? Either way they know about it
The Code Spaghetti has been stirred and the meatballs are spicy.
0 stat is like 100 ammo for plasma
weirdly, guns without ammo stats get affected by it
as my bolter is occasionally 14 rounds
Huh, I've never noticed
I noticed pretty immediately
Played this morning it was still at an even 15 for me, with the Mk IIIb
It only seems to affect mag size though
The meatballs are
So not that bad
The other Variant had 12, I just thought that was normal
Yeah, I've seen that.
(Game crashes and everyone disconnects)
It was slightly cursed though
@tepid otter Pro Tip: Enable the Subtitles, it makes it harder for silent bursters to sneak up on you.
Or mod your game and get Danger Zone
Cringe
Mods are great
Huh, hokay
Just dont play havoc aric much more fun now.
100x ragdoll force
Mods like the ones that are in steam?
Maelstrom is as stupid as ever.
Mods are worth it for super impact alone
You have to get mods manually
There's a modding discord with guides and stuff
U using mods?
Might be wortj it to give it a shot
For performance
It's fun to load into Maelstrom and see that I have 9 grenades to dash at the enemy.
I think I'll keep it vanilla for now, but thats good to know
How do you have 9 grenades 
I'd recommend it eventually
Maelstrom Modifiers
I usually turn them off after a major patch
Stuff like better buff management and numeric ui are just too nice
Sometimes the game shits itself and applies the modifiers twice.
They usually cause incompatibility issues and crashes
Ignore that better buff management is broken
I just use the numeric ui and for the emperor and i think one performance mod and i dont have any issues with the new update.
I did crash once tho yesterday
It's indescribably funny to watch an Auric Storm Survivor get juggled by 40 Fucking Mutants because one of the Modifiers applied itself twice and their build is one of Reddit's slide METAs.
I don't think they're crashes that mods can fix
They're the "You just encountered something broken in the map and now everyone in the lobby crashes" type
How's this build?
Asking because I want to be a lore accurate Cadian guardsman
Huh, lemme know if it works well, I was actually looking for a build that works with an Infantry Lasgun as well just for the memes of being a Guardsman
This thing in the description tho 
Could be better imo
Can you recommend an alternative build utilizing any Infantry lasgun except the slow ass one?
At work right now but ilas doesn't profit a lot from WS but it's great with MMF
Also would be nice if lore accurate guardsman
Cadians in lore are shock troop sharpshooters so I went with marksman's focus
What about the melee?
Power sword? Or Knife? Or Chainsword?
I mean they use all of those but the standard soldiers would have his knife/bayonet so that would be the lore accurate option imo
Trying to perfect my "double barrel sicko mode" build:
If the Infantry Lasguns only had bayonets too
Very fun.
Doubly so for Mortis.
I just chucked 700 grenades.
as it should be
objectively, whats the least useful stat on the power falch?
mobility
500 cigaretes
There is no meme.
I threw 700 grenades.
cheers
@tall torrent ij knife with scoruge and enduring faith is stupid
with uncanny and riposte
untouchable
So the recon las?

Dedotated wam
Now Darktide can enjoy 32 GB
Noice, that's kinda the baseline for any game nowadays, 32 is probably what you actually want
I meant 32
I have 16 of the same stick already, one slot is empty
I had 16 and it was functional, got another 32gb so I'm sitting at 48 now lol
Much more gooderer
Hadron gooning is appreciated by the emperor
Ayo
Rework feels kinda trash tbh
š«
Aim Better.
I refuse.
Sounds like a you problem
I was promised terminator armor.
You are playing the wrong game.
Cadians in lore don't have a home anymore because their planet went poof
AI the LION would NEVER
So since the pinned guide has outdated info on the taxes what are the attack combos for them
lmb
sometimes hold Lmb
sometimes special heads
unironically though, special is goated, I dunno the combos

MkVII special can knock mutants out of charge with a headshot
And which mk should i use?
prob 7
it has a chain for Heavy into light chain for horde clear I just don't remember which heavy/lights they are
not hard to get to
Cant wait for bath to finish the guide
i'm doing pushattack heavy for hordes
What about perks
light spam for carapace and ogryns
heavy light works for hordes too
and special stops muties, really funny
Man, the health buffs for all the enemies has made the plasma gun feel really bad. The new brake points are making most things take an extra shot sometimes two. the fact without buffs it no longer one shots shotgunners on damnation+ really makes me sad. I guess with the leaked plans to nerd it said they wanted to make the charged shot more important and this does that but it makes it unable to remove threats fast enough with how long it takes to charge and how fast it overheats.
did anything get giga buff
Sorta kinda. Lots of little things amount to big buffs.
looking for new toys to play with
No, thereās not really a single item that got crazy buffed. They updated the chain weapons to where their revved up attacks feel a little better. Thereās also the new sword they works kinda like the zealot relic blade.
Power sword kinda got indirectly gigabuffed from the vet rework
which part did
Good way to grind cash? (im only up to damnation)
auric maelstroms
I'd say do the Event for easy moolah
bet
oh wait there's event rn?
Just gotta kill a bunch of plasma gunners
Event is easy moolah. And easy to complete
Hitchhike off someone's h40 matches
these plasma roles are so ass
oh lol i didnt even know there's events
i cant get a single dump on charge
False.
Kill the captains that spawn.
@tepid otter You don't need to kill Plasma Gunners, you need to kill the Captains specifically
Oh, huh
I was just playing casually and got through half of it already
I didnt read the thingies properly 
The bottom right part of the tree has a fuckton of damage bonuses for melee and just playing the game
My bad my bad
Yeah.. well.
smol brain best brain
Really bad for grinding dockets.
Auric maelstrom gives you 80-100 k a game
@red portal can I get a carry for 3 
What do yāall think of the new plasma enemy
š¤ i wonder how best to put it into words
theyre ass
Sounds like a skill issue.
zero sound cue
Wrong
zero indicator
fast as fuck fire rate for no reason
shit took all of my enjoyment out of havoc
yeah the sound of my toughness being broken
theyre fine if they tweak the fire rate and give them indicator for when they about to shoot
I think the Snipers can shoot from even further away now, or is that just me
I mean more so for the weekly reward
Its just you

i mean this is normal pre update
Still not worth the effort for the ordo dockets imo
but imo i think it should be default for auric mael from now on consider increased difficulty
Just do it once a week
also yeah havoc is for mat
This and the reduced visibility
you only need to do 4 and youre good for life
horrid
what's the best special/gunner gun now
if someone says plasma šæ
for high havoc btw
Still probably plasma, but bolt pistol and zarona revolver is still good.
I donāt like them
Helbore good too
The fact that the new plasma enemy has carapace armored helmets doesnāt help at all either
And vigis also got buffed this update
Hellbore is more a primary weapon that a sniping specials and gunners though
Shoot the body?
And the sheer amount of them is annoying
Unfortunate
do u run helbore with exe stance?
Still a 2 shot if you have decent carapace.
Actually blasphemy Iām gassing this up
Or use boltgun/bolt pistol/mk4 helbore
And they are more numerous than the maulers
But onslaught on Column MkIII Vigil makes short work of plasma gunners
I like the auto gun to fill the grunt fantasy
^
Blasphemy im even recommending it
Also they need a more obvious indicator they are going to shoot
But itās genuinely good with WS pathing and specifically on Column
But other than the new enemy the update is pretty good
I love the new sword
Fantastic against horses
is arby or vet better for range deleting
Vet. Arby is more CQC
Also the reworked talent tree is an overall improvement
I find myself doing the exact same smoke plasma born leader build like before
I was preaching this from the start;
Plasma gunner will be the death of this game; already since launch when it was ~12k players online now as i checked was ~5500

I need to explore the new tree
Send builds
Oof
I wasnāt expecting pre nerf gunners level of āengaging gameplayā
i'm curious about helbore now what they change
This is going to be a wild question
Get tagged by itās AOE explosion
that nobody can probably answer
The fact you canāt even peak them cause they just spam
Yeah thatās my issue
Smoke stocks are up cause of this
Bubble psykers too
But the ranged flanking bonus. Does it apply to the splash damage of the new bolter? Like If i fire it into the middle of a horde and the splash damage hit's their flank hit box does it apply that damage?
What a joke that they wanted us to embrace build diversity yet implement an enemy that can be effectively countered only with meta

That or
Force you into always committing to āsigh fine Iāll be the anti ranged spam build todayā
Honestly this was a net win for vets though
Literally Iāve only found luck with hiding and waiting for them to rush me down
in the aggregate
Plasma Gunners are the hardest counter to vet
We only get TDR
C19-alpha smoke 
I've been using the new bolter and helbore
One plasma shot lands and youāre instantly the squishiest in the game
and been deleting hordes of them
if you get caught out in the open though they delete you
My issue is less
If they direct it
Itās more they donāt even need to hit you
To apply that debuff
And holy shit
Plasma, Bolter, Helbore, Vigilus.
These delete the Plasma Gunner.
You throw smoke, they will walk to you.
I literally said this earlier
that new bolter honestly might be broken, need to play with it more
Not really.
It's just better at smacking elites around.
And horde clearing.
it cleaves elite deathballs though
like it's not just tiny damage like the og bolter
and it constantly procs the power on stagger blessing
to like max stacks
So does the Mk2, but it does it a lot better.
its still probably untenable to use in havoc because of ammo
pretty sure helbore might be significantly more viable with the changes to exe stance
The slightly weaker Ogryn bracing regen makes it genuinely good
As if it wasnāt before
But still
You know why havoc 1.0 was dogshit? Cause you had OP enemies that for majority of players you had to take a direct counter EVERY game; plasma gunners do the same
Remember the Talent that lets you regain 1% of your ammo per Elite Kill?
Constant regen of toughness is pretty crazy
it also ticks if you grab the perk to share toughness regen with teammates
so you give it to the whole team
and you can have it perma uptime
There is a reason they nerfed ranged units
Cause havoc was dying
Fast
Due to them
the worst ranged units in havoc are the basic non elite gunners
Havoc will unfortunately face a similar dilemma solely from plasma Gunner cause I hate to say it
can't change my mind
I heard about it, its a slog fest. Ive join havoc around arbi release so i have no idea how bad it was.
But atm, its tedious waiting for cooldown to fight plasma gunner, without bubble or smoke i dont think we stand a chance 
Plasma Gunners are just Volley Gunners 2: Burst-Damage edition.
I treat them as such.
Imagine base shooters being able to instantly down you at pretty large ranges
Gunners and Reapers it made sense but the relative spam of shooters was
Holy shit
Nothing like losing a mission because six plasma gunners took down the whole team in three seconds
Yellow stim shooters turning tertum into the beaches of normandy
This is why I only use smoke grenades
Smite

30 snipers.
They are the worse, i have trouble figure out where they are though horde.
I actually want to see this
Haven't played havoc recently
See I think itās fair game cause itās a 50% on top of a 1/4 cause of the stim types
Yellow stim turns a 6 shot volley into a 45 shot
They also take 300% weakspot damage
Lmao
Seeing itās a chance on top of another chance
any word if they cancelled the plasma gun rework?
I donāt see an issue with it too much
We lost one havoc level and another try because of server issues
Or is it just pushed back
Moo
Me, Bumner, Ainz, and Cyn did
Currently it's busted overpowered for reasons that I can't identify.
Twice
It's the worst
Cause of server issues
3/4 through a mission
But what I can identify is the fact that the plasma gun currently just ignores damage resistances.
Do you get 3013, ive fixed my with remember sever location mod.
Ainz was having terrible internet issues and we were basically Trioing a good chunk of it
Then boom
Plasma gun shoots through bulwark shield (at the cost of 300 damage)
Next one didn't even start, mission aborted before the loadout screen, and everyone lost a try
Yeah I've been seeing a lot of Desync issues with my buddies.
Peak server performance
Too many players logging on at once lol
Itās less that
I think itās the already struggling havoc server
Stacked with contam stims
Cause I love the animations they do but like I guarantee right now itās trying to load in shooters
And theyāre trying to hold back the urge to tweak out
I am not fond of the Outgunned event.
It's giving me flashbacks to the Inferno event.
Just fish for 21, rotten armour or stim. Avoid purple you will win consistent.
Purple in new patch is too much
@tranquil ledge The "sheer amount of them" is to be expected in the dedicated EVENT missions. In normal missions they are very rare.
Watch Scab Plasma Gunner Moment by Galeophobia and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: #warhammer40000darktide, #warhammer40, #000darktide
I love the Outgunned Event. It reminds me of the Rotten Armour Event. Beautiful.
I see maybe 2-3 of them show up in a Shotgunner Murderball
Actual fucking killbox
Fell asleep first at the sleepovee
Totally skill issue, should've just become invincible or something
He's not a Zealot or Arb
He can't do that.
I mean... you kind of aggro them before the door is open.

Skill issue.
I believe you can shoot through the elevator doors
^
You absolutely can shoot through the elevator doors.
And everyone who relies on melee gets shredded because they have to wait.
Chicken Wire is permeable to bullets.
During this run, i've got a DH spawn at the other end of the bridge, where plasma gunners are spawn. Can't even shoot at them 
But not psychic effects
Tbf there is 8 of them I donāt think there was much that could be done in such a small area
sometimes DH spawn at bs location, for instance right next to medicate or special spawn spot. It's annoying af.
Itās less the DH itās more the unfortunate circumstance the AI gains braincells and camps it
Had plenty of matches where Tox bombers decide to camp on a DH and I simply have to stall
i genuinely cant tell if this is sarcasm or not
the pain man
Blew his head shmoove off
Overall i think new event is good tho, more boss spawn, get more people familarize with havoc.
Tbh i like the new enemy
Gangstalked by plasma gunners
I like it also but it needs tweaks
I donāt like them in groups of 8
When 1 plasma gunner shows up its a jumpscare
Itās a good addition to the enemy roaster
When 8 show up its a "what the fuck was I even supposed to do"
Overall I like them
Only allow like 3 to spawn
Or be bubble psyker or smoke vet
Not 9
Your choice
I like new event
I don't like turning a corner into a crusher patrol/5 plasma guns hiding behind a boss / a DH and a million snipers
3 is a confirmed stun lock btw
Welcome back pre nerf gunners
I have a clip of rounding the corner into like 8 snipers
have started taking smoke because of them
š
Psykers just a dream node and we helps a ton lol
It's good that they try adding new stuff, it's just that the balancing is not there.
Ironically enough thatās the play also if you donāt have a chance to hide
Cause it forces them into melee
You ping them and nothing happens
Either get gunned down in the Bronx or manage to force them into melee
I've been hellboring them so far
Gunned down it is then
Been okay
I think release enemy at op state then nerf them to appropriate level is better than adding more push over and suddenly overbuffed it.
Lowk love the new falchion
Very space pirate
the only change i want is the distance at which he can fire, tired of getting shot from out of bounds
Too bad itās blessings suck and itās just a Rashad
I wanted to like the falchion but it feels anemic
@crimson wyvern This is my full honest truthful opinion
Itās fun tho
I LOVE bad weapons
I don't understand people who jerk off to using dogshit
Taxe unironically became vets 3rd melee choice
And I never will
hell i only use dogshit weapons this eft wipe
Cause of E Weakness and Skirmisher
are we not counting ds4 as top 3 now
And I think adding new untested enemy right to havoc is a bad move man. It might potentially piss off lots of players.
š
Unf I love it when the weapons is bad hnnngh
And i hate it
I love the new enemy
Well
Taxe is a low investment weapon
yeah but so is power sword 
So that's that I guess
- statements dreamed up by the derranged
Rashad for taxe right
Yes I love using bad weapons because it means you donāt have someone yapping about the meta blessings for it
Why do you think I use PF even though Path insists I use PS
But at the same time
Cause itās bumpy weird using it
Plus the weapon just came out. I got a feeling it will work
cause FUN FACTOR babyyyyy
The top 3 conundrum
Whar
Itās why I used Vigils in their ādark ageā
Or dclaw on steroids would be more accurate
They felt good to me
I think PF feels better to horde clear with than PS, and that's what I care most about lol

Thatās a lie
Cause Path is attracted to that weapon soo much if it would be possible he would marry it?
Idk man Iām too tired to make coherent sentences

That is a lie
kraks are pretty wild right now
I know the reworked vet but did they touch zealot at all?
Its safer = better
sunder on relic blade when
I will kneel in defeat to PS > PF in terms of Horde clear
Can i have the Power Falchion as a Zealot, please? š„ŗ
I don't like powersword :^/
Even though I know its good
But PF has better safety options
"It feels"
Feel based darktide gaming
Hush, Zealot

You already have better PF
Its called relic blade
we have its superior brother
Please. š„ŗ
the relic blade
Zealot Vet Psyker
Chaxe value went up cause cap was removed iirc
Yeah falchion feels great to slash through hordes plus even its unpowered state is pretty good
Am I going to use it?
your the first person I know that liked rotten armour event
Probably not
NO.
Idk
All gaming is feel based gaming if you're not a sweaty weirdo
I liked it
I run it with the weapon swap keystone to have something for big guys while falchion handles hordes
That's Rashad
I donāt like this event too much
I thought it was fun š

It wasn't even that bad
I did like it too; i just stayed silent
Which PF mark has better horde clear loops
I fuckin loved it
Iām mixed on it mainly cause of the current state of plasma gunners
ive had fun on every event too
I just need it for horde clear
One of my fav events
Just beat the shit out of them in melee
Poliamory it is then
the changes they did to all chain weapons are really cool

The only one I didn't like was the explosives one
š
i dont fully understand the changes but i dont care
I don't love visibility reduction modifiers, I like seeing the level, makes me feel like warhammer
That one kinda sucked
What did they do?
they just feel better now
Rev was changed
changed the way the special functions
Are they good now?
Actually hurts Unarmored enemies
and then damage and a bunch of other thigns as well
Removed the cap on Orestes 12 lights
they added lengthy patch notes but the tldr is the special action is just waaaay smoother
As it should have
the rev always one shots mutants
Chaxe and Chord being the bane of reapers and bulwarks of all things
Letās go. One of the main reasons I stop runnem is cause of how annoying g the rev was to keep spamming
I know Chaxe had itās cap removed
Canāt wait to try out zealot heavy chain sword again
So Slaughterer Headtaker mightāve shot up even more in value
it also feels like you can cancel out of a rev now but I may just be high
oh you will be spamming it, it just feels way better now
much more natural
kills fleshy mfs fast
anyone tried chainsword since changes? Still bad?
I don't think it's removed on the Mk4 heavies, didn't test it
When it takes 2 bursts to drop a mutant instead of uh
I never got the low damage again ha unarmored. Itās a chainsaw that shit gonna hurt
But it should be removed on the 12, the patch notes said
only meh against carapace otherwise its a lownmower
Vigils my beloved
It feels better
which mark of Power Falchion has better horde clear
1 is easier
Use it; its actualy good now
Second mark
The one that you light light heavy light heavy light -> forever iirc
First one has better single target chain attacks
More of a MkIIb enjoyer tbh
Lawbringer; you just spam push attack into light & repeat
Underhand overhead strike downs go hard as fuck against single targets
I like the stab but I love the big slashās better
I also enjoy 2b
Real asf
Yes theoretically
2b?
I love the uppercut heavy so much
MkI is better cause itās Hordeclear can literally be
L1 (L2+H3)
Or just light spam
But like
Which one is the second one, I donāt know the actual mk names
You can just h1 h2 l1 for your single target
Try lawbringer
Its literally identical to the relic blade w/ the stab
Also ogryn power maul is finally not absolute dogshit
That is the lawbringer
You just do the same shit
Itās only kinda dogshit now
Lawbringerbis even simpler
MkIIb Lawbringer I prefer
Use push att into light & repeat
Also what yall think of the new bolter mks
Youāll see
Same bs as with the relics I fear š
Iām loving the new bolter rifle mk
People fear using lights
That or L1 H2 iirc?
Overhead strike down
Followed with underhand strike down
Thats for singles
Oh weāre talking hordeclear
Second mk relic blade for zealot itās absolutely crazy single target damage
Yeah thatās like

Literally why I run it
Lawbringer propaganda
Itās PA actually staggers rager
Why I use it LMAO
PA?
Unpowered also
Push attack
It does?
Yes!
power axe 
Why I immediately dropped MkI
Cause when I discovered that could stagger ragers
I was like
Yeah no Ive decided
Lmao
Wait which one. Relic or runic
I'm not in a party?
Oh also; does not need att spd buffs to be good unlike rashad
Rashad?
Combat axe
Thank you
Rashad needs Trench Fighter Drill for safety
Iām still relatively new to vet. All other classes are level 30 and my vet is only 24
@faint beacon
PF lawbringer does not
Try it without
It really does not need it
Santa ogryn
Did they touch rock at all?
Iāll have to see how different it is when Iām home
Besides PF was performing well in H31
Also they reset all my ogryn presets. Iām so mad cause I had like 15 saved
Lawbringer naturally
Do you take any of the toughness nodes at the middle going to ft or ws path?
Yeah?
id be careful with basing what you like off of this right now game is very bumpy at the moment
It helps a bunch
Guh
Whats the consensus on the new bolter so far it feels underwhelming
Again also, does the new bolter have more stagger or am I just going crazy. Like the new bolter pistol staggers bulwarks when u shoot their shield
I wouldnāt be surprised after they do the stagger fixes if it still does
Mainly cause swipe PAs tend to stagger ragers
power attack prob will but i see a bunch of people ranting about the staggering weapons are doing on their light attacks
and im like
you know this isnt intentional right????
Okay admittedly
Chord being able to HARD STAGGER A DREG RAGER COMBO WITH LIGHTS
is absolutely not intended
Lmao
I almost forgot about the dueling sword rework
The name finally fits
Now we need a devilclaw rework of the devilclaw
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d51275b-f9c4-4494-9b88-bfafbbbf4981/terrible-vet-build how can i minmax it futher
whaths the best weapon vets have against bubble shield bosses? Dueling sword heavies/chaingun?
power sword
used to be dueling sword but Psword is pretty good
eh?!
Kinda. If you are good with the new parry you can be untouchable
which Mark?
the power swords, chainaxe, dueling sword, devilsclaw
mk6
I love that the new dueling sword is actually good at dueling
uh
evil bumpy build
energized attacks or just single target combo?
They gotta change my baby devilclaw. Give it like dagger speed and I honesty thing that would be enough to make it good again
it stinks of cole
chainaxe revved heavy can destroy the shield fast, chainaxe mk4 lights can eat the shield
shockmaul special attack is godly too
Iāve been saying this for a while. Itās not insane but itās not something to ignore either
This reeks of a Vet min max
Aka you donāt really need to do much tbh
it also applies hits of skullshatterer
You got everything you needed
so
what about PSword, do energized attacks deal more to the shield, or I should go just single target spam?
so its amazing 
Though you could
Oh shit really
power sword energized attacks do more damage
Pick up O4B for toughness on bleed kills
i definitely know it does on the arbites
Seeing you have Flechette + Shredders
i did
Yeah then youāre good
Arbite just solos most things
I live it but I also hate it
arbites can apply a "fake" stagger affect which still can apply stagger buffs to bosses or enemies that cant be staggered
They need to nerf him. Make each path much more specialized instead of a one man army
Itās insane when paired with monstrosity hunter.
wait, how do I single target on Mk6 PS?
Just energize heavy attacks? (and yeah thats a shit sword, need a new one)
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d51275b-f9c4-4494-9b88-bfafbbbf4981/terrible-vet-build do this build
push attack, light
third hit is whatever
stab, strikedown
you can still two hit crushers? iirc
4 shots
Did they remove zealots ignore death trait?
thank you
no
No
It aināt in the same spot anymore
No oneās not gonna get it lmao
Tax talent?
they realized that everyone took it
You path through it into the branches that lead into the auras
Yeah cuz it was funny
so now its easy to get and the first part is mandatory
Fuck me man
It's right under the blitz choices
Can they stop touching zealot heās good (for the most part)
So itāll be in every build
Its a free class trait now basically
Just make martyr better
Itās a buff
marty is better, has been good
they literally did
they did
Mfw 1 build
š„
At least now there's a choice in what you're doing
Taxe with BP
Or at least the illusion of it
Feel like Henry of skalits when he refused to learn how to read
Yes zealot always been good
But the old tree
tbh crit is falling behind
Thatās fair
have you fucking seen relic blade ij
They just made my go to build a bit worse. The crit keystone with runic blade
relic blade benefits from crits?
no?
ij is better for it now
Yes and no
Then my last build was so insanely unoptimized that it was somehow good
It's a CRIT adjacent weapon
Scourge + Blinded by Blood is silly
I had the crit builds ability from the backstab path paired with the crit keystone but I canāt find it on the new tree.
IJ is 20% again
Didnt play a match yet but In Psyk I already felt itās raw power
But as a martyrdom main
Itās stupid
Thatās the movement one right
relic blade used to run psuedo crit build bc crit had the most DR talents and relic blade already killed everything
On the right yeah
I liked it cause relic blade crit was insane against armor
Well thankfully theres DR talents that are based on killing now instead of
what ability cooldown should i take for relic blade now
My all time fav was crit keystone thunder hammer
Me millionth Crit
you have crit weapons like tac axe abd knife then crit adjacent weapons like heavy sword, crusher, relic blade @surreal rune
fury
Shroud is a second option
Mainly cause post buff shroud you literally nuke everything
U can keep like 80% charge if you target elites
If youāre running the crit one there should be a perk that reduces cooldown on each crit
And there should be one that makes melee weak spot hits count as cries for building stacks unless they got rid of it
relic is flak unyielding, cranial wrath
I always ran cranial grounding, is it just not worth it?
So just donāt do any of the heat reduction perks?
Cranial is the best reduction blessing
cranial dose that
Makes heat uptime longer the more heads you hit
Nvm I thought crancial wrath was single perk, didnāt realize u mean wrath AND cranial grounding
But itās just dependent if your melee is already good at cleaving
If itās not havoc
Do Cranial Rampage
ah
cranial wrath has always been my personal pick
but m
those tougher trash mobs ive begun to see in
aurics
Cranial wrath sounds like the worst migraines ever
Tougher trash mobs?
its nice to have the non empowered form buffed
moebian 21st, mutated pox walkers
Yeah..well..
New plasma gun guys donāt count as elites so theyāre thrown in with hordes. At least I think so cause they donāt show up on the elite kill feed
why Brutal Momentum on PSword? Remind me please, did it work on entire amount of targets hit in this game?
I.e. you do 1 weakspot kill and have infinite cleave for the rest of the attack duration?
brutal momentum makes the power sword have
inf cleave on weakspots?
which is good for the light attacks
for horde clear
you can do bm or sunder
its cleave
āInfinite cleaveā it stops after 3 targets
Your actual cleave kicks in on the 4th+
ah
It feels infinite cause of PS having 12 with powered state
Which is 1.5 per chaffe in auric
3 in Havoc
ah
yeah, using Sunder atm. for better single target
Are we still stuck with the weird ammo nerfs? Do ObeseFish know that's an issue?
Wait...they are NOT elites?!!
