hybrid plover
#

The thing that sucks is it being dependent on your allies killing stuff

#

Meaning, if you end up being the last one alive, it's a completely dead node.

bitter turtle
#

i would honestly rather take

#

leave no one behind

#

if i had a random spare point

#

but i like that talent lowkey

hybrid plover
#

If anything, one thing they could do to make it better is make the bonus just available at all times if you're the last one alive.

#

Alright, another question. If you had the option to either take superiority complex or skirmisher, which one?

bitter turtle
#

skirmisher

primal zealot
#

new pee sword kinda good thumbsup_ogryn

unborn perch
#

Should I live without crutching fully loaded or be comfortable?

#

lol

bitter turtle
#

i dont run fully loaded but you could probably squeeze it in

#

if you reallyl ike it

#

you're already pathing to precision strikes so its just finding a spare point

unborn perch
#

Fully loaded is like one motion imo, it’s just a comfy talent. If I decide to drop it, I could pick up agile engagement.

bitter turtle
#

well uh

#

between those two

#

definitely agile

tall torrent
#

fully loaded not needed on 99% builds and is a forced tax

jaunty tinsel
#

so as i understand now, krak is the better pick when you've got hordeclear like recon now, right?

bitter turtle
#

i wouldnt call recon hordeclear

#

but

#

i like krak a lot now in general, +1 reserve and faster arm time along with the crusher buff did a lot to make it actually feel worthwhile

#

i think it can go in any build reasonably

#

if you dont have anti armor especially so

jaunty tinsel
#

pre-update i was rocking recon, psword, and frag

bitter turtle
#

frags are still good though

jaunty tinsel
#

but now i really like the sharpshooter capstone

hollow ibex
bitter turtle
#

i havent played for a while

#

but is recon finesse still dog

jaunty tinsel
hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

Recon has pretty bad finesse modifiers

#

Use the Vraks

#

Trust me

#

MF turns that thing into a monster

austere mica
#

Damn new cutlass is fun

#

And actually balanced feeling

jaunty tinsel
hollow ibex
austere mica
#

You do math

hollow ibex
#

but might lie

#

and yes, math

austere mica
#

or you see if it has a finesse stat

tame lodge

austere mica

#

It's unbalanced to the weak side

tame lodge
#

Doesn't even reach Rashad tier when powered

austere mica
#

Rashad is pointedly not balanced

orchid hemlock
#

PS cutting everything like butter 😈

unborn perch
#

Falchion would be alright if I was committed to those attack patterns. But I’d rather use a power sword.

tame lodge
#

Yeah which creates a problem

jaunty tinsel
#

me feeling like an old person not able to find finesse

tame lodge
#

That

#

It took 10 months

tall torrent
tame lodge
#

For Fatshark to release a worse melee

hollow ibex
#

if falchion had at least chord levels of horde clear

hollow ibex
austere mica
unborn perch
tame lodge
#

It's also funny when you notice that all new melee mogged 90% of their class specific weapon

#

Then you have falchion

tame lodge
#

💀

tall torrent
#

falchion was never gonna be as good as power sword
I just didn't expect it to be below mid

tame lodge
#

So I wholeheartedly believe that falchion will be buffed

tall torrent
#

at least it's not shovel's gaslighting tier

jaunty tinsel
#

wait, so finesse ONLY governs increased weakspot damage?

austere mica
#

Forgot inspecting a weapon crashes my game

tall torrent
austere mica
#

I'm also annoyed that skirmisher requires you complete a slide

tall torrent
#

doesn't

tame lodge
#

Damn

#

Is it that good nowadays?

tall torrent
#

it's good

#

because whenever it's not up (prolonged melee)
u prob have both EW and AE active

austere mica
#

You can also force it up with dash slides

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

if it was any better (ex: gain stack on stamina spent) it'd be so good it'll almost make vet as good as psyker

#

and obv we can't have that

hollow ibex
#

Best vet can get are sloppy seconds

# austere mica Out For Blood

I opted to swap it (out for blood) for the bottom left node in focus target. Since I don’t really need the regen from trash mobs.

tall torrent
#

FT is prob vet's weakest keystone on its own rn

unborn perch
austere mica
#

Its like 20% inconsistent damage with a cool subnode

hearty panther
#

8/12% global and 10% from the actual node most of the time

tall torrent
#

it's ok

hollow ibex
#

yea would def rate FT the weakest rn

#

not that it's bad

austere mica
#

I don't like having to ping every enemy I attack to get value

#

And weapon spec just enables fun so I run it on everything

#

Well
"everything"

mortal aspen
#

15% melee attack speed is very fun indeed

austere mica
#

Wait they buffed its attack speed

unborn perch
#

I like weapon specialist, but like, it’s all selfish, I’d rather bring ft for the support.

orchid hemlock
#

Don't play for other people

#

You killing shit faster helps the whole team

austere mica
#

If I do more damage I am helping the team by killing things

unborn perch
austere mica
#

Oh yeah does bistol still run maniac unarmored puncture lethal prox

stark pollen
#

Personally I just think WS encourages a better playstyle than MMF or FT. Too many veteran's try to never use their melee weapons.

austere mica
#

That's just them not knowing how this game is played

#

Even without weapon spec vet melee is pretty good

serene bough
#

I like FT for havoc

orchid hemlock
#

Vet was always a Hybrid class
It's just that conventional RPGs have brain rotted people to it thinking it is a "range" class

tall torrent
austere mica
#

My only other built pocket sniper is an agrivolver

#

What would you recommend

tall torrent
#

I don’t care much about bad guns

tranquil ledge
#

I’m glad they reworked the shooter stance keystone (or whatever it’s called)

austere mica
tranquil ledge
#

Now it’s actually good

tall torrent
austere mica
#

I'll live

tall torrent
#

Best hybrid build’s sniping gun is still plasma

#

And revolver IIa

austere mica
#

I can do zarona

#

Just need to pull one

tall torrent
#

I haven’t checked revolver breakpoints post patch

#

And tbh it’s just math cuz damage values didn’t change

stark pollen
#

I think one of the issues, is how many guns don't lean into the hybrid swapping playstyle. Vigilant Autogun, Infantry Autogun, Infantry Lasgun. Those weapons all struggle cause you usually need more than 1 shot to kill something after swapping. Rev, BPistol, BGun, and the PGun you can just swap to and pop off one shot to kill a lot of priority targets.

tall torrent
#

It largely depends on how many damage buffs u personally consider to be “baseline”

#

Because none of the big damage bonuses are permanent

#

Skirmisher
EW
Agile engagement

#

If u consider all three to be baseline then the perks are gonna be like unyielding + crit chance lmao

Point blank + run&gun/surgical

Handcannon only matters for crushers

I am going to try havoc exe with this and a tactical axe

I don't think I have the damage for bromentum so it'll be headtaker/decimator time

tall torrent
calm shard

I mostly want it so I can krak a chaos spawn and nuke him in the face while he's staggered

#

I hate that enemy

#

But I will consider it and adjust if it ends up being unneeded for infantry autogun

stark pollen
calm shard

also real quick grenades aren't ranged damage right?

austere mica

So they don't get their damage fucked by rotten armor?

do not be surprised

At least on par with frags

one of em doesnt pull ur gun out tho

If not better

if you are rotating

25-35

Havoc ranks

because Plasma gunners alone

yeah with new crushers

I can 100% see kraks being top tier

I literally downloaded this

solely so I can react to them

because they are very hard to predict

or the revolver?

tall torrent

can't tell where ur getting shot from

faint beacon

after they've blown your toughness away

tall torrent
#

if 2 are firing from 2 diff directions I can't tell where they're shooting from

austere mica
stark pollen
#

They should have a proper wind up for their shot that doesn't blend into everything.

faint beacon
#

I think they could use more "lights" on their armor

#

as a clear indicator of

#

hey im a plasma gunner

#

not a random enemy unit

tepid otter
#

Have their guns glow maybe just so you know where they are in maps that have black outs or bad visibility

tall torrent
#

might as well at that point

faint beacon

but its not super massive

it only lights their chest and face up

Pretty much

by then you're gonna get nailed

if they face u directly

Do plasmas have 1900 hp or is psyk having a moment

they need to be treated like specialists

Maybe mk3 is

Yes

heretics got buffed big time

austere mica

Guess we running handcannon point blank unyielding crit

hollow ibex

now they have a unit type that's specialist-levels threat, without specialist cues

and having elite level hp

and armor

austere mica
#

And spawn rates

hollow ibex
#

yup

tall torrent
#

@faint beacon @calm shard I cracked the code
rashad + exe boltgun
both weapons can 3 tap crusher

#

without crit

calm shard
#

feels like it takes fuckin' 10 to kill a rotten crusher with rashad tho

tall torrent
#

without MF as well

tall torrent
#

it's only ranged

faint beacon
#

Yeah Rotten encourages you engage in melee

#

unless you're blazing trauma

#

then you just M2 everything

faint beacon
#

does Caxe hit Groaner/Walker BPs for H35+

#

aka can it actually horde clear

void dragon
#

i thought that you can only kill crusher with 5 bolter shots

tall torrent
#

take 10% rending

#

@faint beacon

#

ykw if power sword has to take WS to be not ass at dodge
I don't mind not getting WS for rashad

tepid otter
#

Thats Taxe?

hollow ibex
#

rashad combat axe

hybrid plover
#

It's crazy how much only 10% rending can do

faint beacon
#

its probably something to do with the insane damage you get from right side and just

tepid otter
#

sheesh

faint beacon
#

10% rending against carapace

#

letting you just nuke

tall torrent
#

trying to find a way to squeeze 1 node for reload speed rn

#

hmm maybe untinker my krak?

#

if I have 2 weapons that can 3 tap crusher do I really need tinker krak

faint beacon
#

you still get insane value without it in Rotten Armor anyways

tall torrent
#

I'm not running this for havoc

faint beacon
#

it'll put Crushers just shy of an insta, and everything else dies

void dragon
tall torrent
#

nvm I can actually 1 tap crusher without tinkerer

#

SC + BiD + 4xFT

#

good enough

#

not running this for havoc anyway

Still fucking hilarious how rashad keeps coming back to Vet like an abusive ex in regards to the best melee choice

did they kill lethal proximity working with vet grenades?

oh ok

hell yeah

@faint beacon OM+TR / LS+VA for boltgun
what would u take

how are you guys feeling about the new bolt pistol

hybrid plover
#

Eh

ancient path
#

oh damn

tall torrent
#

the first boltpistol is already meh and hard carried by blessing

hybrid plover
#

New bolter's neat though.

ancient path
#

what does it even do

#

more stagger?

calm shard
ancient path
#

ooh

hybrid plover
#

Less penetration and first target damage

calm shard
#

same for new boltgun too

hybrid plover
#

More collateral basically

calm shard
#

it does stagger bulwarks in a single shot, but that might be due to stagger being bugged at the moment

#

so

spark helm
#

New Bolt pistol fun in melee cretin builds that I use that are just really trying to only focus on that. Nice little added snappy cc tool. Passable kills on specialists and weaker elites but definitely lacking in dps in favor of the cc.

hybrid plover
#

It works particularly well with new bolter because of pinning fire

#

But bistol doesn't really have anything like that to synergize with

void dragon
hollow ibex
#

new bolter is also not very good

#

you give up way too much for that CC

void dragon
#

new bolter should have same ammo pool

#

at leasty

hybrid plover
calm shard
hybrid plover
#

Like it is not bad at all.

calm shard
#

you don't actually lose too many breakpoints because fucking exe damage

#

but you get the huge AoE that does just enough damage to kill trash, and guarantee pinning fire stacks

hybrid plover
#

Bistol though?

#

Ya not worth

spark helm
# void dragon it feels neat for zealot trying to run enemies and ccing them, but on vet doesnt...

It does work on vet be cc cause that's where I'm using it with ws setups. I understand why the lack of dmg is important because in aurics bare minimum was becoming a pain in the ass without better melee and lucky grenade twin blasts. Shout and blah blah blah.

Can see the better use through zealot since well yeah. The build concept I'm working with and fucking around with on Veteran works better for zealot.

hybrid plover
#

They just need to buff the bistol family as a whole at this point

Are there better blessings for the bolter now

#

I still have Shattering Impact and Puncture on it

What about on arbite?

#

Since is synergy stagger

spark helm
#

Is the new bolter the same kind of mark situation? More cc less damage?

hybrid plover
frank basin
#

Shatter puncture

hybrid plover
#

I still don't know why that's a popular choice

frank basin
#

Or punpact

tepid otter
#

It was also suggested to me but that was awhile back tho

calm shard
#

though it does have much more accurate hipfire

tepid otter
#

Would Pinning Fire be better

calm shard
#

and less recoil

#

I think anyways

spark helm
#

Same draw speed?

calm shard
#

may just be a symptom of the slower fire rate

Pinning Fire and Puncture? Or something else

tall torrent
tepid otter

at least imo

#

the only like
justifiable use case of serrated outside mercy killer is to stack bleed faster on things u already fragged

and that use case's best weapon is sunder power sword which already wipes like, everything

What's with serrated and wrath propaganda

#

😭

tall torrent

I saw someone saw uncanny + serrated for shovel is good cuz it does 300 per tick on carapace and I'm here like

anything that has its max dmg hit doing <2000 on crusher (except knife/DS) is not getting a pass lmao

faint beacon
#

I literally only run it cause im not picking Field improv when a good 50% of vets do

#

and you only need 1 to have the benefits of field improv

tall torrent

it's not that big of a deal tbh

frank basin

Field improv could hurt martyr zealot KEKW_ogryn

Rotten Armor is a no

tame lodge
#

Crushers have 6500 hp on Auric

So h40 crusher has 9750

A green stimm adds 100% of that

I understand what you are saying

fair enough

what blessings are good for the accatan combat shotgun?

tall torrent

just that hp doesn't say that much in the grand scheme of things when it comes to how durable an enemy is

and theres the points gone again

Hp only matters in the measurement of how hard the thing trying to kill it hits

you can have 4 hp and be quite durable vs the 1 hp damage enemy

tall torrent

I just don't think much surface level nowadays

unborn perch
#

Does close damage only include melee and ranged damage or can it work on grenade damage done in close range also?

tall torrent
#

scales based on range

unborn perch
tall torrent
#

max within 12.5m, linear scale towards 0% at 30m

#

with that said some Ndmg instances are only active with specific conditions

#

like dum dum & anoint in blood only work with ranged weapon in hand

#

so they will not benefit melee

unborn perch
#

What about bleed from puncture? Same deal?

#

As dum dum

tall torrent
#

Ndmg affects all dmg instances currently active

unborn perch
#

Yeah I get that but I mean ranged weapon in hand part

tall torrent
#

as long as the thing applying +Ndmg has no condition that prevents it from working on some dmg types

#

it applies to everything

tall torrent
#

it applies bleed to ranged atk instances (which include force greatsword's warp slash, brain rupture, kinetic flayer and assail)

unborn perch

Crit maxxing devil claw

unborn perch
#

For real though. You couldn’t pay me to use a devils claw

analog yacht
#

with ds getting the parry there's actually just no reason to use dclaw lol

#

like idk I guess it gets better stamina values or something?

#

wish fs would realize that killing chaff isn't a real role for your melee weapon

tall torrent
#

@austere mica ok I did some maths and I think unyielding + flak for revolver IIa, assuming crit blessing + handcannon

analog yacht
#

like 80% of the vermintide weapons languish in hell bc they're horde clear and do 0 armor damage

tall torrent
# austere mica what needs flak

flak sends it over 2550 vs flak which is enough to 1 tap scab gunner in havoc max
and can also 1 tap damn/auric scab rager

analog yacht
#

woah revolver havoc gaming

tall torrent
#

this is mainly a damn/auric gun so I don't think abt havoc breakpoint on it too much

analog yacht
#

we finally have the technology

hybrid plover
#

i

tall torrent
#

it's still nice for scab rager tho

hybrid plover
#

sense that having two stealth characters on one team is uh

tall torrent
#

dreg gunner 1400 is not that high to reach rn with SC + LS

hybrid plover
#

still not ideal

austere mica
#

Unless it can oneshot mauler/plasma otherwise

tall torrent
#

lol

austere mica
#

epic

tall torrent
#

with handcannon u do like 2400 on mauler head

#

which massively overkills plasma gunner

Dclaw block efficiency is 70%
DS block efficiency is 50%

For overhead reasons

Or any strong attack

#

whats the combat shotgun setup

analog yacht
#

does ds also get that

tame lodge
#

Probably, needs testing

#

Although dclaws parry adm seems higher

#

2k Unyielding from dclaw

#

1400 Unyielding from DS

analog yacht
#

man I wanted the new weapon to break veteran out of power sword jail and instead it's power sword but weaker

calm shard
#

it's not even just power sword but weaker

#

it's one of the weakest melees vet has

#

like it's not even mid tier

#

shit sucks

analog yacht
#

fucked up how relic blade is like top tier + the moveset is sex and then we get power sword 1.5

tame lodge
#

Power Sword but really really weaker

#

Half the dps of power sword

calm shard
#

it's more like

calm shard
#

if dclaw was given relic blade heat gauge

inland canopy
#

power sword like swinging banana

calm shard
#

instead of parry

zenith carbon
analog yacht
#

crazy that they took one of the most popular vermintide weapons and made it a low tier power sword clone

thick rose
#

whats the deal with this sorry unexpected error popup?

analog yacht
#

man the relic blade's moveset is just so smooth and ps is so clunky and I was hoping for that glowup when they revealed power falchion

tall torrent
#

@austere mica ok so
flak + unyielding/elite

with flak+elite u can crit 1 bodyshot mauler with buffs up (otherwise 3582)
with unyielding u can crit 1 headshot bulwark with buffs up (5057 vs 4800)

#

probably flak + unyielding?

#

less buffs needed to 1 tap reaper

unborn perch
#

Falchion is a real disappointment

austere mica
#

I think its fun

analog yacht
#

Like while getting a new shiny ranged weapon would've been cool I would've been down for power falchion if it were actually high quality

#

idk moveset wise I still prefer it to a normal power sword but it's definitely not at relic blade's level

#

crazy how relic blade got all these unique attacks etc. and falchion comes out and it's just dclaw with nerfed relic blade activation

tame lodge
unborn perch
#

The Falchion moveset is the reason I can’t fuck with it like I do the power sword.

analog yacht
#

my contention is that even if the damage values were good the moveset is still mid

unborn perch
#

Straight up

austere mica
#

I like the mk2 moveset

#

Haven't tried the other one

I haven't been mentioning fgs bc I don't play psyker but that one's pretty cool too

I heard that you don't like having to activate Psword every 3 swings so fuck you

@tall torrent help meh out do you like no respite with tac axe bp? It’s the stam on crit

frank basin
#

Stam on crit? Are you using dead shot?

tame lodge

No

That's Zellys talent

#

Speaking of no respite

frank basin

This is veteran chat, if we want talk about zealot, start posting like zealot

I'm going to rock that on my ilas

Since stagger is borked

Why arbites has no ilassy Sitgryn

For a agrip revolver meant for killing bosses what blessings should I be running? Trickshooter and sustained fire?

why'd that come up on my other monitor

void dragon
#

what blessings are good for the accatan combat shotgun?
also, are the Chswords worth now?

hybrid plover
frank basin
#

Manstopper and flechette would be take open salvo and reciprocity

hybrid plover
#

opening salvo is not that good for accatran

frank basin
#

So that lower crits chance?

hybrid plover
#

if you're running that, you're running it with ws which will just guarantee crits

#

no need for a node that doesn't give a very meaningful bonus to crit

frank basin
#

What duration of ws last

hybrid plover
#

like ten seconds lol

frank basin
#

I think it would be you need kill enemy with melee to get benefit vs passive crits

#

As if someone has compulsive reload

#

Open salvo range spam

#

I used to spam special ammo every shot

void dragon
frank basin
#

I forgot is onslaught build stack from individual pellets or is only count 1 hit per shot.

calm shard
#

1 hit per shot

#

multiple pellets hitting the same target combine their damage

frank basin
#

It would be funny if is max stack count every pellets

#

Easy brittleness

void dragon
#

what about the chain weapons axe and sword are good nowadays?

frank basin
#

Somewhere I remember said chainaxe is good

#

My last use like mk12 is the poke does good single damage

tall torrent
supple laurel
#

Agile engagement looks really good on paper but is it actually good

#

i mean it seems like a flat 25% damage boost

#

seems good with sum like a laspistol caxe build

faint beacon
#

Yeah? Its uptime will always be there the moment you swap, besides you should be using your gun mainly for special takedowns

#

so Skirmisher and E.Weakness does the heavy lifting with your melee

calm shard
#

agile engagement with knife+double barrel

#

vomit out damage everywhere

unreal marsh

what was the better chainsword varient

make the crushers fear your poker

but can i be useful without the plasma gun thing

void dragon
#

i think i understand now why you all like the rashad so much, the push attack hit has some quite disgusting stagger power, enought o make ragers flinch and stop, something the Psword powered attacks have but quite little ammount of weapons give such net of safety. alternative other good weapons for the class just ignore such dangers because of better speed to just kick it

frank basin
#

Give you 10% 12.5m within and 25% max 30m bonus dmg

There’s new boltgun variant mark

Except people say they weaker damage and more boomy

Vet is no where near the absolute best class in game

frank basin
#

There’s also power falchion

faint beacon
#

thats easily Psyker

#

but he's not "Top 5 Class" anymore

frank basin
#

Power falchion work like relic blade but slight less dps and more mobility than power sword

icy gulch
#

best damage worst survivability on psyker, played it, its okay. pretty cool feeling like space harry potter but it gets old after awhile

frank basin
#

Oh zealot and psyker tree got reworked

faint beacon
#

Press button to nuke the map, the class

icy gulch

i do like feeling like ichigo with a blaze force greatsword or whatever its called from time to time

wait so basically, everything got reworked

if we talkin meta, meta is miserable. i play how i want. fun=op

Oh right the martyr purpose zealot rework from 1% every damage taken converted to 25% missing health max for 50% cooldown reduction

faint beacon

when you learn how to stay alive with Psyker you can ramp your damage to fucking ludicrous levels and barely take any damage

Zealot has good damage and insane survivability but cannot hit Psyker levels of just do unfair amounts of damage

wonder if i would get banned for naming myself Psykertard

void dragon

@tall torrent am i right that the weapons that are conisdered good on Vet are the ones with a push attack that can fend off or get away from ragers? even Taxe owns one, feels like a pattern

everything

I see this new update has changed veteran and added some new guns

supple laurel
frank basin
icy gulch
#

veteran is the best class, psyker is the worst, arbites is uncool, ogryn is also the best class, and zealot is the best class

fiery raft
#

I wasnt gonna play arbites anyway

#

not until i can for free

frank basin

New boltgun mark and new melee veteran (power falchion)

Vets in a weird spot with tankiness tbh

#

they're tanky but not

#

What's changed with veteran?

faint beacon
#

cause they have only TDR

icy gulch

because if it wasnt true, no one would be playing the game

frank basin

Warhammer: Veterantide

Unlike every other class now that has a DR option

its weird

#

No more shitty tax node

supple laurel
icy gulch
#

well i havent played since the rework

frank basin
#

Right veteran crits base is increase 5% more total 10%

faint beacon
#

Honestly I have to wait and see how the meta settles down for a bit before I can really make a choice on who's the best and worst

#

but I can easily say Psyker is the best class in the game

frank basin
#

Veteran stamina delay reduced to 0.75

icy gulch
#

now when yall say rework, do ya mean its like, we buffed 1 or 2 skills and rearranged them, or is it more like, we completely changed around everything and classes now are more distinct

supple laurel
#

do yall think agile engagement is a must

hybrid plover
#

not even a debate

faint beacon
frank basin
supple laurel
#

see im going to take no one left behind chadgryn

hybrid plover
#

well actually i guess if you're leaning real heavy into ranged

#

then maybe not

#

but otherwise, yes

faint beacon
#

Like if you're sacrificing it, it should be another insanely good talent pick or extremely important talent for said build

supple laurel
#

or whatever its called

#

leave no one behind

icy gulch
#

if you think about it, veteran is basically an AoE support bard from other games

i like more ammo more ammo means more pew pew more pew pew more fun

honestly with vet powercreep though its probably pretty solid now

otherwise, it is the weakest one

Special slugs or actually clicking with it

is vraks mkv still good?

figured

i don't even use the special slugs like

also are the keystones still all mid except wep spec

making my talent tree agian

the same ranking as before

weakest - MMF
okay - FT
best/meta - WS

if anything, the margin between the rankings kinda widened even more

because ws is next to so many good nodes now

I've stressed

the idea of them doing that with right side

with voc

consider deleting ur psyker character

You could take both

i swear you couldnt take both

reason no one did again was cause

and literally NO reason to ever do it

and is still bad

yeah it's a trap node

always has been

#

that shit has gotten me killed more than anything actually

stable socket
#

if it didn't have the 50% longer CD i can see it being niche if you don't trust your team

faint beacon
#

its honestly even worse now cause of Tac Awares nerf (it was needed)

#

and it increases your CD?

#

im good

#

Rather just Shout and Revive them manually

calm shard
#

6 meter shout distance

#

is really fucking bad

stable socket

oh it also reduces radius? that's sad

hybrid plover

the revive shout vet only revive shouting when you're in four pits of fire chadgryn

do yall take serrated blade

fiery raft

is the combat knife still goatede

hybrid plover
faint beacon
hybrid plover

works really well with mercy killer knife

the two paths are either Field Improv or Serrated

imo

prolly if your weapon has access to uncanny, cuz otherwise i don't think bleed really helps you kill important stuff faster
