tbh plasma gunners are absolutely gonna get a damage nerf soon or at least a fire rate nerf so i dont really think they count
Or pick exec stance with shared outlines to the team
They need far more than just those two
Eh.
do they?
Their biggest issue is the spawn group size.
Fix the audio cues, lower their group size, and they're fine.
Maybe make them easier to stagger.
yeah true
they should get the neon green of regular scab enemies instead of red
Make them have friendly fire
They should not have the same spawn tickets as shotgunners while having the hp and armor value of maulers
Yeee
Have you ran kraks with this build?
while also being immune to suppression and nearly stagger issume
If they were less common and spawned in smaller groups, they'd be the ranged equivalent of a mauler patrol
looks like Mk1 has a pretty nifty single target combo to make up for how god damn long it takes for the heavies to come out
Which is cool
i have chainaxe use, krak if i really hate bosses and pack crusher, every my build has own con
are you rocking the bleed node? i thought itll be considered garbo
better now?
Push attack get guard broken easily if you cant stagger man
depends on weapon
still garbo but field improv is also garbo so whatever
yeah that's obviously the risk
💀
There’s no longer “Kraks bad”
and even psword im still running bleed just because idk why not
i means all i need is better mobility for the weapon, not like og powersword high dps and slow ass weapon got issue being ganged up by enemies around when you have no blitz, and no i don't have the magic pro-gamer side slide
You most likely to 1 or 2 shot anything you fight. If you not killing it in two hit it's likely to be carapace and the bleed dont help much.
I have test it, I do like 17k bleed dmg the whole match.
A whole handful of health's worth of help
a rager has 2k hp, clearly it killed 8 and a half ragers for you
op

better nerf it back to 1 stack
I'm pretty sure the bleed dmg wont reduce how many hits require to kill them.
yeah bleed is fundamentally a wasted talent for most of Vet's melee options
kraks are so good rn
love them
call me a scrub but ill throw them shits on a pack of scab plasma gunners
i dont care
in the great words of the god emperor
"uhhh fuck you in particular"
ok
dont get me wrong when i post this
im not saying "bleed talent on psword is good"
just that i take it just in case this edge scenario ever happens
ig theres worse stuff you could be spending that final point on
i mean
i literally have to take it or field
and i never
notice field improv
honestly
Oh, I mean to say it's a situational pick, not a bad pick. I've tested it so I share some insight.
the real trick to Field Improv is to be selfish with it
minor inconvenience? drop the ammo box and go wild
anyone with no ammo in non-havocs is probably a mouthbreather that shoots into poxwalkers anyways
@faint beacon do you still love vigil autogun?
are vigil autoguns any good against armor
they never were
no
owned!
Depends on mark and how it’s built
Hey, so I play on console, I have not been able to fix my veteran talent tree since the update, anyone have any pointers, I am driving myself crazy here
I'm pretty sure ps6 cant make use of that node.
MMF Agri Vigil with Rending Strikes
11k are you sure its not from frags
Crusher more like teehee fuck you die
I run smoke so no frag
its still a miniscule amount
But maybe it's good for zealots and ogryn on the team since you can apply bleed better than them.
Idk
If zealot is running blinded by blood
You want them to initiate the bleed
Cause then everyone else gets a permanent 15% damage on that enemy
It doesn’t apply if it’s you or the Ogryn doing it sadly
Ogryn has the dmg reduction on bleed ?
vets aren't really incentivized to get bleed because no talents synergize with it
yea but they apply bleed very easily themselves
oh
More like incentive based on melee
Onslaught is there but like… ehh
Unless you’re using Taxe I don’t see a point at all
if you can't see through the smoke you aren't standing in it
really easy to circumvent the low visbility issue
Tbh without the mod clear smoke, I wouldn't run smoke grenade. Can't see shit man.
i run without the mod just fine
then again i've exclusively taken to using exe stance at this point so
I use the mod exclusively for the pulsing reminder it's about to run out xd
Poor console players, they have it rough 
the worst is it covers up where trappers are :c
yeah god forbid they have to be actively making use of the smoke to see through it
i just showed the marginal utility case
not saying its good
lol
either way you're taking a crap node
I have not test it in havoc. Maybe the larger health pool of mobs help.
The reason I want to test it because lots of ogryn in pubs run thunderous mk3 club. It boost the bleed dmg a lot. And ps6 has very good cleave.
is the best way to use chain sword to do a special attack first for the guranteed critical after?
m
no
the best way to use chain sword is to never use the special
its not very effective
That's sad
its better to run shred
Whats that
another blessing on the chainsword
So special isnt good even to get the 100% crit?
yes
because one may get
20? or 25% more crit chance on all attacks without an awkward requirement
with shred
so basically dont use special atack?
its situational
Just do heavy and push like usual?
Yeah it does big damage
what if like i special attack a small dude for the 100% crit before doing a special on the boss?
so id recommend running those to make up for the lack in viable armor killing
Im not max level on my zealot yet so im not going for rolls yet
its a lot of setup
you may find mileage in it
oh
on zealot?
id recommend shred even more then
if only
so its like not worth using special basically ever?
usually
do urself a favor and just run shred+wrath/rampage depending on variant
what about between light attack and heavy? they have pretty similar damage so is heavy just better for a wider swing?
what mark are you using?
what is a mark
weapon mark
oh iv
ah
shred + rampage/savage sweep
is mk 3 better
iwd
DWI
@tall torrent sorry for ping but have ps6 perks changed
cant power sword 6 still 2 shot crushers now
yes but I think you need a crit now
m
before you could two shot crushers and also have
another node
such as maniac or flak
this was my bugbear with the tougher armour mutator.
It wasn't that the enemies were tougher that was the problem, it was that there are suddenly two dozen of them in a monster closet charging us down
same as before, unyielding + carapace
ty 🫡
the wonders of havoc 26-39
meatgrinder with dubious teammates
kraks pulling crazy weight in the rotten armor too
my favorite in that tier of 20-30 is watching the three other arbis in the match be in three completely different parts of the map
using power sword because of that burning need to carry my teammates
so busted as fuck overpowered melee go
Do they have dog or no dog?
both
And they think themselves are invincible

I love defense maxxing arby
Nuncio and shield mace 9/7 stam, 2 stam perk weapon, 60% block eff
Well, that is the main character of the franchise tbf
if we weren't the main character, why do we all have names?
Oh, there are definitely characters with names who are not main characters in 40k
Much more so in 30k
Named character live longer than unnamed
top 1 melee if psyker didn't exist
Would it be top 2 when psyker exist?
that's ME
Tbf i do not think you'd post it otherwise
Drastically less impressive if that isnt you
na I'm 100% the main char. Watch me solo that daemonhost

-the invisible thunderhammer zealot in the room with us
do it on vet
no balls
I would prefer to leave it alone, personally
I still have no clue how to handle a daemonhost with a Mk6 power sword
Exiled-Sorcerer
Khorne-Mercenary
Dredd-Junior
Viktor-Josepyre
(Legal first name)-Van
So a chaos spawn just fell out the map while waiting for extraction lmao
Like it just spawned and jumped in, bu it somehow just clipped through the ground and fell all the way
funniest shit ive seen
no ticket
bro why can plasgunners do this
got fucking double tapped lol
mfers be firing their plasma guns at full auto
getting into a havc game is harder tha nplaying the game itself lmao
is there a thing I can do to make ppl accept me in havoc lmao
play arbites
Arb, Og, Psyker
run your own lobby and accept anyone
Yup
Bubble psyker, taunt ogryn free accept everytime.
Avoid arbi.
Which ones easier to play out of the two 
Ive only ever played vet
well ogryn is still really strong, they only got very minor nerfs to a few talents in the update
If you play vet you will be fine. People are neutral with vets.
is it still "VoC or GTFO"?
@serene sage Whats your problem with being accepted in your opinion? Just curious.
or has the update made other abilities good in havoc
can other people see your havoc rating actually
yes
i just started recently so am like at 9, idk if people just avoid peeps with low ratings
I think when you do requests they can
demand seems high though in players
You can finish maelstrom and start at 16 iirc.
i imagine it's based entirely on the level of the host
if a host is trying to run 30+ and they see an 18
I meant my Havoc rating btw 
you gotta find vanilla games with no level indicators or somewhere <30
20 and 18 should be fine
Havoc players especially in high havoc, ppl expect an experienced players
Most parties I find just run 40 tho, lowest i see is just aroudn 35
honestly hosting is fine, the helmet penance means that even high-level players will join ur game for the free penance progress
Get hard to earn portrait frams and titles will help you greatly being accepted into a game
as well as climbers
in my experience i get shown the door anything >30, but less than is chill
That, and the team composition
which is reasonable
For example, if they don't have psyker in their team, try to join them as psyker
Arbites is big no no for some reason 
a lot of them are bad
that's why
Can you change operatives while in a lobby
Arbites is the new "vet" player
Which is pretty sad, i'm competent at completing H40 as arbites and i did complete H40 arbites dozens of times but ppl rejects me everytime when i'm trying to join them as arbites when there's no orgy around 
Ngl tho, i think Ogryn is better at H40 than arbites overall
I'd choose ogryn over arbites too if i'd given a chance
I remember the oggy rework thst carried a fresh 30 oggy through hav 40
I started my havoc grind as arbi, get to 30 cant find any lobbies, re-roll and stay as vet til now 
If you are arbi, you dont get to prove anything, instant reject 
Unless you play with friends.
Also, it's because dog arbies, if they die, can cause the server to crash.
unfathomably based
Even havoc forged and true survivor titles can't help at all at arbites being rejected 
yeah but it's like 80% chance they got the titles with the bleed bug xdd
reasonable assumption to make I think
but dont lose hope, i saw many arbi in h40 lobbies after patch.
It's literally an unfixed bug.
Didn't even know this bug existed at first because i ran douglass build all the time 
it was fixed pretty quickly
titles don't matter it's whether people can clutch admonition bosses and chaos demon spawns that happen three times and move to a safer spot as a team
It matters
At the very least this tells that a person completed H40 at least once
It's an indication that at least they are not completely clueless
Nope. I know some people who got hard carried through H40 and have both TS and HE.
They usually play only malice.
I still don't have true survivor lol
Titles, time played, true levels, frams mean nothing
Sorry was me
But it is much less likely than ones without titles or easy to earn titles
People running ahead by themselves in Havoc is nothing new and nothing special.
Why are you running ahead alone? Send your meat shields teammates first
No matter what they have as title.
Celine the level 5000+ zealot that is REALLY GOOD
We have no other metric than true level, title and frame to judge someone skills before the game.
Since havoc punish you for losing. People will always find the way to avoid that. It is what it is.
She’s so good that @tall torrent blocked her
walks into a room with 8 crushers and 20 gunners and twins admonition bosses and be like "i think i want my fwens"
The general personality of such a type won't magically change. In fact, it might only get worse.

I’d clear

And some god players run frameless and titleless.
There’s a mod that counts wins and losses but it also isn’t reliable
@unreal nova I unironically think that no frame no title is even worse.
skill is only measured in game
Excuse me.
only started playing havoc two days ago
Hello ma’am I need a carry please
I connect that with bigger ego.
sometimes john darktide is the clutch
Granny really just told me no
sometimes.
what you want is the player that still has his prison uniform at level 30
Or more, just pretending to be a new fresh 30 tbh.
They usually run 'rejected' title
What mod is that, I dont even know if i have 50% win rate 
the "let me solo her" dark soul players that run deprived every run
Depends. Some do, some just nothing at all.
They are easily distinguished tho
I always wonder how many mods they run.
And if they are a speedrunner type
Because most of them are.
And most of these types are annoying.
Since real clueless players often runs that one of the uh, munitorum something something green titles
You can have real clueless players running anything they have or want
Not exclusive to any title or frame really.
Yea but i'm talking about the odds
Depends on player. The one I know more tries to babysit a blind goof in H40, because Lights out.
And in my anecdotal experiences
Just check loadout, i dont trust title / true level.
If they run anything reasonable they are in.
that blind goof should learn how to do it themselves.
ironically if they have Auric Exemplar it's actually a reliable title though it's purple
I think i have a reasonably good sample size since 3 years i've been playing DT
Bro h40 players have tendency to join low havoc with sub optimal or self-imposing challenge load out.
They still leave at first opportunity.
Doing that in havoc is selfish act
Even lower havocs
If i want to run some goofy aa build i go in auric
At least, they usually stay and change load out if run fail.
Whats the difference between veteran and zealot they seem kinda the same
is recon lasgun any good? im not sure what gun i shld go for i need a boss shredder
prob like autogun or whatever its called
whats exe and vet
Executioner's Stance + bolter veteran build.
ahhh okay ill try that rn im runnin voice of command cuz die so i need brain dead stay alive
they kinda blended their roles now so the difference is just their weapons and abilities/talents
I wanna try that with the new bolter
which is better? like zealot abilites is less toughness back but you can dps a lot but veteran it knocks enemies back and gives 100% toughness and probably some more on top but no extra dps
flavor?
opinion but this is vet chat so vet better
does zealot even have a shooty capstone?
mind i have never played anything but veteran since the beginning
no they dont
zealot has no shooty at all
none, nada
do not do it
for duelling sword do i want the dumpstat to be mobility
Well, there's a few talents lol
ty
cleave damage iirc
unless update changed that
not even ONE
zealot even has aliexpress weapon specialist
ty
Zealot has melee nodes, and melee node for your secondary melee
no ranged
:)
i only run light infantry gun and snub pistol on zealot
most other ranged just doesn't compensate
what do we think of the new boom bistol chat?
I’ve only heard bad things about it never used it
well i need to update my vet builds, anybody got a good commissar build(voc, chainsword, bistol) yet?
ok as a utility gun on zealot
worthless otherwise
these fucking arbies taking away all our kills with their nades and ranged spam
oh wait
like actually better or just more fun
What happens when 2 vets have Focus Target during a match and both tag the same target
does it overwrite the first one or does it stack
Uses the tag with the most stacks I think
vet is a hybrid class
zealot is melee specialist
just think of it this way
there is only one stack but the enemy gets softer
oh, so like the +5% extra dmg is is applied twice then if both vets tag a target with FT?
overwrite to whoever had the highest stack
ex: if a veteran applies 4 stacks and another veteran applies 6 stacks, that'll be 6 stacks on the enemy because 4 stacks get overwritten by a higher stack count tag
ohh, gotcha
With this kind of sv, why is demote still a thing. WTF
Imagine getting demoted from that.

dont need to imagine
ive gotten "mission aborted" like 4 time since coming back
lol
and ive only played havoc
you wont melt bosses with recon but you can kinda put out sustained damage at least
whats the difference between the different dueling sword marks?
one of them has a slash heavy iirc
slash, thrust, repeat moveset kind of thing
4 is the really simple one, and overall prob the strongest
5 is the meme
2 is better at horde clear but worse at single target than 4
Yes
how's this?
havent had any dc issues on my end just yet thankfully
played like 2 games this morning and was fine
No
wats dat
the mode that have many bosses
3veg?
Anyone tried the more vertical light swing pfalchion?
both are thoroughly meh
Meat and 2 veg?
I do unyielding maniac
path says it's a rashad sidegrade
im too new to this game to understand the lingo
And replace headhunter with surgical
im like 40hrs in and i also dont lmao
i just saw crit = no ammo usage on lasgun and went ooooo me likey
It's a Maelstrom type mission
with veggies? 
Recon vet🥀
Roman numerals but looks like VEG
so 5 eg? or
Heretics don't eat their greens so they become rotting green
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d51275b-f9c4-4494-9b88-bfafbbbf4981/terrible-vet-build mah build
It’s terrible pls don’t use it
Vegeterribles 🤮

well if they give me a even longer charge on the Helbore for more damage il take it
GRANT ME THE WISH LAS FUSIL AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
Hellbore is amazing
got more or less no ammo usage and 1-2 tap Crushers at damnation diff
so it works well
but i want more!
By some miracle the team I was in accomplished a havoc 40 with rotten armour and encroaching garden. it was... an experience
You gotta build it right

MORE I WANT MORE!
A Fusil would be sick if there was one
i think i buildt it right but like
the gun itself
using the mkIV rn for the higher dmg
but i want even more 😭
would pay 40 bucks just for a long chargetime with a thermal scope
Do unyielding elites, surgical weight of fire, dump stability
running crit and carapace. with Surgical and falter
works well so far anyways
Specialist hunting feels nice
Why run crit chance when you already get guaranteed crit
from my end I've been able to one-shot Reapers with the mk iii helbore
the only thing that survives is a crusher if i dont have any stacks of focus
if i have max stacks i 1 tap crushers without issue
agile engagement doesn't buff shredder bleed right
that would be a little too silly
fun police smh
frags with skirmisher is already pretty nutty lol
well i dont think thats normal
gotta keep reminding myself to sprint / slide first before throwing a nade
turn off ammo gain in numeric ui
is this a grinder specific thing or is it bugged everywhere
should i use plasma gun or helbore with combat blade? pretty inexperienced with veteran
So im doing the smoke grenade penance. What is the point of this? The grenade seems to do literally nothing.
Whatever makes you happier rn tbh, you can find success in both. I prefer plasma tho for the cleave.
i remember last time i tried plasma it was a bit tough to reach one shot headshot on crushers, so i'm worried about that
but that also was a time where my helbore didn't really do much damage to carapace. not sure if i just built wrong or though
i think thats a bit high of a breakpoint to be worried about
hello veterans
i heard helbore got changed in some way about 2 title updates ago i think?
it disrupts field of vison, pretty good counter to the plasma gunners atm ive heard
it fucks with shooter AI and specialist AI, forcing them to get very close to you
or they just blind fire
so it's kinda like a bubble, but a sidegrade

wuh?
lol you in SEA?
Yeah
he's talking about a bridge or some shit
Oh
we got yeeted by plague ogryn.
right after the elevator boss spawn in Dark communion map.
whats the new power falchion's details?(perks, bless, dump, etc)
mobility dump
unyielding + carapace
cranial grounding
heatsink / energy leakage / wrath
hah imagine if we have sex on the mourningstar haha
eyo?
just had a plasma gunner shoot me straight through a sandbag

not good, not good 
@analog yacht do u know in which file are user sensitivity settings stored?
it's not in user_settings.conf afaik
what mark?
I use mk2b
okay so the build i made earlier today just reset itself and disappeared
wtf is going on
is something wrong with loadouts
It's either server side or an encrypted settings file, but mods can still call the functions to set sensitivity: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/38
oof
idk if it ever changed but setting FoV in the config didn't stick either last I checked, had to be done via mod as well
I got the constantFOV mod and it's a gamechanger
went from 108fov to 120constantfov
oo yeah that's good
esp since sensitivity is fov (more specifically focal length) dependent in this game
Is it just me or can we not scroll up or down in the tactical overlay any more?
Which is good for zoom sens but when your hipfire fov keeps changing it gets wack
what that do
I turned all 4 fov changing stuff off
prevent fov change?
sprinting and certain buffs change your fov
sprinting & dashing don't increase fov
aiming down sights don't reduce fov
exe stance doesn't reduce fov
yeah getting that just for exe
can you imagine 120v
I can show u rn
can we all unanimously agree that the exe stance zoom in is completely unnecessary
120vfov
144hfov
my god
I just play at 103h since so many other games cap you there that I don't wanna mess w/ muscle memory etc.
if I got used to high fov in dt then I'd get motion sick in other games 😔
most games have 120fov tho
well
it's supposed to make aiming longer range shots easier
but yea it's mostly detrimental now
Is it me or is that skin ironsights still bad?
it's got some use on weapons with uncanny
particularly knife with mercy killer
but it's nothing major
Yeah, at its base value it isn't doing much in meat grinder
really just comes down to if you want a little extra damage or some extra utility from your ammo boxes and medkits
@tall torrent help me out
I think it's good
Do i really need twbs if I take unfaltering on thammer?
?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9dda22ad-68a6-4234-8df3-7fea5a87a024/terrible-non-crit-zealot-build?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button trying to minmax this
I wouldn't use TH
sorry
Well let’s say crusher
why not use punishment in place of thy wrath be swift
Punishment is a meme
but you're using hammer
Twbs is constant
Punishment only prevents attack cancelation, not slowdown immunity
They're different things
Its dumb
ah uninterruptible
I also don't play crusher on zealot
Tbh I wonder if it’s perfect how it is
thunder hammer's fun i need to start looking for a good roll
I have the godroll in my build I sent
Trying to theorize if I can minmax it more atm
i have the mats to build one i'm just kinda lazy and also playing veteran a lot more now
i have tried a lot of the Falchion and its damage is really not that great, compared to the C.axe it performs worse overall, and naturally both are quite behind the Psword
It is however more fun than both of those
very fun!!
i feel like a cheap zealot when i use it
seems nice
also for that build specifically, since you're using flamer, anoint in blood?
true, its combos are fun to use, i just would want it to have equal performance with Rashad, definelly needs very minor adjustemnts to be amazing
Not needed but nice
I don't want anything to have equal performance to rashad
Give it sunder
I want rashad to have equal performance to everything else
it needs a damage boost while active, its single target isnt there yet, idk if sunder is the answer but def would help
equally shit
monkey's paw all vet weapons are dclaw tier but other classes unchanged
because half the weapon are shit
Inb4 combat axe have penetration profile of DC sword 
It likes to mix heavies for single target
20 more damage with them with sunder
And horde clear
they really just gotta remove/rework bromentum. it's way too silly of a perk
I feel like that would gimp tac axe
idk I don't think it's a surprise that most of the strongest weapons in the game just use bromentum to 1 shot 4 guys per swing
like even PS gets it for some reason lol
they'd need to give axes actual cleave if they removed BM but it's just so meta warping as it exists
I think axe get low cleave, high penetration is intended. Like in Vt2.
i mean they were kinda unusable in v2 except for like, slayer
elf 2h axe got cleave and it was fine. snd was still better
I hate elf 1 hand axe with a burning passion
elf 1h axe worst weapon in the game lmao
too many weapons are OTP
have tried using crusher with a crit build and it "Feels" the best, the weapon can swing a lot but it lacks on damage that i feel crit style cold favour its finesse
have you tried doing a Chorus build so far?
Crit crusher is amazing
Extremely good
feels the best, tried with martyr and IJ and it just not there
Tbh book i have mixed feelings
and the no respite means you can push attack all day
If I were to do book I’d use crit
Keep in mind the crusher is crit adjacent not a crit weapon
When you stack scourge is when it crits a ton
Like the hsword
still, i feelt the difference on mauling 2 different crusher hordes and your rager swarms, the crit one felt far better at reducing them to paste
Yeah it’s really just preference
will give a try to that path, thanks mate
Knife, tac axe, evis, chain sword, and dcalw are crit weapons
Oh and dueling sword
depends on weapon
i love it with the duelling sword but thats also because it gives me nostalgia to vermintides bleed WHC
plus it might be placebo but it does look like it helps me with clearing hordes with DS
its good on knife with mercy killer
and uncanny
its the same moveset outside of push attack
Yup
and alt fire is parry instead of fire gun
And the funny infinite ammo pistol that benefits from perks
Prob going to be using Falchion for a bit, but I haven't tried it quite yet
I opted not to take bleed
idk how useful it is on falchion since falchion tends to kill things very fast so the bleed wont have time to ramp up
personally i dont like the falchion but lots of people are saying its perfect so it comes down to personal preference in the end
i wouldnt use the bleed on either weapons that are able to very quickly kill hordes like power sword for example nor would i use it on slow ass weapon like combat axes or chain axes
How's the mobility on Shock Maul?
And for horde clearing and killing elites fast, i'd just use PS
since the way bleed dissipates one stack over time unlike fire id say serrated is best used on weapons that attack fast and/or have uncanny on it to reduce armor damage mitigation
still not convinced on the Chswords, but maybe will try a tanky/slower version with evi, ty
Is Covering Fire a good node for stealth flanking build?
Is Covering Fire a good node in general?
no and no
I havent played long enough to know which ones is bad or not either mate 
I just ask for builds or look at some online
since I cant slap builds that are halfway decent on my own
unfortunately like 90% of online builds are atrocious and this applies to every video game
for dt maybe even 99% bc there's so much crunch
Double barrel flanker stealth build I came up with.
What should I change?
longshot gives +10% r.damage now idk
just for the reloud speed
free 10-25 ranged damage
You don't need reload speed if you run always prepared
longshot is good now
Because you don't need to reload
not worth for DB tho lol
I just like using both barrels
Still don't need to reload
Just get a kill in melee, swap off and on, then play as normal
Next time you draw you're at 2 shells
ok then two nodes free, what should I choose?
no wait one node.
Take always prepared
should I take Covering Fire or one Motion?
ok
Middle node at the top
Does weapon specialist nerfed? Used to be reach zealot's melee prowess
What
covering fire is so troll
why tho
if you're shooting elites/specials (or even chaff if you're using recon las or something) you should shoot the ones that your allies aren't currently engaged with
at baseline you're denying them toughness and leaving the guys farther away from them alive to shred them and all covering fire does is mitigate that a bit
it's not something you should be doing to begin w/ and the talent just mitigates how bad it is
Understood. thx for explaining.
it bothers me sm when I'm meleeing a pack of dreg gunners or something and about to trigger a bunch of confirmed kill procs to keep me safe from the other pack of gunners and my ally magdumps a spearhead into the pack I'm attacking and leaving the other pack to kill me
if everyone is focus firing a single area there MOST likely is a enemy sneaking up for you to get some easy toughness out of
its mediocre even if you use it as a support node. Even assuming youre trying to kill adds instead of elites/specials to buff the teammates, the buff lasts 3 seconds, which means that most often to get something out of it for teammates you gotta keep killing. If youre killing all the stuff near them then they dont need damage bonus (for 3 seconds) and the toughness regen while nice is also kinda whatever. Most people already run things to gain toughness on their own, if you want to regen their toughness youre better off using Born Leader
Thx for explaining!
the only time, genuinely only time i could see it useful is if youre using it to cover them while they are fighting a boss. but even then, it would be better to just burst the boss down rather than try to "defend" them
people who put the medkit in the fucking killzone in gloriana need to take classes in critical thikning
just had a 1 vet 3 psyker moment lol
playing support vet, just kicking ass with three glass cannon psykers and one of the force greatsword psykers pop a burster on the stairs in archivum sycorax which blasted me into the void
so, i'm gone and then one of the psykers do a force slash which activates a daemonhost which boops them onto a ledge and they get killed
two psykers left and, of course, a wave spawns right as they're entering the floor where we're ready to be ressed and they're split up. one gets one-shot by an overhead mauler swing, and the last psyker gets overwhelmed
not even upset about it. the witches are silly, doing their little silly antics
was a flawless game up until i got blasted into the void
With the double barrel he can one shot any incoming mutant as it reaches the group and give everyone 15% toughness. Turning mutants into a free toughness delivery system 
Does Rending nodes actually do something?
Why do they exist?
Am I missing something?
gives 10% rending to everything
rending rocks
coupled with the MF subnode you can get +25% rending
helps with crushers and other armored goobers
ones that you can hold in your hands
i dont think theres any weapon that wouldnt be happier with 10% rending
maybe apart from melee that already has access to uncanny
since youll get to 100% anyway
I had this question cause people call Ogryn rending node trash so I was curious what makes the veteran ones different.
weapon selection
rending does wonders with the munitorum maul heavy attacks against crushers and maulers specifically imo
but having it with anything with great innate armor pen can help you melt anything with armor
Thx yall learned a lot.
as an ogryn main, a lot of the weapon selection already have great armor pen, so you can forego picking nodes and go for blessings instead if you want or feel the need. talent points are valuable!! 
anyone got an exec stance plasma build?
wouldn't that be overkill? I dunno.
maybe its for Havoc
Either you send me the build or I make an abomination and torture you with it
They got a lotta health on those
no, it's for aurics
fair.
i got like a bolter exec build that i pretty much just use universally 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH JUST PUSH THE FUCKING POXBURSTER AWAY STOP FUCKING ELECTRYFYING IT WHEN WERE IN CLOSE QUARTERS TUNNEL
YOU FUCKING MORONS
i just change the ranged weap on it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
also i dropped a medic box on the ground because i got field improv and can clense the corruption on 2 out of 3 psykers in my match
AND THEY FUCKING JUST RUN OFF
AND ONE OF THEM DIES THE NEXT FUCKING 5 SECONDS
damn
this is AFTER they decided to anger a fucking deamonhost for no fucking reason, we didnt even have a horde on us they just started attacking it
and the worst part is that this was a maelstrom, im actually kinda expecting atleast a SMALL fucking barely bottom of the barrel competence
insane aura farming
based
That's actually what I do every time I see a dh as psyker
but, usually I'm able to kill it solo with no outside help
Which I doubt your teammates were able to
yea well all of them lost atleast 2/3rds of their health to the deamonhost
which is why i wanted to heal them WITH THE FUCKING MEDICRATE
what difficulty are you playing?
auric maelstroms
let him cook
i really want to try using exec stance boltgun but time and time again i keep being shown that i NEED to round shout vet
Yeah I'd run that
I warned you
dont call gordon ramsay
Vet is my least played class for a reason
why is the talent tree so compressed
what weapon is this supposed to be for
plasma
what do I run then
you dont need covering fire
What do I need then
Why do you like covering fire so much?
Why play vet then?
because I want to
sad
I see
you can't just say I don't need covering fire
And disappear
awesome
i was on the site
Actually I asked the same question just before. scroll up a bit.
if you dont care about melee attack speed just move it from there to field improv
its nice to have field improv as it affects everyones medic and ammo crates
suppression really that good it's worth 2 whole talent points?
i personally dont run focus target much so id just throw the extra points into the bottom right to get reciprocity and desperado
that's what I was thinking
what melee weapon are you running
I don't fucking know
I guess falchions are new
so prob those
I just bought mastery 20 on it
Gonna try and see how it goes
I thought they had good adm already?
Skirmisher on the right side buffs grenades
when falchion is out of juice, youll want as much help as possible
or keep it on toughness, doesnt matter
when it's out of juice that 10% is not helping at all
more damage is more damage
25 toughness is a lot
plus i gotta check but i dont remember if blitzes also gain rending from the node
that +25 turns into like +40 with curios
they should
I'm going silly mode with power falchion
energy transfer and counter attack
all perfect block stuff
hope you're ready for a bad time
it's working fine
h40 sstim + rotten armor is worse
Yeah stims I think is worse than encroaching
the no stagger makes taunt ogryn a necessity to keep psykers alive
yeah rotten armor
actually the worst modifier for stim
oh they're about to die?
fentanyl
Sprinkle some pox gas modifier on top
The true havoc end boss right now though, is not getting an error and losing the match to a server crash
yeah mission abort has been way more common recently
especially if it happens after you have already won and are back in the loading screen to the Mourningstar

new patch new crashes
I spent 1.2 mil rolling a 70/70 defense power shield for my arb
It just showed up in the actual shop
I call this the "crazed gunman".
Kill fast, die even faster.
lol
does fully loaded actually work right now
or does it have the same bug the ammo stat has on weapons
it works
the bug is that they deleted the part that affects magazine size under the ammo stat
wait a moment, this was much higher before, right? I recall what, 50%?
Flak + unarmoured perks
And @tired egret if you care to optimise the last bit of value on that gun
also prob 60% charge rate
dose Concentrated fire buff the crit chance on melee weapons ? i see the blessing in the buff bar thing
I tried
Wasted 2 mil
gonna try again in 2 mil
or more likely I'm just not gonna play vet
I played vet for 1 mission
and I still hate it
IIRC I have one with the perfect stats, and I got it on the first or second roll
sorry for taking everyone else's luck, I don't even use plasma much
same
plasma luck is determined by ones opinion of the plasma
if you don't like the gun it's exponentially easier to get the perfect one
I think that's mathematically sound
Just got my internet back after 2 weeks thanks to the back to back typhoon philippines had. So any video guide on the ventran rewrok?
iirc the 10% rending applies to every weapon, so your gun gets it too.
i'd suggest you just go and see the new trees yourself
they aren't exactly reworks, the trees are just more open and some nodes have been fused together/integrated into the class (say goodbye to suppression as vet)
tl;dr: lots of tax nodes folded into other nodes, and tree is much more streamlined allowing you to get stuff that used to take 5 nodes to get if you weren't on that tree with a 1-2 node dip.
yeah I'm wondering about taking that extra suppression now. I wan t them to keep their heads up so I can shoot them.
also some nodes have been buffed (longshot is good now and Exe stance too)
and some nerfed (CD has been nerfed so shout spam isn't really as good)
or if you're indifferent
I only spent like 1 mil and got a 72/68 that shoots 8 times

lets you get the highest fire rate while still keeping 8 shots
and charge rate affects m1 too
it still charges to fire
hence the delay when you click

tho at this point i have like 150 hours like this
playing with ankle weights
i thought the plasma gun was just built different like that
duelling sword or power flachion?
Power falchion for an actually usefull weapon against hordes ds for safety and pokie stick.
DS is good against hordes too
lol
shit got buffed with this update
💀
🤡
Stop glazing the duelling sword
Its not that good at everything
Everybody says that its good when they use 4 frag grenades for every horde…
Yeah chainswords feel good now have been using it a lot with my vet after the update.
chainswords good for weapon spec?
you don't need flak+handcannon to hit 2550. Just +10% r.damage, precision, and hc does 2576? Though superiority instead of HC also gets the 1shs
loner 2
What class is that from
that's pretty bad isn't it
I'm pointing to the left so no one looks at your broken damage numbers and psyker remains unnerfed
yesn't
coherency regen is primarily bad because it is disabled when you are aggro'd by melee enemies but iirc if that mortis buff works as intended, that is precisely when it works
its a bit like EWEW on zealot
even then, it seems horrible for the opportunity cost
unless it counts a whole horde as like having 10 allies and hypercharges your regen?
This is non-crit
there are rolls to this? i thought there only was different MKs of guns 😭
who are you strange person
a curious newbie
if you look at a weapon in your inventory you see 5 bars of stats
i thought they only were different based on the MKs of weapons
good to know though
means i can do some tomfoolery with the helbore
well different marks have different stats, some have different abilities and have different movesets in combat
the stats change between marks sometimes, yeah, but the numbers are randomly generated when you acquire the weapon and determine which stats can be raised to the cap of 80% and which stats will remain lower
ideally you want a weapon that goes to 80% in everything except one stat which then caps at 60%, usually called the dumpstat
finding the right stat spread is 'rolling'
what i was talking about was getting a thunder hammer with good rolls, and typically the defenses stat is the "dumpstat" for that specific weapon
It's a little like the knife where you feel like you're doing a lot (high APM) and staying alive, because the weapon is super safe
but your kill count isn't that high with the DS
It is much safer than the Falchion when three ragers are swinging in your face, though
