the loner

shell spire
#

Yeah gets my blood flowing

void dragon
#

If those are bleed charged so you can engage in fisticuffs melee with a horde with 12 bleed and 6 soulfire I think it matters a little

#

peril combustion just adds more fire to the pot

frank basin
shell spire
#

Uhhh

formal hamlet
shell spire
#

What did vet even have

#

My brains dying

#

Shredder

#

Used to crack but shredder more versatile

void dragon
#

Krak nowadays is quite handy specially Vs new crushers

serene bough
#

Mark IX

#

Now thats a throwback

shell spire
tall torrent
#

Puncture is 4 stacks

#

And 8 stack isn’t that much damage

shell spire
#

Oh yeah bleed was the maib thang on the old build

#

Stab ton stacks of bleed

red portal
#

Yo what's good.

grand perch
void dragon
shell spire
grand perch
#

but you could slot in any ILAs you like, its just that mk IX has the best cara ADM

void dragon
#

So you can keep swapping to cover the room in warp bleed

tall torrent
frank basin

#

And is not mega dumping, it's an specific value to reach 86~ peril (44 I think?)

red portal

#

at 60% warp resist, 2 warp slashes shows 79% peril

red portal
void dragon
tall torrent
#

u have to quite literally be at 0 peril

#

to make this 1 niche case sound better

#

on a build that probably uses assail

void dragon
tall torrent
#

with warp ghost

tall torrent
frank basin
tall torrent
#

that is incredibly niche

frank basin
#

@shell spire otherwise, this can be reallocate to tinkerer

void dragon
tall torrent
#

2 warp slashes from a 60%WR already gets u 79

#

u need to be at <4 when u started doing those warp slashes for this "downtime" to be relevant

void dragon
shell spire
#

Good tip

void dragon
#

From 0 peril

tall torrent
#

because

  1. you're likelier to run SG than vent for FGS in the first place
  2. you're prob gonna run assail with warp ghost so finding urself at <4 peril is incredibly unlikely
void dragon
#

Yeah, which doesn't matter since you can touch 100 for those slashes and still be on time for fight, the 0 case is to initiate a fight with a 2 warp slash bleeds and a vento on all the approaching horde

willow prairie
#

lol only bad psyker want 0 peril

#

or have lower than 50 in first place

shell spire
#

Allrighty doody lets give it a go, went with serrated blade cause me likey extra bleedy

COMISSAR'S BACK ON THE FIELD BABY

red portal
void dragon
#

2 it's more practical, believe mate Path.
You can assail around and it's the point of keeping it at the exact peril needed for max fire, so you can assail if you want and be on high peril while fighting

red portal
#

Is there a very specific 5% breakpoint you're trying to reach?

tall torrent
#

this not a plasma/ripper scenario

#

this is like "should I dump burn to 76% on flamer to get 64% dmg"

shell spire
#

@frank basin very nice build thanks, just gotta get the reload stuff to muscle memory and we all set, the bleed is a nice addition for some stuff, you can pop melee weakspots for quick kills but if you interrupted or swarmed it gives you the option to just go moosewood stadium freestyle on it

void dragon
tall torrent
void dragon
torn root
#

just finished but its more for me quelling for toughness and and going straight back up to 100%

#

quietude abuse healing 80% really fast is nice

tall torrent
frank basin
void dragon
#

But it IS

tall torrent
#

nah 4% peril is nothing

torn root
void dragon
#

You don't think of the optimal path to do something in the heat of battle

#

That small adjustment made it automatic

tall torrent
void dragon
#

And it cost NOTHING

torn root
tall torrent
torn root
#

oh i guess you are talking about the build up

#

my bad

#

but each active atm gives me 45% peril -- so 2 actives is 30% toughness and another 30% since i quell it so fast. i Just find it useful and it makes keeping damage really easy via unstable power

void dragon
#

Or Vs bosses to do the same but faster

tall torrent
#

and, again, I said in point 1 alrdy, ur likelier to run SG over vent on FGS in the first place

void dragon
void dragon
#

Why made vent adjustments for non vent builds?

tall torrent
mortal aspen
#

gyatt damn

#

kraks are actually cracked vs bosses

#

with all the buffs rolling

getting two double kraks on pogryn is

#

so good

old cobalt

they REALLY do

torn root
#

you running tinkerer?

steel veldt

old cobalt
grand perch
#

extra damage is better tho

#

for havoc at least

old cobalt
#

ya but 2 nades

tall torrent
#

u have 3

void dragon
tall torrent
serene bough
#

3 kraks is more than sufficient

void dragon
#

Gosh darnit Path, catch a joke

tall torrent
#

running all 3 grenade talents in that row means ur dropping smth important elsewhere

mortal aspen
tall torrent
#

which is probably a 25% dmg node or 25 TGH

serene bough
#

With both demo team and demo stockpile regen talents you almost never run out of kraks to toss

mortal aspen
#

realistically you probably don't need the left nade talent

serene bough
void dragon
#

Yeah, one Krak that is juiced up is enough

serene bough
#

Kraks not worth and using with smokes is trolling

void dragon
#

Left is for frags, right for smoke and kraks

serene bough
#

Speaking of smokes, where is the new vape god vet build

mortal aspen
#

smoke the map

void dragon
calm shard
#

smokes ironically being completely skill point neutral despite needing tinker to be good

#

because demo team is a complete waste for them

void dragon
#

Yeah, you want to be surgical with them to get value

serene bough
void dragon
#

So no need for spam most times

serene bough

Which is half the time it takes for stockpile to just regenerate one anyways

The ultimate smoker build then shall be born, double nades and maxed out uptime to blind the enemy AND, most importantly, your team

to gamble for the electric smoke

the smoke electrifies enemies that enter it

it's only a waste if it didn't hit anything chadgryn chadgryn

I hate it when I try to throw my kraks on a monstrosity and it locks on to the scab rager 5 feet away

My fault for not underhand throwing it but still.

steel veldt
#

I love chainsword and bolter

#

Bolter makes me not even have to use grenades and I love grenades

#

and chainsword lets me clear hordes when I run out of ammo

#

then again I played 4 hours on Heresy for my friend who is new

#

I prob still need nades on Auric

narrow widget
#

chainsword
clear hordes

steel veldt
#

probably worse than uhhh knife or DS

#

does knfie even clear hordes

#

I religiously use like 4 weapons

#

so I don't even know

#

and fyi it's eviscerator, chainsword, knife, DS

#

usually the first 2 the most

#

like I only used evis and chainsword for the past 40 hours

#

and I have 100 hours

chainsword was not made for endgame

The trick is to fixate on meta weapons like me using Psword since release thumbsup_ogryn

#

Dueling sword has a parry??????????

#

Did they just make it unnecessarily more op?

#

What

tame lodge
#

Yeah

#

Since last week

shell spire
#

Holy crap

#

Like the poke was useless

#

Ish

mortal aspen
#

which recon is the best and which of them has horde cleave?

tame lodge
#

XIV has 3 cleave
And is the best (definitely not biased)

old cobalt
#

I tried the XIV, used it exclusively

#

then uhhh

torn root
old cobalt
#

then i swapped

torn root
#

before it could stack rending so damn fast

old cobalt
#

and i realized the XIV is comparatively dogshit

shell spire
torn root
mortal aspen
#

only ADM

sharp epoch
mortal aspen
#

which it has 100% anyway

shell spire
shell spire
torn root
#

just that you basically had no downtime on rending strikes before not that you have mush atm to be fair

mortal aspen
#

armor penetration

sharp epoch
#

you could use poke to stun muties and save teammates

old cobalt
#

never looking back

shell spire
torn root
old cobalt
#

for recon lasgun

sharp epoch
#

also functioned as a second attack

shell spire
#

Why do you think the poke was better?

torn root
#

again

#

the poke gave you a lot ofup time for rending strikes

#

A LOT

sharp epoch
#

Also new DS with zero stagger is worse against crushers because you need some stagger you cant dodge every hit

shell spire
#

Rarely used it myself

torn root
#

thats was you lmao

shell spire
#

I trust in you

torn root
#

the poke also had decent damage

shell spire
#

Hahahahaha

sharp epoch
#

I don't use DS so I don't really have skin in the game

torn root
#

matter of fact if we had the poke now vet would have no downtime for exploitweakness

#

ngl

sharp epoch
#

I just know that poke > parry

shell spire
torn root
#

the poke and all the crit that the classes have made it way more potent

shell spire
#

Feel the parry

#

Become the parry

#

Hesitation is defear

sharp epoch
#

Parry is better against ragers, but poke already was a good counter to ragers

shell spire
#

Well yeah I used it for that sometimes

sharp epoch
#

So it is a nerf, but I think DS is in a good spot atm

torn root
shell spire
#

Dont matter got the short assassin blade and gonna rock it anyway

sharp epoch
#

Also they should remove agile as a blessing on DS

shell spire
#

Emperor wouldnt second poke

torn root
#

another thing ppl dont realize is that old DS actually did take advantage of onslaught

#

now its harder

#

for the ppl enjoying it with recon las while they were able to

shell spire
#

Riposte thrust anyway

sharp epoch
#

uncannys always been the top pick

shell spire
#

Well call me a heretic and execute me for heresy

sharp epoch
#

then either thrust or agile, but agile gives you infinite dodges on the most mobile weapon which is a little op

old cobalt
#

i feel like the Devil's Claw needs to be reworked to be brought up to DS

#

DC/DS should be two sides of the same coin if theyre both gonna have a parry

#

one for horde clear, one for armor pen

shell spire
#

One for pokies one for swingies

old cobalt
#

the DC should have some of the absolute worst armor pen veteran can wield

#

and some of the best cleave

#

not uhhh

#

not the like 97 base damage its currently sitting at for lights lmao

#

DC got power crept HARD

sharp epoch
#

I think it's just ds is more suited for higher levels than dclaw, one is single target but high damage one has cleave and decent hordeclear

#

mostly the armor pen which kills dclaw

shell spire
#

Does vet still have the aim down crit ability and uhhhhhh

#

Something else was on my mind too

sharp epoch
#

deadshot yes

old cobalt
#

that does seem to be an issue in this game

#

if its not good for mixed horde clear or armor pen

#

trash can

#

0 hesitation

#

tbh i also feel like if a weapon is gonna have a parry it should be straight up offensively outclassed by another wep but im not exactly super knowledgable

sharp epoch
#

It might become meta if it could deal with armor and mixed hordes cause its super mobile and on every class

old cobalt
#

if you're gonna give something insane defensive capacity it should NOT be best in class for damage

midnight wyvern
#

power sword

fair shale
#

I still want to know which dev thought giving DS a parry was a nerf

sharp epoch
#

power sword is nerfed by its mobillity

narrow widget
fair shale
midnight wyvern
#

DS is not best in class for damage

old cobalt
#

what fucking melee weapon does more against crushers than DS?

fair shale
old cobalt
#

ps?

fair shale
#

Powersword

old cobalt
#

For two shot?

#

ya i figured

fair shale
#

Oh

sharp epoch
#

ps6 is like a 3 shot now

#

with the crusher health changes

narrow widget
sharp epoch
#

maybe 4 if youre not full stacked on skirmisher

old cobalt
#

from what ive heard?

#

ds didnt need a nerf

narrow widget
#

"hmm yes lemme just heavy special heavy and it is dead with no chance of attacking back"

old cobalt
#

at all

shell spire
#

Is the meta mk still the same on ds

midnight wyvern
#

yes

narrow widget
fair shale
sharp epoch
#

ds losing poke is a nerf, but thats it

old cobalt
narrow widget
#

psyker and zealot other melee options might as well not even exist

old cobalt
#

Relic Blade?

midnight wyvern
#

zealot could 1 tap crushers with DS lol

fair shale
#

DS needs a nerf because I need to stop seeing everyone in the lobby run DS and now I'm the only person with a modicum of horde clear

shell spire
#

Bleed, aim down sight buff, invisibility what else was in that one build

sharp epoch
torn root
old cobalt
#

i basically just have it as an "oh fuck" button\

sharp epoch
#

and DS doesn't require as much talent investment if you want to go a ranged build

old cobalt
#

stab something scary if it gets in my face with a parry and that is

#

all i use it for

#

ammo econ on my lasgun build is NUTS and unless i have 3 ammo hungry teammates i just dont really need to swap to ds

old cobalt
shell spire
#

Is close damage everything within certain range?

#

Like not only melee?

torn root
#

it better with WS imo tho

old cobalt
#

but i kinda forgot about it because it immediately started a debate

torn root
#

sadly

shell spire
#

Sweet then i think im set with this build

sharp epoch
midnight wyvern
torn root
# sharp epoch ps6 is like a 3 shot now

its 2 shot if you can keep up weapon exploit and skirmisher and maybe proc agile engagment right before a pack [pretty sure you're locked into weapon weakspot damage as a perk for this tho iirc]

hollow ibex
#

so yeah it's pretty damn far

torn root
#

i play too much with power sword

torn root
#

Brutal Momentum + weapon weakspot damage and the buffs all running whould let you 2 shot crushers in pack for the 5 seconds

#

gl on the lucky crit for weakness exploit

sharp epoch
#

Why not just take 25% to carapace instead of weakspot?

torn root
#

im talking about having both

#

just noting that it IS doable

sharp epoch
#

oh I usually run carapace and unyielding

torn root
#

not that i advise it

#

atm if i have weakness exploit with focus target i think i would still struggle to kill a pack with 2 shots each

#

redirect fire isnt enough πŸ™

sharp epoch
#

It's not really that good when the 2 shot becomes like 4-5 on havoc though

midnight wyvern
#

it'd become 3 yeah

#

they go from 6500 to 9750 on havoc 40

sharp epoch
#

normally I do a l3 after the stab overhead so for me it's more than 3

#

stab overhead stab just drains stamina a lot faster

torn root
midnight wyvern
#

3 stam curios

torn root
#

its a bit slow but its what you got

midnight wyvern
torn root
#

hmm

#

maths

#

i can 2 tap crushers without pinging

#

never took into acount agile ngl

#

but idk how weird the math is

#

for me im pretty sure onslaught is messing with my damage XD

#

3528 + 3086 for my 2 hits with just agile engagement and skirmisher, so you 100% can 3 tap them with just those 2 [unmodified by onslaught]

#

no +10 weakspot damage either

sharp epoch
#

10% weakspot is a waste tbh just grab 15% elite

#

it does more damage

torn root
#

because it worked on more than just crushers for the poke combos

#

i also use to run sunder

#

but now i don't πŸ™

sharp epoch
#

I'm still on the fence on sunder or brutal momentum

torn root
#

both are good, choose which ever you like

#

sunder only shines imo when using heavy attacks on bosses

#

or fighting into mixed hordes maybe?

sharp epoch
#

For me it shines when stunning packs of ragers/maulers

torn root
#

^

sharp epoch
#

but brutal momentum has better single target damage and hordeclear

torn root
#

the stagger is why i also used it or the longest

torn root
sharp epoch
#

unless stab and overhead are heavy attacks I don't use heavy attack much

torn root
#

poke is very easy to land imo

torn root
#

unfortunately

sharp epoch
#

Yeah then sunder doesn't get that much value there

torn root
#

and the heavy you get out of poke is underhand left to upper right

#

sucks

#

you'd have to poke light heavy

sharp epoch
#

Also sunder helps when fighting bulwarks your sword doesnt just bounce off

torn root
#

yes, its really good for mixed hordes

#

doesnt stop you from killing shit when bulwarks are infront of you

#

my last grip with heavies is that you cant animation cancel into one as far as i know

#

at least i cant SEE the frames

tall torrent
#

sunder doesn't lose on pure horde much vs BM but is significantly better vs mixed horde

#

u can also cleave through captains' void shield with sunder

torn root
#

the only thing BM loses in hordes is the ability to kill things past bulwarks

tall torrent
#

nah BM is quite a bit worse vs mauler/rager mixed horde

torn root
#

aah fair, but i still kill em lmao

#

i have always perfered sunder

#

but for the 1st time ppl can persuade me to use brumentum

lament gale
#

bromentum is mainly for the weakspot on mk3 anyway

mortal aspen
#

Power Sword is OP feelsbadman

tall torrent
#

sunder power sword VI is basically the fastest melee mixed horde clear vs mauler spam

mortal aspen
#

ranged build
all talents ranged
power sword still mulches everything

sharp epoch
torn root
#

im speced all into my guns

#

and i get carried by Psword still

mortal aspen
#

but for it to basically oneshot everything and cleave through everything in auric with almost no melee investment

#

but

#

unpowered lights can't even kill a poxwalker in 2 hits

torn root
mortal aspen
#

nah, idk. Power Sword is powerful but the mobility is so dog

#

equipping Taxe is like lifting the chains slowing you down

torn root
#

not dumping mobility makes it feel nice

tall torrent
#

I run basically every dmg node for power sword

sharp epoch
#

packs of crushers are hard to fight without a little stagger with PS because you only get 3 dodges and you have like no stagger

torn root
#

i swap between the 2

mortal aspen
#

mobility gives slightly better sprint speed and that's it

sharp epoch
#

I havent tried kraks on havoc yet hmm

hearty panther
#

i fucken love sprinting

tall torrent
torn root
tall torrent
#

in 1 krak u can do what 3 TH heavy attacks cannot

sharp epoch
#

I'm suprised you don't take the extra grenade node for krak

mortal aspen
hearty panther
#

*(look cool)

tall torrent
#

otherwise 1 krak does like 1/2 of crusher hp and ur left there embarassed

sharp epoch
#

you can drop 25% toughness node it looks like

torn root
#

just losing out on .4 and 1 cleave value

tall torrent
#

simply cuz 25 TGH helps more often than grenadier does for krak

torn root
#

^

#

would only give up the base 25 toughness for the WS node that give 20% each swap

tall torrent
#

and I'm pretty sure u can actually build vet to tank 1 plasma shot and not break toughness

#

even in havoc

little fox
#

Is one motion worth a darn on weapon specialist veteran? Or is the 50% swap speed kindve a meme?

sharp epoch
#

It applies to your grenade swap too

torn root
#

gotta not waste agile engagement up time

tall torrent
#

plasma, boltgun, helbore, yes
revolver, shotguns, not really

little fox
#

That's probably it then, I'm playing a caxe/d barrel shotgun build rn so I wouldn't appreciate it rn

#

Ty gentlemen

sharp epoch
#

dbarrel you would want it too

tall torrent
#

it doesn't make a big diff on DB swap to fire time

#

I checked

little fox
#

You think so? I feel fast enough swapping to it and deleting specialist

sharp epoch
#

I mean though longshot on db is kinda useless

tall torrent
sharp epoch
#

other than the 10% close damage I guess

torn root
#

even if it did affect the swap by much

#

its not it has a slows ass swap time like other weapons

sharp epoch
#

im thinking of running this build for kraks

little fox
#

Idk how to feel about longshot tbh, I feel as though the stacks from weapon specialist feel like enough damage. I'll run it this next match and see if I feel the difference

torn root
calm shard
sharp epoch
torn root
#

yes

#

that and it also enables teammates

#

ogryn could love you for it

calm shard
sharp epoch
#

field improv or serrated blade

little fox
#

Well how are crits calculated on pellets? I'm making the assumption it's 150% damage like most games crits

sharp epoch
#

Do you got a scoreboard that shows bleed? I'd need to test it

torn root
#

serrated, i like field improv ,but i will always vote autonomy 1st

#

in a situation where im by myself the bleed willdo me more good imo

torn root
#

keeps crashing me

little fox
#

Although with longshot I wonder if I can take out snipers from a decent range if I get a lucky pellet on him

sharp epoch
mortal aspen
#

DB can kill snipers very reliably with crit Flechette

sharp epoch
#

I'm gonna test serrated blade vs a field improv build and see if its worth

#

if its only like 30k damage out of 1 million it's eh

#

wait then I'd have to drop frags

torn root
#

you will see the dps increase

253k bleed total between me and arb (og didn't have bleed) in stimms modifier

torn root

yeah also the bleed stacks up and can actually help you kill shit

tall torrent

that's between serrated, frag and dog bleed

torn root
#

ESPECIALLY IN BOO BOO ASS GARDENS

#

serrated helps with cleave distribution

#

since everything gets the same number of stacks

#

let's say u light sweep and hit 5 maulers

#

not uncommon to swing 5 times

#

that's 10 stacks of bleed on all of them

and it can help teammates (zealot for crit chance, ogryn for DR)
