It's nearly identical.

sullen scarab
#

Do you take deadshot with the vigil autoguns?

grand perch
#

yes

#

well...single shot one, burst sometimes

#

agrip is bearable, columnus drains stam quite fast

sullen scarab
#

gotcha

desert valve
#

I have Falter & No Respite on mine because the 2-shot makes that setup do some funny shit.

sullen scarab
#

if anyone has a good build with executioner stance made I'd appreciate it lol

#

ah ok

#

do you take flak/maniac?

desert valve
#

I take Elite/Weakspot

#

I do not plan to hit anything other than headshots.

XII: Ultimate noob magnet, brrrrt memes. Excels at being an infernus stick (stack burn, then immediately stop). Slower reload, and nerfs move speed while you're firing.
VIc: Best all-rounder, preferred choice of sweats. Doesn't have the ergonomics debuffs that XII has while still maintaining a good rate of fire.
XIV: Niche, generally used with Deadshot memes, which can be strong, but build-specific.

desert valve

And if I miss a headshot, I die.

you could also go for weapons specialist in the bottom right since loads of damage buffs are on the way there

#

this one specialises in crit headshots

Except WS is for plebs that can't hit headshots.

Unless I'm doing Commando Shit.

In which case all bets are off.

Is this for a marksman's focus build, or nah

or am i to try it

And not missing.

Now I just need to figure a decent melee, been using the sapper shovel with uncanny strike but idk if I should change that as well

desert valve
#

I've played an unhealthy amount of Counter Strike & Battlefield and have a very highly-tuned ability to aim.

#

If Marksman's Focus is bad, you just fucking suck at aiming.
That's it.

#

That's all there is to it.

Something like this for Vigil 3?

cause like all of the buffs from right side give it enough consistency

I love that gold toughness doesn't come with base VOC

I did pick up rending strikes on mine

Though inevitably I'll need it for havoc.

hell yeah, appreciate it

Power sword VI

#

Same as before

sullen scarab
#

i was just about to ask lol

#

haha

tall torrent
#

Rending helps vig auto a decent bit

sullen scarab
#

yeah I definitely feel it in meat grinder if I don't take it

#

damn the MKIII slaps

#

if i aim even remotely near the head area the gunners pop

#

is it still unyielding/carapace for thep ower sword

#

i know they changed the weird stagger stuff

desert valve
#

Slap Power Cycler on the fucker.

#

See how that feels.

sullen scarab
#

I do, don't worry lol

torn root
#

actually Vigilant mk9 kills crushers kinda nice, i can see it

sullen scarab
#

ok with unyielding I can oneshot the reapers and stuff lmao

torn root
#

just gotta max it out

sullen scarab
#

I like how the poke on the MKVI powersword does like ten trillion damage

#

excellent, thank you sir

torn root
sullen scarab
#

i know, like wtf

#

I did JUST the push attack, not even the light combo after

#

and it did 4000 damage to the reaper

desert valve
# tall torrent

Why in God's name do you have Mobility on the power sword?

tall torrent
sullen scarab
#

LOL

#

yes

#

i noticed that with the skins

#

I remember its because Cleave Targets does literally nothing on the power swords

tall torrent
torn root
faint beacon
#

It one taps bulwarks

torn root
#

so its a valid dump stat

torn root
#

not that the cleave targets matter because of the powered state

tall torrent
#

well

#

it can matter

#

just not to a relevant degree

#

10.9 (60%) vs 11.7 (80%)

sullen scarab
#

Plus with Sunder it doesn't really matter at that point right

tall torrent
#

makes no difference on how many important enemies u can cleave through

tall torrent
#

but like

#

at that point it's negligible lol

sullen scarab
#

yeah lol

tall torrent
#

ur likelier to hit smth with 10 mass than to hit 12 dreg ragers

desert valve
#

Negligible but Incremental.

torn root
#

from the stat

desert valve
#

You notice it a lot more when there's 69 of the fucking things.

torn root
#

in havoc i doubt it will ever help you get an extra meaningful kill

sullen scarab
torn root
#

stab cancle into light attack

#

the roll it was on

sullen scarab
#

ahhh might be the brutal momentum

#

i have sunder

torn root
#

i uuh, havent really tested if rending strikes is actually affecting me much

#

BUT i do know you need bring it down as a minimum

sullen scarab
#

i think its cuz you have BM

torn root
#

with sunder you have to 3 shot

#

sadly

faint beacon
#

Sunder gives more value

sullen scarab
#

yeah i like sunder more, i was just trying to see what I was missing on the two shot lol

torn root
#

sunder gives more value in other places

#

its subjective

sullen scarab
#

i think the 15% from the headshot was missing

torn root
#

i love sunder more - but i hate crushers enough to need my 2 shots still

desert valve
#

Depends on if you want to be throwing heavies or not.

sharp epoch
#

you could possibly put the 10% elite damage instead of unyielding

#

to reach a 2 shot

#

but thats also just for auric not havoc

torn root
#

well i did that without using my focus target

sullen scarab
#

oh true

faint beacon
#

Personally I'd recommend against seeing Cara + Unyield would let you just nuke enemies you usually want to nuke with it

torn root
#

as far as i know as long as i have 2 stacks its a 2 shot on crushers

faint beacon
#

cause with right side buffs you're already killing your average special and elite

torn root
#

havent gotten all the way to 40

mortal aspen
#

Sunder cleave works with all attacks, right?

sullen scarab
#

yeah I slapped on BM and its a two shot with skirmisher and agile

sharp epoch
#

I like unyielding though because yeah you can fight bosses actually with it

mortal aspen
#

only the damage is for heavies

sullen scarab
#

yes

torn root
#

but i have the damage to kill in 3 shots for h40 since they have less hp than i thought

sullen scarab
#

sunder applies to everything for the lights except hte damage

torn root
sullen scarab
#

its nice and comfy for me personally since I can panic swipe while giving myself carpel tunnel

torn root
#

i still use one with sunder, because i like heavies during boss fights

sullen scarab
#

Oh yeah, is the power falchion bad now becuase it can't stagger ragers or something?

sharp epoch
#

PF has always been bad, but its worse now yes

desert valve
#

Just don't wiff the weakpoint strike.

sullen scarab
#

yeah lol

calm shard
sullen scarab
#

the PF IIB makes me weep with its followup heavy attack that swipes up, the animation feels so weird to use lmao

torn root
#

someone had a video where they deleted a crusher in 2 shove attacks

#

the PF just has no cc, which it kinda needs imo

tall torrent
sullen scarab
#

yeah that's what it feels like

tall torrent
#

falchion turned on is ~60% of rashad anyway

sullen scarab
#

rashad so comfy to use

#

#

Holy crap the recon lasgun is so goated

#

Over 1k ammo

sullen scarab
#

oh yeah, I saw people talking earlier, is the best recon right now the VIc?

little fox
#

Is infiltrate even good? I get the idea is to be a specialist killer/rez & clutch build. But it kinda feels weak compared to a zealous shroud field build

torn root
#

as far as i know

sharp epoch
sullen scarab
#

i'll try it out

torn root
#

most ppl ive seen use the 12

sullen scarab
#

the Torrent one is really funny but I hate how slow it makes you walk lmao

torn root
#

i like the 12 more too

umbral harness
#

Xiv for me

sullen scarab
#

yeah I was playing am atch last night with friends and they were laughing so hard with how fast I was melting things wit hthe 12

torn root
#

main reason i might like the 12 is because i can max my brittle stacks really fast on bosses and start swinging on them

The more I play veteran the more I realize the class is really mid rn, I hope the fat shark skill tree rework comes soon

sullen scarab
#

oh yeah one thing about brittleness and rending, does it apply to like everything?

#

or just flak/carapace/unyielding

#

i always forget lmao

calm shard
sullen scarab
#

got it

calm shard
#

because weapons don't usually have terrible ADMs into them

torn root
#

zealot too

#

one shotting the shite out of h40 bosses

calm shard
#

they could already do that

#

even before this patch

torn root
#

from what i recollect its easier and they have more tools

calm shard
#

It's just the Thunder Hammer is bad so people don't usually run it

little fox
#

Honestly just give veteran an actual lmg or sniper rifle and I'd be happy

calm shard
#

Gimping yourself the whole mission for funny monstrosity one shots is a good time though

little fox
calm shard
midnight wyvern
#

gimp yourself on veteran to 1 clip bosses instead

torn root
#

vigilants are closer to DMRs than a sniper

tight plover
#

is there a real reason to use any other firearm than the boltpistol and boltgun

little fox
#

Neither an actual sniper with massive cleave and penetration

midnight wyvern
#

wot

midnight wyvern
#

lmao

tight plover
#

elaborate

#

oh i have color now

torn root
#

other gun that might be more braindead to use because its meta

midnight wyvern
#

was gonna say, I'd argue bolter boss kill vet is more viable than Thammer 1 shot zealot

calm shard
tight plover
#

how is there something more braindead to use than a boltgun

wind gyro
#

Drip chadgryn bolt weapons are cool but nothing beats rule of cool

calm shard
#

this clip is pre-rework though

torn root
midnight wyvern
#

cuz you don't even 1 shot every boss with Thammer

tight plover
#

fair enough, what about las pistol, because i feel like rifles dont fit me, more of a short to medium range kinda guy

calm shard
#

yeah exe vet gets the batshit insane boss damage but is also able to run an actual build alongside it

midnight wyvern
#

or you can just run shout

calm shard
#

shout doesn't give my team infinite toughness regen from born leader?

red portal

#

nothing stopping you running shout with born leader

#

I'd like to see it 1 hit a chaos spawn lol

red portal
#

Just shit out a billion toughness.

torn root
midnight wyvern
#

you can backstab headshot a pogryn

#

you cannot do that to a Cspawn

#

you don't fuck yourself by running bolter

i mean

#

there are videos of ppl running thammer on 1hp in h40

if they pull it off yeah

midnight wyvern
#

you really can tell people constantly that they should show you instead of yapping and they will continue to yap

little fox
#

Martyrdom thammer zealot so chad

midnight wyvern
#

unlucky

tall torrent
#

boltgun is ammo slurper pro max plus

torn root
#

if you pull it off lmao

grand perch
#

well some things are easier to pull off

tall torrent
midnight wyvern
#

all vet requires is to shout at the large man and shoot a stationary head, only inconsistent one is Burgles because you don't stagger with shout

grand perch
#

for example i could stay nice and far away and plink at that boss with my laspistol doing ungodly sustained dps and dont need to get in any danger. not quite as effective as thammer delete, way easier to pull off

torn root
#

dont be a hypocrite

#

how do you show something is more viable

#

what are the parameters?

#

some arbitrary bs or what?

I think TH shroudfield has more value in a team context than boltgun most of the time tbh

Genuine question

orchid hemlock
#

btw which tac is best on vet atm? 🤔

torn root
# red portal Why do you need wound curios

each missing wound gives zealot a possibe 10% increased damage up to 50% -- provided that you have no hp currently filling the wound and thats just from the keystone -- no upgrade

midnight wyvern

you only need 2

#

havent really touched zealot much recently too tbf

had to turn on hitmarkers smh

is that able to be put in by mods?

tall torrent
midnight wyvern
#

whodathunk

tall torrent
#

or well, any build that would be doing that would be basically meme build

torn root
red portal
torn root
#

but all the other monsters in h40 are in range for 1 shots

tall torrent
#

not rly worth building for

torn root
#

oyo oy oy -- we just dicussing if its possible atm

#

these things are important to know and vet

tall torrent
#

idk I don't use h40 mod to check

#

u can do well over 60k in 1 hit

#

to go beyond u'd need to run a sorta meme setup for perks

#

and prob martyr too which is far less util than IJ

torn root
#

shroudfield marty backstabs

tall torrent
#

yea idc abt that cuz martyr not worth

torn root
#

its why i think they might actually be right about not being able to 1 shot cspawn

torn root
#

i can find clips of everything but a cspawn

#

lmao

sturdy crescent
tall torrent
#

plague ogryn 60k
I don't have unyielding on my TH

#

with martyr and unyielding perk it's enough to push >80k

torn root
#

also nice

midnight wyvern
#

highest damage ive seen a Thammer do in 1 hit so far is 120k, which im pretty sure was on a captain, so an easy backshot

tall torrent

🫦

torn root
#

trying to figure out what to swap around for zealot later

midnight wyvern
torn root
#

but i think you'd want the attack speed to not be completely useless

midnight wyvern
#

only 70k overkill

#

also every time a zealot has their bonk eaten by an enemy walking into you or through the boss and stopping you 1 hitting it, im gonna take a shot

right because its not shit terrible if you have enough wounds you only need 5 to be missing and the rest of the h you mos def can work with

sorry martyr gets mogged

i think martyrdom is the only way to have fun on thammer

midnight wyvern
#

how do you use solo play to scale psyk into H40?

#

I had it before the patch and didn't see an obvious way

torn root
#

i havent touched those mods in forever, sorry 🙁

#

already having issues checking shit because every time i turn on mods the game doesnt want to work

midnight wyvern
#

genuinely curious on the top end damage of my vet build

#

but so far in actual practice, Ive seen plenty of Thammer players in havoc and its disappointing every time

so I want to be proven wrong

torn root
hybrid plover
#

I think the problem with being a thunder hammer boss killer specifically in havoc

calm shard
#

is using the thunder hammer

#

and what you're doing every other second of the match yes

hybrid plover
#

Is that very often it coincides with using shroudfield too

torn root
#

nah i think its the curio commitment

hybrid plover

And shroudfield in havoc is uh

#

It straight up might as well be griefing at times

a bad player with shroud field can still clutch by saving mates

cant say too much of the same for the other 2 blitzes

Very often, that player can be the reason you're actually going down to begin with.

i would never place onus on a fuck up i made on someone else

midnight wyvern

a 4th player running stealth means the rest of the agro is directed at their teammates

I used to mess around with perfectionist zealot in lower havocs, talking like low 30's clutched some nice games with it.

torn root
#

accountability and all

torn root
#

i get that you can WANT to blame someone

#

but end of the day when you go down it IS ultimately your own fault

midnight wyvern
#

💀

torn root
#

regardless of whatever gripes you might have with another players choice or how they play

hybrid plover
#

Don't get me wrong, a very good shroudfield zealot is valuable but a bad one can unironically be the worst thing for a team because it fucks with the ai in a way that can get their teammates in situations they simply cannot do anything about sometimes.

sharp epoch
torn root
#

love to blame others

sharp epoch
#

stealth player on the team being one that increases the chance, bubble psyker decreasing it

hybrid plover
#

A crusher about to overhead someone, if they have shroudfield, they can stealth, and that crusher will redirect their overhead mid animation to the next available target.

#

How are you actually going to react to that?

red portal
torn root
#

when you get used to blaming factors on other players thats how you get the whiny bitchy kind of players that only want chorus zealots and bubble psykers

hybrid plover
#

It's not even necessarily the player more than how stealth functions as a whole.

torn root
#

that is literally how i think

#

i run into problems nonstop

#

i start gearing for those problems

#

conditioning

hybrid plover
#

Doesn't change that it can even happen.

red portal
#

You gotta be good to make stealth zealot work yes but aggro dumping wasn't a big issue with the perfectionist build as the people who were using it pretty much insta left stealth mostly pulling aggro back to themselves.

hybrid plover
#

And it shouldnt.

red portal
#

It was more an issue with MasterCrafted who would just sit in stealth for a full 5 seconds.

torn root
#

i mean a teammmate getting too far can fuck you over with aggro

#

literally treat it the same way

#

them being down and out as well

#

same thing

red portal
#

Though running stealth zealot and having teammates following me causing me to get body blocked certainly happened a few times.

#

Like please for the love of god don't stand ontop of me when I'm fighting like 6 crushers away from the team.

torn root
#

realistically ppl with stealth can pull packs farther from the team dragging that heat with them too, then mosey on back over to the team --- there are ups and downs to everything

hybrid plover
torn root
#

not everyone is going to just leave you and dump all the aggro either....

#

2 sides to each coin man

#

i dont like focusing on negatives

hybrid plover
#

Stealth in general is just a weird case where it's either extremely good for the tea.

Or extremely bad for the team and it just comes down to its very function and how it interacts with the game. No other ability really holds that kinda weight.

i would if i could

would recommend stamina gen

if you are blocking

or even using stamina, because dodging stops gen for a little bit

Are the meta weapons that good, or can I take most weapons into havoc?

this is probably best case for any game's meta

do Infantry Lasguns do more base damage than Uncharged Hellbores?

crimson wyvern
#

stealth, imo, is very team based and strong if one has the motive to do so

#

I choose stealth but only use it to upp allies/do objectives

#

lots of people will use it only for perhaps its intended purpose to get advantagous positions, kills etc

void dragon
#

Stealth also seems good with frags, since the damage apply while invi underhanded frags and their bleed do increased damage

sharp epoch
#

stealth cooldowns are terrible though

crimson wyvern
#

Its not a million miles away from being where they should be at 30 though

void dragon
#

Kinda why I use the 2 charges one, because while it has more CD you don't need to use it all time, but as a nova attack or to do objectives

crimson wyvern
#

Yeah I'd never take it without the 2 charge

void dragon
#

But yeah, it's kinda long for how effective it is

sharp epoch
#

with tac awareness nerf it's really bad now

#

stealth should have gotten some compensation like zealot stealth and fotf with the cd nerf

void dragon
#

It has less nodes and build in attack damage, reason why I like it on grenadier builds to make use of that

#

Really skyrocket it's value of each, better if you are lucky with the 20% double nade

I played a few game on vet\arby back to back and the scoreboard is so weird

#

I feel like I'm doing a lot more on Vet, and kill faster and more

#

but the scoreboard says I'm performing better on Arby

#

and I just don't understand how

torn root
#

they really are

mortal aspen
#

I mean the damage done

tame lodge
mortal aspen
#

right, but then on the scoreboard I'm reaching way higher numbers on arby

delicate hearth
#

I feel the same tbh. Optimally, Vet stacks higher damage but Arbi is right behind it and it's so much less sweaty

#

Sliding in 360 degrees around a captain to maintain buff stacks feels so silly

void dragon
#

Vet's damage usually is tied to weakspot damage, killing more efficiently and fast, but since it needs pecision it might fall a little to do as well as the Arby

mortal aspen
#

I'm trying to say that when I'm actually in a mission, I feel like I'm doing more damage, oneshotting a lot more stuff as vet
then I play arby, I struggle to oneshot a bruiser with the shitass shock maul, and have to two-shot almost everything with the mk8 exterminator

#

and yet the scoreboard says I do more damage on arby

#

unless it's just small sample size, but as vet, I get maybe 600-700k damage done at the end of the match, and it can be top damage too

#

but on arby it's 800-900k

delicate hearth
#

Interesting, I feel like I point and delete as Arbi

mortal aspen
#

that's more me doing a quirky build

#

one this is true however

#

arby is fucking boring

torn root
#

arbites shock maul?

#

or the basic one that everyone gets?

wraith locust
#

what's the optimal way to use the agrippina

#

is it the special

sharp epoch
torn root
#

ohif its the basic shock maul idk waht to say

#

use the arby one on arby

#

XD

willow prairie
#

the basic one is dogshit

sharp epoch
#

also the executioner shotgun is really strong too

torn root
#

personally i enjoy arby maul with the shotpistol, or the maul and shield with shotty

wat does the special do on the comb shotgun

i feel like it just staggers enemies when i used it last

While vet is all about being efficient in its damage values

tepid otter
#

Whats the break down on all of the KEKW_ogryn

mortal aspen
#

I'll double check, but I was assuming my scoreboard is set to show only "real" damage

mortal aspen
hybrid plover
#

To put it bluntly, agri's the only one you really want to use the special for consistently

tepid otter
#

huh, alright

#

thanks for that

#

But it would be nice if there was an actual reason to use the specials more

hollow ibex
#

what do zarona and accatran do better than the agri tho

hybrid plover
#

Zarona is not bad at all as an actual shotgun

hollow ibex
#

zarona just feels like a worse agri

#

accataran is an awkward and significantly worse hybrid between agri and DB

void dragon
#

is there an actual build for the Cshotguns? they so far dont feel great with anything i have tried

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

Since the spread when not adsed is wider and actually compliments it more.

#

And the higher base damage.

hollow ibex
void dragon
#

DB reload at least fels better on top of being a good weapon

hybrid plover
#

So it frees up a node.

#

Once upon a time, I wouldn't consider it because vet just didn't have the damage to really push that kinda build with the c shotguns

hollow ibex
#

true true

hybrid plover
#

That completely changed with the rework.

#

A lot of things that weren't really viable now actually are just because vet has so much extra damage potential to work with along with a somewhat more cohesive tree that things that didn't really work before now can.

meager echo
#

I play around with focus target + helbore, I think i like FT more than ws while using helbore. The extra dmg + fast charge of mark V is so nice.

void dragon
#

what about both Vraks inf autogun and any of the Vigilant autoguns? how you are supposed to use those?

hybrid plover
#

You can kinda do anything with vraks

hybrid plover
#

Same with vigs now too actually

void dragon
#

that starts to feel oddly same-ish

hollow ibex
#

Because you really need shock trooper

Perfect Strike Hsword

You see

#

Perfect Strike is -mass

#

What about tac axe

#

I didnt have ammo problem. I think helbore is really strong now that im better with it.

tame lodge
#

No real -mass blessings
But stagger reduces mass a bit

How does OFB work? Is it a flat 5%? Is it ranged or only melee?

Including ranged and nades

#

That's also a 20 mass

#

Pstrike is -75%

#

Right?

#

So it's interpretating it as 5 mass

hollow ibex

#

I mostly use it for gunners, reapers and specialist. I melee everything else.

#

Everything die in 2 or 3 shots. So good.

@crimson wyvern nevermind it was 100k out of 2 million

Isn't that really good for one node though?

Still not as much as I thought but it's not anything to turn your nose up at

Is heavy sword even worth using

#

are lasguns that arent recon decent?

#

i already got recon and laspistol builds for other classes

fair shale
#

A lot of people like helbore

#

I never see anyone say they like the Kant tho

zenith carbon
#

is it useful as a main weapon like recon can be

tepid otter
#

Remember playing Hsword for how it looked, but I wasnt doing any good with it

fair shale
#

I think its more useful but I also think most people use the recon so they don't have to engage in melee mechanics

#

Like, I innately trust a HB vet a little more rn

#

Does more big damage instead of DoT tho

sharp epoch
#

last time i had a helbore vet he folded in 1/4 of the mission

gilded wraith
#

Do vigilants break into the top 5 post patch?

tame lodge
#

And also used to be zealot exclusive

#

Which means that it should get a zealot exclusive buff

#

I play a lot of not vet in havoc rn and lemme tell you

zenith carbon
#

they should make auras stack for the players that have them

fair shale
#

I see more recon vets folded then shirts at a dry cleaners

#

To the point of not accepting them anymore

tame lodge
#

Or both

noble nexus
#

now that the vigilant guns are more powerful, I wish they'd give them a punchier sound design.

midnight wyvern
zenith carbon

only for the ppl that have it

noble nexus
#

back to pre nerf

zenith carbon
#

so you get your own and one other

midnight wyvern
#

and 3 others

zenith carbon
#

no

midnight wyvern
#

oops

#

all vets now

#

look what you've done

noble nexus
#

movement speed aura stacking would be so fking funny.

at least huntng ground is still a blitz refill

i like it but it really doesn't do enough

for 1 point

10 movement speed

#

that'd actually make it so good lol

sharp epoch
#

too weak we need 20%

midnight wyvern
#

the damage one needs help too, just dunno how much you'd increase it by

#

10% sounds nice and is basically just other talents, but its for everyone

spare pond
#

did they nerf rashad? it feels weaker

void dragon
#

they need another extra effect, even if you can swap it (which should be base game, not a mod) they are indeed kinda lacking

noble nexus
#

not nerfed but fallen behind

spare pond
#

ah true

sharp epoch
#

its more they buffed enemies hp

i just got back today

#

tried building a melee vet

noble nexus
#

when was the last time?

tropic notch
spare pond
#

when the arbites was released

tropic notch
#

Try this

hollow ibex
#

it was untouched

#

but benefited massively from vet melee being juiced as fuck

noble nexus
#

Suddenly I want a DB variant as a non-sawed-off hunting rifle

#

gorgeous

#

an over/under would be sick

noble nexus
#

indeed

tepid otter
#

is that 4 bullets im seeing

noble nexus
#

oh there's a little one up there

tepid otter
#

talk about multi purpose lmao

noble nexus
#

the tiny one kinda ruins it ngl

tepid otter
#

I get reminded of this for some reason

noble nexus
#

huh

#

The contraption doesn't seem too complicated yet it wasn't implemented before.
Must be impractical in actual long term use.

#

cool concept tho

tepid otter
#

ikr, i heard it hard more moving parts on this one despite how simple it looked compared to your standard pump action or lever action

noble nexus
#

I knew it.

tepid otter
#

more moving parts = more things that could go wrong

#

apparently

noble nexus
#

man real life physics suck. why can't we have more cool bullshit.

tepid otter
#

real KEKW_ogryn , i think there was a bunch of other weird weapons throughout history

#

like that axe gun or the harmonica pistol

noble nexus
#

reality just couldn't catch up to humanity's creativity.

#

#

we should be in charge of reality not the other way around.

tepid otter
#

imagine the kickback if you shoot all of it at once

zenith carbon
#

maybe a varmint gun actually

#

so you got your rabbit gun, deer gun, and bird gun

noble nexus
#

Maybe dreg enemies should be more resilient to fire and energy weapons. and scabs and carapace strong to physical. Honestly, with the scabs buffed health the dreg faction just feels inferior.

zenith carbon
tepid otter
#

awww

zenith carbon
#

they have 2 triggers for the two barrels that are the same

#

and then you switch to the other barrel type and one of the triggers is just normal for that

tepid otter
#

giving multi barreled a new meaning

scarlet crescent
#

what blessings do u guys put on falchion?

noble nexus
tepid otter
#

I got Cranial and Energy leakage on it, pretty aight

noble nexus
#

but fr tho dregs needs some buffs

#

that differentiates them from the scabs.

#

there should be a benefit of them having less armor.

hollow ibex
#

funny how one patch we were talking about how scabs were less tanky than dregs despite all the armor

noble nexus
#

yeah only healthpool just ends up them going back and forth

#

we need an actual difference

zenith carbon
#

im fine with dregs generally being a bit weaker

hollow ibex
#

dreg ragers attack faster ig

noble nexus
#

different resistance to different damage would be a nice start IMO

zenith carbon
#

could make them all faster to match the ragers

hollow ibex
#

but yeah i mean dregs are meant to be more trash

#

it's literally in the name KEKW_ogryn

noble nexus
#

well they could have more nurgle warp bullshit.

hollow ibex
#

that's basically what the unarmored is in this game

#

tanking literal swords to the head

#

because nurgle

zenith carbon
#

infested is the nurgle bullshit

noble nexus
#

do they actually tank those tho?

hollow ibex
tepid otter
#

are the shields from the champions of nurgle also just a warp shield

hollow ibex
#

well i mean all of them are infected anyway

tepid otter
#

or is it something else

hollow ibex
#

blessed

#

not just infested

noble nexus
#

I want the game to feel more like a combat puzzle.

#

this for that that for this kind of way

zenith carbon
#

so many weapons need nerfs for that

#

too many king of all trades weapons

noble nexus
#

yeah that would be a lot of work thinking about it.

#

but still

noble nexus

#

Man back in V2 this was less of an issue cause there were actually different factions with different races.

tepid otter
#

That on a different game maybe

#

I havent tried Vermintide 1 or 2 KEKW_ogryn Is it similar to what Darktide is

#

Just a horde game

zenith carbon
#

even more melee focused

#

but yes

noble nexus
#

and spacial awareness.

zenith carbon
#

also more tailored story driven maps

obtuse raft
#

At the most base level. But the lack of sprint and slide along with the average lower power of characters makes it feel very different in play

zenith carbon
#

we started with 0 toughness and we had to build it up manually

#

AND WE LIKED IT

#

Also the THP system instead of toughness is huge

tepid otter
#

THP?

narrow frost
#

temp hp

zenith carbon
#

temporary hp

#

you had talents that would restore missing health

#

as temp health that would decay

Toughness is a much better system imo. THP was always funky to balance
