vet is closest to 50:50
i'm dying i didnt see who it was nor the cap
Ah the sofa man
Vet is like the hybrid class
the cap is great
Which makes sense
zealot hybrid kinda does not exist
arb's guns are far less flexible than vet's
Hey I love using my Bpistol on Zealot
They adapt to the situation as it happens
Yeh
vet has the best selection of ranged weapons good for havoc
This is why I remain a vet main lol
heavy stubber got nerfed comparatively this patch cuz scab enemy hp changed
Heavy stubber getting dunked on
if ur only drawing it to kill specials in between melee atks and not using it for anything else
is it really hybrid
I have a knife that I sometimes don't use because Bpistol
throwing knife*
This is effectively what I use Plasma on vet for tbh
yea plasma is somewhere like 70% melee and 30% ranged usually
exe is a diff case but ammo still prevents it from being significantly more than 50% ranged
thats pretty close to what I get 2 mil melee almost 1 mil ranged
I love playing pubs hahaha
.

I think I know him lol
was he a psyker?
like level 90 or something?
just surprised he would say that is all, hes not often one to say things like that lmao
theres a pub i used to run into every month or so who always recognized me and would cheer me on when i had to solo clutch a couple times 
was pretty cool. havent seen him in a while tho. hope hes ok 
ogryn build prob ass
H40 people are very chill. Below that is a shit show man. The demote system create a nasty problem tbh.
also idk how arb only had 6.5k bleed dmg
I think its funny that you demote all the way to H40 but at 40 you won't
is bleed dog that bad now??
It's like a 10-20% damage increase depending on what it's targeting
Its defo not an autotake vs some other arb talents now
I still think it's good because since the dog has good rending it helps a lot on Ogryn or boss enemies
Even crushers the bleed does good damage
Ill agree it helps specifically for ogryn tier enemies
its underrated tbh
The way I see it, anything that increases the dog's flat damage is beneficial
Because the faster the dog kills something, the faster it can move to another target
100% opinionated that should be changed
bleed + volatic significantly reduces ttk on pounced targets thus allowing it to get up and bite other stuff more often
The reason they did it is to prevent people who decay on purpose
demotion feels bad for everyone involved, especially since it could be from a server crash or sth
Oh I demoted cause I depipped twice to 2014 errors 3 days ago and I havent launched the game since tbh
yea srsly. shouldnt be a thing with how shitty the general stability is
better yet
just make h40 baseline as havoc diff and remove every other rank
it's not like people actually care abt playing havoc below max diff anyway

Tru
no more speedrunning havoc 1s for the insignia lmao
some people can only manage the lowest havoc levels but still want to experience the modifiers
or just separate it to 3 tiers
havoc low (for people that want >auric but not too hard to get weekly resource)
havoc medium (for people that want a challenge but aren't into CBT realm yet)
havoc max (h40 equivalent for those that aren't challenged enough)
im plenty challenged
and make all 3 scale from auric diff
so no funky breakpoint changes between them
but 1-16 is much easier than auric
could be like
h21 equivalent
h31 equivalent
h40 equivalent
I think the dev don't want havoc to be this way, but the higher up force them to implement demoting to boost players retention.
Havoc 1 is like fuckin malice
this is all damnation/auric scaling anyway
h31 is when fading light 2 turns on
Havoc could start with 16 and have quickplay until 25
its probably that sort of yeah
I dont see how demoting could possibly keep people in havocs when you're liable to demote to FS servers
I heard that the ip owner of war hammers is very difficult to deal with, that's why we have very few change.
I agree the whole system is set up for the convoluted idea of player retention but like
Goddamn FS
Fix the internet lol
They should just make h40 baseline and your pc ought to explode if you go down
This game might genuinely be more consistent P2P
Yes. Surely that will fix the game.
vt2 is a very stable game 
Honestly, in my subjective experience I got DC'd less in VT2
I can think of a lot of times in DT where I get repeatedly DC'd to a 2001, 2004, or 2014
Or there isnt even an error code its just
"Backend error fuck you go to start screen"
I unironically went in and out of my havoc match about 20 times in one minute yesterday
Fatshark error coded me everytime i tried to play
I felt like
The servers are even worse lately
You mean always 800 ping.
When I used to play it, lowest ping I had was 600.
For you? Maybe.
Spiked to over 2k.
I basically just played solo painfully grinding bots up for most part.
Because 1k ping sucks when everything is a 1 shot.
Do you not complain about how bad your connection is to these servers anyway
Not the local.
That's 3-6 ping.
Everywhere else lul.
Well, HK and JP is fine.
Aussie hits 100+ ping.
Everything else is that dog in a burning house meme.
Problem? All those servers are dead at this hour when I play. XD
But 380 ping is still better than 2k ping.
Most ppl's PCs and net is not set up for hosting.
whats the point of the heavy sword?
Kills everything that isn't carapace
an elegant weapon, from the old times
but only with its heavy attacks?
Basically yeah
Relic from old time
nah lol
Still holds itself because it kills everything that isn't carapace
used to be good before it was nerfed?
my shock maul kinda does kill everything well AND carapace
The last time Fatshark touched it was like
3 years ago or something
You're telling me with that like 40 percent tencent buy out or whatever this is the best the servers can be
aha
When we talk about the plasma gun, should I run carapace + unyielding or flak armor + unyielding on it?
Flak Unarmored
Alright
the COMMUNIST swedish government takes 80% of Tencent's money
obese fish has only scraps to work with
ngl, I kinda want to try shock maul on vet
40%? More like at least 60%. Tencent is majority stock holder atm.
with all the absurd damage buffs you get now
I like it fwiw, safe like shovel
Would thst make them in charge of servers
Nope, only the cash shop.
Any bs the cashshop has/does is Tencent/GW.
I want to know why the cash shop cosmetics normally look Bad™ ngl
Ask GW.
I would tbh
If you like, really like the regiments normally the non cadian stuff looks a little off
Like the krieg/armageddon sets not having gas mask filters attached
they prob outsource the models tbh
That's so you can use them off set.
They absolutely do
Ppl wish they added full set versions with proper connections.
Me arriving after I tell bro I'ma touch him
If one was to hypothetically run hellbore, what blessings would you recommend?
Crit
There legitimately has to be a way to make the toob connect
Headshot
surgical + armorbane/weight of fire, depending on the mark
Outside of that the chemdog shoulders look insane
I dunno the difference between marks lol
And a lot of paid cosmetics generally just Look Worse than the penance unlocks quality wise
V = fast
III = middle child
IV = slow
if you haven't played helbore much, start with V
IV is also very good
hits like a truck, but just slower
Is why ppl just want specific ones. The good stuff.
Used to play it when I first got the game, but once I leveled my vet up to 10 it was useless
III idk about havoc, but in auric i think V is just better than III
helbore's very good
they'll prob get better
FS is gonna do 2 sets per rotation from last one onward
Does GW actually look that closely cause lately they kinda give a fuck about accurate model representation
I wonder if the uhhh death korps build is viable now
I really like the WW1 aesthetic
GW has to approve for them to be sold.
🧑🚀 
Most likely better though
Because right side busted
Thats so weird
The sets you see are approved. Even the Arby cashshop one that's actually unique to this game.
I need this 
i think that top was sold a while back
The overcoat exists in arby art fwiw
Like the way that set is set up is unique
But the elements exist in arby art/models rn
Yeah, still requires approval anyway. Thing is like a kitbashed model instead of a good/bad 1:1 of an existing thing.
gauntlet clips into gloves with some animations
There's a void on the regular sets with the gloves and gauntlets anyway
FS quality my boy
Is FS, everything Vet clips as the joke goes...
this why I use the coat
I use cosmetics that clip reasonably little and don't look weird in 1st person
This is one of my favorite depictions of a space marine, I think thats why
this my vet
Hats all clip anyway.
do heavy2 with power sword VI and watch ur arm not exist in bottom right of screen
Not counting helmets.
That coat though... I want the red one so badly.
scrumptious 😋
I like coats... Is why I got the Inquisitor Psyker one as well... a coat on a coat.
Yeah thats everyones favorite psyker torso ime
I spawned 15 thousand crushers
Not a single one with green stimm
Btw
You can't see the red eyes on the crusher with the 3 red eyes
Or whatever that mask is
Finally 1 with green
But only 6k hp
Oh well
games unplayable
what mod allows havoc scaling and modifiers in meat grinder
Solo play
It's a big weird though
Like the first enemy you spawn has h40 scaling
Then the second has Auric
Then the 3rd has h40 scaling
Or so I noticed
Ok something's weird
The healthbars mod shows 6k dps on Krak
Yeah it's healthbars mod that is weird
health bar mod show dps from the moment something got hit yeah
Health bar is not accurate
You need >103.125% damage increase to make krak 1 tap h40 crusher
Which u can easily get with superiority complex + bring it down + grenade tinkerer
Easily
Also I severely underestimated Blue Stimmed enemies
yeah healthbar is just not accurate
fym 1
Something about the healthbars mod just not scaling with the +100% I guess
see?
the first 2 had more than 2k hp
so either I have to get Power DI for better assessment
or solo play h40 psykhanium is just weird like that
this is actually pretty funny
Blue stimmed ragers are absolutely terrifying
kinda weird
sometimes they track me
sometimes they lock their shots into a single place
Apparently based on the timing of your dodge
Aight
Nothing to fear about 45 shots stalkers and shit
every scab stalker armed with a belt-fed mg-42
50% chance of a 25% chance of getting trigger happy stalkers
12.5% chance

I feel like some genders in a character are much more calmer than their gender counterparts, I found female proffessional, cutthroat and male loosecannon much calmer than the other gender
For example their tone changes drastically on voc
Loosecannon male sounds like a swashbuckler while female sounds like a Borderlands character i feel
I like female zealot voice more than male.
Wym by a borderlands character?
male loose cannon sound like laid back, lazy guys to me haha.
He feels like that senior who doesnt give a shit about the job they are doing
And female one sounds like a complete maniac on voc
I love it tho
Gets me hyped up
PUT THE KARKING BOOT IN! 🗣️🔥
My favorite is male cut throat.
many if not all BL characters are a little crazy, which checks for F Loose cannon
prob would fit as the lost big sis of Tiny Tina
same
i love it when he rages at the pubbies
I love male loose cannon voice more, but cut throat lines is just so badass haha.
Cutthroat is insanely corny. That's only reason why I like them. Won't make a character with the personality, but they're comedy relief to me. Comically edgy similar to the zealot fanatic but in a different context.
And it's funny having loose cannon bully them.
I think they're delightful because the literal only people they get along with are all abhumans lmao
The ogryns and Savant Psyker
Hm. Haven't paid hard attention to them in a while. All they often do is wax edgy poetic the majority of the time.
They sound like adults that couldn't develop a personality beyond "hot takes" on the internet as teens for most of their dialogue
Cutthroat only doesn’t get along well with psykers and agitator zealot
Because agitator zealot says Cadia fell because they’re not faithful enough
Scion helm helps a lot
i think they get along with the seer
🤔
the one that talks about beloved all the time
Cutthroat is what happens to you when your literal world crumbled, everyone you knew there died, and you alone made it through to some inquisitorial dump. It's about right for a cadian
Not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about one of those cosmetics that changes voice effects or something?
Yea
🎥 Made with Moments from @SteelSeries #ForGlory
It makes cutthroat sound much less whiny and much more angry
best pals
Yeah it's neat
also imo female cutthroat is the best voice acting of any of the rejects but nobody plays that voice lmao
CADIA STANDS 🗣️ 🗣️
The planet broke before the guard
Eh, they sound pretty bitter already, the performance gets that across. It's mostly just the random comments from some imperium dork (how I just think about every Imperium thing tbh but I don't really engage with 40k).
Female cutthroat is proud warrior
Male cutthroat is “gotta lock in” 24/7
is power falchion mk1 the good one
Out of nowhere they just start talking like some Square-Enix edgy NPC lol.
i only play male professional because im literally John Darktide
Tbh it's also kinda twisted expectations in a way
These 40k games are made much lighter to be more appealing ofc
But someone like cutthroat
Is about the personality you'd expect
From someone growing up under the imperium's living conditions
None of the tone is really lost on me in darktide. It's a pretty shit universe to be part of.
Darktide still did it well
ya
Way better than some of its competitors for sure
40k overall needs elements of a lifeless ambience and a touch of horror imo, to be just right
But this is a very hard thing to do
Space Hulk Deathwing is a game which made 40k extremely well and the game part not so much for example

Lewis Jones captures what 40k is well imo but idk how you translate that into a game
see this is why digimon story cyber sleuth is the perfect 40k game. in this essay i will

Yes
DT and RT both do it
i reaally want to play rogue trader
its a shame im kinda broke
I love that RT has a word quick reference glossary lmao
wat steam region are u in
no like
ill buy it when i get to it
pretty sure that game can be family shared
if ur in canada I can just family share lol
(im not in canada)
unfortunate
also i have a steam family w my brother already
u can also check cdkey websites I got the game for like 40 bucks with deluxe + voidfarer + szn pass 1
damn rlly?
you could also 🏴☠️ BUY THE GAME FROM WALMART 🏴☠️ but who would ever do such a thing
i still have to finish a few games and im really busy atm tho so ill wait around
yea dm rq
Check isthereanydeal too.
Gog is nice library vendor when I actually looked into it.
I can't even get swotor proper to work lol
It's well done in these games. But imo Sh:Dw nailed it. It is downright depressing in the best way possible. Imagine this:
Exterminatus level threat missions with a 3 man terminator squad, cramped inside of a space hulk. It is dead quiet in the game, there is only the creak of metal and the screech of the genestealers, all you see is whatever your flashlight picks up in most areas. On your way to objectives you see your brothers opened up and tortured in many ways, your own team members are silent for the most part, they make whatever conversation they can amongst the darkness
Sometimes, I don't want to spend time sliding stability mods.
Isthereanydeal.
i just trust those 2 websites a lot more than other grey market sites
they havent let me down yet
Are the new bolter variants good
The least egregious one is bolt pistol variant
Bolt Pistol always struggled with breakpoints
So you can feel free to change damage for AoE
that's the most egregious one
complete ass
Hear hear
It's usable enough for me but I prefer the original mark much more unless I'm really playing around with ws and just using the new mark as a goofy cc button for approaches.
And even within that, the new boltpistol mark is way better in that regard
I always never understood bolt pistol fans. It always felt like absolute piss
quickdraw stubber markXIV is cool but it really haven't any strength over other mark
lethal prox
I hear its decent on like Zealot but on a Vet, I think I prefer the Boltgun over it
bolt pistol make you feel like commissar, sergant
Now if we can only wield the Chainsword on the other hand
nah it's just ass 24/7
worst designed ranged weapon in the game
before they fixed stagger but there was some reason to use it to stagger bulwark with mk6 (new variant)
but now it's just completely irrelevant
if u want a fast swap stagger gun for killing specials, autopistol is way better
if u want mixed horde wipe, flamer
The new bolter mark actually does, ya know.
Damage.
I actually like the new bolter and despise the new bistol
hey I'm new really enjoying the game! what ability is good and how do I use them?
the shouts pretty fun so far but I'm just curious
exe stance and VoC both good for vet
Exe stance is fun
infil is playable but not as good
But u need to position urself carefully

hey all
how's it going
haven't played since august, how's the tree rework and stuff?
ballin'
Vets in a good place now
🙏
I dont know about the other classes tho, I've been one tricking Vet since I bought the game 
best melee wep for vet?
power sword VI
Despite how mid it is
nothing else is close
not dueling sword?
I fw it
dueling sword is ok on vet but much better on other classes
Kinda bored of it tho 
Horde clear is bad
Power sword has the whole package
he doesn't really struggle with elite/special killing since
yknow
ps6 exists and has good ranged weapons
ik ik
Yarr harr
in what way vs dueling sword?
Lots of positives. CDR was gutted compared to other classes. Ex-stance and Marksman's Focus feel good.
gotchu
very overpowered but doesn't cover as many things as power sword
Dueling sword has good elite killing (which vet doesn't lack)
it lacks in horde clear (which vet generally lacks)
ps6 you go schwing schwing schwing and everything in front of you is gone
balls? 
Dueling sword horde clear consists of scraping them off on teammates as you run past.
yea
L4
Good single target damage with push stab.
Good horde clear with wide light swings and sunder.
or smth like that idr the semantics
And the mobility isn't terrible since you don't have to dump that stat.
dodges are bad but mobility itself is ok
Honestly if you want a mobile option that can horde clear, unironically, combat knife mk6 is a better choice than dueling sword
Dueling sword is abrasively good at one thing and one thing only.
taxe is prob the better choice for mobile horde clear tbh
zoom up to a dude and whack him in the face, then zoom away 
Shovel is fun tho, if not a serious match
I'm throwing an option that you wouldn't expect to be better than a sword that just is
Just try all the weapon and find the one that u find comfortable and have fun
Taxe is a particular case cuz of brometum
U can play anything as long as u aren't burden to the team
yo where my smykers at
wats dat
ooooooh smykers, come out smyyyyykers
WHERE DID ALL THE SMYKERS GO WHY WONT THEY COME OUT AND PLAAAAY
Smyker = Smite user ?
smkyer is what everyone calls the psykers that almost exclusively spam smite rather than learning how to play the class / game
Is smite just E mode or something
yeah smyker's not just a build, it's a specific playstyle that people consciously choose to engage in (which means i feel 0 guilt when they die to an accidental barrel explosion)
But unlimited powa tho
(sir the smyker died in the barrel explosion gif)
sir a second barrel has hit the smyker
its a valid playstyle, but shouldnt be as strong as it is
anything that rewards low skill is not great balancing this also goes for the braindead ogryn club spam
it's an incredibly selfish playstyle
it's not strong 💔 💔 💔
actually it has good cc but it contributes like nothing to dps
at least that was nerfed
it can output pretty insane dps too
its the current h40 meta and it keeps up with regular staff psykers
against anything short of crushers basically
???
in damage
wtf
i thought that was flame staff psykers
yeah you can do horde clear / mixed horde clear with it
yeah it was which is a good step
Scriers gaze + empowered psionics + smite = constant dps on all armor types 24/7
damn
Current havoc meta is double psyker and other classes to fill in
If it's a new player using smite, I'll be forgiving and understand that someone is eventually going to kill them anyway
If it's an actually experienced player
Both are very strong either way
Every barrel is just free real estate.
Even in the hands of a total moron
Speaking of, is havoc okay now, or do people still have these disconnect issues
Someone mentioned it was one of the modifiers causing the issue, I got dc'd like 3 times in the same havoc game and it was just messing my match up
the one that dcs the whole lobby is from rotten armor though
happened consistently with a smite psyker and pretty often with a nuke ogryn
Well whatever it was, I couldn't sit through one match properly, so someone mentioned to just wait before going back at it
Tryinna get some Auric Titles instead
Which Vigilant would you recommend?
3
3 round burst with headhunter, DA?
Or falter no respite 
I have not tried that combo lol
Those two together are genuinely funny.
And it actually feels like it works pretty darn well
Gotcha, just going off Path's word document for the 3 rnd.
That’s a bit old given vigilants got reworked
If I dont use some form of uncannny in my weapon am I throwing?
No.
But am I missing dmg?
Uncanny is not completely necessary for every weapon that has it except maybe shovel mk1
With the nade - bleeds thing
Okay if you're using shreddera
Then it is highly recommended.
But on its own, its not the end of the world
How highwly? like from 1 to 10
Especially since vet does have means for rending in the tree that isn't too hard to path to
Probably 10 tbh
Woah
Because all of your bleed is affected by uncanny
And not even stutter for a 9, straight to 10?
It's the one blitz that really loves uncanny.
If you were talking kraks or smokes, that number goes way lower
I have this pretty skin for the tac axe... it feels wrong leaving it there in the dust
But the dmg fall off, yeah I do feel it
Nice I use this skin too
Unlike any other weapon that can sue uncanny
whats the dump stat on the power falchion and power sword?
Mobility on falch
Cleave targets on PS
why would you want to sue uncanny
ive got a perfect falchion in my store but the dump stat is finesse, everything else is 80%
Reparations for the crimes of making my builds have no diversity
Feels like always have to go uncanny if I want to sweat/good build
kinda getting bored of my revolver for elite sniping, any other weapons that are good at that? ive used the bolt pistol way too much on my other builds
finesse is never the dump
just gamble at brunts
you should get a mob dump pretty fast
That is the furthest thing from perfect
That is the most imperfect falchion actually.
thats what I meant, perfect 80% in all stats with a 60% dump stat but its the wrong stat
Do you know what the post rework recommendations are for the 3 round burst model?
Have the New vet managed to make even Brautos feel Havoc possible?
You can bring a brauto to havoc
blessings are surg/HH + DA
As long as you never use it
perks prob flak unyielding

i won't stand for this brauto slander
brauto buff when
Not even OPness can save those guns, and maybe not even DClaw
increase swap speed and movement speed
they all need dodges buffed to 4 base
graia needs to fire at max RPM without bracing
columnus needs to have a much tighter spread in general
and little spread growth
all of them could use a 10% damage buff or so
and a slightly larger mag size to make up for how dogshit the reload speed is
that's all
otherwise the brautos are in a good spot 
Perks and Blessings for Infantry Auto..?
Depends on what you wanna do with it.
blessing is always dumdum + deathspitter or sustained fire pretty much tbh
DumDum is usually a must pick.
perks usually unyielding + flak or maniac or crit chance
What mark as well
Just spray and pray I guess 
Agri for a more well-rounded gun
that's brauto lol
I'll try this
IAG you still really want to laand weakspot hits
agri is great, prob not as good as the new vigilants, but still good
Honestly, I think for any class but psyker, crit chance is a must pick for perks
Because functionally, it isn't actually 5% crit chance because of crit strings.
Psyker doesn't need it because high innate crit chance and damage since they're overpowered 
Low key... Agri Shotty with Marksman's Focus feels beautiful
power sword stats dump?
cleave targets
was a good game to pass time 
Yeah, the helbore passive charge mod was the real move. I love this gun.
I've finally come full circle with las weapons. 😌
Is that where it charges when you aim down sight
I need to talk to an American commissar
🤨
Also
Well the person is definitely yellow for making light of that. Nothing a barrel grief can't solve.
I guess, man.
Im not trying to be racist im just trying to uphold the law
alright man
just like stop speaking
👍
I was just as confused as the next guy lmao 
How's a 70/70 power sword instead of dumping cleave targets or mobility?
feels like it could be nice
Cleave targets is also damage distribution vs multiple target.
You would want it to be higher.
oh actually?
no cleave targets is the dump
I thought cleave targets was the dump
That's Cleave DAMAGE
I mean it does affect damage distribution but I'd want to know the Sunder interaction
on god?
Yuh
It's just saying that your lights have 3.56 clv and your heavies have 7.9
Which doesn't matter because when powered both go to 10.9-11.7
I thought it would lead to less damage falloff per enemy hit does it literally just do nothing then or what
It's just cleave
Trash or keep
So-so
plasma gunner is really anoying to shoot with helbore V... It take 3 headshots to kill.
havoc i presume?
The head is carapace, stop hitting it in the head
Chest is flak like maulers.
Does Rending Strikes affect ranged fire too
i have a really hard time dealing with them using helbore
What's the most common situation that ends up being a point of failure? Do you happen to record your missions?
Yes
It's not to the point that I fail to deal with them. I find it's faster to just throw smoke and melee them. Everything else, gunners, reapers die really fast like 3 shots top.
The pain is real 
meanwhile it kills reapers like it's normal gunners. This gun is so weird.
It could be because I dont fully charge the shot 
Which helbore is prefered? The IV? Considering the buffed Crusher and Mauler health
i really like V
mk5 feels like "Infantry Lasguns but good"
Yeh
does cranial grounding for the power falcion not show up in the buff bar?
bug of the buff bar
I use the IV helbore because of higher crusher hp but it's really just which one you prefer to use cause some people just cant
I use the mkV because I tend to miss shots a lot, it's more forgiving. Faster charge and less amo per charge.
I tried the mk4. Missing shots hurt a lot...
mkv is really comfy for sniping special. Shoot fast, big mag, plenty of room for errors.
Mk4 had my back against the plasma menace when no one else had it, mk4 Helbore is hero in my eyes
can 2 shots body shot most special, dont even need to headshot.
In lore the lasguns can regen ammo when near a heat source, new blessing maybe?
Unless they add a Hotshot blessing where crits ignore armour hahaha
in lore they can also turn a battery mag into a grenade, i want taht as a new special
You can do that with plasma gun, turn yourself into big boom 
that's the Psyker experience, im thinking more veteran, just more Dahl and less Torgue than usual
tox bombers make me want to shout various profanities
Channel that energy by performing recreational man-hunting on them, it's therapeutic
I have a newfound unhealthy obsession with max movement speed and I feel bad for my teammates
I have a better question
There is no way that's the sound it makes when it fires
I use the pewpew mod, the original sound is not very good 
with the crazy amount of sprint speed you can stack zealot is absurd too
yeah true zealot's also a speedy boi
max speed + shroud + max mobility cknife is absurd
i deadass have too many joint problems 😭 id have to install an autoclicker if i wanted to use it
Thats why I dont ever use focus target
knife is a nice tool for psykers but atp id rather just use a deimos with absurd weakpoint stacking ngl
talking about RSI did you know you can qq cancel the light 1 of deimos
it's really funny and ow it hurts
i did and also no i am not going to onset myself for carpal tunnel even more than i already do playing this game on the basis that i do
Tac axe is psyker was the rage in psyker chat.
i do qq cancel l1 into h2 so i can keep getting l1 instead of l2 for it because i hate myself tho
i might tap in later it just feels oddly slow
i know they allegedly buffed the sprint speed but it doesn't feel that fast to me idk
also, praise be that veteran has gotten their imperium mandated asthma pump and can actually hold their own in damage in havoc consistently
gone are the days of existing as an ammo dispenser
it's not
aint that literally called "cleave damage"
I feel plasma works best on stealth vet now
Just synergies nicely with it pushing plasma over those one shot breakpoints especially if you pair it with focus target
Plus gives you the much needed breathing room that plasma needs at times
stealth vet was indirectly nerfed considerably last patch at least in auric+
better off going exe stance for those breakpoints
How
they nerfed tactical awareness, vets one cdr node which probably doubles your cooldown realistically now
p sure it's preference?
Felt fine to me on auric
if your good you can run anything in auric I guess
But current stealth is really good like huge buffs and stuns a lot of dudes
I actually feel it's a bit better than shout in terms of suppressing enemies as stun last longer than knockdown
but 50% more cooldown
The buffs are big and it saves you big time in some situations
the problem with stealth in dt is it dumps aggro on your teammates, its like the opposite of shout in how it helps your team
huh, never thought of it that away
Just be a team player and suppress the enemies around teammates
You use stealth to get that annoying asshole in the back, revive guys in sticky situations and do mission objectives when the game just won't stop
here is the build I was using which felt pretty good
A bit of a hybrid class but mainly focuses on getting those big damage numbers
.
25% reload speed exclusively when you're NOT pressed to reload quickly vs a stacking 5-25% crit chance is a pretty big diff in usecase
Running plasma which works well with tactical reload
because it doesnt reload, it just cools your weapon 25% faster?
Plasma has a long reload so its nice to speed it up where you can
If you run something else I would drop tactical reload
yeah ive always looked at that as a total dogshit node not even worth consideration
but ive also never run plasma gun
so
Nah 25% can make a huge difference
Yeah with plasma what matters most frankly is uptime.
Like if you intentionally reload at 1/2 bullets left every time
It's not like it needs that much help hitting breakpoints.
Certainly not with crits.
yeah im pretty ignorant about plasma n stuffs
Yeah plasma gets some really high Crit chance naturally with its best blessings
Having smoother, faster reloads for those moments when you have 8+ specials and etc. that all NEED to die makes all the difference.
noted, so this is 100% a plasma gun focused build with melee as a plan b
Yeah
The boosts from stealth help it hit those one shots
I tried plasma/power sword as a duo with weapon specialist and holy shit
i dont think ive ever played with anything in any game that felt MORE unintuitive/clunky
Plasma doesn't synergies as well as other weapons with executioner stance
i was using VoC tbf
VOC is just an all-rounder so anything works with it
but it definitely does not feel great to deal with the PS clunk then swap to Plasma rifle just to pot shot
I would much rather run Zarona/Bolt Pistol
i use exe stance with plasma just fine 🧍
plasma seems like with exe stance its either like really bad or DISGUSTING
depending on situation
You can use it but it doesn't utilise the ability as well as other weapons can
I just wish Fat Shark would give the Zarona a speedloader
so i can run it exclusively
but 6 shots in the cylinder with slow reload when there are 30 elites staring at you is n o t optimal
Like recon and other automatic weapons can become exceptional on executioner
recon + exe is sex
Bolt pistol is a thing...
its what i use 90% of the time
they have a different vibe/asthetic
I REALLY like revolvers. Always have.
It works well on a weapon specialist build of quick switching between melee and ranged
Zarona Revolver just feels so GOOD
On vet i kinda like bolt pistol with knife
grenade spammmmm all match baby
But I feel bolters have become a bit of arbites baby just because of how well the stagger buffs work with it
I'd love to run Zarona+DS for that duelist vibe
oh god i havent even thought of that
arbite gets so much stagger synergy
Yeah
they dont even need to use the gun to kill, do they? they can just stagger and go off with ASM
If an arbites isn't using one of their amazing class exclusives they are using a bolter
tbh the new boltgun is pretty hype, i prefer old boltgun on arbi nowadays tho
my tummy hurts
has anyone figured out what the new bistol does or is it coal because the bigger aoe feels whatever
Worse damage, more AoE.
So basically dead.
soooooooooooo basically I get to use the Zarona and NOT be shit on for throwing?
Because the alternative is dead?
tbh the main reason to use it on vet is buffing your nade aoe but it is a great wep for every other class
Arby's is the only one that can make something out of it
it's so boring i wish it was more interesting
Which is funny
So is that a YES on the Zarona? Or is the Zarona still kinda ass?
which one
the shotgun or revolver
Revolver
Zarona Revolver is the best weapon in the game (auric)
does zarona have two barrels? no? trash
I updated guide a bit to merge variants into single sections
it falls off in Havoc like anything relying on breakpoints
it would be a LOT better with Tac Reload yeah?
you just run it with weapon spec
you never need to reload it
thats the goal
you can keep it on 1 ammo for crucian roulette max
so if its empty, you just swap back to melee, swing swong, swap back it has ammo
like it's perfectly fine it's just not the only option anymore like 8 months ago
yearp
uhh
you can easily go thru games never needing to see the reload anim
is running it with Dueling Sword viable?
yeah i guess
gotta get that duelist asthetic
is it? lmao
so now that its not meta i can run it and be a hipster?
I've been running Zarona since I bought the game in 2024 lmao
the revolver
just took a big ass break
it got a tiny nerf to its strongest blessing that's abt it
Yeah, but having some drawback is normal.
ppl still run it on h40 it's just one of those "might not be the most optimal" things since h40 vet is plasma recon helboring meta due to breakpoint shenanigans
but don't only run h40 builds
shit is perfectly viable up to like h30 even
recon las my beloved
i run recon las/exe stance
Also, you can try the Agrip, it might usually need 1 more hit to kill vs Zarona, but it hits faster. It will grow on you.
i love just seeing a guy getting jumped by 400 enemies and holding the trigger down until the heatdeath of the universe
SHIT'S FUN I DONT WANNA HEAR IT
Im still trying to figure out whats viable outside of recon lasgun and plasma
it is but it's really funny that you're asking if dueling sword + revolver VoC is "still good"
i havent played the game in ages
helbore, vigilant autogun is busted rn too
im still used to the OLD gamble system where you had to sac weapons for their perks
that's kinda abt it for h40
Graia vigil?
IAG is a good alternative.
afaik they're all alright but ppl like the single shot 1
i think graia
I don't remember their new names
Graia is the 1 shot
I came back like
- Mastery
"The fuck is this?" - Arbite
"The fuck is that?" - Relic Blades
"FUCK ARE THOSE?"
they're still headhunters to me
The burst ones are better than the single shot, but that's my personal thing.
tbh build dependant scratches my ass
Also, laspistol is quite good even for high Havoc.
i like the single shot it goo but they all sound like shit so use pewpew to give them cool sfx
I came back just right after arbites release. Best class ever haha.
Does vet participate in dealing damage to carapce with vigilant autoguns?
Or is it nade and run
Unfortunately i'm late for the bleed explosion dog.
true but it is abysmal dogshit vs plasmas
god this is so cursed
unfortunately
seeing 500 on a profane is just WEIRD
Zarona Revolver blessings/perks?
at least it has Ghost tho
uhhh fuck let me remember
you normally ran unarmoured% for sniper bodyshot and dreg gunner headshots
the critical hit rending one and headhunter or roulette your choice
Hand-Cannon Point Blank
im comfy on my couch I can't check my perks rn but unarmoured was a thing for it
ill run Crucian/Hand Cannon probably
If you want to try agrip, Hand-Cannon and Crucian Roulette, it does quite a big DPS.
might try it out
do you use the mag size talent on it
okay good cus my build can't afford it XD
seems cute what perks cus idk agris bps at all
might run CA over DS with Zarona
just for SOME cleave
PS feels super duper yucky to me
you could just run combat knife
knoife
outside of super high Havoc it's very good
Run whatever perk you want
ill keep knife in mind but im literally too broke to max the mastery on it rn
