Usually it'll be later in the evening. Around like maybe passed midnight is when I'll see more listing for havocs but there's no way I'm gonna be able to join because I'm just too low on havoc ladder currently.
just give higher intensity, stagger immunity is annoying at the worst of times
I appreciate it but I usually don't queue up with people from public discords. Too many weirdos. Got some friends that can make the time though so we'll see how it goes.

It'll probably kinda suck at first since other friends are rusty.
@spark helm well stop trying to request for 40's then, ive never waited more than 2 minutes if i wasnt looking for 35-40
whats the reason for that
its as i said hes making a ton of excuses
lol
you a bitch fr.
I hate it when I have help from someone I know is atleast semi competent
I am talking to you though
so what DO i know
"i dont play havocs, I dont talk to people, i have anxiety, im impatient, i dont deal with peopel in this discord, but im going to share my opinion anyways"
Generally unpleasant pretty nasty people in my experience. Easy to swear off.
"oh btw [japanese shrug mote]"
That's why I said you a bitch. you just talking out your ass on my name.
ah so a few bad people = everyone is a jerk
no youre giving a ton of excuses on why you havent done havocs
Why do I need to not keep my peace when I just saiud I got friends setting up for havoc?
Why do you talk so much while being so dumb?
theres a way to play with people with barely any interaction just join off the fs code and its like party finder
while disregarding other people's informed opinions
this the thing about you people who "cant stand how mean other people are"
I'll run gauntlets with randoms in lobbies that's fine.
I striclty said public discords have led me to be uncomfortable.
and somehow other people are the problem
again "muh anxiety, everyone is bad but me"
lmao
Don't talk wild on me and not know me and disregard everything I say.
You a bitch.
end of story
lol
pfft
doink
the fuck did i walk in on
so you still a bitch but kind of funny.
well the sooner you get over your anxiety, the better a person youll be
wow nerf
god forbid you cope and compromise with your fellow refjects
I like shroudfield a lot more than other zealot ults atm
if people suck or have shortcomings i consider it part of the larp
I don't need to cope with people on some weird internet shit being actually terrible in a voice chat over nothing that actually matters. The fuck is you talkin about dude?
Shut the fuck up talkin on situations you don't experience and don't know. So corny
my friend runs shroudfield its good but still puts the aggro on everyone else bad when no ogryn 😭
Mfkers are actually hostile out here the moment they get comfortable with saying wild shit because they have a keyboard to fall back on. Of course I'm not going to be inviting that in when it happens so consistently to me lmao what?
I think the shroudfield DR node actually rly good
who said you even had to voice chat lol, all someone did was say they could play the gamemode you said you wanted to do and we get this disertation on Yappenology
Some people actually have boundaries. Crazy shit.
I'm referring to the weirdo shit from public discord stuffs specifically heare.
thats pretty good, is it ran with the martydom?
or crit
the public on the internet has a bunch of people
If I change my mind on that, I change my mind on it. I already got people I just said htat I'm going to try havocs with you'll be fine.
a few cringelords and sexual deviants does not the whole body make
Okay? So what? I'm still gonna keep my peace where I can because I really don't owe it to someone else to politely just say that I don't want to run havocs with em. huh?
inexorable on havoc seems not that good because you just lose all your stacks on a hit
no it's rly good
pretty easy to maintain 10~15+ stacks
wot
It might be too hard to understand, but a boundary doesn't have to be a personal slight, nor some indication of character flaw.
The dude asked and I politely declined on top of already saying I'm covered on folk making an attempt with me so what really is the problem here?
ill take your word for it zealot is my least played class
how you finna play zealot less than [the liability]
theyre about the same i mainly play organ and arb
good god
heya i havent really played since the big rework update, does veteran feel any different now?
Left tree in a hard Renaissance currently. Builds that were already good got noticeable quality of life changes. It's easier to juice up what you got to bring up less used options more as well.
much worse
vet is pretty terrible now
im hearing 2 different answers ;-;
they're lying to you
gaslighting even
I would never do that to you
you can trust me
oh god
You can also, alternatively, ignore us both and start experimenting on your own.
and arb
Yeah
But yeah, veteran got better with more options going up. Unsure what difficulty you play on but veteran doing pretty nice.
shout and infil vet got nerfed, exe stance got buffed
melee vet got buffed though and mmf
Marksman's Focus is far easier to manage as well.
Can just use melee to refresh stacks. No crab walk needed.
MMF has .5 second stamina regen delay pathing
which is pretty huge for push attack spam weapons
two words
Tax
Break
3 more words
idk what that means but im scared
2 for 1
i just remember not liking how theres a "1 build or nothing" mentality with each class
Costs way less to spread your talents.
Basically they did what they did for ogryn
"less stupid shit where you eat points just to move from left to right"
and "bundling talents no one took to sweeten the deal"
like grenade regen comes with lucky 2x grenade
no more 5% stamina just to get to my more grenade spam

regen is a dif node
i feel good. emperor provide emperor protect
oh i was being very unspecific
my b
oh this is a rework oh my
🙂
right scavenger is more accessible for different builds
yes, but also forced to take 25% ammo to get infinite ammo (shock trooper)
this is stupid of course, because scavenger is not something you should be foregoing, given the opportunity
good place to gander at the dif trees
i dont mind
Exestance now has merged suppression immunity and guaranteed toughness generation throughout the duration. Some core talents of the past are placed further up and easier to get access to. Things like longshot feel much better so you can lean into your shooter builds a lot more reliably.
like FS just make ait a passive, literally no one is going to take anything else!
the class has merged suppression immunity not exe stance
Ah misspoke
🤝
Thought it was off exestance
But yeah veteran eating much better. More variety, more flexibility, more quality of life checkboxes. It's great. Not perfect (nothing is), but a very strong rework ftmp
and of course one of the stamina regen delay nodes got removed and the value added passive to vet
which is quite huge
because vet still has below average stamina regen relay for some reason
in spite of guardsmen having superb training
Rather, it just always seemed so specific for it to be there.
i mean not really
he's just old
ok maybe psyker has a noticeably less than average stamina
ogryn has 1s, zealot also has 0.75s, psyker and arb have 0.5s
but still
yeah but ogryn has like 10 base bars
and on a class whose MO is spam LMB
yeah but vet isnt really below average when it comes to stamina delay
so you never notice it
arb being .5 still boggles my mind
well arb are borderline superhuman anyways
who gives a fuck about the lore
something about the schola progenium
its a game we're yapping about
Big shrug idk. I didn't know there were stamina recovery differences at base value for classes. Never paid enough attention to that angle of the game. Usually i just give myself the stamina if I want it through a curio or two and call it a day.
It’s pretty noticeable if you sprint and have to start fighting
Or PA or block a lot
another thing is prolonged combat is designed around pushblock attacking
It’s the main reason why old vet stam econ was so dogshit
PS enjoyers
and that means vet cant do it for as prolonged times as arbes or zealot
and then ofc ogryn ignores this mechanic because bully club
zealot has the same delay
yeah but they get so much TGH off of dodge and have so much DR
I kind of just have ran a lot of right tree and it's not entirely uncommon for it to play into stamina interactions. And would be a weirdo with x2 max stamina before I embraced x2/×3 toughness.
dodge for 30% stamina is pretty yuge
I like duck and dive so
Sometimes, I just don't have to feel it.
I'd slot it in on keystoneless builds for vet often
psyker
I ignore reviews most of the time.
So do I, I just went to check specs for my friend who wants to get into it.
Gamer™ takes are useless and often the source of bland, narrow criticism.
Wouldn't know what people are complaining about. Something something plasma gunners or whatever.
game bad
Capital G gamers are truly oppressed
Oppressed by deodorant maybe.
And principled purposeful illiteracy lol
I would like to ask about (somehow missing) brunt's armory.
Can i get other versions of guns other than the lightest variants?
I've been try to roll for a good HB for a while
And all i got is the light variants
They're part of your marks tab and gained by weapon masteries. It's possible to get other marks in the shop but not the armory rolls.
go to the weapon in your inventory and click on it, top right will have "marks"
^
Ahhh
can change between the marks there
I see
Mhm. It came with the unlocked and unloaded patch
Didn't know what that was, i thought it was cosmetic thingy
Yeah that's understandable.
So i can just take my current HB and instantly change it to heavy and back to light?
I dont know what a HB is
Ahhh
Helbore
💀
The krieg lasguns
but yes
And by their rampant bigotry losing them women
(wdym most women don't want to be sex slaves?)
God i remember grinding out fucking marks. >_>
Pain the ass thankfully they changed that crap
Eugh.
Im steadily getting more and more dockets, slowly im maxxing on my HB mastery, then I'll go back to Ilas or Reccy
Oh nah see that's just consequences of being wilfully shitty :y
Just take your time and build stuff up. There's tricks like using your pockets for greens to sacrifice n all that too
you still need mastery levels to use other marks lol
It'll go by faster the less you think about it.
Yeah but that's offset by how quickly you get those levels. At least in my mind
Idk how this system feels for people with nothing building up an arsenal.
ILAS FOR THE MECHANICUS GRANNY, PLASTEEL FOR HER PLASTEEL CHAIR
my brother came back recently and proceeded to stop playing
When I came back I think I had like
the resources in DT still suck dogass for people that don't have any
I can see that one for sure.
most people care about content, the update only gave 1 new enemy (tough, poorly telegraphed, buggy) and 1 new mortis map (who cares about mortis)
i doubt the vast majority care that the trees got better
That's the rub with any late game crafting loop but I definitely got to experience the broke boy mines for a week or so while grinding remainder masteries.
wow people suck
also no nerfs to the meta weapons
new vet weapon is pretty average and not a gun like some hoped
But so much of it was easy because I think the game calculated max masteries for most of my weapons. Anything I wasn't using or barely touched took up the rest of the time.
Privileged start tbh
I still don't understand why anyone wants DS and Knife to be nerfed when they are only amazing because they can deal with carapace
countless reasons to be dissatisfied
the issue is clearly in carapace
Like
do you want everyone to suck against carapace
or do you want a buff for devil's claw heavy sword whatever
It reeks of "I love the way this sucks"
DS deals with every single enemy in the game and is also a very safe and mobile weapon
yea it was just related to how many blessings you had unlocked in the previous thing
and it's not the only weapon that's op
Power Sword deals with every enemy in the game, while also cleaving through the entire horde

I never see Power Sword being used
Mhm. I got lucky for maybe four families of weapons for most classes between ranged and melee already good to go.
A lot of people hate how it feels
self report
Ogryn had the least iirc.
they should just remove everything with carapace and replace them with storm vermin, i mean it works in their other game are they stupid?
I don't play Havoc man
I know
I have like 100 hours
I wouldn't mind a nerf on DS, Knife, whatever else, what I do mind is that everyone wants them removed or nerfed into being dogshit
that's my problem
Oh yeah. P.sword been one of the biggest players in this game for as long as i can remember.
the game obviously has a power creep issue because Fatshark are scared shitless of the chinese review bombers who hate nerfs
yeah its always been good it just feels dogshit till you get used to it
the gameplay suffers because they can't nerf anything properly
Chinese people have Darktide?
Ds catching a nerf, as much as I actually like that weapon, was definitely warranted. It was always a strong weapon but limited with who could use it. When that got opened up, classes that could make it go even crazier (zealot especially) just totally trivialized things.
Eventually that'll get real stale for a live service game
I'd expect not due to all the gore and skulls
and they instead release a patch that makes 3\5 classes like 50% stronger lule
in reality though, it was barely a nerf lol
bros, what gun do you recommend for mmf? I tried a couple but I don't think I'm going about it right
I genuinely do not think swapping poke to parry was a nerf, just raised the skill floor a little, but parry is genuinely such a cracked special ability on a melee
Hellbore, vigiliant autoguns
Vigil IAG helbore are common picks
plasma if you're feeling extra ammo hungry
I haven't played with that weapon since this update because I just wanted to explore other things again but I noticed it still can do the basics of what it was already meant so eh such is the rub.
infantry las
still does everything it did before but its special is goated
incredible
I did find it funny being in a match eith someone complaining about the ds nerfs while a whole ass zealot was still poking heads
the parry fucks hard
I was surprised they actually allowed for the parry. I didn't think they had the stones.
They shut me right the fuck up
its janky, what was wrong with the brettonian longsword type parry
Saw some footage the other day and nodded my head
Wait BLS had a parry?

At no point did I ever use that function. Has it always been a thing?
there are no weapons with the DT parry
Well, it wasn't a special function with rapier but you know what I mean.
what's BLS
rapier is unique in that you can use special without breaking block (and that it has a special in the first place)
Bretonnian Longsword. Vermintide 2 weapon for the Grail Knight.
Oooh
right its a seamless integration
Yeah the little gun
you just ready a heavy attack, block a stray hit, and return with a big phat brettonian bonk
He mains Relic Blade and is using his Vermintide muscle memory
constantly
He still calls Trappers Hookrats
it's so cute
It was a fun class when I finally got around to it. I like big doink damage builds that turn elites and bosses to dust
@steep flower group calling ragers plague rats
and the novel concept of no ranged weapons
Oh no
The fucking plague rats use to give me so much grief when I was new to that game.
I kept thinking i had to parry every single swing in their combo so I'd actually mess up the parry needed and die
monkes are scary and much more threatening than berserkers in dt
they teach the importance of blocking
Yeah the little bastards actually hurt in a game that's just meaner about punishing your failed skill checks.
Cataclysm slave rat from the back?
The last time I played was probably last year. If I'm down to delete enough things I'd like to see what that versus mode has going on now.
Yeah I love that shit
L4d2 versus was too much fun for me to learn so I sad when the released testing for vt2 vs didn't work for me.
Imagine DT versus
World #1 Scab Trapper Found Murdered
Exactly.
he would kite everyone and backpedal trap people
somehow Neo dodge bullets
And then solo 1v4
What about Hoonters
Apprentices, merely second to their masters, the jockey.
My friends made a joke years ago when we were doing realism expert marathons. Jockeys straight up became the most dangerous thing
Jockey "The Assassin". Mobile little bastard that'll hop off a wall and scratch someone's neck open then kidnap someone else
The real danger in vs were cracked spitters.
Jockey ledgers
Only 2nd to Chargers
I just realised
Imagine if in DT Versus Mutants could CHOOSE where to throw you
Off the cliff you go...
Mutants would literally yeet every player off the map
That's for the last guy
Off the cliff is too easy.
Send him to the trapper
Survivor players need to be reminded of their namesake.
It's not enough to kill them
You gotta drag it out. Really break em down yk?
Gotta start using hunter crouches as psych warfare before roaming to someone else.
The obvious death pits are too easy. They're thinking about it. Gotta force them out with pressure then bring them to death pits. Now that's where the real game starts. The mental
Super common.
Yea wtf was that Redditor saying
"Why does nobody use Field Improvisation"
like I use it, 24/7
¯_(ツ)_/¯
becuase of Serrated Blade
I love it.
Take one or the other
Not both
You don’t need to take field
Improv to take serrated blade btw
It seems more cost effective tho
It's down to what you're about with your build. I personally don't care about bleed anymore for veteran but field improvisation is extremely nice. Free nades for you means more problems for mobs.
I love the bleed tho
wdym by shittiest warlock
I mean I could take Trench Fighter Drill instead?
I take Iron Will on every build
ALWAYS TAKE IT
Yeah that validates me, I trust you immensely
Destiny 2 reference. Warlocks have an ability where they throw down a circld "well" to get health. Some special armors allow for the well to have more unique interactions. There's also a super that's just plainly a superior well that still benefits from other passive interactions.
Oh, I played D2 for like 2 min
Yeah np
and played Hunter and the tank class
outside of knife, tac axe (if u take trench fighter for it) and sunder power sword
this is basically the default path down
because back then I thought my rogue main ass would main the titan
only take field improv if you like your teammates
Why outside of knife? I use knife
for those 3 cases it's better to just take serrated blade and go down to bottom half of tree
I take serrated blade no matter my weapon tbh
even if I use something like a combat axe for some reason
I take my serrated blade
serrated is not "good"
Knife, tac axe and sunder power actually validate the use of serrated
That's fair, I don't plan to play Havoc
I main Knife as of now anyway
And I just like bleeding people
Turns a "tax" node into a genuinely powerful one
Also put confirmed kill on every build
only now realised how good it is
swapped out Skirmisher for it
on my VoC build

Wait what
I had Skirmisher yeah, Idk why
Why skirmisher
it's just alr
Is skirmisher that good?
Because skirmisher is possibly one of vet's strongest nodes
no
hes gonna try gaslight you into believing otherwise
I didn't even get to finish typing it

they're getting faster
Gaslighters all
I only had it on like 2 builds tbh
because 3 of them are Exe Stance builds
which is funny
becuase I never use Exe Stance
I should delete one of the Exe Stance builds
I guess you're right
(I am actually a dragon though)
Dragon spotted
opinion validated
I have free will
yeah show the class
For the one that you switched skirmisher out for
toy
Just know I am too lazy to remake the build
and the build works fine for me
so I probably won't listen to your suggestions
who said we were gonna make any
Arguably I should have taken WS
because I like it more
but I decided for some reason I only will use WS if I am running the funny Infiltrate build
Tbh
depends
50% up from 25% makes all the difference for non-ExeStance
I actually really like Infiltrate
swap speed that is
It was originally my first Vet build
I dont think ive played more than 1 match with infiltrate
Its okay. But that red node on the bottom unfortunately isn't as good as it used to be. 😔
yeah gooder to switch to other red node
depends what the goal is too
What CQK?
Ye
yeah i dont see that being used over "30% stamina on dodge"
So with a boltgun
Yes.
yes
You can instantly pull it out
its always done that yet
Why can't I read
it used to reload on active
I always would pull out my boltgun then activate it
and thats the real kicker
That's not good either tbh
instead of just activating it
5s internal cooldown on that
It has an internal cooldown
meh ive found use... delivering a capsule or some shit
im still choosing it over close damage, as that has never helped me reach breakpoints that i know of
holy shit yeah you can cancel the time to pull out the boltgun
i dont know if you know this
but there was a time when 4x vet was the way to clear the stupid fog missions
we had the vermintide style perks
and the only thing with accceptable dps and good unit cohesion was 4x bolters because well
you would just whip out the bolter ,blam blam
press F
full ammo again
though counterfire was always the better choice instead of reload instantly except for bolter
i feel like reload on ES was built in to ES wasnt it?
really miss full reload on ability
no
does Chink in their Armor apply to melee as well, or just ranged?

Context 😈
yesn't
damnb......
Wait does that talent even exist anymore?
I thought they removed it
it still exists
Unfortunate name and all, yes lmao
Oh for MF
ye
Never used it so I don't care
Tunnel vision is by far the best node
yeah
And too many other points for other nodes
I've seen people make ILAS Work by taking it with rending strikes
Because one of the weaknesses of ILAS is armor pen
yeah lol
i do want to give ILAS another go, but man, its so hard to whip it out nowadahs
I remember in beta/launch where the game was slower you would like pop ult and slowly pick off shooter with it
Maybe this could work?
lets put it this way
if you combine headshots with shredder i see it being quite useful since bleed is amped by rending i think
That looks good
With the MF on the rending instead
but i dont see myself actively swinging a melee weapon and getting headshots and NOT going WS
because that sounds incredibly tedious
Yeah it was more of like, a curious question lol
U can all play the objectively correct lasgun build tho 😈
I run this build LOL
yeah but the counter qeustion is whther you should
My friend were laughing so hard when I hit ES and everything meltrd
ES?
Executioner stance
Idk about melted, but you do shoot for a long time
The strength of the build is actually the melee 💀
Like we had rooms of ragers and stuff and I kept shooting infinitely and they dropped
Yeah LOL
Skirmisher exploit weakness is always top tier
You get to use recon, but also use the best Vet weapon in the game without sacrificing damage for both
Exactly
It feels so good to play lmao
Walk into room, hit ult, sweep all the shooters and specials, pull out ps and slide around decapitating crushers
I still think this is still better in most game mode:
Melee I'm still testing, probably into Armor DS is better
But the idea is that Vraks turns into a monster with MF
Yeah I tried that one out!
I did like it
Oh I see you changed the grenade to Krak, that's what I ended up doing when I ran it lol
The title is A+++
shocktrooper didnt used to have an internal cooldown
once again FS thought it was too fun and did something about it
What stat do I dump for Infantry lasguns? Mobility?
I dislike Marksman Focus, because it no longer has the "you get stacks passively by crouch-walking/standing still" node, meaning aiming is the only way to get stacks...
(yes, I know its a skill issue)
I always take the Tag keystone, but I guess I could try Weapons Specialist for the first time now that the route to it has actually good and/or necessary nodes...?
The solution to your skill issue is to treat the game like it's a Point & Click adventure.
aiming for heads with gun consistently is too hard for me, especially if the gun has any recoil...
Then use Executioner Stance.
And if you want to get stupid with it:
Get a MkIV then slap the Surgical & Deadly Accurate blessings on it with the Critical Hit & Weakspot perks.
consider dumping the ilas gun
yes
The stacks decay one at a time now with no movement penalty and melee weakspot kills will refresh the current stack you're at
i.e. its very easy to keep at max stacks throughout the game
Its not that bad anymore
Well at least on vet.
But that's more because vet itself just has so much free damage to take advantage of that it also acts as a buffer for all the weapons that weren't as viable before the update
Yeee
its the shockmine effect
Also axe gremlin instead of knife gremlin?!?!
i have thingy that ignores half the problems so i can deal with the other problems
I love the tacaxe
serrated blade has fun raw damage options for dagger
Melee vet build, but with focus target and onslaught goes absolutely bonkers in havoc
The heavy attack to push attack loop feels so good, I don't know how to explain it
but tacax is just good on... all the classes that can use it?
It's so smooth
It's the one weapon I genuinely don't recommend using weapon specialist on
That's what I used for an h40 I did the other day
You can choose whatever ranged weapon u want though
But yeah, fast attacks. FT increasing damage on target and basically granting 8% damage at all times also synergizes very well with bromentum since you want to make sure you can get a lot of weak spot one shots
Hell yeah, thank you sir
I'll have fun with this
i like the bleed
Is the columnus any good as an IAG nowadays? since most of the time people run the other one
best budget melee
@sullen scarab skill issue. But you can pay me to aim with that thing
One night I was hella tired and eyes were fatigued
And I was in a dark stage in game, and the bright white muzzle flash just put my ass out for the night
Fuck the autogun
Not great still
Vraks or Agri for IAG
Are still the best options
proud of my lil guy, the taxe
much improved without just overshooting the mark and turning into the new bullshit FotM
might be the next ds if ds gets the nerf
nah it doesn't do nearly as good as DS into carapace & unyielding
all class, decent hordeclear and mobillity, ok against armor, it'll be the next mobillity option once ds is a little worse against armor. i mean it was used to solo h40
nah it'll just be knife lol
What do you run on the Agripinna IAG nowadays? Flak/Maniac and Dumdum/Deathspitter?
since I'm guessing you don't need to run Crit on it like the other ones
Yeah that works
Flak maniac unyielding
Some combo of those
Though I’d recommend always taking flak
I like it personally.
It isn't necessarily the best in numbers but it's controllable and there's some value to the damage drop off not being as steep as vraks
Really easy to hit heads with.
I'll try it out, it's always been my favorite for sound effects lmao
it's good
I mean i did a havoc 40 with it so it's usable enough for that.
that's true LOL
it's basically "what if the vraks mk5 infantry autogun was actually balanced"
ya
Yes. Because crit stringing.
oh yeah quick question on tacaxe, unarmored/flak is for hitting breakpoints right
on bruisers?
just unarmored
u don't have to run flak on it
I run carapace
Ye
i knew you told me unarmored last time
does the Agripinna MKI rely on crit stringing, or is it just the vraks and columnus?
just the latter
I hate it. Too Vraks pilled. Everytime I have to hold the trigger for a bit longer than I’d expect because I’m using a Columnus, not a Vraks 
just vraks & columnus
oh ok LOL
agripinaa mk1 doesn't rly need crit
i understand
2-string is meh
my brain is expanding
I'm guessing you put UNyielding on the tacaxe because you have onslaught for carapace
@hybrid plover do u think melee atk reach is important in guide
What’s the range difference between say relic and knife?
@hollow ibex Quite substantial.
large?
@tall torrent does plasma penetrate through crushers?
Well yeah, just wondering if you have exact distances
To this day I still have no idea what blessings to actually put on a Mk1
And if a lot of weapons have the same range
Dum dum deathspitter
Or DD Sustained Fire
no
cannot cleave through carapace
I swear it could
thats what I thought from gameplay
bulwark shields stop it too pretty sure but still do some damage
yes
it can dmg bulwark on hitting shield
but won't penetrate bulwark if it hits shield
So you're telling me
Plasma can pen like 3 feet of solid concrete
But not a crusher
meat confirmed stronger than concrete
carapace blocks cleave
terrain penetration is a separate stat from cleave
is ilevel 410 curio with +17% toughness actually 17% toughness?

What to dump on autopistol?
Honestly, yes.
Especially since some people don't realize how long the reach is on some attacks
Like mk6 knife push atk
Believe it or not
I dont
Because bring it down
I'd rather have the tac axe be more consistent for horde clear since I already have a damage buff to unyielding on top of focus target also debuffing them
Mobility
How much damage does a sniper do in auric?
122.5 health
1225 toughness
Easily tankable 
If you really want. I'd imagine carapace working out if only because you hate crushers
I was running flak because of 21st moebian modifier
Use the chainaxe instead for no reason at all
if only chain axe good
Unfortunately it seems rather complicated
I had a sneaking suspicion it would be.
Especially given all of the factors around melee reach down to even something like latency affecting it.
I mean if it's not exactly a reasonable metric to measure, 🤷♀️
It is what it is.
People just gotta figure some things out on their own.
Yeah I mean ranges is mostly just a vibe thing imo
Really it's just more for those cases where the animation really deceives you on how much the reach of that attack actually is
Like again mk6 knife push attack actually having some considerable reach
More than you'd think at first glance.
Eviscerator vanguard lights having... surprisingly short reach
Depends on ur keystone
I run manstopper + flechette on mine for ws
Full bore and No Respite can work but it's not nearly as consistent on accatran.
Fire Frenzy + Deathspitter and
Scattershot + Flechette also work
If you're not using ws, which honestly, accatran doesn't feel that good on other keystones
Oh, and scattershot and manstopper if you really just want it as a horde clearer without ws
Was wondering if I should run unarmored/Carapace or unarmored/unyielding honestly
I would say unarmored/carapace only because serrated is there.
Bleed does considerable damage to unyielding
ahhhh ok
i had no idea
excellent
and yeah I mostly run aurics so its crusher spam that's super annoying lol
Ye. Bleed is weird. It hurts maniacs and unyielding enemies real hard
But ironically
Just maniac
doesn't it help stack brittleness from onslaught as well?
Im p.sure it also does pretty reasonable damage to unyielding too with onslaught in the mix
yeah
I mean, I wasn't exactly wrong.
Just that maniacs is the only enemy that bleed damages in full.
is adm average damage per minute?
Armor damage modifier
ahhh ok
How do you even get 31 burn stacks 
ADMs are the reason why carapace for example is super tanky
That's a got damn power sword thougg
Does the bleed stack brittleness from onslaught onto carapace units?
Of course the bleed ain't doing much when the sword itself is just going to nuke it out of existence.
LOL
I can do it with a rashad and it'll be like 5% of total
bleed + brittle for monster dps is just MASSIVELY overrated by people who pretend to understand game mechanics
and by those that don't understand what weapons are actually good vs which enemies
Yeah. But those are the slow hard hitters.
Tac axe innately isn't the best against unyielding so the bleed does at least help as a second channel of damage
That and focus target increasing all damage actually does result in decent perfomance.
does putting +unyielding on the tacaxe help with the bosses to a noticeable degree, or nah
yes but like
it's not gonna be a top performer by any stretch
Honestly. When I used it, while it helps
It's no deal breaker.
ur crit-weakspot overhead heavy atk does less than half of a non-crit weakspot hit from power sword
we live in a society

You're better off putting that perk to something you know is going to increase your performance across the board
just do carapace tbh
I think with this patch, carapace and flak's value went up as perks
Whether it be cara to deal with crushers or flak to deal with more mixed hordes
basically every weapon that wanted unarmored before the patch sorta still want unarmored
Yeah, I'll go with Carapace haha
Thanks guys, helped a ton
I'll just shoot the bosses
also @hybrid plover did u see this I posted earlier
https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/15947931621725654746/605C4AF36B366BA3FC7E3F20D6820D39FF1C21BC/
U don't even need to
Holy shit.
I didn't know shroudfield could actually make relic do that now.
Holy shit
Hmm.
the tail clipping thru the wall threw me off so hard i missed the onemag
it's a hybrid frontliner
Yeah I think I need to try that.
Honestly.
It's not shroudfield itself i find much issue with
It's Mastercrafted that gives me conniptions
mastercrafted is good but I sorta prefer the DR path
and tbh shroudfield is just for that 1 big alpha strike
Even with the cool down nerf, that lower threat is so easy to spam and misuse and cause problems.
flak, carapace, cranial for relic blade
I run leakage as 2nd blessing
Which blade is that one?
mk10, the better one
The good one
Ok I figured lol
I really wish the other one's uppercut had hit box prioritization
can do wrath but it's kinda boring
It would be so much better.
and the issue is that relic blade just meh vs carapace mixed horde cuz no perfect strike or sunder
if it had either it'd be so good
also that DR node gives 50% toughness whenever u ult
And yet
Infiltrate
30% TDR for 5 seconds
On a 45 second cooldown
Make it make sense Fatshark!!!
I mean I guess it also fully replenishes toughness but like, in regard to everything else Shroudfield does
also shroudfield allows u to backstab with horizontal energized sweep and it kills like 3 ragers in 1 hit lol
I'm surprised they didn't just bake that into Infiltrate too at this point.
I used to do this with Evi way back when I first started playing consistently lol
When I crutched way hard on stealth zealot
That was also when you could just instantly get your ult back with pious
also u do need flak + a bunch of dmg buffs to make captain 1 shot possible on relic blade if not going martyr
but martyr feels like ass compared to IJ
relic shroud is not getting any monster 1 taps tho
I like martyr with chorus specifically
u do at best like 1/2 their health bar
which is still pretty good
but it's not gonna win any awards
It's serviceable. Usually there's three others attacking the monster so it'll just make the job easier.
Usually.
Not huffing copium whatsoever
I'm glad that's the one enemy they decided not to up the health for with the shield gating
Typical Marty win
Captains would be so obnoxious to fight
unfortunately still mogged by IJ
if martyr gave strength instead of dmg it'd be so much better
would help with stagger and cleave
the new zealot with the right keystone actually has some good consistent passive toughness regen
What are the buffs that IJ has over Marty again
really tempted to try it
Besides dodge
+20%Tdmg
+20%Tatk speed
+10% dodge distance
+10% dodge speed
+8% max toughness/s
martyr is
+50%Mdmg
+30%Matk speed
u do get more TDR but u will have less toughness so it's not that diff in the end in terms of effective toughness
and the toughness gain modifier is nice but not as good as passive toughness gain
that 30%dmg diff is also smaller than u think because it adds onto other dmg bonuses
Better dodge is also just a bit less valuable on zealot
nah it matters a lot
When you have an I win button that’s constantly up
it's the same dodge buff like vet's WS
except it works all the time instead of only from weapon swaps
Realistically you’re also not going to be on max stacks
15+ is ez
I average 15-16
still good enough
So factoring that in too
the important stuff is dodge speed
Don’t really think IJ is a clear winner
makes all the difference
I can see it being better in havoc
it wins from having more versatile buffs + lower point cost
Where survivability is important
keystone themselves they're equal cost (keystone + 3 subnodes)
but martyr requires extra spec
But otherwise nah
Hey @tall torrent , how bad would be for a zealot to branch into grievous wounds for a Thammer so it has the stagger to can actually interrupt rager's combos with it's sweeping heavy attacks? Aside from the stamina aura I mean.
Well
Point cost will be bad
But also, even when it can stagger, it’s not gonna kill them fast cuz the weapon’s maniac damage is ass
Yeah, but at least you are alive!...maybe
(Gosh darnit MorbidlyobeseShrimp, buff that damned thing!)
Ty for the answer mate
Is solo play fixed
Recommended Blessings for Plasma gun?
Gets hot
Rising heat
The sole fact that Marty requires you to be low health to take advantage of it is kinda what puts IJ ahead in most cases imho
I can see an argument for Martyrdom synergizing well with chorus particularly but for anything else, I'd rather do IJ because the extra survivability and lack of need to fight on the edge does work in its favor for the other abilities
Chorus is an exception because of golden toughness.
wow the new cosmetic 10/10
not new
pffsh if I needed health I wouldn't be a psyker main
give me that attack speed I'm going combat axing
eswpecially now that marty also gives toughness replenishment ontop of the stupid damage, TDR, and attack speed
who needs actual HP when you can have so much effective HP instead?
Me watching the Marty player go down five fucking times in the first half of the map because they keep taking chip damage
lmaooo
Well
In the past
But not too much in the past
9 wasn't worth running because you could just go 7 and have a better time
oh yeah the fast firing one
That's 2b
i hate how they changed the names lol
yeah
I remember previously the "medium" one was best
out of the slower ones
since the slowest one was too slow
I guess I'll have to try out the IIb then lol
Jokes aside Marty is super forgiving on auric, idk about havoc though
The consequences of balancing around Havoc have been catastrophic
Havoc is super unforgiving for Martyrdom because taking chip damage is significantly easier.
And that's the thing that kills Martyrdom
But Auric?
I mean. Anything works on Auric.
I need to be better at martyrdom, my ass always gets some random chip damage lmao
Just keep sharpening your fundamentals, I'd say.
Martyrdom works in havoc, but you need to play clean
Can't just mush your face into blobs of crushers
Have tangible goals for your missions and tighten those up over time as you can.
yeah I just need to get better at the fundamentals, just not used to having like 25 hp lmao
I like how even with the Exe buffs, you usually just bring VoC + Kraks to havoc anyway
as vet
I mean anyone with eyeballs and a brain knew that the havoc meta wasn't going to shift very much
I think exe is better than voc especially with the changes to enemy hp
Start with something like running missions and practicing taking as few hits as possible from hordes. Some hits are negligible and it's whatever but what I'd say to go for with that mindset for example is "how do I proactively give up health to gain benefits more deliberately as opposed to just getting hit."
Your average Rotten Armor match is 40-60 minutes of kiting backwards as you chuck kraks at the crushers
Exe actually is really good now, too, yeah
It's really just Rotten Armor and Purple that are a problem
contaminated stimms is my opp, rotten armor and purple get melted by good psykers
stimms can be absolutely nasty
If you get unlucky and have to kille 3-4 blue ragers on you
if your immobile you literally just get shredded by them and you cant do anything
Blue Bulwarks suuuck too
apparently they got more hp than a lieutenant
skirmisher is pretty much mandatory now, once you get used to it, it pretty much 4 stacks all the time. 
Finally vet getting the arbites treatment 
Yeah skirmisher is super easy to keep active with the new changes
man vt2 after darktide is something
