namely, the ranges you described of 20ish

#

but seriously who in fatshark thought the stuff would be fun

spark helm
#

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.

signal garden
#

just give higher intensity, stagger immunity is annoying at the worst of times

spark helm
#

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.

midnight wyvern
spark helm
#

It'll probably kinda suck at first since other friends are rusty.

signal garden
#

@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

signal garden
midnight wyvern
#

lol

spark helm
#

you a bitch fr.

midnight wyvern
#

I hate it when I have help from someone I know is atleast semi competent

spark helm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

lol

midnight wyvern
#

fuck that must be awful

#

I sorry I did that to you

spark helm
#

I wasn't talking to you

#

Was talking to dude that doesn't know me talking nonsense.

midnight wyvern
#

I am talking to you though

signal garden
#

so what DO i know

signal garden
#

"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"

spark helm
signal garden
#

"oh btw [japanese shrug mote]"

spark helm
signal garden
#

ah so a few bad people = everyone is a jerk

#

no youre giving a ton of excuses on why you havent done havocs

spark helm
#

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?

sharp epoch
signal garden
#

while disregarding other people's informed opinions

#

this the thing about you people who "cant stand how mean other people are"

spark helm
signal garden
#

youre being a jerk

#

and youre insulting me

spark helm
#

I striclty said public discords have led me to be uncomfortable.

signal garden
#

and somehow other people are the problem

#

again "muh anxiety, everyone is bad but me"

#

lmao

spark helm
#

You a bitch.

#

end of story

#

lol

signal garden

takes one to know one

havoc dodger!

pfft

Literally some no u shit

that was gret.

turbid ibex

the fuck did i walk in on

spark helm
#

so you still a bitch but kind of funny.

signal garden
#

well the sooner you get over your anxiety, the better a person youll be

midnight wyvern

that FOV makes it look like you go flying

god forbid you cope and compromise with your fellow refjects

if people suck or have shortcomings i consider it part of the larp

Shut the fuck up talkin on situations you don't experience and don't know. So corny

sharp epoch

#

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?

tall torrent
midnight wyvern
#

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

spark helm
#

Some people actually have boundaries. Crazy shit.

tall torrent
#

cuz it's like a 10~13s CD ult

#

and the DR lasts 8s

#

it has really good ultime

spark helm
sharp epoch
#

thats pretty good, is it ran with the martydom?

sharp epoch
#

or crit

signal garden
#

the public on the internet has a bunch of people

spark helm
#

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.

flak + carapace on relic blade

#

I run cranial + leakage on it

spark helm
#

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?

sharp epoch
tall torrent
#

pretty easy to maintain 10~15+ stacks

spark helm
#

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?

sharp epoch
signal garden
#

how you finna play zealot less than [the liability]

sharp epoch
#

theyre about the same i mainly play organ and arb

signal garden
#

good god

icy gulch
#

heya i havent really played since the big rework update, does veteran feel any different now?

spark helm
#

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.

midnight wyvern
#

vet is pretty terrible now

icy gulch
#

im hearing 2 different answers ;-;

midnight wyvern
#

they're lying to you

#

gaslighting even

#

I would never do that to you

#

you can trust me

icy gulch
#

oh god

spark helm
#

You can also, alternatively, ignore us both and start experimenting on your own.

icy gulch
#

it was all classes except ogryn that got reworked correct?

midnight wyvern
#

and arb

spark helm
#

Yeah

icy gulch
#

Oh right, that class

spark helm
#

But yeah, veteran got better with more options going up. Unsure what difficulty you play on but veteran doing pretty nice.

sharp epoch
#

melee vet got buffed though and mmf

spark helm
#

Marksman's Focus is far easier to manage as well.

#

Can just use melee to refresh stacks. No crab walk needed.

hollow ibex
#

MMF got hell of a glow up

#

The pathing did not though KEKW_ogryn

calm shard
#

MMF has .5 second stamina regen delay pathing

#

which is pretty huge for push attack spam weapons

signal garden
#

Tax

#

Break

#

3 more words

icy gulch
#

idk what that means but im scared

midnight wyvern
#

yeah vet is really good atm

#

everything is really good atm

#

lmao

signal garden
#

2 for 1

icy gulch
#

i just remember not liking how theres a "1 build or nothing" mentality with each class

spark helm
signal garden
#

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

icy gulch
#

no more 5% stamina just to get to my more grenade spam

icy gulch
#

i like this

#

this is great

midnight wyvern
#

regen is a dif node

icy gulch
#

i feel good. emperor provide emperor protect

#

oh i was being very unspecific

#

my b

#

oh this is a rework oh my

#

🙂

signal garden
#

right scavenger is more accessible for different builds

mortal aspen
midnight wyvern
signal garden
#

this is stupid of course, because scavenger is not something you should be foregoing, given the opportunity

midnight wyvern
#

good place to gander at the dif trees

spark helm
# icy gulch oh this is a rework oh my

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.

signal garden
#

like FS just make ait a passive, literally no one is going to take anything else!

midnight wyvern
icy gulch
#

everything is great

#

woooo

midnight wyvern
#

🤝

spark helm
#

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

signal garden
#

and of course one of the stamina regen delay nodes got removed and the value added passive to vet

#

which is quite huge

spark helm
#

Why is that even there?

#

I never understood the node.

signal garden
#

because vet still has below average stamina regen relay for some reason

#

in spite of guardsmen having superb training

spark helm
midnight wyvern
#

he's just old

signal garden
#

ok maybe psyker has a noticeably less than average stamina

turbid ibex
#

ogryn has 1s, zealot also has 0.75s, psyker and arb have 0.5s

signal garden
#

but still

#

yeah but ogryn has like 10 base bars

#

and on a class whose MO is spam LMB

turbid ibex
#

yeah but vet isnt really below average when it comes to stamina delay

signal garden
#

so you never notice it

midnight wyvern
#

arb being .5 still boggles my mind

signal garden
#

well arb are borderline superhuman anyways

midnight wyvern
#

who gives a fuck about the lore

signal garden
#

something about the schola progenium

midnight wyvern
#

its a game we're yapping about

mortal aspen
#

kek

spark helm
#

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.

hollow ibex
#

It’s pretty noticeable if you sprint and have to start fighting

#

Or PA or block a lot

signal garden
#

another thing is prolonged combat is designed around pushblock attacking

hollow ibex
#

It’s the main reason why old vet stam econ was so dogshit

midnight wyvern
signal garden
#

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

turbid ibex
signal garden
#

yeah but they get so much TGH off of dodge and have so much DR

spark helm
signal garden
#

dodge for 30% stamina is pretty yuge

spark helm
#

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

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.

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

spark helm
midnight wyvern
#

go to the weapon in your inventory and click on it, top right will have "marks"

spark helm
#

^

dapper coyote
#

Ahhh

midnight wyvern
#

can change between the marks there

dapper coyote
#

I see

spark helm
#

Mhm. It came with the unlocked and unloaded patch

dapper coyote
#

Didn't know what that was, i thought it was cosmetic thingy

spark helm
#

Yeah that's understandable.

dapper coyote
#

So i can just take my current HB and instantly change it to heavy and back to light?

midnight wyvern

I dont know what a HB is

spark helm

Yep. At zero cost.

When I came back I think I had like

midnight wyvern
#

the resources in DT still suck dogass for people that don't have any

spark helm
#

I can see that one for sure.

mortal aspen
#

i doubt the vast majority care that the trees got better

spark helm
#

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.

mortal aspen
#

also no nerfs to the meta weapons

#

new vet weapon is pretty average and not a gun like some hoped

spark helm
#

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

steel veldt
#

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

mortal aspen
#

countless reasons to be dissatisfied

steel veldt
#

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"

mortal aspen
#

DS deals with every single enemy in the game and is also a very safe and mobile weapon

midnight wyvern
mortal aspen
#

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

steel veldt
#

I never see Power Sword being used

spark helm
hollow ibex

Ogryn had the least iirc.

elder void

they should just remove everything with carapace and replace them with storm vermin, i mean it works in their other game are they stupid?

steel veldt
midnight wyvern
#

I know

steel veldt
#

I have like 100 hours

midnight wyvern
#

want to know how?

hollow ibex
#

But psword is the strongest melee in the game

#

Yes, it’s that strong

steel veldt
#

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

spark helm
#

Oh yeah. P.sword been one of the biggest players in this game for as long as i can remember.

steel veldt
#

and by everyone I mean like

from some weirdo ytber

mortal aspen
#

the game obviously has a power creep issue because Fatshark are scared shitless of the chinese review bombers who hate nerfs

midnight wyvern
mortal aspen
#

the gameplay suffers because they can't nerf anything properly

steel veldt
#

Chinese people have Darktide?

spark helm
#

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

steel veldt
#

I'd expect not due to all the gore and skulls

mortal aspen
#

and they instead release a patch that makes 3\5 classes like 50% stronger lule

bros, what gun do you recommend for mmf? I tried a couple but I don't think I'm going about it right

the parry fucks hard

spark helm
#

They shut me right the fuck up

#

its janky, what was wrong with the brettonian longsword type parry

spark helm
#

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?

mortal aspen
#

it has automatic block on charging a heavy

spark helm
#

Oh that

#

Okay. I thought it was a special function because rapier had that too

mortal aspen
#

there are no weapons with the DT parry

spark helm
#

Well, it wasn't a special function with rapier but you know what I mean.

steel veldt
#

what's BLS

mortal aspen
#

rapier is unique in that you can use special without breaking block (and that it has a special in the first place)

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

mortal aspen

monkes are scary and much more threatening than berserkers in dt

they teach the importance of blocking

spark helm

Yeah the little bastards actually hurt in a game that's just meaner about punishing your failed skill checks.

My friends made a joke years ago when we were doing realism expert marathons. Jockeys straight up became the most dangerous thing

Imagine if in DT Versus Mutants could CHOOSE where to throw you

"Why does nobody use Field Improvisation"

becuase of Serrated Blade

I love it.

Not both

You don’t need to take field
Improv to take serrated blade btw

steel veldt
#

It seems more cost effective tho

hollow ibex
#

It isn’t

#

Both are tax nodes

spark helm
#

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.

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.

I take my serrated blade

serrated is not "good"

I don't

Knife, tac axe and sunder power actually validate the use of serrated

I main Knife as of now anyway

And I just like bleeding people

Turns a "tax" node into a genuinely powerful one

midnight wyvern
hybrid plover
steel veldt
hybrid plover
#

Why skirmisher

tall torrent
steel veldt
#

Is skirmisher that good?

hybrid plover
#

Because skirmisher is possibly one of vet's strongest nodes

midnight wyvern
#

no

#

hes gonna try gaslight you into believing otherwise

#

I didn't even get to finish typing it

#

they're getting faster

#

Gaslighters all

steel veldt
#

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

hybrid plover
#

Skirmisher

#

Is arguably just free damage for playing the game right.

steel veldt
#

I guess you're right

midnight wyvern
#

you have free will

#

use it

steel veldt
#

I don't

#

I lack free will

I am a sheep

I'm curious

What's the full tree looking like here

steel veldt
#

You don't want to see

#

trust me

#

I made everything on a whim

midnight wyvern
#

yeah show the class

steel veldt
#

because my friend who originally helped me was like

#

"nah I wanna see what you do"

steel veldt
#

that's like 12 screenshots

hybrid plover
#

For the one that you switched skirmisher out for

steel veldt
#

So the VoC build

#

okay

midnight wyvern
#

toy

steel veldt
#

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

midnight wyvern
#

who said we were gonna make any

steel veldt
#

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

midnight wyvern
#

he is most certainly in the kitchen

steel veldt
#

If it works for Auric

#

I am happy

#

I don't plan to Havoc

hybrid plover
#

Tbh

midnight wyvern
#

it could be worse

#

you could've taken infiltrate

steel veldt
#

Boltgun IS BETTER.

#

YES

#

But I like Bpistol more

#

So I use that

midnight wyvern

#

50% up from 25% makes all the difference for non-ExeStance

#

swap speed that is

steel veldt
#

It was originally my first Vet build

midnight wyvern
#

I dont think ive played more than 1 match with infiltrate

hybrid plover
#

Its okay. But that red node on the bottom unfortunately isn't as good as it used to be. 😔

midnight wyvern
#

yeah gooder to switch to other red node

hybrid plover
#

Nah I just wouldn't use em overall

#

Uptime just ain't there anymore.

midnight wyvern

depends what the goal is too

What CQK?

hybrid plover
#

Ye

midnight wyvern
#

close quarters killzone im guessing

#

right side red node

steel veldt
#

Also I just realised

#

Exe Stance makes you instantly equip your ranged weapon?

signal garden
#

yeah i dont see that being used over "30% stamina on dodge"

steel veldt
#

So with a boltgun

hybrid plover
#

Yes.

steel veldt
#

You can instantly pull it out

signal garden
#

its always done that yet

steel veldt
#

Why can't I read

signal garden
#

it used to reload on active

steel veldt
#

I always would pull out my boltgun then activate it

signal garden
#

and thats the real kicker

hybrid plover
steel veldt
#

instead of just activating it

midnight wyvern
hybrid plover
#

It has an internal cooldown

signal garden
#

im still choosing it over close damage, as that has never helped me reach breakpoints that i know of

steel veldt
#

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

i feel like reload on ES was built in to ES wasnt it?

well a 30 round bolter dump was still cool

going from not having it to straight up having it

#

does Chink in their Armor apply to melee as well, or just ranged?

signal garden

is kinda insulting

#

whoa you cant say that

Context 😈

sullen scarab
#

Does it apply to melee weapons at all, or nah

sullen scarab
#

the rending from it

#

since it just says "rending" lol

#

damnb......

#

I thought they removed it

midnight wyvern
#

it still exists

sullen scarab
#

Unfortunate name and all, yes lmao

#

Where?

sullen scarab
orchid hemlock
#

Oh for MF

sullen scarab
#

ye

orchid hemlock
#

Never used it so I don't care

sullen scarab
#

LOL

#

I don't use it personally, a friend was asking me so I was like huh

orchid hemlock
#

Tunnel vision is by far the best node

sullen scarab
#

yeah

orchid hemlock
#

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

sullen scarab
#

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

orchid hemlock
#

Maybe this could work?

signal garden
#

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

sullen scarab
#

That looks good

orchid hemlock
#

With the MF on the rending instead

sullen scarab
#

I'll try that build out!

#

Ty

signal garden
#

but i dont see myself actively swinging a melee weapon and getting headshots and NOT going WS

#

because that sounds incredibly tedious

sullen scarab
#

Yeah it was more of like, a curious question lol

orchid hemlock
signal garden
#

yeah but the counter qeustion is whther you should

sullen scarab
#

My friend were laughing so hard when I hit ES and everything meltrd

orchid hemlock
#

ES?

sullen scarab
#

Executioner stance

orchid hemlock
#

Idk about melted, but you do shoot for a long time

#

The strength of the build is actually the melee 💀

sullen scarab
#

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

orchid hemlock
#

You get to use recon, but also use the best Vet weapon in the game without sacrificing damage for both

sullen scarab
#

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

orchid hemlock
#

Melee I'm still testing, probably into Armor DS is better

#

But the idea is that Vraks turns into a monster with MF

sullen scarab
#

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+++

serene bough
#

i.e. its very easy to keep at max stacks throughout the game

hybrid plover
#

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

sullen scarab
#

Yeee

signal garden
#

its the shockmine effect

sullen scarab
#

Also axe gremlin instead of knife gremlin?!?!

signal garden
#

i have thingy that ignores half the problems so i can deal with the other problems

hybrid plover
#

I use both

#

But tac axe stocks are through the roof

sullen scarab
#

I love the tacaxe

signal garden
#

serrated blade has fun raw damage options for dagger

hybrid plover
#

Melee vet build, but with focus target and onslaught goes absolutely bonkers in havoc

sullen scarab
#

The heavy attack to push attack loop feels so good, I don't know how to explain it

signal garden
#

but tacax is just good on... all the classes that can use it?

sullen scarab
#

It's so smooth

hybrid plover
#

It's the one weapon I genuinely don't recommend using weapon specialist on

sullen scarab
#

What build have you been running with tac axe

#

Share it with me so I can fly

hybrid plover
#

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

sullen scarab
#

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

tall torrent

#

@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

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

sullen scarab
#

since I'm guessing you don't need to run Crit on it like the other ones

hollow ibex
#

Flak maniac unyielding

#

Some combo of those

#

Though I’d recommend always taking flak

hybrid plover
#

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.

sullen scarab
#

I'll try it out, it's always been my favorite for sound effects lmao

tall torrent
#

it's good

hybrid plover
#

I mean i did a havoc 40 with it so it's usable enough for that.

sullen scarab
#

that's true LOL

tall torrent
#

it's basically "what if the vraks mk5 infantry autogun was actually balanced"

sullen scarab
#

LOL

#

running crit chance on it works?

tall torrent
#

ya

hybrid plover
#

Yes. Because crit stringing.

sullen scarab
#

oh yeah quick question on tacaxe, unarmored/flak is for hitting breakpoints right

#

on bruisers?

tall torrent
#

u don't have to run flak on it

#

I run carapace

sullen scarab
#

ahh ok

#

ohhhh

#

could have sworn I read flak in the past lol

sullen scarab
#

i knew you told me unarmored last time

#

does the Agripinna MKI rely on crit stringing, or is it just the vraks and columnus?

hollow ibex
# tall torrent it's good

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 angymorrow

sullen scarab
#

oh really?

#

huh, I thought the super fast firing one needed crits

tall torrent
sullen scarab
#

oh ok LOL

tall torrent

agripinaa mk1 doesn't rly need crit

i understand

tall torrent
#

2-string is meh

sullen scarab
#

my brain is expanding

sullen scarab
# hybrid plover Ye

I'm guessing you put UNyielding on the tacaxe because you have onslaught for carapace

tall torrent
#

@hybrid plover do u think melee atk reach is important in guide

hollow ibex
#

What’s the range difference between say relic and knife?

sudden cedar
#

@hollow ibex Quite substantial.

sharp epoch
#

@tall torrent does plasma penetrate through crushers?

hollow ibex
#

Well yeah, just wondering if you have exact distances

fair shale
hollow ibex
#

And if a lot of weapons have the same range

hollow ibex
#

Or DD Sustained Fire

fair shale
#

Im ngl I used to run double Salvo perks on it

#

That was fun

tall torrent
#

cannot cleave through carapace

fair shale
#

I swear it could

sharp epoch
#

thats what I thought from gameplay

#

bulwark shields stop it too pretty sure but still do some damage

tall torrent
#

it can dmg bulwark on hitting shield

#

but won't penetrate bulwark if it hits shield

fair shale
#

So you're telling me

#

Plasma can pen like 3 feet of solid concrete

#

But not a crusher

What to dump on autopistol?

Especially since some people don't realize how long the reach is on some attacks

#

Like mk6 knife push atk

hybrid plover
#

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

sullen scarab

ahhhhh ok

makes sense

that's a great idea actually

#

I was just thinking about that

willow prairie
#

if only chain axe good

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

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.

hollow ibex
#

Yeah I mean ranges is mostly just a vibe thing imo

hybrid plover
#

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

hybrid plover
#

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

sullen scarab
hybrid plover
#

Bleed does considerable damage to unyielding

sullen scarab
#

ahhhh ok

#

i had no idea

#

excellent

#

and yeah I mostly run aurics so its crusher spam that's super annoying lol

hybrid plover
#

Ye. Bleed is weird. It hurts maniacs and unyielding enemies real hard

#

But ironically

tall torrent
#

Just maniac

sullen scarab
#

doesn't it help stack brittleness from onslaught as well?

hybrid plover
#

Im p.sure it also does pretty reasonable damage to unyielding too with onslaught in the mix

sullen scarab
#

yeah

tall torrent
#

brittleness + bleed vs unyielding is MASSIVELY overrated

sullen scarab
#

ah ok

#

so basically bleed smacks up maniacs

hybrid plover
#

I mean, I wasn't exactly wrong.

Just that maniacs is the only enemy that bleed damages in full.

sullen scarab
#

is adm average damage per minute?

hybrid plover
#

Armor damage modifier

sullen scarab
#

ahhh ok

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
hybrid plover
sullen scarab
#

Does the bleed stack brittleness from onslaught onto carapace units?

hybrid plover
#

Of course the bleed ain't doing much when the sword itself is just going to nuke it out of existence.

sullen scarab
#

LOL

tall torrent
#

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

hybrid plover
#

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.

sullen scarab
#

does putting +unyielding on the tacaxe help with the bosses to a noticeable degree, or nah

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

It's no deal breaker.

tall torrent
#

ur crit-weakspot overhead heavy atk does less than half of a non-crit weakspot hit from power sword

#

we live in a society

sullen scarab
hybrid plover
#

You're better off putting that perk to something you know is going to increase your performance across the board

tall torrent
#

just do carapace tbh

#

I think with this patch, carapace and flak's value went up as perks

hybrid plover
#

Whether it be cara to deal with crushers or flak to deal with more mixed hordes

tall torrent
#

basically every weapon that wanted unarmored before the patch sorta still want unarmored

sullen scarab
#

Yeah, I'll go with Carapace haha

#

Thanks guys, helped a ton

#

I'll just shoot the bosses

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

U don't even need to

hybrid plover
#

I didn't know shroudfield could actually make relic do that now.

sullen scarab
#

Holy shit

hybrid plover
#

Hmm.

dusk osprey
tall torrent
#

it's a hybrid frontliner

hybrid plover
#

Yeah I think I need to try that.

tall torrent
#

it doesn't aggro dump that much

#

take shroud's DR node instead

hybrid plover
#

Honestly.

tall torrent
#

8s duration of x0.7 DR

#

on a 10~13s CD ult

#

pretty good uptime

hybrid plover
#

It's not shroudfield itself i find much issue with

tall torrent
#

lack of atk speed?

#

this gets +40%

hybrid plover
#

It's Mastercrafted that gives me conniptions

tall torrent
#

mastercrafted is good but I sorta prefer the DR path

#

and tbh shroudfield is just for that 1 big alpha strike

hybrid plover
#

Even with the cool down nerf, that lower threat is so easy to spam and misuse and cause problems.

tall torrent
#

flak, carapace, cranial for relic blade
I run leakage as 2nd blessing

sullen scarab
#

Which blade is that one?

tall torrent
#

mk10, the better one

hybrid plover
#

The good one

sullen scarab
#

Ok I figured lol

hybrid plover
#

I really wish the other one's uppercut had hit box prioritization

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

It would be so much better.

tall torrent
#

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

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

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

tall torrent
#

also shroudfield allows u to backstab with horizontal energized sweep and it kills like 3 ragers in 1 hit lol

hybrid plover
#

I'm surprised they didn't just bake that into Infiltrate too at this point.

hybrid plover
#

When I crutched way hard on stealth zealot

#

That was also when you could just instantly get your ult back with pious

tall torrent
#

but martyr feels like ass compared to IJ

#

relic shroud is not getting any monster 1 taps tho

hybrid plover
#

I like martyr with chorus specifically

tall torrent
#

u do at best like 1/2 their health bar

#

which is still pretty good

#

but it's not gonna win any awards

hybrid plover
#

It's serviceable. Usually there's three others attacking the monster so it'll just make the job easier.

#

Usually.

tall torrent
#

and the captain 1 shot works in h40

#

since captains don't scale hp in havoc

hybrid plover
#

Not huffing copium whatsoever

#

I'm glad that's the one enemy they decided not to up the health for with the shield gating

hybrid plover
#

Captains would be so obnoxious to fight

tall torrent
#

if martyr gave strength instead of dmg it'd be so much better

#

would help with stagger and cleave

mortal aspen
#

the new zealot with the right keystone actually has some good consistent passive toughness regen

hollow ibex
#

What are the buffs that IJ has over Marty again

mortal aspen
#

really tempted to try it

hollow ibex
#

Besides dodge

tall torrent
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Yeah idk the dodge and toughness is nice

#

But I don’t think IJ mogs Marty

tall torrent
#

that 30%dmg diff is also smaller than u think because it adds onto other dmg bonuses

hollow ibex
#

Better dodge is also just a bit less valuable on zealot

tall torrent
#

nah it matters a lot

hollow ibex
#

When you have an I win button that’s constantly up

tall torrent
#

it's the same dodge buff like vet's WS

#

except it works all the time instead of only from weapon swaps

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

I average 15-16

tall torrent
#

still good enough

hollow ibex
#

So factoring that in too

tall torrent
#

the important stuff is dodge speed

hollow ibex
#

Don’t really think IJ is a clear winner

tall torrent
#

makes all the difference

hollow ibex
#

I can see it being better in havoc

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

Where survivability is important

tall torrent
#

keystone themselves they're equal cost (keystone + 3 subnodes)

#

but martyr requires extra spec

hollow ibex
#

But otherwise nah

void dragon
#

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.

#

Recommended Blessings for Plasma gun?

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

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.
