He can’t
More than he loves you
god emprah loves me more
This is Blödsinn
Krieg didn't give enough soldiers for the tithe it seems
I’m going back to digging my trench
@dense river gonna be through your fracking house
jesus
So the deadshot perk applies in alternate fire mode
What is alternate fire? Just the right mouse ads/brace?
I implore the krieger to read Gone With the Blastwave
.
Uh
Those masks are interesting
Not sure if it makes sense to wear two filters when you got a hose already going down?
Well I guess theres triple filters out there.
What’s the highest amount of toughness a curio can give? The highest I’ve gotten so far is 17%
I think it is 17%, unless some can quote me on that
17%
Aight. So I gotta get 2 more 17% ones
I go for like 2 toughness curios and 1 stam one
I do triple toughness. I never feel I don’t have enough stamina with 4 bars
I have like 210 toughness rn
it's a good idea to take one hp still
some enemies bypass toughness
What I have feels fine to me. Plus technically the meta is indeed triple toughness
Out of all the veteran weapons, which ones are the proper one shot headshot snipers for even crushers?
I know the revolver can do it with one build, what about hellbore/bolter/plasma?
it's the hellbore
Hellbore
Plasma can one body shot snipers and 2 body shot crushers while being less clunky
Hmm and no for bolter and plasma? (not pistol the actual bolt gun mk2)
hope you never get sniped or eat a burster to the face
Forget about shooting carapace with plasma
Ain't worth it
well maybe during the current gamemode it's worth it lol
Those are both skill issues and negated by shout
But
But
Bad habits
in the current gamemode you should take the recon for a spin
yeah simply don't get hit

why even take toughness
I dont get it, plasma gun can shoot through walls but not carapace?
just don't run curios dumdum
It still does good damage to carapace
The meta would be 201 hp

200 HP and 1 sniper res
all with +curio chance, +exp, +ordos
World’s first true survivor runs triple toughness. That’s enough convincing for me that it’s meta
you're going to get fucked and you'll remember this conversation 
Why would the meta in an easier activity be different than a harder activity. That’s nonsensical. There’s like 10% the snipers and bursters on auric vs havoc
too much of a pain to build for on vet
Because havoc nerfs your HP and toughness
So it's harder to achieve 200
That's why
They still run the same build outside of havoc too
I’ll take the word of the provably better player thanks
There are breakpoints
If you have 200hp and 1 sniper resist you can survive 3 shots instead of 2
Then again it is assuming you never take any HP damage
Why would you be sitting eating 3 sniper shots as veteran on auric
200hp is also a poxburster breakpoints
Non rhetorical
It doesn’t make sense to build for sitting in one spot eating 3 sniper shots
Its not necessarily that you will take 3 sniper shots, it's more of the fact that no matter how much toughness you have you will take the same amount of damage from a sniper/pox
But you take less damage from basically everything else
Again why build to get hit by 2 things
Especially things that aren’t especially difficult to avoid
You only take ho damage from melee attacks
There’s a difference between building to get hit by 2 things and everything else
by default cara stops all cleave
few exceptions
the only things that can actually allow you to cleave through cara are things that deliberately let you ignore hit mass and Power Sword's Sunder
The means, of ignoring hit mass being few and far between.
I think you are making the assumption that people sacrifice toughness to get HP
When you don't need to
I already explained earlier the logic
I'm not really trying to be a lawyer on it, that's the justification 🤷🏻♂️
I don't take HP in any curios because I play havoc 40s
Breakpoints don't exist
Honestly one of my gripes with havoc is exactly that
curio setups are different because of the value nerfs
The breakpoint isn't hard to achieve
Zealot and Arbi both have 200 base HP
So the only 2 classes that really worry about that is Psyker and Vet
so you have to deliberately choose different curios for each mode
Crazy how psyker doesn't even have to worry about it as much anymore
Psyker is already a giga broken class, so taking 2 toughness and an HP curious is perfectly fine and even at times justified since the only way a Psyker can fuck up is if they play themselves and do something stupid 💀
Yes let's give the space wizard 25% damage reduction at virtually all times
I've seen Psykers take a wound curio in 40s
1 hp is enough for vet and psyker, the other 2 does not matter at all. Just take whatever you like, stamina/ hp/ toughness.
It's all about abusing gold anyway.
Me, an exe stance enjoyer, scoffs at this notion
Man everyone says that but I hate playing psyker. I feel weaker than my vet
I hate every class besides veteran
I don't even want to play other class because of plasma gun.
Just point the gun at their direction and specialists disappear.
Yea see that’s my favorite thing about it lol
That and kraks instadeleting everything bigger from infinite range and having infinite uses
You don't have to think, you don't have to aim, just point at that direction and it's gone 
best gun ever.
plasma boaring
Nah I refuse to take HP on Vet anymore
Class straight up has asthma 💀
If you take 3 toughness and someone push poxburster to you...
Happen way to often in pubs.

I think people struggle with Psyker, not because it's "hard", but because the lightbulb in understanding the core mechanics of the game hasn't lit up yet
I can't play psyker, the flame staff make the screen unplayable, can't see anything 
They don't realize how giga broken it is to have infinite cleave until they are thrown into a maelstrom meat grinder
Or CCing everything in front of you
Or blocking all range fire
Or pressing 2 buttons and everything gets 40 dots 💀
I've played with a flame psyker with a run cancel purgatus macro
.
Shit is busted af.
in vt2 the funny staff can actually hurt your team because they don't get thp and friendly fire lol
there literally no real downside to purg
It is. You need 21, 21, 5, 5, 5 to get 245 on Zeal.
The breakpoint is 200 hp I'm not talking about the next one
I'm not taking HP curious on Zealot 😤
Yeah, but idea is, to hit 200 lul.
You could drop the 3x 5%, I think.
And btw, a sniper shot takes around 47% of my hp bar.
I got railed by accident even when the lazer was on the other zealot.
The other zealot hit like 27% hp left but they are running those martyrdom stuff nodes.
Zealot at base has 200 hp

not anymore it doesnt
Don't you want more?
The only thing they buff was delay
Max stamina and sprint depletion is still the same
The entire convo was talking about the 200hp breakpoint with poxbursters and snipers
soooo? stamina management is easy now
I don't know about "easy" but moving 2 centimeters and my sprint is halved 🥵
sounds like a you problem honestly
Yeah, you can take one, but will likely leave you nearly dead.
Why are you running with the plasma or powersword?
On my psyker I’m essentially just running a melee build. I don’t like any staves
The only thing I like about the class is the moonlight greatsword
Literally the one thing it has that’s cooler than anything vet has
99% of this game is running
The joke is swapping to a more mobile weapon.
Well if I was playing Psyker it would be sliding 😈
Pretty sure current havoc doesn't care about running, too many walls of 14+ crushers and bulwarks preventing it. Specifically just crushers.
-0.25 stam delay node.
Also dodging eats stamina
That's why I'm always empty 😈
Welp just played one match of the event
There's a reason why Plasma is low ammo
Because hoo boy
I never spammed it this much
Actual railgun now
Might try the M2 build later
50? No, inf.
All guns at low ping funni.
300 ping means you just sad melee only.
Nothing hits barring pointblank shots... AND EVEN THEN.
0 damage stagger.
It's not nonsensical at all
That's like asking why someone would ever use a screwdriver to do a simple task when a power drill is much better for harder tasks
If I have a drill and not a screwdriver, why would I bother replacing the drill with a screwdriver
The game has RNG rolls. I’m not grinding for something different when I already have something strong that works for me
Slot machines are a waste of time
Second. The meta of an easier game mode can and will absolutely be different from a harder game mode. Case in point: League of legends ranks
The meta of Diamond is not the meta of Silver
In this scenario the meta for the harder gamemode still works perfectly well
Not relevant to the question of what is the meta
I like green beans too. Equally not relevant
Again, not relevant to the question of what is the meta
It’s the havoc meta. Good enough for me
I wouldn't power drill to screw my PC case close nor powerdrill to unscrew and screw my controller case and other electronic stuff.
Y’all are getting lost in these metaphors.
I have the havoc meta build
The havoc meta build works in auric
I’m gonna use it
I don’t want to make another build because RNG farming is garbage
That’s that
yea it works
no one is telling you to swap or anything
just that if your concern is purely meta you aren't strictly following it
I’m following the havoc meta. The havoc meta works in auric
Y’all are making it out like it doesn’t
It literally does or else I wouldn’t be able to clear auric with it
I think you're confusing what's meta for what's viable
Ainz solo'd auric with greys.
meta is the most effective tactic available and it's ok to not strictly follow it
often times people perform better with what suits their playstyle over what is strictly 'meta'
Good for them. Means the game isn’t hard enough for a meta to even matter
Like Helldivers
DOUBLE BARREL RAAAARRRGGGHHGHG
no meta matters, just that to my knowledge ainz is really good
peak
Is more, auric is where you can mess around more than late havocs.
The content isn’t hard enough for a meta to matter
If you are just going to run hard meta, might as well havoc grind.
I love being Doom Guy in Havoc
I don’t do havoc because it has no matchmaking and sitting in LFG for 10+ minutes isn’t fun
ok but what you don't play is still a part of the game
is glorious
you not playing it doesn't make it not part of the experience
I mean it's been a little bleak with the current modifiers imho
I was addressing the previous statement
Just did H31 and fought off 4 bosses at once with some randos
But hey the event's really fun
oh okay i suppose
i think 10 minutes is an exaggeration tbh and theres always this discord lfg your already in
The first couple havoc runs I did, I was sitting for like 10 minutes waiting for just one person to join
I don’t get why they don’t have matchmaking for 1-10 or whatever
I get it eventually gets extremely hard but those levels are like malice difficulty
I thought winning an auric malestrom would boost you to like 15 or 20
16
Do wish they'd add a bit more incentive to Havocs, I personally enjoy the game mode, but yeah, theres not enough people doing it in lower difficulties
@south copper do an auric malestrom then your clearance will go to 16 then matchmaking should be better
Well, kinda makes sense given by the time you want to bother with Havoc in most cases, you've at least done an Auric Maelstrom
Tf is a maelstrom?
Ain't no flippin way
on the auric mission board it'll say malestrom on one of them its basically a harder auric
It's the fun auric modifiers :)
the hardest difficulty before havoc was released
I exclusively quick match so I guess I haven’t done one
Extra modifiers
You've likely done one before and never realized it since its part of quick play pools.
1-15 exist as a way for newer players to get somewhat familiarized with the idea of Havoc but at this point, that's few and far between.
If they haven't reached 16, they probably haven't done a maelstrom.
Auric maelstrom like people said used to be the highest difficulty standard before havoc 40 became a thing.
Like level 16?
Clearance 16
Because doing an auric maelstrom automatically jumps you to clearance 16
Yes.
Imma keep it real, if it’s harder than like the high intensity missions it probably won’t be beatable for me cuz I play with randoms and they can’t even really do those
And if you go below 16, you can do an auric maelstrom and get right back to it.
I'm wired and wanna get back on psyker. Feel like playing with staves again.
That sounds like quitter talk. 
Guess I'll just run that as a warmup
I play games for fun. I ain’t got shit to prove
If something isn’t fun I don’t do it
Modifierless auric is already a toss up with randoms to the point where I feel I do better with bots sometimes
I thought the game was easy 😭
At that rate, you'll have to actually allow yourself to communicate at whatever capacity is acceptable to you.
Even though it can be a pain in the ass, giving information through reliable pings based off of better judgement helps everyone. People at higher levels can often forget how important that is but just pinging even one enemy can shift dps on a valuable target in an instant. Or a couple of enemy pings on incoming horde mobs helps give someone willing to keep their senses available time to help address/acknowledge the situation.
Comms work too and people are often more likely to cooperate at highest game modes even if they don't wanna respond or whatever. People like cooperating when there's hundreds of enemies filling a corridor and it's four people defending a pincer.
Worth considering I'd say. 
I ping shit all the time. And type in chat. Hell one of my builds is literally a mark vet. But that doesn’t do much for the zealots that go off 5 miles ahead of the team just to die and leave
Not much you can do about that besides playing strong and supporting the people actually supporting you back.
Let the main characters draw fire for you. Free stat padding. Can't rack up kills and top dps when you're waiting for rescue. 
The game doesn’t even tell me those things
I’m on console
There’s 0 individual stats
I was being facetious about stats tbh.
The point there has more to do with just letting goofy play fuel your killstreaks so you can keep the backpack healthy yk?
If you're already that competent, you just being a veteran automatically usually means that everyone else can benefit. Just being near a good veteran unrionically makes everything better. Leaning into being a team player doesn't have to mean you're stifling yourself by not overextending your reach when trying to corral someone dedicated to play poorly.
Well when I get teammates that understand that, the missions go smoothly
But like
I consistently get the teams with 3 melee classes that like to speedrun on their own then die
It’s like they’re playing a solo game
you may want to try maelstrom if I'll be honest
It can sometimes just mean that you take a few seconds during a fight to soften up a zealot dive, sneak in a grenade for them, etc. Ping shit like trappers and whatever.
I literally just use pings and focus target explictly to give silly players a shiny mini game to race after.
You'd be surprised how much command veteran can literally command from people without ever having to push themselves.
Darktide is a game of inversed difficulty if that makes sense.
And I'd say that staying in higher difficulties makes cooperation and more sensible matchmaking randoms much more common.
The higher the difficulty, the more competent your teammates tend to be, and therefore, the easier the games tend to become.
A lot of people breeze into auric and that's their wall and they stay there until they give up or get better eventually.
Mind that this is not always how this plays out.
No like I had a game yesterday. High intensity auric mission The worst match I have ever played in this game. I was vet with 2 zealots and an arb. I spawned in on one of the zealots. The other one was like several whole point of no returns ahead. The arb was one behind. Arb dies and leaves. We frantically try to catch up to the lead zealot until they die and leave. Then the two of us wipe to all the enemies that the lead zealot left behind in conjunction with another wave that spawned
That’s been a pretty consistent experience for me with randoms
people who also can't hold their own tend to just quit more often
like I rarely even get zealots who just run ahead and if I do they usually just die and quit anyway
Yeah sometimes you really do just get dumb games like that. It sucks but that's just what it is sometimes.
As a veteran, sometimes I just say fuck it and keep up with the gorilla goofy players and ape out better than them. It can be fun but also annoying because that can sometimes be the best strategy but some people really do try and play this game like a solo act but...just can't do basic shit anyway so they kind of treat higher difficulties like roulette runs and unconsciously sabotage missions then just leave.
There are times where you're just going to get games like that no matter what you say or do to give them better information and support to even enable that nonsense.
Shrug and go next, maybe try and politely (safe humor works in my experience the most) do vocal callouts.
If they keep being stupid, fuck it let em die. The next person may show up sooner than later. Rinse repeat.
This game encourages people just diving in and out of backfill so the salty folks just flow into everyone else.
Zealots, ogryn and arbites are usually my "scrub rando" commons.
Yea but a majority of my auric games end up being like that. One out of like 4 missions is the team actually coherent. Every other time it’s leavers and wipes
That’s why I say it’s a toss up
Ape out is too real lmao
Vets can be too but voc usually carries poor habits enough to salvage things because I too get the toughness even though they kind of just burned it on cooldown again. 😭
Look, that rashad combat axe is great in that regard.
They're doing all this extra flailing and I'm just dropping heavies like singles at the cashier checkout line lmao.
Oh? I got voc for the 5th time? Alright. stares at their toughness meter
Okay it's at 20% again because they can't understand the concept of a combo nor shoves on arbites boom golden.
Go forth, my goofies. Kill them focus target spam
The exact same mentality exists when I play ogryn but I'm just cycling loyal protector while hogging kills anyway. They're gonna race to me at some point because I'm holding the whole damn hive off of one block and taunt.
You can finesse people's cooperation by just being better and forcing fights towards you. The goofies want to feel powerful and their main character antics can actually promote them to finally play like a teammate for the most selfish reasons.
Boom, you just gaslit your zealot scrub into coherency purely by being more efficient. Genius.
What region?
fatshark literally strikes me down for deciding to do a ranged build instead of exclusively shovel double barrel
all ragers
all gas
all close quarters
get locked into a corner idiot

Oh ok not rotten armor?
Lol
50% ranged dr for armor
That would be more funny
id kill myself ngl
Lot of times all that shit was hard to see through. I would be blocking a lot too
But they definitely didn't want you to pull out your range
How do you guys setup your bolters far as weapon perks go?
unyielding & flak on veteran
Not carapace?
shooting carapace with bolter is fun but not a good idea
works in auric tho, just steal all the ammo (it's rightfully yours)
melee the crusher
Yes be an ammo hog
Is the power falchion or the power sword really good against them with their special attack?
power sword apperantly is good at everthing
power sword
Ohh
Well
Scrw the dueling sword then
Bolter + Power sword : )
Not really running a melee build tho
Fuuu
I find that PS is annoying to use after trying out axe
Build diversity is such exquisite agony, so many choices
Huh thats odd
I just went to the armory and saw a curio that needed level 24 and I was able to buy it anyway (I am level 22)
Cant equip it though, thats nice of the game to allow me to buy it for later though
dose las pistols work with vet or not too much ?
It does, fair amount of crit in the tree, free ammo with shock troop, and ranged damage scattered all around as well as finesse damage in marksman focus
All of its damage is loaded into crit headshots so you really wanna be landing those
ohh i see. is it close to the recon las build ?
there's two types of vet
Yeah, but less spammy and more deliberate aim
wait no better joke yet
Recon banks on crits due to infernus and shock troop
Laspistol does it for those two AND cuz it needs crit headshots
we got a type of tyranid subspecies in the game, they are called "ammo stealers"
Recon las but you no longer have fingers
fucking hell that vet didnt stop taking all the ammo
You can get away with just firing in the general direction of an enemy with recon cuz youll stack burn on em so quickly they'll just perish
But you gotta aim with laspistol
Tradeoff is some nasty damage against stuff like unarmored and ESPECIALLYA unyielding
Play psyker or ogryn so you no longer need ammo
im good myself lol, im a vet with survivalist i dont care
Wdym, psykers need ammo
the other two dudes tho? getting pissed at that vet
i see thank you guys!
My finger for the Emperor
Oh and use the mk2 pattern
Yeah thats the faster firing one but the other one firing much slower is just kinda ass in both feel and breakpoints
The faster one also stacks infernus faster too
Up to you
ok
is out for blood good?
at the lowest

at max hp they have 75%
even more 
I take it on my Grenadier vet to help keep toughness up for teams in Coherency
Works for any kills afaik
Plus now your melee kills give a total of 10%
Its good for builds that get large quantities of kills consistently, like a melee build with a cleavier weapon
I got Bistol on it atm lmao
yes
grenade build maybe? 
Biased answer or unbiased answer
yes
Double barrel
already have it so i think im good
for the other one tho?
Chat, which Vigil AG is good? (light medium or heavy, i don't remember the name or marks)
all 3 are good currently
With semi auto with no bursts
Hmm
Semi auto one is the most comfy for most people to use
Fair enough
Revolvers are also good with it considering the round up like double barrel, and the ensured crit is really nice with them
Aside from that, theyre just some nice small passive buffs to ranged, the better part is the melee buffs it grants if youre not leaning hard into the ranged buffs like the auto reload and forced crit
Columnus (3 shot burst) does wild damage per trigger pull so it scales very well into havoc
gotcha
So they really work with anything
But double barrel 
I see
Fletchette manstopper double barrel
delicious gun it KILLS ALL MY ENEMIES
remove room infront of you gun
also @calm shard i did give a try to the combat shotgun stance...maybe cuz im still upgrading my skill tree but idk, doesnt feel good (at least atm)
yeah breakpoint reliant gun moment
good my english sucks today...when doesnt it suck tbh
which combat shotty? agrippina?
P sure they used Zarona because that's what I was showing off with exe shotgun earlier
zorona
Zarona is definitely reliant on having high crit chance
I can 100% believe that it sucks when leveling
ohhh yeah makes sense
if you want to run exe stance with shotgun you go agrippina
gotcha, so for now agri is better i take it?
Nah Zarona's good too
god i hate discord buffering

Its 251 kills in less than 1 minute
now i just need to get the melees
i dont doubr that. just agrip will work better on avarage
Consecutive combo
Ironically I kinda feel like I use Agri less when I have it equipped
Just because it does less things at once
I don't disagree with you mind because Agri isn't as crit reliant, and is more accurate

interesting "gif"
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ffb5fd9-655c-4fef-86af-187952d06cfb/lasgun-veteran-current im running helbore my beloved. But I was wondering, I dont vie with knife or shovel. More so chain axe or devil claw swor,d what would yall reccomend?
agrip shotty is basically a rifle
devil claw for horde clear on even heavysword
shit felt like 5 minutes
bet thanks what blessings and perks?
and mark
for devilc claw its either mk4 or mk7
for heavy sword check which moveset works for you the best
Have you tried enjoying the correct weapon (mk1 shovel) instead of not enjoying it?
how amI gonna duel a plauge ogryn with a fin shuffle
cole at it again
What's the best melee to use if I use plasma, any good options to try?
By hitting it??
Psword
any horde clear weapon you want
shiiiiit
Yeah turns out you can do that with daemonhosts too
Crazy ik
out of curiosity whats theb uild for the hsovel
The shovel alone?
well im doing theh elborel asgun build I sent
Unyielding carapace uncanny decimator
Specifically with serrated blade
But im just a shovel shill
I use dclaw with my helbore build
Shame that I suck at aiming
lads, i need some help finding some melees
can be found in your primary weapon slot
you are welcome
sir this is a wendy's
This is what I was using in havoc 40 earlier today with
Hotshot surgical helbore (the slowest charging i think?)
And a shred rampage dclaw 7
im not sure if i should use shovel, knife or falchion or even something else
Can't go wrong with shovel
Yes im biased but its true, its a good generalist
the bonkening
Good dodges, good defense/stam economy, good clear, good single target, and with uncanny/serrated, good armor damage
Oh and mk1 force stagger special let's you control space super easy
the shovel or?
Yes
mk6 knifes better anyway
Knives still one of the best weapons in the game, both marks
mk3 knife has better fineese multiplayer? no? its moveset is better suited for stleaht zealot than mk6
another connoisseur of kill tracker!
"multiplayer"
sorry that made me giggle despite probably being an auto correct error
the again, i dont really use heavy attack on the knife besides when to backstab
i just shwing
yes there's an H there because i want it
mk6 has 3 heavies
with 2 of those being sideways
and mk3 has 2 heavies both being strikedowns
it simply works better for stealth zealot than mk6
I need numbers going up on my screen or I will fucking explode and then die
You forgot that you don't need to invest too much in talents to make them work.
So it's good if you decide to go to the left side
gotcha
Heck, you can mk6 on shroud zealot fine.
yes you can
What are the mods u use?
The hud ones
well alright
idk why i prefer mk3
but if it is worse
Not that bad. Is only when you get to vet and psyker where the mk3 is really bad.
gotcha gotcha
anyone else been getting horrible network lag since the update?
I mean the last patch like 2 days ago
it always has been
nah I mean like way worse
it's to the point that I have to restart every single lobby, often disconnects, and half the time can't even walk in the direction im looking, swap weapons, attack, etc
Welcome to the servers, never changed since a year back.
What server? I play asia/hong kong and its generally stable
EU and US can get spicy. And it's not even my 300 ping at times
Oh yeah
When I cant find matches I switch to EU and damn
Its like a whole different game almost because of how many network issues I end up with
damn I might consider using that then
Some servers are good, some are... horrible.
vets, are we all just rocking kraks now?
ol' reliable
i wanna bring back my damn shovel
shredder frags for me
(since i dont do havoc or auric)
oh. i only play auric; dont do havoc.
i heard that shredder frags arent bad
i use them to clear room (especially with inf build)
which is possible w/ p. sword and p. falcion
and that (dot dot dot) thing
(d. sword)
🤢
as i wish i had a fun team like that
really did take a liking to the infantry las
fun when you dont have to kill your finger spamming it
Holy fuck
Bro teaming up with rattlings
Guy on right playing for the moebian lakers
arguably best blitz in the game
kraks are just EXTREMELY good into the current havoc modifiers
because of SOMEBODY
who has way too much health for their own good
My man here fat shaming the crushers for doing their job of being super chunky
seriously fuck's this guy got all that health for
thats what...9k hp total?
ok a bit more
i wonder if we'll ever get any other chaos god in darktide...probably not
havoc 40 😎
just normal damnation probly
Time to gamble teammates.
mortis trials
the ratling is me. i did min height lmfao
You get less than a run of the same diff.
And you only get them at the end.
events + auric
The best is havoc, for weekly box and the grinding highest diff you can play and loot.
Excluding events.
Events are nice when they are running, but one time only.
Anything you can get your hands on tbh lol
My b chief, my intention wasn’t to say anything negative abt ur character, just found it funny 3 min height vets and 1 max height vet makes the difference comedically noticeable
its nbd lmfao i found it hilarious
im angry im small and i have a shovel
True
Your pfp
anyone else specifically shoot maulers in the dick
Its reminds of this one Krieg lady

when i ran my vet through the ai gacha machine, i said "i look like someones porn oc"
LOL
Isn't that 99% of OCs anyway?
tis what i aready do
im a gremlin for those
4
4 deamon hosts
in a single mission
Most ive ever gotten was 5, that was a bad day for them hehehe~
damn?
The best part is that height doesn't just scale how tall you are... Everything else gets bigger, including certain swords.
No no it was on Auric, not damn...lol
i say damn as in, "damn 4? sheesh"
Ik ik I like messing around
:C
i brought the infiltrate build by accident
when i tried to shout i went invis and thought "welp..NADE TIME"
Sounds like lights out.
it was lol
Oof
When I saw my 5 I was running my Hammer Zealot bulid sooooo, they didnt even have a hp bar lol
man i really wanna only have 3 builds on this vet but like...not have the stealth bomber sucks
I just went...BACKSHOT and they just died
thammer?
didnt read this
8 builds or bust.
So many helbore kriegsmen throwing auric matches
You need 3 'nade builds.
not surprised
They should at least run shout rather than 3x exec stance
One being absolute stupid memes.
Then die once a crusher pack shows up
uhm....go on?
Or at least bring kraks
Grenadier builds for each 'nade.
oh
Yes, even smoke.
Bonus, you bring them to obscura dens.
Would be nice if the double nade skill gave smoke special treatment rather than having two smokes on the same spot
fuck are those
Should throw one and drop the other at your char's feet.
British colonial opium dens, but 40k
ok well
i have an idea
shitty one
but an idea non the less
use the same fucking build for all nades
just change the nade
That is what I meant.
oh ok
3 'nade builds, each for each 'nade type.
Why make them be separate builds, then?
can't forget
Just don't expect much from smoke bomber.
Because FS.
eh i need it for a penance anyways so
There's a mod to make swapping nodes possible with a click of the button
oh
The loadout system doesn't let you switch between key nodes.
There's a mod for that.
send me the mod thank yee
A MOD.
Not everyone mods or has access to mods.
If FS isn't going to do the QoL changes, the modders will
Just look at dodge counters
3 years till it ended up incorporated into the game
If only weapons didn't have varying dodge counts
Or builds had no nodes that increased them
You get used to it. This is also vet where we lack that.
Should be this one.
Now that vet, zealot and psyker got reworked to "any blitz, any aura, no taxes", this mod gets more mileage.
Until, of course, FS makes skill trees less of a chore to re-spec when they inevitably hear people keep asking for QoL outside of mods
not the ones that just..."hey look barrels have this radius"
2023 and still works?
After all, I take more friendly fire in low diffs.
i literally use it. Yes.
Unless FS makes any changes to how the UI for talent trees work, it'll work
Thing about mods is how they are coded. Some mods just work years on, others break from a tiny unrelated patch.
what's that? official mod launcher that disables most of the coolest mods?
And the rebalance they did only affected the effects of the nodes themselves
and only allows a small selection of "verified" ones without forcing you into the modded realm that nobody plays?
yeah true
"solo gameplay" not avaliable be like 
More like, too expensive to run servers for those.
peer to peer is more expensive?
Me. I have been solo in this run the entire time anyway.
DT runs on actual servers.
Not P2P.
You can still 'solo' cos certain servers are dead as heck.
Is why I play 300 ping.
The server I play on is DEAD.
Only has like a period of time where there's actually players.
Shush you.
L
nope
trying to recreate my older build on vetran but I think the change of ndoes is messing me up a bit
So, I know people don’t like the power Falchion, how bad is it? Is it workable in auric?
very much so, it is overblown in terms of its bad performance imo
been using it a lot lately in auric maels + havocs
Yeah I was just playing with it in the Psykhanium and it seems good. I love the power sword but I find that I can end up getting cornered and running out of dodges
it's useable
just mid
remember that power sword dumps cleave targets
…I was not aware of that. Thank you
Game would have to basically recoded for it.
I get the feeling that this game’s code is 10 years of duct tape and zip ties
Yall think this looks fine?
I was stuck between born leader and demolition team
also trying to figure out how to get bring it down from here
So even worse, heh.
Which, as a mechanic, I can respect, but still, it would make changing it a nightmare
you're welcome, as for the power falchion, i'd suggest mk2b, cranial and wrath for blessings. i use carapace and unyielding for my perks. i've used both mks for some time, and to be honest, the uppercuts on mk2b are quite benefitial especially with vet's crits.
Why recode, no way changes will work.
Yeah exactly. It’s had so many years of hackjob additions and changes that you’re better off just rebuilding from the ground up
any recommendatrions on the tree here
thinking of getting rid of either longshot or born in blood
Thank you!! I will try that!
don't go keystoneless, don't take get back in the fight
mk1 is a bit better than mk2 tbh
though i don't think there's a big difference
I think longshot is usually dropped in favor of one motion
Running the recon MK 12 so usually keystoneless is what I went for before
Aw hell yeah
And this time, recode the good stuff so you don't need to refactor it over again and again.
this is juiced af, in practice it's prob going to be closer to 2k dps 
which is still not bad
power falch's carapace damage is perfectly fine
Is recon though.
Yeah but knowing corporate culture they’re never going to go for that. The labor costs would be way too high. Which is BS but it is what it is
yeah ti was doing numbers
I mean, they are still wasting more changing massive systems constantly.
leakage + a great number of active buffs + PA spam, makes sense lol it is indeed at its best here
i honestly grew to like mk2b's uppercuts more, however mk1 has its bonuses
Believe me, I agree, but management never sees it that way.
thrust and horizontals are very good
where is one motion?
wait
I see it okay
Seems about right. It's always the people down that notices more.
im assuming out for blood is very good though or?
Exactly. “I know a guy who can do it cheaper!” Then the cheap repair lasts a week, and they bring it back in even more broken than before
Ehm. I mean, that cackling trapper trying to run off.
Because quickfixes might make things worse to make it work now.
i just really hate how slow the heavies are on both marks of the power falch. it makes no sense.
Is supposed to be more finesse than the powersword. Somehow still slow.
alright I need to figure out how to save one more point to get bring it down
drop covering fire
bet
the buff doesn't apply to you so it's kinda shit
and you don't need tinkerer for kraks
outside of havoc
take skirmisher instead
as long asy ou have skirmisher kraks will hit the one shot crusher breakpoint
I get it, it does feel... clunky, i mean, it's a damn power falchion
Also, maybe just go down into FT at that point
Keystoneless is still a waste
yeah FT is worth picking up
No point, if I ping, is because I unloaded 70 shots into a bomber and it refuses to die.
Hard to ping on controller.
Agreed lol
But assuming it's a recon build, all three keystones still eh.
Yeah like
It's only fine in a survival situation tbh.
FT is yhe only one that kinda works cause marksman is finesse strength and im on that executioner stance pack
KILL that sextus minoris, 3 3 
Also damn darktide on controller
Finesse does nothing for recon as well, lul. You crit mostly to save ammo.
WS works on recon las too
My friend whos on xbox said hed rather not
if you plan on meleeing more
the only real issue im having atm is I couldnt get a reload perk so my refresh towards the end of a stack is reliant on me getting my combat ability back, infernus refreshing the executioner stance and just getting a kill in that 2ish seconds after reload
You can run tactical reload over one motion as a last resort.
But you went down middle so lul.
oh I wasnt even running one motion lmao
one motion does feel insane though ill give it that much but I think volley adept might be better for my case
It is cancer. You stop moving to press it.
tr is way easier though hold on
That is death on higher diffs.
This is how i'd have changed things around, but of course it is a little biased towards what i am used to as well
It's nice on slower pull out weapons. If you use the XII, I get it.
id lose out on onslauight that way though
You only take that to meme on malice.
Very easily
Just shoot everything.
Listen I like my 40% global brittleness stack
You would be using too much ammo otherwise.
You still wasted an entire clip to kill 1-2 crushers in heresy.
It's a fun idea but sadly un-realistic, to try and play veteran as a puritan ranged class, especially as you climb up
Doesn't mean you can't get very close to it though
Just melee the occasional crusher and it'll be all the same
Unless you god roll crits up the wazoo.
You can still dump on maulers with body shots at the end of the day
And plasma.
Yes
takes like 60ish shots out of my 180 for a crusher without active buffs lemme try again
No. Plasma gunners.
They are maulers with delete your toughness and armour guns.
Unc forgot about the new enemy for a second
I havent been seeing em nowhere near as much
Even on my havocs yesterday
They got properly nerfed then.
🤷♂️ it is sad to see tbh, like
makes new enemy
new enemy is barely encountered
Def easier ways but its not detrimentally bad without active buffs
wait that was missing a few perks
forgot to slot in bring it down
okay wierd its making no difference
More frequent than now but in much lower amounts than before is best.
im seeing the damage increase but still taking around the same amount prolly cause of crit luck
Because 14+ plasma gunners is absolute bs.
It's not unthinkable to pull off, especially with updated kraks, but it is again, a great expense for what you are achieving. Especially with carapace walls this will start to feel pretty bad, but if you like running it though 🤷♂️ might as well
I agree, launch was pretty nuts
Every corridor was lore accurate chaos incursions
is the rapier still bullshit broken btw?
I can understand the event, but even then lul.
Duelling sword? Got better
How
DS? Arguably better.
Lrn2parry.
Laugh.
insane till then i need recommendations on what to level
Heavy spam still works.
Parry special, easy stagger. True
moment
You can now parry bs.
Combat blade, it's very addicting
Yep
Funniest is mortis crit stack with bonus 200% weakspot and 350% damage every 15 sec. Parried DH and it disappeared.
tax axe, combat blade
Mortis buffs are so fun. Shame its popularity is often in the dumps
idk if you have it leveled but combat axe
Taxe 
I end up duoing those cos fairly dead.
fym
taxe is great
Yes
it's recommended
nvm axe it is when im not playing a novelty recon build
Yeah but id say knife in this case loses out more
And his tree is a little tight hmmm
Reload speed could be sacrificed
Is gud if exe stance.
Unless you are sure you can chain another kill at full reload speed.
Whats the diff between tac axe variants?
Is marksman focus plasma a good idea?
Assuming I can aim
Which is questionable sometimes
One is good, one is bad and one is funni light spam.
From memory.
That's the light spam one.
If I remember right.
It has cleave on lights lul.
VII is meta
II is like VII but kinda worse
IV is funny light spam (though generally worse than VII)
Tbh, all tac axes just feel like light spam machines
Met the voice of my vet today, lovely chap.
and juicy uppercut heavy
THESE FUCKERS ARE RECOVERING THE RATIONS
The common names are using unsupported alphabet ie:
[] [] [] [] [] []
In asian servers ofc
just had a very cool mission where everyone including me did very well...shame it was heresy only
I think we all should recover the rations
Maybe that one Miss Lady have a way to make it eatable without cancer
Guys I like the shovel, but cannot decide how to build it, like which stat to dump, which mark to choose or the blessings, do you have any suggestion?
defences is obvious dump
cole said earlier that for perks it's Unyielding/Carapace
and blessings they use Uncanny/Decimator
eh i think you'd want to dump mob on mk1 no?
unyielding is for?
unarmored ogryns and bosses
but not necessary for non havoc
for most weapons
unyielding is rare
maybe on difficulties lower than auric
but then again I mostly just play auric maelstrom so
yeah, though i think mk1 is prob one of the exceptions
given how important PA spam is
has anyone else been having disconnect problems when they finish a match?
I mostly light or heavy spam so
heavy spam is for hordes
lights are basically uselss
and single target is PA spam
^ mk1
what is PA?
Push Attack
Believe it or not
I run mob dump
Push attack is really important on mk1 actually
And it does actually help with stamina retention when you're using it.
I like both. Generally up to the person on what they want more out of with their shovel. I do mobility dump for better staying power with stamina costs and defenses dump for better movement and dodge distances.
Impact is more stagger?
I'd say mobility dump is better for a less experienced player so you can better stamina efficiency when you're just in a fight with it. Although a defense dump can help with more jittery habits.
essentially yes
though that's a bit of a simplification
Actually maybe defense dump is safer in a broader sense now that I'm thinking about it. What kind of difficulty are you hanging out in?
All mobility really does in this case is marginal sprint speed difference and dodge distance
Defenses for shovel actually does have a lot more value than other weapons
Yeah but I'm obsessed with speed anyway and the dodge distance in particular I'm thinking of since if they're newer, push attacks might be less used but mobility dump is my higher preference because of what we agree on.
It is a very marginal difference that'll only matter if you're a speed cretin like me.
I love coming up with excuses to justify sprint efficiency.
Can't help it.
mostly play damn, because I play with randos a lot
I am speed as well
If it's speed demon time, take that defense dump. If not, dump mobility. You can always get another shovel yk?
Yeah, it's just a bit underwelhimg sometimes when I compare with zealot options of meele
damn the game is not okay for me 2 disconnects in a roll
Well, at that point I'd have to ask about what your melee habits are. Zealot may be the melee specialist class of the game but veteran nowhere near a slouch in the melee output department. If you're willing to keep an eye out for a power sword with 60% dump in cleave...targets i believe or mobility you can secure probably the best melee option in the game (again).
I don't like the power sword, the new falchion though is really nice
The only thing you'll have to get accustomed to is weaving in special attacks and making sure you can land those cleaving weakspot attacks against hordes and single target combos against bigger targets. You'll need to have power cycler as your anchoring blessing however then choose between brutal momentum and sunder.
