So the deadshot perk applies in alternate fire mode

What is alternate fire? Just the right mouse ads/brace?

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.

south copper
#

What’s the highest amount of toughness a curio can give? The highest I’ve gotten so far is 17%

tepid otter
#

I think it is 17%, unless some can quote me on that

narrow frost
#

17%

south copper
#

Aight. So I gotta get 2 more 17% ones

tepid otter
#

I go for like 2 toughness curios and 1 stam one

south copper
#

I do triple toughness. I never feel I don’t have enough stamina with 4 bars

#

I have like 210 toughness rn

hollow ibex
#

some enemies bypass toughness

south copper
#

What I have feels fine to me. Plus technically the meta is indeed triple toughness

dense river
#

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?

silver patrol
#

it's the hellbore

tepid otter
#

Hellbore

south copper
#

Plasma can one body shot snipers and 2 body shot crushers while being less clunky

dense river
#

Hmm and no for bolter and plasma? (not pistol the actual bolt gun mk2)

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

Ain't worth it

hollow ibex

in the current gamemode you should take the recon for a spin

hollow ibex

why even take toughness

dense river
#

I dont get it, plasma gun can shoot through walls but not carapace?

hollow ibex
#

just don't run curios dumdum

south copper
silver patrol
#

ehrm

#

triple wounds

tame lodge
#

200 HP and 1 sniper res

silver patrol
#

all with +curio chance, +exp, +ordos

tame lodge
#

Boom you're set

#

For life

south copper
#

World’s first true survivor runs triple toughness. That’s enough convincing for me that it’s meta

tame lodge
#

Havoc

#

Then yeah
Auric meta is 200 hp

#

1 sniper res

hollow ibex
south copper
#

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

hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
tame lodge
#

So it's harder to achieve 200

#

That's why

south copper
#

They still run the same build outside of havoc too

#

I’ll take the word of the provably better player thanks

orchid hemlock
#

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

south copper
#

Why would you be sitting eating 3 sniper shots as veteran on auric

orchid hemlock
#

200hp is also a poxburster breakpoints

south copper
#

Non rhetorical

south copper
#

It doesn’t make sense to build for sitting in one spot eating 3 sniper shots

orchid hemlock
south copper
#

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

orchid hemlock
tame lodge
#

Bro's building toughness

#

Why? Are you planning to get hit

south copper
#

There’s a difference between building to get hit by 2 things and everything else

hybrid plover
#

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.

orchid hemlock
#

I don't take HP in any curios because I play havoc 40s

Breakpoints don't exist

hybrid plover
#

Honestly one of my gripes with havoc is exactly that

curio setups are different because of the value nerfs

orchid hemlock
#

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

hybrid plover
#

so you have to deliberately choose different curios for each mode

hybrid plover
orchid hemlock
#

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 💀

hybrid plover
#

Yes let's give the space wizard 25% damage reduction at virtually all times

orchid hemlock
#

I've seen Psykers take a wound curio in 40s

meager echo
#

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.

hybrid plover
south copper
#

I hate every class besides veteran

meager echo
south copper
#

That and kraks instadeleting everything bigger from infinite range and having infinite uses

meager echo
#

You don't have to think, you don't have to aim, just point at that direction and it's gone KEKW_ogryn

#

best gun ever.

hybrid plover
#

orchid hemlock
meager echo
#

If you take 3 toughness and someone push poxburster to you...

#

Happen way to often in pubs.

orchid hemlock
#

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

meager echo
#

I can't play psyker, the flame staff make the screen unplayable, can't see anything staregryn

orchid hemlock
#

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 💀

meager echo
orchid hemlock
#

Or face block a demon host without taking any damage

#

Or infinite slide

willow prairie
#

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

unreal nova
orchid hemlock
#

I'm not taking HP curious on Zealot 😤

unreal nova
#

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.

Well if I was playing Psyker it would be sliding 😈

unreal nova
#

Pretty sure current havoc doesn't care about running, too many walls of 14+ crushers and bulwarks preventing it. Specifically just crushers.

unreal nova
orchid hemlock
#

Also dodging eats stamina

That's why I'm always empty 😈

tame lodge
#

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

unreal nova
tame lodge
#

Might try the M2 build later

unreal nova
#

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.

vestal olive
#

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

south copper
#

If I have a drill and not a screwdriver, why would I bother replacing the drill with a screwdriver

vestal olive
#

I forgot that ownership and usage of both is physically impossible

#

My fault king

south copper
#

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

vestal olive
#

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

south copper
#

In this scenario the meta for the harder gamemode still works perfectly well

vestal olive
#

Not relevant to the question of what is the meta

#

I like green beans too. Equally not relevant

south copper
#

Imma keep it real, idgaf

#

My build works

#

I’m not changing it

vestal olive
#

Again, not relevant to the question of what is the meta

south copper
#

It’s the havoc meta. Good enough for me

unreal nova
south copper
#

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

ripe jewel
#

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

south copper
#

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

ripe jewel
#

I think you're confusing what's meta for what's viable

unreal nova
ripe jewel
#

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'

south copper
#

Like Helldivers

hybrid plover
#

DOUBLE BARREL RAAAARRRGGGHHGHG

ripe jewel
#

no meta matters, just that to my knowledge ainz is really good

ripe jewel
unreal nova
#

Is more, auric is where you can mess around more than late havocs.

south copper
#

The content isn’t hard enough for a meta to matter

unreal nova
#

If you are just going to run hard meta, might as well havoc grind.

hybrid plover
#

I love being Doom Guy in Havoc

ripe jewel
#

high havoc is

#

lol

south copper
#

I don’t do havoc because it has no matchmaking and sitting in LFG for 10+ minutes isn’t fun

ripe jewel
#

ok but what you don't play is still a part of the game

tepid otter
ripe jewel
#

you not playing it doesn't make it not part of the experience

hybrid plover
#

I mean it's been a little bleak with the current modifiers imho

south copper
#

I was addressing the previous statement

tepid otter
#

Just did H31 and fought off 4 bosses at once with some randos

hybrid plover
#

But hey the event's really fun

ripe jewel
sharp epoch
south copper
#

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

sharp epoch
#

I thought winning an auric malestrom would boost you to like 15 or 20

tepid otter
#

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

sharp epoch
#

@south copper do an auric malestrom then your clearance will go to 16 then matchmaking should be better

hybrid plover
#

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

south copper
#

Tf is a maelstrom?

hybrid plover
sharp epoch
#

on the auric mission board it'll say malestrom on one of them its basically a harder auric

hybrid plover
#

It's the fun auric modifiers :)

sharp epoch
#

the hardest difficulty before havoc was released

south copper
#

I exclusively quick match so I guess I haven’t done one

spark helm
#

You've likely done one before and never realized it since its part of quick play pools.

hybrid plover
#

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.

hybrid plover
spark helm
#

Auric maelstrom like people said used to be the highest difficulty standard before havoc 40 became a thing.

hybrid plover
spark helm
#

Oh havoc 16

#

Mhm.

hybrid plover
#

Because doing an auric maelstrom automatically jumps you to clearance 16

spark helm
#

Interesting

#

Didn't know that. Just off one clear?

hybrid plover
#

Yes.

south copper
#

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

hybrid plover
#

And if you go below 16, you can do an auric maelstrom and get right back to it.

spark helm
#

I'm wired and wanna get back on psyker. Feel like playing with staves again.

hybrid plover
spark helm
#

Guess I'll just run that as a warmup

south copper
#

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

sharp epoch
#

I thought the game was easy 😭

hybrid plover
#

Yeah there's some uh

#

Mixed signals here.

spark helm
# south copper Imma keep it real, if it’s harder than like the high intensity missions it proba...

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. Sitgryn

south copper
spark helm
#

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. chadgryn

south copper
#

The game doesn’t even tell me those things

#

I’m on console

#

There’s 0 individual stats

spark helm
#

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.

south copper
#

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

hybrid plover
#

you may want to try maelstrom if I'll be honest

spark helm
# south copper It’s like they’re playing a solo game

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.

hybrid plover
#

Darktide is a game of inversed difficulty if that makes sense.

spark helm
#

And I'd say that staying in higher difficulties makes cooperation and more sensible matchmaking randoms much more common.

hybrid plover
#

The higher the difficulty, the more competent your teammates tend to be, and therefore, the easier the games tend to become.

spark helm
#

A lot of people breeze into auric and that's their wall and they stay there until they give up or get better eventually.

hybrid plover
south copper
# spark helm It can sometimes just mean that you take a few seconds during a fight to soften ...

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

toxic reef
#

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

spark helm
# south copper That’s been a pretty consistent experience for me with randoms

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.

south copper
#

That’s why I say it’s a toss up

spark helm
#

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. 😭

spark helm
#

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.

Is the power falchion or the power sword really good against them with their special attack?

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

ivory aurora

dose las pistols work with vet or not too much ?

slow sky

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 ?

static radish
#

there's two types of vet

slow sky
static radish
#

wait no better joke yet

slow sky
#

Recon banks on crits due to infernus and shock troop
Laspistol does it for those two AND cuz it needs crit headshots

static radish
#

we got a type of tyranid subspecies in the game, they are called "ammo stealers"

ivory trail
#

Recon las but you no longer have fingers

static radish
#

fucking hell that vet didnt stop taking all the ammo

slow sky
#

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

ivory trail

#

im good myself lol, im a vet with survivalist i dont care

static radish
#

the other two dudes tho? getting pissed at that vet

They have guns too

Cuz who would willingly use a staff?

not even just a tin

gotcha

#

so it doesnt like..apply to ranged kills i take it

5% toughness from ANY kill is pretty good

tepid otter

#

oh

#

cool

#

so now even with a ranged kill i can get toughness?

#

sign me in

#

Plus now your melee kills give a total of 10%

static radish
#

yeh

#

whats a good gun for WS ?

slow sky
#

Its good for builds that get large quantities of kills consistently, like a melee build with a cleavier weapon

#

Double barrel

static radish
#

already have it so i think im good

dapper coyote
#

Chat, which Vigil AG is good? (light medium or heavy, i don't remember the name or marks)

tepid otter
#

Uhhh

#

I think the third one

dapper coyote
#

Heavy

dapper coyote
#

With semi auto with no bursts

dapper coyote
calm shard
#

Semi auto one is the most comfy for most people to use

dapper coyote
#

Fair enough

slow sky
#

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

calm shard
#

Columnus (3 shot burst) does wild damage per trigger pull so it scales very well into havoc

slow sky
#

So they really work with anything

calm shard
#

Agri? the 2 shot burst one is a comfy middle ground

#

and Graia is semi auto

But double barrel smiles

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

static radish
#

good my english sucks today...when doesnt it suck tbh

calm shard
#

P sure they used Zarona because that's what I was showing off with exe shotgun earlier

static radish
calm shard
#

Zarona is definitely reliant on having high crit chance

#

I can 100% believe that it sucks when leveling

static radish
#

ohhh yeah makes sense

midnight wyvern
#

I need to chuck together a thing for DB/manstopper flechette

#

sounds so goofy

calm shard
#

Zarona has laspistol damage profile syndrome

#

Does fuck all if it doesn't crit

dry cloak
static radish
#

gotcha, so for now agri is better i take it?

calm shard
#

Agripinaa is less crit reliant

#

Yeah

till i can get the crit stuff

#

oke oke

thank ye

now i just need to get the melees

dry cloak

#

Consecutive combo

calm shard
#

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

I use dclaw with my helbore build

im not sure if i should use shovel, knife or falchion or even something else

slow sky

Can't go wrong with shovel
Yes im biased but its true, its a good generalist

static radish
#

true

#

you're not wrong there

tepid otter
#

the bonkening

static radish
#

i do like the knife as well, but idk why i like the mk3

#

more than 6

slow sky
#

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

static radish
#

the shovel or?

slow sky
#

Yes

static radish
#

i see

#

vet shoulnd't use mk3 knife should he?

dry cloak
#

mk6 knifes better anyway

slow sky
#

Knives still one of the best weapons in the game, both marks

dry cloak
#

mk3 knife has better fineese multiplayer? no? its moveset is better suited for stleaht zealot than mk6

distant plaza
static radish
#

"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

dry cloak
#

i use mk6 with haymaker

#

its funny

static radish
#

fair enough

#

´then again, why mk3 on zealot?

#

since it can only do one hit or?

dry cloak
#

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

So many helbore kriegsmen throwing auric matches

You need 3 'nade builds.

static radish

They should at least run shout rather than 3x exec stance

Then die once a crusher pack shows up

Or at least bring kraks

even smoke?

ok well

i have an idea

but an idea non the less

use the same fucking build for all nades

just change the nade

unreal nova
static radish
#

oh ok

unreal nova
#

3 'nade builds, each for each 'nade type.

bleak oasis
#

Why make them be separate builds, then?

static radish
#

can't forget

unreal nova
#

Just don't expect much from smoke bomber.

unreal nova
static radish
#

eh i need it for a penance anyways so

bleak oasis
#

There's a mod to make swapping nodes possible with a click of the button

static radish
#

oh

unreal nova
#

The loadout system doesn't let you switch between key nodes.

bleak oasis
#

There's a mod for that.

static radish
#

send me the mod thank yee

unreal nova
static radish
#

karien doesnt use mods

#

i do

#

but mostly qol ones

unreal nova
#

Not everyone mods or has access to mods.

bleak oasis
#

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

unreal nova
#

To be fair, I just learnt to count my dodges lul.

#

Or aboose agile.

bleak oasis
#

If only weapons didn't have varying dodge counts

#

Or builds had no nodes that increased them

unreal nova
#

You get used to it. This is also vet where we lack that.

bleak oasis
#

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

static radish
static radish

i know i saw the comments

i was most surprised thats it

bleak oasis

Unless FS makes any changes to how the UI for talent trees work, it'll work

unreal nova

bleak oasis
#

And the rebalance they did only affected the effects of the nodes themselves

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?

been using it a lot lately in auric maels + havocs

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

versed mural
#

Which, as a mechanic, I can respect, but still, it would make changing it a nightmare

azure narwhal
# versed mural …I was not aware of that. Thank you

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.

unreal nova
versed mural
wise wren
#

any recommendatrions on the tree here
thinking of getting rid of either longshot or born in blood

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

though i don't think there's a big difference

azure narwhal
#

you like mk1 better?

#

hm

versed mural
wise wren
unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

which is still not bad

#

power falch's carapace damage is perfectly fine

hollow ibex
#

it's the horde clear and lack of stagger that's the issue

#

and unpowered damage

versed mural
wise wren
unreal nova
azure narwhal
#

i honestly grew to like mk2b's uppercuts more, however mk1 has its bonuses

versed mural
azure narwhal
#

thrust and horizontals are very good

wise wren
#

wait

#

I see it okay

unreal nova
wise wren
#

im assuming out for blood is very good though or?

unreal nova
#

Is gud if you actually melee.

#

Or just bewm hordes to hit a bitch at the back.

versed mural
unreal nova
#

Ehm. I mean, that cackling trapper trying to run off.

unreal nova
hollow ibex
unreal nova
wise wren
#

alright I need to figure out how to save one more point to get bring it down

wise wren
#

bet

hollow ibex
#

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

azure narwhal
#

Also, maybe just go down into FT at that point

#

Keystoneless is still a waste

hollow ibex
#

yeah FT is worth picking up

unreal nova
#

Hard to ping on controller.

unreal nova
#

But assuming it's a recon build, all three keystones still eh.

wise wren
#

Yeah like

unreal nova
wise wren
#

FT is yhe only one that kinda works cause marksman is finesse strength and im on that executioner stance pack

azure narwhal
#

Also damn darktide on controller

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

WS works on recon las too

azure narwhal
#

My friend whos on xbox said hed rather not

if you plan on meleeing more

He told me nah gonna be too cancer on controller

Smh big copium

But you went down middle so lul.

wise wren
#

oh I wasnt even running one motion lmao

unreal nova
#

To be fair, I also run VIc.

#

Tactical reload+10% reload speed is hilarious.

wise wren
#

one motion does feel insane though ill give it that much but I think volley adept might be better for my case

tr is way easier though hold on

That is death on higher diffs.

To do a job your melee can

unreal nova

Very easily

unreal nova

Just shoot everything.

wise wren
unreal nova
#

You would be using too much ammo otherwise.

unreal nova
azure narwhal
#

Doesn't mean you can't get very close to it though

#

Just melee the occasional crusher and it'll be all the same

unreal nova
#

Unless you god roll crits up the wazoo.

azure narwhal
#

You can still dump on maulers with body shots at the end of the day

azure narwhal
#

Drop everything

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

unreal nova
azure narwhal
#

It's just a pack of 4-ish plasma gunners that show up sometimes

#

True

unreal nova
#

They should have been more like specials than elites.

#

In number.

azure narwhal
#

🤷‍♂️ it is sad to see tbh, like

makes new enemy
new enemy is barely encountered

wise wren
#

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

unreal nova
wise wren
#

im seeing the damage increase but still taking around the same amount prolly cause of crit luck

unreal nova
#

Because 14+ plasma gunners is absolute bs.

azure narwhal
#

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

But Taxe with bleed...

Yeah but id say knife in this case loses out more

#

And his tree is a little tight hmmm

#

Reload speed could be sacrificed

unreal nova

True

#

I've forgotten vet's other 2 abilities

unreal nova

Unless you are sure you can chain another kill at full reload speed.

Still the same

unreal nova
#

Oh, I know. Been memeing with exe stance Vraks and VIc.

#

Why I remembered that.

wise wren
#

Whats the diff between tac axe variants?

low oar
#

Is marksman focus plasma a good idea?

#

Assuming I can aim
Which is questionable sometimes

unreal nova
#

From memory.

wise wren
#

is the mk4 the good one?

#

like the head taker single target one

unreal nova
#

If I remember right.

#

It has cleave on lights lul.

hollow ibex
#

II is like VII but kinda worse

#

IV is funny light spam (though generally worse than VII)

mortal aspen
#

7 is also super fun

#

it should do more damage to crushers tho

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?

calm shard
#

defences is obvious dump

#

cole said earlier that for perks it's Unyielding/Carapace

#

and blessings they use Uncanny/Decimator

hollow ibex
toxic reef
#

no, defense

#

defense is the dump on almost everything that has it

safe epoch
toxic reef
#

bulwarks, monsters

#

uncanny gives you all the armor penetration you need so

narrow frost
#

unarmored ogryns and bosses

#

but not necessary for non havoc

#

for most weapons

#

unyielding is rare

toxic reef
#

maybe on difficulties lower than auric

#

but then again I mostly just play auric maelstrom so

hollow ibex
#

given how important PA spam is

rapid egret
#

has anyone else been having disconnect problems when they finish a match?

toxic reef
#

I mostly light or heavy spam so

hollow ibex
#

heavy spam is for hordes

#

lights are basically uselss

#

and single target is PA spam

#

^ mk1

safe epoch
#

what is PA?

narrow frost
#

Push Attack

hybrid plover
#

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.

spark helm
#

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.

safe epoch
#

Impact is more stagger?

spark helm
#

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.

hollow ibex
#

though that's a bit of a simplification

spark helm
hybrid plover
#

Defenses for shovel actually does have a lot more value than other weapons

spark helm
#

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.

safe epoch
spark helm
safe epoch
#

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

spark helm
#

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).

safe epoch
#

I don't like the power sword, the new falchion though is really nice

spark helm
#

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.
