when i install 100 horror slop mods for minecraft though

#

thats not because they're good, its because i love being instant killed and my ears being destroyed every 4 seconds

sturdy crescent
#

well i have some on valheim but all they just for building

hollow ibex
#

alright

#

starting to think the best setup for midchion

#

is cranial + wrath

#

on mk1

tame lodge
#

You lost me at wrath

#

🫡

hollow ibex
#

Sorry it’s not like the other options are better

tame lodge
#

Truest true to ever truthed

#

Recently found out on kulis that falchion cooled down faster and thought about heatsink

#

Went to double check his guide

#

And now it's saying that it takes longer

#

C'mon kuli you can't be mixing these things

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

About 4 seconds give or take

hollow ibex
#

ig that's actually pretty meaningful

charred drum
#

Anybody got a recon lasgun build? I wanna test some stuff

#

Mainly if I can do decent damage to elites

versed mural
#

What blessings are most useful on recon lasgun again? I know I’ve asked before, I know Dumdum is one

tame lodge
#

Dumdum + Infernus/Deathspitter

versed mural

#

tbh, I wouldnt even mind that lol

calm shard
tame lodge
#

Spitter is too good

faint beacon
#

Power Falchion was found dead the moment they refused to give it any significant blessings + meaningful ADMs and Stagger

#

It’s so unfortunate

#

Dead on Arrival

#

Our boy, Power Midchion

promised at the start of the year

arrived dead at the end of the year

Good Vet melee in 3… 2… 1- AND OH! INTERCEPTED BY PSYKER BUFFS!

I was too lazy to type that in I’m glad you did

#

I am not a fan of how it relies on Rending Strikes to be significant against Carapace

#

its honestly a snowball of a bunch of small things that makes it feel icky

bold sierra
#

I just build for Wrath and Overload w/ low Heat management lol, Overload's explosion at the end stagger everything and can be pretty damn nice

bold sierra
faint beacon
#

I despise how it struggles against ragers in general

#

thats my biggest irk

bold sierra
#

especially scab ragers

hollow ibex
#

it can kill ragers fairly quickly

#

it's just not safe

#

due to lack of stagger

#

also not taking cranial... idk chiefl

calm shard
bold sierra
hot thorn
tall torrent
#

I wouldn't call getting cut in half "a bit less"

bold sierra
faint beacon
#

IIb is so cool but its PA cant stagger ragers and that instantly kills it for me

bold sierra
#

it aint significant tho

tall torrent
#

power sword's downtime between atks is notable but u can always get powered atks

hot thorn
#

name of the game is fashiontide

faint beacon
#

I'd rather not get violated by the rager pack

faint beacon
#

its why I've been using MkI Adrian if I play it

bold sierra
tall torrent
faint beacon
#

Taxe is alright mainly cause of reliable stagger

#

but thats about it

bold sierra
#

on the ones that I have Overload + low power management, kinda treat the thing a bit differently

hot thorn

or krak grenade

calm shard
tall torrent
bold sierra
#

the heck is "exe"?

void dragon
#

Executer stance probably?

tall torrent
#

no stamina cost
stun immune (powered state can't be cancelled)
stagger up to 11 dreg ragers / 5 scab ragers per atk

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

and yea take sunder

bold sierra
#

dclaw, with +3 stam, some block efficiency solos this no sweat

tall torrent
bold sierra
bold sierra
bold sierra
#

I dont have hammerblow here, If I did those ragers would also be on their ass too

hollow ibex
#

dclaw 🤮

bold sierra
# tall torrent nah

safer pick FOR THAT I mean, I think we all know there's a reason why everyone takes powersword but, I think against ragers it's better

#

tho, almost nobody ever takes sunder + exec stance specifically for Power sword FOR that anyway lol

calm shard
#

mulches hordes

#

nukes any dreg rager that does that fucking god awful thing they do where they teleport 10 feet during their lunging attack

#

and hit you instantly

bold sierra
hollow ibex
calm shard
#

rampage and shred

#

what the hell else does this piece of shit even have

hollow ibex
#

cuz nothing is saving those flak adms

calm shard
#

It has FOUR of the same fucking impact blessing

bold sierra
#

hammerblow to knock the socks out of ragers when parrying is pretyt cool lmao

calm shard
#

honestly Mk VII isn't that bad

#

push attack into overhead is fast and kills flak

hollow ibex
#

i mean 60% on the sweeping heavy is... pretty yikes

#

you're going to feel it when bucketheads start showing up

calm shard
#

it does its best

#

and when its best isn't enough serrated blade saves the day

hollow ibex
#

ok yeah tested mk7 on my melee build

#

it's usable

#

with kraks ofc

tall torrent
#

DC7 has imo the coolest moveset of all melee weapons in this game

hollow ibex
#

what's the ST combo? PA LL H?

tall torrent
#

shame DC swords' stats have remarkable room for improvement

calm shard
#

parry goes into stab+overhead

#

it's very cool

tall torrent
#

I am not joking

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

doesnt sunder only work with heavy?

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

huh, alright

tall torrent
#

I was gonna take the time to edit my background music into that clip

hollow ibex
#

i get PA L overhead

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

ah

#

gotta parry first

tall torrent
calm shard
#

rather than outright dogshit like the other two

#

not using parry in the clip because obviously the parry nukes them from orbit that's kinda dclaws thing

#

also obvious note

#

or well not obvious

#

I play super invested into gun vet

#

So I don't have a lot of melee talents

#

or any rending

bold sierra
# tall torrent no

I'll admit I probably havent got the anim cancel tempo down like you did, and even then I think one screw up can probably get you shredded, given PS6 anchoring you down when activating lol, not to mention the ragers can get to non-staggerable state in their attack too, and i suppose it comes down to whether you wanna take exec stance for it or not lol

tall torrent
#

And ragers can be staggered while attacking

#

I only check stagger breakpoints when enemies have highest stagger reduction

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

No

bold sierra
#

it's a very small window tho

tall torrent
#

this is where dodging is particularly relevant

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

what

bold sierra
# tall torrent what

what, does mk6 not basically make you almost immobile (still able to move) when you activate it? That's kinda its one downside, no?

bold sierra
#

I dont think that was particularly hard to interpret

tall torrent
#

I thought u meant not being able to move

bold sierra
#

either way, not something that cannot be worked around

tall torrent
#

but in terms of the cancel sprint function

#

u can still dodge

#

and slide

#

so it's not that big of a deal

bold sierra
#

yeah you can, just not very much

tall torrent
#

the move speed curve penalty is not that bad compared to walking

#

and walking is basically ur movement speed in melee

#

actually I'm not even sure if it's diff move speed from walking

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

ok it's a bit slower than walk speed

#

but yea it's usually not a big deal cuz it activates fast

#

and u can usually dps check things before this becomes problematic

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

the margin of error in live game actually better cuz lag compensation is available

#

if ragers aren't that spread out then the first few u hit just die
it's much more dangerous when they're all stacked onto each other

#

the clip I showed has 2 key features working against me
no lag compensation
lone player (causes enemies to surround player if possible)

warm swallow
bold sierra
inland orchid
#

i make the mistake of tryna fit some heavies in the middle of all the parries

#

gets me killed lol

bold sierra
#

tho I do like that dclaw has the ability to just face-tank parry boss attacks , well, unless it's getting eaten by Burgle or grabbed by Chaos Spawn ofc.

inland orchid
#

ya thats a very enjoyable part of dclaw

bold sierra
#

this is in Auric tho cuz I dont want to crash when exiting Havoc Psykanium lol

What’s a good build for a plasma gun veteran?

hybrid flame
#

Pew pew

hybrid plover
surreal rune
#

i like the buffed dodges on the shock maul but

#

i feel as though they could have also buffed the chainaxe in that regard

#

not that it is a specific issue

#

they also seem to have removed some of the stun properties of its shredder

#

ok i've finally come around to the zarona

#

also how did i, an ES vet

#

have more melee damage than the gunker and arbi on my team

willow prairie
#

why aiming with special shell

hollow ibex
#

deadshot

#

idk if aiming affects min pellet count anymore

gentle lake
#

Is my plassy good?

Also how often should I be using this weapon?

spark helm
#

Good enough. I just use mine as needed.

#

Aim and fire. Don't waste it too much on weak mobs. If you want to kill some gunners with it, better to do it after positioning yourself to just blast through everything.

gentle lake
#

Oh yeah I like to do that plenty

#

I sometimes wait for a carapace horde

spark helm
#

Yep. Ping and fire.

#

Maybe avoid the rmb. It's really whatever.

#

Guarantees explosion on exceeding critical heat

tall torrent
gentle lake
#

Is it because I'm spamming VoC with Duty and Honor or is it just super fun to play vet

#

With my grenades restoring on elite kill AND every 60 seconds, and my power sword being perfect to deal with literally every enemy, and my plasma gun just boring holes into hordes. I feel like a real force of nature and spearhead for my team

hollow ibex
#

yup that's vet

spark helm
#

That's because veteran feels really good when it has momentum. Fatshark is pretty good with communicating powerful feedback within its strong options.

#

Tide games flowstates are near.

gentle lake
#

Well not spamming VoC I'm reserving it for scary hordes and gold toughness for my team to use

#

This was from playing a auric maelstrom btw

#

its so aweomse

#

I do a shit load of damage to bosses.

spark helm
#

Yeah, and when it's show time you just yell, enforce you and your team's presence and yall keep it moving.

#

And the damage weapons like that can give to vet is undeniably powerful. As is any other combinations of weapons, perks, blessings and talents whipping out something potent for the higher levels. Auric at this point is especially where the sauce gets revealed.

#

And back then when auric was the peak difficulty, that was the then metric that people developed metas around.

anyone have some suggestions for a havoc build using helbore? preferably mk IIIa but IV is fine if needed.

bold sierra
slate kayak
#

As a vet if I am using tactical axe, do I need close quarter killzone and onslaught?

#

Actually now that I think about it, I won't need onslaught

#

I think it's more for chainsaws

bold sierra
slate kayak
#

Thank you. Currently I have weapon specialist atm

toxic reef
#

I've never seen anyone run onslaught

compact oracle
#

ive seen people try to run it for recon but that still seems not worth it to me

toxic reef
#

brittleness is more of a team debuff so

#

can always run decimator on tac axe if you want stupid numbers

cerulean ravine
#

with the stamina regeneration in your curious,is that regeneration speed, or how much it regenerates per second, or wha?

#

And for some reason, field improv hasn't been working

you know how med-crates are supposed to heal off corruption with field improv?

up to your current wound

it won't heal past that

silver patrol
#

but not the delay it starts to regenerate after using stamina

cerulean ravine
#

rightt thanks

crimson wyvern
#

taking wounds feels like a great idea till you realize how much it fucks you in terms of the med stim and heal kits KEKW_ogryn

distant mural
crimson wyvern
#

Yea...

distant mural
#

It basically only gives you one more downwd before dying

crimson wyvern
#

I've always said wounds should be a curio only zealot can find in the store or roll for.

Everyone else gets +1 talent points.

And I dont buy the people saying "Oh no it'll be OP wah wah wah 👶 "

Youve been poisoned by youtubers that think anything new to any game will fundementally break it

distant mural
#

Yeah honestly the ammount of melk bucks i wasted only to get wound curios……

#

JUST GIVE ME MY 17 TOUGHNESS CURIOS MELK U SICK FUCK

stiff glacier
#

Im just saving melk bucks for arby weapons and for the new class

#

So i dont need to grind so hard

distant mural
#

Melk weapons not worth trust

stiff glacier
#

Before i got 6 21% health ones

distant mural
#

Yarrrrrrr

crimson wyvern
#

Out of interest what is the extra toughness giving you more than more health to you?

stiff glacier
#

Hey only took1200 hours

crimson wyvern
#

In your opinion

distant mural
#

Health doesnt

crimson wyvern
#

Isnt that an arguement for taking health?

stiff glacier
#

I take health to reach over 200 hp

distant mural
stiff glacier
#

Then toughness

#

I dont like lingering on low hp and trusting purely toughness

distant mural
#

So imo it makes no sense to take health at all

mortal aspen
#

extra health is neat, esp for havoc

distant mural
#

Unless ur vet

crimson wyvern
#

If toughness isnt 100% you're taking that damage. Its buying you extra ranged chip damage? How long are you sitting in front of gunfire without taking cover?

mortal aspen
#

to prevent oneshots and give a bigger buffer

stoic thorn
#

Can I just have the entire talent tree

distant mural
stoic thorn
#

All 100 talent points

mortal aspen
#

shout gives a big boost to toughness already, you have a lot in the tree as well

distant mural
#

Same for zealot i think

mortal aspen
#

we are in veteran chat

distant mural
#

Only one who benefits is vet and psyker

#

And only 1

stiff glacier
#

Vet can depending on build reach 190 toughness with +5 buffs on curios and both 25 toughness talents

mortal aspen
#

i would still take on oggy, because of how massive the base hp pool is

distant mural
#

And i still dont have em on my vet

#

Dont need em

stiff glacier
#

I just hate being below 200 health

distant mural
#

Ogryn can allready tank multiple burster

mortal aspen
#

it's all technically unnecessary

distant mural
stiff glacier
#

With zealot i like pulling all 3 health curios

mortal aspen
#

1 health curio is still doing something

#

vs something actually useless and detrimental like 1 wound

crimson wyvern
#

Just feels useless to take toughness. If you have 1000 toughness pooints or a 100 you're not getting anything extra, if that 1000 goes to 900 you're still taking damage

Idk if theres some weird calculation that more toughness means faster toughness regen from your perks that im missing or something

distant mural
#

I personally allways take toughness over health

stiff glacier
#

All the 4 wound vets i keep seeing in aurics hurt my soul

crimson wyvern
#

But how much ranged damage are you taking without moving to cover???

#

Are you just standing there

mortal aspen
#

enemies also do flat damage, the more toughness you have, the more you'll have left after one hit, the less health damage you will take

distant mural
#

In havoc

#

Like 1 tap prollyKEKW_ogryn

stiff glacier
#

There are places where cover isnt much of an option

distant mural
#

So u need ALL he thgnss

crimson wyvern
#

Sorry I didnt realize you were all Havoc players, ignore all comments, resume

#

I'm auric andy

stiff glacier
#

I am not KEKW_ogryn

mortal aspen
#

it's still useful in auric

distant mural
stiff glacier
#

Cant find people to pull havocs

distant mural
#

But i was just making extreme example

crimson wyvern
#

I'd play havocs but all my friends got their cosmetics and stopped playing it so I cant take it to that level

stiff glacier
#

And havocs look bit too much like pd2 death sentence onedown

crimson wyvern
#

Theres no one left in the game to play it with sadly

Partyfinder requires playground tactics of wearing the coolest borders and insignias and titles just to get people to take you seriously.

All the bling

crimson wyvern
#

When the true level 50 doesnt have true level installed and sees you as under him, you at true level 200-300 something above him

#

but true level means nothing of course

distant mural
#

Cause nobody plays maels anymore

stiff glacier
#

I play them very selectively

#

I do not like havocs decreases in hp and toughness tho

crimson wyvern
#

In any game I take +more enemies on screen than +make the stats wonky.

But I realize thats a optimization issuse rather than balance

#

(to increase difficulty I mean)

#

The gold standard would be the enemies fundementally change appearence and attack sets and in havoc youre fighting higher leagues of chaos that do more interesting and complex manoeuvers

#

but thats money

distant mural
#

For example some enemys are red wich means that after they reach 50% hp they cant be staggered anymore

#

Now imagine 20 red ragers

Ammo conservation of veterans got so garbo since the update of 2023

surreal rune
#

really?

tepid mica
#

I just come back to the game since this update.

#

Before, you would get roughly 1% of ammo back for EACH specialist you would kill, no cooldown.

#

So, when you would see a mission modifier like pox hounds pack, you would replenish most of your ammo you consumed on killing said pox hounds.

#

Now, it's 1% (if you choose the survivalist aura) for every kill, locked by a 5s cooldown.

toxic reef
#

I mean that's a long time ago

#

a lot more has changed for vet since

tepid mica
#

Yeah, I see. But still, ammo conservation is very very very garbo.

#

Unless you go for a a lasgun

toxic reef
#

not really, there's still ammo pickups and if you pick a hungry gun that's on you

tepid mica
#

True, but also, meh.

#

When I see a psyker with unlimited ammo next to me, I kinda feel sad.

hollow ibex

#

Bro's feeling sad for the psykers

#

What kind of guardsmen are you

#

We call them WITCHES

#

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE

Will we ever get a heavier MG/Volleygun-type weapon? This art goes so hard, and it makes me sad that we don't have any MG's for the Vet

Vet has art with MGs

#

Arby has tabletop units with HStubs

#

Og is the only class with big weapons like that tho

midnight wyvern

ogryn with shield/GG

They could be saving it for the next class too?

Well Og has like really big machine guns, like browning 50 type machine guns. Can't the vet have lmgs?

Why would a hive ganger ever be MG focused

serene bough

#

Would be cool with like a kasrkin or a scion, but that seems a bit too similiar to the vet

since theyve made a lot of mention ingame that reinforcements are not coming its gotta be tied to whatever is local to atoma id guess

Id love a hot shot las, 2 problems. Backpacks, and it just being a lasgun but better

hollow ibex
#

it wouldn't be like ilas

yeah because we don't already have multiple flavors of lasgun but better

#

Any chance of a Skitarii making an appearance? Lorewise that is

serene bough
outer igloo
fair shale
#

Probably not, theyre the military branch of the admech and iirc we arent getting admech reinforcements

Lorewise they specifically work in groups too

#

Theyre all interlinked to eachother

#

Instead of a skittle I could see a rust stalker

#

Some sort of more independent creation

#

im guessing the new class will be tied to the current ration event + the upcoming mission where we fight in the trenches

I hope they give the vet a new toy to play with in the new update

Saltz Rapier was actually pretty fun tbh

silver patrol
#

in DT, the duelling sword is a light spam for hordes and a heavy spam for single target

serene bough
#

it just needs some buffs and hopefully more blewssings

tame lodge
#

It's ok to like mid things

fair shale
#

Idk how Saltz rapier is as fun as it is and DS is like, boring to use

tame lodge
#

But damn

#

Them blessings are a stab

serene bough
#

yeah its blessings are doodoo

#

the PS is going to pump more DPS by default though which will just make it better to the falchion imo

#

even if you were to buff/nerf stuff

silver patrol
#

PS could have five times the range and damage of a duelling sword and i would still not use it because it handles like doodoo

serene bough
#

it handles well

#

you just gotta slam the power button every 3 swings which is annoying

holy shit lmao

its an always take

even if you dont fight alot of ogryns

gonna run ilas+probably ds for carapace

did they remove the infinite ammo exe stance mortis indlugence or am I just unlucky

#

I am just doing mortis to finish the dialogue penance and I am at like a dozen games on exe stance and haven't seen it once

crisp oak
#

be methodical in one run lol

#

now all I'm missing is the fire team penance, mf one, kraks, smokes, and infiltrate

narrow frost
#

I used it for a melee vet in havoc

#

and for 30 min I think I used my ability like 5 times

#

so much uptime

calm shard
#

which one was be methodical again

calm shard
crisp oak
#

just realized I actually have to play the game to do the mf penance

#

feels bad man

#

can't just stand in a corner and spray a recon lasgun into a horde

narrow frost
#

melee vet with stance is very fun

#

1st time I use zarona revolver in awhile

calm shard
#

I think I prefer counterfire for very gun heavy exe vet

#

But making stance last 8 seconds would 100% be better for melee exe

hollow ibex
#

idk

#

i think for melee exe i'd rather have coutnerfire

#

more options to keep ult running

crisp oak

i iwsh mf counted on melee kills

Could Hot Shot on Hellobore make it so that you do not need Brutal Momentum on Tac axe VII or combat axes?

crisp oak

fairly certain hotshot doesnt effect melee

#

rip my bayonet

wish they made bromentum baked into the bayo

which weapons have high enough finesse to be worth taking mmf on

I enjoy using an ilas

still my favorite weapon

yeah vraks is insane

crisp oak

on vet

#

not even with mf focus

#

miss when it could kill 4 crushers in a mag

will do that

hot shot specifically

they did not fix it broadly

ah

bolt pistol lethal proximity still works for grenades

crisp oak

feel like thats intended now

calm shard
#

yeah we all thought that about Falter and Hot Shot

#

And here we are

crisp oak
#

does hotshot still affect the bayonet?

tall torrent
tall torrent
crisp oak
#

praise be

tall torrent
#

But

#

Bayonet’s damage distribution is horrible

#

So it doesn’t matter that much

crisp oak
#

I know

#

wish they gave it bromentum

calm shard
#

brutal momentum helbore lasgun

#

clearly the weapon needs more bufs

#

you know what why just bromentum

#

give it manstopper

crisp oak
#

when the bayonet got melee weapon blessingsa

#

bromentum let it horde pretty well

#

but it was broken with limbsplitter

tall torrent
#

Limbsplitter is not hard to fix

#

Just make it not reset CD on melee hit

#

3.5s CD for a +60% strength hit is pretty good

#

Effectively makes it better thrust

crisp oak
#

hmm limbsplitter thrust

slow spade
#

Lol yeah the bayonet days were funny

#

They were able to just wipe out bosses in seconds

@tall torrent do you know the triggers for special surge?

ok so according to that, surge has no pacing trigger, only RNG

that's what I wanted to know

technically speaking, it can proc off rush prevention I suppose

#

but that's not really an issue havoc

crimson wyvern

Just to be sure

I have gunners in the far off distance, further than a smoke bomb can lob.

If I lob the smoke bomb at my teams feet, are the gunners just as confused and must move closer to make out where we are?

NEW FRIPFROPS VIDEO

summer mason
#

figured you vet mains would get a kick out of this

charred salmon
#

is sperhead bolt gun just a upgrade of regular bolt gun?

calm shard
#

there is no "regular" bolt gun

#

they're all the spearhead

neon current
#

new boltgun is more of a replacement for bolt pistol imo

hybrid plover
#

If you're talking about the new bolter, its not meant to be an upgrade.

#

It serves an entirely different purpose.

neon current
#

I love it

#

but if you are used to magdumping og bolter

#

you prolly wont

hybrid plover
#

I like it a lot. I just wish the ammo count was a little better.

neon current
#

thats the thing

#

even if you "magdump" it

#

it fires so slow

#

ammo is never an issue

#

I usually end up picking up the least ammo on my vet using it

#

you gotta be considerate with the flamer zealots

#

and the rumbler ogryns

#

no amount of ammo is enough for those

#

I like it even more of my chorus martyr zealot, the stagger comes really handy dealing with dreg ragers

#

and reapers

hybrid plover
# neon current ammo is never an issue

Eeeeh. I've used it a lot. Even with trying to conserve it. Just that ammo count at least for me can be troublesome.

But then again I usually play havoc where ammo is way more sparse so that's probably the bigger contribution to that issue.

neon current
#

the nemesis of martyr zealots

#

I only play havoc

#

literally never an issue

#

but I don't like shooting to begin with

#

but I also play with people who literally depend on getting all ammo often

#

so I'm used to being low econ

hybrid plover
#

I tend to magdump when I'm aware there is a horde coming that's about to end up being a serious issue if it's not culled enough and those situations do end up draining me a little more.

#

But

#

Getting 100+ kills in less than 5 seconds can be a lifesaver in those situations

calm shard
#

I shoot waaaaaaaay more than I probably should

#

But luckily turns out "having good aim" makes ammo economy pretty managable

#

Even with bolters n' shit

#

I will then proceed to whiff half a magazine on a reaper somehow

neon current
#

dude

#

reapers

#

I just slide hipfire magdump with puncture pinning

#

you can kill em in 4-5 headshots

#

and new bolter literally has no recoil, not even hip

#

correction, it resets the recoil between shots I mean

Thankfully they grouped weapons by family for mastery

#

A likely story. There was a brief time where I used to just hang out near the armory fishing for dump stats I wanted for weapons I didn't want to spend the dockets on to spin at brunt's

#

Hold on to dead ringers and ones you don't want.

#

You can melt them down with other stuff you want to build mastery xp for.

#

Stuff you won't or don't want to use at all.

I forgot the links myself but there's mods and even a resource that got bounced around that should still be relevant in order to take care of the tedious process of menuing around with hadron

Exec stance, Infantry lasgun and Marksman's Focus is actually fucking good in H40 lmao. Oh and GHOST, holy that shit just lets me rip w/o taking dmg

shovel as in vet shovel or ogryn shovel xD?

jaunty sphinx
#

Vet

bold sierra
jaunty sphinx
#

Exactly lol

bold sierra
# jaunty sphinx Vet

I assume Cole was using frag? Serrated is one thing but idk if it'd be the sole bleed dmg dealer there lol

bold sierra
#

ah i see

#

how da heck you got so much bleeding tho damnnn

jaunty sphinx
#

I'm trying my best to not get a big head and fall for the bell curve but holy shit how am I constantly doing the most damage, most kills, least deaths and still my team beefs it

bold sierra
#

I use shovel a lot but I cant say I ever got "top bleed dmg"

slow sky
#

kraks are just "fuck this bulwark", "i dont want to deal with this armor blob", or "oh im capped on nades ig i can just throw one at this boss"

bold sierra
#

basically

#

kraks is the goat

bold sierra
#

that explains the crazy ass dmg too, that's basically similar to Arbites's shotgun hordeclear xD

jaunty sphinx
#

Double barrel is nutty, it's slept on if you aren't in the know

bold sierra
#

like w/ flechette, the few ppl I see play dbarrel never build for flechette, even less with manstopper

jaunty sphinx
#

I'll give it a try eventually but honest to god I just like plasma

#

It's comfy.

#

Reliable for an ape like me

#

I said I wasn't gonna take vet to havoc now I'm smacking dregs with shovel in 31

dry cloak
#

theres nothing wrong with using plasma

jaunty sphinx
#

Oh ofc

bold sierra
#

i stopped takign plasma ages ago, it became too brain-numbing lol, and tbh the new Bolter marks I feel does a heck a lot more personally

warm schooner
#

new bolter is a lot of fun

#

just been chillin in aurics and magdumping the entire map

bold sierra
#

it staggers easily, it actually great at hordeclear, especially with pinning fire, got great boss dmg, good dps for crushers, great for rager horde, etc...

jaunty sphinx
#

I'm at the point where Aurics are (usually) making me bored so now I've resigned myself to the havoc mines

bold sierra
#

playing Havoc so much, running Auric is just so numbing lol

slow sky
#

they told me "i thought we were talking about auric, not malice"

jaunty sphinx
#

Shovel ain't much better but it's more versatile (aka not as slow as a limp tortoise)

slow sky
#

if i used psword in havoc id eat so much shit

bold sierra
jaunty sphinx
#

It's so SLOW

slow sky
#

the damage is there but i need more than broken knees

#

das why shovel the goat

jaunty sphinx
#

I've fallen in love with the shovel it's just so reliable

bold sierra

pswords survivability is its good block cost and stamina economyh

rather than dodging

shovel has both

oh same shit I got lol

#

eh

#

tho i use the green one a lot too

slow sky
#

yeah shovel kinda stopped caring about breakpoints this update

#

if youre in havoc then these are just the armor types you care about the most really for melee

#

if youre in auric, who cares
a pushfollow kills basically every elite

hybrid plover
#

i honestly have never felt it lack against flak without the perk tbh

jaunty sphinx
#

Going back to auric felt like I was in fucking malice

slow sky
#

its maniac that it falls behind on, but not by much

#

but thats still only ragers and specialists

bold sierra
hybrid plover
#

which db is underrated at dealing with

slow sky
#

you can still boop them bap the ragers and if it doesnt kill em, 1 more light will

I'll just do more havoc tomorrow, hopefully pf isn't dead

Chat, im asking about havoc stuff

If i played havoc 1 on other player's matchmaking even though im havoc 20+ do i still get the level up?

bold sierra
#

you can only rank up if you play YOUR havoc level or above

#

2 ranks up if 5+ levels above, 3 if 10+ levels above

dapper coyote

Like 2 levels I think

Please Dukane give me more dockets so that i roll more Plasma guns to get the results that you wanted

As soon as all the material was obtained i instantly switched back to play normal missions

dapper coyote
#

I wished the bots changed alot more for every difficulty

#

For Damnation and Auric we'll get Inquisition troops like the ones in the Mourningstar

And more than just 3 veterans

I wished we get ogryn bots too

mental parcel
#

When using medi station, anyone else's screen warp slightly for a second?

#

Like the edges

reef island
#

hmmm is there a delay in skill trigger, like for the veteran shout?

slow sky
#

Define delay

#

If youre in the middle of another action, you cant cast your ability

reef island
#

hmm not sure if im mis-remembering, about 6 months back, when i activate it, its instant... but recently it feels like... it activate like half a second after

reef island
#

did they patch that some time ago?

slow sky
#

Thats how its always been

reef island
#

word? Felt different i remembering reloading my bolter and shouting at the same time

sonic kayak
#

You can use it to reload cancel still

reef island
#

yea, tho i think it doesnt trigger at parts of the animation

hot maple
#

if I have redirect fire stacks up after killing a tagged enemy and then tag another enemy with focus fire do they stack on the 1 target? I assume they do but not sure

sonic kayak
#

Are you sure you're not holding the ability button down? If you do, it shows the radius of the ability

reef island
#

hmmm it feels like the buffed veteran in some ways and nerfed it in others...

compact oracle
#

vastly a buff imo

reef island
#

definitely, they have a great deal more power at range now

compact oracle
#

you can use the guarantee ability activation mod to help with vocing consistently

#

but they didnt really change anything about it

reef island
#

tho the brittleness nerf? i think it was nerfed

compact oracle
#

what brittleness

#

onslaught?

reef island
#

yea, its 2.5% now, kinda odd

compact oracle
#

it was always kind of mediocre

reef island
#

hahaha yea, tho it didnt take that many hits to get its full effect

compact oracle
#

though i dont remember onslaught ever being changed

reef island
#

pretty sure it was higher value, helpful against armored targets when using a weapon that cant deal with armor

compact oracle
#

god reading fatshark forum discussions is something else

#

guy running no toughness curios, all health and corruption resistance..

reef island
#

ooooh, he is a fiesty one

compact oracle
#

this post back from mid 2024 still shows it at 2.5%

reef island
#

really? was it always 2.5%? unless i mis-remembered it for the weapon blessing

slow sky
#

Onslaught and nearly all the brittleness blessings use the standard brittleness debuff that applies stacks of 2.5% brittleness, up to 16 stacks

#

Since theyre the same debuff, they all contribute to the stack count, and all stop at the same cap

slow sky
compact oracle
#

i must stop reading redditor opinions

#

"power falchion is a contender with dueling sword"

#

just kill me

reef island
#

hows the new falchion btw? i still feel that its not as good as the power sword... or i might be too used to the power sword

heavy rover
#

damage-wise, the power sword still has the upper hand, especially if you use heavies and Sunder

dapper coyote
#

I'll keep that shit

azure narwhal
heavy rover
#

I find the moveset for the mk 1 falchion to be workable, i just wish it had that little bit of extra "something" to make it truly special

azure narwhal
#

I take the mk2 for the sole reason of its looks KEKW_ogryn

#

I do like uppercuts but admittedly mk1's push attack is very nice

reef island
#

and did they increase orgyn's HP? the crusher bois are huge hp sponges

#

8 bolter to the head to kill it, thats ridiculous

compact oracle
#

yes

#

they increased its hp. by a lot because crusher was a joke

#

that could only be a threat when sent in packs of 20

#

usually you just want to melee or krak them now

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Well

#

Comparatively to the power sword most things will feel lacking

#

Because it is one of the best weapons right now

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Though

#

At a base

#

By itself it can get the job done

#

I run cranial + wrath with unyielding and carapace

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Kiting is very important

#

Utilize your stamina well to slowly drag the horde behind you, giving you time to thin it out

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Attack the horde around the crusher, sprint back, attack a little more, repeat

reef island
#

dont tell the inquisitor tho

azure narwhal
#

I get that lol

#

Hey

#

Kraks

#

You are vet so you can manage anyways

reef island
#

i recently got more into the shredders, even against crushers

azure narwhal
#

Shredders used to be way better because kraks were worse

reef island
#

its a huge aoe knock back and mob clear, and 2 + couple of powered swings and they go down

azure narwhal
#

They're still very strong but so are kraks now

compact oracle
#

i still prefer shredders but kraks are great now ye, especially against bosses

#

just deleting the plogryn as soon as it spawns

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Kraks are a blessing for current rotten armour havoc

reef island
#

cept that slimy worm boss, he seems to eat everything

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Haha yeah the current event too

heavy rover
#

I like kraks because it becomes easier to hit priority targets with it

compact oracle
#

he has more health but he goes down easy, just shoot his back weakpoint

#

and kraks stagger him and make him spit your teammate out if he ate them

#

which is njce

heavy rover
#

isn't a direct shot to the mouth also considered a weakpoint?

reef island
compact oracle
compact oracle
#

but i think back spot still does more damave

#

damage.

heavy rover
#

ah, that explains why I can keep marksman focus stacks up

reef island
compact oracle
heavy rover
#

true, but at least I've got something to hit while I'm kiting it

reef island
#

is there a limit to bleed stacks btw?

azure narwhal
reef island
#

huh, thats a pity, wish they had more

azure narwhal
#

Well

#

Realistically

#

By the time you get to that whatever you're attacking will be dead

#

Very soon

#

It's just monstrosities

reef island
#

i need blood for the ehhhh emperor

azure narwhal
#

Tru

#

Grab bleed talent + knife + weapons specialist

#

Bleed it alll

reef island
#

small knife aint look good on a kreiger

dapper coyote
#

Knife + Serated Edge is fucking goated

heavy rover
#

serated edge as a whole is pretty goated

dapper coyote
#

It will carry you through havocs pretty well

azure narwhal
#

Really? I think it does. Krieg use bayonettes and knives commonly

reef island
#

never really used knife in my entire few years in this game, then again i didnt use the dueling sword much either

azure narwhal
#

Serrated edge works well with many weapons

heavy rover
#

I run serrated edge with sunder on power sword and it's pretty damn good a clearing a horde

reef island
azure narwhal
#

Yeah

#

Helbore

heavy rover
#

basically anything with good crowd control and cleave, serrated edge will help it a lot

reef island
#

they really need to give the helbore some actual melee blessings

dapper coyote
#

Serrated edge + The one extra dmg with bleed upon weakness + rending strike upon weakness = there's alot of dead crushers

reef island
#

cause im using it mostly to poke stuff

heavy rover
#

thrust on helbore KEKW_ogryn

#

...wait that might actually work
