We can usually not fuck up

#

The community at large tho?

hybrid plover
#

Like

tall torrent
#

stim pack and rampage are def their better ults

#

I think rampage hvs is largely just better zealot

faint beacon
faint beacon
#

I think it can be good also

tall torrent
fair shale
#

Desperado looks stupidly fun tbh

sly orchid
#

mandatory for havoc 40 no joke

hybrid plover
#

I hate to say it but I genuinely don't see where zealot is gonna fit after Hive Scum comes out

tall torrent
#

@sly orchid also I just checked, zealot even with martyr is less dmg than vet melee

#

not joking

hybrid plover
#

70% damage for playing the game.

tall torrent
#

vet hits ~15% harder

hybrid plover
#

Most of that also not just melee damage either LMAO

tall torrent
#

u can only make that argument for atk speed

#

but not dmg

fair shale
#

I think the executes on scum are gonna get goofy with crits

#

With that one talent

#

Attacks in this game can spike for like 3k damage

hybrid plover
#

I might honestly run rampage with all of the Chem bottom nodes and keystone

faint beacon
#

I only see myself using Akimbo Stub Pistols with it

#

cause they actually chunk Armor

#

shockingly

tall torrent
fair shale
#

Stub pistols look the most stylish so

tall torrent
#

and thought to myself

#

"cole said braced autos are good with hvs
is this it??"

fair shale
#

I want my BoPs back

#

And Stubs look hardcore like my BoPs

hybrid plover
#

Also I know the shivs are gonna be great on hive but uh

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

It occurred to me looking at the tree

fair shale
#

The shiv animations look so god awful i don't want to use them tbh

#

Wtf are those heavies

faint beacon
hybrid plover
#

Flesh tearer knife might be fucking dumb on hive scum

faint beacon
#

I only see myself using Stub Pistols

tall torrent
# hollow ibex brautos still cucked?

u watch this then ask urself if u think this makes braced autoguns look good

Wishlist Hive Scum now! https://fatshark.games/EpicCole_HS

a decent amount of changes were made to the class after this run, so I can't properly give a build for what was run, but if gameslantern gets the tree ill add a build of what i would run with the tree that launches with the update

cause they seem way more my style

Vet level of get hit once and fent fold immediately

hybrid plover
#

Animations don't look bad but they look way too close up.

fair shale
tall torrent
#

me watching that was just
"when does braced auto start being good"

faint beacon
#

Look all im saying is

#

If you play Vet without VOC

#

you're already prepared for Hive Scum in Havoc

fair shale
#

Tbh

tall torrent
#

stance vet is highest tgh gain of all classes by far

fair shale
#

Scum and Vets style of survivability totally different

hybrid plover
#

Yeah those aren't really all that interchangeable

fair shale
#

Scum is gonna rely on immunity instead of toughness regen it seems

#

Like EE on stimms

hybrid plover
#

Exe stance can make you tank gunners face first without dodging lol

fair shale
#

Lmfao yeah it can

hybrid plover
#

Hive scum is just gonna fucking die if you try that.

#

Literally fold like loose leaf paper.

tall torrent
#

how does hvs remotely compare to this

#

@faint beacon

faint beacon
#

Okay chill the fuck out

#

Im more so talking about how the moment your toughness gets below 75% with Vet you're immediately cooked

tall torrent
#

no u have close order drill

faint beacon
#

? The uptime is barely ever noticeable at times with how much carapace waves force your team to split up

tall torrent
#

it's not nonexistent

snow tundra
#

i love see this builds and drips, you people are pretty awesome

hybrid plover
#

This class has my name all over it.

faint beacon
#

Casually ignoring the Keystone locked "Immune to everything for playing the game" node

hybrid plover
#

It looks so god damn fun.

fair shale
faint beacon
#

Vulture's Dodge

fair shale
#

This class has my name all over it

faint beacon
#

Idk how that got past testing

hybrid plover
faint beacon
#

its literally EE but better

torn depot
#

Trying out Hellbore again

hybrid plover
#

I acknowledge it is Hella strong

torn depot
#

This is such a slow gun

hybrid plover
#

But the other keystones fit me better.

faint beacon
#

I see myself mainly investing into either Gunslinger or Chemist based builds cause like

#

if I want my squishy but fun melee Hybrid

#

I play Vet

sly orchid
tall torrent
surreal rune
#

i love vt2's gameplay but man you really feel just how shit the crafting system and matchmaking is

hybrid plover
#

I saw the prospect of an Angry Chemist with rampage and the right bottom talents

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

And I was SOLD

surreal rune
#

the matchmaking has gotten even worse because the servers cant handle the influx of new players

faint beacon
#

if you take that node

#

so it gives you breathing room when you're in exhaustion

tall torrent
#

I think u can get an avg melee to hit power sword lvl dps with it

hybrid plover
#

I thought of the synergy

tall torrent
#

+75%str is no joke

#

also

#

for stim

#

cd rate stim is by far the strongest

#

not even close

faint beacon
#

I was more interested in Chemist tree

hybrid plover
#

Of flesh tearer knife, rampage, with the nodes that make toxins afflicted enemies take more damage and also the node that makes enemies take 1 dot of toxin per melee hit

faint beacon
#

just cause Chem Toxin as a DOT is pretty fucking potent

hybrid plover
#

That's gonna be absolutely dumb

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

DoT abuse is about to get so much worse.

faint beacon
#

I gotta redo my Tree one moment

#

Seeing I had more time to simmer on choices

hybrid plover
faint beacon
#

LMAO

#

I could run taxe with the Crit = Chem Toxin

hybrid plover
#

This is nearly what I made when I was first doing this on gameslantern

tall torrent
#

like vet

hybrid plover
#

Right bottom just looks so good.

#

...just like vet

tall torrent
#

sample collector is kinda non-negotiable mandatory pick

faint beacon
#

This is a general rough draft of my Chemist Build

#

Im going to be doing a shit ton of experimenting

torn depot
#

Man, my Hellbore stinks

tall torrent
#

and get the 4 stack for keystone

torn depot
#

12% stopping power is painful

tall torrent
#

or get hypercrit on left

faint beacon
#

My ass forgot about Hypercrit

tall torrent
orchid hemlock
#

the crate is useless when your stim is on cooldown

sly orchid
#

this might be the play for me

orchid hemlock
torn depot
#

Man, can't use Hellbore when my teammates cant CC well

#

I aim better with the infantry lasgun

crimson marsh
#

Can someone recommend a melee weapon for me? I love allrounders that can handle both armor and hordes. Duelling sword has felt mediocre on hordes, but awesome mobility. Power sword has been nice, but clunkier combo and it's slow as molasses.

fair shale
#

Try Rashad Combat Axe tbh

orchid hemlock
fair shale
#

They don't like PS

lucid heart
#

yea they said they already tried ps

#

didnt like the speed on it

#

which is valid

orchid hemlock
#

they also wanted an "all rounder" and tbh the only melee weapon that I cna think of that destroys everything in the game is PS

lucid heart
#

it also lowkey got a fat nerf after the crusher changes

surreal rune
#

ps is doing just fine after the crusher changes

lucid heart
#

shovel, ds, knife, combat axe, chainaxe are all good all rounders

fair shale
#

Highkey it still 2 shots them ime

orchid hemlock
lucid heart
#

oh does it still?

#

i thought it was like 3 shot which means you have to recharge

surreal rune
#

even better because it can still 2 shot crushers whilst also crushers spawn less some

lucid heart
#

nice

vestal olive
#

Shovel because it bonks

fair shale
#

Push attack into strikedown headshots iirc

vestal olive
#

Bonk

lucid heart
tame lodge
lucid heart
#

i just didnt think it did it anymore because it was still a crazy tight breakpoint

#

thats my b

orchid hemlock
#

Tac Axe is probably Vet's best low investment melee atm

fair shale
#

The only issue with CAxe is that that thing is vanilla as fuck

#

Boring to use imo

austere mica
#

Caxe is boring as hell

lucid heart
#

yea i dont think theyre playing havoc tho if theyre asking for weapon suggestions

austere mica
#

Its like DS if it could cleave and had worse mobility

lucid heart
#

pretty much everything works below havoc

orchid hemlock
#

CA is kinda useless in general when you realize that push knife does everything it can do but better

austere mica
#

Light spam everything that isn't an armored elite

orchid hemlock
#

CA is an "anti armor" weapon but worse

#

provides no wave clear either, so you literally are Rock Leeing with it on

vestal olive
#

I learned the game (to not be booty) on combat axe and it was good for that

orchid hemlock
vestal olive
#

Oh

orchid hemlock
#

Rashad is extremly good on Vet there is no problems there

vestal olive
#

Chain charged attacks should be a lot more destructive imo, even if that would need longer charge times

lucid heart
#

yea they already told me abt it

#

i thought it lost the crusher two shot, it didnt

tall torrent
#

but first 2 hits leave them on like 300hp

#

and u get 3 energized atks

tawdry swan
tall torrent
tawdry swan
#

thought so

#

ty

orchid hemlock
#

the reason I said PS is that it has the best wave clear, the best mixed horde damage, the best boss damage, the best Cara damage, it CC ragers, it one shots mutants

tawdry swan
#

I havent played in a while

#

revolver still really good?

orchid hemlock
#

revolver never really changed, it's just that havoc removes a lot of breakpoints so it's usage has dropped a lot πŸ˜”

#

revolver still is one of vet's best below havoc tho

tall torrent
tawdry swan
#

ic

#

is there a resource for what blessings and perks to use on weapons?

tall torrent
#

I'll just tell u

tawdry swan
#

PS and revolver

#

I always liked the plasma gun too

orchid hemlock
tawdry swan
#

oh is the lasgun good again? the one that is basically an infinite red laser
last time i played it got nerfed pretty bad i think

tall torrent
tawdry swan
#

ty to both of you

surreal rune
#

iirc

#

has shocktrooper so infinite or nearly infinite ammo

#

it can perform decently

#

i think tanner lindberg had a build with it?

orchid hemlock
#

MF is by far the worst keystone for Recon

tawdry swan
#

if i take power cycler 4 off the mk3 i have, can i use it on the PS VI? or no

surreal rune
#

oh

#

it works completely differently now

tawdry swan

Oh it's off the levels right

what did he even do

orchid hemlock
orchid hemlock
# surreal rune what did he even do

what didn't he do 🚬

no I'm not joking I can write paragraphs

ironically, it wasn't what got him banned that was bad

it's what he did after that was significantly worse

tawdry swan
#

thank god

#

thats huge lol

orchid hemlock
#

also, the blessings are the same regardless of the mark for PS

tall torrent
#

prob easiest strong ranged weapon

silver patrol
#

plasma is easy to play too

surreal rune
#

also edgy internet jokes

austere mica
#

He, among other things, very casually advocated for harassing the CM

tawdry swan

I always just liked deleting everything with revolver

orchid hemlock
tawdry swan
#

But I just played damnation I didn't go higher

tawdry swan
orchid hemlock
#

I'm actually surprised the game doesn't have more players like Tanner

austere mica
#

It does, they just don't have a platform

lucid heart
#

he seems to have mellowed out from the last video i saw from him

austere mica
#

I still wouldn't trust him

lucid heart
#

trust him with what lol

#

im just watching his vid

austere mica
#

He has a repeated pattern of this kind of behavior across multiple games

orchid hemlock
austere mica
lucid heart
fair shale

I blame Tanner for all the dogshit Plas/DS vets with VoC in havoc

i just thought ppl hated him cus he was toxic and loud

i mean sure dislike him, but to actively sway people against him is a bit different

orchid hemlock
sly orchid
lucid heart

gotcha

sly orchid

This also caused him to be blacklisted by fatshark

surreal rune

id hope he has less of a pissbaby temperament now

tall torrent
lucid heart
#

i mean, i watched his arbites video recently, he seems a lot more chill

sly orchid
#

Hes trying but has slip ups

lucid heart
#

but im not here to sway ur opinion of him

#

just my observation

orchid hemlock
#

he also said in a public community post that: "Juneteenth is a fake holiday"

surreal rune
#

thats only really going to change if he has the personal integrity and humility to admit he was an asshat

tall torrent
surreal rune
#

but that rarely ever happens

tall torrent
#

he has no integrity

tawdry swan
#

I'm just like... I can probably guess lmfao

tall torrent
#

too much ego for his own skill to back up

orchid hemlock

let me see if I can find it, I should still have the screenshot

not what I was mentioning but wtf πŸ’€

distant plaza

wtf

orchid hemlock

oh ew

orchid hemlock
fresh spire
#

any reason why people use mk1 shovel instead of others in havoc? It has worse ttk into crushers than the ones with fold attack

hollow ibex
fresh spire
#

hmm

hollow ibex
#

very good utility on special

hollow ibex
#

it's just more well-rounded overall

#

i think it could still use a buff or two tho

this is actually pretty entertaining 🍿

hollow ibex

hank got ogryn nerfed? sounds based

also tanner using Baldwin IV in his post
get his name out of your whore mouth

#

KOH isn't much of a war movie tbh

orchid hemlock
#

i couldn't find the juneteenth post so I am assuming it was deleted

ancient wolf
#

Speaking of shovel and i might be dumb but, what is the difference between the two impact blessings? One says 20% impact on repeated hits for 2 seconds stacks to 5

Other says 25% impact on hit for 3.5 second stacks to 5…

Why would i NOT take the latter? Am i misinterpreting something?

orchid hemlock
#

the real question is why are you taking impact at all

ancient wolf
#

Because i thought it improved damage/stun chance?

orchid hemlock
#

impact is just your CC

#

it does no damage

hollow ibex
#

yeah impact just causes stagger

#

and the main thing is that shovel has insanely powerful damage blessings

ancient wolf
#

Oh neat, then i’ll swirch it to cleave and Uncanny strikes

hollow ibex
#

uncanny + deci/skullcrusher

#

for mk1

orchid hemlock
#

please dont take cleave either

hollow ibex
#

for mk3/7 you take uncanny + deci

tall torrent
#

Shovel doesn’t have cleave

#

Just take uncanny + Decimator for shovel

ancient wolf
#

I clearly have a lot to learn Wut

hollow ibex
#

i take deci and average 3 stacks

orchid hemlock
#

i prefer decimator just because skull is soo useless on bosses πŸ˜”

hollow ibex
#

yeah i prefer deci now too, even if it's fucking painful tbh

#

losing stacks

orchid hemlock
ancient wolf
#

Maybe with this change i can get ASS

#

Thanks guys

hollow ibex
#

ASS is worth it thumbsup_ogryn

#

best title in the game

#

true survivor? poxbreaker? can't top dis ASS

tawdry swan
#

What resource should I use for talent builds?

hollow ibex
#

best bet is to ask here

#

gameslantern public builds are usually shit

#

most youtubers are shit and just out to make a quick buck

#

all the nerds / number crunchers are here

tawdry swan
#

On veteran I kinda just like to have at least 2 builds to swap between, one more with shredder grenades and executioners stance, and the other with krak grenades and voice of command
all my talents have been reset and id rather copy good builds and maybe tweak than spend time figuring it all out so if anyone has some builds to share with me id appreciate it

#

I'm just gonna be using PS and revolver, maybe play arond with plasma and recon lasgun later

hollow ibex
#

this is the generic vet build

#

you can take any of the blitzes/ults you want

tawdry swan
#

thanks!

orchid hemlock
#

dam the worst take, I couldn't even see this coming πŸ˜”

tawdry swan
mystic lodge
#

Is it just me or does The Anarchist Hivescum just sound like...le joker?

hollow ibex
#

well you absolutely want duty and honor

#

if you take VOC

#

the rest is preference

tawdry swan
#

What do you think is the best place to put the 1 pt i have left afterward?

#

are any of the keystone modifiers good?

hollow ibex
#

depends on the weapons you're running πŸ€”

tawdry swan
#

ic

#

Oh the reason I have a pt left over is I missed a toughness node

hollow ibex
#

gotcha yeah you can move stuff around if needed, but it's a good starting point

tawdry swan
steel veldt
#

Every time I run Exe

#

I die

#

like wow

#

at least once I die per mission

hollow ibex
#

VOC is easier

#

it's a get out of jail free card basically

#

with ES you have much more sustain, can cover your team, and do more damage

#

but you can't just press F to bail your ass out of a really bad place

tall torrent
tawdry swan
#

ngl PS VI just makes me feel so weak against hordes I kinda just die to them when the randos i queue up with dont work as a team, the mk3 makes me feel a bit safer
do you guys just spam lights against hordes with VI?

surreal rune
#

the usual combos for the mk6 ps is block empower -> light, light, light

dapper coyote
#

I like stealth vet

#

Pop and res a dude

surreal rune
#

or push (but not push attack) -> light, heavy, light

#

single target is push attack, light

dapper coyote
surreal rune
dapper coyote
#

So fucking based

surreal rune
#

and thus you would either need a heavy to keep doing horde clear or do a strikedown which isnt good for hordes

mossy oasis
#

have people experimented with infiltrator grenade vet before?? I swear this shit is insane

#

like, since the big vet... well, nerfs cuz shout is no longer the best ability in the game, it feels like people still are not exploring infiltrate. Now ES is goated, sure but what about infiltrate? Its 30% dmg and invincibility... that first part is PARTICULARLY good for grenades...

mossy oasis
#

but it does make you practically

mossy oasis
# tall torrent it's ok

idk about ok. I think i would take infiltrate over shout for a grenade focused build any day now.

mossy oasis
#

what better way to support the team than to remove every enemy from the map periodically

mossy oasis
#

one lets you go in aggressively, the second is a safety net in case you need it.

#

makes it veeery hard to die.

tall torrent
mossy oasis
#

you want to pop infiltrate almost exclusively when you throw grenades anyway

#

or to do objective or to survive. You can make all those three line up if you try, i dont really feel i ever "need" more infiltrates when playing with two charges... if played relatively smart.

random steppe
#

I use infiltrate just to either revive someone, a crucial obj, or get outta a bad spot

random steppe
#

been using it to get that penance where you gotta suppress 750 enemies w it, working on my Vet penances

dapper coyote
#

For me its a "gtfo" free card

random steppe
#

yepperoni

random steppe
#

every single time

dapper coyote
#

I also discovered that im immune to netting and dogs while i pop invisible

random steppe
#

Helped a lot when i was helping a rando w their sub 20 minute, 1 wound run on zealot

dapper coyote
#

So when im surrounded and see several trappers and my revolver doesn't have enemies i just pop and book it

random steppe
#

facts lmao

dapper coyote
#

Nah thx fam, i never existed

#

What is the quintessential guardsman loadout?

dapper coyote

#

Knife or shovel

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

when vet got its rework

#

and stealth bomber became a thing

fresh spire
#

Any havoc modifiers where shredders outperform kraks? I feel like krak have become the dominant pick.

#

And even if shredders are better I might just take smokes so psyker can vent lol

mossy oasis
# hollow ibex made this build 2 months ago

I agree with everything in the talent tree except the toughness and movement speed node you picked up for no reason. Instead of those 2 you reeeeally need out for blood so frags replenish all your toughness and the second charge of infiltrate so you can play aggressive while still having a get out of jail card.
Also weapons here seem really random.
I think shock maul has best stagger synergy and you almost need a bolt pistol. Use the exploding one. That opens up so many synergies with stagger and explosions

mossy oasis
#

And of course 25% explosion radius... and still hits like a truck while letting you crit and snipe

hollow ibex
#

i picked move speed because vet is slow as fuck base

#

don't need o4b

#

because i don't have toughness issues

#

the weapons i picked are literally metaslave options

#

but ok

#

bistol's fine, but this isn't a grenademaxxing build

mossy oasis
hollow ibex
#

because i want to actually have fun with my other weapons

hollow ibex
#

any other questions?

#

and 10% move speed is quite noticeable btw

#

this is a cqc build

mossy oasis
#

You know what else is noticeable?

hollow ibex
#

speed to close the distance is very powerful

mossy oasis
#

Not dying lol

hollow ibex
#

but if you need toughness, take the toughness talents

mossy oasis
hollow ibex
#

and wdym

#

vet is a hybrid class

mossy oasis
#

Picking 5% movespeed over literally anything else there... i mean This is like going into an Italian restaurant and ordering a burger.

hollow ibex
#

you can and absolutely should melee on most builds

orchid hemlock
#

what is going on here?

hollow ibex
#

guy is questioning my stealth bomber build

mossy oasis
#

Idk guy is arguing that 5% movespeed node is better than out for blood

hollow ibex
#

where do i say that?

#

bro literally twisting my words because he can't cope with my preferences KEKW_ogryn

dapper coyote
#

Lmao

mossy oasis
#

Haven't heard that before. I would get it if he argued that picking some other node that gives damage or synergy is better but, this is a bit strange.

orchid hemlock
#

i might switch some of the bare nodes around, because I unironically think shredder nades are goated with rending strikes

slow sky
orchid hemlock
#

but it looks fine to me, what's the problem?

slow sky
hollow ibex
slow sky
#

Oops!

mossy oasis
dapper coyote
#

I don't use surgical + handcannon on my revolvers doesn't mean it's fucking horrible

mossy oasis
hollow ibex
#

it's my preference

#

because toughness regen nodes aren't actually very useful

dapper coyote
#

Preference doesn't always mean its busted

hollow ibex
#

if you don't need toughness chadgryn

#

get hit less, position better, move better

#

then you can get away with fewer toughness nodes

#

coincidentially, having better move speed might just help with that

orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
#

that being said, i completely agree o4b is a very good talent, esp with frags

#

and if you want to take it, i think it's a perfectly valid pick

mossy oasis
#

There is just no world im taking 5% movespeed over turning into every grenade into a full toughness replenish sorry. Not attacking you. Just... I really don't get it.

hollow ibex
#

it's often the only toughness talent i take

fair shale
#

Tbh my favorite toughness talent is still ET

hollow ibex
fair shale
#

It works on every enemy, it's immediate and then some

hollow ibex
#

vet feels sooo much smoother with 10% move speed

orchid hemlock
#

Maxx: o4B
Sirosku: 5% MS
Me: Rending Strikes chadgryn

hollow ibex
#

i do take ET on some builds

short agate
#

invisible vet makes about as much sense to me as eldar war plans spewed from a farseer... I need to do more experimenting

hollow ibex
#

but it's a lower priority for me because i can't hit weakspots

mossy oasis
dapper coyote
short agate
#

Thats fire

dapper coyote
#

Which can be a clutch tool

hollow ibex
#

invis is kinda cucked

#

but it's fun

short agate
#

fun is fun

#

and fun never changes

dapper coyote
#

And you get noclipping from enemies

orchid hemlock
dapper coyote
#

So you can just book it through the crowd and regroup with the team

fair shale
#

Tbh yeah lmfao

#

Id take every 25 toughness if the tree wasn't so long

hollow ibex
#

25 toughness is goated but i can usually only afford 1

#

path really values taking both

fair shale
#

Vet tree still feels like a god awful amount of tax sometimes

hollow ibex
#

surely

#

(because it sure as hell isn't coming this patch)

mossy oasis
#

To the 25 toughness node I would use sirosky's "don't get hit" argument and also "use curios" it's not about how big your toughness is. It's how fast you can replenish it. Works similar in sex too

short agate
#

bro the connection lmfao

dapper coyote
#

You need toughness in sex my guys

short agate
#

been enjoying lasgunners the most I think to make this more on task again

#

That new trench level. Were gonna shine in that.

hollow ibex
#

i don't see anything wrong with that statement

orchid hemlock
# mossy oasis Here

get hit less is not "dont get hit"

if anything, taking more toughness means you replnish more because it is based on your percentage max toughness

tall torrent
#

outside of new map & hvs

mossy oasis
#

Yeah me neither granted it's in the favor of the argument that you should take toughness replenishing perks instead of toughness increasing perks after a certain threshold

orchid hemlock

they are saying that more MS means you get hit less

mossy oasis
orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
#

not sure what you guys are arguing about at this point tbh πŸ˜„

mossy oasis
#

5% toughness replenishment from any kill is like, one of the best perks vet has guys what are we even talking about at this point? Like, taking 5% movespeed or a toughness node over that is simply not correct in the case of grenade vet.

orchid hemlock
mossy oasis
hollow ibex
#

what's correct will vary by player to player

dapper coyote
#

It's really up to preferences

hollow ibex
#

like i said, if you need more toughness regen, take o4b

#

i don't

#

i mean there's obviously bad builds and bad talents, but i don't think this is so cut and dry

mossy oasis
#

Perks that give you back toughness are generally better than perks that increase your toughness pool. You can have 500 toughness if you regenerate 25 toughness a second from abilities and murder. That's worse than having 200 toughness and regenerating 50 a second.

orchid hemlock
#

none the talents even being talked about except maybe the 25 toughness really change anything about the build if you switched them around

hollow ibex
#

if i was sweating in a havoc game i'd drop both move speed nodes, but i don't need to do that for auric

dapper coyote
#

500 toughness? On veteran? Sounds like a loner psyker dream

rotund tartan
#

hive scum needs at least 50 more base toughness to be auric viable imo

orchid hemlock
#

if you didn't take confirmed kill, then o4b would have much higher prio

hollow ibex
fresh spire
#

any reason to not take grenadier (20% extra grenade) in havoc? seems pretty essential to farm more rotten armor kills

mossy oasis
dapper coyote
#

The next thing you'll that the grey knights are real!

hollow ibex
#

i mean 25 is a lot tbf, but HIV does get a shit ton of dodge/invulnerability talents lol

slow sky
# tall torrent are there any balance changes next tuesday

Mk3 shovel got very tiny changes for like 2 attacks

Thats it for weapon changes

Arbites nade regen is now split on to 90s for shock mine and 45s for impact nade
Vet voc is now 45s and the revive node has both penalties removed (this change was in the patch notes, but not in the build we have, so I have absolutely no idea if this will launch at the same time, come soon after, or if it was scrapped and not taken out of the notes, like the impact nade says 60s in the notes but is 45s in game so idk dude)

And thats it for class changes

hollow ibex
#

vet voc at 45 would be πŸ’€

#

i don't even play voc

#

but a 50% nerf to cd? how fucking stupid would FS have to be

orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
#

using a tank to put a nail in

austere mica
#

They could also remove golden

frigid rover
orchid hemlock
#

people chose o4b on wave clearing melee, and CK for the single target melees due to the pathing

hollow ibex
#

CK's pretty much always up in HITSG anyway

slow sky
hollow ibex
#

don't need o4b when you have a steady stream of toughness just coming in

mossy oasis
hollow ibex

just so i can munch popcorn

slow sky
#

Thats what I proposed from the get go, and that was the generous option

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

by very tiny changes to mk3, he means removing the cleave cap... right???

orchid hemlock
#

Vet VOC isn't going to matter because of scum CDR maxxing 😈

slow sky
#

I proposed 120/90 and 90/60 for shock/impact respectively when initially pitching lone wolf regen

tall torrent
#

I originally proposed 40s for VoC as well

#

it's not far off

hollow ibex
#

but 45 puts it on infil levels KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

def not to me

#

but i think it's a dumb move

slow sky
#

But for some fucking reason
Impact is now at 45s cuz why not
It totally needs that and isnt already strong enough as it is

tall torrent
#

45s is more reasonable if they're to tweak tac awareness later

#

which they might

hollow ibex
slow sky
#

Id rather 30s and just gut gold

#

Like absolutely nuke it from orbit

hollow ibex
#

like 20% tdr?

austere mica
#

DR

hollow ibex
#

20 might be a bit low

#

but tbh i wouldn't mind 30 and gutting gold

#

if duty and honor gets something for it

slow sky
hollow ibex
#

could be ok

#

with the right numbers

mossy oasis
#

@slow sky and you saying that shout reviving teammates no longer comes with the cdr nerf?? That makes it kinda good no?

tall torrent
#

I think 25% TDR and +25% TGH gain modifier would be nice for it

#

if gold tgh is going away

tall torrent
slow sky
tall torrent
#

it's a hard ask for a niche application

#

I sent arthiio 3 high priority suggestions to vet tree, hopefully they make it happen next year

mossy oasis
#

If there is no radius downside, I see it ressing two downed teammates way more common... which makes it kinda good I think

mossy oasis
#

Might be worth picking up for 1 point now.

slow sky
#

You'd be spending 1 point from elsewhere tho in builds so it'll shake things up

#

However like I said

mossy oasis
#

Imagine how I could instead invest in 5% MOVE SPEED BABYYY

slow sky
#

These arent in the media build, only in the patch notes we were given

mossy oasis
#

OK im done with this fr

#

Bye chat

slow sky
#

So I cant verify if we're even getting it anytime soon

faint beacon

Comparing anything to psyker doesn't count

faint beacon
#

Shit what was Ogryns

#

Zealot naturally has insane CDR options

#

Shit looking at Tac vs Bruiser its literally just inverses of eachother

pseudo fiber
#

Zealot is basically "I want to use my ability now" and then it's off cooldown because they said so

faint beacon
#

Ones Elite (more common arguably)

#

other is only Specials

somber quiver
faint beacon
#

Cooldown Reduction

somber quiver
atomic void
#

ngl the nerfs they do are always funny

#

idk why

#

it doesnt solve anything

#

oh no the cooldown is 45 seconds and the vet killed 10 specials in 5 seconds so now its back

faint beacon
#

thinking about it shocked its only Specials killed by the Vet and not an actual true inverse of Bruiser where it can be from simply being near teammates that kill Specials

thoughts on Ghost for IAG? I'm not getting any value from 100% crit weakspot dmg except against scab gunners so i might as well take it

limber karma
#

hi, noob question, how am I supposed to use smoke grenades, do I throw them at the enemy to screen range damage or am I supposed to throw it on my teammates

austere mica
#

Drop on you

#

Or where you want to go

#

And its not really a noob question, barely anyone knows how smokes actually work

dapper coyote
limber karma
#

it does impede vision of my teammates though, wasn't sure if that was how I was supposed to use it

dapper coyote
#

Do not throw on DHs

austere mica
#

Its not that blinding

#

You can pick out targets with pings

limber karma
#

thank you

dapper coyote
#

Throw on Captain/twins to deny their guns

austere mica
#

You can throw them on burgles so they vomit less

dapper coyote
#

That too

#

Don't bother with melee stuff, they still gonna find you

#

And if you used krak for a very long time, please remember that you are using smokes and dumping all of them in one target doesn't do shit

#

You will do that at some point, realising that you have dumped smokes, on a boss

fresh spire
tame lodge
#

Weak Aura

calm shard
#

yeah it's called clear smoke

#

it's like kind of a cheat mod?

#

but smokes already don't blind you if you're actually inside them so

fresh spire
#

just allowed cheating

#

since all nexus mods are approved by FS

willow prairie
#

I wouldn't call clear smoke a cheat mod because its borderline mandatory lmao

#

there literally actual cheat mods on nexus though

#

notably psychward

#

or whatever the name is for the mod that literally give unconditional esp

fair shale
#

Psykernautics?

willow prairie
#

nvm i found it

fair shale
#

Idk how some mods are actually up on nexus

#

Psykernautics is genuinely cheating imo

willow prairie
#

trauma outline should be in the game by default fr

#

actually important information that isn't in the base fucking game like ult cooldown timer

#

or healthbar

fair shale
#

Nah I don't want enemy hp bars

#

They are aesthetically garbage

#

I prefer minimal HUDs where available tho tbh

willow prairie
#

enemy health bar give you important information that help with decision making

tame lodge
#

Enemy healthbars when there's 200 enemies active at the moment give or take

#

Sounds like recipe for disaster

willow prairie
#

yeah that just normal havoc

fair shale
#

I'd rather enjoy the aesthetics tbh

#

DT would look like shit with 497 hps bars hovering above everything infront of mes heads

willow prairie
#

bruh dog disable it for poxwalker

#

that probably the problem

#

😭

fair shale
#

I don't

#

Cy i don't think you get it

#

I don't care what advantage it confers

#

I dont even use the stamina bar on my screen

willow prairie
#

yeah but having options is better than not having any

fair shale
#

I just remember I have X dodges

#

If i start using mods?

#

I like the handicap, keeps things fair.

cinder wagon
#

And if suddenly 12 shotgunners spawn and half my screen is cluttered with healthbars I wouldn't be able to see anything

This game just isn't built for that

I got health bars on only for bigfuckers like crushers

Ogryns are probably the one enemy type where this would make sense

omg a 1% chance to do something? wow let me get that

mortal aspen

except it's not 1%

it's 5% per player per elite.
it's infinite grenades

dapper coyote

This % is for nade economy, more nades for you

umbral scaffold
#

I already have inf grenades though

dapper coyote
#

And you're vet, you'll murk alot of elites

dapper coyote
mortal aspen
#

you don't have spammable infinite grenades without demo

dapper coyote

You'll dump those nades like your life depends on it

1 per 60s is terrible for kraks/shredders

dapper coyote

Because it really does

Especially kraks vs bosses

Or Shredders vs crowds

I only really use 2 or three nades an entire auric match

mortal aspen
#

what

dapper coyote
#

Bruh

umbral scaffold
#

becuase half the time I never really need to use it, theres usually a psyker thats destroying entire hordes anyways

dapper coyote
#

Well in that case use that point somewhere else

mystic lodge
#

wait, does the damage bonus apply to the 5th shot forward?

mystic lodge
#

then should I go for Deathspitter or FF?

slow sky
#

What weapon is this?

#

Infantry auto?

#

Deathspitter and dumdum for that one

azure narwhal
umbral scaffold
#

only when theres hordes of elites

azure narwhal
#

I literally take field improv + kraks alongside other nafe buffs just so i can one man the carapace hordes in rotten armour havoc

#

One example

mystic lodge
azure narwhal
mystic lodge
#

wouldnt impact be bad for IAG since it makes the enemy stagger?

azure narwhal
#

Wdym? Why wouldn't you want more impact

slow sky
# mystic lodge why not Fire Frenzy?

Dumdum doesnt require kills and stacks up instantly
Deathspitter is strength so its multiplicitive with damage buffs which will take your total damage further

slow sky
#

Its why collateral is a dump on some guns, to avoid stagger breakpoints on them as they can be detrimental to kill times

azure narwhal
#

Stuff usually dies too quick for that to be an issue (in this case). But i am personally running exec stance + MMF so i guess it really depends on their build too

#

Anyway it does not excuse dropping dum dum of course

umbral scaffold
#

if only I could send screenshot as proof

dapper coyote
slow sky
#

Recons literally will cause a gunner to flail around before they die with 80% collat
