Youtube recommendation jinxed it again (I know they're listening)
Your Veteran can do it better. Yeah this was pretty good actually. Needs a touch of refinement.
Don't believe me? Here's the game.
https://youtu.be/Wm2JGDpljAE
Build:
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a06053f2-5027-4a5a-8934-7bfacfe0ce03/reginalds-hsword40-vet
TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/reginald_sc9tk

yea can we get swift slaying back please fart shark
I don't think it's straightforwardly "melee scales better on z than vet"
cuz vet just hits harder
Vet didnt become a Vet by being a lightweight 
He the Boss. Ogryn said so

Kill
And do it again
Up and at em 🗣️
Oh and of course
I want these Karkers dead
What is plasma gun dump stat?
Finally got Adept Assassin done
Now I just need the rest of the Krak Grenade Kills and that is all of the ability Penances done for Vet
and then it is just doing missions to 100
kroog
Can someone gimme a rundown on the Heavy Swords (What mk is the best, what perks/blessings/talents to use)? I wanna try it in my build now
heavy sword is very unreliant on talents
all the things it wants to kill it just does with the usual general purpose damage talents
blessings are obvious with headtaker+deathblow
imo hsword is best used as a sidearm to super gun heavy builds
with bolter/helbore
yeah, that's mostly for non anti-armor melees, which is good.
My build is gun heavy alright, but with IAG and Kraks
tho i'll say, even dclaw and heavy sword deal pretty DECENT dmg to Crushers with overheads and stuff
honestly kraks is all you need
for armor
dclaw yes with parries hsword absolutely not even a little bit
dclaw can kill a handful of crushers if pressed
hsword cannot kill any
difference in dps with dclaw not parrying
dclaw kills them very quickly with parries in the equation
hang on I had a clip of a h40 crusher I posted here earlier
of course if you're having to melee a crusher while using kraks/helbore/bolter/whatever you've already fucked up somehow so
kinda moot point
I know about parry from dclaw, but normal heavy overheads from dclaw dealing roughly 1000-1200(with focus target and some right keystone path talents)-ish dmg on crit isn't SUPER bad, but ofc not reliable way to kill crushers obviously, a few bolter shots or krak is way faster no doubt. I'm just saying at least it's not NOTHING lol
same with heavy sword, but tbh it's worse than dclaw at that xD, cuz less crits and no parry
AGAIN, just clarifying i'm not considering dclaw and hsword as crusher-killers. Really aint their job anyway
even if you aren't using a gun that has good carapace just kill them anyways xd
you're veteran what is armor anywys
both dclaw and heavy sword suck shit against carapace
but at least heavy sword 1-2 shot everything that isn't carapace
while dclaw struggle against a lot of thing
whats a good power falc mark and whats the dif
like what
what specifically other than crushers
because dclaw is uniquely advantaged against a lot of things too
not just compared to the "can't kill carapace" trifecta
the most notable one is flak lmao
also can't clear horde for shit in reasonable time
parry isn't that good either
not even mentioning that it buggy as fuck
the flak thing is most certainly wrong for Mk VII dclaw tho
push attack+light
it sucks against crushers and that's about it tbh
or you can do like 2 other attack on anything else and hit more than 1 enemy or just kill
why zero buff?
if I wanted to test buffs the dclaw would one shot with skirmisher
like every other weapon with a strikedown does into flak
y'know
also I know the healthbar says 1700 but it's a h40 gunner
2312
what the mod for havoc modifier in psykarium again
just solo play and loading into psykhanium
dclaw being bad into flak doesn't really apply to Mk VII
where the dclaw does truly suck abominable ass and you can't do something about it is boss damage
good fucking lord these things suck ass at killing bosses
carapace it depends on heavily on how practical parrying is in the moment because it can kill a crusher/mauler really fast
if it's practical to parry them in the moment
I still think it suck against horde because while it have good cleave + wrath you have to do light which does fuck all for damage
mk1 doesn't have this problem but it also doesn't have easy way to switch to strikedown in middle of combo
mk1 is also objectively the worst
because its parry is worse than the other 2 for no reason xd
Mk VII also has a horde clear heavy
I just don't really think it's worth doing because lights are so much faster
yeah but light does no damage that my problem
can't kill things fast enough is bad
it does no damage to flak specifically
it does adequate damage considering its attack speed into other health types
but the flak on these sweepy lights is eugh
yucky
or i can do 1 heavy sword cleave heavy and kill all of them in 1 hit lol
I mean you're on vet you can use helbore
parry is good against rager but hs kill them fast enough I don't really miss it that much
I miss it a lot when there's more than like 4 ragers
bruh my ass dced twice from psykerium
that special can stagger them but it is slooooow
special is meh
dclaw solution to ragers is honest to god the easiest in the game
oh no a rager! press special rager's dead
get on with your life
kinda works into bulwarks too if you can get one of those fucking assholes to actually do an attack
I've been mogging ogryns and spawns for ages tho
yeah it's super easy to do into them it's just not...fast
it does kill melee twin very fast which is funny
just dump penetration it's not like it does armor damage anyways ;)
I dump cleave targets
Well against bosses you just parry tbh, dclaw can face tank boss attacks with ease and the parry counter hit actually deals pretty damn decent dmg against them. Ofc it’s most great against captains and LTs and plague Ogryn, good against Chaos spawn too if you can dodge the grabbing
it doesnt work well in havoc due to 20 other things
"face tanking" isnt enough
you need the mf dead
If I got my pc now I can show you the parry counter does really good dmg against them, it really isn’t just for face tanking
And tbh serrated blade usually does a lot of the heavy lifting
decent damage is pushing it
main benefit of dclaw is immortality
you can just keep boss on you while the rest of the team deals with elites and horde
It’s not beating chain weapons and power swords in terms of raw dps no, but for what it is and being able to face tank their attacks, it’s decent.
It’s reliant on enemy hitting you and parrying so yes
tldr only decent against chaos spawn + sword cap
yeah
the problem is you have no autonomy over your own damage output
decent agains chaos spawn because it's one of few weapons that does not need to be in ideal circumstances to avoid being fucked over by them
Plague ogryn too, at least that fucker doesn’t have any disabling attack, aside from the stomp but that’s not bad
plague ogryn swings waaaay too slow for the damage to be notable
I mean I hear that but it’s still sth.
plague ogryn attack way slower
- you can just use movement
all of his attack are easy to dodge except the charge
also maybe the stomp but that probably because i cant figure out mfs hitboxes
Either way, just apply bleeds with serrated blade is decent enough.
That goes for everything
Dclaw neg-diffs Rinda Karnak tho
daemonhost
the funny
Well, plus it has a janky timing. Harder to counter stomp in a horde situation.
hi, is "the bigger they are" ability in addition to the default executioner stance or does it replace highlighting human sized elite & specialist enemies
they're all additive to base exec highlighting, i'm 99% sure you'll never "lose" highlights by taking more nodes
thx
Those are pusies
Play with what you like
Skill issue
Dawg, they always grab every ammo
Its like they remember every spawn point of ammo cans
Yes, I'm saying the plasma gunner vets have a skill issue
Use a lasgun or autogun like a proper soldier
Or WS DB / Revolver
Melee wise
Power Sword 6 24/7/365
Ranged wise there's a good amount
this was old pre-rework meta post rework I don't think I'd reasonably place dueling sword in top 5 for vet
there's just so many better more versatile options
plasma also "suffers" the kinda same issue but I think it's still quite good
just fuckin' boring so I ain't using it any time soon personally
WS opens revolvers and DBs
Don't forget about Cshotguns too.
Bistols for nade memes
I love the combat shotgun on vet tbh
I wouldn't use db or revolver in havoc
cs is good though
but i wouldn't say "meta"
CS+PS my goat rn
pre rework psword still no diff ds lol
I am currently using WS revolver
For havoc runs
Surprisingly, it works as anti specialists
Zarona's or Agrippina's revolvers
And can be use as anti bosses / crushers in a crutch
Im still shit on melee so im taking anything that i can comfortably spam lights with no brain and not DS
double barrel is my go to "I need to carry these idiots" gun on vet xd
Same
the lack of range and damage is real
doesn't even need to be accurate because flechette bleed and min pellet count
I sniped some fuck ass sniper 30 meters away with DB
mpc doesn't help with db much anyway because you gonna hit body shot with db
it's not like cs or exe shotgun
horde clear so comically strong that it can literally drown out inferno psykers 💀
straight up if you are playing too good with double barrel you will fuck over your local inferno psyker
HAHAHAHAHAHA
True
because you'll kill the horde too fast and they won't be able to snowball soulblaze to contribute
Good, they deserve it
Lmaoooooo
that an overexaggeration but yes infinite cleave
the inferno psyker have to be fucking disabled to get outdamaged
you can get 3 kills with a single swing of most of vet's good melees
Chaff be gone
or stragglers survive the initial crit damage of the shotgun shot
and die to bleed when you swap back to your melee
which also counts
so you just shoot again
infinite cleave every time that one shots every enemy it touches
And if you have the on your toes perk in WS, you can straight up have a comically large regen
or well every non-elite enemy, usually takes 2 for elites
20% every 3 seconds on a very easy to perc keystone
Kill someone and then switch?
Boom, 20%
I did an entire match, putting a trial on modified Cole's build, i ended the game without using a single med station
Heal? Nah thx fam, im build incorrect
havic no work me sad
inferno is still way better it actually can kill mixed armor horde while db does nothing to them
the only enemy in a mixed horde db does nothing to is bulwarks
because shield
very sad
it's not great damage without uncanny into crushers either
maulers/scab ragers just die but that's not really special
I think I’m just ass but
The lasgun with the charge-up + bayonet
that gun feels so damn slow to kill specials
I rather use the tap fire lasgun
I also have a power sword now, thanks to the guy that suggested me to grind this
what is bro running
hellbore?
naw was questioning the gun itself so broski could learn the name. ik if you spec a build right it handles hella good. 
Run weight of fire and/or use partial charges on mk4
Use mkv
https://imgur.com/a/YzYeU9s pre-class rework but still
darktide progression continue to be ass
okay this is wayyyy better than what I have, I’m like veteran 11 dawgs 💀
like most weapons in this game lmao
Thanks fellas I will take note
It is probably the weapon that gets the absolute most return out of building for it on your talent tree though
Power sword feels fine tho, like I’m bare naked btw I haven’t touch any fancy smancy upgrades yet
Yeah don’t judge any of the weapons until you have good rolls 
nah wth???
okay man 😭
I really need to level up fast
That red stim thingy boosts damage?
i need your build in this
yeah
I know I don't run it in normal matches the way that I did in this clip so it's gonna be a bit from memory
ooh ok, whats's your main build?
the build in the clip is prob something like this
but this is how I normally play helbore for havocs
DS is overrated af on vet
flex points you can drop depending on weapon/preference are Born Leader, The Bigger They Are, Serrated Blade, and Trench Fighter Drill
Tinker for kraks is also unnecessary outside of Havoc
thanks
I don't think dsword was ever that good tbh
@calm shard which mark do you use for helbore?
I like Mk IV because one shotting crushers is Neat
dsword compliment psyker well and both vet and zealot have better option
psyker also has better option
ty thats what i have rn
force swords xd
mfs using force sword on staves
veteran using duelling sword feels weird, I rather have smtg that cleaves not poke poke
deflector is mid!
push attack is a guaranteed headshot
idk what melee to use besides ds and ps
I mean dsword also have uncunny
veteran has quite a bit of variety
I like the axe
I would say that like top 3 would be Power Sword, Combat Axe, and Tactical Axe
it may feel weird but stabbing bosses to death in like, 4 hits is satisfying asf 
hmm i'll try power sword first, gotta level it up
wdym by that?
But I think Vet's kit puts them in the uniquely privileged position of being able to make any melee work
Just because the melees that are bad because they can't kill carapace for shit
Veteran just throws a krak grenade at the guy, or unceremoniously one shots them with helbore
Can’t relate I’m too green, I’m a newbie lol
ill put caxe over taxe in ws build
true
or just spams heavies and lets serrated blade get the kill...
It's why I've been gaslighting myself into thinking the devil claw swords are kinda good lately
ive logged 140ish hours and im still a newbie dude, dw lmao 
I've been playing veteran so I don't have to interact with their primary crippling downside
damn bro, I played like 2 hours today
i have 200 hours and i still consider myself new lmao
decimator gaming
i went from 105 to 200 hours in 2 weeks
still low
Gaslight harder 🗣️
only thing i hate about the power sword is that you have to constantly activate the special
Oh I actually used shmaul for a few hav 40 runs a few days ago
It's good but not on vet and not in havoc
Okay this is crazy, for context I played like 1 year on DRG, and clocked around 500 hours
Did better than I thought it would
dedication my guy. ive owned dt for like 2 years
and clocked less
It's a shockingly good utility weapon if you are not the main melee player on the team
I'm just saying i wouldn't use it on vet
Since it rips through captain shields and can stun bulwarks
its the only game i play though idk if that makes it better
And hey weird coincidence veteran is not usually the main melee player on the team
i got darktide in like march
thats pretty valid
Ah that makes sense now
it pretty good on arby since forced skullcrusher proc with forceful on tanky mfs
yea ever since i got darktide i lost interest in other games
psword moment
i tried to get into vt2 when it was free but its lowkey eh
I got VT2 first before DT, I prefer DT I’m just too ass on VT2, skill gap is crazy big
hey it isn't psword fault for being able to cleave more than 5 enemy in h40
yea vt2 is way more punishing
But hey, free is free
i do like warhammer fantasy though
the humble 120 damage slave rat
yeah Vt is alot harder
lmfao ts crazy bro
Holy hell the rattling gunners suck
the rat that hops on you and stabs you is hell
no chance of escaping I just get mowed to death instantly
Gutterrunner
christ last i played vt2 was oct 2024
maybe i should redownload it
gutterrunner just pounce you right away instead of having to charge up
I listen to the sound and spam my dwarf hammer, PTSD reflexes never fail
plus they don't really have audio cue on pounce
engineer bardn go brrrrtttttttttt
gang that snipe was crazy
u prefer bounty hunter over WHC?
Sniped it’s ass to oblivion
I stopped having fun with WHC because they took the glass out of the glass cannon xd
I play all
went to playing huntsman and BH
which ironically perfectly mirrors my exact state in darktide!
~200 levels on all but elf, elf at 500
so far i like warrior preist and WHC
Weird!
oh lawd the suns up. goodbye rejects! 
Maybe I’m tripping, I saw Victor from VT2 on the hub area of DT
Used to main psyker, update makes them no longer glass and just cannon so I stop having as much fun on them
And now I'm playing WS and Exe vet
the spiritual successors to huntsman and bounty hunter
engineer bardin is literally baby mode
some cosmectis were given to players that have VT2
iirc
fucking troll hammer
like face shapes and hair
i main psyker
also, when plasma pistol gang cuz i needs me one
rumbler prequel
IB Bardin is the only Bardin
Tollhammer doesnt compare to rumbler

well
Maybe Slayer too
unsure
Oh I see, lmao I was so confused, Easter egg? SLAY THE HERETICS VICTOR
trollhammer just delete patrol lol
yeah
outcast with 11 teammate killing bombs
I would do this with a blue potion and a dream on WHC
yeah but oe can do it without getting into melee range
i tend to run handgun nowaday because armored elite
surgical and WOF best for helbore?
ye
is serrated blade needed if your running power sword
little extra damage against boss but i don't think it worth it since psword kill everything else in 1-2 hit anyway
use it with sunder to help your local ogryns/zealots
thx
"DWARF HUNTING" fixes that
this pov nauseating
why you people sacrifice so much visuals for just slightly more efficient view
do you also play at 15 fps or did you compress the video
I play at 120
it was a bad recording
I was trying the discord clipping
its not the best
understandable
win11 also has an integrated recording system too with gamebar
Is that the new map
yes
flying bombers
Those rats trippin'
What are some good blessings for the combat knife ?
Uncanny Strike + Riposte, Precog, Flesh Tearer (especially if running Serrated), Executor
If you take something like Rending Strikes or even Onslaught, you may be able to forgo Uncanny but Uncanny gets the best results without a doubt against armor
Ok I’ll give those a shot 👍
Personally think Uncanny + Flesh is the best if you run serrated
I do run serrated so I’ll test those two out first
bolt gun is so broken wtf lmao
flesher sorta depends on your crit chance to be good. Mercy killer however....
since your build gets you free bleeds, that's always on
oh no if only knife had some kind of...built in critical chance increase to help this along!
mercy killer is not that good
if only it had some finesse booster to make those headshots even stronger
on zealot, I do love an uncanny flesher for funny 80% crit chance super stacking...
on vet... eh... either way
Mercy killer I think helps the most with bosses and that's really it
Otherwise, Flesh is just far more generalist
And still gets very good boss damage regardless
it is more generalist, but it's also the same as what zealots run, so why not do something else?
variety keeps things interesting
Bcuz 60% weakspot damage isn't really much to cry home about
Like yeah true, but I honestly couldn't say it's one of the better blessings compared to those others I pointed out
I have 3 different knives, built differently on both vet and zealot, and they all work... mostly the same actually
so yeah, I think half the blessings on the knife are good in pretty much whatever combo with the right build, you'll do fine
uncanny stands high above all as a bit OP, but other than that...
Plus, there's the awkward contingency that the enemy has to be bleeding first before you can get the damage boost.
what are the most used melee weapons?
ds ps
and don't talk about power sword because I don't like having to constantly power up for every hit
I think everybody ditched power sword when they added the power falchion
Desperado and Precision Strikes are right there
😭
Idk I never see anybody using it anymore
Power sword is still stupid strong... Much higher highs than the falchion
And the best generalist in the game
They asked what most used is
Power Sword
It's just annoying to use so most people don't bother unless they're try-harding in h40
DS OR PS
I am using the shovel but it feels like I am using a wet noodle
Seems about right
Most used, ds, cause it's still a bit OP
So not most used
shovel is for roleplay
for veteran?
Never said it was.
I only see zealot using ds
huhh
Yeah I know but pink guy seems to think it is lol
ds is used a lot on psyker, and vet
I do enjoy jamming the spiky end in an enemy's skull
ds?
sorry folks im new here :p
It's probably the strongest... Just too annoying to use all the time and overkill in aurics
duelling sword
ahh okay ty
Bad weapon design from early dark tide
They've been getting better at it over the years but the ps is still OG trash design
I heard they only added the falchion cuz some people wanted to still have the old version
But it's strong so we sorta tolerate it
Who the hell still wanted that lol
I think it was a misunderstanding
People still wanted it to be as strong as it was
And worried that an ease-of-use rework would make it way too op or get it nerfed
So fatshark avoided the problem by making a new one
Not if it keeps it's dummy strong hits
Depends how long the battery lasts ig
But you see
It 2 shots havoc crushers with the right build. Being able to do that for several seconds in a row without the jank of constant activation, and 1 extra blessing as power cycler goes away...
That...
Which means that Fatshark would have to balance the unpowered attacks
It would need a big nerf if it worked like relic
Sorta where the falchion is now actually
And that's what people bitched about
The ps has much higher highs, at the cost of jank
Well yeah but like if you only get a few hits per recharge compared to relic blade I don't see the issue
Well
No I can see how it would be tricky to balance but not impossible I would think
would that not just be the same annoyance
Well nah cuz you click it once, do the phasy thing, get the couple strong hits and then go back to shootin
impossible for fatshark
You're not doing the special action after literally every swing
you have to lower your standards a bit ( a lot ) when talking about what is possible, balance-wise, in this game
can the twin stubbers on ogryn get more ammo
is power falchion any good?
and back off be reworked into something that benefits mag dumping so that infinite ammo rumbler is dead
It is mid tier
No, cuz the energized atks are far too powerful and the unpowered atks are fully useless
unremarkable in its okayness
Heat gauge means u will be forced to use both
fun tho
haven't taken it into havocs but it's fun in aurics.
love uppercuts in movesets
I like how SM2 did its power sword
Like two different modes with different movesets
The correct way of doing power sword would be the bonesaw/crowbar approach
Not this heat gauge thing
yeah and even that one ended up failing because turns out actually the slow sweepy mode is just better and single target is spam the one single target move they both share
because it does more damage
so despite having a complex moveset and a cool gimmick the optimal way to play it is to never interact with it
Bonesaw is basically “what if the falchion was made to be good”
😭
Overall mid
The stats are whatever
And oh god the blessing pools is horrendous
in the year of the lord 2025 we still getting blessing pools with 2 maybe 3 useful blessings
and all garbage outside
ps blessing pool is shit too
power cycler is obvious mandatory blessing
then sunder/brutal momentum are miles ahead of everything else
so dumb question but ive had the game less than 24 hours and have been wondering
is there respec for the mastery blessings/are you able to fully max them for a weapon type?
like how carefully should I spend those
when your mastery is max you'll have enough for all blessings
aight gotcha ty ty
throw em around ig it doesn't matter
you unlock them all by max mastery anyway
sweet!
what trips some people up is that unlocking the blessings in the mastery menu does nothing until you go to hadron and choose one of your unlocked blessing(s) to actually put on your weapon
o h
i did not know this 😭
I see, thank you that was not clear to me
average fatshark system
vermintide players in gacha hell for red weapons:
already in gacha hell in other games lmao, more gambling the merrier
I am still Madge about 3 red bows in a row with a class that I don't play
lmaoo
bro I still need to farm more reds I just don't have friends to do the deed glitch with 💔 💔 💔
literally 5 necklaces in a row 💔 💔 💔
What the fuck is the deed glitch?
host puts up deed vote and enters map menu
other person accepts deed mission and then host changes mission
deed modifiers and rewards are now attached to the new mission
Oh y'all are talking about Vermintide
yea
I'm in red item farming hell rn
literally cannot get anything other than necklaces
this got me when I was starting out, I was like "why aren't my buffs applying- OOOOOHHHH"
Im looking to play some Havoc after being a Maelstrom gamer for pretty long time. Can vet flex off of Plasma gun in havoc or am I going to be asked to always bring it? Ive been loving the new changes and have been playing exe stance and DB/WS doing well on it. But I know Havoc is a different ballgame.
vet has a lot of flexibility in ranged options now
he's actually (mostly) always had really good flexibility
Plasma
Helbore
Shotgun
Double Barrel
Bolt Pistol
Big Bolter
combat shotgun
Hell yea the combat shotgun is awesome too. Reddit be on some bs then. The difference in conversation is insane.
reddits always on bs
True
Vet should steal one of those fancy grenade launchers cadian shock troops use
Do note that due to ammo pickup nerfs on havoc, only a couple of weapons can be played as mostly ranged
the average shock trooper recon main:
All good more of a hybrid melee/range gamer myself. I cant stop playing WS.
how does ds deal with hordes?
leave them to the flame psyker 
It didn’t
Frag grenades
You just stay safe by dodging into the purg psyker 

The alternative is M1 M1 M1 M1 M1
Or having mk2
And going
Light heavy light heavy light heavy
Light
Heavy
(just use frag grenades)
lol
I was wondering are there any ranged weapon with a better scope, like more zoomed in? most guns your aimind down sights barely zoom in
ur gonna want to get the weapon customization mod
sometimes the game spawn a gunner or a sniper too far away

One of them has a church window for a scope
i really like the braced autogun 🙂
Rip
my condolences
haxing
What's the dumpstat of helbore
stability
thanks
How does it feel
YOOOOOO IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS????
This is from like half of a month ago but do you mind if you share the blessings on that weapon and the build, seems funny to kill crushers that way.
Also I wanted to ask about shredder grenades
It’s this one
It doesn't seem to be great against anything that isn't just chaff, but I don't know if I'm neglecting some kind of potential
You really need to drop 2 at once for killing things
Dropping one is mainly for stagger
Got it
Hrm, I need to completely rework my attempt at veteran melee build
I don't even have enough point for the rending strikes or other things
Rending strikes isn’t going to be needed on a lot of builds
It’s just pretty weapon dependent
How are the infantry lasguns on veteran? Are they decent? I haven’t used them in ages
they haven’t really been touched at all
I’m gonna play around with one for a bit, just for a change
Can’t hurt to experiment
I’m using the fast firing one, it seems alright
Ah yes
The one that has so much recoil you can’t even max out the rof at medium range if you want to reliably land headshots lol
That’s what I’m finding lol
The recoil is as bad as some auto guns lol
Based and heavy sword-pilled
A lot of these feel fine, but basically made irrelevant by the recon lasguns
25% from the rampage node
heavies get 25% rending when the duration of the ability is above 50%
so its only the overheads that get it, the specials dont
Makes sense
exe stance weapons specialist with plasma gun is fucking crazy how have i never used this before
ES goes hard with… just about anything
"YOU ABANDONED ME JUST LIKE YOU ABANDONED MY WORLD!" -Downed Cutthroat
I love this character so much
I couldn't stop laughing
cutthroat's lines are peak
Cutthroat is just peak
better than shout
Can anyone suggest me a good solid template for melee vet, I plan to use power falchion
Is it a cadian cutthroat?
Cutthroat is always Cadian lol
They're THE Cadian.
this is a good starting point
lmaoo that's almost exaclty what I have
Except I have Out for Blood
'Get back in fight' and etc
Weird to see no grenadier or always prepared
always prepared is mandatory on some guns, but this is just a generic build
Tbh I don't run always prepared with a lot of guns
I primarily enjoy it for like, DB
yeah
I take it anyway because Demoman
And Always Prepared because I 99.9% of the time run Bolt Pistol
Do I need it? Prob not
Do I love it? Yes.
I use shredders but I admit they don't strike me as super impressive
Is it fun? Very.
How
They are so good
Outside of like Havoc they are amazing
They don't seem to be great at clearing out anything that's flak
They stagger them
Tried to toss them into flak rager swarm and it didn't seem to do much
And deal a lot of damage
That's fair!
see the above
I did not have tinkerer also at the time too
shredders have been the meta vet nade for years at this point
Yeah!
it's only after the rework that kraks became competitive lol
Also would rending strikes be useful on power falchion out of curiosity
and now i rate them equally
Probably
Still take Serrated Blade
As well
War crimes are great
Gonna drop grenade tinkerer for rending strikes then

Oh no
Don't do that
Embrace the inner Demoman within you
Get ALL grenade talents...
Aha I'll experiment with that at some point but I'm just looking to try to pump my power falchion up more
yeah and combined with FT
Me like Combat Blade
I have cranial grounding and decapitor as blessings right now
yep
decap is really bad
basically never take it
Oh? Got it
Just not hard to do with like dregs
With horde clear in my eyes
Also my gun of choice for now is combat shotgun agripinaa MK VII with deathspitter and no respite
You really want manstopper
Why's that?
Doesn't it only proc off a crit? I'm always like hesitant on crits being required for some blessings
it's fine there but basically useless once elites start showing up, which in higher difficulties is... nearly all the time
Since I used to be ogryn onetrick
Let me show you something rq
and tbf i think manstopper agri's only good on specific builds
Fair
Goated perk
Switched it to the heat strength thing
Honestly the gun is more or less "Kill elite and or ragers in front of me"
It has okay damage at range to at least chunk a sniper in my experience
Kinda want to scrouge up a point though to get the ammo swap thing because reloading twelve rounds into the shotgun is kinda time consuming
Reload 2 at a time
Its a tube feed shotgun
You don't have to reload all the shells at once
Oh certainly it just gets bit distracting and having a luxury of having always having something guaranteed chambered to take out something nasty
Erm actually you're slow
Also wait Sirosky
I'm pretty sure it's a spas tbh cause i think you rack it to load it
why does Focus Target help with your falchion
It looks like it only does ranged finesse damage
Aye
i don't think it's worth using FT just for buffing falch
WS and MMF are both stronger keystones
i basically never take FT lol
Will there be any balance changes tomorrow
But I want trench 😡
VoC is going to 45s cool down.
i don't think we know that for sure yet
True. Does seem to be the way the winds blowing though.
For some melee I don’t think it’s needed
For most tho yes
Ffs..
Need that image of the soldiers with newspapers but with "VoC Dead" on the back
I’m actually so mad rn
That's not a sure thing at least for this patch
I don’t care about the viability
Is it still gonna be fun
I don’t like having to that long for my ok ability
I use a concentration stim and then hit it as often as possible while the ability is up
Tf you mean "ok" VoC has been nerfed like 4 times and is still one of the best abilities in the game
Honestly, I'm okay with it with the pretense that they don't touch or even buff the cooldown for it without golden toughness
Its great but not as good as people insist
Golden toughness is the real concern. It'd be stupid to hit the ability entirely because of that.
Tbh
It is a little on the weaker side nowadays.
Still good. But it is nowhere near what it used to be and it's noticeable.
And than they’re gonna nerf it again, and again, and again 🙄
Changing it to DR would be way healthier
Yep
Still provides durability but like
I've always felt that they should just make it that you get a percentage of damage reduction as long as you have gold
A reasonable and normal amount
Not literal immunity to toughness bypass.
Because it justfeels like they're trying to make a hard rectification of VoC that may in fact kill it more than anything
Yea stance vet is super strong
yeah because they know shitters would Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate gold toughness being nerfed
Vet is not a VoC only class
Yeah. But they'd also hate VoC being nerfed to 45s
Probably even more because that stagger has great value too.
What's chats opinion on the helbore
Vet hasn’t been a VoC-only class since 1.9+
Good
Excellent
Its cringe how liking VoC will make people think you’re a VoC crutching plebian
pretty good unless you are extremely built for it and the literal best gun in the game if you are
You can do absurd dmg numbers with HB
1 taps everything relevant at nearly all ranges for basically free
I just like the voicelines
Dont get me wrong, I love stance but I don't want to have another situation where it becomes the one really viable ability.
Nah
They actually made the VoC rez node bettter
Veteran is not a VoC only class 🤓
Never has been ur just bad
Don’t think it will be
Cuz gold TGH is still strong
It’s fine where its at now
I would rather they rectify golden toughness than the cooldown.
Yea woulda preferred that
They gave Veteran some love with the rework and than they’re going to start rolling out nerfs again 😔
Or get this.
Make it that the CD nerf only affects shout with Duty and Honor
I originally wrote like base ability 30s, D&H 40s
I would not mind at all forgoing golden toughness for the shorter cooldown.
Veteran is destined to be FS’s punching bag
I think gold being ~40s CD is fair
Vet alrdy 2nd best class and that’s with psyker being ridiculous
If psyker was actually a balanced class then vet prob first
We all know that's not happening. 
I don’t like psyker players
Which kind there's staff psykers and melee psykers
I dislike how they can effortlessly clear entire rooms before I get the chance to kill anything
Telepathy wizard vs just a guy
Both can get taken out back and kneecapped by a crowbar
If you can catch them
Psyker is straight up kind of annoying in the current state of the game
And the worst thing is how the game is being balanced solely by how broken they are.
Not for another 8 hours
we'll prob be able to add desperado HIV onto that list tomorrow too...
There’re no psyker nerfs in 1.10 iirc
Oh my gosh I’m so excited to face this horde… oh?… what?!.. you killed the entire horde with your auto aim needles… cool
vote to kick from strike team
What does all of these clown car spawns matter when you have constant infinite cleave and DoT propogation?
I mean the guy with the crowbar doesn't get added till then 
Oops, MORE CLOWN CAR SPAWNS
We should start kicking needles psykers from games
What should I run on my power sword?
Linux
I think highest melee dps after 1.10 is hvs then vet
If you want to beat a psyker just move faster (legitimately)
I can outpace them on vet pretty easy as long as they aren't a hyper aggressive purg player or smth
Carapace Unyielding
Power Cycler + Sunder
Psyker steps on everybody else's toes, especially those who rely on kills to get buffs
Thxxxxxxxxxxx
I used to use it alot before Chainsword
But this is also running an arguably just as broken setup so it doesn't exactly count
I don’t really care about stats or anything I just wanna play the game
But they’re so powerful they just kill 9/10 enemies and it makes the game so boring
Hvs >= vet >= psyker prob
And that setup, still requires you to actually play the game in a meaningful way
Using the power sword on vet gives me flashbacks to the “ PARRY THIS YOU FILTHY CAUSAL” memes lol
Throw needles
Profit
Psyker gameplay loop
If ur talking about DB shotgun then yea
I didn't mean just stats with this, if you want to beat a psyker to a fight you gotta get moving
Most pub psykers are pretty slow
My solution is kicking them from the game 😩
Or run WS DB and kill the crowd before they can rack up any kills
Kicking people for class choice is lame
It usually goes through so clearly other people are sick of them as well
Ooo neat I was allready running sunder and I just put power cycler on I was close 😄
Leaving if they run an annoying ass setup is fine but kicking is lame unless you're like 3/4 with friends
Ruining the game because your ego demands you farm scoreboard kills is lame
I wanna like bolt pistol but I like bolter better lol
I don’t care if a knight commander would of used a bolt pistol 😂
See now the other classes have to cater their playstyle and build just to have fun with a psyker on their team.
And when theres a hyper aggressive psyker? Good luck catching up with him
I run what's fun for me and perform well, its not meta chasing for me
I actively avoid gross shit like DS, power sword, most psyker staves, rumbler
Don’t like the double barrel shotgun? Too bad
Its like playing PD2 alongside a Risk of Rain 2 character
"We let the dog maul him and forgotten about saving him"
The only gross thing I don't avoid is dbarrel weapon spec because I've been using it for forever and seeing it climb from obscurity was fun
I have no sympathy for Psyker trolling
I out damage some inferno psykers using exe builds
Just because I have pretty good aim and killing specialists/elites en masse is the one thing inferno psyker doesn't do
Guys I’m so excited to fight this poxwalker horde they’re always so fun!
Oh? The pysker wiped the entire horde with 3 buttons… coool
Solo a Pogryn with revolver while conveniently forgot to res our pskyer
Every class can do this
I could res him with stealth
Its just a bit harder
But go ahead and sit at spectator for a few minutes
Activate needle, throw needle, quell. do it again
So ass
I will continue to refuse to play with pyskers until Fatshark addresses the balancing issues
Heres the thing, even with Exe you are putting yourself at significant risk (tunnel-visioned while ADS for example) to get that DPS, wheras the Psyker can just hover mouse in the general direction of the horde, while having better situational awareness, to output that same amount of DPS
This game only fun if psyker is ur friend in vc or no psyker in team at all
It is what it is
Zealot can just run at them with left click
Vet has infinite cleave ala manstopper or frags or extreme dps
Ogryn has rumbler or karsolas heavy hitter
Arbitrator has frag spam, dog explosion, mk3 shotgun, or juiced melee spam
Scum is also going to be horrific for this
I'm not at risk because I can literally out regen any enemy damaging me tho
just because I clicked a few gunners
Dogs and trappers
This
do you think I didn't already shoot them the second they spawned
I wish there was at least a settings option to not have ability affect FOV
My boundless contempt for the exe stance zoom in
It’s the sole reason I use constantFov mod
I use like 5 mods rn
Creature spawner
Inspect social
Power DI
Constant FOV
Danger zone
I've got like 60 or so but I think i could pull half to 3/4 and not notice
I could live with only two of the mods I use
I just haven't because I never need to update them
I decided to get danger zone exclusively because I kept getting hit by bs bursters that I alrdy pushed
Okay out of curiosity
It also keeps you informed of bursters behind doors and stuff that are basically silent
Tanner made a new video called "Havoc 40 bound by duty meta" and it seems to be an overview of all the metas of each class
I skim through and see that he didn't do dueling sword plasma but power sword plasma
Okay, a little cl- why is there slaughterer on the power sword
Yt builds are questionable at best
Especially Mr E stuff
I just wanted to see if he could get this right.
He did not.
Mfs sniff Shoe Glue cans on hourly basis
Broken clock isn't even right once a day this thing just goes
Slaughterer is a literal trap blessing on power sword
Guys, Caxe is bad!
The 4th best blessing on it
Why would you use anything other than bromentum or sunder
Especially sunder
But yea sunder unfortunately mogs every other melee basically
Also power sword kinda benefits quite a bit from stance
Mr E belike
Stun immune prevents the power cycler bug from happening
Which is that?
If energized atk hits an enemy right as the player is hit stunned, all remaining energized atks are lost
Stance makes u stun immune so u cannot lose energized atks
The one they "fixed", except not exactly
