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 DT_wat

#

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

calm shard
#

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

bold sierra
mystic lodge
bold sierra
#

tho i'll say, even dclaw and heavy sword deal pretty DECENT dmg to Crushers with overheads and stuff

bold sierra
#

for armor

calm shard
#

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

bold sierra
# calm shard dclaw yes with parries hsword absolutely not even a little bit

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

calm shard
#

even if you aren't using a gun that has good carapace just kill them anyways xd

#

you're veteran what is armor anywys

willow prairie
#

but at least heavy sword 1-2 shot everything that isn't carapace

#

while dclaw struggle against a lot of thing

mossy monolith
#

whats a good power falc mark and whats the dif

calm shard
#

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

willow prairie
#

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

willow prairie
#

yeah point still stand

#

"eventually"

calm shard
#

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

willow prairie
#

or you can do like 2 other attack on anything else and hit more than 1 enemy or just kill

calm shard
#

name a weapon and I'll see

#

same build same zero buffs active

willow prairie
#

why zero buff?

calm shard
#

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

willow prairie
#

what the mod for havoc modifier in psykarium again

calm shard
#

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

willow prairie
#

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

calm shard
#

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

willow prairie
#

yeah but light does no damage that my problem

#

can't kill things fast enough is bad

calm shard
#

it does no damage to flak specifically

willow prairie
#

yeah

#

only the most common armor type in the game

#

lmao

calm shard
#

it does adequate damage considering its attack speed into other health types

#

but the flak on these sweepy lights is eugh

#

yucky

willow prairie
calm shard
#

hsword has much worse carapace than dclaw

#

and worse into bulwarks

#

and ragers imo

willow prairie
#

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

calm shard
#

I miss it a lot when there's more than like 4 ragers

willow prairie
#

bruh my ass dced twice from psykerium

calm shard
#

that special can stagger them but it is slooooow

willow prairie
#

special is meh

calm shard
#

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

thorn lark
calm shard
#

yeah it's super easy to do into them it's just not...fast

#

it does kill melee twin very fast which is funny

willow prairie
#

my ass can't get a single 60 mob dclaw

#

goddamn

calm shard
#

just dump penetration it's not like it does armor damage anyways ;)

thorn lark
#

I dump cleave targets

willow prairie
#

oh nvm i do have it im stupid

bold sierra
# calm shard good fucking lord these things suck ass at killing bosses

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

willow prairie
#

it doesnt work well in havoc due to 20 other things

#

"face tanking" isnt enough

#

you need the mf dead

bold sierra
#

And tbh serrated blade usually does a lot of the heavy lifting

ocean idol
#

main benefit of dclaw is immortality

#

you can just keep boss on you while the rest of the team deals with elites and horde

bold sierra
#

It’s reliant on enemy hitting you and parrying so yes

willow prairie
#

tldr only decent against chaos spawn + sword cap

calm shard
#

yeah

willow prairie
#

the problem is you have no autonomy over your own damage output

calm shard
#

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

bold sierra
calm shard
#

plague ogryn swings waaaay too slow for the damage to be notable

bold sierra
#

I mean I hear that but it’s still sth.

willow prairie
#

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

bold sierra
#

Either way, just apply bleeds with serrated blade is decent enough.

#

That goes for everything

what's considered "meta" for vet rn

#

i keep seeing plasma and dueling sword with voc

Play with what you like

Me playing vet with blue infantry autogun and a chainaxe:

#

Or the agrippina shotgun.

Plasma MF when 1 can of ammo was taken by anybody but them

feral bay
#

Skill issue

dapper coyote
#

Its like they remember every spawn point of ammo cans

feral bay
#

Yes, I'm saying the plasma gunner vets have a skill issue

#

Use a lasgun or autogun like a proper soldier

dapper coyote
tame lodge
willow prairie
#

mostly just iag, helbore plasma

#

duelling sword is ass on vet

calm shard
#

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

dapper coyote
#

Bistols for nade memes

fair shale
#

I love the combat shotgun on vet tbh

willow prairie
#

I wouldn't use db or revolver in havoc

#

cs is good though

#

but i wouldn't say "meta"

fair shale
#

CS+PS my goat rn

willow prairie
dapper coyote
#

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

calm shard
willow prairie
#

it have too many problem that I don't think infinite cleave fix

#

imo

dapper coyote
#

DB + on your toes

#

= inf toughness

#

Also its comically accurate for what it is

willow prairie
#

the lack of range and damage is real

calm shard
#

doesn't even need to be accurate because flechette bleed and min pellet count

dapper coyote
#

I sniped some fuck ass sniper 30 meters away with DB

willow prairie
#

mpc doesn't help with db much anyway because you gonna hit body shot with db

#

it's not like cs or exe shotgun

dapper coyote
#

Its great with WS

#

Like really fucking great

#

Smack, switch, shoot, repeat

calm shard
#

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

dapper coyote
#

HAHAHAHAHAHA
True

calm shard
#

because you'll kill the horde too fast and they won't be able to snowball soulblaze to contribute

fair shale
#

Good, they deserve it

dapper coyote
#

Lmaoooooo

willow prairie
#

that an overexaggeration but yes infinite cleave

calm shard
#

it really isn't

#

double barrel's horde clear is immediate and very quick

willow prairie
#

the inferno psyker have to be fucking disabled to get outdamaged

calm shard
#

you can get 3 kills with a single swing of most of vet's good melees

dapper coyote
#

Chaff be gone

calm shard
#

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

dapper coyote
#

And if you have the on your toes perk in WS, you can straight up have a comically large regen

calm shard
#

or well every non-elite enemy, usually takes 2 for elites

dapper coyote
#

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

sharp epoch
#

havic no work me sad

sharp epoch
calm shard
#

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

silver patrol
#

and crushers

#

like, it damages them (a tiny bit), but they kill the cleave

calm shard
#

yeah I guess that's fair

#

I'm used to shooting around them

#

I think I’m just ass but

#

The lasgun with the charge-up + bayonet

but this is how I normally play helbore for havocs

I would say that like top 3 would be Power Sword, Combat Axe, and Tactical Axe

wind gyro
still dove
#

hmm i'll try power sword first, gotta level it up

crude widget
calm shard
#

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

ill put caxe over taxe in ws build

Did better than I thought it would

Hey smaul is usable

wind gyro

and clocked less

calm shard
#

It's a shockingly good utility weapon if you are not the main melee player on the team

willow prairie

I'm just saying i wouldn't use it on vet

Since it rips through captain shields and can stun bulwarks

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

gilded raft
#

flesher sorta depends on your crit chance to be good. Mercy killer however....

#

since your build gets you free bleeds, that's always on

calm shard
hybrid plover
gilded raft
#

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

hybrid plover
#

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

gilded raft
#

it is more generalist, but it's also the same as what zealots run, so why not do something else?

#

variety keeps things interesting

hybrid plover
#

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

gilded raft
#

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...

hybrid plover
#

Plus, there's the awkward contingency that the enemy has to be bleeding first before you can get the damage boost.

Why does it even work that way

Power maul has a cooldown after the special

#

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

leaden condor

I heard they only added the falchion cuz some people wanted to still have the old version

gilded raft
#

But it's strong so we sorta tolerate it

leaden condor
#

Who the hell still wanted that lol

gilded raft
#

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

leaden condor
#

I mean

#

Giving it a relic blade style battery woulda been fine I reckon

gilded raft
#

Not if it keeps it's dummy strong hits

leaden condor
#

Depends how long the battery lasts ig

tame lodge
#

But you see

gilded raft
#

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...

tame lodge
#

You can turn it off

#

So you never overheat

gilded raft
#

That...

tame lodge
#

Which means that Fatshark would have to balance the unpowered attacks

gilded raft
#

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

leaden condor
#

I like how SM2 did its power sword

Like two different modes with different movesets

tall torrent
#

The correct way of doing power sword would be the bonesaw/crowbar approach

#

Not this heat gauge thing

calm shard
#

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”

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

hollow ibex
#

It’s this one

uncut pewter
#

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

hollow ibex

Dropping one is mainly for stagger

uncut pewter
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Rending strikes isn’t going to be needed on a lot of builds

#

It’s just pretty weapon dependent

uncut pewter

Would power falchion count as one of those?

Also what blessings was on yours?

Just not hard to do with like dregs

Also my gun of choice for now is combat shotgun agripinaa MK VII with deathspitter and no respite

fair shale

Goated perk

uncut pewter

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

fair shale
#

Reload 2 at a time

#

Its a tube feed shotgun

#

You don't have to reload all the shells at once

uncut pewter
#

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

uncut pewter
#

Also wait Sirosky

fair shale
uncut pewter
#

why does Focus Target help with your falchion

#

It looks like it only does ranged finesse damage

hollow ibex

that's MMF

#

FT is the middle one

where you tag something and it takes more damage

fair shale
#

Aye

uncut pewter
#

Ack I misread, tanks

#

Honestly

#

Might swap to that

#

Not sure

hollow ibex

i don't think it's worth using FT just for buffing falch

Golden toughness is the real concern. It'd be stupid to hit the ability entirely because of that.

hybrid plover

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 🙄

They just need to specifically target golden toughness.

Not VoC itself.

austere mica

Changing it to DR would be way healthier

hybrid plover

Yep

austere mica

Still provides durability but like

hybrid plover

I've always felt that they should just make it that you get a percentage of damage reduction as long as you have gold

austere mica

A reasonable and normal amount

hybrid plover

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

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
