69 thermal methinks

There used to be this guy who had it as his name

#

Hmmm

#

Nope cant find him

quick shell
#

gottem

#

and if i am not going for an optimal plasma

#

what's the best standard dump?

narrow frost
#

thermal if you are poor

quick shell
#

is dumped thermal 7 shots then?>

#

an an extra 9 is the breakpoint for 8?

sharp trail
#

if i have 72 in thermal resist and 68 in charge is that still preferable over just doing a thermal dump

dclaw killing things that's scary man

What is special of dclaw? 😮
Was that a parry?

parry

yeah it's the only attack on the dclaw that actually kills things kekW

Color me surprise, didn't know we had parries in Darktide, not like that at least

on dclaw and dueling sword

I know what meele I am leveling up next lol

quick shell
#

wait

gleaming sun
#

Roger that, Dclaw and Dueling Sword are next ones on the list

quick shell
#

hmm

gleaming sun
#

Almost nice

quick shell
#

It's not perfect

#

but it might beat out charge dump

#

sorry

#

thermal dump*

gleaming sun
#

Mine has charge rate to 60 I believe
Or was thermal resistance? Can't remember now

quick shell
#

u better hope its thermal

gleaming sun
#

Damn, now I am worried lol

#

Nope, is charge rate

quick shell
#

time to get a new one

gleaming sun
#

Well fuck, now gotta find a better plasma

#

I upgraded that one

#

Imma gonna shoot something

quick shell
#

spend three billion dockets on getting a perfect

Or wait for my favorite servitor to get me a good one

#

(Hahaha, if ever)

hasty holly
#

Just buu a random plasma gun from melk

gleaming sun
#

I'll check later, as I am not home, but I swear is charge rate
I swear by the throne...

#

So, charge rate -at least- till 69%, roight?

quick shell
#

OR

#

just dump thermal

#

thermal dump is cheaper, but not as good

#

significantly cheaper

gleaming sun
#

Time to spent my 50k coins

azure narwhal
quick shell
#

yeah i found it earlier

#

idk

#

i have a 72 thermal 68 charge now

#

idk if that beats just dumping themral

should I snag this from the vendor?

Snag it

Don’t need a perfect plasma roll if you’re not a plasma user KEKW_ogryn

#

I fare just fine with the one I use but I hate the specificity of the spread.

#

And how often the game just gives me the spread...just swaps the two fucking numbers.

gleaming sun
spark helm
#

And then I feel stupid having spent all my dabloons on a roll I can honestly do fine without but want just enough to seek it out. And I already got just about everything I want already between nearly every class.

#

My luck usually isn't like this. Perhaps I am being punished for not fulfilling the game's aquilla tithes for years.

#

Personally, I'd just look for a thermal dump

gleaming sun
#

Asking here, as I barely know, is that noticeable that 1% difference?

Talking about the plasma 68/69% charge rate and the 71/72% thermal resistance

narrow torrent
#

Just blame any deaths on that 1% difference KEKW_ogryn

quick shell
gleaming sun
#

Fair, fair

#

Just wanted to understand, it surprises me how a 1% difference is one more shot or not

sonic kayak
#

It's ultimately a rounding thing

#

Sometimes 71% doesn't actually get you 8 shots, they say 72% because it's guaranteed

gleaming sun
thorny egret
#

I hate my stats being odd numbers so I'm taking the 72/68 lol

native hemlock
#

Im trying to Twins Hard, and have a veteran, but I'm not sure on build. Is a dueling sword+ Plasma with toughness curios going to be good enough?

gleaming sun
#

Usually the plasma and Dueling Sword is like the havoc "meta"
So so far so good I guess?

native hemlock
#

I followed guides on games lantern and am not totally noobish (juat not great), but we did one run and my arbites just does not output enough damage I think, I was last one standing and got overrun

scenic oracle
#

I still like lasgun the most

scenic oracle
#

Have your team mates protect ya

native hemlock
#

I am not good with ogryn and psyker. Just cant make em work. My vet already has 99% of the stuff I think lol, just minor tweaks unless they require a different build

scenic oracle

Yeah go mark vet and you should be fine

native hemlock

Mark vet?

Focus target, not weapon specialist?

Oh I see why

Yup...that's it my SSD is dying can't even load models :"")

For my curios, should I be dumping everything and just taking 15-17% toughness instead?

It's also important to know why things are bad or good because sometimes the data being shown is literally incorrect

#

Thanks Fatshark KCDragor

native hemlock
#

Like why no one uses lasguns

#

Prayge

orchid hemlock
#

Because all lasguns are decent

native hemlock
#

Any of them as a baseline, especially below like 40 on the stat bar. Too ammo inefficient, not enough damage unless punching down

thorny egret
#

I love all my lasguns

orchid hemlock
#

How are lasguns ammo inefficient?

They literally are all the most efficient guns in the game

gleaming sun
#

I love my lasguns, but the helbore, we don't speak about the helbore

orchid hemlock
#

I'm not even trolling

native hemlock
#

They dont use 1 for 1, they have like 54 ammo but at the start a single shot uses like 13 ammo

thorny egret
#

The ammo efficiency is incredible on Helbore

gleaming sun
orchid hemlock
#

Shock Trooper makes it so that when you crit with a lasgun, you don't consume the ammo

native hemlock
#

The one you can get at level 17 if you beeline

tall torrent
orchid hemlock
#

even without it, some of the lasguns are pretty ammo efficient

#

ILAS and Helbore are very ammo efficient

#

ammo inefficient weapons are like boltgun or plasma gun

tall torrent
#

everything is ammo efficient if u melee enough

gleaming sun
#

Yeah, I was so used to the las guns that going to the bolt gun is a new world

#

Struggling with ammo

gilded pike
#

the boltgun is a delete specific cluster or panic button

orchid hemlock

yeah ammo issues on Vet ussually is because people play Vet like a Psyker

oh right to be clear am not saying spray :V

native hemlock
#

Idk i know youre not wrong and they have lots of ammo, just that when I joined before arbites, they left a bad taste in my mouth with how they were not 1-1

orchid hemlock
#

what is not 1-1?

native hemlock
#

Their ammo usage

orchid hemlock
#

Arbi has no way to replenish ammo, Vet does

#

Vet I also think has better range nodes to make Bolt Stronger in most situations, which means less bullets needed

native hemlock
#

I started before arbites lol

#

So when arbites launched and just felt better

#

I was incensed by the infantry lasgun

orchid hemlock
#

well then it might just be anecdotal

but regardless, bolt gun is not as ammo efficient as other weapons

I could run like, caxe or taxe I guess? idk if just kraks are enough anti armour though

rotten armor isn't really a "damage" problem it is making sure you have the melee weapons and CC to deal with the crusher hordes

oh, this was the entire topic of conversation

in any event i would argue dsword is boring because it is strong, which isnt a universal rule
swoocing around like a duelist with a snobby nobleman's saber is a fun aesthetic, or a 'mood' in the parlance
if it sucked and didnt do any damage, some people would still use it

also i laugh when pressing the dodge key with the Mk V one and it moves me to a different zipcode for some reason

Hotshot lasgun (not hot shot volley lasgun that you see NPCs use in game) is already represented by one of the infantry lasgun marks or helbore lasgun?

agripinna hits hard, colmnus is the middle ground and vraks is basically a smg

calm shard
#

agri hits hard, columnus has zero recoil, vraks has the highest dps of any gun in the game

glacial beacon
#

Well that's definitely not true

#

2nd maybe

calm shard
#

bolter loses out because it has to reload

#

and then the vraks fires 40 more bullets xd

#

bolter has higher burst damage, but worse dps

still dove
#

thoughts on recon lasgun in havoc?

calm shard
#

pretty good, but usually your build will end up favoring other weapons

#

especially with the vigilant autoguns being the new king of the "low gun investment" guns

still dove
#

hmm ok

still dove
#

wouldn't the left keystone be better

calm shard
#

if you have a power sword and kraks what do you need the rending for

#

also no not for recon lasgun

#

recon lasgun only benefits from middle keystone

still dove
#

ah ok

calm shard
#

it has bad critical and weakspot damage so it doesn't benefit from MMF's massive finesse boost, and it's a fully automatiuc weapon so Weapon Specialist's one guaranteed crit doesn't do much for it

still dove
#

i understand

I prefer power Saber, thing is awesome, I've never cared for the power sword

Newish player here, I'm working on a double barrel shotgun and power sword + weapon specialist build rn I found on YT, but I am failing to see how the double barrel can cleave enough to do meaningful horde clear.

I'm getting enough melee kills to proc the guaranteed shotgun crit for the cleave, but unsure what makes this good enough to take over plasma or recon las.

epic cole has a video showcasing the playstyle

Both one of my favorite builds to play, and one of the best builds in the game (though still super slept on somehow)
Fast paced, versatile, and loads of damage, with even higher damage potential in a good game, all while still requiring you to be engaged so the playstyle is rarely ever dull

hollow ibex
pearl falcon

I figured it did

hollow ibex
#

and WS

pearl falcon
#

That's what the build I'm following does, yeah

#

MS + flech WS

hollow ibex
#

kill 3 guys with melee -> gurantee crit on DB -> take out DB and shoot, killing at least one enemy

#

switch back to melee

#

repeat loop until everything is dead

#

this is against 50 bruisers lol

#

you can see how fast the clear is with DB

pearl falcon
#

Ooooo

#

Thank you, the visual helps a lot

#

I've been practicing on Damnation and I think I haven't had the time to just sit and check if my cleaves are doing things like this

calm shard
#

you see it's actually infinite cleave

pearl falcon
#

Infinite?

calm shard
#

yes

#

infinite

#

if it does not hit a wall or something that blocks cleave it will go through it

#

no matter what

#

it is only stopped by walls, carapace armor, and bulwark shields

pearl falcon
#

So basically a tiny lil railgun

calm shard
#

if you want a tiny lil railgun you use the agripinaa combat shotgun

#

the one with the slug

#

it has the same blessing

pearl falcon
#

Oooo

calm shard
#

those are havoc 40 maulers btw

pearl falcon
#

Is there any reason I would take the DB over the combat shotty?

calm shard
#

it has flechette, and better damage anywhere that is not further away than like...7 meters or so

#

it's better at close range

#

and killing crowds because of the wide spread+comical damage

pearl falcon
#

Aaaaah okay

#

I may need to practice getting closer when firing then

#

Thanks for the info all, very helpful

calm shard
#

well double barrel is kinda just

#

delete a direction kinda gun

#

you see a bundle of enemies you don't wanna deal with and you just shoot once and they're probably all gonna die

calm shard

unless they're crushers

hollow ibex
calm shard
steel barn
#

Cool, thank u

#

What about perks tho? Flak/Carapace or Maniacs?

#

Or like something else entirely?

narrow torrent
calm shard
#

Since it can't kill dreg gunners without it

#

and +maniacs it still can't one shot specialists so

narrow torrent
#

Oh snap

#

I sometimes run it on my Scum. It’s a fun time

calm shard
#

people run bolt pistol almost exclusively because lethal proximity makes all explosions bigger

#

which includes shredder grenades for veteran

#

and kraks also get like a fraction of a meter

steel barn
#

Didn't think unarmoured would be one for bolt pistol

#

Flak feels like the obvious one tho. I'll try maniacs, i'll try unarmoured and see which I prefer. If I have too much trouble with gunners from it then yeah i'll go unarmoured

hollow ibex
#

dreg gunner

#

but bistol breakpoints suck ass either way

#

unless you crutch on WS crits

#

or go full ranged build

steel barn
#

I'm just tryna do Comissar larp on Vet so that's why i'm runnin bolt pistol rn, idk if I should pair it with like power sword, power falchion or like chainsword maybe tho

#

This isn't meant to be like a high tier build, just something for funnsies basically

hollow ibex
#

pswords always good

calm shard
calm shard
#

comissars use those too and it's a way better gun

hollow ibex
#

and has superb mobility

#

so it's actually quite fun

calm shard
#

if you are signing onto gun vet and want mobility you are playing the wrong archetype

#

you will equip the helbore/bolter be slow as fuck and LIKE IT

hollow ibex
#

i can have both firepower and mobility

#

what are you going to do about it whatthefuck_heresy

steel barn
calm shard
#

most things are better than bolt pistol

Crazy

#

I saw someone make a build with a bolt pistol and chainaxe on gameslantern and immediately thought "nope" tbh

hollow ibex

good instinct cuz public GL builds tend to be pretty shit

Is there a way to make like a generalist Vet build where it doesn't really matter too much what weapons I use with it?

25? 50? any idea?

ye like 125 or 150% of original value

Is it possible to get “Make Every Shot Count” with a Spearhead Boltgun? Somehow I am stuck on that penance

Looks like 1.6 for the original.

Im just spamming the train mission

#

That one you dont need the gun anyway

still dove
#

marksmans focus or focus target for a spearhead boltgun build

frigid vine
calm shard
#

on the other hand a more relevant damage boost

hollow ibex
#

finesse damage boost is pretty good on bolter tho

surreal rune
#

focus target also allows your team to deal more damage to bosses and redirect fire simply gives an all-around damage boost to everyone

#

marksman's focus only gives ranged finesse boost to you. the bolter is already clunky to use to snipe, and isnt ammo efficient if you want to use it so often

#

you would already hit the same breakpoints that marksman's focus would give you with focus target, with less point investment into only ranged damage

hollow ibex
#

bolter's primarily a sniper weapon to begin with

#

on vet

#

and is pretty ammo efficient as long as you're sniping

#

and MMF isn't dependant on pinging

#

it just works

#

and it gives reload speed (which bolter loves) and one of the best toughness restore talents, tunnel vision

#

because a sniper bolter build would/should be using ES

#

if you want to use FT i think there's better weapons for it

#

though bolter FT is still perfectly good and fine ofc

surreal rune
#

m youre right

#

the person asked for a bolter build, not a build that happened to use the bolter

hollow ibex
#

FT's fine too, i just prefer to focus on personal benefits because i only play with pubs

#

FT is wasted on pubbies

#

it's basically only good for bosses which you won't have problems with either way when running bolter

frigid vine
#

Is there a list somewhere to see which damage type is against what enemy?

gilded wraith
#

gameslantern is the best that I've found.

#

So on my melee I probably want Flak and Carapace?

austere mica
#

Depends

#

But generally that is a good pick

frigid vine
#

And then another question, for the chainsword: the Shred blessing, it says chained hit. What is a chained hit? Is it when I turn the special on? The chainsaw? Or is it a series of hits so a chained hit sequence?

hollow ibex
#

chained hit means repeated hits

austere mica
#

Consectutive hits without missing

hollow ibex
#

melee hits

#

yeah no missing

frigid vine
#

Ah okay perfect thanks

gilded wraith
jaunty tinsel
#

or it did, i havent seriously studied it since the stam rework

quick shell
jaunty tinsel
signal juniper
#

Im new to the game and reaching level 23, does the weapon level matter at all?

jaunty tinsel
#

yeah but not until ur level 30

#

better to just save up money until then

signal juniper
#

Yeah i have 100,000 money by now

quick shell
#

weapon level determines how far you can upgrade weapons

signal juniper
#

I have weapons with 360 level and such but im guessing for now it dont matter

jaunty tinsel
#

nah not until max level bcuz u cant even get fully upgraded weapons yet anyway iirc

signal juniper
#

So just keep playing with whatever i like then

narrow frost
#

while leveling try new weapons

#

and only try to get a perfect roll weapon when max level

signal juniper
#

Yeah i already tried every weapon for veteran, i like the 8 round boltgun that just makes people disappear with one shot

gilded wraith
#

Same goes for curios, you won't see 410-430 rated until level 30 generally.

signal juniper
narrow frost
#

go to brunt, roll grey weapons until you roll one with the dump stat being at 60%

rustic hemlock
#

what's the best gun for a special/elite focused sniper type build?

similar to what handgun kruber does in vermintide

gilded wraith
#

(second weapon category in brunt's where you can pick the weapon style, not the random weapons that change every 30 minutes)

#

Helbore if you have good reflexes and don't hate the charge mechanic.

signal juniper
narrow frost

#

Im guessing if i want that gold shine on the weapon equipment screen i need to take that grey weapon and level it up all the way

jaunty tinsel
narrow frost
#

yes

#

they all have their pros and cons

jaunty tinsel
#

it also happens to be one of the best guns for MMF period

narrow frost
#

rustic hemlock
#

what's mmf

jaunty tinsel
#

marksman's focus

quick shell
#

marksmans f

#

yeah

signal juniper
#

Boltgun my beloved

gilded wraith
#

Left tree keystone.

jaunty tinsel
#

the one that's all about shooting good

#

i use it with recon and it kicks serious ass, but helbore is technically better

signal juniper
#

Recon is pretty good, i like it more than las gun

jaunty tinsel
#

im a recon truther, i never use anything else unless i have to do a melee build or im leveling masteries

gilded wraith
jaunty tinsel
#

once u unlock ur 8th chakra about range and height you can just park your recon at that level and the spread will guarantee weakspot hits

jaunty tinsel
#

a horde of groaners is basically just a pinata that gives me 15 mmf stacks

#

and then i delete crushers after

#

the only thing i really don't do super well is bosses, so i make myself more useful by wiping out the adds that show up with them

#

let the zealot with his goofy thammer build 2shot the boss

gilded wraith
#

running infernus on it, or something else?

jaunty tinsel
#

infernus, onslaught, dum-dum

#

ik people swear onslaught is a meme but u just gotta know what it helps with and what's better to switch to krak with

gilded wraith
#

gotcha, should be okay boss damage... there's just a lot of ludicrious boss damage out there right now

jaunty tinsel
#

i think the problem is that unlike in other cases you don't really have any way to build MMF stacks against a boss

#

and thats where i notice recon goes from good to insane

gilded wraith
#

onslaught got a lot easier to reach post rework, most of the hate is what you had to give up to reach it pre-rework

jaunty tinsel
#

pre-rework was also pre-HP buff funny enough, where i actually could just recon against anything

#

now ironically even though its technically more efficient i had to give up shredders for krak

jaunty tinsel
#

see what i mean?

limpid sand
#

I just got a 60% mobility lasrecon, should I upgrade it or is there anything else I should be looking for

hollow ibex
#

doesn't matter though

hollow ibex
jaunty tinsel
#

i see a lot of benefit from it in general against other elites like ragers

hollow ibex
#

if you're hitting nothing but the body and you're not running infernus, then sure... but why would you ever do that?

calm shard
#

I say as though I didn't literally use the Mk XIV recon lasgun as an argument for why pickpocket is not the reason behind gun scum being too strong xd

hollow ibex
#

i would take the XIV over XII

calm shard
#

Like I used it because it's such an everything gun

#

And can easily run deadshot just by unga bunga shooting everything

hollow ibex
#

i feel like deadshot is mandatory on XIV

#

if you're not going to run deadshot, just run VI

Cause i tried with a few weapons and it feels like the best proccy is reconlas

primal zealot

naturally recons gonna be the best at proccing it due to its rof

#

is there such a thing as a build that makes the brauto melt crushers ? i have some vague memory of hearing about that but it was ages ago

It probably exists in the really impractical realm

if you are poor do 60% thermal

Path after releasing the Vet guide:

golden flicker
#

can u run the revoler on vet ?

#

or is still plasma best in slot ?

narrow frost
#

plasma is not best in slot

#

and yes revolver can be run on vet

#

its really fun

#

I use it with exstance and shovel

golden flicker
#

could you tell me what i should do for a good revolver ?

#

also if plasma is not then what is for ranged ?

narrow frost
#

The guide in pins have every little detail you'll need

golden flicker
#

ok

#

ty

narrow frost
#

and more

#

just depends on what you need

#

there really isnt a "best"

golden flicker
#

shotguns ?

narrow frost
#

there are pros and cons

#

yeah

golden flicker
#

that's insane

#

haven't played in a long time

quick shell
#

why is it? they've always been good

narrow frost
#

the slug on the combatshot gun is insane

golden flicker
#

so to know shotties are back is kinda weird

narrow frost
#

I probably have a video somewhere of me using it

golden flicker
#

also the steam community guide link isn't working for me

quick shell
#

i need to look into some more vet setups tbh

narrow frost
#

are you on pc?

golden flicker
#

ye

narrow frost
#

copy the link and paste in your browser

#

see if that works

quick shell
#

how would you feel about chaxe and db for hav40?

#

hmm, nah prob not

#

getting a shotgun and running psword shotgun sounds nice though

atomic void
#

ah steam is down

#

for a lot of people

narrow frost
#

and weapon specialist DB is always fun

quick shell
#

yeah

#

im concerned about rotten armour

#

im kinda shit with the psword though

#

and mixed feelings on shovel

golden flicker
#

is the shovel actually good ?

#

last i played the dueling sword was the shit

primal zealot
#

theyre both still good

blazing jetty
#

Shovel is nice

uneven kelp
#

Shovel is stupid

#

It is literaly a shovel but it can have the blessing that gives 125% rendering

#

so with a shovel you can kill crushers like if they aren't even wearing armor

blazing jetty
#

when the strike is uncanny

uneven kelp
#

The MK1 (the only one that doesn't fold) has a special attack that makes literaly anything drop to the ground in 1 hit to the head btw

blazing jetty
uneven kelp
#

the dueling sword is better to kill single targets aka elite, but the shovel hit like armor doesn't exist while also beeing very good against hordes

tame lodge
#

So uh

#

Half full glass
Or
Half empty glass

#

Make your choice

uneven kelp
#

Looks strong to me, though. Are others weapons just that much better ?

tame lodge
#

Yeah

golden flicker
#

wait which shovel is the one that does both ?

#

and also the guide doesn't work lol

hollow ibex
#

1 is more versatile

quick shell
#

im not sure what id want out of a shovel ngl

#

maybe i do just give chainaxe a go

#

i could also try caxe but idk how that'll perform into armour

narrow frost
#

its great

#

but boring

quick shell
#

i have used it a fair bit

#

i think i just need to play with the psword a bunch

#

and get better with it too

#

i always end up eating hits vs hordes

ya know why cant we vets be able reload while sprinting?

i've not tried it yet, but there's a revolver blessing that lets you shoot while sprinting, does it also allow reloading?

#

also, the other classes can do that?

unreal nova
sly orchid
vagrant dagger
#

What melee goes best with revolver? I'm using a devil's claw sword rn because it has the crowd control keyword and +10% infested damage

#

i got a blue axe recently but it seems like a single-target anti-armor thing and i already have the revolver for that

analog mural
#

Power sword, combat or tac axe, knife or DS, all strong options

#

Axes have strong clear once you put brutal momentum on them

vagrant dagger
#

i forgot what level i am, but it's a single-digit level. no power sword

pine plume
#

If you're single digit level then just play the game, you can be concerned with weapons once you can actually afford them

vagrant dagger
#

k thanks makes sense

#

there's so much to learn and unlock. this is precisely why i refuse to play tf2, there's decades of sweat to contend with and it's pvp too

analog mural

I would recommend checking the pins for some guides to help, each class chat tends to have some useful info in the pins. Kuli's guides are also great and give lots of supplementary info

Unfortunately there’s only ever been 1 good veteran upper body cosmetic released (that doesn’t run into any major issue)

floral creek
#

This one

#

And it’s the rogue trader upper body

floral creek
#

Oh the pirate looking one, I confused it for the one that had a bluish grey color. That one wasn't rogue trader, it was some noble house.

tall torrent
#

Arms don’t break (as visibly) in first person animations

#

Clipping between trinkets on armor is tolerable

#

Doesn’t render weirdly with holes in clothing beyond 5m

#

Somehow this is a really high bar to match for vet upper body

floral creek
#

I guess I understand how upset you get with clipping though.

#

A major reason why I dislike armors and syandanas in Warframe lmao

tall torrent
#

I tolerate clipping where it’s not clipping all the time

#

If it only clips with specific animations it’s like, fine, I’ll let it pass

#

But the other 2 are the bigger issues

#

Most cosmetics don’t render arm enough

#

And the game renders every character at lower detail beyond a few meters (which makes some cosmetics just have holes in it or have other weird artifacts)

lyric path
dry cloak
#

no

unkempt lodge

Do we have any upper body cosmetic that matches this Krieg officer?

68-69 thermal
71-72 Charge

For numbers shenanigans

The goal is 8 uncharged shots before thermals throttling.

Pain in the butt to craft. Max it before you customize blessings in case the stat distribution shifts when it's empowered.

what does range strength finesse do?

hollow ibex
#

finesse and strength are two different things

cloud reef
#

marksmans focus

#

maybe they forgot the ,

hollow ibex

oh that's just increasing ranged finesse

#

so crit/weakspot damage on ranged weapons

quick shell
#

how good is the plasguns ammo economy in havoc? it feels pretty tight

cloud reef
quick shell

very small pickups and not really much ammo back from armour

that is a weird description. pretty sure it's just finesse

hollow ibex

wtf

hollow ibex

what they're trying to say is just ranged finesse

cloud reef
#

ranged finesse amount?

hollow ibex

don't get me wrong, still a substantial buff

but it's finesse, not strength

would be insane if it was both finesse and strength

what do you guys do against the chaos spawn with a power sword? i am sitting in a psychanium trying to 1v1 it and i just lose

hasty holly
#

no

narrow frost
#

thats a problem then

#

the game plays around lag compensation

hasty holly
#

wouldnt lag be worse

narrow frost
#

and offline modes (true solo and meat grinder) have no ping

#

no

#

makes it easier

hasty holly
#

i have like 130 ping or smth

#

certain attacks you cant dodge with no lag comp

#

but with lag you do

#

I can get a clip real quick

#

with 88 ping

hasty holly
#

ty

narrow frost
#

also

#

dodge like this

#

here is with 0 ping

#

the tumble forward attack has an easier time hitting me

#

its hard to exactly tell

#

but being around 60-90 ping helps the most

stark holly
#

im using combat axe with brutal momentum and headtaker, but it seems pretty underwhelming into both hordes as well as carapace

#

maybe I am not really understanding the differnce between the different marks and when to use what

#

but tactical axe just seems much better?

narrow frost
#

what mark for Combat?

stark holly
#

mk5 antax mostly, but ive experimented with the others too

#

for perks im using 25% to carapace and 10% to elite

narrow frost
#

try rashad

#

before you reach your verdict

stark holly
#

whats the main difference between the marks? Other than the swing patterns ofc

I like the mk2, but I've heard MK15 is better at single target I'm unsure havent looked much into it despite my own enjoyment

hm yeah. just that 15 has a silly PA

quick shell
#

it's sort of preference but imo mk3 has a better moveset

#

it's a bit more complex though

sonic kayak
#

Ironically I enjoy the 15 just for that

#

Lights are sweeping attacks, heavies are overheads, PA is a stab, simple

But that's the funny thing with choices

Ultimately both are good and have good skill expression

I like heavy light heavy light as the horde attack
