I run it on my havoc setup and honestly i should probably not
Hmm... If I removed both grenade modifiers, I could go Trench Fighter and Serrated Blade...
what melee are you using
On this build, a knife
I don't care if people think this is shit
Witness me!
is this havoc or regular
The XII lasgun? I've been using the VIc myself 😄
if you run onslaught XII is your pal
But it chews through so much ammo...
Twice the fire rate but only like a third extra ammo
If you want to try hard, then take PS
Since crits are in strings, it isn't nearly as bad as the heavy recon
Nah I've out damaged Psykers with this
Havoc 40s
Heavy Recon? The XIV?
Yes
sure, but your average psyker player would get stuck on hav20 on any other class, so that doesn't really count for much
Ah ye, that one chews up ammo too cause it uses more ammo per shot
I dunno, VIc always seemed like the best middle ground
this kids, is why shock trooper was invented
No they were very good
It's just that with this build, you slaughter elites and specialist groups and have decent boss damage
Just try it once
Full refund
I promise
Combat Blade, which blessing to go for after Uncanny Strike?
I use Precog but that's me
riposte is the standard one
Riposte precog FT are all good
Man, some people really ruin this game sometimes. It's rare, but there are some shit players out there.
Man I need to practice those move sets for melee weapons in the guide
okay so the move set tell you what direction to swing your weapon right?
most weapons in this game are spam light/heavy occasionally push attack
there are a few exceptions like combat blade and power sword but those are rarer
For example H1 means the first heavy in the heavy chain
So L1 H2 means light, then heavy. And the light would be the first light in the light chain and the heavy would be the second heavy in the heavy chain
okay for horde
I push, then Heavy attack, then heavy attack and what light 3 attack?
The curly braces mean loops
curly brackets are for attacks you can repeat
so heavy heavy heavy heavy light or smth
So you can push and then just heavy forever
and heavy 2 move is?
okay but then you have this
Heavy 2 then Heavy 1??
so first swing at nothing, then second swing should connect?
It must means two heavies in a row
The number just indicates what order the heavy is in the chain
they go into each other
heavy 2 and queuing up another heavy gives you heavy 1
Just follow the moveset tbh
so first swing and second swing is jsut heavy 1 and heavy 2
You don’t need to worry about whether it’s heavy 1 or heavy 2
the specific number in the chain doesn't matter unless you want to talk about specific attacks
this is because the heavy attack being chained from push atk is heavy2
I put push/push atk at start which indicates what ur atk chain going from push or push atk is
since push/push atk is smth u should do fairly often vs horde
the actual combo starters are marked with blue colored text/arrow in the moveset chart
What do you think of this: Orestes Mk. XII Chainaxe, Plasma Gun, and Krak Grenades.
do you guys like the sniper vet build from the guide
well that was interesting , while I was practing my combat blade, i got 1500dps on bulkwark from behind
er 2570dps, nice crit
dps doesn't really matter that much tbh imo
moreso how little hits does it take to kill the elite you're focusing on
what stat do y'all dump on the recon lasgun? Mobility?
stability
Reiterate: What do you think of my build? I use the Orestes Mk. XII Chainaxe, the Plasma Gun, and Krak Grenades.
where horde clear
sounds like you are going to get overwhelmed easy
Chainaxe. The Mk. XII is built more for horde clear rather than the Mk. IV, which is moreso for single target.
And in a pinch I can pull out the krak grenades.
collateral
Chaxe has great horde clear
idk I don't play chaxe
chaxe has remarkable horde clear.
I just went with what looked cool, and those looked cool, and it works phenomenally for me.
well if you allow for crits, I was able to do it in two hit on his back
chainaxe has tolerable horde clear
my goat power sword could never just be tolerable
Chain axe unfortunately is overall a very mid weapon. It works.
I like it a lot.
ive got 1 extra point
weapons?
idk
Shovel Helbore
and is this havoc or auric
either
I've got tinkerer.
if ur not taking tinkerer in havoc, dont use kraks
yup
is that not the nade regen node
I normally play Psyker, so my Veteran build is okay.
tinkerer is the extra krak dmg
do we know which mark is suggested for helbore
V for chads
I think it's entirely preference really, but iirc one was a bit better?
It’s preference
yea
Yup
V with weight of fire is very funny
im using weight of fire
Try V 
aye aye
Should I go wep specialist or ft for bolter
huh
krak grenade "sticking" targeting is weird
it would "bounce" to the guy next to the target I was aiming at
I go ws bc I like ws and the nodes leading to it but you generally don't swap weapons often enough with bolter to make the best use of it lol
ft gives you that juicy +20% monster damage to mag dump into
the krak keep going for the plasma gunner and the mauler
when IM in front of them
but if I go behind them it will stick where I throw it
it wont even stick to the gunner in front, always either the plasma gunner or the mauler
Carapace armor detected
Yeah it prioritizes enemies with carapace
I mean... I just watched it do a 90 degree yeet toward the carapace
sometime it would bounce from the plasma gunner to the mauler
That seems to be a design choice
Melee armor higher priority
then the mauler and then kaboom
I mean its just funny to see it bounce two targets to get to the mauler
It is yes
But logically you wouldn't krak a plasma gunner
So game decides ooh mauler
I was talking about it bouncing from the gunner on right to the plasma gunner, then bounced to the mauler before exploding 😛
its so silly
Yeh, it bouncing to the plasma gunner is expected because carapace helmet, bouncing again to mauler is silly
But plasma gunners are easier to kill
So it makes sense
I've been running around with rashad
It feels like my cleave is quite shit for such a slow weapon
I have bromentum too
ok zealot sections done
I miss my chainaxe
Martyr is the one that want bonus wounds and have them depleted yea?
Yup
Ye
I'm seeing people running around with 4 wounds on non martyr zealots and im not sure if its worth
Worth the skill point i mean
non martyr
Whats the best build for Veteran? I'm new to the game but feels like I'm not using Veteran to the best it can be
Also seeing people with 7 wounds and i just facepalm
Check pinned guide
Meta vet is a hybrid melee ranged class
Oh I didn't see that thank you
Path thinks its average 
in terms of weapon feel its 10/10
it is
Ur average
ik I am
maybe i just suck with the slower guns?
but i like it a lot more than the helbore
I think it's top 6~7 vet gun (and vet has 12 guns total)
so yea pretty avg
A tier in a sea of S tiers 💔
no it's just that of the 12 guns vet has, this is 6~7
I lowk don't think there are 6 guns better than it tbh
plasma, revolver, vig auto 3, inf auto 5, boltgun, helbore
this alrdy 6
dockets bonus on zealot curios? 👀
I like money
if it's the guide ur asking abt

i think combat shotgun > vig auto or inf auto
think I'll do arb now that zealot is done
but I also could just be bad
nah vig auto 3 actually hits super good breakpoints (even into havoc)
a feat combat shotgun can only dream of
and inf auto 5 is best ranged dps
I need a vox replacement for my throat
or hive scum?
can u separate out the class stuff into diff guides
way 2 much scrolling for one steam guide
noe
just use navigation panel and jump ahead
dam
even if I separate into diff guides it's just gonna be a ton of repetition
tru
Do Arbi because I can't stand these stupid fucking pub Arbis a second longer
damn ok
pub arbys probably arent reading ts
psyker is last
hive scum guide should include team etiquette
theyre scums they wont listen smh
Agripinaa Mk VII is pretty amazing I thought
it's ok
how do you build vig 3
i thought vig autoguns were garbage
maniac, flak, surgical, deadly accurate
same build as plasma lol
oh ok
I play this for plasma
but for vig auto, swap 1 point somewhere for rending strikes instead
prob grenadier
it's playable without rending strikes but feels better with it
it is, path just spends too much time playing weapon specialist vet
+30% exp purely for ego reasons is the real meta
Is the "no keystone, infernus, recon lasgun + dueling sword build" still a thing? Haven't played in a while and wondering if I should build something else before trying to actually get into higher difficulties again 
Anyone have a half decent PS plasma build they would be willing to share
i mean you can run that, it's just not meta or even efficient
template
and the exact build I run
Uh huh
I'm running shout and ft, guess I can try something else
Also do I want reload speed nodes for bolter
grab tac reload
Anyone else having Backend errors
bolter WS will not be a good time...
swap speed is too slow even with OM
the reload is very not worth it on bolter, it's what
1 round everytime you proc WS?
FT or MMF are way better options
you get 3% of your ammo back your mag with every 3 melee kills in the best case scenario
3.3%
Yeah so i can proc tac reload
you can proc tac reload by just not magdumping the full mag
instead of wasting a keystone slot
But full auto go brr
Lel
Right
I feel like I dont hit heads often enough with bolter, but eh, I'll try mmf
For the fast
mobility doesn't make much of a difference to sprint speed
Tac reload is enough
Just don’t go magdump everytime; pay attention to your ammo & you’ll be good
Shout staggers so you can put a shot in before everyone gets back to killing you
Cause it stops everything around you from pestering you while you shout + its best for boss dps cause you keep it in place for easy headshots where most of your dps comes from as vet
Exe stance goves you mich more stability for hitting follow ups
I think exe stance gives much more utility in that regard cause it makes hitting shots easyer.
Recoil is managable & one can get used to it its not bad
Unless you play on a controller then my condolences
And you could also just work on positioning instead of relying on shout
It can but shout provides better safety = better
That you do everytime
Even with shout

I guess its safer yeah
But id still use ither weapins with shout
And a more melee centered build.
Use FT; MMF is a nice choice but usually its best to get FT cause alot of talents are on the way to it so you don’t overspend
- killing bosses & key targets
Yes; not weird but just bad too
Rev it up is a meme blessing i suggest not using it
Get Field Improv 
Counterpoint
funne
the whole reason I'm using it is because it's memey
also I like being fast in all games
Funny does not equal good
If you like being fast… use a knife
Usually don't lel
Papa, you know people play selfishly, it's just how it is.
Someone has to fight it tho
I gladly do

Should always be taken
Bath literally doesn’t take it 
He does not
His mistake
Ppl undervalue FI like crazy; shit can really provide alot, carry even in clutch situations
True. But then again, it comes with being a loot gremlin so you actually have them.
It's kinda why I'm surprised when a clear newbie has it.
But it can also do nothing which is the issue
Nah; extra grenades, faster heal = you don’t just sit in the med pack for 5 years to heal up & corruption heal so you don’t get 1 shot by a burster or even poxers if you already have corruption
Yesterday vet had FI and it allowed to clutch hard vs rotten cause str stimm + rockets is balanced; i can’t tell how many i fired that game but atleast 10+ 
If there was a way for your teammates to know you had it without needing to tell them(or drop a crate), I feel like it would be taken a lot more
Sadly no… 
@sudden cedar remember yesterdays havoc? How many rocket clutches i pulled out?

There were ppl who thought vet himself has to carry & drop for extra effect to occur
Bad tooltip for the ability puts it down in that regard

Yeah I don't know why I even suggest qol for this game, FS hasn't even implemented numeric UI and this game is like 3 years old now
It is
They literally implemented it from a MOD and still fked up cause they only implemented it partially so many ppl still use the mod cause it still provides better info than the one implemented in the game from said mod

🤮
I witnessed it; it was KEKtacular
fucks sake

@steep flower Everything is better with rockets.
hey everyone, new-ish player here 60 hours in trying to climb havoc. i've been using plasma gun with dueling sword, but i'm a bit stuck on the talent tree. i've been following some guides from youtube from some well known theorycrafting guy but i found havoc to be too chaotic with heavies to just rely on my sword, so i changed to this talent tree instead (can't post screen so i'll leave a link) - https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0c77c01-9edc-40d9-b11e-f124bc182a5a/look-at-talents-pls
is there any finetuning i can do or is this pretty much as meta as i can get?
there's a guide in the pins
Tree looks generally fine, maybe 1-2 points that could be swapped around, but I don't think it'll seriously make or break the setup. Havoc just generally relies on player skill to keep track of and manage hordes
Needs to show which vet has it imo.
i know, but i was lookin for a more direct chat with people. about the points, i noticed a lot of people only taking like one toughness regen perk. i tried that and got absolutely demolished so i guess they rely more on positioning and dodging and teammates which i can't do with randoms
it should just do something to show it's active on the medkit, that's all it needs
it's not relying on teammates, it's just positions, dodging, blocking and pushing
No, should be something visible even in lobby.
On ammo crate too
It's just something you don't want to stack, but also good to know if it's worth dropping the medkit now or holding it.
Think everyone has only corruption damage before a wound, next station is a distance away.
Might be okay to drop now if Improv, but useless if not.
Serrated Blade is a very odd choice for Dueling Sword
Guys what do you think, is it worth spending all 900 of my aquilas on the Commissar Yarrick bolt pistol skin?
Also frags would pair better with dueling sword
im going for a commissar build as well so it would fit nicely
I personally don't like weapon skins much, too expensive for what you get. I'd rather just use weapon customizer, people can barely see your weapons in active combat anyways
Yeah, it's client side ofc. Join the modding discord for more on it though, the latest update messed with a lot
ah I see
can being the operative word here
FI is very situational
If you like it.
Mostly more grenades lel
And those save games like hell
Indeed
I always miss it on my plasma and recon builds.
Bleed gud when bulwarks are being a pain.
And your teammates simply refuses to hit them in the back.
I do get the whole comfort node thing (out for blood is mine)
But Serrated Blade still odd choice for Dueling Sword
How come? Everyone mentions how good it is for horde clear and such. Maybe its worth dropping for grenadier or ammo reload keystone? Also as i said initially i tried frags but crushers become overwhelming and kraks for me just made life so much easier.
Well dueling sword has shit cleave, serrated isn't going to help it
Dueling Sword's 4.5 cleave really gets beaten by the havoc horde mass
Against armor i think its fine tho
Just throw a bunch of stacks on mauler
Or crusher
Dueling Sword is also a good elites killer so kraks might be a little redundant
Frags AoE bleed + Uncanny Strike interaction also exists
Which pairs perfectly
Its prolly a skill issue on my part. In the 20 havoc range where im at i get so sucked in trying to melee crushers that i end up getting hit from behind or smth so kraks are just ezwin
I do have a power sword or whatever its called. Tried playing around in the meat grinder thing but it feels off even for normals
Like forgetting heavies exist
That's more than the mk3 shivs?
Do shivs have access to perfect strike
I know 1 has less.
Excuse me, I like out for blood. Is also why I hate having an oggy steal my bleed stacks.
Because frags take too long to pop.
How does this stealing stacks thing work
Whoever applies the DoT first owns the stack.
'Dot ownership'
Bleed count as melee kill?
Out 4 Blood grants toughness from any kill in any way
Out for blood gives you +5% toughness from any kill you do.
Even bleed.
Oh
We eagerly await its sequel, Out 4 Blood 2
It's just, not as good as just L4D2.
Track record bad
Like, you pay less than $5 for L4D2 on sales.
You can mod it however you want.
Play thousands of custom maps.
The fact that they lost to a sequel of a game they made, after that sequel is a decade old, is telling
Not all are good, but that's just workshop.
They didn't make it tbh.
Valve edited alot of it.
They made first, no?
If you saw the original idea.
Valve trimmed it down, made the loop as you see. Removed excess animations you can just mod back in.
Pointless bloat back when the avg PC has 100 GB - 150GB space.
Hm
Back when a game being 10GB was a looooooot
Back 4 Blood food build op 2026 not bait
Yep. Now, 200 GB games exist... I'm like, did someone FORGET optimisations in multiple ways?
Sigh, i wished for evolve to be good but their launch was a dumpster fire
Like, does that tree in the backgroud need to be half a gig big?
From says yes
Then again I've heard horror stories of interns shrinking a full size pirate ship to put in a bottle as a background decoration
Optimization is an expensive, long, and not even a guaranteed process. Data/Storage is cheap. That's just how it is sadly.
Like Helldivers 2 put out a patch that slimmed the game from 150GB~ to 30GB.
This was definitely more important when your game had to physically fit on a CD ROM
That and they keep firing people who know to to fix the metaphorical elevators, and people can only use stairs
Even with prices being a bit crazy right now I can go out and pick up 1TB of space on an SSD for about $100-200. Ten years ago that was almost a grand.
(Depending on the write speed you wanted anyway)
These stairs go up
AZUMGI
True, but not everyone can afford to just upgrade. Is really why I play indies more. Having like 600 GB of space to work with is hard when every game wants like 100 GB.
I bet dwarven architecture has loads of stairs
Even if they look like a 4GB game.
I have also completely given up on triple A
It's only in the last six months that I find myself wanting more space personally. I've got one 500GB SSD and one 500GB HDD from 2011 lol
Anyway I've been playing Blue Prince lately and it rocks.
Their games are polished crap
I simply can't play many games due to no space.
And that's an overstatement
I have 20GB free atm.
Biggest games alone eat up slightly below 400GB of it.
And that's 4 games btw.
No shit
Waiting for a discount.
Holy sigmar... how many more stairs?!
cmon Saltzpyre... maybe the portal beacon... maybe its made of chocolate. eheh, eheheheh
unexpected l4d2 reference but ok
i saw "how many stairs" and the scene popped into my head
that cinematic lives rent free in my brain
the opening cinematic/trailer when you open the game
I mean dsword is good for killing elites and surviving, it's pretty shit into hordes. If you wanted something that does hordes and elites, psword is a strong contender (also a strong contender for best melee in the game
)
Dead Center trailer

shotgun.
never seen any1 use that
theres a lot of things ive never seen but are probably very good too
Combat shotgun and double barrel are hilariously busted with the right build
But yeah depends on what you want
Railcannon vs heretic remover stick
"this, is a boomstick"
Yeees
double barrel very fun yes
im curious about your builds good sir
makes me miss my grudgeraker ranger vet
db is good but it kinda makes veteran redundant and competes with other class roles
are these class roles in the room with us right now
its like arbitrator with exe shotgyn bur way less tankier and with a worse gun
I can... sort of? See your point
Mixed horde clear being your primary strength is definitely not a bad thing, it's true that it is not exactly "exceptional" at carapace however WS route gets all right side melee buffs making whatever melee you bring fairly good at that. Cole uses shovel
Also definitely not tbh
Arbitrator has nowhere near the ranged pressure sustain
All i see from arbs spamming their exe shotguns is either cluelessness or empty ammo
I mean in havoc arb should be running agri not exe shotgun anyway
because they took a shotgun with half the ammo and the same damage breakpoints as a combat shotgun lmao
🤷♂️
But the 2 shot gun... Shotpistol.
wait wat
That depends. I got 5 builds i cycle 🤔. Though my trees don't look much different at all from what you'd find in pinned guides
i mean your double barreled and combat shotgun builds, if you have them
Unyielding is okay if you magdump bosses.
only cause im new to veteran, relatively
Special shot into dump.
i love the idea of swapping between shotgun and melee, blasting and then meleeing then blasting again
only enough to buy 1 wep
WS for double barrel, MMF for combat.
rng gods save me
RIP.
well gotta take what i can get
This sucks for combat lul.

it could of been way worse
hmm
ah yeah LOL
Never dump damage.
no lmao
better to keep rolling
then either roll a suboptimal and get a better when you can or go run some more
Or ask someone really good to carry you h40 so next week you get stonks to play with.
LOL
lmao
Time to call ainz 
i havent tried havoc yet
Hamdolsun offers it.
hardest back when i played was them auric maelstroms
so this is why i keep finding people with 40 clearance that clearly cant play the game 
Not really, most of the people getting help know not to actually search h40.
Though one can be carried even in a pug setting.
This does happen though unironically
Yesterday
Random arb in my team h40
Shooting carapace with braced autogun in full seriousness
yeah it does happen
Waltuh, put your gun away waltuh
Also, I know there's paid services off the Discord.
You have money, you can buy true survivor.
Last I saw, a casual win is $10~. TS is way more.
I mean, that's pretty good money if u can clear consistently
It was an out of curiousity thing.
Considering you know how boosting is in any game with MMR or ranks.
Hey, I shoot them with vraks and dual autos.
With 25% rending lul.
In malice.
XD
Not me. I still run shout and WS.
Erm
Arby's mid therefore anything not Arby's is better

Base class superiority
I mean, malice is literally where anything goes. So kapp.
cheers, though what about a weapons specialist combat shottie with clip size taken, is that suboptimal or something?
Having fun in a videogame? Pshhhht
Hey, there's time for srs and then there's... why are you just... what even is that build?
Railcannon combat shottie :P
If you're gonna go WS invest into right and middle tree more
Benefit from melee
Zarona combat shottie with MMF literally eats crushers
Its funni
ill have to try it
Ah yes. Funni. XD
Wait are you just seeing this now O;
Who talked about this before... gunpsyker guy i think it was
Or orcka too
shotty want a slug, bottles in the club
More ppl just plasma plasma plasma in games I play.
Or recon.
Them even pulling out melee...
Is like rolling a god roll plasma.
No wonder why so many find on overwatch that hard.
Even on recon, you get to path to the -0.25 stam delay, but they don't even block.
Damn
Is all the way to damns even.
Is why heresy sometime more stressful than aurics lul.
i still havent done on overwatch
Skill issue locks achievements & victories in equal measure

always some sneaky poxwalker stabbing me in the arse
Shovel is enough for malice. My GF did it at lvl 3.
i was confused when i tried zarona in psyk, i think you mean agripinaa lol
i might have skill issue
the one with the slug special fire
actually i probably have skill issue
Hey, I'm a pile of lag and skill issues.
but then again, fucking asia region
Fraudvoc 40 players when Heresy walks in
Is more, the forced to clutch thing gets tiring at times.
The stress of knowing if you make a mistake then, there goes it.
But my silly build breakpoints.
More like panic than skill issue
Sometimes, it's easier to know you are the worst than the best.
Both.
Less weight on your shoulders in a way.
alright i got the railcannon shotgun build going with a couple adjustments, this shit slaps
You should know that well, panic or not doesn't change it.
Ye cause you get dragged behind like a sack of panic potatoes

Its either my shoulders or my back; does not make much dif to me
You’re still our beloved morale boosting panic inducing aura bot girl

That was more in relations of... it sometimes feels more comforting knowing you are the worst instead of the best...

Someone has to be worse so that others may be best; its not bad to be ‚bad’ per say as long as you have your place
ah darn it
Yeah, but it's more the mental load?
i barreled myself with warp slash
How.
self barreling psyker? neat
i warp slash then ran forward, on a narrow bridge in archivum
Rather a self barreling smyker though, funnier.
RIP.
Tell us when they die to backstabs or overhead from behind.
they immediately died to pox bursters
i actually found a cracked smyker today
he was actually playing it well (as in, he has positional awareness)
XD
I mean, is really rare for smykers.
great builds, I should revisit the exe + WF souble barrel vet
Thanks, good luck!
and we ded
Blep.
fucking trapper from behind
The classic.
couldnt hear it
I would choose longshot over one motion for shotties though tbh
Depends on what you want to do. Agrip is better at sniping but zarona does superior flak and carapace work
then somehow they didnt kill the trapper before trying to help me
Up to you, if i run WS i run swap speed, personally
sigh
I usually do hear, but the directioning is so off.
i keep spending my range charges trying to tactical reload my foken db
Happens. Is why some ppl just run always prepared.
its fucking muscle memory and i cringe when i do it
like, engagement over, downtime, immediately swap and press r
I do it trying to quick reload plasma.
Forgetting you can sprint cancel.
Because quick reloading flamer lul.
yeah same here...
no way you say zarona does superior work for those
If ye return to post convos
Both are good but zarona kicks harder overall with exe and MMF
Hence, railcannon build
Oh i'm not sure... that's fairly old by now, i mean more in general
But i think they might be looking at the specials
You just m1 spam

idk, you'd think one shotting a crusher with the agri slug is more railcannon
Agri slug is fun but slow as damn
reload speed on special kill
It doesn't outdo zarona
plus if you take the mmf slot that increases stacks to 15
Which just has to spam m1
You can if you like, however it is a little redundant
Again both are good
also fairly certain agri m1
Just depends on what you want to do
is equal to zarona m1
it has a bit more rending to it i think
plus if you take the extra rending on mmf
idk id love to see you showcase it because my setup is not done yet
weapon is shit
I'll get on later and show you, shore. Also you don't have to bother with that, if you want more damage you can just grab 15 stacks of MMF n call it a day
fuck me does this setup annihlate bosses though
Ye, mmf combat shotty is great dps overall
Though being selective with targets regardless doesn't hurt, so you don't go ammo hungry
yeah
surely the ranged weakspot node at the top is a far better option?
and the reason i say agri is better is because it synergizes more with the ranged backline role
you get the distance damage buff and wont be targeted by melee as much
What, exhilarating? Bit overkill tbh you don't need more survivability
Also again up to you but both work
Exe stance and confirmed kill let vet frontline well enough
exe stance is so weird
fair fair, just min maxing is all. depends on your comp i suppose
like, you just need highlighted targets to die and you get extended duration?
There's not really a comp unless you premake really. I don't assign a role to myself, the role is to kill everything
So if you don't have friends
Forget about backline and safety
Pugs are literally microwave brain
ye tru dat
tho my real thinking is finding what synergizes most with the build and brings everything together
Ye, course
No, u urself have to get the kills
can I run focus target with Helbore or do I need Marksman Focus? I find it hard to maintain stacks especially while being horded from behind lol
U can do focus target as well
It’s a more generalist bonus
MF just scales with Helbore’s damage model a bit better
Oh
Thanks thats great to know, I'll keep on trying MF but I find it hard to weave in melee and maintaining stacks at the same time
Should i be shooting at crushers if i have exe stance on then
Your build did take the node for big bois
For plasma
You need to kill them yourself.
-exhilarating, confirmed kill, iron will, MMF subnodes
-stand around in a horde plinking at funny yellow silhouettes
wheeee its so fun! as long as i dont run out of shotgunners i cannot be harmed by mortal hands
I think hybird support builds are fine. Shout can always be used selfishly, even FI. 20 frags boom lul.
depends on the gun but the usual answer is no
they're rly just an enemy type made for u to melee
and no, wouldn't shoot them with plasma, complete waste of ammo
Better to not waste but... Shrugs.
Definitely. In some scenarios this can be pulled off really well fs. Psyker gets away easily with bubble bcoz inferno broken for example
Ok den
in lower diff u can shoot them with plasma cuz u don't get a lot of them + they have less hp + u have more ammo than u need
Yep. Really just playstyle for most parts anyway.
bounce lots of rounds off of crusher heads so your teammates roll their eyes at the dumb veteran magdumping crushers
then outkill everyone anyway
Toughness is fine.
You cannot be hit after by melee.
I see
They can shoot you to 1 hp and you'll still get it.
It's literally just never lose hp to melee.
Take a CC weapon or go knife/DS.
Depends on playstyle.
I dodge way more so the latter is easier for me.
Rare for anyone
It does tho
Use tactical reload; its better
I know. I run on panic, remember?
Hrm?
how? are you comparing m1s only?
one slug from agri will do like 5x the dps of zarona
against carapace
on the same build
even then, the m1s are so close in dps, its a toss up which is better i think
I mean… look how much dmg both weapons do vs flak & carapace together with blessing pool
Not that you wanna shoot crushers in general
Stab shovel feels so good too
yeah see if you compare m1s only, zarona probably does more damage. but agri slug outclasses anything zarona can do against armour
I would marry my shovel if I could
can't, I married it during the beta
What other vet weapons are capable of interrupting ragers mid combo?
Psword Rashad
shmaul
knife
check pinned guide, see weapon sections' stagger breakpoints
nice
i am curious to see the agri on the same setup, as well as runnin tactical reload with slugs
tactical reload is quite a big tax tbh
you'd lose out on dps on the long run since ultimately both combat shotguns are just m1 spamming contest
special is just kinda there
the toughness on kills is pretty big tho so its not just tactical reload
you already have mmf and exe stance buffing reload speed
dropping good damage talents is a larger hit
you can refer to some build skeletons in this chat's pins
executioners stance doesnt buff reload speed?
oh, just MMF then, forgor
mmf is only 15% max
i mean, if you want to take it by all means
i don't find the need for it
and out for blood is unneeded toughness
vet has toughness sources by the gallon
if anything, you could probably repurpose the 10% melee attack speed buff
"hmm yes today i will regen toughness"
I don't think u need toughness regen when ur ability is ALWAYS A ton of toughness regen
tada
infiltrate... run!!11!!
this is arb tree
arb tree
oh lol
yea, im thinkin arbies
my infiltrate racism kicked in immediately
dont think, just persecute.
really i just like out for blood for when im getting swarmed in melee and cant refresh executioners stance
that with tactical reload probs makes taking a talent away from 10% attack speed just fine
since duelling sword lel
also isnt tunnel vision overkill?
The arbites update provided additional reload speed baseline to shotties iirc. the reload speed is a luxury for the most part you can generate better value elsewhere
is charge rate being the dump fine?
if ur broke, go for thermal dump
no due to it being toughness gen overall, it is one of the good toughness sources vet has, people usually only take base MMF + tunnel
allows you to outgun quite a lot
There is a sweet spot with thermal/charge rate i think you want 71 charge rate 69 thermal for max shots before overheat without wasting stat allocation. Someone probably knows for sure but it looks something like that.
Godspeed.
71 cr, 69 tr or about 70/70 really
68/72 min.
it's a fucking pain tho
That's the min, you get and test.
i guess if anything could go, its longshot. really do think the 25% extra reload speed will increase dps far more than 10% more damage at short ranges. if you're going agri sniping longshot looks better but with that zarona playstyle i dont see the necessity
If you can shoot 8 times in a row, it's a good one and you get microsecs faster quick shots.
whats the deal with Marksman? 20% strength on weakspot hits for 10 seconds after combat ability
If weakspot hit, gain +20% strength
If not, nada
dont see anyone taking it
idt most people take it lol
Because vet has the worst CD regen talent of all classes in the game and red nodes’ uptime are meh
Went from best to worst.
Nah it was never best
FS balancing.
IoD was better
Psyk aura was better
We don't talk Psyker.
Clearly the dev's precious.
2 true
That thing was hyper busted, busted, still good but selfish and still decent now.
It could get better in the future but likely won’t return in the way it was
they nerfed/changed old gun vet and moved everything it did into hive scum desperado plus more
There’s a nonzero chance that red nodes become refreshable with stance
I always thought it was weird that it didn’t
Asking here because it’s mostly the professional who says them, what are all the enemy codes and which enemies do they correspond to?
Check pinned guide
hold on to your socks because GASP we might have to nerf some stuff

is mister E tripping
why does he want to nerf everything
Danke!
yes
Imagine watching Mr E
Always
genuinely he said "abilities should not scale with the number of enemies"
I mean, they also got some now removed zealot nodes.
wat is that supposed to mean
like veteran getting grenades back on specialist/elite kill
and psyker doing infinity damage
he thinks they need to be capped
psyker yes
veteran also yes but to a lesser extent
frags can use a small nerf to its base
i feel like its less of a psyker problem and more of an inferno staff problem
no it's a psyker problem
Meanwhile I play a shite psyker whose only saving grace is being a tank
me too
Psyker ignoring half of the game mechanics because funny
I mean, which (glass)class gets so much TDR and DR because?
Psyker skipping mechanics imo is fine
the real issue is that there is no real cost
high peril should be near a death sentence that unlocks your capacity to level Atoma
if you stay too long on it you SHOULD die, and not just on 100% explosions
high peril burns you for actual hp instantly turns psyker into bottom tier class tho lol
sure, but probably high peril making you take increased damage would be a good argument, specially since you can make yourself immune to some damage via shield or Emphatic evasion
real actually
Stares at One with the Warp.
Hiver gets penalties
So maybe in the future psyker w....... Nah who am I kidding
We talking about the E video where he says Veteran needs like a shit ton of nerfs even though it was already established changes that were needed to Vet even before the rework? LMAO
which makes no sense if you ask me, peril currently is just a reload meter you can ignore
that is how unimpactful it currently is
as for Veteran, i feel giving it some internal CD for its nage regeneration, so it doesnt generate a full batch of nades n a single rager swarm, would be good enought to go
you still would need to manage grenades, but you still can use them the most, which feels like a part of the class identity, for good or ill
nobody look at psyker rn
clearly zealot is busted and needs nerfs
fully noted, nefring ogryn to its old version
-Obesefish
clearly arbitor is busted and needs nerfs
I don’t think people realize that Veteran is heavily dependent on upkeeping their toughness to not take high damage cause it’s one of the only classes in game that doesnt have consistent raw Damage Reduction
Vet is the actual glass cannon tbh
which is why we need to remove gold toughnfss
Yes, sir we are nerfin ogryn again so it only has rock as ranged option
-Obesefish
I mean I’d prefer Golden on VOC to just be a DR% Buff to everyone if I’ll be honest
sad embed
Golden has just been an issue ever since it was created
embed fail
They just have means to beef up their toughness retention to a point where people think vet is beefy
Again it’s far easier to maintain now but like
People forget
If veteran can’t kill
They can’t upkeep any toughness
No toughness?
Death for Veteran Boy
thas why its important to steal his kills
Like even Hive Scum with rampage has more actual sturdiness than Vet does
0.0
You know whats funny
Hive City Brawler
1 talent
20%DR
Let’s Scum tank more overheads
For free basically.
Than Vet or Zealot can dream of

they are on drugs, i see it as immersive
hangover when?
Tbf
hive scum canonically dies at 27
you cant hangover if you are perpetually on drugs
@restive mountain is kf3 a real game yet?
the what now?
Fatmangus build
wat
a zealot that is as obese as Obesefish? impossible
Zealot build that lets u eat bursters and overheads like it's going out of style
and keep on going
Why do you think I sometimes hate to see oggies. They take bleed and I literally need to no hit or I die from a downwards spiral.
hear me out, what if u dodge them rather than eat em?
Its probably the most effective tank in game rn
but me must eat me rashuns!
I hate how I did the BS before but everyone insulted me.
Then some youtuber or something does it and it's a god build.
#buffGunlugger
Karien is ALWAYS ahead of her time
yes-yes
I was literally eating overheads and still clean hp bar in h40.
Give gunlugger triple ammo
Is just irritating tbh.
#stillnotenough
I have been running hp and corruption resist since havoc season 1 on zealot.
All I got was mockery on it.
Realize you shouldn't listen to most people, idk
if its anything worth, i would always believe in you, even this madness of a concept
