tough nova
#

The 15% elite damage is pretty much must take on anything

austere mica
#

And like

#

Iron will

#

You take a weaker weakspot buff that is immediately next to the better one

#

Covering fire does nearly nothing

#

Covert operative is

#

A node

#

Skipping Reciprocity for Close Quarters Killzone is insane

hot coyote
#

or use it for superiority complex

#

let me see

austere mica
#

Brauto is too slow to use Onslaught

tough nova
#

The lowest dmg mark would be ok for onslaught but definitely not the agri

austere mica
#

Yeah but then you're using graia brauto

unreal nova
dreamy sphinx
#

fucking finally

undone trout
#

which combat knife synergizes better with a WS double barrel build?

#

id think the mark 3 right?

austere mica
#

Mk6

#

Its just better

undone trout
#

what makes it better?

austere mica
#

It has better singletarget than mk3 and better clear

undone trout
#

i think the thrust attacks are better single target no?

austere mica
#

Push attack spam on mk6 is faster

unreal nova
undone trout
#

ah i see

hot coyote
austere mica
#

Hold on

hot coyote
#

I mean the nodes

austere mica
hot coyote
#

so close quarters no ?

#

and mk6

#

I can't use braced auto guns ?

austere mica
#

You can

#

Use it with whatever weapons you wanted

#

I just made it better while generally taking the same things

hot coyote
#

but what ranged weapon u mean

austere mica
#

Whatever you want

hot coyote
#

but with better dps

umbral scaffold
#

the guard demands it

hot coyote
#

I Will try it

undone trout
#

is building around bleed bad if you're not playing havoc with rotten armour?

#

im using the combat knife instead of the shovel

austere mica
#

Its fine

#

Makes it more consistent

hot coyote
#

I use it with a powered sword

#

I just use braced auto for some hordes and trash mobs

#

but I waste not to much ammo

#

just gunners and trash mobs

#

it's a knife better to deal with crusher or caparaces mobs ?

austere mica
#

No

#

Power sword is goofy

hot coyote
#

and the new powered weapon for veteran ?

austere mica
#

Its ok

hot coyote
#

for heavy armor ?

undone trout
#

ngl mark 3 combat knife is way easier to use for single target, the mk 6 push attack is so fast and clunky to use

#

is there a qol method im missing or is it skill issue for now

#

to throw push attacks easier

#

the push attacks are obv busted but damn is it hard to hit in a rush

hollow ibex
slender elm
#

Well I pair that shit with a shimpact bolter

hot coyote
#

I like use block in my curios and melees

austere mica
#

Don't

#

Block efficiency is not worth it

hot coyote
#

damn

#

but in sometimes help me a lot

austere mica
#

Its not better than +25% to an armor type

#

Under any circumstance

hot coyote
#

help me so much in clutchs

#

literally help My for saving the team

austere mica
#

Killing things faster helps prevent a mission from degenerating to a clutch scenario

hot coyote
#

...

#

I don't know

#

I feel like I do a pretty amount of damage

unreal nova
undone trout
#

what is the most meme curio perk?

unreal nova
undone trout
#

brutal

#

not grimoire corruption resist?

charred halo
#

guess ill kill myself

unreal nova
#

So unless you are telling me you play uprising, shit's doing absolutely nothing.

#

And to be exact, if you are getting hit that much in uprising... I wish FS never removed Sedation. Would be the difficulty for those players.

undone trout
#

tbh i could see a decent player taking toughness regen just out of ignorance for what it does

#

grimoires arent guaranteed every match, and when they are, you rarely pick em up

unreal nova
#

Because there's no vote to destroy.

undone trout
#

yeah but it is memey

unreal nova
#

Generally corruption resist is better.

#

Since neither works on the flat corruption part.

#

Which is the actually painful part for anyone not a Zealot, Arby or oggy.

#

Straight 80 hp gone in corruption if both books.

#

You are straight up in final wound.

#

tfw i want to shoot stuff in the face as vet but i only have contracts remaining for lame stuff like psyker and aboriginal :c

frigid rover
#

i have never heard this term in my life! tell me everything

unreal nova
#

On psyker.

frigid rover
#

which gun! there are a lot.

unreal nova
#

Shoot funni blu men.

#

Ppl like vraks inf auto or XII recon.

frigid rover
#

recon
nooooooooo

unreal nova
#

Any fast gun will work.

#

Shredder auto will do as well.

frigid rover
#

that sounds hilarious
i was thinking of messing around with laspistol though if i were to actually put earnest effort into a decent gun psyker build

unreal nova
#

Laspistol if you can fan click.

#

SG makes it hit like a truck.

frigid rover
#

i can, but these days if i can accomplish something by just downloading a lua file i will do that instead.

unreal nova
#

That's up to you, I mean full auto exist for it but anyway. Idea is, any crit based or high finesse gun is good.

tall torrent
#

I kinda finished troubleshooting DT for Linux and man it just runs better than win11 somehow, way better framerate stability

#

@tall torrent sorry to bother you but can you tell me why the infantry lasgun regens 3 ammo apon what i assume might be headshots

#

or this just a visual glitch?

lucid silo
#

So i havent done a single havoc

#

There a meta builds specifically for vets to use?

stark holly
#

lower level havocs are going to be similar to heresy/damnation/auric

so what ever you use for that should be fine

Is it worth it to take the uh, crit ignores armor mass blessing for hsword

#

If not ws

tame lodge
#

On meme builds

#

Because Headtaker + Deathblow are just too good

slender elm
#

Even for ws?

tame lodge
#

Yup
Headtaker Deathblow are just that good

#

Perfect Strike + Chained Deathblow/Bladed Momentum is what I run on meme builds

slender elm
#

is it worth on piety zealot then 🤔

#

taking deathblow perfect strike

tame lodge
#

No because that's pretty much redundant

#

You don't really have to care about hit mass because of Deathblow mechanics

slender elm
#

ok den, means i change it to headtaker

tame lodge
#

At least against non Ogryns

slender elm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tame lodge
#

Yeah Deathblow Headtaker are just that good

slender elm
#

or is chained deathblow better...

#

stacking more crit

#

derp

#

welp, upon further consideration, the weapon is mostly for clearing hordes and not killing cara

#

so im taking headtaker

tame lodge

Just that good ™

If you are lucky, you get to choose between 3.

Then maybe youre probably getting 3+ through hive scum aura

There isnt a way to get +3 ammo on that weapon through vet ammo regen

unreal nova
lyric path
#

at the time in the squad i was in

unreal nova
lyric path
unreal nova
#

Cos sometimes rarely a bot gets stuck in party.

#

So 5 chars instead.

lyric path
unreal nova
#

Because it's either shocktroop on slowest mark or maybe always prepared with like low stacks or so.

#

But IDK why anyone would run inf las with WS. And I don't think it's 3 shots on 1 stack either.

serene bough
#

My only other guess then is youre lagging, and the game registered that you fired a shot and lost the ammo count but then returned +3 because the shot was never fired

unreal nova
#

But usually doesn't happen that much. More likely to have shot air instead.

unreal nova
#

No always prepared. Hrm...

lyric path
#

this sound very stupid but is gonna be a VERRRRRY BIG if but what if fat shark implemented some sort of randomised chance for a shot to refund for the infantry lasgun

serene bough
#

Nah i don't think so

#

Ilas is my most used weapon ive never seen this kind of return on ammo

#

Id say try with the IIb ilas and see if you get +2 returned to you as well

#

Im guessing its something to do with your latency

lyric path
#

could be

unreal nova
#

Just to test things.

lyric path
serene bough
#

Infantry lasgun mk2

#

The fast shooting one

#

It conusmes +2 instead of +3 ammo, so if you see the same result then its likely youre not regenerating ammo but instead lagging and the game is misregistering

lyric path
#

ok

mystic pilot
#

if you dont have that mark yet, just level up the mastery a bit and then you can switch marks if you already have good stats on the rifle

lyric path
#

it happened again

serene bough
#

Yeah +2 instead of +3

#

I think its your latency

#

You can even see the number flicker a bit before giving you the +2

lyric path
#

Huh yeah I see

#

Still those they are dying all the same lol

serene bough
#

I should pay attention to my ammo count later today and see if I observe the same thing

#

I know a lot of people have issues with shots registering on ilas but ive never noticed it myself after so many hours using

lyric path
#

Well glad I brought it up lol

frigid rover
#

yeah i'd also guess that it's just Shock Trooper proccing and latency making it 'replenish' ammo right after you fire a crit

frigid rover
#

what!

#

well never mind, i did not read all the way through

#

it must be witchery

Heresy or sanctioned!?

tall torrent

that's the stamina curio rounding issue

#

but damage displays in meat grinder, assuming no mods that affect it (like weapon customization), are accurate

Offline does differ then online. But there are ways to make offline accurate for damage testing

Do the toughness curios also have a rounding issue?

slow spade
oak valve
#

'Cause I heard the Cursed Founding also tried to do that.

quick shell
#

I just set an arch militant up with builds that end encounters in turn 1 lol

#

Then use a grand strategist and black signet of the in question to ensure I always go first

#

And always get the turns I need

#

lol

#

second u hit act 4 game balance implodes.

#

It happens during act3 too, but not as bad

slow spade
#

I miss when Cassia could get 150 hp at like lvl 8 😔

Would be curious if Primaris marines still suffer from their geneseed "issues"

I like RT a lot but the balance is pretty wacky

It's really funny

#

Real Power Fantasy hours

lyric star
#

more that it's very unequal

slow spade
#

A shame the meltas suck in Rogue Trader

#

I kept trying to make them good 😭

tame lodge
#

Meltas and plasmas didn't click for me

#

What a shame

lyric star
#

the space marine and the magos are among the weakest units, which is very weird

#

then there is Kibellah who is the most hideously overpowered unit I think I've ever used in a CRPG

quick shell
lyric star
#

was, maybe, I think she's been nerfed a bit but she was ridiculous early on

slow spade
quick shell
#

It’s kinda just operative in general I think?

oak valve
quick shell
#

I think after the killing edge nerf it’s a lot worse now

#

It’s a lot of effort to make it function

slow spade
#

They nerfed the shit out of Pascal and Operators for like no reason

lyric star
#

the fact that Ulfar is weaker than Argenta due to really arbitrary and kinda nonsensical equipment restrictions is very 😵‍💫

#

You gotta love how a majority of Veteran passives don't make any lick of sense. How did you get a Krak Grenade from a box of bullets?

slow spade

#

Oh, and aren't some characters locked with mid ability/skill picks?
Like Jae's 16 skills look... nnneeeh...?

#

then there's like, Marazhai, who is supposed to be a real Drukhari cool kid class and then using him is practically challenge run territory

hollow ibex
#

also ulfar's starting build is so trash

#

i used toybox to reset him to 0

hollow ibex
#

i didn't even know you could recruit him

lyric star
#

neither until I was told, lol

hollow ibex
#

and i don't know why you would

lyric star
#

he's so shootable

lyric star
#

honestly, purely to stunt on him tbqh

hollow ibex
#

me everytime i see maz

oak valve
lyric star
#

one of the lines you can say to him when he asks you why you recruited him is literally "I always wanted a xenos pet"

#

like verbatim

quick shell
tame lodge
#

The funniest part about Maz is that you can have a sub or dom relationship with him

#

ahem
Who said that

lyric star
#

then he's all "grr you'll never break me etc etc" but then folds like laundry so

slow spade
#

That's how my team found out the attack hard cap is roughly 13 KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
#

so he was pretty crap

slow spade
#

It only procs once now and it was his ONLY trick

lyric star
#

his trick is passing Tech-use checks

#

and having cool combat lines

slow spade
oak valve
#

His trick is being tech-fren.

hollow ibex
#

i was also so disappointed by arc rifle

quick shell
slow spade
#

Yeah anything with single shot seems ass except sniper because built-in +50% crit damage

quick shell
#

Shotguns are good

hollow ibex
#

yeah i liked shotties

#

DB my beloved

#

both in DT and RT lol

slow spade
#

Ah yeah I can see a Sanctic Psyker shotgun build

slow spade
quick shell
#

U can have shotguns doing like 200-500 damage a shot depending on point in the game

lyric star
#

still, RT is the game that got me into 40k because I used to think this franchise was some dorky shit

slow spade
#

Been trying bolt pistol because I can finally use bolt pistol without feeling bad it takes 2-hit to kill

lyric star
#

turns out it's actually quite cool when it isn't about fucking space marines

tame lodge
#

Argenta + Shotgun is literally doom slayer

lyric star
#

Owlcat are the saviours of gaming tbh

hollow ibex
#

i don't think i ever equipped argenta with anything other than bolters

lyric star
#

yeah it's her best choice really

slow spade
slow spade
tame lodge
#

I tried 3 different builds with her
Brrrrr
Shotgun
Flamer
I can attest that Argenta goes hard with all of those

thorny egret
#

Yrliet? Eh. Mazzy? Kill on sight

slow spade
#

Bolters are alright but dodge is the highest difficulty bullshit

oak valve
#

Love being an Eldar kisser.

lyric star
#

yeah RT gave me an inaccurate impression on how popular Drukhari were lmao

tame lodge
#

I'll probably try melee Argie next

quick shell

#

apparently these guys get hardly any love by GW

hollow ibex

#

Dodge doesn’t matter when confident approach

slow spade

Lasguns have less Recoil than bolters too so more shots hit even if there's less of them

Las weapons also have terrible penetration too

# thorny egret Yrliet? Eh. Mazzy? Kill on sight

The only thing that sucks about Yrliet (other than being space elf) is that you can get her to respect you enough to stop calling you Mon'Keigh
But if you're controlling her in combat, she'll still call you that

#

Immersion broken

#

Kill all space elf

quick shell
slow spade
hollow ibex
#

guaranteed crit too

#

though reduced crit damage

tame lodge
#

Just get blessed bolter casing

slow spade
quick shell
#

So if u do

#

15-31 damage

#

It just always takes 31

slow spade
tame lodge
slow spade
#

I personally found blessed bolter case overrated

quick shell
#

It’s fantastic early

hollow ibex
#

yeah turns out i use single attacks on argenta once every three combats?

quick shell
#

It’s helpful

slow spade
#

I use it to build versatility stacks at best

quick shell
#

Let’s u blast the fuck out of people

quick shell
tame lodge
#

You can make a really fun dual wielding pistol build with Blessed bolter casing

#

Lovely

slow spade
tame lodge
#

Yeah 😭

slow spade
#

That does sound funny

tame lodge
#

A critical attack that never misses and grants you another attack

quick shell
#

I miss blessed bolter casing also granting guaranteed crits

mystic pilot
#

WOOO!

#

that was fun comboing with shovel

#

so fast

#

infernus or ghost on heavy laspistol?

hollow ibex
#

honestly both good choices

serene bough
#

I advocate dumdum+infernus

mystic pilot
#

Dumdum is already a given

#

it was a matter of a choice between infernus or ghost 😛

#

the next match after I finished the heavy laspistol mastery

distant plaza
#

I’m starting to really dig the tacaxe
But I don’t use the mk vii >.>

#

And the power sword just feels gods fucking awful to wield

hollow ibex
#

psword takes some getting used to

distant plaza
#

“You mean I gotta activate it every three swings?”
Ffs >.<
Don’t get me wrong
It’s “I’ve got the power!” When things go well but it seems like things can go south absurdly fast with it

quick shell
#

Gotta learn the way it works

#

It has a unique cadence

#

You can also block to cancel the activate a bit faster or activate and shove faster to create some space

hollow ibex
#

it's unironically a really good melee to force yourself to learn melee fundamentals

#

you can't just dodge your way out of everything

quick shell
#

Yeah

#

I like the psword

#

It’s very satisfying

#

Feels great to poke overhead something and watch it topple

distant plaza
hollow ibex
#

and just generally, good positioning

distant plaza
#

i feel like if i tried to take the power sword into a real game i'd be back in malice in no time -_-

#

maybe that's what i need to do with it >.>

hollow ibex
#

take a WS build, use PS and practice 👍

mystic pilot
#

yes

umbral scaffold
#

Power sword doing funny stagger

stable socket
#

i used to run psword plasma with WS but recently i've started liking focus target cuz i feel like sometimes i'm missing gunner 1shs breakpoints by a bit and focus target helps

#

plus the 20% increased damage taken is good for boss/twins

hollow ibex
#

FT is just so... eh

stable socket
#

it's the least interesting keystone

#

but numbers are numbers

#

also honestly the tag turning yellow sometimes screws me when i'm trying to spot a flamer through their flames

#

cuz the flames are like more yellow than red and FT tag doesn't contrast as well as the normal red outline

hollow ibex
#

yeah flamers are pretty annoying

#

mainly dangerous due to visibility issues lol

tall torrent
#

Or stance

stable socket
#

i like stance but shout just feels safer... there's something wrong with poxbursters these days

vocal stump
#

Think the vigilant autoguns acceptable to use these days for auric? kinda feel like im not marksmanning properly if i dont use a hellbore or plasma lol

vocal stump
#

hmmkay. kinda trying to broaden my horizons with guns lol

#

normal autogun is nice but feels better on my hive scum

#

much point in using normal lasguns? recons great ofc, heavy las pistol has its place too

hollow ibex
#

normal lasguns are kinda sad

#

useable, but there's no real reason to use them outside of larp

vocal stump
#

yeah thought so

#

wish i liked the hellbore more, kinda like the needle pistol for hive scum for me, i like the playstyle, it is strong/does well, but just dosnt feel that satisfying to use lol

#

also you know... the iron sights are ass 😛

quick shell
#

weapon customisation.

vocal stump
#

huh, never used it but saw the mod wasnt available atm? Got a link?

#

(nfi if thats allowed 😛 )

it's pinned in the darktide modders discord

#

oh ill investigate, ty

ty, will go grab the mod discord then use the link

nww

livid sphinx
#

Wait is putting focus target on left click viable now??

hollow ibex
#

why the fuck would you do that

#

well, unless you're asking for your teammates to barrel you

calm shard
#

and if you don't I'm going to shoot every single barrel you walk past and will refuse to revive you

#

I would rather you be dead than suffer the noise pollution

livid sphinx
primal zealot
#

u can just bind tag n ping differently tho ? like its not that deep bro

slender elm
#

i've complained about this shit

#

i will barrel you every chance i get

unreal nova
#

Same results.

hollow ibex
#

yup

#

tbh

#

it doesn't bother me too much anymore

#

because i simply turned off the ping sound uwugryn

primal zealot
#

theres a ping sound ?

slender elm
#

there is

#

an audible click

unreal nova
quick seal
#

bugged?

vivid agate
#

Sometimes it just won't let you spectate others, sometimes the camera just glitches under the map and you can't move it until revived

slate karma
#

Do you guys think i could make a commisar build?

austere mica
#

Commisar themed is just run Voice of Command, a power weapon, and a 1 pistol

unreal nova
austere mica
#

Which means just running weapon spec

slate karma
#

Not sure if im gonna go saber or Chainsword

slate karma
austere mica
#

Generic power sword is the best avaliable power weapon

unreal nova
#

Get old man Yarrick's NOT BOLTER skin as bonus.

austere mica
#

Chainsword is a horde clear 1 trick

#

And cutlass is just generally ok

unreal nova
#

Also, you mean bistol, not 1 pistol.

#

Or bolter.

austere mica
#

Commisars run laspistols all the time

unreal nova
#

Like Commissar Yarrick does.

slate karma
austere mica
#

And I'm sure I could find one who likes a stub pistol

slate karma
#

and the 2nd version light heavy light combo

austere mica
#

Generic power sword is special -> light x3

#

For clear

#

Or special -> push attack -> light x2

slate karma
#

are we talking about the same weapon?

tepid otter
#

DClaw and Dueling has the parry now too right

#

What mark do people use on the DClaw

unreal nova
slender elm
#

im running exe stance mmf ilas lel...

#

it feels like an absolute meme

#

but i did good

#

only issue is trying to kill fucking plasma guns

#

cant get through that stupid bucket on their head

unreal nova

#

running weakspot crit Sitgryn

#

i genuinely couldnt fucking kill the bitches even if i spammed bodyshots with exestance on

unreal nova
slender elm
#

sigh

#

who's fucking idea was it to give them carapace helmets

#

it affects so few playstyles except for people trying to headshot with guns

unreal nova
dry cloak
unreal nova
#

Plus lowered toughness gen.

tepid otter
slender elm
#

i would like the dclaw more if it actually did something to carapace outside of a tickle

dry cloak
dry cloak
#

bladed un augmented weapon cutting through SOLID METAL PLAtE

#

yeah

#

its gonna be shit into carapce

slender elm
#

just, give it a fucking stab so you can go for chinks

dry cloak
#

same for heavy sword

#

mk7 has a stab

slender elm
#

instead of this bell ringing swing

unreal nova
dry cloak
slender elm
#

clang clong clang clong

unreal nova
dry cloak
#

yeah

#

i get your point

slender elm
#

and then chainsword

#

wdym the special is shit

unreal nova
dry cloak
#

so flak?

#

flak is armour after all

slender elm
#

why would i take a chain weapon that's weak against armor 😂

#

completely counterproductive

unreal nova
dry cloak
#

wouldnt say so

#

maybe was lucky

#

i dont use it whole lot

unreal nova
#

Not cara lvls of worthless.

#

But still cut my wrist bad.

#

Had to run it on a challenge.

#

You know when 40% peril EK alt fire is much better to use than a chainsword.

#

It tells a whole lot.

unreal nova
#

No peril reduction.

#

Runs bb bubble dd.

slender elm
#

actually, how much do you guys quell on m2 builds

#

like ek or strike or blast

#

i tend to keep it at red but then i explode often lel

lyric path
#

does anyone use out for blood?

hot coyote
#

u guys sometimes does'nt use key nodes ?

#

wanna try this

steady prism
#

For Veteran no. I don't use the Keystones. I never saw a need to. I see I am not the only one. I have noticed Auric builds without them as well. About the only commonality between Vet builds is the weapons. I am not certain about now but I know for awhile, the Hellbore Las was seeing a lot of use

hot coyote
#

yeah hellbore it's nice with focus tree

#

but for some people don't wanna go melee or suport

unreal nova
lyric path
unreal nova
unreal nova
steady prism
#

To be fair, Veteran is much more difficult to use in melee than Hive Scum or even Arbi. I can understand people wanting to avoid that. I personally don't play Vet anymore because I find it easier to play Auric on Arbi

I agree with the forums that the Vet isn't in a good position.. Despite all the counter argument attempts

steady prism
#

Oh it can be. I will admit to being half asleep most of the time on my Arbi. Not something I can do on Vet that is for sure

hot coyote
#

I used melee builds with vet after My xbox microsoft account got hacked

#

not gonna lie but was boring as fk

slender elm
#

60% is my minimum threshold lmao

yeah on ek i just, shoot 4 times, quell, repeat

azure narwhal
#

You are taking full advantage of all high peril bonuses

silver patrol
#

god i hope they buff this staff

plain escarp
#

Is mobility dump stat on shovel or is that just on the ogryn

azure narwhal
#

Same tbh it's quite unfortunate that its performance doesn't particularly do anything too well

unreal nova
#

Difference is too slight.

plain escarp
#

Is there a document that shows all dump stats?

azure narwhal
unreal nova
plain escarp
#

But isn't that one only builds?

unreal nova
#

Naw, EVERYTHING.

#

Builds is debatable.

plain escarp
#

The builds are meh but the rest are good?

unreal nova
#

No, builds are okay, just not the definitive.

#

Path hates Field Improv for example.

#

Like, there are more builds than what he shows there.

#

Hell, builds depend. Is why the psyker build index is like a hundred something pages.

steady prism
#

I am confused.. Why use the Veteran class channel for Psyker? Did I miss a change to Vet?

unreal nova
torpid sundial

would decap or energy leakage be better for falchion 🤔

I do like the weap a lot though I might as well play relic blade on zealot lmao

azure narwhal

I do feel like I have enough cleave regardless

oh it can one shot chargers

so there's that

primal zealot
torpid sundial
#

I think its alright

#

I like it on my weap spec build

azure narwhal
torpid sundial
#

more melee focused

#

I dont think its great as a sidearm at least

#

Im using it over psword because I much prefer this energy system

azure narwhal
#

In a world where you can light spam to delete rager hordes safely in seconds with psword, falchion trembles

torpid sundial
#

rather than clicking special every 3 attacks

azure narwhal
#

I get that yeah

and i cant really mod with geforce now
