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
Brauto is too slow to use Onslaught
The lowest dmg mark would be ok for onslaught but definitely not the agri
Yeah but then you're using graia brauto
There are better choices in guns then.
fucking finally
which combat knife synergizes better with a WS double barrel build?
id think the mark 3 right?
what makes it better?
It has better singletarget than mk3 and better clear
i think the thrust attacks are better single target no?
Push attack spam on mk6 is faster
The only thing mk3 has is faster lights and easier ST on small things. Push atks keep pushing dogs out of the way lmao.
ah i see
show me how can I change the build
Hold on
I mean the nodes
You can
Use it with whatever weapons you wanted
I just made it better while generally taking the same things
but what ranged weapon u mean
Whatever you want
but with better dps
I Will try it
is building around bleed bad if you're not playing havoc with rotten armour?
like this build i mean https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9fad575e-f27e-44fc-bd9f-f62dd7ed4001/how-to-have-fun
im using the combat knife instead of the shovel
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 ?
and the new powered weapon for veteran ?
Its ok
for heavy armor ?
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
pretty good but the real weakness of the weapon is ragers
Well I pair that shit with a shimpact bolter
yes I try to stay away from them usually , but I use block in everything for survive or dodges all the time
I like use block in my curios and melees
Killing things faster helps prevent a mission from degenerating to a clutch scenario
On curios is meme, never put on weapon.
what is the most meme curio perk?
How to spot a bad player? Toughness regen.
damn ok
guess ill kill myself
That at least works on grims. Toughness regen simply does nothing unless not in battle and next to someone.
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.
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
You never see how trolls do it on purpose just to nuke pubs hp then leave.
Because there's no vote to destroy.
yeah but it is memey
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
Ever heard of gunker?
i have never heard this term in my life! tell me everything
You go right side and use gun.
On psyker.
which gun! there are a lot.
recon
nooooooooo
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
i can, but these days if i can accomplish something by just downloading a lua file i will do that instead.
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.
I kinda finished troubleshooting DT for Linux and man it just runs better than win11 somehow, way better framerate stability
any particular hot takes on perks, blessings? i was thinking just good ol +crit% +unyield and like, blessings, hmm, hmmm HMMMM
probably desperado and Whatever™ (i.e. dumdum)
ive honestly never felt impressed by infernus as far as tangible effect goes, but if anyone has hard numbers to throw at me id be inclined to change my tune
@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?
lower level havocs are going to be similar to heresy/damnation/auric
so what ever you use for that should be fine
Are you running shock trooper?
my god i have never had as much fun as playing knife, double barrel WS vet
feel like grimdark rambo on crack
"Close, kill and do it again" 
no actually i'm not lol
Is that survivalist proc?
no survivalist gives like 8 bullets back
correct me if i'm wrong
No clue never used a recon
thats the infantry lasgun not the recon lol
The reaper
DEATH
kinda tempted to do a mind scourge but idk what i want for my veteran(f)
dont wanna sound like an angry farmgirl
though it kinda feels like nobody picks professional
Nun it is than
Missing out on peak smh my head
It's like "nu'n"

more like nutt'n
Nuh 'uh.
Is it worth it to take the uh, crit ignores armor mass blessing for hsword
If not ws
Even for ws?
Yup
Headtaker Deathblow are just that good
Perfect Strike + Chained Deathblow/Bladed Momentum is what I run on meme builds
No because that's pretty much redundant
You don't really have to care about hit mass because of Deathblow mechanics
ok den, means i change it to headtaker
At least against non Ogryns
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah Deathblow Headtaker are just that good
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
Either a must have or dumpster fire.
If you are lucky, you get to choose between 3.
Are you using the efficiency blessing
no?
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
Likely another class ranged weapon that fits.
expect there wasn't a hive scum in the video
at the time in the squad i was in
No bots?
no bots it was 2 zealots myself as a vet and 1 arbi
no it was 4 in the squad
Do you have the full talent tree somewhere?
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.
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
Oh, that could totally be it.
But usually doesn't happen that much. More likely to have shot air instead.
no it happens pretty consistently for me
No always prepared. Hrm...
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
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
could be
Just to test things.
hold on the ilas is a psyker force sword right?
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
ok
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
Actually no clue
Yeah +2 instead of +3
I think its your latency
You can even see the number flicker a bit before giving you the +2
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
Well glad I brought it up lol
yeah i'd also guess that it's just Shock Trooper proccing and latency making it 'replenish' ammo right after you fire a crit
Guy doesn't have shocktroop.
Heresy or sanctioned!?
I keep forgetting that right click with the Plasma Gun isn't an aim down sights.
It's the heavy shot.
ye definitely something to get used to
<@&735928989146939404> ^
what does path not want people to know??
Oh god, they finally found out that they can spam mains instead...
aww i missed it was it anything worth seeing
crypto scam
yea that checks out
been a lot of people getting hacked lately, i've gotten 7 unsolicited friend requests the last 2 days and i normally average 3 or 4 a month
2 of them were from here
and i know for a fact nobody here thinks i'm good enough at the game to add to their friends
What the hell😭
And stop clicking everything without a second thought

That can change

Doesn’t need to aim thanks to perfect accuracy
Reminds me of an Arby we had in havoc yesterday who had done the opposite, rushed to bottom of the tree then unlocked every node he could from the bottom up
Meanwhile HS is the opposite
He went middle keystone too
The horse racing test
💯🔥💪
i'd say HIV is top and bottom

Perfectly balanced?
No he isn’t
He’s just bad
And new
He went down instantly
Not surprised
i hope he took 3 wound curios
We had someone who ran an extra curio
Died a lot too
Playing stealth zealot lets me watch these people die a lot more now because u can actually res
Fair. That could also make it semi-viable for a sharpshooter build.
does repleneshing ammo to self count for this
Shout's all you need, I suppose.
I don't think so, but you'll get it one way or another because survivalist is really the only vet aura you will ever see. Higher difficulty quicker completion ofc, waves of dogs helps
How do I add pictures to my comment?
Dog waves die too fast
You only get 1-2 procs really
Eh i mean, other than that nothing else really stands out
That penance is as play the game as it gets
Yeah
It’s incredibly easy
And yep neither of the other vet auras are worth it when compared to survivalist
Does anyone knoe a good veteran build for highest damage?
Know
I just got asked in a map how I got to level 30 and im getting sad about it
Well first and foremost that's just darktide community moment
So don't mind it
Other than that, check pins
It's better to learn than to copy paste
@azure narwhal Thank you my friend 👍
What's pins? You mean the descriptions for each ability or passive?

If on mobile you will have to click # veteran class, go to "pins" section and look at the first post. Hammer of the emperor guide. If on PC, notice the thumbtack icon on your top right
There will be a lot there
But i suggest reading through the main points
@azure narwhal Got it! Thank you once again 🙂 you have been truly helpful. Emperor protects.
Heheheh.
Flak on Plasma.
Imagine.
Couldn't be me.
...
I think.
Flak unarmoured
What's wrong with that?
I love how, miraculously, both times I tried out the plasma gun, it was when it either crashed the server, or it somehow managed to lag out my NASA build computer.
Ain't the plasma gun strong enough to wipe out flak armored enemies without issue?
Yes plasma can shoot thru most enemies without issue
But would you prefer to kill them in one or 2 hits?
I can barely tell the difference in my Auric games with it.
Bwa-zoom, bwa-zoom, bwa-zoom...
Everybody dead.
Go into the Psykanium
You can see the breakpoints there
Unarmored is probably more important tbh
Unarmored enemies have more health
they don't anymore
Dam misinformation strikes again 😔
Unarmoured is important for tox bomhers
dreg gunners too
Yeah they’re a bastard too
scab bruisers 
Doesn't the psykanium also behave a little weird?
Heard the stamina curios are glitched out in it vs. actual match gameplay.
psyk can be wrong
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?
no
Groovy.
it displays rounded number but actual value is not rounded
Does he know what he's cooking in his mind
Cooking those roids
18 yo natty vegan
Almost as natty as i am
When some mf rando pisses me off in the darktide pubs so i lowk full roid rage blast their ears with incoherent madman ramblings and slurs
I need a white monster to calm down
White Monster for a white monster?
Least insane Albanian
U have that on tab perma
I know about balls but that's all you can get out of me.
It's so fucking hilarious he's smoldering like the looksmaxxer broccoli head boys in the gym
I like that guava monster flavor
Wish harrassment was legal so i could throw dumbbells at them as they record their lifts
Fucking gymfluencers
Catch this 20kg plate kurva
mango monster also pretty good
Seems balanced, was that through tgh bar?
share build?
power falchion is so fun
good balance, shroudfield DR, hubris, bleed for the emperor, restoring faith, faith's fortitude
this one?
oh this isn't shroudfield
There's a shroudfield and fury variant of the build
u can build the rest however u want (except martyr) as long as u take those
#veteran-class message thats pretty much it right there.
You can quite literally make anything revolving around the "build" because it's those particular things you need.
power falchion my dearest and beloved... bit of a shame its mid
meh too lazy
It's not really a build more than it is a core of a build.
can fatmangus marty work
no
It's not fatmangus anymore. The loss of health actually matters a lot.
i think i might fatmangusify my piety evis build
The entire point is that you bulk up your health and with those nodes, that big health pool becomes your damage resistance.
Fatmangus is designed around using relic blade
More like fuop
Qualityslop.
You only like it 'cause it's high quality.
I. Would not call falchion high quality
Slopslop
It's quality to me 'cause I look good swinging it.
Dogs drinking water be like:
Me when I look good slapping the poxwalker thrice
Me when I look good tanking four crusher overheads as Arbi.
It's ok
The voices told me falchion will become better in 2026
Me when I look good tanking six as fatmangus
Me when I look good.
Notice how they mention tanking crusher instead of 1 shotting
#nooticing
I'll get 'em...!
Eventually.
Yeah fatmangus can just oneshot the crusher afterwards
Unless it’s rotten
Every warhammer game ever is literally barbie doll simulator with some gameplay sprinkled in
Older games had some nice stories too
Drip or drown in atoma
God, you're right.
SLAY THE HERETICS, AS I SLAY WITH MY ARMOUR PILGRIMS
If only there were better hair options for our dear warband.
Darktide would be very potent as a 40k game if it focused solely on that but i understand why modern 40k games don't do that anymore
Imagine a DT with modular customization and painting, all of the classic regiments with their many variants.
Going from DoW1 levels of customization to modern 40k standards is very sad :c
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH KING
GOD
I MISS DOW
"Twitch drops, take it or leave it."
-Obeasefish.
Where has my 40k gone
I may not be old, but I'm loving the heck out of Dawn of War already.
Twitch colors are just all over the cosmetic
No sense of fashion
Down of war unification mod

If it was a bit more organized it would go hard
But I guess they need to make it different
So it stands out
okay I finally caved and am spending resources on a Duelling Sword for my Cadian Vet
It's one of the TF2-esque slap a texture on a cosmetic.
It blows.
Playing Unification mod as IG modeled after SEAF lol
The illuminate aren't so tough when introduced to an Imperial Knight UwU
Lmao
Giving guard EATs
Seeing a baneblade in SEAF colors is funny to me though. Just a bright blue super heavy rolling around
DOW is making me want a rotary grenade launcher for vet in DT.
Am I wrong for it?
I lowkey wished more marines used imperial knight patters. Love how medieval they are. Some chapters like howling griffons do get fairly close though
No, in fact I've complained for a while about wanting special weapons for Vet
I'm still waiting on melta for the sole reason that it'd be cool
I am a bit of a nooblet. Tell me more about some special weapons.
No
In fact we are yearning for some cool ranged weapons
Fatshark give me a heavy stubber
I'm the guy with a SAW
Raaaagh
Even though vet needs more good melees
The "common" ones are stuff like Grenade launchers, Flamers, Meltas, Plasmas
Power fist 🙏
Power fist is space marine weapon, power claws though
I am also dying for a form of sword and shield
Power fists can be used by humans too
we need dual wield weapons
Some IG officers and commissars use them
WE NEED MORE DUAL WIELDING BRO
Not strictly. Plenty of higher ranking astra militarum units like commissars have them. Hell, lower grade pfists are even issues to common veteran soldiers
gimme fucking double chainaxe
Dual wield chainsxes
let me larp as a khorne berzerkers
Dual bolters UwU
Blood for the emperor, skulls for the golden throne
anyway
i just threw an auric mission because a burster killed me despite being shoved
so i got on roblox in a fit of rage

Happens to me every time
Or some guy shoots it while im shoving it away (I pinged it, random sees red random shoots)
Yeah I just run away from bursters and only shove as last resort
I shove cuz I try to stay with my team as a preacher zealot
If I see a guy fall behind I go for him
firstborn my beloved
learn to shove
you will never outrun ;;
You, get a kiss. 💋
Bolt pistol is good from my experience, it doesn't kill burster outright but it throws him back
or the aoe fuckyou
Firstborn are peak
I don't trust my team not to shoot them so I've stopped pushing bursters
the burster seems clinically designed to fuck you over for tryng to run
I take more damage from teammates than enemies
shove or bust, literally
Firstborn are so much cooler actually, the screaming helmets are so iconic, hate to see them being replaced by primaris helmets
Average burster interaction
the whole armor design was better to me
I haven't been hit by a burster nearly as often as a teammate launching me somewhere
Yes
praying they eventually upsize them
seems more likely they'll just be lazy and give primaris a mk 7 helmet or 2
per 5 man squad
Primaris are what happens when you tell chatgpt to make a space marine
Oh right they're calling 1st gen space marines "firstborn" now lol
I kept thinking you meant Vostroyans
Y'know I realised its just GW strategy to ruin what people love and then sell the other version of it
that implies they're competent enough to do it on purpose
Ahem ahem old world ahem ahem
Mk2-mk8, gotta differentiate from the stinki primaris
Or neglect it until everyone forgets lol
Yeah that too
Rip any xeno enjoyers
Xenos at least get models
Eldar players experiencing extinction IRL just like their favourite race in lore
firstborn space marines are literally the worst off faction in 40k
Much like the big space lobsters I’m sure they’ll adapt 
Wait eldar not getting models is not a thing anymore
sad Harlequin noises
Sad inquisition noises
Eldar have had most of their range updated
with more to come
The subfactions aren't to my knowledge
The main faction has
One of my friends is still holding out for exoites 
they'll prolly get some
before mk 7 marines do
lol
would not be shocked to hear they got a KT in a year
I'm still going to bully him for it
honetsly
he should start saving money for it
nonzero chance he gets some within a year
the newest mission in DT has genestealer easter egg btw
No Man's Land?
I better bully now while I have the chance 😔
jeanstealer
yea
there's genestealer logo on some files in the basement u breach at the end
Yeah
Genestealer is a red herring for a dark eldar raiding party UwU
I expect at some point we get the other hive
The plot thickens
With genestealers
It's going to be necromunda again
Where I get mauled because I dare place my feet on the ground
It just loads a SM2 match as an IG soldier
What's next? Orkz?
I'm sure I can take on an ork in melee UwU
DT player characters prob can beat orks in melee
In a fight right?
Plasma Vet wins again
:3
Dt characters would tear through them
DT characters would take on heretic astartes like fucking gaunts ghosts would LOL
I'm also sure I can take an ork.
12 ghosts take out like 5 archtraitors with basically spit, tape and a dream
Just remember the pamphlet
Grab the orkz wrist as it swings

given DT player characters' feats (DT is canon), they prob would have somewhere like 1:1 or 2:1 trade ratio with heretic astartes
which is ridiculously high
Insane little rejects, aren't we?
Reminds me of Rogue Trader moment where an unaugmented human can take down a Changer of Ways
just so yk there're canonically like 1.3M+ cadian 13th black crusade survivors recruited as rejects (since 2y ago)
FS's own numbers
I hope they post more stats :c I recall the top deaths in a mission was like 80 lol
Now I really gotta know.
How come folk hate Primaris marines so much?
81:4000 trade ratio is still a massive win for the imperium
Yeah but you do also potentially have an astartes with you and a few other things and you have all the equipment of a very well equipped group
SUDDENLY there's just bigger space marines using Dark Age of Technology weapons.
And they've even more expensive c:c:c:
Indeed I just want to know if that 80ish deaths record got beat lol
Changer of Ways, thinking he can outwit me, of House Von Valancius.
25 INT.
I think you mean Cassia soloing the entire game
If anyone could do the biggest ass-pull in Warhammer, it would definitely be Cawl.
Cassia has received multiple, immense nerfs since the game release and she still solo clears 
They also tried to remove geneflaws and shit
Which is a huge part of marines personality as factions
Any of 'em succeed?
Wanna know my Doom Guy build?
I barely use her
For good reason, she trivializes the game
'Cause I heard the Cursed Founding also tried to do that.
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
I miss when Cassia could get 150 hp at like lvl 8 😔
Honestly it happens the instant you get a momentum build online
I actually don't know 🤔
Would be curious if Primaris marines still suffer from their geneseed "issues"
as opposed to how difficult the game is otherwise lol
Until I hear of Primaris boys just... not falling to the Black Rage, I'm pretty sure they've still got trials and tribulations to go through.
Like being endlessly hazed by the rest of the chapter.
I like RT a lot but the balance is pretty wacky
Its more the fact she's just naturally like that without buffs
And having bolt rifles that can barely kill termagaunts. (Why is Darktide a bigger power fantasy than SM2 lmao)
Yeah
It's really funny
Real Power Fantasy hours
more that it's very unequal
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
They do. They tried to get rid of it and it didn’t fly
was, maybe, I think she's been nerfed a bit but she was ridiculous early on
Pasqal is so fucking bad
After the initial Pascal nerf, plasmas turned to ass
Meltas were just always bad :c
It’s kinda just operative in general I think?
I'm just in SM2 for the drip, man... even then... uuugh...
I think after the killing edge nerf it’s a lot worse now
It’s a lot of effort to make it function
They nerfed the shit out of Pascal and Operators for like no reason
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?
Yeah...Flamer Ulfar is the best we got him to do
Oh, and aren't some characters locked with mid ability/skill picks?
Like Jae's 16 skills look... nnneeeh...?
Or that sprinting makes you 25% more damage lol
At least it makes sense with melee weapons. More momentum means more damage.
Yeah part of why Argenta and Cassia are so good is because they don't have dogshit starting picks lol
EXACTLY!
Indeed :c
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
yeah was so disappointed
also ulfar's starting build is so trash
i used toybox to reset him to 0
Me always shooting Maz on sight
i didn't even know you could recruit him
neither until I was told, lol
and i don't know why you would
he's so shootable
honestly, purely to stunt on him tbqh
me everytime i see maz
Stoopid Dark Eldar.
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
He’s so shit. Feels like he shouldve been a blade dancer executioner like kibellah
The funniest part about Maz is that you can have a sub or dom relationship with him
ahem
Who said that
then he's all "grr you'll never break me etc etc" but then folds like laundry so
I miss when Pasqal had the "+1 AP when shooting a plasma weapon uncapped" talent
That's how my team found out the attack hard cap is roughly 13 
i only played RT recently
so he was pretty crap
It only procs once now and it was his ONLY trick
I played at release and so many of my builds are dead now 
His trick is being tech-fren.
i was also so disappointed by arc rifle
His trick is sitting on the Morningstar whilst I use toybox to give my RT +150 logic and tech use so I don’t need to fuck with boxes
Yeah anything with single shot seems ass except sniper because built-in +50% crit damage
Shotguns are good
Ah yeah I can see a Sanctic Psyker shotgun build
Oh fuck I forgot to try Hive Scum shotgun build lol
poor magos...
U can have shotguns doing like 200-500 damage a shot depending on point in the game
still, RT is the game that got me into 40k because I used to think this franchise was some dorky shit
Been trying bolt pistol because I can finally use bolt pistol without feeling bad it takes 2-hit to kill
turns out it's actually quite cool when it isn't about fucking space marines
Argenta + Shotgun is literally doom slayer
Owlcat are the saviours of gaming tbh
i don't think i ever equipped argenta with anything other than bolters
yeah it's her best choice really
It's also very interesting to see the other xeno factions like Eldar c:
I gave her lasguns because -30% enemy dodge
I tried 3 different builds with her
Brrrrr
Shotgun
Flamer
I can attest that Argenta goes hard with all of those
Yrliet? Eh. Mazzy? Kill on sight
Bolters are alright but dodge is the highest difficulty bullshit
Love being an Eldar kisser.
yeah RT gave me an inaccurate impression on how popular Drukhari were lmao
I'll probably try melee Argie next
Just go arbite origin and shotguns literally become fucking archeotech instagibbers
apparently these guys get hardly any love by GW
dodge doesn't matter when you can dump 20 bolter rounds downrange 
Dodge doesn’t matter when confident approach
I think GW just forgot Eldar existed until stuff like Rogue Trader and Battlefleet Gothic
Meanwhile the average Act 3 enemy having something stupid like 180% dodge 
Confident approach.
Lasguns have less Recoil than bolters too so more shots hit even if there's less of them
U have a ton of recoil mitigating gear by then
Damage
Las weapons also have terrible penetration too
Need more damage
That’s literally what confident approach does?
I've never been bothered with armor pen using lasguns
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
Overpenerration not armour penetration
That's the dodge reduction per Versatility stack ability right?
Just get blessed bolter casing
Oh that's not really useful imo
It also means you always take the max damage
So if u do
15-31 damage
It just always takes 31
Only works on single shots sadly
I personally found blessed bolter case overrated
It’s got use, but very specific use
It’s fantastic early
yeah turns out i use single attacks on argenta once every three combats?
I mean with the finest hour ult
It’s helpful
I use it to build versatility stacks at best
Let’s u blast the fuck out of people
All out or whatever it’s called + start with 2 stacks gets you to 5 or so and anything more is irrelevant with confident approach
You can make a really fun dual wielding pistol build with Blessed bolter casing
Lovely
A shame I can't find many good bolt pistols early on :c
Yeah 😭
That does sound funny
I miss blessed bolter casing also granting guaranteed crits
WOOO!
that was fun comboing with shovel
so fast
infernus or ghost on heavy laspistol?
honestly both good choices
I advocate dumdum+infernus
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
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
psword takes some getting used to
“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
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
it's unironically a really good melee to force yourself to learn melee fundamentals
you can't just dodge your way out of everything
Yeah
I like the psword
It’s very satisfying
Feels great to poke overhead something and watch it topple
i have two speeds
dodge and kill
-_-
what else is there?
shove?
yeah knowing when to push/block as well
and just generally, good positioning
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 >.>
take a WS build, use PS and practice 👍
yes
Power sword doing funny stagger
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
FT is just so... eh
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
Yea FT helps pretty good with that
Or stance
i like stance but shout just feels safer... there's something wrong with poxbursters these days
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
Perfectly viable tbh
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
good but you really really need to hit weakspots
normal lasguns are kinda sad
useable, but there's no real reason to use them outside of larp
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 😛
weapon customisation.
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
i dmd u
ty, will go grab the mod discord then use the link
nww
Wait is putting focus target on left click viable now??
why the fuck would you do that
well, unless you're asking for your teammates to barrel you
if you do this I'm asking you to rebind your tag button immediately
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

u can just bind tag n ping differently tho ? like its not that deep bro
Or leave a dog on you or leave you netted.
Same results.
yup
tbh
it doesn't bother me too much anymore
because i simply turned off the ping sound 
theres a ping sound ?
Still sucks if that increases risk of a net since no warning to a pinged thing behind you.
bugged?
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
Do you guys think i could make a commisar build?
Commisar themed is just run Voice of Command, a power weapon, and a 1 pistol
Yes, old.
Which means just running weapon spec
Waiting for powerfist.
Yeah that was kind of the idea
Not sure if im gonna go saber or Chainsword
well im new to the game what can i say
Generic power sword is the best avaliable power weapon
Get old man Yarrick's NOT BOLTER skin as bonus.
Commisars run laspistols all the time
Like Commissar Yarrick does.
Oh yeah absolutely i like the parry a lot
And I'm sure I could find one who likes a stub pistol
and the 2nd version light heavy light combo
Generic power sword is special -> light x3
For clear
Or special -> push attack -> light x2
are we talking about the same weapon?
Uhhh...
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
Flak body, no choice.
running weakspot crit 
i genuinely couldnt fucking kill the bitches even if i spammed bodyshots with exestance on
You can, after you nuked a clip maybe. XD
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
Because they wanted vets to suffer. They are most deadly to vets since toughness to 0 on a vet is death.
mk4 or mk7 choose the moveset you prefer
Plus lowered toughness gen.
Blessing and perks? 
i would like the dclaw more if it actually did something to carapace outside of a tickle
shred, wrath flak maniac
ah yes
bladed un augmented weapon cutting through SOLID METAL PLAtE
yeah
its gonna be shit into carapce
just, give it a fucking stab so you can go for chinks
instead of this bell ringing swing
Hi, dueling sword.
thats the outlier here
clang clong clang clong
Hi. Shivs.
That's dog against anything with any armour.
why would i take a chain weapon that's weak against armor 😂
completely counterproductive
It's kinda bad on flak as well.
eh
wouldnt say so
maybe was lucky
i dont use it whole lot
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.
conduction
Is more, my build was also dictated by rng.
No peril reduction.
Runs bb bubble dd.
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
does anyone use out for blood?
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
yeah hellbore it's nice with focus tree
but for some people don't wanna go melee or suport
If over 60%, I quell personally.
i'm a hybrid of melee and support
Is why I hate meleegryns lul.
Recon only.
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
it's feel boring
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
I used melee builds with vet after My xbox microsoft account got hacked
not gonna lie but was boring as fk
eh....
60% is my minimum threshold lmao
warp rider and nexus lul
By the time I'm done charging, It's 75%+.
If you really want to edge peril well on psyker i suggest tap quell -> min cast
You are taking full advantage of all high peril bonuses
god i hope they buff this staff
Is mobility dump stat on shovel or is that just on the ogryn
Same tbh it's quite unfortunate that its performance doesn't particularly do anything too well
Mobility or defence. Doesn't really matter.
Difference is too slight.
Is there a document that shows all dump stats?
Hammer of the emperor guide in this chat's pins
Hammer of the Emperor for vet.
But isn't that one only builds?
The builds are meh but the rest are good?
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.
I am confused.. Why use the Veteran class channel for Psyker? Did I miss a change to Vet?
You need to read more carefully above before saying that.
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
Energy leakage is the better choice for damage but not exactly recommended. Without wrath you will lack cleave in trash and mixed hordes
huh
doesnt strength give cleave anyways
I do feel like I have enough cleave regardless
well, in power mode
its shit in non power
Comparing 20% to 200%
fair
how is decapitator ?
Would you trust the falchion to one shot much of anything 

hey it can one shot trash mobs
and bruisers on the head at least
oh it can one shot chargers
so there's that
idk i havent used it in a while but i think its overhated
Moreso because power sword exists tbh
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
In a world where you can light spam to delete rager hordes safely in seconds with psword, falchion trembles
rather than clicking special every 3 attacks
I get that yeah
eh.... idk, i hate the fucking peril noise
and i cant really mod with geforce now
