1's better at everything

#

and the beauty of 1 is

#

it's braindead

#

see a crusher? light spam

#

see a horde? light spam

#

see a boss? you get the idea...

hybrid pulsar
#

Is s2 moveset that bad?

quasi rover
#

What's the best dump stat for a power sword? Mobility or cleave?

hollow ibex
#

yes because it relies on heavies

hollow ibex
#

and heavies on falch

#

are totally dogshit

quasi rover
#

not the falchion, just power sword

hollow ibex
#

because fatshart doesn't know how to balance the game for shit

hollow ibex
quasi rover
#

ohh okay

#

so heavy - doodoo, roger

#

thank you ❤️

hollow ibex
#

oh that part's about falch

#

but actually it's pretty much the case for PS too

#

so that works KEKW_ogryn

quasi rover
#

lmao works for me

#

do yall prefer the dueling sword or power sword? im just trying out random stuff while i learn vet

tidal fox
#

powersword has great cleave when dealing with a lot of carapace

#

duelling is more of a single target thing with bad cleave

quasi rover
#

dueling stab heavy feels pretty strong yeah

tidal fox
#

especially with weapon specialist

#

but generally powersword is very strong

#

it's just slow

#

and higher skill floor than all melee weapons for vet I would say?

hybrid pulsar
#

So your telling me

#

The mark that’s with more heavy damage

#

Is better for light spam

#

And the mark with more light damage is better for heavy spam?

tall torrent
#

just check pinned guide

hybrid pulsar
#

It said mark 1 is better

hollow ibex
hybrid pulsar
#

I’m just trying to see the pros and differences between each

hollow ibex
#

it's a normal moveset which incorporates lights and heavies

#

which naturallly makes it worse

#

because that means the moveset is contaminated by the very slow heavies that falch gets

#

which decreases your damage output overall

#

this is on the old crusher hp but with mk1 your ability to chain light / push attacks so rapidly

#

completely offsets the damage bonus from heavies

but neither is that good

has anyone else just lost all motivation to play darktide

tall torrent

no update & bad event

#

im just sick of playing a game owned by such a comically greedy company

toxic reef
#

idk, idt my gameplay is affected by the mtx store

#

because I wouldn't call the two DLC classes greedy really

#

but then again this game stopped me playing warframe after playing that for 12 years, so I've lost all motivation to play one game at least

lucid crest
#

holy real

#

i quit warframe after 8k hours

toxic reef
#

core gameplay just stopped being satisfying there, where I always feel satisfied queuing up any auric game here

lucid crest
tall torrent
#

oh that

#

lol

#

it was pretty obvious that it was a bug from the very start

toxic reef
#

I thought they'd own it like they did with the cross-class head cosmetics for arbites

#

but it was prob too similar to the paid

lucid crest

especially when it looks the exact same

i doubt a single person ever complained about the free helmet looking too cool lmao

Why is this a surprise to some people when this has a theme since game release KEKW_ogryn

#

Including the shop treatment

desert viper
#

I mean

#

Anyone who isn't desensitized to it should be baffled

#

it's not a nice strategy for the consumer

torpid sundial
#

I tried ilas

#

why does it suck so bad compared to other guns

#

or maybe im the problem

#

laspistol feels like a superior ilasgun 🤔

unreal nova
#

Literally what everyone suggest if someone says they like the Inf Las is for them to try the fast mark of the laspistol.

torpid sundial
#

Well then

#

Fatshark pls

tame lodge
#

Except for like
Maniacs or something

void dragon
#

Honestly, the inf Lasgun needs an entire new special to be relevant against it's Lasgun peers, it just doesn't fill a niche the others don't do already

@unreal nova sorry for the ping i totally knew i had the clip. i fucked up bad not seeing it;

it wasn't pinged at any point and audio-wise i could mostly only hear the burgle at the time iirc. i only realized visually with the frozen effect on the camera

but im not actually sure how i killed it here tbh lmao. it just kinda gave up

when it stood up i literally yelled 😭

#

Why are power swords used, but falchions are not? They seem similar enough

turbid ibex
#

power sword is legit top 3 melee weapons in the whole game

atomic onyx
#

Yeah, I can definitely see that, but im wondering about the falchion

turbid ibex
#

falchion is like

#

ok

#

serviceable

tall torrent
void dragon
#

Less than the rashad while needing to manage the heat minigame

trail ore
turbid ibex
#

and also sheer dps

#

and cleave

void dragon
#

Is crazy how power cycler makes the Psword so busted beyond understanding

#

Without it it would be so inconsequential

trail ore
#

shit basically causes space and time collapse in on itself with sheer dps

turbid ibex
#

i mean power cycler is the thing that makes it not trash

void dragon
#

Well...maybe not, but not as bad

trail ore
serene bough
#

Its more amazing to me that they designed the powersword to be best in class for 1 swing and utterly laughable and bad when uncharged

turbid ibex
serene bough
#

I dont remember im pretty sure it still did

#

Power cycler was nerfed though

turbid ibex
#

now its more like they tried to balance it by making it require power cycler

turbid ibex
#

which didnt work lmao

serene bough
#

I wish it took the SM2 approach where activating changes moveset

#

Or at the very least the weapon was serviceable without charging and the charge mechanic had a cooldown but hit even harder than it does now

void dragon

but yes good concept

#

heroic pfist is like the only weapon where u can light spam

tall torrent
#

3 attacks

#

and it's the most varied one of them all

atomic void
#

its unironically the chainsword

#

the punch is nice stagger

#

the should bash is goated

#

the double stomp is fun asf

#

the funny kick after first light is decent for stunlocking

tall torrent
atomic void
#

u technically only need anim cancel and shoulder bash but all of the attacks have their use

atomic void
#

its still one of the most fun weapons cause the moveset involves your marine using his big ass frame

tall torrent
#

yea that's the only way to make chainsword good

#

"not use the chainsword"

#

I was actually gonna put "swap to ranged" as single target recommended combo for chainsword in my guide

atomic void
#

well sm2 doesnt have the stupid sticky shit, it has bad lights Haha

tall torrent
#

considering getting BT champ in sm2

atomic void
#

fun fact there's 1 move where u charge it and u sew someone and its only used for animation cancel ICANT

atomic void
tall torrent

1.5 years later the game still doesn't have a training area

#

ok man

tall torrent
dry cloak
#

When playing sm2 i didnt bother with anination cancels or what not

#

No one will stop me light spamming chainsword or fast stance powersword

tall torrent
#

fast stance power sword is nice

atomic void
#

fencing powersword just feels peak in general

#

its so fast and smooth

tall torrent
#

I'd like to get used to balanced but block just better

dry cloak
#

I just have problem with how thunder hammer was handled in sm2

atomic void
#

block is still the best but ive been enjoying balanced xenophase

#

actual nuke of a weapon

atomic void
#

once u get used to it

#

its a nuke

dry cloak
#

Pfff

#

You think i used block?

#

Balance thammer bulwark

#

Assault wad my psword class

tall torrent
#

deathwatch aesthetic is better imo

atomic void
#

fun fact balance hammer rn has the highest raw dmg outside of 2 charge blocks

#

so it can be used a lot more offensively since u dont need to get 2 charges

dry cloak
atomic void
#

well idk when u played

dry cloak
#

At least in my experience

atomic void
#

but balance weapons got patched this and last 2 patches

yeah u didnt get the buffs

In this run we use the Buffed Balance Hammer on Assault with a full Jump Dash Attack Build. The Jump Pack Dash(JPD) can now be used to cancel out of melee animations. This will allow Assault to play more aggressively while still able to avoid damage. This benefits weapons that have slow animations like the thunder hammer more than others. You ca...

What do you not understand

I played thammer on bulwark

u can do the exact same shit Haha

And idc

Likely wont return to sm2

whatever floats yo boat gigaxi

tall torrent
atomic void
#

that's what im saying yeah

tall torrent
#

across every weapon?

atomic void
#

yes

#

but its especially important on hammer cause it makes u do less attacks to kill things on a slow weapon

tall torrent
#

shame

atomic void
#

doesnt matter caue the attacks that matter do 20% more

#

is the helmet for the Trooper Gerrent Juker skin considered the karsrkin helmet or is there a difference?

#

What’s the havoc “meta” for vet

turbid ibex
#

plasma and power sword

#

check pinned guide

pastel knoll
#

plasma gun to beam elites from distance and power sword everything else 🙂

tall torrent
#

bugged & clips into itself tho

nova carbon
#

hey , a newbie just starting vet - is building for nades a viable strat?

silver patrol
#

yes

nova carbon
#

i heard plasma gun is good and i wanna get that but the other thing i can't decide on is the melee

silver patrol
#

i think basically every vet build takes some nades talents in any case

silver patrol
#

probably the best weapon for new players

nova carbon
silver patrol
#

decent at everything

nova carbon
#

the spike one

silver patrol
#

i suggest the uhh mk3?

#

or was it mk1

turbid ibex
#

mk1 is the one that doesnt fold

silver patrol
#

yeah that's the one

nova carbon
#

Ive also seen that vet has some power weapons , they any good?

silver patrol
#

The powersword is the best melee in the game, maybe

nova carbon
#

the sword and the other sword i cannot pronounce the name of

turbid ibex
#

power sword is top 3 melees in the game

silver patrol
#

the falchion exists, supposedly

turbid ibex
#

falchion is ok

silver patrol
nova carbon
#

god i hope fatshark adds a semi auto to auto toggle

#

carpal tunnel on vet has been my biggest hurdle

silver patrol
#

get the autofire mod

#

if you are using the infantry lasgun i suggest you change

nova carbon
serene bough
silver patrol
#

seems to me like the big draw of SM2 is more the mp than the singleplayer

#

the opposite of SM1

nova carbon
silver patrol
#

i'm just saying that fatshark can't be relied on to add the most basic functions

nova carbon
#

ever since warframe added a toggle like that i feel like it should be in every game

nova carbon

#

Darktide blows SM2 out of the water in gameplay so I never bothered

nova carbon
#

i have 50 h and most on oggy so idk

serene bough
#

Roughly 1 update per quarter

silver patrol
#

several years

serene bough
#

And updates will sometimes hit but other times feel lackluster

silver patrol
#

i'd argue that the actual good updates are more like

#

1 each half a year

serene bough
#

Ive been mostly in favor of the updates coming out

nova carbon
#

damn i thought it was worse based on how ppl talk abt it

serene bough
#

Then again I havent played darktide in a few weeks so im somewhat in break

silver patrol
#

also these events are dogshit

#

they are genuinely offensive

serene bough
nova carbon
nova carbon
#

i heard

silver patrol
#

among others

nova carbon
#

and i do not like that but ya gotta make money somehow

#

wish they made it in a better way but i understand

silver patrol
#

yeah but i thought the cosmetic shop's reason to exist was to make free updates

#

not also sell dlcs anyway

serene bough
#

Im not bothered too much by these things personally

somber axle
#

I quit for a year and came back to 2 new classes, new missions, new weapons, etc. and didn't even feel like I missed out on any good cosmetics tbh

#

Except maybe Vostroyan for the Helbore

#

Game is still fun

#

I was kinda disappointed in the Arbites because it plays fantastic but I kinda thought it would have some effect on the story and the only change was removing the funny inquisition moments of Morrow saying "ya gotta prove yerself" and then Rannick shooting someone

#

Like you get one intro cutscene and then they sorta cease to exist in the story in any meaningful way

#

I'm surprised others are upset with the current event because I've been having a lot of fun with it but if you've been waiting ages for new content and haven't taken a break it probably isn't too interesting

silver patrol
#

it's a rather big step down from the ration event

#

and the one before this was also trash

somber axle
#

What was the ration event?

silver patrol
#

ok so

#

well, it had a lot of it, but basically the community was split between recovering rations (a pickup in the map) or destroying them

#

if at the start of the day, pick up rations side was winning, all the stimms were buffed to give you permanent bonuses for the map

#

if the destroy side was winning, all guns had double the ammo and infinite cleave

#

also most trash enemies were replaced with moebians

somber axle
#

That's really funny but also how was destroying food making guns shoot infinitely

amber vortex
#

What was the one with the radio operator? That was fun

silver patrol
#

it's justified by the fact that destroying food means tertium rebelled for lack of food

#

so i dunno, you gunned down some people

somber axle
#

Wouldn't you have less workers and less labor for the manufactorums so less ammo crafted so less to go around

#

If they're rebelling they're not working

silver patrol
#

no idea lol, it was a bit nonsense, but still

tame lodge
somber axle
#

Funny event moment of shhh don't think about it is fine

silver patrol
#

i mean, if you picked up the food (it's tainted)

somber axle
#

The thousands of ogryns and hundreds of poxbursters don't make sense either but it's still fun

silver patrol
#

your drugs becomes ubercharged

#

how does that work

amber vortex
somber axle
#

Were the moebians spiking their rations with combat stims or something

#

I can see a desperate Wolfer or a cult of admonition play doing that to try to get the average groaner/shooter to be more of a threat and then it backfiring hard

silver patrol
#

oh also

#

if the pick up ration side was winning, there were increased monstrosities spawns

silver patrol
#

if the destroy side was winning, you had mutant wawes

#

i think

#

good times, it was genuinely a fun event

somber axle
#

The last event I played before I took a year long break was something about the Moebian 21st becoming infected and having a lot more flak/cleave values so it messed with people and basic hordes killed a lot of players in quickplay

silver patrol
#

that sounds just like the moebian mutator

somber axle
silver patrol
#

where the random trash is replaced by moebians and yeah, they alone are a pain

somber axle
#

I enjoyed Pacific Rim and like Godzilla movies

#

I'm ok just turning off my brain to have fun

#

That Moebian 21st event was so funny because no groaners no poxwalkers just infected Moebian 21st dudes and I could swear it gave the average quickplay group more trouble than the Ogryns and Poxburster trains I've seen this event

#

Look away for 2 seconds and the Psyker is down again

silver patrol
#

yeah you can't just keep swining against the trash like usual, your can't kill them fast enough, and weapons like the knife or the duelling sword just eat even more shit against those hordes

#

the ration event gave you double ammo and infinite cleave on guns tho you mowed them down still

somber axle
#

It was so funny watching people try to Dueling Sword their way through 21st hordes and get bullied

#

The new Dueling Sword parry is neat

#

Why'd they remove the quick jab stagger

silver patrol
#

because it was pretty ass

#

it doesn't make sense, it's just kinda ugly and a bit silly

somber axle
#

That's fair I'm just surprised because Devil's Claw is already the funny parry sword

silver patrol
#

the parry makes much more sense, but it should have been a straight stab

#

not like

amber vortex
#

Know what's really neat?

#

CHAINSWORD

silver patrol
#

a strange slash from the top?

somber axle
#

I want to love chainsword and I know it was changed too but when I need to clean up Carapace or Flak it just falls apart

#

It's still fun sometimes but wow it's not a good weapon for this event

#

Also yeah the Dueling Sword counterattack being a slash is odd

#

Probably just because it looks like they reused the animation for the devil's claw parry

#

And going from that weird lifted and angled hold to a thrust is just silly

#

Maybe if they gave the parry animation something unique that set it up for a thrust it would work better

amber vortex
#

JOIN THE CHAIN GANG

#

Rev is good....sometimes

#

On occasion

#

Uh, it can do bleed

somber axle
#

I remember messing around with blessings, perks and talents to try to get a rev one shot on Crushers with it and it was doable but that was before Crusher HP got buffed

#

Idk if that's even possible anymore

quasi rover
#

i assumed it wouldnt be good since it's so short but the combat knife feels pretty good so far

somber axle
#

2 revs to kill a Crusher even when you build around it and sacrifice horde clear is still so agonizingly slow

quasi rover
#

is combat knife ACTUALLY good at higher diff?

hearty panther
#

yes

hybrid pulsar
#

basically most weapons with that are good

silver patrol
#

Combat knife is just good

somber axle
#

It has weaker horde clear vs other weapons like Power Sword, TacAxe, Rashad Axe, etc. but it's a strong mobility tool and a good can opener. It's fine but you will sweat more fighting a mixed horde than using other weapons

amber vortex
#

Yes

#

Knife is meta

hybrid pulsar
#

having no clear when enemies are swarming is not for me lmao

silver patrol
#

it's not like it has no clear

amber vortex
#

I like chainsword just because feels

somber axle
#

I like knife sometimes but you definitely feel it when you are slowly grinding away at a mixed horde

silver patrol
#

but it's certainly a much, much better melee than chainsword

#

then again, most melee are prob

somber axle
#

I think shovel is my personal fav, not because it is one of the best (it's not) but because I love the WHUMP sound when it hits things

hybrid pulsar
#

chainsword purifier combo?

#

nvm

#

i forgot vet dont have that

silver patrol
#

is that a zealot node

hybrid pulsar
#

i call the flame thrower the purifier

silver patrol
#

ah right, i suppose that's its actual name

#

you'd have no way to handle crushers

somber axle
#

I like the 2H Chainsword on Zealot more than the 1H Chainsword

hybrid pulsar
#

its purgation flamer

hybrid pulsar
#

imo the chain weapons just need a buff overall

somber axle
#

Infantry Lasguns and Chainswords need love yeah

silver patrol
#

oh i thought you were asking for zealot

#

Chainsword need to be less about that garbo latch on special

hybrid pulsar
somber axle
#

I wouldn't rely too heavily on Kraks because you have to prepare for when you don't have a Krak grenade

silver patrol
#

all chains weapons, really

hybrid pulsar
#

like i see autoguns more than them

#

even the revolver

#

like infantry lasguns , what are their good use outside of flashlight ?

somber axle
#

I saw some iLas users with the Cadian cosmetics going SM2 NPC mode

#

But yeah it's just such a low tier Vet weapon and it doesn't help than the Laspistol does the exact same job better

quasi rover
somber axle
#

The iLas needs more to set it apart from the Laspistol imo

hybrid pulsar
#

for laser weapons

quasi rover
#

yeah

hybrid pulsar
#

then should be fine

somber axle
#

It doesn't have a unique identity other than weaker Laspistol with funny sights

hybrid pulsar
#

i barely use that gun tbh

silver patrol
#

the ias needs more to set it apart from the helbore if anything

#

literally outclassed by every las weapon

amber vortex
#

Ewe, helbore

hybrid pulsar
somber axle
#

It really is

hybrid pulsar
#

the sights are ok ish on i las

silver patrol
#

bro it has recoil

somber axle
#

That's just because goofy playtesters said the Lasguns felt bad so Fatshark added recoil

hybrid pulsar
silver patrol
#

or the pistol

hybrid pulsar
#

but the infantry mas produced wet tissue paper model has

silver patrol
#

or the recon

hybrid pulsar
#

guess thats why the guard dies so much lmao

hybrid pulsar
#

when i was leveling up my vet

#

i can remember dropping it instanly for any other gun

#

no damage , no mobility , recoil.

#

only good thing is that its ammo is good

#

which is the same for most laz weapons lmao

silver patrol
#

Eh

#

Helbore and ias are several cut above the laspistol and the recon in ammo efficiency

#

so ammo efficient it's basically a waste, can't even fire all of that

hybrid pulsar
silver patrol
#

i've never gone below 600 ammo with the helbore

hybrid pulsar
#

headshot for days lmao

#

maybe they buff it?

#

honestly maybe that have stats and see how little its being used

silver patrol
#

small problem there

#

this has been the case for like years

hybrid pulsar
#

i stared when the hivescum came out

#

its been like this for years??

silver patrol
#

yeah

hybrid pulsar
#

this bad

silver patrol
#

i don't think it has been touched since release

#

it was meta back then

#

the game changed but the weapon didn't

Gotta love the militarum drip

Better drip than the krieg

quasi rover

lmao

#

the name fits

amber vortex
#

I don't really hate the krieg, honest, but they're my least favorite regiment

mighty python
#

Their fans can be annoying sometimes

amber vortex
#

VERY annoying

#

Herher shovels

quasi rover
#

thtas kinda why i like the Cadians. other than saying "Cadia Stands" every 5 min they don't have a "thing" that gets pushed like crazy. just badasses with purple eyes

amber vortex
#

Already more personality than the krieg

#

Steel legion, now that's proper guard

mighty python
#

I think its kinda funny how, at least in my experience, the fans of the regiment known for being arrogant and prideful are some of the chillest people I've interacted with in the hobby, as opposed to krieg fans for instance

amber vortex
#

Honestly, think the krieg would be cooler if they dropped ww1 and went full religious zealot

#

Like, death masks and stuff

quasi rover
#

I just never liked the Krieg lore "Oh, your elites rebelled against the Emperor and the military sacrificed everything to take the world back? You've gotta sacrifice your young people forever."

amber vortex
#

You mean their clone test tub babies? Thanks Lyons, thanks for getting rid of the best part of the guard

#

Heard the new krieg book was good, probably because Lyons wasn't writing it. Gonna have to pick it up when I have ready cash

warm torrent
#

What are the ideal stats for the infantry lasgun?

amber vortex
#

Take laspistol instead

warm torrent
#

Guessing lasgun doesn’t perform very well atm?

amber vortex
#

Infi lasgun is just bad

tall torrent
amber vortex
#

Always dump mobility

#

9/10 its the best option

turbid ibex
#

or collateral

tall torrent
#

it depends

turbid ibex
#

collateral usually a better dump stat than mobility

amber vortex
#

What blessings are you running @warm torrent

#

With las?

warm torrent
#

I don’t have an inf las atm. Going around leveling the gear I don’t use. My las pistol is just whatever I’ve got bc it needs to be levelled

frigid kite
amber vortex
#

Las pistol is legitimately just better than infi las

#

Best thing about infi las is legit sights

quasi rover
#

yall prefer mark III or mark VI combat knife?

tall torrent
#

vi

amber vortex
#

Vi

tall torrent
#

it's just much better across the board

amber vortex
#

Depending on play style

quasi rover
#

id call my general playstyle "bad"

amber vortex
#

Are you focusing hoards or single targets?

tall torrent
#

vi is better at both horde and single target

warm torrent
#

Single targets with the mark perk for extra damage

amber vortex
tall torrent
amber vortex
#

I've just had a better time with hoards with III

#

BUT WE ALL KNOW THE REAL WINNER IS THE CHAINSWORD

#

CHAIN GANG 4 LIFE

tall torrent
#

one day they'll make chainsword good in this game

fair shale
#

It was good in sm1 tbh

tall torrent
#

maybe even this year

amber vortex
#

I like chainsword in sm² 🙁

fair shale
#

You either used chainsword with life steal or thammer with one shot as assault in sm1 horde mode

tall torrent
#

yea that's like the only good iteration of chainsword so far

#

and the best part is, the 2 attacks that are good on it aren't using the chainsword

#

shoulder bash & stomp

warm torrent
somber axle
#

Also yeah the theme was amazing

#

I really liked how the jaegars moved like they had such weight and momentum to them

frigid kite
#

2nd one feels like Transformers movie

somber axle
fair shale
#

It's a real shame they never made a sequel to Pacific rim

somber axle
#

Other weapons are just a lot stronger right now and if you like Lasguns go Laspistol, Helbore or Recon

#

If you really want to use Infantry Lasgun you can do it but good luck

#

It seems like an uphill battle on ice skates

narrow frost
#

It does pay off though

#

Inf las is havoc has been fun for dreg seeds for the rager and gunner 1 taps

Cause 2 is so

#

Poorly received

tame lodge
#

Is so ass

#

Recon is solid. I'd also recommend trying the Helbores. They're very clumsy weapons for the swap speed and reload speed but you can shoot Crushers with it. I've been doing an Executioner's Stance/Marksman's Focus Helbore build for the current event and it consistently 2 taps Crushers, 1 taps Reapers and Bulwarks on crit headshots

tame lodge
#

They collectively decided to ignore it

thorn lark
#

I want edge of tomorrow 2 🙁

#

Oh

somber axle
#

If you can get past the annoying learning curve of Helbores they're pretty satisfying imo

tame lodge
#

Also really wild because

#

I liked PR2

#

But maybe that was just brain off me speaking

somber axle
#

Is it good? I might go watch it

#

I just sorta assume that if something quietly dies and no one talks about it ever it probably bombed

Like Game of Thrones being such a weird cultural icon and then vanishing without a whimper after the fans hated the last season

Idc about the lore it's basically just Godzilla but giant robots for me. Like all the story is fluff and the main event is the big monster battle

If the battles are fun I can enjoy it

How do you rate the battles in the sequel vs the original movie

tall torrent
somber axle
#

That sounds kinda awkward as a backline support with your targets more niche

narrow frost
#

I can't stand helbore but inf las reminds me of my fps days and rewards my good aim way more then helbore does

somber axle
#

That's fair. Helbore is so much a love or hate weapon for how clunky it is

#

Feels like more than any other weapon you want a good cosmetic skin to make it feel less painful to shoot for how bad the default sights are

Like id rather take 0.2s slower reload and just tap it when ready

Than having to press it down to charge

Give vet a melta gun and give ogryn a heavy melta. Make blessing that the melta ignore armor.

Also a blessing that crits at or within half distance cuz Melta X tabletop keyword

Hello veterinarians

agile yew
#

Okay, that actually might make me wanna try it out finally

#

Never ever fired any of em yet

#

My vet has sadly ever only used Vraks IAG and Plasma

toxic reef
#

I didn't start using helbore until the class rework and ye that mod helps a lot

stable socket
#

helbore 5 with the 50% swap speed node is about as responsive as it gets, iirc it also has the highest DPS thanks to good fire rate but worst breakpoints

agile yew
#

New weapon could be something to get me into playing vet more, since ive returned ive played like maybe 5 games on it (thats total for past 2 years)

stable socket
#

so i would start with that to see how you like the helbore life. if you think "i really like this but i want to hit better breakpoints, even if it means my gun is clunkier and charges slower" then you can try the other marks

agile yew
#

Problem is i have like 300k, constantly starved on those to level new weapons to 20 and then crafting em

stable socket
#

it be like that sometimes

agile yew
#

So the more niche ones get ignored for now

thorn lark
harsh crest
#

So I've been trying to get better with the Helbore
Reading back up this channel i see i should really be charging it most of the time?

I typically just use the IIIa (i think, the faster tap-fire one) a lot since i found the heavier charge damage ones to not make much of a difference
Might be due to my weapons being pretty low level

dry cloak
#

3a is the middle one

#

And yes charging is the way with helbore

harsh crest
#

Alright, I'll get used to the slower Mark then

toxic reef
#

weight of fire blessing also decreases charge time on chained shots

severe hedge
#

yeah i overlooked weight of fire repeatedly because i was like 'ehhh but i could get something else a bit more exciting' and then i actually used it and nothing is more exciting than being able to actually shoot things at an appreciable rate LOL

harsh crest
#

That was one of the first things i went for, chaining charges quicker seemed pretty good

torpid sundial
#

Honestly I feel that for a melee build falchion dps is about equal to the pow sword

#

*when it is powered

tame lodge
#

It's statistically less than half of Psword dps

thorn lark

i feel =! facts

torpid sundial
#

numbers are there but my kill times are practically equal

#

towards crushers

tame lodge
#

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news dawg

#

I should definitely stop raining on people's parade

#

That being said
I won't chadgryn

thorn lark
#

do you use the pa + l on the mk6?

torpid sundial
#

yes

thorn lark
#

because it's a two shot

torpid sundial
#

pa + l l l

thorn lark
#

how can you be as fast with a falchion?

torpid sundial
#

its only a two shot if you crit those attacks

tame lodge
#

Animation cancel

torpid sundial
#

same talents

#

shrugg idk man

#

also falchion's range is noticeably further than pow sword's pa

#

so I prefer that

tame lodge
#

That's not mk6

serene bough
#

Mk6 power sword is the one people use

tame lodge
#

Yes mk3 and mk6 have different push attacks

serene bough
#

I completely forgot the mk3 power sword existed

tame lodge
#

I didn't chadgryn

#

That's why I immediately clocked it due to the vertical attack as pa

serene bough
#

I do want to try the mk2 falchion now though

torpid sundial
#

lemme try mk3 later in a match rn

#

but regardless the falchion's kill times are pretty respectable

#

not a h40 build anyways

torpid sundial
#

ok yeah the damage is insane though getting locked out of the power swings everytime you get hit by anything is plain annoying

I understand sometimes running smoke nades but why would you ever use shredders

mystic pilot

bleeds

#

they're good against mixed horde

mighty python

They're good for DOT

tame lodge
#

12 meters of bleeding

#

Add 2 Shredders and Uncanny Strike into the mix

#

And everything dies

#

And the usual bomber build is 15 meters iirc

#

That's almost ogryn nuke (16 meters)

pastel knoll
#

oh sheesh

#

so I guess if youre running some weapons that are shit with horde clear you can just pick up shredders and be ok

hey guys sorry for the noob question but i'm really scratching my head.. i followed two builds for veteran which i recently started playing :

The thing is, I realized in the current event that the "meme" krieg build is actually a lot stronger than the plasma... I can One Shot reapers and bulwarks in the head with a charged shot, and just keep on hitting... whereas plasma is muc hharder to use, i get one shots too, but not always on crushers... Am I missing something ? Misusing the plasma gun ? I get that its more powerful when the charge is high but still its hard to maintain ?

Second question : i see veterans doing lots of kills with one krak, when I usually kill only one. What am i doing wrong ?

thank yoouuu

tame lodge
#

Plasma is not made for killing crushers

#

Simple as

are you runnin krak with grenade tinkerer?

There's this slot manipulation system

In a way they get too close to each other

Finesse is really what makes helbore kill crushers

somber axle

It's also ammo economy. Shock Trooper with Surgical makes Helbore free to fire but Plasma will run itself dry if you're trying to shoot Crushers with it on this event

yeah if I can't get close to a monstrosity, I try to aim for its head or a weak spot like the pustule on back of chaos spawn. With the plasma

but it is the best scaling keystone for boltgun

really depends on weapons tho

oh yeah def run WS with that combo

also FT knife > MK knife

you also don't need to take any subnodes for WS on that setup, unless you want to
