Plus with the talent set up I ran I could get to a 1 tap on Crushers with a combat stim whenever I found one on a map

#

It was mostly just Hive Scum spamming rockets tho

#

@tall torrent competitive urge worth it?

tall torrent
willow prairie
#

lore reason?

#

Looking for chill friends to play with while I work on builds

slow spade
#

Because teammates can't kill for shit and 2.5% chance lmao

#

(Also it never procs when you actually need it)

willow prairie
#

assuming h40

tall torrent
# willow prairie lore reason?

so first off u need to know that DT uses pseudo RNG, but it's really weird because it truncates chance percentages which stretches out the probability curve significantly towards lows

willow prairie
#

since it refresh during activate and last for 8 sec

tall torrent
#

comp urge is 2.5% chance

#

"on average" it should work once ~40 teammates' kills

#

however in the PRD model used by the game, there's only ~50% chance this works once across ~40 teammates' kills

#

it's theoretically possible to go 1.6k+ teammates' kills before u get a comp urge proc

Consistent damage > gamba

willow prairie
#

99% of people quit before they win big

tall torrent
#

it's not that the gambling sucks

tall torrent
#

it's that, first off, the effect is good but not "that good"

hybrid plover
#

There's also a really major flaw with comp urge.

tall torrent
#

20% global dmg is good
20% melee stagger is really case dependent and usually doesn't change stagger breakpoints
and 20% suppression we don't care about

#

and secondly

#

the RNG is not in ur control

hybrid plover
#

It's a completely dead talent if you're out of coherency.

Meaning, if you happen to be the last one alive, it's just completely dead.

willow prairie
#

i was wondering since thge +20% base damage is kinda huge

tall torrent
#

comp urge doesn't check coherency

willow prairie
#

comp is any ally

hybrid plover
#

It doesn't?

tall torrent
#

someone can kill a groaner 125m+ away from u and u randomly get a proc

hybrid plover
#

Huh.

#

I guess it's

#

Better?

tall torrent
#

yea it's one of the very few that doesn't check coherency

#

unfortunately

hybrid plover
#

But that doesn't change the other part.

tall torrent
#

the buff itself is good but not "so good that it's huge"

hybrid plover
#

Which is that it's just dead if you're the only one alive.

tall torrent
#

and the RNG is horrible

#

I actually think

#

if u wanted comp urge

#

do urself a favor

#

and run marksman instead

#

if ur gonna run a high dmg less uptime talent might as well get smth u actually have control over & know when it's active

slow spade
#

Also comp urge procs generally happen during hordes and not boss or patrols where you need the buff the most

tall torrent
#

comp urge could be ok if it was 5% chance and lasted much longer

orchid hemlock
#

Did they buff recon? 😈

willow prairie
#

nah

#

but the ranged cleave talent is decent

Screen clearing a wall of ogryns is a dopamine hit

#

I got Hive Scum during the event and it was so goofy

#

Infinite ammo pickpocket spray and pray everything, then your blitz refreshing when you wipe Crusher walls so you can just use it again on the next wave too

slow spade
#

The worst were the burster waves as people INSISTED on pushing them

#

But it's like 10 bursters lol

tame lodge
#

-Brick, where did you get that rocket propelled grenade
-I don't know

slow spade
#

VoC can't stop more than 1 burster explosion lol

somber axle
#

People sprinting at a burster wall to try pushing them and then dying instantly from full HP

#

It was such a funny event LMFAO

slow spade
#

"erm you always push bursters lmao" -> gets hit because they only pushed 2-3 of them

somber axle
#

I remember running all max HP curios with HP perks and corruption resist on my Arbites purposely to run at them while Castigator's was up and slap them to see how far they'd throw me

#

I could get away with however many popped in my face and then do it again just for fun

#

It was funny how much Arbites just doesn't care about poxbursters

unreal nova
#

Ehm, 70% now.

somber axle
#

That and Arbites has a crazy high HP pool too and stacking HP curios/corruption resist made it feel like the poxbursters only ever tickled LOL

#

Not as much as Ogryn but like Castigator's

#

200 HP base still goes far especially with all the funny HP curios

fair shale
#

You can become immune to them iirc

#

Nah they changed casti

#

Nvm

willow prairie
#

-10% less dr for 20% strength

#

pretty good

fair shale
#

Yeah, I'm not sure if that makes you flat out immune to bursters

somber axle
#

No but they don't really hurt

#

Rumbling Giants had a lot of funny things to play with while it was going but I imagine the average Zealot had an awful time

fair shale
#

Ik Casti+Tree pox resist+1 resist curio blessing made you immune which was funny

somber axle
#

Arby was funny for infinite shock mines so it never mattered how many Crushers/Bulwarks spawned you were just going to lock them down so the Vet/Scum could clean up

brittle herald
#

How do I make veteran more fun?

#

He was my favorite character when I started playing the game but now he’s just kinda

#

Not fun anymore

#

I’ve tried a few different builds but none have given me the same enjoyment as other characters

distant plaza
brittle herald
#

No I think other than arby I haven’t touched a shotgun in this game

#

I will give it a try thank you

iron parcel
#

unrelated but do you have a version of this build that can use infiltrate

#

my friend is glued to dueling sword infiltrate BAG rightnow for some reason and i want whats best for him

#

not me fr

#

someone else that isn't me

#

i don't know why they like stealth so much aside from it being clutch for rez

distant plaza
brittle herald
#

Does anyone else not like the dueling sword? Even with proper blessings it just feels like I’m swinging nothing

iron parcel
#

i liked it 2y ago when i last used it KEKW_ogryn

#

on psyker

brittle herald
#

No oomph

distant plaza
#

DS doesnt have very rock n roll horde clear
So I haven’t used it since getting its mastery to 20

iron parcel
#

popping heads on ragers and shit is satisfying but it kinda has the most fuckass horde

iron parcel
#

and you can do the former with other stuff

tame lodge
#

Still strong though

spice osprey
#

plasgun is so BOOOOOORING!!!!!

iron parcel
#

the poke IS satisfying to me though

#

unrelated but wtf they added a double barrel

#

ive been gone way too long

tame lodge
#

Because shotgun cool

#

It was added

#

Secrets of the omnisiah iirc

iron parcel
#

oh wait

#

apparently DS on psyker gets boosted parry

#

maybe thats hy i liked it

turbid ibex
#

that was a recent thing

narrow torrent
#

Reject plasgun, embrace spray and pray reconlas

iron parcel
#

nvm

turbid ibex
#

DS didnt even have a parry for a long time

#

it was in bound by duty that they gave it to dueling sword iirc

iron parcel
#

didnt it used to have a special hmmgryn

#

or was the special weird

turbid ibex
#

yes but it was like some stagger poke

#

like the mk1 shovel

tame lodge
#

Top tier quick stagger

#

Rip little poke that could stagger Crushers

#

You will be missed

turbid ibex
#

will it tho

#

we got a parry

tame lodge
#

And mutants

tame lodge
#

And that's all that matters

#

turbid ibex
#

sounds like a you problem

#

tame lodge
#

I don't have problems

turbid ibex
#

mf youre on the darktide server

tame lodge
turbid ibex
#

we all have some kind of problem

iron parcel
#

you can parry anything right

iron parcel
#

aside from bullets

tame lodge
#

Yeah

iron parcel
#

and explosions?

turbid ibex
#

or grabs

iron parcel
#

so crusher overhead begone...

tame lodge
#

You just gotta time overheads

#

Or it'll break ya

iron parcel
#

im guessing you kinda gotta run plasma or smth to pair with DS? or does other shit have comparable horde

turbid ibex
#

im going to be honest i dont think dueling sword is that good on vet

#

prob the worst class to use it on

iron parcel
#

my buddy just likes it :(

turbid ibex
#

well they got shit taste

#

:3

iron parcel
#

gg

#

He was like "oh the power sword doesn't feel that good" and i went "you really need power cycler for it to feel good on the special" and he went "special?"

turbid ibex
#

lmao

iron parcel
#

he was beating people with a blunt piece of metal for a whole mission and didn't clock the fact that his power sword hadn't exhibited anything related to its name :(

#

either way assuming we're just doing auric/maelstroms and not any havoc shit for now, what would be premier hordeclear ranged that i could suggest if someone were to hypothetically be playing veteran and using an unnamed weapon that has bad horde?

turbid ibex
#

double barrel

#

needs manstopper blessing tho

tame lodge
#

Double Barrel with Manstopper is top tier mixed hordes muncher

dreamy spade
#

Lmao, 30 minutes into havoc game after clutching... mission aborted

tame lodge
#

The alternative are Brauto 8 but you're running a brauto

#

Bolter 3

turbid ibex
#

what about bolter 4

tame lodge
#

Grenade spam with Bolt Pistol lethal proximity

tame lodge
pseudo fiber

bolter numba 5

dry galleon
boreal zenith
#

what is a reason to use the mk3 boltgun?

#

less dmg, less ammo. what is it better at?

hollow ibex
#

uhh

#

stagger

#

that's about it

tall torrent
#

And better firing controls

#

Breakpoints are largely similar between the 2 boltgun variants

boreal zenith
#

ok

turbid ibex
#

what about fixlines

#

are they the same

boreal zenith
#

am i correct in thinking that ranged weapons have different base run speeds?

tall torrent
#

They do

turbid ibex
#

every weapon has different run speeds

boreal zenith
#

what are the fastest?

tall torrent
#

Laspistol fastest

#

Just check pinned guide lol

turbid ibex
#

pistols are generally the fastest

tall torrent
#

I have sprint bonus listed

boreal zenith
#

bro the pinned guide is like 5000 pages and i can never find the info im looking for

boreal zenith
#

yea i wouldnt even know what section this info would be under

#

i just spent a minute typing in different search terms with no luck at all

turbid ibex
#

just search "sprint speed" or something lol

tall torrent
fervent hemlock
#

is the backstab shooting and raking fire on the infantry autogun worth taking?

void dragon
#

is withering fire worth using on any of the recon lasguns?

tame lodge
#

XIV with 3 cleave base

void dragon
#

or has something else good running for it

tame lodge
narrow torrent
void dragon
#

the cleave has proven somewhat useful to kill that annoying trapper in the middle of a swarm of walkers

#

but not sure how good is that

narrow torrent
#

I mean, shout and kraks are the best support KEKW_ogryn

#

Reconlas means you’re giving your team most of the ammo, the cleave can technically save even more ammo since you need less shots to wipe a horde theoretically

void dragon
#

but the gun itself cost more ammo per shot so am i really saving ammo?

narrow torrent
#

Oh I meant for the normal reconlas, the mk12

#

I don’t use the slower one KEKW_ogryn

void dragon
#

yeah im questioning that one after a use, absolutely eats more ammo in spite of cutting swarms with more ease

narrow torrent
#

Yea, I like not eating the ammo because I like shooting everything that twitches

lunar maple
#

I use the inf las gun with the max ammo and the node that gives you 20 percent more ammo

#

So I have like over a thousand ammo

void dragon
#

perpetually gunning veteran that needs no ammo crate is true supportmaxxing

#

maybe

lunar maple
#

So I don’t have to worry about ammo

#

I can let others with ammo hungry weapons use ammo pickups

narrow torrent
#

Does finesse effect reconlas at all?

void dragon
narrow torrent
#

It’s really funny that just hipfiring into zombies will get you 15 stacks of Marksman’s Focus, I just don’t know if that does anything KEKW_ogryn

void dragon
#

not that worth imo, better to have other keystones imo

#

inf lasguns probably care more for it tho

narrow torrent
#

Checked the guide and they have a .75 finesse modifier

void dragon
#

that sounds small(?)

narrow torrent
#

Yeah, oh thought it effected critical chance too but it doesn’t. Rip. So no point for reconlas KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
#

but honestly still higher than i thought it was

#

thought it was .3 or some shit lmao

#

and then there's fucking brauto

#

💀

#

like bro

#

why does this thing have the same finesse as the fucking flamer

what would be the best gun to do this killshot ready penance? infantry lasgun?

tame lodge

Power Sword 6

So yeah as long as you have the y stacks of mmf it'll count

But if you still want to shoot hordes for some reason

Well, it won't handle havoc hordes of rotten armor

#

But the occasional handful, its more then sufficient

#

Now, if some of the weaker crit blessings got a little something

#

Crucial Roulette and Devastating Blow for example

dry cloak
#

Blessings in general need a rework

#

All of them

#

The system too

plain osprey
#

Not the biggest fan of the chainswords. Always found the movement with it kinda awkward

boreal zenith
#

how do u slide sideways or backwards?

plain osprey
#

Dodge button -> direction plus crouch

hollow ibex
#

if there's anything slightly girthier in the horde

#

its effectiveness drops off very very quickly

plain jungle
#

I havent played Vet in a while. Did they buff shout revive?👀

jovial yarrow
#

Kinda. Shout cdr got nerfed overall. Shout revive got the reduced radius and the increased cdr removed

tame lodge
#

Anyways it's not a detriment to pick it nowadays

#

So go forth

#

Yell at them to get up

#

GET THE FUCK UP 🗣️

midnight totem
#

And make sure you do it when they're in a fire

#

Or about to get overheaded again

plain jungle
#

Im doing havocs. And its really tempting. But not sure what to sacrifice. It's either conditional reload speed or extra grenade (and grenades are essential against rotten armor)

tame lodge
#

You see that's the problem

spare cedar
#

I don't think I would pick it into rotten armor

tame lodge

Vet never has remaining points

# tame lodge Vet never has remaining points

I made up my mind. The reload speed increase if there is ammo in magazine is not really worth it with bolt pistol. might be more useful with larger magazines, but 8 shots run out before you know it

#

If the goal of rising heat and get hot is to edge the plasma gun around 80-90 heat why do I want 69 thermal resistance just to get me one more shot from 0-100

turbid ibex
#

because its an extra shot before you need to wait for cooling down

jovial yarrow
#

from 0-100 heat, yes.
80 thermal resist gets two shots from 80-100 heat.
60 thermal resist gets two shots from 80-100 heat.

turbid ibex
#

69% lets you do eight hipfire shots in a row

played some Heavy Sword w/ Bolter in H40, it's actually really good now, very reliable general-use melee

iron parcel
#

Is the helbore build in pinned guide generally going to be fine, or would I want something with a bit more emergency melee capability if I don't have a good frontline and/or is that even viable with a helbore build. or do you lose important breakpoints

Holy punctuation

I'm trying to revamp too many of my classes right now so I'm thin on plasteel Sitgryn

#

If the taxes is a good investment I'll focus on that first

sharp epoch

helbore builds typically just run DS or combat knife

hollow ibex
#

what

#

taxe

iron parcel
#

I was told DS sucks yesterday am I getting ragebaited. If I have hb and ds where is my horde

hollow ibex
#

like egoists said

tame lodge
#

In fact

#

It's too strong

#

That being said

#

Barely any horde clear

sharp epoch
#

people say it sucks because they dont like people using it

tame lodge
#

And in this case with Helbore

#

It's unneeded single target

#

Because you have Helbore

bold sierra
iron parcel
#

Like helbore ds sounds like a nightmare if a group is on me

bold sierra
#

hell, helbore's bayonet is already great

hollow ibex
#

yeah there's no point in taking two weapons that specialize in the same fucking thing

#

knife i can understand

#

DS with helbore is dumb

iron parcel
#

I'm gonna just

#

Go taxe

#

My carpal tunnel hasn't progressed far enough to need an alternative

sharp epoch
bold sierra
#

having a block-everything button after shooting shit with Helbore is always great

iron parcel
#

The new gear progression system is so much nicer when I last played it was basically pure rng pogryn

tame lodge
#

Use Push Attack and heavies often with taxe

#

Your wrists will thank you

bold sierra
#

but obviously, no wrong choices here.

iron parcel
#

Thanks glang

#

I appreciate the input

sharp epoch
#

ps would be pretty much a wrong choice its just too immobile

#

and your taking zero melee talents with helbore

iron parcel
#

I'll prob try DS with a different gun at some point, I do like the wep although last time I used it it had the mutant stagger poke

hollow ibex
#

PS on helbore is fine

bold sierra
hollow ibex
#

PS is strong even with 0 melee investment

hollow ibex

you have to work around the shit dodges

sharp epoch

but PS is powerful on any build you run

My friends are very new and don't play shooters much to begin with lmao so I think it'll take a while even best case chadgryn

heavy rover
#

I mean I run power sword on havoc 40

iron parcel
#

Havoc is character dependent right so if you have h40 on one char you need to get all the way there on another?

sharp epoch
heavy rover
#

yep, it's a helbore build too

hollow ibex
#

and whether you can cope with psword dodges

#

depends on your own capabilities

heavy rover
hollow ibex
#

i get not running psword with helbore

hollow ibex
#

but it's hardly an objectively bad choice

#

psword is literally never an objectively bad option lol

iron parcel

Its a nice reminder that a lot of this game is playstyle and preference

heavy rover
#

yep

#

especially with vet, there are a lot of viable options

sharp epoch
iron parcel
#

I just like shooting things so I figured helbore was prob best pick and I used it a bunch before

#

Satisfying popping heads of basically any elite

bold sierra
#

no point leaving them untaken

sharp epoch
#

the zealot was actually pretty conservative then he only picked up 2 ammo satchels and 2 crate charges

#

the ogryn too

bold sierra
#

it was Grenadier Gaunlet, so yknow how it is with the dmg xD

sharp epoch
#

I just feel like that sort of build doesn't really fit a team's niche or more like isn't the best at one role

#

Like the psyker mopped up most the melee and ranged elites and specials were about the same, while plasma vet would at least probably have more ranged elites/ranged specials

olive halo
#

Yall is there any fix for the psword being super slow?

#

like its dodges are slow, you get your dodges back slow, swings slow, charges slow

#

why does everyone say its so good then?

sharp epoch
#

It's tradeoff for high damage/cleave

olive halo
#

thats really bad tradeoff though

tame lodge
olive halo
#

With it I cant dodge out of most attacks, what point is damage when Im always dead?

tame lodge
#

You didn't push enough

sharp epoch
olive halo
#

like as if its got an extra 0.3s tacked on

olive halo
tame lodge
#

Yeah

But in fact still 0.85

sharp epoch
tame lodge
#

You can activate push light light light

#

You can activate push attack light light

olive halo
#

honestly Im finding it too many inputs as it is to have to keep activating it every few attacks

tame lodge
#

Practice more

olive halo
#

would be nicer if the charging animation was also a block, or if we could do both at the same time

#

he already holds it up like as if he's blocking anyways

sharp epoch
bold sierra
# sharp epoch Like the psyker mopped up most the melee and ranged elites and specials were abo...

up to taste, it was Ventilation Purge Sniper Gaunlet as well so I wasn't the best at clearing ranged elites (while Psyker Wildfire kinda just do it nonchalantly most of the times), and Rotten Armor isn't typical to make comparisons. If it was non-Rotten, it'd be a lot different for sure. Plus, a lot of the times I was overshooting too.

I like Bolter vs ranged elites cuz it can stagger multiple gunners and 1-2shotkill them, oneshot basically all the disablers. Rotten Armor is an ammo-eater tho, but Bolter is better against them than Plasma.

olive halo
#

cuz if its too much time I'll just drop it and go back to use an axe or chainsword

midnight totem
#

Its pretty much muscle memory for me

#

But I like the weapon and the game

#

If you don't like a weapon, no amount of playing will get you used to/happy with it

#

There are plenty of other weapons

olive halo
#

I like the game, but its hard for me to like the weapon when I can't kill 2 ragers with it without dying

midnight totem
#

Like me, I hate axes

tame lodge
#

You should be able to kill 10 Ragers without dying with a power sword

midnight totem
#

Rashad is bread and butter to lots of vets here. Hate it

olive halo
tame lodge
#

It's extremely doable

olive halo
sharp epoch
#

all of that was mostly on vet too

#

I will say hivescum is better melee vet this patch at least

I guess gold toughness would do the same thing until you get hit like once

olive halo
#

like Ill get hit once and my dude is disabled like as if they cut his spine out

bold sierra
#

oh boi i havent checked my hours for a while lol

midnight totem
#

I wish there was hit stun resistance somewhere in melee vet right sidetree

olive halo
#

he wont charge, wont dodge and just becomes useless, then dies 2 hits later

Is your push attack a swing or a stab?

Is there some kind of bug with the plasma gun?

I say 7 or 8 times times I whip it out -- my player is jammed to strafing left constantly. & it's always left.

I don't have this problem with my other Veteran main guns nor my non-main guns.

Mk4 doesn't have a stab because it's the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game

# iron parcel sry bumping this, or is it just pure preference

it's mainly preference and whether you want to be able to 1 shot all Ogryns and 2 shot Crushers reliably with the IV, or if you want something speedy enough to clear lots of targets with less time charging with the V, and the IIIa as the middleground if you want something faster than the IV but with more damage than the V

#

personally prefer the V just because you can skip Weight of Fire on it and put Hot Shot on it instead because the cleave gets funny with Hot Shot and Withering Fire

#

they're all really strong with Exe Stance/Marksman's Focus anyway

iron parcel
#

h mm okay i swapped to mkv and the problem was i was still on surgical wof

i can't aim for specials as fast as that shit was charging lol

hollow ibex

iron parcel

it definitely wasn't bad the charge was just sof ast

hollow ibex
#

i'm not sure which fires faster-- ilas mk ix or helbore mk v with wof

#

ilas mk ix is quite slow

iron parcel
#

mk v hb has the best damage:charge performance right

hollow ibex
#

it has the highest dps

#

generally speaking

#

and mk iv has the highest alpha damage

somber axle
#

the speed takes getting used to but WoF Mk V feels really good to use when you get the pacing down

hollow ibex
#

yeah it's a funny feeling

#

spraying into an elite horde with a helbore lol

everything just evaporates so fast

jovial yarrow
#

I'm assuming 69 thermal is the minimum for eight m1s without venting heat.

hollow ibex
#

yup

jovial yarrow
#

just looking at the variance in charge time, 71 charge would give a m1 0.645 between shots and m2 1.29s
idc enough to continue gambling for a hundredth and thousands of seconds.
