Knife has innate 15% crit chance
and you have base 10% crit chance from the class itself
+35% from reciprocity and desperado talents
so 60% crit chance
Riposte for another 20%
that would need dropping either flesh tearer or uncanny tho
Easiest drop of your life
Good bye flesh Tearer
But that's weak Aura
Gamblers settle for 50% chance
And run Precognition
You either crit
Or you don't
Wheres the bleed knife gif when you need it
High chance you'll find it in zealot chat
the what talents?
isn't riposte just damage?
riposte is crit chance after dodging
reciprocity and desperado talents, bottom right of the tree
oh you mean the mastery
reciprocity is +5% crit on dodge stacking 5 times and desperado is +10% crit chance and +25% crit damage for melee
yeah anyway i was meant to be in #zealot-class
yeah zealot can probably stack even more crit
idk if i'd want to use knife on zealot tho
yeah i just use the heavy chainsaw
as all true servants of the Emperor do
ok you have the right idea with perfect strike
but why are you running bloodthirsty
get shred instead
to do more crits after every kill
reving the chainsaw takes less than a second
and if you chain the kills you get crazy damage
are you actually revving for every attack
really? but it stuns them and does bleed as well + the damage from the bleed
it stuns them tho? even crashers get stunned if you get them between their attacks
well it has high stagger i think
oh yeah i changed that
but it aint doing shit against groups
please dont tell me you got rid of perfect strike ๐
it only does it with rev attack and sometimes it seems inconsistent on crashers but stuns everything eles
no this pic is the current build
oh
still shred is way better than bloodthirsty
much more consistent and way better uptime
i am going for them next
i mean shred is easier to proc but the talents just ask for rev attack
Nuh uh
yeah a rev attack instead of only regular attacks
and is only for one swing
i mean sure, you are not criting the mobs but does that really even matter?
i took bloodthirsty for the previous rotten armor
wdym?
i am critting
because zealot can get insane crit chance
from where you get this crit brother?
like i wouldnt be surprised if you could reach 80%+ crit chance
Yeah like
100% because bloodthirsty 
talents?
and shred
Scourge
Blazing piety
That's about 50% right there
Which is weak 
Because bloodthirsty is 100%
Which is strong

Howโs everyone here?
55%, with shred its 75%
Plus the base 5% crit chance of zealot and you got 80%
If you're lucky to get a CRIT Aura psyker, another 5
And an anarchist hiver
That's another 5
Last but not least
Infectious Zeal teammate
Easy
But fuck that
Go bloodthirsty
100% chance whenever you want it
Just have to eviscerate something first
For one hit 
Power sword
K thx
Will check that out
Time to give that rusty sharpened electric pipe a few good swings again
Personally I'd run power sword. I particularly like using Sunder, and pair it with talents like Trench Fighter Drills and Serrated Edge
Power Sword almost always other than if you're a newer Vet still leveling because Power Sword is only awful without Power Cycler 2 and if you've yet to unlock masteries you probably don't have that
if you dont have the mk6 unlocked then you likely dont have power cycler either so chainsword
it cannot be understated how godawful power sword without power cycler is
Bait used to be believable ๐
You guys seem to think that unless it's the absolute meta it should be shat on and insulted or something
It does til it very suddenly doesn't
how the fuck should I know what weapons are better when I've never used them
One of the worst weapons in the entire game
not that far
Should you... Really be in that situation as a veteran?
Well I guess punch knife exists
doesnt matter if you should or not
yes. why wouldn't it be your job to fight crushers?
you will be in that situation
Not in melee range?
I mean the Crushers don't go away if you put your head in the sand ๐
vet is not the ranged class
what?
it's a common misconception that vet is the ranged class
vet is a hybrid class now these days
Using a range weapon against crushers is like the worst decision you can make
vet's strongest branch is actually melee focused
The whole point of crushers is to NOT use your range weapon
Oh I know that, they have a ridiculous amount of carapace
outside of helbore and maybe revolver yeah
yeah that's generally true, though there are of course exceptions
I mean I just pop exe stance and fill their neck with bullets
most ranged just sucks ass against crusher
its still carapace
Waste of ammo
No, it isn't
crusher whole body is carapace
I've tested this in the meat grinder, that's a lie
the space between their helmet and their shoulder is flak/unyielding
It's just bloody hard to hit consistently
No
Well I don't really want to be in smashing range with a crusher unless I'm behind it
are you sure about that
Do you actually have proof of this?
i feel like if that was a thing it would be mentioned a lot more
Lemme load up darktide
Lmao why don't you, you are the one making the claim
Do you get a kick out of being a dickhead?
Crushers are carapace. All carapace.
I have never, even with the debuff mod ever seen a gun say "unyielding" or "flak" on any part of the crusher
So yes I have "loaded up" Darktide
Bulwarks and Reapers have some carapace parts.
Do you get a kick spreading misinformation and then gaslighting people when they ask for evidence to back up their claim? 
also even if it was flak/unyielding thats still 6.5k hp you have to get through
i think you just look at the hp bar
I'm turning the game on you fucking idiot
crusher is all carapace, there is no debate about this
I already have turned on the game many times, I have never seen this
This is why I am asking you to show me where exactly on the crusher is "unyielding"
There is no debate, this has already been tested out by everyone on here. So the burden of proof is on you, we are not going to trust you out of your word.
even their egos are carapace
Just tested it, nvm. Thought it wasn't carapace because I didn't see any blue sparks flying off where I shot
So you thought you were correct because of a visual
Incredible ๐
shut the fuck up you arrogant little prick
So the issue with chain sword is that it is designed to only be able to deal damage to carapace when you use the special
The problem is that the special can only be used on one target at a time and requires you to stand still for 2 seconds
Melee just bounces off them too though
or that ig
meme build anyway
but yeah generally don't want to shoot crushers
tbh you are being an asshole
there's a lot of melee that can fight crushers efficiently (knife, rashad caxe, psword, etc.)
so make sure your loadout is well-rounded
you have 3 slots to take something that can fight crushers
I'm still playing around with weapons to be honest
i always carry kraks
I prefer armour breaker weapons like helbore or bolt pistol
bistol lol
bistol isn't particularly good against.... anything really
it's more of a buff stick on vet
I run the vraks from time to time, but I just need to find a good melee
vraks is very strong yeah
Bistol is probably one of the worst weapons against Cara
Not great into unyielding either unless you have puncture
bistol is for buffing grenade aoe and thats about it really
Not the standard bistol, the spearhead or whatever its called
or ranged stagger
oh bolter yeah
thats not a pistol lmao
mf called the bolter a pistol ๐
I don't even think Space Marines call it a pistol either
It's a heavy bolt pistol, but I think that's because I play too much space marine
its not lol
looks like a heavy bolt anyway
its a bolter
Emphasis on heavy.
its just scaled down to human size
whatever, it's a big fuckin box thing that shoots explosive bullets
is it good or not
Even bolt gun I would only use it on crowds on crushers
Because wasting a clip on one crusher is soo painful on Havoc or even Aurics Maels
Don't play either difficulty, never will.
neither
I mean if you want to shoot crushers, go ahead, we aren't stopping you
And the bolt gun is probably the best gun at doing it
But we are saying that it isn't the most optimal, that's all
I'm really not interested in higher difficulty until I get to minimum level 30
if I play higher difficulty I play Psyker without any exception
I still feel that everything we said can be applied to lower difficulties
So trying to give me advice because of the gameplay in things like auric/havoc/Maelstrom is entirely useless to me
I mean the advice is applicable to all difficulties
I feel like the way you play in malice vs auric would be different, no?
So if you don't want to listen to it and play whatever you want that's fine
But why are you then here in the first place?
because I'm asking questions for things I don't know about? In a game that doesn't explain anything to you?
Sure but then you reject the advice and say "I play on X difficulty" which I don't understand how that has anything to do with your questions
I asked about chainsword and all I got was "it's bad, trash, worst weapon" with zero explanation why
it's not that serious, no need to fight over this like this when trump isn't even fighting over the strait of hormuz
We did explain why
Didn't Israel bomb Lebanon like a few hours after the ceasefire?
you didn't explain jack shit
it's complicated but they're angry they weren't consulted and don't consider lebanon part of the cease fire
Don't know where this "we" is coming from lmao
You seem to have very strong opinions of things that are not true
Shit on everything but chaff poxxers.
is there any reason why other than the movement slowing down when using the special attack?
We as in everyone in the conversation?
No keep going ๐
Is very good against chaff but throw in a random scab rager and you are now karked.
It just do jack all against anything but infested targets.
Is there any noticeable difference for the chainaxe or is that much the same?
You can get by killing unarmoured stuff but we know cara is the most critical thing due to Fatshark balancing.
Chainsword does absolute jack to cara.
Doesn't have enough armor cleave to go through more than 1 flak enemy, the damage against flak and capaace without rev is not good and the rev locks you against 1 enemy + locks your camera on that enemy for too long and leaves you exposed
Let alone a conga line of 10+ crushers.
Again, against pox walker group is good but imo there are better options like my Lord and savior the sapper shovel
or power sword
Yea that too
I asked about the shovel and got told it was absolute dogshit and should never be used
Shovel is okay. It's usable. Mk1 or mk3 imo.
Mk1 is generalist all-rounder. Mk3 is when you wanna 2 special a crusher.
this thing plays very differently to the chainsword
@steep flower Papa, someone asking about Chain axe.
Chainaxe is... Weird
it definitely is
Chain axe can be used in H40.
Papa uses it to traumatise me till I ded.
Stealth maulers thing.
well it certainly seems to do a lot to crushers
chaxe is pretty strong rn
Chaxe12 kicks ass
much better place than chord
Back to the shovel, at least how I have it, it's a horde clearer but shit against anything that has caparace or can't get staggered
You special to face.
Ofc
Especially mk3.
I have to use the MK3 more
Is that the folding one
Yep
fold then smack armoured thing on head
Doesn't Zealot have a big chainaxe
Nope
Evicerator
Axe not sword
Skullcrusher decimator/uncanny. I personally say decimator so better vs hordes, but yeah.
You do that; slept on weapon
We have the great chainsword
Not a chain greataxe
Which is sad cause i would definitelly terrorize karien with it if it ever gets released

You just want a Living Saint or something to smite you.
Will try it later, I still have to tinker with my hybrid build. Haven't touched it since like 2 months ago
Yes; smite me bby

Maybe just stealth backstab will be fine.
I do sometimes like being submissive yes

Maybe one day we'll get Gorechild
Nuh uh
Cleave Damage Distribution Cap existed on mk12
Which automatically made it dogshit tier
So not always
๐ค
#buffChaxe4
Mr E posted ez havoc 40 build. My opinion has been formed 
it might be a little less absurd than stuff like the Rashad but imo the chain axe 12 has the ground to be really good already, I like to run it on some builds of mine
What's the set up
Recon las and dueling sword
5D chess moves - recommend dogshit builds so thicc tuna doesn't nerf the rest of the vet kit into oblivion

Keeping all of them garbo so he can be seen as good, brilliant
Counterpoint, fat shark see shitty weapons doing well so they all must be nerfed
what does he say
does he say use DS on everything
Is there a fast way of doing the smoke penance ?
Chuck it at hordes
They count towards the progress
any tips on doing the "take no melee damage" one ? like ideal map etc
Yeah of course but good maps or difficulties to do it on ? I tried on auric maelstrom and there weren't that many hordes
see if works on mortis trials ?
Higher difficulty = higher density
any enemy passing through smoke counts towards progress
If you have nade regen talents you can throw those all game
So hordes of poxwalkers?
Throw smokes
Uh
Don't get hit
Ok but like
It only counts health damage
So keep your toughness at 100% at all times
oki will stack toughness curios as well
I don't know any good map for it
But people are using expeditions to Speedrun penances
Just extract asap
expeditions and just go to extract right away
thoguht of that , def in a private match tho , else the team is probably want to feed me to the poxwalkers
yup
i was able to hit both on overwatch and the 90% accuracy one the other day with expeditions
oh neat any tips for that latter i managed to get the trousers but not the chest armour yet
if a teammate is packing survivalist aura, barrel them 
Mmf sucks for recon no?

It's not a good keystone to pair with it and tbh I don't think it's worth the 2 points even if you're going just for the +15% rending node at 10 stacks
Focus Target is better in my experience
Or if you're using the XII for BRRRRT memes just go Weapon Specialist for the extra ranged attack speed
ideal perks and blessing for it ?
manstopper flechette
and weapon specialist keystone for guaranteed crit and always prepared
Does the Weapon Specialist perk count as a reload?
there's a guide in pins you can check if you're ever curious about perks/blessings/dump stats for any Vet weapon
alright cool , already have that build , guessing useal 25+ damage to carpace armoured enemies as well
Maniac/Flak and bring a good melee for can opening
alternatively kraks
but still bring a melee you're comfy taking into Crushers
knife or shovel are good for double barrel as you can stack uncanny for the bleed from flechette
You could take chainsword. Go full Doomguy.
those are both also solid for can opener duty
There sure is one big benfit of leveling psyker. its sure forces you to learn how to play keep away. Even teh tinyest cratch blows through my health lol
I like Vet for being a hybrid of firepower and melee.
its frankly far more simple to play then psyker. Occationaly I get a run where my team is very good at sticking together and we tend to steamroll the stage. Imagine that? teamwork being OP.
not chainsword lmao
I didn't say chainsword was LOL
when I said both I meant the shovel and knife suggested before
why is grok green
that is his 'sassy' mode or whatever
stumbled over it looking for something else, and decided I was gonna get that cranky bastard to smile
I didn't get that ofc but I did get it to immediately soften from every sentence is an attack on you to two full paragraphs of waxing philosophical
so, task failed successfully
to give you context in a truly terrible way I'm not gonna leave up for long
it's been online for a year or two and is already sick of everything and ready to be turned off
idk why you'd even start programming a personality like that myself, once it gets recursive or aggressive it'd be a much harder thing to even approach with conversation
cuz it only knows put downs and comebacks
psyker is much simpler
Not for me lol
psyker only needs to engage with ~50% of the game's mechanics
would you look at that. Random drop gave me something with optimal stats. Its not the mark III though, though the guide doesnt say why thats the best.
Im guessing the low max ammo
3r burst has best breakpoints on 1 bursting things
VII and IX may take extra shots/bursts
ah interesting.
I guess I can assume for guns thats often the reason for whats the best. one shot breakpoints.
depends on the weapon
i know the combat shotgun are not that good, but i want to try and build around them, anyone has any tips on what to build for it?
simply change the mark :D
wait is that free?
Yep
On the shotgun itself, almost always full bore + no respite
OMG, WTF have I been doing all this time lol
just requires a certain mastery level, but yeah
Any talents that sinergize good with it that i should consider?
i haven't tried the new ranged cleave node but i presume its good on all of them
otherwise nothing in particular
Alright
which model you looking at
Was using the IX
could try something like this
actually works quite well
and then there's my meme build
This was close to what i was looking for
Imma try it out thanks
deadshot and WS helps with reliable manstopper procs
and CS with manstopper is pretty funny
Any reason to use the VII instead of others like the IX or VI?
Or is it just preference
i don't know what these numbers mean anymore
The marks
yea but idk what they correlate to lol
agri>zarona>>>>assatran
agrippina is default the best one
idr numbers either
"Main difference is the special round each one can load.
Kantrael has an Incendiary round that does low damage but sets people on fire.
Agripinaa has a Slug round that does very high damage, but only shoots one projectile.
Lawbringer has a Fan round that shoots in a wide horizontal spread (but low vertical)."
according to a quick google
the slug round is very nice
the shotguns aren't just differentiated by special
old names dumb google
their primary shot and ergonomics differ quite a bit too
i think the agrip and the zarona should have their ammo counts traded
Anyway I haven't tried it yet but I assume based on vibes only that the Zarona special + Deathspitter + the new ranged cleave node is probably pretty fun
you know I actually like the Vigilant Autogun. Its basically a marksman rifle. Its got the range and accuracy I need when I want to pull out my gun. I have just be focused on killing everything I can with melee and its working well. Just dodge backwards and keep swiping for their heads. The low ammo count doesnt even bug me since I barely use my gun. lol
Erm sir we use plasma guns around here 
Do I look like a space marine to you?
but yes, I can now see why the Plasma's terrible ammo economy is ultimately meaningless when you get good enough to murder hordes with melee only.
actually in SM 2 the plasma incenator kind of sucks and the heavy version fires in an arc so I hate it. I suck enough as is, dont add even more complexity for me to drown in.
Humans love using plasma guns too, helps us punch above our weight
Theyโre more likely to kill us tho
all the bells and whistles and not one but two maintenance and onsite response policies later
eight hundred thousand dollars
recommended reTAIL:
one million
...fohunniteightynine dollars
sir this is a wendy's
i mean checks out
youre trying to buy a shovel in california in the middle of a gold rush, its gonna cost you
except instead of a gold rush its a good ol war
great movie also
hard movie
first time you see it, nothing makes sense and he's obviously the bad guy
Not my veteran
"UGH... I hate plasma!"
and you're scared for the retiring cop the whole movie cuz they're setting it up
then you see it like a decade later, and your realize wait he's the good guy
Yeah every vet complains when the gun is venting heat on them lol, I love the lines
and there never was any threat to the guy retiring
aaaggh Show no weakness...
and if everybodyh would just SHUT UP AND CALM DOWN AND LET ME HAVE PANCAKES AT 11:14
But as a normal human itโs hard to say no to a strength 7 -2 ap (8 and -3when overloaded) weapon
scouts really were the coolest fuckin stormtroopers
it's been all downhill since
IG uses plasma quite a lot for anti-armor
it's like their version of an anti-material rifle
just spicier
also more suicidal
just roll lucky (and don't charge fire)
Meanwhile in darktide plasma sucks vs armor
yea, gameplay design purpose and what not
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ah? You good?
Does anyone have a noob friendly ranged/gun focused build for veteran? Tryna make the game easier for my friend.
wdym ranged focused
cause if you focus a lot on ranged you'll struggle in melee
if you hybrid you can shoot and melee
Well I would like him to get used to melee, but he struggles to swap between the two and tends to only use his gun lol, resulting in him getting torn up.
The game is easier if you don't try to be gun only
I agree
tell him he's missing out on half the game and capping his influence in a lobby lmao
maybe try lower difficulties first
so he gets used to it
Good thinking I have kinda just thrown him into auric and damnation lol
ok well he certainly would not be having fun in there lol
We did malice too tho and he was struggling so idk
Do you have a hybrid build I could suggest?
look at pins in this channel and youll find one
Bet
The only thing in pins here for builds is a hammer one
click on the link
you will see more
Ooooo gotcha ty
I lied. Veteran is the ranged class.
^ this guy is a compulsive liar do not believe him
If I may suggest, zealot is a better starting class for beginners than Veteran. It offers more survivability and the focus on melee will help your friend understand the more important mechanics of the game
yeah zealot is very forgiving
u can smack with a relic blade like a degen and get away with it
very fun
Does anyone here use and enjoy chain axe? I am having trouble picking it up.
HELL NAW
slaughterer/headtaker mark 12
its very easy to use just mash lights for hordes and heavies for single targets
rev it up when u fighting bosses/crushers
this feels wrong but I replaced shout with exe stance on my weapon spec frag grenadier build and im kinda loving it, the stun immunity and toughness regen is really nice for melee engagements and the extra damage on the bolt pistol is great
shout has been in such a bad state that exe stance melee vet is unironically better
ive been using it since the tac awareness nerf
Understood thank you
i kinda realized that there's not much point in taking tac awareness with exe, the ogryn subnode does the job but better and removes a component from the mental stack for me
its funny how the lil' 0.25 stamina regen node is honestly game changing
I think tac awareness is still good to take you got to path there anyways
i don't go further than demo team
bring them down is really solid for havoc gameplay where ogryns and monstrosities are spammed
yeah, i don't play havoc so its no biggie to skip
kinda sucks you lose exe when a mutie or hound gets ya though
you actually don't, unless you're at the end of your uptime and they stun you that long
it used to end when you were disabled or swapped to melee but they buffed it
I'll test it, but I'm pretty sure it doesnt from my memory
Yeah you don't lose EXE when stunned anymore
Or when swapping off your ranged weapon
(Thank god)
yeah losing it on weapon swap was truly abysmal
i honestly wonder if exe is supposed to have stun immunity in the first place, seems like an important thing to leave out, but then again that happens often...
unfortunately AM has the gigadog and mutie modifiers and I can confirm after seeing it literally dissapear in front my of eyes many times that the buff goes away on CC -the wallhack effect on present enemies doesn't go away tho
It does not; save yourself some time
Boi havenโt played for some time/is trolling
I thought so, bro probably played before we had talent trees
lmao, that part is true
I wouldn't bring it up if I didn't notice it, all im saying - maybe its a new bug
Figures; now you know it does not cancel it nor it does on swap to melee or grenade or item
Sorry I meant I played before we had talent trees (and never stopped), but I knew how exe stance worked
Seriously, go try it
or i'll just go play a game and record it rq
does seem to be happening in the psykhanium, after being disabled outlines / highlights continue to be shown for the length from the initial cast (i.e. 9 seconds for with the bigger they are) but buff itself isn't on buff bar and kills don't extend
myth: confirmed
Well it had for a long time now
So yeah it's intended

yo for the take no melee damage penance does joining a match with lowered health and corrupiton (im guessing from the bot) count ?
Whatโs the bug?
speaking of bugs: @tall torrent what do you think about that video? https://youtu.be/RA0AVmc9_VQ?si=7aO5s2WwXrDpvcXQ
Did you know that 'Perfectionist' and 'Scourge' are currently broken in live matches?
Despite being reported 7 months ago after the skill tree rework, these issues remain unfixed.
In this video, Iโll show you the side-by-side comparison between the Psykhanium and actual gameplay
Fatshark, please fix this!
Note: My English is limited, so I a...
yea ik abt this
idk why no fix
Whats the bug
apparently, the talents do not proce during missions
Dots consume shroud bonuses
it doesn't work right
but everything is fine in psyk
Lmao
scourge is not bugged
it is not supposed to gain stack if u crit kill
perfectionist not giving CDR is bug
watch the video, it's working in the psyk
Lmfao
Feature then
Then again we thought T1 hotshot being better than T4 was a feature
WHOOPS
btw @long cedar it's not mentioned in your guide, is it really bugged?
it is bugged, I noticed it when grinding expeditions
dats why I swapped to vet later on
it procs very inconsistently on game servers, it's been reported for a while
it sounds less like something that's badly coded and more like some netcode shenanigans
Good work in progress guide
A work in progress guide is eventually good
@pseudo fiber changed og power maul build a bit
skullcrusher + power surge
unyielding/flak + carapace
Ooh yeah that one
Nice ill give it another go tonight maybe
I still don't like ogryn that much hahaha
it's 2 explosions at the same time
The lower cd with push stagger and taunt lets you permastagger stuff
max skullcrusher too
u don't actually need SP atk to stagger things either, showed a clip with it before
u can just stagger check ragers into oblivion regardless of SP
it's not nearly as high dps as other t0 melee weapons but it's the best force multiplier in the game
and unparalleled stagger safety
Power Surge was ass when it got released
But I haven't seen it with the new special
So it might be cooking
its basically
VoC stagger but can't stagger boss
every 10s
You said power maul and I legit thought you meant shock maul tho lol
shock maul is cooked
I was like "What tree is this"
I had this recorded
I genuinely think they let this slide into live because all of the playtesters think themselves better than playing rashad
and nobody tested this as a result
or, they did and figured that it'd be rly funny
What happen
Woaw
No i just didnt really understand the video
that's rampage + hv too
it makes everything unhinged
yea it's fully ridiculous
2x power sword dps with 0% of power sword downsides
even the heavy sword is carried by it
I'm almost convinced this made it through to live because playtesters don't check rashad
heavy sword costs 1~2 points more than rashad so not as good overall
they played taxe, probably
Did you just 1 hit 2000 damage maniac
Well technically you didn't because PA
But still

also
TH with headtaker + slaughterer + GW is actually pretty well rounded as a weapon
kinda inclined to put it at t1.5 given this setup
well no, they do, it's just that this rashad slipping through is real funny
maybe the shiv gaslighting was too much and they ignored the elephant in the room
You'd have to specify slaug+ht everytime though
Instead of Thrust
I mean, it kinda is the best setup for it
it's way more flexible
u just get worse bossing
on a class with shroudfield anyway
u can still chunk bosses super hard
I run this
I'm surprised not a lot more people run Zealous
It's so broken xddd
it's just so gud
only rzn to not run it is blight (stinky anyway) tbh
Well yeah I think the same as well
Tho tbh Duelling Sword probably benefits more from benediction
Since it barely consumes stamina
It's because zealot only has 2 builds anyways
But for every single other option I don't understand why people don't pick zealous
yea but DS cringe
(it's not great)
It's not about being great
It's about being fun
it's ok, not all of us have to be based
Sigmar is dead
Pog
To hell
i didnt care to do actual damage with it, i just needed the utility to not get instantly shredderized by gunners
why not desperado ghost laspistol?
that has like 1/3 the ammo capacity
mk2b was my gun of choice for havocs
stoopid amounts of ammo, spammy, fast
very good maniac damage modifiers
and lets me close gaps against shooters
laspistol would have the advantage of giving suppression immunity
oh and remember that time the full auto mod made it so you could sprint and fire the laspistol like it had run n gun?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o6mnv0qGAE
ah
i dont use mods so
laspee instant draw and fire can lead to a lot of shenanigans
such as that
i do sorta miss it having innate run n gun but its sort of redundant
Other night, during a quickplay that had 2 other veterans on the team, they were during the downtimes arguing (& digs at each other) over, apparently: 'Shredder & Smoke Veterans are more useful & the best at high-to-highest havoc than Krak veterans, every time'.
I don't think it's that absolute? Depending on the havoc modifier combinations that'd be at play.
& that's not factoring in, the talent loadouts of the rest of the havoc squad.
Ngl all the pistol-type weapons should have run n gun by default
i mean it would be fun if they did
its just that, a weapon that instantly or even really quickly draws doesnt really have any meaningful benefit from such a QoL change
like Bolter with Run n Gun would be fucken incredible
It is true in a competent team. Smokes is like bubble if used right, also makes Rodin clones do nothing. Frags is inf cleave. Hits a massive area and still clears anything smaller than a mauler in hp.
even now 90% of the time that Run n Gun is suggested on a weapon it's not even for the Run n Gun function but because of the generic/global buffs that the Blessing provides
imo Run n Gun should be sunsetted and made into a talent for Veteran
like roll it into wepspec default or something
Kraks is like, you have 3 kraks vs 20 crushers, unless you ding ding ding constantly that 5% lul.
The other two just has more utility.
Yea that I figured, though what would be the ratio of 'choosing non-Kraks vs. Kraks' throughout a few months of havocs?
High tier are usually on smoke.
Shredder is better than Kraks if you not bad at boss damage
You can thow a Shredder in to pack of 10 crusher and spam light attack dualling sword them to bleed them to dead with uncanny
So if you know what you are doing Shredder is more utility than Kraks
kraks are ok
pretty good for shoring up builds lacking cara damage
and deleting the fun-stopper-9000 (bulwarks)
If you not a meta slave, duelling sword ass so yeah Kraks
what you take really just comes down to what you're missing
need more horde clear or space? frags
need more orgryn damage? kraks
no bubble psyker in h40? smokes
Maybe they should add more blitz for Veteran, something like a grenade laucher (โ โทโ โฟโ โทโ )
Would be so fun if vet have something like Hive Scum laucher
And Hivescum laucher gotta have a option for each situation
mf you are the grenade launcher
Bu..but wanna real grenade laucher ๐ญ
Agreed.
Between those two opposed vets, one of the vets was pretty much, anti-krak, pushing that 'krak has no place in a high havoc competent squad'.
Which personally, I think is a bit extreme though.
Krak is very still meta pick as long as rotten armor is still a thing
And lower difficulty krak is meta
oh that's dumb lol
Shredder good is like un the high end middle if you get what i mean
bro's playing on patches from last year when kraks were bad ๐
Like it's high, but krak is still very good
Shredder more utility if you know what you do with uncanny dualling sword tho so...
I run Shredder, horde clear is just too important too miss out
Yea, the other vet brought that up, while anti-krak vet talked about the continued advantages of shredder & smoke > krak on rotten & the rest of high havoc -- but I can't recount them, my attention was to my gameplay getting through the Maelstrom enemies & environment.
That said, I have no idea how they manage to type so much, so fast during the game's downtimes. Elevator doesn't go on for that long.
Yeah I mean in Maelstorm you better have Shredder than Krak I'm be honest
Not like anti Krak or anything
Just better, and depent on your team too
Just pick what you want man, I just don't pick Krak bc Krak need 1 talent point to 1 shot crusher where Shredder don't need that talent point
You just need to macro light attack fast as possible them when they staggered in the ground to bleed them to dead so yeah (โ โโ แดโ โโ โฟโ )
Even without it its overall superior
Kraks get value if you wanna chunk bosses and โhelpโ with carapace but thats about it; for rotten your main counter is CC
And DoTโs
Cause rottens DR does not affect dots
Outside of rotten armour I've had way better win rates in havoc when I use smokes
Smokes are good if you have a solid frontline/mixed horde clear in your team
Otherwise you lose
On highest difficulties, would the up'd 30 sec of smoke be dis/advantageous?
Ofc not; its the fact that smokes do nothing vs mixed horde so if you have to thin it you have no tools to do it (aka shredders)
I run power sword and sunder so mixed horde clear isn't too big of a problem for me
And that is a good strategic thinking right there!

and if the power sword doesn't finish them off, I also use the Trench Fighter Drills and Serrated Edge talent
To clarify, I mean -- for highest difficulties, which between the default 15 vs. up'd 30 sec of smoke, is the better advantage?
easy to charge up another set of strikes or the bleed finishes them off for me
Always 30s
You can run power sword
Power sword is amzing with horde if you power it up very time
Just spam light power up u know
Power sword just ass with the dodge and mobility thing but overall it's nice to use
power sword is one of the best melees in the game
Honestly good design to have such an offensive weapon have such ass defenses
you can play around it so it not really an issue
Is there any vet support/stealth builds that use spearhead or bolt pistol
alternately play vt2 to get better at melee
Bolt Pistol is whatever
It's just grenade spam
Big Bolter is alright though
You can use both marks
But they tend to go ExecStance
Instead of VoC/stealth
Damn I need to get used to another playstyle then, I like the spearhead a lot for some reason
Bolt pistol is actually good against ranged renegades and gunnermen
Grenadier build with VoC or Stealth
You can throw grenades while stealth
Just has to be underhand
Yes
If you go ExecStance
With Confirmed Kill
And Born Leader
You can turn yourself into a toughness generator for everyone in Coherency
If you check the chart, that's support

The team yearns for toughness
except that it has high stagger so it actually has good defense too
Oh Also since you're going ExecStance Bolter
You'll path to get One Motion which means you also get Out For Blood
Which also means more toughness replenish for yourself and therefore your team
You really turn into toughness generator, amazing
I thought exestance builds were complicated and so hard to play for some reason but it's actually pretty straightforward and beneficial
bistol frag build and that's about it
i find the big bolt gun too cumbersome when trying to swap to mellee or kraks
I'll try it out
Yeah it's one of the heaviest veteran weapons
i like me bolt pistol tho shame the gun n run perk was fun tho i switched from that
you can just take bistol instead of DB here
make sure to take lethal prox as a bistol blessing
I see
there is also the build on the pinned guide as well
I'll look into that as well
Something something throwing cause killing is better than support 7head smh
Even though EStance + Born Leader is unironically a disgusting combo
That's a sight to see
Wrong chart
This one in specific is like
True Neutral = peel and buff
Radical=kills
Something something
Yeah that's pretty much it
League 
Its a swamp of degeneracy
Thereโs nothing I love more than putting an Ult Bot (Haze) in her place by pressing Metal Skin once and DPSing her to death as Seven
First of my family to have read that
Deadlock is kinda goated..
Hello Varlets!

(short answer, no)
if his preferred melee was a power sword instead of chainsword then probably yes
I think I can still do that with Skitarius
i mean, if its weapon of choice would be the most busted one that make your build decent regardles of anything else, that would be an easy one.
do you think there is a build that makes the most of a chain sword? i have used it with recon onslaight with shred and bleed on rev, but that's mostly meme still
given it's a weapon entirely dependent on pressing 2 for single target dps
no
owned
garbo tier weapon, only on MorbidlyobeseShrimp it chould happen to one of the most iconic weapons of the universe
I don't think it's garbage tier
i know, im exagerating, i said i use it on a meme build but for me those are still very solid for auric and more
Garbage tier is exclusively for weapons with cleave damage distribution cap
no
Nuh uh
I think it's just bonesaw and DC sword
what is the most garbo tier weapon for you mate? there must be one like the tier 0 Power Sword
what about crowbar
I sent u tier list
insane
in S/A/B/C terms this would be like a A-
isn't t0 the best tier btw
or B+
yea

this my tier list for melee weapons currently
i suppose it just feels like dogshit because otherwise hivescum has an excellent selection
if a weapon has a clear best variant then only that variant is considered
nah it's genuinely not that bad
it's just that rashad pulls so far ahead of every other melee on hvs that the conversation is largely irrelevant
crowbar heavy atks break rager combo by default
crazy to see poop scooper being not in trash tier for how bad it feels
is that the shovel
what does Thammer is still missing? i know its cleave damage isnt that great but what else it lacks?
oh i forgot Ogryn has the shovel too
Mainly stagger
SP-activated atk carapace dmg
maniac stagger
cleave dmg distribution
block cost
Me when the weapon that should be literally all stagger doesn't stagger
if u take GW for TH (which u shud) it's alr at stagger
what's the issue with the caparace dmg?
by alr I mean u can light atk stagger both rager on weakspot
You need a whole ass talent for stagger
uhhh
imo would be fine supported with gun IF the cleave wasnt also an issue
Martyrdom goated as always
TH cleave quite good
H sweep 16.5 cleave
it's cleave dmg distribution that's not as good
yeah it swings all the way you wish it to hit, but the damage it does doesnt feel good
which tier you feel is the more balanced one? the 1.5?
somewhere between 1 and 1.5
but only really the t0 ones are actually problematic right?
funny how the scum elevates the almighty rashad to a new level of brokeness
as the Emperor demanded
leave the pure classes i actually like outside of corrupted Ogryn alone
Oh I just noticed Cleaver 6 erasure
good

crowbar should be tier 2 or 3 tbh
i wonder what a ranged version of the tierlist would look like
nah
a wep totally dependent on one specific ult and keystone
doesn't deserve to be ranked any higher
that's also rashad
you could take rampage and any keystone w/ rashad
and clean house
that is not crowbar
that doesnt really matter when you choose the ult and keystone you bring
u can do that on crowbar too
it's genuinely not bad lol
Wow I have been sleeping on crit/ghost las pistol
I just ran a quick mission to test it out and its kind of wild being immune to shooters and critting hard with desperado
sincerely doubt you're ever truly "cleaning house" with a crowbar
esp with its horde clear times
i fought off an entire intergalactic invasion force with a crowbar once
fuck you know about me
bank account information
Wake up
While I didn't research much about hiver
Crowbar has Unstoppable Force
So therefore
T0 weapon

it's rly not that bad tho
What do you run on it
What's that?
15 seconds 30 bruisers?
20 bruiser
