#

i don't like dark souls 4 tho and how does knife even crit? on dodge? and it's not even that high

tame lodge
turbid ibex
#

and you have base 10% crit chance from the class itself

#

+35% from reciprocity and desperado talents

#

so 60% crit chance

tame lodge
#

Riposte for another 20%

turbid ibex
#

that would need dropping either flesh tearer or uncanny tho

tame lodge
#

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

pseudo fiber
tame lodge
#

High chance you'll find it in zealot chat

low orchid
low orchid
turbid ibex
#

riposte is crit chance after dodging

turbid ibex
low orchid
turbid ibex
#

reciprocity is +5% crit on dodge stacking 5 times and desperado is +10% crit chance and +25% crit damage for melee

low orchid
#

huh

#

why am i in the veteran class chat?

low orchid
turbid ibex
#

yeah zealot can probably stack even more crit

#

idk if i'd want to use knife on zealot tho

low orchid
#

yeah i just use the heavy chainsaw

finite hawk
#

as all true servants of the Emperor do

low orchid
#

like bruh

turbid ibex
#

but why are you running bloodthirsty

#

get shred instead

low orchid
#

to do more crits after every kill

turbid ibex
#

its not every kill

#

its only kills with the rev special

low orchid
#

reving the chainsaw takes less than a second

#

and if you chain the kills you get crazy damage

turbid ibex
#

are you actually revving for every attack

low orchid
#

against elites, yeah

#

and sometimes go for a heavy rev attack as well

turbid ibex
#

you really shouldnt

#

just do heavy attacks

#

no need to use the special constantly

low orchid
#

really? but it stuns them and does bleed as well + the damage from the bleed

turbid ibex
#

it doesnt stun that much

#

and no bleed

#

it only does bleed with another blessing

low orchid
turbid ibex
#

well it has high stagger i think

low orchid
turbid ibex
#

but it aint doing shit against groups

turbid ibex
low orchid
low orchid
turbid ibex
#

oh

#

still shred is way better than bloodthirsty

#

much more consistent and way better uptime

low orchid
#

i am going for them next

tame lodge
#

Yeah that's what I would have did

#

That's that technique

low orchid
#

i mean shred is easier to proc but the talents just ask for rev attack

rancid dragon
#

My fellow vets

#

How are u all?

tame lodge
#

Nuh uh

turbid ibex
#

and is only for one swing

low orchid
#

i mean sure, you are not criting the mobs but does that really even matter?

spare cedar
#

i took bloodthirsty for the previous rotten armor

tame lodge
#

All you need since it's an eviscerator

turbid ibex
#

i am critting

#

because zealot can get insane crit chance

low orchid
turbid ibex
#

like i wouldnt be surprised if you could reach 80%+ crit chance

tame lodge
#

Yeah like
100% because bloodthirsty chadgryn

tame lodge
#

Scourge

#

Blazing piety

#

That's about 50% right there

#

Which is weak chadgryn

#

Because bloodthirsty is 100%

#

Which is strong

rancid dragon
#

Howโ€™s everyone here?

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

50% is all you need chadgryn

turbid ibex
#

Plus the base 5% crit chance of zealot and you got 80%

tame lodge
#

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

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

All you need

glad temple
#

Whatchu guys pair plasma with?

#

Havent used that thing properly in a while

turbid ibex
#

Power sword

glad temple
#

K thx

#

Will check that out

#

Time to give that rusty sharpened electric pipe a few good swings again

heavy rover
#

Personally I'd run power sword. I particularly like using Sunder, and pair it with talents like Trench Fighter Drills and Serrated Edge

forest lagoon
#

Chainsword or power sword?

#

i don't have the achlys variant

tame lodge
#

Power Sword

#

Even if not the best mark

#

It is still a power sword

somber axle
#

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

turbid ibex
#

it cannot be understated how godawful power sword without power cycler is

orchid hemlock
forest lagoon
#

chainsword feels awesome

hollow ibex
#

ok now try fighting multiple crushers with it

forest lagoon
#

You guys seem to think that unless it's the absolute meta it should be shat on and insulted or something

hearty panther
#

It does til it very suddenly doesn't

forest lagoon
#

how the fuck should I know what weapons are better when I've never used them

orchid hemlock
turbid ibex
forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
#

Well I guess punch knife exists

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
turbid ibex
#

you will be in that situation

forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
forest lagoon
hollow ibex
#

it's a common misconception that vet is the ranged class

#

vet is a hybrid class now these days

orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

The whole point of crushers is to NOT use your range weapon

forest lagoon
turbid ibex
hollow ibex
forest lagoon
turbid ibex
#

most ranged just sucks ass against crusher

turbid ibex
forest lagoon
turbid ibex
#

crusher whole body is carapace

forest lagoon
#

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

thorn lark
#

No

forest lagoon
turbid ibex
#

are you sure about that

orchid hemlock
turbid ibex
#

i feel like if that was a thing it would be mentioned a lot more

thorn lark
forest lagoon
thorn lark
orchid hemlock
forest lagoon
hearty panther
#

Crushers are carapace. All carapace.

orchid hemlock
#

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

hearty panther
#

Bulwarks and Reapers have some carapace parts.

orchid hemlock
turbid ibex
#

also even if it was flak/unyielding thats still 6.5k hp you have to get through

hollow ibex
forest lagoon
thorn lark
#

crusher is all carapace, there is no debate about this

orchid hemlock
#

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.

hearty panther
forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
#

So you thought you were correct because of a visual

Incredible ๐Ÿ’€

turbid ibex
#

yeah anyways

#

dont shoot crusher

#

unless helbore sniper setup

forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
#

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

forest lagoon
hollow ibex
#

meme build anyway

hollow ibex
#

but yeah generally don't want to shoot crushers

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

so make sure your loadout is well-rounded

#

you have 3 slots to take something that can fight crushers

forest lagoon
#

i always carry kraks

hollow ibex
#

kraks will help a lot

#

just have a backup plan if you run out

forest lagoon
#

I prefer armour breaker weapons like helbore or bolt pistol

turbid ibex
#

bistol lol

hollow ibex
#

bistol isn't particularly good against.... anything really

#

it's more of a buff stick on vet

forest lagoon
#

I run the vraks from time to time, but I just need to find a good melee

hollow ibex
#

than an actuallyh good gun

#

sorry to say

hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

Bistol is probably one of the worst weapons against Cara

Not great into unyielding either unless you have puncture

turbid ibex
#

bistol is for buffing grenade aoe and thats about it really

forest lagoon
turbid ibex
#

or ranged stagger

turbid ibex
#

mf called the bolter a pistol ๐Ÿ’€

orchid hemlock
forest lagoon
#

It's a heavy bolt pistol, but I think that's because I play too much space marine

turbid ibex
#

its not lol

forest lagoon
#

looks like a heavy bolt anyway

turbid ibex
#

its a bolter

hearty panther
#

Emphasis on heavy.

turbid ibex
#

its just scaled down to human size

forest lagoon
#

whatever, it's a big fuckin box thing that shoots explosive bullets

#

is it good or not

orchid hemlock
#

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

forest lagoon
hearty panther
#

You doing Heresy or Damn?

#

Or just basic Aurics

forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
#

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

forest lagoon
#

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

orchid hemlock
#

I still feel that everything we said can be applied to lower difficulties

forest lagoon
#

So trying to give me advice because of the gameplay in things like auric/havoc/Maelstrom is entirely useless to me

orchid hemlock
#

I mean the advice is applicable to all difficulties

forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
#

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?

forest lagoon
orchid hemlock
forest lagoon
#

I asked about chainsword and all I got was "it's bad, trash, worst weapon" with zero explanation why

hollow ibex
#

it's not that serious, no need to fight over this like this when trump isn't even fighting over the strait of hormuz

#

Thank you lmao

unreal nova
forest lagoon
#

Is there any noticeable difference for the chainaxe or is that much the same?

unreal nova
#

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.

feral stratus
unreal nova
#

Let alone a conga line of 10+ crushers.

feral stratus
#

Again, against pox walker group is good but imo there are better options like my Lord and savior the sapper shovel

turbid ibex
#

or power sword

feral stratus
#

Yea that too

forest lagoon
turbid ibex
#

shovel is

#

alright

#

not the worst but also not really great

unreal nova
forest lagoon
#

um

#

what about the chainaxe

unreal nova
#

Mk1 is generalist all-rounder. Mk3 is when you wanna 2 special a crusher.

forest lagoon
#

this thing plays very differently to the chainsword

unreal nova
feral stratus
#

Chainaxe is... Weird

forest lagoon
unreal nova
#

Chain axe can be used in H40.

#

Papa uses it to traumatise me till I ded.

#

Stealth maulers thing.

forest lagoon
#

well it certainly seems to do a lot to crushers

hollow ibex
#

chaxe is pretty strong rn

hearty panther
#

Chaxe12 kicks ass

hollow ibex
#

much better place than chord

feral stratus
#

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

feral stratus
#

Ofc

unreal nova
#

Especially mk3.

feral stratus
#

I have to use the MK3 more

forest lagoon
#

Is that the folding one

feral stratus
#

Yep

forest lagoon

fold then smack armoured thing on head

Mr E posted ez havoc 40 build. My opinion has been formed KEKW_ogryn

void dragon

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

If you have nade regen talents you can throw those all game

Throw smokes

tame lodge

Ok but like

It only counts health damage

So keep your toughness at 100% at all times

scarlet crescent
slow spade
#

yeah it sucks

#

recon doesn't have much finesse

#

I personally prefer Focus Target

somber axle
#

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

fading girder
turbid ibex
#

manstopper flechette

#

and weapon specialist keystone for guaranteed crit and always prepared

sudden glen
#

Does the Weapon Specialist perk count as a reload?

somber axle
#

there's a guide in pins you can check if you're ever curious about perks/blessings/dump stats for any Vet weapon

fading girder
#

alright cool , already have that build , guessing useal 25+ damage to carpace armoured enemies as well

somber axle
#

Maniac/Flak and bring a good melee for can opening

#

alternatively kraks

#

but still bring a melee you're comfy taking into Crushers

turbid ibex
sudden glen
#

You could take chainsword. Go full Doomguy.

somber axle
#

those are both also solid for can opener duty

elfin glacier
#

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.

turbid ibex

#

I didn't say chainsword was LOL

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

elfin glacier
#

Not for me lol

tall torrent
elfin glacier
#

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

tall torrent
#

VII and IX may take extra shots/bursts

elfin glacier
#

ah interesting.

#

I guess I can assume for guns thats often the reason for whats the best. one shot breakpoints.

tall torrent
#

depends on the weapon

feral stratus

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?

i haven't tried the new ranged cleave node but i presume its good on all of them

otherwise nothing in particular

feral stratus
#

Alright

hearty panther
#

which model you looking at

feral stratus
#

Was using the IX

hollow ibex
#

could try something like this

#

actually works quite well

#

and then there's my meme build

feral stratus
#

Imma try it out thanks

hollow ibex
#

deadshot and WS helps with reliable manstopper procs

#

and CS with manstopper is pretty funny

feral stratus
#

Any reason to use the VII instead of others like the IX or VI?

#

Or is it just preference

hearty panther
#

i don't know what these numbers mean anymore

feral stratus
#

The marks

hearty panther
#

yea but idk what they correlate to lol

hollow ibex
#

agri>zarona>>>>assatran

hearty panther
#

agrippina is default the best one

hollow ibex
#

idr numbers either

shell harness
# feral stratus Or is it just preference

"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

hollow ibex
#

the shotguns aren't just differentiated by special

hearty panther
#

old names dumb google

hollow ibex
#

their primary shot and ergonomics differ quite a bit too

hearty panther
#

i think the agrip and the zarona should have their ammo counts traded

hollow ibex
#

heres my copypasta

hearty panther
#

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

elfin glacier
#

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

slow sky
elfin glacier
#

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.

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

sharp epoch
#

ive been using it since the tac awareness nerf

void gyro
#

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

yeah, i don't play havoc so its no biggie to skip

it used to end when you were disabled or swapped to melee but they buffed it

NOPE

it absolutely ends the buff immeaditely

pseudo fiber
#

Yeah you don't lose EXE when stunned anymore

#

Or when swapping off your ranged weapon

#

(Thank god)

void gyro
#

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

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, Iโ€™ll show you the side-by-side comparison between the Psykhanium and actual gameplay

Fatshark, please fix this!

idk why no fix

turbid ibex
#

Whats the bug

tame lodge
#

From that thumbnail

#

I'd say

thorn lark
#

apparently, the talents do not proce during missions

tame lodge
#

Dots consume shroud bonuses

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

but everything is fine in psyk

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

Oh ok I was ways off

#

๐Ÿ’€

turbid ibex
#

I could gather something wasnt working

#

But what is it

tall torrent
#

scourge is not bugged

#

it is not supposed to gain stack if u crit kill

#

perfectionist not giving CDR is bug

thorn lark
#

I think it is a feature now

#

2024

tall torrent
#

this I didn't know

#

lol

thorn lark
#

watch the video, it's working in the psyk

tall torrent
#

hopefully they can fix

#

who knows

thorn lark
#

arco was talking about it in 2024 lmao

pseudo fiber
#

Lmfao

#

Feature then

#

Then again we thought T1 hotshot being better than T4 was a feature

#

WHOOPS

tame lodge
#

I miss Rashad insta killing 6 poxxers

thorn lark
tall torrent
#

dats why I swapped to vet later on

#

Guide WIP

#

Are you really a good guide

thorn lark
#

he's a good WIP

#

he has been for years now

formal ice
#

Good work in progress guide

tame lodge
#

A work in progress guide is eventually good

tall torrent
#

@pseudo fiber changed og power maul build a bit
skullcrusher + power surge
unyielding/flak + carapace

pseudo fiber
#

Nice ill give it another go tonight maybe

#

I still don't like ogryn that much hahaha

tall torrent
#

I also use FT on vet more now instead of WS

#

FT dmg is kinda just hard to beat

tame lodge
#

Rare Power Surge representation

#

Wait a second

tall torrent
#

power surge + big boom is like almost 11m blast radius

#

lol

tame lodge
#

The special got reworked too

#

I see

#

So you have 2 big booms on top of that

tall torrent
#

it's 2 explosions at the same time

tough nova
#

The lower cd with push stagger and taunt lets you permastagger stuff

tall torrent
#

max skullcrusher too

#

u don't actually need SP atk to stagger things either, showed a clip with it before

tall torrent
#

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

tame lodge
#

Power Surge was ass when it got released
But I haven't seen it with the new special

#

So it might be cooking

tall torrent
#

VoC stagger but can't stagger boss

#

every 10s

pseudo fiber
#

You said power maul and I legit thought you meant shock maul tho lol

tall torrent
#

shock maul is cooked

pseudo fiber
#

I was like "What tree is this"

tall torrent
#

also

#

unrelated to og

tame lodge
tall torrent
#

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

tall torrent
#

2x power sword's dps btw

turbid ibex
#

Woaw

tall torrent
#

just download vid and see for urself

#

u can delete vid after

turbid ibex
#

No i just didnt really understand the video

thorn lark
#

it makes everything unhinged

tall torrent
#

2x power sword dps with 0% of power sword downsides

thorn lark
#

even the heavy sword is carried by it

tall torrent
#

I'm almost convinced this made it through to live because playtesters don't check rashad

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

they played taxe, probably

tame lodge
#

Did you just 1 hit 2000 damage maniac

#

Well technically you didn't because PA

#

But still

tall torrent
#

yea smth like dat

#

very balanced class

tame lodge
tall torrent
#

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

tame lodge
#

I'm starting to think the forum people are right about FS not having playtesters

tall torrent
#

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

tame lodge
#

Instead of Thrust

tall torrent
#

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

trim badger
#

It's so broken xddd

tall torrent
#

only rzn to not run it is blight (stinky anyway) tbh

trim badger
#

Tho tbh Duelling Sword probably benefits more from benediction

#

Since it barely consumes stamina

tame lodge
trim badger
#

But for every single other option I don't understand why people don't pick zealous

tame lodge
#

I still have to run Lasgun Zealot though

tall torrent
tall torrent
trim badger
#

For sigmar...

tame lodge
tall torrent
tame lodge
#

It's also

thorn lark
#

Sigmar is dead

tame lodge
#

Ranged weapon on zealot

#

Of course it's not great

hearty panther
#

all i need is throwing knives

#

(so i can throw the game)

tame lodge
#

Headhunter + Ghost
iLas zealot

#

You see where I'm going with this

turbid ibex
hearty panther
#

yea thats what i did

#

not headhunter tho

turbid ibex
hearty panther
#

i didnt care to do actual damage with it, i just needed the utility to not get instantly shredderized by gunners

tame lodge
thorn lark
hearty panther
#

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

grand perch
#

laspistol would have the advantage of giving suppression immunity

hearty panther
#

laspistol used to just have run n gun

#

dont think that was the mod

grand perch
#

nono, in that case, its the mod

#

they specifically patched that out soon enough

hearty panther
#

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

arctic ridge
#

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.

turbid ibex
hearty panther
#

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

unreal nova
hearty panther
#

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

unreal nova
#

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.

arctic ridge
unreal nova
mighty kestrel
#

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

hollow ibex
#

kraks are ok

#

pretty good for shoring up builds lacking cara damage

#

and deleting the fun-stopper-9000 (bulwarks)

mighty kestrel
#

If you not a meta slave, duelling sword ass so yeah Kraks

hollow ibex
#

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

mighty kestrel
#

Maybe they should add more blitz for Veteran, something like a grenade laucher (โ โœทโ โ€ฟโ โœทโ )

#

Would be so fun if vet have something like Hive Scum laucher

#

And Hivescum laucher gotta have a option for each situation

mighty kestrel
arctic ridge
#

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.

mighty kestrel
#

Krak is very still meta pick as long as rotten armor is still a thing

#

And lower difficulty krak is meta

mighty kestrel
#

Shredder good is like un the high end middle if you get what i mean

hollow ibex
#

bro's playing on patches from last year when kraks were bad ๐Ÿ’€

mighty kestrel
#

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

arctic ridge
#

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.

mighty kestrel
#

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 โ—•โ แด—โ โ—•โ โœฟโ )

steep flower
#

And DoTโ€™s

#

Cause rottens DR does not affect dots

heavy rover
#

Outside of rotten armour I've had way better win rates in havoc when I use smokes

steep flower
arctic ridge
#

On highest difficulties, would the up'd 30 sec of smoke be dis/advantageous?

steep flower
heavy rover
#

I run power sword and sunder so mixed horde clear isn't too big of a problem for me

steep flower
heavy rover
#

and if the power sword doesn't finish them off, I also use the Trench Fighter Drills and Serrated Edge talent

arctic ridge
heavy rover
#

easy to charge up another set of strikes or the bleed finishes them off for me

mighty kestrel
#

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

turbid ibex
#

power sword is one of the best melees in the game

jovial yarrow
#

Honestly good design to have such an offensive weapon have such ass defenses

willow prairie
#

you can play around it so it not really an issue

queen timber
#

Is there any vet support/stealth builds that use spearhead or bolt pistol

willow prairie
#

alternately play vt2 to get better at melee

tame lodge
#

Big Bolter is alright though

#

You can use both marks

#

But they tend to go ExecStance

#

Instead of VoC/stealth

queen timber
#

Damn I need to get used to another playstyle then, I like the spearhead a lot for some reason

queen timber
tame lodge
#

Grenadier build with VoC or Stealth

#

You can throw grenades while stealth

#

Just has to be underhand

queen timber
#

Yes

tame lodge
#

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

queen timber
#

The team yearns for toughness

calm shard
tame lodge
#

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

queen timber
#

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

hollow ibex
fading girder
#

i find the big bolt gun too cumbersome when trying to swap to mellee or kraks

queen timber
queen timber
fading girder
#

i like me bolt pistol tho shame the gun n run perk was fun tho i switched from that

hollow ibex
#

you can just take bistol instead of DB here

#

make sure to take lethal prox as a bistol blessing

queen timber
#

I see

turbid ibex
#

there is also the build on the pinned guide as well

queen timber
#

I'll look into that as well

faint beacon
#

Even though EStance + Born Leader is unironically a disgusting combo

weak hamlet
#

That's a sight to see

tame lodge
#

This one in specific is like

#

True Neutral = peel and buff

#

Radical=kills

#

Something something

#

Yeah that's pretty much it

Well just keep going on an infinite loop

tame lodge

Yes and?

#

Anyways

#

I propose we make a chart like that

#

But for the abilities

faint beacon

Thereโ€™s 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

if his preferred melee was a power sword instead of chainsword then probably yes

thorn lark

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

garbo tier weapon, only on MorbidlyobeseShrimp it chould happen to one of the most iconic weapons of the universe

tall torrent
void dragon
tame lodge
#

Garbage tier is exclusively for weapons with cleave damage distribution cap

tame lodge
#

Nuh uh

tall torrent
#

I think it's just bonesaw and DC sword

void dragon
#

what is the most garbo tier weapon for you mate? there must be one like the tier 0 Power Sword

silver patrol
#

what about crowbar

tall torrent
#

going from t0 to t3

silver patrol
#

insane

tall torrent
#

in S/A/B/C terms this would be like a A-

silver patrol
#

isn't t0 the best tier btw

tall torrent
#

or B+

#

yea

Items within the same tier are in alphabetical order.

"Devil's Claw" Sword (VII) - every other class

#

this my tier list for melee weapons currently

silver patrol
#

i suppose it just feels like dogshit because otherwise hivescum has an excellent selection

tall torrent
#

if a weapon has a clear best variant then only that variant is considered

tall torrent
#

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

void dragon
silver patrol
#

is that the shovel

void dragon
#

what does Thammer is still missing? i know its cleave damage isnt that great but what else it lacks?

silver patrol
#

oh i forgot Ogryn has the shovel too

tame lodge
#

Mainly stagger

tall torrent
silver patrol
#

Me when the weapon that should be literally all stagger doesn't stagger

tall torrent
#

if u take GW for TH (which u shud) it's alr at stagger

void dragon
tall torrent
#

by alr I mean u can light atk stagger both rager on weakspot

tame lodge
#

You need a whole ass talent for stagger

silver patrol
#

uhhh

tame lodge
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

๐Ÿฅ€

tall torrent
#

but if u play martyr u can afford it

#

martyr is cheap point cost

void dragon
tame lodge
#

Martyrdom goated as always

tall torrent
#

TH cleave quite good

#

H sweep 16.5 cleave

#

it's cleave dmg distribution that's not as good

void dragon
#

yeah it swings all the way you wish it to hit, but the damage it does doesnt feel good

void dragon
tall torrent
turbid ibex
#

but only really the t0 ones are actually problematic right?

void dragon
#

funny how the scum elevates the almighty rashad to a new level of brokeness

tame lodge
#

Not a single t0 for zealot

#

#

Or Arbites

as the Emperor demanded

leave the pure classes i actually like outside of corrupted Ogryn alone

i wonder what a ranged version of the tierlist would look like

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

a wep totally dependent on one specific ult and keystone

#

doesn't deserve to be ranked any higher

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

you could take rampage and any keystone w/ rashad

#

and clean house

#

that is not crowbar

turbid ibex
tall torrent
#

it's genuinely not bad lol

lone escarp
#

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

hollow ibex

esp with its horde clear times

hearty panther
#

i fought off an entire intergalactic invasion force with a crowbar once

#

fuck you know about me
