drowsy perch
#

tiny ass buff

#

not gonna remotely make up for the lack of rending

slow sky
#

It just has too hard of a competition with other blessings

#

0 to 0.2

#

The attacks did no damage before

#

That is infinitely higher

drowsy perch
#

still nothing compared to the rending its losing

tidal fox
#

but is da shovel meant for killing doe

drowsy perch
#

yes

unreal nova
tame lodge
#

๐Ÿ’€

drowsy perch
#

shovels are meant for unarmored horde or single targets

slow sky
#

Even if it was 0.05 to 0.2, thats still a 4x increase

drowsy perch
#

now theyre gonna be shit against single target

tidal fox
# tame lodge

my teammates watchin me do all this bullshit instead of just being the ranged class

slow sky
#

They got like all of their attacks buffed

unreal nova
#

And talking purely about shovel here. Knoife may need a buff as well.

desert viper
tame lodge
#

your shovel is laced if it took 15 seconds

hybrid plover
#

PLEASE NO

desert viper
slow sky
#

Knife is one of th3 weapons least affected

slow sky
#

It hits the adm of 1 with newcanny

hybrid plover
#

At 40% brittleness it's pretty much already doing full damage on the attacks you actually want to hit bigger targets with

#

And that's fine.

unreal nova
desert viper
#

2 hits for max brittleness btw

desert viper
drowsy perch
hybrid plover
#

120% rending hass been extremely overkill for a long time

#

It's about time

drowsy perch
#

each attack got 0.05 to 0.2 more

drowsy perch
desert viper
#

in which case

#

the second or third stab will definetly do it

slow sky
hybrid plover
#

I feel the need to mention

#

A small change in ADMs

#

Is not a small change in damage to that armor type

#

It's the same reason that despite Rending Strikes only having 10% rending

unreal nova
#

I guess skullcrusher decimator meta now.

hybrid plover
#

It's still picked

#

Because 10% rending is actually quite significant on its own

slow sky
drowsy perch
#

yeah

#

and 40% brittle is nothing

#

genuinely

desert viper
#

that's just objectively wrong

drowsy perch
#

considering 40% is the max

#

no

#

that is ass

#

shovel doesnt even have good cleave against armor

#

literally like the worst weapon to have brittle

slow sky
#

What are you even saying

hybrid plover
#

What are you talking about

slow sky
#

Wdym it had bad cleave against armor

drowsy perch
#

it gets stopped by a single guy in armor

slow sky
#

Why specifically "against armor"

slow sky
hybrid plover
slow sky
#

Like every other weapon????

hybrid plover
#

That's not the shovel

#

That's literally every other weapon

drowsy perch
#

false

fluid shadow
#

Shovel is fine KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
#

It cleaves through flak just fine.

quiet lark
hybrid plover
#

Please refrain

#

That's not a specific thing to shovel

tame lodge
#

It's true

#

Shovel doesn't have good cleave armor

drowsy perch
desert viper
#

this is really not the hill you should want to die on

hybrid plover
#

Every weapon has that caveat unless they're running a blessing that explicitly lets them ignore it

fluid shadow
# drowsy perch false

I play a kriegsman helborn shovel build, and it can clear flak fine, if i really need it i just use a krak at my feet

slow sky
# drowsy perch false

Name me one weapon, without a blessing, that can do that innately
There is only 1 melee that can currently and it is borderline negligible

tame lodge
#

Another loss for weapons without Sunder, perfect strike unstoppable Force or brutal Momentum

#

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

with uncanny?

slow sky
quiet lark
#

ah shoot what is it

willow prairie
toxic reef
#

oggy shield h2?

willow prairie
#

also yesh crusher special

slow sky
willow prairie
#

oggy h2 have infinite cleave but it doesn't bypass carapace

drowsy perch
slow sky
#

moth

#

i have played the changes

#

they are fine

quiet lark
slow sky
#

the shovel
its fine

hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

it also means a bunch of other weapons are getting fucked by this

hybrid plover
#

as in like

unreal nova
drowsy perch
#

since US was on a bunch

hybrid plover
#

the light after special?

#

because that move has a lot of cleave

willow prairie
#

yeah

tame lodge
#

instead of 2

willow prairie
#

that one

tame lodge
#

to kill that last mauler

unreal nova
#

Because you won't get 1:1 old uncanny shovel.

desert viper
hybrid plover
#

good

#

Uncanny deserves the nerf.

drowsy perch
#

for anything auric or higher

hybrid plover
#

It's getting buffed ๐Ÿ˜ญ

slow sky
#

shovel and force swords are getting innate buffs to carapace, and baseline, to compensate

tame lodge
slow sky
#

the others are the reason its being nerfed in the first place

desert viper
tame lodge
#

So it can cleave through

hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

not gonna be enough

hybrid plover
#

Cleave override and all.

unreal nova
drowsy perch
#

we took away 120% rending and gave u tiny increases to adm

desert viper
#

ok

drowsy perch
#

waow

desert viper
#

I'm getting upset

#

so I'm gonna step away now

slow sky
tame lodge
slow sky
#

and now that just got buffed

hybrid plover
#

You see my name. I understand the way of the Heavy Sword chadgryn

tame lodge
#

true

slow sky
#

was uncanny better? yes
but deci sc was fun

#

and still good

#

and now its better

hybrid plover
#

You know

#

Actually

#

Hold on, you're right

drowsy perch
#

literally just started using shovel again and bought a fucking cosmetic for it

hybrid plover
#

If shovel do the better armor damage

drowsy perch
#

and now im gonna have to dump it because its gonna be hot shit against armor

hybrid plover
#

...I can use skullcrusher

drowsy perch
#

i liked it because it was good for horde and single target armor

hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

now its gonna be shit against anything but horde

slow sky
#

plus elites too

drowsy perch
#

and still 40% max fucking brittle from a blessing

#

thats genuine garbage

hybrid plover
slow sky
#

HOLY SHIT

hybrid plover
#

lmao

#

Well

willow prairie
#

uh

hybrid plover
#

Not literally

drowsy perch
#

why the fuck would anybody use it

hybrid plover
#

More like

tame lodge
#

it was always shit

slow sky
#

40% BRITTLENESS IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE

hybrid plover
#

80%

tame lodge
#

so its not changing

drowsy perch
#

like isnt that the worst brittle blessing there is now

hybrid plover
#

Thunderous, is right there.

tame lodge
#

its not even good for hordes

slow sky
drowsy perch
#

talent isnt a blessing

fluid shadow
#

Why argue about this when you can just decide to use the weapon or not and move on

slow sky
#

shattering impact also stacks 2x slower and costs ammo too

slow sky
drowsy perch
#

and now its being made hot shit for anything above auric

fluid shadow
toxic reef
#

idt brittleness is weak, I just don't really like that it's target dependent

tame lodge
#

it was always shit

toxic reef
#

but skullcrusher sounds fun at least

tame lodge
#

so nothing changed

unreal nova
willow prairie
#

skullcrusher alway been good

hybrid plover
slow sky
fluid shadow
#

We have serrated + shredder frags/kraks for a reason people

willow prairie
#

it just have trouble vs bosses and crusher on stagger cd

drowsy perch
unreal nova
#

So maybe it needs a fix as well?

desert viper
#

this is why you don't crutch on blessings to like a weapon by the way

drowsy perch
#

u also never answered if youre using uncanny

tame lodge
#

technically its a hit

tame lodge
#

so shrimp will keep shrimping

fluid shadow
drowsy perch
willow prairie
#

i mean scum can run headtaker + deci but scum make everything better

slow sky
drowsy perch
#

half the fucking shots dont register

hybrid plover
#

They've done nothing wrong

#

Bulwarks are the bane of my existence

willow prairie
slow sky
#

if the weapon only works well when you have a specific blessing
its poorly designed and needs to change
luckily
they did that this patch

unreal nova
willow prairie
#

I mean power cycler, power surge, bromentum still exist

slow sky
#

and i dont like that they exist

drowsy perch
#

ok and

slow sky
#

bromentum is the bane of my existence in terms of design

hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

"the thing you like is getting nerfed but theres other stuff thats good"

#

???

#

i dont want to use other stuff i want to use the fucking thing i want to use

#

without it being made shit

tame lodge
#

then fucking use it

desert viper
#

this has got to be a mental blockade that stops you from understanding it isn't a nerf

tame lodge
hybrid plover
drowsy perch
#

shovel absolutely needed rending

#

its 100% a nerf

hybrid plover
#

you literally can't try it yet

tame lodge
#

whats stopping you from using?

drowsy perch
#

tiny fucking adm increase is nothing

#

wow u do like 5 more damage

#

wowowowowowowoeoed

#

oh my God

quiet lark
tame lodge
#

what shovel needs iis better horde clear and stagger

unreal nova
tame lodge
toxic reef
#

decimator is horde clear tho

unreal nova
#

So all niche weapons still aren't great.

tame lodge
#

cddc still exists on it

toxic reef
#

that's like the most fun thing on shovel

hybrid plover
slow sky
#

and it is significant in practice

quiet lark
slow sky
#

i cannot tell you how noticable it feels

hybrid plover
#

But there's a clear indication they're adjusting things to combat the hyperdensity

unreal nova
desert viper
desert viper
#

this is Literally Every Scenario

unreal nova
toxic reef
#

I still hope they have some spawn override for crusher packs hidden in some place

desert viper
hybrid plover
#

But the increased density across the board kind of undid the nerf to crusher rate for that update

#

They won't spawn as much in one instance, but there's more instances for them to spawn.

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

So in practice, it didn't truly change the issue with crusher spawn rates

willow prairie
#

It wasn't that bad after class rework

tame lodge
#

I agree with moth

#

Shovel is shit

#

Please buff

willow prairie
#

but now more weapon are becoming viable since less crusher span

desert viper
#

stop being lame

tame lodge
#

No

#

Shovel is shit

toxic reef
#

that's their brand

tame lodge
#

I'm being truthful

tame lodge
#

I'm not sugarcoating it

desert viper
#

I promise you that you've parroted this enough

tame lodge
#

Ok I'll give it a break

#

But it won't last long

#

๐Ÿซก

desert viper
#

thanks

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

It seems Cole is more aware of how this game is gonna feel after the update since

#

Playtester

hybrid plover
#

So there's gotta be some credence that it's at least noticeable.

desert viper
#

if it is as they say in truly everything then the double dipped spawns in horde events will give you like 4 to 5 crushers now

tame lodge
#

it's really funny how Cole had to highlight the significant part

unreal nova
tame lodge
#

cough falchion incident cough

slow sky
#

but im not talking about skill

#

im talking about how much armor it feels like there is

#

and its not a lot

#

even on havoc

hybrid plover
willow prairie
#

if average player get to test darktide then scum would have infinite ammo desperado bolter

slow sky
#

and yeah they do

hybrid plover
#

If anything, it's good it's not the average player because you'd need the game sense to be aware of a change like that.

desert viper
#

they have average folk in their playtesting bunch

tame lodge
#

But also you'd be encompassing all sorts of players with the avgs

hybrid plover
#

Honestly, what even is average in this game anymore?

unreal nova
# austere mica They do?

Unless you count the devs themselves. Last time I saw. They are worse than avg. Or abusing smite.

tame lodge
#

Less than 2k hours? KEKW_ogryn

desert viper
#

had a friend like that

austere mica
slow sky
#

im getting about 1k dps against crushers without uncanny with shovel, with proper staggers

tame lodge
#

Yeah there's a good amount of people stuck in heresy

#

Since forever

slow sky
#

its higher if i take advantage of VoC for longer SC windows

#

it ends up being similar to taxe light spam, if done correctly

hybrid plover
desert viper
tame lodge
#

Kek

#

Don't worry about it

slow sky
tame lodge
#

Not everyone has 2k free hours

desert viper
#

accumulated 2k hours from console time and pc time

#

my conclusion is a simple one

#

I want heatsink buffs

tame lodge
#

True

#

Also buff overload to 30%

slow sky
#

i remember when heatsink was stupid OP

desert viper
#

I still use it despite everyone else telling me not to

#

I'm too much of a chud to care about heat bar management

hybrid plover
desert viper
#

play for another 5 hours and 2 minutes

tame lodge
#

I mean
We are 1 step away from having overload heatsink meta

hybrid plover
tame lodge
#

Lmfao

#

It's a great game though

desert viper
#

it is not unemployment. it is great passion

hybrid plover
#

It's just the perfect game

#

To come back home from a stressful work shift to

unreal nova
slow sky
hybrid plover
#

To just turn your brain off and kill things

#

I just happened to get fixated enough to become somewhat decent at it

hybrid plover
desert viper
hybrid plover
#

Though I know you got hours in other departments.

#

I actually wasn't there for the beta.

desert viper
#

what I do care about are my boundaries being pushed because someone can't understand the game is not to be balanced or viewed from a Heresy Difficulty perspective

slow sky
hybrid plover
#

I KNOW

#

I WAS INTENDING MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE TO IMPLY THIS INFORMATION

#

WHY AM I CAPS LOCKED

desert viper
#

unlock yourself pls

slow sky
tame lodge
#

You should unlock yourself

#

NOW

hybrid plover
#

No.

#

Wait.

#

Shit

austere mica
tame lodge
#

Sleeper agent activation code

austere mica
#

The Index sleeper agent prescript

unreal nova
slow sky
#

i swapped grenade nodes for +elite dmg and +rending

desert viper
slow sky
#

i can now get 1k dps with 2 stab push combos, and lights in between

#

each light at 10 stacks of deci doing 371 dmg

#

still with no +cara perk

desert viper
austere mica
#

General chat dwellers are very normal and well adjusted

tame lodge
#

There's no way you just said that

hybrid plover
#

With all honesty.

#

And truthfulness.

austere mica
desert viper
slow sky
#

anyway
properly build shovel with no uncanny deals with crushers pretty decently with the adjustments

#

not amazingly, but it was never going to

#

but it hovers around taxe light spam dps when executed properly which is considered fairly decent at armor

tame lodge
#

Shovel moment

hybrid plover
#

It may not be the fastest.

#

But I'll be damned to live without shovel bonk

desert viper
#

it does its job

#

like an old laptop that can still play you spotify music

slow sky
#

when SC finally gets its due nerfs tho, thats when id like to see shovel get some finesse bumps, then the age of take a swing can finally arrive

desert viper
#

would take a swing be good with horizontal PAs if that happens

slow sky
#

hold on

#

lets

#

fuckin

#

slap onslaught on here

hybrid plover
#

on the shovel?

slow sky
#

yeah

hybrid plover
#

lol

desert viper
hybrid plover
#

embed fail

sly orchid
hybrid plover
#

I was gonna say that's weird

#

But I realize

slow sky
hybrid plover
#

SC and Deci with Onslaught

slow sky
#

exactly

hybrid plover
#

tbf I've done that with tac axe

#

So I can't really say that much

slow sky
#

it becomes inconsistent based on what i do

#

so theres a wide range of dps times

#

because do i lightspam to stack up, then stagger and pa spam to captialize?

#

if so, how much?

sly orchid
#

Ok cole hear me out

tame lodge
#

SC is never getting touched

sly orchid
#

Relentless strikes on crusher

tame lodge
#

Because they would have to adjust ogryn weapons too

desert viper
#

what is SC again

#

skullcrusher

#

?

hybrid plover
#

Skullcrusher

tame lodge
#

Skullcrusher

#

Skrusher

sly orchid
#

Super credits

tame lodge
#

Shut

desert viper
#

I named my ogryn after that blessing

desert viper
slow sky
#

i just did 2500 damage with a crit PA

tame lodge
#

Shovel moment

sly orchid
#

Think about it crusher does need multiple hits to kill stuff

slow sky
#

if you hit about 4-5 lights, then voc and spam PAs at their head you get close to as much damage as a shred/newcanny DS with a cara perk (the shovel doesnt atm)

sly orchid
#

So relentless strikes would be very cool and awesome amd strong on it

slow sky
#

it was about 1800 dps and ds was about 2000

#

bear in mind newcanny barely changes DS at all

hybrid plover
#

But DS did in fact

tame lodge
#

And if you go pa heavy you don't end up cleaving and losing relentless strikes stack

hybrid plover
#

Get nerfed

slow sky
#

yes

#

the crit mod got dropped

hybrid plover
#

The Emperor be with us

slow sky
#

it doesnt seem like a lot

#

but thats a lot

#

are the crits still indicitive of one of the best finesse scaling weapons? yes

#

but is it as buttfuck stupid as it was before? no

#

it is still one of the best single target weapons in the game by far and people will still crutch on it tho

hybrid plover
#

I mean, fact is

#

It's just safe about it

tame lodge
#

The riposte attack seems unchanged so maybe Fatshark is trying to open it as an option for attacking

hybrid plover
#

Really long range heavies on fast zippy weapon

sly orchid
#

Push attacks are fast enough to keep stacks

hybrid plover
#

Also I do want to mention this

#

My understanding is, the new Uncanny would function as a debuff. Is the debuff applied while your weapon is switched?

#

As it, the enemy would still have the stacks, as you've taken out your ranged weapon.

tame lodge
#

That's how brittleness works yup

sly orchid
#

Do you know what brittleness is?

slow sky
#

its basically finesse weapons version of thunderous

hybrid plover
#

I know what brittleness is but I just wanted to be sure that's how it was gonna work.

slow sky
#

thats what i should call it from now on

tame lodge
#

4 seconds or something

slow sky
#

thundercanny

#

i am very smart

tame lodge
#

I don't like it

#

๐Ÿ’€

hybrid plover
#

So yeah it ltierally is just better Thunderous across the board

slow sky
hybrid plover
#

But my thought here is

slow sky
#

uncanny applies 20% per weakspot hit

tame lodge
#

We are not calling it unc under though

hybrid plover
#

This opens up some ideas for making ranged weapons do actual damage

#

Against crushers and the like

slow sky
#

so its 2x as better as thunderous, but it just has to hit the head

tame lodge
#

Well yeah

#

I've been saying

slow sky
#

so it cant do what thunderous does and aoe spams it via pushes

tame lodge
#

I'll be plinking crushers with ilas

#

If I see that my teammate has uncanny

desert viper
tame lodge
#

In fact

#

I'll use the iLas vs carapace build

#

That we have somewhere around here

hybrid plover
#

The fact that you can put on demand brittleness on combat knife

tame lodge
#

It's 40% brittleness for freePepeHappy

hybrid plover
#

...Oh god. Gun scum is about to go bonkers

#

No one saw that.

desert viper
#

sure I didn't.

tame lodge
#

What abominations can I create

#

Knife Brauto WS

#

Not that brittleness would matter much

desert viper
#

US shiv desperado build

tame lodge
#

Because point blank brauto is around 100% adm

desert viper
#

Make your uzis hit crushers

silver patrol
#

at that point you might aswell just kill it with stabs

slow sky
#

its the fact that youd need to reapply it to every enemy

#

thats why they went this route rather than just make it melee rending

#

specifically when taking into account stuff like soulblaze

hybrid plover
#

This was a hit to DoT damage

slow sky
tame lodge
#

Yeah but in this specific case it's just because point blank brauto Adms are quite high

slow sky
#

melee rending would mean it is completely gone

#

brittleness means its less effective (lower cap, not global to all dotted enemies)

hybrid plover
#

Honestly, it is kind of a hit to DPS too since, you won't be able to move from one target to the next with full rending like before.

#

That being said.

#

I'm alright with that.

slow sky
#

uncanny actually got hit less hard
opportunist is melee rending now which means stuff like shield bleed took a hit

tame lodge
#

Yea

#

Rip

#

My goat

#

I'll never forget you buddy

hybrid plover
desert viper
slow sky
#

i will evil_pos_monkey

sly orchid
hybrid plover
#

I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned

desert viper
#

I wish shield did more damage

slow sky
#

what other rending blessing got hit the same way

hybrid plover
#

Bladed Momentum

slow sky
#

yeah that one

hybrid plover
#

I mean.

slow sky
#

tho thats less of an issue

#

were you dotmaxxing with that really

hybrid plover
#

I guess if you use it, that's a nerf,

slow sky
#

ig you could be ngl

hybrid plover
tame lodge
slow sky
#

you could with flamer or purg

sly orchid
tame lodge
#

Just game me fuel to pester Fatshark about buffing ogryn

hybrid plover
#

I was running that with a Perfect Strike + Bladed Momentum build, with serrated

#

It's.

slow sky
hybrid plover
#

I mean it's pretty funny

tame lodge
#

Another 500 buffs to Psyker

#

Glory to the emperor

slow sky
#

but i think those becoming standardized is something that needed to happen for future changes and additions

#

melee blessings shouldnt be letting dots ignore armor types

sly orchid
#

Whats that?

#

Smite needs to now deal 30% more damage?

slow sky
#

id honestly argue, especially for opportunist, it could allow for it to be raised a bit

silver patrol
#

personally, i think scrier's gaze is quite underperforming when i smash my face on the keyboard

#

i think it needs some buffs

sly orchid
#

Actualy i think brainburst should oneshot crushers

tame lodge
#

My nails aren't painted when I'm casting BB, therefore buff Psyker

#

Also direct hit carapace buff is pretty funny

hybrid plover
tame lodge
#

Probably my last bet on what they would buff on inferno

hybrid plover
#

psyker truly is just playing a different game out here

dapper coyote
#

Tf are the differences between 2 laspistol marks?

tame lodge
#

One is good

hybrid plover
tame lodge
#

The other is Mk10

#

Presumably you can just 1 shot left and right with mk10

dapper coyote
tame lodge
#

Under the right circumstances

#

But Mk2 has higher dps

hybrid plover
#

They both have crazy finesse modifiers and I know they have innate crit but forgot the value

#

Mk2 is generally the preferred option

#

Fast one

silver patrol
#

the other also costs 3 ammo per shot

hybrid plover
#

I'ma be real

#

Idek what that actually means for laser weapons

#

As in, the lasers being inconsistent with how much ammo they take as a number is just weird to me

faint beacon
tame lodge
#

Oh also Mk2 has no sprint to fire delay iirc

silver patrol
silver patrol
#

but yeah, it's just there to trick you with the laspistol

hybrid plover
#

I guess infantry lasgun does apply here actually.

faint beacon
#

I guess idk

hybrid plover
#

But

#

Only that gun.

#

None of the others really have reason for it but, w.e

tame lodge
#

Ogryn guns buff still in the corner

#

Gathering cobwebs

#

And dust

hybrid plover
#

But hey PBB is buffed!

tame lodge
#

Woooo that's my Fatshark

#

That's why they are the goat

#

The goat

hybrid plover
#

And buffed in a really funny way.

junior haven
#

if there was any buff you'd likely still complain

tame lodge
#

I don't complain about good buffs

junior haven
#

yeah sure

tame lodge
#

Yeah

#

I know myself

desert viper
tame lodge
#

But don't worry about it

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

#

And there's nothing we can do about it

#

But consoome

junior haven
#

but endlessly complain on discord

tame lodge
#

Consoome

slow sky
#

3 million damage into rotten armor with twink stubbers bro

#

ig man

#

least ammo taken

#

ig

desert viper
faint beacon
#

so its weak

#

Smh

slow sky
desert viper
#

oh I see

#

I thought this was an ominous ogryn teaser

slow sky
sly orchid
#

Thank you a.a

hybrid plover
slow sky
#

wholesome chungus gungryn (consistently more damage than purg psyker, player just needs to know when to shoot and when to melee)

it wont ever get nerfed or made reasonable because people think it still sucks

Power maul so good it straight up freezes your game

hybrid plover
slow sky
#

and ogryn guns cant be buffed cuz pbb is too strong when active and fixing that would require moving some of the pbb power to the ogryn guns but that means pbb gets nerfed and why would you nerf a """bad""" ability

sly orchid

Solution

#

Nerf rumbler

Nerf Voice of Command

pbb rumbler so fun

#

tbh it was fun before the buff

i ran it

Running point blank rumbler should get you flayed and salted

#

Smh

#

I have an idea

slow sky
# drowsy perch i apologize for overreacting i am in a break stuff kind of mood because i havent...

btw while you dipped out i did a bit of testing
shovel with deci-sc can reliably hit 1k dps, if can hit 1.2-1.5k if you double down on talents for it (rending and onslaught) or use voc for longer stagger, and it can hit 1.8-1.9k dps if you do both. this is without a carapace perk
for comparison, standard blessing taxe light spam with no cara perk does about 1.1-1.2k depending on crits, and ds4 with newcanny/shred and with a cara perk does 2-2.2k dps.
not meaning to come back and be rude by bringing it up again, but just rather show the actual effects in practice of the changes and how that relates to both "good" and "great" cara dps options instead of just pointing at the adms since that doesnt always give a clear picture of how itll play out

You know that image of the kid having fun

im just trying to get out of heresy difficulity...this is becoming really difficult

#

ive only beaten 1 so far...this is not easy

drowsy perch
#

what level is your character?

honest pendant
#

27

drowsy perch
#

upgraded weapons and blessings and stuff?

honest pendant
#

yeah

drowsy perch
#

perhaps just a skill issue or team issue

balmy igloo
drowsy perch
#

not as an insult

#

this game takes a good bit of learning

#

im fairly good at most games but darktide was definitely a learner

#

and is still

sly orchid
#

Dont upgrade anything until your lvl 30

drowsy perch
#

also true

#

dont spend any dia on upgrades

honest pendant
#

I think the biggest issue is getting used to the spam of carapace enemies

drowsy perch
#

plasteel is whatever

silver patrol
#

i really don't think heresy has any spam of caparace enemies

sly orchid
honest pendant
#

I read it but there's just a lot

drowsy perch
#

the event of 10 thousand scab ragers and maulers

#

yeah its intentional for the event

#

its just a fuckload of elites

sly orchid
#

Dont play the event if you dont have good gear lol

silver patrol
#

make yourself a favour and stop using quickplay until ite ends

quiet lark
#

ya for newer players this event is gonna not be a fun time </3

honest pendant
#

yeah not the biggest fan of it so far and sadly every quickplay is the event

drowsy perch
#

its fun with very specific builds

honest pendant
balmy igloo
#

Team play and stay near close eyesight of team dodge and block got each other backs and tag any elites enemy u see for them and for yourself and countermeasures and ofcourse ur weapon for ur build

honest pendant
#

i just started playing the game after buying it years ago and tbh...wow

silver patrol
#

just pick a mission

drowsy perch
#

arbie executioner + castigator goes crazy on the event

#

kill entire hordes of maulers in seconds

silver patrol
#

so called team play when heresy players:

#

(they just pushed a burster in your face)

drowsy perch
#

i try to team play but i always just go ahead of the team cause i kill everything in like 10s or less

quiet lark
drowsy perch
#

ive been double pushing and they dont even budge

silver patrol
#

bro, they have been weird for like a year at this point

drowsy perch
#

its just gotten a lot more common

quiet lark
#

every specialist is fucked up in some way rn it feels like

#

it does feel like bugged bursters r more common rn too i agree

drowsy perch
#

like every other round gets a unpushable burster or 2

balmy igloo
#

or sometimes those comes out of a hidden corner and then boom!

#

Those exploding damm things

#

Yeah I understand team play is kinda lacking not sure about psykers they got good utilities

#

Arbiter players are also quite good most i saw in heresy

silver patrol
#

they are not good, it's more like

#

the class has so many safety nets that you really must be sleeping to play it badly

drowsy perch
#

arbie is just very strong

#

like, most classes were fairly hard to start off

#

arbie was a fucking breeze through heresy even at low level

#

its like plot armor class

balmy igloo
silver patrol
#

you don't really get that veteran

#

or well, any other class at the start

balmy igloo
#

I have a ogryn and a veteran both kinda hard start but more melee focused. Will there be more added later or any weapons ?

sly orchid
#

Hopefully

silver patrol
#

if they stop adding modes that nobody wants, maybe

honest pendant
#

omg I beat my 2nd heresy

sly orchid
#

Fatshark wasnt able to make new weapons for existing classes because they were pre occupied with dlc classes

#

Once admech releases hopefully theyll do some easy wins like porting polearm movesets to darktide

drowsy perch
#

when its a good arbie they are hella good though

balmy igloo
#

I forgot expeditions exist lol but never tried havoc yet

drowsy perch
#

since its already strong

balmy igloo
silver patrol
#

you probably thought they were good by the fact they took little damage

quiet lark
balmy igloo
#

The doggo companion seems effectively under the right hand of a arbie

silver patrol
#

you'd think that, but dogless is better

balmy igloo
#

Oh btw i still find it odd why a ogryn cannot counter being grabbed by a dog

balmy igloo
sly orchid
silver patrol
#

(differently better)

balmy igloo
#

Was also looking at the upcoming changes...wel idk maybe the next one will do but some are good

sly orchid
#

You lose the ranged disruptor and enemy stun with electrocuted bites

silver patrol
#

the ranged distruptor who attacks one target each 30 seconds or so

silver patrol
#

how about just shooting the gunners who are melting your face instead

#

i like 3 revive perks

humble comet
#

If I take three skills that reduce damage Ex. Takedown 3 stack + Iron Will + Hunter's Resolve - will I be invincible?

#

It's strange how all this works

desert viper
#

you won't be invincible, but you will be able to facetank a bit

humble comet
#

Ok ty

slow sky
#

So for example 2 sources of 50% dr will result in 75% dr

neon current
#

why you prolly shud never triple stack curio DR

tall torrent
neon current
#

exactly how it works

#

even you dont take 3x gunner DR

#

which is what I was referring to

tall torrent
#

on every class

neon current
#

not according to your guide

#

literally 2x gunner 2x rezz in there

#

the last time I've checked at least

tall torrent
#

just been working on weapon section overhaul

neon current
#

so what made you change your mind

tall torrent
#

+17% toughness (x2), +21% health (x1)
+12% revive (x2)
+5% health (x1)
+5% toughness (x3)
+20% gunner resist (x3)

my actual curio setup for vet, hive scum and arb

#

zealot / psyker: +17% toughness (x2), +21% health (x1)
-4% cooldown (x3)
+5% toughness (x3)
+20% gunner resist (x3)

martyr zealot: +17% toughness (x1), +1 wound (2)
-4% cooldown (x3)
+5% toughness (x3)
+20% gunner resist (x3)

#

ogryn: +17% toughness (x3)
+12% revive (x2)
+5% health (x1)
+5% toughness (x3)
+20% gunner resist (x3)

neon current
#

I understand

#

but what made you change your mind

tall torrent
#

it's not "diminishing returns" vs gunners

neon current
#

you reduce the remaning by 20%

tall torrent
#

u could argue it's diminishing returns when ur getting shot by other things at the same time

neon current
#

but I feel like there is always something better you can grab

tall torrent
neon current
#

I understand how it works

#

just my usual mantra

tall torrent
#

with 1x, u have 125% hp

neon current
#

opportunity cost

tall torrent
#

2x, 156.25% hp

#

3x, somewhere like 195% hp

#

it's a much bigger difference than 5% toughness

neon current
#

for sure

tall torrent
#

and before u say "but 5% toughness works for everything"

neon current
#

I dont care for that shit

tall torrent
#

yea and it does like nothing for everything on its own

neon current
#

I'm the one who runs 21% HP on everyone

tall torrent
#

5% toughness is like 4 toughness in havoc for most classes lmfao

#

toughness is good but a bit overrated

#

it's not as good as hp or x80%DR in a 1-to-1 comparison

neon current
#

the one part everyone seem to always forget

tall torrent
#

but it does matter when u stack a lot of it

neon current
#

extra HP is 1/1 for rezzing

#

"but just dont die"

#

right

#

I'm always full HP after I get rezzed

tall torrent
#

and I get +49%T for every class except ogryn

neon current
#

0% HP will get you under 25% or so

tall torrent
#

ogryn I go for full +66%T

neon current
#

biiig difference

#

I have +31% HP on everyone

tall torrent
#

as for why the other classes I run revive + 5% hp, cuz 2x revive is pretty good

#

and hp just good

neon current
#

it is

#

they are

tall torrent
#

and for zealot u alrdy have a talent that gives 25% revive speed

#

and revive speed is actually diminishing returns

#

I just do cooldown since they fairly dependent on ability for big dmg

#

and psyker is just ass at reviving in general

#

but ya those are my personal curio setups rn

#

prob will change guide to reflect that at some point

#

but weapon section changes take priority atm

neon current
#

I have 2x bomber on zealot because I fuckin hate fire and pox on martyr

#

but its more becaues I'M lazy

#

well, impatient rather

hearty panther
#

ill never give up on block and sprint

neon current
#

I actually have BCR on arbi

#

prolly not the best, but whatever, its an arbi

#

what they gonna do, kill me?

#

while revive speed is undeniably very good, the classes I revive have tools to get it done 90% without

#

BTL, bullrush / taunt

#

stealth zealot

#

shout

#

I feel like its more impactful unledging and unnetting

neon current
#

@tall torrent do you know the interaction between new ogryn passive and other DR sources from tree?

#

is it additative or multi

#

trying to decide whether to hold on to implacable with pickaxes

neon current
#

aight thx

tall torrent
#

and it's x60% afaik, not x50%

neon current
#

okay

tall torrent
#

but x60% is still massive

neon current
#

so I dont really need 15% implecable on top slide charging pickaxes

#

it absolutely is

#

it's so good

#

I'M just used to having implacable on pickaxes slide charging around

#

but I can have 100% uptime on passive the same way, making 15% whatever

#

can prolly find a better place for that point

tall torrent
#

implaceable imo needs to be merged with NSM

#

NSM is the real reason to take it anyway

neon current
#

is it tho

#

never really used NSM

#

if you slide charge, you don't really lose movespeed

tall torrent
#

NSM is a massive improvement to og's mobility

neon current
#

it is very nice QoL

#

but you only heavy spam Karsolas, which I don't really use anymore

#

you can lightspam the other 2 to make space

#

but having the 2 merged would make sense, and would be a very welcome change

#

LOL

#

you seem to be able to store crunch cancelling your heavy

#

look at shit shit

tall torrent
brittle apex
#

Any Helbore enjoyers, what blessings do you like? At a blance brittleness and charge rate blessings seem the most useful. Surgical maybe but waiting between shots for a crit seems only situationally useful.

silver patrol
#

brittleness is very bad i think

hollow ibex
#

after that it's between weight of fire, armorbane and the cleave on weakspot hit blessing

silver patrol
#

also you naturally charge shots meaning the blessing is always up, what do you mean situationally useful

brittle apex
#

Charge doesn't take that long, especially if using weight of fire, so how many surgical stacks would I actually get per shot if firing as fast as possible while fully charging?

hollow ibex
#

20-30% more crit even for quick shots is still a lot

silver patrol
#

enough to go never under 600 ammo while not taking ammo pickups through all the mission

hollow ibex
#

helbore mk v running weight of fire firing at full speed still gives 20% per shot from surgical

brittle apex
#

Cool, tyvm

#

Is mk v the preferred mark? iv has the highest ads damage and both ROF and ammo look the same on inspect

hollow ibex
#

up to you

#

they're all good tbh

neon current
#

is also a game changer

#

if you are as lazy as me

silver patrol
#

this is basically required

#

i really like the mk4

neon current
#

I like the middle one

#

good balance

silver patrol
#

it also has the worst carapace adm

neon current
#

but nearly onetapping rotten crushers with the hard hitting one

#

is satisfying

#

ya

#

which is gonna be less of an issue next patch

silver patrol
#

you'd think the fast one would have less adm

neon current
#

not even considering the fact you don't need weight on fast one

#

so you can just stack even more brittle instead

somber axle
# brittle apex Any Helbore enjoyers, what blessings do you like? At a blance brittleness and ch...

Surgical ALWAYS imo
For the Mk V (fastest speed/lowest damage) Hotshot with Withering Fire because the ranged cleave can help clean up mixed hordes and snipe specials hiding behind meat shields better
For the Mk IV (slowest speed/highest damage) Weight of Fire to alleviate the slow firing speed
For the IIIa (middle speed/middle damage) I've been sold on Falter for the funny stagger breakpoints it hits but tbh I use the IIIa least

#

I have never touched Armourbane

#

I'd say that you could use Weight of Fire on the Mk V too if you wanted to be goofy but it's anti-synergy with Surgical. Less time charging between shots means less Surgical stacks. But with how fast the Mk V fires it becomes an Infantry Lasgun that pens Carapace

somber axle
#

It's basically always worth having

#

Between Vet base crit chance of 10% and Reciprocity giving you +25% crit you'll end up critting most of your shots

#

And since Helbores benefit most from Marksman's Focus you can take Shock Trooper on the way down to it meaning you've got more uptime on shooting and infinite ammo

#

Less time reloading, more time killing

brave acorn
somber axle
#

are you aware of your ADMs on the Helbore

#

look specifically at this section ADMs over range

#

at the bottom

#

for the vast majority of armour types you are getting negligible damage increases, and at best, you're slightly increasing Carapace at your worst range if you're trying to shove the Helbore into the Crusher's face

tall torrent
somber axle
#

Brittleness is not doing anything for you on anything but Crushers

brittle apex
#

gonna do a run w/ mk iv, surgical, weight of fire, flak + carapace

brave acorn
somber axle
#

And between the damage you get from stuff like Marksman's Focus 15 stacks, Executioner's Stance, Skirmisher, etc. you're going to be slamming Crushers in around 3 shots anyway

#

Like genuinely

#

check breakpoints

#

and see if you're actually killing in one less shot with Armourbane

silver patrol
#

i mean, other enemies you usually just instakill with a headshot

somber axle
#

because that's really the only actual benefit you'll ever see with Armourbane, if your talent tree is even letting you get one less shot per Crusher at all

silver patrol
#

i dunno, i think armourbane is stinky in any case

hollow ibex
#

tbh t he only place i'd use armorbane on helbore is mk3

#

and only if i plan on shooting crushers

brittle apex
#

i liked the feel of iiia but wasn't 1-tapping gunners every time

somber axle
#

Yeah it's better on the Mk IIIa because it has worse Cara ADM

brave acorn
#

Yall cant stop me

somber axle
#

but then I also just don't really use the IIIa because I prefer the Mk V

silver patrol
#

i can actually

tall torrent
tall torrent
somber axle
# brave acorn Yall cant stop me

I don't want to stop you. I just want to make sure you're aware of things. I do clown things all the time like Lock n Load + Opening Salvo with Deadshot and Reciprocity on the Recon Mk XIV using Deathspitter and Dum Dum and Withering Fire to have functionally 75% crit chance and funny amounts of cleave into mixed hordes but I'm well aware that Opening Salvo and Lock n Load are both not worth taking and it's purely for the meme and fun. Sometimes I swap over to the Recon Mk XII just to feel a 225 clip size on the same talent tree with 75% crit chance in Auric quickplay purely to goof off. But like it's not optimal and I know it

#

If you are having fun that's what matters shmiles

#

But knowledge is sacred and to be shared

why does it look so weird than

tall torrent
#

because DT has fisheye FOV

neon current
#

yea but 117 is unmodded

tall torrent
#

no

neon current
#

or is that 85

tall torrent
#

slider max is 85

neon current
#

ya

#

I've used to play VT2 at 110

#

why they had to narrow it down so much

tall torrent
#

and u don't need mods to get above 85

neon current
#

you know what I mean

tall torrent
#

I use mods to disable FOV change effects from abilities & sprint

neon current
#

that is a good idea actually

ConstantFov

my modlist is pretty light tbh

neon current

yea I've been trimming mine wherever possible

#

I can't live without disable screen effects tho

#

guesing you can just edit cfg file for FoV?

tall torrent
#

user_settings.config is where u can change VFOV above what the in game slider allows u to

neon current
#

how much FX limiter + less dots improve performance?

#

I might grab those

tall torrent
#

but ConstantFov is required to disable FOV modifying behaviour from abilities and sprint

neon current
#

sick of dipping into 30s on a 9070 XT pre FG

tall torrent
#

I get like 130~140fps in intense horde scenarios with DLSS FG2x active

neon current
#

blight decimates my FPS because of no particle settings ingame

#

it shud help that

tall torrent

and idk how much it'd be without FX limiter and lessDOT

#

frankly I have them just because

neon current
#

well, I'll let you know ๐Ÿ˜„

#

yea I'll give em a few runs

tall torrent

I will say tho

neon current
#

clarity > eyecandy

tall torrent
#

this game unironically runs with better frametime stability on Linux than windows

neon current
#

so I've heard

tall torrent
neon current
#

especially with AMD

tall torrent
#

enemy wounds is kinda whatever in my experience

#

it's just not super noticeable for most weapons

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

it is night and day

#

And I was using a stripped down version of w11

tall torrent
#

even tho it prob doesn't hit the same max fps

#

but frametime stability is far more important to me than fps number go up

thorn lark
#

On DT I hit the same fps but the stability is so much better

tall torrent
#

in meat grinder which is super optimized I get roughly the same as I do on win11 if I go uncapped fps

#

but capped fps gets me better frametime graph

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

and numericUI gets borked pretty often by updates

tall torrent
#

rogue trader ran like ass for me

#

but idk if it's just that game being really badly optimized

neon current
#

at this point, I love UE5

#

I get 200+ ez with UE5.4 most games

silver patrol

how many of those are fake frames

willow prairie

rogue trader have issue with save number i believe

silver patrol

it certainly has some kind of memory leak or something

linux frametime be like

does anyone use that shit to begin with
