hawt
no knives suck
actual knife i use dw, double bleed knives are shit
the new knife specifically has such a stupid block efficiency lol
you can facetank a chaos spawn im pretty sure
im not too sure on the specifics, i just remember seeing a random zealot hold off a chaos spawn for a solid 5 minutes
so im assuming whatever block it does must be better than the old knife
i think most weapons can block a chaos spawn forever except like maybe mk6 psword
fair
power sword? just bad dodges
casue ik after 2 it loses max dodge effectiveness
ah ok nvm then
yeah not sure what cant block spawn then
its kinda funny, you'd think dodge distance wouldn't matter too much but i kept going down constantly for like 6 games on vet running psword after religiously using the chainsword for a while
you grow to appreciate rev it up...
dodge distance is nice
its not needed cause you can still dodge most things even with bad dodges
but its always nice to have
thoughts?
stats and unyielding are good the other stuff is bad
add thrust
yeaaaaaah
but you can make it usable with thrust yeah
thrust is all the rage with hammers
change blessings to thrust slaughterer/headtaker
probably becuase it's hilarious to output 30,000 damage in one swing
where da boss go? lol
unarmoured aint great but with blessings changes a quite good hammer
good for horde clear i spose
doesn't unarmoured apply to plague ogryns? and beasts i think
no
they need to give zealots the 2h mauler chaxe already
what blessings are actually good on the combat axes now? still have an old one with brutal momentum from before the nerf lol
damn limbsplitter thrust is a combo i havent sen on caxe
Except the thammer would've killed the spawn outright there, instead of taking more swings
Yeah but only having a quarter of the TH's sexiness 
and no earthshattering kaboom the hammer gives
but BM is the really important one
didn't it get completely fucked though?
Limbsplitter thrust caxe is not gonna kill hordes very well
oh huh then. time to bring out the ancient rashad then
axe and then maybe the new las pistol
i guess. crit build?
or just martyr for shits and giggles
New laspistol kinda crap for zeqlot
marty or momentum for axe
The new laspistol is a vet weapon for doing that spend stamina for crit while adsing
i really just have been sleeping on the axes for so long then. and i don't even see anyone use them in random games
Node
caxe has been good forever
so people probably got bored of it with new weps
which is why you dont see it as much
speaking of vet, i find it really funny how marksman's focus, a keystone meant for slow and precise playstyles, works better by just spamming an autogun into a crowd
good thing i already grinded my ass off for a decent one, then
literally has just been sitting in my inventory
for ayear
bc i though brutal momentum was ass now
insane
i did. felt weird for the first like 3 games
then i just went back to the eviscerator because by then the skill rework came out
idk this is just a product of ignorance on my end
proly why i never see it in pubs then
ive actually been extremely ejoying the new revolver. in like any build
imagine requiring still to play 🤢
infinitely cooler to fan fire at snipers 150m away than to just ads like a nerd
lol
i mean obviously the gun class does more crit damage with guns than the melee class
It's still generally known that it's a very strong weapon.
didn't they change the run n gun blessing to tighten your spread and give like a close damage boost or something?
supposedly
but i dont think it works properly
My heavy sword
Not bad Guardian
Eehhh.. more like flak, maniac or unarmored
the real question is why 15% maniac
When in doubt, flakiac
I wish had Rampage on it https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a4fa304-0b88-4cf8-827a-d0435327a8c3/zealot-meta-no-stealth
Hit & Run? The dodge on close ranged kill one?
no the blessing on some guns that allows you to hipfire while sprinting
mainly on staves and the new revolver i think
that's run n gun
that’s… what i said, yes
Zealot is my most played class after that comes ogryn. Vet im still in progressof leveling
0.1 spread modifier lol
It's a bit small
esp since the weapons that get it don't really need it
I think like, Kickback on Ogryn gets it?
Might be fun there but they also have other blessings on it
Wait so, is bloodthirsty blessing not there anymore for Heavy Evisercator?
I can't see it
Take a screenshot of it
that is agonizing
this
im working on multiple weapons so im starved on ressouces
Wait what do you even mean by this? I don't think you need 4x Caxe just to roll a single good one.
Bloodthirsty is a T4 blessing iirc
you need 4 of the 5 modifiers it has to be in 75+ range for it to be at it's most effective
Both T3 and T4 say they have 8 since Perfect Strike is only a T3 so it fills the spot.
Ah ok. So many different systems used for that I thought it was just him saying something dumb again.
that's honestly dreadful to think about especially with how much of a pain it already is to get the blessings and perks you want
I wish blessings where account wide i mean we earned once why should we forced to refarm them on each char
it is account wide
Wierd i had a blessing that fits on 2 weapontypes but i could only put it on the weapon type removed it from
Blessings are weapon type specific
So a blessing on revolver is diff from blessing on autogun
yeah, variants share the blessing pool
Kinda? It's not really any different compared to a good chunk of other weapons. High non-dump stats with BM and Deci/Headtaker along with whatever BPs you can hit with perks isn't too bad.
Only psyker staves don't follow those rules, all staves share weapon skins but not blessings
tbh the weapon crafting/progression system could use some work
I think a system similar to div2 where you have multiple ways to improve a weapon
would do dt justice
Understatement of the year
ye but they've done a good job with the rebalances and class rework so far
so i'm not mad
that they prioritized that
It took them many years in Vermintide 2, but in the end they added Red Gear and Crafted Red Gear. I wonder if we can expect Red Gear here after a year or two
Yes it's certainly better than it was
100%
Yes, it's in a very annoying spot. Thousands of ideas have been thrown out so it'll probs get a good look. I'm hopeful since just about every playtester I've seen here has issues with the crafting system.
id like Weapon stat upgrade system where you can remove a bit of one stat and reallocate it to another
can anyone help clarify the main differences between zealot and veteran? Have difficulty differentiating the two
the way that the weapon system in division2 works IMO is much better
it's split into early, mid and late-game progression
zealot shank shank veteran pew pew
so each weapon rolls a bunch of stats, similar to DT weapons
veterans have a stronger emphasis on ranged combat, it's the complete opposite for zealots, which generally focus on melee
so you have weapons with like 90/100, 70/100, etc right
thanks!
so for early game people, your goal is to roll a weapon with as high stats as possible
then, in the midgame, there's this thing called recalibration
Zealot really likes melee weapons, Vet likes ranged weapons. You can have issues splitting the two up since in a vacuum they can accomplish similar things, all classes are mostly just up to preference unless you're min maxing in a premade.
so each weapon has 3 stats, and 1 of them can be recalibrated to the highest roll you've discovered so far
so if you have a 90/100, 60/100, 88/100 weapon, you can recalibrate the 60/100 to 100
and finally for the endgame, you have this system called optimization
where you can give any stat on a weapon +5 for VERY EXPENSIVE costs
Wait, you guys aren't magdumping the poxwalker horde with the voice of Terra talent?
so if you have a 90/100, you can optimize it twice to 95/100 and then 100/100
but it's extremely expensive
and imo it gives a very good system for progression
because the ease in terms of access
and how much grind it is
differs for someone who's new to the game
vs someone who's trying to get their perfect BiS weapon
yesterday wasted 12k plasteel and 1+m gold and didn't get a single wep
classic darktide experience
danktide
farttide
you surely got weapons for that
not necessarily the ones you wanted, but weapons
no
not even a single one to get 2+2
at least 3/4 rank mix
found it
it was for the first time such bad RNG though
not a big deal for me, but then after playing VT2 for so long going back to awful RNG rolls is pretty meh
Is there a channel to squad up ? I dont like being in VC do my hypersentivity having evven more stimuli recks my focus even more
There's some LFG channels but I'm not sure how often people group up there without also forming a VC
What continent are you on?
EU
I believe you'd want this one: https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1042833778931929109
this worth investing in, considering its zealot
Yeah agri brauto is awesome for zealot
anyone got tips or can help me with just a flesh wound penance?
this good? (just want to test the new knife)
oh im doing this build with it
its a meme stealth chainsword
so the bleed stacks help with it
If you swap Bloodletter with Rampage you'll get a very standard Mk XV.
Not quite sure how +Elites scales for the Mk XV but it might hit some BPs.
If you want a bleed Evis for whatever reason, use the Mk II since the H1 isn't target capped.
I get this feeling that Finesse is actually kinda important
oh ok thanks for info
On the knife it's a good chunk of damage.
And a attack speed too.
damn
power cycler for thammer?
say a lvl 4 blessing for an extra charge
1 rather than 2
too much?
That would be dumb
power sword with 3 swings is dumb
I'd swap haymaker
Just doesn't feel as practical as precognition, but if that's your call then fine
it's for different purposes
precog is big dmg boost for single target
Power sword with 17 swings was dumb.
haymaker significantly improves your clear
i don't think you can compare them directly
In my mind trying to force the knife to be a crowd clear thing is just making it worse at single target and only mediocre at crowd clear
Covering weaknesses is cool on generalist or ST/CC leaning weapons but knife is very single target oriented
I haven't tried it yet personally ¯_(ツ)_/¯
but i'm not going to knock it
when i haven't tested it
talking about new cleave knife
theoretically it makes sense
I am aware.
the new knife h1 h2 has decent cleave
procog is much better one single target kinfe
So on the MkIV tac axe, when should you be using heavy attacks?
That knife isn't like, great at crowds either.
its good that they tried, but the fundamental playstyle w/ the knife goes against "crowd control"
so the new knife is just
slightly worse at single target
slightly better at horde management
It's better than the III but not by enough to compete
something something jack of all trades master of none
the fundamental playstyle of knife is "let the rest of my team handle it"
your job is to hit dh
knife zealot's job is to go back to the mourningstar and change
just had a game where a lvl 36 oggryn did that and got insta votekicked
nah knife playstyles get too much bad rep due to bad players with 0 positioning
a knife zealot can literally save the run in a proper context and also is just generally helpful to take down any big target
some people just run off and die in a horde
and throw the game
I mean, any build can save a run in proper context?
its so funny seing the votekick pop up and them insantly vanish
fair but with the uptime on invis its essentially just free revives 24/7
ah yes, another day, another knife debate
had a 26 zealot pop chorus and trigger the dh earlier
lol
im the best there is
I just think running into public games with a build that can't handle hordes is irresponsible at least
is parry with the devil's claw something worth looking into on zealot?
yeah
chastise into headshot parry can one hit crushers on the right build
can they give zealots a greatsword already please. like 2h sword. all i want
it can block crusher overheads
eviscerator does not scratch my 2h sword itch
any recommendation on mark / blessings?
exactly
eviscerator is amazing. but i want a proper steel sword
iv is the best dclaw
heavy sword, though
right but thats still 1h
Mk4, rampage, shred
hand and a half
thank you
yw
just give me a greatsword. ill take a longsword even
I'm not a big expert on Taxe but Heavies and PA's are used for Flak, Unyielding, Maniacs, and Scab Bruisers. Lights will outpace heavies for Carapace. You should probs test it because Taxe is super BP oriented, you might not need heavies as much. Depending on how the PA swings it'll be nice for BM.
mauler axe...
a 2h axe would have big baruk khazad energy
i really want an overheat weapon on zealot
or just anything i can explode myself with really
when doing knife I keep running into explodey things. if that helps.
give zealot a gecko
What's the difference between the 2 handed chainswords
Yeah it's pretty good, 3/4
And yeah left side
And don't forge twbs
Corget
Forget
never forgetty
Vet's has plasma and psword. Zealot has flamer and eviscerator. That's it.
Is I shall not fall worth to be taken in the martyrdom specs? I mean, to have a good amount of wounds you have to forgo thoughness curios
wounds give you toughness damage reduction. so it balances out
Fun fact: Technically evis is a power weapon, because it is equipped with a lower power disruption field generator, which is a weaker version of what’s fitted to other power weapons.
tbh missing health gives you toughness damage reduction
This information use to be provided via the mk2 evis’s description, I really miss the weapon descriptions, they added so much
what mod is this ?
Scoreboard
ty
Mistake can happen. You just deal with it. And the DH disappears after 2 deaths, so not really a PB.
When did they disappear?
That means nothing. He can be a reroll.
When the detailed weapon inspection stuff was added
😦
no i just dont understand the endgame levelling, how can you be lvl36?
is it after your gear levels add up?
True lvl mod
@polar nexus aka this menu
Base 30 + exp gained after that cap
i see i see
😦
does that include games played before you download the mod?
Yes
It made me pretty sad when the descriptions were removed because they added some nice little bits of world building and just cool tidbits
This one was my personal favorite at the time
I remember playing for around 300ish hours before I learned how to mod and at the time I exclusively played Ogryn and my true level at the time was 103, now it’s 246
yeah i kinda miss them
seems like Ines used too much of these new stimms...
If I had to guess it’s the save mission mod
ok so im prob around 100ish
maybe +-5
holy fucking shit
people kept dying
dragged them kicking and crying to the finish line
I think it's a name in the randomized pool
like Villan or Gronk
Hell yea block efficiency
Congrats
i can change the perks and this is gooood
Flak/Carapace is what I prefer on it personally
Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourn.
@next trench Also I have 2 chainaxes that I swap between depending on the mission, I have one like yours for more general use and I have one with headtaker and thrust for melting elites, which can one shot a crusher under the rights conditions
Without chastise
yee that's pretty normal for chaxe
My favorite crusher melting device is a mk4 dueling sword.
@ripe quest Also I’m considering giving the og chainaxe a try, what are the optimal combos for it?
Which chainsword is better? Mk IV or Mk XIIIg?
Depends on preference
I personally prefer the MkIV chainsword
Mainly because I’ve just become so accustomed to it that I’m reluctant to embrace the Mk XIIIg
this catachan
FUCKS
Scoreboard
Thrust/Headtaker/Slaughterer. Same as the Mk XII. I use Flak + Elites but it also likes Unyielding and Carapace. Maniac is ok but you can stun lock them and also kill them really fast with lights already.
I've heard Unarmored is fun on both Chaxe's as well, but I haven't tried it.
Horde combo for it is push attack heavy yeah?
Just heavy spam. PA is now just used for it's CC and in some cases for it's lack of a target cap. Heavies will clear crowds faster.
I’m guessing it’s advised to take the extra attack speed node? Or is that not necessary?
i get tired of ppl venting abt bad teammates on here but seriously, two of us were trapped and had like 10 poxwalkers on us and neither teammate did anything, the third came along and got trapped too, then the last just died, this couldve been avoided if we werent just getting whittled away by tiny enemies. it takes like half a second to help a trapped teammate smh
That's not the worst case, i saw a veteran with 100 ranged damage after phase one and a half of phase two on Twins HM.
And ||5k melee damage||
And he was alive for quite long.
This is something beyond me.
Some people are not good at making correct decisive choices on the spot and it shows
Traps take half a second to clear but somehow a ton of pubs don't remember that and just try to clear the area around first assuming it'll take as long as a revive
Even after picking you up from the trap
The brain controls in mysterious ways
In one sentence convince me to make a zealot character for the first time
Butt
most fun melee combat of all classes
Only viable character everything else sucks
Hmm not very convincing, try again
Local crackhead preaches about divinity and faith while butchering every heretic is sight
Understandable
wth am i supposed to do if im faced with crushers or ragers or a monstrosit or maulers? like do i just take loads of toughness damage then health damage then wish i picked ogryn instead or what?
you kill them
wow thanks didnt think of that
learn to dodge and weave around the maulers and crushers. If you can't melee the ragers, kite and gun them
to be fair, what else can I say lololol 
which weapon
I always focus my guns on whatever can take down ragers better
crusher
special -> knockdown, then smash their heads in
crusher can stagger rager groups, iirc
knockdown?
ye i think the special knocks down ragers and staggers maulers/crushers?
Is Auric just Damnation with guaranteed high intensity?
i can confirm the special can smack bulwarks out of their defensive stance, easy pickings afterwards
there's a hidden modifier on it that spawns more shit
Okay, just checking. Tried it for the first time because Damnation felt too easy, and I got bullied. We won, but it was more due to the Psykers than me
yep i think the standard hardest difficulty is auric hi-int stg
sometimes maelstroms are harder
but it's a mixed bag
My only death did teach me that I cannot be nearly as aggressive on Auric or I get two trappers and eight bombers on my ass
i think auric histgis prob the most fun
It was hi-int stg, and the plague tree scanning map
oh yeah that one is pretty rough
hab dreyko kek
having a strong build and good weapons
helps a lot
Okay guys be honest is there any salvaging this:
My build is pretty decent. Really it was getting net'd out of range of my allies that did me in
Stayed closer to them after that
it actually might be salvageable lol
can you show pen numbers
on chaxe
how tf are there
which number in particular
cara and unyielding ADM
and flak ADM
if you have it
ok so you would need to test this
but I'm pretty sure due to how the rev works
unyielding isn't on any stat
Was that in anyway convincing?
and see if thunderous is applying
Mhm
yeah Thunderous I thought could also go with a bleed/crit Kantrael or a Flamer, at the worst
will test it 1 sec
see how many stacks of Brittle it gives
if rev is able to hit 40% brittle and apply it to the rev
I think that might be pretty sick
check how close you are to crusher and mauler oneshot with it
it's not
only 1 stack
oh too bad lmao
yeah it's fucked then
i thought that since the rev is a multihit
if you could cap the stacks instantly
and have it apply to the rip
nope
hab dreyko got a bit rigged spawns at the end
like zercs waves especially
and they are infinite too, so better scan stuff fast, i remember finishing it a few times and everyone was at 0 ammo
hmm, but what do i do against the twins or assasination targets?
Convince me to make a zealot before I make a psyker with one sentence.
Psyker is game on easy mode.
Hold W.
Butt stuff
A lot of psykers perform very badly because for some reason they just want to spam smite on trash mobs
Would you rather use a big ass Chainsword or use a dinky little saber
guess nobody is getting close to me with this one
Hey does full bore work on the slug special
Yes
that sounds busted
Not really
it would be good if the slug was worth anything
Psyker gives bad arguments so Zealot it is
handy yes. busted no
but it's just a shitty revolver
slug 1 shots gunners?
So does revolver on its own
has more stagger than revolver. can drop the bulwarks shield, can get crushers, maulers and ragers on their butts
it is super handy
maybe i just got a shit revolver then
woopty fucking doo
what are the meta blessings for old Chaxe anyways
shoot 1 thing lol
why are you being so rude
Same for the new one
Thrust slaughterer headtaker
Thrust? Interesting
would've figured not as much on the old one as heavies are for hordes
Thurst in chaxe affects the rev. add a chastice mid rev and you get crazy amounts of damage
Heavy rev can make your crusher troubles go away
I can 1 hit gas phase the twins hard mode with one of those
With momentum and max thrust you don’t even need chastise to one shot a crusher, granted you have cara as one of your perks
well my cursed chaxe still 2-shots them and can 1-shot them with mid-rev chastise
hmm
if slug was the primary firing option, fullbore would be goated
You just have to slug once, then spam click
yeah they might as well delete the primary from agri
and just give it less powerful slugs
its still a shotgun
not really
you a big revolver guy?
Is flakiac needed on everything?
why would I want a shotgun that sucks vs the others that dont suck
It might as well be a slug shotty with its stupid tight spread
There is some exceptions to flaniac
agri just wants to be something it's not
I was waiting for that.
Its more in regards to the rashad mk2 Caxe
Just wanna thank you again for Kantpilling me, it’s been a blast
listen man if your using your lil friend on enough maniacs you feel like you need an extra 25% for em, maybe just date different women
or men
But I’ve also got into the agri and columnas infantry auto guns as well lately
My gun isnt as good as my delusions claim it is therefore it is Illegal for me to enjoy it
Yes the agri iag and braced are good
I absolutely love the agri iag
I'm trying to get something that can kill gunners since every vet I've gone with in pugs has decided that its my job
and my kant is just not cutting it honestly
the columnus IAG is just funny with its fire rate and the fact it's also a brauto
Look, im just trying to figure out if the flak part is for gunners or the ridiculous flak maniacs
Why’s that?
Dive with your face
there are flak trash mobs right?
it's hipfire is very good and more accurate than columnus brauto and it also has like 60 ammo
mine has 72 in the clip laz
flak is the most common armor type
So you’re better off not adsing with it?
both ADS and hipfire work well
so most ppl have 55-57
So the blessings I got on mine are Dum Dum and fire frenzy, are there better combinations?
also has better crit scaling and chaining so crit perk actually works well, or if you have piety
Isn't "close range" like, absurdly close?
nah these are good, or deathspitter or raking fire over fire frenzy
8 meters
i cannot eyeball 8 meters
There are but you one shot most trash mobs. I wanted to know for a combat axe, is if the flak damage is for the gunners or the flak ragers
pretty sure my zealot is crosseyed
it's pretty bad tbh lol
8m is tiny
I would prioritize dumdum, then the 2 perks
and the 2nd blessing last
good for hipfiring elites up close
ye but a lot less impactful than the other 3 stats
every perk is good for something
question is if that something is actually useful
I’ll stick with what I got for now and try for a better one once I climb out of plasteel poverty
What’s funny is it’s because of the twins that I got into the agri
Because my Kant wasn’t really cutting it against the elites
So I tried something else
Colomnus iag is way better than agri brauto
I’m using agri iag
Since you dont have to pray to the rngemperor to hit stuff with its useless braced mode
You shouldn't be bracing it
so, standing in the middle of the meat grinder, agri shotty procs full bore against any mob while ads
without using the special
agri brauto is bonkers
I genuinely can’t understand why
I mean you don't like any guns
Ive tried mine on every build I have and it just feels like a paintball gun
awful ammo econ, terrible damage, blessings that require you to waste ammo on trash to make it passable as a ranged weapon
so whats the best tree path nowadays for zealout, asking for a friend
great ammo econ, amazing damage, good blessings
Yeah it’s spread is very tight
tf you talking about
left gang turn up
I can spam an agri brauto the whole damn game and never run out of ammo
I am convinced my agri must be bugged or something because everyone talks it up constantly despite the weapon being completely useless
i saved this link to so long ago
you are the only one who thinks this
It feels like a paperweight compared to the colomnus iag
everyone else thinks it's insanely strong
It only feels passable after the perk above twbs procs
I wasn't asking about that. I was asking about whether you take glad on melee for the flak maniacs or just for the gunners
Both?
what's a good gun to pair with hs4 and left side traits?
is the answer just always going to be columnus brauto
you mean DS4?
or HS6?
I usually take something with armor pen if I can since HS doens't do great vs carapace in particular
Which used to be bolter but these days is usually the zarona revolver
uh, really anything out of zarona revolver, brautos, IAGs, kant/lawbringer shotty, bolter kinda mid but you can make it work
as long as you are using chastise for ranged downgrade for crushers
it doesn't matter that much
Chainaxe rips so hard got people asking about it. 
they can just install the mod and inspect themselves


I thought it was hype until I tried it and even just learning I was pulling crazy damage numbers
It do be crazy. First game with it just testing the build and pulled 1 mil. 
Can they also install the mod that lets them time travel so they don't have to ask?
Just install time travel mod duh.
what exactly was the change that made chaxe so good
did you use XII or the old one?
I think the attack speed and damage was buffed enough that heavies don't leave you as open to get attacked during anymore and lights aren't locking you in place long enough to be punished
IV. I don't like the new one.
On the old one they changed the light animations to be more vertical so you don't get whiplash every 5 seconds, better dmg, being able to dodge out of rev is nice too
Both can one shot crushers without chastise
With a few buffs going of course
that causes me physical pain
They also happen to fuck up the twins pretty hard so nice timing there
I was happy with hammer balance until they started making everything do what the hammer does but better
I mean hammer is still king of unyielding
the CLAP
sure
Yeah it was the weapon that I beat the twins with on hard
but also so much shit deletes monstrosities now
not much melee besides hammer but
ranged
I wouldn't mind things being scaled back for boss dmg/stagger
at this point make the hammer also delete carapace or something, idk
The old chainaxe light spam against elites is so visceral and cool now.
power creep
i haven't played hammer but it doesn't already do that?? gg
Until they increased the hp
it's incredibly difficult to 1 shot crushers without F
what's the point of 2nd hammer, which has weaker charged attack? even with (recent) buffs i'm not sure what to do with it
Combat axe with bm and columbus infantry autogun.
better crowd control i think
spam special more for cleave
and you don't have to learn to aim it
which axe you think?
Rashad
Rashad or antax your choice.
Try the new knife too if you haven't. It's same same but slightly different.
i do enjoy the new knife
ive just been using a knife for too long i think
time to switch up le build

Give chainaxe a try too. Not as good overall as combat axe but it's very visceral.
Khornate cultist. 
Combat axe is such a boring weapon that I don’t care how good it is, it puts me to sleep
How I feel about most of the meta weapons tbh
Just left click and win. 
I've got my kentrael vet build for that
Mfw fast light attack with 250+ damage and killing 4+ every hit. 
Chainaxe, Evis, Thammer, Crusher are all much more engaging weapons to me
They completely changed it
Yeah it’s pretty damn solid
I'll give it a try tonight then
Now only if they could give the Paul the same treatment 
Last I remember it was just a kinda shit thunderhammer
It's a combo weapon now that wants headshots
It’s also really easy to build one because it only has 4 blessings
Huuuh?
Special is just for occasional stagger
The only blessing that really matters for it is skullcrusher, all the others are impact blessings, with the best of them being hammerblow
Probably one of the top Zealot weapons now
Criminally good at its job
And that's killing everything
Light heavy is basic horde clear, push attack does a ton of finesse dmg, pa light heavy basic combo for crushers and the like
Can control elite packs
Oops all maulers
Least deranged ai director
Fr
4th part of the traitor curse?
I feel like those get spawned more often too if you're moving faster than the map expects you to
Anti-speedrunning measures
it's basically a monk staff now
that you can power up to knock stuff down
(is the design they were going with)
pretty cool
lots of combos as well
If the crusher could have brutal momentum that’d be crazy, but it’s still really damn good without it
Does not need any of that shit
Wait is crusher good now too?
Yes
very good
Paul has brutal momentum and it interacts pretty interestingly with powered heavies, headshot kills with a powered heavy makes all the enemies hit take the full damage of the powered swing
again it doesn’t need it, but it would be fun to make use of on the crusher
Sweet
All weapons with Brutal Momentum do this, FYI.
Now I just have to wait for the Paul buff(in 3 years) 
Is there a weapon or build we all shit on now that crusher is good?
I know, just makes powered swings on the Paul useful other than just stagger
Knife still exists? Achlys, taxe
Are knife revolver zealot teammates still a waste of space then?
Depends
Most of the time?
ye you may shit on smite psykers
i'll allow it
If they're not running ahead and dying to 5 Poxwalkers because they don't know basic melee?
Yeah, waste of space
If opposite, usually you don't worry about Elites
I say that but they always seem to carry my ass when I get paired with them
Sometimes you get the good ones
Most times its newbies bringing their strats to the wrong difficulty
I've had 3 good knife players ever since the game came out
I will say, I played knife revolver on malice with some friends and it was pretty fun
Yeah on Damnation, mileage can vary
You ain't gonna get top kills for hordes and such but good position management and enemy focus goes a long way
So its chain weapons you want for the twins yeah? ATM the only chain weapons i like are the evisc, are they good for them?
Evisc should be fine
If anything the Elites that spawn are deadlier than the Twins
Evis is fine but chainaxe demolishes em
I dont think im gonna wind up doing hard mode cause I dont want to form a premade
just go to vox and say ur mic is broken
Which twin yall usually kill firsy
Ranged
Plasma dude is probably easier to kill
I know Rodin's got annoying bombs but Rinda...
That woman has mad sword skills
Hmm
cuz shes weaker to melee attacks
Oops rip HP
so she goes down faster
Only the shield
^
any good zealot bluids?
And its the ranged guys shield that takes more melee
and then the worker bees do their thing bingo bango
is chorus of spiriutual fortitude just like amust have for a zealot? it feels so strong
and is flamer not good anymore?
not a must
a lot of builds seem to be doing shotgun now but those were awful back when i stopped palying
flamer got mega nerfed a few patches ago
flamer still feels strong idk about nerfs
Flamer has felt less powerful for a couple patches
whats the best build right now? or a good one that uses eviserator?
yes
Maybe I just got bolter bias
I would rank flamer well above bolter
yeah me too lole
heard bolter got crushed recently
Bolter feels more impactful, which is why I call it bias
Flamer has zero feedback on hits, plus you can barely see what you're burning
flamer will kill all the maulers in your screen for 20 ammo
So yeh, numbers wise its better but bolter just feels so much better
is evis good now?
Evisc has always been good
now at least you can clear hordes with it
is that good?
I've pretty much always used it since hitting 30 and I can't see much difference
No evisc sucked before overhaul, now it is solid
it's okay if you dont have anything better
Activate still kills ragers dead
sprint to flak and it's pretty decent
I wouldn't consider this a "slap in the wrist"
best i got, whats so bad about it?
penetration is pretty low and the blessings are what you want but tier 3
it could be way better thats it
just tryin to get something to beat twins, my psyker is getting crushed
well not way better, just a bit
tier of savage doesn't really matter nor does the T3 vs t4 rampage
the biggest issue is unyielding perk I think but it's not a dead perk
isnt rampage a bit more damage?
32% vs 36%
is pretty small
is that a decent roll?
yes
Yet the flamer can still do this despite people still thinking its nerfed beyond redemption v.v
whats the common consensus on the tactical axe in general? 
flamer is still incredibly strong
or is that better?
it was barely nerfed

The short version of it is taxe therefore destroy it cus I'm not paying taxes
this is better
almost all 80s, pretty damn nice
basically has no place because caxe exists
ive been trying chainaxe lately and it feels a bit gross
taxe is fun in my opinion. but very lackluser
is evis/shotgun a good enough build for the twins?
taxe sucks it does nothing well
caxe quite a bit slower though
taxe is good for horde clearing and i seem to be doing decent just smashing bosses with a flurry of swings
or is the attack speed not worth the damage lost
caxes are better at dealing with hordes if you have brutal moment
caxe is better at everything particularly because of BM and the damage for one shots, it's a bit slower but will do way more
caxe is much better at horde
Which caxe we talking about? There are a good few
Rashad
Never got into caxes
rashad or antax
Antax is good too, Rashad is just a straight upgrade
Taxe is better at running around. if you plan to do a lot of that.
yeah rashad does the same damage but actually has finesse
also the new evisc kinda powercreeped the old one i think
decent?
will try Rashad tomorrow then
though i dont really run anything above malice
so all in all might not matter too much
I get it has more horde clear potential but honestly I just gotta chastise once and a horde is dead. Even if I have to go into another horde I just shove once and assuming no ragers are there I can just clear it
ez
uhh
decent but bad perks, might as well replace sprint with flak or maniac
Malnourished. If you hit a bunch of BPs it's ok, best with something like Martyrdom.
I'm talking about the new evis in the later part of the sentence
oh, taxe will work in malice, but we relate everything to damnation
i like spam dodging as i strafe around a boss just chopping away 
its better at both horde clear and elite damage i feel
Old one is better for crowds.
i dunno about that to be fair
thanks, first time using a shotgun, is it for hoard or like elites/bosses?
its faster? i dont really remember
nah, old evis is very solid still
im not saying its bad im saying its worse
blaze away for blessing, second blessing doesn't matter cause overpressure is bugged atm, and for perks elites/flak/unyielding
at least thats what i felt
thank you very much
shotgun can do every role, sniping, hordes, mixed hordes, hipfiring elites
Old Evis and new Evis have been benchmarked so many times now. It's essentially old one clears crowds better, new one can 1 shot more stuff.
guys I have a possible bug report and this shit only happens for my zealot; this is the 3rd day in a row my game has just crashed upon opening melk (it just reset) on my zealot. I have literally no idea why it's doing this and it is getting quite annoying. Also, melk consistently shits on my zealot (yes, lvl 30) but all my other lvl 30 classes are complimented. Why is this?
melk shits on everyone
milkstore crashed the game for like a week now
unless youre a vet
fair enough
since i started playing
The lights on both Eviscerators are target capped, but the H1 on old Evis isn't. With damage increases it surpasses the new one's light spam.
the bug i want fixed is when people get thrown through the floor by chaos spawn
so fucking annoying to lose a teammate i could’ve easily revived
love using slug shotgun for just sniping specials at long range
i never liked shotguns for bosses but they kinda just kill everything
The Kantrael is really good as a generalist, it can soften hordes and elites with the special shot. It even pierces Bulwark shields. Primary does high damage as well.
with chastise you 3 tap crushers
i mean they did join later didnt they
this channel in a nutshell
I mean it's hard to say without a scoreboard
it's possible that person was just sitting in the back being slow and not contributing
Is having only 3 wounds on zealot good or nah
special disablers and ranged elite kills should matter a bit more than damage
It's implied that it's a relic cdr build of some kind so I'm not entirely surprised they had the lowest damage.
no
you want either 2 wounds or 7 wounds
any other number is bad
holy SHIZ the kantrel shottie knocks the SHIZ outa guys
Toughness TDR can use a mix of Wound and Toughness curios.
seven??? 💀💀
I mean if you are new it’s okay to have one wound extra for the safety net
it's very good
wound builds are very strong
My zealot is lvl 30
i mean, i am happy when resident psyker stuns a massive horde with lightning to allow for easy clears
martyrdom
I’ve also seen the 4 wound (+2 wound from Marty tree) 3 toughness curios build but no clue how good that is compared to 7 wounds
He has 3 wounds and 320 Hp
you don't really require 7 wounds with marty, 5 or 6 is fine too with another curio
Well 30 doesn’t mean much. Just do you go down enough to warrant taking an extra wound
It's just tanky. Fun in a premade that can play off of it. When I do it with randoms I've been settling on 1x Toughness 2x Wounds.
Do you eat shit and go down more than once before a medicae often
im throwing huge ogrryn elites and bosses around
If I'm playing Matyrdom Zealot, is it better to have Max HP perks on my curios or Max Toughness?
No not rlly most missions I go without my toughness being broken
🤔 cuz I just run all wounds but idk if that’s actually better than increasing base toughness
why not both?
as secondary perks you can have both
then sniper or gunner damage
gunner resist is best
snipers do funky shit sometimes
and getting quickscoped at 50hp is pretty dangerous
I'd prefer to choose just one as I like having other perks, but ok.
yeah 2 gunner 1 sniper is what i go
The psyker guide maker insists on taking toughness regen perk and gunners being B tier
there aren't any other perks worth mentioning
wow they really buffed thhem
if anything theyre nerfed iirc
has kantrael been dodging nerfs for months now?
they were all buffed
whats the special fire on the kantrel shoty do?
just fire
Infinite cleave stacks fire
infinite cleave 6 stacks of burn, cleaves bulwarks
it can kill bulwarks at ease
is it a mode shift or a single shot?
but i dont think it does a lot
single
ah
you need to shoot twice to max burn stacks
i was throwing bullworks around liek rag dolls just blasting them lol
for a mixed horde with bulwarks especially just blast 2 or 3 special shots
they will die
maybe 4 depending on how wide the horde is
who was this
