no knives suck

vapid olive
#

BLEED BUILDS FER LYFE

#

DONT LET THEM HATE

open echo
#

uncanny stike

#

where?

olive raven
#

actual knife i use dw, double bleed knives are shit

olive raven
#

they can be quite strong

steep hollow
#

the new knife specifically has such a stupid block efficiency lol

#

you can facetank a chaos spawn im pretty sure

minor sage
#

oh

#

does it have a free block eff slapped into the wepaon

steep hollow
#

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

olive raven
#

uh

#

thats just

#

proper stamina management

#

it doesnt have added block efficiency

coarse birch
#

i think most weapons can block a chaos spawn forever except like maybe mk6 psword

coarse birch
#

i thought it had bad block eff

#

or is it just the bad dodges it has

steep hollow
#

power sword? just bad dodges

coarse birch
#

casue ik after 2 it loses max dodge effectiveness

#

ah ok nvm then

#

yeah not sure what cant block spawn then

steep hollow
#

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...

coarse birch
#

dodge distance is nice

#

its not needed cause you can still dodge most things even with bad dodges

#

but its always nice to have

faint thistle
#

thoughts?

coarse birch
#

stats and unyielding are good the other stuff is bad

steep hollow
faint thistle
#

yeaaaaaah

coarse birch
#

but you can make it usable with thrust yeah

steep hollow
#

thrust is all the rage with hammers

north sedge
steep hollow
#

probably becuase it's hilarious to output 30,000 damage in one swing

faint thistle
#

where da boss go? lol

north sedge
#

unarmoured aint great but with blessings changes a quite good hammer

coarse birch
#

unarmored at least does something yeah

#

even if its not a ton

faint thistle
#

good for horde clear i spose

steep hollow
#

doesn't unarmoured apply to plague ogryns? and beasts i think

north sedge
#

no

coarse birch
#

caxe is a fair and balanced weapon 🙂

#

no

#

monstrosities are unyielding

steep hollow
#

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

coarse birch
#

damn limbsplitter thrust is a combo i havent sen on caxe

left iron
#

Except the thammer would've killed the spawn outright there, instead of taking more swings

torn stream
#

Yeah but only having a quarter of the TH's sexiness pensivecowboy

coarse birch
#

BM/Headtaker

#

i also like decimator

faint thistle
#

and no earthshattering kaboom the hammer gives

coarse birch
#

but BM is the really important one

steep hollow
#

didn't it get completely fucked though?

subtle cedar
#

Limbsplitter thrust caxe is not gonna kill hordes very well

steep hollow
#

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

subtle cedar
#

New laspistol kinda crap for zeqlot

north sedge
#

marty or momentum for axe

steep hollow
#

prolly momentum then. i love going fast personally

#

wtf lmao

subtle cedar
#

The new laspistol is a vet weapon for doing that spend stamina for crit while adsing

steep hollow
#

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

subtle cedar
#

Node

coarse birch
#

caxe has been good forever

#

so people probably got bored of it with new weps

#

which is why you dont see it as much

steep hollow
#

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

minor sage
#

why would you think that

#

without testing it

#

lol

steep hollow
#

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

minor sage
#

imagine requiring still to play 🤢

steep hollow
#

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

ripe quest
#

It's still generally known that it's a very strong weapon.

minor sage
#

deadshot is also much more consistent than fury

#

for when you need the crit up

steep hollow
#

didn't they change the run n gun blessing to tighten your spread and give like a close damage boost or something?

minor sage
#

supposedly

steep hollow
#

i definitely noticed the spread difference

#

idk about the damage though

minor sage
#

but i dont think it works properly

spark raven
#

My heavy sword

stray cedar
#

Not bad Guardian

sharp zodiac
#

Yeah

#

Why unyeilding tho

steep hollow
#

never hurts

#

if in doubt, flak or unyielding

warped dragon
#

Eehhh.. more like flak, maniac or unarmored

steep hollow
#

the real question is why 15% maniac

warped dragon
#

I only take unyielding on weapons with notable boss dmg

#

He's outta plasteel

left iron
#

When in doubt, flakiac

spark raven
ripe quest
steep hollow
#

no the blessing on some guns that allows you to hipfire while sprinting

#

mainly on staves and the new revolver i think

north sedge
#

that's run n gun

steep hollow
#

that’s… what i said, yes

ripe quest
spark raven
#

Zealot is my most played class after that comes ogryn. Vet im still in progressof leveling

steep hollow
#

0.1 spread modifier lol

ripe quest
#

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

silver rapids
#

Wait so, is bloodthirsty blessing not there anymore for Heavy Evisercator?

#

I can't see it

ripe quest
#

Take a screenshot of it

drifting wolf
#

that is agonizing

dusk hawk
spark raven
silver rapids
#

Or is that not a thing for Zealots?

ripe quest
#

Wait what do you even mean by this? I don't think you need 4x Caxe just to roll a single good one.

ripe quest
silver rapids
#

Ooooooooh

#

That makes sense then

drifting wolf
ripe quest
#

Both T3 and T4 say they have 8 since Perfect Strike is only a T3 so it fills the spot.

ripe quest
drifting wolf
#

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

spark raven
#

I wish blessings where account wide i mean we earned once why should we forced to refarm them on each char

minor sage
#

it is account wide

spark raven
#

Wierd i had a blessing that fits on 2 weapontypes but i could only put it on the weapon type removed it from

minor sage
#

Blessings are weapon type specific

#

So a blessing on revolver is diff from blessing on autogun

drifting wolf
#

yeah, variants share the blessing pool

ripe quest
violet hornet
#

Only psyker staves don't follow those rules, all staves share weapon skins but not blessings

minor sage
#

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

violet hornet
minor sage
#

so i'm not mad

#

that they prioritized that

ember yew
violet hornet
ripe quest
#

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.

spark raven
#

id like Weapon stat upgrade system where you can remove a bit of one stat and reallocate it to another

fickle atlas
#

can anyone help clarify the main differences between zealot and veteran? Have difficulty differentiating the two

minor sage
#

the way that the weapon system in division2 works IMO is much better

#

it's split into early, mid and late-game progression

vapid olive
#

zealot shank shank veteran pew pew

minor sage
#

so each weapon rolls a bunch of stats, similar to DT weapons

drifting wolf
minor sage
#

so you have weapons with like 90/100, 70/100, etc right

minor sage
#

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

ripe quest
minor sage
#

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

minor sage
#

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

ember yew

classic darktide experience

minor sage

#

not necessarily the ones you wanted, but weapons

ember yew
#

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

spark raven
#

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

violet hornet
#

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?

anyone got tips or can help me with just a flesh wound penance?

open echo
#

this good? (just want to test the new knife)

limpid pike
#

hey is this good?

strong current
#

Tho why blood letter

limpid pike
#

oh im doing this build with it

#

its a meme stealth chainsword

#

so the bleed stacks help with it

minor sage
#

Chain weapons and stealth

limpid pike
#

its all about the memes

#

tho is the evi i have even good?

faint mountain
#

Evis/Shotgun

ripe quest
# limpid pike

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.

faint mountain
#

I get this feeling that Finesse is actually kinda important

limpid pike
ripe quest
#

And a attack speed too.

faint mountain
#

damn

brazen umbra
#

power cycler for thammer?

#

say a lvl 4 blessing for an extra charge

#

1 rather than 2

#

too much?

north sedge
#

That would be dumb

brazen umbra
#

power sword with 3 swings is dumb

sharp zodiac
open echo
#

its silly on cleave kinfe

sharp zodiac
#

Just doesn't feel as practical as precognition, but if that's your call then fine

minor sage
#

precog is big dmg boost for single target

dense field
minor sage
#

haymaker significantly improves your clear

#

i don't think you can compare them directly

ripe quest
#

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

minor sage
#

I haven't tried it yet personally ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

but i'm not going to knock it

#

when i haven't tested it

minor sage
#

theoretically it makes sense

ripe quest
minor sage
#

the new knife h1 h2 has decent cleave

open echo
#

procog is much better one single target kinfe

oak yacht
#

So on the MkIV tac axe, when should you be using heavy attacks?

ripe quest
#

That knife isn't like, great at crowds either.

steep hollow
#

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

ripe quest
#

It's better than the III but not by enough to compete

steep hollow
#

something something jack of all trades master of none

uncut scaffold
#

the fundamental playstyle of knife is "let the rest of my team handle it"

steep hollow
#

yeah

#

your job is to go assassinate the big enemies

serene fable
#

your job is to hit dh

minor sage
#

idk once i get a haymaker4 I'll try it out lol

#

i'll make my judgment then

uncut scaffold
#

knife zealot's job is to go back to the mourningstar and change

open echo
steep hollow
#

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

uncut scaffold
#

I mean, any build can save a run in proper context?

open echo
steep hollow
#

fair but with the uptime on invis its essentially just free revives 24/7

hardy surge
#

ah yes, another day, another knife debate

uncut scaffold
#

had a 26 zealot pop chorus and trigger the dh earlier

serene fable
#

#

its funny

quartz tartan
#

im the best there is

uncut scaffold
#

I just think running into public games with a build that can't handle hordes is irresponsible at least

hardy surge
#

is parry with the devil's claw something worth looking into on zealot?

steep hollow
#

it can block like. pretty much anything

#

so. yes

serene fable
#

chastise into headshot parry can one hit crushers on the right build

steep hollow
#

can they give zealots a greatsword already please. like 2h sword. all i want

open echo

eviscerator does not scratch my 2h sword itch

any recommendation on mark / blessings?

eviscerator is amazing. but i want a proper steel sword

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.

#

@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

ripe quest
#

yee that's pretty normal for chaxe

untold carbon
#

Yeah

#

It always feels good to be able to melt crushers without chastise

forest dew

My favorite crusher melting device is a mk4 dueling sword.

untold carbon
#

@ripe quest Also I’m considering giving the og chainaxe a try, what are the optimal combos for it?

woeful pecan
#

Which chainsword is better? Mk IV or Mk XIIIg?

untold carbon
#

Depends on preference

next trench
#

yeah just like new chainsword

#

the new one is easier to cleave though

untold carbon
#

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

faint mountain
ripe quest
#

I've heard Unarmored is fun on both Chaxe's as well, but I haven't tried it.

untold carbon
#

Horde combo for it is push attack heavy yeah?

ripe quest
#

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.

untold carbon
#

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

This is something beyond me.

zealot has pretty good tools to kill em

tips on killing those enemies

minor sage
#

which weapon

hardy surge
#

I always focus my guns on whatever can take down ragers better

jagged aspen
#

crusher

minor sage
#

special -> knockdown, then smash their heads in

drifting wolf
#

crusher can stagger rager groups, iirc

jagged aspen
minor sage
#

ye i think the special knocks down ragers and staggers maulers/crushers?

woeful pecan
#

Is Auric just Damnation with guaranteed high intensity?

drifting wolf

i can confirm the special can smack bulwarks out of their defensive stance, easy pickings afterwards

thunderous works with the rev

#

so test it in the grinder

against a crusher

and see if thunderous is applying

dusty junco

#

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

minor sage
#

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

stray cedar
#

okay 275 on 2nd light attack
275 after rev

#

so nah 1 stack each

fading vale

only 1 stack

minor sage

oh too bad lmao

yeah it's fucked then

if you could cap the stacks instantly

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

good for hipfiring elites up close

every perk is good for something

question is if that something is actually useful

untold carbon
#

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

agri brauto is bonkers

agile pivot

I genuinely can’t understand why

fading vale
#

I mean you don't like any guns

agile pivot

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

you are the only one who thinks this

Both?

#

what's a good gun to pair with hs4 and left side traits?

is the answer just always going to be columnus brauto

fading vale

you mean DS4?

violet hornet

or HS6?

uncut scaffold
#

sorry sorry

#

lol, too long playing psyker

#

yeah hs6

violet hornet
#

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

fading vale
#

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

They also happen to fuck up the twins pretty hard so nice timing there

with multiple things to learn

Try the new knife too if you haven't. It's same same but slightly different.

violet dragon
#

i do enjoy the new knife

#

ive just been using a knife for too long i think

Give chainaxe a try too. Not as good overall as combat axe but it's very visceral.

They completely changed it

I'll give it a try tonight then

Last I remember it was just a kinda shit thunderhammer

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

If opposite, usually you don't worry about Elites

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?

whats the best build right now? or a good one that uses eviserator?

I would rank flamer well above bolter

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

So yeh, numbers wise its better but bolter just feels so much better

amber sluice

is evis good now?

molten isle

its definitely better than before

Evisc has always been good

molten isle

i still dont like it

not always

it used to deal no damage before class reworks

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

tier of savage doesn't really matter nor does the T3 vs t4 rampage

isnt rampage a bit more damage?

32% vs 36%

ive been trying chainaxe lately and it feels a bit gross

taxe is fun in my opinion. but very lackluser

amber sluice
#

is evis/shotgun a good enough build for the twins?

molten isle
#

taxe sucks it does nothing well

tulip jasper
#

or is the attack speed not worth the damage lost

molten isle
#

caxes are better at dealing with hordes if you have brutal moment

fading vale
#

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

north sedge
#

caxe is much better at horde

molten isle
#

and their single target damage is still better

#

by far

native cargo
#

Which caxe we talking about? There are a good few

fading vale
#

Rashad

native cargo
#

Never got into caxes

molten isle
#

rashad or antax

Antax is good too, Rashad is just a straight upgrade

hardy surge

Taxe is better at running around. if you plan to do a lot of that.

molten isle

yeah rashad does the same damage but actually has finesse

native cargo
molten isle

also the new evisc kinda powercreeped the old one i think
