You can't.

olive raven
#

Skissue tbh

daring blaze
#

I literally tested it man...

ripe heron
#

gunners don't trigger dodge triggers.

median steeple
#

happy sanguinala you freaks

opaque island
#

that guy is fuckin dead

polar nexus
ripe heron
#

Coherengy regen stops when an enemy is in one of your melee slots

#

gunners don't go to melee slots.

indigo quartz
#

I know rashad 2 is the preferred one, but this is usable yeah?

#

perks to flakiak

daring blaze
#

This "Coherency" feature is awfully incoherent innit?

polar nexus
opaque island
#

what the fuck do you mean by enemies being in melee slots?

#

you mean like they're close enough to melee

median steeple
#

bombers and snipers maybe?

#

it would make sense since they are ranged only like gunners

coarse birch
#

P sure theres specified melee enemies

#

That shut off regen within 3 meters

#

Iirc

median steeple
#

something like that

polar nexus
coarse birch
#

Gunners dont count, but if your meleeing Gunners theres a fair chance your not in coherency anyway

fleet zealot
#

lol, lmao

#

ok hot take but ruthless is kinda just inferior uncanny

coarse birch
#

That is not a hot take

polar nexus
#

The heavies are slow

fleet zealot
#

uncanny is a continuous buff and way easier to get off (especially cause enemies, even monsters have weak spots behind them)

polar nexus
#

Just keep stamina and move thrust to headtaker4

fleet zealot
#

but I see so many people swearing by ruthless backstab

#

but maybe cause they also go stealth and they think this is dishonored or assassin's creed

polar nexus
#

Stam will help you for your push attacks which are very good on the antax

indigo quartz
median steeple
opaque island
#

what does this mean?

polar nexus
#

Yeah maniacs

indigo quartz
#

much appreciated keet

fleet zealot
daring blaze
ripe heron
#

Basically as you move around the level, the game assigns 'slots' around you that enemies will pathfind to fight you in melee

indigo quartz
#

i'll probably dick around with this antax until I get a good rashad base

fleet zealot
#

and enemy in your melee slot will slide and go to hit you if you have a rnaged weapon out

ripe heron
#

This stops enemies stacking into eachother somewhat

opaque island
ripe heron
#

In darktide there are also ranged slots, which is how shooters get into cover.

opaque island
#

is that so hard to believe

fleet zealot
#

game doesn't tell you anything about specials

#

it's just like "fuck you figure it out yourself"

drifting wolf
#

dog jumpscare

fleet zealot
#

and I didn't realize how bad it is for new players for the genre until i played with friends

sour sierra
opaque island
#

so when yall say slots you mean enemies that are targetting you, now i get it

polar nexus
#

Don't forget the special can stagger a mutie

light holly
opaque island
#

and there are only X amount of slots for enemies to target you at once

light holly
#

Its great that we can learn the game

#

Without getting spoon fed

polar nexus
#

And you don't heavy attack maniacs with a caxe

light holly
ripe heron
#

That's just an aggro animation that would stop you walking into a room and having the whole squad gun you down

fleet zealot
#

"You have to shove the burster or else it will explode on you, running away doesn't stop it

#

"yea but it explodes why would I want to touch it"

light holly
#

Melee enemies can only attack so many of you before they take their turn

opaque island
light holly
#

So there's not 60 people smacking you at once

fleet zealot
#

and that made me ascend to another plane of existance

median steeple
#

there is a difference of the game explaining basic things you kind of need to know and keeping techs and advanced shit hidden

fleet zealot
#

I suddenly understand

opaque island
#

i just hate the feeling of the guy saying "seriously?" to me like im stupid for not understand

#

ing

light holly
#

Like, I thought most of it was straight foreward

#

Maybe besides pushing pox busters at the right time

median steeple
#

the game actually teach new players useful things besides sit in cover

fleet zealot
#

I think the tutorial should include all specialists

wheat sandal
#

What important breakpoints should I hypothetically be hitting with a good Rashad?

ripe heron
#

Long video but the first couple minutes should explain slots.

median steeple
#

what ferret said should be put into the training, that pushing poxbursters should be taught in the training

ripe heron
light holly
#

Which was why it was important to learn to shove

fleet zealot
#

cause like, I have the long long gaming experience that I can just, figure out, ok push bursters in one game

frosty herald
light holly
#

But this only really applied on champion +

frosty herald
#

The longswordloregryn

ripe heron
#

that's wizard fire 1h sword

fleet zealot
#

but it makes 100% sense why someone wouldn't go for a push cause A) why touch thing that explodes? and B) if they fuck up the push timing, they are gonna think that is the wrong way to deal with them

light holly
#

Where there was acfually enough enemies to justify pushing it

light holly
#

They'll see someone do it

drifting wolf
ripe heron
#

Darktide units are really bad at melee compared to vermintide and attack really slowly.

light holly
#

And they'll learn

#

That's how I learnedal

#

Although

#

I came from Vermintide 2

fleet zealot
#

dodging trappers and mutants, pushing/blocking/anything vs dogs lmao

light holly
#

So alot of it just kinda clinkes

fleet zealot
#

yea, you have preexisting knowledge

limpid pike
fleet zealot
#

of the genre

limpid pike
#

i just got this for my zealot

light holly
#

Even left 4 dead

limpid pike
#

this good right?

frosty herald
#

Bursters are ez pz but you have to watch out for teammates

light holly
#

Didn't tell you you could time to push a hunter

fleet zealot
#

l4d you didn't have a dodge button

light holly
#

The game shouldn't be teaching you

frosty herald
#

And double push will always mean you get hit

median steeple
fleet zealot
light holly
#

By spoon feeding you

fleet zealot
#

it was one of the tooltips

opaque island
#

I have no problem with bursters, until a teamate decided they're going to shoot it when its right in front of me

drifting wolf
light holly
#

What in mid air?

#

I won't remeber that

#

Compare all this to vermin tide 2

fleet zealot
#

no, but that is besides the point,

light holly
#

Did the game tutorialize to teach you

fleet zealot
#

all non chargers/bosses were vulnerable to pushes

light holly
#

Thst you can shove an eshan assassin

fleet zealot
#

and you had a little pop up

light holly
#

Or a dog

fleet zealot
#

on teammates to shove the hunter off

light holly
#

In d2

fleet zealot
#

but lmao

#

you don't realize

light holly
#

No but that

#

It just isn't

polar nexus
light holly
#

Its something you should learn

fleet zealot
#

how much preexisting knowledge you are running off of

light holly
#

Ungor archers

opaque island
#

I intuitively understood slots, i mean you can see that enemies take their turns attacking you, i just never heard it called slots before so the terminology was confusing me

light holly
#

They work similar to shooter in d2 actually

sour sierra
#

They pull a spear if u go close

median steeple
sour sierra
#

Literally the gunners are fully ranged in vt2

warm trellis
#

do enemies roller blading after you still count as "in your slot" or is it really as rigid as in they have to be literally in the circle?

polar nexus
#

Oh wait I played vt1 only

median steeple
#

if you want to be pedantic, blightstormers aswell

light holly
#

Anyways

warm trellis
#

thats been a thing I wondered

#

since they do follow noticably much

polar nexus
#

I didn't remember ranged units

sour sierra
#

I wouldnt call ungors ranged units lmao

light holly
#

I think at minimum the game should teach people about shoving pox busters, but if you're a new player you can watch OR interact with the community

sour sierra
#

They have to hit u to be considered that

drifting wolf
light holly
#

I just dont think it needs to be spoon fed

median steeple
#

pretty sure if they are swinging at you they count, so them doing the virtual insanity counts ( I could be wrong )

light holly
#

Everything else is intuitive

opaque island
#

I believe dodging breaks them from your slots meaning they wont roller skate at you and hit you

fleet zealot
#

yes, the rollerbladed enemies are locked onto you, so you have to dodge/block and prevent people from just running away with a ranged weapon

opaque island
#

if im understanding this correctly

fleet zealot
light holly
#

maybe the game should teach you about timing shooters or snipers

ember yew
light holly
#

Yes

#

That's the problem

fleet zealot
#

if you don't need it, skip the tutorial

light holly
#

I want to be able to learn

#

Not get fucking

fleet zealot
#

if you don't want it

light holly
#

Spood fed everything

fleet zealot
#

skip the tutorial

#

let players be spoonfed

light holly
#

It should be light

fleet zealot
#

this could be their first fps or horde shooter

light holly
#

Darktide is not an easy game

fleet zealot
#

nah

light holly
#

Darktide is not easy my friend

drifting wolf
#

ehhh

light holly
#

I mean

fleet zealot
#

make it optional, let anyone learn how to kill heretics

sour sierra
#

Huh

fleet zealot
#

yes it is easy LMAO

light holly
#

If like

#

NO IT ISMT

fleet zealot
#

god damn

median steeple
#

darktide is pretty easy once you know the basics

light holly
#

Vermin tide 2

#

Is easier

sour sierra
#

Compared to vt2 darktide is cakewalk

light holly
#

In comparison

fleet zealot
daring blaze
light holly
#

Like if you want

median steeple
#

nah VT2 is wayy harder

opaque island
#

i think most of us are thinking about the game being easy from the perspective of experienced gamers

ornate bone
#

I HATE INFORMATION I WANT PEOPLE TO BE LOST AND HAVE FRUSTRATING INTERACTIONS IN AURIC DAMNATION DUE TO THINGS THE GAME REFUSED TO EXPLAIN

light holly
#

You can tell someone to play vermintide 2

sour sierra
#

Wtf

light holly
#

Some of the mechanics are easier

opaque island
#

someone who isnt an experienced gamer is going to feel very overwhelmed by a game like darktide

light holly
#

Ah man

sour sierra
#

No they literally arent wtf

ember yew
light holly
#

Like because they made toughness back in v2 easier to get

ember yew
#

you cant get hit on cata

ornate bone
#

The game should spoonfeed important mechanics

light holly
#

Its a little easier

ember yew
#

it hurts

fleet zealot
#

gatekeeping is stupid

light holly
#

On lower difficulties

sour sierra
#

U have a grave period of 1 hit in darktide

opaque island
sour sierra
#

Aslong as your toughness is full

light holly
#

Darktide you can get absolutely blasted by gunners

light holly
opaque island
#

of course its easy for us who have played a ton of games

#

we can intuit

light holly
#

Besides over heads by crushers

sour sierra
#

In vt2 1 slap takes 30 hp in legend

light holly
#

And maulers

#

Yes but we're speaking of

#

New players

daring blaze
#

Honestly, Auric is a fucked up difficulty

light holly
#

I mean ahh shit

sour sierra
#

Yeah lmao

light holly
#

Okay maybe you're right

ember yew
#

imagine if trash mobs on damnation erased all your toughness + 50% HP with one hit

fleet zealot
sour sierra
#

U might not remember your fist legend runs

light holly
#

But I will say darktide is more difficult

ember yew
#

thats VT2 cata

sour sierra
#

But i do

fleet zealot
#

lol, even learning from watching is a learned experience skill

light holly
#

Because I'm ruuusty

daring blaze
#

No individual enemy in Darktide is dangerous enough to the players

opaque island
light holly
#

Like if you want to introduce someone to horde shooters

fleet zealot
#

then let people learn without making them overwhelmed

light holly
#

DRG

#

Left 4 dead

ornate bone
#

Man, I used to fucking suck at basic shit in Tide games

fleet zealot
#

that's why you have tutorials

light holly
#

L4d2

sour sierra
#

Until u learn the timings forr overhead, how to dodge, how to control hordes, headshot enemies, deal with monstera etc

fleet zealot
#

Lmao, I'm not telling a friend who bought darktide to play with me, to buy l4d2 first

#

and play through that

sour sierra
#

Darktides dodging,melee and bosses are so fcking easy

light holly
fleet zealot
#

until they learn enough skills to play darktide

light holly
#

How to dodge over heads

daring blaze
#

The game has to spam the equivalent of a chaos patrol every 5 minutes and force you to fight them to even pose a challenge

ornate bone
#

There are things you learn with practice and things you just need to be told

light holly
#

Darktide doesn't

opaque island
#

trust me, ive watched players struggle with a horde on malice, and i firmly believe this is their first horde shooter, and to them it is overwhelming

light holly
#

Darktide almost assumes you've played other vermintide games

opaque island
#

it looks silly to us

#

but to them its like HOLY SHIT SO MANY ENEMIES AAAAAAH

sour sierra
light holly
#

It does

#

You're right

#

I am a little bias

sour sierra
#

They take soooo long to land

light holly
#

๐Ÿค

#

Tiny bit

#

But thats how I prefer to learn games

fleet zealot
#

a proper tutorial would smooth out the learning curve and get more players

ornate bone
#

Like I can't tell a guy "oh, if you clicky the heady the heady explody" because they can find that out by testing and headshot mechanics being present pretty much everywhere, including real life

light holly
#

Okay far enouugh

fleet zealot
#

if you don't like it or someone doesn't want to use a tutorial and learn via playing, they can

sour sierra
#

Only reason at first i was dying to overheads was cause i thought i could block them

light holly
#

The tutorial might been to be updated

ornate bone
#

But when you present an enemy that rushes the player and jumps at them to explode for massive damage

median steeple
ember yew
#

so there's that

ornate bone
#

Why should the game expect the player to rush the enemy and push it?

#

It's idiotic

median steeple
#

so the director resorts to spam most of the time

ornate bone
#

Getting blown up by the rushing enemy is a clear indication of "kill it before it comes close"

fleet zealot
#

this enemy explodes if you touch it, except if you touch it with a push, welcome to danktide

ornate bone
#

The solution is the complete opposite of what the game's practice teaches

fleet zealot
#

and like, sure you can learn from "watching someone else" but is a new player gonna be watching or are they gonna be preoccupied

daring blaze
fleet zealot
#

darktide is fundementally always gonna be less balanced than vt2

ornate bone
#

Yeah, can you even rely on the magical moment where a poxburster is rushing a player who knows and a player who doesn't is paying attention to that specific event?

daring blaze
#

They really failed to balance the melee and ranged aspects

warm trellis
fleet zealot
#

there is simply way too many variables, even if crafting wasn't a thing.

opaque island
#

yea i thought i could block them too

#

itll just take my whole stam bar right :^)

sour sierra
#

They look blockable

opaque island
#

oh there goes all my health

gilded bridge
#

Anyone know the recommended dump stat for bolter?

fleet zealot
gilded bridge
formal umbra
#

so penance ISN'T broken for me, just really goddamn jank. prob because I use evis.

median steeple
ornate bone
#

To "naturally teach" the player you need:

  • A poxburster to not rush the player
  • A poxburster to rush the other player who knows to push it
  • The player watching it to not be busy with literally anything else
  • The player watching it to actually not be entirely devoid of shit to do because then their logical next step is shooting the burster rushing the other player
daring blaze
#

Mobility is the fake dump stat on Bolter

gilded bridge
fleet zealot
median steeple
#

the bolter is a fake weapon

fleet zealot
#

any lower and you won't instantly open bulwarks

warm trellis
fleet zealot
daring blaze
fleet zealot
#

darktide director uses tactics, i've seen some funny shit

ornate bone
#

And then we get into the dynamics of what actually constitutes "just enough shit to do that the new player won't shoot the burster, but has time to pay attention to the burster being pushed by another player"

fleet zealot
#

like reaper ambush from behind

ornate bone
#

And what contitutes that is sheer fucking bullshit because that's never happening

gilded bridge
median steeple
fleet zealot
#

but there is simply TOO much stuff going on in higher difficulties cause the director is relentless

ornate bone
#

AND IT'S EVEN FUCKING WORSE IF THE NEW PLAYER HAS A WEAPON THAT CAN STAGGER THE POXBURSTER

warm trellis
#

rager spam happens a lot less than you make it sound there lol

sour sierra
#

Only thing that makes games harder in darktide is the fact that there is no special enemy limit imo

ornate bone
#

Because then they will be inclined to shoot it even as it comes close to the teammate to desperately try to push it off

ember yew
#

Best part of VT2 btw

#

the reward

warm trellis
#

god I wish we still had ranald

ornate bone
#

And then you have the other problem

fleet zealot
#

so it just seems the director is throwing the kitchen sink at you, even if it is using tactics

median steeple
#

in regular dam there is some tactics going on but once you it Hi Int the directors brain turns off

ornate bone
#

How can the player correlate the weapon stagger with the push stagger?

fleet zealot
#

on lower difficulties, the director is too neutered to do anything

ornate bone
#

How can the player make the connection that maybe the autopistol pushing the burster can also be done with melee pushing?

#

They can't

#

It's easier to grab them to a corner and say "you can push the burster"

#

The problem got solved in 5 words

fleet zealot
#

cause sometimes you can push

#

and it will still fall close enough to damage you

ornate bone
#

I push like 6 times per second and dodge 7 just to be sure

#

I am not shitting myself

median steeple
#

teaching the basic concept of pushing the burster with the push mechanic should be taught but learning things like thammer pushing it with a light and other weapons doing the same should be left to players discovering it

sour sierra
#

Have ppl forgotten about trial and error btw?

ornate bone
#

Yeah, stuff like weapon combos people can figure out

sour sierra
#

All this talk about guides and tutorials

#

Teach yourself on the field

ornate bone
#

They won't need to be told "if you do a push attack your next attack is different" because they can actually see that exact thing on the screen

fleet zealot
#

you need SOME level of guidance

sour sierra
#

Ok

olive raven
#

Some of the mechanics are so fucking obscure that some will never figure it out ๐Ÿ‘

sour sierra
#

Watch other ppl play while u are dead

fleet zealot
#

you can't take someone who never cooked in their life and expect them to figure out how to bake a cake

sour sierra
#

Thats guidance enough

fleet zealot
#

with no instructions

sour sierra
#

Thats how i learned u cna push bursters

fleet zealot
#

or just have an optional, indepth tutorial?

ornate bone
fleet zealot
#

I learned how to push bursters in my first match but that's cause i'm a video game addict

median steeple
#

the fundamentals should be taught and this game already has so many hidden techs you can learn that putting simple things you NEED to know wont harm anything

sour sierra
#

I just shot them in the head

#

Then i saw a guy pushing them

ornate bone
#

They'll get blown up and not want to get near a poxburster again until someone rips their mind open and penetrates it with enlightenment

#

I think I learned pushing from here

median steeple
#

please dont mind penetrate people in public

fleet zealot
gilded bridge
#

Does stability from 65-80 make a huge difference for bolter if you're good at aiming?

daring blaze
#

Thr elite spam on HISTG wouldn't be so bad if they didn't come in homogenous packs of 5 all the time

fleet zealot
sour sierra
#

So plenty ig

fleet zealot
#

and a new casual, non gamer, is probably gonna alt tab

fleet zealot
#

and go talk to their friends on facebook

#

when dead

#

judging from how many newbies are afk when I rescue them

ornate bone
#

Man, do I fucking alt-tab

#

I just shut my brain off when I have to watch people play

fleet zealot
median steeple
#

I alt tab but thats to find new music

blazing fossil
#

does beacon of purity negate grim corruption damage?

ornate bone
#

Yep

opaque island
#

hiSTG completely changes the flow of the level, so many elites too

ornate bone
#

Or at least most of it, I think I got a corruption perk on my curio

fleet zealot
median steeple
#

we aint ever getting back WPs corruption immunity drinkaniki

fleet zealot
#

flat corruption is changed by grim resistance and corruption resistance

ornate bone
#

Yeah, like, the actual corruption gain from picking it up is just "get fucked"

#

Beacon stops it from turning the match into a time trial tho

fleet zealot
#

i love it when the idiots who picked up grimiores die and i just get all my wounds back

daring blaze
#

I've started going down in difficulty just so I can get some downtime to hear proper character dialogues happening

median steeple
#

I wish grims and scrips gave something

next trench
#

finally someting decent from mission reward

fleet zealot
#

like holy hell, the reward is power crept past to hell, and vet and psyker suck so much to have double grims

#

if they aren't spec'd for it

sour sierra
#

Grims in darktide suck shit, they dont even have a tail

fleet zealot
#

i remember my 1 uncorrupted HP point psyker games while levelling

#

they buffed mission rewards but forgot to buff side books cause lmao

median steeple
#

#givegrimsmoretentacles

opaque island
#

you really should get bigger rewards for getting the books

#

especially grims

fleet zealot
#

you should, they were useful around launch and after cause they gave relatively a substantial reward

#

but they didn't buff them when they massively buffed mission rewards so ZeroTwo_Shrug

olive raven
median steeple
#

give each mission guaranteed grims/scrips (depending on mission) and just make them give guaranteed higher score gear instead of the emperor giving us 430 golds

next trench
#

my favorite gun

fleet zealot
#

move scrips to the uhh

daring blaze
fleet zealot
#

booster/chem slot

#

and have both grim and scrips every map

#

and buff the fuck out of the reward, or have them contribute to big e gift

median steeple
#

I think I got one good thing from emps gift and that was a tier 4 blessing

#

the base score was a 460 gold

#

like why

daring blaze
#

I remember them saying a long while ago that doing higher modifier missions, along with secondary objectives, gives better weapons

fleet zealot
#

i got one good emp's gift from a malice and I was so autopiloted at 2am i deleted it

median steeple
#

despair

fleet zealot
#

it was a 380 mk9 hsword with flak, maniac, and headtaker 4 it was so perfect

#

and i lost it, cause OF COURSE THE FUKCING GIFT IF GOOD WHEN it's 2 am and I should be sleeping

daring blaze
#

karma

median steeple
#

oop I forget the counter argument I hear when I bring this up

#

"This isn't vermintide"

#

sorry guys we cant make the game better by learning lessons

daring blaze
#

In the 40000 years since then, we even forgot how to block while typing

#

anyway time to eat honey ham

hey so thoughts on this?

ornate bone
unique cairn
#

If 51% Mobility has max dodge count then itโ€™s pmuch perfect

north sedge
#

perfect until it gets ruined by hadron

unique cairn
#

brick incoming indeed

opaque island
#

Hadron loves bricking our weapons

misty raven
drifting wolf
#

this is why i like the enginseer more

limpid pike
#

good stats tho right?

drifting wolf
#

yeah

#

unfortunately won't matter if she bricks it

north sedge
#

perfect stats

unique cairn
#

Just waiting here for the 2nd screenshot of it bricked to hell

light holly
#

Maybe a +10 -10 range

limpid pike
#

i was gonna leave it for now

#

i was gonna save more plasteel

unique cairn
#

No you must roll it now

#

I need to know itโ€™s fate

maiden path
#

hadron hopped over her little counter and punched me in the stomach when i asked her to not give me +20 stamina efficiency

#

i threw up everywhere

light holly
#

I would rather more missions before exclusively scab or more exclusively dredge

drifting wolf
#

i pleaded with her to not brick a cool and good evis XV and she threw a servoskull at my head

light holly
#

Also to add onto that I hope they add in a dredge boss

maiden path
#

whens revolver gonna get a nerf

drifting wolf
#

2 months

maiden path
#

or give bolter a buff

drifting wolf
#

2 years

light holly
#

So we can get more of the scab/dredge conflict

north sedge
#

conflict?

maiden path
#

bolter still needs to be able to oneshot specials that arent crusher is all im saying

#

make it do something

light holly
#

Or well

#

Conflict like, having two different antagonists

#

I dunno

maiden path
#

even if the bolter we use are like sister of war ones

light holly
#

I prefer thematically appropriate missions

#

Purely scabs or purely dredges

maiden path
#

shit should still punch holes through anything smaller then a crusher

drifting wolf
#

dregs are just nurgle cultists or other infected civilians, scabs are all from the moebian sixth

light holly
#

Then hearing dredge leaders speak to us

maiden path

handcannon/surgical

#

don't remember what it wants for perks

mossy lodge
#

guys melee weapon and ranged for a zelot to kill bosses

you should gamble hard and replace that surgical with a shit blessing so you have a chance for both t4 surgical and handcannon (joking obv)

Guaranteed? We can talk.

the chance is not why it's bad

it's very low dmg and low radius

Sure but at least it would be fun if it were guaranteed

Rn it's neither good nor fun

#

Which hammerr and what modification should i use

hushed agate
#

Yeah youre usually using flamer to kill trash and stagger bigger enemies for your team

north sedge
#

flamer is very good at killing elites

drifting wolf
#

crucis has better single target damage and ironhelm has better crowd control/horde clear

hushed agate
#

Not in my experience. Feels infinitely easier to smack them upside the head

spare talon
#

I'm of the opinion that Stam regen is good depending on how you play/what you run (me with dclaw and crusher push attacks), but my fucking God
I didn't think people actually ran shit like this

i would like to use flamer elites and hammer for bosses

Or run silly knife

i think flamers should have natural buffs against dregs considering your literally burning away disease

in games with pub players you're probably going to end up the designated gunner clearing guy because a lot of ppl just do not do shit

which is when gunner res becomes more valuable

But when you need to deal with like 12 bruisers around it, suddenly you're looking for a bulwark opening inbetween the time the 12 bruisers aren't trying to murder you

when theres 6+ i sit in my c-word-that-rhymes-with-duck chair and hold them open and slowly deal with them myself while hoping my teammates realize this is an opportune moment to shoot the bad guys

You need to cut everything around it so you can finally fucking adress the actual problem

I asked in general but zealot might know better, did they "fix" or simply fix the tooltip on critical strikes doing more impact and/or stagger than regular strikes

thx bro

but its only one perk

so if i can get a good blessing then it be fine

no dont waste your stuff in it, you can get a better roll on the rotating shop

maybe you get it to salvage it

its nothing spetacular to be wasting melk points in

fleet zealot

#

Mk IV sword feels pretty good imo

fleet zealot

but it is typically shred+ rampage for damage

coarse birch

4 is the most common

Savage sweep/rampage are good blessings

Shred for crit build

ornate bone
coarse birch

Over rampage

fleet zealot

shred is good on dclaw and crit build in general with it, cause it has a massive finesse ratio of 1.75

Damn this tea is hitting harder than a alcoholic dad

Is there a downside to the XV? The move set seems almost too simplistic. And a con to a normal attack horizontal vs the heavy horizontal?

drifting wolf
#

it only damages 4 enemies at a time with the light attacks

#

anything else is staggered but takes no damage

Alternatively play a stealth knife zealot with flamer and do 4d chess aggro manipulation to perform at an average level. At least the drip is sweet.

Why martyrdom over fury? Especially for a crit build?

olive raven

still quartz
#

You get more out of Martyr

olive raven
#

Everythingโ€™s moveset is simple

sinful maple
#

no thinking, just kill

olive raven
#

Also yall its a crit build, you want fury ๐Ÿ’€

still quartz
#

Depends on weapon

#

Fury as in Blazing Piety right?

olive raven
#

Yes

#

If heโ€™s running crit, he wants that so he gets the full potential

#

Itโ€™s that or momentum tbh

#

Martyr is good but it isnโ€™t worth it for crit CDR

still quartz
#

Yeah if using new Evisc with Shred Blessing (and optionally Scourge), you cam spec into the CDR on Crit but run Martyr

shy hull
still quartz
#

You get more out of Martyr, Damage + Atk Speex

shy hull
#

Crit*

still quartz
#

And Toughness Damage Reduction

coarse birch
#

Yeah for crit build id just take piety, slightly weapon dependant

still quartz
#

coarse birch
#

Like it can work without it

still quartz
#

Otherwise Piety

coarse birch
#

But your better off with other builds as kal said

still quartz
#

Basically it's "can my weapon use Shred" xd

olive raven
#

I mean you can do that but tbh Iโ€™d take momentum personally

coarse birch
#

Over piety?

olive raven
#

Thatโ€™s just my opinion tho cuz i fuckin hate martyr

#

I mean

still quartz
#

Martyr's good

coarse birch
#

Well what weapon are we talking about

olive raven
#

If spec to Pietyโ€™s CDR and then take pious + momentum

shy hull
olive raven
still quartz
#

Just some players shouldn't use it if they aren't confident in their fundamentals

olive raven
#

I wonโ€™t deny martyr isnโ€™t good

#

I just dislike it cause itโ€™s too brain dead easy

ashen quartz
#

i feel my brain smoothing out when i play martyr

coarse birch
#

If you run shred you can probably just go momentum ye

#

Momentum helps with mk 15 attack speed too

I mean it's just what it is at that point xd

Seems fun enough, though piety may net you more benefits

Such as higher crit

Which thatโ€™s a matter of swapping like

3 nodes, TDR on crit and i think removing momentum gives you the 2 others youโ€™d want

how many bleedstacks does bloodletter 3 and 4 gives?

sinful maple
#

surgical and handcannon is such an enjoyable combo

misty raven
still quartz
#

Hang on

#

That node next to the Crit CDR

#

I don't think it's that useful xd

misty raven
#

I said it's my brain dead build. Enemies being knocked down when they hit me is useful

still quartz
#

Then again you don't have TWBS either so it might help more than I thought

#

Is it cooldown per enemy or a static CD on yourself whenever you get hit though I wonder?

misty raven
still quartz
#

Ah so it's like an AoE

#

Huh maybe I should think about it more

misty raven
#

AoE is a generous description I think. I just know I can be hit in the back, turn around and see 3 bruisers that were clumped on their ass

can you test in psykanium cause in game it could just be teammates, but idk, weird talent

misty raven
#

It does knock enemies down. And I'm not at my PC with mods. Now do I know if it knocks certain enemies down? Idk details. I do know it will prevent a dog from pinning you

You'll go to 3rd person, but the dog is immediately knocked off

food so spicy you can smell the spicy outside of the bag outside of the styrofoam to go box

that's how you know it's gonna be good

probably keep combat ability, or keep money for ordo farming

but the ability regen is objectively better i think

chastise if you don't use the melee swing gives ranged armor penetration for the duration of the buff, it's just super flexible and in a cdr build, a constant boost to attack speed as well

all of zealot's ults are good.

surge staff with 5% crit take it and shove IT UP

#

god damn it he was doing so good too

#

back down to 5/10, -1 point for suggesting crit chance perk on a few specific non crit reliant blessing

#

elites, flak, carapace, and unyielding all better than 5% crit on surge

zinc talon
#

just go whallop a t5 crusher or whatever your goal is in the grinder

#

without anything

#

see how short you come up on your 1 or 2 or whatever combo

misty raven
zinc talon
#

that can help determine if you go elite or carapace for example

mossy lodge
zinc talon
#

if you're already that close without carapace, some of the % is wasted so to speak

#

so elites spreads it out more

fleet zealot
#

also, remember, 25%/10% damage perks you have active apply to soulblaze

zinc talon
#

can figure all this out just shitkicking one in the grinder

fleet zealot
#

so... crit chance is wasted

misty raven

you basically only go crit chance for blazing trauma or surge (blessing, not staff)
