[shy river]

I do phasmophobia VR sometimes when I want to shit my pants

[cerulean pike]

eh after the first few times of phasmo vr it doesn't really scare too much anymore
but it's good atmospheric horror

[copper hawk]

I feel like it'd make me piss myself

[fading vale]

he sleep

[cerulean pike]

then there's the VR Games that are
unmentionable

[copper hawk]

Slepb

The eeper

There's an Adepta Sororitas VR game

It looks pretty neat

[cerulean pike]

there's a few games that also are a hazard to any fragile device in your room
like the before mentioned vrchat, blade and sorcery
rumble which is the earthbending fighting game

[copper hawk]

[fading vale]

wdym vrchat is a very wholesome safe space

[north sedge]

i can tell who is a furry on my steam friendslist by who's in vrchat all the time

[cerulean pike]

it is
very easy to break shit in your room while in vr

luckily I haven't done so yet
except like break one controller

but i know a few people that have hit plates and glasses off their table

rp funny sometimes

[royal vortex]

lmao

[median steeple]

Gorn being the bane of walls in my room]

[fading vale]

sounds like a skill issue tbh, like why would you not be in a big enough area

[cerulean pike]

see laz
that's the thing

you think you're in a big enough area

and then you punch a wall

[ember yew]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-ugandan-knuckles-do-you-know-da-wae-do-you-know-the-way-memes-gif-24177164

[fading vale]

ok then why would fragile shit be near the big enough space

[sharp zodiac]

That meme made me want to kms back in 2018, jokingly

[light holly]

Include weebs too

[cerulean pike]

because you do other things in the big enough space

[royal vortex]

the optimal place to use a vr headset is in ur kitchen

[light holly]

😌

[north sedge]

i dunno i think it would be pretty funny to setup a vr headset in a china shop

[light holly]

Either you're a weeb or a furry

[cerulean pike]

the optimal place to use a vr headset is in a dance studio (unironically)

[light holly]

With full ankle, hip and wrist tracking

The real vr experience

[sharp zodiac]

No, on the roof

[north sedge]

the only time i've used vr was at art shows

[coarse birch]

Ive gotten good at just not moving my legs when playing vr

[median steeple]

VR is very fun but man having glasses makes playing VR a pain in the ass

[royal vortex]

i lost my vr headset like 6 months ago and it just will not be found

[coarse birch]

Cause I dont have proper room

[cerulean pike]

it's weird after using VR for almost 3 years now, going into an american arcade and being able to go
"that's a vive headset on that machine"

[fading vale]

how

[lean lark]

the holes in the wall got fixed

it's gonna take a couple more wipes in maelstorms for him to find it

[cerulean pike]

oh yeah i almost forgot tabletop sim was possible in vr too

[coarse birch]

Average josho reaction

[royal vortex]

im fkin stupid and live in a big house

[light holly]

This is reminding me of fillian

Who does flips in her vr set

[cerulean pike]

aw yeah baybee

[fading vale]

huh, I pictured you as more forever alone living in a small apartment

[light holly]

and broke many a steam index headset

[royal vortex]

no dude i still live with my parents lol

[copper hawk]

Throwbacj

Does forever alone living in a barrack room count

[delicate needle]

merry sanguinala

[royal vortex]

🙏

[copper hawk]

It's like an apartment but ur landlord is the soulless and arbitrary hand of a kafkaesque lobotomized bureaucratic apparatus

[fading vale]

terrifying barrage and hit and run incoming

[delicate needle]

the emperor protects

[coarse birch]

🫡

[fading vale]

oh god that's so bad

[copper hawk]

Boo womp

Coal for crimas

[royal vortex]

f

t4 stripped down for stickerbook

[coarse birch]

That thing got violated

[olive raven]

Lord I haven’t seen a weapon that violated in a hot minute

[delicate needle]

im fine with stripped down

replace speedload and get flak or smth instead of reload speed

she'll be alright

[dense field]

Reload speed is not terrible...

[north sedge]

🤔

[royal vortex]

i would take speedload actually

unless u HATE twbs

[dense field]

Speedload has to go though

[royal vortex]

stripped down is awful on zealot when swift certainty and twbs exists

[vocal pulsar]

i HATE twbs because not getting staggered is very immersion breaking

[coarse birch]

True

[royal vortex]

speedload somewhat increases the speed at which u magdump

[fading vale]

snoot

[royal vortex]

inspirational

[coarse birch]

Irl i get staggered from melee

[royal vortex]

pog

[delicate needle]

nah irl im like stone

unstaggerable

[royal vortex]

gigachad

[delicate needle]

lol

[naive star]

Pretty nice RNG without any rerolls yet

[royal vortex]

hell yeah

[delicate needle]

very nice actually

[sharp zodiac]

Just put infested and unyeilding and you're good

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-impressive-very-nice-coping-patrick-bateman-gif-26518058

[coarse birch]

I was about to say something

Then i saw who posted it

[fading vale]

I should log in at some point and spend the rest of my ordos on more hammers

[coarse birch]

Oh boy one of the worst weapons to roll

[royal vortex]

become a crusher main

[coarse birch]

I dont think lazorr would like crusher

Given is hatred of mindless weapons

[north sedge]

The hammer lust is never satisfied

Crusher isn't mindless

[rustic lagoon]

Actual tripods for legs.

[coarse birch]

Well

[naive star]

I guess nobrainer change is specialists to +25% maniacs in that sword

[coarse birch]

Depends on lazorrs definition of mindless

[north sedge]

It's certainly easier than hammer, but it's not mindless

[fading vale]

crusher is the only other weapon I would consider using

[sharp zodiac]

Yeah

[patent patrol]

Is it weird that idk how to feel about having 2 or more psykers on the team compared to all other classes? Like, on one hand, if the psykers are decent they can put in work. On the other, they break like a twig if they get tapped once usually lol

[fading vale]

a good psyker is one of the strongest things in the game

but it's harder to be a really good psyker I suppose

[patent patrol]

but a bad one is a paperweight

[coarse birch]

Yeah psyker is pretty crazy

[patent patrol]

lol

[coarse birch]

Eh

Maybe its just the time ive put into them

[frosty herald]

People are cautious with psyker cause its built like a tissue

[coarse birch]

But if your just confident in melee the health isnt a huge issue and they do not have hard to use weapons

And they have like 40 anti gunner options

[fading vale]

thank god for Asian restaurants on Christmas

[delicate needle]

psyker has a pretty high skill ceiling

[ornate bone]

Me using a crit columnus with empathic evasion to just hold W and LMB on 9 gunners

[naive star]

I felt like sidekick in previous match with 2 good psykers, just kept melees off from them

[delicate needle]

but yeah, they're useless if the player does NOT know how to psyker

[coarse birch]

Like i find missions the easiest when i play psyker

[royal vortex]

psyker requires better fundamentals because most loadouts don't have good "oh shit" tools so you have to stay on top of stuff better

[coarse birch]

But i am a psyker main so idk

[fading vale]

a good psyker will just hold W and melee through the map

[ornate bone]

Psyker is the clutch class

[fading vale]

and use staff as support

[royal vortex]

so long as u dont fold under pressure and don't make AWFUL positioning mistakes (you can recover from some pretty stupid shit) u can wreck shit

[coarse birch]

My illisi surge build is literally just built around doing this

[delicate needle]

same, but im playing other classes to get the 100% penances

i just need to grind out missions

[royal vortex]

full right side psyker with an iag/laspistol and ds4 is probs some of the highest dps in the game

[sharp zodiac]

If you have me as a psyker on the team we're getting through everything because I am pro french god with psyko‼️

[naive star]

Time to go test IX swords vs VI how the moveset differs

[lean lark]

psychers are french

idk why i said psycher but it slike frencher

[frosty herald]

Gunpsyker is a disgusting build

[naive star]

Light attack stat being higher already looks promising

And no 2 stagger moves

[lean lark]

mk6 is the best hsword

[ornate bone]

You get an uncanny illisi with fire shriek, charges and some toughness talents and you fuck most of the game and outlast 10 times over what you don't fuck

[delicate needle]

sorryt, but best psyker is the schizo beloved one

french psyker is 2nd best

[frosty herald]

Illissi can get uncanny?

[delicate needle]

yeah

[lean lark]

yes

[sharp zodiac]

Yes

[harsh kindle]

Sure, Savant is all about protocol but let me tell you, the "THE DOG HAS BEEN NEUTRALIZED" is worth

[lean lark]

so can deimos

[vocal pulsar]

yes

[lean lark]

and obscurus

[naive star]

Care to elaborate, heard mk9 deals more damage as all light attacks are pure dmg, while mk6 has 2 stagger moves

[royal vortex]

shriek spam relies too much on ppl not playing the game for my liking

[lean lark]

but nobody uses obscurus

[vocal pulsar]

all force swords share blessings

[frosty herald]

Hmmmm

[royal vortex]

not great in premades w/o idiots who have no target prio

[ornate bone]

Scrier's gaze IAGs are fucking ridiculous too

[sharp zodiac]

I like using BB or Crit assail

[frosty herald]

Maybe i should rebuild my psyker

[sharp zodiac]

My staves are either the trauma or voidstrike

[ornate bone]

DS4 assail is a great combo

[sharp zodiac]

Smite bores the shit out of me

[lean lark]

here @naive star

[royal vortex]

smite is awful design

[ornate bone]

DS4 assail revolver is the other carry god build

[coarse birch]

Smite blows

[sharp zodiac]

Wouldn't hurt to try it

[coarse birch]

Its like kinda nice when someone else runs it

But even then

[delicate needle]

smite is great as jujsjt a panic "oh shit, we're gonna get wiped"

[sharp zodiac]

The revolver assail not smite again

[ornate bone]

Having a class become effectively immortal in melee by right-clicking is amazing

[royal vortex]

it should be a >75% peril charge-up that shoots a lightning blast out that moves in a straight line and you can do something else

[coarse birch]

Id rather they just kill what they smite

[sharp zodiac]

Because let me tell you this

You zap right? Now what should you do in this situation smite player?

A. Smite again

Or B. Fucking kill them

[harsh kindle]

I do not like Smite but using it to knock an entire group of shooters on their ass to close in is very satisfying.

[coarse birch]

Or they spam the knockdown

And completely throw me off

[sharp zodiac]

Like if it's a mixed horde great thanks

[royal vortex]

my problem is that 99% of smite users are way worse than the game at me but are playing like they have to babysit me from a handful of bruisers

which is honestly kind of insulting

like the only thing you can be doing when smiting 4 shooters and a shotgunner is insulting my intelligence

[ornate bone]

Me missing my headshot stabs on poxwalkers because all 4 of them went to the ground

[sharp zodiac]

But these guys ain't dying any faster smiting them again

[royal vortex]

i know how to kill these enemies

[vocal pulsar]

yeah the smiter will stun a few enemies during the game, then brag at the end saying shit like "smite go brrr"

they th ink they made a big impact, but didnt

[royal vortex]

i remember this dude

4 downs 2 deaths

[vocal pulsar]

yee lmao

[coarse birch]

Everytime

[sharp zodiac]

Pick up those funny shards or blows up brain with mind

[royal vortex]

smite is unironically the opposite of a support ability

[ornate bone]

Smite players are the guys who would design a car with 3 seatbelts and say "see, we didn't crash because of me"

[royal vortex]

because when ppl spam it

you have to babysit them

and clean up the mess they refuse to

[sharp zodiac]

Remember the infinite smite shit

[royal vortex]

it's actual griefing

[frosty herald]

Btw

[ember yew]

smite is that purple lightning CC thingy?

[coarse birch]

Supporting me is killing the prio targets im not currently dealing with

[royal vortex]

i will be a dick to anyone who liked that because it killed my frames

[royal vortex]

yes

[frosty herald]

Surge staff players were the worst

[naive star]

So mk9 is better at trash while mk6 clears ragers faster?

[sharp zodiac]

Fucking same

[royal vortex]

i would let infinite smite psykers get murdered

whenever possible

fucking idiots holding it down on a boss

PLAY THE GAME

[sharp zodiac]

Everytime my frames went to shit I instantly go "one of our psykers is using smite isn't they"

[ornate bone]

I like surge staff, but it's very one-note

[coarse birch]

But game hard /s

[royal vortex]

surge staff is boring and monodimensional

[ember yew]

oh darn i remember my FPS tanking to like 5

[sharp zodiac]

9/10 times I'm right

[ember yew]

before they fixed this

[ornate bone]

The autoaim is too generous

[royal vortex]

i want it to have a full mechanical rework

crab has had some spicy ideas for it

[ornate bone]

You just walk around exploding random shit you can't even see

[sharp zodiac]

Reminds me of a zel who got mad our smite psyker was smiting a fleshbag

Then our vet defended tjem

[olive raven]

Yea but the horde clear difference is nominal while the elite clear difference did significant

[coarse birch]

I actually like surge only cause it feels like less stupid void

[sharp zodiac]

I was just voidstriking the CS and the zel was actually hurting it

[coarse birch]

Power wise

[royal vortex]

i dont like any of the staffs except trauma because they demand being a primary weapon

[sharp zodiac]

It just became a civil war in the chat

[royal vortex]

i want a staff with coruscation lmb where you fire a shotgun blast out

with good swap times

that i can use as a secondary in melee

[naive star]

I see, well good i kept em both instead of using the other for grabbing blessings out of it. Gonna test the IX in action still though

[ornate bone]

I think the worst part is that EP smite encourages psykers to smite hordes

[royal vortex]

my problem with right side psyker is that assail only works well with guns

there needs to be quickswap staffs

[sharp zodiac]

I spent hours getting a voidstrike with surge I'll be damned to not cherish my son

[royal vortex]

where the LMB is the primary incentive to use it

[sharp zodiac]

Who is absolutely not mine

But I still pay child support

[ornate bone]

It kills them by sheer volume of targeting, but no one is thankful about hordes being CCed because they're the least threatening part of the game

[delicate needle]

the mark of a good psyker is deciding not to take EP with smite

[coarse birch]

Honestly i play psyker for the melee anyway

[royal vortex]

YEAH

[delicate needle]

warp charges is too good to pass up

[sharp zodiac]

The dueling sword is fun

[royal vortex]

but my thing is

psyker is focused on weapon-agnostic buffs right

so like in theory the class can do anything

[sharp zodiac]

But I can't help but get British music in my head when I whip it out

[coarse birch]

Which is why i mainly run surge/BB so my melee can do most of the work

[sharp zodiac]

Is this indoctrination?

[royal vortex]

ur allowed to focus on whatever gameplay loop you like

[coarse birch]

Illisi/ds4

[royal vortex]

but there's no good like

melee staffs

trauma has secondary utility as a stupid mistake get out of jail free card

[delicate needle]

traumua

[royal vortex]

but none of them are designed as a good secondary

[ornate bone]

I want a fucking quarterstaff melee

[delicate needle]

only real "melee"staff

[sharp zodiac]

I want a fork

Fork staff

Skewer targets

[ornate bone]

Make me a psychic monk

[sharp zodiac]

Ignite them

[royal vortex]

i want a force halberd

[sharp zodiac]

Throw it back at the enemy, explosion

[royal vortex]

throwing weapons would be cool tool

space tomahawks

assail unfortunately is the most we're probs getting

[naive star]

0 games with psyker, but think i wanna level Ogryn to 30 first instead

[ornate bone]

Staff charge rates make them inherently annoying to use as swap weapons

[delicate needle]

i want a force axe tbh

[royal vortex]

#zealot-class message

[sharp zodiac]

Then that just gives us the two kinds of assail psykers

[olive raven]

Tbh Ogryn is too brain dead that I don’t want to play it

[royal vortex]

give a staff a good lmb

instead of the dogshit ones we have rn

[ornate bone]

I want good LMBs

[coarse birch]

Yeah ik i run like evis and illisi

But ogryn is still too mindless for me

[ornate bone]

Surge getting a hitscan zap would be swell

[frosty herald]

Make surge staff lightning strikes from the air

[ornate bone]

Trauma having an AoE warpball

[coarse birch]

Esp with such limited options on him

[royal vortex]

also staff weapon specials should be alt spells but like

thats probs not happening

[ornate bone]

Voidstrike having idfk

[frosty herald]

Staff special is extremely weird

And the hitbox even weirder

[olive raven]

Literally never use the special

It’s never useful

[royal vortex]

staffs used to have a completely different timing if you wanted to push a burster with weapon special

from EVERY gun in the game

[naive star]

Is the gameplay farming loop basicly doing weeklies on all 4 classes to max out Melk's currency and then check shops on each of em?

[ornate bone]

Staff special should at the bare minimum be a reliable area push

[royal vortex]

it was significantly slower on the windup

[sharp zodiac]

Giant fucking ball of doom

[royal vortex]

i only know this

[sharp zodiac]

Or TWO giant fucking balls of doom

[royal vortex]

cuz i tested it in psykh

and i malded so hard they let this be implemented

[coarse birch]

The only time i use staff special is when the game doesnt respond to me pressing q and trying to charge illisi

[royal vortex]

kinda? melk is 90% terrible

[north sedge]

you almost never get good shit from melk, its more like a "oh finally something ok, i guess i happen to have currency" deal

[naive star]

IV Blessings though

[royal vortex]

ur primary acquisition method for gear is spamming at brunts

and then upgrading the good bases

yeah but most t4 blessings u get are dogshit useless too

[coarse birch]

You get good shit from melk when you need blessings at level 30

Thats it

[royal vortex]

u have to sift through a LOT of awful rolls

it's gonna take u longer than working in the plasteel mines

[sharp zodiac]

Wait, the staff has a special, i completely forgort

[ornate bone]

Bonk

[naive star]

Well, ive lucked out with my heavy swords so far, not being too pessimistic about as i enjoy the grind too

[heady karma]

Every now and then you get something good from the normal armory

[olive raven]

Melk is a “oh shit a T4 good blessing”

[coarse birch]

Also out of curiosity do you think that the more mindless weapons in this game (psowrd/hsword/evis/illisi etc) allow bad players to do well in histg/maelstrom or are they just not that interesting

[naive star]

I got the browser extension installed so i check em out regularily now

[royal vortex]

no they absolutely don't

[olive raven]

no

Bad players are bad players

[royal vortex]

they're not interesting and there's not enough interesting weapons for all of them to be as braindead as they are

[ornate bone]

I think that even spammy weapons still need the player to block and push

[royal vortex]

u have to have something REALLY overtuned to let someone perform at a competent level if they suck

[olive raven]

Does it allow people with bad habits to do better? Probably.

[royal vortex]

like p13 assail

[naive star]

i only just "graduated" to Heresy missions, had good run of those tonight, yet made few noob moves there like thinkin green glow around corner was medkit (was daemonhost)

[coarse birch]

Word just wondering

[sharp zodiac]

Medipak down

[ornate bone]

PS6 is an easy weapon, but if you know how to play you just fuck everything with it

[olive raven]

Jump to damnation

[sharp zodiac]

Just kidding it's a demonhost fuck you

[olive raven]

Trust

[sharp zodiac]

Depends on their confidence

[royal vortex]

ps6 is harder than rashad and whatnot because of the awful dodges and reliance on activation

[olive raven]

You learn better by getting railed by the AI director

[ornate bone]

It's more that the good weapons skyrocket people who already have good game sense

[sharp zodiac]

I'd say do just ONE run of heresy and then begin just to warmup

[royal vortex]

the game is in large part a series of elaborate knowledge/gamesense checks

[naive star]

Guess ill give Damnation soon a go, Heresy missions with competent teams felt too easy most of the time outside freak accidents

[royal vortex]

(and a lot of the specials are basically self-contained "press the spacebar/shove button at the right time" minigames)

[ornate bone]

Like

[heady karma]

I’ll be honest. I find damnation easier than heresy or at least less stressful

[delicate needle]

true, getting wiped lets youu figure out target priority by reflecting on "damn, what killed me?"

[ornate bone]

I am yet to see a pub player climb a loot box or a railing to escape fire

[delicate needle]

was it the two bombers we didn't kill?

[ornate bone]

They want to get away from the area, not above it

[naive star]

Ill steal that tip to my gameplay book

[heady karma]

Heresy I can and sometimes do hard carry 3 other people painfully across the finish line. Damnation players are on average better, and if they need to be carried its usually an early mission fail

[frank night]

u learn by posting furiously about pub players

[sharp zodiac]

Sometimes I like to sit on a box and watch as a beast of nurgle helplessly tries to tailsmack me

[ornate bone]

Many don't internalize that you just barely need to go above the fire to not take damage

[sharp zodiac]

So long as it isn't trying to eat me

[delicate needle]

if damnation doesn't work out, give auric heresy a shot

[naive star]

I dont really even know what the auric thing is about, just know there is 2nd page of missions

[sharp zodiac]

Pub player burnt my fucking house down

[frank night]

u sure

[heady karma]

Auric is higher payout and guaranteed modifiers basically

[frank night]

that would mean they managed to do damage to something

p impressive

[naive star]

I could use Auric with "tons of extra zombies" as i still need to finish that "kill 40 stunned targets" penance

[sharp zodiac]

A bomber already lit it on fire

He just added more gas

[frank night]

But uh

[sharp zodiac]

I'm gonna blow up each and every one of your kitchens

[royal vortex]

[hushed knoll]

What pact

[royal vortex]

NOT COOKED bacon

[coarse birch]

Thats too not cooked

[hushed knoll]

I’m gonna blow up your bathroom

[frank night]

blowing up stan's kitchen will not stop him doing this

[royal vortex]

would u like a side of fooid poisoning with ur thanksgiving

[north sedge]

burns the shit out of steak, but loves sushi grade bacon

[coarse birch]

That shit is white

[royal vortex]

the north atlantic pact

[hushed knoll]

Excuse me?

[sharp zodiac]

There are two ways

[royal vortex]

you are excused

[sharp zodiac]

Do I have to remove his fingers

[hushed knoll]

Do you like me chipless nachos

[polar nexus]

Ok so the guy is mechanically good but the knife is mechanically shit. Amirite?

[sharp zodiac]

The only gross thing my family at least thinks is mac and cheese with mustard

But that's it

[coarse birch]

What

[royal vortex]

i know stan is a fucking pig because he had to recreate the experience of eating out of a trough

[sharp zodiac]

It's good

[north sedge]

tbh i didn't watch much past the seething part

[coarse birch]

I do not believe thats good

[royal vortex]

with his shredded cheese IN THE FUCKING SINK

he ate it over a sink

because he did not want to use plates

🐷

[fading vale]

I mean you can put a bit of mustard like, in the mac and cheese sauce and thats fine

[frank night]

u need to think in like cthulu terms

[hushed knoll]

My das does this

[hushed knoll]

What

That’s @quaint verge

Not me

[north sedge]

it's you when you stick your head in a bag of cookies while on discord

[polar nexus]

Same but if the guy does almost a complete solo run, he can't be that bad.

[hushed knoll]

I put dried mustard in mine

And I make it in the cock pit

Crock pot

Jesus

[north sedge]

woah

[coarse birch]

I mean the issue with his knife wasnt it was unusable

It was just worse than it could be

He could have completed that run easier

[north sedge]

the issue is also that he posted a spite video a month later and named and shamed people, it's very funny

[coarse birch]

Yeah that too

Man was upset

[hushed knoll]

That’s annual

Anngak

[north sedge]

it isn't though

it's you

[coarse birch]

Idk why lacerate flesh tearer is the hill he chose to die on

[olive raven]

Stan

Looking at your food gives me diarrhea

[north sedge]

i used this to make josho die when talking about the cookie incident

[zealous basin]

HAPPY CHRISTMAS PILGRIMS

[north sedge]

they all do

[coarse birch]

Youd be lucky to just get that

[fading vale]

I thought it was uncanny lacerate

[polar nexus]

I don't mind him naming and shaming Valerie. The first encounter I had with him let me a very bad taste.

[zealous basin]

yeah he had uncanny

[fading vale]

yeah uncanny is the only reason that worked at all

[coarse birch]

Oh i thought he was double bleed

[fading vale]

we just said lacerate is bad

[polar nexus]

That's agent chaos thing

[coarse birch]

So fucking lacerate was his hill to die in

The anti knife blessing

[zealous basin]

and crit damage perk!

[fading vale]

and then they acted like we killed their dog

and also crit perks yeah

[zealous basin]

one of the more civil knife convos ive seen

can someone notarize the intro to that video so i can copypasta it

[coarse birch]

I actually wasnt able to convince someone not to run crit chance on knife

I have failed zealot chat

[olive raven]

It’s happened

[zealous basin]

fail deze

[olive raven]

We get certain Ogryn brained people

[north sedge]

eh, alot of knife people dig their heels in

[olive raven]

Saying crit chance is good

[zealous basin]

dig they knife in

[olive raven]

THEY ARENT EVEN KNIFE PEOPLE SAYING THIS TOO

[fading vale]

uh, "I just wanted to post my cool knife and people said it was bad so here's screenshots of all their profiles"

[zealous basin]

whos hoppin on city of heroes

[north sedge]

see the same on like, surge staff for psyker

[fading vale]

crit chance is at least not the worst thing you could run but certainly suboptimal

[zealous basin]

merry christmas yall hop on

[coarse birch]

When your running it to proc bleed

I cry

[zealous basin]

i skip scourge on knife

unnecessary

i have lacerate

[coarse birch]

Flip im not even sure you play darktide anymore

[zealous basin]

hey

[coarse birch]

However you know what your talking about so

[cerulean pike]

flip just drinks

[zealous basin]

i technically

play a game or two every once in a while

that said i dont use knife ever lmao

[hushed knoll]

Why did he die

[quaint verge]

Stanly the Honse

[north sedge]

laughing too hard

[zealous basin]

hi stan

[north sedge]

cause you fit your feedbag to your face when you get on discord late night

[frosty wave]

How's this for a bleed/crit build?
Wasn't sure if I should've gone for bleed on non-weakness for Riposte

[zealous basin]

[zealous basin]

stan after half a beer

[coarse birch]

I dont know if stan is a real person anymore

[sharp zodiac]

Should've put on laxerate smh

Literature

[zealous basin]

guys we have to acknowledge the knife

we cant just ignore it

we have an obligation.

[hushed knoll]

Et tu, Laz?

[fading vale]

https://tenor.com/view/make-me-master-chief-pablo-schreiber-halo-try-me-gif-25547807

[coarse birch]

You don't want crit damage as it doesn't work right, and for a good knife, your better off with uncanny over flesh tearer

Or i just got baited

[hushed knoll]

Master cheeks is so fucking hot

I want to climb inside him like a tauntaun on Hoth

[frosty wave]

Nah not bait, I just vaguely guess what would be good

[coarse birch]

Bleed isnt great unfort

[fading vale]

uncanny is basically the minimum on knife

[zealous basin]

the year is 2023

[coarse birch]

It just doesnt ramp up and do damage faster than actually just hitting the thing in the head once or twice

[zealous basin]

you WILL run cara unyielding uncanny + precog/mercy

and you will NOT cry about it

im a big boy....

[north sedge]

switch flesh tearer to uncanny, crit dmg to flak

[coarse birch]

^

[fading vale]

also for future reference weakspot damage perk doesn't do anything either

[coarse birch]

Crit damage perk + weakspot perk COMBINED probably gives you like 8 extra damage

[fading vale]

combined on knife might be a bit over 10%

[coarse birch]

Yeah it does have high modifiers

[hushed knoll]

Have you never played coke chgineeis. Chdues

God Adam mir

Dammit

[north sedge]

[hushed knoll]

Cold Chinese chess

I’ve had a fue

Cold Chinese chess

[hushed knoll]

Isn’t Chinese chess a thing

[north sedge]

no but the thing i said is

[fading vale]

[hushed knoll]

Don’t you play chess outside on stone tables

[fading vale]

[hushed knoll]

Maybe it’s just a New pork thing

York

[verbal briar]

whats the latest on graia vs columnus

[fading vale]

how do you misspell EVERYTHING

[verbal briar]

one of em got nerfed right

[north sedge]

no

[coarse birch]

Columnus better for overall dps and anything but ranged accuracy

[hushed knoll]

Don’t worry I’m getting a new phone on the 29th

[north sedge]

graia braced got buffed to be at least on par with colomunus braced

[coarse birch]

Not sure the phone is the issue

[fading vale]

all the brautos are usable now afaik

[verbal briar]

brrrr ok

[coarse birch]

Oh we talking about brautos

[hushed knoll]

Laz I HAVENT tided with you in a while

Why is haven’t capitalized

[coarse birch]

Graias still feels weird to me

Feels like inconsistent

[hushed knoll]

Like the bean I posted

[fading vale]

[fading vale]

[zealous basin]

[zealous basin]

shitty != bad

[coarse birch]

Do not diss killer bean

[zealous basin]

[fading vale]

I think they made a short before

[hushed knoll]

I thought it was Chinese

[rustic lagoon]

Put some respect on Killer Bean!

[hushed knoll]

[north sedge]

I’ll eat you over my sink 😠

[timid mortar]

What's the best Blessings for Crucis THammer?

[north sedge]

but stan how will your roommate feel about that

thrust headtaker/slaughterer

[hushed knoll]

God don’t remind me

[timid mortar]

Thrust?

[coarse birch]

😳

[hushed knoll]

I smell like him now

[fading vale]

thrust is required

and headtaker or slaughterer are the other 2 options

[timid mortar]

And SkullCrusher?

headtaker or slaughterer ok, ta

[zealous basin]

skullcrusher is the sleeper chad pick

[royal vortex]

i fucking HATE gunners

[zealous basin]

u should take it

[royal vortex]

i will eradicate them ALL

[zealous basin]

ignore all these nerds

[coarse birch]

Do not listen to flip

[native bluff]

^

[fading vale]

what weapons

[steel sedge]

just met some guys in my game that wanted to make my life hell. they said i had to slap this one bell and it made the karnak twins into a damnation++

[royal vortex]

i had columnus brauto/crusher/throwing knives

[zealous basin]

[royal vortex]

the throwing knives killed many of them

the 4th player was a rotating slot

2 ppl left before we got the dude who stuck till the end (altin)

[fading vale]

that's a lot of gunners

[coarse birch]

I think i had similar numbers in my last throwing knife game

[delicate shadow]

Tknives sweep 😤

[timid mortar]

Wait : Thrust .. not Thunderous?

[coarse birch]

Yes

Do not run thunderous

[delicate shadow]

Thrusterous

[mystic ether]

Alright. It's settled. I'm a shroudfield fiend. This is actually way more entertaining in some ways compared to shade.

Planning on preparing some gear for aurics when I get the chance. For people that have experienced and gotten consistent (usually there's better stuff but it's whatever I love this ability too much) success, what are yall doing with some of these builds to make it pop like crazy?

[coarse birch]

I like knife shroudfield

[timid mortar]

😦 .. I only have lvl3 Thrust... gotta find tier4

[mystic ether]

I tried the new knife. I want to believe in it but I don't really like the flow for setting up backstabs.

[delicate shadow]

Good luck, t4 thrust is annoying af to get

[coarse birch]

I prefer mk3 knife

[delicate shadow]

I still don’t have it

[simple herald]

try not to suck dick challenge heavy sword edition (impossible)

[coarse birch]

Honestly

Wat

[steel sedge]

got it today

[hushed knoll]

What happened

[hushed knoll]

Wait are you aquila

[delicate shadow]

Hsword is braindead easy to be effective with lol

[mystic ether]

MK3 is just that reliable for me and I'm not satisfied with how clean I am with it yet.

[delicate shadow]

Allegedly

(Yes)

[hushed knoll]

Omg hi

[delicate shadow]

Yo

[royal vortex]

almost no melee elites in comparison lmao

[royal vortex]

a million gunners spawned

[delicate shadow]

Luckyyyy

[zealous basin]

whooooah new mod

[coarse birch]

Josho do you still hate rager design

[zealous basin]

smells just like aquila

[mystic ether]

@coarse birch I've also had pretty decent success running the crucis 2 hammer when I want to have something better for monstrosities. Shit is crazy.

[hushed knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[coarse birch]

I hear people like hammer ye

[mystic ether]

Currently working my way back to being damnation ready. What are some of the better blessings at the moment for mk3 and why if you know?

[royal vortex]

they havent changed it at all so yeah

it's not interactive

it's a stagger check

if no, you don't engage more than 2 at a time

if yes u can kinda just faceroll

[delicate shadow]

Knife? Uncanny precog, highest dps pretty much

[royal vortex]

otherwise u just default to shooting them

[mystic ether]

Guns are sort of dime a dozen with the builds I've been running and just about any fully automatic autogun or revolver feels like it's enough. Anything in particular for revolvers since they seem to just do the easiest work for more important targets at range?

[coarse birch]

Yeah i figured

[steel sedge]

more of consitency, i just buy cheap grey weapons and spend all diamantine and plasteel on them: guaranteed lvl IV perk

[fading vale]

is crouching wolf hidden turkey some kind of Christmas dinner thing

outside of the play on crouching tiger

[delicate shadow]

It’s esoteric

[sharp zodiac]

Mmmm turkeyy

[fading vale]

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[sharp zodiac]

Jk I fucking hate those birds

[delicate shadow]

(Idk I just did it)

[olive raven]

Revolvers just need Handcannon and either Surgical/Trickshooter depending on the revolver

[fading vale]

one of the first games I played when I was like 6 was a hunting game where I shot turkeys

[olive raven]

The old one, Surgical, new one Trickshooter

Hand cannon is a must

[mystic ether]

So far just been using the original one. I'll get into quickdraw when something drops that's closer to 500 I guess and has some 70%+ stat spread.

Last one I saw was like 18% crit.

mean.

[fading vale]

take crucian over trickshooter on new one imo

[mystic ether]

70% for everything else lol

[royal vortex]

i would rather have crucian yeah

[steel sedge]

anyways i need to find me a group that can carry me throughout the karnak twins on damnation++ . to get that golden insignia

[royal vortex]

trickshooter is terrible since it has such bad inaccuracy

[fading vale]

yeah

[mystic ether]

Sounds about right.

[royal vortex]

u can't guarantee enough stacks for it to be worthwhile

[sharp zodiac]

The vox lexcanium will be your better bet

[cerulean pike]

It’s the day after fighting a Carolina reaper and I would like to say that

I feel fine. No pain whatsoever. Shit is WEAK

[fading vale]

regardless the old one is about 2x as good as the new one

[mystic ether]

I got one with a uh...can't remember atm but like surgical 1 and crucian on my og revolver. Still works but I won't be able to change the blessings.

[fading vale]

but old one is kinda overpowered so

[mystic ether]

Oh! Do those two revolvers share the same blessing pool completely?

[fading vale]

yes

[cerulean pike]

Same weapon family

[coarse birch]

Tbf even if old one wasnt dumb new one just feels eh

[mystic ether]

Cool. Seems like that's just the case with a lot of guns.

[fading vale]

only weapon family that doesn't share is staves

[cerulean pike]

That’s cause you’re looking at different weapon families

[mystic ether]

mhm

[olive raven]

Isn’t terrible if you have aim, Crucian is good too

[mystic ether]

just wsn't sure how consistent that is since there's al ot of weapons I jsut never used.

[olive raven]

I’m just fucking

Fumbling all my words rn cuz working out

Shit sucks

[fading vale]

fatshark just said fuck staves

[cerulean pike]

Suffer

[night cypress]

man the knife on zealot is such a power trip with all the crit perks

[cerulean pike]

Where’s my different mark purgatus staff

[olive raven]

Stfu Akari

[mystic ether]

Do people at all mess around with shroudfield-piety stuff?

[cerulean pike]

No, fuck you

[fading vale]

where's the primary attack or special on any staff

[olive raven]

don’t use crit perks plz n thx

[steel sedge]

i don't think im getting far if i just join a vox. they will just try to get me to leave

[mystic ether]

I usually do not care for crit-fcosued builds but at least for zealot they look pretty when they pop off

[fading vale]

maybe they meant crit talents

[coarse birch]

I actually use the primary on staffs

[night cypress]

no i wanna

[olive raven]

They

[mystic ether]

Piety magazines are...a little intoxicating ngl.

[olive raven]

Aren’t useful

[coarse birch]

At least surge

[cerulean pike]

I believe they mean crit talents

[olive raven]

If it’s talent

Valid

[cerulean pike]

please tell me you mean crit talents

[night cypress]

you aren't useful, smh

[fading vale]

you can use it but it's just like..... so much less than what it should be

[coarse birch]

Oh true

[fading vale]

they should all have unique shit

[olive raven]

Do you mean talent tree or weapon perks

Yes or no

[night cypress]

tree

[coarse birch]

But its nice for at least like getting bombers to drop there bomb

[olive raven]

Ok thank fuck never mind

[coarse birch]

Etc

[night cypress]

LOL

[cerulean pike]

The crit perks on weapons are garbage

The crit talents good

[olive raven]

terminology is important smh

[night cypress]

yeah i use damage for flak and unarmed or unyielding

for the knife

[olive raven]

I mean no ill intent, I am simply raging at Vin rn

[fading vale]

like the dude that was saying they didn't understand why hsword was good yesterday

[mystic ether]

Do people run anything else for mk3 knife that isn't momentum for a keystone?

[delicate shadow]

It’s fun for sure

[fading vale]

but never clarified that they didn't know how to build it

[olive raven]

can be v nice, I’d slap maniac myself

[mystic ether]

Actually, is zealot a class that can do things without their keystones?

never tried.

[night cypress]

maniac for ragers

right?

[coarse birch]

Yeah

[fading vale]

there's no reason not to take keystones

[olive raven]

Uh yes but don’t.

[olive raven]

And muties

[coarse birch]

But i wouldnt

[fading vale]

the keystones are all strong

[cerulean pike]

All classes can
But keystones are just real good

[olive raven]

I’ve used a build that avoids keystones

It is sorta eh

[night cypress]

ahh hmm i may then instead of unyelding

[delicate shadow]

The keystones are all good is the thing so no reason to not take one

[night cypress]

not like ima smack bosses wit hit

[olive raven]

I mean tbh I do 💀

[coarse birch]

Yeah you can knife bosses

[mystic ether]

On vet for me at least before I get back into aurics on it felt fine, but that was just before the vet tree rework.

[night cypress]

not with a boltgun i wouldn't

[olive raven]

Valid

[mystic ether]

They probably still can but I'm not using vet as a metric for every single class in that kind of way.

[hushed knoll]

You’re still named leidig leis

[mystic ether]

and also, the talent spread feels better anyway on vet so keystones are just, there for me all the time.

[hushed knoll]

Interesting

[olive raven]

I sorta liked it

[hushed knoll]

[olive raven]

Sounds like a rammstein song

sounds like Rein Raus sorta

[delicate needle]

not taking keystones is a bit silly. EVERYONE gets use out of blazing piety at the very least

[mystic ether]

Backstabs count as anything from the sie flanks and rear for targets right?

[night cypress]

looks like you've just hit the keyboard and pressed enter

[olive raven]

momentum best keystone fr

[coarse birch]

Rammstein is a band i could never get super into however i also dont dislike there songs

[mystic ether]

180 degree coverege on point of contact?

[olive raven]

Pretty sure just the back

[olive raven]

That’s what Stan does

[night cypress]

ahh

[olive raven]

I got this nickname from Stan fucking my name up

He somehow typed leux as

leidig

leis

[night cypress]

gotcha lidag lais

[olive raven]

Two tries

He fucked up

[mystic ether]

mhm. I guess the question was more like when the game recognizes it even if you're not straight up obviously landing a hit on the back

[olive raven]

Game is weird

[mystic ether]

Since in vt2 that's usually the case.

"Backstab" has a robust kind of application from what I remember.

[olive raven]

Backstab is good, all inknow

[steel sedge]

I got this hammer today should i swap out the thunderstrike blessing or the infested perk

[olive raven]

Funny CDR plus funny CRIT

[mystic ether]

Might be something an actual good post on reddit. Wanted to figure out what I'll do to better school mobs for backstabs when I can.

[olive raven]

Thunder strike to headtaker or slaught

[frosty herald]

Get flak and slaughterer

[olive raven]

Shame about infested but ya

[coarse birch]

One things changed

[olive raven]

Hammer is a blessing weapon

[coarse birch]

Already

[olive raven]

Not a perk weapon so

👍

[coarse birch]

You have unyielding

So yeah

[olive raven]

Yus

[sharp zodiac]

You know what zealot needs the most?

[delicate shadow]

Backstab CDR is ver gud

[sharp zodiac]

[sharp zodiac]

Frenchphobia

[coarse birch]

True

[zealous basin]

alright

let me be stoned in PEACE

[royal vortex]

it's not suppression immune by default and has sway + super intense recoil on successive shots

it's worse for using trickshooter than old revolver

if they gave it a sensible design it would be a fantastic trickshooter gun

but as it stands there's no point

ive watched ppl better than me use it and they never had >2 stacks
