so that's a guaranteed 20% for free every 8 seconds

blissful sinew
#

i should say im running blazing piety lol

royal vortex
#

iag is better but the brauto is fun

fleet zealot
#

crushers and monsters+ big elite packs

royal vortex
#

the columnus isn't bad by any means it performs the job it does well

olive raven
#

It’s just an meh node

fleet zealot
#

and it boosts the ticking damage and contact damage which matters when you chastise as well

olive raven
#

It looks better on paper

native cargo
#

Toughness regen is pretty strong on zealot without the momentum toughness regen

daring blaze
ripe quest
#

Overpressure is bugged. BA is mainly for patrol nuking.

fleet zealot
#

for general horde clear, no you aren't using blaze away, you'll burn through your ammo

native cargo
#

Which is why I don't have thay node because I rather put the point elsewhere

olive raven
#

It’s an inconsistent regeneration that maxes at an equivalent of 5% toughness per second

fleet zealot
#

but general horde clear doesn't need blaze away anyways

olive raven
#

It’s a very, very build specific node if you do take it

native cargo
daring blaze
#

I use inexorable judgement with both auxiliary nodes on my thunder hammer charge build

north sedge
#

i have better things to spend points on then momentum toughness

olive raven
#

On… hammer

north sedge
#

also on hammer

olive raven
#

I’m very curious to see this build.

royal vortex
#

20/8 is 2.5% a sec and equivalent to an enemy agnostic EWEW if you have 20 stacks

#

oftentimes you're at 10-15ish

daring blaze
#

You have never tried it.

olive raven
#

20 stacks is 5%

daring blaze
#

And you are already eager to talk shit

native cargo
#

Ultimately idc how you build your zealot but i will give my thoughts and advice

north sedge
#

i've never needed it

native cargo
#

Up to others to take it or leave it

royal vortex
#

ah math is hard

#

anyways the less stacks you have the worse it is

shy badge
blissful sinew
#

mostly just looking for an ewew alternative as i never feel low on toughness when there is stuff to smack in front of me, just when i am trying to approach open rooms filled with gun toting goobers

guess i could just take good balance and slide around a lot

royal vortex
#

and you only get 20 guaranteed at the start of a fight, when you literally dont need toughness regen

olive raven
quiet sonnet
#

Fr!!!

shy badge
#

Seems utterly useless for killing crushers lmao

north sedge
ripe quest
shy badge
#

My melee could kill it faster

royal vortex
#

it's a really bad node because it's toughness regen you can't control and is too low to have serious value when it procs

dark zealot
#

why are you trying to flamer a crusher?

ripe quest
north sedge
south folio
royal vortex
#

it's specifically the "you cannot control" part of it that makes it so bad

olive raven
#

End of day if the build works for you, that’s great. Love that for you.

But, if you dont want to listen to potentially beneficial advice, that’s also your prerogative.

dark zealot
#

A. thats dumb, B. you do more optimal dps by applying burn stacks than raw damage

royal vortex
#

because momentum triggers off hitting stuff, and you're always hitting stuff

#

lotta the time you'll be at full toughness when you proc it

olive raven
#

Yea it’s an 8s minimum proc

royal vortex
#

if you want enemy-agnostic sustained toughness when being mobile you take second wind

south folio
#

you apply burn stacks by using the flamer on crushers?

ripe quest
royal vortex
#

which is ridiculously better

olive raven
#

Versus a constant proc or on dodge

south folio
#

you realize that DoTs also inherit your current buffs

#

chastise doesn't just apply to the flamer's direct damage

native cargo
shy badge
daring blaze
#

I went left tree at the top

frank night
#

ho boy someone said optimal dps its time for a flashback

dark zealot
#

no i mean there are ways to apply burn stacks faster and thus do better dps and kill faster or even get closer to killing than mag dumping on the target

shy badge
#

I'm not the one who said it, I'm saying its an insane idea and are trying to see how it works

daring blaze
#

And Holy Rev

olive raven
royal vortex
south folio
#

what are the other ways of applying more burn stacks that doesn't involve the flamer

native cargo
south folio
#

kantrael shotty is limited to 10 stacks, and infernus on laspistol is similarly limited to like 12 or whatever

daring blaze
ripe quest
daring blaze
#

How?

dark zealot

daring blaze
#

I feel lazy and don't want to recreate it in the buildmaker

How do people take the full screenshot of it

arghhhhhhh

shy badge

#

afaik you cant take a shrunk down version in game

olive raven
royal vortex
#

install the mod to compress your talent tree

shy badge
#

Still not worth it

frank night
#

unless im missing something

daring blaze
#

I'm going to have to make it on gameslantern....

south folio
#

you can also just do that at the same time though

shy badge
#

Are you not testing your weapons on damnnation or something? lol

olive raven
#

Tbh you don’t need to login so

frank night
#

do not install remain free of cybernetics

south folio
#

just flamer and wave your mouse around

olive raven

It’s quick

shy badge
#

Oh and this is with anoint in blood on too

#

Simply just is a poor use of a flamer

#

Idk what to say

is something u could say

I agree

I'm not using nanomachines because I'm thinking long term. First ima shit my pants then three games later I'm marrying a hot red head

olive raven

Do you run wound curios?

daring blaze
#

No

olive raven
#

Then uh

frank night
#

there's a little man in my head who calls me corporat

olive raven
#

Bleed for the emperor is eh

dark zealot
#

just dont get wounded

olive raven
#

Like not very useful in that case

daring blaze
#

I know

#

I figure it helps with snipers at least

frank night
#

stop typing

royal vortex
#

bfte probably still saves u from getting brought straight to 1 from full hp

daring blaze
#

And don't see a much better choice

royal vortex
#

if u get meme overheaded

#

by a crackhead psyker spamdodging and dragging it into you

olive raven
#

It’s unfortunate point taxes there

dark zealot
#

never trust them magic people

#

they are cursed

opaque island
#

or the meme, i charge swing on the crusher, and i hit the guy behind it somehow

olive raven
#

Stuns really are ripping away some good hammer nodes from you

daring blaze
#

It is what it is

royal vortex
#

yea bfte isn't bad for giving u 1 extra overhead tanked

olive raven
#

But tbh I literally can’t see a way to keep stuns and do momentum

native cargo
#

Anyone spamming dodge trying to not drag a overhead onto me (impossible)

It's the sacrifice we make for speedy bois

#

what is unforgivable tho

royal vortex
#

i watch ppl run into the overheads i dodge

daring blaze
#

wym?

royal vortex
#

they fkin asked for it

native cargo
#

It's being rez into an overhead

daring blaze
#

I did it

#

it's right there

olive raven
dark zealot
open echo
#

this is new right?

sharp zodiac
#

Now that I'm home I'm going to change just a few things in Darktide then Play ROR2

And I won't get sucked into playing a few runs of Darktide

olive raven
#

Personally I think left tree isn’t great compared to the right, at least at the top

#

Down further I think left has some very nice nodes

native cargo
olive raven
#

But ig 7.5% toughness on heavy kill works nicely

frank night
native cargo
sharp zodiac
#

Once I unlock them ofc

olive raven
#

@royal vortex is the 7.5% toughness from heavy kill additive with the base 5% on kill?

royal vortex
#

yeah

native cargo
#

Artificer is a boo

olive raven
#

Hm then yea that’s not bad there

native cargo
royal vortex
#

one hsword heavy can get u 50%+ in a horde

sharp zodiac
#

Wh

#

I got rat'd

native cargo
#

I'm eating your moon cheese

royal vortex
#

bfte is good with either of the 2 main variants of marty (3 wounds curios vs 3hp)

sharp zodiac
north sedge
#

yea vicious offering is solid if you have a weapon that heavies alot

royal vortex
#

a little less so for momentum just because its awkward to fit bfte in if you want second wind

native cargo
opaque island
#

at that point you might as well use another keystone

royal vortex
olive raven
#

I don’t think many would

#

Tbh I could see

royal vortex
#

3 marty stacks at 1/4th hp isn't bad damage at all

olive raven
#

2x wound 1x Tough/HP as a viable martyr build

blissful sinew
#

is second wind + good balance + slide spam enough for tanking big rooms of shooters?

royal vortex
#

need TWBS for that but yeah

opaque island
#

TWBS is my crutch, i cant play zealot without it

daring blaze
#

It's everyone's crutch

sharp zodiac
blissful sinew
#

yeah twbs is a given for me lol

sharp zodiac
#

Would I reaaallly need duelist with a momentum thammer build

olive raven
#

TWBS is just goated

daring blaze
#

I used to run Holy Rev instead of TWBS when it was either/or

#

then they nerfed rev

native cargo
sharp zodiac
#

French rat

royal vortex
sharp zodiac
#

Thanks frog

#

Got it

#

Only thing I changed really was taking off desperation and put holy rev on with UD

royal vortex
#

desperation isn't that necessary

north sedge
#

you monster! that's fine, just personal preference there

royal vortex
#

i only really think it's HUGE with push attack weapons

#

like dc7 or crusher

#

where ur always vibin at low stam anyways

dark zealot
#

dont see the laspistols discussed much

north sedge
#

they shoot good

#

not much to discuss

#

extremely simple weapon

dark zealot
#

what blessings though?

signal prism
#

You grab dum dum and whatever

sharp zodiac
#

I do want to try the throwing knives

native cargo
#

So

#

You throw them

sharp zodiac
#

Well

#

Yeah

native cargo
#

Ideally you throw them at the enemy

olive raven

Throwing knives goated

olive raven

#

I just suck with throwing knives 😔 you gotta get those headshots

daring blaze
#

what's the stagger breakpoint for ragers

shy badge
# ripe quest

Well I hate to break it to you but this is something any flamer can do with or without blaze away... with similar TTK

i foget i have the knives

then i remember and panick throw them all

daring blaze
royal vortex
#

i make sure to throw knives at abhumans during any downtime

north sedge
#

🤔

dark zealot
#

use the other bonk stick for that

blissful sinew
north sedge
#

hammer can only stagger ragers out combo with punishment, otherwise you have to hit them when they're not attacking to stagger lock em

ripe quest
# dark zealot what blessings though?

Generally Dum Dum/Infernus for a safe bet since the fire damage will keep DD up. Both variants crit enough by default to proc Infernus. People really like DD/Raking Fire too, but that's a playstyle difference.

olive raven
#

I think you’d have to take like

#

A god rolled hammer

royal vortex
#

my favorite laspistol build (for the new one) is dumdum/ghost unarmored/maniac

#

i HATE dreg gunners

daring blaze
copper hawk
#

If you'd like it

sharp zodiac
#

Gives me an excuse to have a ranged way to deal with enemies while having a weapon more suited for close combat ranged wise

#

Hmm

#

Can't think of which keystone, so I'll have to use my brain

dark zealot
#

Melks shop

dark zealot
shy badge
#

Has anyone tried a hit & run/dumdum MkX heavy laspistol with anoint in blood build on zealot? It seems like it'd be really good

#

since hipfire is the name of the game with laspistols anyway

sharp zodiac
#

What blessings am I looking for flamer wise

#

Perks seem obvious

olive raven
#

If it’s a Crucis I personally don’t see the reason for lights stagger outside a funny “it’s possible”

delicate needle

ripe quest
olive raven
#

As a heavy will stagger 2-3 ragers from memory

#

Quickflame IV brings your reload down to like 2.5s and is faster than most rifles

#

and with the purgation u p t i m e is a good quality

dark zealot
fading vale
#

for perks elites/flak/unyielding

sharp zodiac
#

Hold on Imma show the flamer

fading vale
#

blaze is really only for whole room clearing, crushers, and big elite packs though, but it slightly helps in other scenarios

sharp zodiac
#

I see

shy badge
#

It barely helps in those scenarios

fading vale
#

yeah 50% burn damage is terrible

dark zealot
#

the best crit axe

fading vale
#

40 sorry

ember yew

#

8% power every 10% of your magazine... you only get meaningful damage increases when you're already half through your magazine

nothing else buffs the damage

#

Then there's thrust's name which caused my Canadian friend to laugh like a 13 year old

fading vale
shy badge
#

I wasn't expecting to see the french localization, neat to see the different weapon names

#

What do they call the autoguns? Fusil Automatique de l’infanterie?

sharp zodiac
#

Let me check

next chasm
sharp zodiac
#

Close but it's fusil d'assaut d'infanterie for the IAGs

fading vale
shy badge
#

Huh thats an interesting change

fading vale
#

If I took stuns I could get attack speed

#

but I want fire nades

sharp zodiac
#

Yeah, most other games I play has it fusil automatique

shy badge
#

Odd they chose to change it from Automatic infantry gun/rifle to automatic infantry assault rifle/gun

fading vale
#

I heard that localization is one of the reasons they don't update their tooltips

daring blaze
#

I feel like I'm actually worse at this game than vermintide

#

when it comes to melee

sharp zodiac
#

Ik nothing of the reason so I can't prove nor disprove but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case

daring blaze
#

the melee combat just feels worse

#

now that I've got more time in vermintide I see a big difference

sharp zodiac
#

These names always catch people's attention whenever I post a sc of something

daring blaze
#

Most of the elites feel unfun to fight in melee

sharp zodiac
#

Mainly because of how it's structured

daring blaze
#

They buffed elite HP to make up for the fact you can shred them with ranged weapons

#

Which made fighting them in melee so much worse

ripe quest
fading vale
daring blaze
#

Ragers feel worse to fight compared to berserkers

#

or plague monks

#

they never fucking stop attacking

#

You practically have to use ranged

fading vale
#

ragers are poorly designed

ripe quest
#

Berserkers walked so DClaw could run.

daring blaze
#

I wish I never played vermintide

shy badge
sharp zodiac
#

Yeah

fading vale
#

basically rager stagger resist is too high, their range is too far, their attacks are undodgeable, and they attack too fast (idk if they still have double attack bug)

shy badge
daring blaze
#

I'm going to guess knife

ripe quest
#

It's on a Knife yeah.

fading vale
#

I can't help but want to post that at every opportunity

#

it makes me laugh every time

mossy scarab
#

Is that your cat? Looks like Steve

fading vale
#

yeah it's Steve

mossy scarab
#

Brilliant.

daring blaze
#

The speed isn't a problem

fading vale
#

well it's more the speed in combination with other things

#

but no, I tried VT2 and hated it relative to DT

daring blaze
#

I would be fine if they acted like plague monks

#

where they'd do one big flurry and then go on a cooldown basically acting like a normal enemy for like 5 seconds

fading vale
#

but ragers are literally undodgeable entirely which I think is dumb, you have to out range them which is 3.75 meters

daring blaze
#

that is also a problem

sharp zodiac
#

Alright ig I can run just one game

#

Got myself a chaxe for nice damage and shit

Flamer to cover the (new) chaxe's average horde clear

And knives for range threats

royal vortex
sharp zodiac
#

It's just one

#

Then it's risk of rain 2

fading vale
#

but also you have weapons like hsword that can one shot up to 4 ragers at a time so

#

the balance is just kinda all over

daring blaze
#

this is all thanks to the blessings

fading vale
#

yes, new BM is stupid

daring blaze
#

as opposed to old?

fading vale
#

old BM was also stupid

fading vale
#

but new one allows you to one shot 4 things

royal vortex
#

me when brutal momentum NERF

#

RUINED the blessing

daring blaze
#

That is also one part of Darktide I really dislike

#

the haphazard balance

made worse by patch 13

# prisma sigil when

idk there was a lot of sentiment right before p13 dropped and right after that bm got nerfed

daring blaze
#

I JUST NOTICED HE KILLED ALL 3

royal vortex
#

like some of the more intelligent regulars were getting a lil mald-y about it

daring blaze
#

I thought he only killed one

fading vale
#

no he killed 3

royal vortex
#

u can kill up to 4

#

the most crushers ive seen anyone get in a live game is 3

daring blaze
#

my fucking god

royal vortex
#

i've killed 4 maulers in a swing though

daring blaze
#

these are supposed to be equivalent to chaos warriors

royal vortex
#

at the end in this clip i get 4 maulers iirc

daring blaze
#

Darktide strike teams eat carapace for breakfast

frank night
#

darktide character strength is a lil bit

fading vale
#

4 MAULERS 1 SWING

royal vortex
#

but i sound so happy

frank night
#

like there is no enemy in the game that isnt a boss that I dont assume will be dead inside a second of making contact with the strike team

long oasis
#

so what's the consensus for what to run on chaxe?

signal prism
#

I mean, it was pretty cool

sharp zodiac
daring blaze
#

was it like this before patch 13 as well

royal vortex
daring blaze
#

Or was it a little more balanced

frank night
#

before pinning fire existed

#

and autopistol

#

so it was just veterantopia

royal vortex
#

because neither of those weapons are The Thing To Use As Of Current Patch

sharp zodiac
frank night
#

ah you have become a hipster

#

i c i c

royal vortex
#

while not being some dogshit RSI inducing thing

#

like taxe

#

crusher is also one of the only wpns i feel like i can use incorrectly and be punished for

royal vortex
#

this is what this dude was thinkin of

dark zealot
#

Big E wasnt proud of me that time

royal vortex
#

when he came up with the world of forms

sharp zodiac
#

Why can you even

dark zealot
#

cant even get a blessing from that

royal vortex
#

the even more fucked up part is right

#

this is raw

#

no stacking buffs or anything

#

u just hold m1 until it releases automatically with the right build

sharp zodiac
#

Ig this is what you call an ogryn moment

#

Jesus

royal vortex
#

i dont have to bother with in-game setup i just find the dude i wanna kill

#

and i fucking SWING

daring blaze
#

tfw an ogryn wielding a folded shovel has more power than a thunder hammer

I hope they get the vermintide balance team on this

#

just kidding they'll only make it worse

signal prism
daring blaze
#

They gave the veterans grenade gen to a career in vermintide in the latest ""balance"" pass

royal vortex
#

relative balance has actually gotten better since they started trying to do it again

#

p13-14 made strides in making things relatively equal

signal prism
#

You can thank Stan for it

royal vortex
#

which isn't to say player power rn is in a good spot cuz it aint

timid bough
fading vale
#

Yeah I remember lol

blissful sinew
royal vortex
timid bough
#

I never played ogryn cuz if I wanted to fall asleep at my keyboard I wouldn't add the extra steps

royal vortex
#

pre-13 at least u werent LITERALLY ignoring hits in melee

coarse birch
#

my ogryn is literally over 100 levels under everyone else

fading vale
coarse birch
#

cause hes so boring and he has like

timid bough
coarse birch
#

maybe 2 playstyles

royal vortex
#

ive put 150 more levels in ogryn than my next class

#

its the first one ive brought to over 500

daring blaze
royal vortex
#

i really like the vibes

coarse birch
#

hes neat

timid bough
royal vortex
#

but it's like, you can't play it and have mechanical complexity rn

coarse birch
#

but between less weapons and almost no varying playstyles as well as just

#

not caring

royal vortex
#

i can't actually improve at the game or feel like im learning stuff

coarse birch
#

about anything

timid bough
#

with crit toughness DR you can take 0 damage from a poxburster

coarse birch
#

its kinda bleh

royal vortex
#

so like

#

i dont mind the less weapons

royal vortex
#

if they made all the different vars more unique

daring blaze
#

no way...

timid bough
#

Yes way

coarse birch
#

yeah

fading vale
#

how much toughness damage do bursters do

royal vortex
#

the stubbers need a total relative rebalancing and they need to rework the identity of each; crab as per usual has some really good ideas

daring blaze
fading vale
#

I know snipers are 1250 so no way zealot is tanking that

royal vortex
#

ogryn overall needs to interact with finesse. crits more than headshots, because crits are dumb as fuck and perfect for ogryn

coarse birch
#

but i use them mostly the same still

#

in my exp

royal vortex
timid bough
#

IDK I know I've gotten blown up by several in real games and taken 0 damage with all my toughness DR buffs active

royal vortex
#

gorg should be the armor shredder

daring blaze
#

if you have a yellow toughness boost of even 1 you can eat a sniper shot or poxburster

quaint verge
royal vortex
#

achlys should be the fleshy guy DESTROYER and the closest thing a machine gun can get to a flamer

#

krourk should be the DAKKA gun

fading vale
timid bough
#

ogryn has 100 toughness raw though

#

unless im missing something

royal vortex
#

don't bursters have a flat hp damage minimum they do

timid bough
#

<I don't play ogryn

royal vortex
#

like overheads

coarse birch
#

i dont even mind mk variations just make them actual variations

royal vortex
#

idt u can tank bursters straight to toughness under any circumstances

fading vale
#

and then you take toughness curios, and you get free 66% toughness DR, and then feel no pain

coarse birch
#

im p sure overfilling on toughness lets you tank

timid bough
fading vale
#

and wooo can't take damage

timid bough
#

das all I know

royal vortex
#

no there's a bug i think

ripe heron
#

Poxbursters always do max toughness.

signal prism
#

Vet can tank sniper and poxbuster with shout and the toughness dr trait as well

daring blaze
royal vortex
#

because ppl have reported tanking bursters with 0 damage, the common factor seems to be chastising

#

well yeah overshield is cracked

coarse birch
#

yeah i think its just an overshield thing

timid bough
#

I don't use chastise the wicker, and I don't take 0 damage, I take toughness damage

daring blaze
#

worst addition 2023

timid bough
#

not with yellow toughness

royal vortex
#

but i know @south folio had it happen and i dont think we even had a shout vet

coarse birch
#

idk about raw toughness

timid bough
#

just dodge DR crit DR, DR from talents etc

royal vortex
#

redverse too i think redverse has it clipped

timid bough
#

you're closing in on 85% toughness DR

fading vale
south folio
#

yeah i took no damage during the dash

ripe heron
#

You take less damage further from the explosion.

fading vale
#

I see

timid bough
#

dodge DR = 25% dr after a successful dodge

ripe quest
timid bough
#

not while dodging

royal vortex
#

the dr isn't additive iirc

#

all the dif sources should be multiplicative

timid bough
#

you can also tank sniper shots with full DR

fading vale
#

yeah all the DR is multiplicative except for the minor nodes

timid bough
#

It's still gonna be over 60%

ripe heron
#

Martyrdom+small nodes is 50%

timid bough
#

just look at right side tree

royal vortex
#

are the travel nodes additive with marty?

#

i wouldn't assume so

daring blaze
#

how about Benediction?

ripe heron
#

Martyrdom is additive.

royal vortex
#

huh. wouldn't've thought

fading vale
#

tbh nobody takes all the DR stuff unless you are going for immortal marty cause generally there is no need to do it

fading vale
#

but ogryn gets it for free

royal vortex
#

i mean its almost impossible not to grab it on ogryn

timid bough
#

and stealth / momentum

royal vortex
#

the 3 tdr nodes are all put in very easy to reach spots

Im still getting used to remembering TDR does something now that flames don't take away all toughness

fading vale
royal vortex
#
  • there's 15% dr while winding up a heavy attack and 15% dr while bracing a gun
#

just insanity

timid bough
ember yew
#

because of that im not sure if there are playtesters at all

timid bough
#

played crit for a long time

fading vale
#

I'm just a chastise hammer stan

royal vortex
#

i view crit build as a crutch in the same way SoC is

#

it would be cool if they kneecapped the fuck outta the cdr so i could play it without abusing something ridiculously strong

fading vale
ember yew
#

nobody saw them alive right

royal vortex
#

oh no ogryn was playtested. extensively

ember yew
#

mysterious beasts

royal vortex
#

the dudes who wrote the ogrynomicon are playtesters

fading vale
#

you know the ogryn guide

#

playtesters yeah

royal vortex
#

somehow a real, live human being looked at what they did to ogryn

#

and thought

#

"this is fair, yeah."

#

not just one, actually, multiple

#

numerous

south folio
#

hell yeah

royal vortex
#

legitimately do you know what else could tank snipers straight to toughness

#

pre-patch 13 vet

#

and so many people hated vet because of how braindead overpowered it was

#

and how its strongest builds required no thought

#

and then they gave that to ogryn

ember yew
royal vortex
olive raven
#

I mean an Ogryn having a lot of health

south folio
#

it unironically was

olive raven
#

Yea makes sense

#

But

#

The fact they keep it at max 24/7

#

Is fucking nuts

royal vortex
#

so the problem isn't ogryn conceptually being more tanky than other classes

olive raven
#

Even if they run absolute shit curios

royal vortex
#

it's the implementation violating one of the main things patch 13 was doing

dark zealot
royal vortex
#

which is removing in-built passives and transferring it all to a point system so you have more customizability and have choices to make

ember yew
olive raven
feral thorn
#

hell yeah

ember yew
royal vortex
#

because of the baseline dr ogryn gets

olive raven
#

Ogryn is nuts cuz of that fr

royal vortex
#

and then there's just like, no thought to any ogryn gameplay. you get all this damage output and survivability and it doesn't require any thought

dark zealot
olive raven
#

I’m honestly gonna go ahead and level my Ogryn when I get back to the states

royal vortex
#

and for some reason it gets 10% tdr per node instead of 5%

olive raven
#

And see how fast it happens

ember yew
royal vortex
#

hell yeah

#

i love the vibes of ogryn. big dumb guy does big dumb stuff is cool

#

but good lord they overdid it

ember yew
olive raven
#

They sorta forgot

#

Ogryns are dumb

fading vale
feral thorn
#

i wouldn't say ogryn is thoughtless, as there's a lot you can do to improve on your gameplay same as any other class, but he definitely has more room for error

olive raven
#

He is.

royal vortex
#

so when i say ogryn is thoughtless

royal vortex
#

i mean like

#

besides the "huge margin of error if you make run-ending mistakes on any other class" thing

dark zealot
royal vortex
#

is that there's almost nothing you can opt into that requires more effort

fading vale
fading vale
ember yew
#

i like zealot tree as a counter example of ogryn, there's so many fun options and i change build like 3-5 times per session

olive raven
#

native cargo
#

The largest amount of effort I ever put into ogryn is trying to make the rumbler shot bounce the way I want it to off enemies

royal vortex
#

there's nothing like talents that only proc on successful dodge, or talents that change how you play the game in any meaningful way. the entire tree is "HIT HARDER, TAKE MORE HITS, TAKE LESS DAMAGE FROM HIT, SHOOT HARDER, SHOOT MORE"

native cargo
#

And that's just for a meme

royal vortex
#

and while that's mostly true for other trees

#

zealot gets talents like dance of death, you dodge a guy and your spread/recoil is significantly reduced

#

and that adds an entirely different element to your combat loop with a gun like the brauto

olive raven
#

Anoint crying in the corner

royal vortex
#

none of the weapons are super complex either. mk4 has some basic combos for single target vs horde but thats about it

olive raven
#

+25% damage up to like 10 meters

dark zealot
#

i'd argue vets can do melee better than zealots can do guns

royal vortex
native cargo
royal vortex
#

requires more gamesense than any other ogryn ranged rn

#

and actually aiming the thing is fairly tricky in a lot of circumstances

royal vortex
#

yeah

ember yew
#

that thing is really strong when used at right situations

#

🍖

#

can i have one

royal vortex
#

oh dude if u want a good time

#

bring a survivalist vet and run gunlugger ogryn

ember yew
#

i hope they will give us plasma pistol

royal vortex
#

take the rending ult upgrade and dominate (15% rending on elite kill for 10s)

ember yew
#

if vet got big plasma gun, give us a pistol

royal vortex
#

the rending applies to the falloff on the explosion damage

#

it will NUKE elite patrols

hollow hazel
#

Hello! What blessings are good for heavy sword IX now? Deathblow and a dmg increasing one? Or smth else?

ember yew
#

in terms of lore friendly weapons, Meltagun too

native cargo
#

The best I ever did with the rumbler was intentionally killing a sniper with a head shot but accidentally killing two bombers, and disrupting scab mob firing line. I'll never replicate that again

royal vortex
#

deathblow + headtaker, rampage is ok in place of headtaker but headtaker is more consistent and caps out slightly higher

native cargo
#

The bounce on the grenade can be crazy good if you do it right but that's requires more brain power than i have

royal vortex
#

generally

native cargo
#

Does the wee wee like flip the grenade upwards or smth

royal vortex
#

it bounces towards the floor

native cargo
#

Cus that's some interesting mechanics and shiz

royal vortex
#

if you shoot the head it'll go up in the air most of the time

royal vortex
#

and has more chance of bouncing and fucking off somewhere else

hollow hazel
olive raven
#

Yes

#

Switch it to

#

Maniac

#

Trust

#

Hits ragers harder

hollow hazel
#

Yeah, they are mor important

olive raven
#

And gets you damage to most specialists

fading vale
hollow hazel
#

What about the devils claw 4, savage sweep and rampage or shred with savage sweep? Or am i off beat?

next trench
#

scoreboard mod is weird sometimes

#

how am i not highest total

olive raven
olive raven
ember yew
#

i would remove other stuff later if possible

next trench
#

because i was full hp the whole time

#

only actually needed med station once kekW

ember yew
#

but why it said you used it 5 times

#

just ignore it then

next trench
#

its leftover

#

like jump to next area

fading vale
#

IIRC over toughness counts for HP damage at least on an older scoreboard

next trench
#

better to heal that 20 hp than just leave it there an move on

#

never know when you gonna survive 2 hp

violet hornet
#

I'm fairly sure the number of health stations used on the scoreboard ticks up when you start using one rather than finish, so starting and stopping before actually healing counts as a heal on the scoreboard

hollow hazel
#

Is this pattern bad?
I am considering to take deathblow 4 from this weapon to put it on a IX instead. But the blessings are so good, same with the base stats

next trench
#

deathblow on that sword is good i think

hollow hazel
#

But this one has wierd animations

sharp zodiac
#

Our vet has his tag marked onto the fire button

hollow hazel
#

Maby i should just keep it and wait for it to become meta in june XD

ember yew
#

havent seen those for like 2 weeks+

#

its hella annoying

sharp zodiac
#

So everytime he saw a single thing it's just tag tag tag tag

#

Other than that I'm enjoying the knives

#

With more practice I'll get the hang of these things

sharp zodiac

First game on was a lot better than I imagined with the knives, I really just need to aim higher and stop hesitating on whether or not it'll hit just because the knives have a nice hitbox on enemies

It is quite literally the meta

hollow hazel

Best elite TTK, 2nd best horde clear compared to the IX by only two swings

hollow hazel

He put one of the best weapons below pre buff chain axe

I got a decent HS6 from a mission and liked it. Bought the other marks and went "wait...the 6 is goated fuck these other ones"

olive raven
#

Put headtaker on that sword and do crit to maniac

#

And you gave a good sword

frank night
ornate bone
#

Does the hs6 have horizontal heavies?

olive raven
#

Like deathblow allows for the first target to hit like

#

2 or 4 times

#

Can’t remember

olive raven
#

So it deals full damage to 4 targets

ornate bone
#

hs9 is goated because it haa everything in the moveset

How is this a bleed knife without any bleed blessings

But that's any knife

it's good without finesse on bleed /=/ finesse is a passable stat to have low

next trench

scroll up a little

copper hawk
next trench
#

its good ON THIS SHANK

flat marsh
#

Yeah kinda icky

lean lark
#

no it isn't

#

low finesse is never good

next trench
#

on the bonk oneshot one its good to have high finesse

flat marsh
#

Less finesse is less attack speed so you get less bleed

next trench
indigo quartz
#

less finesse is never good

#

that is an objective statement supported by math

#

it can be viable/sufficient, whatever

but its not better than having more of it
