welp

#

let's see what they do in a maelstrom with it

the impact crusher

placid fiber
#

Welp, guys, I did about as well as any level 9 players when you have 2 at least above average skilled players in a high int malice run >.>'

#

Dat Vet was on a roll

#

My poor underleveled non-assail psyker ass was not gonna ever do more damage than a completent players playing as Veteran at level 30 >.>

frosty herald
#

I LOVE BALAM COMPANY!!!!!!!!

placid fiber
placid fiber
# dense field Well of course.

I would like to think I still did pretty good, considering there were 2 competent level 30's and I still got the most boss damage with pretty much just venting, for faster brain bursts, before just brainbursting tf out of the monster >.>

placid fiber
# polar nexus Nerf vet.

No! I say make those aggressive babies even Stronger! As a sign that they will be needed for the Chaos Beast of Ratogre coming soon (rated pending)

dense field
#

competent level 30s don't play malice but a full skill tree and higher base items will make a difference

placid fiber
strange kestrel
#

that is true

dense field
#

I'm not sure about that

#

Especially the player death part

placid fiber
#

I mean I've even done that before, just so I can 1 shot daemonhosts and have an easy run >.>

#

Question what do you guys think, I'm pretty sure the perk might be better but: t4 warp flurry/warp nexus or 25% flak damage on this piece of crap?

#

I like to upgrade my leveling character's gear so leveling with actual trash players is... doable >.>

dense field
#

Damage

placid fiber
#

I mean you know how malice and heresy randoms are...

dense field
#

Very unpredictable!

placid fiber
#

Know what's really sad?

#

I consider heresy pubs to end up being worse generally because they are jumping from malice to heresy but...

#

these malice randoms have been immensily worse than the heresy randoms I usually get x.x

open echo
#

they amount of times i go to push one and someone shoots it

placid fiber
#

Also: what do you guys think of my "Voidstrike" staff?

open echo
placid fiber
#

It is kind of evil that I put the thammer trinket thing on that, but, I love that trinket them so fucking much

placid fiber
#

You did?

open echo
#

yeah :(

placid fiber
#

Those are my thoughts about you missing it 😦

open echo
#

wahh

#

wonder if it will come back in 2024

#

totally not a cope

placid fiber
#

I'm almost able to start making an adequate build on this new psyker... That is with not taking several majorly important talents for assail and toughness...

#

That's how far all my talent points stretch >.>'

dense field
#

almost there

placid fiber
#

After that I'm getting toughness on peril attack kill, both assail talents, and 1 more +15 toughness node

#

Until then I'm sticking with my brain rupture build, because I like being able to vent if I almost blow up instead of doing more overall damage <.<

#

I actually almost blew up this last match, but, my career was ready as it usually is at least...

#

That's so embarrasing since I was a battle wizard main in vt2...

polar nexus
strange kestrel
#

i hate wizard classes

#

in general

#

give me the biggest weapon

placid fiber
#

BW was the one that got me into them

#

when I figured out I could teleport up dead drops... I was in love

#

You still can in some places

strange kestrel
#

give me a big ass gunlance with big ass armor and a big ass shield

#

i am definitely not compensating for anything.

placid fiber
#

So you want the outcast engineer, but, with more armor?

#

They massively buffed that career >.>'

strange kestrel
#

yes

#

the closest thing to a dragonslayer

placid fiber
#

I love the changes they did the battle wizard. Using lingering flames doesn't make me feel like a let down

open echo
#

i want the achievement but i cannot be bothered to lvl oggryn

placid fiber
#

It makes burn tick twice as fast and last forever

open echo
#

ughh

placid fiber
#

and if I get famished flames on top of that in the wastes...? 2x burn damage, 2x tick speed

strange kestrel

missing out on ogryn

It's too calming

And that’s okay

strange kestrel

its therapeutic

shooting 50 bmg throughout the entire match

placid fiber
#

Hell take a 2h hammer or axe on ironbreaker if you fancy that

dense field
#

I cannot cope with these tiny dodge distances

placid fiber
#

Want to dodge? Take the dual hammers!

placid fiber
#

Want explosive weaponry? Take the trollerhammer.

placid fiber
#

with the shield

#

And the temp hp you get from heavy shield bashing... can literally be almost your fulll hp bar if it was +50% hp which is 225

dense field
#

I'm so bad at VT2

open echo
placid fiber
#

and you were at like 20hp when you bashed the dense horde

#

i am confusing myself

placid fiber
strange kestrel

are we talking about dwarves or ogryns

placid fiber
#

Ironbreaker(Dwarves) on vt2

#

It's a bit challenging to get used to, but, I've taken it to cata and legend and it felt fun af

open echo
placid fiber
#

in the wastes I mean

#

my bad I should have clarified that

sullen grotto
#

Is damage resistance on curios good?

placid fiber
#

but bardin as ironbreaker has way more playstyles than a shieldgryn has...

mystic ether
#

thinking of swapping riposte with uncanny but honestly riposte has been putting in work for me regardless as long as I have either precognition or uncanny.

blazing fossil
#

whats best ranged weapon to compliment a crucius? Agri IAG?

strange kestrel
#

riposte is good

placid fiber
# sullen grotto Is damage resistance on curios good?

Gunner? Almost required on front-line characters. Sniper? Nice quality of life if you can't dodge or get shot by a ninja sniper. Mutie resist? No. Poxhound resist? No. Flamer resist? I think people say it's good. Bomber resist? Not 100% sure

strange kestrel
#

if youre getting mileage out of it i dont see why youd swap it out

#

the rending from uncanny is pretty nice tho

placid fiber
#

No matter how well you play... sooner or later a sniper will tag you on damnation

#

the question is: do you want to do over half of your no-hp curio build? or less?

strange kestrel
#

must have

placid fiber
#

And I mean on a zealot, it's nearly half iirc on an ogryn

mystic ether
placid fiber
#

like 130 some damage

open echo
sullen grotto
#

Is gunner damage resistance on all 3 curios good or bad idea?

placid fiber
dense field
placid fiber
#

Chastise works really well with a thammer, but, perfection shroudfield does give you a chance to be able to 1 shot some damnation bosses, with like 4-6 martyrdom stacks... <.<'

#

iirc someone said that even current plague ogryns can be 1 shot by it

#

but you needed like 6 marty stacks

open echo
#

i always top boss damage with chaxe lol, almost always 50k+

dense field
#

You have a 3 sec window to approach the boss, aim, and strike

#

The teammate is probably kiting that boss away

naive star
#

How ammo efficient are flamers, does that 57% kill it?

placid fiber
#

Some weapons are really good for boss damage, including the chainsword(I like bloodletter in case I find monsters or for less revved hits on some elites)

dense field
#

The flamers spend 6-7 ammo to kill any number of lesser enemies

placid fiber
#

I think it lets me 2 shot maulers with no melee damage stacks or rampage and without my career skill... with t3 Bloodletter*

open echo
placid fiber
#

I know other options are better

#

It just is a personal preference, for me

zinc talon
placid fiber

And it does help me

a mauler hit me for 192 health plus toughness

I am so angry I broke a sweat sitting still

strange kestrel

that crusher.

dense field

What were you trying to shoot?

open echo
zinc talon
#

the sniper downstairs

#

I didn't realize there was a third mutant and that mauler came out of noplace

#

was already successfully dodging two of em

#

I had the time to step out and snapshot the dude

dense field
#

You were looking at the mauler at the beginning of your video

zinc talon
#

but, mauler killed me from full health minus 8 hp

#

single hit

dense field

There's 2 of them

and by then he was directly in front of that torch, that matched his armor and visor glow perfectly

Is bolter best ranged weapon for bosses?

Not really

sullen grotto

Revolver then?

dense field
#

What class?

sullen grotto
#

Zealot

dense field
#

Flamer

sullen grotto
#

I always used the flamer on hordes, is it actually good for bosses?

ember yew
#

@dense fielddang how many people today asked for ranged wep against bosses

dense field
#

It's fantastic vs bosses

sullen grotto
ember yew
#

why sudden heart switch

#

welcome tho

sullen grotto
#

Changed from vet when the talent overhaul happened

ember yew
#

well, after the patch vet tree was a great meme

#

but rn its pretty good i guess

sullen grotto
#

Haven't tried the new vet tree rework yet
Been meaning to but just haven't felt like it I guess

ember yew
#

again, i wonder if they got the playtesters beside 4 ogryns

dense field
#

The veteran was never bad tbh.

sullen grotto
#

Been having fun with melee crazed zealot but I find it difficult to get close to bosses without being knocked back all the time so I figured using ranged weapons for the might be better

ember yew
left iron
#

I just use it with almost every ranged weapon

#

And switch around

dense field

ember yew
#

but you'l get it with time

to give yall an idea of what I think of veteran

#

I have 2

ember yew

weak miniogryn?

zinc talon
#

my 4th and 5th slots are a guy and gal vet

#

and they are both rank 1 underwear models for the cosmetics I buy them

#

nothing more

placid fiber
#

Finally I got the dualing sword 4, on my 2nd psyker! 😄

ember yew
#

he run away somewhere

#

got grabbed by dog

#

nobody helped him (i was a bit busy at frontline)

#

and he ragequit

dense field
#

The legend says he's still running somewhere in Dreyko

placid fiber

sigh this is the best crap my leveling credits shop has to offer me from Brunt...

prisma sigil
placid fiber
#

I want a refund! >_<

If you want to git gud enough to solo carry you're gonna get netted or dogged a few times before you make it

Stop

placid fiber

You're gonna get dogged and netted even after reaching that, when caught off guard and you don't react fast enough

Brunt Gives My Leveling Characters Gear That Usually Is Higher Than the stuff from the credits shop. :/

then login to buy 370+

I am level 12 my dude

zinc talon
#

oh, right on man wasn't diggin on ya

Brunt has always given me the highest rated weapons over the credits shop xD

prisma sigil

I see account dashboard, redeem code, and twitch drops

placid fiber
#

for lowbies

prisma sigil
#

Where's this brunt stuff at

zinc talon
#

they finally added a voice line to the cutscenes that hadron I think says brunt's gear is all total garbage and not to expect anything useful

dense field
zinc talon
#

before people just thought they had bad luck

ember yew
zinc talon

which they did

cuz it was and still is rigged

Lmao poor

placid fiber
dense field
#

I autobuy and autodiscard Brunt's trash

when I want something

placid fiber
#

I only do it when I'm desperate for a specific thing x.x

placid fiber
#

So... how much potential does this thammer have that Hadron is going to completely ruin and break my soul over?

zinc talon
#

not a lot

prisma sigil
#

346 is a pretty low base rating but 41% defence isn't actually a big deal

zinc talon
#

stats are great, thrust 3 will walk hand in hand with you every match every tier

prisma sigil
#

That's a surprisingly phat hammer

zinc talon
#

carapace might not even be necessary

#

go to the psykanium tier 5 practice arena

#

and smack the crushers with your hardest hitting stuff

placid fiber
# zinc talon not a lot

I mean if I got t4 slaughterer or headtaker, and maybe 25% flak as the 2nd blessing and perk...?

left iron
zinc talon
#

heh

#

I will trade you 2 diamond for 1 plasteel

left iron
#

I, uh

zinc talon
left iron
#

Have 120k diamantine

zinc talon
#

my offer still stands

left iron
#

Sure why not

#

Im sure diamantine will be useful eventually

dense field
#

Soon it will be very useful

mystic ether
#

forgot about this one and it works good enough for my needs currently. some people mentioned slaughterer and skullcrusher. If I'm going to be running with this on a shroudfield setup, I'm thinking slaughterer is what I want right? Too much stagger after a minute isn't needed for me I feel.

zinc talon
#

well I was gonna do some art of the deal meme but I can't find one without trump's saggy skinsuit as the picture

dense field
zinc talon
#

and I aint bringin that vibe into the channel

#

but

#

art of the deal

zinc talon
zinc talon
#

it will lay stacks every hit on every enemy hit

#

but if the enemy you're hitting right now isn't in the process of stagger-ing

#

they do not apply

mystic ether
#

Sort of like um

#

what's that shit in vt2

#

smiter or something

zinc talon
#

yeah

#

so skullcrusher pairs best with high impact opening attacks

mystic ether
#

Weird that that's a whole ass blessing but whatever.

zinc talon
#

to give you the time while they're laid out to kill em before they get back on their feet

#

so to best utilize it, you'd need to modify your muscle memory to make your opening gambit an attack that lays out as many targets as you need to lay out

mystic ether
#

Less worried about the possibility of whatever I'm fighting getting back up at that point. If I'm not doing it someone else will pretty quickly. Currently getting more solid at sitting around in heresy before I move my kits into damnation and finally aurics.

zinc talon
#

with the space after that action to follow up with big heavy nukes

#

headtaker's much less frantic in that regard

mystic ether
#

so whatever is new now especially after these difficulty upticks idk

zinc talon
#

yep my metric for success is how quickly can I assplant them, and what % of the time are they dead before they can get back up on their feet

mystic ether
#

Game definitely feels harder with the new spawn rate for lower level content. Heresy kind of feels like where damnation sat at before the overhaul changes.

zinc talon
#

oneshot two tap breakpoints are just sweaty nerd math

#

lay em out and cast lifen't

mystic ether
#

no idea what aurics feel like these days :U

zinc talon
#

honestly regular maelstroms can be more painful

#

cuz of the director

#

aurics are the place to queue though

#

the orbit of players that're matching there are the cream of the crop

mystic ether
zinc talon
#

both skill wise and with regards to personality

#

sure

#

but for instance

mystic ether
#

I guess. I never put much stake in it by the time I was clearing them semi-consistently solo and regularly with friends.

zinc talon
#

how to tell if you need this damage or that ability on your weapon

#

OR THIS setup

#
  1. head to meat grinder
#
  1. bonk enemy in question with hardest bonk
mystic ether
#

I know all this stuff ngl

zinc talon
#
  1. bonk again with second best
#

and on down

prisma sigil
zinc talon
#

yep I'm just spelling it out for the channel mostly

mystic ether
prisma sigil
#

That's like one weapon

zinc talon
#

GOD HOW DO YOU NOT BUY EVERYTHING

#

THE VENDOR HAS GREENS EVERYH OUR

#

DO OYU NOT HAV MEEME GEAR

#

I wouldn't know what to do with that wallet frankly

prisma sigil
#

I got what I need already

mystic ether
#

Usually with this game you don't even need to super eyeball the math if you're the type to just keep practicing how things work out in the psykanium then just burning through things in actual runs when you're already experienced with those scenarios. I pretty much almost never really use the hyper popular stuff (at least soem things since knife stealth builds are pretty common and I like e 🙂 )

prisma sigil
#

I hover around 80k because I buy the gear for a new build and then I play like 30 damnations without spending anything

zinc talon
#

preach

prisma sigil
#

Idk wtf people spend their ordos on

mystic ether
#

even before llearning about really nice blessing combos, I ran like, several weapons that were either "god rolls" or just alternatives to those rolls that worked just as well.

zinc talon
#

I've used the slab almost exclusively since day 1

#

before it was revamped

#

before it was revamped again

#

and I am a crusher afficionado with bolter flamer depending for the zealot

prisma sigil
#

I was gonna try a bunch of new builds but I fell in love with the first one I tried so I havent even tried any new ones since

#

1h axe, chastise, knives

mystic ether
# prisma sigil Idk wtf people spend their ordos on

Weapon crisis spending. I do it all the time. You play with one weapon then jump to another then sometimes save weapons over but maybe get something that completely makes that weapon not even worth the investment, spot farming for the consecration pump and hoping you have time to do your melk buck quests.

It's very irritating that progression works like this on average in these kinds of games.

zinc talon
#

heh

prisma sigil
#

Just endlessly charging and spamming light attacks

zinc talon
#

that doesn't compute at all from where I'm sitting

prisma sigil
#

I'm getting fucking carpal tunnel but it's so fun

zinc talon
#

Slab, ripper 6/gauntlet, rock, taunt

mystic ether
prisma sigil
#

Nah fuck knives

zinc talon
#

crusher, chainaxes, bolter, flamer, stun, corruption, bible thump for zealot

mystic ether
#

That punch followup is actually really nasty, just takes too long sometimes in shittier clusters.

prisma sigil
#

I use this guys build, I love the stuff he makes

zinc talon
#

I really wasn't expecting that process for the rock, I'm amazed by just how much room there is for finesse with it

#

and good god, smite on the psucker

sullen grotto
#

Is the corruption cleansing aura good?

zinc talon
#

I doubt I'll ever even try the other two

prisma sigil
#

And it is a super fun to play build even if it's not super OP

zinc talon
#

I swear by it, yeah

#

it keeps the team 100% shipshape

mystic ether
#

Only kind of weapon I just care zero fucks for is the heavy sword so far. eventually that power fantasy gets stale for me (even though I'm literally doing the same thing but hohohohoho I go for )backstabs by sharking mobs when I can.

zinc talon
#

and in high tier high intensity runs that can be the difference

#

it's easy to miss I suppose but just take a look at your purple the next couple elevators out when you finish your missions

mystic ether
#

That's honestly the cooler part of knife builds for me in these games. Same with dual daggers. Although in VT2, dual daggers on kerillian is actually kind of hard. You really not allowed to make a lot of mistakes by comparison to anything safer.

zinc talon
#

everyone's shouldering a quarter, a third of their health in purple without even blinking

#

it only becomes a concern at like two thirds or more

#

but corruption aura completely nopes that entire idea

#

two fuckin thirds of your health, nah

prisma sigil
#

For some reason I thought you meant the combat blade

mystic ether
#

I do.

prisma sigil
#

Yeah I love throwing knives

mystic ether
#

I use both.

prisma sigil
#

I love the axe

mystic ether
#

And play shmoovy as hell since that's literally the only way to make knife builds work. need to actually lean into the adhd.

prisma sigil
#

I love that while whacking away at shit I can throw a knife at a problems head

zinc talon
#

stun grenade hijinks squad here

#

bible thump and stun grenades with a high power output crusher give you like, three nopes a minute you can cash in for 5 to 15 seconds of breathing room

#

allows you yourself to control the pace of the entire mission for the team

mystic ether
#

I might actually consider taking the totem super since I'm actually making use of crit builds.

zinc talon
#

the melee crit 1.5 sec cooldown with a cleave weapon makes bible thump a joy

#

just get something quick that can hit 4 targets reliably and quickly

mystic ether
#

I just never gave a shit about it after a sec. Doesn't help that I just don't care about the light magic aesthetics in this game.

blazing fossil
#

lul that boss damage

zinc talon
#

and you can shave 10% off the cooldown timer per swing

mystic ether
#

Get to play my little rinky dink zealous assassin though.

#

so that's cool

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

zinc talon
#

my next yeehaw hooraw is gonna be some bastardized toughness regen loner kiting offtank

#

yall know if there's a zealot weapon that reaches the 'furthest' in terms of weapon swing reach distance or are they all more or less identical

mystic ether
#

Hilariously enough for me, I have ah ard time thinking of zealot builds since the tree is just that straightforward that I underestimate just how much the class is pumping out on its own

zinc talon
#

the crusher's got some length to it

mystic ether
#

So I actually have been missing out on some cool zealot stuff despite it being my secondary class next to vet.

zinc talon
#

lemme tempt you

mystic ether
#

you can just dump clips of fun stuff

#

I'm easily impressed most of hte time.

#

Bonus points for anything running shroudfield.

zinc talon
mystic ether
#

what's this for?

zinc talon
#

the middle is dealer's choice

#

but that at the top and bottom

mystic ether
#

Is this meant to be a skeleton that works with the broad spectrum of melee weapons and whatever ranged stuff that's functional?

zinc talon
#

it's meant to be a max movement speed max stacking damage crit build for weapons that take a swing or two to ramp up anyway

mystic ether
#

I actually enjoy momentum but piety pulls ahead for safer, equally as fun builds.

zinc talon
#

things that use rampage, headtaker, skullcrusher

#

plus you're sitting at 65% crit or more depending on the weapon

#

so gear that enjoys large increases to weakspot and crit suddenly benefit from both of those mostly underused perks

#

like the crusher, evis, chain axes

#

prolly your axe too

mystic ether
#

I'd probably be tempted to run this with a chainaxe/sword or eviscerator. So far the only gun that I have that's working atm with what I got is my revolver.

shy river
#

What melees are people using with momentum anyways, I haven't really experimented with that node yet

mystic ether
#

And outside of shroudfield, having a solid setup of perks and blessings for the thunder hammers in general feels good. It's funny too when you just run up out of nowhere and send a mauler or crusher into a wall or off into an abyss.

crude lake
#

Evis is also fine for momentum

#

The first hit procs momentum, from there you just go ham.

#

I pretty much play exclusively crit builds now, they’re just so strong.

mystic ether
#

Never tried it most of my eviscerator experience is the pre-overhaul zealot so martyrdom interactions and all that.

Love the weapon, just haven't done anything different with one.

crude lake
#

Shroudfield and chorus are fun every now and then

zinc talon
mystic ether
#

Shroudfield eviscerator isn't something I'd say is the move but it's certainly a move. Looks cool in my head too. 😎

zinc talon
#

^these are the recent picks that meshed really well with the setup I';m describing

#

a high finesse 1h chainsword prolly shines too I just don't get much time in the seat with one

crude lake
#

The name of that axe made me laugh

zinc talon
#

because of all the damage increases you're double and triple dipping on

crude lake
#

A chainsword is nuts in crit builds

zinc talon
#

well I'm just gonna say it

crude lake
#

It 1 shots muties, mows through hordes and does incredible boss damage.

#

Weapon is crazy good

mystic ether
#

It definitely wasn't what it felt like before.

#

Which is great. Ugh...

zinc talon
#

a max finesse, max pen high damage standard mobility dump shredder Xiiiiig

#

with both weak spot and critical damage increases

#

then rely on shred and bleed to get you critting

#

and aim face

#

use the cleave loops

#

l1 l2 h3 and push attack h3 l l l l l

#

save shredder for just when you need to freeze an enemy or nuke a boss

#

fuck it I'm building one

crude lake
#

Chain sword is easy too, just H1 H2. Special action if you need to 1 shot a mutie

dense field

#

dat's me

mystic ether
#

You do get the speed from it, very true.

zinc talon
#

oh from movement?

mystic ether
#

Speed zealot gaming.

I'm also sorely lacking that 10% sprint and dodge

you're also lacking second wind

transcend to crusher

which you could get by sacrificing 20% infested and unyielding dmg + emperor's bullet or whatever the one above purge the unclean is

#

you would also get more toughness out of it

zinc talon
#

nah

#

I'd swap off backstab entirely

mystic ether
#

Busy stm but drop a talent spread so I can see what that'd look like.

I'm absolutely the type to have a bunch of stacked movement. As long as I'm not falling behind with my dmg output I see speed as a resource pool because I'm goofy like that.

It has nothing to do with me being a dex fiend and just playing a lot of movement-oriented games

and keep my damage

Ive been using marty on my support flamer build can flamer do good with a crit build? Ive been thinking of switching to left keystone

fiery ingot

its

complicated

its satisfying because you're beheading everything in your way

a crit on flamer is 2 burn stacks instead of 1

in vermintide i used to play only the spammable melee weapons and it was fun, until i got boring of axe and falchion, sword and mace and double hammers and decided more based weapons, so i understand completely how it is. i think its only a matter of time until i get to that same stage again in this game

Honestly Crusher is just stack stam regen and spam pushstabs for single target, and lights spam or light>heavy2 for horde

royal vortex

ironhelm is super basic and functions like a less fluid psword with more accessible boss damage

why does the cleave hammer have a heavy overhead

Unchained ult from 0% ult is only 70% of your heatlh bar, so you just run flame sword and pimp slap your way to full white health

the all or nothing nature of push blocking

fiery ingot
#

man i miss that

frosty herald
#

Vt2 and darktide are different games

fiery ingot
#

maybe thats why im liking crusher so much

zinc talon
#

although darktide could stand to learn from how silly useless block is in this title for a vast vast overwhelming majority of situations

#

oh

#

yall

#

just to make sure everyone's playing at the same speed

#

when your stamina hits 0%, and something hits you and shatters your guard

#

that's not the end of your blocking

#

it then becomes a quick time event

#

where every further block re-breaks your guard, but if you time your rmb to get it back up in time

#

you can essentially block forever at 0% stamina

fiery ingot
#

wait wat

zinc talon
#

you just have to reset your guard after every hit

sour sierra
#

Huh?

fiery ingot
#

as in

golden anchor
#

mash it after you get guard broken basically lol

fiery ingot
#

oh

sour sierra
#

U can still get hit

#

If ur stamina breaks in vt2

fiery ingot
#

oh you're talking about vt2

sour sierra
#

Try to tank a vermin patrol lmao and see how effective block spamming is

fiery ingot
#

i thought you were talking about dt for some reason

golden anchor
#

just run a dual melee class and put parry on both weapons lol

#

spam swap=infinite block

#

don't recommend that actually but parry is pretty good in vt2 for the dual melee classes

#

swift slaying on 1 weap and parry on the other

zinc talon
#

nope

#

I meant here in darktide

fiery ingot
#

so you are talking about dt

zinc talon
#

yis

golden anchor
#

doesn't feel as applicable because cant block mauler overheads in this game lol

sour sierra
#

Parry is useless if ur class or boon doesnt play around it

zinc talon
#

and just for that reason

golden anchor
#

although I guess if you run around like a monkey you'll be at lower stamina

zinc talon
#

I made sure to include a crusher

#

to show how you can

golden anchor
#

zzz shield

#

gtfo with that shit lol

steep flame
#

tarkov arena is fun

#

bsg finally makes a fun game

also with shield you can just brace anyways

nobody's bracing these days, carol

I just happened to be on okri, the same thing can be done on hatch with the crusher

hushed agate

I brace

golden anchor
#

brace jump is a pretty funny meme lol

hushed agate
#

Nerd

fiery ingot
#

i know nothing about ogryns and their weapons except that i want to build one to make it look like riddick but how does that works exactly? you like spam block when your stam gets depleted and you end up blocking without being staggered by blocking at 0 stam?

golden anchor
#

jump forward and spam brace is free way to block while moving in on gunners

zinc talon
#

yeah sugu

#

the same mechanic is at play for every class

fiery ingot
#

oh thats nuts

zinc talon
#

it's just the shield does a better job of soaking damage

#

you can see a couple times I blocked crusher overheads with very lil to no stamina

onyx solar
#

what are the ideal blessings for a columnus iag?

#

deathspitter and dumdum?

zinc talon
#

because I timed the block

zinc talon
fiery ingot

interesting, so it works like a parry of sorts then

golden anchor
#

Dumdum+fire frenzy/deathspitter for damage, stripped down is good for mobility

#

Columnus just good out of the box though

fiery ingot
#

if only i were good at parrying sadrodeo

onyx solar
#

gotcha

fiery ingot
#

id play sekiro

onyx solar

sekiro trains you to parry

you'll be so good at parrying you'll do it while shopping

fiery ingot

and beat malenia with a lvl 1 naked character

onyx solar
#

watch it when the cashier hands you your change..

fleet zealot
#

you already avoid ranged fire while sprinting at an angle as long as you don't have 0 stam

#

stripped down is more for sheer speed or I guess dead running into shooter rooms

zinc talon
#

it's also useful for when you start to get shot up

#

and can just nyooom away

#

back to behind the melee squadmates

north sedge
#

🤔

fiery ingot
#

do you also count as sprinting for the purpose of meeting the proc requirement of that blessing when you sprint slide?

zinc talon
#

already getting incoming fire at the corner you're about to round? nyoom across the street to cover and begin again

fleet zealot
#

double tap dodge or slide

golden anchor
#

you already take no ranged damage while sliding so spamming slide probably just extends your invuln period to geting shot

frozen ibex

since you conserve stamina while sliding

fiery ingot

oh you dont take damage while sliding? i never noticed it before

"better horde clear"

zinc talon
#

chances are, it's only a few seconds' difference

#

given everyone's swinging away too

frozen ibex
#

Yeah and you can crit a few times then move on.

zinc talon
#

a good way to decide this is to go into the t5 meat grinder

#

with your weapon as is

fleet zealot
#

or just get debuff counter mod

zinc talon
#

and whallop a damnation crusher hard as you can

#

and see if it falls short or not

fleet zealot
#

so you know when you hit 16 stacks

frozen ibex
#

1 crit with double bleed blessing will kill all elites barring melee elites.

zinc talon
#

if they have less than 25% health, swap to carapace and you have your answer

frozen ibex
#

So you can dive elite shooters horde.

#

Crit dreg/scab gunner once then move to the next.

zinc talon
#

all I'm saying is the determinant here is how long they're bleeding for

#

I submit that it is not long enough to warrant the opportunity cost

frozen ibex

No they won't die if it's another knife hit.

#

or lean into the fan the flames revamp

#

and coat the hall or room quickly

#

then puff puff puff to keep everything cowering and suppressed or on the floor writhing

#

the flamer is also an excellent way to shut down medium ranged everything while you close the gap to engage in melee

#

on the second puff most all ranged specials are jostled enough to stop shooting

and standard infantry just sit down and go nuuuuuu nunununuuuuuuuublarg
