In spots like America, you really do have the more prevailing problem of well, Americans.

Which more of a generational policy harm than individual.
Bro really picked the hardest difficulty in life.
More like it picked him
If you're gonna bait at least be good at it
People play everything
No that's the standard take I think. Momentum is 20/20 for damage and attack speed at its best. Martyrdom only hits 20% attack speed when you're down five wounds and at the cost of an extra node.
worst fisherman ever
Now I remember why I barely come in here anymore.
You really do see some of the most hot dog water tier takes in here.
The flounder are unamused with the small amount of bait
That's a VT2 zealot cult follower if I've ever seen one 
Just talk shit about combat knives.

Please don't hurt me with words like this.
It's too early.
Guys wanna see a jellyfish cat
Damn right
I mean go for it.
You atleast use uncanny with your bleed knife right?

Is it real
No
Riposte preferably.
chat is this real
Rat yoy fuck
But uncanny is just free.

WHY
Luna you shoulda posted sooner
I won't lie to you doc
I WAS FINDING IT
It's backstab
Show me when it's real
I was expecting something weird
I'll go discover one just for you
But I wasnt' expecting that
LUNA YOU KNOW IM LURKING AND GONNA LOOK STUFF UP FAST
One of them is. Correction. Two.
same
One is on vet so it doesn't even count.
oh god
Get out of my window
RABID

The other is being saved as blessing fodder unless I get a weaker knife.
You're scaring my cat


And I will continue to set up horde backstabbing as I please/will.

What the fuck?

@gray ice I’m somehow too normal for this chat, help
I have a mallet that says otherwise

You can't save it
The mallet that saved ballin gate
Nah, I ain’t lying
I just ut off pieces of cheese.
I could never lie about that
That's it
I know I’m a weird mf but
Thats all I have to do.
So you spray it on people, gotcha
We chose the Nurgle route in my country.
What spray cheese costs less than a block of fuck all cheddar?
Whomzsts?
spray cheese is awful
I think it was a fevor dream
:c
Spray cheese is like
as I cant find it
$3
That's part of the fun.
Maybe shit just different where I'm at.
i used to put it on tabasco cheeze its
Spray always been up compared to like cheese cuts or blocks.
Cigarettes for this cheap as fuck brand go for 10 dollars now.
Better off just buying a gram of whatever the fuck weed than that.
if there was a cheese wiz zealot build what would it be?
Cheese what
Anything with evis and heavy sword.
Wizard?
Ritz cracker throwing knives
Marty DR
Flamer that shoots cheese wiz obviously
ah yes, zealot chat, always a place of intelligent and nuanced discussion related to the video game Warhammer 40k: Darktide
They should just remove the knives and add a 3rd grenade, imo
I mean, I'd eat that.
Drink your legs.
Now.
Nay
Spody knife
they should add spody knife
Damn. I couldn't see it coming.
Auric damn aint a place to be throwing legos at my enemies broskie
I disagree. I love the knives. They've helped me out of a lot of situations where I'm being hosed by a gunner and I've got no ammo to retaliate.
Its a good combo with flamer
Pretty good dog frog
I'll do it. Was fine when I did
Stepping on legos hurts alot
Me eating the most processed meal imaginable
Also thats a good argument, flamer does kinda need them
Maybe buff em then
Punchthrough, more damage
easy to count calories when meal is processed
Oh i bet @hushed knoll would love this
Thanks i know im spectacular
hard for you guys to believe
This?

yaes C:

Can I at least have the 15% toughness on dodge node moved to the center or the left
Please dad
is gud node
I am not your father. No.
but my friend told me to try darktide crafting again .... i feel like he is a dev:
He might be

what the fuck are those stats

Whenever I feel bad about the zealot tree, I look at Psyker's tree and feel better.
Zealot tree is good, just weird af
PLACE YOUR BETS
It took me forever to dial this class in
SPIN. THAT. TECHPRIEST!
I'm legit fucking jealous of vet blitz node s
Mfs about to gamble their house away for a god roll weapon
i need materials
Patch 13 vet tree is the best one
You jelly of smoke?
Ah, you don't have enough money to buy in to the table.
Krak and Frag are great
Throwing knives is better than smoke. Slow down.
least they can pick whatever they want
I will say I'd rather have throwing knives over smoke at least...
Throwing knife definitely better than smoke
Smokes a joke no toke
They're not.
But thats like saying a scooter is better than being in a wheelchair
Or was it The drippings meal
I'm not going further than that. I'm not built for it. I just use them regularly.
sometimes you just play stealth zealoth vet with smoke grenades in auric and see how quickly you can make your team fail from not helping them at all and smoking their vision constantly
its fine
I eat that food paste from fallout 4 you already know
Most of the time they just die before I have anything to do with anything and then I clutch or fuck up.
I feel like smoke's okay-ish if you're like, a melee vet and you are dropping it at your feet. But I wanted CSGO smokes where I do like, crowd control stuff. Downside to that is it pissess your team off something fierce when the gunners they're targeting suddenly ninja vanish
Then somehow I get blamed even though my name is showing up for every specialist in the specialist gauntlet somehow.
Last time i had a smoke vet they just threw them at our feet repeatedly during the finale so we couldn't see shit
Last time I had a smoke vet they ran off, died, and left the game
You're taking a selfish, mostly not as immediately effective tool for a very specific function that's already limited in its reach and output. You literally have to force smokes to matter by the time they've already been off for a second or you've done nothing.
whatever regardless of how effective smokes or knives are having your nodes look like this is betta than this
Wait, I thought you were pro smoke?
Just get cooldown reduction talents and stealth with melee vet
Otherwise you're just literally blowing smoke and doing nothing with it. Then compounding the vision issues people get.
You think I won't criticize my tools?
cause sometimes I just want to be able to pick what blitz I want
For sure, no arguments here
Fair enough
Tell us cat stare enthusiast finnlaidicuye lyfe sheets how does this milestone make you feel?
I have like 0 points getting no stun heavy attacks and the 15% dodge on toughness perks
(I consider both damn near mandatory)
I must reach 700 by the end of this month somehow
I need controversial takes in the chat, stat
Honestly, what's fucked up. I genuinely see stun grenades in the same vein as smoke grenades. Both are duds beyond their brief enemy effect.
Crit hammer OP
I am just glad we've got options. Psykers... they only have like 20 blue nodes.
The boltgun on Zealot is a sub par weapon because it's just a revolver with ungodly amounts of sway.
hot take delivered

If you're not doing anything, the best you can hope for is to just buy time for another action.
I mean the way their tree is shaped tho and how good some of those nodes are
its kind of easy to get what you want
me and you when we scuba divin' and we find Atlantis

Thats not controversial
What other hot takes do I have...

The shotguns objectively suck donkey
Knives > Stun imo. None better than combustion nades, of course, but the burst potential of knives is greater than the stuns meager stun.
Pinging isn't good because it takes too long to ping enemies .moving all the time.
And desperately need a buff
Have a bear being americanized
Hot take, knife vet is a actively choosing to harm you team's chance of success.
^ True tho
or...well whatever-ized
Cold take, that vet isn't strong enough and you're hurting over it.
Aye, and that's not good. I want so many good nodes, I have to make a hard choice or two.
At least rev it up chainsaw vet will clear hordes
You will never recover.
Er
Chainsaw zealot
He'll zip around like he's tweaking on cocaine like knife zealot
But he kills stuff at least
I sure do love me perfect strike on me hswards
Knife vet isn't the worst thing but I really would rather do that kind of thing on zealot.
Gonna have to drink something like this bear now. Thanks
It's actually harder on the execution by comparison.
Sorry i was in the kitchen
Huh? Vet is plenty strong, Voc is probably one of the best abilities in the game, and they have so much free damage and dr vet is perfectly fine
zealot is to
Knife encourages bad behavior mid game
all classes are fine

Whenever I see knife on vet or psyker, I assume they're primarily using it for repositioning.
No, poor fundamentals make the inspired risk taking worse.
Removing the knife would visibly improve the game experience of most players
(also these are my hot takes)
Oh i see nevermind you said "that" vet
Fueling our cat here
oof
Without that base for your play, you are straight up more dangerous trying to go for things than going slower.
Tbh just use rev it up chainsword then
Yeah np I meant that veteran player specifically.
Chord
Does basically same job imo
I'd also never take voc on knife vet.
Just better
It's probably fine but I hate voc so. :^>
I feel knife is victim of dunning-kreugar players. Folks who think they're pro AF but really they am ASS.
The hidden strength of knife is that it effects your total mobility score, which I would bet 90% of players dont realize that both mob scores effect your movement speeds
at the same time
Sort of.
Sweet mission offer, needed both of those blessings
Nice, grats
eh uncanny is strong, but I would take the level 4
Too bad can only take one, Precog i guess
like precog higher ranked and hunt for another uncanny
Max Precog is better, I roll uncanny pre often on knives tbh
Just buy green knives off the market
Knife when you're genuinely trying to push more out of it is going require you to be more active with your decisions and mobile with your opportunities.
There are more people that are completely wrapped up in playing with safe builds that they cannot play risky.
Upgrade once
Was my first Hi-Intensity Damnation, so feels nice when getting rewarded too
They've never taken enough risks to learn.
I think its just positionally inferior for your team
And also, as a knife person, you can just do better with a different weapon, still play risky and get more efficiency completed.
You could be with them and clearing, covering an angle for your shooters
Everyone I talk to dissess mobility HARD. I don't know if this is because they only see movement linearly or if they simply consider it the weakest link in the chain and not worth sacrificing anything else. Which means they hate mobility more than stagger/impact which is funny to me.
Yeah so I'm fucking dumb
Or you could be wibble woobling out in the distance doing fuck all
I'll say it: most people are their own positional opposition.
Strictly from my pub auric experience.
Turns out there was a Wendy's on a right turn that I could've WALKED to
I didn't even need to order
I would make the argument here on knife that alot of people played it when 75% dr build was a thing during the closed and early beta "aka" most of last year and that the reason so many of us dont use it because we learned what it had to teach in terms of gameplay and decided we liked other weapons better after that knowledge. Like HS 6 or HS 9 or Thammer
I feel validated, being that I experience this in pub aurics mostly
Fuck it, doubling down: you got a lot of people that use strong builds to compensate for their poor play. The moment they lose those builds in any way or they're slightly less effective they shit themselves.
I'm not even going for throats. I've just seen it so much
I find it hard to make this class work for me outside of 1 or 2 very specific builds
Lol its fine I know where I am and I'm relatively okay with it
Dead ass seeing peoples gear, God rolls and all and they can't manage a mixed horde for shit.
Mind you, 'Getting it to work' for me is a higher standard than others
Let alone, you know, change targets that matter, ping, fucking actually support each other as necessary, etc.
Giving 150% more than the average player in that slot is what I consider 'working'
Isn't this Tide games in a shellnut though? Only masochists play them to get good, and they're off doing like, true solo challenge runs and junk. I am not sure how one would otherwise seperate the skill of the player from the power of the build?
Via horde clear, clearing specials, threat management, etc
I found I can't do that if I don't take the heavy attack doesnt stun talent, and the dodge 15% toughness talent
I get kicked around without those two too easily
You don't need to be a masochist to enjoy builds and playstyles that inspire more active decision making let alone functional risk taking.
So many builds for veteran for example revolve around just being so fucking terrified of meaningless dmg that you really do got people that cannot life without voc.
Straight up.
Masochists play Vermintide 2 on Cataclysm
I disagree with the ping bit, if I can ping it I can generally kill it, I dont ping often unless I cant imedately remove it from the board. TBh supporting your team in pugs seems to be basically, kill every special before they get a chance to kill your pugs.
Darktide is a considerably more fair game
It's not that bad. :y
lol
I respect it but damn, idk how yall do it
I have trouble with legend on VT2, but I can clear auric damn consistently on darktide
Its those damn slave rats in vt2
Instantly poke me to death
Vt2 cata is chill
Vermintide is a bit tricky
Welcome :3
In the most vague way, yes. I'm just saying that for a lot of pubs I've played in for aurics the majority of failures was mostly odf the backs of people not realizing they didn't have the ability to barrel into a pocket horde and return in time to not get sectioned off by the rest of the huge horde.
Small example, but you definitely ought to know better at that point running aurics not to do that unless you actually will clear it.
I ping to just keep track of something if it isn't already lilled by me or something else.
You can't sprint away from shit, most classes can't spam guns and the way the game handles ping delays shit like blocking and dodging
I can handle most every other threat in VT2, but the basic horde units obliterate my hp bar
Play mgs and you will have the situational awareness and the comedic timing to never have to order a burger again
vt2 cata is fun
So many relevant enemies that can end up in clusterfucks just not getting marked.
Time to play the elf and just spam hagbane

I think VT2 would be instantly better if I wanted to play outside of my own immediate vicinity and didn't get slapped by every single slaverat through my block because "well, actually you didn't send the block information to the server in time"
People aren't shy about pinging. Let alone meaningful pings.
So imagine having to block a fifth of a second earlier
I felt no reason to go above Legen in VT2 as the game didnt reward it in anyway
You gotta be better. No shade
Yeah thats what keeps getting me

15 ragers spawn
Pskyer: PING. PING. PING. PING. PING. PING. PING. PING. PING. PING.
Instant gibbed by slave rats with sticks
Down.
Darktide I just block at any point before the attack hits and the magic happens
Darktide the npcs attack with proper telegraphs and wind ups
:0
The servers are ass, but Fatshark did make it so that I don't get utterly fucked by ping and I'm forever thankful for that
Yeah
isn't temp health really dumb or something
Yep
Very
It's toughness but for your health
Its one reason, that and the toughness system, I really prefer darktide
dummy stupid
i like vt2 but i also can't be assed to get a bunch of characters to level 30 again so i can't really pick it up more than once in a blue moon with friends
It doesn't work like toughness but it is your health generator. And ideally, any build that's spinning well enough will be able to Gen temp hp easily.
And you can trade hits to recharge your ability, so mercenary can shout for THP, eat a hit and reduce the cooldown to shout again
Barring like elite/special killer builds with headshot generation for thp
want another carry? 
You need to be more consistent for that.
Longbow Keri my beloved
Some people also eat overheads on classes that can to recharge the ability
maybe one day
It's a very interesting mechanic and I love the game to death, but holy shit that ping issue pisses me the fuck off
Im.not saying like spam ping lol
Josho will never play with me again 
I play like I play in Darktide when I'm on something like 30 or 40 ping
We agree on that a hella lot
#_#
just say so, then i'll redownload
But on 200 ping, Darktide is perfectly playable aside from a wonky light attack animation on two
And Vermintide is downright impossible
lmfao
200 ping darktide feels like ass, it was much worse before patch 13 though
When I lag in this game it's fucked but with vt2 I usually just d/c
Eh, I played 300 ping cata
I mean, it's not great great, but you at least can protect yourself
high ping DT pre patch 13, like half the animations wouldnt work
The way I noticed, if you block in DT with 200 ping it has the same effect as 30
I just have good internet and play all my games at 20 ping
Just use normal dodge/block pattern
Oh, the animations are bad, but at least the game recognizes what you're trying to do in the end
good times
it's easier on high ping if you use a braindead weapon but god using a hammer on high ping makes me want to die sometimes
If an enemy attacks you from behind, you can block it just before it connects and it'll be a block at 30 or 200 ping
plus you don't really need to block in DT so
Is the knife the only good option for fast single target stuff?
On Vermintide it's a guaranteed hit at 200 ping unless you can compensate for the ping number
And at that point you need to be basically inhuman
my favorite is when the game starts queuing up the wrong attack because of high ping
and its like bro pls
You can go faster.
And hit other targets at the same time.
If you care about that
it depends if you mean fast as in crackhead swing speed
HS6 or HS9 are decent vs anything that isnt carapace, still have great horde clear and decent movespeed
my favorite zealot chat post of all time is the dude who posted a taxe and was like "now i can be the ultimate cracklot"
cracklot is the most unflattering build name ive ever heard of
I remember when my wifi had these god-awful moments in Darktide and the packet loss would make me keep walking towards places, or just stand still and eat hits
fuck taxes
Caxe, Chainsword and Chaxe, Thammer can get fast but it's a different type of it.
fuck taxes
It basically saved my last action and put it on repeat until I could connect properly again
Chord
Alright many thx, trying to do a stupid fencing build but idk what weapons would match
where necromancer madge
This was a long time ago
oh
Psyker
All three are good
I guess if you're looking for what flavor the closest you get is just heavy swords
Otherwise, make psyker. They got three sabers.
Hsword VII has some stuff over the VI and vice versa
And which hs is best for like single target?
Though to Vermintide's credit
whats HS7 good for
I never saw shit like this https://medal.tv/pt/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1nQNpmFnq7o2IX/ALwOVmyPfSdq?invite=cr-MSxyeGksMTkwNTkwNTA4LA
Watch game ate my inputs just to rub salt on that bad swap and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
All three have the same cara performance and the VII and VI have the best heavies of the three for single target.
caxe, hsword, crusher, chaxe, evis can all be fast and great single target but there are ups and downs, hammer also great single target but less good at clearing packs quickly but better for deleting unyielding and what not
How does Hsword compare to Heavy Eviscerator or Hammer on single target damage?
Slightly better at Dreg Ragers than the VI.
🤔
this shit is so annoying
So its just preference between the hs7 and 6?
and it happens ALL the time
Yknow what, I would also like opinions on its horde clear
Why not
What do we think about the heavy sword lads
The movesets are different but are just about exactly the same per each move. See which one you like more yeah.
hsword can one shot multiple of every elite that isn't an ogryn, mauler, or flak rager, I think you can one shot flak ragers with F though
this game needs to let me queue inputs during swaps
I want them to eventually work on the input priority so that swapping weapons goes above pretty much everything else
you can oneshot flak ragers with a regular crit weakspot
Nice
chastise lets you kill them with a bodyshot crit i think?
As in swapping weapons canceling most, if not all, other actions you are doing at the moment, such as aiming or pushing
gameslantern actually has it
Both HS6 and HS9 have good strike down. I feel like HS6 wins just because it can heavy spam oneshot ragers
herm
Ball, derpy
hs6 is indeed the best hsword
Go forth and ball
Nothing sucks more than trying to do a push attack and you keep shooting your gun at the crowd instead
yeah input priority is kind of fucked up and it varies depending on which weapon and what attack
at one point hs9 more competive but after the rampage fix
i think hs6 takes it no question
ty
Idk hs9 has like pure horiztonal heavies which with deathblow makes it chop heads off real nice
like if you click lmb on a revolver or shotgun it will override the weapon swap
At least its not extra snipers
i was gonna update the crusher guide because crab said activated l1/push attack into bruisers is good because u run out of cleave really fast otherwise
and i had not considered that at all
and there are certain things that lock you out of weapon swap and eat the inputs
I still haven't rolled a crusher yet
too many things to roll
and not enough mats to roll with
myeh
I think evis in general seems to enjoy eating inputs
the crusher is one of the easier weapons to roll because it has the most usable damage perks
and a super small blessing pool
How does crusher compare to T-hammer damage wise?
gameslanterns are accurate
the h2 on the hs6 has a good horizontal
it wont one shot a dh
idk I tried the h2 on hs6 and its like purely diagonal
Ideally we dont engage the dh anyway around here
though numbers may differ on a weapon by weapon basis since some have hitmass mods for certain armor types
significantly worse boss performance, not as good vs carapace, decent performance otherwise
I only care that it competes on boss damage
think baseball bat
Ah, darn
much less reliant on activated attacks and better CC while doing it
but it still quite good
How is Hsword on boss damage?
hammer wins on one shots but loses on general performance vs elites, but hammer absolutely destroys unyielding
the hitbox on it is a little goofy tbf
boss damage probably goes to thammer in general but ive heard the old chain axe is decent
both of them have similar performance vs bulwarks, i think a +unyielding crusher might win out on it
but only marginally
rashad stealth is a good contender for boss damage
Wtb power sword for vet
pls nerf 200% unyielding dmg
thats a good point
The MK4 does not outdamage a bonk stick on bosses, but it does have awesome mobility and the lmb spam is awesome.
if you are doing pugs I dont think you can go wrong with bonk
can shocking stuff glitch out? i swear im blasting hordes of 40+ on heresay/ damnation but they're not counting
New Chaxe is better for Flak bosses, not Unyielding.
best blessings for a boss destroying crucis thammer?
👀
slaught thrust
headtaker thrust works too
way easier to get to max
so its like kindof a tie between hdeataker slaught
Same with Knife in a fun goofy fact. Fury of the Faithful knife can hit 10k on bosses per hit.
Shroudfield crucis feels great.
C:
sadly the knife isnt the rashad and cant clear elite and hordes insanely fast because of a single blessing
This is true.
rashad hits 4k-ish on regular weakspot vs unyielding though
Put on the knife grift hat

(Please it's hard and the catering team has done so much for the conferences)
ill do it. for the caterers.

Thank you~♡
That'll be 300k dockets for the venue fee. Another 40k for commission fees uh
so cheap?
There's at least 3k plasteel donation but you don't have to do it.
here's a blank cheque
Listen we're bleeding funds here. Practically slashed our reserves. ;3
i have uncovered a second method for quickdrawing the bolter
no throwing knives needed
Open clip art?
but very annoying to execute
Gimp?
if you are missing at least one round in the gun
when you draw it you can mash Reload to skip the draw and start reloading instead
You can then immediately sprint cancel the reload anim
your gun is now out
this is very annoying to do and it has that prerequisite
but there ya go
it works
fuck yeah
does loner trigger stuff like shield of contempt?
loner wouldn't have anything to do with shield of contempt
Ah yes the thingy that ensures there’s 2 fake cohesions are on u at all times
Never gave it a shot myself been enjoying corruption aura
rip
Usual loner experience:
- Run ahead
- Die
- Leave
facts
there is some insane perceptions regarding loner lol
people seem to legitimately think it's a lynchpin to their builds
it doesnt actually affect it
if you are alone you get two coherency regen. in all other instances it does nothing, ie. any time you aren't actually totally out of coherency
Dogs will sadly still chase u/trappers will still try to net u
and coherency regen is pretty fucking bad
The director knows when u separate regardless of loner aura 
even if you have the loner aura your character still says stuff like "I'm all alone now", which is a hell of a missed opportunity
(to have him not said anytjhing or something differently)
"I'm all alone now. Good."
pain is when you get 3 380 god roll crucis thammers and hadron bricks them all.
yee you can do this with Flamer too.
with what should I replace Perfect Strike? Rampage sounds most sensible since I already am crit heavy in talents
now im wondering if helbore, too
Cant use helbore on zealot....
Youd have to use a nade to get that result on veteran
The quick pullout probs only happens with quick throw blitzes.
yea wouldn't work with a nade
Gentlemen
Mentlegen
What ranged weapons are worth picking up these days
My zealot drip for my 3 most frequently used loadouts
The real drip
Jurgen jumpscare
Yeah? And?
making my belly itch
oh this is prime bricking material
Nice Pai-ai-ai-ai-pants!
(If anyone gets the reference congratz, we're old)
Gonna tie ye to the bedpost for sure.
Is that an heavy sword on an ogryn ?
Love the weapons people make. Ogryn sword looks so good!
Very soulslike
Dark souls of dueling sabers
Same :c
At times, I don't know why FS doesn't have more weapons like that. Then I remember that people want all the weapons to both be unique and accomplish the same handful of tasks and I weep. Godspeed you Swedes.
Hadron broke it
Hmm. How so? I am not a knife user
Uncanny + Precog is what im supposed to be after
Aaah. Thank you for clarifying.
Both perks also bad
Oh yeah, I just thought the blessings had neat synergy
Especially with scourge and the CDR on crit hit talent
apparently precog is better than riposte because crits bad
but yeah the guide that I saw was running riposte as well
Precog adds a ton of dmg
Isn't there a whole dang meta build focused around critting a lot?
Either way, probably not what they were looking for, and thats alright.
And there's just alot of crit available that make riposte less valuable
Fair enough. Wouldn't be the first time the power of one blessing dwarfs the potential of all others.
I mean, it's just that you can alot of crit elsewhere with talents
Aye. I pick up what you dropping
I mean, if you wanted a crit revolver on vet, theres like 5 different ways to do it between combinations of talents and blessings. Makes the 5% crit perk extra silly.
problem is that you're dropping +25% of dmg for 5% chance of crit I think that's more that the issue
not a theorycrafter though
Thats what makes it silly. The fact you can get 100% crit without it makes it extra silly.
They should probably do a perk pass at some point.
Crit perk in general is not good, passable on like two weapons
Aye. Pretty much only seen it myself on Heavy Stubbers to make use of charmed reload on an otherwise low crit career
But there are a lot of dead perks
90% of weapons are just Flakiac
Mani-Flak.
Both sound good, but flakiac looks better in text
Yej.
Surprised I haven't seen a knife zealot named Majima yet
And its a shame because I love stacking weird stats last the point of usefulness.
Let me tell you about crit chance perk + double bleed blessings. 
And FS's like: 25% damage against most enemies? No worries. Reload speed? Sorry, best I can do is 10%. Crit chance? Get out.
I kinda think it should be 20% across the board.
But I imagine we'd need a more delicate fix
does anyone have the uh
the video from that one guy who was mad about having his bleed knife called shit
No clue, is joke
That's like dissing mug rootbeer
Come on, was funny!
ROOTBEER!?
idr basically one guy came in, got his knife called shit
and he basically ragequit out of this discord iirc
No, rootbeer, no!
and then a few months later made a callout post about how good his bleed knife was in auric damnation or wte
but I never watched the vid
Honestly with how people get rabid over the knife on both sides I'm just like "Let me use what's fun dammit"
I would like to see that. I do think we get a little... overzealous.
Reddit takes are very special
I am anti-knife, only cause if we complain long enough, they will buff it, no?
knife is just a B tier weapon tho
Reddit and good taste are typically antonyms
its fine as is just not like amazing
I like B tier weapons. Intersection of fun and functional
This
EVERYTHING BELOW S MIGHT AS WELL NOT EXIST
It's very reliant on the right blessings and the build
I'm not a zealot main tho so eh
But when you build it right it's a proper killing machine if you know how to dodge
all ik is meta rn is like eviscerators hsword and maybe thammer
Evis never felf right to me so I just wenr chainsword
For my chargr build
Stealth build is knife, charge I use chainsword as I like to just dodge spam and be a flurry of hits
Turtolsky IX is based
I finally just "got" Turtolsky IX + Kantrael shotty and my lord is it ever a fun time
Havent bothered to swap out the perks as tbh I love just critspam
Spent the longest time wondering why they were so popular, then it just clicked. In an extremely violent and satisfying way
Knife and combat axe S tier.
my stealth zealot on the other hand uses this absolutely shitpost of a weapon
That's pretty sad.
OOF
Eh, it works good enough, I want higher tier uncanny and more lacerate.
Because I can't make up my mind and go "I'll do both"
party time with Momentum build
is Pious worth giving up for SC?
Me 2 current knoifes
Yes
100% you can just dodge fucking bullets
I think you can dodge bullet without the perk
Yeah but it's more constant
it just makes it so you can do it without stamina
Sc doesn't do what it says
dodging bullets? try dodging a wrench
and it makes charging a gunline all the funnier
Guh?
you can't dodge bullet by charging towards the bullets
Try it in the psykhanarium, you need to be perpendicular/running away from bullets
Fair enough, still I will die on the hill of Swift certainty.
Which means you can dump your stamina into sprinting and pushing even around guns
sc doesn't make me invincible to all forms of damage?
There is a pin that describes what it actually does with video
so if I dont have issues with getting shot, no point in SC?
10% is not a little
Is that sarcasm? I cannot comprehend text-based sarcasm.
having faster/more FoFs with Pious is nice
swift certainty is what I pick when I gotta go to the emergency bathroom
Helps a lot
Pious is useful when you can afford to get behind an enemy
I play like a rabid sewer rat and go with both
Not difficult, especially with weapons that knock dudes around like hammer/crusher
I love knocking dudes around
I'm in a weird camp as I can't really enjoy crusher, havent tried hammer tbh.
what I do know is knife goes in, guts come out. And chainsword funny
It makes my ape brain happy
exactly
fish offering wishes? clearly a heretic
crusher is bae crusher is luv
so many good things in zealot tree, can't grab em all 
Should I give up 10% attack speed for Deullist?
so true
Id probably enjoy this game more if i didnt chase these stupid penances
Maybe i should just buy some ingame coin clothes and be done with it
What blessings do I want on an eviscerator?
On what
chaxe mk4
chasing penances is what made me hate life
Play the game and a lot of them will eventually just unlock
It's bonus dmg, i don't notice the attack speed loss really
that's what I was thinking, the heavies are fast already
Can make an arguement to keep the attack speed if you like the light spam on the Mk IV
I uh, go full unga bunga and rarely light attack with the mk4
usually only light when it's a lone elite
Oh the light spam is very nice for the IV. Can stun lock a handful of ragers and do solid damage to them.
thought it could only hit one target at a time, right?
I usually plow through groups of ragers in 2-3 heavies
Yeah, it attacks fast though. Partially why I said the attack speed can be argued for.
ah, I see now 
i just had a game where a lvl 38 gunpsyker was taking all the ammo even the the rest of the team had none
lmfao
would fire shots just to grab some
mk4 also gets a lot of weakspot hits, have over 500 a game on average
so Duellist would be a noticeable damage bump I think
tried to votekick twice but it didn't pass
btw, is it better to special light or special heavy with chaxes?
depends if you have thrust and need to hit specific breakpoints I think
no thrust and a special light with FoF one shots crusher atm
did they do the thing with chaxe heavies like evis where it has a bit higher damage on special heavy on one part of the rev
the heavy does do more damage when I tested it
but the light is quicker and still kills the thing I'm hitting
if you don't need to hit a specific BP with thrust I don't think it matters, IIRC you can one shot crushers with cara (and maybe elites) and thrust without chastise
stacking so many damage buffs that I don't need +cara, so I can bank of Flakiac
well it's just for one shots without chastise
ah
ok thier trolling, they are spamming e on me to revive me and stop reviving me so none can get me up
thats some gae rolls
i want one too
"missclick"
Neither need an ult or Martyr
I don't even think the XII needs thrust for it
I mean if you don't have cara and thrust I imagine you do unless you stack up headtaker/slaughterer, I was talking about raw
Ah yeah without Thrust on the Mk IV it's a bit of a challenge
so what curious are folks running when not stacking martyrdom? have tried a few combos of hp and toughness, but havent quite settled on it either way
3 toughness or 2 toughness 1 HP is the general preference, with gunner resist hp and toughness
and 1 sniper res or a corruption res being acceptable
They play very differently imo.
I like high mobility weapons, even if the ecclesiarchy says mobility is dogwater. I got a need for speed!
was going 2 toughness with 1 HP, with gunner, toughness, and toughness regen
I run either setup with gunner resist toughness and ordos
speed is the strongest drug
Real tbh
toughness regen isn't that useful especially because it disables when you are within 3m of enemies
true
wasn't sure what else to slap in there
I painted my knife red because red goes faster, and the blood doesn't ruin the look
so it was a placeholder
wonder why i never see anyone use the iron helm thunder hammer
what makes it different?
I got knocked off a ledge and it fucked up my penance
Its preference fully
ironhelm is actually pretty awesome nowadays
I got the achievement but Iwanted the portrait smh
crucis is for smacking down the biggest of bois, ironhelm is more geared for crowds of shit
its attack pattern is a con compared to the crucis in my book. But wondering if it s better at single target then? or something idk
oh
but if youre somebody who already put shitloads of times into the crucis, then you dont really need the ironhelm
is not hard if you just uh dodge.
you can already work around the crucis' special hit
i was thinking crucis attack pattern is best for crowds since it got that constant vertical heavy attack
ironhelm is solid it's just like, less hammer but easier to use so people like me that get good with hammer prefer the more hammery hammer that takes more practice, also ironhelm has less special damage and a weird overhead
Crucis special hits 25% harder
ironhelm is more of spam the special heavy with H1 H2
wait. so its just kinda objectively worse?
the ironhelm feels like a less fluid psword to me
nah, different
and psword is pushing it in terms of what i wanna deal with for shitty dodge stats/activations
you can sweep the ironhelm special through several targets and then still drop its max damage on an elite in a crowd
and there's no delay from the impact
you can immediately follow up
Its better for flat horde clear, with its special cleaving through trash, and the 3rd heavy nuke is still quite powerful. Its a bit more complex, but also more versatile.
the ironhelm special cleaves through chaff so it's easier to use but also kills more horde enemies
oh thats good! you cant do that on the crucis
ah i see that clears it up a bit. Got this really good roll and was wondering if i should pursue it
I would.
hammers fucking suck to roll lol
hmm what blessings would you recommend?
I don't know any wep thats fun to roll
Crucis you can still hit stuff in crowds, but takes practice
hadron casino xd
hm
roll to purple
crusher is pretty damn easy
crucis is my usual. but wanted to see what the other has to offer
Brutal momentum and thrust are my go-tos whenever I am able but thats just personal preference.
Holy brick
haha
ouch
sprint efficiency tho
xd
Thats rough buddy.
that sucks so bad 
may as well earn thunderous at least
Sprint efficiency ain't that bad tbh, it's okay on a melee weapon.
maybe one day shock and awe will do something really cool
just cope it with thrust slaughterer
homie got a brick so big that fatshark gonna use it as the new ogryn blitz
Thunderous is bad
sprint efficiency is a debuff because i use desperation
I am neither shocked nor awed, so one can hope
i must never have stamina
especially on weapons that want to hit things once
like i get the joke but idk i just spam out a few pushes and bam
i am now desperate
what would be the best blessings though? with the iron helm and what im told it seems shock is not really needed xd
Its bonus damage for you and your allies, why is bad?
Not best, sure.
thrust/slaught. headtaker is ok if u get stuck with it but its way better on crucis relatively because the ironhelm has no problem stacking slaught ever
thrust + headtaker/slaughterer
shock and awe does absolutely nothing useful compared to any power blessing, thrust is required and then you take slaughterer or headtaker
headtaker i get for sure
need blessings though i got like none since i never got many xd
gotta farm some now i guess
Does thammer not get bromentum?
Darn. I was hunting for that
you clearly aren't a hammer detective
Oh? Because I just solved the case of the missing bromentum.
literally just the ironhelm
killing 4 crushers in one swing would be ridiculous we can't have that in the game
hsword
yeah if only there was a weapon that did this
I think they meant the bonk
roll a few and tried a new one, bit better, wished it was t4 though
The knife does that
thats a good one
can cleave 4 crushers
thats a very good one actually
seems better for sure xd
Mighty fine roll. Good for seeing if you like it for sure.
No need for a 100% godroll unless ye fall in love with it
Aye. Such a roll is more a trophy
i've been playing a lot of ogryn lately, and the class just feels super busted in general. like that shovel is just a small part of it
are these pants on the top right some kind of cash shop item?
thats true.
Yes
the best pants
Yeh, those silk?
Are those snake-print lol?
damn i see what you mean, this is really satisfying on a horde
Yeah, smooth as buttah!
just another day where i want to give fatshark money but they dont want it
You mean a day ending in y?
still no sexy felinids
You get a ton of qol and bps with headtaker/slaughterer, thunderous just makes things take longer and you do basically everything worse
Aye, it ain't the best. But it ain't thunderstrike or shock and awe
Why is it bad specifically?
It's still in the bad pile
Your horde clear goes to shit, along with cleave and stagger
Well, I guess your pile is bigger than mine.
Lose bps on even basic stuff
And it's not even useful for the thing hammers want to do, kill big stuff
I think you are comparing it to meta, and I am comparing it to grey. Its better than nothing, and theres a lot of nothing blessings.
yeah if you kill things in one hit it does nothing, and on most armor types it generally doesn't doing anything
Better than a mouthful of nails
I dunno those nails are looking pretty tasty...
if ur a crucis every hammer is a nail
Did you ever play "revenge of the colon"?
