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.

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

Hmm yummy grey sludge

#

My favourite

open pollen
#

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.

whatever regardless of how effective smokes or knives are having your nodes look like this is betta than this

I feel knife is victim of dunning-kreugar players. Folks who think they're pro AF but really they am ASS.

autumn vector
#

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

Max Precog is better, I roll uncanny pre often on knives tbh

verbal thunder
#

Just buy green knives off the market

mystic ether
#

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.

verbal thunder
#

Upgrade once

naive star
#

Was my first Hi-Intensity Damnation, so feels nice when getting rewarded too

mystic ether
#

They've never taken enough risks to learn.

verbal thunder
#

I think its just positionally inferior for your team

mystic ether
#

And also, as a knife person, you can just do better with a different weapon, still play risky and get more efficiency completed.

verbal thunder
#

You could be with them and clearing, covering an angle for your shooters

open pollen
# mystic ether Sort of.

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.

sharp zodiac
#

Yeah so I'm fucking dumb

verbal thunder
#

Or you could be wibble woobling out in the distance doing fuck all

Strictly from my pub auric experience.

sharp zodiac
#

Turns out there was a Wendy's on a right turn that I could've WALKED to

#

I didn't even need to order

autumn vector
#

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

verbal thunder
#

I feel validated, being that I experience this in pub aurics mostly

mystic ether
#

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.

verbal thunder
#

To be fair that is me w/ Zealot.

#

But thats okay

mystic ether
#

I'm not even going for throats. I've just seen it so much

verbal thunder
#

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

mystic ether
#

Dead ass seeing peoples gear, God rolls and all and they can't manage a mixed horde for shit.

verbal thunder
#

Mind you, 'Getting it to work' for me is a higher standard than others

mystic ether
#

Let alone, you know, change targets that matter, ping, fucking actually support each other as necessary, etc.

verbal thunder
#

Giving 150% more than the average player in that slot is what I consider 'working'

open pollen
verbal thunder
#

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

mystic ether
#

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.

#

Vermintide is a bit tricky

mystic ether
# autumn vector I disagree with the ping bit, if I can ping it I can generally kill it, I dont p...

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.

ornate bone
#

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

verbal thunder
#

I can handle most every other threat in VT2, but the basic horde units obliterate my hp bar

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.

ornate bone

So imagine having to block a fifth of a second earlier

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

mystic ether
#

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.

ornate bone
#

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

You need to be more consistent for that.

But on 200 ping, Darktide is perfectly playable aside from a wonky light attack animation on two

Now what?

ornate bone
#

The way I noticed, if you block in DT with 200 ping it has the same effect as 30

verbal thunder
#

I just have good internet and play all my games at 20 ping

vapid mirage
#

Just use normal dodge/block pattern

verbal thunder
#

Dont deal with the issue

#

Enjoy my time

ornate bone
#

Oh, the animations are bad, but at least the game recognizes what you're trying to do in the end

fading vale
#

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

ornate bone
#

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

fading vale
#

plus you don't really need to block in DT so

ashen steeple
#

Is the knife the only good option for fast single target stuff?

ornate bone
#

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

and its like bro pls

And hit other targets at the same time.

the heavy swords are all good

theyre some of the best zealot weaps

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

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

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?

though numbers may differ on a weapon by weapon basis since some have hitmass mods for certain armor types

I only care that it competes on boss damage

How is Hsword on boss damage?

fading vale

hammer wins on one shots but loses on general performance vs elites, but hammer absolutely destroys unyielding

ripe quest
lean lark
#

yes

#

yes it is

#

and thats why i love using it

autumn vector
#

boss damage probably goes to thammer in general but ive heard the old chain axe is decent

royal vortex
#

both of them have similar performance vs bulwarks, i think a +unyielding crusher might win out on it

#

but only marginally

lean lark

rashad stealth is a good contender for boss damage

Aaah. Thank you for clarifying.

Both perks also bad

open pollen

Oh yeah, I just thought the blessings had neat synergy

#

Especially with scourge and the CDR on crit hit talent

azure mortar
#

apparently precog is better than riposte because crits bad

#

but yeah the guide that I saw was running riposte as well

north sedge
#

Precog adds a ton of dmg

open pollen
#

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.

north sedge
#

And there's just alot of crit available that make riposte less valuable

open pollen
#

Fair enough. Wouldn't be the first time the power of one blessing dwarfs the potential of all others.

north sedge
#

I mean, it's just that you can alot of crit elsewhere with talents

open pollen
#

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.

azure mortar
#

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

open pollen
#

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.

north sedge

Crit perk in general is not good, passable on like two weapons

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

vivid hawk

Can make an arguement to keep the attack speed if you like the light spam on the Mk IV

vivid hawk
#

usually only light when it's a lone elite

ripe quest
#

Oh the light spam is very nice for the IV. Can stun lock a handful of ragers and do solid damage to them.

vivid hawk
#

thought it could only hit one target at a time, right?

#

I usually plow through groups of ragers in 2-3 heavies

ripe quest
#

Yeah, it attacks fast though. Partially why I said the attack speed can be argued for.

vivid hawk
#

ah, I see now loregryn

open echo
#

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

vivid hawk
#

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

open echo
vivid hawk
#

btw, is it better to special light or special heavy with chaxes?

fading vale
#

depends if you have thrust and need to hit specific breakpoints I think

vivid hawk
#

no thrust and a special light with FoF one shots crusher atm

fading vale
#

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

vivid hawk
#

the heavy does do more damage when I tested it

#

but the light is quicker and still kills the thing I'm hitting

fading vale
#

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

vivid hawk
#

stacking so many damage buffs that I don't need +cara, so I can bank of Flakiac

fading vale
#

well it's just for one shots without chastise

vivid hawk
#

ah

crucis is for smacking down the biggest of bois, ironhelm is more geared for crowds of shit

guess Igotta do that shit again... fucking flawless exeuction

wheat topaz

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

spare dome
#

but if youre somebody who already put shitloads of times into the crucis, then you dont really need the ironhelm

olive raven
spare dome
#

you can already work around the crucis' special hit

wheat topaz
#

i was thinking crucis attack pattern is best for crowds since it got that constant vertical heavy attack

fading vale
#

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

north sedge
#

Crucis special hits 25% harder

fading vale

ironhelm is more of spam the special heavy with H1 H2

wheat topaz

wait. so its just kinda objectively worse?

royal vortex

the ironhelm feels like a less fluid psword to me

spare dome
#

nah, different

royal vortex
#

and psword is pushing it in terms of what i wanna deal with for shitty dodge stats/activations

spare dome

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

the ironhelm special cleaves through chaff so it's easier to use but also kills more horde enemies
