rampage shred on both

fading vale

#

New Evis has way more cleave by default than new Chord with the crowd combos

frozen glen
#

just chastise into bursters lads you'll be ok

ripe quest
#

Even the Mk IV's heavies have less than the XV's lights

royal vortex

i am a principled crusher user

polar nexus
#

forgot about that one tbh, i wast testing in hisgh and things became hectic

south folio
coarse birch
#

i use crusher as well but i play assail/DS psyker and i think that overwrites using crusher

royal vortex
#

principled

frank night
#

his psyche has been crushed into the shape of a soggy pringle by putting consistent effort into something over an extended period of time

royal vortex
#

extended period

#

it was like

#

3 days

frank night
#

did I stutter

royal vortex
#

i hate you

frank night
#

i am asked to prevent use of the cash shop while i am in the kitchen making coffee

royal vortex
#

shut UP

#

stop

frank night
#

in the two minutes it takes to return

frosty herald
#

Crusher kinda slow without attack speed

frank night
#

it is already too late

royal vortex
#

it was more than 2 minutes

#

let the records show

#

i think

sterile basalt
#

Is this fine

#

Or do I rly want deathblow + headtaker

royal vortex
#

swap savage sweep to headtaker

polar nexus
sterile basalt
#

Ok I’ll swap when I eventually find it

royal vortex
#

also that was

gray ice
#

so I can do pretty decent with gun psyker

royal vortex
#

when was that

gray ice
#

but holy shit I suck at not taking dmg sometimes

royal vortex
#

i dont think i had started writing the guide by that point

frank night
#

royal vortex
#

please stop saying that

polar nexus
frank night
#

i did 1 hi shock today and got barrelled off the map by a recon vet

polar nexus
#

so rip the first on you got and put it

frank night
#

i am now bald

coarse birch
#

josho i think you have a toxic relationship with all your darktide friends

royal vortex
#

"darktide"

frank night
#

coolcab was the positive one and he vanished in mysterious circumstances

royal vortex
#

this is how i prefer to communicate with people

#

through hostility

frank night
#

murder, she wrote

coarse birch
#

i didnt know what to call them idk if you know them irl at this point

royal vortex
#

no i meant thats the case

#

with all my friends

coarse birch
#

ah

frozen glen
#

josho i think u just have bad friends

royal vortex
#

i have good friends

polar nexus
#

hab dreyko is interesting now, i took like 200dmg during the mission and 1k in the final event

royal vortex
#

i have learned to distinguish between genuinely shitty people and those who like banter

frank night
#

this image is more real than u realise

royal vortex
#

shut

#

the fuck UP

gray ice
#

you aren't real friends if you can't have a roast session that would put the salem witch trials to shame

frosty herald
#

Cica and i are good friends

royal vortex
#

i hate this guy

#

this fkin mittins dude

#

set him on fire

frank night
#

my ms paint skills have improved

coarse birch
#

mittins has yet to wrong me an i cannot condone this

royal vortex
#

the difference is also when this happens in text chat u cant hear what people describe as the dolphin noises

#

when i laugh

coarse birch
#

i thought it was hyena

royal vortex
#

it goes back and fourth

frank night
#

it can be pterodactyl

royal vortex
#

they use different animals to describe it

coarse birch
#

fourth

frosty herald
#

Throw tar on mittens and cover him in feathers

royal vortex
#

fuck

#

GOD

#

DAMNIT

gray ice
#

honestly josho laughs like I do, which gives me comfort

frozen glen
#

british forth

gray ice
#

that I'm not the only one that laughs like a witch

royal vortex
#

dont u fkin use me as the "if this guy has it bad im doing ok" motivation

frank night
#

we also had a phase of asking him if he was off to fight batman

royal vortex
#

i was a terror upon tertium

#

with what i did to @south folio and co

#

i have convinced stan that arco is a serial barreler which is i think the funniest part of it all

frank night
#

i had a realisation that i have become a withered old darktide player now i no longer find barrels funny

#

but that might be because i play pubs too much

royal vortex
#

they got old

frank night
#

and they are an easy way for some RANDO

#

to instantly lose a run

coarse birch
#

randos change you

royal vortex
#

i dont get barreled in pubs often

#

but uh

#

i will set them off and i will ping them

#

and some dude will fkin walk into it

#

and then go

#

"i hate you"

coarse birch
#

i also very rarely get barreled in pubs but i also dont stand near them

#

on purpose

royal vortex
#

i legit did this to a vet and i said "oops sorry" and he replied

#

"fuck you"

frosty herald
#

Lmao

royal vortex
#

10 mins later at the end he forgave me

#

i was on ogryn

frozen glen
#

if the barrel is near a ledge i just blow it up immediately

#

gotta babyproof the map

frosty herald
#

Rember that knife player that attacked a host withour even looking

copper hawk
#

Gnarp gnarp

frosty herald
#

Just stabbing everywhere

frank night
#

i swear the game also has longer knock back near ledges

#

i fkn swear

royal vortex
#

i do quite enjoy when pub players do incomprehensibly stupid shit

#

unless its one of those fucking "when it rans it pours" days

#

where i keep having people SUICIDE INTO DAEMONHOSTS THAT AGGRO ON ME

coarse birch
#

i have seen pubs be dumb enough times at this point it is no longer funny and usually annoying

frank night
#

you were fed to the cashier

frosty herald
#

Imagine hosts kill 3 players on damnation instead of 2

royal vortex
#

i don't let myself get mad at pubs unless they are exceedingly stupid

coarse birch
#

because chances are they are being dumb when i go down and im already annoyed at myself for going down

royal vortex
#

because if i laugh at the dumb shit i have more fun

heavy arch
#

i watched a pug beat into a bulwarks shield but resetting his stagger so the shield never actually opened up

frank night
#

i deliberately solo queue into random auric damnations so i have deprived myself of the right to complain

heavy arch
#

he accused me of not helping

#

which is true i didnt help

frank night
#

i have chosen to be in the mid-match fill disaster party

royal vortex
frank night
#

u declared article 5

#

on a guy who was dced

#

for 30 seconds

royal vortex
#

not my problem

frozen glen
frank night
#

there is no SSD IN THE WORLD

frozen glen
#

dk who he is

royal vortex
#

maybe if ur poor

#

use all that leftover colonialism money

frank night
#

i realise why redverse is usually dead 50km away from team with a rashad axe now

#

he keeps listening to fighting game music rock

coarse birch
#

music is usually a death sentence in this game cause you just get trappered

royal vortex
#

i choose the most confusing music types for my clips

frozen glen
#

mittins that stereotype died 3 months ago

coarse birch
#

if i could rely on sound in this game to work more

#

i would listen to music in game

royal vortex
#

i had some dude ask me why i was listening to a fkin daniel khan song while killing a dh

coarse birch
#

red dont you hate knives

heavy arch
#

whos daniel khan

royal vortex
frank night
frozen glen
#

i dont use knives

frank night
#

a constant stream of american food adverts

frozen glen
#

they just kinda sit there

#

throwing knives i mean

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

i meant like combat blade

frozen glen
#

i like the mk6

frank night
royal vortex
#

lmfao

drifting wolf
#

kronk has good taste in music

coarse birch
#

id believe it honestly

royal vortex
#

me and mankar had a running joke for a while that my ogryn is non-verbal

#

which was really funny in a couple pubs because i would throw a nuke in the elevator and get sad that i dropped it

#

also a product of playing the game at 5 am while sleep deprived and finding everything funny

merry spade

If the stats were a bit better, and this appeared for my Veteran, i would consider grabbing it from melk.

hey i was playing darktide at 5 am yesterday

#

royal vortex
#

i have played this game during each of the 24 hours in a day

#

not consecutively thank god

coarse birch
#

i probably have as well

frozen glen
#

do u happen to enjoy darktide

royal vortex
#

debatably

#

mittins would tell u i am in the "failing marriage" stage

#

whatever that means

#

do not believe his lies

merry spade
#

Melk's selling this for 3k, good hammer or bad? (I dont usually play zealot)

frozen glen
#

bad

coarse birch
#

bad

royal vortex
#

bad unfortunately

coarse birch
#

you want higher damage and the blessings are awful

#

unyielding is the only good thing

south folio
merry spade
#

gotcha

coarse birch
#

well the other stats are fine minus damage

north sedge
#

hard to get worse than that

frosty herald
#

Josho your allowed to play other games

#

Like armored core

north sedge
#

josiah plays only wholesome games, like bear's gate 3

coarse birch
#

i should play armored core at some point

frozen glen
#

josho would u care for a blow up doll

#

and a bear

royal vortex
#

no

frosty herald
#

Its a good game

royal vortex
#

obviously its time to reinstall bg3

frosty herald
#

Did the ng++ ending hopefully there will be more story stuff later

frozen glen
#

rogue trader that bad huh

frosty herald
#

Maybe even a white glint fight with parts

royal vortex

im not going to finish that game until they fixed everything beyond act 2 having a decent chance of softlocking you or breaking quests

good base but the rest not so good

Xcom is cool other than the fact that you can lose a levelled character from enemies appearing offscreen despite decent placement

That shit's lame

frosty herald

There are mission timers

frosty herald

Like complete mission in x turns or die

visual stream
#

Ohh I thought that's what you meant

frosty herald
#

Nah

visual stream
#

Man Mechanicus copied a lot from XCOM

frosty herald
#

I turned off the awakening project cause end timers SUCK

#

And are not a fun game design mechanic

visual stream
#

I like the sense of urgency and planning that Mechanicus does, but then again I've only gotten towards late game, haven't progressed to beat the game

frank night
visual stream
#

Mechanicus is cool because even if your ultra-invested characters die to dumb shit that you couldn't have predicted without prior map knowledge or luck, they're not POOF forever

frank night
#

and yeah mechanicus was a lot less on the rng

frank night
#

and way more on balancing action economy

#

altho you got invincible incredibly easily in that game

minor sage
visual stream
#

I would rather my hyper-sniping, 90% body mass being composed of cannons chad not just be gone forever

minor sage

compared to just sitting there and overwatching

#

which is also kinda lame tbf

frosty herald
#

end timers give me stress and i wanna relax

minor sage
#

well it is a turn based game lol

frosty herald
#

i dont mind the mission end timers

#

just the global finish the game before this bar runs out or restart

visual stream
#

I like the mission end timers usually for that reason, the urgency is cool but sometimes it forces you to HAVE to make dumb plays because the enemy AI can at times play like they are aware

#

Maybe a couple more rounds in some cases, other times I'm chilling

frank night
#

i tend to stress a lil bit before realising how much the bar actually progs when stuff happens

#

outside highest difficulties it's usually nada

maiden path
#

where ma mgs3 fans at

minor sage
#

isnt global end timer super lax

#

like it fills up 1 bar at a time

#

and raiding a facility removes like all of it

frosty herald
#

still not fun

#

i just edit the game files to increase the bar to 999

Do you guys prefer the new Chainaxe and why?
I've played both and I have to say Mk IV (old one) still feels superior in every way..

it's so annoying when you have to look it up every 5 seconds

alpine egret
#

running fire nades

#

and martry

sonic totem
#

If you run fury with cooldown on crit, scourge (bleed on crit) and marty, you can get some pretty nutty dps

#

Also can use fury with your gun to essentually give it giga damage buff with armor pen for like, 3-5 seconds (I can't remember how long it lasts)

#

But if you prefer prayer, that works too

alpine egret
#

ill do some testing in aurics

sonic totem
#

Could also run blazing piety but that may be a little overkill

alpine egret
#

Oh overkill idc about

#

wait piety with what fury or prayer?

sonic totem
#

Fury

ripe quest
#

Fury just gives a armor downgrade effect to your guns (gives it to your next melee hit as well), along with the attack speed buff. It's effect varies with each weapon.

sonic totem
#

Can also do prayer if you wanna spam that instead

sonic totem
north sedge
#

fury is just gonna output more dmg

ripe quest
#

Moves Cara to the Flak ADM and Flak to the Unarmored ADM to be specific

so like, maniac and unyielding don't get anything

read the crusher guide

fading vale

ironhelm doesn't have combos and the overhead is pretty much pointless

royal vortex

learn the secrets

if you do miss your special sweep you can have a special overhead

Hope these secrets don't corrupt my mind and force me to file taxes

i can confirm none of them do

ripe quest
frozen glen

flak

its always flak

fading vale
frozen glen

if ur weapon doesnt have flak put flak on it

fading vale

then you have to start with a push attack

it's a push followup

not a PA

err push whatever

"with duellist and blazing piety crit damage is good on crusher"

frozen glen
#

u can stagger bosses with it

royal vortex
#

and i wanted to tear my eyes out

fading vale
royal vortex
#

lmfao that was comical

ripe quest
#

Truly ballin

coarse birch
#

duellist is pog

royal vortex
#

honestly BP crusher isn't that bad even w/o invocation

fading vale
#

crusher is just good in general

azure mortar
#

Is crusher OP though ?

frozen glen
#

crit + cara gives u crusher 4 shot breakpoint

royal vortex
#

ehhhh

#

if crusher is too strong that is a symptom of the game generally having too much raw player power

#

it's not particularly outstanding in terms of dps or anything

fading vale
#

I would say crusher CC and dealing with elite packs might be a bit too strong but otherwise no

royal vortex
#

u can't 1-tap full 4 hp shotgunners/ragers etc

coarse birch
#

crusher is very good i wouldnt say its OP but thats mostly cause the top end shit is really really stupid

frozen glen
#

there is too much stupid shit in the game to even consider calling the crusher op

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

its like fringe

fading vale
#

there's no other weapon that can just deal with any melee situation

royal vortex
#

crusher probs shouldn't be able to spam the activations

#

is the main change i would make

frozen glen
#

how am i gonna boss dps without special h1 spam

royal vortex
hushed knoll
#

Josho your crusher guy is good

#

royal vortex
#

it still requires decent movement and whatnot

fading vale
alpine egret
#

what heavy sword is best ?

#

is it the IX ?

quaint verge
#

Imagine a cranking mechanic for the crusher NODDERS

zinc monolith
#

Fellow shouties, I require penance aid

ripe quest
#

Essentially just a cooldown timer

lofty elk
#

crusher is definitely the best all round "I want to win this mission" weapon

royal vortex
#

i think the problem is that you can't really fine tune the dials of melee combat rn

ripe quest
#

but cool

royal vortex
#

because in-game it devolves really quickly

#

i think being able to go "i spam special l1/h1 into the bulwarks/maulers/crushers" isn't great gameplay and on that front i'd agree, a little less activated CC would make it a bit more reasonable

#

but the crusher's whole kinda special thing is that you're able to handle more in melee because this weapon is THE crowd control thing

ripe quest
#

I have no backing but I still think Chainsword hits the mark for peak generalist weapon. It survived the Rampage fix glamorously.

fading vale
#

I think they kind of overdid the spawn directions

royal vortex
#

the old elite density was way too low

#

but i also didn't ask for waves of literally 15-20 ragers

frozen glen
#

peak generalist is still the rashad

#

absurdly op

royal vortex
#

thammer is the only activated weapon i would say is fine with the way the activation works

fading vale
#

obviously current rashad should be deleted lol

royal vortex
lofty elk
#

crusher dosnt do best dps but the knockback and your survivability makes it best for winning the game for your team

royal vortex
#

the light/pa should only have infinite cleave

ripe quest
royal vortex
#

and you should have a (short) cooldown timer on activation use

fading vale
#

I could see that

royal vortex
#

because the normals aren't huge elite cleave by any means, baseline 2 scab ragers/maulers with the h2 isn't really doing crazy amounts

lofty elk
#

crusher can lockdown hordes of maulers ragers and crushers

royal vortex
#

yea

lofty elk
#

its the ogryn shield of zealot

royal vortex
#

ogryn shield has specific talent interactions that completely warp its damage output tbf

fading vale
#

the shield is just dumb, literally just spam heavies and that's it lol

royal vortex
#

not even spam heavies

#

spam the h1 block cancel

#

sometimes h2 if you have a shit ton of gunners/shotgunners

ripe quest
#

Doesn't the H2 have infinite cleave

frozen glen
#

another fucking

royal vortex
#

yea but the h1 iirc has like 11

frozen glen
#

deflector block eff in scab melee

royal vortex
#

and procs BM way better

#

13.1 cleave on the h1 sorry

ripe quest
#

There are absolutely situations where I'd rather have infinite cleave rather than just 11

royal vortex
#

and those situations very often overlap with using a gun

#

infinite cleave on the shield still has armor stop so its useless vs maulers/bulwarks/crushers

#

which narrows it to ragers, shotgunners, and gunners, because it's faster to horde clear with H1

#

and ragers is more of just spamming heavies because a h2 will stagger them for a decent while anyways

#

its a very boring weapon and it needs a counterattack mechanic

#

the push attack is literally right there

ripe quest
#

give it a kick

royal vortex
#

high finesse headshot strikedown with no reason to use it because heavies exist

#

have a counter-attack fkin double or triple the finesse mod

fading vale
#

they said they were gonna rework the shield but instead they just fatsharked it

ripe quest
#

PA has a better adm for flak iirc

royal vortex
#

doesn't end up mattering cuz u always want to be applying bleed

fading vale
#

granted ogryn is just OP in general so

royal vortex
#

which is another problem

#

if they let me do 1 major balance overhaul for dt it would be completely reworking ogryn because good lord

#

it's so boring

#

and all the weapons are really strong in exactly the same way

fading vale
#

they need to hire crab as the balance lead

royal vortex
#

i fucking WISH dude

fading vale
#

he has fun ideas not boring ideas that are engaging and not just dumb OP stuff

royal vortex
#

crusher is my favorite weapon in the game

#

it's so cool how it works and how the blessings aren't literally just "here's your weapon but better in every way"

ripe quest
#

The damage I would do to this game if they gave me access to chain weapon balance

royal vortex
#

if ogryn had like a single loadout that i found engaging beyond

#

HOLD DOWN MELEE BUTTON

#

SWAP TO GUN

#

SHOOT

#

GO BACK TO HOLDING DOWN MELEE BUTTON

#

i'd just play that

fading vale
#

I don't like how chain weapons basically seem to be braindead

royal vortex
#

fundamentally chain weapons have a problem with how they work because activation attacks kinda suck in this game outside i would say hammer and crusher

fading vale
#

but as crab mentioned one time, people like braindead and clicky clicky spam

lofty elk
#

ogryn has a bunch of weapons which have strange attack combos

royal vortex
ripe quest
#

So many fun ways to make the chain weapon activations impactful and fun

lofty elk
#

yeah

ripe quest
#

rather than just oooh big slower thammer hit

royal vortex
#

mk4 is the main combo weapon because they actually made a reason to not just default to heavy spam

#

the mk2 club is one of the weapons i want them to un-desecrate

#

there's the special slap -> light punch -> h2 strikedown combo that u have no reason to use

lofty elk
#

why would chain activations suck tho, they do a lot of work

royal vortex
ripe quest
#

It's not that they're bad by any means

fading vale
#

the mechanic sucks overall

royal vortex
#

and they just keep shredding (up to a certain point) as long as you hold it down

fading vale
#

not that they are bad

ripe quest
#

I personally find them boring

royal vortex
#

when i say they suck i mean they are fucking boring and so lame

#

boltgun did it a hundred times better

lofty elk
#

its very stupid how all active wepaons work the same, get 1 single hit, lasts for 2 seconds

royal vortex
#

the numbers on them are also bad

#

as in like

#

i am performing a continuous shred

#

but a lot of the damage is loaded into the first and last tick

#

which is super lame

fading vale
#

and then you have weapons like deimos where you never ever use the activation

royal vortex
#

i also generally don't like weapons that are just "activate to do attack but Better"

fading vale
#

yeah

#

illisi and psword

#

are lame

royal vortex
#

activations imo should be more ingrained into the moveset or serve a distinct purpose

minor sage
#

does the chaxe still get caught in things

#

via rev

ripe quest
minor sage
#

when you swing

royal vortex
#

for the hammer and crusher they serve a distinct purpose

minor sage
#

or is it fixed now

ripe quest
fading vale
#

and lights won't cleave anymore so

open bramble
#

@royal vortex I've been enjoying bully 3 a lot. I know that the ranged shit on ogryn is really bonkers atm, but I try to stay away from it and just play aggressive skullbreaker builds, because it's more interesting than obliterating everything with achlys, gorg, or one of the rippers in a gunlugger super tank build

#

Oh, and shovel 3 is fun

open bramble
#

Because you can perma stagger monstrosities

royal vortex
#

my problem is like

#

there's just not enough going on with any ogryn melee

fading vale
#

perma staggering monstrosities is also pretty sus

#

idk why they did that

open bramble
#

Yah, I get what you're saying

willow vale
#

When you pick up 3 med-stims in a row to help the low HP Zealot. smugpepe

#

with skullbreaker im legitimately just mashing heavy attack into a horde and i never die unless i get disabled

yeah....

royal vortex
#

the mk4 is good, the mk6 is turbo aids

ogryn is a mess

fading vale
#

like free 66% TDR lol

minor sage
#

do you get variety when you play with the krouk

royal vortex
#

uhhh

minor sage
#

cuz i know most of ogryns weapons

royal vortex
#

it has some basic combos

minor sage
#

is just heavy heavy heavy heavy

open bramble
minor sage
#

or light light light light

#

forever

royal vortex
#

light light heavy or heavy light light for single target

minor sage
#

lmao

royal vortex
#

push attack -> light -> heavy -> light repeat for horde

#

but its meh

minor sage
#

heck the most complex combo i've played so far is the heavy special heavy

royal vortex
#

don't have to hit headshots or anything

minor sage
#

on club1

#

the class just

#

is braindead

royal vortex
#

there's so much braindeath going on

minor sage
#

well are ppl still telling them

#

to run hp curios

#

LOL

fading vale
#

bro you have no idea

open bramble
#

So many ogryns still haven't figured out how strong stacking toughness is

#

It's insane

royal vortex
#

nah most of the ogryn chat regulars have moved on to toughness

#

i'll give em that

fading vale
#

I got pinged about curios in ogryn chat once like 2 months ago

open bramble
#

Not in chat

#

Those guys are fine

fading vale
#

and I said use toughness

open bramble
#

I'm talking about the randos I group with

royal vortex
#

pubgryns are still fkin dumb most of the time but thats pub players

minor sage
#

laz got flamed kek

fading vale
#

and then I got omega dogpiled

open bramble
#

But I guess that's for all classes

#

Yeah

minor sage
#

nah

#

you want a bit of hp

#

on the humans

#

bit of both

fading vale
#

I just said don't run all HP

royal vortex
#

i like 1 hp on psyker/vet because bursters

fading vale
#

and they were like BUT BIG NUMBER

delicate shadow
#

I full send toughness on zealot

royal vortex
#

on zealot it's w/e tbh most of the time my hp goes from half or full to 1 because of a random overhead anyways

delicate shadow
#

and ogryn but playing ogryn makes me itch

royal vortex
#

i've had a couple times where a good balance proc + a hp curio saves me from proccing until death on an overhead

#

which is nice i guess

#

but like honestly the curio debate is really tiring because a bunch of jackasses will hit you with "you must only play regular damnation" or w/e if you say something like

#

"yeah a single sniper res is fine"

minor sage
#

i really fucking hate

#

the mauler/crusher sounds though

fading vale
#

then you have the stam regen zealots

minor sage
#

I wish they would've just played it when they spawned in or something

#

cuz i literally cant hear any specials anymore

fan?

fan the flames

royal vortex
ripe quest
minor sage
#

does that blessing even do anything LOL

royal vortex
#

i like slaughterer way more on the ironhelm because the special cleave means you don't really struggle for getting it stacked

fading vale
minor sage
#

i think anything that gets staggered

#

gets staggered on baseline

#

and anything that doesnt

#

doesn't even with it

fading vale
#

perhaps crushers but that would be the only thing

north sedge
#

showstopper spreads fire though

#

😔

fading vale
#

can't say I've tested fan on crushers

rotund locust
#

good to know - thanks! Haven't really messed with the hammers too much yet

ripe quest
#

I like that it makes puffing hordes when you're right in-front of them a bit safer.

#

That's like, the only utility I've had with it

fading vale
#

I mean, puff by default staggers everything that's not a crusher

#

maybe you need 2 puffs on some things but like

#

oh no

ripe quest
#

I swear it does something for hordes, no way I placebo'd those tests

royal vortex
#

i wish there was like a hand flamer or something

#

a smaller variant with more mobility and not god-awful swap time for less ammo would be cool

polar nexus
fading vale
#

I'll walk up to rager or mauler packs and just puff stunlock them with blaze/overpressure

ripe quest
#

I imagine a faster pullout Flamer will be a thing

royal vortex
#

it'd be the only thing that'd tempt me to use it

ripe quest
#

Only so much you can do with Flamer without power creeping old variants

royal vortex
#

but like i want an actual hand flamer

#

give it like 10 ammo idc just let me swap and quickly use it after CCing guys with the crusher

assail is my favorite part of psyker

it's like they didn't even try to design the staves at all outside of initial thoughts

vt staves so much better lol

royal vortex
#

because it's way more mechanically interesting than like, any other part of the psyker-exclusive kit including weapons/blitzes/etc

and now you have a bunch of psykers running the damn revolver or columnus instead

royal vortex
#

hey i use laspistol

dense field
minor sage
#

what do you think of old vs new laspistol josho

#

on psyker

royal vortex
#

new laspistol feels better to shoot and doesn't strain my hand as much

#

either works

ripe quest
#

Wait does the new laspistol also have the force push?

royal vortex
#

should

zenith topaz
#

anyone know if there is a zealot melee weapon that has decent cleave and can stagger elites?

fading vale
#

old laspistol is strictly better imo cause more spam for crits, and new one feels more like a gun

royal vortex
#

if those are the two categories u value the highest then u want the crusher

dense field
#

I use laspistol for a psyker too, it's fun but i have no idea what am I doing

zenith topaz

I would not classify what BM Caxe has as cleave

Except the PA

#

Isn't crusher like the form-fit perfect answer for that question?

zenith topaz
#

something like power sword XD

#

crusher is good

dense field
#

Oh

zenith topaz
#

ill jsut use that

sharp zodiac
#

Alright that wasn't a good first run

#

Let's try that again

royal vortex
#

i'd definitely recommend checking out the crusher guide in the pins if you aren't too familiar with the weapon

ripe quest
#

Evis fits it fairly fine too

fading vale
#

an hsword with punishment and headtaker/deathblow might also somewhat fit the bill, but it's not going to stagger everything

royal vortex
#

lotta people end up using it poorly and then getting a bad impression (not saying that's what you're doing but i see it quite often)

zenith topaz
#

im familiar, on a 2nd zealot just trying different weapons, but got too used to veteran aha

open bramble
#

I should probably dump a ton of time into crusher. I have a really well rolled one, and everyone loves the weapon

No we just got swarmed and my teammate barreled me off the edge

#

the blunt weapons in this game feel comical

the stun lock is insanely strong, but i want something that just does giga dmg at same time

#

Crusher should get whatever ragdolls FS gave XIIIg Chainsword

#

It's so nutty

royal vortex
#

ogryn shield literally just throws bruisers and shit around when you kill em

dense field

It's good but sounds and visuals need to be more gory

i kinda like it being more tame

fading vale
royal vortex
#

cuz like police forces in 40k use it for riot control

zenith topaz
#

yea ill check it out

royal vortex
#

i do want a dif variant of the crusher though

#

one with the flanged mace model as the base

#

im not sure what they would do with it beyond making it remember what part of the combo you're in when you activate like hammer

fading vale
#

I wish the crusher model was more meaty, it just seems a bit lame to me

It's a bit different though

I feel like the only reason to like claw is the parry

i couldnt use the new chaxe until they added revving sounds to the lights. it was literally just hitting guys with a blunt object

it sounded like a mace
