You can play with your blessings in mind. I use Haymaker and riposte sometimes.
Because lacerate is good.
The world doesn't collapse on knife builds because you're not taking the two loudest safe choices.
Lacerate uncanny top damage top plasteels pickup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr-EvhuKUvs
Reddit most hated playstyle is back. A bit rusty from a few days not playing the game.
This build utilises momentum rather than piety. More speed and more attack speed, but less crit. I actually think this one is better. Lower sustain dps but more survivability due to longer dodge from momentum keystone. Also a lot faster run speed.
Patch 1.2.22...
why not just run fleshtearer
Because lacerate is better for horde clear.
yah i know
You can get scourge up super easy.
with a crit build you're getting more crits than not in a horde already
epic misreply
Scoreboard of lacerate uncanny body shot mostly.
If you're not interested in critical hits then that's fine and not too worry some on horde management.
Only 312 weakspot hits.
It's all very doable.
thats fair
Performance on the build I ran even with my changes to it still had me doing solid enough on my runs. I still had to play a little more intently compared to everyone else but it wasn't torturous at least. That's my only metric for builds.
If it ain't the most painful fucked up experience, I'll probably run it.
I run flesh tearer uncanny on vet and psyker. But on zealot lacerate performs so much better with scourge.
I still haven't gotten a flesh tearer blessing I think
Double bleed knife is really strong on zealot also.
I literally just need that one specifically for my vet knife collection
You can 1 shot body shot crit a shooter elite and it dies.
wheres the all lacerate knife picture

This is debatable. It'll make the knife better with crowds compared to non-bleed knives, but this crowd damage still doesn't compete with other weapons.
Yes we're comparing knife blessings. Knife won't touch bm axe or heaven forbid heavy sword 9.
In term of horde clear.
But I know i'd rather use a knife than heavy sword I have to carry a game.
It doesn't even compare to a BM Taxe or a Mk XII Chaxe
Even with double bleed I can deal with crushers easily using knife.
I'm not comparing bleed knife to specifically meta options, I'm just laying it out compared to everything.
I'm very comfortable running bleed knife against everything. 
Compelled.
Muh blood
Yeah that's fine, I'm sure you are. I just want to lay it out for the record that it's not great compared to other options. I know the feeling, I used to run pre-13 Chaxe and Dclaw because I thought it was fun. Could even perform well with them, but they weren't good at the time.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't run it, run whatever it's a fun thing to do.
What other options if we're strictly speaking about knife?
I doubt any other blessings pairing can clear horde on knife as fast as double bleed.
What is BD? 
Build

I prefer my knives clean
brunt having a t3 blessing?
Wait this looks cool where is this from
is stability important on colum iag
Whos hotter, hadron or enginseer?
What you think you are
What really happens:
Greenland shark
Oh no you can hold that. It's me.
I'll actually stand on that
I'm the "not like the other knives" knife creature.
Now. We not talking about what happened to me yesterday playing vt2 and mistiming my dash on handmaiden and getting sniped by a leech I could've just dodged normally.
Are you the hillbilly
I need to make space ;_;
Yes
I think it's called blood blockade something
Blood Blockade Battlefront.
Character you're seeing is using sanguinomancy nonsense.
I think multiple characters use some kind of blood techniques or whatever. I never finished it.
Eat your hands.

low finesse oof
what's a good gun to pair with crit dclaw? tried a lot but can't find one that clicks
Piety or Momentum for Combat Blade 3?
Usually with a Dclaw I prefer an anti-Crusher weapon. Revolver, Boltgun, any DPS ranged weapon with Fury of the Faithful.
Depends on your blessings
it pretty much has to be revolver
worth?
Uncanny+Precog on my knife
Momentum then
Id say so
revolver so slow to reload 
bolter and plasma work as well, but they dont really work too well on zealot
dclaw main issue is that it can't deal with cara, so you need a gun that can solve that
i dont have any tier 4s for the heavy sword, its pretty good as is though, put flak on
imagine if the heavy sword special downgraded armor type on the target hit
'opening them up for combo' ๐ฉ
I would just swap both the perks
the blessings are good
Flak to +5% crit?
I wouldn't be surprised if fs did that
HS is already stupid enough
it would increase the skill ceiling
๐ค
Piety with Precog will get you a higher avg. damage but it'll be tied to crit chance for consistency. Judgement will be more consistent but less damage.
Judgement also gives attack speed, some people like it.
it would be cool if it could also downgrade maniac/unyielding just for parity and so the weapon doesn't literally turn into a ticklestick on bosses
nah, too OP
Would probably just be a blessing that gives brittle on a special attack, iirc it already exists in the files.
that would also fixes things
yes for blessings
bought
HSword special already has pretty silly numbers
ok but what if it gave me a cookie too
The best trade deal in the history of trade deals
Fatshark sponsored cookie clicker minigame
melk buck generator
this screenshot fills me with joy
Blessings that generate ordo dockets and crafting mats 
I would kill for something like that on a Chainsword
chainsword that spends ordos every rev
rev sound is the sound of a till opening
Should I really be doing the most damage here with Crusher, while there's a purge psyker, another zealot with evis, and a plasma vet?
all the weapons have that blessing by default
cuz weapons help u chop heretics
and chopping heretics results in winnning missions
which gives rewards
#thinksmart

that's why i swapped all my qurios from 30% more dockets to more impactful perks, if i more consistantly clear aurics that's worth more than the docket-loss, plasteel too!
crusher is very good
no argument there, but still... a plasma vet?
eh, can be done
the other zealot makes some sense, the dump stat on their evis was damage 
who needs that anyway
Pacifist runs and speedrunning duos have something to say about that
I've seen some dogshit Plasma users. Like "oh this is a horde clear ranged weapon" skill level.
really enjoying this with crusher and kanty so far
some guys will insist on using the plasma gun on every single ranged enemy they see ever
Purge the Unclean is a solid alternative to Desperation
and will be orange/red ammo before mid event
couldn't be me
I eat all the ammo on the map
schlurp schlurp schlurp
whereas the plasma gun only really needs to be fired at specials and even then
you could argue that solo specials can be meleed too
What's the best way to deal with flak ragers as dagger zealot? If I engage them in melee I feel I get slapped before I take them down
shoot them
wait between attacks
to stab them
should be a three shot kill with headshots
2 with a crit?
ah im using flamer
So its not particularly hard. You can dip in after an attack finishes, attack, dodge out before the next one starts
You either bully them with Fury/Shroudfield, shoot them, or time hits.
chastise into them for stagger
A Flamer will get rid of them.
^
and then that
also throwing knives
since you're using flamer
two shot kill on ragers with throwing knives
1 on naked ragers iirc with headshot
and gives you reach on longer ranged threats
With light buffs up you can 2 shot without crits.
Easier on the III
and animation cancels your heavy weapon equip ๐
not really cancels
it speeds it up
but you still have to wait
true
But I get your point.
That's a good base?
yes
Yeah that's fine
Wait i already have 2 others i'm stupid
what do you think about thunderous on thunder hammer?
Gambled on brunt for nothing
so headtaker and thrust or?
Thrust + Slaught/Headtaker
thrust and either headtaker or slaughterer
unyielding is a msut for perks too
and what is good on heavy sword?
deathblow and uh.... shit whats the other blessing
headtaker
yea headtaker
rampage is also ok over deathblow but not regarded as well
a candle
What's the main difference between the two thammer? Like which one is special dmg and which one is general dmg?
he had seen this photo 600 times before this
crucis is higher dmg on special, ironhelm special can cleave through trash to hit priority targets but has less dmg potential
both crowd clear p similarly except you can throw lights in or just h1 h2 block cancel for ironhelm ig
I've got a question about the flamer's blessing Overpressure
It says up to +5% power
well, the answer you're not looking for is it only applies to the shooting dmg and not the burn so it's not good atm
So does that mean at 5 stacks, you only get an extra 5% extra power?
nah 5 x 5
but it's not good atm because the burn dmg is where flamer's dmg actually happens
25% max
Ok wonderful
Another question: I've already got Blaze Away, which gives me at max an extra 40% extra power when the mag is half-gone, so should I stack that with Ovepressure? Or should I get Inspiring Barrage?
should i buy just for deathspitter4?
could there be multiple knife blessings sets depending on skill selection
idk why but i don't really like shottys in this game
If you main shooshgun and you want it, sure.
i find them pretty good
Overpressure currently doesn't work, once they fix it it'll be a good pair for BA. Currently it's just whatever you want for the 2nd blessing.
8 meters iirc
WOW yeah, real close
ngl i wish showstopper wasn't hot trash, it seems like a pretty fun blessing
Im running Stealth
Just Uncanny + Precog/Executor. Some people like Haymaker and bleed (nothing new there) but you don't get a whole lotta cleave to do much with either.
knife always takes uncanny
executor will buff the cleave a little but not really enough to matter
i though there was a mercykill and lacerate set
no.
Alright ill try that combo
Is tge old knife use this too?
Alright, current flamer. Could be better, but not by much.
75 burn ouch
Yeah.
76 is the max stack BP lol
Thanks
BP?
breakpoint
breakpoint
what's that?
uh the point at which a stat or something makes a difference
and it doesnt really tbh
aka you get 1 more max burn stack at 76 burn
:\
most shit just dies long before max stacks
I mean it's fine without max, just good for things like ogryns and bosses
kk
thoughts on which of the two to replace with blaze away?
neither are great from how i understand they work
but on paper they both seem cool
showstopper needs a rework
showstopper is pretty terrible all around and in theory overpressure will be fixed
it should be made awesome
It would be totally Fatshark to doom Overpressure to being a 14 damage buff
literally change one variable
hopefully that variable change wasn't intentional
hell yea
damn im on a 21 game auric win streak
I can change that for you if you want
wtf
twitch why dont you even pretend to embed
w/e
late addition to that knife conversation earlier
why
You can 1 shot weakened bosses with knife
yea but this is way more fun

and it sends a message ๐ช
Oh it certainly sends a message
but also the team was already fighting a stimky'd chaos spawn so i didnt wanna drop the aggro
is perfectionist worth it for shroudfield?
sometimes they just immediately leap away at the next target
perfectionist is kinda meh unless you really wanna oneshot certain things
yeah that's what i was thinking
Hit 1m damage. Lost, but still hit the number.
i assume finesse is like crit power in vermintide
so kinda eh lol unless you have something with a big finesse modiifer
i don't think crucis thunder hammer does tho lol
Finesse buffs weakspot, critical, and critical weakspot damage
so buffed crit power ๐
lol i just jynxed myself anyways, next one will be a loss
i don't think weakspot was buffed in there anyways
i don't really ult unless there's a boss or a crusher but maybe in the higher diff it'll be more apparent
the cooldown increase
It's fun because having +weakspot and +crit damage together is actually better than having +finesse
But if you substract your overkill damage....
So Duellist goes ham with a +100% critical weakspot buff
Shhhhhhhh
On Knife that's like 70% damage
duelist is mad
true
On most weapons it's minimum 20%
i picked it up and wollah
amazing horde clear
and more of a middle finger to maulers i suppose
is it just me or does it take a sec for a hit to register in shroud field?
3 seconds kinda short, but feel like when i charge and then ult with heavy i stay in the effects
Because it was a lot of enemies and very slow going
im scared
naked ogyrns
there's a gimmick to shroudfield
you can ult midswing to boost that attack
and then you'll still be in your ult
so basically double the output
sometimes i also see the ult instantly refresh itself when it ends but i have no damn idea how to replicate that
with every passing second the 6s stealth sounds more appealing 
what's that gun ?
think just having it off cooldown would be kewl for boss fights or a free get out of jail card for double the length
thx for the input y'all
its a bug that gonna be fixed later
its an old one like 2 months+ old
ive never been able to intentionally replicate it
i can't see channe;
the most sane emperor worshipper
trust him or he'll cronch you
give you the ole latrine shovel
Didn't they fix that? I know that interaction at the very least no longer works for chain weapons.
can someone show me to the armor type for the twins?
flak?
I took unarmored and it worked well so i assume unarmored somewhere
its gonna be so good
cant wait
It seems like it's gonna be a totally different game, unless they kept the arrow commands in some way
they're flak on a horizontal swing and carapace on an overhead swing
The thrill of hitting that four button prompt for team revive as you're being closed in on from all sides, just barely getting to throw it as you get misted
Unparalleled
so I shouldn't be shooting for the face? I should treat them like maulers and shoot for the body
carapace head, flak, a tiny bit of unarmoured
double barrel with the dual flash hiders i can't
power down sword lady's shield first, then turn around and blast dudebro's shield and continue to do damage to him specifically until he's dead
with everyone focus firing on dudebro, his health will drop to the stage advance before he can get up
Yea I ahve the hardmode banner
felt unreasonably easy
ran it with some professionals
depends on weapon, but generally
believe they also just straight up take less headshot dmg too
I ASSURE YOU, MUTANT, I CAN APPLY FORCE WITH THIS STAFF WITHOUT ANY WARP TREACHERY
well, because carapace
no beyond that
maybe
on a scale of usable - scuffed thoughts?
I'm thinking scuffed, speedload is bad
served it's purpose thoug
could be to do with the vanishing act at certain health levels
you have dumdum but holy shite them perks son
switch em right now
i demand it
sprint efficiency stamina
bad stopping power too
The 5% crit seems to be way more than 5% or this infantry gun
that's because of crit strings
it has crit strings
Agree with Vin here, slap crit damage perk on over unarmoured 
switch perks to flak/maniac if you want crit use piety
played for so long and no one had explained it to me
no 
I don't remember the exact number for columnus was it 5 or something?
Yea
piety alone really could carry it for you
perks I can change no problem there
I prefer speedload on psyker, but it's still nice
speedload is like okay
What do you mean you'd rather have 25% more damage all the time, over 10% more damage some of time 
Also, the stopping power roll.
dumdum is the main thing you want on IAG's second is kinda preference, but you can get more situational dmg with stuff like rakin
2% more damage some of time*
love having 2% more damage
There's deathspitter and firefrenzy obv
Would you rather have 25% damage all the time or 5.6% some of the time
so this one is servicable
I have one with dumdum stripped down that I honestly really like
now slap lacerate on that
now throw it in the garbage disposal
With those stats?
Is it really 5.6%? 
On the IAGs yeah
and fire akari from a cannon
The crit damage is a bit lower
That's pathetic innit
I don't think I have a great knife
worth doing anything with?
It doesn't help that it's smaller than the damage perks and relies on a crit chance. Also it isn't even a +finesse it's specifically whichever one and critical weakspot damage.
If the weakspot and critical damage perks were higher it'd be a bit more reasonable
Do you all prefer knife 3 or 6
Yeah, hold X on it in your inventory and get a thundah hammah 
Knife's greatest strength is the single target, and the Mk III does it better.
I prefer it to the VI
this is so close to being THE roll
could do infested to flak and rampage to headtaker
same, though dont have much exp with 6
Fr though that looks pretty good, change infested and maybe deathblow
Yeah what Vin said
Or actually you may want to do maniac instead of flak, you should have the rager 1 shot bp
When they reworked it
When it carried first target dmg to 5 targets
and BM
and become disgusting
Rampage not good for HS?
I thought it was 4 targets
Rampage is nice
HSword's heavies do first target twice by default
o

Huh, mb
rampage is good, headtaker is better
it's on hit power and still has the higher % than rampage cuz its special on HS
Prior to deathblow the meta was rampage headtaker
The Mk IX's H2 and H3 though don't have the first target 2x thing
wait wrong ping
we roll it?
exhil that was meant for NDH
guesses on how scuffed it;; be
Roll that bih ong no cap
#zealot-class message new DB
oh yeah HS is 40% power on headtaker
yuh
That too
I have to do pushups and shit because of that
mmmm
Because of course we have different values for the same blessing
Trust
it could be better
and that clip was before ragers had hp reduced so that's even easier to do now
gotta go kill some heretics
Nerd
Go in psyk and see if that 1 hits either rager type
with or without ability?
without
w/ ht stacks?
yea you'll probably need em
Everyone needs to shit, you're not special
wrong
i do love the original soundtrack, but music like that really gets me goin playin this
with HT stacks and some minor buffs, can 1 shot naked ragers with overhead, takes 2 for flak armored ones
Wakeup, shit, eat breakfast, get out of bed.
sounds like a filthy bed
DoA?
If you can reach the 1 shot for maniac ones without much setup, then honestly keep it that way and have flak on it
Unarmored is alright
yeah no unarmored does nothing for you on hs

I'd rather be given death
how do you get this menu?

Good evening
How exactly does BLOODLETTER work with Zealotยดs Furious CXharge?
what do you mean
will it apply bleed i neveryone I hit for 3s
Or will it preemptively bleed the target of my charge - which needs me to hold the button a little bit for extended charge
Bloodletter bless = bleeds stacks in yoru special
the special attack for the weapon
as in the rev attack for the chain weapon
not the class special
Id eat this creature tbh
[oh]
tigrus mark XV
eviscerator build
i tihnk then perhaps bloodletter isnt the best blessing
what best bless you recommend for it?
shred +rampage?
bloodthirsty would be a good replacement if you want to discriminate against crushers
shred rampage is good as well
aaah, I see. rev and attack on crusher head
yep
bloodthristy+rampage my beloved
I do like the XV, I wish I liked it as much as I liked the II

I'm actually kinda salty
My brother's very antisocial friend planned a whole "social week" where he did nothing but very social activities the whole week, and one of the days was finally playing darktide since he's a 40k fan, and having a full group for it
It was gonna be 3 new players (brother and 2 of his friends) and me and we planned it on a day where we all were avaliable
Then last night they said "actually we wanna do something different on that day so we're now doing it on Saturday, and we'll just do it without you cuz you're working that day"
Oh noh..
I know that feeling and it fucking SUCKS
damn, that's rough buddy

HARK YE KINDRED, YE FAM LACK FรF
I feel like I'd freak out on a person if they scrombled long laid plans to specifically not involve me
Not 100% sure that I would
but I like to think I would erupt
to some degree
What would you guys put on Curios for a Martyrdom melee-focused build?
Anything for Toughness/ Toughness Regen speed
youll be taking a lot of hits and its good to keep it up
blessings for assault chainsword mk4?
Toughness/Toughness Regeneration Speed/... health?
Toughness regen only affects coherency regen, which is shut off during melee combat
so Combat Ability Regeneration maybe? For more charges?
Nope
Sorry for slow responses, I'm at work
Combat ability only gives 4%, 12% at 3 perks
That's like 3-4 seconds less at the most
nw take your time^^
So if I use a flamer and hit a Scab Stalker....they are considered Flak Armor and Unarmored depending on where you hit them. Am I doing damage-over-time to each of their body parts or something? If I took +25% Flak damage, would that still proc? What if I took +25% unarmored?
just something I was thinking about
Most ideal zealot perks are gunner resist
Toughness
And another resist of your choice (most go for sniper) OR stamina regen
oh yeah gunner resist that makes sense
I think flamer hits only target the chest area
they're basically the ones who always get me
so it'll count as flak
ohhhh that's interesting
same for purgatus
Im trying to think of what's a good damage perk to take that's NOT unyielding
that'll help with hordes
Gunners resist is multiplicitiven so it isn't 60% with 3 perks, but it is like 51% or something
They become a non issue
Esp with twbs
Infested
I thought about it and it seemed kinda limiting. There's only the Infested trash mob and the dogs, from what I remember
and Pox Burster
Though only something I'd use if you're barely away from one-hitting poxwalkers on a headshot and can't use purge the unclean from the talent tree
Found this really old knife clip when I was just messing around with friends
Got a 3k
Wonderful. Thanks for the help, emperor bless you :3
I still prefer 3 cuz like
What else am I gonna take
Infested also doesn't get affected by uncanny strike, which is why my knife is infested unarmored
+30% ordo dock
Revive speed, stamina regen, block efficiency
oh snap i didn't know this. So going 3 Gunner Resist isn't worth then?
that's what i got currently
My zealot curios are health toughness and stamina, corruption, block
Did you check first to see if you could hit BPs with other perks? You can get like 1-2 shot BPs on elites with other ones.
Yeah, I compensated a bit with the other stuff
For example, disdain to two-hit gunners

Already got like 12m lole
Using Disdain to hit a BP on anything with low cleave just isn't it
It already only works every other swing
I found out the swing part doesn't matter
For the purpose I use it
If I do not have disdain, that means I used it and can get it next hit
If I do, I can use the damage boost
Either way I do one boosted and one normal attack
All because I missed a few units of damage on a fucking gunner
0% pen....
wtf is that thing hanging in there
penis
looks like it
sucks buddy
how do i unlock that
why this game hate me
thumb sized pinto
first thumb I ever lost to that axe
uniform bilau
i thought that was gonna be some ogryn p*rn shit
That Laspistol looking like a Tarkov gun
is this serviceable?
somewhat salvageable tbh
block to flak or maniac
rev to rampage
salvaged
My goto blessing is def rampage + savage sweep for evis
wasted 700k godl tryign to get a 365+ XV eviscerator
feels bad
only got one... that had 50% damage lol
you don't need 365+ lol
XV can dump mobility and semi-dump cleave
so you can get a pretty good one even at 330+
My man I don't even need to play the game. I just like optimization
you like optimizing the dump stats?
about to play with these 2 in a match. to see which goes first, which of these 2 is better?
in terms of weapons, they're both good. but zarona is a bit better on zealot/psyker
agri I think you can really only make it work on vet
You can kinda get it to work on Zealot if you really like the quickloader, it'll be worse than a Zarona but still a Revolver. Will notably handle small elites worse with the lack of cleave but bigger elites handle about the same.
is the buster sword evis or the mk4 better for a scrub?
Which Evis? And by Mk IV do you mean the Chainsword?
mk 2 or mk XV
The Mk II will handle crowds better and is more of a generalist, the Mk XV is better with single target. If you don't want to think about combos use the XV, if you want general coverage use the II.
yeah xv seems more friendly for crowds with the light spam
dump stat?
prolly mobility?
That is for the Mk2
not Mk15
yes
That's enough chiv 2, gotta check in on melk now
wait so with momentum
are you basically just unkillable in a horde?
lol
i mean that's kinda zealot in general
but
not with momentum
but in general yeah you're pretty much unkillable
here's a braindead evis15 build you can try if you wanna just be unkillable
basically all you need to do is press F, dash to enemies and spam left click
just tryna get all my classes to the passible level in damnation {weapons with some damage and synchrocity} then i'll go back through and perfect
this one is pretty much unkillable
Point cost
Second wind is a nice grab and that build is running crit CDR, so Scourge is gonna get grabbed.
okay what about blood redemption? that perk seems kinda like a no brainer for survivability
the idea is that if you don't take hp damage
you don't need to take points that reduce hp dmg
Blood Redemption just gives you 2.5% extra toughness on melee kill
It's ok ig, but it's not a priority really
ohhhh ok
so the dash gets you guaranteed crit, scourge just increases chances of crit after
they should really change the wording on that lol it looks more appealing than it is
The thing about blood redemption is it primarily makes hordes better for your toughness, but ideally hordes don't need such boosts
Typical Fatshark stuff.
dont be mean to fatshark gys
all they have is like 5 billion dollars to make a game good
god after building up vet the other classes seem so flavorless lol
so many passives on vet
Zealot at least has some choices, but psyker worries me
I came for the evis15 build, but Psyker needs more horizontal variability, too many locked talents.
i want immolation grenades but they kinda jib you out of the free dom of choice
Vet's grenade choice is awesome
the answer is krak
thatโs after the update
Vet's tree was Fatshark learning not arbitrarily limiting people is healthy
Shame the grenade choice doesn't apply to the othed horizontal nodes and we still need 2 points just to travel across the tree
In a way I kinda miss VT2's tree
What if
The tree was tiered vertically and we didn't have paths
Just point requirements
Say, you have the start of vet's tree with longshot, that DR one and sprint efficiency
Putting points into any would unlock the talents below, those being headshot toughness, reload, aura radius, CK, tac reload and out for blood
Then you spend points on those and unlock the travel nodes below
No paths, just picking whatever in any order only filling point requirements
๐ค
It would mean you wouldn't need to travel back and forth between trees
But talents would need to be rearranged a bit and maybe have point requirements balancing the better talents
Or else the player could do something like pick elite damage, onslaught, rending strikes and ogryn damage by just point requirements
If I remember, I'll make a small diagram after I'm done working
I'm trying to think of a game that does this system
it would also mean we would go back to pre-tree rework patch
Kind of
It would be similar to those, but the player wouldn't be locked to one choice per line
Let's say onslaught is in the 20th horizontal line of the vet tree
I love titan's quest tree/grim dawn
If you reached onslaught with points
You'd be able to pick any talent on that line
And all of them if you want
Yeah, it's pretty much like Grim Dawn
That's a good example
oh i see
Imagine those numbers on the bottom are levels
It's like that that I see, minus the paths locking skills
insert pre-talent tree update here
I mean you need some path locking, like blitz trees
insert vermintide tree here
Or maybe tie all rending skills together into prerequisites
Auras, blitzes and keystones would still lock each other, yeah
That just isn't it. It's a great way to make our powercreep issues way worse until they eventually nerf everything into the ground to make up for the freedom the system offers.
Or just make t6 
TIL
what does this mean...
Well, if we apply the system to the exact trees we have, we're screwed
what are the other class iconic features?
Ogryn has 20% HP DR and 36% TDR innately.
Zealot abandons the team and psyker dies to poxwalkers
I'll redo the vet tree Grim Dawn style after work
I'm confident it'll be interesting
Oh it's the revive uninterruptable thing.
If you remember, tag me please 
Just a disclaimer that I won't present a game-ready tree without issues
The idea is just pathing and making intertree (I'm eloquent) builds less of a hassle
Silence gay cat
i dont think it would work as intended, as arpgs are meant to work that way: cool stuff is locked behind points investments for the purpose of the progression effect, while in darktide, the way i see it, its locked behind levels for the purpose of keeping the player in check so they dont suddenly power creep everything outside their level
Well, we technically have that too
path of exile tree > grim dawn tree
Rending strikes is all the way down the middle
The keystones are the last part of the tree
Well technically a game like an ARPG does lock you being levels and progress
Some of these builds NEEDS
Certain point investment
Though we have wacky shit at the start too
which is technically levels
yeah but i think that is so you have a big point investment for a good perk. locking you out of other good options if you want to go all the way down (or it should)
Honestly the Darktide trees don't make much sense too
You get confirmed kill for 2 points
Basically every vet has it and it's the talent vets use
every class needs a way of replenishing toughness and usually that is the first few points investments, tho i do agree its a bit overtuned
Yeah, the game doesn't have a properly thought tax for these things
It's one of the weird parts of it
Zealot gets 25% ranged damage for 1 point
25% ranged damage within 8 meters
Another one and they get 20% to infested and unyielding
Hadron plz
Shit what a fat node
Absolute chonker
i cant really complain tbh, considering that the old ultra basic talent tree with almost no identity whatsoever was fatshark pattern, i think this is a huge step for them. i would assume their balance team is still developing their skills towards this more deep and complex changes
It pulls a good amount of weight yeah.
