Fr
I have an extensive collection, I love reading owo
Lmao just saw a reddit thread saying knife was better at pissblade for crowd clear
Aint no way
Surely its satire
Power sword
Why is it called pissblade
Get with the program stan
There were so many people saying it and multiple people had super short fuses for arguing so probs not.
Man
I blame exhillious
Knife users cannot hear a valid argument over the sound of their furious clicking to attack
Like I saw "Mk VI powersword can 2 shot a crusher sure but it's slow as shit" and "we all know knife is a crutch weapon for players who are bad at the game"
NO WHAT THE FUCK
Lol
Iโm a stud. Iโm ballsy. I clear my hordes with a devils claw.
That's what the Dclaw is meant for yeah
I see emily coins didn't stick this time
Knife is easily the weapon people are most delusional about, anyway unrelated, glad there's no official scoreboard
I never went with coins cause he said this immediately after
Ah i missed that
Can we not talk about knife so Dough doesn't feel tempted to make any more The Shining blood elevator memes
Nah they just straight up don't know how bad they're doing most of the time
Its a shame friendly fire isnt a thing. It would totally make matches harder, but it WOULD let me shoot knife users for fun
Regardless of level
Dunno
๐
The Shining freaks me out
Like with the bear sex
Well the shining is kinda meant to freak you out
Not that kind of bear sex
Says the man named Lemon Inheritance
finally got my meme zealot to level 30
I HATE THIS
now i just need actual good mallet thunderhammer
What does that have to do with it lol
Don't play coy with me
Oh god its awful
Is that a weapon from Starfield or fallout 4
P sure thats fallout
I like fallout guns they look neat
Unfortunatly, starfield guns don't look anywhere near as good.
Assault rifle should be smitten from the Earth
I kinda like that gun too
Have you solved any cases recenty
To be fair, I do like the look of the Grenade Machineguns
I wish they added more explosive options like they did in FNV
No, I am working on a real tough one at the moment. Someone beheaded a sledgehammer and left the head in some bushes. Still havn't found the body.
Are you sure the sledgehammer didn't have it coming? They can be pretty volatile
stan just learned what private eye means
Dough stop doxxing me 
doxxed!
There not being an official soundboard means I can make my own Darktide-related soundboards and no one will be able to stop me.
also I enjoy that my last couple pings have been wtf pings
3 of which are stan
Exhillious I missed you 
More fun than a pillow fight
stan I'm literally never gone
If you ping me I'm no more than 8 hours away from a response
One of these days I might be stan. You just never know.
Do you prefer saltines or oyster crackers
saltines generally
both?

Sometimes I'll eat a box and then be told it's unhealthy for a multitude of reasons
Eat another box
I'm still unsure of how to eat them
The Emperor protects
Idk if I put them in the soup or just eat them
After a certain rate of consumption you wouldn't be able to drink enough water to keep up
Dip them in the soup and then eat them
That's a problem for weaker, lesser beings
NO
DIPPINGS DIPPINGS DIPPINGS
it's chicken noddles
idk chicken noodle soup is never something I would go out of my way for
Do you like soup
I don't have any issue with soup just don't really eat a lot of soup
An interesting theory 
chicken noodle boring as hell though
Panera's autumn butter nut squash soup slaps
My friend just texted my friend group "I'm peeing myself" with no context

better than shitting himself i guess
Oh the context is that an annoying coworker is getting fired
Is it?
I'll pee myself when fatshark releases any news
will you send proof?
I will not
Put police tape around a designsted piss corner โข๏ธ
Oh I guess that's your bathroom
Nvm
lol
i feel so great after helping this guy i met in pubs, seems he got some really shit advice from people he thought knew what they were talking about until he loaded into a mission with me where i was able to explain why those things were bad, and what other options he could consider and why
he was told the infantry MG IV lasguns was the best vet weapon for example, and he told me he was so confused why it wasnt doing what he was told it would do
i dont think this guy knows how accurate this statement is
Hi cole
24 hours until laz pisses himself
Is the IV bad then? I heard it was one of the better ones now, equal with Ia :/
It's fine but far from Vet's best weapon.
Haven't tried either because I'm still scarred by how terrible they used to be
honestly I struggle to see the appeal of them in general vs the v7 HH
Ah, k
Ia is strictly better
Fancy Sci fi weapons
same
Good to know.
the headhunters and IAGs simply slap
and i never liked the aesthetic of las anyways
Compared with Laspistols?
headhunter deadly accurate vs dumdum+whatever
idk how I would quantify it as a non vet main
I still think the XII is the better of the three just simply due to easier BPs and it being able to shit out it's total damage a bit faster.
but I feel you can pump the top end of a inflas more than you can the las pistol
but zealot likes las pistol
But the IV vs. the Ia is if you want higher total ammo vs. higher dps
cause it's great baseline
I dunno why, but the Relic has been my go-to ult ever since I tried it. I even managed to push a Daemonhost off a ledge into the abyss with it.
12 is literally just "i wish i was v7 HH" tbh
i dont think it really does anything better
I don't like how weak laspistols feel tbh, I don't want to have to triple click a head
You sure? Depending on the armor type it's hitting up to 50% harder.
On Zealot I can't stop using a Zarona, because I love to reload during a etc etc etc
I think the MG La is better because Hadron hasn't given me a good Mk12 since release ๐
I have unironically spent millions of dockets and over a hundred thousand plasteel
granted this is in totality
neither can oneshot gunner w/o crit
unless you exec
The trouble with execution stance
its why i say it just wishes it was v7 HH
Is everything about execution stance
For most armor types they're about similar in terms of damage but Lasguns have worse Flak performance in exchange for better Maniac damage. Also just a completely different type of ammo economy.
Because it is a clunky piece of shit of an ability
That wishes it was half as cool as Scrier's Gaze
Motive at the time remains unknown. But it wouldn't surprise me if a wall somewhere got tired of being beaten down and decided to do some "remodeling" of its own.
v7 HH can still oneshot all maniacs besides ragers
Is it a case of one of them hits the BP with exec or do both.
The burden of not having an INCOMPARABLE MIND again.
since it has surg unlike the infantry las you can actually rely on it too
Do walls usually snap like this
Walls only break when you hit them hard enough
How hard depends on the wall
Why don't you arrest all the walls you see just to be sure
also v7 basically has bottomless ammo as well
u can run non-surv if you dont care about your team and only pick up a few ammo a game
That's structural profiling, and it goes against precinct policy.
I already lost my medical license, I don't want to lose my badge too
Both Lasguns and HHs are solid with ammo.
How did you lose your medical license
I paid $100 for the Starfield Deluxe edition
And that makes you lose your license?
Yes. Frankly, I got off lightly. Should have served time for that one.
When the patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again
Why has Bethesda gone from making some of the greatest games to shitting the bed
Oh actually, one thing that might lean into Lasguns a bit is that they have higher finesse. Not sure how much it skews it but if the damage is already similar you can probs pump it up higher.
Patient waking up in an ice bath UwU
Because most of their games were actually pretty mid
NO
๐
Uhhhh no
Oblivion???
You ever hear of the Ship of Thesus? Same thing happens to developers all the time.
Especially with there being so many "Stress Casualties" in the industry
js
even if you run unarmored/flak

u literally just cant oneshot gunners with 12
its not even close (without a crit)
so that alone already really hurts it compared to v7
Not to mention cyclical hiring. One way to never make a good game again is to fire all your talent every 5 years
i dont think it kill rager much faster either as long as you can click heads
only problem with v7 is its very feast or famine
all the dmg is in the finesse values
so if ur bodyshotting its kinda trash
Bethesda have never been wholly great
Actually they're quite comparable to Fatshark imo
Elements that are so good you can forgive the jank
But by the Emperor, the jank is real
I think Fatshark tends towards being more fun imo
they've historically been very ambitious but alot of jank, which is forgiven because of the ambition, starfield lacked ambition
stares at crafting system
Why worry about ambition when you can re-release the same game for 100 different systems for a decade though
counterpoint: starfield had too much ambition. It's a mile wide and an inch deep.
Yes, that would be the jank
i just got ledged from a teammate barrelling me
didnt get rescued because the 3 poswalkers were of more importance
then all of them died within 15 seconds of me being left to die
Wait I just realized your hammer has a stethoscope
Do detectives carry Syria
I use it to solve crimes
Stethoscopes
the problem from what i gather that most people had was that it very much more of the same and shallower in terms of environment
You learn quick that you absolutely cannot die with randos
How
I hold it up to a suspects chest to see if they're lying to me
i know that, if im down once the mission is already lost
Sounds like you were stuck with a bunch of heretical scunners
ok slight correction
i can accept that
I don't think that's how it works
I'll have a look at them later. Currently working through Zealot weapons rn. On paper the XII Lasgun and the VII HH are super similar with certain key differences that still kinda seem to equal them out.
dreg you can oneshot with +unarmored but you have to be about 15m~
but i cannot accept when its solely due to the actions of my team
More accurate than a lie detector. I have never had a false positive on a houseplant.
Houseplants don't have hearts
much more strict than v7 where you can hipfire it and it still os bp
Exactly. They also don't tell lies
Randoms are why I wholeheartedly believe bots are better than players
there's one othe rproblem too
v7 has no sway after dodge
mg12 does
makes it annoying to use as well
So one failing a lie detector test casts doubt on the machine, not the plant.
The XII has a better hipfire profile than the VII HH
at the ranges you hipfire iether of them, 12 suffers from inverse dmg falloff
The Lasguns are plagued by some handling stuff, hard to use on non-Vet classes without the suppression immunity node.
so its not much of a benefit
the v7 hipfires fine anyway as long as you're not spamming it
which you really shouldnt be on either anyway
not having surg also hurts the 12 a lot tbh
You were just arguing that the VII has the upside w/ hipfiring. I'm just keeping it fair.
i cant rely on it for the critical bps
i was talking in th context of dropping gunners
with OS bp
i dont think you need to spam to hit their heads
its perfectly accurate on the first shot so as long as you let the recoil reset you can still drop a lot in a row
What would you do if you were hiking and suddenly your boots got stuck in sticky tar
Pea soup simulator?
I'm kidding I loved oblivion, but damn
Press F to charge clearly
The combat was mid
The gamd survived off pure writing
It was 2006
And maybe I'm being tough but that's just what Bethesda had
Yeah
I mean I played hundreds of hours
You can point blank but it requires a build with it in mind.
Seems easier to just stack crit chance for a general use build.
fair
I'm also not using +Unarmored or an ult
Though for Scab Gunners you need +Flak
or an active buff up
how?
im 200 dmg short
unless ur using kill zone
all dmg buffs taken on the tree ofc
or MF keystone stacks*
Point blank, using MF
i dont count using MF
not that its bad
but relying it for BP sounds scuffed
also means you cant take focus target + stam node to fuel more crits for crit bps
like if u count using MF then i'd say v7 can OS BP both ragers
man rashad ruined me, everything else feels so ass now
Without MF you would require an ult.
yeah
that's what i meant
its just extra hoops to jump through
and in the end neither gun can OS both ragers without help from something conditional
neither gun is good against carapace either (though v7 is a little better actually lol)
there's just not really an edge for 12
Yeah it would require a crit.
cant really rely on 12 for critting on demand either like i said
since eyou're forced to run HH and not Surg
Which is usually gonna be ~80% of the time instead of constant on a lasgun
This actually kinda makes me want to run that MF build I was using but with a Boltgun.
hi welcome back to another episode of "how did that grab me and why did 1 grab cause the end of a run"
I wonder what FS been working on lately. Hope we get a comms tomorrow.
Vermintide Versus mode

nods solemnly
I want new maps and balance overhaul in Darktide too
yea while practicing against chaos spawn in meat grinder when I dodged to the left it's higher chance of him grabbing me
i cant dodge to the right when theres a wall directly next to me
I know folks joke about DT being VT2 with guns, but I actually wouldn't mind if they copied more over from VT2. Sack rats, for example. Flails, akimbo weapons, perhaps
backward and right side both works from what i tried, but I meant on why u got grabbed. Left side dodge is cursed with chaos spawn
bread
That moment when a stray poxxer body blocks ye.
in this case i had no choice
dh right behind me (which the spawn would have pushed me back further into after i did this), wall to the right
If they had a talent that stopped enemies from blocking your dodges, I think that'd be a meta pick.
oh rip
nothing makes u more nervous than a monstrosity spawning near a DH haha
"please don't knock me into the DH pleeaaase"
my goal was to loop around the chaos spawn and get him inside that room he was coming from
so we would neither be on the bridge nor a DH
but the chaos spawn had other plans
yea i see what u mean
which is why it makes more sense why im sprinting directly in the direction of the chaos spawn there
hope he didn't throw u into the DH
i dont even know what caused the first stage of alertness either
You know, if they ever wanted to bring back platforming challenges, they could always have ye parkour over demonhosts.
well the ideal would be not getting grabbed from a 120 degree angle but yknow
As soon as you think you've figured out how DHs work...

but yeah that entire situation was fucked
I had a dream I was playing a multiplayer level, and it was really hard till I found an alternate path that skipped all the hard parts and was faster, but I could never convince my teammates to take that path.
I feel like DT might have given me a brand new anxiety.
like it seems at first glance that im being really fucking stupid but when you think about it im just hoping to turn it into a better playing field
cuz not doing that would ensure the game goes downhill fast
so it was either try to make it work or just die lmao
this is why we need the relic to be a javelin
The missile launcher or the sharp stick?
Sharp stick
It's still better than getting dreams about red gear, perfect rolls or fear of getting kicked because you rush ahead too much and poor fellas can't follow

In the dream I took the alt path by myself and my teammates bemoaned me for rushing ahead.
i fel like i regognise this name from here
I don't think I've ever been vote kicked once and I have a little over 300 hours, generally people just leave you to your fate unless you're being really toxic in chat
I had a whole dream of playing a new map in discord with Josho

just saw in Morningstar
a vision from the emperor!
sooon
Only had one DT map dream. Blue map, lots of stairs and bridges.
Thats about all I can recall.
I think mine was sewery with lots of stairs tunnels and bridges, also blue
Hmmm, visions from the emperor indeed.
also in this dream
I was being outdone by another hammer zealot and falling behind on boss damage
so you could say it was a nightmare I guess
it was me
i was that hammer zealot
I think I was playing Ogryn. I recall being mad that I was so big and the bridges/tunnels were too small.
lol
Couldn't dodge without slipping off or getting blocked
I sometimes have really life adjacent dreams if I wake up and then fall in and out of sleep, it's weird
Oh, those are the worst. Especially the ones where you keep waking up, but its still a dream.
One time, I woke up sleep paralyzed, and I was panicing because I knew if I couldn't get out of bed I'd fall asleep again.
I was like "NO! DON'T SEND ME BACK!"
wow you sound like you've experienced exactly the same shit
Just never sleep
If I don't wake myself up after dream cycle for long enough I've had sleep paralysis like 3 or 4 times
10/10 do not recommend
Pure agony. Thats the kind of stuff that could drive someone insane
start hallucinating irl and can't control your body
and it's usually bad things happening for whatever reason
I've been having very vivid dreams as of late. And I've been sleeping a lot more. 16 hours a day. Thankfully, they've been good dreams. So far.
just sitting there trying to like, scream for minutes and you can't wake up
16 hours?
what the hell
thankfully that's only happened like a couple times so it's fine
that is terrifying
sleep paralysis yeah
thankfully never had that
Yep. Wake up, go to work, repeat. I take breaks to eat/use the bathroom, but I am just so dang sleepy!
Ever try to punch or run in your dreams
That... cant be good
got very luck first and only time i had it, was snuggled up to irl friend on a beanbag lol
and was avare was it was
No, probably not, but my Rheumatologist didn't seem concerned.
1.1k here, never been kicked. I've initiated a vote kick every other game. 
I freaked my ex out but thankfully she woke me up, I was like writhing and making noises or something lol
do u know what causes that?
like not breathing properly or something like that?
I dont think ive ever had sleep paralysis but ive def had dreams so life adjacent it threw me off when i woke up really bad
i know a cause of it is stress
The body paralyzes itself during sleep to prevent sleepwalking.
but there are others
Stop reminding people it exists or we're gonna have a L4D2 type community

ohh ty
that's mean you're a meanie
there are other things that can cause it too
Uh, not well versed but I think it's maybe generally related to sleep health and mental health but don't quote me
gotcha, ty
Aye, but usually the paralysis itself comes from that feature.
I have a friend who got sleep paralysis and thought it was the funniest thing ever. They were saying it was typical sleep paralysis stuff but it was just "why is this funny" and then thought that idea itself was funny.
Our suffering is the cost of clairvoyance.
They can't call me mean if I just kick them 
(inb4 FS never releases the prophetic "blue map")
I've had shit where I wake up in my bed and like, a ghost is pulling my families limbs off
why
Ah, my sibling has had that one, but with animals.
damn
Tzeentch is just using you to find a new way to get on Nurgle's nerves
I've yet to get sleep paralysis but for a long period of time I'd get consistent lucid dreams.
Honestly, a blue Tzeentch-themed level would be pretty tight. Like, you're on a normal mission and you get sucked into a bizarro world Tzeentch made just to F with Nurgles followers.
But I am not sure GW would ever permit something so cool within DT.
It would also have to be in multiple missions, perhaps somekind of warp anomaly that appears in an otherwise unremarkable section of tertium. But then the lore would probably require nukin' it. Unless the rejects just kept it to themselves.
mmm, if they could fit it into a reasonable scenario I'm sure it'd be fine. From what I understand the stuff that GW doesn't like equates to "Would it make sense for x to happen here?" and if it's no then it's no.
Aye, aye. A skilled writer could always make it make sense, but I feel a lot of good horror comes from the unexplained. Like the Watcher in the Rain.
Converting that story, for example, to a DT level would probably either break lore or else require so much explanation it ruins the vibe.
Anywho, I am rambling. Blue map will be what it is, if it ever is.
I think my version of blue map was more like oubliette
Ah, surprised we've not got something like that already. We have prison, we have sewers, why not prison sewer?
I do feel like the game could use more horror themes. Warhammer and for sure this setting in particular has solid potential for it. Even some of the lore snippets we've heard touch on it.
Aye, but I do not envy the challenge. Its hard to make good horror levels in an otherwise action-centric design. Even the spookiest map would lose its luster when played 100+ times.
lights out felt more like that originally in beta and such, but in the end it's an action game and you kinda just get used to it as well
But with vent purge and lights out, I think they're trying. Hardest part about horror is how often you need to surprise the player with new stuff. Familiarity kills horror, at least for me.
god I'm testing the Taxes rn and it feels as though you took the horrible chain timings on slower weapons and inversed the problem. I've never had to worry about accidentally chaining into a light from a heavy except on these things
I thought the Karnak level was pretty scary the first go through.
I know, the US tax system is crazy.
PTW for sure.


The hunger bar is fomo
If you want a preview, just buy a bunch of tin canned food and remove the labels.
uh
this already exists
you can get lootboxes for food

HI VANESSA

Dude first says he has full hp, then died on fire, and says it was an easy revive. I'm speechless.
this is actually the one thing that can't be turned into a license
thank god
You eat food, its gone forever
nothing to revoke afterwards
"We're excited to announce new Pinapple Pistacio Pringles, and also sad to announce that we'll be discontinuing Pinapple Pistacio Pringles 3 months from now and sending Pinkertons to repossess any uneaten pringles"
Idk lights out walking into a silent crusher pack is spooky, so is seeing an idle horde and all the lights in their eyes
I hate LTOs for food stuff
Gives me real FIMO (Food I'm Munching On)
Best and only panda express food i liked was their almond chicken
Actually had soy savory flavor, then gone
I used to eat a lot of Brocoli Beef from there
Love my "meat" and "Meat-flavoured" veggies.
I hate being a worker
Or well, been a worker
I used to do a lot of the fryer stuff at taco bell and now i can tell the difference in oil quality in fried foods
Thankfully, I have a -2 to perception so I can't taste or see or hear or feel or smell the difference with anything.
Fun fact: 90% of candles smell like soap to me.
I just dont like strong scented stuff
I love when graphics/audio nerds do a before and after of a specific effect and my brain's like "These are the same"
Can you rank the fast food oil qualities
Inquiring minds would like to know.
I cant rank place by place cause i dont eat out too much
Best and worst then?
It is more I can tell how old the oil is, how dirty it is, and when it was last filtered
Best taco bell when i maintained it myself
Worst, panda express chow mein
Technically not fryer so worst out of fryer places would probably be wendys
Mcdonalds is usually good but they have automatic systems that are pretty strict
You are really a master
Imagine eating at the ultra-deluxe Vtuber Disease Taco Bell
A transcendant experience no doubt, and the customers would never know it was all because of Vtuber Disease
(I would not be surprised if enjoying Taco Bell was a symptom of Vtuber Disease.)
I worked at a place called Charleyโs for my first job. Fry and wing oil was always clean and good. Everyone cleaned that well
gz ๐ awesome lookin weapon
Any idea if they changed their fry oil policy at all when introducing the new fry recipe years ago?
maybe
i just stopped going eventually besides grabbing a 5$ bag meal
their bottom buns would be soaked in grease adn overhauls just didn't taste good
Yeah I stopped going to Wendy's too, they used to be the happy compromise between expense and food quality and now it seems pricey for the quality
And lo, the lord said, "let thine oil be clean", and all rejoiced, because the oil was clean and good.
Fries there were the bomb. I miss free food
Wendy's quality nosedived for me on top of prices inflating out of control
Who is this weeb, and can someone get him some grass
come back when it will become 10 mils
Helldivers 2 tomorrowwww
Sadly I'll be working for the launch
But I'm still waiting on PC preview.
Ain't bought it yet.
I'm not like josho I can resist the temptations of gambling
Maximum nut
Zealot class make sure you talk about Helldivers 2 just as much as you talked about BG3 please and thank you
Wanna know if it's good or soulless
one month of nothing but helldivers 2 spoilers?
|| the bugs die ||
There will be a plot to actually follow in the second one?
Luv me mankind, luv me friendly fire killstreaks, simple as
Glad I have the special ability to memory wipe myself of spoilers if I try hard enough and give it a lil time
Because y'all really did pocket sand me with BG3 spoilers all the time
yeah I had to stay out of here until it simmered down / I stopped giving a shit
Kriegsman fans be like
We're human we are incapable of being evil
Itโs not my fault Iโm an asshole
im sorry you failed the alan wake 2 gif off

Anyways
Any of you gamers staying up to 4 AM for helldivers 2
Something something muh freedom
I got like, a baby to babysit so I cannot
I'm taking that as a warning
I would. But I have a job.
Oof
The knife zealot was on fire
The MK XV's stagger is not just bad, is abysmal, i stagger fewer enemies than a knife user, how is that possible
Click faster.
dog jumps at zealot
Auroclicker
zealot bases dog
are you running fury of the faithful + the 10% attack speed node?
Knife player has more apm
How is that even possible, when I run Punishment I stagger fewer enemies than a knife.
of course
Is this weapon's stagger stats even working
mk15 attacks slow
frechnh
stagger is also caused by ranged weapons
Dude was using a revolver
some ranged weapons stagger a LOT
if they're lining 8+ people shots
thats a lot of stagger
There is no way he staggers more enemies with range weapons.
So close, you need to add the n between the e and c
I ran a Kant shot gun, I would stagger even more than a revolver.
With five stacks of Punishment, I can't stagger gunners, and I saw a knife zealot stagger more enemies, I'm beginning to believe this is a bug.
i dont use the scoreboard
i assume stagger is just one number for all stagger
so every tiny stab was a stagger
just like one huge sweep is 'one stagger' (per enemy of course)
or if they're pushing more cuz knife
and that too
if there push attack spamming you're gonna 'stagger' a lot
but you arent doing Evis 15 levels of crowd lockdown
where you're holding a wave of bruisers and making four ragers jiggle in place
but it probably all counts the same
Five stacks of Punishment, they barely moved.
You kill not stagger smh
How does og eviscerator compare btw
It's much stronger for diving flak armour elites.
anytime i've played the evisc i've never bothered thinking about stagger
Yeah, I've had just enough stagger to never feel a need for more
if i want that, crusher or hammer
Zealot doesn't really need more stagger.
You've got a bunch of increased impact talents
This is why it's so strong, it completely knocks them off and makes it much easier to dive into a big gunner squad.
heavies tend to have larger stagger values
You can tell it's not a big difference.
I only care about staggering melee elites
It's just kinda a consequence of the XV using lights for crowd damage.
which like, makes sense since mk2 is crowd oriented and 15 is single oriented
Ranged elites are just free food
The MK II heavy's stagger is 18, and the MK XV's light stagger is 12. With full-stack punishment and rampage, I should definitely be able to stagger gunners, but it's not working.
i've never really found it to be an issue
Even crit does not stagger them.
It's like it has no stagger at all.
You see? Even the knife staggers
It's a huge issue if you dive any gunners or shotgunners.
Do you have SS on it?
that evis looks pathetic without extra cleave
I think the nuvisc has a really small cleave cap
I always feel the stagger is weak, I didn't expect this weak.
Some people put SS on it just for the increased stagger
guys, the cleave can't do shit if you can't stagger enemies
Well, increased stagger targets
put wrath on it
Why do i need to increase stagger targets, when i can't even stagger one enemey

You literally just saw five stacks of punishment + crit can't stagger one gunner.
the problem is they arent attacking
and stagger is determined by what the enemy is doing
are you throwing them to the floor? nah
will you stop them all from attacking? oh yea
and since you're throwing out giant headlevel sweeps its sort of better that they dont get floored and instead just stand there waiting for their turn on the xsword block
It doesn't from what I can tell.
Most weapons just bottom out at a low cleave rather than capping.
you can USUALLY pretty safely assume that stagger cleave is 'infinite'
i dont know any weapon that can have their cleave brought to a point where the stagger hits a full 0
L4 on the XV will stagger enemies fine which makes me think it's some multiplier that relentless attacks have, or it's a resistance that most enemies have against relentless attacks.
actually i take that back, there probably is a few
if you put two cleave blessings
for some reason
Is the new chain axe light relentless or vanguard?
i just dont think it matters, any time i've played the mk15 evisc i was never bothered by gunners
Double cleave blessing evi could theoretically hit... 50 targets? or 60?
I mean, it's not worth it at all
only if youre fighting a fat mauler wave really
staggermaxxing
They're relentless, though they have higher impact.
much higher. I remember I could knock normal enemies around.
what's the best thunder hammer setup?
Thrust, headtaker/slaughterer, flak, unyielding
Mobility I believe
doesn't have
Wait no. defences?
always -0.2
TBH, I expected that with five stacks of punishment, it would at least make gunners and shotgunners move. Normally, I wouldn't bother with stagger, but recently, when I was diving into gunners and shotgunners, it became very noticeable. I'm getting hit a lot, which basically never happened when I was using MK II.
Shit, I forget
doesn't have mobility
for the record this is not the hammer i want. 355 is laughable to me
Defences in that case
solid stat spread though
it's not bad but i can get better
i'm finally capable of doing damnation consistently
I need to get around to one of those meat grinder mods
those guys arent flak
oh nvm i have now watched the video instead of jsut the thumbnail
It's the same
If you think it's a bug then make a report.
Yea, I'm doing it now.
My only assumption is that the first three lights are labelled as sticky attacks, which revs use. Instead of following the normal rules of stagger it'll just make them shake, but in this case only for 1 instance per hit since it isn't a rev attack.
Other attacks will work their way through these stagger states, but sticky attacks only have the sticky stagger state and nothing beyond.
At least, that's what I understand about it. I haven't looked into stagger prior.
Stagger is a black box
What's the best devil's claw mk and perk/blessings
You are a genius.
But my gamer instinct proved I was correct.
๐ค
I like the mk 4 dclaw, I've heard a few other people recommend it as well
TIL Surgical works with throwing knives
So if you've ever wanted to slowly kill a crusher with 2 throwing knives
They inherit most blessings on your active weapon. They also use perks and talents. Anoint will be active while you have a ranged weapon for example.
Do they contribute to blessings as well?
Depends on the weapon but they can yeah.
Slaughterer and headtaker I would assume work?
yes
Like with that clip the reason Scattershot is so nice is because it doesn't check for a throwing knife when you throw it, so it never resets.
And you get the benefit of Scattershot.
due to having a high finesse modifier
If you have Blazing Piety up and Scattershot at 5 stacks it's a huge amount of crit chance for smth like Manstopper.
iirc can do it with Headhunter as well but it's not as easy to stack.
Also it inherits the rending buff of hand cannon so
495 on crit vs 1865 on hand cannon 4 crit for throwing knives
2 shot crushers
how many times ppl will talk about this
but the fun fact in real action you cant do shit like that

because of them
looks like someone's got a new crush
which is the best devils claw version?
i'm too smexy for htis server
mk4 or mk1
Big rodent yawn
It's pretty easy to grab a Scattershot + Man-Stopper Lawby, stack Scattershot, then just go ham with throwing knives. Due to how Scattershot stacks you can get it up at long as any moderate mass of enemies exists.
solid if you have thrust handy
dont use hammer . average players on it bonk bonk ded
I do iirc
would need to change trauma to thrust, weak spot to flak

we gonna talk when they will come like a squad and start focus on you
on a mael mostly i saw a results of it on randoms
Good to obtain slaughterer, and it is certainly usable if you put Thrust over the Trauma and replace one of the two perks with elites or unyielding
I would try to roll for better but if you want your usable hammer now then go for it
rampage or wrath(cleave) on devils claw?
(Or if you really want that slaught IV)
Yea I woulnd't invest in rolling a good hammer since I've got other things I got more. But I'll buy it just for use if I wanna try a hammer build sometime
Whats a good thunder hammer build to give it a try with?
Pref not martyrdom
(Unless thats what you're really supposed to run)
Time to check on milk
The effectiveness of it gets better if a patrol is involved. There seems to be some misunderstanding here, this is a simple mechanic.
Try it out sometime.
can switch desperation to holy rev if you prefer
Why not disdain? The massive cleave on the hammer seems like it'd sync up well with it
i mean i literally just posted that build
iirc momentum buffs dodges
disdain is ok, but you'd have to lose a node somewhere for it
you'd have to redo alot for marty since it takes more points
Why pious over swift? Do you get many backstab kills with hammer?
i run smth like this with ironhelm sometimes
punishment is w/e i sometimes swap it with grievous wounds if im doing dumb stuff to use normals vs ragers
Bleed for emperor seems like a waste without extra wounds no?
You'd have to take over 50% of your HP in one hit for it to even trigger
there's a lot of setups with wounds where bfte is worthless or not that helpful anyways
it helps with snipers/bursters and sometimes overheads depending on how much toughness u have
yea getting behind bulwarks and dodge sweeps will get behind things frequently
Good point, and 20% is a lot and the 2 charges mean any 'overcap' on the CD bonus is still used
It still seems a bit niche? It only triggers if the shot would send you from over half health to under half health. And if its high enough damage (overhead) it'll still kill you. And if you've already lost your wound when you need defensives the most it kinda just wont be there.
im not taking damage from that many sources
there's a handful of things that aren't disablers that will meaningfully hurt me in a match
a good portion of them are stuff that u cant avoid but deal enough damage to trigger bfte like silent bursters or snipers targeting a different player
I guess. It seems like it'd only help with sniper shots when above half health. 90% of stuff that kills me is being disabled in fire (Or just situations where I"ve lost all toughness/lots of HP to fire)
nothing solves being disabled while being in fire
but bfte in a lot of situations will let u avoid using until death or delay it which keeps u alive for longer if stuff is goin bad
Oh I know, it just seems like a wasted point when you only have 2 wounds. Overheads I imagine still one hit you through it so I think that means only sniper shots and burster explosions are what its good against? And only if above half health, and only if you have enough toughness it wont kill you anyways.
depends on your curio setup
with 1 hp/2 toughness and full bars i get left with smth like 80 hp from a mauler overhead with bfte
People run more than 2 wounds on non-martyrdom builds?
1 point to send a middle finger to two of the most annoying enemy bugs in the game is nice.
Oh you mean HP curios
if u want a decent return on investment for bfte without going marty u can grab the +2 wounds node and do 3 hp curios
Yea I guess thats fair. Snipers never really felt all that threatening since I run knife but I'm guessing in a hammer build they might suck more to deal with
a lot of ppl are taking faithful frenzy anyways so its only 2 points of dip
it's good in part because of how awful sound cues are rn
I just noticed this is a hammer build without faithful frenzy
i cannot outskill an enemy that simply does not exist until it turns mid-leap around a corner without making sound until its already .5 seconds from exploding
and if ur grabbing vicious offering for the funny refill toughness from 0 on a horde with an activated ironhelm heavy its 1 point of investment
On this what about swapping it with purge the unclean?
Also dammit all these builds don't use throwing knives t.t
u could do that yea
I rely on those so much nowadays anytime I try to run a build that doesn't run it I press Q when a rager is in my face, pull out grenade and die when I go to block
u can just stagger a rager with hammer
Can but I've gotten real good at just drive by throwing a knife in their face
if you take grievous wounds (50% stagger on weakspot hit) u can hit em with a light headshot and it knocks them out of the combo
Same with knifing gunners long distance
for certain bps
Nvm
thrust hits it too
this is my pretty generic tknives build
Also is Anoint in Blood good? I usually don't grab it since my ranged of choice is a flamer (since I rely on throwing knives). Guessing I'll need to grab a real ranged weapons
not on flamer iirc
one of the best single point investments out of all 4 talent trees
yea, doesn't work on burn damage so usually don't grab it
im p sure anoint does it just scales based off your distance
It doesn't, had a big discussion about it a few days ago iirc. Was trying to decide if I wanted it
it only works on the flat damage t.t
No viscious offering will suck but will give this a try first I think. Thanks for the build tips :D
second wind and vicious offering are p comparable ime
ur just trading off the scenarios in which u get stuck with kinda shitty toughness economy
Hello Josho
the kuli steam guide says it does so long as you have the ranged weapon equipped so im inclined to believe it
Oh, time for a new Josho name
With ironhelm on that I'm thinking the three points in Grievous wounds, that damage reduction when dodging, and idk the third. Maybe anoint if it works. Gonna test it real quick in grinder
anoint is probs the best one point investment
?
disdain is nice but on ironhelm i cant find any concrete thing to use it for besides "horde clear number gets higher"
Zealot talks shit and under performs
The mission becomes infinitely easier the moment he dies and leaves
Bruh
yea whoever told u anoint doesnt work on dot is wrong
Ok yea it works
point blank one burst goes from 2 damage ticks to 3 dmage ticks vs a reaper
yea and it changes from 2 to 3 depending on how far I'm standing
even while the burn is on them
Just had someone on the subreddit say maniac is a bad perk on melee weapons
Does it snapshot for dots
Every day i lose hope
Nope
that tanner mouthbreather is doing the rounds giving people dogshit perk advice
I just watched it change damage based on moving back and forth
I mean on like hammer sure
I shot one little burst of flame, 3 damage ticks
step back, 2 damage ticks
step forward back to 3 damae
Actually sabotaging the community
....does it work on throwing knives if ranged weapon is out?
yes
Actually, does stuff like uncanny strike affect the throwing knife if you're at max stacks?
yes

lmfao
surgical on the knife
lol
If you charge all your knives crit for a few seconds
Tknives work with a ton of stuff
Yea, so they used rending on crit headshot and surgical there
shame you can't turn em into railgun anymore
Sad
Never got to use that
although i could be wrong i was messing in the psykh and didnt expect that to happen and just clipped it
Ok so the charge thing is pretty great though
The 'converts carapace to flak' works for the knives when you charge
a few pixels
Nintendo gameboy graphics
Mans playing on CCTV camera footage quality
Arcos graphics if he didnt know what he was doing
They took that one from Tanner.
100%
He hates Maniac on melee weapons for some reason.
Not like "Oh some weapons don't need it" it's "Bad on melee weapons"
Eh, kinda.
+weakspot
Pretty sure that dude uses crit damage and weakspot lmfao
Oh boy
the worst of the bunch
A shitload of weapons already one tap most of the spoopy maniacs and ragers are something youre either already controlling or you aren't and are blowing them up instead
You don't actually spend a lot of time hitting Maniac armor in the grand scheme of things.
"+carapace is s tier because you can stack brittleness with onslaught and then devils claw parry"
But its all about da breakpointz
Maniac is for mutants and ragers mainly right
It's 'sometimes' for lots of things
Yeah but to flat out say "no it's the worst" is stupid
But generally only Trappers, Ragers (both don't suffer the 3x melee damage debuff)
And maniacs are like a conveniece thing
Yeah no this is partially true. It's not at omnipotent as Flak is (which tanner says to run +elites and +weakspot instead for Flak). It's just, there are some melee weapons where it's nice.
the what debuff?
Mutants take 3x melee damage.
Yeah baseline they are weak to melee
Oh cool
Thats why hsword like one shots them
So that is why I deal 4000 damage in a single hit to muties
do maulers have any unarmored part?
no
Flak and cara only
ok, that's what i thought
It's all Flak. Carapace on the head.
he said that they did
the problem with making big overarching statements about perks besides stuff like 10% crit/weakspot being shit is ur just gonna inevitably make urself look stupid in certain contexts
For maulers you just aim at the chest right
and if ur at the point where ur rolling stuff for vibes u just say ur rolling stuff for vibes
Generally yeah just hit them the chest
Generally maniac on melee weapons is mainly for mutants and ragers
instead of trying to tell ppl to run 10% weakspot on dclaw
If your melee weapon doesnt need to handle it
Duelling swords are the exception
You can replace maniac
But most of the time having flak maniac is nice
To handle most situations
Theres more exceptions than DS but i cant think of them rn lol
when am I supposed to use the rashad special
Deimos
Theres a few
PS for example
Knife can also be flexible
Is PS better off on non PA
But yea people really super overvalue maniac on their melee. It's like a default slap-on for the vast majority of players despite the fact that it's a much more nuanced perk that's only really for a handful of interactions.
I think crusher can also use flexible perks
Not that you shouldnt be doing push attack
any combo of cara/unyielding/flak/maniac is fine on crusher
I personally pref cara/flak or cara/unyield on my PS
But maniacs have a very outsized effect on ur psyche
unarmored is p dogshit because the h1 will p easily hit bps on unarmored elites if ur chasing that
They are scary so ur like, oh ya totes make them die faster
and all that leaves u with is some bruiser damage which isnt really worth it
Its cuz its much more valuable on guns
(because u bring a brauto and refuse to ever melee a scab bruiser because the hitmass is scary)
Power Sword only aims for the head on Maulers w/ the powered attacks.
Cuz flamers and trappers are prio targets lol
All of the attacks while powered want to hit the head for Maulers.
for the longest time the game was super hardcore geared towards throwing specialists relative to other enemy types
and then they buffed elite spawns
Even back then though
mutants also used to live a bit longer
the relative power creep also brought up weapons significantly while specialist hp has remained stagnant or even decreased in some cases
Theres quite a few guns that want unarmored flak now
Due to the elite spam
pre-13 u had a way stronger case for just throwing maniac on everything unless u had something dogshit like most ogryn weapons
And breakpoints
all about da breakpointz
Shotgunner and gunner breakpoints are annoying
shotgunner breakpoints arent real because they arent enemy types
they are like the ambient background of a killfeed
Yeah i was gonna say im very unconcerned with shotgunner bps
Shotgunners only exist to buff their friendly Bulwarks into unstaggerable fuck faces
Like flak or elites is enough for me
i would care about unarmored way more for bruisers unless u have something fucking weird like a laspistol
It's funny seeing a cone of bullets whizz past me notifying me I can fill the killfeed
and thats only the kant one if ur putting minimal to no investment into ranged/crit stuff
Unarmored seems interesting to me ive just found very few uses where i wish i had it
Over like elites
I shouldn't have gone to darktide
GIVE IT TO MEEEeee
Whys that
I was better off in mhr
ready for action/pray
Damn did you stop mhw already lol
the newest telopots video has a bit where crab is discussing blessings (presumably because of the potential blessing rework that may or may not be happening any time soon) and i got depressed when he mentioned if crusher got more blessings u would have to nerf the base strength of the weapon because its designed with the shitty blessing pool in mind
i dont want them to touch my CHILD
it is perfect the way it is (mostly)
my friend wants it to get thrust
decapitate him
What if it got cool blessings
the only way that would be acceptable is with a more human friendly crafting system
