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

ivory marlin
#

Hi cole

ripe quest

quasi marsh
#

IV is ok

#

but none of the basic infantry lasguns are "best vet weapons"

ripe quest
#

It's fine but far from Vet's best weapon.

obtuse stirrup
#

Haven't tried either because I'm still scarred by how terrible they used to be

quasi marsh
#

honestly I struggle to see the appeal of them in general vs the v7 HH

obtuse stirrup
#

Ah, k

obtuse stirrup
fleet zealot
#

the headhunters and IAGs simply slap

#

and i never liked the aesthetic of las anyways

obtuse stirrup
#

Compared with Laspistols?

fleet zealot
#

idk how I would quantify it as a non vet main

ripe quest
#

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.

fleet zealot
#

but I feel you can pump the top end of a inflas more than you can the las pistol

quasi marsh
#

on vet at least, 12 doesnt hit any meaningful bp over 1a

#

unless u run

#

exec stance

fleet zealot
#

but zealot likes las pistol

ripe quest
#

But the IV vs. the Ia is if you want higher total ammo vs. higher dps

fleet zealot
#

cause it's great baseline

calm lotus
#

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.

quasi marsh
#

12 is literally just "i wish i was v7 HH" tbh

#

i dont think it really does anything better

obtuse stirrup

I don't like how weak laspistols feel tbh, I don't want to have to triple click a head

its why i say it just wishes it was v7 HH

The burden of not having an INCOMPARABLE MIND again.

since it has surg unlike the infantry las you can actually rely on it too

How hard depends on the wall

hushed knoll
#

Why don't you arrest all the walls you see just to be sure

quasi marsh
#

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

open pollen
#

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

ripe quest
#

Both Lasguns and HHs are solid with ammo.

#

I paid $100 for the Starfield Deluxe edition

And that makes you lose your license?

open pollen
#

Yes. Frankly, I got off lightly. Should have served time for that one.

obtuse stirrup
hushed knoll
#

Why has Bethesda gone from making some of the greatest games to shitting the bed

ripe quest
#

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.

Oblivion???

open pollen
#

Especially with there being so many "Stress Casualties" in the industry

quasi marsh
#

even if you run unarmored/flak

quasi marsh
#

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

open pollen
#

Not to mention cyclical hiring. One way to never make a good game again is to fire all your talent every 5 years

quasi marsh
#

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

obtuse stirrup
#

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

north sedge
#

they've historically been very ambitious but alot of jank, which is forgiven because of the ambition, starfield lacked ambition

faint vapor
hushed knoll
#

Bethesda originally set the standard of open world RPG

Imo

Why worry about ambition when you can re-release the same game for 100 different systems for a decade though

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

open pollen
#

More accurate than a lie detector. I have never had a false positive on a houseplant.

hushed knoll
#

Houseplants don't have hearts

quasi marsh
#

much more strict than v7 where you can hipfire it and it still os bp

open pollen
#

Exactly. They also don't tell lies

faint vapor
quasi marsh
#

v7 has no sway after dodge

#

mg12 does

#

makes it annoying to use as well

open pollen
#

So one failing a lie detector test casts doubt on the machine, not the plant.

ripe quest
quasi marsh
#

at the ranges you hipfire iether of them, 12 suffers from inverse dmg falloff

ripe quest
#

The Lasguns are plagued by some handling stuff, hard to use on non-Vet classes without the suppression immunity node.

quasi marsh
#

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

ripe quest
quasi marsh
#

i cant rely on it for the critical bps

quasi marsh
#

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

And maybe I'm being tough but that's just what Bethesda had

#

Yeah

#

I mean I played hundreds of hours

ripe quest
#

Seems easier to just stack crit chance for a general use build.

ripe quest
#

I'm also not using +Unarmored or an ult

#

Though for Scab Gunners you need +Flak

#

or an active buff up

quasi marsh
#

how?

#

im 200 dmg short

#

unless ur using kill zone

#

all dmg buffs taken on the tree ofc

#

or MF keystone stacks*

ripe quest
#

Point blank, using MF

quasi marsh
#

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

obtuse solstice
#

man rashad ruined me, everything else feels so ass now

ripe quest
#

Without MF you would require an ult.

quasi marsh
#

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

quasi marsh
#

cant really rely on 12 for critting on demand either like i said

#

since eyou're forced to run HH and not Surg

ripe quest
#

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.

#

I've yet to get sleep paralysis but for a long period of time I'd get consistent lucid dreams.

open pollen
#

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.

ripe quest
#

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.

open pollen
#

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.

fading vale
#

I think my version of blue map was more like oubliette

open pollen
#

Ah, surprised we've not got something like that already. We have prison, we have sewers, why not prison sewer?

ripe quest
#

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.

open pollen
#

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.

north sedge
#

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

open pollen
#

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.

Is this weapon's stagger stats even working

indigo quartz

frank night
#

indigo quartz
#

stagger is also caused by ranged weapons

elfin steppe
#

Dude was using a revolver

indigo quartz
#

some ranged weapons stagger a LOT

#

if they're lining 8+ people shots

#

thats a lot of stagger

elfin steppe
#

There is no way he staggers more enemies with range weapons.

sharp zodiac
elfin steppe
#

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.

spare dome
#

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)

south folio
#

or if they're pushing more cuz knife

spare dome
#

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

elfin steppe
mental coral
#

How does og eviscerator compare btw

elfin steppe
#

What is og Evi?

mental coral
#

Uh the mk 2 or wte

#

Instead of mk XV

elfin steppe
#

It's much stronger for diving flak armour elites.

north sedge
#

anytime i've played the evisc i've never bothered thinking about stagger

dense field
#

Yeah, I've had just enough stagger to never feel a need for more

north sedge
#

if i want that, crusher or hammer

mossy scarab
#

Zealot doesn't really need more stagger.

#

You've got a bunch of increased impact talents

elfin steppe
north sedge
#

heavies tend to have larger stagger values

elfin steppe
#

You can tell it's not a big difference.

dense field
#

I only care about staggering melee elites

ripe quest
#

It's just kinda a consequence of the XV using lights for crowd damage.

north sedge
#

which like, makes sense since mk2 is crowd oriented and 15 is single oriented

dense field
#

Ranged elites are just free food

elfin steppe
#

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.

north sedge
#

i've never really found it to be an issue

elfin steppe
#

It's like it has no stagger at all.

elfin steppe
misty mason
#

Do you have SS on it?

spare dome
#

that evis looks pathetic without extra cleave

misty mason
#

I think the nuvisc has a really small cleave cap

elfin steppe
#

I always feel the stagger is weak, I didn't expect this weak.

misty mason
#

Some people put SS on it just for the increased stagger

elfin steppe
#

guys, the cleave can't do shit if you can't stagger enemies

misty mason
#

Well, increased stagger targets

spare dome
#

put wrath on it

elfin steppe
#

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.

spare dome
#

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

ripe quest
#

Most weapons just bottom out at a low cleave rather than capping.

spare dome
#

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

ripe quest
#

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.

spare dome
#

actually i take that back, there probably is a few

#

if you put two cleave blessings

#

for some reason

elfin steppe
north sedge
#

i just dont think it matters, any time i've played the mk15 evisc i was never bothered by gunners

mossy scarab
#

Double cleave blessing evi could theoretically hit... 50 targets? or 60?

#

I mean, it's not worth it at all

Wait no. defences?

elfin steppe
#

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.

mossy scarab
#

Shit, I forget

visual blade
#

doesn't have mobility

for the record this is not the hammer i want. 355 is laughable to me

it's not bad but i can get better

It's the same

ripe quest
elfin steppe
#

Yea, I'm doing it now.

ripe quest
#

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.

#

Depends on the weapon but they can yeah.

visual stream
#

Slaughterer and headtaker I would assume work?

indigo quartz
#

yes

ripe quest
#

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.

indigo quartz
#

shred does too

#

they can crit (its funny)

ripe quest
#

And you get the benefit of Scattershot.

indigo quartz
#

due to having a high finesse modifier

ripe quest
#

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

misty mason
#

I think most people run momentum with TWBS

#

Deeper than that, I dunno

gilded lintel
#

Why not disdain? The massive cleave on the hammer seems like it'd sync up well with it

north sedge
#

i mean i literally just posted that build

mental coral
#

Probably itโ€™s fucking martyrdom

gilded lintel
north sedge
#

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

gilded lintel
#

Why pious over swift? Do you get many backstab kills with hammer?

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

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

royal vortex
#

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

north sedge
gilded lintel
#

Good point, and 20% is a lot and the 2 charges mean any 'overcap' on the CD bonus is still used

gilded lintel
royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

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)

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

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.

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

People run more than 2 wounds on non-martyrdom builds?

ripe quest
#

1 point to send a middle finger to two of the most annoying enemy bugs in the game is nice.

gilded lintel
#

Oh you mean HP curios

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

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

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
# north sedge

I just noticed this is a hammer build without faithful frenzy

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

Also dammit all these builds don't use throwing knives t.t

royal vortex
#

u could do that yea

gilded lintel
#

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

royal vortex
#

u can just stagger a rager with hammer

gilded lintel
#

Can but I've gotten real good at just drive by throwing a knife in their face

royal vortex
#

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

gilded lintel
#

Same with knifing gunners long distance

coarse birch
#

Dont you need grievous or am i crazy

#

Ah thats what it is

royal vortex
#

for certain bps

coarse birch
#

Nvm

royal vortex
#

thrust hits it too

royal vortex

#

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

royal vortex
#

3 points to do w/e depending on weapon

#

anoint is super good

fleet zealot
#

not on flamer iirc

royal vortex
#

one of the best single point investments out of all 4 talent trees

gilded lintel
#

yea, doesn't work on burn damage so usually don't grab it

royal vortex
#

im p sure anoint does it just scales based off your distance

gilded lintel
#

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

gilded lintel
royal vortex
#

second wind and vicious offering are p comparable ime

yea and it changes from 2 to 3 depending on how far I'm standing

even while the burn is on them

royal vortex
#

#

the damage boost is 25% up to 8 meters and then falls off to 0% past 30

That's quite good

#

The falloff is much kinder than expected

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

any combo of cara/unyielding/flak/maniac is fine on crusher

#

the relative power creep also brought up weapons significantly while specialist hp has remained stagnant or even decreased in some cases

Due to the elite spam

Shotgunner and gunner breakpoints are annoying
