#

then you can leave the health node thats fine

#

just swap the bottom node on judgement

rain steppe
#

Cool!

#

The weapons and curios are still in the works I'm not quite satisfied with them

coarse birch
#

theres more i can mention if you want but i dont wanna overload you

rain steppe
#

I'm noting it all down so any help I do appreciate

haughty bone
#

Kindred, this is cursed

coarse birch
#

so for the bolter your best blessings are generally pinning fire/cavaclade or surgical if your doing a more snipery build but i wouldnt reccomend that on zealot

rain steppe
#

For the Holter I use that normally on big groups of armored enemies to flinch them and kill or open them up to the team helps on bulworks especially

coarse birch
#

id run flak/cara then

rain steppe
#

Gotcha!

coarse birch
#

and for curios since you mentioned them, toughness/HP and gunner resist are generally best

#

a lot of people run 3x gunner resist 3xHP 3xtoughness but if you want you can also swap one of the toughness nodes for sniper res if you get sniped semi often

#

and want it to do less than half health

#

you can also run ordos if you are ordo farming

rain steppe
#

I have the invincibility if the sniper hits at a bad time so not to important to me

coarse birch
#

as for main perks 1 HP 2 Toughness or 3x toughness imo, ig 2 HP 1 tough wouldnt be awful but not my recommendation

sour oxide
#

now do you look like the zealot in the picture tho

coarse birch
#

then id do 3x gunner res/3x toughness/3x health

#

the other stuff isnt super worth

rain steppe
sour oxide
#

damn I wanted beard tips

coarse birch
#

uh thats about all ive got

sour oxide
#

imo run full stam curios

#

best stat in the whole game

rain steppe
#

I appreciate it all!!

coarse birch
#

id also take off unarmored from the evis but since you need to remove infested/perfect strike its the best of the 3

sour oxide
#

woah never seen a build like this before lemme digest.

rain steppe
#

This is also a build I threw together because I wanted to get the stun gernade challenge done but I'm growing quite attached

coarse birch
#

yeah its a fine build

#

overall

rain steppe
coarse birch
#

yeah i figured it was a stand in

rain steppe
#

Stats on mine aren't perfect

coarse birch
#

but i mentioned it for future reference anyway

rain steppe
#

Noted!

#

Also side note played the easiest difficulty today and by the emperor it was a cake walk

coarse birch
#

yeah easiest diff is just second tutorial p much

sour oxide
#

hmm why did you go to inexorable judgement if you dont mind me asking?

rain steppe
#

I was doing melee speed and at full stacks that's an additional 20% speed, the 10% from the node, I typically grab the blue stim to boost it even higher and normally I run fury of the faithful so I turn I to just a blender

sour oxide
#

thats fair, seems like a very defensive/cautious build. not that that is a bad thing by any means.

rain steppe
#

I could just as easily mody that build to get that 50% attack speed but currently I can do alot of stun and get my combat ability back pretty often

rain steppe
sour oxide
#

I think the point in switch uncertainty might throw a wrench in the gears of taking damage to reduce cool down tho

wicked pollen
#

I love playing Zealot, lessened each time i see someone in a public lobby speedrunning with stealth build

sour oxide
#

I would take that point out and move over to the piety tree

#

would just have to find one more point to salvage

fleet zealot
#

cdr above martyrdom is bad

#

really bad

#

it's 1% cdr per 1% hp loss

rain steppe
#

I tend to throw myself head on into damage so it just gives me a little bit extra on that 60 second timer for the combat ability

rain steppe
#

Oh it's not toughness loss?

sour oxide
#

well that and they are running swift uncertainty which makes you dodge every attack so you wont be getting hit

rain steppe
#

I thought it was any damage which is why I took it

fleet zealot
#

even the tankiest martyrdom+bleed for the emperor+restoring faith+ holy revenant build

sharp zodiac
#

Wisp is dying

fleet zealot
#

it's only hp

fleet zealot
rain steppe
sour oxide
south folio
#

no

#

swift lets you keep your sprint perpendicular ranged I-frames at 0% stamina

fading vale
#

that

fleet zealot
#

swift certainity only extends the natural dodge period all classes have when sprinting at an angle away from gunfire

south folio
#

it doesn't give you anything else besides that

fading vale
#

it doesn't do anything else except for the listed move speed

fleet zealot
#

it stops working when one runs out of stam, swift makes it so it doesn't stop working at 0 stam

fading vale
#

and it doesn't count as dodging

fleet zealot
#

^

sour oxide
#

I find that I dodge a ton more just sprinting through a pack and not dodging

rain steppe
#

I mean either way I enjoy the movement speed bonus

sour oxide
#

I mean I have been using it for the past 1300 levels

south folio
#

alright, your experience doesn't change what it does...

#

I'm sure swift is probably ding utility to you but we're just saying that your description of what it does is wrong

sour oxide
#

I am saying that it does dodge attacks just by sprinting by

fading vale
#

dodging is dodging, sprinting is not dodging

#

no, it doesn't

sour oxide
#

its not. but sprinting by enemies can trigger a dodge with it

fleet zealot
#

it dodges ranges attacks at an angle, it is not dodging the mechanic when you double tap movement

#

it doesn't need to be perpindicular but it can't be dead on

rain steppe
#

The skill node says always counts as dodging while sprinting

fading vale
#

yeah swift is quite literally just making you avoid ranged when you run at an angle with 0 stam

fleet zealot
fading vale
#

the tooltip is just bad

fleet zealot
#

it is not the same dodge mechanic that precog or duelist uses

sour oxide
#

doesn't sound correct to me, got a clip?

fleet zealot
#

it is a separate mechanic everyone has

fading vale
#

it's correct and has been known since october

sour oxide
#

I don't worry about ranged shooters anyways you can just power attack slide spam under all their rounds running straight towards them

#

show me peas

fleet zealot
#

swift just lets the range avoidance extend past 0 stam

#

lol

#

wdym show

#

we have a clip where you can spin around a reaper

sour oxide
#

you said its been known since october

#

where?

fading vale
#

here

fleet zealot
fading vale
#

I don't have clips for everything

fleet zealot
#

fuckin fresh blood

sour oxide
#

then how is it known since october?

coarse birch
#

you can also just go test it

rain steppe
#

I've been sprinting straight through the bullets tbh

fleet zealot
#

cause WE TESTED IT

coarse birch
#

if you arent sure

coarse birch
sour oxide
#

I am have alevel 2400 zealot I have tested it every day lol

coarse birch
#

you dont get staggered

fleet zealot
jaunty lava
#

There's a clip in the pinned...

fading vale
#

well, there are many high levels that don't know how the game actually works....

fleet zealot
#

but if you sprint dead on

#

you are likely to be hit

#

if you sprint at an angle, you won't be, as long as you have stam or running the swift certainty talent

fleet zealot
sour oxide
#

you just have to slide and youre fine

rain steppe
#

Ah good to know about these skills!

coarse birch
#

sliding doesnt have anything to do with swift though

#

they are just mentioning what it does

fleet zealot
south folio
#

yes you also get ranged I frames on slides

fleet zealot
#

sliding has nothing to do with swift

#

sliding is once again, it's own mechanic

sour oxide
#

yeah that zealots specifically don't take damage through

coarse birch
#

sliding is everyones universal answer to pushing ranged

fleet zealot
#

that is completely different system

south folio
wraith helm
#

I take swift for the speed buff when i run relic instead of chastice.

sour oxide
#

zealots get more

rain steppe
fleet zealot
#

zealots have sliding 100% DR, vets and psykers 50%, ogryn 0%

south folio
#

does zealot even have 100% toughness dr on slides anymore

fleet zealot
#

AND NONE OF IT

#

INVOLVES Swift Certainity

coarse birch
south folio
fading vale
fleet zealot
#

actually just to be pedantic

rain steppe
#

I am learning quite alot

fleet zealot
#

swift certainity does help in those moments between slides

#

if you are still sprinting

sour oxide

coarse birch
#

aco

#

love that guy

south folio
#

my bad mr level 2400

jaunty lava
#

I'm pretty sure they removed the 100% dr zealots had long ago no?

fleet zealot
#

yea

#

my bad

#

it's 50% now

#

my brain is tilted a bit

fading vale
#

it got nerfed to 50% but regardless sliding still avoids most ranged fire

sour oxide
fleet zealot
#

2400 levels never bothers to actually look up the mechanics

calm salmon
#

the only pain with avoiding ranged fire with sliding is if enemies don't shoot at the same time

sour oxide
#

youre the one telling me october

fleet zealot
#

enemies can also shoot you between slides

coarse birch
#

yeah staggered shooters are annoying

sour oxide
#

and have no proof october meansd anything

calm salmon
#

yep

coarse birch
#

like staggering the fire not actual stagger

fleet zealot
#

IT'S IN THE PINS

calm salmon
#

It is pain trying to deal with large amounts of shooters.

fading vale
#

October aka when the patch with all the new talents dropped hmmm

sour oxide
#

what pins in this channel? in reddit?

coarse birch
#

esp spread out

sour oxide
#

ffs

#

I am not in your brain you gotta explain

jaunty lava
#

Since october, people have tested how it works. It's been solved since release lol

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

no the pins at the top of the channel

calm salmon
#

I miss old ogryn on this topic KEKW_ogryn

#

it was nice ignoring ranged knockback

sour oxide
#

see how easy that was.

coarse birch
#

top right of discord channel

calm salmon

but then fatshark took it away Sitgryn

#

now you get pushed backwards when sliding by a single dreg stalker on ogryn

Lying is one thing. being that level but not knowing basic game mechanics?

oh yeah

these convos are what I live for

i will never understand why people die on the hills of there loadout

i noticed a lot of 1k+ level people simply play all day

i just dont get beingso certain its better than tried and true loadout

jaunty lava

Best thing just before going to sleep, thanks everyone for the laugh

sour oxide
#

lol look at them all in the circle jerk

fleet zealot
#

and never bother to go beyond just, raw playing

fading vale
#

they ran fan and showstopper for 800 levels and had NO IDEA how either blessing worked and that neither do anything

calm salmon
#

showstopper actually does do shit

wraith helm
#

Pinned and doesnt explain it giving 10% speed.
Someone explain the speed boost, this is beyond me

calm salmon

fwiw

But it does actually work

huh?

fading vale
#

they thought fan the flames buffed showstopper

coarse birch
#

wut

fading vale
#

and thought showstopper did AOE burn

jaunty lava
#

wot

coarse birch
#

thats like

#

just not reading the blessing

sour oxide
#

he dug deep for that one

#

reaaaaal deep

coarse birch
#

this isnt even a FS blessing moment

wraith helm
fleet zealot
#

yea, i've seen the worst builds, time spent playing doesn't equate to skill if you have no idea how to translate experience to skill

jaunty lava
#

Reality check must have been hard for him when he learned

coarse birch
#

i wont give people shit for not knowing stuff since 99% of it is not explained in game but thats just wild

sour oxide
#

@rain steppe anyways I would say that its anti synergyistic with your reduced cooldown for taking damage.

fading vale
#

and every damn time we tried to say how it worked "I've played with this for 800 hours and you are trying to tell me how it works?"

#

err 800 levels

fleet zealot
#

people sometimes make up the stupidest mechanics

#

like, Surge blessing working on trauma

coarse birch
#

that one you should be able to just see

#

doesnt work

calm salmon
#

surge should work on trauma

#

but it does not Sitgryn

fleet zealot
median steeple
#

Do you think FS does it on purpose

south folio
#

psyker L

rain steppe
fleet zealot
#

I'm BLIND AND I can see

jaunty lava
#

What's the interaction between surge and traume? good or bad?

calm salmon
#

trauma gamers taking ls

fleet zealot
#

it just works with left click

south folio
#

doesn't work at all

fleet zealot
#

just go rending+ flurry

coarse birch
#

the damage for cool down node is also just kinda mid

calm salmon
#

yeah, literally only works on left click

fleet zealot
#

it's just good

coarse birch
#

its a very small %

#

afaik

fleet zealot
#

mid is an understatement

calm salmon
fleet zealot
#

it's 1% per 1 life lost

calm salmon
#

cause room turn blue

#

its not good

#

but it IS fun

coarse birch
#

and your running backstab anyway

fading vale
#

I like the weakspot blessing on trauma

#

amazing

fleet zealot
#

even the most hardcore tank martyrdom players don't take it

calm salmon
#

i mean

coarse birch
#

oh transfer peril

calm salmon
#

psyker staffs are definitely examples of the scrapped system

coarse birch
#

for my quell cancel M1 trauma build

calm salmon
#

because half the blessings don't make sense

rain steppe
#

Just another bad description

fleet zealot
#

there was a rending blessing for purge staff

calm salmon
#

at least transfer peril wasn't put on electro staff

fading vale
#

and all of them have the same blessings except not

fleet zealot
#

and that aloen would make purge viable comparision to flamer

coarse birch
#

idk what you mean i love warp flurry/nexus

fleet zealot
#

but rn flamer is just better purge with a soft ammo limit

coarse birch
#

at least theres some variety now

fleet zealot
#

cause fury exists

calm salmon
#

and purge has a 17m range

#

instead of 23

fading vale
calm salmon
#

flamer has no ammo if you hold down mouse 1

coarse birch
#

me when i apply burn stacks and keep shooting

#

for no reason

calm salmon
#

but it costs 7 ammo to kill infinite poxwalkers in a 23x6 meter cone

fleet zealot
#

if you have a survivalist vet (most common class in the game) flamer might as well not have ammo

fleet zealot
#

blaze away+ quickflame

calm salmon
coarse birch
#

and this is without overpressure working too

calm salmon
#

RIP OP

fading vale
#

it's weird how burn does damage over time

fleet zealot
#

it doesn't even need BA tbh

calm salmon
#

My blaze away+OP flamer is on the, pun intended, back burner

#

until OP is fixed

fleet zealot
#

just 76% chance and good perks

coarse birch

so I tested it, yeah you dodge just by sprinting and running by melee.

so not sure where you getting your info from buts its wrong or changed.

the superbowl ads were ass

coarse birch

they were

fading vale

whatever your idea of dodging is is wrong

nope

the avoiding melee attacks is just a speed thing

jaunty lava

Oh god not again

i think there is a miscommunication going on here

my hunter's education teacher said when you go praire dog hunting, you use low cal .22, shoot one, and wait for it's friends to come up and try to cannibalize the body, and then shoot them on loop

calm salmon

but an inbred mill cat/dog can have all sorts of insane issues

i think our city should ban rabbits

calm salmon

rabbits are cool pets. People have no idea how to take care of them by and large.

which are cute, but i don't think that is good for the species

D&D does them pretty cool, they're Fae descendants and instead of sleeping they go into trances where they lucid dream and can do whatever they want

fleet zealot
#

i like the warhammer wood elves, very bloody

fleet zealot
#

d&d is rough to say cause... it depends on the DM and setting

visual stream
#

Warhammer wood elves are cool because of their brutality regarding defending nature, and also the fact that they hang out with actual tree dudes

Exodites are cool since they ride fucking dinosaurs

I think the Drizzt books did a good show towards the later parts on how elves mentally cope and handle with being the longest lived "civilized humanoid" species

oh yeah fantasy is a thing

you could probably homebrew a craftworld that is wood elf themed

Closest thing

everyone forgets about them

it has like, some good examples of some elves either choosing to watch over the family of their dead loved ones, or living their life in 50-100 year phases and just changing their persona

I love the Drizzt books

fleet zealot
#

i had the icewind dale triology but it was really old and my father didn't take good care of it so it fell apart, i miss the phsyical copies

visual stream
#

I picked up a Drizzt book without knowing what it was and, about ten pages in, got a very strong feeling that this was not supposed to be the first book I read

median steeple
#

i love immortality being horrific instead of something being nice

visual stream
#

I find out it is a like 30 year-long series, and it has been on my shelf ever since KEKW_ogryn

calm salmon
#

book 10?

#

something like that

#

and the Cattibrie quintuplet or whatever it was called

fleet zealot

oh yea, i read past that, past when catti brie and everyone else had died

Imagine some freak of nature barbarian with insane con who swallows the phylactery or gets it magically attuned to his stomach or smth

Good BBEG idea yesgryn

my fav lich is Daurgothoth

#

Is it possible to be a good-aligned lich?

#

Very strange, yes, but possible?

median steeple
#

I mean archliches exist

#

They're not in 5e but they exits

#

exist

fleet zealot
#

you simply don't experience the emotions you normally quantify by default

#

but neutral/non evil liches exist

#

but no one ever becomes a lich for a selfless reason

median steeple
#

there we go found the description

#

Archliches were a type of lich that was good and noble, both in life and undeath. They could be of any type of spellcaster—including wizards, bards or clerics—and devoted their existence to whatever noble purpose motivated their transformation into lichdom.[2][1]

#

How this works?

#

no idea

visual stream
#

Ohhh sick

fleet zealot
#

i kinda get archliches

visual stream
#

An archlich cleric sounds awesome

fleet zealot
#

but being undead changes a lot

visual stream
#

God's best soldier, too angry to die

fleet zealot
#

and in general, most good aligned gods aren't a fan of breaking the natural order beyond natural death (rezzing a hero is fine, bringing back grandma isn't)

median steeple
#

they seem fundamentally different to other undead

sour oxide
#

what if grandma is the hero

median steeple
#

they dont have mental issues like deteriorating personalities

fleet zealot
#

true, I am kinda biased seeing through certain lense of settings

fleet zealot
#

nah, some liches can indeed be just as crazy as they were in life

median steeple
#

yea me

fleet zealot
#

and being undead in most settings dulls your positive emotions

#

you don't feel any sort of warm happy feelings anymore

median steeple
#

This is going off of FR so undead may be different

fleet zealot
#

i just see any archlich for any period of time either sliding to NG at most

#

if not LN or N

median steeple
#

way way DG is the best lich

love his ass

i'd say he doesnt count

#

kethric thorm is unusual for being undead

calm salmon

Yeah, Withers is like the ultimate example of "exception that proves the rule"

#

I gave ketheric like 99 chances to redeem himself

#

and he still couldn't

#

fuckin prick

median steeple
#

I wish he did

#

Because I like J.K Simmons and wanted to see more of him

calm salmon
#

That said, I exhausted every single paladin dialogue with him

#

so like

#

I did my roleplay

#

ketheric failed the vibe check

#

DIVINE SMITE

#

Kinda funny because I was an Oath of the Ancients paladin

but treated it more like a judicial paladin

or whatever that one is

No lying, fair judgement

KILL ALL EVIL CREATIONS

his intro is fucking fantastic

best boss intro

i must say, yes

well, i'll probably off him and put him in storage like the others

fleet zealot

my ass could not stand being a paladin

calm salmon

I don't get what people hated about the paladin rules though

My archeologist (college of lore bard) is multiclassin wizard with intent on focusing on necromancy

You smite it. No compromises

make sure to get the book

DnD campaign with friends

Augh I gotta stop multitasking

It just kinda stayed in a box in my camp for the whole campaign

drowsy steppe

I even tried divine smiting it when I found it

nada

Never bothered with the thay book too lmao

I forgor I think you have to remove curse it

Is it kill cloud?

isn't it the party of ghouls?

I dunno, like I said, never fucked around with it

its like 6 ghouls

that explode after death

question

#

i'm at the moonrise towers

#

i have to option to free people

#

if i go to the mausoleum to get the ortho thing to kill thorm and i come back, can i still free them?

#

or should i do it rn

drowsy steppe
#

Just don't do the nightsong before you free them and you'll be alright

polar nexus
#

that's the answer i needed thx

drowsy steppe
#

Neato

polar nexus
#

man, i'll probably have to genocide the entire tower to free them ;/

drowsy steppe
#

You just need to kill the whole moonrise prison and the docks area of enemies

#

The rest of moonrise won't turn hostile

polar nexus
#

oh!

#

even tho orbs are running around?

drowsy steppe
#

It'll summon more zealots ye

#

Just have someone with high STR to push the orbs to the chams

#

Or have someone with GWM or Sharpshooter feat to damage them

polar nexus
silent hull
#

stamina to carapace and surgical to pinning fire or cavalcade?

calm salmon
#

that is one bricked bolter

#

Maniac, Elites/Flak, Pinning Fire, Cavalcade

#

that's what you want on zealot bolter

#

you can also do Maniac/Carapace or Carapace, Flak/Elites if you run throwing knives

#

as the throwing knives are gonna do all the work on specials

burnt ivy
#

hi all

sour oxide

Allor

I'll take the lower flamer score on my zealot, if I can find coherency

Whatever works best with your play style by all means go for it

royal vortex
#

@coarse birch i am learning the secrets of the mk7

#

if you fold then push into a heavy you break your arms

#

and the folded heavy has enough cleave to go through 1 poxwalker/groaner

coarse birch
#

i thought you were talking about devils claw for a second

#

and i was so fucking confused

royal vortex
#

my folding sword

coarse birch
#

how many can you actually cleave

#

and do you get like a pull out animation

royal vortex
#

it cleaves 1

#

and then it does the stick-in and pull out on the 2nd target

#

im guessing its so that it doesnt quite feel so awful with the weird heavy anim

coarse birch
#

ok yeah that makes more sense

#

hm

#

that is interesting

#

wonder if it would be cleaner on mk5

#

also im finally making a warp charges build

royal vortex
#

may god have mercy on your soul

coarse birch
#

its a little deranged

#

its meant for surge/deimos

ripe quest
coarse birch
#

BM caxe?

ripe quest
#

mhm

coarse birch
#

damn

ripe quest
#

assuming BM on the Taxe

coarse birch
#

wait taxe

royal vortex
#

i am speaking of the shovel

coarse birch
#

hes talking about vet folding shovel

#

mk7

royal vortex
#

folding taxe

ripe quest
#

Oohhhh

#

that'd make sense

coarse birch
#

i was gonna say theres no way right

#

i did run taxe recently though exhil

royal vortex
#

how many fucking mk7s are there

coarse birch
#

i can think of 3

#

that are melee

#

4 counting vraks

ripe quest
#

Well this is where I also throw in that the Mk VII Taxe outcompetes DClaw for horde clear.

coarse birch
#

mk7 hsword too

#

so 5

royal vortex
#

my favorite part about the taxes is that the heavies stagger ragers for some reason

coarse birch
#

special staggers like everything too

royal vortex
#

no talents

#

grey

#

on a bodyshot

coarse birch
#

was kinda nice when i needed to fight a crusher for 10 minutes

royal vortex
#

a fucking ogryn shovel requires thrust and crunch or the impact talent and thrust on a headshot

coarse birch
#

hey taxes need something

#

and ragers are cringe anyway

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

it was a taxe bad joke

royal vortex
#

on a vet melee build i can get a taxe2 up to like 900 dps with shred/recip

#

(vs carapace)

coarse birch
#

yeah i assumed

#

since crushers were the topic

royal vortex
#

trust no one...

coarse birch
#

i trust some people

#

you happen to be one of them

royal vortex
#

thats fucked up

#

u could probs get more of out taxe with dd scriers tbh

coarse birch
#

you have not betrayed my trust nor given me a reason to stop trusting you

#

i was running DD scriers

royal vortex
#

i want them to make psyker blessings for all the non force weapons

coarse birch
#

wasnt running cara

royal vortex
#

unironically put warp nexus on literally everything

calm salmon
royal vortex
#

stan

calm salmon
#

abusing my compact discord like this

coarse birch
#

stan

calm salmon
royal vortex
#

i stole this one from him

#

he tried to spell stratagem twice

coarse birch
#

if stan messes up a name it is tradition to rename yourself

#

or he butchers something so badly

#

you change your name

#

see dough/laz

royal vortex
#

dude why does the mk3 shovel have such a bad push attack

coarse birch
#

is that the overhead

royal vortex
#

nope

#

it's identical to one of its sweep lights

#

and that is awful

coarse birch
#

ah

royal vortex
#

it chains into the overhead heavy

coarse birch
#

yeah shovel lights have never felt great to me minus the attack speed

polar nexus
coarse birch
#

they arent terrible with uncanny up

#

i probs wouldnt do a surgical build on zealot tbh

#

like i dont think its bad just not something id run personally

#

i think he benefits more from the cava bolter

royal vortex
#

surgical works on vet because u just not interact with suppression

coarse birch
#

being suppressed + recoil

#

will be rough

#

unless your just knife memeing

royal vortex
#

also not taking shattering because you should be chastising vs crushers anyways and at that point the brittleness isn't doing much

coarse birch
#

does it do stuff vs maulers cause you dont chastise

#

prob not

polar nexus
#

well, i disagree

coarse birch
#

flak ADM is p cracked

calm salmon
#

at least there's actual perk choices on bolter for zealot I guess

polar nexus
#

you don't have to chastise all the time

calm salmon
#

carapace/maniac/elites/flak

#

but its just PF+Cavalcade

#

and das it

#

for "meta choices"

coarse birch
#

i think josho runs cara actually

polar nexus
#

and i was adsing with a bolter without supression for the longest time

royal vortex
#

you should be chastising pretty much always. it's not a rare enough resource to consider swapping out a blessing for a worse one to cover a specific niche scenario

coarse birch
#

^

polar nexus
#

i wouldn't run a surgical revolver if i was concerned about suppression

#

(on zealot)

coarse birch
#

like there are times where you wont have it

#

but its rare

calm salmon
#

I think my gut feeling would be:

Carapace, Elites, PF, Cavalcade for the ideal zeaot bolter

#

with FotF and throwing knives

polar nexus
#

i agree with puri

calm salmon
#

down to whatever keystone you want

polar nexus
#

you have choice

coarse birch
#

thats p much what i run

polar nexus
#

and cavalcade + pinning is probably the most meta

calm salmon
#

yep

#

perks are just "throwing knives: y/n"

polar nexus
#

but that's not the only one

coarse birch
#

surgical can do work on like a MF vet

calm salmon
#

if yes, elites, if no, maniac

royal vortex
polar nexus
#

and i ran with a zealot just outdamaging everyone on bolter with pf + shattering

royal vortex
#

that means very little

coarse birch
#

i run shattering cause im stuck with it and it does do fine

#

but id still run cava over it

#

like SI is a choice, just not an amazing one

royal vortex
#

scoreboard numbers aren't super indicative of the optimal choices for weapons

coarse birch
#

idk how often im really noticing the brittleness, or anyone for that matter

polar nexus
royal vortex
#

bolter's adms vs non-cara are super high

#

it's weird and i don't think particularly lore accurate which is a shame

polar nexus
#

even tho i feel marksman is just making me overkill everything except a crusher

coarse birch
#

revo will likely do better, its a v good weapon

#

that is also much easier to use

royal vortex
#

if im playing a ranged backline type build im never taking revolver because i will simply spend too much time mid-fight in downtime

coarse birch
#

josho does make bolter MF look really good though

calm salmon
royal vortex
calm salmon
#

needing to actually use the minimum arming distance would be pain

royal vortex
#

a lot of the time im hitting spread out targets behind or beyond my team that aren't lined up for cleave

polar nexus
royal vortex
#

nah i mean like

#

flak should be lower than unarmored for sure on it

polar nexus
#

ah yeah

royal vortex
#

i think the buff to 1.0 adm from 0.85 was completely unnecessary

polar nexus
#

crab thinks so

coarse birch
#

the flak adm is actually so good your better off not chastising maulers unless your consistently headshotting iirc

royal vortex
#

yea

#

i do it anyways because its a fire rate buff and i want the big dps

coarse birch
#

yeah the DPS likely evens out essentially

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

it only uploaded once

royal vortex
#

woe upon my STUPID brain

coarse birch
#

wym

royal vortex
#

no the video doubles

coarse birch
#

oh i see

royal vortex
#

idk what the hell causes that

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

yeah if your critting

#

often

#

which that build is

royal vortex
#

this thing is really similar to p12 pf bolter but you have to go full in on ranged damage

coarse birch
#

or you have like anything going

royal vortex
#

and crits

coarse birch
#

esp with EXE up

#

your just less invincible

royal vortex
#

this is probably (i say this all the time) my favorite vet build

coarse birch
#

although iron will like

#

helps still

royal vortex
#

full left side is fun

coarse birch
#

ive seen you just kinda chill in poxwalkers before i clear them lol

royal vortex
#

iron will gives you like 1 more swing before death with my measly 163 toughness

royal vortex
#

i will legit just stand there in the horde if i can get away with it

#

because it takes a single bolter round to stagger and give yourself space

polar nexus
#

i use this on my rev and bolter

coarse birch
#

becoming a true vet

royal vortex
#

and you can dodge-dance a lot of stuff anyways

coarse birch
#

i wonder if elites is worth running

#

on bolter

royal vortex
#

its like the bell curve meme

polar nexus
#

crushes are elites

coarse birch
#

watching you not quite kill those gunners

royal vortex
#

i think flak/elites with my build gets you a 1 shot bp

#

on maulers

#

with all the buffs up

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

unarmored is a perk i never want to run but sometimes i wonder

#

although elites usually covers it

royal vortex
#

no duck n dive sounds like it hurts

calm salmon
#

it just feels like three distinct builds

polar nexus
#

i have + 3stam and +36stan regen

#

i manage

calm salmon
#

instead of something that you can flex around with like the other trees

polar nexus
#

i don't always ads

royal vortex
#

honestly i like vet having more specific playstyle identities

coarse birch
#

i do like it feels so distinct

royal vortex
#

but the number of nodes is too high

coarse birch
#

its just got bloat

polar nexus
#

i do hipfire a lot if adsing is too costly

coarse birch
#

like i love psyker but one of my main issues is it kinda feels like 2 builds

#

as opposed to like a varied tree

calm salmon
#

i just play old psyker

#

BB>wildfire

burnt ivy
#

Had my controller explode on me twice, playing zealot. Thumbsticks popped off

fleet zealot
#

I think BR is underrated

calm salmon
#

with warp charges

#

trauma staff and dueling sword/deimos

fleet zealot
#

But it also just doesnt feel good to use

coarse birch
#

BR is like fine

#

but thats about it

polar nexus
#

i use my bolter the same way on zealot and vet tbh

burnt ivy
#

my vet thinks he's a zealot

fleet zealot
#

Assail and smite just have more flair to them

burnt ivy
#

shotgunners

coarse birch
#

it would feel a bit better in a world where Assail RMB didnt do 90% of BRs job too

burnt ivy
#

coherency if we can rally

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

assail pretty much just comes with BR if your not fighting a crusher

light holly
royal vortex
#

although sometimes i end up having to do dumb shit because i dont take suppression immunity

coarse birch
#

minus uncanny stuff

royal vortex
#

and rely on exe stance for it

#

so i will have to shoot around gunners to stagger them with the aoe before i can actually hit them

burnt ivy
#

melee zealot, with high ranged

#

weak got weak@30+7

#

vet got weak
