Cool!
The weapons and curios are still in the works I'm not quite satisfied with them
theres more i can mention if you want but i dont wanna overload you
I'm noting it all down so any help I do appreciate
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
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
id run flak/cara then
Gotcha!
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
I have the invincibility if the sniper hits at a bad time so not to important to me
as for main perks 1 HP 2 Toughness or 3x toughness imo, ig 2 HP 1 tough wouldnt be awful but not my recommendation
now do you look like the zealot in the picture tho
I don't
damn I wanted beard tips
uh thats about all ive got
I appreciate it all!!
id also take off unarmored from the evis but since you need to remove infested/perfect strike its the best of the 3
woah never seen a build like this before lemme digest.
This is also a build I threw together because I wanted to get the stun gernade challenge done but I'm growing quite attached
Well I want to grind for a better one eventually anyway
yeah i figured it was a stand in
Stats on mine aren't perfect
but i mentioned it for future reference anyway
Noted!
Also side note played the easiest difficulty today and by the emperor it was a cake walk
yeah easiest diff is just second tutorial p much
hmm why did you go to inexorable judgement if you dont mind me asking?
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
thats fair, seems like a very defensive/cautious build. not that that is a bad thing by any means.
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
It was intended to be just for the stun challenge but it's become quite the utility
I think the point in switch uncertainty might throw a wrench in the gears of taking damage to reduce cool down tho
I love playing Zealot, lessened each time i see someone in a public lobby speedrunning with stealth build
I would take that point out and move over to the piety tree
would just have to find one more point to salvage
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
no
it's not worth
Oh it's not toughness loss?
well that and they are running swift uncertainty which makes you dodge every attack so you wont be getting hit
I thought it was any damage which is why I took it
even the tankiest martyrdom+bleed for the emperor+restoring faith+ holy revenant build
Wisp is dying
that is not how swift works
why do we have so many people here spreading false info
Fuck well that's a point to move
@alps pretty sure it is...
that
swift certainity only extends the natural dodge period all classes have when sprinting at an angle away from gunfire
it doesn't give you anything else besides that
it doesn't do anything else except for the listed move speed
it stops working when one runs out of stam, swift makes it so it doesn't stop working at 0 stam
and it doesn't count as dodging
^
I find that I dodge a ton more just sprinting through a pack and not dodging
I mean either way I enjoy the movement speed bonus
I mean I have been using it for the past 1300 levels
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
I am saying that it does dodge attacks just by sprinting by
its not. but sprinting by enemies can trigger a dodge with it
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
The skill node says always counts as dodging while sprinting
yeah swift is quite literally just making you avoid ranged when you run at an angle with 0 stam
yes and fatshark tooltips are stupid
the tooltip is just bad
it is not the same dodge mechanic that precog or duelist uses
doesn't sound correct to me, got a clip?
it is a separate mechanic everyone has
it's correct and has been known since october
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
swift just lets the range avoidance extend past 0 stam
lol
wdym show
we have a clip where you can spin around a reaper
here

I don't have clips for everything
fuckin fresh blood
then how is it known since october?
you can also just go test it
I've been sprinting straight through the bullets tbh
cause WE TESTED IT
if you arent sure
you also have thy wrath be swift
I am have alevel 2400 zealot I have tested it every day lol
you dont get staggered
yes, it is possible, the enemies are programmed to miss, and twbs means no stagger
There's a clip in the pinned...
well, there are many high levels that don't know how the game actually works....
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
IKR
you just have to slide and youre fine
Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/traumaaaa
Ah good to know about these skills!
sliding doesnt have anything to do with swift though
they are just mentioning what it does
yes
yes you also get ranged I frames on slides
yeah that zealots specifically don't take damage through
sliding is everyones universal answer to pushing ranged
that's just the slide mechanic
that is completely different system
bro every class gets ranged I frames on slides
I take swift for the speed buff when i run relic instead of chastice.
zealots get more
Besides me apparently
zealots have sliding 100% DR, vets and psykers 50%, ogryn 0%
does zealot even have 100% toughness dr on slides anymore
yeah sliding grants ranged i frames
I-frames is different from DR
I think it's 50% now
actually just to be pedantic
I am learning quite alot
swift certainity does help in those moments between slides
if you are still sprinting
@Aco yes we know
aco
my bad mr level 2400
I'm pretty sure they removed the 100% dr zealots had long ago no?
it got nerfed to 50% but regardless sliding still avoids most ranged fire
@aco yup thats me
2400 levels never bothers to actually look up the mechanics
the only pain with avoiding ranged fire with sliding is if enemies don't shoot at the same time

youre the one telling me october
enemies can also shoot you between slides
yeah staggered shooters are annoying
and have no proof october meansd anything
yep
like staggering the fire not actual stagger
IT'S IN THE PINS
It is pain trying to deal with large amounts of shooters.
October aka when the patch with all the new talents dropped hmmm
what pins in this channel? in reddit?
esp spread out
Since october, people have tested how it works. It's been solved since release lol
ok now you are just trolling
no the pins at the top of the channel
see how easy that was.
top right of discord channel
but then fatshark took it away 
now you get pushed backwards when sliding by a single dreg stalker on ogryn
christ toxic lil man
find a mirror
I mean you're just being purposefully obtuse at this point
i just blocked them
Not even acute
Obviously we are not talking about reddit on discord
I'm sorry I couldn't resist
dear diary puri blocked me
damn i cant think of any other angles
2400 zealot, never bothers to look up a mechanic
built different
Yep, that's what got me Amelia
well ok like yeah i can think of the numbers
you said that buddy next one
iirc he's indeed that level
360 no scope
lol someone tell him I am going to cry to my thearapist
I've seen him on na west
That's actually even more insane
me too
remember the flamer person that said their loadout was showstopper and fan cause they synergized and has been for 800 levels
aint no way
oh yeah
these convos are what I live for
i will never understand why people die on the hills of there loadout
like run what you want
I live for food
i noticed a lot of 1k+ level people simply play all day
love me a good indian meal
i just dont get beingso certain its better than tried and true loadout
Best thing just before going to sleep, thanks everyone for the laugh
lol look at them all in the circle jerk
and never bother to go beyond just, raw playing
they ran fan and showstopper for 800 levels and had NO IDEA how either blessing worked and that neither do anything
showstopper actually does do shit
Pinned and doesnt explain it giving 10% speed.
Someone explain the speed boost, this is beyond me
fwiw
nice
like, it works as it says
“Whiney”
Mf you guys are the ones crying about how much certain guns suck according to the excel sheet page 43 paragraph 2 like what, play the fucking game
got a copypasta for u
enjoy
od im so hungry
10% chance for elites to explode on death
hey but flamer bad right worked without blessings
it does shit yes
huh?
they thought fan the flames buffed showstopper
wut
and thought showstopper did AOE burn
wot
this isnt even a FS blessing moment
That sounds too useful
lolollol whattt
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
Reality check must have been hard for him when he learned
i wont give people shit for not knowing stuff since 99% of it is not explained in game but thats just wild
@rain steppe anyways I would say that its anti synergyistic with your reduced cooldown for taking damage.
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
people sometimes make up the stupidest mechanics
like, Surge blessing working on trauma
YOU THINK
Do you think FS does it on purpose
psyker L
Yeah I have to agree since it's only hp damage and I focus much more on my toughness
I'm BLIND AND I can see
What's the interaction between surge and traume? good or bad?
none
trauma gamers taking ls
it just works with left click
doesn't work at all
just go rending+ flurry
the damage for cool down node is also just kinda mid
yeah, literally only works on left click
it's just good
mid is an understatement
I use blazing spirit and the critical hit one
it's 1% per 1 life lost
and your running backstab anyway
even the most hardcore tank martyrdom players don't take it
i mean
oh transfer peril
psyker staffs are definitely examples of the scrapped system
for my quell cancel M1 trauma build
because half the blessings don't make sense
Just another bad description
there was a rending blessing for purge staff
at least transfer peril wasn't put on electro staff
and all of them have the same blessings except not
and that aloen would make purge viable comparision to flamer
idk what you mean i love warp flurry/nexus
but rn flamer is just better purge with a soft ammo limit
at least theres some variety now
cause fury exists
BUT FLAMER HAS NO AMMO
flamer has no ammo if you hold down mouse 1
but it costs 7 ammo to kill infinite poxwalkers in a 23x6 meter cone
if you have a survivalist vet (most common class in the game) flamer might as well not have ammo
blaze away+ quickflame
and most people don't realize this
and this is without overpressure working too
RIP OP
it's weird how burn does damage over time
I'm gonna tickle it
it doesn't even need BA tbh
just 76% chance and good perks
i think you have a tickling problem
Not at all
we should keep a counter of the number of daily swift incidents
I'm heading to bed now nini and may the God emperor be with you
a story, in 3 parts
rage
your gonna make football fans real mad with this one after last night
was there a tswift incident
who was the person who made the video on us criticizing their knife
so I tested it, yeah you dodge just by sprinting and running by melee.
taylor is dating a guy on the chiefs and they just won the super bowl, people are beyond tired of seeing/hearing about taylor after this year
so not sure where you getting your info from buts its wrong or changed.
the superbowl ads were ass
lol
they were
whatever your idea of dodging is is wrong
nope
the avoiding melee attacks is just a speed thing
Gone forever 😔
Oh god not again
i think there is a miscommunication going on here
you outrun their catch up animation
you don't proc dodge based talents
did you proc duelist
c'mon
show us proof
nope. sorry bud not gonna argue with ya.
post a video
the god emperor is watching and judging
tEsT iT uRsELf
Bro really fucking said NUH UH
Nah nah nah, if you come back 10 minutes later with "proof" you better show it
tbf amelia has tested it
Good, Taylor is not a good person 
someone did the math and apparently she's only had like 20 minutes of showtime this season
so its just uh
rage bait
if you add in social media it is a ton more tbf
but yeah people overreact
like i couldn't care less but it doesnt make me actively mad
ty
I love celebs telling us to fight for the enviroment just for them to create more carbon than a small town
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
i have nothing against taylor swift but I was in highschool playing friday night magic when 1989 came out and Hastings played it all night every night for months
i can't stand it
Just a small town? 
i somehow missed overplaying of her music
like i def heard it
but it wasnt non stop
96 baby?
But real
IT WAS literally on loop
99
I guess yeah
was gonna say
could be later
there is a child amogus
I say, as a 95 baby
like imagine playing magic 6:30->midnight
She's threatening to sue the random Florida college kid who tracks her jet usage
dont let exhil and arco see
@frozen glen hi
that is a good thing to criticize her about
they were calling me old earlier
my local game shops just play the local rock radio station
Hope he comes out on top
and did a decade ago
cause she does abuse her jet
so thank god I didn't have to be inundated with the same fuckin album over and over
but people just hyperfixate shit I don't care about so i don't want to join in
what do u want
especially when they get misygonistic
misygonistic
waman bad /s
/srs 
steam forums
(joke obvi)
no /s smh
always serious
REAL
mine are 25/75
i love men
woman zealot, woman psyker, male veteran, male ogryn
so I have man
in favor of men
"why i oughta" ass emoji
lmao
my psyker is the only female although my most played class by far
idk why i said 75/25 as if one was an option
def an ally
bippity boppity here's a meme for chat to steal
while we're on the topic of the why I oughtta gif
HELP THE TRAITORS ARE GREENING ME
get slimed
don't ferrets smell weird
(it's actually cause ferrets can't have normal water and soap baths, it irritates their skin and makes them stinkier)
yes, but most you can get descented the same time you get them castrated as kits
That includes you too Mal, perm-less denizen of zelchat.
you can bathe a ferret twice a year in a water and oat bath
Mal must regrind his way to image perms
so kinda like skunks?
mal has image perms now
I know its not a 1-for-1 equate
yes, but ferrets can't spray, it's passive for them
My veteran is the only woman but she's the embodiment of anger and alcoholism
Neat
also descenting helps with most of the scent but not all, and males are stinkier than females
we love learning aminole facts
oh, so like humans

My perms have been reclaimed
did you know we successfully cloned black footed ferret
welcome back nerd
it's very good cause we hunted them to extinction back when fur trading was the thing, but luckily we found some in the wild
so called boysmell enjoyers when I send them to hell (smash tourney)
Yes now they're hundreds of you running through the streets stop this madness
Hello puri
actually the black footed ferret (native to america, non domesticated) is still endangered
and they are important to prevent overpopulation of praire dogs
i think domestic ferrets are doing pretty well besides mills
How you doin
puppy mills and cat mills are very bad, but ferret mills are especially bad
I love not having rats
a domestic ferret can normally live 10 years, a milled ferret usually lives no longer than 3
reminds me of opossums 
kinda like inbred cats and dogs from mills
a healthy, but domesticated, one will live 17-25 years
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
but an inbred mill cat/dog can have all sorts of insane issues
making their lifespan all over the place
after a few minutes they'd always come back up
yea domestic rats are adorable pocket puppies but they do not live long
i do like poppy
Not exactly rare.
the insects who do this blow my mind.
Male fruit flies literally don't have a mouth
and will die in 24-36 hours after being born
so literally just nut and die and it somehow works
its illegal for me to own rats
up to 1k fine last I checked
strange.
yea
i think our city should ban rabbits
cause some keep getting out and making hybrids with the wild cottontail ones
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
I've seen some snakes and other venomous thing banned but never rats
a buddy of mine in high school had a 7 foot long something snake
can't remember the species
thing always spooked the shit outta me, but he had a whole wall uh
aquarium?
just search the rat distribution map
but for snakes
and guess
yee it makes mules
that is why it isn't good
cottontail+domestic make mule babies
they are pretty cute tho
I mean, 1200's elves vs 1600's dwarfs doesn't feel fair
God I want a chameleon again bro was the chillest guy ever
i don't much care for lizards
one of my aunts had bearded dragons and not only are they stupid and no sense of self preservation they weren't even that nice
elves are boring
whenever i think of frogs, i just think of that one lady where her frogs would get stuck trying to eat her fingers
and she would have to carefully pry them off
I couldn't do that
Elves are only cool when they have cool fantasy features other than "long ear and like nature"
yo im making darktide characters in tabs and i wanna make the zealot next cuz i just got done with the veteran
anyone wanna hop in vc and help
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
i like the warhammer wood elves, very bloody
That is cool
d&d is rough to say cause... it depends on the DM and setting
Warhammer wood elves are cool because of their brutality regarding defending nature, and also the fact that they hang out with actual tree dudes
u mean aeldari?
Most people that I bring up the trance thing to had no idea it exists so sadgely yes
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
no, warhammer fantasy
wood elves don't exist in 40k just fantasy
oh yeah fantasy is a thing
you could probably homebrew a craftworld that is wood elf themed
yeah i guess
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
including GW
Wood elves cool, but lizardmen are my absolute favorite race in WHF
real and based
I love the Drizzt books
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
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
i love immortality being horrific instead of something being nice
I find out it is a like 30 year-long series, and it has been on my shelf ever since 
my mom had all of them up to uh
book 10?
something like that
and the Cattibrie quintuplet or whatever it was called
oh yea, i read past that, past when catti brie and everyone else had died
not cattibrie, but the cleric guy
The Cleric Quintet
I literally read that book in half
along with the first Gaunts Ghosts omnibus 
There is a reason why liches aren't exactly put together up there 
as in, read it so many times the binding in the spine split in half giving me "two" books
I love liches
Wtf I don't remember that scene lmao
immortality is spooky because inevitable heat death of the universe and whatever
sounds like hell with extra steps
Kars by some miracle floats back into Earth, gets evaporated by stand users immediately
I thought of a funny idea regarding phylacteries
Imagine some freak of nature barbarian with insane con who swallows the phylactery or gets it magically attuned to his stomach or smth
Bro is a necrotic engine now with a permanent regeneration-locked lich in his stomach fuelling him
Good BBEG idea 
my fav lich is Daurgothoth
a fucking nerd who only wants to do magic
and who is blessed by mystra
being undead kinda leans you away from good by default
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
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
Ohhh sick
i kinda get archliches
An archlich cleric sounds awesome
but being undead changes a lot
God's best soldier, too angry to die
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)
they seem fundamentally different to other undead
what if grandma is the hero
they dont have mental issues like deteriorating personalities
true, I am kinda biased seeing through certain lense of settings
holding up
nah, some liches can indeed be just as crazy as they were in life
yea me
and being undead in most settings dulls your positive emotions
you don't feel any sort of warm happy feelings anymore
This is going off of FR so undead may be different
i just see any archlich for any period of time either sliding to NG at most
if not LN or N
Withers be out here like "No."
Though, spoilers ahead
withers isn't evil
|| He's the old god of death ||
I love withers
So like
i'm not saying liches have to be evil
he's in a weird spot for undead creatures
I'
most undead creatures wanna eat your liver
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
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
Man, i finally met Ketheric yesterday and i was like Heyyyyy i know that sexy voice
my ass could not stand being a paladin
I don't get what people hated about the paladin rules though
THEY'RE SO VAGUE
this shit is super fuckin obvious though
don't be a prick
judge fairly
don't lie
like
me oathbreaking everytime I play just to listen to the knight
Vengeance has more leeway than the other 2
oh and for OoTA Paladin
Form love
cause you gotta keep your own light too
not just foment light in others
Shadowheart my beloved 😍
OoTA has the most leeway
You cannot fail your oath so long as you kill evil creations
there's not another interaction in the game that can make you fail it
Auntie Ethel - no deal
etc etc etc
you can toy with raphael, but you can't take his deal.
Stuff like that.
Unnatural and evil phenomena gotta go
Other than that, go buck wild kid
I think Ive played every class except paladin for a considerable amount of time
Oh one time i made a blackguard fallen paladin in 3.5e
Im getting into multiclassing rn in my current campaign
It's the simplicity of vengeance I like
You see and hear any evil
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
Makes for interesting roleplay imo
Augh I gotta stop multitasking
I never did anything with that book in BG3
It just kinda stayed in a box in my camp for the whole campaign
Based
Never bothered with the thay book too lmao
I forgor I think you have to remove curse it
The last spell you get from it is gad
Yeah I couldn't figure it out, so it just stayed in camp for the whole campaign
Is it kill cloud?
womp womp
my fav spell will always be disintegrate
Danse Macabre
shit goes hard
It rules because ghouls can paralyse on hit
And if you have a paladin or rogue in your party, big numba go boom
Hold monster
Hug monster
do not the monster
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
Just don't do the nightsong before you free them and you'll be alright
that's the answer i needed thx
Neato
man, i'll probably have to genocide the entire tower to free them ;/
You just need to kill the whole moonrise prison and the docks area of enemies
The rest of moonrise won't turn hostile
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

stamina to carapace and surgical to pinning fire or cavalcade?
ouch
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
hi all
Allor
been cooking the heretics, recently
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
@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
i thought you were talking about devils claw for a second
and i was so fucking confused
my folding sword
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
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
may god have mercy on your soul
H1 PA puts in work on hordes, competes with Caxe.
BM caxe?
mhm
damn
assuming BM on the Taxe
wait taxe
i am speaking of the shovel
folding taxe
how many fucking mk7s are there
Well this is where I also throw in that the Mk VII Taxe outcompetes DClaw for horde clear.
my favorite part about the taxes is that the heavies stagger ragers for some reason
special staggers like everything too
was kinda nice when i needed to fight a crusher for 10 minutes
a fucking ogryn shovel requires thrust and crunch or the impact talent and thrust on a headshot
how are u fighting a crusher for 10 mins
it was a taxe bad joke
on a vet melee build i can get a taxe2 up to like 900 dps with shred/recip
(vs carapace)
trust no one...
you have not betrayed my trust nor given me a reason to stop trusting you
i was running DD scriers
i want them to make psyker blessings for all the non force weapons
wasnt running cara
unironically put warp nexus on literally everything
why the fuck do you keep changing your name josho
stan
abusing my compact discord like this
stan

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
dude why does the mk3 shovel have such a bad push attack
is that the overhead
ah
it chains into the overhead heavy
yeah shovel lights have never felt great to me minus the attack speed
that's just one build, you can still use pinning fire + surgical or shattering
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
surgical works on vet because u just not interact with suppression
also not taking shattering because you should be chastising vs crushers anyways and at that point the brittleness isn't doing much
well, i disagree
flak ADM is p cracked
at least there's actual perk choices on bolter for zealot I guess
you don't have to chastise all the time
carapace/maniac/elites/flak
but its just PF+Cavalcade
and das it
for "meta choices"
i think josho runs cara actually
and i was adsing with a bolter without supression for the longest time
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
^
I think my gut feeling would be:
Carapace, Elites, PF, Cavalcade for the ideal zeaot bolter
with FotF and throwing knives
i agree with puri
down to whatever keystone you want
you have choice
thats p much what i run
and cavalcade + pinning is probably the most meta
but that's not the only one
surgical can do work on like a MF vet
if yes, elites, if no, maniac
surgical deadshot is p much baseline 50% crit chance for how you use it
and i ran with a zealot just outdamaging everyone on bolter with pf + shattering
that means very little
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
scoreboard numbers aren't super indicative of the optimal choices for weapons
idk how often im really noticing the brittleness, or anyone for that matter
it's not evidence,, it's just that your weapon is not bricked if you get shattering + pf
bolter's adms vs non-cara are super high
it's weird and i don't think particularly lore accurate which is a shame
i used marksman + deadshot on surgical bolter and revolver... and i prefer revolver 😦
even tho i feel marksman is just making me overkill everything except a crusher
if im playing a ranged backline type build im never taking revolver because i will simply spend too much time mid-fight in downtime
josho does make bolter MF look really good though
it'd be kinda unfun to shoot through enemies dealing minimal damage though
needing to actually use the minimum arming distance would be pain
a lot of the time im hitting spread out targets behind or beyond my team that aren't lined up for cleave
i mean it's a mini rocket
ah yeah
i think the buff to 1.0 adm from 0.85 was completely unnecessary
crab thinks so
the flak adm is actually so good your better off not chastising maulers unless your consistently headshotting iirc
yeah the DPS likely evens out essentially
it uploaded twice what da hell
it only uploaded once
woe upon my STUPID brain
wym
no the video doubles
oh i see
idk what the hell causes that
also unironically a lot of the time you don't even have to hit heads
this thing is really similar to p12 pf bolter but you have to go full in on ranged damage
or you have like anything going
and crits
this is probably (i say this all the time) my favorite vet build
full left side is fun
ive seen you just kinda chill in poxwalkers before i clear them lol
iron will gives you like 1 more swing before death with my measly 163 toughness
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
i use this on my rev and bolter
becoming a true vet
and you can dodge-dance a lot of stuff anyways
its like the bell curve meme
crushes are elites
watching you not quite kill those gunners
i think flak/elites with my build gets you a 1 shot bp
on maulers
with all the buffs up
dreg gunners are pain
unarmored is a perk i never want to run but sometimes i wonder
although elites usually covers it
i really wish i could take out for blood on a marksman build but i literally never have the points
no duck n dive sounds like it hurts
this is why I hate vet's tree
it just feels like three distinct builds
instead of something that you can flex around with like the other trees
i don't always ads
honestly i like vet having more specific playstyle identities
i do like it feels so distinct
but the number of nodes is too high
its just got bloat
i do hipfire a lot if adsing is too costly
like i love psyker but one of my main issues is it kinda feels like 2 builds
as opposed to like a varied tree
Had my controller explode on me twice, playing zealot. Thumbsticks popped off
I think BR is underrated
But it also just doesnt feel good to use
i use my bolter the same way on zealot and vet tbh
my vet thinks he's a zealot
Assail and smite just have more flair to them
shotgunners
it would feel a bit better in a world where Assail RMB didnt do 90% of BRs job too
coherency if we can rally
my playstyle for it on the classes are the opposite of each other
assail pretty much just comes with BR if your not fighting a crusher
To be fair, like middle tree works for any build
although sometimes i end up having to do dumb shit because i dont take suppression immunity
minus uncanny stuff
