It does not make you immune to criticism when posted on a public forum

[frosty herald]

Dogpiling another person new to zealot chat

I wonder how many times its happened now

[obtuse stirrup]

May try crit hammer too tbh

[south folio]

do crit ironhelm

[red pollen]

Your criticism ignores the fundamental point and also the in game performance

[south folio]

now that's a peak build

[ripe quest]

It's almost an initiation at this point

[visual stream]

I would've been against it if he didn't enter the chat already swinging

[fading vale]

I mean 90% of the time it is because of their attitude

like you could tell from the moment they complained about helldivers that it was gonna be an issue

[ripe quest]

Doing fine with it =/= best solution to your problems. If you want a Thammer that can deal with crowds fine crit isn't the solution.

[fleet zealot]

I remember when i first got dog pilled

[ripe quest]

same

chain weapons arc

[fleet zealot]

Back post launch when i thought revolver was good

[fading vale]

I fought through the December hammer arc

[fleet zealot]

When it was utter trash

And hit like no good breakpoints

[little thicket]

New meta build for zealot just dropped

[red pollen]

Here’s my hammer, haven’t crafted one since January. Here’s more recent weapons I’ve switched too because this hammer build trivialized auric maelstrom.

Rev sword for the meme

[fading vale]

[fleet zealot]

i am more mad at fatshark for having nothing baseline in the game to help players measure their performance

outside of testing breakpoints vs non monstros

[fleet zealot]

why do you need crit tdr and momentum

[visual stream]

Bruhmentum

[fleet zealot]

you should already be tanky enough with blocks, dodges, and slides

[red pollen]

Because my teams die a lot

[fleet zealot]

part of your horde clear weakness if that you have momentum instead of headtaker/slaught

more damage/power= more toughness through killing

[red pollen]

And I’m stuck fighting everything that exists while working my way to the respawn

[fleet zealot]

yes

[red pollen]

But now my main is the mark 6 sword

[fleet zealot]

and im saying over the long term, headtaker/slaught

would help more

than momentum

[red pollen]

Maybe

[fleet zealot]

as for your sword, it's great

[little thicket]

Slaughter, headtaker dont just improve damage but also stagger, cleave.

[fleet zealot]

technically not teh best

[little thicket]

Also increaseing damage usally corresponds to somewhat increaseing survivalibility

[fleet zealot]

cause deathblow is the best and you add on headtaker

[little thicket]

Because the faster you kill the more toughness you get from kills.

[fleet zealot]

it lets you chop 4 elites at a time

[little thicket]

Is rampage power or damage?

[fleet zealot]

rmapage is more horde clear

than deathblow

[little thicket]

Yes

but does it have the property of damage

or power.

[fleet zealot]

deathblow is more damage when it comes to chaining elite kills

oh it's power

the tooltip is wrong

rampage gives power

[frosty herald]

Tldr marathon blows ass

[ripe quest]

You dislike the Thammer's performance against crowds and you don't even have Headtaker? What? oml

[red pollen]

I’m wanting to beat hard mode Karnak for my 1000th win

[elfin steppe]

Does this game have bots now? I kind of feel Mr.FortyIQ is a bot

[fleet zealot]

i really wish they attached something to the karnak twins hardmode

to encourage players to repeat it and carry new players through it

[red pollen]

Again the hammer is from January, I wasn’t even at 500 wins and zealot was my least used class at the time

[fleet zealot]

like a weekly "kill the hard mode again and get a package of crafting materials"

would be pretty nice

[red pollen]

Don’t think I ever even got headtaker in any roll

[south folio]

just doing a general timing test, i clear 130 poxwalkers roughly the same time with crit crucis and martyrdom (5 stacks)

[ripe quest]

Then get a Thammer that has Headtaker or Slaught before jumping straight into a weird build for it. Hell even try out an Ironhelm, Thrust + Slaught/Headtaker.

[south folio]

all poxwalkers being stacked on top of each other

[red pollen]

I have tried ironhelm I do not like the moveset

[fleet zealot]

slaught> headtaker by a top end of 40 vs headtakers 25

[red pollen]

Mark 6 heavy and crucis are my favorite move sets in Darktide

[fleet zealot]

but headtaker is easy to stack up

[fading vale]

probably cause the cleave damage still isn't much

but also lights are important which are severely underestimated

[ripe quest]

Special Heavy spam will outpace the Crucis. Can also do H1 H2 bc. It alone outpaces the benefit of crit on a Crucis.

[visual stream]

Krill issue

[dense field]

knife good

[shy river]

If I'm doin crits and eviscerator ya think shred/perfect strike is worth considering or should I just do shred/rampage

[fleet zealot]

shred rampage

not confident in marathon though anyways

[spare dome]

this is gonna be another BG3-esque circlejerk about how HD2 has big megacorps pooping their pantaloons because good game exist or whatever

[lavish flame]

Eh HD2 isnt as big of a deal as BG3 to corporations

Its pretty close to their regular modus operandii

[spare dome]

i mean BG3 is also not a big deal to corporations

[obtuse stirrup]

Real message would be if a significant enough number of people stopped buying dross

Or stopped buying oblivion horse armour shit

Shart cards

[spare dome]

-googles dross-
adding that to my collection

and yes exactly

they dont care that a good game made good money

they just want a game to make all the money

[fleet zealot]

EXCUSE ME

[spare talon]

[south folio]

not that type of collection

[fleet zealot]

this made me spit out my drink i was just reading about microtransactions and somehow that artist got brought up

[south folio]

then again, it's exploits

[obtuse stirrup]

Wait artist?

Actually shit I think I did see some work by somebody going by that name lol

Oops lol

Well it's also a word

[fleet zealot]

i have never

heard "dross" used as a word before

1. metallurgy : the scum or unwanted material that forms on the surface of molten metal. 2. : waste or foreign matter : impurity.

huh

the more you know

[south folio]

lmao

[sharp zodiac]

Oh I love that artist

[south folio]

360 no-scoped yourself

[obtuse stirrup]

I have no shame

[minor sage]

ye

they can keep pumping out

stuff like d4 or overwatch 2

and people will keep playing and paying

regardless

of how shitty it is

i remember asking someone why they played ow2

and they were like "eh it's just something to do"

cuz despite bg3 being a very good game, in the end it doesn't have predatory microtransactions

so it probably makes less money than shit like overwatch, destiny, whatnot

[lavish flame]

It makes less money than that one horse

[obtuse stirrup]

The WoW one?

[lavish flame]

Yes

[fleet zealot]

yea

we are long past the industry that just wants to make quality games

[frosty herald]

Oh yeah

[fleet zealot]

now it's a money making industry like verything else

[frosty herald]

The diablo 4 65 dollar mount

[lavish flame]

In fact they DONT want quality games

Quality means expenses

It means effort

It means long development times and complicated budget

It means more investment

Loans

Share dilution

[fleet zealot]

yep

same with movies

[frosty herald]

People will always buy slop

Look at skull and bones

[lavish flame]

Because rmb. End of the day, retail price of a game is low

So its easier to cut costs than up revenue

[calm salmon]

I think its just moved tbh.

EA, Activision, Ubisoft, et. al. are no longer the bastions of innovation that they used to be. Now its just down to indie devs but I don't really blame people not trying to sort through that particular catalogue for the diamonds in the rough.

That said, outta nowhere we got Baldur's Gate 3, Helldivers 2, Palworld and the like. So its not like gaming is completely dead.

[frosty herald]

People who say gaming is dead have a very narrow view of gaming

[minor sage]

Well actually

People wont lol

Look at how marvels, madam web in the movies industry is doing

As well as suicide squad, pyday3

[frosty herald]

Im talking gaming slop

[minor sage]

In gaming

I think were starting to hit a point where people are actually starting to care

[frosty herald]

There are people defending suicide squad to the grave

[minor sage]

And not buy stuff thats trash

[calm salmon]

Really all you have left there is Call of Duty, the 2k sports titles, and what not.

[minor sage]

ye 600 ppl on steamcharts, going down by the day

lmao

[calm salmon]

Every time assassins creed comes out with a "new but same" game

[frosty herald]

I am a bit excited for cod gulf war

Looking at how zombies will be

[calm salmon]

world at war had the best zombies

and that's shrimply the troof

[drifting wolf]

what do you think about bo3 zombies

[frosty herald]

It peaked at bo3

Cold war was also fun

[fading vale]

what if we could go back in time and make cod2 the last cod

[obtuse stirrup]

I still say Darktide is fucking awesome even with its flaws

600 hours and loved every one of em

[frosty herald]

I wouldnt have played over 300 hours if i didnt enjoy it

[fleet zealot]

gonna be honest

if it wasn't for the actual working devs

i wish the industry would just explode again like it did way back before i was born

[frank night]

did arco grant you permission to leak his gameplay

[coarse birch]

I dislike this image

[north sedge]

Yea he was excited to share his new dt settings

[south folio]

watch yourself, or you too will be put in the jar

this is false

[frozen glen]

why

[north sedge]

That's footage of the new and improved excise fault mid event

[frozen glen]

why have u made that image

[frank night]

why have i been placed in a jar

[coarse birch]

🤨

[south folio]

it's where you belong

[frank night]

what is the purpose of the jar

[frozen glen]

you know exactly what he's doing with that jar mittins

[frank night]

silence redverse

[coarse birch]

yeah there can only be one thing he is doing

[frank night]

i will vaporise you with my mind

[south folio]

🙂

[coarse birch]

this is why i dont like the image

[frozen glen]

how can u do that from inside the jar

[frank night]

ur in league with arco

horror

[frozen glen]

I am not

[south folio]

you're an accomplice to this now

the event horizon has been crossed

[frozen glen]

arcos gonna fill that jar with the analogy ice cream he used earlier

[fading vale]

his grace is blinding

[coarse birch]

surely mittins did not deserve this

[frank night]

excellent steve

[north sedge]

[frank night]

i sent him this earlier

[south folio]

steve is taking up 1% of the window and the vitamin d that you are losing out on will be th edeath of you

[frozen glen]

do not bring steve into this cursed conversation

he deserves better

[frosty herald]

Goes hard

[north sedge]

It's ok steve the crit hammer can't hurt you literally and figuratively

[coarse birch]

also good steve

[south folio]

no it doesn't

i strongly disagree

also i hope you didn't friend me to bombard my dms with insult like mittins has

[fading vale]

lol, end of yawn

[frosty herald]

I did not

[frozen glen]

I thought mittins only did that to josho

[coarse birch]

im p sure the implications of putting mittins in a jar and that image at least balance each other out

[south folio]

no, mittins is a menace

[frosty herald]

I just realized ive never friended you

[frozen glen]

he is a serial harasser I see

[royal vortex]

the funniest part about the jar thing is a couple months ago i explained to mittins what the jar means

wait was it mittins or cab

which old man

[fair igloo]

Wut does the jar mean

[royal vortex]

No.

[south folio]

🙂

[frozen glen]

it's just a jar

[coarse birch]

we cannot explain the jar

[south folio]

i can think of two bad things that have happened with jars

[fair igloo]

If it's just a jar why does it have significance??

[south folio]

🙂

[frozen glen]

me too but that jar is only specific to one of the incidents

[frank night]

ask your nurse

[south folio]

it is not about the jar but rather about what the jar can contain

[frosty herald]

You dont know about the my little pony jar

[fair igloo]

i'm not even surprised anymore 😭

[frank night]

THE DEFILER

[north sedge]

Lol

[royal vortex]

bet ur real happy getting to turn that one around for once

hope u choke on ur next almond

"the defiler" is so funny to me because it comes out of nowhere and it vanishes as quickly as he says it

[north sedge]

Including from his memory

[royal vortex]

blink

[frank night]

like an elf seeing some kind of demon lord

being unleashed

[royal vortex]

"ew wtf" and "how dare you" logically follow from one another in response to what dough posted

[south folio]

it is an old enemy of his

he engaged in great, many a battles beforehand

a lore not known to us

[royal vortex]

"the defiler" is now the title of the man who rubs ranch on his bare stomach while drinking it

[north sedge]

We don't truly know if he's calling him that or me

[coarse birch]

legend has it he still makes an appearance

[royal vortex]

true

[north sedge]

Which like, funny either way

[royal vortex]

he hides in the deleted logs of the darktide discord

[south folio]

so sad

CENSORED by the mods

[coarse birch]

😔

[royal vortex]

i deleted it voluntarily

[royal vortex]

i have done it many times

lmfao

[coarse birch]

yeah that might be for the best

[royal vortex]

the best one is the leghighs image

[frozen glen]

no

[coarse birch]

tbf during the jar talk i was half expecting our discord accounts to vanish

[royal vortex]

far worse has been discussed here

[coarse birch]

this is true

[frozen glen]

the 2 mods that visit this chat are dead

[delicate shadow]

you have no idea just how much psychic damage sits there for whichever poor sod checks the logs

[frozen glen]

holy shit he's alive

[royal vortex]

i want to ask "how much of it is stan" but i've heard of the things that get posted and subsequently deleted in this hellhole

[delicate shadow]

alive might be an exaggeration

[coarse birch]

and thats the stuff we know of

stan i mean

[frozen glen]

I can only imagine the things that get said outside of zelchat

[coarse birch]

[north sedge]

Something bad, maybe Hitler

[frozen glen]

darcy hd2 discord ban when

I got sent the rhino twice

[south folio]

this will harden him to be a better moderator

[violet hornet]

Doing the emperor's work, dough

some of us are just closer to the primordial microwave ice cream than others

[royal vortex]

the "i microwave the blizzard in the cup" thing last night was p funny

[coarse birch]

are we at least taking it out of the cup

[south folio]

what

[delicate shadow]

that actually

full sent me

[coarse birch]

apparently stan is very lucky

[delicate shadow]

bro doesn't even put it into a microwave safe dish

[coarse birch]

he did it multiple times

[royal vortex]

stan legitimately does not give a fuck about his own food safety

[delicate shadow]

just microwaves the fuckin' paper and plastic cup

[royal vortex]

he was cutting everything with blunt knives for months

[coarse birch]

god forbid stan get a take out box with tinfoil in it

[safe tusk]

Of course it's Stan

[coarse birch]

itll be over

[royal vortex]

and people were telling him

stan

this is dangerous

[south folio]

fear

[delicate shadow]

hi vanessawww

[south folio]

on two separate days

this is a godless planet

[royal vortex]

and trying to get him to buy knives and he was just like "im a full grown adult i'll do what i want" and its like bro ur about to hack pieces of urself off and become a mostly-grown adult

[delicate shadow]

been a while since I've seen you in chat

you chose a good time

[coarse birch]

does stan still use dull knives

[fair igloo]

why would u make me remember this

[royal vortex]

he bought new ones and then somehow i think he said they became dull again

[fair igloo]

i JUST got it out of my mind i was HAPPY

[coarse birch]

also most knife sets come with something to sharpen them

[ripe quest]

Bro is smashing them into wood or something

[south folio]

the truth is more important than your happiness

[delicate shadow]

it's like fucking warped lmao

[fair igloo]

Stan uses dull knives to make the meat suffer more

[frozen glen]

give stan a whetstone

[coarse birch]

hes also cutting raw meat

[near orbit]

bought this from melk, just switch carapace to flak?

[frozen glen]

actually don't hel'll just hurt himself

[south folio]

cope

[royal vortex]

he would ask why you need a wet stone as opposed to a dry one

[coarse birch]

that or unarmored to proc BM on bruisers

[fair igloo]

Would it be better if he took it out of the cup, microwaved it somewhere else, and then put it back in the cup??????

[coarse birch]

yes

[south folio]

at least he would be doing it safely

[delicate shadow]

I asked the question without thinking about the consequences of knowing the answer

[south folio]

foolish fool

[fair igloo]

that's fair

[coarse birch]

idk why he would put it back in the cup but

also wouldnt be eating part of the cup

[royal vortex]

never ask stan a question you aren't prepared to receive the weirdest fucking answer ever for

[fading vale]

you know the bread bowl lore right

[south folio]

go ask him why he makes a bread bowl and then pours out the soup to a separate bowl

[coarse birch]

i think so

[drifting wolf]

whats the POINT

[delicate shadow]

LOL

ok I remember this one

[royal vortex]

the oldest stan lore is now a distant memory in the archives of dough

[south folio]

this is a lesson in the futility of life

[fair igloo]

that's like getting an ice cream cone to eat separately while he eats his microwaved ice cream in the DQ cup

[delicate shadow]

it's a bowl and thus rounded so there isn't one

[coarse birch]

i feel like stan was some experiment put upon us to see how we react

[south folio]

this is absolutely something he would fuckin do

[fading vale]

were you there when he was bullied by an AI

[coarse birch]

i dont think so

[fading vale]

he tried talking to some chatgpt thing and got bullied

[near orbit]

If I wanted to switch a blessing, would BM be the anchor?

[south folio]

ye

[coarse birch]

yeah keep BM

but decimator is good

[hushed knoll]

I did??? Now I feel bad

[south folio]

it's the +50% toughness on melee kill one

[near orbit]

ik, just wanted to know in case I wanted to switch for shred later on for crit builds

[south folio]

aka you get 7.5% toughness per melee kill instead of 5%

[frozen glen]

yea stan u should take knives seriously

they're BLADES

[hushed knoll]

For years I used that knive and a serrated bread knife

[south folio]

[royal vortex]

his railgun shot didn't hit dough

[hushed knoll]

That I didn't know was for bread

I thought it was for meat

[fading vale]

[royal vortex]

any knife is for meat if ur a murderer

[fair igloo]

obv the solution is to sue and get 2 mill dollars off of the company

[frank night]

and then nobody can go in the toilet for the rest of the day

[hushed knoll]

I used to work with stripper and they would only give us think latex gloves lol

[frozen glen]

[hushed knoll]

Wax floor stripper

Sorry

[coarse birch]

yeah i was gonna say

[hushed knoll]

Should have been more specific lol

[coarse birch]

[hushed knoll]

Thin latex gloves and no eye protection

And when buffering it would splatter onto my legs

[delicate shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-radioactive-man-ny-eyes-goggles-do-nothing-gif-12845538

[hushed knoll]

[hushed knoll]

Pelé

Peel

[coarse birch]

[fair igloo]

that's terrifying

[royal vortex]

Pelé

[frozen glen]

Food

[coarse birch]

im actually surprised usually the like 11 dollar an hour jobs are the ones like that

in my exp

[drifting wolf]

very useful

[hushed knoll]

This was 13 per hour for 9 hours

[delicate shadow]

Each person has their own typing scent and my phone likes to change their names

this is some esoteric knowledge rn

[frozen glen]

[delicate shadow]

bro's phone has a demon in it

[hushed knoll]

[coarse birch]

yeah you dont have to pay

but it requires having the game as a second job ]

to not pay

[fair igloo]

The battle cats is good. Great game :)

[ripe quest]

they're usually action games or strategy games

[coarse birch]

and make any real progress

[sharp zodiac]

Games like genshin and arknights are examples of gacha

[frozen glen]

Luna plays 5 gacha games

[sharp zodiac]

I play one

[hushed knoll]

Isn't genshin the piano DDR game

[sharp zodiac]

Can't believe you'd do this

[coarse birch]

its the one with all the anime girls

[hushed knoll]

What is the piano DDR game then

[south folio]

there are anime boys as well

[coarse birch]

[frozen glen]

is there a gacha rhythm game

i've only played 1 gacha and it was the battle cats. Best game ever

[sharp zodiac]

No not for now two trucks

[delicate shadow]

Someone in my friend’s family’s church posted this

Thank you for allowing me this sale of food to raise fucks

[north sedge]

what in the x

[south folio]

the translation doesn't seem quite right

[north sedge]

i rate it high

(high as fuck)

[coarse birch]

what gives you that idea arco

[fading vale]

I had a friend post a heartfelt thank god Facebook message for surviving car accident (he was drunk and crashed into a pole)

[coarse birch]

ah

car

i was gonna say

[fading vale]

lol

[frank night]

u will be exercised

[royal vortex]

crush mittins under a hundred cinderblocks

[royal vortex]

incinerate mittins

[frank night]

why have you turned into arcotash

[frozen glen]

binch

[royal vortex]

i am channeling his energy

to place a curse upon you

[fading vale]

what's your spirit animal josho

[frank night]

woe

gatling turret upon thee

[royal vortex]

i have no idea

[frozen glen]

the spectre princess

clearly

[fading vale]

I wanna call an orbital vs crushers

[royal vortex]

"i did not try to kill you with a gatling turret" says the man who constantly references the gatling turret

and threw one at me

[frozen glen]

ogryn nuke

[royal vortex]

i wish the orbital barrage type things just did more

[north sedge]

punch josho has he prepares to orbital crushers

[royal vortex]

the walking barrage and the 380mm both are big disappointments

[north sedge]

nah the 380 is great at killing your team

[royal vortex]

the walking barrage failed in assassinating mittins

[frozen glen]

solely for base destroying

[fading vale]

380 be like I WILL SHOOT THE TEAMMATE 50M AWAY FIRST

[royal vortex]

after he lightly grazed me with breaker incendiaries at 30 meters

[royal vortex]

except 90% of the time they won't fucking destroy the things

[frozen glen]

that's why u use its baby brother

which kills ur team

[north sedge]

i prefer laser or airstrike for bases

[royal vortex]

the real base destroyer is rocket podding a fab next to a detector tower and watching the tower simply explode in sympathy

[royal vortex]

loading up with 500kg/airstrike/rocket pods/shield for blitz missions and just running around blowing shit up is peak

[fading vale]

eagle airstrike do be goated

[drifting wolf]

facts

[frozen glen]

having 3 eagle airstrikes is crazy

[drifting wolf]

eagle airstrike is ol' reliable

[frozen glen]

atleast get one orbital

[royal vortex]

yeah so i can use it once and wait 3 minutes for the next cooldown

[fading vale]

5 cluster bombs

[royal vortex]

the airbust actually seems genuinely cracked for throwing on a bug breach tbf

[frozen glen]

josho u use the 500kg

which has the same cool down

u dingus

[royal vortex]

since it fires a million times

i have the upgrade i get to use it twice

u liberal

[frozen glen]

then u have to wait to rearm cuz u have to use the rest of ur eagles

[royal vortex]

it is a price im willing to pay

i only actually bring 3 eagle airstrikes if its blitz because the name of the game is dakka

[calm salmon]

It can get kinda clunky.

I only like bringing 2.

Usually the 500 bomb and airstrike.

I use them at about the same rate so I'm never holding onto one or the other when I wish I had it.

Since eagle loadouts don't start their cooldown until all eagle charges are used.

[ripe quest]

I usually do a cluster and a normal airstrike

[calm salmon]

I just like the 500 bomb to save ammo on bile titans and tanks.

Otherwise I'm looking at 7-10 ammo gone from my gauss rifle

not a huge pain, but it does stretch team resources rather thinly if I'm not careful.

[royal vortex]

i bring the 500kg bomb because i have had one too many incidents where i am trying to take out a detector tower on doubled call times and my fucking hellbomb bounces into somewhere it wont damage the damn thing 3 times in a row

[drifting wolf]

500kg is a staple for me, i'm more flexible with my other orbital/eagle choice ig

[calm salmon]

500 bomb/airstrike

500 bomb/orbital gatling strike

that's uh

everything I take into every mission

[drifting wolf]

i might try out gatling strike sometime

[calm salmon]

I've used the 380mm barrage to some success on bot missions

its a metal gear solid 5 tool though

[frozen glen]

landing a direct hit on a bile titan with the 500kg is peak

[calm salmon]

sneak up to the edge of a large base, drop the 380 into the middle, then fuck off

before the bots know you're there

the 380 has absolutely no spot against bugs though

which is a shame

the 120mm can be okay for heavy bug holes with 9 of em, but the area of effect is still a little too large

[calm salmon]

Drop it and run

its not a particularly good offensive or defensive tool.

But its great as an escape tool due to the suppression it applies to enemies.

Patrols only chase you for so long, so the longer they're out of line of sight, the better.

[frank night]

u need to not let urself be menaced by a simple gatling turret

[royal vortex]

the problem is if i dont i get turned into an artistic representation of bossmanjack's late door

much like the landmines

[frank night]

the nearby gatling sentries will continue until morale improves

[spare dome]

man

told my buddy we could pretty quickly/easily nab up six purp samples

they were intimidated by the idea of a helldive

so we go for it

we do it

but right at the end, the samples i had pre-dropped

i pick them up

and they just

dont

lmao

the interact prompt disappears completely

and i cant fucking get them and neither could anyone else

very unfortunate

[visual stream]

Ermm why are we talking about Helldivers in the Baldur's Gate server

[split ibex]

Crusher enjoyers, what ranged weapon do you like pairing with the bonk stick?

[spare dome]

it's what i get for attempting to assist a filthy turret user

[polar nexus]

https://youtu.be/Ux9OkcSwQak?si=vOZevUJZiaI0z15U @ripe quest

[still quartz]

Not a true Crusher enjoyer here, but usually it's something that takes care of most Specials and shooters fast

The Autoguns do great work in that regard

Sometimes haw-yee'ing with any of the Revolvers works too

Shotguns are also nice to pair with Crusher

I don't recommend Bolter but it's an option so you do you

Kill Heretics, simple as

[royal vortex]

pretty much any ranged works. brautos with tknives are funny because with ff/ds stacks you can just annihilate ragers

https://streamable.com/7cez68

the crusher isn't super outstanding in most damage cases but its very versatile so ranged comes down to preference mostly

[frozen glen]

the crusher makes u feel cool and that's all that matters

[frosty herald]

def a more skill based weapon

[south folio]

yeah anything works

i like the brautos and whatnot to magdump into an enemy after staggering them with the crusher for that sweet +40%-80% damage

[coarse birch]

yeah ive had most things work with crusher

brauto is my fav prob but ive had bolter and laspistol work as well

crusher is p versatile

[royal vortex]

kant shotgun is literally right there

[lusty turtle]

HARK A RAGER

[coarse birch]

idk if arco is a shotty enjoyer

[south folio]

oh yeah shotguns

i run shotguns but forget they exist sometimes

cuz throwing knives

[coarse birch]

consumed by the knife

[south folio]

so true

[coarse birch]

that is fair though i run shotguns like a quickdraw tbh

[lusty turtle]

columnus braced is my go to on crusher for the suppression

[royal vortex]

the shotgun problem is that there's a 90% target overlap for it and tknives

[coarse birch]

josho dont kill me but im back on my AP on DD/scriers psyker phase

yeah quickdraw stuff with tknives is a little overlappy

but its still not awful

[royal vortex]

"ap"

if you're using the autopistol you're excommunicated

[coarse birch]

id imagine like manstopper shotty might work better

skele got me on it cause he mentioned wanting to test it

i forgor it was fun

why does AP of all things excommunicate me

i didnt use it when it was dumb

[royal vortex]

it is a gross weapon

[coarse birch]

your just a hater

[royal vortex]

it is uninteresting

[lusty turtle]

you're uninteresting

[royal vortex]

the ppl who harass me prove otherwise

[coarse birch]

yeah its not the most complex weapon

[ripe quest]

What a fucking joke

[coarse birch]

although tbh neither are like iags

[ripe quest]

god if I have to make a new fucking list

i stg

I can't even make a new list half of the time

game won't even let me play rn

[coarse birch]

@lusty turtle i cant believe you got me excommunicated from the group

fucked up youd do that

[ripe quest]

"New variants are substantially better"

Pairs a Mk II Evis with Bloodthirst + Savage Sweep vs. a Mk XV Evis with Rampage + Wrath like what the fuck man

no shit the Rampage one is gonna do better

actual dogshit

[coarse birch]

what is the list did he just like

compare all blessings

[lusty turtle]

[lusty turtle]

my powers are growing each day

[ripe quest]

It looks like he and whoever helped him grabbed whatever they had in their inventory and benchmarked it.

[coarse birch]

i saw wrath 3

[ripe quest]

Some of this stuff is using T3 blessings

[coarse birch]

and got concerned

[lusty turtle]

i also like how he starts the vid saying sheets like this should just exist ingame or something to that effect which like

what?

[ripe quest]

Well, w/ that I think he was trying to say we shouldn't be required to have to gather as much info as we need to

which is somewhat true

[coarse birch]

im all for more info, very specific TTKs against specific groups of enemies with less than optimal blessings is a little odd though lol

[ripe quest]

The amount of random math that you have to do for a proper weapon benchmark sometimes is weird.

And there isn't a proper way to test any of it ingame

[royal vortex]

there's a level of information the game doesn't show that it should

but TTK is not on that level

especially not comparisons like that

[coarse birch]

yeah

TTK i can at least experience in game reasonably

[ripe quest]

Yeah that's a given, I'd hope so at least

[royal vortex]

i also think there's an element of fun to having to math some stuff out and discover things on ur own

and i would rather not be spoonfed stuff even in an ideal world

[ripe quest]

I personally think more accurate cleave profiles should be shown, a better UI for ADMs, and enemy stats should be available ingame.

[lusty turtle]

blessing info def should be explained like power and stuff

[royal vortex]

the game needs a general glossary

[lusty turtle]

but this kinda ttk stuff is just wild

especially since each of his tests is a different build and different blessing set

[coarse birch]

yeah if i wanna deep dive thats fine

[lusty turtle]

like

[coarse birch]

stuff like that isnt even helpful past exhils list

cause idc how wrath 2 does against fuckin 2 ragers

[civic basin]

heh

[ripe quest]

My list is bordering not practical tbf.

[coarse birch]

ig like flak vs bruisers maybe

[ripe quest]

I'm probs gonna end up doing another list, this shit pisses me off

a bigger one with some more practicality to it.

[coarse birch]

yeah really in depth stuff on this game seems pretty rough

[maiden path]

guys

watch this

u guys missed it

[ripe quest]

the fuck is this

this is vs. bruisers

now I'm concerned about combos that are being utilized

[lusty turtle]

i guess no special activates on ironhelm at all

[ripe quest]

I'm actually gonna go ballistic over this

[frozen glen]

exhil u should know by now not to engage in darktide tubers

release yourself

inner peace.

also u misspelt ballistic

[ripe quest]

This is Reginald though dude, I fought w/ this guy for chain weapon justice not too long ago

[frozen glen]

if it makes u feel better I don't know who that is

Reginald is a fine lad
