except for that one crustaeceous mfer

fair igloo
#

I'm just generally not a big fan of changes like that because it can easily snowball into a TF2 equalizer type of situation where something was so overpowered they decided to snip the weapon in half and we got one that was really good still and then the other half literally became useless and has no real point even existing in the game

royal vortex
#

marksman's focus and weapon specialist are the most interesting keystones in the whole game

south folio
#

sure there's the possibility that they ruin stuff

royal vortex
#

there's a ton of keystones that are just flat bonus for doing nothing

coarse birch
#

yeah

south folio
#

but that's just an argument that calls for sheer inaction

coarse birch
#

keystones are very bland

#

oh boy power for playing

royal vortex
#

weapon specialist really just has the sin of bad upgrade nodes imo

south folio
#

and assumes that fatshark is going to make a single change nothing else later

#

e.g., look at vet as an example, who went through a few iterations

stable cypress
#

Idk weapon specialist at most is quickswappinf to 1shot some nerd for buffs then going back to Never Reloading

royal vortex
#

simply wrong

#

u must embrace manstopper/flechette lawbringer shotgun

fair igloo
south folio
#

even if they get it off, they can just correct it later piecewise

coarse birch
#

the BLEEDINATOR

#

it must live on

royal vortex
#

i think u fix a lot of issues if u swap the fire rate bonus to swap speed as well

#

because weapon specialist bolter unironically needs to be a reality

stable cypress
#

Sometimes said 1shot clears the horde too sure

misty mason
#

OK HD2 chat, how does the flame breaker stack up against the regular post nerfs?

south folio
#

there's nothing nuanced that you can implement about fighting 10-20 ragers

royal vortex
#

and then change one of the stamina nodes (probs the stam cost one) to something that more meaningfully interacts with automatics

#

i like that vet keystones work better with some playstyles than others, thats pretty much the entire idea behind keystones representing the core idea of a "subclass" branch

coarse birch
#

yeah it would be really hard to create cool interactions when you can literally turn the game off or DPS check everything in 2 seconds

#

or when stuff is just 30 of one guy

fading vale
#

I mean we can see what we are talking about with an incredibly recent and relevant example, the railgun.... obviously broken and ignoring the game and then half the community cries about it for 0 reason when there are more options now and it's still a fine weapon, but now they have to engage with how the game was designed more

south folio
#

bring player power levels down and reduce the amount of elite spam

royal vortex
fair igloo
stable cypress
south folio
#

with ragers, fighting them in melee requires that you either hit trade or block trade

south folio
#

and both become extremely impractical when the game spams a bunch of them

#

besides the trauma/crusher/smite/etc., imagine yourself fighting 10-20 ragers in melee

royal vortex
#

ragers are an area-denial enemy that punish you if you ever get too close to them

south folio
#

also, the game spamming 5-10 bulwarks at you

fair igloo
south folio
#

there's also no fun to be had with bulwarks

fair igloo
#

like as in you're never like unable to do something?

royal vortex
#

when 20 spawn and surround you from every angle (because the slots system makes it so enemies will move to cover you from multiple angles) you cannot do anything unless you have a button that turms them all off

coarse birch
#

bulwarks with shotgunners behind them are like

#

so ass

#

they just stagger reset

south folio
#

yeah

coarse birch
#

actually cant fucking interact

south folio
#

and in ultrakill, you always have access to a wide arsenal

royal vortex
#

i almost exclusively play weapons that shut down bulwarks nowadays because its legitimately just

#

not fun in the slightest

#

to deal with them

fair igloo
#

I feel like that's not particularly the case right? Some enemies are just designed to be fought a certain way

royal vortex
#

half the time you can't even properly duel a singular one because enemies or teammates will do stupid light stagger resets

south folio
#

because of your arsenal

fading vale
#

why does fatshark have good hitboxes on everything except for 180 degree force field shields

fair igloo
#

Ik that during the wrath update and even now still high level cybergrind players dislike idols because it forces the player to prioritize the idols first and force destroy them with the KB

south folio
#

whereas in darktide you're more limited

#

and the game is designed around that

fair igloo
#

Like in ultrakill, if there's an idol you just have to go and melee it to destroy it or else you can't really do anything else
similarly to ragers if there's alot of ragers you just go and shoot them
or stun them iggg

royal vortex
south folio
#

ultrakill and darktide are two different games at the end of the day

coarse birch
#

yeah you do just shoot them but thats not interesting and very limiting

fading vale
royal vortex
south folio
#

and in ultrakill a lot of the engagement is in doing combos and whatnot

royal vortex
#

20 ragers

#

however

south folio
#

in darktide, there's much less of these combos

royal vortex
#

has very few solutions

fair igloo
#

When 20 idols spawn u don't exactly have alot of options to deal w/ them

#

Like I just feel like creating "special units" with specific gimmicks are MEANT to do that as their job

royal vortex
#

i don't really care about ultrakill

south folio
#

yes

#

we're not arguing about that

#

and we agree that 20 idols is also going to be annoying

#

do you know what we're even trying to say

fading vale
#

TLDR DT has a whole combat system and 20 bulwarks ragers and maulers just say lol no AND IT'S CONSTANT

south folio
#

we're saying that the amount of ragers should be brought down

royal vortex
#

ragers specific gimmick is completely shutting down melee combat for the majority of the weapons in the game

#

if they have enough density

coarse birch
#

and the weapons that can fight them in melee are just abusing dumb shit

fair igloo
zealous basin
#

ragers are special units that do their job pretty well

#

when there arent 20 of them

coarse birch
#

yes we are arguing for both

south folio
#

the point is to make enemies more of an individual threat

royal vortex
#

ragers also need to have actual global melee counterplay

fair igloo
#

So again wouldn't that be like nerfing V1 in exchange for less idols spawning so idols are more of an individual threat?

neat hatch
#

my auric teammate

coarse birch
#

we are saying nerf players so that you dont HAVE to spawn 80 of something for it to maybe be a threat

royal vortex
south folio
royal vortex
#

ragers rn are genuinely too good at what they do but there's no reason to nerf them when 90% of ragers are shot before they hit a player

zealous basin
#

im confused as to why anyone is arguing that 20 ragers spawning is a good thing

#

like its obviously dumb

royal vortex
#

vt2 plague monks/berserkers to my knowledge have a lot more counterplay you can do to fight them with any weapon

coarse birch
#

i will say stuff like shotgunners def need a change idc about 100 of them

zealous basin
#

did plague monks really have any counterplay it just spawned less of them

fading vale
#

shotgunners went from the most dangerous enemy to the least

fair igloo
#

I understand the point you're going for is to try and find a middle ground where the player isn't so overpowered it invalidates entire groups of ragers and makes fighting smaller groups of them more engaging, but I also do just think that nerfing the player can remove alot of their options and cause it to be less engaging because now there are LESS things they can do to approach the situation

royal vortex
#

ragers have inflated hit distance, obscenely long attack combos with minimal time between them (so the stagger res is always up), etc

fair igloo
#

but i'm kinda dumb

south folio
royal vortex
fading vale
stable cypress
#

idk if anything plague monks are worse b/c of their damage output and how vt2 sometimes just spawns them right on top of you (A lot of this is chaos wastes spawnjank tbf)

fair igloo
#

i'm still upset about the grenadier gauntlet melee nerf ๐Ÿ’”

south folio
#

like, stop thinking overly-specifically about what we mean by nerf

zealous basin
#

idk i remember plague monks being wildly bullshit

royal vortex
#

i actually dont mind them having dodge catch its just u cant do anything to them if it isnt staggering

zealous basin
#

but 1. they only ever spawned in like groups of 4 max
2. they were loud as FUCK

coarse birch
#

dodge catch is fine because you dodge every other enemy

south folio
#

just inerpret our statements in some reasonably positive manner instead of assuming the worst about what we mean by "nerf"

coarse birch
#

but yeah you have to have distance or stagger

stable cypress
#

Like you can duel one or two but after that it gets really iffy if you can't thin them out before they get to you or you have friends ready to help (Or you're fucking ironbreaker)

royal vortex
#

this game probs shouldnt have iframe-style dodging for melee but the net code is so god awful

#

that i would not want to see it w/o it

fading vale
#

I mean it is more complex than iframes

royal vortex
#

marginally yea

stable cypress
royal vortex
#

but in practice if you assume it works like that you're gonna survive most of the time

fair igloo
# south folio you're overthinking what we mean by nerfing

Well ik i'm overthinking it
My point the whole time has been that trying to balance things ENTIRELY like that can cause it to snowball really really fast which can ruin balance alot more than fix it which is why I don't like it when devs try and fix their game by solely changing numbers like overwatch
I don't disagree that small tweaks are needed here and there, it's just that likeee I'm still more on the side that devs should avoid it whenever possible

coarse birch
#

they should prob just be less spammable

stable cypress
#

and the tzeentch modifier deciding to be Funny

royal vortex
south folio
royal vortex
#

90% of the nerfs theyve done have been genuinely inconsequential

south folio
#

ultrakill wasn't ruined when they nerfed sharpshooter was it

coarse birch
royal vortex
#

the game has significantly more of a runaway issue with power creep than nerfing

zealous basin
#

we're really arguing with "devs shouldnt nerf, generally" as a take huh

fair igloo
#

WAIT NOO DON'T PUT IT LIKE THAT ๐Ÿ˜ญ

royal vortex
#

but then again u can actually fool gamers into thinking weapons are worse than they are

fair igloo
#

I mean it more as "Nerfing shouldn't be a developer's first course of action immediately"

royal vortex
#

by putting a negative number next to a patch note

coarse birch
#

i mean its been a while

royal vortex
#

like voidstrike getting a cara adm nerf

south folio
#

well it wasn't their first course of action

royal vortex
#

or the light strikedowns on chainsword having their cleave nerfed

coarse birch
#

and they have nerfed stuff well before

royal vortex
#

and still being some of the most obscene weapons in the game

south folio
#

the devs raised the spawn rate of elites/specials for a reason

#

and buff enemy hp

coarse birch
#

they did try buffing enemies

fair igloo
#

that's a fair point

fading vale
#

I'm sure we can agree that no class should ever have 90% DR basically for free right

coarse birch
#

but like who tf cares that crushers have more hp when uncanny exists

#

oh no

fair igloo
royal vortex
coarse birch
#

the guys i 2 shot and can spotdodge

OwO

royal vortex
south folio
#

i took gunner res off of my curios cuz of enduring faith

fading vale
#

remember when people defended 75% crit TDR

royal vortex
#

i actually didnt join the disc until after the first balance changing stuff

coarse birch
#

ogryns survivability is legit offensive

royal vortex
#

i was not here for the fleshtearer lacerate bleed op

coarse birch
#

me either

#

i got here like march

fading vale
#

I got called toxic etc many times for calling 75% crit TDR broken and what not

royal vortex
#

lmao

coarse birch
#

people defend current plasma

#

idk

fair igloo
#

I'm honestly mostly just worried that major nerfs for every class is going to change or ruin alot because changes like that are definitely nothing small

#

Which is why i'm like "overthinking the nerfs"

royal vortex
#

im at the point where i mostly just play sharpshooter vet w/o grenade regen because there's too many options on classes that simply shut down gameplay

fading vale
#

I mean they have kind of fucked the whole balance of the game

#

so what other option is there other than a rebalance

zealous basin
#

they gave players a massive amount of strength

#

it obviously needs to be adjusted

south folio
coarse birch
#

yeah i mean you saw psword nerf

#

so

fading vale
#

also difficulty levels exist, not everyone needs to be able to do auric damnation+ for free

south folio
#

so true i hate games

royal vortex
#

its kinda absurd how fatshark has a following of people who will just shit on literally everything they do

coarse birch
#

yeah they cant do anything now

south folio
#

fatshark nerfed the psword and was then quiet for a long time afterwards for a reason (g*mers)

coarse birch
#

there is a reason we dont get communications

fading vale
#

plasma nerf would be like railgun nerf

coarse birch
#

because people cant fathom enganging their braincells to pass the hardest diff

royal vortex
#

bring back autopistol vet

#

for 1 week

fair igloo
#

One of the biggest examples i'm thinking of w/ games getting ruined is overwatch with how the developers primarily rely on number tweaks to buff/nerf and balance after their readjustment/rebalance and we can kinda see how well that game is doing now so I just feel like taking a huge leap with a big redesign is a really big risk that can snowball really easily but that might be a dumb take

fading vale
#

overwatch has been shit for years

#

and they fucked it up a long ass time ago

fair igloo
#

that's trueee but even the comp players that's stuck with it since the beginning agree that OW1 was leagues better somehow

#

and then ow2 went on steam and stole the record for lowest rated/reviewed game on the platform

royal vortex
#

fuck it u know what lets cause chaos

#

unban darcy

fair igloo
#

but like besides the point

#

I just don't want it to snowball like that Lol

fading vale
#

I'm not sure about the current meta but I think they would disagree as to when OW1 was the dumb tank and shield meta

south folio
#

though the low rating was primarily because of reasons besides balance

fading vale
#

but idk how it is now

fair igloo
#

Current meta is just supports currently
They did ANOTHER rebalance where they gave every character 50 health, health regen, and changed the passive ability all DPS characters have to try and remedy it but like

fading vale
#

right, they promised a bunch of things and were like here have OW1 relabeled

fair igloo
#

blizzard devs will be blizzard devs
They also ruined the hitboxes

zealous basin
#

if darcy comes back ill start getting wasting again

fair igloo
#

like at the time there was nothing redeemable about the game

royal vortex
zealous basin
#

bitch i dont go out drinking anymore

#

i havent in months

fading vale
#

oh so you just do it alone now

zealous basin
#

yeah

#

but that means i get less drunk

#

im not wasted

south folio
fair igloo
zealous basin
#

speaking of which i think i'll crack me a cider

#

good idea

fair igloo
#

if the changes are like TOO major the people that enjoyed the game for what it was are going to obv be upset
and I kinda like the gameplay for how it is rn but that might just be my low standards

fading vale
zealous basin
#

:)

spiral anvil
#

Are we getting darktide 2

zealous basin
#

i didnt say its good i just said im not wasted

south folio
#

and whatnot

fair igloo
#

that's fairrr i'm just most worried about it from the gameplay side of the situation

south folio
#

at the end of the day, you can be comforted by the fact that darktide has a shitty community and that fatshark is afraid to poke at that bee's hive

coarse birch
#

really glad people here can think logically and not get upset when their braindead mindless easy mode weapon gets nerfed

fair igloo
spiral anvil
#

Are we the shitties ๐Ÿค”

coarse birch
#

god forbid my hard game is hard

fading vale
#

played HD2 since patch and was like oh wow, not 3 railguns and woah people are using the laser cannon

royal vortex
south folio
fair igloo
#

I'm actually so glad they made a few of the unusable strategems viable now I just hope they're eventually able to do that with everytrhing

coarse birch
#

negative number next to my weapon

#

unusable

fair igloo
#

I remember first trying the laser cannon and being so disappointed ๐Ÿ˜ญ

fading vale
#

chainsword so unusable now

royal vortex
#

"stupid devs only nerfing stuff and not buffing underperforming weapons"

coarse birch
#

my void strike was unusable

south folio
#

also, some nerfs to comfort yourself with are the assail and voidstrike nerf

royal vortex
#

says the man playing the patch where the majority of changes were buffs

spiral anvil
#

Railgun malding mainly just boils down to chargers suck and now they suck even more.

fair igloo
#

Also the breaker spray and pray not being able to destroy eggs pre buff

south folio
#

believe it or not, they were nerfed, and theyre still really fucking good

spiral anvil
#

In a chargerless world railgun nerf would be positively received

fair igloo
#

Ig fatshark has a good history of not overnerfing most things

royal vortex
#

chargers are one of the least aggravating enemies in the game imo

spiral anvil
#

Nuh uh when you got 8 of them

royal vortex
#

theyre just annoying to actually deal with instead of stunlocking you or instakilling you

fading vale
#

if people knew how chargers worked then it would be less bad but I can agree they seem annoying relative to other enemies

royal vortex
#

the question is always why do u have that many enemies and the answer is oftentimes because people aggro every patrol

fair igloo
#

chargers are more annoying when you kill them mid charge and then their ragdoll hits you and lands on top of you and now you're stuck under a corpse until it despawns ๐Ÿฅน

fading vale
#

cause it's not self explanatory that you can shoot charger legs when they are charging/sliding

spiral anvil
#

Or you shoot them with an EATs, they stagger but drift into you and kill you because ping

fading vale
#

and their weakspot isn't enough of a weakspot

spiral anvil
#

Latest dev post mentioned nerfing their overall health pool would be a brilliant change

north sedge

A friend of mine got killed by a hulk that very slowly tipped over and crushed him when it died, he was so pissed. All i took away was that it was fucking hilarious to watch the gisnt robot slowly tip over and crush a man

Like that's not rlly a balance problem it's just that I didn't have my anti armor gear with me I would have died either way

the only thing i wish is that shit wouldnt get launched super far into the air randomly when they die even if it is funny

fading vale
#

it captures the starship troopers chaotic kinda vibe really well with the physics and what not

watching a charger take to the skies because u hit its leg with an assault rifle is comical but just looks like the game breaking more than an organic wacky moment

I'm not exaggerating when I say that a meteor storm has ended 10 of my matches today because people leave the second they die to one during a horde fight on an objective

they're a dogshit addition to the game

I may be able to put up with them, but the randoms clearly cannont

and that's NOT healthy for the game

oh I see this would not be a fruitful conversation

meteors are dope

the idea's cool

the execution is fucking stupid

they're just airplanes

yeah if only there was a bright circle or something on the ground to indicate them

or you could see the angle and use terrain to avoid them

calm salmon

it lies to you if you're not the host

north sedge
#

I enjoy when a meteor fongers me

calm salmon
#

also

#

terrain is rng

#

not every map is mountainous

#

fenrir iii happens to a giant fucking field

spiral anvil
#

Meteors might be bad, but volcano rocks leave fire on the floor and it's even more toxic KEKW_ogryn

calm salmon
#

with maybe one cliff

#

they just need to not spawn literally right on top of you no matter what

#

its pretty gamey

#

they should zone players out of part of the map instead

fading vale
#

it seems like you would benefit from having online friends to play games with

calm salmon
#

which would be far more interesting if you can't run somewhere against enemies because meteor storm is over there

north sedge
#

Zone would be lame

spiral anvil
#

They also fall and in fixed pattern, looks more like an orbital bombardment than a natural disaster

calm salmon

in a game about limited respawns

how

but zoning would be

do you go through 7 deaths

I mean I wasn't the host

and I died uh, twice the first time I saw them and never again?

calm salmon
#

so you have no idea if there's a meteor storm until shit starts exploding around you

calm salmon
#

they break the pelican

#

like artillery does

#

but unlike artillery, I have no control over this environmental hazard

#

it just says "no samples for the team"

fading vale
#

oh no I can't get further over the sample cap

calm salmon
#

they're buggy, inconsistent additions to the game

#

Lazorr I don't give a shit

#

but other people clearly do

#

and last I checked

#

this was a TEAM game

#

so yes, while I'm at 500/250/100 samples

#

my teammates are not, and its fucking stupid they can't even reliably extract because of a new environmental hazard

north sedge
#

I've seen the pelican take a direct meteor hit and be fine

calm salmon
fading vale
#

I mean the pelican bug isn't really related to meteors

calm salmon
#

The pelican has HP

#

which is the underlying issue

spiral anvil
#

Wait it does? I always nuke it and bomb it every time KEKW_ogryn

fading vale
#

everyone nukes it lol

#

it seems like people are somehow misunderstanding HD2 is a fun game

#

and tryna be ultra gamers or something

fair igloo
#

uh oh

calm salmon
#

hulk and devastator rockets

#

though those two take way more than our funny orbitals

#

but they will break the pelican

#

and now the meteors

fading vale
#

I have seen the pelican be 500d many times

#

with 0 effect

calm salmon
spiral anvil
calm salmon
#

and the eagle 500kg has an inconsistent damage profile at best anyway

In any case

#

my biggest gripe with the meteor storms is during fights

fading vale
calm salmon
#

You just can't do anything about it

#

dodging 9 chargers

#

now I need to somehow dodge meteors on top of this too

#

Its just really badly designed and randomly takes a bunch of respawns from your team for no reason

Idk I just laugh when I get hit by a meteor

and then I mostly don't get hit by them

that or maybe try a hammer, i run crit spam with eviscerator, and i like eviscerators since they comfortably deal with ragers

really my level of "do i like this weapon?" burns down to 'can this delete ragers instantly?'

#

it's why i love the helbore so much on veteran, just...stab the bugger repeatedly.

After seeing the latest cosmetic drop, what are the chances Fatshark ever adds a Redemptionist set to the game? Its literally all I want ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I usually run dodge/speed build cause I believe movement is key on this game

#

And so I have to pick throwing knives

And these mothafackas knives

#

Thrown to the head one shots ragers

#

If you are true Crit build you should be playing the charge right?

#

Charge knock backs ragers letting atleast 2 of them open to be defeated by melee

#

If you are precise and quick enough

#

(scab ragers hmmm I deal with charging revved attack> release> slide before the hit reach to get distance)

spiral anvil
#

Most weapon specials will stagger ragers, if you loop special + attack you can deal with solo ragers without any fuss.
The more ragers there are you just have to bait them such that only is attacking you at a time, then do the above.

Alternatively use a crusher or a gun lol

my personal favorite at the moment is Uncanny Strike (mandatory) and either Lacerate or Flesh Tearer, if using Lacerate, then it's a momentum build, if using Flesh Tearer, it's a Crit build. Ranged weapon can be whatever you prefer.

unyielding if you like to shoot ogryns without caraspace

i dont need unyielding

my melee deals with unyielding fine enough i think

If you use chastise fury of the faithful carapace is okay, flak/maniacs/unyielding would be my go-to without it though

If you feel like using chastise, it 'downgrades' the enemy armor by one level for 5 seconds for ranged while still using the carapace perk as damage increase, so crusher groups can be mowed down faster

And what's with the Agripinaa shotgun

i run twbs on most builds, you dont get to use much of punishment because hammers dont use crit builds

yeah

boreal cedar

i cant cleave through maulers with a 5 stack right

ember yew

it does not affect cleave, so yeah

boreal cedar

alright was just wondering

left iron
boreal cedar

hammer has infinite cleave so its not possible to not get stopped when hitting a mauler if im not mistaken

or im i

sharp oyster

I still don't know how to use this weapon at all

feels weird

#

No

boreal cedar
#

maulers in groups of ennemies are my bane

sharp oyster

feels like a real shotgun lol

ember yew

all 3 braced guns are viable

basically something like this and you will easily obliterate any obstacles (aka trash mobs) so you can get your target, just be wary of bulwarks and crushers

I saw that my concern is I'm too used to play Gunlugger ogryn so i have to get used to this

#

you know, fighting 5 bullwarks and crushers at the same time

#

I'm not entirely sure about my role as a Zealot

fading vale
#

5 bulwarks and crushers you can just fire special spam and then chastise and clean up with melee

#

but yeah I wouldn't compare things to ogryn

#

they are quite busted right now

#

depending on the weapons and build you use I'd say zealot is the most grounded with a standard build, but you can also make zealot fairly busted

sharp oyster
#

Does this skill tree works?

#

Wrong one

#

Meant to say this one

fading vale
#

it does but you are gonna have a hard time dealing with several things by yourself, I'd also swap the chorus upgrade for TWBS

#

the first build is what I would call standard zealot

#

could run a similar build with a different blitz too if you wanted

#

and also I'd pretty much always take duelist

sharp oyster
#

I have it in both trees

#

Also how does exactly Martydom works, what does missing wound mean?

left iron
#

The segments of your health are called wounds

fading vale
#

missing a health segment, doesn't need to be corrupted

sharp oyster
#

Yes I know but missing means corrupted or just empty

#

I guess you need to be at low health to have that bonus?

left iron
#

Either is fine

fading vale
#

low health is the max bonus but you don't need to do it on purpose, I'd just play normally and get the bonus when it happens

#

that way you can also get the gains from restoring faith and bleed for the emperor

trim zenith
#

Am i the only one who just never runs momentum? It's the very poster child of "mid" in the zealot tree.

#

Guess you can't go wrong with stock standard

fading vale
#

momentum is great

#

it just kind of buffs everything

#

all attack speed, dodges, all damage

trim zenith
#

Yeah it provides a mid buff with a much lower ceiling than piety and martyr

#

Guess it's just lacking the fun factor for me

sharp oyster
#

What is the purpose of Loner

fading vale
#

neither piety or marty are interactive at all really

#

momentum is the only one where you could actually try to max stacks with dodges

#

and use a bit of timing

#

piety is a boring flat buff

#

and marty is well, take less damage and get stronger when you take damage

trim zenith
#

Not just the keystones but the wholistic builds they enable

#

They do something different than just give stats

#

that's all momentum is, a stat stick

fading vale
#

crit CDR should die in a fire but other than that they are all kind of boring to a degree

trim zenith
#

Compared to what? We're only talking zealot here. Even if they're all boring, some are less so at least.

fading vale
lusty turtle
#

the toughness gen is neat on the left side of it, and it becoming a team buff

#

but its just kinda so passive u don't notice it

fading vale
#

I mean we have, free 25% crit, take less damage and do more damage when you are low health, and build stacks of momentum by moving and dodging to gain more of everything

lusty turtle
#

momentum atleast affects dodges

trim zenith
#

It's not just low health, wound builds fundamentally change your playstyle

fading vale
#

how

#

you just gain the ability to ignore more things

#

and take less damage

lusty turtle
#

ye i get what laz is saying

#

comparing zealot passives to say, vet keystones

trim zenith
#

that's pretty simplistic

royal vortex
#

keystones generally should be the major theme of a build but in most cases they are just stat bonuses

lusty turtle
#

vet keystones are activer and require you to do specific actions to be rewarded

fading vale
#

I suppose if you are really committing you can go low health on purpose but there's no compelling reason to do so

lusty turtle
#

all 3 zealot keystones just happen

lavish flame
trim zenith
#

min-maxing wounds is pretty nuanced

lavish flame
#

They hate having to "work" for it

royal vortex
#

none of the zealot keystones really care about a plasytyle. blazing piety really only has the limiter that you generally want a weapon that does something on crits but thats most melees and a decent number of the ranged options

lusty turtle
fading vale
#

take bleed for the emperor, take restoring faith if you want, and then just face tank the game with marty and a spam weapon

basically they went from having an infinite cleave sword that did damage vs all armour types and perminent 75% damage resistance to all attacks, to 20 target cleave, needing specific attacks that spend stamina for heavier targets and lost most of the DR (50% when above 75% toughness remaining)
