The crit keystone will increase the chance significantly

ember yew
#

lacerate is more like for momentum node

polar nexus
#

even without...

ember yew
#

and insane atkspd

fading vale
#

even without piety you will crit half the time

#

and you can still hit heads

ember yew
#

i have played i think maybe like 50 games with both mk3 and mk6 during last week, FT/Lacerate + US and without and so far settled with mk6 with FT/Uncanny, i like push attack of mk6 and FT proven to be useful in dangerous niche situations

little thicket
#

So knife has a base of 15% and 5% from zealot base.

ember yew
#

main reason i prefer FT over lacerate is that i push stab the head and on crit i get the bleed

little thicket
#

Scourge can proc for 10% more that stacks 3 times but its inreliable

ember yew
#

lacerate is more for leisure light spam

#

its reliable on knife since you wont kill most stuff on 1 hit

polar nexus
#

you forgot chastise

ember yew
#

and chastice spam on knife is like the usual stuff

polar nexus
#

you forgot the fact that you'll hit so often that 20% crit chance will make you crits quite fast then scourge then more crits

#

boom max stacks

fading vale
#

you never want anything that incentivizes not hitting heads

#

absolute waste of time

#

a single headshot will do more damage than 4 bleed stacks ever will

little thicket
#

The problem with that line of thinking is assuming things in a vaccum

#

Headshots wont always be guaranteed

#

I dont care if you are a god at the game there still are situations where headshots wont happen

ember yew
#

16 stacks of bleed is not a joke and it takes 2 crits to reach it

#

when you swap targets

delicate shadow
#

thing is FT is better than lacerate straight up and you have to have uncanny

ember yew
#

that works especially well

fading vale
#

imagine using a knife and not hitting heads 90% of the time

#

literally just aim at the head

little thicket
#

Again its a vacuum example

delicate shadow
#

like there's zero reason to use lacerate even if you enjoy bleed because FT does it better to begin with

polar nexus
little thicket
#

If you think that you hit heads 90% of the time then sure

fading vale
#

also what keet said

#

flesh tearer doesnt care where you hit

ember yew
#

more like lacerate punishes you for headshot hits, i dont like that

polar nexus
#

or riposte

#

but on everything else? you just have to aim in front of you

#

i suggest using the crosshair mod btw

little thicket
#

Im not really looking to anyways improve my zealot.

polar nexus
#

having a crosshair in melee instead of the tiny point is waaaayy better to improve your aim and correct your posititioning

little thicket
#

I already feel busted enough as zealot

#

Zealot is ludicrously op.

polar nexus
#

compared to?

#

plasma shout vet?

little thicket
#

Any class

fading vale
#

zealot is ludicrously OP

polar nexus
#

void psyker?

fading vale
#

what

polar nexus
#

ogryn?

fading vale
#

the entirety of ogryn

little thicket
#

Mobility is op in the game

#

I know y’all don’t use mobility to its full usage

fading vale
polar nexus
#

stop with the tannering

little thicket
#

But i don’t constrain myself mentally in that regard

polar nexus
#

i am a high mobility enjoyer

#

i use regen stam 24 to 36% even

little thicket
#

Then you arent the average joe atleast in this chat

polar nexus
#

and i am mobile with every class

#

except ogryn :/

#

oh wait i can charge every 20s or so

delicate shadow
#

every class is op tbh

fading vale
#

every class has some OP things

#

and a lot of recently changed or added weapons are OP

#

CDR abuse is OP universally

little thicket
#

Yes but from my perspective the most interesting thing is to look at results

#

And with that i mean looking at results in actual toughest situations in the game

ember yew
little thicket
#

And zealot happens to dominate in that category

ember yew
#

zealot to me seems balanced

little thicket
#

The category is clutching, true solo

fading vale
#

my brother in christ you are calling zealot OP over "clutching true solo" with a fucking lacerate knife, like come on

little thicket
#

I dont get it

#

Elaborate

#

What is your point

delicate shadow
#

I don't think zealot clutches necessarily any better than other classes, they all have clutch tools

#

some builds are definitely worse at it but that's true of zealot also

fading vale
#

I will refrain from elaborating because you don't get it and I'm just going to be a dick and we aren't gonna see eye to eye so will leave it at that

little thicket
#

Im probably not your average joe trying to claim lacerate is good in this case.

polar nexus
#

and true soloing too

#

it has been done

little thicket
#

Alright then

#

Then which class has the highest amount in that category?

polar nexus
#

jsat does it with psyker, vet and zealot

little thicket
#

Jsat does it in normal, low int damn

polar nexus
#

that was as a baseline

#

he did hisg

little thicket
#

Recently?

delicate shadow
#

I wouldn't use solo as a good measure of how good things are in 4 player considering most solo play is just running away from shit

fading vale
#

ogryn is hands down the most overpowered class that just turns off the whole game

#

and yeah solo is mostly just running away

ashen pecan
#

is true solo modified to make the director treat it as 4 people too? or just the reduced difficulty 1 player remaining director mode

little thicket
#

It treats the game as normal but for 1 player

delicate shadow
#

I'm like 99.99% certain the game doesn't adjust based on number of players in the match

polar nexus
ashen pecan
#

i'm pretty sure it does, atl east reading the code for pacing

polar nexus
#

dot nl did a solo mael as a psyker

ashen pecan
#

there's specific coding for players alive and spawn directions

#

additionally zealot will always be top tier in solo mode because of loner

little thicket
#

The main problem will now be finding anything beyond that game

delicate shadow
#

I've never noticed anything in game indicating the ai director changes much based on how many people are alive or in-lobby

ashen pecan
#

the intensity of the game is significantly less when there's one player remaining

fading vale
#

idk the game I want to play involves like, engaging in all of the forms of combat and killing things

ashen pecan
#

dunno if you read lua but check the pacing settings for the game

delicate shadow
#

I read lua but I'm just saying in actual matches I've never noticed it if it's actually a thing

ashen pecan
#

anecdotally, i definitely have so...

polar nexus
# little thicket The main problem will now be finding anything beyond that game
little thicket
fading vale
#

watching solos was a similar thing in helldivers it's just running away, using a bubble shield, etc

#

it's not really playing the game

ashen pecan
#

kiting simulator, just boring tbh

delicate shadow
#

Josho spent a good while trying to do 100% pacifist runs lol

little thicket
#

Really ogryn being the best means that ogryn suits your prefered game-playstyle the best.

fading vale
#

no ogryn is actually blatantly OP and I hate it

#

they get like 90% DR for free

polar nexus
#

everything is bigger with ogryns

ashen pecan
#

pretty sure ogryn is the strongest archetype because of fnp, you can make a billion mistakes and who cares

polar nexus
#

even the balls

#

i mean the nades

ashen pecan
#

crusher overhead? yeah it did like 10hp

#

burster? didn't break my toughness 0 corruption dmg

fading vale
#

and every heavy swing is 25% toughness regen so like

#

you can't die

#

unless you get disabled

ashen pecan
#

some of ogryn weapons are incredibly overtuned too

delicate shadow
#

Ogryn shovels 1 shotting multiple crushers DrillW

ashen pecan
#

not to say this isn't untrue of zealot

fading vale
#

you can abuse marty survivability hard

#

or crit CDR

ashen pecan
#

you can reach similar levels of dr with martyr since it's additive

fading vale
#

but outside of that on zealot I would say not OP

delicate shadow
#

god every time someone says Martyrdom is a "high risk, high reward" thing I throw up in my mouth a little

#

it could not be lower risk

fading vale
#

you don't even need fnp on ogryn to have insane survivability

ashen pecan
#

yeah but fnp is the nail in the coffin

fading vale
#

you get 66% TDR literally for free

ashen pecan
#

it's basically godmode

fading vale
#

for 0 investment

ashen pecan
#

excuse u 1 point investment

little thicket
ashen pecan
#

reckon ogryn tree needs just more points in general

fading vale
#

it's the minor nodes plus fnp or whatever, I don't know exactly

little thicket
#

Because the basepoimt with 30% toughness dr, feel no pain would be 71%

fading vale
#

they have a base of 36% TDR

#

from being an ogryn

little thicket
#

Im aware

fading vale
#

so 66% with minor nodes

little thicket
#

The 36 is multiplicative

#

The rest are additive

delicate shadow
#

they really do need to just make all DR multiplicative

#

the additive stacking is silly

ashen pecan
#

idc about ogryns not dying

fading vale
#

I forget who but I was corrected by some ogryn saying 91% was the DR with fnp and I don't know if they included bleed

ashen pecan
#

they have fucking insane damage too

little thicket
#

Agreed if nothing else for how much i hate how stupid it is to have arbitiary differnences

fading vale
#

perhaps it was puri

#

which while I don't trust a lot of things he says

#

he is usually correct about stats

#

@calm salmon

#

probably asleep

little thicket
#

This says which ones are additive DR, which ones are multiplicative

fading vale
#

I know all the minor nodes are additive and usually everything else is multi

little thicket
#

The math would be 1-((1-0.25-0.1-0.1-0.1)*(1-0.36)) with 3 10% toughness damage reduction and fnp

#

Thats 71%

sterile basalt
#

Additive DR are only stacking with itself like 5% toughness dmg reduction travel nodes

fading vale
#

even if it's 71 that's still bonkers

#

ogryns out here tanking sniper shots without a care in the world

#

doesn't even go through their toughness

ashen pecan
#

might need curios for no dmg through toughness

fading vale
#

not sure how many

ashen pecan
#

the td multiplier on sniper shots is insane

fading vale
#

but I know josho just walks through snipers

#

they do 1250 toughness damage, or was it 1225

#

and to be able to tank that is something that should never exist

#

not to mention how quickly you can regen toughness

polar nexus
#

I mean... Shout over shield...

fading vale
#

well

#

overshield is it's own discussion

#

perhaps it could reduce bleed through

#

instead of being immune

sterile basalt
ashen pecan
#

i swear vet has insane tdr

sterile basalt
#

Veteran TDR is stringed by close order/exhilarating takedown and iron will

fading vale
#

yeah vet has good TDR

#

Iron will is quite strong

sterile basalt
#

The moment u lose iron will you start running into problems

#

That’s the caveat to it

ashen pecan
#

no that's when u press shout

polar nexus
#

I remember when nobody was taking iron will

delicate shadow
#

Vet is pretty unkillable

polar nexus
#

I was like. Guys you have no idea what's Dr

little thicket
#

I dont hold grudges against veteran in general as a class to much right now

fading vale
#

look what happened with old vet when they had perma 75% TDR, you could literally just crab walk through the game and take 0 damage

little thicket
#

Atleast in the skill tree

sterile basalt
#

Vet with a toughness refill ability + iron will is a lot more durable but if u take smth like exe stance you’re much more vulnerable

little thicket
#

Plasma might be abit bonkers in what it does.

#

Colomnus is just colomnus

fading vale
#

do vets still have uh, what was it, toughness on elite kill

little thicket
#

Yes

bitter anvil
#

And commando style with sustained fire

sterile basalt
#

You get 20% over 10s but the immediate gain is 10%

fading vale
#

and is it still a stacking buff

sterile basalt
#

Stacks 6 times

fading vale
#

yeah that's still ridiculous

little thicket
#

Veteran has more gated toughness regen then other classes

#

So their sources tend to be better then other classes

fading vale
#

everything is a bit overtuned

little thicket
#

Ex psyker has easy ones at the top

bitter anvil
#

Psyker get ability refresh fast on elite or special kill

#

And aura too

fading vale
#

second wind is too strong but it's like, what else are you gonna take

sterile basalt
#

Psyker has almost no cooldown

fading vale
#

Marty with BFTE and restoring faith, might as well turn the game off

sterile basalt
#

6 warp charges + psykinetic’s aura + seer’s presence

#

You can have -85% ability cooldown

little thicket
#

Hypothetically

sterile basalt
#

Without any curio stuff

fading vale
#

crit CDR oh wow I can chastise every 2 seconds

little thicket
#

Hard to maintain that many stacks while spamming nonstop

sterile basalt
#

Yea practically it’s closer to smth like 50% less cooldown

little thicket
#

Balance wise im mostly personally ok with where psyker is right now

#

Its an actual glass cannon

fading vale
#

except for void, trauma, and ds4

#

and soulblaze

little thicket
#

A glass cannon needs to have its cannon

#

Otherwise its just glass

fading vale
#

decent psykers are not glass

little thicket
#

No but thats the part of being decent

fading vale
#

sure pubs can melt to 2 bruisers but

#

oh also assail

little thicket
#

And being decent wont change the fact that a misstep as psyker is going to be a down pretty often

polar nexus
#

I think zealot has a bit too much toughness on command

south folio
#

being glass doesn't matter when you have an absurd amount of CC as psyker

#

and when your class has a bunch of options to avoid going into melee

polar nexus
#

They should either nerf second wind or remove the tg from chastise

#

It's like a do it all

fading vale
#

reduction

little thicket
polar nexus
#

Hmm, ok. I'll accept that

fading vale
#

they should also nerf second wind

south folio
#

15% toughness on a 0.5s icd OwO

polar nexus
#

7.5%

south folio
#

yeah 7.5% or 5%

polar nexus
#

Or a longer cooldown

fading vale
#

vicious isn't a super compelling toughness generator

#

but it's not bad

polar nexus
#

I purposely take Crit CDR instead

sterile basalt
#

Vicious offering is weapon dependent

fading vale
#

just nobody wants to go stuns anymore

sterile basalt
#

It’s very cracked with a few weapons and not that great on some other weapons

polar nexus
sterile basalt
little thicket
#

Throwing knives are actually extremely op

#

Id rate them as the best blitz in the game

fading vale
#

I don't really get the throwing knife love outside of 1 shotting ragers

polar nexus
#

They should lower the count

ashen pecan
#

i think op is a reach

little thicket
#

Literary just kills every special without ever pulling out a ranged weapon

ashen pecan
#

they're aight

sterile basalt
#

Veteran has a ton of options to fight crushers, plasma isn’t even in the upper tier picks for it unless it’s scab melee maelstrom

fading vale
#

vets damage is way overtuned

polar nexus
south folio
#

i don't consider them OP but they supplement builds with bolter/flamer and are an option that can be generated for free

sterile basalt
south folio
#

also 12 knives is way too much

#

cut that shit down to 6 for starters

fading vale
#

a vet could pick nearly any weapon and obliterate almost anything with it

polar nexus
fading vale
#

cause the weakspot and crit scaling

sterile basalt
little thicket
#

Well 1 throwing knife is enough to kill any special, they can even be used to kill crushers with uncanny

fading vale
#

and the base damage buff

little thicket
#

They also are good vs ragers if getting overwhelmed

fading vale
#

but I guess you don't even need to run exe on anything anymore

little thicket
#

Its an incredibly versatile blitz ability.

south folio
#

yeah knives are stronger than they should be

#

but not OP

little thicket
#

I know atleast when im not playing zealot its among the parts i miss the most as other classes.

#

Espically as psyker

#

Screw the psykers blitz abilities

fading vale
#

how much damage do vets get from the tree now, genuinely have no clue, but every vet clip and what not I see they just do an ungodly amount

south folio
#

though psyker isn't missing out on reactivity or making things safe for a period of time to snipe specials

#

unless you're just referring to having any dedicated single-target option that requires some modicum of precision

sterile basalt
#

These are the major ones

south folio
#

rather than the stupidly braindead weapons that psyker has

little thicket
#

I think psyker blitz abillties in their current state suck

south folio
#

in terms of balance, i consider smite and assail too strong

sterile basalt
south folio
#

but smite is strong in a boring way and assail's shard count is too high

sterile basalt
#

You can’t pick all of them

little thicket
#

I dont even think assail is that good

#

Going that route losses out on psykinetics aura

polar nexus
#

i like knives but maybe the knives economy should be rethink\

little thicket
#

Powering up assail to its full potenial is a heavy point investment

south folio
#

not particularly

nimble fiber
south folio
#

you don't have to go out of your way to make assail strong

fading vale
#

so I assume you can get elite, ogryn/boss, the 2 ranged nodes, and weakspot, and maybe longshot

polar nexus
#

assail + dd good

fading vale
#

with deadshot?

south folio
#

there's no sideways pathing that you have to go to make assail strong

sterile basalt
ember yew
south folio
#

DD/EP are cheaper than warp charges, and perfect timing/malefic momentum is down the right side

ember yew
#

basically 50% rending

fading vale
#

well you don't run deadshot on certain weapons sure

ember yew
#

for various spammy guns

sterile basalt
#

It has very small gains on ADM against anything that’s not a crusher

little thicket
#

EP is 3 points and the subtalents are 2 points

south folio
#

is the comparison keystoneless

little thicket
#

Any point investment into a blitz abillty will take away fron the rest of the build

south folio
#

sure and i don't like EP either, so i just run DD

fading vale
#

but also a lot of the clips I see are exe vets cause nobody needs shout, it's just a failsafe for pubs and what not

south folio
#

DD still benefits your other weapons

little thicket
#

DD is strong

#

Better then EP

south folio
#

and you're not going out of your way to go for DD

little thicket
#

EP is a trap keystone

south folio
#

(though you aren't going out of your way to get EP since warp rider is practically a must pick)

#

in terms of strength, i don't consider it a trap keystone for assail

sterile basalt
south folio
#

it's just really fucking boring as well

little thicket
#

I dont believe assail spam is a particularly amazing build on psyker.

fading vale
#

TLDR when is fatshark going to do a global rebalance and how mad will people be

little thicket
#

Its good but not among my top 3

sterile basalt
south folio
#

sure and i'm not here to declare it as one of the best

#

just that it's still good among the options that you have

#

and that the difference between taking EP and DD isn't that wide

sterile basalt
#

Prob smaller scale balance changes at most

fading vale
#

if fatshark decides they want this to be an arcade game then sure I guess but they need to decide, cause it's not an arcade game

south folio
#

prob just afraid to piss off the community at this point with nerfs

#

and frankly, i'd be at a crossroads on how i'd approach a balance change with a community like this

fading vale
#

bunch of pearl clutchers

south folio
#

in their position, i'd probably just say fuck it and give crushers 6k hp because this community doesn't deserve crushers with less hp

ember yew
sterile basalt
#

Like, u can list every broken thing on all 4 classes rn

#

But the truth is the avg damnation QP player has no idea what you’re even talking abt

ember yew
little thicket
#

Colomnus, colomnus, colomnus

ember yew
south folio
ember yew
#

do it

fading vale
little thicket
#

Colomnus manageing to become meta on every class its on

sterile basalt
#

And you can’t rly compare what’s broken on 1 class with another and complain the other class is “overtuned” because all 4 classes have those issues

#

Nerfing all 4 at the same time will just feel bad

fading vale
#

well they can't nerf without reworking enemies

ember yew
#

if they buff the rewards like 50%, it would be ok

fading vale
#

because the difficulty level right now is spam as much bullshit as possible

sterile basalt
#

U can say plasma vet and blaze trauma are broken but I can also say martyrdom Rashad +50% melee atk speed is also broken and both of us would be right

south folio
#

i suppose one of the approaches is to have a small balance change update in incremental patches and just write a manifesto describing the intended balance change and the end goal instead of leaving any room for speculation
just to placate the "small changes only" people

fading vale
#

BM should be deleted of course

#

Rashad is egregious

#

as is hsword

ember yew
#

i hope they wont go with ninja changes (nerfs), tho i dont really remember FS doing that

#

in 6+ years

little thicket
#

Its a waste of time to do that

#

The community will find out anyways

south folio
#

and it'd prob be worse in terms of reception

#

this community already can't handle minor nerfs that were outlined in the patch notes

little thicket
#

Everything is far too documented

sterile basalt
#

Nerf it from 4 to 3 target maybe

fading vale
#

3 is still dumb

south folio
#

should be 2

sterile basalt
#

If nerf to 2, should buff base cleave of axes

south folio
#

it'd still be an obvious pick with 3
it needs to be 2 for me to ever consider picking the other melee weapons (besides the other ridiculously strong options)

#

and to put it in line with the other blessings

south folio
#

so sad

#

voidstrike dead

#

assail dead

#

shot in their gravestones

ember yew
#

they will still receive the backlash in the form "IVE SPENT HALF OF MY LIVE ROLLING THIS RASHAD AND IT GOT YESTERDAY,WTF FS" and it will be pretty close to truth

#

so it's still a negative element sadly

south folio
#

yeah there's that aspect of the crafting system which is understandable

fading vale
#

they need a system to prevent weapon bricking when they make changes to blessings or something (outside of reworking crafting)

ember yew
#

and bm nerfs will affect heavy sword, which probably has more fans than rashad

#

at least HS can use rampage

south folio
#

good thing the heavy sword doesn't have other blessings that could still fill in that gap

#

or that the hsword isn't good at its base

fading vale
#

hsword is still great without deathblow

#

I mean they made it have inherent BM on heavies for 2 targets

#

it would still be one of the strongest weapons

#

not BM exactly cause it doesn't require a kill but whatever

south folio
#

i will commit great acts of violence against the kneecaps of anyone who will come into this chat to say that hsword is ruined if BM finally gets shot out the back

fading vale
#

I will stand with you

#

for democracy

sterile basalt
#

Heavy sword doesn’t even need BM to function properly

frozen glen
#

hsword was ruined pre patch 13 cuz it didnt have deathblow

#

😎

sterile basalt
#

Scourge + invocation + blazing piety already hard carries it

little thicket
#

I think the real dynamic here is going to straight up be a conflict of interest. People with 100 hours wont have the same opinion of the game as people with 1000.

sterile basalt
#

Deathblow just elevates it from “this is broken” to “I never thought it could be this broken”

fading vale
#

crit isn't really the most recommended thing for hsword

#

it's marty

sterile basalt
#

Both play fine

ember yew

south folio
#

i suppose we'll just spam clips of stuff being stupidly strong

fading vale
#

it's just strong enough that it doesn't really matter

little thicket
#

Recon omega op

#

Truzz me

#

Ah the beauties of veteran chat

fading vale
#

plus so many people would drop crit if crit CDR wasn't absolutely broken

#

not to mention 50% TDR

south folio
#

prob quite a few people who don't realize that crit dmg multipliers fall off the first initial targets for the overwhelming majority of melees though

#

swoosh noise goes brrr

fading vale
#

and don't forget permanent 75% crit chance cause why not have super inflated numbers

sterile basalt
#

Plasma nerf uncharged cleave & ammo usage, buff charged ammo usage
BM/DB nerf to 2 targets, buff combat axe base cleave to 3 (achlys heavy 4 cleave)
VoC cooldown nerf to 40s, tac awareness nerf to 5s
Survivalist nerf to only work for melee elite/special kills
Blaze trauma idk where to even start
Ogryn nerf TDR
Zealot crit CDR nerf to have a limit of max 4 proc per swing

drowsy steppe
#

no damage fall off on the first 4 targets baby

sterile basalt
#

Smth like those

fading vale
#

4 per swing is still silly for CDR, 6 seconds per swing on 30s cooldown ability

south folio
#

the base aspects of trauma themselves need some handicapping

#

kneecap that shit

sterile basalt
#

Not a fan of hard nerf in 1 go

south folio
#

i am because this game doesn't need that much CDR and especially for 1 talent pick

ember yew
fading vale
#

maybe they could make chastise not proc crit CDR if they still want to make it cleave

sterile basalt
little thicket
#

I would straight up remove swift certainty from the game

sterile basalt
little thicket
#

Swift certainty is a massively problematic talent in what it does to the MS speed of zealots.

fading vale
#

I mean it's just a movespeed node

ember yew
#

it makes idiots die faster (or captured)

#

i like that node

south folio
#

i hate kiting in this game so i'm fine with annhilating all movespeed stuff

little thicket
#

Ye ontop of a class that already has 2 5% nodes and a base 4% movement speed

south folio
#

and stuff like knife/laspistol

sterile basalt
south folio
#

absolutely

#

why does a good toughness regen talent also have a movespeed buff tied to it

mettle has no ICD, so you can also just proc it on all enemies with trauma

Ye but it’s reliant on actually scoring damage, attacking

Gunker alarm

little thicket
#

Swift certainty meanwhile is passive

south folio
#

so you can spam that shit with trauma and get toughness for free in a wide area

#

sure but crits themselves are just probablistic and there's no real engagement with crits besides true aim

little thicket
#

Plus psyker genuinely just lacks alot of speed buffs outside mettle, scriers gaze.

#

And those are very temporary effects

south folio
#

though with mettle, you're getting the movespeed where it really matters, when enemies are around

bitter anvil

I run wannabe zealot psyker with mettle

Put uncanny instead of mercy killer, it will help

cursive crypt
#

no haymaker is terriblke

polar nexus
#

And maniac / elite / flak / unyielding instead of Crit chance

polar nexus
#

It's better on 6 tbh

#

It's from Melk.... Hmm maybe don't buy it if you don't have enough funds or any blessing to customize it

cursive crypt
#

also crit chance is not bad

polar nexus
#

Wait. It's not haymaker that was fixed but the power on weakspot hit

polar nexus
#

Knife doesn't need crit chance considered the base Crit and that you'll probably use it in a Crit build

#

Mercy killer is not that good. You need the target to bleed for it to proce. So in the end that mean everything you won't 1 or 2 shot

cursive crypt
#

in that sense yeah, but if you wanna run it with Inexorable Judgement it makes a noticable difference, it's more situational, for a more general purpous one I agree

polar nexus
#

Uncanny + riposte / precog or even flesh tearer has more value

polar nexus
cursive crypt
#

uncanny is mostly unneeded, since most things you attack wont be hit more than 3 or 4 times, there isnt many breakpoints you beat with it

polar nexus
#

And your crit average will be quite good.

#

What???!!

cursive crypt
#

what breakpoints do you get?

polar nexus
#

Do you realize that uncanny will just make the armor totally a non thing?

#

Like that's how you will 2 to 3 shot a crusher?

cursive crypt
#

I already do that

and it's a buff that stays on the player, not a debuff, so it's like staying permanently as you fight in melee

in the worst case scenario, uncanny strike is a +25% damage buff against flak/unyielding/maniac/carapace

#

with crits its barely a notice

polar nexus
#

@fading vale 😦

south folio
#

it's moreso that you get to rack up more damage

#

having another source of a damage increase does not quite make another source of damage increase redundant

ember yew
#

basically its strongest damage boost you can get that does not require much effort to maintain

cursive crypt
#

it does if you have to choose between them

south folio
#

what blessings are you taking in its place?

cursive crypt
#

mercykiller fleshtearer

polar nexus
#

If it's precog riposte I can respect that

cursive crypt
#

with crits it just kills everything

south folio
#

i'll then argue that rending will also buff bleed up

ivory marlin
#

Good morning zealot chat

south folio

in addition, the weakspot damage contributed by mercy killer will be of a similar value to the damage given by uncanny strike

one of my favorite songs from them I think

south folio
#

the damage boost provided by uncanny strike

#

in addition, the existence of scourge means that you don't need to take a bleed blessing to proc mercy killer

cursive crypt
# south folio lemme check the math

did casual testing with 2 daggers one with mercykiller and fleshtearer, one with uncanny, with max everything there is 1 hit difference to kill a crusher, so that is an actual breakpoint, assuming you have everything going that is,

south folio
#

also that math is making me consider taking precog over uncanny strike

#

since you can get up to 95% crit chance anyways with some other crit blessing

#

hmm

#

much to think about the numbers

#

though i'll be really sad if i get a smite psyker

#

if only precog was +weakspot and +crit damage separately so that i could get +220% crit weakspot damage

#

this is so sad

#

i'll have to content myself with +160% crit weakspot damage

polar nexus
#

Assuming duellist?

south folio
#

ye

#

oh wait fuck the relative value from precog is going to be diminished because of duellist

#

egads

cursive crypt
sly mauve
#

i thought finesse dmg bad

south folio
#

stuff like +weakspot and +crit damage perks are bad because the calculation is not what you expect AND the value is low

#

e.g., both give +10% at t4

#

however, perks and blessings like duellist and precognition give that shit out on the scale of +50% and +60%

#

in addition, +crit and +weakspot damage combine on a crit weakspot hit

#

If you have +50% critical damage and +50% weakspot damage, that also translates into +100% crit weakspot damage

sly mauve
#

nice

#

yet uncanny is too gud to give up given the fact it helps vs flak and esp carapace, even unyielding. boosts bleed dmg etc
