ripe quest
#

No because it has good finesse, high cleave, and hits fast. Also has absurd cleave profiles.

pale spindle
#

chainsword is pretty insane for a heavy weapon when it comes to crits tho

pale spindle
#

imagine if chain weapons crit with every chain hit

#

holy fuck

#

everyone would run the axe again 💀

#

LA LA LA LA

rocky marsh
#

^ this would be me

pale spindle
#

comboing?

#

"cc chanings"?

#

what's that?

#

just light attack 4HEAD

rocky marsh
#

there is no more W key

#

only F key

#

no more WASD, no more slide

pale spindle
#

me downloading a left click auto clicker macro while playing zealot

red pollen
pale spindle
#

tbh thats already the average loner zealot with knife 💀

rocky marsh
#

tech?

#

what chastise tech

ember yew
#

probably means popping chastice after revved special do its initial hit for 100% crit sequence

red pollen
#

After your chain weapon connects you use chastise so the impact doesn’t get the crit and damage, the revv does

#

That’s how a chainsword with no buffs can one shot a crusher

red pollen
rocky marsh
#

imagine next patch they make bulwark shield breakable

pale spindle
#

i'm not sure if I should drop backstab for enduring faith tho

#

do I want more cooldown for book or more damage reduction?

#

đŸ€”

rocky marsh
pale spindle
#

what's wrong with top left?

rocky marsh
#

top right better :v, heck you can even run top middle for immo nade
top left usually for martyr

pale spindle
#

the very top right yeah i agree, but grenades and aura?

red pollen
rocky marsh
red pollen
#

The first talent resets every other attack because the attack that benefits from it doesn’t refresh it, enemies within enemies without is borderline useless or completely useless, reducing damage on next wound is purely ret4rded, there is nothing good on the left side

pale spindle
#

stun grenade > immolate

red pollen
#

It’s noob trap city

pale spindle
#

also i need to stay on the left side to preserve nodes and keep the reduction aura

rocky marsh
pale spindle
#

prob with immolate is it does no damage to armored enemies

rocky marsh
pale spindle
#

i understand that the inidivual nodes are better, but loner is useless in this build

pale spindle
#

thats what I want

#

immolate does nothing

red pollen
#

So many ways to generate toughness as zealot especially when you’re talking about cooldown reduction

pale spindle
#

also stun nades CC ragers

red pollen
#

Loner is useless in every single way

pale spindle
#

indeed I hate the zealot tree because of this

red pollen
#

If you’re unable to avoid a couple extra disablers you shouldn’t be playing loner style anyway, and the 2 coherency does virtually nothing for toughness generation

pale spindle
#

the only reason u take loner is if you are going full knife zealot stealth, and it isn't because it's "better" it's just because u will never be with your team anyways 💀

rocky marsh
pale spindle
#

but why?

south folio
#

it's not like the auras are particularly impactful so it is what it is

pale spindle
#

15% damage reduction is 3 curios worth of stats

south folio
#

it's mostly the pathing above that matters

rocky marsh
#

i asked exhil about duelsit for caxe, no threshold change, so i assume same for your taxe.
means duelist useless.

So its really only for the aura

pale spindle
#

i just dont see the benefits after the grenade slot

rocky marsh
#

more points into other stuff
basically i would either do one of these

#

2

pale spindle
#

the only thing that might be good is thy wrath be swift

rocky marsh
#

i still feel the loner one much better

pale spindle
#

bruh why do u keep taking second wind

rocky marsh
#

no logici n wasting so much points just to take TDR aura

pale spindle
#

😔

rocky marsh
#

tbh if you crit alot i would swap holy cause for enduring on the TDR aura build

rocky marsh
pale spindle
#

no it's not u know what 15% is?

#

it's not your total toughness

south folio
#

15% on a 0.5s icd is pretty good

#

yes

#

it is working off of your total toughness

red pollen
#

I run knife zealot to solo missions I assure you I don’t miss loner generating less toughness for me than enemies within enemies without

rocky marsh
#

15% good but everything along the way is wasted

red pollen
rocky marsh
#

thats my opinion

#

@south folio would you path loner or TDR aura in this case

spare dome
#

what's happening here

south folio
#

at least i consider it the best since second wind is just fucking goated

spare dome
#

is this what happens when we leave the discord unsupervised

south folio
#

i always path to TDR because of until death and duellist

red pollen
#

Anyone who suggests Loner is someone you shouldn’t take advice from ever again

pale spindle
#

u know what 50% is?

south folio
#

damn

#

good thing i can take both

#

and i do take both for crit builds

rocky marsh
#

@south folio ?

south folio
#

mf i literally play crit builds do you think i'm shitting i'm enduring faith

#

i'm just saying that second wind is good

rocky marsh
#

i don't think need duelist for taxe, no thresholds broken

south folio
#

that's not disparaging enduring faith at all

spare dome
#

i actually have started dumping enduring faith in some of my builds because your overall toughness generation is so ridiculous and your baked in TDR so good that you dont really super need it

pale spindle
#

that's what I'm being critical

rocky marsh
south folio
#

seems good

pale spindle
#

the previous one

south folio
#

i run chainsword though

#

so i don't need crit dr on backstab and would prefer twbs

#

just for deterministic availability and not potentially getting staggered during a sketchy moment

pale spindle
#

im not going right side for benediction that shit is copium

south folio
#

though i've always been tempted to go down loner

#

just to save points

pale spindle
#

until death prob one of the most useless nodes in the game change my mind

south folio
#

nah

south folio
#

one of the best

spare dome
#

succumb to the darkness

south folio
#

go away you crack addict

rocky marsh
#

what is benediction

south folio
#

the +tdr aura

pale spindle
#

ur then bad at the game and need to learn how to block

#

đŸš¶đŸ»

rocky marsh
south folio
#

until death lets me play stupid which is very nice

spare dome
#

+15% TDR on a Aura is nonsensically good.

south folio
#

i don't want to play passive all the time

#

i want to be able to dive and do stupid shit and live

spare dome
#

you can still do that

#

just dont die

south folio
#

@vocal pulsar kill

pale spindle
#

something that is only useful only 1% of the time versus 99% of the time is objectively worse

south folio
#

sure, but the way that i look at it is that it gives me the leeway to play stupid

spare dome
#

ye

south folio
#

and in that sense, the uptime is much higher

spare dome
#

dont use until death as a safety net

pale spindle
#

so ur admitting u are playing the game poorly?

south folio
#

e.g., I can go out into the open where there's a sniper and not have to worry about dying for 5 seconds

spare dome
#

USE until death to run into insane scenarios and come out on top

south folio
#

sure

#

i admit i don't play optimally

pale spindle
#

2 nodes for a cution is a waste for me

#

i dont want to go down

rocky marsh
#

orcka i have the feeling nobody can change your mind

south folio
#

the left side also has duellist

#

which is the second reason to go down the left side

vocal pulsar
south folio
#

the third reason is that fury of the faithful is on the left side

pale spindle
#

at least dualist has 100% uptime

vocal pulsar
#

Goodbye, arco

rocky marsh
#

its as if, you are looking at "weakness" in the points stated instead of what people are trying to tell you

south folio
#

so i'm taking the tax to go down the left side anyways

#

and also i don't make use of desperation for most builds that don't use the crusher

pale spindle
#

desperation is pretty dogshit

#

but at least it has more uptime than copium

south folio
#

what is this hatred for until death

ember yew
wooden moat
#

Is there any actually good axe for zealot?

ember yew
#

i forgot

spare dome
#

tbh its pretty simple

south folio
#

being able to play stupidly when maulers/crushers/snipers are in the round is p nice
or being able to dive alone and take stupid hit trades without worrying about griefing your team

spare dome
#

any weapon with a good push attack or push attack-centric combo

#

loves desperation

rocky marsh
south folio
#

main problem is that it's p much knife and crusher and whatnot

south folio
#

and for knife, heavy spam is better anyways

spare dome
#

evis II

pale spindle
#

not get hit

#

đŸ€Ż

south folio
#

no

spare dome
#

taxes, too

red pollen
#

This chat is killing me with people suggesting loner you must not know what it does

spare dome
#

you just gotta trigger it once every five seconds, so

pale spindle
#

only reason u should be getting hit as zealot is by gunners tbh

south folio
#

i prefer to play aggressive and hit trade as much as possible

red pollen
#

The fact that loner is an aura, means that giving yourself coherency does nothing, because you don’t have an aura to share with yourself.

spare dome
#

but also the game is so stupid generous with regenerated stamina on taking a hit that it can actually be a pain in the ass to empty your stamina bar sometimes lmao

south folio
#

i dislike losing DPS by playing defensively if possible

red pollen
#

The real use is to reduce the number of disablers that target you

pale spindle
#

in melle u should have no problems unless u literally can't move

south folio
#

i play brainlessly so i get overheaded occasionally

rocky marsh
red pollen
#

And if you can’t dodge disablers you shouldn’t be playing a liner style to begin with

spare dome
#

"nooooo my weapon isnt doing maximal optimum damage whyyy"
scab gunner who cant kill me: "hahaha machine gun make stamina bar go brrr"

south folio
#

i play with exactly 1 braincell

drifting wolf
#

relatable

south folio
red pollen
maiden path
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

definitely a rumour

red pollen
spare dome
#

and i will keep perppetuating it

pale spindle
#

ok so just admit u r bad and move on, I'm not asking people to play perfect on damnation maelstrom but that doesn't change the fact that until death is useless if you just learn to position slightly better

rocky marsh
#

i would run loner soley because of cheaper build

spare dome
#

because the idea of people using it and immediatley getting hit by specialists is funny to me

south folio
#

move on from what

south folio
#

i'm just saying that i like until death

south folio
#

and that you're going left and that desperation is not getting used in a lot of builds

rocky marsh
#

i mean, if you are going tdr aura, and duelist does not change thresholds....

#

???

south folio
#

and being able to avoid difficulty spike scenarios where you go down from the occasional overhead/sniper shot is p nice

maiden path
#

mods fish suck his head

spare dome
#

this is my taxe build. but that's a lie because this is really just 95% of zealot builds. you may not like it, but this is peak zealot performance.

#

(with like maybe three nodes you can swap around)

pale spindle
#

I honestly hate how the best ability on the Zealot tree is on the right side

spare dome
#

invis is ok

pale spindle
#

It makes me soo sad

south folio
#

e.g., saving one point by not taking the until death line is not going to get me anything particularly impactful besidees Disdain which doesn't work quite well

spare dome
#

i just find it way more fun with a knife

pale spindle
#

The position is horrific true

spare dome
#

eh

#

arguably VoC is the best ability in the game

pale spindle
#

But in isolation yeah it's better than everything else

obtuse stirrup
#

It's not even the best on Zealot lol

south folio
#

it'd be the best on zealot if fury didn't exist

rocky marsh
#

my build atm

spare dome
#

thats caxes tho

obtuse stirrup
#

Double charge Fury is busted

pale spindle
#

Yes it is. With cooldown reduction u literally can reset fights every 5 seconds and regen tough

spare dome
#

it def changes for taxes

rocky marsh
south folio
#

21m dash, +25% attack speed for 10 seconds, armour downgrade for 3 seconds

rocky marsh
#

sorry

spare dome
#

but it also depends if we're talking lights or heavies

pale spindle
#

You literally become unkillable because u just reset agro

spare dome
#

50% toughness regen'd

brave summit
#

If you are running throwing knives. What ranged weapon do you use?

spare dome
#

bolber

south folio
#

i like to run bolter/flamer

rocky marsh
south folio
#

cuz it just opens those weapons up and patches their weaknesses

spare dome
#

the only thing taxe cant handle is crushers

#

so u apply bolber

#

to the forehead

south folio
#

bolber

rocky marsh
#

how does boltgun become

#

bolber.

south folio
#

flaber

spare dome
#

cuz bolber

south folio
#

cuz exploits

rocky marsh
#

i sense

#

stan wiki going to come soon.

#

mr dough

spare dome
#

and ya invis takes a big hit by being under loner

rocky marsh
#

exploit why you run taxe instead of caxe

spare dome
#

loner is so bad, it's hilarious

#

because i got bored of caxes roughly 1,800hrs ago

#

it's one moveset for both axes repeating

#

and achlys is a fun joke but thats it

rocky marsh
spare dome
#

dont u fkn DARE

#

talk shit about my purity bacon

rocky marsh
#

;)

#

oh no mah corruption

#

thank kew UwU removed eet

spare dome
#

purity is so damn legit

#

too bad the nodes above it are 4/5 questionable AF

ripe quest
nimble fiber
red pollen
#

Imagine loner just reads exactly what it does. “After taking damage, wait 3 seconds then begin generating 1% toughness per second” and you chose that over a flat 20% toughness damage reduction or cleansing corruption

spare dome
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

if someone's packing loner they are either intensely dumb and mislead, or they know they're good enough to completely forfeit the other auras

#

either way you're about to witness some shit

rocky marsh
#

in a5histg its not like you always get revived anyway

red pollen
#

Nurgle fights 1v1

rocky marsh
#

but but thats so

#

luck :v

#

what if no nurge

#

:V

spare dome
#

Corruption is quite a few things

red pollen
#

Then take toughness damage reduction aura

spare dome
#

Poxwalkers, Bursters, Hounds, Trapper net, Plague Ogryn swipe, CSpawn monch, everything that is the Beast of Nurgle

royal ridge
#

quick question is there any way to change an operative's voice

pale spindle
#

usually when I do furry build it's this:

spare dome
#

sadly no once you pick a voice that's it

vocal pulsar
#

furry

royal ridge
#

fuck

red pollen
#

I run crits with shroudfield and zig zag the talent tree because not a noob eating every noob trap

pale spindle
#

😄

pale spindle
#

purity>loner

spare dome
#

ye it's about da points

pale spindle
#

at LEAST purity is useful for books

spare dome
rocky marsh
#

if i go top right, i need to spend extra 2 just to go TDR aura, not good

spare dome
#

thats how i do stabby

#

and i have to take loner

#

or else im missing out on way too much in the top/bottom half

rocky marsh
#

i wanted to get immo nade on my caxe judgement build so i did this, i haven't try it yet tho :v

spare dome
#

i forget nades are even a thing for zealot

rocky marsh
#

annoying when i feel scared of crusher + bulwark

pale spindle
#

me wanting to have a benediction + shroudfield build and have like 50+ damage reduction while also being invisible:

#

1st world problems 😔

rocky marsh
#

thats just called greed

pale spindle
#

pls fatshark just change loner

obtuse stirrup
#

I'll have to try a knife pervert build without Loner

rocky marsh
#

i feel loner is a punishment

obtuse stirrup
#

I apparently have been overrating it

rocky marsh
#

have to set you back somehow for going right side

#

for savin points

fossil crag
#

This is how i set up my zealot, i know UD and HR are not good but i just have those so i can play stupid the whole run and rush forward, if it ever gets proc i go back and chill with my teamates until its back and then i can go stupid shyt again

obtuse stirrup
#

I thought it also affected your toughness regeneration from melee kills

pale spindle
#

knife is just the best weapon in all classes change my mind đŸ§đŸ»

obtuse stirrup
#

I guess not lmao

#

When you're good with it, it's fucking fantastic

#

One of the harder ones to get good with though

pale spindle
#

is retribution's stance actually useful?

fossil crag
#

its giga useless but i like to have it so i can rush forward

obtuse stirrup
pale spindle
#

the bottom left of Judgement

spare dome
#

'can be' is the answer

obtuse stirrup
#

I forget what it even does

spare dome
#

'often not' is also the answer

obtuse stirrup
#

I just take Inebriate's and forget the other exists

pale spindle
#

every stack of momentum u consume gives u 2% toughness

#

so lets say u get 20 stacks, u get 40% back after you attack something

obtuse stirrup
#

Eh, Zealot toughness regeneration is kinda shit imo so more sources isn't bad, but it triggers very infrequently and the first trigger is usually wasted

spare dome
#

you gotta see it in practice

pale spindle
#

i think itsaa decent IF mommentum resets faster

spare dome
#

and it's not even just the first trigger

pale spindle
#

but it doesn't so

red pollen
pale spindle
#

💀

obtuse stirrup
#

Would rather just get more Fury of the faithfuls

spare talon
pale spindle
#

yes

spare talon
#

It requires you to have missing toughness the moment you trigger it

pale spindle
#

if it did every time u get a stack that would be different

spare talon
#

Which is once every 8(?) seconds

fossil crag
pale spindle
fossil crag
fossil crag
pale spindle
#

how useful is faithful frenzy tho?

#

it's half of furry

spare dome
#

hard to say specifically

red pollen
spare talon
#

Knife and heavy weapons are the main ones that benefit from backstab

spare dome
#

but static 10% attack speed is very strong

spare talon
spare dome
#

attack speed is one of those stats that you should be gobbling up wherever you can find it

pale spindle
#

because I have one node left in the furry build, either put it into faithful frenzy or good balance

fossil crag
pale spindle
spare talon
pale spindle
#

in the book build I think it has more value

#

more attacks = more chances to crit

#

more crits = lower cooldown

spare talon
#

So at a certain point, the value from more attack speed isn't worth the point cost over other stuff

pale spindle
#

but for furry im not soo sure

spare dome
#

hypothetically yes but i dont believe we ever reach such a breakpoint in DarkTide

pale spindle
#

there are other nodes like swift certanty

spare talon
#

Swift certainty honestly isn't really that great

spare dome
#

take it for speeeeeed

red pollen
#

It’s just unbelievably great

pale spindle
#

this is my new book build:

spare dome
#

gotta take something for momentum anyway

pale spindle
#

maybe this is better?

#

again im using a tac axe

spare talon
#

It's literally just a 10% sprint boost which is basically for knife only
The other half of the perk is borderline useless

red pollen
red pollen
pale spindle
#

replace them with what?

rocky marsh
spare talon
spare dome
#

and you can already do that without SC

#

just not with an empty stamina bar

spare talon
#

Guess what doesn't have to be at an angle and also allows you to attack when doing ig

#

Sliding

spare dome
#

seriously it's really just for the sprint speed

red pollen
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

but it is 10% compounding with your other move speed bonuses

#

so it's a pretty potent bonus

south folio
#

you cana lready do that as long as you have stamina and the ranged attack is perpendicular to you

pale spindle
#

yes i like it allow on furry, but with the book build you are forced to lean to the left side

south folio
#

and you regenerate 1 bar of stamina on getting hit when below 50% stamina

#

so stamina isn't an issue when ranged enemies are in play

rocky marsh
fossil crag
#

at the end of heavy

#

and it save stamina or something

south folio
#

it's a speed boost but doesn't do anything special besides that

pale spindle
#

is thy wrath actually good?

#

the not being able to be stunned what does that mean?

#

like the block animation?

#

or any hit

ember yew
fossil crag
#

it has a bug where it doesnt stun you with shooters

south folio
#

melee hit or ranged attack to health/while sprinting

rocky marsh
fossil crag
#

not really sure where i heard that but i have heard that somewhere

south folio
#

TWBS is pretty good for deterministic availability

rocky marsh
#

i found it annoying when i want to heavy crushers and then zombies hit me, then no more heavy

south folio
#

since i dislike being staggered when i need to dodge a trapper/crusher/sniper/etc.

red pollen
#

That’s my 9 minute hab dreyko build

rocky marsh
#

i thought you knew - as in that was the reason why your original build didn't have twbs @pale spindle

pale spindle
red pollen
#

My brain just broke what is judgment again

south folio
#

momentum

pale spindle
red pollen
#

Oh right I take it to spam cooldown with bleed knife so I can stealth endlessly and scan everything and the speed boost from stealth works fine as is, fast enough to beat storm raptor to the exfil and run past the bridge before it explodes

pale spindle
#

oh wait i forgot u cant take invocation 😔

#

if u go onto the right

south folio
#

crits also turn out to be quite good for knife cuz of its multipliers and another deranged reason

pale spindle
#

but what about backstab cooldown?

#

like both?

red pollen
#

I’m not interested in killing fast, the bleed stacks will kill everything so I just slice and keep moving

pale spindle
#

like this

red pollen
#

Not even bothering to get behind enemies half the time, just faster

#

I like the 25% crit chance and have bleed on crits for the knife, bleeding enemies give more crit, it gets crazy. It’s a red swing every single time just running like a blood hurricane through everything on screen while going zen master to scan in peace whenever I want to catch a breath

pale spindle
#

also if u take..... loner đŸ€ą

#

u have a lot more points to use

#

but then again

#

loner đŸ€ą

red pollen
#

I like momentum when I run crusher but I been using martyrdom crusher later for fun because it sucks and it’s a flex

brave summit
pale spindle
#

im a professional kink shamer

#

im gonna CW it so u can be prepared

red pollen
red pollen
pale spindle
#

what about good balance?

red pollen
#

I run a stamina curio and have stamina regen on all curios so even the knife can block endlessly

#

Not to mention running more than Forrest Gump without breaking a sweat

pale spindle
#

is purge the unclean that valuable?

red pollen
#

I like it when I run boltgun

pale spindle
#

because wouldn't it be better to put the points onto faithful and sustained?

red pollen
#

Two magazines to kill any monster

spare talon
# red pollen Yeah just lets you sprint across an open area to close the gab without butt scoo...

In higher difficulties you will typically have the stamina to do that regardless due to how short downtime between melee engagements are, since swift certainty only gives you that when you're out of stamina, and even when that does happen, like I said sliding does the exact same thing, so you're not gaining anything new that you can do
If it's just a travel node to momentum, the 20% backstab ends up being more useful cuz it procs way more often than you think regardless of weapon, which is an actual new benefit
Sorry im at work at a register so my response time is slower than fatsharks update schedule lol

red pollen
#

Can probably ditch it on this build but I made it on the fly and it’s worked absolutely brilliantly so far

red pollen
#

By skipping it

#

I just like going fast

spare talon
#

Yeah I'm saying that node is basically just a 10% sprint boost realistically

spare talon
#

I do use it with a build that is literally just speedrunning with knife for solo maelstroms with mmt for that exact reason tho

#

But that build isn't really made with killing power in mind lol

pale spindle
#

also I'm confused with thy wrath, is it useful for furry zealot if you are using chainsword for example?

south folio
#

i like it for hit trading and not getting staggered in critical moments

spare talon
#

Any build

spare dome
#

its always useful, but with chain weps specifically you can saw a HVT without worrying about getting hit out of it

spare talon
#

You cannot be staggered by any attack anymore

pale spindle
#

forries yes

spare talon
#

It says melee but it is also ranged

pale spindle
#

it's a refference to the warhammer video

#

😄

forest cave
#

Wrath is bugged(?) so it makes you immune to gun slows and knockbacks

bitter anvil
#

Focking forries

forest cave
#

if it gets fixed i cant imagine the node being very good

north sedge
#

it's intentional

#

just wrong tooltip

forest cave
#

Gotcha, the tooltips are bad yeah

spare talon
#

If it gets changed I'm actually quitting the game

pale spindle
#

because I hear people say "just use block" but i assume it is because they only think it stops the animation of getting hit

spare talon
#

It is the single node that turns on the fun mode of the game

forest cave
#

The dopamine rush of yeeting yourself at a gunner wall and not being staggered if one manages to start firing is insane

#

Before and after having that node made me love zealot

bitter anvil
#

Zealot feel like easy mode

pale spindle
spare talon
#

Plus since they haven't fixed being staggered from ranged fire while at full toughness
It literally allows you to play the game at least normally

bitter anvil
#

Melee build made fun

spare talon
forest cave
spare talon
#

Not that good balance is bad

forest cave
#

But it's fun lol

spare talon
#

But twbs is literally just that good

bitter anvil
#

I love twbs

pale spindle
#

every other class struggling to move 2 feet

meanwhile zealot:

bitter anvil
#

I use twbs for heavy attack Crucis and ironhelm

pale spindle
spare dome
#

why is the social menu the only menu that has low GPU usage

#

so strange

forest cave
#

I just cant get into the Hammers. It feels like you take it solely for the big bonk dopamine rush but for the rest of the mission I wish I was using anything else

i have one point left in the fury build but it can only go into either good balance or frenzy

forest cave
#

Also the lazy side bonk that doesn't pierce 😐 the day we get an overhead thunderhammer is the day the heretics lost

spare dome
#

ironhelm kicks a lot of ass

obtuse stirrup
#

Or go Vet or Ogryn with the bendy shovels

forest cave
#

Ogryn shovel gaming is v fun lately

#

Thrust with foldable braining a crusher is always fun

pale spindle
#

ok this is my refined book build:

#

what should I change? đŸ€”

forest cave
#

If your goal is literally just to spam books than stick with the crit keystone but inexorable is generally better DPS and the unlisted dodge boosts make you super nimble

#

Also Disdain is a bad node

ember yew
#

you can also put that point into Until Death

pale spindle
#

i know disdain by itself is bad, but stacking with dualist, crit, fury, and faithful starts to get ridiculus

pale spindle
#

maybe i can move it to sustained?

#

wait does disdain stack well even if I'm just hitting one enemy?

#

because the tac axe can hit 2 people with lights, so I'm assuming it's a flat 10% increase most of the time

forest cave
#

Doesnt it only work every other attack?

ember yew
#

yes

pale spindle
#

oh then yeah it's dogshit

ember yew
#

first hit get stacks - second hit uses them

pale spindle
#

but ig it's good on cleave weapons tho?

forest cave
#

Not really?

pale spindle
#

even if it is only every other swing, this plus chain sword = 50% damage increase

forest cave
#

They usually hit breakpoints that oneshot trash anyway

ember yew
#

usually sustained assault + other stuff is enough

#

no need for disdain

forest cave
#

My axe with inexorable + sustained and blessings cleaves through the horde on weakspots yee

#

Anoint in blood is absolutely insane with a columnus though

pale spindle
#

ok ill throw the node onto good balance or the flat 5% damage increase?

forest cave
#

I'd prune 15% toughness on dodge for the melee damage node + sustained

#

You're already going crit book, you have a lot of safety net

pale spindle
#

i want sustained assault but I'm not sure what i can remove to get it

forest cave
#

yeah zealot tree doesnt feel the most flexible

pale spindle
#

ig frenzy?

#

but frenzy is useful for the crit proc

#

ig this?

#

kinda feels bad I can't get second wind tho 😔

You could get rid of TDR upgrade for Chorus and grab it

fleet zealot
red pollen
#

You have gold toughness after chorus either way and every enemies is dazed for a few seconds not to mention you’re running cooldown build to spam chorus

fleet zealot
red pollen
#

When chorus ends is the only time you don’t need any help with toughness

fleet zealot
#

At that point your only worry is a toughness breaker which doesn’t care about tdr

#

Take damage boost everytime

#

Helps the fact your dps drops to 0 whenever you are channeling

#

Zealot chat has been zealot chat all day and I’m so proud

pale spindle
#

btw @red pollen when ur doing knife zealot why don't u take sustained?

fleet zealot
#

I shall steal more ferrets

Sustained assault is out of the way for knife if you are going crit build, monentum knife users grab it tho

oak ermine
# pale spindle isn't 30% kinda insane tho?

It’s
 not great? I don’t remember this exactly, but it probably is multiplicative with other sources, and so it stacking with other sources doesn’t really do a whole lot if the person being over shielded has other Toughness damage mitigation skills

pale spindle
#

so instead what points do u put, to get thy wrath?

fleet zealot
#

It’s not good at all to take tdr chorus

#

It literally is only toughness breakers that are a threat with overshield and existing tdr sources

#

Plus you shouldnt be taking that much damage iicbh

#

Dodge slide block kill should be your primary defense

shy hull
#

Man, Thunder hammer is so shit... At least for me

#

It feels like 10x the trouble for 10x less result than most zealot weapons

pale spindle
#

i always say, why use thunder if you can use crusher đŸ€·đŸ»

shy hull
#

ikr

#

The blast feels so good to land

#

but that's it

#

it doesn't even OS crusher unless you spend a year charging the attack and land a weakspot hit

It feels lame

red pollen

Damage boost is ok for bosses but that's it imo

pale spindle
red pollen
#

On knife with shroudfield at least, I’ll have to experiment with other builds and see if they need it. I know I’ve used fury of the faithful into flamers and shotgunners and had them completely stop me dead in my tracks without it so I think it’s just mandatory on fury of the faithful builds

austere grail
#

The stun resist seems mostly useless

fleet zealot
austere grail
#

You cant attack for a very short time when stunned but you can just block

fleet zealot
#

Anything to compensate for chorus lack of damage

obtuse stirrup
obtuse stirrup
#

But not for your team

pale spindle

It's effectively a damage boost because your team can simply be aggressive into the space you gained them

red pollen
#

It’s fun to pair chorus with fire grenades and circle around a horde of bulwarks and chaff using the pulses to push them all into the fire

fleet zealot
#

That is just the smite argument which is half true

#

But a lot of teams im in are good enough they dont need the space created by chorus

obtuse stirrup
#

Smite is underrated too imo lol

fleet zealot
#

Or your team can suck nurgle nuts and somehow do less while chorus is active

austere grail

I HATE SMITE

Like yeah in melee, as a zelaot u should never have much trouble being staggered, but against gunners and shotguns this node literally is a godsend

fleet zealot

Enough for me

Funny thing about my knife build 
 I made it for sedition. I was waiting for any Hab Dreyko to rotate on the mission terminal for like 15 minutes and then finally one came. Sedition. Just took a knife, made a quick crit build to cooldown shroudfield, ran it 9 minutes no one joined. Next rotation was auric maelstrom Hab Dreyko, forgot to change back to my usual build, ran it anyway, easiest auric maelstrom run I’d ever had.

fleet zealot
#

I hate warp charges being tied to quicken

#

(Quicken is the level feat before the talent rework that consumed your charges for cdr)

austere grail

EP isnt bad but siphon is mostly just better

Purge the unclean is great along with the ranged damage node attached to it

red pollen

Get ability cooldown and stamina and a gunner or two if you need it but you don’t

north sedge
pale spindle
#

Ability cooldown, stamina regen, and block efficiency

north sedge

And you can't get stamina as a perk

pale spindle

For perks that is

north sedge

God christ no

pale spindle

Unless u have a specific build where you need other stats to breakpoint

north sedge
#

Block eff is worthless in this game

pale spindle

No

north sedge
#

Stam is slightly less worthless

pale spindle
#

If you don't like block efficiency then get sprint reduction ig

north sedge
pale spindle
#

I know this might blow everyone's mind, but maybe being able to run away for a bad situation is better than taking damage

#

Ur gonna wish u had that block efficiency when 8 Rangers are in you

Block block, dodge wait for regen block again

Nobody goes down everyone OK đŸ‘đŸ»

pale spindle

I don't know how much toughness u will need, but I would definitely prefer that than getting hit by 8 Rangers and being stunned locked

north sedge

Block is worthless because you'll block maybe 8 times a match

nimble fiber
#

ok I think imma take a xv break and go back to crusher

pale spindle
#

I know that loner PUB zealots have a tendency to never block but not all of us are like that 😔

pale spindle
#

While dodging u get ur Stam back

north sedge
#

No rhe game heavily skews towards dodging

pale spindle
#

As your Stam comes back u cna block again

#

Block effecncy makes your stamina bar not deplete soo quickly which makes you dodge better and run faster

#

Which then makes your blocking better

#

Which makes your dosing cooldown refresh

#

And the cycle continues

#

You can also push more frequently as well

red pollen

To me anything that reduces the amount of stamina you loose is a no brainer high importance to me

red pollen

Snipers are not nearly as scary as people think they are

#

In fact, u can even USE snipers to kill the elites for you since friendly fire works for them

Sniper gauntlet is the easiest auric modifier. Just take a pistol and put unarmored on it. The misty modifier seems to always be a lower intensity one by default

took ur book thing and doin this with a catachan sword

#

rampage is still power, right

#

game still tryina gaslight me on this shit

south folio
#

blocking is not that important and the game lets you push with minimal stamina anyways

#

and zealot (and ogryn) in particular maintains 75% of their sprint speed bonus at zero stamina

pale spindle
#

The thing I've always wondered is if momentum is better than piety for book đŸ€”

#

IG it's dependant on the weapon

south folio
#

ye

spare dome
#

gotta feel it out

#

also at some point youre just bein a glutton for crits

pale spindle
#

But being able to attack faster feels soo good đŸ˜©

spare dome
#

book is 60s cooldown, three CDR curios brings that to 53~, book buff lasts 10s and it takes 7s~ to cast, but you dont always hold it for the full duration, so we'll say 15s total duration

#

so 38s

#

i only need five crits hitting five targets

#

to get that back

#

or sure 25 crits but the whole point is the cleave for extra target procs

#

super easy to maintain uptime

#

and attack speed means more crits and also more just everything

pale spindle
#

The weapon I found that in very specific situations gets the book cooldown back up extremely quickly is the devils claw

spare dome
#

i still find peity to mostly be a meme lul

pale spindle
#

But that's only when ur light attacking a trash horde

#

It is very satisfying however when I hit 8 hordes with the claw with 3 light attacks and every one of them crits

1 sniper is fine, anything past that is overkill, but i would gladly take it over block eff and stam regen. You don't block enough for either to really matter. Especially since base stam regen is pretty fast baseline

i would do something more like this, still you shouldnt be having issues hitting a one shot bp with axe, this makes it more consistent though, also flipped some nodes to stronger options. the toughness talent at the bottom is pretty bad, the other one is much stronger and will keep you at high stacks easily. second wind is better toughness regen by far. also the toughness regen on your curios, this only affects coherency regen which shuts off in melee, not the greatest pick
