Rather than making it just do more damage

vast basin
#

Class specific blessings could be cool

ember yew
#

i saw level 900+ knife zealots who run away, get downed and quit

south folio
#

the prepatch 13 level 1k surge psykers who spammed surge into hordes will forever scar me

#

also the two level 1k surge psykers who sent bursters into me

coarse birch
#

Arco didn't you know

#

No horde can stand up to surge even in damnation

south folio
#

3-shot

coarse birch
#

Its simply too strong

#

Old surge was very funny

ember yew
south folio
#

guh

vast basin
#

Just to play devil's advocate a bit, I think when surge players just spam their staff into hordes it's usually to build peril and not to try and do damage

rocky marsh
south folio
#

they are doing it even after they've ulted

rocky marsh
#

i mean yoshi

#

you are fake dough

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

I am fake dough

wicked sage
vast basin
#

Well psyker ult can also give toughness with quietude so maybe they are just trying to generate tough? Idk man

frosty herald
#

if you wanna build up peril just stroke your forcesword

coarse birch
#

Not nearly as cool as real dough

vast basin
#

Stroking only really works with illisi unless you spam swap, and you can't really do that in a hectic situation

rocky marsh
#

master teach the young hard way

ember yew
#

me playing level 30(+16) Vet just to do vet penances in maelstrom
(this time its 2500 marksman kills, still need around +400)

#

like

#

5 leavers

#

i think

fleet zealot
#

smite "can" actually deal damage, if the psyker builds around it, tho that is a question of itself

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

Most smite players take it to be a CC bot and cant fight 1 poxwalker in melee

fleet zealot
#

bubble EP smiters singlehandedly dropping the winrate down so smite EP gets buffed

safe glade
#

if you'd build a taxe for crit, you'd take shred + BM right?

fleet zealot
fleet zealot
#

to hit the BM breakpoints

#

well, you could run shred

safe glade
#

so just headtaker + BM

vocal pulsar
#

So uh

#

Hey

#

Who asked

south folio
rocky marsh
stable cypress
rocky marsh
#

no escape

ember yew
fleet zealot
#

blazing piety+scourge+shred

#

if you take mk4, you go deci ht or ht shred

#

the other taxes have good angled swings for BM

#

but i'd test

#

test a lot

ember yew
#

i hate the last (?) swing on atrox 7

#

its like miss 50% of the time for me

#

its angle is weird

coarse birch
#

Im fairly confident BM Shred is best on non mk4

#

for mk4 i think i did HT Shred

fleet zealot
#

yea me too

#

i hate taxes

coarse birch
#

note mk4 was still bad with those

#

its like very very

#

whelming

#

just take like thrust HT Caxe if you want funny single target axe

rocky marsh
coarse birch
#

ye

#

well

#

kinda

fleet zealot
#

whelmed

coarse birch
#

less reliant on crits

#

and would be slower obv

fleet zealot
#

whelmed

coarse birch
#

but same idea of only hit one guy

rocky marsh
coarse birch
#

no rending but you do a billion cara damage anyway

fleet zealot
#

yea taxe being pathetic carapace damage

#

it's only whelming if you crit a heavy on their head

polar nexus
#

yep

fleet zealot
#

extra crispy reject, spicy green sauce flavor

safe glade
#

Which blessing would be ideal for a kantrael shotty apart from no respite?

safe glade
#

I have t4 fire frenzy on it now

#

but I notice that I barely have the stacks up

oak ermine
#

I’d say Deathspitter or Full Bore, but Fire Frenzy is also okay-ish

ember yew
#

Deathspitter is just a better version of Fire Frenzy

#

FS Design

safe glade
#

because it gives power?

#

I thought fire frenzy was better with the flat dmg boost

ember yew
#

because of how it works

#

it boost damage regardless of range

polar nexus
#

deathspitter is also stagger and cleave

ember yew
#

while FF only boost close damage

safe glade
#

hmm true

#

I only have t3 deathspitter researched

#

should I take t4 full bore then?

fleet zealot
#

first it was identical to deathspitter, gave power, then it gave attack speed, now it is close range damage

fleet zealot
#

unless you are using your shotgun regularly to point blank ogryns and monstros, i'd say deathspitter gives you more mileage

safe glade
#

alright,, thanks!

wicked sage
#

Finally got Shocking Stuff done

hushed knoll
polar nexus
#

Hiii

jagged aspen
summer tree
#

Like Psyker smite?

#

Press lmb and rub at the same time

jagged aspen
#

nah kill 40 enemies stunned by grenade

median steeple
#

shocking stuff is only difficult if you have teammates hell bent on eating every ad in the game

fleet zealot
#

or any good horde chopper

median steeple
#

but yeah flamer cooks the penance

jagged aspen
#

i dont understand the flamer

fleet zealot
#

it's even easier now than it used to be cause more enemy desnity difficulties and better shock nades

#

best way is to just communicate with team or get a premade

#

usually if you talk in both vc and textbox people will usually understand, hopefully

jagged aspen
#

did they buff shock nade?

#

nice

fleet zealot
#

flamer is get 76% burn stat and 76% cloud radius, if you are really itching get infested and unarmored perks. only good blessing rn is blaze away, OP is bugged and the rest are meh

hard nexus
fleet zealot
jagged aspen
#

ah

median steeple
#

I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE PUN NOOOOOOOOOOO

fleet zealot
summer tree
#

Clever girl

hard nexus
fleet zealot
#

HUH

#

ow

median steeple
#

I need to work on my psyker penances

fleet zealot
#

i just took 1d4 psychic damage from that image

jagged aspen
#

i just feel like flamer hits like wet paper

#

i mustnt have rolled a good one

fleet zealot
median steeple
#

burn and radius is what you want

#

get blaze away for extra punch and you have all you need

fleet zealot
#

both radius and burn cap at 76%

#

or well, that's the final breakpoint

jagged aspen
#

ok

wicked sage
# jagged aspen bro how

Flamethrower - Heresy
In Aegis Station (?) you have this funnel to a lift (after some sort of chapel) where a horde charges towards the lift, usually everyone takes the lift up before they get there
This time the Ogryn stopped to block them and charged through them, I tossed a grenade and flamed them all

fleet zealot
#

and don't use the puff left click usually it's not for damage

wicked sage
#

No, it was the assassination mission

#

Just before you get to the target

jagged aspen
#

ahhh

#

i know the one

wicked sage
#

Perfect width for the flamer

lusty turtle
#

im just gonna kill that one

#

i dont need to read that

wicked sage
fleet zealot
summer tree
#

Ai images about gooning go crazy

median steeple
#

reclaim the word goon

misty nova
#

Sure

hard nexus
fleet zealot
#

get fury of the faithful for flamer

hushed agate
#

@jagged aspen have you considered using charge?

fleet zealot
#

changes it from a horde burner to a crusher pack burner

hushed agate
#

Damnit youre quicker than me

jagged aspen
#

ive only taken it out a couple times since i thought it was kinda redundant for horde clear since zealot weapons are good for that

#

also FOTF works with ranged weapons??

hushed agate
#

Yes its stupid

#

I prefer chorus personally

hushed agate
#

Support zealot is goated

fleet zealot
#

support zealot is fuckin lame (IMO)

#

in my opinion

hard nexus
hard nexus
#

so it picks up the slack

jagged aspen
#

fair

fleet zealot
#

can't use a shove ro anything melee attack or else you consume the buff

jagged aspen
#

im not really racing to use a knife

hushed agate
wraith helm
#

And makes it tolerable

fleet zealot
#

not doing damage feels dumb asf

#

ok gas missions is one thing

#

but voc and bubble shield can do taht too

wraith helm
#

Other than that, I just see it as a boss pusher for cliff kills

hushed agate
#

Now that im thinking about it i should probably take stuns with my build instead of knife

#

Using t knife on controller is so aids

summer tree
#

Then there's an argument to be made

hushed agate
#

Voc hopefully will get its cooldown nerfed soon

#

Then support zealot will have more ground to stand on

hushed agate
fleet zealot
#

the damage buff unless you are in a premade of trusted fellows, will never outmatch what you could have done in the channel time

hard nexus
#

now kiss

#

i like chorus, i run it on knife zealot, i don’t always have it active its just like

#

a get out of jail card

hushed agate
hard nexus
#

and i feel like chastise is redundant with a knife

wraith helm
#

I like chorus cause it helps with grimoires, overtoughness, etc.

fleet zealot
#

the stun been nerfed and frankly it just a wiggle back while voc and wall shield knocks shit on their ass

hard nexus
#

and i hate stealth

hushed agate
vivid hawk
#

there even an OP t4?

hushed agate
#

Which if your playing qp is a life saver. Skill level is such a mixed bag

fleet zealot
hushed agate
#

Yeah?

spare dome
#

i basically just use relic as a slow dash with more teamward utility

wraith helm
#

Auric qps is insane

hard nexus
spare dome
#

pretty rare i let it pulse more than four times

hushed agate
#

I never said it was better than voc

hard nexus
#

i don’t wanna play vet

hushed agate
#

But its still good

hard nexus
#

yeah exactly

wraith helm
#

I like the pulse but I try to quickly get it off at +100 and skip the last pulse

hard nexus
#

this is reminding me of the psword bromentum conversation…..

hard nexus
#

i know you have it ready to go

#

you fallout gooner

#

psycho doesn’t fuck with legsworth…

#

look at this

#

it’s beautiful

fleet zealot
#

it's not about it being worse than voc

hushed agate
#

Than why were you bringing them into the conversation?

#

Im confused

fleet zealot
#

it just isn't fun or

#

interactive

#

if it was a slower pulsing aura that i could still swing while doing

#

I would like it

spare dome
#

wdym i get to sip my coffee once it's out

hushed agate
#

Like you said earlier that your opinion. I find chorus very fun

spare dome
#

that's loads of interaction

median steeple
#

idk maybe its just me but none of the Fs are really interactive besides like

#

stealth

#

thats it

fleet zealot
median steeple
#

or scriers

wraith helm
#

I still miss original chorus. Just bully bosses into a corner

hushed agate
median steeple
#

its just every other pulse

fleet zealot
#

NO one is arguing

#

i'm stating why I think it is not fun

spare dome
#

id love to know what they plan to do with overheal/VoC

wraith helm
hard nexus
hushed agate
#

Oh i thought you were trying to say it was bad. My fault

hard nexus
#

you must be killed

median steeple
#

yeah at least they didnt get rid of it lmao

wraith helm
#

Did it stun BoN at one point?

median steeple
#

no

wraith helm
#

Couldn't remember

median steeple
#

BoN is incapable of being stunned by anything iirc

hard nexus
hard nexus
fleet zealot
hard nexus
#

barrels stagger it

#

i think it still can on crit weakspot

fleet zealot
#

idk if it still can like it does with cspawn and pogryn

#

cause it got nerfed a bit

median steeple
#

Void should not be a talking point since it broke the game for a while

#

That shit was a godslyer

fleet zealot
#

but surge blessed crit weakspot

median steeple
#

slayer

#

SLAY

fleet zealot
#

me stunlocking the Pogryn into a corner with the power of my double BALLS

quasi marsh
#

Armor downgrade op

fleet zealot
#

chastise gives a melee buff after use

quasi marsh
#

Chastise does a lot

fleet zealot
#

and knife can keep the buff up with infinite uptime with crit cdr

#

making it actually the best blessing for consistent damage for it

quasi marsh
#

One of the strongest abilities in the game frankly

wraith helm
fleet zealot
#

yea

wraith helm
#

Kraks

fleet zealot
#

chastise is overtuned asf thank god no other class notices

hard nexus
#

is it really?

fleet zealot
#

yes

hard nexus
#

i feel like it’s kind of on par

quasi marsh
#

It's on par with piss toughness screaming tbh

fleet zealot
#

movement tool, buff, ranged damage pen, and the direct melee on hit

hard nexus
#

hmm

#

true

summer tree
open pollen
#

And toughness regen

quasi marsh
north sedge
#

Attack speed

summer tree
quasi marsh
#

Instead of pee toughness you get a lot more damage boosts and armor downgrade

fleet zealot
#

low cooldown

#

2 charges

north sedge
#

Any other skill would have at least some of that as upgrade nodes

fleet zealot
#

yea

north sedge
#

But chastise just does it all

fleet zealot
#

like, the movement tech you can do with it insane

#

you can do weird moonwalk driveby charges

open pollen
#

Chastize isn't too op, but it is too complicated. A real grab bag of an ability

quasi marsh
#

How is it complicated

open pollen
#

CDR on the other hand

summer tree
#

Press F and go forward

north sedge
#

It's not complicated it just does everything

quasi marsh
#

Take blazing piety -> press it any time you are breathing -> win

open pollen
#

It just does a lot of different stuff. Its complex.

summer tree
#

We don't worry about complexities and nuance, we just kill things

quasi marsh
#

Unironically I don't even use a gun on zealot

left iron
#

You can even charge backwards with it, it truly does everything

quasi marsh
#

Most of the time i just ctw into things and spam left click

#

And top dmg anyway

summer tree
frosty herald
#

sometimes i feel like psyker's marked is broken

#

i kill marked enemies but dont get stack in my hud

#

or marked enemies just spawn infrequently and then back to back

quasi marsh
#

I've felt the infrequency

#

Usually it's if I miss a marked enemy though

zinc talon
frosty herald
#

you get what i mean right

#

you kill 1 enemy and instantly the marked goes to another

#

but other times you kill an enemy and it takes a minute for another to appear

quasi marsh
#

Yes

#

Though usually

#

I noticed it's bc someone killed my target

#

But idk

#

I'm not that familiar with psyker

#

But I definitely have felt the dd mark disappear for like 10 or 15 seconds sometimes

frosty herald
#

i might have the issue because im simply too fast

open pollen
#

I think the armor downgrade feature of chastise, and any other currently unlisted buff for that matter, should probably be moved to its own talent and be replaced with a rending or brittleness buff of equal or greater value.

zinc talon
#

what, you don't like murking three crushers with six laspistol shots?

light steppe
#

Is Zealot just the easiest class or am I out of practice with anything other than the tigris chainsword

zinc talon
#

also if you pulled every unlisted perk or buff from the tooltips you'd have a fifth and maybe a sixth entire class

light steppe
#

Because I just tried a level 4 normal mission on vet, got my ass handed to me. Went into a maelstorm 4 with my Zealot, fucking murdered everything lmao

zinc talon
#

the chainsword does simplify things for sure

#

especially the new one

#

it's almost boring to use

#

almost anyway

#

and yeah ^that'll happen as you said

light steppe
#

Look, the simple 1 button combo of 'left click until enemies aren't around anymore' might be boring

#

IF that 1 button combo didn't turn everything into body parts

median steeple
#

all the classes are pretty easy however on zealot you just don't have to try as hard

fossil crag
frosty herald
#

(i am dead)

light steppe
#

Its the mix of speed, tankiness and damage. Like I just feel like I never get my toughness broken, the charge allows me to fucking run through gunner fire without issue and I 2 shot everything below a crusher

#

And then with crushers I just press the funny button and chew their head off

#

Pysker comes close in terms of 'ease' for me

median steeple
open pollen
#

(Also, the fact chastise has an s at the end instead of a z bothers me, but thats more a complaint with the english language.)

#

Having to chose between two weaker charges or one mega charge seems like a fun choice to me. They could buff the second talent accordingly.

light steppe
#

I like the 'ammo' count for charges. On harder missions I'll always keep 1 spare so I can dash out of combat if its really dire

ember yew
#

Me and my female zealot darktide experience ^

open pollen
#

You give half your hair to The Emperor!

ember yew
#

my go to daily hairstyle

open pollen
#

I think that one actually looks pretty cool.

light steppe
#

She kinda bad tho

ember yew
#

its just that darktide is too much stress

#

so everyone's bald

light steppe
#

When I heard the Old Man voice for Zealot I knew I had to make a grandpa

open pollen
ember yew
#

when i heard Kerillian voice i decided to make a melee Kerillian

light steppe
#

Why does this give me SFM porn vibes

frosty herald
#

poor janfon

#

such slander

hushed agate
#

Mods? Yeah, zealot chats being horny again.

open pollen
#

I am surprised we don't call when zel-chats NOT being horny.

misty nova
frosty herald
#

damn im goated

blissful tendon
#

i guess im backpacking this until i find one or the other blessings

#

these are both still The Perks™️ for this thing right

zinc talon
#

yep it's definitely one setup for a style/role of the weapon

#

it has more but that one shows up to work every job

#

taking a step back for next time you might think about whether the cleave on the weapon is already enough or not and if wrath does as much work as something else

#

The Crowd goes back and forth on it

#

personally I'm running relic/corruption/stun grrrnades currently so the 15's super easy light swings make it super easy to keep max stacks of crit % on hit super easily

#

and when it does crit, I can get 4? 5? ticks of that reduction per swing

#

shaving ten seconds off your ultimate timer in a well timed hit/crit sure is a nice quality of life boost

grave nebula
misty nova
grave nebula
grave nebula
# blissful tendon damn

how does the other shredder differ to this one stats wise? I prefer that ones moveset, but what about statwise? is it just all around worse or what?

misty nova
#

It's better

#

At anything that isn't crowd clear

grave nebula
#

huh?

#

MK15 is better at crowd but not single target?

misty nova
#

Other way around

grave nebula
#

cause I personally find using the MkXV boring as hell, while the other one has proper comboes I like doing and shiet

misty nova
#

Did I phrase something wrong?

#

Mk2 good crowd attack speed

grave nebula
grave nebula
misty nova
#

Yeah basically

grave nebula
#

I did find slashing crowds really smooth with the Evi, but Single target is just meh to me, feels like shit doing normal attacks and the special attack is only good if you got like a single big enemy to take care off

#

just prefer the Crusher way more

#

Might not be better damage wise when you got all the stats and blessings you could ever want, but I like the ease of use and utility it has

#

just shockbonk literally everything and you are gucci, monsters are a bit more difficult but it still does good

misty nova
#

You see, with the Mk15 nothing is a threat

grave nebula
#

It even looks cooler

#

but I hate the shove attack on it and most of all I just really dont like how noob friendly and simple it is

misty nova
#

Sure, I guess

grave nebula
#

I like to have to learn combos of shove attacks, lights, heavies mixed in together etc.

grave nebula
misty nova
#

Understandable

#

It's also important to note that the 15 has a 4 targets cap on the lights

#

It will stagger more than 4 but won't damage them

#

So cleave blessings are kinda wasted on it

#

It's seems like the undamaged targets still proc Invocation, which is weird

open pollen
misty nova
#

It's probably because of balance, the 15 has sweeping lights with a good amount of stagger, you'd clear hordes even faster and possibly trivialize the Mk2

coarse birch
#

ye its meant to be a single target weapon

#

when you think of weapons with XV single target numbers that also have horde clear they tend to be p dumb

#

looking at caxe

#

the cleave blessings dont change the cap likely because that would just be the same thing as caxe where you can fix a weapons weakness entirely with a blessing which kinda destroys balance and weapon identity

#

less heinous than BM but still probably too much

vast radish
#

Dear lord that crafting rework can't come sooner

median steeple
#

This is the most whelmed stat roll ever

#

I've never seen a roll like this

rocky marsh
vast radish
#

why did it have to give me literally the two most worthless blessings this gun could have ;~;

#

it's 378 whyyyy

misty nova
rocky marsh
#

Or its independent

#

So by hard cap cleave amount they make it so that you still stagger good but you don't kill the whole room.

maiden path
#

enemies sliding 400 feet to hit you with a 1 hit overhead

rocky marsh
ripe quest
#

L1-3 have rev stagger still so they're capped at just quickly shaking an enemy.

blissful tendon
#

as was the message immediately following it

ember yew
blissful tendon
#

but i guess not

ember yew
#

columnus V is a nightmare

#

braced guns got like 8 blessings

#

columnus got like 13 or 15

rocky marsh
vast radish
#

thankfully got an ok roll a few later

#

im aware the damage ain't great but oh well, it kills.

#

just gotta replace ranged weak with maniac i guess

misty nova
misty nova

ripe quest
# rocky marsh Mr exhil so why hard cap exist when cleave and hitmass is a property ;-;

Fatshark has little motivations behind everything. You'd want a hard cap in cases where you want a hard limit on how much a blessing can scale cleave damage, but not how many enemies you can stagger. Neither Evis should have any hard cap on damaged targets just because it's a 2h sword meant for crowd obliteration. However something like a Caxe PA probably shouldn't be able to damage 12 hitmass worth of enemies because you're literally blunt smacking enemies.

ember yew
rocky marsh
ripe quest
ripe quest
rocky marsh
#

So BM changes the system entirely, not that it sets hard cap?

misty nova
#

Carapace, my enemy

ripe quest
#

Yes, it has its own system and its own hard cap.

open pollen
#

Does cleave affect damage falloff on each target hit?

ripe heron
#

No

ripe quest
#

no that's an attack dependant thing. Cleave is only for hitmass comparisons for how many enemies you hit per swing.

rocky marsh
#

What determines the falloff

open pollen
#

So if falloff is still a thing, why would infinite cleave be bad? Wouldn't the damage after the soft cap become trivial?

ripe heron
#

Brutal momentum causes the cleave to ignore the target you headshot kill for the next target.

rocky marsh
#

Exhil being put to pop quiz today goddam

#

I'm part of the problem ofcKEKW_ogryn

ripe heron
#

It isn't really falloff, it's simply a different number for each target until you run out of specified targets and use the default.

rocky marsh
#

It's a hard set number?

ripe heron
#

You do 100 to target 1, 50 to target 2, an 20 to anything that isnt target 1 or 2

#

For a simple example

rocky marsh
#

Sorry how is that different from falloff?

ripe heron
#

Because the damage numbers arent interacting with eachother

#

Changing the first does nothing to the others

rocky marsh
#

Ohhhh

#

So if like you have +20 damage on next hit from whatever buff

#

It will only apply to first guy hit

ripe heron
#

That woul apply to the whole attack.

#

I'm speaking of the internal, base numbers.

rocky marsh
#

Like it demonstrates "not falloff"

ripe heron
#

All the rest of the damage calculation.

rocky marsh
#

I'm not being sarcastic

ripe heron
#

Armour mods, finesse.

rocky marsh
#

Wait wait

#

So like finese, what would happen that only first guy take more damage on a cleave

ripe heron
#

They arent static for the whole swing.

ripe quest
#

There are some outliers to that but yeah, stuff like finesse would have proper falloff with each cleaved target.

misty nova
#

There's also weapons with the Cleave damage and cleave targets stat, just to make things more big brain

open pollen
#

So if I did the minimum damage to theoretically infinite enemies, how would that create an imbalance if the minimum damage is relatively small? If the min damage is still too big, why not add a new min after x targets? I'd rather deal 1 damage to all enemies I hit than 0 damage.

I still don't understand why we need hard caps at all? Am I missing something here?

fleet zealot
#

If mk15 was uncapped it could very well make mk2 irrelevant

#

For example

#

Anyways it makes sense,the sweeps of the mk15 evi and mk12 chaxe should be weaker than the sweeps of the mk2 evi and mk4 chaxe, first ones are lights, the OG ones are heavies

#

Heavies are drawn back by being slower aka investing more

#

Sorry for any typos

#

Shower hands

open pollen
#

But then why stagger any enemy after the hard cap?

ripe quest
#

Oh because if you didn't even stagger then the weapon would feel like shit. You'd be ghost hitting a load of enemies every swing on some weapons.

fleet zealot
#

If they added stagger hard caps on cleave short of the current your weapon bouncing off before it cleaves to said target,

#

Would be the biggest nerf ever

open pollen
#

I just don't quite like the idea of staggering enemies with an attack, but dealing zero damage. If I do zero damage to an enemy, I would like to know that.

blissful tendon
#

im struggling a bit with beefier hordes using ironhelm, columnus iag, throwing knives, charge, and momentum, is there an improvement i could make here or do i just need to work on better horde control and movement

fleet zealot
#

I think that could be arranged, carapace has a 0 damage noise for bullets

fleet zealot
#

Best bet go immo nades

#

You are grabbing unyielding damage talent anyways,

#

Columnus can snipe specials anyways

blissful tendon
#

yeah its basically just any horde with a handful of any enemy that ironhelm gets stuck on

fleet zealot
#

Also how are ironhelms unactivated sweeps?

misty nova
open pollen
#

Would an uncharged ironhelm swing be better in this case?

fleet zealot
#

Perhaps use them as a clunky crucis

open pollen
#

Just so it doesn't get caught?

fleet zealot
#

You need to cancel your combo cause of h3 but, the unactivated sweeps should keep you safe

But i’m also sure immo nades would also help a ton

open pollen
#

I also hold block mid attack to minimize the time spent vulnerable. But that might just be superstition.

visual stream
#

H3 can be good in that scenario for brief openings to smack a special occasionally

rocky marsh
coarse birch
#

this is probably the craziest game ive had in a bit

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

total damage ended up not being as high as expected actually

fleet zealot
#

If there were a stagger cap, you’d end up swinging through mobs doing neither damage or stagger which would feel like shit

rocky marsh
fleet zealot
#

And mk4 chaxe stays winning cause no stagger cap means i take my HT+ punishment and bully packs of ragers and maulers

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

ye thats why it feels safe despite killing 4 things per swing

cold crypt
#

who's ready to see hadron destroy my hopes and dreams?

rocky marsh
coarse birch
#

thats headtaker they are likely referring to

#

bloodletter is the bleed on on chain weapons

rocky marsh
#

I thought head taker just do more damage. Joe come link to dagger

#

Stagger

open pollen
#

Yeah, how does bleed work here? I assume enemies staggered after the hard cap don't get bled?

coarse birch
#

HT is power

open pollen
#

That would make the hard cap make more sense to me.

rocky marsh
fleet zealot
#

HT is the power on hit blessing lol

open pollen
#

If bleed uses its own scale then I'd still be confused as to why we need hard caps over just dealing 1 point of damage past a certain point and adjusting the cleave parameters accordingly.

coarse birch
#

i wouldnt be shocked if bleed applied past the target cap/anything your arent damaging given crit CDR applies to anything you hit at all

misty nova
#

Afaik, bleed only on damaged targets

north sedge
#

We've seen capless bleed....never again

coarse birch
#

wasnt that capless as in it didnt cap stacks

north sedge
#

It created the knife meta

#

No

#

Infinite stacks that stacked themselves

misty mason
#

Bugged cappless bleed stacks was a joy

coarse birch
#

ah right

north sedge
#

It's why people pissed themselves in joy over knife for so long

coarse birch
#

yeah i knew bleed used to be stupid

misty mason
#

Wield knife, throw stun nade, everything starts bleeding progressively worse until it dies

#

Poke crusher once for 2 damage. It bleeds progressively worse until it dies

north sedge
misty mason
#

I think even hitting a bulwarks shield procced it

north sedge
#

And the punch would bleed them too

coarse birch
#

Yeah to this day

#

I still see people mention it or think its why bleed is good

north sedge
#

Yep

#

It's why i created the memes

#

Why i baited people very hard on knife early on

open pollen
#

Aye. Bleed is a better reason for having hardcaps than MK balance.

#

Because you could always just remove cleave blessings on certain MKs if it was really that important.

#

What is the current state of bleed anyway? Still bad?

north sedge
#

It's ok if you can apply alot of bleed quickly like ogryn and vet

coarse birch
#

Ogryn and vet also just get it for free

visual stream
#

Vet's bleed talent is pretty horrible by itself though iirc, right?

open pollen
#

Are there any weapons that apply bleed as a base? Or is it all blessing based.

sterile basalt

#

There was a bit on bleed in the pinned messages. But I am not sure how to view those on mobile.

sterile basalt
#

But serrated blade only exists to be used with a specific blessing

nimble fiber
sterile basalt
misty mason
#

Can be useful for crit boosting for zealot too

fleet zealot
#

No

#

Zealot doesnt need crit boost

misty mason
#

Bleed on crit, chance to crit increased on bleed

fleet zealot
#

We feed our own crits

#

As is

misty mason
#

Its a talent

#

We already have

fleet zealot
#

Yes i am aware

fossil crag
misty mason
#

Which you should run on a crit build

fleet zealot
#

Im telling you

#

Scourge feeds itself

#

In a crit build

misty mason
#

I know

sterile basalt
fleet zealot
#

Unless you are playing extra low int malice

#

Good morning zealot chat (its 4 pm i work in an hour)

fleet zealot
misty mason
#

Im just saying there is a use case for bleed on zealot builds, not that you should bring kit to help get more bleed

sterile basalt
fleet zealot
#

I know ogryns and vets go on about their bleed enabling synergies

sterile basalt
#

But it doesn’t have target cap like XV evicerator iirc

nimble fiber
fleet zealot
#

But we don’t really benefit from them

sterile basalt
#

All good just a bit confused

ivory marlin
#

Eepy even

fleet zealot
#

It’s just flavor and feel good points, with our crit builds we self sustain so easily

visual stream
fleet zealot
#

If scourge and blazing got nerfed, maybe

ivory marlin
#

Howdy

nimble fiber
fleet zealot
#

Just maybe

#

Serrated blade and the ogryn bleed talent

fleet zealot
#

Would be useful to us

#

But for now i dont think it is a valid bonus

ivory marlin
misty mason
#

I think low stacks of bleed can be useful for builds that fall just shy of breakpoints too, mostly on ogryn

fleet zealot
#

Ogryn staggers a lot of enemies

#

So the bleed gets spread around

misty mason
#

Like if your heavy sweep doesnt quite kill some trash, having bleed proc and kill them is handy

nimble fiber
fleet zealot
#

It’s kinda like softer soulblaze talents from psyker

misty mason
#

Not build defining, but some genuine use there

fleet zealot
#

It adds up

misty mason
#

Yeah

ivory marlin
#

That sounds delicious

nimble fiber

#

Im getting thres leches cake for my bday on Saturday

waht do i play...

austere grail

Decapitator combat axe

fleet zealot

headtaker is just really consistent, then deci is a balance between the two

austere grail

Decapitator is way more fun to me

#

Feels very axe themed

fleet zealot
austere grail
#

Dopamine breakpoints

merry flume
#

me if haymaker worked properly on cleave knife : yumm

merry flume
austere grail
#

So is it true that the rashad is strictly better than antax for BM?

#

Because cleave mod doesnt matter?

fleet zealot
#

basically headtaker will basically give you everything and stay that way, decimator ramps up more damage

fleet zealot
#

finesse mod also gives a bit more weakspot damage and attack speed

austere grail
#

Ugh i hate how rashad looks lol

#

Like a lego piece

fleet zealot
#

yea, and all the skins use the rashad base i believe

#

besides cash shop ones

#

if you are on pc you can get WCM but otherwise, stuck with rashad (i dont mind it personally

austere grail
#

I tried using third axe with the horizontal heavy but it felt very weird

#

Never see people use that one really

misty mason
#

Nah the docket skins use I think achlys

#

The pointy one

#

Looks like a fire axe

icy otter

I just needed to know how to get, cuz it seem so VIP

maiden path
#

theres a reason u only see stealth knife zealot........

austere grail
#

The short range means you need to know how to dodge and block everything

icy otter
#

Anything bad from the rat build is totally skill issues

austere grail
#

Which takes a while

icy otter
#

Cuz' if you know how to play it

#

You mvp

austere grail
#

I'd consider knife the strongest melee for zealot

#

If you had to pick just one

fleet zealot
#

no

#

not at all

#

i'd put combat axe, heavy sword, and crusher way above knife

misty mason
fleet zealot
#

knife has no stagger, low targets

#

not to mention while it is great if used properly

maiden path
fleet zealot
#

people craft it and use them terribly

#

without understanding what is great about the weapon

austere grail
#

I think the ability to kite everything easily makes it a contender alone

shell lichen
#

What is it that puts the knife at the top?

austere grail
#

The speed is so powerful

#

To me, its the combination of all-around damage to every enemy type/density, the great dodge distance, and #1 the heavy attack lunge speed boost

fossil crag
#

mk6 knife is best weapon for me

austere grail
#

Same

#

If I had to play an incredibly hard maelstrom with the director going crazy, I would go knife

#

Bleed on crit and uncanny on the mk6 is my favorite.

shell lichen
#

Stealth build to go with? Or something else?

austere grail

I play with the dash and blazing piety

#

Constant crit toughness damage reduction

maiden path
#

are you playing knife with fucking piety

misty mason

😬

austere grail
#

Thats what I said isnt it

misty mason
#

Piety really benefits from high cleave weapons

#

Knife is not that

austere grail
#

Interesting

#

Seems very strong to me

frosty herald
#

knife already has a high crit chance

maiden path

austere grail

I mean uise

misty mason
#

Not saying you can't do well with it

hushed agate
austere grail
misty mason
#

Dclaw, Rashad, hsword probably the best piety weapons

#

Dclaw and rashad have finesse

#

Hsword has huge cleave

#

And is fast

#

More crits, more CDR, more ability spam

austere grail
#

I loved seeing my crit chance go up to 80% with knife piety. But I think your point is that the knife attacks so fast it doesnt need to go above a certain %?

fossil crag
misty mason
#

Its more that the knife has poor cleave

fossil crag
#

mk6 doesnt

misty mason

relative to other weapons

just do heavy +push attack

and on the push attack aim it left to right with your mouse

Why wouldnt I want to crit on more of my heavy attacks vs elites and get to 16 bleed stacks more reliably?

sometimes if you one shot people with heavy

you dont get scourge
