zealot-class

[zinc talon]

I'd say I can feel the bile raising in my throat out of sheer anger and hatred

but really it's my body forcing a vomit reaction at the sight of these

MARSHMALLOW PEEPS that's it I might really hurk

[inner vigil]

btw, does Damnation become harder after levelling up to and past 20?

I feel like my crusher that I made at level 19 is no longer dealing as much damage on Damnation as it used to...

[zinc talon]

nup

each tier of difficulty makes the enemies chase you down faster, and finish their swings more quickly

that's the hardest actual skill check

that and total spawn count or total special type spawn count

[inner vigil]

I know. when I said "become harder" I meant does enemy HP scale based on overall team character levels...

[zinc talon]

it does not

it scales against the difficulty tier alone

not player stats or true level

you can really practice some self love going to the psykanium set to tier 5, and starting from the smol packs, try and get around the circle and back to your starting point killing everything one by one, and seeing how much time it takes you

the crusher is my favorite weapon to do that with

[inner vigil]

ok, well I guess I remembered the time it took for me to kill a mauler with my crusher before I reached level 25...

[zinc talon]

it could very easily be your attack combos themselves, not to snipe at you

the mauler did get some love with respect to how easily you hit their carapace helmet vs the rest of their body

and the crusher, got a boost to hitting 'weak spots' as well

so it might be taking you longer just because your weapon's now a heat seeking missile

try starting out with a push then push attack 1+2, which is the strongest attack the crusher has in its combo list hands down

the next two light attacks after that are overhead single targets, but because you just staggered the mauler you'll be hitting his legs while he's on his ass

and the heavy attack after those 3, is another heavy overhead

[inner vigil]

ok, but what does PA 1+2 mean?

[zinc talon]

like a one two punch, shoulda typed it out

push+push attack

then light light, then heavy

while he's ragdolled you can work in a power up activation in there while he's getting up

and your combo count will reset because you activated so your heavy attack is the overhead nuke

[sterile basalt]

For crusher single attack you can do PA > L2 > H1

PA chains into L2 which chains into H1

It’s not a combo reset

[zinc talon]

I was floored when I happened to realize the crusher has a second light overhead in addition to the first when coming off a push attack

but yeah heavy 1 might be there too

I think PA + light + light + heavy puts you at H1 for the last attack as well

[inner vigil]

actually, the problem might also be because I had a weaker cursher previously that had flak damage, and the one I now use had cara and unyielding

[zinc talon]

so you can work in an extra swing in the middle

unyielding is helpful but carapace less so

crusher damage vs cara is already paltry

and activating gives you a ton of extra damage without sacrificing the perk slot

you're gonna be activating vs cara anyway if only for the stagger alone

but a thing to note

activating then light swings, do half the discharge damage and half the blast radius as a heavy swing

[sterile basalt]

Most of crusher’s dmg comes from Skullcrusher blessing

So check if u have that

[zinc talon]

ah yes

skullcrusher is mandatory

trauma or hammerblow up to taste

[inner vigil]

I do have Scrusher 3 on my current crusher

[sterile basalt]

If u don’t have Skullcrusher then it’s literally not worth playing

[zinc talon]

thunderstrike is the crowd favorite hate target

ah good

[sterile basalt]

It’s also a sizeable power boost going from SC3 to SC4

[zinc talon]

two things there, #1 skullcrusher doesn't lay just 1-2-3-4 stacks and that's it

[sterile basalt]

Because SC4 gets to max 8 stacks in 2 hits instead of 3

[zinc talon]

skullcrusher stackls

beat me to it

and skullcrusher/thunderstrike

only apply their damage/impact bonus

while the target is in the stagger animation

when they get up again, even if they have stacks, they don't apply til you jostle or ragdoll the guy again

so for the crusher, the entire point is to ask yourself how can I knock this guy on his ass and kill him before he gets back up

and that's where the fun is

[inner vigil]

I also have hammerblow 3 on my crusher, just because the number is bigger than Trauma's...

[zinc talon]

hammerblow is on-hit

so that means if you miss, the stacks reset

trauma is a personal buff

so you carry it for the full duration

personally I pick trauma

[zinc talon]

see THATS the tooltip jesus would have given us on mount sinai

[sterile basalt]

I made it

[zinc talon]

doin god empras work

[inner vigil]

you sure? because I have missed a few attacks in the past, and the stacks haven't disappeared...

[zinc talon]

not certain certain but that's my understanding

[sterile basalt]

Hammerblow doesn’t reset on miss

[zinc talon]

well then

lemme show you what I mean about the psykanium jogging laps I mentioned earlier

you can REALLY up your game doing this a couple times to either warm up rq before you start a mission or to test a new weapon setup

[sterile basalt]

Hammerblow vs Trauma is fairly minor difference

[inner vigil]

also, I think I read somewhere that Hammerblow also stacks on cleave, while Trauma does not...

[sterile basalt]

I might need to check that

But they’re not that big in difference

Crusher already hits stagger really easily

Worst case scenario u pick up punishment (talent)

[inner vigil]

it was mentioned in the pinned Crusher specific guide iirc, idk if its correct

[north sedge]

Hammerblow is slightly better, basically

[sterile basalt]

Cool

Just changed it

[sterile basalt]

There were a lot of things I had to check how they worked

Did u know that fire frenzy and deathspitter boost melee dmg as well

[zinc talon]

so my warmup lap took me a minute ten seconds

oh that's not even the most egregious

blaze away, on the grenade gauntlet

is melee only

you can get stacks swinging at the open air

but they all poof the instant you brace to shoot

[sterile basalt]

Lmao

[sterile basalt]

Some blessings turned out better than I thought

Like executor (knife, force sword)

[zinc talon]

yeah end of the day I swear by blaze away

50% more melee damage plus 40% from crunch! the talent means you're heavy swinging the gauntlet for double damage, to start

@inner vigil if you do ^one lap like that once per login play session you'll increase your killing potential faster than just about anything else you could possibly spend time doing

it's a fantastic quick warmup to get the juices flowing and takes unironically one minute

[sterile basalt]

Practicing some atk combos on more complex weapons also helps

Like mk6 knife and mk7 devil’s claw

[zinc talon]

yeah the beauty of the crusher is its ability to either reset its combo chain in one hit, two tops to get back to center

or flowing in and out of cleave/single target/cleave single target swing on swing as you need in the moment

[sterile basalt]

I’m planning to run mine with pinpoint + gloryhunter

[zinc talon]

pinpoint's my other swear-by

if I can brace for the time needed I oneshot chargers and everything but ogri

and the melee combat shows up to fuck

granted, this is my newest arm candy half my age so I get some serious time savings getting around the psyk

FINALLY got a 550 crusher and happily I didn't have to mutilate it to get the max score number either

(because I will, mutilate gear for the 550)

[sterile basalt]

Nah take weakspot dmg off

Get maniac or smth

[spare dome]

dowwwwn, dowwwwwn, king of bones with a coral crowwwwn

[zinc talon]

I've thought a lot about the weak spot and here's why it's stayed

scoreboard tells me my weak spot hit rate at the end of a mission is reliably between 65 and 75%

and since I run crit cooldown talents, at maxx dicc I have 85% crit

70% weak spot and 85% crit means I'm hitting for a weak spot critical swing more than half the time I attack

^lol I fuckin love this weapon so much

[sterile basalt]

Yea but maniac prob helps u kill mutants a bit faster no?

That’s one of the few targets crusher doesn’t kill very fast

[zinc talon]

but since I still even then don't like to rely on crit damage on a swing I need it for, I run weak spot damage increase because the crusher damage numbers from body to weak spot are still super high

I already 2 or 3 shot mutants

[sterile basalt]

Not sure if maniac changes breakpoints

Carapace actually wasn’t bad in my experience

[zinc talon]

even activated I can't one shot em on a crit

[sterile basalt]

Helps reduce hits to kill by 1

[zinc talon]

close, but

you'll see in that vid if you care to watch me chump people standing still what it's capable of in its current form

I can 1-2 both ragers, 1shot both shotgunners, 1-2 chargers, and 1shot all the other elites and specials

this thing is my fuckstick

and it's not just the 550 flex doing the work either, it's really easy to get there with middlehigh tier gear as well

it's about catching weakspots on every swing direction by angling your view like I do when I practice

which I think is actually much easier in third person cuz you can see a 3d view of your predicted swing arc rather than having to wiggle your vision around and put the enemy partially or totally out of your sight

lol I'm looking through my scoreboards to see if my claim holds up and found this one

we must've lost and lost quickly

but ten thousand damage, 100% weakspot 100% critical

those poor five idiots I found before we flubbed the mission sure had a vibe check

https://tenor.com/view/starscream-and-then-theres-this-asshole-transformers-asshole-gif-8330518

[zinc talon]

actually outpacing his damage dealt with his overkill damage

borderline impressive

https://tenor.com/view/purge-heresy-wh40k-warhammer-exterminatus-extremis-gif-13767113

yknow this really doesn't look like stats that would add up to just 354

[tiny ginkgo]

Combat-axe-using Zealots; which blessing would you prefer on your Combat Axe: Decimator or Headtaker?

I'm currently using BM + Decimator for Horde Clear and general purpose. Initially been using Headtaker for a long time. But Decimator comes handy here and there too.

What say you?

[zinc talon]

I don't use them but I always get good results out of headtaker on other weapons

I feel like the continuous chain part causing you to lose your stacks every time you miss would mean it's fully ramped up a lot less often than you'd want it to be

headtaker stays for the full duration I'm pretty sure

[tiny ginkgo]

Indeed, I do get those moments too, when the stacks reset. Though when it's fully stacked, gets pretty satisfying as well.
I'm on the same page about Headtaker too. Plays safe. Constant +25% Power on your side.
It seems Decimator can be fun for a short time to test things out I guess. I'll stick to Headtaker.
Thanks for the reply 🍻

[austere grail]

Ye what okri said

Decimator goes away the instant you miss a chain

[inner vigil]

this is why I use Skullcrusher on my vet's shovel instead of Decimator...

[austere grail]

Also not that it matters but I'm pretty sure antax is striaght up worse than rashad with BM

Cus the cleave stat doesnt matter

[zinc talon]

https://tenor.com/view/bo-bichette-home-run-toronto-gif-25513327

[austere grail]

I hate that there really isnt a standout feature of the tac axes

I want my fast axe to be good

[spare dome]

it's the IV, and it's the special

[fleet zealot]

Tact axe special attack power, stun a mutant on headshot when most other weapons can one/2shot them

[noble ingot]

don't read zealot chat while eating, noted

[placid fiber]

lol

[inner vigil]

btw, which Blazing Piety augment path is better overall (in other words, without knife)?

[placid fiber]

I think people generally take the right path on it

[spare talon]

Right

Left path gives 50% toughness upon reaching piety, meaning it can only take effect again once it falls off, which is honestly harder than getting it

And gives 10% crit chance to your team, who may not have crit scaling weapons

[maiden path]

is this loading screen new

dis shit kinda hard

[spare talon]

Other path makes crits count toward/reset duration of fury, meaning you can literally keep it going while just swinging at the same enemy like a boss

Even if enemies aren't dying

[placid fiber]

Yes

[spare talon]

Plus 10% more crit chance is also great

For 25%

[inner vigil]

yeah, I figured out that Piety refreshes at max stacks right after I tried it for the 1st time...

[maiden path]

looks badass

[spare talon]

Yeah so that means the left toughness node is literally rarely used

[placid fiber]

Also yes

[spare talon]

Vs the other one which is quite literally the most important node out of all of them

The crit refresh

[inner vigil]

I saw it used by someone in auric damnation once iirc...

[zinc talon]

I can see it for specific survivability setups

Maybe not twins specifically but challenges like twins

[spare talon]

I've seen people run martyrdom with no extra wounds in auric
Just because people run it there doesn't mean it's good, it just means that person doesn't quite know what they're doing lmao

[placid fiber]

... what...?

[inner vigil]

hmmmm... now I wonder what to put the last 2 levels worth of points into once I reach 30...

I could grab Bleed For Emperor and put the last point into whatever I can reach, or I could put both into getting 10% extra melee AS from Faithful Frenzy...?

[placid fiber]

I really like the 10% attack speed, myself... but that's just me

[inner vigil]

I think the question could be answered better if I posted my build lol

Ok, I think its something like this

We've been missing your frogliness :3

[ember yew]

what melee weapon do you plan to use with this

[placid fiber]

Cough DO THE TAXE 4 COUGH

Not really <.<'

[inner vigil]

currently I use a crusher, but I intend this build to work with multiple different weapons once I hit level 30

[frosty herald]

https://tenor.com/view/mmmm-myes-wash-froge-cute-funny-fieryrage-idke-gif-16770678

[spare talon]

Yeah it was really mindblowing when I saw it
How most people in auric just run fuckin dogshit builds

[ember yew]

These times they do it for penances

I still need to do 2000 smokes ugh

[inner vigil]

at least its not cigarettes

[placid fiber]

penances can go to hell

[ember yew]

There's a lot of things that's wrong with the build, for crusher you can check the pinned guide here

and for piety

you cant just use piety and then bring any weapon you want

[spare talon]

What weapon is this for?

[ember yew]

some weapon will be shet

when you plan your build

first you decide on weapons

then you decide on talents

[inner vigil]

ok? and what weapons would be good? excluding knife becasue screw that

[spare talon]

Any weapon honestly
But the weapon you have is basically what you'd making your build around

[ember yew]

for piety? both knives, evis mk2 or 15, chainsword 13, dclaw 4

[void bison]

[maiden path]

im goated with this huntsman shit

[spare talon]

Crusher can work if you're a crackhead

[ember yew]

JoshoTM

Tactical axes can work, but they are ugh

[inner vigil]

ok, so I guess not dclaw 4, because I know from experiencing its garbage armour dmg as my vet that its not for me

[placid fiber]

That's the krub I do the best with :/

[ember yew]

you can deal with armor in 2 ways if your melee weapon wont deal damage to armor

• Bolter or Revolver MK2 handcannon/surgical
• Chastice 3 seconds bullet buff

[maiden path]

play uhh

maybe i should try huntsman kruber with bret longsword

[placid fiber]

I've played all careers a decent bit lol

[maiden path]

gaay............

spear and shield

bret longsword is meant for da knights......

[spare talon]

I main dclaw 4 piety and it's not too bad against armor when you crit parry, so it's not as bad as you think when built and used right
But I do also using the revolver and knives+dash to kill heavy armored targets

[placid fiber]

Isn't wanting to Thrust yourself into all enemies also... gay...?

:3

[maiden path]

no

i thrust at a distance

i keep the rats away

[placid fiber]

Suuure lol

I'm giving you crap, btw

[spare talon]

I mean the reasoning to use crusher piety is there
Crusher has really good finesse damage so crits aren't wasted on it
Plus it can hit a good number of enemies outright, even more with charges lights for big cdr

[ember yew]

But i didn't say that Crusher/piety was bad

[maiden path]

ik.,..........

[placid fiber]

Now if you want a truely broken combo: CDR instead of regen Waystalker

[ember yew]

tho i would still use crusher with momentum node

[spare talon]

Next time I use crusher I'm using it with piety instead of my usual momentum

Mostly cuz I'm more familiar with piety overall
But chastise is literally just too goated to give up having it on hand nearly all the time

[ember yew]

i believe it will be nerfed at some point

like Survivalist

[spare talon]

And I will cry

Cuz it's really really fun

[polar goblet]

uncanny flesh tearer mk 4 knife?

[spare talon]

Mk4 is the grey lookin one right?

[polar goblet]

i met mk 6

[spare talon]

I wouldn't do a bleed knife on the single target one

[polar goblet]

green

[spare talon]

Oh mk6 is better for that

That is the best setup if you were really wanting to run a bleed knife

[ember yew]

Uncanny + Precog/Riposte/Mercy Killer or Flesh Tearer

all 4 works

[placid fiber]

oh mak?

[spare talon]

Not saying that it's the best knife combo, but it's the best one if you wanted a bleed blessing

[polar goblet]

just tryin to farm some loner and knife zooms is fun

this is truely the knife of all time

[placid fiber]

I'm taking cover lol

[spare talon]

Weak spot damage

[inner vigil]

ok, so after some tweaking I have made a fire grenade martyrdom crusher build

[polar goblet]

i have this one but locked in backstab lol

also infested meh

[placid fiber]

Woo, I love Painkiller by Aviators :3

[polar goblet]

also 61%

[spare talon]

Did you take the +2 wounds, bleed for the emperor, and the until death/Holy rev combo?

Those are pretty important for a Marty build, on top of 3 wound curios

[ember yew]

i went to test it on Twins Hardmode a few weeks ago when a friend asked to help with it, didn't get to test much because they died on the 1st try, but next time i'l go with either precog or mercy killer, for this kind of damage i should really install ovenproof to see exact bleed damage, but im lazy

[placid fiber]

This

[inner vigil]

not bleed for emp, but then again I cannot afford upgrading stuff (nned more palsteel), so I have to run only 1 wound curio...

[spare talon]

With the max wounds you can have, bleed for the emp gives tons of extra health damage resist since you basically have many "gates" in your health that bleed for the emp uses to reduce damage

Makes your health artificially way larger, which is very good

Makes martyrdom a very cushy playstyle

[placid fiber]

Yeah

Bleed for the Emperor is goated

not taking it with a full wound marty build is heresy

[spare talon]

Iirc with bleed for the emp, your effective health is larger than fully stacking all possible health additions

When used this way, which is in addition to the damage, atk speed and toughness dr you get from any Marty stacks you may have

[mossy tulip]

Does this only work if you have wounds remaining?

So I should leave at least one wound up?

[spare talon]

It only takes effect when the damage you would take would drop your health down into the next wound

[placid fiber]

^

[spare talon]

So basically that means "don't go burning your health like an idiot for Marty stacks"

[mossy tulip]

Makes sense, so if your hp is below the lowest wound bar then it won’t proc

Leaving two or three seems best?

[spare talon]

The game is unpredictable, and playing with very little hp by choice is not a great idea

The best way to play Marty is to let the events of the game chip away into your massive cushion of a health bar and get stacks that way

Like it is a LARGE cushion

[placid fiber]

I usually don't go below ~50% hp

[spare talon]

Just let the unpredictability of the game be what gives you your Marty stacks

Think of the buffs like a comeback kid thing

[mossy tulip]

Fair, thanks for the explanation

[spare talon]

Cuz like if you're at very low health for like 30% more damage then a poxburster catches you off guard, you're down

Vs being at very high health and it just tickled you

Regardless how much bonus damage you have with your buffs they wont be much help if you're dead

[placid fiber]

Yep

[shy river]

just need to be able to glory kill enemies at low hp with martyr to regain health (fair and balanced)

[median steeple]

ok but hold on

that sounds hella cool if you could do it only on like elites

[inner vigil]

yeah, like sawing a mauler in half horizontally with his own axe?

[spare talon]

A true cadian (very good at eating glue)

[fleet zealot]

Yee, being on one wound martyrdom is great bonus wise but it is a danger zone especially if HR is down

I have spent over half the game at one wound cause of shitty medicae spawns and teammates needing it more

But mostly just let it build up

If you go bleed for the emperor and restoring faith you can get even more value

[flint imp]

Martyrdom is just too good that typically u shouldn't be relying on HR too much since u r just that strong

[fleet zealot]

Depends on your weapoj

[flint imp]

Crusher

[fleet zealot]

Crusher and chaxe mk4 yea

They can stat check

It’s still not worth sitting on one wound

Unless you have to

[flint imp]

Its worth it since u have HR to back u up and get u back to two wounds for a reset

[fleet zealot]

Just use the big cushion

Procing HR for anything besides having to isn’t worth it imo

If you arent going both rf and bfte

Yea you can sit at one wound, i usually only go btfe

The cushioning and build up is really useful

[flint imp]

Yeah I go dash zealot with martyr which makes me unkillable

Tho I've been meming with TH dash martyr zealot

[spare dome]

Martyrdom should be buffed to 10%

id actually use it then

Did you talk to da frog?

[placid fiber]

DID YOU TALK TO THE FROG?!

xD

[austere grail]

The only perk you need is maniac to guarantee specialist one shot headshots

[spare dome]

Frog follows me on adventures

[placid fiber]

As long as you talked to the frog, I am happy

[spare dome]

He eats Hecates hex and purifies souls for me and is very plump

[placid fiber]

If you don't talk to the frog you are a monster

[austere grail]

The revolver gets a massive damage boost from crits and surgical is the best blessing for that

I think maniac and surgical are the only "must takes" and the rest is preference

[placid fiber]

I mean handcannon is nice for crushers

[austere grail]

Yeah its a nice bonus

Personally I find revolvering crushers is a waste

[placid fiber]

Huh

[maiden path]

footknight is only for pro

(me)

[austere grail]

Even with hand cannon you need to get lucky with a few (3?) crits to kill them in 5 shots

[maiden path]

footknight is vital for qp

Do you at least have 60% block cost reduction base from your weapon and necklace bonus?

idk i dont be blocking

my entire build is for stagger

i dont have to block when everything is stunned

[placid fiber]

Nice meta build

The only difference I have is I take Rock of Reikland since that doubles the area of the aura

[noble ingot]

I'm been doing zealot penances the whole day and I came to the conclusion that zealot is not the class for me. I've never been this mad at DT as I am today
Whatever build I tried, nothing fits me

[placid fiber]

Trying to force the penances will cause frustration

What type of gamer are you?

I am a more defensive type of player, and a panic gamer

and all I can say is: Screw the penances until you figure out the class

[noble ingot]

It's not even about the penances, I'm frustrated at the way Zealot is supposed to be played. I'm used to my Ogryn always having toughness topped off regardless of the situation, I'm used to the insave toughness regen of my psyker. Zealot on the other hand? I can't figure it out, I'm constantly with broken toughness and near death

[placid fiber]

Until you get a feel for the class, the penances suck ass

[placid fiber]

What curios do you use?

[noble ingot]

2 toughness and 1 wound

[placid fiber]

I do 3 toughness unless it is martyrdom

[noble ingot]

all 3 have gunner perks on them

yet gunners and regular enemies with lasgus or autoguns melt my toughness like it's nothing

[placid fiber]

It is tough, sometimes, to learn how to play zealot

Zealot is a very tanky class, when done right

Otherwise? Very fragile

[noble ingot]

I'm at 50/60 for zealot atm. Once I'm done, I'm never touching this class again

[placid fiber]

It's sad you feel that way

Meanwhile I have 4 zealots

and I love the zealot

[leaden pebble]

interesting to see other people’s takes, because personally zealot is the most intuitive/easiest class for me to play

[placid fiber]

^

Zealot just... feels right to me, despite chastise not vibing with me

[noble ingot]

not for me. I have no fucking idea what main weapon to use, what secondary to use, what's the build that will fit me the most, because I've tried 5 of them today and I suck at all

[leaden pebble]

i use it, it’s very reminiscent of zealot from vt2

[placid fiber]

I know how to use it and i"ve gotten better with chastise but

I am not an aggressive player

[noble ingot]

my personal fav and most used class is Psyker, followed by Ogryn

[leaden pebble]

i dont like the stealth bit and chorus doesn’t fit my style

[zinc talon]

penances will come

[placid fiber]

Stealth vibes omega hard with me, chorus I feel meh on... and Chastise is the go-to career skill for zealots in general

[zinc talon]

just praysempra an playgaym

they'll finish out

or by the time you think of em again, you'll be two thirds done

and won't have to force it

[noble ingot]

I still need "Behind Enemy Lines", "Shoking Stuff" and "Blessed be Thy Aim", apart from 6-7 basic penances

[leaden pebble]

i love rocking chastise with an agrip braced and mowing down carapace with it

[zinc talon]

this entire comment is one misspelled word away from being a long winded sex reference

what's the quick and dirty on those 3, I don't remember the names of any of em cuz okri can't read

[placid fiber]

If I was feeling better I would take you on a journey with zealot and show you the ropes, but, I am feeling like absolute hammered crap rn x.x

[fleet zealot]

i love minks

[placid fiber]

Even in this state I could play adequately, though

[noble ingot]

no need for that, thanks. and I hope you'll feel better soon

chastise/fury is the dash, chorus is the support charge, and shroud is the stealth

[placid fiber]

My brain feels like it is melting upon itself and my body feels like it is twisting around inwardly

[leaden pebble]

[placid fiber]

Fun stuff... x.x

I seem to get sick way more easily than I used to... 😦

[zinc talon]

[noble ingot]

I still need to do 2 more regular Damnation missions for the "Fight The Good Fight (5)" and I just can't seem to handle it. Whenever I go down, suddenly my team is nowhere in sight, I die and then just rage quit. I'm that fucking over with this class for today

[zinc talon]

sunlight, multivitamins, vitamin D, and garlic in your diet

the sunlight fixes the vitamin D, which we lurndt during lockdowns that megadosing cuts your risk of covid contraction by half and death by like 90%

[noble ingot]

also don't forget to stay hydrated

[zinc talon]

multis keep your liver runnin tip top, and garlic has sulfur in it so when you eat it that floating around in your bloodstream is very toxic to certain diseases

[ivory marlin]

@zealous basin i have aquired hunt

[placid fiber]

Garlic is poor man's penicillin

One standard cup of gasoline has enough energy to feed you for the rest of your life

[leaden pebble]

why eat food when uranium has all the calories you’ll ever need

[zinc talon]

If you took a persons arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymph system and laid them all end to end

that person would not enjoy it

[placid fiber]

Ugh even laying down is uncomfortable

[zinc talon]

whereabouts

[placid fiber]

My neck

[placid fiber]

It's been sore since my last seizure

[zinc talon]

well your thymus is where your body stores its white blood cells, if you're havin an immune response that's likely working overtime

grand mal or gran petit?

[placid fiber]

Grand mal

[zinc talon]

did you lose consciousness, how long ago was it

[placid fiber]

It was from buproprium

Last week

And yes

[zinc talon]

wuuf a medicine mismatch?

not familiar with that pill

[placid fiber]

No, I was stupid

[zinc talon]

as is the start of any good story

[placid fiber]

It lowers the seizure threshold

I took more than I should have

I can't remember why

It's an antidepressant

[zinc talon]

SSRI if you know?>

[placid fiber]

Huh?

[zinc talon]

not disputing you at all but trying to think of how or why it would/could

it's the major class of antidepressants

ritalin, prozac, lexapro

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

basically you feed your brain the happy splashy chemical and stop it from reabsorbing it once it does

[placid fiber]

I was feeling weird that day

[zinc talon]

so basically, extacy

(the drug not the state of being)

[placid fiber]

I haven't done that since

Since normally I know better

[zinc talon]

naw it's a normal to think if oyu're feeling extra out of sorts then perhaps more would be needed and/or make you feel better than normal

sadly that's not how brain drugs work, or hormone / endocrine ones either

they aren't the happy chemical, they nudge your brain into releasing the right amount of its own brand

and more doesn't do anything usually except give you more to metabolize and excrete

[placid fiber]

Well ever since that seizure my neck has been sore

[zinc talon]

is your range of motion limited

[placid fiber]

A little

[zinc talon]

touching your ear to your left/right shoulder, turning your head left/right, or looking at the ceiling or at your feet

so side to side rotation and up down

[placid fiber]

To the left direction for rotation

And backwards

It hurts to turn in those directions

I'm going to hopefully see a chiropractor next week

I just got x-rays on my neck and back

[zinc talon]

well you just saved me a ton of time and hearts/minds battlings

because I am a chiropractor myself

they'll get you fixed up in no time

seizures can be considered traumatic injuries cuz your muscles are a lot stronger than you think they can be, especially weight bearing ones like in your neck

you proly just scooted one of the vertebrae out of flush contact with the one above or below it

and the body recognized this, and to help protect from injury it's fired the muscles into spasm

to keep the joint space from slipping further

[placid fiber]

The questions that you asked do remind me of one

[zinc talon]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-pascal-gif-1833707996207285481

what you can do to help before you go see em is get a beach towel, not a bath towel

fold it in half on the short edge and then roll it up into a cylinder

lay down flat in bed facing up, and put that roll under your neck and just stare straight up for a bit

if it's immediately uncomfortable let some of the roll out and try with reduced size

[placid fiber]

I don't think I own a beach towel

[zinc talon]

at a point you'll get an ahh relaxation

where you're supporting the joint that's been fussy

after about 5-10 minutes it'll get uncomfortable again, that's fine you're not used to laying on one

get up, works done

you'll get from 5 to 10 to 15 to whoops you fell asleep on it over time

and help the chiro you're seeing to making sure the joint doesn't subluxate again

[ivory marlin]

guys i got games off my wishlist

i got myself a lil treat

[placid fiber]

Huh this cylinder pillow is helping since I do have it

My wife has some

So I am using it since it is something I have

[zinc talon]

the towel will let you take some air out of the tire so to speak til you find your specific sweet spot

serious cylinder pillows are made to a spec, and generic ones are just full of beans or rice or something

so they can be off the mark

but if you get that ghhg relax sensation when you settle in, if it aint broke dont fix it

[placid fiber]

This one has stuffing in it

[zinc talon]

getting up off of those from not bearing weight, to weightbearing again can be tender and spasm-y

cuz the muscle was relaxed but they're dumb, they're muscles

and they want to go back to spasm to help protect

there's some give and take in that process

[placid fiber]

This is the best my neck has felt since last week

[zinc talon]

but a hot shower, a bit of a stretch as much as is easy to do, and ten minutes on those pillows will get you back on track as soon as the chiropractor gives you that first thunk

heh good, that is the better of the two options

do the episodes come pretty regularly or was that a shot outta the blue?

[placid fiber]

Out of the blue, for the seizure

[zinc talon]

sucks. sucks

so folks with recurring migraines can get what's called a prodrome

where they have a moment and they think I've got 5-10-15 minutes before a shitstorm arrives

do you get those at all

[placid fiber]

I don't get migraines

[zinc talon]

heh sorry I meant for your seizures

can you see em coming a little ways out

[placid fiber]

I don't think so

[zinc talon]

or is it just, havin a ball and suddenly you're being helped to your feet

[placid fiber]

They aren't normal for me

[zinc talon]

huh.

about how many a year do you think?

how long have you gone in between them

[placid fiber]

I've only had med induced seizures this year

One was from tramadol

And this last one was from the antidepressant

Otherwise? I haven't had one since the last time I was on this med which was years ago

That time was from gaming, alcohol, lack of sleep, and the med

[zinc talon]

sure, just popped so to speak

it's good they're induced seizures for sure

[placid fiber]

This last time it was gaming, lack of sleep, and too much med

[zinc talon]

makes me reasonably certain there's no deeper underlying issue, you just hit a point and body says nope. calling a timeout

[placid fiber]

It's called: Stupidity

😉

[zinc talon]

lol

the heart wants what the heart wants

[placid fiber]

I don't want this anymore

[zinc talon]

well good

that's the biggest step

nobody quits smoking until they want to themselves yknow

[placid fiber]

Yep

I want to recover

I am ready

I hate what I have done to myself

Anyway I am going to get sleep

Thank you for the advice and listening

She tiding on my vermin

[misty nova]

They come like a tide

[runic grotto]

What perks do I need for a Flesh Tearer and Ruthless Backstab knife?

[fleet zealot]

no

just go uncanny strike

ruthless backstab doesn't buff bleed damage

[still quartz]

she vermin on my tide til i 2

[runic grotto]

uncanny buffs it?

[frosty herald]

Technically

Bleed has significantly lower damage against armored enemies

And uncanny allows your bleed to do normal damage

[runic grotto]

But how helpful will it be against crushers

[frosty herald]

Executor uncanny is better for crushers

[fleet zealot]

extremely

ruthless backstab is just for that hit from behind and enemies will turn to face you pretty quick after the first hit

uncanny is a buff to your character for hitting weakspots

[maiden path]

real no fake

[desert bough]

Is only beginning

[fleet zealot]

i like DT more for being more fluid and relaxing

[maiden path]

i wonder if darktide will be getting really big updates like maps and careers while the next game is in beta

[fleet zealot]

lets it be more of a power fantasy

[maiden path]

i like markus too much to perm play darktide

[fleet zealot]

a career and like what, and 2 maps

[maiden path]

2 maps for a game thats not the priority is crazey

new enemy too

[fleet zealot]

tbh a lot of what vt2 content if not all was released was probably being worked on before DT released

[maiden path]

i just want darktide to have more content!!!!!!!!

[fleet zealot]

they didn't drop VT2 prio at all it feels like LOL

dt got ntohin

[maiden path]

the only time i come back to darktide is when I wanna play a zealot for the aesthetic of being a religious fanatic

[fleet zealot]

they busy fixing up scraps off the floor so they could cut it down to launch

[runic grotto]

ok. But what perks would I want?

[desert bough]

Ulgo want new career

[maiden path]

i hope they add more darktide interactions

it feels lame when some matches your characters are social as fuck

then its just quiet expect for one scripted line at a certain point in a mission

[desert bough]

Ye

[runic grotto]

Maniac unyielding?

[maiden path]

that scripted liine in question is vet going

'it sure is dusty here'

and everyone calls the psyker a freak

game just bascially came out of beta

doe...

[fleet zealot]

flak maniac, unyielding, elites, unarmored,

all good choices

swap elites iwth unyielding and you got prio order from flak down

[maiden path]

i hope they add more helmets for ingame earnable currency

and not just the same helmets with goggles or a bandana added for a million coins

Starfield is infuriatingly full of gorgeous little ideas left half finished to never stitch together with all the other parts unfinished in the same way

A dedicated community patch and some mercenary coding from fiver and the game could be unrecognizable from its day 1 release edition

Also fallout new vegas it the best game ever made so im excited to rig up my game like I did that one

[maiden path]

[sterile stone]

You mean the game that's so boring the modding community damn near all abandoned trying to fix it

our bat just spam opening apps that were on every computer, and we could get a little creative cuz we could plant files in the shared drive and draw from those, so we had the classic roblox head as an image that opens up, and the roblox oof also playing

I ended up working IT for my middle school since I liked it but I wasn't allowed to continue for various rumors I lied about at the time. I kept saying stuff like "oh I caused that internet outage" and "yeah I zip-bombed some teachers" and it got me blacklisted from that IT group.

actual goblin

[zinc talon]

because what's anaphylactic shock at a boy scout summer camp

[ripe quest]

yessir

[zinc talon]

just a prank, bro

harmless fun

thankfully he found it

so we put it in his sleeping bag

[spare talon]

oh shit you were a scout too

[zinc talon]

hit 18 right as I ranked to life, or would have if I didn't see I couldn't get eagle coming and decide I was too old and cool and smart to keep it up

[maiden path]

thats so lame wtf 😭

let that poor teacher live

[zinc talon]

heh I grew up in texas

I went into a history class test day to find my vietnam vet teacher had his service 1911 disassembled across the chalk board tray

piecing out the parts for show

[spare talon]

she was really mean tho honestly

like if you made a slight mistake in your spanish she would make you wish you didnt sign up for that class

[spare talon]

My dad was the scout master of my troop so I didn't get a choice

[zinc talon]

hey man that's somethin

like 2% of all people in scouting get eagle

[spare talon]

yeah ik
hated doing it but i dont regret it

[zinc talon]

and I have zero idea what's happening with it now

[ripe quest]

my grandest achievement was modding a computer in my senior engineering class so I could get it to open Steam and OSRS. That class had funny incidents though. The computers there were those ones that were a monitor w/ a slot on the back for the actual computer, people would take the computer part and take it home leaving just the monitor. Happened like 4 times.

[spare talon]

did my eagle project at the height of covid which sucked ass

[zinc talon]

I wouldn't even want people I don't like to have to do that lol

[zinc talon]

build a fuckin wheelchair ramp, now that you have your first batch shot we'll see if it works you can stay outside the whole time

the BSA headquarters is here in irving

I live less than a mile or two from it

[spare talon]

yeah ive been there plenty of times

many an eagle ceremony

[zinc talon]

but I have zero clue what's happening with scouting goin forward, the whole thing died when people demanded boy n girl scouts merge

suddenly campouts got complicated

and enrollment dropped

that's hte last I heard

[spare talon]

yeah it was really fucking weird
i can understand the reasoning as to why, since both boy and girl scouts are generally pretty different

but like
you could also make
girl scouts have the same kind of activities as boy scouts?

like what

what the fuck
discord remix sucks

[ripe quest]

So like, with boyscouts, I assume becoming a good community person is the Pokemon evolution and going into the military is the Digimon evoltion right?

[spare talon]

anyway this was mine project, the base under this sign

[spare talon]

i dont know anything about digimon so i dont get the joke

[ripe quest]

I'm gonna be real I now have like 75% of you downloaded just based off of that reply.

[spare talon]

wdym by that

[zinc talon]

military want to bes not wannabes did ROTC

I don't really remember govt inboarding of anything

but getting eagle

[spare talon]

this also was way more work than we expected
cuz we had to basically dig 6 inches into the hard texas clay/dirt which SUCKS
like we literally had to rent a mini excavator from home depot and even then it still took 2 days

[zinc talon]

that opens some fuckin doors lemme tell ya

[spare talon]

[potent rain]

is fan the flame a good anchor blessing? also what are the best perks?

i fucking hate this rng crafting

[spare talon]

iirc perks are flak and elites

for flamer

[potent rain]

my flamer has elites and maniac

[spare talon]

thats fine

honestly

[zinc talon]

higher education shouldn't be an issue for you to get into then

that keeps the hair dark for sure

[fleet zealot]

Fan the flame doesnt give any meaningful stagger breakpoint to your left click and does nothing for your right click you will be using most of the time

You can take it as long as you also have blaze away

[zinc talon]

my grades were so bad and my exracurriculars so nonexistant I was denied for every school I applied to

[fleet zealot]

Cause it doesnt matter

[zinc talon]

had to retake my SAT

[maiden path]

u guys trying to grade my old math project

[potent rain]

i have blaze away

[zinc talon]

and I ended up the first doctor in the history of my family

[ripe quest]

I do want to check FtF at some point since they added a load of stagger resistance modifiers to enemies recently.

[fleet zealot]

Maybe

[zinc talon]

I get really good work out of it
