#

when he finally does die, there's a couple still-canon but absolutely heresy things that can happen

vestal pine
#

either way probably not the pleasent

misty mason
#

Yeah but like, people reckon when he dies that's when will actually come back

zinc talon
#

it could be that his death is the last step in his apotheosis

spare talon
#

Being in an unconditioned building at 95 f doing manual labor while smelling months worth of rat piss is fun, yall should try it sometime

zinc talon
#

and the astronomicon stays lit

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

it could be that he becomes something inbetween a god and a reborn perpetual

vestal pine
#

dont think vulcan removed his safeguard design

zinc talon
#

the star child theory

#

and it could be he dies, and the astronomicon goes out

#

but he's reborn

#

like he was 40k years ago

#

it could be he's a straight perpetual like vulkan or ollianus pius and just pops back out hey guys how's the webway thing going

spare talon
vestal pine
#

on the final The End and the Death we see him almost becomming the 5th chaos god, he's probably sitting there, "alive", stopping him from forming

misty mason
#

Aren't tonnes of primarchs getting the perpetual treatment

vestal pine
#

no

#

only vulkan is

zinc talon
#

robot was in stasis

misty mason
#

It would be very not surprising if big E is a perpetual

zinc talon
#

with his throat slit

#

eldar waifu found the solution, so he's back

vestal pine
#

rest have crazy healing factor, but only Vulcan can fully be raised back from the dead

#

and he's now missing great

zinc talon
#

on the spectrum lionel is interred within the rock

#

but he's back I think

vestal pine
#

hes back alright

misty mason
#

Lionel Richie

zinc talon
#

leman and jaghatai are fucked off down the road in the webway and eye of terror respectively

vestal pine
#

caught up in the actual Rock

zinc talon
#

enjoying their hunts

#

so they're still here technically

vestal pine
#

dorn left a hand

#

vulkan just kinda disapeared after the Beast

zinc talon
#

so all he needs to come back is a luke skywalker prosthetic

#

he's unconfirmed either way

#

fulgrim is fully a loyalist again

#

but he's stuck in a painting

#

that the necron memelord has

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

dorian grey style

misty mason
#

Wait fulgrim is a loyalist again?

vestal pine
#

feels like it was a one-off

#

no

misty mason
#

Wild

zinc talon
#

Trazyn has a painting

vestal pine
#

favius vile created a perfect clone of fulgrim

zinc talon
#

with a full copy of fulgrim as a loyalist, unchanged by chaos

#

that's it

#

you're right

vestal pine
#

that has the memories of him turning heresy

zinc talon
#

but he like, regrets it tho doesn't he

misty mason
#

Ah right

zinc talon
#

like he wants to be loyal

vestal pine
#

vile almost followed him, and then came back to his senses and just hand it over to trazyn

vestal pine
misty mason
#

Is fulgrim a dp? Or just possessed?

zinc talon
#

so Trazyn has a fucking 30k primarch in his vault

vestal pine
#

problem is how sassy the man gets he might just come another fulgrim

zinc talon
#

fulgrim is fully ascended

misty mason
#

I thought all the mono god legion primarchs were dps

#

Right yeah

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

he's a naga looking snake-lower 4-armed upper purple dragon looking thing

vestal pine
#

oh the originall fulgrim

zinc talon
#

magnus, I think, is the one that will turn back of his own volition

vestal pine
#

he was pocessed

misty mason
#

Yeah wasn't sure if that meant he was a demon prince or if it was just possession biz

zinc talon
#

yeah demon prince fulgrim, is not fulgrim

vestal pine
#

and then the demon got vanquished
and then later he become daemon prince

zinc talon
#

imagine if you had a tulpa in your head

#

and the tulpa took control

misty mason
#

Ah geez

zinc talon
#

and you yourself are just in the back watching your body do things

misty mason
#

Fulgrim lore sounds silly

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

I always wondered why the DHs are constantly praying specifically to the emperor

#

undisturbed and disturbed both

#

by the something, the rod, and the way

vestal pine
#

i still fucking wonder who did the dregs take to make one

vestal pine
misty mason
#

Puuussss

zinc talon
#

well they're all female, at least

#

I think they're psuckers the black ships don't find

#

and are kidnapped and forced to bend over and relax while they're uh you get the rest of the bad sex joke I'm setting up here

misty mason
#

I think DHs have to be made

zinc talon
#

yeah

vestal pine
#

they are made

misty mason
#

They're not just regular possessed

zinc talon
#

like wheel of time channelers being bound against their will by a circle of 13 black ajah

hushed knoll
misty mason
zinc talon
#

they have to be taken and ritualized and then possessed whether or not consent slips have b een signed by all parties

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

some prolly were just willing heretics but law of large numbers

vestal pine
#

sometimes used by the inquisitors

misty mason
#

Yeh

vestal pine
#

other times the traitors

misty mason
#

I've read Eisenhorn

zinc talon
#

lol yeah the inquisition will take these same people and allow them (while they watch and record) to be possessed

#

just to study and learn about the process

#

they'll willingly let people fall into hosting a daemon so they can talk to it or watch how it happens then have the whole thing locked away or killed

hushed knoll
vestal pine
#

From the blasphemy of the Fallen,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

From the begetting of daemons,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

From the curse of the mutant,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

zinc talon
#

which, since we're mentioning it

vestal pine
#

i think its this that the host is saying

zinc talon
#

if you lock a demon inside a host

#

then lock the demon inside a cell

#

that issss one less demon that can manifest

vestal pine
#

out of like

#

infinite

zinc talon
#

infin

#

yep

vestal pine
#

really fun

zinc talon
#

but I'm wondering if you could catch like, Ka'banda

vestal pine
#

40k is like

#

jsut absolutely fucked

#

absolutely

zinc talon
#

and then Ka'banda is removed from the chessboard

#

yknow I bet they're doing that exact fuckiung thing

vestal pine
#

and i like warhmmer the most cause there is light shining in the darkness, not just that it stinks of death and damnation

zinc talon
#

intentionally calling and possessing hosts to lure named or greater daemons/princes

#

then just putting them on an asteroid prison and setting that prison on a long orbit into the host star

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

ofc

#

this has absolutely been tried down in the dark cells

vestal pine
#

so higher class daemons are almost impossible to seal

misty mason
#

I would think binding a greater demon would be more or less impossible
Except the Eisenhorn DH power level implies it would be a greater demon tier

vestal pine
#

probably some unnamed one

#

unnamed greater daemons lose to named space marine after all

misty mason
#

Bro solos a titan

zinc talon
#

dawn of war two's story has the great unclean one as the BBEG

#

and y ou try and fail to seal it

#

the fact you tried before failing at least implies it's possible

vestal pine
#

fair point

zinc talon
#

but it's 40k

#

it was prolly never possible

#

and you're just the one sent to uh, occupy its attention before the inevitable

vestal pine
#

tbh

#

speaking of daemonhost

misty mason
#

Sealing and sealing in a mortal host are two different kettles of fish

vestal pine
#

big E might be the worst case of it all basically

zinc talon
vestal pine
#

5th chaos god still being kept inside

#

all these years

zinc talon
#

you mean in the sense that he's all those shamans collectivized into one body?

#

like, he's the host for all of them?

#

#

Nah horned rat

vestal pine

zinc talon
#

is the rat in 40k?

vestal pine
#

no

#

but its a meme

misty mason
#

No

zinc talon
#

darn

#

I read a good one a while ago

#

that the skaven are the closest ally humanity has

#

because one can't live without the other

spare talon
# zinc talon

You could just ads and the sniper you'd want to shoot has already been lobotomized

vestal pine
#

which is why dwarves kill rats

#

(they failed)

zinc talon
#

lol this is what I imagine the assassin clade that's traditionally the sniper-ish role would have in their hands

misty mason
#

That's a grudgin

zinc talon

KHAZAKAD KHAZUKIT
HWOAH

zinc talon
#

and I know dawi don't like rats either but

misty mason
#

Me ax fiiirsts fer worrr

zinc talon
#

I always thought it was skaven and humanity as the primary rivalry

#

even moreso than chaos

#

that's a chapter 10 plot development

misty mason
#

Nah man

vestal pine
#

rats are pretty much against everything

misty mason
#

Skaven v skaven

vestal pine
#

including itself

zinc talon
#

okay then educate me gear shift back to 40k

vestal pine
#

but yeah thats a "rumor" from one of the gw novels i think

zinc talon
#

a ratling gunner is just an abhuman then

vestal pine
#

i think its a funny one

zinc talon
#

my voice actor talks about them in-mission

vestal pine
#

basically dwarven hubris creating the ones that kill the earth lmfao

zinc talon
#

how he wishes he could have one in the squad

vestal pine
#

(different from squats, which eventually became votanns and they're the actual dwarves)

zinc talon
#

well we did just get squats back oin the table didn't we

#

(I've been a 40k simp since fucking middle school and never played a single tabletop)

vestal pine
#

was like 3 years ago now

misty mason
#

Ratlings are snipers basically

vast basin
#

damn just got a 17minute auric mael win with pubs thumbsup_ogryn

zinc talon
#

(tabltop dumm)

misty mason
#

Well that's their thing

zinc talon
#

what were the conditions, I'm intrigued

vast basin
#

the current one, I-E-F

vestal pine
#

ratlings usually do two things

#

sniper activity

#

or cooking

#

other than that they steal shit

vast basin
#

it was double knife zealot, gunker, and a blaze trauma I think

fleet zealot
#

They're natural enemies ... just like the Empire and Skaven, Wood Elves and Skaven. Or Cathay and Skaven. Or, Skaven and Skaven. Damn Skaven, they ruined Skavenblight!

zinc talon
#

wow, you skaven sure are a cantankerous bunch

ornate bone
#

Man-thing just made an enemy for forever-life

fleet zealot
zinc talon
#

so I'm trying to remember the theory

#

but it's like, skaven are against everything

#

towards the end humanity obviously is against nagash, vampires, and chaos

#

vampires and nagash realize chaos will push the end game button, so start to turn towards

#

but since the skaven are anti everything

#

the fact that skaven follow humanity EVERYWHERE and exist in the basement of EVERY city

#

when chaos actually would attack, humanity would have been overwhelmed if not for having to fight skaven too

#

and this blunted chaos' advance enough to let humanity actually buck up and stand up

ornate bone
#

The only thing skaven support is trans rights 💪 🐀

#

bursters enjoy their last moments on tertium

fleet zealot
#

their mango

#

and pretend they don't know nobody

zinc talon

outclassed and outplayed

#

that last one absolutely swapped doors on me

#

you can hear it

fleet zealot
# zinc talon

i would have backed the fuck up hearing the layered beeps

#

let the karker behind me handle it

zinc talon
#

this was back when they were spawning 3 at a time every time, under your feet around the ne xt corner

#

the one out of the door was the only normal spawn

#

so, quick explanation then deep dive video

#

I do not show up to a mission, to kill things

#

I'm not there to do damage

#

I am there, to keep everyone else alive

zinc talon
#

because if the smols stay alive, and I stay alive, for long enough

fleet zealot
#

see i used to have that mentality

#

i still do

#

except bursters

zinc talon
#

we get on the ship and I get my rashuns

fleet zealot
#

i don't trust anyone with bursters

zinc talon
#

all of this is a feint tho

fleet zealot
#

if there is a hint OF sketch in the air

#

i'm backing off

zinc talon
#

because I am terrible at clutching

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

like, fucking terrible

fleet zealot
#

let the next person handle it

zinc talon
#

so I spend all my time keeping smols from getting shot in the earlobe and bleeding out before the next apothejerry

fleet zealot
#

teammate blows bursters in my face more than once? i'm done

zinc talon
#

sometimes, though, a man is thrust into greatness

fleet zealot
#

i hear layered beeps meaning bursters stacked in eachother? fuck that

#

i'll frontline and power juggle to kill everything I can

#

but bursters are an exception

vestal pine
fleet zealot
#

i do NOT get rejects

#

who walk up to prone bursters

#

back your ass off i'm trying to shoot it

obsidian prairie

0 0 0 0 0 weapon that is just the handle

zinc talon
#

the chance of getting a 1% or 0% weapon, with those rank 1s

#

is about the same as getting a 1% or 0% weapon on my 30s

#

even though those weapons are all at like, 15% at rank 1

vestal pine
#

also wuld be funny if the itemization brings in 80%+ weaponsry

#

so people make 100 100 100 80 0

zinc talon
#

I mean I already have and use a power maul with 0% power output

#

my headcanon is, okri killed some Big Bad and this was his weapon

#

but the battery got knocked out in the fight

#

and everyone's too nice to tell him it's not just a fancy bonker he's using

#

so he just brings a power maul everywhere

its not like the hammer lacks the power to cleave

however it lacks in damage obv

zinc talon
drowsy steppe
#

what damage

#

caps

zinc talon
#

shuck and JIVE

elfin mango
#

If it adds a dot of 3 DPS a second, will that stack to 2x of you keep shooting?

zinc talon
#

oh volume/trigger warning: language

#

each additional burn stack adds exponential damage

#

if that's what you're asking

drowsy steppe
#

the more you apply burn stacks the more DOT you do

zinc talon
#

it's not linear like 3 dmg per stack, it's 3 7 12 25 50 125

elfin mango
#

Ok thanks

drowsy steppe
#

how much burn stacks you can apply is determinded by the Burn stat

zinc talon
#

burn is the crucial stat on a flamer

#

cone radius as well

#

damage is less important

drowsy steppe
#

16 stacks is the maximum, and 76% burn is needed to achieve that

zinc talon
#

^

#

it's also the speed at which the stacks are applied I'm pretty sure

#

so you use less fuel to lay more stacks in less time

drowsy steppe
#

your m1 does not apply burn DOT. And the damage is determined by the damage stat. Its uses is to stagger things mostly

#

pull out flamer > quick m1 to stagger and give space > m2

zinc talon
#

yep

#

it's great for pushing hallways/bridges and keeping momentum

elfin mango
#

M1s purpose is to stagger?

zinc talon
#

and it kind of bypasses cover and terrain to hit things behind/beside it

#

yes, and it's very good at that

#

anything not wearing metal armor is either assplanted or staggered

elfin mango
#

But M2 is no stagger but damage?

zinc talon
#

RMB does not stagger at all, or so little it's not worth adding into the math

#

the flame jet also has perfect bypass through enemies

#

so one LMB puff will stagger everything for the entire length of its cone radius stat

elfin mango
zinc talon
#

that's a great one

#

showstopper needs replacing

zinc talon
#

quickflame is really useful to me at least because it also synergizes with talents plural

vestal pine
#

just replace showstopper to blaze away and its golden

zinc talon
#

but it can tempt you into using more ammo than you should in the moment instead of a longer reload shortly after the fight

elfin mango
drowsy steppe
zinc talon
#

you melt down weapons with the blessing you want

#

and then the blessing is yours to use forever

vestal pine
#

you're gonna take forever with spamming lclick tho

zinc talon
#

some weapons, like axes and chainswords share blessings also

elfin mango
#

ive always sold them :x

zinc talon

so you only have to melt one for the whole pool of variants to be able to rebless

vestal pine
vestal pine
#

that sucks

zinc talon
#

crafting has changed too

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

you now have a second refine slot

#

and it can be double perk, double blessing, or 1 and 1

elfin mango
#

whats the second blessing to look for for the flamer?

zinc talon
#

those slots can be changed with whatever you want to rebless it with

vestal pine
#

blqze away is tier 3 blessing

zinc talon
#

but it locks the other two you didn't pick

#

blaze away is good, yes

#

inspiring barrage is really useful too

elfin mango
#

so i need to find a flamer with that blaze on it and melt it down?

zinc talon
#

yes

vestal pine
#

yep

zinc talon
#

the specific blessing and tier 1-4

elfin mango
#

and thats just luck of the draw in the shop right?

zinc talon
#

you melt that weapon and you get the blessing to use as many times as you want

neat drum
#

so im trying to make victor saltzpyre, i know there was some sort of devoted reject pack for owning vt1 or vt2, but i cant really pinpoint the customization, can anyone point me in the right direction

zinc talon
#

the docket vendor that sells gray to blue gear hardly ever has a blessing above tier 2

#

I mean once in a blue moon you might see a 3

#

but melk, the contracts guy who has daily refresh oranges

#

his can go to 4 and often do

#

so one approach is to run your c ontracts and collect melk money just t o look once a day at the weapons he offerse

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

for their blessings and blessings alone

#

when you find a blessing you want, you walk ten feet from melk to hadron and melt the weapon y ou just bought in front of him

#

then apply it to the weapon you're keeping

#

only have to do it once per blessing, per weapon type

#

and then you get free use on subsequent weapons

vestal pine
#

and shared across the operatives

zinc talon
#

well not free

#

oh yeah, that too

vestal pine
#

it is however not shared between different weapon type

zinc talon
#

so for instance common pool weapons like one handed chainswords, you could find one on your zealot and melt it for your veteran to use

vestal pine
#

and staves suck since they are each different weapon types

elfin mango
#

which ones melk?

zinc talon
#

infantry/braced guns

#

first store on the right

elfin mango
#

so i need to pick up contracts?

zinc talon
#

white haired guy, pretentious prick accent

vestal pine
#

the guy standing in green

zinc talon
#

you check the contracts he gives you every week that cycle at 6pm sundays

vestal pine
#

was he white haired lmao

elfin mango
#

ah y see

zinc talon
#

and then run your missions with those in mind, like killing dregs with melee

#

anyone in the mission who does that gives the whole team credit

elfin mango
zinc talon
#

and failing a mission still saves your progress

#

completing the contracts gets you coins, and completing all of them for a character gives a sizable completion bonus too

#

melks weapons cycle once per day at 6pm central

#

aaaaand this website

elfin mango
#

oh i have 5.9k of his currency

zinc talon
#

this website will show you every item for sale for every character you have in real time

#

so you can keep an eye on it throughout the day and only have to login to purchase something when you see something juicy

#

it's a real good practice to keep a balance of about how many you have right now at a minimum

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

cuz if you complete all your contracts and run out of coins every day until sunday is locked out for you

spare talon
zinc talon
#

but having about 6k coins on hand lets you immediately be able to buy like, three immediately

#

if the gods smile upon you

i mean im only going to be buffing my TH and burner

spare talon
zinc talon
elfin mango
#

whats hould i swap the slaughter for?

zinc talon
#

find your weapons you know you'll be using cuz you enjoy em and single those out

#

but, don't let something top tier slip away

#

like say, headtaker 4 on a chain weapon

#

the last thing you can do, is spend your plassteel and diamantine turning greys into orange just to see what blessings it produces

elfin mango
zinc talon
#

you go to brunt's armory and buy greys

#

the ones above 360 you take to hadron and consecrate to orange

#

the base stat of the item helps determine the range of blessings it can get

#

so the higher the stat the less chance you'll get a 2 or 3

spare talon
elfin mango
#

ah ok

zinc talon
#

here's a great place to ask

spare talon
#

At t4, it is 20% power at each stack, resulting in a max of 60% more power for just holding it a bit longer

elfin mango
#

so look out for a hammer with thrust 4

spare talon
#

Which is what results in the Big Bonk™️

zinc talon
#

we hardly ever get people pulling a superiority complex or get on a high horse cuz someone doesn't know how a weapon mechanic actually works

#

and a lot of the tooltips are gaslighting lies

elfin mango
#

im pretty confident with the zealots TH, all the hours of gameplay ive only ever used it

obtuse stirrup
#

And then I realised there is no practical difference between PC3 and 4 for PS6 lmao

zinc talon
#

and if anyone gets on a high horse I'll pull their legs outta sokkit n we'll all walk with em as they crawl to the closest apotheJerry

obtuse stirrup

game's hard enough without edgelord gatekeepers

obtuse stirrup
#

Imo the hammer is a handicap tbh

elfin mango
#

is the wrath worth getting?

zinc talon
#

my favorite of the three by far is the crusher, but it's a much different animal than the two hammers even though it's largely in the same weapon category

obtuse stirrup

You're training in the mega gravity chamber or whatever that DBZ thing is lol

frosty herald

Crusher is proper fun

zinc talon
#

that made me legit snort cole

obtuse stirrup
#

Looking at it in terms of what the weapons actually do

#

The Crusher is its own animal

zinc talon
#

yep

#

have you tried the newer one? the ironhelm?

#

or just stuck to the crucis mostly

elfin mango
#

me?

drowsy steppe
#

I still laugh when people say crucis is better

obtuse stirrup
frosty herald
#

Pickaxe is gonna be hella fun

spare talon
obtuse stirrup
#

I prefer the IV which doesn't use it though

frosty herald
drowsy steppe
#

yes yamato

obtuse stirrup
drowsy steppe
#

you were riht

frosty herald
#

Ironhelm is alot more fun to use

drowsy steppe
#

right

obtuse stirrup
#

Hammer is just barely killy enough to manage imo, it's the least killy weapon a Zealot has

#

Buuuuuut funni boss smash

spare talon
obtuse stirrup
#

And it does work

drowsy steppe
#

a lot of other zealot melees does strikedown damae on bosses

#

that is equal to what the thammer does

obtuse stirrup
zinc talon
#

yeah to answer the wrath question @elfin mango wrath is a great 1h chainsword blessing

#

and the chainsword is a lot of fun to use, very nimble

obtuse stirrup
frosty herald
#

Crucis does alot of special damage

obtuse stirrup
#

IV doesn't use it as well

zinc talon
#

they've also changed how sawing works to make it more survivable I guess

frosty herald
#

But ironhelm is just all round better at hordeclear whilst still doing good special damage

zinc talon
#

sure, you can make a case for both chainswords about wrath being a top or second tier choice for 1hers

#

the new one, the xig, also has 4 light and 3 heavy attacks in its combos

#

and weaving in and out of light/heavy swings to achieve single target or cleave attack combos is very well done

drowsy steppe
#

the breakpoint changes is minimal

zinc talon
#

I think the xig even has an extra 'hidden' attack swing you use after end-combo attacks

#

that might be one of the chainaxes tho

#

if you want to try a change of pace you can't go wrong with the new mark 15 eviscerator

#

it's extremely plug and play for new users

#

light attacks are horizontal, heavy attacks are vertical

#

it does great damage and cleaves like crazy

frosty herald
zinc talon
#

very high survivability combat style

vestal pine
#

unless you meme

zinc talon
#

these guys are very likely right

#

but slaughterer power on kill or power on hit, is hard to beat in its own right when you've gotten comfortable

#

but yes the crucis is a boss-delete huge damage numbers weapon

#

thrust makes that possible

#

ironhelm doesn't have that same kinda exponential power up ability, when you activate that hammer it will cleave multiple targets instead of bonking the very first thing you impact

#

the ironhelm also remembers where you are in your combo chain

#

and doesn't reset your attacks to swing 1

#

which WHY THE FUCK CAN OTHER WEAPONS NOT DO THAT

#

so for instance, you can power up for a cleave fighting a horde or power up the overhead nuke for a single target hit

frosty herald
#

Sorry broskie but the ironhelm is simoly more goated

zinc talon
#

just by swinging until that's the next attack, and activating then

frosty herald
#

Active push delay heavy

obtuse stirrup
#

The ironhelm's Bigg Bonq is like 90% of a Crucis right?

zinc talon
zinc talon
#

oh so it'll still leet delete

vestal pine
#

with ironhelm just funny special heavy onto a horde

zinc talon
#

yeah I was just speculating, I haven't used an ironhelm in a min or two

#

if my crusher could combo save and not snare when it activates I would transcend to actual demi-godhood

marsh hill
#

would yall buy?

frosty herald
#

Imagine they release a new thammer mark

zinc talon
#

yes

obtuse stirrup
#

They put the combo saving onto PS6

#

Worst thing they ever did to it lmao

frosty herald

Which has crusher's old aoe explosion

always buy 3 80s gear

always buy 4 80s gear

heh before bromentum that's all it could do

#

er not that, that's shield

#

the trauma/hammer blessing revamp

vestal pine
#

its still ass

#

but i do wanna make

zinc talon
#

my most used weapon by far

vestal pine
#

a crusis with

zinc talon
#

you're only ever 3 swings away from killing anything in front of you

#

but it has to be before the enemy gets back up off its ass from your initial big hit

#

so the whole game becomes, what combo do I use right now to kill this thing based on whatever is the situation

#

sleeping on the push attack is the biggest pitfall to thinking the weapon sucks

#

it's by far the hardest hitting swing it has

#

anwyay

zinc talon
#

the crusher

vestal pine
#

crusher PA is currently the most spammable high damage

zinc talon
#

which is why penetration is the dump stat

#

and you need a high defense

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

you need it for the push stamina cost reduction

vestal pine
#

ye ik

#

just fine to run one without one tbh

zinc talon
#

sure

vestal pine
#

this is mine

zinc talon
#

but anything with armor that the penetration stat would give you 10% of 15% on or whatever

#

you're going to be activating anyway

#

and the diff between a 50 defense and an 80 defense is like a full stamina pip or more per push

vestal pine
#

...why?

zinc talon
#

why activate when fighting carapace?

#

wait are we still talking about the crusher

vestal pine
#

i used to never activate crusher unless

zinc talon
#

the only armor type truly affected by the penetration stat is flak, and not really by much; carapace is already at the point it's largely trivial like 5% change

#

and you can make up everything you 'lose' dump statting penetration with just the 25% flak perk if it's even necessary

#

that gives you the points to max defense, and suddenly you're able to push attack five times instead of two

#

with that extra leeway, you automatically work into your muscle memory using the push attack mid-combo

#

or as a combo resest

#

and not a high-opportunity-cost heavy damage attack

#

plus it's nimble as all hell dodging, has a great weapon reach, and was tweaked to hit weak spots much more than it used to

vestal pine
#

welp fuck

zinc talon
#

I routinely pull over 50% weak spot hit rate in jobs, and on a good day 65-70

#

when you pair that with a crit talent build to get 85% crit

#

you're weak spot crit hitting more than every other swing

#

and the crusher has great increases in damage step up from body/weak/crit/critweak

#

in my eyes the crusher is the, like, tank role zealot weapon

#

well it's a solid start

#

if you have trauma or hammerblow 4 you can leave t he crit damage if you run a crit talent setup

#

and change infested

vestal pine
#

crit damage still suckish

#

oh well

zinc talon
#

yeah but, the weapon's natural weak spot hit rate

#

half of your crits are weak spot crit hits

#

and that damage step up is bigly yuge

#

also it's a by-attack thing too

#

heavy 1 has huge increases, light 1 or 4 not so much

#

light 2, does

vestal pine
#

h1 crit is really fun

zinc talon
#

oh it's free therapy lol

obtuse stirrup
#

Still change that crit damage perk though lmao

zinc talon
#

to weak spot damage

vestal pine
#

infested sucks ass

zinc talon
#

yeah I already oneshot dogs no issue, with more than one attack

#

and if you're hitting bursters with your crusher

#

you've got bigger problems than the weapon perks

zinc talon
#

heh my current crusher is 5% crit 10% weakspot I think

#

(I run max crushcrit cooldown talents with both movement speeds and holy relic/corruption aura)

random adder
obtuse stirrup
#

I think mine is unyielding carapace

vestal pine
#

tbh its not the worst thing

obtuse stirrup
#

Ogryn clobber

vestal pine
#

ok its like

#

0.3 stamina per pa

zinc talon
#

huh, half a pip, I thought it was more

vestal pine
vestal pine
zinc talon
#

nope

vestal pine
#

also i rate hammerblow > trauma

zinc talon
#

I settled on trauma because hammerblow used to anyway reset if you missed a swing

#

trauma will stack per target hit, it just doesn't give the first stack until you hit either same target second time, or second target same swing

#

then it increases per thing hit

#

and that half a second really doesn't sound significantr

obtuse stirrup
#

Crusher is a perks weapon anyway

#

Blessings are all marginal

zinc talon
#

but in the fight it stretches that refresh to 2 more swings and 2 or 3 steps forwar4d

#

yep

#

sad state of affairs

obtuse stirrup
#

Easier to build one though

#

It's the Braced autogun of melees

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

but, it and any other weapon like it can be used to game hadron to guarantee blessings

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

if you take a crusher at blue, and bless it with a tier four blessing you DONT want

#

that removes that blessing from the potential pool when it goes blue to orange

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

so now you're only looking at 3 blessings

vestal pine
#

very fun hadron

obtuse stirrup
#

I still question the maths of that

zinc talon
#

plus because it's a tier 4 blessing, that affects the range of blessings at orange cuz of the higher item stat overall

obtuse stirrup
#

Unless you are strictly farming blessings

vestal pine
#

if you're famring blessings at least it can net you the one that you didnt have

zinc talon
#

so perfect world, you put thunderstrike 4 on the crusher at blue, get skullcrusher or trauma or hammerblow 4 at orange

#

then rebless thunderstrike to what you didn't get

#

you've just cemented two blessing slots for one refine

vestal pine
#

idk how to feel about thunderstrike

#

feels like its kinda sucks compared to other impact rn

zinc talon
#

I have no problem with it at all, it's just the tooltip doesn't explain

#

thunderstrike and skullcrusher only apply when the enemy is in the stagger animation

vestal pine
#

anyways its good

zinc talon
#

as soon as the enemy finds their feet again you have to re stagger to get the blessings to add damage

#

yeah that one's great

vestal pine
#

not the best but its been through me for 1k hours

#

and probably another 500

zinc talon
#

thunderstrike is really handy cuz anything the blast aoe even touches receives stacks of SC/TS

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

and usually twice, not once, so max stacks

#

so you walk in and bonk some poor idiot in the middle of the room, and suddenly the whole room is taking double damage for the whole team

vestal pine
#

the blast AoE and the main hit counts as twice for the main target

zinc talon
#

but I get that's situational

vestal pine
#

so the guy you bonked IS

#

+80% damage when staggered

zinc talon
#

and since the aoe size change t hat's been really reduced in handiness

#

the paul still can get away with it but only heroes and maniacs bring those

vestal pine
#

i like hammerblow since its just currently

zinc talon
frozen zephyr
#

Whats the best perks for thunderhammer?

zinc talon
#

shock n awe

frozen zephyr
zinc talon
#

jokes aside, probably thrust

#

yes

#

reduces enemy mass per target hit in a cleave

#

so enemies hit at the end of a cleave take a ton more impact

#

instead of a ton less

#

it's prolly more an ironhelm thing than crucis

frozen zephyr
#

What about those one-shotting bosses? you need proper set-up for it right?

zinc talon
#

that's the crucis, with thrust

vestal pine
zinc talon
#

thrust increases your damage by like 60% if you fully charge a heavy attack

vestal pine
#

thrust with headtaker for crusis

#

thrust with headtaker/slaughterer for ironhelm

#

with a fully buffed ironhelm you get +100% damage for the cleave special ehavy

frozen zephyr
#

Yeah I use Crucis mostly. So will look out for thrust and headtaker, what about the passive buffs?

vestal pine
#

i use carapace/unyielding

zinc talon
#

dog packs might be my favorite enemy encounter

neat drum
#

3rd person mod is so good

nimble fiber
spiral anvil
hard nexus
#

(unyielding can be swapped with carapace if u wanna kill crushers a little faster instead)

#

(i prefer unyielding though)

frozen zephyr
hard nexus
hard nexus
#

i run both hammers, they both can run the same blessings and perks

#

both r fun

#

but i’ve been having a lot of fun returning back to crucius

vestal pine
#

its fine

hard nexus
#

wdym

#

i guess it takes an extra hit or two into a horde to get full slaughterer stacks

#

but the extra power overall from slaughterer is probably better

vestal pine
#

irtonhelm can activate slaughterer for the first hit and then get full benefit from the 2nd swing

#

crusis has to manually cleave through hordes, makes the slaughterer slow

hard nexus
#

huh

vestal pine
#

ironhelm has the cleaving specvial

hard nexus
#

right

vestal pine
#

jsut do that on a horde and immediate full stack

#

headtaker activates per enemy, so swing on a horde gives you full benefit from 2nd swing onwards

hard nexus
#

right but an extra 1-2 hits to get an extra

#

15% power

#

HT has a max of 25% power, slaughtered is 40%

vestal pine
#

headtaker also has the bonus of activating constant on boss stuff without any enemies on board

#

not the biggest thing but its decent

#

which is what crusis excelss against imho

hard nexus
#

when dealing with bosses, you’re usually 2-3 shotting them

#

so it’s not really helpful

vestal pine
#

oneshots are preferred from what i remember for crusis

#

anyhoo, ironhelm does suffer if it goes solo on bosses with slaughterer

hard nexus
#

you can’t one shot a boss anymore without absolutely perfect setup

vestal pine
#

friend with a guy who has a headtaker thrust crusis and oneshots bosses non-stop

hard nexus
#

on damnation?

vestal pine
#

yep

hard nexus
#

with stealth?

vestal pine
#

yep

hard nexus
#

yeah i don’t like stealth lol

#

i don’t ever run it

vestal pine
#

oh well

hard nexus
#

i run crucius with martyrdom and fury of the faithful

vestal pine
#

bonus for headtaker, it counts the charge of the fotf as a hit

#

so lunge to a horde and the first hit is +25%

hard nexus
#

yeah i guess

#

idk

#

the difference isn’t really major enough to warrant any change imo

#

it’s a mix of preference and what you wanna be better at killing

#

thats just all preference actually lol nvm

vestal pine
#

pretty much but

#

sad that crusis suffers

hard nexus
#

barely

#

you gain a slightly more consistent but lower power buff with HT

vestal pine
#

i meant about cleaving spoecial

hard nexus
#

ohh

#

yeah

#

i wish that the crucius could get a blessing

#

so a weak enemy that gets one shot (chaff mobs, shotgunners, ragers)

#

would like

#

explode into shrapnel

vestal pine
#

even then probably useful more on a ironhelm.

hard nexus
#

it probably wouldn’t be a great blessing but

#

it’s fun!

hard nexus
#

gives the crucius an alternative horde option

vestal pine
#

no blessing was a weapon exclusive

#

except staves

#

which are all different weapon classes

hard nexus
#

yeah but a girl can dream

vestal pine
#

men can dream also

frosty herald
#

i dream of sparking zero

left iron
# hard nexus (unyielding can be swapped with carapace if u wanna kill crushers a little faste...

No, it cant. Neither thammer gets even close to crusher oneshots. Pre-enemy oggy health buff, you needed a perfect Crucis with max headtaker and thrust, cara perk, 1 marty stack/at least 8 stacks of momentum, duellist active, maxed sustained assault, all of the melee damage nodes from the tree. Now, it needs more, but i havent done a proper breakpoint test YET and probably wont be doing one, i cant be arsed to play more Dorktide right now

Unyielding + flak/elites is the way

vestal pine

i use HP mod i know what im doing

#

can you try it with ironhelm

left iron
#

Ironhelm does roughly 25% less damage

vestal pine
#

but yeah most likely it had a scratch

#

idk why it feels like it has better carapace damage

ember yew
vestal pine
#

oh wait you havent proc'd desparation

ember yew
#

will work probably, but that means it's possible only in active fight

vestal pine
#

desparation and susass/headtaker would give it nearly....+70% damage on top of that

left iron
#

That wasnt the point of this specific test though. It was to show marty alone cannot push it above the threshold for oneshot

vestal pine
#

65%

#

my bad

#

sir with all due respect you still havent used desparation

left iron
#

Again, that is not the point of this test

vestal pine
#

you used dualist

left iron
#

Yes, because it was mentioned

vestal pine
#

great

#

anyway i remember oneshotting a crusher so im still using one

vestal pine
left iron
#

Crucis, in this case, dealt 1.195 times more damage than the ironhelm

frosty herald

in short dont try to fish for oneshots on crushers
