either way probably not the pleasent
Yeah but like, people reckon when he dies that's when will actually come back
it could be that his death is the last step in his apotheosis
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
and the astronomicon stays lit
if he dies holy terra still explodes anyway
it could be that he becomes something inbetween a god and a reborn perpetual
dont think vulcan removed his safeguard design
I dont want to work at Amazon
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
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
Aren't tonnes of primarchs getting the perpetual treatment
robot was in stasis
It would be very not surprising if big E is a perpetual
rest have crazy healing factor, but only Vulcan can fully be raised back from the dead
and he's now missing great
hes back alright
Lionel Richie
leman and jaghatai are fucked off down the road in the webway and eye of terror respectively
caught up in the actual Rock
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
ehh idk if that will ever get used again
dorian grey style
Wait fulgrim is a loyalist again?
Wild
Trazyn has a painting
favius vile created a perfect clone of fulgrim
with a full copy of fulgrim as a loyalist, unchanged by chaos
that's it
you're right
that has the memories of him turning heresy
but he like, regrets it tho doesn't he
Ah right
like he wants to be loyal
vile almost followed him, and then came back to his senses and just hand it over to trazyn
yeah
Is fulgrim a dp? Or just possessed?
so Trazyn has a fucking 30k primarch in his vault
problem is how sassy the man gets he might just come another fulgrim
fulgrim is fully ascended
nah just uh funny soul magic from the emperor with primarch dna
he's a naga looking snake-lower 4-armed upper purple dragon looking thing
oh the originall fulgrim
magnus, I think, is the one that will turn back of his own volition
he was pocessed
Yeah wasn't sure if that meant he was a demon prince or if it was just possession biz
yeah demon prince fulgrim, is not fulgrim
and then the demon got vanquished
and then later he become daemon prince
Ah geez
and you yourself are just in the back watching your body do things
Fulgrim lore sounds silly
thats called a daemonhost
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
i still fucking wonder who did the dregs take to make one
its imperial hymmal
Puuussss
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
I think DHs have to be made
yeah
they are made
They're not just regular possessed
like wheel of time channelers being bound against their will by a circle of 13 black ajah

U
they have to be taken and ritualized and then possessed whether or not consent slips have b een signed by all parties
getting like a higher class daemon, forcing them inside a human body(usually psyker) that has lot of safeguard measures on it
some prolly were just willing heretics but law of large numbers
sometimes used by the inquisitors
Yeh
other times the traitors
I've read Eisenhorn
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

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,
which, since we're mentioning it
i think its this that the host is saying
if you lock a demon inside a host
then lock the demon inside a cell
that issss one less demon that can manifest
really fun
but I'm wondering if you could catch like, Ka'banda
and then Ka'banda is removed from the chessboard
yknow I bet they're doing that exact fuckiung thing
and i like warhmmer the most cause there is light shining in the darkness, not just that it stinks of death and damnation
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
heres the thing
if the seal isnt perfect its gonna kill the one who summoned it
and then go back
so higher class daemons are almost impossible to seal
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
probably some unnamed one
unnamed greater daemons lose to named space marine after all
Bro solos a titan
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
fair point
but it's 40k
it was prolly never possible
and you're just the one sent to uh, occupy its attention before the inevitable
Sealing and sealing in a mortal host are two different kettles of fish
big E might be the worst case of it all basically
you mean in the sense that he's all those shamans collectivized into one body?
like, he's the host for all of them?
THE FIFTH
CHAOS
GOD
IS
MALAL
no we dont talk about [ ]
I cannot STAND they retconned him
Nah horned rat
honed rat
is the rat in 40k?
No
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
You could just ads and the sniper you'd want to shoot has already been lobotomized
fun one btw, there is a rumor about the great horned rat being one of the dwarven ancestor gods taht was kicked out cause he couldnt do shit with metal, so he learned to bend flesh and then yknow skaven
which is why dwarves kill rats
(they failed)
lol this is what I imagine the assassin clade that's traditionally the sniper-ish role would have in their hands
That's a grudgin
WENT TA WRITE DOWN ME GRUJ
prolly one of the oldest grudge if anything
STUMPED ME TOE
i liked the one
THATS ANUTHR GRUUJ
where quick headtaker dies
STUMPIN ME TOE WRITIN GRUJS
he's just scared to death bbefore even strangled to death
KHAZAKAD KHAZUKIT
HWOAH
well it's dwarves and greenskins as the like, chapter one rivalry
and I know dawi don't like rats either but
Me ax fiiirsts fer worrr
I always thought it was skaven and humanity as the primary rivalry
even moreso than chaos
that's a chapter 10 plot development
Nah man
rats are pretty much against everything
Skaven v skaven
including itself
okay then educate me gear shift back to 40k
but yeah thats a "rumor" from one of the gw novels i think
a ratling gunner is just an abhuman then
i think its a funny one
my voice actor talks about them in-mission
basically dwarven hubris creating the ones that kill the earth lmfao
how he wishes he could have one in the squad
ratlings are basically dwarp sized humans
(different from squats, which eventually became votanns and they're the actual dwarves)
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)
was like 3 years ago now
Ratlings are snipers basically
damn just got a 17minute auric mael win with pubs 
(tabltop dumm)
Well that's their thing
shit which one and what was the secret ingredient
what were the conditions, I'm intrigued
the current one, I-E-F
ratlings usually do two things
sniper activity
or cooking
other than that they steal shit
it was double knife zealot, gunker, and a blaze trauma I think
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!
wow, you skaven sure are a cantankerous bunch
Man-thing just made an enemy for forever-life
damn u got it before me
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
The only thing skaven support is trans rights 💪 🐀
Holy shit it's cousin Okri from Darktide video game
uproarious whistling
Sitcom character enters room and says "hi" in their normal accent
Audience starts having a heart attack laughing
Nice chest
runngun for melee when
outclassed and outplayed
that last one absolutely swapped doors on me
you can hear it
i would have backed the fuck up hearing the layered beeps
let the karker behind me handle it
the vet pushed em diagonally into that corner
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
i feel like its back somehow
because if the smols stay alive, and I stay alive, for long enough
we get on the ship and I get my rashuns
i don't trust anyone with bursters
all of this is a feint tho
because I am terrible at clutching
do you trust yourself with the bursters
like, fucking terrible
let the next person handle it
so I spend all my time keeping smols from getting shot in the earlobe and bleeding out before the next apothejerry
teammate blows bursters in my face more than once? i'm done
sometimes, though, a man is thrust into greatness
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
most scary is hearing bebebebebheebebebebebebebebebebebeb and not expecitng to blow up, aka when burster is on the ground
i do NOT get rejects
who walk up to prone bursters
back your ass off i'm trying to shoot it
WAIT i need to make a new ogryn
Named BBL Drizzy
wanna make heiachi
on the wierd position of if you shoot it blows up and it hits you and cannot be pushed
wosrt position tbh
At that point that is just an issue with positioning in advance
it's like getting stuck in a corner and trappered, you shouldn't be there
and should rewind and see the mistake that got you there in the first place
foresight posisitioning is a big thing and the gas modifier really showed off who has it and who doesn't
mistake was playing this game
dammit I relinked the vids I wanted here to og chat
well it stays because those phillistines need all the help they can get
these are a longer format than my usual vine chucklefuck vids
hadron ruining yet another
but I said all that about being terrible at clutching to culminate in this not-bragging-but-prolly-still-humblebragging sequence
i have a mobility 9 shotgun still in service
Maul
i envy for having 0 rolls
they are so exceedingly hard to find
what's funny, is I don't have just one veteran, I have two if you can believe it
when itemization comes i hope we get to customize modifiers
im definitely making mobility 0 gun
(both are rank 1 underwear models for the cosmetics I buy t hem)
0 0 0 0 0 weapon that is just the handle
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
also wuld be funny if the itemization brings in 80%+ weaponsry
so people make 100 100 100 80 0
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
\
i think me not playing knife for a while made me shit at it
this is supposed to be thirty seven thousand years in the future
we have plasma guns and chainsaw swords
I cannot stand seeing people use world war 1 poop shovels and thankgiving carving knives
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Mechanicus motto
Sure you can make a chainsword, but a normal sword is cheaper and easier to make
next time you're able to
dont worry lacerate aint over
take an actual critical look at the folding shovels in an og's hand
that flimsy ass goofy hinge joint it has
would be gone on the first impact
yet, hardest hitting weapon on offer one shots crushers
Voting to ban the word lacerate from this discord
Why would you do this to a well-rolled hammer
destroys the suspension of disbelief for me
Only allowed to say “the other bleed blessing” /j
and the knife, cleaving multiple horde targets and killing several each swing?
Oh noooo
wtf is it a vibro blade or mini lightsaber, cmon man
It’s a vt2 boomer hammer
LMAO
Is their curios+9 stam
I stopped using thunder hammers like first week
cuz the crucis is such a blatant copy paste of bardin's 2h
He has 4 wounds so I think he's a non-martyr with 2 wound curios or a martyrdom with no wound curios
I'm not sure which is worse
easier flesh tearer
May be cause bardin is my least played but isn’t crucis identical to kruber greathammer
Besides activation
The two greathammers in vt2 are similar/same
I respect crucis
It just isn’t for me
Ironhelm i find distasteful
It’s the zealot powersword
Paul and crusher are the same weapon types tho just one sucks
Im saying in usage and players
I knew the ironhelm buffs would make the ironhelm simps go crazy
Activations that go through horde are lowkey bs anyways
For evi it works
paul
precog uncanny mk3 would be great for relic
A group of Magpies is called a Mischief
venturing to NA
Bruh my coworker asked if he could go talk to his friemd for a bit at like 8 my time
Why he just now coming back in
omg yes bestie slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
guess who didn't mew
game kicked me out
midway
but lacerate real easy to just maul like 10 gunners to death thankfully
fun
so the scoreboard got reset smh
oh hey look piety blade
nice
yes
time to rock and stone again
when will they add 2h pickaxe?
when will fatshark add 2h pickaxe cause i fully believe somethigns gonna go south and the update being like 2 days late
dwarf too smol for that
Except it's past midnight now
Dang it, missed the perfect time for the joke
i have to save al the children on vernen wells
Playing siege and a little child started speaking on coms and someone else hops on coms and yells “GET BACK IN YOUR DADDIES' BALLS, MISTER”
Holy christ Im saving that for later
im trying to set this as my server profile banner but discord wont let me 
nice
switched myself from mk4 to mk7 tho
too big?
Beat his ass
I've come back round on the orbital strike too same as the MG
everyone's sleeping on em cuz they were the first things we got
so 'noob'
orbital strike sucks!!
Become dust in the wake of time
they did nothing with the orbital mm barrages though
sadly
kinda hard to buff them when they're already pretty solid for what they're designed for
one thing i actually dont like about the update
is that they didnt make the liberate planets
jungle planets
they made them robot hellscapes
they add these cool jungle cosmetics but no jungle planet liberation missions!
has anyone figured out how you equip the camos?
i cant go sleeveless on automaton planets!!
they're in the game apprently I just dont know what planets have them
we are also convicts ya know
top left
you dont give convicts plasma guns and bolters
thank you
well you dont give convicts boltpistols to execute personel
yet
Us actualy saving the children is hella amusing
We dont get a reward but delaying the mines is funnier
This kinda reminds me of suspiciously tent shaped bear
lmao
Does the damage stack with flamethrowers?
for anyone still unclear on iFrames and what an iFrame dodge is
that, is an iFrame dodge
posting lacerate knife
i dodge too late then
I mean it's the only thing I can think of
I sat still trying to dodge left and hitting that bulwark
and that first shot I just looked at sternly and the bullet went yipe yipe yipe the other way
the second I think I had clearance on but I dodged into the third, I think anyway I had turned my view from it
shock and awe is still my favorite meme tier blessing just for the giggle factor
swinging like sauron
what does shokanaw do again
its not like the hammer lacks the power to cleave
however it lacks in damage obv
WHAT DAMAGE
what damage
caps
shuck and JIVE
If it adds a dot of 3 DPS a second, will that stack to 2x of you keep shooting?
oh volume/trigger warning: language
each additional burn stack adds exponential damage
if that's what you're asking
the more you apply burn stacks the more DOT you do
it's not linear like 3 dmg per stack, it's 3 7 12 25 50 125
Ok thanks
how much burn stacks you can apply is determinded by the Burn stat
16 stacks is the maximum, and 76% burn is needed to achieve that
^
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
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
M1s purpose is to stagger?
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
But M2 is no stagger but damage?
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
that's a great one
i thought 76% was 15 burn stacks
showstopper needs replacing
it does apply 1 stack p sure?
quickflame is really useful to me at least because it also synergizes with talents plural
just replace showstopper to blaze away and its golden
but it can tempt you into using more ammo than you should in the moment instead of a longer reload shortly after the fight
yeah i dont have any blessings i only just started playing again.. not sure how to get the blessings
is it
you melt down weapons with the blessing you want
and then the blessing is yours to use forever
you're gonna take forever with spamming lclick tho
some weapons, like axes and chainswords share blessings also
ive always sold them :x
so you only have to melt one for the whole pool of variants to be able to rebless
get a weapon that you wanna sacrific
crafting has changed too

you now have a second refine slot
and it can be double perk, double blessing, or 1 and 1
whats the second blessing to look for for the flamer?
those slots can be changed with whatever you want to rebless it with
blaze away with something
blqze away is tier 3 blessing
but it locks the other two you didn't pick
blaze away is good, yes
inspiring barrage is really useful too
so i need to find a flamer with that blaze on it and melt it down?
yes
yep
the specific blessing and tier 1-4
and thats just luck of the draw in the shop right?
you melt that weapon and you get the blessing to use as many times as you want
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
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
melk sells tier 2~4 blessed weapons
brunt-> hadron upgrade gives minimum tier 3 blessings noe
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
and shared across the operatives
it is however not shared between different weapon type
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
and staves suck since they are each different weapon types
which ones melk?
so i need to pick up contracts?
white haired guy, pretentious prick accent
the guy standing in green
you check the contracts he gives you every week that cycle at 6pm sundays
was he white haired lmao
ah y see
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
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
oh i have 5.9k of his currency
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Official Website
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
not disconnecting
cuz if you complete all your contracts and run out of coins every day until sunday is locked out for you
need a plugin
It only does if you have the armory plugin
but having about 6k coins on hand lets you immediately be able to buy like, three immediately
if the gods smile upon you
I recommend being discerning about which missions to keep too, the grumpiness and scriptures one is shit
...
200 mil skulls
^get this
so you don't have to watch a great item go away
Accounting for 0.2% of the atoman population
every reply yall sent is true, glad yall mentioned
I missed power cycler 4
Three times
:)
Theres a super duper rare 5th tier blessing
Real and true
i mean im only going to be buffing my TH and burner
that's a good place to start, sure
whats hould i swap the slaughter for?
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
yeah idk what the top tier items/buffs are lol, ive only ever played zealot even when i used to play a while back
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
Thrust is mandatory on thammers
ah ok
here's a great place to ask
At t4, it is 20% power at each stack, resulting in a max of 60% more power for just holding it a bit longer
so look out for a hammer with thrust 4
Which is what results in the Big Bonk™️
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
im pretty confident with the zealots TH, all the hours of gameplay ive only ever used it
I got it in the end by consecrating
And then I realised there is no practical difference between PC3 and 4 for PS6 lmao
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
Do give the others a go too at some point!
game's hard enough without edgelord gatekeepers
Imo the hammer is a handicap tbh
is the wrath worth getting?
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
You're training in the mega gravity chamber or whatever that DBZ thing is lol
But it's easier for them to hear me explain how the hidden stuff works from up here
Imo the third thunderhammer is the evis XV
Crusher is proper fun
real
that made me legit snort cole
Looking at it in terms of what the weapons actually do
The Crusher is its own animal
me?
I still laugh when people say crucis is better
If you ever wanna use a XIIIg, Wrath is essential
Pickaxe is gonna be hella fun
Hearing people say it's a hard CC tool makes me cringe
I prefer the IV which doesn't use it though
Back in my day yada yada
yes yamato
The crusher is much more killy than a hammer
you were riht
Ironhelm is alot more fun to use
right
Hammer is just barely killy enough to manage imo, it's the least killy weapon a Zealot has
Buuuuuut funni boss smash
Who knew turning someone's head concave with a giant electric charged mace would actually hurt??
And it does work
which is funny because
a lot of other zealot melees does strikedown damae on bosses
that is equal to what the thammer does
Evis XV tears a hole into them pretty good
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
Again for XIIIg specifically
Crucis does alot of special damage
IV doesn't use it as well
they've also changed how sawing works to make it more survivable I guess
But ironhelm is just all round better at hordeclear whilst still doing good special damage
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
this is always the point that is bring up in defense of crucis
the breakpoint changes is minimal
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
Also a longer recovery time after the special which can get you smacked
very high survivability combat style
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
Sorry broskie but the ironhelm is simoly more goated
just by swinging until that's the next attack, and activating then
Active push delay heavy
The ironhelm's Bigg Bonq is like 90% of a Crucis right?
chain weapons would be an entire new world of fun with combo saving
75%
oh so it'll still leet delete
imho crusis = headtaker since it cant have a easy way to kill hordes
with ironhelm just funny special heavy onto a horde
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
would yall buy?
Imagine they release a new thammer mark
yes
Which has crusher's old aoe explosion
aint seen any of those
the meta could change or the weapon could be tweaked
ez purchase
plus pretty numbers are more important than higher numbers
XD
Tier 4 groaner damage tier 4 unarmored savage sweep smackdown
what did it do funny thammer damage in AoE?
Stunlocking entire hordes
Die
heh before bromentum that's all it could do
er not that, that's shield
the trauma/hammer blessing revamp
my most used weapon by far
a crusis with
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
the thammer?
the crusher
crusher PA is currently the most spammable high damage
its fine tbh
you need it for the push stamina cost reduction
sure
this is mine
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
...why?
i used to never activate crusher unless
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
welp fuck
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
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
h1 crit is really fun
oh it's free therapy lol
Still change that crit damage perk though lmao
to weak spot damage
infested sucks ass
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
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)
what ?
I think mine is unyielding carapace
tbh its not the worst thing
Ogryn clobber
huh, half a pip, I thought it was more
anyway current one isnt bad
nope
also i rate hammerblow > trauma
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
but in the fight it stretches that refresh to 2 more swings and 2 or 3 steps forwar4d
yep
sad state of affairs
now its just headtaker impact version
but, it and any other weapon like it can be used to game hadron to guarantee blessings
well except skullcrusher
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
and it gives me a tier 3 blessing
so now you're only looking at 3 blessings
very fun hadron
I still question the maths of that
plus because it's a tier 4 blessing, that affects the range of blessings at orange cuz of the higher item stat overall
Unless you are strictly farming blessings
if you're famring blessings at least it can net you the one that you didnt have
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
idk how to feel about thunderstrike
feels like its kinda sucks compared to other impact rn
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
anyways its good
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
thunderstrike is really handy cuz anything the blast aoe even touches receives stacks of SC/TS
yeah i'd agree about it
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
the blast AoE and the main hit counts as twice for the main target
but I get that's situational
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
i like hammerblow since its just currently
yes, for the time he is rolling around on the ground getting back up. when that ends, they have to be staggered again to get the 80%
Whats the best perks for thunderhammer?
Wait that real perk name?
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
What about those one-shotting bosses? you need proper set-up for it right?
that's the crucis, with thrust
thrust with whatever
thrust increases your damage by like 60% if you fully charge a heavy attack
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
Yeah I use Crucis mostly. So will look out for thrust and headtaker, what about the passive buffs?
unyielding with whatever
i use carapace/unyielding
3rd person mod is so good

Shock maul later this month 
thrust and slaughterer, flak and unyielding
(unyielding can be swapped with carapace if u wanna kill crushers a little faster instead)
(i prefer unyielding though)
That's for Crucis also right?
why ht on crucius?
yah
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
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
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
huh
ironhelm has the cleaving specvial
right
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
right but an extra 1-2 hits to get an extra
15% power
HT has a max of 25% power, slaughtered is 40%
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
when dealing with bosses, you’re usually 2-3 shotting them
so it’s not really helpful
oneshots are preferred from what i remember for crusis
anyhoo, ironhelm does suffer if it goes solo on bosses with slaughterer
you can’t one shot a boss anymore without absolutely perfect setup
friend with a guy who has a headtaker thrust crusis and oneshots bosses non-stop
on damnation?
yep
with stealth?
yep
oh well
i run crucius with martyrdom and fury of the faithful
bonus for headtaker, it counts the charge of the fotf as a hit
so lunge to a horde and the first hit is +25%
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
i meant about cleaving spoecial
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
even then probably useful more on a ironhelm.
make it crucius exclusive
gives the crucius an alternative horde option
no blessing was a weapon exclusive
except staves
which are all different weapon classes
yeah but a girl can dream
men can dream also
i dream of sparking zero
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
Tbh hammers should oneshot crushers and it's silly that they don't
with martyrdom i can one shot even without +carapace
crucius should
ironhelm shouldn’t
i don’t remember exactly how i meet the breakpoint but it’s almost full stacks of martyrdom and i think duelist
Marty max stacks, with this thammer. Not even close. Cara isnt enough to push it over either. A crit DOES kill, but its unreliable
idk how i meet the breakpoint but ive def done it before
Crit
norp
i swear i oneshot one before
without charge
Then its been damaged before you swung at it
Ironhelm does roughly 25% less damage
but yeah most likely it had a scratch
idk why it feels like it has better carapace damage
try to get max stacks headtaker and assault
oh wait you havent proc'd desparation
will work probably, but that means it's possible only in active fight
desparation and susass/headtaker would give it nearly....+70% damage on top of that
That wasnt the point of this specific test though. It was to show marty alone cannot push it above the threshold for oneshot
Again, that is not the point of this test
you used dualist
Yes, because it was mentioned
idk about this cause i remember it being a tight call on my ironhelm with carapace 25%
Here be ironhelm with the same test, as requested. Thammer used
Crucis, in this case, dealt 1.195 times more damage than the ironhelm
in short dont try to fish for oneshots on crushers
