is this good?

frosty herald
#

hmmm

#

you could replace wrath with 100% crit on special kill

north sedge
#

Why

grizzled aspen
#

That's a really good sword to begin with. Wrath definitely isn't the pick, but neither is bloodthirsty.

north sedge
#

Bloodthirsty is stinky dogshit on mk2

grizzled aspen
#

^

#

Personally, I have momentum on my eviscerator, but people would probably call me crazy for liking it.

#

(or whatever the blessing is for toughness on hitting multiple targets)

north sedge
#

Agree that's a bit overkill, savage sweep is nice on mk2

grizzled aspen
#

I use the mk15 one on a martyr build, it keeps me from having my toughness broken and eating my get out of jail card that is holy revenant.

surreal shore
#

i wish i could repalce

#

wrath

grizzled aspen
#

Why can't you replace it?

haughty haven
#

Wait

#

Does it consider the ticks from the special attack to be hits?

#

For momentum or whatever tf it is

grizzled aspen
#

No.

haughty haven
#

That would be legendary lol

grizzled aspen
#

Only the initial impact is considered a hit.

haughty haven
#

Immortal boss killer

grizzled aspen
#

That's why fotf with a chainsword is great, as every tick should be a crit.

surreal shore
grizzled aspen
#

Not sure I understand. Have you already modified the weapon at all?

haughty haven
#

I've got a mk15 evis with everything over 77

surreal shore
#

yeah i ahve

grizzled aspen
#

Oof.

#

Yeah you're just gonna have to stick with wrath, then.

haughty haven
#

It ended up with rampage and wrath

grizzled aspen
#

3/4 sword you've got there, though.

#

Nothing to sneeze at.

haughty haven
#

Should mk15 be carapace and unyielding?

wolf voice: hello chat

languid rock
#

i pair this with a nutcracker bolter and im set

#

absolutely mulches mixed hordes it does good maniac damage without any help

haughty haven
#

I guess I just haven't seen that it has headtaker

#

Think I got rampage and the hit mass one on mine

obtuse stirrup
languid rock
#

thats really weird based on what i felt but im about to confirm it, i might have just been feeling headtaker stacks or something

obtuse stirrup
languid rock
#

rampage is almost as good as headtaker but not quite

haughty haven
#

Ohh ok so I'm not doing too bad

fleet zealot
obtuse stirrup
#

Headtaker Deathblow is ideal

languid rock
#

yeah i do special heavy

haughty haven
#

Well I know it's less damage than power per percent

obtuse stirrup
obtuse stirrup
fleet zealot
obtuse stirrup
#

And isn't dependent on being in multitarget

haughty haven
#

Power is ultimately better is what I'm saying

languid rock
#

headtaker's advantage over deathblow is 40% cleave 40% impact and 4% damage, and it trades instant stacking for being able to stack on solos

haughty haven
#

Even if rampage did do 40 percent

languid rock
#

i think it also instant stacks if you cleave 5 enemies though

obtuse stirrup
languid rock
#

power is good

obtuse stirrup
#

Oneshots all trash for me already

haughty haven
#

Hmm

fleet zealot
#

rampage is power, but the thing is deathblow helps so fucking much with lowtier elites

haughty haven
#

Bak to the the lab again

#

Ranpage is damage

languid rock
#

l1 h2 is the horde clear combo i think

haughty haven
#

I thought anyway

fleet zealot
#

headtaker lets you stack on single target/duo target if needed and in general is very easy to maintain

obtuse stirrup
#

Well sometimes I alternate L1H2 or whatever it is

languid rock
#

rampage is damage

fleet zealot
languid rock
#

power is damage cleave and impact

#

headtaker gives power

fleet zealot
#

RAMPAGE IS POWER, THE TOOLTIP IS LYING

obtuse stirrup
#

But I take the heavy attack kills gives toughness talent

#

So I often just heavy anyway

languid rock
#

rampage is power???

fleet zealot
#

YES

haughty haven
#

Oi wtf

obtuse stirrup
#

Rampage is power

languid rock
#

game changer (not really)

obtuse stirrup
#

It lies

molten lily
#

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, emperor protects!

languid rock
#

but substantial improvement on an already good blessing

haughty haven
fleet zealot
#

you still go HT+DB because getting first target damage 4 times in a row is giga busted

languid rock
#

deathblow is mandatory i think

#

massively increases your clear

fleet zealot
#

HT helps in all situations, even single/duo targets, rampage is 3rd best

obtuse stirrup
#

Headtaker still more important

#

But deathblow is the ideal secondary blessing

languid rock
#

rampage needing 3 targets is a problem yeah, you have to actively restack it while fighting crushers or whatever because you're not doing your cleaves generally

crisp furnace
languid rock
#

deathblow makes hordes paper thin

haughty haven
#

What was cleaves relationship to flak

#

Is the mk9 the bis for heavy or is that all preference

#

Ie not as clear a choice of DS4 being pretty much the way

languid rock
#

i think heavier armor has more hitmass? cleave is one of those fuckin fatshark systems

#

uh i think 9 is BIS for patterns? i just happened to roll up a sweet one basically by accident

obtuse stirrup
#

Strikedown H1 except it is diagonal

#

So it's easy to oneshot multiragers with it, I hear

obtuse stirrup
#

9 is the classic

languid rock
#

ok yeah special attack doesnt do any damage mod confirmed i was having testing bias in the mission

haughty haven
#

Oh so the 7 more brain dead if it follows other weapon patterns

languid rock
#

funky breakpoints on the drug synthesizers lol

haughty haven
#

Ie illisi, eviscerated 15 etc

crisp furnace
fleet zealot
#

the heavyswords are a family with no clear bis

obtuse stirrup
fleet zealot
#

all the heavy swords cap out and start at the same levels so it's up to personal preference

languid rock
#

mk 7 doesnt have the heavy true cleave available is the tradeoff

fleet zealot
#

mk7 and mk6 are flipped

#

so mk7 has a cleaving heavy

languid rock
#

but i can see you mulching bunched elites really good with this thing

obtuse stirrup
#

It's highly recommended for the 9, essential for the 7

languid rock
#

they have the same cleave distro stat afaik but the mk 9 is way better at hitting a ton of heads

#

it has fully lateral cleaving heavies

#

7s are like 30 degrees off lateral

obtuse stirrup
#

How does deathblow work again

languid rock
#

and then like 80 but thats really just a strikedown

obtuse stirrup
#

Do you have to get every head

#

Or is it just the first one hit

languid rock
#

if you kill them with a headshot they dont subtract from your cleave-ometer

#

is how i understand it

obtuse stirrup
#

So it has to go through multiple heads

languid rock
#

you have a cleave damage curve and if you get a weakpoint kill you dont progress along it

obtuse stirrup
#

If you want the chain to cilontinue

#

...continue

languid rock
#

yeah it only gets the benefit on headshots

#

which the 9 is substantially better at imo?

#

the 7's h1 is just a cleave with bigger damage though so it can wipe ragers and stuff easier

#

like the mk 9 cleaving heavies, h2 and h3 do 204 damage to maniacs on my 9, but on this random much worse 7 i have it does over 400

obtuse stirrup
#

The 7's H1 is coded as a strikedown attack but it's the closest one to horizontal in the game iirc

#

On a weapon with bromentum (in all but name)

languid rock
#

oh wait im looking at regular damage not even weakpoint let me get the tables

#

it is indeed really close to horizontal

#

20-30 degrees off it it seems good

fleet zealot
languid rock
#

7 (no armor type bonus) vs 9 (flak 3 unyielding 4)

#

it hits pretty hard in return for the minor difference in angle

fleet zealot
#

tbf, those graphs aren't always accurate iirc

languid rock
#

no they're purely base numbers

#

but 2x is 2x

#

it SWANGS but the angle is worse and the swing is narrower

obtuse stirrup
#

And oneshots are very valuable for deathblomentum

left iron
#

9 has weaker H2 and H3, the H1 is the only one it shares with the others

languid rock
#

the mk9 has a hueg swing though and still kills bruisers and stalkers in one go though, so its wild at hordes

left iron
#

9 has better light attack profiles than the others, though

languid rock
#

7 trades that incredible horde clear for incredible pack clear

#

the 9 lights are also sick

#

i've been doing a build that charges in with a light attack to get everyone bleeding

#

a couple more lights then its murder town

obtuse stirrup
#

Idk when to use the 9's lights though

#

I mostly use them on enemies that tend to run away

#

Trappers, dogs, bombers

languid rock
#

swamped with poxers mostly, besides using them for combo timings

#

i think im gonna hit Krall, i wanna be a bit shorter and try out a new voice

lethal patio
#

What’s a good chain sword for a fury crit build?

languid rock
#

im trying to remember the deep lore about this, chain weapons dont trigger the critical damage CDR as often as other weapons can they're capped iirc, but its still pretty good, and they do HUGE damage when you crit and attack 20% faster

#

the mk2 is strictly better but harder to use IMO

#

15 might have some armor type advantages not sure

languid rock
#

oh wait regular chainsword... i forget about those

obtuse stirrup
languid rock
#

similar situation i think

obtuse stirrup
#

Easy revved overheada

#

2 better for cleave

languid rock
#

2 can do all the stuff its just harder to line up

#

i think lol

#

its a high skill cap weapon for sure

lethal patio
obtuse stirrup
#

2 feels like high skill for not much return

#

15 feels better in general for me tbh

obtuse stirrup
#

Other good crit weapons include heavy swords, crusher, combat blades, tac axes

#

Do not use a combat axe or a thunderhammer in a crit build for the most part

#

Idk about the others really

lethal patio
#

Oh ok nice thanks ima try them out once I get on

fleet zealot
#

heavy sword isn't a good crit weapon

#

it's like crusher where crit is jsut super overtuned so it "just works"

obtuse stirrup
#

Yeah, it's more that it's a weapon that can farm invocation of death from crits easily

#

And it doesn't really need anything else

#

Maybe I should swap to invocation/martyrdom and drop piety

ripe quest
# languid rock im trying to remember the deep lore about this, chain weapons dont trigger the c...

This is heavily inaccurate. An attack in a combo can be target capped, as in it's 0 damage past x enemies, but if you can hit the enemy you still get crit CDR. Chainsword doesn't have target capped attacks except for the PA, Mk II Evis' H1 is uncapped and the rest of the attacks are capped on both the II and XV. Mainly Chainsword is a finesse weapon, but doesn't surpass weapons like Hsword for that. Evis and Chaxe have worse finesse values last I checked as well, with Mk XV Evis being a special case in that its crits can hit good breakpoints.

maiden path
#

destiny 2 ticcu devination best pve weapon ever made

ripe quest
#

If you want to run crit CDR w/ a chain weapon, Chainsword (either) or Mk II Evis are the goto. Mk IV Chainsword w/ SS + Shred, Mk XIIIg Chainsword with Wrath + Shred, Mk II Evis with SS (Perfect Strike is ok) + Shred. Perks are just damage perks. Don't run Shroudfield due to the bug regarding revs and shroudfield, you get little value.

#

Mk XV Evis can be fine as well for it, SS + Shred is going to net you a lot of crit CDR. Some people enjoy running PS instead of SS for the XV but you don't really get numerical advantages that matter in gameplay (that's a whole 'nother discussion though) and it feels bad having an inconsistent proc on the lights.

crit dodge blessing instead, stick to bleed talent for bleed

#

and its totes servicable

#

imo anyway

fleet zealot
#

yea you can make it work

#

get riposte instead of flesh tearer

left iron
#

Uncanny isnt needed if you lean heavily into crits, just go riposte/precog if you go that route. Joshos explanation about the ADMs on crit yesterday

left iron
#

Oh no

clever zealot
#

does anyone like the other knife?

#

also bleed builds are kinda funny though

left iron
#

Bleed is ass as a damage source, the real benefit is the stuff bleed enables, like scourge for zealot, DR for ogryn etc

fleet zealot
#

if you want bleed maxxing despite it's less burst

#

go uncanny+flesh tearer

Where can I go to learn all about knife zealot?

surreal shore
#

Keep your speed going

#

Thats it

#

Push attack spam single targets

radiant nacelle
#

Which mark? Which blessings? Which perks? Which talents?

#

Is there not a knife guide out there?

surreal shore
#

There is

#

It's in the tags

radiant nacelle
#

Oh, I couldn't find it

surreal shore
#

I mean pins sorry

radiant nacelle
#

I couldn't find it in pins

surreal shore
#

There you can find what blessings to run

#

Well look at builds parts not just knife only

radiant nacelle
#

I found evis and crusher

surreal shore
#

But anyway

radiant nacelle
#

Build parts from what guide?

jaunty lava
#

There's a page for all zealot weapon

surreal shore
#

Yeah

#

That one

radiant nacelle
#

That's not really a knife guide lol

modern lintel
#

Are you asking what you want on the knife or what tree to use

jaunty lava
#

And for talents you either go for a generic crit build, or pick up some dodge talents and use shroudfield with either momentum or piety

radiant nacelle
#

All of it. I want to fully investigate how to do all things knife zealot.

#

Not like, tell me the blessings to use

vestal pine
#

you run around and stab things

jaunty lava
#

The blessings will change a bit depending on the build, but iirc uncanny is a good first option, with fleshtearer or any of the dodge blessing as 2nd. i personnally like mercy killer with crit builds but idk if that's a meme or not

vestal pine
#

its good at stabbig high health targets(elites/specials)

modern lintel
#

@radiant nacelle

radiant nacelle
#

Mark 6 over 3? Why? I guess I assumed 3 was better

modern lintel
#

Its sort of preference

jaunty lava
#

mk6 has the stab while mk3 is sweeping heavies

left iron
#

Why mercy killer instead of precog? Precog is active even on targets without bleed, is activated by doing the thing you do with knife dodging most of the time in melee and also affects crit damage

radiant nacelle
#

Does knife want to sweep? That seems not good.

ripe quest
jaunty lava
#

oops that's true

modern lintel
radiant nacelle
#

Is that for cycling F?

jaunty lava
#

Personnaly i would rather have another sweep weapon on zealot but mk6 still works well

hushed knoll
delicate shadow
#

the real answer is to just run crusher

radiant nacelle

I just want to explore knife and see how it feels first

I would just hate to get into learning KNife and realize I'm learning it wrong by not having all the data so trying to make sure I have the full picture from the experts first.

modern lintel
#

Me personally like knife a lot more on vet then zealot

radiant nacelle
#

I'm guessing Mk3 for high damage stabs is the best, but if someone has input on why sweeping heavies are cool I'm happy to listen. This is what I cooked up so far. I can change crit chance to Flak damage, and Executor to...? Precog, Uncanny, Mercy?

radiant nacelle
#

Almost entierly zealot main. I pull the vet out when I need to. Can make them a knife if I like it on zealot.

radiant nacelle
#

I'm guessing rending is better for crusher hunting. Is that Knife's best destiny? What role does knife even fill? I'm assuming speedy maintenance of problem spots on the battlefield

#

While not really helping with hordes much

modern lintel
#

I mean it can kind of do everything

radiant nacelle
#

I mean, that can be said of lots of weapons

#

So what is knife's particular brand of doing everything?

modern lintel
#

Good and single target rlly good mobility

radiant nacelle
#

Okay, so elite murder. Any thoughts on backstabs versus weak spots? Which should I care about? I feel like that influences the blessings I choose

languid rock
#

enemies are usually facing you

#

(so backstab is mostly shroudfield shenanigans)

radiant nacelle
#

Okay, that makes sense.

modern lintel
#

I mean you can build around backstab but its sort of gimmicky

languid rock
#

the weak point perk on weapons is terrible awful and no good btw avoid it

#

the bonus is applied in i think the least favorable way it possibly could be

radiant nacelle
#

I don't plan to go lacerate if that's what you mean

#

Are you suggesting precog is better?

languid rock
#

i mean the perks not the blessings

radiant nacelle
#

Oh, okay, yeah I don't plan to aim for weak spot perk

languid rock
#

oh wait that knife specifically uh

#

get uncanny strike

radiant nacelle
#

Just reading the descriptions, uncanny seems like it should be worse than precog and mercy killer both. What am I missing?

languid rock
#

and then uh... im not sure what perks to prioritize

#

so do you know how rending works

radiant nacelle
#

Haven't reread it in a long time, but what I recall is that rending is a reduction of enemy armour, which overall increases your damage.

#

Oh wait, rending is a buff on yourself, right? I'm thinking brittleness

languid rock
#

its a multiplier to damage vs anything that's not unarmored or infested

#

100% rending doubles your damage output vs most enemies iirc

radiant nacelle
#

Is Flesh Tearer good? Should I junk that?

languid rock
#

flesh tearer is BIS

radiant nacelle
#

huh, wow, okay.

languid rock
#

making people bleed is good and you'll probably be critting a lot

#

my also unfinished zealot knife

radiant nacelle
#

hmm alright

#

I'll aim for uncanny then

#

Thanks for the explanations!

languid rock
#

executor is comparable to flesh tearer i think

#

for different use cases obv

#

theres not a weapon that has uncanny strike available where i dont run it

left iron
#

ADM being armor damage modifier

languid rock
#

so do you do your unarmored damage instead

left iron
#

If your weapons unarmored ADM is 1.0, yes

languid rock
#

or does it double your damage output vs armored enemies

#

by doubling your adm

royal vortex
#

crusher, for instance, has an unarmored adm of 1.25

languid rock
#

ok so its meaningfully what i said except in 6 paragraphs instead of a sentence

radiant nacelle
#

...so uncanny is still among best knife blessings? lol

languid rock
#

idk no one jumping out is providing any info on how it typically affects a hit on an armored foe

#

just random lines about the internal math

royal vortex
#

because the math is how it works

languid rock
#

yeah but you're providing half a line in a complicated equation and going "hmmph so there."

royal vortex
#

"armored" is not a category, it applies differently to each armor type and the amount of value you get on that adm is per-weapon

left iron
royal vortex
#

100% in this context means 100% adm - so the full effect applies until you get 100% of the base damage of that weapon's attack

languid rock
#

"it doesnt double your damage it does (other thing that cannot be meaningfully interpreted)"

royal vortex
#

it is then applied as a damage boost at 1/4 the normal rate, up to a cap of 100% rending

royal vortex
#

the only thing i can meaningfully interpret from your statement is you don't know how it works

radiant nacelle
#

I've always found it easier to think of it as there is no armour in Darktide, just armour types. Flak could be called goosefeathers, carapace could be called sticksandstones, it doesn't matter. "armoured" is not a state people can be in. It's just what that body part is called, and every weapon has modifiers to different things.

royal vortex
#

which is fine, fatshark game mechanics are opaque and really fucking annoying to interpret

#

if we interpret "armored" as "carapace and flak enemies", for the combat blade you are entirely incorrect

#

the baseline cara adm before crit mods for flak on the heavies is 0.9, and for carapace 0.6

languid rock
#

is there a table of the ADMs somewhere

left iron
#

I do concede i worded it not-so-great, it is 4 am and im playing Elden Ring pepeW

radiant nacelle
#

I think there's a table of enemy unit breeds

royal vortex
#

i have one a friend made for psyker weapons (and the shared generics) but he's not done and it's attached to a personal email so i can't currently share it

languid rock
#

this is also not how i've ever heard it described before, i dont think i've ever even heard of ADMs

languid rock
#

so 100% rending on ck6 heavies does the listed damage plus 90%/4 vs flak's .9ADM

royal vortex
#

if i remember right from the pen stat you get 0.81 at 80% but idk i'd have to look at the numbers

vestal pine
#

guess that means i can actually throw away uncanny and be fine

royal vortex
vestal pine
royal vortex
#

you've probably had discussions about them, it was just like "the headhunter has bad maniac damage"

languid rock
#

is the ADM equal to the actual damage divided by the listed damage on the item card

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

you can't trust the item card

#

because it's only for the first attack in a sequence

languid rock
#

yeah but like

#

in the theory

royal vortex
#

but it should list the base damage of the first attack in each sequence

#

fatshark can also just lie. so be warned

languid rock
#

does every attack get its own ADM

royal vortex
#

each unique attack

languid rock
#

thats heinous

royal vortex
#

some have the same attack profile - generally this means they have like the same animation from the opposite end of the screen

#

for the tactical axes, though, every heavy attack is the same profile

#

this is really bizarre because the overheads and the sweep heavies are dealing the same damage

languid rock
#

fatshark list important stats challenge

vestal pine
languid rock
#

all the time

royal vortex
#

Fatshark never lies

vestal pine

the finesse stat still doesn't have the implied 1 at the start of the modifier

#

it's like 0.80 at 80% on most weapons

#

when it should say 1.80

vestal pine
#

i mean why?

#

cause like

north sedge
#

Vicious Slice was the best thing that ever happened

vestal pine
#

fatshark would divide wp damage and actual damage since thats how it works internally(+10% wp damage)

hushed knoll
vestal pine
#

stop fucking olives

languid rock
#

you can dump finesse on bully club 3bs because you lose like 1% of attack speed and the stat does nothing else

hushed knoll
royal vortex
#

there's the surface level of finesse being 3 different things from information presented to the player

hushed knoll
languid rock
royal vortex
#

and then it's also even worse if you look at the code

#

fatshark hates having identifiable variable names

spare talon
hushed knoll
#

FUCK

vestal pine
languid rock
#

yeah rashad having finesse dumped is what's ruined every one i've ever bought

hushed knoll

I got shaving cream in my ears

i give fatshark a little naming credit because they're not anglospheric

hushed knoll

I used to think FS was French Canadian

languid rock

but like... come on guys hire an american to write your english stuff

fleet zealot
#

launch psyker, your peril is actually warp charge in the code, and warp charges were called souls

royal vortex
#

what do you guys think the variable finesse_boost does

#

if you had to guess

languid rock
hushed knoll
#

Why

vestal pine
#

at least souls makes... broad sense.

languid rock

i wonder where can i watch the code

so i can make lua mods

fleet zealot
vestal pine
#

(terrible at it)

fleet zealot
#

olive garden kinda sucks to mid overall but i'd kill for the chicken soup

royal vortex
#

just kidding its a weakspot damage boost

languid rock
#

i assume people pull this game apart in IDA or something idk much about game RE

fleet zealot
#

idk what they do to it but the cream gnochi and chicken is SO Fucking good

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

despite "finesse" being the cumulative term for crit and weakspot

Only thing i can say is that the salad is good

#

The pasta dishes are always bland as fuck

left iron
#

I already knew the answer, i didnt want to spoil the fun for the others DonaldDuck

vestal pine
fleet zealot
#

when they have the lunch special i'll just go in, eat one plate of salad, and at minimum, 5 bowls of soup and some breadsticks

spare talon
#

Infinite breadsticks at the cost of ordering 1 small water

fleet zealot
royal vortex
#

there's completely unused crit modifiers for the knife in the code because the variable is named the wrong thing

north sedge
royal vortex
royal vortex
#

i don't think it comes up in gameplay very much ever outside of crit adm boosting

languid rock
#

ive never been to an olive garden it's never made geographic sense

vestal pine
#

i assume noone actually found what they were doing

fleet zealot
#

it saves them like 10c on both not using salt and not having to worry about pots wearing down too fast

languid rock
#

i would like to eat an infinite amount of breadsticks

royal vortex
#

for some reason the game has crit adm boosts and not workspot

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

very sad stuff

hushed knoll
fleet zealot
#

get a lunch sized dish or just do the Soup+Salad unlimited lunch which is like... 9$ where i live

languid rock
#

"piece of code is inert because a variable is named wrong" is an all time coding classic

royal vortex
#

the variable being named wrong isn't the worst part of why the crit boost doesn't work

vestal pine
languid rock
#

and they dont have GCC or whatever to compile away the dead code to hide it

royal vortex
#

the variable name is the correct one for a crit boost but there's a separate variable name for a crit boost inside or outside of the target list

#

and they use the wrong one

royal vortex
#

like knife crit heavies having 1.15 flak adm and 1.75 unyielding

#

but it's entirely weapon dependent and in most cases is just for carapace

vestal pine
#

thats why crit knife works without uncanny. hm

#

i mean sounds reasonable

#

fatshark just puts 2 types: carapace and non-carapace

royal vortex
#

the problem with it is when you have automatic weapons with crit strings of 4+ and a moderate amount of crit chance

#

probably shouldnt be so easy to shoot crushers with a columnus

vestal pine
#

gunpsyker brrrt

languid rock
#

i still dont know how bonuses to cleave work, and why savage sweep is rarely as good as it sounds

#

it might be a combination of cleave caps and weapons already cleaving almost as many enemies as they can hit?

royal vortex
#

it just changes the amount of targets you can hit. once you start hitting absurd numbers like 20+ cleave it only really matters for staggering elites in most cases

vestal pine
#

savage sweep needs to hit 3 targets to activate and something like vase dclaw light doesn't cleave 3 bruisers

royal vortex
#

since the minimum cleave damage on weapons is normally hit by targets 4-5

languid rock
#

oh it doesnt affect the damage curve

#

that is a good explanation

royal vortex
#

there was one blessing that did

#

but it was bugged and gave +impact while saying it was damage on successive cleaved enemies

#

they just changed the tooltip to impact

#

vicious slice was murdered

languid rock
#

lol

#

power does technically

vestal pine
#

so thats why it was there

#

i wondered why vicious slice was fucking bad

#

when trauma exists

#

or hammerblow

#

🤡

languid rock
#

i wish weapons listed cleave stats

royal vortex
#

any +damage boost applies to every cleaved target it's just like, an extra 40% on 30 min cleave damage is kinda struggling

languid rock
#

i might have to use the damn breakpoint calculator to check

royal vortex
#

yeah that's one of those things you'd think would be in the game but isn't

#

same with weapon falloff (unless your gun has a range stat)

vestal pine
languid rock
#

like is a chainsword with rampage cleaving good already? does it need more help? im probably not going to buy cs rampage 4 off melk because its 3k and new weapons are dropping

#

but its something youd think would be answerable

#

i dont think theres even a mod

vestal pine
#

idk light has not the best cleave

#

so i use wrath

languid rock
#

chainsword is the one i feel like might get mileage

royal vortex
#

so like, every weapon in the game has its finesse modifier decrease as you go down the cleave targets list

#

except the chainsword

languid rock
#

huh

vestal pine
languid rock
#

so more linear drop on a big head sweep

royal vortex
#

yeah or crit

languid rock
#

thats real interesting

royal vortex
#

i don't really play it cuz i cannot stand any chain weapons but @south folio was having the problem where he was killing stuff to maintain scourge on a crit chainsword build

vestal pine
#

perfect strike is quite funny

languid rock
#

i cant think of who i'd be playing chainswords on but do people mostly run like shred wrath crit cs? new or old mark?

vestal pine
#

i dont like new mark

royal vortex
#

you can do savage sweep + shred or rampage on mk4, mk13g you have to go wrath over savage

vestal pine
#

its just elfsword vt2 but chain

#

it has lot more single target damage tho

royal vortex
#

either one works it's just a bit of a difference in whether or not you want to use heavies (mk4) or light spam (mk13) for horde clear

languid rock
#

that crit property makes it sound like shreds mandatory

#

i should run it on gunker lol

north sedge
#

i miss beta chainsword where it was just a really shitty club unless you revved it

vestal pine
#

mk4 light has decent horde clear if you're zealot from my experience

languid rock
#

gaze and go crazy with the chainsword

royal vortex
#

i think you have to take blazing piety to make it worth more than rampage

vestal pine
north sedge
#

chainsword has the fastest horde clear in the game

royal vortex
#

talentless w/ just blessings iirc rampage still outperforms it but it's been a while since i've looked at any breakdowns

north sedge
#

chaxe actually kills things

#

beta chainsword didnt

languid rock
#

that's proabably true gaze isnt up often enough

vestal pine
languid rock
#

chax is for whack a mole

vestal pine
#

instead of a kinda wierd hammer we have as a chaxe

languid rock
#

the whole thing is so goofy

#

but it cuts ogryn in half

north sedge
#

beta chainsword you had to hit a dude like 8 times, like trash enemies

vestal pine
#

so chaxe

#

would you run thrust or nah

languid rock
#

would it boost the shred

#

that would be funny

#

REV IT HARDER

vestal pine
#

well chaxe doesnt have shred p sure

fleet zealot
languid rock
#

chaxe doesnt have shred? lmao i havent used one since before skills patch

vestal pine
#

koreans are pointing guns at eachother to see who's d*** is larger

vestal pine
#

well he is in

#

but hes still an outcast

languid rock
vestal pine
#

has different opinions than majority

languid rock
#

i can only assume thrust doesnt boost it

fleet zealot
#

mk4 can hit stagger/power BPs that mk12 can't for cleaving, as well as having a better push attack imo

fleet zealot
vestal pine
languid rock
#

thats funny as hell

vestal pine
fleet zealot
#

mk12 can get consistent crusher BPs off it since it's a straight vertical swing

#

stabby PA does a buttload of damage but like

languid rock
#

full thrust charge, then hit and do the crit tech, cut monstro in half

fleet zealot
#

you already have heavies for it, generally, i value push attacks that do good in following up the space creation you want while doing a push

vestal pine
fleet zealot
#

or something like knife where it is a massive dps investment

#

ht slaugt combo is just infinitely better on mk4

#

get punishment and you can bully mauler packs with your heavies and push attacks it's brutal

vestal pine
fleet zealot
#

sheer brute forcing i've only ever found on the crusher

fleet zealot
#

it's like crucis without the pay off and you have to wait longer for the animation

vestal pine
#

i think thrust can oneshot crushers with rev heavy on marty

#

thats about it tho

ornate bone
#

how many meters redius is coherency by default

fleet zealot
#

yea but mk4 also has the light spam tech

#

so unless you go thrust and force yourself to use it, lights do about the same dps for less stagger and better safety

vestal pine
#

"but muh oneshots" probably

#

idk he use it to power up normal heavies for hordeclear

#

which is

#

why?

fleet zealot
#

simply having stacks built up, martyr on

vestal pine
#

i have a decent thrust/slaughterer mk12

maiden path

whats ur guys favorite elemental power

chaxe revs can't cleave

#

it's not an evi

vestal pine
#

not rev heavy

fleet zealot
#

but

vestal pine
#

the mk4

fleet zealot
#

thrust is never worth it for hordeclear

vestal pine
#

not mk12

fleet zealot
#

especially cause you want to be weaving push attacks

vestal pine
#

anyhoo he's quite an outcast, has his own build for everything
better than me but genuinely idk

fleet zealot
#

hammer doesn't use thrust for horde clear, it's always better for that situation to just throw faster heavies

just go heavy sword

BM/DB, 4 kills, one swing, complete faster

with swift certainity you are going to go fast asf anyways

gaunt yacht

dodge farther stamina regen quicker and speed increase

i need to craft a hsword that has cleave heavy on first swing

gaunt yacht
#

high weakness damage stacking with bleed proc off crit or lacerate has been my fav so far

fleet zealot
gaunt yacht
#

is that the chainsword?

fleet zealot
#

hsword is heavy sword, fleshtearer is the knife blessing idk who specifically you were asking that too

ornate bone
#

do backstab headhots still count?

vestal pine
#

i dont see why it wouldnt

ornate bone
#

idk i dont understand how backstabs work in this game

#

they're different from game to game

vestal pine
#

just hit them from 180% back

ornate bone
#

oh easy then

vestal pine
#

enemy rolling and showing "back" doesnt count since they are interally still forward i believe

#

least thats how i interpret it

fleet zealot
#

backstab is just the back half of their body

fleet zealot
vestal pine
#

they do?

fleet zealot

Yes
