boltpistol has some funky blessings

#

i need to try the parry blessing on shock maul

sturdy knoll
#

gonna be my new favorite zealot ranged weapon

solar gorge
#

sounds fun on paper

sturdy knoll
#

seems pretty good in the psykanium, but that doesnt always translate well to in-game

prisma sigil
#

Bro theres no fucking way

mental coral
#

Hello zealot chat, long time since I ran darktide, how game this update

prisma sigil
#

I -JUST- got home and I only rolled FOUR of these

north sedge
#

Crit cdr is capped to one a swing

ashen quartz
mental coral
#

aye yo? crit CDR isn't cheesy now?

ornate bone
mental coral
prisma sigil
ashen quartz
mental coral
#

🤔

#

wait wait

#

psyker finally has shotgun again?

#

holy shit gun psyker

frosty herald
#

yes

#

the double barrel can be built like a doom shotgun

ornate bone
#

wonder whatl be best of em

#

the pistol seemed kinda nice

obsidian ore
#

Scourge talent is not working in some conditions, needs testing

ornate bone
#

wait there new talents too?

north sedge
#

No

ripe quest
obsidian ore
#

Scourge doesn't seem to stack up sometimes

#

Even when you're %100 hitting a bleeding enemy repeatedly

#

Tested with Eviscerator and Devil's Claw sword

#

No buffs for scourge

#

no stacks after repeated crits

#

even if the other crit related blessing do work

vast basin
#

How about in a real game though? Psyk is not to be trusted

obsidian ore
#

In the real game it's not working as well

#

noticed in game

#

that's why testing in psyk

#

Lacerate and flesh tearer does work

#

thunderhammer doesn't seem to be working either

vast basin
#

So basically a weapon needs a bleed blessing for scourge to work right now?

obsidian ore
#

As far as I can tell, needs more testing %100

#

Maybe its a UI issue but doesnt feel like it

#

you are not critting enough

mental coral
#

Holy shit

vast basin
#

Yep

#

Crit cdr also gutted to one proc per swing

obsidian ore
#

Flesh tearer is working as you can see

ornate bone
obsidian ore
#

look at th estacks

ancient ivy
#

I'm sad that small power maul doesn't have a shield, give us Zealots a shield damnit

north sedge
#

CDR has been a huge balance issue for a long time

mental coral
#

What blessings I want on shotgun btw?

sturdy knoll
#

THE BOLT PISTOL FEELS SOOO GOOOOOOOOOD

radiant nacelle
vast basin
radiant nacelle
#

Ohhh

fervent geode
#

Pals is invocation of death has bug now? It seems like the crit cooldown only applies once

radiant nacelle
#

Yeah that's a big deal, huh

#

Ty

vast basin
fervent geode
#

So it has bug nowSitgryn

vast basin
#

Probably intended

radiant nacelle
#

Or it's an intended change

fervent geode
#

But

#

There is no word about in patch note

vast basin
#

That doesn't mean shit

radiant nacelle
#

It's fatshark man

vast basin
#

It's fs

radiant nacelle
#

Get on the train

ember yew
fervent geode
#

um...

mental coral
#

A decent amount of people thought crit CDR was unbalanced as shit and should've had an internal cooldown a while back

so maybe its intended

ornate bone
#

grrrr shatfark

north sedge
#

Intended

misty nova
#

And no notes smh

vast basin
#

It does hurt to have these two nerfs on the same patch

radiant nacelle
#

But hey they fixed point blank

ember yew
#

yeah, now procs per enemy

#

just went to test

radiant nacelle
#

Revolver life can be fully realized

ember yew
#

zealot really got a lot of nerfs huh

#

and shit talents are still shit

#

sadly

obsidian ore
#

It's inconsistent what's happening with Scourge, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn'T

radiant nacelle
#

Nah not really a lot of nerfs

obsidian ore
#

I've no idea what exactly is going on with Scourge so it needs more testing, lmk if you do some

radiant nacelle
#

The cdr one is very significant imo but the fotf one is not that big of a deal

fleet zealot
#

ehh, we knew it was happen, they were overtuned

ember yew
radiant nacelle
#

That's like all thAt happened lol

ember yew
#

maybe there's something else i forgot

radiant nacelle
#

Brutal momentum isn't a zealot nerf

ember yew
#

it does impact zealot though

north sedge
#

🤔

radiant nacelle
#

Hammer impact is very whatever I doubt it'll do much in practical play. But sure call it a nerf I guess

frail belfry
#

Crit cdr (if intended) just makes knife better

north sedge
#

🤔

vast basin
#

No it doesn't?

ember yew
vast basin
#

Unless you mean better compared to other Crit weps

frail belfry
#

i do.

vast basin
#

But all Crit weps were effectively nerfed

#

So yeah it's better, but not really

frail belfry
#

yeah, but essentially knife is now 5% ult back per swing, instead of 10, wheras new evis for example went from 50-100 ult back per swing to 5

#

(assuming enough shit to cleave through)

north sedge
#

🤔

radiant nacelle
#

I think a better way to look at it is faster swinging weapons aren't as impacted as slower swinging weapns

sterile stone
#

Why are there so many barrels in this got damn mission

radiant nacelle
#

Again making attack speed incredible in Tide games

frail belfry
#

mmhmm

ember yew
#

your teammates

ashen quartz
#

new situational awareness farm spot

ripe quest
#

From the sounds of it, internal CD for crit CDR was set to 1.5s.

radiant nacelle
#

So every 1.5s you can recover 1.5s of your cooldown back?

ember yew
#

i just tested it with a knife

obsidian ore
sterile basalt
#

That means you get attacks that have 0 proc

ashen quartz
#

am I missing something or is it not worth running a saul over a crusher on zealot besides the novelty factor

steep flame
#

thank you brunt for giving me a decent one off the bat

vast basin
radiant nacelle
#

Lol what happened to crusher?

vast basin
#

AS reduced I believe

radiant nacelle
#

Oh right I read that earlier

#

Do we know by how much?

frosty herald
#

Imagine how goated the new bolt pistol would be if lethal proximity and the bleed blessing synergized

ashen quartz
#

i thought they nerfed the crusher enemy type attack speed

radiant nacelle
ashen quartz
#

I don't think they touched the crusher weapon at all looking at the patch notes with ctrl-F

sterile basalt
radiant nacelle
vast basin
#

Well I could be wrong as I haven't tried it yet

ashen quartz
#

true

vast basin
#

I'm just parroting what I've read

manic token
#

so crit cdr talent only worth on stuff like knife and tac axe now? :[

radiant nacelle
#

Any crusher mains can comment on how it feels?

ashen quartz
#

feels about the same in the psykanium but the psykanium is weird sometimes

frozen crystal
#

Someone in psyker chat just tried it and confirmed

radiant nacelle
#

Yeah it really is

#

Psykers can't use crushers

frozen crystal
#

Well, as confirmed ad you can get with someone saying it haha

maiden path
#

its billy joel tuesday

bold dirge
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

frozen crystal
#

He was testing that out as a zealot

#

Azrael was saying the things about crusher nerf. In vet chat

vast basin
#

Hmm he is usually a trustworthy source

ashen quartz
#

oh my god it feels so weird now

vast basin
#

Rip crusher then Sitgryn

frosty herald
#

the ogryn pickaxe has the billhook special

#

pulls enemies in

vast basin
#

And now my stealth caxe build can't one hit 4 crushers at once Sitgryn

woeful pecan
maiden path
#

and u gotta play ogryn........

prisma sigil
#

Ogryn is based

median steeple
#

god what happened to the plasteel drops

#

used to getting 600 every game now its down to 300-400

frosty herald
#

Btw

#

Ogryns got eyelashes now

#

And theyre VERY noticable

prisma sigil
#

I have to confess

median steeple
prisma sigil
#

The new maul and bolt pistol feel very mid

frosty herald
#

No joke look at ogryn now

median steeple
#

Oh my god

#

holy shit yeah they didn't have them before

spare talon
#

I love coming back from the patch notes from a "aw damn" nerf with punishment and "a second nerf has hit the zealot sir" with fotf
But now learning that secretly crusher and crit cdr was nerfed
fumble

hushed badge
ashen quartz
#

the crusher feels downright glacial now

median steeple
#

Sir there's been a second zealot nerf

spare talon
median steeple
#

aight back to bolt pistol gaming

#

Im too poor to roll a double barrel

spare talon
#

Crit cdr nerf really telling me I shouldn't go piety anymore with dclaw and suck it up with momentum

radiant nacelle
#

Yeah I might switch over to momentum

#

That's all I used piety for anyway tbh

#

But momentum isn't bad or anythkng

frosty herald
#

Theres a power maul vet

#

Nature is healing

spare talon
#

Certainly not
But 15-25% crit chance is not really worth the points now, esp when you can already have scourge and shred for 50% without much investment

woeful pecan
#

What a shame. Endless charging was so much fun

radiant nacelle
#

You'll still charge plenty I suspect

#

Just not every swing anymore lol

spare talon
#

Knives aren't really affected TOO much by it though, neither are tac axes, but who's fucking using tac aces

manic token
#

so now chastise + right keystone that i forgot the name of seems like the play? i guess you get the movement speed/dodge ranged while sprinting talent too if you go that route

So wait is eviscerator dead
My friend is telling me since the changes to the zealot tree it kinda is

radiant nacelle
buoyant pewter
#

I was running fotf with BP side

spare talon
#

I'm sure if you actually look at how many swings it takes against 1 enemy, it's really not that meaningful outside of really high atk speed

radiant nacelle
#

Holy shit gamers. A change that reduces effectiveness does not mean dead lmao

buoyant pewter
#

Yk what I’ll just send my build

lmao is scourge not stacking correctly now

You just said evis is dead

whats the best melee perks for zealot?

I asked

I haven’t even started playing yet

radiant nacelle

Oh, I didn't see a question mark lol

ashen quartz
# spare talon What

it might just be the tooltip but i'm not seeing stacks increment properly in the psykanium (but I know the psykanium can be odd sometimes)

radiant nacelle
#

Evis is not dead, but it's cool down cycling strength is kneecapped

#

But it's not dead

Don't lose your darn mind over someone crying

I play warframe and I’ve seen Reddit

spare talon
#

I am a little peeved about the fotf nerf tho, there isn't much zealot has to deal with armor unless you explicitly use anti-armor weapons

misty nova
#

Evis is not dead, now the enemies hit by the Evis....

ember yew
spare talon
#

And it still required an ability use too

ember yew

but i bet crit CDR will be a surprise for many MK15 enjoyers

buoyant pewter
radiant nacelle
#

Fotf will be fine imo

median steeple
#

most people used it for the ranged buffs it gave

celest sail
#

Are you certain?

spare talon
#

The crit cdr nerf is definitely justified but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it lmao
It was just too fun

median steeple
#

but it's still gonna be incredibly useful

radiant nacelle
#

Lol no most people used fotf for dash and toughness healing

Using it for the ranged thing specifically is bonkers

furying mid chain rev animation still one shot crushers? pls say yes i loved it so much

What happened to crusher?

ember yew
spare talon

#

Hammerblow seems to be the play with the new shock mauls, your overheads will cause crushers, bulwarks, reapers and berserkers to stagger, allowing you to bash them with skullcrusher stacks

spare talon

i wish they would have just capped the crit cdr you could receive to like 3 enemies at a time to atleast give a reason to run cleave weapons but it is what it is

I'm going to be bitter these next few days cuz fatshark basically nerfed my favorite things kys

that 3.3 rounds up quite a bit

Double barrel blessing for fun

Chain sword is a must

tired kindle
#

so they nerfed crit cooldown to on swing from critical hits? BOOOOOOO

sterile basalt

Maybe a bit overboard cuz now it scales atk speed more than cleave

U don’t gain notable new breakpoints by charging thrust

would this be gud on zealot?

Aside from stealth nerfs cuz why would they ever know about those
Reddit seems to be on the same page as us, surprisingly

I haven't heard any other wolfer dialogue out of the carnival missions and the other chasm mision

never had it

I'm gonna have to do the weeding process too for mods

@merry flume what mods so far did end up breaking stuff

merry flume

there's something that freezes my game then disconnects me after 30 seconds of the same frame

nvm it is old

just never heard it even tho that missions is my most played

i think i deleted any crosshair mods

The stun baton feels nice buuuuuut

we're all gonna make it

uhhhh, for the new boltpistol

Anybody knows if High Voltage on the new maul works on shock animation, or do they need the dot from the special?

delicate horizon
#

is collateral important?

solar gorge
#

probably not

delicate horizon
#

can I dump it?

#

like 40% dump

solar gorge
#

but dumpstats are likely mobility and stability

delicate horizon
#

uhh stability?

solar gorge
#

yeah

delicate horizon
#

thought would be important to not end aiming at the moon

#

alright alright

median steeple
#

just dump mobility on the bolt pistol and I have like 80 stabil on mine and you still hit the moon

placid fiber
#

Stability isn't as important on some weapons

median steeple
#

it doesn't matter all that much

merry flume

i feel like stealth smaul would actually kinda slap

median steeple

I loaded into a mission and appeared back on the morningstar???

#

what the fuck game

solar gorge
#

i had forgotten how it feels to spam brunt to get good rolls

merry flume

at least playing a backstab playstyle would work because you have the special to stun enemies

So, is the bolt pistol as bad as it seems at face value when I'm trying it out in the meatgrinder? I'm honestly not even wanting to bring it into a mission to find out because it seems like it can't kill anything in a reasonable number of bullets. It doesn't even kill a pox walker with a direct hit unless it's a crit or headshot?

bro has 1% on the dmg roll

it could be psyk being an ass again

delicate horizon
#

for the boltpistol perks just go with flak and maniac?

ripe quest
#

If you hate the pullout on Boltgun then Boltpistol is good. It does the same damage as Boltgun, so just hit heads. The ADS sight sucks ass as per usual for Boltguns but it only comes up when moving or rapid firing.

median steeple
#

but it should oneshot chaff and deal with specials/elites in reasonable amount of bullets

north sedge

can one shot human elites

are you shooting playdoh?

I never used it for that anyway

so i guess idc

ancient ivy
#

I mostly run shrowd

royal vortex
#

also. holy fuck these pickaxes

#

the branx is going to make me have an aneurysm

ancient ivy
#

ikr they're massive

royal vortex
#

the h2 has a HUGE delay from the end of the attack to when you can input the next light

#

this is bad

opaque island
#

magdumping my bolter down a halway filled with a horde, might not be the most optimal use, but the hallway being filled with bloodmist, makes it worth it

median steeple
#

so are picks the standard single target, horde, and what teh fuck is this used for? line up

misty nova
#

Isn't branx the heavy one, that might be intentional, no?

royal vortex
#

it has notably better chain timing for the horde combo

ancient ivy
#

my teammates watching limbs fly as this Zealot rat with a knife just cuts down Heretics in the hallway

median steeple
#

is the single target pick close or better than the shovel?

merry flume
royal vortex
#

it's not even like it queues it up and then takes the same amount of time

#

it just doesn't register it as an input

misty nova
#

So it's H2 into a light? I might test it later

loud compass
#

so, what's the role for the bolt pistol then? it seems alright for headshot crits, but I'd hope that a bolt pistol is for more than that, especially considering it's terrible recoil and lack of anything more than an ironsight

It seems to fill a similar role as the bolter, but with lower fire rate and a faster reload

i hope the pick delay thing isn't too bad because big damage is appealing

There was a lot of build variety that zealots had because of the chastise ranged rending. Braced autoguns could be paired with heavy sword and feel good to run in most situations. It wasn't optimal but it could do just fine at the highest difficulties and felt fun. There was build variety there.

Running heavy sword without bolter or zarona is going to feel pretty shitty. Not having a good answer for crusher patrols on your own makes pulling clutches with non optimal stuff so much harder.

It wasn't broken. It was a calculated risk to blow your charge like that for a burst of damage.

Flamer was in a fine spot too, it took a lot of investment to still kill crushers with 2 chastise uses.

I cant imagine why I would want to take agri braced auto anymore if its going to always be total dogshit at armor like that.

The quickdraw revolver had a nice spot too before that. It could kill 2-3 crushers sometimes with an ult and could fill in as boss dps and armor clear.

It just feels like there was a ton of build flexibility that zealot had thats going to feel way worse now because they took out that option. Zealot felt incredible to play and so many weapon combos that could work and feel both effective and fun to run. Now a useful and imo not at all broken tool has just been snatched from the toolbox.

Theres plenty of stuff that still works fine. Plenty of great ways to play, but a lot are going to also feels like shit too

I'm not saying that you have to have a headshot weapon to bother going for headshots, but that if you're making a headshot specific weapon, it shouldn't have stupid amounts of recoil, preventing follow up shots for a couple of seconds. If you miss the headshot on the first shot with the bolt pistol, then it takes another couple of seconds to line up another headshot, or it takes 3 body shots

Id not care so much if there were changes to make some of the other options not entirely useless against carapace. When there are a lot of melee weapons that tickle it and also a lot of ranged weapons that tickle it naturally forces a meta. Cool we have revolver and bolter. Goodbye variety. If they buffed numbers on the other options before removing it then sure, whatever. Figure out the new stuff.

But they didn't. Hell they cited the rending as a reason why they changed the flamer before. So they balanced around this unintended feature once, but didnt do it again when removing it

3/4 of the weapons added are capable of anti-Carapace. There are a grand sum of weapons that handle it, Fury of the Faithful still gives your melee weapon the armor downgrade, allowing weapons that shouldn't be able to handle Cara an opportunity to do so. With how strong our characters are, you'd be hard-pressed to find a lobby that outright cannot deal with Cara unless it was an uncommunicated smitten lobby from the emperor himself.

Sure, there are options. Thats not really my point. My point is that there were fun builds that are going to feel really shitty to play now. There was no reason to fuck over that many options when they weren't breaking the game. Because of how those ranged weapons deal with carapace it will mean you either feel useless in scenarios taking them or you have to run certain melee weapons every time. There was a trade off in using your ult to burst down a few armored enemies. It wasn't an instant win button.

Yes the class hasn't been nerfed into the gutter. But there are less fun builds now that feel effective

mrw nerfing something causes things to feel worse: explode

It was an unhealthy balance point that shouldn't have existed in the first place, FotF had too much going for it that the other two ults were being often disregarded in higher play since they were mainly used gimmicks or niches. Zealot is already an insanely easy class to build, it has a multitude of potent damage melee options and it really didn't need the ability to make any ranged weapon capable of handling Carapace, especially when there are already ranged weapons that can do that.
