[coarse birch]

so i didnt spend 800 billion plasteel as expected

[split canyon]

I haven't gotten lucky with hammers yet. But I haven't been rolling them.

[coarse birch]

dclaw was also painful

thank you 40000 impact blessings

[north sedge]

theres a pin with blessings, you just need blaze away on that and replace crit dmg with flak

if you happen to roll blaze naturally, change carapace too

[royal vortex]

flesh tearer lacerate

@north sedge provide me the source of that name

[north sedge]

#zealot-class message

[royal vortex]

amazing.

recessed dbruirid whsuwar

[coarse birch]

damn must have missed that

[north sedge]

sex swarched

[torn yoke]

am I clinically insane for using this combo

[frozen glen]

show us the blessings

[torn yoke]

in other words, anvil on head

[frozen glen]

id swap out sprint eff and all or nothing for flak and shred/decimator

[coarse birch]

the weapon combo is reasonable but the blessings and what not are insane

[vestal harness]

Ogryn Said I should ask what this is

[royal vortex]

a kazoo

[frozen glen]

kazoo ball gag

it's three kazoos

stupid josho

[vestal harness]

To make more noise during sexo?

[royal vortex]

you should never try to defy me when i'm obviously wrong

this is a losing game for u buddy

i've been in an argument for like 4 years about how many walls a hypothetical room has

[frozen glen]

is it 6

[torn yoke]

1 to 10 in insanity rating

[royal vortex]

it's 1

[frozen glen]

whats your reasoning

[vestal harness]

Are you threathing me shouty?

[frozen glen]

well i guess its actually 4 walls 1 floor and 1 ceiling

[royal vortex]

they are all connected

[coarse birch]

why would your room have 1 wall

[royal vortex]

imagine u have a piece of paper

and u fold it into a cube

[coarse birch]

thats not how walls work

[royal vortex]

it is still 1 continuous object

[coarse birch]

the wall isnt just wrapped around

yeah except your wrapping one object with paper

with a wall you have seperate objects

they just become connected

[royal vortex]

then why are the walls connected

checkmate

it's 1 object

[frozen glen]

is this what you meant by skill wall

[coarse birch]

because you put the walls together

[royal vortex]

the skill stairway to heaven

[coarse birch]

and they start seperate

[royal vortex]

you will never win

[coarse birch]

i will never lose

[left iron]

[royal vortex]

false

[coarse birch]

unless your hypothetical room uses different walls than the real world

[left iron]

I refuse to believe you have a Stan level take

[coarse birch]

its not one wall

unless you are living in a 2d space

[royal vortex]

i'm the master of summoning pointless arguments out of thin air

i just use my power sparingly

[torn yoke]

can't remember where I acquired the boltgun I currently use

[royal vortex]

because people threaten to kill me

when i do it

[frozen glen]

if i was over the age of 40 i'd be doing a misogynist joke about now

[torn yoke]

my mind bets that I absentmindedly got it from melk but

[royal vortex]

wow

a loss for diversity

[frozen glen]

dont talk to me until ive had my coffee

[coarse birch]

its 1:30

whats the holdup

[frozen glen]

i dont live in amerikamaland

[coarse birch]

hm

valid

[rocky marsh]

you know the line

[split canyon]

I have mixed feelings

I am tempted to Space Cowboy

[ember yew]

this is a vet weapon

[split canyon]

It's from Milk man on my Zealot
My vet is still only level 20 or so.

[spare talon]

I sleep for like 5 hours and I wake up to 7 pings here and half of them involve me preaching zealot gospel sometimes with an edit of me as a pastor

And one of them referring to me naked

[elfin steppe]

I finally see zealot's value when a Psyker chased by a chaos spawn for three minutes straight.

[north sedge]

ah so you took advantage of that backstab node then

[elfin steppe]

no. I just go head-on with any monstrosities.

[north sedge]

it's ok to admit that you hit a butt sometimes

[quartz silo]

I hope stealth zealot gets changed at some point. It’s so fun to play but so boring to have on your team

[hushed agate]

Wdym?

Are you referring to the loner aura?

[merry flume]

refering to most people who play stealth zealot

using shroud for the disengage and not the massive damage bonus

[unique radish]

I have literally never run knife Zealot, but this just dropped as a gift of the Emperor and I figure fuck it why not give it a try. Is there anything I should change to make it work properly?

[elfin steppe]

I'm not even using any right-side talent nodes.

[merry flume]

change block eff to flak, you have a few choices to replace lacerate

[north sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/adventure-time-jake-the-dog-butt-bongo-booty-dance-gif-22273436

[quartz silo]

I really like playing it and I think it’s strong but it’s just not enjoyable for the team quite often

[elfin steppe]

Besides, The only monstrosities you want to do backstab is beast of nurgle

[unique radish]

My stickerbook for the knife is pretty limited because I never use the thing

[merry flume]

you can go riposte

wait no lmao

i would play the crafting rng to try to get riposte

or uncanny strike

then put it on there

it sucks because lacerate is actually dumb and useless

why would you ever not be hitting heads with the "hitting heads" weapon

[unique radish]

I guess in theory it works well with Mercy Killer

Hit someone in the body with a quick light and then smack them in the head with an empowered heavy

[merry flume]

crit rate so high on zealot that you'd probably just end up doing less damage overall because both hits could have been on weakspots

[unique radish]

Probably

And like... just run Scourge lmao

[merry flume]

yeah scourge kind of invalidates lacerate because you can just ramp up with one crit attack on something stronger than a groaner

plus flesh tearer headshots do so much damage

gotta remember ur doing a weakspot crit AND 10 bleed stacks at the same time

it gets you real close to oneshotting maulers and shit

or maybe that's ogryn aura that helps me with that

[unique radish]

Dang, there's a knife with Riposte 4 in my psyker's store but I lack the melkbucks for it

[merry flume]

idk im not like a numbers guy i play the game entirely based on muscle memory and vibes

did you do your weeklies yet

[unique radish]

Not yet, if I grind out for a few hours I should be able to get it before the store rolls over

[merry flume]

don't worry

the rng grind will be over soon™️

™️

[unique radish]

™️

[spare talon]

Stealth for disengage is fine if you really fuck up (which is what the people you're talking about do often) or repositioning to obliterate everything with a flamer

[merry flume]

i hate stealth disengage unless im the last alive because 90% of the time it means you just get stuck in 20900000000 poxwalkers

they run past you and you gotta weave through the crowd

or even worse

1 single poxwalker

[spare talon]

But ofc it's always best for the damage

[merry flume]

im starting to warm up to the mk3

it feels so much more consistent

[spare talon]

Same here

I like both just as much tbh

[merry flume]

yeah it kinda sucks in hordes but ive mastered the horde weave

love how fast the special heavy is on it

i can machine gun damage

[spare talon]

The mk6 just is significantly deal with them much faster

[merry flume]

until mixed horde then it becomes a whiff machine

unless you pushstab

(actually the best mk6 attack)

if it didn't have the stab it would actually suck poop

i hate the mk3's pushstab

it does damage yeah but it looks fucking dumb that attack would not do that much damage to anything but your wrist 😭

https://tenor.com/view/wrist-broken-broken-wrist-ouch-dead-pool-gif-12268963

[spare talon]

When I'm using the mk6 I find myself missing the consistent stabs
When I'm using the mk3 I find myself missing the vague idea of horde clear as I'm slowly whittling away a tiny group one by one with each light

[spare talon]

So true

[median steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/killed-em-hold-this-stabbed-gif-14017151

[elfin steppe]

I felt like every enemy was on my ass in the last area.

[spare talon]

This mission is brutal for no reason

I swear the ai are more evil on this map specifically

[elfin steppe]

it was not even the shock troop condition

[ember yew]

when i was on HISTG there today, it was like a full shotgun squad spawn every 10 seconds or so in the last phase, like wtf

[fleet zealot]

variant 3 will fix it

[jolly venture]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[neat igloo]

is it just me or did they dramatically change how avoiding gunner shots via sprinting works?

[ornate bone]

This is why I'm self-sufficient

[torn yoke]

not even at least a krak user?

[spare talon]

When they release it in 2038

[neat igloo]

you used to be able to avoid shots by sprinting away from gunners

now you can't

[solar gorge]

game designers quit before releasing the variant that will fix this weapon class for real this time

[neat igloo]

the angle at which sprinting causes you to dodge has been dramatically tightened

[fleet zealot]

that's why you don't buff your team fi you can't handle everything first

maybe? i don't remember seeing a fix for it but the intention was that you can sprint perpindicular from gunners and avoid fire

running directly away makes no sense as to suddenly making all their shots miss

[hushed agate]

I haven't noticed anything

[neat igloo]

you basically can't do the cute "i run at the gunner but don't look at him" thing anymore either

[fleet zealot]

🤷

[hushed agate]

Just slide

[neat igloo]

go into the psykanarium and try to do the thing

[fleet zealot]

pretty sure the reaper circling still works

[neat igloo]

you can't anymore

i don't think anyone noticed because no one actually uses that mechanic to dodge bullets

everyone just slides

but the mechanic works fundamentally differently than how it used to

and is much less effective now

[fleet zealot]

idk what you mean tbh record a video

[spare talon]

I thought they increased they angle somewhat recently

But you're right I don't notice cuz I'm sliding anyway

[unique radish]

After playing the crafting RNG a bit I got Executor, which is at the very least better than Lacerate

[fleet zealot]

executor is more reliable on mk6 tbh

but that looks aight

[neat igloo]

the video would just be me running directly away from a reaper and getting shot, which didn't used to happen

[torn yoke]

remind me that there's a penance about dodging reaper magdumps by sprinting

and it seems barely possible to do so

[neat igloo]

you're right, it makes more sense this way, and i'm not unhappy about the nerf, i just think it's funny that a fundamental mechanic was changed and as far as i can tell no one noticed cause no one actually used it

[fleet zealot]

wdym barely possible

swift certainity does it for free

[neat igloo]

a side effect from this change though means that even horizontal sprinting is much less effective

[fleet zealot]

pretty sure any +3 stam curio user can do that as well

[neat igloo]

because you seem to easily dip out of what the game considers "horizontal"

[spare talon]

Keep going for that riposte or uncanny
You will get it

[unique radish]

Riposte 4 is sitting in my psyker's melkstore I just need the funny money

[lean flicker]

Should I get the Tigris Mk II or Mk XV

[spare talon]

if you can get enough before reset, absolutely go for it

Riposte precog is a goated combo

[unique radish]

The Mark II is stronger IIRC but the Mark XV has easier combos

[lean flicker]

I'm using the Crusher but it just doesn't feel remotely satisfying

[lean flicker]

I see

What's the combo for II

[spare talon]

Mk 2 is a better generalist and mk15 is easier to use but only excels at single target

[lean flicker]

Alright, Mk II it is, ty

[spare talon]

I personally don't know the combos for the mk2 tho sorry

[elfin steppe]

sorey

[unique radish]

The 2 has to combine its lights and heavies for its movesets while the 15 can spam lights for horde clear and heavies for single target. It's not hard to learn, but I sometimes have input lag with melee weapons so I prefer the 15 personally

[elfin steppe]

im the one rare MkXV user

[unique radish]

I'm a weirdo though, I've preferred the Mk4 chainaxe to basically every other melee in Zealot's arsenal since the game dropped

[spare talon]

The crusher is a combo heavy weapon, but is still effective right out of the gate
It has good damage against basically everything, insane CC to the point that it's probably one of the most safe weapons to use in the game

[unique radish]

The crusher's biggest "issue" IIRC is that it only has one good blessing

[hushed agate]

Paul also had the same issue

Fatshark HATES mauls

[north sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/black-hole-self-sabotage-lemmings-falling-curiosity-killed-the-cat-gif-10272071161752296937

[spare talon]

And despite appearances
It is a finesse weapon
So it deals significantly more damage to the head than you'd expect

[unique radish]

Eh.... not as much. Back before Ogryn was THE heavy melee spammer, Paul was a decently strong light spam weapon

So Skull Crusher and Confident Strike were the go-to combo

[north sedge]

What if it doesn't matter cause the crusher is good as hell

[spare talon]

True

[unique radish]

The crusher is pretty good but it'd be nice to have options other than "one single damage blessing and 3 useless Impact blessings that actually actively make the weapon worse"

[north sedge]

The impact blessing isn't useless in this case, better stacks for sc

[elfin steppe]

It's the same for Evi

[stuck dagger]

What’s a good anti armour ranged weapon sorry? Boltgun or the revolver mostly?

[unique radish]

Is it really? It has a few stinkers, and the dubious honor of having the weakest version of Bloodletter for god knows what reason, but the extra cleave is always welcome and Momentum is good for sustain.

[stuck dagger]

Thinking of going heavy sword+something like that for my first legit build that imma invest in🤣

[unique radish]

The Mark 2 revolver with Hand Cannon and either Surgical or Crucian Roulette is much better than the bolter

[spare talon]

You mean handcannon and surgical

[stuck dagger]

And are eviscerators rly that hot?😅 I feel like every other zealot I see plays em, with the FOTF build

[spare talon]

Crucian isnt a contender

[ornate bone]

Crucian bad

[unique radish]

Since when?

[ornate bone]

Since I said it

[spare talon]

Since the existence of surgical

[ornate bone]

That too

I probably said it around then

[spare talon]

A lot of people run it cuz giant chainsword is cool, and they aren't playing with anything else in mind

[gritty cliff]

When will we get a proper deathcult assassin skin for the zealot?

[elfin steppe]

Look at this pathetic strike down damage

[unique radish]

I dunno I've had Crucian on my crit Zealot's revolver for so long that I guess I'm just used to it

[north sedge]

Evisc has 3 good blessings, 4 if mk2

And yea surgical way better than crucian generally

[ornate bone]

With the pace I use surgical, I get 2 stacks each shot

[crisp furnace]

I love low level pubs auto kicking for playing the mission lol

[elfin steppe]

Actually, I don't think you can find another weapon that does lower strike down damage than Evi.

[opaque island]

is the other Eviscerator the same?

[elfin steppe]

No, Mk2 has big strike down damage

[spare talon]

Which is better
20% crit chance on only the last shot
30% crit chance from aiming, 100% if you hold it a bit longer

[stuck dagger]

I kinda feel like stuff like the chain sword or even the devils claw sword or even the heavy sword is less clunky to use and yknow

More general purpose

Even for FOTF builds

[elfin steppe]

But I guess I can't exactly compare like that because Mk XV's strike down is sawing, but the sawing in this game really sucks.

[misty nova]

And then you have the rev heavy

[elfin steppe]

It used be able to immediately stun-lock Crushers at least, now you can't even do that anymore

[lean flicker]

Honestly the reason why I want to switch off is that it just doesn't feel fun. I've figured out the combo but it isn't satisfying to use for me.

[spare talon]

I agree, but I'm not those people lmao

I'm also partial to faster weapons anyway

My name might give away what my favorite weapon is

[lean flicker]

Best way I can put it is that the Crusher feels bland

[mossy tulip]

Heresy 😭

[lean flicker]

What are good blessings for the Mk 2

[lean flicker]

IDK mate, it just isn't satisfying. It wacks things but it lacks a visceral "oomph" and a sense of power.

Like the Thunder Hammers are sadly not good I've realized, but when you manage to whack something for a full powered blast with the Crucis and it ragdolls for several feet doing flips which would make Tony Hawk proud it feels really good

[elfin steppe]

just go for the Rashad axe

[lean flicker]

Also which blessing is better for the MK 2, Savage Sweep or Momentum, in fact which blessings are overall best for it

[mossy tulip]

I kinda get what you’re saying with unpowered attacks

[lean flicker]

Not my style tbh, I like CCing

[mossy tulip]

But the powered attack feels very similar in terms of sound and feel

To the thunder hammer powered attack

[lean flicker]

In terms of sound, yes, but it just doesn't have the same vibe IMO. It's the difference between seeing a Rager do his best impression of an origami art display and him just getting back up or not even being fazed

One feels great and looks funny as hell, the other is like, "oh, ok."

[elfin steppe]

They need to make the Rev attack suppress enemies.

[lean flicker]

EXACTLY

[elfin steppe]

Then I will say Evi is good

[lean flicker]

Seeing something that big act like it just got ported into GMod is both hilarious and makes you feel so powerful

[spare talon]

Just sucks that the thammers feel like wet noodles for the other 99% of the mission

[frosty herald]

Using ironhelm mitigates it

[opaque yarrow]

mitigates what? compared to the crucis?

[misty nova]

The special cleaves and kills

[north sedge]

hammers are fine

[nimble fiber]

[lean flicker]

Just completed a round with the Mk2 and holy shit yeah the Evi feels 900x better than the Crusher, it has that oomph and visceral impact

How's this lookin' just upgraded it all the way

[misty nova]

Lmfao get bloodletter'd

Shred + Rampage/Savage Sweep

[lean flicker]

Okay, I'll try and grab that

[misty nova]

No

[lean flicker]

No I mean the other ones lmao

I'm figuring Shred is good and Bloodletter is bad

[misty nova]

Bloodletter is meme material

Shred is aight

Specially Crit builds

[lean flicker]

Alright

[misty nova]

Although Invocation has been nerfed

[lean flicker]

I'm assuming Rampage and Savage are good ones

[misty nova]

Yes

Rampage is goated

[elfin steppe]

if you can rev the monstrosities when you are in rampage, it's going to hit like a Thammer.

[spare talon]

But enduring faith is still huge

And requires little investment if you're running shred

[stuck dagger]

What’s the BIS for Rashad and the heavy swords? 😅

[mossy tulip]

How do you inspect weapons like this

[spare talon]

Deathblow/brutal momentum and headtaker

The former does the same in both just different names

[elfin steppe]

press x

[mossy tulip]

Wow how did I not know

[spare talon]

Heavy swords are less blessing reliant but can only get better with them
But a Rashad is make or break depending on whether it has brutal momentum or not

[fleet zealot]

it was never decent until it got buffs

[elfin steppe]

Most gamers don't bother to look at the keyboard configuration.

[fleet zealot]

it was always garbage in damnation outside of just, stunning everything near you

taking a dozen swings to kill a single trapper

[unique radish]

After a bunch of plasteel sacrified to the RNG machine, I've got a decent second blessing

[fleet zealot]

now? Pual is good and is actually usuable

[fleet zealot]

ruthless is worse than executor

[unique radish]

usable, sure. good? eh....

[fleet zealot]

infact ruthless is just, bad

[unique radish]

Even on backstab stealth zealot?

[fleet zealot]

it isn't a sustained buff

yea what are you getting? 25% damage cause your crit adms in stealth are so high?

it doesn't buff bleed

[misty nova]

Paul is so good now that you can go back to both strikedowns

[fleet zealot]

it doesn't carry over to other swings

executor is better than that

the reason that uncanny is good is that it's a player buff so you and all your damage has rending for the duration

[crisp furnace]

It’s shit uncanny

[spare talon]

Uncanny does the same thing but isn't exclusive to the hit of the backstab

[stuck dagger]

Thank you! Do yall have any like, personal preferences when it comes to the heavy swords? Are they all viable, and like, dependent on whether you personally like one variant over the other ?

[spare talon]

Since uncanny is buff on yourself, it applies to outgoing damage including bleed

[spare talon]

They're all a moveset preference

I like the mk9 though

[fleet zealot]

like what meaningful BP can ruthless give you

if any?

mauler or crusher i'm not even sure of, as well as bulwark or reaper, but if you are going full backstab stealth, I don't think ruthless will make or break whether you get it or not

[placid fiber]

By the way, Cole. I made this in honor of you lol

[spare talon]

I saw
Why the cowboy hat

[placid fiber]

Dough said it needed a cowboy hat

This was the original

[spare talon]

Is that cuz I'm Texan or is he mocking me cuz I'm bad at hunt showdown lmao

@north sedge

[placid fiber]

I'm not sure why Dough wanted the cowboy hat, tbh

[spare talon]

Also at least it's not as bad as some of the other things people on discord have made involving me

[crisp furnace]

Cole have you seen the Reddit build

Click on my msg link to see me talking to the person who made it

[crisp furnace]

Going down is never a good thing

[spare talon]

They are building into martyrs purpose

[fleet zealot]

yea

[crisp furnace]

Without martydom

[fleet zealot]

tank build, no shield of contempt, no good balance'

triple gunner resistance when it's diminishing returns

[placid fiber]

Hey... they forgot me... :/

[crisp furnace]

500 effective health just means you are going down too much

[fleet zealot]

no toughness on curios at all, at least get 15% from minor perks, there has always been restoring faith HP stacking weirdos

TOUGHNESS DR CHORUS? WHyyy

[placid fiber]

I belong in that goddamn box as well...

[fleet zealot]

just cause i don't use it and don't like it, there has been people who HP stack+ restoring faith to basically become a small ogryn

[crisp furnace]

Also the worst part is posting low damage number scoreboards to validate your builds

[fleet zealot]

i don't think it's useless, just niche and toughness is just better 9/10

[hushed agate]

Why wounds wth

[fleet zealot]

Faith's Fortitude LMAOOO whhhyyy

[hushed agate]

Thats such a point waste

[fleet zealot]

retributor's stance as well

I HATE this

it's not even trying to be a good tank

[spare talon]

Cuz they're going to be going down a lot cuz they're building into martyrs purpose

[crisp furnace]

Like one Redditor said

It’s a please carry me build

[spare talon]

Plus the idea is the more wounds = more total health for cdr

[hushed agate]

Just take marty at that point

[placid fiber]

They were spouting that 1 hp gave 1% cdr instead of 1% hp giving 1% cdr

and that the tooltip was wrong

I remember that much from the convo

[placid fiber]

I have never used the talent so I don't know

[fleet zealot]

it bothered me so much

i had to make a "better" version

there you wanna HP stack tank

use this

[placid fiber]

You did remove 15 toughness from their build, technically speaking >.>

[ornate bone]

amogus

[placid fiber]

there

[fleet zealot]

that's not HP

oh

[spare talon]

I've not used it myself
Cuz why would you
But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and test it later

[fleet zealot]

fuck

[placid fiber]

toughness gives more effective hp

[fleet zealot]

you know what

[fleet zealot]

YEs

i'm not doing it to be meta

i'md doing it cause fuck it was a terrible tank build

[placid fiber]

You can remove this talent to get it back

[fleet zealot]

DPW here to tell me what i already know

you could

i'm not opneing up the builder again

[placid fiber]

Believe me I didn't like the build either

but I said "you do you"

If they have more fun with that build and do better, more power to em

That being said I'm a toughness zealot, and not converting away from that ever lol

Even my marty build has 171/172 toughness

[gusty stag]

bro u need to delete that

[placid fiber]

I was just telling you what they were spouting lol

I don't use it, nor do I want to use it

[shy hull]

Delete what ?

I got the ping but discord don't let me get to the message lol

[gusty stag]

that build post

[crisp furnace]

It is not 1% per 1 health

it is 1% per 1% of hp damage

[shy hull]

Try it dude, it is exactly that

[gusty stag]

let me help you

[shy hull]

The tooltip says it's 1% health

[crisp furnace]

It isn't : )

[shy hull]

but in mission i get 1% cd by 1 health lost

[placid fiber]

Like I said, I was spouting what they were spouting. I am not saying I believed them

[gusty stag]

no thats not how that works bud

[shy hull]

I play with it, do you ?

Like

Test it

[crisp furnace]

Here, i will show you

[placid fiber]

I did add that I did not test it, so I don't have any extra info about it

[placid fiber]

Put it on a 1000 health ogryn

[gusty stag]

i have tested, how it works dude. its not like i havent played with it before. It doesnt work how you think it does

[crisp furnace]

Power DI time

lol

[placid fiber]

Oh and add 200s to the ability's base cd

Really drive it home lol

[lean flicker]

Man the Crusher vs Evi experience today is night and fucking day, the Evi actually feels powerful

[grizzled aspen]

Crusher feels good when you aren't bonking a crusher ogryn.

Everything just falls over.

[placid fiber]

I don't run hp or believe what the person was saying earlier, all I know is I haven't tested it so I don't have experience with it. I will not find a use for it on my toughness builds no matter what, and it's a wasted talent point that I can use elsewhere

[shy hull]

Like i just used my ult, took roughly 120 dmg and got it imemdiately back up
I have 375 hp, it should only get me ~20 sec of cd

[lean flicker]

I honestly found it ultra-underwhelming

[grizzled aspen]

Need skullcrusher and hammerblow on it.

[lean flicker]

It's mainly from a visual standpoint though

[shy hull]

It got me ~50 sec of it instead

[lean flicker]

Like it's got damage, sure, but visual and soundwise it just didn't feel fun

[shy hull]

Maybe it's not 1 health = 1%, but it's DEFINITELY not 1% health = 1%CD

[grizzled aspen]

Skullcrusher makes for great damage (as it's the only damage blessing for the crusher) and hammerblow lets you knock ragers down mid combo.

[lean flicker]

Combo or not but it just didn't feel right

Evi feels like I'm actually slashing through people and dishing out damage

[placid fiber]

Here's a question: Are we sure it isn't 1% of base health = 1% cdr?

[crisp furnace]

we shall see

[grizzled aspen]

If that was the case it could actually be worth the point investment.

Unfortunately it's not.

[shy hull]

That's actually a good point

[grizzled aspen]

Either way, it's inconsistent as hell and you probably shouldn't be spending a point on it.

[latent vortex]

It seems to work how Kalenne says, however, taking a chunk of hp to get cooldown back is ech. I'd rather crit and get backstabs

[placid fiber]

base health is 200 on zealot right?

[grizzled aspen]

If youre worried about cdr you should take piety.

[latent vortex]

depends on tree but yeah

[spare dome]

It should really be damage taken before damage reduction tbh

[shy hull]

Dude, i just did a mission with it, I play all the time with it : I get back my ult CONSTANTLY and i NEVER take more than 100 dmg in one go

The only times i lose a ton of hp are crushers/maulers bonks

[placid fiber]

so 120/200 would be the amount of cdr you would get if it is 1% of base health

[spare talon]

Regardless how it works
Health is a resource you should do everything within your power to avoid spending

[shy hull]

And here i lose 100% health sure but that's super rare

[grizzled aspen]

This is true. Plan to lose mindset by taking that talent.

[latent vortex]

We're testing it here in the VC, it does give a bunch of CD back

[placid fiber]

Oh I agree, but, how far has our testing gone?

[latent vortex]

Like a bunch

[shy hull]

Thank you

Fiknally

someone testing it

[spare talon]

I'm at work, but on my lunch break

[latent vortex]

But it's still bleh imo

[shy hull]

instead of repeating the thing they read somewhere

[placid fiber]

120 health if it was 1% of base health would be 60% cdr

[spare talon]

Cuz you still have to spend your health, your most valuable resource

[grizzled aspen]

You are still taking a plan to lose talent instead of a plan to win talent.

[latent vortex]

mmhm

[shy hull]

I'm fine with people thinking my build is not for them/bad etc, but i know basic math

[grizzled aspen]

And again, if you're worried about cdr, you take piety as your keystone.

[latent vortex]

or learn how to backstab 😄

[shy hull]

Piety is bad when you use the 60 sec CD, i'd rather get 20% from backstabs

[grizzled aspen]

That talent would be great if fatshark had reliable backstab hitreg.

[spare talon]

Which allows you to have 50% tdr with ease too

[shy hull]

I do have the backstab one too

[spare talon]

But piety is consistent

[placid fiber]

I am not saying the talent is worth it by any means, I am just saying that it could be not as terrible as we think it is for health builds specifically

[north sedge]

Enjoying the hunt pain! I do not expect anyone to be good immediately though, it's a tough game

[spare talon]

It's basically always chunking it down

[latent vortex]

Yeah, I'm just wondering if it works exactly as the tooltip says

[shy hull]

I know, when i'm not using chorus i don't play my HP setup

[placid fiber]

I am wondering if it means 1% of base health, tbh

[shy hull]

It works BECAUSE chorus is a perfect response to "i'm getting dunked on by ennemies rn"

[spare talon]

Dough join the convo
We're discussing a build that plays into Martyrs purpose

[grizzled aspen]

Mhmm, especially because you're gonna want to take scourge up top as well. Might as well grab the good talents that are past it if you're already investing in it.

[shy hull]

But i wouldn't recommend it for the other ults

[placid fiber]

Again: I do not support taking the talent, I am just stating a potential

[grizzled aspen]

Counterargument, don't get dunked on.

It's that easy.

[north sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/dying-hungry-and-thirsty-gif-16689267

[hard nexus]

does it work during until death

[spare talon]

The ideal is to set up your build, and thus your personal skill, to do everything to prevent that

[hard nexus]

can i charge like 8 times during until death

[shy hull]

I'm sure you have a 100% wr in maelstrom, not everyone does though : Sometimes, things get south

[grizzled aspen]

I don't, mainly because teammates are goofballs.

[latent vortex]

Nah, I'm sure even frog gets shit on

[spare talon]

Making your build function only in a bad situation is setting yourself up for not being able to prevent that bad situation

[latent vortex]

But the advice is the same either way

It's the same advice all of us listen to

Don't get shit on

[placid fiber]

Another thing is it could be 1% of base health = 1s of cdr, but, I don't think it is that

[shy hull]

Sadly no, you have to lose the health for it to proc : But 99% of the time, getting in until death require to lose some health anytway

[grizzled aspen]

Yeah I get destroyed just about every other game because I get overwhelmed when my teammates go down.

[latent vortex]

Mmhm

[shy hull]

Could be, but it's clearly a lot more than 1% per 1% total hp

[latent vortex]

Sounds about right

[grizzled aspen]

Said teammates should NOT be queueing for anything above heresy.

[hard nexus]

troo

are we debating if it’s actually worth anything

[crisp furnace]

actually it is killing them

and not taking 3.2k damage

[placid fiber]

I mean if you have 186% hp then you can get more value from it, if it is base hp

[grizzled aspen]

Indeed. Killing enemies prevents being dunked on 99.99% of the time.

[latent vortex]

I don't mind it because I can look cool in front of internet strangers by clutching

[spare talon]

The best form of CC is killing them

[placid fiber]

Again: I do NOT support taking the talent, I am just stating a hypothetical

[grizzled aspen]

I dont like clutching because half the time I get some idiot screeching in my ear to hurry up.

[hard nexus]

or alternatively (and yes it’s less effective but) proactively using chorus to deal with certain threats

[shy hull]

Yet we won

[grizzled aspen]

Like, I'm sorry I'm getting shot to pieces by 27 billion gunners while kiting a plogryn.

I'm gonna be awhile.

[stable cypress]

I prefer proactively not picking chorus

[grizzled aspen]

I use my chorus build exclusively when I feel like turning my brain off.

[hard nexus]

3.2k damage??!?

did u post a scoreboard earlier or something

[grizzled aspen]

Martyrdom, chain axe, chorus, be a man.

[spare talon]

Where are these people
Typically when I'm clutching people are saying "what in the actual fuck, how"

[shy hull]

Honestly 3.2k was kind of a record for me, i usually have ~1k/1.Xk dmg taken

That's a more typical game for me

[grizzled aspen]

If only you got queued in my lobbies...

I get squeakers and neckbeards left and right in qp.

"Erm why did you waste your shroudfield on a mutant? That was very inefficient."

Maybe because I don't have infinite dodges!

[hard nexus]

i usually fuck with my friend by saying “dw he’s number one (class) player in the world” and then he dies like 10-20 seconds after i say it

it’s a curse

and it’s so funny

[grizzled aspen]

Genuinely, the nerve of some people enrages me.

[crisp furnace]

Those damage numbers are so low

[grizzled aspen]

I have gotten to the point that I have turned off all in game sound and just put a 10hr track of the boss theme on in the background.

[shy hull]

Same, this build is my build for when i don't want to tryhard and still get results
I can play meta builds too, i just prefer this one overall

[spare talon]

Like look at the chat log here

[grizzled aspen]

I will NOT hear the patrol of ragers I'm walking up on and still kill them with ease due to how busted mk6 knife is.

[hushed agate]

Whackamole 40k edition

[crisp furnace]

Martyr's Purpose
1% of Damage taken is converted to Ability Cooldown Reduction.

function: reduce_ability_cooldown_percentage

Reduces the remaining ability cooldown by 1% per health damage taken. Only procs on health damage; does not proc while downed. Procs additionally to Concentration Stimm's cooldown reduction effect of 3s per second.

For example, if Zealot has 55s of Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude's 60s cooldown remaining and takes 80 health damage, then the remaining 55s are reduced by 60x(80x0.01)=48 to 7 seconds. Indirectly interacts with Combat Ability Regeneration from curios: The curio stat reduces the maximum cooldown of the combat ability which then also decreases the flat amount of time reduced by the talent.

[grizzled aspen]

Nerves of fucking steel to be staring mutants down like that just poking their heads with a knife.

[shy hull]

Oh also, i never got captured lol, even though i took 3k dmg (Or don't remmeber it at least)

[hard nexus]

me personally i wouldn’t have gotten grabbed by that mutant

[spare talon]

Uh huh yeah sure yup totally

[hard nexus]

taking every single medicae, medstim, and medicate is NOT a good thing lmfao

[hard nexus]

i mean i DID out damage you…

[ivory marlin]

cole did you run into any mutants that run?

[shy hull]

I just took one medicae at every station, but that's it lmao

[median steeple]

nara

tive

[shy hull]

But like i said, 3k was way over my usual scores

[ivory marlin]

you on rn?

[spare talon]

A few

[hard nexus]

1k damage taken is still a lot

[crisp furnace]

this is how it actually works btw

[shy hull]

I never pretended i played well on this one

[spare talon]

On my lunch break

At work

[ivory marlin]

darn

[shy hull]

Not really if you have 500 effective health and a 100hp regen from until death

[hard nexus]

i only really take 1k plus damage in situations that are going god awfully terribly

[hard nexus]

all health curios…..

explains a lot

[spare talon]

It's the fact that you recieved that much damage to begin with
Not relative to your max hp

[median steeple]

you should quit and become a darktide content creator ( totally the correct choice in life)

[ivory marlin]

i have no good drip for zealot

[hard nexus]

i mean they all fucking suck lmfao

[shy hull]

I mean, that's the whole point of my build : Taking dmg and be fine with it

[spare talon]

I'm gonna be the new realasianrobot!

[hard nexus]

pygex is the only good one

[shy hull]

I can play builds where i don't take dmg, i playerd martyrdom builds jsut fine

[spare talon]

That's called martyrdom

[shy hull]

Just this one stirve by taking dmg : That's jsut another approach

[hard nexus]

let’s play😈

[spare talon]

Which is the keystone you didn't take

[shy hull]

No, martyrdom your goal is to never take a big blow

[median steeple]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/796795318129131582/1125385784380375180/image0_9.gif?ex=66af642f&is=66ae12af&hm=e2c131a7ce9c49c2f40ff182ce9d3fe4fc66e1ac6fbe9a42646c5d037da0e505&

[shy hull]

You do'nt actually tank with martyrdom, you can't afford a real big mistake

[hard nexus]

martyrdom is just walk into hordes and don’t die

[spare talon]

See talent: bleed for the emperor

[median steeple]

Or be me and eat every crusher overhead

[hard nexus]

martyrdom is extremely tanky wdym

[shy hull]

I know the talen, i've played Darktide quite a lot actually

[median steeple]

just because

[ivory marlin]

the build so far

[hard nexus]

yum!

[shy hull]

it's not bcause i made a build you don't like that i can't play meta/clean or whatever

[hard nexus]

for what?

[ivory marlin]

idk

[hard nexus]

lmfao

[ivory marlin]

stealth flamer probably

[hard nexus]

people here run off meta builds all the time

[shy hull]

I played martyrdom build and barely got hit the entire game

I played crit builds for cdr

[placid fiber]

Like i've said before: you do you. If it works for you then do it

[shy hull]

I played knife stealth, TH stealth

[ivory marlin]

zealot seems fun but idk if ill use him after im done leveling

[hard nexus]

we aren’t saying “oh you’re not running meta and you’re taking damage you suck” we’re saying “wow that is an absurd amount of damage taken”

[modern lintel]

No duelist instant death

[shy hull]

My tank support build work : Idc if you don't like it, but stop pretending i'm bad because you don't like it

[hard nexus]

zealot is peak

[fathom valley]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a4fa304-0b88-4cf8-827a-d0435327a8c3/zealot-meta-no-stealth is this build still viable?

The trees good

The weapons are ehhh

[spare talon]

If it says meta and it's on gameslantern
It's probably not meta

[placid fiber]

I mean I'd take you any day over the vast amount of randos that are beyond hopeless, even if you take 1k damage lol

[hard nexus]

you want savage sweep with rampage/shred on assault chain swords

[shy hull]

Thanks lmao

[hard nexus]

tree is meh

[placid fiber]

I pay attention to how you do, more than how much overall damage you take

I do look at the damage taken and I might cringe, but, if you do good then oh well

[shy hull]

My history is like 2 loses on 15 games in maelstrom wsith my tank setup

[modern lintel]

Far left middle weakspot and crit dmg i think on dodge boost

[ivory marlin]

i see

[shy hull]

sure i take 1.5k dmg, but we win and it's not even close

[ivory marlin]

ill grab that then

[crisp furnace]

those damage numbers are nothing

tbh

damage dealt

[nimble fiber]

bread

[placid fiber]

Besides... I've seen 1k damage taken on people who don't have health curios many times...

[hard nexus]

troo!

[placid fiber]

on fucking psykers with no health curios...

[hard nexus]

do you play premades

or pugs

[shy hull]

Full randos

[spare talon]

You can run a bad build and do pretty well from skill alone
But that doesn't mean you're not running a bad build and could be doing much better with a good one

[hard nexus]

i don’t like that it’s called pugs

it should be pubs

[shy hull]

Sometimes i play with friends but like 1 or 2 misisons in the night over 10

[hard nexus]

i think you’re just getting lucky with teammates

[shy hull]

I told you i played every meta build

[nimble fiber]

wdym its pubs

[hard nexus]

your damage numbers really are low, and yes you are winning

[hushed agate]

Never heard it called pugs before

[hard nexus]

pugs

pick up games

[shy hull]

Sure, i've got the 200 auric misisons trophies and got Auric/maelstrom survivorwithout even trying to get them but i'm ofc just lucky

[hard nexus]

i see people call it that all the time

[placid fiber]

thought it was pick up groups

[hushed agate]

Thats for basketball isnt it

[placid fiber]

either way

[hard nexus]

idk

[nimble fiber]

thats crazy

[ivory marlin]

i loaded into a mission and instantly got crusher overheaded

like

[ivory marlin]

frame of me loading in

[hushed agate]

Dude just dodge

[shy hull]

I'm not lucky on team mates lol, I've got the same than yall

[ivory marlin]

:(

[placid fiber]

A support person can go a long way if they know what they are doing

[nimble fiber]

the crusher wanted to properly greet u

[placid fiber]

If they don't... then they're like smite psykers

[hard nexus]

to be fair the ASS penances are not a good indicator of skill

[modern lintel]

I had this happen once but a voc vet saved me as it was coming down

[crisp furnace]

Low damage dealt

[hard nexus]

i’ve seen so many people with auric storm survivor fucking suck

[crisp furnace]

Massive damage taken

[hard nexus]

i don’t have auric storm survivor and i am pretty damn good at the game

[placid fiber]

Again: They are a support character

Support characters will do less

[shy hull]

Yes being the big damage guy isn't the point of a "tank/ support build"

[crisp furnace]

There’s no support in darktide

[median steeple]

RIP the 3 runs ruined by being launched off the map

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/248972334327791616/1269400161470382273/Its_like_a_scene_from_a_horror_movie_in_Elden_Ring.mp4?ex=66afec86&is=66ae9b06&hm=9485338ebdf9aa34f86f9883e24c0356e96cef8f653409420ca731c15fff11db&

[hard nexus]

again: support in this game is minimal and usually not noticeable

[crisp furnace]

There’s going damage and there’s dead weight

[hard nexus]

i am still upset by that

i was

SO CLOSE

[placid fiber]

Yeah because smite psykers lol

[hard nexus]

WIHT NO CHEESINGN

[median steeple]

wight

[crisp furnace]

I take less damage on duos with 1m damage per player lol

[placid fiber]

If they can play support right, then I don't care that they do less damage

[hard nexus]

also “tank” characters aren’t really a thing imo either except for maybe taunt ogryn, a character can be tanky, but can’t really actively draw aggression, a team is gonna have pretty widely spread aggro

[hard nexus]

u really do hate me….

[placid fiber]

I'll take a teammate who knows what they are doing over a rando that can do damage that sucks

[modern lintel]

Vet has that string of toughness nodes for teammates but the build is cooked for actual usability

[humble lark]

Any tips for loadouts? Just started my first Zealot character

[shy hull]

Ogryn doesn't have death immunity and and an ult that protect the whole team for 5 sec

[placid fiber]

That rando that can do damage that sucks has been the cause of me trying to solo clutch a ton of times lol

[hard nexus]

an ult that removes you from the fight and stops you from dealing any damage for 5 seconds as well

the ult can be useful yes

[crisp furnace]

It’s also ultra trash

[hard nexus]

but a majority of the time it’s better to just stay in the fight

[shy hull]

Sure, but your team can deal dmaage and the ennemies can't. Plus you deal dmg with these 5 sec with flames grenades if that's really needed

[hard nexus]

alternatively, melee them

or shoot them

the only time a chorus is needed from my experience is crusher/bulwark packs, or a shit ton of specials spawning

[placid fiber]

I'm done since I wanna go to bed since I couldn't sleep earlier... Like i've said: You do you, if you do good then do what you want

[latent vortex]

I do agree with this. If you aren't an active detriment to the team then it's whatever, you could just probably be doing more

[modern lintel]

So what when teammates dead whos doing the dmg

[shy hull]

Listen, on(t play the build if yo udon't want to idc : But stop trying to find some way to convince me that it's bad, because it's not
I win most games without even getting downed more than once (if i get downed), I think that's more than enough proof for me that it works, at least for me

[placid fiber]

Yeah you can do more, but, if you aren't a detriment then it might not even be needed

[median steeple]

alt f4 my beloved

[ivory marlin]

for stealth knife which keystone should i go for

[shy hull]

Why would the teammate die if they get their toughness back every 15 sec with an extra 100 gold toughness for 10 sec ?

[modern lintel]

Barrels

[median steeple]

I hope they add class specific titles one day

[latent vortex]

inoxerable judgement

[shy hull]

My teamates rarely die, because i'm constantly refilling their toughness up to max +100

[ivory marlin]

thank you

[shy hull]

It happens sometimes : But then i can jsut chorus my way through enemies anyway

[latent vortex]

yee, you should be going down mostly right side, while going to the left side in the middle for duelist and until death + holy revenant

[shy hull]

Surprisingly, it's super easy to reach your downed mates when you can pause the game for 5 sec and lock ennemies in place

[hard nexus]

that’s my shoulder

[ivory marlin]

this is what im at rn

only level 17

[latent vortex]

go down loner, loner itself is kinda ass but the pathing is huge

[ivory marlin]

ok

[marble rover]

Become swole

It’s super easy to play darktide when your spawn rate gives you less than 1 mil combined damage

[hard nexus]

some guy posts terrible build, chat says it’s bad, he says that

[ivory marlin]

damn you really got him with that one

[median steeple]

Yo'rue*

[crisp furnace]

you know, there is a point, in any discussion when you understand that discussing is pointless
Either because the other party is unable to understand your point, maybe because you are doing a bad job explaining it , or simply because they are in bad faith filled with dumb assumption
I assume this is a mix of the three with this sentence
I read that and understand " Damn ,if smite is removed you'll not be able to play the game at all, because you only use smite everywhere under the sun "
this is stupid
Incredibly dumb point to make
I am flabbergasted by the fact that you believe you made a point here
So before leaving this topic I'll gratify you of a simple answer
I will do what I have always done and use something else , because I am not tetered to a build like the metaslave I will assume you are considering that you never mentionned other weapon that voidstrike and probably assume that I use the DS4 sword as pointed out by the 2 shot Crusher (because the idea that I could run any other weapon did not entertain your mind and you never inquired about it )
And that is in the case where smite is unable to CC groups of ennemy , which would make it pointless as heck so an unlikely nerf to happen .
On that end, Good day Sir , may you enjoy the meta in your auric maelstrom for the day to come

[nimble fiber]

jesus

[median steeple]

damn why is it so long

[latent vortex]

guy posted...interesting... build. modder info was incorrect about the tooltip, got into an argument about it working, we tested it, it worked, it's still ass though

[crisp furnace]

I told him to dodge

[latent vortex]

there's the context

[hard nexus]

ask someone else

i don’t have it

or just search it

n go to old

should i get perfectionist or master crafted

im guessing perfection

[hard nexus]

is it genuine

[hard nexus]

for knife i think the 6 second might be better

[crisp furnace]

Yeah

[latent vortex]

master

[crisp furnace]

I may have told a smyker to dodge

[ivory marlin]

oh ok

[crisp furnace]

And he may have gotten mad

[latent vortex]

You'll be 1-shotting most threats

[ivory marlin]

got it

[hushed agate]

Sin of the highest degree

All smykers unbind dodge from principle

[ivory marlin]

unironically the most help ive gotten with any build

[latent vortex]

Ye, The only thing it'll really effect is boss damage and killing the boss a little slower isn't a big deal, but with more uses of stealth to revive, take objectives, reposition, and having the time to skirt across the entire room to get the bombers that are in a shitty spot, 6s is good

[hard nexus]

zealot chat is the most helpful imo

Back to reading zealot chat while running the register (shoot me in the head)

He's prolly not too fond of us

[hard nexus]

LMAO

[hard nexus]

So I'm not the only one who sees that and goes "ah that explains it"

Power DI fucks with my game

[hard nexus]

[latent vortex]

I can't run it :/

[hard nexus]

[crisp furnace]

Mine is in the thousands

[latent vortex]

It's pretty unstable

So you may or may not have issues

if no issues, great, use it

[crisp furnace]

When I actually want to play to win

[hard nexus]

i wonder what my dodge count is

[latent vortex]

my dodge count is usually like

double everyone's lmao

I spam that shit

...gets me killed sometimes

[spare talon]

Last I checked was when I was mainly running dclaw and not knife

I should re-enable power di

[hard nexus]

sometimes i dodge just cuz i got a bad feeling and it turns out there’s a silent mauler/crusher

scares the shit out of me

[spare talon]

Cuz I haven't turned it back on since sotmg fucking with mods

[median steeple]

God bless the broken keyboard and it getting me killed

[hard nexus]

[latent vortex]

lmao, that reminds me when I was playing RE7 and I was in a looong narrow hallway and halfway through I was like "...I'd put an enemy behind me." and there it was.

[median steeple]

I've had the "office keyboard with a broken space bar" setup before

Very fun

[median steeple]

My space bar is cooked

[hard nexus]

[spare talon]

Take it out of the oven then idiot

Yeah this is exactly what it looks like

[ivory marlin]

ive finally hit level 18

only 12 more levels till im done leveling every class

[median steeple]

once you hit 20 or something try to get manstopper on the double barrel

[ivory marlin]

is this one i need once im done with my line?

[hard nexus]

depends on the weapon

[ivory marlin]

knife

[hard nexus]

it’s good on slower weapons like thammer

[hard nexus]

then no

[ivory marlin]

ah ok

[hard nexus]

it’s still nice to have

but it’s not needed at all on knife

[ivory marlin]

i see

i like the book of xenos

good backpack

[polar nexus]

@sterile basalt found it was a very very marginal increase in DPS.

[median steeple]

Philosophy hurts my mind

then I did psyche

[spare talon]

I had such a cool philosophy professor

The most amount of slurs in the shortest amount I've time I've heard from a person IRL was from him

[median steeple]

did they kidnap an ancient greek to teach there?

[hard nexus]

so i was right?

[spare talon]

No
Just an old guy who has a gremlin sense of humor that he incorporates in his classes

[hard nexus]

nice to have but not anything of significance ?

on knife*

[spare talon]

To clarify, the slurs were not what he found funny
But the context and history around that part of his lesson

[sterile basalt]

tldr +melee atk speed is not actually +melee atk speed

on knife it's very small dps increase

main benefit is to make punch > L0 overhead > H2 faster & smoother to execute

[spare talon]

This man was banned from giving his lesson that involved this part during his class, so he had to put it to the last day, and make us sign a form that acknowledges that class is no longer in session and we are there for a supplementary optional lesson, and thus not in class

[polar nexus]

We should train ai bot on all of your messages plus the guide

[hard nexus]

so what does that mean

is it less time between chains?

[hard nexus]

pawesome

[polar nexus]

Meowsome

while its active

[jolly scaffold]

what d owe think of shock maul melee wepaon?

[spare dome]

is gud

[jolly scaffold]

whatb lessings?

[sterile basalt]

Atks chain into other other attacks faster but because different attacks chain into other different attacks at different time values, +10% melee atk speed is almost never a flat +10% dps increase

[latent vortex]

however, faster animations IS safer

[spare dome]

Yeah all the reasons attack speed was a super stacked stat in VT2 still apply here

[spare talon]

(Getting interrupted at work) When he was given the notice he couldn't host that lesson, he asked for a more specific notice referring to what he wasn't allowed to do
He now proudly frames a notice in his office stating he's "not allowed to host your philosophy lesson on free speech in class"

[polar nexus]

Sounds like speech is not free at all

[spare talon]

This old guy wears a nice suit when teaching community college courses solely to scare the people who think it's gonna be an easy A
Cuz he think that's hilarious

[ivory marlin]

welcome back cole

[misty mason]

sounds like a dingus tbh

[spare talon]

He's the kinda old guy who has lectures that don't feel like lectures cuz they're too interesting and entertaining

[misty mason]

Charisma=/=non-dingus

[spare talon]

True

He's a dingus

But a good dingus

[misty mason]

Kinda like youtube historians

Some of the most entertaining are the absolute fucken worst people on the planet

well

maybe a bit far, but lmao, a lot of them are awful

[spare talon]

When he found out about ratemyprofessor he threw a bunch of fake negative reviews on himself cuz he thought it would be funny

[misty mason]

Sounds like this guy shot JFK

Cause itd be funny

[spare talon]

Didn't outweigh all of the positive ones by any means tho

Also walked in every morning with one of those gigantic racetrac cups that's like almost a gallon

Filled with mountain dew

Bear in mind that this guy was the spitting image of "hardass mean old professor"

[hard nexus]

lmfao

[spare talon]

Funny enough
He did use the Kennedys as an example when talking about the epicureans

[hushed knoll]

[polar nexus]

[coarse birch]

damn

[spare talon]

Bored so I'm scrolling through new on the reddit

"High voltage is great on the shock maul"
Oh thank good a normal person

"for psyker cuz you can smite them for the bonus damage"

[ivory marlin]

hi stan

[obsidian prairie]

Reddit trying to formulate a vaguely normal opinion (literally impossible)

[ivory marlin]

almost

i have 2 days in a row of no wokr

work

ima level my zealot so hard

[spare talon]

What if there was a shock maul blessing that had a 20-50% chance on crit to basically smite the target and 2 others nearby for 3 seconds

[obsidian prairie]

That sounds borderline useless on everyone but zealot

And the target cap is hell

[spare talon]

I mean the moment you make it 100% and/or more than 3 targets
That blessing would be overpowered

Cuz crit zealot would just fucking lockdown everything with ease

[obsidian prairie]

Vet could get decent use with their 50% ish

But yeah zealot would be insane

[ivory marlin]

Cole can you call in a bomb threat my place of employment so i can level my zealot even faster

[obsidian prairie]

Just light attack spam and disregard everything

Also FotF for force crits to just tell someone to sit down for 3 seconds while you abuse them

[spare talon]

Also remember that opportunist exists
Not every blessing has to work for everyone
Or even work at all lmak

[spare talon]

I mean
It's a finesse weapon
With absolutely 0 finesse related blessings
