i don't dislike ancient, i just think it's disingenous to say make blanket statements about ancient and other playtesters and say "erm actually, playtesters that are friends with me said X" when said playtesters wouldn't have any knowledge of that subject

🤔

grizzled aspen

you talked about him for 20 minutes actually

scroll down in that post

just cause the sentence doesnt include "dorn" doesn't mean you weren't talking about him

maybe i'm confusing dorn with tanner

but everyone hates on tanner

grizzled aspen

Will my toughness just cease taking damage until the effects last?

10% + 10% isn't 20%

tepid sorrel
#

i'm not the Federal Reserve

twin wagon
remote lark
#

it beccomes 10% reduction of 90%

lean lark
remote lark
#

ok

#

let me put it this way

gray ice
twin saddle
#

I went to art school, could you guys explain for an ogryn

frozen glen
#

u is an opp

lean lark
#

but still anything from 80 to 90 is a very huge ehp buff

desert spear
#

I love damage reduction!

#

it reduces the damage I take!

remote lark
#

100% damage taken
-10% toughness damage reduction

90% damage taken
-10% toughness damage taken

81% damage taken

grizzled aspen
remote lark
#

let me put it a different way

grizzled aspen
#

If you take a % less damage, any further damage reduction is based off that number, not the original one.

#

You see it very easily in how curio damage resistance works.

twin saddle
grizzled aspen
#

No.

#

Additive would be far better.

twin saddle
#

But it cant be completely incincible toughness

grizzled aspen
#

Correct, I believe it caps out at 90% effectiveness.

twin saddle
#

SO for smaller amounts of tougness DR, it rewards more

grizzled aspen
#

Yes and no.

twin saddle
remote lark
#

if i have 0 damage reduction, i take 100% of incoming damage.

if get buffed with 50% damage reduction, i take 50% of incoming damage.

if I get buffed with another 50% damage reduction:
additively: i would have 100% damage reduction and would take 0% of incoming damage.
multiplicatively: I would have 75% damage reduction because that second buff halved the half damage i was already taking.

#

Does that make sense?

grizzled aspen
#

If you have no tdr, small numbers are great because it's more than nothing. If you have lots of tdr, you get diminishing returns.

remote lark
#

darktide is multiplicative

#

zealots highest possible tdr is about 88%, i calculated it a while ago.

remote lark
#

heres another way to put it

#

if you have a cake

#

and you cut it in half

#

you have 50% of the cake left

#

if you cut that in half again

lean lark
remote lark
#

ur cake isn't gone

#

u have 25% remaining

twin wagon
#

NO MY RASHONS

i posted it a while ago

#

let me find it for you

#

this game sucks

tepid sorrel
#

gaming is illegal

remote lark
#

ancient

#

base stat notes for tdr are additive right

#

or are those also multiplicative

tepid sorrel
#

fuck if i remember, i can check rq tho

remote lark
#

ok

#

ill do the math again in the meantime

spare talon
#

Quick
To the kuli steam guides

twin saddle
#

so its 39 (martyr)
40 (on melee kill)
15 (aura)

true kindle
grizzled aspen
#

The easiest way to explain this is curio damage resistances. Gunner resist is pretty universal, so I'll use that.
100% damage taken - 20% DR = 80% damage taken. This is only for the first perk.
The next thing would be to take 20% from 80%. 80 x .2 = 16.
80% damage taken - 16% DR = 64% damage taken.
Do it again. 64 x .2 = 12.8.
64% damage taken - 12.8% DR = 51.2% damage taken.

Or is stacking it that high not worth

lean lark
#

if you've got a point to spare on it, it doesn't hurt (since your team gets the tdr too)

grizzled aspen
#

Actually just post your full talent tree.

twin saddle
#

critical, sorry

grizzled aspen
#

Or are you a console gamer?

twin saddle
#

but since this is supposed to be a heavy eviscerator special attack build (ik, ik) that will be like, more constant than you think

twin saddle
remote lark
#

dont even bother getting either of those 2 upgrade points

grizzled aspen
twin saddle
#

well yeah i could do that too but the build tree is le long and would take many snippets

remote lark
#

Enduring Faith: 50% TDR after crit for 4s.
Good Balance: 25% DR after successful dodge.
Shield of Contempt: 60% DR after taking HP damage.
Benediction Aura: 15%
Chorus Buff: 30% TDR
Martyrdom: 45.5% in Malice or lower

+20% additive(?) damage reduction from stat tax nodes

#

lets do the math real quick

tepid sorrel
#

each tdr node is "talent_toughness_damage_reduction_low", applying toughness_damage_taken_modifier
which is additive

lean lark
#

you can use a site named gameslantern

twin saddle
#

STOP

#

you said no thats enough for me

remote lark
#

ty

twin saddle
#

i believe you magic man

spare talon
tepid sorrel
#

martyrdom is also additive

lean lark
#

Go into build editor, click zealot and then put your tree in it

twin saddle
#

what will it take you to stop? Draw you a landscape? Design a logo? (i went to design school)

#

A website design? Leave us alone please

twin wagon
tepid sorrel
#
        [stat_buffs.toughness_damage_taken_modifier] = {
            min = 0,
            max = toughness_reduction_per_stack * martyrdom_max_stacks,```
#

the others should all be multiplicative

spare talon
tepid sorrel

for TDR specifically

drowsy steppe

#

No, every single steam complain is havok

Surely the only way havoc can be played is with meta
It is clearly impossible to clear with off meta

lean lark
#

actually it's unfair I've heard reddit takes are starting to improve somewhat

tepid sorrel
twin saddle
#

So this is meant for like, below 15 havocs when playing while high, and below 20s when trying

well

#

actually

twin saddle
tepid sorrel
#

an insufferable creature of the night

remote lark
#

84.64375% + 20% additive would be past the threshold

#

so you would actually hit the 90% tdr cap

I wouldn't build into crit without piety unless your weapon has some means of additional crit inherently, like a blessing or stat

xd

grizzled aspen
twin saddle
lean lark
#

it's funny

remote lark
#

all jokes aside

#

the 1 glaring issue about this build

civic rapids
#

Zealot mains can i ask y'all something

spare talon
remote lark
#

is that stun grenades (mainly all of the talents above stun grenades that u have to take)

#

are utter trash

#

even distain is bad

grizzled aspen
#

Missing a martyrdom node, too.

#

Pretty sure that's the attack speed node.

remote lark
#

yea you also need both of the nodes under martyrdom

spare talon
#

Basically all talents require a crit every 4 seconds to maintain uptime, and 25-55% is more than enough for that

grizzled aspen
#

Frankly I wouldn't take martyrdom for evisc, anyway.

twin saddle
grizzled aspen
#

Too point heavy, especially with crit cdr, and your mobility is shit.

twin saddle
#

10% toughness on heavy attack kill

remote lark
#

no

#

bad.

grizzled aspen
#

Is bad.

spare talon
#

The 100% crit chance still has a kill condition, which sometimes isn't available when you're fighting a boss for example

remote lark
#

you'll get more just from cleaving enemies

grizzled aspen
#

Terrible, even.

#

You already have blood redemption on the right.

twin saddle
#

IK, you are thinking, bad, but, what will you be doing with THIS build though

#

hitting special button

remote lark
#

and killing one enemy..

twin saddle
#

heavy meleeing gunners or crushers or anything

remote lark
#

mmm

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah, you can do that without taking damage.

twin saddle
#

and getting that crit and reducting the ability further

grizzled aspen
#

And you do enough damage with just martyrdom alone to heavy kill anything that isn't carapace without revving.

remote lark
#

okay so

#

i see the thought process

#

but the thing is

twin saddle
#

while getting 50% toughness reduction since it will be crits

remote lark
#

you'll get less toughness from those overheads on gunners and crushers than you will just from the talents ur giving up in order to go down to that node

#

for example

twin saddle
remote lark
#

take a silly build like this

grizzled aspen
remote lark
#

you have way more damage reduction

#

like

grizzled aspen
remote lark
#

#

and dmg reduction = toughness u dont have to gain back

I promise you, one heavy will kill anything that isn't a mauler or ogryn in one shot without revving at max martyr stacks, provided you didn't do something silly like dump damage.

twin saddle

its not oneshotting because he doesn't have sustained assault frog

umm aktually u cant get max martyr stacks in damnation

#

or heresy

grizzled aspen
twin saddle
#

number two, the crits are guaranteed and this way and i dont invest in anything crit related

spare talon
twin saddle
#

if you dont bother with investing % crit at all, blazing piety is useless anyway, its better to deal more damage and be tankier when low with martyr

i think you can oneshot a crusher without a crit though

grizzled aspen
#

(it's far better to use IJ for evisc because evisc has shit dodges)

remote lark
#

shhh

#

let me just show him

#

words aren't working

#

its ok

#

seeing is believing

spare talon
twin saddle
#

alright so without martyr, cant oneshot a crusher, a bulwark, or even a reaper.

remote lark
#

aight

#

one second

grizzled aspen
#

(inb4 the chastise trick is learned)

twin saddle
spare talon
#

Casting fury of the faithful during the rev sawing, you can

remote lark
#

1

twin saddle
#

Well duh of course, if you got crits

spare talon
grizzled aspen
#

15 stacks of IJ, one chastise.

remote lark
#

you can guarantee a crit without using that build you used heretic

spare talon
twin saddle
remote lark
#

FOTF = armor pierce, bonus damage, bonus attack speed, and guaranteed crit.

twin saddle
#

if crit, of course oneshot with heavy attack

remote lark
#

you can 100% guarantee it without the blessing.

twin wagon
remote lark
#

yep!

#

so you save fotf for carapace nemies

#

and then oneshot them

spare talon
#

We know it's a crit, cuz you forced it with fotf

remote lark
#

that's the point i'm making

twin saddle
spare talon
#

And you can get it every 10 seconds with the crit cdr

remote lark
#

that's the point i'm making

spare talon
#

And you can have it up quite often with shred

twin saddle
#

The point of the build is to take book dude

grizzled aspen
#

FOTF is:

100% rending
15% attack speed
50% toughness regen
guaranteed crit
staggers enemies you run into (not ogryns or bosses)

spare talon
#

With no brain activity

remote lark
#

why not say that

#

one second

#

i can do silly stuff if i get to take book

twin saddle
#

I will explain in ogryn to you too>
If build idea, has some basic ideas.
Cant switch key detail, to something else, call improvement

grizzled aspen
#

Then the build shouldn't be.

obsidian ore
grizzled aspen
spare talon
twin saddle
#

You literally demonstrated that "hey look this non team support ability achieves exactly what you achieve (oneshotting crushers or anything) by taking this selfish ability instead of the one you took"

grizzled aspen
#

Is that why bursters don't hurt you?

twin saddle
#

like, yeah it would do that

remote lark
#

can you guys stop arguing NalaEyeroll

obsidian ore
#

it is why bursters and snipers can't hurt you during dash

remote lark
#

i can oneshot a crusher without a crit still i think

obsidian ore
#

as their attacks need to go through your toughness first

twin saddle
#

my point is i dont NEED to invest into FOTF with the eviscerator blessing

grizzled aspen
twin saddle
#

and the build is made around the special attack of it

remote lark
#

hes playing it in havoc

#

chorus is good there

stone fern
#

zealot has one ult outside of havoc

grizzled aspen
#

Meant havocs.

#

Oops.

twin saddle
#

thats why i think, the 10% of toughness on heavy melee kill is good because thats what you will do the most.

grizzled aspen
#

I am being insane.

stone fern
#

actually

remote lark
#

i have an entirel ydifferent case to make then

stone fern
#

zealot has 1 ult in auric and 1 in havoc

twin saddle
grizzled aspen
#

I wrote the wrong word. :P

#

Meant to say havocs.

main widget
#

How viable is ranged on zealot I really want to run shotgun priest

grizzled aspen
#

Chorus is useless in aurics and normal board stuff.

twin wagon
remote lark
#

i will look at that in a min

twin saddle
#

Well yeah this build is for sub 15 havocs when high and sub 20 when not high

#

what isnt there to understand lmao

grizzled aspen
remote lark
#

i actually have a valid point to show heretic

grizzled aspen
#

I would drop purge and anoint for it.

twin saddle
#

if its "but special melee attack le bad" i will throw a table

twin wagon
#

Thy wrath be swift would also be handy

#

but it's SO FAR

grizzled aspen
#

Also would not run something heavy because no twbs.

#

Like relic blade.

polar nexus
grizzled aspen
#

Evisc/crusher.

obsidian ore
#

You have a crit based build with no second wind + %50 crit tdr

#

that's your main problem

twin wagon
twin saddle
#

seriously you have a good opportunity to cause chaos in my house, if his point is "heavy eviscerator special le bad" then i WILL throw something

twin saddle
#

because that is a nonexistent advice in a build focused around it

remote lark
#

bloodthirsty is fine

#

shred is better but that's whatever

twin wagon
remote lark
#

playstyle issue

#

im going to go after your point about taking stun grenade tree

twin saddle
#

okay im listening

obsidian ore
#

no twbs also feels terrible with slow weapons imo

grizzled aspen
polar nexus
#

Fotf should have enough stagger to get you out of a lot of bad situation

twin saddle
#

if i need to shoot something, i shoot it with le bolt pistol

grizzled aspen
#

You don't need to anim cancel to use tknives well.

#

And you need to learn them for high havocs.

#

You don't have the ammo economy in higher tiers.

twin saddle
#

i thought about it long and hard and like, i barely use knives ever, so id rather have a panic button or room stun even if shit (i know its shit)

grizzled aspen
#

To use bullets, I mean.

twin saddle
#

Its just the most point efficient route to take

grizzled aspen
#

No it isn't.

#

If you're pathing through benediction anyway and taking second wind and enduring faith, it's more efficient to path through tknives.

remote lark
grizzled aspen
#

Five points to hit the starting travel node underneath stuns, three points to take tknives and path through the travel nodes.

remote lark
#

Here:

twin wagon
#

Thy wrath be swift is so far away from stun

#

big sacrifice

obsidian ore
#

This is what I meant by zealot needing a grenade rework, some guy a while ago was arguing with me about zealot's grenades pickrate

polar nexus
#

The nodes before and after a blitz should be taken into consideration

obsidian ore
#

I was like, if we actually could access them without sacrificing vital total points a lot more people would be willing to try grenades

grizzled aspen
polar nexus
obsidian ore
#

While throwing knives are beautiful and I love them to death, I want build diversity

polar nexus
#

Like bro. You spent so much to get there. Please use it

obsidian ore
#

Without actually sacrificing my main build talents

twin saddle
#

stun grenades stun in a huge radius for like, 9 or 10 seconds though hold up

obsidian ore
#

It needs to be similar to vet in that regard, where grenade choice is way less taxing

twin saddle
#

how is this bad in high difficulties

#

there must be something im missing

#

its a huge radius too

polar nexus
#

Stun nades are good

#

The pathing before is shit

twin saddle
#

Ah hm, i see

#

Could someone explain why 10% tougness on heavy attack kill is bad?

#

i kinda get the nodes before that

obsidian ore
#

Also, why the hell does relic need a point tax

#

Like cmon

twin wagon
#

Bistol mvp

polar nexus
#

With second wind

misty nova
twin saddle
#

I understand that, but for my build specifically, how can i dodge while special attack chainsawing.

mighty root
#

Yeah anything is good if you’re good and are knowledgeable about the game, but also some stuff is just more viable than others such as the auto pistol vs the plasma it’s just a clear choice

twin saddle
#

Wouldnt it be an exception to say that its actually not bad when you, you know, cant really dodge proper

polar nexus
#

And heavies are not always the best choice considering the weapon you're using

twin saddle
#

and it will also give you 50% TDR

mighty root
#

I’d get good balance

polar nexus
#

Because a a zealot a lot of talents will benefit from dodges

#

And that's a way to maintain full toughness in bad situation and not get chipped

lean lark
#

so I can see some reasoning

remote lark
#

@twin saddle

#

please read this top to bottom

#

oops i made a typo

#

one second

obsidian ore
mighty root
twin saddle
#

if your ability is down

#

because its guaranteed crits, meaning you get the ability regen

mighty root
#

Huh

lean lark
mighty root
#

Oh I read some more

twin saddle
#

So the special is not only for crushers. The entire crit reliance for the build is from the special attack. SO gunners, ragers, anything that you can slice in half with specials is special attack target.

lean lark
#

nothing wrong with shooting yourself in the foot so you can keep everyone alive

remote lark
#

So the issue is not actually bloodthirsty, heretic

#

in fact bloodthirsty is its second best choice behind shred

#

iirc

obsidian ore
#

Well you get the point regardless. I hate the point tax, and I want it gone

mighty root
#

Is he using evis?

#

Just use relic

remote lark
#

shut the fuck up fyre

mighty root
twin wagon
#

Fox/wolf telling a sergal to shut up

#

Lore accurate

mighty root
lean lark
twin wagon
#

WHy not

#

Just nerf zealot

mighty root
twin wagon
#

I'm serious, we have easy access to ludicrous amounts of damage mit and increase

lean lark
#

chorus still gives you undying + toughness gen

twin wagon
#

I can count the "bad talents" with a hand

mighty root
twin wagon
#

Still not zealot.

remote lark
#

cool

#

i got an infintie loading screen

#

out of fucking

PSYCH

#

REALLY?

mighty root
twin saddle
remote lark
#

rampage, always

#

it's required

#

i'm almost ready to give you my explanation

#

i just needed to test 1 more thing in psych

#

and my game fucking broke

#

fatshark is incompetent

placid fiber

You can spare yourself the effort, its fine

mighty root
mighty root
twin saddle

Maybe don’t be mean?

remote lark

that will let you do what you want to do

#

but easier

remote lark
#

fyre needs to die

mighty root
twin saddle
#

Is that the advice?

mighty root
twin saddle
#

OH, you guys are together?

mighty root
#

No

twin saddle
#

i only now noticed both of you have like, furry profile pics.

mighty root
twin saddle

I noticed the cat profile picture of Fyre way before, but only now i see that bark is a furry.

placid fiber
mighty root
#

God forbid I like cats

#

You like cats? Must be a furry

remote lark
#

The issue is that in this game, 90% of your 'defense' and 'survivability' is just 'kill thing faster so it doesn't hit me'.

By taking what you're taking, you're missing out on Sustained Assault which is a flat 25% increase.

You don't need martyrdom to oneshot crushers at ALL.

remote lark
twin saddle
remote lark
#

This build gives you more tdr uptime, damage, dodge distance / speed, and doesn't take 6 points into the stun tree or require you to run martyrdom to oneshot stuff

twin saddle
#

i just need a crit special attack, P much, ive told you

remote lark
#

i'm just saying you can drop martyrdom if you drop the stun grenade talent

#

and then you'll get to take IJ which gives you more survivability than the 10% toughness talent you wanted

placid fiber
mighty root
#

Yeah that stun tree is useless

remote lark
#

IJ gives you like 6 different stats with almost 100% uptime

twin saddle
#

i just, dont understand stealth in this game, its wayy to weird for me

remote lark
#

thats because stealth..

#

is bad!

#

and bad players take it!

#

its sole purpose is sneaking revives and objectives

mighty root
#

@remote lark where’s your 40 clear?

remote lark
#

you also need to grief your talent tree just to get it without griefing it harder

#

it practically forces you to path to loner

twin saddle
#

Well, im not a bad player, i dont run good stuff to challenge myself and because its more fun sometimes...

remote lark
#

if u want to take stealth with this build..

#

you'd need to do this:

twin saddle
#

And i dislike stealth as it is.

#

also like

#

i get that the plus 25% dmg keystone is good and all but

twin wagon
#

Bark don't forget the go to strat of kerillians

twin saddle
#

what do i need that 25% damage for anyway?

mighty root
#

Fury is better because of all the utility it provides

placid fiber
remote lark
#

xD

#

again stealth = cheesing revives and bjectives

#

not damage

mighty root
remote lark
#

even chorus will give u more overall damage value than stealth

#

cause it lets teammates damage for free

#

or dmg buff

mighty root
#

Boss dps, brake points

twin saddle
#

like seriously, its free 25% damage but like, my hordeclear is already good, i saw through every elite and specialist i CAN and i oneshot crushers with specials too

lean lark
twin saddle
#

so like, where is sustained assault really helping me here

remote lark
# remote lark

but yeah this build will also give u more toughness on average anyway

lean lark
#

great for carrying pubs with 0 brainpower involvdd

twin saddle
#

im talking sustained assault btw.

remote lark
#

:P

remote lark
#

also

#

ur horde clear is 'good'

twin saddle
#

ok it lingers but for what

remote lark
#

but it can be amazing

mighty root
#

Had a psyker that I carried through a 40

#

All wounds

The Best staff you’ve ever seen

And smite

#

With ep

remote lark
lean lark
#

was he bubble

remote lark
#

also IJ lets you dodge farther, more

#

same thing

#

why even take martyr at that point

#

you'll kill the same things just as quickly

#

but have full hp andm ore survivability

mighty root
remote lark
#

yes it does fyre

placid fiber
#

yeah it does

mighty root
#

Uh

remote lark
#

stop reading fatshark tooltips

#

fatshark lies.

placid fiber
#

ij increases dodge distance

twin wagon
placid fiber
#

and dodge recovery speed

mighty root
#

No way it does

remote lark
#

yea, it does

#

ij is broken

placid fiber
remote lark
#

best keystone zealot has

twin saddle
#

i guess sure, ill try going IJ

remote lark
#

ya

twin wagon
#

Daily reminder massacre on ogryn as well as fnp don't work

placid fiber
#

It isn't stated on the keystone itself

remote lark
#

also

mighty root
twin wagon
#

as advertised*

twin saddle
#

its probably good for closing in the gap with the heavy eviscerator

lean lark
twin wagon
#

For about 6 months now

lean lark
#

if you don't believe words

remote lark
#

instead of having to stop horde clearing to heavy them

#

xD

#

evisc is one of 'the' horde clearing weapons.. lean into it

#

'hordes' dont just mean chaff

#

or weak enemies

#

it can mean everything except ogryns

mighty root
remote lark
#

:B

mighty root
#

Maybe I just never paid attention to it

lean lark
#

it's easier to notice if you're on a slow mobility weapon like thammer

mighty root
#

I’ll try it with relic

lean lark
#
  • in-game you almost never notice it because you're too busy calculating the time it takes for the trapper to reach and shoot while you're clearing a bulwark pack
mighty root
#

It’s the only heavy weapon i like

remote lark
#

fyre what mark do u play

lean lark
#

ij is very good on relic blade

#

imo best keystone to run on it

placid fiber
remote lark
#

ij is best on mk2 but piety is better on mk10

placid fiber
#

iirc anyway

mighty root
remote lark
#

because you can horde clear with lights on mk10 to get invoc scourge and enduring uptime

#

if u take piety

#

i personally think its even better horde clear than ij mk2

#

but its hard to judge

#

even in psych

placid fiber
remote lark
#

:)

mighty root
#

Been too busy playing psyker with creeping flame spam

lean lark
#

I like my ij leakage rampage on relic blade with distain and sustained assault fotf stab dealing 40k boss dmg

mighty root
#

It’s so fun

twin wagon
#

Priest leaking

remote lark
#

leakage is just something i can't get behind

#

relic has too many animation locks that can fuck you

placid fiber
remote lark
#

if you swap ur sword on and off

mighty root
#

On peity knife I’d don’t think you’d want repoist because you already have a ton of crit chance what would you pair with precog?

remote lark
#

uncanny if ur doing piety knife probably

#

but riposte is still good

twin wagon
#

uncanny is trash

#

a youtuber said so

remote lark
#

it basically guarantees a crit on dodge

rocky nacelle
placid fiber
#

isn't piety knife precog and riposte?
