One thing's for certain. If I lose my Havoc progress because Havoc mode is nonfunctioning for several weeks, I'll be mighty upset.

#

Don't wanna work my way up to 25 again..

#

So close to 25 now.

#

Don't wanna lose it.

#

I can get used to that. And a crit on a crusher dome does serious work

#

The ttk vs maulers seems rough though

#

I'd stir away from Havok

#

It doesn't matter if your rank is 0, when FS is back and fixed their networking, you'll be able to hop to 40

Your displayed lvl is 40 anyway, after you've done it

My god that took a while

#

Been spamming the chaxe mk4 and that thing rips everything to shreds.

Issue is if I compare it vs a large horde to the heavy sword in the same situation the hs would be substantially ahead the same way the chaxe is stupidly ahead vs carapace

and im on 36mg concerta and 40mg vivanse
with the added bonus of 60mg of duloxetine and blood pressure meds so the other stuff dont kill me :3

and all that just because i may or may not have adhd, asbergers, CPTSD, persistent depressive disorder, hypersomnia and narcolepsy

Though I am probably going to be diagnosed with multiple new mental health issues soon, it depends how far therapy is going to help me-

Both are on the neurodivergence spectrum

hearty nebula
#

i mean

#

yea

#

but specifics matter for some reason

oak cargo
#

Well different therapies and medications work better depending on your diagnosis

#

Plus you get different kinds of support

#

Depending on your area

#

But always better to get a proper diagnosis than rely on self diagnosing obvs

Well there’s shadowheart she’s the basic bitch choice

#

Karlach is the true sweetheart tho

#

Laezel if you like frog pussy

drowsy steppe
#

so technically she is

stone fern
#

i hate elves and i love humans

drowsy steppe
stone fern
#

so shes a net zero for me

stone fern
#

firebitch seems the closest thing to human

oak cargo
#

It takes shadowheart 2 and a bit ACTS to become bearable

#

And even then she can’t hit a guiding bolt SCcrying

#

There’s also Minthara but she’s evil

potent gate
#

It's not her fault the game uses a dog shit modifier for her

#

Karlach is always right choice though frfr

oak cargo
#

Looking like Joshua Graham after a hug with Karlach but it’s worth it

drowsy steppe
#

we look so cute together

its the opposite for me

I either recruit her or just hand her head over to the tyrs

Sorry with their +90 on savings throws, they're fine. Now they've punched you to death because they ignore all resistances and can attack 400 times per turn

My friend ruined BG3 for me because of that

just the one thing? or you start losing other keys too

drowsy steppe

#

your movement starts getting slow and stopping?

stone fern

ult and dodge so far

wasd?

cuz my pc has the curse of the 13th gen intel upon it

and its family

stone fern

just sprint randomly stopping

zinc talon
#

when it gets really hairy sometimes, the thing starts throwing a piston and the system interrupts spike to keep it back on track where it was going

#

and as a result my keyboard gets knocked down the totem pole of importance to basically it dies or has a stroke until it's done dying or having a stroke

clever swan
#

if you're ultra desperate to solve it you can try getting an app that shows the keys you're pressing, record that app + the game at the same time (nvidia share or something) and when you notice a missed input look at the recording. if the recording shows that the app didn't even see the key then your keyboard might be breaking @stone fern

didn't find any guide on zealot so

drowsy steppe
#

a zealot guide is in WIP supposedly

deep imp

WIP?

work in progress

just ask a question about what talent recommended or about a weapon here if you need

What are the ideal blessings, perks, and dump stat for the Heavy Sword?

I see Defense is weighted significantly different for it than what I am used to

then ctrl + v here

you should follow your heart

quick straw pole, when was the last time yall went holy relic and/or corruption aura for team support

stone fern
#

when i played havoc

zinc talon
#

instead of removing your right eye to get another talent point for attack speed or finesse damage or whatever

drowsy steppe
#

yuh

#

this chat gets super overzealous with +10% attak speed sometimes

zinc talon
#

last time yall took stun grenades

stone fern
#

oh stuns very often

drowsy steppe
#

I sold company secrets to the highest bidder for +10% attack speed

zinc talon
#

or swapped out of a throwing knife build just to incendiary cuz you wanted those

stone fern
#

i like them on rashad marty

#

immo grenades never

zinc talon
#

last time you used a shock maul crusher or thunder hammer

drowsy steppe
#

I became a hired assassin killing VIPs around the world for +10% attack speed

zinc talon
#

don't answer me, answer yourself

stone fern
#

shock maul since release

zinc talon
#

(lol)

stone fern
#

thunderhammer like a week ago?

zinc talon
#

good man/woman/personthing

drowsy steppe
#

I changed my entire personality for +10% attack speed

#

you wanna know why

#

you wanna know why how I got these scars

all this to say, if you're using weapons that aren't and/or haven't been the meta for a while

and often enough

what you think of this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luKNLX96_vI

This video is a Zealot build for Warhammer 40,000 Darktide focused on using the Thunder Hammer to crush the toughest of enemies! This is a fun build that ramps up in damage output the more damage you take, meaning you'll be able to one shot pretty much everything in the game (except monstrosities). All the gameplay is on Auric Maelstrom difficul...

drowsy steppe

its for slight (supposedly) dps boost

zinc talon
#

you're not building your talents around a fkn third light breakpoint on triple green naked ragers

#

talents support you not the thing in your hands

drowsy steppe
#

I became a heretic for +10% attack speed

drowsy steppe

I sold my body for +10% attack speed

after getting off that soapbox

I dont grab unholy fervor/holy revenant and I also go for Blazing Piety

zinc talon
#

I'm prolly biased (I am not) coming from ogryn cuz it's been vaguely split into thirds on playerbase tree outfitting

#

in terms of the overall weighting someone puts in each tree

hearty nebula
#

ogryns talents make me retch

#

i really hope they rework him soon

zinc talon
#

folks just play the career they want and the career is good enough to reward em for it

drowsy steppe
#

same

hearty nebula
#

cause having like 60% of the talent tree trying to beeline you into just spamming fucking heavy attacks is like

#

dogshit ngl

#

not because it's actually bad to do

#

but because it's fucking boring

muted pike
zinc talon
#

so coming in here and seeing all the grabassin and baboonery over a claw sword or knife variant and why made me think

thorn sable
#

In fairness a lot of people literally only spam lights

deep imp
hearty nebula
#

oh we dont care about claw sword or using knife

#

like

muted pike
#

Wait wait wait. Woag

hearty nebula
#

they're fine weapons and u can pull weight with em

thorn sable
#

So forcing them to only heavy spam is 100% change šŸ˜‚

ornate bone
#

this is my offensive build, is this not good or what

#

apparently not meta?

hearty nebula
#

the issue is when some dipshit youtuber or some fuckin noob goes on gameslantern and basically just gets spoonfed some dogshit build

drowsy steppe
hearty nebula
#

no

#

it's not meta

drowsy steppe
#

but change it to piety over IJ

ornate bone
deep imp
hearty nebula
#

and also lack critical information

#

we don't know what weapons you're using

#

because tree changes depending on which weapon if you're doing meta

drowsy steppe

ogryn guide isn't like bad but it's dogshit layout makes it annoying to read

fleet zealot
hearty nebula
#

and use throwing knife

muted pike
#

There is a huge difference between "boring but very effective" like psyker just spamming purge staff at hordes, pushing stuff away with l1 when necessary, and using brain burst in between to keep busy/help vs gunners/kill specials

And ogryn being boring and less effective.

People can get over boring if they see results is my point

ornate bone
drowsy steppe
fleet zealot
#

Also blood redemption is completely unneeded

drowsy steppe
#

you dont really need to use flamer btw šŸ™‚

fleet zealot
#

Or whatever is melee kills give 50% more toughness

ornate bone
#

is this why i“ve been losing havoc? i don“t know if i“m gonna have as much fun with another build. i made these because they were so much fun to play with.

such a shame that royale with cheese retired

its been awhile since I use heavy sword

fleet zealot

Does nothing

drowsy steppe

if its missing 1 dodge at 60%

fleet zealot
#

If there was a stat showing toughness gain wasted

drowsy steppe

you can try to aim for a stat spread thats 76% across the board, or near it

You’d well above everyone else

muted pike

All the +1 dodges are above 80 and unreachable

yuh I just dont remember whats the max effective dodge of heavy sword

stone fern
#

thats how bad that was

zinc talon
# deep imp wich weapons

eviscerator, crusher, shockmaul/assault chainsword/axe when I feel like it; bolter, flamer, bolt pistol, laspistol, braced/infantry autogun when I feel like it

muted pike
#

Ahh I see

zinc talon
#

a majority of the time it's crusher and bolter/flamer

fleet zealot
#

There is one more dodge between 80 and 100 we can’t get

muted pike
#

So dump defense, got it

zinc talon
#

but bolt pistol is just so much fun it's about all I'm using rn

lean lark

between bolt pistol and flamer is all Ive been using really

fleet zealot
#

Im too busy moving today tho

drowsy steppe
#

keep in mind we give advice on minmax perspective here

#

so when we say BAD

ornate bone
hearty nebula
drowsy steppe
#

its because of that perspective

hearty nebula

trust

zinc talon
#

it's relative to their playstyle/niche

ornate bone

I built my setup as a Total Team Support Designated Team Mom role

ornate bone
zinc talon
#

relic for free revives and to push pause on one fight in every room, stun grenades and ally revive speed for even more push pause and free rescues, corruption aura cuz Team Mom gotta kiss booboos and keep everyone from throwin tantrums

fleet zealot
#

Immo nades are the best nade in havocs

#

They get so much value

zinc talon
#

crusher because it can kill anything up to field bosses before it gets back onto its feet

drowsy steppe
#

I played havoc with tknives on my fotf build

zinc talon
#

and bolter/pistol for long range special delete

#

or flamer for when it's around the 4th and BBQ is on my mmind

Why use Heavy Sword over Rashad? Any point?

Deathblow + Headtaker and Bromentum + Headtaker are a wash, Rashad dumpsters hordes and doesn't struggle with carapace as much as Heavy Sword

stopthat

havoc showed how actually powerful it was

drowsy steppe

no lie

at least from my perspective

auric is baby mode now xd

are you built similiarly to mine? new builds are always intradesting

I use claw when I want to crit cdr abuse on steroids

ornate bone
# drowsy steppe auric is baby mode now xd

it is, but if the game is now like "use this build or die", which is obviously true because i HAVE been losing a lot, then i don“t think i wanna play anymore. if i can“t use the stuff i like

feels silly now

than FUCKING FOTF

#

My only issue with hsword is that carapace exists

deep imp
#

what you think of this?

zinc talon
#

I think you'll be okay with just one wound curio

#

that gives you three

zinc talon
#

which in the moment, is a freebie get out of jail card for getting combo'd and skullfucked

#

which is wont to occur

hard nexus
zinc talon
#

when you only have two wounds, your backbrain is in a total feast or famine mode and it can affect your calculus down to the very buttons you push

#

yeah overdramatic shut up

zinc talon
#

the third wound lets your danger goblin ease into getting closer and closer to small scared animal mode

ornate bone
#

you seem to be really getting into it when you play

#

i wish

zinc talon
#

as there's a confused screaming mode right before that

#

all in all I think it makes for a more levelheaded player, certainly helps me

hard nexus
#

dodge more

#

also

#

your crusher is really badly build

zinc talon
#

yup just don't get hit

#

it's one thing people make it so hard

thorn sable
#

I may have mixed up some weapon blessings

ornate bone
#

shoot or whack at enemies until they die

hard nexus
#

instead of rampage

#

as the cleave is very nice to have

#

if not needed

thorn sable
#

I can’t remember if I go wrath or rampage

hard nexus
#

probably wrath

#

no until death kinda sucks

#

but i get it

#

hrm

#

Yeah it happens

#

But I have learned to play very careful around crusher

#

And massive boost to book uptime means another person can go full damage

#

Which is imo way more useful than me having the ability to play like a mong šŸ˜‚

ornate bone
#

i used to say these things about relic before it was cool

#

this is such an elevating feeling right now

I’ve been doing it this way since like day 4 of havoc existing šŸ˜‚

i was RIGHT

i will now go away and go be right somewhere else

Maybe you'll finally win at that

even if I upgrade the weapon, the "Light attack" will stay at 217?

Don't leave us in suspense

#

Psyker toughness regen is for sure the best in the game

zinc talon
#

when it can do 80% of a bulwark's health in a single swing and the same to a crusher with a lil okiedoke followup attack added on

#

and oneshot everything else all the way down

#

I'm content to let nature do be like that

#

it is reliant on you sustaining around a 60% weakspot hit rate through the entire mission

#

so gotta get that in your muscle memory

hearty nebula
#

that's

#

ass

zinc talon
#

once you get to where you're pulling a reliable 60+ weakspot hit rate with the boost to crit rate a generic critmaxing build will give you

#

the law of numbers starts getting really fucky with the two together

#

cuz it means swing on swing through the mission, every second swing you connect with, is a weak spot crit hit

thorn sable
hard nexus
zinc talon
#

good

#

that's where the skullcrusher's damage uptiers really shine

muted pike
zinc talon
#

because you're also pairing it with skullcrusher's damage increase

muted pike
#

Mk4 chaxe kills crusher in 2 lights once you get headtaker+slaughterer rolling, its the nuts

zinc talon
#

I'd have sillier breakpoints on the crusher and not be so reliant on crit % if I took carapace

thorn sable
#

And why other weapons are generally better

zinc talon
#

but it'd take away from the damage scaling you get from just tackin on to the base stats you're already boosting with your build

muted pike
#

Legit 1 taps everything but carapace and unyielding, and it 2 taps them

hard nexus
#

also, weakspot and crit damage are just

#

not very good in general

zinc talon
#

it's easier to get caught and swallowed up by several things at once with the chainaxe because of its tunnel vision attacking

hard nexus
#

you’d get more value out of +elites

muted pike
#

Chaxe isnt great at horde clear, but it isnt terrible

zinc talon
#

valid, this is the opposite

#

this kills everything while it's still on its ass before it gets back up

#

oneshots all the way to ogri

#

but has the CC and disengage the chainaxe is lackin

#

so the team benefits

muted pike
#

Throw a push attack+heavy into a horde then 1 tap damn near everything in the game with lights

hard nexus
zinc talon
#

well yeah, that's what drew me to it

#

cuz the point of darktide is not to kill faster and faster or more things at a time

#

the point of darktide, is to not die

#

if everyone doesn't die for long enough, the mission ends

#

so I've built around the idea of bringing the not-dyingest gear I can find

#

unfortunately that puts me in the position of keeping the other idiots in my pugs alive

#

cuz if they die, it's easier for me to die

#

(that was okri's entire crux for the first like year the game was out cuz ogryn were so dependent on cohesion)

muted pike
#

Hence why dueling sword is in class of its own

zinc talon
#

duelling sword is just three knives in a trenchcoat

muted pike
#

Doesnt die but also kills everything

zinc talon
#

I couldn't put my finger on why I didn't like weapons in that vague genre/class

#

but someone put it to me really well

#

the dagger and duelling sword are super killy but what you don't get is the ability to turn around and stand your ground in a fight, ever

hearty nebula
#

i dont like DS because it takes the fun out of the game

zinc talon
#

it's always panic dodging slippery weasel the whole mission

muted pike
#

DS is an absurd combination of "Cant die if cant be touched" and "an enemy cannot kill you if they are dead"

hearty nebula
#

like sure i might be kind of on the meta snob train but fuck

zinc talon
#

the crusher, slab shield, eviscerator etc etc let you plant your feet and hold the line

hearty nebula
#

DS is just braindead

zinc talon
#

so I think I glommed onto specifically that without havin words for it in my head coming from a maintank to other classes

#

to me, an enemy that spends its entire time CC'd and takes longer to kill is less dangerous than an enemy you kill more quickly but has the potential to shank you in the kidney before he does

#

also if I keep the whole room on its ass you guys clean the place up wonderfully

muted pike
#

What a guy

zinc talon
#

you get free swings, I get high health squaddies, you get big numbers at the end, I get rashuns

thorn sable
#

Dead people by contrast stay dead

zinc talon
#

I mean in the sense of the max impact staggers like making the reaper stumble back or breaking a bulwark's guard

#

the moment they start that animation, they're more or less always gonna be locked in, so from that spot in time you have however many number of seconds to kill them

#

it's just a matter of findin the hook line and sinker for that particular enemy at the health he's at when you first bonk em

#

yeah that thrust crusher can oneshot everything up to ogri

#

but other blessings ar emore ideal in a law of large numbers sense, like opportunist

#

I'm just on a kick rn where I'm trying to see how many thrust stacks I can get in while still CCing as per usual

zinc talon
#

the lil extra half seconds in the swings

hard nexus
#

any weapon that can take opportunist has better options

thorn sable
#

I think after hitting a particular skill level it’s mostly a preference and play style thing

zinc talon
#

it's synergistic with the crusher though because of the amount of damage you get out of weakspot/crit hits, paired with skullcrusher cuz you already just hit them to cc them, paired with backstab cuz they're knocked around backwards

ornate bone
#

Chainaxe is honestly so cool

zinc talon
#

all of those other things benefit from opportunist

ornate bone
#

A freaking chainsaw as an axe, how cool is that

hard nexus
zinc talon
#

so it's a more noticable step up than weapons that don't uptier their damage as much or don't have skullcrusher to benefit from

#

sure, valid

hard nexus
#

slaughterer gives you more damage more consistently

zinc talon
#

I think of it like another blessing spot for 10% damage to elites or specialists

#

it's gonna give you an increase across everything though

hard nexus
#

so does slaughterer

#

and slaughterer is 40%

zinc talon
#

opportunist is every hit every time, slaughterer is four seconds then you're missing a blessing slot

hard nexus
#

requires staggering enemies

zinc talon
#

granted yeah in hordes it outpaces opportunist just fine

hard nexus
#

and then hitting that staggered enemy

zinc talon
#

which you're gonna be doin anyawy

hard nexus
#

keeping slaughterer up against armor packs is very easy

zinc talon
#

that's what skullcrusher relies on anyway

hard nexus
#

correct

zinc talon
#

opportunist is just the peas to skullcrusher's carrots

hard nexus
#

disagreed

zinc talon
#

plus, bosses

#

crusher falls behind vs field bosses

#

rending really helps there

#

granted, you gotta have a way to stun em sure

fleet zealot
#

what’s crushers adms

hard nexus
zinc talon
#

but I run relic, and there's almost always another vet shout or ogryn shout/charge in the squad in the laarger sense

hard nexus
zinc talon
#

and field bosses if you can stun em say, twice? in the span of say half a minute?

#

if it's not just you and the boss and the team's on em, two full stuns on anything will be half its health at least

#

but this's all professional armchair generaling cuz the crusher's already lacking vs bosses

hard nexus
#

considering slaughterer not only gives you 40% more damage, but also 40% more stagger and cleave, even further enabling skullcrusher

#

opportunist will just fall behind

zinc talon
#

I'll give slaughterer another shot I just enjoy how skullcrusher and opportunist are already reliant on the same thing that needs to happen to proc them

#

so you get two gold stars for the price of one doing what you're already doing anyway

#

across every enemy everywhere minus field bosses

#

it's like knowing how tohaving to drive on the highway for a decade before you get a car that has cruise control, I guess

Bye chat

oh

I miss them already

drowsy steppe
#

youre safe...for now

#

šŸ™‚

zinc talon
#

I am noticing tho, even though thrust is a fun change of pace, it's getting me caught up by virtue of just generally making me slower in my swings

#

so I'm not max-speed dodge/push/block trolling to keep my momentum up and make distance the defense instead of just timing the dodge

#

in auric maels and havocs it only has to happen once or twice and now you're sitting in time out

zinc talon

Opportunist would barely help on things that aren’t cara

zinc talon

oh then you have your niche and time in the seat then, good

fleet zealot

Like 5% on everything else

drowsy steppe
#

reading old chat logs

thorn sable
#

And being able to mag dump bosses when skull hunting is handy bc lowbies tend to be pretty iffy at boss damage

drowsy steppe
#

came across 'until death is a dead node. Even 10% attack speed is better'

#

this guy sacrificed his family for 10% attack sped

fleet zealot
#

Layers of offense

drowsy steppe
#

I once posted a build of mine

it was for a dclaw

the biggest criticism was me not taking 10% attack speed

I hate it here

i dont want people to know

zinc talon

this is the bolter I've been using forever, I haven't even bothered to upgrade it cuz that's how it rolled back when the crafting was revamped and I'd gotten used to the weapon to the point it didn't matter about the shawnhmmone point five nerdgepercent increasepepe_nerd to reload speed PepeREEE

fleet zealot
#

For flamers specifically

placid fiber
deep imp
placid fiber
#

because they get damage from the burn stat

fleet zealot
# deep imp why

Because flamer damage comes from the burn dot and not the impact damage

zinc talon
#

even for left click huh

deep imp
#

oh okay

fleet zealot
#

60 to 80 is one impact damage which is nothing

deep imp
#

thanks for explain

thorn sable
#

Mobility is also fine to dump on flame

placid fiber
zinc talon
#

yeah it already sucks to sprint with

#

like, as bad or worse than the shield

deep imp
#

I'm playing this, but feel like the Tigrus was hard to control horde

zinc talon

I'd vote mobility too

thorn sable

You’re only bringing it out for a Barbie

thats what i imagine how your head looks like yeah

#

given some of the things you say

placid fiber
zinc talon
#

it's worth mentioning the heavy rev cleave attack on the tigrus has a bigger damage differential than the light rev on the new eviscerator

#

it takes more time but the damage increase is there, the new one is basically indistinguishable saw cleave from just swinging

hearty nebula
#

real

drowsy steppe
#

I love the fluiditiy of the mk3 more

zinc talon
#

yep I prefer it too

ornate bone
misty nova
#

It's a combo weapon but with mediocre rewards for being a combo weapon almosttroll

zinc talon
#

the new one is prolly better at its numbers and metrics

#

but it's just so boring

zinc talon
#

if I could get the auto rev stab from the new evis onto the old one I'd prolly go back to maining with it

#

love that attack, it's so unnecessarily violent

hearty nebula
#

bwarg

zinc talon
#

and a fun lil dispatch finisher to be done with a wounded enemy so you can pivot

#

swing swing youthought! push stab saw proceed

misty nova
#

Or to snatch a dog midair

zinc talon
#

that's the ** best **

potent gate
#

They should update the specials damage ticks imo

zinc talon
#

I ** love** catching dogs with big attacks midair

It being so backloaded is kind of bent

I love throwin that out in the elevator rides

somebody isn't ready for it every time

I promise you if you can find a lil repeat quip to toss out in the beginning loading lobby or the elevator you will win more missions

cuz that one little dumb chuckle you made some rando have is gonna be the d ifference between whether he comes to get you or you go sit in time out

rate my new duelling sword setup

spring palm
#

shocking

misty nova
zinc talon
#

well unfortunately

#

even though lethal proximity is bigly yuge for stability at all times

#

falter on a shock mace doesn't seem to really do much at all for +30% impact at all times

#

I thought falter would pair with lethal prox's aoe size and I could get stun grenades in a pistol magazine

#

doesn't seem like it

#

falter doesn't ever really seem to work on its own melee swings

#

I just dont notice extra bonk where the regular attack wouldn't have bonked

#

at least with crusher/paul/slab blessings, you put on more woomph and you can see it in how far you send em flyin

#

and how many in a swing you send flying

#

^this, is prolly why I use the crusher

#

like what keeps me lookin forward to the next sitdown when I'm doin something else

#

I just love gettin that perfect swing in where they're massed up or on the ground, and you wouldn't normally even come close to killin them with that swing

#

but the skullcrusher, the activate, the thrust, the opportunist, the whatever

#

or all of it cuz you're a crusha connasewwa

#

and you just balefire the poor fuck

#

bolt weapons have a yuge amount of that experience and aesthetic too

#

most satisfying weapons to use and use well

#

for all their clunkiness

#

oh my god, the flamer with falter

#

penetrating flame and fan the flames

#

oh my GOD yall

hearty nebula
#

i think the noobie was confused by how hard i was pushing melee lmao

#

just the regular ahh RB MKX build

zinc talon
#

whoops

#

so that's a flat 60% bypass of resistance

#

then 75% more impact after that

#

while also layin 4% brittleness per puff

zinc talon
#

crazy

#

if you puff once to stagger

#

by the time you've gone back to work after that one stun, if they're suppressed (which they will be), they root in place and go nowhere

#

Thank for coming to my ted talk

Also do you think they should remove or change until death for how much its a needed pic until death is?

The literal second chance is always a pick

#

ogryn can eat like 3 overheads without blocking and survive

#

vet can eat one and not take any damage as long as theyre at full toughness

#

zealot doesnt have any of that and has worse toughness sustain than an ogryn

#

until death is fine imo

And imo it should also be that way in standard game

ye i get that its a slow easy to dodge attack

the issue is ogryn has far worse dodges than any other class

@placid fiber TWERK IT UP LAD
