Except now we have dueling sword

#

And relic blades are also really good

idle wagon
frank night
#

Its been THIRTY SECONDS STAN

runic grotto
#

There are like 6 different chain weapons

idle wagon
runic grotto
#

2 of them are axes

idle wagon
#

the sword

runic grotto
#

There are chain swords and eviscerators

idle wagon
#

i ran both

runic grotto
#

Chain swords always kinda sucked

idle wagon
#

i used it a lot to kill big enemies was fun

grizzled aspen
#

Mk13 chord is better than both evisc models and its not even close.

runic grotto
#

Maybe, I am just a big fan of the other evis

idle wagon
#

i did play over a year ago so

runic grotto
#

whatever the newer ones mark is

idle wagon
#

i think it was the 2 handed, recently switched to the force sword

runic grotto
#

@idle wagon What do you want? Do you want a build or something else?

idle wagon
#

relic*

#

i mean im working towards a meta build, just i dont get good rolls XD

runic grotto
#

Like, just tell us and in 5 seconds boom all your wishes come true

#

wdym you don't get good rolls

idle wagon
#

for blessings

runic grotto
#

Just change them

idle wagon
#

i got nothing to change them to?

runic grotto
#

Get the blessings to change them to

idle wagon
#

they changed it idk how anymore

runic grotto
#

mastery in inventory

#

Go there

stone fern
#

now the more mastry you have on a weapon family the more points you get to unlock blessings

#

once unlocked you can put them on that weapon freely

idle wagon
#

my current stuff

fleet zealot
#

take surgical on bistol and take off stam for flak or elites, you also want to find a collateral dump one (max potential collat 60%, all other stats max potential 80%)

#

ur talents are pretty, weird but im too eepy

#

your curios can be fully modified now no more locks

#

yo do not want wound curios unless you are martyrdom

idle wagon
fleet zealot
#

cause auric is easy

idle wagon
#

i said help me with the build not be a asshole

fleet zealot
#

im not exactly focusing just on you

tropic pelican
#

can take the point from blood redemption and put it on one of your blazing piety paths

fleet zealot
#

u can uhh wait till i'm done with all my other stuff

solar mountain
#

get rid of blood redemption, and holy cause. grab rising fury and righteous warrior.

tropic pelican
#

mk10 relic blade also doesn't really need thy wrath be swift so you could put those points somewhere else as well

#

gunners, reapers and shotgunners also don't stun/push you anymore

stone fern
# idle wagon

tbh i really wouldnt use beacon of purity outside of havoc

idle wagon
stone fern
#

oh yeah carry on then

#

but still beacon of purity is jut for blight spreads

#

its not that useful outside of it

idle wagon
#

has kept me alive and this is a more defensive support build

#

i got other build tree as well

solar mountain
idle wagon
#

i cant remember which is blood redemption

fleet zealot
#

throwing knives fall off in havoc cause of harder breakpoints and pox hardened modifier makes it even worse

#

so having a backup immolation build is good

idle wagon
#

oh, ill take it from second wind, i dont time dodges as well as i kill yet, i can dodge some but not the best

fleet zealot
#

take it from blood redemption

stone fern
#

second wind is great

fleet zealot
#

second wind is the best talent

#

in the game

solar mountain
#

Getting better at dodges makes you kill better

stone fern
#

blood redemption gives you like 4 toughness per kill

fleet zealot
#

if you feel you aren't using it enough, you need to learn to dodge better

stone fern
#

its not that good

fleet zealot
stone fern
#

its not as much as second wind anyways

#

and its always active

#

you can dodge enemies from far away and suddenly you get 20 toughness KEKW_ogryn

idle wagon
#

if you guys wanna send me better trees do so, but atm this is what i got to work with

fleet zealot
#

just something i threw together, i don't like ecclesiarch's call because teammates aren't building for it so it's meaningful impact is low

fleet zealot
idle wagon
#

also have this

#

Backstabs just aren’t always achievable so sometimes it’s a dead node, not bad just situational.

fleet zealot
#

majority of weapons have a backstab farming combo

idle wagon
#

my brain now hurts

fleet zealot
#

i hate this

solar mountain
#

Most of the time I’m just stabbing someone in the head rather than going behind them but this is just subjective thoughts at this point

fleet zealot
#

if you have someone running beacon already, taking benediction is just so good

#

saves you 2 points

#

not having purge the unclean sucks

idle wagon
#

anyone wanna hop in vc and explain

#

or help me out

#

I guess maybe the tox flamer jostled me up into the air and broke my guard?

#

I'm genuinely baffled

stone fern
#

🚬

#

an fps gamer would have known....

zinc talon
#

yep, zigged when I shoulda zagged

#

classic pitfall

#

I guess that's just havoc 40, was my first playthrough at that rank

#

that no toughness grace period is just especially awful on ogryn

#

all my deaths were preluded by going from full health to ten health before I could even turn around

#

get lined up by a group of standard shooters or one/two gunners and that's it, life is tough on these streets

lean lark
#

the director on its way to spawn 3 scab stalkers positioned exactly around you with a 90° difference of location each so you lose 20% of your hp instantly

#

fuck hav40 scab stalkers

zinc talon
#

I'm not sure if there's any real room for personal improvement on it either

#

it's just one frame outta 150fps they all turn and blam

#

I guess you can lower the chances with better los and placement but dorktard gonna dorktard, it won't help prevent it entirely

runic grotto
#

I remember someone posted some math here

#

Wait which one is leakage

fleet zealot
#

leakage is strength based on current charge

runic grotto
#

Shit I confused leakage with heatsink

#

nvm then

kindred pier
#

Anyone else thinks this is useless? By the time you come out of holding the relic your team should've already disposed of all the stunned enemies

#

so theres nobody to actually hit you and use the damage reduction granted by this

visual stream
#

The damage upgrade is debatably not worth the point either but if you have the spare point and really want it, sure

stone fern
kindred pier
stone fern
#

by the time you get to 5 pulses a zealot with a thammer or a ds4 would have done more damage to a boss

#

actually even a taxe

runic grotto
#

Why would you need 30% tdr when you just stunlocked everything and gave everyone +100 gold toughness?

#

I mean it's not bad, 30% tdr is nice but 20% damage is just better in all situations

visual stream
#

In a very point-taxed tree like zealot's, I would say neither are worth but the TDR is miles further behind

runic grotto
#

20% is a lot

kindred pier
runic grotto
#

Pop relic after entering a new area instead?

visual stream
#

The problem with that is that with how long 5 pulses' worth of stunning is, everything should be dead before you even get the buff

runic grotto
visual stream
#

You're kind of wasting the other utility by using it before a fight and not stunning or advancing with it when the pulses top your golden toughness and have enough to keep replenishing it if you take ranged damage on approach

kindred pier
#

I meant the dmg buff

stone fern
#

tbh if you think of it that way having an ogryn around with the heavy attack aura is better

runic grotto
#

I can't think of any reasons that make 30% tdr better than 20% damage

visual stream
pliant otter
#

Morning, this good for zealot or should I swap the 5% crit thing? for.. idk unyielding?

visual stream
# pliant otter

The generally agree-upon rule is that you never want any of the crit perks on a weapon, I'm not a revo user but I can see Unyielding fitting for reapers and bulwarks

#

Not sure what else fits better if there is something that does

pliant otter
#

Interesting, noted with the crit thing

#

Thanks

visual stream
#

Np np

#

Especially with Surgical, a crit chance perk only gives you an extra 1/20 chance versus 25% extra damage on every attack against any enemy with that armor type

kindred pier
#

I just put +25% bonus for Infested and Unyielding enemies on every weapon, smite thy heretics

visual stream
#

Why infested ooc?

#

It only covers poxwalkers and dogs, both of which are already very squishy without it

kindred pier
#

nothing else

#

I know its unoptimal

visual stream
#

I would recommend almost anything else as a damage perk other than groaners slugsleepy

grizzled aspen
#

You only run infested on some ogryn weapons.

visual stream
#

Infested has a use at all? That's interesting

grizzled aspen

The bots are evolving to find new ways to disappoint

What kind of perks n blessings do you find feels nice on relic blade

FUCK YES

#

I remember my art idea from last night

#

we're so back

lean lark
#

i only take that on hav40

hearty nebula
#

it's

#

eh

#

you already have golden toughness

#

which means you have 100% DR for however many hits that's gonna last basically unless you eat a crusher overhead or smth, and if you're running a good comp you should basically always have it

lean lark
#

random burster event, the 30% tdr makes you keep toughness intact

#

if i can get the 30% tdr i will grab it

#

if not i dont go out of my way to get it

pliant otter
#

Zealot without book at havoc is nono?

lean lark
#

you can

flint imp
pliant otter
#

I see, so what would be the most meta, thing to bring as a zealot if Im trying to get havoc 40 done?

#

Max I have cleared is 32

#

But as a psiker mainly

spare dome
#

cause thats not how they do

pliant otter
#

Only swap to zealot when nobody wants to swap for a cleanse aura

lean lark
#

prob the latter

spare dome
#

deffo the latter yea

#

you only need 1 gold toughness to tank anything lmao

flint imp
spare dome
#

but bursters will always set your toughness to 0 if you get hit

#

otherwise vets wouldnt even run VoC, they'd just tank everything with Iron Will

What is with the stabby w/ some-what slashy swords being op? Cuz this is one of the best weapons in rogue legacy 2... and the dueling sword hella fucking broken in darktide... :/

#

You can hit really fast with the saber in rogue legacy 2... kinda about the same speed as light spamming after you use chastise with the dueling sword if not a little bit faster

fleet zealot

#

I want a freaking 2h battle axe that is the strongest most broke melee, not a finesse stabby stab sword lol

placid fiber
#

They'd probably make the dodges suck worse than the relic blade/ogryn shield/power sword, tho...

#

and not give a way to compensate for said shitty dodges(at least at first)

Good day kindred

THat was preferably an axe/chain-axe <.<

Chain axe would be dope

Yeah

The models clearly exist

Looking at scab mauler

#

We should get to loot it off them

grizzled aspen

There's a lore reason why we don't take traitor weaponry.

grizzled aspen
#

All weapons, from the lowly laspistol to the great and terrible leman russ can bear heretical markings that will corrupt the user, even if they are unaware of them.

Speaking of ds3, haven't heard anything on the archthrones overhaul mod lately.

like from everything ive seen theyve certainly done a lot

lament blaze
#

When taking boltgun in high level havoc primarily for bossing, is pinning fire still what you want?

grizzled aspen
#

No.

neat grove
lament blaze
#

I'd assume going puncture cavalcade

grizzled aspen
#

Boltgun wants shattering puncture for carapace and boss deletion, otherwise cavalcade puncture.

lament blaze
#

ohhh shattering huh

neat grove
#

gunning down a group of crushers do be kinda nice

grizzled aspen
#

Cavalcade puncture with piety can guarantee crits for ~2/3 of your mag on average so you get big bleed on a train of elites.

neat grove
#

give them lorge bois some soda

lament blaze
#

i rarely pull out boltgun for crushers i usually try to stagger with ds or just kill them quick

grizzled aspen
#

Though you won't be cleaving in havoc, so you have to make sure you hit your headshots.

neat grove
#

well spearhead does

lament blaze
#

yeah not bistol

grizzled aspen
#

If it's like one crusher by himself, just kill him in melee.

twilit otter
#

Yea boltgun is not for crushers

neat grove
grizzled aspen
#

Not in high havocs, you don't.

#

I promise.

twilit otter
#

Depends on the team comp and game type

neat grove
#

cool i still use it that way

grizzled aspen
#

Ammo tins give you one singular bullet.

lament blaze
#

i think if you have a surv vet you can

#

i usually end high level havoc with like half ammo because i rarely whip it out

#

its bosses or emergencies only

#

maybe once or twice for a sniper if i cant knife

neat grove
#

a groupd of 6 crushers and 6 bulwark is an emergency

twilit otter
#

Zealots in havoc 40 are melee 99% of thr time

will do all of the killing*

or an ogryn will just throw a box of grenades and clear the next 12 rooms

lament blaze
#

ive yet to have an ogryn whip ass in havoc but ive also only played havoc with 2 ogryns.

#

low sample size

neat grove
#

i did one lower havoc with 3 ogryn and me a zealot

#

it was very easy

twilit otter
neat grove
#

2 shields and one with a club and some big gun

lament blaze
#

my 40 was the classic
2 psyker 1 zealot 1 vet

twilit otter
#

How is 2 psyker classic?

neat grove
#

double bubble

twilit otter
#

Thought it was 2 x
Zealot

neat grove
#

classic destiny

lament blaze
#

no it wasnt 2 bubble

#

oh is that uncommon?

#

i thought 2 psyker for better ammo economy was peak

twilit otter
#

A single pysker can keep bubble up 24/7

lament blaze
#

2nd psyker had vent

twilit otter
copper hawk
#

My h40 was 3 psykers

twilit otter
#

Cycling chorus

copper hawk
#

Only one ran bubble

#

It was me and this 1k+ lvl psyker babysitting the other two

hexed igloo
twilit otter
#

Psyker can die a lot easier than zealot if you account until death and holy revenebt

copper hawk
#

The scoreboard was stupid

lament blaze
#

we had a bubble psyker running smite that did like 0 damage but smite was lowkey really nice

copper hawk
#

Two of which were running purg staves

#

Yea

#

Imo ideal is 2 zealot 1 vet 1 psyker, with 2 chorus. Drop chorus zeal for a solid ogryn if you want

golden toughness do be kinda crazy

hexed igloo
# neat grove good for you

Unironically though the shadps4 port is probably the closest we'll get.

It works pretty much flawlessly, I've already clocked it in 60fps with only very minor graphical glitches

copper hawk
#

2 chorus zeals w relic blades running piety means nonstop golden tness

#

Not really

lament blaze
#

1 zealot + 1 vet gives a lot of golden toughness to be fair

twilit otter
neat grove
#

i want to the use the damage boost chorus but golden toughness is just too good

copper hawk
#

My personal experience playing 40 and high havoc is that a bad psyker and a bad zeal, they have a massive disparitu

#

Disparity

runic grotto
#

Zealots are very likely to have flamer or bolter

copper hawk
#

At least golden tness they press f and it's for everyone

lament blaze
#

i use damage boost chorus.

if i wont be hitting things i may as well make my teammates even better at hitting things

copper hawk
#

If they're ass then at least they give us tness

neat grove
copper hawk
#

So tired of psykerz man,,

runic grotto
#

Well, obv I'd take a bad zealot over a bad psyker

twilit otter
runic grotto
#

But 2 inferno psykers allow you to cover hordes from every direction

neat grove
#

flamer is fun

hexed igloo
#

I'd take a half-okay smyker over a bad assail psyker

runic grotto
#

Zealot and vet just need to deal with some specials and crushers

#

i just wish there was a way to tell range

runic grotto
#

Everything else is dead

runic grotto
#

Well

#

Yes

visual stream
twilit otter
#

Vet pops specialists, psyker burns hordes, zealots cycle chorus and kill elites in melee

runic grotto
#

That's why they need to deal with them

#

And not inferno psyker

#

duh

lament blaze
#

Zealots: "bonk the maulers pls there they are! go get em! oh book now yes thanks"

Psykers: "win the game for us and dont even think about taking a single hit or you're donezo"

#

ive been saved by a psyker using sparkle fingers before

runic grotto
twilit otter
copper hawk
#

Only if the psyker uses it

visual stream
#

There's some primal part of me that wants to hit someone with a rock when I see them try to spam smite at two bruisers in melee range, which is clearly a world-ending threat to them

copper hawk
#

2 purg psykers and they mosty use melee PLEASE use bubble and use your staff

runic grotto
copper hawk
#

If u wanted 2 play melee swap 2 zeal or oggy

twilit otter
#

If I was 2 psykers I would run one with voidblast imo for infinite cc

copper hawk
#

Never*

neat grove
#

the mlgs is also kinda clutch in the hands of a good psyker

#

I think 2 inferno isnt necessary

#

2 infernos can solo a game

#

INSTANTLY

copper hawk
#

1 shriek and one bubble

runic grotto
#

That's what we've run

copper hawk
#

On brittleness burn and everything is dead

river jackal
#

Psyker generally is probably the most OP class

runic grotto
#

1 purgatus with shield

twilit otter
#

Plus voidblast can break up crusher packs forever

copper hawk
#

Purg is insanely broken

river jackal
#

It is magnified significantly when there are 2 of them

runic grotto
#

And one trauma brittlness shriek

copper hawk
#

2 other people can run chorus zeal

neat grove
#

once when i was ranking up my flamer i had two flame throwing psykers and a vet

copper hawk
#

Nothing is a threat

neat grove
#

we purged that day

river jackal
#

Purge being better than purgation flamer while having unlimited ammo

copper hawk
#

Lmfao yah

runic grotto
#

Purgatus staff is too strong for normal aurics

#

It's just boring

copper hawk
#

Shriek wiping a whole screen of enemies

river jackal
#

That's not even me saying purgation bad brw

runic grotto
#

But it's so fun when you have 20 mixed hordes every 5 minutes on h40

river jackal
#

Purge is just THAT good

copper hawk
#

Pushing bosses at full stacks of soulblaze beyond that w high peril shriek

neat grove
#

until the directer says "fuck you, you lose"

copper hawk
#

Bye bye healthbar

neat grove
#

the ai director sometimes gets angry

river jackal
#

You cannstack soulblaze and burn separately right?

twilit otter
#

Pyskers are glass cannons tho

river jackal
#

Does that not mean purgation flamer and purge staff would literally erase a horde in seconds?

#

And bosses

#

The dots would be nuts

river jackal
#

I think?

runic grotto
#

why not?

#

You can't?

twilit otter
#

Flamer alone can erase hordes in seconds. It hits harder than purg. Only issue is that it has to be used VERY sparingly.

river jackal
#

I'm asking if you can

twilit otter
#

Due to ammo

#

Yes you can

river jackal
#

Bruh

#

Horde uninstalled

twilit otter
#

Burn and soul blaze are completely different effects

river jackal
#

So yeah you could do

#

Trauma Bubble, Purge Shriek, Chorus Zealot w flamer, Chorus Zealot w Boltgun / Shout Vet w Plasma?

#

Would probably be very broken I think

twilit otter
#

5 man team?

river jackal
#

I put /

#

As in either or

pliant otter
#

Im tired of playing flamer and bolter, does the zealot have any otehr top tier weapon? besides the revolver and it poor ammo economy

twilit otter
#

The true meta is bubble psyker, chorus zealot, shout vet and a flex spot

neat grove
#

it would be funny if like in d2 that raiding bug happened in dt

#

team of 20 in a havoc 40

river jackal
pliant otter
#

Haha spy build

twilit otter
#

The thing with bolter and flamer is that they are very impactful when you do use them because you have so little ammo

twilit otter
#

Most of your ranged work is done with throwing knives

Nah noobs are in the regular queue damnation

I do love one thing about Havoc more than auric

#

If I get netted in havoc

I'll be up before I hit the floor

That's what I'm saying dude

Reginald did a 4 ogryn run with no ranged weapons

twilit otter
#

You can do technically anything

river jackal
#

I'm not a God dude

#

Need to use at least decent kit to get by

#

He also said it was a slog tbf

twilit otter
#

Ogryn stubber, kickback, rumbler are all usable in havoc

spare talon
twilit otter
#

All the melee weapons except the knives would work

river jackal
#

Paul is a sorry excuse for a melee weapon

#

Idk why Reginald says its good

#

Shield is just better in every way

twilit otter
#

It works because of its CC

#

Paul has more CC than shield

river jackal
#

I definetly do not agree with that

#

Shield H2 can hit like 24 enemies

#

Iirc

twilit otter
#

If you power up and light attack and do that over and over

#

You can stun lock a group of 10+ crusher

river jackal
twilit otter
#

You can't do that with shield

#

Shield can do a lot to a crusher pack don't get me wrong

river jackal
#

I can take maybe 6 crushers with shield and keep them from attacking

#

Especially mixing in no pushover

twilit otter
#

Yea but the powered up attack on the paul does more

#

It knocks crushers on the floor

river jackal
#

Well yeah there will be use cases that exist

#

But dude

#

Shield is miles and miles better

twilit otter
#

It's basically a trauma staff for ogryn

river jackal
#

Attention seeker alone makes shield like

twilit otter
river jackal
#

A weapon of the God Emperor

twilit otter
#

Shield is much more usable

#

I don't use the paul personally I am speaking from second hand knowledge

#

But anecdotely the best Ogryn I have seen, objectively, was using paul

spare talon
# river jackal Idk why Reginald says its good

He didn't say it was good, it still needs more love
But he said it worked better than he expected in havoc because stagger/cc becomes more valuable when the dangerous enemies are no longer instantly vaporized

tidal berry
#

sorry I'm interrupting your conversation

#

it will happen again

river jackal
lament blaze
#

thammer is lowkey good in havoc imo especially if youre running 2 zealots.

the boss killing potential feels good

river jackal
#

The best Ogryn I've personally seen was using Branx and Gorgonum

tidal berry
#

I don't remember kekinald ever saying paul is good either

lament blaze
#

(not on me i hate using it)

sterile basalt
#

so yes it has better CC

river jackal
twilit otter
#

It is stopped by carapace

hearty nebula
sterile basalt
#

reach?

river jackal
#

I get that, but not every horde contains carapace

sterile basalt
#

attack angle?

river jackal
#

Yeah reach

sterile basalt
#

not sure, too lazy to check code

river jackal
#

I'd think H2 shield covers a wider area when attacking

sterile basalt
#

but I'd assume power maul has technically more range there

twilit otter
#

The specific case we are talking about is crushers tho

river jackal
#

I mean I was speaking about cc generally

sterile basalt
#

since the explosion itself has a radius that's separate from the attack

sterile basalt
#

if u only care about CC, power maul does it better than shield

#

unfortunately power maul does like 1/3 the dmg

river jackal
#

Iirc shield damage numbers should stay as is

#

But stuff like Paul etc

#

Should have more damage than it

lament blaze
sterile basalt
twilit otter
#

Paul is definitely a wonky ass weapon

#

I don't touch it personally

river jackal
#

Cleavers are just dead and in the ground at this point

#

Bully clubs just need a lot more cleave and I think they'd be in a decent place

#

They're good on damage

tidal berry
twilit otter
#

Bully clubs got power crept out along side the shovels

spare talon
sterile basalt
#

more cleave won't do ANYTHING for bully club

twilit otter
#

Pickaxe just came in

spare talon
#

They deal dmg to 3 targets in a swing

#

Max

#

Everything else takes 0

river jackal
spare talon
hearty nebula
#

Not really

river jackal
#

In a world where other weapons can just infinite cleave

sterile basalt
#

they need to move the cleave dmg distribution cap from chainaxe / evicerator / bully club onto knife / duelling sword

tidal berry
#

how will it compete with pickaxe is a legit question for like %90 of ogryn melee options now

sterile basalt
#

still kills nothing

river jackal
#

Bruh

sterile basalt
#

cleave dmg distribution cap has gotta be changed

#

give it to knife / DS

#

remove it from chainaxe, evicerator and bully club

river jackal
#

Eviscerator would truly be quite some weapon if it didn't have that cap tbh

#

Relic Blade makes me feel bad for eviscerator

#

Like holy fuck dude RB is just so good

tidal berry
#

I'd rather they worked on the special action for evi and chain weapons

#

they feel wrong to me

river jackal
#

I think it'd be cool if activating chain weapons activated them for a period of time

tidal berry
#

evi has that brainrot easy mode energy going for it and it would be even more brainless without a cap

pliant otter
#

Hows the relic sword - bolt pistol combo?

river jackal
twilit otter
river jackal
#

Yeah RB is literally just

#

MK II

#

Use h1 h2

#

Or if big enemy

#

H3 h4

#

I've used it like that in 40 to great effect

sterile basalt
river jackal
#

Literally braindead weapon

twilit otter
#

Every goddammit zealot is using relic blade rn

river jackal
twilit otter
#

Every fucking midwit in aurics with a relic blade, fury of the faithful, just charging into poxwalkers spamming left click getting serious tunnel vision

#

It's a slow ass weapon and by the time you lift it to kill any elite, DS4 already killed it plus 2 more

hearty nebula
#

it's almost like people will use good weapons if they are given one

twilit otter
#

It's good+easy to use

#

The ultimate combo

river jackal
#

To be fair

#

DS4 is catastrophically braindead

twilit otter
#

At least it's better than back in the day when everyone was a knife zealot (a lot easier to fuck up)

lean lark
hearty nebula
#

lol

#

Very often, in fact

river jackal
#

I hate knife

twilit otter
#

I rarely see it anymore

river jackal
#

In a game like this why am I holding a piddly little knife

twilit otter
#

Too many FOTF relic blades

river jackal
#

Give me the big sword

sterile basalt

DS4 is easier to use than relic blade

Ds4 is not easier to use. Have you seen a bad player use one and miss every lunge, or just use it as a lmb spam weapon?

Thanks fellas

sterile basalt
#

there's a reason it was on psyker in the first place

river jackal
#

You only use wrath on relic blade if you smell

twilit otter
#

Ds4 is stupid OP but not easier to use than relic blade

sterile basalt
#

there's zero thinking in terms of what to use in what situation

#

there's zero risk in doing anything

Hard disagree

stone fern

relic is dummy hard to use

Relic blade overload is a pocket vet nade?

river jackal

how is ds4 hard to use

lean lark

its 40 dmg in a small radius

twilit otter
pliant otter

40 plus something else? or like literal 40?

sterile basalt

oh nooo

twilit otter

Its highly mobile but you have to harness that mobility

lean lark
#

on a good day

pliant otter
#

Lmao then... why even put something like this

lean lark
pliant otter
#

I think a knife punch does way more dmg with lacerate lmao

plucky gate
#

I'd say they're both a pretty different skillset

twilit otter
plucky gate
#

If someone has trouble with surviving, ds4 is going to be far easier

sterile basalt
lean lark
#

relic blade has an uppercut swing (mk2), pa poke (mk10), overheads

twilit otter
#

And just to be clear I'm talking about how relic blades are commonly employed, not overall skill ceiling

#

I would agree that relic blade has a higher skill ceiling

#

But generally common zealots do not use it to its full potential and just charge into hordes and monkey brain spam left click

pliant otter
#

Whos better bolter pistol or revolver

lean lark
#

if someone uses a high skill ceiling weapon like shit that doesnt mean the high skill ceiling weapon is easier to use

spare talon
#

Relic has a more complicated moveset than 1 attack for lights and 1 for heavy, has an additional mechanic to juggle, and a pretty bad mobility profile making it less forgiving on mistakes

river jackal

twilit otter
#

Easy to learn hard to master

#

It's a simple concept

river jackal

If you're shit with relic blade

You'll just die

twilit otter
plucky gate
#

I don't think the differences between the two are that comparable. Dueling sword is easier to survive with, but relic blade is easier to not have pathetic damage with.
I have friends that do piss damage with ds4 and do okay with relic.
I also have friends that instantly die if you put anything with lower mobi than a ds4 on them

How is ds4 easy to use?

stone fern
runic grotto
#

I've seen people running ds4 die to normal ass poxers because they can't kill them

twilit otter
plucky gate
#

I've seen people miss ds4 headshots and not have a sense of timing for the pokes, losing a bunch of dps from just max charging ds4 all the time and dying to horde enemies

sterile basalt
runic grotto
#

relic blade is easier than ds4 for sure

lean lark
#

ive had vets with plasma guns have half my damage using a meme loadout, doesnt mean plasma gun is hard to use

runic grotto
#

relic blade is you swing and everything dies pretty quickly

lean lark
#

just means i had a bad player

runic grotto
#

ds4 requires you to manage the horde at least a little bit and hit your headshots

misty wraith
#

what does powering relic blade do

pale spindle
#

Heresy players when they see one crusher:

runic grotto
#

And it becomes very powerful

plucky gate
#

They're so different that whichever one you find easier is just gonna depend on what you suck at more

runic grotto
#

Gets a shit ton of cleave and good damage profiles against armor

#

Without it the relic blade is worthless

plucky gate
#

I've met plenty that are just dead weight with ds4 that would play better if you slap on a relic blade and tell them to mash m1

runic grotto
plucky gate
#

i also know people who die if they have less mobility than ds4

runic grotto
#

Isn't ds4 even worse in that case

plucky gate
#

???

sterile basalt
plucky gate
#

ds4 has way better dodges than relic blade

neat grove
runic grotto
#

It takes some time getting used to

neat grove
runic grotto
#

When relic blade just released I really hated it

neat grove
#

most of the time the elites also die

sterile basalt
runic grotto
#

But it has grown on me over time

neat grove
#

i love cleaving off a mass of heads

runic grotto
#

Also I think there was a bug or something on release where you couldn't use running heavy attack and fotf

#

fotf would just cancel it

neat grove
#

also i didnt realize zealot had a block attack

plucky gate
#

ds4 is very easy to survive with against elites cause you get very good mobility and decent range

runic grotto
#

Well, in my eyes bad players suck at dodging

visual stream
runic grotto
#

So just giving them a cleave all button is better

neat grove
plucky gate
#

DS4 vs relic blade is just not the same skillset
It's like comparing weightlifting vs walking and hearing the guy with a missing leg tell you why one is way harder. You're gonna hear different opinions depending on the person

sterile basalt
#

ur mistaking "people who're bad because they didn't learn game mechanics" with "people that continue to be bad after learning game mechanics"

thats a lot of assumption im unwilling to make on people i dont know

I mean isn’t dueling sword literally just light spam pa for hordes heavy spam for single target and special to stagger anything that isn’t a crusher or boss

grizzled aspen
#

I am beginning to understand why Cole does this now.

sterile basalt
#

relic blade is "easier to do dmg with" for the first group

duelling sword is far easier to use for the 2nd group

vague depot
#

Don’t see how anything else could be easier

plucky gate
#

I've had to tell my friend to stop using ds4 cause he's crutching on the long dodges.
He's too much on the distance rather than the timing, so he can't actually dodge if he's running out of them or if he's using a shorter dodge weapon

#

dude can't survive without it

grizzled aspen
# runic grotto what reactions?

One (1) mauler is enough to make these people piss their pants and run because it doesnt just fall over if your breathe on it.

Is there a breakpoint while using a revolver with surgical? like waiting for it to get up to 10 is the most dmg sure but is it a guarateed kill in 6, 7 or something with certain enemies?

Point blank is better

grizzled aspen

Depending on your build you can just have an almost guaranteed chance to get a crit.

pliant otter
pliant otter

You can get through malice with no actual specific darktide knowledge or skills, just generic video game knowledge

sterile basalt
#

Point blank is straight up better in any context where a Crit would be needed for a breakpoint

grizzled aspen
#

How much crit is point blank again?

lament blaze
#

20%

sterile basalt
#

Because the only crit-only breakpoint you get for revolver is dreg rager 1 bodyshot now

#

Which you’re gonna melee anyway

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah you can easily just have 100% crit chance with point blank.

#

No aiming required.

grizzled aspen
#

5% base crit
15% or 25% from piety
30% from scourge
20% from pb
and then however much rev has base, iirc it's like 27%

If my math checks out.

sterile basalt

mk2 can, with buffs, one shot gunners, shotgunners, and 1-2 shot rangers unpowered
