i havent played in almost a year, but i used to use chainsaw blade thing
Its been THIRTY SECONDS STAN
There are like 6 different chain weapons
the chainsaw blade?
2 of them are axes
the sword
There are chain swords and eviscerators
i ran both
Chain swords always kinda sucked
i used it a lot to kill big enemies was fun
Mk13 chord is better than both evisc models and its not even close.
Maybe, I am just a big fan of the other evis
i did play over a year ago so
whatever the newer ones mark is
i think it was the 2 handed, recently switched to the force sword
@idle wagon What do you want? Do you want a build or something else?
Like, just tell us and in 5 seconds boom all your wishes come true
wdym you don't get good rolls
for blessings
Just change them
i got nothing to change them to?
Get the blessings to change them to
they changed it idk how anymore
the crafting system got updated
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
barely sentient
e transfer is trash get cranial grounding instead
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
if someone can help me change the stuff and give me a better tree then tell me, but i am able to do auric pretty easily
cause auric is easy
i said help me with the build not be a asshole
im not exactly focusing just on you
can take the point from blood redemption and put it on one of your blazing piety paths
u can uhh wait till i'm done with all my other stuff
get rid of blood redemption, and holy cause. grab rising fury and righteous warrior.
i got 2 builds
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
tbh i really wouldnt use beacon of purity outside of havoc
i am setting up for havok though
oh yeah carry on then
but still beacon of purity is jut for blight spreads
its not that useful outside of it
has kept me alive and this is a more defensive support build
i got other build tree as well
yeah regardless you want fury rising, helps your up time for BP
i cant remember which is blood redemption
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
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
no
take it from blood redemption
second wind is great
Getting better at dodges makes you kill better
blood redemption gives you like 4 toughness per kill
if you feel you aren't using it enough, you need to learn to dodge better
its not that good
3.5 iirc
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 
i also got this
if you guys wanna send me better trees do so, but atm this is what i got to work with
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
backstab cdr>>> swift certainty
eh theyre both mid
wrath is for gas/21st modifiers, otherwise use cranial grounding or energy leakage
backstab cdr is workable, any staggered/stunned enemy is free eats
idk i felt it was too clunky from when i did its penance
Backstabs just aren’t always achievable so sometimes it’s a dead node, not bad just situational.
they are
majority of weapons have a backstab farming combo
my brain now hurts
i hate this
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
if you have someone running beacon already, taking benediction is just so good
saves you 2 points
not having purge the unclean sucks
box that makes you float
Oh shit he floatin
ill just figure it out myself by looking at youtube
deserved for playing in third person
I guess maybe the tox flamer jostled me up into the air and broke my guard?
I'm genuinely baffled
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
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
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
Isn't cranial just better
I remember someone posted some math here
Wait which one is leakage
cranial is good but i found myself liking the extra strength for edging around 50-90% better
leakage is strength based on current charge
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
It's made even worse by the fact that golden toughness is probably the most overpowered defense in the game
The damage upgrade is debatably not worth the point either but if you have the spare point and really want it, sure
yeah theyre pretty useless i never got to 5 pulses outside of havoc
4 people getting 20% dmg boost against a boss feels pretty nice
everyone
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
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
In a very point-taxed tree like zealot's, I would say neither are worth but the TDR is miles further behind
20% is a lot
you could theoritcally pop relic before entering a new area and then shoot everything in sight with the buff
Pop relic after entering a new area instead?
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
Why use relic before you meet your enemies? You are actively making your ability worse by using it wrong just to justify the 30% tdr buff
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
that would just be a waste
I already said the dmg reduction is dogshit
I meant the dmg buff
tbh if you think of it that way having an ogryn around with the heavy attack aura is better
I can't think of any reasons that make 30% tdr better than 20% damage
I'm pretty sure we all agree on that here
Morning, this good for zealot or should I swap the 5% crit thing? for.. idk unyielding?
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
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
I just put +25% bonus for Infested and Unyielding enemies on every weapon, smite thy heretics
Why infested ooc?
It only covers poxwalkers and dogs, both of which are already very squishy without it
to stack with purge the unclean
nothing else
I know its unoptimal
I would recommend almost anything else as a damage perk other than groaners 
You only run infested on some ogryn weapons.
Infested has a use at all? That's interesting
What?
The bots are evolving to find new ways to disappoint
What kind of perks n blessings do you find feels nice on relic blade
perks i use unyielding flak blessings cranial and rampage
:3c good meowning noobz...
good evenining
stop being bumpy weird hatchitt
30% more tdr team-wide for 10s is good
i only take that on hav40
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
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
Zealot without book at havoc is nono?
you can
Doable but book kinda makes u a sitting duck on h 40 
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
like pox burster?
cause thats not how they do
Only swap to zealot when nobody wants to swap for a cleanse aura
either i tanked it or i instantly got back some toughness after getting burstered
prob the latter
Imo life is easier running it down as psyker on h 40
Tho I'd prob run shroudfield knife and play like a rat
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
Okay will stick to psiker then, not worrying abt ammo is nice anyway
Just feel like the ammo scarcity on h40 just makes it that much worse going against ranged enemies that can easily shred u apart
Indeed
book with backstab cdr, flamer and any high horde clear weapon of your choosing
Chorus piety book with flamer and relic blade or dueling sword 4
Long caterpillar
ah, global chat
what else should one do in this scenario
Real
Noob down..
Skill issue
Wut
I don't get it
R these goobers
WHAT THE FUCK ??
WHY DOEZ HE SHAKE
Josho playz like that 2 ..
Fweakz..
bro likes phreeky boyz
Oh man martyrdom tac axe zealot is hilarious
Yurt ferret
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
I want a freaking 2h battle axe that is the strongest most broke melee, not a finesse stabby stab sword lol
Or, like in bandit's case, a 2h chain-axe instead
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
There is no joke. Get in the scary black ship.
My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DogehammerFortykay
Don't mind me, I"m just bitching about wanting another cool 2h weapon on zeaot. :3
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
There's a lore reason why we don't take traitor weaponry.
Boom hammer
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.
Fuck the thammer I want true explosives
in rogue trader the cultist garb starting to grab onto your skin as you put it on
even seeing a symbol of a chaos god is enough to invite corruption
100% true. But if we can’t get two hand chain axe by legit means, I’ll dream lol
after messing with the thunder hammer i have come to the conclusion it is silly but awesome
Bloodborne gaming
rip bloodborne
one day we'll defeat the dark lord sony and get bloodborne on pc
one day
God that would be great
Can you imagine modded bloodborne like how ds3 is modded?
Speaking of ds3, haven't heard anything on the archthrones overhaul mod lately.
i can see it now
probably irl has gotten in the way
like from everything ive seen theyve certainly done a lot
imagine it lady maria, malenia, and orphan of kos 4 way boss fight
When taking boltgun in high level havoc primarily for bossing, is pinning fire still what you want?
No.
i think brittleness and bleed are the way to go
I'd assume going puncture cavalcade
Boltgun wants shattering puncture for carapace and boss deletion, otherwise cavalcade puncture.
ohhh shattering huh
gunning down a group of crushers do be kinda nice
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.
give them lorge bois some soda
i rarely pull out boltgun for crushers i usually try to stagger with ds or just kill them quick
Though you won't be cleaving in havoc, so you have to make sure you hit your headshots.
boltgun kills them quick tho
well spearhead does
yeah not bistol
You don't have the ammo economy to do that for every crusher.
If it's like one crusher by himself, just kill him in melee.
Yea boltgun is not for crushers
no i do have the ammo to do it to every group of 3 or more crushers
Depends on the team comp and game type
cool i still use it that way
Ammo tins give you one singular bullet.
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
a groupd of 6 crushers and 6 bulwark is an emergency
Zealots in havoc 40 are melee 99% of thr time
no shit
Valid
havoc 0 is 100% range
thats such an emergency i'd rather book than bolter
fuck running away
i dont think a bolter mag dump is going to take care of that
either i die killing them or they die
the golden throne requires skulls and i shall deliver them
no i mean chorus lmao
chorus is lovely
You will be gated by emperor's fading light I.
just a little 8s "okay everyone chill tf out"
right cause stunlocking everything around the team and giving them golden toughness means nothing
will do all of the killing*
HIGHLY suspect
or an ogryn will just throw a box of grenades and clear the next 12 rooms
the god emperor bless the ogryn kindred
ive yet to have an ogryn whip ass in havoc but ive also only played havoc with 2 ogryns.
low sample size
My havoc 40 clear was an ogryn with power maul
2 shields and one with a club and some big gun
my 40 was the classic
2 psyker 1 zealot 1 vet
How is 2 psyker classic?
double bubble
Thought it was 2 x
Zealot
classic destiny
no it wasnt 2 bubble
oh is that uncommon?
i thought 2 psyker for better ammo economy was peak
A single pysker can keep bubble up 24/7
2nd psyker had vent
Most of my 30-39 was double zealot
My h40 was 3 psykers
Cycling chorus
Peakborne
Psyker can die a lot easier than zealot if you account until death and holy revenebt
The scoreboard was stupid
we had a bubble psyker running smite that did like 0 damage but smite was lowkey really nice
Two of which were running purg staves
And toughness
And health

Yea
I've been playing it on pc homie
They shouldn't of been out damaged by a magnitude of 3 by a fucking ogryn
Astaghfirullah
Get with the times old man
good for you
psyker has that node that lets them ignore gunners though which is prime
if they're critting with inferno staff
Imo ideal is 2 zealot 1 vet 1 psyker, with 2 chorus. Drop chorus zeal for a solid ogryn if you want
how's the ammo economy with that? i think ive played with that setup a few times but i dont fully recollect how our ammo was in those games
I would take 2 psykers over 2 zealots
Id take 2 zealots over 2 psykers
Vet covers your ammo needs
Golden toughness is nuts
So are staves and shields
golden toughness do be kinda crazy
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
1 zealot + 1 vet gives a lot of golden toughness to be fair
Vet picks up 90% of ammo, zealots only use range in emergency and fueled from vet aura
i want to the use the damage boost chorus but golden toughness is just too good
My personal experience playing 40 and high havoc is that a bad psyker and a bad zeal, they have a massive disparitu
Disparity
Zealots are very likely to have flamer or bolter
At least golden tness they press f and it's for everyone
i use damage boost chorus.
if i wont be hitting things i may as well make my teammates even better at hitting things
If they're ass then at least they give us tness
db works very well
So tired of psykerz man,,
Well, obv I'd take a bad zealot over a bad psyker
With 2 chorus I try to coordinate one with damage one with tdr
But 2 inferno psykers allow you to cover hordes from every direction
flamer is fun
I'd take a half-okay smyker over a bad assail psyker
Zealot and vet just need to deal with some specials and crushers
i just wish there was a way to tell range
Everything else is dead
spearhead boltgun
throwing knives
handled
They may be pathetic to witness, and they may have 0% chance of clutching, but I have to agree I suppose
Vet pops specialists, psyker burns hordes, zealots cycle chorus and kill elites in melee
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"
They sometimes tase the horde I'm holding at a door so they're good in my books
ive been saved by a psyker using sparkle fingers before
Also if you don't place shield every 10 seconds, just consider refunding the game
Psyker is so hard to keep alive compared to zealots at havoc 40. Much respect to 40 psykers who can pull it off.
Yah inferno is broken
Only if the psyker uses it
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
2 purg psykers and they mosty use melee PLEASE use bubble and use your staff
It's not like inferno is broken if veteran uses it
If u wanted 2 play melee swap 2 zeal or oggy
If I was 2 psykers I would run one with voidblast imo for infinite cc
No as in they mever switch to it
Never*
the mlgs is also kinda clutch in the hands of a good psyker
It's my favorite thing when I'm preparing to die to the 15 ragers so my team can get out, and then suddenly the power of Thor swings out from behind me and stuns them all
I think 2 inferno isnt necessary
Brittleness trauma and inferno psyker allow you to completely kill ANY HORDE
2 infernos can solo a game
INSTANTLY
1 shriek and one bubble
That's what we've run
On brittleness burn and everything is dead
Psyker generally is probably the most OP class
1 purgatus with shield
Plus voidblast can break up crusher packs forever
Purg is insanely broken
It is magnified significantly when there are 2 of them
And one trauma brittlness shriek
2 other people can run chorus zeal
once when i was ranking up my flamer i had two flame throwing psykers and a vet
Nothing is a threat
we purged that day
Lmfao yah
Shriek wiping a whole screen of enemies
That's not even me saying purgation bad brw
But it's so fun when you have 20 mixed hordes every 5 minutes on h40
Purge is just THAT good
Pushing bosses at full stacks of soulblaze beyond that w high peril shriek
until the directer says "fuck you, you lose"
Bye bye healthbar
the ai director sometimes gets angry
You cannstack soulblaze and burn separately right?
Pyskers are glass cannons tho
Does that not mean purgation flamer and purge staff would literally erase a horde in seconds?
And bosses
The dots would be nuts
wdym
Like you can stack both dot on same target individually?
I think?
Flamer alone can erase hordes in seconds. It hits harder than purg. Only issue is that it has to be used VERY sparingly.
I'm asking if you can
Burn and soul blaze are completely different effects
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
5 man team?
Im tired of playing flamer and bolter, does the zealot have any otehr top tier weapon? besides the revolver and it poor ammo economy
The true meta is bubble psyker, chorus zealot, shout vet and a flex spot
Not in havoc
it would be funny if like in d2 that raiding bug happened in dt
team of 20 in a havoc 40
I usually see flex as just dupe zealot or psy
Haha spy build
The thing with bolter and flamer is that they are very impactful when you do use them because you have so little ammo
double barrel
Most of your ranged work is done with throwing knives
double barrel shotgun
I rather go back to bolter
Bolt Pistol?
show the heretics the boom stick
Kinda same thing tho
It bolter or flamer
Sorrgy
I see, its there any hope for future exclusive zealot weapon ?
Nothing stopping you
No probably not
Stop calling out how I play havoc 40
2h chaxe IS in the files
Just know the higher you go in havoc the less you actually get to shoot
But i doubt we'll ever see it
Oh no, another weapon that stops the user in the spot
you know the double barrel can get extra stagger and is better for ammo economy than most any other gun
1 survivalist vet can completely sustain your flamer ammo economy in high havoc
You do get a more consistent experience the higher you go though as far as teammates
People actually save you and shit
Auric pubs it's like whoops I got netted ill guess I'll watch for 15 minutes
Even though we went straight to them
Auric pubs have been bad lately
i love how the nets go through the heretics but my bullets dont
Nah noobs are in the regular queue damnation
Aurics full of midwits
People with some skill who think they are way better than they actually are
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
In auric
That's what I'm saying dude
Net = ded
Yesterday in normal histg damn I had a 6 minute long clutch with a recon vet build I made an hour prior lmao
If you enjoy teamwork you will enjoy havoc more
30+ that is because 20-29 is full of midwits
Nah the thing i don't like about havoc is i can't really vary my builds a bunch
Some weapons are simply not Havoc viable
Full stop
how it felt pushing a dog, dodging a trapper net, avoiding a pool of fire, and knifing a sniper all in less than a second
Reginald did a 4 ogryn run with no ranged weapons
You can do technically anything
I'm not a God dude
Need to use at least decent kit to get by
He also said it was a slog tbf
Ogryn stubber, kickback, rumbler are all usable in havoc
Reginald also did a trash build havoc 40
That was also the run I got him killed with a trapper net meant for me lmao
All the melee weapons except the knives would work
Paul is a sorry excuse for a melee weapon
Idk why Reginald says its good
Shield is just better in every way
If you power up and light attack and do that over and over
You can stun lock a group of 10+ crusher
Shield H1 loop 2.0 
You can't do that with shield
Shield can do a lot to a crusher pack don't get me wrong
I can take maybe 6 crushers with shield and keep them from attacking
Especially mixing in no pushover
Yea but the powered up attack on the paul does more
It knocks crushers on the floor
Well yeah there will be use cases that exist
But dude
Shield is miles and miles better
It's basically a trauma staff for ogryn
Attention seeker alone makes shield like
For 99% of ogryns I agree
A weapon of the God Emperor
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
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
I mean you'd have to see them using the other weapons to come to a conclusive judgement
thammer is lowkey good in havoc imo especially if youre running 2 zealots.
the boss killing potential feels good
The best Ogryn I've personally seen was using Branx and Gorgonum
I don't remember kekinald ever saying paul is good either
(not on me i hate using it)
shield H2 has infinite cleave (blocked by carapace)
power maul empowered attacks have infinite cleave (bypass carapace's cleave block)
so yes it has better CC
Does H2 shield not have a larger range?
It is stopped by carapace
I get that, but not every horde contains carapace
attack angle?
Yeah reach
not sure, too lazy to check code
I'd think H2 shield covers a wider area when attacking
but I'd assume power maul has technically more range there
The specific case we are talking about is crushers tho
I mean I was speaking about cc generally
since the explosion itself has a radius that's separate from the attack
Was gonna say this
if u only care about CC, power maul does it better than shield
unfortunately power maul does like 1/3 the dmg
Iirc shield damage numbers should stay as is
But stuff like Paul etc
Should have more damage than it
that's so wrong
not incorrect. it's wrong
ik 
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
understood, buffing plasma gun
nah
Bully clubs got power crept out along side the shovels
They need to not be cleave damage capped
more cleave won't do ANYTHING for bully club
Pickaxe just came in
It'd make it more competitive at least
Cleave damage cap
Not really
In a world where other weapons can just infinite cleave
they need to move the cleave dmg distribution cap from chainaxe / evicerator / bully club onto knife / duelling sword
how will it compete with pickaxe is a legit question for like %90 of ogryn melee options now
no, u just 0 dmg more enemies
still kills nothing
Bruh
cleave dmg distribution cap has gotta be changed
give it to knife / DS
remove it from chainaxe, evicerator and bully club
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
I'd rather they worked on the special action for evi and chain weapons
they feel wrong to me
I think it'd be cool if activating chain weapons activated them for a period of time
evi has that brainrot easy mode energy going for it and it would be even more brainless without a cap
Hows the relic sword - bolt pistol combo?
Pack of ragers makes Evi need at least some knowledge pretty fast
Relic blade is the brainrot weapon
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
not bad for base game
Literally braindead weapon
Every goddammit zealot is using relic blade rn
To be fair some of this is new shiny toy syndrome
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
At least it's better than back in the day when everyone was a knife zealot (a lot easier to fuck up)
me when i compare any weapon to the overpowered one and, surprisingly, find out its not as effective????
People still fuck up knife zealot to this day
lol
Very often, in fact
I hate knife
I rarely see it anymore
In a game like this why am I holding a piddly little knife
Too many FOTF relic blades
Give me the big sword
DS4 is easier to use than relic blade
Hi im the knife zealot
more like
Is relic blade taht good?
noob zealot...
Literally
DS4 is even easier to use than combat axe
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?
Banned
Cranial and Rampage
Relic blade you can literally give to a impaired person and they will do well mulching hordes with lmb
nah, it's far simpler than basically every melee weapon
Thanks fellas
there's a reason it was on psyker in the first place
You only use wrath on relic blade if you smell
Ds4 is stupid OP but not easier to use than relic blade
there's zero thinking in terms of what to use in what situation
there's zero risk in doing anything
relic is dummy hard to use
How so
Relic blade overload is a pocket vet nade?
Its only hard to use for dummys
how is ds4 hard to use
relic blade overload is dogshit
its 40 dmg in a small radius
It's heavy is a lunging thrust that you have to aim, ideally in the head
40 plus something else? or like literal 40?
no, but it can be funny
the overload explosion deals enough stagger to interrupt rager combo & mauler overhead
oh nooo
more like 38
This is
This is not difficult
Its highly mobile but you have to harness that mobility
on a good day
Lmao then... why even put something like this
relic blade has a lunging thrust
I think a knife punch does way more dmg with lacerate lmao
I'd say they're both a pretty different skillset
It's quite literally more complicating than pressing lmb over and over into a horde with relic blade
If someone has trouble with surviving, ds4 is going to be far easier
lol that is not hard what
relic blade has an uppercut swing (mk2), pa poke (mk10), overheads
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
Whos better bolter pistol or revolver
if someone uses a high skill ceiling weapon like shit that doesnt mean the high skill ceiling weapon is easier to use
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
^
If you're shit with relic blade
You'll just die
And duelling sword is piss easy to learn and piss easy to master
Come to the light side friend

Isn't it also just like brettonian longsword just split into two marks
Click in the general direction of the enemy
They die
bro,,,,,,
You haven't seen a bad player use a dueling sword
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
I have
And they would be doing way worse without a weapon that has high mobility and an elite one shot button
How is ds4 easy to use?
its like you dont enjoy disassociating mid game
I've seen people running ds4 die to normal ass poxers because they can't kill them
A bad player who can't aim the DS can easily mulch hordes with the relic blade
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
bad players will continue to be bad players
relic blade is easier than ds4 for sure
ive had vets with plasma guns have half my damage using a meme loadout, doesnt mean plasma gun is hard to use
relic blade is you swing and everything dies pretty quickly
just means i had a bad player
ds4 requires you to manage the horde at least a little bit and hit your headshots
what does powering relic blade do
Heresy players when they see one crusher:
It powers it up
And it becomes very powerful
They're so different that whichever one you find easier is just gonna depend on what you suck at more
Gets a shit ton of cleave and good damage profiles against armor
Without it the relic blade is worthless
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
what do you need to suck at to be bad with relic blade?
survival
i also know people who die if they have less mobility than ds4
Isn't ds4 even worse in that case
???
those people don't have a sense of target priority and spend time mashing m1 vs horde when they should be targeting elites
ds4 has way better dodges than relic blade
yes
yes
It takes some time getting used to
sometimes i cant see the elites until the horde is cleared
When relic blade just released I really hated it
most of the time the elites also die
duelling sword (in general) is the 2nd highest survivaility weapon, right behind knife
But it has grown on me over time
i love cleaving off a mass of heads
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
also i didnt realize zealot had a block attack
ds4 is very easy to survive with against elites cause you get very good mobility and decent range
Well, in my eyes bad players suck at dodging
90% of pubbers could've fooled me
So just giving them a cleave all button is better
no shit because they still need to learn it
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
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'm doing the 15 matches with no downs by picking out missions on normal board and I gotta say the reactions I'm getting from these creatures is peak.
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
I am beginning to understand why Cole does this now.
relic blade is "easier to do dmg with" for the first group
duelling sword is far easier to use for the 2nd group
Don’t see how anything else could be easier
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
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.
Watching a pubber spam light attacks into a crusher on thammer brings me unimaginable pain
You have the answer in your hands man
the best dodge trainer was thammer pre-talent trees
Are you playing malice or something?
USE IT HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
Yes, normal board malice for the 15 with no downs penance.
Havent bothered getting it until now because normal board is so fucking boring.
I haven't touched maliced in years
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?
To tell you I am legitimately bot walking through these maps is an understatement.
If you trully don't care, twins are much faster
malice is a fun experience. i recently played some to level
I'm playing exe stance agri vigilant vet.
its an experience
That's how I got this penance
So long as there are heads to click I physically cannot die.
2 hours of karnak twins farming and I'm done
8 stacks is 100% guaranteed crit for revolver
But better yet, don’t use surgical on revolver lol
Point blank is better
Depending on your build you can just have an almost guaranteed chance to get a crit.
I have to agree that taht little wait between shoot is a bit annoying
Aig let me check
You can get through malice with no actual specific darktide knowledge or skills, just generic video game knowledge
Point blank is straight up better in any context where a Crit would be needed for a breakpoint
How much crit is point blank again?
20%
Because the only crit-only breakpoint you get for revolver is dreg rager 1 bodyshot now
Which you’re gonna melee anyway
Yeah you can easily just have 100% crit chance with point blank.
No aiming required.
Point blank just allows u to do this
Do you have a reshade on?
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.
Revolver is +21%
aye i just got done with this map
door closing bosses is so fun i adore this map
Being able to passively reload your gun is the main reason why I’m about to make a vet
No, I think this was when I had lighting quality set to low
Shit looks fun as hell
the fact it rounds up for just 1 stack of weapons specialist is insane
kill one poxwalker that's a bullet in the chamber
hey i wanted to ask, im kinda forced to use old iphone headphones but i get no sound in the game
Ok so your crit chance with pb is going to be something like 91% if you take stalwart piety.
anyone know how to fix that?
do you get sound elsewhere
wrong
Which is still insane and always up in any context zealot needs to use a revolver for
on youtube and other sites yes
relic blade unpowered is still pretty decent
check audio settings
It can't kill anything more than a single elite or some chaff
youre using it wrong
This is just plain wrong.
I can oneshot headshot gunners and shotgunners with my h3/h4.
Without activation.
Didn't I say single elite?
the raw aura of cleaving through the foul heretics to deliver the God Emperors will
unpowered relic blade?
lmfao
wrong
The only thing you really need the activation for is crushers and bosses.
Unpowered, you can kill a bulwark in one stagger with mk2.
Rager, carapace, boss, that’s about it
mk2 can, with buffs, one shot gunners, shotgunners, and 1-2 shot rangers unpowered
Not even ragers, I can just chastise stun them and instakill them lmao.
empowered is to speed up horde clear, elite packs, ragers, and bosses
MK2 relic blade is truly quite something
Did you just edit this like four times in the span of a second?
its peak
Fast ahh fingers.
Activated I can cleave through a darktillion elites. Unactivated it has no cleave against anything bigger than a basic enemy
uppercut is such stupid damage
It’s very high value for rager blobs in havoc because energized heavy staggers every rager it hits (up to 11 of them, depending on wrath stacks)
You're peak
Stop, youre gonna give her an ego and shes gonna take mk3 evisc into havocs and weep.
They just keep saying things I agree with
i will do it eventually
when i like
Fact spitter 5000
She already has massive ego
wanna play havoc
That's what I said, it kills single elites and basic enemies
Trust me ik, my last 20 or so levels (tracking with true level) have been with rb.
says "because she's wrong all the time"
Now they just need to say Ogryn is the best class in the game
And I will be satisfied
That they are always correct
After 31 attempts u got smth half right
Go ahead and post your relic blade. :)
And the talents you use with them.
We will determine whether or not its an operator error after.
still cant cope with the fact i was right, so you have to say half right
lmfao
mk X. rampage/cranial and flak/elite damage
When’re u getting grievous wounds’ stagger breakpoints
I am running the most default crit build with twbs
That would be why it doesnt fucking work lmao.
is that meant to be some kind of gotchya
Yea I was right with the stagger-related cleave latch
You’re right with the cleave-related cleave latch
So half half
the lord speak to and have uttered
Try mk2 cranial + wrath, flak + elites/cara.
No I genuinely want them
Everyone in Zealot chat really does make this place into a schoolyard huh?
about it having some kind of increased cleave against staggered enemies? that was already a property i was aware of, just never really bothered testing it
also, thats unrelated to what we were talking about
'' U NEED TO TAKE A SHOWER YOU STINK BAD''
i am too lazy to test them
then i knew he was the but a devil
That's my aura bro.
yeah
basically
stinkers...
Havoc week ends tomorrow right
Just do evicerator stagger breakpoints vs 5 enemies maybe, at least that’s smth u use
Or tomorrow tomorrow
god i miss me dog
is this for h40 or simple aurics? Or both?
I'm not bothering to post it but know I am thinking of the quote.
yeah
theres no adults here
staggers everything but ragers consistently, mk15 needs GW to stagger crushers on revved heavy
Also what's the point of carapace damage, don't I already have a crusher 1 hit breakpoint with elites?
thats it really
Works for both. Lumii swears by mk10, only mentioning that because he will skin me otherwise.
I think I was the one that told u about the stagger-related cleave latch in the first place
If you're running piety, no, you dont.
A chastise sprint heavy headshot will not 1tap a crusher in damn aurics.
Can u light atk interrupt mauler overhead
Go test it then 
what are you babb;ing about? we have adult.
You don't have friends, dont lie.
whom else will bullly the kids
actually we're seeing gladiator 2 later
so
yes i do
and
he is
pawesome..
MEOW POST THAT PAWSOME BADGE
well someone has hit the griddy
he and i are not going to date
he already has a partner
also
he and i just
wouldnt work out
probably
i wish i had friend
Ah well I didn't mean to poke something sore, sorry.
