#

So those 3 dodges hammer has that don't move very far become inconsequential.

#

With IJ, you can easily handle a pack of maulers or crushers.

#

Otherwise you can handle maulers with plenty of ranged options.

#

I like using laspistol with hammer, and I can drop a mauler with mk2 in like 8 or so shots.

#

For reference, my laspistol uses flak + maniac, dumdum + ghost.

#

Laspistol also just gives you massive reposition potential because you move like greased lightning with it out.

#

Clutching actually becomes possible with it lol.

elfin thorn
#

haven't touched a laspistol before. i tried a rifle a few times but they felt off. think it's just las guns in gen, or maybe they weren't fleshed out 🤔

grizzled aspen
#

Laspistol has some stupid finesse modifiers.

elfin thorn
#

i guess helbore counts, though i feel that's it's own hole

grizzled aspen
#

And its base damage is nothing to sneeze at either.

elfin thorn
#

oh sweet

regal coyote
#

this worth buying or nah?

grizzled aspen
elfin thorn
#

i usually use zarona revolver with thammer
mostly cuz i love its good special sniping and alright dodges

regal coyote
#

thank you

grizzled aspen
#

The rating on them doesn't matter, just buy wound curios from Brunt.

grizzled aspen
#

The access to ghost is also huge.

elfin thorn
#

maybe i'll give laspistol a shot when i get more currency to spend. hope it feels nimble and cool, though i never thought to try to use my ranged weapon to fight a pack of elites
i suppose that could kinda help

grizzled aspen
#

You can stare a reaper down as he's trying to blast you and just go "hurr durr ghost value go brrr" and not take damage.

grizzled aspen
elfin thorn
#

haven't seen ghost before, but based off ur description it sounds like anti ranged fire

#

sounds pretty strong

grizzled aspen
#

Headshots make you count as dodging against ranged attacks for 1s.

elfin thorn
#

lol

grizzled aspen
#

So you can just sorta... point blank a reaper to death...

#

It's really stupid.

#

(psyker has this as a talent for crits btw)

#

(empathetic evasion)

elfin thorn
#

me charging into the reaper but i'm marked with a humble dodge status

#

now ogryn gets to join in on the reaper dunking

grizzled aspen
#

Ghost literally lets you bot walk into shooters.

#

So long as you keep rolling headshots you can't take damage.

elfin thorn
grizzled aspen
#

You are counted as dodging from

gunners
reapers
shotgunners
snipers
chaff shooters

elfin thorn
#

pov: dodge build payday 2

grizzled aspen
#

Anything not on that list will still hurt you.

elfin thorn
#

ghost is wicked you have that much power so long as you're consistent

#

i'll keep that in mind for when i try tougher content with zealot

grizzled aspen
#

Mhmm, now make your gun 2shot all shooters except reapers.

regal coyote
#

what’s the rewards for clearing trials?

#

just lots of currency?

plush estuary
#

some

#

idk how much

#

worth if you are bored of normal board

opaque island

if i empathize with ena does that mean im neurodivergent?

plush estuary

trails isnt difficult

regal coyote

i enjoy working and having a job/structure but i also hate the idea of a job and having to work for a living

regal coyote
#

ive just been spamming qp

#

heresy cant be that bad....right

red mesa
#

would you ever want shock and awe on Thammer for high havoc? i know lots of weapons go a cleave blessing, but im not sure how hitmass vs cleave works

#

or just thrust + slaught/headtaker standard still on high havoc?

hearty nebula
#

where are...

#

teh channel artists..

visual stream
#

Not getting any of the choices for indulgences

#

This mode has made me want to kill myself in all 3 times I've played it

hearty nebula
#

skull issue

visual stream
#

I should have recoded the game for them

#

Still clutched the last standing vs. the daemonhost doe

azure cipher
#

Ya relic blade and bolt pistol a good combo?

ornate bone
haughty mirage
#

Did a quick auric maelstrom and yeah this build feels 2x better than the momentum one for tac axe

wary finch
#

So are any of the brautos actually good or are they all.just useless fuckin pea shooters?

haughty mirage
#

Braced auto??

#

I’m the #1 braced auto fan

#

They’re so fun

#

I specifically like the uhh

#

One sec

#

Graia MK IV

tranquil owl
#

Seen some really crazy braced auto runs

obsidian prairie
#

Can be used more frequently at the price of being worse into mixed horde and against armor

#

96 pox per mag with the Agri though

haughty mirage
obsidian prairie
#

It’s best to not brace it in general

#

Unless you have the Graia

#

It gets an rpm boost braced

elfin thorn
haughty mirage
#

Graia brace my beloved

obsidian prairie
#

I take Agri because space kalashnikov and it cleaves best

muted pike
#

Relic Blade is good

#

But Crusher is great

light badge
#

fireball time

wary finch
#

Noted
I'll try the graia later

obsidian prairie
misty nova
#

Bro's on that Strike diet

obsidian prairie
wary finch
#

Alr

light badge
obsidian prairie
#

It won’t apply soulblaze very well

light badge
#

the idea is tossing it into super dense hordes where it can make specials and such explode with PC

#

related, does it benefit from Warp Splitting?

azure cipher
obsidian prairie
#

Then Pc is doing the work, not blazing

obsidian prairie
light badge
#

oh fuck, then nvm

#

back on Surge goes

obsidian prairie
#

I just run it with surge

elfin thorn
obsidian prairie
#

Gambling staff

#

Ball or die

#

I would also recommend running it full right side

#

(If you aren’t already)

azure cipher
#

(That's trials)

muted pike
#

The most tilting enemy in the game for me is the poxburster

azure cipher
#

Got to chime that bell

obsidian prairie
#

Bursters aren’t really an issue unless you’re already getting fucked up

#

Or have dumbass teammates

muted pike
#

Absolutely hate it when you push them and they still explode in your face.

And hate them even more when teammates decide to blow them up when you're pushing them

haughty mirage
elfin thorn
#

eat them for breakfast

haughty mirage
#

Teammates tho yeah I got blown up 4 times on a run last match because bad teammates

#

It hurt a little

muted pike
#

Yeah, I hate poxbursters because they are the only enemy that perfect play doesnt mean shit if you have 1 dumbass on your team

haughty mirage
#

Yeah

#

Unfortunately can’t do anything about teammates

obsidian prairie
#

Yes you can

muted pike
#

Its extremelt tilting

obsidian prairie
#

Barrel them

haughty mirage
#

Even if i see a teammate going to push a Burster I still move away

#

Just in case

muted pike
#

Even then

#

Poxbursters exploding in your face even when you push is tilting

haughty mirage
#

Always backslide while pushing

#

Even a small bit of extra distance can stop it from hitting you

muted pike
#

Right

#

Back to MH wilds

plush estuary
#

I still have people join Strike Party vc and tell me taxe cant deal with armor

haughty mirage
#

Just used their tacaxe build and it very much can

hearty nebula
hearty nebula
#

i just call tem noobz.

obsidian prairie
#

Doesn’t matter when you’ve got good mobility though

plush estuary
#

I was doing taxe psyker in a civi

#

when they said that

#

out damaged 3 ogryns without soulblaze

wary finch
#

Do yall run Deadly acc and surgical with your bistols?

#

Or is puncture "viable"?

plush estuary
#

point blank surgical

#

wait

#

thats my cowbow gun

plush estuary
#

either I mistimed my push by less than a second or me pushing burster counted as the dog push so he didnt care

twin wagon
#

Shouties

#

steam users already complaining havoc hard

placid dust
#

If the build im runing has 240k overkill dmg after game is that bad?

#

Is that mean build is unoptimized?

More on the havoc is kinda supposed to be hard

ornate bone
#

Not a lot of people on rn

twin wagon
#

It's saturday 9am

#

ornate bone
#

4AM

#

You people in your made up countries

granite edge
#

staregryn decent numbers for a dead game

#

it should be around 13k since we have alot platform KEKW_ogryn

ornate bone
#

dead game?

#

Not popular for sure but

dull finch
#

Havoc 40

#

Wow

ornate bone
#

Dunno about dead

dull finch
#

Its not dead

#

Partyfinder is tho

twin wagon
ornate bone
dull finch
ornate bone
#

Need teammates that have played havoc before

#

Not many of those on rn

dull finch
#

Whats the highest uve done

ornate bone
#

40

dull finch
#

After the update

ornate bone
#

36

dull finch
#

Ah

granite edge
dull finch
#

Yea getting teamates is the hardest part

#

Took me a day or two to mass up a bunch of people that can do one easily

ornate bone
#

I'd open my own game but my own games are still at 30

#

until tomorrow

granite edge
#

dont blame the team i play random all the time

dull finch
#

U reset at what u are on

ornate bone
#

It's not highest completed anymore?

#

What

dull finch
#

Nope

#

Its what rank u have right now

ornate bone
#

30

dull finch
#

Then next week u get a new 30

ornate bone
#

Wow that's fucking

#

awful

dull finch
#

Lmfoa

#

It is what it is

#

Im fine with it

granite edge
#

what if u clear 40 this week u get 40 next week

dull finch
#

Just dont like how everyone loses a try

dull finch
#

U get a 40

#

If u cleared a 40 and u have a 20

#

U stay at 20

#

highest rank completed only gives u the crate rewards

ornate bone
#

so wtf is the point in playing with someone else

dull finch
#

Theres no point

ornate bone
#

This has to be fake info

#

you're fucking with me

granite edge
#

KEKW_ogryn aint no way i lets 20 on my party cause they are hard stuck 30 last havoc

dull finch
#

I just play it for fun and see the type of bullshit the game throws at u

dull finch
#

Dont be a loser and stack books and golden toughness and bubble tho

#

Play the actual game thumbsup_ogryn

ornate bone
#

havoc 40 was the fun for me, so that's exactly what I'm going to do to speedrun

#

then I'll use the shock maul

Yup

#

staregryn bruh play 5game and coping about speed runs still stuck at 30....

ornate bone
#

I can't tell if it's bait or they're just dumb

plush estuary
#

Both

ornate bone
#

Finding literate people do be an increasing issue as of late

#

Only going to get worse, schools right now are awful

plush estuary
#

I got told that the newest update didn't bring anything new

#

And that was a funny conversation

#

Only the biggest talent tree rework since patch 13

#

Probably the funniest mode release (revamped havoc)

#

All because they can't read patch notes

ornate bone
#

I do wish they made the new gamemode harder

plush estuary
#

Yeah, but it's fine for now

#

If you want difficulty play havoc

#

Trials is a chill messa round

twin wagon
#

Auric Mortis trials is coming

plush estuary
#

And you have to think that the average player is in malice and heresy

ornate bone
#

Got my friend to hop on for a day, he got bored of it after the first game and I lost him again thumbsdown_ogryn

plush estuary
#

So trials fits well with most people

#

And we will be getting more stuff

ornate bone
#

That's true

twin wagon
#

I'll never understand what is so hard about difficulty options

#

You would think people would choose a difficulty they enjoy

tame sluice
#

Had a session where I did not roll above a 10 for the entire thing

#

My roll average was like fucking 6

#

it was awful

twin wagon
tame sluice
#

a level 1 party is going to struggle to hit 15 AC on average

twin wagon
#

Speedy Goblino capturing 5 adventurers then went to become a super villain

tame sluice
#

15 AC is annoying to hit for most mid level parties too

twin wagon
#

On a +5 to hit mathematically it's a 50% as you only require a 10 or higher

The rolls staregryn
Party even used a familiar for the help action for advantage, paladin and fighter didn't roll over 10, gobbo kept doing saving throws for mind silver/min damage on burning hands, ranger entangle didn't work and the cleric ran out of spell slots healing

Goblin was clearly blessed by a Nilbog

tidal berry
tame sluice
#

but consider that half the time your party is rolling worse than that

twin wagon
#

You'd think the party would land 1 hit atleast outside of guaranteed burning hands damage

tame sluice
#

no

#

Guaranteed damage is a large part of the reason for the enormous gap in power between martials and casters

#

You do not need to get lucky to kill someone with a fireball. You just need to sling enough of the things

twin wagon
#

Phandelver and Below more like Ultra Goblin and Phandalin

#

Lesson learned tho, cleric now always packs bless

tame sluice
#

what level are they

twin wagon
#

Currently we are at 3 about to visit the good old redbrands after some homebrewed detours

tidal berry
#

I miss dnd

tame sluice
#

I don't miss DnD because I play Pathfinder and LANCER now

twin wagon
#

"I made dnd 5e better"
It's just pathfinder rulings applied to 5e

tame sluice
#

many such cases

twin wagon
#

When our DM asked how he could make x part better, we just linked either Pathfinder or one of the older 4e systems

Tbh at the end of the day its just up to what your DM feels like

#

Idk who even plays it %100 by the book

#

make up your own rules

twin wagon
#

Wizards of the Coast never changes
You can't play Lolth sworn drown they are irredemably evil
WotC:
You can't play full blooded orcs, Ilnevar and co make them irredemably evil, here have a half-orc
WotC: Makes full blooded orcs playable and reedemable
Gnolls:

#

I mean that's true, one of my players are currently playing a vampire

#

But I homebrew a lot

twin wagon
tame sluice
tidal berry
#

just bribe your DM into letting you tbh

#

who cares

#

make up rules

twin wagon
#

I mean DMs love easy to hook backstories, add in snacks and it works for me

Can't really give snacks to the roll20 dwellers

speaking of based pathfinder how about the existence of Archives of Nethys at all

twin wagon
#

Seen the new monster manual?
We lost thugs, we now have TOUGHS

tame sluice
#

Paizo more or less officially supports it, and it's a free wiki of literally every piece of playable content they have ever, and will ever release for the game

#

And then there's D&D Beyond for D&D that nickle and dimes you for every fucking penny you own just to get the content

I have an itch to play vermintide 2 but nobody plays modded difficulties anymore

#

Eternally sad

tidal berry
#

tide games are kinda too niche and stale pop wise

twin wagon
#

Well atleast you don't have to deal with the token issue atm

tidal berry
#

Its always why I never understood the push for casual audience

#

it was never fatshark's strong suit

#

you can't push slop like other studios

#

ehh.. whatever

ornate bone
#

Honestly if they made Cata III deathwish basegame

#

More people probably would've gotten into it

twin wagon
#

I mean you can you explain that to Wizards of the coast?
They can't push a pretend game to everyone where 90-99% of it is imagination? They just push their loyal fan base away in search of a costumer that isn't interested?

really amazes me seeing a level 89 zealot get accepted to a havoc 39 lobby I was just declined from

solar gorge
#

he had true survivor

violet hornet
#

he does, but so do I

solar gorge
#

so his >1k hours cheesing ass is trustworthy for sure

#

try joining a lobby post-reset without any of the grind title/banners

#

see how many request declined's you get from the torelant left

violet hornet
#

ahh are you still trying to the nuzlock permadeath havoc run?

frosty herald
#

Rejecting a true survivor is braindead

clever swan
#

smh not so woke anymore are they

solar gorge
#

i got to h40 pre-reset

#

i have the havoc examplar or whatever but it's not enough to get in a lobby of my own clearance apparently which is 30 because everyone got reset, like fucking everyone else

#

so i'm going to have to host my owns

#

can't even get progress on the assist penance because everyone only want to get carried

#

they don't know i'm better than them

#

in every way

#

i'm crashing out

#

party finder is dogass

violet hornet

it wouldn't be nearly as bad for havoc if you could set a filters for who could apply or even see your match

it encourages the most spineless behaviour

better a gruber than a larper

copper hawk

it'll actually fit me perfect

i got the pro plate straps for the spes officer jacket so i don't die

my sparring partnet is from hq and he's got that jacket

Hema is cool

copper hawk
#

this is what i use now

#

it's too bulky for me

#

and too big

spring phoenix
#

neat

#

I used to do HEMA

copper hawk
#

i'm small and thin and i underestimated how fucking bulky the AP jackets were lmfao

#

michellin man suit

copper hawk

#

erm noo u dont get it i play dress up with other adults and pretend to be in a different historical peroid but im NOT larping

spring phoenix
#

no clubs near me now

copper hawk
#

we're gonna go to a tournament this June, my sparrin partner and i

stone fern
#

larping is for cringe babies!!!

spring phoenix
#

I do BJJ

mighty root
#

If i went to get into hema I’d want to learn fencing with rapiers and sabers

spring phoenix
#

that's what's close

copper hawk
#

there's bjj clubs everywhere that makes sense

#

and it's fucking affordable lmfao

mighty root
#

And big longswords

copper hawk
#

i've always wanted to do bjj but i've always been small

#

and i hated wrestling in high school

#

dogshit sport

stone fern
#

id love to go to a bj club too

mighty root
#

I do wado ryu karate

copper hawk
#

the PRO sets are plastic

#

designed for intense sparring, to be replaceable, and also to not damage opponent's feders

#

there's a big strap that runs along the like shoulder and outside of your arms and forearms where you can tie the plates to the jacket

#

they don't fall off either

frosty herald
#

We gotta get you in german dueling

copper hawk
#

they're really nice, i love them on my ap jacket

frosty herald
#

Nose mask and all

copper hawk
#

lmfao

#

purpleheart sells a sallet

#

it's very goofy

spring phoenix
#

but there's also no nearby clubs

#

there's an MMA club but they do like...crappy 45 minute classes

copper hawk
copper hawk
#

that's a bummer

#

there isn't a club here

#

it just so happened that the unit i'm with right now has some practitioners in HQ

#

an SFC and another sgt

#

we're trying to get some of the other joes to join since we have extra gear/feders

spring phoenix
#

I was never amazing at HEMA, tbh

sullen forge
#

Look in zealot chat

spring phoenix
#

I did go to a few classes down at Schola Gladiatoria, while I lived in that bit of London

copper hawk
#

and plenty of treatises/manuscripts

sullen forge
#

Sallet helms

copper hawk
#

i'm not all that good either

#

i've only been to socal swords for a while, on and off for about two years

#

i have the fundamentals but not a whole lot of practical sparring experience at all

spring phoenix
#

You can't really proper spar until you have all the gear

copper hawk
#

which rlly shows cuz the hq guy i do hema with is the opposite

#

yeah

frosty herald
#

I like vendel helmets with chainmail

#

It looks cool

copper hawk
#

ur thinkin of i think uh

#

buhurt yamato

#

which we kind of thumb our noses at

#

the only way you win is to knock the other opponent over

#

so most hema ppl will say there's no skill at all to it

#

whoever is the biggest wins

frosty herald
#

This is such a scary helmet

copper hawk
#

it's also hellishly expensive, even by hema standards

spring phoenix
#

that's like crusades era?

copper hawk
#

since they actually wear armor

spring phoenix
#

oh the proper 'beat each other down while wearing full plate and padding' deals?

#

yeah not interested in those

copper hawk
#

yeah

copper hawk
frosty herald
#

You mean armor boxing?

copper hawk
#

like far earlier

frosty herald
#

I think it looks funny

copper hawk
#

iirc vendels are a kind of spectacle helmet

#

and are kind of in the anglo/norse sphere

frosty herald
#

Those armored dudes are also pretty athletic

#

Armor isnt light

copper hawk
#

which is like 6th century to 10th century

spring phoenix
#

crusades were like 11th Century

copper hawk
#

yah right before the crusades then

#

those helmets would've probably been an ancestor to some of the first kinds of aventail-utilizing helmets in the crusades

spring phoenix
#

I just know they wore a lot of chain during the crusades

sullen forge
copper hawk
#

bascinets will always just be cool

#

since you can put all kinds of shit on them

#

the german kettle is a cool looking helmet

spring phoenix
#

pig faced bascinet

copper hawk
#

but i always liked spectacle/antiquity helmets for their simplicity

spring phoenix
#

'pig faced' and 'always cool' do not go together well

copper hawk
#

really practical

#

some helmets i like are like the ones they excavated in kyiv and tagancha

#

the steppe nomad ones with the points on them for colorful expression w plumes n stuff

spring phoenix
#

iirc a lot of HEMA people sorta lean towards sallets?

#

because they're that sorta mid point between 'total protection' and 'reasonable comfort/visibility'

copper hawk
#

i have no idea

#

but yah the dove tailing at the back and the smooth design really gets to the crux of those two things

#

wouldn't spar in one though

#

no neck protection (cloth doesn't really cut it with how often you're hit in the neck), and no eye protection

#

i mean, there's a slit

spring phoenix
#

I don't have any of my HEMA gear anymore

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

copper hawk
#

if ur european and u sold all of it ,, or got rid of it ,, curse u ,,

spring phoenix
#

it got destroyed in a flood

copper hawk
#

despair..

clever swan
#

1 deagle would win

spring phoenix
#

if it helps, I doubt we are the same size

#

xd

#

you can't have it

copper hawk
#

oh no

grizzled aspen
copper hawk
#

i've got plenty of stuff lmfao

#

i do need to buy another feder though

hearty nebula
copper hawk
#

i meant to say that like

spring phoenix
#

I will say

copper hawk
#

most of us americans dream to going to europe

spring phoenix
#

BJJ is not the gentle non injurious thing people say it is

copper hawk
#

to actually learn from people with some connection with the history

spring phoenix
#

like you probably get less hurt doing HEMA

copper hawk
#

so it breaks my heart 2 know u ditched urs if ur from europe

#

like how a lot of my european friends take castles for granted

#

it's like number 1 on my bucket list to visit at least 3 before i die

spring phoenix
#

we don't tend to obsess about heritage in the same way the US does

copper hawk
#

idk man ,,

#

all the times we had 2 go over There cuz of obsession over heritage ,,

#

im teasin

spring phoenix
#

you mean joining wars late while selling weapons to both sides most the time?

#

sure

copper hawk
#

just cuz we do hema it puts us in a position to want to learn more about european history

#

since it's all from europe

#

bank rolling entire wars*

#

when 2/3rds of the resources by the soviet union originated in the US

spring phoenix
#

aka war profiteering

#

probably not a flex

copper hawk
#

during wwii

#

considering we were fighting on two fronts i'd say it is lmfao

misty ravine
#

"Help put a stop to the war? Best I can do is give taxpayer money to both sides."
Many such cases!

copper hawk
#

lend leasing shit with very generous loan repayment schedules while fighting on two fronts

#

for a mess we could've stayed out of and continued profiting off of

#

like in both wwi and ii

#

with deals already being established with germany sinking (wwi, no pun intended) because of eventual decision of US involvement

#

the closest was like w the German Empire back then

#

that was genuine war profiteering

#

right up until trade negotiations fell through due to the whole

spring phoenix
#

I generally cba to actually argue this.

copper hawk
#

mexico.. take arizona..

spring phoenix
#

the weird sentiment within America where they think they were the be all and end of all both world wars

copper hawk
#

it ur destiny..

spring phoenix
#

I could live without

#

so I'll pass

#

somebody explain the best way to use the crusher to me

copper hawk
#

one of my favorite stories is about like how the british intercepted that letter and waited to release it at the right time

spring phoenix
#

much like the weird heritage sentiment

copper hawk
#

i'm literally just talking lmfao

#

like i dont really care it all happened in the past

#

i like the stories about all of it

spring phoenix
#

so yeah, best way to use the crusher

copper hawk
#

it's all just Jokes to me

misty ravine
copper hawk
#

skullcrusher and hammerblow

#

carapace unyielding

#

dump defences or mobility, whichever one it has

#

use the special attack when fighting bulwarks and crushers to apply stacks of stagger for skullcrusher

#

you can potentially kill them in like two hits

#

h1 l1 for single target, h2 l2 for hordes

#

run IJ with it, you CAN run piety with the peculiar finesse multipliers on the push attack

#

iirc it's the only one with any multipliers like atha said

#

it can do some wacky stuff

#

it does good armor damage so u don't rlly need piety for chastise purposes

#

so generally take ij with it

misty ravine
#

Also back on topic, did anyone tell Fatshark that Energy Transfer is abysmal dogshit even at theoretical 100% uptime? Because I was saying that when it came out, and even now that it can have (theoretically) 100% uptime, the 1-2% buff it got wasn't even worth their time to search for and change the value in the code

copper hawk
#

i mean

#

they buffed the text of precog and didn't change the code

copper hawk
#

i make it a habit to dodge perpendicular to wherever my ears like

#

pick up where trappers are at

fleet zealot
#

mogochan

copper hawk
#

the distance of that net is very deceptive

misty ravine
#

Even if enemies obligingly swing at you such that you can get a perfect block every 5 seconds on the dot, you'll get 1-2 more activated attacks per heat bar (which you potentially lost by blocking if you could have attacked instead)

copper hawk
#

yeah

#

i think the real like big brain heat thing is with the explosion on lockout blessing

stone fern
copper hawk
#

which, if you go for lockouts, technically gives you significantly more uptime on your powered swings than just using cranial and edging lockout

copper hawk
#

this is to say you're constantly swinging while powered, or even if you need to do that

#

it's a fun alternative

#

changes how u play a bit

fleet zealot
misty ravine
#

Could be worth trying out depending on how big and strong the new Overload stagger is

#

For overall uptime improvement Cranial is still king, even if you let it reach lockout, outside of a few edge cases

copper hawk
#

also bro gets weirdly in his feelings over casual convo about history and weirdly defensive on me appreciating european culture because I practice a european sport ,, he asks for help in the game ,, i give it to him and he disappears

#

u europeanz r weird ,,

#

hawks tuahs into spitoon

#

it rattles for a comically long time

copper hawk
#

and so did the damage it did

#

iirc, in this most recent patch

#

the stagger isn't much, but according to dorn grubs it's effective enough to not be totally worthless in havoc 40

misty ravine
#

I did say "new" Overload
