I still think it was a good decision
Sudden incline on veteran mains rightfully eating shit cause they say they can aim
And then they proceed to shoot it in the chest
Oh I'm not arguing against it, I just find it funny
Basically yeah lmao
Honestly if they want to buff it more I say fuck it
All in
Reverse mauler
Head is flak
Everything else is Cara
Like if you know how to deal with them, then the status quo is maintained
You make a bad gameplay decision, you get to pay for it
Scab ragers are fine but like I’m just saying if they need a buff
Reverse mauler
Funniest shit ever when you have to hit the head to hurt them
Infested dreg mauler would be peak
Double axe overhead 
When are we nerfing uncanny btw
I'm glad plogryn and burgle don't make sense, thunder hammer stocks would be plummeting if they ever change it to infested
Beats of nurgle aren't really "infested" either are they? They're literally straight from the warp chaos beasts
Helbore mains ignoring the change regardless

I mean, poxwalkers and poxbursters and pox hounds are warp-affected too
Nurgle's fuckery is both "physical" and warp-based
Yeah but like at least you could argue the warpshittery is breaking down their physical bodies
In the case of bosses I guess it wouldn't matter regardless since the point is they're these massive hulking piles of flesh that are unyielding cuz of their sheer beefiness
Now a change I'd actually like to see with those two bosses, is them throwing/spewing nurglings at us or dropping them
Especially with BoN
Helbore IV is “slightly more respectful” Plasma basically
Cause it lacks infinite cleave lmao
And has a wind up instead of M1 spam
Ok now I gotta figure out how to make power di track my specials/elite kills
helbore "irons" are also dogshit
Easier to make them use an existing armor type (Unyielding) than just making them use an exclusive armor type (Monstrous) like they have on tabletop I guess
me when I'm forced to aim down a fucking accessory rail
Actual dogshit that they don't have scopes
Of all the guns
they should've given it M1 Garand stylized sights if they were gonna keep it without optics
or lee enfield sights
ANYTHING SOMETHING
Or actual M98/Kar98k sights lol
Why lack optics though? It's basically a sniper rifle stand-in
dork devs hate functional gun optics
The vigilant 7 should have a scope
Their whole flavor thing states that they were modified for counter marksmanship on Vraks
lasgun sights make me want to take mural painting lessons from kurt cobain
Truly genius to stick a bayonet on the sniper gun instead of the standard lasguns as well
Customizing user experience? In Darktide???????????
Dot in center of screen that indicates where my bullets will go
i just find it goofy af that a sci fi game has such poor ironsights 

FS will try to attach us to a messed up cosmetic shop but won't let us attach shit to our guns smh
You could also just have different models of helbore for different niches, one with iron sights and a bayonet and one with optics and a standard bash
like it doesn't have to be anything crazy, just a choice of optic/irons and bayonet/flashlight or bash
Idk why gun marks don't do shit like that more often
Most of the lasgun sights in this game remind me of the Helldivers 2 devs, in that there is no way they didn't make them horridly unfun for no discernible reason
like we've got a fuckin lights out mode but most of the weapons in the game don't have flashlights lol
Who needs flashlight when you have flamethrower?
oh u quickplayed into a lights out missions without a recon las? xdddd
Who needs flashlights when you have the soulblaze psyker making everything uglier and even less discernible
Pre hstubber ogryn
Firearm mks just using different attachments and firing modes would have been a no-brainer

Like the combat shotguns have two different special ammo types
You can just smell the heretics.
lights out heretics when I'm just walking around just swinging my relic blade back and forth:
Is there anyway to get use out of profane weapons?
Like turning them into gold or something
That is how you make weapons, roll profanes until you get the right potential stats then upgrade
Discard? Cause I can't turn them into mastery
Yeah.
Gale crash out
Damn so they are useless...sad
Discarding things refunds them to ordo dockets.
If you get any Emperor's gift items, those also give plasteel and diamantine based on their rarity.
If you want to do that
I think we should beat people with rocks who decide to come into a store at close and then take ages to get their items
And yeah you can upgrade to green to sac for mastery cheese.
Straight up, we kick people out if they don't find their shit quickly.
we should just beat people with rocks no matter what
If you are still in my store at 9:55, I am harassing you until you go to a register or until 10pm. If you don't go to a register and check out, I am well within my rights to call the cops to remove you from the premises for trespassing.
I love that part of my job.
can i get uhhhhh
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
What kind of store closes at 5pm?
And then took 5 minutes trying to find 1 item when I pestered them the entire time
To assist them
Hardware
Oh that's valid then.
But they should've just told you what they were looking for.
dawg people go there for emergencies
Like, you work there, you know where shit is.
Clad
You can control being prepared, though. :)
lmao ok
Yeah killing that person with hammers is a normal and reasonable response, I think.
yeah nvm if its not a plunger or tools or something important
I’m understanding when they’re urgent about getting out or it’s like a pipe busted
ITS FUCKING GLOVES
AT THE FRONT OF THE STORE
THEY TOOK 5 MINUTES
For 1 fucking pair of gloves that was like dirt cheap
90% of my customer base
Straight up have to assist nearly all of them with that
Being a keyhold is both a blessing and curse
I was so disoriented because of the heat a couple of days ago that I was putting the card in wrong every time
Brain was actually fried
Does curio power level matter?
86F so not that hot, but there was no clouds or wind.
no curio power level does not matter
Alright so if I get one that's got good base buff, just focus it
I'm thinking toughness for all three base roll
Then additional toughness for perk
Then HP
Then I'm not sure
it's 17% max for tough and 21% for HP
Veterans with their state mandated 3 stam with stam Econ based perks or they die
Asthma if it was a class
3 wounds
ooougggh I can't play without my stamina....

Being in the Guard is not without its drawbacks, namely asbestos
gut punching me back to 2011 with that shit
even in 42M you can't escape asbestos in your gas mask filters
That's roasting, to me.
Anything above 74 degrees is just agony.
I mean it's roasting here as well since we don't have many large bodies of water
great plains yippie
and I don't live close enough to the rockies for them affect me
eh 80 isn't too bad as long as the humidity isn't above 50% x.x
Had 80 with a humidity of 79% yesterday
sometimes I miss Australian summer
glorious 35C and 99% humidity
No, no, my wardrobe does not permit temperatures above 74 degrees.
getting my daily water requirements through the air

And even if it did, that's still miserable.
Fair
The heat I'll tolerate if needed
I can still cool down
waiter waiter more rain
I would rather it be 40 degrees forever.
Because I can always put more clothes on, but I can't take more off. (at least, not without getting arrested)
I love humidity
we have both here x.x
heat and humidity
and cold lol
Depending on the month
I only have that happen during the winter
40 DEGREES
80% HUMIDITY
LIGHT MIST
True, photogenic AF, but I hate it since it's harder to cool down
I legit want to move to Ontario/Nova Scotia for the sole fact is that their best cities are on the shores of rives/oceans
I hate the plains
this is true, good excuse to go to the beach though
it's also insanely windy
Been there, done that, ruined my shirt from it, not going back 
fair
I run punc/shattering but iirc it depends on your talent setup?
I swear someone said that in here
For relic blade I'm thinking overload and energy leakage
you'd want Cranial/Rampage for everything but havoc
if you'd want to go super meta
at least
overload sadly is not great
I wish it was better since it could be really cool
I thought it purging heat would make it really good
Also how do you get critical hits, I've not seen it as a stat anywhere
crit chance isnt shown but its just a percentage
Fury of the faithful is a guaranteed critical hit
Otherwise chance
You can tell when you swing your sword if it’s a critical hit if it makes a different noise
I don't think I've ever used one of the anti corruption talents
Rebreather seems hilarious but I've yet to see a single build with it
stan is brain genius
this man...
i know, it's beautiful
man these party finder options are so ass
Sorry man I'm not joining your heinous rituals archivium 😭
Is it possible in a future update for Zealot skill tree we will get any form of nade regen for something else besides tknives? you all see it possible? 👀
prob not
what I see changing the most with nades is prob the lead up to them
because the other two options aren't bad
it's just tknives have really good talents leading up to them
rituals is so not fun
They're fun except on the maps where you can tell the devs were trying their best to troll the players
Looking at post-elevator smelter spawn
smelter and archivium are the two I despise for rites
;-;
Last time I played archivum, I was mad the rituals bugged out and just didn't progress because I died trying to get one until I realized it wasn't actually going
Seeing those spawns within a dozen feet of each other was insane though

What is the max toughness curio boost?
maybe I should just get odyssey
17
And is there a way to farm them
you can buy random ones from melk
Beyond that no then?
And once you use all of your Melk bucks, there will be new content only available with that currency 
watching the game spawn twins, BoN, and a plogryn on my team
like why
glarp glarp
You can check Melk and Brunt's rotating shops
Other than that, you can equip +curio chance on your existing curios and play
Speedrunning
if you're not lvl 30 dw about getting the best curios
Especially since it's impossible until 30
Don’t do it ainz
have you seen what they did to meow?
atomic frogs
Who is meow
kicked the nest
she's a demon
me drunk driving
glad we're on the same level as Iraq
lol
creeper world 4
My friend psyoped me into one session of this
What a strange game
Fun though
WHAT THE FUCK
Why tf am I laughing
DRIVING IN MY CAR RIGHT AFTER A BEER
Bomb them
bomb them
bomb them again
and again
Its the weirdest thing but its really good
Hello carpets
HEY THAT BUMP IS SHAPED LIKE A DEER
D.U.I How about you die
How good is the axe?
Uh the early game one that comes with the zealot I dunno
this is truly the creepiest world 4
I think it's the combat axe that zealot starts with?
Either way it's pre good iirc unless I've missed it getting obliterated
It is fun but you loose momentum fighting swarms of armoured enemies
What exactly is cleave and impact and strength
Byeah
cleave is how many enemies are damaged/staggered per attack
impact is stagger
strength is damage/stagger/cleave
Got it
400 hours and never knew thst

why did you fight the twins 500 times
i love how it’s just a super rare quick play mission now
i've been getting it a lot on qp 😭
fat... shark!!!!!
That's the Rashad
Best axe in the game
Looking at my score
312k dmg
442k overkill damage

No such thing as overkill

It can get a bit rough with armoured enemies
Just heby
I feel like I am opening a soda can with a pencil
What’s that?
why the fuck i die in 1 hit when i make a mistake on havoc 33
arby makes me so lazy
please tell me what im doing wrong i cant with this 😭
Well melee enemies are applying corruption
i feel so tanky and yet so squishy at the same time
So you just got combo'd
i know its not the class i know its definitely a skill issue
i suppose
just venting frustration tbh i just wanna improve
but after playing arby and ogryn, playing a class that actually needs some brain capacity to be used is a bit of a workout
time to suffer from cancer
What's the main difference between MK 10 and MK 2 for relic blade
slash slash stab you mean i think?
That's mkx
o
Mark 2 and 10 have different Finesse multipliers as well as move set.
I'm kinda waiting to make my 'build' until level 30
Cause I feel like if I try and do it now I won't have enough points
zealot is an incredibly diverse character with many possible builds
Holy shit
25 giblets or 10 bones which would you rather in a barter deal
Pretty fun game, though I remember one strategy I used that exploded the game's challenge
I think it had something to do with the charged cannon
i was left to the wolfs and mauled :(
I knew L L into looping heavies felt better than light spam on mk 10
Beyond heavies just doing more damage
This menu shows the finesse boost curve multiplier value for the first heavy and light attack. These are not for the entire weapon, both have very similar finesse setups.
Mk2 has a golf swing uppercut, which makes it morally superior on principle

Similar to the Evi Mk3, it’s just always been kinda statistically outshined by the other mark despite having a cooler moveset. Still a very good weapon though
this and IIIVEG, CIVI 
any other maelstrom mods I qp
It used to be better for crowds by a fair margin but due to the latest balance patch this is no longer the case.
Now you only take the Mk III for the light strikedowns, that's the thing carrying its viability over the Mk XV. 
"carrying its viability over the Mk XV"
Never thought I'd see the day 🚬
Shine on crazy diamond
I use the evis that I think looks cooler
I should make an Evis15 edit
I never played VT2 so I didn't miss the Executioner Blade moveset
As soon as I get a video editor
Generally I just didn't like that it was an M1 weapon when the Mk3 had a whole cute combo
I played vt2 after dt so idk I still used the big sword tho
Im glad the Evis were brought up to snuff though. The thematic stuffs shouldn't be outshined by the regular swords lmao
Relic blade was kind of the final nail in the coffin for the Evi when it was released
It should have just been a painfully normal sword as a "relic" from 1270
That would've been a funny troll
Just a normal ass fuckin longsword
You swing and it gets stuck in the first thing you hit, qte to pull it out
Hear me out everything gets turned into a medieval version so it's just vt2
All the guns are varying types of automatic crossbow
Boltgun is just a large slingshot just autoslings fist sized stones
Lasguns just don't fire anything things just die in front of you
The lasguns can just be vaguely gun-shaped sticks
The forums would shit a brick that they could remodel everything for an april fools joke but we get recolored cosmetics sold in the cash shop 
Evis was not in a good place back then either. Outside of Unyielding damage and the bloodthirsty 1 shot chaining, Chainsword had better crowd performance by a lot, Chaxe had better single target. Even if you remove the RB from the game the Evis isn't currently pulling its weight very well.
Yeah but the evis is way fucking cooler than those
Even getting a kick in the ass is better than being left to rot
It's like wearing fake jays
this is true, but it's only second place to the fabled 2h chaxe
I would kill for a battlechaxe
This is a threat of violence in name of fatshark I will do whatever it takes
Whirligig is cool but have you experienced the beast cutter
Wasnt that the Dks2 puzzle sword one from the DLC?
Who needs fancy tricks and mechanisms when you have a steel whip that weighs 100lbs
One day how they perform will be equivalent to how cool they are (also if they stretched the blade length by 30% that'd be wonderful)
I want it to be double edged with a fricasse
my gravship faction will be the sky hoppers, their venerated animals the bullfrogs and colossal toads; their gravship will be The Fly
I want the evis to be a zweihander with teeth
Nothing compared to my SoS2 colony that went for 12 ingame years without touching planetside
New "Repentia Pattern Evi" with zealot rework when
urs wasn't called The Fly so it was less cool and maxxed
bozo alert...
prob will be for the agri evis or whatever they'll call it
Flymaxxing rubbing my hands together
Make it look like a zweihander and call it the zwei-ausweider (literally "two-eviscerator")
Currently the Mk XV. Good single target, roughly the same crowd damage as the Mk III.
Hold on.... holding the heavy attack dont make it stronger unless I use the thrust blessing?
It's pretty much just there for timing reasons. The ideal is releasing a swing as soon as it becomes available to swing.
blessings on dueling sword, thrusting doesnt look bad
uncanny precog thrust riposte
in that priority order roughly but you can mix and match
Been loving the relic blade
Melts groups, handles most specials pretty well, and holds up against bosses
My biggest issues have been armored ragers
Those guys are demons
There's a lack of frogs
If you use mk2, scab ragers become significantly less annoying because you have strikedown lights.
That makes sense. Good to know! Thanks
Goon for the goon throne
what weapon would you guys recommend to couple with Combat Axe? i need to play it a bit more and i see the weapon is quite strong
GOD AND THRONE!

Hi frogcast ily 😍
I had bubble gum chicken last night
You know the drill
Using dueling sword as zealot xD
quick question what is the best KNOIFE version?
its all fish
3
When did the slanish worshipper get here
Slaanesh is the lord of discord
Think about it
hi
I am absolutely writhing rn
Stan's thoughts on AM, on this fine morning
The molly kicking in?
;droof

Okay is it just me or does the crusher like suck
crusher is good, there's a comprehensive guide for it in the pins (a ways down)
It just feels like it takes like 8 hits to kill a gunner at damnation
It needs certain attack patterns to be at it's most effective and is pretty finesse heavy, you do tons of damage hitting weakpoints with it
Especially the push attack
Crusher is also a ramp up weapon
With skill crusher and slaughter it wants to hit bigger enemies multiple times and to have a few slaughter stacks
It can 1 shot gunners with the push attack
(unsure if I had slaughter stacks at the time)
Even without it should be like, 2 hits
chat what does "weak to fire" mean
for reference this was a zealot
A skill issue
Not a thing, yea
I was also zealot and spent most of the fight trying to keep them alive (By applying relic blade to heretic)
they also got sniped on extract like some movie shit
The only thing I can think of that can change fire damage ticks is full DR which zealot only has from "Good Balance"
*non toughness dr
they adding elemental strength/weaknesses next patch
to darktide?
yeah
I'm playtesting next patch rn
@ripe quest I never thought it but does flamer tank/fire barrel fire ignore TDR but is affected by DR?
please tell me zealot rework come next patch
arbites rework is next
imagine if they enshittified and taxed the tree out of nowhere
that was always the best option for zealot if you weren't woke
Damage dump
because of woke
No wokes in my chudtide…
dump damage, don't bother with rending it's ass
prease tell me we getting 2 dog
or 3 dog
as a keystone
multidawg
you can replace all your teammates with dogs
no more pins they just do the leap endlessly
You can now actively not play the game cause the dogs simply turn AI spawns off
you can already do that with a full arbites squad with dogs
when does the fire event end
just block with shield and watch the game plays itself
Are the 64% on Mobility & 76% on Penetration stats ok? I had this dropped but the dump stat isnt 60%.
dogs can now take a bullet for you
and now you can get a buff for each down dog
permanently
its fine if you dont want to minmax
On ALL my other weapons, I took the time to get 60% on Mobility from the Armoury.
its ok if you dont have ocd
I do however
Yes it is quite painful xD Thing is it was dropped after a game so I didnt have to do anything 😄 I just changed the perks+blessings. If I were to acquire a 60% mobility Tactical Axe from the armoury. it would take quite a few materials to get it to max level.
Errrm 😛
after the crafting update
its so easy to max roll when you reach level 30
just a few dockets and your done
THE NUMBERS THEY MUST ALL BE EQUAL AAAAAA
DAMNIT PEOPLE ! xD
warhammer?
OK FINE ! xD
dats crazy
im kidding btw
next you are saying that we are fighting some kind of tide
that 4% will only net you like 10 damage
against some armor types
No. Now that you've mentioned it, it's stuck in my head.... The dark deed MUST be fulfilled.
noooo i woke up the ocd monster
Well it was quite satiated as ALL my weapons on all the characters are 60% on whatever dump stat I used 😛
Most on topic Zealot chatter
freaklot
Yeah after losing four back to back games with the crusher, I really really don't like it
It just feels like it is too weak tbh.
its not
What does your crusher look like and how are you using it
you are uising it wrong if you say its weak
I used the crusher with propah perks and blessings and obliterated an entire quadrum of tertium
Only level 5 with crusher.
guh
blunderstrike?!
Once again, I'm only level five with it so I don't really have any perks unlocked atm
Yea missing skullcrusher
And the weapon wants you to use combos, if you're just doing lights or whatever you're gonna have a bad time on top of that
I'm mostly doing heavy's mixed with lights to get damage out to the enemy's as a whole., Alongside pushing strikes.
There's a guide in the pins that goes over everything, only thing that's changed since it was made is that you want skullcrusher slaughterer for blessings
Let me correct myself:
I'm doing H-L-H-L mostly.
I don't know if that's the right way to do it but it works
Ah.
can mix lights in
with slaughter stacks you can 1 shot horde with lights
so lights for horde trash
light heavy for mixed
depending on situation
special for only stagger
or a tiny damage increase if you have time to charge it
I'll try it.
only if you're lucky, sometimes it's over 200k
Okay, I see why it's good now
Such is the god emperors might that even the wicked fall upon their own blade when exposed to his glory
H1 L2 loops, the block cancel slows down the chain time into H1 as you need to do the startup animation.
least chaotic opening to that map
Xbox
Im new :3
u can add me if u want
Mid mission now
I see, okay
we have found our great ones
Tox flamer tank explosions/fire are affected by TDR (they damage toughness).
Scab flamer tank explosions are affected by TDR, the fire itself is just affected by DR.
To my knowledge barrel fire acts the same.
fellas which combat knife mark?
scab flamer explosion and fire barrel go straight to hp damage
The explosion itself seems to do toughness damage, the on ground fire goes straight to health.
both
lmk when ur out
heavy attack the only main difference?
mostly
Push attack as well
and push attack
6
Slightly better horde clearing
10% faster push attack
It is a poke
Out of wonder as I've heard alot of people say the thunder hammer is bad.
is that true?
Haven't really used it yet.
No, it’s just really good at specifically one thing
And less good at everything else you need a melee to do
One shotting monsters yes
Most zealots I've seen are running the relic or oddly the chain axe.
croak
i heard its like a lite thammer
Yeah I don't really get why i've seen so much chainaxe zealots.
I can only guess they're leveling that weapon or they really like it.
Just got out
add me im doing some stuff w/ my files and then I'll be in
I am playing with one of my girlfriends currently so I probably won't be able to play with you for a while but I did add you
Just hit lvl 30 so I'm gonna try and make an actual build now
Are the knifes actually worth it?
They are sometimes weird about new people
it is what it is
The knives are good yes
Ironhelm variant is a great generalist up to auric maelstroms, from there the crucis shines as a boss removal tool in Havoc because of how much of a problem they can become
So it is good, but you need to use it for the right things
Is there a way to see your crit chance?
Mod, or memorizing the base crit chance and what crit chance talents or whatever that you're proccing
Yeah theres a mod for it
me trying to memorize unlisted crit chance modifiers on different weapons & attacks
just memory then until they do the vermintide thing and start implementing mods into the ame
Yikes RIP
....you turn brown?
they wont
such be life
Just wondering cause I'm wondering if the bleed on crit stuff is worth it
unless its a modio integration and that's the worst case scenario
yes
It's pretty alright, stellar for Unyielding and just ok otherwise.
Scourge is very good
I play on controller and i love knifes
Check the pin posts for the general weapon guide
thanks, gotta learn the weapon more
You’re still leveling up zealot but this is what your entire build tree might look like
so now ur bleeding everything you hit
and now critting because things are bleeding
So you're making the non bleeding enemies get crit in a horde
Generally speaking there isn’t that much variety in the top half of the tree because the talents before throwing knives are the de facto best talents
Besides purge the unclean in the middle section
I can't wait to get rid of my stun grenades after I do the shocking penance
I thought bleed on combat blades wasnt worth it
I'm running relic blade and boltgun
there used to be no other greande option............
whats the dump stat on Dueling Sword? seems like cleave damage on mk4 but every mark has different? or is there universal best?
you don't need to put bleed on the combat blade
You can dump either cleave or mob
scourge should take care of that iirc
On the mark 5 defenses is in the same place as cleave
When in doubt? Mobility is always the dump stat
Except when it isn’t
choices choices
Why no chorus, it's been an amazing skill for me and my team
id have to check which marks id use, so far i like 4 the most but maybe in future id be forced to use a different mark due to inevitable nerfing
fotf is generally considered the best skill but you can also path through chorus if you prefer
You CAN, but it forces you to gimp yourself in at least one part of your build
Just don’t take either of the modifiers
Usually at least
Yeah the freakin ogryn ripper dumpstat is ammo which tripped me up
I take the damage mod to help boss nuke
All 3 marks are getting nerfed just use the one you like most
Mk5
The modifiers are generally considered not impactful enough to use a talent point on them
But it depends on what your entire build looks like
I like the team support the skill gives but fair enough
I'm trying to get a clip of my tree instead of like 3 screenshots
tell me more
Form what I read is almost unchanged but it’s getting a parry
And it’s my fav ds not too broken
Parry is fun
What are the big meta build(s) rn?
I thought that was just someone's suggestion for DS, not what it was likely being
this is what I am streaming
The one I posted
They were Chinese patch notes translates to English
What weapon are you hoping to build around?
God please don't let DS get parry before the OG parry weapon stops being so mid
just saw @visual stream buy this game in my feed
n-no
It's fun so far
Theres realistically only one meta build and you just change what weapons you use
doesnt 5 have wack damage against armors tho
Depends on how much you want to draw the line between what you consider a different build
Honestly im jumping around rn tryna lvl all my weapons up since i just came in after like a 1.5 year hiatus
I was burning floor tumors and disposing of corpses until war time started and the state abducted me to be a Sanitar
With uncanny not so much and we have access to constant crit and fury
They took my flamethrower away and gave me a gun 
Why knives over fire nades? I hate using the knives 😦
The talents before the throwing knives are the best talents
Why in the fuck can't I find a blank image of the Zealot skill tree
And knives remove the need for a ranged weapon to deal with specialists
If you path through fire nades, which you can, it is a straight point tax
Hmmmm
Cuz i use the nades as panic buttons
But i played stealth with knives for a while so i can bite my tongue
Mobility
You don't want to lose unarmored damage
The fire nade is very good
It’s just expensive to take
The red marks are where I put points
i thought 4 and 5 use mobility tho?
Yeah and the ranged option for specials makes sense
No duelist or second wind is rough, buddy
Yes but those points are better spent in a skill that affects your overall gameplay more
Like duelist and second wind, two of zealots best talents
I don't dodge much
Zealot has a lot of tdr (toughness damage reduction) and you can get all your bonus toughness from your curios
You need to dodge
The more i think about it now, prolly dueling sword and recon laser
It is a core part of zealots kit
Not in a mean way, but that's similar to saying you don't melee often
Blocking has worked way better for me
It is a core mechanic
If you want to play zealot as effectively as possible you need to dodge
It’s a fundamental skill but very important on zealot
Plus you can't block any ranged enemies
Dodging isn't practical when it's pulling me away from the thing I'm trying to cleave in half
Also QQ canceling 😏
It feels so clunky
It doesn't pull you far enough away that you can't still hit it
It would be one thing if you could forward dodge
But I don't think to go back, I push forward
Side dodge
dodging can consistently give you a significant damage bonus from duelist and toughness from second wind
And tdr from good balance
The slide is your forward dodge, technically
That counts as a dodge?
Yes
That's weird
And certain enemies break thru blocks, like ogryn crushers
You have to dodge ogryn crusher overheads
Also I was told that I couldn't get max roll curios, now that's I'm level 30 am I able to?
Yes
Not that I have the gold, been putting everything into my weapons
But they are rare
I have all 13% toughness curios which have worked for now
Max toughness is 17%
anyone has any tips for "just a flesh wound"?
Do the train mission
So don't get obsessive tryna get all 17% tuff or 21% hp curios. 16 and 20% are fine
- Do train mission
- Don't use wounds/martyrdom
Yeah there's a 16 in shop, can't get it though
okok thanks, gotta find people to do it with
finding one other zealot that needs it to pair up with is a good way to get a private game going
true
Also is it worth grabbing wound curios? Like yeah I get the marter buffs, but less toughness to make being at low health work
check out the vox-lfg-XXXX channel for your region / platform
Yeah Just focus on 16 and 20%s. 17 and 21s and bday gifts lol.
dont mind the clip ratio
If you are on martyrdom you should be using wound curios
You should never use them otherwise
Oh right, cuz you get stronger the more wounded you are
I just took martyrdom because it seems like the only one I would get milage out of
All of the keystones are very good
Blazing piety is considered the best one
But note that wounds do not increase your max health
I'm aware
Only the number of segments your health bar has
But martyrdom increases your toughness at low health, right?
Yeah heresy onwards is -1 wound
Mhm
Theres no other wound reductions
Toughness DR
The left node of martyrdown gives you tdr
What's the max on that btw
Martyrdom: always take 3 wounds plus the +2 wound talent
Non-martyrdom: never take any wounds from anything
Oh Asian said that
Yeah but then I have no toughness or health
I'm decent at surviving, but not that good
Not that good yet*
Martyr is built around getting stronger the more wounds you have
I mean, if you're taking the keystone that synergizes with wounds
It is natural that you take more wounds
Martyr thunder hammer seems like you would turn everything into meat paste in a single hit
Otherwise it is wasted potential
You wanna stay in the Pain Lane
Yeah but I'm saying there's a balance to be had
Probably, i dont run martyr builds lol
If I have all wound curios, and I can't even take extra base toughness
Didn't see that 
Good balance gives you base dr
Talent on the right side of the tree below throwing knives
2wound1tough felt good
That's not base DR
I'm sure that's usable but probably not optimal
It's a triggered effect
your math pales before my vibe (empirical science)
The triggered effect is base dr
Do what you want, all that matters is that the enemy is dead 
Side note about the slide, its the only way to dodge ranged damage
Dump Stat on bolt pistol is collateral or mob?
either
Sprinting
collat worth less imo
Coll
You can also side dodge as well
Yup
boltpistol is so kino
Which combat blade mark is good? And what blessings and perks
i love my 50-50 collat mobility dump boltistol
Flak unyielding/maniac
So ive noticed ranged enemies will instantly snap target back onto you after a side dodge, but have a slight delay after a slide.
For what
Piety helps with crit builds but you have a reasonable amount of crit without it depending on the weapon
Relic likes crit, it has a finesse modifier (crit and weak spot damage)
no dr cap dr just stacks multiplicatively no?
There isn’t a dr cap dr is just multiplicative so it doesn’t reach 100%
Ah....that's terrible
So trying to figure out how much DR I have is gonna be a nightmare
Wonderful
on zealot realistically u just have enduring faith and maybe good balance
so ~50% usually
Just multiplication
oh and benediction
Which can change depending on what gets factored first in the math
So if you have 2 sources of 50% dr, it’s (1-.5) (1-.5) = .25
75% dr
Multiplication is commutative
Order doesnt matter
on zealot with just enduring faith (50% tdr) and benediction its 62.5% tdr
Bombs…
