purg has the same delay as surge when flurry triggers. It's not too bad though

I definitely need to give the 4 stack Headtaker Decimator AB a run at damnation. Seems promising. Suck my axe 6 stack whiners.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zSLiEpAlm8

Since Soulblaze increases the Headtaker and Decimator stack count, with a proper perk (+unarmoured and +infested) combo you can make a 4 stack AB hit like a truck. The trick for Decimator is that you need to have your last melee hit connect with an enemy.

If I manage to find a Decimator IV I am pretty confident this combo would kill every non-e...

I can't be bothered with frames in Tide games. I still have classes without borders in vermintide or I pick a pretty one regardless of whatever its for, cant even remember most of them KEKW_ogryn

Neat

Personally it's how they keep adding these hidden drawbacks like upgrading now having way more of a chance for level 2 perks every time they make it seem like the crafting system is changed that you can clearly see they're doing to make it just as grindy while appearing to be more manageable so people would get sucked back in

A lot of people are complaining about getting a fuck ton of level 2 perks on upgrading myself included

Either

Definitely more on blue though

I have been getting only T3 and T4 from purple to orange

I'm talking about the perks

AHH I was talking for the blessings

Nah blessings seem reasonable

Just perks got majorly gimped from the looks of it

Gotta get that player grind somehow thumbsup_ogryn

Can't let the players actually get what they want and stop playing that's a nono thumbsdown_ogryn

I believe thrust also works for soul blaze boosting

Have definitely considered head taker + thrust caxe for a Purg build

Power on heavy charge works

Everyhting that has +Power works

Just hold on I'm charging my axe at thin air to strengthen soulblaze

Don't question it Vet

Lol

rocky cedar
#

You wouldn't understand

#

It's big brain time

obtuse crypt
rocky cedar
#

We need a Psyker with giant brain emoji for this server already

steel flame
rocky cedar
#

TBH I don't care that much as long as game is fun

#

But content is kinda thin NGL

obtuse crypt
#

What sucks is that the core gameplay IS fun but it's buried under all these shit choices

#

And not like we'll get new content until they figure out the perfect way to waste people's time

rocky cedar
#

They did say content coming before end of month

#

Who knows what content

#

But we'll see

obtuse crypt
#

I'm so skeptical man, even the patches I was excited for had these shit hidden changes they made to make the grind more difficult then it seems

rocky cedar
#

I've been overall positive on most of the recent patches

#

Last one was pretty stinky though

still hearth
#

This game is probably kinda fun

#

But then you get a bit too good at the game

#

And Malice starts to be too easy

#

That's when it all goes downhill

obtuse crypt
#

I have 850 hours in the game Sitgryn

#

Malice got too easy around 150

spice veldt
#

i'm pining for that t4 slaughterer FS with +carapace so that I can dunk on crushers

rocky cedar
#

It's fun on Damn if you don't care too much about upgrading too

#

Just generally the less you care about upgrading the more fun the game is

obtuse crypt
#

Honestly at this point I just want a perfect weapon, like any of the weapons I prefer

#

But every weapon I have always has a downside lmao

still hearth
#

There's no need for perfect weapons but I feel the same.

#

I just want to have one to see how it feels tbh

obtuse crypt
#

Same

#

And you'd think after 850 I'd have one whatthefuck_heresy

still hearth
#

I'd think after

#

200 hours

golden tartan
#

I have a near perfect Lucius

I... barely feel a difference

#

tbh

still hearth
#

You'd have several

#

Guns don't count

steel flame

#

The only ones that are hugely improved are like autopistols and shotguns

golden tartan
#

Ye

#

Well and axes

#

cos BM OP

still hearth
#

Autopistol with Blaze Away and Pinning Fire is just

#

Insane

golden tartan
#

mhm

still hearth
#

Then you get like

#

Lasgun

#

And it has

+10% damage on critical weakspot

golden tartan
#

very ammo hungry though

still hearth

#

Eh onslaught is insane

#

but fair

steel flame

Everyone be sleepin on the laspistol supremacy

still hearth
#

On Lucius I guess, but I don't use those

#

Rifles are icky

golden tartan
#

πŸ˜›

#

Ngl I feel like we need a lot less ammo to go around

#

Atm ammo is too plentiful, esp once you throw in a psyker or two

still hearth
#

Sometimes it is and sometimes the game decides to choke you

#

I've had Damnation runs where we find big ammo packs around every corner

#

Then ones where we're all on orange

golden tartan
#

Fair, but usually thats when we have 4x ammo intensive guns in a team and low ammo spawns and people were using it kinda willy nilly

plucky perch
#

fellow spark heads 3 failed heresy runs, so im starting to think its me, how ever im the last to go down and twice was the only one to not die near the end, how do i better suport the team?

steel flame
#

I love when you drown in plasteel as you starve for ammo

plucky perch
#

nu uh gaming laptop recording is crashy and inconsistent

golden tartan
steel flame
cyan notch
#

pretty hard to say besides dont die kill gooder

still hearth
#

The only way to support the team appropriately is to run ahead and kill stuff before they get hit

golden tartan
#

and give each section an amount

still hearth
#

Surge staff enjoyers go back to your caves

plucky perch
#

@steel flame i have seen that happen all three times

steel flame
#

That would do it

spice veldt
#

i genuinely do think that being extremely forward will keep your team from dying

still hearth
#

Keep charging

#

And dodge stuff

spice veldt
#

except that you yourself are at risk of dying

still hearth
#

Its the best way for sure

#

The game does have hidden aggro mechanics and stuff

spice veldt
#

on a super linear map like consignment yard, this is the best strat

#

literally just run and fuck ranged enemies up in melee

steel flame
#

The way I see it is if I'm gonna die I'm gonna do it with the team so theres no point hanging back on a dive most of the time

cyan notch
#

until u pull a bunch of reapers and gunners and ur team is collecting mats

spice veldt
#

consignment yard doesn't have too many sightlines like that

#

and i got me trusty trauma staff for such situations

#

i also usually collect mats anyways since running too far ahead of your team is a problem

still hearth
#

Also run 30% revive speed

So you can get noobies up

My new favourite mod - friendly NPC in Morningstar. Sir Melk inviting for a drink πŸ™‚

Only issue with being out ahead is being the one to discover the 8 gunners hiding behind a railing and getting suppressed into next week

Nope

our arms are too weak to handle brautos

The best guns are like XII and the Vraks HH

I haven't tried infantry guns in a while though

Open you eyes man. Laspistol supremacy is upon us, you just gotta wake up and see it

Imagine using a XII to snipe when u can be charging with a laspistol

# feral verge is las pistol any good on psyker?

I've found great success with laspistol on damnation. It's more high effort than other options, mainly if you aren't getting headshots you aren't doing shit, but you can melt specials elites and ogryns in seconds

#

Still tweaking the build, rn I've got t1 1 and wrack and ruin instead of what's pictured

bold flint
summer prairie
#

the special attack still feels too slow to be good even for this

steel flame
#

Laceration pairs really well with laspistol.

still hearth
#

Since you'll BB all the time anyway

plucky perch
#

so with both executor and the newly buffed warp unleashed feat even at miimum i think my force sword rll is hitting a certain bp on hoards ive found if i manage to conisstently land head shots with the two some what verticals and the finishing poke i actualy get some of the "good job" voice lines along side a bull butcher ogryn when i was melleing in a pinch

#

was also at max warp charges obviously

#

might be my imagination though

olive ember
#

you want slaughterer

#

it basically gives you 3x the power without needing to keep hitting heads

surreal eagle
olive ember
#

with it you don't particularly need warp unleashed and yeah

plucky perch
#

aware its supiroer but its literarly NEVER dropped for me in 200 hours of play

olive ember
#

thats

#

oof

plucky perch
#

so im making do with a roll i already have

olive ember
#

yeah fatshark moment rip

#

in that case yeah it probably helps

plucky perch
#

and i have literarly NO issue keeping head shots rolling in melle

olive ember
#

actually warp unleashed only helps with special attack on FS iirc

plucky perch
#

thought it effected base damage too...

olive ember
#

so if you are one shotting trash thats just warp charges + executor doing the work

plucky perch
#

one sec will meat grinder to check

olive ember
#

i could be wrong but I was pretty sure

plucky perch
#

nope

#

100% works on normal and heavy attacks too

#

tested with mutiple repeat light attacks to both groaner torso/ limbs fro the same position multiple times

#

base damage is 61, warpflurry NO peril 67, warp flurry max peril 77

#

witch means even with out warp stacks i was hitting a certain break point of killing the first and second weakpoint hit pox walker ina hoard and staggering more to follow.. might even kill a third at max stacks high peril AND maxed executioner

#

annnndd managed to test yes insta kills the first two horde chaff if i manage to line up the head shots does heavy damage to the third and thanks to the power bonus does actualy manage to stagger a decent number after.... still wish a slaughter would drop for me though

feral verge
#

unstable power too

plucky perch
#

that would be a fun synergy to combine

#

though i tend to like keeping deflector

#

if only because marching into fire with it can feel kinda awesome

#

i normaly dont worry about bps or anyhting but this sorta satisfys me know i can relyably one shoft shaff

feral verge
#

i like deflector too

#

i've got a nice sword for it

olive ember
#

yeah alright force weapon applies to FS normal attacks

feral verge
olive ember
#

so now I'll admit that warp unleashed isn't completely useless

#

just mostly useless

dasa good roll!

feral verge

oh rip

its available in the uh

the only "preorder" skin is the B hat

whatever its called edition

#

B hat is beta

cyan notch
#

i notice the effort to get t4 stamina

feral verge
#

imperial edition skin

olive ember
#

I forget if +10% melee to elites is good

feral verge
#

HAHAHAHHA WORTH LESS ONLY 15% BLOCK EFFICENCY GO DELETE THAT THING

bold flint
#

it affects a lot of things you want it to affect but its not likely to hit any breakpoints

plucky perch
#

@olive ember i think +flak is better since 90% of eleites are flak? i think?

olive ember
#

it only rly matters on maulers tho

#

I can one shot scab ragers

#

and dreg ragers etc. aren't flak

summer prairie
#

The patch had some quicken related changes but not sure what they do. Maybe nothing at this stage

surreal eagle
#

Interesting finding

steel flame
summer prairie
#

Not much to tell because I don't understand them. The ability itself now has "stacks = 1" modifier and the stack(s) are used in some other ability functions in some way

still hearth
surreal eagle
steel flame
#

Trying to hammer out the finishing touches. A new las with 80 in everything but mobility and the change to wrack have really increased the damage I can put out which is nice

olive ember
#

yeah idk what the did to the patch

#

but holy shit im crashing alot

steel flame
#

Put toughness on crit kill blessing on to help smooth toughness regen

olive ember
#

just crashed trying to switch loadouts in the meat grinder

steel flame
#

It helps

still hearth
#

And looking at it

surreal eagle
#

Yeah, I think i'll build one. Gunners can be tough to deal with when you have no vet, and a bunch zelots as psyker

olive ember
#

man I like the autogun on vet

#

but holy shit I can't deal with ranged

forest coral
#

Autogun on vet is like

#

Party time until bulwark

#

And then no more party, only angy

olive ember
#

or snipe across the map

forest coral
#

Hue ye

surreal eagle
#

That's funny, the laspistol has a force push for special attack on psyker

still hearth
#

If it worked

#

On Flak

#

It'd actually be a noteable bonus

steel flame
#

It's not like you can push flack ragers with melee anyway

#

Same force

surreal eagle
#

Huh it has really good crit damage i'm finding so getting the toughness on crit kill is actually pretty easy. Feels like ur not killing anything till it crits

steel flame
#

It's why you really need headshots

#

On mobs especially

surreal eagle
#

Head shots are too much effort. But I think with crit perks the pistol would be really interesting

#

It's almost 4x crit damage on the body

#

You must have really went down the rabbit hole to use the laz pistol. It's hard to generate toughness without a staff + quelling but toughness on crit kill blessing covers that

olive ember

uneven drift
olive ember
#

but yeah idk wat weapon to try out now

vale creek
#

isnt staffs are the most optimal weapons fpr psykers?

#

we really need subclasses or specializations... to make viable gun psykers

#

with different ulties and skills

olive ember
#

I mean

#

well

steel flame
#

Like cough vermintide cough

olive ember
#

yes staffs are the meta

#

but honestly anything can work

#

psyker is actually pretty flexible

vale creek
#

imagine bending bullet fly or charging guns with psykinteic force

steel flame
#

Or or ...... giving a gun a force push

#

Woweee

#

Really outside the box

vale creek
#

u can use ur skill while wielding a gun arent u?

olive ember
#

you can press F

#

so yea

#

I use it for reloading

#

makes it alot comfier

vale creek
#

i interact with F

#

E is my skill

#

just preference

#

Q is Bb stance

#

also could b melee focused psyker too like charging any mellee weapon with the element of ur staff

#

fire smolaxe goes brrrrr

#

but yea see you in 2 years if this will even happen

olive ember
#

meh I just play with default bindings so

#

F is ability

#

g is bb

surreal eagle

was hoping for t4 transfer peril and good perks but i get this

timid storm
#

Is there a way to see what all the blessings are?

#

I want to upgrade my purgatus, but need to see which blessings are options/which i havent unlocked

river sand
#

theres a mod for that on nexus

olive ember
#

blessings you want warp nexus and terrifying barrage

bold flint
#

basically reads 100% more damage on crit

olive ember
#

purge and surge staff blessings are: warp nexus, warp flurry, run n gun, focused channeling, terrifying barrage

#

of that measly list

#

only warp nexus and terrifying barrage are worth bringing

#

warp flurry would be BiS after nexus if it actually worked but

currently broken

A couple of small buffs for Psykers in this patch - but there's more than meets the eye! With this small change, Wrack and Ruin might no longer be a meme feat to take anymore. Meanwhile, Warp Unleashed may have gotten stronger but it's still a little too situational to be a real choice for buildcrafting.

For the crusher, you need both wrack+lacerations

Or a weapon swap

Still not impressive but I guess it is better

wrack and ruin needs to be applied on every cast

That would make it the best pick in general tbh

Just BB

summer prairie
#

I think I'll choose to believe the code

still hearth
#

All the time

#

The code has never been wrong before staregryn

#

Immeasurably complex

#

But yeah idk

summer prairie
#

They literally just changed the min and max values and it uses the same scaling

still hearth
#

He hits flak and only the arm

#

And does some math

#

I'll check it in game myself sometime

summer prairie
#

Someone else here was testing it with FS and was getting 25 I believe

feral crater
#

The big thing about scaling is when there is modifiers on modifiers.

#

Having +10% when you already have +100% is only a small increase.

#

So could be that the guy just assumed it is a direct multiplayer instead of addition to other multipliers

summer prairie
#

Yeah it isn't

#

If you have +flak it's additive with that I think

still hearth
#

I just realized

#

They do the wrong calculation

#

Since Warp Unleashed adds 10% to begin with

summer prairie
#

Oh

#

Good

still hearth
#

And they're like "calculate the number I got from the hit at 0%"

#

Yeah it probably works as intended

#

Just YT brain

feral crater
#

yeah

#

Quite possible.

#

Research hard.

#

Psyker brain too full

#

OWIE!

still hearth
#

Yeah it does 25% correctly

#

The YouTuber just missed that it does 10% always

Apparently they said so in the comment too

rocky cedar

Tyr posted a video defending it at one point

still hearth

Yeah I saw

But I want t o see in game

#

In the Psykarnum it looks okay

#

But that doesn't account enemies running around

#

Wrack and Ruin can two shot Crushers now though

rocky cedar

Seems like it'd be good for clearing around Ogryn elites

That's funny

Maybe in hi damnation, also depends on your team comp

Also the YT guy

Making strange takes

To BB

Seems like it might be alright with a head taker axe too

still hearth
#

And lacerations I think

forest coral
#

No charges?

rocky cedar
#

Don't know if you can hit any meaningful breakpoints

still hearth
#

Wrack and Ruin isn't needed with All or NOthing.

summer prairie

Does it then still also apply to all staff damage

#

Probably applies to staff damage too

Not on staffs

rocky cedar

What has the staff got to do with all or nothing and Wrack and Ruin sorry?

#

I'm confused

All or Nothing works with BB

So they're considering if it works with staffs too

#

And guns

rocky cedar

I see

Well, he could've ran the goddamn tests

Isn't it like+5% power?

Up to 5% power

Not with a staff

in what way

safe crystal

What a fucking weird interaction

rocky cedar

Haven't tested

I tested just now, adds some damage on BB

rocky cedar
#

My point was more even if it does affect staff who cares?

safe crystal
#

Doing staff now

#

It DOES affect staff damage

At least voidstrike, but there it is

Goes from 705 with all or nothing to 678 without

Staff used in the test

On a reaper

Full charges

summer prairie
#

Do you still have to have full stamina when you switch from your melee

safe crystal
#

Lemme check

#

You do need to be at full stam to get most of the power out of it

echo turtle
#

I think it probably is OK in a barrage build to clear horde when you are picking out spelites

safe crystal
#

Switching from 0 stam melee into void strike behaves the same as just running around 0 stam with staff

#

It also increases soul blaze damage passively, what

#

Its just a straight up +5% power to everything you do

Not really a great deal but hey

That's better than the trash it was before

interesting... so it's still possible to get Tier 3 Blessings from hourly shop, I wonder if you can get Tier 4...

rocky cedar
#

The only damage resistance perk I give one single damn about is sniper resist

#

I've been lag shot one too many times

#

Actually more than 1

mellow dock
#

Ive tried both

#

and im leaning more to full toughness

leaden thunder
#

it's mostly preference which is nice

#

if you like toughness then run toughness

rocky cedar
#

Yeah there are good arguments for both on Psyker

#

Mostly comes down to what damage sources you're trying to mitigate

mellow dock
#

i feel as though what i was running was optimal

leaden thunder
#

ye, toughness is generally better at counterng ranged while hp is better for melee

mellow dock
#

1 toughness 2x health

leaden thunder
#

if you can eat a damn shooter burst

#

it probably is

safe crystal
#

Running 2 health 1 toughness, with mostly toughness regen and +5% hp/toughness on all of them

olive ember
#

2 health and a wound

#

lets me perform not think and still have 2/3 of hp after everything is said and done

#

I personally find adding extra toughness won't make that much of a difference

#

a single shooter strips toughness in one burst anyways, having 20% more won't change much

#

having more hp helps against corruption and scratch damage like the stupid pox walker that the shield ogryn knocks behind you or poxhounds and mutants

#

also helps against BS like snipers, bombers, flamers which outright screw your toughness over if it touches you

echo turtle
still hearth
#

Not going down to one sniper shot

echo turtle
#

gunner resist I also like

still hearth
#

That you couldn't dodge for whatever reason

#

Is definitely nice

echo turtle
#

Yeah

#

with 0 resist I had dropped with half my health still there

still hearth
#

I wish they'd rework how sniper works on toughness

olive ember
#

if sniper just did BS toughness damage and then bleedthrough

#

I might stack toughness damage

#

but as it is now I don't think it cares about your toughness like at all

still hearth
#

It does.

#

But you need to tank

#

100% of the toughness damage

#

Or you take full HP damage

olive ember
#

and how much toughness does it go through again?

cyan notch
#

yes

still hearth
#

1250

olive ember
#

Someone just needs to play a vet with max toughness curios and toughness perks

still hearth
#

Or 1225

olive ember
#

And then run 75% toughness reduction

#

Ez pz

still hearth
#

You can tank

#

Several sniper shots

#

With Unwavering Focus and Sniper Resistance

#

It's absolutely hilarious

#

With max DR I think you take 10% damage from snipers

#

Which is actually the base HP damage

#

And you can have up to 340 toughness I think

#

SO you can tank more than two sniper shots

#

But then you need a Zealot too

olive ember
#

Too much thinking

#

More hp easier

still hearth
#

I'm going for full toughness, sniper and gunner resistance on Vet

#

At some point

#

Just to be able to press F and then walk through everything

warm spindle
#

So since force weapon perk goes to 25% it is now ILLEGAL to use any other melee weapon than force sword considering its basic attacks count as a force weapon

leaden thunder
#

nope

still hearth
#

Imagine using that

leaden thunder
#

only the special does last I checked

still hearth
#

Over peril resistance

#

It works on all force sword attacks

leaden thunder
#

does it

warm spindle
still hearth
#

Yep

leaden thunder
#

I though it wasn't before

warm spindle
#

its op

still hearth
#

I mean

#

You're using the Force Sword

warm spindle
#

Stacking with warp battery you get 49% damage

still hearth
#

Really hard to stay at 100% reliably though

warm spindle
#

also attack pattern > claw

leaden thunder
#

which less then the antax against anything but like maniac

still hearth
#

Well

#

I guess you can force shove

#

But that's a DPS loss

cyan notch
#

yea it worked on all fs attacks before

leaden thunder
#

I have been a victim of misinformation Guarded

still hearth
#

That's what we get for playing this game

still hearth
#

Hang on

#

So with

warm spindle
#

Idk vermintide has taught me to live at 90% or im unoptimal so its not hard to stay at high peril

still hearth
#

All or Nothing

#

On Voidstrike

#

You can cleave 1 more enemy

#

That's actually not bad

leaden thunder
still hearth
#

It has 6 cleave at full charge I think

cyan notch
#

most common scenario would be ur usingb ur staff ur peril is going up and bad dudes with big rocks on a stick roll up so probably 1 fs charge and ur at 100% already

still hearth
#

So you can penetrate 1 more poxwalker

cyan notch
#

then u can keep spamming special for max damage

still hearth
#

Gonna have a hard time giving up my peril resistance though

viral solstice

why are u using peril resistancfe

Yea Obviously, I got more hours in this game than you, I got more games played and finished in this game than you do. And I've been playing Damnation only since the game released. I got all characters at 30, I've used all weapons and talked to multiple mains of said weapons about their pros and cons. And would you guess it? NO ONE PLAYS THE EVISERATOR IN HI-INT DAMNATION
Do you know why? Obviously not? Because you probably have a skill issue of your own since you decided to use one of the current worst weapons available for the Preacher the EvIsErAtOr

So to be honest, I've found the Veteran to have a real high skill ceiling. It can be pretty hard to use, and to use it to it's maximal effect is something few people (such as myself) can do. If any of you do true solos like me (i am better than true duo players), you would realise just how difficult this class actually is to use. You can't just, pull it out and wave it all over the place, you need to shoot thinks, not spam power sword too much and get RSI's or carpal tunnel, and really only use it on select enemies, which is something most people will never be able to do.

So like

that comparison straight up doesn't hold water

gear grind but u have layers upon layers of rng

okay so let me just make some claims

lament sonnet

yeah

olive ember
#

I’d prefer grinds where I’m making some form of progress, this is just roll the dice and pray

warm spindle
#

You could scrap, craft, minmax and everything without it feeling like a grind at all

last pike
#

so nothing holds water

lament sonnet
#

like many other games out there

#

The actual gear acquisition part is still pretty dull. That's the part that makes this shit so bad

Not the actual RNG

Lets claim its the other way around?

If it were more fun to run the content and grind out tons more gear in a shorter timeframe, you'd not care

because if u make a claim, nothing else holds water

Interesting take.

#

I've played this game

For 400+ hours

I'm definitely enjoying the content

The content is the only part we can all agree isn't totally scuffed

#

I need more content

#

Nothing to do >.>

cyan notch
#

rng to get the right modifier rolls rng to get 1 correct perk rng to get that 1 perk tier high enough rng on blessings rng forever

warm spindle
#

If you just play the game youll evetually get enough slop to do what you want, but if your looking for that one perk for your weapon thatll complete your build. Good fucking luck lol

still hearth
#

Giving people more gear was literally what they did

#

And it made the grind way less annoying

#

But its still

lament sonnet
#

The problem is that getting gear and pulling the RNG lever is way slower than it should be in a game with this level of RNG

still hearth
#

Fucking annoying

lament sonnet
#

So it's just not fun and you get hung up on the numbers too easily

still hearth
#

If they gave us 10x more stuff

olive ember
#

I mean… not particularly true

#

Gacha games revolve around not getting enough pulls

Just let me spend my resources to make the weapon I want

Yeah

#

The gacha game experience

still hearth
#

You can adjust the number of resources

olive ember
#

I’d say darktide follows this pretty well

still hearth
#

But RNG is just attempts to hide the grind

#

Especially since this RNG is just bad

last pike
#

reduce diamantine drops increase plasteel again

#

the ratio is still fucked

still hearth
#

They'll reduce diamantine costs again

cyan notch
#

just look at brunts

still garbage spending millions for a couple usable rolls

clear hamlet
still hearth
#

Well

#

I never said it succeeded

lament sonnet
#

RNG is not an attempt to hide the grind, it's the point of there being a grind at all.

#

Retention tactics.

viral solstice
#

but is fun to shoot gun

still hearth
#

You can make grind without RNG

viral solstice
#

and hit man with axe

olive ember
#

Axe user

lament sonnet
#

I never said you couldn't

#

but then you get Destiny

still hearth
#

You can also make RNG that is meaningful and worth grinding for

#

But this game is like

#

A middle ground

lament sonnet
#

Where the grinds are just sucking your life away and you can't play but one character

still hearth
#

The RNG is just whether you get a bad or good weapon

lament sonnet
#

Yet to find a game that actually hits a middleground

still hearth
#

Not whether you get a weapon that does 5x damage but has 0 ammo

#

If the modifiers weren't capped

#

And you could get 380 in one

#

I'd say this game's RNG would be funny

#

But atm its just a lot of tiny RNG elements that make marginal differences

still hearth
#

And making a better weapon is a hassle

golden tartan
#

the RNG barely matters

#

only a few things do

#

and even when you make a better weapon it...

#

doesnt feel much better

still hearth
#

They could remove the modifier RNG

cyan notch
#

it does in some cases

still hearth
#

And just keep perks and blessings

viral solstice
still hearth
#

And it would be better

lament sonnet
#

There's no way to really do that with this current iteration of the gear scheme

#

They'll have to rework it

viral solstice
#

this is why u should be playing to do goofy shit

Which I'm all for, really.

instead of making small number bigger

but then the problem is they have to balance it around vets too

Yes

is it better than the stacking less channeling?

2 balls 1 staff

You crit at most 30% of the time

wide tiger

Not really, but it's fun

still hearth

Which is not reasonable

dense mica
#

maybe its good at horde

#

dunno

still hearth
#

More appropriately you crit 20% of the time with the ideal set-up

#

And warp flurry

#

Makes you shoot 50% faster

#

Almost all the time

#

So its the same effect but you control it

wide tiger
#

Yeah

still hearth
#

Surge can sometimes proc repeatedly which is the only time its superior but overall its just not worth it

wide tiger
#

Flurry is just too good

Since you have to give up Transfer Peril

maybe u just go nexus and surge

I can live without transfer peril but flurry is insane
