I think I had at one point. I just wasn't sure how many kills I'd get out of it as I'm trying to push into the higher health pools of Hi-4 and up.

shadow wigeon
#

Getting more damage out of Nexus is easier now so it's harder to recommend Barrage.

lethal folio
#

Deimos+Recon

orchid shadow
#

Good lord.

fading shoal
#

Kinetic Deflection at level 20?

olive ember
#

Yes

spice veldt
#

since a big caveat of the force swords is that the default block cost is higher than any other melee

lethal folio
#

no they don't.

spice veldt
#

did they changed it?

lethal folio
#

1 inner 1.5 outer.

spice veldt
#

I did some pre-patch testing it it consumed more stamina bars to block a groaner's attack

lethal folio
#

Did you compare it to dueling sword?

spice veldt
#

between all the melee weapons

#

i jotted my results here

kindred anchor
#

is there pswords on there

spice veldt
#

nay

#

should be pretty to calculate tho
block a hit, take the stamina% lost from the block, and multiply it by the max # of stamina bars to get a rough idea of the bars that you lost from blocking

lethal folio
#

More bugs!

fierce sinew
#

lmao

#

literal fatfinger

lethal folio
#

K for now it will be 1.5/1.5 so you're right it is the worst blocker.

spice veldt
#

WHAT IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL

fierce sinew
#

it was intentionnnal

spice veldt
#

oh just the misspelling

shadow wigeon
#

So uhh... KD is blocking bullets without Deflector for me.

lethal folio
#

that's just new force swords

#

they have can block ranged by default.

shadow wigeon
#

Hold on a second.

#

what

feral verge
#

yeah

#

illisi and deimos have deflector built in

#

likely a bug

shadow wigeon
#

Ok, I assume a bug.

fierce sinew
#

you can still roll deflector (the blessing) on them, which would be some next level trolling if it was intentional

#

intentionnnal seems more likely

shadow wigeon
#

Un doutebdly

cold geode
#

said it before, but i think they did the deflector thing intentionally, they are gathering data on whether they should put it on all the FS's going forward and remove the blessing or stay the other way around

shadow wigeon
spice veldt
#

i highly doubt it because the new force swords also have that old "feature" where swapping to them makes you momentarily move faster

cold geode
#

if they were going to fix it, they would have done it on the hot fix that fixed the power sword

shadow wigeon
#

But I see what you mean

olive ember
#

Should just make deflector a default FS then

lethal folio
#

A lot of the new weapons are still using the same code from beta.

olive ember
#

And then rework the blessing

#

The weapon switch to increase move speed is still a thing

#

On the new force swords kek

safe crystal
#

Its easier for them to remove deflector from the FS than make a whole new blessing to replace deflector

#

So it'll get removed

sleek pebble
#

Big L

safe crystal
#

Thats extra work, i dont see Obese Megalodon doing that

shadow wigeon
#

What if we buy extra cosmetics to fund the development.

olive ember
#

They’ll pour the money into making new cosmetics

shadow wigeon
olive ember
#

Why else would they have a working mtx shop before a crafting system

sleek pebble
#

They need to do something big. My original V2 group tried darktide and immediately shelved it

olive ember
#

Idk what they can do outside of new game mode tbh

#

I mean new subclass will be fun to tinker with I suppose but

spice veldt
#

new mission objectives and more complex map environments

olive ember
#

New objectives yes

safe crystal
#

Honestly, its potential wasted. They should've delayed the game, but it was pushed out in a broken state, and its taken half a year to get it into a position where they're finally drip feeding the already made weapons to us as 'brand new'. Same for the MTX shop with the massive amount of stuff already in it, they're slowly drip feeding it now

olive ember
#

What you mean by more complex map environments

safe crystal
#

I mean, wheres the flash missions?

olive ember
#

Lmao shhh

spice veldt
#

I think the map sections so far feel a bit too open to me

#

I'd like something more winding and claustrophobic

#

hab dreyko 2.0

olive ember
#

Rly? I want more open maps

#

Like if we are on the outskirts of the hive city

spice veldt
#

that'd be nice too

sleek pebble
#

Gimme both

olive ember
#

But I’m just afraid maps aren’t enough tbh

#

Cuz realistically speaking they’ll release like 2 maps

#

At a time

#

And after the 10th time on those two maps they’ll prob just be like any other map

#

I mean thinking about it even l4d2 had 3 gamemodes baked in. You have normal games, survival mode, and then versus

#

And then map variety wise you had a bunch of modded shit

sleek pebble
#

Remember V2 versus? Pepperidge farm doesn't

grizzled jasper
#

It’ll come one day

#

Our grandchildren will play it

autumn smelt
#

so what exactly is the difference between the deimos and obscurus force sword

grizzled jasper
#

Then they’ll say it’s garbage

autumn smelt
#

just attack patterns?

olive ember
#

Deimos has better single target

spice veldt
#

attack patterns pretty much

autumn smelt
#

preferences between the two?

spice veldt
#

and the 2nd heavy being a heavy thrust with increased damage (about 2.5x-ish higher than the usual heavy)

lethal folio
#

I say the Deimos is better in all aspects.

olive ember
#

disgust

#

Obscures move set is better horde clear mainly on its heavy 2

#

That’s about it

#

Idk how they would make obscures relevant again with the deimos around tbh

#

They are so similar

sleek pebble
#

Buy both and try them in the psykinarium?

olive ember
#

So one will p much always be better than the other

#

We have all of em

autumn smelt
halcyon fractal
#

Deimos has the advantage of lots of stabs that are exceptionally easy to spam headshot whatever comes to melee range

#

So the hordeclear on it isnt even worse id say

autumn smelt
#

thats what ive noticed

#

im having a way easier time horde clearing than ive every had with any weapon that wasnt a power sword while leveling a character

#

purely cuz it does such good damage to heads with attacks that are easy to hit to the head at a very fast rate

olive ember
#

It’s prob noticeable if you are in rly thick hordes but

#

Most people pair it with purge anyways so

autumn smelt
#

its also nice when i just walk up to a gunner and just click once and his head fucking explodes

#

thats neat

olive ember
#

No slaughterer stacks?

#

Idr deimos breakpoints

fierce sinew
#

not having to stack slaughterer is a bigger deal than people make out

autumn smelt
fierce sinew
#

slaughterer is busted obviously but it does have some setup cost

spice veldt
#

yeah, it's one of the reasons why i liked pairing it with the prepatch bloodthirsty on the obscurus

feral verge
#

who here

#

is excited to receive epic and game chaning loot

#

from melk

#

in around 30 mins

spice veldt
#

crickets

fierce sinew
#

3.5 psykers rolling and my expectations couldn't be lower

#

...surely when all 5 are online he'll give me purg warp nexus

feral verge
#

i just need t4 unstable power

#

and my main build is done

#

thats it

primal plume
#

The datamined outfit for Psyker is Empath Witch

#

which follows the naming convention of Storm Witch

#

So sounds like biomancer is confirmed

olive ember
#

I mean in code our psyker is called the biomancer

#

It’s fucking weird

primal plume
#

probably just internal naming for programmers

#

iirc

lethal folio
#

What is epecially weird is the psykinetic is called biomancer, but all the biomancer stuff is on a different named class.

primal plume
#

storm witch is called something else in the code too

#

im really psyched to see what we can get

olive ember
primal plume
#

since biomancer is alot more defined than what we have currently

#

wut

olive ember
#

So we got two different biomancers, just that the one in code is actually psykinetic and the one that’s actually called biomancer is actually called gunslinger

#

Apparently

lethal folio
#

You found the names!

primal plume
#

"I see your prognisis. You have a knife in you. 50000 Dockets, please"

lethal folio
#

I don't have to conceal it anymore.

#

Yeah protectorate has the lightning hands which would be the trailer psyker we saw.

primal plume
#

dont we already have zappy hands

lethal folio
#

Kinetic needs a stick to zap.

olive ember
#

There was lightning hands in trailer psyker?

lethal folio
#

Not class spotlight, the main trailer.

primal plume
#

the dome thing sounds cool

olive ember
primal plume
#

could be clutch when lots of ranged are attacking

#

presuming it stops all bullets

halcyon fractal
#

I hope "biomancer" isnt healer if that ends up being a thing

olive ember
#

I mean I always thought that was a cinematic trailer thing

#

tbh I’m a support main normally so yeah

#

I’d be fine with a healer XD

halcyon fractal
#

Understandable

primal plume
halcyon fractal
#

I do love utility and stuff but straight up healing? Too far for me

primal plume
#

if it is a healer

halcyon fractal
#

Altho by the description in that thingy it does not sound super healery

primal plume
#

its probably just toughness healing

#

and not hp heals\

#

raw hp heals on demand would be too much

#

would be broken imo

halcyon fractal
#

Yes

primal plume
#

medipacks would be useless with a biomancer

#

in most cases anyway

halcyon fractal
#

Supportive utility would be fun to mess around with tho

#

I also wonder if there are gonna be new penances for new classes

autumn smelt
halcyon fractal
#

I just hope they are less painful...

primal plume
#

it will probably be as much a healer as kerillians sister of the thorn is a healer

#

replace healing with "toughness"

#

Either way

#

im excited

halcyon fractal
#

Fair enough

primal plume
#

were way overdue for new stuff

halcyon fractal
#

Upon thinking about it more same

shadow quail
#

I bet vet gets the first new class KEKW_ogryn

primal plume
#

God i hope they release classes for everyone all at once

halcyon fractal
#

Surely they release 1 for every class at the same time

shadow quail
#

Didn't do it like that in VT2

primal plume
#

it did

#

and its awful lmao

#

everyone wants to be the new thing

#

if you didnt play that character then sucks to be you

#

plus

halcyon fractal
#

Vt2 also had 3 careers per character at launch and the newly released ones were dlc

primal plume
#

wernt we supposed to get subclasses by now?

shadow quail
#

I thought they said 1 class every 3 months

primal plume
#

I imagine they have a lot of them ready to go but waiting for the warhammer event

halcyon fractal
#

Its a different situation so itd make sense we would get 1 for every class at once

#

Id not well uhh

#

Sucks for non vet players lmao

shadow quail
halcyon fractal
olive ember
primal plume
olive ember
#

It’s been a quarter

primal plume
#

i could see this being our blitz ability

olive ember
#

Feelsbadman

primal plume
#

a cast ability to heal ourself

shadow quail
#

They delayed to fix the game, but can't see them suddenly dropping 4 classes if their goal was one a quarter, and they are behind

primal plume
#

but in all actuallity

#

we probably wont get heals

#

but things like iron arm and enfeeble

olive ember
#

If we do it’ll be something like kerillian where it only activates conditionally

primal plume
#

warp speed could be cool too

olive ember
#

Pls no

primal plume
#

pls yes

#

all 4 psykers

olive ember
#

We don’t need more speed runners who die instantly

primal plume
#

zoomies

olive ember
#

I’ve dealt with enough knife zealots

primal plume
#

or use it to make people run off ledges

grizzled jasper
#

Sacrifice health for speed boost OmegaGuardsmanHype

primal plume
#

unexpected speed boost

shadow quail
#

I wonder if the new classes will be paid dlc

grizzled jasper
#

Probably will be

primal plume
#

Also

#

tyranids

#

i imagine its a big dlc

#

either all in one tyranid stuff

shadow quail
#

There is a ton of stuff they could do for DLC

primal plume
#

or options to buy individually

olive ember
#

Meh I don’t even want to think about dlc

#

Not until each class has like 3 subclasses or wte

orchid shadow
#

I wish a pure BB build was possible. Having 5-6 second ults is kinda funny.

lethal folio
#

It is possible

orchid shadow
#

It's just me laughing maniacally through the whole map

feral verge
#

yeah its possible

#

but good? nah

#

cuz it isnt fast enough

orchid shadow
#

Yeah, I just ran it for giggles on Malice, 11% from curios, and Quicken with Inner Tranquility and Aura

feral verge
#

i hope it fucked with ppl's heads

#

i feel like noobs would think you were hacking infinite ult

rocky cedar
#

I still can't believe they made wrack passable then immediately erased it with the warp unleashed buff

#

So dumb

wide tiger
#

Hey, just be happy we have warp unleashed lol

rocky cedar
#

I'm not

#

It's dumb

pearl lion
# shadow quail

I think there may have been some higher priority updates than new classes lmao

wide tiger
#

You know there are far worse problems to have

#

ie psykers state on release

rocky cedar
#

I think Psyker now probably doing better DPS with an Antax than Zealot is extremely questionable design

hollow current
#

melks shop giving both my of my psykers guns again

#

pls stop

pearl lion
#

Here is my suggestion to FS. Give us a currency that we can earn to spend at Melk's to get a specific weapon at his store front's quality level (purple or orange).
Could do it that you get one coin per difficulty of mission completed, have it cost like 20 coins to get a thing

wet jacinth
#

Milk: no

sleek pebble
#

Talk of dlc, was something announced or just speculation?

rocky cedar
#

I would just like an actually decent amount of currency for doing weeklies

#

That would be enough for me

pearl lion
#

Still RNG based, but it would at least alleviate the issue of new weapons diluting the pool

olive ember
restive slate
#

I want Melk Dailies

sleek pebble
#

Rip

pearl lion
#

Also yeah, Melk dailies need to be a thing

fresh steeple
#

oh shit oh fuck

olive ember
#

Tbh I’d be pretty pissed it a dlc was announced

fresh steeple
#

I just rolled that from a gray

orchid shadow
#

Does anyone even buy his Mystery boxes?

olive ember
#

If they trying to sell me a new dlc when the game just got put into a semi decent state

#

Not anymore

#

We used to buy his gacha boxes

pearl lion
olive ember
#

But then brunt’s came out

restive slate
#

Replace Mystery Boxes with daily logins, done

olive ember
#

And it’s literally just a better system

robust relic
#

ranged crit damage doesnt do much on a purg right?

restive slate
#

Get a random box with every day log in

fresh steeple
#

acceptable

rocky cedar
hollow steeple
#

what should I do about the perks?
swap out unyielding for flak or unarmored?

feral verge
rocky cedar
#

Probably least of all on Purg

olive ember
#

Dunno tho

subtle linden
robust relic
#

sad about the perks, not sure it's worth the buy at 3k milkers with those perks

feral verge
#

i had flak on mine, but found i prefer maniac on it, cuz it does enough damage as is

hollow steeple
#

maniac does sound good
I do tend to bonk mutants, ragers and flamers with it

feral verge
#

you could rip that blessing off @robust relic

robust relic
feral verge
#

oh aight

hollow steeple
#

actually should i just swap out infested? that's just dogs and poxwalkers, right?

feral verge
#

a mainly hordeclear weapon

#

i personally use BB on ogryns and shit anyway

hollow steeple
#

lol who hits bursters with melee

hollow current
#

ogryns

feral verge
#

my illisi

hollow steeple
#

alright, fair enough then

feral verge
#

need t4 unstable

robust relic
hollow steeple
#

pushing them and bonking them are different lol

hollow current
#

Is Exorcist even good atm with quell speed being so fast in general?

robust relic
#

+dmg to poxwalkers/groaners is just a better +dmg infested imo

lethal folio
#

Melee hits often have bigger stagger distance and better hit detection

feral verge
#

for toughness regen

#

i get a shitload

#

from battle meditation, toughness on kill, and exorcist

hollow current
#

Does it proc even at 0 peril?

feral verge
#

idk, im always at high peril

#

cuz illisi makes that easy as fuck

cold geode
#

low resistance allows you to get to 80% peril quickly

hollow current
#

yeah charging the illi is quick

cold geode
#

doing special attack over and over again

restive slate
#

I'm considering Exorcist Illisi build

feral verge
#

i will post the video for the 100th time

hollow current
#

as much as I like the deimos I kinda got hooked on how smooth using the illi is.

feral verge
#

cuz its the best video ive ever made

#

that's 41% peril resistance

olive ember
#

Still clickbait

#

Says 5 seconds, but video is 7 seconds long

#

SMH

feral verge
#

technically, there's time inbetween when i start rubbing

olive ember
#

Even accounting that

#

Still longer than 5 sec

hollow current
#

I used the Illi with my new psyker and slapped slaughterer 3 on it and it made everything easy.

feral verge
#

the 'cum' animation beigns at 5 seconds

#

before that, even

runic hornet
#

I'm gonna buy it for the blesings but man if only the base stats were better

feral verge
#

i have one with that

restive slate
#

With slaughterer, Illisi doesn't even need to charge to horde clear

cold geode
#

All or nothing IV any good now that they inverted it?

feral verge
#

but this is the illisi that goes on my main build, which uses purga

#

this is the other illisi

#

shame about the carapace dmg

#

and the high warp resist

restive slate
#

Worth ignoring Deflector?

runic hornet
#

right now the illisi has deflector built in LMAO

#

no need for the blessing

feral verge
#

rn deflector is on illisi and edimos built in

#

likely a bug

restive slate
#

Well we can't rely on that haha

feral verge
#

i dont use deflector much on this

#

even with it built in

restive slate
#

Even when ripper Can Opener was a bug, I trained myself to stab before blasting Crushers

fresh steeple
feral verge
#

i use it a bit on my obscurus

feral verge
fresh steeple
#

as if it's not 100%

feral verge
#

you never know with fatshark

#

i think its a bug

#

95% sure

fresh steeple
#

I know enough to know that a blessing that's built into specific weapons is a bug

feral verge
#

congrats

#

shieldgryn obscurus

fresh steeple
#

they've nerfed several of my blessings that were less obviously bugs than that one. Good bug while it lasts, though.

restive slate
#

If next update makes Deflector built in, I'd be guffawing so hard

feral verge

Could do a weekly thing, day 1 cash, day 2, melkbux, day 3 plasteel, day 4 diamantine, day 5 plasteel and diamantine, day 6 an orange item, day 7, a small bundle of aquilas

olive ember
fresh steeple
#

no one had a thing to say about a gray staff rolling into double desired three-tiers? 😛 I at least hoped for a "That a boy, internet rando"

restive slate
#

Plasteel dailies, retent me all you want if that becomes a thing

pearl lion
#

But I get what you mean, I also don't like the concept of feeling like its compulsory to login every day

olive ember
#

It’s off-meta tho for funny crit strike + wildfire

fresh steeple
olive ember
#

tho warp nexus + blazing spirit is apparently better on trauma cuz bigger explosion radius

fresh steeple
#

game's not hard enough to necessitate meta cookie cutter comps anyway, unless your singular goal is to masochistically run, like, High Intensity Blackout Damnation maps

olive ember
#

High int shock troop apparently is an experience

fresh steeple
#

is the one I have on hand for that

pearl lion
#

So I haven't actually used the Fire Ult talent. I use the fast brainburst one. Is the fire one considered the best?

fresh steeple
#

but I really don't like Trauma. Scatters mobs too much, and the peril is much more irritating compared to VS

restive slate
#

I was overwhelmed the first time playing shock gauntlet but it's quite fun once you know how they spawn

olive ember
#

And you would basically have a meta trauma

#

Prob swap crit chance tho but eh

fresh steeple
olive ember
#

XD

#

Fair

fresh steeple
#

it's made worse by the fact that I hold Trauma in low regard because it keeps screwing with me for Surge

#

I've now seen Surge three times on Melk, and always on Trauma

restive slate
#

Ngl Trauma went from my least fave to most fave

fresh steeple
#

so Trauma stays in my bag as punishment

#

just wanted a rapid fire Voidstrike for the lulz, but noooooo. Always Trauma.

restive slate
#

So you're saying that you've been... TRAUMATIZED

fresh steeple
#

agreed, I'm saying that

mental junco
#

which dodge limit should i trust lol (ok the right side says 5

north cradle
#

I buy?

olive ember
#

🤔 it’s

mental junco
#

no...

runic hornet
#

meh stats, rank 3 blessings, save your melkcoin

olive ember
#

The perks are both bad, neither blessings are t4, decent spread but low roll overall at 333

mental junco
#

cara is nonsense stat is so bad

runic hornet
#

melkcoin is either for very good weapons with stats+perks+blessings that are ALL good, or, adding level 4 blessings

mental junco
#

blessing is also that useful on this one

olive ember
#

If you literally don’t have a purge or like it’s some Garbo tier 50% burn then maybe it’s worth getting

#

But if you have something even close to that one then no

mental junco
#

i like a terrifying barrage and the cant interrupt

north cradle
#

I thought Warp Nexus was the one I wanted for double stacks

restive slate
#

Terrifying Barrage... Yea that blessing exists haha

olive ember
#

It is

#

Meta is warp nexus + warp flurry

#

On purge and surge

mental junco
#

terrifying barrage just keep most enemy at bay while burning them, i kinda like it...

north cradle
#

I'll show you guys my current Purgatus and you can be the judge

elfin roost
#

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

sacred pumice
#

Up for sale from Milk, might be more rare than an actual good roll

mental junco
#

lol

north cradle
#

My current Purgatus

sacred pumice
#

I've never even seen the level one perk before

north cradle
#

It was a lot better than I remembered

olive ember
#

Yeah no just keep your current one

#

Swap nexus for a t3 or t4 nexus

north cradle
#

If I could ever get Nexus

mental junco
#

my burna!

olive ember
#

And swap carapace for flak or maniac

north cradle
#

Wait why don't I just buy the Melk Purgatus and slap the T3 Nexus on there

olive ember
#

You could

#

General rule of thumb is to buy t4 blessings but

mental junco
#

btw why Purgatus need crit chance?

olive ember
#

Up to you rly

#

Cuz purg applies 2 stacks of dot whenever it crits

mental junco
#

doesnt it use the dot to cause dmg?

north cradle
#

Crit gives two stacks of Soulblaze instead of one

mental junco
#

ok

#

should i looking for crit in perk?

rare furnace
olive ember
#

On purge it’s personal preference

#

Some people run typical flak + maniac

#

Other people swap one of the two for crit chance

rare furnace
#

I went full crit because the server decided

feral verge
#

i did it

#

was finally able to win a round of high int damn shock

#

makes me wish we could actually pick and choose what modes we wanted

#

cuz its by far my fav mode

north cradle
#

What were the Vermintide 2 hub hotkeys? I think H was the mission screen?

north cradle
rare furnace
#

And then KS would be a thing

#

Very fun

autumn smelt
#

do the elites have to be different kinds for pick and mix or is it just 5 elites

rare furnace
#

Penace?

#

5 whatever elites

autumn smelt
#

ok thats not as bad

rare furnace
#

Use the feat that speeds up your bb

autumn smelt
#

ik

#

i dont have it yet tho

#

lole

rare furnace
#

You can hit them 1-2 times with your elector or flame stuff

#

And then boom them

#

Boom first then ult to get speed and do the others

#

I did it by accident before getting the feat as well

#

Haha

#

But will be probably hard

graceful aurora
#

Anyone ever surrdner a weapon to get a blessing and then not have the blessing after?

rare furnace
#

Nop

graceful aurora
#

well heck then.

You get the blessing for that type of weapon if you new in this

fresh steeple
#

could just spam purchases of gray flame staves, perhaps

graceful aurora
fresh steeple
#

you probably won't get one with good stats unless you buy a lot of them, but you can at least get something quickly if you had literally no other purgatus staves

fallow falcon
#

What can I do to improve this sword?

restive slate
#

If you don't need Deflector, can replace with Slaughterer

fallow falcon
#

What about perks?

#

Not familiar with the meta for melee perks

restive slate
#

Normally, flak and maniac is most sought after

#

Can replace carapace as there aren't many of those enemies to deal with

#

And the Deimos is already strong enough by default to deal with them

fallow falcon

8% elite won't really make a difference either though

restive slate

Which is why it's gonna be a hard pick

fallow falcon

I've already got a perfect rolled shredder, so maniac kills should be covered fine

#

Could go flak instead for that reason

sonic coral
#

... all you need are 4 stacks to clear a room w/ AB now

#

using warp unleashed

#

with 4 stacks do your F like usual, then up your peril (easiest with illisi)

#

it amps the tick damage enough to finish them

#

I suppose kinetic flayer isn't really worth the tradeoff still though

#

since 6 warp stacks + unleashed is exponentially better (literally) still

#

all the same, you could run this feat setup if you wanted an easier/more regular toughness boost with charges

#

thanks for attending my tedx

fierce sinew
#

quietude is juiced now, no need to nerf your damage for essence harvest

sonic coral
#

very true

cyan notch
#

yea more damage with warp battery is more damage

sonic coral
#

so is cerebral lacerations the ace level 15 pick now? or psykinetic's aura and just making sure to BB all the time instead of passive essence harvest

#

I guess AB means you're still getting 10% from staff kills

what Perks are good on the Deimos?

The same tier of Executor gives its max buff after one Weak hit

#

Elites include melee bois right?

#

Might as well cleave zerkers and ragers in the horde with illisis while u roll the specialists to something else

#

Cuz ain’t specialists like shotgunners and whatever

fierce sinew
crimson kiln
#

So it's 3% stacking up to 4/5 times?

fierce sinew
#

so it's roughly 4 times as good as the tooltip

#

yes

crimson kiln

I think I only ever saw the buff tick up to 4

#

at 100%

#

Hmm

subtle linden
#

I’d personally roll it to slaughterer

fierce sinew
#

you have a lower ceiling at the expense of less startup cost

crimson kiln
#

Guess I reblessed it too soon

#

This is where I'd put my slughterer, IF I HAD ONE

subtle linden
#

Even like slaughter 2-3 is better

fierce sinew
#

it's easy to have it stacked all the way up when you pull it out, unlike slaughterer/decimator/executor/etc

subtle linden
#

I was using it as a placeholder until I got a 4 in the Melky Milkers store

crimson kiln
#

Yea super easy to stay at 100% with the force sword

#

i wish blessing could cross weapons if they're exactly the same

fierce sinew
#

assuming you kept the shred you can always play around with different things in the other slot to see what you like while you wait for melk/lucky upgrade

crimson kiln
#

Like Savage Sweep has the same numbers for a lot of weapons so let it go to any weapon that uses the same X%'s

fierce sinew
#

I'd rather banking a blessing gave you every blessing with the same name even if they aren't the same tbh

crimson kiln
#

Yea might try out the Soulblaze on Crit blessing

subtle linden
#

This is mine and it slaps everything in the game ngl

crimson kiln
#

But to be fair, some weapons have slightly different blessings with same name for balance reasons, so I could cencede those

fierce sinew
#

would the world really stop turning if your force sword slaughterer unlocked power sword slaughterer and vice versa

crimson kiln
#

Booooooo

#

Stop being lucky

#

Dude the MkV slaps so hard. It's so much fun

subtle linden
#

Ya but I was using slaughter 2 for a while then shopped a 3

#

It was like going for super Saiyan to super saiyan 3

fierce sinew
#

I don't hate them balancing blessings differently between weapons, and there are good reasons for the pools to be different, it just seems like artificially extending an already annoying grind not to have them interunlockable

but maybe that's the point

crimson kiln

Oh it absolutely is

Should I reroll 8% elites or 8% specs? On Mk V Force

fierce sinew
#

I'm 3.5/5 the way though leveling a 5 psyker roster for more melk chances at specifically t4 warp nexus on purg

subtle linden
#

I would roll specialists since gunners and shit die in one shot anyway

True

Elites are ragers maulers crushers and bulwarks

specialist damage on that sword is really just bad maniac damage

Just slaughterer

so is there a good blazing spirit build yet?

crimson kiln
#

Or the +power based on peril if I get another

I think you're looking at it lol. All the crit chance and then talent to spread it

Should I take the BB soulblaze talent or the +damage based on peril talent?

I was running the BB soulblaze but now I'm doing +damage

I still need the monstrosity kill and the blowing myself up in a bunch of elites

in damnation your suicide bomb kills nothing

I actually did monstrosity penance yesterday 100% legit no cheese and I still don't have the explosion one

#

It's such a garbo penance lmao

#

If it did a little bit more damage so it reliably killed ragers, or had a couple more metres lethal range it would maybe be OK

#

But at the mo, if they're undamaged it'll only kill gunners and shotgunners and having 3 of those all together and not running away from you to shoot is rare

#

And thats assuming your team doesn't blap them before you spend 10 or so seconds exploding yourself

#

Or you go down before you explode

fierce sinew
#

monstro penance is realistic in clutch situations, suicide bomb is the only one I have left and I could see myself never getting

#

maybe private match it when/if we finally get that

kind jay
#

you already can

#

tho it needs 2 people minimum

fierce sinew
#

you can start a match with 3 bots?

#

that's what I mean, actual private match

kind jay
#

ah yeah

pearl lion
#

For monstro I was running a BB build and I just asked my team to let me try it. I was with two ogryns and one of them charged it a couple of times, but other than that I just solod it

kind jay
#

i dont get the reason for it. just fatshark things

pearl lion
#

The problem is that bots will still kill things

fierce sinew
#

it's pretty easy to get your bots killed off at the beginning of a map and never pick them up

pearl lion
#

Yeah true, its a pain though haha

#

I think how I'm going to wind up getting it is just repeatedly entering 3s and waiting for a starting horde, triggering it, letting the bots die and trying to bomb them while they're getting wailed on

fierce sinew
#

it's not that bad, especially if you're only planning to play far enough into a map to corner some ragers and surge them in place while you blow up or whatever

pearl lion
#

But that relies on a group of ragers being there and no one joining in the meantime

#

Oh thats a good shout actually. I should use surge

fierce sinew
#

people replacing the captive bots is definitely the bottleneck right now

pearl lion
#

Other than doing 1 more mission of SOME TYPE on 4, its the only penance I have left for cosmetics

fierce sinew
#

especially now with illisi executing the bomb itself is pretty straightforward, you can just surge->swap, charge a couple times while they're cc'd, repeat

pearl lion
#

That's what I've been doing

#

Using illisi at least

#

Spam charge

#

I should probably go with a low warp resistance weapon

#

I was SO close yesterday, but I charged it one too few times

#

I thought I had triggered perils but I hadn't

#

Only took out one rager

These are the only two orange relics I've had drop -_-

I helped a buddy blow up a bunch of dogs

fallow falcon
#

I've been enjoying Quicken but I'm finding that I hardly end up using the increased CD, its mainly just the convenience of 2 warp charges per BB

#

Any suggestion on improving this talent set?

pearl lion
#

I run toughness on warp kill (assuming you're using a staff), power for peril, move while venting, 6 charges and fast BB

#

Can't remember one of them

#

I think line 3?

fallow falcon
#

Also been using 2 HP curios and one with 3 stamina, not sure if the stamina is worth it though

pearl lion
#

Now that charges tick down rather than vanishing, I find it's pretty easy maintaining them

#

Force swords have pretty low stamina so I would probably recommend one stamina curio

#

If only for ressing

#

Also I use VS and Illisi so I can manage hordes and most specials and elites with them

#

And BB big bois

#

Peril -> power means you can two shot ogryns at 6 charges

#

And fast BB means you can do it in like 4 seconds

#

Oh this is on Heresy

#

Damnation youll have to ask someone else

fallow falcon
#

Pretty sure you can still 2 shot crushers with high peril on damnation

fierce sinew
#

you can

#

quicken is a meme still, pick either of the other two 30 feats, rest is fine

lethal quest
#

do you have tips for pick n mix penance please ?

pearl lion
#

The fast BB ultimate is required, I think I used peril resist rather than peril ->power talent so I could shoot more BBs off and then found a big group of gunners/shotgunners

#

6 charges will help make sure you kill your target

#

Remember that so long as you dont start at 100 you can do another BB, so vent down to like 95 then do it again

#

Try to be in an elevated position

#

If you do it with a group, having vet help you is great

#

Cause they can use their ult to highlight specials

Wildfire only spreads 4 stacks, so I guess you'd cap out putting 6 (or 8 with t4) stacks on an enemy.. that being said 8's nothing to shy off that's still like or 4 seconds of the staff burn. Could be a good secondary with enemies that rush you or if you get caught out.

Just tested the AOE FS with blazing+bloodthirsty

It spreads 4 stacks divided among 4 enemies

Because the special only hit once instead of multiple hits on the same target

If you're running purge then wildfire, anything else 6 stacks
