I hate my veteran.

eager token
#

director is on some shit today dude this was just hi int not even histg KEKW_ogryn

lethal lagoon
#

hi int is about the same as hi stg, no?

wind spruce
#

I mean, why would you think she's a vet main?

lethal lagoon
#

As long as it's on the auric board.

eager token
#

i figured histg had way more specials and elites

#

this was just regular damnation

wraith fable
lethal lagoon
#

I think people forget that Hi int was supposed to be hard

wraith fable
#

Is what I meant.

eager token
lethal lagoon
#

I still remember on release how crazy 5s were to pub.

#

Now it's

wraith fable
#

I feel like any time I see a knife zealot I'm about to die and watch them solo the map or they get killed repeatedly.

lethal lagoon
#

There's a 97.3, repeating of course, chance that they run ahead, get netted, blame you, and then leave.

eager token
#

i get netted on purpose for the challenge

lethal lagoon
#

That's a good way of being mentally challenged for sure.

eager token
wind spruce
wraith fable
#

I do. That's why I have an alcohol addiction.

lyric burrow
#

although i was also bad so harder to tell

lethal lagoon
#

I never did pre-mades on release, also didn't have scoreboard until I was good enough to basically always be 1st.

#

So I really don't know.

lyric burrow
#

i did pubs for the first like 700-800 hours mainly id say

lethal lagoon
#

In my memory, ranged mobs were so much bigger of a threat.

lyric burrow
#

last 800 have been with friends much more

lethal lagoon
#

And then when I came back just before the update, they were meh.

wind spruce
lyric burrow
#

ranged units did do more before yeah

lethal lagoon
#

It doesn't!

#

There is only speed

wraith fable
lethal lagoon
#

Speed of decay, speed entrophy.

wind spruce
#

How quickly can you fill up a bar?

Depends if your mums there

lethal lagoon
#

Yeah the game was way easier after patch 13(talent tree rework)

lyric burrow
#

yeah before shooters were a real threat and we had less options to deal with

#

your good guns were autopistol and bolter

lethal lagoon
#

OH, you mean the recent shooter buff

analog agate
#

Yeah, pre patch 13 darktide is harder. Even though it didn’t throw nearly as much shit at you.

wraith fable
lethal lagoon
#

Yeah, ranged mobs were still more of a threat on release.

lyric burrow
#

psykers best melee was
Combat axe
huge gap
obscurus :(

lethal lagoon
#

It was so bad, that people thought you HAD to run sheild on Ogryn.

#

Like there was no other option

lyric burrow
#

illisi and deimos when they dropped

wind spruce
#

We had no toughness regen then, too

lethal lagoon
#

That was of course bait, but that's what a lot of people thought

lyric burrow
#

i used pre patch void soley for shooters

wraith fable
lethal lagoon
#

Nope, kicked.

wind spruce
lyric burrow
#

same it was my most used staff

lethal lagoon
#

I loved pre-patch void, it made me feel like a mage god. And then I did t5 and was like "WTF is this staff"

#

And never used it again till the buff.

wind spruce
#

I had an epic rapid fire macro for it

lyric burrow
#

it was also nice cause i wasnt comfortable in melee yet and i got range still

#

however its cleave was based on uh

#

server ping

#

usually it was like 6

#

or not 6 cleave

#

you could kill 6 poxwalkers

lethal lagoon
#

All of void's BPs in my opinion were perfect for t4 and fell off super hard on t5 on release.

#

It felt bad to use

lyric burrow
#

it was made a REALLY loud noise when you hit heads and it was funny

#

gone now

lethal lagoon
#

Void made you deaf, surge made you blind

#

That surge bug was unironically wild.

lyric burrow
#

the smite one?

#

or are you talking from before

lethal lagoon
#

release surge bug

#

It straight up cause eye damage

#

It wasn't exactly on release

#

maybe like a few weeks after, Random update just completely fucked up surge.

#

Even now it's still kinda brutal in foggy areas.

lyric burrow
#

i may have missed that one, i played a little after release but not much

#

i didnt get really into the game until like feb

#

2023

#

maybe late Jan

#

so i saw most of the boomer DT stuff but not all of it

#

i do remember i had the ogryn beta helmet on vet for as long as FS allowed me

wind spruce
lyric burrow
#

i liked it more than the new one

#

it felt like i was obliterating those guys

#

the new one makes more sense

#

but man it was like the helmets shattered

wind spruce
#

Amazingly visceral

#

Man ima try find a video of it

supple dock
#

the one game with skudi I've had was fucking hilarious

#

3 of us fell off the ledge during the same period of time to entirely different circumstances

lyric burrow
#

im glad i experienced old DT despite it being a significantly worse game

supple dock
#

we died

lyric burrow
#

i think i played with skudie once back when they were level 2000

#

or so

wraith fable
clear bridge
#

Wait- Voidstrike made a better sound hitting heads in the past???

#

It already sounds so peak tho

#

Wtf

barren arch
#

so I'm curious as to a talent interaction - does Empowered Psionics amplify the 'free' BB you get from Kinetic Flayer?

wraith fable
#

Do you all run three toughness curios on psyker? I've been doing two toughness one health to prevent me being so squishy. But with edging and having one with the warp I guess three toughness might be better?

wraith fable
wind spruce
lethal lagoon
#

I like three toughness because I play off 50% of the time

#

And just rush froward

wind spruce
#

I run three toughness on gunker

lethal lagoon
#

See even I type brain off

wind spruce
#

Because I have spare points for toughness nodes, amplifying the benefit

lethal lagoon
#

Oh, I thought that was a comment on mettle

wind spruce
lethal lagoon
#

Yeah, if I didn't have spidey sense to counter bugged poxbursters, I don't think I'd run three toughness.

#

I'd either run 3 HP or just rage quit the game.

#

Dying to bugs(completely silent poxburster) drives me insane

wind spruce
#

Running +78% health is pretty funny ngl.

#

It feels so wrong having that much health on psyker

potent echo
#

I just had tzeentch trapper destroy me, kill one but there was another inside, punish for using Agrivolvo 😔

wraith fable
eager token
#

open your third eye siblings

potent echo
#

Its clenched

steel flame
#

ya know, i gotta say, if fatshark fixes the boltpistols eratic ads twitching, bleed bolter pistol is the new best sciers gaze gunker weapon

#

the fact that the bleed isnt based on critting AND hit in an aoe

#

its an actual straight upgrade to laspistol infernus

#

bleed is also a way better dot too

#

and its cap is 16 instead of the lame 12 fire stacks infernus gives

steel flame
#

aoe as in the bolter aoe adds bleed to everything in the aoe

hardy raft
#

i dont think thats the case?

#

was that fixed?

patent jacinth
#

Puncture only works on direct hits

hardy raft
#

if it did everyone 1ould pick it

#

and itd be p funny on vet

patent jacinth
#

I did hear about puncture having an interaction with assail though

hardy raft
#

pocket 88 rounds of free frag nades

#

with vet, 108

patent jacinth
hardy raft
#

dump buncha rounds into a horde and get a knife and start slashing

#

get uncanny and melt everyone with uncanny stacks kek

steel flame
hardy raft
#

it used to work on beta last i heard

#

then it was nerfed to oblivion

steel flame
#

still the bleed is fucking nuts with all the damage buffs scriers and high peril give

wind spruce
#

assail applies bleed if you weapon switch midflight

wind spruce
hardy raft
#

idk most, we use lqcerate knife afterall kek

wide maple
#

One last penance to go for

#

Gonna need a team for malleus monstrum

wind spruce
#

But seriously, knife has lower damage per hit and can cleave. Most targets are going to be dead before the bolt pistol applies a meaningful amount of bleed

#

So, it might finish a few enemies off if you double body shot, but it's mostly only going to be good against unyielding and maulers

hardy raft
#

bleed acts as a "i dont strictly care for breakpoints" and i think the guy who wrote psyker guide had some interesting breakpoints on psyker with the bleed? not sure if i would pick it tbh

#

its still quite... unique, so to speak

#

possibly better than infernus cause it stacks better and is guaranteed

wind spruce
#

Still can't believe this was the third bolt pistol I consecrated

#

@near wyvern the boltgun I've just shown cannot one shot a dreg gunner to the head with six warp charges and the 5% damage node

upper sun
wind spruce
upper sun
#

i'm pretty sure the devs never tested it outside of malice things way undertuned

upper sun
wind spruce
# upper sun did you try unarmored yet?

No, because he recommends maniac and flak for breakpoints (and he's right). Unarmoured would only help against that one enemy since you one shot all trash

ornate hamlet
wind spruce
ornate hamlet
#

Yup.

wind spruce
#

Mine looks strictly better

cosmic sigil
#

I'd rather have surgical

ornate hamlet
#

The boltgun is too unreliable for using it like a revolver. It's an AOE stagger for people who like to run down enemies with melee (i.e. boltgun is a suppression weapon.)

wind spruce
#

I'm not here trying to say what's best

#

I'm literally just looking at the atheneum and testing what pygex has said

#

And, frankly, trying to disprove his whole "warp battery is mandatory" thing

cosmic sigil
ornate hamlet
#

A lot of people say its accuracy because pre and post fire recoil is insane.

cosmic sigil
cosmic sigil
wind spruce
cosmic sigil
#

The one from Pygex?

wind spruce
#

Yes

#

It's incorrect regarding dreg gunners

brazen warren
#

bolt pistol rotation I use is ads, shoot, hip fire, repeat

#

stutter stepping to maintain accuracy

#

body shots mostly though

viscid matrix
wind spruce
wind spruce
#

@near wyvern you also state in your section regarding skullcrusher on power mauls that it "requires you to first stagger an enemy and then hit a staggered enemy so the bonus starts from the third hit onwards," but SC stacks are applied on the first hit and the bonus on the second hit (assuming they are still staggered)

potent echo
#

If you have debuff indicator it's very you can see the stacks

wind spruce
#

I tested it in game just to see if it wasnt the psykhanium being wonky

viscid matrix
brazen rampart
#

What blessings should I want on a surge staff?

#

I'm assuming warp nexus and warp flurry.

restive ice
#

join us terrifying barrage chads

marble crater
#

Nexus and Flurry, yes

brazen rampart
#

Nice. I have one with both at t3.

#

Now, perks...

#

Unarmored maniac?

untold niche
#

whats the est date for crafting update?

brazen rampart
#

After summer... I would say like October/November?

untold niche
brazen rampart

I'm gonna hold off on tweaking perks until I get an answer back, I don't have the plasteel to experiment...

Guys quick question. What do I want on my dueling sword in terms of perk?

if youre running DD (especially with scriers) you dont really need maniac

upper sun
#

i hate seeing it so fucking much

hardy raft
#

i wanna use it tbh

#

seems fun

upper sun
#

no

#

banned

#

i hope the dev who made that blessing has his pillows always be soggy

hardy raft
#

why it stuns every shooter around aaid vicinity whatthefuck_heresy

upper sun
#

and warm both in the summer and winter

hardy raft
#

for like 1 nanosecond

upper sun
#

staregryn everything already stuns everything

hardy raft
#

no it doesnt

#

point towards autopistol

upper sun
#

autopistol isnt a real weapon

hardy raft
#

tbh powderburn is a better terrifying barrage if i ever saw one

upper sun
#

ye

hardy raft
#

i wish powderburn was actually on a weapon that had supression

#

like shotguns

upper sun
#

melks a realone i got that blessing despite never having used an auto pistol once

hardy raft
#

i like the concept

upper sun
#

i cant wait to use it when its cheap to build KEKW_ogryn

hardy raft
#

too bad even with innate buffs its supression never reaches desired out omes

upper sun
#

itll prolly get buffed soon

hardy raft
#

i have a terrifying barrage+powderburn build

upper sun
#

its like the only remaining meh weapon

hardy raft
upper sun
#

the gun

hardy raft
#

true the bolter did get buffed

upper sun
#

and bolter wasnt even that bad

hardy raft
#

and since boltpistol has its niche autopistol is still the kekiest weapon

upper sun
#

idk who it even works on

#

zealot dance of death?

hardy raft
#

it works on anything really

#

just not on flaks

#

melts maniacs

i rolled like 2 then gave up

hardy raft

why

#

probably the modt fun weapon

upper sun

idk they were just okay for me

#

i have ds4 illisi and deimos for psyker

hardy raft
#

you dont like parries?

upper sun
#

for zealot i have evi15 crusher and hammer

upper sun
#

feels like a bad habbit to have

#

i see overhead i dodge or if im ongryn is tagger

#

stagger

#

i dont wanna pick up a weapon thatll make me play everything else worse

#

ill try them again after crafting tbh

#

yeah theyre just BEGGING to be rolled

Only 29 more missions and all my psyker penances are complete.

upper sun
#

what is taking this long

brazen rampart
#

?

#

Just lifeleech.

#

Yknow, the "complete missions" penance.

#

I have the 4th and 5th tiers left and then I'm done with psyker.

upper sun
#

ah

#

i thought playing auric counted for all tiers

brazen rampart
#

No, no. That's not the "complete mission types" penance.

#

It's just "complete missions."

#

I already have the mission types one done.

upper sun
#

staregryn Idk what penance you are talking about but i wish you a speedy resolve

brazen rampart
#

The one you're thinking of is touch the void.

#

The one I still need to do is lifeleech.

#

It's literally just "complete missions" to finish it.

#

I'm at 71/100 on it atm.

upper sun
#

ah

#

its just do missions

#

you never played psyker before huh

brazen rampart
#

No I played the hell out of psyker before the penance rework.

#

I had most of my penances already done.

upper sun
#

🤔

#

i dont remember having to do it

brazen rampart
#

I just main zealout now.

#

You can also complete penances without completing a mission.

#

And... I used to not be too good at this game.

wind spruce
#

Just did melee maelstrom with Rat and another really good psyker... and goddamn it multiple good psykers really suck the fun out of that modifier

devout sluice
#

This is the psyker chat

upper sun

I like 50 to 60 ish. Give around 15% peril per special.

plucky flax
#

Hey not everyone play like top 1%er.

upper sun
#

technically were all 1% since there's no offical scoreboard chadgryn

plucky flax

I have actual proof. A random guy told me in a game. whatthefuck_heresy

upper sun

one guy told me i was good once 😭

its because i kept precharging BB and cucking an ogryn out of rock kills KEKW_ogryn

Nice aim on the trapper

t-thanks

(thats why i dont play knives)

rich jolt
#

Knives feel impossible to use on controller

#

The fact its bound to arrows and throws immediately makes me want to yank my hair out

upper sun
#

ye also picking knives would let me save a point on that build

#

arrows?

#

its the same as grenades

rich jolt
#

Yeah

#

But grenades don't throw immediately

#

It wouldn't be an issue if i could take one out and then aim

upper sun
#

yeah whats even worse is rocks

#

underhand is two clicks

#

overhand is click and release

rich jolt

I personally never had an issue with rocks

They can be finicky but they feel fine to use

and consoles don't even come close

Question about overpowering souls...
Who is elite?

marble crater
#

Shotgunners, Gunners, Ragers, Maulers, all Ogryns

pine brook
#

Hmmm....

rich jolt
#

(Except plague ogryns)

pine brook
#

I reading build with smite... isnt Bio-Lodestone is better with Smite than Overpowering soul? You gain stucks of emproved psionics when YOU kill, and smite does weak damage to elites...

marble crater
#

Getting it from elites is a 100% chance and you don't have to kill them with Smite

#

And EP Smite with Shriek deals enough damage to kill ragers

upper sun
#

flamers, snipers, dogs, muties, trappers, bombers are specialists (they go to school for that)

marble crater
#

They are also the guys who can already patrol and walk around the map, specials always need to spawn first and won't be waiting around the corner for you

potent echo
#

Elites are the enemies that don't make the obnoxious spawning sounds

wind wadi
#

all of the specials are standing in a single group in the meat grinder

upper sun
wind wadi
#

elites are ragers, maulers, gunners, and the big boys

#

and shotgunners

marble crater
wind wadi
#

yeah you can hear them running around and see their laser sights. they only make a spawning noise on vent purge missions when a cluster of them spawns

upper sun
pine brook
#

So, with Smite, Guaranteed Stucks on elite kill is better than +5% (to 7.5% = 12.5) for every kill?

potent echo
#

i prefer elite kills

#

take gun and shoot you get stacks

#

if you cant get elite kills then probably the other option would be better

languid pasture
#

there's a staff in melks shop that has run n gun

#

didn't know they could roll that and im so tempted

marble crater
#

If you didn't know they can roll that you are either really lucky or very new to psyker

brazen rampart
#

So you could run, say, a revolver on your smite build and use that to get stacks of EP, then use smites on hordes/gangs of elites.

#

I say a revolver because that's the be-all end-all of elite hunting across the non ogryn classes.

hardy raft
#

guaranteed stacks also still have the 7.5% chance

upper sun
hardy raft
#

if runngun buffed damage while stationary

#

it would be good

upper sun
#

what if run n gun damage was close range damage and happened regardless of sprinting?

hardy raft
#

it is close range damage and latter part should be case 4bh

upper sun
#

i like them rebalancing t3 blessings and adding numbers to them

#

but some shit doesnt do anything

hardy raft
#

its for itemization

#

its gonna have that stat

upper sun
#

like perfect strike crit damage on fucking ogryn of all classes

hardy raft
#

its crit chance on code btw

upper sun
hardy raft
#

fatshark whatthefuck_heresy

#

ok thats fine tbh

hardy raft
#

have you believed bahaj

upper sun
#

wait staregryn

#

does perfect strike on zealot get crit chance too

hardy raft
#

yes

upper sun
#

hell yeah

crit cdr is kinda ded rn tho

my crit chance shred perfect strike evi15 is gonna SHRED

its broken?

i didnt even realize it was supposed to give something else lmao

fatshark did fatshank and missed the locals

It should give crit chance now, after the patch

man imagine how disgusting weapons would be with blaze away 4

and blazing spirit 4

hardy raft
#

so

#

nothing really

#

we had em

upper sun
#

sooo

#

buffed back to where it was?

hardy raft
#

yes

upper sun
#

i mean idk if could even notice the difference between blaze away before and after the nerf

hardy raft
#

least the flechette nerf and stats suggest that

upper sun
#

i use it on kickback so i never really get to 5 stacks anyways so eh

hardy raft
#

why u use it on there

upper sun
#

blaze away?

#

its great on kickback

#

besides that kickback doesnt have very many good blessings

#

full bore? spread too far away

#

Not for Invocation of Death KEKyou

upper sun
#

🙄

#

zealot only has one keystone marty

haughty star
#

Marty's kind of a meme momentum don't do enough

rich jolt
#

Wild

haughty star
#

Marty takes away far too much durability for me

#

Not only does it remove one or more defensive curios but it also encourages you to be even closer to death

rich jolt
#

If youre having a hard time staying alive with marty thats a skissue

#

Marty has insane survivability

#

Its literally the survivability keystone

haughty star
#

How is it for survivability again?

rich jolt
#

Great

haughty star
#

No like how? I'm asking what your logic behind your statement is lol

rich jolt
#

Oh lol

#

Imma be typing for a bit gimme a sec

haughty star
#

Does literally nothing for survivability from what I can gather. As far as survivability goes blazing would likely be the pick for all the survivability crit chance stuff it helps proc

rich jolt
#

I shall not fall makes it harder for enemies to break through toughness as you get hurt and bleed for the emperor reduces damage by 40% if it would bring you down to another wound

#

Which is obviously great with how many you have

hardy raft
#

bonus points for second wind cause thats pretty busted all things considered

rich jolt
#

I honestly have the best survival rate using marty

#

Probably only beat by voc

#

But voc is voc

#

Sooooo

#

To be expected

haughty star
#

I just don't see it. You can have all those aforementioned things while using a keystone that allows you to keep all your defensive curios up like momentum or piety

#

And 25 crit chance is no laughable matter either for damage

rich jolt
#

Marty survivability is just better?

#

Also its not like you arent getting damage using marty

#

You get attack speed and damage the more health you lose

haughty star
#

That's the only thing it does lol it does nothing for survivability but increase dps

#

Unless you big stupid and take the toughness reduction but meh

rich jolt
#

I literally just stated how it increases survival

hardy raft
#

thats with freshly restored revanant stacks

#

usually gets you in 5 stacks of marty

#

with fotf and the previous +10% attack speed node you attack 50% faster

rich jolt
#

I can link you my marty build if you want BAZ

hardy raft
#

vet can expect up to 25%

#

they also have a thing called a power sword

#

but you get what i mean

hardy raft
#

is more to make up for the lack of survival

#

rather than

#

actual survival

#

so ye

rich jolt
#

Wdym?

haughty star
#

Honestly lacerate has made about the only real point here, increasing survivability via dps. I just find a good piety build to be much more tanky and reliable. With Marty you do just go down easier when you screw up and relying on teammates to help you utilize the extra wounds is tough

rich jolt
#

Please tell me

#

What piety node gives you survivability

#

Am i going fucking insane

haughty star
#

The fact that it doesn't make you take away defensive curios for it to be effective

upper sun
#

i ususally play with 2 or 3

rich jolt
#

Theres nothing worth saying here anymore

#

Im out

haughty star
hardy raft
#

second wind, good balance, duelist

#

all procs on dodging

#

dont mind the actually dodge to increase stat on judgement

#

but usually "not getting hit" can be achieved, least in melee for zealot

#

the other problem of going melee is that you being physically oppressed by everyone in the room

#

which marty just can clear right off

#

however, it shows its weakness to shooters/gunners/shotguners and etc due to the limited toughness count

#

even with every toughness resistance on the bag you cant tank yourself

#

gunners are a priority otherwise it shreds you

#

any mishit wombo combo 2 guys hitting you at once is devastating for marty

haughty star
#

Yes but when one ill timed reaper can mow you down it's hard to call it tanky. Screw ups happen and it's nice to have some actual beef there to absorb the flak sometimes. I ran Marty alot but with the crits and the ability to retain defensive curios I just find piety to be a safer play

#

Sorry I was typing that before your last 3 points there lol

hardy raft
#

iirc someone runs a "modified" marty build with 1 less wound and a toughness curio in its place, and can achieve 175 toughness

#

tried it, didnt like it that much

#

but you can build it to a "reasonable" level of defense

#

its point taxxing though since you need to grab a extra +15 toughness node

haughty star
#

Yeah idk I just find the piety to be much safer and unless you're like 4 wounds down it's not really lacking in dps once you get piety rolling

#

Just getting it rolling is the only rough part but 25 enemies dying is nothing to a zealot and they don't even have to be killed by you

hardy raft
#

imho marty gets its strength cause it just plays damn well with how revanant works

haughty star
#

I could see that. I run rev and until on my piety as well. Regardless of skill issues it's just a literal no brainer to have because it's so cracked

hardy raft
#

rev is basically goto on any zealot build anyway

#

you can skip it but what does that make you

#

melee vet? kek

#

i know its different but point im making is that revanant makes zealot waaaay more unique

haughty star
#

Lol I would really like to run immolations but can't stand the point investment for them

#

And the knives have kind of a punctual "stfu" feel when you peg a Gunner in the face with it or some shit lol

hardy raft
#

thats what i do

#

imho the top 2 nodes for immo is a must have anyway

#

if i only get backstabber for more damage on certain situations, i actually shave off a point

haughty star
#

Problem is I really enjoy scourge and 2nd wind

hardy raft
#

ye

haughty star
#

Basically I enjoy everything on the way to knives, I enjoy one thing on the way to immo PepeKMS

hardy raft
#

is pretty good

#

for replacement

#

but it doesnt help much on diving

haughty star
#

I only play with mk15 evis rn tho so basically I AM a immolation grenade

hardy raft
#

immo is better for obv reasons

buoyant maple
#

CDR is another but it's less of a problem when martyr puts out so much dmg so quickly

hardy raft
#

cdr is definitely a problem

haughty star
#

And survivability curios not being a thing

hardy raft
#

but after invoc nerf ehhh

buoyant maple
#

the only thing u rly miss out on is toughness

haughty star
#

Wounds don't count as survivability lol

hardy raft
#

whats the build hmmm

buoyant maple
#

ofc u can be a chad and skip both of those and take throwing knives

haughty star
haughty star
buoyant maple
#

or hit & run

#

hit & run got buffed it's pretty nice

hardy raft
#

and least i do

buoyant maple
#

lower toughness is a downside but not one that's entirely dealbreaker

haughty star
#

That's getting pretty darn niche specific lol

hardy raft
#

i dont think the 40% DR is worth it

#

what hit&run got buffed also?

#

seeing some 1.0 second on t4 still

buoyant maple
#

meaning u activate it more frequently

#

not uncommon for martyr to run smth like braced auto/laspistol tbh

hardy raft
#

ah right

#

never seen that tbh we just go for all damage

#

and deal with consequences later

buoyant maple
hardy raft
#

then why the top left nodes?

haughty star
#

I mean it's a hard call for me but generally I find piety to be much more forgiving and overall more useful. Don't get me wrong Marty is fun as hell but piety just more reliable for me

buoyant maple
hardy raft
#

the heavy attack toughness?

buoyant maple
haughty star
buoyant maple
#

because u can get hit to lose a wound, then restoring faith heals 25% and sends it over that wound threshold

#

so ur back on 2 wounds

hardy raft
#

i dont think we ever like that cause "oh it makes my hp back up losing my stacks"

buoyant maple
#

so u can activate the 40% health DR again for that wound

buoyant maple
hardy raft
#

teeth

#

smh

#

i think the only bp we care about is rashad

buoyant maple
#

I don't think u guys know every breakpoint on rashad

hardy raft
#

we dont

#

we def dont

#

cause we use flak unarmored

buoyant maple
#

flak not necessary

#

unarmored is only for veteran

#

2nd best +dmg perk for veteran rashad is carapace

#

3 hit mauler & crusher

#

2 if 1 crit

hardy raft
#

its also recommended for zealot to not rely on HT stacks p sure

#

not that i care about, i want ragers dead

buoyant maple
#

it's not even hard to keep it up

#

do u guys like, just swing forever and never block/push

hardy raft
#

irritated by first hit getting eaten i supose

buoyant maple
#

no but like

#

ur first strike vs ragers normally is PA

hardy raft
hardy raft
#

ye

#

i still put on maniac on my zealot

#

get irritated by mass groups of them

#

not the recommended stuff on our end tho

buoyant maple
#

maniac for zealot rashad can 2 hit dreg ragers with martyr stacks

#

not very far off

#

u need like 2 or 3 stacks? smth like that

#

prob 2

hardy raft
#

ye which is why i use it

#

again, not consensus here

buoyant maple
#

the only enemy u might want high martyr stacks for on rashad is crusher

#

but martyr rashad usually takes carapace

hardy raft
#

its usualyl unarmored/flak for oneshotting every lesser enemy on the map without HT

hardy raft
#

dumps a boss tho

buoyant maple
#

so it's in reality just under veteran rashad's dmg but with way faster atk speed

hardy raft
#

right vet gets free 35% on crusher

#

still not sure about my

#

68 finesse rashad on vet

#

its been doing me good but without desparato it freq fauls to oneshot stuff at times

Oh crap right they have more HP did I have +unarmoured on mine as well?

Welp, gotta fix the entry today, BiS perks are then +maniac +unarmoured since with Execution you can meet the flak break points without flak

I play flak maniac with rashad/antax on zealot using martyrdom.

I actially dont know about lightning storm. Cause f that ability

haughty star
#

There was a bunch of testing by @spice veldt and pygex a long time ago

Not sure if it actually applies anymore but back when I first started psyker the tested values were augments only worked on lmb

lethal lagoon

It was an old myth someone spread and then everyone believed and spread

near wyvern
#

Lighting storm does increase the speed and amount of enemies caught by RMB but it's insignificant

lethal lagoon
#

Basically our version of "You eat 8 spiders a year"

#

No, it's very sigifcant, it just will likely never apply in an actual game.

near wyvern
#

Enfeeble works but is only moderately worth it if you play EP smite

#

Outside of that it's not worth picking

lethal lagoon
#

Without +1 jump you get like 100 enemies. With it, well, when are there are more than 100 enemies within range of each other.

#

Really, the potential for it to hook around you is something to consider. But unless you are running a smite focused EP smite shriek build, it's pointless.

Started picking bubble, so I can climb where melee enemies can't hit me and to 360° protection against ranged

lethal lagoon
#

That's why I said it's "free nowadays"

long wharf
#

I've started using the barrier instead of bubble

#

as it's too good at blocking shots that were never going to hit the group

brazen rampart
#

Yeah but bubble is also free toughness regen...

long wharf
#

I've found that you either never notice it because you're taking 0 damage and don't need it, or you never notice it because getting hit strips most if not all your toughness anyways

#

the slight toughness regen isn't going to save your life against an enemy

#

where as the barrier is going to physically block specialists

#

now, where the bubble shines is shutting down projectile-based attacks, such as beast of nurgle

#

bomber isn't going to be able to drop a grenade at your feet inside the bubble

#

etc.

jovial juniper

You can use barrier to free an ally from muties/dog grab

yes, but that sounds like a waste of a barrier

you can just kill muties and dogs
