You need speed when you're moving between targets, not when the targets are literally everywhere

prime elk
#

I guess we play differently then thumbsup_ogryn

nocturne dust
#

As a bible thumper, can't relate

ripe obsidian
#

I've not been able to decide if I like VI or VIII better.

clear heath
#

or i guess you could replace wrath anyways if not doing havoc
cleave only becomes an issue there anyways

lost harbor
#

I'm using deflector and shred, those don't combine well?

prime elk
clear heath
prime elk
#

FGS has a lot of good combos

thorn cedar
#

zealot is not faster unless were talking both classes outside of combat sprinting across a room

nocturne dust
lost harbor
prime elk
clear heath
#

depends

nocturne dust
prime elk
#

But it would be funny

#

Very funny

nocturne dust
#

Staffker sure

#

although I disagree with the 'overtuned' language, they are in a good place and need no adjustment

#

but Meleeker/Gunker? Eeeeeehhhhh

clear heath
#

if you're just during auric dmanation, you don't need wrath at all.
If you're doing high havoc, you need some sort of cleave increase, like wrath or warp splitting in the tree

radiant ice
clear heath
#

or i guess you don't, if you're using a staff for hordes

prime elk
#

Nah the class as a whole but yes especially staffker

clear heath
#

whether you need wrath is pretty build/situation dependant

nocturne dust
#

I disagree pretty hard

prime elk
#

There’s a reason I don’t do staffker anymore

nocturne dust
#

I don't hate meleeker, but I think speed is exactly what they need more of and I don't think it would be OP

radiant ice
#

This always happens when someone discovers a glass cannon and see it played by someone who can keep themselves alive, in any game

thorn cedar
#

i think youre wrong as fuck but alright

prime elk
#

Gonna be hard to buff just bonkers tbh

#

But even with fgs i think melee speed is fine if going full right side

#

As you should KEKW_ogryn

nocturne dust
bitter escarp
#

Bonkers KEKW_ogryn

nocturne dust
#

You need speed to get to the targets

#

You don't need speed when you're at the targets

spice veldt
#

is it out of combat to be reaching targets

#

what

thorn cedar
#

but warp speed is bad huh

clear heath
#

there's never actually that much space between targets though

lost harbor
clear heath
#

there's usually something to hit

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

mettle is 15% pretty much perma in combat of any kind, 20% in bursts from DD, 20% from scriers

radiant ice
thorn cedar
#

psyker is beyond fast

#

zealot might be able to be consistently "fast" but is nowhere near as fast

nocturne dust
#

Psyker's peak is higher, sure

#

but they're very rarely at that peak

thorn cedar
#

its a very easy to maintain peak

clear heath
# lost harbor I'm going scrier's gaze, so no staff

for a build like that, you can probably try just taking warp splitting in tree and see how it goes without wrath.
If you ever have trouble with it not hitting through enough enemies, just remember wrath as an option

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

you're just not very good at it

nocturne dust
#

You're telling me DD's speed is 'very easy to maintain'?

thorn cedar
#

yes

nocturne dust
#

2.5s to find a new target every single time?

#

Bruh, you're crazy

thorn cedar
#

youre talking to the guy who uses perfectionist

nocturne dust
#

You must also use precog

clear heath
#

there is usually not that much time spent sprinting towards a target

#

there are enemies everywhere

nocturne dust
#

Right, but then you also have to crit

prime elk
#

The only thing that can match it is Fury

main wyvern
#

Chat I made the best build ever

prime elk
#

But that’s a single burst

nocturne dust
#

and Warp Speed is very often not active because of how it works, even with Crack of Bone. Only TtS can keep up with Scrier's, and you have to be magdumping for that

thorn cedar
#

zealot with all move speed nodes + swift certainty gets you 6u/s speed

prime elk
#

Nah you can keep it up for a very long time

thorn cedar
#

which is .1 units faster than base psyker with a combat knife

#

obviously not bad at all, and i am not even including any weapon speed bonuses

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

but we have 5.25u/s base if you pick the move speed node in the tree, and then we start applying the rest

prime elk
#

And you’re still getting 40% speed boost from other sources while in combat

#

Even if warp speed isn’t up

thorn cedar
#

you are already faster than the zealot with just warp speed

#

6.3u/s

#

if we want to be generous and give zealot TWBS and pretend it was always active, that's still 'only' 7.15u/s

nocturne dust
#

My issue isn't the amount of speed, my issue remains the uptime of it

thorn cedar
#

and i say only because psyker hits 8.4u/s

#

again this is before any weapon

#

if you cant get shit done

prime elk
#

It’s up when you need it, and not up when you don’t need it. I really don’t see issues here

thorn cedar
#

at these speeds

#

then i dont know what to say other than the shit just isnt for you

nocturne dust
#

🤷‍♂️

#

You don't need it when you have targets galore

prime elk
#

It’s ok man. Stick with staffker.

thorn cedar
#

but you need it to get to targets

#

but its bad because you cant

#

but you dont need it because targets galore

nocturne dust
#

You do need it when you're closing gaps and running across a field to hit enemies with your sword

nocturne dust
prime elk
#

Just stick with staffker. Bonker isn’t for everyone.

nocturne dust
#

Bruh, I may prefer staffker but I'm not a slouch with meleeker

#

It just could be... y'know, not problematic in the way that it is

prime elk
zinc phoenix
#

behold

clear heath
#

nice

zinc phoenix
#

i like the idea of carapace on it, i bonk a lot of heavy stuff

jaunty tiger
thorn cedar
#

even without

jaunty tiger
#

Man

thorn cedar
#

just mettle and the one move speed node makes you fast

jaunty tiger
#

Is it because I'm using fgs

clear heath
zinc phoenix
#

psyker with dd/sg: blazin
psyker with ds: ok
psyker with staff: 💀

prime elk
#

Hehe

jaunty tiger
#

I feel slow as shit staregryn

thorn cedar
#

sword is our slowest weapon

nocturne dust
#

FGS is very slow

#

😔

clear heath
#

unyielding cara is the general recommendation for fgs

zinc phoenix
#

not flak?

#

i feel like i hate flak so much

clear heath
#

i'm personally trying elites unyielding. can't tell if it's better or worse cause breakpoint testing for havoc is nonexistent

nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

Then do flak. Best perk is against what you hate most. thumbsup_ogryn

prime elk
prime elk
#

EE is one second and easily sustained on the right build

thorn cedar
#

four seconds to land another crit on the crittiest class in the game

#

however can one achieve this

prime elk
clear heath
#

also yes that stagger is insane

nocturne dust
#

It's on crit. Which can be trivial... if you stack a ton of crit, but I'm literally in Psykh and just watched it expire while smacking a Chaos Spawn on a shred weapon whatthefuck_heresy

#

at 37.5% crit

zinc phoenix
#

mk8 is a lot of fun but hurting my hand some so back to mk6

thorn cedar
clear heath
#

the projectile has the stagger though, not the blade itself, so you have to a little bit of distance

#

usually a non-issue

prime elk
thorn cedar
#

it was already ruined

split lance
strong gulch
#

If FGS wasn't my monster damage, I'd put cara and elites on it.

Sometimes you gotta stab orgyn enemies.

jaunty tiger
#

When the door opens

strong gulch
#

We need a chef's kiss emoji

zinc phoenix
#

it ends badly a decent amount of the time but who cares its so fun

strong gulch
#

Luckily, FGS bashes crushers good.

clear heath
#

fgs has so much range that it's still kinda safe

#

make use of that 5 meters of range

nocturne dust
jaunty tiger
#

I've seen clips of that one wiping out an entire team

#

How often do crushers kill 4 people at once

empty agate
strong gulch
radiant ice
#

I'm free for a while too atm whenever you are

strong gulch
bitter escarp
#

One swing, four pankarks

nocturne dust
midnight cove
#

barrels are the worst

jaunty tiger
#

What would you rather do, walk along a narrow walkway with 100 barrels with your team or fight 100 crushers

#

I'll fight 100 crushers personally

nocturne dust
#

Idk how you can call mettle a consistent buff if isn't even consistent enough to stick around on a shred weapon constantly attacking

thorn cedar
#

the slowest weapon we have

#

and the slowest attack

strong gulch
#

Not saying to ignore barrels. Just that example happens more.

Edit: Specifically in our team.

nocturne dust
#

FGS is not that slow

#

and plus, I've got shred on it which isn't always the case

thorn cedar
#

sure, equip the illisi and get back to me

nocturne dust
#

I could switch to DS, which doesn't have shred

#

also also

#

this is with lightning speed too

jaunty tiger
#

I have to agree that critting once every 4 second is not hard if you get crit on the tree

#

EE needs once every second

thorn cedar
#

once every four seconds is farcical

jaunty tiger
#

And you can maintain that perma on some builds

nocturne dust
#

It still expires even spamming lights KEKW_ogryn

#

It turns out

#

not having +20% crit

#

much more important

#

Lol, it expires more often than shred FGS

thorn cedar
#

breaking news: man discovers having crit crucial in maintaining crit-triggered buffs and their uptime

nocturne dust
#

I'm on a crit build

bitter escarp
#

Just slap shred on it for testing and change it back?

nocturne dust
#

for FGS? or wdym?

#

My FGS normally has shred

bitter escarp
#

Why would you change two variables and call it a fair comparison

nocturne dust
#

I'm not comparing illisi and FGS tho

thorn cedar
#

because he isnt saying anything worth listening to anyway

nocturne dust
#

I'm looking at mettle uptime

nocturne dust
#

I'm literally giving you actual data and you say it's not worth listening to

bitter escarp
#

Your data is cooked

nocturne dust
#

You're just living in a speed fairytale KEKW_ogryn

bitter escarp
#

Huge confound

nocturne dust
#

It's not a comparison between swords

bitter escarp
#

Illisi is meaningfully faster than FGS

nocturne dust
#

It's an examination of mettle uptime

jaunty tiger
nocturne dust
#

Nobody runs shred on Illisi

#

that's the problem

jaunty tiger
#

His point is that mettle is impossible to maintain reliably

nocturne dust
#

Yes

bitter escarp
#

But if you don't have Shred on it it's not going to change what you're examining

jaunty tiger
#

I don't agree with it

clear heath
#

yeah i don't think you should bother testing with shred

#

on illisi

jaunty tiger
#

But it doesn't matter if it's fair between fgs and illsi

bitter escarp
#

The counterpoint was that an Illisi is faster

nocturne dust
#

Like, I can go put shred on Illisi

thorn cedar
#

and his discovery is that not having a crit engine makes landing crits difficult for crit talents

nocturne dust
#

but Illisi doesn't run shred

thorn cedar
#

which is a giant no shit

bitter escarp
#

It doesn't, but that's not the point

jaunty tiger
nocturne dust
#

what 'crit engine' nonsense you talking about?

jaunty tiger
#

Maintain mettle

#

I mean

bitter escarp
#

The point is that it was a vehicle for checking if the increased attack speed matters for mettle uptime

split lance
clear heath
#

i mean the real answer is just throw an assail with perfect timing

nocturne dust
#

Of course it does

jaunty tiger
clear heath
#

or in my case i use surge staff as i gapclose

jaunty tiger
#

exploits said try illisi instead, so he used it

nocturne dust
#

but Illisi doesn't run shred

jaunty tiger
#

its not really about illisi vs fgs

thorn cedar
#

sans shred

bitter escarp
#

I read the same chat yes

#

He used a weapon without shred

#

Like, what

jaunty tiger
#

i dont think illisi runs shred

#

no?

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

yeah because you don't take shred on it

thorn cedar
#

and the slowest weapons heavy attacks with shred

nocturne dust
#

Illisi runs Uncanny/Slaughterer

thorn cedar
#

so now do a bit of creative thinking

bitter escarp
#

It does not but it doesn't matter here because that's just a vehicle for the test

thorn cedar
#

what weapon could run a crit engine

#

or are there perhaps other crit engines that are not shred

bitter escarp
jaunty tiger
thorn cedar
#

really ponder

jaunty tiger
#

again i dont agree

bitter escarp
jaunty tiger
#

but if you put shred on illisi that's not normal

nocturne dust
#

That the buff is consistent

#

but also

#

it only works

#

with a specific melee

#

That being DS/Knife

thorn cedar
#

do you mean to tell me

#

that certain talents and weapons

nocturne dust
#

Bruh

thorn cedar
#

synergize with each other?

bitter escarp
nocturne dust
#

Bruh

#

It ain't about synergies here

jaunty tiger
thorn cedar
#

im bored of this, youre terribly uncreative

nocturne dust
#

You're terrible at logic

jaunty tiger
#

tbh

clear heath
#

okay but actually just throw a crit assail every 4 swings

nocturne dust
#

Mettle expires on the class-exclusive weapons while spamming attacks, how is that not a problem?

thorn cedar
#

incorrect, i deduced by logic alone that the deadvoid in your username refers to your skull's contents

nocturne dust
#

How is that consistent?

#

How is that good speed?

jaunty tiger
#

i was gonna say you can solve this just by recording tests

bitter escarp
nocturne dust
jaunty tiger
#

but it sounds like its past that point

nocturne dust
#

Go away if all you're capable of is insults

thorn cedar
#

"Youre bad at logic"

bitter escarp
#

Jfc

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

yes very

jaunty tiger
nocturne dust
#

Lol

#

Hypocrite

jaunty tiger
#

he never said illisi is better or worse than fgs at something

#

the comparison doesnt matter between them

#

again though, i dont agree its hard to crit 1 time every 4 seconds

thorn cedar
#

and no the weapon in specific isnt that important, its really just having a crit engine or built in crit mod

nocturne dust
#

I just used shred whatthefuck_heresy

thorn cedar
#

faster attacks = more crits but that's about it

ripe obsidian
#

In my experience, people who say "I'm bored of this" to end a discussion have lost but don't want to admit it. I saw it a lot when I taught in elementary schools.

bitter escarp
#

That was the thrust of my critique about not having it in the comparison

clear heath
nocturne dust
jaunty tiger
#

that is not what the conversation is about

nocturne dust
#

That's comparing it

jaunty tiger
#

yeah

bitter escarp
#

Fuck sake

jaunty tiger
#

you said "in relation" and thats already not the point

#

look im really not trying to be a dick about it but just to lay it out

nocturne dust
#

There is no 'in relation to FGS', because FGS and illisi are two separate data points for a different argument

jaunty tiger
#

his argument is:

#

"you cant maintain mettle on most psyker weapons"

#

and your argument is

clear heath
#

the convo is about whether you can maintain mettle in a normal build
if illisi doesn't normally run shred, then it shouldn't be used as a test. It's actually exploit's fault for mentioning it at all

jaunty tiger
#

"well you cant fairly compare illisi and fgs if one doesnt have shred"

#

do you not see how these two sentences are like

#

completely nonsense in relatilon to each other

haughty star
#

just clutched a god damn maelstrom on that one assasination with the riser just to have the 3head that i managed to keep alive shoot a poxburster coming down the stairs and launch us both off the map

bitter escarp
#

My argument is that he had trouble maintaining it on FGS with Shred, he was told by Exploits to use an Illisi (re: attack speed) and he did it with an Illisi without Shred

clear heath
#

like no one cares about a fair comparison
in a fair comparison, we fucking know illisi crits more than fgs with shred

thorn cedar
#

not really, i suggested he try something that is not our slowest melee and only swinging heavies
he proceeded to test a faster weapon but without the same blessings anyway

jaunty tiger
nocturne dust
#

do you run shred on Illisi?

clear heath
#

but you don't run those blessings so what's the point in bringing it up?

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

because its a test, lmao

clear heath
#

like you're bringing up a situation that doesn't exist to prove it's useful?

#

this is the worst example

proper osprey
#

Illis would be cool if it worked like the relic blade

thorn cedar
#

its not about running a havoc

nocturne dust
#

Look, I'ma go run shred on Illisi just to stop you two from strawmanning

bitter escarp
thorn cedar
#

can you swing a weapon and maintain mettle

proper osprey
thorn cedar
#

if you have two with shred and the slowest one can't, try the faster one

#

it's not complex

nocturne dust
clear heath
jaunty tiger
proper osprey
thorn cedar
#

horribly uncreative

clear heath
#

shred illisi is not a real setup

#

no one runs this dogshit

nocturne dust
#

Shred Illisi

#

still expires

#

who could've guessed?

bitter escarp
thorn cedar
#

that youre horrible at logic

bitter escarp
#

It's not a real setup, it's a testbed jfc

clear heath
#

you're answering the wrong problem

#

it isn't what does more, it's what actually is useful

jaunty tiger
clear heath
#

literally everyone in this room knows that a faster weapon with the same crit will crit more

jaunty tiger
#

othewrise i would just say "why not just take your EK staff out and m1 spam"

thorn cedar
#

its a test, genius, it infers possibility by causality

nocturne dust
#

I thought Psyker was supposed to be big brain chat, but all I see is blunts Sitgryn

jaunty tiger
#

that being said

nocturne dust
#

Even the mirror shows a blunt because I'm part of this 😭

jaunty tiger
#

it seems reliable (enough) to me with light spam but idk

bitter escarp
#

Rename to ogryn chat

thorn cedar
#

youre not making a 100% top to bottom meta build you are only attempting to replicate results for a single outcome

nocturne dust
# jaunty tiger

Right, I should mention it expires with Shred Illisi on heavy spam

clear heath
#

but why

thorn cedar
#

jesus christ lmao

nocturne dust
#

But the fact it does at all

#

on a weapon blessing nobody runs

#

is a problem

#

This is not a reliable movespeed buff

bitter escarp
#

So it doesn't work on an Uncanny/Slaughterer Illisi, does Psyker run other melee weapons?

thorn cedar
#

obviously not

patent mango
#

funny greatsword

bitter escarp
#

Fuck sake

clear heath
#

i mean again, just throw an assail

thorn cedar
#

or shoot your funny fast laser gun

patent mango
#

im throwing a smite

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

man smite used to crit

jaunty tiger
thorn cedar
#

good times

jaunty tiger
#

look

#

im not agreeing

nocturne dust
#

Knife and Dueling Sword would probably be fine

jaunty tiger
#

genuinely

thorn cedar
#

also headshotted too

jaunty tiger
#

im just saying

#

attacking made up points is not really necessary

nocturne dust
#

but look, if the only melee weapons that can consistently crit enough to upkeep mettle are the 2 most overpowered melee weapons in the game

#

maybe mettle isn't consistent

thorn cedar
#

man if only we could instantly activate shred

jaunty tiger
#

combat axe seems reliable enough to me

#

testing it

thorn cedar
#

like imagine getting 20% crit chance off a single ability press

nocturne dust
thorn cedar
#

sure would be crazy

nocturne dust

#

Or 20% crit chance from a single dodge

nocturne dust
#

during which

mettle expires

nocturne dust

#

Oh no, gross

nocturne dust
#

Exactly

#

I do on the FGS, though lol

#

shred riposte funny memes

nocturne dust
#

I would test shred riposte

#

but I can't

patent mango
#

idk how people deal with knife psyker

nocturne dust
#

😭

patent mango
#

that seems so uh not fun

jaunty tiger
#

my counterargument by the way

#

is that

fringe garden
#

Nah, easy to just keep peril maxed with the occasional warp slash and use warp splitting

jaunty tiger
#

from what i can tell

fringe garden
#

40% crit is very nice with DD

patent mango
#

clearly we need true aim to proc on melee too

tired estuary
#

Incorrect, knife psyker is tight af

fringe garden
#

well, more than 40% overall, obviously

jaunty tiger
#

caxe mettle uptime works ok so its not really as narrow of a weapon set as you're making it out to be

#

plus

#

your ranged weapon can maintain it quite easily

bitter escarp
#

Knife also has inherent crit baked in

nocturne dust
#

I should be eating

#

but science

main wyvern
#

If the weapon cant do warp stuff I don't want to use it

fringe garden
#

That's the spirit

nocturne dust
bitter escarp
#

Knife can do warp stuff in psyker hands

nocturne dust
#

Bruh

bitter escarp
#

Hold down infinite push attack

nocturne dust
#

Caxe is the worst offender

#

It expired so quickly

#

lmao

jaunty tiger
#

eh?

clear heath
#

how much crit do you have btw?

jaunty tiger
#

let me record

nocturne dust
#

Couldn't even get 3 stacks of mettle the first try

clear heath
#

dead are you doing heavies again?

nocturne dust
#

no

thorn cedar
#

are vets also warp entities then

jaunty tiger
#

i hope yo u are not doing heavies

nocturne dust
#

just lights

jaunty tiger
#

thank fuck

bitter escarp
nocturne dust
#

It is real bad

radiant frigate
#

does knife have shred

nocturne dust
#

It expires so much

bitter escarp

Cardio is magic we know this

jaunty tiger
#

oh wait

#

no wonder

#

this random caxe i found has shred on it

clear heath
#

lmao

nocturne dust
jaunty tiger
#

thats prolly why its so consistent

nocturne dust
#

I'm not using shred

bitter escarp
#

Lmao

radiant frigate
#

brumentumless caxe when

#

The real issue witht he knife is that atm it's just a worse duelling sword XD

bitter escarp
#

New havoc meta

nocturne dust
#

I'm betting Shred Caxe will be worse than shred FGS/Illisi tho

jaunty tiger
#

well

#

i already made the video anyway

#

so enjoy it

radiant frigate
#

knife is like duelling sword if duelling sword sucked

thorn cedar
#

was balanced

nocturne dust
tired estuary
#

*if duelling sword was fun

nocturne dust
#

try to get through one boss and it will expire at least once

#

because crits are random

#

and randomness can screw you over

jaunty tiger
#

tbh

#

im surprised

#

that fgs

#

cant maintain it with shred

#

let me try it

radiant frigate
patent mango
#

can it raelly not?

#

are you guys using riposte

nocturne dust
#

That's the real crux of the issue

jaunty tiger
#

idk he says it cant

tired estuary
#

Knife is still busted but its dmg ceiling isn't as vile as ds

jaunty tiger
#

so im gonna try it

nocturne dust
patent mango
#

get riposte 5% aura 5% node

radiant frigate
#

idk knife seems to be considerably worse into armor

patent mango
#

knife is defo one of the weapons

nocturne dust
#

Using FGS with shred on a crit/meleeker build with attack speed node at 37.5% crit, it failed to maintain mettle while spamming into a boss

radiant frigate
#

unless bleed uncanny shenanigans

nocturne dust
#

multiple times

nocturne dust
#

Pretty consistently about once per boss

#

but it was okay I think once out of 5 tries

radiant frigate
#

but perhaps it is user error

nocturne dust
bitter escarp
nocturne dust
#

No man, I can't

#

People keep defending mettle for no good reason

radiant frigate
#

not crit

radiant frigate
#

and how i think knife sucks ass

jaunty tiger
#

seems fine to me with l1 l2 block cancel

nocturne dust
#

I'm just waiting for the next person to tell me I'm stupid and wrong

jaunty tiger
#

which is what you use in a horde no?

You've missed the obvious advantage of mettle

i was about to say that

nocturne dust
jaunty tiger
#

yes

#

why wouldnt i

nocturne dust
#

I specified mk6

jaunty tiger
#

its cooler

#

force push into stab

nocturne dust
#

mk6 is coolest

radiant frigate
#

somejuan said mk 8 is faster

#

true and real? or false and fake?

nocturne dust
#

I'ma try mk8 now I guess

#

but I'll probably mess it up

#

I suck at combos

jaunty tiger
#

ok

#

i tried it on mk6

#

and it still stays up

#

im guessing the mk6 horde combo is l1 l2 l3 h1

radiant frigate
#

i just like how fgs goes slice slice

jaunty tiger
#

if im wrong then fuck you that's what i did

#

yea

nocturne dust
#

I was using heavy spam loregryn

#

which is my main point

bitter escarp
#

Bruh

#

It should be maintainable with such

jaunty tiger
#

but why would you heavy spam

#

i dont think that is a realistic scenario

mk6 is good with heavy spam? It also gives leeway for actual combat where you wouldn't be able to just spam

#

just spamming isn't realistic either

#

Also, question, does multiple crits in the same swing proc only one instance of Mettle?

jaunty tiger
#

idk i usually take out the fgs to kill a shitton of shitty horde enemies

if not its to poke a crusher in the eye

are you gonna lightspam a crusher pack to death

Because that might hella skew the results

and in the 20 crusher scenario

usually you dont go around killing them 1 at a time

#

Anyway, if mettle can't be maintained with heavy spam and shred, I think it's fair to say mettle isn't consistent

radiant frigate
bitter escarp
#

Ah yes the headhunter crit string abuse mark

nocturne dust
#

because my whole argument was that mettle doesn't work for running between targets

#

and if you lose mettle even without running between targets....

#

😭

radiant frigate
#

i fink mettle is neat for refreshing toughness with reconlas and iag

nocturne dust
#

lol that's true

radiant frigate
#

and going zippy sometimes

#

as a treat

nocturne dust
#

but the original argument was meleeker's speed buffs and how consistent they are

#

which is why I was testing melees

radiant frigate
#

which they are not at all

#

sg speed is like xd

bitter escarp
#

Meleeker on FGS usually has to run a laspistol or something no?

That's what I said but nobody believed me 😔

If you can dodge and be in the next group, that's not really a 'next group'

bitter escarp
#

Ok I reckon if we want to really test this we gotta define the parameters

jaunty tiger
#

but i did a full lap

#

around all the enemies on psyk

nocturne dust
#

like what do you mean

#

you can dodge between groups and immediately start hitting the next group

clear heath
#

I don't really see enemies scattered that much unless it's on really low density conditions like lights out or something

patent mango
#

low density missions are scary

nocturne dust
#

I mean it's not that scattered

#

If you just work on the outside of the Psykh circle

jaunty tiger
#

me being knee deep in shit is more common

clear heath
#

enemies also kinda walk towards you

nocturne dust
#

Mettle's uptime issues should become more apparent

bitter escarp
#

Mettle isn't going to let you run from one encounter to another to the next

#

But it's up whenever you have shit to hit

clear heath
#

okay but like actually just throw assails with true aim

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

or whatever ranged crit option you have

nocturne dust
#

Eh

#

I mean

clear heath
#

you pretty much always run a finesse weapon on scriers anyways

nocturne dust
#

if I have to switch away from melee just to upkeep mettle, mettle isn't consistent

#

That's my stance

bitter escarp
# nocturne dust

Tap: deal damage equal to power to target creature. If creature dies, untap.

nocturne dust
#

Anyway, I'ma go eat

clear heath
#

okay in the context of gapclosing on enemies though, do you not just shoot things while gapclosing? or do you just twiddle your thumbs?

clear heath
#

like why are we assuming you're forced to do literally nothing while approaching enemies?

nocturne dust
#

Normally I spam assail but like

#

This is still a problem, no?

clear heath
#

is this a real scenario or are you arbitrarily restricting yourself to not being allowed to shoot?

nocturne dust
#

It constrains meleeker to being the one-trick pony. Meleeker is Assailker is Gunker.

clear heath
#

okay then use a gun

nocturne dust
#

Mettle drops in actual combat

#

In fact, it drops much more easily much more often

clear heath
#

use surge staff like i do then if not gunker

nocturne dust
#

because enemies aren't going to be consistently in front of you

#

and saying 'just swap to assail/gun' isn't always viable. Walls exist.

jaunty tiger
#

tbh

#

i think its more unrealistic to say you cant engage and attack a target for long periods of time

#

in high havoc

#

or even auric

nocturne dust
#

It's not long periods tho

#

Not even close to long periods.

i'm really trying to imagine a situation where you need movespeed to reach something quickly, but also there isn't a threat you should be shooting

#

like this seems like an oxymoron

nothing to shoot but you need to get to the enemy

clear heath
#

like the reason to need movespeed is "there's an enemy i need to get to"
the issue with using a gun to proc mettle is just "there is no enemy to shoot around me"
Seems like there isn't a situation with an actual problem

#

if you can't shoot something, you also don't need the movespeed

movespeed? can I get more movespeed please? I'd like more movespeed

# clear heath like the reason to need movespeed is "there's an enemy i need to get to" the iss...

I think that's the wrong way to think of move speed, especially in the context of mettle. (If I'm understanding the point you're trying to make)

It's a an extra bonus on top of what it already does.

Move speed is useful for disengagement and well. Moving. And sometimes you need to move quicky to account for positioning errors or difficult situations the director puts you in.

For example, the run I just lost, I was using chorus to move my team along to the next objective - the psyker lagged behind and couldn't make it to us before being melted by ragers. The utility of move speed there could have been the difference between living or dying (it wasn't, because I know this psyker had mettle, the point I'm making is that it could have been. So I guess the value of move speed is really hard to determine, and it's got diminishing returns the more stamina and move speed you have)

clear heath
hearty wolf
#

Oh right

#

No no you right

#

I just read what you meant

clear heath
#

the only time you can't stack mettle is when there's nothing in your LoS, in which case, why the fuck does that matter?

#

what is this mythical situation?

hearty wolf
#

I was just confused with the quotes, I'm tired

#

No I do think you're right, it's pretty random to need movespeed otherwise.

#

Only situations I can imagine is something like

#

Mutant throws you off a ledge onto a lower platform

#

And to get back to team, you need to run around a wall with no enemies in sight

clear heath
#

yeah there's some situations where you just need it for positioning

hearty wolf
#

It's really niche though

clear heath
#

but the void's main point of all this is for shitting on meleeker and it's need for movespeed for gapclosing and not being able to
If we include those situations, this is now not unique to melee psyker. It's just everything

thorn cedar
#

his statement was that zealot was strictly faster

#

then it became "at all the times that matter"

hearty wolf
#

I need to read this to make sense of it, sec.

clear heath
#

void thinks movespeed is a massive issue if you want to melee on psyker

thorn cedar
#

then it was doubt regarding uptime and viability of mettle specifically and nothing else

#

which lets be real

#

even if the uptime for the movespeed sucked

#

youd still use it

#

because its ridiculous

clear heath
#

true

thorn cedar
#

but that's what he zeroed in on for whatever reason

hearty wolf
#

I don't understand Voids argument tbh

clear heath
#

but anyways headshotting 4 times with melee before using true aim to get a free crit is also a thing

thorn cedar
#

zealot is indeed the fastest in an empty room sprinting in one direction

hearty wolf
#

Maybe I'm just dumb

thorn cedar
#

but that's it

hearty wolf
#

My stance is

#

I like mettle

thorn cedar
#

i like to zoom

#

psyker has the most zoom

nocturne dust
# clear heath if you can't shoot something, you also don't need the movespeed

Well, for one, the goal isn't always murder. Maybe there's an objective, or a trapped buddy, or you need to reposition before getting lit up by a dozen bombers and gunners. You can't always be looking at an enemy.

For two, you can't fire endlessly. Assail has a shard limit, guns have ammo and reloading. That isn't hard to avoid, but at the same time sometimes it's better to reload/wait than waste on the one poxwalker flailing around like one of those front-of-store inflatables.

nocturne dust
#

But it would be nice if it wasn't the way that it was

clear heath
#

this kinda isn't specific to melee though
Like why don't you complain about movespeed for vet, if all you want is to free netted people?

nocturne dust
#

Vet has toughness

#

That's how he gets through melee

thorn cedar
#

vet has movespeed aura to help teammates run into nets even faster

nocturne dust
#

Psyker has neither toughness or movespeed, and I think Psyker should have at least one

thorn cedar
#

im going to assume you mean gold toughness

strong gulch
#

Wasn't void's main thing that mettle's movespeed buff is consistent? From previous convos (between miltiple people), consistent was more or less understood to be always up. So if mettle drops sometime while performing the action (heavy spam on mk6 FGS), then mettle's movespeed buff isn't consistent.

clear heath
#

no but i mean, in your hypothetical, the goal is to save a netted person in a situation where you have nothing to shoot to gain mettle off of yes?
If there's nothing to shoot, there's nothing attacking you. Vet's toughness isn't actually relevant here

#

if there is an enemy, then problem is solved no?

strong gulch
#

But yeah there are other ways and scenarios to make use of mettle.

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

but that's not a mettle issue

nocturne dust
#

It is because mettle's duration is so short

clear heath
#

why do you need a movespeed buff while reviving?

nocturne dust
#

You don't have time to do such things and keep mettle up

clear heath
#

you can't move while reviving

nocturne dust
haughty star
#

push?

clear heath
#

shoot?

#

attack?

nocturne dust
#

You have to rebuild stacks is what I'm saying

nocturne dust
#

That's the definition of inconsistent buff if it constantly goes down

#

It was the trouble with DD back when every stack suddenly just disappeared. Yeah, it's not super important, but man is it annoying

#

and I don't think there's a good reason to have it be annoying

clear heath
#

i mean, that's just psyker issue in general i guess. idk mettle builds up fast with a lot of weapons anyways

nocturne dust
#

I mean warp siphon isn't annoying

#

DD consistently gets less annoying with every change KEKW_ogryn

clear heath
#

I considered DD targeting to be fine last patch and it's mostly better now

#

it's not full uptime but the bursts of speed are signifcant

#

getting toughness off them can come in handy too. actually a decent survival node

nocturne dust
#

I dunno I haven't bothered with the survival node for DD

#

oh wait I'm crazy, I'm thinking of EP

clear heath
#

no i mean the main node gives toughness on kill

nocturne dust
#

Eh, I find the replenishment way too inconsistent to be anything more than a novelty

clear heath
#

killing the marked thing has saved me a few times

bitter escarp
#

With DD I find it makes a difference if I actively try not to clap all the Dregs and Scabs in one FGS swing

#

If I kill one at a time the blue man stacks accumulate very quickly

clear heath
#

you do have to play around it but that's what makes it dynamic and interesting

bitter escarp
#

Because it hops to the next fella

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

sometimes it's jank though

bitter escarp
#

Yeah it can be, but at least it's same post code jank now

#

Used to be tzeentchian

thorn cedar
#

much better logic now

#

as to where itll go next

#

almost all my builds have perfectionist now and its not especially hard to maintain value out of it

#

only one build did for me before with reliability and that was deimos/laspee/assail which has basically zero downtime and a lot of strong, quick, and precise weapons
