Someone uses vet stealth ult?

rigid moss
#

Sadly

potent echo
#

they say you do so much damage once you come out of it

tidal siren
#

You can get some good breakpoints on plasma with stealth ult

sacred surge
rigid moss
#

The vets that use stealth ult are those that think they're the heroes for one-man ressing their team all alone (which would have never gone down in the first place if they had VoC)

deft stump
#

You use it for objectives. Do you like being an objective monkey?

potent echo
#

but

#

you have TWBS

#

but thats zealot i guess

#

and yea i did some funny stealth games where i pressed my gameboy

rigid moss
#

So, tldr as a vet: use plasma gun, use VoC, that's 95% of your power budget right there and then.

rigid moss
#

I mean yeah, DS goes without saying as long as its not nerfed

#

Personally, I love my hand cannon as well. I have a revolver / DS weapon specialist build that is very very fun to play

#

but plasma gun is just better for the most part

#

Oh and never use the revive talent on VoC, it's a trap. That's about all you need to know

gray juniper
#

Regular cooldown is already long af. You don’t have to convince me

rigid moss
#

tactical awareness helps

#

the skill. also the wisdom.

#

hey I can post pictures now, how nice.

tidal siren
#

Knockback is enough to get the res off in 90% situations

deft stump
gray juniper
# rigid moss

I’m just using the vet meta and bolt pistol and that’s really it. If I pass into aurics I’ll feel like I’m doing something

potent echo
#

did powersword go out of fashion

#

why is everyone duelling stick now

jovial juniper
#

Psword is vet's

#

You mean Force Sword?

potent echo
#

no, refering to vet

wispy bay
#

Because of better damage vs carapace

jovial juniper
#

Oh no

potent echo
#

its still 2 shot on the stabby psword

jovial juniper
#

Vets best melee still power sword 6

#

People might not like the poor dodges though

wispy bay
#

People don't like the activation.

potent echo
#

i went to vet chat and they told me duelling sword is meta

wispy bay
#

I mean, dueling sword is still the best melee weapon overall.

deft stump
#

And safer.

potent echo
#

true

deft stump
#

Powersword is like using a slab.

potent echo
#

they still cant get over the activation button

deft stump
#

And remember, as a vet...

jovial juniper
deft stump
#

You want to DODGE.

jovial juniper
wispy bay
#

Speed, dodge, damage. Only the cleave has some issue, but it can be worked on.

deft stump
#

Not block.

#

Or shit gets broken anyway.

potent echo
#

duellies probably better on a non melee vet

deft stump
#

And Powersword is more a block weapon than a dodge weapon.

potent echo
#

doesnt duelling sword have better block than psword though KEKW_ogryn

#

oldies told me knife and duelling sword have the best block outside of shield

wispy bay
#

I still use the Dclaw parry to carry my ass i. h40.

deft stump
#

Otherwise...

#

Do you know how bad Vet stam regen delay is?

potent echo
#

yes

deft stump
#

If you don't path like 1 or 2 of the -stam regen delay nodes?

potent echo
#

but i also almost exclusively play crackhead vet

#

so my experience is very skewed

deft stump
potent echo
#

and yea fair duellies are great for non melee builds since they dont require much investment

#

i have a knife doublebarrel weapon spec vet

jovial juniper
potent echo
#

spam push attack

jovial juniper
#

Yes Better block cost

deft stump
potent echo
#

i was right

rigid moss
#

wait I'm being stupid. I'm talking about toughness not stamina.

#

nevermind me.

deft stump
#

Maybe 3.

#

You need 6 to poke ded a crusher.

#

Assuming some crits.

potent echo
#

with uncanny its less

#

and usually you dont just fight one crusher

deft stump
potent echo
#

uncanny and uh

#

the headshot damage on bleed

deft stump
#

That's Mercykiller.

potent echo
#

yes

deft stump
#

I can literally show you.

#

5-6 hits to kill, all PA on hed.

potent echo
#

yea but hopefully you start with non-zero stacks of uncanny

deft stump
#

Yes.

#

That's 0.

potent echo
#

on havoc or auric

deft stump
#

Auric.

potent echo
#

oh you mean start at zero yea

#

but by the time you reach crusher 2,3,4,5 you already have max stacks

deft stump
#

It can be less, but that's rolling 4 crits in a row.

#

To be fair, I run every 'nade node except twinned. Oh and I always have Field Improv.

vagrant flax
# jovial juniper

Wait so blocking with a thunderhammer costs 5.6 stamina do I interpret this correctly?

#

Or is 5.6 per point of damage or smt? I got no idea how this works haha

jovial juniper
#

Blocking a sweep from a Mauler

gray juniper
#

Yea… fuck the noise. I’m going back to the 3 stamina on psyker. That crusher melee is crucial

rigid moss
gray juniper
#

Idk

jovial juniper
#

Not really stamina

#

Although it helps if you're running deflector

gray juniper
#

I started playing the game around when nightmares and visions was a thing and came here to get accurate info because everywhere else is very outdated or sounded misleading

marble crater
#

Stamina gang rise up

gray juniper
#

Gang gang

deft stump
marble crater
#

No, blocked

gray juniper
#

Lmao

deft stump
gray juniper
#

I’m going to throw +6 on the vet idc idc idc what anyone’s meta suggestion says

marble crater
hearty wolf
#

I'm coming home

#

I rage quit work

#

Today we're going to be a shield mongrel

marble crater
#

Embrace shot pistol

hearty wolf
#

Oh that one exists too

#

I could try it but I don't think it will hold a candle to bolt pistol

deft stump
marble crater
#

Shot pistol is cool, double shield is cool, be cool.

hearty wolf
#

Uhh

#

Puncture is all

#

Puncture make dog do big nommies

deft stump
hearty wolf
#

Was it?

#

It's like a base mechanic when stacking dots

deft stump
#

Only Lethal Prox and impact still works.

#

Oh, I thought you mean dog boom.

hearty wolf
#

Noes

#

Stacking to 16 bleed

deft stump
#

Ah.

plucky flax
deft stump
lyric burrow
#

BP is def better although bp is just very good

#

I wish shotpistol had a little more ammo but thats it really

hearty wolf
#

That sounds awful

#

Why was I recommended this

wispy bay
deft stump
plucky flax
#

I said it sucks didn't I?

wispy bay
#

I never see that happen in my game.

deft stump
#

Min pellet count, I guess.

wispy bay
#

Also, if you want bleed, you can get the crit on number number of target hit + bleed on crit on spistol.

#

The base cleave is quite high on it, easy to get bleed proc.

hearty wolf
#

I'm using it for boss damage so I'd be shooting half my mag at nothing and I'd need to apply like 12 bleed to the boss

#

So an entire mag

lyric burrow
wispy bay
#

Though, I only use spistol for the safety of the shield vs ranged, otherwise, it sucks.

#

Even Agrip revolver does better dps.

#

And kill most elite in 2 hits.

deft stump
lyric burrow
#

Ye its kinda got DB range

wispy bay
#

You can run that with +crit if you want to fight bosses, but then again, get Cshotgun in that case.

lyric burrow
#

Little less punishing but not super far off

gray juniper
#

Baby bolty one of best guns in the game imo

wispy bay
#

The nly good thing with it is the shield to cover you against gunners.

rigid iris
#

Whats baby bolty

#

Its called Bistol 🗣️

steel hawk
#

Bolt pistol

gray juniper
#

Baby bolty

deft stump
#

And I even have run&gun and that thing that supposedly gives damage on altfire wait.

#

Mostly due to thinking it will help like kickback things.

wispy bay
#

Run and gun on Shot revolver is a waste imo.

#

Unless you run full bore

#

But then again... Why not using Eshotgun or Cshotgun instead?

deft stump
#

Because havoc double shield.

#

I run Bistol outside. XD

wispy bay
#

Vrak Cshotgun does surprisingly good damage vs monsters. Though shit against anything else.

deft stump
#

My Eshotgun has weird blessings. Suppressed or staggered bonus damage.

gray juniper
#

Emergency shotgun?

wispy bay
#

Yes

jovial juniper
#

Ethernet shotgun

gray juniper
#

Sounds even better

Just download more attitude

marble crater
#

Or I ask a black woman for advice

deft stump
hollow magnet
#

what perks should I run on voidblast staff?

#

im guessing flak and idk

marble crater
#

Flak and crit for blazing spirit build
Flak and carapace for rending build

marble crater
hollow magnet
#

is In Fire Reborn worth using

#

does it only trigger if the enemy dies to soulblaze? or just if they have the status when they die?

marble crater
#

Triggers when they die while being affected by soulblaze, so yeah it's good

marble crater
jovial juniper
#

Procs on any death while blazed

#

At any range

sacred surge
#

Love that shield

hollow magnet
#

is voidblast soulfire worth using

#

it doesnt feel like the fire is really doing anything substantial

marble crater
#

Blaze Voidblast is the more popular version and very worth using

hollow magnet
#

its what im using atm but i cant work out what the point of the fire is

#

is it just to help clear fodder ?

tulip kettle
#

its hard for you to quantify

#

but if you use a scoreboard with a plug in

#

you will see how much its really doing

crisp yacht
#

It's spreads fire gud. It will set things on fire more around the circle then indicates.

tulip kettle
#

and yes, without the fire, the build (blazing spirit warp nexus voidblast) does nothing

hollow magnet
#

what is trauma staff?

#

is it just another name for VB

marble crater
#

It's the old name

#

Fatshark changed a lot of weapon names... for some reason

#

Most likely because Trauma and Surge were also blessing names, but that doesn't explain Purgatus, and I will never forgive them

hollow magnet
#

is there a way to speed up Kinetic Flayer?

marble crater
#

No

quartz barn
#

now we just have void and void

tulip kettle
#

sorry i posted above clip without an explanation

#

but, you can see that the actual effect on enemies is much wider than the aiming circle, enemies get staggered for quite some distance

marble crater
#

I said it before, change Elektro and Inferno names to also include Void at the start and then we can just forgot about that prefix and can refer to staves as Strike, Blast, whatever the new names are

steel hawk
#

Voidblast (aoe void mortar)

Voidstrike (focused ball of energy)

tulip kettle
#

and those that get staggered will get the soulblaze from crits

quartz barn
#

voidfire

#

voidshock

marble crater
#

Good, ship it

quartz barn
#

doesnt actually sound too bad

tulip kettle
#

so you are making your VB go from doing high damage to enemies in the circle and nothing outside, to high damage in the circle and fire outside

quartz barn
#

voidshock also reminds me of a consumable in salt and sanctuary

marble crater
#

Purgatus was the best staff name, look how they massacred my boy

analog agate
#

My internet is bad right now. Someone can look up Atlas’s pictures and he had the example of soulblaze beyond the blast

tulip kettle
wispy bay
#

Vblast feels slower, however, you don't need to fully charge it to be effective. It also has a long range M1 attack, compared to inferno, which has none.

tulip kettle
#

meanwhile on reddit

#

err, blazing trauma is bad, actually, i did 1.2 mil dmg in havoc 40 without it

wispy bay
#

So many times I choked because I have no range to do anything...

tulip kettle
#

push with bubble

#

get close and supress with flames

#

ez

#

just, be an infallible robot who never makes mistakes ofc

unborn chasm
#

is there any difference blessing or perk wise for a deimos or obscurus on havoc?

tulip kettle
#

i am not qualified to speak on it

#

idk about obsucrs in havoc

#

i know I wouldnt run it

#

i would assume you run carapace and uyileding

unborn chasm
#

i wanted to try since some people said its better but not safer

tulip kettle
#

it has one combo

#

that can do more single target dps

#

but its move set in general i find to be janky and bad

#

my personal take is, why run em really

#

deiumos, i understand with deflector

unborn chasm
#

fair enough, i usually only use deimos to deflect

#

and dodge away

tulip kettle
#

you want a DS4 but also want a force sword, so you take deimos

unborn chasm
#

maybe kill a mutant here and there

tulip kettle
#

but in H40 it wont 1 shot muties

unborn chasm
#

whats DS4?

tulip kettle
#

duelling sword mk 4

unborn chasm
#

ah

tulip kettle
#

its just the non force version of deimos essntially

unborn chasm
#

im never really using combos anyway

#

kinda just spam whatever i feel like haha

unborn chasm
marble crater
#

You are in luck, DS4 is all about spamming heavy attacks, they are all the same too

hearty wolf
#

I tried the shield

#

is too slow

#

am slug

#

fuck that

tulip kettle
#

DS4 is kind of almost the default high tier weapon at this point

marble crater
unborn chasm
#

whats the standard combo with deimos then? light then heavy?

marble crater
#

Yes

plucky flax
tulip kettle
#

Sin when he is trying to keep up with others instead of making them keep up with him

marble crater
#

Zealot main when no knife

tulip kettle
#

stab knoc things on bum hehe

unborn chasm
#

ah and for hordes you have purg ig

#

or spam light attacks

tulip kettle
#

yeah you will be using it like you said

#

stab the odd mutie or special

unborn chasm
#

ok cool

tulip kettle
#

try to keep yourself safe from crusher packs

unborn chasm
#

the dodge speed on it is awesome ngl

tulip kettle
#

DS4 is just the same thing but the attacks come out quickly and it has insane mobility

#

your stagger is on special instead of being part of a chain

#

and in my experience it clears hordes slightly better with L spam

#

but then you get to the big boys game and bring the FGS and your world opens

#

kite these crushers? why? i will slaughter them!

unborn chasm
#

just checked been using the DS2 on my gun psyker

marble crater
unborn chasm
#

i think cause of the light attack for hordes

tulip kettle
#

oof

unborn chasm
#

other builds i used the DS4

cosmic sigil
tulip kettle
#

idk i felt like a badass yesterday when i got cornered with 3 crushers 3 maulers and held my ground like a man and killed em all

unborn chasm
#

mobility always dump stat on BFS and DS right?

tulip kettle
#

then got literally IMMEDIATELY pounced

tulip kettle
unborn chasm
tulip kettle
#

this was with MK6 FGS

unborn chasm
cosmic sigil
#

Dump warp resistance on fgs

tulip kettle
#

yeah precisely if it has warp res, always dump warp re

#

some people dump cleave on DS instead of mobility

unborn chasm
#

ah okay

tulip kettle
#

if it has warp res, thats the dump

#

if it has mobility, thats the dump

#

are pretty solid general rules that apply in most cases

ornate hamlet
#

Can someone explain the difference between deflector perk on blaze sword and kenetic deflect perk?

tulip kettle
#

yes

#

deflector perk lets you block bullets

#

kinetic deflector does not let you block bullets

#

deflector perk does nothing except make your blocks cheaper and let you block bullets

#

kinetic deflection changes the block cost from stamina to peril

unborn chasm
#

i usually use both of those together

tulip kettle
#

i think KD should usually be taken on most psyker builds unless theres a specific reason not to / youre a god at the game

#

deflector is very much personal preference and not usually needed

unborn chasm
#

so deimos has warp res and mobility, so what is dump?

tulip kettle
#

warp res

unborn chasm
#

zhx

#

thx

ornate hamlet

timber parcel
tulip kettle
#

you should not be allowed the dog

timber parcel
#

Kinda only need it for like double chaos spawn solo or DH and something else

tulip kettle
#

yes yes blah blah

#

KD is just too much value

#

you actively want to generate peril

#

and you want your stam for doing other things like pushing

#

also good luck doing a res or any such with 2 stamina on DS and no KD

plucky flax

I heard on the grapevine light light block cancel is more single target dps than heavy light.

plucky flax

Gonna test it real fast.

tulip kettle
#

on what weapon sry?

flat nexus
summer prairie
#

i've been using light light block for most things, it's better with lone wolf though

flat nexus
#

probably arbi shock maul

tulip kettle
#

oh arbimaul ofc

plucky flax
#

Yeah you lose 15% damage.

#

So that's why I'm curious.

Maybe just light spam and call it a day.

plucky flax

Well, “working” from home KEKW_ogryn

summer prairie
#

I think your own dps is more important than dog, dog will kill anyway just slightly later

#

plus only some dog dps gets buffed

#

relentless just too good for boss and enables light light block more

plucky flax
#

If I'm not using heavy for single target I might as well remove that talent.

plucky flax

But I like using push attack heavy heavy for mixed horde tho...

#

The sweep is nice against ragers.

What weapon though

plucky flax
#

Arby maul.

summer prairie

I still have it for mixed, not sure if worth

I stick to 27. Bigger than that and you have to strain your eyes or move your head to look around.

I also come from a comp fps background where 24 is all you want

@plucky flax btw what was that spec count

#

in civ

#

in h40 we dont get that many

plucky flax
#

Uuuh I can look it up.

plucky flax
#

My last won havoc game was 38 mins long and didn't have as many.

last shore
#

You get way more elites and specials in high intensity aurics than maels for whatever reason

wraith forge
#

Which FGS is faster? 6 or 8?

plucky flax
#

Faster in what?

wraith forge
#

Att speed

plucky flax
#

Mk8.

#

But faster attack speed doesn't mean more dps.

wraith forge
#

That's true

analog agate
#

They essentially have the same dps too. Mk6 is more unless you don’t factor in the prep of the block attack charge on mk8

tulip kettle
#

it was my fault for the specials

#

for the first section my pacing was all off compared to the team and i kept standing in the wrong spot

#

hence the triple carpet bomb

plucky flax
#

No it was clad.

#

I forgot how fun maelstrom was. Things die when you hit them.

tulip kettle
#

ikr

plucky flax
#

Purple red = there's only pain.

#

Maybe it's time to retire from havoc. SadgeCry

#

It's too hard.

tulip kettle
#

i do think its kind of, not fun

#

its challenging

last shore
tulip kettle
#

at the same time though when everyone actually is playing well and brought the right tools for the modifiers and is in sync, H40 is the only thing that feels challenging at all

#

i like that in auric still the punishments system for doing something else isnt so bad

#

like if you take too long on a section havoc, first the BoN comes, then the bulwarks wall

plucky flax
#

But with extra modifiers.

tulip kettle
#

in auric you just get special spammed

#

idk i thought they changed it chaos

#

so all aurics are high int

last shore
plucky flax
#

Yeah and the 'high int' auric is like extra high int.

tulip kettle
#

but then high int on auric board is like, high int+

plucky flax
#

But auric should be the hight int+ so to speak.

tulip kettle
#

agreed

plucky flax
#

I mean mael*

tulip kettle
#

but i think maybe its not

last shore
#

Like it’s more challenging than mael basically (which I don’t think is hard but still)

tulip kettle
#

its kind of like havoc but without the mods and bullet sponge enemies i feel

last shore
#

I find high int aurics way more fun than maels because of how much shit they throw at you

tulip kettle
#

the boss spawn punishments seem a lot more lenient

last shore
#

They did something with spawns for it

summer prairie
#

maelstorms also have the high int modifier, shouldn't be any different

last shore
#

Nah it’s less

#

Played both a bunch and it’s noticeably less

#

Idk what they did

#

Maels just spawns bosses more

summer prairie
#

I know what they did, they made high int increase resistance from 5 to 6. Boss spawns should be the same if it's not a monster maelstorms

analog agate
#

Maels feel no different to me

#

Than old maels that is

last shore
#

Yeah

#

It feels the same as old maels

#

It’s high int aurics that’s diff

tulip kettle
#

syllo

last shore
#

My friends and I played it a bunch lately and we definitely noticed it

tulip kettle
#

do you generate more peril in havoc?

summer prairie
#

no

tulip kettle
#

thats so weird i didnt think so either

#

but it kind of feels like it

last shore
#

You get a quell penalty

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

yeah i know you qull sloer

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

must be that

ripe obsidian
#

Went into Auric and felt like just tapping R burned all my peril away in half a second

wraith sphinx
#

havoc decreasing quell speed feels so dogshit

#

another reason I don't like playing havoc

summer prairie
#

add_resistance here is the same add_resistance that high/shock get

#

and that's the only thing that makes auric harder than before

#

so don't see how maelstorm is different unless it's some backend weirdness

wraith sphinx
#

btw @strong gulch I played another havoc mission with those randoms after you went to sleep and they got wiped out by karnak twins in the first quarter of hab dreyko, I managed to solo both of them but then got netted

summer prairie
#

This is high/shock

wraith sphinx
#

that was also like

#

the first time I saw karnak twins wipe out randoms on a h19 mission

#

didn't know whether to laugh or cry

tulip kettle
#

its more likely lower

#

they dont know to focus rinda

summer prairie
#

some maelstorm modifiers may do something to current tension/pacing, like maybe dogs pause hordes for a bit, haven't looked at non-havoc stuff in ages

ripe obsidian
#

I think low havoc people also don't know that twins shields are on a timer, not damage gated. Or maybe I am mistaken

#

But I am like 90% sure the twins shield goes down for like 30 seconds, and you can kill them fully in that time

ripe obsidian
rigid sky
#

They should explain how the different shields work properly imo

#

There's no in-game information about it

#

Updated meat grinder maybe, Sefoni could explain the quirks of all boss types

tulip kettle
#

but by the time you are playing havoc 30+ you should be getting havily punished for not playing correctly - which you do

#

but then arb is just letting so many bad players get away with so much

#

i joined a 28 game earlier to chill

#

theres an arb in there running 3 wound curios

#

just goes down over and over again, somehow playing arb

#

brute forced the mission

#

and now hes in 29

#

you can see how this guy could end up in 40s with still no clue how to play

wraith sphinx
#

ty ty

tulip kettle
#

idk what to suggest to fix it

wraith sphinx
#

was pretty damn nice with the devils claw lol, just spamming parries and timing dodges to Rodin's shots instead of Rinda's blows

rigid sky
#

And explaining it with in-universe characterisation would be fun

tulip kettle
#

agree

tulip kettle
rigid sky
#

Like explain that Lieutenants have lesser shields and that they have specific vulnerabilities based on which type of lieutenant they are

#

And name the two lieutenant types

#

Something other than notRinda and notRodin

frail escarp
#

i wish they just nerfed it to the max from the get go so it doesnt vary

frail escarp
#

that's my problem

#

that it keeps changing as you go up

Is there a complete breakdown of how twins/captain shields work somewhere

In case anyone is interesting in the quell speed changes / slow down in havoc, here's kuli's chart.

I’ve just been anecdotally eyeballing it

I know to focus Rinda, but tbh, I havent really noticed shield differences since progressing into higher havoc difficulties. I spend most of my time crowd controlling so the rest of the group can deal with them.

So I just toyed around on Heresy with a Bubbleknight build and am surprised by how much damage this does and how many answers it has. I wasn't expecting that to actually work.

I don't see this working on high havoc or at least not for me but huh.

It's fun.

@hearty wolf sitting down now. I will have to break after a round to feed the pets

rigid moss
#

As I said, I've seen some vids. I don't think I'm going to attempt that at all but the build in and on itself works just way better than I thought. It has a lot of answers. All ranges, mass clear, hits heavy if need be. It's very agressive I feel but other than that more well-rounded than I expected.

#

What I expected was a meme, what I got was something that at least kind of works and is actually fun.

strong gulch

Even meme builds from Agent work.

What melee weapon do you like for a ranged staff build to help get the hell out of a swarm or big bad things?

rigid moss
#

DS

#

For the swarm you have the staff

#

If you want to kill it

#

For anything with armor or to dodge away, you have the DS

exotic crane
#

Does enhanced blitz reduce the peril generation?

rigid moss
#

Alternatively use Force Greatsword for Horde Clear but you typically don't need that with normal staff builds. It can be a nice extra.

exotic crane
#

I was struggling to build any peril in an auric mael with assail

rigid moss
jovial juniper

Also adds 2 extra shards to Assail

#

Does nothing to Smite

rigid moss

Smite not interesting enough for maelstrom to affect it

The starting area is indeed designed to be hard

Then it eases up as you advance

rigid moss
#

Yu. The first two areas - the half-open bridge and then the first objective - are over-the-top difficult in comparison to the rest of the game

indigo plank
#

Gloriana’s mid event is harder than the finale

#

Even if you get all the asinine objectives like “knock the ice off the gears” and “search all the cargo containers for batteries” it’s still less of a nightmare than that mid event with the cryonic rods lol

rigid moss
#

Agreed.

indigo plank
#

Kinda like how most failed rolling steel runs die at the double battery objective

rigid moss
#

Which is miles easier than Gloriana

#

I mean, I get that every map has its harder parts and easier parts, that's not so surprising. And not always it's the hard part at the end, I have no problem with that. I just feel like Glorianas early part is miles harder than anything else in the game

#

and consistently so

indigo plank

I feel like chasm station’s logistratum’s first street is either barren and completely empty, or it’s a struggle just to make it down the steps to that first med-station KEKW_ogryn

maybe 1 in 4 missions I get 1-2 guys to help with that

That and nobody kills the one sniper in the way back

Idc if there’s even a battery up top on the second car

I’ll jump across just to loop around and kill the snipers on my way back

So long as the reanimated piles of cartilage on my team can handle the pox and the occasional 2 gunners spawning by the bridge it’ll be okay

VoC is 30s cd -6s for every specialist kill the vet does.

Book is like... 120s?

Also the talent that gives flat cdr instead of cdr%.

Well like if you’re not holding it down between book or shout times you’re not going to make it anyway yea?

gray juniper

or maybe 90, I'm not 100% sure either way

anyways, VoC is much faster than book.

In H40, you get VoC like every 10-15 sec.

theres 2 main builds

Nah they were dissing stealth vet in vet chat but was surprised they diss focus target also

rigid moss
quartz barn
#

shout with blazing for soulblaze spam

rigid moss
#

As a vet it's mostly target prioritisation

marble crater
#

Shriek is just more popular because of soulblaze stacking and because the staff generates a lot of peril

quartz barn
#

or rending for armor shred

#

personally i pref rending with bubble and warp charges

round summit
round summit
#

or u mean the blessing

quartz barn

pretty much ye

wispy bay
quartz barn
#

but i exclusively play h40

static sonnet
marble crater
# round summit

I wouldn't take the rending talent, also pick the left node at the bottom, for charges upon soulblaze kills

quartz barn
#

so i either run inferno or voidblast if theres another psyker o nthe team

#

so i avoid all soulblaze talents to not claim soulblaze ownership

quartz barn
#

but for regular content it doesnt matter too much

round summit
#

mostly doing auric maelstrom but sometimes pushing havoc 25+ with friends

marble crater

#

So PC is bad in all if another psker is using inferno + PC?

whoever applied it first "owns" the dot

so their buffs etc apply

only thing i dont fully know is if soulblaze stacks are capped if i have ownership with voidblast

I still cry because of all the soulblaze he stole from me throwing

strong gulch
#

If doing rendi trauma / VB with an inferno user (havoc assumed), I would not skip PC. Yes you want to generally avoid stealing SB ownership because of buffs, BUT Pygex and I forget who (maybe Zazzy??) did testing and the who buffs SB seems to vary. To what degree? I forget exactly. Still best for inferno to get first app. Note that who buffs and who gets credit for damage is different.

But PC scales with density and doesn't have a cap outside of the global 31. So take PC even on rendi VB even with an inferno user on the team in havocs.

#

That aside, avoid wildfire as the rendi VB user. If you're not doing double bubble, then the inferno should be the one with shriek.

#

But that is if you're min maxing.

Like psykers would ever do that by arguing over the effectiveness of the same talents over and over again clueless

In terms of scoreboard, whoever gets first application of SB owns all subsequent SB damage.

I could put 1 SB stack on something the other psyker put 14 stacks on it and all would be mine.

But buffs apparently work differently.

#

It isn't as straight forwards are ownership.

gray juniper

Still best for inferno to get first app, but that doesn't mean drop PC.
