#

the exshotgun is actually very good

#

what are you doing wrong?

prime elk
#

yeah ex shotgun is def not bad lol

hearty wolf
#

It's rounds reload and it doesn't 1 shot specials on h40 consistently

#

v8 mind you

#

And yet it's kinda crap at range

jovial juniper
#

Yeah Agri best shotgun

#

10/10 would thunk it again

loud girder
#

if mk8 sucks in havoc thats just another havoc L

hearty wolf
#

Fatshark should just make a better game

jovial juniper
loud girder
#

havoc be like yeah 80% of the guns have fked breakpoints now and u have limited ammo so fuck you gigaxi

long wharf
#

and the agri shotgun simply can't do that

loud girder
#

finally someone who gets it

#

arbeetus shotties are for CLEAVING the mfn horde

hearty wolf
#

That doesn't mean it's good

long wharf
#

it is good though

#

it does everything I want it to

#

and well

strong gulch
#

If you have a psyker, let alone 2 of them, infinite cleaving the horde, then sniping specials from far away becomes more valuable.

dull scroll
#

V8 is not bad vs specials but that 4 round mag

#

that thing's pro at armor pen and can kill crushers

long wharf
#

I definitely feel the 4 round limit

hearty wolf
#

Spending time reloading is a dps loss

dull scroll
#

that other 14 shot shotty is the better special killer

long wharf
#

so is getting trapped

long wharf
hearty wolf
#

Trapper has to get within 10m to begin that

#

Jump if you need tp

#

Bolt pistol shits on it

dull scroll
hearty wolf
#

Also what's worse than being trapped is not being able to control multiple flamers and grenadiers

#

which will fuck your psykers

hearty wolf
#

But it's not good still

long wharf
#

I mean, I also run with the dog

dull scroll
#

the dog on the other hand..will "cleave" through anything šŸ˜

loud girder
#

the dog casually jumping 100 meters to grab the sniper is always funny

dull scroll
#

honestly, the best arby gun for specials is that shield pistol

loud girder
#

they didnt bother coding pathfinding for him he just goes YEEET

hearty wolf
#

Is this right

#

Shotgun blessings šŸ˜­

#

I hate them so much

#

If only scatter shot worked on melee šŸ¤”

dull scroll
#

I think it's not deathspitter, it's the dmg on stagger one

hearty wolf
#

I see

#

Either way none of them seem to work on first shot

#

Which is kind of what I want it for lul

long wharf
#

the problem with the agri is that only the special shot does the damage the exshotgun does

jovial juniper
long wharf
#

if you're trying to go mainly ranged, you're going to have a hard time with the exshotgun

hearty wolf
#

Agri doesn't do enough damage for me

#

o well

long wharf
#

flipside is, the agri has to special shot to keep up with exshotgun dps

loud girder
#

put no respite + full bore

#

watch bosses melt

long wharf
#

the agri doesn't do enough damage otherwise

hearty wolf
#

Bolt pistol 2.0 needs to come out šŸ˜­

jovial juniper
#

Will Bolter suffice?

hearty wolf
#

Maybe I'll give it a go

#

Need to check the pull out speed on it

jovial juniper
#

Oh siker doesn't have it psyker_chaos

hearty wolf
#

Boltgun might be okay

#

Pull out time is a bit drab

#

but better ammo economy than the pistol and full auto if you need it for whatever reason

halcyon plover
#

since when

#

agri is regularly 2 or 3-shotting flak gunners on body from any distance

#

without slug shots

weary idol
#

1 or 2 shot you mean

#

It was 1 or 2 shot before being buffed

#

It's absolutely going to be like that now that it has been buffed

halcyon plover
#

for headshots yeah

#

agri is just better at single target and long range and exterminator is better at melting flak/unarmored/maniac hordes

fast prawn
#

Is the pinned EK staff build from march relevant today?

strong gulch
#

It can be updated despite the when a a message was originally posted.

fast prawn
#

thought it would usually say "edited" . thanks for confirming though

strong gulch
#

My side says it is.

golden mica
#

The event is pushing my shit in on psyker sheeeeesh

fast prawn
#

trying to determine blessings for the electro staff

#

oh i had to restart discord - it wasn't taking me to the right spot when i clicked the pin I was confused it was zooping me somewhere random

strong gulch
#

oh yeah it's like that sometimes idk why

is it working now?

fast prawn
#

yeah.

#

sustained fire or warp nex?

strong gulch
#

It's in the pin

"flak + personal pref (unyielding, maniac, elite damage, etc)
warp flurry + warp nexus
dump warp resist
Note that unyielding helps with bulwark, reaper, and monster damage and maniac will help with dreg ragers and specials. Elite only really helps with a scab gunner breakpoint. Crit chance is universal, but a +25% damage perk is preferable."

fast prawn
#

so surge doesn't work with this staff

strong gulch
#

I do flak + unyielding and nexus + flurry

#

surge only works on the primary / M1 / LMB

fast prawn
#

well it works with voidstrike rmb

strong gulch
#

The electric part doesn't work with surge

fast prawn
#

mmk

strong gulch
#

VS is the only staff that surge works on LMB and RMB

fast prawn
#

but you have to click lmb i guess for it to fire with voidstrike heh

#

idk what "dump warp resist" means

#

bc you can't remove that off the weapon

strong gulch
#

dump refers to dump stat

#

Get all other stats to 80 and dump the last one to 60.

#

Sometimes lower depending on the weapon and build.

fast prawn
#

how do you move the % around... have to re-roll entire weapon i guess

strong gulch
#

if it's [x/78] or something like that and you are trying for a perfect weapon then you need to gamble for a new base.

If the desired dump stat is [x/60] with everything else [x/80] then you don't need a new base. Empower and consecrate it. Empowering increases the stats and consecration taste the weapon up to orange where you can have 2 perks and blessings.

#

You'll have to max weapon mastery to get all of the highest tier things.

storm hollow
#

i just had an extremely stupid idea

#

combining both the soulblaze melee build and the scrier gunker build

weary idol
storm hollow
#

i know, i know, but i wonder if i can combine the brain rupture soul blaze with the ranged capabilities to become even more powerful

weary idol
storm hollow
#

yknow what about i just go prove it

#

on a heresy maelstrom cause i dont have havoc or even damnation unlocked and im still wokring on it

narrow herald

#

(cruel misfortune too btw)

strong gulch

#

what

#

yknow what im getting too strung up on myself im just gonna try it and if it works i'll be happy

#

my build not what you sent

strong gulch
#

You said melee SB and SG. It's a meme. So full meme build linked.

#

Do your meme šŸ«”

storm hollow
#

i will rejoice if it is effective

#

this is combining two effective builds

plucky flax
#

Its super strong might make the game too easy

storm hollow
#

maybe putting scrier's instead of the bubble might be the better idea with my soulfire build

sturdy reef
#

its basically cheating

severe folio
#

does anyone know who is tanner lindberg

weary idol
#

(Former?) content creator for darktide infamous in this discord for bad takes and generally being a bit of an egomaniac

checks out

deft stump
#

Not only just bad takes... From what I know.

storm hollow
#

replace nothing else?

sturdy reef
#

I was being sarcastic, that is 100% a meme build lol

#

seems kinda fun, you can swap bubble for scriers if you want

severe folio
weary idol
#

For getting into fights with dataminers over information relating to the game

#

Or something along those lines

severe folio
#

huh

storm hollow
#

idk

sturdy reef
#

people still care about Tanner?

#

why did anyone ever care lol

weary idol
#

Wait no that might have been the Helldivers content creator who was a similarly stupid egomaniac

storm hollow
#

the soulblaze build works but i have half a feeling im missing something

sturdy reef
storm hollow
#

i just lack survivability, i can dish out damage if i play my cards right and douse everybody in flame then go pokey pokey with the duelist's

sturdy reef
#

ur survivability is dodge

#

and that you kill everything

storm hollow
#

aight guess i havent been spamming spacebar enough

Sooo, got to heresy, beat the mission that introduces the karnak twins after like 10 attempts on it, and then tried the event on it and promptly got stomped, I asked for help making builds and feel like I've improved, like how I'm dodging ragers and crushers a lot better but it feels like the pox armor stuff just nukes you no matter what

#

Is this a me thing or is this a "this shit reeks" kinda thing

#

Using blazeforce greatsword and blazeforce staff

gray walrus
#

Events pretty hard yeah

#

Whats extra hard, and something you should avoid if you are struggling, is you can get the event modifier+regular modifiers. Makes the missions really rough

#

don't go melee build

lmao, i blew myself up at max peril ;d

#

didnt know that was a thing

ripe obsidian
#

that is the point of peril

green bronze

yeah makes sense i supose

ripe obsidian
#

Hit max peril, blow up. Edge at 70+ peril, get nice bonuses

plucky flax
#

Game is too hard.

just play a harder difficulty

what does the event do

dapper canopy
radiant frigate
#

oh yay

#

that sounds like great fun

plucky flax
#

It doesn't really do much.

#

And the event is scab only.

#

So a fair bit of crushers and maulers.

deft stump
#

That fart when they die.

#

Totally an event to sell Arby class.

#

Rebreather to be exact.

Sounds like the perfect event for smite, I will do that loregryn

The crusher/mauler spam is worse than them farting on death by a long shot

Anyone got a good recommendation for what Force Sword variant to run? I mostly want it for a Deflector stick, with a good solid poke for singling out elites/specialists with a quick swap if needed

In a sense. I'm a big fan of spitz dogs. Particularly Eurasiers

Not that I will ever have one. Rare, designer dog. And I try not to support breeders when so many animals are in shelters.

what's the current wisdom on laspistols for scriers+bigsword

high dps mark + flakiac + ghost + desperado?

wraith sphinx

ghost isn't necessary if you have emphatic evasion

otherwise sounds fine to me

Is it the high dps thatā€™s the recommended one?

are we talking per second or per shot

gray juniper
#

Itā€™s whatever you want, but forewarning that youā€™re going to run through much more ammo with the number of elites and find yourself dueling elites longer in sticky situations (more liable to be trapped by a specialist in tandem)

lean mural
#

yyyyeah i figured this

i did also take smite (to cc big shit when under pressure and to catch shit i otherwise lack mobility to, mostly) so it might not be that bad

but i did also roll ammo as the dump stat on the pistol :/

radiant frigate
#

anyway i also run unyielding on both bigsword and the reconlas/laspistol secondary personally

#

they are bosskilling tools for range and bigsword franky does not need flak or maniac because it already bullies targets of that size, so may aswell beef up cara/unyielding

#

if boss close, apply bigsword

#

if boss not close or stupid bonbon, generously apply las + burn

plucky flax
#

Apply burn to keep dd stacks.

#

Then bonk the boss with sword.

#

Repeat when burn stack run out.

radiant frigate
#

Yes

spice oar
plucky flax
#

By burn stack and soulblaze yeah. Any dot.

#

On bosses.

gray juniper
#

Didnā€™t know that

plucky flax
#

It's a recent change. Couple months old

if you don't want the responsibility of a pet, that's fine

that's why people do it

its just too much for me

that's fair

everyone has different priorities

ive taken care of cats before i really dont wanna do it long term

long wharf
#

and if I had to manually clean a litter box every day, I wouldn't have a cat, either

I have an automated litter box

I treat my cat like Arby dog.

Point to something like a sniper 90m away outside and before she comes back, I close the door on her so she can enjoy the fresh air

# upper sun its just too much for me

Good, people who aren't ready for a pet shouldn't get one anyway. There are too many idiots who get a pet and then when it's vacation time they ever bring them to a shelter or worse, just abandon them in the woods. Hopefully all those people get whats coming to them, too

upper sun
#

yeah many such cases

long wharf
#

yeah, that behavior makes me irrationally upset

#

I'm not a nature lover, I don't hug trees or think animals are people

hearty wolf

#

but if you take a creature into your home to love and care for, and then dispose of it the second it's not convenient

hearty wolf
#

The constant neglect with pet owners gets something

long wharf
#

I'd rather take that pet and shove it down the owner's throat so they both die without dignity

hearty wolf
#

There was one thing in particular she told me but it's generally so grim, I wouldn't type it here just because it's a trigger warning. The most I'll say was that it was neglect to the point the animal had necrotic flesh

long wharf
#

ugh

#

yeah, don't share

marble crater
#

Owner should get necrotic flesh

thorn cedar
#

So many posts on animal subreddits like "my [pet] has grown a large mass in their stomach in three days and hasn't pooped or moved and blood is pooling from their eyes what should I do" and it's just 1000 people stating the obvious of GO TO A FUCKING VET

#

duel sword blessing recommendations?

long wharf
#

vets aren't cheap

and the sad reality is that it's harder to justify going bankrupt for a pet over, say, a child

at the end of the day, a pet is just an animal

Like all last week Faye had a gunky eye and she kept squinting out of her left. I could pay $1,000 to be certain that it's nothing or I could wait it out to see if anything else happens. I went with the latter and it was basically nothing in the end and she's fine.

long wharf
#

for example - my wife's little dog has all sorts of little pre-cancer bumps in his skin

#

he's 14 though

#

there's no reason to have a vet take a dozen samples

#

he's had a long and happy life

#

he can still do little doggy things

thorn cedar
#

Once it comes down to needing constant treatment and medicine yeah, I'm putting her down.

long wharf
#

and when he can't, he'll go peacefully

#

my wife will be distraught, and I will finally be rid of him

and then, after a little grieving period, we'll probably get the bassett hound puppy we've talked about wanting for years

I did mine on Ascention Riser, near the start where you go over a bridge, there's a gantry on the left hand side, bait the horde there once it appears and you can knock them off.
Also, it doesn't have to just be venting shriek, you can use a force sword and do a block push, it counts.

Or gaze with warp charges for that matter

should i go DD?

i'd like to keep SG

#

If you just want to level up the staff and not use it a lot for the build you can do a standard gunker build and just take the staff instead of gun, so you will mostly melee and assail

trail dagger

wanted to play around with it a bit too, but so far inferno seems like superior choice anyway

The staff generates a lot of peril, it doesn't pair well with gaze

do yall have any tips for survivability? i have 2 health 1 wound curio with a health bonus on all 3 (+55% health total) and all the toughness damage resists in the skill tree but i still feel like i have an effective health of 20. im dodging as often as i can and using a blaze block but it feels barely enough sometimes

analog verge
#

toss the wound curio out for toughness, just more toughness curios

#

more max toughness = you regen more toughness from your toughness talents = you have more toughness to take hits in general

#

dont dodge too much, you have a limited number of effective dodges and once you use them up you'll end up getting hit a lot if you keep trying to dodge

#

its a little under a second before your dodges reset so just give it a bit

gray juniper
pale prairie
#

Dead things can't hurt you

#

probably

strong gulch
#

I'd drop the wound curio. It make health stims less effective and also prevents cleansing auras from doing their job if you're 1 wound down.

Any other curio would help more. Also making sure that you have enough toughness gen, maybe KD, or EE etc in your tree depending on build.

Dodge, block, slide always but also keep an eye on your stamina and effective dodges. If you have a staff, you can quell or charge while sliding. That gives you mobility while doing something that leaves you more vulnerable.

Using cover and remembering where spawn happen on maps help a lot. Learn escape routes, how to kite, or manipulate enemy AI. Try to eliminate potential problems before they become a problem.

What CC tools do you have to suppress, stagger, interrupt, etc enemies so that you can stop them from killing you and facilitate you killing them?

charred hamlet
#

thank you for the tips ill take those into account

im using smite for CC and hoping its enough to help teammates kill them quicker as well. maybe i need to try something else

strong gulch
#

People will actively run from smite.

#

You stand there slowed for one little squirt to wonder up behind you and kill you.

maiden tusk
#

Question. What's the dump stat for the Force Sword? Is it also mobility or should I go for something else?

verbal thistle
#

warp res

strong gulch
#

It's fine to use smite as a quick CC tool, but you have to also kill the stuff. Relying on team, especially in pubs, to kill is a death sentence.

should i swap to assail instead?

@charred hamlet
One thing that doesnā€™t get mentioned a lot, some enemies wonā€™t shoot you through other enemies. So approaching for melee on certain groups provides a buffer zone to reach the intended target behind them. So if you donā€™t have time or position to quell or just donā€™t have time to run, this can work as long as itā€™s the right enemy type. Psychos like flamers or bombers will aim on your regardless

Don't even know if that's a real build, I just heard someone say it.

strong gulch
#

If it's just FGS that you like, it's good enough that it does well on any build. There is more overlap in builds with inferno or VB, but FGS handles crushers and monsters well enough that it doesn't really matter.

gray juniper
#

Itā€™s going to be the meme to end all memes

The closest thing I can think of is something I've seen someone else play as where the Psyker is stronger the less health they have.

What I am referring to is an actual big boom on death because of CW (if it worked differently).

It would be funny as an actual build though.

Every time the Psyker goes down, they get permanently stronger or something.

Inferno struggles against crushers and PF (penetrating flames) will not change that. Illisi also struggles against crushers. Smite has too much overlap and also struggles against crushers. Nothing in this build can handle something at long range. No blaweaway, perfect timing, or psyk's aura is a sad time. Souldrinker is not woth 3 points. There is too much peril mitigation so shrieking at a higher peril and getting back up to a higher peril is gonna take forever.
