And if you smite badly the enemies end up being spread out instead of funneling into a nice killzone where everyone has a nice easy time to kill them

#

People don't like smite because it's often used badly and the people who use it too much play badly

#

You can drop Warp Expenditure and get something more fun, like Warp Splitting and changing the assail node to the refresh one

marble crater
#

More cleave, more often

woeful sigil
#

yeah I just noticed I picked the wrong 1

#

lol

#

warp splitting on empowered psionics ethereal shards is crazy at max peril

zealous wing
#

SG + warp split + fgs = horde clear go brr

#

its fun

woeful sigil
#

I've actually gotten my assail to a point where I can kind of guide a wave of it through ragers and they all just drop dead

#

armoured ones

ripe obsidian
marble crater
#

I think for fun

woeful sigil
#
  • I'm using fire staff that stacks brittleness
#

so that one really hurts

ripe obsidian
#

But only on enemies you have LMB'd 5 times

#

It is a debuff to enemies, not a buff to you

#

Also, Warpfire has insane ADMs already. Brittleness only helps you against carapace

woeful sigil
#

whenever I get an armoured boss like karnak twins it also helps laser them

urban flint
woeful sigil
#

brittleness stacks are honestly saving my ass from waves of crushers + bubble shield bosses

marble crater
#

Not in havoc I will play Elektro and then I have the regular primary fire for long range

ripe obsidian
woeful sigil
#

you can hit them with that so your team just lasers them

#

straight through the armour once bubble goes down

urban flint
marble crater
#

I think I only have one clip where I play kinda normal, the rest is trolling clips, let me check

woeful sigil
#

misread mb

ripe obsidian
#

Sorry, armor type

#

You have to cut through it to hit the flak beneath

woeful sigil
#

it makes it so once the shield goes down

#

their health just DROPS

ripe obsidian
#

Void shield has some weird rules. I don't know them all

#

I'm generally not a fan of Empyric Shock due to the way it work, as I feel it's only useful on bosses with Inferno. Brittleness is more for your team than you

#

I forget the ADM for Soulblaze on flak, but my intuition says 150% or something absurd

#

So brittleness and rending have very limited benefits

wraith sphinx
#

yeah brittleness is for the team, for yourself you want rending

ripe obsidian
#

Rending is also bad on Soulblaze

marble crater
#

@urban flintthis is the closest thing I have

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, 150%

That was also why I clipped that in the first place KEKW_ogryn

zealous wing
#

it was definitely a "wait that was a gun soUND"

urban flint
woeful sigil
#

150 damage - empowered psionics assail
+15% perfect timing
+25% malefic momentum
+30% empyric shock
+30% scrier's gaze
+20% warp rider

combined percentage 120%

150 + 180 = 330 damage assail shard

does my math check out

zealous wing
#

more enemies = more fire

urban flint
woeful sigil
ripe obsidian
#

That is what matters

urban flint
woeful sigil
urban flint
ripe obsidian
#

They specify

#

Some damage increases are additive, some are multiplicative

ripe obsidian
#

I also don't know how assail interacts with crits/finesse

#

Remember as well that Empyric Shock will only count on enemies you have already LMB'd 5 times

marble crater
woeful sigil
#

I ignite a crowd really good then launch it

ripe obsidian
#

Inferno gets much stronger in Havoc

#

Inferno is not amazing with lower enemy density

urban flint
ripe obsidian
solid pond
#

not entirely, you can get buffs from them dying with soulblaze as well as toughness and crits and stuff

ripe obsidian
solid pond
#

but the fire has infinite cleave, you can just spam it into a horde, no matter how thick it will hit all of them

#

I think the only exception is bulwark shields

ripe obsidian
#

If you have few enemies and low density, then you are spending much more time per enemy killed

woeful sigil
ripe obsidian
sterile vale
solid pond
#

BirbNod just not past the bulwark

ripe obsidian
#

The code shows a 100% reduction in ranged damage for the bulwark shield, but it has nothing about stopping the projectile

#

I am not positive, but I am fairly confident on this

solid pond
#

but yeah, as you go up in havoc, its harder to hit multiple enemies through the first, you need more and more cleave, or ways to ignore cleave which is what makes Brutal momentum so useful, it helps kill more things on certain weapons

#

things that ignore it are just strong, inferno and rumbler don't care about hitmass

solid pond
sterile vale
#

I think it might be more accurate to say that Inferno staff retains a lot of its power in higher havocs, while things like the Electro staff hit a wall

woeful sigil
#

I am realizing that warp charges give me more damage than empowered psionics

ripe obsidian
#

I have looked at the code for Bulwarks, and near as I can tell it only reduces ranged damage to 0%, but doesn't stop the projectile b/c inferno doesn't follow carapace cleave rules

woeful sigil
ripe obsidian
#

EP is not amazing for Assail, I believe. Not sure. I usually use DD

sterile vale
#

Assail can crit and does headshots, so DD gives it a considerable amount of bonuses

solid pond
#

neat

#

I always thought it stopped it

#

it definitely does not

wraith sphinx
#

brainburst also benefits from from DD, but keeping up max stacks with Perfectionism is very hard due to bb being so slow to charge compared to shard flicking

urban flint
#

What is.. “EP BB AND PURG”

And “WC with purg as main focus “

wraith sphinx
#

so on my BB DD build I use lingering influence instead

solid pond
wraith sphinx
zealous wing
#

check pins for abbreviation

solid pond

#

purg is short for purgatus, the old name for the inferno

wraith sphinx
#

I thought that said Aussiedemon for a second

ripe obsidian
#

My understanding of Australia is that much of the continent is demonic

marble crater
#

My understanding of Australia is that people confuse it with Austria

ripe obsidian
#

Well, that's silly. Australia is in the middle of Europe and Austria is in the Pacific. They're quite far apart.

#

It is a bit strange that Austrians speak German, given their distance from Germany, but that's probably just colonialism.

marble crater
#

Indeed, Germany is famous for all its colonies

Huntsman spiders are the ones that run like Muppets, yes?

'Ernie Rider, a conservation officer with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service,[16] was slapped in the face and torso with the foliage in 1963, and said:

For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn't work or sleep... I remember it feeling like there were giant hands trying to squash my chest... then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower...There's nothing to rival it; it's ten times worse than anything else.[16]'

I don't have a Tree of Pain gif. So this must suffice

radiant frigate

tiny little needles breaking off in your skin in a sensitive area

#

agony

ripe obsidian
#

Imagine the pain reigniting for years, too.

#

Every time you did anything.

#

Sitting down, even.

radiant frigate
#

it would also probably prompt an all-liquid diet

ripe obsidian
#

Oof. Yeah, probably.

#

How horrific

#

According to the Wikipedia article, the tree also sheds the needles and you can inhale them

solid pond
#

I wanna find one of these trees

#

crush up the needles and snort it

ripe obsidian

You would probably die

I'm actually curious if it would work with FGS cause warp splitting would stop you from getting stuck

Hey I was about to reference the instrument

it was rather roundabout

When I tell people I play bassoon, most people do not know what I mean or think I mean oboe.

Was it FF14 that recently fixed a typo on the credits for whoever played the instrument

marble crater
#

Don't know

wraith sphinx
#

my veteran is so awesome 😤

low sigil
#

Lads I can't decide what's better for the voidstrike staff, flurry or warp nexus (the extra crit with peril)

verbal thistle
#

Nexus because of the surge combo

low sigil
#

Do you use bubble shield or scriers gaze

wraith sphinx
#

I use scrier's gaze, voidstrike is my favourite staff to use SG with

#

also because of the surge combo

low sigil
#

because its either "versatility" (bubble + warp siphon) or pure damage (gaze + disrupt destiny)

wraith sphinx
#

yeah I go for pure damage always

low sigil
#

empowered psionics + assail for extra toughness is also tempting

#

Though max DD stacks are probably gonna hit like crack

wraith sphinx
#

I ran with that loadout when I was still leveling my psyker

#

Haven't ran EP in forever though

low sigil
#

crystalline will is basically mandatory for scriers gaze builds i assume

wraith sphinx
#

nope, it is never mandatory for anything

#

it is just a training wheels talent for people not confident in peril management

verbal thistle
#

Warp unbound is every forgiving

#

You have multiple ways of knowing when to stop using peril

#

For me it's a mentle timer

#

Some watch the buff bar/audio cue/if using mods the ability countdown

low sigil
wraith sphinx
#

for me the max peril sound effect is simply so obnoxiously loud I can't not hear it

verbal thistle
#

Since gaze is 25 sec and it gives you 10 seconds when your ability is at 15 seconds stop using peril

wraith sphinx
#

so I know that's my cue to stop

verbal thistle
#

You can turn it off

#

Peril sfx in one of the settings

wraith sphinx
#

accessibility settings

#

and not sound settings for some reason

verbal thistle
#

Yeah

#

Yeah

low sigil
#

If there was an option to make peril sound even louder I'd take it

wraith sphinx
#

yup

#

I set mine to 40%

#

it's still really loud but loud just enough I can always hear it

low sigil

I'll test out the crack cocaine cryker

btw anyone up for a quick game rn?

i like peril fx making it impossible to know whats going on

toughness per peril regenned + DD is just me infinitely getting toughness

#

which is better, 25 stacks or 10 second stacks?

jovial juniper
#

25 is better because 25>10

low sigil
#

cant argue with that

jovial juniper
#

10 seconds is better because you have really high uptime

So yeah

10 seconds is recommended

What's the hourglass map with the wide open area where you need to run to the stairs and then take the lift?

Also Silo Cluster with a team that doesn't push ahead

ye that map start can be rough on auric maelstrom even

silo cluster is prob my least fav map

I like Silo Cluster as a map, my least favorites are the Hourglass maps KEKW_ogryn

putting any of the assassination maps anywhere but in s tier disqualifies you from making tier lists btw

vernal frost

thats the point!!!

upper sun
#

i dont need plasteel anymore idc

vernal frost
#

the only issue with them that the fight itself is a pushover and you dont get to enjoy the soundtrack

#

they need to rework them into verminttide bossfights

upper sun
#

theres a sound track?

#

tbh

#

they are kinda hard solo

#

i've never been able to clutch one if my team dies

vernal frost

its doable but harder on magistrati

not putting archivum and warren is s tier is also disqualifying

I like Dreyko. It's fast and frantic and barely lets up. Done in 20-ish minutes even in H40

wraith sphinx
#

not because it's exceptionally difficult or anything, but because it's the most painful map to do with randoms

ripe obsidian
#

This is true

I usually don't have issues. If an H40 team can get to the finale, they usually do well

wraith sphinx

it's also the map I ended up clutching on the most, to the point it's barely even fun anymore

ripe obsidian

That's why I put Oblivium in D. I have played it and saved it too many times

A lot of my low ranked maps are ones I am just sick of

wraith sphinx

yeah understandable

#

I put excise vault in D for the same reason KEKW_ogryn I genuinely didn't miss that map being out of rotation

ripe obsidian
#

Dark Communion just frustrates me because the entire fucking map is 100m open spaces

#

Like, please. Let me move without being shot from a mile away

#

Excise Vault is hard, but mostly feels fair. To me, at least. I like the challenge. I do not like that the great filter is past the mid event. People just lose their minds in the hangar rooms.

They hole up in a corner and lose a war of attrition rather than forcing forward to better ground

wraith sphinx
#

I dislike how people faff about instead of opening the vaults and carrying the capsules in the finale

ripe obsidian
#

That's rarely an issue for me. Again, if a team can get past the filter that is the hangars, they're usually on point for the finale

wraith sphinx
#

yeah, I suppose. I mean, with an actually good team every map is at least A tier, but my own list is based on my experiences with auric quickplay/auric maelstrom with pubs

#

with possibly the lone exception of rolling steel, which I like it so much it's fun even when we lose over bs reasons

ripe obsidian
#

I only really play Auric with folks from the Discord for events

#

Otherwise I bash my head against H40

wraith sphinx
#

I more or less exclusively play auric, both alone and with folks from here

#

basically lost interest in havoc after grinding out the 53rd armor sets during havoc 1.0

plucky flax
#

Play poe2

#

More grinding

#

Wait until new contents for dt (probably December)

wraith sphinx
#

incredibly tedious

#

plucky flax
#

Tru

#

Poe2 is actually good compared to diablo tho

plucky flax
#

Yep

#

Especially poe2

#

The wasd movement is so clean

#

I dunno if d4 has it or not

#

Can't go back to poe1 with old graphics and mouse movement

summer prairie
#

Sycorax and Hab Dreyko are the worst maps

#

well Rolling Steel is worse

upper sun
#

darktide is a better representation of psykers than most of 40k

#

every other ability is unique to the user

obtuse dome
#

Get tf outta here

summer prairie
#

it's just nothingness except for like two parts

#

same with dreyko

wraith sphinx
zealous wing
#

true

#

theres definitely SOME depressing things, because, 40k, but it seems pretty tame

wraith sphinx
#

The lore kind of beats you over the head with how incredibly miserable and painful of an existence it is

quartz barn
#

Its also because most of the lore that includes them is told from a perspective thats at least distrustfull of them

wraith sphinx
#

Yup

#

As always with all things imperial, the line between objective fact and in-universe propaganda is highly blurred

quartz barn
#

Same thing in sm2

#

Psyker in the main story summons the main villain (probably unintentionally but still), and the psykers in the new mission literally summon a voidbeast

radiant frigate
#

have not played it since

wraith sphinx
#

but now it's pretty bad

#

I've had fun with both havocs, except when it's on rituals

Whenever someone invents teleportation that doesn't Cronenberg you, I will be so relieved. Air travel sucks.

Not that I expect teleportation to be invented, but I can dream.

fathom zenith
#

a hadron that almost cares about us enough to have us taxidermied? uwugryn future map dialogue maybeh?

zealous wing
#

idk but i found the dreg mauler line ingame, managed to catch it

#

once i heard it i knew its been said many times

fathom zenith
#

pogryn thought I was going crazy

zealous wing
#

i just never realised

#

it took me long enough to know which were scabs vs dregs

fathom zenith
#

male loner, right?

zealous wing
#

this mightve been a cause

#

and yes

fathom zenith
#

I can die in peace, been wondering if I imagined it for ages

zealous wing
#

its also not the only voice calling them dregs

#

also i cant be the only one, the names are confusing

#

scabs look like they should be dregs and dregs look like they should be scabs

#

like, imagine being 100% new to the game, and someone asks you which ones are scabs, you'd probably pick the group with all the visible sickly/rotting skin

#

not the armoured ones

#

even now my brain is gaslighting me into thinking i have it backwards again

dusk timber
#

Just like how karien tries to gaslight us into thinking she doesnt carry

wraith sphinx
#

oh yeah that reminds me, I finally managed to screenshot the entirety of my favourite convo in tide

#

this always cracks me up

#

bodyguard ogryn and savant psyker ofc

zealous wing
#

idk, i think the
"i used to count my scars, now there's too many" - ogryn
"I didn't know you could count" -vet
i have it poorly clipped, lemme find

#

not favourite but its up there

sterile vale
#

"I envy you big man, you don't care about the scars on the inside" Guarded

wraith sphinx
#

also yesterday while playing the karnak twins mission I healed a bit of my missing hp using the medicae station and one brawler ogryn reacted with "Wot you healin, pimples?"

zealous wing
wraith sphinx
#

heh

zealous wing
#

its not like, outright funny but its so out of character

wraith sphinx
#

also I realized there's at least a couple conversation topics from arbites that the savant psyker has no asnwering lines to Sitgryn

zealous wing
#

it does also depend

#

some things stop the convo

wraith sphinx
#

this happened repeatedly while out of combat though

#

so I think it's either bugged or the lines are missing

zealous wing
#

maybe someone else is supposed to reply?

wraith sphinx
#

🤷‍♂️ I was the only psyker on the team most of the time it happened

#

one of the lines was "misplaced superiority is common amongst psykers" and other was "did your family disavow you when your powers were revealed"

zealous wing
#

i shall keep them in the back of my mind so if there's ever a reply i will clip it for you

#

f savant is fairly common

#

and, ofc arby's are too

wraith sphinx
#

appreciated

So. Attempting to go for a Scrier's Gaze build. Is it possible to play it like a metronome? Supporting your team with say, Bio Lightning or helping clear hordes with Assail. Play Psyker as a normal ranged boi and then just pop Scriers Gaze, pull out your sword and go off?

cursive tiger
#

Yes! Thats what I do

#

I’m a little more sword based but that’s basically my play style as of now

marble crater
cloud oar
#

its a very

#

strange build

#

gonna take some getting used to

#

a lot of getting used to

marble crater
#

Despite the name it's mostly melee and assail and then gun for elites and bosses

cloud oar
#

Yeah, use the sword, scriers gaze, spam assail when gaze ends

#

Do you use assail between gazes at all?

cursive tiger
#

I do

marble crater
#

You use assail between melee attacks as well, to help clear and keep peril high

cursive tiger
#

But usually if it’s a horde I just swing my sword allot

marble crater
#

throw assail, melee a few times, throw assail again

marble crater
#

Do you know how many months it would take to add this?

upper sun
#

whats 41k years in months?

marble crater
#

492.000 months

upper sun
#

add 1 to that

marble crater
upper sun
#

thats how long itll take

marble crater
#

See you then

cloud oar
#

generall what im doing is

#

Assail to engage, swing sword, the second i have nothing in melee, toss out a few more shards

#

scriers gaze, I use mostly melee, use gun if I need ranged damage or special clear, then spam assail at 100% peril

#

its definitely taking some getting used to though. I'm used to zealot melee where im just immortal

#

what weapons should I look to for getting lots of crits on the Gaze build?

marble crater
#

Greatsword is your best melee option.
Vraks and reconlas for ranged

cloud oar
#

torrent or rapid fire?

#

for recon las

wraith sphinx
#

torrent

buoyant maple
cloud oar
#

Got it

#

uhh question

#

what's the difference?

#

Between the two torrents?

buoyant maple
#

VIc shoots slower with higher damage per shot and better ADM vs unyielding

#

XII shoots almost twice as fast as VIc but is peashooter with worse handling

wraith sphinx
#

VIc also has the least spare ammo capacity I think

cloud oar
#

So which would be better for using it more often?

buoyant maple
buoyant maple
cloud oar
#

got it

buoyant maple
#

The choice doesn’t matter that much

cloud oar
#

right now im still leveling so

#

the Vraks is my best option

buoyant maple
#

Neither is as high direct dps scaling as Vraks V inf auto

cloud oar
#

just got one for mission reward

buoyant maple
#

They’re more for infernus crit procs

cloud oar
#

inf auto?

wraith sphinx
#

infantry autogun

buoyant maple
#

And lower recoil so easier to use

cloud oar
#

ah

#

Yeah I'm using the Vraks right now so just stick with that?

wraith sphinx
#

what blessings you got on it

cloud oar
#

none atm just leveling

buoyant maple
#

That’s the highest dps gun psyker has

cloud oar
#

trying to find a way to not hate psyker

#

and i think scriers gaze is it

wraith sphinx
#

🤝

cloud oar
#

bio lightning makes me feel like a paste eater and soulblaze is TOO consistent

#

I feel like I'm always going a steady 60mph

wraith sphinx
#

yeah smykering is kind of psychically damaging for everyone involved

#

even when I use it right I still feel the brainrot creeping in

buoyant maple
#

It’s always based and justified to hate psyker

cloud oar
#

Smyker is what I like for when Im trying to carry dummies who do not understand that Crusher Hammer + Cranium = Rescue

wraith sphinx
#

so I just stick to assail or brainburst

cloud oar
#

oh hey i got the Keep Your Distance penance

#

3 missions without an elite hitting me

#

neat

wraith sphinx
#

very nice

cloud oar
#

gun psyker is the way

strong gulch
#

Psyker feels bad while leveling.

cloud oar
#

yeah leveling you basically just go bubble and assail

strong gulch
#

Staves are bad until high investment.

cloud oar
#

and thats ur class

wraith sphinx
#

I went shriek and assail while leveling lol

#

shield always felt boring for me

#

it was the very last psyker penance I did too

cloud oar
#

im a support main so

#

i run shout vet, chorus zealot and taunt ogryn

wraith sphinx
#

valid but the best way to support in darktide is by killing 🧠

dusk timber
strong gulch
#

Shriek has a lot of utility. Its push can stagger and interrupt enemies, even through walls and floors (if positioned correctly).

dusk timber
#

Also some scriers gaze too

#

But mostly shriek

strong gulch
#

Undog a teammate in another room.

wraith sphinx
#

does unupgraded shriek knock back enemies? I forgot

strong gulch
#

yes

#

the push scales off peril

dusk timber
#

Its pretty much the one thing downgraded shriek does

cloud oar
#

scriers gaze feels

#

fucking amazing

#

What blessings are good for the Autogun?

wraith sphinx
#

I use dumdum and fire frenzy

#

call it the Bosskiller Special chadgryn

buoyant maple
cloud oar
#

okay so Dum Dum is

#

not an option

#

you take Dum Dum

#

and then Fire Frenzy or Deathspitter; both work great?

wraith sphinx
#

it doesn't really matter until you reach max level and get a 500 rank iag with the best dump stat

#

but afaik yes

cloud oar
#

hm

#

my 370 rolled

#

Dum Dum/Terrifying Barrage III

#

i am... Not complaining

wraith sphinx
#

terrifying barrage blows but again it's whatever

buoyant maple
#

Usually

cloud oar
#

Dum Dum III is what I care about

buoyant maple
#

Because str is a separate bracket from dmg in calculating total damage

#

And u usually can get a lot of +damage but not much +str

cloud oar
#

wait

#

why not Dum Dum/Raking Fire

#

for just absolutely shitting on bosses

buoyant maple
#

Because the only boss u can consistently hit weakspot from behind is BoN

cloud oar
wraith sphinx
#

you will almost never get a good opportunity to shoot enemies in the back in this game

buoyant maple
cloud oar
#

yeah ive noticed that with my revolver

#

its the difference between 1 tapping and 3 tapping

quartz barn
#

Recon las moment

Collateral is not worth on recon Lasgun right? Best to just double down on mobility?

Or play gunker but exclusively use fgs

ill have you know i have a 100% clutch rate on smelter

quartz barn
wraith sphinx
#

That railing was a lexbreaker

pale prairie
upper sun
#

legit have 2 clutches there on my computer

zinc phoenix
#

smelter is definitely the easiest end event to clutch

#

you just have to not run thru the open where a billion shooters hang out and you can easily go get the downed people

upper sun
#

it has nice big areas for kiting

#

and the last event is also very fun to solo

wraith sphinx
#

I clutched the most on hab dreyko

#

Idiots love to get flung off the map at that one point before the final stretch to the phage tree

radiant frigate
pale prairie
wraith sphinx
#

oh and getting stuck on stairs before that and dying there to boss/rager/crusher sandwich

radiant frigate
#

you're all bulletproof

pale prairie
wraith sphinx
#

not with that attitude

upper sun
zinc phoenix
#

ive legit won that event after doing six clutches in a row on a sniper map because they kept going down like crazy

#

eventually... i just did the event solo 😂

pale prairie
radiant frigate
zinc phoenix
#

the path by the exit is very safe, a little dodge sliding gets you there

#

and then the entire rest of the way after the short sprint from the far side is all underground with no los

#

its the route past the med station or thru the center that is very dangerous

pale prairie
zinc phoenix
#

tell them to die for more ammo

pale prairie
radiant frigate
#

protip: get downed for free health when picked up

zinc phoenix

this is propaganda for my teammates

"KD sucks" is a take by wimpy wizards who don't want you to find out about the power of sword wizard

Ok

Yeah let's just put this side note aside and move on with our lives

Its a side node to increase your survivability if you have spare points for it yeah

That's what I said

Wait, you are saying that PC is for survivability?

cosmic cobalt

pc?

#

no?

wispy bay

You guys were talking about PC being side talent point, then now saying it is for survivability.

I mean, it is true that if all elite and special are dead, you have better survivability...

Oh due to Mk2 h2 it should have a better horde clearing prowess than Mk4 and mk5

alot i mean

Almost every strong thing about psyker needs some stacking first to do anything meaningful anyway.

cosmic cobalt
#

because it was elite '

pale prairie
marble crater
jovial juniper
marble crater
#

It's called dueling for a reason whatthefuck_heresy

jovial juniper
#

Which makes Mk2 the best dueling sword because it has the strong stab and better horde clear than mk4

marble crater
#

Blocked

jovial juniper
#

For when you need to duel 4 poxxers

marble crater
#

Go horde clear then, without gaze staregryn

jovial juniper
#

Notice how you have to put restrictions on what I should do

#

#nooticing

jovial juniper
#

Or 2 ragers

#

Not that you use lights for Ragers

#

Heavy stabs are 1.5 clv

marble crater
#

Because with gaze it's somewhat acceptable, but then again you can pick a better horde clear melee and do even better

jovial juniper
#

While true
I'm comparing Mk2 horde clearing with Mk4 and 5

#

And Mk2 comes out on top

marble crater
#

Yeah Sitgryn

jovial juniper
#

Anyways I think Fatshark should nuke the 4.5 cleave on lights

Make it 0.001

Truly dueling

But don't change nothing else
