I suppose with full build and proper perks?

jovial juniper
#

The core blessing is surgical

obtuse dome
sturdy reef
#

It deletes ranged and specials on havoc

#

A d you dont need a ton of ammo

hazy birch
#

Yea I get that but other guns feel strong despite being low level. Like combat shotgun or braced auto rifle

sturdy reef
#

Its extremely ammo efficient

jovial juniper
#

Also Mk4 is THE HARDEST HITTING RANGED WEAPON in the game

obtuse dome
#

Good vet guns are recon las bolters plasma and the autoguns

sturdy reef
#

Faster charge rate too

#

Yes

quartz garnet
sturdy reef
#

Mk IV helbore can slap around carapace and unyielding easily

hazy birch
#

Yea I want to try the plasma

obtuse dome
hazy birch
#

Only real reason I'm making the class tbh

hazy birch
sturdy reef
#

Surgical and the charge rate one

obtuse dome
#

Level the heavy boltgun and the power sword

quartz garnet
sturdy reef
#

It actually benefits from MMF unlike plasma as well

quartz garnet
#

Insane

obtuse dome
hazy birch
sturdy reef
#

Has enough cleave to get thru to specials in a horde

quartz garnet
obtuse dome
hazy birch
#

I want all my classes to be distinct in some way

obtuse dome
#

Exe stance gives u very good stability

#

And u can just chain headshot after headshot easiyl

hazy birch
#

Hmm

quartz garnet
#

Feels awesome everything just dies so fast even underleveled

obtuse dome
#

And its almost infinite as long as i get a kill in 8 secs to refresh

hazy birch
#

Yea I mean cuz bolter lol

quartz garnet
#

And smoke gives you free reign to do whatever you want

hazy birch
#

I usually run bolt pistol on my zealot and spearhead on my arbites

obtuse dome
#

I would take kraks so u dont have to waste ur bolter on carapace

hazy birch
deft stump
quartz garnet
#

Krak is awesome for ogryns

hazy birch
#

So the next time 40 crushers bum rush me in an elevator I can just laugh it off

obtuse dome
quartz garnet
obtuse dome
#

Also u get very good nade regen

quartz garnet
#

60 sec as well as an additional charge

obtuse dome
#

One every minute and a chance to get one on special kill

hazy birch
#

There was no stealthing past that lol

quartz garnet
#

Can't play it

#

Mb

obtuse dome
#

Stealthbis the hardest ability to use on vet

hazy birch
#

But yea idk how far I'll take it but I gave up on him pretty early last time and want to try to give the class a fair shake before completely writing it off

sturdy reef
#

Run DBS WS

#

Its fun

hazy birch
hazy birch
sturdy reef
#

Lmao

obtuse dome
#

Nein man

sturdy reef
#

Dual barreled shotgun and weapon specialidy

#

Specialist

hazy birch
#

Ew

obtuse dome
#

Can be pretty broken

sturdy reef
#

Melee vet is good lol

hazy birch
#

Double barrel too slow

sturdy reef
#

Wut

obtuse dome
sturdy reef
#

U dont have to reload

#

Ever

hazy birch
obtuse dome
sturdy reef
#

Go look at what weapon specialidt and its modifiers do

#

No

dusk wren
#

what do you mean crit

#

isn't it after a melee kill

hazy birch
#

I mean are you assuming 100% crit chance?

#

Like even 80% seems unreasonable

sturdy reef
#

U can get 100

#

After 3 melee kills

#

Lol

hazy birch
sturdy reef
#

Bro doesnt want to read

hazy birch
#

I'm gonna rename that character "shooty mcbangbang" so nobody dares to suggest that much melee to me again

#

But seriously if I'm gonna attempt this class it's going to be extremely gun focused

#

Melee gonna be a real SHTF situation

vivid loom
#

You can get one bullet back in chamber with one melee kill and swap

#

DB insanely fun bc of it on vet

#

And then yeah general use 3 stack for 100% crit

#

Wait I’m in psyker chat wtf

quartz barn
#

On overwatch gameplay aside, this is still a step above vet chat

sturdy reef
#

Lol

#

Idk why we are talking bout vet here neither

sick wing
#

Alright I unlocked the flame staff what’s the play now

jovial juniper
#

Blaze Away

sturdy reef
#

Press rmb

quartz barn
#

Trying to post a gif as a grey name is not the play

hazy birch
#

IDK maybe it's an option to explore. But I've heard vet has a lot of ammo efficiency built into his kit so running gun primary is actually viable. Such is my understanding anyways

vivid loom
#

I thought you guys just twinkle fingers everything and blow yourselves up

sick wing
#

I’ve only blown myself up once

vivid loom
#

And then I run into John psyker himself and he’s the most insane player

hazy birch
quartz barn
#

Cant be me because im washed now Sitgryn

sick wing
#

psyker seems like the most fun class by far

#

Maybe I’ll try zealot or ogryn

royal totem
#

Vets still can run out of ammo. They just run out of it less than others

dusk wren
#

maybe 2 years ago that was the case

hazy birch

#

i am not trying to sell you the grind

ripe obsidian
#

It's not great for game health.

sick wing
ripe obsidian
#

We'll see if the December update does any rebalancing

ripe obsidian
#

I don't go to veteran chat

dusk wren
#

they will nerf voice of command

royal totem
#

Psyker needs buff

ripe obsidian
#

I am literally the guy who wrote the guide on Psyker builds.

Kinda lame

Dogxplosion

dusk wren
#

i hope they finally buff brainburst's speed

hazy birch
#

But yea psyker the only one with actually interesting blitz abilities

hazy birch
ripe obsidian
#

Oh my lord, it's 14°C today. It's a miracle.

#

Funny, was my fav Havoc build when I was using lots of psyker

quartz garnet
ripe obsidian
#

Proper autumn weather

ripe obsidian
quartz garnet
#

Scrier just lets you unhinge while giving you a dmg buff

hazy birch
#

My build I'm practically flying around throwing knives, incinerating faces with a recon and mowing the grass with a claymore while at 100% peril about 95% of combat time.

ripe obsidian
#

Scrier's Gaze is an absurd ability.

royal totem
#

Sounds like nice weather

hazy birch
#

This build is so fun it's crazy

quartz garnet
#

Flame staff is hard with it. Electric is better for armored

young cliff
quartz garnet
#

Otherwise armored enemies become a problem

tulip kettle
#

i gotta say vet is actually extremely strong rn too, the margin between psyker and vet has narrowed somewhat since the latest round of balancing

hazy birch
#

Nah what this recon does to bosses and pretty much anything not carapace, I'll never run a staff on it

#

My only issue is armor

quartz garnet
tulip kettle
#

but yes, scriers gaze is overtuned.

royal totem
#

@ripe obsidian can you gimme obscurus comboes?

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

the issue is they keep buffing scriers because it has low pick rates in havoc

hazy birch
#

It's perfect

hazy birch
tulip kettle
#

but they dont understand that no matter how much they buff scriers, until it gives you defense against overtuned ranged enemies it wont ever match the other 2 skills for pick rate

ripe obsidian
#

Should be this

royal totem
#

Ty ty

hazy birch
#

They should make bubble a deployable nade instead of an ability

#

Fix all the groaning

tulip kettle
#

the real issue is they need to nerf ranged enemies in havoc and then down tune scriers

ripe obsidian
#

But don't you enjoy a single basic shooter instakilling you?

young cliff
hazy birch
#

All this talk about nerfing scriers is sounding like heresy. Ijs

quartz garnet
tulip kettle
#

what im saying is scriers has been buffed to the extent there is no reason to pick anything else outside of havoc really

young cliff
quartz garnet
#

Am i correct in my assessment?

tulip kettle
#

and in havoc you will never pick it because of the ranged enemies

tulip kettle
tulip kettle
#

shriek is great

#

bubble is great

dusk wren
#

shriek still better for vent

hazy birch
#

Cuz it's really just a safety tool for people that don't want to run the crack ability

tulip kettle
#

but scriers is just better for 99% of builds outside of havoc

dusk wren
#

which is why scrier should be buffer another time to also spread fire

young cliff
#

Vent now instakill enemies in the center of your screen, like Moses cutting the sea and some sheep

tulip kettle
#

and in havoc, it doesnt give you any defense against the ranged stalkers being overtuned

ripe obsidian
#

Dom, I have decided to drop all 3 smol toughness nodes in favor of revive speed. I lose 12 toughness, taking me from 120 to 108, but I think that revive speed is more likely to save a game than 10% more toughness.

tulip kettle
#

i dont disagree with it

dusk wren
#

i wonder what the next scrier buff is going to be

hazy birch
#

Yea once you get used to how scriers works and how to abuse it, why use vent? I suppose if you are specifically a soul blaze build and want to use it's synergy?

quartz garnet
young cliff
hazy birch
#

Yea but the best cc is death

ripe obsidian
hazy birch
#

Just juice yourself to the limit and kill everything

tulip kettle
# young cliff My bet is for Build in EE

but for real thats all there is to it. between yellow stimms and cranial, having unsupressable basic shooters that shoot 40 round bursts just means you need a tool to deal with them

tulip kettle
#

so SG just wont match the pick rates of the other 2 abilities in havoc

#

they nerf that, they can rebalance everything else

#

but FS dont play their own game

#

outside of malice

ripe obsidian
#

My true fear is that Fatshark will remove or significantly nerf EE. Which would be sad.

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

and this is also incorrect

#

you have said this before

#

if you make EE damage negation

#

you need to stack it with all the other damage negation

#

or else it just does nothing in the situations where you need it to

young cliff
#

Damage reductions you mean?

tulip kettle
#

yes whatever

#

reduction and negation are synonyms

young cliff
#

Because I mean that it would make so you only take 50% of the ranged damage and from that you apply any damage reduction you have

tulip kettle
#

yes i am aware of what you mean

#

and im saying, unless you stack it with other DR it doesnt do anything

hazy birch
#

in all my years ive never seen a game, ever, that had multiple build options to choose from, where everything was unanimously considered to be "balanced". and the ones that came close, balanced the soul right out of the game and everything was boring.

tulip kettle
#

going from dying in 0.3 to 0.6 seconds is not a meaningful increase

young cliff
#

But what would be the adequate time then? Because o feel that not dying at all isn't that healthy either

tulip kettle
#

it isnt not dying at all

ripe obsidian
#

I do feel the big mistake of this recent rework was giving Psyker so much damage resist and toughness regen, and making it so accessible. The glass cannon class is now Vet instead of Psyker, but Psyker does no less damage than before. More, even.

young cliff
#

We used to ble GLASScannons, now we just cannons

tulip kettle
#

EE relies on procs. Unless you have a weapon like recon las that can reliabily crit at least once per second, you will miss a proc and die

ripe obsidian
#

If JaD were moved to just below DD, it might be better. Not sure on the toughness regen bit.

tulip kettle
#

i think JaD is currently broken

ripe obsidian
#

Or just above, whatever

tulip kettle
#

ainz demonstrated this the other day with the overhead clips

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah. It's too good to be so accessible

tulip kettle
#

it says damage reduced is converted to peril, but thats not strictly true

young cliff
#

JaD let you survive overheads from crushers?!

tulip kettle
#

if you stack every single bit of DR in the tree

ripe obsidian
#

Damage is converted to peril up to 97%, no?

tulip kettle
#

and are at 96% peril

#

yeah thats not quite accurate

#

if you gain even 0.01% peril

#

you get the full 25% DR

#

for all of the damage

summer prairie
#

that's not broken, it's intended

#

well, I can't know for sure

#

but based on the code

young cliff
#

Still quite strong

tulip kettle
#

yeah maybe its intended but its a broken intraction and not how its worded

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

so as i was saying, if you are on 96% peril, you gain 25 additive DR against the full damage of the attack

#

where you should just resist 4% damage

summer prairie
#

it only stops working once you hit critical peril, you take the damage flat instead of in steps

young cliff
#

Idk, that sounds like a coding nightmare to adjust

tulip kettle
#

yes i know thats what im saying

#

it just means that, JaD is far too strong when already at high peril

young cliff
#

Should only trigger under 50% peril?

tulip kettle
#

if you are at 25% peril, and take 100 dmg

#

you gain 25% peril and take 75 damage

#

if you are at 96% peril

#

you gain 1% peril and take 75 damage

#

thats not how it should work

summer prairie
#

well how much peril you gain at that point is kind of moot

tulip kettle
#

you should gain 1% peril and take 96 damage

hazy birch
tulip kettle
#

?

patent mango
#

i think they can lower warp expenditure a little to like 12.5% and EE could be high ranged dr instead of immunity
then probably nerf some of the inf cleave stuff

tulip kettle
#

i think you dont understand what i just said.

summer prairie
#

if would be trash if it worked as you propose

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
hazy birch
#

I get what you're saying but the only way that would actually be detrimental to them is is if the growth bypassed the safety net and instantly killed them

tulip kettle
#

and would mean that your peril is a resource to be managed

patent mango
summer prairie
#

I think how it currently works is closer to the description

tulip kettle
#

instead of, "be at 96"

#

"damage taken is converted into 25% peril"

young cliff
#

ObeseFish can't fix stuff without breaking the game in the process

ripe obsidian
hazy birch
#

I know before last night I thought critical peril was when it went red

tulip kettle
#

yeah inferno is fine

hazy birch
#

I didn't know 97 was the break point

tulip kettle
#

its the uncanny interaction that makes it broken

#

and zealots can do the same thing with stronger DoTs

#

they just, dont

summer prairie
#

umm

#

the flamer dot goes away quick

#

and you dont have shriek or pc

tulip kettle
#

yes but they can also stack bleed at the same time

#

16 stacks of fire + bleed with uncanny is obscene

young cliff
summer prairie
#

yeah like 1s of burn

tulip kettle
#

but, i dont disagree with increasing the linger time of burn and bleed DoTs

#

and also buffing flamer ammo to be more efficient

young cliff
#

Also yeah, uncanny strike needs a stop

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

again inferno doesnt need any nerfs

#

its literally fine

#

its just the uncanny interaction and burn and bleed being worse DoT's than soulblaze

#

buff burn and bleed linger

ripe obsidian
#

Uncanny needs a nerf and Blaze Away might need a nerf.

tulip kettle
#

dont nerf soulblaze

#

blaze away is honestly fine

#

its not meaningful into the part where soublaze is broken - into carapace

hazy birch
#

Bleed already seems pretty strong. Hits hard. Just have to keep applying it

ripe obsidian
#

Burn and bleed last a shorter time and do higher damage than soulblaze.

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

yes but the stack decay is 1 second instead of 8

#

make it 5 seconds and it becomes much more useable

#

and nerf the uncanny interaction with DoTs

young cliff
#

Dots like that are to cripple swarms anyway, you don't need uncanny for that part

tulip kettle
#

thats the point, yes

#

it means they are still just as functional as they are now into the targets they are meant for

#

but dont allow you to delete armour blobs

quartz barn
#

Arent there also more armored spawns now?

tulip kettle
#

technically less

quartz barn
#

Feels like it atleast

tulip kettle
#

but rot armour means theres more

young cliff
#

Modifiers favor caparace this time

tulip kettle
#

and in the event theres more

young cliff
#

Yeah

ripe obsidian
#

Also, make scab ragers carapace for the purposes of DoTs.

deft stump
tulip kettle
#

its not tbh

young cliff
#

Which should make fire staff weaker

tulip kettle
#

outside of rot armour modifier

#

you see far more rager and shotgun packs

young cliff
deft stump
tulip kettle
#

yeah they have carapace bodies

#

but its coded as flak specifically for DoTs

ripe obsidian
young cliff
tulip kettle
#

yeah seems they just forgot to change it idk

quartz barn
#

Having a field day on arbi tho, stunlocking 10+ crushers and bullwarks at once

deft stump
#

Why I joke about maybe 1 less crusher per mission.

#

MAYBE.

tulip kettle
#

the event also causes more armour spawns i think. For me, outside of rot armour, there are noticeably fewer crushers in havoc than previously

young cliff
deft stump
summer prairie
#

Enemies have default armor class and hitzone overrides. Scab rager is and was flak by default. They only changed center mass override to cara but dots don't use center mass for adm

tulip kettle
#

yeah precisely, scab rager needs carapace as default

ripe obsidian
#

I think center mass and torso

#

But yes

tulip kettle
#

but it still wont matter

#

while uncanny interaction exists

young cliff
#

It's all uncanny's fault

tulip kettle
#

so thats why i said all the stuff i said. Buff the other DoTs to have longer stack decay, nerf uncanny interaction, and suddenly psyker is on par with the other classes

ripe obsidian
#

I mean, I think it's the fault of having one armor type out of 8(?) that actually impacts the game in a meaningful way

#

Which makes Uncanny necessary, especially on rotten armor

tulip kettle
#

i also happen to think

young cliff
#

Maybe soulfire should be nerfed, but we need uncanny gone first

ripe obsidian
#

And Uncanny gives like 125% rending

tulip kettle
#

that if they do these changes

#

havoc becomes almost unplayable with current modifiers and spawn rates

#

40 with rot and purple, how do you deal with that much armour without this interaction

young cliff
#

Stims seriously are a blight, how a rager can tank more than a crusher

tulip kettle
#

blue bulwarks also very fun.

deft stump
young cliff
tulip kettle
#

but, look at the video chaos posted yesterday

ripe obsidian
young cliff
tulip kettle
#

the guy literally says "i didnt think it was possible to kill that much armour"

young cliff
swift stag
#

Git gud guy is out beloved

ripe obsidian
#

Blue stims in general are awful. The rest are... okay

young cliff
#

It was NOT a fun piñata

deft stump
hazy birch
#

What is the best melee in the game at demolishing crushers?

ripe obsidian
#

Blue crusher is better than others, since it's already carapace. So it doesn't get the carapace override that makes it that much harder to kill

young cliff
deft stump
#

It's either unsupressable reaper horde or rot crusher walls.

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

oh but, unsupressable reaper walls are fine karien, didnt you hear?

marble crater
hazy birch
#

Was thinking overall

tulip kettle
#

we could just make EE do ranged damage reduction instead of immunity and there will be no problems at all

young cliff
hazy birch
#

But ds? Really?

marble crater
marble crater
royal totem
#

He doesnt like DS

young cliff
hazy birch
#

I just didn't feel it did THAT much damage to crushers

#

And no I'm not a huge fan of DS

tulip kettle
#

vet can 2 hit rot crushers with DS

young cliff
#

There is no DS in Atoma Prime

tulip kettle
#

comfortably

summer prairie
#

the class that has deflector doesn't get to insist that in order to be playable they also need a node that makes them completely immune to ranged damage

tulip kettle
#

my guy deflector is not saving you vs 3 cranial reapers

summer prairie
#

don't sit next to 3 cranial reapers

tulip kettle
#

and then we end up back in hard bubble meta

summer prairie
#

other classes can manage

tulip kettle
#

oh, you mean the classes that also have different forms of ranged immunity?

#

shocking

young cliff
#

The superior bubble

deft stump
tulip kettle
#

every class has at least 1 way of being ranged immune

summer prairie
#

nothing comparable to EE with specific weapons

young cliff
#

Ogryn too?

tulip kettle
#

yes, slab shield.

quartz barn
#

Shield

deft stump
young cliff
#

But that doesn't allow them to shoot back

tulip kettle
#

EE also requires specific weapons to be useable

quartz barn
#

Also taunt to an extend

tulip kettle
#

i dont see your point

quartz barn
#

Forces melee

young cliff
summer prairie
#

have you tried playing with shield and seen how immune to ranged it makes you

tulip kettle
#

you plant it in the ground

#

it makes you immune

#

idk what to say

young cliff
quartz barn
#

Corner chadgryn

tulip kettle
#

same applies to deflector

#

i dont see your point

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

indeed!

ripe obsidian
#

I don't even use Deflector anymore.

tulip kettle
#

me neither

#

it does nothing

young cliff
#

Same

#

You can use it to slide to a cover but is not what will save you

#

Sliding will save your bacon far more times

tulip kettle
#

when one stalker can take you from 0 to 97% peril in one burst its not worthwhile

#

you pray for EE procs

#

and if you miss one, you die

#

or you run specific weapons, like recon or surge surge, that allow you to reliably crit at least once per second

#

so, you have to run specific loadouts or weapons to have ranged immunity

#

same as every other class

#

its fine.

young cliff
#

Sliding while EE is the ultimate "I'll not die from gunfire BITCH" move

ripe obsidian
#

I do think EE was less objectionable when Psyker didn't have so much toughness regen and damage resist.

tulip kettle
#

again it makes no difference

#

without it functioning like it does

#

you will die either way

#

if its 50% DR, you die in 0.6 seconds instead of 0.3

young cliff
#

If you are reckless and take no cove or use any cover generating tool like bubble/walls or smoke

tulip kettle
#

my guy its not "being reckless" if you are forced to be somewhere with no cover, like on a number of maps

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

or like the other day on warrned

#

we are playing warren

#

syllo and chaos run into a room

summer prairie
#

other classes play builds that don't have better shooter dr than psyker without EE and manage fine

tulip kettle
#

me and karien get blocked by burgle

#

reapers come out of spawn door behind us and are up on platforms around us

#

i miss an ee proc and insta down

#

karien downs 1 second later

young cliff
#

The damage of havoc is supposed to be Hella unfair

quartz garnet
tulip kettle
#

right and there we are again

#

they are trying to balance the game around a game that varies in difficulty from uprising to H40

#

if you make something useable in H40 its likely broken OP in uprising

young cliff
#

Balancing for havoc is a fools errand Imo

#

H40 SHOULD be unfair

tulip kettle
#

i agree, and thats why SG is where it is

#

they are trying to make it H40 viable

#

but while shooters are like they are, it never will compete with bubble or shriek

#

unless you are using it to guarantee EE procs on that style of build, with recon or EK

dusk wren
#

or infinite smite

tulip kettle
#

piss off

dusk wren
#

owned

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

smite users dont get accepted into lobbies, as is only right

#

smite users when a single blue rager shows up :

summer prairie
#

I think they get accepted more than non-bubble psykers

young cliff
#

Mandatory smitekers hate, just like the lore said

tulip kettle
#

smite is only seen in current season of havoc because rampaging isnt around

hazy birch
#

Max level shouldn't be a standard. That should be a massive achievement few actually claim ownership of

young cliff
#

Feel that the point of SG is that is not supposed to be brought in all games, it's a huge damage/crit boost but you will need other deployable cover and utility to support someone nuking bosses with that damage, like Thammer zealot but with better brawling

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

and it is

fierce crest
#

is it not

tulip kettle
#

whats your point

young cliff
#

That we should collectively kick ObeseFish ass and make them stop trying to balance it aroun the mode that should be suicide missions, the real experience

tulip kettle
#

i mean, then you have a different issue

#

the "whales" of the game, with thousands of hours, the most loyal part of the playerbase, are the people that play it

hazy birch
#

If 40 is max, it should be hard to even get to 30 much less 40. Typical standard for any kind of ladder system is that the maximum level is likely still not even achieved yet much less owned by numerous ppl.

tulip kettle
#

if they dont care about it or balancing it why would we play?

#

it IS like this

#

less than 1% of the playerbase are above clearance level 30

hazy birch
#

I tried to find stats on it the other day and no such number is publicly published

tulip kettle
#

they said it in a previous season

young cliff
#

I have only H29 I think, because I have been rejected from most teams Sitgryn

hazy birch
#

But to hear people talk about it you'd think it's fairly common

tulip kettle
#

you are here

marble crater
#

Am I part of a 1%? pogryn

tulip kettle
#

in psyker discord

#

where you will find more dedicated players

marble crater
#

and Dom

tulip kettle
#

all you need to do is go on reddit

#

or look at upvoted builds on gameslantern

tulip kettle
#

to realise most players dont know shit about this game

fierce crest
#

my highest clear is 35 smilew

young cliff
tulip kettle
#

yes thats my point

marble crater
#

Sometimes I inspect random people on the Mourningstar to feel better about my own build

tulip kettle
#

also this

hazy birch
#

That's what I'd expect. But then you hear ppl talk about balancing the game for that level of play and it's like, you balance for the masses. Not the giga minority.

tulip kettle
#

right, but again

#

they are trying

fierce crest
#

you balance for the goal of the masses

tulip kettle
#

and if they dont balance for the dedicated playerbase

#

the your whales dont play the game

#

and then what

young cliff
#

Isn't the dedicated player base Aurics?

fierce crest
#

if the highest level is bad the mid level players that want to improve will lose motivation

tulip kettle
#

idk i think myself and many players here are at the point where auric isnt challenging enough

hazy birch
#

The goal for most people is to dabble in that content. If even that. I don't think a majority of players want to actually push high havoc

tulip kettle
#

its fun fuck around and chill out mode

isnt 21 already harder than auric

Yes

ripe obsidian

Yeah, around 25 it's already harder than Aurics and maelstorms

16 is auric mealstrom

21 is damnation and since you have fading light already plus the modifiers thats basically already an auric mael

I though emp blessing 1 was damnation+

You know what's weird? Rot + cranial is harder than any other modifier combo for me. I don't know why. I have beaten Rot + stims and Rot + purple. It feels like Rot + cranial just spawns more trickle hordes

rot + purple makes the most bullshit scenarios

what about other cranial combos?

the other day i played with randoms and we had 2 purple captains and 2 monstrosities + all the rot armour hordes

and this has been the case since the games release

hammer is really good now with zealot rework

weary idol

it does one thing good which is boss damage

#

And even in that I wouldn't call it the best boss damage in the game

verbal thistle
#

it gets the cleave it wants plus the easy 1 tap on crushers now

#

plus its the best boss damage in the game

royal totem
#

wait it can 1 tap crushers? 😮

weary idol
#

Simply because it takes setup to do that boss damage, and isn't nearly as safe as just boltering it on gun vet

verbal thistle
#

only downside if mixed horde ttk

weary idol
#

And also you have to carry around that paperweight of a melee the entire mission

#

Just so you can MAYBE one shot a boss

verbal thistle

you dont need to 1 shot bosses

thats just for memes

2-4 shots is fine

just to have funny boss damage that can be close 2nded by an exe vet that has to account for none of these things aside from missing and isn't sacrificing an entire weapon slot on mediocre dogshit just to do it

It is the one good thing Thammer does despite all that though

hardly a sacrifice with the state of born leader now

flamer accomodates thammer being complete ass into anything smaller than a crusher
