Hive scum also iirc get access to hand flamers. But fatshark were too cowardly to give us infinite ammo dual flamers

wish the release window was the weekend

the ones I meet with recon las

mid week release sucks

they may have not gotten approval for something like that

#

the evil james workshop strikes again

novel oracle
#

but the idea of dual guns having a left button fires left gun right button fires right gun was being tossed around

silver mural
novel oracle
#

but nothing came out of it cuz theres no point with the guns we have for it

#

itd be cool for 3s then youd realize it just sucks

#

but a revolver and shotgun would make sense cuz they serve different purposes

near mauve

#

how would you track ammo? fuck if i know

double uzis are cool but u still cant create the image of carrying a chainsword and a bolt pistol at the same time

pretty much

#

u could do funny things on other classes too

#

zealot with a buckler and a mace

#

bing bong wahoo gaming

drifting heron
#

Zealot probably wouldn't get shield

silver mural
#

Give vet the ability to friendly fire but only with bolt pistol.... its nescessary i swear

#

Shoot a periled psyker reduces their peril to zero, cuz they are fucking dead

#

Execute zealots for running away, clearly cowardice

last kelp
#

cant wait to use dual pistols with attack speed stimm and desperado and just break my mouse from trying to click as fast as humanly possible

Maybe if Mordhau had some hive scum I'd play it again

Nah Mordhau ain't ready for the dung covered scum convention

patent bone
quaint field
#

i feel like hive scum is the first time i've actually looked forward to making a ranged build in darktide

#

and i can see myself going between melee and range builds based on preference easily

#

i look forward to getting lots of reload speed for the dual autos and going brrrrrrt

restive mortar
#

I'm gonna name my Outlaw archetype Gerontius Margrave
He claims to be Margrave's bastard son but he's probably lying

I put a dash in place of spaces

So Gerontius-Margrave

Glugger?

#

Shock & Awe
-60% Enemy Hit Mass for 3s on Kill.

#

what does this mean exactly

fast gust
#

It means enemies are easier to cleave

#

Not a fan of the blessing tbh

jovial violet
#

ya im not seeing the appeal to it

drifting heron
#

It means enemies requires 60% less cleave to cleave through

#

Its multiplicative with other cleave increases basically

candid flare
#

SO CLOSE ITS ALMOST HERE

jovial violet
#

gotcha ok

#

but theres like way better cleave options tho right lol

drifting heron
#

Not really I think

#

But I think it amounts to like

#

150% cleave or smth?

drifting heron
#

It also has wrath but Shock and Awe is an easier condition

trim wind
#

Never thought I'd see the day where shock and awe might be useful

drifting heron
#

I think I'm losing it trying to figure this out it shouldn't be that hard

jovial violet
#

guess it could be gud

#

that and decimator

drifting heron
#

I'd take Refined Lethality or Shred

#

Deci is really really swingy

people already trying to min-max?

tribal bane
#

I feel that

tribal bane
jovial violet
#

i was very happy about arby lmao

tribal bane
#

I would assume so

jovial violet
#

he was a great time def my favorite so far

tribal bane
#

I mean, I named my arbites leskanza because they said the most arbites line ever

#

"You have been judged guilty of violating the Lex Imperialis. This is the law of the Emperor's realm. It is His law. If, as you loudly claim, I have erred in my judgement, He would strike me down where I stand. If you were innocent, He would have interceded to shield your flesh from my shotgun shell...but then you would stand guilty of wasting my ammunition. Be thankful I have saved you from committing such a crime."

fast gust
drifting heron
#

Ok I was right -60% hitmass is 150% cleave

#

So its actually better than Wrath

tribal bane
#

50% of which is ogryn gameplay

tribal bane
jovial violet
#

dots on the needler cant crit right

tribal bane
#

if I try to choose what I want I make the most useless ass build in existance

drifting heron
#

The shot can crit which applies more stacks but DoT can't crit

fast gust
#

Meh can't be worse than the things I've seen on youtube been preached

ahh

I'm sure they work somewhat thumbsup_ogryn

I am a dumbass

Bleed knife is not good

fast gust
#

We've all sinned

drifting heron
#

You can run it decently with Flesh Tearer Uncanny

#

But even then its still not great

fast gust
#

Even the great two forbidden zealots

Luumi and Frog have ran a bleed knife once

tribal bane
#

idk, I just run a cleaver ogryn build that I find funny because it oneshots most things with the uppercut

#

I cannot be trusted with the skill tree with just my own devices

drifting heron
#

Well this discord exists for a reason

lavish bronze
tribal bane
drifting heron
#

I'm a 10% er

tribal bane
#

it just works because I love lightspam and for some reason light spam shreads the hoards

lavish bronze

With bullbutcher light spam is the horde clear with mk4 i usually old.tierd and tested h2 into l3

tribal bane
#

I may have over 600 hours but I am dogshit

#

I'm lucky to get through a damnation level without getting downed

drifting heron
#

Thats the fun part though, you're always getting better

lavish bronze
#

I have 700 and can reliably clear auric and havoc up to like 25 if i concentrate a bit

drifting heron
#

As long as you try to improve you will improve

lavish bronze

But i stick to damnations lately ots more fun for me

bronze glade
drifting heron
#

Auric is chill for me

#

I should go hit up heresy for a bit

#

see what its like down there

tribal bane
#

for me, heresy is decent, i have like a 70% win rate

Ill be frank auric is to.much for me after work

I've done this to myself so I can carry auric pretty easy

Those are really good regen nodes though

what voice is everyone gonna use?

patent bone
#

Might do Bounty Hunter

fast gust
#

Outlaw or Bounty Hunter

I already have a deranged psyker for the anarchist shenanigans

patent bone
#

Then later switch to Anarchist

#

I wanna hear more shit talk on Cadia

fast gust
#

Likely Outlaw and make Dr. Shoot

#

Or Gordon Freeman

tribal bane
#

i'm choosing anarchist

patent bone
#

Bounty Hunter got the Big Iron(s) on his hip

#

Now what gang y'all choosing?

#

I'm going Tread Lightlies

tribal bane
#

probably the show for the most flash

patent bone
#

All their penances are for gunslingers

#

And we get Hazard stripes chadgryn

tribal bane
#

with the orks, I'm a badmoonz through and through, so flash is in me blood

arctic imp
#

The toughness regeneration from the stim is only talking about coherency regeneration? Is that true?

patent bone
#

Hazard stripes for daaaayyyysss

arctic imp
#

Or rather, a rework

patent bone
#

#BlueTeam4Lyfe

#

Don't need any fancy pants. Literally just these

arctic imp
#

You better tread lightly 😡

patent bone
tribal bane
#

so if we choose one can we have all the gang's clothing or are we restricted to our gang's specifically?

arctic imp
#

You have all

tribal bane
#

ah

#

alr

tribal bane
#

that puts my mind at ease

patent bone
#

But I still restrict myself for blue team

arctic imp
#

I do wish some voice lines were unlocked based on cartel choice

tribal bane
patent bone
#

You also get unique full body tattoo option (Tbh the difference is small)

patent bone
tribal bane
#

probably not even gonna use the bull body tattoo unless one catches my eye

patent bone
#

Def getting a Mohawk for MORE BLUE

tribal bane
#

I'm choosing a yellow mohawk

#

then whatever yellow facepaint there is

#

definitely gonna use a face with piercings

#

and no facial hair

patent bone
#

I don't remember seeing yellow face paint but I could be wrong

tribal bane
#

then black

#

idk

patent bone
#

Why not Green?

#

For The Show

tribal bane
#

the show's yellow, no?

#

with the goldish armor

#

def gonna use that rebreather tho\

#

that or the delux gas mask

tribal bane
#

wait

#

i might be dumb

patent bone
tribal bane
#

then which is yellow

patent bone
#

Iron Riders is Red
Water Cartel is Purple

tribal bane
#

wut

#

am I color blind

patent bone
#

But their main colors is Green

tribal bane
#

ah, then might do green mohawk and face paint

patent bone
#

But Tread Lightlies are Blue with a lot of Orange Hazard lights

tribal bane
#

or yellow mohawk with green facepaint

patent bone
#

Or Yellow Hazard lights

patent bone
tribal bane
#

I do admit, sense I like the iron warriors, might wear a lot of treadlightlies aswell

patent bone
#

Eyyy

#

Join the blue team!

tribal bane
#

iron riders are cool tho

#

idk

#

i'll wear what I want

patent bone
#

Like a true Mucker

tribal bane
#

probably gonna wear a lot of flashy stuff tho

#

being able to be seen from orbit just sounds right

#

also, the show gets leopard print pants, so

#

I just don't get why the shivs have to be spiraled

#

it doesn't add anything but make it harder to slash

#

whatever, i'm happy they're starting to add weapons that have alternative modes

#

the needle pistol, cleaver, and crowbar specifically

#

they seem neat, and the needle pistol might be helpful in a melee build

arctic imp
#

I mean it is a potent option without much investment in ranged

tribal bane
#

just fire a shot off into a crusher then rip him appart with a crowbar

arctic imp
#

Hopefully toxin doesn’t get nerfed. it would hurt the whole right side of the tree

tribal bane
#

and the alt mode can help with crowds

arctic imp
#

that’s true

tribal bane
#

anyway, i'm gonna sleep

Think chances are left side is more likely to be nerfed

#

That and since we work with Moebian Steel, I get closer to Hadron

tribal bane
#

don't see tzeench doing a lot of manufactoring

patent bone
tepid cosmos
#

also not gangs a gang would never have that sway over the manufacturing processes of some of the best tanks in the imperium

tepid cosmos
#

they are a cartel

arctic imp
#

I hope there’s a lot of cartel talk. I want more lore about what’s going on with the cartels. Considering there isn’t any cartel specific voice lines

arctic imp
tepid cosmos
#

not the same thing at all

arctic imp
#

Conclave

#

Boot

tepid cosmos
#

the conclave that is most likely made up of the leaders of each cartel

#

funny that :)

tribal bane
#

me injecting all the stimms into my heart directly

arctic imp
#

It’s a mutually assisted conclave. I don’t think they’d play nice if it wasn’t good for business/there wasn’t an actual invasion.

patent bone
# tepid cosmos they are a cartel

The Tread Lightlies

Moebian Steel production is the heart of Tertiums industry, feeding the tank foundries and manufactorums with the raw material they need. The Teead Lightlies and their leader, Lady Steel (my beloved), have their fingers in everything they can surrounding this industry. From raw material transport to final product delivery, they all come under the influence of this influential cartel.

like ive said here multiple times comparing a cartel to a gang in 40k terms is like comparing a legless homeless man to bill gates

And our "Lady Steel"

arctic imp
#

@flat mist no no, say that again

patent bone
#

Nice to see that sexy bitch in charge

flat mist
#

Yeah but you can just let your stacks decay to 3, then your next stim takes you back to 4. As long as you use it within that 30s window you stay at 3 or 4 the whole game.
And that's before you take into account Sample Collector.

tepid cosmos
#

id assume there is a ragged king though cause otherwise i dont see how the whole conclave thing works for the water cartel

anyway, I need to stop reading because I need to sleep

low harbor
#

rodin presumably killed the original ragged king and declared himself as the new ragged king

flat mist
low harbor
#

then he got smited in orthus offensive and then his soul got blasted in dark communion

tepid cosmos
#

cause at the time of the orthus offensive rodin claims to be the ragged king

arctic imp
low harbor
arctic imp
#

I want more cartel lore and I know we didn’t get cartel specific voice lines but hopefully they still yap about what’s going on with all of them

low harbor
#

then he died to 4 homeless dudes twice

tepid cosmos
#

they will most likely get mortis lore

low harbor
#

and now we don't know wats going on with water cartel and ragged king

tepid cosmos
#

and any flavour we get mid mission

#

ive heard some about contested areas of the hive

arctic imp
tepid cosmos
#

where a bunch of street gangs are mentioned as well

arctic imp
#

Yeah that’s easy

#

5 infected kills knocks down 10% and regular mobs count too right?

flat mist
#

Can probably assume anywhere from 20-50% off a max CD stim

arctic imp
#

So easy

flat mist
#

Closer to 20% in havoc

arctic imp
#

SC will probably do heavy lifting

flat mist

For long cooldown stims

arctic imp

sample collector is non-negotiable mandatory pick imo

unless u don't use custom stim

I thought you might know though

tepid cosmos
arctic imp
#

It’s pretty bad that it’s coherency

low harbor
#

tgh route not worth

#

if u want stim defense, take the subnode for stim keystone

#

lol

tepid cosmos
#

have a few painpoints with the class

flat mist
low harbor
#

u get better function that way for 1 point

low harbor
tepid cosmos
#

but enjoy it for the most part

flat mist
#

And why are the end nodes of that branch so bad

young herald
low harbor
#

alrdy read kuli guide

#

it prob won't change much going into launch

tepid cosmos
#

we love deadlines

arctic imp
#

It should be general. The damage reduction might be worth it if it mattered in high end content, but you’ll die in a few moments regardless of your damage reduction

limber cradle
arctic imp
#

It’s also only while stimmed and that’s just like… I’d rather have a stimmed moment of killing everything around me

low harbor
#

u can get very good tgh gain on hvs with PV and Tox Renewal

flat mist
tribal bane
#

Welp, then I'm going down the melee rout

low harbor
#

it's not vet-tier good but it's like top 2~3 of all classes

drifting heron
#

75% melee power

low harbor
#

tox renewal is prob also a non-negotiable pick for melee build

arctic imp
#

I’m thinking Strength Crit, attack speed stopping at the 4th node, and taking some cooldown reduction to top it off. This is for a tox build

drifting heron
#

Shit blows martyrdom out of the water with no risk

flat mist
drifting heron
low harbor
#

15% per chemtox-affected enemy being killed by ur melee atk

#

which is huge

limber cradle
arctic imp
low harbor
#

cd rate is the best route for stim

arctic imp
#

But i want the attack speed too. I’m undecided

fast gust
#

Tox bomber roleplaying

drifting heron
#

Medkit just for tox explosions doesn't seem great

arctic imp
limber cradle
#

Im ngl I'm leaning right side stim rn

flat mist
low harbor
#

cd rate = less rampage downtime = more rampage uptime = way more dmg

arctic imp
flat mist
#

Idk why anyone wouldn't go chem dep with rampage

low harbor
#

rampage is way higher dps than either speed or str route for stim

flat mist
#

It's so obviously the best

tribal bane

I'm gonna have so much stamina just to be able to swing my crowbar like a madman

low harbor
#

lol

young herald
low harbor
#

z in shambles

drifting heron
arctic imp
# low harbor cd rate = less rampage downtime = more rampage uptime = way more dmg

CD rate takes less when you consider how it works though. If you do a CD strength stim for your rampage, you won’t be able to use your stim with your rampage because you get no cooldown while in it. Furthermore, the Cooldown regen is only in stim, so it’s whatever cooldown you have forced into the 15-20 seconds of your stim. the math just looks worse and worse

fast gust
#

Zealots back to been useless folk

#

Niiiice

low harbor
drifting heron
young herald
low harbor
#

and with sample collector u will get ur stim back when in rampage

arctic imp
#

That’s makes more sense, but you still have the regen forced into a small window

#

That may have better results I didn’t think of SC

low harbor
#

this results in like as low as 9s downtime for rampage

#

which is bonkers

young herald
fast gust
# young herald Quite the opposite

You can't stop me from spreading misinformation that the steam forums will repeat for 5 months till the sloptuber of their choosing changes their mind

Actually

flat mist
tribal bane
#

Me when I actually think of a decent build for a darktide character

drifting heron
#

Has anyone tried desperado needler

young herald
# low harbor it's so obv the best lol

The problem with blinders is that tox kills don't count for its regeneration, so you get a lot less of them than you'd think, according to half a dozen playtesters

drifting heron
#

Or does it not work

young herald
#

It's the first set up I'm gonna try though

@low harbor

How close is this to your melee scum ideas

will it be same price as arbites?

young herald

low harbor
#

I think bottom left's swift endurance and hypercrit are also basically non-negotiable tbh

If tox grenade regened it’d probably be the best for dps, it’s insane for killing everything in an area

#

+3 though?

low harbor
#

but a +3 is prob good just like on every class besides og

young herald
#

Hyperviolence is probably better for most weapons, but high crit shit will def be hypercrit

tribal bane
flat mist
arctic imp
low harbor
#

could take both

solemn vessel
#

AHHH POE2 new league and this new class gonna out soon, still thinking which one to play

flat mist
#

And also considered dropping channelled aggression

low harbor
#

considering either that or the melee kill +clv node

arctic imp

#

Hypercrit proc = hyperviolence loses all damage

reef spoke
arctic imp
drifting heron
#

I don't think desperado needler even works

tribal bane
#

I'm prolly gonna run needler, crowbar/saw, then a lot of stamina enhancement stuff

young herald
#

You could make both work if they ever buff the duration of hyperviolence back to 3s, probably, but as-is taking both is just wasting the hyperviolence point

drifting heron
#

Desperado specifies "with ranged weapon"

reef spoke

flat mist
#

@low harbor don't rate burst of energy?

flat mist
low harbor
# flat mist Yeah I wasn't at all settled on the blitz or aura

blinder is obv best blitz cuz u get CC that hvs desperately needs for meleeing as pseudo-front
chem nade 2nd best since it's basically z's fire nade pro max plus
rocket is overall least useful due to deploy time of ~2s (lol) and low capacity

as for aura I think if ur the only hvs, gunslinger best
and if ur not the only hvs, ur team prob fked up somewhere

livid raven
#

oh wow rocket sounds awful

tribal bane
arctic imp
low harbor
young herald
reef spoke
#

Rocket is funny but not practical sadly

#

Make it a cluster rocket pls

low harbor
#

but I think TBaS is prob more useful overall?

arctic imp
#

It should have had higher dmg but I think they didn’t want a “lol easy” button

young herald
#

It's not bad, but the other options are way better

low harbor
#

idk it depends

reef spoke
low harbor
#

because BoE can sorta counter the lack of tgh grace in havoc?

Only 20% Dr on your build without ramp up

arctic imp
#

So just get good fr

flat mist
low harbor
#

but also I think

arctic imp
#

I’ve never had my toughness broken when I didn’t want it to break 😎

low harbor
#

u prob have more ways to approach ranged as hvs compared to like z

#

since u have 5 blinders

#

and u have guns with actual range & finesse, or suppression

young herald
arctic imp
#

The throwing ones

tribal bane
#

Actually might actually run blinders with the pocket tox

low harbor

#

Hmmmmm has to be tested

flat mist
#

I can see that nimble is probably better if you have to choose

low harbor
#

that row kinda interchangeable

#

all 3 good

tribal bane
#

That plus the crowd control mode for the needler sounds good at getting tox everywhere

flat mist
#

Yeah I want them all but scum so bottom heavy

tribal bane
#

Short of chem nades

low harbor
#

issue is bottom right is so stacked
and both bottom left & mid have non-negoatiable mandatory picks

#

so best to save when u can

the hardest part is 3 pt into rampage

which is a massive pt sink but worth imo

You'd have to run desperado to get even remotely close to comfortable charging gunners

Hive scum can cover the distance on gunners easily if you make use of the mechanics in the game. Sprint slide infinitely, use your angles. So… yeah skill

young herald

#

30s, stagger and clv are worth

tribal bane

#

rending for rampage only works if u have >50% of rampage duration left

#

so if ur aiming for 30s uptime

#

it only works for <15s

#

It’s lacking in toughness regen during the fight itself

#

The point is to not be hit at all

low harbor
#

I do notice 1 big problem that hvs have which is that they kinda suck abysmally in actual ranged firefights if u don't take desperado

young herald
#

The one thing scum has over zealot for diving gunners is desperado, which is weaksauce fotf for this purpose

low harbor

#

It is a bit unfortunate we look like heretics

low harbor

but man, losing rampage is a big ask

Only a maniac would seek that much CDR to maintain it 100%

Rampage looks to be the most fun

We'll see how it shakes out

shrimply make multiple builds and play all of them

arctic imp
#

Tox.

low harbor
#

for team

#

it's better than a lot of support ults

arctic imp
#

I genuinely believe there is a feasible way to play with it as an offensive weapon

#

I will figure it out

low harbor
#

oh u can

#

just run cd rate stim and spam it with dependency

arctic imp
#

Tox is an incredible DoT that they are giving to us very strong. I just need it to not be nerfed

low harbor
#

the cd rate stim is insane

#

cuz u give everybody the same stim effect

#

everybody gets +100% cd rate for being in melee

#

it's huge

#

and it clears corruption off teammates with full corrupted wounds

i was thinking about it last night but if you don't run a custom stim, you may be able to give a random stimm to an ally, use stimm crate, and have them give it back to get your cooldown back again. then you give it back to them before using crate, so you can infinitely reset your crate without ever consuming a stimm

#

rinse and repeat and just use the 7 stacks of tox on expiry as a big aoe bomb

Crate with the lowest cd stim and trap subnode is funny

this class's issue to me is that they rly want a good frontliner to cover for them and enable them to go nuts

young herald
#

You get 0 dependency stacks from the crate, and crate consumes stim, so you get 0 dependency stacks for the whole run

arctic imp
young herald
#

Just run keystoneless and pick up other blue nodes instead

low harbor
lavish bronze
#

Yeah

young herald
#

Doesn't matter until it's fixed

low harbor
#

stance vet unironically a better frontliner than fotf z

#

lol

arctic imp
#

They said it should be fixed on release

#

They being streamers

young herald
#

There's plenty of acknowledged bugs that have existed for years

low harbor
#

dependency stack lasts 90s

arctic imp
#

I’ll try to make something and if it sucks or doesn’t feel good I’ll stop doing it.

young herald
#

Streamers are not fatshark and even if fatshark said they'd fix it, that's no guarantee it actually will be fixed

low harbor
#

it'll be tough maintaining full dependency stacks with it

arctic imp
#

Which isn’t hard if you’re a tox build

#

You couldn’t do the 4 stacks of dependency, no. Not without it being a serious race against time

can custom stim be injected onto teammate without stim crate?

No

No

their biggest issues that is addressed by desperado one of which also gets addressed by pickpocket

is

most of their weapons fit into a pool of weapons we know as having bad ammo economy
and all of their weapons but 3 maybe 4 require you to close the distance between you and enemies

# young herald Scum is very buff dependent

A 10% reduction in stim cooldown on a 75 means a 7.5 second reduction. That’s only 5 tox infected enemies. 10 regular enemies.

A 20% reduction is 15 seconds. You can see the ratio already, that’s 10 tox infected enemies. 20 regular. it’s not hard to knock off time in a game like darktide where cooldown is given on kills.

You’re going to keep killing, so that 75 cooldown stim (which does take 90 after wearing off of course) can be knocked down to just 52 seconds after 25 tox infected kills.

@young herald Until I try it and it actually gives shitty damage, I’m gonna hold out hope that a medikit spamming for tox build may actually be useful. I don’t think they would have designed it the way they did if they didn’t think of it being played this way

like, does it use up the stim u have? does it contribute stack to dependency?
