think of scums sample collector
that by itself is one of the strongest parts of his kit, and its a blue talent

haughty badger
#

I'm not saying so many should be or that they shoukd have significant effects, but it cant be denied that psykers skill tree has much more impact on how you play than Zealots. if you compare Zealot to a more moderate example, like Scum and Vet and Ogryn, they all have talents that have smaller but notable impacts on your playstyle, whereas Zealot has none. if nothing else, the keystones should change something, which is true for almost every keystone in the game except all 3 of Zealots

novel oracle
#

i dont think a blue talent should have as much weight as it does

#

and same goes for so many other blues

low harbor
#

and it's not that hard to make both vet and zealot trees better, the current forms are pretty close to perfect

tropic crag
#

i'm saying its not the type of improvement that will like... actually win or lose you games unless you're in a very specific skill range where the numbers help close a gap and that range will be very narrow

#

darktide is too messy to get too caught up in the details

#

because gains get very messy in how reliable they can actually be

low harbor
#

weird cases like that do happen

novel oracle
#

that shit is literally not finished

#

look at it

livid raven
#

i hate the bottom right path so much

drifting heron

haughty badger

#

they took all the leftover stuff and put it into a branch

sustained assault is literally just +damage in disguise
its hit things for damage

dim moth
haughty badger
haughty badger
#

that one yeah

#

my bad. I dont play vet much

livid raven
#

but even some toxin stuff there is kinda just there

dim moth
#

it gets doubled value on toxin enemies

#

so I'd say it counts

tropic crag
novel oracle
#

the right tree is chem focused

tropic crag
#

after like a decade of these games

livid raven
#

the right tree is a fusion of toxin, chem and whatever else was left

#

it's kinda confused

haughty badger
novel oracle
#

chem would be a blanket covering stims. crate and toxin

#

thats what i meant

+75% coherency radious in our lord's year 2025

left side having hyper critical, weakspot damage, swift endurance and ramping backstabs

livid raven
#

so you took it?

dim moth
#

so called "gun" tree smh

please save hive scum teo

please save hive scum teo

low harbor
tropic crag

haughty badger
low harbor
#

your interpretation does not equate to fact

candid flare
#

Left tree is more the crit tree than the gun tree

stark stone
#

I prefer shooty shooty pew pew desperado with twin stubb pistols, vulture's and boom bringer with lots of crits

low harbor
#

neither does mine, but I'm not the one arguing against trying to make things better

stark stone
#

It's fun as hell

tropic crag
haughty badger
# livid raven so you took it?

I tend to if I'm next to it already. especially on Psyker though since the cdr from earlier in the tree is shared. Scum's are less important to share though

frigid sluice
#

I took scratch summer classes when I was 7 I think I outrank both of you ngl

low harbor
stark stone
#

Is crit stub pistols the meta? Idk, nor do I really care as it's funny to spam dodges and get an ungodlu amount of lead to inject enemiez with

dim moth
stark stone
#

I made it work well tbh

livid raven
drifting heron
livid raven
#

for any hivescum build

stark stone
#

Idk, I got a build that gets good value.

low harbor
#

but they can be fun

novel oracle
#

a tiny damage bump and baked in run n gun is all they need imo

stark stone
#

You need to worship crits and crucian roulette + run and gun

rose palm
livid raven
#

i'd rather use dual smg at that point

livid raven
#

for actual damage

stark stone
#

Idk my funny pew pew does plenty of damage

livid raven
#

i tried shredder and it's pretty cool too despite being obviously worse

candid flare
#

Dual stubs have hellbore degrees of hipfire autoaim

stark stone
#

Do get the funny instakill crits for the guys and crucian for real fun

low harbor
haughty badger
#

I like the stub pistols as a special sniping secondary on an otherwise melee build. has enough range and damage for quick single kills, while having an ammo economy about it. not the best for it, but does the job well

stark stone
livid raven
#

ammo economy?

haughty badger
livid raven
#

in this pickpocket?

low harbor
haughty badger
livid raven
novel oracle
livid raven
#

it doesn't work for guns

novel oracle
#

it should be melee only

stark stone
#

It doesnt????

livid raven
#

it is melee only

novel oracle
#

yes it doesnt

stark stone
#

Lemme test that thesis

low harbor
dim moth
#

I wonder how busted as fuck it would be if it did work on guns

haughty badger
#

I did it with the combat shotgun slug round

stark stone
#

Regardless the build I have is fun

livid raven
#

you did not bro

winged bay
#

hyperviolence stacks on ranged, procs on melee only but in practice that's almost useless

dim moth
#

IAG one shotting literally everything on a crit

novel oracle
winged bay
#

but hypercritical no

livid raven
#

you can just test it, it's very easy

haughty badger
stark stone
#

If's brainless af how I play my build.. but it's fun

low harbor
livid raven
#

they should make hyperviolence work on and for ranged attacks

stark stone
#

Imma get a clip of my hoohoo haha build

novel oracle
#

and i can only assume its doing that against groaners

low harbor
#

1 tap flamer if hypercrit worked

haughty badger
drifting heron
#

1 tap all shotgunners

low harbor
dim moth
#

granted this is veteran and they have much higher ranged damage than scum

#

but still

haughty badger
#

it only affects man sized

livid raven
#

it also just doesn't work on anything with a ranged attack, i tried on a poxwalker

hybrid oyster
#

they should put it in the description if it doesn't work for ranged

#

lol

low harbor
#

yea FS tooltip been bad

livid raven
#

it does say critical strike

#

which (inconsistently) would mean melee hit

hybrid oyster
#

can't ranged weapons have critical strike? or is it called something else

haughty badger
livid raven
#

fatshark usually uses strike meaning melee hit

#

usually

haughty badger
#

oh you meant the "strike" part. I've never noticed that distinction. granted, usually critical effects inpact both melee and ranged unless explicitly stated to not

tropic crag
#

yeah strike usually means hit, not shoot

#

if someone said "strike them with the gun" you wouldn't think to shoot them usually

low harbor
haughty badger
#

okay turns out I was wrong about hyper critical with ranged after all. I had claimed that because I was able to one shot a plasma gunner with combat shotgun slug round with hyper critical but could not without it with the build I had tested it with. whatever the reason ut happened then, it didnt happen this time Sitgryn

drifting heron
#

Slugs are just nasty like that

#

Second most damaging projectile in the game

haughty badger
#

yeah but it didnt one shot with the omly difference being hyper critical or not loregryn

livid raven
#

are you sure you tested right

#

maybe the slug hit weak+crit

tropic crag
haughty badger
#

nah I was shooting chest

haughty badger
hybrid oyster
haughty badger
#

I hadnt tried it many times, just enough to be confident I couldnt one shot on a crit and then used hyper critical and saw if it one shot or not. didnt really try again

drifting heron
#

I have finally taken the agri combat pill

#

It is the shit

#

Except for the reload but thats mostly fine

#

Weapon spec carries

haughty badger
#

tbh I'm using the one with the stagger shot

#

base shot didnt feel strong enough, and the fire one felt like it had too much spread. the other one hits just right for me though pogryn

#

also only like it on Scum. always feels good, but runs out of ammo too fast. pickpocket carries tho

stark stone
#

I am testing in the psykanium atm, but I've used in Auric and I've had plenty of fun and killing with it

woeful hill
#

The reject can have a little bit of corruption as a treat

stark stone
#

Struggles a bit at long ranges, but that's what the rockets and my team is for

spice cloud
#

What is best braced auto?

woeful hill
#

fastest or the slowest

spice cloud
#

And inf auto again?

woeful hill
#

whatever you want

#

vraks is old columni

spice cloud
#

I feel like graia would be good

#

Super fast

stark stone
#

I'm doing funmaxxing

haughty badger
# spice cloud And inf auto again?

my favorite feeling one is I think the brown one. the one with the middle fire rate. Vraks is nice for desperado though since it dumps fast enough to get more reloads off

spice cloud
#

I tried em all and the shredder so far i like the braced the most i think.

#

Yeah i feel like higher rof is better for desperado

haughty badger
#

Embraced Autogun KEKW_ogryn

jaunty sail
#

Infantry autogun fucking slaps on scummer

#

whatthefuck_heresy closest I will get to playing an orkboy

#

With never ending dakka

spice cloud
#

Even the shredder autopistol slaps with desperado lolKEKW_ogryn

jaunty sail
#

Shredder autopistols sound cool and nothing beats a crackhead with silenced uzis

spice cloud
#

Its quite good actually imo

#

Try it

jaunty sail
#

I did run them since release of meth addict

spice cloud
#

Just no carapace killing

jaunty sail
#

But time for change

bronze glade
#

agri brauto is pretty good with desp

lavish parrot
#

Been feeling like the crowbar is a bit underperforming am I crazy?

jaunty sail
#

Pistols were fun too

haughty badger
#

my only problem with autogun on scum is that it's just point and fire. if you take the whole ranged tree, it's pretty braindead to me. so I skip the ranged keystone section and pop over to chem dependency, using desperado as my only source of infinite ammo whatthefuck_heresy

bronze glade
jaunty sail
#

Although I am trained in pleasing ladies and didn’t have issues with finger being numb so

#

Idk meth addict is great

spice cloud
#

Pistols are the most stylish.

#

But i wish we had a fire selector lolKEKW_ogryn

haughty badger
spice cloud
#

Anyone try combat shotgun or smth with the despacito yet?

hybrid oyster
#

despacito

spice cloud
haughty badger
#

I like combat shotgun with pickpocket but not desperado. desperado gives free reloads which is great for it, but the downtime of the ability is high enough to feel like I'm not using the gun enough, plus the reload is too slow to really keep the ability going for a while. it feels good with depression, but leaves uptime to be desired without pickpocket, so I run the other two abilities with it and spec into pickpocket

spice cloud
#

When i have pickpocket i just never stop shooting lolKEKW_ogryn

Reckon there's anymore classes comin' after the scum?*

spice cloud
#

Yeah its really stupid and just shows me how useless it isKEKW_ogryn

clear isle
#

All of us are rejects though

#

Except arby I suppose

haughty badger
dreamy portal
#

sorry, typed the wrong word, meant to type scum

clear isle
#

I think we still might get a new class, but tbh it might take a super long time

ancient basin
#

arby technically is, failing the lex by not reigning in the situation before and having to atone now

clear isle
#

Like a year maybe

ancient basin
#

skitari comin after the holiday break probs

dreamy portal
#

reckon since we have a rogue trader on the mourning star, we might get a class that isn't necessarily human?

spice cloud
clear isle
#

Bcz I don't imagine the game would be too alive at the 5 year mark

livid raven
clear isle
#

Then again vt got necromancer after a billion years

dreamy portal
#

they recruit xenos though

spice cloud
livid raven
#

they recruit singular xenos

dreamy portal
#

xenos mercenaries even.

ancient basin
#

they have been cooking up new classes at a decent clip recently, and if we get new missions too thats bonus

livid raven
#

i doubt they are going to add orks or kroots as a class

ancient basin
#

pfft imagine ork freebotah as a playable class, ogryn adjacent size

spice cloud
dreamy portal
#

much as i'd love to see some freebootas, and kroots, i was mainly thinkin' those eldar that run off to be mercs.

ancient basin
#

never going to happen but still funny to think about

clear isle
#

VT isn't forced online

spice cloud
clear isle
#

It's p2p so there's only very small server costs

spice cloud
#

You can play dt solo too

dreamy portal
#

ey, what about gretchen freeboota?

ancient basin
#

eldar running special ops into atoma secundus to prevent the full on warp incursion

spice cloud
#

Its just that bots in vt succ ass

#

Same as dt

Meanwhile in DT you are forced to use their servers for multiplayer

Which isn't needed in vt

is that a mercenary gnobblar

gretchen

ancient basin
#

not fully modded, but undergoing trial

livid raven
#

too small

haughty badger
#

all I really want for a new class is another Ogryn class, just so Ogryn weapons and animations can get some love and reuse thumbsup_ogryn

dreamy portal
#

feel though if anything, maybe some beastmen?

livid raven
#

beastmen wouldn't really have anything new would they

spice cloud
livid raven
#

also yeah GW kinda hates them

#

you'd be more likely to see them as an elite enemy

spice cloud
#

I fckn hate beastmen

#

Keep that shit in vt2

tight rock
#

reskinned minotaur inc

dreamy portal
#

there are still non-chaos affiliated beastmen that i'm sure still see employment from rogue traders.

spice cloud
#

Ewwww

livid raven
#

not at army of them

#

and like

#

why

#

it's not like they are special

dreamy portal
#

cause beastmen in 40k did start out on the side of the imperium til' the inquisition decided it wasn't purging enough things.

#

could be a full melee class, maybe.

spice cloud
#

Its because they are abhorrent abominations.

#

That talk in goat language

dreamy portal
#

not any worse than psykers

spice cloud
#

True but we cant have it all

#

Atleast the psyker aint no furry

dim moth
dreamy portal
#

least these furries ain't that uwu crap

spice cloud
stark stone
#

uwu

ancient basin
#

men of iron enemy faction

dreamy portal
#

they're a buncha' farm animals given bloodlust, not hyper sexualized or infanticized.

spice cloud
ancient basin
#

everything is carapace!

spice cloud
#

Leaked beastmen gameplay

ancient basin
#

AAAAAA

dreamy portal
#

i'm just sayin' for furries, beastmen at least ain't as cringe as furries in real life.

stark stone
#

Furries deserve my fear and respect, anybody who chooses to walk around in those suits in blistering ass weather and do tricks and shit...

#

Well.. yeah... I gotta respect that endurance.

drifting heron
#

Remember that the upper end of medical, engineering, and software dev is like 95% furries

dreamy portal
#

they're big, they're ugly, they're fierce, and the imperium technically does have its own daemons like a living saint and the like.

stark stone
#

Also from my own experience I find the antifurries far outweigh furries in terms of cringe, I'd rather be in a room with 10 furries than a single one of those edgy fucks.

#

Probably somehow smells less too 💀

drifting heron
#

Correct

#

Do note however that edgy anti furry 13 year old is a pre evolution to extremely gay adult

dreamy portal
#

eh, i dunno, see way too many of those UWU types. though i guess i can't say they're all like that, got a friend whose a furry and he ain't that cringe.

stark stone
#

I see the furry "community" as less a community and more some bigass subgenre that is found without different niche cultures.

spice cloud
#

Its a huge conglomerate of horny men in costumes.

#

Taking drugs

dreamy portal
#

isn't there also like a sub-group that wears red arm bands unironicly?

spice cloud
#

The drugs is where the endurance comes from

drifting heron
#

Yes

#

Its fucking baffling

dreamy portal
#

bafflingly hilarious too.

drifting heron
#

You can find nazis anywhere if you look hard enough

stark stone
#

Being a furry and a Neo is such a weird juxtaposition.

dim moth
drifting heron
#

Femboy nazi is a horrifyingly existent cross section

stark stone
#

Accurate... I've seen too many Neo femboys or those who are obviously somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum whether they admit it or not out there.. though the ones that are are usually hyper closeted.

drifting heron
#

Its probably 90% self hate that needs a target

dreamy portal
#

what are we gonna do in the gas chamber adolf?

drifting heron
#

And 10% needing to find a group to identify with

drifting heron
#

Also

#

Side point

#

"Estrogen would save him" was a legitimate plan against hitler

drifting heron
#

There was in fact a project (that wasn't deployed) to spike his food to slowly feminize him and make him less violent

#

they like to do a little trolling in bermingham.

stark stone
#

If you suffer from living in B*rmingham you're likely to be a bit loony

#

Perhaps even being a bit of a ... jonkler...

dreamy portal
#

speakin' of trolls actually, i'm surprised actually that there doesn't seem to be any equivalent of such a think in 40k.

stark stone
#

Slaanesh

dreamy portal
#

no actual trolls.

stark stone
#

Violent trolling

#

Ahhh

#

I think Tzeentch does a good bit of trolling too

dreamy portal
#

no, i mean literal trolls.

stark stone
drifting heron
#

I think that archetype of creature just falls under certain daemons

dreamy portal
#

even though trolls in fantasy wern't really even daemons, but mutants or something like that?

drifting heron
#

They were just trolls

dreamy portal
#

either way, IS there even any troll equivalent in 40k? like some kinda xenos known for regenerating flesh quick, and being a big dumb monster with a big stick?

drifting heron
#

Idk

#

Ask lore chat

#

They're quicker on obscure shit than I am

dreamy portal
#

oh yeah, reckon ambulls might ever get added as an enemy type some day?

dreamy portal
#

do ogryns have inherent regen?

livid raven
#

Ogryns are just ogres

#

Crazy

dreamy portal
#

cause i'm pretty sure ogryn are the ogre equivalent, not made through chaos radiation, more of a thing that happened on a high grav prison planet.

livid raven
#

Trolls are dumber than ogres too

#

Trolls aren't made through chaos either

#

I think very old editions had some trolls in chaos armies

#

Relics from warhammer fantasy

spark gyro
#

Am I crazy or is Hive Scum penances insanely quicker than Arbites.

dim moth
#

they localized 100% of the penance grind time into Enhanced

spice cloud
#

Unlike all the other classes lol

#

Hivescum will prolly br the first class where i actually just get them all by playing normally.

light phoenix
#

I wanna try and run Brauto on Scum, which build and mark should I go for?

spice cloud
#

I liked graia and agri

#

Also liked inf auto and shredder

light phoenix
spice cloud
#

Yeah

#

Just try them all out youll see

#

What u like

lapis raft
#

no ammo used in mortis trials on zarona pretty fun :d

light phoenix
lapis raft
#

probably but not having to reload on zarona is a bit stronger i think

main trellis
livid raven
#

they gotta buff those braced guns man

vast cairn
#

What is it with havoc teams hating hivescum especially when they have a build that completely negates corruption (which includes damage from dog and chaos spawn grabs) for the entire team, have grenades that clear hoards or deletes groups of armor, have a guns that functionally have infinite ammo even without the shooting ability, and one particular gun that kills everything in 2-4 shots?

echo python
#

Youtube man said hive scum bad

novel oracle
#

they heard hive scum weak + no gold toughness

vast cairn
#

like if I had the choice between a stimbox hivescum or a zealot for a blight mission I will take the hivescum for my team every time just because immunity is better than slowly healing

#

not to mention the box also heals corruption

low harbor
#

Hive scum is kinda better zealot lol

vast cairn
#

certainly in the grenade department

#

it's literally a better immolation nade

lapis raft
#

and 50% cdr from crate better than support zealot provides, ppl just hate scum for no reason

low harbor
#

It’s CD rate

#

Stim crate is kinda better with speed + str(crit)

vast cairn
#

or giga crits for the whole team too

#

like the options are massive

#

the only bad option is the toughness one

#

and only because it only effects coherency regen

lapis raft
#

so im just doing cdr + str

vast cairn
#

if Fatshark changes the toughness stim brantch to just buff all toughness gains/regen then it would instantly become a good choice for havoc stuff

lapis raft
#

fun thing about the tougness branch is that one of the 2 final ones is just straight up worse than the travel nodes

vast cairn
#

yep

#

but imagine if it buffed the entire teams toughness gains by 80-100%

#

that'd be great

lapis raft
#

yea would be nice

vast cairn
#

like the full branch I mean

#

not just 1 node

lapis raft
#

but i feel like the toughness branch in general is like super unfinished

#

other branches have all 3 choices of actually somewhat useful stuff

#

this has 2 and both useless

vast cairn
#

the most useful thing about it is the DR and if you really want to invest into it, the instant 50% toughness gain

#

but that's so little

#

but if it gave like gold toughness alongside the 16% DR that would be pretty good I think

low harbor
vast cairn
lapis raft
#

if the regeneration were all toughness replenishment (or whatever is the generic stat) and then one of the final nodes was regen and other idk, something useful, would be nice

low harbor
#

If it was replenishment it needs to get cut by half minimum

lapis raft
#

sure that would be fine

#

could even be like 7.5% or whatever

low harbor
#

It should yea

vast cairn
#

but my point is the toughness should be actively gained rather than only via coherency

low harbor
#

Maybe they’ll fix the stim crate bug in January

#

Or February

vast cairn
low harbor
vast cairn
#

it really is always the worst of times too

low harbor
#

I’m waiting for them to get back from break

#

To put my guide on game launcher lol

livid raven
#

if the patch is not coming today (it won't), there will be no more patches this year

low harbor
#

Shouldn’t be

#

It’ll prob be next year

#

They alrdy finished the enforcer stuff for next shop rotation at end of year

neon fern
#

tell them to add ogryn vaulting please

#

for the love of gawd

livid raven
#

they can't vault?

neon fern
#

nooo!

livid raven
#

i remember them being able to

#

they just have some difficulties with some heights

neon fern
#

u probably jumped over it

#

ogryn literally canno't vault

livid raven
#

it was a window

low harbor
tired prairie
neon fern
#

might aswell say it's not a thing atp

livid raven
#

it is a thing

#

it just has been atrocious since the game released

tired prairie
#

But it is a thing; it’s just very inconsistent and broken

neon fern
#

yeah let me just twist my arms at a 80° angle and spin in circle three times in a row to do this very basic thing

livid raven
#

the angle only makes it more consistent

#

and everyone suffers from this, the vaulting system is just dog

#

ogryn is just more affected

neon fern
#

literally fine on all humans

#

look at ledge prss vault

#

they really need to work on ogryn vault cuz it's very important to vault in dt

main trellis
solemn thorn
hallow raft
subtle matrix
#

Is there much reason to use the chem toxin shots with the Needle Pistol? Seems like the explosive shots are basically as good

zenith fern
#

Smh KEKW_ogryn

livid raven
#

if you use the bad mark (the one with the explosive shot), you want to stick to the toxin shot only as it applies thrice the amount of toxin stacks compared to the explosive shots

#

the AOE of the explosive shot is very weak so you should probably never use it

winged bay
#

as long as there's infinite ammo, it's good for horde/mixed horde

livid raven
#

it isn't

winged bay
#

it is

livid raven
#

it does 50 damage at best

subtle matrix
#

It seemed like it was only applying 1 stack less in the meat grinder

livid raven
#

if you hit an enemy with like 8 shots before

livid raven
#

the aoe has tiny explosion radius and does pratically no damage

#

i suggest using the version with the toxin aoe if you want to shoot into crowds

subtle matrix
#

Is the one stack from toxin aoe going to make any actual difference?

livid raven
#

it kills chaff pretty well

subtle matrix
#

Fair enough

unreal stirrup
#

I thought vaulting with ogryn wasn't a thing

livid raven
#

does certainly more damage than the puny explosion

tired prairie
winged bay
#

the point of the explosion is to apply 1 stack in AoE to refresh/add

tired prairie
#

and Pickpocket is a thing

#

so you don't need to be stingy with the ammo

livid raven
#

that's the other mark

winged bay
#

what mark is he talking about

livid raven
#

the bad one

#

mk7

winged bay
#

how can I tell which one he is talking about even

livid raven
#

on death, the enemy explodes damaging near enemies

tired prairie
hybrid oyster
#

I think the point of the mk7 is for staggering

#

but there's other better options for that

#

lol

livid raven
#

it's a very small explosion radius and it doesn't stagger much

muted pivot
#

Is the blue mode actually good on the mark 2 then?

#

It seems marginal

unreal stirrup
#

yes

livid raven
#

it's ok against hordes

muted pivot
#

I'm running it on a rampage dependence build

unreal stirrup
#

because it spread toxin

tired prairie
winged bay
#

he didn't specify the mark

muted pivot
#

And I kinda feel like I'd rather just blender them down

unreal stirrup
#

it's not a lot but it beyter

livid raven
#

only one actually explodes enemies

tired prairie
livid raven
#

i wouldn't use ammo like that personally

but it does work

#

Also, dual autos vs vraks IAG (or another IAG if you prefer) for desperado vulture?

livid raven
#

it's ok once in a while

muted pivot
#

I guess always yellow shots for elites on needle

tired prairie
muted pivot
#

And you'd definitely favour the Vraks of the 3 IAGs?

#

It seems like the qualities that Vraks has over the other two are even more favoured on Scum

tired prairie
#

It has the best crit strings, ammo capacity, mobility and reload speed; so yeah, on these merits I would

#

You want crits on Scum/for Vulture's mark and just for an universal damage increase across all armour classes.

muted pivot
#

Groovy, just giving me some directions for when I next try tweaking this

#

Still not sure between middle or right keystone for generic melee shivs/needle build

#

Middle seems purpose built for shivs

#

But right is generically awesome, plus crit boost

tired prairie
#

I dislike Dependancy but it's not a bad keystone

winter tusk
muted pivot
#

Feels like right was built for bonesaw

#

Oh hey, it's the same version of DS4 that the balancing team uses

tired prairie

The entire right-bottom, right-most branch seems as if it were done with the bonesaw in mind 💀

#

Im back with another shower thought talent idea that could have been something if darktide had reasonable update turnarounds

Crits-give-toxin help for shivs there at least

But for spammy weapons, shivs still seem to 1-shot trash too much for chem synergy to really trigger idk?

Toughness replenishment, as in, not toughness regen in coherency? hmmtodayiwill

Survivability, but not dr

winged bay

what's the purpose of it being on use and resetting this buff if it doesn't have a real duration

flavor?

tired prairie
novel oracle
#

So its not just a build up for the first few minutes of a mission and then just flat buffs for the rest of it

winged bay
#

can your stimm be on cooldown when you get revived

novel oracle
#

I dont recall it being on cd when youre rezzed

winged bay
#

oh I didn't quite understand, so you can stack it

novel oracle
#

Its just flat small buffs that build up over the mission
And theyre the lesser used ones

#

And its explicitly tied to the viscosity of your stim, so now theres an additional layer beyond high effect high cd/low effect low cd

tired prairie
#

The toughness replenishment part seems a bit too easy to stack overall

radiant swift
#

unironcially res speed kinda nice on scum, since down time can mean death

novel oracle
#

Theres just too little done with the stim

radiant swift

drug class, looks inside 1 talent to use drugs more

unreal stirrup
novel oracle
#

I use rev speed on scum in place of stam regen on my standardized curio setup

#

And its really nice

unreal stirrup
#

it is "banking on failture" but it will save runs

novel oracle
#

With the revive speed changes its not necessarily banking on that anymore
You can literally unnet some so fast you can do it mid slide

radiant swift
#

fair, I just notice myself getting stopped or having to stop while ressing a lot on Scum

novel oracle
#

It only takes 1 knockback to ledge someone too

I just got yoinked into twins when queing damnation quickplay, I'm sorry to everyone whom I said had skill issue for not being able to play this class, damn

#

I was unfamiliar with your suffering

novel oracle
#

I think the last game I played was on hab dreyko and I was doing mid event scans on scum in the center hab room on the top floor
Turn around cuz I hear a burster and theres 4 crushers entering the room
Oh and theres another burster coming from the other direction at the same time that just didnt make enough noise cuz of the first one
I literally cant avoid that one with the wall of armor in front of me so I get bursted by it, and during the knockback instance I couldn't block so I got hit full force by one of the crusher side swipes

#

Down in literally 2 seconds and from the moment the situation was even able to be noticed, it wasnt able to be avoided

#

Sometimes it just happens

#

My point with that is the same can happen to your teammates
Even if theyre playing well shit can just happen
And thats where revive speed where you can fit it can excel

Question

#

Replenishment as in everything or coherency only?

unreal stirrup
#

replenishment is everything iirc

#

regeneration is coherency

Coherency only for you specifically
Replenishment for everyone else

So not dogshit

Good

Just like with every class really

After a couple of half invested stims, youd have a solid 15% revive speed and 15% replenishment

Born leader toughness share would kinda go crazy on scum

He shits out a fair amount of toughness

Its the lower dr giving that toughness lower value that makes squishier

I bet its the iron riders

tread lightlies my beloved

I take a guess.

The Show > Water Cartel > Tread Lightlies > Iron Riders

limber cradle
#

Nah water cartel is the most picked

pulsar aspen
#

Ah right.

limber cradle
#

But if you flip WC and Show i bet thats right

pulsar aspen
#

Probably because its the default option and most people wouldn't care really would they.

unreal stirrup

yeah

Truely?

limber cradle

Water cartel is the lowest option on the list

unique spire

Uh

The Iron Riders are too edgy

vernal sluice

WC is both recognizable as a preexisting entity in the game plus the white on purple is a very appealing color combo

limber cradle
#

Yeah

vernal sluice
#

From what I've personally seen iron riders seem to be the least picked

limber cradle
vernal sluice
#

so yeah, I'm also guessing Water Cartel > The Show > Tread Lightlies > Iron Riders

pulsar aspen
#

I have to say tho, the Iron Riders Legs are really good.

#

For me at least.

limber cradle
#

I think Tread Lightlies are the default gang?

#

I can make a new ganger when coffee is done brewing to check but ik it isnt WC

unique spire

It's so cool, dark and badass that people thought that if they picked them they would get shamed

Iron Riders are just speed freaks that have a chance to expire prematurely which is as high as the speed of the trains they are riding.

Water Cartel cosmetics are also easier to unlock.

pulsar aspen

I doubt that played a part in it.

Because even tho you are from one Cartel, does not mean you are restricted to just use those cosmetics.

And they probably did not know that to begin with, as Tongs said.

Tbh I picked WC because of the preset lore and liking them on Munda

2 teamies go down. Just me and another scum, both with about 10hp left. Had a Captain, 2 monsters and got knows how many elites and specials. He was on rampage and I was on box, both shivs/NP.

We dodge kited around the area for about 7m and managed to kill absolutely everything, after a bit I broke off and ascended the entire building complex, stopped a ritual and rescue both team mates with my tox bombs while the other guy cleared up.

from my experience i dont seem to run dry with gunslinger improved but ofc i could be spamming it more with pickpocket in the build

Stim crate gives you a stack of dependency so it’s easy to upkeep stacks in comparison to other builds

I am mainly using it to like, dome snipers I see while I am aggresively crushing peoples skulls in

eager reef
#

on the instagib build i swapped to ranged crit on melee kill specifically to build stacks on armor and bosses

#

as my crit bounces from 41 to 81

so it's entirely possible that while under the stim i get a single kill and have 100% crit

lapis raft

i just shoot one more time and dont worry much about maximizing the stacks per shot

as 6 stacks murder anything i actually need to one tap anyway already

and if you actually optimize run n gun its also extra damage

livid raven

all the blessings for sneedler suck

run and gun is like one of the very few that does actually something

lapis raft

well you can look at it another way, stripped down having 0 opportunity cost is pretty op xd

I am kinda shocked it didn't get anything special

livid raven

i don't rate stripped down that highly, especially with the current dodge situation

also yeah they should have made some new blessings for it
