#

so you just needed a mod to allow you to make up to the server limit

#

and after arbites they upped the reg menu cap to max

#

but with scum they were already at their previous server cap, so they increased it by one then

#

granted if you don't have duplicate classes it's not a problem

#

I just like to do one male and one female for certain classes

wraith robin
verbal dew
#

like I currently have 2 psykers, 2 zealots, 2 scum

#

I mean they said they increased it by one

#

so idt they would not give us the server cap when they did for arbites

wraith robin
#

okay, thanks for all the details. cheers

obtuse ruin
#

say, what's the dumpstat for the stub pistols?

woeful hill
#

collat

obtuse ruin
#

awesome, thanks ainz

lost ravine
#

collateral is dump on anything it is on

#

kind of like warp res

woeful hill
#

I think the only weapon that doesnt dump full 60 collat is ripper

#

which is ammo dump if running blaze/inspiring

#

66% ammo rest into collat

limber cradle
#

Yeah, something about the ammo in a mag equating to one shell per stack of blaze or something?

woeful hill
#

yeah

obtuse ruin
#

also, the ranged dual autos build, would that also work if I swapped dual stub pistols? Or would I have to change stuff?

limber cradle
#

.45s aren't a primary for desp like the autos are

#

They serve best as a back up to a melee build ime

limber cradle
woeful hill
#

i get some funny death poses from my solos

marble seal
limber cradle
#

Nah like, it's nice knowing you still die, yk?

woeful hill
limber cradle
#

Looks hungover

#

I've seen unhoused people posted up the same way

woeful hill
obtuse ruin
limber cradle
#

I mean

#

I firmly believe anything in this game works if you're good

lost ravine
limber cradle
#

But I've ran .45s desp a lot and it's definitely nowhere near as good as it's competition

zenith fern
# woeful hill

Maybe rot armour is not as bad everyone keep saying, just put yourself in a corner and fight everything

limber cradle
lost ravine
#

plus infinite style points

woeful hill
limber cradle
#

They're my favorite

woeful hill
#

if I am back agaisnt walls thats half of my slots removed

zenith fern
#

Yeah

#

It is honestly something i never knew until that youtube video

woeful hill
#

I hug walls alot

limber cradle
#

Gotcha

limber cradle
#

I mean

#

Have you used DAPs or Vraks?

#

They just remove whatever you point them at for no effort at all.

limber cradle
#

I don't normally like being against walls cause that limits an avenue of movement

zenith fern
#

Only if you position yourself very bad

woeful hill
#

it becomes a habit for some situations with melee heavy

limber cradle
#

I like my freedom

lost ravine
woeful hill
#

yeah, flamers and bombers do counter it

#

trappers at some angles

limber cradle
#

Trappers don't give a fuck about solid terrain anyway

limber cradle
#

My concern are bombers, flamers, and generally getting stuck there

obtuse ruin
woeful hill
#

I mean as if you are parallel, its a lot harder to dodge compared to perpendicular

limber cradle
#

I don't like vraks so I don't use it

#

Wonderbread gun, no feeling, no flavor

obtuse ruin
limber cradle
#

Afaik nothing changes

obtuse ruin
#

good

#

and finally, I saw in that pinned ranged build it only had the cooldown path on the stim lab, was that done as like. so you have more cooldown, or just cause the other path is flexible?

livid raven
#

Just to maximize desperado use

#

I think that build is somewhat old tho

obtuse ruin
limber cradle
# woeful hill

Yeah man tbh I would never be willing to stick myself in that area to begin with

woeful hill
#

yeah

livid raven
woeful hill
#

I made a major mistake there

#

I saw an opening

#

but then the mutant saved me

limber cradle
#

Yes it did lol

#

Thank you mutie

livid raven
#

At lesst on vraks, i prefer getting both the agility and strength path on stimm instead

obtuse ruin
#

so not the cooldown then?

livid raven
#

Try both and see which you prefer

zenith fern
#

From the coming trapper

livid raven
#

Strength and agility are better against crushers, elite spam and bosses

limber cradle
#

My favorite stim is finesse+movement tbh

#

On like any given set up for scum

livid raven
#

Desperado spam is more general utility

#

I don't think i would take finesse on dual uzi

verbal dew
#

I'm always always strength+cc and attack speed+stun/reload speed

obtuse ruin
#

yea, but I'm using the vraks right now not the uzis. As I do not honestly like the uzis much

livid raven
#

Then you should try full agility and strength

#

Either rending or finesse

verbal dew
#

I don't feel like rending is worth it a lot, because when you need rending it's usually that bad

obtuse ruin
#

and talents, any must-haves that I might've missed?

verbal dew
#

well idk your build so

zenith fern
obtuse ruin
#

I mean, I said before I'm using the one in pinned. Only difference is I'm using a vraks

zenith fern
#

I will be honest I never ever bother using the left aura

#

Even for desperado builds

verbal dew
#

imagine skipping nimble

#

this build looks old

zenith fern
#

Yeah

verbal dew
#

I have also never invested in both ranged and melee at the top tree

zenith fern
#

Only been updated with the tree talent swap changes

#

Sticky hands and Calliing for time out is something i dont pick for ranged builds

#

Little mixed about Unload

#

Guess this works little better with one spare talent of your choice

verbal dew
#

my ranged builds are usually one of these

zenith fern
#

What weapons are for that right build

livid raven
#

i do this

verbal dew
#

I've run that with db or stub pistol

#

blitz is whatever is helpful for your build

#

blackout requires pocket toxin and doesn't need +1 blitz

#

but it's not easy to skip +1 blitz

livid raven
#

i think rocket is just way too stupid to avoid in a ranged build

zenith fern
#

Yeah

#

It really the best to crack armour

verbal dew
#

stub can get some p good adm on weakspot crits

#

but ye rocket if you're just expecting blocks of armor

obtuse ruin
#

I see, well thanks for all the advice

#

and yea, rocket is funny ngl

verbal dew
#

biggest glow up ever for any blitz

#

shit at launch, peak now

#

even at h40 it's so damn good

#

stim up and let loose

zenith fern
#

The "panic" button

obtuse ruin
#

I personally see it as the
"Don't wanna deal with that" button

zenith fern
#

Id say that but literally half of scums use rpg for a single crusher pack or few ogryns lmao

verbal dew
#

if you got a vet then you just expect them to krak the simpler packs

livid raven
#

i won't use a rocket against 10 ragers or maulers

verbal dew
#

and save up for when it starts to mass up a lot

livid raven
#

but that lone bulwark is getting exploded as soon as i see him

verbal dew
#

there's nothing more satisfying than facing 4 garden bulwarks running towards you

#

aim at the middle's feet

#

killfeed 4 bulwarks

livid raven
#

maybe not the best of use of a rocket

zenith fern
#

4 bulwarks is a waste

livid raven
#

but i didn't pay 40 bucks to shoot at an invisible hitbox several times larger than the shield

verbal dew
#

idk, I never expect to be able to run around an h40 forever with rockets to spare

#

either you die or the team is just not using that many grenade slot stuff

livid raven
#

i'd imagine the hivescum with the rockets would have priority over the grenade stock anyway

verbal dew
#

ye but im not gonna be too greedy when there's a frag ogryn for example

#

I usually just skip most ammo

mighty belfry
livid raven
#

i too hate when the class with absurd grenades and no other way to recharge them unlike the other classes has priority over grenades

mighty belfry
#

Taking away the agency of other players because you have the better nade doesn't sit well with me, esp in havoc

#

It's a team game. And everyone should have their share of resources.

livid raven
#

which is why they should buff rocket and give it a 60 seconds recharge, i fully agree

#

actually, that's stupid

#

i think pickpocket should also recharge a blitz charge

livid raven
#

man i hope that's going to be a thing in the chaos wastes mode they are surely going to add

#

tho i suppose they would just recycle the mortis trial perk

tranquil fjord
#

pinning fire or cavalcade for the shredder auto

#

or, general blessing setup

obtuse ruin
#

@livid raven @verbal dew thanks for the build recommendations btw! Those felt much more functional.

.. also I can see why people like gunscum now, shit felt fucking hilarious.

verbal dew
#

oh I forgot sticky hands on my images, but ye

muted pivot
#

At least in high havoc

#

Not just all playing lone wolf and taking resources without a thought for what the team needs

mighty belfry
#

Can't get around that way of thinking cuz basically nerfing my teammates is a sure way for trouble

muted pivot
#

Not saying the Ogryn shouldn't take any

mighty belfry
#

And that's just not a good idea in Havoc lol

muted pivot
#

But they should let the scum refill first

livid raven
#

is not giving the grenade to the classes with absurd grenades nerfing the team

muted pivot
#

It's an error

mighty belfry
muted pivot
#

Along the same lines as having the Inferno Psyker focusing on the boss while the thunder hammer Zealot is working on the hordes

mighty belfry
#

If I see the ogryn at red and I'm at like

#

Two rockets

#

I don't need those rockets.

muted pivot
#

Yeah, better that the Ogryn has a panic button

mighty belfry
#

Nade pickups are frequent enough

#

And the ogryn could do with that panic button on their time instead of depending on me to do it

muted pivot
#

Anybody at 0 remaining has priority over anybody with at least 2

mighty belfry
#

Some people think the scum should just use all the nades at that moment and take them

#

Nah that's lame

muted pivot
#

But also scum should be using theirs more proactively than the others to deal with the fact that the others' are lower impact

#

You want as many of those grenade pickups as possible to turn into RPGs

mighty belfry
#

Actually had a zealot that was confused I wouldn't take the pickup when I was at 2 and he was at 0 yesterday lol

#

I guess it's also

#

I'd rather others actually have fun.

main trellis
muted pivot
#

having a blitz in your back pocket can be the missing ingredient to a clutch

#

always good to have that option open

muted pivot
#

btw how do we build our rashads?

livid raven
#

with prejudice

muted pivot
#

headtaker bromentum and what? carapace unyielding?

verbal dew
#

take some nyquil and go to sleep

#

it's the best snooze in the game

#

shame that it has so many nice skins

low harbor
muted pivot
#

what does unarmoured help with?

mighty belfry
low harbor
#

Scab bruiser 815hp head

#

Unarmored

muted pivot
#

groovy

mighty belfry
#

Also, helps build up HV quicker.

muted pivot
#

that's to help get the kill without needing AF/rampage active I guess

low harbor
muted pivot
#

I feel like needle pistol is unnecessary with how fantastic the carapace adm is on heavies

#

for rashad rampage scum

#

thinking of taking dual stubbies maybe, haven't used them before

sturdy linden
#

try mk6 bistol

#

is like blackouts

#

but can snipe

muted pivot
#

I wanna do that in a desperado build

#

more than a rampage one

#

I love my zealot's mark 6, great complement to a chain axe

sturdy linden
#

because Desperado is gated by reload time

#

and bistol just doesn't have good reload time

#

maybe you might like it though

#

I've seen an agri shotty desperado scum do really well

muted pivot
#

how many ways to pump reload speed

#

maybe worth it to even take the perk?

#

if that's such an issue

marble seal
#

It works but it’s pretty much just slower less fun uzis

bronze glade
#

Explodey bistol desperado is just hood traumaker

#

It’s very safe

#

Because everything is on the ground eating shit

#

Hey fatshark

#

Add bolter to scum

#

:)

sturdy linden
bronze glade
#

well whether you like it is subjective

#

vraks desperado is very strong, feels like ass to me tho

#

speaking of which, explodey bistol does have similar horde clear times to vraks

mighty belfry
#

i hadnt even realized you casually ate a sniper shot through this lmao

tiny aurora
#

Someone told me in chat today that hive scum is a pay to win class 🤣

novel oracle
#

i mean it would be if psyker wasnt free

#

so either you have psyker or paid psyker

tiny aurora
#

brother, arbites is right there lol

mighty belfry
novel oracle
#

yeah i know
doesnt compare to how buttfuck busted scum and psyker are

mighty belfry
#

idk if i can really say they're a pay to win class

novel oracle
#

arbites is easy mode but if you use 2 more brain cells hive scum clears it in every possible way

tiny aurora
#

^ this

#

i need to actually be awake to play hive scum

novel oracle
#

no you dont

mighty belfry
#

arbites is good for ease of use but their power has a really hard plateau

novel oracle
#

2 more brain cells is not that much of a difference

#

for like 3x the offensive power

tiny aurora
novel oracle
#

my point is that hive scum can pretty easily pull of some absolutely stupid shit with barely a thought

#

arbites cant, not because they require thinking, but because they dont have the same strength

keen sapphire
#

"glass cannon" except you can be literally invincible

tiny aurora
#

yee only class though where ive felt the level 30 needed is for proper enjoyment

#

like hive scum with max level is awesome

#

but it was the most miserable grind to max level of all the classes for me

#

now its my most played class that's not ogryn

keen sapphire
#

i was kinda regretting buying hiver but once i got to 30 and got actual builds its crazy

tiny aurora
#

Yee. Also it took awhile for me to find what worked weapons wise.

keen sapphire
#

i want crowbar to work but its just

#

so slow and clunky

tiny aurora
#

i know

keen sapphire
#

which i suck with any weapons like that

tiny aurora
#

the feeling of hitting a mutie with a fully charged limbsplitter crowbar though

#

👌

#

also the squelch sound when you drive the pointy end into someone's head

untold sonnet
#

does needle damage perks affect dot? like 25% dmg against unyielding?

keen sapphire
#

idk

#

prob not

untold sonnet
#

I see. So I guess the perks would be-

low harbor
#

In-hand weapon’s perks always do

untold sonnet
#

so perk is what? reload speed + dmg?

low harbor
#

Unyielding + reload

untold sonnet
#

gotcha

#

thanks

That’s in the standard mode

#

can scum oneshot crushers with hsword

#

does bladed momentum help

mighty belfry
#

But it requires hyperviolence setup to do it

neat delta
#

i got it in my build

mighty belfry
#

also highly recommend channeled aggression and rending stimms

#

or crit chance stimms

neat delta
#

oh its that much

mighty belfry

hsword requires some real investment

#

but it does give a good pay off

oh really

mighty belfry
#

yeah...

#

Could be just coincidence but then the game I just did with Final Toll and Rits

#

Just fine

keen sapphire
#

i fucking love

#

dual pistol gun hiver

#

its so fucking fun to just be in an action movie

#

1 or 2 on gun build

#

i think 1 since its ranged and movement and not really melee

I myself like the Tread Lightlies colour scheme. it matches with the white Reaper Mask's scarf better. (and the Branx Minor Livery weapon skins match the theme better too, so the blood on my melees is actually visible unlike with Fire Wastes Camo, which I would use if I still were an Iron Rider)

you went chem dep or adrenaline?

#

and hammerblow... for cheapshots?

#

i would take hammerblow with skullcrusher but without it, not sure

mighty belfry
#

Chem dep

verbal dew
#

I direct all build questions to goblin-san

#

shit works

mighty belfry
#

Skullcrusher is OK but just

#

I didn't find it consistent

#

And you want to crit as much as possible to let hypercrit explode your horde clear to stupid levels

#

Hammerblow itself is just good cuz it gives scum a level of CC no other weapon really does. Not even axes are as good at staggering.

calm aurora
#

taxe

Like don't get me wrong

#

Taxe is amazing regardless

#

But it does not give me the consistency of constantly stopping a crusher in its overhead

main trellis
mighty belfry
#

Or stopping a rager before they can do their stupid combos

#

I didn't even know wrath was there. I run shred with hammerblow

#

Since crits contribute to stagger

#

And stagger cuts down hit mass which makes wrath honestly kinda redundant

#

...At least until you're dealing with ourple

zenith pagoda
#

I can see mobian and rituals in havoc, what was swapped out?

mighty belfry
#

Also has anyone experienced crashing in moebian

#

Cuz i did last night in my 40

#

And someone told me there's been crashes in moebian

#

So I'm worried I have a bricked Havoc mission KEKW_ogryn

verbal dew
#

I've done 2 moebian ones, no crashes so far

#

maybe even 3, idr

mighty belfry
#

Weird

verbal dew
mighty belfry
#

Mine is specifically final toll + moebian 21st

#

Maybe I'll try it again and see what happens

#

Oh no did I put wrath in the guide

verbal dew
#

I'll swap to shred then

mighty belfry
#

It was supposed to be shred

#

Ya

#

Shred is better

#

Barely less horde clear for better single target and stagger thresholds

#

Way more worth

verbal dew
#

ye no I just assumed wrath was key

#

since I wouldn't normally try hammerblow either

mighty belfry
#

Hammerblow in a vast majority of cases

#

And I've used it on more classes after this

#

Is better

verbal dew
#

avg 40% crit throughout missions

mighty belfry
#

Because it also increases your cleave anyway

verbal dew
mighty belfry
#

Might have been just a gnarly coincidence on the other dudes part then

#

It was also weird because it was only two of us that crashed

#

But we also crashed at the same exact time

verbal dew
#

an ogryn crashed at the worst time in my last one that was garden 21st

#

so we lost because the only player not down was replaced with a bot

mighty belfry
#

Thanks fatshark

also at the final stretch before elevator so even more unfort

main trellis
# mighty belfry I didn't even know wrath was there. I run shred with hammerblow

I tested shred vs SC
The dmg vs key enemies like crushers & surprisingly bosses did not change much while obviously other enemies get killed faster cause HV but its still gamba
However SC provides more for the team especially vs bosses & it helps with other enemies too cause hammerblow & power stacking with rampage & stimm
I would advocate for SC > shred

New research has emerged from The Center for Hive Scum Builds after a 50million dollar 10 year study:

Shivs: explodes mauler in 0.1sec
Tac axe: explodes mauler in 0.1sec

Flakiac riposte precog/uncanny

limber cradle

I run this with Uncanny Riposte Shivs/Cara/Unyielding

Sometimes I swap crit chance to melee damage

You're fine

olive yoke

Uh

Feels like this

Spiritually identifying with a blender

vapid jungle

You don't miss the cleave on hit talent?

You’re not a true blender unless you run 9 stam with rampage adren on shivs!

I am addicted to movement buffs

olive yoke
# limber cradle

sorry and thank you again :)) i really wanted to use shivs your a legends

#

oh hell yh movement buffs will be sick with this build

limber cradle
#

No need to apologize, and no problem.

#

gun is your personal taste

#

i run .45s with flak/maniacs/run and gun/sustained fire for style points

olive yoke
#

im curious on the needle gun or something i think its called that

limber cradle
#

i was given two hands and im using them both for my weapons

olive yoke
#

alltghough i like the uzi

#

dual uzis

limber cradle

idk what the consensus on 1 vs 3 is rn

olive yoke
#

good to know that you guys are awesome and willing to help people dumb with builds i appreciate it :))

olive yoke
bronze glade
#

3 is better for blender memes

olive yoke
#

this is my current shivs

1 is the better mark overall

limber cradle

Yes

olive yoke

first time using needle gun will have to unlock them easy 🙂

limber cradle
#

Take Mk II

#

Put it in special mode

#

Enjoy

olive yoke
#

think i gotta unlock it heh

#

but will do

zenith fern
#

But that will do as you level it up

limber cradle
#

I don't see as many desp scum in the wild anymore

olive yoke
#

wait so get rid of it?

limber cradle

Maybe nature is healing

olive yoke

iw as but in mission with your build and already prefer its amazing

limber cradle
olive yoke
#

yh for sure am! rampage is aweome

strange acorn
#

I started playing desperado but stimm build is legitimately some of the most fun I've had with this game

olive yoke
#

yeah its amazing im delighted i switched desperado was kind of boring

#

to me at least

limber cradle
limber cradle

Its very brain off which is good sometimes but not all the time

God I love Scum

#

Great class

mighty belfry
#

alright, I am up from my extended slumber

#

SC Dclaw with pocket blackouts and bistol

Let's see how this goes

limber cradle
#

Sleep or do you nap like i nap

olive yoke
limber cradle
#

3 hours at a time

mighty belfry
mighty belfry
#

Properly until lke

#

uh

zenith fern
#

Desperado is a dead trap

mighty belfry
#

shortly after I sent my last message here

olive yoke
#

or like me get 8 hours then have a nap hehehe

mighty belfry
#

And then I took a two hour nap

olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

The kinda nap that's left skidmarks on my face

zenith fern
#

Brother I like went to bed at midnight until 7am, then later I took a nap from 2pm until 6pm

mighty belfry
#

And I'm just letting coffee do its thing because I am one drowsy bitch rn

zenith fern
#

What night shifts does to a mf

mighty belfry
#

This week I had a a

olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

Five hour nap

olive yoke
#

oof caps

zenith fern
#

But honestly it also how little or almost nothing is happening with me

mighty belfry
#

Because of a fever

zenith fern
#

There's so little activity irl and on discord and I just go like, why should I bother and decide to nap constantly

#

And then I remember I have work later

olive yoke
mighty belfry
olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

honestly yeah

olive yoke
#

tbf they are the best ones haha

olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

this was the kinda fever actually felt like a dream

olive yoke
#

so used to naps now haha

limber cradle
mighty belfry
#

i got delirious from how bad it was

#

and somehow

#

i got my havoc 40 assignment through that

olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

and i almost didn't even remember that it happened

olive yoke
limber cradle
#

So like

#

Does curios as a mission reward blessing work rn

mighty belfry
limber cradle
#

I have 3 on

#

Haven't gotten a single curio let alone a usable one

mighty belfry
#

Have you ever used a high crit build at like 80% and then managed to miss four times?

#

Probability is a bitch.

limber cradle
#

From memory, no

mighty belfry
#

It's incredibly rare.

#

But it's happened to me.

zenith fern
#

Same timezones we share

mighty belfry
#

Because there's always a nonzero chance that will happen

limber cradle
#

My friends do not play games i like

#

I've given up on it

zenith fern
#

Same

mighty belfry
#

Same thing with curio rewards

limber cradle
#

Give me a curio you greedy bastard game

mighty belfry
#

I

#

am on a task to get 21% health curios for all of my classes

#

currently my task is fruitless only having like

limber cradle
#

I'm trying to get a 2nd and 3rd 21 percent HP for Scum.rn

mighty belfry
#

4 across all of them

#

honestly

#

i run 20s

#

at least rn

#

i'm trying a different setup path recommended because when we were talking about the netcode

limber cradle
#

I cant get 20s to show up in shop

#

Nor from melk

#

Nor dropped from a mission

mighty belfry
#

he mentioned maxxing health might be a weird play solely because netcode is real fucky and ranged threats are more of an issue than they should be rn

#

which, i've seen this happening

limber cradle
#

See

#

Path reccomended me 3x hp curios yesterday lol

mighty belfry
#

mfs are just straight up ignoring my slides sometimes

mighty belfry
#

Because something is genuinely off about this game rn

limber cradle
#

I like having 3x of every curio anyway

#

Irregardless of who reccomends it

limber cradle
mighty belfry
#

The water has never been more wet

#

Dude I'm seeing lag spikes, ghost hits, dcs and crashes galore

#

And again

#

GETTING SHOT WHILE SLIDING

#

YOU KNOW

#

THE THING THAT SHOULD LET ME DODGE THAT

verbal dew
#

I have two 21 and one 20 on my healthmaxxer scum

#

I wonder if I hit 200 health with a 21%

#

since I'm at 198 now

mighty belfry
#

You probably will

limber cradle
#

I love spawning into a mission with an already eaten wound

#

And no ammo in my mags

#

On fire

olive yoke
#

you peeps are cool :))

limber cradle
#

Yeah I like Goblin, they're alright.

mighty belfry
olive yoke
#

you too!

#

new to hanging out here :))

mighty belfry
#

i'm just a goober who likes this abusive videogame a little too much

limber cradle
#

Scum chat is tbh my favorite class chat

#

Little shitposty but not like zealot chat

#

Good info normally

olive yoke
#

this is only chat ive been in besides general heh

low harbor
olive yoke
#

lot of scum to be played before i do others

low harbor
#

Game is so chalked rn

mighty belfry
low harbor
#

I get shot while sliding (legally cannot occur according to game code)

mighty belfry
#

but yeah the gamestate is

#

idk what the hell happened

low harbor
#

I’m now running
+17% toughness
+21% health x2

x80% gunner x3
+5% toughness x2
+12% stam regen x2
x88% block cost x2

#

Across all classes

olive yoke
#

im only new so i love it heh i dont understand alot of the stuff you all probably hate heh

mighty belfry
#

don't be a smyker

olive yoke
#

i have a 30 zealot and 15 veteran and now 25 scum

mighty belfry
#

this is psyker btw

low harbor
#

I don’t mind it

olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

and it teaches bad habits for a newer player

olive yoke
#

i think of all classes it interests me the least so thats good

#

i love the build tongs gave me with shivs its peak fun

mighty belfry
#

that's, actually surprising lmao

low harbor
#

Most new players go vet first

#

Even tho I don’t think that’s the right thing to do

mighty belfry
olive yoke
mighty belfry
#

I feel like I've seen that more with psyker in recent time

#

Also I agree. Zealot's probably the best starter class all around.

low harbor
#

Arb is the best starter class

mighty belfry
olive yoke
#

I will do arb after hivescum i reckon

mighty belfry
#

Also I honestly kinda disagree.

olive yoke
#

I heard arb can teach really bad habits for new player so I went hive scumbag instead

#

Scum*

mighty belfry
#

Because zealot is easy to get into but punishing enough at times to make someone learn fundamentals.

#

Arb

#

You can just get away with so much in base game that you barely ever encounter that.

low harbor
#

Arb teaches u that u can get out of everything by staggering them

#

Vet teaches u that u can get out of everything with dps

#

Psyker teaches you can u can get out of everything by playing <50% of the game

thorny ginkgo
#

whoever said tac axe is the strongest melee knows balls

#

this was just a normal auric match

olive yoke
mighty belfry
thorny ginkgo
#

psyker is the strongest class but majority of ppl can't play it right

low harbor
#

Ogryn teaches u brainrot

thorny ginkgo
#

at least the people i quickplay with

limber cradle
#

Genuinely drives me insane

thorny ginkgo
#

ogryn has one of the top 3 strongest builds in the game

#

most brain dead build at that it doesn't require much skill

thorny ginkgo
low harbor
zenith fern
thorny ginkgo
#

damn

low harbor
#

You need someone to feed you ammo and you can’t frontline as good

thorny ginkgo
#

guess it depends on team comp

low harbor
#

Well

thorny ginkgo
#

but the frontline on that build is caca

low harbor
#

If u have 2 people feeding u ammo + a psyker

#

U can make it work

#

I just wouldn’t call it top3

thorny ginkgo
#

whats ur top 3 for havoc

low harbor
#

T0: psyker, ranged hvs
T1: vet, melee hvs, chemist hvs, ranged rumbler og
T1.5: arb, melee og, zealot
T2: ranged non-rumbler og

#

This is overall

thorny ginkgo
#

yea i agree

exotic sphinx
#

How do you use the crowbar well, it seems to suck in both modes in my hands

exotic sphinx
#

Leveling up still, only 18

low harbor
#

Oh then it’ll prob just suck lol

low harbor
#

Crowbar is ok with a full melee spec build

zenith fern
#

You can do very funny stuff with rampage crowbar, outside of it is a sad weapon

obtuse ruin
#

I have once again come to ask for build advice!

I specifically need a more melee focused build for the penances with adrenaline frenzy and rampage. What additions to the keystone and ability should I take? If any?

secondary question, shivs work for that kinda build right?

zenith fern
#

Any melee can work for rampage maybe except bonesaw

bronze glade
#

I’d say saw wants rampage tbh

#

Like cbar it needs every melee buff it can get

#

Especially for attack speed

zenith fern
#

Shout rampage is also good

#

Maybe even busted after exhaustion removal lmao

#

Though the second shout does not work for some reason

bronze glade
#

I thought they fixed it

zenith fern
#

Was it?

mighty belfry
#

Yeah.

zenith fern
#

I been playing crate supply lately so I did not know

low harbor
#

Will FatShark release a hotfix that fixes the stutters this week

#

Or will they just stay radio silent

zenith fern
#

Bet on nothing

obtuse ruin
#

would this work? Or did I do some major fuckup with the ability and keystone?

obtuse ruin
#

instead of uncontrolled I'm guessing then?

low harbor
#

What’s uncontrolled

obtuse ruin
#

increases stack duration

low harbor
#

Yea that one not needed

#

20s duration upgrade good

#

Can also go smiter + toughness replenishment

obtuse ruin
#

I could, but I'm also partially doing this for penances as normally I'd be running dependency. So I think the extra duration might be nice for that

#

and the ability? Shout and increased duration seemed pretty good

limber cradle
zenith fern
#

Like the Ogryn "players" or actual players

limber cradle
#

Depends on what you consider Og chat regulars ig

zenith fern
#

Most of us there are chill

#

And we like to talk about the people who claim Ogryn is the worst class lol

bronze glade
#

Tbf ogryn prob is

#

And it deserves it KEKW_ogryn thumbsup_ogryn

lost ravine
#

ogryn is at least top 6 classes

mighty belfry
#

I mean. You can say it is. But I think it's overblown how worse it actually is

thorny ginkgo
#

ogryn>zealot>arbites>vet>scum>psyker

zenith fern
#

March update, Ogryn rework 2

#

With expeditions mode

#

Mortis trials 2 update

mighty belfry
#

Ogryn's still perfectably usable. But there's some pretty big drawbacks to playing them that their current level of power isn't fully making up for rn ime

#

Also

#

Nuke

thorny ginkgo
#

ogryn just needs better toughness replenishment

zenith fern
#

I want his weapons still buffed still

#

Mainly the cleavers and twin link

#

I love cleavers but it so weak on carapace

lost ravine
#

zealot bad?

thorny ginkgo
#

in my opinion it's boring

#

besides heavy evi martyr

mighty belfry
#

Zealot

#

Is honestly weird

thorny ginkgo
#

scum does melee way better

lost ravine
#

melee scum is like zealot without seatbelts

mighty belfry
#

Like in a vacuum, they def are on the lower end

lost ravine
#

but that's not exactly accurate of me to say either

mighty belfry
#

But, a player who knows what they're doing with that can also make them excel

lost ravine
#

because while there is undeniably some overlap between the two

limber cradle
thorny ginkgo
#

if you are competent with dodging and the basics then scum is top tier

lost ravine
#

there is also more that they do not have in common

mighty belfry
#

Like, Scum is also about sustained DPS

#

Zealot is on the complete opposite end where they can be all about pure burst damage.

#

Barring chorus obv

limber cradle
thorny ginkgo
#

zealot is my least played class

limber cradle
#

I still need access to another hp trinket on scum tho

#

Id take a 20 atp

lost ravine
#

scum is my least played class by virtue of being the last one to release (as of yet)

#

but it is certainly enjoyable

limber cradle
#

Ive still played more scum than zealot even with it being the newest class

#

I didn't like zealot at all till relic blade

thorny ginkgo
#

scum is more fun than snorefest "inferno" psyker

lost ravine
#

i liked zealot since mkxv evis

limber cradle
#

I had really bad memories of evis so I never used it+took a year or so break

thorny ginkgo
mighty belfry
#

stealth relic actively made me use zealot more

#

prob one of my favorite builds

near mauve
#

relic blade made me use shroudfield in the first place

mighty belfry
#

and shockingly one of my most consistent too

near mauve
#

i only ever used it for meme thunder hammer builds

#

now why even bother using thunder hammer when i can do the same with rb

#

(outside of fun factor)

limber cradle
#

I think you're just using this as an excuse to post your name.

thorny ginkgo
limber cradle
lost ravine
#

cursed

mighty belfry
#

tbf it does lack in raw unyielding damage like the thunder hammer has

#

but

#

i'd rather relic anyway

#

better feeling moveset

near mauve
mighty belfry
#

way better for mixed horde

lost ravine
#

thunder hammer made me sad when i realized that it does not distribute pain equally

limber cradle
#

Its just not my kind of gimmick, I've never liked thammer

lost ravine
#

it simply overkills the hell out of the first target hit and then launches the rest

mighty belfry
#

and it's not so much worse with bossing that it's a throwaway cuz of it

#

esp since it can skip captains

#

which is huge in havoc

near mauve
#

here's how to horde clear with thammer

#

u bring a falmer and vaccum ammo

#

thnaks for coming to my ted talk

limber cradle
thorny ginkgo
#

flamer everlasting flame

lost ravine
#

thammer has always been weird

limber cradle
#

Thammer zealot is great in havoc cause there's a fuckton of bosses

mighty belfry
lost ravine
#

single target? heavy
multitarget? heavy

near mauve
#

thammer simply needs the shock aoe from sm2 Haha

mighty belfry
#

can really make a diff

near mauve
#

or power maul

mighty belfry
#

but then a good relic zealot

#

can also make a diff

#

in a more generally applicable way

limber cradle
#

To more things

#

I like RB, good weapon

olive yoke
#

i love my hivescum

thorny ginkgo
#

this class sucks should've been admech

limber cradle
#

Me too buddy

limber cradle
#

Oh the joys of a cat

lost ravine

cats are excellent creatures

#

highly recommend

woeful hill
limber cradle
#

Agreed

limber cradle
low harbor
limber cradle
#

Yeah well

#

Tell brunt to sell me some HP curios

#

Or tell big e to drop the mfs

low harbor
#

basically

#

2x stam regen + 2x block cost means

#

every 1s you spend regenerating stamina

#

ur getting 1.6 equivalent stamina for blocking

#

which helps more for kiting enemies u actually want to block in my experience

limber cradle
#

Load into mission, see SG Smite Psyker

#

Leave mission

low harbor
#

and u get stamina back faster for block/push

woeful hill
#

I have a clip like that

#

load into a 4 psyker team

#

1st drop

#

smiting

#

leave

limber cradle
#

I don't even give them the benefit of the doubt now

#

I left in lobby

limber cradle
low harbor
#

chainaxe XII (it's the better of the two chainaxes)

limber cradle
#

Hate them ngl

#

I have deeply detrimental memories of ChAxe

low harbor
#

chainaxe XII is like
what if eviscerator XV didn't suck vs mixed horde

#

and waoh it works

limber cradle
#

I don't use Evis either tbh

low harbor
#

chainaxe also has insane block profile
