fun elf fact: the vermintide website features sound clips of skaven specials doing their thing; in all cases, it's the elf that gets abused. they knew what they were doing.

Bardin (excited): "Did you see that?! Right through the Ogre's eye it went! Oh, oh, What a shot!" Elf (whiny and sulky voice): "Don't get true proud. It's not like it takes any skill to use that weapon."

All right, I pretty much have to get this game now. Probably pick it up early next week, I should have a couple days free coming up to mess with it.

I became a fan of Kruber when he intervened in Saltzpyre and the elf's feud. "Let her be, sir. She revels in her mysteries. Perhaps it's to hide a lack of substance." Unrelated, I'm starting to move toward getting good blue/orange gear for everyone now that I've got my mains decked out. What melee works nice on the elf? In particular, does the sword/dagger combination have a good charged attack?

The sword/dagger is awesome. So awesome it's really what all elf players should be using like 90% of the time. The weapon being so baller is one of the reasons I get so pissed when I see Elf perched up on a cabinet or some poo poo the next town over carefully picking off clanrats.

Every time I hear these characters talk I am reminded that less is more when it comes to dialogue in videogames. It might sound grandiose to say but the bar is pretty low: this is some of the best writing and/or voice acting I've heard in a game in a long time.

I basically was staunchly sienna-neutral until I heard that line. She's fine and all but she is really one dimensional and that dimension isn't funny like Saltzpyre's. Then that line came out and I was an instant fan

You can use the exact same tactics the rats use against your party, sneak past and hit them from the side. i've also gotten literally yelled at by pubbies lately for taking on stormvermin in melee. Why not, jesus just hit their heads and block occasionally, it's not like they're particularly maneuverable nor are regular rats an impediment

it becomes a bit more risk/rewardy on nightmare and cataclysm, because eating a single voulge smash will drop you. so instead just shoot them! Can't attack you if they can't get to you, hearing random people on steam flip out about (particularly SOLO) stormvermin is great.

Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:The conflag staff has the downside of blinding everyone it doesn't hurt, though. God that thing is the worst. Better blind than damaged. It's super useful for killing rats before they can hit your buddy since the attack speed is ludicrously fast. It's also good for culling hordes that are starting to overwhelm the group. Otherwise, just use a sword so you don't end up stuck with high heat at an inopportune time.

A stormvermin patrol wiped my team instantly on supply and demand so I spent the next 5 minutes dancing around solo killing them and the other specials that show up and they never complained about me afterwards.

I got an orange sword and shield for Kruber with Bloodlust, harder shoves, and chance to immediately replenish block and it's amazing. It really opened up the whole character for me. I feel like a loving god as long as I'm not being immediately bursted down. Unrelated, an argument blew up in a group about whether luck trinkets share across the whole group and, if so, whether they stack. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Have had some great games with goons on mumble/the Steam group, and might hop on for some more ratkilling later today. Luck affects only the chance of loot dice AFAIK, which are placed before the chests are opened. To any new players who want to play as a mage or elf; remember that you have melee. I've played with pubbies on nightmare who will keep plonking away when we are covering a corner, killing their teammates in the process. I've even had lvl 70+ elves on cataclysm who will just stand on a sniper perch and get grabbed by a hookrat, dying and inevitably loving over the team.

Mendrian posted:Well first you'd have to pin down what luck (really) even does. All indications from browsing the Fatshark forums, reddit, and the paltry wiki (read: all resources on the whole of the Webternet for this game, excluding this thread) says that it increases the chance for a luck die to be in a chest for the trinket wearer only.  Good luck getting people to let you open chests. This is, of course, is just  , but I have a 50% luck trinket (blue) and I will say that it comes up nil a lot. Basically, if you get a die in the first ~3 chests, you're basically guaranteed to find the other one soon after, but otherwise it's nothing. It also has seemed to increase the chance of a Sack Rat being on the map, even after I've collected both dice. I stand by it until proven otherwise.
