Stormvermin Champion boss fight is all. Has one cheapass attack you can't do a loving thing about where he jumps forward and stabs the ground. Massive hit radius, no blocking it.

Chieftain. Which is a hero, as opposed to a lord. Surprisingly robust for a dude that cost 45 points on the tabletop

Fatshark took my advice  Pack-Masters now affected by knock-back trait 2-Handed Hammer: Now one shots Clan Rats on Headshot in Cataclysm difficulty Improved damage against boss units Improved armour piercing damage across the board War-pick: Tweaked armoured and unarmoured damage for nicer progression curve (removed overkill vs unarmoured) Increased armoured damage for green/blue to hit damage thresholds Repeating Handgun: Reduced recoil and made Spin charged attack uninterruptable Increased Damage output for Repeating Handgun Changed hold input for Spin charged attack to left mouse (instead of right mouse) Slowdown for charged attack is now applied earlier Slightly decreased the spread while moving with the repeating handgun Single-target Attacks: 1h axe heavy/2h axe light/1h hammer heavy - tweaked blue/green weapon damage to hit target thresholds (blue: lower unarmoured dmg, lower armoured dmg. Green: Lower armoured dmg)

what does the RMB do on the repeater handgun if not charge the mag-dump now?

It means this: When you hold right click, you spin up the gun. BEFORE, when you pressed LMB, it would start mag dumping. NOW, when you press LMB, you have to hold it if you want to fire more. If you just tap it, you'll do a double-tap fire. It's better this way. You can basically double-tap, firing two shots simultaneously, by spamming LMB while holding RMB now.

I'm pretty sure the 2h hammer already killed on a headshot on cataclysm so I'm not sure what that change means, but at least they're finally not giving it tiny inexplicable nerfs! Also I don't know why they're buffing the repeater handgun again after they already gave it a mega buff, instead of buffing the garbo repeater pistol, but I won't complain

No headshot multiplier so it's +1. Cata clan rats have 10 HP so all you were doing was playing Whack-a-Skaven. Digirat posted:Also why is fatshark so concerned with removing "overkill" like why does that matter in the slightest Because the scoreboard at the end was so ruined when one person got 7000+ damage and everyone else had 500 My video is done and uploading so we'll get that posted later when Coolguy is off work.

2-handed hammer does 8 damage headshots to the Stormvermin now  That's incredible, 2-shot stormvermin with it now on NM. I'm working on a 1.8 changes and Krench Tactics video too so that's going on right now. Just wrote near 1000 words of poo poo on Krench. 2-handed hammer does 72 damage to the ogre now under Strength Potion. If you also get a speed potion on that well he's dead even harder. If not for the new sword the hammer is now incredible. Lunethex fucked around with this message at 19:27 on May 4, 2017 |

Extra Capacity, Hail of Doom, whatever else, there you go, you have an incredibly powerful weapon in that now. Depending on how good you are it may just beat the regular Handgun. Rupture lets you shoot 3 Stormvermin at once if that's what you need. Otherwise, it's so accurate now that Targeteer is unnecessary.

Between the new sword, the hammer, and now this, it's a good time to be Kruber.  Now gimme me a halberd, Fat Shark.

The change about Packmasters being affected by Knockback seemed innocuous. Until I tried it.  The universe is bending. This isn't even that big of an update but everything about it OWNS. Lunethex fucked around with this message at 21:04 on May 4, 2017 |

I'm gonna be spawning Chieftain Krench in other maps from now on. He works perfectly as a regular enemy. Just by existing, rats are spawned to help him and everything he does works.

Krench was actually pretty fun to fight. Is he armored? I couldn't quite tell. And when his poo poo isn't glowing, can you shoot him? I know there's a shield effect when it is.

He's definitely armored. Light attacks plink off his body like the other two. What's more is he has a special coded resistance, bordering on immunity, to most ranged weapons, and especially DoTs and Bombs. The Volley Bow, despite what you may want to believe, is NOT useful against him. But the Longbow from Kerillian is. In fact, it's probably the hardest hitting ranged weapon to use on him granted you make headshots. It may be a bug, but auto aim weapons don't lock on his head either.

StashAugustine posted:Got my first orange- a mace+shield for Kruber. What traits should I be going for on it? I like my orange Mace+Shield for Kruber well enough. Since the first 2 normals hit infinite targets, Regrowth(normal) is basically essential. You also want to push a lot with it. My ideal set up is Regrowth(N), Devastating Blow and either Improved Pommel or Endurance. Then you can just swing, swing, push and knock rats on their asses all day long.

I would have used the Repeater Handgun in my Krench video had I recorded after seeing what a god drat beast it is. The Repeater Handgun and Brace of Pistols MUTILATE the Chieftain right good. Under strength potion, of course. I have compiled a list, running through all the weapons in real time and figuring what's perfect to use against our new boss.quote:The Volley Bow isn't that good against him, I'll correct myself. It's great...but you absolutely need headshots, you will more than likely miss than hit with most of your shots. His hitbox is kind of weird too, and don't forget about the rats that spawn dynamically after his health milestone, because if you're trying to get close enough and hit him in the head (and not have him spastically switching between teammates) then you'll probably get killed or get others killed. Most ranged weapons are, though, useless. DoTs and Bombs do nothing either. Lunethex fucked around with this message at 00:20 on May 5, 2017 |

They didn't mention something important in the patch notes (of course), which is that they nerfed the gently caress out of the repeater handgun's fire rate. It's slower with master crafted than it used to be without it. It also still doesn't do enough damage to bodyshot clan rats on cataclysm, so the buffed damage only matters for specials. The alt fire by contrast has even lower recoil than its previous buff and shoots as fast as a speed potion used to make it go. For the way I use this weapon it's pretty nerfed, but there's situations where it's much better than it used to be. You can use it to burst down storms and its DPS against roger is a lot better, so it's pretty much been solidified as the roger killer in the sgt weapon pool. As a run and gun weapon it's worse, but it's more unique overall now.

Watching the video on the new sword, it hit me that it looks like a two-handed rapier. Fast weapon that enormously rewards headshots but otherwise just spreads meek damage widely? That's rapier talk, son.

Does the healthpool trinket stack with healshare? because you potentially get 60% more healing if that does at the cost of everyone being forced to stay together.

You don't even have to be in Krench's arena. You can just open the box at the bottom of the ladder then jump off it to get back up and he can't get you  And there's infinite ammo right near where you enter the tannery too. Someone messaged me last night saying they found a glitch but I was tired and just thought "man I just uploaded a video and posted the weapons that own his rear end I don't care he's still super easy" But I guess if you want Cursed Rune levels of triviality then there you go.
