Internet Explorer posted:I must be getting unlucky with queues or something, because every time I try to play Damnation there is no one on. I can’t get them to pop consistently, but they do pop. Yesterday I did a solo queue damnation on the plague tree map, got a slow trickle of players and finally filled the party (with 3 zealots to my veteran) about 1/3rd of the way through the map. Sometimes reinforcements never show up though. And yeah, player quality is so much better in Damnation that I bet my success rate is higher there too. The above run was smooth despite the zealots having two flamers and a bolter between them, because they protected me like I was the emprah Ellipson fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Dec 31, 2022 |

Because the thread kept singing its praises, I've been playing with the revolver on my zealot, and I think I get it now. It can pop weaker enemies, but to make the weapon work you have to use its stagger as pocket CC. Knock a tough enemy on its rear end and then combo into melee. Save your bullets.

Nehru the Damaja posted:You'd think I'd have figured it out before now but I realized I don't like playing Psyker, and not just for power reasons. I think the psyker has some odd design choices. Much has been said about their talents and I agree they aren't great but for me the problem stems from designing a class around committing to an action now (charging up brain burst, or a staff effect) and then trying to deploy it several seconds later. This game is entirely about speed of reaction time, but all of the class's best tools are supposed to be time commitments. That would be fine if it was a push-your-luck mechanic but half credit isn't worth much on staves and nothing on brain burst.

I kinda like the charge times on psyker because it gives me a good reason to slide dodge all over the place, all the time. I do it so much more on that class than any other.

Another way to temporarily make the Psycher better is just to remove like 20 guns from its loot pool. I just can't be bothered to log in my 30 psycher and sort through a dozen autoguns for every staff I see.

I got a Ripper Mk V with perfect 380 stats, 80 in all four stats you want, but I think this gun might just be dogshit because I am reloading too much for how little this thing is helping me. How do I use the ripper correctly? Seems like every time I use it, it would be better to have been using a Rumbler or my melee.

I hate every Ogryn gun that isn't the Rumbler. The kickback is probably the single worst weapon in the game. The automatics have an effective range slightly longer than melee, chew through ammo, and take forever to reload. The grenade gauntlet at least functions in its role but is so incredibly poo poo at it compared to guns that serve that same role on other classes. Only the rumbler does something unique/valuable and does it fairly well.

The kickback and the Ripper Mk V are the only genuinely bad Ogryn guns. The others are great.

If the Kickback reloaded twice as fast as it does, it'd be good. Or if it could get a "reload while stowed" perk.

Internet Explorer posted:I can't disagree more. The grenade gauntlet is amazing. I am continually underwhelmed by this thing. To nail a special with it you have to pull it out and wait for that to finish, then you have to hold right click to turn it into a ranged weapon and wait for it to be ready to fire, and then you can finally pull the trigger on something, except by then you don’t need to do it anymore because the veteran has already dropped them with their Kantrael XII, so you pull out your knife again. IMO the gauntlet mostly just lets an ogryn do a mediocre job of potting specials that shouldn’t actually be their responsibility in the first place.

The grenade gauntlet is the most ogryn weapon. Fire 1: punch. Fire 2: shoot a grenade. Fire 3? punch AND shoot a grenade at what you just punched. When in doubt, do both.

Been trying to level my psyker in Malice and it's not going well! There seems to be an inverse level of skill compared to how many cash shop items someone is wearing. Which means Fatshark is probably making a ton of cash off that cash shop.

My malice experience lately has been my party instantly scattering in every direction even when there are no grims or scrips to be found. I've also had quite a few battle-psychers who insist on charging ahead of everyone and meleeing everything. Oh and one of my last groups had an entire group full of 'extraction point heroes' standing outside of the ship just blasting away rather than getting in and ending the loving mission.

Making the crafting grind suck and then spreading out the ingredients all over the map was a poor decision, that's for sure.

TBH I just want Heresy and Damnation to have notably higher plasteel counts. As it stands they have barely higher plasteel than Malice. Having twice as much plasteel as payout than now (where you get roughly 180-200 plasteel if you scour everything) is a good start.

Case in point, the dude who was just a good 45 second run from our group, gets jumped on by a hound, then his only reaction is to key up in voice with a disappointed "you guys didn't loot everything back here." After we wiped from that "before your next match make sure to loot everything before you go on." lol

With the revolver swapping so fast I'm theorizing that a macro to press 2 > left click > 1 to get off a shot and swap back to your melee instantly could be useful. I recently tried some runs with the bolter on zealot with how much everyone praises it, absolutely hated it, wildly inaccurate, takes more shots than you'd expect to snipe things and it takes so long to take out that your toughness buff from bleeding enemies will disappear and in the time it takes to equip I could of just ran over and stabbed the guy. I much preferred the shotgun over bolter, it wasn't as killy but it comes out quickly and has so much stagger you can use it to knock down a poxburster leaping at you instead of shoving it or just as a quick interrupt for something potentially deadly outside of stab range.

Another thing with the Grenade Gauntlet is that even the uncharged melee strikes it does count as Heavy Attacks that come out at Light Attack speeds, which trigger one of the two of the Ogryn's toughness recharge Feats if you use them.

Applies the bleed talent as well movespecial on all ranged weapons triggers the bleed feat and the first-tier feat though. for the grenade gauntlet's movespecial, it's triggered by the punch but not the explosion.
