I can't tell if Warp Flurry is doing anything for my Surge staff. I'm not seeing any icons for stacks of buff gained and it's hard to simply ballpark whether I'm charging faster (only have WF 2). Searches on fatshark forums and reddit indicate confusion - do you guys know how / if Warp Flurry works?

My understanding with it is that it starts your charge bar with more of it filled out as you increase the number of stacks. So it's not that you get a faster charge, you just start with it more charged up. I think. There's a mod that shows you buffs that you wouldn't ordinarily see. I can confirm that warp flurry is something that gets tracked by the game engine.

Zodium posted:picked Darktide up to play with some buddies and i'm looking forward to playing it. i like to kill stuff with guns at range so i guess Veteran is a good class pick, are there any good guides I should read or watch? I find a lot of advice on darktide sorta tedious because I find a lot of it to be outdated or inaccurate, but here are some real general tips: - Don't go it alone. Stick with your party. There are times where you want to break off and flank an enemy or briefly look for resources but early on that's a bad idea. - Lower difficulties are good for getting your feet wet but tend to teach you bad lessons. If an aspect of the game seems easy on lower levels (enemy HP, how frequently you go down, not being able to accurately tell when enemies are sneaking up on you, etc) and suddenly becomes much harder that's usually an indication that you need to change something about how you play. - As others have already said, there is always an enemy behind you. Don't tunnel vision and get stuck on trying to plow towards an objective. Make progress, but do so at a walk, looking around you, and staying aware of your surroundings. - Block and shove have wide arcs, maybe even 360 degrees. Block and shove often. There's a rhythm to it. In addition, if you shove and continue holding down the attack button, an attack will come out that is sometimes unique to that animation and can be useful for chaining attacks together. - Your toughness is your 'real' health, resource. HP is important, but toughness is far more so. Remember that toughness absorbs 100% of incoming projectile damage but provides only a flat % damage reduction to melee attacks, which quickly scales up as toughness goes down. You cannot afford to trade hits, especially when your toughness is depleted. If you find enemies stripping your toughness, you're either not blocking enough or you're standing in a place to get shot at freely. - Don't get stuck on being 'the ranged guy'. Melee is a big part of the game and if somebody is up in your grill use a melee weapon. This is true even if you're a vet or a psyker. If you can dodge behind a teammate and get a better position feel free to switch back to ranged but never try to just tank out hits from a crowd while shooting, it's gonna be a bad time. This is just basic stuff and things I see kill pubs a lot.

Is Deathblow a good blessing for this? I got one with Headtaker IV too but not sure what to put in the other slot yet, I was thinking Rampage for even more bonus power

I believe like the Antax you want to get ignore hit mass so that you can just infinite cleave hordes with your absurdly high damage weapon that likes heads. I had deathblow 1 on it and figured I'd just up this to orange and replace whatever rolled with headtaker IV, but it got that blessing by itself so I upgraded the deathblow.

Tbh I haven't tried Deathblow out on the Heavy Sword yet but you don't really need it? Especially with Headtaker 4. Idk though, I need to go back to my heavy sword ways and try it out I suppose.

I've only ever really tried one heavy sword so I can't compare the blessings exactly but mine has deathblow 3 and it is extremely loving good at dealing with both hordes and armored enemies. You just slice at head level and kill everything effortlessly

The reason (I believe) after some testing is that once a Poxburster has fully jumped and its feet are off the ground, it becomes immune to all but the most insane stagger/stun. Surge staff is the only thing I've seen stop a mid-air Poxburster with any regularity at this point. You need to be more proactive and actually approach the Poxburster before it can jump to shove it back, which is a bit nerve wracking but very consistent once you know how to do it. You can also make use of walls/boxes to shove a Poxburster safely and cause it to detonate, being able to highlight one with a ping from you or your teammate facilitates this immensely.

The heavy sword already has really high cleave, it'll almost never get stuck. You want rampage for extra damage.

Pushing is for when you don't really have a chance to deal with the poxburster at range and I've noticed a lot of pubbies stop everything to go run at the poxburster when half the team is already shooting it.

The other factor I think people aren't considering when it comes to pushing Poxbursters is stamina. I've seen someone sprint up to an approaching burster, fail a seemingly well-timed shove and then complain. I'm pretty sure his stamina was depleted when he tried this, and zero-stamina shoves are useless in virtually all circumstances.

While messing around with a mod for the meatgrinder it had the option to spawn something called a plague ogyn sprayer. It had the same attack pattern as a regular plague ogyn but with green slime trails, will likely be the stormfiend equivalent when it gets new animations.

Whatever gets taken off your stamina is the cost of a "full power push" - I am pretty sure you need at least half of that amount or better to successfully push a poxburster. It may even be the full 100% needed. Keep that in mind if you're sprinting up to one you want to either leave that amount remaining or wait a sec to recoup enough to get the push off.

Here is my prediction for the next big patch: A lot of good changes. Some changes that will leave people baffled or mad they neutered their main character/weapon. The usual unusual fatshark bugs plaguing the patch, maybe the 1 damage you take from a dog pouncing someone near you will get several extra zero's added onto it, who knows. Possibly new ogyn random boss. What would make the patch the best of all time in the playerbases eyes: Hadron gets new voice lines that compliments the players for handling the objective in under 10 seconds.

The poxburster gets stagger immunity for a few seconds if you stagger it, so if you weak push or someone shoots it and doesn't nail the full stagger knockdown it will keep running with hyperarmor for a few seconds. Which means you can't push it. Re: Powersword It depends on the scenario but the ideal "basic using the powersword" is: Charge Special Heavy Swing Heavy Swing Dodge Back Charge Special Dodge Back Repeat Heavy Swinging Throw in block push attack if you won't be able to use the special in time before eating enemy attacks. Vet has such poo poo stamina and regen that I don't push unless absolutely necessary, where as I push all the time on Vet/Ogryn just to manhandle the crowd. With Vet the key is to get off as many big heavy swings power charged as possible. Don't disrespect the light attack too: un charged it does great stagger and knocks chaff enemies out of their melee animation so you don't need to block or push. Charged it can kill a bunch of the basic enemies pretty quick. Do that to clear space. Jerkface fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Mar 22, 2023 |

I love my surge staff for poxburster knockback, so good. On my Ogryn sometimes I've found it useful (typically in a situation with a crowd of chaff in the way) to bull charge the poxburster, cancel the charge right after you hit them which does a big stun/knockback and you can back up out of the way of their explosion with plenty of time. ZeusCannon posted:Im early so im sure it doesnt matter but what should i prioritize on curios? If you're veteran then I think toughness can be good, otherwise go for more health. Beyond that I wouldn't really worry until you get say 25+ where you might actually get good enough curios to keep longer than a few hours.

I'd love to see a Stormvermin patrol-equivalent threat make an appearance at some point. I'm picturing a formation of carapace-armored, heavily-armed stormtrooper equivalents flanked by souped-up ogryns and led by a spiky officer at the front; all chanting the vocals from the boss theme as they march towards the players.
