haldolium posted:this is so unreliable I personally don't do that as a vet. Either let others deal with it or just shoot it down. Daily people try it and it works maybe 2, 3 times and the rest of them explode on their faces. I will admit i've stopped doing it in pubs because they'lll just shoot it while i'm mid shove, but with a group i'll just call "i've got it" as i go to do it and its fine.

I tried it a while and regardless of interference as a vet it almost always puts me in a bad situation the class is not made for even when the push as such worked. I play hi intensity 5 currently almost exclusively and only public, can't say that the success rate is homogenous even with good players and no interference of others. Also I think the person asked was just starting this game and wanted to go vet (good choice) so I would not recommend caring for advanced stuff like shoving bursters reliable at the beginning, thats for later. big cummers ONLY posted:Also move with the swing irl in your seat as if your body can help apply more force to the swing

Two cents on starting character, imo I think Zealot or Ogryn are the best choices because it gives you some more leeway to learn how to use melee which is one of the most important parts of the game. They also generally have strong and fun ranged options as well so you can still enjoy blasting dudes. Vet's a good second class to level, and Psyker I def would not recommend as first class.

tangy yet delightful posted:I don't actually know if it's listed (ed: in game) as I can't read but the medipacks don't last for a fixed amount of time but instead give out a fixed amount of health before disappearing. So a big meaty boi plus healthed Ogryn can suck it (all?) down and leave your little toddlers without health replenishment. Ooo, didn't know that one. It hasn't come up for me before. Also that reminds me.
I need to get around to making a full set of toughness curios for my Zealot and Ogryn and see how that goes. I pretty sure any time I take large amounts of health damage is when a shotgunner gets the drop on me and destroys my toughness.

I tried this for a while, it didn't feel like it helped much in any way. Since you only have 100 base toughness at max you'll have like ~60% toughness bonus so about ~160 toughness total. This is like barely better than the base Vet. +Health gives far better return on investment since your base health is already fairly high.

Thinking about things, now that I can guarantee one shot headshots on any standard specialists and one shot bodyshots on normal shooters with volleyfire on, the critical hit bonus feat that drains stamina on vet is somewhat less useful. Maybe it's time to return to frag storm. Might help me kill reapers and maniacs faster though but... Edit: would be nice to be able to sprint again after shooting.

But the bleeeed nades has been handy in the past as well? Also since my lasgun seems pretty strong and it has ghost iv, is there value in adding in between the eyes for suppression immunity as well? Damage seems good for most targets already so maybe helping me land those shots more would be good.

This is like barely better than the base Vet. +Health gives far better return on investment since your base health is already fairly high. It's actually not bad but you're pretty much forced into %based toughness regen like Momentum. If you have 100 toughness, 10% is 10 toughness; if you have 160 toughness, 10% is 16. That might not seem like much, but getting an extra 6 toughness on every swing adds up very quickly. Taken with Enemies Within/Without and it can be very effective. I find health less helpful on Damnation because most things will just straight up murder you in two hits anyway.

Artificer posted:IT DOES? Huh! The nade bleed talent will help ensure any poxwalkers/groaners hit by the edge of the explosion dies and helps to proc bleed talents like the Ogryn damage reduction against bleeding enemies if they have it. But the other classes, with the exception of some really niche loadouts, don't really need the additional help for clearing hordes. And killing off elites faster, especially gunners and ragers, will do a lot more than some damage reduction triggering with a bunch of guys about to die.

I thought you had to wait like 3 seconds for Opening Salvo? If not then thats actually amazing. What is the window for the bonus dmg on 2nd and 3rd shots blessing like then?

opening salvo works as long as your crosshair resets back to base accuracy 2nd and 3rd shot blessings work when you keep shooting and your reticle keeps blooming. Edit: Nevermind if someone actually did thorough testing and found this to not be true then that sucks. Jerkface fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Mar 23, 2023 |

It's practically useless with how long you need to wait according to the gun psyker video that was post in the thread. edit: to add to the advice upthread, you don't really need Ghost or the suppression removing blessing as Vet because your Ult basically solves either issue. They're much more useful as a Zealot who doesn't have basically any ranged damage mitigation.

Artificer posted:Yeah true! However should I do that or hunt for power cycler with my limited resources? D: Tough choice. It makes you immune to suppression for the entire duration. Feel free to test it out, it's not hard to notice how a reaper or gunner shooting at you causes no suppression whatsoever with Volley Fire on. Tbh Power Cycler is very good but not 100% necessary. Your Power Sword is a fall back weapon or for helping to clear hordes, your main job is dealing with poo poo at range so it's much more worth getting a really good gun to do your primary job first. Being able to one shot body shot shooters and two-shot gunners is a big deal, especially vs flak armor. Besides, Melk's is right there and you can just keep an eye on it while building a good gun for Power Cycler, or you might spot a gun with a great blessing that lets you fix a poor blessing roll on an otherwise good gun. Hell, once you get comfortable at 5s you can work on both at the same time at a pretty good clip. Basically, don't force Power Cycler and let it come when it comes.

Thats a fair point. Is it possible to reach those breakpoints without volleyfire? Or is volleyfire mandatory? Fwiw my ghost iv/head crit chance+ lasgun is at those break points with volley fire already.

I wonder if it's worth keeping them around or if I should strip them for the base mediocre blessings they have that I haven't unlocked yet, sell them, or keep them around? The inventory clutter is getting a bit much. What do you all do?

Anyone having insane haz4s tonight? Me and my friend just has an absolute poo poo show 5 missions in a row. We had someone go down instantly then a mutant tossed me ahead of the rest of the team, which got knocked off a ledge so i rushed forward to get the downed guy up and walked into a loving room with 3 ragers AND a plague ogryn spawned. Another mission had a plague ogryn throwing everyone off ledges while we had 6 loving bursters spawn within 3 minutes. I watched 3 mutants spawn and jump down this ledge as one group but thankfully i had 2 grenade boxes and killed 2 but i've never seen 3 mutants at once like that. I also saw 9 dreg shotgunners at the same time with gunners, rampagers, a bomber, AND a sniper. We normally run haz4's and i've never seen poo poo like this before haha.

Tweaked the Dreg Shotgunner so they will follow players when engaged in melee combat to make them easier to lock in melee. Added more damage falloff to Shotgunner shots (from 15 metres → 8 metres). Reduced Shotgunners and Assaulters toughness damage, normalised some aim duration, and shoot cooldown values across all difficulties. Fixed the Bulwark stationary melee attacks enable/disable shield blocking to match the animation. Fixed, so Bulwark heavy staggers disable shield blocking to match the animation. Changed the Bulwark shield push attack not to deal damage. Fixed Bulwark stagger animation durations to match the animation better Increased explosive barrel damage, especially vs Monstrosities. Increased fire barrel damage and duration (Duration changed from 8 → 15). Removed high stagger from fire barrel explosion, so enemies don’t end up outside of the fire area Increased how many of the same specialists can spawn on Heresy and Damnation difficulty. Increased the number of specials able to spawn in coordinated strikes on Heresy and Damnation difficulty (4 → 5 for Heresy, 5 → 6 for Damnation). Tuned down the amount of Dregs that spawn as roamers. Reduced the roamer aggro range when hordes are triggered across all difficulties. Reduced default minion shoot alert radius from 20 metres → 12 metres in all missions. Changed so Poxburster explosions can damage barrels. Fixed an issue where the Pox Hounds pounce push was dealing 1 damage to nearby players.
