Which is funny because there's a vet talent to make medpack heal corruption and it works on overdrive, clearing all corruption in literal seconds.

I can confirm it works, in a goon group we tried picking up a Grimoire and aside from the flat amount of corruption for having one picked up, the trickle corruption was getting countered by my aura. I think the reason it looks like it doesn't work is that it doesn't seem to get rid of the last point of corruption in a wound, probably as a coding thing to stop it from jumping to another wound. It looks extra weird when you're full health but it won't heal that last purple tick.

drrockso20 posted:Admittedly part of the problem is I'm on Veteran, also man I've been having the worst luck on Xbox in finding any guns that are actually usable, like I try the Las Pistol out and the thing is hideously awful, does poo poo damage, is incredibly inaccurate even when using the sight(in fact I think it might actually be more inaccurate), and to add insult to injury it even has a somewhat smaller ammo pool than many of the Las Rifles, pretty similar results with one of the assault rifle type guns except also add that it has ludicrous recoil so you can't really use it for anything but tap firing but it's still really inaccurate even with single shots and even basic trash mobs need multiple shots to kill The las pistol isn't exactly top tier but it is decent. Its gimmick is that it does a lot of damage on weak spot and critical hits so you need as much crit as possible and to be hitting weak spots.

I wonder if it just removes like 1.5% of what ever your current corruption is each tick, and when it gets to the last little bit it just hits rounding errors, leaving the purple nubbin. I started playing around with more melee centric ogryn builds last night (because vets don't like to share ammo  ) . I don't think I really like the taunt ability. Like, yeah, it'll get a crusher swarm off your psyker, but the bull charge does the same thing and gives you a bunch of toughness and has a way shorter cooldown. I've been going more aggressive tank, using the slab shield and the bullgryn charge and bleed passives. Slab Shield heavy attacks with +impact traits already stunlock everything but bosses and will pretty reliably bleed out big swarms of bullshit and crushers / maulers / ragers alike.Edit: also, my life for a proper 2h ogryn weapon. Give them the concrete and rebar hammer like the crushers get. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Oct 5, 2023 |

As far as I can tell from playing, the Infiltrate Vet's primary job is to: 1. Pick up teammates who downed themselves in the worst positions possible 2. Delete shooter groups by running behind them and decapitating them all while they're suppressed 3. "Nothing personal, kid"-ing Snipers Aside from that you are a discount Zealot with a bigger toughness pool. To that end, you absolutely need the 2nd charge on Infiltrate so you can get out of bad situations/buff your attacks more frequently. Take high-mobility equipment for quick-swapping and all the sprinting you need to do.

general consensus seems to be that Zealot, Ogryn, and Psyker all got nice meaty buffs with fun exciting new things while Vet essentially got nerfed and lacks the kind of cool impact abilities everyone else got. Why didn't they give Vet's keystones? Bolter Vet much worse which is sad thats my most played kit  Layout of the skills is weird cuz every other class gets easy access to their toughness perks where as vet's are spread out on the tree, and the ammo economy is much worse than the old skill tree and confined to a specific part of the new skill tree which means you're hard up for ammo with most guns. They also changed the ult cooldown to start at its conclusion instead of its activation so you can't chain ults through skillful target prioritization, while also just making it baseline worse overall. Psyker is craaaaaaaaaazy strong now, which is a very funny role reversal. Psyker getting an auto aim projectile that effortlessly kills elites, specials, and shooters leaves Vet with very little to do lol

Something about the psyker blitzes and passives seems fairly mixed up. We know for sure that Surge (lightning) is getting a perils reduction from the center keystone that it shouldn't be getting, so it doesn't seem impossible that the knives are getting a substantial damage boost from somewhere that maybe it shouldn't be getting.

I spent a fair chunk of this summer outfitting my Zealot and Vet with "meta" weapons & blessings, like power sword w/PC4 & SL4, Bolters w/PF4, Heavy Sword 9 w/Headtaker & Rampage. I understand pinning fire got nerfed severely, did the other blessings experience the same? Are my meta weapons garbage if I start playing again? Pretty sad to hear that Vet overall got hit with the nerf bat

I feel like differentiating their ults would help - make the Zealot's cloak short in duration and cooldown so they can use it to frequently reposition for that sweet backstab damage, whilst giving the Veteran a longer-running infiltrate and some loner bonuses for shenanigans in the backfield. More bonuses for swapping between your ranged and melee would also help make them feel less like a Great Value Zealot. edit: Once again, I implore you all to not sleep on the Devil's Claw

Now that I am returning to the game, I note that my curios have additional slots to gently caress with. What are the current meta builds for vet curios? or is it too early to tell with everything else that has been changed?

Been leveling a psyker and while all the changes are good, I am questioning whether a "tree" format for perks was ideal. It takes a loong time to respec, and the tree is so open that I don't see anything interesting coming from selecting a path vs. selecting what kind of skills you want, like the old way. I like that there's more nodes and more choices, and that the nodes and choices are good, but it's a lot of work to swap things around. Compare to VT2 where you pick a class and then have six choices and you're done. Still a great patch. The game hasn't progressed as far as I'd hoped it would in one year, but still lots of fun. Still desperate for some new visually distinct maps, new objective types, and more exciting finales.

The update was affected everything and has only been out a few days, people are still trying things out. I made a Rending Veteran build with a VLD recon las that's been a hoot on Damnation and I'm still playing with the talent tree for that one build. Ignore the Psyker powerlevel for now, some of their kit is literally broken and behaving in an unintended fashion.

Middle Branch down to Demolition Team Left branch down through 3rd tier (Volley Adept, Get Back in the Fight!, Opening Salvo, Relentless) then hop over to middle tree and right tree and work down Middle tree (Bring it Down!) and end at Confirmed Kill Right tree (Agile Engagement, Onslaught, Skirmisher) down to Close Quarters Killzone What do you think?

Pinning Fire, Slaughterer and Brutal Momentum all got (deservedly) nerfbatted. +100% power for a trivial conditional (staggering enemies) was gonna get gutted sooner or later. Pinning Fire is still good imo, just not slam pick no other option anymore. Shattering Impact actually got a buff because the way rending works was changed, you now get an actual benefit for "over rending" something. Power Sword also ate a nerf to the first target heavy attack damage, it was kinda too good still tho. Heavy Sword is eating good though, Headtaker stayed the same and Rampage got a huge buff, it affects power now instead of just damage (in-game text wasn't changed from "damage" wording) and you have easy access to crit build for any weapon now, now just knives only benefitting. Zealot overall is a blast ATM.

The Ogryn bullrush goes so loving far, it owns. Gunlugger and Bodyguard are also great fun, the stun off the taunt is great CC and really clutch for saving teammates from daemonhosts and such.

there's a talent that makes it so you can taunt things just by blocking or shoving them, crucially you don't need your active ability for it. it just works! Gonna remake a tanky bleed shieldgryn at some point

For all the vets crying about things, try a crit build with the fire shotgun + flechette blessing. VERY ammo efficient and fun. Before the patch I wouldn't run that on anything more than Malice. Now it's very Damnation friendly.

While nerfed Pinning Fire and Slaughterer are both still good just not earth shatteringly OP. Not sure about Brutal Momentum yet. Weird blessings that are unique: Adhesive Charge is *very* good, let's you get rumbler grenades through Bulwark shields and ensures you do massive damage to monsters. Infernus of any level is now v good on Recon las guns, and in general has way more support for other weapons thanks to better crit support in skill trees.
