Reiley posted:As a brand new player I feel like leveling isn't really a huge problem. My friend and I mashed Quickplay and I hit level 30 after 27 successful missions and a couple failures with the quickplay XP bonus. It didn't feel like much of a grind. I only play with friends, generally, and I'm 21 after a few hours of screwing around learning the game. Not really mashing it out, either, lots of breaks and looking stuff up and checking the shop. I can see the appeal of really hammering it out because (at least for psyker) most builds only really hit right at ~27 and as far as I can tell there's no point in engaging in any of the crafting side until you're 30.

Legit Businessman posted:Are two wounds the sign of a bad Zealot post 2.0? it's purely personal preference. IMO every class but Ogryn should take a Wound curio because the times it mitigates circumstances out of your control isn't small and could be the difference between dying to a mistake and getting one more shoot to push through, but if you're confident you can handle those circumstances, feel free to ditch the extra wound and grab some more toughness or health.

imo 3 wounds is the best spot, going down once with 2 wounds leaves you with half HP and death on knockdown on pickup. not a lot of room for error in difficulties where you need to account for error because the game can and will just go "get hosed, human"

drrockso20 posted:Psyker is definitely improved in most respects by this update but Brain Burst/Rupture and Soulblaze are both still underperforming quite a bit, the former is still way too loving slow(so you still have the problem where about 85% of the time you try and use it one of your teammates will just kill them anyways making you waste both time and peril like a jackass), and the latter both takes too much effort to activate(since only a handful of things can actually trigger it) and does too little even when you do get it going(like I'm not sure I've ever actually seen it kill anything), both are in dire need of much larger buffs* than they currently have Something that took me entirely too long to figure out was that the DoT effect applied by the Purgatus staff is also Soulblaze, so if you lean super hard into it you can in fact make the soulblaze pretty good.

Now the heal caps at 25% of your max HP, so that’s a lot less viable, and Zealots might be better served with 3 wounds like everyone else.

No, weapons are per-character. The only things shared between characters are currency and blessings you’ve turned in to Hadron.

I'm not sure what changes to the meta that 2.0 has wrought, but prior to the patch, only the psyker brought a wound curio to the table (at the highest levels). Not to say that it isn't a good idea to do so, but most of the classes were beating auric damnation high intensity shock gauntlets without them. I think the argument becomes having the extra 17% toughness or 21% health all the time is better than an extra wound, which is only applicable some of the time. See here for the data: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/16ppmad/curio_data_from_1000_public_auric_high_intensity/ 2.0 may have upset the apple cart a bit, I know people are saying that while they feel more powerful, they also feel a bit more fragile, except for the feel no pain bodyguard ogryn that kit was talking about up thread.

 What should I reroll for on this thing?

I would reroll one of your damage bonuses into a Critical Hit Rate bonus. That 5% with Charmed Reload does a lot more work than you'd think. Gorgeous roll overall though, very nice. e: I just realized you haven't touched the gun at all yet, holy moly. Definitely roll your Perks because your Blessings are basically perfect, swap one for Crit Rate and the other for Flak or Maniac. I personally would recommend Flak, it's much more common, but Maniac enemies suck, so it doesn't hurt to beat them up too. Kith fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Oct 10, 2023 |

Unarmored for Crit chance or flak / maniac? That's a pretty good gun as is. Charmed reload works well with lucky bullet, and Inspiring Barrage is really really good considering that stacks with their +2% toughness on shooting - they can just stand and deliver against obnoxious large swarms of gunners and out-toughness them.

Is there any value to, as a zealot, stacking wounds as high as possible alongside toughness DR on missing wounds and 50% DR on any damage that would cross a wound threshold? I wonder what the numbers on effective health are like when basically every hit is being reduced by 50% or more.

Sestze posted:The reason why it seems like the person piloting the Zealot is new/bad is because if you do pretty much any tree, dipping into the middle tree gives you two free wounds, freeing up all your curios to be health/toughness.

Probably the only folks I've found harder to kill than me are FNP Ogryns.

It says if damage crosses a threshold so I assumed it meant all thresholds so having wound blocks be so tiny meant every big or medium hit gets 50% reduction. Martyr Priest can survive anything.

Reiley posted:What is the difference between the three kinds of shotguns? I saw one has incendiary alt fire, does one of the other two have a tighter pellet spread or something? Agrippna or however it's spelled has a tight spread, and its alt fire is a pinpoint accurate slug that does 4 digit damage on headshots. It's even reasonably effective against carapace, and has enough impact to turn a bulwark's shield and put a crusher on their rear end.

Reiley posted:What is the difference between the three kinds of shotguns? I saw one has incendiary alt fire, does one of the other two have a tighter pellet spread or something? Each of them has a separate special shell you can load. Kantrael has incendiary (good for disruption and damage of groups), Lawbringer has a scattershot with a much wider horizontal spread (good for clearing hordes), and Agripinaa has a single slug shot (good for sniping specials). Apart from that, they each have a trade-off between rate of fire vs damage per shot, with the Kantrael being the most powerful and slow firing and the Agripinaa having the quickest fire at lowest per-shot damage, and the Lawbringer somewhere in the middle. Personally I like the Agripinaa best because you can keep one shot of slug loaded at all times to have a really good quickshot option to quickly take down a threatening special. But the sheer damage of the Kantrael also makes it quite effective at surprisingly long distances despite its spread.

The original lawbringer hasn't kept up with power changes and is bad, but Kantrael is very good and Agripinaa is great if you want a revolver to snapshot or knockdown elites but with more ammo capacity.

If you have a hdr tv/a good monitor with HDR, I recommend using it with this game, with the Windows 11 autoHDR feature. The game looks sick with it.

fadam posted:What build are you high level Psykers doing? I need a true north took toward while my friends and I remember how to play the game. You really can't go wrong with the shield dome and warp charges (which right now is bugged and will instantly recharge the dome, but would be my pick even if it wasn't bugged) and use a voidstrike staff and choice of deimos/illis force swords or dueling sword. The shield dome or walls will make for easier revives and makes bad positioning less punishing and less trouble if you have a gun patrol turn the corner behind you, assail knives are also a great fire and forget into a hall of danger in front of you so long as you mind your peril. On another note I'm trying out some knife zealot builds and for the throwing knives I think the strongest part about them is if you throw a knife as you pull out a flamer or boltgun it will cancel the long pullout animation.

the dome is great but the regular shield with the ability modifiers that cause specialists to bounce off them are also impressively good. Watching mutants bounce off them is also really funny. they also seem to be affected by the bugged cooldown. But yeah, Voidstrike is busted good right now, especially if you can get your hands on a Transfer Peril/ Surge blessing combo for one.
