I don't know who thought the psyker headgear cheevos were a good idea, but the combination of "Use ability that takes an hour to charge to kill a target everyone else is already focus firing" and "Basically kill yourself but have a skill that sometimes just doesn't work save you" is going to make me so unpopular until they're cleared.

They're sort of annoying, but pushing yourself into the pre-explosion state and then saving yourself with the shout is 100% viable and something I did all the time before the patch. You have 3 seconds to do it, it should always work. The annoying thing about it now is that only the shout quells peril, so you can't do it if you're using the shield or Scrier's Gaze.

Query on sniping blessings from Melk - Should I be picking up any 4s I see? None of them are staves but who knows, maybe I'll want an infantry lasgun with Opening Salvo 4 for reasons. Just trying to gauge how rarely you see t4 blessings on melk's blue light specials.megane posted:You have 3 seconds to do it, it should always work. The annoying thing about it now is that only the shout quells peril, so you can't do it if you're using the shield or Scrier's Gaze. I mean that's two problems right there. One is that the skill often just doesn't work. One time I've had it fire, do nothing, and go on cooldown but that's super rare compared to the number of times I've had to mash the key like mad to get it to come out. Two is I can't take the shield, so it's pre-patch abilities or bust and right now the pre-patch abilities are pretty poo poo. If the objectives were "Murder the world with assail" and "Carry the run with shield" I'd have completed them almost immediately.

An update on my new sword:  Took it out on a Heresy run and it feels like it carves up big swarms easier. Am I right to think the Wrath cleave damage gets passed on to new targets until something doesn't die from the swing, and that this applies to the crit swing from Bloodthirsty? Is there a cap on how many dudes I can cleave? This felt great to use.

Just trying to gauge how rarely you see t4 blessings on melk's blue light specials. I'm kinda of the opinion that getting 4s just for the sake of having 4s is kinda silly. Like if you've already got reasonably good core gear than sure, at that point all you have left to do is start grinding toward perfect gear and to build into weird non-meta weapons, so go nuts, but if you haven't seen blessings you actually *want*, maybe save the scrip.

So long as you got the melk bucks to snap up any god-rolls he happens to offer, feel free to grab T4 blessings, especially if they are meta blessings. You can easily get over 2000 melk bucks per character per week and they are shared currency now so you aren't gonna be in that situation of being 1 melk buck short of a potential god-roll the next day.

While I've def had issues with Chorus on Zealot, I haven't had the issues for Venting Shriek yet so now I'm curious what might be causing it and if the bug is ability agnostic and more related to whatever first ability you tried after the patch or something. Input lag issues aside Venting Shriek isn't really poo poo at all lol, it's still the only way Psyker has to save themselves from exploding and one of the new ability modifiers for it is amazing now (the peril reduction per target hit for 5s) and is great for a stave wielding psyker. Anecdotally I'm not a fan of regular shield, but dome seems fine. I haven't yet thought "drat wish I had shield" yet though, so may just be variable experiences. Shooters feel like much less of an issue this time around, even on the missions where the AI director has activated the hidden "oops all gunners" modifier.

Dome is good if you dont play with fixed groups and have to babysit 1 - 2 randos. The toughness regen inside it alone is super handy in clusterfucks, and it prevents sneaky snipers that pubbies will never ping That being said I don' thave issue with input delay on Shriek but the shield can be really finnicky to get to deploy. It feels like if youre in any weapon/cast/reload/etc animation whatsoever it just won't deploy and you just gotta rapidspam F until it does.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Is there any worthwhile veteran build that uses revolver a whole lot?

That, and the talent that gives a bunch of reload speed for melee kills makes it feel a lot better to use. Some goons really like revolver on Vet but imo for a class that should primarily use their ranged weapon Revolver just doesn't do the job well. edit: the post below me is full of heresy and deceit Evil Kit fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Oct 15, 2023 |

Decided to finally start dipping my toes into Malice difficulty and so far not too bad, though I keep having teammates setting off Daemonhosts for some Emperor forsaken reason, though it did at least lead me to realize something, the Thunder Hammer when charged can just carve through the health of Monstrosity enemies surprisingly fast Also definitely affirming my beliefs that shotguns while good are also somewhat crippled by how small their ammo pools are, though somewhat less of an issue for Zealot in that regard than on say Veteran

It's not good to just not use your ammo obviously, but if you're always gassing yourself it's usually a sign you probably aren't pulling out your melee weapon when you should. Also for the record, if your shotgun doesn't have No Respite on it it isn't gonna feel good lol. The sheer amount of damage you get from No Respite lets you hit multiple breakpoints, and is the reason the Kantreal is the best shotgun hands down.

Got a very good roll on an Eviscerator. It's got IV Savage Sweep and III Perfect Strike. I'd replace Perfect Strike, but I don't have any good Blessings, yet. For Perks it has +20% against Infested and +8% Weak Spot Damage. What's good to switch those to on an Eviscerator? I'm thinking +X% to Elite swapped instead of the Weak Spot l.

Hard to go wrong with vs maniac/flak armor on almost every weapon because those tend to be the most common and also most dangerous enemies in the game, with some like the mutant having huge health. 5% crit ain't nothing to snuff at either, especially if you plan to take the crit talents that give you defense as zealot.

If you can find it eventually try out Rampage to paper over Perfect Strike, or Shred if you want to go the crit keystone.

I was working on a brain burst build the other day to see if I could make it feel less annoying to use. Take all the soulfire perks, go down the warp charges tree on the bottom and make sure the brain burst "50% faster cast after using an ability". Purgatus staff feels mandatory and I think it works with the soulfire ones. I was constantly at 6 charges. It helped get us through a couple level 5 missions and at 6 warp charges the burst seems to do decent damage to elites. The strategy was pop a head to aggro the group, shout (which gets a cool down reduction from the warp charges), pop all the other heads with your super fast brain burst for 10 seconds and then repeat on cool down. I feel like there could be an interesting build here with the double shield perk for a lot of fast bursting but I haven't tried it yet.

You straight up can just never use ammo with crit stacking. You can hit 30% crit base on the Helbore and I love it. -Veteran Base Crit: 10% -Crit Chance Weapon Perk: 5% -Crit Chance Talent Node: 5% -Opening Salvo: 10% while ammo is above 90% in clip. Then throw in Surgical Blessing T3/T4 and you can reach 100% crit after 2.5 seconds of scoping. Couple that with Shock Trooper and you will never us ammo when firing if you crit, even if you miss. And because you use no ammo, Opening Salvo remains active. Go MK3 Helbore to maximize the damage and slaughter every last elite and Ogryn you can see.

I hope in a balance patch something is moved around there or it becomes easier to swap between blitz/ults without being locked into a path, Soften them up is probably the single strongest passive in the entire game and it's such a knock against the rocks for no reason when the alternative is Nuclear Bomb and Many Explosions. That or -30 sec cd to rock recovery because 4 minutes can be an eternity on super high intensity missions with mutants coming every 20 seconds.

The toughness-healing shield is outstanding. Especially paired with assail and whatever the talent is that heals toughness on blitz use when EP stacks are in. Aside from just being awesome in general it makes a giant visible beacon and once they see it people instinctively get under it. Assail vs Burst might have the huge immediate impact to you of what you can deal with, but shield vs vent is a more subtle difference that smooths out runs instead of directly impacting killing power. Disclaimer: I'm not playing preforms or t5s with people who've put in a thousand hours and could play blindfolded, so YMMV.

The Rumbler is insanely good now. Direct hits 1shot a reaper with unyielding/carapace adhesive/rending. You can stumble and blast the poo poo out of monstrosities too. Shots blocked by the shield with the taunt on block talent cause shot gunners and nonspecials to put away their guns and walk toward you. Ogryn is in great shape.
