All enemy armor type chart. https://imgur.com/a/AR0Nxo4 Unyielding are all bosses and fleshy ogyn bits, infested are anything with "pox" in the name like dogs, bursters, walker hordes, maniac is a whole host of dangerous elites and specialists like ragers, flamers, trappers, mutants, flak is worn on a lot of common enemies like gunners and scabs and usually on just specific body parts.

I started picking Maniac damage because on Damnation it feels like I am constantly having to deal with Mutants charging at the team.

Yeah, I think in most cases the best gun combo is Maniac + Flak. That covers every special except for Dogs + Snipers, all elites except for Ogryn flesh and Crushers, plus almost all Scab targets and Dreg Bruiser heads. Losing out against Dreg Shooters isn’t great but is generally well worth the trade off.

It is indeed melee/ranged/explosive multipliers. Knowing that flamers and mutants and bombers take triple melee damage is key for clearing them efficiently.

Got one as a reward and it looks like the charge attack is just smite? In the training/psykarium it procced like my purgatus. I’m loving this build although I wish brain burst went faster. Bloody vets always stealing my kill right before it goes off. Still shocked how tanky I am while being a crit machine. I melt mob rushes.

Well right now Empowered Psionics is causing the surge staff to do double damage and not eat a charge (not that it's supposed to be affected anyways), so it's feeling pretty good. I've only run this build once because I was trying out the void/assail changes for my melk money this week. Really fun riding at high peril hoping that battle meditation will bring you back under head popping yourself on a kill, with venting shriek at the ready just in case you do  https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a6c6dab-aa53-45c9-8f10-511ca31e4386/assail-madness-by-the-wile-spice I've got a really good warp flurry/nexus staff and the newly added gibbing when you get going is so good.

The bug is actually a bit more than that: Surge inherits all modifiers that Smite gets! So if you take the +1 spread ability modifier on smite, your Surge staff now hits 3 targets, not two! Harder to test with the 10% base damage ability modifier but I wouldn't be surprised if it works.

Speaking of bugs, there's also one going on with the revolver's Hand-Cannon blessing in that your melee weapon will also benefit from the +rending on crit  I was wondering why I could suddenly one-shot crushers with my heavy sword lmao

I actually don't think it's worth it. It's the same issue as flamethrower on Zealot for me, you're basically saying you're gonna trust your teammates to take care of anything outside of your (admittedly decent) effective range. And as much I am actually trusting of a number of the goons I play with, there are times when you're last up or last of a pair and suddenly there's multiple snipers and gunners and welp. That said it's still fun while it lasts!

Does this make sense as a nade fist ogryn build with surviveability? It's 25/30 because I'm level 25. Reckoned I'd put the rest of the points into some of the top talents and maybe big boom? Exodee posted:Swapping to another loadout and then back again (don't even need to leave the screen) fixes this for me. But yeah it's weird how scuffed the talent tree menu is. It's something at least. Maybe I'll just delete all the loadouts while I'm leveling, I think it might be related to the game not saving points to your active loadout before the game re-applies your "old" loadout, maybe.

Continuing my adventures as a colomnus infantry veteran, honestly as excited as I was for plasma i dont think i can go back to it, jumping into t5s and killing 3 maulers in half a magazine is so sick. You have enough ammo to use it against hordes while also being able to delete bosses, elites, specialists, and ogryns.

I've clocked crusher kills at less than 20 rounds. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Oct 27, 2023 |

Insert name here posted:As an OG infantry auto stan, I used to prefer the Graia before this patch so I'm looking forward to checking out the Colomnus now that it has been buffed (it used to be the worst of the infantry autos). The graia can still benefit from the same build of collecting rending and short range damage boosts, but the super fast firerate of the colomnus thats way more controllable and accurate now gives it the edge in raw damage. Entirely anecdotal but at max firerate I think the colomnus is easier to handle than the agraia now too, with less side to side shake and more of a vertical pickup.

While it's not a perfect Columnus I managed to roll a good one instantly, but want to try it with an infiltrate build instead of ES and... it's pretty drat good. It's not quite as melts everything as it would be with ES I think, but you're impressively tough coming out of stealth if you have the ability modifier to get the 50% toughness damage reduction. I think picking up the two charges might be worth it as well now. That said I'll probably try out that build Sharkopath posted instead, I imagine it'll feel better.

Insert name here posted:Yeah it looks like the Colomnus now has a good advantage in single-target DPS, which is good because it doesn't penetrate any targets like the other two (which is excellent when you need to kill a shotgunner or rager in the middle of a horde). Honestly you don't miss the punch through I think because you want to have targets in front of your priority to trigger thr close range blessings. They'll melt immediately and then the boosted bullets are hitting the main target.

I've also gone down to the bottom of middle line for the extra rending and team damage and I think thst build might be better than the one I've posted, although the damage boost from right side capstone is stronger.

How does the Martyr's Purpose ability cooldown work? The reading is ambiguous. I have an idea for a Martyr Chorus build that takes damage and seals it in a cocoon of chorus overheal but I can't tell what "1% of damage taken converts to ability cooldown" means, if that means taking any damage, or only taking health damage, or if missing health applies a constant adjustment to the overall cooldown timer. It seems really noncompetitive with the other cooldown reduction perks but I am gonna give it a try anyways.

toasterwarrior posted:oh gently caress i should totally give my ogryn super shotgun build another go with the new buffs, huh It feels more consistent than the explosive 1 shot weapons to me, as amazing as the rumbler is and the buffs to the grenade gauntlet, the kickback has no delay to reach the target once fired and you don't have to worry about your explosive rolling off a ledge after firing it or the target making a abrupt change in pathing. Kickback damage has been buffed to the point it can finally 1 shot poxbursters that get close enough. On another Ogyn note, I'm gonna have a hard time justifying using any melee besides the club when not using shield, club can stunlock bosses consistently by just slapping their face over and I shouldn't need to tell anyone how useful that is compared to letting a chaos spawn do whatever it wants.

Revolver feels just straight-up busted strong right now provided you can click heads. Like "why do other guns exist" strong. Here's what I'm running for the Scryer's Gaze "berpsyker" (psyzerker?) https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a788d73-ef37-4d83-a3d0-b88b236e4a9a/asd-6 It feels like a zealot, but with higher highs and lower lows. Spend your time stabbing guys in the face to guarantee your specialist-killing revolver shots crit. Start fires by killing specials and keep them going by killing their surrounding hordes. Hit Gaze when things get hairy and enjoy the damage, crit boost, toughness boost, and other damage boost that lingers afterward with your high peril. Brain burst monsters until you hit max peril, then shoot them while buffed. I haven't given it a real damnation test yet but it's total MVP poo poo on Heresy Shock Troop Gauntlet.
