Giving the power sword 6 a try due to recommendations and yeah, it feels pretty good at slicing hordes and bopping carapace heads, which of these two would be better?  I could replace wrath with brutal momentum, but would a 250% cleave wrath be just as good?

Go with the first one, reroll Wrath to Slaughterer. BM is wasted on a Power Sword, especially one with Power Cycler 4. Not sure which perk I'd reroll to maniac though.

holy hell the plasma feels even better now, which is kind of a crazy thing to say because imo it already felt p deec before the patch and also i swear the plasma has received nothing but buffs since release

There are some subtle differences between the III and the VI Powah Swords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggcSlbYWTn4 The video advocates for BM - it's no longer a waste on a power sword. EDIT: In the comments: Big shout out and thank you again to TinyAngryCrab, who shows us the power and knowledge of sentient crustaceans in this intimate breakdown of the Mark 6 Power Sword. The basic "god roll" he suggests right now is 25% Maniac and 10% Elite perks, with Brutal Momentum and Power Cycler. Tons of really great info in here, from how to Block cancel the Activation, to best weapon combos for certain situations, and hidden mechanics of Power Swords. Let us know if you have any questions!

drat Dirty Ape posted:Which close combat weapons do you recommend for a vet? I enjoyed my chainsword and switched to an axe and I don't think I like it nearly as much. The easiest, trouble free vet weapon is specifically a rampage + power cycler Power Sword Mk III. Nothing else in the game comes close for how effective it is in doing one thing, mulching everything in front of you. The execution of this plan is simple: activate power sword, H1->H2->H1, backdash, repeat. There isn't really anything that is safer, easier to understand, and as effective for the vet, assuming you want to shoot more than you melee, and use your melee to mostly crush hordes (and the occasional hard target mixed into those packs). Is it boring? Maybe. Is is effective? Very much so. Is it OP as gently caress? Sure. Does it mean you're going to be less of a liability in melee and get back to shooting, the thing the class is good at as fast as possible? Yes. It also requires zero talent points spent on melee abilities to be good, too. It was in a bad way in patch 13, but it has come roaring back for patch 14.

Shotguns are probably good, I liked the agripinaa for special sniping but never liked the others, but everyone, myself included, is running revolvers and I hardly see shotguns.Insert name here posted:My default for Vet if I don't know what to take is the Shovel, which is very good at staggering and being defensive and was just buffed to do more damage, however the knife is insanely good if you build around it with a melee vet which is how I'm running it currently. I've seen some people try to build around the bleed stacks with lacerate but I think that's a trap, because the knife does fuckall for non-weakspot damage so I think it's best to build around hitting heads. Take Mercy Killer and the talent Serrated Blades so you can have near 100% uptime on Mercy Killer, spam attacks at head level and marvel at surprisingly effective it is at being a horde blender. Can confirm the knife is top tier on veteran with the 1 talent point investment on the right side for guaranteed bleeds, people poo-poo it's horde clearing but I just spam lights on hordes and stuff dies fast, plus it's incredibly useful to be highly mobile for stabbing important targets or backing away from a dozen crushers and maulers chaining overhead slams after you. Plus knife has some of the best melee animations in a game filled with good melee animations, it is very satisfying to just hold a heavy attack and sprint at superspeed at someone just to slam the knife down on their head. I'd say a good knife on veteran can be equal or better than a good zealot knife because the zealot is fishing for crits to get bleeds before their big damage comes online and the veteran just has to hit once.

toasterwarrior posted:how are the human shotties feeling now, they got rebuffed in the last patch right? I'm enjoying them, the ammo buffs have made them a more viable sidearm option for my Zealot. Revolver is the meta pick, but with the shotgun's buffed ammo pool I feel less bad about pinch hitting on clicking shooter heads than when I run revolver. Surprisingly, for my Zealot indomitus crusher build I'm finding the regular Lawbringer shotgun comfy. Its horizontal spread alt shot can be quite effective at softening up beefier hordes of bruisers or killing/suppressing a pack of shooters. The other variants are as good as they ever were, Agripinna feels a bit better on its default shot too so you can do more than just only use the slug.

toasterwarrior posted:thank you! It's not as consistent as revolver head clicking, but with the right blessings you can one-tap flamers and trappers at short range, 2 or 3 tap gunners at mid-long range on Damnation. I consider No Respite to be mandatory for that job so you get a damage boost on subsequent shots if the first doesn't kill, second to taste - Full Bore is good for Agripinna even without using the slug since the spread is so tight on it, but I haven't settled on my preference for the second blessing on my Lawbringer just yet.

So what counts as "continuous fire" for Blessings on weapons that don't actually have full auto equivalents, like plassma and Rumbler? Is there like a period where any shots count as continuous?

I'd advise taking it into the meatgrinder and seeing how long until the buff drops off after you fire.

Shoutout to the Accatran Mk 7a Recon Lasgun post patch 14 - it hits about as hard as the Agripinaa autoguns and has similar punch through so it's decent against bunched shooters or melee dudes, it's a pretty interesting alternative for run and gun hip fire with decent mid range performance. Tests were done with Headhunter and Dumdum but I think speedload and deathspitter are real competitive alternatives as well as the reliable Infernus.

Weapon customization mod would help with that, been trying it out and dannng if fatshark doesn't just release their own version of this I don't know what they are doing, you can customize appearance, scopes, special action, got a whole lot of models you can slap on anything and weapons will appear on everyone's character models back so the ogyn's shield doesn't just disappear into the air when they swap it out. It's exactly what the game needs for further customization and hopefully the majority of the skins and recolors won't be hidden behind a cash shop if this becomes official.

Legit Businessman posted:There are some subtle differences between the III and the VI Powah Swords: That was very informative so thank you. Might have to give that a go. How bad are chainswords post patch? I really, really like chainswords so far and almost hate to give them up once the patch hits Xbox. Just something so 40k about revving one up. I loved knives before they got unlocked but yeah… nothing more satisfying than a revved up attack on some mook. If they have Tanith dress up in the store I will 100% go back to knives for a bit on my vet. Zealot just has to use eviscerators or thunder hammers in my opinion. Only way to properly bring heretics back to the light. Thanks to all for the psyker and Ogryn weapon talk. Going to try out some options. Thanks again DT thread.
