The Vet passive "Exhilarating Takedown" is reportedly bugged. This one is far down the left side of the passive tree IIRC. If you use this you take more damage instead of less. https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/17q6ve3/psa_veterans_exhilerating_takedown_is_bugged_and/ some guy on reddit posted:Yea, the talent uses toughness_damage_taken_modifier which usually is supposed to be negative (toughness_damage_taken_multiplier being positive). A minus is missing.

Evil Kit posted:If you can be handle yourself in Heresy and only play pubs, just jump up to Damnation. The pubbies in Damnation are way, way better and the crafting mat pick ups are more than doubled. Dive in! This times a million. Heresy is the new easy mode and you will get plenty of people trying out new weapons and generally slumming around not taking it seriously.

If you are being shot by your team mates, you will see a green arc near your aim cursor in the direction of the FF, just like being hit by an enemy shows a blue arc if its eating your toughness, or a red arc if you're losing life.

EDIT: Like no joke a trapper or dog can basically kill you these days, especially trappers, because if feels like they're timed to immediately hit you with a poxburster or flamer.

I am now level 12. I am in love with the Eviscerator chainsword and horribly disappointed in the purgation flamer. I now look like a 7 foot tall angry Scottish Joan of Arc. Bardin Goriksen has transformed into Melk, Olesya and Lohner are medicae servitors and I'm not entirely sure if Kruber transformed into Sgt Maj Morrow or if it's someone doing a very similar voice.

When Flayer procs does it eat a stack of Psionics to do more damage? If so, does that in turn proc the 15% toughness for using an empowered blitz?

It probably won't matter that much with the gear available at your current level, but the Flamer's Damage stat is one of it's dump stat as it only applies to the damage the flamer itself deals. It has no affect on the burning damage which is where most of the flamer's damage comes from. Burn, Cloud Radius, and Ammo stats are what matter. .Z. fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Nov 9, 2023 |

SuperKlaus posted:Thank you. Just tested in the Psykhanium, Kinetic Flayer doesn't eat a Psionics charge so I'm guessing it's not supposed proc the rest of the Psionic effects, however because  there's another unintended effect with Empowered Psionics. It is really really good if you're running Smite + Surge Staff. If you have an Empowered Psionics charge and use the Surge staff secondary, you get the damage bonus as if it were Smite, and you don't consume the charge afterwards. That's a free +125% damage to the Surge staff secondary attack. Doesn't work with Purgatus secondary ( I haven't tried Void or Trauma yet but I'm assuming it's the "projectile" common between the Smite and Surge staff that's responsible ).

Arc Hammer posted:I am now level 12. I am in love with the Eviscerator chainsword and horribly disappointed in the purgation flamer. The Eviscerator is such a great tool. It does a bunch of damage, it's rev makes it very good against hard targets, and if you know how to use the swing animations correctly, it can be used in almost any situation. It plays nice with bleed or crit builds and every Zealot should have at least one in their closet any time they've had a bad losing streak and want to just burn the world. The flamer is good, but it's an acquired taste. It locks down chokes very well and can hold off basically an entire wave on its own. You give up a lot of versatility to carry it though, you lose range and you become vulnerable to several special types. The basic left click is just a gush of hot air and you can use it to keep even very heavy specials constantly staggered, but right+left is the real meat and potatoes of the weapon. I like to use the knives with the flamer because it gives you a mid to long range tool. It's one of those weapons whose role only truly becomes clear when you hit HE Heresy or Damnation and waves of even poxwalkers become pretty dangerous. I tried one when I was about level 15, hated it, and didn't touch it again until I had been 30 for a while. I'm still not in love with its role. I don't like giving up long range but I'm very grateful to have one around on dog maps.

Big same on the Eviscerator. It's excellent against both hordes and specials, really the only things it can't effortlessly handle by itself are crushers and particularly large groups of ragers. Every now and then I find myself experimenting with the hammers or heavy swords, but it's always back to the good old evis sooner rather than later.

The eviscerator handles basically everything but carapace armor neatly. If you ever want a change of pace I strongly recommend trying the chainaxe. It shreds on light hits, chews up armor and sounds the best of the chain weapons. Push > light > push > light is a serviceable horde manager and it needs a rev to handle maniacs but it's a lot of fun grinding metal guys to bits.

Enjoying knife/las pistol zealot a lot lately. Revolver is better against specials, and I switch to it if I'm on a team with ogryns too, but las with infernus really beats the hell out of bosses.

Lately I've mostly been using the Indignatus crusher on hi-int shocktroop missions, and it's legit super good. Its horde-clearing is almost but not quite as good as the heavy sword or eviscerator, but it can deal with groups of Ragers and Crushers much more easily thanks to its special attacks and super fast high-finesse-multiplier shove-attacks. You can spam that shove-attack so fast that entire Rager squads can just be stunlocked forever as long as you open up with the special to knock them out of their combos, while Crushers just die in a couple quick bonks to the head while they're stumbling around. (this gets rather stamina intensive though, so some appropriate curios are recommended)SuperKlaus posted:Does someone have an accurate list of weapon base critical hit rates?
