I feel like I'm up to snuff for heresy and no further, but every squad I join doesn't even have the fundamentals down Damnation pubbies are far and away better, though admittedly after the update 15 on the non-Carnivale levels the director feels a lot meaner. Doesn't change the fact I will never pub Heresy, but I will pub Damnations happily. Hell, only play the auric board and you're far less likely to get bad players.

Pharmaskittle posted:Is the quality of pubbies higher on damnation than heresy?

Bottom line, play some damnation games, worst case you piss off 3*numberofgames pubbies but honestly people who get upset over that sort of thing aren't worth caring about. Having games requiring superhuman effort to carry to the finish line are fun sometimes IMO.

This holds true for every single co-op vs pve multiplayer game, the hardest difficulty is the easiest because it is filled with people who have min maxed and done it so much they can do it with their eyes closed can probably easily carry one newbie, the middle difficulties are always the hardest difficulties because it is filled with people who are either inexperienced, aren't confident enough to go higher or so toxic that they drag every game down and think it's everyone else keeping them there.

I am having a devil of a time telling for sure but it appears the psyker guide guy who claims you get Destiny stacks if the victim merely has your Soulblaze on is wrong. Again, though, devil of a time making certain.

Tried the Columnus infantry gun on crit psyker and while I don't think it's out-and-out obviously better than heavy las pistol, it definitely feels comparably good and a lot of fun. You're not as reliable for popping distant specials, but better at mowing down ragers and slightly better with Gaze at cutting down bosses.

So does the veteran talent that replenishes grenades from ammo pickups work for ALL ammo pickups or just the deployable ones? If it's the former that's a pretty viable alternative to the grenade regeneration talent.

Deployables only; it makes your deployables do extra things for everybody.

Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:I've been mostly playing ogryn since the skill tree patch dropped and as far as I can tell all an ogryn melee build needs to be good is smash em, best defense, batter, and delight in destruction. Throw a couple heavies into a crowd and you've filled your toughness and applied enough bleed to take 60 percent less damage. As long as you spend the rest of your points on something you're golden. Hell yeah, that's the good stuff.

Depends on team comp, if you have 3 psykers, probably don't need the aura, if another veteran has it and you trust them to not bail, can probably swap to a alternate build that saves a passive point and gives the team another aura, otherwise you really should be taking it. If you don't have it and you have 3 gunner ogyns they will look at you with contempt and scorn.

Was playing a Maelstrom with the "no ammo pickups" modifier and I didn't even realise until the end of the game when everyone's ammo pickups was 0! Ammo aura works really well with slug shotgun, it's very efficient

im beginning to doubt that the highest diff has the best pubs because im seeing people try and do it at like level 15, and one extremely loving annoying recurring issue ive noticed is people hanging on to medkits while everyone still has max wounds but low hp. what are we doing here, the kit cannot restore wounds, drop the fuckin thing before we all die

Difficulty is all over the place right now. Controller players are mixing things up, people are trying out new difficulties or falling afoul the tweaked difficulty from this patch, the vet talents still haven't been fully mastered. I've played Damnation for months and usually the group chugs along, helps each other out and moves at a good pace. I keep getting matches where my team just gets pinned down and refuses to move or splits up or gets fascinated by a bit of wall for a worryingly long period of time. Twice today I've had to get into chat just to get people to move along after an objectives has been completed, there's something very strange happening and I think it's lowbies trying to get carried to max out their levels.

I think the people who used to just split up and roam around while relying on their skillz to pull through are getting messed up by the increased director threat, teams need to be on top of eachother and watching eachothers backs as best as they can because the director is merciless right now and you will always have to watch your back from being surrounded by chaff, or the AI deciding to spawn bosses every half a minute, or popping a rager horde into existence within your line of sight. People who go down to the first major threat are also a larger liability, if someone is split and goes down around 30 gunners and crushers that's a lot of HP for the team to carve through with 1 less damage dealer. Dome psykers are incredibly useful right now to not get gunned down or bombed or sniped immediately and gives your team a big visible "GET OVER HERE" location that stops chip damage.

Even if the rest of the team doesn't really know what they're doing, one solid player can generally carry the rest, as long as they can at least move in the right direction.

Me and a friend got humbled by a couple zealots running the same blessings of double bleed dagger/blaze and overpressure flamer during an auric maelstrom, true level mod showing post-30 levels put one of them at around level 1168, they were going to finish the map regardless of what we did and one of them solo'd a daemonhost without taking a hit for the fun of it, we just tried not to slow them down too much from pushing our baby strollers while they slaughtered everything.

Thats cool. It may also just be that every time lately for me that a daemonhost needed to be fought it's in the middle of a complete clusterfuck. Also can beasts of nurgle spawn chaos spawn? I swear i saw one pop out the other day

Once you get more comfortable at the game and start pushing the higher difficulties you'll be surprised how fast you find anything below 5s to be kinda boring. Also need that sweet sweet plasteel

Low intensity damnation is more chill then regular heresy too, but anything below high intensity shock trooper gauntlet is a snoozefest at this point.
