There's still a pretty steady flow of specials but it wasn't stupid like four poxbursters in a row and twelve thousand ragers. I did see more Ogryn Crusher and Reaver patrols but I actually like fighting those.

BTW I did want to give a positive shoutout to a Zealot last night in a specialists turn into monsters maelstrom, they were running Loner/Stealth and actually used it to pull off some insanely clutch revives. I've probably said it before but the stealth Zealots are either top tier or just run off and die alone idiots, there is no in between. In other news, on my Veteran I've started trying out the Plasma and I really need to spend more time on it learning it's charging and sorta delayed shooting ways. Vent being on special instead of (R)eload like Psyker staffs is loving with my head but I've taken to quick swapping to melee to cancel the long reload when I don't actually need the reload.

I dunno, I had a Hab Dreyko Damnation mission go tits up just before the first drop down, me, another player and two bots - Everything was looking cosy as I just spotted a Crusher and two Ragers and was about to engage when we were swarmed by a dozen Ragers who came up the stairs behind us, Psyker was downed near instantly I managed to get a couple shots and a grenade off before I followed, then a third player replaced a bot and was instantly downed.tangy yet delightful posted:In other news, on my Veteran I've started trying out the Plasma and I really need to spend more time on it learning it's charging and sorta delayed shooting ways.

Those are good enough stats, perks, and blessings to just use for awhile until you unlock some blessings you might rather slap on there. I wouldn't be in any rush to lock its features in

I've also started using the plasma gun. Unfortunately it has a problem with gun feel which is surprisingly rare in this game. If I don't like the way a weapon feels to use I don't do well with it. The firing sound is good but the feedback feels lacking. I think the barrel flash obscuring my view of the projectile path is the big issue. I get a cloud of blue plasma and then hopefully something on the other side of that flash is killed. I won't deny its a powerful gun that can one shot specials but it just feels wonky compared to the lasguns or the bolter. Unrelated but I think the hotfix might have bugged out the veteran talent that gives grenades and clears wounds with deployable medkits and ammo packs. It was working yesterday on my veteran but did nothing today. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Nov 21, 2023 |

I don't know why all the assholes came out of the woodworks with this update. The other night a guy just whined over voice chat about the other players all game and then after I muted vc again I got a game with a psyker who typed paragraphs about how me and the other plasma shout vet were letting the team down. And now tonight I get a guy who died and complained about how las pistol was sub-optimal on my psyker because of stats. People used to be chill the last couple patches, but now the game is rough and the players suck.

If brainburst is feeling bad because of slowness can always take the 75% increased speed on ability use or empowered psionics to chain elite kills one after the other, though on all my builds I prefer warp siphon charges and don't have the spare point to get the reduced speed. As for the dome I tried to like the stunwalls but the dome is just overall way more consistent and covers more angles of shooters and bombers lobbing things at you, plus the special spawns are so crazy right now that I'd rather not have my dome damaged and destroyed by the first 2 out of 10 specialists to walk into it and have a trapper net get someone because it broke suddenly.

Man assassination mission boss fights either end in thirty seconds or your three quarters of your team gets wiped and then it's a cat and mouse chase around the arena. Do the two bosses you face have unique names or are they randomized? They're kind of a letdown either way compared to the fun personalities of the Vermintide bosses.

For whatever reason the boss in the prison is infinitely easier then the boss in the train station, prison fight is practically a 1vs4 that ends by the time the chorus kicks in partly because of power creep and partly because no specialists spawn during his fight, the train station will have specialists and gunners and ragers flooding in from every angle constantly and if you tunnel vision on the boss you'll get overwhelmed.

When my build has brainburst it's usually for the free hit every 15 seconds, but I still occasionally use it for sniping something that is at an awkward angle for staves, even voidstrike, to hit, like elite gunners around cover, opening up bulwarks for the team or stunning an elite, dogs and trappers and bombers running off behind a corner, but yeah it can feel a little bad if it stops halfway constantly because your teammates had it handled anyway. Taking the reduced brainburst on ability use feels good though if you drop a dome and start popping heads quickly. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Nov 21, 2023 |

This is basically how I use it too. Also BB is situationally effective when you want to get a sniper or gunner from behind cover.

You basically have to get used to how many taps it takes to kill something. The good part is it's usually only 1 or 2 for everything that's not an Ogryn. Look at your hitmarkers/listen for the "killed" sound cues. The big advantage over bolter is you don't have to reload every 3 seconds, and it doesn't take 6 years to ready up to fire once you whip it out.

A big benefit is thst because of the massive punch through, you can kill a whole group of ragers with maybe the same 3 or 4 shots. Sometimes I get surprised when I finish off one last tap and the killboard lights up with 5 or 6 things. The magazine for it being 40 shots also mean theres not many situations where youll need to reload mid combat, and with say plasma shout veteran with toughness on kill talents you'll never take health damage as part of the venting. Bolter at this point just doesn't have the usability or power to be worth taking on a vet anymore, logically. Emotionally it's still cool as hell but mechanically it really suffers from the lower comparative damage output and ready time.

One of the modifiers for the WeaponSpec keystone will restore ammo in your mag depending on how many stacks you have. You can kill 10 poxwalkers in melee and whip out plasma and have 33% ammo restored - in the right games you can basically run the entire level without ever having to manually reload, it's pretty sweet.

Do it one at a time if something's going wrong and just make sure you got the mod options settings menu ingame active to know it's working.

To contribute to brainburst talk i think its ok where it is at the moment but i do think it would feel better if it did enough damage to one pop in damnation or if it came out a little faster. Even if that meant increasing its peril output for the heavier blow option. But as is its still my favorite choice just so i can always tell snipers to go gently caress thenselves

I am confident now that Soulblaze does assist you with gaining Disrupt Destiny stacks. If a marked target has your Soulblaze on him and then dies by another player's hand you will gain a stack. I watched two burning targets die while I pressed no buttons and I got stacks both times - it is still possible that both just happened to technically die to the Soulblaze rather than the other players I witnessed hitting them, but unlikely. Unfortunately this seems to be little more than a cute trick while Disrupt Destiny continues to mark targets so randomly and slowly and cannot mark horde enemies or other useful types. It speaks to how little the trick does to assist you in gaining stacks that it took me so long to be able to confidently say that it works. Tested with an Illisi using Shred + Blazing Spirit and the Wildfire talent.

Evil Kit posted:there's a difference between "I don't like brain burst" and "brain burst is a bad ability". It feels bad to whiff brain burst for sure, but if you're doing it constantly then either your target priority is off or you have a really crack team staying on top of things. Or you're playing a lower difficulty than Damnation and it's easier to stay on top of threats coming at your team. Brain burst was great in beta and every time they've tweaked it its just gotten worse.

Aside from the initial nerf when it *was* too strong in the beta, Fatshark has pretty much only buffed it or given it a nice QoL touch up. Or bug fix that helped it. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been nerfed once since beta.

I mean the way Assail was when it first got added until its most recent nerf kind of shows how something can be too strong in a PVE environment, though in its case that was more due to how many you could fling out at once and how fast they'd recharge so you'd just have swarms of solidified hate flying around killing everything and leaving other players with nothing to do aside from dealing with chaff and the occasional boss

Disproportionate power is bad for variety, and games like Darktide live and die based on the variety (or lack thereof) available. Balance in co-op PvE matters.

The bigger issue really is if it causes what I mentioned with Assail and it makes a single player too good at too many things at once and interferes with other players being able to enjoy the game properly as well unless they use the same overpowered thing
