Arc Hammer posted:To this day I'm still not sure what I should be running on my curios. I've got one with an extra Wound, another with stamina and the third has extra toughness. What should I be aiming for with the blessings and traits? I like to take health on the curio blessing and then toughness on the perks

Arc Hammer posted:So I could theoretically stack 60% sniper resist if I felt like it. That could be useful on shock gauntlets. It's multiplicate so it's more like 35%~ or so iirc. One of each sniper and gunner is usually not a bad choice tho Really just run whatever you feel comfortable with, though Ogryn doesn't really need a wound curio.

My Curios are +1 wound, and 2 +toughness, unless it's my Ogryn, and then it's +1 wound, +toughness and +health, since ogryn just have so much of it. Perks under them are usually what they roll, but +toughness regen and +ability cooldown have never served me wrong. Even though multiple ability regens have lesser effect, one second is a long time when you really need that ability. For resists I always go for bomber and flamer since those are the ones that really screw me the most.

+3 Stamina is great on everyone but Ogyn, makes a noticeable difference when trying to pick up people in a crowd of poxwalkers all hitting you at once.

Stamina is amazing for Psyker, would highly recommend taking it over a extra wound or another curio effect, with kinetic deflection blocking a boss hit raises peril by 20 instead of 40.

I think if you routinely run below damnation, one wound curio on humans is good. Because you're going to get hit by a dog or trapper and it's going to take like a week before your team stops farting around to pick you up, and then they'll do it in a fire or directly under a Cruaher. If you run two wounds this will kill you. In damnation, imo run no wounds because it's not usually attrition that ends runs.

You never want extra wounds on ogyn, they have enough, I remember someone ran a few hundred games checking curio stats and the data found ogyns with any wound curio's went down way more and lowered the win %. I run 1 health 2 toughness on mine since having 200+ toughness when you generate 25% on a heavy hit is kinda hard to ever die.

Kibayasu posted:I don’t know who to trust! ninjoatse.cx posted:I thought that was supposed to be fixed It actually may have been, it only affected the kick for so long that's kind of just ingrained in my brain. I'm good about reading patch notes but it's honestly been so long I don't even remember. Regardless though, it's imo not worth the resist perk. You can either jump through the fire cause it's a short enough jaunt, or you're just dead because you're stuck in the middle and unable to move due to other circumstances so you're just dead.

IMO, get 3 toughness on Ogryn. You have enough health, more than enough health, for accidents. Get 240 toughness and you’ll never take damage even if you facetank plague ogryns and chaos spawns.

I did used to run 3 toughness but flamers and bombers being insane made me swap one to health, probably worth swapping to a third toughness again now that only snipers can break it instantly. Hot Ogyn tip: the little nodes are sometimes more valuable then the big nodes, take all the 10% toughness damage reduction and +25 flat toughness across the tree and become unkillable, toughness is useful all the time, some of the big passives are only useful sometimes.

Hey all. Been playing for a bit, trying to get my weapons up to spec. These are being used with a vet that's going down the right hand talent tree with infiltrate, sometimes zipping left for focus sniper shenanigans. This is my mid-short range head popper:   The longer range head popper:   General purpose "RMB+LMB to delete horde"   This here is the can opener, I like it because it handles both hordes and it lets you one shot muties and crushers when using the folded warpick thing, esp with the anime transformation talents you get when dropping out of infiltrate.  Just run behind the gunner horde and open their heads one by one, because otherwise its "Oh no, my only weakness! 6 to a dozen guys with machine guns lighting me up."  I'm probably missing some basics. Got a plasma gun and a decent sniper bolter going, but I'm worried I'm fumbling with the...non intuitive stat blocks and these weapons are actually garbage somehow.

Need some opinions/ranting on the veteran chainsword options, I ran power swords because It's Meta but Im trying out a chainsword with a high finesse roll + weapons specialist and am just in love with how fast it attacks with melee specialist active. I prefer horde clear and mobility, I have my revolver/plasma gun for head clicking on elites. MK IV or MK XIIIg? Preferred blessings / perks? Thoughts on these vs power sword w/ power cycler IV?

Ooooooo I can answer this. I get where you are coming from: Devilclaw is good but 40k IS chainswords and powerswords. MK4 chain is cool. Heavy swings for horde clear and light for pretty much small clear/single guys. Biggest thing Mark13 has is simplicity. Light attacks for horde and heavy attack for single nasties. I got a good one and it’s really nice mixing with plasma and the like. Power Sword? It’s ok. Just one dog’s opinion but it’s good with hordes (charge for more) but single target suffers a bit. Can it still be used? Sure. Chainswords will take down that crusher, mauler or whatnot far faster in my view. Still good but I swear the Emperor just loves a good chainsaw rev. Devilclaw IS fantastic for hordes but I just love me some chainsword. Power cycler is cool but, again, just not as cool as the chainswords for me. Perk wise a goon said + flak and unarmoured and that has been great so far. Blessing wise I got slaughterer and… I forget but it amounts to more cleave per hit and toughness per elite kill (if I remember correctly). It’s really nice for when I can plas. Don’t even carry krak grenades anymore and I’m fine. Mk 13 4 lyfe or until it gets changed. Not overpowered or anything and, again, I love the simplicity.

Mk6 Powersword is once again the most braindead powerful melee weapon vet has, but at least it requires some effort unlike the original iteration of the mk4 Powersword. it can opens, it horde clears effortlessly, it chops up medium size elites. Only thing it struggles with is monsters. Chainswords are good fun, all you really need is Rampage on the og mk, the other blessing can literally be whatever. I use Rev It Up cause going fast is actually kinda handy more often than you think.

Arc Hammer posted:I rolled a really good Accatran Mk IIa lasgun. This thing is kind of insane and it's a straight upgrade over the standard Mk II. It does the same damage per shot, has the same magazine size, but it fires three times as fast and therefore gets more critical hits. I've got mine loaded up with DumDum and Infernus plus bonus vs flak and it obliterates hordes and everything short of a Mauler Ogryn. It fires so fast that if you aim down sights you can drop a poxburster in a single volley if you land the headshots. Are you talking about the Mk VId? There are three Accatran Recon Lasguns: the Mk VIIa, the Mk II, and the Mk VId. The VIIa is the heavy hitter (relatively speaking), with the highest damager per shot and lowest attack speed (7.69/s). The II is the awkward middle child with reduced damage and faster fire rate (11.11/s). The VId is the fast one of the bunch and strangely has the same damage range as the II but also a significantly faster fire rate (16.67/s). The II has some better numbers against infested and unarmoured, but the VId has better mobility stats.

Perversely i found you need to be more accurate with that despite the high ROF because those shots are doing sub-autopistol damage each unless you've got some perks and/or build to make it sing.

ADS turns it into a laser pointer and infernus plus dumdum means you can just hose down the hordes. Grab the crit and the crits=free las shots talents and it's almost as ammo efficient as a Columnus MkV

It’s not amazing. Finesse damage (and crit damage and weak-spot damage) is better on the knife than on anything else, but it’s still not good. So you’ve got two perks and two blessings all adding up to like… maybe 5-10% more overall damage, if you’re lucky. Some good knife blessings: Lacerate, Flesh Tearer, Riposte, Ruthless Backstab. Some people swear by Uncanny Strike; not my style personally. Haymaker can be good on the new Mk6 knife. For perks you want flak damage (just like every other weapon) and then whatever for the other one, probably like… maniac damage or something. megane fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Helldivers have obvious issues yes, but they seem to me the type that should be solved in two more weeks. I needed to wait 4 months after the '1.0' release of Darktide to not crash constantly. And as you all know, the game didn't feel fully featured until a year later (small amount of maps, no console version, incomplete crafting system, character progression and customization...) Just looking at Steam, HD2 got a 76% on user reviews after 4 days of release, and now it's at 79%. Darktide got a 64% one month after the initial release. The general score now is 67% because the abundant negative reviews of the first months. But if I filter the reviews from Oct 2023 onwards, it's a 86%. That's why I say "the success that could have been..." Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Feb 16, 2024 |
