So I ran White Rat with a friend and after we won it loaded us back in the now-empty map. Our kill on the ogre was revoked, per the contract note in the corner. We had no way to end the mission. When I tried to disband the party my screen froze. When we killed the process and restarted, the mission was incomplete.

So I got that red elf sword that was on the quest board a little while ago. I... don't like it that much. Its traits are scavenger (20% on kill), killing blow on normal attacks (15%), and regrowth on charged attacks (10% chance to recover 5 health on hit). If the regrowth was on normal attacks I think it'd be pretty good/usable or maybe the weapon is just suffering because it's a one-handed sword pre-whatever Fat Shark is doing to them in the next patch. I don't play the elf much, but I think I prefer sword and dagger even though mine are blue. Killing blow can trigger through armor though, right?

Really though, it's all moot because the elf doesn't have a two-handed hammer. Kruber4Lyfe. Bardin too.

I have that sword too and I really want to learn how to use it properly but the sword and dagger combo is much more fun. The vertical power attack on the single sword is useless for me so I am wasting the third trait slot. Also you can't switch the traits :sad:

Also I use the trueflight bow mainly for killing specials. Am I bad?

In what I'm assuming is their final form, the Falchion is OK OP, and the Warpick is OK, but the red is truly OP with the perk setup it has.

Ok, I should immediately rephrase the earlier statement because I realize now what they are doing with the Falchion: it's basically a Glaive just for Saltzpyre. It functions almost exactly like it.

The Falchion has 4 Stamina (2 Shields) and uses 2 stamina for a Push. I won't know its exact push strength until I decompile the source file. The Red one even has Devastating Blow and it's doing OK against clan rats. The Falchion hits only 2 targets and then gets 'stuck' like the Glaive would or any other similar weapon. The Light & Heavy attack have Head Shot modifiers and it seems to pull it off regularly, you can expect to kill 1 Clan Rat and put another in death's door unless you also hit him in the head. This is on Nightmare. More interestingly is that the Light & Heavy attack both have Armor Penetration but the Light attack certainly isn't penetrating any armor. The block speed seems about the speed of blocking with the Elf 1h Sword in 1.4.

This is a slow weapon and needs to be played like it's a 2-hander to use effectively. Kills rats well enough though, seems to have a real easy time of Head Shots, but it's slow.

The Warpick is relatively unchanged from its unfinished form, but it also gets stuck after hitting a certain number of rats now. Not so egregious as the Falchion, still a great weapon. Especially how it stunlocks Stormvermin :getin:

edit: yeah I feel bad about hating on the Falchion so fast but they're going to nerf that. It works like Drachenfels-launch Glaive. It does 22 damage with a Charge Headshot on Clan rats, meaning it kills it in one hit. It will 1 hit kill Cata clan rats with a light attack headshot. You can 2-shot a stormvermin with 2 clean charge attack headshots at 10 damage each. I think a substantial line of Orange Falchions also come with Backstabbery, meaning this weapon could be a straight upgrade from the current 1h Axe. Out of all the weapons in this game, this Falchion has a massively easy chance of landing those headshots. It's a loving awesome weapon is what it is. Its primary downside is that it has a weak push, which I will be classifying hereon as Lv.1 to Lv.4 pushes. The Falchion is Lv.1, or "weak_sweep_push" as seen in the files.

They go

weak_sweep_push
basic_sweep_push
heavy_sweep_push
super_heavy_sweep_push (only for Shields w/ Dev Blow)

They'll be dropping only from the Dorf maps. It's their DLC strat I guess, have great weapons that require the mother of all RNG rolls to grab.

Then a few months later nerf the poo poo out of them. These two weapons are holy avengers.

They reduced the efficient dodge counter to 1 on the 2-handed hammers haha

What that means is you can only dodge once and for a second or two any other dodges give you no distance.

Well the block time on them is crazy good so that shouldn't be too bad.
I take damage all the time because i expect to cancel an animation into a block as fast as the hammers because I used one for so long.

"Tweaked Active Reload window: This affects when you can press 'R' to reload faster. "

I don't think Fatshark is telling the truth here. I have the Red handgun out, which has MC, and I am noticing zero difference between letting it reload itself and mashing R.

All weapons have a dodge count, usually at 4, some less. If you see anywhere in the balance changes about the weapons dodge count being lowered, that is what it does at least.

This is correct as of the beta. Handguns and crossbows had it removed entirely (a massive nerf to crossbows in particular) while it is still unchanged on I believe everything else, but most importantly the blunderbuss and grudge raker.

I have not played this official patch so I'm assuming no changes to active reload since the beta.

So did they keep the friendly fire in on conflag/beam alt fires? It seems like those would all be downright miserable to use now instead of just 'non optimal' like they were before the patch.

I just want the fireball staff to be good so I can be a generic fantasy trope fire wizard princess.

They did not light teammates on fire and the beam was also adjusted so it no longer did that either, so it wasn't much of a problem. Basically the same as any other FF attack.

In the beta, the fireball staff was killing an entire NM summoner's peak portal spawn of slave rats at once from a single fireball. Presumably it would do the same thing on cataclysm either right away or after the burn DOT.
