I like coming back to a skill or ability I initially discounted as useless and seeing something. The grand strategist's blitz strategem is fun for letting everyone travel huge distances, by dropping a zone on the far side of the arena and targeting it. Or leaving cover to go perform an AOE from the best spot, and boomeranging back to cover for 0ap.

Welp found a power sword which, when you parry an enemies attack, you attack back. It works on their attacks of opportunity too. It's great watching Abelard nonchalantly charge past a group of enemies to his target, and they all fall down behind him like it's a samurai movie.

Eifert Posting posted:Toy box is pretty self-explanatory I used it to fix a couple of broken quests. I agree but one thing to keep in mind is the rep levels don't have any obvious rhyme or reason between them. You might need 20,000 rep for one level then 1,500 for the one after. It seems like there are colony projects that bridge those huge gaps. I wish you could see the rep levels in advance.

It took me a long while to understand burst fire, so a little psa using burst fire with rapid fire against single targets is a bad move. With burst fire, your shots go into lanes, a center lane between you and the target, and a lane on either side of that. A bullet goes down its lane and starts checking to hit whatever is first in the lane, then whatever is second in the lane if it got past the first and so on, it doesn't change lanes (there are two more lanes at long range to pick from though). The higher your BS skill, the higher your chance for the bullet to follow the center lane. When you have stacked revel in slaughter, versatility and stat increases, burst fire w/o rapid fire becomes laser accurate, incredible for shredding single targets but lovely for mulching groups. Rapidfire ignores BS and gives your bullets a more even split between center lane and the other two. Fantastic for late game burst firing into crowds or idiots dumb enough to take up two or more squares, like a certain emperor's angel who shall remain nameless and heavily bleeding.

pentyne posted:That's when you see all the enemies with different percentage calculations you'd think "oh 40% and 5% what's the point?" but the way the game calculates that is hosed sometimes, much less the mechanics of how burst+overpenetration works. The actual number is meaningless and for a rapid/burst fire you land 1/2 of them as hits minimum against anything short of some dodge monsters. Yeah the percentage chances it shows for burst first chance to hit are kinda hosed. I think it's showing the chances of any one bullet hitting that target, assuming the situation is a frozen tableau. Like when you see those really low 5% or less burst fire hit percentages, I think it's showing the chance of a bullet going to that lane, the first target dodging and the second target getting hit by it. It doesn't account for the first target getting gibbed and the second target becoming open, which tbf you'd have to make a lot of assumptions to give odds for. I wasn't really referring to the cth calculations though, I was talking about how burst fire works mechanically. Burst fire doesn't make direct attack rolls using your BS, the initial BS roll is to see which lane a bullet goes down. Bullets attack the first target in their lane, they don't ever cross over or cross back, if there's no targets or no targets remaining in a lane, the bullet is wasted. If the target is behind cover, there's a 35/60% chance the bullet hits the cover for partial/full cover respectively, +/- whatever cover benefits/maluses. If it doesn't hit cover, the target attempts to dodge. If they dodge, the bullet continues and tries again on the next target in the lane. Bullets can overpen cover/targets to attack the target behind. With high BS/no rapid fire it's a 4/5 chance for a bullet to go down the center lane, the remaining 1/5 are split 50/50 between the left/right lanes. If shooting beyond effective range, it's about 2/5 in the center lane, 2/5 to end up in either left/right, and 1/10 to end up in the extreme left/right lanes that open beyond effective range. With rapidfire, BS has much less impact, it's more like 3/5 in the center lane, 1/5 to each side line. Outside effective range it gets way worse, 1/5 center line, 2/5 to either side lane 2/5 to the extreme side lanes. Running the numbers I was wrong in general, the increase in RoF should make up for wasted bullets even against single targets if you have the talent that removes the damage debuff. If you have that, rapid fire all day every day unless you're afraid of hitting friendlies. Love to remove the chance to dodge attacks then remember my allies are relying on dodge to survive Argenta's insane damage.

Eufrates II fight spoilers/rant in act 4: king defiler fight could've been easier. Ulfar did his charge at an enemy, and went the very long way, literally the furthest point on the map away from combat. Great. Tried to get argenta to blitz her way across the arena to nuke something and then she went to the second furthest point on the map away from combat. And every turn they end trying to get back to the fight, the boss got a free turn.  what a time not to bring honest abe's parry emporium and instead give ulfar a chance to tank. He loving tanks alright, when do I get some decent equipment for this giant loser? It's so dumb he can't use big two-handed weapons like thunder hammers in one hand.

In all seriousness is there a guide for building Ulfar? The closest I've come to making him decent is relying on an ult from an officer and going ham with 0ap actions. He just got a chain sword and then a power axe and drat it I'm invested, even though he considers it heresy to not use a pistol and melee weapon together. He also got a flamer that is considerably worse than the one we got for puny regular humans a few planets back. Also, anyone know what happens if you give a character that item that gives the benefit of full cover all the time, and then bump up their cover efficiency?

I found a way to make Ulfar useful! Metabolic overcharge from a biomancer, such as Heinrix. It works for anyone, but it works better for Ulfar, because he can keep moving after attacking without needing heroic action support. There's an item Spirit Drape, which makes non-attacking psychic powers cost -1 on the first turn, and they have a talent that makes biomancy powers cost -1 on the first turn. I forget where it came from. It can work without the item, but it's a lot better, as the biomancer can buff multiple people for free if they get multiple turns in the first turn, like Abelards ult or Move Move Move. They can't cast metabolic overcharge until their actual turn, but it will still be AP free so they can go murder someone, and Ulfar has enough hp he won't miss it unless he's getting focused down. Ulfar gets a lot of attack actions between dual weapon combat, run and gun and arch-militant shenanigans, even early with his astartes knife, as it will refund the attack action and give +1AP if he gets a kill with it. His chance to hit and damage shoot up along with his versatility and he starts making GBS threads out crits. What I like about this is it doesn't take away from first turn officer shenanigans or require heroic actions. Ulfar won't take much damage waiting for his turn and usually goes late, he's usually closer to having a double turn by finishing metabolic overcharge into his normal turn. It can be nice to go late as the melee enemies group up a bit for you.

while I'm full team wolf awooooo now, how they released with him having so many issues is beyond me. Not being able to see where his 4x4 will end up with movement abilities, his charge regularly sending him off to the far corner because it's trying to place him where he can't fit, his charge attack using his bolt pistol not his melee weapon, not being able to directly target destructible cover to clear his way except by grenades or area attacks (plasma the best), not being able to just coolaid man through lovely cover, ladders completely blocking him in combat, he can't even jump down. Also having so little equipment choices. He's actually good with an officer buddy to cuddle up to him and give him faux heroic action extra turns, especially an officer turned master tactician. It's fun watching him go full  and tear through an encounter.

Super limiting. Funny story, there's an item you might come across which says it automatically give Prey to the highest HP enemy in combat. But as far as I can see it seems to give prey to... everyone. It's a lil absurd. The Lone Badger posted:I can't figure out how to use Operatives properly and am considering using Toybox to forcibly turn Pasqal into a Warrior. How horrible an idea is this? Pasqal isn't really an operative, he can ignore a lot of the operative talents and pick from his super special ones. His job is to cast machine intelligence on himself for a surprisingly big damage boost, as well as anyone who burst fires as it greatly reduces recoil, then throw out exploits for extra damage or to strip dodge/armour. And to use his special debuff thingo on the hardest hitting enemy on the field. He has so many special plasma related talents he gets out of control. e: the tacital knowledge ability is probably borked in players favour. Try and isolate one enemy for it's AOE, stack a bunch of exploits on it, then use tactical knowledge for an armour buff to everyone and a huge flat damage buff to the operative.

Ciaphas posted:Guess I ought to have realized the Navigator would be a party member - I figured I'd give it a pass because it's not like I needed to warp out of the system yet and navigators just do their own thing on the ship in the lore, I'd thought Burst fire starts off kinda poopy until you get ways to mitigate enemy dodge and cover, or high BS to mitigate, then its gets obscene. The officer ability Take Aim means the enemy don't get cover against the next attack, but if you use it on someone who has Voice Of Command, enemy (and friends tbh) won't get their dodge either. Cover and dodge are literally the only two ways to avoid burst fire, then it's down to tanking it. If a character does dodge a bullet, then the bullet will try anyone standing behind them. If the bullet hits a person's cover, it will damage or destroy it, and can possibly over-penetrate. It can possible over-penetrate a target it does hit and continue to hit others. There's an exemplar talent far in the future that actually makes over-penetrations way more likely and impossible to dodge, which is god drat hilarious. Full cover which can be penetrated actually becomes a liability, as they no longer get to dodge.  Regarding chance to hit, read the next paragraph. Zore posted:Her initial gun is like the single worst in the game for burst fire, recoil as a stat is just flatly subtracted from your hit rate and it has 40. Just give her a Longlas or Sniper Rifle for now and a better bolter/heavy bolter when you get them later, by level 15 or so she will be death incarnate with rapid fire. Nah. When you burst fire, there's a line of squares drawn between you and the target, 3 squares wide within effective range or 5 wide outside effective range. When you burst, there is some ungodly calculation of your BS to check if your bullet goes down the very center line of squares, "deviates slightly" (this is the treated exactly the same as center line within effective range, but beyond effective range it becomes the adjacent lines adjacent to the middle line) or "deviates strongly" (the outside lines). As far as I can tell, bullets that deviate out of the center line are 50/50'd between the respective left/right line. The recoil stat shifts the check by a fixed amount for every shot after the first and does make slight and strong deviations more likely. Which sound really bad! Until you learn that when using the Rapid Fire ability, it has its own probabilities for center/slight/strong deviations, and does not care about your BS. If you have the talent that gets rid of the damage malus on rapid fire, it is always worth it. Keep in mind as well that if an enemy has a 2x2 or larger footprint, they still get hit by bullets that deviate into their other squares. If you mouse over the burst fire icon before hitting Rapid Fire, you can see the probabilities for center line and deviations, but remember center line and slight deviations are the same thing when inside effective range. The chance to hit shown to hit a target is a snap shot of how likely a bullet is to hit the target, which includes working out how likely a bullet is going to go to their line, how likely their cover is to take the hit, how likely they will dodge. It isn't at all accurate for people standing behind the target, as it's telling you what is the chance the bullet slips by the first guy and gets the second, not what the chances are to hit the second guy are once the first gets turned into mist. Sab669 posted:Seems like Burst Fire / high ROF weapons + Archmilitant class is what everyone likes ITT. I had a two second experiment with Argenta which put a high end melta pistol in one hand a hand flamer in the other. It was promising, but tbf I had used the heavy bolter through that fight to generate her versatility, it was just a quick test. I want to go for a melee or a seraphim style build at some point.

Just had a horrifying thought that if the DLC does extend the campaign, I'm going to have to suffer the consequences of my actions.Warmachine posted:Excellent coverage on burst fire, except for one thing: Rapid Fire. I think Rapid Fire is more conditional than you make it out to be as your BS rises and you start getting ways to compensate for recoil (High BS, Pasqal's Machine Spirit Communion, some gloves and boots that cut recoil in half or completely negate it) you start being reliably able to put the full burst down the center line. It becomes a choice between consistently landing the full burst on a single target/line, or spreading it across an area where it wouldn't normally deviate anymore. I think when I last checked, the max I could get was 80% chance for bullets down the center line, which I had thought was maxed out. But I just checked again and now I'm at 95% center line so yep you're right. For other people's reference, rapid fire in effective range is 60% center line no matter your low/high skills.

Is it just light injuries or is it healing the proper traumas, like the broken ribs and poo poo? If so which is it, the tooltips on his healing powers seem to imply it is light injuries only. It doesn't remove trauma, it removes staggered, which a replenishing useful stimm inflicts. It would be great if that stimm actually worked as described. It also removes fatigued, which are from failing skill checks, and otherwise are a go back to ship to remove thing. Better med kits can remove traumas.

Ulfar needs cautious stance and some officer extra turn investment if you want him to tank, but once you get him going he can tank and murder with the best of them, or switch between full murder and full tanking depending on what you need. I played vanguard Abe which colours my opinion of him, but I found deflection/armour tanking dropped off late game, and I wasn't even playing on the hardest difficulties. Or the really good items arrived too late to really use them. E: like that judge dredd heavy armour that gave a massive bonus to armour if you have high coercion. I can't remember but there was some item that gave armour based on lore imperium, so Jae of all people had a huge armour rating for me. This is moot anyhow as Cassia is the secret best tank.
