Insert name here posted:I haven't checked in a while to see if they bothered to change it but it used to straight up mislead you about how toughness works: It would say that you take toughness damage before health damage, then sticks a ranged enemy in front of you and has it shoot your toughness off. Now that is how toughness against ranged works... but crucially the tutorial does not specify ranged, and does not tell you how toughness versus melee damage works, so without any prior knowledge it's easy to assume your toughness would absorb melee hits as well in the same way. What do you mean? I haven't noticed any difference in how toughness works with melee vs ranged attacks. Internet Explorer posted:The Ogryn shield never really clicked for me, but I've finally found blessings/perks and a build that works for me. It's a lot of fun! Now if I can only find a "sidearm-like" setup to use with my Bull Butcher build that doesn't suck to use. I'm trying to like the Kickback, but I'm struggling. The Revolver on my Zealot has really spoiled me. IMO the real magic in the shield comes from its heavy attack. Extremely wide cleaving swing in front of you, basically hits everything 180 degrees, high stagger, and does plenty of damage. Load up on all the heavy attack related talents and just chain heavies all day, you won't be disappointed. Regarding the bull butcher, I find the heavy stubber guns to be a good complement. They're strong against pretty much everything that the cleaver isn't, and don't really need a lot of love from the talent tree to be effective (though I guess you could say that about most of the Ogryn ranged weapons, now that I think about it).

Evil Kit posted:Melee damage to toughness is both straightforward but sounds confusing when you first hear it: Oh interesting, I guess my toughness tends to fluctuate so much when I'm in the thick of things that I've never been able to pay close attention to what exactly is going on with it. RE things that should have been explained in the tutorial: weapon attributes! You can hover over them to see what they actually do, and what they actually do is important. Finesse probably doesn't do what you think it does (assuming something called "finesse" in a video game makes you think of something in particular in the first place).

Nehru the Damaja posted:Power is a different stat that also affects damage and stagger. Basically they jacked that up to make the jab do more stagger, and then adjusted the damage down to compensate (resulting in a small net increase in damage, but mostly the big stagger buff they wanted.) Sure, but what "jab" are they talking about? They said this applies to the "weapon special jab attack" but that isn't a good description of any specific attack that the combat blade has.

Evil Kit posted:the combat blade special attack is a straight jab from the reject's left hand. It also helpfully gives you a free heavy attack with your next attack, makes heavies much easier to spam. Ok, I'm dumb. By "jab" I thought they meant a stab from the knife, not like a boxing jab. It just now occurs to me that that's probably the more common definition of the term.

I solo'd a daemonhost just by parrying it with my Devil's Claw last night. Sorry for the stupid brag, but goddamn that was an exhilarating gaming moment. It was only Heresy difficulty, not sure if such a thing would be possible on Damnation.TaurusTorus posted:Anyone else having a problem with the first hit of the new eviscerator hanging sometimes? It feels like it randomly hangs for about a second, leading to me getting hit way more than I intend. It happens with light, heavy, revved, unrevved. I played a few games with it and didn't notice a problem like this. It's a slower weapon than I prefer, but the left click spam for horde clearing is excellent.

Tiny Chalupa posted:I feel like I'm getting a better handle on being a Psyker since I picked up Assail but I'm struggling to pick a ranged weapon that I like. Any pointers or suggestions? I don't think anyone mentioned this, but Venting Shriek and Psykinetic's Wrath will save you from dying to peril overload if you pop them while the death animation is going. If you've just unlocked Assail, then you haven't gotten to your combat ability yet, so you have the default Psykinetic's Wrath. It can kinda serve as training wheels if you're worried about peril.

Can't say what you're doing wrong if you don't explain what you did. I guess try creating two loadouts, choose different talents for each of them, then switch back and forth and you'll see the differences. Note that when you create a new loadout, it copies the one you're currently on.

It's kind of weird how Fatshark thought it was necessary to aggressively gatekeep weapons and skills with player levels, but at the same time you can be level 1 and hop right into an auric maelstrom damnation, no questions asked. Honestly, the game shouldn't even have a level up system in my opinion. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it adds nothing to the game other than frustration and tedium for new players (or not-new players who made a new character). Especially egregious for Psykers who don't even get access to a staff until level 7. This isn't an MMO. What's the point of this crap?

Mega Comrade posted:Can you? I thought it was greyed out until lvl 30 Actually, you're right. I just checked and the auric missions require level 30. However, the non-auric damnation missions only require level 15, and heresy missions require level 9. I'm sorry, but I don't want someone who's level 9 on my team when I'm playing heresy. Not because the player presumably sucks, but because their character definitely sucks due to missing so many talents. I guess at least by knowing this, I can avoid the issue just by sticking to auric missions.

The scoreboard mod is great, if only it weren't for the scores. I love having it for the analytics, so I can track how effective changes to my build are. For anyone using it for that sort of purpose, I highly recommend getting the "improved scoreboard" mod which ditches a lot of the arbitrary score keeping poo poo and focuses more on breaking down the stats, so you can see your crit rate, weakspot hits, etc. Would be cool if it also had stuff like the amount of damage blocked by the Psyker bubble, but I'm guessing that info just isn't available.

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.

DogsInSpace! posted:I love these recon guns and have used them as much as I can. The mark 2 is ok but definitely feels like a downgrade to either the 6 or 7a. I ended up trashing the mk II for the perk. For me, at least, the 6 is the preferred. I love its rate of fire. Love it. Tons of ammo and tons of backup; especially with ammo aura and that crits don’t expend las ammo. Absolutely melts most specials and trash mobs and its ROF makes hip firing a breeze. Only criticism is las sucks against armoured guys. IF you are forced to shoot a mauler it’s gonna be a full mag and change. Better to chainsword him. Crushers, maulers and bulwarks will be its bane. Everything else is cake. So much ammo that if you see someone wandered and surrounded by mobs you can cut some trash and not feel bad. If you play right you can go a whole map without picking up ammo. Large magazine size means you also don’t reload often. Agreed, even knowing that my numbers won't stack up compared to more meta choices, I still take my VId into fights every now and then just because it's such a fun weapon. You can actually take down armored targets surprisingly quickly if you're willing to branch down into both Rending Strikes and Onslaught. Add Bring It Down to the mix and you'll be killing Crushers with less than half a mag on damnation. You won't have room for a Keystone, but they kinda suck anyway. I'm pretty sure "close range" status is still bugged (it's only active up to 8m rather than 15m), so be wary of that when you take Dum Dum or Deathsplitter.

Cretin90 posted:How are the kantreal lasguns? I enjoy the revolver and plasma gun but sometimes it’s just really fun to roleplay as a guardsman grunt with a lasgun and a chainsword and a dream. I have little experience with the kantreals except people saying the 12 is good and ammo efficient. The Mk XII was king poo poo back in the old days, but buffs to autoguns and enemy stats have left all 3 of the Kantraels behind. IIRC the Ia (the middle one) received a damage buff a while back that brought its damage close to the heavy XII without sacrificing attack speed, making it the strongest of the series, but it's still not great. Decent special killer I guess, but if you're coming from the revolver or the plasma rifle you're going to miss how many shots it takes to bring something down.

The 44% stability roll wasn't doing it any favors either, but if Im shooting that slowly I like to do more than 30 damage to carapace. Revolvers and plasma guns really gently caress up the other guns in this game, it's hard to go from weapons with no target weaknesses to weapons with very obvious target weaknesses. Im trying out the Columnus instead. Crafted a really good (base stats) one at Brunt and I like the weapon dynamics. I'll just have to keep my Krak grenades close. Try the Ia  Try the VId

Yeah, that's what I was doing in the video. If you leave your wheel on clicky mode it's a lot harder to get a good rapid fire going. Lucky Bullet isn't a blessing by the way, it's the name of the status buff you get from the keystone talent Burst Limiter Override. As long as you have an Ogryn with enough points to reach a keystone, and literally any Rumbler or Kickback, you can try it out with zero investment.

I could never get into the Infantry Autoguns because of their weird burst fire, and the ADS takes up like half the screen. I've been having a lot of fun lately with the Columnus Braced Autogun. It kind of reminds me of running around with the M16 in L4D. With both Onslaught and Rending Strikes you can take down pretty much anything. e: My bad, I was thinking of the Headhunter Autoguns. I guess the choice between the Infantry and the Braced mostly comes down to whether you like using iron sights or not, otherwise they're pretty comparable.

It's hard to really compare the staves to one another because they're all so different. I play with a static group of friends, so I normally make my choice based on our team's loadout. -Purgatus is the horde control master. If your team's weak point is dealing with large crowds of trash, this is what you need. Avoid if your team is low on accurate ranged attacks for specialists, especially snipers, as this is the only staff that doesn't have a long ranged orb shot for a standard attack. -Voidstrike is a powerhouse, and very straight forward to use. It honestly doesn't really have any glaring weaknesses and can be effective against pretty much anything, though I'd argue it also doesn't excel at anything in particular. Probably the safest choice if you don't know what the rest of your team is running. -Trauma is great for disrupting groups of tightly clustered enemies no matter how big and scary they may seem, especially Bulwarks because the vertical attack ignores their shields. Terrible against Ragers and Mutants due to both stun and damage resistance, but you can just run a Mk IV duelling sword for those guys. -Surge is in a pretty bad place right now imo. It used to be a crit/weakspot king always aiming for the head (and before that it was crowd control), but now it's been nerfed to just do mediocre body hits. It's decent for taking out elites and specialists at medium range, but other than that it's kind of sad. Use it instead of the Voidstrike when you feel like chilling out on a lower difficulty and can't be bothered to aim. Devils Affricate fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Feb 28, 2024 |

My main problem with Brain Burst isn't the speed or the damage, but the targeting. It's just so miserable to use when there are a ton of garbage horde enemies running around. Either give it AOE damage/stun when it overkills, or let us set some kind of target ignore list.

Magitek posted:Two pieces of advice that eliminates 90% of the frustration when targeting BB: I mean, you pretty much just described what I was talking about when I said it's a miserable experience. It requires all the accuracy and attention of aiming a firearm but it also locks on to the first thing you point it at. The alt fire avoids the lock on but can be instantly and unintentionally retargeted if something jumps in the way. There's pretty much no situation where I would want to hit a pox walker with BB, so it's annoying that this is basically its default action that I have to constantly try to avoid.
