hear me out
replace single player ai rejects with dogs

Arbitrator shotgun is S-tier. Literally one of the best weapons in the game.
Shock Maul and Shield is S-tier using the exploit, or a very solid A-tier without it.
The Shield and Shotpistol is not particularly good, but it is useable and flavorful. I'm giving it C-tier.
The one-handed mauls are also useable. C-tier.

None of the weapon buffs they gave out this patch to shotguns, axes, mauls, or any of the rest did anything to move them all out of C or D-tier.

>>528611637
>Shock Maul and Shield is S-tier using the exploit
There's an exploit for the shield?

>>528609954
I'm off to wageslaving but it was something trivial like damage to electrocuted and generic +str on hit or something
It's not like arbites lack damage, remember it was heresy, just h1 -> l2 into a horde, special to open bulwarks and stun crushers, break the line if special is on cd, and light attack spam fat targets
I didn't even bother using blitz

so the mark talent is basically free piss vision, purple vision? grape vision?

>>528612732
>I'm off to wageslaving
but it’s two in the morning
are you a night cuck

What's the ability for Arbites that has the Mauler voice yell I AM THE LEX?

>>528611637
>Shock Maul and Shield is S-tier using the exploit
what is it?

>>528611637
Duckbill variant is pretty good for horde clear but not that great for specialists, I imagine it's gonna get worse on auric and higher
And we all know you don't spend ammo for horde clear in this game
The one with longer barrel is pretty bad
Shock maul and shield is S tier but what's the exploit? Maybe I do it without realizing
Shield and pistol is very good for specialists, but ammo efficiency isn't great

So now that the dust has settled, what does the current ranking of all the classes look like? Where does Arbites stand?

>>528612793
No I'm a slav

>>528613145
>Where does Arbites stand?
SSS tier until they nerf them in a week once everyone has bought it

>>528613145
the dust has NOT settled

>>528613145
Arbitrator>ogryn>zealot>psyker>veteran
I would still take a veteran over psyker in a team because psyker is glasscannon and glasscannons can lose runs

>Roll a perfect stat distribution
>Start upgrading it
>Suddenly stats change into 61% and 79%
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>528613354
it do be like that sometimes

>>528613354
Wasn't that something they """fixed""" last year?

>>528613354
>110 powerlevel
your lucky i upgraded a couple weapons only for it to do that once i got it to 400 powerlevel wasted resources

>>528613145
We're still figuring that out. I can at least confidently say he's viable in havoc, but a little low on damage with the builds I've had in my groups. Smite mine is obviously meta. Speaker is... kinda mid but nice.

>>528611637
>The one-handed mauls are also useable. C-tier.
the old ones or the new one? the new one is fucking broken if you understand how the special works, free stun and 200 or so damage over time electrocute in addition to your normal damage

>>528613145
below ogryn (no shit) but above everyone else

https://youtu.be/gIX1qct8_dU

hope they do another one of these VA recording sessions for arbitrator. i want to know how permanently FUCKED the male maul's voice actor is for obliterating his vocal cords just to do the role

>>528612780
basically feels like cheating

>>528613354
I seriously doubt the difference between 79/80 is even one shell dude relax

>>528614879
FUCK YOU!

>>528614879
you wouldn't get it

>>528614879
Yeah well I seriously doubt you're going to survive the brutal skull rape I'm about to do to you if you don't shut your fucking mouth you fucking nigger cunt

>>528614879
but it do!

What's the dump stat on maul and shield? Defences?

>>528615086
i opted for output. doesnt seem to be that big of a difference, but defences makes your stam economy a lot better, not just for blocking but sprinting and dodging too

I don't like any of Arbi's abilities.

blib blob blab robot sectors

so did they nerf dueling sword or plasma this patch?

now that the dust has settled, which personality won?

>>528615752
No. They probably aren't going to nerf either for a while given the massive amount of anger that the changes created from the translated Chinese patch notes. I am guessing they'll kick the can down the road on those so as not to fuck with the playercount for as long as possible (why make a bunch of people mad when this is the highest their concurrent players have been since launch?) They also probably need to do some bug fixing/tweaking from shit that was introduced this patch.

>>528615770
maul is the only one i really like. there's some weird audio mixing issues with all of the fatalist lines

>>528615770
Male Maul
On the other hand I've heard almost nobody using the grimdark Jackie Chan voice

>>528613145
I don’t know. I’m kind of just playing

>>528615752
No.

>>528613145
I do not understand the relevance of this kote.

>Already level 30
>still working on grinding damnations so I can play Auric

>>528616734
wish we had heavy asian accent for female that'd be funny

>>528615770
Tried the female fatalist one and it just sounds weird. Doesn't sound anything like the voice sample you get in the character creator.
So I changed to female Maul and honestly I don't think I can tell a difference.

I have played bunch of missions and I think the voices sound too similiar to one another. Like all the VAs are trying to do the same thing voice wise, I don't know how else to explain it.
I still think the 4 original reject classes have much better voice acting because they all sound distinct and you can instantly tell which personality/character it is.

>>528599263
>>528600327
>>528601202
Almost complete silence from the developers and a glaring lack of content sounds like dying to me
At one point Vermintide 2 had more players than Darktide

>>528616997
femaul keeps talking about block fodder it's so annoying

>>528616895
The new difficulty progression change was a fucking mistake. In general the entire mission board is a fucking mistake.
Aurics are completely fucked. Played those with my ogryn and they feel absolutely piss easy. At least in regular auric I got trappered or dogged few times just due to sheer amount of fucking spawns.
This new auric just feels like Damnation unironically.

>>528614250
This is the first time I’ve seen VAs so animated while doing their lines. Did not expect to see some of them with plastic guns

>>528615770
meh too early to tell, I need to get used to the new voices, I like my male fatalist, kayex is my boy

>>528616993
Sex with dragon empress

>>528616997
I'm not really feeling any of the voices so far. I picked male fatalist because the Chinese dude is too autistic and the Maul sounds like the Cadian vet with stage 4 throat cancer. He's OK when he shouts during abilities but he seems too timid overall.

>>528617489

>>528617575
She doesn't really sound asian.

>>528615770
I settled for kerillian since her delivery was the better out of the female options, but the arbitrator personalities as far as writing goes is pretty damn stale and boring
muh lex every other line got old real fast

Does Maul actually say millions must die? When does it happen? Need to know if I should swap.

there are 17 missions in campaign and fuck it's not worth it

>>528617862
one of the things I know obese fish will fix apart from anything else they are constantly adding new voice lines even for older chars

>>528617862
which one is kerillian ?

>>528618383
Authoritarian, iirc.

>>528618383
maul

>>528618383
Maul
>>528618348
God I hope so, I literally can not tell the personalities apart at times with how indistinguishable the writing is between the three

>>528611637
which mark of the shock maul and shield should one be using?

>>528618245
It's 17 missions you've done before.
To imagine that this is one of our 4 MAJOR" updates is fucking grim.

russian lady is distinguishable because of how bad it sounds lmfao

it's all one big clique really, once you make it big you're in everything

>>528619454
reddit will remember that

>>528619454
>left cupcake behind
Deserved

>>528616997
I think that part of the problem there is that they're all ultimately doing "hardass copper", just slightly different flavours. Even the zealots feel like they've been branched out a bit more.
That said, maybe as they move up the levels and meet more classes, maybe we'll get some better variations. I've already heard one or two decent jibes at my baby seer (who I'll admit I rolled specifically to fish for interactions, because I thought that character type would really piss off the scuffers).

good, now perish

Does party banter increase when you finish the story missions? It's so silent apart from the mission objective lines by the mourning star crew.

>>528618590
I think most people will gravitate towards the Mk XI. It's got a versatile moveset even if the horde clear is a bit annoying since your only cleaving horizontal attacks are L1, L2, then H1, but your single target is piss-easy, you just spam H2 > H3 over and over. Also, avoid like the plague if you hate uppercut attacks because its got three of 'em.

I personally prefer the Mk VI because its L3 is a shield stab, and I love having shield bashes/slams in light attack strings. It's also a more light-attack focused weapon overall. Horde clear loops with H1 > L1, and you can mix in the Block attack as well since it's a relentless horizontal, and it leads into the aforementioned loop with an L1. For single target, just spam light attacks until you stab with your shield (L3), then follow up with a heavy attack (H2). You can also loop H2 (Mace overhead) > L3 (Shield Stab)

Flak > Maniac = Unyielding (If monstrosity hunter)
High Voltage > Confident Strike > Opportunist > Hammerblow > Offensive Defense

How do I make the shock maul + shield not suck? I saw someone make a thread on the forums about how this + Castigator is completely broken, with Lone Wolf. But I am not seeing anything really remarkable from the shield itself. Is it a desire to double dip with a weaker version of Break the Line? If that's the case though, I'm not sure how to make it effective against Crushers and Monstrosities.

fellas ngl that zealot set is kino

>>528621730
you wont buy it

how to build shield maul and shotgun?

>several steam reviews claim fartshart promised the new class would be free
I can't find evidence of this and don't remember any such thing being stated around launch. Don't get me wrong Swedes should be banned from game development forever and it's 75% Fartshart's fault (25% overkill's) but at no point did I think the Arbites wouldn't be paid DLC.

>>528622349
very early after darktide released they said they wanted to release a new class every quarter that was BEFORE the skill tree rework, after the rework they put 3 archetypes in the tree itself those were the "older" classes promised

This ogryn is kind of small...

>>528622451
Promising they will release classes on a schedule is not the same as promising to release them for free. They could've well charged us for the quarterly classes if they were competent enough to do it.

They really made the dog a cruise missile huh?

>>528619770
>I think that part of the problem there is that they're all ultimately doing "hardass copper", just slightly different flavours
That's it. You said it well. That's why I find the personalities kinda meh.
I picked Fatalist originally because I wanted a "realist" cop character. Like they uphold the law despite knowing the said law is corrupt as fuck.
But the character doesn't much different from the Authoritarian or Maul.

>>528623141
I was worried the dog was gonna be shit, but I've been pleasantly surprised. Killing power is a little low but the fact that they don't get in the way at all, react relatively fast to tags, and basically keep whatever enemy you sic them on perma-stunned until they either die or you cave their skull in is bretty gud.
Kinda makes me sad that the obvious meta is gonna be Lone Wolf with zap mines.

>>528623512
fuck the meta I like how he can devour snipers or bombers

a big non issue but the lack of tits is maddening in darktide I dont need full Double D's but not even a hint of anything under the clothes is silly I was thinking of getting the zealot shop item but the female option just turns into a tabletop with it on.

>>528623693
sexo not allowed, sorry bro, not even tasteful sexo

The shock mine thing seems kinda underwhelming, only getting two kinda sucks as well. I think three would be nice.

>>528623693
>>528623805
literally all sexo is disgusting. get the fuck out of my video games you fucking coomer degenerates holy shit flat justice btw

>>528624086
pedo

>>528623937
Shock mine buys a heinous amount of space in havoc, which in turn makes dogless very good for regenerating it. Currently climbing havocs again (36 atm) with a cop in the party, and it helped a ton with flamer & staff when extremely dense hordes start pushing us. Turns out the shield + mace is also very good overall, shit seems power crept to hell. Cuckspeaker is also pretty useful for regenerating back into gold toughness.
Dog is fucking broken in lower difficulties, but it feels like the class is well-balanced overall for the higher difficulties. Unsure about dog in havoc, haven't played with a dog there yet.

How do you make shield pistol work?

>>528624219
speedloader and fire frenzy

>>528623805
It's a fucking shame

>>528624127
>wanting your waifu to have to fight people while dealing with huge fucking tits getting in the way
nigger they're not practical

>>528624191
Oh that makes sense. I'm still levelling up so I haven't gotten there yet. Mainly been fucking around with various things as I get my way to 30. Liking the remote detonation thing a lot. Still a bit mixed on the new weapons though I'll get a better idea once I'm doing actually hard stuff.

>>528624256
soa nnoying the light special uses stam

>>528621365
yeah now that you listed the blessings I remembered
I used high voltage + opportunist on mk6

>>528624527
150 blue and 200 red means you can run lmao3stam curios. pair that with max stam regen you really shouldnt have any issues with it

>>528624597
i passed on the toughness talents in the early tree myself

>>528624608
fair

>>528624690
like there's anything better to take

>>528624838
block talents

How do I stop doing the "story" again?

>>528622630
it was said the cash shop would pay for content.

>>528625385
Go see the guy that lets you change your appearance.

>>528625532
Ah okay I thought it would have been a separate menu, nope, I had to pick the backstory all over again.

seems like the high voltage blessing is the meta

>>528625856
Obviously, it's 25% free damage all the time.

The Arbitrator class is cool as fuck. Fighting through hordes of Chaos followers as a squad of 4 hardass Arbites is a fantasy video game I never thought would exist but does.

i was trying a fury of the faithful and martyrdom knife build for maximum stabbing build. its not very at all good

met a fellow vermintide giga chad in an auric tho

>>528617137
Auric is supposed to be getting another update or something

>>528626216
sponsored post

Reaching level 30 for psyker soon, orgyn or zealot next? Also is it just me or is lex absolutely broken at killing things? Can't even do a single brain rupture before they somehow instakill biggies.

>>528626485
Someone can't be positive about something huh. I just love Warhammer. Fuck you.

>>528616997
>Tried the female fatalist one and it just sounds weird. Doesn't sound anything like the voice sample you get in the character creator.

Either FS included a take from a different actor by accident or she is one of those VAs that defaults to their normal voice when yelling (not that i complain, i liked her hysterical yelling in insurgency and this is pretty much that but with "le Lex" instead of arab peppered in)

>>528617045
Its how Fatshark operates. They're notoriously awful at transparency and prone to going radio silent for months up to a year only to come out with a console port or new game and start updating again until the cycle hits once more.

They really should let people skip the new Campaign at any time, instead of locking them into their choice. I bet most people didn't think it would lock them at lower difficulties and be so long

>>528626567
it's just the wording of the post, lol. No offense

>>528626216
I'm kinda new to Fatshark games, can we expect new weapons for DLC classes?

If yes, what is there left to include for arbitres? That pistol looks new, but i guess it's just a revolver. I'm struggling to imagine any new weapon type, all of the "cop" weapons seem to be covered. Maybe some kind of ballistic pistol, but between autopistol and revolver in terms of stopping power? Some kind of autoshotgun?

Oh you want to change your loadout? too bad, I crashed teehee.

>>528626921
For Arbite? would be neat to have a sniper, snipershotgun, electro flail, grenade launchers and typical power weapons

>>528626921
>can we expect new weapons for DLC classes?
sure
eventually

how difficult is it to get the cool havoc armor, and do i have to do it for each class?

>>528627003
>come back to the game
>2 crashes in 5 games
Is this average?

Should I hit 30 before starting Damnation?

>>528627338
Very difficult now, since Havoc is dead.
You need 50 wins. It does however unlock for every class apart from the Arbites it seems.

>>528627346
Probably. Don't come into aurics until you learn a bit, you'll probably be dead weight.

>>528626856
Oh well nevermind then. I get no money for this. If anything I keep fucking GW employed with all the money I give them. Fatshark though can fuck off. Not that I haven't spent money on this game but I have like 600 hours in it so whatever. Worth the price in entertainment.

>>528627748
cattle post

>>528627842
My fursona is a sheep.

>>528626543
A lot of stagger + a lot of extra damage to staggered enemies does it

They need to fix the fact that sprinting cancels crusher (weapon) attacks, increase its carapace damage and change the fact that getting staggered resets its combo

>>528627338
easy. Just play it for a few weeks. And you unlock it for all characters

not a fan of this new "play many damnation games to unlock auric" system
at least I won't have to deal with it anymore

>>528623693
Yeah, it sucks.
I hate that practically all the cosmetics basically give all female characters a masectomy when they wear something.
But thankfully more and more recent games have started to go back adding attractive and good looking female characters into the games. Maybe in few more years we'll get a 'Tide game with decent character designs.

>>528627540
I have played before, so I am not completely new. Did a few Aurics as a shout Veteran, just taking the rear-guard role watching our backs and sniping Elites while topping people off all the time. But that was almost 6 months ago I think. But I guess I'll hit 30 before Damnation on my arbites just so I don't drag everyone down with me if I fuck up

>>528628464
It's not such a bad thing. Many people come and think they're super good despite being obvious newfags, can get annoying. i'd rather get less retards who cry and scream because I'm not respecting their weird demands (maybe I just got unlucky on matches)

>>528628596
Shout vet is actually great support and you don't seem like some arrogant retard so I welcome you into my aurics

>>528628812
>thinking this will cure dunning kruger
If anything auric will be inundated in newfags who think they must be here because they passed damnation and it's part of the same board now.

>>528628962
I agree but I wouldn't underestimate the amount of people it will turn down, just mathematically. But yeah they'll think they "passed" the ebin test. btw the new board is so ugly

personally i only play aurics whenever im feeling masochistic

>>528627346
No I unlocked damnation at 24 or 25
No reason to not grind it as soon as you unlock it, because you will have to do it anyway to unlock aurics
Arbites are giga op and every lobby has at least 3 of them, you should be fine

>>528628812
I think the old system of unlocking difficulties was fine.
I don't think this new system will fix anything at all anyway, since you can just brute force it. As long as you get enough mission clears on a certain difficulty, it then opens the next one.

I don't mind the new system, since, you know, it won't fucking matter anymore as soon as you hit aurics, it is a very """cinematic""" experience though if you are normally only playing aurics and above

>>528629575
yea but it sucks spending 2 days with zero difficulty before finding any semblance of challenge, that's all

>>528613340
which usually makes psyker players play better
my vets always run out of ammo and they dont do anything anymore

I can't get the zealot warhammer working. It needs to be like just 5% faster, and have the easiest talent dot for heavy uninterruptible, and have the ogryn 99.99% damage resist while revving up the heavy.

>>528629374
I think it's still a decent filter and better than before.

Does "on close kill" refer only to ranged weapons? The icon has a ranged weapon but you never know with swedetech

>>528629112
Generic high intensity is the casual sweet spot desu

Give back the cyber eye

How are you guys building the shotpistol?

>>528630427
fire frenzy + deathspitter. i dont play in difficulties where scattershot+manstopper is worthwhile

>>528630307
sorry bro can't do that, look forward to the next slop rotation for your special ARBITES™ cybereye

>>528611287 (OP)
From Auric testing in the meat grinder, and 12% stamina regen on 3 curios, this talent on the shock maul with shield will let you entirely hold a single crusher without ever losing ~20% of your stamina. It also doubles the amount of time you can hold off 3 ragers attacking you at once. Yes, the stagger does afffect crushers.
You need zero block efficiency in your loadout at all to block Daemonhosts indefinitely.
Just thought this was interesting

>>528628932
Thanks anon! Glad to see that someone appreciates it, It felt like a thankless job most of the time.

>>528630139
It's for any kills within 12.5m

>>528630139
it should be all kills within 12 meters

>>528630427
high voltage + full bore, I run dog with shock attacks and it applies to monstrosities, so it makes the shotpistol deal very good boss damage
the +75% cleave from push is triggered from the special attack from the shotpistol and can replace manstopper from footage I have seen (I have not yet tried it in havoc myself, so unsure)

>>528623693
I'd honestly settle for a face or hairstyle that isn't deep fried dogshit myself.

Would I get banned on Darktide if I name my character after a movie nazi
I mean obviously it won't be Superhitler or whatever and it is a real German name but the movie nazi is the first Google result
I just think he's cool

>>528632269

I fucking love this shit. I got into a group of total randos and we were making George Floyd jokes before we were out of the dropship.

I love this game and I love everyone who plays it.

>>528633064
full bore and execution works well

wtf went wrong with the authoritarian and the maul male voices?

>>528633360
>maul male
Nothing, he's perfect.

>>528633360
They're great, Maul sounds like a fucking psychopath and Authoritarian sounds like an asshole cop.

Any low level people want to form a group to speedrun missions as fast as possible? level 10 and people in lower difficulties love to explore the entire map at a walking pace

>>528633610
im currently speedrunning damnation, so no

>>528633360
malemaul is so overkill it's funny
my headcannon is that even in the lore he's trying to sound like a badass

>>528633360
Male maul sounds so fucking terribad in the preview, so I didn't pick him, but he grew on me big time ingame hearing his other voice lines. I might switch from fatalist to him because his banter is so good.

>>528626921
>can we expect new weapons for DLC classes?
next year lol
and in fatshark time that means in half a decade

>>528633064
Fullbore works well for the sniper shotgun.
I put fullbore and death spitter on mine.

>actually good looking psyker cosmetic for once
I don't need the slop, I don't need it....

what blessings on shield?

>really high damage against just about everything (it nukes maniacs)

Shield memes aside, it's an incredible weapon.
Still haven't used the pistol version though because I'm married to my accatran.

>YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING USE!

>>528635235
The special is really amazing. The higher the difficulty the better it is.

>>528635235
>accatran
Is that the W I D E boi?

>>528635749
No, it's the brown one with the dragon's breath. You can get up to +50% monstrosity damage in the cop's skill tree, +25% perk, add a bit of bleed from the shotgun on top, and monstrosities melt in a couple seconds. It's hilarious.
After the buffs, the gun is also ... serviceable? Nothing amazing or anything, but it seems to be just about the best boss deleter arbites have access to, next to the boltgun. And I don't like running circles around burgles just so I can magdump.

>>528635330
I'm now imagining an Arbite on xbox getting pissed at some fag making fun of his loadout

>>528635536
>t. slaaneshi daemon
we're wise to your ways

Did the game get easier or is it me?
Played both the trials and few Auric levels and enemies did no dmg.
Like the new trials spawned a loot of monstrocities, but they died in half a second anyway so who cares.

>>528635915
Is there some sort of trick to the fire damage? It seems to only tick for like 20-30 damage for me

>>528636108
it scales exponentially with burn stacks. Just make sure it's maxed out

I genuinely don't understand the moveset of the mk11 riot shield.

>>528636108
Yeah, run full bore and immediately load a second incendiary shell and hit all of those projectiles too. You get max stacks after 2 specials. Bonus points if you get lucky with crits and bleed blessing, but I'm not 100% sure whether it's truly the best blessing on it.

>>528636043
you in 5 years

wtf? Bars can change with marks?

>>528633064
first is for horde clear, second is just bad

>>528636223
see >>528621365

Basically, it's meant as a vessel for the gimmick block-heavy playstyle using the appropriate talents and blessings. Both the H1 and L1>L2 come out very fast and with minimal windup, and have a negative penalty on block frames, meaning you can block more quickly during any of those attacks

>>528636223
you don't have to, just use mk6 like everyone else does

>>528636329
>6 tits
Nice.

>>528636373
It's a rounding error. Your gun might actually have 60.4% but some weird stuff happens with the rounding between different marks. Fatshark can't code.
Full 80 and a single 61% actually means you probably have 79.74 in two stats and a 60.52, for instance.

>>528636515
Cursed knowledge. Now I can never be sure I actually have a perfect weapon

>>528636693
If the weapon starts out close to 0 in its dump stat and high values in stats you care about while it's gray, and gets to full 80 by 480 or so, it will be as perfect as it gets.
It's also virtually irrelevant to autism over, only very few weapons have god rolls that actually matter (such as pre-nerf plasma wanting as close to 70/70 thermal and charge rate as you can get).

>>528636693
You just learn to not worry about it.

>>528618245
It's a better introduction for new players and it's far better than I AM A WARRIOR.

Remember to always thank your stealth zealots for getting you up off the ground!

>>528637009
but non arbitay new players still are warriors I think

>>528637009
>it's far better than I AM A WARRIOR.

>>528637693

>>528637908
FOR MASOZI!

>>528626921
Arbeetus has most of their exclusive weapons already since they're a niche faction, the only thing left is their Dominator Power Maul and Executioner sniper shotgun. Their other possible weapons are heavy weapons shared with other factions like grenade launchers and heavy stubbers (40k term for heavy machinegun) which are potentially available to veteran, and meltagun (short ranged anti armor raygun) potentially available to zealot.
The Malocator is holding a bio-sample extractor, which is an evidence gathering tool and not actually a weapon.

They never fucking learn with penances do they? some of these numbers are way too high, and even the ones that aren't are designed to make you hate your teammates, oh sure let me sic my dog on 50 snipers, if 50 snipers can live long enough for my dog to get to them with three guys who don't give a shit about my penances in the group.

Why does it feel like I'm getting shot up by gunners a lot more

sex with fatalist I can fix her and make her happy
t. her dog

>>528638138
Or you could just largely ignore penances except ones that are largely inorganic or force you to use shit you don't like.
I ran nuncio aquila while grinding out difficulties and just placed it whenever the team was together or there was a large enough horde. I'm probably never, ever going to use it ever again now that I got the penances.
>pounce 50 bombers, snipers and trappers
That shit is easy and I think I got mine without even paying attention to it. You're just bad, retarded, or bought the class despite not liking the dog, which I guess is the same as calling you retarded.

>>528638138
I'm at 20/50 without even trying. Now staggering 50 monstrosities with remote detonation? I have been trying to get that out of the way since unlocking the option and I'm at 29/50. There must be an internal cooldown to it, ie the monster must fully recover, but now everyone is running the blitz and it's a clusterfuck of 4 arbites spamming dogsplosions where you're lucky to even get 1 stagger off before it dies because you're all fully kitted out level 30s trapped in damnation.

Cadia?
More like CACAdia!

Damnation feels like Malice now

>>528637336
Dunno. Wasn't it a full rehash of the leveling campaign?

>>528638718
that cutscene is before you start leveling

>>528635536
No I won't, reprobate. 40,000 years in the cubes. Day of the Baton soon.

>>528638470
You get my point though, it's like they design the fucking things in a vacuum where they don't expect there to be three other assholes.
I'm not enjoying being forced to use these electrical mines in a really ass backwards way where I just throw them out whenever I have them to run up this 5000 second counter.

This new mission terminal is shite, also why haven't I unlocked aurics?

>>528639036
Stay out of my auri- oh wait, you can't even get in! Lol!

>>528639036
You have not been allowed into my aurics yet.

>>528639156
Not like I don't have thousands of hours in this game in aurics already or anything.

>>528639202
Talk to me once you've proved you can carry damnationshitters.

>>528638479
give me a new joke

The new shotgun feels like sex when you find a massive group of gunners or ragers in a corridor. Shame it probably won’t hole up in nu havok 40s because of the carapace and monster spam

>>528637009
I legitimately liked that scene honestly, it gave the impression of a society so brainwashed that you could just get a bunch of random people and turn them into fascist death squads in 15 minutes by having someone with a rosette inform them that it's their job to kill the enemies of God now.

The Maul Twins, though Male is better. That guy sounds like he smokes six packs of camels a day. I imagine him ordering at a drive-through so loudly the customers ordering inside can hear it and wince.

Anyone had a graphical glitch on the Arby’s armor, where the red glow sometimes turns into a flat square texture across the body?

>>528641237

Whats your fun arbites weapon setup bros? The shotgun has been great so far so I've not tried anything else yet

>>528642273
>Teammate starts screaming REVIVE ME YOU IDIOTS as the cherry on top

dog vs elite or dog vs ranged? no I'm not taking lone wolf that's fucking cringe

>>528642494
I tend to skip it and go for either cleave or impact

>>528642494
vs elite/specialist I guess. doesn't make much of a difference.

Forceful is amazing, but at the same time having every special and elite in the room marked and getting good buffs for killing any of them is so comfy, it’s a very hard choice but i’m leaning to the marking targets one because the crit and weak spot damage node before it seem like must picks.

All the fucking run off somewhere don't do objective niggers are back. Have to wait for EU night and midday hours.

>>528642494
Both seem good but sometimes i’ve noticed the dog will be far too passive if their preferred target isn’t around, so if you have elites and you’re pinned down by a bunch of gunners it’ll just patrol around you and vice versa. The elites and specials one also causes it to seek out bursters which I really don’t like. Seems like the dog is great without either so you could just save the point

wish the shotgun pistol was separate from the shield

>>528642494
I personally would skip it but I'm currently doing dog pounce penances so I have it set to elites for the time being.
I feel the dog is more about pinning the enemies than actually killing them.

>>528641731
>hear voice acting
>think about ordering hamburgers
american post

>>528642702
multiple players having marked target confuse me, it seems every talent owner can see the marked ennemies

>>528622196

>>528641107
If you had faith, you would not need armor, heretic.

>>528642494
Depends on how the damage stacking works, but I don't care enough to spend that 1 point to test whether it even fucking matters. I just sic my dog on COPVISION'd targets for +150% damage. If you want damage on the dog, take voltaic mandibles (above the dog aura), it's what actually makes the dog a threat.
I tag everything I see out of habit, and have dog command on single tag, so I don't give a fuck about manipulating its AI, and the damage is useless to me.

>>528642706
Did you not see the player numbers? 80% of the people you’re playing with don’t even know how to do the objectives now, it’s cute watching them try and backing them up. They’ll probably go back to slop divers soon because you can’t just input the konami code to wipe the screen

>>528642923
wouldn't hurt. It's pretty neat.

>>528642203
they should add some assassinorum guy in some shape or form, maybe one that failed to complete "training" or failed to be retrieved/destructed, though I think you are probably right, admech seems more likely to come next than anything else.

>>528642973
POORFAG BTFO I KNEEL

>>528642967
Are you sure? The tag isn’t like psykers where it will only mark a single target and mark a new one when it dies, it will just constant make new targets every half second or so if the fight is a big one and it’s taking awhile eventually everything in the room is going to be marked

>Summer 2025
>Tide game
>No one is doing the objectives

>>528643181
ah ok maybe it's this, I don't really know since all I see are arbites

>>528643168
An assassin would be cool, give them elf tier mobility and dual power weapons. Ad mech seems more likely though since fans of them are super vocal

Is it me or female Arbitrators have a STRONG lesbian vibe?

>>528643020
It is 40k anon, more faith means more armor in almost every example.

>>528643259
Yeah I was sceptical about it because I hate the feeling of fighting for a particular kill to get buffs, but you can just play normally since so much will be marked in the fights that matter.

It wouldn't let me name my dog "Duchess" for whatever reason.
Went with Princess.

Post genestealer elites/specials that would fit in darktide.

>>528643032
>don’t even know how to do the objectives
It's difficulty 4 and level 30's

Thoughts on sir kruber bash? It seems good but way less effective than the old kruber bash, feels too narrow so if there’s enough crushers ect you can actually bash your way into being surrounded

>>528643578
yeah it's very narrow, doesn't go far and some ennemies like the bosses barely seem to register it

>castigators doesn’t have a node that gives you more time for each elite kill during it
How did they not think of that? It would have been cold as fuck. The first upgrade is okay, but the other two are so fucking bad they may as well not exist.

>>528643578
Extremely useful.
>staggers mutants out of their charge
>lets you run through flames (might need the 7.5m node)
>knocks even crushers on their ass
>has a stupidly short cooldown that can be made even shorter, especially with execution order
>yellow stimm lets you do it every 2-3 seconds lol
Don't forget that it gives you +25% damage and +50% impact for 6s. Your only real alternative for a melee focused build is cuckspeaker, and you won't catch me using that outside of havoc.

>>528643710
It not working against bosses actually has me considering just using castigators stance with none of the upgrades to save points since they’re pretty bad, this class has not problems with CC against non boss enemies. It’s bosses it needs help with

>>528643364
can you rephrase that question, it's hard to understand with english like that

>>528643964
guess she means the dialogues or the tones are fruity
>>528643939
I go flame shotgun for bosses alongside the marking target stacks

>>528643964
Maybe you should go back to school then?

What for the second blessing on the shield? I was using confident strike just for extra security with shitter stacks but I'm feeling safe enough to swap. Opportunist would probably be ideal but I was thinking High Voltage at least while I'm leveling since I'm still not fighting CRUSHER patrols

>>528643814
Cuck speaker just looks genuinely useless, the ranged buffs are nothing, the toughness regen is okayish and so is the dr. But in situations where you would want it a psyker bubble is just a world apart. Really don’t know what they were thinking with it, it’s suppression radius is also pathetic so you vent even send it into gunner blobs to shut them down.

>hestia and melk are happy to see arbites
>hadron isn't
I guess Melk just likes professionalism, by all means he should be upset to see cops walking around, poking their nose in his shit. I wonder what Hadron's happy to see you lines are like. Admech will know.

>>528644091
doesn't it have hammerblow? Counterattack could be good if you parry a lot but the timing is so weird with their shitty servers

>>528643364
No? That's your porn addled brain.

>>528643364
>chick cops are lesbians
are you just now discovering this?

>>528643168
If they deployed an assassin, Wolfer and Admonition's leaders would be fucking dead halfway into the story because they are on par with Space Marines in power level, and failed assassins are more likely dead or servitorized from their brutal training.
More mundane Death Cult assassins are already filled in by stealth ziggers.

>>528643964
How was your day at the sweatshop, Pajeet?

>>528644186
I said second blessing, obviously I'm using Hammerblow. And I've never tried to use or learn parries after 3,000 hours of VT and DT.

>>528644145
It's crazy how small the radius of a literal loudspeaker is. A floating loudspeaker that's perfectly stationary. Without even getting into balance it fails all expectations.

>>528644371
then use voltage you wanker

>>528643560

>>528644413
When I first heard about it I imagined an arena wide type deal. Seems like they had a cool idea and it had everything interesting or fun about it balanced out, the class pretty much just has two abilities because it’s so shit.

>>528644606
Psyker enemies would be cool to see.

oh no i'm getting lost in the class penance sauce again

>>528644145
It's deceptively useful, but only if you actually stick together and have large enough hordes to where the duration actually matters. It grants a lot of useful small bonuses, and the toughness regeneration can bring you back into gold.
Yes, it's no bubble, but the main reason you bring psyker is warpfire + psykinetic aura. You only really need bubble in modifiers that spam an obscene amount of bombers. Some of my most successful havoc runs were entirely without bubble.

Cuckspeaker is also literally useless in auric and below where everyone runs around doing their own thing, and you have anywhere from 1-3 complete retards whom you could swear make an active effort to avoid the area.

>>528643468
Best dog name I've seen so far is hand banana

I named my dog Fluffy!

>>528644791
No I think it’s genuinely useless, if you use it in havok it becomes a suicide pact aoe. The biggest cope possible for it is a shock mine buffer, throw a shock mine down and now all the enemies in it take a bit more damage. The cool down is also close to the regen for dogless shock mines kek. Some faggot youtuber definitely had a devs ear on this one I can just feel the lack or creativity and balance concern all throughout it

>>528611637
>C-Tier
the Arbites Shock Maul is genuinely OP as shit, though

>>528645207
It’s insanely strong but it’s boss damage feels a bit shit, but that just seems to be a theme of the class for some strange reason.

>only two new melee weapons and two new ranged weapons on Arbys
I'm getting bored already. Anybody mess around with the Eviscerator or Tac Axes since the buffs? How they feeling?

>>528645175
>if you use it in havok it becomes a suicide pact aoe
Not if you're actually able to hold the line and stagger and/or kill enemies fast enough to where they can't kill you inside of it. The "biggest cope possible for it" is a zealot that actually does their fucking job and builds into enough cooldown reduction for relic to be actually relevant, but most zealot players are completely retarded.

>>528611287 (OP)
Where can I see my character backstory?

>>528645359
That's why you use the fire shotgun
On that note, why the fuck are people saying the Brittleness Executor Shotgun is bad?

>>528645359
Accatran pump shotgun with execution order and the +20% node singlehandedly hard carries boss damage to a disgusting degree. Melee build btw.

>>528645393
We’ll see in a couple of weeks I guess, I don’t think anyone is going to use it besides contrarians. Hands down worst aoe ability in the game with somehow one of the longest cooldowns

>>528645359
>it’s boss damage feels a bit shit
Build issue. Get relentless strikes. It hits really hard once the stacks are up.

>>528645468

>>528645489
>>528645571
I will not be using the dog shit sounding old shotguns when the new ones are kino, i’m simply going to let the zealot and orgyn rape the bosses to death while I bonk them with the debuff stick.

>>528631992
thats also a issue
>hairstyle that isn't deep fried dogshit
These leaked January two years ago and haven't been seen yet the background makes me think these were suppose to be shop slop items if they were suppose to be full hair DLC or a head slot item who knows but makes me think they plan to release hair dlc in the future at best its hair packs that gets added to the hairstyle list at worse its individual head slot pieces

>>528645735
>I'm simply going to let myself get carried
Stay out of my aurics

Will they add new arbites exclusive weapons much later down the line? Will they charge for them? Where the fuck is dominator maul? Where the fuck is executioner shotgun?

The only cope I have is that they're planning some Moebian Steel update where they finally release reds and a bunch of new weapons, and that they set aside veterans "new weapons this year!" and Arbites' actual kit for that.

>>528645489
Tiny mag size with a tight spread, meaning it's a worse stub revolver.

>>528645812
Yeah but the stub revolver isnt a shotgun

>>528645785
Oh I wasn’t talking about regular damnation health bosses lmao, they die to anything

>>528645806
we'll get free arbites weapons in 2028

>>528645758
Holy shit guys just put out a face and hair pack, people would pay good money to not look so fucking ass.

>>528645758
those would've come with the canceled hive ganger class that they realized would make everyone hate them if they actually released it first (conjecture, lies)

NONCEYO AQUILA OUT

>>528645891
So havoc then? Why the fuck are you using the meme shotgun in havoc? Bolter or you aren't joining my h40.

>>528645982
ATTENTION, BLOCK FODDER

>>528644413
Should have made it an AoE that is attached to your character

>>528645982
that's a radio right? can't wait for people to mod some funny soundbytes for it lol

>>528645926
I feel shame in myself because I would support this.

>>528646046
New shotguns really nice in havok, the cleave and damage let’s you clear mixed waves with a few shots. Only weakness is crushers, long range, and bosses.

Heresy Maelstrom is Monstrosities, come and get your dog detonation penance!

>>528644413
>>528646112
I've exclusively been using it so far, once i have my 2.5k enemies debuffed i'll drop it immediately
which btw takes years because
>allies just keep pushing forward through the horde and move the kill line away from it
>cant move the floating voxshit
yay

>>528646368
Yeah, they do a couple things the bolter does, worse, while missing the things it's important for.

>>528646479
why yes I sit on 3 charges all game just to spam them on monstrocity, so?

>play veteran
>people keep taking ammo from you despite them being full ammo
Why is this game so gay?

>>528646878
Isn't it one per monstrosity for the penance?

>>528646950
gotta be sure lexmate

>>528646947
game is fine
players are gay
Some players take ALL the ammo
but also
Some players take ZERO ammo. They'll run right past ammo, I mark it, they ignore it. Then once they're out of ammo they start complaining. It's a new flavor of retard I haven't seen before.

>>528644080
No need to lash out just because you can't form english sentences, I'm esl too so it makes it hard to understand

>>528646748
They clear mixed waves up to flak armour far more ammo efficiency than the bolter, bolter is also amazing on arbites but you don’t want too many bolters on a team because it’s so ammo hungry. New shotgun is great

>>528647470
>up to flak
So literally everything that isn't your job, because you should have 1-2 players with flamethrowers/staffs, got it.

>>528646947
Why this game is so gay*

Am I missing something or is the middle keystone just a complete mess? The other two seem great but the middle one, man what was the idea behind it?

>>528647765
>Am I missing something
Really fat-cocked reload speed, pretty beefy toughness support aura.

>>528647765
>lets make players keep track of gay buffs, micromanaging stat bonuses
>but keep the ui utter dogshit that doesnt faciliate tracking buffs at all
>theres also a bug that makes buffs not show up on the buff bar
cool

>>528646558
>allies just keep pushing forward through the horde and move the kill line away from it
something that should have been caught in the play test. there are so many ways around this to not make it feel like dogshit to use.
>can reposition after X amount of time
>can have two anchor points. you and the speaker and have your personal aoe circle be smaller and not as effective
etc
theyre so fucking incompetent

>>528647740
I look forward to future buffs on it then

>>528647970
playtesters have the issue of all testing on voice together, disregarding that 99% of games arent that way
They can just go
>noncio down hang back
>dog is getting the sniper dw
>lemme get my marks here
so the skills seem well designed

In pugs instead what happens is
>nuncio down but oops theres no real callout for it so now its behind the team and nobody noticed
>ping that distant sniper to send the dog after it... oops your ally thought the sniper needs to get shot and does it right before the dog leaps it
>oh shit, 10 gunners! *magdumps ur marks denying you buffs*

Just bad playtesting principles

I wish weapons scaled to damnation better

>>528647463
nta but the first phrase was fine, he just left out a "do" or "do the" or something along those lines
"is it me or do female etc"
how did you interpret it initially that made it confusing?

>>528648672
gotta mind your breakpoints now

>>528648796
>gotta use half the weaponry
Yes, I wish the other weapons scaled better

>>528648448
Nuncio should have just floated above you, on top of actually doing more because who in the actual fuck cares about 25% less recoil and un interruptible alt fire? Just a floating drone that moves with you, nice big aoe of suppression for charginging gunners, with a smaller aoe of dr, toughness regen, and enemies take more damage. Then for upgrades have one that causes kills on targets in the field in strengthen the damage taken to enemies in the aoe (up to a cap) and the other could be something like giving the drone a little taser shot making it better for holding back huge elite waves. Anything would be better than what it is honestly.

whats the point of gun and shield, when would the shield ever be useful?

>>528649010
funny moveset

I finally got this penance after 800 hours...god it feels good. Now to finish 100 disruption and repair missions and i'll be done.

>>528649010
If you shield bash you can do a really cool sideways shot with the revolver.

>>528645982

>>528648672
I wish they scaled to havok 40 better

>the shield doesn't stay when swapping from maul and shield to pistol and shield or vice versa
disappointed af

>>528648910
like what? What isn't good in damnation?

>>528647970
On the bright side, i got it done just now
Now the next big hurdle is
>3.5k kills with execution order
This is genuinely going to take fucking weeks, i think ill just do that one last, even if i like the capstone itself
time to try Forceful

>>528649234
Let's pretend together

How do we unlock aurics after the new patch? i hit 30 on my 'bites but still no auto unlock.

>>528648448
>>nuncio down but oops theres no real callout for it so now its behind the team and nobody noticed
Just bad players, or bad placement/timing.
>>ping that distant sniper to send the dog after it... oops your ally thought the sniper needs to get shot and does it right before the dog leaps it
The dog was unnecessary then. Use the dog better.
>>oh shit, 10 gunners! *magdumps ur marks denying you buffs*
It's stupid design to have someone not "be able" to kill something. And stupider even to expect people not to shoot at things as a playstyle.

>concussive + skullcrusher making bosses die instantly
this is basically all arbites has? this is the whole reason to bring him to havoc 40?

>>528649590
don't you have to spam the difficulty below to fill the bar?

>>528649457
No i'm serious, every weak weapon has been buffed. Trying to remember something that might suck in damnation.

>>528649240
I got that done in the first day, I thought it would be horrible too but it actually marks more targets while marks are already up. It’ll light an entire room up for you

>>528649593
I think using the mark system as a way to sic your dog on things is kinda stupid, peoples brains instantly open fire on highlighted enemies
and honestly double tapping mark is slightly awkward.

>>528649590
you have to play damnation a few times. There's a bar on your play button that shows the progress

>>528649597
Shock mines on a 60 second cool down. Skull crusher is now going to get nerfed so don’t get used to it, it was probably being looked at because of ogryn but it’s got no chance now.

>>528649706
nta but I barely gained progress in an auric and I was killing everything as soon as they were being marked, feels like it'd take just as long as the matches played penance, those two and forceful are the last two I need

>>528649597
He's putting stuff on the ground, stunlocking half the horde and buffing the Ogryn's DPS

>>528649706
Yeah the problem is just that i've been using the shotguns and not been able to properly snipe enemies with those, while all the other randoms are INCREDIBLY kill hungry
If it counted marked targets killed by cohesion allies it'd be alot more reasonable

>hit level 30
>buy perfect rolls of each weapon in arbites' arsenal and max them all
That felt good. The grind does nothing but weigh tide games down.

>>528649597
we can make similar arguments for other classes
>purgatus + bubble
>shout + grenades
>chorus + more chorus

>>528649010
You're blocking with the shield while aiming, so you can safely approach under fire while removing higher threat targets before swapping to melee. It's pretty memey though.

(you) are on broom duty
go clean all the dog turds around the mission board

>>528650090
that's what the ogryns are for tho

>>528649978
>hyper aggro melee with kruber charge
>heretics drop like flies
Uh, skill issue? Granted I'm also only at 1200/3500 but I've only just hit auric and played a couple games. I've spent too much time playing havoc on my zealot.
I will also for sure keep using execution order because the build I have with it is literally everything I've always wanted out of darktide. I'm happy with my oinker.

>>528649010
I forget the shield exists most of the time
I'm not really a fan of the shot pistol + shield

>>528650182
Remember how i said i was forcing myself to use the shitty skull to get those penances out of the way first?

>>528649921
>>528649978
I was using the shotgun with scatter shot and death spitter, with dog (no dog talents) for long range and the dog nade. It just sort of happened for me, but maps with tight corridors and ect with the new shotguns would shoot my progress up super fast. I wouldn’t sweat it anyway, the keystone seems really good, at the very least tied for best with forceful so it’s not like you need to play something retarded to farm it out like zealots back stab penances.

>>528650090
The dogs don't shit they get fed via goop tube like space marines or servitors.

>>528650307
Understandable.
But you can also just do that, with a melee build. In fact, execution order is extremely optimal here anyway because it gives you cdr, for more penance farming.

>>528650035
The initial grind is too much.
My friends always burn out around malice/heresy because there's no challenge. Just hours and hours of walking through levels. It leaves a very bad first impression. Not to mention the weapon mastery grind.

>>528649794
Yea you're not completely wrong, it was just easier to implement. Had to turn the sound off for team mates. But it's better to have a target outright killed than pounced by a dog either way.

>>528650043
>two main features of the class
>two main features of the class
>one major feature of the class
vs
>one interaction between a single random node and a blessing

>>528650450
Yeah your already pointed at them, it's adding more steps in the "kill them" pipeline, at that point just shoot your fucking gun.

>>528650360
all that goes in, must eventually, come out anon

>>528650090
they very clearly do not have assholes and likely do not even have their bowels, the battery had to go somewhere after all

They're gonna bring back the Arbites Bolt pistol skin, right?
Right?

>>528650839
If they do it will be a different skin that looks similar, I swear they've pulled shit like that before.

>>528650839
I was shocked they didn’t sell the nice enforcer shock maul skin again

>>528650839
*enforcer
I have it
It's beautiful.

>>528650549
you're just playing word games where 1 random ability becomes "main feature" just because it's meta. Whatever, be unhappy about it i guess. Welcome to havoc

>>528650719
Probably got some sort of servitor thing going on where they recycle waste into water

Most of the Arbites penances is doing other penances.

>>528650839
Which one is that? I use the red one with the gold filigree on the side bit like the new bolter.

Is it worth running lone wolf so I can get this voltaic mine shit done faster?

>>528651341
sure, if you value getting the mine shit done faster

>>528649686
NTA but shredder pistol

>>528651373
My to-do list has these ones left at this point.

>>528651761
that got buffed recently too, not to pre powderburn nerf but it did get buffed. I haven't tried it out yet

>>528644091
I was using opportunist and high voltage during leveling
idk what's your first choice

I'm invited to our aurics

>>528644371
but why, it can already stagger crushers without it

>>528652051
the monstrosity one is surprisingly easy to do in mortis trials. There's even a perk that gives you an automatic free one every 10s.
And with 6 monsters spawned it at once it just flies on by

never use the crusher or the shock maul before
which mk is best to use for either?

>>528651130
why are you so defensive about this, it's obviously going to get nerfed and then where will arby's be

>>528649175
You can do that with the bolt pistol, too

>>528646947
Playing veteran does not mean you're entitled to all the ammo on the map.

>>528652864
>shock maul
I prefer mk3 but I'm not sure if it's the best one, single target kinda sucks, but horde clear is more comfortable than agni
>crusher
has no variety

>>528650583
So I guess it would be better if you just had to target something once instead of twice..

Forceful should have +dog damage at max stacks "and 3 seconds after". Execution order being the only dog keystone sucks balls.
Also, did they nerf execution order target acquisition rate during the play test? It feels like they had so many blue targets they could tell where patrols were through walls, but I'm lucky if the gunner patrol we just walked up on has at least 2 different targets to pick from.

your dog exploding penance can be done in snortis aurics as those shit out monsters

>>528653412
also there is autoexplode buff

>>528653412
Thanks, I'll finish it there so I can finally ditch this mutt

>>528651296
At least they're not as gay as zealot penances.

>>528653412
Thanks, let me into snorics right now.

>>528652950
you're just being unreasonably reductive

Diarbeetus is extremely good at holding choke points. I like it.

>this literally took 1 game
Ok time to never use this skill again lol

>>528654340
I'm really not. You're coping. It'll get nerfed.

>>528653412
isn't there like 3 monsters top

>>528654681
sure, right after voice of command and chorus and bubble gets nerfed. Should happen any day now...

>>528654858
in one objective wave I had 2 ogryns spawning ad infinitum

>>528654904
Yeah, sure, it was just a total coincidence that neither of the new shock mauls got skullcrusher. I'm sure they weren't already eyeballing skullcrusher because of some other class mashing m1 and beating his way through everything. Definitely nothing to worry about.

>>528655035
>it was just a total coincidence that neither of the new shock mauls got skullcrusher
switching topics? ok.
The new shock maul didn't get skullcrusher because it has much higher base damage, which would make it ridiculously op.

>>528654858
in wave 10 now I had 6 monsters at same time

>>528655127
They could've been made without that high base damage and had skullcrusher available as a blessing. You're not even trying to think anymore, you just don't want to be wrong.

Takes so fucking long getting out of the diff before auric holy shit

>>528655235
you're the one predicting the future. Good luck with that.

>>528655339
Thanks! I don't really need to be lucky, though. The DS and Plasma nerfs kind of already show that Fatshark wants to undo braindead retarded strategies. Bully club reworks seem obvious right after those.

Arbites is super good in Mortis with Voltaic, crazy upgrades and synergy

Holy shit the embryos has finally made it to aurics. I'm getting exclusively the most useless players you can possibly imagine.
>shooting poxies with the fucking revolver
JESUS

>>528655235
>They could've been made without that high base damage and had skullcrusher available as a blessing
That weapon already exists.
It's the shock maul.
Why make duplicates?
Anyway from what you're saying we can expect nerfs to every single havoc 40 meta ability and blessing?

>>528655667
I'm still stuck in Damn but I watched this dude walk straight into a daemonhost.

>>528656138

mortis perks whatever you get in that mode

>>528626216
Based and true.
>>528626921
Not much. They aren’t like AdMech or something where the potential options would be wide ranging and versatile, there’s already a lot of crossover with their weapons and the others.
>>528632269
You should be good. I hope it’s not the movie I’m thinking of.

>play Mortis
>get 6 penances done in one match
I cannot recommend this enough for people that want to quickly get through the dog and nuncio shit. It's probably more powerful than the other build variations because of the upgrades you can get as well.

>>528623693
Its not a non issue there should be some kind of realism, give it a sliding scale just like how you can decide the height of your character.

What arbeetus melee for killing bosses efficiently? Crusher feels like shit, and while skullcrusher is fucking ridiculous, it assumes you either have a bolter/accatran or teammates with an IQ greater than 70, and I assume I'll have neither.

>>528657992
>play Mortis
Why would you do that

>changing the Mastiff crashes the game

I paid real life money for this skin, and it fucking clips my wrist?
SUIIIIIEEEEEEE

>>528616734
>>528639745
Definitely the biggest disappointment. I wonder. I wonder if theres any chance they can replace it with something else

>>528650839
What are you talking about?
Did they remove a skin or something?

>>528659371
Anon... ALL skins get removed from the shop. And then maybe thwy show up in the future.

>>528659371
No I mean it was a rotating shop item. I passed on it at the time because my main setup had auto reloads so I preferred the revolver. Now it's probably going to be my main Arbites weapon once I'm done with all the penances and I wish I had it.

>>528644606
Where’s the sniper? Those guys are supposedly nearly as good as Vindicares. Would probably be kinda crazy to add them in.

>>528659353
Yeah they're surely going to re-record thousands of lines of dialogue because of a handful of racists. In my experience authoritarian is the 2nd most common male voice, not far behind maul. Fatalist is much rarer.

Ain't no way lil bro. You can reset the "skip or not" question by changing your personality or whatever, I think.

Nobody uses Thunder hammers outside Inquisitors and Space Marines, Arbeetus can also just borrow the assault ram from the Enforcers if they need to smash some doors in and blast whatever's behind it. It would just function like the Grenade Gauntlet with a melee attack leftclick and shooting if you aim.

So what weapons are good for Arbites besides the class unique ones? I don't see a reason to use the baby shock maul or the axes. He has access to quite a number of ranged weapons though. Double Barrel might be good with Castigator stance?

>they finally made cosmetics i want to buy
Someone stop me

>>528672575
ogryn can do that but also wipe the entire screen with 3 grenades, 2 of them he pulled from his asscheeks, while turning all aggro towards himself

>>528672812
shock maul is good, if not one of his best picks

>>528671017

>>528672946
Okay, easy. That's a psyker, no one plays psyker. You're welcome.

>>528673128
I play psyker...
I play zealot more though

>>528672946
Most of the new cosmetics are pretty fucking good. Shame about the zealot outfit since it's just dogshit compared to the veteran one.

>>528672952
>shock maul is good
Sorry I meant I don't see any reason for the tiny mace that vet/zealot have access to. The big boy maul is good but I need more than two weapons to build around.

>>528673306
No, I also mean the little shock maul. Put skullcrusher on it. Take concussive. It's stupid.

How do I unlock the next difficulty?

>>528673259

Bro, what? There's literally a single face that doesn't look like a fucked up mutant goblin.

Is it just me or are the new mission dialogues with Zola and Morrow kinda braindead? Makes them feel Flanderized with all these "Ughh, I know this is literally my first mission with you cannon fodders, but I don't wanna talk about my past fighting and surviving in the ugly underbelly of Torrent" and "Nice job killing that entire batallion of Moebian 6th, but it's not that impressive, back in Armageddon the fighting was MUCH harder!". It's like they were written for americans.

I am not straight, but I wouldn't mind getting prison-raped by Kerillian Arbitrator.

>>528675547
>Lower difficulties are so devoid of hardship that players have no fundamentals.
this and also all the old players leveling arbs and nuking the map before the noobs can even comprehend what happened

>>528677689
Shotgun is good. The melees are all whatever, I don't care much for their movesets.

>>528676740
I'm having way too much fun with the kruber bash.

Ogryn is still the more retarderer

just died instantly to the karnak twins in the campaign on lowest difficulty with bots (one of the bots stayed behind kek)

Gonna skip the campaign now.

If I wanna suppression max, what do I go as veteran? Braced Autogun VIII?

Is it ever explained why the twins are like 9 feet tall?

I have nearly 200 hours on Ogryn in darktide. I made an arbites character recently and actually got to use some of the regular human weaponry like all the shotguns and bolters etc. Why the fuck does the human weaponry seem WAY more killy than the Ogryn weapons? Like I hit stuff and the enemies die. On my Ogryn, I will hit things and enemies go flying but get back up. Like shit was actually dying when I hit them with the batons and shit. It actually felt kind of good. Have I just been missing something about Ogryn or are his weapons just literally not that killy?

>>528672946
That's what every smyker thinks he looks like.

>>528679006
May as well, its pointless. One anon suggested skipping it and I ignored him because what else am I gonna do in darktide right now but try the campaign. It done now and has amounted to precisely jack and shit. They dont even use all of the maps. Matter of fact they dont even use the best map at all in the campaign.

>>528679213
Ate their weetabix

>>528679337
They're just not that killy. You can do stuff like make Rumbler stick on ogryns and it's a bit more killy. Kickback can sort of kill specials.

>>528679472
As I was playing with other arbiters at first it was ok but now no one's joining, it was just me and the bots..

"X kills under effect of ruthless efficiency" okay i guess they're talking about a talent that got a name change because i can't find this talent.

>>528679337
Sorry big guy but Ogryn is the joke class. You only slap people around but not kill them.

I haven't played Psyker in a while. How's brainburst these days? Last I checked assail and smite were the better choices since anything you might wanna BB gets smoked immediately by your team before it even goes off nowadays.

>>528679213
Noble house genetics.
Real answer:
Taller enemies are innately more intimidating in a FPS games because it speaks to the animalistic side of the brain which goes "bigger thing = stronger = more dangerous"

>>528679337
shield, bully club, pickaxes, and the knife to an extent, deletes shit
you're clearly doing something wrong

>>528679857
it's your reload aura

>"""""""""""""revamped"""""""""""""""" mission select
>it's the same fucking shit as before except 1000% uglier

>>528679857
You are absolutely correct.

>>528679997
They even showed teasers/previews and promised they were unfinished.
Nothing changed since then.

>>528679969
They're also yanno, Heretics, if they drank deep of the kool aid they may have already started to develop mutations.

>>528677689
I like the mk7 shotgun too. It's really nice for killing snipers.
I just slapped carapace + unyielding dmg on it and then full bore + death spitter and it feels great.

>>528679006
One bot stayed behind too and the other two died. I pretty much solod it. You should be able to solo the Karnak twins on sedition lvl 30, unless you're playing a really weak build.

help

>>528680161
That too.
Chaos juice and blessings from the gods at play as well.

>>528679337
Because ogryn already such insane durability and stagger and cleave, it would be a bit retarded if he instakilled with every waepon.

>>528679997
The only thing they did was trim the number of missions on the board and make difficulty selectable whilst plastering a shit load of post processing on the UI. Great update Sweden.

>>528678589
the melee movesets are great though, good flow of combos that offer both single target and aoe stagger

>>528679337
You are doing something seriously wrong with ogryn if you think pickaxes don't instantly delete everything in the game.

>>528679337
Ogryn weps are justn ot inherently good, that's why you have to abuse batter etc to get up top statistically
They opted to not buff the weapons in the ogryn rework and instead just make him inherently OP instead

>>528679337
Ogryns used to be about more about stagger focus, but you can't use a pickaxe and heavy stubber and tell me it just throws things around

>>528680401
>dogless
No helping you sorry

>>528679883
Brainburst is still too slow and too low damage. They still haven't listened to "make it one shot specials and make it faster".
It's only the two dots it has that make it sometimes worthwhile. One for spamming on bosses etc, one for getting faster elite/specials kills with some staffs (my retard build uses that).

>>528680358
I'm level 17 and my build is meh. I got downed instantly when one of the twins exploded, along with another bot. the last bot couldn't revive me..

>>528680825
also to be clear i mean his unbuffed weps
the weps that did get buffs (and the ones released later) are very killy
Nobody can use a club and say it's killy tho. Without batter it takes like 6 heavies to kill a mauler

The game must be bugged, conversations keep getting dropped left and right and I haven't been able to hear any of the new lines. So, which Arbites fits best for a Dirty Harry mockup?

>>528677689
Shield pistol is for when you get caught out in the open by gunners. Swapping from shield/baton to shield/pistol doesn't break your block at all when holding it, so you can whip out the pistol while under fire without dying instantly

>>528681280
Yeah
>Bully: LET'S DO A SHOUTING CONTEST
>....

>>528669886
>>528670264
go back fag

>>528681078
>level 17
Oh. Well yeah, in that case you'd need to play it near-perfectly.

>>528671017
everyone who tried that is now permabanned

>>528680926
What now?

>>528679883
It's kinda sorta psyker's best blitz, let me explain.
Assail locks you out of psykinetic's aura, which is psyker's single best node on the entire tree. Not taking it has to be a conscious choice, and in the highest difficulties likely means you're either memeing or griefing. It doesn't matter how good can theoretically be.
Smite is smite. It's a genuinely useful emergency tool, but situations where you're forced to use it should ideally never come up.
Brain burst gives flame staff builds a much needed ranged option. That's its greatest strength. With empowered psionics you can also pretty quickly explode packs of gunners and the like. Kinetic resonance is also good, but its usefulness depends on what ability you end up using.
Brain burst without empowered psionics is fucking suffering. Don't fucking bother.
Warp siphon is generally considered to be better, but I can't trust my retards to kill snipers and gunners in aurics, so I'd rather make my brain burst actually usable.

Brain burst also gets used in havoc to kill difficult to reach snipers, and because smite is generally less useful with how many modifiers make enemies CC immune.

>>528681983
oh no...

So how do stats work for guns? I don't get the 50/80% thing.

>>528673943
Is that image supposed to prove your point? Retard
>>528613145
We’re still experimenting. Will get back to you soon.

>>528682107
When will you learn english?

>>528682096
80% is the max it can have after you upgrade it so ideally you want one that has 60% max in the weakest attribute (generally mobility or defense)

welp, there it is

>>528682307
After I upgrade it? You mean empower? Consecrate? How can I upgrade the specific stat?

>>528635536
found one

>>528679213
Chaos mutation usually makes people taller, bulkier, etc. but not universally. Which is why Wolfer isn’t.

>>528679997
>accurately guessed this shit a month ago
It hurts being this prophetic. And having the knowledge to understand these sweggers.

cooperating games, am i right?

>>528682438
Empower, the 3 digit number on a weapon. Consecrate upgrades the rarity which gives more perk slots.

Why does it attach to the middle of the grip?

>>528681089
>Nobody can use a club and say it's killy tho. Without batter it takes like 6 heavies to kill a mauler
And you need both skullcrusher and thunderous if you want max DPS out of the bleed.

I can't wait to be done with this dogass execution order penance so I can go back to using the good capstone(s)

Smarr ovel wolked famiry game studio, prease understando

>>528682671
its very clearly not supposed to and whatever node the intern used to attach it to the model got fucked

QUAIL, BLOCK-FODDER

>>528682096
So you have 15 to 25 ammo on your gun if it was 0-100%. But it maxes out at 80% because it's 80% for some retard reason. So it would be 23 max.
But your gun is 32/72% ammo. That means at max it can ever have 72% of that 25. And currently you have 32%.
IF it was linear, it's not though.

So what you do is hope that eventually you get a gun that has some crap like Mobility at 60% so the rest are 80%.
You can inspect the weapon and see what all the stats do.

>>528668238
>>528669687
Agreed. I enjoy my wholesome /u/ stuff and the smut, but there are so many obnoxious and retarded cunts surrounding it that it's hard to have a decent discussion about it outside of the occasional /a/ thread where newfaggots will tell people to fuck off to /u/ and shit even those threads up. But it's whatever. Doesn't stop me from enjoying most eastern /u/.

>>528683734

>>528675053
>>528675757
Sounds like fun. I missed carrying shitters during the player drought. Aurics are boring as fuck when everyone is halfway decent.

>>528683857
This is what happens. Newer players get left behind and have to play Catch-up the whole match, as they have to contend whit every single fucker the sprinter just runs past. They don't stand a chance. I tend to stay back with them and help them out, but it ultimately just leads to the never players picking up bad habits thinking they have to play like some fucking Turbo-faggot that most likely got carried by his team. It's a Team-game. Save that shit for when you play with your own friends, don't do that shit when you are playing with new people

It seems to me that every Arbites with it or true survivor has just microwaved their brain. Probably just learning the class limits but it's funny.

Fuck off. It's not my fault Fatshit made me do x missions before I can play a difficulty that's actually fun. I'm not about to make that process take 50-100% longer by babysitting people who don't know how to play a 3-year-old game. Not my fucking responsibility.

>>528685079
kek yeah. I took the stamina one since I'm frequently push-attacking with the arbites shock maul, and that's just free toughness. I think I'll probably end up dropping Strike Down to get Zealous Dedication (depending on breakpoints I've yet to try). Dunno if I wanna drop anything for the stacking weakspot strength. It's hard to say wether Will of the Lex is necessary or just redundant with other sources of regen because most Auric missions are a fucking snooze anyway.

>>528685486
Same. Except I was doing the 15 missions without going down.

>>528681280
Authoritarian maybe? Maul is way too goofy with the edgy Batman voice going on and Fatalist is a bit too gleeful. None of them have that really Clint Eastwood dry style voice to them though

>>528685486

>>528685560
Zealous Dedication seems really good. And maybe Street-smarts for the extra dodge?

we got a

yeah darktide we bout to get down (get down)

>>528686029
Street-Smarts is good, but I don't think I wanna drop anything for it. You get plenty of dodges as is. I was using it but ended up swapping to Cower, Miscreants just because it seemed pretty under-utilized.

Have they fucked with enemy spawns or something? Aurics have next to no big elite waves now
