I thought the thing they changed with blessed shots on the repeater pistol was that free ammo thing applying to every bullet of the alt fire, not the crits, but I’m going off secondhand information so I could be wrong

Just bought this game. Haven't played the first one. Which class is recommended to ease me into the game?

They are all pretty good but maybe Marcus? His first class gets 125 hp and hes pretty good at everything.

Willie Tomg posted:I really want to try regular xbow with Bounty Hunter ever since I saw the red crit damage compared to his red crit lvl 25 doubleshot active. To wit: they were drat near the same. I expect volley bow to get nerfed soon (and sorry, the drat thing looks too ridiculous for me), so I use the crossbow instead. It's sweet, a free insta-kill on any closeby target weaker than a Chaos Warrior and anything behind it from a melee kill is pretty sweet and looks stylish as all hell too. Arguably you could use the brace of pistols instead, but I like the massive damage spike to make sure specials are dead. Caveat: when zoomed-in, crossbow Blessed Shot with the free shot talent will fire two bolts in succession. I like crouching for a sec instead when sniping key targets; the accuracy seems to be equal to a quick zoom.

Gave hammer and shield a go on ironbreaker for the crowd control but started to miss the armor piercing of axe and shield, went back to the axe and just got better at shield bashing and instantly switching to the drakefire pistols to wipe out hordes in front of me while they are staggered. How are people liking the none-halberd weapons on Kruber and various witch hunter and elf melee weapons?

The key to Bounty Hunter being so goddamn fun is not its amazing Blessed Shots or anything. It's that pressing F is your Raiders of the Lost Ark button.

Ooh, the first heavy on Kruber's mace and shield being a mace sweep is loving nice. I still prefer the 2H hammer for him, but I'm glad that the more defensive alternative also has a very good moveset.

Sometimes the arc of the axe swing doesn't feel as good as the hammer but drat if it isn't satisfying planting that axe in a Stormvermin's head and watching it fall off.

Hammer is too wavey-around. The axe has nice swift chopping motions. Easier to headshot plus AP.

My only issue with the shield is the first charged attack is a shield slam. If you want to axe someone in the face immediately you gotta light attack and then follow with a charged attack.

Which level 15 talent do you guys like to use with the Ranger Veteran? The 1 in 4 for a bomb seems neat, I tried the 1 in 3 potion but it seems like no one likes to use up their potions and they mostly went to waste (I don't think a single healing potion dropped), and the one that drops more ammo is always useful too, but mainly for me, who runs out of ammo faster than any other ranged specialized class.

Gamerofthegame posted:Sienna can throw a flaming skull at them (that will sometimes go for another but it's a whimsical skull) and then do it again like twenty seconds later. It's not near as satisfying as just dropping him with one casual shot from a side arm. The whimsical nature of the flaming skull also means it sometimes seems to do no damage or just ignore him and hit a mook nearby.

I got Potion Share charm, and since then i've been enjoying running Potion Drop on ranger. You just roleplay being hella thristy all of the time and give out free buffs to your friends. Healing draughts do not drop, sadly.

I like that Bounty Hunter Saltzpyre is trying to stay incognito but can't stop himself from screaming HOLY JUSTICE and yelling about Sigmar while he works.

Best-use scenario is that you use it to disengage from the horde for long enough to snipe a troublesome blightstormer, then pick up a downed ally while the enemies aren't paying much attention to you and then fight your way out aided by the health bonus for your level 25 talent. It can also be helpful when you're fighting yoshi because he'll turn his back on you long enough to comfortably plant some shots into baby mario

Yeah, it's definitely nowhere near as strong as Ironbreaker, but I like dwarf's ranged weapons so that's pretty much my only real option.

Is there a lore reason that the stormvermin carries a tiny rat around on its back? It looks neat, but all that the tiny rat seems to do is wiggle around and provide a second weakpoint to hit.

Dwarf smoke is to divert attention to someone else obviously. Still enjoying Merc's halberd over all the other weapons.

They really should've left the healing potion on drops in, I think. Ironbreaker is one of the most solid classes in the game and can be a foundation for your team. (A good) Slayer can pump out the boss and armored killing numbers and be a huge asset. If Ranger Veteran still dropped healing, I think he'd be on par with the other two but for now, there's not much reason to go for it if you're playing Bardin.

That little rat grafted to their back are the brains of the otherwise incredibly dumb Stormfiend combo. The combination of the brain rat and the rat ogre allow the Stormfiend to use weapons like the warpfire thrower and actually think somewhat better on its own without a pack master around.
