Is there a point at which Champion/Legend chests will guarantee only 300 power items? I’ve been getting 300s for a few days but there’s still the odd 295~ which grates my gears when it’s the only exotic out of the box. It’s an imperceptible difference I know but my uneven-numbered hero powerrrr

Them's the breaks, but IMO might as well spend your scrap on getting level 300 items and upgrading them the hard way since what else are you going to spend scrap on?

I haven't played in like 3 weeks, did they say they were going to tune the skating chaos guys? I'm fine with them coming at that speed, I just want clearer visual communication that the guy taking one step forward and raising his axe is now equipped with Heelies©

I really hope they introduce throwing axes for the Slayer. Given that back when they had an army their specialised war machine just threw axes at people, and all of their ranged troops threw axes. It might help mitigate Slayers biggest weakness. Anything that he can't reach is impossible to deal with. Having to wait for the Globader to wander down in range of you is a huge hassle.

I haven't really found the Slayer's lack of range to be that huge of a deal. The CC specials are very dodge-able, and with the current meta you are almost guaranteed to have 3 other people dedicated to ranged.

The number of times I've turned around and all three of the pubbies (yeah I know, my fault for playing with pubbies) I've been quick playing with have gone down simultaneously to a gas bomb... well, I don't have enough fingers to cover it. Slayer is great, and cleaving through armour like it's nothing is satisfying as hell. But I desperately want to giggle in glee as I huck a axe into a skaven's face from out of nowhere before I leap through the air like a majestic ginger pigeon and start swinging.

Yeah, there have been games where I was the designated special killer as Ironbreaker, simply because the others apparently couldn't be bothered. But at that point, your group just sucks and it's probably not limited to that one aspect.

Lets me help out chewing up armor targets and I can reliably obliterate specials from a good distance

It is consistently impressive to me how much 'I would do X but then I'd have to rely on my team' comes up in this thread. I hate pubbies in literally all the games but relying on them to be at least half-competent is pretty unavoidable in this game and it seems like your just hamstringing yourself if you refuse to.

It's not the "pubbies suck and you gotta do the job yourself" thing to me, it's that the role of a "hard counter" to major threats in VT2 generally cannot be fulfilled by a single dude. When you have multiple Chaos Warriors, Chaos Maulers, and shield Marauders coming at you, finding yourself in the position of "well let the 2H hammer/axe dude handle it" is a bad fuckin' deal. Multiple, powerful, special snipers are a necessity in Champion since the fuckers come at you in multiples; the same concept applies to can-openers. Just so happens that the best weapons are those that can do that, as well as some horde-clearing on the side or vice versa. Hence my trepidation about 2H swords: bless them for being great for horde clear, but god help you if shields/armor are in a horde. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Apr 1, 2018 |

I got an orange halberd with “slayer” on it. It’s amazing, especially when it stacks with Paced Strikes. It’s only HP 175 though. I’m assuming there isn’t a way to upgrade its HP...

Hell yeah, made it to 300HP drops after 148 hours. This game is...good. Also whoever said that there's still breakpoints for Halberd damage at around 600HP is right. Comparing 592HP vs 599HP, a Halberd light sweep bodyshot gets 1400 vs 1650 damage, which is hilariously huge. I can only hope the dummy is skewing the results a tad bit much.

My hope is they give the ranger the BH treatment so bardin players can use their ranged weapons. Tried the slayer on a champion run with the beta build, its totally manageable especially with the 1h hammer but i actually did less damage/kills than my normal IB runs which blows my mind. The problem is you need to be careful with positioning and constantly move around while the IB with a shield just wades into the biggest concentration of enemies push attacking. During a boss the slayer has a ton of potential unless the boss aggros you then not only is all that potential DPS wasted you have to struggle to survive. Now that the boss taunt is working the IB is amazing during a boss fight because you can pull aggro for 10 seconds and give the boss off balance. You can make the slayer work but it will always be sub par compared to the ironbreaker because its a team game.

I think they should just reduce his jump's cooldown to like, 10 seconds

I hate pubbies in literally all the games but relying on them to be at least half-competent is pretty unavoidable in this game and it seems like your just hamstringing yourself if you refuse to. They literally intended for you to design your groups in the keep like discussing tactics and poo poo but in reality people get attached to certain classes and characters while some careers are just inferior at the job. Unchained/zealot will never be as good tanks as FK/IB, none of bardins careers will ever approach the DPS of the other DPS careers, and to make matters worse on legend your pretty much forced into roles. I have multiple lv30's but i play IB the most and i would love to mess with slayer/ranger but realistically on champ/legend me being IB will pull our rear end out of the fire and allow us to complete the run so i play IB. I'm also the dedicated grim/tome carrier in every game, if i'm slayer/ranger who's going to carry the grim and not die? When i was leveling my other chars it was a horrible poo poo show with us losing the grims almost constantly because it takes a certain mindset to carry them and not have the freedom of going down. Kruber and the elf are the best off atm with all 3 careers being very viable, hopefully they'll buff ranger/WHC/BW.

One thing about this game that I find kind of nuts is that people will always go for the grims and tomes, even if it's really obvious this team won't survive taking them both. I'd rather get a box then get nothing >

Not really a fan of Slayer in high difficulties but I find that taking the stronger Leap stagger with faster cooldown on stacks helps a lot more than defense per stack and uninterruptible attacks. Just Keep Jumpin'!

Agrajag posted:sounds not fun at all It's about challenging yourself to see if you can beat the absolute hardest content. Same sorta mouth feel as MMO raiding. It demands a bit of compromise on the players part to play things that are objectively better instead of whatever is the most fun, because at that point winning/challenging yourself is where the fun comes from and not what weapon/class you're using. If that doesn't describe you then stay on champion, thats fine too.

During Empire in Flames my rando vet team was picked off one after the other by the evilest hook rat. First it hooked Sienna and dragged her off the map just as I turned around to try and save her, while our Kruber kept hacking away at slaverats. I get mobbed from behind by ratties and while I'm in the moshpit I got hooked and dragged past the invisible wall. My limp carcass should have been a warning to the Kruber and the IB to start paying attention to the hooker instead of the slave rats. IB doesn't seem to care so he gets hooked while the Kruber kept doing his thing. I chime in that he should do something about the rat with the stick. Nope, while he's lipping me off and trying to school me on the ways of the Foot Knight he gets hooked.

Minorkos posted:I think they should just reduce his jump's cooldown to like, 10 seconds That's already the case, provided that you take the talent that reduces the cooldown on-hit and are actually in the thick of things hitting with your dual axes. You can keep 100% uptime on the attack speed buff (and movement speed buff, if you take that talent as well), and it stacks very favorably with the Swift Slaying enchant. Slayer is an absolute blender and a ton of fun to play, but as others have mentioned losing your ranged weapon is a huge trade-off. Not unmanageable, but definitely needs to be taken into consideration when choosing a team lineup.
