Like xaris says it can be obnoxiously rare but when you get the crit on a whole pack of guys you instantly go 0 to full ammo yeah I dont have any evidence ot back this up, but I suspect Buttstroke does not benefit from Crit Chance on Weapon nor Trinket, so its just your innate 5% crit chance because there's no way that it's close to having 15% crit with modifiers

Cpt_Obvious posted:The key is to just block everyone, and only read your own posts. They buffed the 2h axe and with the 25% power on reload talent you're looking at crazy good damage. I really wanna try the warpick but i can't put down the 2h axe--with SS and a strength potion light attacks will wreck bosses so quickly. The warpick is great but it takes some getting used to, basically its light attacks are charged attacks with the 2h hammer but slightly less stagger and more enemies damaged. Run 10% PvC, 5% atk speed with SS, you'll stagger everything but a CW with light attacks even in hordes. Use the 1st charged attack against everything unless you have time to use the full charged attack in which case enjoy 1 shotting everything but CW's though with 20% PvC and the 25% power when reloading talent you might be able to 1 shot them on champ again. You want to use the 1st charged attack against bosses just because most bosses will move too much for you to hit them enough with the super charged attack. The shotgun was fun but the handgun is where it's at, 2 shotting CW's with head shots and telling every single special to get hosed from all ranges is great.

Thank me for my brilliance after you've helped your team with this technique. I don't mind.

I'm trying to figure out the right properties to roll on some weapons. Does a Rat Ogre count as Skaven or Monster for +% damage? Both? What about Chaos Warriors? Chaos and/or armored? Does anywhere break this down reliably

Does anywhere break this down reliably Armored: Chaos Maulers, Stormfiends, Stormvermins (both types) and Ratling Gunners, and Champion heads. Champion body armor is boss type. Monsters: Bile Troll, Chaos Spawn, Rat Ogre, Stormfiend, Packmaster Infantry: Anything else Race: Literally anything of that race, including stuff that falls under previous categories; ie +Chaos also affects Chaos Spawns, Maulers, the trash, blightstormers, etc. Generally the safest bet is Infantry + [Race] as those are the most inclusive properties. Stacking inf and chaos so you get 20% inf/chaos total usually hits you some breakpoints so maulers/marauders take one less hit to kill.

Champion body armor is boss type. only thing to add here is that berserkers are their own thing and do not count as infantry - beyond that yeah there are a lot of specials subsumed in the infantry/unarmored type and it includes blightstormers, leeches, gutter runners, and globadiers, which is important to keep in mind imho

I've said the fire sword is bad before, but I hesitate to harp on it too much cause it's bad in a sort of weird way? On a basic level, it's just the sword with different heavies. The lights and push-stab should be the same making for the same good combo loops. The first heavy is pulled directly from the dagger except NOTICABLY bigger aoe size while NOTICEABLY slower to come out. The second heavy is a cleaving sweep. I'll get this out of the way and say the fire dot is nigh meaningless, but that's normal for Sienna. It's got some good parts to it, but they're combined in a way that I am not sure is cohesive. Making it quite a weird weapon to use that is.. good but awkward? If that is even such a thing I can say as an awkward weapon usually means it's bad.

It's third light is a weird poke with lovely AP instead of the overhead chop with massive AP, which is a big deal since that was like the only passable AP attack to start with.

Just had the weirdest legend run on quickplay, join in halfway dealing with a laggy swarm of chaos warriors and maulers at the mid-way point, dealt with them with one other guy while another was dead and the elf was alone way up ahead, after that, the entire rest of the map was completely devoid of enemies, not a single horde for 5 minutes of walking, very few ambient enemies, host said his computer was recent and that the run was normal up until then.

Starting to get a feel for Sienna, them green circles are mine.  Her biggest weakness is '2-3 slave rats surrounding her and taking turns hitting her', I still mess up the timing sometimes.

Fishstick posted:Armored: Chaos Maulers, Stormfiends, Stormvermins (both types) and Ratling Gunners, and Champion heads. Champion body armor is boss type. Not sure if verminbuilds is correct anymore but you should theoretically be able to get power vs chaos and skaven on your weapon and charm so you'd be rocking 20% power vs everything on the map. It's also important to point out that power vs doesn't stop poo poo like armor mitigation and such so power vs armored/monsters is really useless. The fact that power vs race will work on literally everything including bosses also makes it a no brainer. It's very rare that power break SV 1 hit cap which is the only reason you'd wanna rock power vs skaven/armored where power vs chaos will help you deal more damage to far more enemies. Honestly they should bump down vs skaven/chaos to 5% and leave everything else at 10% but at this point you're better off just removing the rest and keeping power vs skaven/chaos. It's a system that clearly needs refinement but i'm pretty sure once you start refining it you'd just end up scrapping the power system because that's the next logical step haha.

I haven't tried swiftbow since the big hero power changes, but nobody seems to be using it anymore, it's a shame because it was my old favorite.  You could turn bosses into pin-cushions with your infinite ammo bow.

I dunno what the meta answer is but my feeling is similar to the melee weapons, if it isn't slow with good AP it isn't worth the time it takes to fire.

You just need to make sure your loadout is complementary. A swift bow would go decently with something heavy in AP that is slow or single target. Turn hordes in to pincushions and go to town on elites with melee.

I'm really liking warpick doomdwarf. 2h hammer is probably better but I prefer horde sweeps on m1 than charging up. We'll see how it is once the bugs get fixed though. His ult is lackluster now so I was surprised they removed the auto crit. At least warpick charged attack does good boss damage.

As slayer, jumped in a legendary lobby hosted by a very snotty beam staff pyromancer who very much wanted to camp from exploit spot to exploit spot and was quite rude to a team that would much prefer to just play the game thank you. So when he and I are last up at the river of the fort after already losing a tome, and he orders me to go ahead and get the other two so he could camp the cliffside and i dunno, provide moral support while i'm out of LoS? I dunno what his plan was, but my plan was to vault the second book into the river. Waste my time huh? Two can play that game. People really want there to be strategies deeper than "stick together, do damage quick, block more" but there just aren't! Even Halescourge doesn't get much harder than "spread out a little, do damage quick, focus adds"
