I don't mind looking at the terrain to figure out where hordes will spawn in from, I can't be bothered to learn patrol spawn points/routes or whatever else. That sounds tedious.

Its aesthetics are superb, I'll admit that 8 days outta the week, but if you're confused why folk hate on it you haven't gotten to know the longsword and/or dagger's attack patterns well enough.

Is there much of a problem with going into Champion games with gear at level 120-ish? Veteran is killing me slowly with poor team work, dudes running half a mile out of their way to kill that rat over there or shooting the guy I'm literally swinging at just to get that sweet sweet scoreboard tally.

Just craft one, it’s miles better than the fire sword and letter opener

It's the standard sword. People just refer to it as the long sword (or 1-hand sword) to distinguish it from the fire sword. Fire Grandma only has 4 melee weapons.

If they cut down on the mayfly/lumberfoot spam, and remove some of the worst schoolyard lines (I'm the heroine of this tale etc.), she could actually become a tolerable character in due time.

Friend, do as I have and embrace the mace. Observe its qualities here and trust to more than goodfeels: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RDYFEJvotNAve7gcD7cj_dhukuxDK8BaDOAwpYtGlQc/edit#gid=1130245221

For horde work, 3 sweeping light attacks with better cleave and stagger than the Sword and different damage; more to first guy, less to later guy. Or, better, heavy attacks with the same raw damage as the Sword, and not much less cleave, but with plenty of stagger. You can also actually kill Stormvermin with this thing via the heavy bop, which is the same damage readout as a 2h Hammer hit. The heavy bop probably comes with a DoT too but nobody knows what it does precisely and it probably adds little.

It is slower than the Sword and that's a fact but that is well traded for not being rear end versus armored targets and carrying all that stagger (note: spreadsheet does not prove stagger so I have to goodfeels this at you, but...I believe it). I also prefer its attack patterns; you can easily get around the heavy combo leading with bop by doing push attack and then chaining heavies forever, or when you are a bit panicked and need guys off you three wide sweeping light attacks with great stagger await you before block cancel comes into play. I believe you said you're playing Unchained, hence the desire for fire? You'll have plenty of stamina to push-strike courtesy of the Stamina Regen On Heavies talent.

I can't bear to be an Unchained whose weapon isn't ~*LIT*~ either, so the most important thing to you and me both - it's still on fire. In fact as an Unchained with it you cosplay Sauron from the famous movie opening of Fellowship of the Ring.


Melee weapons apply one core damage modifier normally and a different one when they crit and that is why critting allows "non-AP" attacks to hurt Armored. Presumably ranged weapons operate the same way.

I call this piece "Pubby Elves". One guess who was carrying the remaining grim after we already lost on in the bossfight.

Hook rats are in the weird health category that fatshark made to explicitly gently caress shotguns and nothing else, so you unfortunately have to get used to shotguns only really being able to finish them off

On the plus side, it will make you very good at side dodging hooks since you’ll often have no choice but to melee them

perspective, of course, being that i met 7 good friends and 3 girlfriends out of the countless hundreds of games of l4d2 i played. my success rate was definitely less than 1%. but when compared to the array of racial and sexual slurs i've been called in vermintide (in front of other goons, no less) the difference is stark.

I hate when the speedrunner "leading" the group flies right past the side paths to tomes and grims, and I have to either risk making a quick detour to pick them up (probably getting leeched or pounced), or accept my fate as a commoner.

Its a silly game about smashing rats and right now my group can't be bothered to git gud at champ in the doofy exterminator simulator.

Redundant posted:

Those things are part of the problem, but only a very small part. Its the increased everything that tends to mess us up. We are pretty bad overall and are way too aggressive with hordes, don't kill bosses cleanly and struggle to contain things when dominos start falling. We haven't given up on Champ or anything but with limited time available there's normally at least one person who just wants to comfortably crush rats for a while.

Vet teaches plenty of bad habits that are then a chore to unlearn.

All elves can glaive/longbow. They're pretty similar really.

I keep giving it a chance but I can't stand it. The 1h sword is a better off meta weapon by far.

Also it only seems to do this half the time and only with round bombs but Pleasure From Pain seems to work with bombs. So if the situation is extremely dire you can also use the period of invincibility to pop your special, chuck a bomb at your feet and fill your bar with temp health.
