That was beautiful and I love the diagrams. You gave me a lot of ideas thank you for your work man. o7

Telling Warhammer 40K fan to go easy on the color is like telling a junkie to go easy on the drug. Are they aware of what they're doing? Yes. Will they stop? No

Keep it up. for the emperor!

Does the fencing weapons not allow you to finish a full combo? And is that what they mean by low cleave value? Or is it harder to just finish a combo with a fencing weapon?

Bro great video that isnt just filled with garbage slop fake tips like "you gotta kill the bugs lol" like other ppl. Love the assault class even though everyone thinks its bad and i refuse to give up. Being an avenging angel of death from the sky is awesome

In my experience, if you're using a weapon that only lets you block, it is not worth using the parry button anymore unless you're getting jumped by a small enemy. With a block weapon I recommend to only use dodge and attack as much as possible since those weapons usually deal more damage so you reach the execute point faster and can regenerate armor that way. Those weapons can work too but they do require another playstyle.

It’s like you have a codex in your back pocket lol, thanks man. I’ll give this a go.

Do you know if hammer or chain sword is better?

Pro tip, dodge to setup parry kite

Great video @Reginald. With having both chainsword and hammer maxxed out which is the better pros and cons for pve? I would assune the hammer as Assault is the only class with the hammer meaning it should be Assault's forte. I understand the pros of the chainsword being available to other clases for levelling purposes, but that aside. Which is the best option? Is it time I put down the hammer and start the chainsword grind?

I Pretty much spam dodge constantly so I was thinking of leaning towards block, but haven't tried any of the higher difficulties yet.

Ah well, luckily the game is still fresh and I hope are taking steps to iron out the kinks for Assault.

Im a sniper i never lose to em

Legitimate question. Why not play a Tactical but with this playstyle? Thats the only question u need to ask yourselves to figure out how bad Assault is atm

I love this class. Especially playing w/ the hammer(I use the “Balanced” most). Reminds of playing w/ Thor in Avengers😂😂😂I feel godly in this game

I believe is about the whole parry system but I have no idea how it actually works, I think it's a mix of parry window and recovery time from the parry, I could be completely wrong

Just hover the cursor over the stats and you’ll get info on what they do. The game tells you what the different defense stats do.

As a budding bulwark main this is super helpful. Thanks!

It's honestly weird that they give vanguard an innate 50% contested health heal while assault get 50% perfect dodge window, i think it should be the other way around so assault class has more staying power considering vanguard has access to melta and 50% parry window anyway.

If big hoards are your problem you want high cleave you will also spend a lot less time fighting them as they will be dead instead of standing there all day lol

Wait people think the assault class is bad, he’s my favourite class

mastery is stored in the balls

Finally... I get it.... ....I get it...

My two friends and I usual MO for dealing with it is: As soon as it appears, no less than 4 krak grenades get attached to it. We've come to know him as the Christmas Tree, because when he appears we put lights on it.

Want some free credits so you can get a Heraldry set without the guilt/grind? You can get 150 free credits from Twitch Drops til the end of the month.

Thing is: i have no problems with assault even on higher difficulities when playing first, second and sixth map. But as soon as you are up against chaos... it is a very different story. Funny how you also show almost no clips vs. chaos...

I’m an assault main and only recently had the light bulb moment of “the name of this class really doesn’t suit the way you’re meant to play it”. Since then I’ve been doing a lot of your tactics 1 & 2 depending on who I’m playing with. Thank you for posting some content with meat and potatoes and not just “remember to break these boxes”.

I think block weapons are extremly usless, like whats even the point? if you block you dont get a time where you can attack without taking damage, and the weapon also deals to little damage to forfill the mindset "Kill them before you need to defend"

not taking commitment is crminal🫣🫠

Just got my sub and blew my mind at the same time

You put discipline 1 instead of 2 at 1:30 nice video though

So I should make my Thunder hammer fencing? As it also increases speed at the cost of 1 damage

Time for me to take these lessons to heart and git gud.

Ah another youtuber that thinks he can mentor others after a few dozen hours, cause he now knows all the ins and outs, all mechanics and he is self proclaimed ADVANCED player lol

Assault here. I understand and agree that with a fencing weapon your Life should be easier, BUT shouldnt assault's extended Dodge window and %melee DMG perks be exploited with a High DMG, blocking weapon? Thank you Brothers 🫡

A lot of your talking points can be applied to the Vanguard as well since they have similar weaponry and the gameplan is usually involve grapple kicking in, melee mash & execute the majoris enemies especially if they have ranged fire; all while being exposed to the dangers of a mosh pit. The only difference being that Grapple Kick doesn’t have the jetpack smash AOE spread until the damage-based perk like it is unlocked & Vanguards can combine certain perks to literally throw their weight around with an introduction Grapple Kick into a now-damaged-buffed Malta blast to the face

Umm aktualy thuts a zoamtrope in the thumnai not a nurutrupe 🤓🤓

Maybe with chainsaw. With hammer you need damage with faster animation dor chargeup

I went STRAIGHT for the Salamanders heraldry.

As a Bulwark main, I need to toss some info into this. -Fencing is the best for parrying, and if you have a parry build, you can do a looooot of damage with it. -Speed is a very important stat too, as the lower the number, the more frames you need to commit to an attack before you can do anything else. (I would like a second opinion on this if someone has noticed something different.) -Cleave potential appears to affect the size of your hit box when you swing. Like a thrust can deal aoe damage if your cleave potential is high enough (Really need a second opinion on this one) With slower swords, I spam power rake (melee charge attack) as it does more dps than light combos. Bulwark also has a plethora of skills rewarding parrying, though I didn't see that so much for Assault. Still, even basic parrying can be super rewarding, and to be honest, I never noticed that parrying pushes the crowd back.

I discovered that when you hit enemies their health goes away and it makes running through quests easier

I wish somebody would tell me how to use power fist, even though i struggle with it, i am determined to use it well T_T

Took a block power sword on my bulwark. Cant parry anything really but he absolutely cleaves through chaff

Can anyone tell me if they struggle with this? Whenever i fight a Ravener, he has this 3 hit swipe move that swings right, left, and then double stab. For some reason, every time i try to parry the right swipe, it whiffs. The left swipe and double stab i can parry just fine, but whiffing the first parry ensures you get combod by the other two. WHY?

Hammer only, not using some shared out non unique weapon ever

Have you found a jank weapon to get weird about?

Extremely well made video

As always, a boon to my space marine 2 needs when it comes to informational videos! <3

Does anyone else think that mastery exp and these different currencies could have been better implemented? I find it confusing to see after every mission that I got mastery with a weapon only to find nothing different because I already mastered the weapon? Armory data is different then mastery points which is different than requisition but I use req to buy cosmetics and class upgrades and new weapons?
