At the beginning you are actually incorrect about the amount of guns. It is a brace of pistols, so a bunch of pistols that are preloaded and strapped to Saltzpyre. The fact that the reload is cocking guns instead of reloading guns shows that none of the guns are reused this means that bounty hunter Saltzpyre can carry a measly 47 pistols

I've seen tons of Vermintide 2 videos, but this one is probably the most comprehensive, detailed, and fun to watch out of all, even though it's SHORT (just like Bardin, kekw). I love how you struck a balance between humor, creative editing, and covering ALL aspects of the game. I don't know how hard it was to do, but Holy Shit, the result was worth it, because it's a fucking masterpiece. Vermintide 2 is one of those games that opens up to you over time, but for that, as a new player, you first need to try the game as a whole and stay in it long enough to give yourself a chance to fall in love with it. I hope videos like this help give this game more of the attention it so badly deserves. Thanks for this Ultimate Vermintide Magnum Opus, Bass, and good luck with your channel, because just like the game, it also deserves more attention. P.S. Ending is just perfect

Hey, this is an incredible effort to put together a SHORT video like this, thanks! Now, if you don't mind - I think that you made the Beam Staff a bit of injustice. It's very good against bosses on Battle Wizard, especially if you don't have killing machines like GK or Shade in your party. It has 5 stages of ticks, first two being really weak, and 3-4-5 being more powerful by applying burning effect on top of progressivly increased damage. After 5th tick it just repeats the 5th one again and again, and btw, 5th tick has the most powerful version of burning, maybe in whole of Siennas kit. So mix it up with Famished Flames (ha-ha, what else), and you see the singular target you've been focusing is literally melting from large amount of strong DoT effects. But if you switch targets, you'll start again with the first tick, and this is why beam attack is utter shit against hordes. On top of that - you can do a right click DURING the beam attack to do a burst attack. It also scales with amount of ticks that you're on now with the beam, and after 5th tick it really does a lot of damage (we're speaking 80+ with famished flames active, so it's reduced since it's not DoT). Now, beaming a target to death is a tough job on Legend+ because you're constantly having a lot of enemies around, this burst attack starts to really shine when you have 2 seconds when nobody's around. You just do 5ticks beam and top it off with the burst attack to chunk bosses HP quite a lot. Also it's decent with specials. Most of them die 2 seconds after you do a 4tick + burst (at least on Legend it's enough), and while beams range isn't infinite, it's still very long, so you can kill almost anything that isn't a kilometer-away-Blightstormer with a slight delay.

I may have nostalgia goggles, but I've always believed that V1 actually had the better look. This has mostly to do with the lighting engine used in V2, which is utter garbage. V1 focused on dusk / night lvls which were likely more forgiving. I do remember the weapons having strange reach in V1 but I believe that was a client issue due to rater bad net coding. I really hate V2s thp mechanic, turning hordes into health packs and making anti horde weapons, such as most staffs, into downright determents for the team (if used excessively). Don't get me started on the overall balance. Overall V1 was the better designed game and sadly the devs learned next to nothing from their V1 mistakes when they made V2.

Things I dislike about darktide after playing vermintide 2: Oh this staff only has 22% damage, but this one has 54% but lower stats overall, I wonder which one I should upgrade. Swimming in diamantine, I'm out of plasteel for the 13th time today! the "only 2 modifications allowed to be done on a weapon". Blessings on weapons having levels, whats the point of the blessing thats lower level and thus worse? The mk system, which is nice but then some weapons just don't feel nice to use

@@magicschoolbass my assessment of the combat is this: way more focus on ranged combat, which i honestly like since it gives your second weapon more use instead of just "On todays episode, the special (with featured guest, the elite)"

@@magicschoolbass "so many guns feel terrible" first thing that came to mind was the heavy lasgun, something doesn't feel right about it, just like the entire line-up of braced guns or the shotguns out of which i only ever use the one that loads a slug on special since its the only one that is consistent to some degree Kinda hard to quantify what makes a gun feel bad to use, but it's definitely noticeable once you get your hands on them.

Hah I am a regular Cataclysm player, and with me having played 900 hours, I wish to extend my wisdom to aid some of your errors I'll edit this message as I watch the video, whenever I see something is wrong, so it will be somewhat like my reaction to the video, hehe. And I will start with melee weapon traits. You said that there are only 2 useful ones - Swift Slaying and Parry, which are good traits. But you missed the gold one - Opportunist. Its description says "Push strength +50% against attacking enemies", which is a bullshit description, since it increases stagger not only for push, but for attacks as well. This is usually worthless for damaging weapons, but this is bread and butter for shield weapons. Shield weapons usually (all but spear and shield) have a shield bash, a special kind of attack that can hit infinite amount of enemies as long as they are in range. And, with opportunist, you can stagger EVERY enemy attack save from CWs overheads and monsters. Savages and plague monks included. And again - shield bash has no limit on how many enemies it can hit. So, you can hold of any amount of enemies. Sure, they will hit you between your shieldbashes, but: 1)you can blockcancel to shieldbash almost with no delay, and 2)shieldbash gives you immense stagger THP if you have stagger thp talent (3-5 thp per enemy hit), making you invincible to anything except specials, monsters and MAYBE some unlucky overheads. seriously, try this. In the video I saw your footknight halfdead with no thp and loads of enemies, and you still didnt bash them. Zou could easilz get 30-40 thp with just one bash(exaggareted, but 10 per bash easily). bruh (to stagger plague monks or savages out of their quick combos you need shield weapon, opportunist, 30-40% power increase. With this, you can even stagger them with simple pushes, not even shieldbashes. But dont get me wrong, the same but on normal weapons wont work. Shield weapons have a stronger base push. ) Also, I dont agree with bretonian sword and shield being bad. Well, I wouldnt call them good, but not bad either. The reason being this weapon has weird shield bash position in it's combo. You can access it as 3rd light attack of 2nd charged attack, which sucks. But, If you push and quickly try to light attack right after, you will for some goddamn reason shield bash. So you can just go push-shieldbash-push-shieldbash, so you can very quickly gaint stagger thp. Niche, but not bad. Ah, you touched that point, with its strange bashes, but you for some reason use the kill thp talent. Try with stagger thp. You wont fill as fullfilled, when you kill bosses or CWs with your ult, but would probably be okay due to infinite thp you will swim in. Got to the section with bardins pickaxe. Its charged attacks actually have 2 stages of being charged, like Saltspyre's rapier. Try charging it fully and watch closely. Around one second after starting the charge he will reposition it (i dont know a more fitting word for this) and if unleashed will do WAY more damage against armor. Still wouldnt pick it myself, though. Just wanted to mention that it is not FULLY useless. About hookrat. I myself looked up how to dodge him consistently, and the best option I found was trying to position yourself right near it. Imagine him running to you, and the moment he locks in you rotate yourself so he is to your left or right and dodge in his side. Not doable when in horde or dealing with some other shit, but otherwise usually saves you, unless ping. Ironbreaker. You either forgot, or entirely missed one essential point about him. One, that makes him one of the most tanky character in the whole game. And no, I dont mean trollpedos. It's just that he is the ONLY, ONLY person that can get rid of any special without ANY help from teammates. His passive allows him to absorb 1 hit per 20 seconds, but if you take one certain upgrade, whenever he absorbs that hit he staggers all enemies around him. ALL enemies, SPECIALS TOO!!! Still dont like playing him though, but that seemed a very important point. A bit off point, but I am really amazed you avoided all stagger thp talents in every carier that has it. Since it is common sense to do the opposite. seriously, have you never tried it? I strongly suggest to try. Slayer going 2 twohanded is worthless? well, dunno, dunno... pick the cleave thp talent, take coghammer with swiftslaying for usual combat and great hammer with opportunist when there are to many armored enemies around you. Coghammers quick attacks allow good thp generation and horde killing, charged attacks do okey monster and elites damage, and great hammer is for having Block Cost Reduction property and its charged attack, that with opportunist would allow you to stagger ANYTHING save for CWs. . And yeah, definitely pick the talent for fast ult regen when all passive stacks are up. I didnt see you use it, and it is strange, since it is the most meta option. Specials will be a problem though. Unless you decide to change great hammer for throwing axes. Then they are bearable. Well, later on you made good options for slayer, but I think cog hammer is Great Axe but better. and dual hammers and dual axes... meh, didnt like them. Hah, Saltspyre's Rapier... Seems you didnt know it has 2 stages of charged attacks. Still, I dont think they are that useful, spamming the uncharged charged attack is almost as efficient due to his critical headshots, so fully charged can help only with CWs, I guess. Also, rapier's pistol deals almost no damage if enemy is more than 5 feet away from you. You only killed the blightsrtormer on 1:19:36 due to a lucky crit on the head. The attack itself dealt literally 1 damage. Ah, Zealot... The local men, too religious to die. But it seems like you missed one of the main reasons, WHY he is so popular. You see, one of his talents increases his healing gained by up to 75%, and sure, when I myself saw this, it seemed stupid. Why healing bonus for a character, that always wants to stay nearly dead? The answer to this - is THP. Healing bonus not only increases your normal hp gained, IT INCREASES YOUR THP GAINED. So you can essentially get 105% bonus to THP gained. And yeah, you no longer will feel "injurable" after this. Also, one lide side fact, you should always have use medical supplies after you get downed. No, dont worry, you dont have to heal yourself. Healing OTHERS clears your deadly wounds as well, despite not healing your hp. So you can essentially be downed againg without fully dying. neat, yeah? About Kerilians Dual Swords, they have 2 funny properties. 1, the 3rd light attack has 25% crit chance bonus. Neat, yeah? right, but not as neat as 4th light attacks 50% crit chance. Why is it there? Probably to make this weapon at least somewhat justifiable to use. I usually see it used on WayStalkers along with a long bow. Btw, about Javelins. Handmaiden has a talent, that buffs your attack speed by 30% after pushing for your next 2 strikes This buff increases speed of you reloading your javelins. And, for some reason, ranged attacks dont diminish that buff, despite the wording "next 2 attacks". neat. Though you probably knew this already, so I am just rambling at this point. Also, it comes with the Sister since once she was a damage dealer, but they nerfed her into her current role. I judge fatshark for that. I heard what she used to be, and that sounded like quite some fun. Liches. The easiest special to dodge. Ah, finally, my favorite class, Sister of the thorns. I really like to use the thicc walls btw. When used well, they help immensely. Like, you are surrounded near a wall? place the wall next to it to turn a "wall" into a "corner" for next 10 seconds. Or, if a whole patrol is going for the souls of your team, if they go through a corridor you can block part of them off. Outside of that, fun fact - her staff lifts any enemy for 8 seconds, except CWs - 4 seconds. And finally, Sienna. About Fire Sword - its first Charged attack is actually considered a shield bash. Dont ask me why, no idea either. But that is why she can get so much thp without a "shield" weapon. Also, conflagnation staff. Yeah, its damage is low, but the charged version can stagger most elites even if you dont charge it at all. I heard some use it solely for that purpose. Pyromancer. Maybe you havent heard, but she got a glorious rework. Now she is way more powerful. Essentially, Battle Wizard is sienna doing both melee and ranged, Unchained focused on Melee, and Pyromancer focused on ranged. Beam staff. It has actually a third attack. First one is the shotgun, where you hold the right button and press the left one. Second is the beam, that you get if you hold the left button. And the third is a short burst of damage, that you get if you press right click during the beam attack. And the longer you beamed the last target, the more powerful this attack gets. Also, beam attack leaves a very, VERY powerful burning damage. Seriously, I've seen people melt bosses with it. Though, you have to hold the beam on target for at least 2 second for the main DoT to begin. So, this is actually not the worst staff. Welp, finally we went to the end. Honestly, I wrote this not to make you correct errors in the video, just thought some tips would make some classes for you more enjoyable, like 3rd saltspyre, now that you know about healing bonus. Or any class with stagger thp talent. Hope the game will be as fun for you as it is for me. Good luck)

@drendy155010 ай бұрын
Hope it helped Also, thought I should tell you, why stagger is so especially good on shield weapons While any weapon can stagger, you only get thp from stagger if your attack doesnt outright kill your enemy. So, weapons like Great Hammer, despite hitting a lot of enemies, only produce hp if you attack a crowd of 5+ enemies. Shield bash though deal very little damage, but to all enemies hit. Also, what I said about shield bash hitting infinite enemies, the game sees it a bit different. Shield bash only hits the first enemy, after that it works like an explosion with small radius and big radius. So, if you try shield bashing with a cleave thp talent, it will only give you 1 thp. Despite holding back entire hordes. And the reason, why stagger talent is so good at giving thp, is because it is not directly limited. The crit/headshot talent only gives 2-4 hp per strike, kill talent is tied to how well you kill stuff, and cleave has a stupid limit of 5 per strike. Stagger, on the other hand, gives you hp per every enemy you staggered with your attack, with no cap on amount of enemies. Which in turn makes shields shine. Anyway, I am glad it helped you. Also, it would be nice to hear your impression on thing you have missed before. Would make me feel a little bit proud of myself)
