Melee combos are important to discuss, and I appreciate you putting a segment about it in your video. As a Dark Souks Vet, I feel melee combat in general is vastly underrated for its complexity. Melee combos elevate weapons like the mark 9 heavy sword and the Mark 7 Devil Claw. The Mk 9 heavy sword has an anti-flak armor special club attack that can be paired with an overhead heavy to deal consistent heavy damage and chew through specialists. It can even be used with a Ninja Zealot for backstabs. The Mk 7 devil claw has a horde cleave combo by using one heavy, followed by one light. It has an anti specialist combo by using two heavies followed by a light. It also has a thrust with its shove. The new Catachan mk 6 knife has a backstab after a punch 👊.

I like to pair this with the plasma gun. Because the shock maul deals with most things well enough I can use it most of the time, then if I need a lot of damage fast I can quickly swap to the plasma gun and pop off a few shots, then switch back to the maul while my plasma gun cools down.

Entropic / Lighting reflexes is insane right now. There is no cool down so you can spam it. Timed push attacks count as timed blocks, if you time a block on a dog pounce the dog gets stunned. One of the best things about it in my option is stunning bulwarks, packs of ragers and getting that power boost from timed blocks against monsters. Its really good right now and will probably get changed at some point. Skullcrusher is a must pick on everything as its one of the most OP blessings in the game, pairing that with hammerblow is a sure way to get value. On max stacks of hammerblow h2 > light (repeat) applies skullcrusher to everything including crushers (Indi). The Angi's PA has giga stagger and at max stacks of hammerblow applies skullcrusher.

I dont even think everything should be op when it first releases but atleast give us good weapons cuz otherwise whats the point of us finally getting new weapons. I was more pissed ogryn didnt get any new ranged weapons and we still dont have a new staff. I understand things take time but fatshark is rather annoying. Cool ogryn has melee weapons with varied move sets but outside of that the new weapons are rather lackluster. Also we only got one new map which is disappointing and we still cant choose what map or modifier we even want to play.

I like the mace a lot. I wanted a more rounded support build for my zealot and this is perfect. Mace good for a lot but not amazing at anything. Boost team toughness and dmg. Flamer for hordes, and at first I could not let go of fire grenade as that feels like it just melts everything other than bosses, just toss 2 against strong elites. But having trowing daggers means I can deal with specials too. So I cant kill fast or do a lot but I can be the support for my team to at least keep things going smooth for everyone.

I want to like the shock maul but I feel like a weapon that focuses on staggering enemies instead of just killing them leads to getting overwhelmed as more and more enemies spawn in on you, just due to the nature of Darktide. The ability to shock e.g. Bulwarks is certainly nice but I find myself going back to swords instead most of the time.

I noticed Deimos is at the bottom of the horde table. Not sure what you are doing, but it's definitely just "mid" rather than bad at hordes. It's better at horde than the second best DT weapon - chainaxe 4 ;) I completed the "kill shitloads of enemies in one scriers" with Deimos. Unstable power is pretty weak on this sword because you won't regularly use specials, and changing to melee is triggered by what's in your face, not peril level. Any of the other power blessings is better, slaughterer especially for hordes. Precog/riposte are quite strong too. Uncanny obviously BIS. For hordes, moving the mouse left to right during L2,3,4 allows cleave of multiple enemies.

Looking at the Entropic blessing, I'm very disappointed that Fatshark is still failing at understanding the usefulness of on-block buffs/abilities. The only time blocking a melee attack happens in darktide is when you're in a really bad situation that you'd rather not get into or you're fighting ragers which now have dodge-able attacks anyways. The buffs In Vermintide 2 were way more significant and blocking was a lot more reasonable, but even then they were still very situational. The only reason on-dodge buffs aren't the same is because of how lenient the dodge system is compared to Vermintide, and the constant ranged attacks that let you proc them.

Brutal momentum and weak spot damage mixed well with the ogryns multi hit heavy toughness regen perk. The stun and lockdown mixed with ok single elite target damage was good for keeping elites supressed while my team took advantage of the window. It was a solid defensive weapon that benifited the team and could hold it's own. Now it lost a lot of the ability to stall crusher hords and feels infinitely worse.
