[@mitchellgilbertson290]

As a zealot main and relatively new player, the extra in depth responses and reasoning behind all of your build choices have gone a long way in helping me understand the game so much better than a ton of guides out there that simply tell you how to stat items and how to allocate talent points. Keep up the good work, here's a like and a subscribe!

[@1337billybob]

I am also new to the game. Really great tree. I kept trying to make the reload buff work for that class. "Emperors Bullet" for impact strength and attack and the reload speed from kills doesn't seem to be worthwhile even with an agrippina revolver with the very fast fire rate when ADSing/alt firing. Just doesn't work with the other skills I took that virtually match this tree.

[@panossyle1710]

Fan fact but most probably known by this point, when you attack the enemy with a revved heavy attack and activate fury of the faithful while it shreds through the enemy,it will deal, more damage than usual. As always man great built for the zealot. Keep up the good work.

[@FlokiDargo]

Also good way to get that Prentice on charging a mutant at full heavy.

[@Floridamangaming729]

I like how your builds aren’t “meta” builds but just builds that are fun to play. This build looks like so much fun.

[@nobah8131]

14:23 Could be a scene from a movie, holy shit that was a boss move!

[@cedlala]

Congrats on your 1000 subs! Your builds really deserve to be seen!

[@cyanide7270]

The thing that i think really ties this build together is having a rank 4 Shred on the Tigrus. It narrows the gap with Blazing Piety, and with the vast attack speed buffs you get, you could make 15 attacks with this build compared to the 10 youd make with Blazing Piety, giving more chances of having crits proc. Plus, Piety doesnt give the large damage reduction OR damage dealing increases you get from Martyrdom. Martyrdom was my favourite build pre-rework, and its once again become my favourite post rework.

[@aresix8239]

I feel like the only guy who uses the crit eviscerator with the blessing that ignors hit mass on critical hits. That thing shreds through hordes, regardless of what thise hordes are made up of. I love it.

[@verdigo1]

I've got one with that blessing and it slaps!

[@joseph1981]

These build videos slap incredibly hard. You're one of the few youtubers that actually got me hooked with the "like and subscribe" shpeel. Good luck on hitting 2K! :>

I'm subscribing, this is the most chill Darktide video I've seen. The build works great for me, I just need toi get the blessings right. Darn plasteel keeps running out....

[@ballbuster1681]

17:19 nice bit of dialogue that I've never heard

[@Slugonthese]

Don’t normally thumbs up videos but you got one for this build. Worked so good for me my first match I carried my team through the whole match. Everyone went down and I was last alive and I was able to get two back and the 3rd died but aye. We still won

[@l0nerstalker]

Picked this game up in the weekend and glad to see the perks I've invested in are heading towards this build with the only variation being I went for the throwing daggers instead of the stun grenades for more big single target damage. Will see how viable they are late game, but at the moment I'm liking them for the ability to 1 tap most elite enemies

[@jamiekay4210]

Really fun build. Thanks for sharing! I don't usually like the wound build zealots, but this one has served me well so far in the few games I've used it. I've not been able to find a great revolver for my zealot yet, unfortunately, but the one I do have has glory hunter 3 on it, and I find it works pretty well for regenerating an extra bit of toughness in a pinch.

[@TMmaster4]

glory hunter provides a lot of sustain in big fights, seems like a lot of people overlook it though

[@jamiekay4210]

@@TMmaster4 It is one of the more overlooked blessings, I agree.

[@Alex-gn6ii]

Las pistol has toughness on crit blessing available. I find that one to be a much better pairing with the eviscerator and other good vs armor melee weapons. Revolver goes best with the swords imo. But the shotguns with full bore and stagger dmg blessings are my favorite lately

[@Target135]

Your build made me actually like my zealot. Was previously rocking a mrk 2 hammer more supportive build and it just felt terrible. Had to always heavy attack, swinging super slow. This fast swinging constant charging in is fantastic!

[@Target135]

I JUST hit 30 and don’t have good weapons and perks yet, so I’ll just say I found that the combat knife works really well since my crit isn’t as high as it should be, swinging way faster adds more crits. I basically have 100% uptime on Fury of the Faithful

[@gadenp81]

There is just so many ways you can cut it. But thanks confirm my choices and made me choose the some diff small nodes.

[@Troupe_Master]

I love the eviscerator Soo much Soo this will be amazing

[@juanpch2175]

Sounds like the Knife Zealot from back then, I remember they had 75% damage resistance for abusing knife crits

[@Cederlof_Ink]

Going to try this out tonight mate, your swinger build was an awesome addition to my vet builds and I love playing it super aggressively. This one looks fun for my zealot!

[@Tyrgalon]

Created a similar build a while back but going: Duellist+ Blazing piety > Fury rising > righteus warrior This gives you insane crit chance and crit damage wich goes completely out of control when you have some enemy density leading to: Endless crits > endless bleeds > endless ability cooldown = New fury of the faitfull every 1-3 seconds depending on how many enemies you are hitting at the same time I have been stuck in the middle of hordes with maniacs and maulers/crushers (do have to dodge them a bit) and not taken any damage because im constantly stunning and recharging my toughness with infinate charges

[@hawtsauce1122]

I literally just watched a guide from RealAsianRobot explaining how the mar keystone is probably the worst in the entire game and many nodes you chose are basically really bad too lol he said if you build to get damage you doing something wrong, dont get damaged in the first place 🤷‍♂️

[@varlmorgaine3700]

God damned that is awesome ... tried it and its fun makes realy awesome dmg and gives you much more survivability then you think. Play since weekend and i really appreciate the work you put in your videos

[@P4DDY_L4D98]

I'm faithfull-freddie, this is nearly my build. I'm the "Critically Dodgy Evisirator" build, dodges and crits do the work in a frenzied priest dance. Free bird in the church

[@Distached-Savage]

I finally finished my unlimited stealth( kinda in a sense ) zealot build that’s immune to ranged dmg ( immune while sprinting ) it’s a fun build I run a combat knife and infantry auto gun with all +1 wounds and have ability regen on all plus toughness regen. I run behind hoards killing off gunners and elites going in and out invis constantly since I can get invis back instantly but you have to have a good team for it to work knowing they can handle brunt of the hoard. If one goes down I just get them up easy. But the build is thin glass unless your actually good combat and strategy working the hoards. It not my favorite zealot build though. Oh I also feel like the throwing knife’s got weaker recently, I rely on them a lot

[@patrickoyoung5326]

Great video. Been running this build (diff weapons tho) since the class update; it's great fun.

[@ivankenobenko5554]

Since with Fury of the faithful any gun is viable against crushers i recommend to try guns with Stripped Down blessing (Gain Ranged Attack Immunity while sprinting with over 50-80% Stamina) to just get close to those gunners/shotgunners/snipers and deal with them in melee.

[@juhumamamam3768]

love the music, great video dude and ty Im new to darktide and was looking just for a video like this

[@georgeacethomas4145]

About to give this a go with an Eviscerator and a Vraks head hunter VII, I’ve been using that with surgical and either deadly accurate 90+ weak spot damage or another critical chance blessing as you have about 200 rounds to get the toughness damage reduction on, but yeah this build looks fun like I said bout to give it a go 🙌

[@SJ-wz5hz]

In the name of the god emperor of mankind I thank you for this build.

gonna try this build, i have same evscrator and revolver, I recently tried tank and sup build with this 2 weap but lets see this. Thanks for the video! (I'll try in auric maelstrom)

[@nightly2005]

What is the music at 2:03 ? It right at the tip of my tongue, but I cant remember.

[@ZuRekka]

i would swap the mk 2 for the newer variant. I run sorta the same build with more focus on toughness and blazing piety instead. I didnt try out scourge as of yet so j will when i get home. But I think blazing piety will be more fitting for those who dont want to play that high risk bigh reward style. Its kind of like a comfort thing i would day for myself

[@seangallagher9435]

Does anyone watching on a phone notice how the 360 sound can be heard in the gameplay segment? The veteran to the left talked and it came from the speakers on the top of the phone

[@susanlarson9779]

Still an awesome build

was waiting for a zealot build , been leveling up all my classes to these builds and has felt very good.

[@sualgoodman7726]

with a help of weapon modification mod i use scope and laser sight on my quickdraw and i can say i don't need to play veteran anymore

[@holmesholmes.8784]

dont be fool by rampage 35%. Its bugged right now and it has an extra 50% damage buff from its old version

[@Dirtychindu]

In your gameplay, why just left-click spam into hordes? I play a lot of eviscerator (not on damnation), and find heavy-light-light to be really good at horde management. Take less damage and stagger more. Do you find that just light attacking is better or is it more necessary for the hardest difficulty?

[@mixmaster6827]

Dumb question, but what does the 4/4 on the hud mean? I’ve seen it a couple of times without explanation.

[@BriggsoYT]

It's a mod called NumericUI that shows you how many dodges you have until dodging becomes ineffective

[@justvo4570]

Yo we should play together, what do you play on?

[@alz722]

Hi Great Video that build looks pretty serious. How do you get the scoreboard at the end and the coherancey counter? Thanks.

[@anthonytsakalos8597]

Quick question since I have not played for a few days, are the health bars, bullet and damage counters a mod or are they new patches?

[@effive7817]

Mod

[@Marko_492]

What is the 4/4 in the middle of the screen?

[@ATinyWaffle]

This may be a dumb question, but what setting makes it so you can see your damage numbers and the time left on your ability cooldown? I couldn't find it in the settings. Or is it a mod?

Mod. Numeric UI, I believe?

[@megualgonzalez3955]

How do you get the health bars? I’ve checked all my settings and I feel dumb so please someone brake it down for me(dancings fine too)

[@BriggsoYT]

You can do this by modding the game. If you're on PC I have a video detailing the process on my channel. If your on xbox, you cannot do it unfortunately

[@megualgonzalez3955]

@@BriggsoYT thank you very much definitely will check it out

[@SteebRNR]

what are the numbers in the middle of the scree? 2/3 ecc

[@BriggsoYT]

I use the NumericUI mod that displays a lot of handy information. That number on screen relates to the amount of dodges you have with that weapon until your dodges become ineffective. If you're on PC and you're interested in installing mods, I have a video on my channel detailing how you can install them 😀

[@Mech-Badger-Man]

I’m wondering if this would be a good use for the 100% crit chance after revved kill…

[@VoidDustMuffin]

You can run it if you prefer but it's a little redundant. Fury of the Faithful(the charge ability) already gives you a 100% crit chance to start encounters off and swinging your weapon you're building up crit. And one thing Briggso didn't mention is that Zealot has a hidden base 5% crit chance, so his build give up to 55% total crit chance per hit. Now, if you want even higher crit, you can swap martyrdom for Blazing Piety, the keystone on the left side, which can get you an additional 25% crit. That's the one I use alongside a knife with Mercy Killer and Flesh Tearer. It's effective as well but be careful to stay near your team. High speed and high damage are a hell of a drug, and many a knife zealot has thrown a match because they ran ahead and spawned a monstrosity when their squad is still pinned by 11 gunners in the previous room.

[@cameronburton7825]

How do you get the setting to see enemy health? Can’t find it for the life of me

It's the mod 'Numeric UI' on Nexus. Easy to install, and is deemed okay to use by Fatshark.

[@BriggsoYT]

Blazing piety is good, but I wanted the best of both worlds with this build.

[@Mech-Badger-Man]

Attack speed technically helps with getting crits…

[@cartermiller6694]

@@Mech-Badger-Man I'm talking about blazing piety

[@cyanide7270]

Yes, we do, but heres the thing. With this build, you can still get 57.5% crit chance with the nodes and a rank 4 Shred, 62.5% if you rolled crit chance on the Eviscerator. While the extra 25% you get from Blazing Piety is 'nice' taking you up to 82-87% crit chance, thats ALL you get from it. With 6 martyrdom stacks, you get a whopping 48% more base damage, 24% extra attack speed, AND 30% toughness damage reduction. With the extra attack speed, youll also be able to say make 13 attacks in the same amount of time a Blazing Piety build would make 10 attacks, giving more chances to proc crits all on top of having a flat higher base damage number for those crits to feed off of. Lets use my Eviscerator for example. not taking armour into account, at 80% damage itll do 289 on a light attack Last i heard, the Eviscerators crit damage modifier was 33%, which means a Blazing Piety build would do 384 damage on a standard crit. The Martyrdom build, increasing its base damage to 428, will deal 568 on a crit. The extra attack speed also closes the gap between attacks to crit cahnce per hit, 8 out of 10 hits, and 8 (rounded up) out of 13 hits. Piety = 8/10 attacks could be crits = 428 x 8 = 3424 Martyr = 8/13 attacks could be crits = 568 x 8 = 4544 Having such low health is risky, yes, but overall the build does a lot more damage than a Piety build would. Piety would be better used with an axe or dagger

[@effive7817]

@@cyanide7270"the nodes" Theres one crit chance node on the entire Zealot tree, ingoring Keystone: the 10-30% crit chance on hit on bleeding enemy (Scourge). Unfortunately, the Eviscerator and this build suffers from success, the dead enemy you just one shot doesn't count as bleeding. And the enemy you 2shot only counts if your first hit was a crit, which if you crit it first hit...it might just 1shot it.... This makes 25% from base zealot and shred much, much more consistent than other 30%(Scourge). Ignoring special attack, the only thing you're going to be hitting 10 times and isn't dead are crushers(depending) monstrosities, and assassination bosses. Crushers depending on whether or not you're heavy attacking. Light attacking crushers can be nice since it keeps you mobile, especially when there is a whole damn squad of them, theres value in doing that if you're prioritizing safety. Its generally better to balance your assessments not just on best-case scenario comparisons, but on between damage numbers, hits to kill, and averages. Depending on the quality of your eviscerator, you'll generally only "need" a few stacks to one shot a lot of things you'd 2shot, and cutting down ogryns/mutants,ragers in a less swing or two is pretty comfortable. The primary value in matyrdom eviscerator is the attack speed, since, in my experience, the blazing piety hits-to-kill is very similar if you aren't comparing max/zero-stacks matyrdom. Which sure, if you're good enough at the game to purposely lower yourself to 1 wound and just win everytime, go for it, but I'm normal. Comparing 2-4 stacks of Matyrdom with Piety(which is basically 100% uptime) is a very similar number of hits to kill on average. The biggest difference is the matyrdom attack speed. If i still need 1-3 hits to kill something, hitting it faster means it dies faster. Piety also applies to ranged damage, so if your friend is a Veteran main and you like to preach Dakka while you eviscerate, its good there too.
