Vermintide 2 Team Strategies: A Balanced Team

[@torbyhormthegiant6748]

So ummm I noticed that Saltzpyre wasn't in the thumbnail.......... H E R E S Y

[@TizzmantineUK]

I really appreciate this, I've always been interested in the vermintide games but V2 has been filling the post Elden ring void for me and I can't stop playing

[@EduardoBarros13]

I'm a console player and I just came back to the game after like 3 months. Lots of changes. The Castle DLC wasn't there when I left, and we had no cosmetic store. I'm liking it. I'm a Bardin main, basically because I'm a tank main in every game I play, being support my second favored role. I love his staggering potencial, but the great axe... Oh boy! The damage! It's Iron Breaker (Great Hammer)>Ranger Veteran (Dual Hammer)>Slayer (Great Axe) for me, but I'm loving to rediscover the Ranger. Felling SO GOOD to play him with the Crossbow! I was able complete my first 6 Legend runs on Iron Breaker. Some on Great Hammer and some on Great Axe. If you don't have it on the channel yet, I would love to watch a better explanation about the Talents. I've found myself in toeuble about Running Roots Deep and Ranger Reaper recently. I never knew that THP in stagger was bad for clear waves. If they die on hit, it doesn't count. I always felt it wrong. Anyway, nice videos. I'm glad I've found your channel recently. Keep up!

[@WetMagic]

Welcome back to the game! If you’re interested in talent explanations I have at least 1 build video for every character. It’s all in a nice little playlist on my channel too. Check that out if you want. Thanks for the kind words though.

[@AriaZeno]

Which console? If it’s on PS4 I can offer some help. I constantly play on legend and the group I play with lacks a Bardin most of the time.

[@EduardoBarros13]

@@AriaZeno I'm on Xbox, but thanks. Felling home now. Can't play anything else but this game. Damn!

[@KRIMZONMEKANISM]

I'd say this team comp lacks some boss and elite killing abilities, especially when dealing with Chaos Warriors and other armor clad/shielded enemies. For that reason, I'd say that if you team has such horde/tank builds, then just go for the full Ranged damage dealer. Bounty Hunter and Outcast Engineer are usually very weak classes by themselves, but with so many tanks, you can focus on mowing down the big bois, and help carry the team to victory.

[@LesbianWitchAcademia]

I've noticed that Ironbreaker is BY FAR the easiest career to play and contribute well on. You don't have to do anything fancy, and your stats on end screen won't look super impressive, but Ironbreaker is just a BEAST in game. I really do feel completely unstoppable when playing him, especially with Oi! Wazzok! allowing me to just keep a monster in place for several seconds while my team just waylays it.

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

It also seems that pushing enemies makes them more aggressive towards you, which adds additional utility to running a tanky class like ironbreaker or foot knight with a shield. You can take pressure off your team by making more enemies focused on you.

[@piercingblue3657]

You forgot another important role, what about boss dps? As a Mercenary main I do believe Kruber is not effective against bosses and every character you have are all weak against bosses/monsters.

[@567LaZeR567]

I was about to say the same thing. In my opinion I would change handmaiden with shade. I think this will complete the dream team.

[@WetMagic]

Interesting point. Although, I think with bardin’s monster taunt talent it would be fine. Handmaiden is honestly not too shabby against a monster, but yea a shade would probably be better for that specifically.

[@hurambar]

Bounty Hunter with double shotted. He's pretty good at landing headshots. If you're playing Merc, Ironbreaker, Footknight, Unchained or any horde focused or tank class, then consider BH Saltz.

[@nolan5189]

Go for grail knight now hoarde elite and boss killer. Killing specials hes some times to slow

[@ArtimusJorga]

That's for sure a good team. Maybe more defensive than balanced? been doing pretty good in cata with just godbreaker as tank and 3 dps. Keep up the good work!

[@WetMagic]

Thanks! and yea I think i did lean a little defensive in this one.

[@SaxyFu]

Can you explain why you take Lingering Flames over Famished Flames on the Battle Wizard? I usually take Famished with the Conflagration staff since it feels like stacking the DoTs does more damage than the single permanent burn, but I haven’t properly tested it out. Also, since everyone else will have good melee damage, I think the 30% direct damage reduction is a good trade off, especially if you’re using the flame sword or dagger to stagger enemies while igniting them in the process.

[@WetMagic]

Sure yea. Famished is absolutely really good for legend. You do nice damage and kill stuff ezpz. However, if we’re talking weaves, or cata, or just an inexperienced or not fully leveled team lingering makes life really easy. This team specifically leans more defensive so being able to have everything die eventually is nice. You also do less ff I believe.I think it works great on legend, but so does famished if you wanna use that I’m sure it’d be fine. On cata I would not use famished though it doesn’t scale terribly well.

[@SaxyFu]

Wet Magic Thanks! I haven’t played on Cataclysm yet, so I’ll keep that in mind.

[@ModestHandshake]

sienna main, pyromancer specifically bolt staff and dagger with a crit chance/crit dmg, love the play style based on stacking overcharge forcing you to switch between mid and close range CC, keeps it real interesting ;) loving the content keep it up! excellent point in the vid about the conflag staff, my aims alright but i constantly have issues with teammates dodging and strafing into my line of fire, throws off the overcharge build real bad, conflag staff just goes around them, never thought about that

[@WetMagic]

pyro is cool. I have a few other teams lined up for her though 😁

[@ModestHandshake]

@@WetMagic hell yeah looking forward to it

[@twalters63]

Great Info! Some questions about "re-roll properties": In your examples, you have the same Necklace (Crux of the Martial Ideal) on all the characters, is that the only necklace that can re-roll the properties shown? Reason I ask is because I have the Necklace "Fetish of Morr" (power level 300 Orange), but after re-rolling 30 times, I haven't seen that combination of properties or stats (+20 Health/+30 Block cost Reduction). Also, after 200 hours of play, I've only seen 2 red weapon drops (Kerillian is at level 35 +38), is that normal? Playing a lot of Champion games, but stable players are hard to find (including me, LOL).

[@WetMagic]

Rerolling is kind of random and can be a pain. Basically just keep doing it and eventually you will get what you want. It is not limited to the name of the necklace though. Any jewelry can have any combination. Check this list for possible combinations > vermintide2.gamepedia.com/Properties

[@axelwedelin92]

Nice. My friends and I are running IB, Merc, me on HM but our fourth is a BH instead of Sienna.

[@Johnvardas]

Nice build but boss damage is a bit low isn't it?

[@jonathanrichard582]

For my dream team ill pic waystalker for special at range with a glaive the mercenary as an all rounder with ex sword with the assit thing on it and the revive special and the amulet to share potion effect the witchunter for crits and the engineer with the troll torpedo for all hardskin stuff

[@jonathanrichard582]

You can go grail knigth with the wide sweep special on him with the warrior priest with the shared bubble the engineer with the torpedo and the waystalker that way the 2 melee will do bubble damage on bosses while being protected from friendly fire and the boss will take the knigth special the torpedo the waystalker shot too just by seting foot in

[@07kilswitch]

Looks good i would definitly play the first 2 in any team comp but think you lack alot of damage against monsters. Would like either throw in a shade or a bounty hunter and maybe give barden the drengbarazi oath tallent as a team damage booster so you can finish lords and bosses real fast. But im no expert

[@Alex.af.Nordheim]

If u can get those charged heavy headshots with the ex sword, kruber is actually decent in dealing with monsters. And yes the drengbarazi oath is the talent I personally use to boost my teams damage on monsters (or patrals, if they trigger them)

[@illturralli]

Me and my pals have been using, grailknight heavy hitter build, waystalker with shared hp/t skill and staying ranged, unchained with 30temp hp per ult witg flail and burning enemies can explode. Then finally ranger veteran with pisol and hp regen ulti. Everyone will be using natural bond and 25% chanse not to consume healing item. Grailknight hp/t, kerillian hp/t plus nb will regen hp so fast healing items will almost never be needed most often. We have cleave, we have a nuke, we have special hunter and elite killer. Its an excellent combo.

[@Silverdaay]

Why does your pyro leave traces of fire when you fire with your staff ? Mine doesn't do that (same staff and same upgrades)

[@WetMagic]

Probably because this is a battle wizard with the lingering flames talent which keeps enemies burning until they die. So what you're seeing is just them burning. Pyro doesn't have anything like that so you wouldn't see it on her.

[@Silverdaay]

@@WetMagic ooooops I meant battle wizard and not pyro

[@Sallafar]

thanks for the great guide. Did the Introduction of the Outcast Engineer change this lineup in your Opinion?

[@WetMagic]

You're welcome. I don't think so. Bardin's role here is to be tanky and stagger things. Engi is not enough of a tank.

[@Sallafar]

@@WetMagic Certainly not. but I thought he might be enough of a DD to switch for example Markus to tank

[@nolan5189]

Is this before exe nerf or after

[@MirdenLayra]

I have a BIG doubt since my first day in Vermintide 2... Hope someone can solve it ;o Does the amount of power you have apply to all bots regardless of the weapon they have? Or they amount of power it's independent..? Why I'm asking this? If I put an increase If I put an increase in power in the talents, will it go up? Or does his power statistic not move because it is determined by the amount I have? And well, I have another lol hope someone read this🤞 will help me a looooot. In some talents it says "headshots", are this just for distance weapons? Or does it also refer to melee..? If u read this, thanks, and I hope you can help me, I only play with bots and I'm trying to have a victory in legend hehe have a good day!! Sorry if my English is bad :p great video by the way!!

[@kgmaralit]

How did u get so many reds? What difficulty should i farm? Legend or cata?

[@WetMagic]

cata gives the same rewards as legend. stick to leg or champ and try to get all the books and as many loot die as you can. this will give you a more rare chest with a higher chance of getting a red.

[@brunowalkowiak3432]

Great vid, is this still viable today with the same weapons, etc with all the changes?

[@WetMagic]

Thanks. It sure is!

When I was leveling my shieldmaiden I realy liked the sword and dagger, odd since I'm a shield guy.

[@_Claymen_]

Nice compilation, i think the Slayer fit more than the ironbreaker. (I'm a slayer main, so my opinion is a little bit impartial :) ) May i have a question? I see you use mods, nad you can use mode in online with player or it's only for custom game?

[@WetMagic]

you can use them online with other players
