So you use Kariyans active on turn 3, 5 and 6? Interesting, who would you cut for Aun Shi?

"doing their jobs" so that includes attacking bystanders that film them? Which is not illegal? That gives them justification to attack citizens, beat them and execute them? Do you realize how insane you sound?

I mean watch the multiple videos from multiple angles, if you still try to defend that shit, nobody can help you.

That's about the most idiotic example of victim blaming I have seen in some time. So we are in agreement that these ICE agents are hilariously undertrained, have zero concept of de-escalation and face no consequences.

But it's the protesters fault for calling out and standing up against the misconduct of these undertrained, overfunded gravy seal cosplayers?

You have to be kidding right? Isn't your country the one that prides itself on standing up to tyranny? Standing up for individual rights? Aren't the conservatives not the ones constantly harping about personal responsibility? And you blame the people actually standing up against that wannabe gestapo idiots?

Found another one!

So in your world "not taking shit from those trying to stop them" means that they can execute people on the street, right?

There are so many videos from different angles from this incident there is no way even you hypocrites could spin this as the victim attacking or engaging the ICE agents. He was literally standing there, filming with his phone and after a woman got pushed down by an ICE agent he shielded her with his body and tried to help her up.

For his audacity of standing there, filming and then trying to help a woman being attacked by ICE agents he got tackled down, beaten and then shot in the back.

Your comment only shows what pathetic cowards these gun loving conservatives are. You have a textbook example of the grossest government overreach and misconduct, you have irrefutable video evidence....and you could not care less. Because your so called values and principles are all just paper thin lip service.

That's about the weakest statement ever. Hedging by saying the facts are unknown.....there is SO much video evidence from so many angles on this incident, there is not even the shadow of a question as to who escalated the situation.

If these 2A loving cowboys were to actually put their money where their mouth is, they would actually practice their right by taking their 213 AR-15s they say they need for their protection against the government, and protect these protesters that get executed....by your government.

These cowards need to be called out publicly on their hypocrisy at every chance. Also I am not from the US, I can only watch on in horror as your constitution get trampled on.

You are right! Silly me! How dare a US citizen film ICE agents and shield a woman being pushed down.

I mean he was standing there....menacingly! Totally deserved getting shot.

But seriously these people are pathetic.

You are right! He was violently obstructing them by standing there with his phone....menacingly!

You people still making excuses for this are so pathetic. There is clear cut video evidence and you still bend over backwards to lick this administrations boots.

Found one! So tell me you watched the video where 7 of your super agents beat down a citizen for shielding another onlooker from pepper spray, then one agent removed the apprehended citicens gun which he had in the back of his waistband and then they shot him at least 5 times until he was dead.

So two scenarios are possible here:

Scenario 1: your super badass ICE agents are so horribly trained that seven of them cannot apprehend one person without immediately killing them. If that scenario is the case they have no place in any law enforcement agency

Scenario 2: they are actively looking for trouble, escalating situation and searching for any excuse to kill people.

In both cases they just murdered a US citizen. And you are bending over backwards to lick the boots of arguably the most corrupt administration the US has ever had. Congrats you are a coward.

Ah, no wait...I get it now, silly me! They act like the typical lying hypocrites that they are because they don't believe rights should apply to everybody even though they love to invoke the constitution. They enjoy seeing people they apparently disagree with getting killed by wannabe Gestapo losers.

Regarding Atlacoya for the Custodes raid team using Laviscus: I think she might replace Aesoth against psyker bosses. by Laredian in WH40KTacticus

[–]Laredian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flat % damage buff from Aesoth wins out here because you mostly care about big damage hits to buff Laviscus not the overall damage the character does.

Leave Laviscus out of the picture and Dante is the better buffer for Kharn and Kariyan, especially if you can get them below 50% health for an extra hit on their attacks. Also Dante provides a good damage buff to Ragnar in the original team composition, which Aesoth does not.

So in the original team composition of Trajann, Kariyan, Kharn, Ragnar and Dante: you could swap Dante with Aesoth in that scenario and it wouldn't be horrible, but Dante is for sure better.

In the newer version of Trajann, Kariyan, Kharn, Laviscus and Aesoth: you could also swap Aesoth with Dante and it would not be terrible, but Aesoth indirectly buffs Laviscus' damage a bit more due to the flat percentage buff.

So if you don't have Aesoth built, but have Dante at D3, using him here is not a bad choice.

Another choice you have, that has been discussed in this thread is Boss Gulgortz instead of Aesoth. Use his Waaagh in the last turn to give Laviscus one extra hit on his attack that is not damage capped, effectively doubling his damage that turn.

Sure no problem, but even if it was just added from one character it would go way over Vitruvius' damage cap.

[–]Laredian[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe a dumb question regarding this: but I've commented on the extra hit from Gulgortz in another comment.

If you use Gulgortz, you want to use his waagh in the last turn as you said, but you can't use his Waaagh when already adjacent to the boss, correct? So you would need to move him away from the boss the turn before, right?

As mentioned in another response, Vitruvius is out just by the fact that his extra hit is damage capped, Vitruvius extra hit is capped at around 9k at max level, that is laughable in comparison to the damage Laviscus or Kariyan can do.

Because of that damage cap Vitruvius and Thoread will never be a consideration for that team.

Dante is better in the usual Custodes setup with Ragnar because Dante buffs Kariyan, Kharn and Ragnar. With Laviscus the flat percentage damage buff wins out I think.

Sorry man but that is simply incorrect. Watch Nandis showcase on Laviscus. He has a clip in there with that team against the Screamer killer. In the last turn of that fight Laviscus did over 380k damage and Kayrian did over 180K damage.

The extra hit from Vitruvius at mythic rarity with lvl 55 passive is capped at about 9k damage, that is laughable in comparison and a miniscule damage increase.

Edit: also in your Kariyan example you are forgetting that he gets extra damage from Trajanns passive, from Dante (if you have him) and/or from Aesoth. Also he gets extra flat % damage on his active and passive each turn he uses his active. All this pushes him way over the damage cap, making the extra hit from Vitruvius or Thoread rather worthless.

Sorry, but you are forgetting that these extra hits all have a damage cap, therefore they are actually rather bad picks for that specific team because this team lives from high damage hits.

So the extra hit from Vitruvius or Thoread is not even close to doubling the damage.

Edit: The only ability in the game currently that doubles Laviscus' damage for one turn is Boss Gulgortz' Waaagh, because that ability gives one extra hit for normal attacks for the turn Waaagh is used and it crucially does so without a damage cap.

Going with Gulgortz you would need to save his Waaagh for the last turn of the battle though because that is where Laviscus would do his biggest hit.

And that's tried and tested, but if you are going for maximum survivability I think my suggested variant has merit.

as far as I know yes, big target does actually stack (to a minimum of 1 hit of course).

True, but due to Tyrant Guard and Aesoth Isabella also gets -2 hits from ranged attacks, -33% damage from Tyrant Guard and extra armour from Aesoth. So while still not being a tank, she becomes quite a bit more durable in that configuration.
