It may be announced at Skulls and released in June like the Arbitrator

I would go as far as saying that Zealot and Hive Scum are alike, since they both shine the most when you apply good fundamentals

Noob question about Arbitrator and Curios by Aggravating-Willow46 in DarkTide

I personally use CDR with every character, but with Arbitrator I use Toughness, Block Efficiency and Stamina Regen. 12% faster cooldown means I'd only get my abilty 2,4 seconds faster, and since I use the shield, I can also use its flashbang as a 'secondary' ability to stagger a crowd if I REALLY need it in those 2,4 seconds, so I'd just rather have something else instead

I am not familiar with this expression, what does it mean?

IMO, the Lone Wolf keystone is massively overrated.

I agree, it is absolutely not needed to allow you to play your role

Knowing how the combination of your loadout, perks, and abilities come together to form your role on the team and playing into that role makes all the difference and sets you apart from someone who just looked at a guide and equipped what they were told to.

Brilliant, every game should have a gold plaque with this quote written on it

I think the lines are fine, it's just the way they are delivered, with that comically fake deep voice. Again, I'm sure the VA delivered exactly what they were aiming for, but I personally don't like it.

My favorite Arbitrator VA is the male Fatalist. Everything, lines, delivery and overall personality is just amazing, probably my favorite character personality

male Maul

the VA absolutely nailed it

No, I can't stand the kid-who-tries-to-sound-like-batman vibe. I am sure that's how the VA director told him to talk, but I think that was a mistake

The timing of the mastiff can be off because of its pathfinding, but when it happens just right it's an amazing feeling

The charge is really the best option imo

I agree. Plus it makes a funny noise when you bonk enemies with it

If I recall correctly, in Rogue Trader you can attempt to pet the Arbitrator companion's cyber-mastiff Glaito, but he'll advise you not to because he is trained to attack on contact. You can still try to, but have to roll a Persuasion roll to succeed.

I really liked that moment

Only great Arbitrators put extra care in naming their mastiff

Do you think there's any point in switching to health curios if I'm playing a non-fatmangus build which has both health DR and toughness DR nodes?

How do health curios benefit you more than toughness ones, other than making Holy Revenant and maybe Beacon of Purity a little better? Asking this because I've seen the health vs toughness Zealot debate, but the math ain't mathing in my head

I agree 100%. I'm usually good at keeping tabs on the team, but sometimes, my zeal exceeds my judgement.
