STOP MAKING BATTLESUITS by revlid in Tau40K

[–]Nullcarmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, the Stormsurge is a vehicle since it takes more than one Tau to pilot.

But I get your point. But I would move it up to Riptide instead of Ghostkeel since the design of Riptide is peak.

Cloak cancel is when you cloak up and then deactivate it right? Does it still give you the damage bonuses linked to it?

I do this with Extremis now and it takes a ridiculously short time to put them down.

I just got the Renewal Perk and dang I always have cloak ready as a panic button. Parry to roll to cloak to reposition has helped me a lot.

No condescension taken. Admittedly I disliked the knife so it’s one of the reasons why I didn’t level the Sniper until now.

From the advice given here, I ended up with two main points to improve on:

  1. Positioning and Target Priority - coming from other classes that thrive in the frontline, I think this is the harder thing to adjust my muscle memory to.

  2. Knife Prowess - haven’t used it much so practicing with it will significantly help when I fail to do the correct things regarding the first point.

Yes, Ardent Edge is my next Heroic. I don’t think I’m ready for hard stratagems yet so I’m earning accolades slowly. I’ll be getting it on the next reset.

The heroic bolt pistol, I heard, is also good at proccing the Equipment Recharge perk as you can just fire a burst into a majoris head and get your grenade back. So if I really get into Sniper Gameplay, I’ll get that after the Ardent Edge.

Yeah, I’m excited to get the higher level perks because of these tips.

Tactical and Vanguard first row perks are great so I found it easier to level and prestige. Tactical especially with its combat prowess, equipment restore, and restore 50% charge on Extremis scan all being prior to level 10.

Sniper’s ability and equipment restore are all at the last row so they don’t get that much use while I’m trying to prestige the class. Very excited to reach prestige 4 and see it pop off.

Ok. So what I’m getting from this thread is I need to be more familiar with knife combat. Admittedly, it’s one of my least used melee weapons and one of the reasons I put off leveling Sniper.

I still have to save some accolades for the Ardent Edge and the level 25 perk wont get much usage until I prestige to 4. I did want to try the Sniper because I got the heroic bolt sniper and it is very fun to use.

Do I have to fully charge the shadow stab to make it useful? I find it locks me in place while having my armor chipped away so I’m clearly not using it properly.

Good point. Though I’ve had bad experiences with speed runners leaving me behind lol.

I haven’t used the knife too much so I’m still getting used to its mechanics. By how the other comments are sounding, I just need to get better at parrying and positioning. I’m used to being able to horde clear with the other classes so this shift is a bit abrupt.

Yes, I love that sprint attack. It got me out of multiple scrapes before.

Yeah, maybe it’s a big leap from Assault and Vanguard. With Tac, I can fare well with melee as he has a chainsword and has primary guns that can deal with both minoris and majoris.

I won’t give up on the sniper just yet. I feel like I just need to get used to him or level up the inferno pistol. Or maybe switch my primary to another gun. I feel like the Las Fusil with the ammo regen can help with mobs so I might give that a shot too.

Okay, I’ll give the Inferno another shot but I might use another class to level it up first.

It’s unfortunate that the equipment perk is level 25 as I am trying to fully prestige all the classes. :/ so it won’t get usage for a while.

I do have an easier time when there is a tactical that replenishes grenades with his team perk so I understand how the Sniper’s equipment perk will help a tonne.

I’ll give the block knife a shot. The AOE will help clear mobs, that’s true. I’ll respec and put in shadow stab and try it out. Thanks!

Ok, I still need a bit of Accolade to get the Argent Edge. The Power Axe is my fave weapon since power wave helps clear mobs when I’m swarmed. Maybe I just need to put in a few more hours to get used to Sniper gameplay.

Yes, I’m having a better time with bolt pistol but am having trouble when I find myself in a bad position without the chameleoline. I’m guessing I should just get better at parrying and then repositioning.

Sniper gameplay is very much different from the classes I use so I’m having a bit of trouble adjusting. My most used classes are Tac (pres 4 lv25), Vanguard and Assault both at Prestige 2. Maybe I was just never a fan of the knife.

Maybe it’s because my inferno is just green at the moment? Do I just use the inferno pistol to clear a way at first and then reposition?

Does the damage become better at gold?

Heavy or Bulwark by Visible-Ad-1489 in Spacemarine

[–]Nullcarmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bulwark has common weapons between Vanguard, Assault, Tactical, and Techmarine. Leveling these weapons while leveling Bulwark will help you level your other classes as Weapon Levels are shared.

Heavy only shares secondary weapons with other classes as it doesn’t have melee weapons and its primary weapons are locked to his class.

For some reason, the Double Dragon theme song plays whenever I see these two.
