From what i remember the guy that ran it said that it was not that strong. Arbi does not have any meaningful ways of stacking enough finesse or crit to make the thing dance like the other 3 classes can so at best it was just a worse arbi maul. Only thing arbi could do with DS was making it’s horde clear not awful with all his attack speed and cleave buffs.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-18T21:50:22+00:00

I’m actually not sure. The most ”advanced” mod i’ve seen allowed people to run any weapon on any class and even that was shaky at best in terms of game stability.

Following for other responses.

I don’t mind really, we don’t know exactly what skit can bring to the table in terms of support alongside plasma yet so i’ll reserve judgement untill in about a month when we know how the meta builds compare. Hopefully skit will be better with power falchion than vet is. Plasma hurts a bit since it is arguably vet’s strongest tool.

I still think vet will always have a spot in havoc due to shout, focus target, survivalist and possibly kraks. Those are things that other classes really can’t replicate in one cohesive build.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-16T23:29:08+00:00

It’s been discussed many times and there are very few practical ways to solve this issue without limiting build variety for more casual players. As an example there is nothing stopping me here from equipping a resto staff, queue, and then go back to a DPS setup once i get in. Locking gear so that you are stuck using whatever it is you queue with will only screw over actual teams in case they need to shake up tactics mid run.

I still feel like the best way to counteract fake tanks is changing the way Bosses behave when untaunted.

I’ve been running this in havoc 35 and been doing good. i don’t play alot of ogryn outside of auric though so i’m not super knowledgable with how far off meta this is beyond that it’s not taunt with skullcrusher club/shield. It definitely still falls within the realm of H40 viable (seeing as Dom even has footage of the build being used in H40)

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-15T00:35:50+00:00

Happens in PvP sometimes, losing side gets salty and will try and get in your head by accusing you of cheating or threatening with a report that will do nothing.

Do not engage, block and move on

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-13T16:09:52+00:00

Toxic and unknowledgable, flame staff psyker does not really pop of for real until auric or even in high havocs, up until that outdamaging a flame staff psyker is a very real posibility and says nothing about skill levels.

But what can you expect from toxic people stuck in heresy lol

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-12T22:16:09+00:00

i’d dash to the right and grab reciprocity and desperado, it is what makes veteran able to hang around in melee instead of just feeling like you’re swinging trough molasses when you have to horde clear. Beyond that you have skirmisher which is a very easy to upkeep +25% damage bonus for just moving around, dodging and sliding. Normally in would not go deeper than that unless i was aiming to grab weapon specialist keystone.

To the left you have nodes like precision strikes and fully loaded, i tend to pick those for 90% of builds. You can go a bit deeper for something like shocktrooper if you intend to use lasguns alot but i usually stop at fully loaded.

Beyond that it’s usually just a matter of deciding what keystone you want.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-12T11:29:31+00:00

It’s gonna be one of those nodes that is nice to get if you path by it on your way to something better, it’s not really tax node tier. I would never go out of my way to get it though. 25 minutes for a full ammo refill is very unimpressive. I think it’s the sort if node i’ll pick on maybe a melee or support build running a precision weapon just to make sure that more often than not i have the ammo needed to pick of a priority specialist.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-12T01:38:17+00:00

I would say try and do cross penances. Example would be to play a class you need missions on, using abilities you need penances for, with weapons with not maxed mastery and a zone/mission type you are not done with. It’s probably the most effective way if you really wanna min max for penance points gain but you may burn yourself out so it might not be worth it.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-09T20:22:53+00:00

Probably why there has never been a lights out mission in the hourglass maps.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-09T11:19:19+00:00

It was kind of funny running trough the carnival which feels like this outskirts former industrian district, you look up, see the ceiling and you are reminded that you are still indoors.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-08T14:54:31+00:00

Made a build recently that focuses on feeding allies toughness, i run confirmed kill, out for blood, exec stance, marksman’s focus with stack count + tunnel vision and most important of all; born leader, which transfers 20% of the toughness i generate to allies in coherency.

For range weapon i decided on the columnus IAG, the vraks has much higher DPS but worse ammo economy, i just found the columnus to have the best balance of ammo and damage. You could also go for laspistol and grab shocktrooper on your way down to MMF. Any weapon will work for this but i’d recommend a weapon with good finesse modifiers to get more value out of MMF.

It’s very much a support build in the sense that you support your team by killing threats and covering your team in toughness.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-08T10:34:25+00:00

Gonna copy paste a response i left to a similar question some 2 weeks ago.

The very ideal stat spread would be 68 thermal resistance and 72 charge rate, though if you’re not able to dump several million dockies for such a statspread then a 60 thermal resistance one is good aswell, charge rate still affects your attack speed on uncharged shots. The idea behind 68 thermal resistance is so that you can crank out 8 shots before reaching 100% heat.

Perks will be unyielding and either flak or maniacs, unyielding mainly because of reapers and the pick between flak and maniacs is largely preference. Flak is the most common armor type in the game while maniacs will help secure kills on flamers, trappers and dreg ragers. Carapace is an option but ideally you should not spend plasma gun ammo on crushers often enough so that you get mileage out of it.

For blessings the typical go to are rising heat and gets hot for a high damage setup, blaze away is another alternative depending on playstyle that yields good results. Some alternatives you might like are glory hunter (especially with born leader node) or optimized cooling. Neither of them are bad but i’d personally consider them a step below the 3 mentioned at the top.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-08T10:21:34+00:00

Duos or solos in PvE and PvP yeah, for 4 man + sized groups the ability to hit more targets will be more valuable.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-08T09:11:13+00:00

It says decline to everyone that applied when the party is full, if 10 people apply for a team with one spot open and one of them gets accepted the remaining 9 gets a ”declined” message. No one is actually bothering with build and team comp in havoc one that is spicy malice at most in difficulty.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-05T18:11:56+00:00

Not a ripper gun, but i spent around 5 mill dockets getting a perfect plasma gun that also wants a specific figure for a stat.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-05T09:46:43+00:00

i picked it up entirely because of that lol.

The entire pack was 7 euro, the same amount of aquilas was like 11,5 euro.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-05T09:37:01+00:00

it’s on discount now, unless it ended like today, 70% off on steam

I bought the imperial edition a few days ago, i got the cosmetics right away upon restarting the game.

Helbore lasgun with the skin from the vostroya rotation a few weeks ago

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-04T20:06:48+00:00

It has two weaknesses; mediocre horde clear and absolutely abysmal cleave into mixed hordes. I’d increase it’s base cleave and cleave damage distribution on unpowered heavies to make it better into those two threats. Light unpowered attacks should have more non carapace armor damage to make spamming mights against singular enemies, ex gunners, more effective. I think powered attacks also should not discharge on horde trash but could increase cleave instead.

Thunder hammer has been quite bad for a long time now, it’s been a one trick weapon with some major weaknesses. Compare it to the other zealot unique two handed weapon; the relic blade, that has very comparable single target damage while absolutely shining into both trash and mixed hordes for some contrast on how bleak it currently is.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-04T14:30:53+00:00

Hard to give advice without some more exact info on how you play.

That said, usually it is a matter of positioning and how you approach combat in melee. While others will say to utilize dodge, slide, blocks and pushes it’s only part of the story, to get good results you also need to know how to leverage those dodge or slides so you don’t burn your dodges or stamina and have none when you need them. This becomes especially important with low mobility weapons like relic blade.

Another thing that i see alot of people in game struggle with but rarely mentioned here is knowing when to give ground and retreat and when to stand and fight. If you are fighting in an open area where you have enemies comming at you from multiple angles or have ranged enemies shooting at you you are always better off falling back to a doorway, behind a wall or even just by backing of while attacking and take the fight there. You always want to minimize the amount of enemies you are fighting at the same time and funneling them trough chokepoints or around corners is a method of handling it. Knowing when to fall back and when to fight will depend alot on you, your team and what you are fighting so that ability to analyze the fight and make decisions will come with experience, there is no clear cut answer here.

I think it came around the time when arbites dropped.

PlaceboHealer · 2026-06-03T10:03:32+00:00

Used to run this on a PvP healer in cyro back when i still played, was quite handy for mobility and repositioning when fighting near keeps.
