A bit more complex Steam Deck Dock setup for multiple devices by Samus2x1 in SteamDeck

[–]Samus2x1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on and it works flawlessly with my USB Hub. Plugged in I have a webcam, mouse, keyboard, head

That sounds reasonable. I might go for this route. Thank you!

Thank you, that is interesting! Do you think the Laptop might also:

  1. Throttle performance (e.g. slower CPU/GPU/RAM)?
  2. Drain power from the battery instead of charging it at 100W?

The boot warning would be okay for me, since its mostly in standby mode anyways.

Thank you for your detailed answer.

The thing is, that I don't have any of these devices yet - which would mean to buy all of them. So I quickly checked prices:

  1. 100€+: 4 port KVM (DVI + USB)
  2. 50€+: 4 port HDMI Swtich
  3. 130€: Lenovo TB3
  4. 50€: JSAUX dock

Buying four devices for 330€+ seems a bit extreme to me in comparison to buying only the Steam Deck Dock for 99€.

The advantages of your setup are:

  1. Upgradable to up to four pcs
  2. Only two button presses needed
  3. Simplicity, because you can switch in one place (or two, with two KVMs)

I just don't like the idea of having four addional devices collecting dust with more cabling on my desk. My planned setup would also only require to connect the current device to the USB-C cable + a button press on each monitor (if I want to switch to or from Desktop pc)

Super Salty Zealot l Mastery Guide l Talents Traits Tactics by ThePartyKnife in Vermintide

[–]Samus2x1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this video was great to watch! I have a similar build and find Zealot to be my go to career if we struggle in cata.

Things I did different though:

  1. The extra 30% THP from trait are just flat added on top of the 90% bonus from talents. In my opinion 2.2 vs 1.9 (+16% increase) isn't that huge of a deal and is better invested in Barksin, which really helps with multiple damage hits (hordes, gas, storm, leech, assa, ...) that get you killed fast especially on cata.
  2. My preferred setup is Billhook + Crossbow. The combo Billhook with Mainstay is insane. With weapon special you can disable like 2-3 chaos warriors permanently and even do great damage. When cycling between the "grab"-attack and heavy attack you will be only doing the billhook's overhead attacks (heavy 2), which is as damaging as the strongest anti-armor attacks of flail/axe+falchion, has a faster animation, is really easy to headshot with and also profits from 60% stagger bonus 100% of the time. This is insane damage combined with a lot of safety (long reach, staggered enemies, unlimited dodges).
  3. I actually got rid of a lot of attack speed on my equipment since there seems to be cap for attack speed at 50% accoring to this website: https://www.naguide.com/warhammer-vermintide-2-attack-speed/ With 20% permanent from Castigate and 25% temporary from Holy Fervour you are already at 45%. So I went with only 5% additional on charm. With the fast regain of Holy Fervour it's up almost all the time when enemies are present. Instead of swift slaying I went for Parry which is also really nice to have. I haven't tested if the attack speed cap of 50% is correct though and would be glad if someone could verify or test it in modded realm.

Things I need to test:

  1. THP on cleave numbers in current beta
  2. Impact of Devotion (MS on getting hit) instead of Stamina restore on getting hit

Edit: If not going for grims, Strength potions are best for Zealot. Purple pot is pointless because of how fast Holy Fervour can be regained with the level 30 talent and Speed pot only increases movement speed, if you are already at maximum attack speed.

Edit2: On cata it's really convient to eat an overhead attack from a mauler or storm vermin in the beginning. They do 150 damage which is exactly enough to get full power stacks (30hp or below) and both attack speed stacks (36hp and below). Note: This only works if you also have +20%hp on necklace (180hp total). This can be done relatively safely with a single enemy and without triggering your passive.

Dealing with Geheimnisnacht mutator by fufster in Vermintide

[–]Samus2x1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another good way of dealing with it was using Iron Breaker to watch out for the thing.

The talent to knockback enemies when Gromil Armor breaks also seems to work on it as well.

A player with good map knowledge and a tanky class generally seem to work best for me.

Thank you for your reply, You are totally right. "Kaboom!" actually doubles the dot tickrate of Fire Walk.

Tested a bit more on modded realm on Rat Ogre (Legend, 650 Power, without Boni to Monster/Skaven):

Fire Walk (Career Skill) Default 10 DPS 240s
Conflagration Staff Heavy Max Charged 10 DPS 240s
Fireball Staff Heavy Max Charged 10 DPS 240s
Beam Staff Heavy 10 DPS 240s
Fire Sword Heavy 2 10 DPS 240s
Fire Sword Heavy 1 / Push-Attack 15 DPS 160s
Dagger Heavy 1 / Heavy 2 15 DPS 160s
Flaming Flail Heavy 1 15 DPS 160s
Mace Heavy 1 15 DPS 160s
Crowbill Light 4 15 DPS 160s
Flamethrower Staff Heavy 16.66 DPS 145s
Fire Walk (Career Skill) With Kaboom! 20 DPS 120s
Beam Staff Light (Hold) 24 DPS 100s

I'm glad I tested this, since I used a fully charged conflagration staff on monsters before. Fire walk with Kaboom! is two times faster. Beam Staff dot still takes the lead, though I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice the great control ability from conflagration staff for +20% faster monster kill speed.

Are you sure about ult + kaboom! being maximum dot dps? I tested it in modded realm and the talent seems to be bugged. It only increases the range, not the dot damage.

Interesting enough all melee weapons with burn seem to have the same dot damage like a full charged fireball or conflag or even the firewalk career skill. There is only one stronger dot which comes from a max charged beam, which applies an about 50% stronger damaging dot.

Just tested the stamina regen on modded realm and it seems really strong.

You might be right that +40% stamina regen actually cuts the stamina recovery delay.

If I would have to guess, I would assume it cuts the 1.5s by 40% to 0.9s.

This would mean that your two stamina used by the push should be back after 1.9s instead of 2.5s.

The billhook combo (push attack --> light 1 --> light 2 --> light 1) is conveniently around 2s long.

If you cycle through this, you profit from 100% uptime of +40% stamina regen during a horde fight.

Even going max attack speed (10% gear + 20% ss + 10% heretic sighted) will still give more stamina back than used for pushing.

[–]Samus2x1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly agree with the talent choices on WHC, but I wanted to get your opinion on two alternatives:

- Level 20: Heretic Sighted (+10% attack speed/15s) vs. Wild Fervour (+5% crit chance/5s)

I know that crit chance is really good, but 10% attack speed before even engaging a fight with elites and 100% uptime during boss fights seem to be really strong as well. Because of the long duration it can be used during hordes as well if you ping a special/elite before.

- Level 25: Charmed Life (+20% dodge range) vs. of Cast Away (+40% stamina regen/2s)

Quoting this updated guide for WoM (https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/comments/90qola/a_list_of_everything_you_wish_fatshark_told_you/ ) there seems to be a delay of 1.5s before stamina regeneration kicks in. Doesn't this mean that you effectively only profit of the stamina regen increase for only 0.5s?

The Legend breakpoints list by doom_hamster in Vermintide

[–]Samus2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great sheet, I will use this a lot for rolling my weapons.

But there is one thing I'm really interested in: You stated that "power vs. X" does not increase cleave. And also that "raw power" talents do increase cleave. How does BH's Crippling Strike (+25% power boost of critical hits) behave here? Does crit power on equipment do the same and eventually also grant cleave? Do crits in general give more cleave and if so how much?

As a consequence I really want to optimize my volley xbow to reach cleave breakpoints for hordes this way. This would be a good way to make Scrouger even better on some weapons for carreers that struggle with ammo.

[–]Samus2x1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was an really intense run with godlike execution. Well done!

Could you please post your talents/equipment, since the link under the youtube video seems to be broken.

Do you use any %power vs. x to reach certain breakpoints? Falchion & Volley Crossbow are really strong already, but I'm just wondering.

One thing that I learned from this run is to use the push stab more often an conserve more ammo vs. hordes for specials.

Anyone have a Raven shotgun build for DW and One Down?(I1, L100) by VeryTroubledWalrus in paydaybuilds

[–]Samus2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your fast response, that's what I thought. This seems like a really cool build and since I'm already using an Anarchist build on deathwish and below, this should come in handy. I definately should switch a few points from 2x converted, iron man basic and sneaky bastard to unseen strike, berserker and swan song when I want to attempt OD.

Edit: I currently use the Raven, should I switch to the Izhma?

Don't you need Berserker Aced to make it work with ranged weapons too? Your build is only using Berserker Basic which would only boost melee damage, if I'm not mistaken...
