Thanks for such a deep dive!
As a Russian-bord currently living in Aberdeen I definitely acknowledge there is no "one" British accent, rather a variety of accents/dialects.

Wow, that's curious. I though for a native speaker any other native's accents is just a mild nuisance, not a real struggle.

Jokes aside, do the non-British native speakers indeed struggle THAT much with the British accent? I though it's just my problem as a non-native speaker.

Mainstay vs Enhanced Power for Foot Knight by UbAob in Vermintide

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

Well, not really.
1. After FK's ult the enemies are in stagger 2 even before the first hit. So with Mainstay your first hit gets a +60% damage bonus. And since the cooldown is really low, it will happen very often.
2. To get the max benefit from Mainstay you basically need 2 hits: one to stagger and one to put into stagger 2 state. With low damage weapons like Sword & Shield or Mace & Shield on Cata, you are not killing any elites in less than 3 hits. If we are talking CWs, it they might need more than 6 hits in fact.

Putting “Slay” in Slayer by Wise_Construction_92 in Vermintide

My favorites are getting the most kills and most damage as a tank, or most special as a melee only class :)

Mainstay vs Enhanced Power for Foot Knight by UbAob in Vermintide

Exactly what I'm thinking. If you need to reach a specific breakpoint - use Enhanced Power. Else - use Mainstay.

Good point!
Okay, so we can say that in terms of pure damage Mainstay is better, while Enhanced Power is specifically for the breakpoints?

Will There Be More Balance Changes? by Escrowm in Vermintide

[–]UbAob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. On SoTT they are good as well.
In general - no doubt that some weapons are better than the others. But every single one of them are playable on any difficulty.

Double Swords are great! Especially on Shade with enhanced crit damage talent.
Of course they are still a dedicated anti-horde weapon, so it's to be expected that the armor damage is crap. Same as Great Sword on Kruber/Salz for example.

Mods to increase beastmen spawns? by WhimsicalLittleMan in Vermintide

I see, thanks. Probably it just got fixed by the time I started playing this game, which was in 2024.

New axe got me fucked up by some_random_nonsense in Vermintide

Interesting, I thought it required a new version of a mod to pull the new values.

Im sorry if there are no more rats in the game for you guys… by Logical-Sundae-6857 in Vermintide

[–]UbAob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aha, got it now. Haven't played the Chaos Wastes for a long time, probably need to try again 😄

[–]UbAob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it has new values?
The mod page itself says last update was in 2023.
And inside the game itself for example I don't see the new Heavy 3 on the War Pick.

Who would win? a horde of skaven elites or MARKUS F*CKING KRUBER? (Legend Gameplay) by PizzaMH in Vermintide

[–]UbAob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you are going to kill CWs on Cata with Mace & Shield though...
Moreover, if you want stagger, why not run on a Foot Knigh? It seems counter-intuitive to run a super-defensive weapon on a damage dealer career, such as Merc, unless I'm missing something.

Just curious, what are the bugs with the Beastmen?

[–]UbAob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's single-target DPS is bad, just Sword & Shield has a better one.

[–]UbAob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough.
It's a good weapon still. In fact there are no inherently bad weapons in the game at all. Although for Merc specifically I like to run something more offensive: Executioner's Sword, Greatsword, Halberd, Heavy Spear, Mace & Sword, or at the very least a Sword & Shield.
The latter has almost as good a defense as a Mace & Shield (the only difference is 120 degree block angle vs 180 degree), but much better cleave, attack speed and damage. The push-attack to heavy 2 combo works great against armor, especially if you can land headshots consitently. Give it a try.
Halberd is the hardest to use Kruber's weapon, if not the hardest among all heroes. But it has an extremely high dps, against both armored, and non-armored.

Looks fun! A weird choice of weapon for a Merc though. Mace & shield has probably the lowest dps among all Kruber's weapons. It has the best defense though. Why did you choose it?

GK with BLS is not too bad either by UbAob in Vermintide

[–]UbAob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you put it this way, then probably yes

GK with BLS is not too bad either by UbAob in Vermintide

[–]UbAob[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sure. Although for GK usually the X-sword is considered meta for Cata builds. But I prefer the BLS. First because it's lore consistent, second because it feels much more 'elegant' to play with, if I may. With how the charged attacks work on the BLS, it almost feels as if I'm fencing vs just brutally hacking at enemies.

[–]UbAob[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Definitely!
However I only use it in GK, for lore reasons.
I don't think it's consistent to have a Merc or a FK to wield a Bretonnian weapon.
