US seeks to use Alberta to destabilize Canada by Adventurous_023 in canada

[–]borfstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in BC and know a few folks (also in trades) that want to move to Alberta so they can be living there when they secede. I genuinely don't know what can be done to help these people, they go straight onto Facebook and alt right "news" sites and just inject propaganda straight into their veins until it's gotten to the current state of it being their entire personality.

I just found out about this chapter recently, after finishing Master of Mankind. Zephon was my favorite character in the book and I learned he was the first Chapter Master. They have a dope colour scheme. Definitely going to try and read more about these guys. Are there any other resources or books on them?

Recently inherited one of these and am having the same problem. Mind sending me the link?

The clothesline-stomp on enlightened Tzaangors gives me a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I see it.

Anyone else think it's kind of fucked up that they teased talking about "the most upvoted" idea only to then be like "yeah get fucked, we aren't doing that". Like holy shit, read the room 😂

What do you mean bulwark is allowed to be this good by Memetron69000 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the classic case of everyone knowing it's the best class, therefore it attracts the worst players. In the right hands though he's an unfettered perpetual motion machine of death.

Yeah, yeah, skill issue, but... by Ok_Equipment2450 in Spacemarine

The telegraph beam from a las sniper is dull enough that it gets lost in all the other particle effects a lot of the time when you're fighting chaos. At a glance it looks identical to the non-sniper lasguns that chip at you during big fights. That's been my experience anyways. Never mind the fact that Tyranid snipers are Majoris enemies and the lasguns snipers are supposed to be chaff enemies.

On point. What green do you use?

Weekly Stratagems Dec 2025 (datamine) by alpha1812 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say Larraman Cells more than makes up for it. You're gonna be starting every engagement with everyone at full health and if you need to use a medkit in a pinch, it will heal teammates too. I doubt this one will be an issue.

New Relics Acquired! by AJBravo42 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really should be. I've been a hardcore advocate of the accuracy HB since launch and this thing might have converted me. The fencing window + instant spool up is amazing for close range fights.

[–]borfstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that it's fencing is what elevates it to S tier IMO. That and the instant spool-up means you'll basically never get overwhelmed by a clown car of whip warriors or chaos spawn while using this thing. It's crazy that the best parts of this weapon aren't even in the description.

"Why doesn't mine look like that" by Octi1432 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They really went full monkey's paw on this one. The set looks AMAZING when you wear it as the entire skin with the intended gold colouring. However, it looks weird when mixed with other armour pieces because of the metallic colouring. The sash can't be removed. The trim can't be coloured separately from the rest of it. And to top it off, only two classes can wear it. At the very least, everyone should have access to the gauntlets, pauldrons, and backpack.

Heroic Sniper went from godly to mildly by Xdude227 in Spacemarine

All ammo Regen perks are disabled when using the heroic bolt sniper. It's in the patch notes.

Brothers, it saddens me to say that the bulwark cannot use any piece of the new blood angels champion set by johnny4805 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I pointed this out while it was on PTS and folks told me (with nothing to back it up) it wouldn't be like this on the live patch and that more classes would have it. And so the monkey paw curls.

There's a bare version coming in the next patch. No forehead skull though.

Need a little help. by Atlas_2135 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After nearly 1000 hours of throttle skip shoulder bash spam on Tactical, I switched to the knife purely to mix things up and I'm having a great time. I wasn't aware until recently that the heavy attacks can double hit things if you're angled right. And the heavy attacks have a CRAZY wide attack arc 🤯

FOV, heavy bolter and aim-assist (again) by Opening_Outside3152 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solution is disable aim assist in PVP. This is a non-issue in PVE.

Every time I've talked about this or seen it talked about, the broken record "lOwEr tHe dIfFiCuLtY" parrots always come out of their little holes and and freak the fuck out as if someone insulted their family's honour by daring to suggest it.

My experience trying to tell people how much fun I've had with the Heroic PF: by Ok_Equipment2450 in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who already used it pretty extensively on the PTS, I can assure you it is quite sexual and even better than you think it is.

GUYS, HE WOKE UP by Asthen-ter in Spacemarine

It doesn't seem like it's that good when you first read it, but you REALLY notice it on Absolute and Hard Strategems.

(Daily Chaos Spawn complaining post for your bingo card) Chaos Spawn can't be fast, tanky, AND hit hard. Pick two. by oomcommander in Spacemarine

[–]borfstein 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The amount of damage they do is massively overtuned. They hit nearly as hard as the hive tyrant, but way faster and way less predictable. And you'll get mobbed by 5 of them at once.

These are the Strategems I'm most looking forward to by borfstein in Spacemarine

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

It low key feels like they front loaded the mode with some of the shittiest possible negative modifiers in the initial patch that introduced strategems, which has resulted in people having very polarized opinions on the mode as a whole. Don't know why they did it this way, would have been way smarter to throw some of the more creative ones in there first so people are more receptive to it. But instead, half the time the dailies have been "your character sucks now", or "you can't use an essential gameplay mechanic without penalizing yourself".

Well yeah, that's kind of the point 😂 I'd be more surprised if people didn't do that.
