I learned so much watching your videos! Pacing, parrying, how to melee bosses and now I can do "full throttle skip" pretty easy with the Chainsword. I basically learned how to become a "good" player watching you. Thanks!
When you get to a certain level in this game, the primary really doesn't matter anymore for getting the win, outside of just having a faster clear time of course. If you're good enough, most of the game can be done with a fencing melee weapon and pistol alone, as you've pretty much shown here with the carbine lol. Heavily relying on parries to not only get gun strikes but that blast wave that pushes the horde away. Parries / fencing are essential to any lethal build. The most important thing in the game. I'm curious how they will update block type weapons. Even balanced no reason to use unless you take the parry window perk that only the Vanguard has.
@@anaknangfilipina5846 Yeah its a nice little perk but ultimately isn't that valuable in the end IMO. I'd rather have the power or stun utility or AOE the other weapons offer vs better clarity in low visibility situations. Those can be played around and amount to a slight annoyance in the end. Not worth prioritizing for primary selection unless you're just trying to max all weapons.
@ It doesn’t have to be anything strong just to make it stand out. The Occulus in the game can be worked to generate damage for Blocking or Shielded foes starting at 10% and increasing with various perks. I even imagine it being a mini-Auspex when using a scope, highlight one for to generating more damage against them with various perks.
I can't play with balance weapons, the odd timing messes with my muscle memory and makes me unlearn the fencing timing. Making me a worse player. I think they should make balance weapons have the same immediate onset as fencing but a shorter window rather then have the same time window but delayed onset like it is now.
That carnifex fight felt like every carnifex fight i ever have haha between the super fast charge out of nowhere, the spikes shooting through obstacles, and the krak grapple just to make it the cherry on top
Impressive skill! The vanguard has medium firepower (no melta coz range needed) compared to tactical sniper or heavy (even assault with high aoe and counters),but i feel it way easyer to solo lethal with vanguard. It let you doing mistakes then going back with regen,and it seems all the defenses perks the vanguard has were made to be used together,it really shines when in the middle of a massive wave,did u tryed this setup? (Upper hand,conviction,thrill of tge fight etc..) Or is it better to go for damage in this difficulty ?
what do u think think is your winrate on vanguard lethal solo on inferno? This is my worst map on solo vanguard... i have like a 5% winrate because i never want go skip any fights, no matter how overwhelmed i get.
Full Throttle Relic Chainsword Perk. Press and hold attack button briefly (you don't want the actual charge animation to go through), and it skips an attack in the combo. Lets you shoulder charge with one light attack first rather than two, and stomp with two light attacks first rather than three.
Most people don't even notice. It's commonly know as "Full Throtle skip". ChrisG9656 has a nice video explaining it under that title. You need a little practice to do it, I still miss two or three out of ten, but super useful when you can pull it off reliably.

Which is a shame since the TT Occulus can shoot through cover, fog, etc

Primary especially not important when zoantrope shows up

Thanks man, I literally just finally leveled up the instigator to relic and now you come out with this…. Gotta start the grind again! LOL
Nice as always dude. Super aggressive at times.
I gave up on the occulus bolt at artificer tier. Such a peashooter.
It's still horrible at relic. I hate it :(
Occulus Bolt is garbage, it's one of the few guns that is straight trash

Would be cool be able to target tropes, be that with a hook or jump pack

in patch 4.1 it's like 90%+
You folks think the vanguard prior lvl25 is good? Im struggling mad crazy to level it in comparison to other classes.
It gets dramatically better once you have 10% Health Regen on majoris melee kill.
I don't know, I leveled it way back when I had to use Melta to get through ruthless. Now I never use Meltas, I think they are kinda bad actually.
@0:41s how r u able to achieve stomp with just d 3rd hit?

@@MrAstraka So its like (hold briefly) + light + light + (hold longer)?
@@donnychua7975 Exactly, and when I say brief I mean BRIEF.
@@MrAstraka yeah I tried it earlier in ops. Can't do it at training ground cos I think d perks only count at ops.
Where’s the combat knife vanguard run?
Not even a zoanthrope+ravener spawn? Ez run.
If anyone this channel has shown, it's that once you've mastered the parry and dodge system of the game you are nigh invincible.
The only things stopping me from playing vanguard more are his grunts, so annoying.
