I like the content. Good to see someone enjoying the game rather than spreading toxicity in the community and ridiculous game hating everything on the market.
For zo’es I will hold on to a pair of crack nades until they show up. Or I like to split up, I’m on one side of the zo’es and teammate on the other side; that way someone always has a shot on an unshielded zo’e
Relic fencing hammer was and is literally the best for pure dmge and aoe,with right perks u can 1 shot majoris already with ground pound,no need to take block or balanced for extra dmge. With armor on demand with any combos,and parry,its literally the strongest melee weapon.
It would be great if you could fly at the trope with your jump pack, it makes effin sense that a marine could get into melee like that, for frick sake, a marine could easily jump up at the trope...
Honestly the pvp and pve jump packs should switch places. That kind of movement in pvp where half of people aim with a controller is kinda OP since you always have an easy out and always get to choose who, when, and where your fights are and your choices are informed by areal recon. Evidenced by the fact that on assault my kd is usually 2+, and with every other class its .8 (except for one amazing game on bulwark where I went like 32/5 but thats just a brag cause I never play that well)
Assault should functions same as PVP and Zoan should vulnerable go to melee damage(i.e Vanguard hook and Assault jump pack) Unfortunately, Saber won't do that cause they're stupid
@@nathancawley8759 Yah assault is op in pvp, pve is not hard the fact that people glaze it is. Beyond me, your grinding the same thing for just helmets and fun, wheres the pvp love, nerf the the hammer blast radius, or make the jetpack loud as fuck, it's not hard to flank it's common sense
I’m not gonna use the blocking until they fix that burst/adrenaline rush timer. It goes out way too fast. It’s not even effective in battles. It goes away before you even get to swing your weapon it’s so many enemies. It’s kind of pointless until they fix the timer, make it longer make it slower, but theyhave to do something Until then, I’ll stick to fencing and hit the enemies 12 times apiece with an actual perry
The attack you like is called a lunge. You perform it by attacking while sprinting, you can also tap parry to animation cancel and immediately start charging aftershock. Because lunge causes a stagger/knockback and can open gun-strikes against minoris, it *potentially* creates enough space to get the charged swing off. There's a lot of reading the situation involved, but you're absolutely on the right track. I just unlocked my relic block-hammer last night, but didnt get a chance to try it since Im focused on getting my Vanguard to 25 for the capstone perk.
This is a reminder for me to go back to trying assault again, after these changes. The pommel smash followed by ground smash(?) worked for me too, though often following a gunstrike. Am interested to see how blocking fares now. Re the painting I'd say to experiment with mixing colours for shading and stuff - plonk some paint on a tissue, add some water, and when the base coat is done start mixing something lighter for highlights and darker for shading. Dry brushing with a bad / worn out brush gives amazing results too. Trial and error plus some youtube videos might help, much like video games I suppose 🙂
I've had no luck with blocking thunder hammer, back to the Battle Barge by the first loadout change point. I HAVE done a few Lethals and solo Lethals with block dagger though. 3x Adrenaline Surge into Shadow Stab is pretty wild.
As an assault main I think the class gets a bad rep, the key I think is controlled aggression. People keep baiting themselves into being over aggressive and that's why they die
Facts! Assault is more of a strategic class imo. Gotta know when and how to use your jump pack. Assault have the best minoris clear and majoris damage. But God help you if zoanthropes or neurothrope spawns. Best to have krak grenades on standby. 😂😂😂😂
The question is is the damage from the block hammer worth losing the armor regen from gunstrike. Relic hammer is already plenty strong even on fencing. For zoeys its neokite. Also you threw a shock nade and then stood in it so you kinda wrecked yourself there 😂
only if you need an extra extra challenge on lethal , and then you will get oneshot on guarantee at some point, if your team isnt able to stop calls or focus majoris you are fcked, but you are able to deal alot ALOT of dmg ..... and its not really "fun" or "flowy" to play
Yeah i gave blocking weapons a fair shot last night. Honestly its just not a play style i enjoy. I prefer the fencing hammer because it just feels better. Especially when you are surrounded and get off multiple parries in a row. My big test for blocking was fending off 4 majoris at the same time. The results were disappointing. Blocking multiple majoris = death. Simply because you get no aoe stagger. With fencing weapons if the enemies are surrounding you and you get a parry off it staggers all surounding enemies for a brief moment allowing you to either prepare for the next parry gunstrike or gaining space. The damage boost from blocking just doesnt make a difference. Reason being is you survivabilty takes a huge hit and in this game that is the entire goal. Especially on lethal.
Definitely worth upgrading to relic, same with the heavy pistol. I find it on par with the plasma pistol. Assault is definitely a class that comes into his own when you're in the higher levels.
I think the best melee class is vanguard. Block or fencing. You get added perks for damage. The 50% added window for parrys damage to majoris. And other good melee perks
A good Bulwark is a great teammate and I know I'm not good at Bulwark so I don't play that class. I love assault and the new big damage block hammer. Without fencing I don't use the gunstrike armor perk I use the additional damage for charged attacks and SMASH!
Anyone having issues with Gene seed finding and armoury data on Obelisk. Ive found 4 Armoury data locations and 3 gene seed locations and one of the armoury data locations you physically cant reach.
Any chance you can post your build? I just unlocked relic tier and Im not sure if I'm building it in an optimal fashion, on the right track, or failing entirely. Once I know my build is viable, then Ill know failures are skill issues, which I can fix.
Also if you want to get into the tabletop just find your closest warhammer or Hobby store that has warhammer and go in. Bonus if its a Warhammer store they will get you started on the right track. put together prime and paint the whole deal. can prob get in and play a game. As someone who nose dived into the hobby id recommend starting small with an army you want and flesh that out. dont overdo it with 100's of dollars of plastic and tools.
Dude, you are not toxic when it comes to this Bulwark: IF someone in this point of this mission ignores the game information to go around this fight AND the cues from your teammate(s) to do the same (and generally cues from teammates) they are just not good players (also either thoughtless, toxic or both). It seems to me that a lot of SM2 players treat their squadmates like bots...
I respect the hell out of blocking players, but I just cannot personally stand it. It breaks the momentum of the game so much IMO. That is cool, though

The terminator didn't eat up your health only by himself, it was your shock grenade. You went directly into it
Lmao I keep forgetting about that. I really need to get better with my grenade usage lol!
@Yeertski don't worry - the amount of times I got rid of my armour by throwing one too close to me is faaar to high xD

Yeah it can be risky losing parry but at least melee weapons can knock back minoris enough to get some armor back from the knock back gun strike.

This thing truly nukes. I did 37k damage last time I used it. I could have this damage only on heavy with plasma before.

I picked up a starter set and I am also getting the starter paint set as well.
Dont stand in your own shock grenade, you killed yourself on that terminator.
You take damage from the shock grenades you throw btw

A tad bit of game awareness goes a long way in this game lol!

Blocking sucks
u so cool gona dying with blocky hammer - cause it cool yey . also you running with blocky hamma
The fact that people glaze repetitive pve is funny its not hard to beat ai, pvp needs love the hammer is op
PVP does need love. Hopefully we get a Dev update on the new mode soon!
Games are not automatically fun because they're hard, and I say this as a very avid Elden Ring player.
All people here are glazers thinking the game is fine when in reality it's not
Anyone using made up slang like “glazer” can’t be taken seriously
