Description

Divider

Alright my broskis, Captain Arch here to show you a no nonsense Endgame guide that’s not gonna waste your time or play with your balls.

What this build allows you to do is establish control in a chaotic battlefield as well as provide you with the opportunities to pull countless clutch plays to save your team and have them praising both the Emperor and You. This build contains nasty single target damage, massive aoe potential,strong survivability and the ability to put your team on your back and extract them out safely. If you’re watching this and you enjoy it, subscribe to my channel and let's be bros! I have a link to the build in the description and you can find chapters there as well.

-We’ll be using the Eviscerator to bring forth carnage. On Modifiers you’re looking for Shred, cleave and Penetration. With perks I went with hit chance as this build relies on crit and bleed for both damage and cool down refresh. For the second perk I took Unyielding enemies to better deal with ragers, but I also recommend Carapace Enemies to help you shred armored elites faster since we’ll be using our Flamer to take on the Nurgles, Chaos Spawns and Plague Ogryns. You’ll see later in this guide how I shred through some unfavorable situations and still come out like a Top G.

- For blessings I went with Wrath to further enhance our ability to shred through overwhelming waves of hordes you’ll be facing in Herressey and Damnation, the two highest difficulties in Darktide. My last blessing is Momentum and this is to further boost my Toughness regen as you’ll see that I run high toughness regen on this build because I like to play super in your face and aggro. 

-Our secondary weapon is the flamer, it’s one hell of a powerful tool to crowd control large packs of unarmored enemies and suppress them in place while they burn to a crisp or your teammates get to them. Later in the video I'll be showing specific scenarios on where and how to use your weapons, grenades and ability. On my flamer, I don’t have the ideal stats, but you’ll want to look for Cloud radius, burn, and damage for modifiers. On the perks I took dmg to maniacs and Unyielding enemies, because these are mainly the ones that will break through your crowd control.

On blessings you should take Overpressure and Blaze away as this will maximize the damage you can do per ammo cartridge on the flamer. Additionally because of these blessings, you don’t want to reload while still having  ammo in your cartridge because the longer you hold the flame you do higher damage and the lower the ammo left in your cartridge the higher your damage will be also. We will also be relying on a point in our talent tree that will give us increased damage on our Primary after we empty the cartridge on the secondary.

-With Curios I took +1 Wounds on each one, so that I can soak up dmg if need be since I’ll always be in the line of fire. This build's weakness is ranged enemies because you don’t have the tools to engage them at a safe distance, but you can rely on smart positioning and your team to take them out. Remember that you should use your environment around you to your advantage. Utilize cover to wait out certain unfavorable situations, and you’ll be using your Flamer to pepper ranged enemies with fire to get them to stop shooting and run away or be staggered. The main perks I focused on with each Curio was Increased ally revive speed, cuz im out here like captain planet saving the bro’s, and toughness regeneration speed helps keep the Toughness bar full. With the 3rd perk you should take resistance to enemies you don’t like in particular, for me I took resistance to flamers and gunners.

-Let’s quickly review the talents in this build that enable this playstyle. Scourge allows us to  stack bleed through crits, and then allows us to build crit stacks on bleeding targets.  We’ll be going down the middle of the talent tree to pick up immolation grenade and then take a detour on the left to pick up Until death and holy revenant for survival. We continue down the middle tree to pick up Beacon of purity to heal corruption and Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude for our ability. We now go left and down the tree to pick up Invocation of Death which will reduce our ability cooldown everytime we crit, then we pick up  our Damage keystone which will make the crit build possible. We pick up some additional stragglers in the form of Faithful Frenzy and Sustained assault for more melee damage.

-This is a very action oriented build, You’ll be using your Eviscerator for 60 to 70% of your time in battle. It’s exceptional at mowing down hordes in one heavy swing and its chainsaw activated ability will let you shit all over Crushers,reapers, Shields, ragers and maulers. The most efficient way to swing it is 1 heavy attack followed by a light attack. The first heavy within the sequence is a wide arcing swing and the next attack be it heavy or light will be a diagonal strike downwards, which is why we want to go with light so that we can quickly go back to using a heavy attack which will be that wide arcing swing again. So remember Heavy, Light, Heavy, Light. Additionally because of our build, everytime  we crit with our primary weapon we’ll be lowering the cooldown of our ability Chorus of Spiritual fortitude, allowing us to use our ability with high frequency throughout the mission. The cooldown is 60 seconds and you should have it up in 30 in favorable situations. 

- Our Chorus ability creates pulsing waves that crowd control enemies in place and even pushes them back in fear.  Additionally it will also fill the toughness bar of your allies and provides a toughness buff when the bar is full. Your judgment on when to use this ability will be based on the following…We just ran into a pack of gunners inside a building? Use Chorus to CC them and get them to drop their guns. Is my team being overrun by a huge group of horde, elites, crushers and maulers? Then use Chorus. Are we getting a pack of hounds coming right at us? Use Chorus, 1-3 people from the team are down in an impossible situation and everyone’s looking at you like holy shit broskie were fucked…Use Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude to save that ass. 

-Your grenade is a complementary tool, It can be used to contain enemies so that you can mow them down with your primary or used in tandem with your Flamer so that you can give 'em that morning after burn, the type that will have them questioning where or what they stuck their dick in. 

- Let me know what you guys think of the build in the comments my bro’s, like and subscribe the dream for the channel is big and we’ll all be part of the journey.
