Talent Tree
Description
Tac axe feels so good. Lots of dodges, great TTK against everything, and movement speed (further increased by 20% in combat - once you got a taste, it's hard to go back to other weapons)
(mod to spam light attacks to mitigate carpal tunnel: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/88 )
- Use Aquila frequently for increased dps, toughness damage resist & +66% revive speed
- To stack damage buffs, ensure you:
- Mind Execution Order
- Spam dodge
- Hit weakspots
- Weave at least one heavy attack every 5 seconds
- Easy combos:
- Single target combo: L1>H2>L3>L1
- Horde clearing: H1>L2>repeat (spam diagonal strikes for Brutal Momentum )
- Harder but optimal:
- Single target: L1>H2>block cancel (need good muscle memory)
- Horde clearing: H1>L2 with dragging (drag up so the second half of the swing can link with adjacent heads)
- Easy combos:
- Tacaxe have great crit multiplier. 38.5% crit with all our modifiers -> BIIG dam
- Tacaxe perks: crit increases damage versus all, the other is up to preference. Unyielding allows to top damage on bosses & melt bulkwarks; an alternative would be Carapace. Everything else melts in a single weakspot crit.
- Ranged up to preference, I like the MKVIII "sniper", good ammo economy & great at everything you want from a sidearm (handle snipers/specialists/tight packs of ragers/gunners)
