@@begone1934 I'm not sure. I think I've shot them when they are flying past very closely but non-aggro (meaning not one of them in the pack has targeted me with orange dodge indicator) and received no damage in the chain reaction explosions. I also think I've done this when the same thing happens to another cooperator and didn't see them take a bunch of damage. When one of the spore mines in a pack starts the kamikaze, I think at that point they will do damage to you or teammates when they explode. I could be wrong. I haven't tested this theory. It all happens so fast.

@@petemcthompson4489 I'll see if that bears out the next time. They seem to be this game's Poxburster, like in Darktide. Hated those too.

@@begone1934 I've also heard that melee kills will not cause them to hurt you. I know I've ground pound with assault jet pack when they were just hanging out in a pack with some gaunts and received no damage. I also know I've caught them with chainsword shoulder tackle and stomp and took no damage.

@@petemcthompson4489 There was a time I dropped into a group of them with a standard drop melee attack, and it deleted me instantly. I don't know if the game counts that as a melee attack or not.

@@begone1934 Hm. Had any of them aggroed yet (orange dodge indicator)?

@@piotrcthlu I play on PS5 with a controller. Yeah, the weapon felt really terrible on ruthless up until purple. By purple it started feeling ok and by relic it felt good enough to maybe want to run it again from time to time for the fun of it.

@petemcthompson4489 what would be your main weapons on tac?

@@piotrcthlu If I want a fast clear, it'd be the bolt rifle with grenade launcher. Saber has mentioned that they're probably going to nerf its strength and that the ammo refill perk wasn't intended to refill its grenades. If they do nerf it in those ways, it'd basically be a pretty lousy weapon. But for now, it's the strongest weapon in the game by far. Aside from that, the melta is ok for trash mob clearing but it really sucks against zoanthropes, neurothropes, and carnifex. Other than that, the stalker and marksman bolt carbine are pretty good. Heavy bolt rifle isn't bad either.

@@petemcthompson4489 yeah agreed, I don't run gl as it's too strong imo, and melts is boring to me, but other than that stalker and marksman carbine are really good indeed and hbr Even full auto carbine is good, has very nice damage now

There’s a dodge roll for a reason, react faster

@@J1GS4W_13 Yeah it's got a nice old school feeling to it. I prefer this over all the new hero shooters. I just wish that there was support for more than 6v6 and that your own matchmaking squad was bigger than 3.

@@Daily_Dose_of_knowledge_ This is on PS5. It runs just fine on that.

@@Honz1q Thanks! I think my highest kill count in annihilation with any class is maybe 20 (assuming there's a full 6v6 set). 24 or especially 37 kills (out of 50 per team) is insane. I bet that was crazy.

@@petemcthompson4489 i think it was luck that the other team wasnt too good :D i with bulwark i have barely any kills so gj!

@@Honz1q Most of the games I ran yesterday with Bulwark are up on my channel. I think there's maybe 10 or 12 videos with Bulwark? I've hardly touched this class in PVP compared to some other classes, but it plays a lot better than I expected. The most important thing is to try to keep from getting shot from multiple angles, and repositioning if you're going to get flanked. Thanks again!

Ah, you can't customize the chaos marine armors (yet). I was only able to choose the colors. Thanks though.

@@RobC2201_ Thank you very much!

@@josephworkman9294 that makes both of us

I've got other videos with far better K/D, but this is my top kill count in a single match. The other team was strong and we still lost the match. I can die a lot rushing the point recklessly like this. Check out my other videos. I've got 17/1, 14/0, 7/0, etc. More uploads today, too. Example: ruclips.net/video/43vvwDnZanU/видео.htmlsi=od_IhQcauzR3QEiz

@@DirtyDan95 I don't play much bulwark in PVP, so all I can give you is what I've noticed good bulwarks do against me. Avoiding ground pound is hard against a skilled assault. Try to roll unpredictably. The assault is trying to lead you (pound where you will be 1s from now), so if you change direction while they are prepping the pound, they may miss. Best case, you call attention to them (d-pad Up button) and several players shoot them out of the sky. If the assault has multiple jump pack charges and it's you and them alone, a good assault can just about 100% kill the bulwark (in my experience). You can toss a shock grenade and try to make the assault land on it, but that's pretty hard. Avoiding the charge attack is a little easier: never, ever engage an assault in melee unless you can finish them in 1 swing. The charged aftershock move takes about 1s to fully charge (in pvp) and if the upswing connects, you're heavy staggered, lose 2/3 of your life, and the downswing will 100% connect and do another 2/3 of your life (it's a death combo). You can block the regular swing and the dash pommel strike. If you block those, you can roll away from the charged overhead slam. All in all, assault vs bulwark is a tough match for the bulwark if the assault class player knows what they're doing. If you have other players nearby providing firing support for you, it's a lot better odds for the bulwark.

@@petemcthompson4489 greatly appreciate the help, figured my only chance against them was to just roll away as best I could. Really wish they would add a more skill based melee system where you can maybe get more parry’s that actually give you a stronger attack right after that would make melee PvP more about skill timing and trading swings and less about just who has the highest damage weapon

We'll see what any balance changes may bring in the future, but for now I'd just suggest looking up at the sky more when you have opponent Assault classes (especially if they're top of the opponent leader board), don't rush anywhere alone, and don't try to engage them with melee. You'll get smoked as a bulwark against a competent assault player if it's 1 vs. 1.

​@@DirtyDan95Here: ruclips.net/video/c1pV1KE0xCQ/видео.htmlsi=T5ayAvC_XMX87KCA I uploaded a ton of Bulwark PVP today on my channel and titled the videos a lot better for clarity.

Thanks!

Thanks!

@@petemcthompson4489 What do you recommend if I want to play with dual swords but still use Ame-no-Uzume’s Grace? What should my stats be?

@@hassannaveed3606 I can use dual swords with these stats, I just put "Transform Bonus (Constitution)" as an inheritable on it. I have my stats the way I do for Ultimate Constitution, Ultimate Courage, and Ultimate Magic. The 160 dex is for Damage Bonus (Ninjutsu Power) of a roughly 7% damage bonus to everything. I use these stats no matter the weapon.

@@milkman6771 That's, uh, quite a leap to make just based on this footage. In any case, thanks for leaving a comment!

@@MVP_NightmareLol! Thanks for the comment. I was inspired to try this based on some one-shot-all-DLC bosses where this dude had an elaborate Zweihander setup using a ton of buffs and dealing insane damage. I'm too lazy to do all those buffs (mushroom hat gives bonus when poisoned, Varre's mask another bonus when bleed proc nearby, madness thing, spells, etc.). I don't want to do all that. Instead, this is just Royal Knight's Resolve, heavy infusion, two handed talisman (a DLC talisman), charge attack talisman, and the talisman that gives a damage bonus when HP full. I'm missing a lot of other damage multipliers, but like I said, i don't want to do anything overly elaborate for buffing.

@@petemcthompson4489 You inspired me to try the dlc but are the dlc bosses harder than malenia?

@@petemcthompson4489 If yes I'll still play the dlc but I gotta level up more first lol

@@MVP_Nightmare Some are for sure harder. Be sure you grab scadutree fragments and use them at graces to give you permanent bonuses to damage output and damage mitigation (same way you upgrade estus flasks). These are how the DLC balance mechanics work. Use a guide if you need to in order to find them.

It is not required. You do get a powerful Caryll rine, however.

You get an Eye rune that increases discovery. Discovery is supposed to boost your item drops in some way, but I'm not sure how large of an effect it is. I don't see a reason not to kill him and grab that rune though, whether I use it or not.

It's a strong, short-ranged, 2-hit attack. You stab your katana into the ground as one hit, then swing upward. It has long recovery frames, so an effective way to use it is to use burst counter right after the second hit. This is pretty effective with brute burst counter.

You cannot see the damage from the wall slam due to the camera angle, but it does a lot of damage and I'm trying to keep KT enraged. Yes, attacks to sleeping monsters do 2x damage and sometimes that's the right thing to do. Wall slam wake ups are also sometimes the right thing to do.

Thanks! This was actually my first time hunting Alatreon solo with the bow. I haven't hunted much of Alatreon compared to most other monsters. It went pretty well, but it was a fairly slow kill compared to my melee kills of it. I may make some more runs with a few melee weapons and upload them in the coming days.

@@petemcthompson4489 a win is a win. I figured it was a newer hunt with bow. No dragon piercer or whatever it’s called but all and all good shit.

Thanks! It was a nice surprise.

Try 3pc raging brachydios and 2pc (chest & waist) golden rathian (MR70 required). Safi Jiva blast charge blade is good and comfortable, or raging brachydios charge blade.

​@@petemcthompson4489gracias bro.

@@rubenesquivel3165 no problemo

No, it's possible to do without Fatalis gear. What I did solo when fatalis first came out was use golden rathian chest and waist for divine blessing 5, and used part breaker 3 to break the head twice, used bow to break its wings and just farmed parts until I could make a full set of fatalis gear without having to fully kill it (you can leave quest or fail it from carting and keep everything awarded from breaks and keep what you pick up from floor drops). Safi Jiva weapons or raging brachy weapons are fine here. It's also possible to kill fatalis without fatalis gear, but it's harder of course.

2 Rathian dorada para protección divina al 5 y 2/3 Brachydios Colerico para Instigador 7, puedes ir con el hacha cargada de Brachydios Colerico para matarlo, así lo hice yo.

Thanks!

Thanks! I think I can improve the time here without too muchi effort. I took quite a few hits that i can normally avoid. Phase 1 is the sketchier part of the fight because KT can roll all over the arena and cause a lot of time loss.

The build is shown at the end of the video, but here it is again for convenience: This isn't a speed running / max dps build. It's my casual hunt build. Some decorations aren't optional but I run for comfort in any hunt. Fatalis Charge blade Fatalis alpha helm Fatalis beta chest Fatalis beta gloves Fatalis alpha waist Kulve Tarroth beta feet With decorations and my agitator charm, I have these perks: Crit Eye 7 Agitator 7 Artillery 5 (not mandatory for savage axe) Guard 5 (not mandatory) Divine Blessing 5 (not mandatory) Stun Resist 3 Critical Boost 3 Weakness Exploit 3 Focus 3 Handicraft 2 Capacity Boost 1 Evade Window 1 Flinch Free 1 (not mandatory) Minds Eye 1 (not mandatory) Attack 2 (from mantles, only when active) Mantles are temporal mantle+ and rocksteady mantle+

@@petemcthompson4489 Thanks, Pete. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I asked mainly because I'm considering taking it on solo and so was just curious what stuff you were hunting with. Your build is light years ahead of my noob, thought! Cheers

@@guitboxgeek No problem! You could try to piece together raging brachydios set instead? That set is pretty decent.

​@@petemcthompson4489R brachy Is really good if you dont have agitator decos

I've got like 300 kills of KT. I definitely didn't start out playing this fight this clean. But it's my favorite monster in the game, hands down! Thanks for the like and subscribe! Much appreciated!

Thanks, Kulve Tarroth kills coming soon!

Nah, barely any fire in this fight

No, it's not necessary, but it was comfy. I was noticing in a lot of earlier runs I was spending a lot of time rolling to put the fire out, or healing more to compensate for the fire DOT, which was time I was spending not attacking. Every time you see me take damage from fire in this run (there's a lot), know that I would've been set on fire and would've had to deal with the DOT from it had I not put that fire resistance on.
