I've made a gameplay video in Auric for this build so you can roughly understand how I use it.

A quick note about this video:
I mostly make short build videos, which unfortunately means I can't cover every point in detail, so basic mechanics like dash and crowd control are assumed. And of course, you can adjust the melee weapon, some points in the skill tree or the corius, as the build mainly focuses on the Plasma Gun, the ability and the keystone. Perhaps I'll make a note for the next video about this. And if you have any issues with basic mechanics, just write to me in the comments, I might make a video about it.
Nice, tested it and im now officially a fan of the plasma gun. Thanks for the video!
I usually come on here to look at peoples builds try them out. Man what a build this one is my all time favorite for veteran. My brother thought I was hacking cause I was spamming shout every 15 seconds or so in auric maelstrom.
I am new player started(2 days ago). Made my veteran lvl 30 and made this build. Hopped on my first auric maelstrom and it did wonders.
Damn son, how did you do that so fast? Any tips for levelling?
Been running this build for a couple of days and it’s sick!
It works amazingly good., only drawback is that ammo runs out quick as no ammo regen
First time player, just coming over from inquisitior, killing time trying something different….don’t much about the game , just hit 17, came across this build, awesome build…absolutely bad ass, just burns everything down! Super stoked for Space Marines 2…September can’t come fast enough!
Taking a plasma gun with no survivalist is pretty bad manners
Survivalist sucks ass after being overnerfed.
@@vladimirvojtaml yeah well it’s still the best bet aura
1:51 I learned something
me too xd
Loving the presentation quality for use
friend people want to see your builds for all three class professions!
veteran:
smoke ninja
super sniper ....or something like that)
your builds are the best!!!
@ellredbull You're really giving me a challenge XD. Builds with smoke and sniper tend to be either slow or having a big issue in one direction but let's see what i can come up with. I'll prioritize creating builds for each class in Auric first, as some have requested but I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
Wonderfully presented! Thanks for sharing :)
Just started using the plasma - must be the last person ever to try. Feels a bit clunky and have to use cool down a lot, any tips for use apart from just using light attacks
When shooting away and pressing cool down special button, I have switched to melee to fend off the swarms, including the pesky single enemies that seem to be the last of a swarm or sneak up behind to whack you or your teammates. I run power sword for my melee instead bc there is those moments that it may be enemies that are too close to shoot at which also may be armored, it has been more effective in my playing ability imo. Fire away at everything first, melee when hitting the point of cooldown taking too much to wipe out the enemy as needed.
How do you have all those bars and numbers on your screen?
@EthanWalker-tn9mv i use mods mate, works only on pc.
Old shovel is trash just use a devils claw with a cleave blessing. Reciprocity is one of vets best nodes always take it. You have 50% 33% and 30% toughness dmg reduction from your tree you dont need more gunner resistance it does nothing. If you are running 3 toughness curios thats ok for vet but you absolutely need stam management if you dont get a stam curio. Duck and dive or stam regen on curio and some block efficiency will save you tons of runs.
I'm surprised at your curio choices, since x2 health and x1 stamina is being shoved down our throats for main stats.
@leapinglizard3937 I've always prioritized toughness since the beginning of the game, and so far, I've never regretted it or encountered any issues in the game itself. Especially in situations where you're exposed to gunfire, it has always paid off. But if you find that other curios work better for you, feel free to switch.But taking stamina is only necessary if you hardly ever dash and frequently block. You can compensate for all of that with dashes, especially if you have weapons with good mobilit
Why Thunderstrike? Is it just so you can make more use of Skullcrusher because you only get the buff while they are staggered?
I disagree with the curios, considering that veteran has the slowest toughness regen of all classes toughness regen may be the best slot for 30% increase on all three curios, I do agree with the 4% CDR though. for 3rd I always take stam regen... When are you not needing to dash. sprint, dodge, or block?
Edit: side note... you can animation cancel plasma gun reload speed to save 3 seconds. You simply just need to sprint after every sound queue of the reload.
Actually would it not be better to use 25% damage for maniacs and 25% damage flak instead? It would allow you to oneshot flamers (because they have wierd hitbox for head that does not trigger 50% of the time) and two shot ragers.
@vladimirvojtaml If you work with the Keystone Focus Target, one shot to the chest is enough to kill Flamers, but you could also switch Carapace with Maniac, it shouldn't really change the build.
@@jay-brodi7953 I don't run any keystones they're underpowered and don't bring much tbh. It's better to boost base stats + melee attack speed + crit imho. I was testing the break points and 25% flak dmg + 20% ranged dmg makes yoy one shot shotgunners and scab gunners (but not dreg ones sadly) which is good. But annoying part is toxbomber takes two shots and all maniacs take two shots. I'll probably run maniac + flak after the itemization rework to oneshot flamers without a crit. But ofc crits as you heat up demolish everything. My issue is there's no other way to boost damage to reach breakpoints without focus target keystone which pisses me off immensely.
Though with a healthpool that small, grims are going to be a more of a pain and who knows when the console guy decides to shoot the burster you tried to shove. Plus three gunner resistances? The damage reduction is not only somehow rather small but the diminishing returns make more than two at most a waste.
Nice and neat editing
Could you make an ogryn blastoom gauntlet build? There is no one good around :)
@crazyviking5645 I've tried many variations with the weapon, but I'm really not satisfied with it. I could test out some builds with it again, but compared to others, the weapon is rather weak.
It's just a weak weapon it needs large AOE to be effective id just stick with a kickback, I main ogryn with loyal protector and shield with a kick back. It excels at everything, it's surprisingly accurate, it's high damage, one shots most specials within a medium range and mows down hordes which can help clean up an area around your downed teammates. It's also just super convenient in a bad situations because you can just tap and delete a trapper and resume wiping the trash and elites out.
this is the exact kind of guidance I’m looking for, no pointless babbling bullshit just straight to the point on how and why it works.
@krieger7510 thanks, mate!
Start of my session 8hrs ago my friend and I met a pair of plasma vets queuing together for Maelstroms. They failed spectacularly at killing more than a few elites at a time before going down repeatedly. We gave them some tips, told them to change their builds up a bit and to use better gun, stop trying to kill everything and using all the ammo, and sure enough they survived most of the next run before it got too hairy for them. During conversation my friend joked about how bad their previous build was and how they were actually helping this time round and they said "we just got the build off this brody guy on youtube" so here I am to see if they did it wrong or if the video was just bad, and yeah unfortunately it's the video that's bad.
They were impressed by the video because they are beginners and don't understand you are being carried by two ogryns who are providing all the CC, and they don't understand any of the tree or choices you made because none of the playstyle, synergy or usage is explained properly. They do now understand that the shovel is a terrible weapon with no horde clear, that there are diminishing returns on curios and that the vet needs stamina to stay alive more than anything else as dodging avoids needing toughness in the first place. Lots of good comments explaining why this build isn't good, and it's definitely not for beginners or for Auric Maelstroms.
I would suggest watching some real builds from good players and avoiding the plasma gun meme. No-one wants to play with a beginner plasma vet with no ammo aura. worst thing you could inflict on a new player tbh.
great stuff but also, bulwark anti-stagger buffs mean that you can no longer open them up with plasma/bolter right? Or at least it takes many shots now
@gronm69 Thanks mate, based on my experience, you can't stagger a Bulwark with plasma now if he's holding his shield up. But with plasma and the Focus Target talent, only a few shots are needed and your ability Voice of Command can stagger them for it.
@@jay-brodi7953 thanks, I'm kinda upset they are streamlining shout on vet so much but it is what it is x)
strong build!thnx
What you think is the best build rn?
@lenox9524 Rn, Ogryn with club is one of the best builds in the game.

@@jay-brodi7953 better then this?build
You don’t think veteran build are better ?
@@jay-brodi7953 better then this one?
plasma AND krak? bruh
Thanks my gun
Nice. Can you do one for zealot? I'm on console btw
@weediestbroom Sure buddy, do you have a weapon preference, or I would make a build with knife or axe.
Why krak over shredders?
Cause he doesnt use charged attacks with this build and kraks help more with bosses and crushers i guess
@andyozFace I don't skill into Shredder because then the build varies in its balance. And to deal with bosses better and faster, I always prefer Krak. But if you want to skill into Shredder, take the point from Rending Strikes.
awful build curios are trash, plasma spam but no ammo aura, standard shovel is a horrible weapon, 2 points wasted for 1 stack of bleed on melee it (this will do absolutely no damage), 10% rending without stacking other sources of rending is trash, krak nade is useless if you run plasma, grenade tinkerer only increases boss dmg of krak nade (already overkills all enemies without it), -10 points for not taking reciprocity (the best node in the veteran tree).
And your made up stats are wrong this build has shit horde clear (shovel can't kill fast), you are only tanky as along as you have over 75% toughness after that you are done, knife has way better mobility than shovel so this build can't have full points there.
@Bopiz787 Ok, then I want to address your points. Before I do that, here's a brief word about the build. This build isn't the best build of all time and yes, it's customizable but it's extremely tanky, has a solid damage output and offers a high level of control over the battlefield and is beginner friendly
1)Curios are Trash: Toughness Curios aren't a real issue for this build and can be chosen but labeling them as trash entirely, I don't agree. I advocate for Toughness on Curios because, in my experience(and i say it again in my experience), there's no better option and it increases survival chances. You can take whatever you want but in games with Gunners or many ranged opponents, you might run into problems.
2)Standard Shovel: With the Serrated Blade talent, it helps you to kill easily hordes with short heavy attacks and stagger them, so you don't take melee damage and gain control over the horde. You don't need to activate a special attack (which costs time in Auric) except for Elites and Mutants to interrupt their attacks. The mobility is completely sufficient unless you always want to run away, then you can take the knife. But if you're in a situation where you're alone in a corner without dash situations, you're done for, and most players don't use a knife anyway.
3)Plasma spam without no ammo aura: Due to the talent nerf, it's completely pointless to invest in it, especially with Plasma. Plasma already has a solid base damage, allowing you to one-shot most things with minimal ammo consumption. Regarding the ammo aura, where you get about 1% ammo every 5 seconds after killing an Elite or Specialist, that's approximately 1 ammo for Plasma. I prefer having a constant 5% damage boost, as you still need to collect regular ammo with or without the ammo aura.
4)Bleed on melee: Yes, it greatly increases your wave clear. I've tested it with and without and also with the knife but the best was with the shovel. It feels the best, and you have the most control there. As for the point about "absolutely no damage," that's not true, in combination, it's extremely effective.
5)10% Rending: The 10% Rending is directly on the way, it's practically a free damage improvement. I see no reason to invest in another point for consistent damage agains armor.
6)Krak Grenade: And here's why I choose Shovel + Bleed + 5% Damage Aura over Frag Grenade + 1 ammo every 5 seconds. "Grenade Tinkerer only increases the boss damage of the Krak Grenade," that's why I choose it, grenades are mainly or mostly for bosses.
7)Reciprocity: Yes, this talent is strong, but it's not really necessary in this build since Plasma has a low dash count. You'll mostly kill everything from a distance and the potential of the talent to be fully utilized isn't as common. But it all depends on your playstyle.
My friend, I would advise you not to dismiss everything as trash and also consider other players. Most players struggle in Auric because their build or skills aren't sufficient. The build is kept simple and yet very effective. I wouldn't release a build unless I had personally completed multiple Auric Maelstroms without really encountering any issues, and if I did, I would mention it in my video.
Honestly I would say that the devils claw sword is a better option horde clearer for beginner players, for advanced players the catachan knife is better
@@jay-brodi7953 Ok let me break down the reasons for my points.
Curios: Having toughness curios is good, 3 are too much tough. You should bring 1 stamina curio. 3 gunner resist is worthless because of diminishing returns, the third gunner resist only gives 4-5%. Veteran also has high tougness DR already so that Gunner DR gets further reduced in effectiveness. 1 or 2 is ok but you shouldn't run DR at all because the situations where you would need it are avoidable and shouldn't happen in Auric Maelstrom. Ability cooldown is great always run 3. What you should run for the other 3 is stam regen and a mix of block and sprint efficiency. Stamina is your lifeline.
Shovel: It's the worst vet melee by far, recommending beginners to take it is like shooting their kneecaps and telling them to run a marathon. If you want a shovel take one of the new ones they can actually kill hordes and elites. Dodging and pushing is all the horde control you need. Knife is not for running away from enemies, it doesn't have the best horde clear but it can deal with every situation effectively and with minimal risk. Or you take powersword mk6 and 1 to 2 shot every elite in the game.
Ammo aura: the nerf is wildly blown out of proportion in Maelstrom you will be killing specialists pretty much every 5 seconds so you will get your team at least one full refill of ammo. Damage aura does practically nothing except for making a boss die 3 seconds faster.
Rending: This is a huge can of worms so I won't go into details but 10% rending does nothing for your plasma and next to nothing for the shovel.
Grenades: 9 times out of 10 shredder is just the better nade since you already have the plasma for boss damge. It is better when you run a "only scab faction, mostly melee" maelstrom.
Reciprocity: You don't want this for plasma but to aid in horde clear. With the shovel it's worthless. That's why you take a different melee.
Most people struggle in Maelstrom because they have a massive skill issue and/or are running shit melee weapons like the shovel offloading actual horde clear to their mates.
@@Mosley728 yep this is it
@Bopiz787 Thanks buddy, for your detailed explanation and I now agree with you on some points. For example, the Shovel may not have the best horde clear but it provides good stagger with solid damage. However, I believe that I can better showcase my standpoint in a gameplay video and delve into some things more precisely.
ok dude, now make spray and pray braced autogun s tier build.
kino gaming
awful build
telopts says plasma is OP
but all us aimlets need the crutch
plasma been op for a while it just has worse ammo efficiency after the ammo aura nerf lol
