Lmfao I was just about to post that the big slug definitely says beast of nurgle, not corruptor.
The stationary eye is sooooo much easier at least.

Chainsword is good for Elites, rev it up and hit them. It doesn't feel great for Hordes though, since it doesn't have great cleave. You can cheese the heavy atk though (lame) by tapping your switch wpn button back and forth to cancel the longish hvy atk animation. For Hordes, I guess you would want a weapon with Relentless as its Light Atk chain, I've only seen Relentless on heavy atks though.
I dislike the secondary objective system, so far, since the game really punishes you for searching. 100% of the time I run around looking for stuff, away from party, I end up getting a Mutant or Dog on me, plus the Weekly isn't party friendly. Someone else picks up a grimoire? No credit for you!
They really need to spend some time on tweaking Character progression, its really weak and super basic. Gear progression is fine so far though.

My biggest beef is that 75% of the time, when you complete the secondary objective...You get jack and shit, even though it says it in the description of the mission!

Another bitch about clarity. Looking at guns, no values on the various bars, so like if i go to upgrade it, shows a rating increase, but the bars appear the same. And even what the bars are can change, so like I'm looking at a lasgun and it has a bar that says colateral (aoe?) vs my equiped lasgun has a stoping power bar.
When you inspect melee, different symbols but no clarity what for example on a heavy swing strikedown vs relentless or vanguard means.
When it shows under light attacks 2 vanguard then a strikedown does that mean 2 lights then hit heavy for the strikedown vs just 3 lights will do 2 vanguards ending in strikedown (vs heavy just shows strikedown twice, hence confusion on does that mean I should 3x light strike vs 2 light and a heavy.

Collateral is piercing(how many bodies it will go through), so great for hordes but terrible against carapace.

I edited some further info/questions. How many different armors are there, first time hearing carapace, is "elite" just unit type or armor, I've seen flak and forget the name for some heavy sounding armor.

I enjoy the 2h chainsword over the 2h hammer. The chainsword cleaves very well with heavy 1 -> push block attack -> repeat chain. You could heavy 1 -> light 2 -> repeat to cleave, but I like the push block attack to create space.
A rev'd up chainsword, with out the charge, and Light 1 attack will kill shotgunners, flamers, trappers, snipers, and dogs. With the charge attack, you will take out maulers, mutants and reapers (sometimes if you are able to get a bulwark in the back you can take it out in one go, but the always seem to turn on me with their shield up before I get to strike them, recommend heavy 1 when dealing with all of the ogryn variants).

Flak & Carapace are the two different armors. Carapace is only on the ogryns as far as I know... could be wrong.

I was lv 2 preacher, hated it, working on veteran, but now im starting to wonder about going back preacher since Im liking melee a bit more and they have those unique weapons. But being able to tap a button to single out and nuke down distant elites is very nice as well....

From what I understand the Power Sword is a fantastic weapon for the sharpshooter. Before changing gears, I would atleast try a couple of runs with that weapon before bailing.

Only 11, so not sure when I get it. But some of the instant regen of the preacher is another attraction.

Veteran doesn't come alive until level 15 when you get one of the following which really turns you into a power-house.
- Acquire a grenade very 60s (I use this with the plasma gun)
- 20% reload speed reduction (I'd use this for the bolter)
The crashes yesterday were really bad, I hope they get it figured out. I played for 5-7 hours straight and only got a few levels due to crashes and apparently it doesn't always let you reconnect.

Pop into the training area, can test different loadouts/weapons you have with damage numbers. I learned a lot, like the ogryn latrine shovel destroys everything, not sure if that is a bug or not but it is 100% their best weapon. The overhead charge attack does almost double the damage of the bull cleaver, great crowd control and from what I can tell the best damage against armor.

Do you just spam light or heavy on those elites? Or more specifically, lets say you rev, then swing, are you just button mashing that or actually reving point blank to use that again.
Some of the axes have special attacks, but I dont see most of them doing anything worth the long animation vs just your light/heavy

Test zone was locked until recently, quite nice. So not sure what pens what (ie maybe a hellbore heavy laser will pen but not anything rapid), but carapace on heavy melee guy (threat 2) is only on his head for example. My guns deflect all shots except crits, but then rest of his body takes hits fine, so I guess I just gotta chunk through instead of aiming for that head.
Vs one of the gunners, calls out his head as unarmored, but doesnlt say his body has anything. 3rd type. Head was flak, rest nothing, but still takes more than a body shot.
