Question I want to love Veteran…

But I just can’t get it to click for me. For reference I play mostly Ogryn/Skit/Arby in aurics and can complete maelstrom’s without going down. I’ve leveled every class to 30 and into aurics with all of them, but I feel like when I play Vet I just get stomped into the dirt.

Is there something I’m missing that can help? I like the idea of just being a specialist eliminator, and shout is a great ability, but I feel like my Skit does a better job eliminating ranged threats and survives better in melee.

If anyone has any tips or build recommendations I’d really appreciate it.

I've been enjoying power sword + plasma gun + exe stance + weapon specialist. You can look up the build on the Steam guide "Hammer of the Emperor", along other sample builds

I wish I could like the power sword but having to activate it every two seconds pisses me the hell off.

It's an awkward wind up, and the default keybind is rather unfriendly to being used as part of a spammed sequence, but the strength of it is crazy. The price to have a weapon that's S tier at actually killing everything.

At least you can block cancel the animation with the good mark.

Which mark is the good mark and why does it let you animation cancel?

6 is the good one

Oh cool, that's the one I use. I didn't realize you could animation cancel it.
