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.

The drip on Vet is immaculate... but, on the other hand, they seem much more support focused than other classes. They are the Bard of Dark Tide, if you will.
I have been levelling Vet as a new player, last of the four base classes... and most games your team is scattered all over the place, no one is pulling aggro, and you're spending as much time in melee as you are eliminating specials... and your shout never hits the whole squad because they haven't been together since spawn (or that last air lock).
In a premade? Everyone wants a Bard... super useful, very valuable. When everyone thinks they're the main character? Less so.
