You're welcome :)
+Void Games
Sienna is a Fire Mage my dude, different from a witch.
Fixed
Void Games not all heroes wear capes ;)
Wait, victor and sienna aren't human? ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED
Void Games thank g
I knew I was gonna like this guide when you said don't focus on the scoreboard!
Bardin's Ranger class is actually very good. He auto crits while in his cloud and if you have a trait on something that gives ammo for crits, he can sit in that cloud blasting his shotgun and wipe hoards.
Yeah hes not useless but hes still one of the worst options. His sniper is great for 1 shot specials and armor units but overall hes still lower tier
Right now Ranger Bardin is one of the most badasses support classes in the game, but you need to level up to level 20 to get a 20% random potion drops from elites and level 30 to grant a temporary HP regen and attack speed boost to all allies inside your ultimate (the smoke ability)
EDIT: it's true that ironbreaker and Berserker are stronger at lower levels (i.e. below 14 included), but at higher levels I prefer ranger bardin thanks to its "late game" talents.
@@CarloArmato Yeah Bardin in the hardest difficulties is great support, A tier class
The way I opt to play a Ranger Vet Bardin is taking probably a greathammer for reliable cleave and armor breaking - supported by the Crossbow for reliable sustained dps, and build for support skills to help out my team, excluding level 5 trait where I take temp health on stagger (really easy to build with a hammer). He's really good at bolstering whatever position may be falling behind.
Thank you
i would love an updated video if you would be willing nubkeks... i remember watching this during my first like 10 hours of gameplay and feeling like i was missing something and doing things wrong this vid helped so much... anyway hope your well bro :)
Nubkeks, at 15:34 you talk about Sienna taking damage from venting. Make sure you mention that she can vent safely as long at the bar is grey and not red.
Very well thought out video, I have found so far nearly every single sienna is using the laser beam staff for its low overcharge and high consistent damage at long range however and it deals well with hordes even WITH it being a beam instead of an aoe.
I played a lot of Pyromancer and i like machine-fire staff the most, its alternative shot (aka sniper thunder) just destroys hordes because of piercing capabilities. And you feel like Zeus ;)
druiddreads i definetly promote the beam staff strat, though personally given battle mage's ventillate passive, i would consider it the only class i would prefer short gouts of flames that can leave me with some downtime off the staff. Though really, a sienna should always be using their staff
Just got this game for Christmas,love the cooperative game play,so much fun!!
Thanx for the great yet straightforward tips & info..just got this game in the mail & downloading it now
"I really like the greatsword, its great"
That guy in the backround - da dum chchchchchchch
Glad to see your channel growing. Keep up the good work Mr. Keks
16:41 why does the fire mage need a lighter to use the bomb pick up item?
I'd ask why a lighter is even in a game that looks to be in medival times but than again its warhammer so what I really want to know is why can't you use chainsaws,mech suits and assault rifles like in warhammer games other than vermintide including the pen/paper vers.
@@jamesryan099 because in warhammer, there is sort of two universes; Sci-Fi and Fantasy. They arnt in the same universe basically.
@@jamesryan099 Black powder.
@@jamesryan099 there's a reason why the one with chainsaws, mechsuits and assault rifles is called 40k, there are subtle differences between the universes, besides the age that is, in fantasy there are winds of magic, and in 40k there is the warp, two different things.
Because summoning magic in this universe comes with extremely unpredictable results. Each USE of the winds of magic can go really wrong. Risking dangerous side effects to light a bomb just isn't worth it.
I just got the game, and this helped me so much. Thank you! You've got a new subscriber!
This guide is pretty outdated though. Some of the things he recommends are no longer very relevant.
You explained it soo good I watched the whole video without loosing a bit of focus. Thanks
Did not know about the Witch hunter rapier special free shots, awesome thanks!
I agree with you on that,so many people hold you up cause they want more kills lol instead of finishing the job!
Great intro video. Now that this is finally coming out for consoles, looking forward to grinding my way through another game!
Iron breaker bardin
When you play him. use a warhammer, and a drake cannon
Armored enemies does not exist
Small enemies does not exist
Bosses only exists for seconds
Mystery Man lol just got the game like 2 days ago and I’m loving my chad iron breaker Bardin
So OP. Playing mostly Victor and tried ironbreaker. Was so much easier to stay alive
The problem with ironbreaker, you fall into many beginner traps. You get used to blocking and attacking rather than dodging and picking the fights
Works on veteran but is bloody useless on Legend.
@@bobuscesar2534 why useless om veteran
Even before recent changes, there was no ranged weapon zoom on any of the Elf's weapons that didn't already have it.
Salty's Rapier also has a surprisingly deadly Heavy Charged attack, which means if you hold a Charged attack long enough it will deal more damage than a normal charged attack, typically only worthwhile against bosses, particularly when they're turned away or otherwise not targeting you.
Elf's longbow and swift bow also have weapon specials allowing more zoom, long bow gets 1 more zoom, swift bow gets 2 more
So proud of myself. By the end of my first game ever as elf gal, I knew to reserve ammo and take out specials fast
Good job, thats called common sense
@@Paronak ♡ Something many lack
Ranger is the best utility. You may not consume consumables so with pot share + healing share you'll keep the party alive. They also do great special/elite kills.
dude this video is Pre release, everything he said in it is false at this point, not to mention he doesnt have played all heroes to the point of even unlocking all the careers yet, for a person like me who dumped around 3k hours in the game (and V1 together) videos like this are pure cringe cuz people pretend their experts while clearly their kinda plebs
I just played Kerillian yesterday for the first time that i played the game, and i found that the rapid-bow is amazing crowd control. essoecially since whenever the are huge hoards coming i generallly found an ammo crate nearby. but i was also able to pick of those specials when i aimed by bow and shot individually.
awesome video mate !
Best Vermintide tutorial I've so far seen.
How has the game seasoned on you ? Thinking of getting it
@@johnmendoza5990 Its a sick game, it really is, especially the graphics. Great in Solo or co Op.
@@johnmendoza5990 I havnt played this for over a year but I'm trying to get one of my World of Tanks Platoon mates into this so we can use Discord to slaughter the vermin :)
My main class is Kerillian (Shade) with dual daggers and a longbow. The daggers do well against small to medium sized packs of enemies, longbow to take care of specials and man, the ultimate is a boss destroyer. Especially if you have a purple potion, you can take care of trolls, rat ogres, etc. in seconds.
i run her with "every potion, every effect, 50% duration". you can still throw out 3 to 4 ults and you get the strengh dmg boost on top. not to mention the speed boost to keep up with running bosses.
and you don't care what potion you find, so no need to "save the purple one for boss". exspecialy nice with ranger with the potion talent
Two quick anti-horde tips that apply to all characters:
* If you use a weapon with a swipe heavy attack, fully charging it deals no bonus damage and is just a waste of DPS.
* Weapons like Kerillian's sword+dagger that have light attack swipes and thrusts/downward swings and be block-cancelled (blocking right after an attack) to reset your attack chain, letting you swipe hordes non-stop without weaving in 1-2 single-target attacks every time.
Great vid man!
love it thank you for the info
big help
Not bad, one thing that needs to be pointed out about sienna is that her firewalk quite often will get stuck on small obstacles that other "dash skills" (Like Foot Soldier's Handmaiden's and Zealot's) would ignore as Firewalk is instant opposed to continuous. Also her fireball staff will infinitely pierce unarmoured enemies if you use the charge shot, making it (the best/)an extremely strong horde killer.
Great intro video. Lot's of good information for beginners.
Personally, I think Kerillian is somewhat of a tank by the time you get the talent that grants you temporary health for every kill you get. Also, I prefer the glaive over the spear, given how you can spam your melee attacks against Chaos Warriors and Stormvermin without worrying about hitting their armor, and how much damage it can dish out.
Everyone gets the temp health gained per kill talent at the same level on every class. Not just Kerillian.
Anthony Paulino
True, but I feel like when it comes to hordes, she is nigh unkillable (excluding special enemies), given how she can spam arrows at first, and then use the glaive or spear.
Of course, I am not referring to Legendary, for I have not played the difficulty yet.
I just see too much Kerillians on the floor during hordes. Nigh unkillable are Footknight and Ironbreaker by default. Kerillian is nigh unkillable during hordes when played skilled.Just like all the other classes.
After playing the game for about 10 hours, I noticed one of the players in my group perfectly resembled the example of the Kerrillian wasting all their ammo on standard enemies. When I tried out a full melee build with the warrior priest that became increasingly annoying when a gattling rat appeared.
As a new player doing quick play runs with other low levels I find that the best strategy is to be at least decent in two different roles. Often times other new players don't really know what is happening and what they should be doing and spam arrows at basic slave rats. My current best way of doing QP with randoms is Kruber with a two-handed greatsword for cleave and a handgun for sniping. I used to play Vermintide 1 for a while and if there's one thing that both games have in common is the players completely oblivious to their surroundings. Being able to deal with a horde AND snipe that packmaster currently dragging your Kerilian away because she's playing with a blindfold is a way of success AND making your team think you should be the one calling the shots and leading the way.
Establish dominance over your teammates by being competent, and they might follow you. Not will, just might. Herding cats is a tough job.
great video this is super helpful got this game yesterday , any videos on dealing with the giant specials?
Don't have all the strats yet. The core strat is that it's a 4 person job, prioritise kiting and not taking damage and trust your teammates to do damage when you have aggro
lol ( Trust your teammates) just played a quick game there after your vid, never knew the witch hunter had that special shoot with rapier handy for specials to stagger.
nice to hear and Irish voice on videos aswell
this game reminds me of Gauntlet Legends as an FPS
i've always thought of it as old school Gauntlet but yeah I agree
Agree
I'm definitely feeling those vibes when I play.
I run waywatcher with a spear and longbow, i am not the best at timing with blocks but im a tank/anti special/ dps so i can change quickly in battle for whats needed, although with the spear its not the best for horde clearing
How have I only learned of this game now. I'm gonna buy.
Not that it's terribly important, but building Ranger Veteran for crits isn't a bad idea. The two-handed hammer is damn good for getting headshots and taking down armor. His career ability stacks really damn well with increased crit damage Grudge Rakers, just cos' each projectile gets an automatic crit while in the smoke, which can absolutely melt enemies and cuts through armor as though it doesn't exist. He's in the "dps" sort of role you detailed, but didn't really seem to assign to anyone.
Step 1: Git Gud.
Step 2: Pick Kerillian.
Step 3: Realize you wasted time to Git Gud.
Step 3.5: Just sit back and relax.
Step 4: Profit.
good explanation of the first part of every class. but what about 2nd and 3rd subclass???
The Video says Base classes
Haven't played in a long time but my favorite dwarf was the item spawner. Either played on easy or medium but, especially on medium, alot of people won't walk 5 feet back and sometimes 2 feet to the left for a potion. Just cause u got health doesnt mean u should pick up this pinged potion, I got one and u got an empty slot.
Hell yeah nub plays Vermintide!
Regarding your segment about the Ranger Career for Bardin: Things may not play out exactly the same as in V1 because of the differences in both player and enemy attacks, and the new enemy variety, but Bardin and Kruber have access to the Handgun, the highest damage hitscan weapon with a high headshot multiplier which made them the best special snipers. That 20% reload speed comes in really handy for that, especially on harder difficulties. They also have access to the greathammer which was one of the better cc weapons along with shields for hordes. It's a little different now with shields and armoured enemies more frequently stopping your swing from infinitely cleaving, so your heavy attack chain often has to be interrupted with a few light attacks to knock shields away. Because of this I think the hammer may not be as consistent as it was for keeping hordes at bay.
Now none of this really matters on the first two difficulty levels (or even the third if you're one of the really good players with a few thousand hours in the game) since you can [and it is necessary to] avoid almost all damage with smart movement, positioning and use of terrain, blocking, and dodging.
On Wizard: vent (reload) before your overcharge passes the first bar on the scale and you won't take damage for normal casting. Depending on career or in more intense situations you may overcharge more to quickly deal with some strong enemies before switching to melee. And it dire situations you may have to unload and overcharge a lot and then ventilate, since taking damage from ventilating is better than being overrun and dying rather than reviving your allies.
hi there! random question: Some weapons say "headshot damage", does that mean that weapons that do not have this do no additional damage whatsoever when head is targeted?
All weapons do additional damage on headshots, but weapons with "headshot damage" do bonus headshot damage (so even deadlier headshots).
Looks great never seen it
Thank you
Or you take the Glaive Longbow combo for Kerillian and have great cleave, AP, Sniper for specials and get ammo back for every time you use your ability
I honestly suggest swift bow over long bow for Kerillian, she levels up to gain almost infinite ammo and it’s a one of a kind weapon; no other character has something that can shoot that fast or much (Salty did, but BoP got a reload time now). This and duel dagger make her close to slayer; not as strong melee but crazy fast melee and range abilities.
Many argue that longbow does more damage and is better, but imo swift bow offers way, way more opportunities to protect far off teammates from hordes, is forgiving against non armored opponents/specials with the spam shot , or you can keep hordes at bay altogether/thin them out. Just learn how to fire fast ads and get used to not shooting your teammates.
Watching the gameplay and hearing what he has to say, I'm convinced I know more about this game then he does... and I suck lol.
Looks fun just downloaded it on Xbox hopefully I can get good at
why are some of the skill explanations different than in game?
for example siena's passive tranquality, in game it only says 8 seconds automatic ventilation. the bottom half about increased spell charge speed and range damage is missing.
did it get nerfed?
When the game was released officially, they hide those passive skills in the talent menu. Next time you're there, you can see them at the top of the talent screen and mouse over them. Should have the same flavour text as seen in the video and when the beta was around.
Wow, I didn't even know block canceling was a thing :OO
With the Dwarf, I do agree the Ranger feels a lot weaker than his advance careers right now. However, he does have his uses and just being on the field means everyone's not so strapped for ammo because of his passive. He actually works better when your teammates are running their advanced careers in my opinion. For instance, if you have a group that's running a Footman, Zealot and a Shade or Handmaiden, he might be a really good choice if you equip him with crossbow for special control. Yeah, the Waystalker is undeniably better at it, but he is still a very good second option.
Pyromancer Sienna with Crit, Dagger, Bolt staff with -4 overharge on crit, can fill every roll except maybe panic. because her rapid fire bolts SHRED HORDES and you can do it forever because your overcharge stays at half with her passives giving her UNLIMITED POWWERR. Ive killed bosses spamming her career skill on legend because it has such a short cooldown and sniping specials from 10 miles out with her zues lightning bolt. But if shes completely surrounded and no one is tanking she gets fucked extra hard
Gotta disagree with you on Bardin. His Ranger class is really good. Equip him with a one handed axe for shield breaking and armor piercing so he can kill chaos warriors in melee easily. The one handed axe has a better attack pattern than the two handed axe, only has marginally lower damage, but it is significantly faster and unlike the two handed weapons, you can cancel attacks with blocks. For his ranged weapon, equip him with the crossbow. 30 bolts and an aggro reset in disengage makes him extremely good against bosses. The crossbow also has enough ammo to be useful for packs and it has the added bonus of having penetration so you can kill loads of enemies with just a few shots.
Dude what bardins ranger form is great, his crossbow snipes special units and elites easily and his ability staggers surrounding units and lets you pound enemies while being unseen.
10:30 Was i the only one who checked my discord?
It’s weird that the rapier does more damage on head shots because usually you can’t peers a skull with one
I am a bardin main and I have fun with every class he has and I do better that everyone I group up with. Bardin is better that all of the others in my opinion.
Markus, orange halberd with 20% attack rate increase when you hit a crit, talent into every 5 hits give you a crit, and hitting 4 enemies at once gives 20% attack rate increase, great for hordes, 40% attack increase and wide sweeps, and for single target damage 20% attack increase(you will hit 5 times in a row before your 20% runs out ) AP. You'll be able to damage everything and fast, however, not great at tanking, and with how much you'll get the bosses attention with your damage it can suck. And I personally take hand gun to help take specials down at range, but range is more of a personal thing I think.
This game reminds me of the legendary lord of the rings return of the king game from years ago!!
I think Bardin's Ranger Veteran would be a bit better if his special ability affected allies as well, so you could use it for a moment of respite in the mid of a horde battle or able to pick up a downed team mate in a hectic situation.
in al honest id see my self playing the dwarf and mercenary compared to the others the dwarf cause I love a good shotgun and the human when i feel like horde clearing or my team needs it
Ranger veteran is very strong. Also with Kruber you go with executioner sword and repeating handgun
I wonder, do they have any class / race bonuses / weapon bonuses. In VT1 your weapon types had different attributes, like armor piercing, speed, attack radius, etc... The dwarf may fall into one of those things where maybe all his attacks are armor piercing. I remember the dwarf being quite good, at least for tanking, in VT1.
Yes his melee weapons often have crowd control or armour piercing. The shotgun destroys stormvermin. Having played him more I'm starting to like him. With an ammo trait or the ammo talent at 15 he might be v strong
If the greataxe has the same light attack as the first game it should just eat storms. While on the topic of stormvermin, it should be noted that shieldbreaking weapons are pretty important now since dodging is better than it was, so it's easier to avoid normal stormvermin, but shield bearing enemies are much harder to deal with in groups if you don't have a shieldbreaking weapon.
Glaive heavy knocks shields away with the first hit to execute with the second making it great for this.
Three tips on the rapier? Everyone knows rapiers only have one tip
Bardin makes the Dwarves proud.
15:33 i always thought it was the overcharge that did the damage not the venting
i have been playing for about 5 years i had no idea victors sword gun combo had unlimited ammo shows how often i play witch hunter lol
Fairly good guide. Gained a lot of points for talking about the different roles that need to be covered by the group. Lost most of them for saying tank, tanky, or tanking. But overall a good basic guide.
One thing that you should focus on more and apply to all the characters is what you said at 14:36. All the characters roles are determined by the weapons they take. Use the 2-handed sword on Saltzpyer and now you are horde clear. Take the Falchion and now you are more special/armorer killer. Each weapon has its strength against the different enemies and has far more impact on your play style than the class you pick. Like Kruber as Mercenary with a 1-hand mace and Handgun is going to be pretty bad at anti-horde or controlling the horde.
So your analysis of Bardin's Ranger is pretty bad because of this oversight. If you take the Crossbow or Handgun and the 1-Hand Ax or Warpick and combine them with your class ability you become a great anti-special with a panic button. Because you are now the only person in the game who when surrounded by a horde and with a boss breathing down your neck can say "Time out! Let me just snipe that Globadier first then we can get back to fighting." Bardin as the ranger is great for taking out specials the are in the distance or in the back field because he can hit his special, not be attacked by anything, and take his time to aim at them. Kerillian on the other hand may have a hard time getting her class ability to target the special through the horde or around the boss, or maybe can't stop blocking for long enough.
Meanwhile Champion difficulty has ''oh shoot a horde, some elites and a boss'' in the same time moments
What lvl do these unlock at?
I only play witch hunter. I got extremely good at rapier stab headshots in the first game, and I bring along a crossbow for taking out any specials I'm lucky enough to see coming. Plus, I just love the speed of the rapier; everything else feels lead-weighted by comparison.
You can ult in this game??
Not sure why you made a separate sniper and special killer role. Typically both are one and the same.
Being a big fan of L4D, WWZ, Deep Rock Galactic, don't know why I never playerd Vermintide. Time to start I guess.
It takes months to get all 5 toons to 40, I got 4 to 40 with lots of beer and lots of loud obnoxious music :)
Installing the game now and im going to be a dwarf
This game reminds me of Killing floor and left for dead!! Looks fun!
Trent Knight Excellent summary comparison! (I've played many, many hours on both)
i love this game, but i hope they balance the classes a bit. kerillian is just absurdly good compared to like 60% of the other classes.
Why do these games always come out way before I’ve heard of them? At first I thought vermintide came out around August or September.
Ranger Veteran is pretty ok for Legend True Solo play.
you call the halbert a hatchet, I wonder if I can call my drakegun a lighter
Thinking of buying this today is there people still playing online
on PS4 yes
Are you from Cornwall?
As Kerillian don´t use your ammo on regular enemies. *Proceeds to use ammo on regular enemies*
Step one, don't play the elf. Congratulations you're not terrible, good job.
On the other hand you can start playing the elf, get good at her, and be an amazing teamplayer just so your team doesn't get the usual Kerilian main fuckhead who does nothing but run into hordes and alerts patrols.
What hoards when you have a grudge-raker and 30% ammo pick ups? Just let me stand in front of a konga line and I'll thin it to nothingness in two shots before they even get to butt slapping range, dawri.
Did you really call halberd a hatchet? :DDD
He's trying to speak a million bits per second so ???
Honestly the base is usually if not always the best
I don't know if it makes sense to call one of the roles the "panic button". Aren't all of their active abilities a sort of panic button? The forth role is really "support" which almost none of the starting classes really excel at but if you aren't chasing the scoreboard and spend a lot of the game blocking and shoving then you're supporting the team. Markus with a shield or Salty using his sort of infinite blocks are good at this, and their active abilities lend themselves to team support as well.
Then you get to Ironbreaker and Handmaiden who define the role a lot better.
It's a rough naming, but it makes sense. It's not really fit to be called support though, because it is actually a panic button. If you're using the area knockback (from Kruber / Saltz or Ironbreaker) on cooldown as soon as it's up, you're taking the risk of getting into trouble.
You usually want to save up these type of ultimate if you're getting overwhelmed by like a horde + a chaos patrol + ranged distance for example.
Also not every ultimate are panic buttons, I mean Waystalker and Pyro have a sniping Ultimate, Bounty Hunter and Huntsman have a delete boss ultimate, Zealot and Slayer have increase damage ultimate etc...
I totally dident chase down enemies with my bow and run out of arrows almost every game and run out of arrows but now I know not to do this ;)
usually i play with saltzpyre with the last class and be the im gonna charge at the hordes and go ham and being the tank
taking the dmg
Did they change the Witch Hunter? I can't seem to do the move where he will block and shoot with his left hand....figured they patched this unlimited ammo hack out of the game
i never was a hack, it was even in the first game. Saltzpyres rapir has a sidepistol with unlimited ammo, but poor accuracy and massive dmg dropoff over more the 2 to 3 meters.
look in keybindings for a "special weapon attack" or sth like that.
on waywatcher you can even zoom in more with her bow by using that key.
do you recommend playing with keyboard and mouse or controller?
Definitely mouse and keyboard for any fps!
Ore button?
I say Ranger veteran is one of the best supporting characters, but he just needs all his talents. He is a great source of team healing, potions/bombs, plus decent ranged
Give him a crossbow and he is an amazing sniper. Plus the high penetration of the crossbow means you can take out large numbers in a horde with a single shot. Axe and shield and he can do some decent tanking as well.
I play the Ranger when I'm getting bored of Kerrilean and still want to be shooting.
@@Harkmagic crossbow penetration got nerfed though, which is sad.
I like going with dual Hammers now, their crowd control is ace, then the grudge raker in most maps, but fortunes of war I run crossbow for sniping.
Yeah my most used classes are: Shade, Unchained, Slayer, Ranger, Zealot in that order
@@darko-man8549 I only recently got started on Vermintide2 and thought the penetration was insane. If it got nerfed at some point it probably was for a good reason.
@@Harkmagic it was very strong.
guide still viable? currently free on steam :D
checked discord at 10:31
decided to buy the game from this video
The accent struggle is real! Irish and American?
Is there a class that kinda focuses on explosives? Like a demolitionist or saboteur?
StretchyPlays No. :-/
5:05 this place looks like the Worgen starting area in WoW, with creatures similar to Worgens :D
