Switch perks to Auspex Scan on Parry. Longer Auspex + free of cooldown auspex on parry is way better than 75% more damage for few seconds that only really matters for bosses. Try "Priority Targeting" + "Battle Focus" + "Exper Timing". You get 12 second Auspex for 125% more damage + you get free auspex on every parry (including bosses) which also will last 12 seconds for whole team + it dramatically increases Majoris killing since it boost your damage by 125% on every parry. You have way more uptime of Auspex and it clears map and larger majoris spawns much quicker. Also it synergies better with what you say here - to shoot charge shot into parried enemies after Quick Shot (works also really well with nade launcher and melta obviously). With auto Auspex Scan on them from Parry - you will delete them. Try it out people. Plasma/Melta/Bolter with nade launcher - all work with it as well.

Yeah, it's insanely strong, especially when you're in a team with ability recharge synergy. We've found that when a sniper is in the group it pays well because auspex can be up a couple of times per large fight across the whole horde. With that being said, currently cooking a couple of builds with what you're already suggesting and I am having an absolute blast! Thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed comment! Out of curiosity, what class would you be interested in seeing builds for most, other than the tactical?

@@PhaseShifter I think since Tactical/Heavy and Sniper are most "meta classes" it would be nice to see Assault, since it's very high skill class that requires superior melee parries on chainsword or insane timing on charge hammer attacks. Put it perks that allows it to get 10% ult charge back on enemy hit on Dive ult (it's not 10% on hit, it's 10% PER ENEMY, so you get ult back everytime you charge into any large group, making Assault living Frag Nade :D ) and he is better than people make him be on Ruthless, specializing in fast clearing backline and large groups of mobs. Also Bulwark would be nice since after playing Ruthless on many classes I don't really see much value on him apart from his insanse Ult + revive.

I'll take this into account, i currently use. Auspex scan does 75% more damage, extremis and majors get 1 shot, auspex gets 50% back on extremis and boss scans. With various other perks for contested health. I don't use the plasma as its weak as hell at first just like the bolters. I use the relic melta which destroys majoris in 2 to 3 shots allowing executions for armour and minorsis enemies get 1 shot and give contested health back. Issue for me is plasma charging ammo consumption is a tad much for me and melta clears enemy waves easily so much they can't touch you. Basic gist, up close goodbye build is fun and reliable (for me personally) and auspex is almost always up. Plus. 1 shotting lichters, ravagers, zeruthropes and chaos terminators is just the best.

The Melta is so broken right now too - theres a bug that overheals you with the contested health mechanic; you can heal to full health from almost no HP if you fire into a big enough crowd, as long as you have the white contested health bar active, because for some reason it doesn't cap how many enemies you get your health back from with the melta. So melta = free health gun right now. Keep in mind they will probably patch this out. Even without this, the melta is so good. I have been running it on ruthless difficulty on inferno solo, and oh my god is it broken. Pair it with full auspex build and the perk that reloads your primary on executions and gun strikes from the bolt pistol, its a cake walk, even with just the master-crafted tier, because it also staggers enemies really well too. As long as you can play around ammo (which is super easy on inferno), you can fight waves pretty much indefinitely. This also works with any other class that has a melta weapon, so those are equally broken as well.
@joegallagher23

The overheal works with a bunch of weapons actually, it is very strong on the Las Fusil, the Thunderhammer, the Plasma Incinerator, and the Heavy Bolter. Probably works on other guns as well, but haven’t seen it myself. Definitely the strongest on Melta though.
@gavinfairbanks
9 күн бұрын
The heal works on every gun and melee. Honestly seems to me that you just heal for damage dealt while you have white health with no upper limit. Once your white health is gone you can no longer heal so it's most pronounced with weapons with large AOE and or single target damage that can heal most of all your HP in one hit.
@bb-6359

@gavinfairbanks really? I've never had the insane overheal you see from the melta being recreated using melee weapons, and the melta just seems to be the most consistent in getting your full health back super easily. I guess I'll have to test that out too, seems to me the whole contested health might be a little bugged... because surely this is not intended behaviour?

Kinda weird to me how most people playing tactical are building for the high bonus damage % because when you do that you are basically building the scan to be held into for most of the mission just to be used on the heavy hitting extremism enemies which only a few of even spawn during the entire mission. When instead it would be way more beneficial to go for scan duration increased by another 8 seconds + Enemy gets scanned on a parry + 100% Dmg on scan but duration is reduced by 4 seconds being time a scan lasts down to 12 seconds. So Popular Build •Scanning Extremis enemies reduces charge by 50% (waste since you only see like 4 of these enemies a mission so it forces you to hold onto scan just in case) •75%Dmg -25% radius •100% Dmg -4 Seconds Duration Alternative •+8 second Duration •Scans a enemy on a parry •100% Dmg -4seconds Duration Kind of a no brainer 175% Dmg for 4 Seconds VS 100%Dmg for 12 Seconds & Scan on parry which also gets the 100%dmg & duration.

While i do agree that the "marked for death" perk is a bit overrated given that these extremist enemies are quite rare, the other alternatives are borderline useless. Hindering enemies to call for reinforcement? Its either the ranged guys doing it, which you won't hit with a scan anyways or the the ones close by who usually die before they can do anything. No point in takingt that perk. Alternatively i found the radiant impact version to be quite underwhelming as well so I'd rather go for the one shot kill on an extremist instead, even if it's just one time during the mission. There is just no competition in this bracket. Imo those max dmg scan builds are more team focused builds that ideally have a sniper in the group. (Phase actually explains this in this video) Your scan is almost always up if you land those headshots. That being said, i really enjoy the parry scan variant of the tactical myself. If you're into a parry focused play style its just so damn good. But this works best with the melter. The grenade launcher build works better with the 200% scan variant or any ranged dmg build in general tbh. But why complain in the first place? be happy that there are more viable ways than one to enjoy this class.

You're absolutely correct on this with the caveat that my suggested build will operate better if in a pre-made team with synergistic perks choices and classes! As mentioned in the video I use scan parry version when I'm in rando groups or solo. With my pre-made group we get auspex scans up twice a fight sometimes (the sniper and the vanguard perks are insane for this synergy) My next build will be similar to what you've suggested! Thank you for commenting and contributing positively!

Problem of Plasma primary weapons in this game is that, low level experience with low tier weapons is not fun at all, especially when you compared to grenade launcher or melta. I tried Heavy's plasma and Tac's plasma, it only became strong from Relic weapon stage. Lack of ammo for charge shot is critical issue for low level low tier time frame. Grenade launcher or Melta is just the way... That is why this weapon's early weapon builds need some rebalancing.

It’s the unlimited ammo from the tactical perk that brings it alive. Before this perk, ammo conservation in the plasma sucks and you have to ration charged shots. Afterwards, you can spam unlimited charged shots at everything and just execute or bolt pistol headshot 1 major is every now and then.
