You forgot the most important thing about Bardin and thats his singing xD, i remember how i unimpressed i was with RV when i started vermintide 2 and then once i unlocked IB i just enjoyed the hell out of him
Bardin is also just an absolute bro. Seriously, he somehow manages to get along with everyone in the group. He has one voiceline with Sienna where he reassures her that not everyone is against her when she alludes to feeling that way, or something along those lines. He's just absolutely wholesome.
I dabbled in every character except Saltzpyre when I started playing Vermintide, and eventually settled on Bardin and Sienna. Recently, I picked up Salty Boy after seeing A Halfway Serious Guide to Bounty Hunter, and I've absolutely fallen head over heels in love with him. I enjoy every single one of his classes, and he's easily my favorite character now.
Same bro same. I watched his BH video and absolutely had to try him. I had never played Vicky but he's my favorite now. Chaining ults and killing a monster in under 10 seconds never gets old
Honestly dude, out of all the Vermintubers you're the best, I'm relatively new at the game, clocking at around almost 300h but all the content that you've made has slowly mesmerized me into loving this game all that much more, keep up the good work and to another 8k and more!
I agree, your guides short and sweet and easy to digest for new players looking to learn compared to 30-60 min videos floating around. Much appreciated man.
Hey I started playing huntsman with bow recently. I honestly finally understand why this bounty hunter for hipsters is so fun for you. Its a completely different experience from repeater handgun... the great thing about the headshots is the umph of the impact, and they dont feel so bad to spec into because you dont need all talents for ammo conservation with a bow. The feeling of a chaos warrior getting deleted by one crit to the head is priceless. But the skill it takes to slay with him is crazy.
It's very interesting to know which carrier others prefer to use. I like to use Grail Knight, Iron Breaker and Warrior Priest a lot. Oh, and congrats on 8,000 subscribers.
Congrats man on the 8k! You, Hitomi and chocoB are my favourite Vermintide 2 content creators and I really appreciate all of your vids. In fact, me and my buddies just recently made the jump to Legend and it's a blast! My top 5 should be like this: 5. - Ironbreaker 4. - Battle Wizard 3. - Witch Hunter Capitain 2. - Mercenary 1. - Ranger Veteran
I agree with pretty much everything you lay down! Just Huntsman would be swapped slightly out for Pyromancer as I haven't had enough time to warm up to Huntsman. It was fun being in your games for the first three on this video (I was Flufflebear the Pyromancer). Keep up the great vids man!
@@WetMagic I'm curious, did fatshark let you know they would do that? Did they ask you? I find when games respect the content creators, everyone wins big time
For me 1)Ironbreaker- A tank with my favorite range arsenal, flame throwers, shotgun, rifle, torpedo launcher, pistol and crossbow. 2)Waystalker- I really like her longbow. Fast, and does solid damage. Also just insane ranged DPS. Killing specials with 3 melee classes really lets them go hog wild. 3)Witch hunter captain- My go to for cata. And just so damn fun 4)Ranger vet- I like his weapons and I like his support kit. 5)Toss up between Battle wizard and foot knight Truth be told I could probably play any of these classes all day.
My list, not ranked: Warrior Priest - hammer supporter, no rapier nonsense (i hate that weapon, feels like swinging an oversized needle) Ranger Veteran - the ult, the support the...everything! i love it Foot Knight - the bull of Ostland...whats more to say there :) Unchained: i just love the difficulty that you have to manage your overcharge Battle Wizard: the flamey all-rounder + Slayer: because I role-play him as an educated aristocrat, collecting ravaged art, also most special kills with throwing axe is fun
guess im one of the new subs. thank you so much for these videos, they helped me get better in this game. I have been playing for a month or two, I am still learning, for example, how not to die from trashes on a legendary level :D
Congrats on 8k subs. I was really pleased to find someone putting out consistent quality Vermintide content, and I really look forward to watching you as we enter Darktide later this year.
I've found myself playing every career, but there's a couple that are just a genuine joy to play. I agree with your reasoning on every choice, by the way, particularly Foot Knight. Love the ultimate talent that lets you knock over Chaos Warriors, insanely satisfying. That said, my list probly goes as follows for just sheer enjoyment factor: 5) Outcast Engineer, with a build not too dissimilar from your "No Babysitting" build. Of course, I'd been running it as the obvious option well before I saw that video, so great minds think alike, I suppose. I particularly like the Grudge-raker on him; perhaps it's my affinity for shotguns, perhaps it's the name, or perhaps I just like having a ranged weapon that can bail me out of close-quarters situations on a ranged class. 4) Bounty Hunter, abusing the absolute meme that is the Repeater Pistol and Prize Bounty. Nothing like unloading the entire magazine of the Repeater Pistol into a monster or boss with the right-click, having every single shot crit, and then *unloading the magazine again* with rapid standard shots. Insanely fun. 3) Mercenary Kruber, with a build based around Paced Strikes buffs, an Executioner's Sword, and with On Yer Feet, Mates! There's something very satisfying about the slow, consistent swings of the Executioner's Sword, clearing through swaths of ratmen and northlanders with every chunky swing. 2) Unchained, with the Burning Flail and Coruscation Staff, and Enfeebling Flames. I love bonking Chaos Warriors with easy headshots from the flail, and debilitating monsters and hordes with the Coruscation Staff. Just a very satisfying tank class. 1) Witch Hunter Captain, specifically Rapier, Brace of Pistols, and a build based around crit and Flense. The raw damage he does while still being able to take hits is very satisfying, and I love every single line of dialogue. The man is an inspiration.
My Favourite’s so far have been Outcast Engi, Unchained, Waystalker, and Bounty Hunter, I just like squishy yet potentially high damaging or horde clearing characters
Congrats on 8k! I'm pretty new to your channel and Vermintide in general. Your content is really helpful and informative. If I had to make a list with my fairly limited time with the different career paths I'd have to say: 5. Battle Wizard 4. Warrior Priest 3. Sister of the Thorn 2. Bounty Hunter 1. Handmaiden
Off the top of my head and in no particular order my top 5 would be. Ironbreaker. Bottomless stamina when using miner's rythym and a shielded weapon was the first real build I created myself, I can also play on higher difficulties when I'm tired. Handmaiden - a threshing machine in melee and I love the mobility she has. Can just Swchip out of bad situations or change position. Grail knight. Beating up chaos warriors is just more satisfying with GK not sure why exactly. Battle wizard. Going through a horde then back to your own lines with flamewalk is fun. Witchhunter captain - just feels so satisfying to use with the rapier. I like to jump up on the tables in castle drachinfels like Errol Flynn
What's so interesting about this game is even if u play the same careers you can play them totally different with gear and talent setup. Like play very aggressive class defensively. I was thinking for a long while on my top 5, which I think has changed alot since I played in beta. Sienna pyro was my most played long time ago, but now I don't really play any and..I kinda dislike her(but pyro was super broken at a time with infinite ults). #1 zealot, I just love his super aggressive playstyle #2 huntsman, just badass with a bow and all played in beta. #3 ranger Bardin kinda hated other classes at 1st, ranger is just so fun and arguably best team support #4 shade is just super unique and focused on specials and bosses, u can just end any boss in under 20 secs. #5 this one is hard...changed a lot, maybe captain or mercenary but recently say warrior priest is damn cool and is unique + team support. I tend to play alot hard support or full aggro special/elite killers, pure tanks are kinda least interesting
This was surprisingly close to my own list. Huntsman's the odd one, since he has a kit that's potentially really rewarding, but that in practice I regularly get crushed when I play him. Ironbreaker was also my first real "main", and is crazy survivable while having mostly fun weapons (for a long time I didn't enjoy his shields that much, but recently have found the attacks that make them work) Foot Knight is a lot like IB where it's just so consistently solid (and also has fun weapons, especially after I've learned _his_ good shield attacks thanks to this channel). WHC is probably my second most played after IB, and as the person most likely to tag the most enemies in any given match it was satisfying for a class to _significantly_ reward that. Shade is satisfying for the insane boss murdering (slightly less popular than Grail Knight, but honestly seems more effective at the role...though that does come at a tradeoff of less survivability). Handmaiden probably replaces Huntsman for me, and is a bit similar really in terms of rewarding various skills. I most frequently run the 15% power talent if you aren't hit in the last 10 sec, and love her built-in dodge, but also enjoy the talent that amps up your next 2 attacks on push attack, since I use push attacks a lot too. Then add in the dodge talent that stacks up to 15% attack speed and she becomes surprisingly great at damage output. Slap on a useful aura and faster revives with an ult that gets you to that revive, and her kit's just really great overall. (But on the flip side, the ult is admittedly _really_ boring. It's insane utility, but it's not the really powerful moments of the other characters.)
My favourite careers, from each individual characters, are: 1. Foot Knight 2. Ironbreaker 3. Handmaiden 4. Warrior Priest (though I might give Zealot a shot) 5. Unchained As you can see, I am more into Tank and Melee-Orientated playstyles. Well, for the Unchained, it corresponds to my stupidity of overcharging constantly lol. And out of all, Ironbreaker is my most favourite, and I'm glad to see a fellow Ironbreaker here! Anyways, here is my like and sub. Keep up the work man!
Strangely enough, you echoed a lot of my own sentiments regarding some of the careers on here. My top five would probably be.. 1. Huntsman. (Longbow best bow.) 2. Battle Wizard. (The stagger and control potential with the flamesword and the really clutch teleport ultimate is a lot of fun to get good with. Plus the huge amounts of tools you get with the various staves.) 3. Ranger Veteran. (Mainly just throwing axe because it's WILDLY satisfying to hit a long range headshot with them.) 4. Witch Hunter Captain. (Mainly due to the Billhook. Absolutely adore the moveset.) 5. Shade or Sister of Thorns. (Mainly just dual swords since they feel very good to use and I also love yeeting the javelin.) And congratulations my guy, you're an awesome content creator and I hope life is treating you well!
I'm late, you're nearly at 9k now! Just want to say congratulations! I've been watching your channel on and off for years now (on and off because that's how I play Vermintide, I always end up taking a break then coming back to it). You're always my first stop when I get the ratslaying itch and your guides have been incredibly helpful to me, especially since I'm a console player and we have no way to get info or test things properly ourselves. Thanks a lot, Wet Magic and congratulations again ❤
I agree.. Fun-Factor and Comfort Level/Style is something that makes a great character.. Enjoyment that can outlast ones boredom of the game.. and comfort/style as like the most satisfying to use/with best comfort level and style.. it feels nice to play.. and functions well as a whole.. it has nice stability/consistency to it..
@@spacer0247 Such a fun class! On chaos wastes I use the pistol to shred bosses. And on regular quickplay I love the handgun to hunt down every special/elite. Also, his new fur coat is 🤌🏽
@@armonkaviani7808 Nothing is more fun then spamming Morgrims bomb on Chaoswaste with this little guy :) I run mine with Onehanded-Hammer and Crossbow and it packs a punch. Even tho the pistol is his Boss-shred, i really hate the asthetics and the powercreep of it. But you have a great taste, my friend!
played with you for one game like a month ago and one of the other players said they watched you and you responded nicely and had a wee conversation that made me intrigued and proceeded to watch all of your videos from then on
It's hard to not have one of those when you can play a fucking Irondrake. Then you learn the flamethrower sucks... you get good enough to reach cata and boom, it is great now.
I got hooked when I played IB for the first time in the chaos wastes, and found myself tanking 3 rat ogres and a horde of skaven and beastmen while my grail knight buddy set free our fallen comrades, the feeling of being both invincible and also crucial to your team's success is addictive .
Congrats on the 8k wet! Maybe it's time that I finally joined your discord to play with the people on there now that I've been in a video by pure chance lol
Witch Hunter Captain won on reddit as the best character in the game. He was up against Merc in the final. My list: Grail Knight Sister Foot knight Whc Merc
My list would be: 5 - Mercenary 4 - Warrior Priest of Sigmar 3 - Bounty Hunter 2 - Huntsman 1 - Witch Hunter Captain Huntsman isn't underwhelming, people just don't know how to play with it very well. It would be my favorite career, but there is no beating a man that will walk into a horde, chastise them all for being heretics and then just delete all of them in an instant while also easily shooting down every elite, special and monster that comes your way
My two favorites are Warrior Priest and Outcast Engineer because I love yelling with Salty and having an infinite ammo minigun that shreds hordes and monsters is fun
5. Warrior Priest 4. Waystalker 3. Witch-Hunter Captain 2. Handmaiden 1. Foot Knight Dishonourable mention to Sister of the Thorn. Not that she's my least favourite carreer, but as someone who tends to main supportive playstyles and/or Elves in pretty much any game that allows either, SotT should have been perfect for me as she was initially presented. But in practice she just doesn't feel like a support character at all and as such, while not my least favourite, she was the most disappointing for me.
@@bippo8901 because of her ,,main,, ult the thorn wall+ increased healing for the group, but the devs probably never though that 95% of player will use the DMG Ult+ Ult can stack 3 times + 3 cits per ult wich can stack up to 18 save crit hits if everyone in the group use theyr ult
Are you still planning to do a 24 hour stream since you hit 8k? I'm not sure if you had said that during a Livestream or during one of your more recent videos
For pure fun, I love BH the best. There's something so satisfying about abusing the crit shot, whether its using the free shot talent and double shooting your crossbow, or just shooting a Chaos Warrior in the head and killing it in one shot without using your special. Walking through the map shooting every single enemy that moves with a flintlock pistol is pretty fun as well lol
I know this kinda video invites lists in the comments, but I can't resist, so here we go. 5 Grail Knight 4 Warrior Priest of Sigmar 3 Handmaiden 2 Iron Breaker 1 Witch Hunter Captain
My list: 5. Huntsman 4. Grail knight 3. Zealot 2. Battlewizzard 1. Handmaiden As you said the bow really hits different on Huntsman but alot of times enemies make random movements or gets staggered and their heads wobble and u miss the Hs, wich he relies on...Handmaiden is arguably the best hero in the game - good dmg potential and insane survivability and mobility, making it huge clutch hero...Battlewiz also for the mobility and the clutch factor + insane dmg with cor staff and really easy temp hp with fire sword..and zealot n GK are just fun :D
1. Handmaiden (Spear & Shield push-a-tron 5000 with lots of extra stamina, Bladedancer dash!. Everything feels slow now) 2. Bounty Hunter (Volley Crossbow Sniping-Scrounger-The Shooting Class-Leave your melee at home. Big double pellet boss dmg. AXE & Falchion!!!) 3. Ranger Veteran (tanky-ninja-sniper-gives out ammo like oprah gives out cars) 4. Grail Knight (Made to be "The" Front Liner. Smite it from the top Smite it from the side. Spartan Shield vs gatlin gun. We shall fight in the shade) 5. Slayer (Chosen merely for the basic fun of Vermintide. Mind off. I heard you just want to destress and kill things. Well have i got a fun brainless career for you. Fast Attacks. Leap Slam Ult. Berserker RAGE!!!!)
Hmmm. I'm with you on Footknight and Huntsman. I love the purified huntsman with the bandana. Mean looking highway man vibes. Other than that Bounty hunter with pistol or Griffons foot feels very satisfying just blasting away. Unchained (and to a degree pyro) with the flail is very satisfying. I want to like Ranger Vet but I'm just not great with him. Suprised you love Ironbreaker. Not the most exciting and a lousey choice of hats. Wish they'd give him some more hat variations. Or a no hat option. Cog Hammer is one of my favourite weapons though. Love the sound of that thing.
My favourites are; 5. Unchained 4. Warrior Priest 3. Iron Breaker 2. Outcast Engineer 1. Slayer Slayer is just so far ahead of the rest, not only because he's the most fun to play (dual axes and dual hammers ftw), but he's the only character I feel comfortable going into Cata with
nothing will beat Bounty Hunter for me. Infinite ammo, monster dps, chaos knight deleting, and most importantly, stack building. Yes, I enjoy having that personal sidequest in every mission. Bad hats though.
Anyway, here is my list 5. Slayer, because nuclear dwarf 4. Zealot, because nuclear Sigmar fellow 3. Merc, because best morale lifter 2. Pyromancer, because bolt stuff goes boom 1. Unchained, because wizard goes boom
Hmmm. I have to say Ranger Veteran (best monster killer) -> Warrior Priest (hella lot fun to play) -> Sister of Thorn (second best monster killer) -> Slayer (beer bellied little shit murdering everything, whats not to like?) -> Battle Wizard (barbeque time)
5 everything else in no particular order honestly 4 Witch Hunter Captain 3 Grail Knight 2 Battle Wizzard 1 Shade Still on a break, can't judge Sister and Priest. Looking forward to them once we get more maps and achievements to hunt again xD
Wish I could relate.. Despite maining Saltzpyre, I can not for the life of me have fun on WHC for some reason. There's just something lame about him when compared to all his other classes, and I can't put my finger on what it is. Which is a shame, because I love the WHC's æsthetics
My favorites are: 1. Shade 2. Grail Knight 3. Huntsman 4. Sister of the Thorn 5. Footnight I think Huntsman is gaining traction as my favorite however; I've played him for ages now but I'm getting a lot better as him and enjoying him much more. I.E. based Huntsman player
For me the number 1 is the Foot Knight. I like the play style, the character rol and the looks (best armors in the game IMO). Number 2 Gotrek Gurnisson... I mean, Slayer. In 3rd position, Waystalker. Finally 4 is for Unchained
I have only been playing for a few weeks, but I tend to like the tanky characters the most at this point, especially the ones that can be clutch and save the game when things go wrong. My top 3 favorite careers right now are Handmaiden with spear & shield and moonfire bow, Foot Knight with spear & shield and repeater handgun, and Iron Breaker with cog hammer and drakefire pistols (although I will have to try the trollhammer torpedo since you speak so highly of it). I'm leveling up Saltzpyre with Warrior Priest right now, but it just does not feel as good as a tank that can clutch. His ultimate is also harder to use well than those other careers, so maybe that's why he doesn't feel as good to me.
Your thoughts on the longbow are very interesting. I actually think it is one of the most frustrating weapons to use. The thing where it zooms in right before you shoot is unbearable and I swear it's less reliable at hitting things serverside than the elf's longbow. That weapon is actually why I hate playing Huntsman.
Huntsman is really good but i hate him...ye i am bad as him :D. Witch hunter ye my first charakter i play and get him on max lv awesome Foot i really agree is sooo satisfying to drop down hord. Shade hmmm... idk after 209h i still dont play her XD maybe 1 time. I think my Number one is to Ironbreaker is really fun to play. For me is really fun to play Unchained to just burn everythink with Flail and Coruscation staff

You forgot the most important thing about Bardin and thats his singing xD, i remember how i unimpressed i was with RV when i started vermintide 2 and then once i unlocked IB i just enjoyed the hell out of him
So true! The songs are awesome 😂
Bardin is also just an absolute bro. Seriously, he somehow manages to get along with everyone in the group. He has one voiceline with Sienna where he reassures her that not everyone is against her when she alludes to feeling that way, or something along those lines. He's just absolutely wholesome.

Just a big fan of Bretonnian Longsword
Its the busted ass double smite for me. No more boss fights

I dabbled in every character except Saltzpyre when I started playing Vermintide, and eventually settled on Bardin and Sienna. Recently, I picked up Salty Boy after seeing A Halfway Serious Guide to Bounty Hunter, and I've absolutely fallen head over heels in love with him. I enjoy every single one of his classes, and he's easily my favorite character now.

Thats basically my list too haha, grail knight, ironbreaker, warrior priest, and then waystalker in that order.
1: Grail Knight
2: Bounty Hunter
3: Unchained
I don't really enjoy any of Bardin's careers and my Kerillian is still lvl 1 out of principal.

For sure! That has helped immensely.
@@WetMagic I'm curious, did fatshark let you know they would do that?
Did they ask you?
I find when games respect the content creators, everyone wins big time
For me
1)Ironbreaker- A tank with my favorite range arsenal, flame throwers, shotgun, rifle, torpedo launcher, pistol and crossbow.
2)Waystalker- I really like her longbow. Fast, and does solid damage. Also just insane ranged DPS. Killing specials with 3 melee classes really lets them go hog wild.
3)Witch hunter captain- My go to for cata. And just so damn fun
4)Ranger vet- I like his weapons and I like his support kit.
5)Toss up between Battle wizard and foot knight
Truth be told I could probably play any of these classes all day.
My list, not ranked:
Warrior Priest - hammer supporter, no rapier nonsense (i hate that weapon, feels like swinging an oversized needle)
Ranger Veteran - the ult, the support the...everything! i love it
Foot Knight - the bull of Ostland...whats more to say there :)
Unchained: i just love the difficulty that you have to manage your overcharge
Battle Wizard: the flamey all-rounder

My favorite:
5. Unchained
4. Ironbreaker
3. Slayer
2. Mercenary
1. Foot Knight
I'm digging mostly melee class
Congratulation and thanks for all the videos that got me into vermintide
This was surprisingly close to my own list. Huntsman's the odd one, since he has a kit that's potentially really rewarding, but that in practice I regularly get crushed when I play him.
Ironbreaker was also my first real "main", and is crazy survivable while having mostly fun weapons (for a long time I didn't enjoy his shields that much, but recently have found the attacks that make them work)
Foot Knight is a lot like IB where it's just so consistently solid (and also has fun weapons, especially after I've learned _his_ good shield attacks thanks to this channel).
WHC is probably my second most played after IB, and as the person most likely to tag the most enemies in any given match it was satisfying for a class to _significantly_ reward that.
Shade is satisfying for the insane boss murdering (slightly less popular than Grail Knight, but honestly seems more effective at the role...though that does come at a tradeoff of less survivability).
Handmaiden probably replaces Huntsman for me, and is a bit similar really in terms of rewarding various skills. I most frequently run the 15% power talent if you aren't hit in the last 10 sec, and love her built-in dodge, but also enjoy the talent that amps up your next 2 attacks on push attack, since I use push attacks a lot too. Then add in the dodge talent that stacks up to 15% attack speed and she becomes surprisingly great at damage output. Slap on a useful aura and faster revives with an ult that gets you to that revive, and her kit's just really great overall. (But on the flip side, the ult is admittedly _really_ boring. It's insane utility, but it's not the really powerful moments of the other characters.)
My favourite careers, from each individual characters, are:
1. Foot Knight
2. Ironbreaker
3. Handmaiden
4. Warrior Priest (though I might give Zealot a shot)
5. Unchained
As you can see, I am more into Tank and Melee-Orientated playstyles. Well, for the Unchained, it corresponds to my stupidity of overcharging constantly lol. And out of all, Ironbreaker is my most favourite, and I'm glad to see a fellow Ironbreaker here!
Anyways, here is my like and sub. Keep up the work man!
Strangely enough, you echoed a lot of my own sentiments regarding some of the careers on here. My top five would probably be..
1. Huntsman. (Longbow best bow.)
2. Battle Wizard. (The stagger and control potential with the flamesword and the really clutch teleport ultimate is a lot of fun to get good with. Plus the huge amounts of tools you get with the various staves.)
3. Ranger Veteran. (Mainly just throwing axe because it's WILDLY satisfying to hit a long range headshot with them.)
4. Witch Hunter Captain. (Mainly due to the Billhook. Absolutely adore the moveset.)
5. Shade or Sister of Thorns. (Mainly just dual swords since they feel very good to use and I also love yeeting the javelin.)
And congratulations my guy, you're an awesome content creator and I hope life is treating you well!
Thank you ❤️
You and PartyKnife, the two best Vermintide channels by far
Thank you ❤️
I'm late, you're nearly at 9k now! Just want to say congratulations! I've been watching your channel on and off for years now (on and off because that's how I play Vermintide, I always end up taking a break then coming back to it). You're always my first stop when I get the ratslaying itch and your guides have been incredibly helpful to me, especially since I'm a console player and we have no way to get info or test things properly ourselves. Thanks a lot, Wet Magic and congratulations again ❤
Salutes from Brazil, I love your channel . Amazing carrer list
My list :
5- Iron Breaker
4- Zealot
3- Foot Knight
2- Witch Hunter
1- Grail Knight
I agree.. Fun-Factor and Comfort Level/Style is something that makes a great character.. Enjoyment that can outlast ones boredom of the game.. and comfort/style as like the most satisfying to use/with best comfort level and style.. it feels nice to play.. and functions well as a whole.. it has nice stability/consistency to it..
My list is:
5. Huntsman
4. Witch Hunter Captain
3. Warrior Priest
2. Mercenary
1. Ranger Vet
Finally, another Ranger-Veteran enjoyer :)
@@spacer0247 Such a fun class! On chaos wastes I use the pistol to shred bosses. And on regular quickplay I love the handgun to hunt down every special/elite. Also, his new fur coat is 🤌🏽
@@armonkaviani7808 Nothing is more fun then spamming Morgrims bomb on Chaoswaste with this little guy :) I run mine with Onehanded-Hammer and Crossbow and it packs a punch.
Even tho the pistol is his Boss-shred, i really hate the asthetics and the powercreep of it.
But you have a great taste, my friend!
Im one of the New 1k subs 🤪👍.
Keep making the good content 👍
played with you for one game like a month ago and one of the other players said they watched you and you responded nicely and had a wee conversation that made me intrigued and proceeded to watch all of your videos from then on
Grail Knight, Warrior Priest, Ironbreaker, Zealot, and Sister of Thorn are my top 5
here before the one million sub club!
fun fact: we all went through an ironbreaker phase
some of us are still in it
It's hard to not have one of those when you can play a fucking Irondrake. Then you learn the flamethrower sucks... you get good enough to reach cata and boom, it is great now.
I got hooked when I played IB for the first time in the chaos wastes, and found myself tanking 3 rat ogres and a horde of skaven and beastmen while my grail knight buddy set free our fallen comrades, the feeling of being both invincible and also crucial to your team's success is addictive .
me - Kerillian main - Waystalker - Sister of Thorn - Shade - Shieldmaiden (favourite melee is Glaive). all this closely followed by Grail Knight .
Haha congrats man. Also i expected your #1 to be slayer not gonna lie. You always talk about how fun he is though I understand why.
Slayer is my #1 choice for extreme ping. I’m talking 200 or more. He’s pretty solid for that.
Congrats on the 8k wet! Maybe it's time that I finally joined your discord to play with the people on there now that I've been in a video by pure chance lol
You definitely should!
My list:
5: ironbreaker
4: ironbreaker
3: ironbreaker
2: ironbreaker
1: outcast engineer
Honestly my list too lmao
Witch Hunter Captain won on reddit as the best character in the game. He was up against Merc in the final.
My list:
Grail Knight
Sister
Foot knight
Whc
Merc
My list would be:
5 - Mercenary
4 - Warrior Priest of Sigmar
3 - Bounty Hunter
2 - Huntsman
1 - Witch Hunter Captain
Huntsman isn't underwhelming, people just don't know how to play with it very well. It would be my favorite career, but there is no beating a man that will walk into a horde, chastise them all for being heretics and then just delete all of them in an instant while also easily shooting down every elite, special and monster that comes your way
With right setup you can shoot 130 arrows with Huntsman. You basically can shoot nonstop. That build makes him a crazy class.
My two favorites are Warrior Priest and Outcast Engineer because I love yelling with Salty and having an infinite ammo minigun that shreds hordes and monsters is fun
Carefull, the 10k mark is near!
5. Warrior Priest
4. Waystalker
3. Witch-Hunter Captain
2. Handmaiden
1. Foot Knight
Dishonourable mention to Sister of the Thorn. Not that she's my least favourite carreer, but as someone who tends to main supportive playstyles and/or Elves in pretty much any game that allows either, SotT should have been perfect for me as she was initially presented. But in practice she just doesn't feel like a support character at all and as such, while not my least favourite, she was the most disappointing for me.
Sister of Thorns is not a ,,Support,, Char, she is the main Carry and DD of the round XD
@@Managarm1999 but she was advertised as a melee support so it’s kind of weird
@@bippo8901 because of her ,,main,, ult the thorn wall+ increased healing for the group, but the devs probably never though that 95% of player will use the DMG Ult+ Ult can stack 3 times + 3 cits per ult wich can stack up to 18 save crit hits if everyone in the group use theyr ult
Are you still planning to do a 24 hour stream since you hit 8k? I'm not sure if you had said that during a Livestream or during one of your more recent videos
The 24 hour stream will be done when 10k is reached. I did briefly mention it on the last stream though.
For pure fun, I love BH the best. There's something so satisfying about abusing the crit shot, whether its using the free shot talent and double shooting your crossbow, or just shooting a Chaos Warrior in the head and killing it in one shot without using your special. Walking through the map shooting every single enemy that moves with a flintlock pistol is pretty fun as well lol
I like all of the paid careers and battle wizard :)
I know this kinda video invites lists in the comments, but I can't resist, so here we go.
5 Grail Knight
4 Warrior Priest of Sigmar
3 Handmaiden
2 Iron Breaker
1 Witch Hunter Captain
I fell in love with Mercenary. Love proccing Paced strikes for the boyz and seeing a zealot or elf go seizure speed on a horde.
My list:
5. Huntsman
4. Grail knight
3. Zealot
2. Battlewizzard
1. Handmaiden
As you said the bow really hits different on Huntsman but alot of times enemies make random movements or gets staggered and their heads wobble and u miss the Hs, wich he relies on...Handmaiden is arguably the best hero in the game - good dmg potential and insane survivability and mobility, making it huge clutch hero...Battlewiz also for the mobility and the clutch factor + insane dmg with cor staff and really easy temp hp with fire sword..and zealot n GK are just fun :D
bardin main, my man
whoa, and i thought you love handmaiden
She’s useful for really difficult stuff like fow. However she’s middle of the pack in fun value for me.
1. Handmaiden (Spear & Shield push-a-tron 5000 with lots of extra stamina, Bladedancer dash!. Everything feels slow now)
2. Bounty Hunter (Volley Crossbow Sniping-Scrounger-The Shooting Class-Leave your melee at home. Big double pellet boss dmg. AXE & Falchion!!!)
3. Ranger Veteran (tanky-ninja-sniper-gives out ammo like oprah gives out cars)
4. Grail Knight (Made to be "The" Front Liner. Smite it from the top Smite it from the side. Spartan Shield vs gatlin gun. We shall fight in the shade)
5. Slayer (Chosen merely for the basic fun of Vermintide. Mind off. I heard you just want to destress and kill things. Well have i got a fun brainless career for you. Fast Attacks. Leap Slam Ult. Berserker RAGE!!!!)
Hmmm. I'm with you on Footknight and Huntsman. I love the purified huntsman with the bandana. Mean looking highway man vibes. Other than that Bounty hunter with pistol or Griffons foot feels very satisfying just blasting away. Unchained (and to a degree pyro) with the flail is very satisfying.
I want to like Ranger Vet but I'm just not great with him.
Suprised you love Ironbreaker. Not the most exciting and a lousey choice of hats. Wish they'd give him some more hat variations. Or a no hat option. Cog Hammer is one of my favourite weapons though. Love the sound of that thing.
My favourites are;
5. Unchained
4. Warrior Priest
3. Iron Breaker
2. Outcast Engineer
1. Slayer
Slayer is just so far ahead of the rest, not only because he's the most fun to play (dual axes and dual hammers ftw), but he's the only character I feel comfortable going into Cata with
nothing will beat Bounty Hunter for me. Infinite ammo, monster dps, chaos knight deleting, and most importantly, stack building. Yes, I enjoy having that personal sidequest in every mission. Bad hats though.
Ironbreaker supremacy 💪
Darktide is going to blow 40k threw the gaming universe you are gonna be the top youtuber if you continue and stream
5. Grail Knight
4. Mercenary
3. Waystalker
2. Ranger Veteren
1. Iron Breaker
Anyway, here is my list
5. Slayer, because nuclear dwarf
4. Zealot, because nuclear Sigmar fellow
3. Merc, because best morale lifter
2. Pyromancer, because bolt stuff goes boom
1. Unchained, because wizard goes boom
Cant wait for the next milestone "Kissing all of my subscribers on the lips"
I would do it for free 😙
Hmmm. I have to say Ranger Veteran (best monster killer) -> Warrior Priest (hella lot fun to play) -> Sister of Thorn (second best monster killer) -> Slayer (beer bellied little shit murdering everything, whats not to like?) -> Battle Wizard (barbeque time)
1. Hand Maiden
2. Sister of Thorn
3. Waywatcher
4. Shade
5. Mercenary (Love his shouting voicelines)
My List:
1: Pyromancer (sword + beam staff)
2: Mercenary (Spear + repeater handgun)
3: Battle Wizard (Flame sword + coruscation)
4: Ranger vet (dual hammers + masterwork pistol)
5: Handmaiden (spear + moonfire bow)
5 everything else in no particular order honestly
4 Witch Hunter Captain
3 Grail Knight
2 Battle Wizzard
1 Shade
Still on a break, can't judge Sister and Priest. Looking forward to them once we get more maps and achievements to hunt again xD
Ranger Veteran all day for me. Ammo sustain for team, ridiculous ult, and of course the ability to call myself "Bounty Hunter Bardin".
1. Zealot with Pike (way to much fun grabbing and stunning every character plus high mobility)
2. Slayer
3. Handmaiden
Wish I could relate.. Despite maining Saltzpyre, I can not for the life of me have fun on WHC for some reason. There's just something lame about him when compared to all his other classes, and I can't put my finger on what it is. Which is a shame, because I love the WHC's æsthetics
My favorites are:
1. Shade
2. Grail Knight
3. Huntsman
4. Sister of the Thorn
5. Footnight
I think Huntsman is gaining traction as my favorite however; I've played him for ages now but I'm getting a lot better as him and enjoying him much more. I.E. based Huntsman player
5: Iron breaker
4: Witch hunter captain
3: warrior priest
2: Grail knight
1: Footknight
For me the number 1 is the Foot Knight. I like the play style, the character rol and the looks (best armors in the game IMO). Number 2 Gotrek Gurnisson... I mean, Slayer. In 3rd position, Waystalker. Finally 4 is for Unchained
Huntsman Longbow is just incredible fun.
Been playing this class for a very long time and still dig it.
It’s crazy to me how well respected WHC is when back before WoM he was hated by everyone.
I rlly like Slayer, not because he is super good (I die alot XD), but because he is super Fun.
Also likes outcast engi for the same reasons
GG
I have only been playing for a few weeks, but I tend to like the tanky characters the most at this point, especially the ones that can be clutch and save the game when things go wrong. My top 3 favorite careers right now are Handmaiden with spear & shield and moonfire bow, Foot Knight with spear & shield and repeater handgun, and Iron Breaker with cog hammer and drakefire pistols (although I will have to try the trollhammer torpedo since you speak so highly of it). I'm leveling up Saltzpyre with Warrior Priest right now, but it just does not feel as good as a tank that can clutch. His ultimate is also harder to use well than those other careers, so maybe that's why he doesn't feel as good to me.
With FK, you can counter-charge minotaur AND COME OUT ON TOP
Outcast engineer.
Can't deny the brrrt
Nice Robin hood hat, you pick that up off the Grand exchange?
Grail Knight is by FAR my most played character simply for the fact that I use the executioner sword with the classic crit build and do the epic
My list
5.RV
4.IB
3.OC
2.WP
1.slayer jumping with war pick and oneshotting Chaos warriors is too fun
great vid!
Your thoughts on the longbow are very interesting.
I actually think it is one of the most frustrating weapons to use. The thing where it zooms in right before you shoot is unbearable and I swear it's less reliable at hitting things serverside than the elf's longbow.
That weapon is actually why I hate playing Huntsman.
5. Bounty hunter 4 BW3 Slayer 2 pyromancer 1 unchained. Yup i am quite a sienna main :D
I think my top five is probably:
5: Sister of Thorn
4: Iron Breaker
3: Warrior Priest
2: Witch Hunter Captain
1: Unchained
Watched 17 seconds of his vid and he got my sub congrats on 10k
Huntsman is really good but i hate him...ye i am bad as him :D.
Witch hunter ye my first charakter i play and get him on max lv awesome
Foot i really agree is sooo satisfying to drop down hord.
Shade hmmm... idk after 209h i still dont play her XD maybe 1 time.
I think my Number one is to Ironbreaker is really fun to play.
For me is really fun to play Unchained to just burn everythink with Flail and Coruscation staff
