I really don’t get that mindset - “I need to uptime every buff as much as possible” in game like darktide.
You can uptime it as much as possible, if you want, but you don’t have to.
You still getting benefits by playing naturally. And you are getting more,
if you willing to put some effort and do something out of ordinary.
That’s great formula in my book.
I see big stacks or uptimes as a reward, you have to work for, rather than something that should be given by default.
If you don’t like what it takes to be rewarded, then it’s just not for you and its fine.
Game is not suppose to revolve around you, there are different things for different people.
I think power sword is incredibly boring, but i am not going to ask to change it for my liking.
Because other people are already enjoying it.
As for weapon specialist, i didn’t even looked at melee buff.
Crit and ammo refill is the main thing to me.
I am pretty comfortable with my melee, so i didn’t even juggle weapons yet,
even though i am the right guy for that. I just don’t feel i need it.
Also, i believe none keystone builds is stronger than ever and don’t lacking at all.
