Dagger & Shroudfield Zealot

[Mini]

Recently I've been getting into the stealth dagger build for zealot after getting a god roll knife off a mission reward and I'm really liking the playstyle! I love how easy it is to do objectives or revive teammates, and pairing the build with the Stub Revolver helps to deal with snipers and other threats that a flamer struggles with.

I've noticed that my teammates absolutely hate my build though, and I get ridiculed pretty much any time something goes wrong, whether I'm at fault or not. Is this build just not accepted by the community or something?

When I four stack with my buddies they love it when I run this setup, but with randoms it's like I kicked their dog or something whenever I load in...

what aura do you use?
i know alot of people hate that setup since there's a bunch of people that run loner with that setup and just run off and abandon their teams to do a speedrun

basically forcing their teams to play as if they only had 3 people and deal with increased number of enemies because of the zealot pulling everything and dumping aggro with stealth

What would you prefer that I use for a ranged option? The flamer doesn't mesh well with this build and I haven't gotten any decent bolters

knife shroud is fine as long as you still stick with the team and use shroud to kill specials.

stub isnt great on zealot without certain traits tho

i primarily melee everything unless its more than a hallway away. I am not hating i am just saying that ogryn and priest are primarily a melee class imo.

I mean it one shots standard specials and can deal with maulers, ragers, and crushers thanks to handcannon and the fury keystone giving it crit

Flamer meshes with that build just fine and there are a literal plethora of cawadoody autoguns that have the same TTK as the revolver, starting with the agra, graia and columnus braced.

I agree with that. The revolver is really just for snipers and gunners who are supressing me whenever the stealth cooldown isn't up.

Not a huge fan of the autoguns tbh, but I can start looking for decent ones to try out. Since the beta I've pretty much just been running the Crucis hammer and the flamer, so I don't exactly have a ton of weapons sitting around yet

You can ignore him. He’s never once a fan of the revolver. You can still use it, as long you don’t completely waste it on chaffs and use it on specials and elites, it is still fine.

Or use Laspistol. It’s still a great weapon on, even paired with Stealth Knife.

I play a momentum dagger build. I use a revolver as well, its perfect for clearing hordes as well as tapping specials. What difficulty are you playing at? Anything less than Damnation or even Auric now you will get grief from players. Could also be your play style. If you are constantly engaging solo before your team gets there and get downed or trapped then you deserve the grief. If you zoom ahead and wait for your team before beginning an event or large fight then you really won't get any grief.

Um stub is absolutely amazing for Zealot.
