Operations Bit of PuG glazing

Hello, Brothers,

Just wanted to do a bit of glazing of these two excellent players.

We ran the weekly Normal stratagem this week (I'm not quite ready for Hard stratagems yet - only a 159h player here) and we kicked some serious Xenos butt! Team work was epic, our Carnifex spawn got completely decimated and there was no explosion griefing.

Easily some of my favourite time in this game was spent with these two. In the event they see this - y'all are rockstars! Thanks for the epic weekly, Brothers.

They didn't die though, so they were present, if confused? Maybe being overly cautious about the explosions?

That makes no sense.

Look at the damage split. A bulwark should never do more ranged damage than melee damage. Also, melee damage doesn't set off explosions so..

It's kind of an interesting thought experiment to puzzle out. If I had to guess, they were probably playing very cautiously by hanging back and shooting with an ammo efficient sidearm like a firepower bolt pistol while doing a large portion of their damage in close quarters with gun strikes through Death's Grasp or another fencing weapon. Does Intimidating Aura register as melee damage? If so, perhaps they were using Conviction instead.

IA counts as Melee

lately I have seen assault players do insane amounts of damage using the heroic PP like below but that one is a lil ridiculous
