Vermintide 2: Witch Hunter Captain Career – Talents, Builds Guide

Always Prepared (more ammo) is just a generic good passive. More ammo is never sad. Charmed Life (dodge distance) is OK if you’re more used to dodging (perhaps as you progress in the game more).

Unflagging Spirit is an odd one. It doesn’t synergize well with the “Free block” mechanic of witch-hunt. Strange. If you block a lot, use this I suppose….

Abjure Temptation (+Power if party has at least 1 Grimoire) is just plain OP. It’s very rare that people would go for zero grimoire runs. Switch it off if you’re struggling.

Deathknell (headshot bonus) is a little strange given that we can outright kill on headshots. It’s great for bosses though. HOWEVER – Abjure Temptation is simply “on all the time”, which makes this look embarrassing.

Suffer no Heresy (armor when disabled) is pretty sad. Good teammates nullify the use of this skill most of the time. Don’t ever get caught alone, friend!

Gonna need some clarification if these bonuses are shared with party…

Wild Fervour (crit on special death) is great. The duration is low but it helps out in those typical “Specials within mobs” scenarios.

Justice’s Bounty (HP on special death) may be the better choice in the extremely early game. Chip healing will prevent that “stressed out feel” for your party of chumps.

Marked for Death (+ASPD on special death) is not bad. It’s really up to you (or math) to determine if your (and your parties) builds would benefit more from 20% crit or 10% AS. Generally speaking, I think crit is better.

Holy Cause and Righteous zeal are both great. THP on Crit, and THP on Kill are a huge upgrade to your quality of life. Righteous Zeal is too good to pass up early on, since your build may not always have a high enough crit to justify the other.

With this career however, Holy Cause may outrun Righteous Zeal faster than in comparison to other careers.

Holy Cause also helps DURING boss fights. Something Righteous Zeal can’t do.

Purifier (Heal on boss kill) is trash.

Redoubled Purpose is basic. 30% less recharge time simply means you have more opportunities to use it (especially against mobs where the knockdown is invaluable). It’s simply the SAFEST choice since.

Resonating Faith (10 second duration) is godlike versus bosses, where that extended duration really shines.

Fierce Oratory (50% larger radius) is weird. It can help with clutch knockdowns, and help with catching all your teammates? During an entire run you may never actually “fully utilize” the radius bonus – versus more usage or more duration.
