no i figure, i was genuinely just asking if it was a twitter:x situation

spiral storm
#

New staffs would be ncie but some buffs to existing ones first please

ripe gazelle
#

what would new staffs even do?

spiral storm
#

they could literally copy paste some from vermintide

#

There's the fire tornado staff where you just drop a stationary burning spot on the floor

#

the beam staff where you shoot a guy with a channeled beam then hit the RMB to do a single large hit based on how long you've been hitting him with the beam

#

In this case it's buffing the other staffs because psyker's only viable build is soul blaze stacking

#

well

#

"""""viable"""""

ripe gazelle
spiral storm
#

shorter range, doesn't have to be fire based

jovial juniper
#

Don't worry about it
Shotguns in this game are cursed to have inconsistent damage

#

And

#

It can interact with cleave

#

So it doesn't end up stealing Double Barrel niche

ripe gazelle
#

no i dont mean to say it would be fire. i just mean in terms of "do damage in cone within a shorter range - except this time make it shorter, not dot, and higher impact"

spiral storm
#

have it not be infinite cleave

spiral storm
#

no thanks

rich spindle
#

lol

spiral storm
#

Using the voidstrike fucking sucks

jovial juniper
spiral storm
#

and any of the m1's that shoot a ball

#

I hate how slow they feel

olive oar
#

Your loss then. So it's not a problem you're trying to solve.

spiral storm
#

what problem

ripe gazelle
#

the. the ineffectivity and poor feel of voidstrike

#

thats the problem

spiral storm
#

nothing I can do to fix that one

olive oar
#

Voidstrike feeling lackluster in high level game. Because it has good single target damage, but can't handle the horde.

#

My build fixes this very problem.

spiral storm
#

I'm not worried about hordes

#

I can just use my melee for that

ripe gazelle
#

less about hordes more about killing more than just a mutant every couple seconds yeah?

olive oar
#

Hordes isn't synonymous with melee trash, it's shooters from afar, Elite gunners, elite shotgunners.

#

Voidstrike will deal with these as a sniper rifle, a single target for each shot. This is what my build solves.

spiral storm
#

My problem with the voidstrike is that it feels awful to use and I'm sitting in the back trying to kite enemies to charge up the balls and shoot them

#

yes there are ways to build around it

#

like if the issue is enemies up close I just shoot the charged ball at my feet to knock them over

#

...like the trauma

#

or if it's far away I do have a high damage single shot... but I don't really need to charge it to kill trash gunners, I could just m1 them with the trauma

olive oar
#

If you don't try my build you won't understand how it solves the problem, because if it was obvious everyone would have found that setup before me.

spiral storm
#

or if it's mixed/elite hordes I have to kite them around and aim for heads at varying heights because of ogryns and ragers

#

when I coul djust CC all of them

#

with the trauma

olive oar

#

Tascal is the Einstein of darktide

spiral storm
#

Also i'm curious

rich spindle
#

You better listen to him

spiral storm
#

why do you run blazing spirit on the greatsword?

ripe gazelle
#

the build is based in soulblaze so i think its about keeping stacks going right

olive oar
spiral storm
#

whose zazy

rich spindle
#

lol

wispy pumice
#

when TAscalde talks, I sit my smyker ass down and I listen.

rich spindle
#

This

olive oar
spiral storm
#

This is zazy

spiral storm

spiral storm
#

no... I do liek staff builds

#

but like

#

I coul djust stab them in the face

#

and have them die

#

by putting on precog or riposte or shred or wrath in any of those combos

olive oar
spiral storm
#

and they die because I stabbed them very very hard

#

instead of putting less upfront damage on my sword

#

so they can burn to death

olive oar
#

Oh, you're talking about why I use Blazing Spirit.

spiral storm
#

yes

olive oar
#

And blazing spirit in the sword, not the staff. Just that, to be clear, yes?

spiral storm
#

yes that's what I"m curious about

olive oar
#

That's not final, but I'm used to it and it provides good results. Soulfire stacks provides nearly exponential extra damage to each stack it has, like an enemy with 5 stacks takes almost double the damage than if it were with 4 stacks and so on.
The sword with blazing spirit uses the synnergy with the staff and allows for greater stacks accumulation when alone and helps the game plan when needed. But be warned that most times you won't even need to pull the sword because this setup will kill everything before they can reach you.

#

Final thing is, having blazing spirit in the sword allows you to finish fights faster than if you hadn't had it in the first place.

spiral storm
#

oh

#

but what if you just used precog and stabbed them in the head twice so they died

rich spindle
#

lol

ripe gazelle
#

oh shit but maulers take two hits with pure dmg, do you just need one stab with soulblaze kit with the downside of the mauler being on the board a touch longer but allowing you to focus on something else?

spiral storm
#

I don't remember the exact break points but like

#

you can usually kill maulers and ragers in 1 stab to the head with the push attack

ripe gazelle
#

the push attack!??

#

what?

#

fgs 6?

spiral storm
#

All the force swords have a push attack that will knock literally anything over except monsters obviously

#

the little force push yeah

#

once you use that your next heavy melee becomes the forwards straight stab

#

which is unsurpisingly really good at stabbing heads for high damage

ripe gazelle
#

oh oh PA followed by heavy

spiral storm
#

yea

#

I don't remember if you need precog for it to 1 shot in the head or not

#

or maybe I'm tweaking and it cna't even do that

ripe gazelle
#

okay I was very concerned because the literal interpretation of what you said earlier was that PA alone was one shotting shit hahaha

spiral storm
#

idk, if you're ingame you could test it

#

I'm not at my pc :(

ripe gazelle
#

nor am i

spiral storm
#

very sad

ripe gazelle
#

just got off a bit ago

spiral storm
#

there's also the obscurus force sword light melee that destroys single targets

#

dont remember which mk, not the weird arroe shaped one

ripe gazelle
#

PA+heavy doesn't strike me as the same as single stab dot kill a mauler still. PA costs just enough resources that I'd rather just kill the damn thing directly when it's not contextually better to cc anyway

#

put it this way when the game puts a mauler wall in front of me I don't want to PA them constantly so that I can stab them all.

rich spindle
#

You just heavy on mk6

ripe gazelle
#

mhm but usually I need two heavies to handle maulers. skill issue regarding procs?

rich spindle
#

In auric?

ripe gazelle
#

or blessing buffs anyhow

ripe gazelle
rich spindle
#

Hmm I dunno

#

Just heavy again

#

Ezpz

ripe gazelle
#

my fgs isn't empowered to 500 yet but I think it's all defenses that's missing

rich spindle
#

You probably need crit + some DD stacks to one shot auric maulers
