Let’s put it this way

#

If they release a new staff

#

That can kill elites. You won’t be using void

flint plover
#

is soulblaze worth using yet?

bolter staff when?

Well your stoned so I’m not surprised

next aurora

#

Don't even need to be a psyker

teal needle
#

Void beats purg on hordes, purg is better than void for elites but neither is really a good solution for elites. Ultimately purg is a compromise between void and surge, does neither role as well while giving up range. Still, it's viable on any difficulty.

I’m actually shocked they didn’t just recreate all of the staves from VT

Even the fireball animation is better than the fucking void staff

frail shuttle
velvet trail
#

if the horde is coming only from 1 direction and is funnelled maybe, but in that case anyone can hold it with melee just fine

twilit comet
#

Can Psyker get/use any of the "braced" autoguns?

next aurora
#

purg is fun, but if the zealot has the flamer, its obsolete

unkempt juniper
#

void staff is better than surge deal with it

ebon jolt

#

for the wide spread hordes that acutally cause problems, purg all the way

ultimately all this conversation proves to me is that this matter is largely personal preference

purg good vs hordes and warp gen. void for toughness and narrow hordes/ sometimes elite. surge ?? dunno

modest epoch

#

Trauma staff exists to highlight the value of all other staves

frail shuttle
teal needle
# night marten *Void beats purg on hordes* wha-

It straight does. Lobbing uncharged fireballs at head height mows shit down and costs negative peril. The dps even when a horde is spread out is just better. And you're not competing with instant damage stuff like power swords so it refreshes your toughness and makes you tankier too

ornate hamlet
#

I don’t think you can run purg at damnation and be beneficial to the group dynamic

night marten
flint plover
#

Yep. nothing like permastunning like 7 elites..

ornate hamlet
#

You can run it with enough skill at the game. You just aren’t going to be helpful

twilit comet
#

Tauma staff should work more like the VT2 corscucation staff, where it leaves an AoE effect on the ground for 10 seconds that burninates enemies that cross it.

anybody tried trauma staff for the cc, it not only staggers but seems to throw enemies on the ground. Might be useful against elites?

Imagine having the crazy bolt staff in dt without needing to take damage to quell

Voidstrike basically is the bolt staff when it comes to charging

Just the left-click is different

You can safely kill stuff with it while they're electrocuted

the left clicks just need a faster moving projectile and they'd be much more useful, its very hard to hit an enemy moving perpendicular to you

No it’s not reasonable for a live service game to not have a roadmap. Have you ever worked at a company?

austere burrow
#

I think it's reasonable to want a roadmap when the game is literally unfinished

ornate hamlet
#

Imagine telling an investor to use their common sense

austere burrow
#

It's practically early access rn

floral condor
#

It's not unfinished because you can't min max a weapon in crafting

hoary hamlet

#

It’s still finished

We don't need to sugarcoat the state of the game rn

You guys have any experience whatsoever in the real world? If they could deliver you this god send perfect launch of the game, they would, wouldn't they? These guys are trying to make money they aren't going to abandon it

Stakeholder is a more generous way of saying customer in this case too KEKW_ogryn

I'm just calling a spade a spade

#

The things you cry about are coming. It's unfortunate that they weren't at launch. but nothing is perfect.

ornate hamlet
#

Are you all hopped up on copium? I’m the villain for asking the company to tell us what they are working on in order for me to make a decision on how much time I’d like to invest in the near future?

austere burrow
#

Is it really that controversial to say that it's unfinished

#

Lol

#

It's plain to see

trail tapir
long wharf
#

you aren't a stakeholder if you don't own a part of the company

trail tapir
#

It's unfinished because it's unfinished, to be understood as "not feature complete"

long wharf
#

you're a customer if you paid money to use their product/service

austere burrow
#

Customers are also stakeholders

long wharf
#

and, frankly, calling Darktide anything but unfinished is simply ignoring reality

austere burrow
#

But not in a stock sense

teal needle
#

Stock holder != stake holder

long wharf
#

and yet "stakeholder" has a specific meaning

austere burrow
#

A stakeholder is just anyone who has a stake in how the product is doing

floral condor

Stake holder is people that don't really matter to stock holders trying to have a say KEKW_ogryn

Otherwise. It’s not live!

signal turret
#

Someone trade me for their 380 Surge, Void sucks

unkempt juniper
#

i want them to be honest about the state of their own game. I believe the only reason they called the game 'finished' in it's current state is investors/executives wanting the game out before christmas. They missed a deadline, idk if it was too much scope or not enough workers or whatever, but the fact remains that the game needed just another couple months and it would have been a great release.

They should have kept the game in beta/early access. Calling it finished as it is was a dishonest thing to do.

Darktide was never advertised as a live service game

So I don't get it, the mk5 duel staff. What's the deal?

Gotta tell ya. As a psyker, I'm having a lot of problems with getting caught by enemies when my team just kind of leaves me behind. It's like everyone tries to speed run missions.

Is it really true though that psykers can handle themselves fine if they get isolated? We have the least toughness and, I believe, the least health. We can't afford to make as many mistakes.

The Force Sword blocking visual effect is so intense, obscures the screen a lot for me. Anyone know of a setting to make it lessened or more transparent?

zerker psyker is fun with surge animation cancel, charge straight in and start felling

austere burrow
#

With tac axe mk7 I do push attack heavy

lethal plover
#

If boss includes mini bosses like beast of nurgle I will warn against the melee approach. The reason is sudden bullshit knockback, vore, and corruption

austere burrow

Which is usually enough to avoid getting hit

#

Just mix in dodges and stuff to reposition

#

Push attack spam is pretty strong in general lol

Because you don't need stamina to block

Yeah true

But you have surge staff to slow carapace ppl down

wise pecan
lethal plover
#

Yes they do die

olive ember
#

Just a separate soul blaze that doesn’t stack

eager nexus
#

Soul blaze is a stacking DoT

teal cargo
#

Oh?

eager nexus
#

so the more you apply the more damage it does.

lethal plover
#

Especially when you already have purgatus on top

faint sigil
#

its not a linear stack

teal cargo
#

interesting

faint sigil
#

someone should make a chart

eager nexus
#

I volunteer you

olive ember
#

Nah flamestaffs soulblaze doesn’t stack with perk soulblaze iirc but both are considered “soulblaze”

faint sigil
#

and pin it

wise pecan
#

One stack of soulblaze does nothing. Each stack essentially doubles the damage though, so 6 is lethal to most enemies

calm patio

Ohhf...so close to being good, but not quite

im a dirty s

olive ember

The blaze damage changes depending on target so yea

Does the 30% toughness Regen on stack gain, stack over each other? So like 2 stacks gained is 60%?

paper trail
#

I solely use my wrath to blow peril

eager nexus
#

I believe so

faint sigil
#

i thought it just refreshes duration

teal cargo
#

So purg to gain a ton of warp stacks legit?

eager nexus
#

I'm not sure, I hardly use it, but the wording seems to imply that.

Purge if you have a lot of warp stacks and you're more than likely to get them all back, but it's not a guarantee

can psykers get knives?

wise pecan

I think surge, void, and purgatus are all roughly even (and better than all psyker guns). Force sword is currently the fan favorite melee, because you can build for extremely good blocking against melee and ranged

eager nexus
olive ember
#

This is the feat I run but it changes if I switch to flame staff

Doesn't matter

force sword or axe, surge staff

I'm glad that the devs aren't psychotic with the penances and require us to kill a monstrosity using the staff special action only. Just imagine, though.

spring nest

damn play 50 games a psyker looooooong

The staff special literally unusable honestly like it comes out so slowly it can’t even be used as stagger
you’d be better off just switching to another weapon or even left clicking

Psykinetics wrath, the F ability

I like how it’s called psykinetics wrath but it actually does like no damage

works reliably on trappers, bursters, everything

but hounds for me

By the Emperor this axe is awsome! Chops down unarmored elites with one Chop! and the Lighing staf to pair with to fry armored 🙂

Surge is only fun when you run cancel the secondary fire and just electrocute EVERYTHING

cos BB is prrtty sketch

oh, nice, no herresy games again

and Surge is real good cc

#

and kinetic deflection is pretty unfair

I want to get a BB/special ability spam build and see if I can make it enjoyable

night marten

I kinda wish there was a perk for the surge staff to have a chance to ignite a target with soul fire.

But Veterans can mow down people a lot faster

Also Veterans got some real good horde cleavin surprisingly

I just wondering - if "God-Emperor-Roll" is more fitting term than "god-roll" for a Darktide items ? 🙂

#

Not loke purg staff good but they can give em the chops for sure

eager nexus
teal cargo
#

So purg staff is soul blaze dmg?

#

like the actual dmg or the dot?

spring nest
olive ember
teal cargo
olive ember
#

Yea

eager nexus
#

I'm pretty sure the main "attack" is soul blaze

#

so both forms of damage are soul blaze?

teal cargo
#

i guess so

eager nexus
#

If you really wanna test it out, go to meat grinder, melee a target to almost no health and then use the lmb on the purge staff and see if you get a warp charge

teal cargo
#

so 6 stack wrath can clear out whatevers near you?

lethal plover
#

sometimes you catch an elite or two

#

but don't count on it

teal cargo
#

I see

stray cipher
#

6 stacks wont melt elites or specialists on t4+ but it's a good start to then torch em

spring nest
#

psyker is a support class anyway higher tiers

teal cargo
#

Wish Surge staff also was soul blaze

lethal plover
#

the horde clearing job is to clear out the trash so your team can pay attention to elites
instead of having that stupid vet pulling out his power sword and letting the gunmen whale on your team

teal cargo
#

yea

#

Horde clear important

lethal plover
#

tell the vet to stop using melee

#

I had to do that a lot

stray cipher
#

But mah powah sord

teal cargo
#

Shoot the gunners 💀

spring nest
#

need to buff brain burst for heresy and damnation

teal cargo
#

I like surge for zapping the armored gunners to death

#

But man the unarmored gunners take forever

spring nest
#

surge staff is so 50/50 sometimes it melts sometimes i cant even kill a grunt

#

but hella useful regardless for the insane stun

teal cargo
#

it depends on their armor

elfin blaze
#

Surge does far more damage to armoured from what I've seen

#

If you're trying to kill something unarmed I just stun and left click on their head

teal cargo
#

like you just zap the flak vest mooks to death immediately

#

but normal zombies nahh

spring nest
#

ong like i zapped a random zombie 3 times and he just tanked it

#

but 3 flamers insta dead

teal cargo
#

like compare zapping the night vision gunners

#

vs zapping the taliban gunners

stable epoch
#

did u know u can stack the damage buff if someone else kills ur zapped target

#

pretty efficent way of stacking that

teal cargo
#

stack dmg buff?

spring nest
#

surge is most useful imo when youre playing in a team has saved me countless times being able to stun multiple elites dogs and bursters on heresy its actually insan

olive ember

#

The warp charge, if you charge halfway or more even if someone else kills it you still do the animation and get a warp charge

stable epoch
#

:rof

olive ember
#

It’s not worth the peril though half the time and it’s hard to do purposely

teal cargo
#

oh for BB?

faint sigil
#

love it when the emperor sees fit to give me an orange autopistol

stable epoch
olive ember
#

Warp charges themselves don’t even help hit break points except on heresy

#

Specifically heresy you can one shot a flamer at max stacks as opposed to two BB

teal cargo
#

kinda feels like should be ignored

#

even with purg

olive ember
#

But that’s like the only BB you reach with the damage gain

teal cargo
#

still cant ever one shot a dog and thats so dumb

uneven sparrow
olive ember
#

Most people only run warp charges for the peril resistance

faint sigil
#

itll be interesting to see what happens to psyker after like a year of changes

stable epoch
#

what counts as a warp attack? anything that costs peril?

sick veldt
#

which dueling sword variant do you guys like the most?

teal cargo

since thas actually difficult for vets to shoot

olive ember

how do you properly use the purgatus staff? is it good for horde clearing?

olive ember
teal cargo
#

i use mk5 rapier

#

only cos other people said its good tbh

uneven sparrow
teal cargo
#

theres too many melee variants

bright river
teal cargo
#

Does peril resist conflict with the 4% chance to get stack though?

elfin blaze
#

I honestly don't see the appeal of purg, feels like just a midpoint between surge and void

bright river
#

you can keep shooting at 100% peril, you hold down the right button, just tap R before reaching 0% charge on your attack and charge again

#

pretty much no downtime

#

might get fixed

olive ember
teal cargo
#

ohh i see

#

arent those the same tier feat though?

elfin blaze
#

4% is 15 peril resist is 10 no?

olive ember
#

4% is lvl 15 warp resist is 10

can you full charge then click R?

u still get full dmg of surge

my fav dueling sword is mk 4

subtle linden
#

ya

teal cargo

Feel like last thing Psyker needs is nerfs

but they'll prob nerf psyker and buff vet

If they take that off the Psyker staff they’re making Psyker less viable for matchmaking

The thing I've noticed with the animation cancel for the surge staff is that while you get the full damage for a single target, you don't get the chaining effect of not doing the animation cancel, or it's significantly reduced.

But Psyker got Kinetic deflection hype
