is soulblaze worth using yet?
bolter staff when?
i will still be using void
bolter staff huge
If you want to win: CC so surge If you want to have fun: Void bubble go voom
Just strap a lascannon on top of a staff smh
Well your stoned so I’m not surprised
nah, but stuff is glowing in funny ways
Don't even need to be a psyker
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.
when the ogryn straps a stubber on a stick and calls themsevles a psyker
big game changer
Can someone help me understand why I only get one extra stamina bar on my force sword when I equip a +2 stamina curio?
Alt fire shoots a bolter shot out the tip, like a umbrella gun
Bugged
Void beats purg on hordes wha-
it really does, why stun the horde when you can outright kill them
purg every time
I’m actually shocked they didn’t just recreate all of the staves from VT
wildin
Even the fireball animation is better than the fucking void staff
Purge does both for hordes? It just has no range. Void is the in between of the staffs.
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
Can Psyker get/use any of the "braced" autoguns?
purg is fun, but if the zealot has the flamer, its obsolete
void staff is better than surge deal with it
Thanks.
for the wide spread hordes that acutally cause problems, purg all the way
this too
comon it has some range
ultimately all this conversation proves to me is that this matter is largely personal preference
Nah notice we haven't brought up the fourth staff yet
yes, but you are wrong if your preference isn't voidstrike
das because trauma belongs like anywhere but in the hands of a player
lol stoner needs this W
purg good vs hordes and warp gen. void for toughness and narrow hordes/ sometimes elite. surge ?? dunno
my preference is zealot, where do i rank on the scale
Trauma staff exists to highlight the value of all other staves
Just enough that all the gunners are out of range 😭
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
I don’t think you can run purg at damnation and be beneficial to the group dynamic
yea, I'll either terminator walk at them with deflect FS, use ult to stun before closing distance, or just flank
Yep. nothing like permastunning like 7 elites..
You can run it with enough skill at the game. You just aren’t going to be helpful
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.
void need the quell perk tho, otherwise underwhelming.
Hey, I think I played with you yesterday. Good games
anybody tried trauma staff for the cc, it not only staggers but seems to throw enemies on the ground. Might be useful against elites?
What level do you unlock the Bolter at?
Not for psyker
Cors also has hitscan left click no?
Yeah agreed there
All better then the shit we have now
💀
No bolter for psyker
I’m making a new operative now
you got three, or four (doesn't matter) force staves instead!
Imagine having the crazy bolt staff in dt without needing to take damage to quell
Really need a beam staff, and a staff with small fire balls that doesn't follow your characters momentum
Voidstrike basically is the bolt staff when it comes to charging
Just the left-click is different
The left click is ass
not really? with a high warp resistance staff an uncharged shot costs 6-7 peril, and a charged shot costs 13-15
Hoping that an update or dlc adds a melta-gun. That was all I wanted from DT
purgatus staff good?
And it isn’t there 
i want a bolt pistol on psyker tbqh
Fact: definitely more cool weapons in the future of darktide
it feels like the primaries of surge and void are kinda missing, its a copy of trauma
True
ratlings when
I'd love to have void staff get the small rapid fire bolts from the bolt-staff basic attack
The question is: how long does new content take for FS?
It's coming man chill out
Which of the 5 stats would we say is the least important on a surge staff. Damage or crit?
How many years you want to wait?
i love this thing
some peeps expected news today, but i dunno, holiday season soon
thats a good one
Does the terrifying barrage work well?
I’m incredibly chill, I just ran into my 120 hour wall with nothing more to do other than level classsz I don’t want to play
Psyker needs a bolt staff
Terrifying barrage makes people duck
The staff left clicks are kind of underwhelming but they're still okay
ive seen things get scared when it pops through in melee range
What's wrong with playing the game for fun? You need dangiy lights and new things every week?
im jealous
Good if they headshot and get an instant kill while walking around
You can safely kill stuff with it while they're electrocuted
The left clicks are fine for shooting random stray enemies I feel, but could be more interesting and exciting for sure
Yeah I agree
Psyker also needs burning head 
Does DT only have 12 levels?
I mean I’ve played through everything on damnation, kinda running out of hills to climb
there's always the long-term penances
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
Charge rate
I want to send all the brains I bursted rushing forwards in a line
I’d like to see a custom left click per each staff
They're also kind of delayed coming out
Video games are for fun. If you're bored why would you keep playing? No game studio can produce content as fast as players consume it
I mean all I said is I want a roadmap?
Makes shooting while moving a pita
Anyone know if Psyker can get BRACED AUTOGUNS?
To understand if new features are coming or not
can't unfourtunately
If not I’ll move on
8is the chain sword any good?
You think they aren't actively working on improving the game and adding more features? Were you born yesterday?
how does the blessing sustained fire work on a psyker staff? anyone know?
this thing is wrong then regarding braced autogun: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/classes/psyker-psykinetic
I’m sorry that I actually need to spell this out to you but you have a shit tone. It’s reasonable to ask a developer for their timeline on finishing their unfinished game you fucking Neanderthal
It's viable, but mid tier. Not the best at anything but not bad at anything
Without the devs baby spoon feeding me, I can tell you that the roadmap includes improvements to the game and new features. Is it reasonable to use common sense?
No it’s not reasonable for a live service game to not have a roadmap. Have you ever worked at a company?
I think it's reasonable to want a roadmap when the game is literally unfinished
Imagine telling an investor to use their common sense
It's practically early access rn
It's not unfinished because you can't min max a weapon in crafting
by common sense the game should have launched with finished crafting and yet...
Let me bake you a cake without the frosting
It’s still finished
Like we're all obviously playing the game
no. Its unfinished because of the incessant performance issues, server issues, missing features, missing weapons, and gameplay affecting bugs.
Stakeholder. You haven't invested in DT by buying it.
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 
I'm just calling a spade a spade
they could have if they kept it in beta a couple more months
taht's all i want tbqh
which is completely besides the point
The things you cry about are coming. It's unfortunate that they weren't at launch. but nothing is perfect.
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?
Is it really that controversial to say that it's unfinished
Lol
It's plain to see
There's a fucking tab in the crafting menu that literally says "COMING SOON" in triplicate.
you aren't a stakeholder if you don't own a part of the company
It's unfinished because it's unfinished, to be understood as "not feature complete"
you're a customer if you paid money to use their product/service
Customers are also stakeholders
and, frankly, calling Darktide anything but unfinished is simply ignoring reality
But not in a stock sense
Stock holder != stake holder
and yet "stakeholder" has a specific meaning
A stakeholder is just anyone who has a stake in how the product is doing
I'm pretty sure you can decide for yourself whether or not something is worth your time. If you love the game, you're here through the good and bad. All the whining is noise, the update comes when it comes while acknowledging the game studio absolutely wants to give you the best game ever, but real life isn't that easy
Stake holder is people that don't really matter to stock holders trying to have a say 
You’re looking at the tree and not the forest. The comment is on how it’s a live service game, which traditionally means their would be a post release roadmap
Otherwise. It’s not live!
Someone trade me for their 380 Surge, Void sucks
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
you are a liar and skill issue
The state of the game is it's extremely fun and has some stability issues
How is it whining to ask them to tell us what they are working on and when they plan to have it finished by?
Anyone here use tac axe? trying to figure out which mark I like most
Damn, sucks to be the launch studio then, I'll go put my money in the pocket of the people who do apparently manage the impossible task of releasing a finished product
I've been using the 7
So many whining bootlickers, the market works both ways
Like what world do you live in where that’s unreasonable?
Surge Supremacy
But only because it's my best rolled one
Not sure what the differences are between them
7 has good damage and horde clear
siblings, this is not the place to fight about the state of the game
They got different movesets
Consumers like you are the bane of humanity. Get a life
Customers, people impacted by land use, pollution, and anti consumer legislation: "We're stakeholders!"
Corporations, who do not answer to stakeholders: "hahahaha that's great I'm happy 4 u"
Jebus I come out of the ogryn channel for 5 seconds and see this shit
void>purge>trauma>surge
the problem with a roadmap is that it can set expectations in a way that causes you to be really disappointed, kind of like what's already happened in some ways
Psyker channel be like
if they're not ready to commit, why release a roadmap?
my beloved says you have to know voidstrike is the best staff
I guess I have to buy this
Nobody is entitled to my money, wolf of wall street, least of all a substandard product
Find the nearest commisar and report for a critical dose of lead into the back of your skull, sibling 😦
"I'm gonna take my money elsewhere!" Go. Cry more.
Dumping on warp resist is mega pog especially for a 370+
So I don't get it, the mk5 duel staff. What's the deal?
I feel like the mk4 is like saltz's rapier, though iirc that build relied on crits or something so maybe it doesn't carry over
What's the adv of the mk5?

https://gyazo.com/e1140a8385e768914c8caffd46a92e2a
worth getting?
sure we would all prefer a roadmap, with reliable deadlines on feature implementation/fixes
Long range overhead heavies
but if that doesn't align with reality.... 
Defence stat for cheaper pushes
🤔
they'll work on it best they can, because it's a revenue generator.
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.
guys puirge staff right click is a damage left click is a burn dot?
be satisfied with the awesome 100+ hours we've already got and go elsewhere for now, or keep enjoying it and be patient. that's it man
Last mission I had people trying to go so fast they aggroed a daemonhost and we had to deal with a plague ogryn at the same time.
Everyone universally can handle themselves in a horde
I have great rolls on every Staff but the Staff I use 99% of the time, shits a conspiracy
Bring force sword hold block and infinidodge to catch up
guys purge staff right click is a damage left click is a burn dot?
It's not really a psyker specific issue to not be able to handle yourself if you get left behind
I want it 
Just to be clear, this was my original point entirely. Please give me a roadmap of things you plan to work on for the near future so I can determine if I should invest more time in the short term. Otherwise. I’ve gotten my time out of this $40 game
Honestly ogryns that just push and leave behind the backline feels so bad for psyker. Sometimes they just stagger dudes and leave em alive, so now you're alone and surrounded lmao. When I play ogryn I follow the team, much better that way
Don't fight if your teammates are trying to speed run you'll aggro the entire map. Let the mobs chase them down
Wish I could trade you, these pleb staffs get no play from me 😦
Surge Supremacy
the machine spirit wasn't as generous as I was hoping
If you use an axe you can fight your way out
I'll give you this
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.
If you use duelling sword you can just run away lol
guys purge staff right click is a damage left click is a burn dot?
Hyper speed with dagger heavy attacks and slide
That's true but you can still learn to handle it
Psykers are stupid tanky when built and played right
Ya lol
Dueling swords heavy slide is knife tier I think
They have the same mobility stat
Is the overhead strike actually longer reach?
See thats the thing tho. When you're leveling and don't have those feats it can be rough
It feels longer
I haven't objectively tested it
It doesn’t project you forward. Dagger is king of moving fast
That's true. Psyker is a rough time leveling up
try it in the meatgrinder
im not sure, but the mkV duelling sword can hit 100% for the dodge distance stat because the defences stat and mobility stat both increase dodge distance
my mkV has +15% dodge distance
So, what, the only viable build is kinetic deflection?
Wait how? Why? I'm super getting cut off and dying as a result, so figuring out what do would be gud
dagger will be nerfed soon dont worry
Push attack > dodge back xN
for real though, trading would be awesome in this game. offset the pain of shop weapon stat RNG
Never did in vt2
If you get enough space you can do the dodge slide tech to out run the horde
this is Darktide
Does push attack reset the dodge or smth
Dueling sword basically makes you a vt2 handmaiden. Void staff + toughness on warp kills = infinite toughness shooting into hordes
I see. So it's all about the overhead clomping, presumably for elites and stuff?
Oh no the zealot is charging into a new horde
What will you do Psykers, chase him and support or let him fall
Guess we will wait and see
And then dodging away for safety
Ya I use overhead to kill elites/isolated stuff
Isn't brain blast for elites
I’m this close to letting the zealot feel the weight of his decision
Mash push attack into lights to cc horde if you're surrounded
Depends on situation
All I'm gonna say to this is that the only reason we got like half the quality of life upgrades in Vermintide 2 is because the community was complaining about it loudly and annoyingly all the damn time for a couple months straight.
They're not gonna fix anything unless you make it seem important enough to be an issue. Social pressure works and always has.
3 siblings in a Damnation mission. This is going to suck
4+ you really don’t BB all that much
The overhead is way faster than bb
And yeah I'm talking 4+ when bb becomes a lot weaker
I'm on 3 and i had been wondering
you must be fun at parties
Cuz it feels like BB will not scale
It does not
BB isn’t that good when you have a friend with a bolt gun
Neat. That's good to know I guess
At 4 you don't even 1 shot flamers anymore
That's... rubbish
You just adapt
Your staff becomes much more viable for dealing with situational problems
if you get all 3 staff types, it should be great
It's still useful situationally
Yeah this
Well, I mostly mean, it's a shame
So you have two psykers
It is a shame
Guh
I’d love to run a 4 stack of surge staff in damnation
🧠
Do you just ignore Warp charge abilities ?
It would wreck
Well, that's good to know
At 25
I joined in progress, we were all Surge Staff Supremacists and 1 bot lmao. I left
surge does no damage though. Needs teammates to kill things. If everyone has surge... what do?
Swords
If everyone has surge
I played with a level 4 psyker on dif 4 and said “brain burst the specials if you wanna survive” and they actually did
You whip out your sword or ace
Auto pop good for surge, charge on kill good for void. Can bring both if you just never wanna think about charges
It was an opportunity to practice solo damnation
Feats, or like stats?
Feats
Im good man, 1 dude was brain bursting for damage lol. I'd rather roll the dice and try again
Ok, well that's good to know
So you use staff to get peril
Then sword to bleed peril into toughness
Or axe or we
Already better than most max kitted level 30s out there. True legend.
BB is also for charges
Who knows, maybe the guy was planning to keep charges up out of habit
Yeah so I assume you'll BB isolated trash when you can
a player knowing what to do changes everything so quick
I'll opportunistically build charges if I have space
There's a special word out there that means death by fire
But it's not a priority
surge with stacked crit perks and blessings has pretty satisfying damage
You just won't do it in a fight when they need you
Ya
Nah I don't bb bosses
Seems like it's decent single-target damage at range
Hmm
Flak Ranged and Melee get Windu'd by the Palp staff with good crit and dmg rolls.
Just not enough dmg?
It's way slower dmg than almost anyone else
I'll either control the horde or hit the boss with my axe
Interesting. It feels high, but you might be right
Mk5 axe?
Any axe honestly
I'm using tac axe these days
But mk5 is hella good
Just don't like how slow it is
Honestly the zealots and veterans insult me when I give them instructions, psyker and ogryns 🤝
And do you just dance in front of hordes
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
With tac axe mk7 I do push attack heavy
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
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
Does like zero damage to armor
Yeah true
But you have surge staff to slow carapace ppl down
I'd rather be mobile
Antax def better for carrying
Why is there even a vore attack for beast of nurgle lol
Lore
Is there a tech against the vore
Just slide away on the sludge since it has zero friction when you slide, so you slide forever.
Beast of nurgles are basically giant toddlers
stagger the slug to make him spit someone out. and don't slide on the slime if you can avoid it, corrupts the shit out of your health fyi
So they like to put things in their mouth
Ogryn should save charge for vore. It makes em throw up
It does, but sliding endlessly is way too much fun.
Rapier slide for mach 5.
Just like in general or....
But yea, every class has something they can do to force the Beast to spit someone out.
What's the stagger trick for psyker
I don't think our ult has the stagger value.
Maybe on trauma staff.
F key
Yo Spark’ Ed’s give me tips on using the Force Sword and Fire Staff please
Oh really
Ah, the ult doesn't appear to work for me.
Maybe a charged lightning, I don’t look but nurgles definitely get effects applied
I posted 2 videos here
You can also do very fast spray for initial stagger before you commit for more
#psyker-class message
if theres 3 other dudes that want to do penances we can help each other. im looking to do the boss soloing
Go look in the lfg channels king
Best I've seen is 20%
I think max HP is... 25%? And toughness is 20%
as it was psycher related...
I mean base is 25%
never seen one at 25% 😮
I've never seen a base over 21
So with perk it would be 30% since there is a 5% additional stat cap
Well that's what listed as cap on the darktide equip builder
hello fellow psyker gamers
I'm kinda new and explode a lil more often than I'd like to
explode from peril or getting hit by mobs?
Quell more sibling. Or switch to axe
peril

Dueling Sword
as long as u start channeling brain burst <95% u wont pop
throw yourself at the enemy to take a few more with you
lol
Surge is definitely a feel for when to optimally hit 96% peril without ult
@analog meteor Just a heads up, if you find yourself in the animation to start exploding you can use your F to drain your peril and cancel your animation
that's actually quite helpful, thanks
If I had a penny for everyone that doesn't know how to play psyker id be rich
The ol' Unchained "oh god please".
What's the best early level CC strat for psyker?
Pushing with melee lol
spam surge staff
do 360's when you charge lightning staff, shoot lightning bolt and do another 360
me trying to get my void energy stacks but they keep killing the guys I'm trying to brain burst
If you're going for the penance just get a premade here.
run brain burst feat and use a surge staff
i was able to do that penance pretty easy with that + manual brain burst
I'm not going for any kinda penances
since surge locks on, you get a lot of time to look at the fight and where new threats are coming from
already have my desired drip
Yep, if you're level 30 warp charges aren't that hard to maintain
Don't worry about the stacks.
You don't need to religiously get charges. Focus more on the battle
It's less efficient with your perils generation, but you can hold right-click to charge Brain Burst without locking a target and then left-click when it's full to pop a head. Keeps your targets from dying and wasting your time but you spend more peril for each pop.
oki
omg those perks im so jealous
just taser everything so ur grenade gauntlet ogryn or vet kills em
while ur zealot screams about skulls and blood

I don't, I just do that whenever we're roaming around and there's not many enemies
it's probably not important
Force sword should give warp charges tbh
i dunno german psyker called the emperor a carrion emperor
aka corpse emperor
thats pretty heretical

Psyker below level 4 - murder death kill machine, draining oceans of blood for the God Emperor of Mankind
Psyker level 4 and above - "Hey guys, I'll make sure to stun the enemies as much as possible so you can kill them! :D"
true
anyone got any tricks to completing pick n mix? keep getting close and i swear ive done it a couple of times already but it just keeps being elusive
It can with the brain blast perk at level 25
Lol that doesn't count
unfortunately that just requires map rng to spawn 1 brain burstable elites/specialists
idk about that I'm just charging in with a knife
with teamwork it can be setup with other elites as well
"Replenish 10% toughness when you kill an enemy with a warp attack."
Does force sword or staff count as warp attack?
and u get targetss down to 1 popable
just bring them low with 1 BB and then ult with short use and 1 shot all of em
yes, force sword special counts, and staff
i think the force special
yes, if it was only brain burst you might as well get the 30% toughness over 5 seconds on warp charge gain
i run that one
I just want to confirm, will staff kills count as ranged kills for the weekly's? I can never seem to determine it.
I got quietude myself because I want to encourage myself to quell so I stop exploding all the damn time
correct
how the hell soulblaze works? why does it do more dmg to gunners, but less to poxwalker so it cna kill gunners, but not the lowest tier unit?
wtf
It may do slightly less damage but it staggers the hell out of them
dmg is so low it's not worth it either way but why
what is CC when I can just be the psyker tank who mows down a horde in melee
soulblaze can stack up and it's got huge stagger
Soul blaze damage increases exponentially
exactly
It's mid range but it can hit multiple targets in a line
I'm too busy cutting off rager's heads with my dueling sword to CC
seriously why is the dueling sword so good against ragers I don't understand
I was going with that too then a noticed i misread it. I was thinking you replenished toughness on 10% peril gained
The more soupblaze stacks you put on a target, the faster they die. I think 6 stacks is lethal from full health for most enemies?
yeah so you want to keep a constant stream on a target if you want em to die faster
or just pull out your melee
ah yes, soupblaze is a good name for it
soupblaze op, needs a nerf
and also probably spicy
I can’t even blame autocorrect for that one
like "ahh, this soupblaze is burning my tongue!" says the nurglites
and does purgatus apply soulblaze?
Ogryn brain fixating on food
or is it another effect?
Hmmm kind of sadge it didn't hit 80% burn instead of damage :<
I think 79% is basically the same as if it were 75% for a stat like this
Yes
damage is more important
If you have to ask this you have not understood flame build
flame build sounds fun
wait ive seen other people say burn is more important
On purgatus?
I believe the direct damage from getting hit by the stream is not soulblaze, but the purgatus also builds up soulblaze
I didn't know if it's the same effect or something else
Get some friends to go on heresy, ideally a shield ogryn
Isn't it something about finesse? Better damage on weakspot or something
Anyone got any real good tips for going out with a bang? it's the only psyker penance I have left and I cant get it done for the life of me
Wait for rng to give you 5 gunners and like 2 reapers
yeah duelling sword and knife do very good damage against weakspots
but specifically the duelling sword just absolutely shreds ragers for some reason
It interacts with the lmb
Trauma staff is probably good for knocking around elites and quickly building peril
Forget about soulblaze feats at 10 and 25. Ascendant blaze with 6 warp charges is the way
thanks
Yeah the only soulblaze feat worth using is ascendant blaze
YOU'RE worth it.
what Ascendant blaze do?
Tbh I found a group to do this for me and it was just shoving a bunch of shotgunners into a corner and blowing myself up. Use high peril gain to surge staff or trauma or spam force special
Ascendant blaze used only with flame staff to generate warp charges
Oh
Ok but why the malice-tier armor look like christmas
It turns your warp charges into stacks of soulblaze on every enemy hit by your ult
hidden seasonal theme
It uses up all your stacks of warp charge and deals massive AOE cone damage by igniting everything in front of you on fire, and everything killed by your soul fire has a 10% chance to give you a warp charge.
whaa?
wrong quote
And also makes enemies who die by soulblaze generate warp charges
Oh I see
losing your stacks doesnt sound good
You get em back
you get them back
Yeah, but the 10% chance to get them back from EACH SOURCE killed by your soul flame can make that nothing.
Do they actually die from the soul blaze?
Lol yeah if you time it right it kills a horde and you get 4 to 6 charges back
cos like soul blaze deals like 0 dmg
The flame staff attacks count as soul blaze
With 6 stacks? Yeah
Yes they do die
Just a separate soul blaze that doesn’t stack
Soul blaze is a stacking DoT
Oh?
so the more you apply the more damage it does.
Especially when you already have purgatus on top
its not a linear stack
interesting
someone should make a chart
I volunteer you
Nah flamestaffs soulblaze doesn’t stack with perk soulblaze iirc but both are considered “soulblaze”
and pin it
One stack of soulblaze does nothing. Each stack essentially doubles the damage though, so 6 is lethal to most enemies
Ohhf...so close to being good, but not quite
im a dirty s
The blaze damage changes depending on target so yea
urge main
Does the 30% toughness Regen on stack gain, stack over each other? So like 2 stacks gained is 60%?
I solely use my wrath to blow peril
I believe so
i thought it just refreshes duration
So purg to gain a ton of warp stacks legit?
I'm not sure, I hardly use it, but the wording seems to imply that.
WTB force sword with max mobility
It’s good for BB burst on ogryns or gunner packs and a decent push back when getting swarmed
Yes
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
ello' spark eds, my mate wants to know whats the strongest weps + feats , give it to me simpel am ogryn x
for siker
Yep yep. I got the “maintain warp stacks for 5 minutes” penance with a purgatus/ascendant blaze build
Be sure to also get psychic communion
Lmao we still argue everyday about the best weapon
depends, do they want to use surge, void or flame staff?
or a gun
Disgusting
I like the rapier and surge, others swear by axe and void staff. Also force sword good. Feats well there are obvious ones to grab and subjective ones, he will know
Not bad 😮
we do as gryns but im pretty set on rumbler + krourk knif lmao

can psykers get knives?
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
I feel like we can? I think i got one once or twice.
This is the feat I run but it changes if I switch to flame staff
with what weapons boss
Doesn't matter
force sword or axe, surge staff
#psyker-class message
Time to post it again
is the easy answer
General use build with exception of flame staff, I run force sword and surge staff
Well only ranged weapon that feels unusably bad is Trauma
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.
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
BB not one shotting Hounds past Malice is tragic
Oh yeah definitely, but playing the space wizard and using a gun is Incorrect
Okay, I need some feedback. Should I buy the blue and upgrade it or stick with my current?
also does basically 0 dmg
bb not one shotting hounds and the wrath ability doing piss-all against them is bs
damn that blue quell speed ong
Purple way better
Get both for future crafting
I find ability does push em back just make sure they are close ish for any actual effect
no shortage of money in this game
To answer your question definitively, yes. This is my psyker's shop.
You would never use one though
wrath ability?
push
Psykinetics wrath, the F ability
I like how it’s called psykinetics wrath but it actually does like no damage
You just shove em baxk
wrath still pushes them off someone in heresy right? don't remember
havent found the sweet spot
i ike surge staff to stun hounds and mutants
yeah but u pretty much gotta next to them
and bursters
they bark when they start their pounce animation
i dont know if its the games janky stairs but i was like 5ft away from a guy with a hound on him on a staircase and it just did nothing
clear, perfect line of site
I use it mostly under 3 situations, peril management, I’m getting swarmed, I see a special I want to kill and I decide to make room
Sounds like game jank to me
Juggled three Chargers and a dog at the same time with surge staff like 4 times now.
its actually clutch
it's a purely horizontal push. if you're below or above, the push does nothing. it's pretty annoying.
but deffo a support staff
Yra i jus use wrath for peril
thats lame. it feels so inconsistent, like sometimes it works vertically, other times not
By the Emperor this axe is awsome! Chops down unarmored elites with one Chop! and the Lighing staf to pair with to fry armored 🙂
yea I play Psyker mainly as a tank/support
rapier best weapon
Pray for brutal momentum and you sleeping well tonight
revives and stuns
False
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
I want to get a BB/special ability spam build and see if I can make it enjoyable
time for quickplay
I kinda wish there was a perk for the surge staff to have a chance to ignite a target with soul fire.
well, I wanted to fish for types of missions I lack but oh well
But Veterans can mow down people a lot faster
Also Veterans got some real good horde cleavin surprisingly
Wit
like an energy sword
I just wondering - if "God-Emperor-Roll" is more fitting term than "god-roll" for a Darktide items ? 🙂
I think there is. Like the soul fire on crit?
Not loke purg staff good but they can give em the chops for sure
yeah, that'd be cool
goodly roll
So purg staff is soul blaze dmg?
like the actual dmg or the dot?
rapier literally sonic simulator
Dunno but you can test it out in the meat grinder you build stacks like crazy
I see just firing it into a horde?
Yea
I'm pretty sure the main "attack" is soul blaze
so both forms of damage are soul blaze?
i guess so
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
so 6 stack wrath can clear out whatevers near you?
flame is understood to be mostly for trash
sometimes you catch an elite or two
but don't count on it
I see
6 stacks wont melt elites or specialists on t4+ but it's a good start to then torch em
psyker is a support class anyway higher tiers
Wish Surge staff also was soul blaze
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
But mah powah sord
Shoot the gunners 💀
need to buff brain burst for heresy and damnation
I like surge for zapping the armored gunners to death
But man the unarmored gunners take forever
surge staff is so 50/50 sometimes it melts sometimes i cant even kill a grunt
but hella useful regardless for the insane stun
it depends on their armor
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
ong like i zapped a random zombie 3 times and he just tanked it
but 3 flamers insta dead
did u know u can stack the damage buff if someone else kills ur zapped target
pretty efficent way of stacking that
stack dmg buff?
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
It only counts if you were half charge or more
i see u put in a bit more research than me
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
:rof
It’s not worth the peril though half the time and it’s hard to do purposely
oh for BB?
love it when the emperor sees fit to give me an orange autopistol
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
But that’s like the only BB you reach with the damage gain
still cant ever one shot a dog and thats so dumb
The non psykers will see surge and play along if you use flame they just assume they can run around dpsing and die 
Most people only run warp charges for the peril resistance
itll be interesting to see what happens to psyker after like a year of changes
what counts as a warp attack? anything that costs peril?
which dueling sword variant do you guys like the most?
since thas actually difficult for vets to shoot
Basically yeah
how do you properly use the purgatus staff? is it good for horde clearing?
Antax V combat axe
the charged l2 with a good team is quite something
theres too many melee variants
I like it, it's a bit worse flamer that doesn't need ammo. The best thing about thing is you ignore peril
Does peril resist conflict with the 4% chance to get stack though?
I honestly don't see the appeal of purg, feels like just a midpoint between surge and void
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
nah 4% chance is on kill peril resistance just means you build up less peril when you use staff, sword, or BB
4% is 15 peril resist is 10 no?
4% is lvl 15 warp resist is 10
Regarding the discussion that Surge staff sucks at trash mobs^
you don overload for having 100% heat with purg?
Thanks
surge is very good at killing the green night vision goggle shooters
sucks against poxxies and dregs
you don't, as long as you tap the R before your channelled attack reaches 0
Whats the red and blue mean?
ohh
yea against the armored yo7 do a ton!
I'll stick with the void i think
really good satisfying to throw a fully charged shot into a horde
Am I missing something with the force sword or is mostly just for deleting disablers on top of teammates?
specifically flak armor aka green night vision shooters + berserkers wearing tin armor + crushers + maulers
So tap r while shooting the flame?
action is fast paced and i find little reason to use force sword personally
Is surge better than Bb vs crushers and maulers?
aint nobody got time to put my hand on the side of the blade to do a single target dps skill

Yes, so you go to the "quell" animation instead of the "dying in horrible pain" animation. A single tap is enough, then you continue charging your next attack
just use a tactical axe
FS for me is mostly for Deflect
At what level purgatus unlock?
Fire staff performs best in the no accidental explosions regard
wow thas really good
Need to try that
just try it man 😂
like palpatine
tf
my fav dueling sword is mk 4
it's got some very quick and precise heavy attacks
So charge, sprint cancel and then charge again?
ya
But then you don’t look like palpatine
If they take that off the Psyker staff they’re making Psyker less viable for matchmaking
thisbtw
Nobody wants a class that just explodes


so what are your soulblaze builds? I tried doing it but seems lackluster a bit
upgrade that thing
u can do that too
I will say that animation cancel on surge seems to make it hit less targets since it takes time to jump between targets
i just like staying on my staff
thats actually a smart way to not explode
121112 (though either 1 or 3 work for the first tier)
if u lag switch urself
u can press F twice

but thats cuz i have shitty wifi internet 
psykers suck
wow insyant dmg
god purge staff is so much fun
Scream, scream, it sounds nice
I queued up with other 3 Veterans... I think I will kill 0 elites/specials on this game so... Let's sit back and relax getting carried 🤷♂️
this game was made for veterans chads only
i got 30 hours on my spyker, after spending 10 hours on my vet, i can say that your comment hurts me because of how truthfull it is
i kinda feel like vet is just really good moreso then psy bad
||They have fav personality and least boring moves ||
but psy does need some love
I’d say you are tank but they also have 3 power swords so…
I can equip a rifle to my Zealot if I wanted to shoot things
Lmao
But performance wise they are being treated like the psykers in 40k, suppressed
can't hear you over my big dick energy just blocking bullets
Vets be like "Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power"
power sword got nothing on peril axe
I bet there are people with 100+
so one can hold right click (block) during revives? 😮
Yea Psyker can block good
Canonically speaking couldn’t a psyker also be a veteran who just discovered their powers late
if you block before pickup it stays on i think is how it works
at least thats what ive been doing
Yes, jist like Vermintide cept most classes will quickly run oitta stamina for blocking
gaMe Is VeRy HarD
hold block to win
due to how shop rng resets every hour, not sure if you can trust playtimes at this point 
Yeah, that's sorta the backstop for one of the personalities except they were an arbites
good to know, after leveling 2 chars to 30 😂
cept for Psyker and Ogre
it was a lot more important in VT since every class could get 60% BCR
Never
to be fair this horde should have been dead 15 seconds faster
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
As it stands you have to tryhard more than the others with psyker but it offers satisfying gameplay
psyker sucks play vet or grenade gauntlet ogryn
I’m close to getting that
I wish the googles looked less nerdy
same.. 10 games away
And looking the exact same because you can’t see a damn thing with that outfit on
I just need to complete 3 mission types on heresy but knowing my luck with randoms….
All my fails are vets and zealots who think they can solo, cut them
I will wait for just a simple gray cloak for the palpatine drip
Psyker is only good for chain cc tbh
Everyone does hoard/elite killing better in every way
objectively proven false. see video above
Psyker good for reviving
Need some buffs for our main man
and tanking
psyker can revive teammates way better than others
Sparkead n Ogerym
Nerfing veteran would buff psyker
You can loke tank bosses for a real long time
All a player needs
I can imagine a new psyker player coming into psyker chat and just seeing every Psyker main talk about how psyker sucks and that they should just play vet XD
dont want to come across as rude, but the video shows almost nothing
You're dog shit
That's pretty funny
spam block heavy on any class lmao
I was thinking that, and was like “really don’t need more vets or zealots”
You ever feel like you take hp dmg through toughness? Whats up with that?
Once again, Siblings or ogryns,
sounds like you are too new at the game to know what peril block is
Nothing kills hordes like voidstrike
play more, when you get to damnation we talk again
(except purge
)
I've been using 4 Bleed on non weak spot dagger on my Psyker.. im never looking back till it gets nerfed. Dagger/bleed goes thru Bulwark shield.. so lol
Toughness mitigation is % based so you only take no hp damage if you are at full toughness
Purge does no dmg
At 40% toughness 60% of damage taken will go through to health
Imagine thinking damnation is hard
certainly for you because you don't know what peril block is
its hard to solo.. when NO ONE IS DOING DAMNATION
Purg def do dmg
get good idiot
Awww that sucks
Doesn't it auto-block for you? Or am I wrong about that
anyone who thinks other classes can do peril block is not even worth discussing
Peril block is no joke and not many classes can do that
It’s why I wonder if max toughness even matters that much if it’s % based
i rarely find people running heresy, and when i find it usually lv 18 and below 😔
by not many, we mean one
When I get actual teammates in damnation I clear it ez, but most of the time that means waiting 10m at the start of the mission
Except against shooters
Other classes... can peril block.... without peril?
he mostly seems to post about how the game is shit in gen chat
How?
right, so no loss in blocking a troll I suppose
i think some one in the reddit was saying malice and above are all low levels. Malice and below.. are all 20+ LOL
pretty much
I mean it’s more efficient to run low levels half the time
not wrong
Faster less stressful can hard carry easily
just clutched as psyker as last person alive, saved my friends by hiding in a corner and spamming surge staff lol
im running all low level.. and still get legendary drops plus work on my missions
I got to that level of despair after a loss chain and I started saying the game wasn’t fun
These blody randoms
i basically ran uprising until around level 15 and then switched to malice until 30
It is fun with a team that clicks
malice can be hit or miss though because of the 'difficulty' jump
Lol
idk, I always held down Block. In VT there was a mod that autoblocks for you
Lost like 7 heresies in a row half the time with randoms who went down before we even hit the first objective and another time when we could’ve won but the zealot took a leave of his senses and didn’t use his flamer on the boss
I barely noticed a difference from 2 to 3
this is purely me hitting the quick play button though
And yeah rq and only played uprising for two days straight
i get matched with actual NPC's a lot in 3
3 to 4 is where it really jumps, but only because of the endless hordes bug
it wouldn't be so bad if they weren't actually stupid
3 is aight unless you get bot teammates
Zealots who just run off ahead of the team 😎
How does dodge limit mechanic work?
then get pounced or something
Dodge distance gets decreased if you spam dodges
Easily tested by bringing a combat axe and spam dodging in the meat grinder
hmm? I see no one in damnation pubs but when I drop to heresy it's always insta full
Got ya
yea i have no issue getyong heresy matches
likely because of my region, since im in south america
Damnation pubs are mostly achievement hunting and most people running damnation are using premade or discord LFG
Also there’s no incentive to actually run damnation iirc
more xp 
Heresy is more efficient to farm crafting mats
do they have plans to combine currency?
Besides the most important incentive that is playing the game
from other characters
I seem to get more emps gifts running damnation but it could be rng I dunno
I don't play CSGO for skins or stats. It's just the game that's fun
More gold ones I mean
I almost wanna buy this on my psyker just cus of the roll lol
Clout is important? Cuz ngl rando damnation runs end 90% of the time like 5 min after spawn
Also rng shops for weapons is also bs
i buy certain weapons with extremely high/useful blessings/perks
i tried purgatus staff today
like 10% crit dmg 5% crit chance or high roll blessings
What clout are you referring to
i'm fairly certainly I wiped my own team because I blinded the otherwise good vet and he couldn't see a sniper
bro, purgatus flame is a fuck
Anyone figure out if Cloud Radius is just the length of the flame on Purgatus staff or width?
even marked red mobs get lost in the RTX raytraced bright as hell blue fire
His fault for not having brain burst sibling
Mark the snipers
well if youre running raytracing thats on u
imagine ur brain burst cant one shot suicide bombers 
What does ray tracing do?
traces rays
half your frames
burn your retinas
super lighting
drops your frames
I turned it off cos caused a lotta fps drops
i turned that shit off
ultra-realistic lighting/reflections
dogshit setting
just destroys fps
its really fancy lighting
i cant even really notice a graphics diff
Sends a guy called Ray to trace your recent activities
launch patch changed it. purgatus from other people are transparent.
funnily enough now it's the zealot flamer that is a problem
cliffhanger is making me want to stop playing, who came up with this stupid idea
its like light can reflect off itself and mimic irl light/surface reflections, and it looks good, but even high-end cards hit a massive fps loss iwth it
is it really
Yea I have a 2080 and it was still 😭
At what level purgatus unlock? (The flamer one)
yeah raytracing will be come standard in probably like 5 years
i'll ask a buddy of mine to send a clip of what it looks like
its not there yet
look if you are using a flamer you want to blind everyone
fair enough
Zealot w flamer and Psyker w purgestaff:
legally blind but nothing is hurting us so we must be doing good
and it looks cool
