psyker-class

[frigid pond]

damn

[faint walrus]

Fatshark lul

[frigid pond]

thats crazy

[safe raven]

imagine

[frigid pond]

not surprised but wtf

[safe raven]

posting

[tacit fractal]

Icons showcase what archetype or class what they’re playing like psyker has an eye thing, colours are there to differ from eachother who let’s say killed a trapper so you don’t have to worry

[safe raven]

like this

[frigid pond]

ill keep doing it

since it annoys you

[faint walrus]

Based

[frigid pond]

ha ha

[fresh reef]

dude

imagine

getting butthurt

over something like this

[frigid pond]

right?

[fresh reef]

l

[midnight violet]

what counts as an elite, for psykenetics aura. as opposed to specialists....which is which.

[fresh reef]

m

a

o

kek

[echo parrot]

I have finally done it siblings

[vernal imp]

gunners, shotgunners, crushers, maulers, ragers, bulwarks

[frigid pond]

hell yeah!

[spiral remnant]

DAAMN

[tropic halo]

fear me and my win/loss ration of 10 loses and a few wins i am a pro gamer

[spiral remnant]

NICE

[echo parrot]

Three ragers, the stars aligned

[vernal imp]

goggle gang goggle gang

[spiral remnant]

how did you get pick and mix?

i havent even tried that one

[bright cipher]

Why do you have a butt plug in your right hand?

[tacit fractal]

Very nice! I personally like having my psyker look iconic and use the Deimos rebreather

[midnight violet]

so whats a specialist then?

[frigid pond]

i keep getting into those situations with enough elites, but then im at 0% peril :c

[faint walrus]

^

[spiral remnant]

^ same

it's always so tragic

[vernal imp]

the special spawns that play sounds on spawn, trappers, bombers, mutants, hounds etc

[tardy flower]

just stay at max peril all run

[fresh reef]

I look like I'm ready to tp Nurgle's house

[orchid nest]

You do it on malice before they fix it

[faint walrus]

I thought that penance would get removed on release, but like.... Please it hard :((

[midnight violet]

ahhhhhhh

ok

[echo parrot]

Would you fight somebody wearing that drip weilding a butt plug?

[lethal plover]

tfw psyker looks the closest to jin-roh drip instead of vet

[spiral remnant]

i tried doing that once but i got sick of going around corners with brain burst right click held down

[spiral remnant]

huh

[tacit fractal]

You look like you just ran away from the Plague God’s mansion without a disease on you but the atmosphere still affected you

[midnight violet]

thanks, that makes alot more sense now.

[spiral remnant]

does that rlly make it easier?

i feel the main problem is getting 5 unique elites

[orchid nest]

it works on malice currently. they don't have to unique, can be same 5. wording is funky

[spiral remnant]

💀

oh my lord

[fresh reef]

lmao

[spiral remnant]

thats so much easier

[vernal imp]

yeah it can be the same, just 5 gunners

[spiral remnant]

thats really doable

i thought it had to be unique and i was

[vernal imp]

if you get high intense heresy+ on chasm logistratum, the assassin one i think? 5 gunners can spawn just after spawn

[spiral remnant]

terrified lol

[vernal imp]

its what i did

[orchid nest]

yeah I did it on 3 ragers, a bulwark, and a gunner

[fresh reef]

saving up for the dominus hood to piece it all together. light blue at the top, medium on the torso, dark at the legs

[tacit fractal]

Did it demand 5 seperate elites/specials?

[spiral remnant]

is there a 3rd tier hood?

[vernal imp]

ye

[spiral remnant]

fuke

[vernal imp]

black&red with goggles

[midnight violet]

i cant get a team that will even let me kill all 5 myself lol

[tardy flower]

just do it without their permission

[vernal imp]

goggle gang goggle gang

[tacit fractal]

I don’t like the goggles I must say cause like the coolest part about Psykers are the way their eyes can glow with raw power

[faint walrus]

been stuck on the peril explosion on 3 elites and the 90% damage with BB on bosses for my 2nd tier hood

Hate it

[orchid nest]

yeah the goggles are cool but I like the 160k gold black hood with the malleus chest for the same reason

[spiral remnant]

feel ya

[split elm]

this seems decent

[spiral remnant]

rip

[vernal imp]

i just prefer showing off my effort, plus premium cosmetics are trash, i see too many psykers with the toilet bowl helmet

[midnight violet]

been tryinmg if im lucky enough for that to spawn, inevitably someone will take one down while im going for it.

[ebon wigeon]

it feels wrong telling your teammates to kite a boss for 5 minutes

[spiral remnant]

slightly mediocre gear rolls but besides that top tier perks and blessings

[vernal imp]

yep, brutal momentum turns it into probably the best melee for psyker rn

[tacit fractal]

Not really, you help them with penances, why would they not do the same for you?

[vernal imp]

i'd get it anyway, regardless of "bad stat rolls"

[tardy flower]

yea, a lot of these achievements are more about having a premade let you get them

they're not really about achieving anything

[spiral remnant]

im assuming refining and rebless will be to switch out blessings and perks between weapons?

[bleak sonnet]

yes

[orchid nest]

much easier/faster having an ogryn or appropriate setup psyker tank a daemonhost for you

[bleak sonnet]

eventually

[spiral remnant]

so then gear rating is the only min max stat

🤔

[tacit fractal]

I just call it the among us helmet

[bleak sonnet]

technically atm

[spiral remnant]

has anybody confirmed the highest gear rating?

[faint walrus]

it is tho

[vernal imp]

thats the fucked thing, veteran's are all basically "get good at the game", ours is "screw you, get a premade or get REALLY lucky"

[bleak sonnet]

but even that's pretty negligible

[lethal plover]

quite good

[bleak sonnet]

most weps only have 3 important stats or so so hitting a 380 with all good rolls might only be marginally better than a 350 depending on wep

[spiral remnant]

man i LOVE playing darktide as a game. hate the grinding

[bleak sonnet]

word

[spiral remnant]

doesnt feel satisfying

[tacit fractal]

Deimos Rebreather though with the Malleus Monstronum black uniform and either bright glowing blue or orange eyes is fucking siiiick

[spiral remnant]

getting 16k ordo dockets to buy another lasgun im not going to play with

[bleak sonnet]

i felt a lot more joy getting good rolled reds in vt2 for sure

[faint walrus]

The rebreather temps me, it looks so sick

[spiral remnant]

in order to raise average gear rating

[tardy flower]

the rebreather also muffles your voice

[tacit fractal]

It is hold on lemme find my screenshots

[spiral remnant]

tbf tho, i can definitely see the community of vt2 complaining about rolls

[vernal imp]

god i cant wait for the crafting so i can slap transfer peril on this

[spiral remnant]

and how they were all rng based

[orchid nest]

yeah like antax for example do you even get anything over the second hit cleave breakpoint? does it also add more cleave damage?

[bleak sonnet]

no

[spiral remnant]

which could def get old after a while

[lethal plover]

the curve of diminishing returns of the grinding actually serves a purpose
it makes most people happy to stop grinding and just play with what you have as there is not a big difference, while the OCD completionists have a goal to keep playing

[bleak sonnet]

it's not really DR

its just a hard wall lol

[spiral remnant]

i can understand that, but then all that leaves are penances?

[tacit fractal]

@faint walrus https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/620372694436937793/1048718957756026952/image.png

[spiral remnant]

which is kinda just ehhhh

[vernal imp]

at least it was easy to reroll in vt2, and the grind was fine...
after they fixed the green dust issue

[faint walrus]

GAWD DAMN

[spiral remnant]

hawt

[tacit fractal]

I TOLD YOU

[lethal plover]

I am happy to not care about penances

[spiral remnant]

unfortunately costs monety :(

[tacit fractal]

Dirt cheap money

[faint walrus]

I wish Psyker felt as tanky as that suit

[vernal imp]

👨‍🦲

[lethal plover]

I'm not a follower of Slaanesh

so I don't need all penances

[sand dune]

what do you guys think?

[orchid nest]

I love that store cosmetic from the front but the blue on the back collar clashes a bit

[tacit fractal]

You talkin smack to bald people?

[tardy flower]

don't worry, they'll sell a different one with black or red eventually

[spiral remnant]

AWESOME

[vernal imp]

great stats, shred is nice, +stamina is bad and blazing spirit in my experience isn't great

[spiral remnant]

HOLY

[vernal imp]

you have a god weapon when crafting comes out

[orchid nest]

lmao so true, ez money

[sand dune]

yeah hoping to re roll some of those stats

[spiral remnant]

fantastic gear roll, great blessings, and i personally like the perks

[faint walrus]

Opinion on funny surge boi?

[spark gale]

Just hit level 30. What is the max combo of stats on stuffs? Wondering if dis worth it
https://i.gyazo.com/12833a3a589a8b3c9f6aa65e798957d3.png

[faint walrus]

69% lul

[spiral remnant]

solid 👍

[tacit fractal]

I had an absolute blast doing all Psyker challenges

[vernal imp]

i just dislike the helmets in this game that turn you bald without hiding it, like the 1st tier hood

or the zealot premium hood

[tacit fractal]

I love it cause it reminds me of Kaldor Draigo

[faint walrus]

RIP hair

[tacit fractal]

And Luthor Huss

[bright cipher]

Trash. You want FS for two blessings which are deflector and exorcist.

[spiral remnant]

rating = modifiers (321 in this case) and perks (20) in this case. when consecrating a weapon, you're only increasing the rating by the rating of the added on modifier or blessing. Ergo, for the "best" weapon, you would want to go for the maximum modifier roll

[midnight violet]

do the modifiers go up in percewnt when you craft, or does it just add perks? i dont want to try, im saving my mats and my modifiers on most things are not ideal.

[spiral remnant]

nope

just perks/blessings unfortunately

[faint walrus]

^

[midnight violet]

thought so

[bright cipher]

They also said once crafting is added you'll be able to change everything except the base stat rolls

So we'll basically be hunting for good bases

[spiral remnant]

gahh

[vernal imp]

yep, only worth upgrading stuff thats like, if you REALLY need that weapon / blessing, or stuff that is high stat rolls, 350+

[spiral remnant]

thats going to make shop refreshing

[spark gale]

What ish max modifier and max perk?

[spiral remnant]

even more of a big deal

[vernal imp]

so basically what we're already doing but slightly less painful

yaaaay

[faint walrus]

may the god-emperor bless my RNG

[spiral remnant]

perks tend to come in tiers from what I'vee seen? 15, 20, and 25 rating

[midnight violet]

yeah i been keeping an eye out. gotta wait another hour for...i roll that even HAS a force sword...

[spark gale]

ty

[bright cipher]

I mean we don't know if you'll be able to craft bases

[spiral remnant]

blessings can be Tier 1-4

idk how it calculates blessing rating

its pretty wonky

[spiral remnant]

hopefully 🥺

[bleak sonnet]

we wont

they said

[midnight violet]

i havent even seen deflector yet, and im level 30 checking every hour when im not at work lol. sad

[spiral remnant]

deflector?

[bright cipher]

I just wanna reroll the blessings on my otherwise great surge staff

[spiral remnant]

whats the modifier score?

[bright cipher]

Run and gun and channeling are ok but I can do better

[midnight violet]

its a blessing. blocks ranged on force sword

[bright cipher]

360

[spiral remnant]

nicee

i've seen a rating go up to 381 before

[bright cipher]

Max roll is 400

[spiral remnant]

is there a confirmed cieling ?

[bright cipher]

But I haven't seen it yet

[spiral remnant]

has anybody

gotten even close?

[faint walrus]

Idk why the staffs get the hipfire blessing

[bright cipher]

Yeah I've seen a guy with a 391

[midnight violet]

dont knock staff hipfire, headshots are good.

[bleak sonnet]

anything above 380 seems like the stats arent properly adding up

ive seen a few up to 387 but base stats never added up higher than 380

[bright cipher]

Stats don't add up linearly

[spiral remnant]

daamn...

[warm spindle]

what is max weapon rating?

400?

[faint walrus]

I wish I could use the primary with my goddamn projectile lag

[spiral remnant]

hypothesized

[vernal imp]

personally if i get a 360+ i'll be happy with it, unless the dump stat happens to be damage, warp res or first target

[spiral remnant]

man i love game speculation

might just be me

but i love the aspect of like

[bright cipher]

Besides the sprint perk this is nearly god rolled

[spiral remnant]

theorizing with the community

on how to min max

[pine topaz]

I KNOW 😦

[spiral remnant]

builds

[warm spindle]

its 500 from the look of it tho

[pine topaz]

stupid sprint is so useless

[warm spindle]

from above picture

[spark gale]

https://i.gyazo.com/8797f519ffd6f96526a6e02cdf939038.png

:3c

[bright cipher]

Were talking about base rating

Not total rating

[spark gale]

Dis looks like errything a lightning staff would need

[vernal imp]

oof warp res

[bright cipher]

Yeah lol

[spiral remnant]

i feel like quell speed is the least important stat?

[vernal imp]

charge rate isn't great for surge since it only affects damage of the shock

[bright cipher]

Warp res is the single most important stat ok surge staves

[vernal imp]

i'd say charge is dump for surge

[faint walrus]

High quell speed saved my ass a fair bit of times

[spiral remnant]

whenever i get high peril i usually just go play melee while i wait

[spark gale]

Well personally I Like da void ones mostest but none on my merchant :c

[midnight violet]

i prefer the charge rate on this, the crit blessing doesnt sound that good if it works how i think it does.

[bleak sonnet]

very good

[pine topaz]

omfg i just bought this

[bright cipher]

Goated for a long while

[bright cipher]

Why

[midnight violet]

id love for that show up for me.

[bright cipher]

Devil claw is shite

[pine topaz]

it was only 10k gold

[spark gale]

Deflector seems op. I always get ganked by the ranged bois

[bleak sonnet]

this is effectively bis when you can reroll perks, the damage rolls you'd get from better stats are about 1-3 damage total

[vernal imp]

any 360+ is worth buying, especially when we don't know what will get buffed or nerfed

unless its a god damn laspistol or autopistol LOL

[bleak sonnet]

hey man

maybe they buff laspistol

[bright cipher]

Yeah ofc

[faint walrus]

Why do I have more dmg when you have a higher damage mod? Unless it counts first target for the calculation?

[bleak sonnet]

if its one of the worst weapons, it might get a sick buff

it counts FT

[faint walrus]

lul

[bright cipher]

I buy up all high base rating items I'd want to use just to have a stock of stuff I can slam with upgrades

[spiral remnant]

yo why that blaze force look weird?

[faint walrus]

Weirdchamp

[bleak sonnet]

the dmg calc is damage against one person

[spiral remnant]

is that one of the skins?

[bleak sonnet]

total

[faint walrus]

I have a skin on it lmao

[spiral remnant]

ah

[vernal imp]

i don't know how they could ever make laspistol a viable pick after level 2

[pine topaz]

yeah, but all 380+ green and greys is what I've been told

[bleak sonnet]

up the damage

lol

[pine topaz]

*buy

[faint walrus]

Red bitch gameing

[true lake]

Fire Waste skin or whatever it was called

[willow oyster]

the difference in first target percentage wise is significantly higher on the force sword because of just how high of a dmg multiplier first target on it can get, 1.88x at the absolute max

[spiral remnant]

has anybody deciphered curio rating calculations?

i know it's not just perks + blessing

[vernal imp]

yeah, first target and damage are honestly BIS for force sword, you can delete bosses with activate

[spiral remnant]

because i got a 153 one that should be 143

[vernal imp]

only some random programmer at fatshark knows i think

[spiral remnant]

reveal your secrets to us fat shork

[midnight violet]

how important is first target? cos im wondering about consecrating this to see what it gets

[bleak sonnet]

dont

[vernal imp]

dont personally

[midnight violet]

okie dokie

[bright cipher]

Dont

[vernal imp]

it's a "fine" sword but if you're serious, try to get first target high

[bright cipher]

323 low roll

[faint walrus]

idk, mine is missing like 5 points

[spark gale]

So if 360 is good for green then what is good for blue

[willow oyster]

you'd have to test the damage out, but regardless first target on the force sword being low is really bad, statistically speaking

[vernal imp]

if you dont have one and have an abundance of mats go for whatever

[bright cipher]

360 is good for grey

[spark gale]

o

[midnight violet]

what does it cost to fully upgrade?

[bleak sonnet]

lots

[vernal imp]

a bunch

[willow oyster]

like 600 diamantine iirc in total

[bleak sonnet]

at least 3 plasteel

[midnight violet]

i got 1615 AND 5890 p

[vernal imp]

diamantine isnt the issue, its plasteel

i never have enough plasteel

why

[willow oyster]

plasteel is a problem?

[bright cipher]

Just run damnation raids

[spark gale]

Has anyone seen the random boxes be worth it vs. just saving for the random roll on the contract merchant?

[bright cipher]

You get about 200 of each per run

[willow oyster]

im always low on diamantine

[spiral remnant]

YO

[bright cipher]

Very fast farm

[spiral remnant]

I GOT A LEGENDARY

[faint walrus]

ooooff

[spiral remnant]

FROM RANDOM RANGED

[bleak sonnet]

headhunter autogun tho

[spiral remnant]

TOO BAD ITS A CRAPPY GUN 😭

[spiral remnant]

yeah...

[faint walrus]

claps on RNG but also sadge for RNG

[spark gale]

so random roll doesn't gib legendary

[vernal imp]

headhunter more like discardhunter

[spiral remnant]

solid tho

good distribution

[vernal imp]

damn

[spiral remnant]

goood perks

[vernal imp]

ghost is actually really good too

[faint walrus]

ghost is based

[spiral remnant]

might play with it sometime

[vernal imp]

got called a hacker for not taking damage with an autopistol with it once

[spiral remnant]

got super lucky

[vernal imp]

fun match

[midnight violet]

TOO BAD YOU CANT GIVE IT TO YOUR VET....MAN I HATE THE INABILITY TO SHARE WEAPONS....DO YOU THINK THAT'LL EVER BE A THING?

sorry caps

[faint walrus]

imagine shareable inventories

[vernal imp]

fatshark hates fun rn, so no

[olive ember]

How we feel about this sword

just consecrated it

[bleak sonnet]

not bad

[vernal imp]

pretty good

[faint walrus]

blocking ranged is a blessing of its own

[bleak sonnet]

if its any solace i run a blue force sword with 60% damage and can clear damn with it

so like, you're good man

[vernal imp]

personally i dont care about warp res on the sword since it being 50% or so is just fine, plus with quietitude i like to spam it before encounters so i have regen at the start

[midnight violet]

this is my force sword im using

[lethal plover]

is there even a headhunter autogun enjoyer on this planet

[midnight violet]

and thats my staff

[bleak sonnet]

even im not that controversial delerik

[faint walrus]

that sword is yummy

[pine topaz]

yeah i don't think warp resist on the sword matters all that much

[midnight violet]

waiting for better but rng hates me

[vernal imp]

i can't even pretend to like the headhunter

[bleak sonnet]

that being said

ive actually never used it

gonna run it tomorrow

[vernal imp]

it is a gun of all time

[bleak sonnet]

it is really one of the guns of all time?

i do like guns

[vernal imp]

even when i used it as a vet i just thought "nah lucius mk3 is better" and THATS bad

[spiral remnant]

ehh guns are cool

but it's just

defeats the purpose of playing psyker

[lethal plover]

oh boi

[bleak sonnet]

:)

[spiral remnant]

idk i like force staff game play

[tropic halo]

i hate these penances so much

[spark gale]

Why can Psyk even use guns tho

[tropic halo]

i just want pants

[spiral remnant]

good will

😃

[vernal imp]

consider the following:
you can ult with gun at any point, reload, firing? anything

[tropic halo]

... because they can use guns?

[deft valley]

How many Palpatine psyker players?

[vernal imp]

amazing for speedrunning

[spiral remnant]

maebe

[spiral remnant]

i like purgustus and void strike more

[spark gale]

Wrong, it's because it fills da loot table with useless garbo

[spiral remnant]

personally

more oomph

[spiral remnant]

it'd be nice if they atleast made it like 60/40 on staves vs guns

[lethal plover]

it's the most popular rn, if I am doing any guessing

[spiral remnant]

it's almost always guns

[tropic halo]

you ever seen 40k before? psykers wield guns all the time. the loot table is bs though, yeah

[spark gale]

https://tenor.com/view/so-uncivilised-gif-24177115

[frigid pond]

...did my contract bug or were there really zero dreg in a heresy mission

what the hell

[vernal imp]

that bug still exists

so probably happened to you

[frigid pond]

ugh

[deft valley]

Haven't unlocked purgustus what's its secondary attack?

[vernal imp]

flamethrower

[frigid pond]

its primary and secondary is flame

one is just charged

[spiral remnant]

flamey

i like purg its s osatisfying

seeing the flame explode in blue flames

[frigid pond]

i love purge its fun

[spiral remnant]

running it with soul blaze feats is also

[spark gale]

tbh idk anything bout 40k but I know I like bein boom mage so that is good nuf for me to serve the edgy space fash's

[spiral remnant]

VERY good

[vernal imp]

me like purge with uninterruptible secondary but i just don't like the soulblaze stuff at all

[frigid pond]

eh, its okay

soulblaze in general is kinda sad

but it is nice for keeping warp stacks

[spiral remnant]

i mean eh? I almost always have full warp charges

[frigid pond]

its def a must take with purge, but i feel like it could be stronger

[spiral remnant]

and not once do i have to use brain burst except for armored elites

[bleak sonnet]

full warp charges with flame ult 1 shots hordes tho

:P

funny

[vernal imp]

4 or 6?

[frigid pond]

6

[boreal wave]

In 40k psykers are actually deadly. So, this game isn't exactly a 1 for 1 with the tabletop

[frigid pond]

i know

[bleak sonnet]

6

wait

i forgot

[spiral remnant]

you guys run warp battery? y?

its so poopy

[bleak sonnet]

i actually am a headhunter enjoyer

i run it on my zealot

LOL

[vernal imp]

its just, everytime i use the purge staff i remember the DOT has to get the kill for the warp charge %, and it irks me

[spiral remnant]

oh lawd

[frigid pond]

its for AB

[tropic halo]

... okay, so we got even more reason to use guns

[bleak sonnet]

headhunter slaps fym

empty that bitch out, slap it in your inventory

gain crit

[spark gale]

well best teams I've been on are all psyk so idk about not being deadly

[spiral remnant]

oh yeah

i see my peril sometitmes just drop?

is that why?

[vernal imp]

"this gun is great, just dont use it" roulette best blessing

[frigid pond]

you have a 10% passive

[bleak sonnet]

ues

yes

[spiral remnant]

😳 oops

[frigid pond]

any time you kill something ur peril can drop 10%

[spiral remnant]

have not been playing around that at all

[boreal wave]

Yeah I've tried to play with the purge staff and I'm not sure how people do it. Too many chaff enemies just charge through the flames.

[bleak sonnet]

guys i have a final exam in like 10 hours

and i cant sleep

[spiral remnant]

what feats y'all running? (ignore the level 30, i have that for pick and mix)

[spiral remnant]

you got melatonin?

[bleak sonnet]

already drank

LOL

[vernal imp]

3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3

[olive ember]

you run that lvl 30 perk even if it isn't pick n mix unless you running purge staff

[spiral remnant]

im running purge staff :)

[olive ember]

ah

[spiral remnant]

ehe

[tropic halo]

laying in bed and resting helps some even if you dont fully sleep

[void terrace]

the blockkk

[deft valley]

chamomile tea might help

[frigid pond]

mostly testing 1, kinda not sure how i feel about it yet

[olive ember]

holy shit also I just realized I had the wrong toughness regen feat lmao

and I beat a heresy

[frigid pond]

ezpz

[olive ember]

congrats

[spiral remnant]

nicee

[bleak sonnet]

guys check this out

[spiral remnant]

solid

[vernal imp]

the warp charge regen? i never can get it to feel nice

[spiral remnant]

oh i got a similar one from an emp drop

[frigid pond]

yeah

[olive ember]

This is my purge staff build

[olive ember]

but I never run purge staff

[frigid pond]

i think 3 is just better

[spiral remnant]

:(

[bleak sonnet]

that's 42% more damage

[olive ember]

this is my surge staff build

[bleak sonnet]

than mine

wtf

[boreal wave]

Does block protect you 360 or do you have to be facing the attack. Seems silly if it's 360 but I've heard conflicting answers

[frigid pond]

i believe its 360

[olive ember]

thats my voidstrike build

[spiral remnant]

you rolled 8% damage...

[olive ember]

but I barely run void strike

[spiral remnant]

how

[spiral remnant]

but its s ogood :(

[vernal imp]

it feels like 360

[frigid pond]

it very much feels 360

[spiral remnant]

especially in the scenarios when there is a horde running at you

[olive ember]

Surge staff moment truly

[spiral remnant]

love me curios

[boreal wave]

If it is that would definitely increase my survivability knowing that

[spiral remnant]

my weapons are slacking but my curios strong 💪

[void terrace]

thicc curio numbers

[boreal wave]

Every time I die it's from some douche behind me

[spiral remnant]

I'm running 20% hp on all of them

which was a horrible idea

[olive ember]

its 360 on melee, if you are running deflector or shield ranged damage is directional, so you gotta actually look at the shooters

[spiral remnant]

because now im a 250 hp psyker with 2 wounds

[vernal imp]

anyways im gonna go to bed, me just happy i did all psyker penances, got deflector FS, both weapons are 450+ and 110+ curios

night yall

[spiral remnant]

night!

[spiral remnant]

the emepror protects

[spiral remnant]

damn u got the same 3 base curios

[spiral remnant]

i want it :(

[frigid pond]

does stamina on staves Actually do anything really

[deft valley]

So when do you start getting gold items in the req shop?

[tropic halo]

I hate the psyker penances. so much.

[void terrace]

stam on staff probably lets you run a little longer Haha

[bleak sonnet]

i crave the day i roll a 380+ base stat mk12 lasgun

[frigid pond]

wooo

[spiral remnant]

never :(

[spiral remnant]

why..

i dont like las gun :(

[deft valley]

Agreed been trying to bb a pouncing hound its smh

[bleak sonnet]

for to kill things cooler and better

[olive ember]

welcome sibling

[spiral remnant]

i got so lucky

[tropic halo]

i just want pants

[spiral remnant]

and got that on my 2nd run

[olive ember]

that one is one of the easier ones tbh

[spiral remnant]

out of luck

[tropic halo]

it's not that i cant do it

[olive ember]

Have a hound aggro on to you on any difficulty, bb and dodge and as they go past the bb procs and kills them

and it counts

[tropic halo]

it's the server. psyker penances are outright impossible with veterans around.

[quaint shell]

Worth?

[plucky shuttle]

I think the worst penance is the one where you gotta kill 3 elites by exploding yourself 💀

[olive ember]

both mid but the one on the right is better

the one on the left has abysmal first target

also deflector > any other FS trait for the time being

[pine topaz]

both are crap

[deft valley]

What's the reward? Don't think I saw that one

[midnight violet]

can anyone tell me what brittleness is. ive seen it on blerssings and asked a couple times. never got an answer

[plucky shuttle]

A chest piece

[spiral remnant]

the 90% brain burst boss penance is bad but it's probably the "best" penance out of all of them

its the only one you can reliably set up

and even tho its tedious, it's not very rng based

[plucky shuttle]

The easiest psyker penance

[spiral remnant]

W...

[spiral remnant]

still requires a coordinated team tho

[olive ember]

This is the drip you get for completing all malice missions

[gray island]

hard choices 😦

[deft valley]

So that's what it's meaning didn't think about that

[distant spade]

Can someone help, what is this ability?

[tardy flower]

100% peril

[distant spade]

"Perils of the warp"

oooooooh

[void terrace]

that is the ability to suffer

[plucky shuttle]

Just said it, kill 3 elites by exploding yourself

[bleak sonnet]

bro dripped out

[pine topaz]

you will meet 71 virgins soon

[olive ember]

thats blowing yourself up

[pine topaz]

or was it 72

[distant spade]

Roger, roger, thanks yall.

Now I know I have to explode

[olive ember]

its arguably the worst achievement to get on par with pick n mix

[tardy flower]

pretty sure you meet them in the time it takes you to get the penance done

[plucky shuttle]

It can't be the same type, right?

[distant spade]

its ok I just die, my team has to deal with me being ded

[olive ember]

the easiest achievement to get are either warp battery or not even close, those are the only two you can get without going out of your way to do so

[void terrace]

I feel like pick n mix is slightly less painstaking

[olive ember]

nah 5 gunners work, its just worded badly

good luck getting 5 gunners lined up before your vet kills them though if you are doing it through normal matches

[plucky shuttle]

Okay cool, that makes it slightly better

[plucky shuttle]

Actually relatively easy when majority of them don't go for specials/elites

[olive ember]

its not, trust me I've spent hours on it

[tropic halo]

going through it atm

[olive ember]

unless you got "lucky" and got a rly bad team

[tropic halo]

its hell

[void terrace]

you could probably solo pick n mix on the right map

[deft valley]

I like the assassin feel to it

[void terrace]

one of the chasm maps for sure

[plucky shuttle]

What I meant to say is that one sniper will wipe an average team of vets

[olive ember]

you def could, but its still bad

[tardy flower]

i got it randomly

just playing normally

[lethal plover]

you mean this server?

probably more

[gray island]

im stuck

[olive ember]

yeah so with kinetic barrage it takes ~8 seconds to kill 5 enemies

so you got 4 seconds of leeway between your 5 elite/special kills

[bleak sonnet]

the one u have equipped is better

burn stat v important

[split elm]

what's "First Target"? on weapons

[olive ember]

but yeah the two worst ones are pick n mix and going out with a bang

both need you to get a group of elites together and kill them without anyone in your team killing them for you

[tardy flower]

damage multiplier to first target hit

[mellow crescent]

What main traits are optimal on curios?

[olive ember]

they also nerfed suicide explosion damage, to the point where it doesnt always one shot a dreg shotgunner

[distant spade]

getting yourself a good toughness traits or stamina is always useful

[bleak sonnet]

i run 1 wound, and try to get to 130 toughness to not take hp damage from 1 gunner on damnation

[olive ember]

stamina is mid imo on psyker

run max hp

[mellow crescent]

stamina
blocking with peril exists

[olive ember]

actually is max toughness even that useful on any class since bleedthrough is % based

like will lets say 50 extra toughness mean anything at higher difficulty

[midnight violet]

woowwwwww. not a siongle force sword or staff in the weapon shop. again. i just...i mean....rng on stats, and dont even see the weps anyway.... i do not understand this design decision...wtf man...come ON

[tardy flower]

run 3 wounds so you can praise the god emperor as you throw yourself into a horde of enemies with 100% peril

[mellow crescent]

PsyBurster build lmao

[split elm]

you can get +2 wounds on curios

so you could be blowing yourself up constantly

[distant spade]

there's % bleed through but it helps to absorb a big attack, not the greatest thing but its there.

Max HP would also run into the problem of % bleed

[runic gate]

EPARAHS GIFT 380. Not super familiar with Decimator but seems strong.

[bleak sonnet]

fuck u

give me

[tropic halo]

fuck these pants

[ebon wigeon]

thats not how pants work

[bleak sonnet]

pants. have 3 holes

definitely fuckable

[deft valley]

And there starts the dark convos lol

[mellow crescent]

pants have pockets 😩

[bleak sonnet]

5 holes then tbh

whole gang get in on it

run a train

[mellow crescent]

only the bravest try the zipper hole

[bleak sonnet]

😳

[distant spade]

not with that attitude

[bleak sonnet]

do my equipped items affect shop or just in inventory

[bright cipher]

lmao even the perks on it are goated

[tardy flower]

I don't think anything affects the shop tbh

[bright cipher]

it does

[tropic halo]

How did they

[bright cipher]

and its inventory as a whole

[tropic halo]

really expect us to do these penances

[bright cipher]

at least 1 improvement from vt2

[bright cipher]

LFG

[distant spade]

per a post from a CM.

Mainly character lvl
Then item levels

[tropic halo]

when it literally goes against the entire gameplay

[tardy flower]

I mean, if that was true my shop wouldn't be full of complete garbage every time

[tropic halo]

ive done the monster one. ive done the suicide one. i am so tired of these retarded, non-fun penances

[ebon wigeon]

its not like you can even set up a dedicated achivement room

i would do that for overwatch

[bright cipher]

?

wdym

make a group, go into a mission

[ebon wigeon]

like overwatch and tf2 is all player vs player

randos will walk past ammo even whe nthey're empty, you think they'll coordinate achievement missions with you?

[deft valley]

I mean technically you could by discord but other then that it's a toss

[distant spade]

TF2 was also one of the few communities of "Hey I'm trying to do this thing" and everyone was rushing to help the guy do the thing

[runic gate]

Prob my best gift/roll/item so far. Lucky night Is decimator solid?

[ebon wigeon]

you'd need 4 man premade for sure, but even then the mission itself may not work with you

[tropic halo]

is that really fun? i've done that for the other penances. you're not even playing the game anymore. it's not even a challenge, not the way they intended it. it's a challenge against common sense and the actual gameplay itself

[deft valley]

True like I said it's a toss after the discord search

[tropic halo]

with no actual structure to support it other than hopefully asking people constantly nicely to sacrifice the game

[valid marsh]

Emperor gave me this just now

[distant spade]

#general-chat message

[bright cipher]

no i dont think its fun, i dont even care about penances at all, i get my fun from doing domination runs back to back to back

[distant spade]

found the post

[bright cipher]

with a solid and relaxed team

[deft valley]

What would be recommended for that I know for sure ogryn would be a must

[tropic halo]

you just need people to not kill the specials, honestly, which goes against the entire game

[deft valley]

Oh that's what you meant

[bright cipher]

go on hardest difficulty on that one map that starts with the wide open bridge

you can instantly tell if theres enough big boys

that fit ur needs

[tropic halo]

logic chasm?

[bright cipher]

if not, quit and restart

[ebon wigeon]

also remember that everyone is trying to earn their own penances as well

[deft valley]

Sorry misread the replied comment lol

[runic gate]

How's decimator? I jsut got this.

[valid marsh]

It seems good

and the axe you just got is good just for the stats and the perks

that thing is nice looking

[bright cipher]

yeah thats why u use LFG on discord and set up penance groups

[valid marsh]

deals with unarmored targets so its good for nuking chaff, and has anti carapace armor so its good for when you run into bulwarks and maulers

[runic gate]

Yeah gonna upgrade, need 900 plasteel, wasted a ton on staffs today

[bright cipher]

i love the antax heavy attack man

its just a big downward

CHOP CHOP CHOP

like a logger

so simple

[tropic halo]

i got a 500 surge staff now with run n gun

im mobile as hell now

[deft valley]

So recommended player lvl for 3-4 missions? Asking cause my psyker at 13 brother play ogryn 14 w/shield but we kinda struggle with randos

[bright cipher]

i did malice at lvl 10

and heresy at 20

but i wouldnt suggest that for the avg player

especially if youre pugging

[tropic halo]

honestly? malice, you can do pretty early? like around 10? 4's where skill just dicates it a lot and decent gear. i play heresy only nowadays and endless horde mode can be brutal on certain maps

[bright cipher]

more than gear, heresy demands u start playing well

[uneven sparrow]

Im eating grape sour patch kids rn

[tropic halo]

yeah you need to know your fundamentals

when i started dodging and sliding and blocking way more, the game really opened up

even been carrying some groups in heresy now

[tacit fractal]

I would only recommend Malice and Heresy if you know how the game works and you kick ass the most in Uprising

[warm spindle]

based

[bright cipher]

fair

not everyone came from vt2 cata

[deft valley]

Yeah I think that's my issue I keep forgetting bout the dodge system

[distant spade]

I challenge you to the dumbest thing to come out of my mouth today, in the last hour, ok 5 minutes tops.

Make a PB&J Sammich but use the grape sour patch kids instead of jelly

[tacit fractal]

Yeah that’s what I mean, I did vt2 cata Chaos Waste runs A LOT and succeeded 80% of the time with my mates but not everyone has done so

[uneven sparrow]

Its gonna be so sour

[tropic halo]

gotta dodge, absolutely essential.

[robust meteor]

when you get to the point of cata being boring, darktide pugs become infuriating lol

[distant spade]

I'm not hearing a no

[robust meteor]

and even premades

[tacit fractal]

Do you think I haven’t been in that state multiple times?

[finite lynx]

Or a pre-made when you wipe once and someone instantly leaves.. thanks, time to find another fill

[tropic halo]

but at the end of the day, always make sure you're having fun. if shit's too hard, dial down the difficulty. use it to learn the mechanics better, and your weapons honestly. even now im only barely remembering that surge has a m1 function, and now it really helps me. aim got better.

[tacit fractal]

@deft valley Learn dodging, sound alerts of enemies, specials and incoming shots or melee attacks on your ass and spacing so you have room to work with rather than get ganked in a corner by something like 7 ragers

[tropic halo]

agreed. play long enough, and your ears will be eyes behind the back of your head.

[robust meteor]

i'm struggling to find a group of players to run with

[tacit fractal]

Yeah having fun is most important which is a big challenge when you’re used to playing ultra hard with a dedicated experienced team

[robust meteor]

trying to find people from vt2

[distant spade]

I would have joined you but its bedtime

[robust meteor]

maybe tomorrow

[deft valley]

I'm usually good on the ragers usually get fried by the lighting but sometimes bb myself cause I pay to much attention on the group damage without quell lol but with that I've had 100% and was able to quell but some cases 100% causes the self BB any explanation on that?

[tacit fractal]

With Surge?

[deft valley]

Yeah

[edgy finch]

what are the best psyker weapon combos for heresy/damnation difficulties?

[tacit fractal]

Psykinetic has it’s passive 10% chance to reduce 10% peril on kill

And it depends when it pops off also, the more you fuck around with it the more you find out what’s the soft spot and what’s the KABOOM spot

[deep rivet]

if your peril gain puts you over 100% that's how you explode. it's all about knowing what the line is, if you hit 100% exactly you can quell down

don't use surge over like 75-80% unless you have mega high peril resist

[deft valley]

thanks that's what I was figuring but needed verification on it

[frigid pond]

yeah surge you wanna practice with and learn the kill threshold

[boreal wave]

Dunno about that. I still think doors opening to spit out enemies are too quiet. Not sure if they even have a sound

[frigid pond]

BB for an example you can use up to like, 96% peril

[cyan notch]

surge is the only wonky one that makes you explode idk if thats intended

[frigid pond]

its cuz surge jumps a lot i think on cast

[tacit fractal]

Aatrox Mk V Combat Axe, Force Sword, iirc it was Mk IV Dueling sword? Then Recon lasgun if you want to go Gun Psyker, Purgatus Staff for horde murdering, Surge for crowd control and Void for either straight line or chokehold horde killing all are good

[deep rivet]

sometimes surge is a bit weird i think it's just how it works, it's accidentally exploded me more than any other staff (basically none have sploded me)

if i run peril resist per warp stack i can usually get away with high peril surge casts

[tacit fractal]

@deep rivet I thought your pfp was Tyler the Creator lmao

[deft valley]

I know starting out bb you have 2 shots b4 quell with t2 equipment and 1 shot with fresh start

[tropic halo]

well in principle it's supposed to be that way... principle-ally. fuckin fatshark

[frigid pond]

BB doesnt change

[tropic halo]

surge gang represent.

killing ourselves since the closed beta

[gray island]

the auto explode on surge is great for that penance

[boreal wave]

Yeah I like surge

[deep rivet]

i use surge and purg a LOT. but surge is just plain fun to use and then go axe-swinging

[boreal wave]

Love watching box bursters gmod ragdoll into a corner at the lightning

[deep rivet]

i like to stun crushers and then bonk them on the head with my axe

[deft valley]

Meant more so the mental charge gain imo

[gray island]

purge has been a bit of a let down for me

[tacit fractal]

Surge and Purgatus are amazing but mostly gets kind of overshadowed by Voidstrike? Which does suck

[frigid pond]

you get 3 BB shots before you run the risk of popping

if nothing else is cast and this is assuming its left click BB

[deep rivet]

i've had more success with purg the less i use it in a run if that makes sense. like 'less is more'. i whip it out, spray a horde and then go swinging while they burn

[tacit fractal]

Rmb BB sucks ass

[frigid pond]

yeah its pretty bad

[deep rivet]

rmb bb is useful sometimes but usually just when a special is around a corner from you

otherwise i never use it

[frigid pond]

pretty much, its rarely used

[deft valley]

That makes sense, I've gotten to the point I try to avoid bb unless necessary or accidentally select it

[gray island]

used RMB for the dog penance and never touched it again lmao

[deep rivet]

easier to lock on and duck for cover

[fresh vessel]

What are the besst curios for a psyker?

[boreal wave]

Void does way more damage but the cc of surge is pretty invaluable and we already have classes that do way more damage than we do

[tacit fractal]

Almost double the time of lmb and it doesn’t have the grip like lmb

[frigid pond]

and more peril :(

[tacit fractal]

AND THAT

[gray island]

Wounds, Toughness, Health

[olive ember]

oh boy just got thrown into a malice with two level 7's guess I get to see if I can hard carry on my lvl 20 zealot

[frigid pond]

isnt matchmatching level based?

or at least it kinda tries to be

[deep rivet]

if it cost the same as LMB i would argue a case to use it more

[deft valley]

Rmb is a constant charge

[tacit fractal]

That shouldn’t matter? Depends on if they have the skills cause like I’ve slapped ass as lvl 6 Vet, Ogryn, Psyker and Zealot

[gray island]

[mellow smelt]

when it comes to periling the special ability saves me from perils when i go a little to hard with the surge staff more often then i'd like to admit

[deep rivet]

yea i meant like the initial charge, i think it costs more to fully charge rmb and THEN more to keep it going

[deft valley]

Personally I'd go with the left

[mellow smelt]

i dont really peril with the other staves

[olive ember]

mm yes but most of the low levels you encounter are fresh out of uprising

[deep rivet]

and if you fuck up the right click you lose the charge

[tacit fractal]

Ik lol

[gray island]

i like the surge too. the DOT of the pruge is weird on anything less than T4

[bright cipher]

BB also sucks because unlike staves, you can roll an 80% peril res on it lol

[deep rivet]

unless i have the lvl 30 bb talent i only use it to get a charge/toughness now and then (if EH) or to snipe a special from across the map that just spawned during objective time

[mellow smelt]

eh on a random pub i would prefer void or purg but if im playing with friends then yeah surge is probably the best with a coordinated team

[tacit fractal]

I’m suprised how little amount of cataclysm vt2 players there are in Darktide

[deep rivet]

surge is pretty good with randoms, you can stunlock specials until they decide to shoot it for you

i do it with poxbursters a lot (they usually don't shoot them in low tier)

[gray island]

LOVE banishing poxbursts with surge its so satifying making backstep 20 times

[mellow smelt]

fair, i just dont like how the surge staff feels

maybe because im to used to void

[tacit fractal]

Yes you are lol

[gray island]

void for dmg, surge for CC

2 dif playstyles

[deep rivet]

the staves are different enough that i enjoy how different they play

[mellow smelt]

it also doesn't help i can't get a good roll on surge

[tacit fractal]

I feel frustrated nowadays with void because how useful Surge and Purgatus are compared to it

[mellow smelt]

purg is stupid fun, i love it

[deep rivet]

void is good to run if your group already has cc pretty much

[deft valley]

Sad part I didn't even realize it was two different class staffs smh

[mild lotus]

Meanwhile you can just pull out your melee and push it when it jumps

Bonus pts for style

[gray island]

less entertaining to watch tho

[deep rivet]

wonder if they'll make more staves. like a laser beam.

[mild lotus]

Void kinda already is

[gray island]

Rail gun staff thanks

[mellow smelt]

aside from force sword what melees do you guys like

[leaden needle]

dueling sword 5 and combat axe 5

[deft valley]

I'm hoping new class like a techmancer

[mild lotus]

None, force sword rules

[deep rivet]

axe is a lot of fun but it's hard to give up deflector FS

[tacit fractal]

All the staves except Trauma are great, you will hear this from most other Psykers except there’s going to always be that one dude who goes like ”Umm, ACHSHually…” and so forth lmao

[mellow smelt]

i mean obviously i normally use force sword but i also like the dueling sword myself

[tacit fractal]

What?

This ain’t Borderlands 2

[deft valley]

True

[deep rivet]

i think he means techpriest

[tacit fractal]

Hah, no

[leaden needle]

do techpriests ever battle?

[mellow smelt]

yes they do

[nocturne current]

I like playing as a Lightning Psyker personally

[deft valley]

Yeah the tech priest sorry use to calling them a tech mancer

[tacit fractal]

A lot of them yes and they’re terrifying, most even in diplomatic missions have a cognitive power axe on them like Belisarious Cawl

[tacit fractal]

Why?

[hot garnet]

same even at T4 & T5

[mellow smelt]

but no, a tech priest would be even less likely to have the opportunity in the game because they would pretty much instantly be turned into a servitor

[gray island]

Hmmm

the brittle with purge seesm busted

[tacit fractal]

Wdym? Bout the servitor thing

[bright cipher]

bad axe

antax is what u want

[leaden needle]

https://i.imgur.com/MM5XeSq.png damn 378 base has anyone seen higher than this?

[hot garnet]

ive seen a 386 before

[gray island]

Slam it

[tacit fractal]

That’s 398

[hot garnet]

not base

[deep rivet]

look below that number

[tacit fractal]

Ah

[leaden needle]

sheesh

[deft valley]

First mention of the tech mancer (correct me if I'm wrong) was borderlands and yes it kinda stuck with me but in dartide I thought I heard them being called mancer not priest but it makes sense now

[hot garnet]

wasnt on anything useful sadly it was on a dumb lasgun while i was on psyker T_T

[leaden needle]

the 4 assasins from that assasin school would be cool but not sure how the anti psycher would work

[gray island]

god i wish the universal weapons were transferable...

[deep rivet]

techpriests are a whole thing, can't begin to imagine one being arrested without just self-terminating, getting straight up killed or immediately turned into a servitor. but playing as one would be cool.

[slow raven]

wait until somebody figures out the most meta psyker build uses a lasgun and we'll all regret ignoring it the 50% of the time it shows up in the store

[hot garnet]

maybe in 5 years when fat shart announce darktide 2 they'll release an update that allows us to

[gray island]

gonna have to hold it until then i guess

[leaden needle]

maybe if they changed warp charges to increase all damage and not only warp attacks

[mellow crescent]

culexus powers are pretty much just a different flavour of psychic powers

I think the bigger problem is figuring out where to put the callidus assassin

[deep rivet]

one of the early builds i saw was a gun psyker that just relied on passive 10% BB on attack feat and passive warp charge gen/kinetic overload i think

[tacit fractal]

There has never been a moment that someone calls tech-priests tech mancers, just priests of Mars, tech-priests, Cultist Mechanicum of Mar. Community calls them also technophiliacs and space IT monks because that is actually accurate

[deep rivet]

but idk if it was ass, probably was ok in t3

[leaden needle]

yeah i guess it could be a sort of scout class blending in with the enemy

[gray island]

Ayo should i send this?

[deft valley]

I blame borderlands for that term lol

[mellow crescent]

No, I meant like this:
veteran - vindicare
zealot - ?
psyker - culexus
ogryn - eversor?

[tacit fractal]

I really doubt we’ll get a class from the Officio Assassinorum

[deep rivet]

unsure if they'll add another playable class or go right into sub-classes

[mellow crescent]

I agree.
But I really really want a null psyker class.

[tacit fractal]

Blank would be cool

[slow raven]

if only, would open up so many builds

[mellow crescent]

Have you guys gotten the offico voiceline yet?

[fresh vessel]

So I guess I'd wanna run a wound and two health curios when I reach high levels? Or would more toughness work out better.

[tacit fractal]

Classes are like Sharpshooter, Skullbreaker, Preacher and Psykinetic. Archetypes are Psyker, Zealot, Ogryn and Veteran as said by Fatshark

[slow raven]

ya i think i saw that one too, sounded interesting but i never got around to trying it. the staves are too good and i can always play my level 3 vet if i wanna use a gun

[tacit fractal]

Wound, health, toughness is the way to go

[compact cargo]

wounds are a bit pointless and lead to spirals

[tacit fractal]

No?

They can save you from a sudden sniper shot instead of just disintigrating into dust

[compact cargo]

Why would you pick 1 wound over 20% more hp or toughness

[compact cargo]

Will still take all toughness and about 20% of ur hp

[split elm]

it's so friggin painful to get these rolls on weapons that I'll never use

[deep rivet]

oh makes sense. hopefully we'll see something soon about what can be added there

[deft valley]

Sub class to fill weapon specific style would be cool

[fresh vessel]

I think the big issue coming from ogryn and vet at max is; why the hell does this class have minimal health AND toughness.

That's a cruel damn joke.

[compact cargo]

coz we got the most op toughness regen in the game

[deep rivet]

doesnt vet have the most base toughness

[fresh vessel]

Yeah

Only one with more than 100

[slow raven]

how much health and toughness do the other classes get anyway. i always feel like im made out of tissue paper compared to them, just watching ogryns eat 5x as many melee hits as it would take to down me

[tacit fractal]

Subclass would be something going from Psyker Psykinetic into Psyker Psykinetic and an additional name to the bunch, Psykinetic is the class we are currently only available to play from the Psyker archetype

[sterile lake]

So far I love Voidstrike the most, but never played on difficulty 4 or 5 with the psyker yet

[deft valley]

Yeah ogryn is only destroyed if Noone around to fill toughness and they get swarmed

[olive ember]

I remember zealot or ogryn had 150 toughness in the Closed Beta

[hot garnet]

i love seeing people complain about their toughness while also never dodging

[bright cipher]

get at least 1 wound curio absolutely, as having none will quickly put u into casualty range with almost any amount of corruption taken

[fresh vessel]

Ogryn: 300 health,100 tough
Vert: 150 health, 200 tough
Zealot: 200 health, 100 tough

[compact cargo]

Psyker getting 30% toughness from ally melee kill go brrr

[deep rivet]

i just peril block

[sterile lake]

Hey mate, nice to see you here

[slow raven]

wow 300 health, i didnt know it was actually that much more

[compact cargo]

More hp mitigated corruption better than wounds.

[deep rivet]

all our power is in our brains

[deft valley]

I meant like the between the different staffs or if players use guns a sub for that

[fresh vessel]

You can't work out at a library

[bright cipher]

lmao

[slow raven]

imagine adding 2 20% health curios to 300 health

[fresh vessel]

I have three on my ogryn.

[compact cargo]

Got 292 hp on zealot, don't need wounds

[tacit fractal]

We use staves mostly but some do play gun psyker which is a valid option

[fresh vessel]

I also have toughness on combo and cleave on my cleaver.

[bright cipher]

imo ideally for psyker u run 1 wound, 2 toughness, toughness dmg res, sniper res and gunner res

makes it so u dont get hp chipped by ranged

and dont have to worry about corruption

[deep rivet]

sad, got a trauma staff with rending shockwave on it

[compact cargo]

I still don't understand gunner res, just take cover

[tacit fractal]

[compact cargo]

Just take ability or more toughness on top

[tacit fractal]

That one I have to agree with you sibling

[hot garnet]

wdym just face tank the damage.. obviously

[tacit fractal]

I mean, yeah

You’re a psyker

[uneven sparrow]

Sit with the guilt

[compact cargo]

and wounds, are still inferior to more hp

[hot garnet]

its what all the people ive been playing with seem to do. oh a gunner/reaper... yeah let me just try to walk to him in a straight line

[bright cipher]

its the only type of dmg that can actually surprise you right

[deft valley]

Yeah if they did subs like that it'll only be like 4 different sub classes one for each stave and one for gun use, unless you wanted to get to the grit of different gun builds

[bright cipher]

so why not make sure even if u get tagged u dont lose hp

[compact cargo]

Unless u can 1 shot the reaper like a zealot, don't walk out of cover

[bright cipher]

after all ur hp is the most important resource

[compact cargo]

Each gunner bullet deals 8 damage on damnation, bit less to psykers with the perk

[deep rivet]

why the fuck can only trauma get rending shockwave, sounds like it'd be great on the other staves

[bright cipher]

youre taking the perk over peril block

[deep rivet]

i just looked up the blessings on the site

[bright cipher]

which is by far the best perk in its tier

allowing u to tank bosses and infinitely push shove hordes

[deep rivet]

fatshark trying to make trauma wanted

[compact cargo]

Peril block only makes sense if u pick force sword...

[olive ember]

man ik people complain about people who rush but honestly I expected 3 lvl 30's to not play like snails

[compact cargo]

Why take that when u can grab axe

[deep rivet]

you can peril block with the axe tho

which makes it the best

[compact cargo]

Yeah but there's no point

[deep rivet]

yes there is

[slow raven]

dont you run out of stamina pretty quick

[bright cipher]

it makes less sense if u take FS

[deep rivet]

it's to block the attack and then push attack for free damage

[compact cargo]

Deflector, free res under gun fire

[tacit fractal]

I’ve seen 7 different people here say differ

[deep rivet]

normal weapons passive quell faster than FS

so it's even better with peril block

[bright cipher]

thats a lose more build imo instead of a win more

i run axe/surge on damnation reliably without people getting downed

[tacit fractal]

Which does work amazingly

[compact cargo]

Doesn't make resing under fire any worse.
@bright cipher peril block is pointless because for psyker any moment ur not using the staff, ur loosing dps or cc.

[bright cipher]

as much as id love for the FS to be the best melee choice since it fits thematically it simply doesnt

[deft valley]

They may be trying to be a eternal turtle lol

[bright cipher]

well now thats just plain wrong what you said now cmon

[mellow crescent]

Ogryn asks why the assassins aren't helping out since they're very good at killing stuff, dreamer psyker answers that his Beloved says that the assassins don't listen to him anymore, veteran says that it's the callidus you have to look out for since they could be anyone.

Personally I thought that the assassins were supposed to be secret

[bright cipher]

youre constantly weaving staff and melee

300 apm gaming

[tacit fractal]

I’m very confused about that statement

[bright cipher]

psyker is a close range cc chad

[mellow crescent]

Regarding the assassin voicelines.

[bright cipher]

realistically, while surge is the best for ccing specials and elites, its pointsless against hordes when you can just hunker down with axe shove and let ur team breathe

[compact cargo]

Plain wrong? If you are not using voidstrike on a horde, ur loosing dps, if ur not ccing elites, ur loosing utility, vent up time is so low that the only reason to pull melee is if ur running surge and there's nothing to cc

[bright cipher]

surging hordes is wasteful

[deep rivet]

i bet you're the psyker who raises peril to 90% and then just sits behind a box quelling while your team fights the horde

[bright cipher]

VOIDSTRIKE

alright im glad we figured out the issue

voidstrike is what u use when youre new an naive and having clueless fun

[deft valley]

I've been laughing at some of the convos between the psyker and the other classes

[bright cipher]

surge is what u use on damnation to make ur team feel like theyre playing on malice

[gray island]

surge is for the SERIOUS fun

[hot garnet]

surge is great :3

[gray island]

Real gamer fun is Surge Staff

[tacit fractal]

Voidstrike’s good but Surge does help more in damnation (and more fun)

[keen pawn]

Good looking gear the earned stuff

[deep rivet]

sorry i only use trauma staff, get interrupted by a dreg up my ass while trying to charge, and then get downed because i was trying to re-charge my trauma rmb

[livid wraith]

if void pierced/staggered bulwark I would use it.

[hot garnet]

surge psykers
other psykers

[bright cipher]

you use voidstrike up to malice then u finally move on to heresy and start huffing copium telling urself youre still the dps beast that you think you are

then if youre smart you pick up a surge and become a team beast

[tacit fractal]

Purgatus is cool too wouldn’t you agree?

[deft valley]

https://tenor.com/view/no-emperor-palpatine-gif-13110787

[bright cipher]

cool?

yes

[hot garnet]

cosplaying as palpatine is way cooler

[tacit fractal]

Had a blast with purgatus in heresy

[bright cipher]

lets not forget surge lets u cc enemies in cover and also hit enemies FROM cover

[hot garnet]

if you want to burn people go play zealot

[slow raven]

if i use purge i get a team with 2 flamethrower zealots, if i use surge i get a team with no horde clear

[livid wraith]

purgatus is just a much shittier version of zealot flamethrower. oH LoOk gUyS, i DoNt uSe AmMo

[tacit fractal]

But I like warp fuckery flames and Zealot feels boring

[deep rivet]

purg is best when you're running all the soulflame feats, then the whole screen dies

[tacit fractal]

Ehh

[deft valley]

I agree though surge is Hella fun as long as you don't self destruct lol

[tacit fractal]

2nd row soulblaze sucks

[hot garnet]

why would you self destruct

[deep rivet]

i ping pong bounce between surge/purg mostly though

[gray island]

always self des. just run 3 wound

[deep rivet]

depends on what i feel like, if i use purg tho i'm basically always using my axe anyways

[gray island]

easier free healing
