psyker-class

[ornate hamlet]

Micromanagement, and watching your toughness and health with proper evasion and avoiding of large group chip damage. Alot of this isn't necessary on other classes.

[soft prawn]

lightning staves feel so much weaker than flame staves

[ornate hamlet]

bro just said living isn't necessary on other classes

[burnt python]

if you are interested in pushing to damnation try mk v axe, it's very safe and kills very efficiently

[ornate hamlet]

Ogryns constantly regenerate and negate damage by running a bleed build, zealots become near immortal with bleed, and veterans? Cc and ranged damage brainlets

[zinc phoenix]

Staggering pox walkers isn’t nearly as useful as being able to push attack through a block without spending your blocking resource. Ragers are a huge threat and force sword doesn’t do jack for them

[ornate hamlet]

Lightning staff has a longer CC and does slightly more alpha dmg.

[burnt python]

also push attack spam infinitely staggers ragers lmao

while killing em

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah bleedgryn with shield isn’t possible to kill on heresy or below absent super bad positioning

[tight saddle]

that was nowhere near what people did on Psyker before nerfs lol. The whole "skill" things was being able to continue to BB while sliding and dodging all enemies around while keeping a constant stream of BBs going out. It was OP in a good player's hands, but average players sucked ass at doing it.

[soft prawn]

Flame staff continuous charged attack can stun just as well with the DOT stacking, lightning just feels useless

[robust meteor]

you're not using surge staff effectively me thinks

[trail thistle]

^

[zinc phoenix]

The only difference is stunning bulwark/crusher. Also the surge stuns faster but way fewer targets

[stark junco]

I also struggle to use surge staff effectively. What's the secret? Purgatos clears hordes so much easier for me

[ornate hamlet]

How do these two blessings work?

[soft prawn]

the only really cool thing about it is stopping the poppers from exploding ig

[robust meteor]

my highest success rate for missions is def with surge staff

[runic gate]

wish it was MK v tho.

[zinc phoenix]

The secret is having a team that carries you with damage

[burnt python]

surge is not a horde clearing staff, use melee for that

surge for scary guys that need to stop rn

[low onyx]

surge is good if your team sucks

[trail thistle]

this guy 🙂

[boreal sun]

Force sword special one taps

[ornate hamlet]

My highest success rate is with purgatus. The amount of thankful teammates? With purgatus. The amount of operatives saying look at the witch go! With purgatus

There's really no "wrong" way to play a psyker.

[robust meteor]

its satisfying to electricute mutants to where they stop right in front of you for easy headshots

[silver root]

you can spam surge but in some situations u should be selective about who you are stunning

[stark junco]

I found the opposite, when my team sucks we get overwhlemed by hordes, when it's good the stun is useful for them. But I guess I should just be switching to melee for the horde

[tight saddle]

@stark junco this is one one small example of the many things a surge psyker needs to pay attention to. Spamming surge staff randomly is what makes people think surge staff sucks.

[ornate hamlet]

It's all about your playstyle and what works best for you.

Meta is simply what "a lot of people find easy"

[stark junco]

Are you stopping the elites with alt on surge?

[zinc phoenix]

Great, you have three ragers on you and your F is on cooldown. How fast can you get the special on all three?

[low onyx]

You mean staff bonk?

[ornate hamlet]

Staff bonk very fun

[stark junco]

Nah the charge up attack

that stuns

[ornate hamlet]

No no mr rager you cannot touch me

[silver root]

was thinking of creating a Ogryn named Bonk

[low onyx]

That is infact what it does

[boreal sun]

relatively fast

[soft prawn]

how do you effectively use it? these are the two staves I'm using to compare

i just dont see why you'd ever go lightning over flame

[zinc phoenix]

Liar 😂 you know I use a force sword why would you lie

[low onyx]

lightning is support

if you have a zealot with a flamer you dont need to double up

[stark junco]

What melee weapon do you choose when using surge staff?

[trail thistle]

because when u use surge right no enemy will ever dmg ur team.

[ornate hamlet]

You have shit rolls for your purgatus my guy

[boreal sun]

Look, it will be ok when we get 2 handed force sword

[zinc phoenix]

Mark 5 axe for the push attack or force sword for the deflection trait

[runic gate]

if you have wave clear, but your teams getting bursted, charged, and dogged.

[soft prawn]

it has been serving well, haven't gotten lucky with anything else yet unfortunately. hopefully we get the other upgrading mechanics soon

[boreal sun]

Void strike is preferable over flame

[runic gate]

Mk 5 slaps most everything you should melee in damnation with 1,2, maybe 3 hits.

[ornate hamlet]

Burn, cloud radius, and quell. All vital look for these.

[stark junco]

I'll have to try the MK 5. I haven't ever used an axe yet. lol

[valid marsh]

Sometimes I wonder what Melk is even there for

[stark junco]

Of course shop has 0 axes and 0 staves for sale currently. Love RNG shop

[trail thistle]

purgatory you need to charge. it takes time, also to quell. Surge both is pretty none existant. u dont charge, u go poof poof. quell barely needed. U dont loose a sec stunning anyone by charging or quelling.

[ornate hamlet]

Void strike falls off heavily on damnation and heresy.

[valid marsh]

when I'm more likely to get a god roll transcendant weapon from emperor's gifts

[ornate hamlet]

Against trash mobs it's good. Against anything else gl bucko

[valid marsh]

than anything he offers

[stark junco]

So you don't charge the surge?

[boreal sun]

Void strike doesn't have a gimped left click

[stark junco]

It's full stun out of the gate?

[trail thistle]

never charge the surge 🙂

[ornate hamlet]

Half charge and drop don't charge fully

[runic gate]

try it, you will see.

[valid marsh]

Also yeah the surge basically doesn't need charge at all

[burnt python]

axe vs ragers

[stark junco]

Well no wonder I think it sucks so bad LOL

[valid marsh]

its kind of fucked since it just stuns everything that can flinch

[runic gate]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-hustle-gif-23488634

[subtle token]

[zinc phoenix]

Void does a lot of stagger but it’s straight line. It also absolutely annihilates hordes in a straight line

[runic gate]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-hustle-axe-gang-axe-gang-dance-brother-sum-gif-25566455

[stark junco]

Thanks for the advice, will try it out when RNG shop sucks less

[boreal sun]

Void has the benefit of range, flame does not.

[ornate hamlet]

True af. But again limited by positioning which won't always bless you

[cyan notch]

(impossible)

[supple skiff]

store drought continues lol

[ornate hamlet]

Actually a very good void nice

[boreal sun]

Also, void quel on crit + soul flame

[valid marsh]

[trail thistle]

I like void a lot. but still use surge because it benefits the team so insanely ... Its hard to justify using anything else >.<

But void feels nice tho 🙂

[valid marsh]

This is the only thing that melk is useful for and it only gives trash

[robust meteor]

surge forces you to play a supporty role during hordes/events. However you are also able to push the map by disabling ranged. playstyle changes to surge would be making sure you have a good position to cover your teammates. While you're sitting in your cushy spot charging up/ quelling, check the entrances/ ledges. make it an obsession to always know whats going on around your teammates. you're whats going to keep the team alive since you'll be lacking damage

[night marten]

it's a trap, don't do it

[ornate hamlet]

If they're competent and actually kill who you stunned*

[elder rivet]

is it possible to hit weakspot with purge staff ?

[valid marsh]

yes

I don't think it has a multiplier

but yes

[elder rivet]

ok so it's useless

[valid marsh]

not true

there are weakpoint blessings and perks

[burnt python]

can purge access any wp blessings?

[uneven sparrow]

Free data from my rolls:

First gun from this was purple
First melee was blue
First curio was orange
Second curio was blue

[night marten]

colors dont matter, all about the base stats, then blessings, and maybe perks

[valid marsh]

stats do

[zinc phoenix]

Which is why I take purgatus for pugs because they stand in dumb spots so I need the 360 nope stick. But with better positioning void is unquestionably superior

[uneven sparrow]

I keep forgetting this

[sick veldt]

Colors don't matter only the modifier number

[ornate hamlet]

True

[sick veldt]

Even perks only matter a little until they finish the crafting system lol

[valid marsh]

I wish the shop would have a random roll of every weapon available

[cinder obsidian]

Man, while psykers might technically have melee options, it doesn't really feel like it since everything except the force sword feels like a lost opportunity

[valid marsh]

The axes are extremely good

[soft prawn]

i haven't seen a single good force sword

[shadow quail]

what is the highest a base weapon can be?

[soft prawn]

🥹

[valid marsh]

380 from what I can tell

[trail tapir]

Deflector is too good to remain a perk

[shadow quail]

tyvm

[trail tapir]

No other melee weapon can objectively compare

[cinder obsidian]

I thought weapons could be up to 400 theoretically

[cinder obsidian]

not even counting deflector

Haven't seen anything above 380 at base without perks.blessings

Honestly, the only thing I want from crafting is a way to 'refine' the base stats of a weapon

[teal cargo]

but yikes

[shadow quail]

Literally 0 force weapons in the shop for me 😆

[trail thistle]

ye well... if only I could buy it 😄

[teal cargo]

I want to be able to craft specific weapons

not this nonsense of check every hour

[cinder obsidian]

so if you don't get a good stat roll, you can at least grind to make a decent one perfect

[teal cargo]

or all you see are guns and catachan swords

[pure rapids]

don't even bother trying lol

it sucks so bad

[teal cargo]

How bout not even getting the base you want?

[pure rapids]

imagine grinding your ass off for pittance of an increase in player power

[spare niche]

im just memeing dont mind me

[lethal plover]

things it can do that voidstrike can't: knock down the wall of crushers, bulwarks and maulers
easily tracks and stop dogs in their track
push back pox bursters around the corner
and more

even with bugged damage (way lower than it should be), the control potential is there for trauma

[burnt python]

someone to have my back finally

i was all alone in here

[lethal plover]

these use cases can only be discovered in practice

the fact that it controls dogs is very good for me

if they fix the bugged damage it will actually kill crushers

[burnt python]

using mk 12 las rn, its better than i want it to be

allows you to delete gunner trash and be super versatile

[spare niche]

surge can:

• Stuns bulwarks and maulers exposing weak spots for other classes
• knock backs Pox Bursters
• stuns doggo
• CC random enemies
• makes u feel like palpatine

🌩️

[teal cargo]

Unlimited power!

[cyan notch]

cc random enemies

[frigid pond]

My main issue with trauma is its kinda too expensive

[burnt python]

in game will explain some benefits in a moment

[spare niche]

well i wish i could tell it what to CC LOL

i mainly only use it to stun elites and just kite with FS the hordes with other classes

[lethal plover]

I run it with quietitude. it helps me regen toughness
but more importantly, I don't need to spam it every second. it's only there to knock down the toughest bits

[valid marsh]

Do you guys think limbsplitter is a good perk?

[lethal plover]

I don't think even vet grenades can control crushers the way trauma can

[valid marsh]

Trauma needs a bigger epicentre radius

thats all really

its kill radius is simply too small

[frigid pond]

I just kinda find it clunky to use, but that’s probably from not using it enough/practice

[valid marsh]

2.5 meters at max

[burnt python]

misunderstood you

[frigid pond]

But I definitely dont think its bad

Just not my cup of tea

[south monolith]

It was the best staff in the closed beta

[rose folio]

quad psyker damnation run. just had 3 lightning staffs and a voidstrike

[south monolith]

Winner by default

[rose folio]

Didn't last long

[lethal plover]

this is how to kill dog with trauma

aim behind dog to launch it to you

[spare niche]

TOO MUCH SKILL

[uneven sparrow]

Let us pick enemies up like a Jedi and force throw them Fatshark

Do it

[lethal plover]

this is how to kill bulwark

damn

[sturdy cypress]

yeah on damnation i can surge a dog then animation cancel weapon swap to force sword charge it into a slide to light attack 1 shot the dog all while its stunned. This is repeatable on any special/elite in the game

[uneven sparrow]

Back smack

[lethal plover]

the only thing trauma can't control would be the mutants

that surge is still king for

but crusher and bulwark knockdown is sweet

[robust meteor]

are you sure it works on mutants?

[lethal plover]

works on both dog and mutant

[sturdy cypress]

i cant 1 shot the mutant on damnation and only have enough time to do a light. So my work around is to stun a mutant and if i have time ill just brain burst while dodging its attack as its too risky to go into melee and not 1 shot it as it just grabs you

If i know my team will add some dmg to it then i go in for the quick melee kill

[lethal plover]

so trauma does control like surge, and clear horde like void, not in the same fashion of course, but it has uses, due to its knockdowns

[runic gate]

Stand next to teammate, dodge and let them take the hit, then BB away.

[ornate hamlet]

WTH is this?

[robust meteor]

seems mutants are the only ones that might be an exception. i've been trying that combo with surge/sword and not getting great results

[runic gate]

You need 80-100% charge to stun mutants in damnation.

[ornate hamlet]

It can knock a crusher on his back.

[lethal plover]

surge mutant, make sure you're close enough, chop with axe, dodge to side and chop its back with 2nd trike

[sturdy cypress]

tagging mutant and adding a quick surge stun to makes him reset his charge animation so total time stunned is like 3-4 seconds really handy

[trail tapir]

The biggest problem trauma has is efficiency, it's pretty slow to charge and generates high peril

[lethal plover]

yep. but knocking bulwarks is the biggest perk

[burnt python]

charges plenty fast and quick charges still knock most things, 1/2 charge for ogryns

[ornate hamlet]

Crushers have the greatest overall stagger resistance. So if it can knock a crusher, it'll knock a bulwark.

[robust meteor]

ya know the old saying, if you can dodge a wrench

[lethal plover]

ironically the great peril with quiet feat means great toughness regen
and I find that I only need it for the toughest moments with big clumps, not every second

[sturdy cypress]

once you have a 80% dmg force sword with some nice perks it should hit hard

[main jay]

2800 melk coins... whatcha think

[robust meteor]

how about this one :p

[ornate hamlet]

Come, regale us with your opinions and infer them as factual.

[main jay]

[trail tapir]

Yeah but on the flip side purge or surge is running a CC uptime of close to 100%, neither really needs to save itself for later

[uneven sparrow]

Force renaissance

[trail tapir]

I'm not even mentioning voidstrike which can come out to be damn near peril neutral with decent rolls and good aim

I mean, warp resistance is dispensable right ? 👀

[lethal plover]

voidstrike peril is currently bugged, there's that
also trauma damage is currently bugged

[onyx oracle]

Question: Surge Staffs are great crowd control but seem to be very lacking in DPS. What is a good staff for Malice and more important for Heresy?

[ornate hamlet]

You didn't say it wasn't.

Drop and give me 20

[robust meteor]

malice doesn't seem to need a strong horde clearing staff. i'd stay on surge on malice

[frigid pond]

Surge lol, the cc is good, but seriously it depends on comp

[lethal plover]

I didn't even realize this use case for trauma until I encountered it

[sturdy cypress]

with my good surge staff on malice i just hold W through the whole mission its dmg isnt that bad. If you want horde dmg for heresy go void or purg but surge is still king

[ornate hamlet]

This one. Try to keep up

[trail tapir]

Surge is good for the CC alone, plus damage to armored enemies is still relatively high.

Just don't waste lightning on dregs, that's what the sword is for

[burnt python]

can clear gunners thru cover similarly

[trail tapir]

Purgatus and voidstrike are both good too

[ornate hamlet]

Or do I need to point at every message you write and hold your hand for keeping up conversational context?

[onyx oracle]

What about Heresy? Thanks!

[pure rapids]

surge purg and void are good

just depends on what your team needs

[onyx oracle]

Thanks!

[lethal plover]

I have no good way of confirming it, but the idea is the same. the push from trauma can protect people

[robust meteor]

theres a bigger need for horde clearing on heresy, so you just have to figure out what your comp needs (cc or damage)

[ornate hamlet]

Aight I'll hold your hand more carefully

[frail spire]

What variant do u guys think is the best for the dueling sword?

[uneven sparrow]

Don’t you just love when you’re going hard with purge and the team surrounds you to create the 4man cone and you do force push and he does the “aughuehueueueuehhuehue” laugh

[onyx oracle]

hahahaha great sadly needto farm them. Psyker man the staffs do not spawn in the store.... All just guns!

[uneven sparrow]

[pure rapids]

[lethal plover]

I await when they fix the bugs with voidstrike peril and trauma damage
perhaps people will start to try out trauma more

[pure rapids]

not having staves cause the store wants you to be a shittier Veteran

[lethal plover]

it's like a compromise between horde clear and control

[burnt python]

[sturdy cypress]

Whats you guys opinion on best 2 blessings on a Void ?

[trail tapir]

After testing them all out a little I decided I like II the least and IV the most

[sturdy cypress]

Surge -2 shots on crit paired with Warp nexus 20% extra crit at high perils could be BIS?

[trail tapir]

DS IV I think is the single most predictable melee weapon in game - light is always a diagonal slash and heavy is always a stab

[burnt python]

it's not supposed to be the same as trauma, 80% resist trauma is 20%, 80% void is su pposed to be ~12.5%

currently 5

[twin yacht]

Is there any reason to not use a staff as psyker

who would think I am starting to like trauma lol

you'd be net neutral on warp charges on any killing blows

Imagine if RMB gave you warp charges via charging it, then LMB could instantly BB spending a warp charge. IMO that would make BB viable past malice

[sleek herald]

instas wouldn't give you charges, only the channeled ones

[lethal plover]

nah, people just need to actually play damnation to know what BB is for

killing backline specials
bombers snipers and trappers and dreg gunmen

[sleek herald]

instas just to burst these ogryns asap

[lethal plover]

those are what kill you in t5

one single bomber can deny AoE and split your entire team

[sturdy cypress]

Other then getting a scab bomber or sniper can you explain? Ive played 200 hours and plenty of 4-5 and its not viable

[lethal plover]

Other then
you can't "other than" its entire point
deleting backline specials

BB is for backline

[crimson pond]

Is everyone trying to do the challenge called Pick n’ Mix ?

[burnt python]

there's a lot of gunners, bombers, snipers, & shotgunners on damnation

[lethal plover]

that's why it's given infinite range, no aim, and tracks behind covers

that's meant for the backline

[worthy wasp]

The real buff to BB imo would be to improve its targetting

[sturdy cypress]

unless you have good cover GL standing insight of a dreg gunner doing a slow BB when you could almost insta stun it with surge

[crimson pond]

All I see are psykers lol , I mean I am as well but hot damm

[lethal plover]

unless you have good cover
You always strive to gain good positioning, whether it's for melee and range
Once you have cover you can BB peek. If you don't have cover, spam suppression to shut up ranged enemies, with left click staff. suppression is important in damnation.

[lucid mortar]

What if they put BB on a cooldown but made it always one-shot elites

they'd have to rework a lot though

[ornate hamlet]

sucks fighting bosses

[pure rapids]

it does have a cool down now

it's you quelling peril

[crimson pond]

Yeah the challenge as well

[lethal plover]

by far though when everything is so desperate, I use my ult, with level 30 feat, I can pop 3 dreg gunmen whaling on the team

[sturdy cypress]

Idk something tells me you havnt played alot of 4-5s if your feeling like your BB is viable and effective. Veterans do the job well, BB just doesnt cut the mustard and needs some sorta buff

[boreal crystal]

think this is worth buying? especially compared to the range ddamage to elites on my existing one. It's a slight increase in the relevant stats sure... (dumping crit bonus)

[ornate hamlet]

You're really better off firing pot shots off with a staff that has a projectile and aiming for the head.

[lethal plover]

you really think damnation is special huh? like only you play it

[pure rapids]

there's no increase in stats it's just re-distributed lol

[boreal crystal]

yes

but crit damage isn't important here

[lucid mortar]

Maybe the answer is just better blessings to make BB one-shot in damnation

[robust meteor]

bb is pretty useful considering with some of the staves, you're standing in a defensive position

its better than standing there doing nothing

[worthy wasp]

Ye, lets make a skill with infinite uses and no los requirement 1 shot everything. Thats true balance

[lucid mortar]

but put the BB buff blessing on guns and watch everyone mald lol

[robust meteor]

if your team has the horde under control without your staff

bb IS useful

[south zephyr]

worth buying?

[charred galleon]

Hey, please use the "opinion" tag when stating an opinion in this server.

[ornate hamlet]

I wouldn't.

[soft prawn]

are these swords any good?

[lethal plover]

suppression is also useful and I don't see people use it more often
you don't even need to aim

[south zephyr]

WR too low?

[ornate hamlet]

Was following your lead and assuming everyone knows what I say is an opinion.

[magic gull]

grey iteam you prob need to be 360+ base to buy

for future crafting use

[charred galleon]

sorry, have no way of telling at all without explicit tags

[ornate hamlet]

I believe so.

[boreal crystal]

what tags lol

[pure rapids]

yes

[robust meteor]

i think suppression + warp nexus on purge staff is likely god roll

[south zephyr]

so for purge staff, would be looking for high burn, radius, resistance, and quell speed? damage being the dump?

[pure rapids]

ideally for purg staff your damage is your dump stat

[ornate hamlet]

I would actually care about what you're saying if you weren't just being a spitefully toxic.

[charred galleon]

We have to use "opinion" or "fact" tags so people can tell the difference :/

[charred galleon]

"a toxic"?

[candid temple]

for coin, yes.

[ornate hamlet]

That'd be a good start.

[supple skiff]

5 shops in a row not single force sword

[wicked viper]

Anyone got a picture of the final penance helmet?

[ornate hamlet]

Changed sentence midway, didn't bother to delete. I think you're not someone I should talk to if you get hung up on grammar so easily, the problems might lie with you.

[boreal crystal]

I woudln't even say good start, I think the answer is yes, since your actual damage is like literally eleven

[magic hull]

nah

[charred galleon]

Just trying to understand what you're saying, it's very hard!

[magic hull]

for purgatus dont be bothered with damage

[ornate hamlet]

[magic hull]

the more flame you can input in the shortest ammount of time the better

[south zephyr]

speaking of purge, usually run surge, so not 100% sure what kind of feats you'd run with purge - any recommendations?

[ornate hamlet]

Also called a meme.

[uneven sparrow]

Its us against the world psykers

[pure rapids]

something like this

[charred galleon]

a marvel meme...either a 60-year-old mom on facebook or a funko pop Marvelhead....let's find out

[magic hull]

axe master race

[pure rapids]

or this

[lucid mortar]

please use opinion tag

[ornate hamlet]

Yikes, to think you're still being so negative after one sentence. I must have gone deep under your skin.

[south zephyr]

how's it perform in heresy/damnation?

[charred galleon]

I'm so sorry, thank you for keeping me accountable

[tight saddle]

It took me 150 hours to get a Deflector Force Sword

[pure rapids]

https://gfycat.com/quarrelsomelastcow

[candid temple]

150 resets is pretty rough.

[south zephyr]

looks solid, what's the cutoff for peril before you self-delete? iirc surge was like 82%

[tight saddle]

Fatshart wishes I checked every damn hour with their shitty system.

[tight saddle]

That was fixed for Surge

[candid temple]

Oh, if you didn't then that explains it.

[uneven sparrow]

I liked at the end when ur guy did this ^ with the fire staff

[robust meteor]

fatshark wants me to call my gf in the middle of the day and tell her to check my shop

[south zephyr]

praise the omnissiah

[supple skiff]

fr may need to fire up the ol team viewer

[candid temple]

fatshark wants me to buy a steamdeck so I can always check the store.

[pure rapids]

oh it's not mine

but I do like that part as well

[robust meteor]

someone has to have a bot out there to check the shop

[ornate hamlet]

Isn't the shop diff for everyone tho?

Think that'd be hard to track... if true.

[pure rapids]

around ~85% post-charge but pre-cast

[supple skiff]

wonder if my laptop can run the game well enough for me to hobble to the store

[uneven sparrow]

I’m sure another Psyker said they saw what I saw maybe it was a different thing

[south zephyr]

[pure rapids]

and the left click staggers charging ragers

[lethal plover]

Instead of AI art I need AI shop checker

[ornate hamlet]

Your dedication to the Emperor is found wanting. Please install a Windows Emulator on your phone then install Darktide and only then may you proceed to crawl to the store.

[south zephyr]

[pure rapids]

if you left click stagger and do a quick right click charge combo

you can stunlock them essentially

[lethal plover]

Probably not during its super combo?

[pure rapids]

absolutely during it's super combo

[lethal plover]

Nice

[pure rapids]

I've survived multiple rager rushes because of that

[south zephyr]

would anyone be able to post a "good" purge staff for reference?

[pure rapids]

not to mention the left click only uses 4% peril

[lethal plover]

you know what

[tawny nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-meme-cat-gif-23917781

[magic hull]

this is my run with purgatus, i usually BB when dealing with ranged targets : )

[lethal plover]

since BB was nerfed and you can't just do spammy BB to oneshot crushers, it may have forced people to actually learn about other tools in psyker toolkit

[long wharf]

I, uh, don't know exactly how to react to this

[candid temple]

that is an interesting choice.

[pure rapids]

2nd and 4th feats are questionable

[magic hull]

nope

i used to pick the staffs damages

but now i prefer to use BB and staff

[pure rapids]

#psyker-class message

[magic hull]

focusing everything on staffs really makes you suffer when running purga purga

[pure rapids]

this can be a good reference point

[uneven sparrow]

The duality of Psyker

[pure rapids]

for the blessings you can ignore the Run n Gun

[shadow quail]

😢

[south zephyr]

can purge crit?

or rather, does the crit work for the burn?

[uneven sparrow]

Cursed criticals

[pure rapids]

it can crit

but not the DoT it applies

only the part where your hand still spews fire

but the crit is quite pointless imo

since the base dmg is like 11~16

[south zephyr]

can it proc the -peril on weakspot kill?

[pure rapids]

yes but quite unreliable

[vernal rock]

Anyone else experiencing frame rate issues recently?

[pure rapids]

though I'd just recommend Terrifying Barrage and Warp Flurry

[pure rapids]

I've also found out a neat fact of purg

[dusky lantern]

Why do psykers use dueling blade

[prisma gust]

Any Psykers wanna help each other get the T4 Pennances? I want that hood with the goggles!

[pure rapids]

as you spew fire enemies immediately behind you are suppressed as well

[candid temple]

they like mobility

[magic hull]

my purga purga on damnation

[tidal adder]

Force sword has infinite dodges?

[candid temple]

lower dodge range

[tidal adder]

Ic

[pure rapids]

purga purga is all you needed to say sibling

[primal fjord]

Are you referring to before or after game official release?

[south zephyr]

Out With a Bang is my bane

[lethal plover]

Closed beta

[prisma gust]

I just don't think I'll ever get Malleus Monstronum

[worthy wasp]

Yo, not saying I've replaced my Antax Mk5... but I'm really digging the Atrox Mk2 Tactical

[uneven sparrow]

Which specials is it again

[hardy lily]

Dueling Sword is so fast it outruns the police

[crimson pond]

Pick and mix is my bane

[prisma gust]

@uneven sparrow It's kill 3 specials or elites with a Peril explosion IIRC

[pure rapids]

I've seen players yeet themselves across the room just to dodge hordes

[south zephyr]

wasn't even going to attempt Pick n Mix until they buff BB to scale with item level

[uneven sparrow]

I wasn’t sure if type specific, it seems like you just have to play dangerously or nab it on the specials that spawn before an objective

[hardy lily]

I use that mobility to do objectives, to charge ranges and specials, to get out of rager fuck zones, etc

[crimson pond]

Shit is ridiculous

[south zephyr]

i'd like my second hood though, and OWaB is the only one I am missing for that

[prisma gust]

I just want goggles 😦

[cyan notch]

do grenades scale?

[south zephyr]

yes

[tidal adder]

No

[hardy lily]

If they do it's pathetic

[crimson pond]

Like you can do it but you need a 4 person group ready to help you till you get it

[hardy lily]

Like an Ogryn firing a grenadier gauntlet into the crowd

[main jay]

I got pick and mix in a pug by accident I dunno how lol, it's the suicide one and monstrocity one I'm missing I don't have a 4 stack

[prisma gust]

@main jay If you get 2 more, I'm down to group up and help each other get the monstrosity one

[south zephyr]

have the monstrosity one already actually

[main jay]

well best strat is an ogryn with a shield and a daemon host

[south zephyr]

this, honestly

[main jay]

so i heard

[south zephyr]

it's how I did mine

[prisma gust]

Yeah that sounds viable

[uneven sparrow]

Honestly that’s the strategy I keep yelling at veterans and zealots who pull demonhosts and arent even considering the penance

With the right combo it might just happen naturally fr

[prisma gust]

If only all my teammates had incomparable minds as well...

[main jay]

Nah not 90% BB damage on Heresy won't ever happen natrually unless your team is all dead

[uneven sparrow]

🧠

[main jay]

It's the dumbest penance in the entire game

or maybe the suicide one is

[uneven sparrow]

True they won’t like being cut out of dps even with the strategy

They also changed the text for it with the update

[main jay]

todays update?

[uneven sparrow]

The last one

[tired totem]

Fun stuff. One Psyker just asked us on PUB to do it against a demonhost, everyone agreed and was done just like that

Ogryn is help!

[hardy lily]

Daemon host counts? Huh

[tired totem]

It is a monstrocity, ye

[main jay]

Yeah I've tried to ask when I see an ogryn with a shield

[hardy lily]

You don't need an Ogryn with a shield, just another Psyker lol

[tired totem]

Yeah the point is, it literally happened on a random pubby with no issues. Guess just lucky Psyker, there.

[shut thorn]

Malleus is an annoying achievement ngl

[main jay]

is the peril on block really enough?

I'd be surprised if it is

[stiff maple]

Fucking true

I hate Going Out With a Bang

[main jay]

DH on Heresy hits like a truck

[hardy lily]

If you have -block cost axe or relics definitely

[shut thorn]

Yes, get a FS with high warp resistance

[hardy lily]

Otherwise you're gonna have to use a pillar or height or pro dodge

[prisma gust]

Yeah still need Out with a Bang, Malleus, and Pick N Mix T_T

[magic gull]

pretty good dmg on elites, what blessing and perks you got on that one

tried some flame build, but doesnt work for me, idk what thing i should look for

[uncut hamlet]

thats a nice staff you got

[hardy lily]

[magic hull]

damage might not be the best but cloud raidus at 80% is amazing for crowd control

and good quell and warp management too

so i can spam it alot

[hardy lily]

Missing the part that damage is 69

[magic hull]

yes the emeperors will is 69

[pure rapids]

nice

[shut thorn]

372, honestly hope they add a system to buff weapons

[main jay]

0.6% of players have 'going out with a bang'
Monstrocity isn't even on Steam but I'll bet it's a lot less.

Seems like a ploy to funnel people to the cash shop

[uneven sparrow]

🤠

[south zephyr]

tfw 4/5 on Pick n Mix and you run out of 1 BB-able targets

[modest magnet]

I wish I had done a sergeant johnson recreation character specifically for going out with a bang

[shut thorn]

Weird thing is I got going out with a bang in PB on a malice run while helping a friend, I didn't even kill a single elite, just happened to do damage before they died

[main jay]

lool

[shut thorn]

Also ngl pick n mix would be easier if they give us CB style BB locking

Aka way more aggressively locking unto specials

[main jay]

Honestly I'm still hoping they redesign this shit, maybe before xmas

[shut thorn]

It's just cosmetics tbh

[uneven sparrow]

It’s so simple, I see it now

Tell your team not to kill maulers

[main jay]

I live for cosmetics

[uneven sparrow]

Just have a pack of maulers follow you

[main jay]

I've paid real money for them

[sleek herald]

I've done it when standing on a ledge and ragers were climbing it - they couldn't run away, noone had clear visual on them and I could quickly stack peril to explode, easy

[south zephyr]

the problem is finding a group of people coordinated enough not to go ham on the elites in malice/heresy

[main jay]

It's really backwards game design

[south zephyr]

non-team oriented challenges in a team game

[sleek herald]

basically you are looking for malice with endless horde for extra specials

[main jay]

Entire game is 'shoot stuff' in a pug environment for most, then penances are... 'dont shoot stuff'

[sleek herald]

but yeah, ONLY the psyker has a penance that can't be done with randos solo, even when lucky

mallous monstronum

or what was it called

[lethal plover]

Having a lot of fun with trauma

[stiff maple]

can someone take my hand and explain to me how to do Going Out with a Bang?

[sleek herald]

explode in 3 elites

[stiff maple]

Yes, I understand the objective, not sure how to execute it

how are yall overcharging? Holding right click on BB?

[sleek herald]

trauma staff stacks a lot of peril on rmb

[stiff maple]

Trauma, eh?

[hardy belfry]

I used a trauma staff and just stood still

[stiff maple]

Damn

[lethal plover]

BB should do it

[boreal nexus]

wait, is this the discord for the new sienna class?

[sleek herald]

I used trauma staff and just so happened 3 ragers started climbing ledge I was on so I just attacked once and periled killing them

[lethal plover]

Fuck

More people play damnation please

[cyan notch]

no that ones never coming out

[sleek herald]

eh, I still need to complete 36 quests for the goggles hood, I need to actually complete them lol

merciless for me, pretty chill and fun

AND rewards are basically the same cause who cares about gold or exp lol

[pure rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/cartman-now-we-can-finally-play-the-game-gif-26486523

after all the penance

[sleek herald]

after this I will make an ogryn and do all penances for him 🙂

[signal turret]

I talked shit about the Purg staff earlier and now all im getting are Purg staffs in armory, truly s-tier trolling

[sleek herald]

last character to do so actually

so pretty close

[pure rapids]

of course

you can't purge without purg

[worthy wasp]

And here I am jealous of them high base tac axes

[signal turret]

Id rather try my luck in damnation with my level 8 zealot than use Purg staff but lets not kick that dead horse lol

[worthy wasp]

this is p damn good in shop for me speaking of purgs

[pure rapids]

oof that quell speed

[sleek herald]

quell speed is ass though

[worthy wasp]

Just weapon swap

[olive notch]

Does the Deimos Mark Vla Rebreather make you bald?

[pure rapids]

not when the damage stat is wasted on purg

[signal turret]

I got a near god-roll stat wise that I will never use

[worthy wasp]

Jeez

[sleek herald]

do a gif of you dismantling it and post here

[pure rapids]

fuck me

[lethal plover]

Try trauma

[pure rapids]

I'mma save that for anyone asking if shit can roll above 360

[worthy wasp]

Hold onto it for future patches

[signal turret]

Lol when crafting drops and I get something from it ill consider it

[lethal plover]

Damnation queues just kill me man

No one

[lethal plover]

So sad

[pure rapids]

alright another one to the pile

[south zephyr]

380 is the current max

[lethal plover]

Someone promised they got 381

[candid temple]

display bug afaik

[crimson pond]

Do you guys think they’ll nerf or changes that one challenge called pick and mix or whatever it’s called?

[candid temple]

there was that screenshot of 385, but if you added the %'ges together it was 380.

[cyan notch]

why does everyone say it goes to 400 it seems like 380 is clearly the cap for now

[signal turret]

I get so many guns in my armory it was bound to happen sooner or later. Bought it just cause

[pure rapids]

aight aight

[signal turret]

380 is the stat cap. 385 is a graphical error that still breaks down to the 380 stat cap

highest % can go is 80

[spiral remnant]

awooga awooga

as a purg user this releases a great amount of dopamine

[south zephyr]

everytime I try to do a damnation mission to get a penance, a group of people join who actually want to do the mission

am sad

this penance was the main reason I stopped playing psyker for a bit too

[cyan notch]

lfg it

[spiral remnant]

psyker gameplay still one of the most satisfying imo 😊 seeing dregs explode in blue flame is always a sight for sore eyes

[alpine pollen]

2h force sword gnna be cool or super lame

[south zephyr]

why couldn't it have been a force sword?

[candid temple]

or a mk v

[crimson pond]

Because you want it too much

[buoyant ridge]

[sour coral]

Watch it’s like power sword but slower lol.

[robust meteor]

Duel Wands

[hollow stirrup]

hello psykers

how are yall doing

[robust meteor]

Dual

[candid temple]

honestly, as someone who only plays dual weapons in VT2, the lack of dual stuff reduces my enjoyment of Darktide by 50%.

[hollow stirrup]

[sleek herald]

double voidstrike staff when

mobile artillery psyker

[candid temple]

hmm

[surreal girder]

Double force sword.

[sleek herald]

double ogryn shield

[candid temple]

what I'd want is our character having the ability to use staff / force weapon as a focus for BB, to make it less dogshit.

[supple skiff]

https://prnt.sc/UoO6SNto0P05 praise the omnissiah

i think you guys are all just photoshopping deflector as some sort of inside joke. i dont think it really exists

[ornate hamlet]

ill believe it when i get one

[surreal girder]

Congrats, sibling.

[spiral remnant]

so how do i raise the average modifier rating of my purchases in the shop/

[sleek herald]

level up

[spiral remnant]

besides dat

im level 30 alr

[sleek herald]

pray to emperor

[spiral remnant]

🙏 😭

[candid temple]

some tinfoil theory is that if you buy high rolls, it increases the potential for high rolls

[sleek herald]

lmao even alpha psykers aren't that insane to believe that

[candid temple]

Alpha Psykers would read the minds of Fatshark Devs to know whether it's true or not...

[ornate hamlet]

so is there a limited number of times you can replace tasks?

[robust meteor]

i just want to know when i'll be able to buy a cosmetic for the purge. need that rainbow flame with glitter

[ornate hamlet]

am i really stuck with 12 grim?

[candid temple]

Also, on a different tinfoil note, I removed curio% and now I get emperor's gift almost every game

[sleek herald]

12 grim aint so har,d you can go t2/t3 and have an easy time

[ornate hamlet]

:(

[teal cargo]

Damn it always being trolled by the gifts 😢

[candid temple]

consider it a free 10k+ coins or whatever

[teal cargo]

😔

[pine topaz]

I think there's breakpoints with gear that you want to buy to roll potential 500 gear... like grey is, what 340, green is 380, blue is 400+, purple is 440+ etc

[candid temple]

if it doesn't have good blessings for later eating

[sleek herald]

you're the psyker, but you psyke with lead

[devout axle]

Reposting this since its been a few hours.

[robust meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw48VVpVVLc&t=1s

[candid temple]

only thing that matters long-term is modifier (and good perk helps too), you want as close as possible to 380.
because you will be able to swap blessings later.

[signal turret]

There's a critical error with that quiz, all of the options arent Surge Staff

[pine topaz]

This started as a blue 400 i think

[devout axle]

The only thing I see wrong with it is that not more people have voted for Trauma staff.

[teal cargo]

This worth upgradin?

[pine topaz]

that's a nice one

[austere sandal]

is charge speed more important than quell speed?

[pine topaz]

@teal cargo yup, upgrade to gold and see what u get

[signal turret]

If it's any consolation I brought balance to the force by being the tie vote for #1 with Surge

[devout axle]

On a Surge, you aren't normally charging it anyways. Quell speed is definitely more important.

[pine topaz]

@teal cargo it's god roll if you get supression perk

[austere sandal]

ok thanks

[signal turret]

You basically got a god roll with that, charge rate means nothing on Surge. Im jelly af

[austere sandal]

psyker is my secondary character, of course i get the good rolls on here and not on the stuff i want for veteran

[stable ore]

has anyone else noticed the peril block occasionally breaking when stamina is low but you have little to no peril?

[signal turret]

Yes, annoying af

[tight saddle]

hmmmm

not a fan of it, but I might pick it up

[teal cargo]

Hmmm not bad so far

[pine topaz]

LOL god roll

now upgrade to gold

[warm latch]

level that up and it will have super high GS

[tight saddle]

oh I'm just not a fan of VS staff lol

[teal cargo]

need some more mats

[tight saddle]

But I picked it up just in case I ever get mats to spare.

[warm latch]

ahhh same here tbh

[pine topaz]

Not to steal anyone's thunder, but I think the recent surge staff buff might bring it to the top of the meta

[teal cargo]

whats so good bout suppressing people?

[pine topaz]

literally unlimited lightning with animation cancelling

[fringe garden]

What secondary perks do y'all prefer on surge? 20% damage on unarmored?

[tight saddle]

they don't hurt you or your friends

[buoyant ridge]

[devout axle]

Crit chance.

[hollow stirrup]

[buoyant ridge]

[hollow stirrup]

[buoyant ridge]

[hollow stirrup]

[fringe garden]

This is getting a little off topic, I feel like

[signal turret]

Surge Staff damage on non-flak targets is nearly non-existent so I would consider perks like those immediate rerolls when crafting drops. +20% to flak armor perk fucks

[kindred edge]

Got a link to a video on how to do that?

[robust meteor]

surge = crit stack on perks and blessings is op

[pine topaz]

I think @lethal plover posted one in this thread somewhere, I'm at work so can't record atm

but it's as soon as lightning leaves finger tips, press q twice while holding right mouse and ready to fire again

you can do it one more time at 97% which brings you to 100% but you won't blow up

at that poiint fit a bit of manual quell into that rotation

You will rush in and clear the ranged adds

the lightning will auto target, top and bottom 🙂

[kindred edge]

Okay, I'll give that a shot. Do you charge the lightning or rapid fire?

[pine topaz]

and through walls

just rapid fire as fast as the game allows you to shoot

[kindred edge]

Thanks!

[heady bramble]

40 hours on psyker and havent seen a single force sword, am i cursed?

[pine topaz]

you can even solo ragers if they're at a distance... 4 lightning hits will kill them

[tight saddle]

Does that Blessing even work on it?

[pine topaz]

on heresy

its just really bad. ive been going mad trying to get a decent wep

It does not according to Meat Grinder.

[scarlet lily]

It is sad they don't show up in previous games as I'd like to block them so they never get carried

[ornate hamlet]

Is the trade off worth it?

[candid temple]

34% warp resist

[scarlet lily]

It won't really matter till 30, tbh so play with what feels better

[candid temple]

🚮

[robust meteor]

sounds normal to me!

[candid temple]

fatshark, let me buy this hat

[magic hull]

If you guys find a good stat armour penetration axe, get it.

[candid temple]

if it's mk v?

[magic hull]

MII & MK5

[candid temple]

but it depends on whether you like axe gameplay.

[magic hull]

its hidden meta

[wise pecan]

You’re right, but the kick was also justified

[scarlet lily]

Not really, they played selfish and let their friend die 2 times

[glacial dune]

been using the flame staff lately

[scarlet lily]

Blamed it on me when it was a skill issue for all of them

[glacial dune]

ngl new fav

[scarlet lily]

I rezzed them easily 3-4 times while they'd just let me or the friend die

Against common horde

[pure rapids]

purg purg PURG PURG

[glacial dune]

however

been trying to get the kill 3 elites with the explosion

sucks

[magic hull]

welcome my purga purga sibling

[pure rapids]

purga purga psyka purg

[glacial dune]

this thing fucks

[teal cargo]

purge is so fun

[magic hull]

every race lives in harmony until the purga nation attacks

[pure rapids]

that thing does indeed fuck

[teal cargo]

man whats with Vets not being able to kill Shotgunners and Ragers

[pure rapids]

could be better

but still fucks

[teal cargo]

😢

[tight saddle]

Did they say we would be able to reroll perks?

[glacial dune]

wish it had more range

[cyan notch]

yes

[pure rapids]

tell me about it

[wise pecan]

Sure, yeah, they probably sucked (thus the “you’re right” half of the response), but “skill issue” as a response is also cancer

[pure rapids]

nothing set in stone yet

they're gonna address it in the next dev update or something

[scarlet lily]

If you play toxic, and blame others, someones going to speak up- they kicked me as a form of coping. It was funny

[tight saddle]

toxicity doesn't overwrite toxicity, you were both toxic, you both lost.

[magic hull]

and now ur coping by venting it here 👀

[scarlet lily]

The class is great, I just don't see why there is so much self-loathing

[teal cargo]

seriously was 2 vets and I was just getting constantly gunned down by bombers and Ragers

[glacial dune]

anyone got any tips for getting the explosion penance

[teal cargo]

and gunners

[glacial dune]

by blowing ur self up

[teal cargo]

literally all the close range specials 😆

[candid hawk]

Make friends with an ogryn

[teal cargo]

they would try to run up and power sword and die

[pure rapids]

ragers we can handle but bombers and gunners shoulda been their priority

let me guess they're using their power swords on trash

[glacial dune]

have one hes being a baby and wont play cause "theyre not enough weapons"

[teal cargo]

trying to use power sword on gunners

and getting mowed down

[pure rapids]

classic

[magic hull]

does BB have a auto elite targetting nerf?

it felt much smoother elite hunting pre beta

Whenever i try BB a crusher it gets interrupted by a walker in front

[scarlet lily]

Works fine for me 👀

[glacial dune]

i havnt noticed a difference, i always aim high before locking on

aiming high usually hits the elites since theyre taller

[scarlet lily]

Aim high and swipe near their heads

[magic hull]

tinder 101

[pine topaz]

@kindred edge https://youtu.be/eOt76U-veb8 (HERESY)

[pure rapids]

unironically I kept targeting the crusher head with my BB when I was trying to target a walker for the Warp Battery penance

[scarlet lily]

You can do it with sprinting as well iirc

[spiral remnant]

on god.

[steady summit]

Which of the staffs are actually good (if its even worth playing them) and which are kinda just troll? I just finished all my Sharpshooter stuff and decided to jump over to Psyker.

[timber shale]

They’re all fine except trauma

[pure rapids]

there's a supposed bug on trauma

[covert glade]

yeah trauma is dookie

[pure rapids]

but yea trauma's in the shitter rn

[covert glade]

I like voidstrike the best, but purgatory and surge are both decent as well

[digital egret]

Some fun builds around Purgatus

[candid temple]

I like voidstrike, but I kind of wish we had more variations for purgatory and surge.

Like give up some CC for more damage or something.

[digital egret]

Depends on your play style and/or what role you want to fill.

[covert glade]

I like making big ball go boom

flames fun but take too long

[digital egret]

Big ball punches nice holes in trash

[candid temple]

I think my largest problem with darktide is that everything feels so 'bland'? 🤔

[covert glade]

and lightning doesn't have enough targets to validate the charge length in my mind

[spiral remnant]

is there a way to increase the ratings of the items in the shop WITHOUT levelling up? or like past level 30 i mean

[jovial frigate]

why cant this videogame give me staves as fat as this lasgun

[raw breach]

I feel like I carry hardest with Surge despite not killing things as easily as Void. Being able to stunlock an entire horde just feels so clutch. My team rarely takes damage because they rarely get hit. Support Psyker carries harder than glass cannon psyker i guess?

[candid temple]

like there's no cool perks/blessings or exciting abilities.

[raw breach]

also, I had a 373 white dueling sword in my shop for like 10 seconds before it rolled over... bad timing

[covert glade]

glass cannon better if you have an ogryn, but if it's all normies then support psyker is pretty nice

[unique whale]

definitely have found more success with the surge staff personally

[candid temple]

https://tenor.com/view/sending-hugs-virtual-hugs-sending-virtual-hugs-gif-22729029

[unique whale]

if I wanna do damage I like to go all in on the flame staff and talents

[raw breach]

With or without an Ogryn, I prevent everyone on my team from taking damage, Ogryn included.

[alpine pollen]

Whats yalls fav staff archetype

[covert glade]

yeah but what about the d a m a g e

[faint walrus]

Emperor blesses me

[candid temple]

mk IV unfortunately

[unique whale]

surge also does a lotta damage to carapace armored enemies, which is pretty nice

[faint walrus]

Emperor does not bless me

[raw breach]

Everything dies safely, with all 4 of my team members at full health lol. I don't need to one shot it all with bowling balls of death. I pace the run for safety and we cruise through with no deaths

[covert glade]

but bowling balls

of death

[prisma gust]

Yeah I was told there would be bowling balls of death

[paper wren]

the one that does the fire.

[raw breach]

I know, the artillery staff is so fun, and it has better blessing tbh. But surge is still better overall for your team's performance than void's damage

[paper wren]

haha, staff go woosh

[hot ice]

surge is best, but flame staff will be my fav always

purge the heretic in holy fire

[uneven sparrow]

Sorry for the pic which one psykers

[lethal plover]

I'm now not so sure which staff is best

[paper wren]

'purge heretic'? 'holy fire'? I just wanna grill for goodness sakes.

[hot ice]

your burn stacks does majority of the dmg, and thus more burn will be better

[kindred edge]

Okay, nice! It seems like it skips the stun which is unfortunate.

[hot ice]

https://tenor.com/view/steak-bbq-meat-grill-grilling-gif-17846603

[uneven sparrow]

Thank Yee

[pine topaz]

@kindred edge let the animation go if you need the stun

[kindred edge]

A fair point lol

[tropic halo]

👀

Think that's the sexiest dueling sword I seen so far

[candid hawk]

im afraid to upgrade my dueling sword

I havnt even used the dueling sword yet. Is it like the rapier in VT2?

[tropic halo]

I love it. You are very fast. Mk5 hits very hard too. For some reason I clear hordes pretty well with it but yeah not gonna compete with a zealot and their eviservator obviously or the power sword. Plus for some reason the duelling sword is made for killing mutants like slicing butter

You're just so fookin fast

[candid hawk]

interesting. I should give it a shot. Ive just been so busy leveling my ogryn

once im done with him i got all 4 to 30 and then i can just chill and collect weapons lol

[tropic halo]

Yeah try it out for yourself whenever you want.

[vivid merlin]

what melee do you surge freaks use I'm willing to try your bizarro nonbowling playstyle

[tropic halo]

Duelling sword

[candid hawk]

i mean you can really use whatever melee you want

although force swords deflection blessing is pretty sick lol

[tropic halo]

My surge is 500 but it's blessings are hit n run and focused, so to make the best of it, I am running and gunning a lot. I think we sleep on how agile and quick the psyker is, and using that speed to reposition can matter a lot

[sonic plaza]

What mean?

[long wharf]

I've found that since I switched to the Mk5 combat axe, I don't fear ragers at all now

[restive slate]

When will Psyker get Deepwood Staff to lift enemies?

[austere burrow]

warp resist really doesn't matter on surge staff anymore

lmao

this feels so nice

[tropic halo]

Yeah the axe is probably a better choice for hordes and certain specials but I just like swashbuckling and the speed too much

[rare snow]

what do you guys feel like the optimal staff/playstyle for psyker on higher difficulties (4/5)? Spamming the alt fire mode of hte trauma stuff like Sienna and her DLC staff from v2?

i have been using the flamer staff before but just tried the trauma one and learned that it's primary fire mode staggers most enemies (even elites) on every hit while the alt fire mode seems like doing more DPS than the brain burst thing so it looks like it should be great against bosses

[echo parrot]

Wtb force knife

[frigid sparrow]

I need input from dueling sword experts. Which one is the better one? The dodge single target or the cleave one?

[finite lynx]

is Pick n Mix bugged rn? I just did 6 elites in 10s on Heresy and it didnt count at all

[long wharf]

are you sure did it in 10 seconds?

[finite lynx]

ye

[tiny marsh]

Where upgrade system

[long wharf]

it's possible, though there are videos of people doing it on heresy

however, I did it on Malice

so, food for thought there

[timber shale]

Using uncharged surge staff secondary fire for quick crowd control

[finite lynx]

What the fuck xD

[long wharf]

yep

if that's a bug, then take advantage of it now

[teal cargo]

tyea and dueling swords kills Mutants super fast

[finite lynx]

how long ago did you do it?

[long wharf]

yesterday

[velvet trail]

MK5 seems to be the most popular one, but I like the MKIV cleave myself

MK5's light attack chain is awful

[teal cargo]

really? I like mk5 lights for chopping through hordes

[sacred forge]

is it weird if I like MK8?

[velvet trail]

MK5 lights are two diagonal from bottom to top. those will never hit any good body part

then the vertical is alright but still

[teal cargo]

but you cleaving through hordes and stuff

[velvet trail]

try MK4, will cleave much better through hordses

[worthy wasp]

Mk4 has a unique come string

[bold holly]

hey guys,am trying to help a friend get this achievement,can I get some help?

[unkempt juniper]

so guys, i found out what the max peril whispers are saying

[worthy wasp]

Mk4 has a doodoo first light but after that it alternates between 2nd and 3rd lights which are both solid

The issue I have with Mk4 is its worse vs elites and has less mobility
