psyker-class

[lethal plover]

but you mostly hit trash gunmen anyway so

[trail garnet]

Also have infernus on the lasgun for that extra dps

[delicate stratus]

Embrace the basketball staff.

[trail garnet]

If a special needs killing, my brainburst passive is usually clutch, if not i can manually do it

I find that without a staff I tend to use brain burst a lot more

because i dont have to worry about exploding

Thats why i got the cooldown/chargetime reduction for brainburst as my level 30 talent

[lethal plover]

peril management is mostly a meme. switch to axe and auto quell or dodge around

[warm meteor]

i can see the utility and it buffs friendlies damage as well and boss damage can be important. i personally find the dueling sword to be awkward to use. i definitely prefer combat blades for a sorta similar weapon archtype

[lethal plover]

the only thing peril really amounts to, is some kind of rate of fire, that can be remedied by perks and feats and your ult to increase

[delicate stratus]

I use ult almost only for peril management

[warm meteor]

i think im too bad a shot to be able to not accidentally fire my lasgun and BB proc a random mook tho

[delicate stratus]

the CD is so short lol

[trail garnet]

I started out with the claw sword, liked it but it got weak as the difficulty progressed, tried force sword back when it cost peril to push enemies and hated it, havent tried it since the update but i like the Mk II dueling swords finesse and ability to take on grouped units as opposed to the more single-target left-click attack from the force sword

[severe dove]

Do i want kinetic flayer or warp battery for purg staff?

[lethal plover]

try the axe

you will love it

[trail garnet]

Is there a particular model of axe that has good cleave / multi target light attacks?

[lethal plover]

mk 5

[trail garnet]

nice ill have to try it out

[lethal plover]

just spam push attack

you can literally stand still in a horde and never die (unless dog pounds on you or sth)
it even ragdolls ragers and kills them

[trail garnet]

Idk what it is lately but the hounds freakin love me

[lethal plover]

the main reason it's so great is because we have peril block so we don't even use stamina

busted mechanics

[warm meteor]

yes psyker op

lol

[trail garnet]

thats only below 100% peril right? so you wont accidentally blow yourself up while blocking

[warm meteor]

yeah you wont blow up lol

[trail garnet]

would be hilarious though

[warm meteor]

when you reach critical levels the passive stops

[cursive moon]

it's below 75% peril isn't it?

[warm meteor]

not sure if its red or yellow peril

[still bane]

Are there any penances after Kinetic Killer 3?

[lethal plover]

the only thing that hurts is your back from all the carrying

tanking wizard

[night marten]

there's other penances, life leech 5, but no more from that series that give additional helmets

[faint sigil]

Do the trappers say "I'll slow you down" or "I'll sell you down the river"

[left mirage]

hooray, level 30 psyker

time to finally start endgame

[tropic halo]

why do so many curios have the eight percent ordos perk. it's the absolute most useless one. barring outside of maybe corruption (grimoire)

[left mirage]

in about 16 minutes*

[tropic halo]

um

[left mirage]

money idk

[tropic halo]

honey there's no endgame atm for anybody unless you just wanna do penances and aim to do damnation runs

and armory camp

[left mirage]

shop is endgame

[tropic halo]

pretty much

[lethal plover]

Endgame is solo damnation endless in desert maps

[tropic halo]

staff melee only

[night marten]

exp perk still rolling on curious at 30

for gear that's locked to a character

[tropic halo]

i had one do that to me on a curio i was turning orange

fuck me life

[night marten]

yup.

[lethal plover]

Not even kidding. I did a 3 psyker clear, so I strongly believe psyker can do it. It's just a matter of getting gud

Well, probably either chocob or j_sat will do it first

[left mirage]

psyker is easily the worst of the 4 classes, but not by a large margin imo

[tropic halo]

i just want more bosses

[lethal plover]

Ignore the bait

[tropic halo]

i mean we're definitely not the number one class

we can agree on that at least

[left mirage]

ngl, i just want them to add a subclass that's literally just BH with the level 30 refund talent

[lethal plover]

Psyker has best solo potential. That's what matters for me

[left briar]

j daddy?

[tropic halo]

at least ogryn's getting new weapons

[left mirage]

is there a roadmap somewhere

[ornate hamlet]

Nothing makes me feel more heroic as a Psyker (for casual fun) doing Level 3s with a revolver and a rapier.

[tropic halo]

we have to use sticks (staffs) and a rock (all the guns we mostly don't need) and we have to share the rock

[left mirage]

or is it just that one community post on the forums by aqshy

[tropic halo]

revolver's very satisfying.

[tropic halo]

even if there was a roadmap could we even trust it

[ornate hamlet]

Sergeant, is that you?

[left mirage]

true

we probably couldnt

[tropic halo]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-halo-combat-evolved-halo-elite-halo-sangheili-sgt-johnson-gif-24897322

[left mirage]

but man, this game's looking real rough

hedge doing whatever the hell they're doing isnt helping

[ornate hamlet]

"When I joined the corps, we didn't have no fancy schmancy tanks. We had sticks. Two sticks! And a Rock! And we had to share the rock! Buck up boy, you're one very lucky marine!"

[left briar]

what happened? I miss somethin

[tropic halo]

we could use a sergeant johnson in this game.

[brave vale]

whats the dump stat on a mk5 and does mobility matter

[left mirage]

morrow's the best we've got rn sadly

[lethal plover]

You answered yourself

[left mirage]

lmao

[ornate hamlet]

So, if it was warhammer. When I joined the prison, we didn't have no fancy schmancy space marines! We had Psykers, TWO Psykers and an Ogryn! And we had to SHARE the Ogryn!"

[worthy wasp]

Lol

[tropic halo]

only thing i dont like 40k is that we got a bunch of soldiers but nobody's talking about how they're fucking each other's moms at Home Depot Prime and how Private Thaddeus once shat himself because he ate expired corpse rations from over a century ago

and then he died from dysentry, for the emperor

[brave vale]

so this is a shit axe not worth upgrading

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334322

[worthy wasp]

Love it when ppl flip shit when I pull the DH

[left mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[night marten]

that's a good axe.

[left mirage]

share the ogryn huh

[ornate hamlet]

For cover.

[tropic halo]

share the ogryn 👀

[ornate hamlet]

I will say,

[lethal plover]

Roll is quite good. Can clear damnation. Just skill.

[ornate hamlet]

When it comes to his offensive nature, he has more cushion for the pushin.

[tropic halo]

cap

[lethal plover]

Don't even need to upgrade to clear

[worthy wasp]

There was a dh spawn in my t5 in a relatively tight spot, so I pulled it because I knew there was a chance if a horde spawned I'd be liable to accidently pulling it with my surge secondary

And group flipped shit "WHYYY"

And then afterwards, "wtf how"

[tropic halo]

surge's greatest weakness is probably the daemonhost tbh 🤣 i gotta put that shit away whenever it's around

[worthy wasp]

I just pull the dh

Solves the issue

[cyan notch]

or just dont pull it if not needed

[tropic halo]

depends on how good your team is. if things are already busy, no need to make it harder.

[lethal plover]

My biggest success in the last throneside damnation clear, is to convince my pub team mates to fall back instead of trying to run past dh when a horde came.
The game was taunting them to try

[tropic halo]

good call

[worthy wasp]

Nah, you deal with horde and specials then pull dh

Imo

[cyan notch]

but why

[worthy wasp]

Not in all situations

But

[tropic halo]

suffer not the daemon to live, by the emperor

[worthy wasp]

In tight spot you dont want to risk it getting accidently pulled while dealing with horde+specials

And tanking it is ez af

So may as well

[cyan notch]

well sure but not randomly pulling when its not needed

[tropic halo]

https://tenor.com/view/heresy-warhammer40k-gif-19712545

me and the boys when daemonhost

[worthy wasp]

I give team heads up

Make sure they are ready

Then pull

I dont do it randomly

[tropic halo]

im only playing at heresy atm but i can't trust my team half the time to willing fight the dh

[worthy wasp]

Ppl are just skeptical of a psyker doing that still

[vital bough]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660651098066911251/854005598382063626/200.gif

Me when I spam staff too much

[vital bough]

You don't need to fight a daemonhost

[tropic halo]

im not the one fighting it it's music

[lethal plover]

An ogryn or psyker can do it. But one wrong pound by a dog or sniper is oops.

[tropic halo]

real talk for a second

anybody leaned abck irl for a second whenever they dodged a sniper shot in-game that was really close?

[potent echo]

what?

[lethal plover]

No

[cyan notch]

no lol

[vital bough]

This dude leans with the wheel when he plays racing games

[worthy wasp]

this is the strong 317 staff I've seen

[potent echo]

dodge irl when playing time crisis

[lethal plover]

well, if it's fun

[tropic halo]

hey

... yeah okay fuck

[vital bough]

The sad part is the charge rate being so low but otherwise it's okay

[tropic halo]

what curio perks you guys rocking?

[worthy wasp]

you never charge a surge staff

1 wound + 2 health

[tropic halo]

i've been seeing some people do health over toughness, what's your stance on that

[vital bough]

You can charge it before you even get to cast it again, fast charge on a surge can get it to at least half charge even if you're spamming the fire button

It makes it better for damage at least

Most important is warp resist tho so you can spam cc more

[worthy wasp]

^

[vital bough]

so it's still good really

[worthy wasp]

ye

[tropic halo]

well more charge on a surge is good for the maulers and such but other than that, yeah

but yeah i was wondering whether more health or toughness is good for the psyker nowadays

[latent ginkgo]

Trauma force staff appears to suck ass, unless I'm doing it wrong?

[vital bough]

Takes care of flak gunners and ragers pretty well, too

[valid marsh]

[tropic halo]

delerik over there will vouch for its knockdown ability, and you can make it work i guess, but i never seen it in-game past heresy.

[lone cliff]

wait what is it that i dont know about psykers pulling DH?

i just recently made a psyker. what can the psyker do to a demonhost?

[tropic halo]

ragers and flak gunners, we handle those in between controlling the mob with surge. mutants and dogs run around, we got them locked down. keeping an eye out for bombers, trappers, and snipers. that's how i go about playing, largely.

[vital bough]

lvl 20 perk lets you block with peril instead of stamina, lets you tank tons

[lone cliff]

oh really so blocking with peril is actually pretty cost effective?

[worthy wasp]

Peril block + quietitude

[tropic halo]

it allows you to be a t-1000 as well for teammate revivals

[worthy wasp]

Ye

[lone cliff]

t-1000?

[tropic halo]

a killing machine

[worthy wasp]

Raid boss

[tropic halo]

https://tenor.com/view/t1000-morph-liquid-metal-gif-20751251

[lone cliff]

oh because u can revive, and instead of stamina u take peril first

[hardy tinsel]

Block before ressing a teammate and you become and god

[vital bough]

get deflector on warp sword to let you block ranged for even more tankiness

[tropic halo]

if you have a deflector force sword, nothing can get you

[cyan notch]

ressing is auto block

[worthy wasp]

Well wait

[tropic halo]

except for a dog or mutant, i think

[hardy tinsel]

@cyan notch Really? I get tagged all the time while ressing

[worthy wasp]

Force Sword is better for rezzing, but other weaps are better for tanking bosses

[tropic halo]

or trapper too, those kinda guys

[lone cliff]

so for the demonhost? ur saying that lvl 20 perk, ok but im usually a heresy player. like i have been doing heresy with 3 randoms on vet and preacher. around the time im ready to do lvl 4s on psyker, i can take that and tank a heresy-level demonhost?

[cyan notch]

u cant block ranged unless u have deflector force sword and thats also directional block

[worthy wasp]

Damnation, too

[lone cliff]

what....

ok so the tank psyker build is actually nuts huh

thats good

[tired geyser]

Random psa for psykers who don't know. If you're about to self destruct,, use your ability. It cancels it.
I ran across like four today that were trying to make a Michael Bay film or something.

[hardy tinsel]

Ahh, it's the directional that gets me

[lone cliff]

im glad this class has something to look forward to

[worthy wasp]

Tons of CC and survivability

[lone cliff]

what secondary do yall run?

[tropic halo]

us surge users take pride in suicide bombing so much they made a penance for us

[worthy wasp]

All staffs are viable

[hot ice]

what if i was trying to make a Michael Bay film, huh?

[tropic halo]

i still wanna see that trauma staff in damnation on a desert map

[lone cliff]

can i get a screenshot of a trait tree that someones using, with the peril-blocking build?

[tropic halo]

once i see it, i'll believe it - though i believe it already. just wanna see it.

[lone cliff]

is taht the most effective build per se? like if i wanted to do good. "meta" if u wanna call it that

[hot ice]

most meta build i believe atm is one that uses the surge staff

and using force sword with surge staff gives you not much killing power

[lone cliff]

surge is lightning?

[tropic halo]

aye

[hot ice]

yes

i recommend the mk5 axe with the surge staff

[valid marsh]

[lone cliff]

whats the skill tree look like for the peril-blocking build?

[hardy tinsel]

Not a huge fan of Surge =/

[lone cliff]

or does it really matter? just take that and block demonhost?

[cyan notch]

LOL

[worthy wasp]

It + quietitude

And dont use force sword

[lone cliff]

what really?

[brave vale]

wait does peril block work if ur out of stam

[tropic halo]

non-force weapons passively lose peril faster

[valid marsh]

This is such a blueball my god

[lone cliff]

oh wow so thats why u dont use force sword with that huh

[worthy wasp]

Force Sword can clutch revive better due to deflector but non-force melees quell passively fast af

Also

[lone cliff]

oh wow i see that

[brisk plume]

Seems like is doesn't. But I cannot confirm

[lone cliff]

yeah the peril quelling on non-force equipment is nuts

ok thank u guys 🙂

[tropic halo]

yeah. for me personally i hate how slow the force sword feels and moves. either way it's our small blessing for playing a psyker

[lone cliff]

i love the force sword., its like my favorite melee in the game. ive got 30 preacher 30 vet and 22 ogryn, made a psyker earlier and tryin em out

[tropic halo]

hopefully we get that force 2hander soon.

[lone cliff]

sucks i cant do the peril blocking with it tho

[left mirage]

closed beta force sword was the shit, had wide sweeps

[worthy wasp]

I think Force Sword will be meta for any future classes we get, but non-force melees are really good on Psykinetic due to Kinetic Deflection + Quietitude

[tropic halo]

oof, man, dont remind me

[left mirage]

i miss it

[tropic halo]

we were perfect

[shadow quail]

this game is throwing deflector swords at me now lol

[left mirage]

that we were

[raw breach]

It's been a long week but I'm finally back, Psyker chat. Finished leveling everything else so I can focus on my true purpose, being a weirdboy.

[lone cliff]

yo thats a nasty blessing! holy wow i want that

[tropic halo]

welcome back to hell

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-to-hell-gif-26054847

[raw breach]

So what's changed in the past week in the psyker meta? anyone learn anything new about talents? is there a new build that's emerged in the past week?

[tropic halo]

well... peril block, trauma staff's not too too bad as we thought, gun wizards, soulblaze is still shit mostly

mk5 axe is more popular now

[shadow quail]

did peril block change?

[raw breach]

Or I guess, now that more people are level 30, what are people running in Damnation that's working well?

[tropic halo]

nah just more psykers realized they got it

[shadow quail]

ah

yeah it's pretty good

[worthy wasp]

Axe + insert staff here + quietitude + kinetic deflection.

Congratz you can dunk on damnation

[lone cliff]

what is quietitude? its not a feat? blessing on a weapon?

[raw breach]

Gun wizard? Like the BB Gun build with an Accatran II and 233232 build orr something?

[shadow quail]

axe doesn't have deflection though

[worthy wasp]

Its the bottom talent in the first column

[raw breach]

and what do you mean trauma staff isn't as bad as we thought? Did it get buffed?

[shadow quail]

is it really that much better at tanking?

[lone cliff]

im dumb. i didnt notice because thats the one im using anyways LOL

[tropic halo]

pretty much, there's a couple of gun wizards in here

and they make a lot of people angry

🤣

[raw breach]

lol I was one of the first people on the BB Gun builds

[worthy wasp]

Deflection overrated, good for clutch revives but for literally everything else axes are signif better than FS

[mild lotus]

Tanking daemonhosts has virtually no benefits except for flex purposes as I have yet to see an instance of a daemonhost not being avoidable as long as you care to take a subsidiary route.

[lone cliff]

what about the rapier dueling sword? any good?

[left mirage]

i cant really bring myself to come back to fs after discovering axe

maybe if it was closed beta force sword

[shadow quail]

Must be me because i seem to have more issues with ranged than melee tanking

[mild lotus]

The nerf hammer will bring the siblings back

[left mirage]

kill the daemons

[worthy wasp]

Mk4 and mk5 are both solid, tho not as good vs hordes/elites as axe.

[tropic halo]

emperor please no more nerfs, i have childen to feed (to the emperor)

[shadow quail]

which axe exactly? ill keep an eye out and try

[mild lotus]

antrax

mkV

[left mirage]

gotta feed the god emperor his psyker juice

[worthy wasp]

Antax mkv

[shadow quail]

👍

[raw breach]

mk 5 me?

[tropic halo]

pro psyker gaming fuel

[mild lotus]

the all blue one with a pointy end at the opposite side of the edge

[worthy wasp]

That said, I've been loving tac axes lately

[shadow quail]

and specific perks or just any axe?

[worthy wasp]

But ye, the mk5 antax has a broken good push attack

Insane cleave and great vs everything

[shadow quail]

better push than FS?

because i can spam that all day long

[mild lotus]

depends

[worthy wasp]

Its insane

[mild lotus]

the FSword can throw down even crushers with its push attack

[worthy wasp]

Pair it with peril block and quietitude

And spam push attacks

[mild lotus]

if you want CC, the FSword is the best choice

[worthy wasp]

Ehhhh

[lone cliff]

also.... does force sword not suffer from spamming dodges? i seem to be able to maintain both speed and distance while travelling the map just by dodging. intended?

[mild lotus]

if you want a weapon that's going to get nerfed, the antax is the best choice

[left mirage]

if you want to blend hordes + ragers run axe

[raw breach]

I just need something to swap to sometimes when i'm not using my force staff.

[mild lotus]

FSword has infinite dodges

[tropic halo]

fs got unlimited dodges

[worthy wasp]

Antax Mk V

[left mirage]

anything that gets staggered by a push will get push attacked into oblivion

[lone cliff]

WHAT. yo this is so nasty

[shadow quail]

FS got unlimited dodge and push

[raw breach]

Why would I run that over FS?

[shadow quail]

you can run through hordes

[worthy wasp]

You can unlimited push with antax too

[shadow quail]

really?

[lone cliff]

holy cow how is this not like meta? dude this is nasty

[worthy wasp]

And you are a lawn mower

[shadow quail]

oh ok i need to check it out

tyvm

[left mirage]

try em both out

would recommend both, i just like axe more

[tropic halo]

aye fs has a ton of perks. i use dueling sword for the style, honestly. and the maneuverability.

[worthy wasp]

FS is better for clutch revives due to deflector, for everything else Axe mk5 is superior

[shadow quail]

and you also get quicker auto quell wieth the axe too

[worthy wasp]

Elites... hordes... auto quell... etc... axe is superior

Lets you tank DH too

[left mirage]

^

[worthy wasp]

Due to speed of auto quell

[mild lotus]

I bet on the possibility of force weapon getting a passive quell buff at some point, it seems odd to me that non force weapons help you dissipate peril compared to force weapon which are designed to work around the powers of the warp

[ornate hamlet]

I honestly feel like switching my psykers voice every gmae i play, the female savant is way more easy on the ears but loner more interesting I suppose. That high pitch is just a lil too much for me at times lol
to contribute to the topic, in damnation i see most psykers with dueling sword :0

[raw breach]

Auto quell axe? what

[left mirage]

its really clutch when your teammates do an oopsie and aggro the host

[shadow quail]

right i need me one of them to test

[raw breach]

how?

[left mirage]

non-force weapons quell faster

passively

pair that with toughness on quell

[worthy wasp]

Ye, quietitude and kinetic deflection

• axe

[left mirage]

i just walk into daemonhosts and ogryns

[tropic halo]

force weapon relies on warp. could be the reason why it doesnt quell as fast. either way, force sword doesnt need any more further perks

[shadow quail]

right lets hope the shop blesses me with one in the next month or so

[worthy wasp]

Well, any non-force melee

[left mirage]

plague ogryns, assuming they dont aggro a teammate doing more dmg lmao

[raw breach]

okay, what about blessings for me mk 5

[tropic halo]

otherwise we'll have nothing but surge force sword users

and that's the most boring thing on earth

[left mirage]

uh, the on hit one that gives power

that's the best one

[mild lotus]

when some funny axe is better in every way, yeah it does need some buffing

[shadow quail]

and the axe has a better push than the FS? and it's unlimited also?

[tropic halo]

come on now, lets be logical here

[left mirage]

let me have my funny space magic lumberjack rp please

[mild lotus]

if we're aiming at bringing some utility and uses to every weapons in a class' arsenal then pretty much all the weapons need a buff to keep up with the axe

[left mirage]

well, if they nerf axe you wont be catching me using anything but fs

[worthy wasp]

The best one imo is Limbsplitter (gives First Attack in chain a substantial boost)

After that, its your choice. Some prefer Brutal Momentum, others prefer more power

[left mirage]

then they'll nerf fs and you wont be seeing me on psyker at all

[mild lotus]

either that or nerf the mkV into oblivion to the point it becomes irrelevant

[worthy wasp]

Even if mk5 gets nerfed I wont touch FS

Psykinetic synergizes too well with non-force melees

[left mirage]

it'll be sad but i can make do with either thunder hammer zeal for the funny bonk or power sword veteran

[tropic halo]

you think reducing viable weapon options for the psyker is a good thing, tazerann?

[worthy wasp]

Passive quell + quietitude + kinetic deflection is legit arguably the strongest thing about the class

[raw breach]

Throne, have you seen Decimator though? 10-20% power on hit, stacks 5 times. Limbsplitter is a flat 25% power if you're only spamming PA

[left mirage]

become shield ogryn

[thin gull]

Veteran here, whoever was the Psyker that clutched in our game and died to a pox on top of a mutant, wanted to say good attempt, chat wasn't working but I saw you in action

[worthy wasp]

Run both, thats what I do

[mild lotus]

blocking melee with the force sword and psykinetic won't bring you anywhere near critical unless you don't counter attack at all and just passive tank the mobs

[left mirage]

yeah, decimator's what i run

[raw breach]

you're playing your Psyker like a melee tank though. I wanna use a force staff

[thin gull]

happened about 2 minutes ago

[mild lotus]

so the passive quelling won't be of any use anymore

[worthy wasp]

Spam the shit out of staff attacks, and instead of hitting the quell button to quell... weapon swap to your axe

[robust meteor]

i guess?

[left mirage]

yeah but then all id run would be FS then?

its either axe or fs

and if you take down axe, all we've got is fs

[robust meteor]

wish it had more toughness

[mild lotus]

Yes, most melee are irrelevant

every class has it's own 'above the rest' melee for a specific reason

[tropic halo]

that's okay? but the 10 damage resistance against snipers seems kinda useless unless you got another 10 or 15 percent

[worthy wasp]

Non-force melees quell fast af and allow you to defend yourself/contribute while quelling

[robust meteor]

it was my best chance at a solid longish term item

[mild lotus]

again, you won't get near critical peril unless you just tank and do nothing else

[worthy wasp]

Wtf kind of take is this

[mild lotus]

or unless you go into a pack of mobs after hitting critical already

[worthy wasp]

I regularly surge shit to 100 peril then weapon swap to melee

[left mirage]

i mean, no shit, we just want more viable melee options

[robust meteor]

i operate at critical peril most fights bc crit

[left mirage]

nerfing axe leads to less

[mild lotus]

well there's your issue

you surge spam to 100 peril

[tropic halo]

tazerann these are some pretty ridiculous takes. it's coming off like you just want fs to be more dominant and common

[worthy wasp]

My issue? I'm literally carrying t5s

Lmfao

[mild lotus]

my take is I tanked pack of mobs before with the force sword and I barely ever hit critical levels of peril ever

so I don't see why I'd need some passive quelling

I don't get what's ridiculous about it

[tropic halo]

.... what does that have to do with the fact you want the mk5 axe to be irrelevant?

[mild lotus]

never said I wanted it to be

[tropic halo]

you literally did

[mild lotus]

quote me on that

where did I say I want it to be?

[tropic halo]

this

[mild lotus]

I said it will probably be nerfed to irrelevancy

[mild lotus]

ok it seems my say has been interpreted wrongly

[raw breach]

alright , well i'm sorry i ever started this discussion about melee weapons. Going back to that comment that the Trauma staff is not as terrible as it is?

[tropic halo]

https://tenor.com/view/ginascantina-gif-24623482

[worthy wasp]

Just yesterday some dude accidently pulled a DH while we were fighting a mixed horde+a few specials due to it being high intensity, he and the zealot died.

It was just me and a vet. I pulled the DH into a corner, tanked the horde+DH... pushed and killed a hound that was trying to jump on me while I was doing so, and was able to also revive the 2 guys that went down

[mild lotus]

because I stated a few replies afterward that most melee are already irrelevant

[tropic halo]

i never seen it myself, and i wouldnt use it myself, but we have been sleeping on the knockdown apparently

[mild lotus]

and saying that I of course mean I find it not good

thought that was obvious

[worthy wasp]

Psyker is insanely good atm

That was in a t5

[mild lotus]

the point of having a big arsenal is to have choices you can take to suit your play style

[vital bough]

Which one do I turn purple? Only got enough for one atm

[raw breach]

I'll still pass on everything about it. It's the same as Sienna's trash staff in VT2, if it were Coruscation staff that left flame patches that applied soulblaze, Fatshark might actually have a contender, but until then I'll stick with my chain lightning stunlock

[mild lotus]

and as such I never ever meant for all other melee except FS to be irrelevant

[tropic halo]

the right one, it seems like

[mild tartan]

I’ve seen better thrust rolls but decapitator seems better there

Not sure

[worthy wasp]

One on the right, easily

[tropic halo]

wait

[mild tartan]

Listen to them lol

[robust meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq4rHuhBpcs

[tropic halo]

bah i didnt read the blesings

right one has better stats but yeah, left one has the better blessing.

[cyan notch]

gunners drain/give you a lot of peril

[mild lotus]

also it would be cool when quoting me to take the full context with it but I guess you missed that reply

[worthy wasp]

Go for stats, change blessing when crafting is added later

[vital bough]

Yeah kinda why I'm torn on it

[worthy wasp]

Ye force sword is overrated

[cyan notch]

i think its rated

[worthy wasp]

Its strong, but def not meta atm

Well, not the only option I should say that works well in damn

[mild tartan]

Using mk v axe just feels too good

[worthy wasp]

I've been running tac axes

[robust meteor]

watch the video i posted to see something no other set up can do

[boreal wave]

Kind of silly that the dedicated force melee weapon doesn't quell particularly fast innit

[worthy wasp]

Just to get a feel

[vital bough]

That's what I got now, not too bad imo

[mild lotus]

that was my thought too but thinking about it it probably has something to do with balance

[vital bough]

20% on 2 of the most common enemies

[mild lotus]

force weapon auto quelling fast would mean you could spam spells from staves without down times or at least smaller ones

now that hurts the FSword more than anything but I get why they did so

[tacit fractal]

Same

[tropic halo]

force sword with the unlimited dodges and only range weapon blocking ability outside of slab shield and the high damage weapon special needs a buff. it needs faster auto quelling on top of that. because it needs to compete with an axe that can't do any of that. oh, and the force push that knocks down anything that isnt an ogryn

[dusky smelt]

whats the best axe type for psyker?

[mild tartan]

Quell basically allows that on staff

[sterile lake]

My guess is because of peril Block and passive Auto Quell, but I never tried it

[tropic halo]

that's what you were getting at, tazerann?

[tacit fractal]

Mk V

Antax

[mild lotus]

ok I guess I'm definitely the ridiculous one then

[wicked jewel]

force push attack can knock down crushers

[tropic halo]

well there ya go

yeah that definitely needs more, i guess.

[mild lotus]

that was irony justi n case that flew over your head

[tropic halo]

i mean, come on now

[worthy wasp]

Nice! Ye, FS is king of clutch revives

[tacit fractal]

Antax Mk V Combat Axe kinetic deflect is also

[tropic halo]

im sitting here with a dueling sword with my only real perk being maneuverability and speed and you're acting like the mk5 axe is stealing bread from your table

[mild lotus]

but the team mate you revive dies as soon as they get back up because you revived them in a swarm

[ornate hamlet]

Store RNG give me an axe challenge (not possible)

[wicked jewel]

skill issue

[worthy wasp]

Right, hence mk5

[ornate hamlet]

I sure am glad Psyker has access to every single autogun and lasgun variant so I never see good melees or staves

[mild lotus]

I mean, everyone agrees it's turbo broken and a cut above the rest in terms of melee capabilities

so you tell me

[worthy wasp]

In a perfect world, you shouldnt need the clutch revives

[tacit fractal]

In a perfect world you push the swarm the second you pick the teammate up

[zenith fox]

https://i.imgur.com/sIMKYGW.png got this availible for psyker

[mild lotus]

I do

[raw breach]

What's the difference in the 3 dueling swords? i didn't even realize it had 3 variants

[mild lotus]

but the teammate doesn't

and stays there

[tropic halo]

okay maybe it is, but the force sword clearly has other very amazing functions while the axe has none of that. mayeb the push blocking with the axe gets a bit much, but other than that, you're kinda crying wolf here a little

[tacit fractal]

Move attack kit

And damage output

[worthy wasp]

Mk4 and mk5 are the best.

Mk4 has best horde clear, Mk5 has best mobility and the best moveset vs elites

[mild lotus]

ok you have to tell me how I am crying wolf

[tropic halo]

i have been for the past ten minutes?

[robust meteor]

heart was pumpin, we went on to win the mission

[mild lotus]

because other than telling the axe is probably going to get nerfed soon and that most melee for most classes are irrelevant

[tacit fractal]

More functions doesn’t mean it better, just look at Ramattra in ow2

[mild lotus]

I didn't do anything else

[raw breach]

and antrax mk 5 is good for clearing hordes by spamming push attacks? or do you actually use other attacks too?

[worthy wasp]

Ye FS has a lot of utility axe doesnt have. Axe is only good on Psyker because Kinetic Deflection+Quietitude

[mild lotus]

yeah you've been telling me how I am a crying something and ridiculous, doesn't mean I get why I would be to you

[raw breach]

So aside from combat axe being able to tank way harder, FS is better?

[worthy wasp]

Good for clearing everything with its push attack

[tropic halo]

in the force sword's case, those functions are really, really useful.

[worthy wasp]

Heavies are great vs carapace

So you heavy > block cancel > repeat

Or

Spam push attack

Because its push is that good

[raw breach]

ahh so it's like preacher with combat knife mk3?

[robust meteor]

fatshark has a thing for push attack on axes

[worthy wasp]

Better horde clear, better quell, better vs elites than FS

[raw breach]

just push attack spam everrything to win

[robust meteor]

being really good

[left mirage]

push attack spam mixed hordes / hordes

[tacit fractal]

I get it, both Antrax and FS are amazing with their own personal builds and playstyles, if you succeed in the mission you’re doing and you’re going fire in the combat it doesn’t matter what you use or what others use, if y’all are having fun that’s the main part

[left mirage]

heavy and alt fire on big armored bois like crushers / maulers

[raw breach]

what other feats do you run then with combat axe?

[worthy wasp]

With non-force melee... instead of pressing quell button when you need to quell just weapon swap

[mild lotus]

it doesn't matter much what you run aside from the psykinectic block + quietitude

[tropic halo]

okay lets ignore the points ive been making, i guess. i dont wanna debate all night, let's agree to disagree.

[worthy wasp]

it does matter

I'll explain

[tacit fractal]

Everyone has their own rights to have your own opinions

[tacit fractal]

Don’t

[robust meteor]

to quell, i swap to the highest rate weapon im using

[mild lotus]

most of your points were interpreting what I said

[robust meteor]

my FS is god roll except for quell rate, so i swap to a staff

[worthy wasp]

Quietitude + Kinetic Deflection = Peril to block, Peril to toughness

Psychic Communion + Kinetic Flayer + Inner Tranquility = You passively gain charges and keep them refreshed for 12% more damage and 24% more warp resist (more staff spam)

The last one because its the only ult that doesnt waste all your charges

[tropic halo]

honey i just said i dont wanna debate all night. i mentioned all the perks of the force sword, you say the mk5 axe is super ultra powerful. so i list the perks of the force sword that no other weapon has, you say big whoop, what else can i tell ya?

[mild lotus]

What I want really is for every melee to have its use and viability, and even if the mkV stays op, I won't fret over it other than feel disappointed that most melee are irrelevant and that there's little reason to run anything else

[mild lotus]

You're making such a big deal of it like I'm some kind of preacher or something

[worthy wasp]

you already do 10% more damage vs elites just for being a psyker

so the +12% brings you to +22%

makes your push attacks hit like a mack truck

[mild lotus]

until last patch, the passive was bugged I think

it didn't work on yourself I believe

[tropic halo]

i was just having a discussion and you said something i disagreed with, so i listed points

[worthy wasp]

and peril block/peril toughness lets you spam push attacks due to being able to substitute peril for stam

[bronze pulsar]

holy crap after 6 hours finally got pick n mix with 3 bots

[mild lotus]

labelling my says and 'takes' as ridiculous is listing points to you?

[bronze pulsar]

anybody trying to do that penance you have my deepest sympathy

[tropic halo]

if you're offended, im sorry, but yeah i thought your takes were ridiculous

[worthy wasp]

this is how I carry t5s, w/ or w/o mk5... I've been running tac axes lately in place of the mk5

[worthy wasp]

the takes were ridiculous tbqh

[tropic halo]

just like some think gun wizards are ridiculous. it's just my opinion

and yeah, agreed there @worthy wasp

[sterile lake]

I know that feel, sometimes you need to upgrade a weapon just so you can play on the next difficulty or something
Had to Upgrade a staff yesterday because for 4 hours there was no viable New weapon for me in the shop and I wanted to start playing malice

[tropic halo]

im not out to attack your character, honey. just thought that was a bad take.

[mild lotus]

alright then I guess that stating how if the axe lost its OP push attacks, it would become near useless is ridiculous

[worthy wasp]

Watch that vid @robust meteor posted above, FS has shitloads of utility that non-force weapons dont have. If it quelled as fast as non-force weapons thatd be broken as shit

[tropic halo]

you really want this to keep going, huh? again, let's agree to disagree. you keep saying what you were saying earlier to other people, and if they agree with ya, i'll eat my shoe. i could use a snack.

[rustic viper]

Played an assasin mission with 3 other siblings... the power is real

[worthy wasp]

FS is hands down the best Psyker melee, other melees are just good because a combination of talents

[gritty perch]

still trying to get the out with a bang penance

[cyan notch]

i think its kind of silly you just spam one move forever with the axe too

[gritty perch]

its so infuriating

I can only kill like two at once

never 3

[worthy wasp]

Mk5 wouldnt be able to spam its absurd push attacks if it couldnt use peril to block

[mild lotus]

pretty easy to throw stuff at others and then dip out like it's nothing at all, where I'm from you don't straight up tell someone what they say is ridiculous

[tropic halo]

we have been talking... for a hour now

[mild lotus]

yes, so?

[bronze pulsar]

same this is my last one but i tink its way easier than pick n mix, in my head anyway

[gritty perch]

yeah but in practice? 3 elites in the same spot ?

[bronze pulsar]

my plan rn is to find a 3 rager spawn on damnation and just lighting staff it until i overload

[gritty perch]

they kill me before I blow up

[bronze pulsar]

lightning staff will stun them

[worthy wasp]

lmao wtf is this roll

[compact cargo]

can get 8 in Heresy

[mild lotus]

You probably won't be alone

[gritty perch]

yeah my allies KILL all of them too fast

[mild lotus]

if your teammates don't help you, the run is mostly doomed anyway in t5

[ornate hamlet]

The heaviest axe on the Mourningstar is yours to bear

[mild lotus]

is mobility such a big deal on axes?

the other stats are kind of alright I suppose

[gritty perch]

I don't do it in t5

too scared

I'm level 25 and my gear's blue

[mild lotus]

gear isn't as determining as your team from my experience

[bronze pulsar]

eh wait until 30 then. pick n mix is gonna be the bottleneck most likely, that one is total BS

[hot ice]

you can do damnation on blue gear

[mild lotus]

but since most people avoid t5, you mostly start missions with 3 bots

[rustic viper]

Yeah i'd say with a coherent team that knows individually what they're doing according to their roles, 90% dependant on that 😄

[tropic halo]

you took me calling one of your takes ridiculous. you took it personally, maybe. i dunno, already apologized for the misunderstanding on top of it. so if where you're from doesn't accept that, then i dunno, don't really care for when you're from. if that don't do it for ya, oh well.

[mild lotus]

and playing with 3 bots in t5 is terrible

[gritty perch]

bots on damnation? rip

[mild lotus]

but then again I often play at preposterous times of the day

[tropic halo]

they really gotta buff plasteel

[mild lotus]

maybe it hurts more than anything else

[gritty perch]

dammit wish I could do a premade

[mild lotus]

playing with a group of people you know solves most issues you may have in game

[hot ice]

this

[gritty perch]

yeah all the people who I know that play it are all on at different times

[hot ice]

premades are great

[mild lotus]

at least you know people that play Darktide

[gritty perch]

hah

they're not right now though.

[mild lotus]

I heard a guy say most of his friends are grown up COD kids

they play COD 24/7 and he is the only one that cares about anything else

[young summit]

is it only the force sword that can get the perk to block ranged?

[dusky smelt]

yes

[mild lotus]

so far yes

but other melee force weapons are coming and they'll probably have it too

[hard breach]

Source?

[mild lotus]

made it up

[gritty perch]

heh

[hot ice]

the trailer :)

[mild lotus]

jk I hold it from people telling the chat about it

[gritty perch]

probably not wrong though, I'd say speculation like that is pretty safe

[mild lotus]

• yeah from the trailer you can see a big force sword

probably a 2 handed one

[gritty perch]

unlike the "they'll fix faces and achievements you know"

that'll NEVER happen. no studio does that 🤣

[young summit]

Ah so i have to pick between silly push on the mkV or fake jedi with the force sword. 😦

[gritty perch]

these faces are here to stay. the achievements? maybe

but that's a pretty hard maybe

[mild lotus]

and it would be very odd long term wise if darktide never added new force melee weapons to the psyker

[dusky smelt]

i think theyve already datamined a 2handed force sword

[gritty perch]

would be nice to get a stalker bolter too

[mild lotus]

what do you mean by faces?

[gritty perch]

and a heavy flamer

and a few other weapons

[hard breach]

Not happening since they gave us flames already

[gritty perch]

faces. the face models on characters. most of the faces look...proportionately awkward. normal human male and female face structures.

[dusky smelt]

i think the male ones are fine

[hard breach]

If anthing heavy flamer will be for ogryn

[dusky smelt]

ill give you that there are like 2 decent female faces

[mild lotus]

ah, well I think the faces are alright my only concern is that 3/4 are ugly af

[gritty perch]

yeah. "gritty" doesn't equal "deformed jawline"

[dusky smelt]

i wish theyd update hair theres like 4 versions of bald

[mild lotus]

50 shades of baldy

[gritty perch]

you can make a decent looking face, THEN add weathering. pocket markes. acne marks. people who didn't get access to good skin care, etc

[dusky smelt]

theres enough variety for good males i think

[gritty perch]

I do this for my fallout characters. make a person look half decent, then add scars, damage, weathering marks, add a rough looking beard.

or in the case of a woman, no beard, obviously xD

had to specify that in case anyone thought I was talking about nord women

[mild lotus]

kinda sexist

[gritty perch]

[dusk pilot]

Dwarven women

[dusky smelt]

i do hope they give us some hair under the hood i changed my face tats to hide my 5 head

[dusk pilot]

rock and stone

[vague quail]

Enlighten me on deflector forceswords and why they should be used over rapiers please, I don't get it.

[wise pecan]

Bullets hurt

[sterile lake]

Would be pretty cool if they added so many weapons that at the end you could not decide which one to use

[dusky smelt]

dueling swords are 100% better than force swords in every way but cool factor

[gritty perch]

has anyone named their Ogryn THE BOULDER

[mild lotus]

duel swords have great mobility with their lunge attack but it mostly comes down to what YOU want from your melee

[vague quail]

There isn't some deflector tech that cannot be achieved by not using the Ogryn as meatcover, or, god forbid a chest hight wall?

[cyan notch]

yea i use it cuz its cool

yes, clutch revives

Holding M2 and then ressing? 😮

[mild lotus]

not even holding down anything

just res with your melee out and it auto deflects

[dusky smelt]

kinetic deflection with deflector makes it we can tank

[dusk pilot]

I wonder if the Rejects will take on a lone Plague Marine at some point

[hard breach]

Most likely not

[mild lotus]

From what I heard, it's been stated there won't be any astartes at any point

not allies nor enemies

[sterile lake]

You are probably right about this
Balancing takes time and it makes sense for devs to avoid a meta that forces your weapon choices

[dusky smelt]

have they said anything about changing worlds?

[bronze pulsar]

i solo a monstrosity i feel like a plague marine wouldnt be too bad. in fact i feel like at this point given i've killed a billion bad guys they should just make me the inquisitor

or at least stop calling me varlet

[dusky smelt]

imagine we change worlds for awhile and get like ork hordes

[dusk pilot]

I'd like it if we changed worlds, got mixed up in other chaos groups/tyranids/orks

Taking on genestealer cults

[vague quail]

Thanks guys 👍

[hard breach]

Nope but we're trying to save tertium so feels we're unlikely to leave

[candid mesa]

That would be a high bar to make

[hard breach]

Unless doing so helps the cause

[mild lotus]

gotta know the term darktide designate in the new lore the waves of heretic and xeno attack in the sector of Atoma prime

so the coming of a WAAAAAAGH isn't that far fetched and it would suit the horde gameplay very well on paper

same goes for a tyranid invasion

[hard breach]

Vox mentions xenos. Likely genestealer cultists

[dusk pilot]

It would be interesting to somehow throw in another chaos group into the mix though, not really sure which I'd pick Khorne seems easier

[dusky smelt]

Vore

[mild lotus]

[dusk pilot]

slaanesh cults would be interesting

[gritty perch]

NO DONT

oops cap locks

[twilit path]

yES

[dusk pilot]

I'd vote for either Khorne cults or slaanesh cults tbh

[cyan notch]

fascinating

[wise pecan]

Also, importantly, you can’t rely on specific classes to be there for you. Oftentimes there just isn’t an ogryn, or the ogryn was the one who got downed, or they’re downed because there wasn’t cover

[dusk pilot]

Khorne just makes sense, he's all smash smash

blood etc

[lethal raptor]

Is a soul blaze build with purge staff at level 30 worth it? I'm currently running force sword with deflector and a voidstrike staff, level 30 soul blaze talent got me interested.

[dusky smelt]

baalbuddy made a comic about darktide where the chars were all horny for slanesh cults before finding out were fighting nurgies

[gritty perch]

tzeench is change. change is survival!

Or used differently i'd say rather in sentences dunno what the english equivalent is though

you... suns of bitcheszzzz

it doesn't ring psyker to me at all

most of the psyker's arsenal doesn't ring psyker I'd say

yeah but a chainsword in general is still badass

PSYCKER ROUND and ROUND

[lethal raptor]

Maybe you need a good staff (crit + soul blaze on crit). I'll try it out when I hit 30

[wise pecan]

How do I unlock alternative colour for psykanna hood? Im at lvl25 and I don't see any options in cosmetic store

[wise pecan]

Every soulblaze perk but the level 30 one is terrible at dealing damage yeah

[dusk pilot]

Also I just looked up some concept art from darktide and there's a lot of stuff that looks great

[hard breach]

I like setting things on psychic fire

[mild lotus]

however giving laspistol and revolvers to the psyker still fits in my mind, too bad they feel bland and ull when compared to a magic staff

[dusk pilot]

EMBED FAILURE

Store stocks hoods at 30

[dusky smelt]

i think the staffs are in an ok place i do wish soulblaze gets buffed and bb gets its cd reduced and scales with difficulty

the surge is imo too spammy and pretty dull to use

Oh no however will i kill the heretics now? With my mind!

the few cosmetics from open beta disapeared

Honestly I'm surprised they don't just add in a way to recolour outfits you have, instead of selling them as separate outfits.

Just seems ass backwards

[twilit path]

It's not the damage I'm complaining about. I just don't wanna spam lighting all the time. So I wanna use Fire.

[uncut sable]

ok

[dusk pilot]

I guess the Zealot was supposed to have a staff at some point?

[dusky smelt]

we use that button to pop heads (on low diffs)

psyker's grenade is the brain burst ability

[twilit path]

Space Man looking ass

[tropic halo]

lucky zealots

they get all the drip now

[digital beacon]

glorious

[mild lotus]

toilet bowl collar

[wise pecan]

To be fair, the top on that one looks great imo

[scarlet lily]

I just want this upper body..

[boreal wave]

I'd really like the staff melee function to be replaced by a psychic torch thing, like the savant does in the beginning of the trailer with the fire in his hand. Would help with lights out missions.

[tropic halo]

same, sibling. same.

[twilit path]

Now that's drip

[scarlet lily]

The arm wires into the gloves

[dusky smelt]

zealots penance armor is better than there shop ones imo

[mild lotus]

malleus monstronum's gear is very good indeed

[scarlet lily]

I don't like malleus cause

The tubes on the gloves connect to nothing

[dusky smelt]

isnt that the 90% a boss on t4

[twilit path]

I feel like the Penance isn't that bad to get, but I know in practice you'll will lose it

[scarlet lily]

Once you notice..

[mild lotus]

it is

[scarlet lily]

Not the one in the image

@psykers fucking rule

[mild lotus]

I was lucky enough to get a pub group willing to sit down and watch me solo a boss for 3 mins

[bronze pulsar]

you can get malleus pretty easy with a LFG group, its not super out of the way to get it done

[mild lotus]

So now I got my great chestpiece

[leaden needle]

pick n mix is way harder than malleus

[wise pecan]

Do they connect into nothing, or are they just connecting into the psyker’s body? Genuine question, haven’t gotten a look at malleus

[scarlet lily]

The malleus ones are just open

[twilit path]

Funny enough, I think Demonhost might be the best one to do it on if you have a Shield Ogryn

[scarlet lily]

Like rubber tubing that isn't connected to anything

[mild lotus]

from experience, the shield ogryn is always in another lobby from mine

[digital beacon]

only psykers can handle trve cinema https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E5KYJzXDro&t=6s

[bronze pulsar]

yeah, i have all the penances for armor for zealot / psyker so far, and pick and mix was by farrrrrr the most annoying to get

[dusky smelt]

i hate these penances

[bronze pulsar]

like it took more effort than all the others combined

[mild lotus]

the rng needed for pick n mix is absurd

[twilit path]

Cause of all the hordes that get in the way

[dusky smelt]

they make you play counter intuitively

[mild lotus]

same goes for out with a bang I find

[twilit path]

ONE of the problems

[leaden needle]

yeah theyve change dit from 10s to 12s but i think they should just reduce it to 4 elites

5 is just too hjard rng to get

[dusky smelt]

12 secs i think is the min time with the 30 perk active i think

[bronze pulsar]

yeah its RNG and you can get screwed up by teammates, enemies, pathing, a million things lol

[twilit path]

Which enemies are the Elite ones?

[dusky smelt]

you can do specialists too

[leaden needle]

gunners shotgunners prety much

since you one shot those on heresy+

[mild lotus]

maulers too

[twilit path]

What about Ragers?

[dusky smelt]

they all count

[river sand]

everything you can tag is considered elite

[twilit path]

lol

[twilit path]

Ah

[bronze pulsar]

it can be specialists too. the problem is on the difficulties you do it at, you can only 1 shot shotgunners, gunners, and trappers. eveyrthing else you have to set up with some pre damage, or not be part of the 5

[twilit path]

Then what is a Specialist?

[opaque nebula]

what is best psiker build for damage dealing

[dusk pilot]

The pipes are like copper piping inside of a laptop to negate heat, it helps the psyker negate warp energy

[mild lotus]

bombers too as well as snipers

[dusk pilot]

(I pulled that lore tidbit out of my ass)

[digital beacon]

lol

oi bubsy

[river sand]

specialist are the guys that randomly spawn. like mutants, flamers, hounds, the guys with net etc...

[digital beacon]

oi davey

[mild lotus]

good luck getting all those in a line tho

[bronze pulsar]

yeah i forgot about those, you're right those too

[leaden needle]

i tihnk purg staff for hordes, but overall id say voidstrike wins out

[digital beacon]

that shit is skakespeare

[river sand]

elites are there all the time

[twilit path]

Ah, the ones with a sound queue

[dusky smelt]

im pretty sure shotguns and shit are specialists while elites are like crushers

[digital beacon]

only trve psykers are here

[leaden needle]

https://i.imgur.com/E8cANQI.png this is my drip, never changing that helmet lmao

[dusky smelt]

if it looks like a normal dude with a diff weapon its a specialist

[digital beacon]

lmao

[dusky smelt]

DRIP

[bronze pulsar]

you win

[twilit path]

Elites are the bigger heavy armour dudes.

Specials are the ones that show in the kill feed outside of bosses.

[digital beacon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JwPXSKXUuE

[dusky smelt]

it kinda looks like joe biden

[river sand]

elites (at least for pick n mix) are all taggable enemies. specialst are elites that spawn randomly time to time. (hounds, flamers, mutants etc..) standard elites are like maulers, maniacs, crusher, reaper etc. those just run around on the map and dont respawn

[digital beacon]

psykick pysykick

pyskcik pyskick

only tru psykers know the about this

[patent steeple]

This is not related to psykers, the moderators should to something about it.

[river sand]

pick n mix is acutally pretty easy, going out with a bang is pretty hard without premade group for this

[mild lotus]

what is this individual on about?

[dusky smelt]

without a bang is easy you just extra horde modifier

[scarlet lily]

Are stamina "bars" split into 2? +3 stamina curios give me the same stamina as +2..

[digital beacon]

pyskik pyskik psykik psykil psyki'k

[dusky smelt]

plus its on malice

[mild lotus]

it's either a bug or there's a hidden max stamina stat somewhere

[magic gull]

got a 7 meter terrifying barrage on my staff after upgrade to legendary, prob ahve to stick with it till reblessing is out

does the surpressing actually work?

[river sand]

but you need your elites near death already for going out with a bang, cause the explosion alone can kill nothing

[mild lotus]

yes and it's actually pretty good

[leaden needle]

how is it easy it takes hours of resets

[digital beacon]

Oi, davy

[mild lotus]

suppression can stop dead in their track trash mobs about to smack you

[magic gull]

if it stops horde just running at me it might be good. since its a surge staff. i can deal with elites, but i get overwhelmed by hordes

[digital beacon]

this channel is for only psyker skins

[bronze pulsar]

pick n mix too me literally as long as all the other psyker and zealot penances combined

[scarlet lily]

If I equip 2 +2s I get 5 bars in total, 5 as well if I use a +2 and a +3 stamina

[bronze pulsar]

but i also did it solo so it was liek 5 hours of resets

[river sand]

perfect place is the mission where you gotta secure that train station with anti air. right before you jump down to the last event there are like 10 elites in sight

[scarlet lily]

Buggy I guess

[digital beacon]

oi bugsy

"i hate berries"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v6kWJd8Vw4

[mild lotus]

penances overall are pretty odd for half of them

[twilit path]

Ah yes, """Odd"""

[bronze pulsar]

yeah, i really dislike the penance system but it bugs me if i dont finish them too so its really grimdark

[digital beacon]

"I fucking hate berries!"

[sterile lake]

Your "grenade" is the brain burst ability

[twilit path]

This truly be a Grimdark moment

[digital beacon]

only true psykers get that

[river sand]

last thing missing for me is going out with a bang 😭

[twilit path]

So no.

[digital beacon]

this literally might be the dopest shit i've ever been apart of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v6kWJd8Vw4

[patent steeple]

alright then can someone please call the mods here for some purging of irrelevant topics? you dont have to but i would appreciate it!

[digital beacon]

not I

[digital beacon]

woah!

psyker, psyker psker,

[patent steeple]

I know i could call the mods, but i am too shy. 😭

[digital beacon]

psyker psyker pskyer plsyker

hell yeah. excellent

[gray island]

looks like someone looked to deep into the warp

[digital beacon]

muhahah

dude. my problem is it's too hard to make friends.

[gritty perch]

got my penance

on like the worst map ever

[digital beacon]

i wanna play with skin psykers

[gritty perch]

the investigation one with the scanning

[mild lotus]

some penances are harder than others

[gritty perch]

and following the servo skull through an infested hab with an endless horde

that one's a bit overtuned xD

[vague quail]

@mild lotus alright this forcesword thing is busted and the hype thing makes sense now, ressed, by coincidence the Ogre in the middle of a horde with the deflector sword out.... 30 levels without knowing this, lmao. Thank you.

[digital beacon]

holy fuck this shit rules

[twilit path]

I just wished it had some better Crowd Control

[vague quail]

That's exactly why I'm a flame staff boy

[mild lotus]

FSword CC is already pretty good

[digital beacon]

goddamn we need a thing where all of us fucking lunatics can be together

[gritty perch]

Is there anywhere you can view the types of missions you've completed on each difficulty?

[mild lotus]

with your force sword out, you technically can't go down in melee unless you open your guard or are in the middle of a crowded room

[gritty perch]

or a statistics page section

[mild lotus]

if you put you back against a wall you're virtually unkillable

[gritty perch]

that would be handy

[digital beacon]

jfc perfect fucking shit

[vague quail]

If psyker is your only char you can go to the mission page. Otherwise you are kinda hosed.

[gritty perch]

only because enemies wont spawn inside your character frame. oh wait

[vague quail]

And if you are missing one mission, it's always espionage or disruption 🙂

[mild lotus]

yeah enemies pop behind your back all the time

it's annoying

[digital beacon]

not my only. my only that i love, but psykers have great taste so..

[mild lotus]

mine was repair

2 days I waited for a t4 repair mission

[gritty perch]

enemies need to spawn from a source, then the enemies should arrive to your party from that source

[digital beacon]

psy psy psy psy psy

[gritty perch]

not just spawn in random locations the camera isn't currently targeting

[mild lotus]

thought for a time that I was an idiot, not seeing enemies where I looked

[digital beacon]

literally the greatest time i've ever had online

[mild lotus]

but nope, the enemies really pop anywhere

[mild lotus]

#ogryn-class

[gritty perch]

its more realistic, and encourages better responses. one typical mantra of service of any kind, is "check your corners", which exists for a reason, when you create enemies that spawn in thin air right behind you after clearing a room, you're violating a clear rule of engagement, unless that enemy actually spawned from another source to sneak behind you.

[digital beacon]

goddamn. what a glorious event

[gritty perch]

and I realize video games aren't reality, but a certain level of reality in terms of combat engagements would exist, unless they some how change in the future

[digital beacon]

😎

[tropic halo]

if you pull off the mask of the grunts that spawn behind you, you'll see it's actually the cops from cyberpunk 2077 all along

[digital beacon]

holy fuck. this is the greatest fucking shit ever

psy psty psty psy psy psy

[gritty perch]

...I knew it.

[sterile lake]

But how would you fit so many 😁

[mild lotus]

video games aren't reality but they need to hold a certain level of logic for them to be enjoyable, they need "rules of the game" so to speak

[digital beacon]

psy psy psy psy psyt

[tropic halo]

yeah and they would've gotten away with it too if it werent for you meddling rejects

[mild lotus]

but the spawning of enemies doesn't follow rules or at least not fair ones

[digital beacon]

omg

i love y'all

ughh

[bright cipher]

you aint from cadia if you dont do this

[gritty perch]

[digital beacon]

ooooouuuuughhhhghh

[hard breach]

You're not from cadia. You've not seem the other kind. Poor little guardsman

[gritty perch]

🔪

[severe dove]

Can you turn off the thump sound for hitting 100 peril? It gets annoying when hovering between 85 and 100 for like 3 minutes for psykinetic's wrath lol

[gray island]

think im gonna make 5 psyker classes just so i can farm shop rotations better

[mild lotus]

yes you can, just turn the volume to 0

[craggy breach]

ok i was totally wrong about the lightning staff

[gritty perch]

I like the thump sound. I don't pay attention to the very clear and obvious number going up right in the center of the screen and I actually rely on it kek

[bright cipher]

WHOOORRGHGRHGRHGHRGHR

[digital beacon]

❤️

[craggy breach]

someone told me it was good i thought it was trash, i stand corrected
