psyker-class

[magic hull]

they do spawn behind u tho

wdym

[wise pecan]

Well, the game does sometimes just spawn shit right behind you, but it probably is generally just ignored/visually missed enemies

[magic hull]

also vet is psykers best fren

:)))

[runic hornet]

there's flank spawns who then take doors to get behind you, and a few weird mid-air spawns, but the idea that the director actually spawns enemies in backstab range is a myth

[magic hull]

yeh especially on high intensity ones

[runic hornet]

unless you actually have your back to a door

(stop putting your back to a door)

[digital pagoda]

It's actually true, or at least was though

[magic hull]

if i have amazing game sense i would have already

[compact cargo]

No sources prove this

[digital pagoda]

Happened consistently when pulling out the staff or ranged weapon

[compact cargo]

Only spawns are doors that are loud af

[runic hornet]

It's true that the game will spawn mobs that will slowly run around to your flank/back

[digital pagoda]

Never if you sticked to the staff for long

[compact cargo]

and some fencing*

[magic hull]

it does actually. enemies does pop out, i can confirm it

[runic hornet]

That's why you'll be killing horde and then sudenly there's like ~5 poxwalkers molesting your veteran

[magic hull]

like popping into existence

[compact cargo]

Enemies only pop out in ambush and that 1 desert map.

[glossy bough]

Oh I've definitely seen enemies spawn right in my face, like poof

[runic hornet]

however "slowly" becomes "rapidly" when the vet's back is to a door, because the flank spawn uses the door to get to you

[wise pecan]

There’s a video of a zealot with a thunder hammer going around a perfectly empty corner and suddenly getting hit by enemies that straight up weren’t there. He kills the enemy, looks around, turns to follow his teammates, gets whacked again. Repeats a third time. The game does absolutely backstab spawn enemies mid-swing

[glossy bough]

It's quite wack

[runic hornet]

Enemies can spawn in a few relatively conspicuous midair locations but they're few and far between https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/JVt1h43JuI4C7/d1337ZfgEMag?invite=cr-MSx2aG4sNDg2MDU3NTUs

[magic hull]

eh

no

[compact cargo]

Proof.

[runic hornet]

this one is the "center of the train assination mission's penultimate tile"

just before hte long hallway to the last medicae

It's right in the very center of the room

[digital pagoda]

If you want proof, go on any high difficulty map, stick to the back of your team, and switch from brainbursting enemies to staff

[runic hornet]

if you get an "ambush" horde, they'll spawn there

[digital pagoda]

3 seconds after swapping to staff turn around

[compact cargo]

Never happens to me

[magic hull]

find it yourself im too lazy to prove trivial shit to strangers lol srr

aint got time for that

[compact cargo]

Can't prove it, got it.

[magic hull]

sure live your lie

[cyan notch]

there are some areas that are notorious for just spawning enemies in your face

[runic hornet]

Most of the air-spawns are very conspicuously in the centermost areas of specific rooms

[wise pecan]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z5h8zv/fatshark_please_fix_this/

[magic hull]

but im sure as times goes by theyll fix these spawns (right>?)

[compact cargo]

I'm sorry but if your excuse to been hit is enemy spawns behind me big swing and u got no proof, then I think I know who has the issue.

[magic hull]

faith in chubbyshark

[runic hornet]

and these get people because they expect spawns to come out of doors or dropdowns so they stand "in the open" thinking that there won't be any sneaky entrance there

[magic hull]

cool, anyways

[runic hornet]

joke's on them, the very center of the open room is designated as a potential spawn

[compact cargo]

Think air spawns are reserved to special, that spot in station and the one in the hourglass hangar only spawn elites/specials

[magic hull]

i usually only see these happens once a while in high intensity maps

[runic hornet]

also yeah that corner is an airspawn

there's combat happening elsewhere

so the director is literally spawning extra mobs because combat is happening

those are the flankspawns

[summer prairie]

I've seen air spawns when entering a new area and moving the camera back and forth

right in front of me

[magic hull]

also is the hound getting coked? the dog seems to jump like crazy now

[runic hornet]

what's "unintentional" is that those are the flank spawns meant to run at the zealot's teammates up ahead

[compact cargo]

That desert map is quite bugged, books, grims and spawns

[fallow meadow]

I most see air spawn in a group

[summer prairie]

it was the desert assassination

err

[runic hornet]

except, because the team is spread out, the zealot player is there to get immediately backstabbed by them

[summer prairie]

no sewer

[severe folio]

wait so hold on

what blessing should i pursuit on purg staff ?

[runic hornet]

It's same deal as these specials #psyker-class message those specials are spawning to attack my teammates who are already at the medicae

[wise pecan]

I don’t see why they need to be airspawns in the first place. There’s always plenty of monster closets that they could use instead

[fallow meadow]

I have seen multiple time that item can't be pick in desert map.

[compact cargo]

Fatshark tradition with specials at this point, altho vt2 used to have them more on cliffs, not middle of walk areas

[runic hornet]

in vermintide 2 people hate fighting beastmen because full beastmen hordes boil out of thin air

[compact cargo]

Didn't people hate beastmen because of the long range stab/headbutt anim?

[runic hornet]

These airspawns are honestly about the same tier, and hoenstly more respectful than "literally a whole horde"

[magic hull]

yep happened to me as well. the moment i looked away

[dense wasp]

Hey fellow psykers, what would you guys roll, when the option is available?

[runic hornet]

that's fixed now, but the "horde from a broomcloset" isn't

beastmen were given their own spawn locations that aren't shared with the skaven/chaos spawn locations and it shows

[wise pecan]

Like I don’t mind enemies spawning behind to flank, that just makes sense, but airspawns have no reason to exist when monster closets can be put literally anywhere

[runic hornet]

because the person in charge of doing the beastmen spawns was much lazier

and now that same person was clearly in charge of darktide spawns

[severe folio]

amazing

[runic hornet]

"if player is here, then airspawn a mob here to attack them in the back after a short run"

and he never thought about what would happen if another player was standing right there

[compact cargo]

"fixed"

[runic hornet]

No, the attacks really are

[compact cargo]

They won't pop in ur face, but they will pop 5m infront of you still

[runic hornet]

Spear gors now have to be slotted

[compact cargo]

Oh thought u meant hte hordes xd

[fallow meadow]

I would want to change the blessings.

[dense wasp]

Suppresion?

[runic hornet]

And the gor headbutt and punch now look extremely janky, because they literally just took the keyframes of the animation and slowed them the fuck down

[dense wasp]

I ve tested suppresion and its actualy very usefull

[runic hornet]

now isntead of "i got hit so fast I couldn't react" it's "the gor moved so weird I didn't realize he was attacking me until a full second later"

[compact cargo]

"I dodged too early used to the old timing" is a classic

Remember suppresion doesn't work on the kantrael rifles

[runic hornet]

anyway the point is the director isn't TRYING to spawn enemies meleeing you in the ass

it's trying to spawn enemies to run up to your teammates

you just happen to be trailing behind or looting in a side room

so they facecheck YOU instead

[fallow meadow]

Both, I would like to have more damage rather than cc on Force staff.

[compact cargo]

Still trying to figure out how dog/mutant targeting works if it's rng or damage based

[runic hornet]

And for hte record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ik_Jn-tr8w this still happens in vermintide, today

[elfin crystal]

do the staves even hit weak points?

[runic hornet]

you wann talk about airspawns?

[severe folio]

some staff hit weak point i think

[dense wasp]

Voidstrike does

[compact cargo]

"achtually it's ur fault for passing a boss/patrol spot withour ur team"

[severe folio]

the one with single target capabilities

[elfin crystal]

i see

[runic hornet]

so, like. Airspawns are nothing new to -tide

[severe folio]

which beg the question what the hell do i want on my purg staff

[elfin crystal]

so probably not surge

[runic hornet]

is it fucked up, yes

[wise pecan]

Depends on the staff, but voidstrike’s rmb can and all non-purgatus lmb’s can

[runic hornet]

But honestly, at this point, it's par for the course

[elfin crystal]

alright thanks

shame, the - peril sounded tasty

[severe folio]

everytime you die just type airspawn in chat

[runic hornet]

It boils down to "learn the triggers on the map", but notably, the spawns for darktide maps/rooms are definitely worse

a lot of vermintide's patrol/boss/horde airspawns are in very conspicuous locations

[dense wasp]

The damage options on a blessing are very limited, Transfer peril is prolly best perk on Voidstrike imo, suppresion is usefull (only works on ranged enemies, if I kill one, the rest covers in fear for couple seconds and stops shooting) the only dps option I could see would be critical chance based on peril levels

[runic hornet]

but the zealot video linked here #psyker-class message is a lot more subtle and because it's only spitting out flankers it just seems like the game is trying to fuck that one player in particular

which makes it seem more sinister, than if it had just spat out a whole horde or boss

[grave bobcat]

If only I didn't just watch them fail to dodge a mutant

[compact cargo]

https://clips.twitch.tv/CredulousBlatantWrenchSoonerLater-puUYkfZ0il0O5GHc
Wait a second, I just found out where the barrel coding came out of
I knew the explosive rats were behind them

[grave bobcat]

I might've believed them

[severe folio]

its airspawn mutant

[grave bobcat]

Mhm from 30 meters away

right on top of us

wtf

[mossy sand]

dear psykers, how do you fellas do most of the pennances for the class? (Ie knock guys off ledge, kill a beast of nurgle/boss with all headpops)

[compact cargo]

Premades

only way atm

[runic hornet]

whenver i get grabbed by a mutant I know it's because I was betting on it being after someone else

[mossy sand]

Pain

[runic hornet]

Or because I literally couldn't move

I don't know how people miss mutant spawns

[fallow meadow]

The "Additional critical chance in high peril" and "more damage in volley" seem nice

[grave bobcat]

Forgot how fucking cool 😎 I feel dodging muties and dogs lmfao

"You thought"

Too much crutching the Surge

[dense wasp]

I am not sure if more damage in voley applies to your secondary attacks tho

[wise pecan]

Fair

[compact cargo]

This falls back to the theory that the game director goes nuts when someone has taken less than x damage

[wise pecan]

I think my favorite is seeing the sniper laser, tracing it back to its source, spotting the flash, and then headshotting it before it fires

[grave bobcat]

Me looking into the Sky cause I saw the Vet's lasgun sniper laser

Every time

[runic hornet]

Virgins: dodge a trapper, think they're cool
Chads: make sure to bait the trap onto their teammate, THEN dodge

[grave bobcat]

They really need to give snipers more spawns or I dunno

Spawn 2 I guess

[runic hornet]

I did lots of vermintide assassin pvp

[mossy sand]

So, voidstrike, lightning, or purgatus?

[grave bobcat]

Why didn't you say trauma hmm

[magic hull]

the one you like the most

[elfin crystal]

go in damnation or heresy. sometimes 3 spawn at once

[wise pecan]

I’ve done this a few times on accident lmao

[grave bobcat]

lmao

[runic hornet]

Trappers come from more predictable angles and making sure the net goes a mile to yoink your frontliners is comedy

[compact cargo]

Gutter runner throwing themselves into the void

[mossy sand]

the literal best answer

[grave bobcat]

I exclusively play Damnation because I just can't find malice engaging

And I can't recall seeing more than 1

[runic hornet]

honestly the assassins that splat against terrain and explode are funnier to me

[wise pecan]

Hounds hurling themselves into the void is also great

[runic hornet]

even heresy gets double snipers sometime

[elfin crystal]

understandable. i mostly play heresy with a sprinkle of damnation, but i'm still lvling vet

[tight saddle]

I mainly do Damnation, but the Heresy Endless Horde bug is fun when I jus want to kill a shitload of stuff.

[runic hornet]

I can't remember the last time I had 3 snipers

3 bombers happens all the fucking time thoug

[elfin crystal]

yeah

[magic hull]

Do you farm alot of money for killing hordes?

[elfin crystal]

floor is lava momen

[grave bobcat]

I dislike Heresy cause it's all the people that're like "oh maybe I can do t4 now"

[wise pecan]

I feel like I can’t trust my teammates enough for heresy missions, unless they’re the low difficulty mod

[grave bobcat]

And I want more mats from Damnation

[runic hornet]

Also the answer for anyone who can't decide what staff to use is trauma because it does everything

just embrace being at 100% perils and actually using a good melee weapon

[elfin crystal]

if you have fairly good gear heresy is just like normal to some extent

[runic hornet]

staff primary playstyle is a disease

[wise pecan]

I’d say the answer is “try them all, pick the one you like best”

[cyan notch]

wdym embrace being at 100% peril

[cinder dagger]

Voidstrike is the one I initially liked least, until I realised that it's basically a railgun. Now I love it

[grave bobcat]

Gear is definitely not the thing that means you can run t4+ lol

[elfin crystal]

just go to 100% then press F

[mossy sand]

and depending on what you teammates do

[tight saddle]

this

[wise pecan]

Trauma staff generates peril extremely quickly

[mossy sand]

half the time its a breeze the other half its a nightmare

[compact cargo]

"I'll flush them out!"

[runic hornet]

Trauma hard CCs everything except mutants/bursters (though it's worth noting it instakills the latter)
It does massive damage to a decent radius
it does great stagger to a huge radius
...except you only get two big casts and maybe a msall cast and then you're @ 100% peril

[mossy sand]

do you guys even bother with pops t4 and above

I poplike gunner or two then just go silly with a staf

[runic hornet]

even on damnation there are plenty of times where you are literally not in effective range and trying to cross open ground INTO effective range is a death sentence

[cyan notch]

yea but u staying at 100% with trauma means u can only do quick charges

which do nothing

[runic hornet]

feel free to pop a rifleman or 3

[runic hornet]

no, I meant more in that you'll be hitting 100% perils all the time

[elfin crystal]

oh defo, i just mean it helps a fair bit tho. someone with low gear will mald longer on a rager than let's say, someone with a maxed brace autogun and there is a lot of ragers

[magic hull]

what, how?

[runic hornet]

I try to go big-small-big or small-big-big, and you let the last big cast rip at >90% perils, which puts you at 100% without blowing yourself up

[elfin crystal]

and yeah defo teammates are also a variable

[runic hornet]

similar to BBing at 97%

Contrast voidstrike or purgatus where you have to TRY to hit 100%

[mossy sand]

literally

[cyan notch]

not really with purg youre always at 100

[mossy sand]

though I do really love purgatus

idk how good it'd be on t4/5

[elfin crystal]

purga is pretty good on 4-5

[runic hornet]

you guys must use purg a lot more than I do because I prefer to wait for actual concentration

[elfin crystal]

actually

[runic hornet]

if it's just scattered mobs and not proper concentration I use my sword

[mossy sand]

Im a zealot main

[runic hornet]

because i find that using flame on low numbers of mobs makes it harder to see specs

[elfin crystal]

at least the people i,ve seen using it were doing really well

[mossy sand]

so flaming with a flamer is my business

I just do the same thing with psyker

and it works 9.5/10times

[runic hornet]

and if you only purgatus when there's concentration, you get so many kills that you go perils positive

[wise pecan]

One thing that I’m surprised by is the amount of people that have mics that just… don’t use them? Like it’ll be dead silent, and then I’ll hear a chip crunch or some shit

Folks, please, talk. I don’t care if your strategy is bad, having an easily communicated strategy at all is better than everyone silently making their own assumptions, accidentally splitting up, and dying

[mossy sand]

yup

[elfin crystal]

it's turns a mission into a baby sitting walk if you have a surge and purga

[runic hornet]

console-tier "my mic is open and I'm blaring TV shows", fuck off lmao

[cyan notch]

probably not

[compact cargo]

nothing worse than hearing ur psyker open class royale

[cyan notch]

doesnt matter with infinite purg anyway

[runic hornet]

what, canceling out of purgatus @ 100% perils and not exploding?

[cyan notch]

yes

[runic hornet]

I know it's a thing, I just hate trying without the safety net because of related https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/L7c1MrYDyUxxq/d1337uut3vLI?invite=cr-MSxHanksNDg2MDU3NTUs

[elfin crystal]

i'll play baby shark on my mic. that's my strategy

instill fear in my enemies

[cyan notch]

i dont know what that sentence means but i aint clicking that

[runic hornet]

you don't get a video embed link?

[wise pecan]

I got one

[compact cargo]

Closing the door on mutants resets their charge animation, quite funny

[runic hornet]

door games are ridiculously powerful

how do you even die during hab block dreyko scans

just use the doors

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/L20xUO5MS3g1h/d1337p9IJOmp?invite=cr-MSx1eUQsNDg2MDU3NTUs

[wise pecan]

Jesus Christ just pour phosphex on them you monster

[cyan notch]

people die cuz they split up

not because of the absence or presence of doors

[runic hornet]

just use a door and you can't die even alone

can't get disabled if you put a door betweeen you and the spawns?

duh

[wise pecan]

I think investigation is probably the hardest mission, but I have not taken doors into account

[runic hornet]

(disregard that to actually do the scans you need to leave your safe space)

[cyan notch]

yes because youre always going to a room with one door you can play with

[runic hornet]

any place that has a door becomes a ridiculously unbreakable strongpoint

[wise pecan]

Just make sure that there is only one door. If there are two doors, your enemies can flank you

[wise pecan]

Realistic

[runic hornet]

gunners can't get you, trappers can't trap you, dogs get confused, mutants have to politely wait until the doo fully opens, and even bulwarks have to ask permission

that jailhouse in the train assassination mission, with the medicae

you can clear out the elite/ranged squads that like to spawn on the stairs and the barricades to the right

just by aggroing, and then politely insisting that if they want to get to you, they have to open a door

all those ranged gunners will walk right up to the door

where you can blow them up

[frail spire]

how is force sword for horde clear?

[cyan echo]

Not awesome, but not too bad

[runic hornet]

terrible without tech
with weapon swap tech to spam light 1, it's okay, but the APM might give you carpal tunnel without good keybinds

[frail spire]

lmao

[runic hornet]

if you want to clear hordes, because you're running surge staff or something, i strongly advise taking a good sword or axe or something

[frail spire]

which one specifically?

[wise pecan]

The Mk v combat axe has a great push attack (horizontal swipe), and its regular swings are all downward, vertical chops - great for hitting single targets in the head

Plus it has very high damage

[stark snow]

depending on your setup you can make the macro repeat while you hold down the key

[wise pecan]

Isn’t light > heavy > push > repeat decent, too? They’re both rather horizontal as I recall

[stark snow]

light-heavy is pretty good yeah, though in the end its probably inferior to light spam

that is light macro spam anyway

[wise pecan]

Fair, I have not tried light spam because I enjoy my hand functionality (see also why I do not use the combat knife, or play cookie clicker)

[runic hornet]

light heavy I think suffers greatly from breakpoints but that's an impression I got, not bakced by math

also the heavy attack just doesn't hit very hard to begin with

[stark snow]

tbh, I'm used to the sword enough that I don't find its regular routines too bad. I'm not fully used to my macro though and I've just bene playing regular longer

macros for the staves are crazy too for left click, it's like over a 30% increase in speed

but I just started messing around with mine a couple days ago have a few minor things to work out

[wise pecan]

My issue with weapon swap tech is that with any amount of latency, weapon swapping becomes… unreliable.

[stark snow]

I haven't really had much issue with that part. from my testing, there's a few variations on some of even the same attack, I'm not sure if there's frame differences, but I had to give some extra room to the timings

or they'd fail sometimes

like your staff left click has an overhand and an underhand toss

and it seems to be random which one animates

and it seems like they have different frame amounts/timings

and if you clip the sword attack too fast, you won't get the full range from the attack

[wise pecan]

It seems like the server and the client have to do a handshake whenever you swap weapons, so if you’re laggin a bit then you just can’t swap at all. It’s killed me one, when I swapped to a grenade, tossed it, then couldn’t swap back to my sword to block

[runic hornet]

grenade has a very long recovery time

[stark snow]

hmm, interesting

[runic hornet]

I was doing a comparison between grenades and trauma staff

the difference between vet frag, ogyrn rumbler, and psyker trauma

[severe folio]

I DID IT

[wise pecan]

Ye, but the thing is it started the sword draw animation, then went “nah” and switched me back to the grenade

[runic hornet]

and trying to insist that the trauma charge time is honestly not that big of a deal versus vet frag, and having to reload the rumbler

[severe folio]

I KILL THE HOUND

AHA

[wise pecan]

That’s not recovery time, that’s latency

[runic hornet]

I've never had that issue, but on the otehr hand I have literally never experienced server random disconnects, not once
Meanwhile my buddy gets disconnect-errored like 5 times in the average run

[deft fiber]

Now is time for solo kill monstrosity on heresy+ huehuehue

[half iron]

congrats
now kill more hounds. it’ll be swag

[severe folio]

so guys

[wise pecan]

It does it all the time for me with guns

[severe folio]

kinetic deflection good ?

not mind in motion ?

[severe folio]

aaaaaaa

[wise pecan]

Kinetic deflection effectively gives psyker two independently regenerating stamina bars, enabling… a lot of shit

It’s widely regarded as the best option

[deft fiber]

I'm running mind in motion since it very nice qol skill. But technically speaking deflection is better i suppose.

[severe folio]

gotcha

i dont have a deflector fs though

is it still favored ?

[wise pecan]

Kinetic deflection is arguably better on non force swords

Since wielding a force weapon reduces your passive quelling speed

Deflector FS + kinetic deflection is still great though

[severe folio]

oh

good idea i forgot about that

[gray island]

Deflection with atrax Mk V axe is busted.
Deflector FS with the deflection feat is great to avoid damage from ranged foes., so alittle more Tanky.

[grave bobcat]

Talking about trait I assume since Antax can't roll deflector 😛

[tight saddle]

@grave bobcat you both left smh

[grave bobcat]

LOL

He wasn't doing anything anyway

[tight saddle]

he's back he crashed lol

[grave bobcat]

Damn spoke too soon

[gray island]

Yes the trait with the axe

[severe laurel]

Could someone explain to me the point of the Purgatus staff?

It seems to do bugger all

[cyan notch]

kills hordes

[severe laurel]

well ,it makes them glow, thats about it

[cyan notch]

no it does the glow then enemies do the die

[gray island]

Good horde clear. Also stuns ragers and a few other elites

If you have a reliable damage percentage on it, if the damage percentage is low it’s gonna take longer

Left click on elites/ specials. Charge attack on hordes

Also good for weakening elites into BB kills

[half iron]

its purpose is to have swag, which it has a lot of

[teal sluice]

You use it to get warp charges with 25/3 and 30/2 feats

[digital pagoda]

Anyone tried atrox mk7 axe?

Feels better than antax mk5 to me

Better cleave cause you combo push attack with heavy 1

Much faster lights and heavies too, plus a useful special action

Same damage pretty much on flak and unarmored

[ebon jolt]

What are the redeeming qualities of the trauma staff? Been feeling like I should give it a try.

[digital pagoda]

Its good for completing going out with a bang

[bright forge]

Tried all, extensively

[fading wave]

Coud someone help me getting the Cliffhanger penance, I've been trying for hours now

[frail spire]

and ur conclusion?

[grave bobcat]

@tight saddle

[tight saddle]

oh lmao, I know it has to do with latency, but it can also bug out and do that on good ping as well. When it happens to me I have to stop it and restart it

[grave bobcat]

First time its happened lmao

Like growing frustation

[ornate hamlet]

If youre targeting single enemies youre better off switching to your melee

[tight saddle]

It used to happen a shitload in the Beta

[bright forge]

I prefer Mk II

[tight saddle]

it was super common back then

[grave bobcat]

And wooow 2 force swords in the shop

[tight saddle]

"someone else do it I'm bugged" and it would be that exact thing

[ornate hamlet]

Its main purpose is horde clear, damage ramps up the more you hit enemies with the flames

[grave bobcat]

Can't wait to ruin them

[tight saddle]

I wish crafting mats were account shared so I can play my Zealot without FOMO on my Psyker.

[wise pecan]

This man is correct. Purgatus is basically diet flamer. Same job, not as good, but also free, leaving vet and zealot to spend more ammo on their guns

[grave bobcat]

Diet flamer

lmfao

Fuckin

Pog

[wise pecan]

Nice

[grave bobcat]

last one I needed for 60% resist

[wise pecan]

Do you have that much of a problem with gunners, specifically?

[grave bobcat]

Ehh, yes no but like

What other stats are useful

[wise pecan]

Block efficiency

[grave bobcat]

or more useful than tht

Ok thats cap

[tight saddle]

wish it was on my zealot lol

[grave bobcat]

Item sharing one day 🙏

K i just want to see my lasguns dmg in grinder

to see how close I am to breakpoint

then rdy

my zealot got lol

[severe folio]

weapons you buy dont share across characters ?

[cyan notch]

no lol

[tight saddle]

no because Fatshart fucking hates us

[severe folio]

amazing

why oh why

why are there

so many features missing lol

[tight saddle]

Tencent owns majority of Fatshart now.

[grave bobcat]

I wouldn't say that is a missing feature but intentional

it actually does 1 tap it must be the suppression making it feel weird

ADS bloom always feels so... wrong

And I like that weekly tbh lol

[tight saddle]

I play my other characters too much so I usually risk not doing it.

Siblings. Have you found which staff suits your incomparable mind better?

[grave bobcat]

Trauma

Trust

dont listen to anyone else

[half iron]

listen to me

[grave bobcat]

See this voice

right here

[ebon jolt]

I’m pretty sure it includes the shotgunner and any special or elite holding a mini gun.

[half iron]

purgatus.
it shoots blue fire. it’s like regular fire, but blue. my beloved finds it adorable

[tight saddle]

Trauma can only be wielded by real Psykers, everyone else is a fake.

[wise pecan]

I like purgatus most, but I’ll admit it does feel bad if there aren’t any good hordes to roast

[grave bobcat]

Look, even his mind has been torched by the purgatory

[shell ferry]

For me they all... kind of weird. Or maybe it's my rolls
Trauma - super overheat over 2 shots. Which is equivalent to two weaker grenades
Surge - INFINITE POWER - but deals lousy damage agaisnt anyone who isn't wearing metal armour
Flamethrower - super fast cooldown but rather low damage. But by the gods, that jet of evil fire is just chefs kiss
Voidstrike - literally a plasma gun

[half iron]

you cannot contain your silliness

[grave bobcat]

100% Silly

[severe folio]

i actually really like trauma

[grave bobcat]

Boutta blow

[severe folio]

so i want to use it again once they fix the bug

[grave bobcat]

Also I like the script mission as well lmfao

[shell ferry]

Which bug?

[tight saddle]

I've been waiting and waiting for a better Trauma than this

[severe folio]

but right now i prefer purgatus staff

[fervent trench]

I try psyker, sometimes i hear buzz buzz buzz even when no daemonhost near. Is bug?

[wise pecan]

Basically a fair assessment. I’d add that surge stuns hard

[severe folio]

some ppl in here said the staff only deals half the damage it suppose to deal rn

due to a bug

[half iron]

i like trauma, but the moment i rolled a decent purgatus, i fell in love

[grave bobcat]

I'm gonna try that dodging FS

[inland glen]

Does psyker have access to Braced Autogun and the Shotgun?

[severe folio]

no

[grave bobcat]

See if it actually feels like it does anything

[inland glen]

😦

[wheat wren]

Is it when you're close to fatal levels of peril?

[shell ferry]

I found that if you are playing with a team of snoipers, surge is best. It staggers loads of enemies and is essentially auto hit

And while you can't really kill dregs, stunning/killing more dangerous scabs it excells at

[half iron]

i like it when the warp says “come, little one”. makes me feel cute

[wheat wren]

Purgatus does a good job of that as well

[fervent trench]

Oh shit, yeah. That's probably bad for my character, lorewise.

[wheat wren]

Yeah buddy haha.

[shell ferry]

I mean, lorewise just living in that universe is super bad for character

[severe folio]

but i need to do the weekly

[wheat wren]

Your character will give audio queues when you're about to bust a fat warp nut @fervent trench

[shell ferry]

You could always snipe at them with primary attack. Or switch to chainsword and go to town

Oddly in terms of boss killing, I found chain sword to be of much more use than a power sword

[severe folio]

i see

[shell ferry]

It just tears in and staggers anyone and everyone - including Crushers. Can't really do that with a force sword which has a wind up before you bonk them with whatever psyker bonks them with

If charging the sword would deal that charged damage instantly - on my mind it would be a fair buff to utility

[tacit fractal]

Braced yes

[shell ferry]

Or maybe staggering them instantly and dealing cosmic cringe damage over same three second animation

[teal sluice]

I just use axes, I rolled a pretty good one that does 300dmg heavies

[fresh vessel]

New to psyker, how important is charge speed on void strike staves? I just got one with 80 in everything but 29 in charge time

[teal sluice]

Fs and chain sword take too long to do the damage

[tight saddle]

someone queue for Damnation to fill our 2 bot slots

[shell ferry]

I found that the sheer fact that chain sword stuns the target to outweight the animation delay. If you can rev it up and stunlock Crusher, it's already worth it

[tacit fractal]

Charge speed is not important cause it’s an extremely minor game change between high a low but do get yourself it atleast medium or high if all other stats are good

[ebon jolt]

It’s pretty important on trauma but not on void. Could make an argument for surge. The range differential for void is .3s. Edit: also doesn’t exist on flame staff. Always forget that part.

[fresh vessel]

So I got a god roll then?

[teal sluice]

Yeah but it leaves you too in the open, it's only good in 1v1 when you can do it safely

With the axe you can still dodge and block

[tacit fractal]

God roll is a roll that is statistically the best ever possible roll in it’s potential without any level of flaws

[shell ferry]

I agree. Pretty much a boss and ogryn killer weapon when someone can cover your rear.

[teal sluice]

I just use surge staff for those 😆

[heady sapphire]

Pretty sure it’s a typo and they meant “good” roll.

[tacit fractal]

If you can have everything high and you have everything high except charge speed it isn’t a god roll, you also have to include perks and blessings instead of excluding them @fresh vessel

[heady sapphire]

Surge staff supremacy will not be ceased.

[cyan notch]

hes probably just talking about base stats

[teal sluice]

I got surge staff pilled

[shell ferry]

Useful, but not when someone is about to bonk you with a piece of rebar up close

[fresh vessel]

It's a grey currently so we'll see how it upgrades.

[tacit fractal]

Still good to inform all about the rest too

[shell ferry]

Either I was unlucky or something, but for me Surge didn't really stun ogryns

[teal sluice]

No trust me the stun is so good you can even use it in close melee

[severe folio]

but i like fire

[tacit fractal]

Purgatus is fun

[cyan notch]

i mean i dont think he thinks a grey weapon is a god roll

[teal sluice]

Only falls off if it's a horde rushing you down

[shell ferry]

Maybe I was unlucky.

[tacit fractal]

Depends who you’re talking to, a redditor, a discord member or a player

[ebon jolt]

Can someone explain what burn intensity is to me? Does that affect DoT damage or something?

[tacit fractal]

Yes

[teal sluice]

Give it a shot, find one with a good warp res, get 10/2, 15/1 25/3 talents and you can get off 5-6 stunlocks before needing to quell

[fresh vessel]

It's a good foundation. I don't think staves have any blessings that can brick them but I'm new to psyker so.

[tacit fractal]

You can break staves with the right combo with perks and blessings

[heady sapphire]

Only reason I stand behind the surge staff supremacy is because I have personally seen the difference a surge staff can make with crowd control as well as the damage output on carapace armored enemies. The other staves are not useless, and each has its own specific unique pros and cons but the surge staff is ultimately the best all around. Voidstrike is easily the best for clearing hordes, purgastus has an undeniable crowd control edge, and I can’t find the benefits of the trauma staff so someone please enlighten me.

[fresh vessel]

Oh I meant brick as in make it worthless. There's a blessing some melee weapons can get that sucks enough it kills the weapon's use.

That +power on first strike, -power on subsequent blessing.

Dunno wtf the designers were thinking with that one.

[tacit fractal]

You can also stop Surge’s animation to deal dmg instantly

[teal sluice]

Decent stagger and a bit of horde clear on trauma but that's about it

It's like a middle ground between all staves, but still worse than all of them

[heady sapphire]

Trauma just feels useless cause by the time you can fully charge it chances are your team has wiped most of the enemies in the blast radius because the range is so shit

[restive tapir]

so apparently Ascendant Blaze Psykinetics Wrath can aggro Daemonhosts through walls

[thorn prairie]

I don't use staffs because the general popluation of this game is incapable of removing ranged threats

[random wolf]

Voidstrike

[restive tapir]

the fuck, you have brainburst for that

or voidstrike

[random wolf]

Remove all the ranged threats in a corridor

[thorn prairie]

Let me just brain burst 20 Scabs real quick

[random wolf]

Like I said

[restive tapir]

Voidstrike then

like are you really playing Psyker just to use a gun? 😄

[random wolf]

Don't forget to tap R after every shot to animation cancel

You can rapid fire Voidstrike and cause tinnitus

Its funny.

[thorn prairie]

I am brain bursting most of the time

[brisk panther]

profile pic checks out

[thorn prairie]

staff is too slow to remove anything quickly enough

[restive tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/faint-spanish-fainting-gif-22136653

[heady sapphire]

I know how he feels though. I went through a stint of running recon lasgun on heresy+ because teammates apparently didn’t understand that the incoming lasgun fire is the most detrimental thing for our collective toughness

[restive tapir]

you can remove entire rooms with staves

[random wolf]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1021945981304045639/1051427929726406777/voidstrikeanimcancel.mp4

What Scabs

[thorn prairie]

I used kinetic barrage and spam brain burst 70% of the time, use a Headhunter for some ranged guys my team ignore who are on my ass

[restive tapir]

Voidstrike good

[random wolf]

Voidstrike best

[brisk panther]

uprising?

[random wolf]

Headhunter

Bro why

At least I use a Recon VIIa for Gun Psyker

Don't you love yourself?

[heady sapphire]

Recon lasgun is a beautiful machine.

[restive tapir]

using guns on Psyker

[thorn prairie]

slow rate of fire 😄

[random wolf]

Passive quell is fun

[heady sapphire]

SLOW RATE OF FIRE

[random wolf]

Bro

[restive tapir]

bro

[random wolf]

You're using head hunter

[restive tapir]

slow rate of fire WHERE

[thorn prairie]

lmao

[heady sapphire]

Recon lasgun sounding like a money counter 😂

[restive tapir]

but so is burning entire rooms in psychic flame or cosplaying Palpatine, or clearing an entire corridor with one shot

[thorn prairie]

you didn't like me using a gun but recon is ok

[restive tapir]

recon is fun but not on Psyker

like if i want to use a gun i go Veteran

[silent crane]

my eyes

[thorn prairie]

At heresy+ higher there's too many specials anyway. I am always in brain burst mode

[silent crane]

is harmed by those flamers

[thorn prairie]

with kinetic barrage

[silent crane]

im playing with just sound now

[restive tapir]

specials burn under my flame

[heady sapphire]

Cosplaying the blind cosmetic option

[silent crane]

tbh tho 90% of the info i get when it comes to specials is sound anyway

[heady sapphire]

Big facts.

[silent crane]

and the only reason why i know ppl are in trouble will be those disabled warning sound

[half iron]

me when i hear the among us sound and a beast of nurgle appears

[restive tapir]

READYING GRENAGE!

[silent crane]

nah

i hear him pull the PIN

[restive tapir]

yeah that's such a satisfying sound

i usualy brainburst him before he even throws it lol

[heady sapphire]

Something for the collection

[silent crane]

sometimes it almost feel like they sampled grand PIN

[alpine nova]

im assuming these 2 are hard as fuck?

[restive tapir]

for the second one you 99% need a 4stack

[silent crane]

just gotta build for it

[alpine nova]

rip

[silent crane]

and then beg ppl to do a 4stack with you

[heady sapphire]

When the teammates actually ping elites so the psyker and veteran know what to target off rip.

[silent crane]

tbh my pin is on the lmb

the only reason that special is alive will be because i missed my shot

[random wolf]

If I pinged a sniper I don't wanna cancel that ping to a really obvious Bulwark in front of me.

[silent crane]

if i pined a sniper consider it dead

[random wolf]

Well in this channel, sure.

I play all 4 lol

[silent crane]

but yeah

i dont give a f about that

i need my mouse side key for cool dashes

and my punch slide

[heady sapphire]

Tfw I want to run another class other than psyker but whenever I do I get matched with a psyker who doesn’t focus elites so majority of my time is spent complaining about how shit the psyker is on my team to the point where I just run psyker again and then I’m in a drop ship with 2 other psykers and an ogryn.

[silent crane]

if a teammate cant find a sniper that i already pined

well ill get to that sniper at somepoint

or dye trying

[runic stone]

and for the first, you need there not to be any veterans on your team

[cyan notch]

bro its spelled "ping" and "die"

[silent crane]

nah

i can do that but thats a lot of effort men

wait how did i typed dye

oh well

[restive tapir]

whatever specials need to come in close die to the flame i'm spitting 24/7
and the rest like snipers, i brainburst

[silent crane]

do shotgunner have a different health amount?

(then gunner

(also ay thats a lot of dmg

[summer compass]

lf2m malice blowing ourselves up on 3 elites for the achievement https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1042858756771422218

[broken salmon]

is it just me or does voidstrike staff do half the damage it says it should?

[analog juniper]

just you

[analog juniper]

it tells you the damage to expect when you inspect the weapon

[vagrant cedar]

maybe you don't charge it fully

or you staffs stats suck ass

[grave bobcat]

@tight saddle Okay that run was funny af

So much stupid interactions

[tight saddle]

best one was the Ogryn falling through the lift lmfao

rip

[grave bobcat]

Do you know the where first Nergie spawned and we both jumped off one of the railings to bottom floor?

[tight saddle]

Cal went to the Moon and back

[grave bobcat]

Yeah... So I flew into the sky then TOOK FALL DAMAGE

Where you didnt take any damage?

Excuse me

[tight saddle]

I was like where tf did he go, he jumped down before me.

[grave bobcat]

And I missed the clip window for it cause of Nergie chasing me lol

Literally like 120 fall damage to me

For 0 reason lol

Need to restart game though things were getting bad at the end there

Solid 40 fps

And Emperor giving me a Antax is insult to injury

[tight saddle]

I didn't get the Penance btw, it was just a generic one to kill Scabs

[grave bobcat]

Fuck

I literally think I killed the crusher right as you exploded

Oh hell yeah a max experience+ roll on a curio

[tight saddle]

you're a pro at griefing psyker penances smh

[grave bobcat]

Value

lmfao

UNINTENTIONALLY

Which Claw sword is the good one I forgotg

Its 1 right?

[tight saddle]

I think so but I'm not sure

[grave bobcat]

Theres a 363 one but not getting unless its not the shit one but can't remember which one

[tacit fractal]

Antax mk V axe

[grave bobcat]

That's not a claw sword

And Antax is dookie garbage

[tight saddle]

more like MK ZZZZZ

[grave bobcat]

Slow af boi

[tacit fractal]

Huh

I’ve never heard someone say it’s garbage

[grave bobcat]

Yeah sorry someone had to tell you

[mellow crescent]

Antax is solid just not fast enough for the knife users

[grave bobcat]

Force Sword user here

[tacit fractal]

Ah, butter knife users

[tight saddle]

Antax isn't garbage because it's bad, it's garbage because it's a cruth and boring.

[tacit fractal]

Most damnation players go either fs or antax

[grave bobcat]

Antax crutch

Neither of those last dudes added me ZZZ

[tacit fractal]

If crutch works why not use it so your team gets there to the end?

[mellow crescent]

its not bad because its bad, its bad because its so good it can carry players through a mission

hmmmm

[grave bobcat]

Cause I can do that + have fun

[tight saddle]

Thud never said anything outside of uhoh when the lift killed him, and the other guy went to Shovel snow

[grave bobcat]

And meh my FS clears horde faster so I prefer the faster option despite more risk

[tacit fractal]

It’s fun overpowering against enemies wdym

[grave bobcat]

It's all you baby

[tight saddle]

Antax is a survival weapon not killing enemies.

primarily

[grave bobcat]

I think he must've been on Game Pass so he couldn't add me

[tight saddle]

I love how on FS I can clear Damnation Hordes without having to dodge or push lmao

[mellow crescent]

It kills stuff too.
I think rather than giving our preferences and calling everything else trash we should probably just list all that is viable for damnation.

[tight saddle]

shit is funny

[tacit fractal]

It does good dmg from what i’ve done as i’ve had to clutch and save teammates alone while getting hunted by crushers, maulers and mutants

[grave bobcat]

Good bye nearly perfect roll Force Sword

Destroyed by the god of blessings

[tacit fractal]

Yes

[tight saddle]

you took my message too literally

[mellow crescent]

sorru

i cannot tell if memeing or not

[grave bobcat]

I mean everything is viable for damnation just don't be trash 😄

[tight saddle]

calling one our best weapons garbage while saying it's boring and too easy to use was my attempt at trying to be funny, but yeah, hard to tell via text

you can use any weapon in Damnation, any melee, any staff, even guns.

Cal and I just did an easy Damnation run where we used a 290 rating Lasgun lmfao

[grave bobcat]

Hey man

DOing its best

[tight saddle]

with your high ass ping

[grave bobcat]

Tbh I just need to restart every mission cause it gets progressively worse

Where I just stop being able to dodge mutants/trappers cause of it

When I was spectating I saw Zealot mutant dodge. And the mutant was already inside of him when he dodged for me

[tight saddle]

idk how you can tolerate it

[grave bobcat]

It was getting bad enough that I kept on firing my Lasgun while melee'ing 🥲

[severe folio]

dual wielding

[grave bobcat]

tbh some of the things are pretty funny

[tight saddle]

on yeah at the end of that mission I couldn't do the fs ani cancel and kept shooting my staff

[grave bobcat]

Like reloading... then reloading again??

[tight saddle]

so it was probably server lag on top of your ping making it worse

[grave bobcat]

Doubling my mag size lmao

[tight saddle]

it's funny af seeing a staff shot between fs light cancels

[grave bobcat]

Yeah I like the targetted attack on one dude

And in fairness

[left hare]

what talents for the purgatus staff?

I'm testing it out

[grave bobcat]

The biggest issue I had that game the griefed kit lmfao

[tight saddle]

omg I wonder if the las pistol is fast enough to not interrupt the fs light cancel as much when it messes up

you can probably shoot fast af between melee swings

las pistol Psyker incoming

[grave bobcat]

I actually have a decent one of those too

But it didn't 1 shot the gunners

Testing it earlier

It was like

20 damage off the breakpoint

Which sucks lol

[tight saddle]

there are different ones you can use, most people bring ones that they feel comfortable on

[severe folio]

such as ?

wait talents ?

is that the skills ?

[grave bobcat]

OH AND ANOTHER THING

[tight saddle]

Feats were called Talents in Vermintide

[random vale]

Feats yeah

[severe folio]

oh

[left hare]

feats

[grave bobcat]

Because the animations keep repeating when the lag gets bad

SOmetimes my gun will animation for shooting 2-3 times.

[hollow wyvern]

So Much Calciumn

[severe folio]

which talents synergy well with the weapon

[grave bobcat]

So my sights so wild

[hollow wyvern]

so good for bones

[severe folio]

i assume most of the soulblaze talents synergy ?

[deft fiber]

Most obvious -- spec into soulblaze shit.

[grave bobcat]

You running surge?

[tight saddle]

The last two Soulblaze Feats kinda suck in Damnation but are usable, most people still bring the bottom last two feats with Purg staff

[grave bobcat]

Or swapping back to void if I run it

[severe folio]

wreck and ruin is good with the purg staff ?

[tight saddle]

but I still use them for the thematic fun

wrack and ruin is absolutely terrible

no matter what you bring

[severe folio]

expected

[tight saddle]

it's probably one of our worst Feats besides Mind in Motion lol

[severe folio]

how long did it take you guys to get your psyker to 30

[grave bobcat]

@tight saddle You running still running Surge or swapping back to Voidstrike since I'm using Surge again?

Like a day

[deft fiber]

I've seen that with 6 stacks lvl 30 talent are pretty alright. Problem with crushers and bastions mostly since soulblaze do nearly nothing to them and charging special attack kinda meh in damnation.

[tight saddle]

it only kills trash at 6 stacks, and gunners over a very long period of time. You're already killing trash with your rmb purg.

[grave bobcat]

And also takes like 20 seconds to kill said trash 🥲

[tight saddle]

purg has good CC with left click spam against a lot of elites, but ofc not ogryns

[severe folio]

the folly of using dot damage

[tight saddle]

I don't use Purg that much, but sometimes I do when I'm in the mood to burn stuff

[severe folio]

im always in the mood to burn

[tight saddle]

uhhhh, might purg since we're talking about it here even though I don't like it. I migth fuck up with it

[grave bobcat]

Fair, I already griefed a run so your turn lol

[tight saddle]

gonna bring meme feats for purg as well

[severe folio]

is it worth it to get and use the curio with +4% exp while leveling

[grave bobcat]

Yeah I did that too -.- which was like frustrating me

I was trying the gunner reduction

[tight saddle]

my turn was it?

[grave bobcat]

But almost NEVER had warp stacks

[severe folio]

theres nothing else that give bonus exp so i thought this is at least usable

[placid glen]

so how exactly to push the 8 enemys of a edge ?
played closed beta where it was still 20,
no random ( no friends of mine play darktide )
was so good and try them with me.

Any good spot for the 8 ?

[severe folio]

some ppl said theres an espionage mission

where at the end you ahve to run to extract and a bridge blow up

around there you can ult off a lot of enemy off the edge

[grave bobcat]

I don't think I'm gonna get bored posting this

[placid glen]

ah yes, where you scan the tree

[severe folio]

wait wtf is that

[placid glen]

what

[severe folio]

that count as cliff ?

[grave bobcat]

Doin a bit of gaming

[placid glen]

andi have tryed it with a actuelly "cliff"

well thanks, now i have more options for this to try

[orchid nest]

this spot in chasm logistratum is still the easiest/fastest since it's right at the start

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cU_jq3IAis

[wary tendon]

what is it about the mk5 axe that apparently makes it mesh well with psyker?

[sterile sable]

push block attack stunlocks hordes/ragers

[placid glen]

THANK YOU!
The Emperor is truly with you

[wary tendon]

aha ok ty

[orchid nest]

np. just wait for a horde and bait them onto that catwalk

[placid glen]

okay, i have really more options for this now, now i just need to tell the randoms not to anihilate the hordes at the start

[grave bobcat]

lvl? @placid glen

[orchid nest]

private games will be here on wednesday too if you don't have it done by then. with at least one other person. should make it easier

[vestal finch]

Will they make going out with a bang easier?

[orchid nest]

No idea tbh, they mentioned penances in that blog post but were kind of vague on the when for changes with them

[placid glen]

30

[deft fiber]

Doubt they will make them any easier, since penances require complete rework in order to not be a anti team dog shit.

[placid glen]

yep

its really hard anti team work, alone the monster dmg from full dmg on malice to 90% on herasy, like what ?

[vestal finch]

Only 2 of them are really anti-teamwork

For psyker, anyway

[grave bobcat]

Fair, just do it on damnation then

Hordes rarely die instantly

[placid glen]

done 2 damnations, otherwise iam on heresy.
sounds like iam really unlucky with this ?

[supple skiff]

they nerf the staff sprint cancel thing or am I just bad lol

[vestal finch]

These simpletons are really struggling with just 8 enemies?

I got 19/20 before it got easyfied

[frigid zenith]

hurrduurrr i was cool before cool was cool

[placid glen]

checked tha achivment, i have 7 xD

[vestal finch]

Mad cause bad?

[deft fiber]

I've done cliffhanger at foundry mission on heresy. There are few open ledges with liquid metal around central area at the end. So when you need to survive hordes you can go there and just push enemies to the oblivion.

[frigid zenith]

Not at all, just mocking you.

[vestal finch]

Mad cause bad?

[frigid zenith]

Not at all, are you mad cause bad?

[vestal finch]

Mad cause bad?

[hasty ether]

feeding the troll only makes it stronger

[frigid zenith]

Might wanna check what simpleton means before you keep repeating yourself.

[hidden coral]

Glad I checked this morning for the high brow psyker optimisation discussions

[vestal finch]

Mad cause bad?

[frigid zenith]

Sir, this is the internet.

[vestal finch]

Clearly you haven't been around, it shows

[frigid zenith]

Clearly.

[vestal finch]

Clearly.

[hidden coral]

This is why no one trusts Psykers, this right here

[vestal finch]

Mad cause bad?

[frigid zenith]

You assume anyone in here is actually a psyker.

[tacit fractal]

Some very few ones you mean, most of us are chill

[misty plaza]

i want them to add another force staff 😃 that would be litty

[tacit fractal]

Lots yeah

[vestal finch]

I wouldn't trust a witch with my life, that's all I'm sayin

[tacit fractal]

@frigid zenith You can get the Cliffhanger done in Chasm Logistratum, that’s where it’s the easiest to do it or iirc the one investigation mission where the mission thumbnail is darkish. I did it on Chasm Logistratum cause that’s where people said it was the easiest to do when it was 20, had to do it 5 times cause I usually only got 14 or 17 lol

[hidden coral]

Hard to say, although I'm surprised there's no shotgun blast staff ATM. I guess purgatus fills that niche a bit

[muted wyvern]

Finally down to getting Pick n’ Mix done, and I gotta say… Fuck I don’t want to.

[random wolf]

There's a bug with the achievo where if they're burning from your purgatus staff while they're falling and die it counts.

[vestal finch]

That's funny, I also did it at Chasm Logistratum. At the end,

[random wolf]

Me too lmao

Wait no

[tacit fractal]

I did it at the start where there was the bridge

[random wolf]

I cheesed it at Chasm station

By the train cars

[tacit fractal]

Dayum

[random wolf]

I was burning enemies jumping off the train on top

[frigid zenith]

I did 20 at a random abyss drop off when the opportunity presented itself.

[random wolf]

And it counted

[hasty ether]

same just hid behind the first gate let my team chill on the bridge till a hoard spawned then popped out and pushed them off

[hidden coral]

And ye I got 20 at the end of the espionage mission with the final data interrogator on the catwalks. Just had to tell everyone I was going for it so they wouldn't kill the pox Boyz

[tacit fractal]

Sick

I do like the poxwalker designs ngl

[frigid zenith]

There's a ton of places and choke points to do it really.

[tacit fractal]

Yeah, there’s just a few only that make it extremely easy to complete fast enough

[frigid zenith]

Indeed.

[tacit fractal]

Tried to do it in the Meltafab mission right at the heart of the forge but I constantly got like 7-16

[frigid zenith]

Doing the other ones in public games gets a little whacky sometimes if you're not communicating with your teams what you're looking for.

kamakazi is pretty easy to do with one shield ogre in comms.

[vestal finch]

I put periods after I finish every sentence because I'm cool and edgy.

[hasty ether]

you can also go to the lfg chats and usually find some nice ogryns to help you

[frigid zenith]

I too, am an angsty middle schooler with no direction.

[vestal finch]

I can tell.

[bleak tulip]

how about you stop feeding the troll

[uneven sparrow]

Do veterans and zealots crap on each other like psykers do?

[frigid zenith]

This is some troll on troll divide by zero shit, please keep clear.

[honest drift]

anyone got some tips on getting "pick n mix" done somewhat easily, having trouble with this 1

[grave bobcat]

Ahahh

[vestal finch]

Use Kinetic Barrage, obviously

If you can get yourself a vet friend to mark enemies that's even better

[dusk pilot]

work with a team, weaken them first and then explode

[grave bobcat]

Ahahahah

[vestal finch]

lol

[echo parrot]

This option is horrible for pugs, for pugs its best on the Investigation mission in the lab near the end where you are running up the tube.

[hasty ether]

only need to be at 95% to not self destruct BB force push BBx4 then just vent to 95 and BB again.

[grave bobcat]

Ngl, if you had the Voidstrike right there 😉

[vestal finch]

it's 97

Anything above kills

[bleak tulip]

forgo desire for the goggles and just get it when you get it

[bleak tulip]

or when BB gets buffed

[honest drift]

aight what 3 chads want to come help me soften some elites for bb 🤪

[echo parrot]

I really wish I could find the actual 3d model. Would get it 3d printed

[bleak tulip]

Yes

[uneven sparrow]

I wish discord would make it so after you block people it doesn’t say “BLOCKED PERSON”

[teal cargo]

first line is "The Psyker is the mage archetype, similar to the elf from Vermentide 2."

[uneven sparrow]

That’s the exact opposite of useful

[bleak tulip]

yeah huh

[echo parrot]

Bruh

[vestal finch]

Who did you block?

[bleak tulip]

thats been a nitpick for me for years now

[teal cargo]

Similar to elf lol

[uneven sparrow]

I’m just decrying the utter pointlessness of it as an anti harassment / making good space for self tool

[frigid zenith]

I really loved the people that were complaining about the maps being so dark and looks "similar".

Like bro, you ever read a 40k book?

[teal cargo]

The main playstyle for the Psyker class is that it is all about burst damage, making it an effective boss killer.

Another gem

[frigid zenith]

Then they came out with the lights out maps hahaha.

[vestal finch]

Every map looks the same in lights out!

It sucks

can we get some more colors in here??

[tight saddle]

when you memorize the maps your navigate them like normal and know where/when to be careful

[frigid zenith]

Get some chartreuse in there.

[vestal finch]

I'm going to turn on raytracing to get some more dynamic lighting

[frigid zenith]

Nergle would support chartreuse for sure.

[teal cargo]

Aggro some DH though in Lights Out

💀

[frigid zenith]

They're trivial with one shield ogre though.

[vestal finch]

I remember my first time in Lights Out

it was epic

Nothing came close to it so far

[frigid zenith]

Kinda dissapointing.

[teal cargo]

But Ogre wont be the one to aggro

[vestal finch]

I had a trauma staff and was using it as a light in the dark

[teal cargo]

its always the Vet or Zealot

😔

[uneven sparrow]

The one who aggro’s is always a vet or zealot who proceeds to run and die

⚰️

[vestal finch]

I figured out how to cheese the daemonhost the first time I fought it lol

[frigid zenith]

Ok, if you aren't just sprinting through the darkness at all times they're trivial

[severe folio]

how do you cheese it

[vestal finch]

Kinetic Deflection...

[frigid zenith]

It's not really cheese, its just blocking and dodging.

[vestal finch]

Dodge left and right, never back

[severe folio]

oh

[trail tapir]

Actually, I agree, it seems everyone who ever made a 40k game in the past decade or so used the same damn interior and just improved the resolution.

[severe folio]

i didnt get to try that when i first saw one

because i didnt have that skill

[trail tapir]

Darktide looks good but it follows a general aesthetic that's both monotonous and everpresent.

[uneven sparrow]

It’s not like in the moment you can say “Don’t panic, just block and dodge you coward”

[frigid zenith]

You can literally say just that.

[vestal finch]

There's only so many ways you can make grimdark metallic corridors

[frigid zenith]

Press that V button and tell whoever has agro to block and dodge laterally as much as possible.

[trail tapir]

40K Mechanicus is the only real breakaway i remember from this trend

And that's because it happens in a necron tomb.

[left hare]

what are the soul blaze talents to take?

[teal cargo]

Specially when theres a horde and the DH

[left hare]

I've never really played with purgatus before so idk how soul blaze interacts

[idle shuttle]

soublaze is poopoo

[left hare]

oh

[vestal finch]

Maaaaan, all these games set in NYC all look the same... They even have this same ugly ass Statue Landmark

[teal cargo]

Dont use soulblaze talrnts cept Ascendent Blaze

[left hare]

so quite literally they all suck except ascendant?

[teal cargo]

Idk 40k has feral worlds right?

[echo parrot]

40K game set in the exterior wastes of a hive city. Mad Max 40k.

[teal cargo]

and non industrialized planets?

[left hare]

do u take kinetic overload?

[idle shuttle]

nope

[teal cargo]

No

[left hare]

kinetic flayer still for purgatus?

[teal cargo]

Yea Flayer or 6 charges

I think

[left hare]

aite

[idle shuttle]

not even the 6 charges unless you wanna BB all game

[teal cargo]

Overload looks interesting but prob not good

[idle shuttle]

overload in theory is good, and one guy here loves it. you can get 12 stacks of soulblaze on one elite

[errant stream]

yeah i remember when i 1v3'ed 2 beasts of nurgle and 1 chaos spawn oneshotting them with my powerful brain burst

[trail tapir]

I think honestly that 40K games should try and stay away from metallic corridors for this reason.

Give me a rural shrine world with giant kilometer tall trees that have shrines to the Emperor and his saints carved into massive trunks.

Give me the deserts of a forgotten forge world, metallic mills glistening beneath the sand.

Give me a frozen shithole filled with the ruins of eldar webway gates.

Give me the observation and navigation deck of an imperial battleship, with massive glass windows looking out directly into the swirling Empyrean.

[uneven sparrow]

I still have flayer on because im a Psyker at heart

[trail tapir]

There's so many ideas and we just mostly end up with a scuffed hulk or a scuffed hive city.

[uneven sparrow]

Headpops keep my sanity

[deft fiber]

You always can check things in training room and then do few runs if you want to understand if you like it or not.

[frigid zenith]

Yeah, but like, hive cities is where most of the population lives so uhhh... here we are.

[left hare]

for purgatus do i do small charge m1s?

Or just spam m1s

[teal cargo]

Or you can not focus on Imperium

💀

[frigid zenith]

It's both really Moo.

[teal cargo]

Do like a Craftworld game.or something

[uneven sparrow]

In terms of fun im aware they do the opposite to my characters in game sanity

[vestal finch]

Heresy

[frigid zenith]

Chargbe for hordes if it's safe.

[deft fiber]

Left for CC, right for clearing.

[potent echo]

M1 for stagger, holding down m2 longer doesn't give you much benefit besides longer flame

[left hare]

aite

[frigid zenith]

OORRRRR

[teal cargo]

m2 does a lot more dmg

[frigid zenith]

Be a real psyker and using lightning.

[teal cargo]

but m1 for stagger

[left hare]

running surge in all my runs is stale

[potent echo]

Like m2 doesnt stagger hounds from your team

[teal cargo]

Idk Purg does horde clear a lot better

[frigid zenith]

Surge is ssoooooo good though.

[potent echo]

Purg is just what I use to tide me over before a real pyrokinetic class shows up

[left hare]

I love clearing hoardes and i understand why surge is so good

[potent echo]

Sienna2 when

[teal cargo]

Surge is real good but can change it up

[left hare]

yeah exactly

surge number 1

but all game surge boring

sometimes gotta purg

[deft fiber]

All playstyle viable, thing is that they are different and some of them much easier than others. That's all.

[potent echo]

Sometimes gotta trauma

[teal cargo]

Yea its all viable

There are some trauma enjoyers

☠️☠️

Traumatized

[frigid zenith]

Surge is the great equalizer. If you have mediocre teammates, surge will carry those higher difficulty games.

[trail tapir]

Yeah but they don't even do hive cities justice. Want to make an interesting battlefield? Let us fight through the airfields and logistics level, with open vistas of the world outside the hive separated by cargo gates. Let us fight through the golden shrine gardens and palaces at the very top, glistening with wealth and splendour. Let us fight through the greenhouses. Let us fight through the techpriest outpost, filled with technological wonders and vats and angry servitors.

[echo parrot]

Ive honestly gotten kinda bored on Psyker because my only options appear to be

• Use surge and succeed
• Dont use surge and everyone dies

[left hare]

Just get a stack and play void strike/purg for fun

Thats my motto

[idle shuttle]

whats the easiest boss to solo for the 90% BB penance? Nurgle?

[trail tapir]

A hive city doesn't have to be all dark and damp all the time.

[teal cargo]

Psyker just good tank/support

[potent echo]

Gryn

[deft fiber]

Deamonhost

[left hare]

daemonhost with ogrynn triggering and a shield

[potent echo]

Or that

[idle shuttle]

on heresy...

that ghost is gonna kill 2 ppl

[lunar widget]

Hey all im a new souled main im looking for some advice on topics that I can’t seem to find through research can someone help?

[uneven sparrow]

It requires a type of concentration compared to the others if not Paul blarting, psyker is for elevated gamers

[frigid zenith]

I agree, but then there's also what's realistic for a game dev to make and we have to realize the 40k genre is a very niche thing. I doubt we ever get to experience a true AAA game.

[potent echo]

Not with a shieldgryn

[deft fiber]

Just find ogryn with shield

[lunar widget]

Psyker*

[deft fiber]

Easy.

[teal cargo]

Ogryn or Psyker can tank very well

[potent echo]

Is there a crpg 40k game coming up?

[teal cargo]

Ogryn shield is easier though

[trail tapir]

See but obese megalodon already gave us such variety in Vermintide 2 - it's not a question of budget and means, it's a question of creative direction.

[echo parrot]

No shit. The issue isnt my level of "concentration", the issue is everyone else not being able to stay alive. I can only clucth res so much.

[trail tapir]

Yes, by Owlcat, Rogue Trader.

[teal cargo]

Psyker is good at gwtting the res

[trail tapir]

I'm hyped, it's from the guys who made the best crpg of 2021.

[untold surge]

they could do the other planets in the atoman system as dlc and such, so we could get other designs
