kekek

[idle bay]

It's Shark not Medusa 🙂

[icy harbor]

Wait, I must have missed an update. Since when does sword so fire?

[static epoch]

My review will be negative until I can slide attack again 🤡

[boreal sun]

blessing you can get on force sword

[night marten]

this is what I've been running today, 121122

[icy harbor]

Damn, now I gotta be lucky and get that on my 377 base stat sword that already has deflector

[vital bough]

Blazing Spirit Blessing

[vital bough]

That is my exact feat tree lol

Wrack and Ruin is trash tho never fall for that trap

[empty granite]

And that's only the 3rd tier of the blessing. Pretty sure each blessing has 4 tiers.

[manic halo]

are we still on suicide watch my fellow incomparable minds?

[night marten]

til they fix the peril bug, yea

[icy harbor]

Noted

[vital bough]

Yeah, 4th tier may have higher stack limit and more stacks, don't know.

[compact cargo]

They nerfed us with a bug, devs don't like us!

[empty granite]

I mean. The peril bug only affects you if you're spamming BB, which arguably we shouldn't be doing on a regular basis.

[midnight fulcrum]

yea totally just a "bug" lmao

[night marten]

it affects staff overcharge as well, along with FS if you use it at the limit too much

pretty big deal

[night marten]

fatshark acknowledged it was, and claims they'll fix it.

[empty granite]

I haven't been able to consistently reproduce the 2s active quell delay with anything but BB spam

[night marten]

I did with purge staff no problem

[midnight fulcrum]

ik

[idle bay]

I'm playing in a way that rarely gets 100% twice in short period of time. So thankfully i dodged that bug.

[night marten]

imagine it has to be easier on the more intensive staff secondaries

[drowsy fog]

who wants to hop in a private lobby so I can attempt pick n mix

[vital bough]

It appears as if T4 of that blessing applies 4 stacks with each crit, theoretically applying at least 12 stacks with a FS alt charge crit

The max stacks at t4 is unknown atm

[empty granite]

Get to 100%, quell to 90ish, then flame stream again?

[night marten]

that's crazy. my staff has 14 stacks max

[empty granite]

He means the FS Soulblaze blessing on crit

[night marten]

not exactly sure the sequence needed to reproduce, but it's occurred a few times where I can't stop charging the staff, have to wait the 2 seconds before I can put it down and start quelling

[severe folio]

next patch add enemies that cant be psykinetically killed

[empty granite]

Not the max stacks of a Purg staff

[severe folio]

to kill off psyker for good

[vital bough]

Correct, the blessing has it's own max stacks.

80% Burn on a Purg staff allows for 15 max stacks iirc

[night marten]

right

I'm just saying it's crazy

because I can only stack up to 14 with my purge staff

if you can dump 12 in a single special hit, you're doing major damage

[tawny maple]

I'm still surprised that deamonhost and chaos slug don't take increased damage from force abilities. Like they should

[vital bough]

Yeah and my FS crits for 2500 dmg on a mutant, around 1400ish on carapace ogryn and flak ogryn, so I'd kill most elites in one hit and be able to leave the burn to finish them off if it crits

[orchid nacelle]

i prefer psyker's purgatus staff for the sole fact that it aesthetically feels like industrial grade disinfectant

like you're hosing them down with bleach

[night marten]

I think it would kill literally any non-monstrosity in one hit

after all soulblaze damage ticked

actually, might not kill crushers

[vital bough]

It'd be interesting to see but I wouldn't bet too highly on it until somebody gets all the pieces together

[night marten]

because soulblaze doesn't do jack shit to them anyway

but everything else is dead

eh, maybe not mutants either

it would be close

[vital bough]

Mutants on FS is what I hit the highest damage on actually

2500 from the last crit on the alt charge alone

[night marten]

soulblaze damage?

[vital bough]

Nah just the FS alt fire

[empty granite]

Mutants are an edge case because they take more damage than anything else. They're health tanks.

[night marten]

gotcha. but the blaze might be enough to finish it off

[ornate hamlet]

Honestly. Peril feels much more manageable right now

I don’t have random pop deaths anymore

[empty granite]

Said Tobias FATSHARK...

[vital bough]

Maybe, it'd be interesting to find out. I still need to get a purg staff with Warp Nexus to get higher crit chance and even give that whole theory craft a chance

[severe folio]

apparently the thing that chaos and daemonhost hate and weak against the most are the Pariah Gene

[night marten]

warp nexus purge feels real good

[ornate hamlet]

Game felt the smoothest I’ve seen across all betas

[left mirage]

Have they changed anything with psyker in the most recent update

[ornate hamlet]

Tbh the last patch actually helped a ton. Still a long way to go but actually happy at this progress

[severe folio]

they made it worse

[left mirage]

Wtf

[zealous merlin]

It's progress, but i can't wait for the 1.0 someday

[severe folio]

bugs

[left mirage]

Classic fatshark

[empty granite]

What did they change that you liked, specifically?

[ornate hamlet]

Some minor bugs that don’t really seem to matter all that much

[night marten]

purge feels better, but surge staff and peril in general are not great lol

[robust meteor]

do u mean to be in preacher channel?

[empty granite]

Lol

[ornate hamlet]

Stability and it also feels like you don’t die from high peril on staves anymore

My game feels like it’s running smoother on higher frames

[midnight fulcrum]

yeah for not being seizure inducing purge staff is indeed objectively better now

[severe folio]

i been getting more crash

[night marten]

they fixed that for surge last patch, but I hear you

[empty granite]

Stability is a global net positive. As for staff changes, two patches ago they changed the Surge staff to not pop you at 85%+

[ornate hamlet]

I haven’t played in a week since i was a bit disappointed

[tawny maple]

Pariah gene alone can't rip your soul out and send it to the warp with absolute guarantee, psyker with force weapon often can though 👀

[severe folio]

pariah genes are completely unaffected by warp

[ornate hamlet]

The bug for quelling being delayed seems not that big a deal since I swap to staff anyway

[severe folio]

they have no connection to the warp

[night marten]

I've been getting by just fine mostly

[tawny maple]

Exactly, and that's why grey knights are all psykers. Because while pariahs are less affected psykers are actually deadly to deamon spawns

[ornate hamlet]

I played a few damnation rounds and honestly didn’t know there was a bug till someone told me

[severe folio]

i hope we dont forget this is tobias speaking

[empty granite]

I mean, I didn't know about the BB delay until I read about it. I so rarely BB spam at 100% anymore because it's not nearly as useful as other options when fighting.

[ornate hamlet]

I usually only BB after ult on priority elites

[tawny maple]

how do you kill bosses from a distance then

[severe folio]

shoot

[tawny maple]

with what

[severe folio]

staff

[empty granite]

Staff left clicks or melee

[ornate hamlet]

Or swap to staff to quell faster anyway

[severe folio]

or focus on the hoarde

[ornate hamlet]

Quell to 0 and repeat

[manic halo]

i want an ice staff

would be cool, let me frozone everywhere

[severe folio]

that would be cool

[ornate hamlet]

I want the old bolt staff so I can anime through hitscan void at mobs

[manic halo]

heh

[severe folio]

but i actually have not seen a single ice psyker thing

[manic halo]

cool

[severe folio]

very strange

[tawny maple]

melee from a distance? Staff m1 is so weak compared to BB spam dps

[ornate hamlet]

Just swap to staff and quell. Quelling from BB is bad gameplay

[empty granite]

Hit a weakspot. If you can't close the distance, then yes don't melee and focus on the horde or something else.

[tawny maple]

Waiting 5 seconds to quell fully just for 3 BB is counterproductive

[hushed glade]

which blessing do I want for peril block axe?

[manic halo]

do psykers even use ice in the lore

[empty granite]

Block eff?

[manic halo]

anyone know

[severe folio]

brutal momentum

[severe folio]

no

[manic halo]

[empty granite]

Shit, blessings, sorry.

[severe folio]

at least i dont see a single thing about ice

[manic halo]

day ruined

[severe folio]

seem to be about

telepathy

astropath

fire, lightning

geomancy, biomancy

[ornate hamlet]

However you want to play go for it brother

[tawny maple]

maybe some xenos do, I didn't see any mention of sanctioned psykers using ths kind of spells

[manic halo]

no need to quell if just not a bitch smh

[dense cloud]

pomfg people dont listne to you when you sasy cvome here or bot wil agro deamonshost and just igonre you smh

[manic halo]

just blow up

[dense cloud]

20 mion waisted

[tawny maple]

wish I could blow up inside the beast of nurgle

[ornate hamlet]

Peril block helps with daemonhost victims

[manic halo]

ay that would be funny

[ornate hamlet]

I run rapier and just dodge and hopefully the party has enough dps to keep me from dodging like Disney on ice for 5 minutes

[manic halo]

you would think ice would be a thing

honestly

kinda suprised its not

[drowsy fog]

damn the lore gimme ice staff

[ornate hamlet]

Nothing slows like stopping with lightning. No need for ice hahahaha

I want ice though

[tawny maple]

Warp channeling takes many forms but making something solid like ice with it would be.. more difficult I suppose

[robust meteor]

oof just got dc'd

error code 9999?

[vital bough]

Now I know what a lot of you are going to say, as soon as you see “Blazing Spirit” on the Force Sword. ‘Wow, that perk is trash! Why would he use that..??’

I'll tell you why!
Combine Warn Nexus for 25% Crit at 100% peril, 8% crit on the Force Sword itself, and a Force Sword alt-charge that hits for 3 ticks in one crit, and you can now instantly apply 12 stacks of Soulblaze on a Reaper or Bulwark Ogryn, while crit'ing for around 1500 damage, plus AT LEAST ticking for 160 dmg a second from just 10 stacks of SoulBlaze from the Blazing Spirit blessing. Even on Damnation, on top of stacking other SoulBlaze effects like Kinetic Overload, and funneling every extra Warp Charge that you get from Ascending Blaze and Psychic Communion, you can likely crit most elites with a single Force Sword alt-charge, and let the burn kill them after.

The Block Efficiency and Gunner Resistance is to reduce peril gained when blocking with Deflector, as well as increase overall survivability, letting you get those clutch revives off for your teammates when you need it.

Try it out, maybe you'll like it.

[tawny maple]

See, the problem is that this is really only useful against mutants or ragers. Just because you aren't going to be hitting reapers and bulwarks with the sword all that much (I mean, your existence itself is a counter to bulwarks. Why use melee then)

It's a fun build, for sure, but I wouldn't rely on special attack crits.

[compact cargo]

Kinetic overload? 🤮

[vital bough]

So, some interesting stats on Soulblaze damage per second from Kinetic Overload.
4 stacks = 21
8 stacks = 76
12 stacks = 153
16 stacks = 240
20 stacks = 326
(This could possibly stack higher but I can't test in the meatgrinder as everything but the Crusher dies before I can proc Kinetic Overload more than 5 times)

Also the stacks applied from your Purg staff have their own max stack limit(found in the 'Burn' bar when inspected) , but Soulblaze from Feats seems to override this and stack even higher than that when given the opportunity.
Example: My Purg staff has 80% on the Burn bar, max stack of 15 Soulblaze for 197 damage per tic at 15 stacks; yet Kinetic Overload will continuously stack past what a Purg staff can stack to, though the meatgrinder doesn't give good chances for me to stack kinetic overload as quickly as it could in a real match.

(all this testing was also done before these latest changes in the last patch)

I think inherently, if you're running a purg staff and using Ascending Blaze, you're hurting yourself for not taking Kinetic Overload

[manic halo]

once again the psyker chat seems to use its brain more than the other channels

this is lore accurate good job swamp

[remote kraken]

Put this on the forums for people with photophobia but please do not use the surge staff you will end up hurting your eyes stay safe guys.

[vital bough]

Thanks man I'm just looking at the numbers and throwing ideas out there

[compact cargo]

Makes sense with my testing of purge not adding soulblaze stats properly compared to talent soulblaze, so we may be onto something or a mistake by FS

[static epoch]

yeah I'm going to do this today thanks

[vital bough]

Also this is Damnation in the Meatgrinder, just for a reference on damage to stuff at Damnation

And that's a lvl 3 Blessing applying only 2 stacks at once

[manic halo]

is there any psyker talent that gives crits/ higher chance to crit

[vital bough]

I fucking wish. Most I've seen is the Warp Nexus blessing for your staff, and crit chance on weapon perks.

But at least Warp Nexus from your staff works for your melee too.

Don't think it works for your BB though, I thought it but I've tested it and it doesn't

[manic halo]

unfortunate. I was thinking about how crazy that would be with zealots ult

[compact cargo]

Still shame we don't have more fun staff blessings, nothing with soulblaze either

[potent echo]

Where is soulblaze deaths causes your enemies to explode

[teal needle]

Same place as force swords kills cause your enemies to explode

[empty granite]

Warp Nexus on a staff gives crit to the melee weapon as well?

Any evidence?

[vital bough]

If they changed Wrack and Ruin from 2 SB stacks to enemies around Elites on BB, into 1 stack of SoulBlaze to all enemies within 3 meters when an enemy dies to SoulBlaze, I'd fucking love it.

[potent echo]

Wrack and ruin needs a look over it's irrelevant on all difficulties, and I've tried to use it

I thought it might be good on heresy/damnation due to how packed gunners are but 3 meters is too small of an aoe

[vestal finch]

Doesn't Warp Nexus only affect staves?

[vital bough]

Take it into Meatgrinder, hit max peril, and swap to your melee.

I've had no dev confirmation but it definitely hits crits more often on your melee, and my only source of crits atm is Warp Nexus.

Just keep in mind, orange hits are weak spot, only bright yellow is a crit

[drowsy fog]

team agrees to let me attempt pick n mix, vet proceeds to mow everything down anyway

[night marten]

this might be good

[potent echo]

The warp battery breakpoint for stalkers/shooters is much more important imo

[dense cloud]

😛 😄

[potent echo]

Also warpcharges increases burn damage because 🤷

[night marten]

wouldn't go that far, it's definitely usable but 6 stacks is still a decent choice imo

[dense cloud]

what is best spot to farm palsteel ? what difculty?

[drowsy fog]

malice

[potent echo]

Malice run assassination

[drowsy fog]

since the vet was just mowing everything down I was throwing out bbs hoping to get lucky with pick n mix and ended up with serial killer... fun

[vital bough]

What do you mean stalkers/shooters? You can BB gunner and shotgunner elites on Damnation and 1 shot them with 0 warp charges, but idk what stalkers are. If you mean trappers you can 1 shot them with 0 warp charges on Damnation as well with just 1 BB.

The only breakpoint I'm aware of is that Warp Battery allows you to kill flamers on Heresy, compared to normal.

[vestal finch]

Probably a poor translation of "reaper"

[vital bough]

But you can't even kill flamers on Damnation with full 6 charges of Warp Battery either

[potent echo]

Stalkers/shooters are the official name for scab/dreg riflemen

[potent echo]

You want to melee flamers

[vital bough]

Oh gotcha

Yeah I know I'm just discussing BB breakpoints

[tawny maple]

pretty sure "stalkers" are the hybrid infantry that has both ranged and melee

[vestal finch]

I reject your truth and replace it with my own

[potent echo]

It's not BB breakpoints it's ascendant blaze breakpoints

[night marten]

decent curios

[potent echo]

It's the ultimate wallhack you just F through an airlock with 6 stacks and watch your warpcharge increase

[night marten]

want to roll the first perk of the first to be corruption resistance though, don't need 3 bombers

[tawny maple]

I don't run +toughness since you have to be at 100% to negate melee damage, and with more toughness you just make it more difficult to get the full bar

[steel egret]

Max is 25 max health and 20 for toughness

[night marten]

didn't realize total toughness affected regen time

[steel egret]

So I dont know how decent these are

[night marten]

I've never seen higher than a 20, so it's the best I've got lol

[dense cloud]

did the nerf acentand blaze ?:

[night marten]

no

[steel egret]

21% best Ive seen.

[tawny maple]

I don't hink it affects regen time, but feats that give you specific amount and not percentage+ melee kills toughness it does

[vital bough]

Yeah I see how with 4 stacks it does 23 dmg per tick, 6 stacks it does 49 so it technically doubles your damage.

Either way though, I don't typically use AB for horde killing as much as spacing and giving room just so I can use the staff, the purg staff will ultimately apply a higher stack count and do more burn damage in the end anyways. And I really do think the amount of warp charges you can passively gain with Psychic Communion and Ascending Blaze's burn kill chance, can really ramp up and do insane amounts of what is potentially infinitely stacking damage. Which could specifically be good for killing the Nurgle monstrosities.

[steel egret]

Its % at second so more means more toughness points gained by second

[vital bough]

I guess it depends on what you really want for yourself, but I'd prefer the single target stacking damage on elites when I already have the purg staff itself for the horde clear and management

[steel egret]

Albeit if you calculate max of 175 psyker can get and then max regular regen at 160%

[night marten]

so I was previously a big fan of 6-stack AB because it singlehandedly wipes hordes. but

the testing with KO today, and how it latches onto any elite even remotely close to you while needing only two stacks to kill a rager *on damnation made me think KO is a better pick in higher difficulties

look at the range that KO procs on the elite #psyker-class message

[steel egret]

In comparison to having 100 toughness its atleast doubled speed of coherence return.

[normal gazelle]

Psyker do be playin kinda ass though with the nonscaling bb damage and finicky staffs

[vital bough]

I think it has a decent argument for this, mostly because the amount of enemies you mow through on higher difficulties directly correlates with your average Warp Charges a minute

[normal gazelle]

I'm lvl 25 and so far its been my least favorite

it was great at the start, and has just progressively gotten worse

[vestal finch]

I started with psyker...

[normal gazelle]

oh, and shitty feats that dont do anything interesting

[night marten]

you need to run purge+ab, and maybe even communion, to really start racking up charges, in addition to high enemy density

oh you meant psyker generally

[normal gazelle]

why run purge when I can just play zealot

[steel egret]

Sounds like veteran talk

[tawny maple]

purge DoT is better

[boreal sun]

the problem with KO is that while it is good

[normal gazelle]

worse range and sustainment

[boreal sun]

if you're not bursting elites to begin with, it's almost a waste

isn't KO you HAVE to get a kill with BB for it to transfer over?

[vital bough]

Yeah, it's targeting is VERY friendly and works exactly how you would probably want it to. It picks the closest elite, no matter the density of enemies around you. So even if you're killing an entire 200 man horde from holding a hallway with purg, you'll be procing 4 stacks of SB every time you get a Warp Charge and stacking it on nearby ragers, gunners, shotgunners, bulwarks, etc...

It's actually very user friendly its just really easy to forget about and feel like it's not doing anything

But it actually can pump damage

[night marten]

you're thinking wrack and ruin

[tawny maple]

16 meters isn't that much worse As for sustainment you can spam it enough. After all you don't even need ammo

[boreal sun]

which one is ko

[night marten]

KO means ANY new charges after max drop 4 soulblaze stacks on the elite closest to you in a wide range

[normal gazelle]

idk I feel like my flamer melts bosses on damnation but my psyker cant compare

[boreal sun]

disregarding brain nurst

thats good then

[normal gazelle]

its just night and day difference in impact

[boreal sun]

psyker flamer better

[night marten]

blasting high-density hordes with mixed elites makes it useful *using purgatus

[boreal sun]

cuz blue

[vital bough]

You don't even have to brain burst, Psychic Communion and Ascending Blaze net you all the outside soures of warp charges you need.

And every warp charge gives you burn, which can give you another warp charge through ascendant blaze, which nets another warp... Etc

Can turn into an endless cycle

Theoretically

[normal gazelle]

this is true but I dont like being useless against armored groups on heresy ^ and damnation

I tried voidstrike but its hitbox is weird

[night marten]

I use FS, so anything armored dies pretty fast, and if there's trash mobs I'll burn those while stacking KO

[vital bough]

Flak is an easy melt with purg and Force Sword can slap through carapace pretty easily for big chunks

[tawny maple]

Force sword special has one of the highest single target damage rates

[normal gazelle]

problem with force sword is same reason I dont like chain weapons, I have to stand still up close

as a psyker too

[manic halo]

i hope psyker gets a new weapon next

[tawny maple]

but you can also push to stagger everything nearby for a window of attack. Chain weapon can't do that

[vital bough]

I get that, but if you shove or F to make space, it's a really good chunk of damage when you can get it off.

It's all how you wanna play though

[normal gazelle]

I suppose I just find psyker gameplay really unrewarding and unimpactful

then again, I feel that way about all the classes in different situations

zealot and veteran are the best about avoiding it in my experience

[night marten]

sounds like zealot being your main was a good choice

[normal gazelle]

the difference between me and a toxic retard is that I want to like it

[jaunty atlas]

man the new surge staff is awesome. i understand the problem but ... damn, i hope they'll give a toggle

[night marten]

FS just going to need at least a few months before things really settle from a balance perspective

[normal gazelle]

I'm just struggling to find something other than "Debatably better zealot flamer build"

[night marten]

unless they keep introducing new gear/subclasses, in which case it will just be a continuously evolving shitshow

[normal gazelle]

thats effective

[tawny maple]

I hope they just make lightning look more like powerful lightning and not long blue zigzags 😭

[normal gazelle]

honestly fire staff was a mistake when they could have made something more unique

class overlap isnt fun imo

[night marten]

but listerine fire is so cool

[idle bay]

Next patch: we added bunch of hallucinogenic visual effects to make psyker players feel Peril as more potent.

[normal gazelle]

it would be fine with the feats or as an aftereffect of a staff secondary, but blue flamer is kinda lame

[jaunty atlas]

i like the crackling sound of high voltage and thick rays too but he

[sonic aspen]

Next Patch: We make your character hear the voices and whispers all the time and talk to themselves to make it more realistic to psykers

[jaunty atlas]

in inquisitor : martyr peril is so much worse, you have no idea

[idle bay]

I have - i played it since earliest beta

[jaunty atlas]

then you know the struggle !

the headaches

[night marten]

it's honestly kept me playing psyker through the balance challenges. literally the coolest part of the class

[normal gazelle]

lightning staff is awesome but I kinda wish they would just make it build more peril in exchange for removal of the damage falloff

[vital bough]

In a constructed 4 man group, theoretically the best Psyker build can be accredited to the Surge Staff since it's the best CC in the game. The biggest issue is that it's not good at group clear, which is why lots pair it with the Antax and peril blocking from the lvl 20 feat tree, since you can tank hordes and cleave through chunks of them at a time with the shove-attack spam on an Antax MK V

I just think fire is fun lol

[tawny maple]

really? Tell us, I'm curious

[night marten]

would prefer they take zealot's flamer away

[normal gazelle]

yeah this

they need to get rid of the horrendous damage dropoff on the chained targets with the surge staff

in exchange for something

[vital bough]

I believe that depends on your bas modifiers but I could be wrong

[normal gazelle]

also buff its effectiveness against armor maybe to give it a unique niche

[cyan notch]

it does decent damage to armor already

[tawny maple]

it already has higher damage against armour, chech the damage table

[jaunty atlas]

man i'll try to find a video, but basicly you created events of the warp, on the map, you could make daemons spawn and at high level, you're perma 100% peril, the screen is violet with effects and shit all over the place

[normal gazelle]

Im aware, and it still does less damage than an equivalent voidstrike staff

buff!

[winter shard]

seems i got lucky today

[fallow meadow]

My emperor gift me this, good to use?

[tawny maple]

sounds like an annoying design choice lol

[night marten]

the stats are good, but gotta reroll that perk

and hope you get a good blessing for the second

[tawny maple]

now u just need to get warp nexus on it

[winter shard]

for sure, i only just got it a minute ago, haven't had time to do anything to it yet

[stark nebula]

Anyone know if the Charge Up attack on the force sword does more damage as a heavy attack? Or is it the same as the quick attack when charged?

[night marten]

it's unfortunately the least useful damage type to get a buff for since the base damage against it is near nothing

[cyan notch]

more as heavy

[night marten]

pretty sure is does more as heavy

[stark nebula]

kk thanks guys

[vital bough]

I would reroll the carapace damage since it barely does any damage at all to carapace. 25% of 4 damage is only 1 damage, after all.

If you get flak though, that's probaby one of the better ones for prug

[static epoch]

I got carapace on my mk5 it's like 224 dmg, worth it for poking imo

[winter shard]

i'll consecrate it to see if the 2nd perk is worse than the first

[jaunty atlas]

well you had to avoid them, fight them, build resistances, it was good, but ultimately you build so much resist that you plainly walk in them; it was kind of interesting though*

[night marten]

infested is also good

[vital bough]

Or cit. Apparently critting with Purg can apply double stacks though I haven't verrified this

[winter shard]

but first i need more diamintine

[night marten]

it does

purple penguin and I tested it earlier with similar results

[vital bough]

Yeah so you may want crit and warp nexus on the purg then

[night marten]

crit chance is king on purge

[tawny maple]

can't really get worse than that, unless you get crit damage

[night marten]

even crit damage would be preferable

[winter shard]

true, but i could get it again for the 2nd beforehand

[runic gate]

Are ragers counted as elite for going out with a bang?

[tawny maple]

purg doesn't do crit damage though, you want crit chance

[night marten]

it does

[robust meteor]

anything u can tag that's not a special

[tawny maple]

on m1?

[robust meteor]

or monster ofc

[night marten]

yea @tawny maple

[vital bough]

The burn, specifically, doesn't have crit damage or crit chance iirc. But the M1 and the on-hit for when you apply M2 stacks can crit, thus they do double damage and apply double stacks, I guess.

[night marten]

on both primary and secondary

[tawny maple]

ehh both are equally bad, carapace would at least consistently give you plus 1 damage hahaha

[night marten]

soulblaze can't crit, but purge's direct damage can

yea but a crit could give you +100 or +200 on a single tick

you don't crit very often though, so it's really not great

still better than carapace

[vital bough]

yeah not so much about the on hit damage, as it is critting to apply double stacks

[fringe remnant]

should i upgrade a force sword with deflector and poor stats, or upgrade a force sword with ok stats and hope it gets deflector?

[cyan notch]

which one

[night marten]

link

[night marten]

use the type you prefer

oh, damn skins..

[fallow meadow]

#psyker-class message
any opinion on my Duelling Sword? Never try one before.

[night marten]

right for sure

[cyan notch]

hmm ok

[fringe remnant]

the deflector one has a real poor damage roll

so many shop checks and nothing above 370

[night marten]

cloud radius is a big deal, and the perk is one of the three useful ones (providing it's working)

[night marten]

yea that's not great.

go for deflector on left, otherwise just use something else, probably ant axe V for easy progression until you get another shot at an FS that isn't bad

[robust meteor]

the damage scaling is low on fs tho

look at the real numbers

[fringe remnant]

deflector is just so useful

[tawny maple]

correct, it's warp resist + finesse you really care about

[fringe remnant]

its nearly double the damage on special attack in the psykenarium

[fallow meadow]

But the damage scaling should also work on special attack. It can be quite a change there.

[robust meteor]

are you using the fs because of the special attack or deflector?

[tawny maple]

first target does much more on special attack tbh

[robust meteor]

fs doesn't do much damage even when its a god roll

[night marten]

I'm not sure

[fringe remnant]

deflector. firestaff is so close range that the deflector makes ranged rooms bareable. no other melee option does that

[robust meteor]

i was really liking fs on the scanning mission with the unlimited horde

cant remember the name

was standing inside the person scanning and 360 pushing

[cyan notch]

hab dreyko

[fringe remnant]

yeah the combination of push and deflector makes all other melee seem fragile

[undone badge]

will we ever get the chance to reroll blessings like we can reroll perks?

[vital bough]

Yes

[undone badge]

oh nice

[vital bough]

From what I understand, you may be able to somehow take perks from weapons you already have. Though I'm not 100% sure on this.

Either way, it may be worth it to hold onto high tier blessings in case you can put them on another weapon later

[night marten]

seems like you're only getting a mild benefit out of significantly higher finesse and first target stats on FS special here

[robust meteor]

i wish it vented peril faster. that feels bad

even with the perk it barely makes it bearable

blessing rather

[vital bough]

FS also makes up for one of Purgatus' biggest weaknesses, damage to carapace. FS alt-charge can do hefty chunks on a heavy alt-charge

Add Deflector to that, and you only sweeten the deal

[fringe remnant]

yeah i reckon i'll just upgrade the crap deflector and keep grinding for more force swords

[tawny maple]

FS superiority, you're not my siblings if you don't run at least one force weapon

[vital bough]

You disappoint me, sibling

[warm delta]

better to keep flamming rather than try deal with the carapace in a mixed horde, let someone else deal with it

[robust meteor]

shotcut crashing. i want to post a wtf moment, damnit

[cobalt tartan]

carapace more like carapiss

[undone badge]

flame to clear the chaff then FS special to deal with the survivors

[night marten]

that's the plan anyway. whether it works out that way is another story

[vital bough]

Of course, but sometimes there's only a crusher and a bulwark left, or a couple ragers. In those situations, I'd rather alt-charge the ragers and crushers for the big damage, as well as being able to stun them during the hit animation.

It's all about situational options

Especially when you're the last one alive

[warm delta]

yes by all means, just saying if situation allows

[undone badge]

now just hope that damn servitor finds a good purgatus for me

[warm delta]

I got a good purgatus, when can I get a decent FS

[cobalt tartan]

just waiting for a good force sword now, im still on dueling sword like a noob

[warm delta]

lol thats exactly me

[vital bough]

Damn that Peddler 138/143, he won't give me a karking thing that I want

[cobalt tartan]

i mean i have a decent force sword but no defelctor on it, should i just risk it and upgrade

[cobalt tartan]

i guess we will be able to reroll blessing eventually

[undone badge]

I have this weird feeling that since it's "mk II" force sword we might get other versions in future

[warm delta]

go for it

[cobalt tartan]

vfuck

[robust meteor]

2 handed forcesword that does a 360 warp attack

[warm delta]

oh well, tough luck

[cobalt tartan]

i hate obese shark

[undone badge]

didnt psyker get a 2h sword in the trailer

[cobalt tartan]

one day we will get blessing rerolling, on that tday, this becomes a good weapon

[vital bough]

It's a planned addition

But not in yet

[rotund cloak]

pick n mix is harder now, right?

[vital bough]

Yes, because of a bug for peril quelling keeping you from being able to quell peril sometimes lol

[robust meteor]

unfortunately i have double that bug rn because i use m5 to quell and that button is broken, now i dont know if its a bug or my mouse

i broke the mouse from quell spamming

no joke

[rotund cloak]

okay so that's a bug and not an intentional nerf?

thanks!

[vital bough]

Correct.

[half rivet]

well i guess i won't level up my psyker until the next soon™️ patch

[river sand]

sooo everybody seems to be hyped about the dmg from purg. but isnt it kinda shitty beeing so super exposed to every form of ranged dmg ?

[keen glen]

So what's the ETA on psyker shit?

[faint sigil]

god the surge staff is unplayable for me now

motion sick as hell

that's before the flashing

[river sand]

yeah surge isnt playable atm ....

[jaunty atlas]

the game reattribed some of my mouse shortcuts as others. you have a reprogrammed razer ?

[fresh reef]

Apparently vfx on surge is also a bug

[half rivet]

did they even playtest psyker lmao

seems like the answer is no

[vital bough]

It's the main reason Force Sword with Deflector is recommended.

That weapon is also just cool and fun to use, you block bullets with your mind

[robust meteor]

nah model-o. i had to get used to some new bindings

[vital bough]

[faint sigil]

it's a bug that the effect makes me vomit?

they put it in the patch notes tho

[fresh reef]

Base kit deflector when

[faint sigil]

whats the bug

[vital bough]

Alternatively, more weapons for all classes with unique blessings would be cool

[orchid nacelle]

it's kind of funny how fatshark keeps relentlessly nerfing classes that it's difficult to tell whether the quelling bug is actually a bug or working as intended

[fresh reef]

Effect is more intense than intended

[orchid nacelle]

as least now its been confirmed

[full atlas]

https://gyazo.com/a3ca35bd71f2a7ad63f1db530d3d6540
which one is better?

[glass bane]

You can't animation cancel surge with sprint and it seems to cause you to go into struggle mode below 98 peril now zz

[fresh reef]

Would find source but I'm probably wrong

[vital bough]

LOL I know, I said early yesterday morning "hey guys it may be a bug, a bit too early to say" and people kinda jumped me saying "nah dude, they do this shit all the time"

[half rivet]

i was hype for this patch, but how it got released makes me not want to expect anything again from them

[fresh reef]

These are so similar it's honestly hard to say

[forest meadow]

Id say keep Elites

[orchid nacelle]

their defintion of "too strong" seems really arbitrary and misguided

[forest meadow]

More likely to have elites up in your face.

[orchid nacelle]

i get the power sword nerfs

that thing was silly

[forest meadow]

Its still hella strong

tried it

[orchid nacelle]

certainly

[fresh reef]

It now has the best cleave in Darktide, where previously is had the best cleave in the tide franchise

[sick mulch]

cant u just rebind???

[orchid nacelle]

i wish brain burst's right click was like, actually mechanically different in some way

like letting it target multiple enemies or something

that wouldn't be too absurd

[boreal nexus]

alright lads

[ivory marsh]

isnt psyker best class already

[boreal nexus]

ive played two games with this class

and i think it sucks

what am i missing

[orchid nacelle]

your perks

[tawny maple]

levels

[drowsy fog]

levels

[orchid nacelle]

come back at 30

[jaunty atlas]

i whish it could drain the mind of smeone to quell

[ivory marsh]

nothing

[jaunty atlas]

honestly .. the effect is not that bad.

[steel egret]

Sometimes, nothing to drain.

[forest meadow]

Nah it should be like Black Ops 3 Gun Upgrade for Turning Zombies.

[orchid nacelle]

soul drain instead of brain burst would have been nice

[ivory marsh]

ur suppose to use an axe wait in the back till someone dies and then go revive them

[orchid nacelle]

let me do that thing that daemonhosts do

[tawny maple]

now use it in a dark corner

[forest meadow]

Turn them into an ally and have em fight

[ivory marsh]

thats the hot psyker gameplay

[fallow meadow]

you need to unlock wep choice to have some fun.

[drowsy fog]

maybe another subclass

[jaunty atlas]

well to project your mind in theirs

[drowsy fog]

hey look the shop has something that isnt trash this time

[jaunty atlas]

it must be spicy

[fallow meadow]

Starting psyker is just a gun with BB

[steel egret]

Ogryn psyker subclass

[jaunty atlas]

"food"

you make the target hungry. it takes 200 damage.

[drowsy fog]

just how different are the dueling swords from each other?

[steel egret]

One has cleave rest are single target

[fair oracle]

Anyone notice any issues with quelling using your class ability at 100%??

[steel egret]

New feature

[jaunty atlas]

they changed the mechanic to avoid glitches. and exploits. it works.

[steel egret]

With shock staff atleast you can get stuck on fist animation

But it goes off as natural peril degeneration hits

[jaunty atlas]

or F

[steel egret]

Yeah

[fallow meadow]

I had a problem once. My character's hand do the ability motion but nothings happen. I press the button again, it work normally.

[jaunty atlas]

next patch when you reach 100% the char put his hands on his eyes

[fair oracle]

So now if you push yourself to far.. that’s it?? You can’t use your ability to quickly save yourself?

[jaunty atlas]

and scream

[steel egret]

Well atleast staff special attack animation was fixed, everything is in order

[steel egret]

Well you get stuck

But wont blow up

[fallow meadow]

You can still save yourself with it. Just it may not active on one press.

[fair oracle]

And your all happy about this?

[orchid nacelle]

no, we're coping

[steel egret]

Happy is not the word

[fair oracle]

Just ‘overcoming’ the new issue?

[pure rapids]

what else are we supposed to do?

[steel egret]

Deathrattle

[pure rapids]

storm FS HQ and ask them to hurry and fix everything?

[orchid nacelle]

you have two choices, cope or seethe

[pure rapids]

this game needs like a few months more at least

but here we are at release

[fallow meadow]

I am more angry on can't cast lighting smoothly. It almost get me kill multiple times.

[steel egret]

Perfect early access release.

[orchid nacelle]

i had a fever dream about enemy psyker encounters with special interactions with player ones, like being able to see and target eachother through walls and stuff

[compact cargo]

The quelling for 10 seconds must be a bug

[pure rapids]

now a question

wtf are these

[compact cargo]

We call that veteran

[orchid nacelle]

you could get into a telepathic mind battle with them and if you won it would instantly quell your peril

[steel egret]

Had one too, but they could mind control players.

[orchid nacelle]

DUDE

[orchid nacelle]

THEY SHOULD MAKE YOU SHOOT YOURSELF

like the controller from stalker

[steel egret]

In game or

[orchid nacelle]

either works

i'd be impressed if fatshark managed to program an enemy that makes you literally die in real life

[steel egret]

Would be very slow death.

[pure rapids]

well with the VR headset that kills you

they just might be able to

[orchid nacelle]

aggro daemonhost

instant aneurysm

[tawny maple]

not an enemy, but rather a shop system. Point is, they did it already

[orchid nacelle]

i think that would incentivise people to not aggro them

if it just killed you irl

[steel egret]

I get aneurysm just from playing sometimes

[orchid nacelle]

especially with the new surge staff vfx

[steel egret]

Reach assassination room, no one goes melee

[orchid nacelle]

it feels wrong to fight him without a melee weapon anyways

i always try to sync my charge attacks up with the music

[steel egret]

Scab shotgunner with a shield seems like better option to some people

[tired estuary]

my favorite is when they're shooting boss from across the entire room and then get downed by powalkers or smth

[orchid nacelle]

i usually use my melee weapon to pop his shield and then either pop kinetic barrage and start bursting

[steel egret]

RESS

That happen few days ago.

[tired estuary]

orz

[orchid nacelle]

in theory if you want to coax players into aggressively murdering a boss, giving it a brutal thumping theme song is a good way to do it

[compact cargo]

Anyone else hears a voice during high peril calling you little one? Specially been assuring like don't worry over the more hostile voices?

[acoustic nexus]

Consecrate reduce modifier

[orchid nacelle]

not all warp entities are "outwardly" evil i guess?

some could try and finesse their way into your brain

[steel egret]

Nice

[boreal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-rock-gif-21708339

[orchid nacelle]

I like that one high peril line where the loner voice says "...NIGHTMARE...DECAAAAY"

[orchid nacelle]

wait no inquisitor put the shock prod down

[pure rapids]

sound a lot like heretic talk

[orchid nacelle]

noOOO

[robust meteor]

this is the best one ive been able to find. i check the shop religiously

thought i'd have found a better one

by now

[orchid nacelle]

some warp entities are more cunning and devious than others

that's a less heretical way to phrase that

[night marten]

not bad at all, reroll unarmoured to carapace, flak, or maniac and it's a good one

[robust meteor]

its 10% crit from max tho

[night marten]

vOv

you're there to CC, not to kill

crit is a nice to have

[manic halo]

the funny maulter moment

mauler

[robust meteor]

high crit surge staff does both

[cyan notch]

nah max isnt max

my 79% roll is like 22%

[night marten]

it's a good weapon, you could run damn just fine with it

[robust meteor]

i dont understand the scaling

i guess its the rest of the 20%

[cyan notch]

oh nvm ur right mine is 20.8% too

[robust meteor]

comparing the 79% its only half of what i thought it would be

[shadow quail]

When you finally get that new surge staff

[robust meteor]

just rerolled it up to 25% because of these guys littering the map

high dps and low hp

trying to shoot me through walls and floors

[rare trail]

i feel really bad for psykers because their penances are such dogshit, like the suicide one

[shell ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/gru-despicable-me-explode-gif-18746054

[rare trail]

like, it's to antithetical to what you're supposed to do

the only reason why you'd explode is if you're using the bugged surge staff lol

[compact cargo]

That's intended

Atleast we don't have vet penances

[robust meteor]

they were fun i thought

[rare trail]

you thought WRONG

[forest meadow]

Veteran Penances are fine

So are Psyker's

[robust meteor]

pugged pick n mix and going out with a bang

got frustrating for a few of those days but

we did it

[forest meadow]

Exactly all are possible

its just a bitch to get

[past bear]

Which perk should I reroll?

[night marten]

yea those fucking ranged guys

just melt teams

[robust meteor]

i'd reroll specials

[past bear]

To what. crit chance?

[robust meteor]

idk, without warp nexus its kind of meh

to reroll for crit i mean

[night marten]

flak is generally really useful, unarmored could help with breakpoints?

[robust meteor]

but u get to reroll blessings sometime

[static epoch]

I can't take surge effect anymore, I am purgatus enjoyer now

[dense cloud]

omfg it seems like deping on your lvl when you bought the items you cant rol t4

i hyave a 72 base item

but it cant rol t4

[robust meteor]

i did purge after using surge constantly. went down a lot

[dense cloud]

i have qa 68 iteim it can rol t4

[night marten]

yea, items are fixed to the scaling based on the level you bought them. if you've got something sub-30, it's probably not going to be able to be as effective

[dense cloud]

rip

[night marten]

which really fucking sucks honestly, for casuals anyway

basically just means sub 30 you should minimize new purchases and avoid any crafting, saving mats instead

[cyan notch]

bro what are you typing man

have qa iteim it can rol

[dense cloud]

i jsut roeld for 10 min strait on 72 base curio it never roles t4

i got it befor i was lvl 30

[idle bay]

Imagine for a nano-second that Fatshark will buff Psykers instead of nerfing them constantly.
Then imagine that they buff Peril Explosion in way that make it bigger and to make it guarantied to one-shot any elite or special and deal huge chunk of damage to mini-bosses and bosses.
In that case "Going out with bang" will no loner be nonsensical penance, but actual part of one of the uses for Psyker (suicide-bombing into dangerous enemies).
Now if only someone made a well-written post about it on official forums.... That FS actually reads.
P.S. my english is too bad, and too much emotions spills into the texts

[sturdy radish]

jesus bro relax

[mild lotus]

how is the cosmetic even worse than before

[crystal wigeon]

at least we got a new nap

wait

we didn't

[scenic wind]

What qurios are best for psykes? toughness or hp?

[sturdy radish]

what do you guys think is the best melee weapon for us

[idle bay]

Axe!

[gloomy raptor]

I don't think Psyker needs buffs for larger enemies, but for ways to deal with smaller enemies like Pox Hounds, where you lose the 1-hit kill on Heresy and above, maybe being able to partially charge Brain Burst for a faster damage proc, maybe dealing 30% of damage at half charge

[idle bay]

MK V axe to be more specific

[sturdy radish]

thx

[frigid marten]

With peril block

[idle bay]

Peril Block is so good that i'm afraid it will be next on "tweakeing" (nerfing) block...

[gloomy raptor]

Be preferable if they buffed the other 2 feats on the row

[idle bay]

Fatshark, buff in same sentence ? Never!

[gloomy raptor]

When I played Borderlands 3, players thought the same thing about Gearbox nerfing guns

It's a phase they'll grow out of once things settle down

[brave vale]

What are the best perks for the Surge staff? (Perks, not blessings)

[covert cosmos]

despite being smaller enemies, pox hounds have the hp of a large enemy

[forest meadow]

Probably Unarmoured

And like Mutants

Since your always trying to stun them

[potent echo]

Mutants are maniac

[brave vale]

what about 25% damge to unyielding enemies

[potent echo]

I think taking crit is better

[brave vale]

currently

[forest meadow]

Good for Bosses

[potent echo]

Get crit damage

[forest meadow]

and Bulwarks

[potent echo]

You wouldn't use a surge on a boss 👀

[forest meadow]

And Monstrositys

[desert mountain]

Haven't been able to play the new patch yet and I'm hearing we've been nerfed by a bug? Even the game hates psykers which tbf is lore accurate

[forest meadow]

Well Surge can't be used since VFX is Fucked but Purge is insane now

[potent echo]

Yes everyone hates psykers even psykers themselves

[forest meadow]

Purge is great fro Damn

[brave vale]

bis?

[vivid merlin]

When do we get new cosmetic options that aren't an Ogryn urinal mounted on our head

[gloomy raptor]

Quicken needs something more to it, like Reload Speed/Attack Speed/Quell Speed during cooldown for every Warp Charge consumed

[glad jasper]

yoooo the side hood for the psyker tho

kinda bussin

[azure radish]

[vivid merlin]

side hood?

[forest meadow]

Well new fit

[vivid merlin]

oh are they out now

neat I was joking

[near wyvern]

I just use the goggle hood because status symbols

[potent echo]

Nice

[brave vale]

ty

we'll be able to reroll both blessings when that comes out right?

[worn jewel]

Someone in ObeseFish is a fan of Darth Helmet

[static epoch]

use this if you want to get away from the new surge effect

[brave vale]

WHAT

[static epoch]

it's only 700 aquilas

[brave vale]

WHAT IS THAT

[worn jewel]

Lol does that actually work

[scenic wind]

He can't see like that!

[static epoch]

It better, trying it now lmao

[worn jewel]

at this point i wouldnt be surprised

[static epoch]

hahaha

[brave vale]

wait wym new surge effect

[worn jewel]

Go use the staff

Feel Tzeentch gouging your eyes irl

[static epoch]

50% blinding 50% ptsd

[crystal wigeon]

wow it looks much worse in game

wait that's different armor lmao

sorry for shitting on your psyker, she looks very polite

[polar rampart]

You guys like my psyker fashion?

[drowsy fog]

lookin gooooood

[copper plank]

Oh I really like that

[full egret]

Okay, you know something that annoys me? Why does the toughness regen from veteran elite kills stack but not psyker warp charges?

It’s so stupid and arbitrary

[lean plinth]

Is there a penalty for shooting through teammates?

[worn jewel]

Is it me

or did psykers get the worst shop cosmetics so far? Not including the standalone helmets

[polar rampart]

A 9 month pregnancy

[crystal wigeon]

i like the new armor but the weird camo(???) pattern just looks stupid

[worn jewel]

Thats the issue

[crystal wigeon]

like it's a fucking mage, why the weird pattern

[gloomy raptor]

The hats on them are egregious, but the upper body and legs are fine on their own

[crystal wigeon]

and the leggings look like, well

[steep bridge]

Guys do abominations spawn on random or do they have some spawning condititons

[worn jewel]

Zealots get Super Preacher and a Crusader skin. Vets get a Catachan and Death Korps-esque skin. Ogryns get two flavours of Bullgryn

We get crippled psyker and green psyker?

[potent echo]

There at set boss spawn locations on the map. Whether they spawn or not is by chance

[forest meadow]

Give me some amazing staff skins man

not shitty camo

[crystal wigeon]

what i see when looking at the new pants

[steep bridge]

Same, i don't like the new Psyker drip

[remote tusk]

Blue camo smear on 5% of the staff not good enough for you?

[crystal wigeon]

but like more like pajamas vibes

[vague chasm]

Have the Malleus Monstrum chestpiece? Or a screenshot which takes the whole body (with your current fit)? I would love to see how it looks in its entirety. I already dumped 700 Aquila's on the headpiece so I'm not sure if I should get it.

[vague chasm]

Steel Legion actually 🤓

[static epoch]

give me 15 minutes

[vague chasm]

Still I think we got 2 of the best headpieces that have come out

[vague chasm]

Yeah sure, thank you very much!

[worn jewel]

Our only saving grace is headgear

[small hornet]

The main outfit is dogshit

Well

Absurdly goofy looking

[worn jewel]

its the color

[vague chasm]

Completely agree. RN I'm only waiting for a repentia set for the preacher or a sister of battle altogether and maybe maybe a Death Korps of Krieg.

[remote tusk]

Death Korps will be a money printer

[vague chasm]

100%

[limpid lily]

that looks bloody amazing.

[small hornet]

It’s a good one

The other one looks good too

[limpid lily]

wish the armor plates were gold too but hey, it's amazing enough

[warm carbon]

Hood goes hard

[deft seal]

I know it's a little controversial but it'd be nice to see a set with some Chaos corruption. After all we do murder over 1000 Chaos corrupted creatures every time we go into turtium

[wise pecan]

I’m pretty sure if we showed any signs of corruption at all we’d be executed on the spot

[vague chasm]

The hood itself is good, I need to see it with the malleus Monstrum chest because rn I don't think it blends too well. As I said before I wouldn't want to dump another 700 Aquilas if I'm not 100% sure I like it.

[wise pecan]

Given the risk involved in a nurgle infestation

[small hornet]

Yea, completely understandable

kinda ridiculous you can't preview it on your character

I would have not bought this

if I had known

it would remove my hair and beard

[forest meadow]

What hood do you want to see with MAlleus chest?

[small hornet]

It's fucking HIDEOUS

[deft seal]

not going to lie, that looks like something the heretics would wear XD

[idle bay]

Preacher needs Repentia garments from Sororitas. amle version as well to make our eyes bleed 🙂

[vague chasm]

Definitely, it already saved me a lot of Aquilas seeing how shit some cosmetics were on other players.

[vague chasm]

Personally the new one which I don't remember the name, the gold/red one

[forest meadow]

The red hood? in the shop Currently?

I could show if you want

[small hornet]

Yea, I’m definitely gonna hold off on buying shit before seeing it on other people

[vague chasm]

Yeah

[small hornet]

I wasted 900 aquilas on a hood I never want to wear

[forest meadow]

lemme finish mission then

[small hornet]

[vague chasm]

I'd love to! Thanks, I already got the rebreather from last week so I want to see which looks cooler

[vague chasm]

Which one? The preacher hood that was in the store before?

[small hornet]

Zealot mask

I will wear it as a mark of shame

[vague chasm]

Oh I get it, it isn't that bad but it fits the whole BDSM genre

[cyan notch]

i tried using revolver after they buffed it a bit

holy shit it is hot trash still

damage is pathetically low takes like 3 or more shots to kill an elite

[forest meadow]

Ill send now

When the game loads

[worn jewel]

I miss my surge staff

Purgatus is fun but its not the same

[worn jewel]

Ironically i think the hood suits the previous penance outfit and not the final one

[forest meadow]

That is what I have been thinking

Sticking it on other things

However

Kinda dig the other

[small hornet]

What armor is this?

[forest meadow]

Malleus Monstronum Armor

[worn jewel]

fits to a t

[forest meadow]

Actually looks great

[small hornet]

Man

I should grind the penaces

for the sick drip

[vague chasm]

Yeah definetely looks good

[forest meadow]

You want to know my Fav tho with that Chest

[worn jewel]

Pilot-esque gas mask?

Yeap

[forest meadow]

It just works

[worn jewel]

on the ball, its the best one

[vague chasm]

But I think I prefer this

[worn jewel]

Lol

[vague chasm]

Well I see we have the same views ahahha

This drip is unbeatable imo

[forest meadow]

The Earnable Cosmetic legs are cool but Peg Braced Leg and Knife on the other wins for me.

They be a hard choice

[vague chasm]

Yes they were cool but overall I think this and the pick and mix ones are still better. They all look cool tho

[forest meadow]

Just missing the final goggles hood now

Need to grind 20 more games

[vague chasm]

GG you're far ahead

Pick n mix I think is 100% impossible rn

[forest meadow]

All my Veteran, Preacher and Psyker Penances are completed. Just the Games Completed are needed now.

[forest meadow]

How so?

They made it beatable for me

10 Seconds was way to little time

2 seconds more was all i needed

[vague chasm]

BB is bugged and after the second time you reach 100% the quell stops for 3-5 seconds

[patent ledge]

the head cosmetic is pretty much the only one i bought, the bundle feels like im cosplaying as megamind

[drowsy fog]

impossible because veterans are assholes

[potent echo]

You can still do 5 bbs from 0 peril I think

With the feat

[forest meadow]

Oh shit yeah with the new content drop right

Possibly

haven't tried

Pick@n'Mix was thew worst time of my life going for it

never bothered with BB afterwards

[worn jewel]

Both bundles has megamind/darth helmet costplay vibes

[forest meadow]

Just use Staves

[brisk panther]

Have anyone seen any info, thread or mentioning about the stealth nerf to the move tech of heavy attack into slide? its about 20-30% slower now than before the patch.

It's clearly changed and nothing in the patch notes about this

[worn jewel]

The body armor wouldnt be so bad if not for the atrocious green brown coloring

[tired totem]

So all staffs are equally good, yes?

[potent echo]

Slidetech is dead

[forest meadow]

Ehhh Purge is now Better than Surge

[potent echo]

All staffs are equally bad

[brisk panther]

yeah but i see no threads about it

[worn jewel]

Its dead. Just like the 97% BB quell trick

[forest meadow]

But Surge will be comparable when they remove the VFX bug

[patent ledge]

im hoping for a red cosmetic when it comes so that I can pair it good with the headress cosmetic

[vague chasm]

I have to see but I'm in no rush, the drip is complete for me

[potent echo]

Probably less than 500 people knew about it honestly

[brisk panther]

yes i know. but there's* nothing in the patchnotes about this. no mentioning or anything which is sus imo

[potent echo]

[worn jewel]

Im sure ObeseFish considers it a 'bug' that they know players enjoy. Same as animation swapping cancelling.

[vague chasm]

Eh... Surge tends to give migraines now. Is it the right price to pay for unlimited power? Maybe.

[tired totem]

Force Staff is very fun. Love it.

[patent ledge]

next level immersion, real life 100% peril x_x

[brisk panther]

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/surge-staff-new-visual-is-seizure-inducing/69023 hedge has already lifted this to the team since yesterday

[potent echo]

Is this fatshark's trick to make us stop playing and go touch grass

[worn jewel]

except trauma

[brisk panther]

yeah i started leveling a zealot...

[worn jewel]

Trauma needs a reduction in peril cost at minimum

[vague chasm]

Very true

[worn jewel]

I tried that but my zone has a crack ton of zealots

[potent echo]

4lots

[worn jewel]

felt like I had given up and joined the hive

[vague chasm]

My favourite is still voidstrike. There is something so satisfying in shooting in an hallway and seeing the horde crumble under your shots

[patent ledge]

same here, made an ogryn instead

[shell ferry]

All the hats

[brisk panther]

yeah its alot of fun. getting loud headshots (15+ in one heavy attack) is fucking amazing 😄

[forest meadow]

Is Ranged Critical Strike Chance good on a staff?

[potent echo]

Which one?

[worn jewel]

Hehe wait for next patch, they'll improve voidstrike like they did surge. Increase xplosion volume by 400%

[brisk panther]

haha waaat. its already super strong

[forest meadow]

Could this possibly build into something good?

[worn jewel]

356 isnt bad

[brisk panther]

could be decent. you want higher dmg and crit bonus

[sour bison]

its ok

[forest meadow]

Okay wait for another then

[patent ledge]

it has good stats

[brisk panther]

perk is ok but blessing is meh

[worn jewel]

That 80% warp resist is sweet

[potent echo]

Quell speed could be higher

[forest meadow]

Yeah kinda need it on Surge

[patent ledge]

personally i like quell speed and warp resist since i spam surge staff alot against ranged enemies

[worn jewel]

Warp Resist is a must for Surge imo; well over dmg or crit

[forest meadow]

I kinda just view is everything above 65%? then its good

[trail garnet]

How do I find a weapons base crit-chance?

[forest meadow]

Since you can't have anything amazing perfect

[patent ledge]

true, more charges before quelling is pretty dope

[forest meadow]

Has anyone got 100% on anything yet though?

[vague chasm]

With surge what do you do? Charge to max or spam lighting? I' m still not sure which is better

[worn jewel]

Anything above 370 modifier; regardless of distribution is basically perfect

[patent ledge]

nope, it's capped on 80 so far

[sour bison]

Trauma is love

[forest meadow]

Damn I hope they add something so you can buff Percentages

[worn jewel]

I just wish a fully charged blast cost 30% peril and not 50&

[brisk panther]

wish i had blessings from the 465 staff on my main staff ://

[dusky lantern]

do you guys know how to do private games?

[worn jewel]

Thats why im waiting for blessing transfer. Ive got tons of staffs saved. Wanted it more than perk rolling

[dusky lantern]

nvm I see it

[brisk panther]

ye same. dont think we will be able to replace both blessings tho

[forest meadow]

Can you Blessing Transfer or Upgrade as many times as possible?

[warm delta]

found this one in store the other day, very interesting stat distribution

[patent ledge]

i just hope we aren't locked with only 1 blessing swap like the perk swap

[polar rampart]

New Psyker here: is there an objectively best staff?

[worn jewel]

See their damn blog didnt mention locking one out. So im hoping....

[brisk panther]

that one would be worth upgrading imo

[buoyant mantle]

oh, you did not just ask that

[polar rampart]

Bro idk 💀

[patent ledge]

focused channelling is pretty poggers, definitely a keeper when blessing swap is available

[warm delta]

but not gonna use the surge staff until they fix the lighting

[brisk panther]

keeping my expectations low on that one tbh 😄

[brisk panther]

yeah same. im using voidstrike or zealot until they fix it

[vague chasm]

With surge what do you do? Charge to max or spam lighting? I' m still not sure which is better

[forest meadow]

This was my main staff before Surge VFX. Kinda hope for a way to get increase gear score.

[small hornet]

People like Surge, Void, and Purge

But they each have unique uses

[brisk panther]

depends on situation. carapace you can try to full charge because it does good dmg on them. generally just lowest charge to cc everything for your team

[worn jewel]

We can just provide a run-down of its strengths. Best is subjective.
Surge: Best hard CC
Voidstrike: Best Generalist and Horde destoyer in chokepoints
Purgatus: Best horde destroyer in spread engagements, PC GPU Destroyer
Trauma: Best team troll lol

[patent ledge]

surge for cc, void for damage, purge for light cc and horde clear

[vague chasm]

Thank you!

[brisk panther]

voidstrike also elite killer/cc on long range

[warm delta]

I am using Purge now, feels great

[small hornet]

Trauma, I believe, everyone can agree that it’s not that great

[brisk panther]

i hate it 😅

[polar rampart]

Thanks man

[worn jewel]

true. honestly; voidstrike is the one staff thats hard to go wrong

[patent ledge]

trauma is bis

trauma is so effective, you also get traumatized

[ionic island]

Okay wait what's the lighting issue I've heard about? Didn't end up playing today, so what's up with surge staff post-update?

[small hornet]

What about trauma where enemies can’t break your charge?

[worn jewel]

I still remember launch trauma, aoe horde tosser but did almost no dmg even at full charge. Hilarious.

[brisk panther]

voidstrike would go very good together with kind of a melee build. like sienna unchained with fireball staff 🙂

[vague chasm]

Yeah me too, for that job I prefer my preacher so at least I have my eviscerator

[worn jewel]

Only time I got kicked by a 3-man premade was using trauma on launch.

[patent ledge]

i was hoping trauma acted like the corruscation staff but i was disappointed :c

like aoe swirly bois doing dots D:

[brisk panther]

if purgatus was at least on par with zealot flamer it could become viable. but zealot flamer is way stronger together with zealot being alooooooot stronger in melee

[dusky lantern]

bro wtf purgatus is viable

[brisk panther]

what diff are you playing?

[worn jewel]

Purgatus combos with soulblaze and doesnt need ammo. Its not as good as zealot flamer no but it isnt bad.

[dusky lantern]

damnation

hi intensity

[brisk panther]

ait. would love to see some gameplay with it 🙂

[patent ledge]

purgatos with ascendent flame can clear a full room with the warp charges it quickly gains but yeah, i like the zealot flamer

[dusky lantern]

i dont need to prove shit to you lmao just my 2 cents

[brisk panther]

no you dont! im just curious because i want to look into what a good build and playstyle with it would look like. no need to become defensive

[forest meadow]

Get a load of this guy sounding like a 0.3% Player

https://tenor.com/view/british-blchota-gif-21245037

[scenic wind]

is purg flame counted as soulblaze?

[brisk panther]

im pretty sure it is. also pretty sure its not intentional

so 1% dmg and 80% dmg on the purga would be the same

[umbral field]

na bro

[worn jewel]

Yes. It was tested.

[cinder jungle]

Any new psyker hats with this round of cosmetics? (can't get to computer till Sunday)

[worn jewel]

If you take ascendant blaze, you have a 10% chance on purgatus staff kill for stacks

[forest meadow]

Look up

[patent ledge]

yeah, the headdress is pretty nice

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1053252990234013716/image.png

[worn jewel]

Do you like vomit green? How about brown? Thats the new bundle attire. The solo headgear is lit as usual.

[worn jewel]

Sad thing about that hat though, when your Psyker idles and leans forward, you can see his BALD GLORY in all its splendour.

[cinder jungle]

Oof. I scrolled up. Think I'll stick with the copium rebreather and imperial edition outfit.

[forest meadow]

#🚨service-updates message

Ayo!?!?

Surge VFX update

[worn jewel]

They still havent fixed the chest console clipping on the imperial outfit

[forest meadow]

in motion

[drowsy fog]

that new zealot outfit is siiiiick

[patent ledge]

nice, i hope they also fix the quell bug as well in the hotfix

[glossy hemlock]

whats this about a quell bug?

[gloomy raptor]

Wish the Laspistol counted as a Force Weapon, simply because it can generate Peril with it's Special on Psyker

[manic halo]

im about to quit playing zealot cause every cosmetic makes you bald

and it makes me angry

[gloomy raptor]

Same for Psyker

[worn jewel]

Sorry to disappoint by Psyker is the same

Anything that covers your hair area = bald

[forest meadow]

You know what would be a great idea and sure shut me down on this if its bad. If a Blessing added one of these bad bois to your weapons. A blessing basically added a blessed scripture thing for cosmetic use

[deft seal]

Yep its a flaw to say the liest. but with psycher you get a cool helmet for it

[forest meadow]

So two blessings would be two of these on a bolter

[worn jewel]

Great idea. But they'll save it for the cash shop. THe new Zealot bundle gun skin ha these purity seals.

[forest meadow]

Hmm True

[brisk panther]

does the grand resolver head skin remove your hair?

[worn jewel]

Does it cover your hair area?
If no = Not Bald
If yes = bald

Giant collars =/= cover your hair

Hats and hoods = bald

[deft seal]

Face rebreather = bald
