psyker-class

[shut thorn]

It wouldn't be difficult to code it within a few hrs

[supple skiff]

well I have like 3 families to contend with as far as the holidays go so I probably won't get the chance to suffer as a psyker much lol

[jovial frigate]

100% quell will probably get hotfixed but i think thats all i expect

[clear heath]

Well no, but it's kinda sad that we have to lower our expectations like this

[shut thorn]

It's very likely they add crafting the moment christmas sale happens

[supple skiff]

makes me sad that they got the early access user tag removed from the steam store

[fair axle]

It ain't going to change the reviews tho and sitting at a 62% review score is.. bad for business.

[fair axle]

WHAT?

[jovial frigate]

they already tested the waters, theyre gonna announce it ||and then roll it back as soon as they finish their steam post with all their new 'content'||

[shut thorn]

It's a finished game duh.......

[jovial frigate]

but rly yeah idk if i expect much until jan at this point

[clear heath]

the beta never ends

[shut thorn]

Ngl tho

[supple skiff]

yeah, so users can define the tags to a degree,

[shut thorn]

Psykers won this patch

We had the power to delay it

By a day

[supple skiff]

guess they tagger it early access enough for it to stick for a minute

[shut thorn]

By spamming this chat with funny vids

@jovial frigate what serv is that emote from

I need it

[supple skiff]

wasn't the delay from the prechers and big boy weapons?

[fair axle]

We gotta go ham on this and get that tag back then

[shut thorn]

no lol it was us posting funny staff videos

[jovial frigate]

another dead warhammer game

[supple skiff]

took the time to nerf that but not check that other shit wasn't borked, neat

[shut thorn]

gibe emote

[drowsy fog]

Maybe I'll just re-download vt2 while they finish dt

[shut thorn]

lol vt2 performance has mysteriously gotten shit

[drowsy fog]

"Mysteriously"

[supple skiff]

have like 40 hours in vt2 I might just have to

[drowsy fog]

We already made money off this one, get em on the new game!

[cold oasis]

honestly, chaos waste is just so much fun

[pine iris]

"oops all hounds" mode was a bad idea re: needing 1 more grim

[shut thorn]

I like the hound gamemode

[drowsy fog]

Ignore grims, grims bad

[shut thorn]

It's funny seeing ogryns and vets fuck up

[pine iris]

this next match is now my 3rd attempt for 1 grim. Pub groups are bad tn

[shut thorn]

go cowboy mode

[pine iris]

I love the hound enemy

[drowsy fog]

But nah if I step away for a bit I have plenty of choices, maybe my ff xiv break is over who knows

[summer wind]

😔

[drowsy fog]

Rip resist

[shut thorn]

329

[summer wind]

yeah

[covert cosmos]

is 62% score bad for business

[summer wind]

riveting gameplay

[covert cosmos]

so many ppl bought it already lol

[shut thorn]

on what

steam?

yeah

[covert cosmos]

on steam i guess

[summer wind]

i'm loving refreshing the shop so i can actually have my class perform properly

it's so fun

[shut thorn]

xmas is coming up

[covert cosmos]

im sure they'll be fine

[summer wind]

💀

[shut thorn]

mixed is really bad

for xmas

[fair axle]

And we're in launch month, so yes it is..

[covert cosmos]

and im also sure the game will be a lot better in a year

[summer wind]

the gameplay is fine, the gameplay slaps

the progression though

oh my god it sucks ass

[shut thorn]

mixed causes like 80% or smth insane drop in potential revenue

it is v bad

[summer wind]

i've been trying to get a purge staff for over 100 hours

and i'm yet to get a good one

due to no fault of my own

just pure RNG

i may never get one

i may get one next time i look

who knows

[fair axle]

You

mean

this

[supple skiff]

mixed reviews are deserved

[summer wind]

absolutely

the game is mixed in quality

[covert cosmos]

call of duty still makes bank with mixed reviews tho

[supple skiff]

idk what point steam reviews become red, but they better pray it doesn't come to that

[summer wind]

even that isn't ideal

[supple skiff]

getting by on all the good faith beta reviews

[summer wind]

better, though

[shut thorn]

they're close

[supple skiff]

is it 59?

[fair axle]

It's more than ideal. Quell speed is no longer bugged.

[lime gorge]

If you passive quell with an axe it’s basically perfect right?

[shut thorn]

wasnt it 40

[summer wind]

nah i'd dump damage

[shut thorn]

at the rate its dropping rn

[summer wind]

if we could

[shut thorn]

it might reach negative

[summer wind]

damage doesn't really do much for the flamer, imo

the DOT is what you're after past poxwalkers

[fair axle]

This isn't flamer..

[summer wind]

it is?

[supple skiff]

95 - 99% : Overhwelmingly Positive
94 - 80% : Very Positive
80 - 99% + few reviews: Positive
70 - 79% : Mostly Positive
40 - 69% : Mixed
20? - 39% : Mostly Negative
0 - 39% + rew reviews: Negative
0 - 19% : Very Negative
0 - 19% + many reviews: Overwhelmingly Negative
Notice that "positive" and "negative" in particular are calculate

[summer wind]

purgatus staff?

that is the flame staff

[fair axle]

1/3 of the damage from purgatus is from the direct damage

[supple skiff]

according to this article I found. It won't hit 40

[summer wind]

yeah so i'd dump it in favor of quell and resist

so you can keep up your damage longer

that's it's strength

is sustainability

[supple skiff]

would take a review bomb to do that.

[summer wind]

it's not like it matters anyways

not gonna be able to get one like that

[fair axle]

You don't need quell on a purgatus... it literally clears it on its own with the passive feat 🙂

[shut thorn]

Which is happening

[summer wind]

i've always needed to quell a few times in hordes

once or twice

it's handy when you're swapping to BB to deal with a bulwark

[summer vine]

What's the setup you guys are running for Psyker with Purgatorus?

[ornate hamlet]

what I am running

[shut thorn]

nice

[summer wind]

33% damage and you only deal 2 less damage lol

yeah damage is 100% a dump stat on purge staff

[drowsy fog]

Old screenshot it's been upgraded since

[rancid burrow]

@summer vineso that staff is kinda a "spray" that gets a lot of enemies, but its not as lethal as some other staffs. imo you love them or hate them

[summer wind]

best one i've found so far unfortunately

[drowsy fog]

I'm at work so it's the best you'll get lol

[fair axle]

Those 2 less damage is the raw damage before modifiers are applied.

[lime gorge]

What’s the rate of dmg application?

[summer wind]

run and gun is pretty bad imo

[summer vine]

What's the personal stats setup you guys are running for Psyker with Purgatorus?

[summer wind]

but i can see how people would like it

[summer vine]

The 10,15,20 etc

[rancid burrow]

I like the surge staff in a semi-aggro way i guess

[rancid burrow]

the momentary stun and a charged force sword

[summer wind]

this is what i run with purge

[night marten]

FS+deflector, 121122

[summer vine]

Surge staff is good for stun

[summer wind]

keeps me at 6 charges 24/7 during hordes

and keeps my peril low during that

[rancid burrow]

I prefer the 10% pop chance and 30% toughness on warp charges

The head pop is so important

[summer wind]

10% pop chance becomes completely redundant with this setup, i find

[night marten]

I'm not so sure

[summer wind]

i'm always at max stacks as is

[night marten]

damage also affects secondary "burning intensity" which I think *affects dot strength

[summer wind]

does it?

[summer vine]

Thanks!

[summer wind]

in that case it matters then

[rancid burrow]

Yeah fair I actually had the same thought when I tested the staff

[night marten]

I don't have a shit-tier purge staff to test currently

[summer wind]

it's all i've gotten unfortunately

[rancid burrow]

I've got each staff at top tier

[summer vine]

I got one as a reward it's almost 500

[night marten]

but when I see one I will. think that burning intensity factor is the key, making damage actually matter

[summer vine]

480 something

[summer wind]

from my understanding, you want cloud radius, burn, quell, resist

[rancid burrow]

you're kinda softening giant groups

[summer wind]

in no particular order

[night marten]

for sure all those stats are good, just not sure how significant the damage "burning intensity" modifier impacts total dot damage

[summer wind]

yeah same

[near wyvern]

I think it affects dot tick rate. Burn affects stack application rate.

[wise pecan]

I think the damage stat also determines how frequently it applies its ticks of damage, and by extension how quickly it racks up burn stacks

[night marten]

if it's significant, purgatus doesn't have a real dump stat. they're all important

[summer wind]

i was pretty sure that was from burn

[light belfry]

a 370 baser... but the damage... 😭

[ornate hamlet]

my fast run build

[rancid burrow]

it doesnt have that impact of other staves, it leans into the damage

[light belfry]

what do you guys think is the least important stat on the voidstrike

[fair axle]

We can test

[summer wind]

science time

[fair axle]

Who has a 60% purgatus and 80% burn?

[rancid burrow]

Lemme check

[summer wind]

lemme look what i've got on hand

[rancid burrow]

I actually might

[night marten]

want to find a ~30% damage purge staff

[summer wind]

lowest i can find

[rancid burrow]

oh fantastic now darktide wont launch like the patch lol

[fair axle]

My 79/79 does 197 per tick

[night marten]

I've already uploaded a bunch of gifs and videos into the channel with those stats^, if anyone has a shit-tier staff they could compare numbers pretty easily

[ornate hamlet]

my fav is the random crash at mission launch on GeForce Now

[rancid burrow]

Haven't had that

Many many other random ones though

[night marten]

I haven't crashed in about a week I think

running i9 with 1080

[summer wind]

i haven't had a crash since launch that i can recall

[lime gorge]

Since patch been crashing on kill a few times

[summer wind]

ryzen 5 2600 1080ti

crappy ram

[fair axle]

It takes me.. 2s to clear 100% peril

Probably less actually

[summer wind]

really?

[rancid burrow]

2080, i7-4790k, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd, 144hz. I crash quite a bit

[wise pecan]

I’ve has a few crashes, and surprisingly even a BSOD pretty recently. Haven’t been on since the newest patch though

[summer wind]

was that changed that much?

[fair axle]

Yes, they fixed quelling

[summer wind]

fixed how?

made it take way less time?

[fair axle]

Our talent bugged it and made it take longer

[near wyvern]

BTW. Ascendent Blaze works on all soulblaze kills, not just yours.

And it seems there is only one spilblaze effect, if you have 2 Psykers with 2 purgstus staves the stacks are gonna get high real fast and melt trash in a blink.

[night marten]

damn haven't heard about BSOD from darktide

[summer wind]

previously i would spend more time quelling than doing anything else, back in the pre order beta

[lime gorge]

Which talent?

[summer wind]

peril resist probably

[rancid burrow]

Hey wait have any of you guys had this weird thing with quelling? When you swap to another force weapon to quell near 100% I get this moment of "about to explode"

[vagrant cedar]

try disabling all the DLSS and shit

[fair axle]

Eeh

It's in the patch notes somewhere

[rancid burrow]

I'm not that kind of person troubleshooting wise if you know what I mean lol

I don't crash constantly for the record

[night marten]

oh cool new gothic city level

[long wharf]

I just completed the new level on damnation

[median terrace]

i dont crash i just have hella lag

[long wharf]

pretty fun, very wide open

not many places to hide or hold up

[rancid burrow]

Was that your first time on the map?

[long wharf]

yep

[night marten]

running an uprising, nice to enjoy the scenery

[rancid burrow]

Aw man I was actually saying that I thought the map sucked. It was that intense

[fair axle]

3s to quell if it didn't bug out

[white badger]

That's the map where I really feel it if I am using an axe, instead of deflector FS

[rancid burrow]

After some time I was thinking "tat's fantastic" of course

[fair axle]

don't think that 20% is going to make a lot of difference there on a perfect 380

[long wharf]

yeah, I really should have been using void, but I went in with purge

[summer wind]

btw why don't psyker boots have tread

how do we not fall over all the time

[long wharf]

because psykers don't deserve comfort

[dense hill]

i get a moment of no responce from quelling if im at 100 with my bb hands out

[rancid burrow]

Might be that tbh muscle memory from CSGO comes into play

[white badger]

Yeah, that is new. Evidently as part of their attempt to fix something else. To mitigate, swap to staff, then quell

[violet fossil]

36% charge rate can't be that bad.. can it?

[fair axle]

How much does peril resist actually let you cast more?

[rancid burrow]

You have to be planning its use

[jovial frigate]

i run a similar one, its like .1 sec between 40% and 80%

[fair axle]

'cos you get 3 casts without it, but up to 400 dmg while purging

[summer wind]

forever from what i can tell assuming i'm hitting targets

[drowsy fog]

Damn now roll deflector, you wont

[fair axle]

Can always apply deflector later tho

[dense hill]

weird ...but the best part of bb is that you can really quickly quell to 97 and go again but now its just so janky

[lucid mortar]

I know I'm scared, thankfully I'm out of mats so I have to play lol

[rancid burrow]

Haha I have so many deflectors

[summer wind]

deflector really needs to be a feat

[rancid burrow]

No deflector is good

[summer wind]

it's really good, that's the problem

no other blessing is even close to as useful

[rancid burrow]

The balance is the arrogance it puts in the psyker

[sage flower]

does the force weapon feat work with purgation staff?

or just force sword?

[fair axle]

may try that instead then, 'cos 3 casts is quite low.. Not sure about the 6 stacks tho.. actually.. hmm It would overall make up for it..

[rancid burrow]

It's for the force swords only

[summer wind]

it changes the class so much by having it

[summer wind]

what would you suggest replacing it with?

[rancid burrow]

Changing that will force the class to lean towards guns

[dense hill]

ive still never seen deflector.. ive even started upgrading greens just for the chance

[fair axle]

I was running soulblaze there, 'cos it rips ogryn's apart that enter the stream

[summer wind]

i don't run many soulblaze perks because there's already plenty going around

[rancid burrow]

And it allows psyker to be an even better team supporter from revives

[fair axle]

stacks up so fast on them that it actually burns down bulwarks and crushers

[summer wind]

my ult and my weapon both apply stacks to everything infront of me

[long wharf]

fuck you Hadron, I didn't want no useless run-n-gun

[summer wind]

i'll try it out

squads of ogryns tend to be a problem

[violet fossil]

hold it until you can swap blessings

[long wharf]

I'm going to

[summer wind]

wait do you mean wrack and ruin?

[fair axle]

Mmm

[summer wind]

or kinetic overload

[rancid burrow]

Here's my gear

[summer wind]

one is brain burst one is warp charge

[fair axle]

Oh

Kinetic Overload

[summer wind]

i can't take it sadly

6 stacks is too much better in general

[supple skiff]

that sword is nice

[summer wind]

4 - 6 is really good if you can maintain them

and if you're running kinetic you're assuming you can

i can see the value though

[rancid burrow]

No not at all

[supple skiff]

trying to get a void staff with quell and chain charge blessings, but no such luck yet

[fair axle]

It's primarily for hordes tho

[summer wind]

it doesn't hit hordes

at all

it's bugged

purely elites and specials, and only one at a time

[fair axle]

Yes, I know

That's why it's there..

[long wharf]

what's bugged?

[fair axle]

It takes care of Crushers and Bulwarks

Kinetic Overload

[rancid burrow]

I don't understand why Flayer isn't the automatic best

[fair axle]

Can't hit Crushers in the first place, staff soulblaze don't affect them.. but normal soulblaze does 🙂

[summer wind]

you could either have soulblaze applied to one enemy "nearby" which is pretty close, or 12% peril resist 6% damage at all times

both are solid imo

i just feel like it's overkill, usually i brainburst or force sword crushers

force sword dps against elites is so good that i don't bother using the staff on them unless i'm hitting other targets at the same time

[rancid burrow]

My lightning staff kills them shocking easily

[fair axle]

You can animation cancel the charge attack on FS

🙂

Use it well on Mutants

[summer wind]

i don't bother with any of that

[rancid burrow]

You can kinda see my staff is built for it though

[summer wind]

i just play the game

[fair axle]

But it is nice to kill mutants that try to charge you.. in 2 instant hits

[summer wind]

oh for sure

i just don't like exploiting things if i can help it

especially knowing it might get fixed

[fair axle]

I don't think it's an exploit

It's not like the Q one

[summer wind]

animation canceling isn't an exploit?

[robust meteor]

animation canceling is in nearly every game. the fact that it can be abused to rapid swing is the problem

[fair axle]

You just ult after hitting..

[summer wind]

you are attacking far faster than intended

ohhh

i thought this was a new method

yeah that one's weird

[fair axle]

Ult cancels the animation, 'cos know you're ulting and applies the damage

[rancid burrow]

I think it's intended to make psyker stand out as a very support oriente class

[summer wind]

ulting does weird things to staves

if you ult while using a purge staff the fire comes out of nowhere

[rancid burrow]

You assume Ogryn is best for revives but no it's psyker. ogyrn is best at defending

[summer wind]

but keeps going

[worn mica]

what do you want on purg for a perk

[rancid burrow]

The tide games are very well known for the animations being used

[fair axle]

we animation canceled in Vermintide 2

too

but.. the Q one seems borderline exploity

[summer wind]

yeah, just not something i like the idea of

borderline

[fair axle]

You literally turn everything into a railgun

[robust meteor]

no animation canceling is a call to how games used to be

old ass games

[summer wind]

you mean games that released finished

[robust meteor]

no

thats not what i mean

[summer wind]

i know, i'm just sad

[robust meteor]

me too

[summer wind]

these days "release" means release of early access

[worn mica]

what do you want on purg for perks. Damage to flak or something?

[robust meteor]

yep its the norm

[summer wind]

crit chance has a bug related to it rn i think

[worn mica]

good bug or bad bug?

[robust meteor]

game studios got bought up by investors. really bad industry now

[summer wind]

good

[night marten]

crit chance is good for purgatus

[summer wind]

applies more stacks on crits or something like that

[rancid burrow]

Okay my discord was having a bad time sry if i was talking minutes late

[night marten]

a crit applies two stacks

I don't think it's a bug

[summer wind]

i hope it's not

but i wouldn't be surprised

[rancid burrow]

No animation canceling is in everything

[drowsy fog]

So what other factions do we think will show up

[rancid burrow]

Fighting games especially

[summer wind]

i do not vibe with abusing animations

mordhau flashbacks

[rancid burrow]

That's how you get sweeping kills

You gotta learn to exploit the light/heavy attack chains for a sweep

[humble skiff]

if i charge the surge staff for longer does it chain more enemies? or should i just spam it

[worn mica]

spam

[rancid burrow]

light attack, heavy, block, push, repeat. thats how i use the force sword

[worn mica]

charging only does more damage

[humble skiff]

is it correct that less charge speed is better on it?

[drowsy fog]

Wear eye protection for surge

[rancid burrow]

hahaha

[humble skiff]

since if you charge longer it uses more peril

[rancid burrow]

I legit have epilepsy

And never thought of that

You're right

[long wharf]

charge the surge staff when you're attacking enemies in flak or carapace armor

[naive dawn]

yeh do not use surge if you have epilepsy

real talk

[sleek yacht]

love them floaty looking attacks coming at you at 2 mphs just for them to acceled last frame

[long wharf]

you can kill those reliably

[robust meteor]

try it out in the meat grinder. it does a lot of different numbers really fast

[summer wind]

ikr, it's so awful

[rancid burrow]

It won't cause a seizure I promise

[summer wind]

i got good at it too and i eventually decided "this sucks i'm out" and never went back

[rancid burrow]

They don't use the correct colors at the correct timings. I'm positive

[humble skiff]

im asking because i think if you charge it less it gives less peril right?

[sleek yacht]

yeah its been like almost a year since I consistently played that game, its been through a lot of updates since then, but idk if I could casually pick it up again

[fair axle]

Prepare for trouble.. And make it double!
https://files.catbox.moe/awaclm.mp4

[summer wind]

i woudln't bother

wouldn't

a

[rancid burrow]

It's kinda like a hack for the brain that if you input the correct lights at the correct timings then you short circuit it. since pokemon they quintouple check lol

[formal glade]

i seriously hate to ask, but is psyker yet again bugged? im noticing sometimes when i hit 100% peril, that im unable to quell for like 5 seconds -_-

[gritty perch]

I think this one's good.

[rancid burrow]

I have it too

I think it's not a bug actually

[naive dawn]

That is a currently a really fun bug for all peril generating weapons

[rancid burrow]

I think it's an intentional punishment for going a little too far

[formal glade]

It absolutely is, because this was not a thing before the patch

It absolutely was not

[naive dawn]

The Devs have confirmed a bug, but who konws when it will get fixed.

[rancid burrow]

Oh it is okay

[summer wind]

possibly never, possibly next patch

[echo parrot]

Rate my gear

[rancid burrow]

It happens when you swap weapons and instantly quell right?

[formal glade]

No it happens period

Even without swapping you sometimes just get locked out of quelling

[naive dawn]

Any time you hit 100% peril with any force you cant quell for 3 seconds.

Its brutal

[rancid burrow]

mine isn't so consistent

[wise pecan]

To be fair, a lot of the times they didn’t, and just stayed unfinished forever

[summer wind]

fair

[rancid burrow]

i instinctively swap thats probably why

csgo muscle memory

[formal glade]

I'm noticing it consistenly happens if you go well past 100%, as in to around 108% ish

[night marten]

it happens after going over 100 twice in a short period of time

[formal glade]

If you got from say 80-100%, it tends to not happen.

But 90-100 it does

[rancid burrow]

I kind of like it. It feels like a punishment for skimming too close to the warp

[glossy beacon]

I noticed that too

[rancid burrow]

Like for a brief instant you might have turned into a Chaos Spawn

[humble skiff]

can you still animation cancel the surge staff?

[rancid burrow]

Yes

Nothing has changed

[summer wind]

i do want stages of warp death explosions

[drowsy fog]

Psyker subclass that embraces the warp when?

[humble skiff]

is it part of the meta?

[summer wind]

2 years

take it or leave it

[rancid burrow]

I don't know about the meta but I use it all the time

[humble skiff]

seems like its strong

[night marten]

psyker doesn't need more punishment imo, and "peril riding" was another way of playing the class skillfully by accepting high risk for better output

[rancid burrow]

I'll hit and sprint just to stun something

@night martenyoure right but this is 40k. i assume everything is out to screw me over

[formal glade]

The class is already gimped by peril as is, there's no reason to punish us even further when our classes tools are ass as is

[summer wind]

the other classes don't explode when they shoot their guns

why would we explode more than we already do

the answer is for fun

i like exploding

[supple skiff]

a class with pitfalls and this much resource management should be able to outperform other classes with high level play, full stop

[summer wind]

agreed

[humble skiff]

if i charge the surge staff for longer does it chain to more enemies?

[summer wind]

we're also the squishiest class in the game, aside from peril blocking

[night marten]

I don't think purge staff should have been able to initiate casts at 100% and quell down before the animation finishes, but in general casting anything below 100% shouldn't have a penalty

[formal glade]

No

[supple skiff]

I play a vet with the xii lasgun and its so easy by comparison

needs to be a pay off for more difficult gameplay

[rancid burrow]

I completely disagree

[formal glade]

Peril just exists to make you think you're powerful when you clearly aren't

[true torrent]

Got psyker and zealot to 30, at lvl 9 on my sharpshooter and it is so much smoother

[formal glade]

Even if you could spam your abilities without restraint you'd still be inferior to the other classes

So the whole "cool down" period is pointless out of aesthetics

[rancid burrow]

The vet kinda negates the psyker's weakness in that regard

[robust meteor]

any psykers want to do a 4 surge/4 deflector run hunting grounds mission?

[summer wind]

don't use vet as an example of balance

vet is extremely overtuned

everyone else is a lot closer to eachother

[rancid burrow]

you know what i mean though

the xray

[formal glade]

Vet is overtuned yes, but Psyker is clearly undertuned as well

[summer wind]

i dunno

[formal glade]

Even when compared to Zealot and Ogyrn

[summer wind]

i find psyker better than zealot

[drowsy fog]

You trying to blind people?

[summer wind]

where my zealot can't horde clear my psyker turns it into a joke

[formal glade]

[summer wind]

where my zealot gets stuck behind cover shooting guns, my psyker can pop them

and so on

[robust meteor]

they should have nerfed vet and fixed other classes

[rancid burrow]

Psyker is clearly the most subjective class

[summer wind]

it is yeah

[formal glade]

In what world can a Zealot not hoard clear

[rancid burrow]

Everyone's favorite staves are different

[summer wind]

in this one

[formal glade]

They literally thrive in hoards

[summer wind]

they do, they just take a while

[fast swan]

y'all gamers see the pyker career datamines?

[rancid burrow]

So does psyker though

[summer wind]

psyker can clear a horde solo in under 10 seconds

[rancid burrow]

Give one a trauma staff and BANG

[summer wind]

?

[fast swan]

psychic throwing knives...

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zog3ud/datamined_classes/

[summer wind]

i doubt this is real

[robust meteor]

i want them

[rancid burrow]

Nah I wanna keep the surprise

[summer wind]

i hope not

[robust meteor]

if you're in discord you'll find out sooner than later lol

[rancid burrow]

Also throwing knives seems weird

[summer wind]

yeah

i don't want throwing knives

[fast swan]

i do, would be very baller

[summer wind]

fatshark keeps being like "what if psyker could have a gun"

[rancid burrow]

eh ill suprses memory of discord always have

[summer wind]

dude i picked the magic class

let me have magic

stop giving me guns

[fast swan]

but if i had to make my own psyker ability, it would defninitely involve mind controlling enemies

like renata ult from league

possess many small enemies or a single big one

[spice oar]

give me a staff that just chucks rocks

[rancid burrow]

Those guns are clearly catered toward another subclass

[white badger]

Many zealots don't run flamer.

[summer wind]

yeah

[rancid burrow]

Like Kurillians classes being both close range and far range

[summer wind]

zealot with flamer is just a psyker with an ammo counter

[fast swan]

i dont, my saw handles the hordes, revolver takes care of ranged specials

[summer wind]

psyker can horde clear literally forever

[spice oar]

side note the magic in dark and darker is so simple yet so fun

[summer wind]

zealot will run out of ammo

and they're comparable

[rancid burrow]

This is what I meant with psyker being so subjective, earlier someone said the exact opposite

[summer wind]

how

do they run out of brain juice ammo?

[rancid burrow]

i think it was melee gobrrr

[summer wind]

melee isn't the strength of psyker

[rancid burrow]

no probably vet

[summer wind]

imo, anyway

[rancid burrow]

it was vet for sure yeah

my bad

[summer wind]

vet isn't better at horde clear than a purge staff psyker

but they're not too far

[formal glade]

But hoard clearing isn't the entire game. If you're worried about hoarding, yes Zealot just brings a flamer and disregards hoards completely, and a psyker brings purge and does the same thing

[supple skiff]

melee should be zeolot and orgyns thing, and yet power sword exists

[white badger]

Well, it's loadout-specific. Purgatus/ Void psykers are good at horde clear. Surge, not so much

[rancid burrow]

Thats exactly what im trying to get at

[summer wind]

hordes are very important, though

deleting them from the game is a hurdle dealt with

[formal glade]

Yes they are but they are NOT the whole game

[supple skiff]

I haven't noticed a difference post nerf with it

[summer wind]

next up is elites, specials, and bosses

force sword force sword and force sword

[formal glade]

If the game was nothing but hoards, no one would ever die

[summer wind]

and ur good

[formal glade]

Literally ever

[summer wind]

disagree

on paper yes

but i see people die to hordes all the time

even level 30's

not sure how or why but it happens

[rancid burrow]

The game is nothing with houlnds

that's why we all die

[supple skiff]

tunnel vision

[summer wind]

but basically psyker is highly sustainable, very safe, and can deal with every situation at least well enough to get by

you don't have a situation you are just useless in

[rancid burrow]

yep thats why i think the psyker defense perks arent op

its so easy to get arrogant

[summer wind]

zealot with a flamer can't hurt guns, that's just how it is at long range

psyker can

[rancid burrow]

and a sniper will not play games

[formal glade]

Everything you just described is Zealot

[summer wind]

i've played both to 30

[long wharf]

not with purge staff

[summer wind]

we're gonna have to agree to disagree

[summer wind]

brain burst

[rancid burrow]

its so easy to forget that in the heat of the moment because you feel invincible

[formal glade]

Cool with me

[summer wind]

peril blocking deflector

you can walk up to them safely

you can pick them off with brain burst

you can ult and knock them all over at once and then flame them

[supple skiff]

they have an ability to close the gap so they can

[rancid burrow]

Yeah it's true I can tank just about anything

[white badger]

Well, most of them are horde-related deaths... you've got 20 poxwalkers crowding you, but here comes a bomber/ flamer/ hound. And it can be hard to find and target them in a horde

[rancid burrow]

A daemonhost hit gives me 80 peril on one hit

[summer wind]

zealot gets stopped by bullets

[formal glade]

Brain bursting in damnation is almost always a waste of time

[summer wind]

and can be shot the whole while

[long wharf]

brain burst is slow, and not a feasible answer to a wave of gunners outside of purge range that all have line of sight on you

[summer wind]

it's not great no

but it's an option

[white badger]

Yeah, zealot gap-closer is bollocks. It has no i-frames.

[summer wind]

you can do it and safely

and forever

that's psyker's strength

[delicate field]

looking for a team to do scripture missions

[summer wind]

psyker can do anything, safely

[supple skiff]

your not deleting a gun squad as a psker in a reasonable amount of time without taking fire also

[formal glade]

Saying brain burst is psykers strength is hilarious and pure copium

[summer wind]

you can brain burst through walls, so yes you are

[summer wind]

it's not just bb

bb is good, but not where it should be for sure

[rancid burrow]

brain burst is simultaniously its best strength and weakness

[robust meteor]

Meme run on these dogs! 4 surge staff group -- Throneside damnation. no new players https://discord.gg/vcCDVf7W

[summer wind]

brain burst is highly useful at long range

or against bulwarks

psyker has tools for every situation, you just gotta know when to use what

[prime herald]

Should Psyker be going for Toughness or Health on curios? And any particular secondary perks? Hoping they fix +Stamina bug soon for Deflector

[supple skiff]

yeah, thats not a reasonable amount of time though

[rancid burrow]

Toughness always

[full coral]

is the kinetic overload any good on the purge staff?

[summer wind]

but it'll happen and you are going to survive

[shut thorn]

Man you have no idea how bad I want to join, shame it's late

[formal glade]

Toughness

[white badger]

BB is always amazing to fish for that distant sniper hidden in shadows. Or the bomber running for cover. In most other cases, a vet can find and kill anything before you burst it

[robust meteor]

c'mon, last game

[shut thorn]

2late, it's 1:40 AM

[summer wind]

but yeah i don't think psyker actually needs buffs, unless the other 2 get them too

it's more vet needing nerfs

[shut thorn]

Need to get up in 4hr

[summer wind]

brain burst, maybe

[shut thorn]

good luck tho

[summer wind]

the rest though i think is fine

[white badger]

I don't want to see vets nerfed. Vets are happy with their class. Let them stay that way.

[summer wind]

i do

[formal glade]

I agree with that statement as long as you believe BB needs a buff

[summer wind]

yeah it does

it has uses but it's not where it should be

[shut thorn]

someone go play w/ repulsed, 4x surge is fun af

[formal glade]

BB and warp charges should absolutely get some QoL changes

[summer wind]

warp charges are a bad mechanic

brain burst isn't fun to use and is undertuned

but the class as a whole functions

[robust meteor]

i must smell bad

[white badger]

BB just needs to scale with gear a bit

[summer wind]

yeah

or level

[white badger]

... like egvery other damage source

[summer wind]

or smth

it not oneshotting some specials is obscene given how long it takes

and how much peril it costs

i don't even use it for that anymore

it's just not worth it

[formal glade]

A random idea

[summer wind]

it oneshots gunners though so it's still useful to have

[formal glade]

But it would be interesting if warp charges were your brain bursts

[white badger]

It's for snipers, bombers, maybe trappers and sometimes pox hounds 🙂

[formal glade]

And they were instant cast and charged with time/killing

[summer wind]

that would be cool

[formal glade]

So you could still use it like you do now

Killing high priority

But without a vet just doing it for you

[robust meteor]

with non of u joining my meme run, it just makes me dislike my fellow psykers that much more. i've never accidentally rp'd so accurately

[formal glade]

Also tune the damage up a bit to better hit hp thresh holds

Its obnoxious that some enemies live with like 5% hp

[summer wind]

yeah

hate that

i do love how the force sword stuns targets, though

makes ragers a breeze

[shut thorn]

Yeah idfk what's going on

[formal glade]

I just wish force had better mobility, its the only thing I dislike about it

I refuse to take off my dueling sword because of it

[summer wind]

the mobility is sad

but the other bonuses are too good

deflector, elite melting

the push

[formal glade]

It absolutely covers one of psykers biggest weaknesses, which is getting overwhelmed by elites

[summer wind]

i think it's in a good spot

[formal glade]

Force sword can easily change that scenario around

[summer wind]

for sure

[formal glade]

But in the context of a vet dealing with them, its nice to just dodge with a dueling sword and melt/stun lock everything else instead

Melt and stun referring to purge and surge staff

Please fix trauma staff thanks

[summer wind]

trauma staff has such good sound design

every time i use it, my ears hurt

[formal glade]

And visually looks awesome

[summer wind]

it's actually great

[formal glade]

But its gameplay is ass

[summer wind]

what if we had a staff that can only hurt a very small number of enemies

[formal glade]

I hate that it has that sweet spot mechanic

[summer wind]

and it only does about as much damage as 2 bolter shots

[formal glade]

The entire circle should just do full damage

Literally defeats the purpose of even charging it

[summer wind]

yeah

don't get it

[formal glade]

Would be dope if it worked like VT2 and left a kind of soulfire aoe as well to lock off chokes

[lucid mortar]

lol just got the untouchable penance on malice with 3 psykers, broke the game

[humble skiff]

how many resources do you need to spend on refine before you get infinite rerolls?

[fair axle]

Don't you just..

Love to join a game that fails

the minute you're done loading

[lucid mortar]

I haven't added it up but probably under 150

for diamantine

[humble skiff]

im asking for the added up values for both

is it on all the perk slots? or just 1 of them?

[prime flax]

They add up to nothing

[fair axle]

Around 200 before you are in free

for plasteel

depends on your quality for diamanthe

[fading shoal]

https://i.imgur.com/c6kqD8k.jpg

Should I?

Actually no, max modifiers is a trap

[meager plinth]

its prretty good

[formal glade]

Its pretty good

[rotund cloak]

I? Would

[supple skiff]

tainted by milkman,

[random wolf]

Crit perk with crit blessing

High stats

Yeah go for it

[night marten]

should buy 1000%

[fading shoal]

alright

[night marten]

BiS blessing, with high base stats, especially burn

AND a crit chance perk

[fading shoal]

Also Melk giving me 1 staff and the rest guns for Psyker again

[night marten]

that's actually a god staff

[fading shoal]

[fresh reef]

is MK2 combat axe worth using?

just got a 361 gray in the shop

[formal glade]

If you like it, go for it

[fresh reef]

I've literally never used one lol

[formal glade]

None of the melees are bad honestly, at least not that I can think of lol

For psyker

[fresh reef]

I mean like, it is comparable to the trash clear of mk5?

[formal glade]

No, the assassin axe is more about single target damage

[night marten]

I don't think anything is better than mk5 for trash clear

due to block attack spam combined with peril blocking

[fresh reef]

is a combat mk2

not tac axe

[formal glade]

Hmm I dont remember the moveset of that one off the top my head

[fresh reef]

bought since I realized I have 80k dockets and its a gray lol

honestly it's not too bad

I mean, outside of the fact that the push attack is blunt

[formal glade]

Yee I tend to buy all grays above 370 just because they're cheap

[fresh reef]

it'll still stagger, but takes multiple hits to kill trash

though it is really funny

[formal glade]

Never know, might end up really liking it and will have a gray waiting to try at a roll

[fresh reef]

cuz you hit them with the side of the axe lol

[supple skiff]

without a max inventory, you're just as well, might be able to scrap stuff for mats later

[fresh reef]

damage is abysmal, but it's comical so it has that going at least

[supple skiff]

oh, oh no

does it have a bad dmg role or is that type of axe just bad lol

[fresh reef]

"does it just have a bad roll"

[torn bison]

is psyker bug fixed?

[supple skiff]

OOF

[fresh reef]

should be noted that even though the push attack is bad, it can at least stagger with the best of em

not the mention the special attack

[velvet trail]

Seems more like antax is a bit of an outlier. I know the achlys push attack is pretty similar. Wide arc, pitiful damage

[fresh reef]

will have to test in an actual game, but I can see this being useful

[formal glade]

Lmao im refining a curio atm and like

Why is it after its free we have to still roll? Just give us the ability to pick what we want

We aint gonna stop till we get it regardless

[fresh reef]

true

[supple skiff]

that special does seem uselful, does the antax special stagger crushers, I can't remember

[prime herald]

Consecrate Curio -> Immediately get +6% Experience

stole your luck from you, mb

[formal glade]

I've rerolled this curio at least 200 times waiting for ability regen to pop up

[small hornet]

I need help

I know this sword is good

But idk

Is it worth?

[prime herald]

I was consecrating a curio with Toughness and Ability Regen lol

Now it also gives me useless experience, going to reroll it after I get enough diamantine to get it to transcendant first

[fresh reef]

I'll trade you some diamantine for plasteel

[prime herald]

Is Toughness regen speed basically worthless?

[fresh reef]

yup

personally I don't like +toughness either though

find wounds and max hp to be way more valuable

[prime herald]

Really? Seems like there's a big divide between toughness and max HP camps as to which to go for

[formal glade]

I feel like it's pretty obvious toughness would be what you'd want on psyker since your hp stat is ass and your toughness feats are % based and very easy to proc

[night marten]

I'm not sure, I thought that for a little while but toughness just evaporates too damn fast

[stark nebula]

Peril -> Toughness... chefs kiss

[formal glade]

I could imagine on something like Zealot its a bit more fluid since they can actually recover their hp

[night marten]

all those nice bonuses to toughness don't matter after two gunfire volleys

[meager plinth]

At the same time your toughness is constantly going to break, so the option would be to have a bigger margin after it breaks/ against corruptions / when pinned down

[pine iris]

run a lot of +1 wounds and get health buffs (+20%*2 is doable)

[dense hill]

yeah but only for brain burst quell for me

[formal glade]

Was happening on the surge staff for me as well sadly

[meager plinth]

The most important thing about toughness is getting it back to 100% asap to get that melee protection

[stark nebula]

That weapon auto-quell fills your toughness while pinned. Feels good.

[dense hill]

its a very frustrating feeling

[formal glade]

They finally let us use surge staff at 90% without going boom

And instantly took it away witha bug

[sacred lodge]

until they fix the effects for the surge staff to make it not so... erm... "eye-catching" as it were, what's a good substitute? wanna keep playing psyker, but I also don't want to run the risk of causing serious health issues for comrades or even people who watch me

[meager plinth]

For a CC staff, try purgatus

[sacred lodge]

...said concern coming up right after I get a god-roll for a surge staff, ofc

[meager plinth]

The m1 has a very high stagger

[formal glade]

Purgatus is fantastic as well

[glacial abyss]

Surge staff

[meager plinth]

It won’t interrupt muties, bulwarks and crushers but it excels at everything else

Shorter range tho

[next pine]

Is this worth picking up with the damage roll being only 59%?

[formal glade]

I'd highly recommend as well going into the meat grinder and looking at how long and how many times you have to shoot with the purg before things are rapidly melting to get an idea of just how much damage it does

Cause my god it melts much faster than you'd think

And the range is much larger than it looks

[meager plinth]

It shines when there is a lot of things

[sacred lodge]

aah well, at least the purgatus in the shop had no interrupts on channeling, so I'm not beholden to RNG on that department

[formal glade]

I know a lot of people say that perk is a must for it, but I honestly dont ever get hit out of the channeled attack

Thinks get way too stun locked to even get the chance to

[sacred lodge]

it's a safety net, admittedly, but a nice one

[rigid abyss]

I believe sustained fire only works on left mouse click, not the channel?

[sacred lodge]

especially for easing into the next tier of difficulty up

....at least until damnation.
screw damnation

[formal glade]

Hey damnation is fun! Until it isnt.

[simple junco]

Same. Especially if you hot hands before channeling, nothing really touches you

[next pine]

@rigid abyss no idea man. That's sorta why I'm asking. I'm generally a purg enjoyer and I know with it we don't really care about the main dmg of the attack. So I wasn't sure if that was the same here and if sustained fire made up for it at all.

[formal glade]

Mhm, I feel like terrifying barrage just does the same exact thing, but saves you the toughness of getting hit

[next pine]

If i had currency to spare id buy it for science.

[simple junco]

Since Terrifying Barrage is already all too common, it does its job well for what it is

[onyx sentinel]

Saw a notification from #📢news-bulletin and my dumbass thought it’s a hotfix for peril bug on a weekend

[glass badge]

SPeaking of peril

[next pine]

What are people's thoughts on warp battery vs kinetic overload when running the purg staff and ascendant blaze? After play testing on heresy and damnation I can't really come up with a definitive answer for if one is better than the other.

[fair axle]

Who would want terrifying barrage.. our staffs either stagger, stun or already suppress in a larger area.. totally pointless blessing

[orchid nacelle]

i love how enemies recoil in terror whenever you cast the trauma staff explosion

[glass badge]

one of my friends can click & hold the headpop, and can only do 2 before ecploding themselves, with or without right click, while i can get off 3.

Whats causing this distinction, i've tried both with & without warp resistence, and done tests where RNG doesnt lower mine but it still does 3

[sacred lodge]

people who prefer using mouse one over the charged ability?

[simple junco]

For QOL, Warp Battery. Kinetic overload feels like it provides too little for the slot it takes.

At least if you're running peril resist

[next pine]

@simple junco That's sorta what felt as well. Isn't peril resist just best in slot there?

[orchid nacelle]

is your friend using right click to brain burst

[sacred lodge]

ideally I'd be able to find a build where I can just rush into a mob of enemies and get stuck in

...but at that point, I might as well check out #zealot-class

[simple junco]

Depends on your build, honestly

[glass badge]

Lock-on, not precharge

[orchid nacelle]

weird

[formal glade]

The problem with Kinetic Overflow with Ascendant Blaze is that you tend to spend your warp charges more than you sit at max anyways I feel

It's not very consistent to shoot back to max, so you're either spending them when you cap, or trying to actually cap xD

[simple junco]

Also a great point

[orchid nacelle]

if warp charge generation were more consistent kinetic overload would be god tier

[simple junco]

(plus 6 stacks is a great starting point for another full burst of a Purg staff)

[formal glade]

Mhm!

[next pine]

Force sword and purg. Wrack and Ruin is just garbage and the extra damage doesn't fell like it helps meet and breakpoints. If it let me kill ragers in one charged force sword attack I'd run it but last I checked it didn't. It also doesn't help the soulfire ticks right?

[low tulip]

is this weapon worth upgrading? it's only 324 base stat, but the damage, burn and quell speed seems amazing

[simple junco]

Does Wrack and Ruin work with the FS alt?

[orchid nacelle]

if you proc kinetic flayer with it

[simple junco]

I feel like melee psyker would be viable if the alt counted as a BB

[orchid nacelle]

lol

[simple junco]

rip

[rich cosmos]

Psychic communion is a great way to get those extra charges, as long as the group stays together

[simple junco]

Until then, I'm running combat knife

[next pine]

@formal glade Ye I felt the same. I generally use the ult as a part of the combat flow to keep peril under control so it felt not great holding on to the ult to keep KE uptime. I donno.

[rich cosmos]

only 4% but it happens quite often still

[orchid nacelle]

i prefer the ult resets

[simple junco]

That 4% is noticeable when it's gone

[sacred lodge]

...I've not played vermintide, but was there anything for Sienna in those games that's similar to what I was looking for?

[rich cosmos]

it feels like the 15% ult reset has a cooldown

[orchid nacelle]

i can live without it

i want my vet to spam his ult

[glass badge]

What where you looking for? i've lost the convo

[next pine]

If Flayer only procced on Elite or Specialist enemies I'd be so down but it's always just being eaten by pox walkers.

[glass badge]

melee wizards?

[simple junco]

If I'm running Void, sure I can definitely live without the 4%

[sacred lodge]

melee wizard, battlemage, something of that caliber

[simple junco]

But having max stacks is pretty much vital to a purg build

[orchid nacelle]

kinetic flayer is funny

[glass badge]

All 3 sienna careers had some good melee potential.

[lusty herald]

Hey sorry for the random question but did fatshark change anything? My 29 psyker feels so weak now

[glass badge]

To keep it short:
BW had fire sword and high DoT's
Pyro had crits on crits and fast attack speed
Unchained was a tanky MF, and gained increased damage with EVERYTHING at high overheeat

there's more Nuance then that but ye

[bleak sonnet]

unchained was so fuj

fun

[next pine]

Ye especially on diff 4 and 5 you get many communion procs. Really lets you just almost never use bb unless its a sniper or bomber

[glass badge]

I was a pyro main, i love that flaming skull.

[lusty herald]

Is the void strike staff the only way to go now?

[formal glade]

What makes you ask that?

[glass badge]

Laughter's contagious, isn't it?

[next pine]

@lusty herald Be a purg gamer

[simple junco]

Depends on how you play. If you like stunning, go Surge. If you like range, go Void. Close range? Purgatus. Support at high levels? Trauma

[lusty herald]

I just ran through a heresy with the flame thrower staff and wasn't getting much done

[simple junco]

(also please do not stagger hordes with surge)

[glass badge]

Purg or void.

Lightning feels unusable with the new VFX & Trauma's overshadowed by void.

[next pine]

IMO there's no staff or build that has the same dmg output of a purg build psyker.

[lusty herald]

I'll change it up a bit

[formal glade]

It sucks that the surge VFX is so ass currently too because they seriously gave it some insane QoL's

[rich cosmos]

lightning effects are disorienting now

but yeah, this is what I was using for a while. I don't know, I'm on the fence about being a fly zapper

[next pine]

You can get so much done.

[formal glade]

Being able to use your channel at 95% is insane

[glass badge]

i don't have epelepsy, but if there's anything in this world that could give it to me, its that staff.

[simple junco]

Purg does help remove one of the wipe conditions if everyone is doing their job

If you have a good vet taking care of ranged trash, you're pretty much all set

[sacred lodge]

why I wanted to find an alternative, at least for the meantime, because I don't want to risk someone in my team dropping dead because I wanted to use the super zap stick

[next pine]

You can't ever get overwhelmed if you're playing right with purg build.

[simple junco]

Yuuup

[lusty herald]

Malice seems harder too

[orchid nacelle]

play right means "spin around every few seconds while holding right click"

become the psychic sprinkler you were always meant to be

[simple junco]

Compared to right clicking hallways, the game seems unintuitive when simplified lol

[formal glade]

You could unironically set your dpi to max with purg staff and just spin to win

[next pine]

Well ye but also understanding what your job is and how much you can be ccing/dpsing

[fresh reef]

just noticed they finally fixed Heresy+ always having endless hordes

pog

[formal glade]

Its very fun to do.

[supple skiff]

void is fun if you can make it to the patrolling gun squad before your vet does

[simple junco]

YES. Had a surge staff try to do the job of a purg staff and it ruined everything

Scattered groups, didn't cover flanks, didn't stun elites, etc

[drowsy fog]

Aw no more endless horde? But that was fun

[orchid nacelle]

should i reroll anything on this axe

[next pine]

It's a whole different mindset and playstyle ye.

[bleak sonnet]

infested

weakspot hit should 1 tap them alrdy

bonus dmg wasted

[drowsy fog]

Damn that's a beast

[orchid nacelle]

good call

[bleak sonnet]

check in meat grinder first tho

[next pine]

Like if there's a crusher pushing you're not dpsing the crusher you're killing everything around it and isolating the threat so it can be dealt with safely.

[orchid nacelle]

on damnation it does oneshot infested boys

currently

[drowsy fog]

I mean I'm also dpsing the crusher at the same time lol

[leaden pier]

pretty swag

[runic gate]

Not into flamers myself but that’s a n1

[simple junco]

That's a pretty good one

[formal glade]

I wish I had warp nexus on mine

[next pine]

Ye same

[kindred sphinx]

Crit is almost useless on purg

[simple junco]

Doesn't it add extra stacks of soulflame?

[leaden pier]

crit rate boosts damage a good amount

i recall someone explaining how

[next pine]

@simple junco That's what I thought as well

Theres no way crit is useless on it

When it crits it literally starts to destroy everything

[kindred sphinx]

Maybe ,I've seen the opposite, most of the dmg is in burn and crit doesn't matter much

[formal glade]

I'll run some tests later to check, I haven't tested its numbers in the grinder since I got it a while ago

But i recall seeing yellow a lot and my jaw dropping

[simple junco]

Yeah, I'm like 90% sure it adds an extra stack

Could be wrong, but something definitely happens

[glacial abyss]

Crit goes hard asf most people don’t understand

crit turns surge into a free kill machine

[leaden pier]

if im running crit purge, should i got with the inner tranquility feat or psykinetic's wrath?

[glacial abyss]

I have all crit stuff on my surge it’s easy to kill anything

[simple junco]

Inner Tranquility

You want your flame up as often as possible when you need it

Also PW only affects your staff's base damage, and doesn't factor into your burn's tick rate

[leaden pier]

also does psykinetic's wrath affect the fs' normal attacks or just it's special?

cant quite tell, since most of my sword have that blessing that boosts power on peril

[simple junco]

It affects both, but doesn't apply to your burn

[formal glade]

Left is a crit left click, the right is a non crit

So crits do add a stack.

[simple junco]

The crit staff is reeallll

[fast swan]

How would y’all feel about psyker career that lets you possess groups of enemies to fight each other temporarily? How useful would AI allies be?

[formal glade]

Sheeeeeesh the crits are yummy

[simple junco]

Possessing crushers would be meta, and the game would just stop spawning crushers

[rich cosmos]

lemmi possess a ogrin

send in the gimp

[formal glade]

Now I want warp nexus even more, depresso.

[ashen ore]

what is everyones favorite dueling sword

[simple junco]

Combat knife

[rich cosmos]

chainsword

[formal glade]

I honestly really like the both of them

But if your aim is good

[rich cosmos]

let my noodle arms cut people in half

[fast swan]

I imagine larger elites would be possessed for a shorter period of time, bosses only would be briefly stunned. Possessing flamers and gunners would be strong af

[formal glade]

The safety of the thrusting one feels really nice

[ashen ore]

So neither of those are dueling swords

one was atleast a sword though

[simple junco]

Possess your veteran to mow down the enemy shooters

[formal glade]

Well you dont need aim for the vertical cleave one

The hitbox is very generous

[pallid smelt]

what warp nexus do?

[simple junco]

Crit, crit, and critical hits

[formal glade]

Increases your crit chance with peril

More peril = more crit chance

[rich cosmos]

mmmmhhhhh

[fast swan]

Actually never mind, give me a psyker career where the ability is a grail knight sword made of warp sauce

[pallid smelt]

ok

[fast swan]

Would be fun, passives would need to increase psyker durability tho

[simple junco]

Force chainsword

[pallid smelt]

how we feel about this

[idle shuttle]

so like, I am getting locked at 100% peril

cant quell

[rich cosmos]

force chainsword is the way, it already auto quels your peril

[fast swan]

Force fist please

[ashen ore]

its a known glitch

[idle shuttle]

its a new psych feature

[formal glade]

If you don't mind the charge rate, then its pretty good

[fast swan]

Force flail would be awesome

[idle shuttle]

also if anyone watches avatar 2... theres a psyker in there

[formal glade]

I personally can't use that staff below 70% charge rate

[pallid smelt]

warp flurry fixes charge rate for me

[simple junco]

Until FS gives you a stack of Warp Charge, chainsword really is the way

[formal glade]

Ye but your initial hit will be very gross

[idle shuttle]

looks like ill play orgryn until fatSHART fixes this quell bug

[simple junco]

Your waveclear will be delivered in 3-4 business days

[pallid smelt]

you can thow and non full charge to skip the wait at the cost of peril

[simple junco]

Cope like the rest of us

[formal glade]

Like I said

Its a preference thing lol.

If you like it, then its great.

I personally enjoy max charging my first hit and just instant killing most of the hoard before I need to use the second hit, relying on the second hit usually means rallying up half the group and making lining up the headshot less generous than when they're not aggro'd yet.

[simple junco]

The only way a half charge would be generally useful is if you're trying to make space with a Purg staff

[orchid nacelle]

should i keep rolling

[formal glade]

Half charge is surprisingly good on surge staff as well

Especially on Malice. If you only play on malice, half charge surge will kill most rooms instantly

So its very peril efficient

(Very useful for when you're speed running script missions on malice and below)

[orchid nacelle]

it would be nice if kinetic overload would prioritise ALL SPECIALS instead of just elites

yeah i really wanted to light the poxwalker on fire and not the giant crusher

[next pine]

Probably becomes best in slot imo

Just free random bb's that hit targets you want dead asap

[simple junco]

I wish it stored the extra 4 charges and you just insta apply them to an elite/special

[next pine]

oh that'd be sick

[fresh reef]

Pox Hounds everywhere are gonna flip when I run trauma staff

[formal glade]

Holy that dog got shit on

[next pine]

LMAO

nice

[formal glade]

I love how instead of ignoring it too you stood there like "nice one dumbass"

[pure peak]
