rocketjumped him to his death lol
it does, but you have to aim a fair bit more
That made me want to run a mission with the trauma staff, and im prob gonna regret it leggo
trauma is basically just like the average Halo Infinite match
explosions everywhere, be careful not to kill yourself

always elevator slide spin 
I really want to make a zealot with bolter tho
But none of the other classes got gud cc

Just hope you have a purg psyker and you're good to go

@pure peak Take it back
Zealot flamer is good CC. Ogryn can hard lock a horde with chained heavy attacks.
N0
Surge Forever, lesser staffs should sit down
Void demolishes entire hordes solo
@pure peak TAKE IT BACK YOU FOOL
Ogryn then sad.
You won't have eyes to see that staff given enough time 
I just played with someone that said this exact sentence and threw the match lol
maybe he had a seizure
Ogryn is obsolete in the face of high dps aoe void
Anyone use the Devil's Claw swords? Which Mk is your favorite?

Hey honestly the fact that there's even an argument at least means that they're probably all pretty balanced.
purg4lyfe
Very true
Imagine using domething other than force sword
They all serve a purpose
🤔 well I don't type in game chat unless I'm hard tilted so probably not me lmao
Hey now. Trying to keep it fresh and see what playstyles I enjoy
I say "gg", "demon care", and "don't shoot burster near team mates"
sorry,but i like britain simulator with the shanky knife
@pure peak I agree with you on that FC is awesome.
I have so many FS's and it's fun, but I like trying different things
I say GG and "you guys don't know how to deal with bursters do you" after the third damn burster that gets blown up near me
"Please take care of the reapers down long"
sometimes I hunt them down so team mates dont have a chance to shoot 
- On my fifth BB
Gotta love the "I'm going to shove it" followed by "teammate blowing it up on top of me".
CSGO player spotted?
or is that just my csgo brain
idek
too bad I can't aim anymore
"Fake B, rush A, blind Reapers with surge"
also blinds self and team in process
Enemy SPOtted
Just like flashbangs
which is better for gunpsyker
made it 1% better
How do you feel about that cloud radius?
Or am I the only one that thinks it's REALLY stupid to have range and cone of a weapon to be an RNG stat?
it's fine
If a reduced cone equaled to more stacks applied in a smaller radius, it could lead to more interesting staff paths. But nah.
compared to my other purge staff with a 76% cloud radius it feels mostly the same
effective range basically went down by 1 point
same with whatever else cloud radius affects
anyone know the amount of mats you gotta spend for rerolls until it's free?
total i mean
I think the 1 point is 1m or something. It's worth testing in the meat grinder
Here you go kin
many thanks
Effectively free from 15th onwards since everyone has a billion plasteel
I never have enough plasteel
What are you doing kin eating it? diamante is always the limiting factor for me
hello fellow spark 'eads is the Surge staff still fucked due to VFX?
play t5, youll be swimming in it
Getting weapons from white/green to blue.
Just upgrades bro
Takes almost no Diamantine but eats Plasteel
i like running t3-t4 for diamantine
most ive got was 200 something i forget what difficulty tho
melee psyker with a revolver is fun
why is the psyker stamina regen delay so quick
wtf is that
did they turn psyker into epilepsy simulator after the last patch?
the effects are so insanely annoying holy shit
can someone nice also screenshot the cosmetic update pls 🥺 im not on my pc rn
yea you cant really use the lightning staff atm
actually insane
oh neat
its weird how the knife has one of the most anti carapace push attacks in the game
and you can just spam the hell out of it on psyker
Any tips for doing Warp Battery penance?
play Heresy or malice high intensity and spam BB
play with friends and then solo BB everything for 5 minutes, get max and then only use bb to keep it up
use psychic communion and kinetic flayer
and have all the warp charge feats
make sure your friends know you are doing it
you'll have 4/4 the entire game without much effort
go in a hi-intensity mission too
Use barrage so you dont discharge stacks
most maps are fine, just remember that elevators are your enemy
does anyone not use barrage 
ascending blaze builds
Ab here
do those exist
That's the cost-table for refining perks at Hadron's
Thoughts? I like the purg staves but they're not my primary at all. Kinda just looking for a novelty buy
Someone said find low damage high burn for soulfire builds, so something like this?
But has crit chance perk
the blessing is what im looking for really
the important one
so warp nexus is what i want
try an ascending blaze build with surge, it will let kill both armored and unarmored enemies
If its not your main dont bother then
I've got everything else set with psyker
every patch I lose more and more motivation to play, as psyker is not buffed.
I am running low on copium, siblings
I truly don't think psyker's bad
they buffed purge staff
this patch made me bite the bullet and make a zealot
I think it's so flexible that you can percieve it as bad or good
and hopefully the bb thing is fixed soon
Literally I was doing that today after I got my weeklies
Yea, wanted to see how "burn intensity" affected total damage between purge staffd with high and low damage values
With a proper coordinated team a psyker can be the fulcrum
if you can get 80% on damage as well its better, but if you can just get 80 burn and 80 cloud radius it will be usable
Does damage count as soulblaze? Someone was saying the flamethrower itself doesn't count, only people dying of the DoT it applies does for getting stacks
only dying to the dot counts for soulblaze
I agree, but I dont think it has nearly as much in the manner as the other classes in being good, Yknow? The things that are fun to do with psyker are left behind because everyone else can do it faster, and the things that psyker is really good at, are not even the things intended for it to be doing, when it comes to class layout
at least, it feels that way
Kath if you can do video, capture one full secondary of hitting a bulwark in the back
@abstract frigatei think the charges come from the perks that give charges from other ways. you soften waves up and the 4$ chance procs. Or the 10% head pop
can someone screenshot for me the new psyker cosmetic
granted, we're great at picking off snipers and bombers, but everyone else can do it just as quick if someone pings them
psyker is just not what we were promised, we were promised a high damage high risk class, or huge power with a price
what we got was mid
worst shop refresh I've had in a while
Does damage effect how much damage the DoT does, or just burn stat does that?
burn is the dot
Just don't wanna make the wrong kind of staff, since the soulfire stuff needs soulfire to work. 
gloriana looks good the other one is dissapointing
Burn affects max dots and their application rate, not damage
soulblaze stacks have static damage values
yeah I kinda had the same thought. Though I like the chestpiece on the bundle, its.... In the bundle
go to the staff, inspect it and then mouse over the stats
"but everyone else can do it just as quick"
I think you're selling a skilled psyker short a tad but thats fine. That's just one thing though, psyker can be a tank for reviving, a heavy enemy one shotter with the force sword, a split second stunner with the lightning staff. All at once
I absolutely get you though
i still get a ton of use out of bb in damnation
I think you can boost individual stack dot damage with m2 crits, but don't quote me on that
hello guys.... I know I'm asking again since nobody answered me earlier... but is this staff worth upgrading?
No
yes, but that is not a High damage elite killer
Nah the cloud's too small
28% radius oof
Are the generally good perks for Force Sword the +damage to elites and carapace/unyielding?
yeah, but the rest of the stat seems so good...
A heavy attack from my force sword to the head of most heavies will kill
@empty granitemine runs the 20 carapace
Doesnt matter if youre range is too shitty to reach things
Basically I was going for this cause it sounded fun, so was trying to figure out exactly what was soulblaze on the staff before actually buying a bunch.
Hence all the questions since someone yesterday said if you kill enemies with the flamethrower itself it's not soulblaze kills, only the dot caused by the actual attack was soulblaze.
Stupid pho e
but thats the hard lock. the swappable perk is 20% block efficiency bc force sword
elite and carapace plus deflector on forcesword
Yep like I said its that which causes them
I wasn't worried about blessings, but building a perk for Deflector seems a decent choice
That and the perk Psychic Communion
Dude deflector is SO GOOD
I can revive someone in the middle of a hoard
It can be a bit of a crutch, but yeah it's good
oh, cloud radius actually affects range? I just thought it meant how wide the flame goes
It makes psyker viable as a tank
Push v
Thus giving it another niche to fill
It's both the max range AND the cone from the staff
Yes this is why psyker is the solo chatty machine
And then the res Psykinetics Wrath for leaning into that
Psyker literally the goat
ty for explaining
I mean, not really. Psyker isn't built to BE a tank
you can stop specials and destroy them easy
Matt the only one speaking facts!
Force sword with deflector
how is the wrack and ruin feat?

Good bait.
psyker = baller
I'm good at tanking the floor if that helps
So close to being good
the fact that psyker is a cc bot/tank is the reason a lot of us are unhappy with where psyker is
play veteran

go fuck yourself
Every other class can b.* They aren't best like that though
again, I agree, but im gonna advocate a little further on my side. I still love playing psyker, and dont intend to stop.
psyker isnt meant to be a revive bot, or a tank. that's more ogryn role
force sword is quite good, but in a general sense, I think the power sword just has more capability overall, without holding you in place for 2 seconds at melee range
and surge staff is strong, but I just dont thing CC bot was the intention of what psyker was supposed to be. In the end, relying on surge staff, you still need others to help with the killing itself on the high difficulties.
and no ammo is a cool thing i guess, but if I have to worry about dying if I dont manage my respective resource, and the ammo requiring items do so much more than I can, I think i'd rather have the ammo for increased effect I know this one is a little blasphemous, but I'm a bit jaded is all
Psyker carries every game
I like having the best cc in the game, thank you very much

Psyker = carry
sure CC is great but we are supposed to be a squishy damage dealer, not a squishy ccbot
psyker is what it is now: class for the best players and the worst players
There's a lot to unpack here, but suffice to say that the Psyker is good at most things, but isn't the best at any specific thing. Jack of all trades, master of none.
no problem with that, I think its awesome you can as psyker, its just not what I was advertised, yknow?
understandable
who cares what’s advertised psyker is whatever it is right now
THANK YOU
that’s what makes the psyker psyker
who gives a fuck about “oh it’s supposed to be this” play veteran
Psyker is the swiss army knife of the team. You cant do anyone elses job as well as them, but you can pretty much switch between them all at any point to fill in the hole. You're very much the "what needs to be done right now" class
I care because its why I chose psyker to start. And why I fell in love with it on early difficulty. All they'd have to do is scale BB properly
There are obviously things that will be tuned or reworked in the coming months, but our general kit won't change much, so deal with it as-is or play another class.
Preface, absolutely reasonable but it also plays into my point
"psyker isnt meant to be a revive bot, or a tank. that's more ogryn role" "the power sword just has more capability overall" "surge staff is strong, but I just dont thing CC bot was the intention of what psyker was supposed to be" imo this last one is wrong. There is a perk that literally replaces stamina loss with peril for blocking
literally!!!!!
bb is still good imo
everyone keeps asking for some huge ass change just play psyker or go do crack!!!!
doesnt need much of a change
A rando psyker isnt ideal 100% of the time, absolutely. Having a psyker pre-planned in your squad is a great thing
Psyker holds line. Cc. Boss killer. Elite killer.
the biggest problem with this is Brainburst got nerfed between closed and open beta because it was "too powerful" but it was before bolter and plasma were available
asking for so many changes to make it “your class” or “what’s intended”

I think it needs more power to handle more than killing the lowest health elites over 3 seconds
psyker is what it is now
I think people just haven't found out the way to make it their class yet
yes most people should be playing veteran
There's surely perks and blessings to come (and other psyker classes)
BB will be touched on eventually because everyone is crying about it, but it's not going to one shot Crushers ever, probably.
just give the right click some functionality and BB will be golden
Give a balance pass over the feats (looking at you, Wrack and Ruin) and psyker as a class will be golden
I actually really want a gun focused ability
yes everyone’s a little baby over brain burst
And no one was playing above malice. Everyone saw 1 shots in easy mode
lol
The right click is still good for intercepting stuff thats coming in out of LOS
Secondary is poping
no?
i think bb should 1 shot at least poxbursters or hounds on any difficulty
@leaden pieragreed
why do u need your 12% damage that much
Also, people are forgetting that BB is the GRENADE button for us. It's not MEANT to be a primary use tool.
this is true, esp if you need to maintain charges for whatever reason
I don't use brain burst
poxbursters have 1800 hp
Once again, still love psyker and only play it, I just think it could use a little love in the numbers department. Jack of all trades is only good when everyone on the team is one, or you have specialists to fill the roles lacking, yknow? Psyker struggles in self sufficiency (comparatively), is my complaint
Takes too long
mebe at least 2 shot hounds if not 1 shot
err sorry
I want a gun-focused subclass, but not for the psykinetic to become one.
hounds have 1800 hp
still wish it wouldn't go all the way up to 100% peril though lol
i dont think bb is ever one shotting them
and imo, it shouldn't because psyker absolutely shits on hounds
I just want more weapons
where tf is my force greatsword
having like 6 unique weapons rlly aint much
alright to be fair, if I get force greatsword, I dont give a damn about any of the issues ive been putting forth
exhibit A of Hounds getting shat on
exactly my point
^ funny af
Exhibit B
Honestly dont think greatsword would add anything use to our kit FS doesnt already have, other than being cool
.....unless it does?
force sword with cleave damage, woo yeah baby
they can do anything with it
More damage but slower
and give us a 2handed option
50% more damage but slower and more stamina use
and cleave
the special should be a long charge up cleave projectile
I do like to muse and think about what new weapons they might bring to the Psyker:
Two Handed Force Sword example:
Horde clear and slicing unarmored/infested/headshots
Empowered heavy is sweeping slice that does an extended psychic blade that cleaves further out
Empowered state only lasts for a single swing Heavy or Light.
Force block same as force sword? - Empowered push attack does similar cleave to heavy
like a warp slash
thats just voidstrike
yeah but cooler
yeah
Haliberd force weapon
I'm sure we'll get a 5th class at some point. VT had 5, we have 5 character slots but only 4 classes. Give us tech priest
Plz
or how about a attack where we throw the weapon
N0 it's astartes
special should be a 500 damage infinite cleave horizontal swipe that costs 50 peril
||it shouldn't but imagine||

or like do a warp spin
just want the stagger back while bb builds charge. Even if I'm not doing the damage or get the killing blow, keeping a single mob locked down is a fair trade
just saying that I thought I saw a psyker with a spear as one of the statues in throneside
Lol good luck with hoping we get a marine
spear pls handmaiden mains rejoice
I very much doubt it
no 
We'll get good looking vet cosmetics before then
That was the joke
All they do is die
Has the heresy novel come out that directly goes over horus v sanguinious?
Who's this Horus guy? Cool name
@kindred edge@autumn marten Same answer goes for both really, i cant argue against any of that. to me whats appealing isnt to some others
N0
I would have read it by now
@drowsy fogwait wait you dont know the lore in darktide?
before you take even a dip you need to be warned, its awful
Sanguinuis is my father
Nah I don't really like 40k I'm just here for the tide

is there a "best" perk for force staff? I was kinda thinking Attack Speed or Crit Chance?
Okay im gonna spoil tag it but its just a theory i like
||he falls to the black rage, beats horus and mortally wounds the emperor||
I don't think a best perk
Heresy
Depends on the staff, for my surge i like +20% damage against unarmed enemies
That's my locked perk
I almost bought and wasted my money on vermintife
And rn my rollable one is +5% crit
Same game my azz
imagine darktide like vermintide
But if vermintide has nothing in it
Thats currently darktide
Tell fatshark to get licensing for a lord of the rings tide game that'd be sick
Vermintide isn't 40k what I heard
No vermintide is not 40k and that's an improvement
Vermintide is in the fantasy setting, darktide is in the 40k
they're unrelated in lore (though there was an old link)
I think there's modules to play aos and 40k armies on the same tabletop
oh sorry if you didnt see my answer, i think it depends on the specific staff
I wanna see a lil skink priest drop a meteor on a hive tyrant
yeah that makes sense
I probably shouldn't worry about it until I get to level 30 anyway and then start grinding for "best"
My surge staff does +20% to unarmored enemies because they're kinda "in the net"
and 5% extra crit
There is an invisible progression system
my fellow sparky heads i entreat, what must i do to git gud for heresy difuclty, cause jus the other day i was running malice and even a few heresyt no prolbem but today ive lost like 7/8 herest missions
How so
Positioning is important.
Also pay attention to sound queues
@wheat wren know about sound ques but i actualy never figured out where to stand
Are you level 30?
Stay behind your group but still close and behind cover
priorities clearing your immediate surroundings before engaging with enemies further away from you
Think its just level based, thats it
Mash the hell out of your middle mouse button
except for elite gunners and snipers
No watermarking
@wheat wren is pksyker expected to be the sole one peaking over to the rear? or should i trust allies to do that to?
@night marten its level and purchase base
purchasing a higher power item places higher power ites in the shop
witch only become avalable as you level
^^^
thats exactly what i was trying to say i couldnt find the words
np!
i figured that out with experimentation
one big flaw im working on is panicing when im surounded
lol i "experimented" away like 1000 plasteel today
Idk, I got the best items I have right after hitting 30
380?
No.. base stats, all that matters on a grey item
untill they finally let us reach 100%
For anything, or are you saying only perks and blessing are affected by some kindnof watermarking
Your potential item power increases as the random items you buy/drop increase inpower
no those i think are effect by total weapon power but mainly rng
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knua8qZGPeA
void strike with melee immune just like broken
The total weapon power is the total stat buffs allowed to be spread
And the perk levels
i havent seen better weapons than what im using in weeks
@glass thistleits only that one sword that you can do it with
i am still using white gears, and still work
To that extreme
you can use knife too
skill issue tbh camp the shop harder 24 hourws
Wrt watermarking
Every time you go to the shop just buy the highest power weapon you can get
Fucking true
whats with this
whats with what
Mind over Matter and Mind Over Matter
yea its stupid
O vs o
they shoulda just called em different things
I wouldnt eecommend that to new players, bit would love to see docs somewhere showing that formula or other proof
couldn't think of some other name
its immensely complex to come up with names
what if its worse than what i have
this isnt CoD after all
like zap to the Extreme or somthing
How about this?
These are the cheapest weapons I can buy, how do they stack to yours
https://youtu.be/xR7Sem0Dbrs its cod
thats rng
Thats the thing its a sample size of one saying that
lol
good thing i only use white item 😛
im 99% positive its true but i cant say for sure
wdym mine are still higher
worf or no?
Each of those green weapons have higher power levels
MK2 is like the worst too
Psyker has 2 different minds
That's not saying they're better weapons, its about the specific number
my guy u asked for cheapest then you scrolled up more
blood, take a pic of your top greens
right and i can cherry pick too
damn, its about the same too
well yea cuz shop is rng and bullshit
im not saying youre gonna get 400 power whites
But i never saw a 400 power blue when i was level 30 without more powerful gear
blame it on rng again
This cant really have a conclusion
doesnt really need one
Just give me a 400 purge and fs and I'll never check the shop again
Any thougts on the different marks of dueling swords? Anyone more worth checking out than others?
https://prnt.sc/0a5fTDP6lXTA found on a las in milkans stash
I remember someone saying 2 are single target and 1 is horde
seems pretty fucking good
psyker got the beanz
finally got a void with quel buts its tier 1 
don't worry, in two months, when FatDevs finally implement blessing swapping, you'll be able to upgrade that
duel sword is for bob up mobs only, dont need stat
low tier with good stats is better than a high tier with bad stats, cause you can just upgrade it
void strike just so addictive , its like plasma gun, but free ammo
side note love the beloved being the emperor
This is a bit of a soap box, but let me know your thoughts.
Perk Re-Roll (refine) system rework:
Option 1) Let players re-roll the second perk, but don't reduce the costs of the refine (material sink)
Option 2) Allow both perks to be re-rolled, but only reduce either to a minimum of half or quarter of initial (still sink)
Option 3) Be nice to the players and both perks can be re-rolled with reductions down to free.
Sidenote: Let us select the perk we want after re-rolling becomes free (this is a common player request)
thought it was some daemon at first
Yeah I tried to go Surge staff, but after using a Voidstrike staff, I just can't do it.
option 4: Port over vt2 crafting system
3
3 obviously
actually i like option 4 more
they want people to experiment but impose such lame restrictions
on top of the fact that we cant even craft weapons
we have to camp the shop
thats already incentive enough for them to let you pick what you want cuz when you get it is so rare
I understand they want experimentation, but it feels like they don't want us to have the weapon we want because it'll mean we won't check the shop anymore
They should be rewarding players that play the game by giving them options to craft/hone their perfect weapon
= reason to still check shop
Sure, but I'll settle for something in the ballpark of a near perfect roll
use only white item, problem solve
when i think of 40k i think of all the space marines gathered around hourly reset slot machines hoping to finally get the bolter they want to use on their next missoin
why not upgrade them?
why?
no luck with the RNG
so....you decided to not try at all?
no mats
Spent them all upgrading his curios
ah allright,side not my zealot is also called queen
and my pskyer is fateweaver ORZ
Kairos Fateweaver, also known simply as Fateweaver and the Oracle of Tzeentch, is a two-headed Lord of Change, a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch.
That's some goddam HERESY!
anyone got any clue on how to deal with backend error?
use surge on your harddisk

Who uses harddisks anymore? SSDs are the fuuuuuutuuurrreeee
ops i miss read the past
https://i.imgur.com/skNBQY5.png is this a good weapon to get at melk's?
Wait til you hit level 30 before buying Melk gear
i am level 30 😦
Ah, well that weapon has really low stats, so I wouldn't buy it.
The number 295 is the number you should look at when buying a weapon.
wouldn't consecration boost its stats?
It does not
oh
It only gives you a perk or a blessing.
So when you see a weapon with 350+ in the modifiers section (where the 295 is on that weapon) THEN buy it
is it actually worth buying?
idk which type of lasgun that one is
i know they range from widely inaccurate but stronk to super accurate but weak
For a Psyker, maybe not unless you want to use guns often.
i dont like staves
Forgive me for asking, but then why are you playing Psyker?
because big head go boom
i sometims don't use staves
as a psyker
also holding out for subclasses
Ok. Fair enough.
just go straight force sword build
Also, for the stats, the ranges of good to bad are pretty large.
with a lasgun pistol for range
i dont like force swords either
FAV STYLE
heresy
A 50% to a 70% might not be very impactful in practice.
Worth?
If you can dodge well then yeah
They are very fast to dodge and sprint
lots of forward thrusts with an occasional crowd swipe
best perks for FS?
See thats what confuuuses me
Staves can do the CC and the FS is for Single targets
y have those CC swords when you have the stave
Because not every staff is CC
voidstrike comes to mind
Void? Zombies coming at you all over? Fire at th efloor under you repeatedly they all dead
void is cc.
Are you wanting to be defensive or offensive?
Void is not primarily CC
Not primarly, but in a horde it blows entire holes into it.
Yes
Fire 3 of those in rapid succession any horde is dead
In a corridor, yes. Not really in open fields.
Mutant bursting through? FS Warp into the face
Thats where team comes in
eh, its a FS with deflector. choose it for cc not dmg.
so id hope for 10% block? but what about the other one? unarmoured? i cant decide which perk i should roll
reroll specialist
for anti armor
ye i think you right.. need the horde clear dmg

are you saying roll flak?
Reroll the poxwalkers to Elite
^^ I'd say that
you think specialist is good?
It's better on FS than poxwalkers, lol
i see swords with unarmoured for horde clear
Sidestepping a Mutant into a warp strike with FS is fun
thought this could be walmart unarmoured
They're using exploits to lawnmower hordes
FS weaker 😦 they dont get 1 tap unless i crit lol
I use FS for elites etc
n0t for random mobs
thats a waste

You typically use the FS for elites/bosses, but you can clean up a few poxwalkers
nah its the dmg you do between blocking
like when you have it out defensively
cant use staff all the time
can't slice more than one enemy with fs
so ud just get damaged
unless you can remember to force block and push and then slice
repeatedly
you can slice 2
I never noticed

light > heavy > block reset hits a couple, but yeah its shit

Why do i feel that FS really hurting of it's special attack animation being long?
And big dmg on psy-blast part...
yes i can, and you cant make me stop blasting
I feel like its damage over time the animation
not actually you do the hit and its instant damage
But you slice then the warp effect daamge
whole effect
nah FS its 3 ticks isnt it
both DoT and a big chunk at the end
Test on boss. Big chunk comes after blast animation
actually its a 3 hit combo
THO what we need is invulnerability during Warp FS animation
initial strike, DoT, then headpop
Like, chainsword is better >_>
I mean in chunky hit dept.
you want some random mechanical sword
especially not in that department
Twohander then
Doesnt zealots have one?
does pyskinetic wrath only work with force swords or does that work with staffs as well?
what
What
thats the F ability
yes
it doesnt have anything to do with weapons
also helps wit hstaff damage, doesnt affect the damage of the burn affect of soulblaze though
💀
Works best on not making you boom-boom
thats the whole point
You HIT F to down all the horde and walk up all the way to the elite
and warp sword his face
See
? Better have F off cooldown...

F is for venting mainly, some small utility with Blaze when using Purgatus, or to make BB usable on higher diff
thank you
OR
Which I hate
Sometimes the marksmens dont shoot the gunners in rear
so you F wrath the horde
and walk all the way to the back
and fs his face
Didn't reallize there was a feat called pyskintec's wrath and then the actual ability lol
or just shoot the gunners with your warp powered bowling ball of explosions
i forget
Your ability lets you stagger certain enemies like ragers, stop dogs/removing dogs from teammates at very far distances, create space for various reasons, etc etc
Duel snipers with void staff
sometimes the hide behidn the walls so i cant hit them
so i say frick it and walk there and smack him
usually team follows up and follows
or i die
with purgatus it lets you go above the burn cap on your staff which increases your damage by a lot
I hit mutie with charged FS... before big dmg happened he turned around and grabbed me.
I don't use FS after that bs
bad timing
Erm
Im pretty sure it bypasses shield
again, getting the timing wrong
From my pov
it does not
I haven't been blocked by the shield once yet
Nah i saw shield dmg
Don't think anything does
you have to be very fast after the shield pops to get the FS charge attack
What I want to know if it cancels out animations
same with the mutant
so lets say a hound is jumping and you FS its face
Actually I think force sword is a weakness to pskyer def
does it cancel its tackle
how?
Force sword = Force Block = high peril = more dps
then you have force downing push
@analog juniper non force sword can tank melee forever
you can literally wade through a horde to save people with the FS
and block bullets on top
It wont work if bullet start kick in

It blocks bullets
Whaaaaa
if you have the blessing
it works but only from the front
I mean force sword cant quell with blocking
You force down the peeps in front and use F
and quell
and repeat
Non force sword can block and quell at the same time
your shields will rechage during block
irrelevant
or during period of rest
you also cant block bullets
With deflective blessing
oh wait nvm
u talking about the trash non force

ye
You just bath inside horde and immune to melee with non force sword, r gunner cant shoot you too
the auto-quell on non-force weapon is quite sizable, dont forget that either
I'm aware
On topic of melee. Dagger,shortsword,sable are suboptimal?
does deflector autoblock ranged while reviving
I just dont see a reason to not use FS
Same
thats fucking amazing then
one shot killer fs vs non force sword
if only i had one
the duelling swords are pretty decent, its a shame its movement tech got removed
im here to tell you about our lord and savior mkv axe

Kinda its a bit jank.. iirc for reviving it blocks all normal shots 360 but reaper and shotgunners are a bit jank
I've seen that axe, I have that axe, I cant block bullets with that axe
Non force sword = 360 immune to all melee forever
Fs is my elite and boss killer too
it doesnt block bullets 360
only like 90 degrees in front
wish we had a force axe...
for reviving*
no
FS is active too danger , it takes too long
Takes like seconds
when reviving its the same
perhaps my tune will change if a bullet blockin FS would just show up in the shop for me...
nah it blocks 360 I've been shot in the back and its blocked it
for reviving
It’s like Rev of Chainsword, too dangerous
if I get shot from behind while rezzing I always die
you have a team thats covering you wtih bullets so whatever Horde gets downed by your F
You one shot that armored elite
coming at u

maulers? you dont oneshot them
or 2.
Also at higher difficulty bullet fill your quell at 3 sec
so is there an achievement or penance for completing all mission types on damnation, or is that purely for masochism personal enjoyment?
frame
two full chage hits it gonna die
You can actually one shot maulers with FS special but it requires setup and a bit jank
eh, it's still something
why would you take the ogryn job
and then you have 2-3 maulers at the same time and one does a overhead swing while you are using the special
we can do every classes jobs wym?
Idk how you are getting shot that a FS fills your peril in 3 seconds btw
You have 3 CC abilities you can use before an enemy gets near you too
And force sword have no auto quell
Surge? Void? Wrath?
you get a funny border for beating all mission types on damnation besides that its masochism
2 reapers, 14 shooters 4 gunners
I mostly play damnation and struggle to switch out the mk5 axe. Would like other weapons to get a minor buff
Wrath 
and Force sword also has CC
how are you in a position to get shot by all of them at once lmao
itself with that downing
For me only use void strike
stand in a doorway blocking, lol, idk
how would you guys feel about a crafting system more similar to VT2?
at that point you'd be better off using the unlimited dodges of the FS
I try to keep my peril above 50% anyways
Horde Spawning behind you.
Nothing personnel, kid.

Blocking bullet isn’t good at all, becuz you can corner blast gunners with void strike
Thats why you have a flanker
ended up paying a player to play flank role
zzz
i mainly use force sword
the FS shove and shove attack are both very strong if you know how to use it, unlimited dodge on the FS helps with horde, but yeah

Blocking bullets is better than not being able to block bullets.
Checkmate
peril and warp resistance affect how much peril you gain via blocking dont they?

Hey so I found a lvl 19 Deflector psyker blade. Is it worth using? For the tank build as I level up?
Also blocking bullet always make you careless to sniper, which cant be block
I run FS cuz I like deflector utility but yeah mk V is also meta
hide behind cover
dunno how the dueling sword is now with the movetech removed
:x
only noobs try to block the sniper
it doesnt really
How fucking smallbrain are you that you lose your habits of dodging snipers
because you can dodge bullets
@pure peak then why stop the bullet, you can always in cover
its like saying blocking bullets make you think you can block fire
Get to lvl 30 without wasting much of crafting mats
Some of us Main FS
say that to everyone that died to snipers
probably gonna piss off a lot of people with this, but isn't this our symbol on the new zealot cosmetic? https://i.imgur.com/jLP1o7R.jpeg
So we charge with FS to kill elites
the only things you cant block are some overhead attacks from bosses and elites, and the sniper
Staves are my secondary
FS elite kill have such low effective
or i use lasguns
The stats are shit, but keep it to take its blessing when they implement that
It's inquisition symbol iirc
Wat
Better than marksman against armored foes
you mean the symbol on the chest? Thats just the symbol of the inquisition, Psyker just has it plastered all over its armor
Bob up and void strike multiple elite in a line
I @daring mural I haven't crafted anything. So I need to? I just have Deflector sword at 19. What else do I need? Should I save it for 30?
Dueling sword is also good. You trade some killing power for speed comparing to the axe.
always? I expect you're never shot then right?
had 2 marksmen litterly die to a single elite mutant that had a shield and full armor
even while reviving
21% hp and 17% toughness is the highest i've seen on curios
shame this set is for zealots
anybody seen 22 or 18?
Don't bother, its the same with ogryns. If you look in ogryn chat they all swear that shields suck and you should run knife. Except they actually have a reasoning lmao
Just buy stronger stuff from shop till 30.
For early lvls i liked recon lasgun, later void or surge staves
I have heard toughness can also go to 20%
Im pretty sure thats just the inquisitorial rosette. All classes get it at 30
@olive ember not really, clue is good too
@uncut hamlet thanks won't I still be able to block bullets and stuff as I walk around tho until I melee with it out?
Club
99.999% of Shield ogryns are doing some truly ungabunga things with the shield
@tired cosmosDeflector is imo a necessary blessing for the force sword, you have a very good weapon but it will be outclassed as you level up
like standing in a tiny doorframe not moving for 30s
@daring mural yea I like recon lasgun too
21% hp is bis now
health technically can go to 25% haven't seen it yet either. Best I've gotten is a 21% blue
bis?
What Blessings/Perks do you want on a Dueling Sword anyway?
Best in slot
I hate FS because it limited you def and attack ability by for auto quell
MMO terminology learned from ffxiv kek
ah
maybe they chenged it
@rancid burrow so do I just save it for lvl 30? It feels like I got it too early
And blocking bullet is really silly
i havent seen anything over 21 either
You're going to melee, you can't really play this game avoiding melee forever. For the moments you do, bad stats will kill you. Plus you wont have the mobility for dodging or warp resistance to lower peril cost for blocking that comes with a higher tier fs
There was site with modifiers and how high they can roll
this comment onfused me
but why wouldnt u use cover to
o.e
can hide behind cover and quell and repeat

How exactly is it limiting your defence when you can defend against melee and ranged?
You didn't get it too early no, and it's gonna be weak by the time you're level 30. Give her a try
Nah you don't understand his big brain. A defensive blessing limits your defences, don't you get it?
Honestly I only find the auto quell speed of a non FS useful if I'm tanking a daemon host
lmfao
@rancid burrow so how do I play it now?
@pure peak https://youtube.com/watch?v=xR7Sem0Dbrs&feature=shares all you need is a good vet mate take out all shooters before they shoot others
"This blessing is bad as long as you have a good vet"
Who said just shooters?
So for a crowd control combo, one light attack chained to a heavy attack, then block and push
You use the sword on any big mobs
@rancid burrow I'm confused by the people saying just go for better weapons
"Therefore this blessing is bad"
The sword can block bullets with stamina
@pure peak who use bullet beside gunners ?
I think people are under the assumption you have access to better ones
FS just help me block bullets
Nah keep the weapon for sure, you just wont be able to use it forever if you plan on doing heresy damnation
while i kill an elite
But you just got this new one for the first time
@rancid burrow okay so should I get curios and stuff that add stamina for block?@uncut hamlet
once you outgrow its stats, keep the sword to take its blessng to put on another force sword
Malice gameplay means nothing tbh... you can bring anything on malice and it will work (I use dual linked stubber ogryn on malice)
FS special is very good. This is a good enough reason to use it.
not saying they should balance around the top 1% but still
Worth grabbing?
@tired cosmosfocus more on toughness
with peril block its not necessary. I'm not sure if block efficiency works on deflector, but in general its safe to go health/toughness always
@rancid burrow @uncut hamlet I also got blessing or perk for +block finesse? Is that good?
Block efficiency works w/ deflector iirc
and lets say you have the shocking staff. The FS blocks everything so you can go over ther eand shock the shiet of him.
FS killing elite just so slow, you need to run up, and do a 3 s special animation, for one target.
A gun zealot takes out 3 crusher in 4s, and vet take out a room of gunner in volley fire
Yes it does
yea
if youre going for pure defensive yea
depends on team
ok then play zealot or vet jfc
Some psykers don't know how much work the other psyker puts in on the team
Lets be real lol
Hmmm while leveling get ordo or xp stuff.
Yeah, dealing sword is fun to use. Try it out.
FS killing elite isn't slow tho?
^^^
charge the thing as you run or before you run so that by the time you reach there you just hit and get your big damage and go. Ez
@daring mural I got a 4% increase curio only one I found

I can show you it blocking a daemonhost with 0 damage
For me, the best of pskyer is the unlimited melee block ability, and super horde delete with void strike line up
Litterly put warp onto the sword then CHARGE the sword
you can do that with an axe too, and a FS if you really need to
And them bam hit the elite
@daring mural do refine get xp%, a lot of times?
tbh dont worry about your build at all for now. At 30, your rolls start getting better across the board. Until then, everything you get will be overshadowed eventually
Ik its just something funny i did
If you go del elite , you just not effective than others
Nah, waste of materials
And thats the only time I feel like the faster passive quell of non force weapons even matters compared to force weapons
okay so, fs deflect doesnt work for you. It doesnt mean it doesnt work for others
oh yah
If shops sell it - get one
Every wep have it's use. You are not just taking a stupid stick and just kill everything with it.
youre arguing something is trash because you dont know how to use it
anything about 360+ is good, and anything 370+ is a must grqab
What's fastest way to level just so quick level 2 assassination?
Thats the point im making here
smh
@olive ember use non force weapon for super fast quell when you can still def yourself
i am speed
I disagree. I've seen 370+ with like 50 damage that I would not grab
not necessarily true, you haven't seen the low roll 30% damage 370's i've gotten kek
In any case we all have a preferences
yeah but... it's dockets?
i dont see a point using the ugly dualing sword
what else are you gonna use em for
over FS
just grab it for the hidden shop buff 

@spiral remnanti do the same
I can still defend myself with a FS even with high peril? Its not like i'm just sitting there holding rmb lol
