That's when it starts costing stamina for block
or just dodging
There is a limit
I find mk5 axe more useful partly due to how busted the block attack is, especially on psyker. You can smash your way through a horde reliably and take out specials within the blob that are giving your team trouble when shit has hit the fan. FS is better at elite killing quickly, but there is something about being able to horde wade safely while continuously doing damage that is hard for me to give up. Your mileage may wary ofc. Not looking to convert anyone.
You can block using Peril
the FS push alone is good to get through a horde
you can still do fs push
You're not actually invincible. It feels like you are, which means on high difficulty you can get punished HARD getting cocky
HEck you have 2 pushes
Light attack, heavy, block push, repeat
Wrath and FS push
@olive ember but a non force weapon can quick swipe to a aoe rod and do high value dps and quick swipe back to melee
Dueling sword can be use like axe but less killing power. It give you good speed in return
I feel like that axe will get nerfed cause even the dmg it does s unusual, plus that might be the fastest block attack in the game
agreed
just seems mega busted
2 psyker weapons in my entire shop, both under 340. I love the requisitorium
Anyone know if fastest way to get from 20-30 is lvl 2 assassination missions quick runs. Or is there better way? When I run pickups if I go higher it seems I get matched with people who die and we end up losing the map
If you have an AOE rod why are they getting that close to you anyways :/
i dont see the need for Speed
Mk5? Thx for advice
Melee never as effective as range attacks as pskyer, because you use time at moving , unlike zealot have dash
and you can quick swipe to an AOE rod regardless

Because Heresy+ is a different game
Nice man
I personally just always go as high of a difficulty as I can personally manage for fun, so I'm not sure on the best way to level
situational. Sometimes open ground they get close
I know they increased rewards for higher levels
Not 380 base stats, trash. 
or no rear guard so you have a hound or two coming from azz.
I play Heresy
Use force sword special just too dangerous at T5
but im not sure if it outweighs the speed of lower levels
That is your choice in this case. Moving fast can be very handy though.
It really isn't
ill use just carry stave or bare hands and run around
I play damnation and heresy with FS and I do just fine
crazy how people use it safely. They must be cheating
YO WHERE U GET THAT HEAD PEICE
here's part of a thing I made. I also have a panel with examples
How do you guys think we could improve progression?
lv 3 penance hat
same here, plus, 90% of the time I'm the one killing the mutant fast
complete every psyker penance, including "beat every mission type on heresy+ as a psyker" and "complete like 150 games as psyker"
@uncut hamlet it just like use Rev at T5, lock you up into a unmoveable situation, and the damage is so bad
wdym nice fs skin
@fresh reefI think the image needs to be bigger to accomodate for a "table of contents" with those descriptions. It's very hard to read at a glance. Good info though

anyone else here finding psykinetic's wrath not pushing whatever you're facechecking?
tfw you realize those stupid markers are account wide and do absolutely nothing to help you figure out what mission you have yet to complete on your second toon
Warp Absorption or Quietude.
yea but its crazy how some people do it safely and use it effectively at T5 isnt it? Almost like it's perfectly viable?
maybe ur too far
?
Lag
FS special just so bad, even the TH charge is bad enough @uncut hamlet
they are account wide + they only started tracking from the update, so any missions you did beforehand don't count lmao
do not rely on that push for the CC. It's for venting, fire or to make BB faster
And saving yourself if you're gonna explode*
also if you hit the FS onto the charger before it hits you
cancel out his charge
well it helps with poxbusters
Ah yes, doing 2k dmg is very bad, lol

it was mostly just to give the math on the factors,
here's the proceeding panel
absolutely insane that people use it well then, damn
Its inconsistent and you gotta get a feel for it tbh
I still use the push for CC but
@analog juniper a Evisc swing on mutant is more than 2500
heck ive even had the fs push do nothing while facechecking a poxburster
Yeah that looks good obviously a in game example would be better
Don't really use it for actual CC, more like a "get off me" button
I have never been grabbed by a mutant after I FS animated his face.
But for a concept its great
canceled
You gotta dodge the grab still
an evisc also cant deflect or have infinite dodges or infinitely push
Are you going to try and claim that Evi is faster than the FS?
cause its not
It will win if only the strike lands and not the blast
hey quick question, do gunners and shotgunners coutn as elites? for the penance?
it also swings slower than fs
yes
yea i dont use it for cc, mostly for venting peril or spending my stacks with acendant blaze
tbf i dont know how to dodge i just walk tot hte side

essentially anything you can ping
Evi take forever to finish anything.
wait i thought those were classified as specialists
@analog juniper on mutant EViC dps is always better than FS tho, just side dash and cut, no Rev just heavy
Gunners, shotgunners, ragers, maulers
You wanna dodge sideways when his right (in your eyes) arm starts moving
though if you are talking about penances go for shotgunners and gunners yea
how do u side step
And then heavy attack his back
You know what, you're right. I'm gonna start running an eviscerator on my psyker. Have you seen one in shop lately?
Hold the button in the direction you want to dodge, then press space
i just jump
You need to learn how to dodge

been playing with out it
diagonally backwards too
on what difficulties
You've been playing at a MASSIVE disadvantage lol
lv 4/5?
yes
trial by fire
Thats why you die
that is why you die
that is why you die
Thats why I rely on FS so much
I changed jump button to alt, so space is for dodges only
you're basically throwing away all your mobility
one of fs' benefits is that it has infinite dodges
i feel stupid
If you cant use the FS effectively it's a skill issue tbh, cause you arent going to convince anyone the FS isnt good at applying big damage or that the ability to block bullets and block with peril instead of stamina is bad.
and you dont get to utilize that either
i go practice dodge on Fs
Bring a knife into a high intensity mission. You will learn to dodge really fucking quick.
@pure peakim gonna write up a long thing on the FS and dodges for you
Dodge use stamina correct?
I didn't start dodge before like lv25 too. Just try to use it more and you will be fine.
Yeah
Dodge is free
@glass thistle Have you found any evis on your psyker in shop yet? how long did you wait till you got yours?
i not even dodging even at lvl 30

I never understand why ppl think infinity dash is a thing, a lowest mobile knife do better dash than that infinity dash on FS
Dodging stop stamina regen until you finish dodging, but doesnt use anything
Knife dodge is broken, you can literally just circle around a horde trimming them down without having to worry about being hit.
Honestly the two weeks of vermintide before darktide early access rly teaches alot of things, I thought dodging was second nature
why would i use a knife when i can use a magical sword anyways
dodging while blocking is like 70% of my damnation experience
The knife also does less damage. And cant block bullets. And cant stop elites.
Its like do I use a puny hooman made knife? Or do I use a warp magical sword that the emperor and primarch uses
you can also do that with a FS. Additionally, your knife cant block bullets
Your argument for every aspect of why the fs is bad is "x can do this better", which is intended because no weapon is supposed to be the best at everything. The evis is slower, the knife does negative damage, the TH has no cleave, etc
231 Views. Watch combat knife is a meme weapon incapable of clutching and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
Moving fast is actually a very good thing.
This was pre movement tech nerf btw
You can litterly just FS Warp down block and switch to stave real fast fire off and switch back
repeat rinse
Even if you were theoretically right, @glass thistle, no one would believe you because you're absolutely terrible at getting your points across.
No deflector 
no solid arguments
How do you deal with shooters on Heresy+? I swear I peak a corner and even if my allies are in front of me I get shot by 9 out of 10 lasguns
and have the emegercy F button
knife movement has always been good, knife on psyker though? Heresy
some people run it, if they can make it work good on em other wise
almost as heretical as the gun psyker
Letβs say when you facing 3 melee elite, how could you use the FS finish them together, and your quell build up so fast you can just run
"are you saying I'll be able to dodge bullets?" "i'm saying that when you're ready, you won't have to. you can block them instead with your force sword" "thanks morpheus, i love you" sloppy kissing noises
FS dodge distance modifier is a negative number even at %80 where my knifes is +12.50. I dont really have issues with ranged as I either just dodge the shots or kill them myself from a distance.
I dont think you can be grabbed during FS animation
or i havent seen it happen
Dont peek corners first as psyker
you stagger 2 and then kill the third?
its not that hard
I started tier 1 missions being afraid of ogryns and bosses, I ended up with tier 5 missions being afraid of regular dudes with rifles.
^^ double bulwarks still are a bit scary
And when you use FS special on a elite, a vet or zealot just one shot it before your animation ends
Regular dudes with rifles are OP!!
Everyone acts like FS with deflector is the best of any interaction, when the deflector is really just a safety net. Its extremly handy, but not a requirement by any means.
Wats your loadout? As a surge I'll charge, peak out, unleash, and go back into my corner to hide
JFC
When will you stop moving the goalposts?
Push all the elites with F, charge, kill one, use FS push to push the 2nd, charge and kill the 3rd, backdash, change and kill the 2nd. GG
what fucking veteran is doing 2k damage in one hit? a thunder hammer?
the deflector is offensive and defensive
increases peril = more damage
I mean, if force sword can't deal with every situation conceivable, is it really a good weapon? Every other weapon is good at everything after all, right?
That doesnt invalidate my claim.
Says the person using the Knife as a kiting safely net, lmao
its good and probably bis, but not required
You know what else increase paril? Shooting with your staff.
these discussions are funny
FS has crowd control too
After this mission I'll post
This is exactly how a room of psykers probably would talk to eachother

Just less chaos spawn
Can the block on psyker sword block gunner fire?
yes
at least we have moved on from the 'my stick is best stick' civil war
sick
You are correct on a technicality but you also have to consider what the alternative weapons are and it boils down to hordeclear vs utility. Every other class can hordeclear, deflector FS brings utility
w/ blessing
aahh
you need the "deflector" trait otherwise no
Looks like an XII hitting every headshot as fast as possible? you gonna hit a mutant running perpendicular to you at max shots/sec with poxwalkers on you?
@olive emberYeah you keep flexing that
Thank you for actually bringing up a valid argument as opposed to being getting all defensive. Its a rare deal.
We litterly stated all the utilities it brought
ignoring the fact that vet has other things to shoot too. Like shooters.
I've been in this server for like an hour and psyker talk is just nuts
better use a non force weapon and keep the mobile on the chara, auto quell and do more DPS asap, at least for me
look at this heartbreaking thing. Only deflector I had for weeks.
it seems like people argue over points we agree with
That damage roll is
Same, the non-force weapon quell is great.
oof
keep it to take its blessing for the future
because the biggest weakness of pskyer is they need to slow down when quell, auto quell counter that
No one has argued against this except Cary lol
I wanna emphasize that the FS's deflector isn't just a "Psyker Tank" butto." it allows it to tank like hell
but it's not meant for it
Meh
that is definitely not the biggest weakness
Been busy maxing the other classes. Any interesting meta builds?
I use it ALL THE TIME
Nothing wrong with continuing to use it
my peril is 50+ 24/7
your biggest weakness solved with just one feat
Just annoying when people go "no FS deflector? wow trash."
For psyker? I run warp battery with ascendant blaze and purge staff. Fun asf
you shouold try to keep up with top zealot and vet teams, pskyer just got no time to rest
No we were just explaining it was good
it was the other person that was saying FS is bad
sorry, I didnt know you were training for esports already?
you drop your def with this weak feat
Or, you don't see the psyker doing their job
You got it backwards
autoquell has good synergy with the perk that allows us to regen toughness with quell
Tbh you have a team why you trying to solo the entire game
to be fair running mind in motion is kinda E

Why would you take that feat to be able to run while quelling when you can just swap to a melee and sprint while quelling automatically.
its nice QoL while leveling but past that its
Plus you miss out on the peril block feat
so is kinetic shield tho
I cannot go back to a non-deflector force sword. it's one of those things where opinion is forced lol
worst feat to use
I'd argue better than kinetic shield tbh
wat
gud
just quell with the staff
mind in motion lets you avoid damage outright, the 33% toughness reduction blocks like what... one extra shot?
Sometimes I pull out my FS just to try it out every now and then but I am a knife girl at heart
@warm deltai went with that at first but no, Flayer is the best imo
and dont forget you can force enemy to hit you and gen toughness autoly too
Which is funny because my FS is my highest rated melee
It's pretty much a promise of consistent warp charges
I own over 25 five swords. Zero of them have deflector π
and free 1k dmg
Kay someone tell devs to give us invulnerability during FS warp animation
flayer is like lvl 25 feat tho
I genuinely don't even think of that
I tested it out, mind in motion is noticeable even with staff out, and to me the move speed of it is better than the toughness dmg reduction, but peril blocking is just π
One of the biggest problems with your arguments is that your points keep changing. When one point is countered, you stop arguing it and start arguing on another thing. "Not enough damage, too slow, bullet blocking is useless, quelling is slow, knife has better mobility, evis has better dps". You constantly spout bs instead of taking the time to consider that we're not saying fs is the best weapon. It's simply a good one, and not at all bad like you assume. Even the best weapons like the XII have drawbacks
dont worry you'll get one eventually
with non force melee, you can abuse AI to help you gen 30 toughness pre sec
you can with thie simple trick "press F"
Fam i use that alrady
to down the horde
to get to that elite
charge, press F, hit elite, dodge spam backwards, profit
lol you're always vulnerable on the offensive but with deflector and all perks you are effectivelly at 0 damage
dodging too
This wasnt valid because i never learned how to dodge
till now
I really wish the FS dodge was better, I would use it more if it was.
I mean if you really want you can turn around and sprint backwards XD, just be prepared to turn around again to block the magnetized enemies
It is unlimited, but like I said earlier, negative distance modifier.
I'm having so much fun running around and being a knife pervert on my vet I just log in to my psyker to visit the shop for force swords and then enchant those force swords and then be sad when they're all executor or whatever. I'm getting pretty close to just skipping the "play psyker" step
it's not that bad
doenst work cuz
i noticed the pox is faster than u running

just not 2km like the knife or duelling sword
Its pretty bad when you prefer the distance of a knife or a DS.
I dodge like crazy
the mobility is addictive
It doesnt have the same range, but those weapons are built for mobility so its expected
Ideally on psyker dodging is only to gain space to charge an attack
at least for me, using the surge staff
if i wanted to use knife or some random sword i would have been a zealot anyways
and i duno how many bullet a FS can block before it reach crit quell at T4+
then cleaving with the fs
A lot.
That's all you gotta know
Block efficiency is your friend.
I don't know the number
Another random point you bring up instead of replying to my earlier comment.
Even a devils claw with a %60 modifier has a +1.0 distance.
but ive done revives i shouldnt have been allowed to lol
Meanwhile my FS with a %73 modifier
Unlimited dodges is nice though
I wont deny that
I just prefer distance
seems someone prefers to run away
we're all allowed to have personal preferences without having to be locked into a cagefight to see what is objectively best
but but
dash recharge just so fast, infinity become not a advantage
with trash endgame this is how I pass my time
Arguing about the games meta instead of actually playing
Not running away, just hitting them while dodging so that they cant hit me back. I rarely even have to block.
Agreed
you might love psyker channel
Hey im filtering you all out to see whos worth playing with
totally not ignoring the game on the other monitor
i play with friends or pay randoms to play roles for me to cover my weakness anyways

if i over peril a ogryn comes save my azz
anyone up for a 4x psyker damnation run?
How do you think ppl prepare corpse starch in universe? Bread? mash potatoes? soup?
its like others stack stamina recover, in a point theres always stamina to block
i refuse to eat that shiet

Thats unfortunate. I guess youll starve to death and get turned into corpse starch
In a hive city probably just in a plastic wrap like arbys, and its cut off like arbys cold cuts
I am not worth playing with. I use a knife on damnation.
Space marines dont eat that stuff
and primarchs don't
nvm
too bad youre a member of an inquisition warband, who do eat that stuff
and their own recycled waste
just a block of nutrient paste? eww
I was playing but I stopped cause the people in the mission were not meleeing the shield of the captain and instead all backed up shooting and we wiped. This was on my lvl 17 ogryn, and every one else in the mission was higher level
Btw that's how arby's meat is made
It's literally jelley meat that is sliced
It comes in a plastic bag
Level means nothing yeah. I just assume my teammates are bots until proven otherwise
Deliscious roast jelly meat
Even on T5, 4 people meleeing take down the shield in a dozen seconds tops. Idk why people refuse to do it
They might not know tbh
Level means a lot on psyker imo
also some ranged weapons are decent against shields like the flamer
if you dont have deflection you're at a huge disadvantage
as pskyer you can just use a normal melee and tank the assassin boss forever
youre not useless but very weakened
can do that with literally any weapon with peril block
I was playing ogryn my g
pls read
idt he can honestly
I dont feel very weakened. I die more trying to rely on deflection than I do just dodging with my knife.
ogryn is more easy, use the one target heavy regen toughness
Grox, snow ox, amino porridge, caba nuds crispabread (BREAD)
k there are lots of foods besides startch

me no starve
Dude they need to rework psyker im tired of dealing with it being ass and now a new bug made it so i cant chain brain bursts as well
Definitely. Just not food you can get on a hive world
and the characters in game have referenced eating corpse starch
and weapon with chain hit regen toughness too, ogryn is good at that
meaning our entire warband does
sounds like some upper hiver nonsense
Relying on deflection is how you survive, not thrive. Not having that specific perk makes it harder to survive @echo parrot
fr
amino porridge is what space marine eat
Hopefully that makes sense
ill go steal from deathwatch
To be fair chaining BB is an E moment

So much fun thi
"Amino-porridge is a nutrient-dense food eaten by Space Marines"
I agree if you are specifically using a FS without deflector, but if you arent using a FS I disagree.
Tho
I feel like every psyker "buff" has just been a bugfix
Yeep stealing from inquisitor space marines

Mmy force sword has deflector
So does mine
9/10 times I get arrogant with the peril toughness and a crusher will take me out
I just dont like it
trying to clutch
Of course it is
Fuck sake GIVE ME LUCK PLEASE GAME
thats a nice sword
That's also a skill issue that's intuitive
no
cash shop? oh I'm a broke ass who could barely afford darktide I forget that exists tbh XD
the nice stuff is in der
Meanwhile this is what I actually run.
what when
Steel imperium guard armor is there rn
btw
Why else do you think I was desperate enough to actually do all the psyker penances
I'll send u an ugly hat as my yearly gift to the poor
i was never interested in cosmetics
You need bleed on non-weakspot hits instead of riposte
one of my friends is a vet main and yeah every match is with a steel legion lol
im checking out the shop now
Heretic
Its in their most recent patch notes, theyre not planning on swapping them for a while, and allegedly theyll come back at some point after cycling out.
you play mmo but no buy outfits
soudns like a male thing
Drip is endgame

I know, ill be swapping that one out when that ability is unlocked, assuming I dont get a 380 between now and then.
and yes I play FFXIV free trial. Been 3 years (since 2019) I am still using the shire set
Sounds like someone who doesn't have 2500+ hours in another mmo
God I would love a 380 knife with %80 mobility
Should consider changing the skin to a different one. I love surge but hate the big block.
I am a fan of the purg longboy myself
use void
love me some good purging
Its more so identification because I sometimes forget to change loadouts and in the loading screen I'll be like "hey i'm about to run the trauma staff on heresy, lets change that"
Ahhh fair enough
I'm looking through some of the penence rewards and yeah they're cool but not cool enough
call the choas police on me
the psyker penance rewards??
T3 psyker and vet penance are elite
I just did a quick sweep of them yeah
Goggle gang rise up
Dont like the goggles
always the grey hood/face mask
compliments heresy armor really well
those are teh maxed out penance sets for each class basically
except the zealot doesn't make you bald anymore
Wish ogryn had carapace armor
as pence
I think this is fine
my current sword
I don't look like I just got sent off to morrowind
There is an alternative color for the psyker T3 that has an all black hood and gold trim. Nobody knows how the hell to get it.
Really wish the fish would throw us a bone
huh what
images?
how can you tell me this
Ill try to find them again, they are hard to find
... I really want the Redemption Raiment. This is going to suck; I only play at times where using a microphone isn't an option, even if I had one suitable for games. ~_~
my deflector sword is stuck at like
250 power
give me another one already, not the thing I got at level 10 xD
Oh man it even gives per strike damage in combos
There's some min-maxing to be done
I cant find them, I fucking wish I had saved those images..
ya know i wonder if this game is like they put shop item and you cant rebuy after it goes away
that would be kewl
like this one another game

can i hv it
How to piss off every other psyker in a pug.
why
mines similar but with a different helmet
what helmet is that anyways
The impact is that you are wearing the very last tier but with prison clothes.
You would be surprised.
and give it no more thought
Farming psyker penances changes you
why would they be angry though
they know how hard it is
if anything theyd be impressed
sibling why do you torment me
You are reading to much into this
Yes
He's talking about the voices in his head because nobody in lobby would give a shit.
Its great
Standard psyker stuff
Yes beloved, this man right here.
i need to get back to doing penances
exactly people would be lol cool and forget about it forever
i get you wanna flex your goggles but in reality other players dont care that much
i really don't get why the penances are set up to be so
coordination dependent
there's no real achievement to them, it's just finding three people willing to spend the hour or so helping out
one ogryn with shield, some people willing to shoot a few elites without killing
problem solved
why is this a socialisation test ~_~
Lets make it worse
the reds dont match 
how very very terrible
that looks better
soo follow me on this Mk 3 Combat Blade + Recon Lasgun (torrent) feats 1-3-1-1-3-1. Since the game wants me to be a gun psyker so bad i gave this a go and it's actually working very effectively
do u have ammo problems
WHat dif
not really only using the gun to murder elites and quick burst to surpress
knife does most of the work
i got multiple transcendent knives from the emperor
dunno why
dude i'm a psyker why are you asking me to knife people
i've been using this
WTT 373 Deflector FS for 380 %80 Mob knife.
Damn son, got enough bleed?
Jeez why is sharex giving me such a hard time lol
Mine only has +1 bleed on crit.
This or bowl of shame tho
Will be glad when I can upgrade/change those
i think the emperor got confused about my class at some point
okay, the psyker-helmet-but-reject-rags look is fucking hilarious
Oh god
Its like they are wearing a dog cone
I love it
definitely the lead singer of a late 80s punk band
Anyone think the force sword is worth using?
Yes
Yes
yes
Yes
Why
deflect
That's fair I guess
Big damage, deflector blessing
alt kinda blows tho
No it doesnt
If you arent god at dodging the deflector is an actual blessing
Its gotta be used right
I mean chainsword doesn't take ammo out of my gun when I rev it
Big damage, deflector+peril block, ranged push, decent clear cuz ranged push
been running this trio of curios
i think i hate the flame staff

Chainsword charging doesnt increase damage of all other weapons either
Chainsword charge also does less damage I'm pretty sure
The purpose of the fs charge is simple, one shotting something big with a headshot
our goals are beyond your comprehension
3A, psychic communion is bugged ? i feel like on my kills alone i should have procced more charges than what is happening in most of my games
how very terrible
now you just look like a clown
You win. You are the warhammer 40k
I kneel
Not level 20 yet but a rager not dying to the force sword on malice feels kinda badge
Guess Ill get there eventually I suppose
Land a headshot
man i cant get one good force sword to save my life
And heavy
W curio
shame its not +3 stamina
hopefully when blessings come out I can switch out the HP
At level 20 the FS you got is likely tickling people on Malice.
Also feels really good to whiff a force sword
or for the game to just eat the charge for no reason and leave me with the peril
You cant judge it for real until you are 30 and you have at the very least a 325+ stat FS.
fair
@coarse basalt how you manage that, the thing has phantom range like a mf
Same goes for pretty much all weapons tbh
just a rager screaming past me to hit someone else
lighting staff has too many -'s to use sadly
Oh that thing is good for an upgrade
@coarse basalt yeah mines not much better
Yeaaah, you cannot make a judgement with that one
You can keep that for a bit
if u get hit before the final blow goes off you lose like 90% of your damage
but being level 30 isnt gonna stop the game from eating my charge
or having all 100%
This random one in the shop is 364 for example, notice the state distribution difference
ok
wtf ana thats a god tier roll
Can I have that one please
you just have those available in your shop all the time
Then we compare it to the one I actually use every now and then
@echo parrot man why yall getting good FS while im stuck with trash
h8 u
Salazar the Warp Witch
wait ... the auto BB does NOT give warp charges ?!
Fine, if you insist
@jaunty atlas its does
it does
Another one for the pile
man .. i'm doing it right row
It does on kill
that green one was seriously amazing
you can spam fs special @ 99% so warp resist means nothing
oops, wrong image, sorry
@echo parrot burn build?
What
is this staff worth getting? I know it's got a bad base rating, but how important is crit damage on surge staff? (I don't even know the crit rate)
Big thing for surge is the CC more than anything.
Its got great warp resistance and charge rate, so I would go for it if it is an upgrade
I love the surge staff
it's good
Wanna hate me even more?
oh ok, there is something that does a BB sound but it's not bb
it's a crit on a soulblaze ?
yeah, my shop has been a bitch, this is literally the second surge staff above 300 I've ever seen and I've been level 30 for 2 weeks now
soulblaze d oesn't crit
In the grim darkness that is the 21st millenium... there is only discord
lol bring it i love the surge staff
i don't get it, i see yellow numbers
that moment of stun is great
thats from the staff's primary dmg not the dot
the flamethrower is not considered as soulblaze ?
no only the stacking dot
it doesn't proc 6B ?
nope
damn
and than people show up with these and make me wonder.... is the emperor trying to make me die to use my corpse somehow?
thank you
the good news is that means you can utilize dmg as a dump stat on purge staves
another day no good purg
I haven't even seen a good staff yet.... much less specific staffs lol
I also got these kinda just sitting around.
that is very true. and i'm very salty
still pretty good tbh
ideal blessing, good burn stat
you'll find better sooner than later tho most likely
the problem is the range. i feel like i'm not doing my job
burn > cloud > crit perks/blessings > quell/warp > dmg on purge imo
370+ base stats with a t4 perk to lock in is the dream
i don't know if void staff is too good or the others are underwhelming
even got the proper dump stat
Unfortunately these are the highest purg/void staves I have
I really want a nice void roll
ur void isnt horrible
Naturally we will not discuss TRauma as it doesnt exist
id upgrade that
I like trauma
why does the surge staff look like a purg???
will be pretty happy w/ this when i can replace soulflame lol
i gave it to my ogryn. it's a hurty stick now
Whatβs yβall opinion on the chain sword
and upgrade other blessing
You can put any staff cosmetic on any kind of staff. I like the logboi-ness of the purg, so I put it on my surge.
o
poopy >:(
it rocks, like any chain sword, but ... have you heard about our beloved, the antax 5 ?
I've been wanting to try a trauma in damnation heresy
I mean no
i run trauma on damn often
"Get vote kicked in one simple trick! Sweats hate him!"
maybe you hsould give it a try
emperer drop w/ sprint instead of flak
I got a god rolled chain sword canβt decide if itβs just a worse power sword or not
Go on
chain sword special is better on unarmored, fs better on armored
fs is more flexible overall, however
damn thats nice
my Purg, I'm lovin it
it's a weapon that kills nearly anything in 3 simple clicks, can block for a longtime and the followup is dealdy, on all types, it's smooth, it fight right in the hand and if really someone do not want to die use the heavy overhead. works in every difficulty.
Damn that's even better than what I have
The 380 holy roll
roll crit & you set
Blessed
mk5 with brutal momentum is absolutely insane
Idk about my blessings and perks tho
Time for this rabbit to sleep
waitin for the blessing reroll to get warp nexus
ANOTHER 380 holy roll.
Double blessed.
YEAH ITS DELICIOUS
i have not seen a 380 either
Got it as a grey now it is yellow
they rare as shit

Anyways time for this rabbit to sleep
g'night!
380 isnt' that rare, it's just never the one you wanted
my closest has been 372
gnight
wtf
Mmmm yes headhunter autoguns
no they are definitely rare
it's not bad, but personally i do not play melee on a psyker. i want a weapon that supress anything that come close so i can voidstaff again. since FB is the purest crap except that deflector blessing and we do not have the fabled power sword ... antax 5 is the answer
i mean, do you have any other 380 tho?
Let me correct you, 380 on modifiers is rare not on overall power
No :(
i have 190 hrs my highest seen is 378
only those stupid guns that Iwill never use lol
Eh ok, I just donβt use the FS out of principle because it doesnβt look cool. Ima stick to chain sword because itβs kick ass
i use fs exactly because it looks cool
it really does, and ignoring mass permit big cleave
2h force weapon pls
if you see a fs with deflector, grab it & you'll understand - w/o that blessing they are fairly comparable with chain having edge in horde clear and fs having edge in elite killing
I donβt use it because having auto quell on melee is nice to
FS look psykery. peculiarly with that new shader with an unfortunate camo color
but that's all it has
also keep an eye out for mk v combat axe if you aren't aware of that beast yet
Iβve got a 360 one itβs pretty cool
(btw you can buy separate elements of a pack by pressing V then buy)
i mean.. i've only gotten one 380 so i'd say it's p rare
i got a 380 fs a while ago, but sadly, kinda bad stats spread π
warp res is good tho
Warp res is great
yeah
I dont know, I got plenty useless 380s that I would never use them, like guns and random melee ones
i envy you
I think your getting confused
That screenshot has 0 380βs in
no they are
is glory hunter good?
Seems alr
I like the slide reload on revolver personally
lol no they were grey, had some greens 380 too like those ones
but what use, I still using a 311 base DS
and no deflector FS either
Haha
379
π
Tbh tho that blue Cat is worth using
Those swords are actually really good for hoard clear
I wish there was a testing area
Meat Grinder?
like the firing range in vermintide 2
They are literally the same thing
you mean the meat grinder
I am not too worrying about the horde clear as I am using Purg staff, so I used a DS for mobility, ideally I should get a FS with deflector but havent seen one yet in my 250 hr play time
Fair
I use Perg Staff/Knife
Well I gotta learn about meat grinder
my concern is just ever finding a team to get the damn penances xD
what Knife? do we have Knives?
Daggers
catachan combat blade
oh that
emperor continues to think i'm a vet
Gun Psyker is a thing tbh
Not a good thing
But a thing
also tends to use recon anyway
love my revolver
Psyker is flexible af tbh. I feel like every weapon (except trauma) has a place.
trauma is good for mixed hordes
In higher levels same
Purge can be nice to you gotta be cracked with it tho
Iβd argue itβs the hardest staff to use
Purg??!
Fire
i really dislike playing surge
I don't see a problem with it
All I useβ¦
Once you learn the animation cancels it can be complicated
honestly I don't get this because unless elites are up you should be in melee anyway
antax, my beloved
they're always up in heresy tho
I still donβt know what Antax is tbh
trauma has its place
it's an ax
although it is not for ants
Oh boy is it time for me to whip out the trauma stan pasta
there is a dude here with a video of blowing a hound off the platform falling to its death
I've focused my build on cc and deflector to walk down gunners and suppress them so the team can clean up. Feels kinda badass but certainly isn't focused on killing
My normal playstyle is lightning then heavy swing with chain sword
Trauma: Epicentre 2.29m, blast radius 8.32m.
Rumbler: Epicentre 2.77m, blast radius 8.85m. Does way less damage than trauma
Frags: No listed stats but blast radius of "maybe 10 meters" eyeballed. Does even less damage than rumbler, and hugely so.
Voidstrike: Epicentre 1.32m, Blast radius 3.56m. It's tiny.
Voidstrike damage gets close to 500 and definitely breaks it with perks, but it basically needs near-direct hits.
what you havent blown off a beast of nurgle?
i think i saw some craziness like that happen once
im curious of the trauma can blow off elites off the ground
doubt i caused it
and mutants
It just blows mobs all over the place and teammates get surrounded
thats why you do it near a bridge so they fall off
that sounds like an act not even a devotee of slannesh would dare do
on account of the chaos gods hating each other, of course
I have no comments
Ima be honest fuck slugs
aim it responsibly and clean up your own trash, it's not like ou can chain cast trauma anyway so you pull out antax and mop up
Based
Dagger and Flamenwurther for me
mincharge trauma hard knockdowns crushers, it's absurd.
You need to charge it up to stagger bulwark from front but it hard staggers from behind
Become the budget Zealot
WHAT
The trauma staff's stagger damage is massive even against carapace armored opponents so you might nudge
Imma use this thing jesus christ
but i doubt youll send anything like a crusher flying
don't get too excited, surge also mincharge stuns everything lmao
^
But as the trauma stan, I will say it has very particular uses
kinda prefer void more now
table values are fucked
It's crazy stagger
they don't deal near that much damage
I played surge for like 8 games today, took 3 alleve and some whiskey, but I got thru it
Doesn't matter they're gonna be proportional
but the stagger feels... accurate, given you hard-stagger bulwarks with one full charge from the front
i want to use that bolter
I mean
Void = Damage
Purge = Damage/Stun
Surge = Stun
Force = so specific it doesnβt matter
void is pretty decent stun too
Man everyone has a grudge against another staff
Yeah it is
But surge and Purge do it a lot better
Meh
cant see shit with purge
purge slows you down for a long time too
Void you fire a ball it blows a hole in entire horde. Horde gets knocked down and you fire more and horde is gone
lightning you can stun, sprint and be done
purge staff users know all about flaming a horde then dying to a shotugnner they could see @ 20m
hows void good with damage, I am having so much trouble with it to kill elites/specials
YES
void good for horde but it takes like 3 shots to kill an elite
full charge e.e
or 2
depends on difficulty too
Itβs like a cannonball the void strike
Not a explosive
Itβs a penetration machine tho
Void = imagine thorwing a bowling ball and the mobs are pins
^^^^
yes, it's stupid to kill just a single gunner with 2, or maybe 3 full charge, might as well bb it

Thatβs what the ranger is for tbh
brain burst takes too long
by the tiem u charge that brain burst ill fire 3 voids

BB is just depressingly bad tbh
i dont even use BB anymore
not really
unless its a deamon or nurgle
bb still has its use, especially with bomber, trapper, sniper that tend to hit and run
I just fire void shot to down and hit him with FS
Only time I use it is on snipers and bosses
Is bb better than a full channel of purge
BB also has a high stagger, so using it on crusher/mauler stops them entirely.
No lol
you could've missed the shot and watched them fleed away like a rocket lol
it has aoe
so if it hits nearby it will hit

not on anything except crushers, bulwarks (from the front). *almost universally purge does more damage with a full secondary, by a lot
i thought purg does decent damage to bosses
and i fire 2 in succession so it will have to dodge both
purge can 1-shot bulwarks on damnation with 1 crit in the secondary, almost 1-shots reapers
is there a google doc or something somewhere that tells us the stat priority of each weapon?
yea but during horde, still I prefer use bb, too risky to chase those down
i cry
I just blow past the horde
this one worth upgrading?
FFS block downing to move past and F in middle to down everyone and then run past entire horde to kill that sniper

feel like thats something an Ogryn would do lol
Thereβs no hair nets at work does this mean I can go home and purge heretics
walcome to psyker jack of all trades

flex & clutch are what psyker does best rn
i can grab a gun and shoot like a marksman. Grab a melee weapon fight like a zealot, CC like a psyker, and then tank like an ogryn

i wish melk would offer me somethin worth buying here and there
I think I bought wrong staff (I realise that you can put other staff skin in it)
i want to
make a gun class soon
tho
but i hate marksman
wish they let pskyer use bolter
makes me mad
pretend ur void is a railgun
Flame Surge Staff feel kinda wrong
looks like spider web shooting out l
like spiderman
looks like theres a raging fire 10m away and you're just gesturing at it like "look at this shit"
Oh i goofed, I meant on bosses but yeah
@white cedar essence harvest, like the emperor intended
i think they changed vfx
on a scale of 1-10 how scuffed is the vfx on surge
what the hell why is your staff a surge staff but your using purgatus flame spew π
staff skin is shared
funky
I just happen to know 10 minute ago π
why do people want deflection on force sword specifically?
some moment when you have to charge to it but it still shooting
there's a nice synergy with the kinetic deflection feat, you can tank ranged shots and it just gives you peril
its only on force sword tmk and it lets you block bullets and stuff
