psyker-class

[worthy halo]

then you'd have a problem with your teammates killing your thrall 😂

[shut thorn]

Its beneficial on trauma, meh on anything else

[near wyvern]

Trauma gave me a trauma

[pure lion]

Dominate a poxburster and run it into a group of enemies lol

[shut thorn]

trauma has really high utility, it's just so fucking clunky to use

[near wyvern]

Dominate a hound and that bitch will never die

[simple junco]

Dominate a trapper and have it stand really close to your veteran

[pure lion]

Who needs an Ogryn on your strike team when you can just dominate a Bulwark minion

[simple junco]

If your thrall scales with difficulty, I can't imagine anyone would dominate anything that isn't either a crusher or bulwark.

[near wyvern]

You don't need to dominate them. If you stand on stairs some of them are friendly and just chill there with you.

[toxic temple]

Have they fixed the surge FX

[near wyvern]

#📢news-bulletin

Keep on eye on that

No word no fix

[shut thorn]

haha

[toxic temple]

Thanks

[shut thorn]

why would they fix it :)

someone spent several hours finetuning the effect

🙃

In a brightly lit test map

[tight niche]

how does kinetic flayer interact with purgatus staff?

[shut thorn]

normally?

[glad tulip]

as usual

[olive ember]

Hello fellow Deflector FS users

[shut thorn]

I finally got a good one after 300 hrs

[olive ember]

since the surge staff VFX nerf I've swapped over to being a FS main

[shut thorn]

[pure lion]

Is the 15sec cooldown on Kinetic Flayer global, or per target?

[shut thorn]

global

or well

[glad tulip]

global, imagine per target LOL

[shut thorn]

ur char

[pure lion]

Boo that sucks

[olive ember]

global, you use it to keep up warp charges not for the damage kek

[tight niche]

ah

[glad tulip]

but occasional oneshot on specials is nice

[olive ember]

^^ killing two ragers in one swing is funny

[stark snow]

it is nice when it procs on the rager or mauler walking through fire

[glad tulip]

you walk up to a special, kick him in the balls so hard his head pops

[shut thorn]

ok but what about trapper

[glad tulip]

instructions unclear, boot stuck in "cavity"

[stark snow]

im usually pulling out my sword once I get hit focused channeling or not tbh

[vital bough]

I think Kinetic Flayer is good for people that don't want to take Psychic Communion or Ascending Blaze, but still want an alternative source of Warp Charges

[glad tulip]

i use both KF and PC, ascending blaze just doesn't cut it sometimes on public

[lyric hatch]

its been a full day and still not a decent FS has shown up in shop

[glad tulip]

like - you wanna deal with the horde, but then some other cock just blasts all of his nades and abilities on a horde, you can't stack your charges on anything other than manually BB'ing, specials come, you get fucked, because other people have no shit to deal with actual specials that come swarming during horde

[shut thorn]

The solution: only play with psykers

[river crest]

probably going to take longer than a day 👀

[glad tulip]

i've recently had some 50/50 on damnation with randoms on public

[lyric hatch]

@river crest facts

[shut thorn]

Haha it took me some 300 hours to get my second and third deflector (today)

Enjoy

[vital bough]

Using just Psychic Communion and Ascendant Blaze gives me plenty of Warp Charges with just those two feats, so I personally like opting for Kinetic Overload. It can really help with those exact situations where there's specials surrounding you while you handle the hordes.

Some interesting stats for Kinetic Overload:
4 stacks = 21
8 stacks = 76
12 stacks = 153
16 stacks = 240
20 stacks = 326
(This could possibly stack higher but I can't test in the meatgrinder as everything dies before I can proc it more than 5 times)

It's also very friendly and always targets the closest elite/specialist to you within somewhere close to 25/30m.

[glad tulip]

some teams are so great, they barely get downed or require aid. nobody loses health much, deal with specials and hordes efficiently and AI director isn't shit

[lyric hatch]

@shut thorn i just want one that isnt sub 70% dmg

[glad tulip]

but then again, i sometimes get lerooy jenkinses in the team that just rush it like maniacs, get fucked and complain

[shut thorn]

Also I'm surprised you're getting any teams on damnation

It's been a ghost town for me for the past few days

[glad tulip]

cleared 3 damnations with publics

separate missions, not overall

been hunting other damnations, but those are hard to come by without any modifiers

[dense cloud]

whats teh beslsing web site agin ?

[shut thorn]

Lucky though ig what might be screwing me over is how russians only play malice since it's optimal for mats

[glad tulip]

whenever i play i try to collect every material and open any box for a chance of supplies or crates with ammo/medbox

a lot of people just don't give a damn about those

[hard stratus]

yo have people been dodging your lobbies lately?

[glad tulip]

YES

[hard stratus]

as soon as i load in as a psyker someone or everyone leaves

[shut thorn]

Nah even if you pick up eveerything in both difficulties, malice is always faster for mats

[hard stratus]

tf is with that

[glad tulip]

better to have that spare medkit on you on damnation, believe me

[shut thorn]

read vet chat and you'll understand why

[shut thorn]

what does medkit have to do with grinding for plasteel and diamantite

[glad tulip]

i've had so many situations when i found ammo or grenades as psyker and had people beelining back 50m just to get it

[grave bobcat]

I was asking the same thing lol

[glad tulip]

when you go around looking for supplies, that shit comes naturally

[magic burrow]

for some reason Vet chat rarely seems to discuss Darktide at all

[hard stratus]

wdym?

[glad tulip]

you're from europe then if russians come swarming?

[shut thorn]

a lot of vets dodge games if they see a psyker due to all the low level psykers intentionally blowing themselves up for the stupid penance

[glad tulip]

i've never done that, never will

[grave bobcat]

That's pretty funny ngl

[hard stratus]

the going out with a bang thing?

[near wyvern]

The hardest one is pick n mix

[grave bobcat]

"Ugh, another suicidal idiot"

[near wyvern]

Cause you really need the whole team on that.

[shut thorn]

I wouldn't call it europe considering I am only 70km from russia, the issue is no one in my region plays damnation, its literally empty recently ever since they discovered theres no point playing damnation, the only people playing heresy are doing penances

[frank moat]

Got both of those randomly, super lucky

[livid rampart]

I'll just wait until I eventually have to solo one anyway

[grave bobcat]

Real 😦

[frank moat]

Don’t see myself lucking into Malleus Monstronum though

[robust meteor]

the only one i didnt pug was mm. PnM and bang took 3 days lol

[glad tulip]

met one psyker doing penance to solo a monstrosity with BB

[shut thorn]

pocket ogryn

[near wyvern]

Or a psyker with non-force melee and kinetic deflection

Both work

[frank moat]

Finding someone willing to help is the hard part

[near wyvern]

Also beast of nurgle with a ladder is easy

[frank moat]

Ooh

[near wyvern]

If you can just convince the three others to leave you together

[glad tulip]

needless to say, we were doing lights off modifier and first DH we had to do - he didn't get the achievement, then he wanted to try it again with another DH that spawned, i was against it, zealot wasn't really talking but it was clear he was against it, ogryn tanked with slab, they got overrun with elites and everyone died because he wanted to clear that penance and that DH spawned like a room before the end-horde for extraction

[shut thorn]

best map for it is the one where you start on a bridge then hop down into a tunnel thing, one of the assassination ones

[glad tulip]

then he proceeded to blame zealot for focusing boss instead of horde, which from my perspective (i was already dead before it began) he was dealing with elites, horde, then after that trying to kill the boss

eventually everyone died anyway, even tho zealot carried that shit so hard

[simple junco]

Dang, I'm having more consistent wins on T5 than T4

[clear heath]

T5 teammates are probably just better

[glad tulip]

ah, the prison one

[near wyvern]

That's because all the penance nerds are at T4.

This message was sponsored by the Goggles gang.

[clear heath]

I think my recent winrate with t3 is lower than my recent runs with t5
I actually just fully shut off my brain on t3

My friend asks me to do a malice run with him and i make it my goal to have no coherency buff for 90% of the run

[keen belfry]

t3 the worst

[high agate]

T4 feels harder because your team runs around doing fuck all and you're constantly overwhelmed. T5 (usually) fells better because people are actually competent killers

[clear heath]

T5 with extra hounds is a good way to force teammates to stay close

[near wyvern]

Probably this. 90% of the people who play damnation are there because they are good at it.

The rest are people who just want to give it a go and play the game like they do on malice and below. They don't change and give up easily on damnation.

[clear heath]

Everyone's too scared to leave

[glad tulip]

you'd be surprised, that this is not the case at all

[clear heath]

Idk i've won my last few extra hounds runs

Maybe i got lucky with teammates

[glad tulip]

just lucky teammates

[clear heath]

but it felt like every time we heard the hound noises, the entire team would make an effort to huddle up in a group

cause no one want to be alone with 2 dogs

[glad tulip]

most often than not you're dealing with people that run off and be like "i know how to deal with hounds solo", but then again... how do you deal with jank solo?

those puppers are as unpredictable as it can be

[clear heath]

Yeah i hate dogs

[glad tulip]

it just can stand still or run at full speed, slow down to a walk and still pounce you

[harsh cobalt]

so, what do people get on curios on psyker. I'm stacking health rn, but it feels like that ain't it. Base toughness feels quite low for it to be worth stacking that. Almost want to put stam, I don't know

[glad tulip]

or it can pounce from like 5 meters away sideways

[clear heath]

I've seen dogs just spin around in mid air

sometimes they also try to jump up stairs and go into space

[grave bobcat]

Changes per person. I only stack toughness tough 🙂

[clear heath]

I do toughness as well

[lethal rain]

Toughness and block efficiency is what I do

[harsh cobalt]

I will try toughness. I get toughness on vet, but vet has massive base toughness so any bonuses are essentially doubled

[clear heath]

It just feels much more valuable than hp considering how often it comes back. Psyker especially regens it easily

[stark snow]

has anyone actually tested warp flurry?

[lethal rain]

Health when doing grims

[grave bobcat]

Yeah can only get it working on VOidstrike and in a dumb way that you wouldn't do in game lol

[clear heath]

yeah that's just vet toughness being stupid. Everyone else has 100 base toughness, even ogryns

[stark snow]

I'm looking at some video, and I think either purg has a minimum full charge time, or it doesn't work as expected

the base cast time appears to be 1.6ish sec

and chains only bring it down to 1.5 it seems

[grave bobcat]

Read reply 😠

[stark snow]

ty 🙂

so is it just broken to not work at all on other staves cal?

[grave bobcat]

I can't get it working on any of the others

Not in the same way the voidstrike one works

[vital bough]

Dude this may sound crazy but did you prowl the Hunt: Showdown disc a couple years ago?

[stark snow]

I LOVE BRICKED BLESSINGS

[pulsar rampart]

Anyone else experiencing a strange delay on quelling, when you have just headpopped to 100% peril? Every third or fourth time I get a 2-3 second delay before it registers my quelling. Does not seem to happen with weapons.

[harsh cobalt]

prowling it right now, I dwell in off-topic

[clear heath]

I've heard that was a recent bug

[grave bobcat]

If you hold right click and fire off 5 instantly, the 6th one will use Warp Flurry and charge to like 50% instantly

Only time I have ever seen it working

[vital bough]

Lol I got banned from the disc for posting monkey gifs, perma ban, in off-topic and saying "It's monkey hours"

[clear heath]

I think the devs have acknowledged the psyker issues already

[pulsar rampart]

It sucks such massive Nurgle sacks.

[grave bobcat]

Other than that, Surge/Purge have the firing delay that stops them "chaining"

[clear heath]

I haven't experienced it myself because i stopped playing psyker the moment surge staff started trying to blind me

[grave bobcat]

And Trauma just doesn't woprk at all

[harsh cobalt]

well...I wouldn't say it's totally unjustified lol

[pulsar rampart]

Lol yeah, time to take a break and start leveling vet I guess 🙂

[vital bough]

Yeah I just feel like out of all the things they ban me for, posting a silly monkey in some clothes and saying 'It's monkey hours 😎 " in off-topic is one of the lighter offences lol

But oh well 🤷‍♂️ lol

[patent hatch]

Bruh

But its monkey hours

[grave bobcat]

👀

[vital bough]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gangster-monkey-monk-monke-shaptic-gif-21239890

Yeah I posted this

[patent hatch]

[vital bough]

And said "It's monkey hours 😎"

instant ban

lol

[patent hatch]

I am intriguie

fuuck me hello dyslexia

[grave bobcat]

Hi

[vital bough]

Hello Intriguie

[patent hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/dyslexia-cure-gif-7928877

[river crest]

originally did health, but the more I play on higher difficulties the more I feel toughness is more valuable, even as a non-vet. Shooters are a bigger problem in most cases, and you get more mileage out of Toughness since it regenerates. Right now I've got +1 wound, +25% health (21 + 4), +25% toughness (16 + 4, and + 5 on a second), with total of 35% DR against Gunners and 30% DR against Snipers. Might get more Toughness later, but I like having at least some extra HP.

[patent hatch]

Anyone want to do 4 Psyker damnation

We have 4 staffs

So ya know

[high agate]

Plus +20% health isnt gonna do fuck all if you get caught out anyway. A regular gunner 3-burst will drop you from like 100hp to 20

[river crest]

yeah

[grave bobcat]

What if I don't have a staff

[patent hatch]

idk buget veterean

[grave bobcat]

lmao

I've just been doing melee only Psyker to keep things interesting 🥲

[patent hatch]

honestly

ive done it

its fun

[teal needle]

Gunker is pretty viable. It's obviously not optimal but it works. Not really my jam though

[simple junco]

I can see why gunker exists

But yeah, diet veteran

[patent hatch]

i just like Knife flame thrower

its budget Zealot

but focused on flamer instead of knife

[grave bobcat]

Knife is so good ❤️

[patent hatch]

ikrr

[vestal finch]

Independent fact checkers have proven this to be FALSE

[simple junco]

Knife is great

[vestal finch]

The only reliable build is Surge staff + Lightsaber

[simple junco]

Is this bait

[patent hatch]

bruh

[vestal finch]

Tell me you only play Malice without telling me you only play Malice

[simple junco]

T5

[vestal finch]

Is this bait

[grave bobcat]

lmao

[teal needle]

Knife rules. I'm a certified knife pervert on my vet

[patent hatch]

psyker knife best knife

[simple junco]

Psyker knife really enables your mobility

[patent hatch]

^^^

[jovial frigate]

mk5 axes too comfy tho

[vestal finch]

Wait, they didn't patch it for the knife?

Can you still zoom?

[patent hatch]

yeahg

[jovial frigate]

ofc

[patent hatch]

thats the poiont of thge knife

[vestal finch]

I'm pretty sure they ruined the dueling sword

[patent hatch]

...?

what are you on

[grave bobcat]

They fixed for all Box 🙂

They're talking about the general mobility from knife 😛

[vestal finch]

:(

[grave bobcat]

ik

[vestal finch]

RUINED

Never playing psyker AGAIN

[teal needle]

I enjoy knife so much on vet I probably will switch to knife on psyker

[vestal finch]

I will not be a budget fanatic

I'm gonna be a real fanatic

[leaden pier]

is it me or does the fs only get 1 bar of stamina from curios

[stark snow]

2 and 3 stam curios only give 1 stam

[vestal finch]

As soon as I get my PC back, I'm levelling preacher.

[stark snow]

if you equip 3 +2 stam curios you get 3 stam bars, if you equip 2 +3 curios, you get 2 stam bars 😦

someone said each stam is only 1/2 a bar, but that's not consistent with how stam is labeled on weapons

[leaden pier]

wuh

[shut thorn]

Box, i had to use knife and surge to optimally grind

Its miserable

[edgy heart]

Excuse me sir, this is a psyker channel

No zealot here

[shut thorn]

Knife is on psyker

Surge is psyker only

[grave bobcat]

🥲

[patent hatch]

as a traumua staff user

I win

[leaden pier]

win what

the emperor's star?

[patent hatch]

yes

works with me

[shut thorn]

As a cowboy loadout user, i win

[remote tusk]

A ride on the special bus to each mission

[stark snow]

I wonder if I should just get a gun with crucian rulette and do melee only with autocrit

might be fun at least

[shut thorn]

Prob

[grave bobcat]

We Diet Zealot now?

[shut thorn]

Ye

Unironically

[covert cosmos]

im a trauma staff enjoyer now, cant believe i doubted

[shut thorn]

Btw calcium

Psyker gonna get paladin spec

[remote tusk]

What do you pair trauma with? Fs?

[shut thorn]

We win in the end

[grave bobcat]

I SAID THIS

[covert cosmos]

i like devil's claw for the horde clear

[shut thorn]

Antax mk v

[river sand]

trauma with max rolls and some practice is indeed not as bad as people say and oddly satisfying if you land a good hit

[leaden pier]

should i keep the 12% block, or try to roll for good toughness regen?

[hushed glade]

What blessings on mk5?

[remote tusk]

Block is great

[patent hatch]

Decimator

[summer prairie]

roll for gunner resistance

[leaden pier]

im thinking of keeping block since im running deflector fs & peril blocking

[remote tusk]

The cleave blessing. Brutal momentum

[patent hatch]

ye ye

[leaden pier]

i assume so

since you are blocking

[summer prairie]

toughness regen only cuts down the time it takes to passively start regenerating after taking damage. If you are being shot at that regen isn't going to save you

[remote tusk]

Someone posted a test on this a few days back which seemed to confirm it

[leaden pier]

does it speed up that one lvl 5 feat where you regen 30% on warp charge tho?

[summer prairie]

almost certainly not

[leaden pier]

ah ok

[patent hatch]

no why would it do that

[leaden pier]

that wouldve been neat tho

[leaden pier]

it say toughness regen speed

[remote tusk]

Toughness regen on perils loss is so good the other level 5s kind of seem redundant in comparison

[amber nest]

Voidstrike staff with the middle choice

[leaden pier]

surge on last one

since it's not likely you're killing with it

at least on higher difficulties

[viscid cloak]

i dont use staff, so the 30% on warp charge is nice plus the 4% chsnce to gain any on kill

[amber nest]

So yeah, all 3 toughness regen feats work for different builds

[leaden pier]

i find myself gaining warpcharges from ally kills even if they're not in coherency

[grave bobcat]

I use the 30% on warp charge for my melee only Psyker

but otherwise, the 10% on warp kill

[remote tusk]

To each their own I guess

[grave bobcat]

Pretty much

[amber nest]

For real though, aim a Voidstrike at head height into a horde with the middle feat active

I too like Quietitude, but the numbers don't lie

[remote tusk]

I usually play axe/surge on damnation, but am toying with other setups to get some variety

[summer prairie]

the middle one absolutely gives most toughness but not necessarily when you actually need it

[simple junco]

I've met some really good surge users on T5, but some really bad ones on T4 lol

[viscid cloak]

playing around with knife and Heavy lazpistol, tried some Headhunter autogun and the semi-auto lazguns too, but so far i liked heavy laz pistol most due to the extra movement matching my knife, though my only problem with it is the goddann aimsway on every laz gun

[remote tusk]

It's the melee mix that does it for me. Constant gain and loss of perils from staff and blockattacking meaning constant toughness regen

But I can see the voidstrike argument

[amber nest]

Yeah, I use Quietitude when playing Purgatus

[velvet spear]

a gift from the emperor, what do we think siblings?

[simple junco]

Pretty good for the fact it has Deflector on it

[vast oyster]

Id say reroll the sprint efficiency

[velvet spear]

yeah I'm about to

almost 100 hours of play, first deflector perk i've seen

or blessing rather

[vast oyster]

Still yet to see one

[amber nest]

I'll play with it if I find one, but I prefer the Duelling Swords

[velvet spear]

just traded sprint efficiency for 8% damage to elites, the emperor smiles today

[amber nest]

Passive quell on non Force Swords is just too good

[edgy heart]

Dueling saber my beloved

[viscid cloak]

Britain knife my b'loved

[edgy heart]

[remote tusk]

Which mark do you recommend?

[amber nest]

Eh, honestly don't know which one I have right now

[viscid cloak]

also is just visualing appealing my psyker just playing around with the knife when equipping and transitioning to idle animation

[simple junco]

It really does have a personable animation

(plus the jab is hilariously fast)

[remote tusk]

Knife mobility is addictive

[simple junco]

It's too good. You just end up missing it when it's gone

Force knife when

[amber nest]

Force Greatsword

[torn dawn]

Am I dumb, did I miss a change to the Flame staff.

I used to be able to sit at 100% Perils basically forever and just tap R when the charge metre got low.

Not it won't let me do that once I get to 100%.

[bleak sonnet]

i would miss knife if it did more dmg

killing shit so slow sux

[simple junco]

It's best coupled with the purg/trauma staff tbh

Something that lets you kill things over there a bit faster

[bleak sonnet]

i do like knife with gun psyker

[vast oyster]

I got lucky and found one that has extra crit chance with the alt attack

[velvet spear]

and of course the market has this now -- is it worth getting if dmg is lower but warp resist and finesse are higher?

[bleak sonnet]

i would never ever run knife with a staff personally tho

too low dmg loadout

for my tastes

[bleak sonnet]

get it if only just to disenchant it later

for blessing

[velvet spear]

yeah i bought it, was just wondering if it was worth trying to upgrade

[bleak sonnet]

nah i wouldnt

[velvet spear]

it's raining deflectors

[bleak sonnet]

you really gain nothing from upgrading a FS imo

the blessings are all kinda meh

[viscid cloak]

im facing issues when it comes to huge hordes of infected and small hordes of flak armor melee units

for flak i can just alt and then light attack, but for infected i cant even hold myself for too long

[bleak sonnet]

aside from that one

[velvet spear]

word -- cheers for the advice

[bleak sonnet]

np

[grave bobcat]

Ay I like Slaughterer

[bleak sonnet]

i like em too

but theyre not gamechanging

[grave bobcat]

Not many are tbf

[remote tusk]

Have you been introduced to our lord and saviour the mk5 axe?

[viscid cloak]

used it a few times, its efficient, but too slow to my taste

[proper stag]

force sword suicide charges are the only go to

[remote tusk]

Block attack is a very fast sweeping attack. Makes hordes like you describe a cakewalk. Hard thing to give up when you get used to it

[viscid cloak]

oh,my heavy lazpistol has a push alt attack that can buy me some space, but not something i rely on

[proper stag]

have you completed malleus monstronum yet?

[remote tusk]

Might get nerfed at some point tbh. The speed/safety/damage combo is a bit busted

[bleak sonnet]

i prefer FS to axe rn

axe was really nice until i learned to space better

then it kinda became redundant compared to FS special / deflector in t5

[remote tusk]

We have different experiences then, which is a good thing

[viscid cloak]

bit of a question, anyone knows how the characthers hold a heavylaz pistol in third person?, i swear i saw the bots using both hands

[proper stag]

from what i remember seeing it was a single handed

[viscid cloak]

Nice, the aesthetic pleases me

[stark snow]

you just gotta go full auto with the laspistol 🙂

[viscid cloak]

if my current laz pistol had any accuracy and stability, sure, but havent found one in the store, yet im getting lots of staves

the irony

[stark snow]

oh I was talking about this

actually that just gave me a great idea

I wonder if weapon swapping resets the timing on the force push from the pistol

[viscid cloak]

WHA THE FUCK

[grave bobcat]

Someone else found it 🥲

Its so ridiculous lol

[stark snow]

I postd it hr a whil ago

[patent hatch]

My current traumua staff build

I will make it work

[cold elm]

Eww trauma staff

[patent hatch]

wait that should be mind in motion

Nah I mean this

Gotta quell quell

[grave bobcat]

Isn't peril resistance with trauma pointless?

[patent hatch]

idk

It just builds so much

peril

I want peril resistance

lol

[grave bobcat]

Even with 4 charges you'd still only be able to fire it twice?

I can't remember, don't use the trauma

[patent hatch]

no

B(

I will use traumu

[grave bobcat]

I don't use the trauma.

[patent hatch]

oh

[grave bobcat]

You can do whatever you want lol

[patent hatch]

no one does tbh

just trying to make this shit work

to spam it

its bad but satisfying

[grave bobcat]

Nvm can fire it 3 times granted max charges

[ebon jolt]

Look at these sweet stats.

[grave bobcat]

Nice dmg

[fast swan]

Fav brain burst build?

/warp charge build

[cold oasis]

if you just want to spam BB anything works

for just warp charges generation is purge (due to the second level 30 talent)

[remote tusk]

Brainburst is a undertuned, but situatuonally useful skill that we all have access to. It's not something to design a build around imo

[rocky sleet]

anyone got tips on the penances ?

[near wyvern]

122133

Pair with surge or IV/XII lasgun and a melee of your choice

[near wyvern]

You need 3 friends

[burnt fjord]

technically just one friend if you can manage to get the bots killed and also survive without the bots

[proper stag]

i am thoroughly pissed now

the game just crashed right at the end of the mission

i popped a dog as it pounced and the game said not today b!tch

[shut thorn]

Lol

[grizzled fulcrum]

which one?

[proper stag]

all of the above

they all suck

especially not even close and malleus monstrorum

[patent hatch]

some of them are easy af lol

[grizzled fulcrum]

not even close isnt that bad

[patent hatch]

and not even close is ez

[grizzled fulcrum]

with the modifier for hounds

i got it on that mod somehow

[simple junco]

Finally got a decent crit purge staff and absolutely loved in T5, wow. I didn't know what I was missing out on.

[grizzled fulcrum]

but malleus monstrorum yea that is just annoying as hell

[patent hatch]

i dont have a decent crit purge :(

gotta get me a good base

[simple dove]

flame staff feels really good this patch

[simple junco]

My base is terrible and I'm missing one perk tbh

Warp Nexus + crit perk = usable

[patent hatch]

I mean this is alr

[simple junco]

Tbh that's a better base than mine

[patent hatch]

Idk i think its a bit shit

[nimble needle]

Man after playing voidstrike a bunch, I recently started using purgatus and it's so much easier.

[simple junco]

this is hot garbo. Only using it because it has the right perks

[patent hatch]

the damage is so low :(

but the burn is nice

[simple junco]

I knowwww

When it does crit, everything dies

[patent hatch]

i JUST NEED 600 MORE PLASTEEEL

cause fuck the mats drop systyem

[simple junco]

Zealot loot goblin mode

(tbh all pickups should be shared but idk)

[patent hatch]

they aren't

the fuck

[simple junco]

Unless something changed recently, you get a flat amount per completion + the pickups you get

[patent hatch]

💀

[nimble needle]

Is this misinformation?

[wise pecan]

I’m pretty sure they are all shared

[grave bobcat]

They are

[simple junco]

Are they? my bad then

[grave bobcat]

Np, if anything keep loot whoring lol

Benefits us all 🥲

[wise pecan]

For not even close, take advantage of bb right click to time the burst properly. And do not do it on heresy.

For malleus, get 3 friends

[red basin]

i think crafting mats werent shared in closed beta but they are 100% shared now

[surreal lake]

they are shared

nothing changed recently, it has been like this the whole game

[wise pecan]

Actually, fatshark has said they’re shared, but has anyone actually tested it? Like, asked a bud how many crafting mats they got at the end of a mission?

[surreal lake]

everyone gets the same amount at the end of each mission

[grave bobcat]

I have

[wise pecan]

Ah alrighty

[grave bobcat]

the dude called purple in here is the one I checked with 😛

For confirmation lol

[cerulean beacon]

How you guys farming for mats? Ive been running Heresy all day but I actually have more Diamantine than plasteel and its a detriment lol

[surreal lake]

like this

[simple junco]

Ooooh nice, okay glad that's cleared up lol

100% thought it was still like it was in the beta

[sleek loom]

hey guys, on the purgatus, do we want to mostly use the secondary or is there an reason to spam primary outside of the stagger?

[covert mason]

I've done a few Heresy/Damnation runs and only really got a lot of Diamantine. Plasteel evaded me too

[burnt fjord]

"Max plasteel and diamantine you can get per difficulty" exact numbers aren't perfect but the plasteel:diamantine ratio goes way down at higher difficulties
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zkvxk6/max_plasteel_and_diamantine_you_can_get_per/

so you may be better off running lower difficulty faster if you specifically want plasteel

[cerulean beacon]

By the Emperor, this is fantastic!

[simple junco]

Double tap left click to make space, then charge up a right click

[sleek loom]

left click only stacks soulblaze once, right?

[simple junco]

Ye, unless it's a crit

[sleek loom]

i thought purgatus cant crit?

[simple junco]

Otherwise, yeah. Prioritize right clicking

Crits on a pergatus apply an extra stack of soulblaze

[burnt fjord]

purg cant weakspot (afaik) but it can certainly crit

[sleek loom]

so the crit blessing is actually usable?

[burnt fjord]

it's preferred

[sleek loom]

good to know, thanks guys!

[tawny lagoon]

worth the pick up and upgrade?

[acoustic scaffold]

Thinking about making a psyker
Male or female loner?
I think the loner is the sassy one, yes?

[keen belfry]

no

[tawny lagoon]

what stats do i want the high rolls in?

[keen belfry]

take a look on the right on modifiers i would not waste my time with anything below 350

[tawny lagoon]

sweet thanks for the info ❤️

[grave bobcat]

Didn't know this so that's useful to know 😄

Need to use the purge staff more

[simple junco]

tbh purg is great. started bringing it to damnation and it really does remove an entire wipe condition

[true torrent]

Void is just so meaty sounding though. Have a hard time enjoying purg even with a better staff

[grave bobcat]

I think I've used it like 2-3 times

Just didn't like it

[simple junco]

It's not for everyone tbh. It's like Surge or Trauma

[river sand]

trauma is actually pretty good if you get used to the aiming

[grave bobcat]

Mhm, just while I've been playing with different builds I've been neglecting the Purge 😛

[wicked marsh]

Are any blessings more rare then any or is it all just random, like is deflector any more rare then the other blessings or am i just unlucky. also are there any blessings that more more likely to appear as the second blessing added?

[grave bobcat]

Some blessings are rarer than others yeah

Deflector being pretty rare

[cedar oak]

i believe this surge is pretty rare

[river sand]

yeah have only one with surge, and thats a shitty 50% damage roll

[supple skiff]

never seen surge period

this itemization lol

[wicked marsh]

holy tits

surge

[river sand]

really looking forward to blessing switch craftin thingy. crit + crit on peril + surge voidstrike will be fun

[wicked marsh]

never seen that

[supple skiff]

another shop reset

[grave bobcat]

Is surge double RMB? or LMB

[river sand]

both

[cedar oak]

yeah both

[grave bobcat]

ah neat

[supple skiff]

does it surge according to the charge level then?

slaughterer on a fs with %59 dmg roll

[wicked marsh]

you mean lie, does it send out a second shot the same strenthg as the one that crit?

well before crit is applied?

[pure lion]

This is what I have, for comparison

Warp Flurry is really good with Purg, noticeably faster charge of secondary attack when you’re spamming it against hordes

[grave bobcat]

🥲

[wicked marsh]

yea its super fun

[cedar oak]

yeah it works like this

[simple junco]

That staff is pretty good, just swap in a %crit perk and it's great

[grave bobcat]

I think this is the lowest roll on a stat I've seen so far lol

[high agate]

got dam

Do 102 damage instead of 100 lmao

thx for the crit

[shut thorn]

Run malice for equal distribution, run sedition to burn out but also make bank w/ mats

Also combat blade and surge staff

I wouldn't recommend grinding for mats though

[restive tapir]

it feels weird that on heresy and above most enemies get melted by a Veteran just as fast as on malice or lower but Psyker has to use like 3 brainbursts on a single special. which is like 12+ seconds of charge time. makes me really happy that i enjoy the class the most

[shut thorn]

I can't play more than like 2 missions every few hr cuz I'm so sick of this game

Grinding mats makes u realize this game kinda fucking sucks

[restive tapir]

yeah

[shut thorn]

Yes but psyker can do something no other class can, hold w through a horde unharmed

[frank moat]

Fingers crossed they let us buy mats in exchange for Aquilas

:^)

[shut thorn]

ew no

ordo dockets

[restive tapir]

Zealot with flamer and Veteran with power sword

[shut thorn]

they die to sniper

they die to reaper
gunner
ranged spawns

[restive tapir]

that's a skill issue

[shut thorn]

Actually power sword can roll deflector

I think

[restive tapir]

i'm pretty sure it's force sword exclusive

if it's on the fucking power sword i am hanging myself

[shut thorn]

I might be confusing w an earlier beta

[warped perch]

I would love for a fucking voidstrike staff to appear just once -_-

[restive tapir]

like i am so tired of Veteran doing everyone's job better than them like that class is so boring

[warped perch]

I need to update mine

[restive tapir]

same but with purgatus

it's just autoguns and axes

[warped perch]

Voidstrike is my fave

[shut thorn]

ehh

i will say

[cedar oak]

idk i feel like veteran sucks but its because all the vets i see ingame are total bots

[shut thorn]

playing psyker gives me far more confidence than other classes

except maybe zealot

but that's because zealot has invinicibility on a timer

[restive tapir]

Voidstrike is fun as fuck but i don't have a build around it. I feel like the Purgatus staff is easier to build feats around

[warped perch]

I feel like psykers can rip through hordes way better than vet can

[orchid nacelle]

zealot with flamer

the defence rests

[shut thorn]

Also having used combat blade for an unhealthy amt of time

Honestly?

[restive tapir]

i mean yeah the feeling of playing Psyker is great but then you try to brainburst a special and it takes you 12 seconds to kill it meanwhile veteran can one tap it and has the fucking powersword

[shut thorn]

Might be better than antax

[shut thorn]

I don't use brainburst, rarely ever to just get snipers/bombers

If I can't reach w/ void

[restive tapir]

yeah

that's all it's good for

above malice it's useless for anything else

[shut thorn]

It's funny how some random objects stop void but everything else goes through

Very cool

[cedar oak]

speaking of voidstrikes is this trash because of the blast radius?

[orchid nacelle]

i switch to BB at least once every 15 seconds to pop a random poxwalker and upkeep my stacks

[shut thorn]

no its good

[cedar oak]

i only run purgatus

[orchid nacelle]

there's like no reason not to

[shut thorn]

blast radius is pointless on void

[restive tapir]

i use the purgatus flame build so my stacks upkeep themselves

[orchid nacelle]

i used to do that but it didn't feel reliable enough

[restive tapir]

i just swap to BB every now and again because the sound is satisfying

[orchid nacelle]

i trust myself to maintain my stacks manually

i have no automatic charge generation

[shut thorn]

network beta had better sound for it

:/

shame it got replaced

[restive tapir]

i tried that but the veterans just shoot whatever i'm brainbursting

[orchid nacelle]

i use kinetic barrage for that exact reason

[shut thorn]

granted people complained about getting auditory hallucinations after playing the network beta a bunch

that crunch got stuck in your head

[restive tapir]

like they could have a rager attacking them but they make it their top priority to shoot that one poxwalker i'm brainbursting 100m away

[shut thorn]

they see shiny

[orchid nacelle]

i would pay money to change the colour of psyker's powers

make it red

[cedar oak]

ok nice

[shut thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-monke-neuron-activation-neuron-activation-gif-20850506

when vet sees bb halo

[restive tapir]

yeah my veteran maining friend said "it makes them easier to see" motherfucker you have a fucking ability that highlights enemies

[shut thorn]

vets prob think its extra dmg or smth

who knows

most of them arent aware how other classes work

[orchid nacelle]

i'm always excited to play with vets as psyker

[shut thorn]

im not

[restive tapir]

yeah pretty much, it's ironicaly played by noobs more than ogryn

[orchid nacelle]

they love my ult resets

[restive tapir]

i hate it

[vagrant cedar]

the game highlights them the heads of the enemy from time to time, cause the game is dark af

[shut thorn]

people i'd play w:
Psyker>Preacher>Ogryn>Vet

[vagrant cedar]

what else

[orchid nacelle]

i am the veteran's sugar daddy who provides the psykinetic's aura

[shut thorn]

my gripe w vets is that most of them just aren't familiar w/ the game

[orchid nacelle]

they get to go carte blanche with their ult and i get free highlights on specials

[high agate]

I feel like BB should pretty much one shot kill everything in the game excluding Ogryns, even on Damn. Otherwise just use a fucking gun

[shut thorn]

my gripe w/ ogryns is that they're miserable in t5

[vagrant cedar]

do people even know you do 10% more dmg to elites if you're around psyker?

[restive tapir]

playing with a decent veteran as psyker is like "ok now i'm going to hold W for 5 minutes until a horde spawn then i clear it with my amazing horde clear and now i don't see any remarkable enemies for another 5 minutes"

[shut thorn]

I've met more suicidal/toxic ogryns in t5 than normal ones

[restive tapir]

like dude let me brainburst that fucking poxwalker it costs you nothing to not shoot for 3 seconds

[restive tapir]

i feel like Ogryn is balanced in a way that makes them unable to carry on their own but a good ogryn makes it easier for you to carry them. Hence the toxicity because they hate when their teammates make mistakes

[orchid nacelle]

i got a team where i was the only psyker with psykinetic aura and everyone else was a vet on damnation

was very funny

i don't think anyone had their ult inactive for long than 10 seconds

[simple junco]

Did one with 3 psykers and a zealot, was actually intense

[orchid nacelle]

BASTION 2-20 CO-
CADIAN SUPRISE COMIN IN-
HEADHUNTIN-
SEVER THE HEAD, THE BODY DIES

every 5 seconds

psykinetic aura is cracked yo

[sonic aspen]

That also relies on them being able to aim

[frank moat]

Matchmaking with 3 AI Sharpshooters simulator

[sonic aspen]

I seen a few vets who might be blind

[simple junco]

They looked at a surge user the wrong way

[orchid nacelle]

that being, at all

[sonic aspen]

you made me realize it might be me for being the reason since I run surge staff

I may have burned their eyes outta their sockets

[covert cosmos]

ogryn on harder difficulties is rough

[fresh reef]

man, after looking over vet's skilltree it's insane how much synergy it has

esp when compared to psyker's

[covert cosmos]

ur the tanky class but everything hurts so much

atleast zealot can heal so they can afford to be more aggressive

[sonic aspen]

sometimes I feel like they rushed the Psykers feat tree or didn't know what to add

[covert cosmos]

a lot of classes feel like they had an identity crisis near release

nice

[frank moat]

woah free??

[fresh reef]

<@&735928989146939404>

troll this man

[night marten]

^

[covert cosmos]

farewell

[fresh reef]

L

[simple junco]

F

[near bluff]

took em all for myself

[fresh reef]

💀

here's a radical idea

make the third level 30 feat base kit

[simple junco]

Or replace the 3% damage bonus with innate peril resistance

[sonic aspen]

or make it like 5% each stack or at least something you can actually notice

[near wyvern]

They looked at a surge user the wrong way

Fixed it for ya.

[night marten]

it just feels weird that purgatus clearly synergizes with 3-4 feats, while surge, void, and trauma don't do anything specific with the tree

[fresh reef]

indeed

[night marten]

just the weirdest talent design I think I've ever seen

[simple junco]

It's either "kill it with fire" or "Brain Burst that man"

[fresh reef]

even then, the soulblaze feats are largely underwhelming and outclassed

[night marten]

na they're good with a dedicate purge setup

[simple junco]

Ehhh... If something is usable in T5, I don't think it's underwhelming.

[sonic aspen]

Ok so we all are in agreement just delete psyker and act like it never existed

[night marten]

but you need a purge setup to use them, otherwise half the tree is useless

[fresh reef]

looking particularly at wrack and ruin

2 stacks kek

[simple junco]

Oh absolutely

[night marten]

yea that needs a bump for sure

[empty granite]

Is there a single other useful perk on the Purgatus staff than Crit chance?

[simple junco]

If it applied to a FS alt kill, then cool

[covert cosmos]

the only one i like is AB

[night marten]

more flak, maniac, or unyielding damage vOv

[simple junco]

(a lot of problems would be solved for Psyker if FS just gave WC stacks)

[stark snow]

I don’t think the idea of building and spending warp charges is terrible. Just the ways to do it are half baked. Bb or rng to build, and using ult to spend/get penalized

[empty granite]

I mean, the staff damage isn't what you care about, it's the burn.

[near wyvern]

Funny thing soulblaze is better the more you stack Psykers using it

The 10% chance of getting a warp charge is not only from your soulblaze kills. It's any soulblaze kills.

And the stacks are not separate. Two purgatus users exponentially increase the damage. It's not 2x the damage, it's more like x^2 the damage.

[fresh reef]

honestly, I would like it if ObeseFish doubled the stacks every soulblaze feat applied
4, 8, 8/12 respectively
just to see what happens

[simple junco]

Or at the very least, let them remove themselves one stack of a time

[night marten]

it's the most meaningful choice I think you can make.

[simple junco]

Damage reflects the burn's tick rate tho

[fresh reef]

I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought stacking purg staffs was getting me more charges

[empty granite]

Lol, I wish that weren't true

[stark snow]

Tbh the 10% to quell 10% on kill as part of the base should just be a % chance to get a wc

[fresh reef]

true

10% peril cleanse is literally fucking nothing lol

[night marten]

the purge direct damage isn't non-existent, I see ~400+ ticks while doing direct damage for a reason (suspect it's soulblaze and purge damage ticking simultaneously)

[stark snow]

Like you’re not really gonna manage your peril around that

[night marten]

so if you're constantly mashing secondary it should add up

[simple junco]

Or make the 4% WC skill innate

To open up build choices

[fresh reef]

maybe a 50% peril refund, given how often it wants to proc

then again, that goes to show how noticeable it is

[empty granite]

Would the Psyker play ANY different if the F quelled 100% of peril like it did in closed beta?

[fresh reef]

psyker tree is just "wait why do I need a feat for this"

[stark snow]

Idk I feel like half the time it procs I didn’t really need it

[simple junco]

Zealot gets 10% melee speed for free, Psykers should have something that shows that the class needs to be in coherence to be effective.

[near wyvern]

You'd be surprised. On Damnation especially high intense I can purge forever as long as there are sufficient amount of mobs present because of the 10% chance to quell 10 on kill.

[stark snow]

It’s not like extra ammo I can use later

[fresh reef]

you get 50 toughness back from quietude, I guess?

[night marten]

just less down time quelling, more survivability from quietitude (would easily make it BiS)

[empty granite]

I mean, that would feel pretty nice

[simple junco]

The biggest skill ceiling I can think of for Purge is maintaining the 6 stacks to use at at start of a horde, but that's about it in regards to the skill tree itself

[fresh reef]

would love to test this theory but I can never find people for damnation lol

[night marten]

I use KO with purge, it's actually good

[empty granite]

So they just tune the other feats to be similarly powerful but for other circumstances

[night marten]

*on high enemy density difficulties

[empty granite]

If they care about making an impactful decision

[fresh reef]

imo 6 stacks is better to use on big shooter groups

[night marten]

increase essence harvest to 40% maybe, absorption to 15%?

[near wyvern]

I can upload a clip when I get to the computer on Tuesday if I remember

[simple junco]

When there's 6 ragers on you with a horde, I find it best to use it then lol

[fresh reef]

fair point

[night marten]

purge staff itself will melt ragers, and KO tears through them in a horde

[simple junco]

But you need space to do that lol

[empty granite]

I mean, why not? Each option should be uniquely powerful for different staves or builds, not a general BIS

[fresh reef]

which one is KO again?

[night marten]

two KO stacks kills ragers on damnation, in a really wide range. it actually feels pretty good

[stark snow]

I just send it as a knockback when I think it’s going to be most beneficial even with AB most of the time tbh

[simple junco]

Make space, add stacks, make kill

[fresh reef]

third level 30 feat right?

[night marten]

kinetic overload

25

I run 121122

[near wyvern]

4 stack soulblaze on warp charge when at max

[night marten]

purge+deflector FS

[fresh reef]

ah

[near wyvern]

Oh there we go

[night marten]

proccing that twice just melts shit

[fresh reef]

really wish our abliity tree wasn't all just Kinetic followed by a word

[night marten]

so if you're facing a horde with a mix of elites, you kill absolutely everything except crushers

[empty granite]

How are you generating those charges that quickly outside BB spam?

[night marten]

because charges proc so fast when you're killing hundreds of little guys

[simple junco]

This one is def good, but if you're running peril resistance to maintain high crit chance it's def more consistent to run 6 stacks

[fresh reef]

purg staff

[night marten]

purge staff +AB+communion

[empty granite]

WIth AB?

[fresh reef]

yes

[empty granite]

Ah

[night marten]

three KO procs kill a bulwark

[fresh reef]

L wark

[night marten]

if a bulwark is in your face, dodge backwards, kill a small group of dudes, bulwark burns down. it's hilarious

it's difficult for some to really get its viability though until they've experienced how fast charges come back when you're burning a horde

[near wyvern]

I have a combat blade with haymaker, now when that procs on a crusher it's absolutely hilarious

[night marten]

so they just dismiss a purgatus build.

[simple junco]

Hmmm... I've only ran 6 stacks on T5, might switch it over to KO and give it a shot

[night marten]

you will still take most of a hordes health with 4-stack AB, just not all of it. and unless you need to use it in an emergency, just keep the 4 stacks while burning and passively kill elites for your trouble

[sonic aspen]

I take it ranged damage on staves is the M1 not M2

because I have been ignoring those perks

[simple junco]

True, and it's more or less a great "oh shit" card to deal if the team is getting sidelined by a swarm

6 stacks isn't really needed, but I'm def gonna miss the peril resistance it adds

[night marten]

the stacks come back right away if you hit a bunch of stuff anyway

[near wyvern]

Ok so we need to find a psyker 4 stack with:

• 1 surge running psychic communion, KO and ascendent blaze

• 3 purge running psychic communion, KO and ascendent blaze

The amount of warp charges generated will be insane and the amount of soulblaze will melt Tertium.

[night marten]

also, if you're running essence harvest, it allows you to take stray gunner fire to a certain extent because every time you pop a charge from the horde your toughness comes back

[simple junco]

Inb4 the game spawns in specifically crushers

[night marten]

that's what the FS is for

[simple junco]

FS alt goes through a crusher's armor?

[valid bison]

What is the dump stat for Surge staff?

[night marten]

oh yea @simple junco

[near wyvern]

That's what the Surge is there fore. The game can give five them and there is no problem.

[near wyvern]

Damage

Charge rate as well

[devout axle]

Time for weekly reset server lag.

[simple junco]

What is the general consensus on quell speed?

[night marten]

it's ok. some people don't think it adds enough value with a difference between low and high percentages

[near wyvern]

Need for speed

[night marten]

especially those who run non-FS builds, where the melee passive quell is already high

[near wyvern]

It depends if you intend to mainly use your staff or weave

[frank moat]

Personally like it since it let’s me walk faster than with BB equipped

[near wyvern]

And if you weave you don't run FS

[rotund cloak]

Is that what it is? I asked in general if it was a me problem but I didn't get a response.

[bleak summit]

Are guns viable at damnation level? I've been using recon lasgun and it's okay but I feel like it's just worse than using surge staff.

[near wyvern]

It's hamster feeding time

[night marten]

why not play vet if you want to be gun-focused?

[near wyvern]

If you have someone to control the horde sure.

[devout axle]

I mean, there is no official response on that being the issue of the server lagging at the same time every day. But that's definitely what it is.

[bleak summit]

Fair enough, not really trying to focus on guns just wondering if there is any point to running them over staff in general.

[near wyvern]

If you don't then you wish you would have brought your void or purge

[rotund cloak]

I think ratlings is the preferred term.

[patent ether]

staff > gun

overall i would say better CC than any gun

[night marten]

vOv staffs are the really unique weapon type that psyker's bring to the table, and none of their talents (except maybe flayer?) synergize with guns

[patent ether]

^

[bleak summit]

Flayer and Cerebral Lacerations is all I can think of.

[near wyvern]

The problem with guns is that there are no talents to enhance that type of game play on Psykers.

[night marten]

lacerations is pretty useless imo

everything in the game dies too fast for it to be meaningful

[crisp yacht]

maybe its just bad luck but i feel like my ogryns shop is consistently better then my psykers. emporer hates psykers i guess 😦

[simple junco]

The only case I can see for Lacerations would be Ogryns at T5

[night marten]

aura is way more impactful for the team, and communion is a generally more useful choice (and ideal for a specific purge build)

[teal needle]

Alright time to see how hard Melk is gonna shit on me today

[night marten]

even then, it would have to change breakpoints to be really impactful

[grave bobcat]

Near useless

[steady skiff]

got constant decent to good rolls on ogryn and preacher nothing really note worthy on psyker yet...

[simple junco]

True, but it's the only case I can think of lol

[devout axle]

The Imperium hates Psykers. Fatshark hates Psykers. The Emperor is a Psyker and also eats Psykers.

[cedar oak]

ogryn weapon pool is lower so theres some consistency

[near wyvern]

On paper it's good. In reality 15% doesn't make a difference especially since you already took around 1k off from that HP bar at that point.

So the total reduction in effective HP will be around 10 to 5% depending on the enemy.

[muted wyvern]

Holy fuck, did they order too many Duelling Swords from the Duelling Sword store and now they're trying to get rid of the over-stock?

[simple junco]

If AB gave a 10% WC chance on burn/purg staff kill, I can definitely see Psykinetic's Aura getting more use

[teal needle]

Laceration only nets positive on Monstrosities. Still not worth it there though

[bleak summit]

Monstrocities are def not common enough for that to matter.

[winged turtle]

finally a sword with deflector, and a tier 4, on melks... should i grab it? i know base isn't that great
surge staff user if that matters

[teal needle]

Melk finally came through with a deflector force sword

Thank god

[night marten]

I think aura provides the most utility generally for the team. I run communion instead just to synergize with KO

[near wyvern]

Emperor is giving you a hint. LEARN TO DODGE FFS.

[teal needle]

Stats suck I don't care, getting it

[devout axle]

This is me every other hour tbh.

[near wyvern]

Ol'Melks got shiny stuff with shitty stats

[violet fossil]

What should I hope (and roll in the future) for as the 2nd blessing?

[thorny idol]

Hey guys, is this staff from melks store worth the upgrade?

(golden one)

[near wyvern]

Warp nexus or warp flurry

[night marten]

hell no imo

[devout axle]

Charge rate too low. Very important on Trauma.

[teal needle]

That's a big no

[thorny idol]

That's what I was thinking, even with warp flurry?

[near wyvern]

You can get higher base stats than that. Wait for 350+

[thorny idol]

thanks guys

I'm just jonesing for an upgrade but fuck the RNG, lol

[night marten]

my name

[devout axle]

Also, because it's an opportunity to plug.

[thorny idol]

shiny

[near wyvern]

The only thing that is wrong here is that it's a trauma and not a purge. Otherwise this would be a god roll.

[thorny idol]

why do people hate on Trauma?

[bleak summit]

What is trauma staff used for? Just the CC of explosion?

[devout axle]

Your mother is a Trauma not a Purge.

[near wyvern]

I guess you'll have to store it and then take out after 2 years when theu decide to buff it.

[thorny idol]

Trauma blast damages through armor

[leaden pier]

perhaps this is a message from the emperor, use dueling sword

[thorny idol]

it's a great Crowd controller in my book, I lately have been rocking a melee focused psyker build and using the trauma staff til they get in stabbing range

[near wyvern]

Dueling sword is good. It got me into mobility, ended up going all the way into combat blade.

Duelling sword is more versatile tho

[thorny idol]

I like me force sword with bonus damage from high peril build

just need one with deflector

[devout axle]

You mean "Pretending to be a Zealot" and "Not utilising my classes few actual strengths"

[thorny idol]

sometimes you just gotta do shit cause it's fun

[devout axle]

Run flame staff instead to complete the Zealot roleplay

Along with a knife

[thorny idol]

flame staff is my least favorite

Trauma>Purge>Voidstrike>Purgatus

[near wyvern]

Stop entertaining yourself with video games. Now get your shit together and start farming for some plasteel. This is serious business, no food or bathroom breaks for the next 16 hours. Farm, varlet.

[thorny idol]

You're right, Tzeentch is trying to lead me astray

[steady skiff]

if you run zealot u can also bonk but i guess thats harder to replicate with zealot...

[thorny idol]

you can bonk with the flame staff bash

[steady skiff]

right

forgot

[teal needle]

Now that i have a deflector sword i will give purg an honest go

[night marten]

121122

[steady skiff]

but thats more a poking than bonking tho

[night marten]

get in the front and burninate

[grave bobcat]

Curious on why you think this

[teal cargo]

man I still have no Deflector FS 😢

[thorny idol]

2nd bash is a wind up bonk hit

[steady skiff]

never got that far lol

[pine iris]

my psyker doesn't wear a hood because his head gets hot. lore friendly

[thorny idol]

I went from level 15 to 25 before getting a better force sword

[teal cargo]

i don wear a hood cos wanna see my hair

ive been level 30

never seen deflector 😢

[bleak summit]

Hoods look so bad because no hair imo 🤮

[teal needle]

I checked every shop religiously, scooped up every green and grey FS in the gold shop and upgraded them. It took me from preorder beta until now

[pine iris]

ugh melk GFY

[teal needle]

Absolute frikkin misery

[night marten]

@night marten

[pine iris]

It's just a stupid roll. It's so close to god tier but you cant get it there. 62 damage is too low

[echo parrot]

Man, I am struggling to find the drive to do anythign in this game anymore

[grave bobcat]

Same but I also don't have much else to do atm 🥲

[night marten]

just completing penances that aren't specific to non-psyker classes.

doing damn with buddies, or waiting for the shop rng godroll, that's the content for now

[echo parrot]

Only thing I have left to do is finish upgrading this boy

But thats it

[pine iris]

"reliably run 4s" is a doable goal

[echo parrot]

Plus even when I finish it, surge is just the goto despite how much I love void

[echo parrot]

I have already achieved that goal

[pine iris]

can't wait to rebless this

I love void but even this is a liability on 4

[echo parrot]

Well its 345 stats

So yeah

[finite ledge]

345 isnt bad for heresy

[bleak tulip]

total stats dont matter when at least one of them is basically irrelevant

arguably two but you know

[pine iris]

this is awesome but just boring to run.

I want to bring this to gold but it's too expensive/pointless

[cedar oak]

time for daily salt intake

[pine iris]

all you have to do is wait every minute of every day for re-blessing to hit the crafting menu is all

[bleak tulip]

or just go play something else instead of making yourself play this if you dont want to lol

next patch isnt happening this year anyway

[long wharf]

FatDevs said they were going to have the crafting system out in December this year

[worn canopy]

They did they added 1 part of it

[long wharf]

are you insinuating that they would say something that they knew would never happen?

[worn canopy]

Or did you expect all of it

[long wharf]

they aren't liars, they just change their minds!

[soft prawn]

your staves are sussy

[ivory marsh]

its not happening

[long wharf]

whoa whoa what the fuck is this?

Sour Milk has 5 staves in his limited shop!

[soft prawn]

why icon show voidstrike staff for a purgatus staff

[cedar oak]

skin

[long wharf]

I should get this just on principle

[soft prawn]

nice

[soft prawn]

[mild tartan]

All I need is pick n mix

and I will have kinetic killer 3

[long wharf]

bought 4 of the staves, now I'm out of hexagons

[soft prawn]

the items in the shop kinda hurts to purchase ngl

they're expensive

[long wharf]

what else are you going to spend those hexagons on?

[soft prawn]

not space hookers apparently

[sonic aspen]

eye glasses after using surge

[long wharf]

nope, no space hookers nor space blackjack

[soft prawn]

Darktide needs a bar like Deep Rock Galactic

buy drinks for others

[long wharf]

Darktide isn't DRG

people really need to stop comparing the two

[sonic aspen]

elves wanting a pub

[soft prawn]

i cant build platforms in Darktide shaking my smh

[violet fossil]

what should I go for here?

[long wharf]

a MkV combat axe or a force sword

[violet fossil]

and if i want to use a dueling sword instead?

[simple junco]

I've come to the conclusion that T5 Lights Out is certified ass

[soft prawn]

[simple junco]

3 poxbursters, 2 dogs, and 2 bulwarks came out of the darkness with a horde and just said "sup"

[violet fossil]

flak armor damage it is

[soft prawn]

all the 80, 80, 80 weapons I've seen so far has been lower tier

[teal cargo]

feels bad

omg aa Deflector FS 👀

But it's kinda bad!

[simple junco]

Deflector adds a secret 100 to the rating

[soft prawn]

Grab it and save it for the blessing swap mechanic

[teal cargo]

ill give Purg a go i guess

yea blessing swap in 2 years or so

[grave bobcat]

I'm trying Purge now too 😄

[teal cargo]

mostly surge makes me feel sick

so it is what iti s

[warm delta]

came here to get the pick n mix penance and accidently got going out with a bang... oh well

[teal cargo]

feels pretty sketch

specially for DH tanking 😢

[severe folio]

between pushing a pox burster and pop their head

which one is the safer option

[long wharf]

depends how close they are

[severe folio]

like, should i pop the head of a burster on the way toward my teammate

should i let them push them or pop their head

[long wharf]

push doesn't always push the burster back, especially if they're already in the air

surge, however, will always push a burster back

[severe folio]

i see

is there a difference between a burster blow themselve up or we blow them up

[long wharf]

if the burster isn't within AoE range of the teammate, a push can be useful

no, burster AoE happens either way

[simple junco]

I've seen bursters jump through a surge before

[long wharf]

must have been lag, because I haven't

[warm delta]

surge will push back however it will stun the burster and stopping it from exploding itself, need to use a range weapon to detonate it

[simple junco]

Cool, it still isn't 100% lol

[lime gorge]

Yeah busters get weird when they’re close

I think the jump animation starts sooner than you think

Or just weird AI pathing

[simple junco]

Yeahh, I think it's 50% jank and 50% luck. I've ulted bursters mid-jump and been fine

Even purgatus staff can stun it out of a jump, but it's finnicky

[severe folio]

so

best option is

just pop head ?

[simple junco]

Pretty much. Either pop it before it gets to you or push it back before it jumps

(good luck on the Lights Out mod)

[mellow fossil]

Heyy. How much you use autoguns or lasguns? Or just stick with the staff?

[warm delta]

I once had seen a burster when it's approaching and starts to pop its head immediately, while my team also sees it and trys to push it back, but then they see the blue glowing light and decided to back off, while I saw my team trys to push it so I also cancelled my BB, resulting the burster to jump right in the middle of the team, worst cooperation ever

[simple junco]

Depends on your style of play. Mostly psykers stick to staves, but guns are an option.

Well, gun.

Side note, is anyone else getting a metric ton of T5 Lights Out?

[grave bobcat]

Well this has to be one of the funniest ways I've saved a run

[proper stag]

how in the chaos

[severe folio]

man do i hate lightout

[shy heron]

Ye or nah?

[grave bobcat]

Lightout with purge is such a mess lol

[ebon jolt]

Wow what a tease. I got this curio from an emperors gift and it's the highest rated curio I have. Then I saw what it gave me 😦

[idle shuttle]

pick n mix wants 5 elites during 12s right...
