psyker-class

[inland sand]

the best bit in that video is the Knife Zealot immediately dying

[vestal rose]

they just wanna get to 1hp and uh
die the moment they take 2 hits, in my experience

[inland sand]

gets me every time

[vestal rose]

75% toughness damage reduction though
(i do not like knife zealot)

[sharp ibex]

They just never tested to see how shit it is without the charge and assume it must be good somehow

[inland sand]

that talent is definitely strong, for sure

[surreal needle]

Knife psyker > knife zealot

[inland sand]

the psyker in that game is actually very good as well, using the Voidstrike

makes me want to learn and get good with it

[cyan notch]

whats there to learn

[clear heath]

A bunch of people think crusher sucks because it does no damage and i swear it's the people like the randoms i meet who don't have weapon special bound

[cyan notch]

just right click left click boom

[inland sand]

how to play Psyker I suck at it

[surreal needle]

Knife Psyker works a bit too well, being able to actually block everything and having a mass shove ability, its fun

[clear heath]

like they don't use the special and are like "guys is this just the thammer but worse???"

[sharp ibex]

They don't need it bound because they are already special.

[inland sand]

leveling mine atm and I die to a sneeze

it's agony

[surreal needle]

Just dont get hit

Hide in a corner

[cyan notch]

i thought the point of these weapons are to power them up using the special lol

[surreal needle]

High level psyker strats

[inland sand]

ah shit that's where I'm going wrong 😛

[sharp ibex]

Use purg staff, press dodge, use duelling sword for mega maneuverability

[vestal rose]

if enemies areNT being controlled, you're already dead :)

[inland sand]

this has been my experience. I mean maybe it gets better at level 25 or 30 but right now it's just suffering

[sharp ibex]

take block perils talent and block the world

[clear heath]

Honestly using the crusher for so long made me suck so much worse at melee with any other weapon now
Actual brainrot tier weapon

[vestal rose]

it doesn't really :)

[surreal needle]

Just grab a gun and pretend youre a veteran

[inland sand]

savage review

anyone want a coffee I'm gonna stick one on

[clear heath]

You actually just don't worry about melee at all with the crusher.
It staggers in an 7m radius and supresses for 14m. Swarms of crushers and maulers are just food

[vestal rose]

I love psyker I just kinda wish they were a lil better designed lol

[inland sand]

the stagger radius on it is absolutely ridiculous

[clear heath]

turns damnation into a joke

[inland sand]

when u have crushers just benny hilling into each other

not doing anything

[clear heath]

I honestly think it should be nerfed tbh

but i also think it's hilarious so i hope it doesn't

melee combat in damnation against like 15 melee elites shouldn't be this braindead

[vestal rose]

my main concern is when the other options aren't really worth using, and so the boring option becomes the only real option
(surge staff ;-;)

[inland sand]

I'd like to see the power field attacks nerfed a bit and the regular attacks tuned to be not useless. Specifically the light attacks

but honestly they need to fix a bunch of other stuff high priority first

like, u know, having working Feats

[clear heath]

rn it's so busted that if you ran a stage and every poxwalker got replaced by ragers, it would be barely an inconvenience

[elfin roost]

Me when a 2022 game comes out and it's not finished (it's every game this year)

[inland sand]

ikr wtf happened to games....

really sad

this game feels like 75% finished

[surreal needle]

Guess we gotta start fighting khorne instead

[cyan notch]

god of war

[inland sand]

that's all we have now

Dad of Boy

[elfin roost]

I mean it makes sense in the long run but still

[clear heath]

Look at how fast you can spam this shit. Why does special animation cancel the special attack?

this shit staggers in a ball around you for multiple seconds

[elfin roost]

Game may not be complete now but it'll be much more complete than a game you can't update

...one year

[inland sand]

I for one would like some story

who is Grendyl

what are we doing

why are we doing it

[clear heath]

You can see the bulawark in the background freaking out because his friend is getting smacked miles away from him

[inland sand]

u know, the little things

[cyan notch]

idk who tf grendyl is either

[elfin roost]

The way they designed dialogue and how everyone acts is kind of self sabotaging though

[cyan notch]

idk who that lady in the intro cutscene is either

[sharp ibex]

As part of an iquisitorial warband/retinue, you don't need to know.

[vestal rose]

• grendyl is boss
• killing 'eretics
• cause they're 'eretics

[south zephyr]

[clear heath]

congrats

[elfin roost]

I'm noticing from the talking that I

[sharp ibex]

The cutscenes are bollocks and the story is a bit wank, but we are literally just a pleb

[inland sand]

but as a player, I'd like to!

[sharp ibex]

Which is why the premise of the whole thing is utter shit

[elfin roost]

Kinda hate every class

[bleak tulip]

then read the lore posts, as a player

[sharp ibex]

We should be a proper higher level agent, and maybe we become that

[bleak tulip]

they're out there, they're just not in the game because it's not done

[inland sand]

lol

my point exactly

[elfin roost]

Only ogryn isn't completely unlikable but everyone else is pretty one note

[clear heath]

Yeah i'd like more story in game, but they probably have higher priorities rn

[vestal rose]

someone kark that karking karker

[sharp ibex]

I'd rather gak that gaking gakhead

[clear heath]

I really like my loner psyker's personality. He's cynical and blunt and it makes for hilarious dialogue

[sharp ibex]

Is that the german one?

[vestal rose]

this

[clear heath]

I think we've all seen him argue with the subtitles too

[sharp ibex]

"Your corpse emperor"

[viscid cloak]

just wish she was more nicer to ogryns

[elfin roost]

The vibe isn't sufficiently good in the talking

[vestal rose]

loner psyker is the only good personality

[bleak tulip]

loner psyker makes me want to pierce my eardrums so I never have to hear again. shame too because he has some good lines

[clear heath]

This is the best
https://youtu.be/h-zHvAeWLBQ

[sharp ibex]

I like that four shortened lifespans line, but i'm not sure it has much place during a big horde

[bleak tulip]

but he squeals like a pig every other line

[elfin roost]

"I like the emperor"
"I'm racist to ogryns"
"Me not dumb like the others"

[viscid cloak]

wait,is loner male psyker the one that says "So many souls to sniff!"?

[sharp ibex]

PLASTEEEEEÉEEEEEEL

Isn't it, snuff?

[potent echo]

theres seer

[elfin roost]

Depends how he's feeling

[south zephyr]

Using 1 wound curio, but not sure if I should stack toughness of health - any suggestions?

[clear heath]

I can't remember the name of the voice option, but I also love my Zealot as well

[tawdry shell]

which is better?

both seem decent to me

[jaunty atlas]

hmm. the second

[elfin roost]

I would think #2 as someone who doesn't play the game far as what I can see

[exotic mason]

So which curios are better for psyker?

[bleak tulip]

toughness

[clear heath]

^

[bleak tulip]

kind of the same as everyone

[clear heath]

we replenish it so fast too

but yeah i take it on everyone

[elfin roost]

Toughness meta???

[tawdry shell]

So Critical chance >anything else?

[exotic mason]

Gotcha

[elfin roost]

Stat spread in general seems a lil better

[jaunty atlas]

1 wound is mandatory, so ... if you thing 30 toughness will save you, toughness. if you think 50 pv will save you, hp, if you trust your teammates and play like a degenerate : 3 wounds. and i'm having a blast :p

[clear heath]

I don't think 1 wound is mandatory after you get used to damnation

[bleak tulip]

planning to fail I see

[vestal rose]

9 stam

[jaunty atlas]

no. planning to nosedive to regen pv

150*2 hp is better than 60

and 30 toughness does nothing

[south zephyr]

Quietude or Warp Absorption with Purge staff?

[clear heath]

You very rarily find yourself going down twice in between medicaes once you're used to playing damnation
And even when you do, the run is usually lost anyways

[inland sand]

yeah I don't rate wounds at all

[jaunty atlas]

not only that, rampage is not that great of a ds, plus the second is nicely min maxed

[clear heath]

Like if i'm dying twice, everyone's probably getting fucked

[inland sand]

better to learn to not die

[jaunty atlas]

sure.

[fluid knot]

Hit, dont get hit

Ez

[clear heath]

I think wounds are fine if you're new to the difficulty and expecting other people to be a bit better than you. We've all been there

[tawdry shell]

you know I expected+20percent damage pretty good lmao

[clear heath]

I used to run a wound, and i still recommend a wound to some of my friends

[fluid knot]

No extra wounds and expend the one you do have on tactical explosions

[elfin roost]

Think I'll pick up this game sometime, since they seem to have the gameplay aspect down

[jaunty atlas]

you will get fucked by the director. regularly. running 0 wound is the recipe to have a low success rate. or you're a genius like 1 in a thousand

and that said ... i like to explode

[clear heath]

Idk man, i play damnation all the time with no wound.
We don't lose to me running out of wounds. We lose when no one can even revive eachother

[elfin roost]

What staffs does psyker have?

[clear heath]

If i go down, half the team is likely down and they're not reviving me

[tawdry shell]

The surge staff aka Eye Blinder

[clear heath]

i'm not gonna prepare for that situation happening twice

[jaunty atlas]

cc : purge. mid : trauma, surge lr: void

[elfin roost]

Emperor Palpatine moment

[bleak tulip]

all toughness regen is % based and you can get up to 60 extra toughness from curios

and still get health if youre a bit lucky with them too

[elfin roost]

So you get warp lightning, warp fire, and from what I can see, balls

[bleak tulip]

getting health first is kind of a waste since its not infinite and wounds are mostly for comfort

if your toughness breaks you should be in cover as psyker, you have it easier than most in that respect

either sucking on your thumb with quietude or murdering safer with warp absorption until you get toughness back

[elfin roost]

As for melee weapons id imagine the dueling sword to be most like either the Falchion or Rapier in vermintide

[jaunty atlas]

extreme rof and dmg on weakpoints

not the best block, quite good at dancing around

[digital narwhal]

A matchmaking team were patient with me and let me solo a Beast of Nurgle spawn, and now I have the Storm Witch's Redemption Raiment Chest, before even having Storm Witch's Duty Raiment Chest.
Feels good.

[jaunty atlas]

mk 5 is more of a cavalry saber

[clear heath]

on psyker your blocking is broken anyways

peril block moment

[viscid cloak]

I HATE THE SABER, WHERES MY KNIFE ON THE STORE ALREADY

[jaunty atlas]

gj !

[elfin roost]

So yeah you mostly wanna follow Thanos' advice and always go for the head then?

[jaunty atlas]

yep

[elfin roost]

Probably a good complement to a cc staff

[bleak tulip]

thats just kind of how melee works in general

[clear heath]

well except for maulers

[bleak tulip]

even with an eviscerator you go for the heal lol

well yeah

[digital narwhal]

You always wanna go for heads in melee

[jaunty atlas]

but if you use DS you're in for the flavor, not the perfs imho

[elfin roost]

If I have big hammer, I will simply smack them in the ribcage

[clear heath]

mauler head armor is stronger than body armor

[bleak tulip]

head still does more with TH

[digital narwhal]

Especially with weapons like the Force Sword, Duelling Sword etc

[bleak tulip]

and still flings

[jaunty atlas]

because antax will shield you and chopchop, and FS will do everything else

[digital narwhal]

Tfw Force Sword Special Action

[clear heath]

same with power sword i think

[elfin roost]

I will paralyze them with the big Hammer

[bleak tulip]

shame TH is kinda bad

because I enjoy it

[elfin roost]

Oh uh

[clear heath]

They were gonna buff it

except they didn't

[elfin roost]

I hear you can't dodge melee attacks with a ranged weapons active

[bleak tulip]

and then they added the maul which does what the thunderhammer should do with its special

[tawdry shell]

I see my friend oneshotting mutant with TH

that is so satisfying to see lmao

[bleak tulip]

sure, the point is more that the horde clear of hammer is just worse

[digital narwhal]

Feels good to have drip.

since youre mostly flinging shit around instead of just killing it

[digital narwhal]

Also, it's not just me that's just sticking to blues until the Re-Bless system is added, right?

[tawdry shell]

wrong clip

[bleak tulip]

the best CC is death, especially for hordes

Purgatus Staff Moment

[tawdry shell]

BONK

[bleak tulip]

it is just you

[elfin roost]

But my funny

[jaunty atlas]

yes, nothing more "i'm the best" like a cock armour

[bleak tulip]

there is no point in sticking with blues

rebless is gonna be cheap ish

[digital narwhal]

Heyyyyy, the Cod Piece is very important.

[elfin roost]

Me when paid cosmetics only

[jaunty atlas]

that wasn't sarcastic, it's historically true !

[digital narwhal]

[elfin roost]

Man I wanna abuse the character creation

[bleak tulip]

its also historically just fashion

[jaunty atlas]

i would argue in favor of syphilis but ..

[clear heath]

My surge staff is still blue because i don't care enough and surge barely gains anything

[shy cradle]

Uncrushed nards are a forever green in fashion

[bleak tulip]

this is the one exception eah

surge doesnt really gain shit

its never gonna do good damage

[clear heath]

I'd rather spend my plasteel on rolling curios than try to consecrate my crowd control weapon

[digital narwhal]

Also, I have Warp Flurry on my Purgatus.
What other Blessing would go well with Warp Flurry?

And what perks are even useful on Purgatus?
Since I know extra damage is mostly useless since it's used to burn.

[clear heath]

Perks do buff burn damage

[digital narwhal]

Oh they do?

[clear heath]

It's actually based off the weapon you have out. It'll use the perks and blessings of your melee wep if you swap to it

probably a bug but idk if they care enough to fix

[digital narwhal]

I have +20% damage vs Unarmoured on it rn
Extra damage vs Flak Armour would be good along with it, right?

[bleak tulip]

flak is always good

[digital narwhal]

Since I know it does squat diddly vs Carapace

[bleak tulip]

flak is pretty BiS for purg since it hits the base armor class and a surprisnig amount of enemy breeds have flak as their base https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PtPcw4m4YtO_IcEkFlJJOBVWCYDEIeCKJRYLT4SmLc0/htmlview#

[clear heath]

This is with flamer, but soulblaze does the same thing.
Watch how it even ramps up in damage every hit because of the axe's blessing

buggy ass game

[bleak tulip]

everything with a 2 is base flak

[digital narwhal]

Yeah, I know that Flak is pretty common, I just wanted to know if damage perks were worth it on the Purgatus

And I got the answer I needed

So probably gonna try to roll extra damage vs Flak along with the Unarmoured

[clear heath]

I think people like crit because crits apply an extra stack of soulblaze

[digital narwhal]

Oh it does?

[clear heath]

i don't actually run purg myself tho so idk

[bleak tulip]

which on paper is great but you likely only get a few ticks out of dots on average if you actually aim to kill shit fast

[summer prairie]

it probably adds more than one extra stack

[bleak tulip]

its really hard to test for obvious reasons

[digital narwhal]

So would Warp Nexus and Warp Flurry together be good?
Or would Focused Channeling with Warp Flurry be better to ensure the "get off me" doesn't get interrupted?

[summer prairie]

purgatus uses salvo crits and you should get 3 crits whenever you crit

[bleak tulip]

I might legit consider rending on purg

so you do better against flak

[digital narwhal]

Don't think Purg can get a Rending Blessing

[bleak tulip]

https://darkmass.gg/weapons/ranged/Force Staff (Purgatus)

according to darkmass it can

[clear heath]

maybe you can switch to a melee with rending and get the burns to rend

[digital narwhal]

Focused Channeling
Warp Flurry
Warp Nexus
Terrifying Barrage
Run 'N' Gun

Those are the only Blessings I've ever seen on Purgatus Staffs

[bleak tulip]

well in that case the only legit good one would be nexus yeah

run and gun is kind of a meme, comfort blessing

[digital narwhal]

So Nexus and Flurry would probably be the best two to get?

[bleak tulip]

focused channeling is also comfort, just dodge back instead

[inland sand]

how does flurry work

[bleak tulip]

I mean thats my take, I dont play purg much though

[digital narwhal]

I back dodge a lot, yeah

[inland sand]

what is a chained secondary

[bleak tulip]

there is a timer

[digital narwhal]

I'm probably just thinking of the few off times I've been caught between two hordes and my secondary fire gets interrupted

[bleak tulip]

it doesnt work well right now but you get at least one stack on average

[summer prairie]

dodging while holding a ranged weapon doesn't interrupt enemy tracking so it can be a bit iffy

[bleak tulip]

flurry isnt super good on purg but its decent ish on void

[vale nacelle]

Hot take: blindly taking purgatus into a mission is throwing unless you luck into a ranged heavy strike team.

[inland sand]

if I fully charge my secondary do I miss timing window for flurry?

[bleak tulip]

you wanna charge as little as possible right now

[inland sand]

why so?

[bleak tulip]

if you spam right click it stacks

[inland sand]

leans in to learn

[bleak tulip]

if you charge half you only get one stack for the next one

on void

try it out

[inland sand]

so you want to rapid fire secondaries as much as possible?

[summer prairie]

is it though, I just did damnation with hounds and a 2 flamer zealot+my surge psyker+bot team and we weren't missing any ranged

[bleak tulip]

spam no charge right clicks and see how it jumps to lke half chage for the next one

[void anvil]

warp flurry is definitely always the best choice for purg the other blessing is up to you. i like nexus but some go with uninterruptable or the run n gun blessing

[clear heath]

This site doesn't seem accurate.
It says surge can get transfer peril and i don't think it can.
It doesn't even make sense. Surge can't even target weakspots.

[bleak tulip]

no, thats bad

[inland sand]

is that a good rule of thumb in general or just with warp flurry

[clear heath]

Also it doesn't list surge blessinf for voidstrike. I think it's just reusing the same list for all the staves

[bleak tulip]

which is why you just use flurry to get one stack

[digital narwhal]

Mid charge Voidstrike typically always

[bleak tulip]

it skips 8% of subsequent charges which helps a bit, thats literally the only good thing about flurry

[digital narwhal]

It does enough damage and doesn't waste time on extra charge

[bleak tulip]

its basically bugged right now

[inland sand]

what a surprise lol

[bleak tulip]

but still probably the best second blessing for void after transfer

because everything else is ass

[vale nacelle]

Big tru, 1/2 charge voidstrike one taps flak.

[summer prairie]

surge on voidstrike is not ass

[digital narwhal]

Transfer Peril on Voidstrike is addictive

[bleak tulip]

it can with left clicks, but I think youre right and it cant roll for it

[clear heath]

I forgot left clicks even existed

[bleak tulip]

purg was listed as being able to roll transfer too and that staff definitely cant hit weakspots

left click is legit good if it wasnt such a pain to use

[digital narwhal]

I want a new staff sometime down the line with a unique Primary Fire like Purg

[clear heath]

left click is just for blowing up barrels for me

[bleak tulip]

I use it more and more, but I also quell cancel so

it does really good weak spot damage against stragglers

its also good suppression

I spam it at gunners to do some minor CC when I dont have a horde to blast

[clear heath]

i mean i run surge so i'd just stun anyways

[digital narwhal]

Staff Primary Fire is unaffected by incoming suppression, too, right?

[bleak tulip]

you can kill gunners with really easily it if you quell cancel

[digital narwhal]

Typically makes them the best anti-suppression weapons available

[bleak tulip]

because then the delay doesnt matter as much because youre spamming shots

[void anvil]

im about to switch off of purg and void to use the trauma staff with the rending blessing on it 😎

well see how this goes lol

[digital narwhal]

If you do that, pls don't take a Force Sword

[bleak tulip]

#psyker-class message @clear heath

just spam lmao

one day they'll unfuck left click and people will realize how good it is

its a legit part of the psyker kit but nobody uses it because its a pain to use

mark my words :p

[void anvil]

why not?

[digital narwhal]

So you can naturally quell Peril with a normal melee weapon

Use Trauma as a switch weapon; switch into it, blast, switch off

[bleak tulip]

staves in general are yeah

which is a big advantage for taking out gunners and snipers as void

[digital narwhal]

Plus, Brain Burst too.
Although it's a little slow.

[bleak tulip]

I dont have to rely on my F and there not being shit in the way to kill snipers

I just kill em

[digital narwhal]

I like ignoring Suppression as Psyker

Feels good

[bleak tulip]

plasma vet could do it too but then you used a plasma right click as vet which is a big investment compared to a basically free void right click

[digital narwhal]

Refined all my Curios, got extra toughness on all of their perks

Feels good

I have a Toughness, Health and Wound Curio, all with Extra Toughness.

[bleak tulip]

160 toughness psyker is nice

[digital narwhal]

Yeah

[summer prairie]

surge/void/trauma left click is surprisingly good yeah

[digital narwhal]

I play a very aggressive Psyker, when I can though

I won't blindly run into gunfire and die

But when I can be aggressive, the extra toughness helps

[summer prairie]

especially surge with high crit

[bleak tulip]

which is why its hilarious that surge players never use it

theirs is the best void bolt

you can legit murder ragers with it

they would rather spend like 70 peril right clicking ragers until their team kills em

instad of just firing like 2 bolts at em to kill one before CCing

[digital narwhal]

Surge players try to Primary Fire challenge (Impossible)

[summer prairie]

right click with some charge is still better against a group of ragers

[bleak tulip]

sure but only once theyre in range

[drowsy fog]

Avery I dont know you but I already love you

[bleak tulip]

until then you can spam away with void bolts because theyre 4-5% a pop

[digital narwhal]

The lightning is a safety net, not an always use tool

A lot of Surge players don't understand that

[bleak tulip]

I mean its on primary fire for a reason you'd think

its just that people try it, notice the delay, miss the shot and never use it again

[digital narwhal]

I've seen people go through missions using only their secondary fire to try to kill things

Instead of

ya know

stunning and then using primary fire

They'd rather waste time and peril

[bleak tulip]

you could probably even alternate tbh

[summer prairie]

granted I do want to waste peril

[bleak tulip]

but I dont play surge so idk

still sounds boring

[summer prairie]

for toughness

[digital narwhal]

Surge is fun when you're not just lightning botting

Using it to stun threats, slow down hordes and using primary fire to kill things you CC is the way to do it

Most people treat it like it has no primary fire

And that's weird

Also, small rant, but I really hope Fatshark figures out what they wanna do with Psyker.
It feels as if Psyker as a class doesn't know what it wants to be; you can absolutely make it work and you can do well in all difficulties, but it feels as if it takes more work than the other classes.

[bleak tulip]

I just hope they actually make psykinetic better before they release the other subclasses

so its not a matter of "hey maybe in two years I play psy again"

[digital narwhal]

I hope so too.
I don't want them to band-aid Psyker with that Psyker Protectorate that was apparently datamined, but actually fix Psykinetic and the fundamentals of Psyker as a class too before they release another subclass.

Band-aiding classes with subclasses has always felt... cheap to me.

Also, specifically, I hope Brain Burst gets an increase in base charge speed and a slight reduction in Peril gain.

[bleak tulip]

nah theyre gonna raise it to 50% and nerf F again so its only 25% and 25% over 5 seconds now

[sour olive]

I suspect the guy who designed psyker is the same guy who designed engi in V2

really love to kill the fun

the warp charge mechanic is the same ugly shit like pressure mechanic

[digital narwhal]

This is why I'm excited for Protectorate (if the datamine was correct); I want a subclass that isn't just Micromanagement: The Game

Or at least

I'm hopeful it won't be that

[sour olive]

I dont think there'll be a subclass, since they havn't clean up the mess yet and the stuff that was datamined can be abandoned stuff

everything can happen

[digital narwhal]

Oh I know they 100% have to add in the launch promises and clean up some mess

But if Protectorate does happen, I just hope it isn't as micromanagey as Psykinetic

[clear heath]

I don't think our class is that micromanagey anyways, since warp charges are so useless

[bleak tulip]

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/in-depth-psyker-feedback/56513 whoops I reposted this again

how clumsy

[clear heath]

suggesting no changes for warp charges is a pretty hot take

wild

[iron harbor]

what qualifies as critical peril for the purposes of talents?

this is an admittedly old post

gotcha.

thank you, gamer

[bleak tulip]

yeah

his takes on some of the talents are very outdated

but ya know, early post and all that

his conclusions at the end are still eerily accurate

[sour olive]

I run T4-1, since most psyker weapons lacks stamina

[clear heath]

I mean i think almost everyone does

peril block is great

[bleak tulip]

note also that this post was made while only playing trauma

[sour olive]

yet I never get a chance to try deflector

[clear heath]

You could argue t4-2 maybe if you're a god at melee who never needs to block but sometimes gets shot

[bleak tulip]

its a little overrated

its really good but not the ultimate "must have or you cant play psyker"

[sour olive]

ik

[digital narwhal]

Deflector is best used when you're using the Purgatus staff, and want a defensive tool to help protect you when in awkward spots or when closing the gap

[bleak tulip]

I used to run 4-2 a lot

I only really use 41 for picking up people

blocking is for chumps

FS has infinite dodges and dodging is really easy in DT

[sour olive]

kinetic shield isnt worth it imo since it doesnt give you health reduction and 'just look at vet's reduction and zealot's reduction'

its shit

[bleak tulip]

and even for picking up you dont need 4-1 it just makes it a lot better

you still get like 6 stam bars for picking up regularily

[digital narwhal]

I've found myself never really getting hit in melee unless a random Rager runs at me, or if a horde is dragged into me from behind by a teammate.
I've been testing out t4-1 and t4-2, but can't really decide on one.

[clear heath]

I mean it's not nothing at least, and not everyone needs to block that often

I do run peril block and even then i sometimes do a run where i don't feel the need to block at all

[sour olive]

what can ya do with 100 toughness still

[digital narwhal]

Although, I do run a Deflector Force Sword, so I think t4-1 might be best for me because of that.

[sour olive]

the pool is just too little

[clear heath]

idk i feel like my toughness is protecting me most of the time

we have barely any health. If it wasn't saving me, i'd be dead

[digital narwhal]

But also, I like to stay in high or crit peril because of t2-1, so t4-2 has use there, and t4-1 won't show up if I'm in crit peril

[bleak tulip]

get toughness curios for a total of 160 and slide everywhere, stay in cover and behind your team so they get shot

[digital narwhal]

Psykinetic Moment

[sour olive]

oh yeah speaking of getting shot, its really frustrating to clean up shooter as psyker than my experience in all other class

even running voidstrike

surge can clean flak armor shooter but thats it

[clear heath]

have you ever tried cleaning up an army of ranged gunners with zealot flamer?

[sour olive]

I just press F and melee the fracker

they wont shot in melee

[summer prairie]

as if

[clear heath]

but what if there's two groups of gunners?

[sour olive]

find gasp

[summer prairie]

dregs are annoying as a surge psyker if they are spread out but otherwise you can just f and go melee them just fine

or stun until you get close

[bleak tulip]

tyr posted a good video on how good force block is

[sour olive]

covers, heights

corners

or throw a nade

or just kill them all

[clear heath]

how much block efficiency is that?

[summer prairie]

that was just one gunner, not that great

[clear heath]

that was one gunner but he also isn't dodging

[sour olive]

^

[bleak tulip]

it can save you in some situations and yeah

[sour olive]

yeah do dodge

[clear heath]

you can block while doing your infinite dodges

[bleak tulip]

he went back in deliberately

[cyan notch]

that stamina regen speed

[south monolith]

Still sad the FS bug forum marked "Sniper shoots going through deflector" as not a bug

[summer prairie]

at least when playing surge I only ever wish I had deflection when clutching some mass shooter situation

[buoyant kraken]

do you guys use the soulblaze ult?

[bleak tulip]

sniper shots go through ogryn shield too, seems intentional

[clear heath]

I don't think they do

[wise pecan]

Nah they don’t

[bold flint]

i can block tons of shots with the slab shield wdym

[bleak tulip]

I swear I read that somewhere

oh well my bad then

[bold flint]

you read wrong

[clear heath]

i swear they used to, but i tried blocking one today and i think it worked

[south monolith]

They said it goes through Ogryn shield in that response to the bug post

[wise pecan]

They maybe overpenetrate and hit the guy behind the ogryn, but ogryn can def block snipers and not take damage

That said, it’s been a minute since I ran slab shield on ogryn, that may have changed

[sour olive]

I still usually run pistol revolver and XII as zealot. former two when Im using eviscerator and other 2H. I barely use flamer since I need smth to snipe specialist like playing V2.

revolver can stagger flamer and cuz its pistol it has better dodge

[clear heath]

i switched from flamer to autogun cause i still wanna abuse the F bug on zealot and i don't trust my team to actually shoot gunners

flamer is definitely better with coordination but that doesn't exist

[sour olive]

XII's damage falloff is reversed, the further target is the better it goes

[clear heath]

Yeah ik. I use it on vet and it's great

just not as good for zealot bug abuse and i don't wanna use the same weapon on multiple characters

[wise pecan]

I run flamer and antax on my zealot, usually does pretty well

[raw breach]

the K12 is certainly the best gun for 1HK, so much so that after playing with it for so long on my Vet I can't use any other guns

[shut thorn]

datamining while sick wasn't a good idea

my dreams were literally about trying to figure out how the chain lightning works half asleep

[clear heath]

did you figure out how it works?

[shut thorn]

idk it's all a blur

fever dream

[clear heath]

go back to sleep and figure it out then

[shut thorn]

No thanks

My whole face and throat hurt

[wise pecan]

I tried the Lucius 3, and while I understand why people like it, I don’t. The iron sights are still iron sights, and whiffing a charged shot feels awful

[raw breach]

What's weird is that it isn';t even the raw damage that the K12 brings over every other gun in the game, but it has an optic instead of iron sights

[sour olive]

we ran out of optic

[wise pecan]

To be fair, the damage is what sets it above every other kantrael. But yes. Having actual optics makes it the best gun for shooting things

[sour olive]

all guards on the morningstar don't have one on their lasgun

[raw breach]

I took all the Lucius guns into Meat Grinder after they got buffed and all i could think when i hit a charged shot was "i could have done with much damage with a K12 without having to charge"

[sour olive]

[wise pecan]

This is fair, until you look at a crusher

[sour olive]

use nade

[raw breach]

Crushers are not my job. I kill everything else, my team kills Crushers

[sour olive]

but yeah, crusher can be set back later

things like specialist&shooter cant

[clear heath]

I hate it when my vets just fire 20 lasgun shots into the crusher instead of the swarm of gunners shooting us down

why yes i love watching you deal 2 damage

[wise pecan]

Not a bad take, but still. Personally, I find crushers dangerous not because they necessarily do a lot of damage, but because they’re so big and near invincible that they can protect a number of enemies with their hitbox. Preventing them from getting close has real utility, because it means you can shoot the things under/behind them

[sour olive]

cant really trust public m8s can we

[raw breach]

It's funny to me because you can always tell the players who have never stepped foot into the Meat Grinder for testing and don't understand what those blue hit markers mean

[wise pecan]

Yes, do not shoot crushers unless you have a gun actually meant for it, lol

[clear heath]

I focus crushers as psyker just so the vets don't get distracted.
Those fuckers will focus the crusher from 20 meters away if i don't kill them first

[deft fiber]

Warp resistance sadge.

[wise pecan]

Also unrelated I still have yet to see power cycler on my vet :(

[clear heath]

same

[wise pecan]

The bigger problem is that it’s a trauma staff lol

[deft fiber]

Yeah,

Would keep it. If it eventually will be buffed and fixed😢

[true torrent]

Might get fixed in the nest two years though

[deft fiber]

Worth it.

[wise pecan]

Yeah it’s worth having just in case they buff it

That being said, so far the only time they’ve buffed psyker is when they made surge staff no longer trigger migraines irl, so we’ll see lol

[clear heath]

that's actually a damage nerf
no longer damages players eyes

[deft fiber]

Didn't they revert vfx last patch?

[brisk panther]

yes, thats what he ment

[wise pecan]

That is what I was referring to, yes

[deft fiber]

Ah, i see. Me dumb.

[clear heath]

Why did it take so long just to change it back?

[true torrent]

Diidn't that fix break crit damage?

[brisk panther]

here is my feedback regarding this: Priorities for fixes with included lies or inconsistensies on announcements from FS - One of the classes with arguably one of the most important roles are almost unplayable since the last patch (surge staff VFX making people nauseous after 1 game, peril stuck at 100% for multiple seconds). This stuff was acknowledged a few hours after the patch was released on thursday. In the patch notes for the same update (1.0.0.20) it says “We feel that unlimited store pages are likely to create confusion and a bad user experience.”, literally 2 days later the p2skin shop got HOTFIXED to add another page where you can buy the previous cosmetics. But leaving the seizure inducing VXF for the CC staff during the same weekend that you add DOGS MODIFIER is somehow OK. That tells me alot about the priorities.

[wise pecan]

My only guess is that they had to rummage through the Recycle Bin for the previous vfx. Alternatively, they just really didn’t want to release another hotfix?

[brisk panther]

but they hotfixed p2skin shop same weekend

[bleak tulip]

its a workflow thing, deploying tiny hotfixes isnt how every company works and the problem didnt affect everyone the same

[sour olive]

^

just pipeline shit

[clear heath]

Maybe they kept trying to change it to something new but couldn't figure it out so they just thought "fuck it, just use the old version"

[bleak tulip]

I just found it a bit annoying while other people got legit nauseous from the VFX, its runs a gamut

[clear heath]

I mean the thing is, they've done other hotfixes faster before.
This one isn't even a new feature. It's just changing one to an old feature

[daring crown]

trying to do my Pick n Mix pennance. Any tips?

[clear heath]

If they actually were making a new vfx, i could sorta understand the delay. Maybe they were trying but just gave up

[wise pecan]

You’d think that running a flashing strobe light across the player’s screen would be the sort of thing to be treated as an emergency rather than an “as convenient” issue

[bleak tulip]

restoring the old was just the least effort thing they could do while continuing work on more important issues like crashes, as there is still crash fixes in every update

crashes are like an order of magnitude more important than missing features, rare gameplay breaking bugs and exploits etc, people dont seem to understand this

same with, controvertially, cash store fixes like people not getting cosmetics they paid for, because that is a legal thing

[clear heath]

ok but flickering a blue light repeatedly in people's face is probably an urgent issue

[bleak tulip]

but people will still go "THEY HAVE TIME TO FIX THE CASH STORE BUT WONT ADD $feature, THE GREED" because they just dont know better

[clear heath]

And it's not just psyker players it affects. I could literally do it to other people

[bleak tulip]

and its not a good look

[clear heath]

that shit flashes blue for everyone around them

[bleak tulip]

thats why it got solved haphazardly in the next hotfix by just reverting a change that someone spent time and money on doing

its literally wasted effort right now in a time when that really hurts

they took it seriously

[sour olive]

I find it harder to see marked stuff than vermintide

[clear heath]

and i think that's a fine way to solve it. It just took longer than i was expecting

[bleak tulip]

they likely just are simply not set up to throw out tiny baby hotfixes like that and just merge it into a weekly one

[sour olive]

especially when someone using a flamer

[wise pecan]

I think flames obscuring sight lines is a deliberate choice

[bold flint]

oh huh, i totally thought the force sword's push attack did a small amount of damage

[brisk panther]

go heresy high intensity. pick a map where you have high grounds on open areas. go with a premade group. when you get the opportunitiy you have to be quick to tell your teammates "dont kill these elites please". start with 2 normal BB, then ability -> 3 more BB. done

[bold flint]

but it straight up just does zero

[bleak tulip]

why did you think that

other pushes dont do damage either

[bold flint]

i said push attack

[bleak tulip]

yeah which is just a push for FS

[clear heath]

Also i'm just curious, does anyone know what the problem with these were?

[bold flint]

which is the only weapon not to deal damage on a push attack

hence my amazement

[bold flint]

no idea , want em back

[bleak tulip]

there was a setting in the options that was turned off by default for stronger outlines

you dont want em back, they were really distracting and ugly

[wise pecan]

Alternatively to the other guy’s suggestion, if you have a level 15 veteran friend, just run private matches with them. If five (shot)gunners light up in the first room when they press F, go for it. If they don’t, just quickly throw the run and repeat. First room spawns tend to be huge, and the first room tends to have good sightlines

[brisk panther]

define push attack please

[clear heath]

I had them on.
I just wonder what was so bad about them that warrants removing the option from the game

[bleak tulip]

you already got the xray thing that serves that purpose plenty

[bold flint]

after you push, the followup attack

hence, push attack

[bleak tulip]

idk I found them really thick and ugly and distracting

[clear heath]

They were ugly sure, but it was just an optional thing that i liked having

[bleak tulip]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[daring crown]

thanks

[wise pecan]

The X-ray effect is very subtle. I preferred the proper outlines. Then again, I also liked having the thick-ass green outlines on in VT2

[daring crown]

ok that sounds like a good alternative thanks

[clear heath]

yeah same

[bleak tulip]

the ones in DT were like VT outlines but worse, thicker and animated iirc

[brisk panther]

btw this assumes that you are running 3rd lvl30 feat

[bleak tulip]

kind of distracting

[clear heath]

Like they look ugly as hell but i like the clarity it gives me

[bleak tulip]

they should just add a regular flat outline as an accessibility option back in

[wise pecan]

I kinda liked them as a stylistic thing, though I can see why others don’t and would prefer just normal outlines

[bleak tulip]

Someone in anither thread posted a screenshot where the outlines glitch out. The lines go straight up into the air and it looks like the player is being beamed up to the Starship Enterprise.

[clear heath]

I get what they were going for, but it looked really ugly imo.
I still had them on though

[raw breach]

oh shit, i just noticed they changed Kinetic Shield feat

[wise pecan]

Darktide is in general a very low contrast game, so anything that makes players/enemies easier to differentiate is good for me

[clear heath]

I've never had it glitch out before, but fair enough

[bleak tulip]

musta been frequent or replicatable enough to remove it

[wise pecan]

I never saw it either

[raw breach]

It used to be Warp Charges, but now it scales with Peril

[clear heath]

yeah they changed it in the hotfix

[raw breach]

How did I miss that in the patch notes?

[wise pecan]

Neat. I would say that that could be nice with peril blocking, but mutually exclusive lmao

[bleak tulip]

you didnt it wasntt in there

[clear heath]

it wasn't in the patch notes

[bleak tulip]

pre christmas stress really got to the documentation

[raw breach]

[bleak tulip]

wild guess

CM's can only post what they have in the patch notes

so if the documentation didnt say someone changed it they didnt know

the peril bug also wasnt in the notes

[wise pecan]

Yep yep

[bleak tulip]

aqshy went and confirmed it later though

probably legit asked around for it

[wise pecan]

Yeah the bug confirmation could have easily literally just been him (her? Idk) asking around the office if that was an intentional thing lol

[cedar oak]

peril bug?

[bleak tulip]

dont worry about it

[stuck basalt]

no bug in this game

[clear heath]

perfect game, ready for release

[bleak tulip]

void peril generation working as intended, dont ask questions

rule number 1 of void club

[lusty salmon]

well when i can change blessings op warp fire staff does 10% dps to all besides unarmoured but they die ez anyway ill be changing terrifying barrage for warp nexus

[void anvil]

wait soooo, deflection + block with peril first + kinetic shield would be really good now right?

[near wyvern]

Yes but just be aware that block cost reduction is bugged with peril on block, it actually increases the peril cost of blocking

[clear heath]

it's what

since when?

[void anvil]

Well hopefully that gets fixed soon then

[near wyvern]

Saw some discussions today, haven't confirmed it myself. But apparently curios with block % cause you to take more peril damage from hits

[clear heath]

wtf

[loud mist]

Guys this game is going to be sick af when it comes out of CBT

[void anvil]

I think a deflection build like that thats more melee focused for waves with a trauma staff for big guys could be really interesting

Especially since trauma staff has that unique rending blessing and AMAZING stun

[digital narwhal]

Tfw a Plague Ogryn spawns in front of your whole team and then enemies start spawning behind you, so you either let the Plague Ogryn fling you off the map or run into gunfire.

[clear heath]

but wait, i remember seeing a vid of someone tanking a demonhost, tried it myself with 0% block cost reduction and noticed the other person took less peril damage than me, which could only happen if they had block cost reduction and it actually functioned.
Either this isn't true or it's a recent bug

Or it's some jank like maybe it works on weapon perk but not curios

[near wyvern]

This might be it, stamina on curios is bugged as well

[cedar oak]

so this is why i have blown up like 4 times today

me with +3 deflector and+ 56% block eff

[cyan notch]

how does that blow you up

[clear heath]

oh this https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/block-effiency-causes-you-to-generate-more-peril-with-the-peril-when-blocking-perk/70868

I wonder why my result was different.
Either it's specific to curios or maybe it's something specific to deflector force swords, since i was comparing dueling swords at the time

[near wyvern]

Yeah that's the one

[near wyvern]

Might be specific to curios

Is it just me or are anyone else's Damnation randos allergic to wound curios?

me

[celest oar]

watch me get +xp and +curio

[cyan notch]

i just stack health

[potent echo]

health simple

maybe you want 1 toughness to tank 1 burst

[cyan notch]

nah i dont get chipped with default toughness

[celest oar]

then you wouldnt need health either

[deft fiber]

Thing is why would you play around being downed?
Like, if you are assuming that you'll get downed a lot, so why to be a burden to you team. For sure, you can take wound while you are in learning curve, but not sure if it's worth it.
Anyway. Randoms usually don't give a shit about others and themself as well. Need a time for playerbase to settle and get more skill, so you can rely on randos in damnation.

[cyan notch]

no health is good for sticky situations where u take some damage

so lucky it IMMEDIATELY happened again lol

[meager plinth]

2 MALLEUS MONSTRONUM GOTTEN

[potent echo]

nice lmao

[near wyvern]

I believe 1 extra wound is more beneficial than 30 extra HP or 20 extra toughness just for the case IF you go down.

So many times I have done a pug and the veteran just keeps on shooting while I am there next to him under a dog.

[deft fiber]

Well, people have different approaches on with who they are playing with. While playing with pugs i would prefer not to get downed, because i don't know their capabilities at clutching situations. So i will learn to play more safe/better. So in this situation it doesn't matter if i have 1 or more plus wounds. Toughness/hp are more welcomed stats for me. Since stacking toughness will give me more breakpoints.
Playing with static strike squad will have different approach for sure and etc. I don't say that it's bad to stack wounds or take just 1, it's totally depends on a person. But for me, it's pretty not really viable strategy to rely on reses from pug teammates.

[vivid merlin]

perks for purgatus?

[potent echo]

crit chance

you get double soulblaze stacks on crit

i was always running the lighting one

I recommend going out and trying out all the staves in at least haz3

[meager plinth]

not much, it affects only the waves not the DoT

[deft fiber]

Next 2 days i'll spend on convincing people to make run on heresy+ less than in 20 minutes.

[jovial quail]

Crit + Burn are the 2 most important factors on purg staff imo.

[mild hornet]

thought so

and cloud radius?

[stuck basalt]

soul burn depends on damage modifier? otherwise not important

[meager plinth]

cloud radius good

[jovial quail]

I personally would rather have 80% on everything and like 40% cloud radius

Less obscuring screen for you and teamates, and super easy to just 360 with it anyways.

[stuck basalt]

i like max quelling speed

[meager plinth]

cloud radius affect your effective range

[jovial quail]

Oh? Interesting

i'll need to test it out to see how much a like 40% and 80% has difference

[echo parrot]

I personally would rather have a two handed force sword

[meager plinth]

from 10.00 to 17.50

its pretty important

[orchid nacelle]

you should just gain a warp charge when you cast brain burst

regardless of whether it kills or not

[valid lake]

[mild hornet]

is that measured in freedom units or in dirty commie units?

[stuck basalt]

radius not important really, you barely notice the difference

it’s like regular flame, but blue. blue fire is cooler. it’s what everyone tells me

[orchid nacelle]

She told me I was a real catch

[meager plinth]

you could be one of those skulls if you really tried

[fringe garden]

Good one

[cyan notch]

do it

[meager plinth]

do it

[echo parrot]

Nah, the moment has passed

[meager plinth]

but tbh the real babe is the mutie

look at those curves

[half iron]

it’s so hot watching the mutie solo that group of veterans in the intro

[meager plinth]

genetically enhanced to give better hugs too

[echo parrot]

I want to hit up sniper but I think they would only be into a long distance relationship.

[meager plinth]

sniper still flexing their scoped lasgun on us

[remote tusk]

Perks and blessings to go for on this?

[valid lake]

i love muties one jacked arm

[orchid nacelle]

that's a long-las actually

[meager plinth]

its a lasgun with a longer barrel

[orchid nacelle]

and yet we don't have one

[half iron]

our trust level isn’t 31

[supple skiff]

something else thatll be overtuned for vets lol

[valid lake]

i believe its in the data mine

[orchid nacelle]

thank god

[void anvil]

actually why didnt they make the max trust level 40

[half iron]

not enough cutscenes in the budget

[meager plinth]

ye dont we have like, 3 more weapons till we reach the promised 70?

[valid lake]

they ran out of characters to tell you i don't know your name and i don't trust you go do more work

[void anvil]

everyone has to buy the egghead psyker helm cosmetic before they can afford more plot

[half iron]

“i do not know your name, crewmate. do more tasks, or else you will be voted out like an impostor.”

[hallow obsidian]

[half iron]

psyker collars are top tier head cosmetics

[vivid merlin]

top tier toilet fetish

[jovial quail]

So just to make sure, this is a max of 4% power? If so what the actual hell is the point of it other than putting an absolute garbage blessing in the game as a filler lol

[orchid nacelle]

psyker drip be like

okay maybe zealot too

[half iron]

i was about to say, that is very zealot-like

must cover their face to be more zealot-ey

[jovial quail]

I'm still pretty happy with the penance gear (Plus imperial helm, but a hood looks just as good) I have no idea what they were smoking when making all of the psyker's pay for cosmetics but i'm actually happy, have no ambition to spend money atm because of it lol

[hallow obsidian]

why is the 80% damage lower damage then yours lol

[jovial quail]

The little tubes on the gloves forever bother me though, they're not even connected to anything

[orchid nacelle]

first target

shows the damage accounting for the first target

[meager plinth]

best drip

[half iron]

why psyker has best cosmetic!!!!
•less sleeves!
•among us!
•camo pants

[echo parrot]

Wonder when we are going to get another prem shop drop

[meager plinth]

should be today

[orchid nacelle]

i choose to wear prison clothes to spite the inquisition by not wearing my mandatory explode-your-own-head-if-you-get-possessed collar

[echo parrot]

Really now

[half iron]

weird way to say 2 weeks from now

[jovial quail]

Yeah... lol those mf'ers dipped and are drinking boxed wine somewhere in the world right now

[alpine portal]

I like to see the chain incorporated like from the prison uniform

[cyan notch]

among us

[half iron]

among us

[orchid nacelle]

among us

[echo parrot]

amogus

[meager plinth]

📮

[half iron]

this is like that moment in warhammer 40,000: darktide where the “plot” was an overextended session of among us

[echo parrot]

ඞ

[orchid nacelle]

i think brain burst is possibly the least interesting psyker "damage a single target" skill they could have drawn inspiration from

in a world where we have things like Crush or Strip Soul

[meager plinth]

tickle their brains till they drop

[half iron]

“fuck you specifically” is best attack

[orchid nacelle]

there are so many other options for that

[meager plinth]

and with psyker protectorate we prob wont get an offensive skill either

maybe with the blitz idk

[orchid nacelle]

I wish it were Crush instead

[hallow obsidian]

i wish i have friend for the t4 penance

[valid lake]

tanky psyker you say hmm

[echo parrot]

Telepathically recite all of One Piece lore from start to finish in the span of 3 seconds is best attack.

[orchid nacelle]

i would really like having the option to fixate on a single enemy to burst them down rather than having to repeatedly re select them with brain burst

[meager plinth]

all 3000 one piece episodes in 2 seconds

[half iron]

my brain burst telepathically exposes all victims to the experience of chewing 5 gum

[echo parrot]

Daemonhost is a psyker confirmed.

Daemonhost class when

[jovial quail]

@hallow obsidian Just got some random ogyrn with a shield tank a daemonhost for me for like 1 min, also helped a guy get his as a kinetic deflector psyker lol. Can just kite infinitely for them

[echo parrot]

(Dont kill me loreheads I am shitposting)

[half iron]

daemonhost mains when the horde walks around them

[orchid nacelle]

daemonhost uses Life Leech

[warped pilot]

[meager plinth]

demonhost teaches you algebra till you collapse

[orchid nacelle]

if it were crush you would be compressed into a tiny sphere of bleeding flesh and bones

[meager plinth]

Imagine if thats how trauma staff would work

[hallow obsidian]

i playd ofer 20 games but never had this luck or the other teammats dont interrupt

[orchid nacelle]

it's called trauma because it traumatizes enemies from laughing at you for using it

[meager plinth]

crush them

[vivid merlin]

The work is complete
Our prayers have been answered
I trust you are pleased, varlet?
A new marvel is awoken
Splendid
It is done
Praise the Omnissiah
Interesting
The Machine God is most generous
And what do we have here?

im trying to reroll a curio just fucking kill me

[echo parrot]

You are a psyker. You can blow up your own head. Stop being lazy.

[orchid nacelle]

what are good curio stats for psyk

[half iron]

my hungry ass can’t be a zealot preacher

[echo parrot]

Ability cooldown and toughness regen are my gotos

But good fucking luck getting all the perks you want in a curio

[meager plinth]

stack 3 wound curios so you can detonate more

[echo parrot]

at least one +1 wound is ideal

Because heresy+ only has 2 wounds by default

[vivid merlin]

I have pressed this button at least 300 times

[half iron]

maximize wound. explode more

[echo parrot]

Keep pressing your button rat. Eventually you will get the treat you want.

[meager plinth]

one day

[vivid merlin]

it's just not the same unless they charge me aquilas for every button press

I wanna be findomed by hadron

[meager plinth]

Hadron is just gotta shoot you

[orchid nacelle]

wouldn't it be funny and cool if they released every subclass for every class all at once haha

[remote tusk]

Recycle me into a servitor mommy

[vivid merlin]

haha just kidding of course... unless?

[orchid nacelle]

if you lose my servo-skull i shall look to you for a replacement

[vivid merlin]

Do not lose the servo-skull

Imbeciles

[jovial quail]

Servo-skull cosmetic for the backpack slot please

[vivid merlin]

UNLEASH THE POWER OF THE SERVO-SKULL

[orchid nacelle]

monstronum chest gets a little servo skull on his belt

[valid lake]

i would kill for anything in that slot

[vivid merlin]

ok typing that out made it happen

[meager plinth]

cosmetics that turn your character in a servitor similar to what grendyl uses during the "I AM WARRIOR" sequence

[vivid merlin]

cosmetics that turn my character into a small beanbag

[remote tusk]

That sequence was fantastic

[meager plinth]

honestly yeah

[hallow obsidian]

[vivid merlin]

I AM A WARHIER

[meager plinth]

hopefully we get more like that when more updates will come

[half iron]

cosmetics that constantly cover me in warpfire

[remote tusk]

They hired Dan Abnett to write for them. If they just used him for that scene and the background lore it seems like such a waste

[orchid nacelle]

i hope we eventually get to fight alongside gun servitors that sorta totter about and placidly state Imperium propaganda in an incredibly nonplussed voice while mowing down enemies with their mounted autoguns

[vivid merlin]

it's hilarious that there's so much actually interesting lore about the moebian 6th and tertium that is only found in blog posts

and the extent of your exposure to it in-game is environmental

and all you get in the campaign is SHUT UP IDIOT GO BACK TO WORK

[valid lake]

its supposed to be a live service seasons kinda thing

[meager plinth]

well tbh the npcs are very nice compared to how they should be treating us

we even have a bar somewhere

[half iron]

“you’re not dead. ok.”

[vivid merlin]

even if that's true there's no reason for them to have started the launch campaign so shitty and anemic

it literally would have been better if there wasn't a "campaign"

and the promised Abnett story came later

[remote tusk]

Yeah when my psyker screams "I cant control it" I would expect a bolt to the cranium

[half iron]

that just happens even without containing the silliness

[meager plinth]

theres even a hadron voiceline where she likes us

gonna try to find it again

[half iron]

wasn’t it something like “good varlet”?

[remote tusk]

And something about enjoying our conversations

[meager plinth]

this one

like what the hell

how dare she like us

[remote tusk]

Alternative take

after our discussions. Meaning existence was less agreeable when we were talking to her

[half iron]

seeing as we opened our mouths only to our fellow inmates and zola for like, 5 seconds, i can see why

[echo parrot]

What psyker personality did you choose?

[meager plinth]

forgot the name but the one where they talk to their beloved

[steel flame]

Zazy has decided to take long break from darktide. The disappointment has been building and it's making the game not fun so I believe I shall be parting ways with darktide for the foreseeable future.

[cyan notch]

i have that line on the french girl psyker too

[meager plinth]

french

[half iron]

swag personality type

[cedar oak]

first 4x 80%

[meager plinth]

who needs to talk to people when you got a funny voice in your head

perfect for introverts

[half iron]

my beloved fights alongside me and you can’t change the fact.

[meager plinth]

BULWARK. (DONT ARGUE, IT IS)

[valid lake]

the beloved is the emperor

[charred marten]

he is there in spirit!

[half iron]

he still fights alongside me

think of it like viktor reznov in black ops 1. my beloved is with me, trust me.

[cyan notch]

kravchenko steiner dragovich

[meager plinth]

or I like the dream related voicelines

[valid lake]

i love the 4th wall breaking one

[meager plinth]

the foreshortened lifespans?

[valid lake]

yep

[meager plinth]

they got a few more where they talk using parentheses which are pretty good

[acoustic spade]

I wish there was a way to deny a rez

[alpine portal]

?

[meager plinth]

what

[acoustic spade]

I got rezzed into bomber flames that killed me before I could move out of them

[alpine portal]

oof.

[orchid nacelle]

you know

it would be funny and in-character if holding right click with brain burst while aiming at an enemy would keep them in that stunned state that locking onto them does

they just start writhing around on the ground in pain while grabbing their skull

roleplay as a real psyker and indulge in the suffering you cause

you go into a trance and the warp begins to overtake you as you inflict pointless suffering

then boom, possessed

just like the books

[meager plinth]

fun gameplay elements

[orchid nacelle]

are there any new staves datamined

[mild canopy]

are any new cosmetics datamined, i wanna know if i can buy the vet helmet and cosplay as krieg soldier or wait with my aquilas

[lilac mesa]

that would be bad ass

[distant pelican]

Most likely wont be any new before 2023, and you currently have no Gasmask on Psyker atm

[mild canopy]

need more gas masks

[distant pelican]

Most likely won't happen on the Psyker, sadly.
Wolfdawgartcorner did a Krieg Psyker that was quite nice

[meager plinth]

who?

[ebon jolt]

Hm...

Wonder if the blessing crafting would allow me to slap a 21% health or 17% toughness on this.

[echo parrot]

I need need to roleplay a psyker in order to partake in my extracurricular activities.

[orchid nacelle]

every Tide has its Dark

[next pine]

Does damage on a purg staff only affect the direct damage or does it interact with burn damage?

[lilac mesa]

the burn stat affects burn tick dmg
