psyker-class

[bleak tulip]

if you pull DH two times in one mission im letting you fuckin die

[weary wasp]

[cyan notch]

wait this is a bug?

this post is so old too

[flint turtle]

I mean

If it is a bug

I haven't noticed

[bleak tulip]

I only really noticed when dodge dancing after running my stam bar empty

kinda doubt its a bug

[flint turtle]

I mean it makes sense

I wouldn't mind if dodging took stam

[cyan notch]

i thhought everyone knew about it

i definitely noticed it

[flint turtle]

I hope they don't fix it

It makes sense

Plus, makes spam less effective

[manic needle]

Wait, you can get Transfer Peril on Trauma Staffs...?

Does it even do anything?

[flint turtle]

The out with a bang experience

[bleak tulip]

left click only

[manic needle]

lmaoooo

[bleak tulip]

but hey at least its free on a headshot

[mystic dirge]

I wasn't going to boom myself because I thought we had a chance of surviving

and then I see the team list lol

[manic needle]

Epic Fatshark Moment

[fresh reef]

Technically, you can hit weakspots with right click but it's beyond jank

[weary wasp]

Dodge stops the stamina regen for a moment

I highly doubt it's a bug

[fresh reef]

I mean it got acknowledged

[celest hedge]

i keep forgetting that you can bop people with the staves

[fresh reef]

Usually translates to "mm yes bug 👍"

[fresh reef]

I kinda wish it did damage sometimes

It would be funny

[bleak tulip]

I'd like to see someone actually hit a weakspot with trauma right click tbh

[celest hedge]

if maybe it had a charge effect kind of similar to the warp sword but weak

[bleak tulip]

fairly sure you cant do that

[weary wasp]

Stave melee is just a fancy push

[fresh reef]

11 damage on unarmored

[celest hedge]

like you can do a charge hit that has an extra effect based on the staff

[fresh reef]

Using the goofy targeting range, it's possible but extremely difficult to do even in meat grinder

[bleak tulip]

how would that even work

[fresh reef]

Like, in order for it to be consistent you'd need the enemy to be tposing on a perfectly flat area

[bleak tulip]

I am by no means a trauma expert but every time I fucked around with it it just hits like a purg hits

[fresh reef]

Stand far enough away and the target reticle only moves on the Y axis

[bleak tulip]

that seems like a bug lol

[fresh reef]

It sure seems like one

[celest hedge]

Is trauma the one with the charge thing on the ground?

[fresh reef]

Don't remember if conflag staff ever did that

[fresh reef]

Yes

[orchid venture]

that was fucking disappointing

clutched it out 3 damn times in that mission, saving everyone

and we all die at the end cause I misjudged how far you dodge with the dueling saber, and flew off a cliff

[celest hedge]

You see no one using that past level 5 when you unlock it, it just feels like a worst version of a veteran nade

Doesn’t really kill since most enemies not on the center just get pushed around

[orchid venture]

it really should do more for how much peril it gives for using it a single time

[near wyvern]

Yeah trauma needs either a damage & radius buff or lesser peril cost

Currently void strike is just the better trauma if you want that kind of gameplay

[old crystal]

better staff*

It's...just the best lol.

[weary wasp]

Void is good for trash but it's pretty bad on higher difficulties

Still good for trash tho

[near wyvern]

It's not the best staff. Purge, surge and void each have their strengths and weaknesses

The best all-around staff for high difficulties is purge but it forces you to deal with ranged using BB

[weary wasp]

That reminds me of void users who only spam uncharged secondary...

[runic gate]

Lets go who needs pick n mix, perfect map is up rn

[bleak tulip]

compared to what

[weary wasp]

Surge or purg. I used to roll with void until switching to the two

[bleak tulip]

ngl I tried purg on heresy several times and I dont see how not having a range option other than BB even remotely outclasses the lower effort horde clear

[weary wasp]

The range is still only ever useful against clusters or hordes on void, where picking off elites or specials takes a while even with headshots. With maxed cloud purg is still a good 20 ish meters distance

[bleak tulip]

you can kill gunners in two hits and snipers in one void

bombers in one too

trappers in like two

at any range

[river sand]

and 20m is the average range you can piss

[weary wasp]

Which is also a single bb for each of those

[river sand]

dont forget the tremendous amount of suppression void has

[bleak tulip]

which is still slower

even with KB

[weary wasp]

Granted you can hit crowds too

[river sand]

and the ability to kill gunners in cover

[bleak tulip]

while I shoot a sniper or bomber I am still shooting through hordes usually too

its also more reliable to hit than BB if there is anything else near the target

[weary wasp]

I think you can get double projectile on crit blessing for void? Either way I kinda dumped it for the time being

[river sand]

purg is overrated, yes its great against horde but horde is nothing a good old mk5 or devils claw cant handle

[weary wasp]

Purg has the best synergy with current class takents

[river sand]

it has

[weary wasp]

It also melts elites and specials

[bleak tulip]

because it has any synergy, thats not really a big challenge

[river sand]

but great synergy on a limited staff makes it still limited

[weary wasp]

Minus crushees ofc. Plus boss damage dot

[bleak tulip]

void still kills the same elites while also horde clearing too tho

you can infinitely stagger ragers if you keep hitting them too

[weary wasp]

I used to diss on purg too until trying out max cloud + max burn with 30-2 talent

[bleak tulip]

im not dissing on purg, I think its fun and I wish it wasnt so limited

[steel egret]

I have 380 purga but it has low cloud

[weary wasp]

It's as limited as zealot flamer

[steel egret]

Sad

[weary wasp]

If it wasn't, it would be broken

[river sand]

purg has its spot but its not the holy grail like ppl like to praise it

[bleak tulip]

yeah except zealot flamer does more damage, zealot flamer just takes longer to reload

also it leaves zealot more limited too

[steel egret]

Havent used purga since beta

[bleak tulip]

because zealot has literally nothing other than charging into gunners left at that point

[weary wasp]

People praise whatever is their staff if choice. The most praised is surge, since it benefits everyone in team

[bleak tulip]

ngl I havent seen anyone praise surge in a while here

probably because the people playing it quit because its so boring

[river sand]

i'll praise it again when they allow it to roll blazing spirit

[weary wasp]

It's fine, if you get good rolls and build for crit/flak damage

[steel egret]

If they removed run'gun blessing.

[weary wasp]

But if you're just 120 power cc bot then yeh. It's miserable

[river sand]

most ppl use it wrong anyway, in 90% of time you should use it to stun and close distance to wrack havoc with your mk5

[steel egret]

Highest surge staff 362, huge oof considering rest are 380 or over 370.

[river sand]

the other 10% are elites staggering

[bleak tulip]

even a max roll surge doesnt do shit for damage man

lets be real

[weary wasp]

Surge has enough damage to easily kill maulers and crushers in bulk

[river sand]

it does quite good dmg on armoured elites if you aim it right

[runic gate]

Anyone free to pick n pix? Need 1 more.

[weary wasp]

Dreg gunners too, flak zerkers, etc

[runic gate]

Striketeam 2

[weary wasp]

But it's armor only damage

[river sand]

just gotta take care that the end of animation extra damage hits the right targets

[bleak tulip]

dreg gunners? you mean scab gunners right

dreg gunners dont have armor

[weary wasp]

I always confuse the two

Either way full charge one shots a generic armored shooty boy

And best part is that they can be anywhere in the room, it will still kill in bulk

Which is prob why I stepped away from void. Killing one shooter at a time can become... Tedious

[river sand]

for me best is void with high crit and surge blessing

[weary wasp]

Yes crit is important

[river sand]

unfortunatley i have surge only on a pretty low rolled void

[bleak tulip]

I mean if you have to run up to the gunners first to even get em because surge range is like 20 meters?

youre putting yourself out there and I am not surprised people think deflector is mandatory

[weary wasp]

Can zap from behind a wall, plus I'm a filthy FS deflector yser with 60% block eff

[bleak tulip]

also crit on void is pretty dog tbh

[weary wasp]

Cuz I hate gunners specifically

[bleak tulip]

only gets base crit and it only rolls on each charged attack, not per target

[weary wasp]

What was the blessing for two projectiles on crit? Is it primary only!

? *

[bleak tulip]

its also rare as fuck and just kind of not very good

[river sand]

called surge and works for rmb too

[weary wasp]

Well there you have it

[river sand]

and paired with crit its amazing

[weary wasp]

Granted nothing beats quell on headshot for void still

Just free shots 24/7

[weary wasp]

Never got it

[bleak tulip]

wouldnt be surprised if its another tier 4 only

[steel egret]

Never had one

[bleak tulip]

since it doesnt seem to be scalable

which means its on the rare blessings list like deflect but it only rolls as a 4 so its doubly rare

only seen a few of these posted

honestly doesnt seem good because crits already grill everything when they happen

[magic burrow]

what does that even do?

[steel egret]

When critical 2 Balls

[weary wasp]

+1 stamina comes as both t3 and t4, whatever that's worth

[magic burrow]

crit is rolled when you cast it and not on impact then, I assume

[bleak tulip]

I mean thats a perk

[steel egret]

Yes

[bleak tulip]

that doesnt really mean that its the same for blessings

and with the other one for FS that gives you 5 seconds of crit on special activation kill its only ever been posted as a 4

[bleak tulip]

and yes, can confirm

[night marten]

LOL this was incredible https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zxi5ws/darktide_my_favourite_clicker_game/

[weary wasp]

All crits are on attack

That's why you can crit thin air

Not sure how it works with zealot bleed tho. Maybe only applies bonus when directly targeting the bleeding enemy?

[lethal plover]

Any info on when the next patch arrives?

[idle bay]

I'm both eagerly waiting for next pact and afraid of it... because you know Psyker nerfs 🙂

[lethal plover]

Man

[clear heath]

can't wait for next patch where they delete psykers from the game

[weary wasp]

They either drop it this week or... They are all on holidays rn

[steel egret]

Would have dropped yesterday right?

[magic burrow]

the black ships are coming

[idle bay]

Class will be renamed into - veteran clumsy-shooter. Class features and feats removed, force weapons removed, guns and non force melee weapons will stay. Stats (Toughness, Health and Stamina) will remain the same.. for reasons 🙂

[magic burrow]

new patch, made staves even less likely to show up in the shop. By the way here's another post mission laspistol. Good job. You deserved it.

[opaque mason]

Anyone noticed that machine gun Voidstrike tech is harder/more inconsistent with Quietitude feat active?

[steel egret]

Helper boy help assistant

[heady swan]

Okay yeah i mean yeah I mean okay I mean yeah.

This works.

I am just thankful to the beneficent emperor that it wasn't fucking limbsplitter.

[whole wharf]

Limbsplitter....

What a funny blessing

[heady swan]

That shit is heresy.

Actually ruins your weapon.

[whole wharf]

Mmhm

[heady swan]

Unless you're a psyker apparently but still that only makes me think it's heresy more

[cyan notch]

best not to expect anything

[magic burrow]

*gave the trauma staff a bit more oomph with new graphical effects

[hybrid stump]

anyone having tip on doing Going with a Bang peneace? like map or difficulty?

:"< I really need some advices, please

[rose gazelle]

i will never understand with someone rolling 380 base stats, and someone saying "it could be better"
my brother in christ it is the highest you can roll in stats

[fluid knot]

The mythical 400 green weapon

[hybrid stump]

are you human ?

[fluid knot]

No im a servitor

[hybrid stump]

😱

[light citrus]

A zealot weapon appear for psyker

My second Deflector

[worthy pulsar]

Hello! Does anyone have tips how to do penances for psyker ?
Like bang out of bomb and others ?

[weary wasp]

Premade parties
That's all

[worthy pulsar]

is there is a party who can help with it ?

[idle bay]

Not all. Also recomended to have mild sedative and anti-depresaants at hand's reach and good shrink after.

[weary wasp]

[raw breach]

[idle bay]

Even with premade and clear realisation what and how to do.. things may not go smooth 🙂

[wise pumice]

i've just read about the new crafting options supposedly coming in the future... and got rid of loads of weapons with pretty good blessings for coins... im a dumbass 😂

apparently you can do votive offerings to collect blessings for new weapons, super gutted.

[weary wasp]

I figured that would be the case from the get go, since I doubt theyd just let you pick whatever blessing you want

[wise pumice]

i wasn't sure. i've not played any of the other tide games and i know the option is there for reblessing, but i wasnt sure how the mechanics would work, and i wish i'd saved allllll the weapons for subsuming

[weary wasp]

Granted, no idea what they gonna do about blessing tiers still

[vagrant cedar]

by the time crafting fully comes out, you'll have more weapons than you'll know what to do with them

[cyan notch]

[frigid marten]

I just want to clean my inventory please fatshark. I’m sure i have sonething perfect in it but i have fear of losing my gear somewhere in the scrollbar of doom

[vagrant cedar]

it's only a game dude, where everything is random

who cares

wipe your whole inventory and start a new

[fringe remnant]

hmm 362 on a purgatus, or 380 on a lasgun?

There are a heap of feats for fire and none for guns, but the guns seem to do so much more damage than the staves.

[frigid marten]

I’m lazy

[vagrant cedar]

then forget about the game until it gets fully released

[weary wasp]

Just try both in play smh

[vagrant cedar]

an axe

[weary wasp]

Damage isn't everything

~~ even tho psyker gets raw 34% more damage vs elites on 4 warp charges and while in coherency~~

[fringe remnant]

I've played with them both a few times. The lasgun feels stronger, but it also feels like I should just be playing a class that has feats for that weapon

[weary wasp]

That's why I switched to purgatus after 2 other staffs

Vet just feels better with guns

[fringe remnant]

yeah, kinda spoiled for choice on the fire front, and yet even with all the right blessings and feats it still feels a fair bit weaker than veteran

[weary wasp]

Those are some good sticks

First time seeing blazing spirit. Delicious

[summer prairie]

t4 blazing spirit should be +4 and max of 12, might actually do something by that point

[fringe remnant]

yeah getting 5 critical hits on something is asking a lot of a force sword

[weary wasp]

It's not intended to be an independent source of damage, much like most of blaze talents

It stacks with other charge / refreshes them

[summer prairie]

It's questionable to assume much intent given how quickly things seem to have been thrown together

[weary wasp]

Let me cope with my wack ass class synergy

[summer prairie]

bloodthirsty+that should be decent especially since you'll cleave some targets but then you give up deflector

[fringe remnant]

i'd agree with you on most of the game, but the core combat seems to have had a lot of attention

that doesn't necessarily flow to all blessings though i suppose

[weary wasp]

Prob cuz it's based off vt2

[fringe remnant]

i could see how soulblaze would get oppressive if it were much stronger

[weary wasp]

Granted, visuals and cosmetics are leagues above, and gunplay isn't just musket's hitscan ragdoll on click

And yeh there is still a lot to work on, especially with psyker

Some say all classes but vet are bad but I think zealot is still good, minus some useless talents

[fringe remnant]

its just so weird that vet has such a powerful sword

psyk has to charge a force sword, the vet's sword is just that powerful all the time

[weary wasp]

It's not that great once you get a good 380 melee. But the buff on it is deff better than a friggin shove that most weapons got

[summer prairie]

it's still ridiculous, it cleaves for a lot more damage than anything elese

[weary wasp]

yeh 10 headshots minimum in one swing is a bit much

They mightv nerf it but brutal momentum is still there

[summer prairie]

the problem is the damage drop-off, brutal momentum by itself isn't that great if the later targets take 30 damage

the only reason it's pretty great on antax mkv is because the third target damage happens to be ~70 and apparently the following targets also take that

[paper wagon]

I hate how visually crippling force sword's block animation is.

When there's 30 shooters on me in Damnation, and I'm scooting my gay ass to some cover, can I see something besides a dusty ass windshield?

[vagrant cedar]

what

how did you get to 34% more dmg

[valid frigate]

How do I increase and keep my warp charge

[vagrant cedar]

10 is aura, and 3% per warp

[weary wasp]

3? thought it was 6

[fringe remnant]

once you pop, you just can't stop

psychic communion also helps

[vagrant cedar]

nahh it's 3 or 4 percent

i think 3

12% at 4

18% at 6

[hot zephyr]

It's 3% per charge, additive stacking

[weary wasp]

3

thats like

garbage. man

[vagrant cedar]

well

that's 12%

12% on an axe that does 280dmg

makes it over 300

which from 2 hits per mob

you go down to 1 shotting them

can be big

[ornate hamlet]

Best psyker melee weapon opinions?
I've been indecisioning between knife and force sword mostly.

[weary wasp]

meanwhile zealot just stacks 4% by slapping someone

[bright raft]

this is what I'm using atm

[vagrant cedar]

an axe

[ornate hamlet]

Which axe and why?

[weary wasp]

anything you rolled well

[vagrant cedar]

one with cleave cause high dmg

[ornate hamlet]

I found this just now,

[vagrant cedar]

no

the other axe

combat ones

[ornate hamlet]

Okay

[hot zephyr]

I like the chainsword personally, it's got a couple decent combos (heavy heavy light light for horde clear is a big one), it's activation does similar damage to a charged force sword, and will hit some key breakpoints like one shoting a hound or two shooting a mutant on damnation.

[vagrant cedar]

the goal is to have enough dmg/perks so that you can 1 shot mobs

so that you can manipulate the horde and shit

[random wolf]

Antax V basically lol

[vagrant cedar]

yes

if you 4 shot mobs with your axe

in that time it took you to land 4 heavy hits

it takes me to left click 6-7 mobs

if not more

• i see insta result

where mobs die

you just shove them a bit

• you can never be too sure you'll hit the same group

thus

Axe >

[ornate hamlet]

my choices atm

I'll try both of your suggestions when I can thank you.

I like the control offered by the surge staff with the suppress effect but I dislike the never having to aim component of the gameplay. Is there another option? I've found that my runs go much smoother with map control from surge.

[vagrant cedar]

Purge staff

[tawdry shell]

What is force sword good for

[hot zephyr]

Purge or Gun are also very good. A lot of people don't like the idea of gun psyker but it can be really good if you understand how to play it well

[tawdry shell]

what exactly does the shove for force sword do

[vocal iron]

force push

[tawdry shell]

it gets me some peril and does some damage

instead of a normal push it consumes peril

that's it?

[vocal iron]

you have to hold it to do the animation afterwards

that pushes them

its 2 part

[tawdry shell]

OH

SHIT

[ornate hamlet]

I assume recon lasgun with kinetic flayer?

[tawdry shell]

I HAVE BEEN USING IT WRONG

[vocal iron]

yeah the little baby grasp is just the first half

i was like damn this sucks till i figured it out

[tawdry shell]

yeah

same

that sword feels so bad to use

i'd much rather BB than use the charged attack

[vocal iron]

i think the only thing is has going that alot of people like is the deflector blessing

[ornate hamlet]

I like it

[cyan notch]

it stuns on hit so its great vs ragers/crushers/whatever specials

[vocal iron]

makes angry men do funny dance

[tawdry shell]

but man its horrible at clearing hordes

I am running this atm

its ok

doesn't really do much

I like my DS more

[cyan notch]

slaughterer and shred

[vagrant cedar]

and then you sit there, for 2 seconds locked in, totally not taking any damage from surrounding mobs

[cyan notch]

ur not supposed to be using it in a horde

[tawdry shell]

mt blessing is kinda for horde

[vocal iron]

dont mind the terrible dmg but thats the blessing

[tawdry shell]

still haven't found a deflector

[light citrus]

Voidstrike vs Purgatus

[ornate hamlet]

Also you can dodge while it's stuck in though yes I agree that should be changed to a contact stun and not a channeled one

[vocal iron]

yeah peddler and melk love selling dogshit to psykers

[light citrus]

my second Deflector

[tawdry shell]

pretty sure my blessing would be good on a horde clear sword

[toxic mountain]

I personally enjoy Voidstrike, nice blast of warp energy!

[vocal iron]

void fun

[light citrus]

Bleeding build Psyker work ?

[steel flame]

I....guess?

Sure why not

[tawdry shell]

I have this

[vocal iron]

?

[tawdry shell]

stats are wonderful

what does impact do

[steel flame]

Isn't that stagger?

[vocal iron]

i think so

i think its the stat that determines how strong the stagger is?

[vocal iron]

cuz i can kinda slap ragers around with that

[steel flame]

Dunno why they don't just say stagger. They really need to standardize all their descriptions and stuff

[tawdry shell]

I have no clue what the keywords say

wtf is rending supposed to mean

[light citrus]

This one

no one use Trauma?

[hot zephyr]

Autoguns work better imo, they have more damage. You don't wanna try and min max KF because it only triggers every 15s, you want a gun that compliments your melee weapon. If you plan to melee hordes and BB elites for example, then you want a gun that can take out specialists. I personally like the mk8 graia and mkv columbus because I like the full auto mag dump as a way to deal big burst damage to an important target that doesn't require a charge like BB

[glad cliff]

Trauma too slow and weak

[light citrus]

The cd of flayer not worth to use

[steel flame]

Tha wah?

Huh

[steel flame]

To each their own

[ornate hamlet]

I want a bolter

[steel flame]

And I wanna ride around on a warp unicorn with my beloved

[light citrus]

Gun build

[hot zephyr]

The mg12 kestral is similar if you can find a well rolled one. Not as much damage as a bolter but a similar playstyle and you'll hit the breakpoint with it required to one shot a lot of trash mobs

[hot zephyr]

It maintains your warp charge stack when you aren't BBing, that's what it's for. It occasionally helps you with single target damage but that's secondary to it's purpose

[light citrus]

4 stack Vs 6Stack

[round jay]

Depends on your build

[cyan notch]

new stonks record for me

[vagrant cedar]

look at that

took you what, 40-50minutes

and now you earned like 1/3 of a crafting roll

2 more and you can spin the wheel

woop woop

[cyan notch]

nah just 30mins

40mins is really really rare

[hot zephyr]

I heavily dislike this build. The only way to build/maintain your warp charges is via BB. If it works for you then whatever, but this wouldn't work for me.

[hot zephyr]

This is better since you can maintain a stack, but you'll struggle to regain toughness since only your BB killing blows will trigger warp absorb

[jade geode]

I have found that the key to enjoying Psyker is just saying fk warp charges, or using a build that passively generates them for you, and not worrying about it.

[hot zephyr]

I personally use 122133 as my gun psyker build

[jade geode]

I seriously doubt that a couple % more or less damage is going to seriously impact your gameplay either way, but sitting there stubbornly BBing single targetrs while your group is getting swarmed is definitely going to have an effect >~>

And yes, I have seen Psykers do this, and it makes me grind my teeth.

Or trying to BB targets that 1-2 Vets are lighting up

Or BBing a horde

Just because they're fking OBSESSED with keeping their stacks.

[hot zephyr]

Idea is that BB and KB use will build your stacks and KF will maintain them. You'll be constantly triggering Warp Essence to replenish your toughness every 15s when KF triggers a BB, and you'll be replenishing your KB (and teams) cool downs with Aura.

[light citrus]

DPS : Voidstrike VS Purgatus

[jade geode]

Purg wins in raw damage, but Void is slightly more versitle bc of it's range.

[random wolf]

Voidstrike for long ranged stagger and kills. Also not needing to stay out in the open.

You can peek in/ out of cover with Voidstrike

[jade geode]

^

[random wolf]

Also the size of the projectile is huge

[hot zephyr]

I agree. Good play is better than maintaining stacks. You need to always be helping your team proactively by preventing CC like trappers, hounds and mutants, and taking down crushers and bulwarks. Whether that's by stunning them or killing them doesn't matter.

[light citrus]

CC both can be done no worrie

[pale crescent]

Does anyone run any of the guns for their psyker?

[vagrant cedar]

so what will the team do then, sit on their asses and drink cocktails?

[jade geode]

I have a max level and well-geared Vet, if I wanna shooty, I play Vet 😛

[hot zephyr]

They are pushing forward and grinding towards objectives. Your job as the support is to watch their backs and sides, and pick off the above mentioned mobs where needed.

[light citrus]

I hate Vet kill my BBing target

[hot zephyr]

Sometimes doing nothing but maintaining situational awareness while your vet and zealot level the place is all you need to do

[vagrant cedar]

idk what kind of parties you got that you only have to deal with elites

but i'm jelly af

[jade geode]

Eh. I've said it before. Psyker is the best class at versatility and filling a need on the fly, IMO.

They may not be the best at any one thing, but they're great at filling gaps in a party, or taking over a role if someone is preoccupied or downed, etc.

[vagrant cedar]

true that

[jade geode]

You've got CC with your ult, horde clear with most staves, FS+Deflector trait is a discount slab shield.

BB for elites or ranged shooters in a pinch; again, not the best option, but an option nonetheless.

[hot zephyr]

I personally run mkv columbus or mkviii graia autoguns a lot. But it's most finding what works for you. Semi, burst, or full auto.

[jade geode]

For example, you can take purgatus staff, and still have an option against that sniper/gunner 30M away.
Zealot takes a flamer and they're fked waiting for someone else to kill that same special/elite.

Ogryn can take slab shield and have def against shooters, but slab shield is crap against single target.
Psyker can take FS w Deflector and have a panic option against ranged, and still have the special attack for ragers/maulers/etc.

Psykers are the kings of versatility.

[vagrant cedar]

PREACH

[jade geode]

🙂

[hot zephyr]

A special trick we can use too is with BB. You can hold left click and look at an area and determine if there are any enemies there. It's not perfect cus you need line of sight but it's a good little scouting trick when the enemy gets surpressed and takes cover

[vagrant cedar]

i feel like that's lv5 psyker knowledge

[jade geode]

Also, big tip: Tired of Vet's shooting your BB target?
Pre-charge it with Right-Click and then just delete someone. 😉

[vagrant cedar]

but even then sometimes you won't be able to tag enemies

cause they don't peek

only tags those who peek a boo

[hot zephyr]

You be shocked how many folks don't scout ahead with their psyker even in heresy/damn runs

Or at least that I've seen

[jade geode]

You can even pre-charge behind cover, dodge out, snap off a left click to BB someone, and dodge back into cover without taking ranged fore.

[pale crescent]

The anti-dog technique

[hot zephyr]

Hehe. That's always so satisfying when you do it to a hound

[vagrant cedar]

i mean, gamesense is a struggle to people in this game, i've seen zealots charge into 15-20 shooters on the first group of enemies in damnation, and i just watch them get destroyed and leave the game

[light citrus]

Battery VS Flayer

[vagrant cedar]

Axe >

[pale crescent]

We exist to pop hounds, muties and bursters, trappers which imo are the least fun in the game

[jade geode]

I honestly think taht most people that think Psyker is weak to other classes, just haven't taken the time to learn their strengths.
Other classes strengths are obvious, and you can lean on them easily.
Psyker takes some thought and some getting used to before it really shines.

[jade geode]

Flayer. 100%.

[light citrus]

4 stack Vs 6 Stack

[hot zephyr]

I use both. Battery on my purge build to combo with AB, and KF on my gun build

[jade geode]

More uptime on 2-4 stacks beats the hell out of working your way up to 6, painfully slowly, only for the engagement to end right as you cap out, and the stacks to drop off before the next time you fight.

[vagrant cedar]

he is weak tho

[pale crescent]

I struggle to get to 4 sometimes

[vagrant cedar]

he's only strong in first 3 diffs

it takes 3 BBs to pop a hound

[jade geode]

Yeah I'd say that's the exception. If you're using Purgatus staff and Ascendant Blaze, you might be able to make use of those 4-6 stacks.

[vagrant cedar]

2 to pop a bomber

his op drops alot in diff 4 and 5

[jade geode]

I play exclusively 4+ at this point.
1400hrs in VT2 and almost 300 in Darktide already. 😉

Trust me, I'm no newb playing at low levels ;P

[vagrant cedar]

let's be real, 280h of those hours you spend idling in the shop

[jade geode]

BB does drop off, you're correct, and it could probably use a slight buff there, but the rest of the class is still very strong. BB isn't your only tool.

[pale crescent]

Sadly I think I’m going to finish my last 5 levels of psyker then level Ogryn and move to VT2 until some serious work gets done

[jade geode]

I can't blame you. I'm starting to get fed up with the crafting issue.

[light citrus]

RNG too much

[pale crescent]

The Emperor won’t stop giving me Shredder auto pistols on every single character I’ve played

[jade geode]

Welp, back to my studies. GL out there, rejects.

[pale crescent]

Learn well Varlet

[jade geode]

May The Emperor protect.

[light citrus]

Emperor give me guns and shop too

[vagrant cedar]

until the next hour when the shop rerolls, see you in 43minutes

[tacit cargo]

Did they nerf it? I exclusively play 5 and I swear they drop in one

[vagrant cedar]

nope

takes 2

or 1 and some bit of damage

[pale crescent]

I’m not an addict I swear. But I have considered buying a steam deck just to check shops

[fringe remnant]

you can remote into a pc from a phone

[vagrant cedar]

you can't do 1.4k dmg with a BB

[light citrus]

bb IS 1000 dmg

[pale crescent]

I’ve remoted with my MacBook while working but fuck the load times

[tacit cargo]

I'm hopping into the pykhanium to check that, not saying youre lying but ive experienced differently

[cyan notch]

bb 1 shots on damnation:
gunners
shotgunners
bombers
trappers
snipers

[vagrant cedar]

feel free to dude

[orchid nest]

yeah bombers are 1, that health chart is wrong

[light citrus]

Use force sword

[vagrant cedar]

there's two types of bombers

kamikadze ones

[hot zephyr]

That feels right. Im 99% sure I've pooped bombers in one on damn

[vagrant cedar]

and those who throw a nade

1 pop = the nade ones

[silent trout]

one is a burster and one is a bomber

[vagrant cedar]

kamikadze ones = 2 pops

[tacit cargo]

those are bursters

[cyan notch]

those arent bombers

[pale crescent]

Isn’t there also an issue where training grounds Doesn’t = actual in game enemy damage, or is that just rumor?

[tacit cargo]

they take two yeah

[vagrant cedar]

yes i meant those ones

[tacit cargo]

then youre right

but you dont need to kill em on rnage

just push em

and dodge back

[vagrant cedar]

see i tried that

[tacit cargo]

or let your vet handle it

[vagrant cedar]

half the time you still get hit from aoe

[tacit cargo]

its kinda hard with the force sword

and you need the right timing

[hot zephyr]

Oh yeah. Burster you def can't BB. I tend to just shoot em at range when I hear the tick prompts

[tacit cargo]

but its the most reliable method

[vagrant cedar]

false

you use your team to take the damage

and you stay in the back

it's a team game, it's their job

i aint taking that chance

[hot zephyr]

Bonus points if your teammates get launched into a chasm and become casualty

[vagrant cedar]

then you give them shit for it, HOW DID YOU DO THAT

pretend you innocent

😏

[tacit cargo]

you dont always get the option for that sadly, but yeah i'd rather my zealot or vet handle them then me

Btw did anyone drop a force sword with bloodthirsty yet?

[orchid nest]

yeah someone had a video of it

[tacit cargo]

i hope we get to switch blessings later

i got a pretty nutty sword, but the blessings are not really BIS

the rest is aight tho

[orchid nest]

I would like to try a slaughterer and bloodthirsty sword but for just one offensive blessing I'd rather have slaughterer

[tacit cargo]

I want deflector on that for sure

[hot zephyr]

I've literally never seen anything with Slaughterer on it so far

I'd kill for savage sweep on my chainsword tho

So much cleave

[tacit cargo]

idk i dislike force sword melee generally, so i mainly use my sword for small groups, elites and specials in melee

idk how much mileage slaughterer would give on a weapon thats bad at killing groups

[stuck basalt]

drawing force sword animation take forever.

[tacit cargo]

I've got other decent melee weapons but i always come back

the special is just so strong

[orchid nest]

thats kind of the thing, it only feels useable on groups with slaughterer to the point that I won't use it without it

[tacit cargo]

fair neough i can see that

with a decent roll on the blessing

idk i'd like somewhat more effective animation rotation on the sword, the combos dont feel that good compared to other weapons

[fringe remnant]

yeah the light hits feel like a slap with a wet fish

[orchid nest]

the second light needs to be another diagonal coming from the other direction

[fringe remnant]

I've been trying out psykenetics wrath, and i think it can be good with the right force sword

[tacit cargo]

this feels a lot more usable for hordes for example, though the damage is comparatively lackluster it has very good stagger for control

[fringe remnant]

on a force sword with a max damage roll, the force sword feat takes your uncharged heavy attack over 300 damage, which is the breakpoint required to one hit kill poxwalkers on damnation

[orchid nest]

I have a t2 slaughterer and with infested roll on it and some combo of warp charges/the talent it will one shot damnation poxwalkers with a light attack to the head. so with a t4 one should be a lot easier/less investment to do it

[tacit cargo]

Heavy attacks, like in vermintide, dont increase on damage if you increase charge time of the attack

[tacit cargo]

Don't they explode in your face if you kill them in melee?

[cyan notch]

i think hes talking about uncharged as in not special activated

[tacit cargo]

ah ok

[fringe remnant]

yes

[tacit cargo]

fair

[cyan notch]

but some weapons do have charge states in vt2

[orchid nest]

walkers, the tougher horde ones. not bursters

[tacit cargo]

mb

misread

[inland sand]

Anyone else noticed the patch change to the force sword doesnt seem to be implemented

[orchid nest]

if you mean the aoe thing everyone was excited about it was just supposed to be a vfx change and they quietly moved it to the vfx section of the patch notes and changed the wording

[fringe remnant]

The other way to think about Psykenetics wrath is, we're rolling and rolling shops for a tiny damage increase.
Giving your force sword +15% damage is kind of equivalent to taking its damage modifier roll from 80% to 92%, which would be huge. Thats like taking a weapon from 380 modifier score to 440

[low fossil]

which force staff is the good one again?

my psyker is nearing level 30 so i need to figure which one to look for

i've basically just been meleeing every mission because Antax My Beloved

[light citrus]

What build you looking for

[low fossil]

honestly the only reason i rolled a psyker is because of antax's push attack+near infinite blocking from peril deflection, and that has been working REALLY REALLY well

so i guess something that kills shit at ranged very well since i'm fine with hoards?

[fringe remnant]

well that rules out the two most popular staves

you'll be wanting a void then

[light citrus]

Brain Burst will you want to maintain

[echo parrot]

What

[random wolf]

Surge for Elites and heavily armored groups with CC. Voidstrike for general purpose and longer range.

[orchid nest]

surge/purg/void are all good, will just be about playstyle and what role you want to fill

[echo parrot]

-and horde clear

[shut thorn]

Someone said void so I woke up

[random wolf]

Yeh. General Purpose included.

[random wolf]

Let's flex our staves

[shut thorn]

That's a bad bait attempt to get me to start the game

[random wolf]

You could look up images posted by you in this channel tho

[light citrus]

Purgatus

[echo parrot]

I cant start the game because some of us have to go to an office

[supple skiff]

void if you dont want to rely on everyone else to get gunner packs off you

[light citrus]

if you melee focus, Purgatus

[hot zephyr]

Yeah void or surge sounds like the right fit for what you want then. Depending if you want elite cc or to throw nukes

[shut thorn]

Idk I don't usually post the weps I use

[echo parrot]

Plus ive been rolling on my alt psyker

[low fossil]

surge is the lightning one?

[random wolf]

Yes.

[echo parrot]

Yes

[shut thorn]

There's this image but that's just stuff I want to rip blessings off of

[random wolf]

Tell me about it.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1053086951726661632/image.png

I need to replace Terrifying barrage

And upgrade warp nexus

[shut thorn]

ngl I'd just replace terrifying with quell peril

[supple skiff]

watch they dont drop crafting that precludes the user of previously attained gear in its systems

[echo parrot]

That void arouses me

[shut thorn]

I don't think u can mess with both blessings

[shut thorn]

Terrifying on staves is honestly a joke

[low fossil]

what's the difference between void and surge for killing a gun line (of actual elite heavy gunners, i mean)

[shut thorn]

W/ surge, you'll get recorded and made fun of in this channel

[random wolf]

Surge deals more damaged to heavily armored enemies and its a small AoE you can't really control. You point and it goes.

[supple skiff]

I was refering to scab and dreg ranged mobs

[shut thorn]

Unless you actually use the lmb on surge

[random wolf]

Void is more precise

[low fossil]

ah

[shut thorn]

Which surge users rarely use

[low fossil]

the left click seems to be the same on all staves?

[shut thorn]

no

[echo parrot]

Its dif on purg

[light citrus]

no

[supple skiff]

Ill be honest, ive seen what CC surge is capable of, and ive tried to emulate it with the push block on FS and the results have been decent

[shut thorn]

it's hitscan on the plasma gun (staff)

:)

[light citrus]

Melee focus go for purg

[shut thorn]

Surge is nice, I just don't like running it all the time

[orchid nest]

surge has the best "normal" left click though besides the unique purg one since it crits a lot

[fringe remnant]

if you just want to kill enemy elite gunners, just take a gun.

[shut thorn]

yeah and like 3/4 of surge users never lmb

It's really frustrating to watch a surge main just spam uncharged lightning at poxwalkers

[supple skiff]

wait, surge's lmb is different?

[orchid nest]

I know it's really sad, really slept on and rounds you out well.

[shut thorn]

it does v good dmg

[supple skiff]

better than void and trauma?

[shut thorn]

better than void iirc

[supple skiff]

weird

[shut thorn]

trauma better tho iirc

[low fossil]

anything in melee with me, i delete with my axe

[shut thorn]

surge's primary

has insanely high

crit chance

w/ a 380 roll

[low fossil]

ragers, maulers

crushers

idc

[shut thorn]

you'll get around 20-30% crit

[low fossil]

i just want a staff that kills shit that's far from me if i need it

[supple skiff]

I really dont like trying to aim with lmb on most staves

[shut thorn]

lmb on any staff except purg

[orchid nest]

it has the same damage profile and everything but surge has a critical bar that increases chance and damage

[supple skiff]

shit feels bad

[fringe remnant]

thats not really what staves do

[supple skiff]

makes sense

[low fossil]

i see

fair enough then

[light citrus]

BB

[shut thorn]

You can delete snipers easily at end of map w/ staff lmb, people just dont try it because the first time they tried lmb they had a 220 rating staff

[echo parrot]

lhs: "Oh fuck the ranged are just out of range of my surge what do I do!?"

rhs: "Left click"

lhs: "Pfft I aint using that weak-ass shit lol" gets downed

[light citrus]

Brain burst

[low fossil]

it takes me like 4 brain bursts to kill one reaper

[fringe remnant]

you'd achieve the same thing more easily with a gun

[shut thorn]

I'm not so sure about that, guns are lame

[supple skiff]

if you ult with barrage talent before hand BB feels and perfoms well enough

[shut thorn]

😎

[light citrus]

Staff For CC , Gun for killing

[shut thorn]

Maybe if it was a las pistol, it'd be cool

[supple skiff]

I do that for bulwarks

[echo parrot]

Tell me you are a gun psker without saying you are a gun psyker

[orchid nest]

surge will legit be very good against gunners if they fix dreg suppression because you have scabs covered already and it does good dmg and has good suppression on left click

[fringe remnant]

I really enjoyed Antax and revolver, Gives you that ability to take out anything at any range. you tried that out?

[shut thorn]

Void can pull double duty, stagger cc of stuff like reapers while deleting hordes

[low fossil]

revolver..i haven't

[supple skiff]

found the zealot

[shut thorn]

Las pistol is flat out superior if you rebind weapon swap

[echo parrot]

I did, on my vet, since vets kit actually compliments guns

[ebon jolt]

Surge still does garbage damage no matter how high crit chance gets 😑

[low fossil]

laspistols are cool

wym rebind swap

[supple skiff]

^ love to see it

[ebon jolt]

I thought getting a 380 surge staff would help but I still feel like I’m hitting things with a wet noodle.

[low fossil]

i'm playing psyker because of the increased stamina regen and infinite block meaning antax push attacks are Ludicrous

so i just dunno what to do for my gun slot

[shut thorn]

use surge to kill certain specials

[echo parrot]

Laser gatling comfirmed

[shut thorn]

and use the lmb

for everything else

on it

or more preferably

stun - > fs

[echo parrot]

antax makes me fall asleep

[supple skiff]

^

[fringe remnant]

what enemies do you struggle with the most?

[shut thorn]

same

i dont like using antax

its so boring

[supple skiff]

antax is big sleep

[shut thorn]

and ive gotten used to weapon swap attacks for force sword

[worthy pulsar]

Hello! I need some tips if you have, how to do the going out with a bang penance for Psyker ?

[shut thorn]

which look a lot more aesthetically pleasing

[orchid nest]

the left clicks 1 shot dreg gunners on crit headshots on damnation and it does good damage already of course against flak and carapace. but yeah obviously the damage will feel bad if you shock some poxwalkers no matter if you crit or not

[low fossil]

holy fuck that laspistol clip lmao

[shut thorn]

you use veteran w/ camo

[worthy pulsar]

what you mean ?

[shut thorn]

plasma gun explosion is the same as peril explosion

[fringe remnant]

For all psyker penances the answer is: get friends

[worthy pulsar]

good tip but sorry i'm introvert 😄

[worthy pulsar]

aha, nice idea, what else ?

[fringe remnant]

no pretty gear for your then. Thats just how fatshark designed it

[shut thorn]

if you still want to do it on psyker

if your peril is at 100%, doing the special attack charge thing on force sword instantly initiates explosion

[silver root]

how do you do that fast switch?

[shut thorn]

you rebind q to something nicer like v

then just left click and swap quickly

and repeat that

[cyan notch]

ty fatshark very cool

[shut thorn]

alternatively if you worry about breaking your mouse, make a macro

the block one isn't feasible w/o a macro

[echo parrot]

Looks like you are destinned to gunker

[shut thorn]

Someone here could probably do it, I can't

[silver root]

thanks. why couldnt u use q?

[shut thorn]

Bad finger placement, you'll be significantly slower and training muscle memory will be a hassle for it

Doing it while moving becomes awkward

[silver root]

gotcha ty sah

[worthy pulsar]

okay thx

[shut thorn]

I've also rebound quell to c for quell cancel on void staff

basically thumb does the animation cancels :)

[shut thorn]

Well you'll have good weps for when gunslinger/biomancer/whatever comes out

[jovial frigate]

emperor gave me this. it rolled crit in 1 try

whats consensus on slaughterer

mr milk wants to sell me this

[ornate hamlet]

is there a short guide somewhere what each staff does?

[patent ledge]

purgatos = unli flamer surge = stun gun trauma = aoe blast

voidstrike = rocket launcher

[patent hatch]

https://youtu.be/own3DiNcPkE

[jovial frigate]

jesus christ those little youtuber reacts thumbnails are getting bad

[patent hatch]

This guy has pretty good Psyker content tbh

One of the best ones on YT

Milk and cookies TV is solid to

[ornate hamlet]

thx

[jovial frigate]

im sure its good but it also doesnt make him looking like a goomba any better

all it's missing is the hat

[patent hatch]

Ikr 💀

[ornate hamlet]

speaking of why is the name of the video on the thumbnail in all the colors of the rainbow + random guy who looks dumb as fuck

[patent hatch]

Cause it generates more views

[frigid marten]

predatory thumbnail.

[patent ledge]

i usually skip them on youtube until there's nothing else if im looking for something specific

don't wanna have my recommended tab be full of rainbow text and funny faces x_x

[brave vale]

i mean this has to be good right

[echo parrot]

Its a 380, always buy a 380

No matter what it is

[patent ledge]

tru

[brave vale]

upgrade that shit?

to orange?

[patent ledge]

try it out first

see if you like to use it

otherwise, use your mats on stuff you use constantly

or like using

[fringe remnant]

just hold it until they eventually buff trauma back into the meta

[echo parrot]

Trauma is kinda meh for most and also a bit broken atm, so I would recommend trying it out first.

Just dont scrap it

Always buy a 380, always keep a 380

[patent ledge]

i heard the damage was bugged but idk if it got fixed

[glacial abyss]

yes what the rabbit said

[patent ledge]

i just wish i could convert my dia for plasteel

[ebon jolt]

I think the consensus is it is one of the top 3 if not the best blessing for FS.

[patent ledge]

kinda like vt2 does with green dust

I really hope I get one of those on my new Psyker

[patent ledge]

i have yet found a deflector blessing

[supple skiff]

in a game with 3 void users and a plasma vet, shits jokes

[left mirage]

i think this is about as close as im getting to a flamer on psyker yeah?

[echo parrot]

I got a deflector while leveling, been using it ever since

[left mirage]

fuckin 50% charge time

[echo parrot]

Its a lifesavor when I am only level 20 yet pushing heresy/damnation (low intensity) missions

[patent ledge]

i had one when i was leveling but i junked it before i knew i could transfer it 😢

[whole wharf]

Thoughts?

Buy or nah?

[left mirage]

im in the "trauma staff gives me trauma" gang so id say no

[patent ledge]

ditto

save your weekly currency i'd say

[left mirage]

still have a 380 waiting if when it gets buffed

[echo parrot]

Hardball opinion: If its sold by Melk, dont buy it.

Not unless its a 370+

[patent ledge]

true

it's a pain enough to get the currency, best to use it on high base rolls

[whole wharf]

Fair

[echo parrot]

I have not gotten a single 380

But I have multiple 379s

[runic gate]

Why is this still a THING!? I'm out of Rerolls

[echo parrot]

Better start collecting scrips

[supple skiff]

3 loner psykers with voids and a vet with a plasma gun. Was quite an experience lol

[runic gate]

Map wont pop WITH a secondary... we get these

[echo parrot]

Yep, everyone hates that one.

[runic gate]

When it does pop, it will be a T5 with grims.

[violet thorn]

Mfw people rage quitting on sedition

[echo parrot]

Four shortened lifespans? Nah, more like multiple million shortened lifespans paired with four unstoppable forces.

[runic gate]

game's hard.

[violet thorn]

Anything pre malice is a meme

And this was reduced sedition

[supple skiff]

LOL

[violet thorn]

Like bruh 2 people left

[echo parrot]

I honestly dont understand people leaving games before a wipe.

[violet thorn]

It wasn’t even a wipe

[flint turtle]

[violet thorn]

It was like the last 5 minutes of a smelting

[supple skiff]

well you can on occasion cheese a wipe and rejoin when everyone is down

[echo parrot]

1. Theres always a chance you somehow recover.

2. If you wipe, you at least something as opposed to getting nothing for leaving.

[violet thorn]

And we were fine

[flint turtle]

Let the children

Be

[violet thorn]

No

They goin learn today

On jah

[cyan notch]

vt2 habits

[echo parrot]

People learning? On the internet!?

[old crystal]

I need to figure out how to stay alive as a psyker. I played my first 50 hours of this game as an Ogryn and it's tainted my play style. Grimoires are fucking impossible for me in this class.

[echo parrot]

Ah, I didnt play much vt2, wouldnt know.

[cyan notch]

yea lose = u dont get shit

[echo parrot]

The general consensus is to not get hit by that

Dodging is overpowered

[violet thorn]

@echo parrot I have the Emperor and Anime on my side

I’ll make them learn

[echo parrot]

Anime is a detrimate so you are playing with a handicap

[violet thorn]

I butchered that quote

So much

[vagrant cedar]

all waifus judging you right now from the 2D world

[violet thorn]

I named my seer “Mugabe” the waifus arent the only ones judging me at this point

[viscid brook]

am i supposed to buy the higher rated one?

[cyan notch]

yea i would its much better

[vagrant cedar]

is it better? yes
is it worse? no

[violet thorn]

It’s dependent on stat distribution and skills/blessings

generally higher rating is better but that is now always true

[cyan notch]

slaughterer + maniac gonna do way more than unstable power and 8% weak spot

[violet thorn]

Think of it as ratings as more point to play with but those points can still be all over the place

[cyan notch]

plus you get more mobility

[violet thorn]

You can have horrible 500+ weapons

[echo parrot]

The magic number is the base stats, not the collective stats. The higher those are the better, because you cannot change those. Meanwhile you can roll a perk and will soon be able to swap around blessings

[viscid brook]

i see thanks

it has a lower warp resistance so i wasnt sure if it was better

whats mobility do?

[echo parrot]

Affect your dodge distance and movement speed

I would grab it honestly

[vagrant cedar]

press V

[viscid brook]

and just upgrade that? or wait til something to pop up to upgrade?

[vagrant cedar]

and hover over the stats

[viscid brook]

oh never done that before lol

[hoary shadow]

trash or good ?

[echo parrot]

I wouldnt start upgrading until you get a 360+, simply so that you dont empty your plastic before you get one.

[viscid brook]

those upgrade thigns are expensive im not sure when to use them

okay thanks

[teal cloud]

save your mats for the really good base rolls

[echo parrot]

Low base stats, but it has deflection, so you can use it as an oh shit if need be.

[teal cloud]

you'll probably have enough dockets to get multiple good base ones by the time you get enough mats to upgrade one, if you are checking the shop anyway lol

[runic gate]

This is the way. I follow this will all weps.

[viscid brook]

bought it thanks a bunch

[echo parrot]

If you dont already have a deflection, you should get it

[wet belfry]

Id say its good. Deflection is really rare.

[runic gate]

Also overrated and not need for Damnation 🙂

[wet belfry]

It will be easier once the crafting system is properly implented

[runic gate]

People tunnel FS+Delfection WAY too hard.

[echo parrot]

Wouldnt say overated, but def not needed.

I roll Surge/Knife and Void/FS myself.

[vagrant cedar]

just as surge or void

[viscid brook]

btw this is what im using

[echo parrot]

Not bad

[viscid brook]

do i wait for a higher rated void and upgrade that? im still having trouble with level 4 missions

[runic gate]

or + VS/Surge all day long.

[wet belfry]

I like the versatility of deflector in being able to revive players or block gunners for the team.

[hoary shadow]

thx

[wet belfry]

But other melee options are defintely viable.

[cyan notch]

pretty much yea ur in no rush to upgrade

[runic gate]

I can't wait to be able to reroll Brutal Moment onto my 500 Rated Mk5.

[echo parrot]

If you want to flex it you can, but you cant "upgrade" that any further. Most you can do is roll a perk. I would say wait until you get a 360+

[viscid brook]

will this be better after i can upgrade?

[echo parrot]

That beind said, check everything in the shop in detail, even the greys. You can at times find 360+ greys.

[viscid brook]

that or this

[echo parrot]

The first one

Hands down

You can complete damnation missions in blues. No need to waste your plasteel/diamantine until you're seeing 350+ base stat weapons with a good perk/blessing or 370+ weapons.

[echo parrot]

Quell on weak spot kill is amazing on void

Plus its 369

So its worth upgrading

[viscid brook]

sweeet

[viscid brook]

with a good enough team? i had trouble on lvl 4

[runic gate]

This, line up headshots on hordes an spam it all day.

[echo parrot]

I am pulling heresy/damnation missions with level 22 gear in pubs. Its def possible, but all comes down to gamesense and knowing your limitations with lower gear.

[viscid brook]

thats so fun with voidstaff lol

[runic gate]

Line up headshots on the VS with Transfer Peril you will rarely have to do any quelling at all when you're swarmed.

[echo parrot]

If you are newer it is understandable, I would not have been able to pull it off on my first psyker, Its only on my second one that I am able to pull it off after 280+ hours.

[viscid brook]

oh ok that sounds op will try out

ah so its just skill based lol

u can do level 4 with bots ?

[echo parrot]

I dont think anyone can simply because they will autofill in the middle of the game

[viscid brook]

really i had bots whole game and failed

[echo parrot]

Bad luck then.

[jade imp]

New to Psy, like the flame staff and the lightning one, which is best, what blessings?

[echo parrot]

Keep in mind if you start up fresh instances of missions that are about to run out, there is a good chance you will be stuck with bots for most of the time.

[cyan notch]

are you on gamepass

[echo parrot]

Hard for people to queue for a mission that doesnt exist anymore

[viscid brook]

ya game pass

[echo parrot]

Oh.. that would explain it then

[cyan notch]

yea gamepass population is pretty low so very common to have bot games

gotta wait for fatshark to add crossplay

[viscid brook]

oh wow relaly lol

[cyan notch]

yea most people have it on steam

[supple skiff]

https://prnt.sc/1XGd5_tbCeq8 new shop patch is gross

[echo parrot]

Not surprising either. Not many people take part in PC game pass for multiplayer games

Because everyone already uses steam

[viscid brook]

lol my friend showed me how to get it for the cheap

[supple skiff]

yeah, I was going to go gamepass until I heard that cross play and cross save weren't a thing

[viscid brook]

rip me

do i just keep refining to get warp transfer?

[cyan notch]

no

thats a blessing

u cant do that

[hot yew]

shops is >1hr now?

[supple skiff]

nah its just a visual bug lol

[viscid brook]

should i use the 424 over the 471 for now, even though i havent upgraded?

[echo parrot]

Yes

[runic gate]

Wat? Is it 10 hours now?

[viscid brook]

thanks bunch ❤️

[runic gate]

I'd use the 471. I personally don't have a problem with peril even on T4/5 using the VS.

[supple skiff]

visual bug, wasnt being serious

[runic gate]

If you have issues with peril, then use the 424.

[viscid brook]

ok and ill keep look out for warp transfer blessing

[echo parrot]

Charge rate though

[shut thorn]

total rating doesn't mean anything

It's just a bigger number

base rating is what matters

your blue is better

[echo parrot]

Yes go with blue

[runic gate]

BFG is right sorry I didn't even look at base lol, yeah use the blue.

[viscid brook]

ah i see base rating thansk going with blue

[runic gate]

Base stat is Key unless you have some goated blessing

[shut thorn]

I mean even if the modifiers were bad for the blue I'd still use it solely due to quell peril

[runic gate]

Sometimes the best base stat weps are the greys in the shop, then upgrade em

[viscid brook]

ok doke

thanks for all the tips ❤️

[vagrant cedar]

don't use the blue

use axe

[shut thorn]

You shouldn't delete your opinion just because of someone else's tbh

[runic gate]

Don't wanna leave up bad info

[shut thorn]

no thanks

[runic gate]

I didn't click the pic to see base stats lol. I often assume people know base stats is key.

[vagrant cedar]

this is why we can't have nice things

[shut thorn]

playing antax mk v is like playing with one of those spinny toys from the 2000s, it gets boring insanely fast

[granite knoll]

Anyone know how to get going out with a bang? must be the hardest penance in the game

[shut thorn]

You explode and kill 3 enemies

Easiest way is to run veteran with camo and a plasma gun

[runic gate]

Antax Mk 5 is still BIS melee wep as far as being well rounded. Being able to destory hordes and cc elites with the stagger is incredible.

[shut thorn]

overheat the plasma gun intentionally and just walk next to gunners

practical way would be to use force sword weapon swap charging to initiate explosion

[granite knoll]

wait what, its on psyker not veteran

[viscid brook]

are they going to add crossplay?

[runic gate]

Vet overloads just to do dmg, you finish with you overload.

[shut thorn]

I'm not saying it's not viable, it's like surge, incredibly boring to play 24/7

[cyan notch]

doesnt peril explosion do more

[shut thorn]

plasma explosion is peril explosion

it's the same thing

[runic gate]

Opinion dog.jpg but I thing surge is pretty fun, not as fun as VS.

[inland sand]

i legit do not get stuff above 400 on my Psyker

I think it's because I still have a bunch of sub 300 staves on them

[shut thorn]

you can't get above 380 base rating

Also rarities apparently matter more

[inland sand]

i know I mean 400 shop total

[inland sand]

explain more brother staff

[runic gate]

They key is to stop looking at item rating first, prioritize base stats.

[shut thorn]

Someone here posted abt it so I had wasted mats on zealot a few hrs before sleep

I'll go check now ig

[inland sand]

i do that

it would just be nice if my psyker got the same rolls as my other 3

[vagrant cedar]

you gotta look at both

[granite knoll]

the rest of the psyker penances are easy compared to the suicide one

[vagrant cedar]

base stats alone is shit if your perks/talents are shit

[shut thorn]

pick n mix is harder

[granite knoll]

I think its the easiest one I have done

[shut thorn]

difficulty on psyker: Pick n mix > going out w a bang > malleus (need to pass a speech check on ogryn) > anything else

[mental rock]

I would also say pick n mix is the hardest one without a group

[cyan notch]

i dont think its that hard

[copper raft]

nah pick n mix isnt so bad

[cyan notch]

on heresy and up theres so many gunners and shotgunners

[shut thorn]

It's difficult when a vet sees the blue glow and instantly shoots it

[mental rock]

the thing is, there is always a vet there to interrupt your channels

lol

[shut thorn]

Vets shooting at blue glow is the most annoying shit in this game

They're literally monkey brained

[vagrant cedar]

monkeys are smart tho

[shut thorn]

not rlly

crows are generally smarter

[runic gate]

Dolphin, Monkey, or Crow, who wins intellect?

[ornate hamlet]

Really wish the initial BB glow was only visible to other psykers tbh

I started as psyker and STILL do that sometimes on my veteran just because everything about veteran is "if it glows blast it"

[next pine]

Question, how does surge work with the trauma staff?

is it only on the primary fire?

[shut thorn]

crow
