psyker-class

[alpine portal]

some times I get stuck priotizing targets... im sitting there for like a second and a see a blue glow and before I even know it im shooting.... maybe its something about loading in to vet that mind controlls you 🙂

[jagged vessel]

Pick n’ Mix is so hard after the "nerf".. x_x

[cyan notch]

they fixed it

[jagged vessel]

I had never seen such a boring challenge

[faint marsh]

fully dripped

[jagged vessel]

I try Pick n' Mix in solo and pug, BB low damage + RNG = boring
There is no magic solution ? xD with optimization and a build i can't

[jagged vessel]

rng

problem

[warped perch]

How do you guys find the dueling sword to be?

[lucid terrace]

Pretty fun.

[patent ledge]

pretty good

[light citrus]

Disconnection is RNG

Shop is RNG

Reward RNG

[lucid terrace]

Okay but we're talking about dueling sword right now.

[jagged vessel]

In fact, this challenge isnt hard (even the spell BB is so useless bcause 3 hit on a mawler xD) but i have big problem with my rng for elite )

[patent ledge]

the only problem i have with dueling sword is when i have to face 4 crushers T-T

[lucid terrace]

That's when something like surge is real helpful.

[warped perch]

I still feel like the strike down axe is baller

[jagged vessel]

[warped perch]

But as a psyker I can’t get over not using a force sword lol

[shut oak]

this was asked hours ago but here is a slaughterer FS you wanted to see

[jagged vessel]

force sword is good for deflector no ?

[shut oak]

Only FS can have it as far as i know

[jagged vessel]

Yep'

[lucid terrace]

Yeah, so it's real fun when you wanna run dueling sword on high difficulties and the gunners all checked in early.

[inland sand]

what body armour is that

looks awesome

[jagged vessel]

Challenge

[light citrus]

Welcome to Warhammer:40K RNG tide

[inland sand]

nice i need to work on that

too bad penances are pure dogshit and I cba

[jagged vessel]

the one who need mates and 1 shild ogryn

[faint marsh]

the body came from the killing a monster with my brain burst on heresy

[jagged vessel]

Ogryn have good penances, Psyker have dogshit one yes

[left mirage]

there is the charge 6 ogryn one

that one's kinda fucked

[jagged vessel]

Yep

RNG

200 games +

[shut thorn]

First time I've just quit the game because of a shit team

[jagged vessel]

Never see 5+ Ogryn xD

[shut thorn]

That was possibly the most frustrating run I've had in ages

2 other psykers that kept hiding at end of map while I had to deal with basically the entire horde + monstrosity on my own

If you two assholes are here, genuinely fall down some stairs or something

[light citrus]

Fatshark love RNG for player, Money for them guarantee

[jagged vessel]

Hard to support them :/

[alpine portal]

clearly they wanted you to bring the fight to THEM

[runic gate]

In my mind I'm screaming at the veteran shooting the ones you're about to BB.

[jagged vessel]

The same xD And all elite ennemies was Ogryn / armored like mawler (3BB) ennemies

[runic gate]

Typical brainless cod player ngl.

[cyan notch]

doesnt bother me too much tbh as long as the threats are removed

[magic burrow]

the solution is simple. Brainburst the veteran

[jagged vessel]

Yes .. :/ and without penances, it makes stack management so hard, the blue light making ennemies priority target to them xD

[runic gate]

You're missing the goal of pick n mix and the vet having plenty of other targets to prioritize

[runic gate]

Can't bb the brainless.

[jagged vessel]

My dream : BB and penances redesign

[runic gate]

I just ignore warp stack and run Psyk communion and it' usually hits and holds 4 warp when I need it.

[jagged vessel]

The only way you can have fun with the Psyker is playing with no BB build and ignore this warp stack system 🥹
btw people play with BB only when you have a forgoten ennemie / penances, so sad

[dense cloud]

i iuse kenetic barage and bb a lot tbh

[alpine portal]

preternatural dodge bugged?

[dense cloud]

but yes just ignore the chrages or focus only on them it is difrent playstyles

just difrent ways to have fun

[dense cloud]

idk

[jade imp]

Any tips on what staff I should look for, stats and blessings? I'm guessing the charge redux and reduce peril?

[shut oak]

whats the site that has all the blessings and shit?

[dense cloud]

had to test it

[leaden pier]

corvids are pretty good problem solvers

[shut thorn]

Crows can use saws, crows understand water displacement and also mechanical interactions, they also have a concept of currency, people give crows a lot of unwarranted shit solely because of bird flu epidemic

[vagrant cedar]

YOU SAID COWS

[shut thorn]

I said crows

[vagrant cedar]

fml

[pearl thicket]

who gave crows an lmg

[vagrant cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[vagrant cedar]

hows that weather

[vagrant cedar]

no idea what you on about

[dense cloud]

XD wahter is nice

no rain

[vagrant cedar]

any cows?

[shut thorn]

Haven't gone outside, lithuanian friend complained about rain melting snow

[dense cloud]

nice and cool for improved pc preformance

[shut thorn]

Been stuck inside due corona

Still don't feel like playing darktide though

Lol

[vagrant cedar]

tell him "nesiparink, viskas bus gerai"

post results

[shut thorn]

guessing your lithuanian

[vagrant cedar]

yup

[shut thorn]

"Thanks, I guess?"

[shut thorn]

tbh split latvia into half, 50% of it for eac

[fast swan]

god i need force greatsword

cleave and cool force attacks

[shut thorn]

patience

[fast swan]

please fatshork

[fast swan]

i have been patient since the day the game was announced

[shut thorn]

its in files

just devs have been slowly hiding it

[fast swan]

its really silly that we only have 1 force weapon tho

[shut thorn]

there'll be more

[fast swan]

le wait is lethal

[shut thorn]

just understand darktide was released semi early so they'd have some actual money to pay ppl w

[light pine]

its been confirmed in files?

[shut thorn]

the model is there, name is there, references to it are in a lot of places

Covenant Mk VIII Blaze Force Greatsword is the name

[fast swan]

https://imgur.com/a/rHJ9EyS

[shut thorn]

few glimpses we have of it

[light pine]

oh damn, thats sweet

more force melee weapons needed

[shut thorn]

there's 3 marks of 1h force sword in files

[fast swan]

need a force axe or hammer too

[shut thorn]

don't know how many force greatsword marks there are

prob only 1

zealot's getting a 2h power sword too

[fast swan]

u sure its zealot?

big dub

[shut thorn]

yes, because of the name

[fast swan]

whats the name?

[fluid knot]

If an when Zealot gets 2h PS i will start one

[echo parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-gif-14006288

[fast swan]

oh shit

need that

[shut thorn]

shh

[fast swan]

also really want a power halberd like the sisters of battle

[simple junco]

I'll just pretend it's a very long force knife

[shut thorn]

2h power sword moveset

is unique

its not an evis copypaste

[fast swan]

force dagger would be cool

[shut thorn]

like fgs kinda is

[lucid mortar]

force ogryn box imo

[shut thorn]

archetype specialization

brainburst replacement

[simple junco]

The psykers already pull the pins, giving them the box would be too OP

[fast swan]

ogryn 2h polehammer 🤤

[shut thorn]

vet krak grenade may aswell be a force grenade considering it has homing

[fluid knot]

Knuckle Dusters

For Ogryn. Ples.

[fast swan]

a polehammer like from mordhau would be so awesome, hammer mode has cleave and stagger, special flips the weapon to the 'spike', which gives it low cleave but crazy headshot multiplier

[vagrant cedar]

oh

[shut thorn]

I don't want the one from mordhau, broken ass under swings

[vagrant cedar]

iirc Latvians are considered the slow ones

[fast swan]

lmao

[vagrant cedar]

keep them to yourself

[shut thorn]

We could've post ww1

[gilded fable]

what does psyker mean when they say "By The Five"?

[shut thorn]

Mistake tbh..

[shut thorn]

4 chaos gods and 1 E

[lucid mortar]

force grimoire

[fluid knot]

Forces even more losses

[fast swan]

force throwing knives

[gilded fable]

thats what i was thinking but thats MAJOR heresy

[shut thorn]

and inquisition making daemonhosts isnt?

[simple junco]

Force recon lasgun. It works exactly the same except sustained fire explodes you.

[shut thorn]

Grendyl (if they aren't made up by brahms) is an extremely radical inquisitior

inquisition in w40k lore is insanely hypocritical, it hunts psykers for example despite majority of inquisitiors being psykers themselves

[vagrant cedar]

sounds like a normal gov shit tbh

[shut thorn]

Also hunt people for interacting with xenos despite most inquisitors using xeno tech

[shut thorn]

p much

[vagrant cedar]

name one country who don't do that

[shut thorn]

uganda

🇺🇬

[vagrant cedar]

never heard of that friend

[vagrant cedar]

is that the brother of wakanda?

do they also got Uganda forever motto?

[sleek loom]

hey guys, whats the best perks/blessings for surgestaff?

full on crit?

[shut thorn]

debateable, crits are nice it's just that surge benefits w/ crits only against certain enemies

for a lot of targets the crits only do about 15% more damage

[fast swan]

good traits for void staff?

[shut thorn]

trait = blessing ye?

quell peril

[fast swan]

ye

[shut thorn]

and maybe warp nexus

or surge

if u can get surge

[fast swan]

anything else thats cool?

surge has not enough range for me

[shut thorn]

no im talking

[fast swan]

oh wait can void get run and gun?

[shut thorn]

about the blessing

called surge

[fast swan]

oh lol

[shut thorn]

yes

but theres a blessing called surge

that fires 2 extra shots

on crit

[fast swan]

holy hells

[sleek loom]

never seen that blessing

[alpine portal]

work on charged hits? or just normal fire

[vagrant cedar]

coming soon

[shut thorn]

not sure, don't have a staff with it

Only know like 4 people who've gotten it on a void

[vagrant cedar]

5

😏

tho staff is shit

Axe > Purge > w/e you using

[simple junco]

I haven't seen it and I deliberately refuse to acknowledge object permanence, so 0.

[sleek loom]

imagine being space gandalf and ur best weapon is a simple axe, not magic

[vagrant cedar]

old school af that's what I'd say

man conquaring galaxy and space with an axe

[shut thorn]

big e uses antax mk v, his psyker powers just make people think it's a sword

[lethal rain]

There no where I don’t go without my trusty antax mk v

[vagrant cedar]

You see me rushign towards a horse and you think I'll pull out FS and slice everyone up

you're wrong

[lethal rain]

You can take it to the grocery store, to school, wherever

[vagrant cedar]

chop chop chop

HORDE

not a horse

wtf

Space horses in w40k? 🤔

[shut thorn]

krieg technically

[vagrant cedar]

they use humans as horses? wild

[supple skiff]

lol

[echo parrot]

Nice cheese

[violet thorn]

Is there level based matchmaking?

why am I suddenly getting lv 10 and below when I made a new character?

[vagrant cedar]

kinda answered the question

[violet thorn]

I didnt have that when I played the beta

and I dont remember seeing any update that put that in

[heavy wigeon]

It's always been a thing.

[round jay]

Always has been here I think, even during the beta

[heavy wigeon]

Was like that from launch too.

[violet thorn]

I always got 20+ in malices hyperbruh

now I match with like 3 other 5's

https://tenor.com/view/man-down-gif-25529738

[vagrant cedar]

i get 20+ in damnation

few times lv15-16

[violet thorn]

thats rough

[round jay]

Those level shouldn’t be unlocked before level25

Even as level 30 it’s such a struggle the first times

[mint heart]

What are you guys usually going for, healt or toughness?

[round jay]

Both

[mint heart]

I'm currently using 1 wound 1 hp 1 toughness

[round jay]

Same

[vagrant cedar]

i'm pretty sure if you're in a party you can host them

[round jay]

What?

[vagrant cedar]

if i'm level 30, and you bring your character that's level 1 and we're in the party, I'll be able to host Damnation

[round jay]

Ho, i meant the game should lock the higher defficulty up to level 25. I don’t know the current level necessary

But yeah, there’s also that

[keen pawn]

fukkkkkkkkkinnnnnn Pooooooog

mob sucks but lol

[round jay]

At least your in a party in this case. Getting randoms level 15 isn’t nice

[vagrant cedar]

32+30 from curious

dayum

[orchid shadow]

Holy crap, a T4 Deflector?? I've only seen T1 and T2

[keen pawn]

Been using a 3 the whole time. Its too good

[vagrant cedar]

how does this one actually work?

is this +4% per stamina bar?

[round jay]

More like +1% per bar up too 4%

[vagrant cedar]

such a crappy blessing then

[round jay]

If the description is what happen it looks so trash xD

[vagrant cedar]

More like Nothing or Nothing

jesus

[frigid marten]

is probally crap but never trust description.

[inland needle]

Anyone got advice for Pick and Mix?
Current perk line is 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 3

[jovial frigate]

i mean the stat scales onto your staff too so it's not completely ass

[inland needle]

Or: Essence Harvest, Inner Tranquility, Cerebral Lacerations, Mind in Motion, Warp Battery, Kinetic Barrage

[vagrant cedar]

yeah but how does it scale?

1 stamina = 1%?

[empty granite]

You just need Kinetic Barrage and nothing else. Hit F and start at 0% peril when you start. You get exactly 5 BB's in the 10s duration to get to 100% peril

[inland needle]

...Huh.
Thought it'd be burst one, ult, then pick them off

[empty granite]

You can do that as well, but there's a delay to F

Fastest is to F first then BB

[jovial frigate]

unsure if its static as to 1 stam = 1%, my assumption it was just a threshold thing depending on blessing level. 5% stam blessing = 1 % power per 20% stam

4% power = 1% power per 25% stam

etc

[inland needle]

10-4
Now all I gotta do is find a team willing to help.
Or a heresy lobby, period

[mighty vault]

It's much more likely that, yes.

[mental pecan]

the lvl 15 skill i think should be the one for cooldown on elite kill

so you can faster get your ult back and than get the speed and peril cost reduction on going

[mighty vault]

You just need the last one that reduces peril and charge time.

It's not hard, you just have to beat your teammates to the kills

[mental pecan]

it is a bit rng. you need to get 5 kills that are mostly 1 bb kills. and you got to get the kills before your team

[echo parrot]

I got it entirely by accident

[mighty vault]

I got it on purpose literally the first time I ever tried, you just gotta wait for a bunch of specials in a holdout. Enclavum Baross was a good one

[echo parrot]

Funnily enough Baross is where I got my Out with a Bang

[valid spire]

im suprisingly struggling with cliffhanger, even with it easier. just waiting for the right moment to crop up and have a group near a ledge no one is shooting at

[echo parrot]

#psyker-class message

[left briar]

how many times is excessive force authorized

[vagrant cedar]

there's a map where there's a very slim edge "path" on the left side when you drop down

wait for a horde there

[valid spire]

ooohh thanks for this, this will help immensely

i got real close once and just before i could ult the ogryn helped me

[vagrant cedar]

is that the one where you need to push 12 mobs off the cliff?

[echo parrot]

7 mobs, and yes.

[valid spire]

and i couldnt be mad at him, he was just protectin the lil un

[echo parrot]

Also I am not a fan of the place you are talking about because you have to rely on the horde not aggroing on everyone else and actually pathing towards you.

[raven scarab]

the mission where you upload fake data, it has 2 narrow bridges towards the end, also a nice place to do it

[valid spire]

thats exactly where it was

[echo parrot]

Meanwhile the Hab Drayko method I used can be done with any group because it just involves you sitting back and letting everyone go past.

[valid spire]

i claimed one of those extendo bridges in hopes my team would trust i could cover it with the taser staff and i guess the ogryn got bored lol

[raven scarab]

usually it helps if you let them know in chat, you're going for penance or smth

[valid spire]

yeah, its why i wasnt upset, he didnt know

[valid spire]

i figured at the time it was an easy enough penance to just bang out on my own

[vagrant cedar]

idk how this map is called but

at the start of the map where you drop down

[raven scarab]

shockingly too many people on this game actually read the chat and let you do your thing

[vagrant cedar]

you walk this huge bridge

and turn left on the bunker

but once you drop down there's a small path on the left

from the bridge

[valid spire]

cause i did warp battery before that with relative ease without telling anyone so i was like "eh this shouldnt be too bad"

[vagrant cedar]

wait for horde and do it there

[echo parrot]

People run forward, kill everything ahead, and that is assuming you even get a horde.

[vagrant cedar]

here

[vagrant cedar]

yeah that place looks kinda shit

[valid spire]

i'll either try annabelles spot or the false data bridge again with a team forewarning

[echo parrot]

Worked for me, only took one try, didnt have to pray for a horde to happen at the perfect time, and also didnt have to pray for/coordinate with the team to not kill things.

The edge on the side is great if you have a full premade, but you also arent garaunteed a horde either

[vagrant cedar]

i mean if you go in "high intensity" you can do it at the start on my map

you tell team not to engage

[echo parrot]

Even more requirements

[vagrant cedar]

done in the first 2 minutes

[echo parrot]

Even more expectations of team

This is not even an argument at this point lol

[valid spire]

also does the force sword have a heavier push than other melee weapons? or does it just look like it because of psyker magic

[vagrant cedar]

you make it sound like the game is played by total baboons and they don't communicate

10% of the time you get a good team

that listens

[simple junco]

Considering some of the T4 teammates I used to have, I believe that they could be

[echo parrot]

That 10% of the time as opposed to 100% easy way to obtain it.

But hey, you wanna believe its shit then keep believing its shit

Ill keep recommending it so people dont pop blood vessels like I did when I was trying to herd cats to do it exactly where you are saying to

[valid spire]

also shoutouts to the 3 grab specials that spawn when i finally get an oppertunity

[shut thorn]

health, helps survive shit situations like mutant spam/bomber spam

[fast swan]

when you get high enough level, are there recolors of the imperial edition drip in da shop?

i really like the arm guard thingies but want ot get it in stripey blue

[copper raft]

I wish. I also wish they had penance some of the higher tier penance drip reskinned too.

[valid spire]

i see + wounds, i take

[copper raft]

Surprising they have the hood with mask you can buy though

[simple junco]

If you're on T4/T5, most of us would recommend +1 wounds

[fast swan]

yea if only they could come up with some penance challenges which arent the most unfun things ever

[valid spire]

my journey to create the BEEF Psyker

[simple junco]

Partially to avoid 1894 mode, partially because shit happens

[hexed inlet]

which do you think is better?

[raven scarab]

blue has better blast radius

tho warp resistance is important

[fast swan]

what does that perk even do? max of 2% but it stacks 5 times?

[raven scarab]

for example at 10% it's 0.1% or smth but at 90 it's 2%. stacks 5 times

[fast swan]

oh lol

[raven scarab]

dont quote me on the %, pulled those out of my ass

[paper wagon]

.

[hexed inlet]

yeah the perk is kinda stinky on both

i just don't know what is good for the stats

also i think it is worded poorly and is it 2% 5 times

[ornate hamlet]

how kill 5 special enemies within 12 seconds with brain burst on heresy?

[paper wagon]

I think purp is better. Blast radius is already smol even maxed.

[raven scarab]

i think warp resistance is important for all staves. blast radius and damage are 2nd most important for void. also not 100% sure as i only use fire

[hexed inlet]

yeah i was looking and it only varies from 2-4

so warp is probably better

[vagrant cedar]

you target 1 enemy at a time with your brain burst, in 12seconds total

use bb and hold left click

[ornate hamlet]

[raven scarab]

first time a force sword appears in the contract store for me and it's still worse stats

[ornate hamlet]

i was asking for tips on how to do the penance, dumbass

[fast swan]

would it be at all busted if brain burst just instantly killed all human sized enemies?

[vagrant cedar]

1 more edit

go on

[simple junco]

Seeing a blazing spirit FS makes me immediately jealous

[fast swan]

brain burst needs to be able to kill all specials

[simple junco]

Half certain it's been patched out of my game

[ornate hamlet]

"oh no, he made a grammatical error, that proves me right in being wrong"

[round jay]

well, he explained to you so

[ornate hamlet]

no, no he didn't

[fast swan]

does this damage from soulblaze feel impactful? in meat grinder soulblaze seems to do little even to poxwalkers

[simple junco]

Alas, he hath made a grammatical error; this cannot be recovered.

[round jay]

there's no tips

kill 5 ennemies within 12s with bb

what do you need more

there's ennemies everywhere

[simple junco]

Nah, by itself it's pretty lame. A few of us are trying to make a Blazing Spirit + Bloodthirsty FS to make it a diet purgatus while we run another staff

[raven scarab]

goose, best way would be to go on high intensity and have 3 friends leave the specials alive who can be 1 bursted

[simple junco]

Oh also, if you set something on fire and kill it with melee, you get the 10% WC chance so there's that.

[ornate hamlet]

there's always tips, for example for the "deal 90% damage to monstrosity with only bb" there's a "get a shieldgryn and make him use his shield on a daemonhost, then do what you have to do"

i was asking for easier ways, not for what the fucking text means

[vagrant cedar]

woah

[simple junco]

Well, that's the easiest way

[vagrant cedar]

breath dude

[vagrant cedar]

get a shieldgryn and make him use his shield to tank 5 special enemies, then do what you have to do

[round jay]

well, then as always you need a team ready to help with penance, then clean the area while leaving alive special. get 4wc for more damage and start to bb them, once reach 100% use you special to lose 50% as those enemies can't be Os with bb

[vagrant cedar]

happy?

[ornate hamlet]

right, this is useless

[simple junco]

Are you asking for ways to cheese penances?

[fast swan]

yes

best map to knock 7 enemies off map?

[copper raft]

People are so aggressive

[vagrant cedar]

there's no need for that

[raven scarab]

literally telling you even what you can 1burst @ornate hamlet, how much simpler can it be made

[vagrant cedar]

i think he expected some easy af tip and trick

[fast swan]

best map to get push 7 enemies off?

[raven scarab]

the one with fake data, part with 2 bridges

[ornate hamlet]

at the start of the map where you run by 2 leman russes

[simple junco]

Yeah, lemme find a screenshot

[fast swan]

gotcha, ty

what part do i go to for best and easiest ledging?

[ornate hamlet]

no i just got tired of you translating exactly what i wrote in simpler terms

[vagrant cedar]

at the start of this map

idk the name for it

[simple junco]

Vigil Station Oblivium

[fast swan]

oh thats goated too

thanks y'all

[simple junco]

Arguably the easiest since it's a guaranteed horde

[raven scarab]

that's the one i was thinking of

im good with names obviously

[copper raft]

Vigil station was the go to for when it was 20 instead of 7 too

[vagrant cedar]

but it's very wide

i tried 3-4 times to do that, they barely got to the edge

no idea how people managed to get 20 off

[simple junco]

So like, I'm still lost on what you actually need

[raven scarab]

i stood in the window to the side of the bridge

[simple junco]

Instead of ripping at one specific guy, might wanna restate the question

[vagrant cedar]

ohhh

[fast swan]

which map is this? the one with the lmean russes at the start??

[raven scarab]

he wants cheese for 5 headpops on heresy. is what im getting

[vagrant cedar]

it's the one where you walk on the huge ass bridge

[simple junco]

Ah. Run KB and wait for a gunner squad.

[vagrant cedar]

and there's like this huge gate like in London Bridge, midway

and there's this narrow path on the left

[raven scarab]

kb?

[fast swan]

gotcha, thanks

[vagrant cedar]

and then if you go further, there's a bunker on the left corner

and you turn left

to go further

idk the map name

[simple junco]

Kinetic Barrage. Reduces BB cast time and reduces peril generation.

[vagrant cedar]

but you get the hordge there, it's super easy

[simple junco]

If you do one natural BB, then press F, you can do a total of 5 brain bursts without quelling if you run peril resist on WC.

[shut thorn]

blast radius on void is a meme

[native ember]

Does this seem worth it? or is cleave targets a dump stat with brutal momentum?

[feral crater]

Pretty sure there are multiple perks you could shorten to KB... We need standardized shorthand lol

[raven scarab]

i just took the flame one and forgot about the final feats. that's a very nice thing to know

[simple junco]

Yeah, AB doesn't really do you much good unless you're swarmed by like 6 maulers. It definitely has a purpose, but if you want to use BB then KB is your best bet.

[raven scarab]

yea i just run a fire staff and force sword. BB is completely forgotten

[simple junco]

Something like this would work

Funny enough, I run KB regularly with Purg to do multiple roles lol

[proud mantle]

the emperor trolls me again

[simple junco]

Purg is great to thin elites in a crowd, and KB to remove gunners from the meme pool

[near wyvern]

I mean, you can but why not take a void in that case

[shut thorn]

wdym this staff is fine

[simple junco]

It's a pub build lol

[proud mantle]

isnt dmg needed for the crit

[shut thorn]

???

[simple junco]

I'm debating switching to void, but when we don't have some sort of flame things gets a bit hectic

[proud mantle]

bro i read some wacky stuff here

[shut thorn]

dude its a diff of

2 damage

a whole 2 damage

what affects damage more is distance

[vagrant cedar]

but you got 15 stacks, that's 30 dmg

[proud mantle]

i remember seeing some dude here say u need max dmg for purg

[simple junco]

But what I'm seeing now is too many people run flame

[near wyvern]

Purge doesn't need damage, you want:

1. Burn
2. Warp resist
3. Cloud radius
4. Quelling speed
5. Damage

In they order

[simple junco]

Uh, max burn. Look at around an 80% staff for burn.

[raven scarab]

i play with a set group of people and the vet snipes everything what shoots quicker than i can pull my hands out of the pocket

[proud mantle]

so how does crit work on purg then

off the burn stacks or the raw dmg or both

[simple junco]

Applies 2 stacks of soulblaze on crit

[proud mantle]

oh

[shut thorn]

Crit adds a new stack of soulblaze

[near wyvern]

That's a non issue. Acsendant Blaze triggers off from any players soulblaze kills so more purg is more warp stacks for everyone.

[proud mantle]

well that makes much more sense now lmao

[shut thorn]

assault_warpfire dmg is not the same as soulblaze damage

[simple junco]

Yeahh, that's the benefit of premades lol. Running KB definitely helps if you get paired with a rando vet who gets offed immediately.

Being able to cross role in pubs is pretty important

[simple junco]

It becomes an issue when we have 3 flame and an ogryn

Lodsagunners

[raven scarab]

im not ready for pubs at all so that's a good thing to know.
for pubs a void staff is also recommended?

[simple junco]

Void is probably the best pub staff, depending on who you ask

The difference between purg and void is that purg gives close range CC while void gives more efficient wave clear

Both have a place, it just depends on what you want to do. From personal experience I noticed that our veterans need peel from time to time so I run purg to cover the flanks and let soulblaze kill off hordes.

And KB/aura in case the vet gets killed because they have a protagonist complex

[raven scarab]

almost sounds like my vet, only he manages to stay alive somehow

[next pine]

aight anyone know if the surge blessing procs on the trauma staffs secondary fire?

[raven scarab]

without our zealot, he'd be dead af

[next pine]

I've been testing it and it doesn't appear to

Which begs the question why even allow it to roll on one

[simple junco]

Does trauma crit armored targets?

[next pine]

I can get yellow numbers on a crusher

[simple junco]

I remember seeing something like surge staff testing was inconsistent because it just doesn't give extra damage on armor

[next pine]

I guess I'll have to try it on a reaper

[simple junco]

Wait, you should see two explosions on the floor if anything

[shut thorn]

I would run purg if it had lmb bolt

:/

[simple junco]

Crit is determined at the attack itself, not the target

[simple junco]

I miss my little bolt sometimes. It would solve so many issues with the staff tbh

[shut thorn]

@cyan notch helped test pretty heavily, surge staff does like 15% + dmg as a crit instead of 100% + against flak/carapace

And it's not just surge that has minimum crit at a measy 15%

All staves are affected by it

But it hurts surge the most

[next pine]

That's the thing, I'm not seeing anything so idk if its just BOTH are right on top of each other or if it just doesn't proc on trauma secondary.

And it staggers everything

[simple junco]

Ah, yeah. Juggle a reaper and assess the damage on hit.

Probably turn off all skills too

[supple skiff]

I just got pick n mix with a bunch of sub level 30 rando's

planets aligned and the opporunity presented itself

[simple junco]

Actually huge

[shut thorn]

congratz

[next pine]

ok so I finally got it to crit. Normal is 390, Yellow was 448. How much damage do crits add?

[supple skiff]

now I feel like I have to go for the other 2

[raven scarab]

how can i make the game give more magistrati oubliette with secondaries

[wicked viper]

Does anyone have a surge staff with focused channeling?

[proud mantle]

i do

[wicked viper]

Cool, just making sure they actually exist

[wicked viper]

Did you get it in the beta or something?

[fast swan]

does transfer peril do anything on trauma staff?

[wicked viper]

Not if you are using its secondary

[proud mantle]

dont think so, i got a blue and upgraded it

[alpine portal]

when leveling when do you guys usually go for t3 maps

??

[fast swan]

https://tenor.com/view/useless-fucking-pieces-of-shit-mad-angry-kick-gordon-ramsay-gif-14817807

[proud mantle]

the tier doesnt matter as much to me as mission speed

the assassination mission with the ascender is by far the fastest imo

[raven scarab]

think me n my premade team went on t3 at lvl 5 or so

[dry pond]

has anyone been able to get the 900 block dmg as psyker using force sword? i got the 1st two block penances.. but getting no contribution for the 3rd one. Very odd.

[raven scarab]

there's a block dmg penance for psyker?

[dry pond]

no. its a generic defense one

[fast swan]

thats for all classes

[alpine portal]

so running lvl 8 @ in assassination is not trolling? oir look for a slower mission

[raven scarab]

just get an ogryn character with shield and stand infront of a demonhost, instantly done all 3

[sturdy radish]

should i go crit chance or dmg to unyielding as purge staff?

[valid spire]

YES

[ebon jolt]

Crit

[valid spire]

thanks for the help everyone

[raven scarab]

had same question some days ago, i was told crit chance as there's only 2 unyielding enemies in game or so

[raven scarab]

gzzz

[valid spire]

missed my ability push and it just turned into desperate mouse 2 melee shoves

worked out

[raven scarab]

that also works for penance?

[sturdy radish]

thanks for the tips ill keep crit chance now i have 15 opercent extra crit chance on weapon

[valid spire]

mhm, seemingly did for me, as long as you get 7 dudes offa a cliff

[alpine portal]

its easy to do on accident impossible on porpous XD

[valid spire]

for real

[ebon jolt]

Reaper and Bulwark are unyielding. Although Reaper only in the head. All monstrosities also count as unyielding.

[fast swan]

so transfer peril is real good on void staff right click?

aight

[oblique hemlock]

I was in a match about 45 minutes ago with a dude trying to do Pick N' Mix and he started crying over the microphone about how hard it was

what it is the stat first strike on force sword ? really important ? thx

[oblique hemlock]

Gonna play with a friend till we're done then come back on updates like people

[raven scarab]

dont think it's that important but somebody will probably correct me

[shut oak]

Siblings, don't forget to spot specials, many games today and I am the only one to spot things.

[near wyvern]

It makes the weapon deal more damage against the first target hit by the swing

[oblique hemlock]

From my experience it helps for elite stuff like ogryn enemies

[valid spire]

what else is the G key for

anything i cant hit gets pinged

[raven scarab]

yes

[valid spire]

[near wyvern]

If you plan on just killing poxwalkers and groaners, it's not that big of a deal

If you want to slice up some mutants with the force sword special, you want a high first target roll AND high damage roll

[hoary shadow]

ok thx !

i love the thing, its a great mauler deleter

[raven scarab]

it's a great anything deleter

[valid spire]

what staff do you guys fuck with?

Flame staff is neato

[valid spire]

ive been using the taser staff

[desert quartz]

surge primarily

[shut thorn]

void

[desert quartz]

sometimes purgatus

sometimes voidstrike

depends, really

[hot zephyr]

This absolves you of your veteran sins for now. Don't let it happen again. Remember we can read your thoughts. 😉

[oblique hemlock]

Shock staff because it's all I can afford

[valid spire]

[ornate hamlet]

Brother, that lightning is weak as shit tho

[valid spire]

it is

however

[desert quartz]

it is weak, but good for stunning elites and specials

[valid spire]

stopping a charging mutant in its tracks feels real good

[desert quartz]

very invaluable

[oblique hemlock]

I'm living in squalor

[desert quartz]

you don't really use it if your intention is killing things

[oblique hemlock]

More coping

[ornate hamlet]

but killing things is like

the main fucking thing

I don't want to tickle the mutants nutsack

[raven scarab]

speaking of using yourself as a smol popper to kill stuff. this is how it's done (close eyes for best experience)

[valid spire]

i mean it works! ive saved many a teammate with that thing

[simple junco]

Eh, it's moreso buying time until things die when it comes to T5

Shit does happen

[oblique hemlock]

I'll give you that

[desert quartz]

on higher difficulties it does help to have the potential to stun things as well, since psyker isn't exactly a world beater in its current state

vets usually kill most things before you have the chance

as do zealots

[valid spire]

ill admit its not very fun in hordes but i feel like a very helpful boy when it comes to dogs and mutants

[ornate hamlet]

Psyker needs some fucking buffs my guy

[simple junco]

Zealots are frontline, that's about it

[ornate hamlet]

everyone else is outpacing him

[simple junco]

Zealots are horde control, vets are damage/range, psykers are damage/CC, and ogryns exist

[desert quartz]

exactly, cc

[hot zephyr]

The chain stuns are very useful for brown pants moments like when there's a massive horde bearing down and the zealot needs to reload their flamer

[desert quartz]

hence why the surge is helpful

[simple junco]

Ehhh, I'd believe you if you also mentioned purg lol

[desert quartz]

good for stagger, yes

[simple junco]

Purg and surge are the two CC staves

So is trauma, but that's very specific

[proud mantle]

ogryns throw box

[valid spire]

i do miss blowing peoples legs off, but i havent found another good staff yet

[proud mantle]

but no throw lun boks

[echo parrot]

Well done

[oblique hemlock]

And sit behind a moveable wall

[desert quartz]

it also helps to have a deflector force sword which has saved me on more than one occasion

[valid spire]

is deflector a blessing?

[simple junco]

Ye

[desert quartz]

it is

[valid spire]

noice, im keepin my eye out for that

[simple junco]

Deflector is great, but not really required for T5. Some people think it's a barrier entry but nah

[desert quartz]

just know that deflector doesn't block incoming ranged attacks from all angles, you have to be looking at who/what you want to block

[ornate hamlet]

Heres a serious question

do you think giving your Psyker a gun like a recon lasgun, is a sin?

[oblique hemlock]

Oh boy

[valid spire]

i think if you want its fine but i havent touched a gun since i was given a magic stick

[simple junco]

Some purists hate it, others swear by it. Depends on what your version of optimal is.

[feral crater]

Leveling with guns is acceptable. Maining it is a crime

[oblique hemlock]

The horde comes

[proud mantle]

thing about guns is

[desert quartz]

not necessarily, but it feels weird having the option of using a magical staff as a mage-esque class but choosing to use a gun instead

[valid spire]

i love love LOVE how i dont have to deal with ammo drama

[proud mantle]

if ur gonna use a gun just play vet cause psykers wont be able to use the gun as effectively

[desert quartz]

so i stay away from guns as psyker

[valid spire]

as a vet main, its so liberating

[desert quartz]

but it's funny, because there are more gun options in the armory exchange than staves more often than not

as well as less force swords

[ornate hamlet]

there is only one force sword

[simple junco]

The whole "just be vet" argument is invalidated by FK, KB and BB existing if you run a decent lasgun.

[paper wagon]

Run void instead of a gun. quick charged alt fires hit a bit more than XII

[simple junco]

But ye, we really do need more staves in the store lol

[paper wagon]

If you wanted a gun.

[proud mantle]

why need BB if u just shoot tho

[ornate hamlet]

I like to think that Psyker with a gun is like multi classing in DnD

cause you go pew pew

and then also make that fucking worthless fucking sniper halfway across the map explode as well

[simple junco]

For bombers running off screen? Maybe snipers if you run recon

[desert quartz]

i can't wait until i complete pick n' mix, then i can finally rest

one day it shall be accomplished

[valid spire]

bb is awesome as a fire and forget, you only need to look at him for a second and he is dead

[simple junco]

I don't personally use a gunker, but people shit on them a little too much.

[valid spire]

so you can slip back into cover

[oblique hemlock]

Are you the guy I was playing with earlier that was crying on mic?

[paper wagon]

Guns are fine. Braced auto guns suppresses massively. It just doesn't feel good to use because the base class doesn't support guns with anything other than warp charges and rng BB

[simple junco]

Psykers, as a class, suffers an identity crisis already when entering T4/T5

[hushed glade]

If you’re only malice or lower it’s fun

[valid spire]

havent taken psyker into 4-5 yet so i wouldnt know

[paper wagon]

I run void staff in 5s if it's an open map, surge if it's a lot of tunnels and hallways.

Not a fan of purges visibility issues. My people don't like it.

[simple junco]

If you take a psyker into T4/T5, you're gonna wanna find out exactly what your staff is good at and try to fill your niche.

[oblique hemlock]

Accurate

[valid spire]

on that group where i got cliffhanger, it was 3 psykers and 1 vet and i was nervous

[simple junco]

Purge - Close range stagger and horde control
Surge - Elite stun and suppression
Void - Crowd clear
Trauma - Elite juggle with more accuracy

[fluid knot]

Heh, looks nice

[valid spire]

no one had the cliffhanger shirt so i was afraid i was gunna get into a fight

[alpine portal]

I run purga and flamer, I aim low

[paper wagon]

Stagger on void is good too

[simple junco]

True, if you can peel with it, void is a pretty good alt to purg for close range engagements

[paper wagon]

Interrupts flamers, trappers, zerkers suppresses gunners.

[simple junco]

Reason why purg wins out is that you don't actually have to look at hordes to ensure they die

Giving you more time to peel elsewhere

[paper wagon]

Purg is good. Won't deny. My group just doesn't like it.

[vagrant cedar]

find a new group

ez pz

[simple junco]

Ah. Yeah, that's valid lol

[paper wagon]

I'm just wanting Bolt Staff.

[lethal rain]

Can psykers use braced autoguns?

[simple junco]

Does your zealot use a flamer?

[feral crater]

I wish trauma was better. It's such a fun skillcapped staff... But then it sucks so bad the skill is irrelevant

[paper wagon]

We don't run with zealot in damnation. Ogryn, two vets, psyker.

[oblique hemlock]

If your zealot doesn't use a flamer then he's cringe

[near wyvern]

Trauma - Elite juggle with more accuracy, PTSD for the whole team

Fixed it for ya

[simple junco]

Oh tru

[simple junco]

Ah gotcha. Yeahhh once you get a surge staff, don't spam it into hordes. It'll really fuck up your melee frontline.

Wait you probably know that already, ignore me

Bretty good, I think surge + warp nexus is pretty neato too

[unkempt juniper]

full charged voidstrike headshot 1hkos ranged and still pierces in damnation, very good for getting ranged enemies behind cover across the map

voidstrike is and always will be the best and most viable staff and if you disagree with me i will be outside your house tomorrow

[near wyvern]

[mild tartan]

i used to think that, being able to instantly pause every elite and special at once with surge is starting to grow on me

[feral crater]

Begone eldar scum

[near wyvern]

Void, Purge and Surge are all good, it's more of what your team needs which one will be the best

[simple junco]

Good thing about the game is that 3/4 staves will have a dedicated audience for it

[mild tartan]

Surge is almost universally more useful for your team because its mainly geared towards support rather than you dealing the damage out yourself to get kills. Having more than one on a team makes it detrimental though

[simple junco]

Bad thing is that some of them think it's the only way to play lol

[mild tartan]

Whats the difference between mk2 vs mk5 axe? Just got a 515 mk2 and wondering if its worth the switch

[near wyvern]

And if your team has their heads up their arses it sucks to be a surge user cause you can't even try to carry

[mild tartan]

True, you simultaneously end up relying on your team more as well lol

[proud mantle]

384 base? highest ive seen

[oblique hemlock]

Stop making me think the surge staff is better than I originally did

[mild tartan]

Think its a visual glitch

[oblique knoll]

Hadron gave me fuckin Run n Gun on this beauty - I really can't tell if it does anything at all. 😦

[simple junco]

Surge amplifies your team's ability to kill, but if your team can't kill then you're kinda shit outta luck

[proud mantle]

oh yeah it adds to 380 lol

[near wyvern]

Mk 5 is a heavy hitter, very easy to achieve some break points with it to one shot stuff

well u can run and fire lil balls

Buy it, and hold it on the inventory for 2 years when they finally fix it

[oblique hemlock]

Convince me that the axes aren't all garbage

(You can't)

[mild tartan]

How are they garbage? they're basically necessary for horde clear if you're running surge

[sleek loom]

which weapon to pair with void?

[mild tartan]

Necessary might be strong, but havent found a better one than the mkV combat axe yet for that

[ornate hamlet]

bruh, Axes feel like a fucking Nerf foam weapon

I feel like I'm swinging around a paperweight on a stick

[mild tartan]

Poor damage? I one shot every basic mob and two hit most non armored elites

[valid spire]

its the lack of cleave i dont like on axes. or it least it feels bad

like in hordes with an axe it feels like im hitting 1 poxwalker at a time out of a wave of 50

[uncut sable]

is there like a proper list or wiki somewhere of all the weapons psyker has?

[spark forge]

Still so many sleeping on the MK V shove attack.

[mild tartan]

This, you shove like 20 enemies at once all around you and can then just clear them out immediately

[near wyvern]

Mk V lights have cleave and you can easily get a one that one shots the first trash melee in a hit

If you get the Burtal Momentum on it you can have infinite cleave on it as well

And you have good damage vs armour and a lot of stagger on the heavies.

The only thing to not like about it is the slower attack speed, so you can't just whip it out in a pinch and start spanking, you gotta do a push attack first if you get caught holding your rod.

It's just a better Devil's Claw to be honest.

[mild tartan]

I still don't entirely understand what brutal momentum actually does tbh, description is a little unclear. But it's definitely a useful weapon lol

[fluid knot]

This best psyker melee weapon, fite me

[oblique hemlock]

You're an ogryn, you wouldn't know

[fluid knot]

I also play psyker kek

[oblique hemlock]

Your name is a lie

[mild tartan]

ALERT OGRYN SPY IS IN THE BASE

[fluid knot]

Discord character limit, take it up with them

[naive dawn]

I'm on the dagger train, in Damn I usually run dagger/surge. Though I've tried all the rest of the weapons.

[heavy wigeon]

Every enemy has a hit mass value based on what type of enemy they are/what type of material you hit. This value is subtracted from your weapon's cleave value until it reaches 0 and your weapon then no longer will apply damage to further enemies for that attack.

[meager eagle]

hooh if only the charge rate and warp res were better

[mild tartan]

ah, so it is very much essentially infinite cleave in horde situations, since all you need is a headshot off a basic mob. Cool

[fluid knot]

See ive had a zealot explain why knife is good on they, but why is it good on psyker?

[near wyvern]

In the game, each enemy has this thing called hit mass

Your weapon has a cleave value.

Let's say your weapon has a cleave of 3.

Each unarmoured target costs 1. So you can hit 3 targets with your swing.

Now, let's say you are hitting infested enemies, these have a hit mass of 2.

So the first hit reduces your cleave on the swing to 1 and then you can hit only 1 more target for a total of 2 targets. The game is coded so that as long as your cleave value is above 0, you can hit an enemy.

With Brutal Momentum, when you kill a target by hitting their weak spot (you chop off their head), your attacks will ignore hit mass completely for the next 2 to 4 seconds (depends on blessing strength).

That is, you will hit ALL TARGETS within the reach of your swing.

Chop off someone's head while that is on and you can keep going.

[oblique hemlock]

Nerd

[mild tartan]

Thank you for the in depth explanation

in that case I will definitely be staying on my mk5 for the foreseeable future because that definitely has saved my ass when I'm surrounded

mk12 las and dagger psyker. i probably should be playing vet 😄

[oblique hemlock]

Insanity

But I like your moxie

[naive dawn]

@fluid knot mobility and dodge distance mostly, you can get solid values from the mk v DS also. But only on that one.

[dry pond]

dagger mobility is so hard to put down once you try it

daggercrack

[fluid knot]

Hmmm

[dry pond]

when you are squishy psyker it helps. do miss deflector though 😦

deflector dagger! THE DREAM

[ornate hamlet]

What kinda new staff would you guys want?

[naive dawn]

I think deflector and kinetic deflection are massive traps.

[ornate hamlet]

I'd like a staff who's special would be deploying a warp shield

or some shit that reflects ranged attacks back at enemies

[dry pond]

a reflect would be so op 😄

but nice revenge on gunner blobs

[ornate hamlet]

I want that snipers fucking las round to bounce back into his fucking skull

[dry pond]

cos screw those guys

[mild tartan]

is mk3 combat blade a dagger then? How important is the penetration stat

I have what sounds like a great one otherwise

[near wyvern]

You need kinetic deflection because crappy team mates

[dry pond]

^^ this

[naive dawn]

I mean, i guess, but with surge staff gunners arent a problem.

[dry pond]

when your ogryn thinks he is a vet. and the vets think they are zealots.

[naive dawn]

I hvae that issue on my ogryn but never my psyker.

So many times little gunners just slowly chewing away at my hp while I have 3 vets all going for their penance so no one will shoot once unless its a monstrosity.

[frigid marten]

ranged enemies are the only danger in the game.

[dry pond]

teleporting doggo's also dont help

[oblique hemlock]

Wrong but not entirely wrong

[near wyvern]

The actual damage on it is a combination of many stats.

With the knife you gotta open up the weapon damage break down and see if you are close to any break points.

Remember, the values in there are unbuffed so you gotta apply any perks etc. to those values to get the true damage

[violet thorn]

I use this as well

unless I get a non-dogwater psy sword

[near wyvern]

@mild tartan

If you were wondering, the important break points for the weakspots are:

• 200 unarmoured (groaner)
• 300 infested (poxwalker)
• 300 flak (Scab Ranger)
• 360 flak (Scab Stalker)
• 400 unarmoured (Scab Bruiser & Dreg Stalker)
• 450 flak (Dreg Bruiser)

Does this seem worth or does brutal momentum make the cleave targets gain redundant?

[mild tartan]

I think I'd prefer right

better damage and blessing for its purpose imo

and brutal momentum will make it irrelevant when it matters

[sinful stream]

What difficulty is this?

[native ember]

makes sense

any siblings experiencing audio quality drop when in mission? its perfect on the morning star, but as soon as the match starts loading, the audio quality goes potatoes and i cant hear audio ques at all in game

[pale crescent]

Im ashamed to admit I’m currently using an auto gun and combat axe and just using brain bursts as weird grenades

But it’s working

[mild tartan]

Wouldn't you rather play a class that has abilities geared for your gun? Genuine question, when I want shooty I just hop on vet lol

or I should say when I play psyker im in the mood to fuck around with staves and other niche stuff

[pale crescent]

God gave me a good autogun compared to my shop options

[supple skiff]

love it when the team gets tunnel vision on the boss in kill order lmao

[abstract cedar]

A godroll gun on a psyker isn't as good as a blue staff with mid stats

[nimble burrow]

finally naturaled a voidstrike, time to give it a whirl

[fierce hazel]

It is if it's a trauma staff

[warped perch]

Is the combat knife viable for psyker? I love the mobility

[grizzled iris]

1 Psyker vs all this

[simple junco]

If you had a knife you would've lived probably

[simple junco]

Refer to previous comment for your daily knife propaganda

(It's great as a mobility tool and dog stunner)

[abstract cedar]

Combat knife isn't a bad weapon, but psyker gets a dueling sword

[simple junco]

Gary the Hot Soup would never turn down a knife

Nah yeah, FS is great single target damage and knife is mobility. DS bridges that gap a bit.

[warped perch]

So I’m guessing you love the knife

😂

[haughty schooner]

Hey did someone mention knives? Love them so much am I right?

[naive dawn]

Yep

[wet jacinth]

I need Dueling Sword on Zealot to release my inner racist Witch Hunter Captain Within me

now onto zealot 😈

[dry pond]

now you can uninstall in peace. and rest easy

zealot? HERESY

[meager eagle]

i need to live out my sister of battle fantasy somehow

[dry pond]

oddly enough the montrous penance armor is almost exactly like sister carapace armor

[alpine portal]

gg now go out side 🙂

[meager eagle]

gonna go dip my toes in the snow

[plain talon]

The rebreather looks cooler than the psykana hood anyway

[alpine portal]

am I the only one who hates the tubes?

[ionic zinc]

Psyker brainburst should be able to one shot any enemy, but the time it take changes dependant on their health. Can kill basic enemies quickly, but takes longer to kill a bulwark. Basically Cassidy's ult from Overwatch

[warped perch]

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not haha

[ornate hamlet]

I just want a simple hood so I can make a jedi psyker

[alpine portal]

maybe its because I dont know what the tubes do lore wise

[ornate hamlet]

Hmm I think it should be relative to the size of the brain. Little brain ogryns burst quickly haha

[zenith gull]

I just learned about critical peril and it's a literal game changer. You can just spam cast non stop. Was this a mechanic in Vermintide? I never really touched Sienna

[ornate hamlet]

Critical peril?

What is this magic you speak of

[zenith gull]

So like you charge your spells up and it generates more peril but there's a flat amount that every cast does right?

That's why it's better to charge usually

But as long as you cast below critical peril you don't die

and critical peril is 97 I believe so anything below that you can cast and won't die

So you can use an ability, quell for like 1 second to 96 then cast another

Essentially eliminating the giant flat amount of peril cost that attacks have

[long wharf]

that works for BB

[zenith gull]

Yea exactly

[ornate hamlet]

Ah yeah. I've actually noticed you can get to 100 without being downed, as long as you immediately stop doing anything that would add peril

[zenith gull]

There are times where I was like oh shit I gotta quell I can't BB this elite

But now I always have it ready

[ornate hamlet]

I routinely get to 100 in a game but I manage it closely

[zenith gull]

I'm sure most of the vets here know about it but it is a massive mechanic to play around

[long wharf]

I also don't find myself wanting to BB every elite I see

[zenith gull]

Obviously your attacks are less effective since you aren't charging them up but being able to spam them is sick

[valid spire]

ragers smelly dont like em

[ornate hamlet]

I enjoy kinetic flayer so I don't need to BB manually

Although the warp battery is nice for the ascendant soulblaze

I just can't see the extra 2 soulblaze being worth losing BB on attacks

[zenith gull]

If you use it on a big horde though a lot of the time you generate the charges back instantly

I'm only playing tier 3 difficulty though

Since I play around with critical peril I save my ability purely for a defensive move

and it just works great with the soulburn

[ornate hamlet]

I've been playing tier 4 and really wondering why people were complaining about psyker because I'm routinely doing the most damage, getting people up, etc.

[naive dawn]

That's very objective Cpt Hook, I've played Psyker in Damn and I find it fine. I dont get the complaints of BB at all. You are just incredibly fragile as a Psyker but overall its not a weak class. Just definitely the most disconnected in terms of feats to weapons.

[ornate hamlet]

My veteran was good at doing high damage to individual targets but my god the psyker is insane at just obliterating an entire room of enemy

[haughty schooner]

12 MORE MINUTES FOR THE CASINO ROLL

[naive dawn]

You mean Melks wonder store of 300 sub modifier weapons?

[long wharf]

if you're doing the most damage, then you aren't playing with good players

every other class, including the ogryn, can out-dps the psyker

[zenith gull]

I would like Psyker to be tweaked a bit. It feels weird seeing soulburn in the feats when there's only 1 weapon that applies it (other than the talents themself). Idk the talents just feel off to me

But overall I think it's fine

[ornate hamlet]

I just mean that there will be a room full of enemies and you can see 90% of them dying to soulblaze routinely

[long wharf]

the feats are definitely wonky

[zenith gull]

Warp charges are also kind of weird because literally nobody wants to use BB

[long wharf]

yep

[ornate hamlet]

The vet might be doing more damage to single enemies but considering I can kill hundreds of enemies in seconds I don't see how that wouldn't be more damage overall? I don't know, just thinking

[long wharf]

focusing on building up warp charges is a waste of time and effort

[ornate hamlet]

Well, a hundred. "hundreds" might be a bit much lol

[long wharf]

the zealot kills the horde better

[zenith gull]

Yeah I've been rolling unarmored and carapiced armor damage on my surge staff

Just clear out all the ants

and let the veteran get the elites

[long wharf]

and vet kills elites better

[runic gate]

I'm a BB enjoyer.

[long wharf]

what the psyker does best is CC

[lethal crown]

is it just me or does the whole 10% to brainburst targets from warp attacks build up peril super fast?

i just noticed i had it on and random poxwalker heads were popping like balloons during lightning attacks

[zenith gull]

And playing around critical perial you can spam CC everything

Might not be the best damage but hey

[long wharf]

it doesn't build peril at all

it's a free BB

[ornate hamlet]

Yeah no peril, free BB

[lethal crown]

is it? idk it felt like it was going faster

[ornate hamlet]

lmao I hope you routinely walk around like that

[runic gate]

I'm out here d a i l y

[lethal crown]

why would it require you to be "under critical peril" if it doesnt generate any peril though?

they word things really weird

[runic gate]

Pig tattoo = extra warp charges for free

[nimble burrow]

drip spotted

[ornate hamlet]

the life changing secret the emperor doesn't want you to know

[zenith gull]

Mike, a theory I have theory that they might not want that talent to be a saving grace in a tight situation. If you are spamming your attacks and at max peril, then switch to your melee

[steel flame]

Now that's a mood right there

[zenith gull]

Maybe they don't want it to happen at that moment idk

[nimble burrow]

yeah that's me

[lethal crown]

or maybe they're just absolutely terrible at english

[zenith gull]

Yes probably that lol

[lethal crown]

lot of descriptions that make no sense

[zenith gull]

A lot of talents say (allies in coherancy) and I have no idea if that applies to me or not

[nimble burrow]

ME EITHER

[wise pumice]

think this will do for my high peril build. just wondering if there is anything else i can do with my feats to benefit high peril.
input super appreciated

still looking for a better purgatus though

[alpine portal]

you running max wounds? lo l

[zenith gull]

I know yall hate spending your warp charges but I think you should really give the middle feat a shot, I forget the name. Let your warp charges build up and use it purely as a defensive move only when you are getting overrun

[wise pumice]

i'll be consecrating it shortly

[zenith gull]

You gain them back really quick if you ignite enough mobs

From the passive

[wise pumice]

ill give it a shot. i dont mind warp charges and usually run ascendant blaze
