Best item in Sir milks store today lol..

summer prairie
#

Once full crafting is in the melk store will be worthless except maybe for getting rare blessings

thorny idol
keen belfry
#

I want the shop re-roll to come out

long wharf
#

the shop needs more than a reroll option

fast swan
#

whats the best map and strat for pick n mix?

#

if y'all know

orchid nest
#

the easiest is going to be a full group just helping you drag/tank some elites while clearing trash but if you mean like duo/solo I liked checking the map with the bridge in the beginning. chasm terminus I think? I confuse it and logistratum. good sight line to potentially a lot of elites with a decent spawn

mental vortex
#

worth it?

#

I dont really care about end game

#

just need some short term advice

orchid nest
#

I would just keep going with what you are using as well. if you see one with higher cloud radius and burn together grab it

rustic field
#

my force sword

long wharf
covert valve
#

what perk would be BIS to replace?

naive dawn
#

That staff is built for crit, so don't reroll crit %. Reroll maniac to maybe crit damage 10% if not that flak 25%. IMO.

fluid zenith
#

Why is it called Soulblaze when it is clearly your eyes that it burns?

hot zephyr
fresh reef
valid lake
#

so what's the go feat with the silently patched kine shield is it kine deflection

cyan notch
#

always has been

full kite
#

is the dumpstat on surge staff actually crit and damage if it's mainly for cc?

magic hull
#

ur watching meta gamers in action

gloomy obsidian
#

Why do you only get Non-psyker based quell weapons with Mission's End Reward

glossy pivot
#

yay or nay

hot zephyr
# glossy pivot yay or nay

1000% buy. Reroll the infested to maniacs and use the full auto in controlled bursts to take advantage of the perk.

hot zephyr
#

Source: I use a graia myself. If I had that roll I'd do the same thing

#

You could also potentially keep the infested too and reroll the specialist damage to maniacs if you wanted to as well.

#

But either way that's a emprahs blessing upon you

daring nexus
#

What’s the best blessing on a force sword besides deflector? I’m feeling shred

hot zephyr
#

Exorcist a close second

hot field
#

What slaughter do ?

austere estuary
#

Level 4 Unstable Power

#

"up to" 5% LUL

#

might be the worst single blessing for force sword atm

austere estuary
#

can be very strong

hot zephyr
sour bison
#

is it good? never used mk4

hot zephyr
#

Best quality Slaughterer gives 10% power per stack and stacks 5 times. Absolutely monstrous.

vagrant cedar
#

2s

hot zephyr
#

Wow. I honestly have never seen above a 10% slaughterer

#

That thing must absolutely smash if you can keep the stacks up.

sour bison
#

just keep killin

vagrant cedar
#

65dmg

#

mmmmm

#

idk idk

sour bison
#

its highest roll for fs

cyan notch
#

free damage for doing what you would have been doing anyway

sour bison
#

its oneshot for any unarmoread head from light attack

cyan notch
#

its only t3 though

#

wouldnt t4 be higher

sour bison
#

yeah but i never saw t4 slaughterer

#

it should be 15%

cyan notch
#

oh i thought u said 12.5% was the highest roll

ebon jolt
sour bison
#

also this fs two hits crusher with charge heavy with one stack on damnation

#

withouth slaugherer stacks

#

very nice fs

#

oneshot crusher if flayer proc

cyan notch
#

wdym

#

so how many stacks is it

#

you said one stack then you said without stack

sour bison
#

with crusher i ment siphon stack

cyan notch
sour bison
#

yeah

#

and mine have defflector

#

so yeah

#

feeling like im already won a lottery

#

with this fs

#

also this is just heavy attack

abstract cedar
#

this is my purgy

covert valve
#

if you had to pick from one of those perks u have which one would be priority

long wharf
#

100% Peril Transfer

sour bison
#

transfer is very good with void

long wharf
#

transfer is best for void

sour bison
#

its actually amazing

#

shame i dont have good void

#

only good purge and fs

robust meteor
#

i just the other day finally got a good void. never got a good trauma but thats okay with me

sour bison
#

just look at this boy

cyan notch
vestal wraith
#

Need some feed back

#

Do I buy or?

ruby meadow
cyan notch
#

yea its pretty good

robust meteor
#

perks are meh

vestal wraith
#

Yeah. The Ripsote Is good.

robust meteor
#

you'll just ping off of flak armor

vestal wraith
#

But Rampage Is not...

#

It a single hitting weapon

cyan notch
#

just grab it if you dont have a decent ds

vestal wraith
#

not a wide swing

robust meteor
#

block efficiency isn't good either since you 'll be able to dodge out of the way of almost everything easily

vestal wraith
#

Yeah

#

I don't think Its worth 2500

#

Cause I change the block stat

robust meteor
#

flag is useless tho

vestal wraith
#

but flak Ill Just be getting nothing outta It

robust meteor
#

flak

vestal wraith
#

Yeah

#

I don't think Its worth

#

even for reblessing

robust meteor
#

unless you're rich, maybe pass

vestal wraith
#

I have 4465 atm

#

and will get more for doing my weeklies

sour bison

alpine portal
#

we just tried the 90% brain burst pennence and failed no one hit it. only hit it with bb

#

any tips ?

cyan notch
#

sounds like u did something wrong

robust meteor
#

the game is bugged

vestal wraith
#

Yea

alpine portal
vestal wraith
#

must've done something wrong or game bugged

alpine portal
#

does the last hit need to be a bb?

#

just found out he did not bb the last hit

alpine portal
#

t4

vagrant cedar
#

you gotta do it on diff 4 iirc

fast swan
#

yo quick, is this a good enough role to upgrade?

vagrant cedar
#

very good

cyan notch
#

why not just bb to death lmao

fast swan
#

or too low power even tho good stats

cyan notch
#

why even chance it

fast swan
#

is good then?

#

excellent

vagrant cedar
#

very good

sour bison
#

its good

fast swan
#

joy

sour bison
#

warp resistance is meh anyway

#

on fs

fast swan
#

i learned thats the dump stat

covert valve
fast swan
#

hoping for deflector and what perks?

alpine portal
fast swan
#

crit chance?

cyan notch
#

id get stamina + block efficiency

#

but up to you

fast swan
#

yea i noticed the FS has no stamina

cyan notch
#

it does

#

just that psykers get 1 stamina base

#

fs is +2 stam default so u get 3

sour bison
#

what is even the point

cyan notch
#

for better block

sour bison
#

wow

fast swan
#

since that FS is only 333 power tho, wont the blessings and traits it get suck>?

vestal wraith
sour bison
#

shame we dont even need stamina

cyan notch
cyan notch
sour bison
#

covert valve

mental vortex
#

the emperor needs to stop giving me shops full of guns or Im gonna 6 stack blaze brain burst his ass

vestal wraith
mental vortex
#

both are pretty cheap

#

might as well buy them

vestal wraith
#

yE

fast swan
#

fuck i didnt get deflector

cyan notch
mental vortex
#

but it was 2 levels above me

#

couldnt level up in time

fast swan
#

so will i be able to reroll them blessings?

#

to get deflector?

mental vortex
#

in 7 months

#

yes

cyan notch
#

at least one yes

cyan notch
#

dont know if fs will lock the other one out like perks

fast swan
#

i imagine the uncanny strike is the one i want to keep right?

thorny idol
#

I need more Force Staff skins

fast swan
#

forgot what rending does but it cant hurt and is def better than 3% damage

mental vortex
#

wht is that

thorny idol
#

rending makes you better against armor iirc

mental vortex
#

it looks like an eye

cyan notch
#

new shop skin

thorny idol
#

it's meant to

mental vortex
#

dont quote me on that tho

fast swan
#

also the damage to maniacs and unyielding are pretty good, either worth rerolling?

mental vortex
#

might be wrong

thorny idol
#

first proper staff skin that changes more than part of the paint

fast swan
#

idk which perks i should focus on

cyan notch
#

reroll unyielding

fast swan
#

is maniacs just mutants and ragers?

mental vortex
#

I believe so

cyan notch
#

bombers

fast swan
#

still good

mental vortex
#

I mean trolling ragers is fun

#

but mutants dont care

lethal rain
#

tox flamers I think are maniac too

vestal wraith
#

Ye

thorny idol
#

if you go into meatgrinder at the psykhanium or whatever it's called, it'll tell you what each enemy type is

thorny idol
#

in terms of perks and damage

mental vortex
#

you can try rerolling for + elite damage

#

since thats way less spesific

orchid nest
#

the "teaching them to fish" solution to perks is you either decide if it's defensive and go that way and if you want offense you load up your desired difficulty and see how close you are to what breakpoints on important enemies and see if one of the perks would push you over and decide how much that would impact your build

fast swan
fast swan
sour bison
#

btw

#

do sweeds work in jan?

mental vortex
#

not sure if its on power sword tho

#

prolly is

fast swan
#

what are unyielding enemies?

light citrus
fast swan
#

is that also ragers and mutants?

mental vortex
thorny idol
#

anyone else had luck getting a power sword with deflector?

cyan notch
thorny idol
#

I so want a delfector sword

fast swan
mental vortex
#

aka big fuck with shield and big fuck with machine gun

#

dunno if the plague ogrny counts

light citrus
#

Dagger + Flayer + purg build is it good

mental vortex
#

you wont be using force sword against him anyways

thorny idol
#

How y'

fast swan
#

but like actually they better be finishing crafting soon

thorny idol
#

how y'all like my drip?

mental vortex
#

your drip is blind

#

but drippy

Cause here's how that outfit comes in shop

skully

fast swan
#

oh shit trappers are maniacs too

#

good

light citrus
split oxide
#

I like skins - but some of them are starting to look like Harlequins.

mental vortex
#

where shirtless for ogrny and zealot

thorny idol
#

all the skins so far make sense for the game lore

#

which I should point out, includes harlequins for the elves, lol

orchid nest
light citrus
mental vortex
#

if only they added features like they added skins this game wouldnt be so unfinished

light citrus
mental vortex
#

gun lugger ogrny

#

real

full kite
#

Is kinetic flayer the way to go

mental vortex
#

is that the %10 chance to brainburst one

thorny idol
#

yes

full kite
#

Ya

thorny idol
#

Kinetic Flayer is good for certain builds

mental vortex
#

its fun but

#

big but

#

with only 4 stacks your bb will be ass at heresy and above

thorny idol
#

if you wanna do something that needs warp charges without brain bursting constantly

light citrus
#

Flayer is good for dagger

split oxide
#

You might have struggled Penence Challenges and dropped Aquilas for your drip.

thorny idol
#

rapid fire weapons too,

light citrus
full kite
#

Ehh not using bb for elites just bombers and snipers mainly

mental vortex
#

why are stats capped at %80

#

I want %100 damage bolter

orchid nest
fluid zenith
#

What is the melee weapon that looks like a lightsaber made of lightning? (What my computer renders it as anyway)

thorny idol
#

I have a melee build I like but that really needs a deflector force sword, uses feats 1-1-1-1-3-2

light citrus
#

Psyker: Zealot dagger build

thorny idol
#

^this is my force sword build

#

fucking gucci

fluid zenith
light citrus
thorny idol
#

You can still do good crowd control with the force sword and peril build block

#

get them all lined up and either force blast them or let a teammate mop them up

light citrus
fluid zenith
#

I should probably do an actual build now instead of just "voidstrike go brr"

thorny idol
#

damn boy

light citrus
hot field
#

oh damn

thorny idol
#

lol

#

was wondering

rapid cliff
thorny idol
#

I' use the 456 one

#

I don't think brutal momentum is too helpful when every attack is strikedown

rapid cliff
#

That's what I was thinking, it may have less damage percentage and penetration but its got a lot of great perks and damage

thorny idol
#

so yea, First Target on a strikedown weapon is basically just bonus damage

#

which is why even though the game say it has lower rolls, it's higher

#

and like I said, you rarely do a cleave with it, I think only the push back attack has a cleave potential

hot field
#

is Kinetic shield or Deflection better if you have forcesword with deflector?

orchid nest
#

brutal momentum is the best blessing on antax. use push attacks to cleave and have peril block

thorny idol
#

good point

#

remind me what does kinetic shield do @hot field ?

hot field
#

Take between 10% to 33% reduced tougness damage from ranged attack base from perill

thorny idol
#

deflector absolutely

hot field
#

yee

thorny idol
#

cause Kinetic Deflection paired with a force sword with the Deflector perk

#

means you take 0% ranged damage while blocking and facing

hot field
#

I was using it up until I have a deflector sword

thorny idol
#

still good before

#

you can be an absolute wall holding back a mob from overrunning the team

#

if you time force push and block pushes well, you can hold back a horde indefinitely

hot field
#

also any best perk you want to have on sword apart from block efficiency

grizzled shoal
cyan notch
hot field
#

More stamina hmmm

light citrus
#

Use this one

abstract cedar
cyan notch
abstract cedar
#

Interesting

#

Thanks

light citrus
#

Peril is what you need

#

I am always over 90%

cyan notch
#

ok but that doesnt help with force sword blocking

light citrus
cyan notch
#

you dont want your peril to jump up so high you cant block bullets

light citrus
#

I know

cyan notch
#

idk why youre posting random pictures

cyan notch
austere estuary
#

had no idea

#

yea neither did i till recently

Which dueling sword do yall like the most?

Best blessings for surge staff?

thorny idol
#

GUYS

#

FINALLY

#

I've been buying any white or green force swords and upgrading them just to try and get Deflector

#

It's shitty rolls though compared to my current

light citrus
#

My bleeding dagger

#

My deflector sword is not good

thorny idol
#

better than mine

light citrus
#

My second buy from shop

#

Hard to find a better purg staff, is it this worth to upgrade

thorny idol
#

I haven't liked the Purgatus so not sure

#

usually plus crit is great though for things that do rapid damage like that

#

and 350 base is great

light citrus
#

I need this two blessing, why roll on the voidstrike one

#

My perfect roll

fluid knot
#

Guys.. Can BB crit?

worn heath
#

afaik no it cant

thorny idol
#

so, I think if you have kinetic flayer on

#

the ten percent chance to double brain burst a target is there

fluid knot
#

hmm.. Wanted to try a BB only build using the Crucian Roulette issue, will give a go tommora an report back

thorny idol
#

just hop in meat grinder and BB repeated on the crusher

warped perch
#

It annoys me that BB will normally one shot all unarmored specials except flamer

abstract cedar
#

What's the most damage BB can do? 900?

covert valve
#

need help which void staff is better!

#

the 468 rating on the right is better with warp flurry?

cyan notch
#

yes

lunar garden
#

So.... has anyone read or heard anything about the new psyker class?

crimson shell
#

the one on the right is definitely better

crimson shell
#

there are a few reddit posts about the leaks from data mined stuff

ornate hamlet
#

strike team 11

primal plume
#

Anyone else notice how the surge staffs alt fire can literally go through walls?

#

I tested it multiple times

fast swan
lunar garden
#

Something about the protectorate class.

#

Maybe some sort of tank-mage hybrid.

#

Sounds like, at least.

cloud heron
#

What do people use for the level 30 feat for the psyker? I really like the idea of the soulblaze one but I feel like it's either redundant with the purge staff or I struggle to generate charges with the surge staff. So that locks me into taking kinetic flayer, which locks me out of 6 warp charges for more powerful soulblaze. surge staff with kinetic barrage on the other hand leaves me without good horde clear.

white ocean
crimson shell
covert valve
#

have you guys tested transfer peril WITH quellitude? it doesnt seem like its working

cloud heron
covert valve
crimson shell
#

meaning anything you kill with it will generate you warp charges

cloud heron
#

yeah, but isn't using both the purge staff and the soulblaze ult kind of redundant?

#

like if I have the purge staff I would rather take kinetic barrage for more ranged utility

magic burrow
crimson shell
#

this ^

cloud heron
#

is that better than generating charges from kinetic flayer?

crimson shell
#

take both

magic burrow
#

also a 6 warp charge ult with the level 30 soulblaze perk deletes a horde

#

on damnation

#

so that's a good combo. On lower difficulties the other level 25 perks are decent too.

austere estuary
#

it's also very fun watching your 6 charges immediately refill

cloud heron
#

I'm only playing on heresy, so maybe damnation is different, but is the purge staff not already good enough at deleting hordes?

austere estuary
#

purge and lvl 30 flame feat is so good

#

the passive alone is great

#

very fast charge gen

#

which can be paired with either 6 charges for 18% damage boost on everything, or with the overcharging popping extra dots

#

which in turn help fuel extra charges and help you burn elites without necessarily even seeing them

crimson shell
#

for that exact reason

#

that way it builds faster on elites anyways

#

since you aren't exactly clearing them too quickly

austere estuary
#

I'm not certain, but I also think that the 30 flame feat allows you to gain those charges from any soulblaze, not just your own

white ocean
#

I found psyker a bit dull to play until I went with purg build with lvl 30 feat, incredibly fun afterwards. Only nuisance is gunners.. Cmon vets, do your job sfdlkhhkdlfsa

austere estuary
#

not 100% certain but it seems that way from when I end up with another psyker also using it and warpflame

cloud heron
#

So what about with the surge staff then? Still blaze but just let it be worse?

covert valve
#

have you guys tested transfer peril WITH quellitude? it doesnt seem like its working @austere estuary

void fable
#

Switching from Gamepass to Steam. So having to relevel characters. Psyker feels the least fun to relevel so far. You really feel not having the later feats and a decent staff.

austere estuary
#

the heck is quellitude

cloud heron
#

didnt really notice how bad it was since it was my first character on gamepass

primal fjord
#

For psykers who use dueling swords, is there a particular model that people prefer?

austere estuary
#

esp on surge

#

being able to turbo brainburst a bunch of gunners in a pinch is great

abstract cedar
#

that's what I use + the feat for faster ult cooldown on elite kill

austere estuary
#

or if you need to contribute damage on a monstrosity

abstract cedar
#

pop pop pop pop pop

austere estuary
#

which surge kinda sucks at

covert valve
austere estuary
#

oh that

#

it only works with active quelling

#

that's just how it works

#

ult won't do anything for it either

cloud heron
#

Does it? I'm pretty sure you regen toughness from ult

austere estuary
#

or the random quelling you get on 10% of kills

white ocean
austere estuary
#

Maybe I'm misremembering but I recall disappointment on all counts LUL

cloud heron
covert valve
austere estuary
white ocean
#

I do enjoy the 6 warp charges feat for purg, youre never less than 4 at any time

#

You can really feel the 2 extra soulblaze stacks from ult

covert valve
austere estuary
#

I wish we could get the gain charges from soulblaze separately somehow LUL would be hilariously good with the cooldown reduction

From Vet chat:

white sky
#

So what exactly is the psyker build with the 6D accatran? Someone in my queues was talking about applying BB on hit with it

cloud heron
#

kinetic flayer presumably

white sky
weary idol
#

I believe it is 1-2-3-1-3-2

#

(as in the skills from top to bottom)

white sky
#

Gotcha gotcha. I don't play psyker atm, I was just curious as to like

#

How it mechanically works

weary idol
#

oh the level 25 3 feat (Kinetic Flayer)

#

10% chance to brain burst on hit

cloud heron
#

kinetic flayer just gives a 10% chance on hit to do BB, with a 15s cooldown when it procs

white sky
#

Which is why you use the 6d

weary idol
#

yes

white sky
#

Cause it has an asinine fire rate

#

I gotcha

weary idol
#

it also crits stupid often

#

and one set of crit shots with infernus will burn a damnation mauler to death xd

white sky
#

I am aware, I quite like the things

#

It's no IAG tho

cloud heron
#

i'm not personally convicned the infernus blessing actually exists

white sky
#

It does

cloud heron
#

leaning more towards it being an internet wide prank on me specifically

white sky
#

If it makes you feel better

#

It isn't that good

split oxide
#

toughness regenerates - health doesn't?
i suppose at lower levels, chip-damage is all you get.
i suppose at heresy+ plus it's no good

cloud heron
fierce sinew
#

I think people tend overstate the relative value of one versus the other in general, at higher difficulties you aren't really allowed to take random hits regardless of the split you choose

orchid nest
#

One on the problems is that there is a lot of attacks that deal a high multiplier to toughness. a sniper deals like 10x damage to toughness, a shotgunner 4x, melee 4x I think. and more. so in the sniper example, if you have say 160 toughness instead of base, it will only save you like 6 damage on their 100+ damage hit or whatever

safe mantle
#

I have 220 toughness

#

with my vet

#

they still one shot your shiled and half your hp

#

in heresy

orchid nest
#

Well yeah, on vet you want toughness for sure since you start high and can regen very large amounts at once

#

or some at least. maybe 1 curio

#

Yeah. coherency regen is also static and not % so it actually favors low toughness for preventing chip damage

warped widget

got a pretty good rifle drop if I ever for whatever reason run a gun with a brainburst build

Axe/Dueling sword staff or gun doesn’t matter

Tbh this build is viable

#

It’s more of a mindset playing BB focused Psyker

whats the dump stat for trauma staff?

Ugh.... Melk managed to get nurgling-poop-tier garbage in Limited time acquisitions today.

placid shoal
#

Hi there, um. I'm a level 30 psyker and still feel like I have paper skin and glass bones

#

What can I do to fix lol

fast swan
#

kinetic deflector + force sword with deflector

shadow wigeon
#

T4 Kinetic Deflector also gives you unlimited push-block, because it does not cause stamina to block.

near wyvern
shadow wigeon
#

And you can tank a Demonhost eaily with a high mobility melee weapon

placid shoal
shadow wigeon
#

then tank away until you team realizes you are immortal

near wyvern
#

If you really want a BB build that would be 132233 or 132133

#

If you go with kinetic shielding stack toughness curios, otherwise 2 health 1 wound

placid shoal
#

I call them 'ead Bangs lmao

anyone have a easy way for pick n mix?

shadow wigeon
#

Obviously it'll help if you've tried it once, but it's actually quite chill. Keep your block up the whole time, and if your peril goes above 50%, dodge a bit.
Use a dagger or something fast.

#

so far in game ive seen zealot ogryn and pysker tank a dh

#

yet to see a vet do it

placid sorrel
#

does warp charge affect force weapons?

steel egret
#

Besides the 3% passive?

#

Probably not, but apparently affects F ability.

steel egret
magic hull
#

hey guys my game has been crashing constantly, does anyone experience the same issue?

steel egret
#

Zealot and ogryn or even psyker said setups dont really hinder rest of their play.

steel egret
#

If you have not already

bright river
#

You don't need a "setup" to tank a dh as a psyker. All you need is a non-force weapon and kinetic deflector (block for peril). Nothing else required even on damnation

#

So yeah, it doesn't hinder anything

fringe remnant
#

why non-force weapon?

bright river
#

Because it has large passive quell

#

Force sword has a really slow one

fringe remnant
#

thats interesting. how do you find that stat?

light citrus
#

The worse staff I roll again

magic hull
#

this update isnt doing well

fast swan

There are no quell differences between non-force weapons. So there isn't a stat for that you could find. Maybe with data mining.
Non-force weapon = fast passive quell
Force Sword/staff = slow passive quell

You have flayer. Meh damage every 15 seconds.

if you wanna minmax it that is

with a +1 stamina perk

i think its +3

My force sword is 3 too

fs is +2 yea so with 1 base u get 3

steel egret

Right

#

Really not worth it but I will give it a go

sonic coral

base ratings are not incredible, but I gambled through and got some solid stuff

steel egret
#

First one isnt bad.

sonic coral
#

I run high peril so this works nice for me

steel egret
#

What does this have to do with that?

sonic coral
#

the staff benefits from spam for multiple reasons

#

which raises peril, which is tied to feats

#

really wish the sword had better mobility and finesse though

steel egret
#

Sure but you dont have less warp resistance.

#

You have less charge speed.

sonic coral
#

if you look at the charge speed range, it's actually fairly narrow

steel egret
#

I know it doesnt matter

sonic coral
#

low charge speed, chained to speed with spam, means I can raise peril relatively quickly while also hitting high damage bursts

steel egret
#

Im just saying I dont see what that staff has to do with high peril.

sonic coral
#

one, what I just explained above
two, the second blessing

cyan notch
#

i guess charging longer gives u more peril

#

so in a kind of roundabout way

sonic coral
#

it's what bidniss folk call synergy

steel egret
#

Yeah but you generally just spam above malice.

#

Yeah its nonsense.

sonic coral
#

yes, correct, you do

#

and with this you benefit from that

#

I'm not understanding the disconnect here

steel egret
#

Im not seeing how this staff would be high peril beneficial.

sonic coral
#

read the second blessing

#

and there's a feedback loop between it and feats

#

because you can gain damage from high peril on force weapons, and etc. etc.

steel egret
#

Oh so you are entirely talking about the blessing yeah sure that I can agree on.

sonic coral
#

SO
SPAM - heighten peril
heightened peril - increased critical, increased feat damage

#

and spamming is easier with the chain blessing

steel egret
#

Considering it only gives first stack

sonic coral
#

that does not appear to be true

Cerebral Lacerations basically reduce boss effective HP to (32k - 1k) * (1-0.15) ~ 26.35k = 26350HP

Where the damage dealt by cerebral lacerations is 4.65k or 14.5% of total boss HP

We're talking a mild boost to party monstrosity damage as a tradeoff for Psychic Communion, administered through a Brain Burst that has to be reapplied every 5 seconds.

That's a pretty situational benefit to give up the Psykinetic's best Warp Charge generation for.

I don't mind using force sword with surge IF it has slaughterer. You can get away with no slaughterer with other staves but it feels pretty bad on heresy/damn on surge without it

its pretty quick to quell with staffs tho

#

takes like 2s

steel egret
manic needle

Slightly more than that and even if it were, thats 2 seconds where youre vulnerable and not attacking in a scenario where you have no support

orchid nest
#

things like antax have their upsides for sure but so does fs. you get more utility but have to active quell more. the main problem is no full crafting system and the incredibly specific force sword you really need for surge pairing

cyan notch

not really its basically like reloading

manic needle

every class to reload and be vulnerable for that short period of time its pretty easy to manage

Surge is very weak vs. Dregs, Poxwalker's and Maniacs

You have sword for that.

Force Sword, again, is terrible for horde clear. Like possibly the worst melee weapon in the game for it

#

Its fantastic for control and dealing with certain types of elites, but terrible for horde clear

steel egret
#

Nah 2 of the devils claws are worse.

manic needle
orchid nest

I feel like I am like talking to nobody but again that is why you need slaughterer on it. The baseline horde clear suck? Sure. Not every weapon just casually has a +75% power buff though.

And with force sword you atleast get special that does something.

devil's claw is really bad i think it needs savage sweep and wrath to be good

i got a max cleave damage cleave targets roll and man it does nothing to hordes

steel egret
manic needle
orchid nest
#

You will be a little behind an antax with a proper high tier slaughterer setup on the fs, mainly because of brutal momentum. It actually does more damage than antax push attacks though with the stacks rolling. It's still worse overall but not as much as you think. Again, the main problem is you need this perfect fs for it to be really good and no full crafting system

manic needle
# near wyvern While FS DPS versus horde is not the best, it doesn't mean FS is not good agains...

You keep saying things like "the force sword can be competetive with specific blessing,s when you're holding a chokepoint" whereas the Combat Axes is good even with suboptimal perks or in suboptimal scenarios.

Im not arguing that the Force Sword is bad - Im a big fan, especially with Voidstrike - but it's simply not specialized for Horde Clear and the difference between FS and Combat Axe is night and day.

near wyvern
#

Obviously any combat axe with brutal momentum is very good for horde clear but if we gonna go that route I will end my argumentation with one word. Purgatus.

This whole conversatoin started because we're talking about what melee to pair with Surge Staff lol

Versatile.

manic needle

I must be on ignore for them or something. I dunno how many times I can say the base isn't great for clear but it has damage blessings that are much more powerful than other weapons ones. Already said that antax is great for being easy to use with any old one and the main thing holding FS back for a surge pairing is how very specific it needs to be with no full crafting

id rather take fs over devils claw

#

@cyan notch Would probably be able to tell you better than me right now.

sonic coral
#

I'm guessing deflector pairs nicely with kinetic deflection and maybe quietitude?

cyan notch
near wyvern
#

It's more so that you have an extra stamina bar and then you can also utilise those infinite dodges

brisk panther
#

yeah i always use kinetic deflector. used a +2 stam curio earlier but since it seems bugged to only give +1 stam im using all hp curios instead. im mostly using the top one of the swords i linked which gives me a total of 46% extra block efficiency

steel egret
#

Regulars are 10, force sword apparently 20, staffs 30?

sonic coral
#

Interesting

summer prairie
#

I saw the kinetic deflection formula, but has anyone actually tested how much you generate running all stamina

#

and deflector

cyan notch
#

yea

brisk panther
summer prairie
#

well yes, or just +1 since it's all the same

manic needle
cyan notch
#

pretty hard to tell from bullets cuz they just spam you but i was able to tank a gunner until it had to reload and it only went up to 50%

brisk panther
cyan notch
#

damnation

orchid nest
#

which one would you guys replace though? prob carapace? I think the flak one lets you light special 1 shot the armored ragers instead of heavy, and it should let you heavy special a mauler in 1 if you aim it right. but then again, very minimal slaughterer stacks will also let you do that.

summer prairie
#

Oh that's pretty good

#

but regular weapons don't need the stamina anyway

#

other than afk blocking a daemonhost

#

was more interested in FS deflector

cyan notch
#

i only used a sword cuz it had +4 stamina and +1 from perk

clear heath
#

Does the stamina even matter if you're blocking with peril?

orchid nest
#

I guess carapace on it could be interesting too if it let you hit some kind of breakpoints with full slaughterer stacks so you could pop a crusher with horde mobs around

summer prairie
#

The formula for peril gain is (Attack Stamina Damage * 0.25 / Max Stamina)% of Peril.

#

so yes

clear heath
#

interesting

#

How does block efficiency work on that formula?

summer prairie
#

I guess it lowers attack stamina damage

orchid nest
#

I don't think anyone knows for sure but what @summer prairie is speculating there is probably correct

clear heath
#

good to know

cyan notch
#

well not full its 90%

manic needle

on paper I guess but the more efficient it is the more passive quell will fight it to the point where you can just like tank anything indefinitely
