psyker-class

[viral solstice]

get a staff with crit per peril

and i have 100% crit chance on left click ish

[orchid venture]

the problem was that two veterans thought they were impervious to gunfire and walked into LOTS of gunfire

[full kite]

pog we are now mage-gunners

[viral solstice]

and the staff still crits on its normal lighting

[lapis bay]

They're also known for killing things quicker than a 9 sec BB, and if you're getting killed through an ogryn then chances are hiding and praying for BB to finish its long ass casting speed doesnt make much difference than finding cover and shooting

[mighty vault]

I definitely want to build crit around the worst projectile in the game, while I'm thinking about it

[full kite]

fuck the vets they can keep their ammo

[viral solstice]

just multi is bad

does force sword special attack crit

[mighty vault]

yes

[viral solstice]

oh hell yeah then crucian roulette force sword

get it while it exists

[full kite]

aww yeah one shot everything

[orchid venture]

what was that one force sword blessing... Bloodlust or something

[mighty vault]

buttlust

[fluid knot]

I could actually easily do that, which isnt something i had previously considered, got a revvy with it on

But that does mean using revvy and im not sure how i feel about that

[hot zephyr]

If you're starving for ammo on Gun Psyker, you are using your gun too much. Melee and BB doesn't cost ammo. Bullets are for mutants, dogs, trappers, flamers, and bombers. Shooting anything else is suplus ammo use you can avoid if you need to

[mighty vault]

Revolver can't build 100% crit, it's like per missing bullet.

[viral solstice]

its per 10% ammo

1 stack

[mighty vault]

Err, it definitely isn't percent missing

[manic needle]

Bloodthirsty isnt limited to Force Swords iirc, if thats the one you're referring to

[mighty vault]

unless they changed that

[viral solstice]

look at the lua

oro

its 10% ammo

[mighty vault]

so the description's just wrong?

[viral solstice]

yes

completely

[dull python]

here we go again

[full kite]

shit oro

[hot zephyr]

If you've got 2 vets stealing all the ammo, lean on BB and melee a bit more. If you've got an overwhelming surplus of bullets no one is taking, start blasting away like the 4th of July

[viral solstice]

its 2 stacks per shot on reovlver

[mighty vault]

Typical

[full kite]

do not read the description

[viral solstice]

its why people thought there was a crit chance cap

[fluid knot]

Ragers an Maulers is my go to to piss bullets into tbh, because going toe to toe with them in melee as psyker suuuuucks

[mighty vault]

Fair enough, didn't know that

[viral solstice]

not yoru fault

fatshark moment

[full kite]

my favorite fatshark moment

[lunar hollow]

i can never go back to gun psyker after the dopamine rush that is voidstrike

[full kite]

is if you're playing with a zealot and your toughness keeps regenning to full

just thank fatshark

[lapis bay]

You can force push them mid combo if your timing is perfect and it's one rager. For maulers, backdodging and BB works if your gun is outta ammo

[viral solstice]

ive been doing crit void strike on my psyker

[hot zephyr]

I melee Maulers, I find the swings pretty easy to dodge unless it's a mauler pack, and Ragers are a 1 hit with charged warp sword and buffs up.

[viral solstice]

but i need a perfect roll void strike staff with soulblaze on crit and crit per peril

and cant get it

but i goit a 4% shred axe

[tender terrace]

DANG DARKMASS GOT MELKIES

[full kite]

pew pew gunpsyker op

[tender terrace]

HELL YEAH

[manic needle]

I would think that for a crit Voidstrike build you would want Surge as at least one of your blessings

[viral solstice]

the funny thing about voidstrike is tho

[fluid knot]

I dont use force sword though I can deal with them mano el mano without any problems, but if you do take a hit on higher settings that shit hurts so i'd rather avoid it altogether

[mighty vault]

the soublaze blessing seems pretty underwhelming

[viral solstice]

probably i just like the blue fire

[hot zephyr]

I can respect using bullets on Ragers and Maulers tho. If you are mag dumping into a horde of poxwalkers with an autogun or kantrel you're just doing it wrong

[lapis bay]

Yeah Staff Psykers can be our CC pets and gunpsykers are where the big dick damage come into play

[viral solstice]

but the funny thing about the void strike staff

is that the void strike left click has great crit multi

but the charged shot... doesnt

different kind of void i guess

so the left click spam dps goes up dreamatically

[manic needle]

I mean its pretty but the ability to one-shot crit Crushers shouldnt be shrugged off

[hot zephyr]

Yeah that's fair. I run Chainsword too, deflector can be a crutch if you overly depend on it so I like to switch it up

[full kite]

I hate having to babysit staff psykers sometimes tbh

[lapis bay]

They call us Gunker cause we make gunk out of everything in the field with our massive and impressive firepower

[fluid knot]

Yeah thats peak dumb dumb, actually there is one situation where its somewhat acceptable and thats if a horde is coming round a corner because for whatever reason they seem to want to do that in single file. Dunno why, but yeah

[viral solstice]

i literalliy just want it because it makes a ripple of fire

thats about as far as i have the build planned

[lunar hollow]

i've seen hordes literally all jump over a 2 feet by 2 feet table when they could go around on either side

[mighty vault]

Except a stream of purgatus fire would be better there too

[fluid knot]

Yeah true, Ive still not gelled with Chainsword yet myself, any insights?

[orchid venture]

is it a bug that my cosmetics page has a notification next to it, when I very much do not have something new?

[lunar hollow]

they all landed on the ground, lying down. made the horde much easier

[fluid knot]

Yeah that happens a lot too

AI pathing is kinda odd in this title

[lapis bay]

We let our pet CC psyker with their taser sticks stun the enemies while we do the real damage

[viral solstice]

i wish surge staff coudl get burn on crit

fire lightnin

[mighty vault]

Surge should have a blessing that makes enemies explode when they die

[full kite]

I play surge psyker but damn every time I see elites and specials I make them my bitch but then like 5 groaners or poxwalkers walk by and Im like shit team halp

or I take 10 seconds to kill these fuckers instead of doing muh job

[mighty vault]

good thing you brought that...idk, knife

or axe or whatever

[lapis bay]

Lucky for you I always carry an axe

[manic needle]

Thats why you should pair Surge staff with a cleaving weapon rather than Force Sword

[full kite]

I run force sword

yes but but

the lightning stun into soul succ combo

is so fun

[orchid venture]

oooo.... 375 voidstrike staff in my shop...

[lapis bay]

I love how bad the animation is for the surge staff. Looking like a mix between palpatine and a preying mantis

[mighty vault]

FS can cleanup a few nerds without issue anyway

[orchid venture]

but the damage rolled a 59%....

[manic needle]

Force Sword is a great weapon with lots of utility and elite-killing potential, but the passive quell + horde clear on a good mk.5 axe is a great pairing with Surge

[viral solstice]

what's the surge blessing btw i can't remember them off the top of my head

[full kite]

yeah it's just annoying killing 1-2 things at a time

[mighty vault]

into the trash

[manic needle]

You hit twice when you crit

[viral solstice]

oh literally never seen that one

would deffo take that

[mighty vault]

Me neither

[viral solstice]

das dope

[manic needle]

It's ultra rare

[viral solstice]

u know

that sfunny

[manic needle]

It literally isnt even on gameslantern and other similar sites

[viral solstice]

because i was looking at the lua

and i was wondering which weapons got double shot on crit

now i know

[orchid venture]

yeah I already have a 355 voidstrike that's better than the shop one, so whatever

[viral solstice]

so yeah definitely that with crit per peril. they should just have a feat in the tree that gives u soulblaze on crit anyway its fun

things should be green

[mighty vault]

Yeah it's pretty cool to just literally have no access to things sometimes because of RNG, haha

what a good system to build your game around

[manic needle]

The problem is that blessings like Surge and Power Cycler only spawn in at T4, so the only way to get one is through Melk, consecraton, or an insanely lucky emperor's gift

[hot zephyr]

1. Practice CS using a Purge Staff and the build 3/2/1/2/1/3 rather than with the gun because it's less forgiving.
2. Horde clear with Block > Push > Heavy > Heavy > Light > Light > Repeat
3. Single Target clear with Block > Push > Activate > Light > Heavy

[mighty vault]

I'm also reasonably certain they nerfed rank 3 blessing rates in the store at some point.

I got all my best shit in the weeks before and immediately after launch, with just pure garbage since

[fluid knot]

Dunno that i'll use purga as i have the melee out most of the time anyway, but i will try those attack chains, thanks bud 🙏

[manic needle]

Yep, you have to go to Sire Bilk to look for rank 3/4 blessings consistently

Pretty much the only reason I would spend weekly tokens is for his potential blessings, since his actual inventory is consistently really bad

[viral solstice]

scrip farming going well

[mighty vault]

Well yeah, I think the only reason anyone buys melk stuff is to peel off the blessings later

hopefully, anyway

[tender terrace]

working as intended

[mighty vault]

Although I did get a pretty sweet PSYKERKNIFE from the requisitorium once

[lapis bay]

Keeps the game perpetuated. I am almost certain they’re going to bring a mechanic where people can swipe for better RNG

[mighty vault]

I hope so, then I can quit with no regrets

[hot zephyr]

Once you get the player-skill stuff and figure out if you like it, +% to flak armour or infested depending if you wanna focus on elites or horde clear with it, and then add either +1 stam or +15/20 Block Eff to round it out.

[lapis bay]

It’s a loss we will all feel, friend.

[mighty vault]

https://tenor.com/view/no-ragrets-no-regrets-fail-gif-4946750

[fluid knot]

Yeah block efficiency aint a bad shout tbh. Gotta be flak though 100%, so many enemies come under that branch

[lapis bay]

Joking aside I hope they tighten the belt on some of the random generated elements. I wonder how the hadron blessing combination system will work

[mighty vault]

+3 Wounds and +15% Block Efficiency 4 lyfe

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, the CS has enough block value naturally that you don't have to peril block with it. I actually have 2 different chainswords I use for peril block vs stam block builds.

[mighty vault]

It's just 3 for 1 of the next rank up

[fluid knot]

Question.. Does block efficiency decrease peril buildup should you run both?

[balmy zealot]

opinion on this staff?

[mighty vault]

uhhh

[lapis bay]

That is a spark plug

[hot zephyr]

Yes, I recall someone on here tested and found Block Eff does reduce the peril generated by blocking.

[mighty vault]

it ain't great suh

but it'll stun 'em

[lapis bay]

I honestly had no idea damage could go into the single digits tbh

[mighty vault]

stun 'em real good

[lapis bay]

Less than lethal option right there

[fluid knot]

interesting

[mighty vault]

Someone got on my ass because I hadn't done testing with a 0% roll yesterday

First I'd heard of anything rolling below 30%

[solar fossil]

does the V on missions just mean its easier

[manic needle]

Really good for your Darktide pacifist playthrough

[full kite]

I'd pick it up cause I don't expect myself to do much damage with surge anyway and hope teammates are smart enough to kill things I stun

but im newbie psyker

[mighty vault]

Sure does good damage to things with metal hats, though

[lapis bay]

Low intensity means less enemies in general

[solar fossil]

yeah so like just easier?

[sinful stream]

20 minutes hab dreyko is up. gonna be grinding the first area to try and get pick n mix. would be great if anyone joined so the bots stop killing the elites - steam code in name

[full kite]

high quell speed is nice for spamming lightning at 90%+

[solar fossil]

does it give you less money or something?

[full kite]

and high charge rate

[mighty vault]

Oddly it gives you more

[solar fossil]

whatt hows that work wtf

[lapis bay]

Yeah definitely easier. For people who want the rewards, the enemies, but don’t wanna do the higher levels

[mighty vault]

Just shames you for being a baby

All the modifiers give you more money.

[lapis bay]

It counts as a special circumstance/modifier which gives you plus rewards

They’re almost always worth it just for the rewards and the memes

[mighty vault]

They do get pretty boring, though

[lapis bay]

Unless you’re a surge staff psyker, then it’s usually tough enough

[hot zephyr]

Now, just to be clear, the same person who claimed they tested this also said they found that there is a benefit to just having more stam over pure block eff. So it'll be up to you to find that balance. My one build I have +1 stam on the CS and then 30% block eff via 15x2 curio perks, the other I run peril block and only run 20% block eff and no extra stam.

[mighty vault]

I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened.

[viral solstice]

stam curios dont work rn anyway so its kinda

[manic needle]

I cant stand Low Intensity, Id rather just play a difficulty lower if it's the only option, especially if there's a high intensity mission available in that tier.

[fluid knot]

Yeah i'll have to take a look at that, thanks for the insight mate, appreciate it 🙏 Good lookin out

[hot zephyr]

All good in the psychic hood mate.

[full kite]

fatshark fix my +9 stamina build

[mighty vault]

Cardiopsyker = KICK

[full kite]

can't kick me if you can't catch me

[lapis bay]

Low heresy seems to be like a regular malice in some runs, except with more rewards and cooler mobs imo

[lapis bay]

Bruh my biggest complaint for psyker is how they move like they all have cardiovascular disease compared to other classes

[mighty vault]

Cooler mobs? Does something not spawn in malice that does in heresy?

[lapis bay]

Yeah better players

[manic needle]

The main advantage is that I can clear faster and work on weeklies while I kill time for a better mission to pop up

[mighty vault]

you got it backwards

[manic needle]

Ordo Dockets and experience arent really important for me anymore

[mighty vault]

All the gunpsykers and scrublords flock to heresy to do penances

[ebon jolt]

At least they have the fastest stamina regen delay even if they have lower max stamina 😞

[mighty vault]

And by "do penances," I mean beg to be carried while they do stupid shit and don't participate

[solar fossil]

void staff is so fun

[summer prairie]

I'm looking at the crafting code and there's code for extracting both "perks" and "traits" from weapons and replacing them

[solar fossil]

i switch between surge and void and i just love void

[full kite]

the fact that you can slide spam on dueling sword 5 and regen to 100% stamina each time is hilarious to me

[mighty vault]

Aren't the names reversed and perks are what blessings are actually called?

[hot zephyr]

I wish I was better with void. Like I can do it, but I just don't feel that comfortableness needed to bring it to heresy+ yet

[summer prairie]

but it's still two different things you can extract

doesn't make much sense with perk rerolling though

[mighty vault]

Yeah, refining would be the trait change, right?

Or what do you mean extract, saves the variable in another inventory somewhere so you can re-apply it?

[summer prairie]

extract_perk_from_weapon, extract_trait_from_weapon, replace_trait_in_weapon, replace_perk_in_weapon, reroll_perk_in_item, fuse_traits

yes that is extracting

[mighty vault]

Oh, idk, maybe they just copy-pasted it so would be available if they decided to implement it at some point

[lapis bay]

"Fuse traits"

[summer prairie]

possibly

[full kite]

you know

I feel like they didn't impliment that yet

[summer prairie]

fusing is just the blessing combining thing they talked about

[mighty vault]

Fuse traits is what I was telling you.

[lapis bay]

I know it's just great to see it twice

[full kite]

cause it's probably able to extract and place any blessing on any weapon

[exotic compass]

I managed to get the penance about bursting 5 elites

[mighty vault]

Combine 3 rank 1s to get a rank 2

[full kite]

and they're probably tryna fix that

that's just my guess

[exotic compass]

I got a really good recon las with burn dot

[manic needle]

Are you implying that the crafting system is incomplete, sir? 🤔

[full kite]

damn let me finish

[exotic compass]

I killed Rager with 4 sec

[mighty vault]

Also it seems unlikely you'll be able to bless a weapon with a type that can't roll on it naturally

[solar fossil]

i think it helps that ive been using void since i unlocked it early level. Something that a lot of people seem to overlook about void is that it doesnt explode on impact of enemy, only on impact with terrain. This makes it insane in tight hallways or if long hordes are coming at you, as you can just take down enemies by the row

[exotic compass]

This game kept throwing me good guns for psyker

The burn Dot is very overpowered

[lapis bay]

You mean I cant put bleed on my purgatus? ;_;

[exotic compass]

I hope my sharpshooter character have this thing

[mighty vault]

Someone else was saying that shit earlier, like this ain't binding of isaac

[hot zephyr]

interesting.... did not know that about the impact/blast.

[mighty vault]

There's no way they're gonna do the testing necessary to make everything work with everything somehow

[exotic compass]

I don’t use guns

For me, the synergy ain’t good

[mighty vault]

Infernus on a recon las is a lot of fun, yes.

[lapis bay]

Imagine soulblaze on infernus rifle on psyker. Checkmate, ableists

[mighty vault]

I have one with rank 4, it's lit

(get it)

[solar fossil]

Its really useful to know, I didnt know about it for a while either. If you see a small bunched up group of enemies you'll always want to aim at their legs to trigger the explosion of the staff, if theres a big group you want to shoot threw them

[mighty vault]

Maybe when the gunpsyker subclass comes out

[hot zephyr]

That very likely explains my misplay with it tbh.

[exotic compass]

The random brain-burst as a result of non warp weapon is good

For completing my penance

I tried that for 3 days

[manic needle]

Wait you didn't? Heretic Bowlng with Voidstrike projectile is like the voidstrike's biggest strength tbh

You can just tear long streaks through hordes

Better yet, with Transfer Peril you can have effectively unlimited usage as long as you aim for the head

[hot zephyr]

I mean yes, but I didn't realize the explosion was on terrain. I really only used the voidstrike for a while when I was leveling up and not much since because I just felt it was weak. But that information kinda makes me understand why it was a problem

It was more I didn't understand how to use it than an issue with the weapon

[manic needle]

Ahh I see. Yeah its on impact and deals 12-30 damage or so depending on how close the enemies are

[sinful stream]

pick n mix is making me wanna kms. its my last one

[manic needle]

it's not great outside of staggering

[mighty vault]

it's easy but you can't really force it. Just play the game.

[hot zephyr]

Felt like it just "randomly" exploded sometimes, cus I didn't get how to forcibly trigger it, cus I didn't realize to aim for the floor

[solar fossil]

is this only melee/physical attacks or do all attacks count

[manic needle]

Or just any doorway since Voidstrike has serious collision issues with most of them 😛

[manic needle]

All attacks

Even BB

[hot zephyr]

Bullets trigger it too. As do staff blasts as well

[mighty vault]

Honestly most of these penances seem designed so that you just get them naturally after playing a lot of the class, but people get all twisted up in trying to cheese them and get it as soon as humanly possible they ruin the game for themselves

[solar fossil]

Seems pretty good, sadly all of the feats in that row seem amazing

[echo parrot]

Can you blame them when there are barely any cosmetics in the game that arent prem.

[mighty vault]

Yes and no, really.

It's a first person game but a lot of people are weirdly "unlock" oriented.

[echo parrot]

Reskins do not count as unique models

[hot zephyr]

I find the lvl 25 perks to be some of the weaker ones honestly.

[covert valve]

true but i think the 90% dmg on brainburst on a monster would probably not happen naturally..

[mighty vault]

Like the game is not fun for them at all outside of "unlocking" the next thing

[mighty vault]

It seems like a clutch situation.

[echo parrot]

Im not unlock oriented, I just like to look good.

[manic needle]

Flayer is really good for Warp Charge longevity. For elite kills it works better if you're using a weapon that targets relatively fewer enemies or gives you more control over which ones you're hitting

[mighty vault]

Something that would eventually likely happen on a higher difficulty once you played a lot of psyker

[hot zephyr]

Warp Battery is only good in builds that also use Communion, Kinetic Overload is just awful cus you can't control what it targets, and Flayer falls off really hard in damnation because BB doesn't deal enough damage to kill the target most of the time so you don't get a warp charge.

[mighty vault]

Although I think that was also likely conceived around old brainburst values, since using nothing but BB now is kind of stupid

[exotic compass]

I am currently using combat knife. But it is hard to clear trash somehow

Should I stick with force sword?

[mighty vault]

Warp battery is a great example of something that will just happen if you just play

As soon as consignment yard went live, I got it without trying in the finale

[exotic compass]

Got some KF2 flashback

[mighty vault]

I suspect enclavum baross would be similarly simple

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, like I use it on my Purgatus Build, cus 6 stack AB ults are just a literal horde killdozer

[solar fossil]

I thought kinetic targets elites

[mighty vault]

Wait, are we talking about the penance or a feat?

I mean the penance. If that's not the name of the 5 minute full stacks one, my bad

[solar fossil]

Your argument for flayer makes sense but I feel like overload seems pretty good

also whats the best level 30 feat

[hot zephyr]

yes, but you don't control which elite it goes on. And 4 stacks by itself really isn;t much damage to an elite. Need multiple applications to have any real effect

[wet jacinth]

[solar fossil]

i got all of these before i got this

im still low level dont judge 🙏

[hot zephyr]

Not Quicken. the other two are great depending what you want. KB for BB chains, AB for horde killdozer.

[solar fossil]

Quicken definitely seems pretty bad

[manic needle]

Psyker is for when you want to have Warp Battery but not Warp Battery, Mind Over Matter but not Mind over Matter, and use Psykinetic's Wrath but not Psykinetic's Wrath

[stone palm]

you posted to flex, so I will judge. first one you got help from team so its easy af, the other two you can get at first game at lvl 1 anyway

[solar fossil]

is wrack and ruin any good or no

[solar fossil]

Absolutely true

[wet jacinth]

When Malleus Monstronum used to be 100% hp

[raw breach]

How would my fellow Psykers feels if BB got reworked to be a channeled cast that did high damage over time, but you could continue channeling damage on that target until a.) it dies or b.) you reach max peril and have to stop channeling. Could maybe even allow for ult use to not break BB channel for extra monster damage.

[solar fossil]

also how can a pysker infinite block a daemon host

[stone palm]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-true-thats-pretty-true-train-wrecks-tv-gif-17236902

[ebon jolt]

Sounds like a cool ability.

[wet jacinth]

Non-force weapon. Use kinetic deflection

[summer prairie]

on damnation you'll need to do plenty of dodging, at least if you don't go full bcr and stamina

[hot zephyr]

Absolute garbage. Just basically pretend it doesn't exist until they buff it.

[stone palm]

I would like it as a feat so you can play both sides

[manic needle]

Seems like a good way to trigger a Daemonhost if someone kills your target and it skips to it

[tender terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/trainwreckstv-rage-trainwrecks-gif-18782902

[wanton cove]

I use kinetic barrage

[raw breach]

The target dying would stop the cast, you'd have to pick a new target to start channeling again

[ebon jolt]

I think it needs more of a rework rather than a buff. It can become broken really easily if they just add more stacks and make the AOE wider.

[solar fossil]

Warp absorption seems really good for crowd control, is it better then quietitude

[wet jacinth]

Make The Daemon Host Inflict burning.

[long wharf]

okay, whose private parts do I need to place on/in/around my face in order to get some help testing multiple psyker AB shenanigans?

[manic needle]

Then it would be workable. IMHO I would like it if they just brought back the full CC on channeling from the closed beta

[stone palm]

I went Warp Absorption till lvl 30, then essense harvest is best imo

[mighty pike]

what was it like during beta? target stunned the entire brainburst?

[solar fossil]

wait essence harvest

i felt like that would be the wrost

worst*

[wet jacinth]

I've always ran Quietitude

[manic needle]

target stunned, low cost to cast, and I cant remember if it was faster channeling or not

[stone palm]

at lvl 30, you get warp charges out the ass with Ascendant Blaze

[raw breach]

giving the option to use either version would make that feat a stronger option than most other feats, where would it go? In place of Quicken for the 30-1 to let you choose between channeled cast feat or kinetic barrage?

[wet jacinth]

At first it is the worst. Until you get both of the warp charge gaining feats

[solar fossil]

I see, makes sense

[long wharf]

you don't get warp charges as reliably as you quell toughness

[hot zephyr]

Warp essence is better in low level play up to malice, you'll be able to one shot most elites with BB and gain charges easily.

Quietitude is best for high level play in heresy+, you'll frequently want to utilize passive quelling and your ultimate peril dump also triggers it for a big toughness gain.

[raw breach]

nope, the only difference was that the stun started immediately rather than halfway into the cast as it is now

[solar fossil]

warp essence = warp absorption or essence harvest?

[stone palm]

yeah get rid of quicken, it feels ass to use imo. but no need to make it "OP", just better than others in some situations

[hot zephyr]

Sorry I always get that one mixed up. Essence harvest for low level.

[solar fossil]

ah, tysm

[manic needle]

No it was definitely cheaper to cast too. 45% base cost was something that was tweaked and added into the pre-order beta

ANd ofc its stayed the same up until now

[solar fossil]

does warp battery affect ascendant blaze?

[sinful stream]

yes

[manic needle]

It does

[solar fossil]

mmm

that seems pretty good together 🤷

[wet jacinth]

6 stacks vs 4 stacks

[manic needle]

Ascendant Blaze applies stacks equal to your Warp Charges at the time of casting

[sinful stream]

6 stacks melts almost any standard unit

[wet jacinth]

[hot zephyr]

Yes. 6 stack dumps are absolutely hilarious. I got the penance for Killing Frenzy because of it

[wet jacinth]

Me who got it using purgatus just because the soul blaze last hitting the enemies

[solar fossil]

I see, I just didnt know if it was stupid and capped at 4

[raw breach]

the most important note is that it applies that amount of stacks to ALL targets it hits.

[stone palm]

Its fun to 6 stack dump but I usually go with Kinetic Flayer at 25 as another warp charge gain. You hardly need to head pop

plus it comes in clutch sometimes

[wet jacinth]

Idk how many times it insta killed a Rager within range of me

[stone palm]

I like to use it with lightning staff as it has really high chance of triggering every 15

[wet jacinth]

I use purgatus

[red wind]

is force sword any good? outside of the deflector blessing

[manic needle]

Can you imagine how worthless AB would be for anything other than Purgatus staff if it split your stacks and applied each one to an individual target? God that would be awful, especially for a level 30 feat

[wet jacinth]

It's alright

[stone palm]

I swap around, mostly lightning coz I dont trust pubs with killing elites

[copper raft]

It is also aesthetically satisfying to see someones head explode while being electrocuted

[stone palm]

very true

[hot zephyr]

Flayer falls off in damnation tho. At heresy and below it's great, but you don't get the killing blow with the KF proc hardly ever in Damnation so you don't gain the stacks from it, which is half the reason to take it

[wet jacinth]

Force sword lacks in horde damage

[dull haven]

Best 5 feat?

[manic needle]

Good control and elite killing potential, especially vs. Hounds and Mutants.

[dull haven]

Im almost thinking Flayer

[manic needle]

Can also stunlock things like Crushers but doing so can leave you vulnerable, so be careful

[wet jacinth]

Either battery or flayer imo

[fast swan]

flayer is pure dopamine

[stone palm]

that hasn't been my experience. hp thresholds arent big heresy->damnation for a lot of shit.

[tender terrace]

i dont feel like this is the case at all in my, so far, limited experience

actually started to enjoy it when im just swinging my sword at dumb shit for no reason and it connects on a cleave and bb's a 2nd trash mob i never intended to hit and kills it

[wet jacinth]

Flayer is also just a free warpcharge when killing chaff

[stone palm]

flayer is just great at creamy sheev RPing

[wet jacinth]

It still does chunk dmg to bigger threats as well

[stone palm]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-smile-nice-gif-20085456

[tender terrace]

plus when it bb's something you're killing anyway it's good for keeping stacks, like i see it proc when i kill with something else and gives me a stack anyway

[hot zephyr]

It's just how the breakpoints fall. It's not a bad feat or anything. I'm just saying you won't maintain stacks with it by itself at high levels. You'll need to actively use BB or use Communion in your build as well.

[analog wasp]

I've been using the force sword without deflector because I haven't found it yet. It's still good because the short push pushes in a 360 degree arc. So you can basically stun lock enemies around you for a short time. Helps when you get surrounded and need to move. I've found it works best when you get the perk 25% damage vs infested so that you can one shot pox walkers with a heavy swing on damnation. It's my favorite weapon in the game.

[stone palm]

I tend to just use BB more in Damn just coz of the shit trying to constantly murder you at range

[wet jacinth]

Ah yeah. Flayer can also trigger on Brainbursts as well = double BB chances

[viral solstice]

[wet jacinth]

[stone palm]

[viral solstice]

ok so gun psyker with XII is obviously op and too easy. obviously the 1a is the connoisseurs choice

[wet jacinth]

1a is the Green balanced one ain't it?

[stone palm]

the real range gem is the headhunter for psyker

[viral solstice]

the 1a is the one that does half the damage of the XII with the same ammo efficiency in return for a marginal RoF bonus

its perfect for when u want to make sure no veteran in a 3mile radius gets ammo

which, frankly, GOOD

[wet jacinth]

Ye.. so it's the balanced one

[stone palm]

Imagine shooting anything more than 1ce with XII anyway

[viral solstice]

[stone palm]

Veteran master race

[viral solstice]

oh wait you mean like balanced in the sense of

like "not op"?

[wet jacinth]

Blue ones are speed over dmg
Green balanced
Tan = power over speed

[viral solstice]

oh right sure thats the idea but in this case its just the shit one

thats how i think about it

its beautiful

[analog wasp]

The best staff I've used is the void staff. It's so freaking good. Clears mobs and let's you snipe enemies.

[wet jacinth]

It's the balanced inbetween one so eh

Hence it's "Versatile"

[hot zephyr]

If you wanna use all the ammo in a 12 mile radius. Get a Columbus Mk5. 40+ round mag and 13.33 ROF. You can burn an entire ammo box in like a minute.

[viral solstice]

i done that too much

i have like 5 godroll columnus V on zealot

including one ff8% one with 80 damage stopping power

thing is still unusable i love it

god i love that they made that gun its so perfectly bad in every way

i want to marry it

[stone palm]

if you really want this, take the high RoF recon

[viral solstice]

thats on the list next

gotta find one

with shit enough properties to really make it the dream

an agri IX headhunter is the ideal shitpost but

[stone palm]

buy?

only 9.5k shekels

[viral solstice]

ammo 25% = 100% buy

[wet jacinth]

Btw. Graia mkIV variant shoots faster

[viral solstice]

u will not be let down

graia mk 4 brauto is indeed the shittest brauto

[wet jacinth]

Also its Columnus MkII

[viral solstice]

but boring

[hot zephyr]

I have a 365 Columbus with +20 to mutants, 8% weakspot damage, and 12% salvo damage with 77%+ roll in every stat except mobility.

It absolutely dumpsters mutants. Like literally deletes them from the game code. It's unreal.

[viral solstice]

the thing ot do with the columnus

is multiply its bullet damage by rof

[wet jacinth]

I prefer Agripinaa MkVIII

[viral solstice]

then compare to the agri inf auto

and u will discover something

very funny

[hot zephyr]

Yeah my mainstay is actually a mk1 Agrippa

[viral solstice]

bonus funny: look at its model. then look at its mobility stat

then compare it to the agri brauto mobility stat

and the model

one of those 2 makes u run faster

[hot zephyr]

Yeah. I've seen that lol.

[viscid slate]

y'all be runnin guns on psyker?

[viral solstice]

they really did something with those guns

[viscid slate]

admittedly, I just hit 30

am I missing out?

[stone palm]

Pick one:

[viral solstice]

run what you like i just run meme shit rn because why not

[manic needle]

Meh

[lapis bay]

<——- if I had to make a choice

[manic needle]

Left

[tender terrace]

worth a go? or nah

[manic needle]

Looks good

[tender terrace]

crit should be on the surge right

or good for purge too

[lapis bay]

Gunpsykers are legit fun, do what makes you happy and doesn’t wipe your team

[hot zephyr]

If you just hit 30, you've just begun to peak my friend. Gun psyker is fun. Don't rule it out until you try it

[fast swan]

did y'all see the new psyker datamine?

basically it says if you use a gun or non force melee your parents hate you

pretty weird but its true

[viral solstice]

what if they add a force gun

a... fun

[fast swan]

only grey knights get those imo

[hot zephyr]

Gunpsyker is Funpsyker

[stone palm]

whats the new weapons for psyker and vet?

[fluid knot]

Hopefully nothing for Vet, they already have it too good

[red wind]

did they patch the little lunge slide with the duelling sabre? or am i just rusty

[fast swan]

i just want vet power sword and ammo capacity nerfed to the ground so they might have to occasionally engage in the game's mechanics

[manic needle]

Only if your parents are the type who made you nothing but peanut butter sandwiches for lunch when you were in grade school

[ebon jolt]

I just want a feat or passive for warp bullets and use any gun but have it cost peril instead of ammo.

[fast swan]

kinetic flayer kinda

[near wyvern]

They did

[red wind]

unfortunate

[stone palm]

if I see another plasma retard im gonna kms

[tender terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/pod-racing-pod-race-anakin-star-wars-gif-14869284

[fluid knot]

Plasma gun have any splash or is just direct/passthrough?

[tender terrace]

@viral solstice you're a genius, is there a fix for subtitle settings resetting every game

[stone palm]

did anyone buy this helmet?

if so get fatsharked m8

[tender terrace]

whys that

[stone palm]

no dank silver/gold skull helmet that came with the next set of cosmetics

[mighty vault]

Not having to use the same dumbass guns as everyone else is what makes psyker fun, imo

[stone palm]

don't talk shit about my Mk XII

[mighty vault]

Most boring meta in history

[tender terrace]

i want some gold drip for my head to match the new green shirt but i want a rebreather

[solar fossil]

the skulls look goofy

[tender terrace]

agreed, lasgun gamers are hard cope, shit shoots so slow

[mighty vault]

I never play Vet anymore because it's so god-damn dull and if there isn't another vet to do it then you have to play MG XII and spend 15 minutes clearing every giant gunner swarm in volley fire

[tender terrace]

brauto and embrace your inner rambo

[stone palm]

https://tenor.com/view/40k-tts-emperor-warhammer-disgraceful-gif-16263370

[tender terrace]

then the swarms melt

[mighty vault]

Thing kicks like a fucking mule and eats ammo, though.

[tender terrace]

nah

[mighty vault]

Also >shooting swarms

[tender terrace]

you just need some practice with it

[mighty vault]

begone, heretic

[stone palm]

yeah I agree its boring

[tender terrace]

shooting gunner/shooter packs?? huh

you use ammo on things that shoot at you, ez

[mighty vault]

I guess I did say swarm first.

[red wind]

no but you’re supposed to use the staff!!!!! peril!!!!!

[mighty vault]

When people say that I assume they mean horde, my fault

[tender terrace]

i call them packs but yeah we same page

people who shoot at things that dont shoot back and arent elites+ are meme tier

[mighty vault]

Sitting in volley fire with your 75% damage reduction and popping 30 gunner heads is just so fuckin boring

If there's another vet you can at least play plasma or bolter or something, but god damn, main veteran role sucks

[tender terrace]

i mean id be lying if i didnt admit i sought variety after playing it for like 100 hours but, it was still a blast

[lapis bay]

Which is why Gunpsyker is the perfect marriage of challenge and utility

[mighty vault]

I can see why half of their brains have become mush by the time they join my team and they're about to section 8

[long wharf]

you're fired.

[lapis bay]

Like a plasma shell

[long wharf]

into a bag of marshmallows

[mighty vault]

The perfect marriage of vote and kick

[lapis bay]

Don’t talk about my Ogryn like that

[long wharf]

what I'm saying is you're a hot mess

[mighty vault]

now kiss

[long wharf]

never on the first date

[tender terrace]

best dps on monstrocities?

[long wharf]

flamer

[lapis bay]

Guns

[mighty vault]

knifepsyker

[long wharf]

someone's going to believe you and then they'll come back whinging about how psyker sucks because it can't even kill a monstrocity with a knife

[lapis bay]

Tell me a charge knife wouldn’t be amazing

First of all bleed knives melt monstrosities better than any other melee

[mighty vault]

Really though I usually brainburst until they look at someone else then start flinging FS specials.

[long wharf]

a force knife with mechanics that synergize with psyker feats? sure, we can talk then.

[mighty vault]

Purgatus is honestly pretty bad dps but it's real consistent and easy.

[lapis bay]

Facts

[tender terrace]

so monstrosity just a shitshow for pskyer?

[mighty vault]

idk if flamer is better for some reason, but I'd believe you if you said it was.

I mean if you're soloing one, I guess, yeah

[lapis bay]

Purgatus is the veteran of staves: reliable, solid, but simple

[long wharf]

flamer can absolutely melt monstrosities

[mighty vault]

It stacks higher, right?

[lapis bay]

Yes

[mighty vault]

Wait, I think I also read somewhere that they calculated damage differently, and soulblaze was multiplicative or something

[vast current]

purgatus just feels like a weak flamer. Voidstrike seems better for damnation for me, especially if you have a zealot with a flamer

[lapis bay]

Not sure about that tbh but I’ve definitely noticed flamer kills things faster with similar stats

[mighty vault]

It doesn't need to feel strong to do what it needs to do, which is melt dense horde

[hot zephyr]

If I wanna just no brain complete runs, I go straight for my purgatus. It's not that it's a bad weapon or anything. It's just a really boring gameplay loop.
"Oh look a horde... Let's burn it."
"Oh look an elite pack... Let's burn it"
"Oh look a monstrosity... Let's burn it"

[lapis bay]

Can’t argue that, but it’s all the other things around it that prove helpful as well— like zealots when not facing hordes are at ranged mercy. Psykers curtail that with our kit

[mighty vault]

Flamer is also good at that and good for just spraying harder targets in a pinch, but that's not generally something you'd do with purgatus, because you have brainburst and shit like FS

Yeah if I'm flaming a monstrosity I'm being lazy, that's not really the best thing for me to be doing there

Same with elites, the flames are good for stagger, but then you should start picking them apart one by one

Unless you're just keeping them staggered for your team to deal with, which is a psyker thing, I guess

Just shy of stunbot territory, though

[lapis bay]

Hot take (badumtss) but flamer feels like it should be weaker than psyfire, they just had to make it slower and stronger to give zealots some better horde clears

[viral solstice]

i wish the left click wasnt just a lil fart

imagine if u threw an arcing burny explosion or somethin

[mighty vault]

It's so fucking slow, yeah.

They could make it faster but they'd have to make a lot weaker.

And then that'd hurt a lot of butts since it's one of their exclusive weapons

[lapis bay]

I’m almost certain they’re going to have cross exclusive weapons with DLC classes “with a twist”— like vets getting a hellflamer

[hot zephyr]

The puffs are honestly great for CC. Give em a lil puff puff, then unleash the full bong hit

[mighty vault]

The purgatus LMB is...very, very good. I won't hear you asperse it

[viral solstice]

i mean its GOOD

[wintry steeple]

Anyone have an ogryn that wants to help me get the heresy pennance for psycher?

[viral solstice]

but i want it to be COOL

i don wan a lil puff

[mighty vault]

Fair enough.

[lapis bay]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-smoke-gif-14925893

My man

[mighty vault]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum

[vast current]

voidstrike is much better. It will CC and do instant damage instead of staggering, then having to wait 3-4 seconds for the dot to kill it

[mighty vault]

Meh, voidstrike just feels like I'm back to veteran

Hate it

[lapis bay]

Voidstrike feels boring but I like the lateral utility of it

[mighty vault]

Like sure, it's good-ish, but not fun

[viral solstice]

voidstrike doesnt flashbang all the veterans on ur team tho so its not as good

[mighty vault]

How is that not good

[vast current]

it's the best psyker staff for damage

[mighty vault]

I hate veterans

[viral solstice]

exactly

just fire purgatus into the veterans eyes

[mighty vault]

Oh, I thought you were saying purgatus wasn't as good because of that

[viral solstice]

nono im a firm believer in veteran suffering

as a moral principle

[mighty vault]

🤝

[vast current]

trauma uses WAY too much peril and just feels like a vertical voidstrike staff

[mighty vault]

Trauma is bad.

[hot zephyr]

You should see what I call a 6 stack ascendant blaze.....

[mighty vault]

Add soublaze to make it like conflagrate at the VERY LEAST

[hazy locust]

i was told that +3 wound gun psykers are the best in class... confirm/deny?

[stray pond]

I've finally found a Deflector force sword and its base stats are shit

[hot zephyr]

F

[mighty vault]

It's like an on-demand ogryn charge through enemies that did not need to be charged (so every ogryn charge), just making clean up a pain

[vast current]

if they reduced the peril cost it could be decent.. it's damage is good and stagger

[mighty vault]

Baby shit, go for +9

[vast current]

someone is trolling you

[mighty vault]

Resist the siren call of deflector and get better at avoiding bullets

[hazy locust]

https://tenor.com/view/heres-to-that-johnny-johnny-rose-roland-roland-schitt-gif-20791484

[magic burrow]

obviously that guy who claimed 3 wound gunpsykers were best in slot has not yet heard of the mythical +9 stamina trauma psyker

[vast current]

deflector is meh

[mighty vault]

ssshh, you'll summon him

[lapis bay]

I heard someone wanted my build

[vast current]

mobility and autoquell of non-force weapons trump it

[stone palm]

go for it

[tender terrace]

why is every game's z axis just wonky as fuck, dodged a trapper by sliding backwards down the stairs, nope fuck you

[mighty vault]

Because fluid flows uphill in this game, deal w/ it

[lapis bay]

Easy, 3 wounds, laspistol. Lemme post it after this round.

[mighty vault]

I used laspistol once, I genuinely cannot understand why it's in the game

[supple skiff]

Either side or you never tried - Darktide probably

[vast current]

sounds like a malice build

[hazy locust]

it sounds malicious alright

[near wyvern]

Because hit boxes are mostly vertical?

[hazy locust]

because sometimes you just want to be extra masochistic.

[fast swan]

mind in motion should let you sprint while quelling and give you a speed boost after ulting

[mighty vault]

It should do something staves don't already let you do, that's for sure

[fierce sinew]

mind in motion should stay bad so we can peril block without feeling like we're giving up anything

[mighty vault]

You're blocking way too much if you need to convert it to peril, imo

[fierce sinew]

pretend choices, the true game design

[mighty vault]

I might block 3-5 attacks in a mission

[hazy locust]

*life

[near wyvern]

I wanna see this at Damnation

Laspistol seems cool because it has the force push but the push force is underwhelming, the accuracy over range is underwhelming and the damage is underwhelming so the ammo economy is underwhelming

[hazy locust]

i feel like the build is gonna be comicly underwelming

[lapis bay]

That’s cause you need to know how to use it properly

[mighty vault]

It has a million bullets but I don't want to click 300 times in a row, that's exactly why I hate playing Veteran

[near wyvern]

The current mind in motion should be built into the class

Mind in motion should be "allows the Psyker to move normally while charging a warp based attack and while aiming down the sights"

[hazy locust]

carpel tunnel surgery come in a buy one get one free?

[fierce sinew]

it's not for doing fair things, it's for doing nonsense like infinite tanking daemonhosts, infinite push attacks with the meme axe, etc, generating toughness with quietude etc

[hot zephyr]

Ah but you see. Laspistol psyker let's you click on the same enemy 300 times in a row. It's much less draining than aiming at all those other targets

[fierce sinew]

peril block means your entire stamina bar is for fun things now

[mighty vault]

pistol gunker is the new meme

[vestal flower]

this is my current build and it slaps

[hazy locust]

i dont mind usin it to kill trash

ees ok

it feels choppy enough

is not super choppa but is ok

[fierce sinew]

I really like this rework

that's actually realistic too

[mighty vault]

Sorry, fatshark isn't a democracy

not crowdsourcing good ideas

[fierce sinew]

oh definitely

[mighty vault]

good ideas have to come from someone that's coming back from vacation on March 3rd.

[fierce sinew]

my liking it means nothing

[near wyvern]

Blizzard goes the other way and says your ideas are theirs to sell

[fierce sinew]

still like it

[hazy locust]

great idea, glad I had it.

[tender terrace]

is there something to watch out for with bursters and hitting ult? or does it just flat out ignore it sometimes

[near wyvern]

Ult or AB ult?

[hazy locust]

yeah ive had a burster completely ignore ult and just shit itself on top of me

[tender terrace]

f key

force push

[hazy locust]

maybe lag tho idk

[rigid blade]

How are Force Swords?

[near wyvern]

Bursters in general just sometimes ignore stagger all together

[hazy locust]

also had several mobs slip out of a half cast BB

[fierce sinew]

there's definitely some stagger resistance in some of it's movements/dive that doesn't seem to behave consistently

[vast current]

meh.. the autoquell and mobility of non-force weapons are better

[fierce sinew]

I try to use the arming sound as a queue and it works like 70% of the time (for shout)

[rigid blade]

I see, so it’s something to really only have for Gun Psyker?

[fierce sinew]

but for the 30% I have no idea what I did wrong to get blown up on

[hazy locust]

if you find you're only dying to those pre-loaded snipers, force sword may be for you

[tender terrace]

so basically it just fucks you sometimes cause its darktide

[near wyvern]

I have noticed that if you truly want to stagger a burster, you don't want to deal any damage at all to it before it's about to jump and you bump it

Otherwise it can bug out and be immune to stagger for some reason

So either kill it from afar if you know you can, or don't touch that fucker until it's up your face

[tender terrace]

yeah i just pushed in advance while it was running in hopes to charge a ball on it

nope

[vast current]

I don't think it has anything to do with gun psyker

[ebon jolt]

Good. Deflector blessing is QoL. One of if not the best push in the game. High single target damage with the special. Pairs well with guns or staves that deal with hordes well.

[rigid blade]

Guns have the fast Peril CD

[rigid blade]

I see

[vast current]

I haven't seen a good gun psyker build in damnation

[hot zephyr]

You definitely don't use mind in motion on a gun psyker. You either want to deflection or shield depending on your melee weapon choice

[rigid blade]

Give me time.

[near wyvern]

So does regular melee weapons

[mighty vault]

You're better off melee pushing than trying to ult bursters

It simply doesn't work the same reliably.

[orchid venture]

im a staunch believer that you can use any weapons you want and still be successful in damnation missions, so use all the guns you want. I just REALLY like the sound a Voidstrike M2 makes as it travels head height through an entire hoard of poxwalkers

[near wyvern]

Even then the melee is unreliable as well because they can bug out or your legally blind veteran can finally now see it when it's up on your face

[lapis bay]

If you gotta rely on a weapon to be good you need to git better

[hot zephyr]

3/1/2/1/3/3 with deflector FS and Mk5 Columbus with +25% dmg to maniacs. Run whatever curios you want.

[mighty vault]

Really, yes, you can use whatever you want. That doesn't make it smart or effective with your feats as a psyker, and if you're trash, you should probably try to use things that take advantage of the tools you're given

[hazy locust]

bare knuckle box that pox

[lapis bay]

They ain’t ready for the Force Finger

[hazy locust]

gives fingerbang a new meaning

[mighty vault]

pls sirs

this is a wendy's

[orchid venture]

it's kinda interesting though, if you take the trait that lets Any attack do a brainburst, and you take an autopistol, you can pretty much guarantee you get one every 15 seconds

[hazy locust]

https://tenor.com/view/wendys-laughing-giggle-gif-13649338

[vast current]

sounds bad, and ammo hungry

[mighty vault]

Or if you take any other weapon, sir.

[orchid venture]

wendy is pulsating

[mighty vault]

Like, idk, purgatus, or surge staff

Something that isn't a fucking autopistol

[hazy locust]

its the force finger

[orchid venture]

i very much just said i prefer staves, sir.

[hot zephyr]

It's only ammo hungry if you're bad at ammo management. BB doesn't cost bullets.

[mighty vault]

Most of the time if it's on cooldown I get that BB on the very first melee attack I make. If it weren't for confirmation bias I'd be insisting there were actually a different system at play for determining when it procs, but I'm not like those people here.

A lot more than 1/10 times, anyway.

[vast current]

If you are killing elites with BB then why bring the gun? I mean, I'm sure it works, but it doesn't seem efficient. Why not play vet at that point? and you sacrifice the utlity of the staffs

[mighty vault]

god, please don't get them started again

he's got a whole powerpoint for this

[fringe garden]

People wanna be different

it's a thing

just let hem

[fierce sinew]

it's actually impressive to me how high percentage the gunpsyker stuff is as bait

literally every day

[mighty vault]

100% of my gunpsyker stuff is bait, put that in your little ledger, mister

[vast current]

There's a reason you don't see it in almost any damnation runs lol

[hot zephyr]

You rotate between BB and Gun as a multi weapon rotation. BB for crushers, bulwarks and maulers, gun for bursters, bombers, mutants, flamers and dogs. Sword for everything else.

[magic burrow]

beats listening to a guy yelling at Psykers for being dead weight by surgeing armored Ogryns instead of brain bursting them, because they dont need to be CCd because the shield Ogryn is tanking them

[mighty vault]

idk why you wouldn't wanna pop half of those things the second they round a corner with BB, but that's just me

[fierce sinew]

you can definitely see why these mfs want to use guns, they just don't miss

proc that wall of text every time

[magic burrow]

guess they never miss, huh

I do hope there's a gunpsyker subclass eventually.

Akimbo force pistols

They wouldn’t bring it for the same reason they wouldn’t have power armor or astartes. Just too OP

You may not like it, but this is what the ideal psyker load out looks like

Warpfire pistols when

Soulblaze you say. Good synergy with the feats

[mighty vault]

Yeah, no shit

[mighty pike]

I'd like a soulblaze flamethrower personally

[mighty vault]

er

it's called the purgatus staff, sir

[mighty pike]

Some kind of ranged weapon that uses soulblaze

[mighty vault]

Sienna didn't have a drakegun because she already had a staff that did that

[mighty pike]

Idk where I got the idea from I think it would be useful

[fast swan]

lol that one leaked psyker helm is just the astropath outfit from the trailer with the center eye removed

still dope tho

[hot zephyr]

Psyker is all about headshots. Our one ability is literally a 100% guaranteed headshot. Psyker should carry a gun and staffs are trap bait for baddies. 😛

That’s what I’ve been telling people but some have a hard time letting go of the crutch staff. Don’t get me wrong not against staves it’s just an entry point for true skill

[lapis bay]

The ogryns face I cannot

[fast swan]

dont we get a comsetic shop refresh tomorrow?

[hazy locust]

was the material sourced from a discarded circus tent sir?

[lapis bay]

Don’t say that, that’s the endgame RNG right there

[mighty pike]

No material wasted.

[fast swan]

aint happening but one can dream

[lapis bay]

The emperor recycles

[hazy locust]

thank god there arent tampons in this universe, we'd all be screwed

[lapis bay]

Maybe for the second psyker subclass

[mighty pike]

Imperium of mankind is a diva cup society

[tender terrace]

impatiently waiting for this one so i can pair the sick lepoard print pants with it

[lapis bay]

Rambo meets Hambo

[tender terrace]

prob hit up a few clubs in the drip too

[manic needle]

Reject Krieg, embrace Vostroyan Fuzzy Hats.

[tender terrace]

hit on some fellow dudes

[mighty vault]

easy buddy

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[tender terrace]

these two pskyers are gonna be lit

[mighty vault]

lit on fire

and tossed in the dumpster

First one already looks unsafely flammable

Fucking party streamers on your pants

[lapis bay]

Whoa where is that

[mighty pike]

Incredibly excited for my money to stay in my wallet for this one!

[lapis bay]

LMFAO

[tender terrace]

incredibly excited that i didnt ask!

[mighty vault]

I did

[mighty pike]

Steady on lmao

This isn't a private conversation

Or did you make these yourself?

[hazy locust]

I made my best attempt at a female ogryn, i named her Molly Tov, as nightmare fuel for the imperium. shes got the hot pants.

[craggy willow]

||Not even conversations with yourself are private around a Sibling.||

[lapis bay]

I need the drip as a water coolant device to my gunpsyker

[mighty pike]

Psyker with a water cooled Lewis gun when. Let me suppress the enemy with gunfire and also magic fire

[hazy locust]

MOLLY TOVVVV

[magic burrow]

"I spy with my third eye" is a popular game amongst Psykers while they wait for the Veteran to win the game

hard for vets to win the game when they're on the floor half the time

Why is Gaben fighting Yoda

[tender terrace]

with scuffed goro in the back watching

[hazy locust]

because its easier than finishing halflife 3

[tender terrace]

half life 3 gonna come out before the last GOT book at least tho

[hazy locust]

okay but when will star citizen be out of beta

[mighty pike]

It won't

[tender terrace]

once the dyson sphere is built

[lapis bay]

When the emperor leaves his chair gottem

[hazy locust]

[mighty pike]

The emperor of mankind will resurrect before that

[lapis bay]

Praise be Star Child

[hazy locust]

R-Robin Williams is coming back??

[mighty pike]

My incomparable mind would finish developing star citizen in a week

[lapis bay]

But could your mind comprehend how much better a Gunpsyker is to a vet

[mighty pike]

I actually only play revolver psyker

Anything else is against the Lex

If you disagree you're going on the black ships

[hazy locust]

i thought the new meta was going 3 wounds and blowing up on hordes with the wet fart of shame?

[lapis bay]

The kamikaze build is the most OP, and one the Inquisitors keep close to their chest

[mighty pike]

Personally I don't run any extra wounds because I don't value anyone else's time

[hazy locust]

is it close because the blast radius is shameful?

[silver robin]

Wanting to actually cry at trying to Out with a Bang's Penance

it's singlehandedly the most stressful Penance ever

[mighty pike]

Here's what the imperium doesn't want you to know: the perils of the warp are free. You can just explode them. I have the Going Out with a Bang at home

[mighty pike]

Is also the least achieved achievement on steam

[silver robin]

Been trying for nearly 2 and half hours to get it with no luck cause it's either I blow up and kill 2 or someone kills one of the elites by mistake

[mighty pike]

I wonder if the Dev team actually try these penances when they make them

Or if they just think of something difficult and plug it in

[silver robin]

At this point I'm tempted to ask if anyone would mind just helping me get it cause it's driving me nuts

LOL

[lapis bay]

Where’s our QA team at

[silver robin]

I just wanna get 100% achievements on the game and this one penance is pretty much halted me from doing so

[chilly cobalt]

https://streamable.com/c804br
This happen to anyone else

[mighty pike]

You're much better off finding a team for it

[hazy locust]

going out with a bang at home:

[lapis bay]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum is your best bet for any achievement hunts

[manic needle]

Figuring out how to perfectly rebalance every staff Blessing so that they don't actually do anything

[silver robin]

Appreciate the direction cause yeah it's painful

[hazy locust]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-omg-scream-gif-8844007

[lapis bay]

They know the code and are secretly trying to tell everyone that Gunpsyker is king

[hazy locust]

yes, because you arent actually targeting anything

[silver robin]

tfw it requires you to join VC's and I have anxiety around people I don't know

[manic needle]

Next patch: Transfer Peril now only applies to Surge and Trauma staffs

[silver robin]

[chilly cobalt]

what that then

[lapis bay]

A perfectly good headshot with a decent rifle

[mighty pike]

https://tenor.com/view/eduardo-sterblitch-eduardo-sterblitch-laugh-smile-gif-21515066

[hazy locust]

the dog you targeted after you already were scanning and peril building up to like 90

[mighty pike]

If only

[silver robin]

What about the fact Pox Hounds can literally phase through everyone

and everything

[fast swan]

https://tenor.com/view/romanoffslvr-romanofflvr-gif-25692536

[silver robin]

Not to mention apparently equip jetpacks whenever they want at random and go flying in the air

[chilly cobalt]

i literally clicked right when it was available idk how this is being flipped on me not being able to target anything

[hazy locust]

im watching the video my guy you had not targeted that dog until you were already high in peril

[mighty pike]

Poxhounds actually can't. It's your brain that tells you that they can. Something that I can actually- grapples for your head -fix right now

[chilly cobalt]

which should still bb? im confused what part of high peril doesnt let you do a bb

97 is the limit btw

[clear heath]

Yeah even if it would've killed him, it should still BB and then blow him up

it's not supposed to just cancel the bb

[hazy locust]

you have to target the mob you want to bb for the bb to kill them

[chilly cobalt]

you are playing a different game @hazy locust

its the right click

[clear heath]

It's happened to me before too btw. Right click BB is just buggy

[red wind]

psyker is just buggy in general

[mighty pike]

I have had some situations with right click that felt off too but I assumed I was trying to use it incorrectly

[lapis bay]

That explains everything

[clear heath]

the game is just buggy in general

[chilly cobalt]

the game is just..

[hazy locust]

right click bb sucks in general, i said what i said

[mighty pike]

Say what you want about darktide Vs vermintide but you can't decapitate a dog with a Chainsword in Vermintide

[mighty vault]

Not with that attitude

[red wind]

so true

[mighty pike]

I'm here to kill dogs and play gunpsyker. And I'm all out of bullets because I took a revolver

[scarlet geyser]

God I love monstrosity penance

[hazy locust]

your name reminds me of the noise guinnea pigs make when you got a yogurt drop.

[chilly cobalt]

i feel like right click is the only way psyker can outcompete a vet for reaction time kill and the fact its so buggy pains me so

[lapis bay]

Right click on a gun works 10/10 times

[chilly cobalt]

500%

[mighty pike]

weet weeeeet

[red wind]

hate it here

lookit that snoot.

[chilly cobalt]

yea ive just gave up on staff psyker unless im running a premade that can capitalize on surge cc, its mk 12 pskyer from now on, im just budget vet with occasional random bb

[manic needle]

Ahh yes, the only 2 Psyker options: Surge and Gun

[mighty pike]

Love the modern internet in that I know exactly what this is and what it means despite having only a tiny slice

[chilly cobalt]

the ones i personally play, other options like purge im not a fan of but it has its uses

[lapis bay]

The true endgame, where a psyker can pick up bullets and just force flick them at enemies

Heard it here first

[hazy locust]

https://tenor.com/view/your-a-wizard-youtube-harry-hargrid-jotty-gif-20213313

[fast swan]

honestly i want 2 different types of laser staff
1 that works like symmetra from overwatch, it does not pierce but the longer it is in contact with an enemy, the beam gets wider and does more damage - good for tracking the heads of elites to do hella damage, low peril cost
2 one that pierces enemies and has no stagger but does high consistent damage but has extreme peril cost

[blazing oak]

I don’t :l

[chilly cobalt]

just give us glintstone pebble from elden ring

warp pebble

[mighty pike]

I want a warp launcher that's like an RPG but instead it's my incomparable mind as an explosive device

[blazing oak]

So the Ogryn?

[lapis bay]

Ew no, Comet Azure or bust

[fast swan]

symmetra beam and comet azure

[hazy locust]

hear me out.. warp heals.

darkest dungeon occultist, can heal a random amount and give random status effects

but also can hurt

[chilly cobalt]

psyker with comet azure: vet you see that crusher over there?

vet: Where?

psyker: you're welcome

[blazing oak]

“But the point is not to get hit you will be useless in good lobbies scrub” - Somebody somewhere

[mighty pike]

Only shit I'm interested in is the crazy bitch spells from elden ring. Let me grab a trapper and suck it's brains out

[red wind]

the psyker BB is a glorified marker for the 3 vets in my pub match to shoot it seems like

[mighty pike]

It's this, heavily cropped

[blazing oak]

Ah

no i assure you i’m on 1 health in the name of the emperor

https://tenor.com/view/kill-me-drink-bleach-gif-22890796

[lapis bay]

I still think we should have a skill called "warpsight" where we can see things that disturb the warp (DH) no matter where on the map, but also lets us only see the glow for BB

[fast swan]

btw they will never add a healing class mechanic, too op

Better option

Puppet Master - The telepath possesses his victim's mind, controlling their movements, their aim and their trigger fingers as if they were marionettes.

[mighty pike]

Did you mean: [whatever the veteran ability is called]

[chilly cobalt]

yea even in vermintide the most was just temp help regen, well maybe grail knight and keri passive regened health but it was super slow and rewarded good gameplay

[mighty pike]

Gunpsyker by proxy. Okay

Darktide Tutorial "Sprint through this laserfire to get to cover!"
Darktide actual game "You take increased damage while sprinting!"

[lapis bay]

Full circle to the best class in game, Gunpsyker

[mighty vault]

Slide into cover to evade bullets!

Oops, sorry, being shot at removes the ability to slide!

[hazy locust]

oh they cant do that i'd off my whole fkn team i have no self control and a sense of humor so dark the drow envy it

[mighty vault]

...or sprint!

[chilly cobalt]

it was gunpsyker all along?

always was

[mighty pike]

https://tenor.com/view/explain-plan-theory-crazy-insane-gif-22079506

[mighty vault]

...Or move!

Btw standing in fire ALSO removes your ability to move, or jump, or slide!

[blazing oak]

To be honest, if pvp was enabled, psyker would actually be the most hated class due to the large amount of tools they have to screw their teammates over

[mighty vault]

Quick, move, jump, or slide out of the fire, you fool!

[ornate hamlet]

My item loadout is already minmaxed, my 6+ daily discord hours outclasses Soy type gear threefold

[hazy locust]

wait are we talking about pvp or penances?

[blazing oak]

PvP.

[magic burrow]

the tutorial is just complete BS at this point and actively sabotages new players

Wasn't the god emperor himself a gun psyker. Yeah I thought so

I played with some people the other day that were so clearly just prioritizing my bb targets I eventually just stopped and followed them around until there was something for me to do without competing for it

[blazing oak]

When pvp is in the surge staff now also targets teammates

[mighty pike]

And why? 9mm for self-defence

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the dueling sword, either

[blazing oak]

Game needs a player to player auction house using MelkBux

[hazy locust]

kinetic flayer OP

[mighty vault]

I think I first used one in malice and thought it was a woodchipper but it feels way shittier in every difficulty above that

[austere estuary]

one of each mark as well

[ornate hamlet]

I'll never win that FS organized Physker tourney, I'll never get that chemical castration grand prize now :<

[chilly cobalt]

it was pretty good when they had super sliding for mobility puposes

[austere estuary]

did they nerf the special poke + slide?

[chilly cobalt]

100%

[hazy locust]

there will always be a m80 in a beer can between your thighs ole chap.
