nope
fair enough
yea
I class any mismatch between tooltip and function as broken
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the rest is diagnosing what part is broken, and it looks like we know
yup its broke thats why it needs fixing
also, it's 3, not 4
alrighty then, what's broken here?
its the 7.5k that doesnt do anything right
whichever thing doesn't do what it says it does
i think its like what 0 2.5k 5k 7.5k
change that thing to gunners and its sweet
so you guys all agree, 70 + 65 = 140
nobody agreed to anything
yes, and only the first three work
If anyone here was just in the all-psyker damnation match with me, gg, that was awesome
was everyone using a different staff?
3 purgs and one void
was everyone running KO + AB?
Fucking wrecked everything, that was easier than doing it with other classes lol
What’s KO and AB again
Kinetic Overload and Ascendant Blaze
Brain fart
you have 3 psykers running purge, that's at least three ABs
Oh yeah the me and the other purgs were
if you're all running KO as well, then that's a pretty good test to see if KO becomes usefull
Prob would’ve been a bit trickier if the void wasn’t there tho, they helped snipe far away gunners and stuff
But it was also BB city lol
Oh I just looked I myself am running kinetic flauet rather than overload
Flamer
Flayer
God damn can’t type
Maybe I should use KO
What perks would you run on a Purge staff? I got crit chance, but what would be the secondary one?
this is so epic
Meh who needs damage anyways
Terrifying barrage the suppression means anything near you gets well… suppressed
Good for horde management I heard and also helpful ish against shooters
thats not a perk tho
bonus to unarmored would be useful
whens rebless
nobody knows
and if FartShart is smart (which they've yet to prove), they won't say anything until it's actually done, tested, and ready to go live
how the fuck do they need to test it
turn it on
change from 0 to 1 in cfg
theyre drip feeding
more like bleeding the players
I'm going to pretend you understand software development and said something smart, instead of what you just said.
just pretend its smart
whats the word they used
it would be "immeasurably complex"
to put in rebless
and therein lies the problem
everybody and their grandmother knows how it should work
it's not a complicated thing to code
and yet, FartShart has saddled themselves with the worst way to code a large project
so it's not only cumbersome because of their codebase, but they clearly don't have competent programmers anyways
theyve like, made a game previously
yeah maybe a bunch of dudes left
they have 180 dudes though
and the lead designer was proud to say they started over from scratch for Darktide
in that fluff article that was released recently
they intentionally didn't implement things they had done before
creates the illusion that theyre providing updates
not really
as they unlock what should be day1 features.. an old story I guess
providing updates is providing updates
if they had just released into Early Access, players could have forgiven the state of the game on release
I just have a hunch they have a rebless build that totally works. but they want you to keep farming
"crafting" and hoping for the right blessing to pop up on the shop
I think VT2 had it figured out in the end but that took years
but too bad they started from scratch, I didnt even know that
its kinda ridiculous you cant recycle weapons into scrap
it would be immensly complex to do that
gotta wonder hard
🤔
hey, damage isn't important on a purge staff, right?
cause I just got one that has a 44% in damage, but p much 80% in everything else
the burn stat is the actual damage stat
you care about burn and cloud
and quell speed
yeah burn is 78%, cloud is 80%, and quell is 77%
warp resist is 79% too
and comes with Focused Channeling
warp nexus is the main blessing you want
biggest L is that it has Crit Damage on it, but maybe the other bonus will be good
(just like crit chance is the main perk you want)
I'll upgrade it when I can, and see if it continues to be a god roll lol
im getting close to 100 missions done, but I still dont have Malleus Monstronum done
I have a hard time believing this now because of how much backlash there has been
If you were saying this on like, week 1 of release when the reviews were still positive, i might be more inclined to believe you, but right now i think they would take the opportunity to salvage their reputation if they could
Yucky modifiers
rip first target
rip 300 modifier rating
I actually have a pretty nice 313 since it actually only dumped the shittier stats
I'd prefer if warp res and mobility were swapped, but it's still a great stat distribution anyways
I use the force sword special to generate peril anyways so warp res being low would just be a benefit half the time
damn that's a nice staff
Force Swords w/ Deflector seem ridiculously rare, so I'm happy to have just gotten this. I'm seriously impressed with the power of block + push + attack cycling when I get swarmed.
When do you unlock force swords to begin with? I'm rank 17 and haven't seen a single one?
@prisma lichen
Second Trust Level.
They're super rare in the store.
I upgraded this one from grey.
For Psyker, if there's no Deflector blessing, I"m not sure if it's worth it either.
gotcha, ok ty
theres like 40 different auto guns and lasguns, and only one force sword
it's almost like this shop they have rn is placehorlder or such
unlucky on the blessing w/ upgrade but i had to try with the base stats being so high O_O
I really hope so. what makes you say that?
it's just... massively barebones
so I'd guess they either couldn't get something a tad more robust out in time for release, or are working on something more robust because of player feedback
like, even the fact that when you're leveling a class, and you unlock a new cool weapon, it's possible to go days, even weeks without seeing it
I cant even really think of a satisfying way for them to rework the current system without overhauling it
VT system... blueprints and crafting
as much as I hope the shop is a placeholder, I think the reality is that everything outside missions is designed to waste time as much as possible to get people to spend money in the cash shop. It's very mobile-esque
Well this is not correct. Slaughterer is decent and Bloodthirsty seems like a nice niche but that one is super rare, still searching for one
You have unlimited dodges anyways, which helps to avoid ranged damage while dealing damage
@magic burrow I dont think the shop is malicious in design, its just extremely poorly designed for actual game play. Its the same with rerolling perks. I've spent over 30mins rerolling for 1 specific perk. They designed a reroll system, said it works, shipped it, but never tested it.
I mean, if they truly wanted people to spend as much money as possible, they'd go the warframe route, and have hadron be able to build you weapons, but it takes real life hours, but you can pay a small stipend to speed it up, a small stipend to unlock build slots, a small stipend to improve your rolls, a small stipend to upgrade it to blue out of the box, and so forth
I imagine down the road they are going to add a shop reroll function for cost of in-game currency.
that function was datamined actually
The fact they designed a slot machine with 1 pull every 1/24hrs is incredibly near sighted.
Shop reroll, fun, more rng
I'd rather reroll a shop and be disappointed immediately, versus wasting hours and still being disappointed.
like, we very much know that fatshark can do better than that, because they very much DID better than that. s' why i think it's placeholder
yeh, some serious mismanagement or design overhauls went into motion and we have a hodgepodge of semi working/semi in-design systems.
alot of people are quick to blame Tencent for all that, and maybe thats the case, but Tencent doesn't really operate like that, they dont micromanage the money out of every property they own.
they're more of a like... finger in every pie kind of investor. just put money into things they think they're gonna get money out of
I have no knowledge or who to blame nor do I want a villian. Just as a consumer, this product is fun, but incredibly undercooked.
yeah, im only talkin about them because Tencent is an investor in Digital Extremes too, who made Warframe. but really the only amount of anything they had DE do was bring Warframe over to asia, cause they thought it'd make alot of money over there
isnt there an asian client for Darktide too?
Yea... I dont think the RNG shop somehow pushes people to buy aquiles. They're literally not connected in any way.
and thank god it doesn't
If I could buy in-game currency with aquiles and use that to reroll the shop or something, then I would totally agree.
Crafting Mats.
spend 1000 aquillas to get 10000 plasteel!!! +2000 FREE!!!
I really want a big boost in crafting mats from grim/scrip missions.
Or extra mats after a boss dies, similar to dice in V2.
And more transcendant drops. If I get all the grimoires, kill the daemonhost, etc I expect a drop. It's so random, it's hard to convince groups to focus on those.
I think... I'd rather see a reduction in the price of consecration maybe
like, by half, would probably be fine
Right. There's little incentive to do the extra stuff. Totally agree.
bring back VT1 dice specifically, that'd make everyone furious
Dear bots, please pick up scriptures.
Or give me a ChatGPT plug-in so I can talk to the bots.
you can tell bots to pick up tomes n grims in VT2, no idea why it's not in DT
i guess it's not something they can just rip and port over willy nilly
It's in the greasy KFC bucket under someone's desk with all the other features they left behind.
Marked "to-do" 🙂
do they have kfc in sweden?
Oh, probably not. I think they distribute self respect to everyone.
get me some Karlstad Fried Chicken
I'll take Psyker over Bright Wizard ANY day, but I do miss Coruscation staves.
Not taking damage while quelling Peril? Chef's Kiss.
there was apparently 7 force staves in the files found from the datamining, so theres hope
Don't give them ideas!
Even if they did, I don't think it would beat Purgatus for handing out free flames.
i just liked coruscation cause it was a shotgun, but you could rip apart hoards by putting a few fire pillars right infront of where you were fighting
so I just looked up a list of cities in sweden and found one that started with K for this joke, but looking at a picture of it now, Karlstad looks like an extremely pretty city
big ass fly on my computer
in the dead of winter too
Its technically feasible to have Bright Wizards pulled through the Warp and brought to the 40K side of the universe.
Any gentlemen out there able to help me get the Malleus Monstronum penence done?
What is thé second best bénédiction for you after deflector on force sword ?
Anyone else here enjoy chainsword on Psyker?
though that brings up the question if a bright wizard could even use their magic in 40k. is the red wind even present anywhere?
You should read some of the portrait frame descs from ones leaked in beta.
You might find them interesting for said theory
There are really good portrairt frames behind:
- 500 special conditions missions
-1000 any missions
-1000 missions of specific type
I admire Fatshark's optimism adding penances like that to the game
might as well invite the person to the office if it reaches that
doubt there will be more than 5 people
on r/Darktide one player reached 500 special condition mission wit a targeted grind
And i'm sitting at ~600 any missions right now
I think i quit at like.... 300
end game of checking the store and #patch-notes aint for me
maybe once they release the game, i'll revisit it, if there will be players alive
I 'm still able to have fum for some reason. Switching character and trying builds - probably keeps me afloat
you got time dude, i got no motivation to grind same 2 maps, then do all the weeklies 2x
i saw the mist map once
dark map like 5 times
once they release the game, with working crafting, full obtainable items, then we can have fun
and all maps
I'd give this game half a year at least to go into "not early access anymore" state to become fully enjoyable.
a year i'd say
Take back the city of Tertium from hordes of bloodthirsty foes in this intense and brutal action shooter. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the new co-op focused experience from the award-winning team behind the Vermintide series. As Tertium falls, Rejects Will Rise.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Steam charts, data, update history.
i worry about that tho
i think alot of players will come back tho once it's out
I'm not surprised anymore when i'm seeing familiar players in missions o on Morningstar
Population shrinked
hey i'm new, does terrifying barrage actually do anything on a purg staff?
Yes and no. It seems to work but given that the staff already supresses even without killing, there is quite a lot of redundancy for using it. It does greatly increase the supression range behind you but if that's useful for someone it's an indication of poor placement skills / game sense.
fk the big E
I’d say Warp Flurry and Terrifying Barrage are two of the three best blessings for Purg.
Terrifying Barrage just not work in most time
Maybe cause it only procs on kill?
I play with another psyker regularly and have seen it suppress untouched enemies. I think it could be super helpful in those extra hectic situations.
what kind of staff should I use? enjoying the surge staff but everything i see shows voidstrike
(I don't have voidstrike unlocked yet, but I'd like to know how it is. Still levelling psyker)
Claw sword or dueling sword?
I have like the starting claw sword vs one I just got at level 8
And is it worth to buy the surge staff? I just unlocked it
If you’re not going for a specific build, and you’re still leveling… just have fun 🙂 try everything
While you lvling try whatever you want. Till lvl 30 you have plenty of time to find out which weapon you like. Mb you didn't like movest or visual effects and so on.
Everything is viable till you are good. Non of the weapons will give you skill.
Surge/Voidstrike/purgatus are all good; trauma is generally considered worse than the other staffs but you can absolutely succeed with it if you want. To my best knowledge voidstrike is most popular staff for first 3 difficulties, with Surge and Purgatus being more popular for Heresy+.
trauma damage is so low, i just duno how to use it
By putting in a trash can.
And it builds peril incredibly fast. And it has a tiny AOE.
@deft fiber what’s your typical loadout?
FS and purgatus with 122133 feats.
Surge becomes stale pretty fast for me. it's very strong on higher difficulties, but very boring.
Ahh cool cool. I do FS with surge and 121133.
Yea. It’s pocketed into CC/support pretty deep. Not a real clutch weapon… not a ton of elite/special kills popping up in the corner… but it’s super useful.
I'd prefer run 121112, so you have at least some kind of nuke you can try to rely on.
I’ve saved teammates from mutants, dogs and pox bursters countless times. Stopped crushers mid swing, paralyzed mauler patrols… super useful.
I keep kinetic barrage for the BB and so i dont lose stacks.
Ascendant Blaze pretty bad without 6 stacks, so it's not even a discussion
Ah, barrage, read is hard.
Well. Thing is that you have no horde clear with surge.
A bit of trade off, but i've see a lot when group have no horde clear at all. Which is sucks.
bring an Antax (Brutal Momentum) or something along those lines, if you bring surge
spam push attack, with brutal momentum procced it's pretty good at horde clear (lol), and psyker's stamina regen is fast enough that the push attack is fully spammable
Yea, surge is only strong against flak groups.
I think you’re spot on with the antax BM thing. I just dont use it.
well, anything good at killing hordes in place of the antax
a shred/devastating strike chainsword will do fine
etc
With FS and block efficiency and kinetic deflection and deflector… i’m like a tank. Which is more CC but i’m OK with that lol
antax is just the easiest to get, since it doesn't require luck with two blessings, just one
I really like that axe. Feels good to use.
forcesword will do fine in this role with slaughterer
But BM need to be a T2 at least tho. T1 is a bit hard to work around.
yup, but at least that shows up reasonably often in shop
just BM (level 2 or 3) and you're good, while other weapons need better rolls/more luck to do the same job
This is my sword. Got it a while ago and havent really invested in another one. Hard to get those good stat rolls.
That do be looking good
those slaughterer stacks will happily buff your soulblaze dots
I havent built a purg staff yet. Wanting to do that soon.
yeah if you have that sword you should
burn stuff, swap to sword, soulblaze kills give you slaughterer stacks and slaughterer stacks buff the soulblaze damage
it's like
This is my surge.
as funny as the zealot heavy sword crucian roulette thing
Is it supposed to work like that?
Right on, good to know
the same trick will work with shred - rack it up, then switch to your staff, and now your warp attacks have +25% crit
for ramping purgatus this is pretty great (+5 crit perk, warp nexus, etc)
crit purgatus ticks apply 2 stacks instead of 1
How often does the armory refresh?
hour
Is it on the hour?
Ty
Wow! That’s broken. I’m assuming it works with any staff?
any weapon
the shred buff is a character buff and it doesn't fall off until you swing and miss, as far as I can tell
How often is it recommended to purchase from the armory tho? Def seems more and more expensive with not as big rewards on mission completion
take shred weapon, swing once into horde, have full stacks, swap over
I'd just buy stuff you need (high rating weapons, blessings you want)
Most of the time it'll refresh and there's nothing worth it
So your income will definitely outpace your spend rate
It goes up in price because you’re leveling and unlocking higher gear scores. You can honestly get away with sub 200 gear score items until you’re lvl 30.
Ah ok. I have 20k rn.... Wanting to spend since I'm level 8 now and my gear is from level 3
slightly more than swing once
With BM it’s probably twice, yea lol
Yeah, don't bother till lvl 30. That's where all the "fun" begins.
Is this good?
Just unlocked the ability to equip a Crucio but have noen
The ordo docket bonus seems nice
I want to purchase my first surge staff but its only giving me trauma in the armory lol
Ordo dockets isn't a big problem. So no, you can do fine malice till lvl 30 with around 200 gear and no curios. But if you want to it's up to you to do whatever you want
fine malice?
Honestly just save money as much as possible for the good stuff
malice (difficulty 3) is not hard enough that you need to be level 30, and it gives the best rewards per run you can probably access and complete with leveling gear
Cause this is my loadout rn...and its feeling lame haha
I tried one level 3 mission and it was full too. Felt extremely difficult
we failed in the end
Level 2 seemed good but the increase in rewards felt like nothing
These are the current 2 guns I have rn
How do I know which is better? Are the percentages basically always mean higher is better for those?
Cause yeah, I am using the starting sword.....and idk if I should upgrade too if I was going to do level 3 missions
okay so, stats work like this
a weapon has a fixed amount, x, and then another portion, y that ranges from 0-80% of y, total final amount is x+y
Mark 4 is the fast-firing version of the Kantrael infantry lasgun, every Mark 4 will have the same ammo cost per shot, sights, etc
in the case of these two
the first one is better (more damage)
but you mentioned Mark 12. Is that better than mark 4 generally?
Mark 12 is the slow firing, hard hitting version of the Kantrael infantry lasgun
Where you might need to shoot something 2-3 times with Mark 4, Mark 12 will kill it in one headshot, for example
The downside is, it fires slower, and it uses more ammo per shot
Killing something in one shot means it doesn't get to duck behind cover or shoot you, so people like the Mark 12
I see...
People like sniper lasguns because they are good shots. There are lots of spray and pray weapons like the flamer and the fire-staff. If you are a sharpshooter you usually go for the high damage shot rifles...they are just more efficient but they require skill. You either go single target or horde containment, but Ogryn and preacher are best for that. Sharpshooter and Psyker are better in high damage dealing.
There's also the Accatran recon lasgun, which is a full auto laser hose with low damage per shot, high rof and low ammo consumption per shot
Psyker can get it, even if it's a bit of a ??? whether we should use it, lol
Up to Malice...nobody really cares, only very bad teams do not finish successfully in these levels. Heresy and Damnation is where you have to build your character up to its strengths
I feel like higher damage is more my style tho
Just use what is most fun up to Malice.
Is this a good choice to buy then? For 4620
since I dont have a Mark 12 yet, only 4s
yeah give it a try
Yea, definitely buy it and try it out.
You can always gamble and get a good basic gun then improve it with Hadron
You’re in the absolute earliest of early game, you need to try things.
Need diamantine and plsteel for it
oh, that's a good point - don't spend any of that stuff with Hadron until level 30
seriously save it, you'll need a lot
Absolutely agree, try out everything and see what is most fun
I spent some with Hadron just to see how it works and what you can get.
In Heresy and Damnation, you can get some really decent rewards
Plus lots of Plasteel and Diamantine...
I do them and I'm still staring at a chronic plasteel shortage :(
bloody fatshark ratios
Take your time when playing and explore, lots of goodies hidden around corners. But most players just grind and rush through levels which sucks
Marathon-tide
I have the game on both GamePass and Steam tho. My level 8 Psyker is on GamePass...but I think I might start over and start again on Steam
So hard to quick play on GamePass
always empty
thats what i did with vet and psyker at 30
I’ve only played on Steam and can say finding a team in Malice is usually instant. It’s Damnation that has a wait time.
Sounds like Steam will be better for you?
Malice is generally instant, faster than the rest
so if I switch to the las gun instead of the trauma staff...I always have this ammo issue tho
with 3 other ppl playing especially, I never have enough ammo and they take the ammo boxes
its also why i liked the staff, never had to worry haha
the costs are just way too high for the amount you get per mission per time spent
Can't blessing transpose so the only thing we can do is mass consecrate
I want a trick shooter / Crucian revolver on my zealot
Something like 800-1200+ plasteel each time depending on what I'm starting from to try to fish for it
150 plasteel per 20 minute run = three hours grinding malice per fishing attempt, it's pretty lol
I should just not, and calmly wait for melk
The advantage of a psyker is that they do not need ammo essentially. Play with Ogryns that use the stubber and you are their best friend lol
The first one
not as far as i know
Anyone else think the female psyker with the Eastern European accent is a secret chaos worshipper? She goes full chaos when she activates her class ability. 😱
She's by far the most heretical, most the things she says would get her killed on the spot in a normal circumstance
Totally agree. She’s the voice I chose and I’m often like ‘you’re gonna get us killed you maniac! Shut it!’
i have a question : after deflector, what is the best benediction ? for force sword ? thx
Of the psykers yes, but not all of the characters as i heard a veteran that was actively questioning the Emperors power
When they fixed veteran penance getting unlocked via said on other classes.
howdy psykers
what do y'all do for fun
i remember brain pop being satisfying in the open beta sign up
but i think it got nerfed a bit? not too familiar
been seeing that lightning staff. looks awesome for crowd control
Yes
Specials yes, horde not much since there is limit.
Best benediction -- working benediction on Zealot
About blessings -- Slaughterer, Exorcist even Shred would be fine.
can this appear on a force sword? got it on a chainsword from emperor's gift
Any useful perks for breakpoints on voidstrike?
yea
Try to use lfg channels.
Isn't it middle of the night in the USA currently
early morning yea
3am-7am
kinda sad btw
look how left for dead give a f
🥹
damn i thought l4d was an old ass dead game
Yeah, without any progression, customisation and such.

big tiddy anime mods keep the community alive
cool mods too
anyone got a guide on weapon upgrade system and stats? i dont get it at all after vt2
lots of non english speakers still play it
I see a lot of chinese and korean players online still
in fact, it is also played by many people from the USA
Didn't know there was a sequel
what's a good melee weapon that couples well with the purgatus staff mainly for killing elites, ogryns, and hordes when on critical peril? I've been using the antax mk v combat axe with brutal momentum for the infinite cleave and it's really good but is there anything better?
Chainsword or Mk5 Axe
But also, Critical Peril shouldn't be much of an issue with Purgatus;
Just quell the tiniest bit to get below 97% and then do a Secondary Fire.
plenty of traffic in SEA too. versus and campaign is pretty bangin
Sour Melk
Just needed to replace Stamina with Unarmoured
but no
Melk had to say "Hehe 28% Shredder"
"Get fucked, Sparkhead"
Also, I really hope they Double or Triple Plasteel income sometime soon
We need more Plasteel
GOD DAMNIT HADRON
IT WAS SO GOOD
AND THEN
RUN 'N' GUN
Fuck
At least I can keep it for when they finish crafting in 2024
finally got the bastarding pick n mix penance
and the skin is not worth it can barely see the pattern on the trousers ;_:
and also nice staff dude
Should I do Unarmoured or Ranged Weakpoint Damage?
It's nice apart from Run 'n' Gun
This is like
my only staff with potential.
The game refuses to give me anything else.
:')
Shared crafting materials and increased Plasteel pick ups when?
And more loot income when?

Oh btw
What Perk would be best paired with the +FlakArmour
+Ranged Weak Spot Damage% or +Unarmoured%?
for Voidstrike specifically.
Unarmoured for dregs.
Now I just need to wait for Re-Bless
I've so far got almost a God Roll I think
Just
Run 'n' Gun is in the way.
why dont u get 25%
You can?
Oh wait
I forgot Tier 4 Perks
Forgot they existed because I never see any

There we go
Cold Take:
All of Melk's Weapons should be 350 Modifiers or above.
hmm is the psyker penance bugged or im doing wrong?
Which Penance?
to kill the dog with mind explosion
killed them few times already with it
but cant do it somehow
Have to do it while they're pouncing
aha ok
but the penance says to kill with mind explosion how i could know to do that when the dog is pouncing
its confusing
Time it
or
Use the secondary fire version that you can charge without a target
Charge it up, and then fire when they're mid pounce
the penances are so confusing or dont have much info
i wouldnt know to kill it when it pouncing if i wouldnt ask
"Kill a pouncing Pox Hound with Brain Burst"
and would try to kill them endlessy with mind explosion and always fail
here where i live it says to kill it with mind explosion
Ah
Btw, can anyone help me decide on a melee weapon pairing for Voidstrike?
Part of me wants to say Duelling Sword or Chainsword
But I don't know what makes a good Duelling Sword like I do a Chainsword or Force Sword.
It takes a bit I found
Once you find your flow and realise that you need to play differently than the other classes it gets better
A lot of the Psyker Talents don't synergise with Psyker as a whole, so there's also the case of having to realise that and learn how to play without very influential Talents a lot of the time.
Psyker's Talent Tree needs some major fixing
I have a hard time not running Duelling Sword on Psyker for the mobility it gives and with peril blocking its still a good choice to ress people with
got myself a heavy axe with power on repeat hits and 3,5 seconds brutal momentum and high stat rolls
ain´t looking back
Why specifically does Peril Blocking help with Revives?
(Been a while since I played, and so I forgot some things)
because you won´t get guard broken when reviving
Duelling sword has low stamina so you get knocked out of it
Oh wait, does Reviving put you into blocking stance?
Yes
Ahhhhhh
That's the clinking sound if melee tries to hit you
Well say, if I was comfortable with not having as much mobility, would Chainsword be a good pick?
Because I'm quite comfortable with Chainswords
Gotten very used to them
Does Psyker get Chainswords?
Yes
I legit have no idea what melees they get
Its a good coice. Chainswords are pretty good overall.
Awesome.
Does anyone know if Cleave increases targets for Surge staff?
It would be cool if it did though
True
What I'd like to see is charge time corelating to how many First Targets you can hit with Surge
Thus increasing amount of total targets, and your killing power
Because the first targets take more damage of course
Make charging actually worth it
Instead of it just being Spam Cast: The Staff
Don't you do more overall damage if you fully charge?
For sure.
But it does a decent amount more damage I think
The stun is just so much more valuable
Like, you have more killing power with insta cast
and then Blaze Bolt the stunned enemies.
Also:
Duelling Swords (Obviously)
Axes
Chainsword
Force Sword (Obviously)
Devil's Claw Swords
Daggers
and technically Staffs because of staff bonk lul
I wish they made the staff bonk a genuinely useful tool
Dagger Psyker, ugh.
It should be something useful than actually 1 billion year swing.
Idk why the staves don't have special moves based on their use
^
Imagine Surge having a melee electric shock that executes
Or Purge being a small flame explosion
We didn't get unique Primary Fires apart from Purgatus
So why can't we get unique Special Actions?
Probably for the same reason
A lot of the Psyker kit really should get some touch ups.
Both Psyker as a class, and their weapons.
I'm pretty sure they made flamer and then just put it on Purge
And were like "its infinite ammo and fast so make it worse"

Well.. It's a carbon copy of vermintides flamer staff and flamer weapon
They made a recolor before. A lot of efforts.
Both flamer and purge primary is just so wrong
Only unique staff for DT is a Surge.
Voidstrike fits with the current Blaze Bolt, since it's a high impact weapon with range.
Trauma staff should throw rocks with Telekinesis or have an AOE primary fire.
Surge should have a hitscan lightning bolt for it's primary fire.
It's a canon Psyker talent
Assail iirc
Pull boulders from the ground and launch them at people
Okay Blooddrunk.
Anyway.
I think giving Psyker something that leans more into Telekinesis's side of manipulating objects instead of generating force (as Trauma and Voidstrike do rn) would be cool.
Sounds badass tbh but I don’t know if the engine can handle us tearing chunks of steel about. Maybe some of the barrels/boxes we see in the game? Maybe bringing over some detritus to make emergency cover
I want biomancy tbh
I mean
Have you guys tried the 5 Wounds build yet.
it'd probably just be generating an object below the ground and then pulling it out
Likely wouldn't affect the environment.
If Assail came to Darktide, I imagine the best fit would be generating a boulder type entity below the floor, and pulling it out creates a temporary shift to the look of the ground by making juts of rock stick out for a moment before dissipating.
Could be a Secondary Fire too, with a Primary Fire being a mid range shockwave, like a shove.
Kinda like Sienna's Beam Staff Secondary Fire but instead of applying DoT, it knocks back and does low damage.
Biomancy would be cool too
We do kinda have it already with Surge staff
but literally just the Secondary Fire
so seeing more would be cool
A Biomancer Career in the future where you drain health from enemies and can heal your allies.
Would be cool.
That would be sick
There's so much they could do with Psyker
Yeah
For a basis
Trauma and Voidstrike are cool uses of Telekinesis
Using it to generate Force
But now I wanna see examples in game of Telekinesis's use of manipulating objects instead
i wanna see crafting finished
Like, we got "Psykinetic"
When we could've gotten Telekinetic, Biomancer, Pyromancer etc
Me too.
All base classes are basically "bland, generic version"
I would rather they took their time, so we don't get glitches and such from that.
Fair.
Vet: Gun
Zealot: Melee
Psyker: Weirdo
Ogryn: Strong
But I'd still like to see more examples of Psyker abilities with Staffs and hopefully future Careers.
The subclass leaks looked promising at least
Instead of just Sienna but Space.
But without new staffs it'll probably suck for Psyker even with a new subclass
So hopefully they add that as well
I used to not like the zap staff, but, now that I know how to use it... I am loving it.
I wish I could say the same for the voidstrike. :/
I like Voidstrike because I don't wanna lose missions to the Veteran not taking care of ranged threats.
Having range makes me happy.
So when I see a buzz buzz sword Vet we don't insta lose Diff4 and above.
Still, why are Vets so addicted to the Power Sword?
I thought they picked their class to be a ranged fighter.
cuz it slashes
it's a jack of all trades melee
Not a discount Zealot.
i just bb stuff down and go up and hit em with ascendant blaze with 6 stacks boom ranged enemies dead
Power Sword solves melee for Vet
It hurts elites, it hurts hordes...
Take out, activate, swing
Repeat
And their stamina is dogshit
So they can't actually manage hordes with shoves
I've seen Vets never take out their ranged weapon in Diff4 and above though because of it lol
And it's only been Power Sword Vets
Meanwhile in Damnation I only see Vets with lasguns shoot into hordes
And never use melee
Ah yes we have a Psyker, an Ogryn and a Zealot keeping the horde off me
better shoot the horde.
I've legit never not used my ranged AND melee in a mission... as any character...
You're joking but...
I've seen it
Literally 5 poxwalkers
all I play is damnation and i’d rather have a vet with a gun who can pick targets
And they're spraying into them with the lasgun

I love and hate Vets who don't know how to do their job.
Wait with a kantrael?
Not somehow
Yes
xii or IV/Ia?
When I say they shot at everything
I mean they shot at everything
The only time they used melee was when they had no ammo
I've only ran out of ammo with a xii when I had to shoot like... 50000 ranged mobs
No clue. I was too busy laughing to care
Lasgun into carapace is also
A great experience
The clink sound is fun to hear as the Vet panics
Lasgun into carapace is only viable on the zealot
Otherwise? Out comes the power sword...
Chastise The Wicked has a weird effect of making enemies you shoot count as lower armour, right?
So Carapace counts as Flak and Flak counts as Unarmoured
idk, but, every hit is a crit as well I think
To some extent, yes.
The main time I am hitting carapace armor as a vet with a kantrael is when I hit a shield on a bulwark or the armor on a reaper.
They have parts
reapers do, their gun
Ah
bulwark's shields are carapace too
Shield is just Shield
Except to Knife stabs
They are counted as carapce in the meat grinder
If you hit the shield it doesn't show anything though
Shield is Shield
It always tells me carapace... :/
And might count their hands
From the front?
Yeah
It's Darktide, what'd you expect? Consistent and informative information?


idk, maybe I was hitting the back when I saw the armor type
You can hit the shield from the side/back
Kind of
But I'm unsure if that's the wrist guard
Or the actual shield
Yes
Because the shield code is actually just
If the player is 180 degrees in front of the shield
Take no damage
I'm pretty sure I got this one in some weird buggy situation
Like I was nowhere near any ledge when I suddenly got it
Any tips for Pick n Mix, the only real penance I have for this class left and I'm struggling to find groups to help/not kill them before I can?
Me and a friend did it the other day. Ogryn with shield scope out an area for elites. Soften up any elite that takes more than 1 BB. Works best on groups of gunners or ragers. It took us easily 25 tries, but just keep restarting the beginning of heresy / high intensity heresys and hope for a good spawn for elite groups.
Not sure about feat setup, I was the ogryn.
Cheers, it's just so counter productive for team play
Yeah. Loads of the penances are.
Welcome to Darktide.
If you run 5 Wounds you can blow yourself up infinitely as long as you don't get corruption

Its best to just go as a 2 stack and get the bots killed.
It's not about blow up, i's about BB 5 targets in 10 seconds and kill them.
Ah.
I'll give that a go
Yeah, blowing up? Yeah, if stars favor you. But yeah, more doable than BB 5 targets.
BB 5 targets you just need 5 gunners shooting the Shield Ogryn
Tbh in the 25 or so times that it took us to get it, we were super close maybe 10-12 times. We got fucked over by a bot killing an elite, the psyker exploding or getting jumped by disablers.
I feel like BBing 5 elites shouldn't be that hard if you get a 4 stack team
Well, like none of penances.
"you just need 5 gunners" good luck with a spawn like that. They love throwing them in the middle of goon shooters and pairing them with reapers
Nah you get spawns like that all the time in Heresy and Damnation
I mean yeah they're thrown into other enemies
But if your Shield Ogryn just stands there and you have a Vet that snipes the normal shooters
I got my pick n mix in a pub hi-intensity heresy
It is also that on heresy theres only a handful of elites that go down in 1 BB
Yep. Bombers, gunners, shotgunners, and snipers
I did have a case where I almost got it off of 4 bombers before
To be fair those fuckers might as well be punching since once you go down you ain't getting back up without help
I love how pathetic Ogryns look being held by a dog
Its weird seeing ogryns getting pinned by hounds
Lol
At least 3 characters have things they can do that should dislodge dogs.
All Ogryns are clearly scared of doggos
Psykers: Press F and knock the dog off. Zealots: Press F and knock the dog off. Ogryn... How the fuck are they even pinned? But press F and knock the dog off.
We should be able to use our special skill or whatever it's called to push the dog off
The mutants have to punch the ogryns in the face because they're too big, but a dog? Nah get pinned.
Speaking of Gunner spawns
It still annoys me that the ogryn and zealot charge doesn't ignore trapper nets
If Zealot could do this then crit Zealots would steamroll the dogs even harder
I'm just sayin' it would make sense
We have a Psykinetic fucking push
And we can't use it to push a dog off of us
Its hard to focus when a dog is biting your face
Dogs shouldn't even be perma stuns
Nah, nah, we use the push in perilous situations all the time to keep ourselves from blowing up
We shouldn't just be treated like an unattended toddler at a dog park
On a different note, I've been upgrading a new FS and I'm kinda hoping I get a T4 Blazing Spirit on gold
Deflector would also be cool but
This is just sorta the best FS I have laying around
There's so little synergy in the Psyker talents, god
The best you got is some weird Soul Blaze
But the level 30 already does it so well that its like, why even use the other ones
2 stacks of Soulbalze would be nice if it was on any enemy killed
Wrack and Ruin is garbage
Yeah
It does not apply enough soul blaze at all
It's fun if you're doing a pyromancer themed build but it ain't good at all
It should apply 8 Soul Blaze minimum
Lets meet in the middle with 6
Pretty sure
It needs either a huge range buff or a buff to the amount of soul blaze yeah
Both
Then the other two wouldn't be worth considering
I'd still run Peril Resistance
Which speaking of: Inner Tranquility could be good for your BB build
kb is better if you wanna spam bbs
I know
But I don't want to just spam BBs
I want to shout SUCH POWER
And spam BBs
WORSHIP ME OR DIE
Its just really weird that KB doesn't take away your Warp Charges
Nah not really
On malice probably
If Asceding Blaze gives one stack per charge then it does kill on Damnation
6 stacks can kill elite gunners on damnation.
It takes a while but
Is soul blaze's damage dependent on what applied it
Okay then yeah it should be fine
At this Point, the Psyker needs a full Talent Tree rework I think.
A few of them are fine
And there's definitely some synergy
Its kind of like Zealot
Having a dumb low HP build that's just bad.
And a lot of dead feats
Well yeah, but a few out of 18 is-
not great.
I hope your build will work for you 
But 6 stacks of martydom ;^)
yea 6 stacks ascendant blaze nukes a lot
I'll stack your martyrdom
Oh trust me I don't need help stacking that
It'd be better if we had more consistent ways of generating Warp Charges with Staves and the Force Sword
There's a reason I run one wound curio
but we don't.
What is Ascending Blaze
Ascendant Blaze-
Psykinetic's Wrath expends all Warp Charges and applies stacks of Soulblaze to enemies hit based on the number of Warp Charges expended. Enemies killed by your Soulblaze effects (from any source) have a 10% chance to grant you a Warp Charge.
I keep trying to play my Psyker like Sienna Unchained
KB also lets you get full stacks rapidly and with Psykinetic's Aura you can get it back quickly.
But Aura + Barrage nearly the same you trying to do, but you cast BB much faster for less cost.
As I said, it'd be better if we had more consistent ways of generating Warp Charges with Staves and the Force Sword.
Th-that was a rhetorical question
Yes but I don't want to do it faster for less cost.
I want to shout enemies away
And pretend my +15% damage will help team-mates
Fun fact that +15% damage also applies to your BB
Force Sword, Voidstrike, Trauma and Surge rely on Kinetic Flayer and Psychic Communion entirely.
It totally isn't supposed to but it does
I mean that's not super helpful still
It's a bug™️
But that's, uh, something?
Since aura reduce your CD for 1.5 sec , you can shout as much as you can as soon you have elites to kill
1.5s isn't 15% out of 30s though.
Psyker is the only class that has to invest talents to fix our iconics (warp charges)
Literary half of the issues with the class is right there.
pretty sure its 30s
Yeah I'm trying to find it
But I'm pretty sure all actives are 30s
It would have to be 10s for 15% to be 1.5s though.
And there's no way its 10s
I'm so looking forward to being able to extract blessings, it'll be so nice
I heard something about Psychic Communion bing bugged. It stacks +4% for each psyker in the team with it. But only on of Psyker at any given moment benefits from this crazy good chance of free Warp charge.
Not an official source, but Royal w/ Cheese guide says 30s
It seems correct.
Nerf shartpshooters!
Warp RNG
You can Kinetic Flayer on BB, right?
Now what weapons should I bring to support my brain bursting journey.
But imagine 4 Psykers 16% Chance of Warp Charge on any team kill. It will be max charges on every psyker in seconds of any engagement!
And then they died
Wait
Wyck
You're onto something
Quicken
On 4 Psykers
That get 6 stacks constantly
Perma CC everything
I need a squad
The finest of Psykers
4 zealots what
Is this why nothing makes sense so far?
Yes.
You can't see the logic with your incomparable mind
this is like that moment in among us when someone tries to make the story about how they were in electrical, far away from any events that transpired earlier
I'm back to [Enjoying/Suffering] Kinetic Defelection on Steroids build. Or "Dried Rice Paper Tank' build
It's good , it's working.. but it's merciless to any of your mistakes
Amount of stress in generates is goood 🙂
block everything build is cool until you get shot from the side/back or get dogged or flamed or bombed or grabbed by a mutie or get trapped
Excatly, so i go into tank mode only when it's sensible and riskless to do so
Informed opinion should be rejected by the perseverance of faith.
Psyker needs less RNG in their Talents, and a more defined gameplay loop.
Pls OverweightFish, Pls.
Load into my first mission of the day.
Immediately crash.
Thanks FatShark.
:D
ur welcome
dont forget to check out the cash shop and hourly shop
stay tuned for our next update anytime from the next week to the next 9 months
Should i swap my deflector force sword that i "luckily" got around level 20(?) for one that has stats that reflect my level or just keep that and be happy about the blessing?
Because thats my only deflectlor melee
If your FS have decent stat distribution why not, but i doubt it have any good base
Good base > deflector. Because you actually need go to melee and defend yourself.
Yeh thats why i am asking
K so im going with the new one, there's quite the difference
Maybe i'll even get lucky, my "new" voidstrike staff has full sprint and stamina perks/blessings
Well, if you running malice and lower you can keep one you are using.
If only i could scrap my old equipment, the scrolling around is so tedious
You mean like selling the stuff you don't use?
Breaking it down into components for crafting x)
oh, yeah that would be nice.
unfortunately fatshark has been doing absolutely nothing for about a month now

Sadly at cyrrent state with bugged stamina curios it's impossible to passively tank Demonhost of FS with KD with 65% Block and 7 stamina. You have to dodge...
it's like elden ring first month of PvP all over again. no updates, nothing
Why does Bulwark block Trauma staff secondary when the epicenter is behind him unless you stand behind him?
fs quells too slow
bulwark only checks your position. not the spell circle's position
lazy coding
Seems scuffed
If it build up Peril slower it will work too
Hope they change it
yeah. at least the Pinky in Doom Eternal allows you to detonate rocket behind its ass
maybe but i dont think its possible
takes more block cost than other weapons too lol
honestly FS is gonna let this game die without content or communication
Just +6 more stamina into the equation will work miracles 🙂
I don't think so. At least they had the survey so I guess they do want to improve stuff
plz plz plz good blessings
Except for Vet grenades

dont worry we will maybe get a community update this week at the earliest
darn. I guess we truly are the bastard
I'm expecting next week to be honest
and then in that update they will say uhhhh guys sorry but we dont want to give a timeline for crafting but we are working on it ok thats it see u in 2 months
There will be more content in form of few more misspelled surveys and probably that's it 🙂

o m g
Doh! +2% unstable power ><
riposte next
Omnissiah be praised!!
need 20% block and its perfect
nice also i hate you that should be mine
nah +1 stamina is better for block
Does the BB extra damage stack if you have several Psykers with it?
why
which should I try and re-roll for stam or block?
Probably carapace? Does Fsword do anything against crushers
probably specialist melee damage
yes it nukes them
special heavy hit hard
In that case ye specialists
Yeah definitely reload specialist into stamina or block efficiency
I think you are going to use your other tools for specialists, no?
even so 8% is pathetic
anyway you os specialist with one specizl
Halp
can you share the grid dmg sheet ?
just the way the peril block formula is
