psyker-class

[ornate hamlet]

then you're in a shit group, find another

Pubs are for the chads though

[split oxide]

I've never 'carried' the team.. everytime a revive happens, it's a two man job.

• I'm either block/pushing or reviving.

[ornate hamlet]

Though tbf the most common reason a revive doesn't go through is because there's ranged shooting from 200m and they still stagger you out of it

Thanks Fatshark, very fun

[clear heath]

That's also a nice thing about deflector

it works while reviving

[ornate hamlet]

purgatus usually a lot better for CCing horde then pushing, especially if there's some armored guys in there

[split oxide]

ahhh ... the multiple toxgunner death

[ornate hamlet]

More like 1 Dreg or Scab stalker

[cyan notch]

what if theres a bunch of shooters

[ornate hamlet]

i used to run surge, i switched to purg, it's just better overall imo

[ornate hamlet]

then i sit back and BB after F

[cyan notch]

and then your downed guy is dead

[ornate hamlet]

yep, deservedly

[split oxide]

truely ... a humiliation

[ornate hamlet]

They're literally enemy #1 in this game.

Their trash AI is what makes them scary.

[clear heath]

Honestly i don't get the mentality of giving up if the team is shit
The whole point of getting better is to be able to carry shittier teams no? If your teams were good, the game would be too easy anyways

[split oxide]

no no .. hordes and stalkers are the threat.. but 4 toxunners pinning down your revival-team is the reason the down guy stays dead.

[clear heath]

Why prepare for good teams when they'll win anyways? Should be preparing for the shit ones

[ornate hamlet]

i play the game to grind out gear for 0.0001% stat improvement, like most other games.
not to carry randos

[ornate hamlet]

You just need 2 of any shooter type and you can't revive without killing them, even at full toughness.

yes, of course i help carry, but i'm not building around carry

[clear heath]

damnation isn't even a good source for grinding

[ornate hamlet]

which is why i don't run it lol

[valid marsh]

Autopistol is fun

[clear heath]

fair enough
I just assumed we were talking about what was good in damnation

[ornate hamlet]

purg staff is actually quite good at holding back enemies for your allies while they revive, it's not like you need to be the one picking them up

hold the enemies back while killing them, while allies do the reviving

that's typically how i roll

and yes, if there's ranged in there sniping ppl n shit, i'm unable to do it, i have to back off and BB

[clear heath]

I run deflector force sword so i'm usually the one reviving since i can block bullets

[ornate hamlet]

that's cool if that's your thing, it's just not my playstyle.

[split oxide]

BB is good if you're pinned down but have time.
Just do 3x BB and they will:

• either disappear/retreat
• rush you

[ornate hamlet]

they always rush me personally, it depends on how far away they are tho. they hide if too far away to rush

[strange wigeon]

had a cool high int. dmanation disruption 2 days ago, we cycled through at least 8 different teammates that quit when they were downed and thought it's over, just me and a dude called John Warhammer sticked with it and we managed to get it done. The bots coming in when they ragequit as distraction helped a bit though lol

just try to roll with what you get and maybe you'll pull through

[clear heath]

I'm impressed you even managed to get 8 different teammates to show up in damnation
Damnation queues are pretty dead most of the time

[strange wigeon]

disruption and repair always get people because most are missing that for the frames

can be bad though, had a repair where everyone was below level 20 but they jumped on damnation because they were frame chasing

that's how rare it is on the mission terminal

[split oxide]

I make the mistake as a psyker to "go ham" at the beginning with my axe.

• the team feel like it's a "kills" competition, try to keep up and make mistakes.
• they they run into an elite ambush near the end.
  I have to.. am learning to deliberately hold back at the beginning and let the team find it's pace.
  (learned that from an Ogryn)

[cyan notch]

ive gotten that before lmao last one guy in a clutch but i go down everyone leaves and bots appear and res me

[strange wigeon]

an old ranger trick , happened lots in Cata VT2 chaos wastes, lots of people playing above their skills there also for frame chasing. Luv me bots

[steel egret]

I usually blow up once at start to set the tone and assert dominance

[split oxide]

.. that might do it

[clear heath]

wear the malice frame as well to instill fear into your team

[split oxide]

prison outfit.

[clear heath]

psyker with prison outfit and malice frame blowing up at the start of the mission
nothing would scare me more

[steel egret]

With a name like FARTBOX or URINECAKE

[strange wigeon]

prison outfit has a reverse effect on me, screams "tryhard"

[steel egret]

I think Ive seen fartbox once but he was ogryn

[hollow breach]

What’s the best staff?

[split oxide]

cry/laughing like an idiot here

[steel egret]

Im more scared of red robed psykers that look like ribbed red condoms.

And use only BB

Because that is generally heavy lifting run.

[covert ermine]

I personally don't think damnation is dead i think there's something wrong with the match making

[split oxide]

I like to detonate barrels with and hordes when my team is next to them.
just so they remember I can give.. but also taketh away

[steel egret]

Low intensitys get filled very fast.

[steel egret]

Playing god slinging rest of the team off bridge.

[split oxide]

purgatus - accept no substitute

To be fair .. ogryns bull rushes to that too:
HORDE:

• you have a two man team blocking chokepoint
• psyker purgatus is seconds away from draining the horde.
  BULLRUSH.
• Horde is in the air... and now all around your team.

[steel egret]

Barrel is goin -

Bar -

[split oxide]

no ... stop ...

Going back to what I said about psyker (wielding Staff/Axe/BB) is the slowest.
MFW ogryn or vet smacks a barrel they just ran past.

[strange wigeon]

most likely, it's very inconsistent. Lobby browser would help a lot alongside doubling the lobby time

[shadow onyx]

last game i downed 3 people ( including me ) with a barrel + purgatus

i'm so proud

( we won the mission )

[split oxide]

Depends on your playstyle.. and how fast you can get your team to fall-in-line.
If you provide good cover against:

• locking down ragers/hounds/bursters/muties/flamers/bullwark/crusher/mauler/multiple-targets
• or horde&rager rushes.
  ... depending on what your team is weak/strong at: they will form around you.
  (but no one likes trauma)

Which missions should you avoid on a 'Flawless execution' run?

[steel egret]

Assassination, if you play with randos

If they dont melee boss shield and decide to go as far as they can they can get fucked by specials while this fucker with a pistol or a shotgun chases you

Besides that avoid barrels or Bar-

[dull saddle]

Haven't played any psyker yet so I need to ask

Can you Brainburst through walls if the target is highlighted?

[vernal frost]

Nope

[dull saddle]

LAME

[vernal frost]

You need direct line of sight

Also railings tend to fuck up

[dull saddle]

So much for, "they can hidew their bodies but they can't hide their minds..."

BB would be so great if it could

[vernal frost]

Now that I think of it it looks like a worse plasma gun in this instance

[dull saddle]

Plasma can atleast pen railing

Knowing what you can and can't pen though is a lot of trial and error

mostly error

[vernal frost]

Considering that exploding with the plasma gives you that kill 3 elites achievement makes me think it and bb were made from one set of assets

[safe mountain]

of the head. Doesn't work if you only see 90% of the body but not the head...

[vernal frost]

Never had a situation where I could only see the lower body, but if that's true than god damn that's fd up

[acoustic trench]

Worth the upgrade?

Also never used this mk for the dueling sword how is it?

[split oxide]

Lol, my shopping selection is just full of autoguns :/

[solar loom]

Hard to say. +1 Stamina is a much better perk for a kinetic deflection build, but that Mk of sword doesn't have a defense stat, so it might still be worse.

[acoustic trench]

I prefer to use my dueling sword for single target dps. So I'm assuming my current one is better right? This mk II seems to use cleave.

Really wish we could trial these weapons out.

[solar loom]

Yea, no idea

[tight crater]

6/7 on cliffhanger again

[solar loom]

Do you have a cheaper Mk II kicking around somewhere?

[tight crater]

this penance really sucks

[acoustic trench]

Maybe my inventory is too big lol

[solar loom]

At least it's not 20 anymore

I was sitting on 19/20 for weeks before they knocked it down to just needing 7 😄

[acoustic trench]

The one where you have push some dudes off a cliff?

[tight crater]

yeah

ive just been trying to farm on chasm station

[acoustic trench]

Can't ya just use that one ledge near the drawbridge in Enclavum Baross?

Or rather two ledges

that spawn hordes in

[tight crater]

isnt there a balcony under them?

[acoustic trench]

I thought the push is strong enough to throw them off of that too but I'm probably wrong.

[tight crater]

maybe, but i'm not sure

[acoustic trench]

Also I forgot what the map is called, it's a disruption mission or something like where you have to use servitors to hack into terminals throughout the mission, near the end you have a small room with two walkways connecting it and a hacking terminal minigame in the center of the room, that's where I got mine, just pushed off hordes on the walkway, was easy as pie.

[tight crater]

Ah, that would also work

[acoustic trench]

Probably look for that mission with a high intensity modifier.

becareful though don't stay at the doorway because the push will work if you push them off one side of the walkway, not if pop it in the middle.

[tight crater]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

[split oxide]

balcony is underneath - byt the fall does damage, and so does '(f)'

[cyan notch]

f doesnt do any damage though

[split oxide]

Hmm.. something else then. I've seen some despawn aftr (f)

[near gale]

Maybe they fell through the map?

[split oxide]

pushed them off ledge in sandy cavern (wall leading to gangplank and 2x vault doors) (I expected to climb back up ; gone)

[frigid burrow]

Can the perils explosion actually kill elites in 1 hit on malice or do I need to soften them up first

[vernal frost]

I think it can kill ragers and shotgunners

[frigid burrow]

Only time I managed to get 3 together was the armored ogryns rushing me on heresy they just laughed and beat up my body

[near gale]

[cyan notch]

yea that aint gonna happen go check damage in meat grinder

[near gale]

They probably were damaged

How did they blow up if they weren't using their staff/brain burst? >.>

Unlikely? Yes. Possible? Also yes.

[cyan notch]

i think youre misreading it

[near gale]

I read it as their peril explosion killed the 3 ogryn elites

on heresy

[cyan notch]

how would they laugh and beat up their body if they were killed

[near gale]

Good question

You're probably right. I am an airhead, so that could go right over my head. x.x

[maiden wolf]

Espionage

[strange wigeon]

yeah that map is also very easy so if you ask the team politely not to shoot the horde on one walkway they'll oblige seeing as 1 person can cover 1 walkway on damnation and there's just 2 walkways to cover. It's espionage, yellow bridge on the map picture

[near gale]

There's a very good one on the start of the mission where you need to get 9 fuel canisters at the end from the 2 train things. There's a wooden walkway off to the side that a horde can funnel into

[floral kite]

Anyone want to group up and do the kill a monster solo penance? Thought there might be a group of Psykers interested

[near gale]

I would, but, I have to get ready for work myself. x.x

I've just been procrastinating

[floral kite]

Penance is made particularly bad because you cant even solo it with AI dealing damage

[near gale]

You gotta have your premade group of buddies or people willing to help x.x

[floral kite]

10/10 game design

I wish they had just copied DRG and their itemisation system

[near gale]

I wish you could equip your bots, like you could in vt2...

Even if it's only like 5% more dps... and 10% more survivability...

[split oxide]

Does demonhost count as 'Monster'?

[near gale]

I think it does...

[floral kite]

I think so

[near gale]

don't quote me on that, tho

[floral kite]

But you run the risk of it killing you after targeting someone else

[near gale]

Unless your Ogryn can really tank it

[floral kite]

Which is fine if you have a premade, but thats true of all these penances. Fine if you have three friends, terrible if you are trying to do it solo.

[split oxide]

and two others to clear the horde and avoid the demonhost.

[near gale]

Imagine getting it to 89% only to then die to it...

[floral kite]

At this stage its simply impossible to do for me because I dont have a group and its hard even on discord to get three others.

[split oxide]

or 89% and a stray shot hits it

[floral kite]

I wish so much we had DRG method of cosmetics

[near gale]

rip in pepperonies... x.x

or some1 dcs and the bot kills it

[honest ore]

Anyone free to lend a hand in getting the Pick n Mix penance, happy to help with other penances in return.

[cyan notch]

yes

[steel egret]

Yes, abomination.

[cloud heron]

Are you there, Emperor? It's me, psyker main. I know you're busy, but it's been 250 hours and I still don't have a purge staff with 76 burn.

[idle bay]

i got one from Melk...

Melk had a stroke today and there was a 380 base stats Kickback for Ogryn. well while being 380 it's still a Kickback - most useless weapon in game 🙂

Also quite good Cleaver mk III with 1 per and blessing to reroll to make it neearly perfect

[cloud heron]

melk stuff is pretty expensive, but I may have still bought it just in case they buff it

[idle bay]

There is a miniscule (like Zealot's brain) chance for Melk to have a good things on sale.
Otherwise his purpose it sell T4 Blessing donor-items for fututr crafting..

[split oxide]

5k melkbux - nothing to buy

[idle bay]

12745 on my Psyker

Literally nothing to buy for weeks

367 hours and there was only 2 items worth buying for Psyker.

1. really good Purgatus
2. Curio with 2 out of 3 perks i seek

[split oxide]

I bought a few items , cos I was a n00b, didn't understand stats etc etc.

[idle bay]

I gave up on upgrading Curios with stat + perk i need. Wasted unhealthy amount of mats to get curios with 1of 3 perks each and every time.

But managed to get 2 curios with 3 out of 3, and 1 with 2 out of 3. I'm very close

[split oxide]

yup, .. promising base stat.. not bad Blessing ... (oh .. trash)

[idle bay]

And recently upgraded fully 3 +3 Stamina curios (for test build) to find out that Stamina is bugged on Curios and only provide +1

test build still worked though even with 6 less stamina

[pliant junco]

what is the pinned for stam/block calculation and deflector bless ?

i dont see it

[idle bay]

At this point i'm not even mad that there a silence from Fatshark for so long - i'm mad because there is no cash shop update and aquillas are burning my pockets!

[pliant junco]

because someone said 1 stam was better than 20 % block cost reduction for deflector

[near gale]

Imagine 1 stamina and 20% block cost reduction...

and 3 max block efficiencies on curios

[pliant junco]

still no clue why its better if you must pick one

[near gale]

because if you go from 3 stamina to 4 that's a 25% block effiency boost as opposed to 3 stamina with 20%

or w/e

it might be 33% on 3 to 4

so you get more value

[pliant junco]

but why ? youre not supposed to not using any stam base and only peril instead ?

[near gale]

I have no clue

[pliant junco]

[near gale]

It might have to do with block cost of peril

[pliant junco]

freaking fatshark and their weird mechanics

[near gale]

I don't know if stamina affects that, or not

[pliant junco]

someone said it matters

[near gale]

That would be ironic af, since I run a +stamina curio usually no matter what on psyker

I do that for sprinting, tho, and not for blocking

[idle bay]

Kinetic Deflection:
Block attacks with Peril instead of stamina when below 90% Peril.
While blocking with Peril, gain (Attack Stamina Damage * 0.25 / Max Stamina)% of Peril.

[idle bay]

Though i don't know how Block Efficiency involved in that formula

[near gale]

So does block efficiency help, as well

?

[cyan notch]

yes

[pliant junco]

so its false, you dont block all damage on peril but only a part ?

[near gale]

So i can run my 3 stamina curios on psyker and get benefit, fro mthat?

[cyan notch]

? you do

[near gale]

its while below 90% peril

[cyan notch]

yes but also stam curios only give 1

[near gale]

Yes, but, that helps with sprinting with dueling sword

which is why I like +stamina curios, for at least 1 curio xD

above 90% peril you use stamina

below 90% peril you generate peril with the block

[pliant junco]

Why sometimes i get guard broken while facing ennemy with no huge peril

[cyan notch]

bug

[near gale]

I knew there were roaches, somewhere...

🐛

[cyan notch]

getting hit with 0 stamina will break your guard even though you are blocking with peril (which happens if youre pushing/dodging a lot)

[pliant junco]

[long wharf]

what's really silly is that peril resistance doesn't factor in

[near gale]

And block cost efficiency and stamina does

[long wharf]

yeah

[near gale]

That's ironic af xD

[long wharf]

typical incompetent FartShart

[near gale]

Hey, I think it adds a bit of flavor. 😉

It also makes your knowledge pay off >.>

"why are you running stamina with block peril, you baffoon?!"

[pliant junco]

thats what ive thought.

i bet they coded like calculate on your stam > put on your peril

instead of just use value of stam on a separate keyword

[near gale]

ikr?

[cyan notch]

they acknowledged the bug tho but who knows when it will get fixed

[near gale]

in 4 years

If we're lucky

After vt2's 5th dlc career for sienna

and the 4th edition of the wastes

[pliant junco]

they probably crunch on console version and dont give a shit about us

[near gale]

with a brand new chaos god

now inviting whatchamacallit, the god of calling out your bs hot takes!

After the great praise of thingamajigger, we invite this new chaos god!

[pliant junco]

at least you can be sure they scheduled premium skins and it will come in time

[near gale]

Pronounced "Thin-Gam-aji-ger"

[pliant junco]

good thing i have stam regen

[edgy crow]

I started playing psyker today

And so far even early he's my absolute favorite

Between the classes I've tried (all of them except melee-veteran priest) he's definitely the most fun and let's me feel the most powerful

Until I get caught by a horde

[maiden knoll]

Psyker is my third char leveling after zealot and ogryn. You might feel more powerful, but to me, it's definitely the weakest so far (lvl 29 now).

Less damage and less damage reduction, less health

[edgy crow]

I bought this game like 3 days ago. So long as you avoid the fight on the front lines/stick with your zealot or ogryn buddy you should be fine. Zealots especially like the stagger ability.

[severe leaf]

Don't get fooled by stats, our beloved protects

[edgy crow]

Brain burst is really great because of its ability to do damage even if you're entirely behind cover. Like lock on, move behind a wall, they can't fight back.

It may not be as fast as a hellbore lasgun headshots but that vets also getting shot at.

[teal kite]

not bad?

[supple skiff]

got a lot of hours on psyker, you got to put in a lot of extra work compared to the other classes but its still good

but nothing is going to touch power sword xi las vet

[teal kite]

for sure

[orchid venture]

I wonder what +6 rending even does

Aren't all the others like, 5% rending?

[lethal folio]

What is 6 *5

[steel sluice]

Hair loss causes heretical behaviours pass it on

[ornate hamlet]

Except the ones that are 20% Rending

[leaden dune]

this is pretty shit right

doesnt have warp nexus

also bad perks

[teal kite]

I hate it when you get that combo of perks

[cobalt phoenix]

blessing and perk isn't good but dem stats

[orchid venture]

Normally it wouldn't be too great, but you did roll a 69% on damage, which means it's perfect

[magic hull]

BB works great pn heavy targets

i always use them

[edgy crow]

I love using them on ragers the most, they're enough of a threat to warrant it, always getting closer so I don't accidentally mis-aim the burst, and die in one

Me personally I can't wait till I get a fantastic staff. Don't really care for gun psycher

[pallid estuary]

Bb one shot ragers on damnation?

[cloud heron]

no

[pallid estuary]

So i think its quite bad on ragers

[cloud heron]

Force sword specials is pretty good at killing most melee elites

[pallid estuary]

I prefer just spam purgatorus/surge staff into group of those, perma cc + some dmg, with decent team its quite effective against all melee shit

[long wharf]

they don't die in one BB on heresy+

[magic hull]

BB should have scaled with damage on levels

otherwise there are peob faster ways to kill elite on heresy+

u guys might disagree but thats my opinion

[magic hull]

I love using them on carapace armoured units

[broken quail]

10% BB on hit with a recon las near insta kills ragers, maulers, etc. love having a gun to fall back on, brain burst has its use saving ammo and taking cover while recon las can go wild on shooters.

[magic hull]

it all comes down to playstyle

for me if i use lasgun, it means i mix and match between BB and ammo

to be fair if its fun at the end of the day then just enjoy it

[waxen barn]

any psykerrs tryna run damnation?

[shadow onyx]

its boring as fuck to play, especialy when you must clean the 4572524 shooters and you have a purgatus

because as we all know you face more shooters than damn poxwalkers in this game

[lost river]

You mean if anybody played damnation as psyker in general?

[cloud heron]

I mean, maybe the first one. The other 4 in the group rushing you down aren't going to be too fussed by the first one getting gibbed by kinetic flayer.

[broken quail]

Rapid fire recon las does a good enough job stunning ragers, crit chance + infernos kills carapace quickly too. If no time for anything else I can block since the warp blocking talent makes you into a mini shield ogryn.

[lone fractal]

the psyker soulblaze ult + 6 warp charges is absolutely devastating

[cloud heron]

i dunno, i don't have an infernus recon but have a hard time believing it's enough to make up for how bad the recon is

[long wharf]

BB has good utility

[lone fractal]

4 charges in malice is already enough to kill all poxwalkers and groaners that get caught, but 6 charges will kill those in heresy and everything that isn't special or elite

[long wharf]

getting a free BB once every 15 seconds isn't really anything to write home about, though

[long wharf]

everything that isn't special or elite is just the horde

[lone fractal]

dumb. gunners are not the horde.

[broken quail]

Good utility to keep warp charges when not running soulblaze

[long wharf]

BB really shouldn't do a set damage, it should one-shot any non-boss, but the charge up time should be based on enemy max health

[long wharf]

true, but trying to BB a line of shooters is also dumb.

[long wharf]

I don't even pay attention to warp charges when not running soulblaze, has literally zero effect on how I play

[lone fractal]

wtf are you even talking about

[long wharf]

typo

[broken quail]

The recons seem pretty good to me. The best build I’ve found is the variant with highest ROF (it’s like 16 or something) with dumdum and infernus. Took crit chance for infernus and damage vs flak.

[supple skiff]

https://prnt.sc/ji1TFzY5zoIU

[digital narwhal]

A Veteran Main just tried to tell me that Psyker is the strongest class in the game.

[shadow onyx]

the strongest in t3

[idle bay]

He knows something we don't

[digital narwhal]

He also told me that I shouldn't use Brain Burst vs Shooters, Shotgunners and Gunners and to leave them to him, and to go into the front using Psyker's "insanely powerful weapons".

When I wasn't using Brain Burst, Gunners and Shotgunners were always up.

But the moment he saw that BB indicator, he started shooting them instead of shooting into the horde he was previously shooting at, and then complains about me in chat.

Veterans are a special breed, man.

[shadow onyx]

how we gonna do Going Out With a Bang

[idle bay]

Was he using a revolver?

[digital narwhal]

Infantry Lasgun

He was shooting it into hordes.

Ignoring Elites and Specials.

And would only target them when I started to.

And then got mad at me when I did :)

[mighty pike]

veterans act like they've been brainburst themselves

[idle bay]

Next time you a an asshole talking shit in chat - quote a zealout about hearing some squeaking noises, probably mites

[idle bay]

If they had a brain to begin with

[gilded viper]

I don’t see the appeal of sharpshooter, to little to do, just shoot and shoot some more

[idle bay]

And poke things with a powersword forgetting to turn this thing on

[gilded viper]

Yah people forgetting to power it up and then wondering why people call it the strongest melee in the game lmao

No thoughts in the vet’s mind

[long wharf]

well Hedge did try to warn us that Darktide isn't CoD

he was really trying to save us all from moronic Veteran players

[idle bay]

Some of them are aiming with a keyboard or not tuned gamepad for sure

[supple skiff]

id take the vets over him lol

[cyan notch]

i dont think the need for an instant one shot is warranted. the current bb promotes a more active playstyle by managing peril and target acquisition as opposed to a more passive one where u are just getting one lock and then hide in cover till it dies and repeat for everything

[supple skiff]

my only other char is a vet, having mained psyker put me in the top tenth percentile of vets without a doubt lol

[gilded viper]

I still do that for shooters. Not much else of an option

[cyan notch]

the distinction here is for beefier targets requiring multiple bbs vs one

[gilded viper]

While psyker could use some love.
I wouldn’t call it unusable, like some people scream about.
I run damnation with randoms and clear pretty frequently

[gilded viper]

Force sword special is my go to for melee elites. Does more damage and has a stun

Main reason other than deflect I’m not personally a huge fan of dueling sword

[long wharf]

easy change - make it lose lock if you lose line of sight

[cyan notch]

sure but im just talking about bb here

[gilded viper]

What I meant was BB was just the go to for any situation, but now other options exist and are fairly viable

Psykinetic is less of a BB bot now. You use your whole kit

[cyan notch]

the problem is till malice you could just be a bb bot and people are just expecting it to be like that understandably cuz the game let you do it

[gilded viper]

I can’t really say malice prepared me for heresy or damnation. If people hit their first wall of difficulty and then immediately give up, I’m not sure what to say except.
Take a step back, relax, and get a feel for the other parts of your kit

Damnation can get sweaty for me sometimes, but heresy I wouldn’t even call difficult anymore, it’s pleasant even

[cyan notch]

itd be cool if certain warp charge breakpoints did let you 1 shot dogs/flamers in damnation though

in heresy you can do that

[gilded viper]

Yes let us 1 shot dogs at least

[cyan notch]

idk i think 3 charges one shots flamers and maybe 5? for dogs in heresy is a 1 shot

[gilded viper]

Flamers are annoying but the patented Purgatus Left click stagger does wonders

And surge, if you like the taste of paint. ||The staff is just so boring I’m sorry not sorry.||

[cyan notch]

i dont mind it

different playstyles for different roles

you still have to be fairly aggressive to maximise utility

[safe pendant]

Ragers or maulers. that's how I got it and another person I was helping got it

[gilded viper]

Yah just hurt them a bit before blowing up, or you likely miss one and not get the penace

The worst is still pick n mix

[safe pendant]

That one gave me nightmares. We found a decent map besides Comms Plex to do it on

[gilded viper]

I do the train assassination mission start until 5 gunners show up. Just kept restarting the mission until it happened. Got it done fairly quick too

And now I got goggles. Iz nice

[safe pendant]

I'll get goggles one day. Need about 25 more missions to suffer through

[gilded viper]

My issue was getting a heresy repair to show up. Ended up doing a low intensity damnation repair instead

Took a week to do that. It was awful

[glacial totem]

I did going out with a bang on the comms plex mission - before the first elevator there is an infinite gunner spawn. Run down there and pop on em.

[safe pendant]

Now that you mention it, there's a spawn of 3 ragers at the end of hab dreyko too. it's either 3 ragers or a group of mooks that will always pour out by extraction

Nothing else will spawn so it's probably foolproof provided you get to the end

[near gale]

From the judge's va xD

Should have the guy check his ears for mites

Nope dogs heresy+ are always 2 shot from BB

BB is rly bad and should scale

Or atleast it should be a one shot on anything less than a mauler, two shot everything else

Atleast with current state of game where they like to spawn 5 crushers at a time

Actually, I’m fine with crushers and reapers being 3 shot since they are both meat shields but
bulwarks, maulers, and mutants should be always two shot,
pox hounds, ragers, and flamers should be always one shot

[long wharf]

the way I see it, either a psyker can pop someone's head, or they can't

get rid of the damage

[gilded viper]

I mean, it also staggers (except muttie and dog sometimes) and taking a third or more hp outa an enemy is still pretty useful or even one shot the sniper safely from any distance

I don’t think it not one shotting everyone is bad. Because I really don’t want to just brain burst and do nothing else as psyker and have that be the optimal way to play

[toxic lintel]

Yeah the stagger is annoying inconsistent

[gilded viper]

Mutties just don’t take stagger except for like the last half second of a surge charge. The dogs are weird

Understatement of the year

[lost river]

Stagger in this game is just plain broken atm

[toxic lintel]

Bombers as well

You might be able to stagger or push them who knows

[lost river]

enemies get random complete stagger immunity
Its infuriating honestly
It gets way worse if you set them on fire

[gilded viper]

Now if bombers didn’t stun you outa bb halfway across the map from were the bomb was tossed I’d be less annoyed by them

[mighty pike]

lord help me i know what i must do

[long wharf]

nice, just got a revolver with crucian roulette 3 for my psyker

[mighty pike]

Going to play only knife+revolver psyker from now

[wet belfry]

I doubt the knife is that bad

[supple skiff]

just had a psyker swing at a bulwark with an axe for about 30 seconds while I was pounced next to em lmao

one of the few times BB is good and complete ball drop

[long wharf]

worse, I'm going to really go full in on fsword soulblaze

imagine running slow, having slow passive quell, no deflector, and just swinging at everything, desperately trying to stack soulblaze as fast as possible

[supple skiff]

just as the devs intended

[long wharf]

sure sounds canonical psyker

[mighty pike]

We call this the "last ditch strategy"

[long wharf]

"mad lad"

[safe pendant]

Is there any rhyme or reason to why I'm constantly targeted by dogs in some missions?

[narrow jolt]

They can smell fear

[long wharf]

"bEcAuSe WaRp"

[mighty pike]

Dogs are attracted to weakness

[long wharf]

I swear my psyker must bathe in raw meat, the way the dogs always target her

mutants too

[mighty pike]

They're drawn towards french accents

[safe pendant]

I think my psyker has a french accent. it's why I picked her voice

[split oxide]

i prefer the loner

[safe pendant]

Went to check, I went with Savant

Loner's voice was too high pitched for my liking

[mint brook]

so sometimes i see psykers with the fencing sword and it seems like that's all their doing is meleeing shit

what is that

[long wharf]

it's them pretending they're fighting back the horde

[near gale]

So question: +stamina affects peril block, right?

[long wharf]

yes

and it has a big impact on peril block cost

I used to run 2x health 1x wound curios, now I run 2x health 1x 3x stamina

[slow karma]

Hoowee, I am a trash vet player

[mint brook]

are you transitioning

[slow karma]

Not fully. THe prblem is one - my shitty performance and two - my shitty eyes.

Actually having to aim is kind of out of the question for me

That one's gonna just be left alone until something less precision oriented comes out for the veteran

[mint brook]

plasma gun ya?

its pretty forgiving

[slow karma]

I have to level first before I can use that

and even then I'm not particularly attracted to that weapon

[mint brook]

np

[slow karma]

It's fine, I'll just focus on my psyker and zealot

[long wharf]

yeah, I'm really good at aiming center mass as a vet

not very good at headshots

[slow karma]

I can't even do that much cuz my fps is so generally low

it's also why I don't bother playing past Malice

Just can't operate at that level

[split oxide]

yeah - when horde spawns my FPS drops from 60 to 12.
Enable NVIDA boost if you have that card.
FrameCap to 60 or 30
WorkerThreads to match CORES/CPU

[untold aspen]

reblessing when 😭

[slow karma]

Lmao 60 fps. Must be nice. I hardly break 40 during the calm.

It doesn't dip so sharply but the top end is bad

[wet belfry]

Depending on staff that migth be the only tactical play

Surge staff doesnt deal to much damage to hordes for example.

[split oxide]

Enable NVIDA boost if you have that card.
FrameCap to 60 or 30
WorkerThreads to match CORES/cpu (probably 8 or 6 or 4)

[slow karma]

I have 4 cores. THis computer isn't new.

[wet belfry]

Outside of surge staff tbh i feel like every other staff is pretty good or ok at dealing with hordes.

[slow karma]

I need to upgrade a lot but I'm perpetually broke so I just don't bother.

My gaming habit is not a priority

[split oxide]

4 workerthreads then.
I turn everything off .. bloom, decal, lifetime, ragdoll everything.
It's gotten a lot more stable in lsat 48hrs (some serverside work I suspect)

[slow karma]

Bro, I've done all this, save for the nvidia thing I doubt that'll do much to help but I don't really know if I have the tech

[wet belfry]

What gpu, cpu are you running?

[slow karma]

Dunno of the top of my head. I don't keep this memorize. I just know it's barely entry level for modern gaming

I dont think a chromebook can actually play this game

Streamed from a gaming PC, maybe?

Theoretically possible, but unlikely

shhh quiet! i new tweet has been posted!

lets see if it's super important

praise the emperor it's about a tree we have seen 100 times before!

[slow karma]

Dunno what you're expecting out of the twitter feed

[mint brook]

fun teaser info or update posts as they have done before, have u not seen those?

[slow karma]

Not in long enough to give the twitter feed the time of day.

I'm not gonna sit here paying attention to their socials for any crumbs of info, I have shit to do lel

[mint brook]

like texting here i guess

[slow karma]

This server will serve that purpose for me.

It's a more efficient use of my time at the very least

[long wharf]

probably the best thing you can do for performance is to disable ragdoll stuff

turn down post-processing effects

[mint brook]

too busy to look at twitter but not busy enough to post here, gotta be jussstt right

[long wharf]

like being sick and in bed on your chromebook

[slow karma]

Look, if you must know, Twitter is bad for my mental health

I actively avoid it

I'm not going to hawk over ANYone's twitter feed, let alone some game's

[mint brook]

i don't want to know was just correcting a not correct thing u said

[slow karma]

it was more a general sentiment, not an active statement about the moment

[long wharf]

I was just being cheeky, I avoid Twitter as well

as well as most social media

[near gale]

Is this left surge staff better than the one I have?

It doesn't look like it, honestly

lower quell speed

[shrewd grove]

our pyskers having pure glow in their eyes would be pretty cool

[near gale]

Also I got the god roll on these dueling sword 5 stats, I think...

[long wharf]

you can almost do that if you have the bright blue eyes

[near gale]

For dueling sword 5 do I want to do lights 1 2, block cancel, lights 1 2, block cancel, etc?

[long wharf]

no idea, I use a real melee weapon, the combat axe

[near gale]

Is the push attack on this one, any good?

[long wharf]

and my zealot shanks everything like it's a prison party and the guards are on their way

[long wharf]

the mk V combat axe is best for push attack

[near gale]

What does the mk 2 rashad have for a push attack?

downward strike?

[long wharf]

I don't remember

[near gale]

ngl... I know the charge speed isn't super important on the surge staff, but, this 2.06s charge time on this surge staff looks really nice

the only thing I don't like is the quell speed is 16% lower

[idle bay]

Ugh.... another youtuber made a Revolver Vet guide.. more useless vets in games incoming! 😉

[near gale]

What's a good perk for the surge staff, maniac damage?

Also: does the extra 6% damage and 12% peril resistance do anything compared to kinetic flayer, from the warp battery feat?

On heresy+ difficulty you're more likely to be at max warp charges with psychic communion

[willow hazel]

flak damange 100%

[near gale]

Also: what affects your career skill's regeneration?

I noticed that it comes back faster sometimes, but, I don't know what's causing it.

It seems to be when I am spamming my staff, tho

[willow hazel]

Are you running Psykinetic Aura?

[near gale]

No

I have the 4% chance for warp charges on kill from me or ally in coherency, since getting warp charges and peril resist helps.

I know that the aura would be better for clutching, but, when on higher difficulties the faster 24% peril resist really will help

Ngl, though, that 15% cdr looks SUPER tempting.

[supple skiff]

lol man who runs fatshark's twitter

ffs read the room

[near gale]

Does Psykinetic's Wrath affect the surge staff, much?

I'm tempted to try that with the aura as well

I do chain my career with my zap staff for more uses in a row, a lot.

Psykinetic's Aura does seem useful, I'm just not sure about Psykinetic's Wrath with the surge staff.

Randomly doing 960 damage to a crusher I am meleeing feels good

Does kinetic flayer give warp charges if it kills the enemy?

[edgy crow]

Surge staff is some of the best support in the game, super low peril cost and free stun

Stuns on everything I can test too except maybe the bosses

[safe pendant]

Watching dogs get stunned to death is immensely satisfying

[near gale]

So with 6 warp charges left click bb generates 29% peril and right click generates ~36% peril

With 6% resist per warp charge

With 4 it's 34%(left) and 42%(right)

I didn't know until recently that the left click brain burst caused less peril. :/

[mint brook]

love the surge stuff but had to give it up because i got overran one too many times in pugs

[near gale]

You can safely use a left click brain burst at 84% peril with the 36% peril resist from 6 warp charges

[near gale]

With the dueling sword 4 you can fend off trash

[mint brook]

how does the dueling sword work on hordes, i never tried it before

i thought it was single target or whatever

[near gale]

The 2 and 4 have 3 lights for hordes and the 5 has the light 1 and 2 for hordes

You have to light 1 and 2 then block cancel with the dueling sword 5

The 4's heavies are actually very nice, despite being stabs

The 2's heavies feel like trash. The 5's heavies are downward strikes

[frigid burrow]

Esteemed big brain psykers I beseech you... what did darktide discord mean by this???

[mint brook]

the 3 light attacks for mk 2 and 4 those are cleave?

[near gale]

The 5 having to use more brainpower makes it tougher when shit hits the fan

[mint brook]

aight ill play around with it

[near gale]

Is this left surge staff better than my current one? I know the damage is slightly lower and the charge speed is way lower, but, the quell speed is way higher...

Also: Is this heavy axe worth using? It looks good for a starting axe to learn on my Psyker.

[stray pond]

No, Surgical sucks and not only that, it's a T1 Surgical so it's even worse

It resets on shooting

[slow karma]

Eh, I'll take what I get.

Be glad you can even bother using it

[stray pond]

If the stacks stayed for as long as you were ADS'd then it'd be an alright blessing

Truth be told I'm not gonna bother using it if it doesn't get a good second perk

[jagged badger]

The base stats are unfortunate but the perks are nice

[jagged badger]

Next weapon to sacrifice plasteel to?

My only other options of this type are

[slow karma]

The fuck you mean "unfortunate"? lmao

Those base states are just fine

[edgy crow]

Surge for competent teams, any other staff if you're alone.

Me personally I really dislike the force staff

The uh

[jagged badger]

I have a good Purgatus.

[edgy crow]

The fireball one

[mint brook]

ya that's how i approach it for sure

[jagged badger]

I just want to work myself through the staves

ANd figure them out

[mint brook]

it does shine when ur teammates can kill stuff

[edgy crow]

I did just start today

Don't have all the staffs

[mint brook]

u get the surge staff idea from claysthetics video?

i ended up running a purg staff with the fast brainburst feat on damnation

[mint brook]

that quell speed hearts my heart

[atomic dagger]

not sure to buy it for 2585 weekly rewards dollars

any insights?

[safe pendant]

I would pass on it

[supple skiff]

hard pass

if you're trying to make trauma work you need better stats than that

[safe pendant]

I've got a 380 Trauma but I don't have the heart to try and see what it becomes

[supple skiff]

hope they buff trauma, its interesting

don't know what it would take to make it compete with other options though

[atomic dagger]

thx for the answers 🙂

[young spear]

barrel

[safe pendant]

There needs to be a global condition that spawns 10x the barrels

[young spear]

my entire team would die very quickly

i set off every barrel

[lost river]

I think every barrel should instakill you. I just cant get immersed if I survive an explosion like that. It is very unrealistic

[safe pendant]

I'll agree to that if the explosion turns people into chunks not just a ragdoll

[young spear]

but the ragdoll is so funny :(

[unique geode]

Can purg staff crit?

[lost river]

Ogryn should be able to pick up the barrels and throw them. That would be funny

[young spear]

i would love throwable barrels

the buff ogryn needs

[safe pendant]

Okay yeah ragdoll is better. that clip got me cracking up

[atomic dagger]

its a trauma 🙂

[young spear]

its always the veterans i swear

[unique geode]

I clicked reply on the wrong picture

Sorry

[lost river]

I dont even mind flying back to my people screaming because it is funny, unless I fly off of a ledge and die instantly

[unique geode]

Does crit do anything for that staff?

[young spear]

i think flying off a ledge and dying is funny

or at least when i die its funny

positioning mishap, the fault is entirely mine

[lethal folio]

Crits apply extra stacks.

[lost river]

There are barrels literally everywhere and sometimes behind corners where you cant see them, doesnt feel like the players fault half the time

[slow karma]

Oh good, I was worried you couldn't crit with purge staves

[young spear]

well usually the barrel wont affect you if it doesnt have line of sight of you

i can see where the frustration is though

i understand

[unique geode]

Ok, I was told awhile back that crit didn’t do anything for purg staff, but I didn’t check myself.

[lost river]

sure but you hit it through the wall if you melee

[young spear]

yeah it wont hit you back as long as you dont walk in

[lucid terrace]

You should be able to open the barrel and drink the explodey juice for a temporary buff.

[young spear]

godd gets me

become barrel

[safe pendant]

Barrels line of sight? hitting back? Are barrels heretics now?

[young spear]

yes absolutely

barrels are the most lethal, killing most operatives in a single hit

[safe pendant]

legit, they cause some wipes

[young spear]

they are manifestations of heresy

[lost river]

In vermintide you could mark barrels when they did do nothing
Here you cant and they are everywhere killing people
Barrels are inherently evil

[safe pendant]

They're up there with daemonhosts

[lucid terrace]

It’s worse when the barrels grow legs and they start calling themselves “poxbursters.”

[gilded cloud]

Which one is better as my first Surge staff?

I know ppl say to priortiize damage but the charge rate and quell speed on the first is a LOT better

and its surge...so idk

[young spear]

since its your first it doesnt quite matter too much

i don tnormally run surge but id say warp res so you can spam better

although the difference is quite minute

[gilded cloud]

what does warp res do? Make it so peril accumulates slower?

[young spear]

yes

inspecting the weapon and hovering over warp res will tell you exactly how much i think

[gilded cloud]

ah okay. and does it only affect the staff? It does not affect BB?

[young spear]

it does not affect bb

[lost river]

you can safely brainburst at like 94% peril anyway so it barely matters with that imo

[gilded cloud]

yeah the diff in peril generation is 16.8% vs 16% for the secondary and 5.90% vs 5.50% for the primary

very smol

[young spear]

up to you

you will more than likely replace that staff real soon

[lost river]

Maybe go with the first one then because it charges and quells faster

Otherwise I doubt there would be any noticeable difference at all

[gilded cloud]

yaeh, I saw the quell speed diff. Seemed significant but idk

went with the first

[young spear]

go chew

go zap the heretics

also nice pfp

[safe pendant]

Cats

[twilit flicker]

Fire?

[mighty pike]

worth buying?

[near gale]

Question: Is the left one better than the one I have, for the purgatus staff?

The burn and cloud radius is higher, and I am not sure how important the damage stat is on the purgatus staff

Also: Gotta say... I am not a real fan of the bromentum Antax 5 Combat Axe. It is effective, but, I am just not used to it.

[mighty pike]

why is the antax mv V considered better than the other combat axes?

[mighty pike]

damage as low as possible

[near gale]

The push attack is amazing, for psykers with block peril

[near gale]

So the damage isn't an important stat?

[fierce sinew]

damage is the dump stat

burn is the stat that determines the rate and maximum number of DoT stacks the staff will apply

(where the overwhelming majority of the damage comes from)

staff on the left is an upgrade

[near gale]

Does the purgatus do well with the antox 5 combat axe?

[gilded cloud]

how exactly does the surge secondary attack work? Do you need to move your hand/camera around when you start attacking to aim? Or does it just shock whatever is in front of you at release and you cannot really aim it besides the general direction

[fierce sinew]

probably the best combination available to us if you were forced to choose just 1

[near gale]

It seems to bounce off of targets in a sort of twisted cone

[spice veldt]

It only affects 5 or so targets. Visually, it'll look like it affects more enemies if you move your mouse around, but that's purely aesthetic.

[west stream]

This one worth upgrading?

[gilded cloud]

oh okay then. wow 5 is nothing. thought it would really hit a horde well

[west stream]

Got one with transfer peril but is a bit less ideal stat wise methinks

[near gale]

Is this right staff better than the left one? I heard warp resist and quell speed were the main 2 important stats on the surge, followed by damage I think.

[boreal cave]

transfer peril is best imo

can headshot multiple in one shot and cast for free

[ashen schooner]

You got transfer peril, stats might not be perfect but are more than good enough to use

[rough egret]

Is this what I’m looking for in a purg staff? Modifier priorities: Burn > cloud > quell > warp > damage Perks: ranged damaged and crit chance Blessings: crit chance and uninterruptible (I forget the names)

[fresh reef]

worth?

[gilded cloud]

When it says stacks 5 times for warp flurry... What makes it stack?

[fresh reef]

chained secondary attack

[gilded cloud]

So you can cast 5 consecutive secondary attacks and have it be -8% charge time? And the 6th time it doesn't reduce? Or does it stack on consecutive ones to -40% on the 5th one?

What breaks the chain? Quelling? Primary attack? Time?

[fresh reef]

so first use of secondary: 0%
second use: 8%
sixth use and onward: 40%

[fresh reef]

any action that isn't charging a secondary attack I believe

[gilded cloud]

I see.... But giving the peril it builds up, will one see much of the 40% reduction? I mean it def is nice tho

Speaking of... Do you guys usually fully charge your surge secondaries or just do partials?

[fresh reef]

usually full charge unless I just need the stun

say I get jumped by a group of shooters: uncharged for stun so I can get to cover, then full charge to actually kill em

[gilded cloud]

I see... And if I literally just barely charge it and let go to stun, does it affect the same number of enemies as a full charge? Just a diff in damage?

Is there every a point in using the Laspistol? Seems just pathetic compared to everything else

[lethal folio]

High mobility, decent damage with quick use times. Psykers laspush is powerful.

[gilded cloud]

Powerful in that it pushed a lot back or it actually deals decent damage too?

[fresh reef]

Same amount affected, cap of 5 as usual

I forget what the damage is at min charge but I know it's abysmal lol

[gilded cloud]

Thanks!

[lethal folio]

It's like your active ability but half the range.

and spammable.

[fresh reef]

You sure about half distance? Wrath's range is 30m

[lethal folio]

10 range on laspistol push.

[frigid burrow]

When are we getting empty hand cosmetics so I can shoot lightning from my hands

Yes fatshork I am asking when I can pay for less things to appear on my character

[fierce sinew]

does shred require chaining attacks to build stacks, or does just repeatedly hitting work? With antax push attack for example

[lethal folio]

Ok example of laspush reach.

And like the shout it goes through walls and knocks over specials.

[long wharf]

The icon for shred shows a chain in the blade

I don't recall the exact wording of the blessing, though

[lethal folio]

You can do whatever you want except miss an attack to break shred.

[long wharf]

That's interesting. I'm hoping one of the psyker subclasses will be a pistol focused one

Here's hoping for Gunslinger.

i bet they wanted a cowboy hat too

[wet raven]

what...?

[orchid venture]

does it... really go that far??

[fierce sinew]

it's "on repeated hit." The fact that limbsplitter explicitly refers to chains is what made me hopeful, if it works the way I want it to (stocking crit rate for purg staff while passive quelling) that's very strong

[long wharf]

Repeated hit sounds like chaining to me

But I can check the Lua directly later tonight

[near gale]

How good is this voidstrike staff?

[orchid venture]

it's great. rocket launcher type weapon.

[fierce sinew]

that particular one is pretty medium

[near gale]

I know the ranged crit hit damage is stupid

[orchid venture]

not great at killing elites n such, but fantastic for killing everything else

it's like... hucking a bowling ball at 500 mph down a hallway

[near gale]

I mean... do you want blast radius to be the dump stat, on the voidstrike?

[fierce sinew]

you want to roll the blessing that quells on headshots and have warp res be the dump stat

[orchid venture]

I think... warp resistance would be the best dump stat, especially if you have Transfer Peril

[near gale]

And I have had terrible luck at all making use of it, in any effective way...

If you don't have transfer peril is that staff useable, for learning the staff?

[orchid venture]

yeah it's fine, you dont Need it, but it is nice

That staff almost looks similar to the bolt staff, from a sideways glance... 😦

When you can't see the top of it.

I miss a high damage bolt, from staffs... I can't believe that we don't have one considering the bolt staff has been there since vt1... 😦

Same for the beam staff...

[fierce sinew]

I hope we get a beamstaff eventually

[supple skiff]

any kind of staff thats less aoe focused than void but good at dealing with ranged mobs

want to be a special sniper and general ranged removal but also not be a vet lol

[long wharf]

okay, due to how bullshit the Lua is, each blessing is defined for each weapon

which weapon are you wondering about for shred?

[silk badge]

i hope they make guns more viable on psyker

[noble mason]

i dont. i hate gunkers

[long wharf]

I wouldn't mind a psyker subclass that focuses on pistols, but I don't think psykers should have rifles at all

[robust meteor]

hopium is the pretty much the only thing keeping this discord active

[silk badge]

lol

[long wharf]

it's true

[fierce sinew]

antax

[long wharf]

okay, so Shred on the fsword, says "repeated hits", but the code copies the chained_hits_increases_crit_chance_parent template

same, chained hits increases crit chance

oddly enough, of the three combataxes, one of them doesn't define Shred as an available blessing

[fierce sinew]

unfortunate

[ashen schooner]

well hello there sir melk...

[viral solstice]

i just hadroned a random blue surge and got this

[cyan notch]

so basically malice gaming then

[viral solstice]

i do think hounds should be one shot

they got tiny brains

ez to burst

[long wharf]

reroll that infested perk

[viral solstice]

very true

yea havent rerolled nothin yet

trying to see how it interacts with flurry

[floral solstice]

That staff is fake, everyone knows hadron always puts run n gun on the second blessing slot

[viral solstice]

trooo

i hate surge staff tho all i want is a double shot void staff

i jus wanna be a wizard

[long wharf]

oh wow, I haven't see so few people in the first chat channel category

[gilded cloud]

No, it's much easier in game than real life. Trust me, I know

[stray pond]

Just did a Hunting Grounds on Heresy and god it was not worth it, dogs are so so irritating

[long wharf]

having people that actually pay attention helps

[cyan notch]

its not too bad as psyker only kinda sketchy if 2 leap at you at the same time

[viral solstice]

if u want to be dog immune just stand on a box

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/PYX1v4xBAjW8g/d1337qgFsM9J?invite=cr-MSxwc3UsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[long wharf]

I have a hard time believing that'll work

[viral solstice]

they dont even retarget

their ai just breaks

so on hunting grounds, multiple dogs, stand on nearest box

[long wharf]

of course it works.

[viral solstice]

also works vs bosses depending on box

[long wharf]

classic FartShart

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/Qhx39LyVZouIo/d13373dJaYaM?invite=cr-MSxaVVYsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

i use it a lot

[cyan notch]

ive seen this one

plague ogryn just afk

[viral solstice]

it does not, however, work on mutants very well

so u know, choose a box long enough to dodge on

tho if the dog jumps as ur jumping onto the box they will hit u midair and u will feel silly

[cloud heron]

Wouldn't it be quell speed? You want high resistance so that what you gain is more easily able to be reduced by transfer peril, meaning you need to quell less or not at all

[cloud heron]

This staff also looks great to me. Purge benefits a lot from the psyker's battle meditation

[gilded cloud]

Worth it?

or just wait because I am only level 9 and it is not a rush?

just save up for better weapons later

[cloud heron]

i would just stick with what you have at that level

[gilded cloud]

Thanks

[cloud heron]

until you get to level 30 you don't really need to worry about numbers too much

[gilded cloud]

gotcha. thanks!

[maiden wolf]

9% burn

Considering buying it for the memes

[opal skiff]

I love random brain bursts

[ornate hamlet]

What just happened?

[near gale]

I think I got a pretty solid upgrade, from my previous purgatus staff... the left one is my old one, the right one is my new one.

Also: My meme build on my curio perks was for nothing... 3 15% chance of curios instead of a weapon, and I got a gun for my emperor's blessing...

😦

[ornate hamlet]

Congrats brother

[heavy zealot]

45% < 100%

[opal skiff]

You know the feat that randomly brain bursts a target? That triggered at the last possible second to save me from getting nom-nommed

[ornate hamlet]

Nice

[clear heath]

Ok so i tried recon lasgun gun psyker

pretty terrible but it's neat

[near gale]

Is this left staff an upgrade, from my current one? I feel like it both is and isn't...

[ornate hamlet]

I heard the chainsword is pretty good

[ornate hamlet]

Yup, albeit slower

[near gale]

It's slower?

[ornate hamlet]

Unless I've misunderstood the quell speed

[near gale]

Oh, okay

That's what I was guessing you meant, but, I wasn't sure

[ornate hamlet]

Othar than that, it's an upgrade

The blessing is easier to use and more useful, unless you are going for crits

[cyan notch]

id use the right one

[ornate hamlet]

And the perk seems to be more valuable

[cyan notch]

left one pretty mid

[clear heath]

man gun psyker is so op

they should nerf psyker again

[cyan notch]

quell speed good

which recon is the best

[clear heath]

I have no idea

[ornate hamlet]

So that's why obi wan don't uses guns

[near gale]

Probably the 6d, since the 7a doesn't actually do more damage per shot

[orchid venture]

oh, yeah, it's pretty ok, but I got a better purge staff already lol

[near gale]

cause of a higher rate of fire

[clear heath]

I'm using this one just because it's the only one i have with infernus

Pretty much reaches max burn stacks instantly

[orchid venture]

i like having higher quell speed because I like using Quietude

[near gale]

Also shoots like... 16 and 2/3rds shots per second <.<

[rough egret]

is this any good from the limited time shop?

[near gale]

rip toughness regen speed

[cloud heron]

No

[orchid venture]

toughness regen perks are bugged right now

[rough egret]

😦

[cloud heron]

You can also pick up wounds from the normal shop just fine

[orchid venture]

once they're un-bugged, it'll be decent

[rough egret]

yeah i'm thinking maybe i should pick it up for the future then idk

[clear heath]

imo recon lasgun is pretty terrible
but psyker is probably one of the better users of it
can just BB for carapace and bulwark shields

[orchid venture]

if you like it, then get it

[clear heath]

this shit eats hundreds of ammo in seconds

[cloud heron]

You're essentially just saving the 400 plasteel upgrading any random curio from the normal shop would cost

[long wharf]

nobody is better with the recon lasgun than the veteran

because the best use of it is to apply burn stacks via Infernus

in my opinion, the recon lasgun should be a veteran specific gun

[rough egret]

if using quiettude do i even care about stamina on a curious?

[clear heath]

It applies all the burn stacks it needs in less than a second anyways

[long wharf]

yes

you want at least a +2 stamina, granted it only gives you 1 right now, but that'll be fixed down the road

[lethal folio]

Vld with stripped down for zooms

[clear heath]

Recon fires 16 times a second
You'll hit burn cap in barely any time

[rough egret]

ok

[long wharf]

only when you crit do you apply burn

not weak spots

[clear heath]

It crits often

[long wharf]

vet has a higher base crit rate

and the simple fact is vet uses the recon lasgun the best of all classes

[lethal folio]

Well it's between vet and psyker.

[clear heath]

It'll crit and reach max stacks well before you're done dealing with the enemy anyways

critting enough is a non-issue

[long wharf]

I don't think you're critting with the psyker as often as you think you are

+1 burn stack per crit?

or is it 2

[lethal folio]

Unless you are abusing shred.

[clear heath]

It caps at 6 stacks
you're reaching cap anyways

[long wharf]

trying to abuse shred to proc infernus is ... suboptimal to say the least

[clear heath]

Even without shred, this thing crits very often

I do happen to have a crit perk on it already tho

just came with it

[clear heath]

Jokes aside, not being able to do this is reason enough for me to not use recon on vet
Lack of enemy coverage is just a pain

[long wharf]

jokes on you, hitting his shield with crits will still burn him

making BB moot

[split oxide]

Has anyone found it easy to "Flawless Execute" (2) as a Psyker?
They're so fragile: the AI + CamoExperts can really fk you up sometimes.

[long wharf]

is that where you take no health damage?

because that's super easy to cheese

[split oxide]

10 mission without being 'downed'

[long wharf]

oh that one

I've gotten close several times

I'm at 9/10

[split oxide]

me too

[long wharf]

there's a third to get to 15

frankly, I don't really care about it

[split oxide]

Sometimes it's your team(camo-experts).
Sometimes it's the AI.
I don't think it's possible as psyker.

[gilded cloud]

Isn't there a penance for no damage at all? Seems crazy...

[cyan notch]

no health damage yea

[split oxide]

No HEALTH damage(toughness is still okay)

[gilded cloud]

Ah ok. Does corruption count as damage taken?

Like if you get caught in the mist of the eyeball thing after it dies

[cyan notch]

yea probably

[cyan notch]

this ones not too bad its just malice after all

[split oxide]

10x .. how long will your luck hold out with the teams & AI rng?
It gets spicey at game 4
It wants to #### you by game 8.

[cyan notch]

what downs you tho

just play safer

only thing u gotta worry about is barrels

[split oxide]

• barrels
• solo teammates
• leeroyjenkins'
• camo-experts
• grimoire hunters

[cyan notch]

if you really want to have a better time just get a premade

though i did mine in quickplay

[split oxide]

quickplay .. I've taken over bots with 2x wounds down.
Will that break things?

[orchid venture]

OUGH HOT DAMN

[cyan notch]

no idea but i dont think so

[orchid venture]

first 380 i've ever gotten

and it's an Antax Mk V Combat Axe

no blessings on it yet, it's green. so... pray for me

[cyan notch]

no

[rare furnace]

Gl

Hope you get brutal

[cyan notch]

i hope you get riposte

and headtaker idk

[split oxide]

as a psyker too?

[maiden wolf]

Helk yeah brother

[cyan notch]

yea i only have 1 character

[maiden wolf]

I got untiuchable today actually!

[orchid venture]

hmm... Headtaker for the first blessing

i mean, headtaker isn't bad

[split oxide]

untouchable should be fine..
It's the Flawless that keeps screwing me..
Thanks.. I'll go back to trying quickplay..

[cyan notch]

all or nothing tier 2 next

[orchid venture]

we'll see, but I need.... 1200 plasteel to do that

[maiden wolf]

Got a 380 medium headhunter today with the headhunter blessing, I have 2 bonus damage on crit headshot headhunters I can combine for the tier 4 perk. Its gonna be wicked.

*blessing

[cyan notch]

just get a premade if youre having so much trouble in quickplay

[split oxide]

by premade - you mean lfg right?

[cyan notch]

yes

[cloud heron]

idk about a psyker but i got this when levelling my ogryn pretty easily

[clear heath]

What
have you even tried the weapon?

[long wharf]

I have an infernus recon lasgun on my vet

... I could have sworn it worked, maybe they patched it?

[wheat quartz]

knife can still lacerate bleed through the shield head on

[long wharf]

you can make bulwarks bleed through their shield

[clear heath]

Yeah bleed still works

inferus does not tho

[long wharf]

well TIL then

[viral solstice]

zealot bleed on crit doesnt work either. to be crit u cant be blockin it

lacerate bleeds on generic non-crit hit

[long wharf]

100% works

[viral solstice]

no, lacerate works

[long wharf]

oh, you said bleed on crit

yeah, that makes sense

[wheat quartz]

the feat, or fleshtearer?

or both

[viral solstice]

feat
