It doesn't have enough burn for max stacks anyway
My psyker's gun collection is so much better than my veteran's. Drives me absolutely insane
It also happens to be a fair bit better than my current one ... So its still painful to be shown something that is mechanically impossible to acquire.
Shop is a cruel mistress. It took me ~250 hours to get a good purge staff
time well spent
Gotta love it. Load into a fresh Heresy run, Veteren demands "Are you an idiot?!" and then proceeds to AFK 100 meters behind the team on every horde.
When it says "repeated" weak spot hits, would that essentially mean it would be pretty useless if im mainly one-shotting dregs and stuff? only really proc versus tougher targets? So it would have a lot less of a benefit than I'd imagine it.
pretty sweet sword to find via hadron tho
whatcha reckon folks
it's good, could be better
honestly not sure how exorcist works on force sword but peril isn't usually a concern for it
well like, id usually swap to melee when im maxed out on peril on the spot
so lowering my peril via that blessing would be a really nice bonus
would shorten the time to get back on the staff, without having to manually quell
kinda off setting one of the main drawbacks of using force sword usually
well then the unarmored perk is probably a synergy for that then
im just a little confused about how that exorcist blessing kinda works, if it needs repeated weak spot hits on the same enemy, or if i can kinda headshot-instakill one dreg after another and it procs each time, would be very useful then. Yet I already have some really nice force words and ideally I'd like to save up my currency for the possibility it might be useful when enhanced crafting eventually arrives
with the force sword u will only hit kill the 1 enemy hit, cause he receives the full attack the rest doesn't and thats when the exorcist activates as long as u hit the guy weakspot and then hit only in the weakspots non stop it will proc, the problem with "repeat" attacks condition for this particular weapon is that the 2 hit in the light attack combo is a armpit attack it will 99% of the time hit the armpit of the enemy unless u drag ur mouse to the upper right while doing the combo but that impractical cause motion, it does work there was once a time i cleared like 60% perril in 2 secs while hitting a cluster of enemies using the heavy attack
i just wish they change the 2 hit in the light attack combo to be a horizontal left to right attack so that i can hit heads
I dont think there's a time limit on the buff from Shred so that's at least marginally better than Limbsplitter + Headtaker lol
I feel like Limbsplitter isnt what you want on a Mk. 2, though?
I honestly dont have that much experience with it beyond trying it out in a couple games at mid level and not liking it much
limbsplitter makes garbage any weapons
its like anti midas
everything that it touch transform into shit
It's what a Psyker looks for on the Mk. 5 CAxe
but yeah trying it out again, the push attack on the Mk. 2 is garbage
Knocks enemies around but doesnt do much damage
You have to keep hitting the heads, it doesn't need to be against the same enemy. The first head hit does nothing, but each subsequent one will quell the amount listed instantly. Make a swing that misses a head and you need to start over. Works better with the heavy chain but can also proc here and there if spamming lights.
Only Mk V axe has decent damage on the push attack
Lol, Got a Slab Shield Ogryn in that last run ... Entered a room full of shooters, Gunners and Reapers and planted shield ...
He didn't move while we were dancing around killing stuff so i eventually decided to just stand inside his hitbox and ended up being immune to ranged fire while being able to blast BBs and Purgatus freely XD
firebreathing ogryn strikes terror in the hearts of heretics everywhere
The Ogryn and staff combo is strong
Ogryn Psykers
based
Which of these two Surge Staffs should I gold?
quell speed is really good
Both the perks on the top one are bad
So the 440 one then?
I think so
yes
RIP
I wanna die
Top blessing is still what you want, though
Who knows, maybe they'll fix Warp Flurry to work on more than just Voidstrike
Well its supposed to make charging sequential attacks with RMB faster
but it works by applying a short, stacking buff, which is too short for the Surge Staff's casting animation
bruh
Least useless non-Warp-Nexus Surge blessing combo
So, I'm a Psyker main but was playing my Ogryn to level him up, we had a Psyker in the team that went through half a Malice mission without ever using the secondary fire on his trauma staff. I used the shield to set up a horde for him to blast, and he just cast bolts into it
I told him to use alt fire and he admitted to never using the secondary modes on weapons before, but he did and was seeming to enjoy it
Fast forward to whole party is downed as a big wave of Ogryns hit us and newbs scattered too far apart. I managed to drop most of them with my stubber but had a Bulwark I couldn't drop before the mag emptied, and it takes ages to take out a Bulwark with your own slab shield. I managed to get distance and rez that Psyker, cause his trauma will be able to take that bulwark with ease and we can rally.... He lets himself get cornered and only uses bolts again
Just met my favourite kind of Zealot (they becoming more rare with players base dwindling) - he kept ignoring all the medkits deployed and kept dying dying and dying.. sometimes few meters from deployed medkit 🙂 Classic!
Sounds like a t4 game
Gotta love that
Shield should be capable of dropping a Bulwark easily, assuming you have the bleeding heavy attacks.
Chained heavies will prevent it from doing anything of value and the bleed will stack fast and kill it.
No no.. he failed that badly on Malice 🙂
Unlocked that the mission after
Your post implied ytou were using a Slab Shield, my bad then XD
Ah.
That's lvl 25 iirc
No, its the second row IIRC
Blood and Thunder. Second row lol
You're correct, I usually have the grenade box one
Ehhh. I know some people like it. But Blood and Thunder is amazing for dealing with heavies like the Crushers, Bulwarks and Maulers/Ragers.
Pairing it with Bloodthirst at level 20 and Best Form of Defence at 5 makes you practically impossible to kill, especially if youre using slab on top to block bullets
How to complete this? Any advice I should do?
Mostly having a team on comms.
Just a matter of lucking into a good spawn with some of the weaker elites, get the team to help beat them down and control them and when you feel they're low enough for Perils piddling damage to actually take them out, trigger it
I daresay theres a guide on YT somewhere that can show you how to cheese it
Comms plex. The interrogation room with elevator will always spawn at least 3 shotgunners and gunners
Doing it on Malice, aside from less spawns, should be pretty easy?
Also means you need to kill them by overloading your peril meter then exploding but you probably know that
I've not done it because I refuse to do penances I have to go out of my way to do that make no sense.

Why does the explosion do like no damage
when you're at 100% peril you need to do something like shoot a bolt from your staff to activate the explosion
run in to a lot of people that didn't know that
it's very easy if you have a shield ogie to assist
I did it on the Hab Dreyki mission. Just being an Ogryn with slab through til extraction and kill all hordes, there's a door spawn that will periodically spawn a set of ragers, let them aggro on Ogryn and lightly damage them so the blast kills them
Guys, is this worth buying despite de dmg and quell? Melk's
Makes sense, yeah. Thanks
Damage on purge is basically only for stagger, though.
And quell speed can be played around.
It depends on how much you value Melk coins and what you have already imo.
Point is, I already have a purgatus 380, but anointed, I don't want to spoil it
Show us the staff!
Also if Purge works like Flamer then the burn threshold is 76% for maximum stacks
So its just barely below that.
It was mostly because the tier 3 blessings. And since the dmg is not as huge as burn and cloud I thought It may have been useful to have it, just in case. But yeah, this one I already have is far superior in terms of modifiers
I think the crit blessing is nice, purge still does double burn stacks, right?
If you want to bet on blessing transfer that could be an option
I think so, I guess? Not sure at 100% I'm just a zealot pretending to be mind burster I'm afraid...
Same
. /highknives
Purgatus is the closest to my beloved flamer, so I stick to it. It is not as powerful as the flamer tho
We are the force, we just need the knife 🙂
Will try trauma staff, it may be fun. Not sure if good enough, but I think it'll be interesting.
Trauma staff will make you get better at movement tech and peril juggling for sure
Sounds good. I've experienced the peril is kind of tricky compared to purgatus

self inflicted trauma
There was almost identical staff on vermintide but this one feels worse in everyway somehow
The targeting system on the Conflagration staff was more intuitive, was more efficient in terms of cast cost, and also did more damage IIRC
Targetting templates are mostly the same. Conflag had a more accurate template and dot to bring up the minimum damage.
I like purgatus ability to be horribly wasteful because it has functionally infinite ammo
I can't do that on my zealots flamer
I can frivolously dump a full charge of purgatus on two poxwalkers if I feel like it
Yeah, the fact that things take almost no damage at the outer ring of the explosion at the cost of 40+% of peril with trauma just makes me scratch my head
If I do that on zealot I feel like I'm wasting scarce resources, which I am
Purgatus and void strike single handedly holding down narrow choke points is always nice
Yeah you're not meant to flamer into small hordes
Don't let zealots see this, they'll start convulsing and repeating something about "discount flamer"
Or purg getting like a line of elite frags because of horde body blocking is nice too
Purgatus is a discount flamer 
The upside is you get infinite ammo so you can keep spamming it

I’m a zealot too and it is a discount flamour

Except higher DOT and unlimited dot stacks opposed to max 16 burn on flamer
It does less DoT
That's
What
Explain

Purgatus doesn't have unlimited DoT stacks y'know that right
max is 15 at 80%
Crits currently apply two stacks of soulblaze and warp nexus makes crits super common. Soulblaze stacks dont have a cap and while purgatus is capped at 21 (maybe, dont remember) soulblaze stacks, if you add some more from other psyker or your ult you can melt anything
It is capped at 32 stacks, but your purgatus has a different cap.
The same as flamer
Burn is also capped at 32
But burn does damage every 0.5s while soulblaze every 0.75s
And crit also applies to stacks on Flamer
But sadly it doesn't have crit stacking
Souldblaze itself does not have a cap, only staff does though
plus your warp charges make already applied soulblaze do more damage
How do you know this. The steam guide with hidden features says it has the same cap as burn.
And even in that case that's only relevant with Ascendant Blaze and several purge Psykers.
The first is good and the second doesn't feel great.
Point that to me please, I havent seen this.
It might actually
Not be in this one
One sec
I know the guide, I mean the part where they mention soulblaze
This was the guide
It seems to work as they say it does overall and I've found no evidence to the contrary so far.
Okay
well, even in this case, applying 31 stack is simple with burn ult and warp syphon
and that amounts to over 200 damage a second
Easy? 
Yep
I'm pretty sure Ascendent Blaze applies 1 stack per warp charge
Which means with a max staff you get 15+6
He is assuming you also have lots of adds to kill and that all the soul blaze stacks from the feat will all stack on whichever target he is going for
It also does one or two base stacks on top and don't forget that your warp charges make soulblaze do more damage
Well Zealot can make their flamer DoTs do +25% damage passively
In the long run this plus having no ammo constraints and quicker deployment time makes purgatus better in my eyes
Main benefit for purg I feel is also ability to control mid range gunners
Also it seems that crits add 2 extra stacks from what I can see
Immediately suppressed a lot of them at once without fear of running out of ammo
I'd rather have a flamer zealot and a surge psyker than a purgatus psyker and whatever other ranged the zealot could bring
Yes, and warp nexus blessing makes you crit all the time
surge psyker is kinda frustrating to play for me in random join in damnation
If other players cracked it’s amazing but like
The flamer and purge both just
Ye.
Kills things anyway
TBH at this point people learned the game enough that you don't need to run surge in damnation if you've a somewhat competent team
But the crit boost is definitely nice on bigger targets
Surge staff is nice, but overrated generally
Some people act like it's the only viable option which couldnt be further from the truth
I still find purg/ void generally being more effective
I'd just rather have an Mg12 than Void
Surge is cursed. Whenever I pull it out, I get teams that can't kill anything, so I have to stare at some twitching dreg shooter as he slowly dies from my anemic warp lightning.
Purge only for me.
Me when surge and squad is lacking a crucial role
Hahahaha
I feel like regardless of what staff I take
Someone else is always taking that role

Surge feels so good against armoured targets, I feel straight up like a god killing them in 1.5 seconds
dregs though are another story
So
The Surge staff
Probably has a cleave value 
It does such weird damage depending on what targets you're hitting.
Full damage on first target, half on the next ones
I currently run a shred dueling sword and a warp nexus purge staff with +5 crit and maniac damage, was thinking of rolling the crit off into flak damage but if it's +2 stacks per crit instead of +1 I might not
it will try to hit what you're aiming at but it wont always do that
Next one* it does barely anything after the third target.
Yeah it seems to do the damage it should
It just looks so funky because of armor types
It will destroy any armour but struggle otherwise
if you walk into a room of scabs though, carnage will happen lol
Its Unyielding damage is so sad
quickswap and melee
thats the strength it has
I think if you bring surge, you really should bring a killy melee weapon like Antax 5 or a chainsword or something along those lines
Otherwise killing takes too long
You've enough time to charge a forcesword and hit too, using it all the time
Damage values dont lie, surge is gabage against infested and unarmored
Which is a shame since thats such a large percentage of enemies
but when you get scabs it does tear shit up
sad the most annoying shooters are unamoured because of that huge 400 hp pool + immun suppress + near immune stagger + desert camo + almost no meta weapons have bonus vs unarmoured
Its meant to be, flesh doesn't conduct electricity as well as armour
garbage vs half foes then

Dont forget the fact their arms will soak all the damage regardless of your weapon being able to penetrate and hit the body 🥴
bulwark can stop plasma with shield so i guess its ok

Only half? Feels like a lot more than that, tbh.
Negative, stun locking dreg shooters and getting them out of cover while veteran snipes them is still very useful
well..basicaly half foes are flak/maniac and the other half is unarmoured
human sized foes *
imagine depending of a mate to be efficient

another proof that psyker need a buff
Gotta go to Vermintide for that, darktide is made to be a much more team oriented game
solo clutching is nowhere as easy
well zealot and vets are self relient
psyker are just low tier
you need the team to set up around you
its a legit baby sitted career
You really don't, though
Just cuz one full meta veteran build can do everything doesn't mean the rest are self reliant
The stun on surge meakes it good enough to fill a controller role very efficiently, just dont be the guy who spams it during hordes of poxwalkers and groaners
you play surge = you are basicaly a stunlock machine with barely no dps beside flak/carapace and you suck vs hordes
you play purge = you deal ez with hordes/mixed but have litteraly no tools against shooters spam beside bb hide and seek boring
Surge plus a limb splitter antax is fantastic
I bring AB just to deal with shooter gunline rooms out of purge range
Correct, add kinetic deflector on that and you're unkillable
Yep
Gun Psyker is the ultimate swiss knife
You just need to get creative with your builds
Mk. 5 CAxe definitely fills the gap when using Surge staff
meanwhile vets shred shooters in a sec while you are coping with quell and lifetime charg bb , have power sword with infinite cleave
meanwhile zealots can just F on melee vs 30 shooters then lock them into melee and chop chop + flamer
I invite you to kill 5 ragers as one veteran, and then try doing the same as an axe + surge psyker
i dont think you realize how much effort for so little result pysker is in his actual state, playing vet or zealot is just day/night difference
I don't think you've ever played psyker with a good weapon loadout
sure psykker is playable and ok in damnation, you can even duo damnation, but it doesnt mean its fine
i play plasma so i kill 3 ragers in a single bullet
Brain burst can use some sort of a buff and a rework to make warp charges fun. Aside from that psyker is perfectly normal
Biggest drawback to psyker is needing specific melee weapon rolls to be effective imo
Psyker is definitely more gear-dependent than other classes, which is annoying
It can be a pain to get those rolls since there is no crafting
Melee weapons aside from a select few are pretty meh without blessings.
This is an issue on Zealot as well
But once you have topped out gear you're honestly one of the better classes to have in a party tbh
I think Psyker is the best at being flexible, but it doesn't have as good specializations as the other classes.
yeah its a damn placeholder career
jack of all trade good at nothing
It doesn’t dominate at a particular role outside of surge stunning
But it brings Jack of all trade regardless what u do which is ok
ok at everything
Deflector + kinetic deflection makes Psyker the tankiest rescuer in the game, outshining even the ogryn
true
Ogryn shield 
An unlimited ammo flamer is an unlimited ammo flamer, too
Can't block bullets while ressing.
but need to have good perks + build around deflector
Unlimited 80% of a flamer 
Well. Yeah, can't have everything.
uh oh looks like zealot and psyker chat is starting to merge
as long as no one fights kek
When purg flamer roulette strikes and you brain pop rows of elites is happy feeling
Because Psyker is fun 
even back to beta when pysker had a far easier bb, something was wrong in his core design
People say this but it has a 15s cooldown doesn't it?
I've never seen multi brain pops actually happen.
Does it?
With the amount of CC that every psyker weapon has built into most of their class-specific weapons, it's hard to say that they're outshined in every way by other weapons. People just undervalue those things in general.
Most staffs can stagger enemies + deal a pretty good amount of damage, more than the Ogryn can, certainly
Maybe im just noticing pops here n there
But honestly hard to tell in swarm situations
People talk a lot of shit about ogryns usefulness, too, though
The CD seems to work in Psyk
Yeah again people dont really take into account how valuable control can be
But it is short enough you probably just notice that
Ogryns are good but they require a lot more than other classes imo.
Low ammo, huge hitboxes which suffer in hordes.
But they have massive CC options and can stunlock hordes easily
15s cooldown and it's probably going to hit some random groaner.
Blocking your allies shots IS pretty annoying. Not that psyker cares, though
stagger is broken like suppress, if you make fly a guy by bumping him, if he take a shit stagger , then is go straight standing because of ludicrous stagger system is in this game ( and vt2
All it's good for is keeping warp charge ticking.
Flayer is mostly useful for maintaining stacks
Thats what I use it for on my voidstrike build
Surge actually gets better usage out of it due to a hard cap of 6 targets hit
Randomly
It needs a buff
So we can see the CD
Watch Speaking of and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Literally turned around and did the double headpop
I've definitely noticed it helping against Ogryns too but the warp charge gain on hordes is nice
I wish the devs would get over this goofy crafting system and just let us reroll stuff
Next week™️
Making us collect weapons with perks and then removing them to put on another weapon just sounds stupid, lol
It's extra steps just to inflate grind
they coping hard to retain player base knowing they are committing 90 % of their team on console version, every way to add more grind is good to apply
To be fair, you cant grind out for something thats completely random
Well, by grind I guess I mean logging in every hour
I maybe might go back and farm out some more mats in case I find a good staff in the store or something
to me the most cancer rng thing is the locked perk thing
But everything I can grind for will go to waste if I lose at the Armoury slot machines
The game just feels so unrewarding
😏
Yeah seeing two stacks of warp charge is funny, shame you cant switch your perks Feats out in game to benefit from ten stacks 😛

your service for the emperor is its own reward.
No.
Fatsark so nerd about 40 k they try do make the game in 10k years like primaris
so much devotion
dont do it
Oh yeah, after you win at the armory slot machines then you play Hadron's slot machines
and can still lose
Epic lewt
380 antax axe
dont worry theyre addressing our feedback we just have to wait till next week
get limsplitter
Perfectly good trauma, ruined by transfer peril
spam lmb blast 
More like next month TBH
any date that isnt today is next week in fatsharks calender
and in 2 more months Melk will have another high stat weapon that maybe might roll good perks and blessings, to make up for the limbsplitter TacAxe I got yesterday
soon
Fair
Watch More force swords and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Not the smoothest for quick play
But I liked setting this up
With FSword you can spam to 100% peril and then quell to 99% and recast btw
Its kind of crazy
with wp and peril resist you can spam secondary without quell i think
you ""just""" need a good rolled FS

quelling only a micro sec makes you down to 95-97 %
you could say the same for bb
Not the same way
Watch Force Sword and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
If you flick fast enough you can charge again before the percentage points even tick down on the UI, I couldnt say whether thats simply a matter of UI display differentiating from the actual game values or not. However you can cast the FSword's special above 97%
As you can see in my clip 
You can just hold the heavy for a bit
And it will be consistent
Also one of the few scenarios where I might consider Exorcist worthwhile tbh
Although I think Id rarely be spamming the special that hard
If you look at the left hand
When it turns while you charge a heavy
You can always immediately special


I was annoyed when Hadron put Exorcist on a rating 37something T4 Deflector force sword
It's not as bad as a limb splitter blessing but it's like
y no shred
or executor
or slaughterer
All I want for Valentine's Day is Bloodthirster on FS
Adequate™️
get rnged
@idle bay got my psyker to 30, what are the ideal (psyker) weapons one would want to have?
Pick the staff type you like the most and perform well with and go from there.
Unless you're a Gun Psyker heretic
Nah, I dont wanna use guns on it
So far the lightning staff and the energy ball staff are fun.
No clue as to the blessings though
As for melee
I think Duelling mkIV is most useful, even if MKV's heavy attacks are more intuitive to me
As for Force Sword...
I have one with t2 deflector but its base rating is butt
My voidstrike is still in pins I think if you want to have a look at it, for Surge go for Warp Nexus blessing + crit perks, or maybe flak
- Antox MK V axe with Brutal Momentum
- Force Sword with Deflector
- Surge staff with just good stats (Blessing do shit for this staff, save for Run and Gun if you master LMB spam headshotting).
- Purgatus staf with maxxed out BURN and CLOUD stats and crit stacking bleesing
Huh. Ok. You uh, not a fan of the duelling sword?
After you take that axe into your hand - swords will fade from your memory forever
It's VS anything axe. Even vs Horde with that blessing
@feral topaz Here it is #psyker-class message
ty, looks great.
Also best part about that axe is how maniacally Psyker laughs when he kills with it 🙂
Huh
well
the voice pack I picked already maniaclly laughs on the regular
sigh, dang it
finding another mkV Bromentum axe
The dueling sword is fine with purgatus
Also look and joke of the stats i have on my axe. Still good vs Horde
Because purgatus delete horde, and the dueling sword is wonderful for killing a few dudes in a corridor fight
Dueling sword is alright as an option, but you lose the aggressive and defensive horde clear that Antax Mk. 5 Axe offers. The main advantage of using a duelling sword is extra mobility, especially on the mk. 5
Although in the Mk. 5 DS's case you lose more horde clear compared to the mk. 2 or 4
You'll need the horde clear
I thought that
Yeah that's why I specify with purgatus, because that thing out clears all melee weapons
MKIV has some horde clear because it has cleave damage, whereas MKV is single target?
Different attack pattern too
Yeah, V has two top down execution strikes, IV has pokey poke
I used both but IV just seemed more useful in oh shit situations
The point of V is really high damage strike down heavies that are also very fast, and insane range dodgeslides
Brutal momentum fucks physisc with single target axe. You chop i haed - few enemies dicks fall off on the ground as well
oh Im aware, I have such an axe on zealot
Which makes hordes vanish
hmmmm
aight so
shopping list
1.MKV Axe 2.Top stat surge 3. Top stat Voidstrike 4.Top stat purgatus 5.MKV/IV swords for funsies
aight, now its just the waiting game
And if you really really want to hurt yourself emotionally - get yourself a Trauma staff 🙂
...Ha
I keep trying to like the rapiers but they just don't put out.
I spend money on stupid stuff after I got the important stuff
Antacid V and FS for me.
for the purgatus staff, should I look for high damage or high burn stat?
Don't forget Force Sword with Deflector !
76+ burn
And Cloud
Damage is completely and utterly useless
Oh, and I guess I should try to find FS with deflector that isnt 250 baseline
I found one with 81% burn but 37% damage
That's fine
The damage is so low. Burn is the most important.
Damage only affects the actual tick damage of the staff
Which is tickle damage, it matters not at all
I was told on Purgatus that cloud and burn are king, and damage is dumpstat, is it true?
Yes
cool cool
Most stats are pretty useless on most things. You only need the three that matter so at least we have that going for us -_-
That is the best part -force sword is so garbage for killing anything without Special attack that it's stats could be 0% and you will not see any difference. Just baseline trash stats with Deflector will do. Perks are important though +1 Stamina and Block Efficiency
...gimme a minute to check
damage isn't really a dumpstat if you care about your dps against bosses and some other high hp enemies
The damage stat is bad but attack speed makes a difference.
so the one I found with 37% damage 80% burn 71% cloud 80% warp and 64% quell is pretty decent?
Yes
@cyan notch did i just play with you lol
what blessings shoud I be looking for for a purgatus staff?
so far I have terrifying barrage
nexus, focused channeling, terrifying barrage is ok
20% damage maniacs and 20% damage unarmoured
oh wtf yea with the yolo vet
lmfao
zealot cosplay
also i was using surge feats and failed to change before timer kek
shouldve just said i can surge
2 times i ressed him he just afked
get crit
chance
when i was trying to rescue you guys with the ogryn i told him to look out for the poxburster
then it blew up behind me
lol
here
crit chance is a perk?
ranged crit chance yes
okay
at least maniacs covers ragers i guess
try asking others too
i've been a surge spammer for weeks
i just started learning the in's and out's of purg myself this week
this is mine atm
@floral solstice added you if you wanna play sometime
yea np
Never keep unarmored basically
looks decent cappi
yeah so ill replace that for crit chance?
Should be solid 
its my first lvl 30 staff so pretty decent haha
Yeah it's very good
rolls run n gun
More like run n fun
dont worry theyll let us reroll both perks in the Crafting Rework Next Week™️
its next week?

It's a meme.
ah okay haha
its next week in fatshark timezone which basically means anytime from tomorrow to 2077
what is nexus?
it says max 4% but also stacks 5 times?
Warp Nexus - Crit bonus blessing that stacks with increasing peril
so 20% max? or still 4% max?
20%
WAT
when does it stack exactly?
At a threshold of 97%
I didnt bookmark the different tiers but the second to last one is bugged and also ticks at 97%
Ill see if I can find them later, probably going to bed soon lol
4% per stack, up to max 5 stacks, 5x4 = 20%
The Fatshark special
i thought max % meant the highest crit chance you get is what's written
Ah, I see what you mean
its weird yeah since it says max 4%
Fatshark All or Nothing.
lmao

how do you build stacks of it?
It just says
it doesn't seem to say?
+critical chance
It's max %... per stack, which is a stupid way to word it
so does it stack ever 20% peril or smthing?
Almost nonsensical
guess their intern or janitor wrote the bless/feat descriptions
or is it on a timer
yeah I think its a localization issue
The peril stacks are weird iirc
Yeah, as mentioned the last two stacks both trigger at 97% right now
Swedes all have mandatory English 
weird lol
I hope ill get that
otherwise ill just have to wait until the crafting update
im asian and i bet my english is better than their staff jk
have fun waiting for next (?) week!
next week, the darktide equivalent of the end-game, random and refreshes every set interval
wouldnt be surprised at this point
Shared inventory only 29.99
I thought it was mentioned that any patches coming next week would be hotfixes?
More like coldfixes
or make them worse

yeah hotfixes is pretty much the only thing im expecting next week
coldfixes
Im ded
I'm here all week, bby
The only big thing coming next week™️ is a community update so we finally know what's coming in the future
or you know, the TH buffs they promised last patch
-added a strobe light effect to all Psyker abilities so that non-Surge staff users don't miss out on last month's fun
hahaha
i actually stopped playing psyker until they fixed that
my head was already hurting from videos of it that i've seen
It was the ultimate immersion. Surge staff users got to experience Perils of the Warp IRL
You're going to get run n gun
what does that do?
Basically nothing 🙂
"Tapping into my Epilepsy"
useless shit
You can sprint with Left click staff attacks, wew
hmmmm yes
hm... i should buy this shouldn't i
I wonder if the reason Run 'n' Gun doesnt affect movement speed with most staff RMBs is because the game considers it ADSing
All blessings are useful in the hands of the emperor's people.
imagine at least getting bonus movespeed with run n gun
Unless it on Surge and you master LMB headshots. Then it's OP
The Emperor Himself couldnt find a use for some of these blessings TBH
they are a curse from Tzeentch
All secondary actions are basically not hipfire. Sounds correct
trying to gauge people's opinion's on whether I should I buy and upgrade this staff. The stats overall seem good but the burn and radius both being lower does kinda make me feel like its a worse option
Also running a soulblaze build if that matters
agreed
Damage vs elites or specialists, what to reroll?
I'd say Elites
which enemies are classified as maniacs?
chargers and trappers
maniac is an armor type I think, not actually an enemy classification
Oh derp lol
maybe it's both, since nothing is consistent in this game
Elites are enemies that are already pre-spawned iirc.
I thought he said Mutants
Specialists spawn with sound cues.
And snipers
Basically all the units around sniper in Psykarnum are specialists.
idk since I have a staff with 20% damage to maniacs
Specialist kills go SWUMP and Elite kills go SWOOP
ooh never noticed that
ooo nice
What gets me is that since Dreg Ragers are Maniac, I can't one-shot them with the Force Sword like I can with Scab Ragers
No armor best armor. 'hit'
breast of nurgle
The type also varies depending on where u strike for select enemies
Which is why you want +25 flak on purge 🫡
last version. Had also cut off a column in this last one
What helm cosmetic is that?
It's the grey hood you buy from the Armoury
Assassination targets also count as monstrosities.
I can't wait to put inspiring barrage on the orange one when blessings can be farmed.
Autopistol go brrrrr
also gonna put crit chance on it once I refill my plasteel stocks
Kinda wack that I can't buy colour changes to the Heresy penance gear
Doh! Need going out with a bang before I can get that I think? I have the others done 😒
No, you just need the first hood
just got this up from white and am appalled 
I'd personally go for Maniac but Flak is also great
Stamina helps with kinetic deflection blocking
Yeh but no Deflector
so if we ever get crafting and you put deflector on it
Stamina gives you better block
Oh wait I forgot that Stamina is like Block Efficiency but better for the Kinetic Deflection
im looking at the blessings
wuts dump stat for surge staff
Charge
Charge Rate
I'm pretty proud of this one so far even still
Okay I got Lifeleech 4 and just found out there's a fifth tier, what class should I try to 100% now
Cause right now I'm
man, those mission count penances go hard
100% the mission type penances, you only need 500 each
Is Flawless Execution that I don't go down five times, or the whole team?
just you
do dogs and trappers count as downs for those?
i don't think so
They shouldn't
I got mine as an ogryn without particularly trying for it
apparently falling off a ledge counts as going down
What about trapper net?
Oh it was just asked I am blind
Excuse my sillyness
which mission is good to try do penance on edge?
which one is that?
i think throw down a cliff x enemies with the psyker explosion
to kill 7 enemies by pushing them down into abyss
vigil station with the espionage objective
That one is so random - been trying to get it now that I switched to Steam.
at the finale when you're guarding the one interrogator in the center, you can knock them off of the bridge they have to cross to get to you
chasm logi with the littel bridge to the left at the start
chill and wait for a horde then lure them on push em off
the vigil station finale is, imo, the best place for it. You can do it organically and have multiple chances
I did mine on vigil as well. Just get yourself next to the horde on the bridge, use your ult, then keep block pushing until the penance pops up
Just not with matchmaking 🙂
You totally can get it in matchmaking
like you can probably just ask, but it's also pretty easy to just have the situation happen
may take you a few shots if get a flamer zealot or something though
ive did all my penance without any cheese beside monster with 90% bb
for psy
since they nerfed the amount required tyo push them away
its far easier
Still stuck at 6/7. There's always some bullshit going on. 🤷
Just did the espionage one - Mobs just somehow stuck on the ledge. I hate it 😄
do you have force sword?
try to spam block push ( not the mega push ) and stay at the edge
not on the lenght
I have a force sword and bad luck I guess
chainsword very nice
True yeh
I got the T4 Warp Flurry but that's okay, Peril Transfer with Re-Blessing soon 
really this game has still potato servers
I don't think it's the servers. I've been playing through GeForce Now's Ultimate service and the game runs flawlessly on their systems
Geforce Now server farm probably neighbours/cohouses with Amazon server farms, tbh
Which would explain it being better if it's not actually the servers, but the netcode/packetloss/something else messing things up very badly.
I agree, it used to be heresy and higher from my experience, but now hordes on malice have been causing some really terrible unregistered hits and input lag
very nice
I will pray for you sibling
Oh my... what i rolled from blue axe 🙂
I lubricated Hadron with a bucket of WD-40 to roll that
so, why didn't you roll block efficiency off
Not exactly. Some weapon perks scale with peril level. And there is a feat in the 2nd tier that does so
I've put aside my Force Sword and embraced the Duelling Sword as the better of the two.
Just feels better.
Got a decent-ish one.
Just gotta replace Crit Chance with Flak me thinks.
Okay, next question:
what is warp charge?
It explains when you hover over the Iconic
You get a warp charge when you brain burst an enemy from the start. As you level you'll get access to feats that help you generate them
And it gives a 3% damage bonus per stack, 4 max stacks at first
I honestly wouldn't put too much emphasis worrying about them
at some point do I get things that make the brain burst go faster?
The final tier of feats does have a thing for that
ah, I see
Brain burst can be strong if you use it well. Easiest to think of it as a long range sniper option in your back pocket
Ive seen psykers who are good at charging it when they anticipate a need for it, but it can leave you very vulnerable in close quarters when charging
It's great for bursting enemies at range because most of our staves have limited range
And I'm guessing the staves are secondary weapons? meaning no staff and autogun
This is the way. Plus, once you lock on to an enemy, you don’t need to keep line of sight. It is definitely the hard counter to snipers.
anyone have any tips on getting Cliffhanger achievement? Or just pray?
I've learned and seen this.
much easier than getting rid of them as a vet
if you can private with someone
just go to chasm logistratum
clear bridge
get to horde
go back to bridge, on the left side there's a narrow passageway you can stand on then shove everyone off when they are together
for example
That 3% damage boost always confused me. It’s so little, and takes so much effort to keep it at four just for an extra 12%… Why bother?
yep, warp charges are best thought of as a passive buff that you don't think about
I find that the knock back is like really short
with the sole exception of when you run Ascendant Blaze
I have to basically be standing on the edge to get them to fall
use force sword shove to assist
Other perk was Sprint Efficiency , and i'm actually using Block Efficiency in the build
or laser pistol one I guess
oof, ouch
mmmk
I understand people may do, for sword shove, press F, more force sword

this may help

Thanks!
worth upgrading to legendary?
imo yes
ty 🙂 will be my first legendary
good move, now try axe
once you try axe, you never go back(s)
yeah, the heavy swing is great for big targets
the push attack is great for groups/horde
that's on damnation btw
The axes absolutely destroy Unyielding
and it's a MK 2 not even the best axe archtype
and it didn't have +25 damage to unyielding on it, i added it later
using a fsword feels weak, honestly, in comparison
you don't a satisfying thunk when you swing the fsword
But Sword.
The F-Sword is sexy though.
i'm just not a fan of force sword
the best argument for it is the ability to revive allies while peril blocking
Phew.... weekly 25/25 missions and 25/25 scriptures completed on 2 characters. I can rest now 🙂
it's block push is aoe, but the range was nerfed so it's block push isn't actually really any better than other melee wep block push
and it's DPS is awful unless you're using special attack, which causes peril and frankly just isn't synergistic with most staff builds imo as axe is
Which sword would you argue in favour of?
the key to finding the rigth build for you is finding a synergy between ranged/melee weapon options that enables you the right amount of CC/DPS that you think is most effective for your playstyle
for me, that's purg staff with axe
purg staff is amazing for aoe dps, axe is amazing for single target dps
I'd go for one on left but that's my take.
and they both apply a nice amount of stagger
I use the force sword to infinitely dash out of danger while quelling, outside of that, I use the special to one shot some specials and help with other big targets, basically I just use it to maneuver, most of the stuff I get done with the Purgatus
i'm no duelling sword enthusiast, but.. the left one is significantly better statwise i believe
you should probably reroll a perk tho
Well yeah
But a weapon with 1 good base Perk is worth the pick-up
Hence I was curious
343 base stat total is a decent roll, and having lower "defenses" and lower "penetration" are probably the least important stats of the 5 stats on that wep, so imo it's a pretty good roll
I should see if I can grab a Duelling Sword with Rampage so I can rip off the Blessing and slap it onto one of these swords
what is the consensus on stamina vs block efficiency for deflector sword? which is better?
Shred + Rampage would put in a lot of work I think
assuming there's probably diminishing returns, probably a mix
i vaguely remember someone mentioning stamina still matters when peril blocking
ok. i saw a link on the forum of someone saying that block efficiency increased their peril gain which seemed counter intuitive
Isn't Block Efficiency a bit borked with Deflector?
Or am I mistaken?
so i wasn't sure if this is fixed or not
Well we haven't gotten anything
so don't count on it
haha true
Stamina and block efficiency together make for fantastic blocking with normal melee. You hit 80% peril then blocking starts draining stamina which regens fast and gives your peril time to autoquell
It feeds into itself while also restoring toughness via quitetude
Peril Block goes to 97, no?
Or was it Kinetic Flayer that works below 97?
Pretty sure it starts draining stamina at 80
peril block works up to 90% peril
I think it’s 90 something, I know for a fact it never blows you up so got that at least
the cost for blocking gets reduced by your maximum stamina
That explains a lot.
Gonna get a lot of Psykers with Deflector holding block like Shield Ogryns when +3 stamina curios are fixed
I want to try to be a shield Ogryn in Damnation someday
I just like having a good chunk of stam and Regen for push attacking with antax. KD and block efficiency all play into it very well
How does Block Efficiency work exactly? Like the math behind it even if I’m bad at math.
you want at least one max stamina curio and block efficiency on all curios

Does the Antax MK V have a dump stat or stat priority? ty!
My antax rolled with 12 mobility but 75%+ in all other stats. Still has 4 dodges... So meh
the way peril cost for blocking is calculated is that a normal block cost is calculated
then that value is divided by your max stamina and then multiplied by the built-in warp_charge_efficiency_multiplier value
Has t4 limbsplitter and the +power on heavy attack charge up. Works fantastically well
I've been messing around with a gift trauma staff on t4. Although the stats are great and the effects looks cool, secondary fire is a tactical nightmare. To paraphrase what others have said, trauma staff sucks.
Cleave targets is the dump stat
orly?
if the stat screen is accurate cleave targets does actual nothing
IE the only swing you cleave with (push attack) isn't there
Cleave Targets does help but you want Brutal Momentum on axes anyway.
And Antax cleave targets is kinda low so its not a big deal.
could be a description issue, because you can plainly see when your push attack stops cleaving
I have a meme ax with 30 cleave target and no BM and push attack still works 
You mean the peril resist?
nope, peril resist is actually not involved in the calculation
it should be a final modifier, but it's not
Show it then ya nerd
ahh
So just having more charges let’s you block more?
Its the one with only one mission of its type after all.
if I remember when I'm playing tonight I will
upping your max stamina is important
The push attack could just have a different cleave modifier tbf
Sometimes the game just
Does do that
also true
Imagine if we could get the damage chart on push attacks
thing is, your max stamina changes depending on the weapon you're wielding
the push attack being in its own category that follows its own rules is basically what I assume at this point
the mkv caxe has +3 stamina
Warp charge efficiency multiplier is just a weird name, it's not based on your warp charges. Peril used to be called warp charge
Antax with limb splitter is fantastic if you can't find a good one with brutal momentum, too
I don't think any stat on anything mentions them but they obviously scale with something
yeah, just like soulblaze is called warpfire in code
Say that in Zealot chat and get beat up 
So it is peril resist? Or what exactly is the efficiency part?
why not both?
Amen
It's just a static value, you can ignore it
Is decimator any good?
The typical Zealot meme axes are Limbsplitter + Decimator 
Ahhh, ok.
Though I do like mine with the 45% power on heavy attack charge. Total of 65% power bonus on an overhead swing
The large chainsword? Better asking in Zealot but I think it’s pretty good personally.
so the answer to the question of "should I be stacking max stamina for peril blocking" is "depends on how much stamina you already have"
It bops big guys nicely
I think different mods are multiplicative so it should be more.
On the antax
Time for 3 stamina curios
if you have 5 bars of stamina, adding 1 is a 20% increase in effective blocking
I've seen it hit for like 1500 in the training room
Ah
that's the eviscerator
Oops.
oh huh peril block lets u block crusher overheads
das funny
u get stam broken
but?
Psykers mind is more dense than an Ogryn.
Also I’m pretty sure the overhead stamina breaks regardless.
ye i mean its an error in how its coded
One of the few errors I like.
Crusher is meant to be slow but hit hard, ya gotta have something resembling decent dodge to dodge him, blocking is just a last resort.
Yeah.
I'm literally looking at it right now
Yall, i need help.
this game is darksided.
my mom has been dead for years and yet...
she was in game just this afternoon

mom? sorry. mom? sorry
