And 0 cleave
To 31 stacks
meat grinder
Crusher?
pretty easy in the grinder with 5-2 and crusher
yes
Coolio, will double check tomorrow and add it to the Atheneum with attribution to you
ascendant blaze is a little weird when it adds or refreshes it does less damage at 31 stacks than kinetic overload (ticks for 28dmg at max stacks compared to 31dmg for overload)
and if u get to 31 stacks with overload then use AB it will overwrite the overload's 31 damage with its own weaker 28 damage
That's weird
are you sure you weren't getting power from your staff or something
my staff has unarmoured and crit chance and melee has crit chance and stam
its quite strange u can test and see for yourselves
Make sure to unselect all feats that aren't required for the build
Just in case something is fucky
@cyan notch based on the formula 27.5 should be the predicted 31 stack damage for soulblaze on crusher, which should show 28 in meat grinder
Otherwise š¤·āāļø
but you get +10 elite damage
That is including 10 elite
kinetic overload stacking gets to 31 damage at 31 stacks
Did you have warp charges?
probably warp charges yes
thats probably it actually
Now we just need a weapon that applies Brittleness and we can burn everything
ok problem solved
With 31 stacks and 4 warp charges formula says 30.8 damage per tick against a crusher so that would show as 31
yea then when i cast blaze it goes away
Yup
now this is quite a sheesher
Can't get much more damage out than that
Fingers crossed for the blessings
im not upgrading anything till fs nerfs costs or finishes crafting
if i dont upgrade it cant be ruined
Is pick n mix penance broken? I definitely got 5 in a row in under 12s but it hasnt updated

I am rolling in an effort to find a Bloodthirsty FS
next week both perks locked

oof
you basically have 0% chance getting it from a blue
so you have to do all the way to purple
You sure?
and then gamble it from purple to orange
I have seen images from purples with it
i am not sure but it sure as hell seems like it that you only ever get t2 max from blues
yea those spawn with it like melk or emp gifts
0.00001% during crafting
I am not going to freaking roll all those blues to purples oranges lol
Fatshark special
Best perks for this?
exactly the cost is way too exorbitant for the time u spend collecting mats
Transfer Peril 3% or better is all you need.
i'd rather doubling the price of changing perk and not have one locked than this shitty locked perk stuff
It wouldn't be as bad if the shop was not filled with 300 to 330 stuff
they said meaningful choices with strategy behind them (aka pray u get lucky with rng from melk or emp gifts which are capped btw)
The shop should roll with +/- 10 from your highest obtained in each slot (melee, ranged, curio)
I really would like to know how the hell the posts like these ended up in the features we got
randomisation and repetitive action is literally what happens when rerolling at hadron/checking melk/checking shop/hoping u get lucky with emp gifts
absolutely bizarre
straight up 180 lie

"We didn't want to release the crafting system before it was finished so that our players would be satisfied with it."
How frequent are those even? Haven't gotten one in forever...
imagine doing that kind of lies in other jobs :

fuck shotgunners
that is all
true
20 per week but resets when melk resets
they're snipers with a dead quiet telegraph that can delete you even harder
winning a run is reward enough for me
it's like a gambling addiction with how bad my pugs usually are
at least dont be so fuckin stingy that you cap emp gifts to 20 per week
Isn't it good that the game saved you
From a fall you could've easily lived
20? Really? I played like 15 missions already this week (after contracts reset) and I have not gotten one at all. Is there a trigger?
i dont think so you must be pretty unlucky

Might be a bug, besides the cap/softcap, saw some reports
Might fix itself next week...
<cough>hopium!
On a side note how do you actually hear anything like hounds and mutants?
i was counting the gifts i got last week and the week before that and it was about 20 then nothing for days till reset then it dropped like candy right on cue
Your audio thing for the psyker at 96 peril is really really high.
Is that a thing???
If so thatās BS
absolutely multiple people have reported the same thing
Thatās trash WTF
either that or the diminishing returns after 20 is so high that you basically get nothing
Yeah letās get more people to play while our player base is already fuming by capping the rng normally already trash gifts from our 30 minutes runs š¤”
if you keep track youll notice after weekly reset youll get a bunch then itll abruptly stop for days until the next weekly reset
Iāll definitely be keeping track now
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zkb71e/i_recorded_the_outcomes_of_my_last_90_missions/
this post was what made me track and get similar results
Is it possible to get Transfer Peril on Purge staff. It is listed on darkmass, but has anyone actually seen it? I know they're inaccurate on other blessing possibilities.
Isnt that one Voidstrike/Trauma
probably fake since purg cant even hit weakspots but in the 0.000001% chance its real nobody has seen it yet
Then again I don't use Darkmass
Nor do I know if the gameslantern one is anymore accurate or not
Yeah, thank you, Emprah.
Yeah, i know.
Which blessings are considered bis for purge?
The crit chance one
Side effect: Inflict PTSD to enemies and they cower in fear
Problem is, this is my 3rd 375+ staff and it's 3rd trauma
warp nexus then idk flurry or focused channelling
Theyāre so shook at the cajones needed to run Trauma the enemies just run š¤£
I guess with my playstyle I'd prefer terrifying barrage
With nexus
Focused channeling I feel is just failure to position/dodge. While flurry is nice. I don't find myself charging purgatus multiple times enough to reap the benefits
cloud radius already supresses enemies so its kinda not that useful
I sometimes charge multiple times durin heavy waves on 4
you can't really dodge melee while holding the staff
You can if you time it correctly
if you go in the meat grinder and blast beside some adds youll see them cowering already
Too early or late and you get hit
My staff has crit and barrage. I donāt notice barrage that much but I donāt try to play around it that well tbh š¬
but dodging doesn't stop tracking when you are wielding a ranged weapon. Anyway, it is definitely more useful than the other options
I would just prefer bigger AoE of it I should say
I only dodge slide
sit there and tank the hit and hope essence harvest covers your ass
Ew
In my experience. Rarely anyone dodges well while holding ranged weapons
Then again people also just swap to melee and dodge/attack real quick
Laughs in pub
Nothing can save some pubs
not with that attitude
I only need a team when I'm downed
I use my ears how do you mean?

Sounds are clipping in this game
And they're louder for the one currently targeted
But hounds often suddenly swap targets
I've never noticed that
good to keep in mind
It's not confirmed but it definitely seems that way
Could be copium
But a few people agree
I've had muties run past me almost silently but sometimes hear them across the map when they're coming for me
could just be the l4d2 talking, but I can always hear specials
sometimes though, they just don't make noise
for no discernible reason
except snipers when they spawn
unless youre really near them then you can hear them walking
Or the poxbursters you hear right away but take years to reach you lol
Unless they decide to just exit the doorway your in front of with no warning andā¦RIP š¬
suicide by longlas to the back of the head
so sad
christmas, just a week away
oh wow, it got here so fast
The game actually clips audio
If there's too much sound going on
This is actually a bug and you can easily replicate it
voidstrike moment
They don't make sounds if you're in certain areas
100% of the time you can't hear them in one part of the Repair mission
Unless you move from the room the door is in
You can move back and forth and the sound cuts
I have 480 force sword with deflection and maximum +25 block. But it has poor quell should I upgrade? Or try for a new one
It is? I thought force swords didn't get it
But also nah, you could just have a staff with quell speed if you want it
Sometimes it does sum times it doesnāt
Can you post a screenshot of this FS
Not at the moment Iām at school š
theres only +20% block and theres no quell on fs
Plus if it's a 480, it should be orange already
It has a 4 square on block
I thought that was 25 but it may be 20
And itās a blessing that quells on weak spot hit
But itās only 2% not 5
Yes
I donāt know what to get on it tbh other then stamina but my curios give me a ton of block efficiency already so I donāt need it
flak maniac
MANIAC good idea
Another question bc Iām new here
I have great perks on my surge staff but my quell speed is do shit 50%. I have the warp flurry and itās purple should I make it yellow
constantly 100-97 peril, cant hear shit

I rarely don't hear specials. Snipers (obviously) and the occasional flamer doesn't make their click until they seem to be fully spawned in.
dog too
I think I always hear dogs? I'll have to pay attention, but I don't think I've ever seen someone jumped by a dog I hadn't already heard.
you can hear snipers running around
I hear one bark just as it lunges
That's maybe true. I'll pay special attention to dog spawns, but yeah the howl can sound kinda similar to horde "roar".
Is a lasgun build viable? What feats do people pick?
lasgun builds? Go veteran
lots of jerks like to shit on it but just be aware you don't have great cc
columnus works better imho
or use an MK IV with headpop feat
tickle guns with high rof proc it better
Whatās a tickle gun?
VId lasgun
braced auto is okay but I like the columnus the most, recoil takes management tho
take a claw or maybe a duelling sword
If you're taking a gun I would use force sword.
I just use BB for hard targets, dueling works well if you get them nekkid ragers.
It is. You want to have FS or Combat Axe for melee. Feats are really flexible since there is not a lot going for guns.
You can do the basic BB build - 132133 or you can do the AB nade build - 131112.
MG IV has more mobility and better ammo economy with greater fire rate but lesser punch per bullet. MG1a has constant damage for infested and unarmoured regardless of range. MG XII has inverse scaling and does more damage at further ranges, it's the only one capable of one shotting ranged heads at damnation.
On damnation you pretty much need an infantry lasgun, the others won't have the ammo sustain that is needed.
Gun Psyker is slightly less fun than LARPing as Palpatine.
but if you read some guys in general, it cant be devs fault, only bad corporate who told devs to put useless barrel everywhere that jump you from miles and do shit against foes
Everyone's got opinions, I have a blast
Werenāt people in general also asking whoās dick theyād have to suck to get an update and fawning about a devās armpits?
I'd rather have a convo with them in a dark alley
At least in the dark alley you can cover up the evidence.

thank you!
I am the Senate.
Perchance.
If Im the senate then I demand my ability to corkscrew spin twirl jump thirty feet
I think a gun psyker build can work if you have a fast firing gun that is basically gonna give you range and BBs. But it just feels bad. Iām assuming there will be a psyker class that has an emphasis on guns in the future (read: 2057) but right now the purge and surge staffs are so useful that itās a shame to not take them
There is no point in trying to pick a fast fire rate gun just for kinetic flayer. Kinetic flayer is nothing more than a stack generation / upkeep feat. The internal cool down is too large to make a build around it.
More pew pew, more chance for BB. Less pew pew, less chance for BB. Is my point
If I would have to rate psyker builds, they would be:
- Purge & Surge
- Void & Crucian Knife BB
- Gun Psyker
- Trauma
Yes but 15 seconds internal cd makes it irrelevant. More pew pew doesn't matter when your weapon says click click because it ran out of ammo. That's my point.
They should either make Void a copy of the Plasma Gun with equal damage instead of literally half, or they should make the area of effect more significant.
A faster firing rate means youāre going to get that BB in 15-20 seconds instead of a lower rate of fire/lower reload speed weapon giving you a bb every 25-30 seconds and potentially stopping your stacks. Iām not saying run around all game wasting ammo, of course you have to worry about the CD lol
Right now Void is a very fun Malice weapon, but in Heresy/Damnation it suffers too much from being a DPS focused weapon with no DPS.
Gun psyker feels like copium
That single BB doesn't do enough when you are facing 5 Ragers, 2 crushers 3 bulwarks 2 gunners and 2 tox flamers. It doesn't matter if you pop it now or in 5 seconds, it's not significant enough DPS to make a build around just that.
I think the point of gun psyker wouldnt be to optimize the DPS, but to increase the odds of having it proc on the enemy you want
Hence you treat kinetic flayer just as a better and more reliable psychic communion
instead of on a random poxbabby stumbling into range of your surge and getting insta disintegrated into a fine mist instead of having it proc on the crusher youre actually targeting
That 5 seconds could be the difference between you getting fucked by all those elites or killing one. But ok. Lol
If you are hanging by one random BB proc, the problem is somewhere else mate š
Yea I mean youāre gonna have potatoes firing into hordes but I think you could do it well
I have to agree with the guy that making a build around a 10% proc chance seems kinda silly though
Becasue it is
Got a Psyker build guide here. I run tests and video comparisons. I also discovered that radius on the purgatus staff is actually range:
then again that seems to go for most Psyker feats for some reason. Real Casino Class in a Casino game
Cloud radius increases range and radius
I donāt know why yāall think I want to place the whole build around that one feat I didnāt say that
Just pointed out the advantage of having a faster firing gun for that.
You were arguing for faster fire rate guns (auto / recon) but they don't simply have the ammo economy to be played as a proper gun psyker at damnation
The point of a gun psycher is to grief the veterans on your team by taking all the ammo
Truuuu
I put two clips and overlaid them and saw no difference, but range I did
If the argument to be made is, "Faster firing gun means you get that BB proc off." You would want to use your staves over actual guns every time.
YUH OF COURSE
So its not really an advantage then to have a faster firing gun if you are better off taking the staff.
whatever the name of that shop-guy is, he's probably in on the scheme. Handing us all the veterans hand-me-downs
I have played a round of damnation without picking any ammo using MG IV infantry lasgun. As long as you have a vet in your team and BB those elites and specials whenever you can, you get a lot ammo back on it.
People were talkin specifically about gun psykers. Thatās what I was talking about.
Obviously staffs arenāt an equation in that convo
I believe the radius is for supression
Yeah and my point is, why? Gun pysker is stupid beyond words considering your staff also benifits from damage boosts to warp attacks.
This is why sometimes you see a vet with another melee other than a power sword lol
Yeah imo do what makes you have fun, but most of the time Iāve encountered a gun psycher in game itās been suboptimal and actively made the game less fun for their team mates
It is sub optimal
If you want to shoot guns, play a vet. Itās not that hard to level one up
If you wanna play optimal you play Purge or Surge and that's the only thing you gonna play
At least with the vet you can make the argument for using other weapons if you have the right perks is the thing though.
Like i have a chain sword and ignores enemy mass, and does 170% Cleave damage on hitting multiple enemies for 3 seconds, its jsut a better power sword so.
Itās like playing a ranged ogryn. Can you do it? Sure. But⦠why?
For fun.
Shovel more satisfying
For memes
Ye might as well meme before the game dies
I mean sure for fun, but, hell i can use the plasma for fun but does not mean its a good idea thats for damn sure.
Lol fair enough I guess. I just hope I donāt end up in a PUG with people running memebuilds
My greatest meme was completing a high intensity damnation with an FS and a revolver. I got carried quite hard by an ogryn. I basically cosplayed his shoe.
Memebuilds are for low-difficulty runs where youāre just farming scriptures/grims for Melk
If youāre still struggling so much you NEED the most optimal build then, idk.
Ooh shiit, better hide my trauma staff
Is your name Vengeance on your psyker?
I mean if they dont offer us a way to meaningfully progress in the game? Its going to be that. Because even if xyz is the optimal staff you are left to RNG that you get it, terrible RNG at that too.
No it's Pygex
Ok. Iāve carried this useless fucking revolver psyker through 3 damnations and I want to go to his house and treat his mom to a steak dinner because of it.
Here is the only situation where trauma actually excels. Trash jumping down from a platform causes them all to go within each others:
(Difficulty was damnation)
lol the gunpsyker discussions are still afoot all these days later
I'd fight with a shoe if the emperor gave me some
I just don't get it why they took the shotgun away
The emperor wouldn't give me all these +500 guns and shitty staves if he didn't want me to use the guns
Right?
RNG sucks, but it doesnāt require having absolutely optimal stat rolls & blessings in order to have a staff that works fine on all difficulties.
At this point I have about 55 hours played on my psycher and I have two decent Purg staffs and one great one, plus a decent surge staff. And I donāt do the browser extention to check the shop or anything like that.
not that the shotguns are any good honestly
On the other hand, this is a good counterargument š¤£
It doesn't matter if it's any good. I just want to look good and meme the shit out of the game
I pretty much only use purge/FS and dueling sword and surge
also tbf if you wanna play guns then you might as well run a vet because there is nothing that benefits you from using guns as psyker
Is the level 30 talent on faster bb good?
Lol your RNG sucks? Well I just used up all of mine on this shit yesterday
2 380s
Iām 28 rn
You gotta try the knife mate. The push attack spam is real.
ascendant blaze for a purgatus build, kinetic barrage for anything else
And they are devil's claws 
I got a decent one but
I like using class specific weapons
And quicken for trauma staff build but don't use trauma unless you know what you are asking for
I got no good purgatous flame stuff
Yet
quicken kinda sucks imo
I got a 380 base purge staff itās pretty great
as does the trauma staff
With that 80 BURN BABY
why wind up for 10 seconds to stun when you can wind up to kill
How many does the elector stuff hit
Hereās what Iām running. Itās not maxed out or perfect, but itās just fine
Flame stuff hits everyone I think
i missed such a good purgatus bevause i didnāt grind the game enough lol and then it rotated out of requisitions
Warp res is the dump stat on purge staffs and I wonāt negotiate that
does the blessing which allows you to hipfire while sprinting roll on staves?
Trauma with 312331 is relatively good with quicken.
never liked it personally
maybe thatās because i dropped it as soon as i got another staff lol
Yes but LMB only and you have to sprint first then you can fire. Decent on Purgatus, irrelevant on anything else.
but i am not a fan of the way it plays
plus void staff
i wish there was another force sword mk because the attack pattern is so so
it just looks cool which is why i use it sometimes
anyone else have a 380 roll gray youāre afraid to upgrade?
but honestly deflector is overrated you ideally shouldnāt be getting shot at anyway
It would be great it there were other Force Weapon types
yeah
Deflector is based
a force greatsword or some shit which is two handed
Yup. Need a horizontal one. Preferably a 2 hander.
i just want a greatsword in this game
Iāve found it situationally very usefully to close the distance against gunners when Iām running purg.
Deflector is based because when the shitter vet on your team gets downed 9 times to pox walkers then you donāt have to get shot by all the gunners they arenāt killing
to be honest horizontal attacks on heavy kinda suck most of the time, i prefer the CC attacks to be the light ones
Thereās a few particular maps where deflector shines imo; and other maps less so
just because the windup usually gets me hit
the good thing about deflector is the bonus to block efficiency + the fact the force sword has a 360 degree push and unlimited dodges
so itās like a budget ogryn shield
Heavy overhead on FS Is the best. Headshot charge attacks
but honestly in the time it takes you to block ranged units you could just build to 70% peril and be basically invulnerable
Not gonna lie, charging the force sword while sliding always makes me feel badass
the animations are cool but it kinda sucks for defending yourself
psykers should generally have good CC weapons because your single target is the BB
A Force Glaive that would be a homologue to the Power Sword would be neat
i personally run a mk 2 duelling sword with a flame staff, youād be surprised how good the duelling sword block is
The psyker already have the rapiĆØre, maybe the most powerfull mele weapon in the game...
Deflector FS is also good for when youāre loading into a ongoing game and you have no idea what is happening, to avoid being instantly downed because they are in the middle of an overpull
i think the duelling sword is more of a sabre as opposed to a rapier
More of an ƩpƩe since it stabs and slashes
I like the dueling sword. I love roleplaying a blender.
true
it has surprisingly good crowd control considering it uses the assassin attack patterns
Your right it's more a sabre but rapiĆØre sound cooler š
What are the best blessings for the dueling sword?
shred or whatever one grants you damage on hit i forgor
or the one that i creases your cleave that oneās alright too

Wanna learn how to asset rip characters, textures and audio from Vermintide 2, too? I wrote down my workflow in this Steam guide (also includes a link to the audio file rip from 2018):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2208764780
this one is okay-
i've actually got a concept for that ready to go
I think having a Force Glaive which is meant to act like the Power Sword, and a Force Greatsword which combines big sweeps of this hypothetical Force Glaive, with the single target special of the Force Sword, would be a happy medium
You requested a Psyker my lord
wtb bolt and coruscation staffs
Behold.
Any way i can justify using this on my psyker?
Did ... you take this picture on your phone?
Good rolls, not a huge fan of accatrans without the base ammo bonus from vet , and sustained fire is pants
I have adhd I'm not cropping a screenshot to brag
Still searching for my chainsword hubby to complete the set, mama needs her cleave stacks
Which dueling sword is considered the best?
Windows-Shift-S
the silence has been broken siblings
Ugh then I gotta find it and drag it over to discord, you're adding steps when the information is right there
Can anyone do Flawless Execution Penance with a psyker anymore ?
I feel every few games it .. reallllly wants to break your run.
Do you have to do it as another class.
It copies to clipboard
OK, anyway gonna go sprint at heretics
I just do it with Ogryn
I got 12 in a row last time

Big health is big help
I once heard psyker interacting friendly with zealot and had zealot which was friendly to psykers⦠mind helping me understand how to make such characters?
Savant Psyker and Judge Zealot maybe?
No itās not about main archetype itās more related to the background it seems
Maybe you both need to be from the shrine world
Maybe , tho I believe my psyker is from shrine world and she still despises zealots
At no point ever have I even noticed anything that makes the background influence dialogue
I did
Quite a lot
Actually
My zealot judge from ocean world and with some things which I donāt remember was chanting commonly that pilot is pious woman and also was actually friendly to psykers , telling em that they do have purpose aswell and ⦠also was friendly to abhumans
Yay. Got my psyker to level 30 now. First character too. Now I can just wait for every hour for the shop... Lol
laugh in 2 lv 30 characters being guard ⦠I do wish there was bigger max characters limit
all that waiting just to hear "we dun goofed" lol
I do not need more than 5 characters. Too much lol
at least the console ports are delayed
Plot twist, you can't swap subclasses
Time to roll a new Biomancer
At least you won't have to do all the penances over again, so you can still have your cool hood
But what if penances subclass specific?
Then you still have the cosmetics from the old subclass that you can use on the new one
That's kind of how it works in Vermintide, right? There are some universal cosmetics for a character, even if some are career-specific?
I honestly never touched cosmetics in Vermintide 2
Ubersreik Five all looked just fine stock
did they really just need a month to say they were going to add crafting over the next couple of months
what the hell is this
lmao
Next week just became next few months
What does next couple of months even mean? I'm so tired of this bullshit where they use so many words to effectively say nothing at all.
I would be very upset
That's a big nothingburger, all they said is that they are now focusing on crafting and endgame, but i hate the fact that they don't even give a some sort of timeline
If I canāt swap subclasses I will be pissed off
yo im happy about the update, good news lads
At least two
admitting there is a problem is the first step to fixing it
Time to keep playing Darktide as is until then
"hey guys, sorry for shipping a busted game and then ignoring you for a full month. I just came here to tell you were going to ignore you for a couple more months."
And some other games on the side cough
actually really enjoying the game, excited to see some crafting and whats next
This game is one of my only outlets for socialization so there's that
concerning the specialist specific resistances on curios: do these count only on health or also on toughness?
I have 3 curios with gunner resistance but my toughness still melts like butter :3
go out and say hello to other people, but not in a creepy way otherwise you might get some stalker charges
Damage resistance is damage resistance, should be health and toughness
I ought to get a new Curio too, one of mine is DR/Mutants
i think muti, flamer and dog dmg reistances are the least usefull
Bomber
but imagine stacking dog resistance. You can speed ahead or get left behind and chewed on by the dog for hours
meeeh dunno... sometimes you just open a door and 2 bombers jump into you
What's the point of Bomber resistance when they drain your toughness instantly
No, not Poxbursters, Bombers
The grenadiers
Bomber resistance is probably for when they kick you when they get too close
They can kick you?
yes
it's their only melee attack
Go figure
I have only gotten close to Bombers for the melee penance, and every time, I just ran up to them with my Force Sword charged to instagib them
darthvadertheme.mp3
More like Palpatine screech
justify not using it š
I think my Curios are going to be a +1 Wound and +40% health, then stack DR/Gunners, ult regen, and, what's a good third? More health?
Psyker doesnt really have any gun synergy, and thus staffs are probably a better option ^^
That is a very good argument
I like being a team player so I try to get revive speed
Btw is it staffs or staves?
Staves
Fair
Staffs is plural for groups of working people
wow
thx metal troll mommy š¦
I believe a working staff is called a staff because a flagstaff or walking staff is used in support of something.
I assume we get to re-allocate blessings on curios as well when crafting releases, no?
That would be nice
It would make sense
assume when
Gonna have to scroll for several minutes to find stuff to re-allocate when the time comes
And also if we could combine Votive Blessings into +21% Health and +16% Toughness
Time is relative
Allegedly someone has a +2 Wounds curio which works
true we should travel at light speed for a couple of days and come back to earth when some months have past
I distinctly remember the thread on R*ddit but I don't remember the OP
Altho i have seen pics of a few faked items around the web
shocking
but its on the internet so it must be true, right
i do hope they rework most of the blessings while they at it
some are just not useful at all
Limbsplitter cough cough
i was told you can pair limbsplitter with a combat axe mk5 to become untouchable for hordes
Im not sure how limbsplitter would help in that regard
you spam special push attack followed by 1 swing light attack if i remember correctly
In any case CAxe V is allready an S tier horde weapon with brutal momentum
It allready 1 shots poxwalkers so i think limbsplitter might not matter, at lease the one i have does
i dont use it myself, not sure if it 1 shots on lvl5
But i guess that might not count as a chain
It does :p
prob depends on the dmg %
I tried the Mk V in the Meat Grinder, the push attack feels really weird
Probably, i have a pretty high roll
It seems short range but it hits a lot of enemies to your right
if >80 then you = hax0r
Tbh the animation looks wonky, but in effect its just the same as a push-swipe so it works out
Either 79 pr 80 cant remember
Mistress hadron likes to see her slaves in pain
i takes me like 1 week to get a +21% curio
I havenāt seen anything over 16 in my shop
20% is common when you are lvl30 henchman
but 21% is rare
technically it goes up to 25%
never seen that
My Psyker has been blessed with lots of toughness/stamina/wound curios but hardly any health ones
wound is only good when you die
so dont die
If I die I take Atoma with me
Ok FS...
I've got my eye on you. Don't fuck it up. Again.
Question - What do folks like to pair surge staves with in their kit?
Knife
There's a good one in my shop and I'm gonna pick it up as a baseline to just learn the playstyle
knife ok.
dueling sword goes with everything
...Look, I'm not here for memes. Path of Exile's chat is bad enough at that.
I'm asking for information, not jokes
Okay
If you want to be good at picking up downed people, use a Force Sword with deflector. The Force Sword also has a strong special attack, but regular melee suffers, and it being a force weapon means it's not very useful for the feat that lets you use peril instead of stamina while blocking, because force sword passively quells peril very slowly (youre meant to actively quell peril).
Combat axe supposedly is great at dealing with hordes. It has a very good push attack, though I havent really found a decent axe myself, so I havent tried that yet.
Dueling sword is a very good allrounder weapon that has a fast attack speed and excellent dodge effectiveness.
The knife is basically a dueling sword on crack, though you have to be more accurate to pick out the heads/weak spots .
Yeah this tracks
In a nutshell, you use Force Sword if you dont care much about the lvl20 feat that allows you to use peril instead of stamina to block
I don't have one with deflector yet
but I do have one of everything else
So I can poke around with those options
just run a couple games with any weapon and see which one fits you the best.
I still like asking for outside preferences
With surge you probably want a melee weapon that handles hordes decently
Just to steer to the ones that are generally well liked
FS is cool but pretty slow at that
Yeah, FS would put you in a single target support role
And the point of surge is to put a big spotlight on ennemies for teammates to kill. It can set up a bit for yourself if need be but thats not what its really about
Antax combat axe is popular b/c having basically free push attack gives you very safe clear (not the fastest, just safest) and its a really well rounded weapon in general
When I still used surge I rocked a mk4 devil claw for a while, its not amazing but it does fine vs t5 hordes
I do love me my antax
Oh and somebody said duelling sword, specifically mk5 is good
Yeah I have one of those too
1st 2 lights are diagonal, push attack is good and it can roll rampage blessing and proc it easily
Also got big juicy overhead heavies so its still decent vs single target without needing fs charge time
I'm not understanding something. When you pick up a teammate, are you autoblocking during that animation? Is that why Deflector helps?
Yeah deflector can block bullets during pickups when other classes would just eat them
I didn't realize that. I wondered why I was able to pick up a guy the other day when nobody else could. I had just acquired a Force Sword with Deflector so that explains it!
deflector is directional so it's not working 360 against bullet. melee is always 360.
Oh, nevermind. I also switched to the peril-instead of-stamina-while-blocking trait, so that was it more than Deflector.
what tends to be the dump stat on staffs?
what about fire and lighting?
Surge dump stat is charge rate ironically enough
You use it for the CC so you want to be spamming it
And it generates tons of peril so you want warp res for more CC

Anyone know why this happens? Is there a fix?
looks like a bunch of screen overlays happening at once due to toughness getting broken over and over, acquiring warp charges, and being high peril all at once
iirc the game does weird things when you hit 0 toughness, which you're repeatedly hitting with the regen feat while getting shot at. Vet gets slapped with it too
Man, these mutators on missions are just all exhausting
I'd love to play more than I do but I get like 2 missions in and I'm done
would love to have the option to just turn it off like some of the approved mods did for VT2, first thing I did was remove all overcharge effects and sounds
would make playing psyker much more enjoyable
I'm fine with those myself. I use those as a more overt indicator of my peril level
keeping numbers in front of me is a good way to turn me off of a game
I still pay attention to it but not exclusively
simply because I don't have to, nor want to
yeah but that's why it would be nice if it was an option
so both me and you could have what we want
Oh yeah, I'm just giving perspective
I wouldn't even be mad with them generally toned down
The most sad part from open letter - no new absolutely ridiculous psyker outfits in cash store for couple more months (that i will buy and never wear anyway). In Fatshark mind they probably count as new content š
After I got the penance chest itās all I wear but the blue shirt from the last psyker outfit is nice
Monstrum Malleus chest is the best! And recent gasmask with a collar is nice too.
I donāt super like the dust mask from that set though. They always have those masks in games but without the second filter and as a painter I donāt like that lol
The cosmetics would just go over poorly and they know it
That's the reason they're suspending them. Because people would just roit
Since rejects have to deal with nurgle cultists - gasmask is a must-have! š
We all know gamer masses know no decorum so
I'd love to know why they needed money so badly they just pushed this game
Because Money
A lot of big budget shit does this nowadays. Something at the top end wants to stop the spending and start earning before their product deserves it
That's not an answer though
I know it's about money
Yes it really is
Those types of masks irl have a second filter that clips on the outside. And i think if it was a gas mask it would cover the eyes too
finished my staff last night.
Were they in danger of running out? Was it costing more than they could manage to keep working on it?
I like the silver skull mask on that chest piece
There's no transparency about the financials in this shit and it's frustrating because it would actually help
Recent Calisto Protocol made a MASSIVE disservice to gameing industry, Budget 160 millions - game is mediocre at best , on what money was spent is a huge question. After such a massive investment failure, all game studio will have their belts tied tighter.
And best part - they are unlikely to break even on that budget - sales was abysmal.
Budget doesn't guarantee quality
Oh my god donāt get me started on the dead space āwhat if?ā Game
It just guarantees fidelity.
I dunno why I'm so eager to put apostrophes on everything
Callisto Protocol is SUCH a fucking cop out for a one trick pony developer
Yea true
So they'll either crumble under the failure or actually try something different
I enjoyed the gameplay but god damn
I love them
Least of all dead space. That shit gave me a couple panic attacks in the past.
I said "no ma'am"
Like they were great games, but that was my issue with them
they were too good at the atmosphere lmao
Even RE7 in VR was spooky to me lol
Part of me wonders if this is a rumor I spread unintentionally when I shared a Surge staff I rolled with an 80, 80, 80, 78, 24 stat spread.
No I'd imagine it just makes sense
AFAIK you're right, but I'm worried I created some false data
You never really fully charge it cuz you don't have to
Nah Iām just right lol. I donāt take advice from psyker chat
Sure it does more damage but it doesn't do great damage to begin with because it's just such hard CC
It does
No offense, but thereās a lot of dumb fucks in here
Nice sprout take
I can't wait to replace warp flurry with warp nexus on mine
But yeah the damage on Surge staves isn't notable enough to care about unless you REALLY need it
so it's still worth maximizing the damage bar but the charge time isn't such a huge deal
Being a sprout in this discord has nothing to do with the game and how long someone has played it. But good one
You so rarely want to fire out damage from surge
I just went for crit chance, the other stat was 25% damage vs unyielding, which is okay since I spend a lot of time stunlocking ogryns.
No, kast, it doesn't. But you're too new to this space to be so openly hostile to people being misinformed.
Be a jaded vet of the server itself, then get back to us
Lol ok
Yeah, its important to stay cordial.
What would the emperor do?
Yeah no, gaming kills that
But really I'm just taking the piss
It's not that big a deal
I would be more cordial if there werenāt so many āwell acktchuallyā guys around lol
Well actually (hue) that's the game's fault
But I get it Iām not pressed
Oh my god, there's so much arguing in Psyker chat
It's mostly because of all the data we've had to strong arm from the code
It's out there but it's not disseminated well
I've encountered some truly miserable people on reddit
I originally joined this discord just to troll anyway lol but I like some people here
Any active game past a certain size is going to pull irritants in general. It's like a law of the universe
I really like vet chat, that class is so boring they were talking about for honor for an hour earlier lol
Or more
True
It's R*ddit
Social mediites are miserable people
R*dditors are delusional misers, Tw*tters are psychopathic losers, and Zuccbookers are deranged pod people
What are discord people tho? 
Furries

so true!!
Poggers
How is this Surge?
69 damage/10
Not bad
What do you mean by /10?
I think the blessings are a little meh though, huh?
Its a joke.
I think surge just wants charge, warp and quell to spam stun. Damage and crit bonus is a bit.
Low
too low damage, too high charge rate
Can confirm
Warp Nexus is basically the only blessing youre looking for on Surge
With that said crit bonus is kind of on the low side

So the only dump stat on surge is damage or something else?
Warp Resist is dumpable, some say charge rate too because of the small impact it has but I generally dont agree with that sentiment
How about this VoidStrike?
The warp resistance a bit lower and charge rate but damage and quell speed and blessing is good
Pretty decent, shame Transfer Peril is the lowest rank but at least it has it
ah so they are dumps just becauese of the small impact
Pretty much yeah
True... Didn't notice it was the lowest rank
That sucks lol
It's still a nice staff
Yeah, hopefully rebless will be a thing haha
I grabbed it tho. Most of my stuff are outdated
Is it weird but I actually really like the chainsaw. Feels like it can deal with hordes unlike an axe and that special can deal big single damage too
chainsword is decent, you can deal with hordes with an axe too
How? Isn't it always single target?
also i just woke up and saw the uber amazing open letter, please tell me this isn't the only thing we're getting this week
brutal momentum blessing
you'd want it especially on antax mk 5 combat axe, you can use something like mk 2 tac axe but it's way better on zealot compared to psyker imo
Hotfix patch... maybe?
they also got rid of dogs and replaced with lights out!!
although nobody has seen it...
well shit, hope we do get at least a hotfix
and hopefully the promised TH buffs from last patch, but im not getting my hopes up
I'll keep an eye out for that. But why that specific mark and combat axe? Combat is higher damage right? And why the mark?
anyone else getting a steam error rn while using armory extension?
STeam is down for me atm
each mark is a different weapon in this game
mkV axe is the specific one with the strong cleave push attack
shortest answer is mk v is the best out of all combat axes, dont use rashad combat axe because is head detection or whatever you call it is kinda wonky
steam is down all over the world
oh yeah just tried logging in on my steam too, guess it's a steam thing
Well it is maintenance day to be fair
honestly i def feel it on my surg staff that has super low warp res, compared to my purg staff that isn't as terrible
I expect things to be back to normal shortly
whats crit do for surge
why would you want it
but i think it's like, VERY dump stat (maybe 40% or slightly less)
and i run into a lot of peril management issues
(also possible it's just a skill issue
)
noooo, if steam is down then how can i run the game, buy from the armory and not play it anyway
Surge staff has a base crit rate of 25%, crit damage is a significant source of power on the surge staff
we need a pin on like mod prio for the staffs methinks 
oh hey steam is up
I still don't know how you tell what rank a blessing is
there's lines on the icon
if you're in the browser extension it just tells you, ingame look at the lines protruding from the icon
Yeah the browser extention says it plainly but the icon

has lots of lines on it in general, I don't know what it looks like compared to one another
number of lines is the tier
Yep
yeah
T2-T4 has 2 to 4 lines
Can someone screenshot a high tier blessing?
Okay then. I'll look about for the mark v
Cuz it's very stylized and my brain is gonna need it in the moment.
I'm away from my pc so

cant really do it myself
uhh if you check one of the recent photos i posted with the search function i posted an axe with t4 decimator
Ah ok lemme look then
shit i hope i didnt post my nudes jk
Yeah
here
oh thanks
lmao
How does warp nexus stack 5 times though? What makes it stack?
peril
Yeah the little tick marks are what you guys are talking about
Got it, now I can properly tell
It's very vague though. It just says based on current peril there is a 3% maximum critical hit chance and it stacks 5x. I guess what I'm confused about is at what point is another stack added?
i learned that bless tier thing when i was already like 300+ hours in the game lol
basically it's supposed to give you a stack per peril breakpoint you pass, like, at 100% peril, you have five stacks, but the tooltip of course doesn't tell us what it is, lol
i used to just compare the values written
I believe dataminers have them and it's non-intuitive (both the 4th and 5th stack are at 97%?)
Basically more peril = higher crit with warp nexus
That's dumb tho... Who tf is going to fire a shot at that peril? I mean you might... Once but then you gotta quell
fatshark
I think (I don't remember exactly) it corresponds to the same breakpoints that determine things like passive quell speed and the audiovisual effects
And I also wonder if it's determined by the peril of when you start casting or when you attack
Because I am not starting a fast at 97% for surge lol
I will die
does the total crit bonus only add up to 2% or 10%
2/3/4/5 per stack, 5 stacks, maximum 10/15/20/25
okay, so the descriptive text is wrong, great work illiterateshark
as expected
btw use this on purgatus, you can often safely cast it at 100% if there are enough poxwalkers, because as long as you get a proc of the 10% chance to reduce 10% peril, you won't die
People love to punch down
and no matter what you won't start exploding until you finish dumping your entire charge bar of fire
It's not wrong though. It says
+Critical Change based on current Peril. Max of 3% critical chance. Stacks 5 times.
It is a maximum of 3% per stack
punching isn't unique to boxers, but we respect the dedication and expertise of a specialist
yeah but there's no range, therefore saying "max" is dumb

Don't you need to keep holding down the right mouse button to keep casting the flames tho? In which peril gets built up?
I don't think so
try it in meatgrinder
Once you press down the left mouse, the stream just goes until you let the left mouse up again
or you run out of charge bar
I expected that there was a range though.. Although I don't know the numbers, for easiness, let's assume the stacks are at 20, 40, 60, 80, 97 peril
So at 10% peril, the bonus crit you get is 2.5%. At 20%, you get the max 5% bonus. At 30% you get 7.5% and so on
Really? I swear mine stopped. Maybe I'm crazy or dumb
if they worded it like that just because of that interaction then that is the most bozo way i think you could design a blessing
issue with darktide blessings is just the fact you have no indicator of your stacks/buffs like vermintide did
you have for some
It may be better to check, I sure do feel like I've just let it up from time to time due to twitch
buffs and other effects from feats are generally on screen
but blessings yeah you're on your own
When the +crit peril says max of 5% it means you get +5% at the top tier of peril. Stacking 5 times just means there are 5 tiers of peril which will be divided to +1% per tier (if you have +5 max)
it doesn't seem like it should be that hard to implement too
they have the icons already
throw them in a corner with a timer on top
maybe because fatshark they would have to manually add an additional ui effect for each individual blessing
for reasons
and it's too much

@wheat quartz would you contest this

Empirically, t4 warp nexus is not giving 5% total crit
At least if yellow numbers popping in the meat grinder are indicative
And if it did... Then that's shit
It's definitely not giving 25%
5% bonus at 90%ish peril is crap
an additive 5% would still double your base crit
But then you have things like shred which give you +25
Or crucian roulette which goes up to +50
So +5 is something to laugh at
If you stack it with perk, maybe but other than that, meh
I do agree that anecdotally it does not feel like 5%
but I haven't rigged up an ahk meatgringer test or anything and counted
yeah I haven't done a recorded test and actually counted yellows or anything
just, there was a lot of yellows, compared to a +5% crit perk staff with no nexus
I haven't played any Vermintide games but I just really really REALLY appreciate that swinging my weapon doesn't use up stamina and only blocking, dodging, and running do
We used to not even have running
what perks should i roll for purgatus (damnation) lads?
Hard to test too sometimes unless you have the exact same staff just without nexus
flak and crit chance
As in Vermintide, you couldn't rub? Or it didn't take up stamina?
I wish running didn't either tbh. It's not that much faster...
You couldn't run in VT2 yes
Was movement speed decently fast then? Or kinda how walking is here?
im leftclicking with a voidstrike at 99% peril with a T3 warp nexus and i do seem to be critting more than 9% of the time
Some dogs are made of rubber, which is why they sometimes ignore surge
You clearly haven't played with a Knife properly
Haven't played zealot yet. It's gonna be my next class
Feels about the same basically
remember to paint the knife red, because it makes you go faster
Just use Knife on Psyker
In vermintide you had to roll movement speed stats on your class/gear to move faster or use abilities
It's like Dueling Sword but even faster
Vermintide had a lot of moving faster by attacking the air with weapons that had movespeed boost during attacks
How about painting a lightning bolt on the knife too?
Which was verycsilly.
Sienna dagger users be like
Anyone wish that Melk's contracts were not as annoyingly long? I know they are week long quests... But imagine having multiple characters... That sucks. Ain't no one got time for that
I just don't bother doing my psyker's ones because he already has what I want tbh
Oh baby
i don't even try to finish all of my melk quests anymore
Can be rectified tho by having contracts be account wide and gear shared. At the very least... Just melk's gears being account wide
My zealot has shit luck, while my psyker is beloved
Yeah, I have like 1000 currency so I desperately need them
Sadly nothing is account wide aside from yourself playing them
And the premium currency
I reckon for an ideal Purgatus you'd want "I cannot be interrupted out of my channeling" (can't remember what this is called) and warp nexus. There doesn't seem to be a better utility benefit blessing than that one.
I guess Aquilas are there but that's cosmetic only
And premium cosmetics
Melk never sells anything good anyway. I've yet to buy something from him
Aside from weapons. Very few are interchangeable
Like the mechanical eye one
alright, i left clicked 50 times at 99 peril and got 9 crits

Yeah cause a lot are class specific
That's the point
What do y'all think? Is it worth it in spite of the bad reload?
I want a Surge/Nexus voidstrike ;_;
Okay, now do this 5 more times for a good sample
Unless you make idk. 4 Ogryns for whatever reason
uh
What does Surge blessing do again?
You get a stack at 020%,50%,80%,97%,97% peril.
"on crit, shoot another bolt" apparently
I've never seen one
Melk refuses to cough up
Revolver fan Vets would die for that thing
I'm gonna get it
Nooo
Is it only at melk? I heard someone say that blessing only. Pops. Up on t4 or t5
Bad blessings, bad stats
it's a t4
so really fuckin' rare (lol) anywhere except Melk or Emperor's Gifts
How is the revolver any good? It barely had any ammo. Don't you run out fast?
Depends if you used it pre buff
The shots hit like a truck and Vet can press F to insta-reload
Pre buff. Revolver had very little ammo
Revolver still has very little ammo
If you're just body hitting carapace yeah
Yes, take 5 shots to kill specials and call that good damage.
Revolver is for styling.
memeing around on crucian revolver with zealot, I appreciate Q -> shoot being nearly instant sniper removal
Revolver build is just a BB melee build with an oh shit button
gotta leave a round in the gun and lose some of my bonus though
But the mark 12 lasgun is pretty damn good enough with lots of ammo
less I don't have a t4 crucian revolver :(
Yeah XII is dummy thicc
52 shots just seems like crap
I just wanna pull out the hsword 9 and make poxwalkers evaporate
It's why I run Gun Psyker
The revolver is a tool that aids in this goal
Crucian Roulette autogun works the same if you plan to keep it empty mainly
Btw... Is it just me... Or does BB charge up faster if you hold left click on a target? Versus holding right click and not having a specific target yet?
You have ult for stagger now pls
It does
yes it does charge faster
Okay, so I'm not crazy lol
But downside is you can lose the charge if the target dies
LMB has 2 second charge, RMB 3, both cost 10 peril per second to charge and then the cast itself is 1 second animation
Yeah. But left click has the added benefit of not needing to maintain line of sight once started
I always did right click ngl. Might need to change that
Yes and less peril generated since it charges faster and you can't over hold it
You can always cast and finish LMB if you are at 97 or below
It will not pop your brain
For much peril is generated on release of the BB?
Yeah it doe snot work with RMB tho. Cause you will overcharge once it's done and when you release it, dead
25
@gilded cloud
Just.. here. It's the manual, have fun.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
Okay then so technically 3 consecutive BB in a row is possible before needing to quell
Ty for the link btw
siblings melk is taunting me
Is it cause it's good stats but a tac axe?
Huh? No, tac axes are great
Just, that's on my psyker, not my zealot. Again. Again.
both modes do that
Yes and if you have ult you can keep going as long as battle meditation triggers. If it doesn't you can still ult out of the self destruct mode.
You guys have any tips for "Pick n Mix"?
