And your weapon isn't active while you ress 
oh they fixed the screen flickering on psyker? nice
are you running the 10% chance to bb on hit? Maybe it's double popping and bugging out?
Nay.
You camp behind your team mates and do dull charges on enemies far away or below your team mates feets.
Can you get the double peril cost to proc in the grinder or only during a mission?
Very frustrating.
I'm sorry but in vermintide 2, if you had Parry trait on your weapon and you revived someone, it did work, so wtf
If you look closely you seem to lose the peril that would kill you before you use the F at the end of the clip. I've definitely noticed it does some weird stuff with BB peril gain sometimes.
Reviving seems to have extra stamina now or then it uses the stamina bar of your ranged weapon
It always did that.
it was already the case
Ok just didn't pay attention earlier since I always ran KD
I think it uses some base + bonus modifier
Very likely

oh wtf, it was about to kill you off 95%
I've seen the number jump around occasionally too but i've never been unfortunate enough for it to actually do anything. I just assumed it was a visual thing
It does look like to me that the warp explosion realizes "oh I'm not supposed to blow up" just before Comissar shouts
But its still funny that it happens at all
I feel like it maybe happens more when it's laggy but idk if i'm just imagining it. Do you usually have lag issues?
I've noticed that now, you can still block on peril above 80%. I parried a hit and my peril went from 94 to 98
Peril block threshold was changed to 97%
free reroll, no plasteel, cant reroll lol
though it was 90% before, not 80%
games really going to make me grab a single plasteel just to reroll something thats free
You tested it?
sorry you're too poor
I saw the code and although I didn't specifically test it, seemed to match what I saw
97 is the 'critical peril' for many things and the UI even enlarges the number on screen at that point so would make sense
Yes it was 90 before, that is for sure
There's an ICD for the 10% chance to BB on hit right?
Yes 15 sec
I did, I could block a hit from 94 peril to 98, the next hit went on stamina without guard breaking me
Thx, will add to Atheneum with attribution
thank you
is combat or tac axe better
Yes.
Perf

they both viable?
Yeah, though Psyker does extra well with combat axe due to push attacks.
Tac Axe is more mobile
Thought so was wondering if there were any other big differences I appreciate ya
I'd say for general play Combat Axe is probably better for Psyker play
MK II just as mobile imo
Chainsword!
It get buffed?
Goes brrrrr
Tac Axe is really nice on zealot imo if you want to go crit zealot
Probably still good on other classes tho
Is there an easy pick blessings set up for combat?
Axes are just good. Period
As long as you don't get Limbsplitter & Decimator it should be nice.
I think pretty much any axe would want brutal momentum
Honestly crit build on zealot is like playing iron breaker. It teaches you not to avoid damage which is bad for almost anything else
Its not as ideal on Psyker since you want to shove attack spam most of the time anyway imo.
fair enough
you don't need to do this at all
combine purg staff with axe, use axe in between your aoe CC's from purg
We're not discussing ranged set-ups though.
your choice of melee highly depends on what ranged you choose to use in tandem with it tho
just like feats do, depends on what ranged you're usin
If you want single target melee I'd rather run Knife.
If you want horde clear I'd rather run Chainsword.
Knife has about the same DPS as combat axe (without blessings)
But Combat Axe has some nasty blessings
Though I just get no good Knife blessings
The best blessings are probably:
Executor
Uncanny Strike
Mercy Killer
Lacerate
For Psyker
In roughly that order imo.
Any of the other blessings are bad
do you even get executor procs when you push attack
the bleed blessings don't work through bulwark shields anymore right?
heard it was patched
Good question, I don't have executor on any knives 
Yeah, it's why it's at the bottol
it's still good boss dps
It's like 177 dps on Unyielding max stacks which is decent for sure
They saved you by removing shotguns
Lowkey. I just wish the staffs had more unique left clicks
Over purgatus being the only with with a unique left click
I wish unique weapons were actually made to feel great.
Shovel is basically combat axe
Budget axe
Even then TECHNICALLY. ogryn gets a shovel too
Not the same but still
Is a shovel
I just hope 2 handed melee isnt all/mostly gonna go to Zealot
I have a friend who uses shovel vet for fun
it seems horrible
Shovel Ogryn though
That's where its at
Is it worse than the best weapons?
Absolutely
But its fun
I feel the same way about Force Sword and Stubber
Hol' on
It's nice but not for me
I literally DANCE like a fucking ballerina around everything and murder it all.
I would prefer normal dodges of the other 2 dueling swords
What is classified as an infested enemy
And that 200+ heavy down strike attack for a heavy
Poxwalkers and pox hounds (also supposedly pox bursters iirc)
It’s just, sexy
So the bigger horde enemies, dogs and suicide bombers.
My favorite currently is to duel a plague ogryn with the mk5 sabre .
“I got him, boys, watch me whip. Watch me naynay”
Thanks!
So is this one good?
Imean kast talks specifically MkV dueling sword
Yeah but you gotta rng the perks/blessings if you upgrade it
I like fighting 4-5 ragers at once. Dodging 90 feet one way and watching 2 of them miss and 3 of them following. Smack them in the fucking head for a BB proc, dodging BACK to the other 2 that are animation locked and hitting them while I dodge around them. Then dodge backwards away when they swing again. UGH it’s so good
Unless you want a higher finesse stay
I’d rather have less warp res personally but all I use that thing for is it’s charge attack really lol
It’s fun for sure. The mk5 axe is my other favorite for sure. Chopping heads like wu tang.
Why we can’t dual wield with the staff is beyond me.
What you mean? Like instead of a melee have another staff?
Or a staff in each hand? Lol
what is the best among duelling swords? and are the power sword and duelling sword the 2 best melee choices for psyker?
You probably mean Force Sword instead of Power Sword. I would say those 2 are what people mostly use. As for the dueling sword It's personal preference but I like Mk5. It has a huge dodge and I like the heavy over head swings it has. I've also seen combat daggers on some psykers, but I feel like for the combat dagger to work it needs the right blessings/perks.
Objective tier list of Psyker melees
S-tier: The ones I like
F-tier: The ones I don't like
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.


If you want a proper overview of what is good or bad then this is my experience:
Combat Axe: Overall good, has some cleave problems. Each mk is different though.
Tac Axe: Similar to combat axe, actually does better cleave but less damage to crushers
Knife: Very bad cleave, same/better DPS to single target than Combat Axe, big fast
Dueling Sword: ??? Not sure. Seems roughly on par with Knife but less single target damage. Has better cleave on lights(?)
Chainsword: Good cleave. Rev. Not the best single target. All-round good.
Force Sword: Can just kinda stagger a big chunk of a horde, does decent cleave, special is good vs single target, can knock crushers on their butt. Shitty mobility despite infinite dodges (except going backwards)
Oh yeah and claw
Claw exists.

I wish the bonk special attack was actually usable beyond pushing a poxwalker off of you
Claw is actually very good anti-elite/specials aside from crusher.
Does okay cleave but not exceptional.
Imo special attack on staffs should be a nova around you
Claw underrated
To help with survivability
hate the claw
There’s a claw that’s two horizontal sweeps and it’s good
Mk I
Wrong, but its okay the game fools you 
I prefer using the Claw Sword to the Power Sword on Veteran myself
Tbf all melees are fine
Either that or I was doing push shove attack then heavy
And Psyker doesn't get a dumb weapon like Psword or Hsword
Same principle tho
i just hate how slow they are
Overhead heavy 1 is good single target
compared to what lol
All the other melees?
Aside from Tac Axe, Knife and Duelling Sword
Its about the same as the other swords
Combat Axe is slightly slower
the knife axe and sword are pretty much the only other choices for psych lol
i dont mind a slow weapon but if shes gonna be slow better do some damage
im rocking an antax so i cant even talk..
hahahahaaaaaaaa
finally got something worthy
is this upto par with what everybody else is rocking?
Not with those blessings
blessings are fkn trashhhhhh
Stats are pog though
good stats though just hold onto it
whats pog mean? im new here
Not perfect, since Damage should be the dump stat, but beggars can't be choosers
Do blessings even matter that much on any staff?
Twitch emote 
It just means good, in an enthusiastic manner
lmao
waiting for crafting system
hopefully i can land something better on the blessings in the meantime. I feel like decent staffs are real hard to come by
Except when its used ironically.

^ lol
Because language is unfortunately super malleable
When the word 'literally' has a listed definition for when something is used hyperbolically, it's a bad omen
Wrong
POV: Zealot looking at Psyker
anybody have a good trauma force build?
no, because that'd require the trauma staff to be good
seems like the most neglected staff by devs
i like the idea of the playstyle though
The trauma staff is amazing in ideal situations 
i run a rumbler w ogryn
Just that playing around those ideal situations isn't feasible in pubs
I have terrifying barrage on mine too. Not ideal but
And Purge does trauma staff job basically as well and in more scenarios.
almost feel like terrf barrage dosent do shit
It's arguable that Trauma is better than Voidstrike for crowd control
It's true* fify

Actually Voidstrike is pretty decent against lined up hordes.
But once again
hate voidstrike lol
And Trauma is decent against round clusters
Purge does that better
I think the issue is that Purge is too good against too many enemies
It should do significantly less damage to armored enemies and maniacs
And Trauma/Void should do much more
Void is the only decent option against ranged trash mobs more than 10 feet away
Plus the ability to hit them when they’re behind cover is nice
BB / LMB
too much downtme w void for crowd cont result
Voidstrike only wins out on shooters if they line up basically.
only deletes a few heads at at time
This is what I run with it and I'm a big trauma stan
Except swap warp flurry for rending shockwave on trauma
Bolt is big enough to hit 2 columns wide if you aim decently. And if your using And using BB for individual trash ranged is less than ideal
Can easily take out packs of 3 behind cover, if anything f voids horde control is overstated due to it not penetrating some elite enemies and such
wish i had those blessings
I think they're trolling
Blessings aren't that important on trauma
Rending shockwave is nice because it applies brittleness to enemies so acts as a group debuff
Warp flurry might be good now it's fixed on trauma
Focused channeling is nice I guess but pretty easy to avoid being interrupted in most cases with trauma
Does Psykinetic Aura work when allies take the kill
no
Not for your ult
No, but gives everyone CDR when you kill
Might for theirs, not sure
warp flurry is very good on trauma
Wait everyone gets the cdr?
Yes
claw?
Claw.
Yeah warp flurry should be very good for it now
yes, only when the psyker gets the kill tho
I assumed that CDR for everyone was a given
Huh, didn’t realize I was such an altruist with my build 
if trauma targeting is ever fixed, warp flurry and rending shockwave are a very good blessing combo for trauma
You mean like how Ogryn's toughness feat is worded basically the same but only gives them Toughness Replenishment?

Ya
Or their Coherency feat
No there are two
It's worded basically the same as the Psyker feat is
never trust descriptions
But the Psyker feat buffs allies
fatshark lies
also half the feats that say elite kill actually mean elite/special kill
psyker's aura is on elite/special kill
Compare these two
And think about why one works only on you, and the other works on allies 
Ya I thought Lynchpin gave higher Toughness regen to everyone
It does not
yes, but the psyker has to get the kill
The first one should just be +100% Toughness Replenishment (Coherency)
Not even that. Toughness Replenishment requires Coherency to begin with, same with the Curios
Except that the curios are called Toughness Regen Speed

This game can't get its terms right to save its life
Also I think this supposedly works on all Toughness recovery
Its just so wack
trying to figure out what the descriptions really mean is part of the gameplay
the true darktide experience
Also Knife having 3x Toughness Coherency regen will standing still but 0.5x while moving is 
How are you supposed to know this?
Who knows.
This game really makes you FEEL like a soldier getting operator manuals from the Administratum
Ogryn passive giving you 20% DR but 36% Toughness DR because their system reduces damage first by the DR and then the Toughness DR.
i am sorry, what is "claw"?
Haha. Its the weapon Devil's Claw. Catachan Sword
Zealots just call it Claw
thank you
We nickname all our melees
Catachan Devil is like M1. It means so many different things
i happen to have found a 380 of those on my psyker
die hard works for whole team
+1 Wounds and two +20% Health
More than 1 Wound is pretty excessive.
All three have DR/Gunners and Combat Ability Regen
gives more opportunity than 20 health that gets ripped in one hit from behind
save that shit for #veteran-class
More than 1 wound is meming
lol is 20 health worth it though?
I'd say so. Easier to not go down twice than it is to go down faster but five times
Currently running 2 toughness 1 HP, will transition to all toughness eventually
i feel like toughness is useless
are your teammates even reviving you enough for all those wounds to matter?
Toughness lets you tank more shots. HP lets you survive a bit more fiesta.
Yeh I much prefer Health on my Psyker
If you die 3+ times per station that's a lot of mistakes
trying to tank anything on heresy+ is a Bad Play
Toughness can be for Veteran
I run 2x health and a 3x stamina curio
yeah usually because i let them know im going to sacrafice a wound
Still no stamina curio fix 
Taking wounds assumes your team will always be able to get you up when you go down, it also leaves your team one person down when you could have just not gone down with toughness
not yet, but we can dream
you mean not gone down with more health
yeah but toughness gets depleted reagardless of damage type
I run toughness on every class, I strongly think it's always the best option
one hit from behind and 100% of toughness is gone on damnation, even if you have 3 toughness curios
Ewwww no
so why bother rocking toughness
Oh ya my third perk is Corruption Resistance
hp curios only seem worth it at 25% being that we only get so much health
not like ogryn where ur buffing 25% of 300
wounds is useless, if you go down more than once you're doing something wrong anyway
wounds ftw
Is this reddit
I hope not
real wound player
i can't believe it
Imagine being a r*dditor
lol
Almost all your sources of toughness are % based, you will take less chip and a lot less damage over a run with toughness if you don't play like complete ass

im telling you guys wounds are the truth
Yeh that's why I run DR/Gunners on all three slots
i can run 3 toughness curios and get hit in the back by a brokie and it drops completely
I fear runs when I get team mates with more than 1 wound, they almost invariably spend half the run on their ass
That's just not true though
Wounds:
Does nothing unless you're dying (or intentionally down yourself)
Toughness:
Always helps (you recover Toughness easily on all classes)
Gives more effective HP
HP:
Always helps (you usually take less HP damage from enemies than Toughness)
Gives your Wounds more HP so even if you go down once you still get similar levels of HP to a Wound player, your 1st life is just stronger.
So after nerf to force sword/peril blocking, what melee is everyone running
yeah but wounds are meant to be used strategically
I'll give you 1 Wound is fine.
not just for the case of getting down
I'm still running Force Sword for pushes and deleting Scab Ragers
and dont forget if you run grims for weeklies hp is great cause grims give a fixed value of corruption rather than %
Plus Mutants
the people I see running full wound are usually the ones that kinda need it
We playin vet now
i barley even notice grims with 3 wounds
and Corruption Resistance on curios currently affects all sources of corruption
including Grims
Force Sword with +Dmg/Maniac and +Dmg/Flak is kino
making Corruption Resistance (Grimoire) redundant
but those perks have better options
You'll find genuine argument between health and toughness but ain't anyone who's gonna stand up for wounds above 1
2x hp curio and the 2 grims only bring you down to 50%
You're not going to get much better than damage resist and ult regen
I am the wound guy
Cleared all damnations with 3 wounds because I don’t need extra health 
This is the only reason to run Wounds
Ult regen is terrible what?
lol
not true, running 3x toghness reg. its back up in just 1 second ( i know its bugged atm)
If you run 5 Wounds
I got like 10% ult regen all together
On your 3rd and 4th Wound
Man those 3 seconds I saved for the price of 3 perk slots really helped
i usually run damnation with full wounds and carry
You're basically a one-shot
Woowee
they changed drastically
On Psyker? Plenty of toughness regen options
Psyker already had some of the most reliable Toughness regen options.
Essence Harvest + Ascendant Blaze rules
You could always be recovering Toughness
Like if you run wounds and still do good on Damn good for you but you're genuinely just making things harder for yourself
with 3x toughness reg perks you get > 100 toughness / sec in coherency and your quietude is buffed as well
Quitetude isn't buffed.
sounds like you play with shit players
Pretty sure quietude is unaffected by the perk
It only works on Coherency.
Its also not 100 toughness per second.
It's at most 3.6x normal toughness regen
(aside from secret weapon modifiers)
Unless you're Ogryn 
it's also very clearly bugged and is probably gonna get patched
Yeah Ogryn gets 7.2x
1-2-2-1-1-2 is how I stack my Psyker
am I wrong for this buildout
So its 18 Toughness per second if you use a default weapon.
That's pretty standard build.
Depends on your weapons
Loadout looks fine to me but depends on weapons
psych aura would be my only choice
I prefer Psych aura to get more BBs with KB coming back
Yeh
Communion is kind of just lazy
I also run Cerebral Lacerations sometimes
Well he's running essence harvest so communion makes sense here
Communion is good if you want peril resist and damage bonus but don't want to be BBing continuously
Sadly though @still hearth I was FORCED to use stam curios now because they RUINED psyker with the nerfs! I’m so mad about it honestly 
It's more playstyle than lazy
Psyker was OP though. Deserved.

Gun Psykers run 3-2-2-1-3-3, right?
I run 3-2-2-1-1-3 on GunPsyker iirc
why run stam curios?
The patch notes actually made me cry for real
I like having a random BB kill an Ogryn or Mutant I'm shooting at on occasion
I'm a Kantrael Mk XII man
I'm supposed to be in the back of the formation anyway, so having a weapon with an inverted damage falloff is fun for that
Blue weapons BTFO
whats btfo lol
Build The Future Omae
the MGXII lasgun won't stay the way it is, I can tell you that
it's not in line with the rest of the lasguns
going to be a lot of salty vets and zealots when that gets addressed
That would be a trip
Hey man, they buffed Trauma
would be hood if it had more damage
sure, by bringing it more in line with the other staves
same thing is going to happen to the MGXII
not a bad idea
can i lose possibility of refining to a lower % perk?
i feel like tht shit has happen to me in the past
You just gotta reroll forever
It can be upgraded from T3 to T4 if that's what you're asking
its just rolling?
I've never seen a T2 perk on any weapon at Level 30 except at Melk's
A max roll weapon will basically roll T3 or T4 perks randomly.
So yeah you can't not get T3 perks
It'll just randomly pick one from either tier
and its possible to roll a t4 is your t3?
I've occasionally gotten t2 from perk rerolling before
i feel like ive refined a t4 and it gave me a t3
Yeh a T4 can become T3
it works vice versa also?
Yes
Melk offered me a 289 Power Sword once. With Deflector and Slaughterer. Fuck Melk
yeah it's just a reroll
it can become anything that weapon could normally get
a t4 could become a t2, although rerolling into a t2 seems pretty rare
Can you imagine if Fatshark stuck to their guns and made refining a weapon more expensive each time?
it gets cheaper and cheaper until it becomes free so eventually you just spam the button for an hour till you have what you want
Yeh
gtfo
It eventually becomes free
WTF
99 diamantine and 299 plasteel on an orange weapon
thats when you reach free status
I wish I could just spend 300 Plasteel and 100 Diamantine at one time to choose a T4 perk
i think if you could choose everything would get nerfed
everyone would end up with a similar build
random roll keeps you playing longer also
No Psyker nerfs in 1.0.23 hotfix. I'm dissapointed
Too intelligent for these devs tbh
i think he just means picking the perk instead of rerolling for an hour to get that perk
There is virtually zero practical difference between rerolling a thousand times and choosing once
it's completely pointless. It's free anyways so you're just pressing the button over and over until it happens
When in your mindless clicking, you accidentally reroll the perk you wanted
i get what you mean
Engagement tactic 
i agree
didnt think of it that way
and ive accidentally rerolled myself into trash
sometimes the shit is delayed
alot of things seem to be delayed
like fixing the book bug..
maybe we should spend more money on aquila so they have more budget to work with 😛
So:
- Actual hotfix
- No psyker nerfs
It's not a Fatshark! Someone replaced them!
take your bets on how many more patches until they decide to blind us again
my bet is 2
lol
It's not a Fatshark patch if it doesnt give some middle finger to Psykers
lol
It'll be great Next Week ™️ when they buff Psyker
psyk was fun when the game came out not sure what happend since
VFX buffs only
I started playing ogryn bc nobody was playing it
My bet for the next strobe effect is Disco Rave Voidstrike
lmfao
And frankly Im excited for the new content
did anybody like the newest rollout of cosmetics?
i thought it was a off
a little off*
my bet is force sword block
people are already complaining about it being nerfed
it's about time they make it "feel more impactful"
LOL
The fuck did they do now?
It will be DEAFENING SFX when quelling 🙂
Rejects! We just released 1.0.23 to fix a couple of issues found in yesterdays patch. We also just wanted to address some questions that have arisen regarding the EULA. EULA Today you may find yourselves being faced with the EULA once more when launching Darktide. The content of the EULA remains the same as the EULA previously presented at lau...
supposedly they fixed the bug where psykers got blinded for having peril
ahh yea, that flashing shit when you get suppressed while at high peril
to bad they didn't revert the changes to KD and deflector
They won't ever
They will not back down from hurting psykers .. ever! It's the funniest thing in their roadmap 🙂
ITS JUST LIKE THE LORE
A new day, a new pool of bile to soak in.
I'm still in doubt about investing in swapping some Curios for Toughness regen. It's a lot of materials to spend, and they can roll that change back or tune it down drastically
You're right, they can. And will. so don't
Also that EULA change sounds super fucking fishy
Don't nobody read that shit
I dropped 4K plasters on it today for shits, would def give it a minute lol
I’m probably going to get burned on that
Once that ogyrn lynchpin regen gets noticed
I'll hold on my humble material reservs for a while now. They can be both toughness regen changes and crafting changes (in a few months) and my enthusiasm to play is a at 0 currently
Oh that toughness shit is gonna get taken away for SURE
ogryn with lynchpin should be (with 3 tier 4 toughness regens) 345% but it’s 560% right now.
Still crazy if working as it should but
Anyone else should be like 172% with those curios but are at 360% rn.
Really? Am I that dumb?
Wouldn’t it be 2+1.2+1.2+1.2?
Wait.
Which applies first? Lynchpin?
Or curios?
Syllogism help I’m bad at math
Otherwise Ogryns wouldn't be that much faster
Ogryn talent modifies the coherency multiplier ( which is normally 0, 50%, 75%, 100%)
It is another different multiplier, so 3.6 x 2
So, I’m dumb and not sure what perks to take. Usually i hang further back, taking out enemies with a staff, not a ton of options since im only level 16, any suggestions on what to do?
That doesn't tell us anything really. What kind of staff do you use?
Level 16 is pretty early for much to change
I usually have one that lets you lob the projectile like a grenade?
Big explosion when it hits
Voidstrike probably, if its a projectile
At your level I'd probably try Warp Absorption, Inner Tranquility, and Psychic Communion
Alright, I’ll try those all out, thanks a ton!
Also if you stand still you may regen toughness 3x faster, maybe depending on your weapon
3 x 7.2
Anybody notice that weapon skins prevent the lightning effect from force swords' secondsry attacks? Wondering if it's just me. I'll sunmit a bug report eventually, but haven't had time to document it all.
Are you thinking of vet's power sword? We only get a shimmer of warp on the force sword.
just a shimmer
I'm talking about the shimmer.
Ah, no just you then. My shimmer is working with the mortis skin
I equipped a skin and there was no light when I did the secondsry attack and I was thinking the attack had stopped working. Then I realized it was working but I had no visual indication because there was no glow.
Cool. I'll be sure to specify my skin in the bug report.
double check graphics options settings havent changed
mine reverted back to default the other day on its own
Can you replicate it in the meat grinder? Try with different skins?
he needs some shims
max out ragdoll count while your in there
makes the game just a little more fun
youll start to notice piles of bodies at funnel zones
I turned down ragdolls to like 8 without even playing default because of risk of rain 2 ptsd
never played brother

to put a face on the psykers voice
i finally got my first hood today! still haven't gotten the first penance one tho 🥲
i rock the blue striped suit
begh you still beat me out i aint got the real cash for yours
Imean its only the top piece I'm wearing but yeah
it's got a SKULL and everyone knows skulls immediately outclass everything
I personally need to save up and get the black top with only 1 Shoulder guard
does anybody think cosmetics actually have hidden buffs?
No
after i get the last legs in the set im gonna grind out that one. i wanna eventually buy out the whole shop
Have the trauma buffs changed any opinions on it?
striped suit is the most presentable lol
just picked this up from the shop, going to give it a go
i got bored and ground out every buyable in cosmetics
imma be honest i havent been able to test it out yet the only trauma staff i had was piss poor and i havent gone out of my way to buy a better one yet
Bold of you to assume I'd change my opinion on trauma over using a Purgatus or Surge

i switched from vet and i think burning a whole horde effortlessly is equally satisfying to using the plasma or bolter. it's an incredible feeling
When I play Vet. I'm a Helbore sniper
i use bolter or plasma primarily because they're just simply awesome to use
but helbore is very fun
Kantrael Mk XII is just such a good all-arounder. I let Zealot and Psyker handle the Ogryns
I tried out trauma over the weekend for the first time in a while because I got a new one. I don't think the patch was up, but holy cow! It was way more fun than I remembered!
Kantrael Mk XII and a Claw Sword Mk I
Keeps it simple and I don't have to fight people for ammo
in every shooter that has one I usually opt for the DMR option, XII feels real good but its too good
lasguns are cool but it's just not nearly as satisfying as the alternative
Same, Halo conditioned me to pick the DMR
Boltguns are too vicious on recoil for me to enjoy using
claw sword?! who do you think you are
Recoil is fun though
I'm actually lowkey upset they "nerfed" the recoil on braced autoguns
melta gun when
Power Sword is too clunky for me to use, plus it's weaker than a Claw Sword when uncharged
Devils claws are actually solid pick.
there was a leak we are supposed to get one actually
We were supposed to have three flavours of Force Sword too

i can grab the proof if you want
@wet jacinth
NICE
okay then im lying and you should never trust me
fuck outta here with that leprachaun riddle shit
Yeh, a Force Sword with sweeps. Hopefully it would also be a Deflector and have the warp charge
Are those pants part of the new cosmetics?
Covenant Mk VIII Blaze Force Greatsword
I heard they released one more set but I havent seen em
dunno if they're still avail
yeah see, what do you do with a 2 handed force sword to make it feel different
More sweeping attacks
more cleave for sure
the pants were part of a $ package, the top and hood are from the in-game coin NPC
but if the alt fire is the same idea then its just a better verison of the standard then
they go great together tho
I think a Force Glaive that would act similarly to the Power Sword would be cool
off hand las pistol
i'd rather dual axes

unironically
Change the First Target bonus of the one-handed Force Swords to Penetration or Critical Bonus
Rager Ping
not like they're all that great anyways
if rager was a class i'd hop on board
Then give the Force Greatsword First Target instead of Cleave Damage
it's always cleave or finesse i think
moveset like grail knight sword in vt2 would be nice
I was just thinking that
psyker should be ELEGANT
I need to play VT, only put like 20 hours in lol
Play Kerillian to Level 35, then put her on Waystalker when you NPC her
see I always viewed human psykers are more brutish in application
a force halberd i can swing like a sword would also be cool
It's more feature complete, but the gameplay structure is different enough I don't think you can call either better
like the custodes/grey knight style glaive but smol
No sprint but you're running at top speed all the time, so that feels good
Compared to Darktide's 50/50 on melee and ranged, Vermintide 2 is like 80/20
I played a fair bit of one, don't know if a lot of mechanics changed
dual wield stave when?
I actually prefer having a faster jogging speed instead of sprinting
would enjoy a smaller force hammer
Surge and purge, for when you want the heretics to shake while they bake
are non nemisis force halberds a thing?
yes
there's multiple types of force weapons
Yeah, Nemesis Force Weapons are just beefed up Force Weapons for Grey Knights
that are used extensively
we need green weapons
In theory, any weapon you can think of could be constructed Force or Power
nice...
Power Fists for Ogryn would be zawesome
scythes
lol so psyker shouldve had them damit!
like there's countless psykers with unique variant weapons too
would be cool if we had tox weapons introudced to some classes
baby carriers *
which is just hilarious
force fist would be dope
force spoon
i refuse to say dreadknight or baby carrier
fair lol
imperial guard also has power fists
Teen Titan
really, we get two
a staff and a sword
so anyone could get it :D
which is somewhat uncommon
Didn't the Psyker in the trailers have a Power Sword?
How many weapons can we actually keep in our inventory in total?
ideally I'd like to see a hammer for anti armor, and 2h sword for cleave, and maybe some third thing for idk reach?
deff a force hammer
Force Glaive or Force Halberd like Kerillian and Kruber
ogryns talk alot about pirates i think they should get a sword
Force Greatsword would be a blend of Force Sword and Force Halberd
ogryn pirate cutlass
on the topic of force weapons
beast of nurgle should take more damage from alt fire change my mind
why do you say?
alt fire dnt do enough damage to bosses for sure
I have played one heresy game with the trauma staff now and can say that it actually feels pretty good
it's like a mix between void and surge, aoe stun (through knockback) and horde clear
i agree but im curious why bon specifically
thats nice! im glad you enjoyed it :D
shooters power sword does seem to do alot
well its a daemon, which are suppose to really get walloped by force weapons
would only feel rt if force did also
That sounds reasonable
has anyone gotten this,if so,how?
throneside espionage, the interrogator before the elevator
a wave of 5+ gunners will spawn each time the interrogator goes down
thx
I got pick'n'mix in comms plex 2f finale room
just picking off random gunners and a trapper
though not sure the trapper counted
turbo brain boost is good
just let your group know that you are doing this challenge as well
yeah you definitely want kinetic barrage
or the vets are likely to pick them off
if you start from 0% peril, cast one normal brain burst, then F, you can cast 5 more before even needing to quell once
and all 5 will be fast
the last one will literally start at 97%, it's very neat and tidy
should be easier now with the improved bb targeting than it was
If anyone wants to see an example of getting "Going Out With A Bang" here's me finally getting it
only good use for trauma 
ah yes this is definitely a reasonable penance you would never struggle to achieve
I got lucky
fr
But you can see from the clip I should have gone over 100% like several seconds earlier
it should AT LEAST one shot all non-ogryn/monstrosity enemies
I got lucky the ragers didnt knock me down
shouldnt have to get lucky smh
I wish they would increase the damage of suicide
too many times it doesnt do enough damage

make it one shot everything save for monstrosities but you go straight to the shadow realm when it happens 
Imo it should one shot everything that isnt a mauler or the ogryns/ monstrosities
it one shots everything in the game but spawns a daemonhost (:
That would also be lore accurate

im fine ditching the lore in this case 😅
Even Ogryns should just die. Going down is bad.
psyker griefing class fr
Might be a bit too strong then, then again im not against it since sienna overload was pretty damn strong in vermintide
i didnt play VT2 but wasnt sienna the worst character?
quite the opposite actually
Sienna was horrible low tier because she was more of a dot damage dealer in alot of cases
in high difficulty, a good sienna literally will do all of the teams damage put together x2-3 in some cases
She was squishier than everyone else and you had to manage her version of peril but she was either specced toward horde control or elite sniping. Her weapons set fire to huge swathe of enemies and staggered like a boss
there is one staff in particular that makes the highest difficulty look like easy mod iirc
Conflag iirc
I though it was coruscation or somethign like that
ah yea
coruscation, beam, bolt
i think those were the main ones
beam was monstrosity killing machine, bolt sniped elites, coruscation which burned everything that ran through it and could be stacked
god these penances are stupid af
what clown thought making penances that require you to play suboptimally was a good idea
The same one that decides that Psyker needs a nerf every month
which penance?
steve in accounting thought it would be funny
just don't do them
but FUNNY CLOTHES
I’ve gotten malleus monstronum before out with a bang
penances are the only way to get above average clothing without paying real cash
I don’t have any of them.
Out with a bang sucks

So much of it is asking for favours lol
or just cheesing the stupid game in some way
this is the real reason they are made to be very hard to get...so you'll spend cash
probably. i wouldnt put it past them
Weirdly enough, Fatshark didn't put in Heresy penances as Steam achievements
I wonder what the completion stats look like for those
probably sub 2% imo

the heresy penances are so much easier than out with a bang though
I guess they are locked behind people having to play heresy difficult but one is at least do able by just playing the game normally
and monstrous is just having patient teammates
my biggest issue is that most o fthem require you to play badly to succeed
well they kinda designed it to be done with a premade team anyway
or tell randoms if you're solo queueing, at the very least
Hello. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to reroll on this staff?
im thinking about replacing elites w/flak
Reroll it into crit tbh
Oh really? Is crit that important on purg?
I dont doubt it, this is just the first im dipping my toes into optimizing psyker stuff
Crits apply double the stacks of soulblaze
Ahhhhh
^
that makes sense
Cool cool ty
I'll do that then
damn lucky I got warp nexus then lol
rolled 8 max crit damage in a row lol
hadron pls
Anyone here have experience with 6 stacks of soulblaze as your ultimate/lvl 30 choice? Does it do work or only on certain difficulties?
it does work even on damnation, especially with purgatus
cleans a group of shooters with enough stacks
if you don't mind the whole warp charges maintaining thing then it's good
can someone help with penance of killing Monstrosity? I can tank for you too if u help me
muh warp charges 
try lfg channels if no one answers here
"oh, you have 6 charges after a horde and nothing to use it on now? ha ha say goodbye to all your stacks soon"
we really need to force these devs to spam damnation with psyker lol
Still a highly credible conspiracy
It's the only way they can play on Malice difficulty probably
ogryns close 2nd main if based on the recent patch
that toughness regen do be zooming
More credible that the devs just cannot into math
It'd be neat if they had the other VAs from other classes stream some gameplay too
Given how much of the Ogryn was broken on release
Two interesting trauma staves that appeard in my shops just now.
Cliffhanger still has its pre-buff achievement requitements for steam,
I'm really interested in blazing spirit, but I don't want to spend marks until I find one with tier 4 blazing spirit.
Low charge rate is really bad on Trauma fwiw
Seems like it got updated, and I definitely never knocked over 20 people before launch
@maiden wolf
Psyker was definitely buffed. With a sander.
FYI, you need 76 burn to apply the maximum possible soulblaze stacks. Each stack is a pretty significant jump in damage, so the difference between 14 and 15 is notable.
Not saying not to use the staff, but you may want to keep an eye out for another staff if you like purge
the first good thing melk has given me
TB any good after update? i wanna try this guy out
it's good, use it
t4 transfer peril makes the B+ rolls worth it
terrifying barrage is good too
good to know ty
anyone have any news on the armory chrome extension?
Once again Melk fails me on all 4 classes
Is this worth the melk bucks?
id say yeah if you are not keen on a force sword
I am not really keen on the force sword >.>
reroll melee to flak, and then hope for no limbsplitter
On a side note: How are these stat rolls, for this force sword?
losing finesse sucks but it's good overall
descent. sucks low finesse, as its way better to roll low mobility with infinite dodges on the FS
would've preferred lower mobility or warp resistance
Oh, I just noticed that it had infinite effective dodges after you said that. I never noticed that, before. <.<
you have the most important stats for sniping big guys, which is what i mostly use force sword for
I just found the new go-to ranged weapon, for my psyker!

with the 80% stopping power I can stop... a poxwalker! 😮
🤯
And maybe even... a groaner!
whats the different between a poxwalker and a groaner?
One has a backpack and hoodie, I think
which one?
So, uh, which dueling sword is better? :/
The one that doesn't look like it has horrific plagues literally deforming it.
if i were you id keep the right one but im not good with minmaxxing so i might be stupid
fair enough
I own both. I think I bought the right one since it looked like an upgrade.
too poor on plasteel atm xD
well that's the darktide endgame experience
I kinda figured that out, since I have all 4 characters at level 30 xD
play easier difficulties they drop plasteel much more
But I want the fat l00t(coinz) 😭
I'm okay with this. :3
Ever notice that extra 10 plasteel at the end of missions? Yeah, that was me.
:3
Usually most of the plasteel I find. <.<
Since I am a loot goblin
Question: If you already got a purple curio to free rerolls... couldn't you change the free perk to something you don't want, to lessen the chances of getting something you don't want? >.>
Like changing it to +#% experience, so you can't get that when you upgrade it to orange
But then you'd probably get stuck with something like ordo dockets
I dont see why not, but it's probably a bad idea to reroll a curio that isnt orange
Maybe, but, that's at least useful when you're spending all of them... unlike exp
Spending all of them...yeah, sure, I spend all of my dockets
I legit have no dockets on any of my 4 level 30 characters, asside from my zealot xD
I... I like testing out weapons, sometimes. <.<
Playing more with the trauma on damnation, I actually hate it again
not enough killing, not enough knockback
I've at least seen one use that on heresy... I can't remember how well they did, tho.
the situation I liked at first was the ability to knock down whole squads of shotgunners instantly
but it needs too much charge to do it on reaction
What loot do you get from higher difficulties?
nothing
Cuz that's also not at all a reason to even play this game
it's just fun
Sorry it was in reference to this strange remark.
You get so much less out of the game sweating on damnation or even heresy
Heresy is more comfortable really
I think, maybe, a very slightly higher chance of higher quality stuff... but that's probably bs, since I got an orange item from a sedition run
Malice is breezy
the problem is you're banking on emperor's gifts when those aren't even guaranteed to happen at all
so you're spinning your wheels more often than not
I have more fun. If the game is too boring it can't hold my attention very well, since I have adhd.
This is not a game I'd suffer through with that but more power to ya. Fun is more valid than any other reason
but the loot? Nah, brah, that shit's dogpiss
Hopefully that changes at some point
cuz I'd really rather be getting my gear from missions
dopamine addiction is a terrible thing
