What country do you live in where you're waking up now?
That explains it. I rarely meet SEA residents who type English
oh, we're a lot more common than you think, but obviously not as much as NA/EU
also i'll just say this straight up, saying heavy sword is weak vs hordes compared to other melee is definitely a hot take lmao
the low quality makes that more amusing
IKR
it's The Guy
LOL
Kid named Protagonists:
got this in my psyker's shop. FS is making fun of me
Most of my weapons are rifles or other joke weapons.
Hahaha... all hail the RNGprah
i hate curios so much
How about an Autogun? Or 12 Autoguns!?
gachatide is real
yesterday i blessed the same thing. -> +15 curiosity drop.
me: okay, all in. give me another blessing
hadron: +6% xp
Fantastic.
Curios are not impactful enough to have a strong opinion over, I will never understand that.
I just dont know what anyone expects out of them.
They're basically gravy, they're built like "take what you get" kinda gear so just...
being upset it's notsomething else is weird.
You can roll the one really useless thing off it
There's take what you can get and then there's get something or get nothing
that was my view before the patch, now it's my view on the non toughness regen text on them
the rest is pretty marginal QoL stuff
and marginal is definitely better than the straight up no text rolls, sure
but barely lol
The toughness regen is a clear unintentional thing doomed to be changed and piss many people off
So you can set yourself up for that disappointment all you like
For me? I'll just focus on the main stats and take what rolls on it otherwise (except exp)
in every game I play in the current patch
I'll build for the next patch when we have it
imagine testing the toughness regen speed fix before releasing the update
There are way more dead rolls than just xp
would it have hurt the devs to play the game once with the changes they plan to make lol
Only because you're sweaty
Well all my curios have free swappable perk.
I'm personally waiting on the revive speed bug that lets people insta-rez people. Block out the daemonhost kill
just gotta roll and roll..
Yeah the toughness regen is absolutely stupid with ogryn rn
again, they're not so big a deal you can even brick a fuckin curio
the dead rolls are a tax on your patience more than anything
waste of plasteel and/or time
Yeah its weird
My psyker is struggling to amass plasteel
But my still-leveling zealot has so much I can literally force at least one BiS weapon on him when I hit 30
All because I'm not spending it at all
the devs only play malice, hence why they don't see plasteel as a problem
I'm pretty sure they just expected their numbers to be less off
It was clearly intended for Diarmantine to be the choke
And you'd wanna go up in difficulty to farm it more effectively
But the amount of plasteel we get out of runs just isn't supporting that
I think this is true, but a pretty baffling mistake to make
it would be so easy to make the max obtainable quantity of each match (or mismatch lower and scale up to match higher) the ratio hadron costs
We still coping about toughness regen speed?
Honestly you may as well roll it it'll still be good when it's fixed
i honestly dont mind that it's busted rn lol
and yeah i'll most likely keep it after it gets fixed
I feel like psyker should be able to get 3 BBs off ngl
That's my only input after my limited psyker playtime
just edge tzeentch
you won't blow up unless you start it above 97
Good to know
such a weird blessing combo. 
These penances are fuckin dogshit huh
you can get 3 BB off? the max i can get off with my build is like... 6 if i remember?
Kinda good in theory? Prevents suppression so you can keep reliably hitting HS
I was responding to the person new to the class, not assuming feats
Y'all know ghost doesn't work how it says yeah?
It's more like Camo expert. You're not literally immune to ranged fire things just choose not to shoot at you while it's active
it took me about a week to finish all of the Psykers Penance other then the 250 missions. im only at 62 missions total.
Literally level 3 psyker rn
Ya boy just trynna get a staff
that's what I figured, later if you feel like it you can get way more if you decide to tranquility+battery+kinetic barrage etc
if you're having trouble with the hound one its best to quick brain burst not full charge, the push one just use your push on Vigil station oblivium.
the small bridge at the end makes it super easy to push enemies off.
the hound one I find it as one of the ones that you can do on accident
I honestly haven't even started the penances, can't play on malice+ with em yet
these two penance on this map where the 4-5 gunners/shotgunners spawn in when protecting the console thingy in the middle of the mission.
I imagine the hard one is 90 percent damage on a boss
out with a bang I got on my vet
the 90% damage to a Monstrosity isnt all that hard its just you need a team that wont shoot the boss and will protect you or draw its attention.
Plasma?
that one's easy provided you have a group that will let you
Yeah, suppose most penances are group oriented
I got all vets solo
But that's cause vets, imo, are just "Git gud"
the most annoying penance ever is "Heavyweight Champion"
a lot of the ones that would be cancerous for vet just happen to lend themselves more to solo or quasi solo cheesing
I see a group of 6 ogryn once or twice a day, especially on high int
killing yourself to maintain perfect accuracy etc
I did em legit
Took me 4 days for MESC
I enjoy the challenge
Vets penances be like "Channel your inner Ollanius Pius" and kill them better
Also tbh you can also reconnect to a game to cheese some achievs
oh man, you can't tell me FartShart didn't lower passive quell on melee weapons too
Psyker was too overpowered… I mean just look at their ability to BB
the enemies should get the chance to dodge the BB pop to keep it more fair
psyker staves dont use ammo, gotta nerf it
bulwarks should be able to block brain burst with their shield
gaining peril also adds corruption
Blowing yourself up should turn you into a demonhost
right at the beginning of the open beta I was expecting it o
I'd honestly prefer if triggering a Perils explosion just gave us the wound/corruption instead of killing us outright.
Not like the explosion damage is worth a damn anyways -_-
thats your punishment for exceeding 100 peril
the explosion was never meant to do shit
that penance should be removed so people dont expect it to do anything
They likely were trying to bring this into the game.
Technically its possible for the Psyker to survive the explosion.
Losing a wound worth of health to corruption is enough of a punishment.
Especially in a world where input lag can be at fault.
Like hitting max perils, and attempting to switch to melee, but the game doesnt register the switch before you click again or even just good old actual weirdness when your BB target dies and the game just keeps charging on a new target instead of cancelling the charge so you blow up when it hits instead of just capping peril.
why does purg suppress gunners in the psykhanium but not games?
nah a wound is not enough
Then bnalance it out and have Plasma guns kill Veterens outright too /shrug
it does
Interesting. I dont have a vet and i never see vets with it. So didnt know it could 😛
As far as i knew, it just dealt a bit of health damage.
well it doesnt kill them it downs then
unless theyre on their last wound then yea dead
It drains health if you manual vent
So if anything perils is actually more forgiving
Both kill you if you overheat
Still, Strange interpretation of the self wounding effect of both plasma and perils.
Both effects in TT just infliuct a wound, if the unit has enough wounds they can survive it.
I ran a duelling sword with +1 stamina today, I think I'llgo for that perk on all my future DS'
It improves kinetic deflection block and you can sprint 50% longer AFAIK
they just copied sienna's overheat from vt2
its the same thing exceed 100 = explode and down
to u yea
Dwarf's overheat did more damage,.
and for a long time, damage reduction would stop you dying from overheating since it was only based on your max hp.
see, every person has an opinion on what elite is 😄 this game is something else
elites are gunner (shotgun and regular), orgyns, maulers and ragers, and maybe snipers
specialists are the other taggable enemies
typically they have an audio tell
I find it quite humorous that the 20 headshot chain penance works for just brainbursting as psyker
the main issue is that somethings that say they effect elites, effect both elites and specialists and vice versa
snipers are specials
Everything that's in a group together in meat grinder is special
Everything else taggable is elite
sub 30s in high intensity heresy here we go
the great thing is opinions don't matter, just facts
there are only a handful of specials, and they all get spawned by the AI director, never pre-placed in the level with groups
Yeah it's really not that complicated
Yeah this is probably where most of the confusion comes from
Again the meat grinder even groups them nicely for you
Hell yeah brother
trauma's best perks: flak/maniac like usual?
no perks fix trauma's real problem
I think trauma has a pretty high crit chance, so crit stuff might be good too
it doesn't
no increased crit chance with trauma, has the psyker's base crit chance of 5%
and the crit damage multipliers are straight garbage
Infested if you want to reliably one shot poxwalkers on Damn regardless of warp charges
Flak probably best secondary perk
Anyone know of any news since the last update?
Apart from the stealth nerf to deflector, no.
They are cooking up more nerfs for the next patch
It's nerf or nothing
Honestly, the usefulness of Purgatus should be the baseline that the other staves are brought up to.
i dunno, purge and flamer are really doing to the jobs of at least 2 people
I'd be surprised if there's another patch this week
Next week decently likely
Pray it finally brings the rest of crafting
And yes flamers are broken
But I'd hope they nerf Zealot's before Purge
Yeah, Zealot has way more options
Zealot in no way needs flamer to be that good
Purge doesn't have the same insane range or boss melt
Which is not a terrible trade for infinite ammo and much less down time
But it feels less offensive to me
I kinda disagree Purg effectiveness needs to be baseline though
Surge and Trauma both feel good to me
Void I just don't like, and don't use, so can't really comment on its effectiveness
I tried pretty hard to like the void but it just can't kill anything that's spread out
TBH for what Void does I'd probably rather just have a gun
But again I never use it so I'm a bad judge of it I'm sure
Get a smart team, Void obliterates hordes.
Get a normal rando team sctatered to the four corners of a map, Void obliterates your sanity instead.
Does Void do decent single target?
Is it practical for killing elites and specials with?
It's definitely not that simple. In a finale or mid mission event you can just have guys coming from too many angles. There aren't always going to be choke points to funnel them through or will be impractical to use a chokepoint
Also yeah, it sucks at killing elites and specials
I see
Lot easier when a smart team stays together to draw everything to one location, not necessarily specifically to funnel everything all the time.
Gets kinda irritating when the team enters a large roomn and instead of moving forward together .. They instantly scatter XD
Gotta get them mats bro
I'm not even being sarcastic TBH
Fucking mat grind is real
gotta love that 35 plasteel after clearing baross t5
I dunno, i'm not going to tell anyone that they're wrong for liking void but in my experience the fire rate is just too low to deal with most open room areas that most events take place in
I have legit seem many a team walk straight past plasteel sitting next to a crate or under a stair lol
They'll run all over opening yellow boxes and then miss the drops right in front of them XD
I legit feel a bit annoyed when team is rushing Heresy and we end up getting like 80 plasteel instead of 200
Like bros checking some corners doesn't double the mission length
But rushing does halve our gains
imagine if chests have guaranteed plasteel instead of being empty lol
Just my opinion is all. I find Voidstrike does a lot of good work when the team is sticking together.
Id rather they have guaranteed emp gifts XD
tbh I think this would be worse, since people would feel more compelled to open every chest
I would rather empty chests just didn't spawn
aka emperor's secondhand stuff
I want mat rewards for mission completion scaling with difficulty
I'd rather not be too rewarded for scouring a level frankly
that's how it should be
find ammo in bins, crafting mats be rewards based on what you did in-mission
kill a boss? extra.
find all grims? extra.
But not DH
it's not fucking rocket science
Since they're designed to be avoided
of course DH
But other bosses for sure
well it is more ideal to just have the mats as rewards
I do like that the current system functionally gives scaling rewards for progress
Especially DH IMO.
instead of being all or nothing
Making DH drop mats is entirely counter to its design
but is it really likely that they'll remove the lootable mats? considering there's many shit in the game that they missed
also, if damnation gave notably more plasteel than heresy, it would encourage people to play above what they're able to
Lootable mats can stay, but majority should come just from completion of mission
oh, definitely
im just saying
with their track record
lol what else to expect
it kinda does
Ideally you tweak it so when considering average player loss rate and time to complete mission Heresy is roughly optimal farm for most
Don't pollute Damn with people trying to get carried for rewards
Yeah but people may not look at it and consider failure rate into the equation
honestly, lootable mats need to go
pretty big jumps almost 100
it slows down mission runs greatly
damn, 310? apparently I suck at looting
this is the max i got once
I'd prefer it if they did too, it's just not my primary issue with the economy
I kinda doubt every map always spawns the maximum
What is this chart actually measuring? An actual maximum specified to distribute around the level? Or max observed by a player testing?
no idea but i assume its max in the level
It gets them mega hard
If its randomizing with an upper cap only, You are actually better off spam running the lowest, because you could easily get a bad luck string and spend multiple 30+ minute runs and the map just decides to only give you 20
Depends how big the range is really
Yeah no way the range is that big
most of my silo cluster runs end with 20 plasteel
skill issue
I havent done much at damnation, but i have had heresy runs with literally zero plasteel, despite me poking my nose everywhere (To the point of getting abandoned by the t eam constantly)
due to getting shredded going down that staircase
that doesnt sound right at all
And yet .. It happens
i dont believe you
Yeah I also don't believe zero plasteel is possible
like if it did, something had to have gone wrong somehow
Its onlyt happened twice. But many of my heresy runs come ou t with less than 50 plasteel
I like the idea of rewarding beating a DH in the mission
either in level generation or connection to the server not loading it clientside or something
But, you'd have to make those motherfuckers raidbosses in order to discourage just being a dick
ur team just sucks
Make it so the DH takes concerted effort and cooperation to beat. at all
Right now they just take someone able to hold up to them long enough lol
Considering i often watch them walk past plasteel spawns, yes i'd agree.
But i also posit that there are spawn bugs that crop up occasionally.
besides the shield ogryn, i feel like DH already does require that.
DH is basically a DPS check.
Well this would require a pretty sturdy rework of them
But they're not too far off from that in general
It's a dps check, a team coordination check, and a dodging check
not to any meaningful degree
I'm just saying putting too much incentive on actually fighting them would just cause pugs to hunt them down and get clapped for no reason
again unless you have a shield ogryn
And I'm sorry, I'm not dealing with that
but I'd LIKE them to be rewarding to engage with
Y'know, risk/reward
There's room for it
Most DH caused failures result from the team just abandoning whoever triggered it when it would have been easier for teh team to just kill it.
That's assuming they know how
There's phases of it that it doesn't seem to take damage at all
And while I know how they work now, I sure as shit didn't before
Plus, that also requires good damage
There's a lot of variables at play you can't expect out of a pug
I have never had a DH wipe a team with all 4 players fighting. Its always when one of more of the team hides instead of engaging
I actually discovered once that the DH will straight up despawn if you tank it long enough
Sometimes there are other things going on that need dealt with. Also, not every setup will even allow you to tank a DH
^^^
like a veteran with a power sword would stand no chance whatsoever.
This game is entirely too frantic for that sometimes
Like, I know how this sounds in general. Not focusing down anything at all leads to stagnant ideas.
But things are such a crapshoot even on Malice so often that I'd rather an rng element not run the risk of just ruining the experience for folks that can't game with premades
Malice never gets too frantic for coordinate team effort
never
honestly, balancing the game around Malice is stupid
Excuse me but not everyone is going to play up to your standard
it's not about playing to my standards
You're saying that from the perspective of someone that's presumably good at the game and not someone that needs to be playing on malice
have fun, go nuts, enjoy Malice
but the balance needs to accomodate people playing heresy+
I've had enough failures and near-misses in malice to know that making DH spawns too heavily incentivized would be too much of a headache for randos
Balancing for Damnation wont even change how Malice plays out tbh lol
I don't want to fucking deal with that, so I'd rather hedge the potential for things to just go utterly south
that's all I'm advocating for
So no reason to focus on Malice for balance purposes. Making it so all classes reaosnably equal in Damnation makes them definitely equal for lower content.
Well no, but malice is my comfort zone. It was mostly just an example
I've had too many bad runs on that difficulty
and there's nothing wrong with that - but balancing the game around your comfort zone isn't the right approach
If I can have bad shit happen on that one in pug, herecy+ is a fucking lost cause lmao
the game needs to be balanced against the highest difficulty
and let everyone enjoy doing what the fuck ever they want below that
Well the highest difficulty also needs to not be dogshit
So lets take this one step at a time
honestly, damnation isn't dogshit
in a coordinate, communicating team
but you can't bring bullshit gear and builds into damnation
what
how are u gonna play with other players if it wasnt online lol
????
I'm all for people being able to play by themselves, but this genre lives on players playing together
Just wait until they let you do private solo runs then i guess?
so you just wanna play with bots against bots?
I just want to not be considered second class because I have no gaming clique.
you aren't second class
you can pug damnation
you're just alone
wdym second class
You couldn't pay me to pug damnation
the game has to be balanced against full groups of players
you have access to everything anyone has
Nvm, I don't think I'm being clear enough.
it honestly sounds like you're just bitter that you don't feel comfortable playing above Malice
And I haven't the words to explain my mindset
I'm comfortable enough on Heresy actually, I just don't like how damnation feels
and that's clearly not anyone else's concern so It's just going to feel like shit
i mean thats fine but how is that second class
it's fine to dislike this genre of game, but I don't think it's reasonable to balance said game around that preference
Forget it
you dont need to enjoy damnation
just deciding a priori that you dislike damnation without ever having played it is kind of weirdge though
Do you really think I just dipped my toe in once and left it at that?
honestly, damnation can feel easier than heresy right now
something is still fucked up with heresy
My shit isn't strong enough to handle that and with the crafting material spread the way it is, I'm steering clear of it permanently
How so?
But it also doesn't incentivize going up that high.
I like high spawn rates over inflated health.
Doesnt damnation/heresy do both? Thats literally the problem with scaling that BB has lol
I like not having y entire toughness bar ripped off from pot shots from a gunner behind cover
Without concerted effort, I can't stand up to the chaos
I've noticed the same thing and put it down to different segments of the playerbase
That and my gear is all still quite mid
you're not expected to stand up to the chaos by yourself
you're supposed to work with your team
Heresy health is low enough that headshots kill most things.
No, i'm not but this is in a pug context
and that makes all of your complaints pointless
Damnation I need well rolled guns for that.
where you kinda do have to be able to for at least a little bit if shit goes wrong
because you'd have a very different perspective if you played with an actual group of people that you chatted and worked with
I'm not even talking about a regular group
just hit LFG and find some people that want to play heresy+ and be communicative
it really isn't that hard
this game has a lot of ui elements that streamline communication and teamwork in the ping system and wheel
the part where you take the effort to change your experience?
that's all on you, bub.
No the part where I rely on other people to make my experience better
he doesnt have to though
Least of all other people n the internet
you dont have to play damnation
Welcome to coop gaming...?
or heresy or malice
it's not "making your experience better", it's "an entirely different experience"
holy shit
with no fucking filters and a propensity for bigotry
I sure will not be doing that anymore
I've done it enough
what the fuck are you on about?
the average person isn't like that
Says you
yeah, says me
My experiences in general, and in this server predominantly, have spoken otherwise
thats fair enough if you dont wanna join lfg
and my 30 fucking years of playing games with other people
maybe his experience was different its fine
I've been playing games online since before being online was a common thing
and even if you look at more recent typical online behavior, sure you get the asshats, but the average person hates that behavior already
This all started because we wanted mats to be mission rewards.
and the community that forms around a game is heavily influenced by the target age group
If words on a screen can actually make you uncomfortable then I agree, you should probably not be online
it sounds like you just can't handle people
And all I wanted was to make sure daemonhosts were both properly rewarding and balanced to dissuade unprepared combat
No, no I cannot. And yet, I have to.
welcome to life
So I save that energy for when I have no choice
and not living in seclusion in a forest
it does dissuade unprepared combat rn doesnt it
Barely
and DH already dissuade unprepared groups
But right now wasn't the context I was working around
as it'll kill half the party if you aren't ready
any good?
can can dissuade further by votekicking people that wake them without saying anything in chat beforehand if you want
Warp Resist sucks to be that low, but is otherwise pretty solid
most people do it by accident and theyre already punished by dying for it lmao
Crit is usually the most suggested perk for it
why did u keep stamina btw
yeah I'm wondering what the other was that made you want the stam
It was either that or 18% crit
18% crit?
I don't think that's a thing
yeah it's not
range crit damage
8%
isn't that 10 for tier 4?
yea thats pretty shit too
i'd probably have stuck with ranged crit damage since your relative stamina now regens slower, and it's better to run with your BB out imo
but that's just a minor nitpick
you melee weapon has to be pretty sad if you're not running with that out
FS :(
dang
80% mobil but having 6 bars with BB out over 3 seems to be better
and BB run speed isn't too bad
I havent found a real weapon to combo it with
but my relative stamina regens extremely fast with FS out
found a weapon to combo with FS, or do you mean the purg?
with purge
dude im new to this whole side of darktide
I dunno whats good with what
five nights at freddys jumpscare
I prioritize sprint speed over max stamina when sprinting personally, FS is still faster sprint on a decent mobility roll
if I'm running from a horde, I'd run with my FS out
I'm stacking sprint eff on all my curios, so I do get some decent mileage out of it
especially since our regen is so fast
I enjoy sprint efficiency too
I like it more than all of the damage reduction perks honestly
it's certainly something that you're going to be using a lot rather than against the occasional snipers/gunners and whatnot
i like the comfy-ness of not being at 0 stamina when I run somewhere
what do u guys mean when saying relative regen
I was just referring to the delay before regen being very short for our class
stamina regens per bars
so if you have your staff out, the % of your stamina regens slowly
but if you swap to a weapon with less stamina bars, your % remains the same, and your stamina% will regen faster since there are less bars
we're punished less for just dumping the whole stamina bar over and over, whether that's on sprinting or push attacks
makes me really comfortable as the heavy-object carrier
spam push for days
esp with the guardbreak change on Kinetic Deflection
that was the one occasional drawback and it's gone ye
it was really annoying when I was pushing a horde and a stray bullet guardbroke me
then again that's specifically a deflector FS problem
and to answer this try antax mkv if you haven't
fs
I misunderstood, I thought you were looking for a melee weapon to use with purge
either that or he meant 'fs' in terms of 'for sure'
funny ambiguity because of the force sword's acronym
he means fatshark
damn forgot about that one
O
Wiling to bet they dont because they know it annoys you 😛
I'm fixing to jump on and do some electric wizard if a new update has been released, I'm piliph
I usually just run combat blade or duelling mk V
I have 1 stamina curio and then stamina regen on a couple of my curios
it just does everything
yeah it's a good thing it feels so nice to use
I'd want to use it anyway
always a treat when the fun thing and the effective thing are the same thing
That’s heresy
Combat Axe is boring.
duelling sword gang
Too slow IMO
Its slow, its mobility requires a good roll to not feel awful too
But you can get around the slow attacks with macros, good luck having those work with the input dropping though

What's up with the macro spam you using 😂 I am clearing Damnation fine with no macros
vanessa a min charge void spam macroer confirmed
I do miss like half my staff shots because of it so lol
I only use it to spam the primary, sorry to disappoint
I keep getting asked if I use macro by people who cant do it even without macro.
Gotta love quickplay.
Load finishes, Spawn into map: a full sqaud of scab shooters at poijnt blank range while standing in overlap[ping bomber fire fields next to a bleeding out teammate while the other 2 are dead further the map lol
I love it when I join as they finish up the last section and get all the rewards for 2 minutes of play
Funniest part is that it was only the first section past the start of the map lol
petition to be able to brainburst that one teammate in prison pajamas who keeps killing the goon im trying to maintan stacks on
If you press R right after you shoot with the Primary shot it resets the delay and you can shoot faster.
So basically you combo that with a macro which makes it easier to do so.
(R = whatever button you reload/quell on)
Gotcha! Didn't know that!
your cheat
Altho primary fire spam is poop except for purge
The suppression does wonders. It's no gun but its nothing to sneeze at either. You'd probably kill more reliably with BB but for normal scrubs it does save peril to use the primary instead. It also staggers a surprising amount when you're using the quell spam technique.
Also swoosh swoosh
This
Git gud
veteran main spotted
Actually I play Psyker the most atm.
But I used to play Zealot the most.
Veteran is too boring.
This I absolutely agree, my friend loves vet, just not my jam overall.
I think Vet is absurdly powerful if you do it right but it kind of feels like doing chores.
And their stamina situation makes them feel so awful for anything that requires not clicking heads.
cant u just stack stam regen curios and become godly
Idk I don't play Vet
stam regen curio doesn't help with the regen delay
Stacking stamina regen and "fixed" (somewhere in few months) +3 Stamina curios - might be the new way for Psykers, i mean with x2 innate Stamina regen.. it should be something
Today i learned of existence of T4 Blessing for Power Sword - Power Cycler. Ultra-rare even in Melk shop.....
ive been checking since day 1
havent seen one
Probably it's a cash shop blessing by initial design with lowest possible spawn rate outside cash shop. And they simply forgot to change that
At this point i believe that they might gone that low - by putting chunks of crafting system in cash shop
I have not seen 360+ Power Hammer for my Shouty even once.
Its just luck
where did you get this info?
The weapon system is shit
curious
Veteran chat early on, so like take it with a grain of salt
Have you seen the PS blessing that makes it ignore armor on weapon special?
oh god lol
But I don't think anyone's seen it show up on a less then 360 sword
It's not good
Yes, but is it also T4 only
it is but i want one for my collection
For the record I mean weapon_trait_bespoke_powersword_p1_pass_past_armor_on_weapon_special not Supercharge
Seems like a good idea to me then.
Not sure what the name of the blessing is
It's a unique one, I doubt it's rending
I don't remember ever hearing about or seeing a totally negation
Based on the code it's also T4 only
Maybe it's just that rare
Can't wait for the quell cancel to get patched out.
but maybe you can't actually get it
Or unimplemented
It's implemented. Looks like it might just let you cleave through armor rather than completely ignoring it
I think it's the same effect as ignore armor on weapon crit that some weapons get
I'm trying to find it
Listed on a website or something
Cannot but I might be looking at it wrong
It's on a few but they also only have the identifier used in the code
Combine00's perk/blessing guide has it as pass_past_armor_on_weapon_special
I call this the "id rather be playing zealot" build
-Heal on warp charge
-killing elite with warp charge burns nearby enemies
-chance to gain warp charge whenever you or nearby ally kills enemy
-blocking with melee builds peril instead of stamina
-chance to brain burst on hit
Run a maccabian sword for its impressive damage and cleave,
Run either infantry autogun or accatran lasgun of your choice
Brain burst your stacks then swap to melee to build up and maintain stacks while killing hordes, brain bursting far off enemies when you need to maintain stacks and generally rushing forward whenever possible.
Gun isnt too important, but sometimes you need to pick off stray gunners before they melt your toughness and full auto guns pair well with chance to brain burst on hit.
Dont use a staff because im pretty constantly hovering in the high peril ranges to maintain stacks and so I cant reliably use the staff to pick of gunners.
The constant refreshing of toughness regen on random warp stacks in the middle of horde melee has made me surprisingly durable.
All three of my blessings are +HP%
Would i run on it on T5? Absolutely not
Have I had more fun with this build than any meta psyker build on T3? Hell yea
Not ot trash on your build.
But Wreck and Ruin is horrible.
At least I think that's the 10-3 feat.
Not that there's much options for you in that tree with that playsyle I guess.
But yeah
Running meme builds is fun.
I'm going to run this in Damnation tonight for you my sibling.

I did do two runs on Psyker in Damnation without feats
And it was surprisingly basically the same game but slower
I swear the first row of feats is what makes Damnation gameplay the easiest for Psyker, toughness regen issues are hard.
I don't understand how to play Psyker on Damnation, Purg and Surge both had huge flaws with them that your team has to cover and if they're not you just lose
Its like I got no carry potential
Bring a gun.
Unironically.
Use BB, get toughness on Quell.
BB twice, swap to gun
Shoot things.
Purge is great but every time I bring it we have 2 flamers

what are you struggling with in general
The biggest upside of Purge is that your other nerds should be taking the time you delete everything in melee to be useful
But they usually just go in and swing at the horde
I'd rather they sit AFK and look for specialists
Holes that I can't fill, like if theres no vet on the team and I'm running purg whelp, bout to get shot to pieces all game, or I'm running surg and theres a shield ogryn and its like 2/4 of the team are not killing anything
BB everything.
If no one has a gun I'm BBing around corners
Until there's no guns left
Run knife with surge and just melee it down after stunning it once. Or BB
well you can run kinetic barrage even with purgatus, or hit AB 5-6 stacks for shooters
Purge suppresses hard as well though.
I am running mk 5 C.axe with it with brutal mom so I could just cleave through what was stunned
Going to have to use heavies against a bulwark
the push attack takes forever to kill one
or just slide back and bb bulwarks if you're getting pressured
nice thing about psykers is you have some way of dealing with almost any situation, even rescuing vs shooters before they fucked up deflector
but obviously you do it slower/less dps compared to the dps classes
oh i never liked FS anyway
I was having fun with duelling sword kinetic deflector but uh, yeah
It is good
oh.
Yeah this is very much how I view Psyker. Swiss army knife of the party
at least when i run psyker on solo queue i feel like i can deal with most things without relying on teammate
Good luck
Tell me how it goes
But then a Vet with a mk XII and a Powersword joins the team and you're like "Well I guess I'm gonna be outclassed in every aspect"
sometimes when you solo queue ogryn for instance, and your vet is a dumdum who cant kill shooters? have fun
everytime there's a vet when i random queue i make sure that i always know their positioning at all times
because istg these random vets die to the most random things
I like when they chew their way into the horde cleaving and then get surrounded
Victims of their own success
Vet with 5 wounds going down to 3 poxwalkers. Name a more iconic duo
when i see vets wasting ammo on poxwalkers instead of looking for shooters/specialists i already know it's gonna be a hard time
I had someone try and tell me that each wound was 50 effective hp....
I wasn't trying to start another wounds debate. I've seen enough of those
and he wouldn't believe that thats not how it works at all lmao
@rocky cedar you mean like this? lol
Mostly just joking about PUG Vet trends
Its also 0 effective HP.
i like how other classes shit on vet
but to be fair most of the braindead ones seem to play vet
We jest
Some players play damnation with wound builds just to circle-farm revives 🙂
It's just funny how bad random Vets are with how much their class holds their hand
Honestly less annoying than a bad shield Ogryn though
that's why, going back to my previous point, i prefer psykers for solo queueing t5
even on high int i feel like im doing a lot of carrying even though i deal the least amount of damage
Yeah being extremely versatile is nice
When your vet has the plasma gun and a Tac axe and you think you're gonna see some next level plays and instead he dies during the first horde
imagine if we get scoreboards
then people start roasting psykers for low kills
bitch please we kept the whole team safe with surge/purge
Just knowing whatever weapons you bring snipers, Bulwarks and Crushers aren't going to be an issue is honestly so underrated
Last plasma Vet I saw ran to the opposite side of the event arena and almost immediately died to dog + flamer
It was honestly just perplexing
I've played with one that actually used it to wall elites
That's hype
And it was eye opening at how good it could be and how its not used properly lmao
Yet to see one like that
If I ever bother finishing levelling my Vet I'm probably gonna give Hellbore and Plasma a very solid go
Watch Zap and Smack and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Vet has some cool stuff
Idk if not channeling Surge works on Crushers
But you can very easily handle Bulwarks if there's nothing else in the way
Purgatus Psyker + Surge Psyker = GG to every melee encounter
I actually prefer Trauma over Surge but other than that
Hellbore is pretty fun, you get a good roll and not awful blessings and its an elite menace
While I think both Trauma and Surge have issues.
motherfu- game still not closing properly on steam
Trauma allowing me to actually hit what I want to hit
Instead of being blocked by 6 unarmored goons
Makes it more useful to me
Question: Health v Toughness as curios main attribute?
I’m leaning towards health personally, as toughness generally scales poorly with Psyker’s base toughness
I'm a big toughness stan
But it seems fairly debated here in Psyker land
One HP Two Toughness feels good to me if you want some Grim insurance
3x wound curios, you can roleplay as poxburster
max haich pee for me
in all seriousness, both works fine, i prefer hp
do you not like toughness
i like it as secondary perk on curio yea
I find +toughness has a point around +50 where it starts to feel really really good
But I do be running grims weeklies and I can't be assed changing curios a bunch
So have just stuck with 1 HP 2 toughness
Yes I'm aware
Toughness is better for normal operations.
Health is better for saving ur ass during oh shit oh fuck moments
Namely getting bad touched by fire.
HP with Toughness regen the current king?
toughness regen feels busted even at base toughness
If ur running perils -> toughness there is a solid argument for toughness + tou regen
i dont even feel my quietitude anymore
Yeah don't need a huge bar when its filling so fast
I probably wouldn’t be asking this question had it been easier to have a +grim corruption set of curios, and a regular Damnation set of curios
Thanks for the input though. I don’t have nearly enough materials on my Psyker to tinker with the curios heavily, although it’s good to know there are the good and the bad outcomes to each approach
One day we'll get shared curios... maybe
We need a new plaque for /r/Karktide wih Karktide written in same font as Darktide
It's instant 3.5k upvotes post
You mean 🇳 🇪 🇽 🇹 🇼 🇪 🇪 🇰™️
I love how they back under the rock with no communication save the patch notes for fixes
I played VT2 long enough to be not suprised by this LUL
VT2 we hit the summer break shortly after launch and it was pretty much the same situation
Breaks are sacred
1.0.24 just now: Fixed an issue where the Toughness Regeneration Speed from Curio bonuses incorrectly gave an extremely high regen speed. Buffed the Toughness Regeneration Speed Curio values for all tiers.
Toughness regen goes up to +30% on curio now
It’s over boys.
Unless they tweaked the formula, it's probably still best in slot
yeah it's up
On the forums
is it 25 for tier 3 regen speed now?
damn thats the only patch note
weird
While I do think this is a change that was needed, I’m a little annoyed all these fixes are coming out but we are still getting shot through the floor on that one map lol.
nerftide
this one took like 30 seconds to fix
And few days to deliver 
Granted there are a lot of similarly easy fixes they don't bother doing
Anyone else skip that part of the desert map entirely? The tower part? Haha
how do u skip it
Alt+F4
I always hop down onto a railing at the beginning and down to the ground.
And fight everything down there
You can skip 20 minutes of hab dreyko too
sure if your team is on the same page
else theyre gonna die up there and everything will aggro on you below and youll probably die down there
If they aren’t on the same page, they all die and I’ll just res them later 🙂
ok 90% regen speed + lynchpin on ogryn feels way slower now compared to before
though tbf it was crazy fast before
at least now you have to take cover way more but the regen bonus still feels good imo
Also for going UP that tower you can run up into a building and hold 2 choke points and there’s no floor to get shot through
is there any good builds for Brain burst ? just want to do some penance but dont have enough dmg lol
The elite one (5 elites in 12 seconds) you can do with the last feat. The one for killing a boss you’re gonna need a team to help you do it no matter what
More BB damage isn’t gonna make or break that one
So they finally unborked toughness regen, eh? Nice.
i did boss , left elites
and its not 5 elites , you need to kill random elites who have lvl 5
Talking about Pick 'n' Mix? Use KB + Inner Tranquility and it shouldnt be too hard

I imagine Comms Plex is the optimal place for that one now, during the elevator event
But also buffed it. It's still pretty crazy good just not super broken levels
Yeah still confused as to why they did that when even at 60% it would probably beat out just about anything else you could get
I guess they were afraid of just straight up nerfing something that benefitted players besides Psyker mains
yes its says : you need to kill Random elites in 12sec who have rank 5 ( AI lvl 5 )
Sounds like a translation error
idk for me says that lol
idk which language you play, but it's pretty poor wording.

You can kill any elites on Heresy or Damnation for it, unless they changed something since 1.0.21
7*
Gunners and shotgunners are your best friend for it, its especially easy to get on Damnation
its not 7 either lmao
it's definitely 5.
left 3 of them to kill , but my brain burst have low dmg ( im 22lvl)
I havent played in a little while but Ill log in to confirm that it's still 5 elites that you have to kill
Brain burst have fixd dmg, it won't rise with lvl.
its 5, dont let them gaslight you @manic needle
Unless you're talking about a Penance that isn't Pick 'n' Mix?
It's affected by various buffs and armor type tho
you're probably gonna want to reach level 30 for kinetic barrage if you want the penance
Mb you confused penances, but you just need to kill 5 elites in 12 seconds. best way to do it, take kinetic barrage at lvl 30 and look for gunners and shotgunners stacked.
Lol imagine needing that.
better to wait level 30 to do this, this way you can take level 30 perk with enhanced brain burst
and 6 warp charges level 25
far more easier
Most likely. You are need to wait next months for another open letter about how they fall short on expectations and now need to close servers.
Pretty sure I did it without Warp Battery, there shouldnt be much of a difference between 4 charges and 6 charges as long as you remember to do one BB, pop your special and then do the other 4 buffed by KB
6 warp charges because its chad, and level 30 feat for faster bb
You dont even have to be that efficient, I got mine basically by accident
they could at least tell us about their progress with their "promises"
next week
-Reduced Psyker Base Toughness from 100 to 50
That's it, that's the patch
update: developer Greg finally learned how to open the company pc
thats the problem, its pure luck, better to reduce the randomness
you can have 5 gunners for you in the right room, right map and with baby sitted mates
or you can have only ogryns mixed with ragers instant delete by boltgun vet
Best to do it with friends on discord so if you realize youre about to get it you can call them off
Or just use in game voice comms and see if you can get everyone on the same page
all my friends dropped the game, cant solo private, still random with discord
i had pure luck to do this penance in a random public game
With discord everyone should be on the same page before you even queue up though, so not exactly random
its not hard just random
Gotta take the time to send out squad invites etc
whereas quickplay solo youre dropped right into the lobby
honestly the only penance i asked help is malleus monstrum
I queued up with an ogryn player who saw me in the lobby and insta-switched to Slab Shield
It was a fantastic change from the toxic ogryns I would usually be paired with at the time. I still love that guy
are you sure he didn't switch because he thought, "ugh, puny psyker"
there are toxic ogryn?!
Either way I asked 'em and he said hell yeah lets do it, so still based as fuck
The ONLY ogryn I would be paired with for a long time were toxic
thankfully that trend ended
Would you call shield sandbagging toxic? Genuine question
there are ogryns who brace shield vs pox hordes
They'd "roleplay" by doing things like yelling at someone else for splitting to help a teammate and getting downed, before running off and getting downed, or shit talking me after pulling off a carry because I wasnt using surge staff on poxwalkers
idk why but okay i guess you're helping
Are they? I'm not so sure
All of the vets I meet are blessedly silent, think Ive had maybe one toxic one
one vet straight up told me that psyker is useless after a horde
he was struggling to kill shooters with boltgun, he doesnt even realize im keeping ogryns off his ass with surge
"why play psyker, brain burst useless"

hello would you like to play with me
unless alsozora is a common name then i think i met one earlier
oh based on the steam name shown below the character names after the match
TBH I've mostly just been grinding Malice to level my Ogryn this last week
oh then i think it was definitely you
Oh neat
i played one malice game with Kimo earlier on a sand map, we played a quick game while waiting for someone
should be around 7 hours earlier
or 6
Game do be spamming me with sand maps when I QP recently
how come recent players in steam doesnt work with dt
complex
Yeah that lines up
Immeasurably
Its more surprising when something works in DT to be honest
I'm genuinely very upset by this
Hotfix !
Increasingly small player base sadly
Fixed an issue where the Toughness Regeneration Speed from Curio bonuses incorrectly gave an extremely high regen speed.
Buffed the Toughness Regeneration Speed Curio values for all tiers.
well if you want to play sometime alsozara you can add my steam
1.0.24.
im from sea but most people ive added are also aus
Emperor giving me decent things, but sadly its not on my zealot :<
Not sure how good this thing is without bromentum
Sure, the one person I regularly play with is pretty flaky so sounds good 
So Toughness overload is fixed.. that was fast
Decent enough, my Antax was trash and it was still worth
well that will still one shot things and hit others beside it with lower damage
you're pretty much just gonna hit less
The question is, flak or maniacs?
Yeah Decimator is even more cracked now
A real godsend for stamina build 🙂 Just few moths of waiting...
Yeah just priorities
Why? Did they change block counterattack breaking a combo chain or something?
Maybe worth seeing if maniac hits a Mutie BP with damage calc
probably because of power fix
I just meant power changes generally
Ahh gotchya
Yeah still annoying to keep active
Kinda got a little excited because Im pretty sure I have an antax in storage with Deci
I know, I know, foolish of me
TBF of all things to buff Caxe ain't it
Rashad hitbox fix would be appreciated though
Mk. 2 looks like it has some decent sweeping heavies but Ive literally only even seen 2 in the shops on my Psyker.
Mostly it would have been better for +power stacking and weapon swapping before the big hotfix
https://youtu.be/lBQgzO3M7oA ogryn 90% regen speed with lynchpin, not mine
Thats still really good
at least now i'll notice my quietitude again
Having lvl 5. feat selection actually matter is a good change, still not looking forward to grinding out new curios though lol
tac axe push attacks are not bad theyre heavy attack profile
mk2 has sweeping heavies while mk4 has sweeping lights
The decently statted one I got from an Emperor's Gift when I first hit 30 was a Mk. 7 and I switched off as soon as I got something else
mk7 sucks
Shore does
something wrong with its attack pattern i forgot
probably the 2nd light being upwards diagonal and 2nd heavy being straight downwards
still a solid weapon for zealot crit tho
tac axes also have that thing where u cant just combo push attack into itself nonstop you have to push attack -> light/heavy else youll just do nothing
this only happens if i'm lagging
usually when i'm playing with friends across the world and it selects their servers
i just swing 3 times and see if my axe teleports to see who's servers we got
Can you consistently land a full light combo if the connection is good?
I seem to recall every other hit not registering
I think it's registering? at least, i can see the animation
if it's lagging it straight up skips the swing animation sometimes
Mk7 is good for zealot but not as good for psyker
My problem was no hit marker on every other hit + no damage being dealt
i actually have no idea if it's hitting or not, or if the teleporting axe is just visual
May not have been exactly every other strike but it was frequent
Also mk4 still sucks for psyker
Mk4 tac axe is just kinda bad
Unless you want -maximum- safety with brainless left click spam
Antax Mk. 5 is good enough for that, no need to switch to TAxes for me
Meme axe gonna meme
Imo mk2 tac axe is hella good for psyker, pushattack-> fast heavy is really good
Im sure the game will give me a third one at the shop someday so I can try it out
Mk7 also does it
Tbh actually i don't see why you'd go mk2 over mk7 on psyker.
Their pushattack -> heavy chain is the same, you have no real reason to go into long heavy chain sequences, and mk7 lights are the best for the class while mk2 are the worst
If thats the case then I'll just skip them entirely
The Mk. 7 didnt hold a candle compared to Mk.5 CAxe push counterattack for me
I'm tempted to even go for a headtaker limbsplitter one over brmo just cos of the focus on heavies.
I am rethinking my stance on the FS. I like running purge/FS rn
i thought thats always been a good combo
I like running surge a lot in t5 for safety. So I take something better for horde clear
funny, I actually really dig FS for the feel of its attacks. Its damage is just a bit doo doo compared to alternatives.
the attack chains take some getting used to, but I think they patterns feel fine once you get the muscle memory for them
I swear there’s a different force sword in the psyker trailer that has different heavy chains but I could be wrong
nah, there's definitely a force sword with a heavy thrust in its moveset in that trailer
need that
what trailer
the psyker class showcase trailer
Didn't the Psyker have the Power Sword in promotional stuff
If FS had horizontal lights it would be so strong
Not that I know of
they had the heavy sword that the zealot now owns
in the trailer they did anyways

#warhammer40k #wh40k #gaming
found it at the timestamp
also lmao laspistol plink plink at a crusher
Making the Purge look like it explodes enemies when you finish the charge
Sneaky move
holy shit i just noticed that
that's so cool wtf
I saw a youtuber that was so excited to have an explodey flamethrower in the pre-release analysis
psyker needs more explosions in its kit
little did he know
It is actually just an explosive barrel
