psyker-class

[maiden wolf]

Crits might be good if you get blazing spirit later.

[long wharf]

you can actually take a good number of hits

if you really lean into block efficiency for KD

[long wharf]

blazing spirit is awful with void

[maiden wolf]

yeah, but what else are you gonna do?

[long wharf]

transfer peril and warp nexus

or transfer peril and warp flurry when it gets fixed

[maiden wolf]

indeed

[long wharf]

or transfer peril and surge, which will easily out damage warp nexus

but surge is the second rarest psyker blessing

[maiden wolf]

I'm the kind of person that like trying niche builds, as futile as they may be

[long wharf]

psyker has 19 ranged weapons in the weapon pool

[maiden wolf]

What about surge with warp nexus?

[long wharf]

you aren't going to be critting enough to feel like a real cannon

[maiden wolf]

tru

[long wharf]

and transfer peril is what keeps you shooting indefinitely

[maiden wolf]

I really enjoy transfer peril

[restive slate]

Just not transfer Peril on Trauma

[shy warren]

good?

[restive slate]

Wow that warp resistance, gonna be quelling a lot

But other stats look good

[slow karma]

They're not

Run and gun is mid at best, crit damage is worthless on purge staves and poxwalkers sure don't need any damage rolls to die to the flames

[manic needle]

Since when is crit damage worthless on Purgatus?

Oh let me re-read what I wrote

Crit chance is what you're looking for, yeah. Damage is really, really bad.

[slow karma]

Yeah this is a miss

You an scrape that warp nexus off it at least

[manic needle]

AFAIK FLurry has always worked on Voidstrike

[shadow wigeon]

Huh, some folks said it wasn't.

I gotta use this staff more...

[slow karma]

It should be working on everything it can roll on, the fact that it doesn't in this patch is asinine

[maiden wolf]

The ammount of wasted content in darktide makes me feel like I'm playing Fallout 76.

[untold isle]

the hell do i do with this when it comes to perk/blessings

carapace into maniac?

blazing spirit into slaughterer?

[shadow wigeon]

FWIW the upper and lower boundaries on warp resistances are not very big.

[cyan notch]

45k plasteel later

[slow karma]

Meh. I have more important things to do with my time than lament this game and fatshark's ineptitude

[forest coral]

isnt blazing spirit kinda mid rn

[forest coral]

that exists? ?! ?!

is this for force swrd?

[cyan notch]

yea

[forest coral]

i want it wtf

[shadow wigeon]

Those are reasonable mods, but those blessings aren't great in general. Great rolls of course...

[slow karma]

precog is too much micro, especially now

[cyan notch]

pray to hadrons feet and hope she blesses you

[slow karma]

I will never have enough plasteel to fish for anything

It's an inconsistent farm at best

[untold isle]

is crit chance even good? when i was messing around in the meatgrinder it seemed like crit dmg only gets applied to the base dmg of the attack, not the bonus damage granted by the activation

[slow karma]

I just play untl I have a stockpile and then burn it all

[untold isle]

like a crit was 60 more dmg compared to a non crit

[cyan notch]

you can hope to get whatever u want from melk or emp gifts

[slow karma]

I mean I also don't get shit for ingots yet

[manic needle]

Oh wow they actually made re-rolling perks worse somehow

[slow karma]

need to swap out my spread of weeklies but I have like 4 of them half finished from the last unpatched batch

[shadow wigeon]

Per damage table crits on FS are significant multiplier - 2.5X vs unarmored, 2x vs maniac.

[slow karma]

?

How did they make it worse? they didn't change perk rolling.

[manic needle]

Now I have to re-select the perk every time I want to re-roll it

[slow karma]

Oh ok

Weird, I never noticed that

[shadow wigeon]

But weakspot = same as crit for FS... so you're best off going for WS and crits are bonus.

[manic needle]

Goddamn this is annoying

[slow karma]

Eh, I'm used to games making me click incessantly but I do hope that gets changed

[blissful mural]

I like it

[rocky cedar]

BS will be held back by its low proc rate at least until warp nexus is fixed

Oh wait FS BS

Still seems super questionable

[acoustic trench]

I assume this purgatus isn't half bad. I don't damage stat matters all that much, only thing missing is quell speed.

I assume I'd wanna put blazing spirit on the other blessing slot?

Or should I just surrender is for war nexus and hope for a better state line on a new purgatus plus a good blessing

[maiden wolf]

I'd save it for when you get one with focused channeling

you can then put focused chanelling on it, or if/when you get a focused channelling one with better stats, you can sacrifice it for the warp nexus.

[acoustic trench]

Does the damage stat matter on the purgatus?

[maiden wolf]

not really, stacks are what matter

damage helps, but it barely changes at max level

[acoustic trench]

So burn? What about Cloud radius?

I assume I want both those very high

[maiden wolf]

yeah

Burn and cloud radius are most important

[slow karma]

Yeah that's a solid staff at a baseline

[maiden wolf]

Focus channeling is a really common blessing, shouldn't be hard.

[acoustic trench]

I have Focus channeling so should I just put in this one?

[slow karma]

Once you take it to Transcendant, yes.

[acoustic trench]

Thanks for the advice guys

[azure goblet]

How do I even choose between these... also have T2 Slaughterer available to drop around, but waiting for a T4 for that

[rose lily]

So on base stats alone who would prefer the left over the right one?

[azure goblet]

not much difference, would save my mats for a better base

i.e. look at those 8 force swords that survived the 300 i bought

[clear heath]

personally i would put slaughterer on 5 and use that
Warp res is dump stat imo

[azure goblet]

yeah it is dump stat, actually helps to have it low so u can ramp up peril for dmg sometimes

or for quell toughness regen

so slaughterer on the 498 total rating?

[clear heath]

yeah

[azure goblet]

oh i messed one up

2 is a repeat

[clear heath]

this is the one i use and i love it

[azure goblet]

this is supposed to be the 2nd one

was considering Slaughterer on that

for 95% dmg if i get a good slaughterer

[clear heath]

well, you'd have to be ok with not using deflector if you use that one

depends on playstyle

[azure goblet]

though doing the math i think Shred with Riposte actually comes out to about 126.5% extra dmg average on a max FS

assuming u can keep the dodge buff up

[clear heath]

I love slaughterer on fs much i can't give it up now

power increases cleave so it feels so good when horde clearing

[azure goblet]

ohh didnt realize that

[clear heath]

yeah power is damage cleave and stagger

[azure goblet]

i just kinda figure if im using deflector i might as well run it with Exorcist to quell for toughness, go max tanky that way

[clear heath]

that works too
i just personally don't want to give up slaughterer

it's just so strong

[forest coral]

Slaughterer makes diagonal heavy attacks on fs feel like mini antaxe bm attacks

Just staggers the horde with each hit on top of your funny magic pushes and clenches

[azure goblet]

thats hott

yeah ive not found a good one ever so i havent even used it lol

[forest coral]

yeah not to mention if you add flank or maniac damage onto the sword, you dont even need the specials half the time to deal with humanoid elites

albeit its still faster to use the special but ye

[azure goblet]

i think for me the 4 perfect FS combos are:
Slaughterer w/Unstable Power
Deflector w/Exorcist
Blazing Spirit w/Shred or Riposte
Shred w/Riposte

[forest coral]

for blazing spirit tho

whats the best way to make it owrk

[azure goblet]

honestly im playing with new riposte still ill let u know

cuz normally you do the 2 strike combo and push to horde clear

that messes up Shred stacks

[forest coral]

yeah

[azure goblet]

so im playing with riposte to see if it works better

[forest coral]

like on paper it sounds good for ascendant blaze builds but in practice

[clear heath]

Idk about reposte since it got buffs
but yeah shred blazing spirit is pretty bad imo

[forest coral]

things just die before they get set alight or things that are alight dont really get hurt by 2 blaze stacks

[clear heath]

imagine swinging like 8 times to apply a few stacks of soulblaze

[forest coral]

yeah exactly

[azure goblet]

well

[forest coral]

swing 8 times vs, use ascendant blaze with 6 warp stacks once or just light attack with a purg

[azure goblet]

look at my 8 sword up there

the last one drops 4 stacks on crit

i think it might work better but i just rolled it, have to try tomorrow

[forest coral]

precog isnt really that good of a skill tho

[azure goblet]

if i ever get a Bloodthirsty that might be the combo though, special attack, get 100% crit, land a hit for blazing spirit burn

[forest coral]

yeah true

[azure goblet]

oh yeah i can reroll the precog obviously

[clear heath]

from what i've heard, bloodthirsty gives crits for the next 5 seconds after special kill

might actually make blazing spirit useful

[azure goblet]

yeah

thats perfect then

[forest coral]

The way i see the burn being good is if blaze + bloodthirsty and it sets things alight with cleave

[azure goblet]

u can clear a whole horde that way probly

[forest coral]

then it will actually be kinda nuts

yeah

[azure goblet]

i mean

ive tested blazing spirit enough

it does cleave and hit quite a few guys

on the right swing

[forest coral]

hmm

[azure goblet]

so then

[forest coral]

i mean my sword as t3 blazing atm not by choice

[slow karma]

This sounds fun

[azure goblet]

you run it with kinetic overload

[forest coral]

Probably could be something yeah

[azure goblet]

and the stacks light more elites on fire

[slow karma]

I'm ghonna have to fux with force sword farming for a while

[forest coral]

Bloodthirsty procc > Blazing sword

this can open up ascendant blaze builds to other things other than purg

[azure goblet]

yeah i got like 20 T3 blazings before i just got this T4

[forest coral]

and still maintain its effectiveness to an extent

[azure goblet]

yeah i think

ill probly run it with trauma staff

since it consistently gives 3 stacks now

[forest coral]

ye

surge sounds pretty good with it too

[azure goblet]

umm

i just tested today

looks like they ninja nerfed that

when you crit with surge now and swap to FS it doesnt light em on fire

i was very sad

[forest coral]

lame

[azure goblet]

this is giving me consistent stacks even without the sword

i think blazing spirit doesnt give stacks as much on voidstaff cuz you have to be fairly close when they die

[forest coral]

Hmm

so maybe

[azure goblet]

as you might notice if u ever use ascendant blaze and run off

[forest coral]

Blast up to 95% + peril

[azure goblet]

you tend to get like 0-1 charge back

[forest coral]

and start chopping away you reckon?

[azure goblet]

yeah probly

get that 15% dmg maybe

[forest coral]

Already using it

[azure goblet]

if doing damnation

[forest coral]

but yea, this sounds viable

in damnation ascendant blaze almost always returns full 6 warp stacks to you if used properly

[azure goblet]

we'll see i guess lol

well

ive lit like 200 enemies on fire with AB in damnation but if i run the other way i dont always get many charges back

so i suspect there's a max radius to player to get charges back but idk for sure

[forest coral]

There's no limit right

i know its a cone

but its everything to its max range and radius afaik

[azure goblet]

no limit to targets hit as long as theyre in the aoe

[forest coral]

yeah

[azure goblet]

but i mean

u might have to be within a certain distance when they die to get a chance for a warp charge

[forest coral]

oooh

Dont think so right unless its like a coherency thing

[azure goblet]

idk im just speculating

[forest coral]

not sure, its always been a fire and forget thing for me

[azure goblet]

could be horrid luck several times

to get 0 charges from an entire horde

[forest coral]

Should be just luck

yea

Then again i almost always run psychic communion in that build

so might be my team mates helping on top of it

[azure goblet]

yeah when i take off communion and test in meat grinder i dont get charges if i shoot it off and run the other way generally

or get like 1 charge

aight i gotta sleep

gnite brethren

[forest coral]

rest well!

[split oxide]

I want Deflector. Do I move it to another one.. or move something else to it?
Or do I just use one

[forest coral]

comes down to if you really need deflector in your playstyle

[azure goblet]

keep deflector on that one to the right i say

[forest coral]

you could consider moving slaughter into the third sword

[azure goblet]

put slaughterer or something on it

[forest coral]

yeah

[azure goblet]

that extra 2% on the dmg stat is like 0.5 dmg it doesnt matter

first strike does more than dmg stat for FS

and warp resistance is throwaway

mobility is too low on the left sword

wont be able to kite demonhost

or boop poxbursters consistently enough

[split oxide]

The Finesse one number 1 is good too?

[azure goblet]

it is but barely better

with bad mobility and lower first strike

and

u would be replacing deflector for an extra 6% block its not worth

[split oxide]

I've NEVER been able to kite demonhosts.. that would be intersting

[azure goblet]

you go sideway around a pillar or something

can do it in the open with around 75%+ mobility FS

by hopping sideways

but

ur teammates always fail to hit it and run out of ammo when u do it that way

so it takes like 10 mins for them to kill it or fail you and die

but yeah u can do it lol

[cyan notch]

dodge slide will do the trick every time

[azure goblet]

can occasionally get a hit in if ur good

[split oxide]

oh - so deflector3 is important then

[azure goblet]

true blooddrunk

also perks for the right sword are better rubbercable

its a better sword than the left one

[obtuse crypt]

every fucking time it's always me and the ogryn i play with left cause other p[layers suck on heresy they need to go back to malice

thank fuck for dueling sword and voidstrike

[split oxide]

Cool. thanks

[obtuse crypt]

you're welcome

[obtuse crypt]

wanna know how much i can suck though

[azure goblet]

okay i might eventually put Bloodthirsty on this, so which perk would you throw away?

[forest coral]

precog

is that even a question

[azure goblet]

perk

[slow karma]

Malice isn't teaching people how to play on heresy

[forest coral]

Oh

[azure goblet]

not blessing lol

[forest coral]

specialists

[azure goblet]

cuz these fuckin perks man

[forest coral]

yeah

BIS is a pipe dream in this game, like a gacha roll

at least we aint swiping

[obtuse crypt]

i wish there was something in between honestly, the jump from malice to heresy is pretty large and a lot of people can't handle it

[forest coral]

play on damnation and they shall learn quick

[slow karma]

Wel I don't se that happening until they up the top end

[forest coral]

[azure goblet]

k thought i might be crazy to keep the 2 perk but i guess not lol

[slow karma]

If they can't handle heresy, they sure as fuck ren't handling damnation

[forest coral]

its not the worst, should let you one tap some dregs

[split oxide]

Is blazing spirit that useful?

1. you shouldn't be in meat-potatoes combat.
2. if you haven't nuked it in 1-3 hits you're SOL

[slow karma]

Depends.

We're entertaining the thought of pairing it with bloodthirsty for guaranteed's crits for X seconds

It's not about being useful so much as being a usable build

and you know damn well that sounds fun

[clear heath]

honestly i think it would still be worse at horde clear than just going slaughterer, but it sounds interesting

[azure goblet]

i mean if u can ramp warp charges from it with ascendent blaze

[floral solstice]

new patch but shieldgryns still exist in my t5 pugs

[azure goblet]

then you can toss coherency 4% charges for 15% ult cooldown and spam blaze

[slow karma]

Sure, I doubt it's gonna excel at anything but do we really care?

[azure goblet]

4-6 stack ascendant blazes every 10 secs? sure why not

[slow karma]

We kinda gotta find our fun where we can right now

[forest coral]

let us get our discount firesword back

so we can cosplay sienna

because that shit was strong af

[split oxide]

BTW: what is 'power'? Is that 'damage stat'?

[slow karma]

It's a few things

Damage, cleave, and stagger all t once

[forest coral]

Reddit says its good

[slow karma]

at*

[forest coral]

therefore good build

[split oxide]

daamn

[slow karma]

Yeah Power is pretty juicy

That's why it's values are so small

It does a lot

[rocky cedar]

[gilded viper]

Anyone playing with Trauma at all? Is it any fun?

[rocky cedar]

Slaughterer says hi

So does head taker on heavy sword

[azure goblet]

yup its fun

[forest coral]

Wish it was still better tho

[gilded viper]

Yah, I guess I'm just getting bored of Purge, wanted to mix it up a little, but I think Surge is dull

[forest coral]

Surge only fun with a team that does damage

[gilded viper]

We need a mk of Surge that does damage and high target count over CC

Fun Surge

[split oxide]

you have to factor in 'target-aquisition-time/'ADS') for trauma.

[gilded viper]

I could just do Close range Trauma, less awkward AOE aiming

Can still pew pew with the left click

[azure goblet]

k gnite fr

[forest coral]

I like using the trauma dont get me wrong

and my highest stat staff is actually a trauma one

[split oxide]

g night

[gilded viper]

No Trauma could totally get some love

[split oxide]

ty all

[gilded viper]

I agree

[forest coral]

just been too many instances where its like, I wish i had x over this

or I could have saved this player if i had anyting else

that kind of situation lol

or man, I love my shieldgryn and maul zealots doing no damage

and I aint killing fast enough

[supple grove]

what are s tier blessings on surge staff?

[gilded viper]

Yah Power Maul and Crusher's damage leaves a lot to desire

[gilded viper]

The one that removes peril on crit, and faster chained charge on secondary attack

[forest coral]

warp flurry not really working at the moment

so currently im using critical nexus + terrifying barrage

may as well add some more cc during horde phase

[supple grove]

any opinions on left or right? higher damage better?

[indigo quarry]

power

Shit, this was meant to be a search lmao.

Honestly, you have higher crit rolls on the right one.

[forest coral]

ye, the quell speed should be able to cover up for the lower warp res

[green phoenix]

which perk do i reroll

tryin to figure out if the staff is good or not, or should i go for a better roll

[supple grove]

thanks I was leaning towards right

[floral solstice]

right one for me

[floral solstice]

im no voidstrike enjoyer but i'd replace crit damage, and yeah roll looks alright

[green phoenix]

thx

[maiden wolf]

Well I'm not so excited about either of these after the Psyker nerfs. But I was originally going to caption the axe with "Armour? I barely know 'er!"

[still hearth]

Thunderous is nice if you use purge and swap to the axe

[maiden wolf]

Shiiiit, I'm having deja vu

[still hearth]

[maiden wolf]

I swear you've told me this exact thing a long time ago

[still hearth]

Thunderous being capped at 8 stacks is

Really bad

[maiden wolf]

My thought was that it serves as a good support tool

[still hearth]

40% Rending isn't great, except for Lasgun Veterans

[maiden wolf]

If I'm surge-botting, might as well be debuffing as well.

[still hearth]

The only issue with the Rending stuff is that either people have armor pen

Or they won't hit carapace anyway

Or they're lasgun Vets

[marsh ermine]

Ur a lasgun vet

[still hearth]

40% Rending can be decent but most of the time it adds so little

[stable nacelle]

what do people run on their curios

[still hearth]

Health or Toughness. Sniper resistance, revive speed.

Then whatever else I'm lucky enough to get

[marsh ermine]

Lasgun efficient

[maiden wolf]

Wounds if you're a troglodyte (I'm a troglodyte)

[marsh ermine]

15%

[stable nacelle]

nah I never guns on a class that has staves

💀

fuck that

[still hearth]

Always gun

[maiden wolf]

Stamina was good for blocking and high aggro builds

[still hearth]

Just imagine them as funny looking staves

[maiden wolf]

complain complain complain

[still hearth]

High aggro

[marsh ermine]

Redline build

[still hearth]

You mean suicidal playstyles?

[stable nacelle]

nah more like team doesnt know how to pace playstyles

[marsh ermine]

Yeah, I hate teams that rush

Every nook

[maiden wolf]

It is now.

[marsh ermine]

And cranny

Must be sought out

[stable nacelle]

I am not against checking places

but there is shitters to kill

you can search after

[marsh ermine]

XD

[stable nacelle]

I like to push with psyker cause I have deflector force sword and purgatus

so when I see people slacking

I am just 💀

[maiden wolf]

Most viable build rn IMO

[stable nacelle]

like you have so much control with purgatus and F

dont see the point of just chilling

[spice veldt]

i just rush ahead because my teammates end up just trailing me whenever I go search off the beaten path

so I just say "fuck it" and just go kill or aggro enemies ahead

[stable nacelle]

would do the same but havent played in 2 months so the curios I have are just

[slow karma]

I'm sorry but there is zero reason for the director to just throw wave after wave, after wave after wave of enemies at us before we even get into the final phase of a mission

Fatshark fix your shit

God I fucking hate wasting time like that

[still hearth]

If its the special ammo mission then that one is definitely bugged

[slow karma]

Yeah it's fucked

[still hearth]

Just gotta push into the last section right away basically

[slow karma]

Well now that I know I'll just fucking avoid it until they patch it

[wet belfry]

I do suspect comms plex to also be bugged

[slow karma]

ugh

[wet belfry]

The middle event is insane compared to most things in the game

[slow karma]

I wanna play this game so badly but it does everything in its power to piss me off

[still hearth]

That's just comms plex

It's always been a mess

[wet belfry]

Ye we got to the elevator section yesterday and clicked the button and pulled back

They kept spawning enemys

[slow karma]

I've never once had this happen to me

[wet belfry]

We never entered the elevator btw.

[slow karma]

Not to say I dont believe you guys it's just agitating how inconsistent this shit can be

[wet belfry]

It may have been a mistake to pull back.

But its kinda like do you want possible death or possible death?

[floral solstice]

i've seen some people camp the gunners spawn area on that mid event and that trivialized the whole event

[wet belfry]

We did that in the early section

[floral solstice]

though we didnt do that on my previous hi5 run and still went okay

[wet belfry]

Ive no doubt it works. But its dangerous to move between the room.

[floral solstice]

by camping i mean one guy literally stayed at that area on the whole interrogator part

he didnt go back and forth to machine

[wet belfry]

Mmm ye too risky.

[floral solstice]

cant remember but prolly an agripinaa vet

eh, i guess depends on how much you can handle it

[wet belfry]

Keep in mind this was in true duo

We were 2 people not 4

[floral solstice]

cool

most people play 4

but cool

just saying that the camping trick on normal 4 man pugs work.

[wet belfry]

It would work on 2 aswell i think with a differnent gear set/skill set, class setup.

[kindred anchor]

me

that map is bugged rn the enemies at back dont spawn/come into area

[feral crater]

Anyone got a quick cheatsheat for what is dump stat in each weapon?

[raw coral]

can i just say, t4 and up? one room at a time yall, dont aggro literally the whole map

[spice veldt]

no

because it's boring and horde events aggro pre-spawned enemies on the map anyways

would you rather fight enemies with or without a horde

[golden tartan]

That is infinite until u get in the elevator

Iirc

[half iron]

take all of them at once.
in a fight btw

[golden tartan]

True duo reduces the number of elite and special enemies spawned by half. And reduces horde sizes also

So its about as hard.

[wet belfry]

Any confirmation on this? (Source)

From what ive seen it doesnt really reduce anything.

You can still get a special wave with 5 specials.

The elite spawn at comms plex should also be about the same?

I know for a fact it spawned 5 shotgunners in one row at true duo during the mid event.

[golden tartan]

Literally had a bunch of dudes sitting around counting enemies on true duo videos xD

@mental aspen I believe knows exactly who

[golden tartan]

5 shotgunners sounds about right for a half spawn

That place can shit out 8

[wet belfry]

Best to just try ingame at the same location.

[golden tartan]

Oh I know that location

Its one of the most cursed locations in the game

The moment u finish and hit the elevator button the game vomits shotgunners around the corner

Or gunners

If ur unlucky u get pure shotgunners, if ur lucky u get a mix

5 specials on damnation as a high point also sounds about right for a halfish spawn

Like on 4 man u can get about 8+

[wet belfry]

I can test later if comms plex is able.

[golden tartan]

If u want a hard game dont play true duo

Play duo with bots

Bots count as active players and push the difficulty WAY the fuck up

[raw coral]

id rather not fight the whole next room you have to push a button to initiate

and then watch you explode on the floor

that one right at the start of the furnace mission

[spice veldt]

at the first daemoneye?

better to aggro enemies anyways or they'll come from everywhere

i'm not fond of surprise crushers

or a shooter patrol from behind after you move to the next section

[raw coral]

yeah but, opening the door marked with the big fuck off button that opens into a whole new encounter, while we're still not halfway done with the first is a problem too

[spice veldt]

my message was in the context of while the team is searching

i.e. the team is just looking around side paths with no particular threat to face

of course you shouldn't aggro two different areas at the same time if you think your team can't handle it

[fierce sinew]

it's usually better to aggro everything you're going to need to fight if you can I find

[raw coral]

it was randos, the other og and me were on top of each other with the vet

[golden tartan]

Not at the same time ideally

But yea you wanna clear

[raw coral]

pskyer decided to go full zealot

[spice veldt]

i like the trauma staff since the outer radius explosion aggroes enemies you can't see

[golden tartan]

Tbf psyker can do a zealot well if played well

[fierce sinew]

I think same time same place usually better, pick a good spot to fight and fight there

[raw coral]

this was not well played

[golden tartan]

Nah. Thats how u get 8 shotgunners to the face

Its very rng on elites if u wanna aggro multiple waves

[fierce sinew]

8 shotgunners to the face is completely fine and manageable

[raw coral]

i played with three baller ass psykers earlier, my og could barely land a hit before the enemy was either on fire, or their brains were painting the ceiling

[fierce sinew]

random shotgunner from behind is worse

[golden tartan]

There is no managing 8 shotgunners to the face

U cant dodge

[raw coral]

im just saying that one dude gave yall a bad name

[golden tartan]

U cant block

[fierce sinew]

you AB

is your staff broken

[raw coral]

bruh do you even can opener

[golden tartan]

You are dead before u AB

Thats 8 shotgunners

U just drop randomly

[fierce sinew]

they don't fire even close to instantly

[golden tartan]

From across the fucking map

[spice veldt]

i've just learned to always look to the back of commsplex during the midevent

[raw coral]

can opener/blaze away is basically "fuck this entire area in front of me" right now

[spice veldt]

they're relatively unthreatening if you catch them before they're close

[summer prairie]

Looks like they improved smite smart targetting

[golden tartan]

Actually they do.

They lock on before rounding the corner and blam u the moment they come round.

[golden tartan]

In 2s and 3s yea. 8, no.

[spice veldt]

reducing them to 4 or so is still pretty good, assuming your team is alive

as a psyker with KB

[golden tartan]

Thats the thing

[fierce sinew]

it doesn't matter how many if they're in front of you neatly, they never get to fire

[golden tartan]

Until they insta fire when coming around a corner

[fierce sinew]

they never insta fire

[golden tartan]

They definitely do

[spice veldt]

their targeting is a little sus so I always slide before I exit the corner rounding them

[fierce sinew]

you get a sound cue and a visual cue

[golden tartan]

Thry do the cue from behind the corner as they come around

[fierce sinew]

if you aren't reacting to the pump sound/animation that's just skill issue

[golden tartan]

The issur is even if u react u go down

Theres no defensive reaction that saves u

[fierce sinew]

AB knocks them down and you kill them before they get up, as long as they're in front (which is the point of aggroing everything from a safe place)

[golden tartan]

AB doesnt hit them

[spice veldt]

slide dodging works against them until you run out of dodges

[golden tartan]

Cos they are around the corner

[golden tartan]

Not against 8

[fierce sinew]

I think you might not play the game

[golden tartan]

2 or 3 yes

8 no

[spice veldt]

well yeah; it's all about prevention

[fierce sinew]

shout ignores map geometry

[spice veldt]

if 8 shotgunners get close to your team, it's a bad situation anywyas

[golden tartan]

They can wipe a member from 30m away

[spice veldt]

just like if 8 gunners catch your team from the back

[golden tartan]

So no. It does not need to be close

[spice veldt]

ehhhhhhhh

not from 30m

[fierce sinew]

if they're behind you you're in trouble with way less than 8

[golden tartan]

8

Yes

[fierce sinew]

in front it could be 20, it doesn't matter

[golden tartan]

You are getting hit by 4 even if u dodge slide

And 4 will down u

[spice veldt]

if you're in an entirely open space yeah

but i assume that people are going to have some mild form of cover nearby

i don't like venturing out beyond the interrogator in commsplex for that reason

[golden tartan]

Yea but you have literally a fraction of a second to react.

If u arent within dodge range of cover ur fucked

Which a lot of times u arent gonna br

And the random bullshit 8 shotgunner spawn happens in a lot of places

[spice veldt]

yeah, but it's a wipe anyways if I'm not paying attention to shooters anyways

if they spawn from the side doors, the siren will go off

[golden tartan]

Issue is the reaction time tbh

[spice veldt]

if they come from the back, I can seem them slow walking to downsmash us

[golden tartan]

Shooters give u a solid moment to react

Shotgunners do not

[fierce sinew]

yes they do lmao

[spice veldt]

eh, the issue is that they do all their damage in a single burst

shooters, you can take a hit and dodge the rest

[golden tartan]

Mhm.

The other thing also is shooters give a window whete toughness regen stuff kicks in

Shotgunners do not

U go from 100%/100% to down in like a blink

Unless ur zealot.

[fierce sinew]

that part is true, if you let them shoot you you're fucked

[golden tartan]

And they have this annoying thing there they will prelock and instafire when coming around corners at times

I think it has to do with how some corners are interpreted by AI

[fierce sinew]

I've never seen them shoot without the sound except when the sound in general is bugged, like after the one hourglass elevator

[spice veldt]

or if they catch a glimpse of you before hand, they'll be in their "ready to shoot" state I think

like if they can see you, you go into cover, and you come out, they'll be ready to shoot

[golden tartan]

Yea hence why i think some corners give them sort of a way to draw "LOS" without actual LoS

[idle bay]

Managed to roll this

Upgraded from green 🙂

[golden tartan]

The AI just thinks they can see you when they cant

We know this is a definite issue cos sniper can shoot through some walls

[dusky bear]

ayy

also i swear blazing spirit does not exist or had an ungodly low chance to appear on voidstrike staves

[steel egret]

That and Surge blessing

Quite rare indeed

[dusky bear]

im just buying voidstrike staves from the armory and upgrading them to blue to try and roll it. hadron is building her retirement fund off of all the plasteel im spending with her

[shadow wigeon]

I've hit a bunch of blazing spirit. Doesn't seem good though.

Compared to transfer and flurry

[cyan notch]

how so

[summer prairie]

maybe it was the previous patch, i'll check later

[idle bay]

1000th mission done

[dusky bear]

[dusky bear]

[proven raven]

Me, going through Discord one last time before bed: "damn, I need to play more Darktide"

[idle bay]

I left last 2 mission to this morning, and gone to sleep at 998/1000 🙂

Had to change my review on steam to Positive (with a long list on Cons) - since i played this Karktide for 1000 mission and still had fun!

[shadow wigeon]

Passive quell change makes FS so much more appealing now.

[ornate hamlet]

I still hate the Force Sword

[wet belfry]

Im trying so hard to find any posts related to less players leading to less spawns.

im fiinding nada.

I wonder what the spawning rules in the game actually are

Where would you find the code for it.

[dusky bear]

the same always

even if you are solo, you have 3 bots with you

[spice veldt]

they're talking about true duos/solos

[dusky bear]

like if your the last alive?

[wet belfry]

yes

[spice veldt]

yeah, like no bots and only human players

so true duo = two human players and no bots

while a plain duo = two humans players and two bots

[wet belfry]

Spawning rules within the game seem to be badly documented.

[dusky bear]

it seems to spawn more dogs, trappers, and muties when im the last alive

[spice veldt]

probably loner spawns

they spawn more frequently, but in less quantity

i was last alive on a poxhound mod mission, and it only spawned one hound at a time for me

whereas when my entire team was alive, it spawned 2 at a time

[wet belfry]

I might ask kuli if he knows.

He usally likes to look into the actual coding of the game.

[lilac tapir]

shouldn't Tier 4 Endurance be +3 stam? Tier 3 is also 2 stam... is this another FS moment? 😄

[wet belfry]

I did find this https://steamcommunity.com/app/1361210/discussions/0/3727323242817742966/

[idle bay]

So after completing 1000th Penance i can play the game now...

[spring barn]

Porque?

[olive ember]

Aye replace the executor with deflector and that’s a rly pog FS

[pine relic]

Play with three ogryns at High-intensity, have to kill EVERY GUNNERS AND SNIPERS BY MYSELF

[olive ember]

Hope you brought a kinetic barrage build

Tho you could also try running ascendant blaze and press 4 on shooter hordes

[pine relic]

I did, otherwise we are not gonna make it

[summer prairie]

this is the smite smart targetting change. It then lists the enemy types it should prioritize.

[spice veldt]

3 ogryns and not a grenade gauntlet in sight huh

[pine relic]

Our coward veteran quit in the middle

[olive ember]

Is smite palpatine lightning? I forget

[summer prairie]

bb

[olive ember]

Oh

[pine relic]

I thought we could get at least 750 plasteel, but we only got less than 700, the veteran probably made a wise decision

[olive ember]

They changed targeting?

[summer prairie]

It sounds like it should snap to higher priority targets easier but hard to tell

[idle bay]

Blown all mats in Hadron's casion to get good curios...
And just remembered that i forgot to roll a good FS.... back to farming again then

[shadow wigeon]

Right behind ya

[dusky bear]

[idle bay]

No-life kindred! hugs

[shadow wigeon]

Little too real there 😮

But there's a tier 5....

[dusky bear]

i stg if if hadron fucks that staff up for me

[uneven drift]

Well, you can't fuck up surge, so whatever.

[idle bay]

I don't know if it's good or bad that perks and blessing mostly do nothing to Surge 🙂

[dusky bear]

eh

[summer prairie]

nexus is very useful

[dusky bear]

the warp nexus makes it hit like a truck

[uneven drift]

Only if target have armor.

[summer prairie]

the crits also increase stagger a lot, which is likely why it sometimes stops mutants instantly

[clear heath]

Does it feel any different to you? I can't even tell

[summer prairie]

No idea. It did seem like I was effectively picking out targets in distance within a horde but it could have very well been the same as it was before.

[clear heath]

Trying to see if i can tell in psykanium but i have no idea if it's doing anything

[cyan notch]

SEEMS THE SAME TO ME

oops caps lol

[floral solstice]

SORRY DAD

[cyan notch]

couple times trying to hit sniper jumping over horde and i still cant get em

[shadow wigeon]

Surge 100% stops mutants, no crit required. You need to time it a little bit, however.

[cyan notch]

OK I FORGIVE U

[summer prairie]

mmmiles: it does, wasn't sure what was the cause of the time it takes to stagger them though

[shadow wigeon]

You have to stun them after they have begun moving.

[summer prairie]

they can be stunned in place

[shadow wigeon]

Yes, any surge 2ndary attack will stun in place a mutie, as long as you hit it after it starts moving (roughly)

[summer prairie]

sometimes you can just spam min charge and they keep staggering despite not having charged

and the time it takes them to stagger while they are running varies

[shadow wigeon]

Kinda, there are invul windows for the mutie. You don't need to cycle it to keep them locked down.

[forest coral]

[cyan notch]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-impressive-very-nice-coping-patrick-bateman-gif-26518058

[floral solstice]

hackss

[summer prairie]

not seeing any meaningful difference in smite targeting in the grinder at least

[clear heath]

ok i changed my force sword to +maniac and now i one shot hs mutants if i have warp charges

pretty cool

[cyan notch]

yes that is the way

i have + maniac and can do that too

[clear heath]

I had flak previously for some breakpoints but i think i hit those anyways since the last warp charge buff

[cyan notch]

yea light hs kills scab ragers

i think heavy hs also kills dreg ragers

with warp charges maybe

[clear heath]

heavy special just barely kill maulers as long as you don't headshot

with charges at least

and i think my concerns with the normal flak enemies don't matter much anymore now that i have slaughterer

[shadow wigeon]

Surge does not require armor, and crits do 2.5x. Nexus is very strong.

[clear heath]

the real reason to go nexus is because the other blessings do fuck all

[shadow wigeon]

I use Nexus/Barrage, but Channeling would be helpful on hi5

someone is often sneaking through and poking you

[cyan notch]

crits dont do 2.5 what

[shadow wigeon]

well it depends ont he mobs yeah... 1.5-2x

Flak reg hits are already a crit, practically.

Yeah 2.5x is wrong

[uneven drift]

Mate, go to meat grinder and check if surge does anything against that's not armor lol.

It can't kill basic trash in appropriate time. And useful only as CC and anti armor.

[shadow wigeon]

You can 3 shot 5 ragers

with 1 crit in there

Which happens a lot on damn

[stable nacelle]

honestly would prefer purgatus

💀

being able to just say fuck you to an entire room instead of 5 ads

feels better

[uneven drift]

Not dreg ragers. They have 1350 hp, so even with 3 crits it won't kill them.

Surge suck in killing anything that not flak/carapace. Stun handy tho, there are no argue.

[stable nacelle]

I think for solo pugs going purgatus feels more consistent over surge

at least for dealing with most situations

[summer prairie]

you aren't accounting for +elite and warp charge damage

[uneven drift]

Surge fuck things behind the walls and doesn't require you to aim. It's a strong side.

[stable nacelle]

as if there are that many instances xd

purgatus gives me space in a straight line up to like 10-20 meters depending on your cloud radius

[shadow wigeon]

No it 3 shots easily with no crits at 4 warp

Your damage is off by quite a bit.

[uneven drift]

Well, let's define at start what conditions are in that case. Because new variables comes along the way not that great way to discuss.

[shadow wigeon]

Well, I hope you have at least 3 warp charges when you're playing damn with surge.. or in general.

[uneven drift]

We can take into account mixed hordes because it's rarely few ragers wandering around by itself. And then surge suck even more.

[summer prairie]

the elites are all faster than the horde though

[shadow wigeon]

You don't use surge against hordes

[uneven drift]

I know. But as i said, let's define conditions at the start.

[shadow wigeon]

The conditions are you are playing the game

[summer prairie]

true, you can lose target when the rager is stunned and horde pushes forward, but picking out non-ranged elites within a horde is trivial

since they come at you faster than the horde

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah you're typically zoning elites, I would say I kill more ragers than almost anything else.

Because of high valuable they are to remove

or stunlock at someone else kills them, it doesn't matter.

Killing 2-3 at the same time is pretty frequent.

When a patrol hits.

[uneven drift]

And then we can take purge or even trauma that have no limits on targets and purge just melts shit. So why bothering to take crit surge when you can kill everything much faster? Rhetorical question.

[dusky bear]

because stunlocking the bulwarks and 3 crushers rushing you can be the difference between a game over and a victory

[summer prairie]

Depends on your party composition but surge is also better for clutching

[sharp obsidian]

Did they just nerf purgatus and said nothing about it in the notes or did I just miss it? We can't spam short-charged bursts any more.

[shadow wigeon]

Surge also lets you kill indirectly, catch shooters that are mostly behind cover, without exposing yourself.

[dusky bear]

can transfer peril be on surg?

[shadow wigeon]

No

Barrage, Nexus, Channeling - then run and gun, and flurry (which does not do anything).

[ornate hamlet]

@spring barn Don't like the attack pattern at all. The weapon clashes with my aggressive playstyle. I'm also generally not a fan of Deflector; playing defensively with the Deflector FS got me killed a lot more than when I ran into Combat with my Dueling Sword or Combat Axe

[dusky bear]

oh and best argument for the surge

you can stunlock muties

[summer prairie]

or a group of multiple mutants+hounds on damn hi

[cyan notch]

damn bye

[clear heath]

hmm, considering it

maybe i'll just do 10

guy went up to burster and said

https://tenor.com/view/batman-superman-bruce-wayne-punch-gif-5768796

[dusky bear]

question

surge staff has critical bonus and in the inspect critical bonus has "primary action melee critical chance" and "secondary action melee critical chance" is that just a typo or does that really only effect smacking stuff with my staff?

[summer prairie]

it affects ranged

[dusky bear]

so 24% base crit chance. im slapping a level 3 warp nexus on this asap

[forest coral]

he wanted to slay heretics up and personal

can never blame him for that

damnation btw

[jovial mural]

love using surge cuz I can just stun almost everything and lightning coming out of my fingers is dope

[whole wharf]

It is quite fun to cosplay emperor palpatine.

[jovial mural]

I imagine myself more of the psykers using so much power that wind from their attacks is blowing into their faces that they put in the art for warhammer but that is fun as well

[whole wharf]

I would really love to see a void staff that's based solely on single target damage, like the voidstrike but with more stopping power. Much like seinna's fire spear staff from VT2.

Granted brain burst kinda does that as is, but would be pretty cool to see.

[jovial mural]

made a loadout surrounding brain burst recently so I'm eager to try that out tomorrow

[whole wharf]

It's really fun, especially with the buff it got recently.

Feels much easier to take down big enemies on heresy or higher, and most specials that initially took 2-3, now only need 1.

[strange wigeon]

since I got almost no force swords for a long time so I just had deflector I'm kind of lost on most of the blessings, what's better the soulbalze on crit or quell on weakspot, I'm guessing quell?

Only force sword I have with ok stats, upgraded a random forcesword and got slaughterer 4 so that's what I'm planning to put on the second blessing

[cyan notch]

yea quell

both are pretty mid tho

[strange wigeon]

I know just by reading them that they're meh but don't have other ok swords stat wise I'm afraid

[forest coral]

https://streamable.com/dwoiy0

[strange wigeon]

boggles my mind that I'm nearing 400 hours and I still didn't get to try out most blessings

what's the best blessing to pair with slaughterer then?

[forest coral]

either unstable power or deflector i think

[floral solstice]

dont worry you'll get more stressed when we play, more memes too

[strange wigeon]

I have this one also, I'll try it out, put slaught on shred and reroll the elite damage probably. Any good breakpoints to hit, what other perk should I be aiming for alongside flak? Never rerolled before because the crafting system made me sad so I just used what the emp,melk or shop gave me

[forest coral]

Maniac afaik

Err dont worry about ur breakpoints, youve def hit them i think xD

[strange wigeon]

nice, thanks

[solar cloak]

any tips on what maps are good for getting going out with a bang?

[twilit flicker]

I got mine on accident in the train tunnel, whichever that one is. I think its the one which you steal the ammunition. Consignment yard?

Though I guess if youre trying, any map will do if you have team mates who will co-operate.

[crystal jolt]

Comms plex. First data interrogation section has gunners and shotgunners spawn in groups at the opposite end of the room.

[solar cloak]

sweet, thx last achievement I need to 100% steam

[split elm]

Are the psyker achievements made easier to do now?

Or still the same as on launch?

[vagrant furnace]

They are still whack

[remote gale]

what would be a good second blessing to put on this you think?

[tropic lagoon]

warp flurry probs

[sly matrix]

Quick, help me decide. Left one better than right one?

[twilit flicker]

Any of the brain burst ones since it got easier to maintain higher warp charges. Although I wouldnt say warp charges are strictly necessary.

[tropic lagoon]

so does wrack and ruin emit soulblaze every time you brain burst a big enemy?

[split elm]

Oh, how did that change? And if you have time give a small update on what changed for the psyker in the last, uh, month and a half that would be great. No pressure though

[tropic lagoon]

warp charges fall off one at a time now

and damage buff is 3>4%

[twilit flicker]

I'd go with the one on the right, personally.

[tropic lagoon]

also brain burst is 10% stronger at base

[twilit flicker]

What Freak said, pretty much. I wouldnt call it a direct buff but it helps!

[split elm]

Coolio. Any changes on melee weapons and staves?

[clear heath]

trauma staff costs less peril now

all non-force weapons got their passive quell nerfed

[sly matrix]

just bought this dude on the shop. I have a question: if I change the perk now, does that mean that, if I upgrade to purple and I dont like the new perk, I cannot change it?

[sacred dome]

Trauma is a bit hard to use compared to the others.

[cyan notch]

yes

[sly matrix]

Is ranged critical strike chance worth changing or should I wait for the purple upgrade? What about the blessing?

[tropic lagoon]

I pulled warp nexus off a surge staff but i can't put it on my purgatus?

[uneven drift]

Crit chance good on surge. Keep it.

[cyan notch]

theyre both great imo crits do a chunk of damage on surge

[sly matrix]

Alright

So you guys recommend me upgrading this one to purple?

[tropic lagoon]

ye

good staff

[sly matrix]

aight

thanks

[cyan notch]

nah

just go for orange

youre not gaining much just going to purple

[tropic lagoon]

I think that expectation was implicit

but in order to get to orange you usually have to go through purple

[sly matrix]

sprint eficiency... this is the time to change, right?

[tropic lagoon]

doesn't matter

[sly matrix]

I never sprint with the staff

[tropic lagoon]

you can upgrade it to orange and change later if you want

[sly matrix]

Always take the dueling sword out

ah ok

[tropic lagoon]

upgrading doesn't lock anything, but once you change a perk or blessing once, the other perk/blessing is locked forever

IE

[cyan notch]

lol

[sly matrix]

oh shit

[tropic lagoon]

you won the lottery

[coarse dagger]

What would you guys say are the top 2 blessings for a purgatus staff?

[tropic lagoon]

just roll that sprint efficiency to something else

[sly matrix]

we did it reddit

[tropic lagoon]

warp flurry/nexus

always warp flurry/nexus

[sly matrix]

Less goooooooooooo

[cyan notch]

flurry doesnt work on surge atm

[floral solstice]

flurry doesnt work on surge rn

[sly matrix]

Well

[tropic lagoon]

i'd keep it though

[sly matrix]

Whenever they fix it

I have it

[floral solstice]

when they fix it then you can rebless again

[tropic lagoon]

I just need warp nexus in general 😦

I have an 80% burn purgatus

but no warp nexus

[sly matrix]

I should go for maniac/flak for the other perk, right¿?

[tropic lagoon]

eh, up to you really

[sly matrix]

I got unarmored

[floral solstice]

i prefer flak yeah

[sly matrix]

ok

[tropic lagoon]

it gets cheaper each time you reroll until it costs nothing

so you can always play with it

[sly matrix]

I got maniac

Sorry its my first upgrade Im excited

[tropic lagoon]

the real utility of surge is stunning things anyways

[coarse dagger]

I got carapace and unyielding extra damage on purge

Not sure if worth it yet

[floral solstice]

replace carapace with crit chance

[coarse dagger]

okay

[sly matrix]

tell me why you prefer flak over manic on the surge, please

[coarse dagger]

I still have no real good blessings for it either. I feel like the top tier blessings are a myth

[clear heath]

hmm, did they fix flurry for surge?

i swear i saw it work in game
gonna test in psykanium

[floral solstice]

just to kill scabs faster especially shotgunners, i usually staff blast straggler dregs if they dont need to get stunlocked so i dont run unarmored

[sly anvil]

Someone show me a god roll stave

[sly matrix]

its finished

my baby now

[sly anvil]

Wow

[clear heath]

nvm i'm seeing things

bad game

[floral solstice]

oh you said maniac not unarmored, my bad

but yeah i still dont go maniac on surge

not like you're bursting muties with surge

flamers you can just stun once then staff blast on the head

or melee

[clear heath]

Surge isn't realistically gonna kill anything maniac
It does sometimes kill flak enemies like gunners/shotgunners

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-octo-tentacles-beautiful-sculpture-gif-8846990

[clear heath]

You can go higher
you could get 25% damage

[sly matrix]

so should I just infinite reroll til 25% flak?

[clear heath]

if you have the patience for it yeah

This is what i have

crit damage bad but it's the best option i had

hello fellow sparkheads, I did a thing https://i.gyazo.com/e1463222b26e3c57bd69b4d39820846d.png

but now I'm unsure where to go with this next

any pro tips? I've been out of the loop for a few months((

[long wharf]

scrap it and start over

[tacit jungle]

ye fair enough

[long wharf]

both of those blessings are trash

very nice staff ruined by Hadron, yet again

[tacit jungle]

I figured as much. I'll just keep using it for now, it'll do me fine in haz 3 and 4

[long wharf]

I swear I can hear her cackling as she upgrades our gear

[worthy wedge]

I'd probably keep it but yeah those aren't great blessings

[long wharf]

if you have a Transfer Peril unlocked, slap it on there

doesn't matter which blessing you overwrite

whats the best perks for surge staff?

[tacit jungle]

alas, I don't have that yet but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you

to help with heresy+, reroll one perk to the horde one (poxwalkers and infected)

[fair kayak]

Can someone explain how Unstable Power actually works

is it between 0-4% power depending on peril?

what is power?

what is the difference between power level and power

[leaden thunder]

damage + cleave + stagger

power affects all of thos

power level is mostly irrelevant

[fair kayak]

okay but why

[leaden thunder]

power level is just the stats added together

it's confusing terminology

[fair kayak]

no shit

[leaden thunder]

+power % is completely different

[fair kayak]

So Executor says 12.5% power level stacking up to 5 times

so thats roughly 60% powerlevel if you stack it fully, WTF does that even equate to

[leaden thunder]

idk why executor is worded like that

I am pretty sure it's just power

fatshark man

[fair kayak]

okay.....

so then

Executor is 12-60% power

and Unstable is 4%?

[spice veldt]

I think you're confusing slaughterer and executor

[leaden thunder]

sluaghterer is broken as fuck, compared to like 75% of other blessings

[spice veldt]

from what others have been saying, Unstable Power gives you 4% power at 30% peril, 50%, and 97%

[fair kayak]

What im really asking is, whats the difference between power and power level

and what does power actually do

[spice veldt]

the weird thing is that it gives you 4% power twice at 97%

[leaden thunder]

I think executor is just poorly worded

but in other cases power level is your stat total

but afaik executor should just be +% power

[fair kayak]

if executor is just power

then its like 5 times as good as the others

[leaden thunder]

you mean sluaghterer

and yes

it is

[spice veldt]

it is an extremely busted blessing

only outdone by the likes of heavy Sword's headtaker

[fair kayak]

no

And there are claims that Warp Flurry only works on Void.

[fair kayak]

Executor says 12.5% power on weakspot hit stacking 5 times

[leaden thunder]

it says 4%

[spice veldt]

12.5%? dafuq. did they buff it?

[fair kayak]

oh shit ur right

[spice veldt]

pretty sure it was still 4% as a t3 9! FS

[fair kayak]

I was readin wrong one

[long wharf]

that definitely looks like warp flurry working properly

[fair kayak]

nvm crisis averted

[long wharf]

makes it one of the best blessings for surge now

[fair kayak]

FLurry/Nexus Surge

is the way

[long wharf]

until we get Blazing Spirit on surge

[idle bay]

Though it feels like it works.. but with some inconsistencies.

I have T4 version

It will be fun if by mistake we will get it on Surge 🙂

[summer prairie]

it does not look like it's working

surge does that kind of jump without flurry

-40, -50% would be very obvious

[idle bay]

So Surge have variable charge time built it?

[summer prairie]

No idea why it doesn't start from 0 charge

maybe it starts charging during the animation

but even the first seems to do it

[cyan notch]

pretty sure its not working either

[maiden wolf]

I made a poll: https://www.reddit.com/poll/119zvqk?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=DarkTide&utm_content=t3_119zvqk

[soft cliff]

Is Warp Flurry confirmed to be broken for the Purgatus staff?

[broken quail]

Brunts armory sucks, 400k and only a few items over 350. Once the coins we've saved up are burn it won't be worth anything

[cyan notch]

yeah even tapping rmb doesnt start it from 0

Iirc it still works on trauma. But haven't checked by myself.

[summer prairie]

you can get some benefit on trauma but not full
