psyker-class

[solar cloak]

I got that by accident

[night violet]

It’s honestly just rng and persistence

[viral solstice]

whats pick n mix again

[night violet]

I was stuck at 4/5 for so long

[viral solstice]

brain burst a bunch of elites?

[forest coral]

Bb 5 elites back to back

Yeh

[night violet]

5 BBs in 12 seconds

[viral solstice]

o ye thats just kill the gunner swarm

or a few gunners and a trapper/nade guy

after a lil bit of damnation u should get it if u got the spoody brain burst f

[forest coral]

I got it fairly quickly with quick joins

[leaden thunder]

I got the blow your self up one on my vet

[solar cloak]

wait what

you can get that

[night violet]

The plasma gun bug stills works?

Yeah

[solar cloak]

with the plasma?

[leaden thunder]

idk if it still does

[solar cloak]

weird

[olive ember]

Glitched at some point iirc

[leaden thunder]

but it did when Igot it

[forest coral]

That’s amazing

[night violet]

Plasma explosion is apparently perils to the game

[forest coral]

So vets are just psykers

[night violet]

But better

[forest coral]

The cooler older brother

[solar cloak]

plasma guns are gun psykers

[forest coral]

[night violet]

Plasma gun > other guns

Psyker still favorite though

[restive slate]

Hold up what plasma bug?

[viral solstice]

they need to let the plasma gun use deadshot

[solar cloak]

btw does a t4 warp nexus exist

[olive ember]

Yes

[viral solstice]

should be 5-20

was in lua when i looked ages ago

i assume just rare tho

[sleek yacht]

Trauma blessing recommendations?

[solar cloak]

when you blow yourself up and kill 3 specials or was it elites

[olive ember]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1079040931111649340/image.png

[solar cloak]

you get the psyker penance

[leaden thunder]

either I think

I killed like 3 maulers

with it

"tactically"

[olive ember]

Idk if I’m lucky but I got two warp nexus IV in a row

[solar cloak]

damn I need that

[olive ember]

So from my experience not that rare but maybe I got lucky

[restive slate]

Also lovely Gandalf there @solar cloak

[olive ember]

Since I’ve only consecrated like 4 staffs

[solar cloak]

ty 🧙‍♂️

Just missing a T4 warp nexus

[lunar hollow]

how is this

its in mr melks casino

[restive slate]

Warp Flurry still not fixed for Purgatus right?

[solar cloak]

thats what everyone says ye

[solar cloak]

the modifiers and perks arent good

[candid crest]

burn too low, perks are meh, blessings are ok. opinion: if you are not in a major bind to get a purg - pass

[olive ember]

Burn is mid blessings are aight but you would replace flurry perks are bad since they are overkill and therefore redundant

It’s p good as a placeholder otherwise meh

Blessing fodder at best for one of the t3’s

Def wouldn’t spend resources to optimize

[solar cloak]

man I forgot that skin makes my voidstrike staff look like a purge

[olive ember]

Lmao

[restive slate]

A Purgestrike

Bowling ball of fire

[echo turtle]

I’m gonna try a toughness regen gun build

wish me luck fam

[manic halo]

ayyy im not insane this blessing is real

I wish blessings could be shared across staffs

[echo turtle]

that only works on primary tho i think

[manic halo]

WHAT

[solar cloak]

aw that sucks

[shadow wigeon]

Well that's... disappointing haha

[manic halo]

Bruh fathshark and me are gonna have some words

[shadow wigeon]

I would stll get it just to complete slot.....

[manic halo]

ye I got it because I was excited

lemme se if its only primary

[echo turtle]

teat it in the grinder

let us know

[manic halo]

ye doing it now

):

primary fire only its seems

[solar cloak]

fatshark make a good description challenge (impossible)

[shadow wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/pour-one-out-fake-fake-pour-wtf-key-and-peele-gif-17954798

[manic halo]

Fatshark will pay

[shadow wigeon]

I have not played purg on damn for a long time... does anyone use channeling?

[solar cloak]

the one that makes you uninterruptible?

personally don’t use it

[viral solstice]

wait surge works on secondary for voidstrike right

[shadow wigeon]

That is what people want it for, although I've never seen it confirmed.

[viral solstice]

well buncha people here got it

voidstrike with surge havers its works with secondary on voidus strikus no

fanx brunt

gonna bless this up and get bloodthirsty for sure

[willow parrot]

i had a dream last night that they gave psyker the thunder hammer for some reason lmao

[manic halo]

thats so stupid god damn

why isn't it on everything

surge staff double explosion would go demonic

[shy fiber]

Does Surge only affect the primary fire?

And not the secondary fire?

[manic halo]

ye

[shy fiber]

Wh

[manic halo]

yeah

[shy fiber]

What's the point then

[shadow wigeon]

you mean on trauma

[manic halo]

https://tenor.com/btifQ.gif

[manic halo]

sorry yeah

on trauma

but It SHOULD

[viral solstice]

triple fart

[shy fiber]

I thought it created two explosions on trauma staff

sadge

AYO WHAT

Yay or nay?

[forest coral]

Yay if u don’t better

[shy fiber]

I never tried voidstrike before

This looks fun to use

[crimson kiln]

Heavy sword OP, pls buff

Wrong channel -_-

[shy fiber]

lol

[restive slate]

That's pretty good not gonna lie, just need to find Transfer Peril

Yea buff Heavy Force Sword pls, I mean what?

[shadow wigeon]

Sustained on void is only for primary, I believe

[shy fiber]

I can just farm for other staves then

It seems really good

[shy fiber]

Does surge work on it?

[restive slate]

Surge primary is still bolts (sadly)

[shy fiber]

so surge isn't worth it really

[restive slate]

Surge is an amazing cc weapon

Just won't kill much with it

[leaden thunder]

you mean the surge blessing?

[viral solstice]

ok just found some random reddit thread when the belssing first dropped

[shadow wigeon]

He is referring to blessing surge.

[viral solstice]

and they were all saying it worked on secondary for voidstrike but not trauma

so is ok

i will continue to believe it does

[shy fiber]

Surge blessing.

[viral solstice]

and if it doesnt then i will simply go back to doing what i normally do

[shy fiber]

I can just try to farm it

[viral solstice]

u can try

ive got 30 orange voidstrike staves rn

and no surge

[shy fiber]

I'm looking for videos specifically on the surge blessing but I just find the same 1 Darktide youtuber

And like

Nothing specifically about the blessing

[viral solstice]

im oppressed by emmanuel macron president of france

[candid crest]

I can offer my services to test it (and do have a surge and a worthless voidstrike to use it on) but it’s not gonna be earlier than 12 hrs from now, Crab, if you want

[forest coral]

That’s shocking

[smoky fractal]

is it me or dueling swords are just like... meh

[viral solstice]

and like 100 blue ones

[forest coral]

Duelling swords are good all rounders

[smoky fractal]

i feel like theyre just longer combat knives

and take forever to kill anything

[forest coral]

You’ll want rampage on them

With MKV you can 2-3 shot most elites with head strikes on heavy

[restive slate]

What about the Rending on weakspot for Duelling swords?

[forest coral]

Also good

[smoky fractal]

is 5 overall best mark?

[forest coral]

Imo yes, II is a bit easier to use

I’m not a fan of IV because lack of overhead strike

[restive slate]

I like 2, easy combos

[forest coral]

Ye

The shank staggers almost everything leading to easy follow up

[smoky fractal]

i also dont have the best blessing tiers

[restive slate]

Shanks is super fast too

[smoky fractal]

ill try one again after i get a decent force sword

[echo turtle]

Gunker still works fellas

the vet we had was an absolute madlad

this was the toughness gunker build. Works fine

[cyan notch]

pictures of screens

[twilit flicker]

Nearly tied for lesser enemies, He killed most of the specials but you have near five times the staggers, nice!

[cyan notch]

🤮

[echo turtle]

I need a screenshot solution

[shadow wigeon]

win shift S

[leaden thunder]

or just

f12

if you are on steam

[echo turtle]

ur a saint

[twilit flicker]

Printscreen and ctrl+v on paint

[restive slate]

Question, how does one do the Duelling sword move tech?

[echo turtle]

uhg steam doesnt save it@locally

oush the dodge button

success

Anyways, 2 things from that game

Gunker still works. Same as before

Toughness regen build works pretty good too

[solar cloak]

I use shareX on all my photos

[cyan notch]

why wouldnt it work tho

its worked before

[echo turtle]

Why wouldn’t gunker work?

passive quell was what made it so tasty before

[shy fiber]

Gunker?

[echo turtle]

passive quell is enough that you can ult, burst burst burst then shoot until ult is ready

[viral solstice]

the thing is

guns do a lotta damage in darktide

this is my scientific observation

brunt givin me a lotta 370+ voidstrikes rn

im boutta be betrayed

[solar cloak]

brunt is merciful, hadron however is not

[echo turtle]

gun psyker, the build I used it screenshotted above

[echo turtle]

voidstrikes seem pretty weak I dunno

[viral solstice]

i mean theyre all gonna hit t1 blessings no surge

i can feel it

hadroooon

[solar cloak]

bowling ball staff fun to use when they line up

[shy fiber]

which gun you using

[viral solstice]

its called gun

[shy fiber]

damn

thats hot

[viral solstice]

known to friends as barry

[cold geode]

finally have a bead on how many blessings i have, took like an hour and a half to fill out the spreadsheet

[viral solstice]

but why

[exotic igloo]

I hate these psyker penances.

So annoying.

[sinful mortar]

Is it weird that I like Psyker melee?

I find I do pretty well in Force Sword combat

[forest coral]

Psyker melee is very decent because of stam regen

[torpid olive]

Purgatus or Voidstrike?

[sinful mortar]

Purgatus

[forest coral]

purg will carry harder

[sinful mortar]

Purg on chokepoint hordes goes hard

[torpid olive]

Hm, I kinda liked the bit of disruption the Voidstrike does

[sinful mortar]

One time ended up on a mono purgatory run on Metalfab

With 4 psykers

Was super fun

[forest coral]

Both have their own benefits and strengths but just find the one that goes well for ur style

[torpid olive]

fully charged Voidstrike does good damage though

[sinful mortar]

It was random matchmaking too

[forest coral]

Nice thing about psyker is literally any combo of staff and melee works to an extent

[sinful mortar]

I also got the force sword perk that blocks projectiles

[forest coral]

gunker is limited in effective guns but works when built right

[torpid olive]

Today I tried out the Mk V duelling sword and I love it

[sinful mortar]

So, that helps for advancing on enemies

[forest coral]

Mkv my beloved

[sinful mortar]

Acccatran go brrrrt

[torpid olive]

Dancing around enemies

[sinful mortar]

Bro, dodge-quelling is so broken

When I discovered the dodge-gell Mechanic I looked like a Souls player memorizing the attack patterns of rain

I beat a Rager with just dodging and bb

https://tenor.com/view/dark-souls-gif-25869644

[vagrant frigate]

anyone got a video of surge working on voidstrike

i have so many orange voidstrikes and no surge yet

[sinful mortar]

Also, my purgatus has reduced cooldown on chain attack, so peril resist go brrrrrt

[torpid olive]

I just wanna get to max level so I can finally do some builds

Leveling is ass

[forest coral]

Psyker levelling is rough but the level 30 traits make the class feel

[sinful mortar]

I personally like to play as a damage spreader with no big damage focus. Psyker, to me, is meant to spread damage and weaken enemies to make the run less difficult

[torpid olive]

I suppose this is what it becomes past 3rd difficulty, no?

[sinful mortar]

If I can significantly reduce enemy health to allow the vets and zealots do their thing, we can run through faster

[sinful mortar]

Yeah

You lose a lot of your instakill potential, at that point it becomes damage and health mitigation

[torpid olive]

I'm all good with that, I like to be support

[sinful mortar]

I have hundreds of hours in the medic class in numerous games

Support comes naturally to me

[torpid olive]

I enjoy being a buff battery

[sinful mortar]

1. I'm shit at shooting/aiming
2. I'm really good at identifying danger zones and moving among them
3. I can identify who does and doesn't need supporting

Call me a coward of you will, but I make sure my team can keep the momentum

[smoky fractal]

i mean.. thats what psyker does

[sinful mortar]

To me, the roles looked like this

1. Veteran - The generalist with a leaning towards precision and overwatch
2. Zealot - Spearhead that creates space and can quickly turn the tide of a battle.
3. Ogryn - Anchor of the assault to ensure the party doesn't get overwhelmed and can provide overwhelming firepower when needed
4. Psyker - Support that spreads a lot of damage over a wide area and weakens tougher enemies

[smoky fractal]

you should definitely play zealot and roleplay lol

[sinful mortar]

Oh I definitely will at some point

I have a really good Commisar/Inquisitor voice

[wide lake]

Siblings, mind if I ask if all 2 feats is good for fire staff?

[forest coral]

What do you mean?

[sinful mortar]

Go for the Auto charges on ally kill, peril resist, those are must haves

[leaden thunder]

fire staff doesn't need the auto charges

I still use it tho because I am lazy

[wide lake]

this

[leaden thunder]

replace the first teir with essence harvest

[obtuse crypt]

Nah

[leaden thunder]

everything else is fine tho

[obtuse crypt]

Use the second perk for infinite toughness on burning g hordes

[leaden thunder]

for fire staff the soulblaze kills don't count for the warp kills

[obtuse crypt]

They do

[forest coral]

1/3, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1/3, 2/3

These are the options all viable for purg imo

[wide lake]

auto-gain warp from friend kill sadly in compete with reduce cooldown on elite kill

and I like reduce cooldown on anygame

[leaden thunder]

it's much easier to just passivly get warp charges on purge

due to AB

so you don' need the warp charges on ally kills

[forest coral]

AB if you really want to focus hard on horde clearing

KB if you want general all rounder playstyle

For clutching, KB purg is better

[fierce sinew]

kb is better for panic brain bursting crushers and not much else on purg

AB smokes shooters and is the better clutch option for that reason imo

[wide lake]

oh yeah... i forgot about those thicc dastards in full-armor when thinking about all-2s feat

[forest coral]

Either or works in this case, everyone got their preference

[obtuse crypt]

I'd like to point t out they very much do, only downside to the feat is that you won't have much toughness regen outside of huge hordes but getting 10% toughness per burning a shitty roamer is pretty dank ngl especially if you have the uninteruptable blessing for the fire staff

[fierce sinew]

yeah AB or KB are both real choices, I don't consider the middle toughness perk to be though

[forest coral]

It’s not

[fierce sinew]

essence harvest is just better

[forest coral]

Essence harvest or quietetude is the way

[viral solstice]

hech i feel u

im at like 30 or 40 or something lol

[obtuse crypt]

Warp Absorption damnation gang rise up ✊

[forest coral]

No, sit down.

[fierce sinew]

I'm sure they're out there

there are baboons running kf on purg out there

[viral solstice]

[fierce sinew]

people do all kinds of things

[viral solstice]

ive used warp absorption a bit why not fuck it

its warp and it absorbs

[wide lake]

~~WA rise up because EH gang rezzing them ~~

[viral solstice]

oh shit hadron blessed this with blaze 4

that means if i can get bloodthirsty on another

i got the setup

[leaden thunder]

[wide lake]

holy-beloved it's the burning sword

[forest coral]

Get slaughterer as a blessing and ur set

[wide lake]

i want it

[forest coral]

[viral solstice]

i got slaughterer 3

[wide lake]

burn meme best meme

[viral solstice]

but dont wanna put slaughterer on it i wanna save it for bloodthirsty

[forest coral]

Same

[viral solstice]

keep it pure

[forest coral]

Where is bloodthirsty

It’s a myth

[viral solstice]

plus im not using it because rn i have the worlds most beautiful brick rashad

[forest coral]

Where is she

[viral solstice]

true Rashad Gamers ™️ know why this is a brick

[wide lake]

make it red and name it lumberjack

[viral solstice]

[forest coral]

Tree choppa

[wide lake]

Oak Feller

[viral solstice]

in fact this is the first weapon i've seen get the opposite of a noreg

where it shows no hit on ur screen

then server tells u u got it

[wide lake]

no mispelling

[viral solstice]

not even ur game knows what the rashad does

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/XtingMqpCbxCX/d1337xJ4Wq8s?invite=cr-MSxTYzMsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[forest coral]

I still find it funny the games gives u like so many different axes and one or two is distinctly better

They’re just axes bruh

[viral solstice]

ye the rashad is the best due to using 8th dimensional techmology

[twilit flicker]

just carried a game with the ius mk3 shredder autopistol hahaha

[wide lake]

Sibling went to make meme countering your argument, the debate is done

[obtuse crypt]

[viral solstice]

is perfectly gud gun

so long as u got pinning fire it gud

[twilit flicker]

its purple, ill show you one sec

[viral solstice]

o ye blaze away pretty similar

[leaden thunder]

you upgrade that and slap pinning on it

[viral solstice]

if u got blaze away pinning thats the dream team

[leaden thunder]

and it's 10/10

[viral solstice]

then u just shoot 69000 power boolet

loook at this foul beast getting beheaded by the noble rashad

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/Xv6zX8J2tZ23y/d1337059K9h9?invite=cr-MSwwT1EsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[twilit flicker]

beautiful

hahha

[wide lake]

then Vet gave you Disappointed Muhammad look because his bolter had been empty for last 15 mins

[twilit flicker]

the vet had voice on too and he had a plan, we followed and it worked out well, er no! it was one of the zealots! sorry, just excited

[smoky fractal]

oh shit force sword runs slaughterer

[cyan notch]

indeed

one of the best blessings for fs

[foggy tangle]

nexus / flurry or nexus / transfer peril for voidstrike?

[viral solstice]

i think standard is transfer flurry

but u have nexus locked?

[foggy tangle]

actually have 1 with nexus and 1 with flurry locked

around the same stats

[viral solstice]

i suspect nexus flurry is best just because with judicious f usage etc u will be able to burst horde clear better with flurry stacked and nexus / transfer will need next to no quelling but wont have the burst

i would say do flurry transfer

and try it on some stuff

the transfer sustains the spam its kinda the normie void build i thonk

nexus flurry is chad tho

i did that a bit

just gotta be ready to quell it up

[foggy tangle]

I used to play with transfer haven't played since the updates

the nexus one has a little more dmg on it so maybe ill mess with that

[viral solstice]

doing the hi intensity assassination with 2 vets and a bot

i type before the boss

"we will fight at the back of the room opposite his spawn"

i ping it

they agree

they both then stand on his spawn

then walk into the middle of the room

and die to his melee

it was hard not to type something brusque

[wide lake]

carapace+mutant perk good on force sword?

[forest coral]

Carapace is bit of a waste since perk doesn’t really get you hitting any new break points

Mutant is excellent tho

[wide lake]

yeah, 1 shot muty feel pretty good

[forest coral]

you can one shot muties with a headshot with special

Yeh

[wide lake]

but i'm finding thing to replace 15sprint effi

[forest coral]

Either flak or something for hordes

[spice veldt]

does carapace help to 2shot crushers? with heavy special headshots?

[forest coral]

Don’t think so, not last time I checked

https://streamable.com/69xy14 this was without carapace perks at all on damnation

[cyan notch]

u need some warp charges too i think

[spice veldt]

at least for me, carapace would help me one-shot a crusher with crit and max slaughterer stacks

[wide lake]

In meat Grinder Damnation
6 charge + no Carapage
bodyhit 600ish
heavy bodyhit 900ish
headhit 840ish
head heavy hit 1100

[forest coral]

What level slaughterer? Even with 3 I can’t one shot them with full stacks

[wide lake]

what are Crusher hp again?

wait do you get slagughterer stack from brain-brust?

[spice veldt]

I tested this like 2 days ago, but I dealt something around the ballpark of 2k damage with crit and max t3 stacks at no warp charges

[wide lake]

if yes, then it's another variable I didn't accounted for

[spice veldt]

any enemy that dies from your damage while you're holding a weapon with slaughterer will give you a stack

such as flayer or Soulblaze killing an enemy

[wide lake]

so, brain-bursting don't give you one because you holding grenade, as far as game mechanic go?

[spice veldt]

nope

[wide lake]

nope it give or nope it do not give

English is confusing sometime

[smoky fractal]

so what do you do with blazing spirit?

[spice veldt]

ah right lol. it does not give slaughterer stacks

in general, blessings on different weapons do not interact with other weapons unless specified

one of the exceptions is a revolver blessing that increases your revolver crit chance when you kill with your melee

[smoky fractal]

laughs in crucian

[wide lake]

ah, ok. next i'll try force sword 6 stacks with carapace to see if it improve any

[smoky fractal]

it was patched tho

[wide lake]

IF I CAN ROLL ONE

[smoky fractal]

zealot was so broken with that glitch, we will never be that overpowered again

[spice veldt]

all weapons being able to crit at a decent rate

[smoky fractal]

i was running crit build with a thunder hammer

https://tenor.com/view/its-a-blood-bath-daniel-craig-kate-mckinnon-saturday-night-live-massacre-gif-16620291

[wide lake]

all I read is "On roll of unmodified 6, delete this"

got the +25 cara. brb

[spice veldt]

btw, do you have the reroll until rarity mod? that one is super useful

[wide lake]

yes and it still took me this long

[spice veldt]

whew

[wide lake]

In meat Grinder Damnation
6 charge + 25% Carapage
bodyhit 840
heavy bodyhit 1100
headhit 1000
head heavy hit 1400

so, reduce from 3 to 2 hit in heavy head hit with +25% Carapace

[spice veldt]

woohoo

I assume it'll do the same damage on mauler heads as well

[wide lake]

or 1 heavy head and 1 light head, leaving Crusher with ~11 health

[spice veldt]

with Warp Unleashed (new name of Psykinetic's Wrath), it would prob push the FS over that threshold

[wide lake]

can't 1 shot Mauler head with +25 carapace

but charge body 1 shot it because it's flak

[spice veldt]

might make it easier to kill maulers in a situation where they're mixed in a horde with slaughterer stacks and whatnot; though you'd prob just use a staff for that

[wide lake]

if mauler is mixed in with hoard closing in on me, I'm done lol

[cyan notch]

shove em on the floor

kill trash then deal with em later

[spice veldt]

I'm a trauma user so I can be real intimate with a corner and still be safe

I'm really greedy for elites kills, so I personally try to snipe elites as fast as I can

activate special -> push commons away -> light or heavy the mauler

[wide lake]

cry in Voidstrike Force

[near wyvern]

Did they change the name or is this your attempt?

[spice veldt]

they actually changed the name

[wide lake]

damn, +25 unyielding will reduce Bulwark from 5 lights to 4 and 3 heavy to 2

[spice veldt]

I know; it's amazing

[wide lake]

so I have to choose between carapace and unyield

[spice veldt]

I personally just BB bulwarks now that we can two shot them on damnation

[cyan notch]

carapace better imo

[spice veldt]

reapers are a tossup, but they also now die in 3 BBs

[cyan notch]

u usually arent specialing bulwarks

[spice veldt]

BB -> light combo -> special is enough to kill bulwarks as well even without unyielding

[wide lake]

yeah, I usually BB everything higher than average mob, sword is panic weapon in my case

[spice veldt]

if you're using it as a panic/hordeclear melee, then I guess flak could be nice as keemo suggested

I personally use the force sword as my main weapon so I might go for carapace

[wide lake]

I'll go with Carapace too, cuz when i'm overwhelmed, it's mauler i have to worry about

[stuck shoal]

what is flak actually

i have +15% dmg to flak armoured on both staff and sword

idek what it does

[spice veldt]

dreg bruiser heads, scab bruiser bodies, head and body of scab stalkers/shooters/gunners, mauler bodies, scab ragers, chest of reapers

[smoky fractal]

^ those get extra damage

[stuck shoal]

ah

would carapace be mauler heads and such

[wide lake]

Carapace is Mauler's head, armor part of Balwark and entire Crusher body

[spice veldt]

for weapons that deal explosions or don't target a specific body part (trauma, Purg, rumbler explosion, flamer, etc.c), enemies have a "base node" that those weapons will target; so Dreg Bruisers are considered Unarmoured by the trauma staff

[wide lake]

TIL

[stuck shoal]

oh so for purgatus it just does not matter

[spice veldt]

I think +dmg perks affects Soulblaze dmg against enemies with that base armor type

[stuck shoal]

ah

[spice veldt]

i haven't personally tested this, but this is what others have said

I know for a fact that power bonuses from the current weapon you're holding will affect Soulblaze dmg (such as Thrust, Slaughterer, etc.)

[viral solstice]

its called the based node

[spice veldt]

ur based

[near wyvern]

This is correct

Soulblaze damage scales with +damage

[wide lake]

do left-click purgatus aim at base node? if yes, i'll go check which have which base node

[near wyvern]

Or +armour type

[near wyvern]

All Purgatus attacks are counted towards the base enemy type, not any body part armour

Same for Soulblaze and Trauma secondary

[viral solstice]

so after a bunch of plogryns spawned in hi5s and the rashad was doin not bad its actually ok vs them

u get a decent amount of weak spot hits

i got hit in first half but cant be fucked re-recording it perfectly so just imagine that doubled

think it would be like 40s-1min if u went pretty unga

in an actual game

[wide lake]

huh, most enemy have base node type of what u think it will have

[spice veldt]

rare moment of your intuition working in darktide

[wide lake]

except gunner/shotgunner that have flak instead of unarmored, both dreg and scab

[spice veldt]

and it crumbles

[viral solstice]

that makes sense tbh

[wide lake]

it's reasonable

[viral solstice]

their flak is on the lower parts o f their bodies see

very advance

[near wyvern]

Hi tech potato armour

[spice veldt]

where's my weakspot damage on my trauma staff then if it's hitting their lower parts

[wide lake]

theirs' already rotten away, so no weakspot for you

Found new way to sike people.
Every staffs share it's skins
That mean I can put Surge yu-gi-oh head on my Void Strike and have Zealot went WTF on first engagement

[solar cloak]

I should really change my skin lmao, people mistake me bringing a purge staff

[manic halo]

https://tenor.com/bncVp.gif

[cyan notch]

proof?

[manic halo]

ok but watch the perks are gonna fuck it

[manic halo]

[olive ember]

and the blessings

run n gun

[viral solstice]

ok i was bored and cant sleep so tried to see how many rashading opportunities u get in a plogryn fight

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/XwgUf5nufJtoB/d1337esU6pXk?invite=cr-MSw2UU8sMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

u could shave 5-10s off this

with better hitbox placement

also if u deliberately trigger his charge thats a safe double hit

but

my estimate of roughly 40s wasnt too far off

with unyielding / decimator that could easily be 30s

[spice veldt]

damn good DPS against plogryn

something i'll never see as a force sword user

[restive slate]

I can sorta hear Disposal Unit in my head watching that

[spice veldt]

i assume it's less DPS to dodge his charge than it is to simply take it on

[viral solstice]

no reason to

every charge is a free hit

then u just block

so long as u have non zero stam u take zero damage

u only block his charge and uppercut because spacing the uppercut can be a little inconsistent

and i got bored and just decided to block it

and neither of those chip thru guard

[spice veldt]

true

[viral solstice]

so when he charges u just charge a heavy, release into block

dodging givin up da free damages

[spice veldt]

oh yeah, and you can also cancel out of the guardbreak animation

[viral solstice]

yep

with weaponswaps

[spice veldt]

that's what i do against daemonhosts now

[viral solstice]

but i got bored and stopped

[spice veldt]

smh

don't wanna break your fingers?

[restive slate]

Glad we can finally study and breakdown enemy attack patterns with the mod

[viral solstice]

its pretty marginal anyway

[spice veldt]

what about that extra 0.01s

[viral solstice]

most of the diff comes from getting weird headshots over his arms

[spice veldt]

and against his stupid ass undodgeable udnerhands

[viral solstice]

because that axe is a rashad

u can dodge them but u need to be spaced right

and the spacing for them is just annoying to maintain

[spice veldt]

i've only been able to dodge them from a distance

[viral solstice]

so i couldnt be fucked

ye basically

he tries to push u

[spice veldt]

but at that point, i'm pretty sure we're straight up dodging their hitbox

[viral solstice]

all the time

yes

u are

[spice veldt]

and our dodge is only to break his melee tracking

[viral solstice]

its an undodgeable attack in lua im pretty sure

like rager 1-2

[spice veldt]

yeah

mfers

[viral solstice]

but it doesnt really matter if ur dodging or simply evading if u push buttan it work

key point is that in theory u could be holding an attack while dodging it

but not while blocking

but ye its all very marginal

[spice veldt]

i spent so much time in the meat grinder trying to dodge it at close range before realizing it was an undodgeable

true

[viral solstice]

the hardest thing is the 3 hit whip combo

because specifically with that fucking rashad

[spice veldt]

holding a heavy; your axe also has thrust on it right

[viral solstice]

yes

only damage blessing

i could put unyielding and decimator on

for da dps (damage per screenshot)

but i dont really care its still pretty chonky

thrust is very useful tho because it means the holds dont mean a big dps loss so

im ok with that

[spice veldt]

i think the 3 hit combo can be dodged at close range

[viral solstice]

it can

i do it in that vid dont i

i forget

u can dodge it stationary practically

[spice veldt]

oh yeah you do

[viral solstice]

but im trying not to give up too much ground

[spice veldt]

i just saw one instance where you dodge it from a distance since you're already too far to get a hit in

[viral solstice]

ye im trying to hiot him with the tip of the hitbox

which will sometimes catch him

on his nose

[spice veldt]

boop

[viral solstice]

but its a lil too far

u can actually hit 3x in that combo but one of them has to be sneaked over the arm

which would be fine with a normal axe

[spice veldt]

don't say that with the rashad in the room

[viral solstice]

still can be done

just needs a bitta finesse

[lucid terrace]

Yo, I got a trauma staff and it has terrifying barrage on it. Any ideas on what to replace it with?

[spice veldt]

what's the other blessing on it

[lucid terrace]

Warp flurry 3

[spice veldt]

i'd go for rending shockwave

not that it does anything for the trauma staff itself

but it'll help your teammates' melee

and the vet shooting his kantrael at the crusher

[lucid terrace]

Gotcha.

[spice veldt]

maybe focused channeling if you're really greedy for kills like me

i get greedy for ranged kills and stay too long out of cover, breaking my charge whenever i get my toughness broken

[viral solstice]

[spice veldt]

Blazing Spirit, Warp Nexus, Surge are too unreliable; Sustained Fire only works on LMB if I recall correctly; nothing needs to be said about Transfer Peril; Run n' Gun is meh since you can shoot while sliding

[obtuse crypt]

I like blazing spirit on my force sword since I got a teir 4 and teir 3 shred, works nice with the level 30 blaze skill

Slaughterer still fucking hilarious though

[lucid terrace]

Idk, focused channeling seems better for something like purg to me

But I am greedy

[spice veldt]

i tend to remember all the instances where a juicy cast gets interrupted

where my rending shockwave is completely useless against ranged enemies

aggggh

not that I personally need rending shockwave anyways since I run the force sword whose special attack has no reduced damage modifier against carapace and whatnot

[lucid terrace]

This is gonna be a real pain trying to get that damn blessing. Didn't know I had to get the same weapon for the re-bless to work lmao

[spice veldt]

yeah it turns out that staffs aren't part of the same weapon family

not even voidstrike or trauma which are both equinox

[austere fractal]

buy white or green quality weapon from shop and upgrade with plasteel to gain blessings, you can usually collect around 700 plasteel in one N5 match, and it cost less than 200 to upgrade a green weapon

But still needa grind hard

In this way it’s easy to collect low level blessings, but for max level blessing it’s better to praise for your daily contract shop

[still hearth]

Idk if I've just been absurdly lucky

But I've gotten mostly good gifts

And mostly T3 stuff from upgrading

[viral solstice]

ye but its like 48 axes and guns 1 surge 1 purg

that kinda ratio

[still hearth]

Gifts are gifts

[north cradle]

I just want Peril Transfer, man

[spice veldt]

i got a t3 rending shockwave as a gift

but that was it

no force sword as gifts

no other trauma staff as a gift

and from brunt's, I keep getting force swords with more than 60 warp res

[olive ember]

its 4 AM and what am I doing?

watching this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtFH2bFCfg

quickly someone make a bad take on reddit for me to rant about

[still hearth]

Surge is the best staff and does the most damage.

[north cradle]

To anyone else who dabbles in Sharpshooter, do you tend to get more out of Sniper or Demolition Expert

[olive ember]

sniper?

[olive ember]

As a surge staff main I approve of this message

[still hearth]

You were meant to agrue my reddit tier take

Smh

[still hearth]

I run the one that gives reload speed

[north cradle]

Tactical Reload?

[olive ember]

which tier is that again?

[still hearth]

Because I'm a braced autogun murder machine

[north cradle]

Seems like a waste on MG XII

[olive ember]

like what are the three perks

[still hearth]

And you need it sometimes for the uptime of Volley Fire

[spice veldt]

it's the lvl10 feats isn't it

[still hearth]

I mean yeah if you do XII

Sniper or Grenade is probably better

But I fall asleep with XII so I don't use it on Vet

[olive ember]

grenade master means free grenades

so yeah

[still hearth]

I want to play Doomguy simulator, Vet after all

[olive ember]

I run funny free grenade very 60 s

[still hearth]

I did that then I realized I rarely find a use for grenades

[olive ember]

Just spam em whenever tbh

Ragers? spam em

Crushers? spam em

Bulwarks? spam em

I do run bleed on the grenades tho to increase their effectiveness tho against everything besides crushers

[still hearth]

Bleed sucks

[north cradle]

I prefer the reload speed on Elite kill as a back pocket kinda perk

[strange wigeon]

mine are mostly purple shit, would really like to know how the chances are calculated because I play high int as often as I can and mostly do all secondaries(grims are wonky because pub carriers have a tendency to die)

[still hearth]

I run both reload speed feats

And reload speed perk

And speed loader

[olive ember]

Its mostly to finish off trash mobs

the bleed makes killing trash mobs alot more consistent

[strange wigeon]

most of my good blessings came from that 3 hours when the armory shop was busted the day before the update and most items had t3 and t4 blessings

[olive ember]

tbh tho I don't really run vet

[still hearth]

Currently I'm like 6/4 legendary/epic

I've not played a ton lately though

[olive ember]

originally I planned on running a recon las vet with grenades to help hoard clear

and then they nerfed infernus and recon las to the ground

[still hearth]

They'll buff it again

Slowly

[olive ember]

if I cope hard enough

tho I care more about a force greatsword than vet

When i'm not playing damnation I'd rather just ooga booga as a zealot in malice

and I've given up on finding the perfect weapon

so I'm just gonna go back to the thunder hammer

[cyan notch]

john shootgun

[forest coral]

I want cleaver

[north cradle]

Two more missions before I get all cosmetics on Veteran

Does the metal mask helmet muffle your voice?

I hardly see anyone wear it

[obtuse crypt]

It doesn't

I wish it did

Then my vet would sound all gaudrsman like

[summer prairie]

The BB smart targeting lets you lock onto even specials/elites that are shorter than the horde https://streamable.com/n56ym7

very inconsistent though. At least for taller targets you can just hold lmb and sweep down

[cyan notch]

hmm

i still jump anyway

[bold flint]

do i cop this

[spice veldt]

if you have nothing better; the 49% mobility hurts

i personally value mobility much more than warp res

though that's because i use my force sword as my main weapon

having +20 flak as a perk is nice

[still hearth]

If only Force Sword had good dodges

Instead of Deflector

Imagine Force Sword with Knife/DS dodges

Sliding across the map like a crab

[viral solstice]

[forest coral]

That low mobility gonna be rough

[proven raven]

It has unlimited to make up for how shit they are 😛

[still hearth]

Unlimited stumbles.

[forest coral]

I have seen fs players accidentally yeet themselves off a ledge sideways during panic

I am also guilty of doing that

[spice veldt]

i have ptsd from doing that a lot during my early hours

so i think really hard about whether i should dodge whenever i'm near a ledge

[still hearth]

I'd trade infinite dodges

For good dodges

Any day

[forest coral]

ya

[still hearth]

It really is what kills the FS for me

[forest coral]

its why knife and duelling swords are ❤️

[still hearth]

I'll have to try it with Deflector, since that probably helps.

[forest coral]

I still like my FS as main go to tho

Deflector will save you from shotgunners

[spice veldt]

i wouldn't give up infinite dodges

[forest coral]

or surprise clowncar gunners

[spice veldt]

feels terrible on a low mob force sword but feels fine on a high mob force sword

[forest coral]

FS high mob clear is honestly decent

as long as slaughterer on it

[spice veldt]

seems like they balanced the cleave damage around force sword not having slaughterer

so with slaughterer, the cleave damage is rather quite good

force sword heavies have a cleave of 6, so they can cleave 6 poxwalkers or 8 graoners

we don't talk about their lights

[forest coral]

the lights should almost never be used

even for single target imo lol

Except for the horde control

[spice veldt]

except 3rd light or to get to the 2nd heavy faster

[forest coral]

light>heavy, rmb reset etc

yeah

[viral solstice]

grooners

[still hearth]

Force Sword

[spice veldt]

even then, the 3rd light has some wonky lower damage mods against certain enemies

[still hearth]

Has dummy thic cleave

[forest coral]

https://streamable.com/u4i7l8

[still hearth]

But the swings are so wonky

[forest coral]

I personally love it since it’s not just block push spam or lmb mashing

It’s nowhere near vermintide combo but it’s something

[spice veldt]

the cleave is rather quite good on it so it's actually not a terrible idea to replace the block cancel with a push

to bunch the enemies up

[forest coral]

yeah true, i guess im used to just backpedalling and relying on the cleave itself to stagger

[spice veldt]

i only realized the dummy thick cleave of the force sword with the new mods

spawning a bunch of poxwalkers in place to dunk on

[forest coral]

its donward horizontal cleave is what makes it so good

since it almost always will hit head

[still hearth]

6 cleave on Heavies is great and it also has good damage distribution

It might have the highest % of infinite cleave damage I've seen

It does about 50% on unarmored and just below 40% on infested.

[spice veldt]

cleave damage is capped at a certain minimum, which is quite nice

[still hearth]

Yeah

[inland sand]

just rolled a level 4 waRP NEXUS on void, so went with the blazing blessing

now to make the other version of Void

wtb lvl 4 warp flurry and quell on WS

[still hearth]

Now when they fix Warp Nexus

So you don't have to live at 97%+

You got a nice staff

[ornate hamlet]

while i appreciate that you're someone who actually posts gameplay vids when discussing builds

purg > all other options to psyker for hoard clear.

[cyan notch]

horde

[ornate hamlet]

lol

[spice veldt]

hoarding kills

[still hearth]

FOR THE HOARD

[ornate hamlet]

[strange wigeon]

Brunt's armory definitely the best for hoard clear

[ornate hamlet]

fatshark spelling worse than mine so idec

[strange wigeon]

after the update

[ornate hamlet]

metres bro, metres

[still hearth]

El metres

Also its not even incorrect.

[ornate hamlet]

it's incorrect by my american standards

[still hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/america-hurricane-happy4th-of-july-america-flag-independence-day-gif-21259025

[ornate hamlet]

waiting for fatshark to give subclasses

[rocky cedar]

That'll be 20 bucks thanks

[ornate hamlet]

inb4 psyker doesn't get a subclass that utilizes guns but certain ppl still harp on about how much they like the rifle on their psyker

[twilit flicker]

Ill take melee psyker over gun psyker but ill be happy with either

[still hearth]

Purge >>> XII > Voidstrike = Trauma

[ornate hamlet]

every psyker is a melee psyker, we don't have the option of using 2 ranged weapons sibling

[still hearth]

[twilit flicker]

Thats fair, so new weapons then?

[strange wigeon]

one per quarter seemed like an optimistic but doable statement when I thought that the game will launch as a buggy mess with some undercooked systems and that the "classes" are mostly finished because they're just making them from the talents/grenades/ults that were already done after they abandoned the archetype system. After launch when it was obvious the game was a buggy unfinished mess where everything was undercooked I'm guessing we won't be seeing the first one before autumn

and that's optimistic

[ornate hamlet]

what psyker looked like before darktide btw

now we just make little sparks hit heads once in a while and take 10 times longer to kill something than just swinging an axe at it.

[twilit flicker]

BB does out do most forms of damage, except maybe a couple exveptions. Is knife better for boss killing than bb?

Problem is having to dodge or block.

And i couldnt fight a poxwalker in real life

[still hearth]

Knife is theoretically better at single target DPS than any other weapon

[viral solstice]

bb is not very good for killing bosses

when u factor in ur actual effective dps

[forest coral]

If I claim something, I will always make sure to back it up with evidence.

[twilit flicker]

It sure is safe though

[viral solstice]

yeah

its just safe hard to fuck up consistent

and better than like

idk

a lasgun

[ornate hamlet]

i can appreciate it, way too many ppl make a whole bunch of claims and start arguments and never have anything to back it up

but yeah personally, to compliment surge, i prefer MK V combat axe over FS

i normally run purge+ MK II combat axe

[twilit flicker]

The key is to just never argue, we all say dumb things (terrible advice if everyone followed it tbh, I tend to see myself as a skeptic so im in no shortage of doubt.)

[forest coral]

That’s fine and the beauty of psyker

Passive stamina regen makes virtually all melee options viable in their own way

I just don’t want to use antax on psyker because my vet and zealot uses them a lot

[viral solstice]

yeah brain burst feels like half the speed of rashad

ish

on a plogryn

[rocky cedar]

Cerebral is great for bosses though

Huge team booster

[ornate hamlet]

the real choice for psyker is the staff,
the melee wep is to compliment the stave's weakness.

purg is amazing for horde clear, so best melee weps are high single target dps weps used to quickly drop specialists, elites, and higher DPS on certain monstrosity than purg

surge is trash at horde clear, so best melee wep options are strong at horde clear, but can still be used to quickly kill certain specialists, elites, and good dps on monstrosity (MK V combat axe suits this role best imo)

[viral solstice]

o ye i was purely just thonking of solo like

i wanna shoot da amage

[ornate hamlet]

best melee weps to compliment trauma and void? i honestly couldn't say, probably MK V combat axe

[viral solstice]

[rocky cedar]

I like the mobility of DS and enjoy Chainsword but MK V is probably objectively a better choice

[viral solstice]

can i perchance sell u

this rashad

[rocky cedar]

No crab

I don't like the sky THAT much

[viral solstice]

it 2 shots bulwarks

[rocky cedar]

You're before your time

I'm sorry

[viral solstice]

we're all before our time

and after it too

man is the only animal that cannot live in the present

[forest coral]

Existential kreb

🦀

[viral solstice]

[cyan notch]

pretty sure yea bb has pretty mid dps compared to melee even with kb

[twilit flicker]

How to get good? I did try fighting bosses earlier and found the most success with bb and ranged options (because they are safe.)

Im more consistent if i just stay back

[cyan notch]

i was testing kb bb vs boss and purg does more

but yea bb is safe

[twilit flicker]

Well, I do always reach for another option if kinetic barrage is down

I almost never bb with it down unless were in a slow moment, I pretty much save it for the crushers and bulwarks.

I guess I overvalue bb huh?
Its just so consistent

[cyan notch]

u can test it yourself with creature spawner

[twilit flicker]

I have, I just suck at fighting

Need practice!

[clear hamlet]

I'm leveling psyker rn and I'm kinda confused. Sometimes I reach 100 peril and can quell it and sometimes I can't, forcing me to use my ult. Is it a random thing or am I doing something wrong?

[twilit flicker]

If you do anything at 100 with a staff in hand you blow up 100%.

Does precharging BB do that too if you reach 100?

[clear hamlet]

But sometimes I can quell?

[forest coral]

You can safely use warp skills under 96% iirc

Even if it causes u to hit 100%

However over u go kaboom without f

[clear hamlet]

Oh I see

Thanks

[still hearth]

It depends on what you use

But all should be safe below 95%

Its also why the 97% for max stacks on "based on peril"

Is so stupid

You can barely even play at 97%

[strange wigeon]

when psykers regularly instaboomed with surge

good times

they really should rework based on peril and buff it in all instances

[clear hamlet]

I'm having fun with psyker I just wish leveling was a bit faster

[spice veldt]

all warp abilities except brain burst are safe to use at 99%

[uneven drift]

Do special conditions and side jobs on malice. Works pretty good.

[forest coral]

Psyker at 30 is very good

Good luck on levelling

[leaden thunder]

psyker below 30 was pain for me

at 30 it's quite fun even if I don't play it much

[cyan notch]

thanks

[forest coral]

Blood no

[cyan notch]

almost finished 3

1.2 psykers to go

[forest coral]

Why not another class

[uneven drift]

A want to make a new zealot just because of voice, but i'm too lazy to make penances and roll weapons again

[forest coral]

Lol same

I regret making judge voice

I want fanatic

[leaden thunder]

tbh

I kinda want to make a judge

it has a lot more personality then it lets on

[cyan notch]

i levelled john shootgun on gamepass was bored immediately

im not playing big stupid guy

[leaden thunder]

if I could have the fanatic's voice with the judge's personality

[uneven drift]

I'm not regretting of judge, but BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE gets me.

[leaden thunder]

it'd be 10/10

[cyan notch]

zealot is the only one id play but probably another subclass

[uneven drift]

Judge definitely cool to. EMPRAH DEMANDS YOU DIE

[ornate hamlet]

the only other class i tried was zealot, still didn't even make it past like lvl 10 or so before i went back to psyker

[forest coral]

I’ve made psyker, zealot and vet

[ornate hamlet]

played psyker in beta, played psyker on release, never even really looked back.
the other classes are boring af

[forest coral]

Vets lines are the funniest imo

Judge is basically just your typical overzealous religious dude

Psyker loner spits facts

Vet is just like, some insubordinate dude

[leaden thunder]

judge seems to actualyl care about people

at least at higher levels

had a very wholesome line towards ogryn

it was something like "I am an abhuman is that bad"

"the emperor made you the way you are"

or something like that

[cyan notch]

(yes)

[still hearth]

Judge is the least racist against Ogryn

Which makes them the best

They're still mildly racist towards them

[unreal dust]

Finally got Pick and Mix done

ffff

[valid marsh]

Wonder if they'll release extra voices for the classes

[still hearth]

Base voices?

I doubt it.

At least not any time soon.

[strange wigeon]

new voiceactors not a chance, new voicelines will be added with time

already had a couple of sessions

you can track the work by watching Ward's twitter

[bold flint]

if you lock on with brain burst you can finish casting it at 100% without blowing up (as long as it was started at or below 97 peril), you can also safely cast any other peril generating attack as long as you arent on 100% peril when you do so.

[strange wigeon]

I always use his twitter to see when the updates are coming for VT, he always tweets when he's in the studio with VAs and the content they're recording often comes a couple of months later, sad thing was realizing how little work was done before beginning of 2022. by tracking the "mysterious NDA project" he was working on

[wet jacinth]

Do you use the Peril resistance feat?

[clear hamlet]

the level 10 one? yes

[wet jacinth]

Iirc that's what's causing you to not be able to quell immediately sometimes when you hit 100%

[still hearth]

If you're using BB sometimes the thing you're charging on dies too soon but if you keep charging it can snap to something else without letting you know which will make you explode since it resets the value you can safely charge up to.

[wet jacinth]

Supposedly it's a bug

[still hearth]

There is also a bug afaik that BB sometimes takes more peril than it should, but then it quells it.

But it sometimes doesn't, or something.

I've never had the issue myself.

I just suck at peril management

[wet jacinth]

I played psyker mostly out of my classes

And noticed the not being able to quell early on

Friend told me it was because of the peril resist feat

But I never went in depth to testing it

[cyan notch]

fixed now

[wet jacinth]

I believe I changed over to psykinetics wrath though

And then wrack and ruin... well its fucking garbage

[still hearth]

They just don't know what to do with it

The buff made absolutely no difference

Oh now I get an insignificant soulblaze on every BB on elites/specials instead of only kills?

WOW

That is still shit.

Thanks

[cyan notch]

they should make it burn monsters on hit too

[still hearth]

They should make it

So it's a % chance on hit

To soulblaze

[wet jacinth]

Kill elite enemy with force attack causing a soul blaze explosion

[cyan notch]

[still hearth]

Give is Soulblaze Infernus feat

[wet jacinth]

Either chance proc

Or cool down

[cyan notch]

enough chance proc shit on psyker

[still hearth]

Force Attacks is okay but they should make more muggle shit

No

RNG is core

[wet jacinth]

Seethe

[still hearth]

99% chance to instant kill any enemy

1% chance to instantly die

[wet jacinth]

Becomes a bug and it works on friend fire

[still hearth]

"Intended"

[bold flint]

i wonder if making it so that it explodes soulblaze stacks would make it good

[still hearth]

That what explodes soulblaze?

[bold flint]

the the the

[wet jacinth]

The the

[bold flint]

wack and wooin

[still hearth]

It already explodes soulblaze?

[forest coral]

It would be funny if doing bb on target already on fire to create follow up explosions

[wet jacinth]

Wrack and ruin atm is just magic. The enemies suddenly become on fire

[bold flint]

i mean deal all its tick damage in a single hit

not spread it

[still hearth]

Ahh.

That would be
