You see my panick weapon is peril blocking kekw

echo turtle
#

Thats why the axe is so good with surge

long orchid
#

Getting good with melee is crtical for surge

echo turtle
#

you can kill your way out of anything

#

exactly

long orchid
#

once you do, you really feel like the jack of all trades

echo turtle
#

I had a game with surge and axe, I led the team in chaff kills

#

450, 350 of that was axe melee kills

molten sparrow
#

I have no idea what stat can be a dump stat, so is this a good set of stats please?

olive ember
#

I mean I’d like to say I’m good with melee

#

Just that I use FS

echo turtle
#

that staff is great

spice veldt
#

i'd consider dmg, crit, and charge rate altogether to be dump stats on surge

molten sparrow
#

Cool

echo turtle
#

Have you tried an atax?

olive ember
#

Crit iirc is actually one of the more important stats

echo turtle
#

crit and qull

olive ember
#

Because surge staff has innately high crit rate

echo turtle
#

you can get around 50% all said and done

#

so reroll maniac to crit chance and ur pretty golden

olive ember
#

The dump stats are damage and charge rate iirc for surge

echo turtle
#

Yes

molten sparrow
#

Thanks

olive ember
#

So yeah your stats are p good

echo turtle
#

better than my staff lol

#

FS imo is not ideal at all paired with surge

olive ember
#

Oh no it isn’t

spice veldt
#

i think it's fine; cleaves 10 poxwalkers at max slaughterer stacks with a minimum of 70-ish damage

olive ember
#

I just like using it

echo turtle
#

cuz, you can stunlock and BB. what you struggle to deal with with surge is also what FS struggles with

#

ah

#

word

olive ember
#

And it’s the weapon I perform best with

spice veldt
#

although that's the 2nd heavy

olive ember
#

Used it since CBT so yeah

spice veldt
#

lights are dog shit

echo turtle
#

Well, if you ever feel like mixing it up

#

antax pairs amazingly and with KD you are a monster

olive ember
#

I’m considering swapping over to purge staff tbh

#

Had two games with zealots and neither of em brought a flamer

#

Actually hard tilted

leaden thunder
#

based tho

#

fuck the flamer

olive ember
#

One of the damn zealots ran thunder hammer + revolver

leaden thunder
#

based as hel

echo turtle
#

get builds going for both

#

I swap around

olive ember
#

Troll as hell lmao

leaden thunder
#

Thammer is fine

olive ember
#

I do I just have to get my purge up to gold

leaden thunder
#

revolver is kinda crap

echo turtle
#

I have a preset lighting,flame and gun build all locked and lodes

leaden thunder
#

but w/e

olive ember
#

Thammer WITH the revolver tho?

rigid sky
#

Purgatus = get all of the praise lines

echo turtle
#

eh all purges are good lol

olive ember
#

Zero horde killing

#

All elite killing lmao

leaden thunder
#

Thammer can control the hoard

echo turtle
#

Can I shill my fire build at you?

olive ember
leaden thunder
#

Sitgryn yeah

olive ember
#

Sure

echo turtle
#

TH is the shit

olive ember
#

I mean I have a purge build set up

echo turtle
#

my fav weapon for zealot

olive ember
#

Just need to yeah

#

Actually use it

echo turtle
#

this is the build I would us kinetic shield on, if I stacked toughness more

#

but this is how I typically run it. I think thats how most people are runninf fire staff at T5

hollow current
#

Another day, another melk shop with no staves or force swords.

echo turtle
#

essence harvest though, its where its at

#

Gonna have to grind and gamble friend

olive ember
hollow current
#

😩 🔫

olive ember
#

I desperately want to run a bolter zealot but idk what weapon I’d pair with it

#

Probably hsword honestly

leaden thunder
#

Heavy sword

olive ember
#

Idk why I love the FS but god damn I hate the eviscerator

leaden thunder
#

you using the movset of it?

olive ember
#

I forget but I psure I was using it correctly

#

Prob just gonna stick with a thammer + flamer tbh

echo turtle
olive ember
#

👌

echo turtle
#

I’m hoping I can get a good mega autocrit sword at some point. It seems like it would be good

leaden thunder
#

I want a soul blaze on crit one with it

#

just seems fun

#

even if not good

echo turtle
#

its easy to apply soulblze already

#

it’s definitely not good

#

not worth giving up 75% extra power for. But some people get hard dicks for turning enemies blue

shipping tool?

forest coral
#

*snipping

echo turtle
#

for screenshots?

forest coral
#

Yeh

echo turtle
#

I was playing in my basement gym

forest coral
#

wait what

echo turtle
forest coral
#

echo turtle
#

this is how I usually play

forest coral
#

That’s slightly cursed but go on for the gains haha

#

Most unique set up I’ve seen in a while

echo turtle
#

bahaha

olive ember
#

Amazing

#

So do you just like

twilit comet
#

Does anyone know how warp nexus is supposed to work? Wiki descriptions says: "Gain 2-5% and 8-20% Critical Chance based on current level of peril."

olive ember
echo turtle
#

My beloved says it’s great

echo turtle
forest coral
#

So if ur clutching

#

Do u like just pedal extremely hard

echo turtle
#

yes

twilit comet
echo turtle
#

obviously

forest coral
#

Ah yes, simulating psyker’s anxiety moment

#

Very immersive

echo turtle
#

anxiety simulator

echo turtle
#

I have pedals connecting to my forward input

#

the character only moves if I pedal

smoky fractal
#

oh damn

echo turtle
#

lol jk

smoky fractal
#

-_-

restive slate
#

To play as immersive Psyker, attach an explosive to your head when you blow up

smoky fractal
#

lmao

olive ember
#

They gotta implement a “run away with cargo” mission

#

Where all you do is run away

#

Endless hordes one player Carries the rest escorts only objective is to get to the end

restive slate
#

Something akin to the l4d2 bridge mission?

olive ember
#

10/10 and then a chaos space marine bursts through a wall and then you gotta run away from them as well

spice veldt
#

i do think the game is lacking in gauntlets

#

more situations where you need to run through a section

olive ember
#

They could have like trash mob npcs and tanks helping you delay the space marine and inevitably getting destroyed

#

Since we are inquisition members at 30

#

So you get to protect important cargo while everyone else is just a sacrifice for once

restive slate
#

Should have missions only accessible to lvl 30

#

And really dangerous mission types at heresy and damnation

#

Should make things fun

olive ember
#

I mean there’s a specific achievement for beating a “flash mission” on damnation

restive slate
#

What's a flash mission again?

olive ember
#

I’d really hope that’s something cool if there’s a specific achievement for beating that mission type

#

No clue

#

I’d assume some special mission type

restive slate
#

More Investigation missions...

dim cradle
#

ideal blessings for trauma staff?

olive ember
#

Trauma KEKW_ogryn

#

No clue tho in all seriousness

restive slate
#

Rending Shockwave is nice

rocky cedar
#

So is warp flurry

#

Also funnily enough run and gun lets you use the alt fire while sprinting

olive ember
#

Does transfer peril even work on the trauma btw

rocky cedar
#

Not actually helpful but funky that you can

rocky cedar
olive ember
#

Alright so useless

forest coral
#

Imagine if it worked for everything u hit in a mob

#

Would be so busted

lofty sable
#

what melee you guys digging on the psyker these days?

spice veldt
#

if you were a god gamer, I guess you could headshot an enemy with LMB to set yourself below 100% peril and continuously activate your FS special

olive ember
twilit flicker
#

did some practice fighting bosses, doing better with the dueling sword than the knife

olive ember
#

Range probably

forest coral
olive ember
#

Makes dodging attacks easier

forest coral
#

Think bout it.

#

everything u nuke in aoe, no more peril and rinse repeat

restive slate
#

They should turn the aoe into a sphere so that Trauma can hit enemy weakspots in the center

forest coral
twilit flicker
#

hahaha, he had enough of it and outta there

restive slate
forest coral
#

Knife does way more damage to monsters but duelling swords mobility and range also make it super comfy to fight them

twilit flicker
#

against an ogryn you can back dodge and return with a heavy attack

#

with a knife you have to stay close

forest coral
#

You nuke them way faster but ye, gotta stick closer

#

Force sword vs monsties kinda plays like a weird combo of both

smoky fractal
#

i feel like knife is meme on every class even zealot

#

all zoom

restive slate
#

It's that move tech, gotta go fast

forest coral
#

All zoom, bullies all specials except carapace, wrecks bosses

#

Is slower than ur grandma in clearing hordes

smoky fractal
#

cause if im running knife on my zealot im memeing my brains out

spice veldt
#

you can kinda go fast on the force sword if you hold the heavy and run

#

hold the heavy during a slide to avoid the initial slowdown and you'll sprint faster than normal

forest coral
#

Also side dodge till destination or off a ledge

#

Like me

spice veldt
#

weakling who needs railings to be safe

forest coral
spice veldt
#

I haven't dodged off an edge in 10 hours

long wharf
#

in the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, there is no OSHA

smoky fractal
#

how do yall feel about this

forest coral
#

That mobility is sad so ur gonna need to really learn to anim cancel and side dodge

spice veldt
#

40 mob but it has flak and high dmg rolls so it's prob fine

forest coral
#

But otherwise it’s stronk sword

restive slate
smoky fractal
#

yeah it feels slow af

spice veldt
#

weakling who isn't safe even with railings

smoky fractal
#

this is my other one but i havent touched it

spice veldt
#

what are these perks

#

holy shit

twilit flicker
#

tried spamming the block attack against the ogryn, it IS way more effective

smoky fractal
#

yeah ive been getting lucky lately

#

what blessings/perks should i switch out on that

#

or its kinda bricked

spice veldt
#

prob fine with slaughterer, but I'd ideally have exorcist/deflector/bloodthirsty on the other blesding

#

damage is a bit low, not sure if you'll miss any breakpoints

smoky fractal
#

ill probably surrender blazing and try another i few other 360+ i can roll to orange to try and get some t4s

spice veldt
#

the only t4s I've gotten from consecration are bloodthirsty and riposte over 500 hours

#

though there are some prepatch hours to count

smoky fractal
#

like this one fingers crossed

spice veldt
#

I hope that it gets bricked so that you shall not feel joy

crystal jolt
#

do people like crit chance or crit damage on purge?

echo turtle
#

chance

echo turtle
#

crits give flame stacks, which is where much of the damage comes from

spice veldt
#

I am at zen

restive slate
spice veldt
#

most peaceful person after getting 60+ warp res force swords

clever lynx
#

Hi. What perks should I aim for with Voidstrike Staff?

spice veldt
#

oh well I'm actually fine with that cuz I think deflector is mid

restive slate
restive slate
spice veldt
#

besides deflector?

restive slate
#

Yup

spice veldt
#

I say bloodthirsty, exorcist, or uncanny strike (esp when paired with Purg)

restive slate
#

I wonder if the damage increase with peril has any effect

spice veldt
#

the thresholds for unstable Power are supposedly borked

#

it actually only stacks 4 times and gives you the last 2 stacks at 97%

restive slate
#

That is kinda borked

spice veldt
#

yup

#

another blessing that's been fatsharked

restive slate
#

Uncanny strike seems fun, does it apply Rending to player or enemy?

spice veldt
#

player, self buff

#

it applies rending to all active damage as long as you're holding the force sword

#

including Soulblaze ticks on crushers

restive slate
#

Fun

spice veldt
#

I don't like it because force sword doesn't have the stagger to take advantage, and it really only works on lights

#

or against carapace for heavies

#

but it is there and rending isn't totally useless

#

if you want to roleplay a zealot by burning through crushers

restive slate
#

I see, I've got a shovel with Uncanny strike on Vet and I was surprised how I could hurt Crushers

spice veldt
#

iz pretty good

restive slate
#

Would be fun to try off meta builds

spice veldt
#

exorcist for quietude or to just quell

#

bloodthirsty isn't off meta for force sword, but crits are cool and good

restive slate
#

I've got an exorcist fs, can give it a try

spice veldt
#

as for the other blessings that I can't recall off the top of my head, I don't recall them being particularly meaningful or impactful to matter, even for off meta

leaden thunder
#

an uncanny + decimator/skullcrusher shovel

restive slate
#

Uncanny+Skullcrusher is mine

leaden thunder
#

is it decent?

smoky fractal
#

ive been wanting the +impact and +damage on stagger

leaden thunder
#

you don't want the +impact

#

skullcrusher is the damage on stagger

#

shovel staggers a lot on the heavies so it's better to just get more damage

smoky fractal
#

i know, im just messing around with off meta things

#

like im looking for inspiring barrage and cavalcade on bolter

leaden thunder
#

inspiring is

smoky fractal
#

but i already a have pinning + rending

leaden thunder
#

very much not good

smoky fractal
#

so like do i need another of the same roll

leaden thunder
#

since it just increases coherency regen

smoky fractal
#

we were all running unoptimized gear in damnation cause of incomplete crafting and we were doing just fine

#

and its fun to experiment

twilit flicker
#

what do you guys think of the chainsword? I rarely see it

smoky fractal
#

its.. okay

#

its best roll gimps rev so

#

i dont like it because of that

leaden thunder
#

Dstrike?

smoky fractal
#

shred + dstrike

leaden thunder
#

Dstrike got mega nerfed

#

for no reason

smoky fractal
#

lmao

#

i mean i didnt really use it before

#

if i had that itch id just run evis

#

cause your rev just passing through is like... whats the point

leaden thunder
#

it's not as much of an issue becuase it only ignores hit mass on the actual crit itself now

smoky fractal
#

so it catches now?

#

if thats the case i'll try it again

leaden thunder
#

unless it crits on the rev

smoky fractal
#

oh then its still meh

leaden thunder
#

just take savage sweeps with it

smoky fractal
#

i switched to that but at that point its just a smaller evis

#

but its still a good choice if youre not a zealot

#

i just really dislike not being able to use dstrike and rev

cyan notch
#

except pushattack sucks major balls and special stagger is inconsistent

leaden thunder
#

I mean

#

a lot of weapons push attacks suck

smoky fractal
#

i usually push into heavy anyway

cyan notch
smoky fractal
#

i guess a good non zealot roll would be rampage and savage

spice veldt
#

knife is the only one (for Psyker) that stands out

smoky fractal
#

it does good on single targets

echo turtle
#

I’m gonna try out stacking gunner and sniper resistance on all my curios to get 80-90% DR on them with the help of kinetic shield

smoky fractal
#

lul

echo turtle
#

I have died twice today in clutch scenerios to a sniper clipping me

smoky fractal
#

feels bad man

#

the worst is getting pre fired when turning a corner

echo turtle
#

this one A bombers nade had me slowed

#

a sniper juuuuuust had an angle on me

smoky fractal
#

omfg bombers in this game are all fucking tom brady

#

perfect spirals 100 yards

echo turtle
#

I dropped like 4 reapers, gunners, a couple snipers already, 20 shooters to die like that

spice veldt
#

I swear they ninja buffed bombers because I don't recall them throwing grenades so often before

echo turtle
#

they drop the nades right into your pocket

cyan notch
#

seems the same to me

echo turtle
#

so yeah, I’m gonna fuck with a 90% DR skew

#

see how that goes

cyan notch
#

usually if theres nade spam its cuz theres 2 of em

spice veldt
#

even one of them can lock down a door or corridor

#

will straight up pop a nade before the last fire wears out

smoky fractal
#

the spam is fine they just always manage to get it at your feet

#

every.single.time

spice veldt
#

and I absolutely hate how the nade explosion itself slows you down

#

doesn't even do damage

#

just to insult you

smoky fractal
#

and bomber resist is a joke

#

cause fire is overtuned

#

but if enemies touch fire, walk through it like an entertainer walking on coals

cyan notch
#

its like 15 damage per tick or something

#

on bad guys

smoky fractal
#

lul

echo turtle
#

if bomber resist also made you resist losing all your toughness

#

and it worked on flamers

#

yeah

#

I would fuck with that

smoky fractal
#

same, id love to just smack them in their smug faces

#

with their fire bs

leaden thunder
#

if bomber resist did anything to the dangerous parts of bombers

viral solstice
#

yeah... the EMOTIONAL damage

limber silo
#

Is warp flurry still bugged and useless?

echo turtle
#

So, just did another T5. I was very glad to switch back to stacking sniper DR. I took a hit that would have dropped me otherwise.

all round I had my gaurd broken maybe 4 or 5 times, but it didn’t result in a followup that hurt me.

at one point I back dodged into a swarm that I wasn’t aware of, which downed me. if I had kinetic deflection I may have made it out, but it’s iffy

#

currently running 55% sniper and gunner DR. Kinetic shield pushes that up to 65-88%
mixed health and toughness curios

viral solstice
#

i run no dr of any kind and will never die*

#

*except when i die, but thats lag, bugs or natural causes (suicide)

#

i will never take responsibility

echo turtle
#

snipers hve been my bane lately

forest coral
#

when snipers say its sniping time and snipe their shot all over u

pine relic
#

Power of the 60% corruption resistance

smoky fractal
#

That’s why I stack general corruption on my zealot

olive ember
#

I stack max hp instead

#

Helps against corruption, but also useful the 90% time you aren’t grabbing grims

smoky fractal
#

I do x3 toughness, on zealot

#

Cause we can facetank everything 🙂

cold geode
#

so what perks are best for void strike?

olive ember
spice veldt
#

weapon swap out of guardbreaks

cold geode
#

just got this thing from the emprah

spice veldt
#

transfer peril + warp flurry is considered to be the best

olive ember
# limber silo Is warp flurry still bugged and useless?

Works on trauma and voidstrike. Not sure on purge. On surge it works unless you have warp nexus as well, at which point it breaks again. Basically, run nexus and terrifying barrage on surge and purge. Flurry on voidstrike and trauma

feral verge
#

Hipfire bad

smoky fractal
#

I still don’t have a good voidstrike

#

Might as well farm

#

I dunno hip fire on purge seems alright

feral verge
#

@cold geode this is my godstrike

olive ember
#

I still don’t have a good flamer and thammer

#

But that requires me to play zealot

feral verge
#

It's an auto cannon

#

I rarely have to quell peril

cold geode
#

thanks 😄

olive ember
#

Probably wanna reroll the perks tho

#

That t2 perk could prob be replaced with t4 of same type if you really want to min max

cold geode
#

yea, got 25 flak on it now, unless something is better

olive ember
#

Dunno tbh

cold geode
feral verge
#

Not bad

#

That will def tide you over until you can farm for better

cold geode
#

honestly, its the best emperahs gift ive ever gotten on my psyker

this is my god purga

#

i wil get rid of run n gun when they fix warp flurry on purga

viral solstice
#

why get rid of run n gun

#

dont u want to gun while running

#

think about it

#

imagine how much of ur time u spend running

#

that could also be GUNNING time

#

efficient time management

feral verge
#

i forgot to mention this my walk only build

#

i only walk

#

so waste of perk

viral solstice
#

its a sacrifice

#

but somebody has to do it

#

they should have walk and sword on melee weapons

feral verge
#

yeah i always felt the game was in deep need of that

viral solstice
#

why should gun get all the fun

olive ember
viral solstice
#

and on the shotgun

olive ember
#

Facts don’t care about your feelings

viral solstice

they should have "and relax"

Two guys quit at the end of the game, they were probably mad at our zealot went to fix the machine and used the healing on himself.

im just endlessly farming voidstrike staves

#

ive lost sight of why i started

its just what i do

#

im not even looking at the ones i make

#

i know they are sadness

#

in the end what else can u do

#

u know what is unironically annoyin tho

#

melk offering no staves for a week

#

that shit is annoyin

#

What hunting a surge blessing does to someone PepeHands

viral solstice
#

more staff than crab at this point

cyan notch
viral solstice
#

they should just add 3 variants of each staff

#

that are the same

#

pad the loot poolk out

solar cloak
#

its over siblings

#

Penance over

undone elm
#

ok i really really hate the flame staff. its just a dollerstore brand flamer

#

dps is just bad

#

i swear to you. a gun ment to simply stun foes is a bad idea. and its bloody warp fire why would it just tickle foes anyway

#

hell its more fun to play other classes because the initial charge is not the final cost for peril its an end spike that makes it kinda a joke to play

#

i get that to some extent for balance but man the staffs all feel like a hit or miss

shy fiber
#

😳

undone elm
#

the lihgting staff does well when it wants to. it will normally only spike to like 2 or 3 people max. then suddenly hit like 6 people

shy fiber
#

FUck

#

Melk bouta make me a trauma staff main

spice veldt
#

trauma is my love

echo turtle
#

there’s just ine massive issue with that staff

#

It’s laking the most important blessing

undone elm
#

the psyker really needs some work and extra love from the devs rn

echo turtle
#

the blessing that turns it into a surge or purge staff

spice veldt
#

a ranged DPS staff would fix a lot of psykers problems

echo turtle
#

most powerful trauma staff blessing available

undone elm
spice veldt
#

yeah, all fuckin staffs are CC

shy fiber
#

I want the rending blessing

spice veldt
#

for some ungodly reason

undone elm
#

the lighting staff is hella dope but its just super unreliable for the wrong reasons

echo turtle
#

There are ranged DPS staves

#

They use ammo tho

undone elm
#

the psyker should be the highest or 2md highest dps out of the classes

#

its not that i main them either

#

im a preacher main

#

but like come on. they are litrally glass cannon mages

spice veldt
#

I don't think that Psyker should necessarily be at the top for dps

echo turtle
#

they arent glass cannos

spice veldt
#

but we should have an option comparable to guns

echo turtle
#

They are more durable than vets in CC

spice veldt
#

our passive defenses are ass because of our shit base HP toughness

#

but our stamina is amazng

undone elm
spice veldt
#

and our Toughness feats are pretty unmatched

echo turtle
#

They aren’t? outside of malice anyways

undone elm
#

the issue is its like im playing a high crit rogue class but with no dps and all support

echo turtle
#

Then you’re playing the class wrong my friend

undone elm
#

idk man the weapons dont have any real weight save for the power sword

spice veldt
#

people sort of neglect Psyker's toughness feats and just look at his base HP/Toughness and write it off

undone elm
#

well its not that im saying they are weak

spice veldt
#

of course, Psyker has no equivalent to confident strike in their class melee

undone elm
#

they just dont have the same skill sets as a more frint line type

spice veldt
#

our build diversity is severely lacking yeah

undone elm
#

honestly they feel left behind currently

spice veldt
#

lacking class melees

#

duelling swords are pure mobility

echo turtle
#

Its a hard class to learn

spice veldt
#

force swords are pure RNG to get a good one

echo turtle
#

I frontline and top most of my games for damage kills etc

#

so, it’s doable

#

but you have to realise you are t a glass cannon CC

#

and not play like that

undone elm
#

what bugs me the most is trying to use the lighting staff to its fullest

#

it really does fight the player weirdly like its bugged

echo turtle
#

using it to its fullest means not using it half the time

spice veldt

I consider the lightning staff to be a high skill floor low ceiling weapon

echo turtle
#

it’s a tool that is specifically good in certain situations

spice veldt
#

easy to use, but not much depth to it

echo turtle
#

you should be bursting and meleeing more than surging

undone elm
#

no i mean in hoards it should arc to more than two

echo turtle
#

lol

undone elm
#

it can and does "some of the time"

echo turtle
#

if you’re firing it into hordes

#

you’re doinf it wrong

undone elm
#

wtf do you mean???

echo turtle
#

never fire it into hordes

#

ever

undone elm
#

its arcing lighting????

#

its made for multiple targets

echo turtle
#

Oh ok nvm you’re right

#

what do I know

undone elm
#

lol

#

see im not sayin it should chain 50 enemys

echo turtle
#

do you have any idea how dogshit the damage is?

undone elm
#

im saying even using it on maxium foes in close number

echo turtle
#

like have you taken it into the meat grinder?

undone elm
#

it will randomly do ass. or do amazing

echo turtle
#

no

#

it is always ass into hordes

undone elm
#

why?

lofty sable
#

only really does good damage on armor

undone elm
#

oh cool that makes sense actully

#

but

#

my issue still remains that it only randomly does what it should

#

by arcing to more than 2 people

pine relic
undone elm
#

godroll /\

#

i think im just gonna avoid psy for a good wile

spice veldt
#

the random nature of the surge is wonky, but I still think it's pretty good because it can shut down a few elites at a time

undone elm
#

its just not that fun to play currently without stick to like 2 staves

spice veldt
#

but it falters at mixed hordes

#

yeah

#

very lacking ranged options

undone elm
spice veldt
#

i respect it for what it is

#

the primary fire could be better

undone elm
#

i just want the lighting to stop only connecting to two foes randomly then deciding 6 is good

spice veldt
#

but I think the secondary is fine in a vacuum

undone elm
#

even then

echo turtle
undone elm
#

its not about how close i noticed

#

its just up to RNG gods

spice veldt
#

it also takes time for it to target other enemies, so it only stuns like 2 enemies if you switch off prematurely

echo turtle
undone elm
#

its like rolling dice if i can proc more than 2 derpy bolts of mildly annoying static or 6 bolts of harmful zeus juice

halcyon root
echo turtle
#

@pine relic we played yesterday

spice veldt
#

maybe if the primary fire was a more targeted stun rather than a simple ball projectile like the Equinox staffs

echo turtle
#

i was just looking at the scoreboard and saw you

spice veldt
#

mk5 combat axe

echo turtle
#

the mk5 antax

undone elm
#

is that the axe?

spice veldt
#

it's the blue/Black-ish one

undone elm
#

please dont compare to a combat axe thats unfair LOL

echo turtle
#

yeah

#

its not

pine relic
undone elm
#

it is

echo turtle
#

why the hell are you uselessly surging a horde when you ciuld use the axe

undone elm
#

a combat axe to the skull does more than a bolt of thunder

pine relic
halcyon root
#

word thanks mate

echo turtle
#

here is a game I use the axe and surge

undone elm
#

thunder chains "unreliably"

#

so a spyker using a normal axe

#

these are kinda doo doo options for melee for this class

restive slate
#

Lightning more for cc specials and elites anyway

echo turtle
#

Gl out there man, I’m telling you how its done

undone elm
echo turtle
#

you can take the advice or not

undone elm
#

dogs just dont care

#

and i noticed the game will randomly give dogs hyper armor

echo turtle
restive slate
#

Axe with brutal momentum does improve dealing with crowds

pine relic
#

Maximum stack 45 damage KEKW_ogryn

undone elm
#

so even if you pop a hound with any stunning attack its rng if they even stop charging

echo turtle
#

bahahaha

undone elm
#

i have lit a hound up with thunder only for it to tackle me

spice veldt
#

another thing about surge

echo turtle
#

yeah dont do that

spice veldt
#

is that it applies its VFX to enemies that it doesn't target

#

if you just move your camera around

restive slate
#

Did you charge up for that hound?

echo turtle
#

lightning to stun, then Bb or kill it in melee

undone elm
spice veldt
#

the VFX and actual stun are desynced

echo turtle
#

ligthning does no damage to infested

undone elm
#

im not kidding it randomly wigs ou for me

pine relic
#

Rip my plasteel for this garbage blessing.

echo turtle
#

its like 6 fully charged lightnings to kill a hound

undone elm
restive slate
#

Might be like Arcotash said

#

Rip elliot

undone elm
#

hell playing as my preacher i lit a hound up with an autogun and it didnt care but most of the time it does

echo turtle
#

I am aware of how hounds work

undone elm
#

so it really does seem like ther eis some wonky RNG or buggy..ness.. to the game

restive slate
#

I prefer the Hunting Grounds dogs so much more haha

spice veldt
#

the game certainly has some kinks to work out

undone elm
echo turtle
#

not on T5 you’re not

undone elm
spice veldt
#

or the game is straight up wrong about it to you

undone elm
echo turtle

Lol

it’s not but ok

What may help is a ready animation for the hounds before they pounce like the Assassin Rats of VT

spice veldt

otherwise i never lose

exaclty

undone elm
spice veldt
#

well that's just his impressions as a new-ish player

pine relic
#

Why do you even want to use void strike staff?

spice veldt
#

not as anything formulated or super in-depth

undone elm
#

new ish? im not new

spice veldt
#

idk to psyker

undone elm
#

oh yea i am

spice veldt
#

i don't get that impression from surge after 500 hours

halcyon root
spice veldt
#

but it's certainly underwhelming at the start

viral solstice
#

void strike rules u strike with the void

spice veldt
#

you eventually see some light of it, though I personally don't like the surge

viral solstice
#

and its totally fine as a weapon its not the most amazingest but im outdamaging everybody in every damnation i q

#

so

#

it ok

#

and i mean literally 20 games in a row

spice veldt
#

if i met voidstrike on the streets, i'd slap it

undone elm
#

honestly i like the power sword and i think its voidstrike?

viral solstice
#

but thats mainly because u get cheesy horde damage

restive slate
#

The weapon is good unless you lose then it sucks

undone elm
#

the one that makes a ring you aim with

spice veldt
#

i'd say purgatus is more analogus to the power sword

viral solstice
#

no if u lose its still good its U that sucks

spice veldt
#

at least, the pre-nerf power sword

viral solstice
#

unless its bugs

#

or lag

#

of course

halcyon root
#

the blessing on the voidstrike is fuckin bugged though

spice veldt
#

with its infinite cleave

How often does everyone find Power Cycler for Power Sword? Not found a single one here

i want a mini bottle cap opener force sword

Imagine if the psyker had actualy weapons that used warp

#

instead of just the staves

spice veldt
#

imagine if peril was actually part of the normal usage of force melee

#

and wasn't just relegated to the special

restive slate
#

Force knuckle brass

spice veldt
#

imagine actually integrating the core mechanic of psyker into the basic function of a melee?

twilit flicker

the staves are just different types of ranged weapons, it may as well be a nerf gun

echo turtle

make sure to use one of the cosmetics with good kneepads if ur gonna use the FS a lot

twilit flicker

halcyon root
#

Imagine if psyker wasnt a shitty copy/paste of sienna

echo turtle
#

cuz ur gonna spend a lot of time on all fours

spice veldt
#

imagine if we actually got the beam or bolt staff

undone elm
#

well it has a "10" chance to drain preil on a kill or was it melee kills?

#

either way its kinda there but not

spice veldt
#

WHERE'S MY RANGED DPS STAFF

#

10% to quell 10% peril is an Iconic (passive) of Psyker Psykinetic

halcyon root
#

gimmie bolt staff pls

restive slate
#

A beam staff equivalent would be great

undone elm
#

you know what psyker needs? a ranged beam staff that is a charged sniper bolt

twilit flicker
#

a bolt staff? it would be like trauma though, right? even the primary wouldnt be that different. it would look cool though! maybe like surge again but .. .well idk

I also want the ultimate cc, Kerillian deepwood

i loved the sniper bolt staff

I mean psyker is just a beta sienna, just crtl c ctrl v the rest of her staffs paint them blue BAM development done

undone elm

that one shot was just

spice veldt

I sort of hoped that Psyker would get a ranged DPS staff that would let me hipfire and not have to ADS

and here we are, months in with no new weapons

halcyon root

psyker is literally the bastard child class

I kinda want something similar to VT2 bolt staff uncharged machinegun for one of the staffs in Darktide

"Hey you fuckers still playing psyker? Lets nerf em again"

no

"HEY guys im a space wizard but I prefer to use old technology of guns"

I'm late on the topic, but whether transfer peril works or not it's not a useful blessing anyway

restive slate
#

Sounds like what a Heretic would say haha

ornate hamlet
#

dude i use this, it has really low warp resist, and i still don't have any issues at all dealing with peril

twilit flicker
#

the way i see it, the staves are just different options for ranged combat. they look cool as hell and the class mechanics revolve around peril and so on. but have you ever laid waste to a horde with the Ius Mk3 Shredder Autopistol

spice veldt
#

i guess magic should be saved for the last uses bb for assassination boss shield

restive slate
ornate hamlet
#

you can purge while moving easily, and animation cancel out of it any time, peril management with purg is ezpz even with a staff that has poor warp resist
transfer peril is really not needed even with poor warp resist purg staff

spice veldt
#

purg can't even get transfer peril can it

ornate hamlet
#

quell speed is a lot more useful than warp resist in staff imo

ornate hamlet
restive slate
#

Purg can't get transfer Peril thou

halcyon root
#

transfer peril is for void strike

spice veldt
#

it certainly helps because voidstrike takes more peril per enemy to kill them

restive slate
#

We were talking about Voidstrike in the first place haha

ornate hamlet
#

i don't think transfer peril is really needed on any staff

spice veldt
#

it's not needed, but the other blessings are eh

it's your best option by elimination

Not needed but helps

getting pretty much no curios at all even with curio chance

truly the best perk

behold this little jack shit

half into curios, half into force swords

I love how I can choose to just use a sword and a staff and feel exactly like I'm playing Sienna pretty much

Or I can use a gun and experience the nice gunplay

all psyker team

halcyon root
#

With all four staves?

#

With your powers combined I am captain warp

raw drift
#

Playing psyker sometimes feels like a completely different game, just not worrying about grenades or ammo, always considering status effects and peril, it's really neat

viral solstice
#

ye tho what makes me sad is that most of it is kind of

#

not really dynamic its very basic

cyan notch
viral solstice
#

and the benefits to high peril are not enough

#

i wanna be rewarded for blowing myself up more

raw drift
#

I expect that more careers for classes will be added at some point and the feat trees for those may be more oriented around coaxing the warp to murder you

spice veldt
#

psyk's wrath and kinetic shield sitting at the front door for you

viral solstice
#

i have both and theyre not really

#

violating the fabric of space time tier

#

like the problem with peril is frankly even with a high peril build the incentive for being full peril really isn't that high because if i could press a button that dropped me to zero peril so i could spam back up to high i would do that on the reg

#

which is straight up an issue

raw drift
#

Have they confirmed there won't be any? if not, I expect they'll come eventually

ornate hamlet
viral solstice
#

the only time u get to specifically optimally high peril spam is if ur yeeting blobs at head height over a massive horde

#

or ur surge but i dont got da surge

spice veldt
#

interestingly, my coherency efficiency tends to be surprisingly high

#

i still don't like toughness regen cuz i have to be near my team to activate it

#

...lol there's a lot of benefits to being in coherency but that's one of the big ones yes

#

survivability

spice veldt

maybe if it was a team of 3 zealots running in

I never survive

whenever the path splits, I always take the path that my team doesn't go down

halcyon root

I refuse NODDERS

If I die, I die

ornate hamlet
#

searching thoroughly is honestly often not even worth the extra time it takes to complete the mission, nor worth the risk in higher difficulties, there's way too many areas of maps where enemies spawn right on top of you and insta-gib you or cut you off from allies when they needed your help, etc

it's best to stick in pairs at all times

#

search around, but do it in pairs

spice veldt
#

no not for mats but so that I can hog the kills in that area

ornate hamlet
#

and we don't even need ammo either, so

still hearth
#

Truly the chadogryn move

halcyon root
#

no way man - on damnation there are like 40-50 mats

ornate hamlet
#

you can get them in pairs

spice veldt
#

there are no private solos yet so I'm going to roll that way if I can

#

also depends on my mood

#

sometimes I want to melee monkey and I go off on my own

#

sometimes I actually do want to win and I stick with my team

halcyon root
#

but i mean as a psyker yeah no but let the zealot do that

ornate hamlet
#

way too often i'm in missions with randos who go off on their own waste way too much time not helping while only 1 or 2 of us are doing all of the heavy lifting
while 1 or 2 are running around aimlessly like lost children instead of helping
and when they do come to "help" their version of it is trying to knock ppl off ledges with explosions

#

literally the most cancerous trash players, and they frequent all difficulties

#

and they're usually vet players

#

sometimes ogryn

spice veldt
#

i don't use my trauma staff for hordeclear at all

#

only ever for bruisers, stalkers, shooters, and melee elites

#

maybe if a flamer is hiding inside a horde and I don't have enough stamina to push spam to get to them

ornate hamlet
#

like we straight up could have completed the mission twice as fast and still gotten most of the mats anyway

spice veldt
#

oh don't worry, I run ahead of my team whenever we clear an area

ornate hamlet
#

but they wanna search every nook and cranny no matter how far away it is and waste everyone's time

spice veldt
#

i don't bother looking for mats since I know they'll search anyways

halcyon root
#

thats why you let the zealot do it with their sanic speed

spice veldt
#

force sword has a heavy attack movement tech

#

because it allows you hold your heavy for an extremely long time

ornate hamlet
#

yeah i like zealots, if it were up to me i'd que up with special condition:
No ogryn and No vet

#

zealot and psyker only plz

halcyon root
#

theyre all good

spice veldt
#

hold your heavy during a slide to avoid the initial slowdown phase and sprint once your slide ends

#

then slide -> weapon swap to melee to avoid doing a heavy attack -> repeat

ornate hamlet
#

the vast majority of zealot and psyker players are sooo much better players than most ogryn and vet players i run into

halcyon root
#

ogryn is a walking buff bot bullet sponge slappy boy- vet is a great backline shooter, infinite grenades

spice veldt
#

getting teammates who don't die is good enough

halcyon root
ornate hamlet
#

i prefer the teams that complete missions twice as fast as other teams

spice veldt
#

I had a psyker who ran ahead even more than I do and was dead 30% of the mission

ornate hamlet
#

yeah it's sad that psykers are so often the leaders

#

because the other players are just bad

spice veldt
#

my damnation games are always 35 minutes or less

#

including hi-intensity

#

there are rare 40 minute ones

#

if I have 3 zealots on my team, it's basically guaranteed to end within 25 minutes

ornate hamlet
#

yep, if it was up to me i'd run with zealot and psyker only

#

ogryn and vet classes are fine, but the average player using them are trash

spice veldt
#

i'm always sus of any stubber ogryn I see

#

since they tend to shoot into bulwark shields and lock them into their shielded state

ornate hamlet
#

bad zealot players are actually pretty rare.
bad psyker players are uncommon.
bad ogryn players are common
bad vet players are extremely common, and you usually get 2 of them not just 1 lol

spice veldt
#

at least they usually bring bolters to delete melee elites

#

then they can go down after they do that and I don't really care much

viral solstice

no o gryn player is bad

#

u take that b ack

all o gryn players are good bois

spice veldt

i feel like i do get very middling psykers often though

voidstrike users who don't know when to stop using their staff, surge psykers who use it on hordes, purg psykers who don't know how to melee and hopped into hab dreyko for some reason, trauma psykers who also don't know how to melee

Ok, so Surge Blessing is on Voidstrike (might as well us secondary 100% of the time) and Trauma, which is alright I guess. But not on the Surge staff, which has a crit bonus and is called "Surge"

y tho

the surge staff which also has one of the better primaries among the staffs

1, 2, 3 are true. 4, 5 is only partially true. 6 is more like 4 shots with full heat reduction? 7 idk. 8 is also true, especially if you aim poorly.
