Thats why the axe is so good with surge
Getting good with melee is crtical for surge
once you do, you really feel like the jack of all trades
I had a game with surge and axe, I led the team in chaff kills
450, 350 of that was axe melee kills
I have no idea what stat can be a dump stat, so is this a good set of stats please?
that staff is great
i'd consider dmg, crit, and charge rate altogether to be dump stats on surge
Cool
Have you tried an atax?
Crit iirc is actually one of the more important stats
crit and qull
Because surge staff has innately high crit rate
you can get around 50% all said and done
so reroll maniac to crit chance and ur pretty golden
The dump stats are damage and charge rate iirc for surge
Yes
Thanks
So yeah your stats are p good
Oh no it isn’t
i think it's fine; cleaves 10 poxwalkers at max slaughterer stacks with a minimum of 70-ish damage
I just like using it
cuz, you can stunlock and BB. what you struggle to deal with with surge is also what FS struggles with
ah
word
And it’s the weapon I perform best with
although that's the 2nd heavy
Used it since CBT so yeah
lights are dog shit
Well, if you ever feel like mixing it up
antax pairs amazingly and with KD you are a monster
I’m considering swapping over to purge staff tbh
Had two games with zealots and neither of em brought a flamer
Actually hard tilted
One of the damn zealots ran thunder hammer + revolver
based as hel
Troll as hell lmao
Thammer is fine
I do I just have to get my purge up to gold
revolver is kinda crap
I have a preset lighting,flame and gun build all locked and lodes
but w/e
Thammer WITH the revolver tho?
Purgatus = get all of the praise lines
eh all purges are good lol
Thammer can control the hoard
Can I shill my fire build at you?
It can but holy shit I’d rather they just kill it lmao
yeah
Sure
TH is the shit
I mean I have a purge build set up
my fav weapon for zealot
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
Another day, another melk shop with no staves or force swords.
Yeah that’s literally my build kek
😩 🔫
I desperately want to run a bolter zealot but idk what weapon I’d pair with it
Probably hsword honestly
Heavy sword
Idk why I love the FS but god damn I hate the eviscerator
you using the movset of it?
I forget but I psure I was using it correctly
Prob just gonna stick with a thammer + flamer tbh
yeah thats tight. FS works better in that build
👌
I’m hoping I can get a good mega autocrit sword at some point. It seems like it would be good
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
Why not use shipping tool 
shipping tool?
*snipping
for screenshots?
Yeh
I was playing in my basement gym
wait what
…
this is how I usually play
That’s slightly cursed but go on for the gains haha
Most unique set up I’ve seen in a while
bahaha
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."
Most sane psyker setup
My beloved says it’s great
haha, I’m gonna get shredded playing the game
yes
Oh wait, I get it. Tier 1 is 2-8% and Tier 4 is 5-20%
obviously
anxiety simulator
do you pedal as much as you run in game lol
oh damn
lol jk
-_-
To play as immersive Psyker, attach an explosive to your head when you blow up
lmao
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
Something akin to the l4d2 bridge mission?
10/10 and then a chaos space marine bursts through a wall and then you gotta run away from them as well
i do think the game is lacking in gauntlets
more situations where you need to run through a section
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
Should have missions only accessible to lvl 30
And really dangerous mission types at heresy and damnation
Should make things fun
I mean there’s a specific achievement for beating a “flash mission” on damnation
What's a flash mission again?
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
More Investigation missions...
ideal blessings for trauma staff?
Rending Shockwave is nice
So is warp flurry
Also funnily enough run and gun lets you use the alt fire while sprinting
Does transfer peril even work on the trauma btw
Not actually helpful but funky that you can
Only primary or KF procs
Alright so useless
what melee you guys digging on the psyker these days?
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
That’s how people use voidstrike
did some practice fighting bosses, doing better with the dueling sword than the knife
Range probably
Yes, that but for trauma
Makes dodging attacks easier
They should turn the aoe into a sphere so that Trauma can hit enemy weakspots in the center
Duelling swords also come with hidden passive of making monsties rage quit
hahaha, he had enough of it and outta there
I like the part where the Duelling sword went it's Duelling time and duelled the plogryn out of real space
Knife does way more damage to monsters but duelling swords mobility and range also make it super comfy to fight them
against an ogryn you can back dodge and return with a heavy attack
with a knife you have to stay close
Knife is like side dodge and then push block cancel chop spam on head
You nuke them way faster but ye, gotta stick closer
Force sword vs monsties kinda plays like a weird combo of both
It's that move tech, gotta go fast
All zoom, bullies all specials except carapace, wrecks bosses
Is slower than ur grandma in clearing hordes
cause if im running knife on my zealot im memeing my brains out
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
weakling who needs railings to be safe

I haven't dodged off an edge in 10 hours
in the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, there is no OSHA
how do yall feel about this
That mobility is sad so ur gonna need to really learn to anim cancel and side dodge
40 mob but it has flak and high dmg rolls so it's prob fine
But otherwise it’s stronk sword
I had a friend slide under a railing and fell off
yeah it feels slow af
weakling who isn't safe even with railings
this is my other one but i havent touched it
tried spamming the block attack against the ogryn, it IS way more effective
yeah ive been getting lucky lately
what blessings/perks should i switch out on that
or its kinda bricked
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
ill probably surrender blazing and try another i few other 360+ i can roll to orange to try and get some t4s
the only t4s I've gotten from consecration are bloodthirsty and riposte over 500 hours
though there are some prepatch hours to count
like this one fingers crossed
I hope that it gets bricked so that you shall not feel joy
do people like crit chance or crit damage on purge?
chance
crits give flame stacks, which is where much of the damage comes from
I am at zen
gets T4 Deflector
most peaceful person after getting 60+ warp res force swords
Hi. What perks should I aim for with Voidstrike Staff?
oh well I'm actually fine with that cuz I think deflector is mid
Popular general choices are flak and maniac
I am considering an alternative blessing force sword to play around with
besides deflector?
Yup
I say bloodthirsty, exorcist, or uncanny strike (esp when paired with Purg)
I wonder if the damage increase with peril has any effect
the thresholds for unstable Power are supposedly borked
it actually only stacks 4 times and gives you the last 2 stacks at 97%
That is kinda borked
Uncanny strike seems fun, does it apply Rending to player or enemy?
player, self buff
it applies rending to all active damage as long as you're holding the force sword
including Soulblaze ticks on crushers
Fun
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
I see, I've got a shovel with Uncanny strike on Vet and I was surprised how I could hurt Crushers
iz pretty good
Would be fun to try off meta builds
exorcist for quietude or to just quell
bloodthirsty isn't off meta for force sword, but crits are cool and good
I've got an exorcist fs, can give it a try
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
I was wanting to try this
an uncanny + decimator/skullcrusher shovel
Uncanny+Skullcrusher is mine
is it decent?
ive been wanting the +impact and +damage on stagger
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
i know, im just messing around with off meta things
like im looking for inspiring barrage and cavalcade on bolter
inspiring is
but i already a have pinning + rending
very much not good
so like do i need another of the same roll
since it just increases coherency regen
we were all running unoptimized gear in damnation cause of incomplete crafting and we were doing just fine
and its fun to experiment
what do you guys think of the chainsword? I rarely see it
Dstrike?
shred + dstrike
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
it's not as much of an issue becuase it only ignores hit mass on the actual crit itself now
unless it crits on the rev
oh then its still meh
just take savage sweeps with it
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
except pushattack sucks major balls and special stagger is inconsistent
i usually push into heavy anyway
a lot of em are decent
i guess a good non zealot roll would be rampage and savage
knife is the only one (for Psyker) that stands out
it does good on single targets
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
lul
I have died twice today in clutch scenerios to a sniper clipping me
I dropped like 4 reapers, gunners, a couple snipers already, 20 shooters to die like that
I swear they ninja buffed bombers because I don't recall them throwing grenades so often before
they drop the nades right into your pocket
seems the same to me
usually if theres nade spam its cuz theres 2 of em
even one of them can lock down a door or corridor
will straight up pop a nade before the last fire wears out
and I absolutely hate how the nade explosion itself slows you down
doesn't even do damage
just to insult you
and bomber resist is a joke
cause fire is overtuned
but if enemies touch fire, walk through it like an entertainer walking on coals
lul
if bomber resist also made you resist losing all your toughness
and it worked on flamers
yeah
I would fuck with that
if bomber resist did anything to the dangerous parts of bombers
yeah... the EMOTIONAL damage
Is warp flurry still bugged and useless?
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
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
snipers hve been my bane lately
when snipers say its sniping time and snipe their shot all over u
Power of the 60% corruption resistance
That’s why I stack general corruption on my zealot
I stack max hp instead
Helps against corruption, but also useful the 90% time you aren’t grabbing grims
so what perks are best for void strike?
Guard broken? Sounds like a kinetic shield user issue

weapon swap out of guardbreaks
just got this thing from the emprah
transfer peril + warp flurry is considered to be the best
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
Hipfire bad
I still don’t have a good voidstrike
Might as well farm
I dunno hip fire on purge seems alright
@cold geode this is my godstrike
thanks 😄
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
yea, got 25 flak on it now, unless something is better
Dunno tbh
honestly, its the best emperahs gift ive ever gotten on my psyker
Tide? Get it? Darktide?
the name's darktide. john darktide
nice embed is the the part where we point and laugh guys
tsk tsk tsk
this is my god purga
i wil get rid of run n gun when they fix warp flurry on purga
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

its a sacrifice
but somebody has to do it
they should have walk and sword on melee weapons
yeah i always felt the game was in deep need of that
why should gun get all the fun
Psyker takes 25% more damage while sprinting
and on the shotgun
Facts don’t care about your feelings
I thought nothing vets can do would surprise me, but here we go again

Mm the vet moment
but is it dead?
I did, i let him blow up the second one that came through the door a few seconds later as well
hell yea


He was the explosions specialist
hes havin a good time
loose cannon
Adeptus Astartes she is not
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.
But that's still 310 plasteel

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 
more staff than crab at this point
thats why i made 5 psykers
they should just add 3 variants of each staff
that are the same

pad the loot poolk out
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
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
trauma is my love
there’s just ine massive issue with that staff
It’s laking the most important blessing
the psyker really needs some work and extra love from the devs rn
the blessing that turns it into a surge or purge staff
a ranged DPS staff would fix a lot of psykers problems
most powerful trauma staff blessing available
honestly i could see that. but i just dont think its just me that has an issue with staves
yeah, all fuckin staffs are CC
I want the rending blessing
for some ungodly reason
the lighting staff is hella dope but its just super unreliable for the wrong reasons
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
I don't think that Psyker should necessarily be at the top for dps
they arent glass cannos
but we should have an option comparable to guns
They are more durable than vets in CC
our passive defenses are ass because of our shit base HP toughness
but our stamina is amazng
look if they constantly are close to going self nuke just to melt hoards i consider that glass cannon lmao
and our Toughness feats are pretty unmatched
They aren’t? outside of malice anyways
the issue is its like im playing a high crit rogue class but with no dps and all support
Then you’re playing the class wrong my friend
idk man the weapons dont have any real weight save for the power sword
people sort of neglect Psyker's toughness feats and just look at his base HP/Toughness and write it off
well its not that im saying they are weak
of course, Psyker has no equivalent to confident strike in their class melee
they just dont have the same skill sets as a more frint line type
our build diversity is severely lacking yeah
honestly they feel left behind currently
Its a hard class to learn
force swords are pure RNG to get a good one
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
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
using it to its fullest means not using it half the time
I consider the lightning staff to be a high skill floor low ceiling weapon
it’s a tool that is specifically good in certain situations
easy to use, but not much depth to it
what??
you should be bursting and meleeing more than surging
no i mean in hoards it should arc to more than two
lol
it can and does "some of the time"
wtf do you mean???
do you have any idea how dogshit the damage is?
im saying even using it on maxium foes in close number
like have you taken it into the meat grinder?
it will randomly do ass. or do amazing
why?
only really does good damage on armor
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
emm
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
its just not that fun to play currently without stick to like 2 staves
its almost too much credt to call it good. its fun but on the edge of being ass
i just want the lighting to stop only connecting to two foes randomly then deciding 6 is good
but I think the secondary is fine in a vacuum
even then
I told you why. it does no damage
it also takes time for it to target other enemies, so it only stuns like 2 enemies if you switch off prematurely
One swing on an antax mk5 which takes 1/2 a second does more damage to a horde than a lightning
its like rolling dice if i can proc more than 2 derpy bolts of mildly annoying static or 6 bolts of harmful zeus juice
Do you have a link to this mod?
@pine relic we played yesterday
maybe if the primary fire was a more targeted stun rather than a simple ball projectile like the Equinox staffs
i was just looking at the scoreboard and saw you
hang on which is the antax?
mk5 combat axe
the mk5 antax
is that the axe?
it's the blue/Black-ish one
please dont compare to a combat axe thats unfair LOL
Yeah? What's your name
it is
why the hell are you uselessly surging a horde when you ciuld use the axe
a combat axe to the skull does more than a bolt of thunder
Just search darktide scoreboard mod
word thanks mate
an axe does not arc to multiple foes?
thunder chains "unreliably"
so a spyker using a normal axe
these are kinda doo doo options for melee for this class
Lightning more for cc specials and elites anyway
Gl out there man, I’m telling you how its done
see i wish that was the case
you can take the advice or not
Xavier
Axe with brutal momentum does improve dealing with crowds
Maximum stack 45 damage 
so even if you pop a hound with any stunning attack its rng if they even stop charging
bahahaha
i have lit a hound up with thunder only for it to tackle me
another thing about surge
yeah dont do that
is that it applies its VFX to enemies that it doesn't target
if you just move your camera around
Did you charge up for that hound?
lightning to stun, then Bb or kill it in melee
fully
the VFX and actual stun are desynced
ligthning does no damage to infested
im not kidding it randomly wigs ou for me
Rip my plasteel for this garbage blessing.
its like 6 fully charged lightnings to kill a hound
dogs still get stunned from attacks
hell playing as my preacher i lit a hound up with an autogun and it didnt care but most of the time it does
I am aware of how hounds work
so it really does seem like ther eis some wonky RNG or buggy..ness.. to the game
I prefer the Hunting Grounds dogs so much more haha
the game certainly has some kinks to work out
i have killed them in 1-2 before
not on T5 you’re not
yea i think the combat is still a bit buggy or some mechanics are not fully explained
or the game is straight up wrong about it to you
i dont play T5 normally its a nightmare with randoms
What may help is a ready animation for the hounds before they pounce like the Assassin Rats of VT
uh yea it is
look im gonna just accpet that your better than i but calm down. lmao you sound a bit braggy bro
i never lose
You are arguing like, everythinf
I get crafting materials, still a win
i only lose when i lose
and making statements that are pretty silly and from a lack of understanding
otherwise i never lose
exaclty
ok now you are being unreasonable dude
well that's just his impressions as a new-ish player
Why do you even want to use void strike staff?
not as anything formulated or super in-depth
new ish? im not new
idk to psyker
oh yea i am
i don't get that impression from surge after 500 hours
because its hilarious to gib things with it
but it's certainly underwhelming at the start
void strike rules u strike with the void
you eventually see some light of it, though I personally don't like the surge
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
if i met voidstrike on the streets, i'd slap it
honestly i like the power sword and i think its voidstrike?
but thats mainly because u get cheesy horde damage
The weapon is good unless you lose then it sucks
the one that makes a ring you aim with
i'd say purgatus is more analogus to the power sword
no if u lose its still good its U that sucks
at least, the pre-nerf power sword
the blessing on the voidstrike is fuckin bugged though
with its infinite cleave
i ahve not found a powersword since update
Which?
they nerfed my boy??
We kindly ask that you complete the questions below. With this information, we can add it to our database for investigation. Issue Description: ‘Transfer Peril’ trait on Voidstrike staff does not refund peril Steps to Reproduce: get staff with transfer peril aim at head shoot, peril is not refunded Mission Name (If Applicable): N/A Plat...
this one
I think you mean force sword? Only veterans get the power sword.
How often does everyone find Power Cycler for Power Sword? Not found a single one here
pretty sure transfer peril works for me
Transfer Peril working last I checked
that bug report was from nov 22
oh uh yea the force sword my bad
the funny warp blade that goes woooop
hrm well I wasnt getting it to work in psykarium
woooooooosh
Found one this week on Sour Milk's shop, didnt buy it cuz i dont like the weapon :>
Yeah its awsome!
Gib
bro what
:(
i don't like you
i want a mini bottle cap opener force sword
force dagger
Imagine if the psyker had actualy weapons that used warp
instead of just the staves
imagine if peril was actually part of the normal usage of force melee
and wasn't just relegated to the special
Force knuckle brass
imagine actually integrating the core mechanic of psyker into the basic function of a melee?
the staves are just different types of ranged weapons, it may as well be a nerf gun
make sure to use one of the cosmetics with good kneepads if ur gonna use the FS a lot
a hose
Imagine if psyker wasnt a shitty copy/paste of sienna
cuz ur gonna spend a lot of time on all fours
imagine if we actually got the beam or bolt staff
well it has a "10" chance to drain preil on a kill or was it melee kills?
either way its kinda there but not
WHERE'S MY RANGED DPS STAFF
10% to quell 10% peril is an Iconic (passive) of Psyker Psykinetic
gimmie bolt staff pls
A beam staff equivalent would be great
you know what psyker needs? a ranged beam staff that is a charged sniper bolt
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
bolt staff was the sniper fire arrow
I took a screenshot to commemorate the occasion Sour Milk offered me anything worth buying
I wanna lift Ogryns
yea V2 had some dope staves
now you're just rubbing it in
::(((
say sike
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
I sort of hoped that Psyker would get a ranged DPS staff that would let me hipfire and not have to ADS
this
and here we are, months in with no new weapons
psyker is literally the bastard child class
Comlink this week right?
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"
"People complaining Veteran too strong? Let's buff them again"
crowbill was ass lol
The unnerfed Crowbill
Such a high FPS gif!
some people
this is honestly a really important point. why am i gonna use guns on my mage
im using guns, i just made a video
there are a lot of shooters and guns are pretty good at dealing with em fast
its great for a joke but
waiting for it to upload though ...
magic'
I don't mind guns if they're more like laspistol and it's force push
I'm late on the topic, but whether transfer peril works or not it's not a useful blessing anyway
Sounds like what a Heretic would say haha
dude i use this, it has really low warp resist, and i still don't have any issues at all dealing with peril
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
i guess magic should be saved for the last uses bb for assassination boss shield
Pain
Psykers got those ammo voicelines for a reason haha
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
purg can't even get transfer peril can it
quell speed is a lot more useful than warp resist in staff imo
whether it can or not, it's not needed at all
Purg can't get transfer Peril thou
transfer peril is for void strike
it certainly helps because voidstrike takes more peril per enemy to kill them
We were talking about Voidstrike in the first place haha
i don't think transfer peril is really needed on any staff
it's not needed, but the other blessings are eh
it's your best option by elimination
Not needed but helps
even run n gun is more useful imo, and it's pretty useless too
just lets you spam a hallway longer
something something sliding
Now if Rending Shockwave was on Voidstrike, that's a different story...
Please, I dont need to be aroused publicly
i knew it
im just like i gotta have one random one on my psyker
i got so many
nope
lmao
truly emprah scammin me
i bought all of the +3 stamina curios that I saw in the shop
because I knew that shit would be rare
ye my zealot has like
i'm a real gold spotter
too bad only one of them actually got a semi-decent roll
i mean the only roll u need
is curio chance
to get more curios
investment banker mindset
my semi-decent roll has curio chance 🙃
also isn't curio chance bugged rn from what people have been saying
getting pretty much no curios at all even with curio chance
truly the best perk
behold this little jack shit
das fine
smh that curio perk could've been something impactful like experience
All those mats... lost... like tears... in the rain
like grains of sand, to the wind
i thought evolving to crab would be good because no tear ducts
but now i just cry on the inside
the other weapons went to go fuck themselves
Calm down John blade runner
curio crafting is aids from a shared heroin needle
I just wanted to have a good time and now I got aids and im addicted to heroin
well you should've thought of the conseq ... the repercussions
Did we win
i made a video of a run i did on heresy with the autopistol today, but the upload time it taking too long, ill share the link tomorrow goodnight!
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
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
ye tho what makes me sad is that most of it is kind of
not really dynamic its very basic
what exactly am i looking at
and the benefits to high peril are not enough

i wanna be rewarded for blowing myself up more
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
psyk's wrath and kinetic shield sitting at the front door for you
we all did
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
Have they confirmed there won't be any? if not, I expect they'll come eventually
not using toughness regen?
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
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
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
just go 3 wound curious. simple as
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
no not for mats but so that I can hog the kills in that area
and we don't even need ammo either, so
Truly the
move
no way man - on damnation there are like 40-50 mats
you can get them in pairs
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
but i mean as a psyker yeah no but let the zealot do that
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
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
like we straight up could have completed the mission twice as fast and still gotten most of the mats anyway
oh don't worry, I run ahead of my team whenever we clear an area
but they wanna search every nook and cranny no matter how far away it is and waste everyone's time
i don't bother looking for mats since I know they'll search anyways
thats why you let the zealot do it with their sanic speed
force sword has a heavy attack movement tech
because it allows you hold your heavy for an extremely long time
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
theyre all good
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
the vast majority of zealot and psyker players are sooo much better players than most ogryn and vet players i run into
ogryn is a walking buff bot bullet sponge slappy boy- vet is a great backline shooter, infinite grenades
getting teammates who don't die is good enough
thats because ogryn is a meme and veteran is so overtuned its what everybody plays
i prefer the teams that complete missions twice as fast as other teams
I had a psyker who ran ahead even more than I do and was dead 30% of the mission
yeah it's sad that psykers are so often the leaders
because the other players are just bad
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
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
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
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
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
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
at least on NA West
not that I mind since I get all the kills to myself
lmao
200iq run away from your team so that you avoid their sightlines entirely
Why tf is surge blessing NOT on the SURGE staff
ogryn needs a rear view mirror - problem solved
ill surge staff hordes idgaf
would it not make sense and synergize as well?
its op
like the weapon is so boring
might as well have some fun and spend 5 minutes killing poxwalkers
jokes on you, i run a plasma. shoot right through big boys
Jokes on you, now you penetrate less.
Or rather
sometimes on purpose
"cleave" less.
‘bra’ less
Losing 25% cleave isn't fun
plasma only has one meaningful downside
lol, i remember participating in that thread
I'm a psyker who isn't braindead, so i don't use guns.
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
fr
this
I would totally use Nexus + Surge, but it's not real
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.
I feel like there are a lot of design decisions where somebody asks "but why not this?" because fatshark are trained professionals at balance and making a fair game in all aspects
it's because it would be good
Ok, so what is the average pierce of vet's other options? about 2 for all lasguns, right?
or they imagined that it would be too OP
most of the broken stuff is clearly just things where the numbers had one pass
Would an aoe burst still out dps killing 2 enemies?
and prematurely nerfed it by never letting surge have the surge blessing
thats all we can do
surge cant have surge blessing
its called surge staff
because it already surges
if u put surge on it
it would become suurge staff
which is different weapon class

This isnt darktide unless psyker is nerfed on the reg
use brane pls
But imagine -- Purgatus w/ Blazing Spirit
my b my brane isn't as advanced as a crab's yet
most of these are only technically true, but not true in practice
drooling over my big boy soulblaze stacks
purgatus with blazing spirit would be boring tho because u couldnt see it proc
now
SURGATUS with blazing spirit
SPICY LIGHTNING

SURGATUS
oh yeah
Idk the biggest issue I have is really just that the heat mechanic isn't fun at all
