80% damage
ghost and opening salvo maybe
I think a lot of blessings work on the mk 12 tho
Imagine how great this game would be if the blessings actually did interesting things like change the functionality of the weapon
some of em set things on fire
That would imply love being put into the game
maybe they dont wanna go crazy bc of lore shit or whatever idk anythjing about 40k but them lore fellars be pretty strict on shit or sum
itd be cool if enemies can chain lightning on kill
or explode
Yeah
The lore dudes:
Thunder Hammer is weak as shit and should absolutely explode everything it touches.
I’d love for some crazy shit we got in chaos wastes from vt
But also that
Shouldn’t like Lasguns be weak af, powerswords be op af
Seems bolters work close to description tho
lasguns are quite strong
against what we fight
it's just in the grand scheme of 40k they don't do shit to a lot of the scary stuff
but a normal human it's like getting hit with a 50 cal
If they cared about lore
We'd be fighting only normie enemies
And Plogryn would just step on everyone who's not an Ogryn
the zombos
And Ogryn would punch through enemies
i dont think 4 randos are killing thousands of enemies in 20mins either
Or a vet tanking dozens of shooters at once because he decided to breathe different when aiming down his gun
i'd say a decent few of the weapons are decently lore friendly
like I said about the lasguns, they are powerful but don't pen targets iirc
Lore accurate plot armour
which is about right
also yeah
we are main characters we have plot armor
so it's lore friendly

i am john darktide
That's what I named my vet
Imagine having to start a new character after you died
Lore friendly though!
Were just ... keeping it authentic! Lol
Oh right, you asked me earlier what that picture was, it was the scoreboard mod at the end of a match
me?
Yes, that was you, last night. I went to sleep by then sorry.
oh
no i was asking what exactly shouldni be looking at cuz it seemed like a pretty normal scoreboard
Oh, it was a full team of psykers
oh ok yeah i got that part i thought there was more to it and that i missed something in the scoreboard
I was going to upload a video of that match and it spent the whole night ... only to fail.
Ill try another solution ...
youtube?
You haven’t read a 40k novel I see
in the furious abyss, 7 dudes beat an entire capital ship. The book is pure trash and was probably written on a 4 day cocaine bender
but yeah, in the lore wheover is doing the fighting always kills so much shit
is quietude any good
Usually the perspective is space marines, which in the lore are basically captain Americas if he somehow discovered another steroid to use
i've never used it
yeah, its fine.
with over 150 hours on psyker
essence harvest can be much better if you generate charges consistently
does absorption trigger on kills from soulblaze? I have never actually tested that
it does
i've always had essence hravest on
also essence harvest pauses coherency regen while absorption is instant so it clashes a bit less
didn't know that
though in practice when you are acutally using purg there isn't much difference as you will be topped off either way
is absorption any good?
it's on paper way more toughness while you are deleting a horde, but less toughness when you aren't and are instead forced to e.g. BB targets for toughness
so it depends
so whats the point of the void strike staff...when the flamer exists? and can kill more dudes, and CC more dudes
Essence harvest is solid, I may try absobtion and switch communion off
range
mine is like an autocannon
jsut seemns gimped as hell
it's good because it passes through multiple heads
if a horde lines up nice for you, its cool
i respect that
i love it's versatility
it's has meh cc, but it can still do it
voidstrike falls off pretty hard afaik
versatility? It shoots a ball straight
Who’d he fuck?
Guns exists so


did it get buffed sincw beta a lot or something?
because it can cc and horde clear, all from range and up close if needed
Finally a decent Trauma staff.
Sucks that Hadron has only given me T2 Blessings for Trauma though :')
i remember it being pretty whatever into hordes if they werent in a line and didn’t do a lot to specials
luckily rending shockwave only is for support
so you aren't doing less damage
with it being low
Still trying to get rending.
Ye
Have not gotten lucky, lemme tell ya
I'm just happy that Trauma is good now.
It feels good to me.
i kill a decent amount of specials with mine
Does it perform on T5?
A good mix of CC and Damage.
it doesn't actually effect the truama's damage
and even when i dont, they get staggered
becuase the truama doesn't care about armor
and most of the time, i BB specials anyway
for me, really well
Ye I know; I mostly use the Trauma for support and killing Shooters anyway
that's why i shill it
the warp flurry blessing is the game changer
Now I just need to work on getting a good Chainsword
Siblings, it is confirmed. Warp Flurry has a hidden benefit, it also reduces your charge cost by the reduction % amount.
All the charging costs are defined as peril per second and simply on/off if you are charging or not. Faster time charging means lesser cost.
it literally becomes an autocannon
Ye
I noticed that too with Trauma
can you say that again for the blunt in the room
ah i see now
What are the optimal blessings for a chainsword? I need to start getting one myself
savage sweep
and shred or what
- rampage or shred
word
They would be throw and away
sweeps is solid
I don't value crits that much for non zealots
Next week, siblings.
most the time
Savage Sweep + Ramage iirc
i've been wanting to fuck around with duelling swords
Next week™️
if Dstrike wasn't nerfed into the dirt shred + that would slap
i've had this for a long time
Next Week™️
Duelling Swords feel good
I have a decent one
I don’t have many good Blessings on my Psyker yet
So I worked with what I was given
you’ll get’m
Plus, this has two lights that cleave slightly, so it works decently with Rampage
Also, Ogryn and Psyker buffs next week.
Let’s hope it’s something actually substantial for Psyker.
can you post the damage tables of the void?
Psyker was the class I first started Darktide with, but I moved to Ogryn when I realised Psyker was... kinda meh.
man
when zealot buffs
eh
Pysker is the best class tho
wat
Veteran exists
by quite a bit
Idc
1 weapon does not a good class make
Critlot in general is just great
hmm today i think i will run staff melee build
But with Flamer it's especially bonkers ye
so, a full charge is less than a 3 ahot burst from a mk3hh
crit zealot isn't that good tbh
Although, Zealot does need a bone thrown it's way in a few areas
considering that the dr thing in the first tier is basically
become a shitty vet on crit
yeah, but no need to reload, no need to quell
low hp zealot and the two handed zealot weapons all need some help
All builds are melee ;P
Yeah, reload takes about thw same time as a charge tho, so DPS on the void is like 200 vs a gun which is like 2k
I’m still pretty sure the voidstrike is super undertuned but I’ll try find a good one and give it anothwr go
whats your reccomended stats and blessings?
Low hp shouldn’t be a build, its cool flavour but dumb to try and play around
at this point with the toughness regen on quell feat, I see quelling as a feature lol
because with transfer peril, you lose more peril than you gain
i've never tested, but transfer peril may work as peril quelling for quietude to take effect
Toughness regen on quell is so littlw regen
oh yeah transfer peril works for that, I remember testing it
every full quell is the equivalent of generating like 1 warpcharge with the alternative essence harvest
it's less regen than the warp charge gain one but you're in more control I guess
I hope the Psyker buffs are either tuning the automatic quelling or making mind in motion baseline
honestly staff passive quelling feels great now
lol vets are fine
kidding
though I'd love new vet weapons
like I dont want power sword to get nerfed to the ground, but its a little boring when thats the only thing that makes sense for vets
it does need another nerf tho tbh
idk, I'm down for new interesting guns or whatever
lol yah def needs a little nerf or two
just give psyker the force claymore already
but nerfing it to the ground would suck
cant come soon enough
need melee psyker subclass
Give psyker a skateboard
let me grind rails like in drg
mostly not
It is for Trauma
Warp flurry trauma inner tranq and warp battery, but yea you need communion and KB
Is crit dmg good on this or should I go for crit chance
Only use communion if you absolutely need it
crit chance
Now I got 10 crit dmg 😂
which is more then double damage
How do you use purg/soulblaze build? I was trying it on difficulty 3 yesterday and didn't seem to be building enough warp charges to sustain myself through purge staff use. Was there just not enough enemies and it'll work better on difficulty 4/5?
If you want to min-max for every type yes, if you want to be stronger vs flak especially, no - matter of personal preference - id go for crit chance that would be my choice
@void mural
this is what i run for purga
and yes it works better in heresy+
cuz more shit to kill
good answer
Yeah, already running that build. I guess it was just lack of enemy density?
yeah
👍
if you're level 15+, oyu're gucci for heresy
I guess I'll reserve that for higher difficulties then
Fuck, two mid Blessings for Force Sword.
Why couldn't I have gotten Slaughterer or Shred? :(
Exorcist isn't the worst, especially if you're playing gun psyker
I play Trauma mostly
Unstable power 🤢 though
Hopefully Unstable Power gets a buff next week.
Give it the Blaze Away treatment.
hope they fix warpflurry for purga and surge
I got deflector 3 is it good enough or only 4 good for damnation?
I mean, more is always better, but you've got 75% of 4's strength
deflector I is good enough lol
Even T1 Deflector is good
Why it's good is because it lets you block ranged fire, not for the Block Efficiency
The difference isn't big afaik
Oh I see
From 9 to 12%
the important feature is blocking ranged fire
I got this one as well
Beautiful sword
if only you got a screenshot key
Dont think too high of damnation, its more about positioning and decision making than tiers of blessings
Got a decent roll.
Let's hope Hadron doesn't brick it.
Oh wait ye, I need more Plasteel
Time for Damnation
Wait for a better roll
base rating seems to affect the level of blessings / perks. so I would hold out for a 370+
1/10 brunt rolls should be around 370
From what peoole have pulled from the code, block efficiency only comes into play when blocking into stamina
so kinetic deflection is not affected by that stat at all
with the FS, you are incentivized to instead roll@kinetic shield, and dodge dance for DR
Damn didn't know that
deflector, kind of a waste
imo
slaughterer + another damage buff Is how I would roll,
Shouty playing Siblings i need advise about perks on this one. About changable Blessing too.
it took literally since beta but i finally got a force sword with deflector
and it really is so nice
Shoud i switch Thrust on that thing for Momentum (if it works) or for Trauma?
keep thurst
I'd rather have something good now and work up to something else than wait
I don't have much for my Psyker
So I want something
Ya know?
When did we get the hammer
Psyker chat more friendly than zealot chat 🙂 And some of us playing 2-brain-cells-class as well 🙂
Okay, it has Unarmoured, so that's good.
Just gotta reroll Crit Chance to Flak.
Kinda spooky having such a bad Blessing though.
Hopefully I get something good on the other Blessing.
So everyone just comes here for advice 
You should try Ogryn chat
Ogryn chat is the best chat
Not just the best, but also friendliest 🙂
for sure
And yes i think it's good ideas to give Psykers HAMMER, Force Hammer!
They also go to Memes... But that is a bit harder
what to roll for? thinking flak maybe? but keep carapace or maniac?
you need 3 warp charges with that to kill poxwalkers, which can be annoying depending on your feats
psykerbros... behold!
sadly i do not have headtaker 4 or (any other good antax blessings) unlocked so further modification will have to wait
keep thrust
its p much perfect
what do you think about perks tho?
pens a little low
I'd want +infested over anything else at least
probably keep maniac and roll for crit chance
oops
You've got brutal momentum already, so looks good
trauma doesn't have any amazing elite/special breakpoints
👋 What am I looking for besides Deflector on a force sword?
Slaughterer?
i rolled flak on mine, even with +25 carapace it's only really gonna stagger or knock down carapace enemies (in my experience)
ty
IMO, +carapace is useless on any weapon that doesn't already have armor piercing
tbf
vs unarmored gets dreg stalker/bruiser one-shot
the truma kinda does
i just noticed the staff is trauma, so probably ignore this
yeah I'm not taking rending shockwave into account
but it probably won't make much difference
rending shockwave doesn't boost truama's damage anyway iirc
dropping a trauma blast on a group of shooters (a lot of which are flak) is pretty sweet
though ultimately you can always change it later if you really want
Flak does get you a scab gunner breakpoint that might take 4 warp charges otherwise
but don't you rather BB those
depends
BB isn't AoE so if you are in staff range of a gunner group you can drop that on them
BB also requires a visible target to lock onto but Trauma's secondary AoE can hit enemies crouching behind cover if you place it right
I think the truma psyker I played with earlier must have had an almost perfect trauma
he was boolin
i actually prefer the other staves but i did use trauma in a few damnation games today, it's pretty nice scattering hordes and being able to drop an AoE on yourself to create space if you get surrounded for any reason
also it gets a projectile left-click which you almost forget all the others staves have when you use purgatus long enough haha
it's nice
and also warp flurry actually works on it
Correct
Although not completely sure how it works with mobs that have explosion resist
which do?
ah yes warp flurry, lovely blessing
If it has shred that should work nearly with Devastating Strike but don't remember the pool
Chainsword in general is a bit meh
D-Strike is too heavy for me
heavies already have enough cleave
Oop
savage sweep is pretty good on chainswords
Bought a Bloodthirsty Chainsword off from Melk, you should have seen my face when I realized it's only for the next hit with it.
If only the Chainsword could get Slaughterer or Headtaker
It makes sense, shed needs to hit the same target right? And if youre cleaving through everything ...
though it will only really come into play when you're fighting anything that's a group of mooks
the blessing shred doesn't
yeah

my dreams of a 100% crit chance evis, chain axe and chain sword
where crushed
is bloodletter any good on chainsword?
bleed in general is quite bad
oh yikes
for damage at least
the main deal it does good damage against is unyielding
everything else is like
30ish damage at max stacks
looking at the chainsword blessings now yeah idk
probably just savage sweep so you can spam heavies into hordes when you're not sawing elites down
the only chain weapon with really good blessings
is the chain axe
but it's the chain axe
like it has
not just 1
but 3 good power blessings
dis really be all of them huh
yep
and for some reason
both the evis and chainsword didn't get their rampages buffed
but the power sword of all things did
lol epic
Did you guys hear? Psykers gonna get buffed
Can’t wait for that extra 10 damage to my BB

I am glad for more ogryn buffs but zealot needs some love, (outside of psyker obv)
I figure they might bring back the better quell on non force weapons
on top of just some general buffs
i just wish brain burst wasn't in a spot where you need to take Warp Battery and have all 6 warp charges up to one-shot poxbursters and dogs again
hopefully wrak and ruin gets changed again
make it work on any hit rather than bb and i'll use it
mite b cool
I figure they make it work on any target
You can't one shot poxbursters with 6 warp charges
and increase the stacks a bit
oh uh then i mean just dogs i guess
is wrak and ruin enough to kill them
Lemme check
actually i can cope with BB being the strength that it is at higher difficulties, however it is slower than a vet hitting right click and then left click on something's head so there just needs to be a sweetspot
Lol, doesn't it do like 2 damage per tick at 2 stacks?
it's like 6 damage against flak
WooOOOoooOOoo
and stays at that for 11 tics or so
6 damage!
Why does Chainsword get Skull Crusher instead of something like Slaughterer or Headtaker? lol
wait
so in theory it could finish the poxburster off but then it would still keep going towards you while the damage is ticking...
because it's a bad source for information
Wouldn't that take 18 ticks?
hopefully the big patch reworks a lot of the shite psyker talents
@summer prairie wrack and ruin will finish the job yea but it takes 6 seconds for the ticks to end it
im getting multiple results on google that says it does
"minor buff", I'm expecting a few changes at most
well most vets have never seen power cycler :^)
dt wartide breakpoint calculator and the steam guides are best sources of information
i could just be getting unlucky if by some stretch it really doesn't get it
I think our Toughness Feats could use a small buff tbh
hit and run
but it doesn't seem that good anyway, whether it can get it or not
Good point
yeah idk
it's normally correct tho
just b that way sometimes ig
"We buffed non-force weapon quell speed while not attacking. Quelling is paused while attacking"

TBF I would be fine if they buffed auto quelling while not attacking of blocking
Just gimme back my quelling while running from plasteel to plasteel
If you're not attacking, you might as well be active quelling
I expect a minor buff to survivabilty because right now every little mistake you do costs as much as much as a regular one for other classes
Sorry for the phone typing
The only buff I need is to to replace Quicken with something that doesn't suck balls
maybe with something that enables Gunker
Otherwise Psyker feels pretty damn good after last 2 patches
If I'm not attacking I am running and sliding
That's fair, but I mostly said it for the meme
I just run one +wound, kinetic deflection is still strong AF as well
Does anyone know if the GHOST blessing actually works?
I'd be happy if they just buffed Quicken to something like "Psykinetic's Wrath expends all Warp Charges, reducing the cooldown and increasing the peril quelled by 12.5% for each Warp Charge removed."
psykers are somewhat squishy, what curios do you run?
yeah i run 20+% HP on each curio and also + toughness regeneration speed (ideally also on every curio if you can manage it), it helps out a lot
yeah that's the ideal i would say, as for the 3rd perk on each idk
Sniper and gunner resist
in a minmax world i'd have gunner or sniper resistance or something on each of them as well
yeah
HP+Gunner resist on all 3 is the true path 🙏
I run 1 wound 1 hp % and 1 stam, im not complaining that much, its just that sometimes 1 teamate does a stupid thing and there is nothing you can do about it, like hit hitting barrels or firing at à buster im trying to push back
I wish I could get curios worth trying to upgrade
All I see is incessant +wounds, and low percentage hps
yeah ive only ever seen one 21% HP curio so far
though im sure i'll find more eventually i hope
Just add curios to brunt or something
the weapons from brunt are pretty worthless as it is, im not sure if that would help lol
i've found several 21% HP curios, but I haven't managed to roll good perks on them when consecrating 😦
It would at least let me try to get +hp curios
as long as you have the HP blessing and roll one of the perks into toughness regen that should be more than enough
feels like its +dockets and +XP every time 🤡
oh rip lol
Just offer curios purchases of each base stat type and it'd be nice
+dockets +exp +curio drop chance should all be removed from the perk pool tbh
+dockets is better than everything else tho
Still trash lol
no one is ever going to use those especially considering that max level is where most of your time is spent
if you are going to finish the mission anyway, might as well get something out of it
I guess
and there is a money sink now
can't really imagine myself ever running out of dockets though
I don't want meta progression on my stat stick curio
Try to find a 380 from the lottery machine, I guarantee you your dockets will be gone
I'd be okay with a "+X% plasteel" perk on curios
Nah man, I want tangible in-game stats
numbers must go up
the only curio perk that actually makes a difference is the toughness regen
I don't want slightly more currency of any form taking a slot where I could have something affecting the actual fun part of the game: playing it
difference as in you can feel it
gunner res is fine but doesn't come into play often at all
this is the best curio i've gotten so far my only real complaint is the mutant resistance, like lol just lol, half the time they just throw you away without doing any damage anyway
Yeah, though you know you can actually proc the throw
wdym
If they grab you while a wall is behind you, they throw without the slams
Yeah
Proper play and you either dodge them, or they don't do any dmg anyway
yeah basically
Sniper resistance is pretty good
Yeah
yeah it's ballin
Sniper, gunner, and flamer resistance seem decent
Flamer supposedly doesn't work
Wut
I haven't tested though
Fatshart... why you so bug?
I believe its because of how the damage works
Because flames are a debuff
And it's coded weird
i probably wouldnt use flamer resistance on psyker though in favor of gunner or sniper
Obese Mako says we need moar bufferinos
Oh, so we're back to V1 packmaster crap trinkets again?
ironically the flamers are vulnerable to being puffed with purgatus to stagger and then getting smacked in the head
Of course. But this crafting system...
At least if they ever fix the bug for it, flamer resist won't be "bad", just not as good as others
yeah i never really get hit by flamers
if you’re gonna take res, Sniper,Gunner and Grimoire are my top 3
Yeah, of course, but the crafting system...
I am currently fucking with a damage resistance skew build
Oh shit, right, those are separate resistances. I was thinking they were the same stat
i would just keep grimoire resist on separate curios instead
Yeah, bomber, not flamer
I am leaning that way myself
have a second set
grim to 60 the. two 15s
double grim damnation runs all day with that
that's what i did in in VT2, i had trinkets for raw performance and then other trinkets for farming full grim/tome runs on legend
tight
If only we had a reasonable way to craft good trinkets like V2...
Farming curios is tough, I never find good health or toughness ones on the market anymore
yeah, it’s shitty rn
For real
yeah you cant tailor gear as easily in this game
i mean
so who knows how long it would take to acquire such a setup
not that the 1% of toughness ever matters
its not hard to get the perks etc, but not at the levels you want
Dude, I can't even get any good base curios that I want to craft into something
16% toughness is fine
All I get are endless showers of +wounds ones
19% health is fine
sure its not anazing, but is 3% toughness gonna make or break you at the end of the day?
I don't need more than 1 wound curio
Okay yeah, Trauma + Chainsword feels really good.
okay but i want the bigger number though 
wound curios are training wheels
Maybe you don't, but not all of us are perfect at the game
chainsword is basically a better forcesword
5 Wound Damnation Psyker Best Build? 
imo you dont have to be perfect, you can afford to go down once between every medicae which is pretty good
I would vote to kick that trash
Anyway, point still stands, I don't want any wounds curios, and thats all the shop ever gives me
I’m not sam gamgee, I aint carrying your ass through mordor
I only ever run 1 wound Curio on anything that's not an Ogryn
1 Wound + 2 HP for my Psyker
I’m call Bs
your saying you check 6 tomes a day and never see toughness or health?
there are 24 opportunities to get curios in the base shop, at 4 types
melk has a new curio every day
No, I check maybe 3 at most because I'm not a psycho, and any time it's not wounds, it's with some garbage like +exp
Or really low hp %
unless you started playing yesterday and have only logged in twice
for what it's worth, there's only like 2 curios in the shop per hour, and currently i see a +wound curio and a +stamina curio
Anything was better than Devastating Strikes so-
Infinite Cleave Chainsword kekw
I ain't got time to be constantly trawling the shop when I'm not playing
yeah I have like a dozen curios I hve upgraded from green
I'm gonna keep consecrating grey Chainswords till I get Rampage though
it takes a while to get the stuff yoy want. but yiu always get 1 to select via the rerolls
Do the chainswords get hung up in hordes without sweep?
I am@thinking maybe like two + damages would be ideal
just kill kill kill
if you just do damnation runs big E sometimes just drops good gear on you, if at least to extract a tier 3 or 4 from
like, an antax, monentum is great but headtaker + Decimator might actually be better
Not really unless it's against Flak
ah word
But still, I have a locked in Cleave Blessing
So I just gotta look out for Rampage
its not bad
without momentum i think antax only cleaves like 2 or 3 dudes at a time
Wrath + Rampage go brrr
momentum is what lets you slaughter hordes
does bloodthirsty give 100% crit chance for 5 seconds like it does on the Fs?
momentum doesn’t increase damage
it still does like 0 damage past the 3rd target
it just staggers stuff
even if that is the case being able to stagger as much stuff as you want is amazing
its good, but is it better
something to think about
If I am dodge dancing around, some@extra bois staggering doesn’t necessarily natter to me
especially as a psyker
when I am often block pushing repeatedly anyways
well i guess it depends on if you are trying to use the antax as the single target armor piercer that it was originally intended to be, but im not sure if i would want that on psyker of all classes
Its one of the best weapons we have access to
specializing it for single target armor piercing on psyker when you have brainburst
thats not what I said
it's what i said
increasing damage increases all damage
just straight damage is not always good
increasing cleave makes your attack not stop, but you still can hit all the targets you can damage without it
If you do@more damage, you kill thw horde faster
higher cleave doesn’t mean faster killing
the weapons that are broken in previous tide games are not powerful because they have the strongest singular strikes in the game, you know this right
that is what I am getting at
one of the reasons antax is so good actually has nothing to do with its damage at all
You understand that whether you hve BM or not. an antax hits and damages 3 guys
or actually none, if the horde is mixed
unless you have BM
none?
like i said it has nothing to do with killing power
if BM isnt on and procced and you clang a bulwark shield it is none i would say
so you are pushing every attack anyways a lot of the time, so unless your attack is stopped on the first, taking + damage is often optimal
true, that can happen
realistically that’s an edge case
i mean not really, plenty of mixed hordes have weird conglomerations of hit mass that would give you a similar problem
it’s conventional wisdom to take Brutal momentum, but conventional wisdon is also not always optimal.
people say take BM on tac axes. Weapons that can’t reach more than they can cleave anyaays
Yeah, even just walkers I can feel when BM is procced as it does hang just on trash mobs
right and im explaining to you why people take it despite that
Since Warp Charges are gonna be unique to Psykinetic, do you reckon some staffs like Voidstrike and Trauma might need damage buffs whenever a new Psyker Career comes out?
Yeah I understand your point I am disagreeing with your assement
I don’t need it explained. I fully understand the benefit
if you just wanna smash a big guy's head then yeah take the other blessing but what makes it good is not because it lets you do a bajillion damage to those first three guys or anything
i do think BM is better if that's the crux of what you are saying
BM on Antax is dope af
Flybee thinks becuase I am considering taking a damage over cleave mod I want single tatget
But you can survive without it on it, too
fly can’t get past that even though I repeatedly state I am not talking singlw target benefit
it's good without it im just saying that i think BM is better, which is what you asked
I’m thinking an antax with Decap + headtaker may bring down hordes even faster than one with BM
It can
anyways I’m gonna try build some@more weppies and see how she go
And generally it might
But it depends on the horde
And the density
And other stuff
BM lends itself well to block push spam. it’s optimal for horde control
headtaker+limbsplitter if you are push attacking
the less mixed a horde is sure, but that wraps back to what i said about doing such a thing on psyker of all classes
where you have access to purgatus
Since that attack as a cleave cap
this is a great combo, headtaker is better imo just for when you DO want to chain
You want to light spam with BM
As much as possible
But its also not ideal unless you have a choke point
Why wiuld you light spam@with Bm?
i mean it'd still be cool idk
i simp for BM
It has infinite cleave damage
does it now?
well it does 40ish damage to 3+
i was block oushing in grinder and 0 past the thied hit
talking about lights
Yes
does it actually cleave and do damage infinitely or
cuz yeah i thought it didnt
I've tried it in lab and it munches super thick hordes.
push attack only does damage to 3 as you said
ok cool
same
Lights are great for compact targets
Shoves are great to control enemies and does more cleave to 1st and 2nd target
But no damage to 3+
god damn I wish FS explained this shit
Light attacks with BM is basically the reason Antax is as good as it is.
Its still great without it
just the nature of higher diffs is what made it so good to me even if it did 0 damage
oh well, i cant complain
But BM helps it a lot imo.
with headtaker+limsplitter you can kill 2 groaners with one push attack which is pretty good
BM and decap seem optimal in that case.
I do wonder how often lights sre hitting 3+ tho
Well, I’m gonna have to grind some fuckin meat
no shit
yeah i dont think ive encountered them like that probably ever
Tbf
well, here I go grinding axe’s again
Just had a Recon Lasgun Veteran in my game who said I was throwing for using Trauma Staff

true, zealots really love antax
Qsooo i just realized thst quel ani canceling voidstaff fucks with flurry stacks... sigh
The downside of the push stuff is that it breaks Decimator
yeah it’s extreme, but its not uncommon for hordes to be oretty dense
yarp
shred too
really curios what buffs FS is planning on psyker
i think the changes to quelling make it handy to have nonetheless though
If you could push attack with them on Psyker it'd be ideal
a shred decimator axe for zealot would be incredible
But now its like Limbsplitter that's the only real option.
it doesn’t reset headtaker tho
i see some zealots really like turt sword mk IX with headtaker
for maximum schwing
seems like with the lights the second target is down to 40 damage
and aside from the horizontal swing, you still only hit two
Does queling break nexus flurry stacks? No matter how long quel
and to think, all this theorycrafting for the antax
and vet achieves this by hitting the funny button on his powersword :^)
Yes
Quelling breaks
Fuck
Ulting doesn't
does hitting F reset flurry
Ulting doesn't
oh nice
Speaking of which-
What kinda buffs do you guys wanna see?
i wouldnt mind if brainburst casted a bit faster
Uhh. Make Mind in Motion useful
if they ever improve BB cast time they'll fix 6-3
Preferrably that you just quell at full speed after like 1s
6-3?
Kinetic Barrage
I bet they will change quell speed back, a little cynical if i examine that a little. My hopium is they buff mind in notion.
6-3 reduces the cast time by more like 40+%, not 25% so that's another nerf/fix that may happen at some point
Every chat refers to things differently
Zealot uses levels
Psykers uses tiers
Ogryn use names

I also hope they make the manual charge Brain Burst stop building Peril once it's at max charge
they could make kinetic barrage give you a set of instacast BB charges or something instead
That'd be
True, that too
like maybe not let you cast 5 instantly, maybe like 3
Getting 15% CDR for each instant pop
That's still 45% CDR in ideal conditions
Instantly
Better than Quicken

Imagine if Kinetic Barrage selected random targets hit by your Psykinetic's Wrath and instantly Brain Bursts them
Why is Quicken so bad
well im sure they'd have some number tuning to do, if they did that
What if
They actually
Make the ult different
Instead of giving us different buffs
Ye
Kinetic Barrage popping things in a 5m radius
AB can be the same
Quicken could be that you don't shout but instead get the faster charge on everything and reduced costs
Damn
Imagine
Suddenly choices
also ascendant blaze has a warp charge generating passive attached to it reagarding soulblaze, and purgatus is already so good , i question why the other level 30 feats dont have something similar
Serious Hopium huffing right here
I remember ppl saying kinetic flayer should be 5 seconds and prioritize specials. Imagine getting 4 warp charges in 20 seconds, you'll never have to BB manually again. It was unexamined idea though, kinda hilarious thinking back on it
Personally I would prefer something that gives a reward not just by the press of a button but by synergizing with something else.
Perhaps targets affected by wrath could have our cast time on BB become shorter.
Kinetic Flayer should be 10% all the time.
maybe have a per target cd
wdym 10% all the time
Yeah there needs to be better ways of generating Warp Charges for staffs beyond Purgatus
so you don't just
Thats still like 30% stronger hehe
delete
you'd delete bosses with a recon
No CD
Take away the 15s cooldown
Reduce chance from 15% to 10%
That's what they mean
That's roughly 4 headpops in an entire clip
Wait
you could also delete bosses with a purgatus
It's already 10%
since every tick can proc flaying
mb
give it a per target cd(that is still quite low)
What's funny is
i agree with this
That it's only an average DPS increase of 85

But Purge would be nutty
Make it less % or something idgaf
purg hits like a million times and they would all have a 10% chance to bb
Just remove the CD.
That change would instantly make Surge and Trauma able to compete with Purge too
absolutely purg could break such an ability
What about a mechanic where you fill a certain resource pool by killing things and when that reaches a limit, it either slows or halts the expiration of warp charges. If you are good at killing and can keep killing you can maintain it easier, no need to change how the weapons work in relation to that.
surge shouldn't have a target limit
I hope they remove the reduced damage of chained lighting per target from Surge
just let it flow through the whole horde
They were actually shit talking me.
Surge should always do max damage
what are y'all hoping for with the Psyker buffs next week? Thinking they might boost the class's base Toughness a bit? 👀
Until you let go
yes please
would be so pretty too
not necessarily up to Vet's absurd 200, but even smth like 150 👀
I hope they remove Surge's reduced damage from chained lighting, so that it always deals max damage.
deadass no one likes maintaining warp charges manually, the more automatic the better i say, if they even have to stay at all
yeah fair
I doubt they'll buff base stats
now I want a mod like that just for grinder
But who knows
I think people wouldn't mind warp charges being an upkeep thing
If they were more impactful overall
perhaps
They could rework some of the Feats, like how they reworked one of Ogryn's feats
it just feels weird to me that Vet has more base toughness with the explanation that they get it because of being a ranged-heavy class, while Psyker's out here with the same base toughness as Zealot and Ogryn
I hope they nerf everything so the game can be challenging again, it's a joke right now 😄
Veteran needs heavy nerfs
the only time i ever find myself paying attention to charges is to check if i have 6 to dump into an ascendant blaze proc
They're playing the game on easy mode
at that point we just need a diff 6
Okay but have you played a game with Knife Zealots and Recon Las Veterans?
sometimes i dont even do that though
There's your challenge, right there.
Good point 😄
I carry games as Knife Zealot
Knife + Revolver is goat
If you think Surge is a good weapon then you can't say that this combo is bad

Actually fun
Also, reckon Quietude should be increased 5% Toughness per 10% Peril quelled to 10% Toughness per?
Quietitude is kind of nutty atm, idk.
I will say having played a ton of matches with all the staffs, Trauma is by far the best one in the case of "helping any team comp".
You can get so much toughness back so quickly
Surge hasn't ever felt particularly fun or good to me tbh, it's just felt like a win-more staff
Trauma is the most pub safe Staff, ye
Surge removes certain enemies entirely
surge is very much a support staff
And its good vs Flak and Carapace
But otherwise I'd rather have anything else
if that makes sense
Surge just needs to not do reduced damage to chained targets
it definitely does remove certain enemies entirely, but idk I'd just rather cover the weaknesses of Brain Burst with something like Trauma
Surge is Trauma without the damage 🤡
The reason I don't care about Surge cc
surge does more damage than trauma tbh
Is that the other staves CC
surge only hits up to like 8 things i think, i do wish killed just a bit better in light of that
And they CC more targets and Trauma CC is even better in my eyes.
Surge Staff is like Shield for Ogryn in some cases.
"Look, I'm CCing all the enemies!" when you could use something else and kill them instead.
Brain Burst to me is my equivalent to my Zealot's TH or an Ogryn's Can Opener Ripper Gun, so I've already got anti-armor baseline and my weapons should build around that
sure CC is for elite packs and area denial for bursters dogs trappers etc
I think I need more clarity on the inner impact zone before I think about how to change it.
Sometimes you just don't know where you hit.
But you know you did something.
surge kills most elites it CCs pretty efficiently
surge area denial cannot be understated. Its offensive power lines in digging out scab and dreg gunners
