psyker-class

[wide tiger]

since 15/20 is above 97

[robust meteor]

mods are prone to causing new issues. making it hard to figure out which isn't working

[timid storm]

At 97 you pretty much explode, that's like a second of crit

[wide tiger]

you get one cast

[steel flame]

most of these are just surface level with ui

[timid storm]

Strange that they want us to succumb to the warp

Where do we install mods?

[olive ember]

I forget the scaling I believe besides warp unleashed most peril scaling perks is 5% at 0 10% at like 30 15% at like 70 and 20% at like 97

[robust meteor]

you dont know which mods i've downloaded

[olive ember]

Idr tho so the numbers are prob off

If someone has the numbers

[wide tiger]

I dont think you get a baseline bonus at 0, can anyone who's tested educate me?

[olive ember]

I think you do don’t you? Or am I mixing it up with warp unleashed

Where’s the pygex steam guide

[leaden thunder]

warp unleash you get like

10% at 0

[steel flame]

i really like the freecam myself. you can really see how everything is built and how everything is instanced, its fun. helpful? not really, fun? yes

[wide tiger]

warp unleashed is 10+(warp % * 0.15) or something

but i think peril is like, 50/70/97/97 or something really dumb

nexus and unstable power need fixin'

[olive ember]

Damn I’m surprised the pygex steam guide isn’t pinned

[steel flame]

oh joy

'

i cant even join the game now

stupid sever errors

[feral verge]

i have terrible luck with trauma staff crafting

every single staff i buy looks like this p much

no blast radius

[spice veldt]

68% charge rate smh

[feral verge]

got an acceptable grey for once

but shit perk

[cursive marten]

why

[feral verge]

rip

ik the feel

i have 5 like that

atleast im already close to max hp possible

[lethal lagoon]

Ordo dockets kind of matter now, not terrible. T5 is easy enough to have at least 1 ulity curio

Curio as mission reward is better than some random gun too

[cursive marten]

yeah but still feels bad man

170 rating bad two rolls

[smoky vigil]

Thank god! That sound has f up my hearing.. Even tho i put the volume waaay down

[olive ember]

Look at all these fake psykers who don’t play with peril sound effects

[lethal lagoon]

fake psykers should go back to playing vet >.<

[smoky vigil]

🥹

[lethal lagoon]

Jokes aside, I'd really love a mod that tones down Purgatory staff

I literally can't use it

[lunar hollow]

in the very small chance that psyker from a low int damnation assassination who almost clutched the game by rezzing another psyker, a zealot, and an ogryn is here

i commend you

that was impressive to watch

mf was playing dance dance revolution ducking in and out of cover to brainburst a bunch of reapers and gunners

[lethal lagoon]

Doubt they'll see it, but that's nice of you.

[lunar hollow]

its a shame this game will spawn two fucking hounds behind you

when you're the last one alive

it was an almost epic moment ruined

[leaden thunder]

had that happen and a mutie as well

[lunar hollow]

he shoved the first one and the impact from the second landing killed him outright

[lethal lagoon]

The game tries reallly hard to kill the last person alive, there is definitely input reading involved.

The spawns sometimes just go crazy when you rush towards a revive spot

[lunar hollow]

yep

[olive ember]

Reminds me of this https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11m1fny/fraggin_sniper_absolutely_karks_my_moment_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[lunar hollow]

i actually almost clutched a heresy run as zealot once

i did something really cool and placed myself to where two bursters could reach me right before a hound pounced

i got pounced

bursters knocked me off

[olive ember]

Ik they have increased disabler spawns when you are alone so I’d assume that kicks in if you are last alive

[lunar hollow]

i later died to another two hounds

it was shit

[lethal lagoon]

Most times I clutch and save everyone we lose anyways because of the insane spawns the game churned out while I was alone.

Geniune clutches are pretty rare on t5

[leaden thunder]

I think the game spawns specials when 1 player is seperated

so constantly when you are the last alive

[lunar hollow]

idk

i feel like the rate at which specials spawn is higher when youre separated but the team is alive

[smoky vigil]

Was he/she bald?

[spice veldt]

i hate that doors can be literally right next to you in the map

[lunar hollow]

potentially

he had the loner psyker voice

(i did too)

[spice veldt]

and dogs can pounce you immediately from them

[lunar hollow]

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP

BOOM

gets flung and loses half of health

[lethal lagoon]

I've noticed the games specials seem to have their moves in-line with the normal revive time. I always try to have at least 1 revive speed cause of that.

They always stop you at like 95-99% of a revive

[lunar hollow]

i run revive speed as much as possible

im just good enough to go down last but not good enough to clutch most times haha

[smoky vigil]

Loner voice?

[leaden thunder]

german one for males

[smoky vigil]

Aaah

[lethal lagoon]

Male psykers have the best voices lmao.

Out of all the classes

Wish we had female Ogryns. I don't know what the lore is, but I bet they'd be hilarious.

[mellow dock]

Good or sht?

[leaden thunder]

good once warp flurry gets fixed

[mellow dock]

Perks good?

[leaden thunder]

eh

replace specialist with crit chance imo

[mellow dock]

ty

[rocky cedar]

Laspistol 😎

[cyan notch]

get 5%

[rocky cedar]

Wow that was quick

[cyan notch]

[wide tiger]

if they give all guns on psyker a special peril generator then sure 😛

[rocky cedar]

They definitely should do that

[wide tiger]

I'd be down

[rocky cedar]

They shot themselves in the foot showing they can do it for one weapon

[opaque temple]

so you can deal no damage AND generate peril?

how useful

[leaden thunder]

on the las pistol?

las pistol fucks

[rocky cedar]

It's a 10 m push, it's like a mini Ult

[wide tiger]

welcome to being a psyker

[rocky cedar]

Anyway I wasn't suggesting every gun should have the same special push

[opaque temple]

the BB nerf was the most unnecessary thing ever and I still seethe about it

[rocky cedar]

Just something neat and unique that interacts with peril

[leaden thunder]

i'd rather have that push then 100% of bashes weapons have

[rocky cedar]

BB is pretty perfect currently

[leaden thunder]

on non ogryn at least

[rocky cedar]

If you're not cheeks at the game

[wide tiger]

from the CB to open? wasnt that because people were complaining psykers were only using BB? as if it was super efficient or some bs

[cyan notch]

yea i can see them giving a push to weapons that have a bash

probably not the torchlight guns tho

[opaque temple]

it was psyker's primary DPS source in the closed beta

you could match veterans getting stream of headshots by just spamming BB

then they nerfed the damage HARD

[wide tiger]

I mean i played the CB

BB was different but

If we had our gear now, then

[rocky cedar]

If BB was any stronger than what it is currently it'd 100% be overtuned

[opaque temple]

I don't agree at all

damage is pitiful

[wide tiger]

I just want a divorce of BB from all our feats

[rocky cedar]

If you want the game to be pitifully easy I imagine you would

[spice veldt]

brain burst is a utility weapon; it just gets a lot of responsibility shoved onto it because it's our only single-target ranged DPS weapon

[wide tiger]

ill never get that though so i make my peace

[cyan notch]

lol imagine 100% quell ult + faster charge + warp battery + psykinetic's aura + kinetic barrage

u could just spam that all day

[spice veldt]

the anti-armor and anti-shield capability of brain burst already makes it quite good

[rocky cedar]

Yeah it'd get disgusting fast

[opaque temple]

as it is now the only purpose it serves is bypassing armor

[wide tiger]

i mean vets are pretty disgusting now

so are zealots

[cyan notch]

or killing specials at range

[spice veldt]

with kinetic barrage, it's pretty good for taking out elites/specials

[rocky cedar]

Yeah Vet is hella dumb

[wide tiger]

if vet can be hella dumb why set the bar so low for ourselves

dare to dream damnit

[proven raven]

Vet is how they tune ranged

Zealot is how they tune melee

[spice veldt]

BB is boring to me so i'd rather they not buff it too much

[rocky cedar]

Because I don't want every class trivialising the game?

That's so boring

I want Vet nerfed not the other way around

[opaque temple]

tell me you don't play PUGs without telling me you don't play PUGs

[rocky cedar]

I exclusively play Damn pugs

[spice veldt]

what's wrong with that statement?

[rocky cedar]

Skill issue

[wide tiger]

I play damnation pugs too, there are definitely skill issues in some of those pugs lol

[opaque temple]

You're so cool, man
bragging about your gaming skills on the internet

[wide tiger]

that level 27 shieldgryn

who's like afk

[spice veldt]

you don't really get to say that after baiting him

[rocky cedar]

I'm not bragging, you made an incorrect assumption

I corrected it

[opaque temple]

can't really bait someone into acting superior

[wide tiger]

Also whats up with people just not looting in t5's? That seems super common in pugs

[spice veldt]

is there anything wrong with his statement beyond "acting superior"?

you acted superior by insinuating his opinion was of less worth for not apparently playing pugs

[rocky cedar]

Also "skill issue" was mostly tongue in cheek, I do think the game would be way too easy if every class was as strong as Vet though

And I actually want the game to last a long time

[wide tiger]

yeah i feel you

I know people are already asking for t6

[rocky cedar]

And we ain't getting modded difficulties in all likelihood

[lofty sable]

the game is already really easy with a decent group. if everyone could obliterate elites like the vet what would be even the point

[rocky cedar]

So buffs are dangerous

[wide tiger]

Honestly, lights out has been the hardest mode for me

[viral solstice]

i think everybody should be as dumb as p ossible

[cyan notch]

me

[wide tiger]

i thought hi5 was the epitome of darktide difficulty

[spice veldt]

darktide servers probably can't handle more enemies than hi5

[rocky cedar]

That'd be sweet if the damn modifiers were even available a fraction of the time I'm online

[wide tiger]

Ooo Melk reset

time to tease myself with gear i shouldnt buy

damn i got super lucky, its all pure garbage

oh wait.

[fierce sinew]

I'm on the blooddrunk "make a bunch of psykers for improved melk odds" train

the endgame we deserve

[feral verge]

for once, something kinda interesting

[wide tiger]

you got a force sword in your melk shop?

Now i know you're a fuckin heretic

[lethal lagoon]

I made a second psyker for that reason haha, lvling them as a gun psyker for the memes.

[fierce sinew]

it's pretty funny to confuse the pugs

a guy thought I was hacking

because I'm wearing the monstro chestpiece

at level 4

[wide tiger]

Praise heresy I too have a melk offering of a force sword:

[feral verge]

YOOOOO

EXORCIST

YOU JUST WON THE DARKTIDE LOTTERY

INSTABUY

HOLY SHIT WISH I HAD YOUR LUCK

[echo turtle]

ooof that damage

Lol I tossed out a rank 4 excorsist and slapped slaughterer on it

[lunar hollow]

how good is this

its in melks shop

[leaden thunder]

precog

[lunar hollow]

precog is bad

but can be replaced

[rocky cedar]

Now I know warp unleashed works on all force sword attacks I'm tempted to mess around with it again

[spice veldt]

stats are meh

[feral verge]

first target too low for my taste

[spice veldt]

finesse is pretty important for that attack speed

[wide tiger]

I didnt think exorcist was good on the FS tbh

[feral verge]

i was kidding

[echo turtle]

Rn I have a well statted Slaught+Unstable. With Warp damage + and 6 charges. It’s actually pretty dope

[wide tiger]

how rude.

[fierce sinew]

finesse is important on FS full stop, it has dummy scaling there

[spice veldt]

if I used staff more, i'd probably like exorcist

[wide tiger]

t3 slaughterer would be a good pick up

if i needed it

[fierce sinew]

more than almost anything

[echo turtle]

After all this time, It’s finally hitting the points for a Rhinox endorsement

[rocky cedar]

Slaughter + unstable seems like a very sweet setup

[echo turtle]

Damage, Finesse First target Monility, in that order

[spice veldt]

took a +10% damage buff for it to be viable to you huh

[rocky cedar]

Deflector for chumps

[hollow current]

T4 warp flurry

[echo turtle]

it is

Also, Last game I played was a Hi-5
2 blocked attacks the entire time

[rocky cedar]

Not that it wasn't viable just not hugely interesting

[echo turtle]

and I was in melee a lot

FS has unlimited dodges. You can easily just not get hit

[wide tiger]

I dont think the block melee stats work on scoreboard

or block period

Ive blocked like

a million attacks

[lunar hollow]

scoreboard is very buggy

[fierce sinew]

if it does it definitely doesn't count blocks that happen during revives

[wide tiger]

it's said 0 at the end

[fierce sinew]

I know that much

[rocky cedar]

I'm so mad revives don't show up on scoreboard

I'd be topping that shit every game

[fierce sinew]

revive state in general seems harder to track

[echo turtle]

Eh, Either way I got gaurd broken 0 times

and I wasn’t running KD

[echo turtle]

I’m suprised it doesn’t track that

[rocky cedar]

There's a place for it but it's always 0

[fierce sinew]

it's just not currently working, yeah

[leaden thunder]

it tracks a lot of other useless stuff

so that's suprsing

[rocky cedar]

Hard to implement it would seem

[echo turtle]

Complex

[rocky cedar]

Mod creator is still trying to work it out

Immeasurably

[echo turtle]

so the shredder

I gotta say

not impressed

[feral verge]

immeasurably

[rocky cedar]

Beat you to it punk

[fierce sinew]

the fact that blocks that happen during revives aren't counted makes me think it is at minimum measurably complex for an outsider to the codebase to interact with

[rocky cedar]

You got pinning + blaze?

[echo turtle]

I dont have blaze

[rocky cedar]

Cause if so you need your eyes checked

[olive ember]

You need pinning away 4 and blaze away like 3+

[leaden thunder]

with pinning it's ok

[echo turtle]

so

[leaden thunder]

with both it's crazy

[rocky cedar]

Blaze helps a lot for deleting mutants

[echo turtle]

I’ll reserve judgement

[rocky cedar]

Blaze only comes in 3

[olive ember]

It’s rly dependent on having that particular blessing combo

[rocky cedar]

I have pinning 3 + blaze and it feels cracked to me

[olive ember]

It’s like having an hsword but no blessings otherwise kek

[echo turtle]

kk I shall keep an eye open@for that before i write it off

gonna be farming up Bloodthirsty, slaugh4 and Unstable4 for the FS tho

so sadly, no shredder for me

[rocky cedar]

I run shredder with both communion and flayer

Kinda overkill

But feels incredibly nice with essence harvest

[echo turtle]

shredder blaze?

blaze build

[rocky cedar]

No KB

Covers shredders weakness very well

[echo turtle]

yeah, I feel like flayer and KB go together well

you need either communion or flater

both does seem like overkill, but the regen is really noce

[rocky cedar]

It's really great being able to just spray a horde for heals

And shredder is like instant KB procs

I find it basically insta kills elites I shoot at surprisingly often

But yeah if you want min max probably aura or cerebral are better

[mellow dock]

did anyone just get dc'ed from the game?

[olive ember]

Lots of crashes with this patch

[mellow dock]

was at the end

great mission

[feral verge]

yeah

jsut got dc'd

[mellow dock]

and error 9999 or something

[echo turtle]

Aura is lit with KB since there is all upside to triggering the ult

[lethal lagoon]

@mellow dock Did you return to the morngingstar or the login screen?

[mellow dock]

Login screen

[olive ember]

Communion is QoL but if you are running KB you only need KF to upkeep

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, that's a known bug, just craps out at end of mission.

[echo turtle]

aura also gives the team cdr, which is hard to quantify but really good

[mellow dock]

but we didnt get to the last phase of the mission

just got in the elevator

and dc'ed

[long wharf]

I think aura is overrated

because all the other classes have reliable ways of doing CDR on their own for themselves

[echo turtle]

Imo optimal is comminion with battery or aura with flayer.

you could do aura and flayer but then have to keep charges up with bursts which I dont love having to do

[mellow dock]

what is CDR

[echo turtle]

cool down reduction

[viral solstice]

[feral verge]

I use it for me

[echo turtle]

sorry aura and batter

[viral solstice]

rending shockwave 4 on a trauma

still no surge

[feral verge]

It's neat that it helps other classes

But it's for me

[echo turtle]

it does

it helps you a lot

[lethal lagoon]

Why do you want surge on Trauma? For if/when they fix it?

[cyan notch]

[viral solstice]

i want surge for everything

but for voidstrike

i wanna shoot more than one blob

i just wanna be unable to hold

all these blobs

[olive ember]

But you get your F back faster tho

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

Are you good player?

[hoary hearth]

Should I buy this just for shred 4?

[viral solstice]

yes im good player (deserve surge)

[olive ember]

You should try out my MetaPsykerTM build

Open your eyes

[viral solstice]

ill do it once if i dont get surge

build isnt meta

[olive ember]

You gonna run MetaPsykerTM?

[lethal lagoon]

What was that again? Dagger and one of those fancy pants autoguns?

[viral solstice]

Wait dagger is op tho it has stab

[leaden thunder]

claw sword and columnus

[lethal lagoon]

Wait you don't even have a force weapon

[olive ember]

Feel free to sub the Columnus for recon if you think it’s worse

I have to fucking test it again fml

Prob recon still better

[lethal lagoon]

@leaden thunder Which autogun do you use on vet btw

[leaden thunder]

uh, agripina braced, both vraks and I am hunting for an agripina IAG

[lethal lagoon]

Ty

[gilded viper]

Take that back

Recon is goated

[olive ember]

Zealot chat disagrees

[gilded viper]

And more usable then Columbus high recoil ass

Zealot don't even have the weapon so opinion voided

[olive ember]

@stuck sinew

[gilded viper]

Like yeah dps is king but my brother in chirst u can't hit shit with that gun

[leaden thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[gilded viper]

[leaden thunder]

(idc, I am just messing)

[gilded viper]

Lol

[stuck sinew]

I have video evidence

[cloud sequoia]

Melk shop bugged yesterday

if you don't want to lose your money go ahead

[hoary hearth]

Alreeady bought it and it was okay

[olive ember]

It was fine for me

Wait

Did I buy anything yesterday

Idr

[gilded viper]

Atleast rather a recon > the autogun mk V, mk 1 and actually nice

[hoary hearth]

I bought it just so I could melt it for shred 4

[gilded viper]

I bought a infus pistol from melk today, seem to work

[leaden thunder]

but for me there is only like 1 weapon who recoil is so bad that it suffer due to it and thats the mk5 ripper non braced and that's spaming it, but I haven't used the colomnus ina hot minute

[stuck sinew]

the columnus just requires some burst discipline, first 3 shots are fine

then it gets a bit wild

[gilded viper]

Yeah I get that, I just think the v version is not that good with how fast it get to be uncontrollable for doing little damage

The other version is more manageable for busting

Burst fire*

[stuck sinew]

Idk I find the agri jumps quite a lot too

[feral verge]

looooooll

look at this dood

[stuck sinew]

and the graia has the best recoil, but lacks ammo efficiency

[feral verge]

mk5 dueling sword using ass

[stuck sinew]

and has lowest dps

[gilded viper]

Tbh all autogun recoil are weird compare to other shooting game KEKW

[feral verge]

m4 dueling sword gang rise up

[stuck sinew]

lies

best for single target

[leaden thunder]

I have been told that one of the vraks has really bad recoil if you spam it

but I haven't had issues with it

[olive ember]

Probably cuz it has horizontal recoil

[gilded viper]

True

[feral verge]

stay mad. stay bad - brought to you by mk4 dueling sword

[olive ember]

If you used GTFO smg you would hate it kek

[leaden thunder]

recoil in games is so scuffed

[olive ember]

Imagine using a dueling sword? Only thing that’s worse is a devils claw

[echo turtle]

I had one with 30 stability, and it jumped up like it was pulled by a magnet. My new one has 70 stability and it’s rock steady

[feral verge]

ok 'metapsyker' malice playin ass

[leaden thunder]

it's damn approved

wdym

[stuck sinew]

Mk4 is ok but it's the middle option that doesn't really excell in any particular niche

[olive ember]

MetaPsykerTM has been proven to beat hi 5

[tiny ivy]

Is bloodthirsty on a force sword worth the melk bucks?

[stuck sinew]

other than saltzpyre larping

[feral verge]

i heard the mk2 is the meh middle ground

[leaden thunder]

if you don't have it 100% imo

it's quite hard to get

[stuck sinew]

mk2 is the horde clear one

[olive ember]

It’s good to have in case you take a leave of your senses and want a FS without deflector

[feral verge]

mk4 is horde clear i think, afaik

[cloud sequoia]

Ah nice

[olive ember]

That’s mk V

[stuck sinew]

mk V is the single target, mkIV is middle

[gilded viper]

Can confirmed with blood and tears

[echo turtle]

Imagine needing to block bullets when dodge exists

[lethal folio]

There is very little difference between II and IV

[olive ember]

Or am I mixing it up meh

[echo turtle]

Deflector is for Wusses

[olive ember]

Deflector meta

.>

[echo turtle]

all gas no brakes

[cloud sequoia]

Headtaker and shred

[leaden thunder]

imagine playing psyker when I can kill things with my mind on zealot

[stuck sinew]

MkV has the most goated mobility too

[feral verge]

mk4 drippiest

drip stat most important stat in the game

[olive ember]

Then why are you using dueling swords lmao

Look like shit

[leaden thunder]

real drip is using a force greatsword

[stuck sinew]

MkV has better dodge and sprint speed than the knife

[feral verge]

ew i cant believe i have this in my inventory i should destory it

[gilded viper]

My best dueling sword is 2 Kekw

[stuck sinew]

they're all good tbh

[gilded viper]

Had the 383 base bug with it

They kinda all feel the same outside of V 1 shoting most trash mob on heavy

[stuck sinew]

V heavy claps cheeks

[gilded viper]

But it attack fast so doing an extra light isn't that bad of a deal if I do heavy light on 2

[stuck sinew]

Mine 3 shots muties

[feral verge]

what blessings you running

[stuck sinew]

I still need to fiddle with my blessings tbh

[feral verge]

i swap between these

[stuck sinew]

the crit ones are probably good because they have good crit damage

[feral verge]

i think i like the shred + riposte one more

ik crit perk is a meme, but i kinda want a true crit saber

shred iv, riposte iv, crit dmg crit chance perk

[olive ember]

Wat are the meta blessings on ds anyways… no one talks about em cuz they are pbad but yea

[stuck sinew]

Been using Uncanny on the knife to pretty good effect, haven't got it on duelling yet

[feral verge]

dont see the point for uncanny

just BB those dudes

[stuck sinew]

yeah but you're not BBing dreg bruisers I guess

it also gives stagger for some reason

at least on knife

[leaden thunder]

thing with the dueling sword blessings is there is only like

[olive ember]

I mean knife is one of the meta psyker melees

[leaden thunder]

1 bad one

the rest are fine

[olive ember]

And completely replaces ds

[stuck sinew]

It's probably better for knife tbh

honestly I feel like DS is just better knife

[feral verge]

knife boring, knife lame, knife got no drip

[leaden thunder]

like the only bad blessing on the DS is precog

everything else is pretty fine

[stuck sinew]

better reach, better horde clear (mk2/4), better single/mobility (mkV)

[feral verge]

no cleave

[olive ember]

Precog

They rly should nerf precog just to make it extra meme tier

[feral verge]

i swear they nerfed the 360+ rating drop rate

from brunt's

[stuck sinew]

If Zealot could use DS I would use nothing else on that class lmao

[feral verge]

fuck it. my weapons are good enough

[gilded viper]

Ds would be strong with crit feat from zealot

That would be pog

[feral verge]

im just gonna bank this crap till it's hopefulyl fixed. probably wont

[olive ember]

XD that’s my thought process on most my weapons

[gilded viper]

Just close your eyes and pretend the stat don't exist

[stuck sinew]

DS zealot would be goated with the sauce

[feral verge]

i want that bad

i've been saying that

[gilded viper]

Honesty I want Shotgun psyker

I want more guns

[stuck sinew]

I want more unique gun interactions with psyker

besides laspistol push

[lethal folio]

Wait for gunslinger revolver

[gilded viper]

Feel like they need to remove alot of weapon flashlight for that to happen , or psyker get the brace autoguns since all of their special are just bashes

[lethal folio]

Has special interaction.

[stuck sinew]

HH has bash too

[gilded viper]

oh shit I forgot we have the HH

[echo turtle]

HH is lit

i have a mk3, it absolutely fucks

[stuck sinew]

And psyker doesn't really need to worry about its shit maniac damage

Just BB

[gilded viper]

No, just melee dwelling sword

[stuck sinew]

Or that

[gilded viper]

Sheesh

[lethal folio]

The wonkiest animation ever.

[gilded viper]

Psyker op

Plz neft

[stuck sinew]

goofy

[olive ember]

That’s like the most pathetic animation I’ve seen

[gilded viper]

Wish the other 2 pistol had the force push, fine out it work through walls

[olive ember]

Like I don’t think that shit would hurt that bad even irl

[stuck sinew]

nope lol

[long wharf]

what the absolute fuck is up with that animation?

somebody needs to grab that artist, and the one that did the bayonet slash animation, and take them to a military base

[echo turtle]

It’s pretty obvious the devs doing these animations have not trained in combat sports

[long wharf]

they've neither "trained", nor done "sports"

let alone anything combat related

[echo turtle]

The force sword is clearly a longsword, is held instead one handed like a short sword, and slashes around like a fencing rapier or saber

[olive ember]

I think it would genuinely look better if you grabbed the gun by the barrel and used it like a bat

[cold geode]

yea, its really odd that a bunch of computer nerds arent into hand to hand combat

[echo turtle]

Lots of nerds are into combat sports

[long wharf]

it's really odd for people that put a lot of effort into attention to detail for the lore create animations without referencing real-world examples

[cold geode]

lol

[echo turtle]

especially medieval ones. It’s like all nerds

[long wharf]

also, there are plenty of nerds with real military experience, myself being one

I met many while in the Army

[echo turtle]

the SCA and warhammer crossover is significant

[cold geode]

I APOLOGIZE i was doing a bit of trollin

[echo turtle]

how dare you

[leaden thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-skull-emoji-sus-smile-gif-25113334

[echo turtle]

have fun , in this channel

[olive ember]

No trolling in psyker chat

Go to zealot chat for that

Or just mention how great shield ogryn is in ogryn chat

👌

[echo turtle]

shield@ogryn, best ogryn

my friend is a shield ogryn and won the best ogryn north america award 3 years in a row

[frank talon]

A (in Milk's Shop) or B (already owned)?

[cold geode]

I only play pistol/devils claw pskyer

[olive ember]

Pistol is actually good tho

[cold geode]

XD

[feral verge]

blazing spirit meh

melk's shop staff have best in slot blessings

[cold geode]

Blazing spirit is my boy

[frank talon]

I like blazing, it feels nice after the update to include the AoE

isn't flurry still bugged?

[olive ember]

Yep

[feral verge]

only on surge and purga

[frank talon]

flurry works on purge

[olive ember]

I mean it’s always worked on trauma and voidstrike

Nope

It works until you slap nexus on it

And then it breaks

[frank talon]

wtf

[olive ember]

There’s a Reddit post somewhere

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11jev3t/psa_warp_flurry_blessing_makes_your_purgatus/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[frank talon]

Am I going to miss the 10% blast radius if I grab A?

I want to take it cause of the warp res lmao

[leaden thunder]

on void?

[frank talon]

yes

[feral verge]

war resist is the dump stat on void

warp*

[leaden thunder]

blast radius does like nothing

[spice veldt]

blast radius and warp resistance are the dump stats on void

blast radius, cuz the scaling is poopoo

[feral verge]

transfer peril makes warp resist a non issue

[spice veldt]

warp resistance, cuz transfer peril exists

[frank talon]

So I should keep B then

[spice veldt]

yeah; B seems pretty good

[frank talon]

B is what I've had since December lmao

[feral verge]

staff is is very close to what i use for my mian build

which i take into high int damnation

[olive ember]

Ew

Voidstrike user

[spice veldt]

i'd prefer transfer peril + warp flurry blessings, but transfer peril is good nuff

[frank talon]

Voidstrike Enjoyer***

Well thank you for the input guys, I guess I'm saving my milk-money for at least 22 hours

[long wharf]

milkies

[feral verge]

terrifiyng barrage is useless on trauma right?

[leaden thunder]

eh

[olive ember]

🤔 well it’s not worth

[feral verge]

i want to use trauma bad, but have no good staves

[olive ember]

Since you have better blessings

Those being flurry and rending

[leaden thunder]

terrifying is never uselss but it's often not that good

[spice veldt]

i prefer flurry, rending, or focused on trauma

[olive ember]

It’s just better than the rest on purge and surge

[leaden thunder]

*note that rending shockwave doesn't increase your own damage on the truma

generally

[olive ember]

Meh focused is just a skill issue

[spice veldt]

why do you keep calling it a skill issue

you get ranged damage resistance on toughness break

i took a health curio and I'm going to make use of that health

[feral verge]

these are my "best" trauma staves

[olive ember]

Oof

[feral verge]

oh

i have a blazing spirit one

[leaden thunder]

that's fun at least

[feral verge]

mayhaps i'll upgrade it

[olive ember]

I mean replace blazing spirit and you got something

[leaden thunder]

I mean shockwave is only helpful to your team(or if you swap to your melee) so it's not terrible to not have it

[olive ember]

How dare you

How else are they gonna deal with 8 crushers

[feral verge]

mehhhhhhhh

[spice veldt]

idk deal with them by yourself

[olive ember]

BAH

[spice veldt]

f

at least it has +unarmoured as a perk already

a warp flurry trauma staff is pretty good already, and those aren't terrible stats

[feral verge]

what perk? flak?

[spice veldt]

i prefer flak for shotgunners (both dreg and scab shotgunners have a base armour type of flak)

[lethal folio]

Infested if you don't use warp unleashed.

[spice veldt]

eh, the outer radius damage will kill them off anyways

if you're blasting into a horde, you're presumably going to do it more than once

[feral verge]

i'll give it a try

first time using a non voidstrike in a v long time

[leaden thunder]

how many charges do you need to 1 shot poxies?

[viral solstice]

sorry to do this to u but the style points had to be collected https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/YF6yLRnye89v_/d1337GspIm11?invite=cr-MSwxcE4sMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[leaden thunder]

you don't need all 6 right

[cyan notch]

like 2

[spice veldt]

yeah, you need a 7% damage increase to one-shot infested with 74% dmg

[olive ember]

why aren't you using the columnus

madge

[viral solstice]

i am

look at the gun

[olive ember]

yeah you didn't use it against the mauler

[viral solstice]

yes

i wouldnt have triggered overload

if i used the gun

like the timing is tight enough

[olive ember]

also

you had your ability up

[viral solstice]

yes

[olive ember]

couldve just pressed c

[viral solstice]

yes

obviously

[olive ember]

XD

[viral solstice]

thats the point lol

[olive ember]

did you win?

[viral solstice]

i know it works

yes

but u make the people watching

fucking shit themselves

because they can see ur overloading

[olive ember]

was it worth the 1/3 corruption

[spice veldt]

smh

psychological damage

[viral solstice]

i mean

of course

it was my only down in the whoel game

[cyan notch]

itd be funny if the vet didnt realise u went down and walked off the edge

[viral solstice]

i did have a lil moment

because chat wasnt working in that game

and i was like wait will his vet brain realise what happened

but he managed

[olive ember]

thanks darktide

[spice veldt]

stuck in loading screen hell?

[olive ember]

nah just loading in

just that was the first msg I saw upon loading in lmao

damn

look how amazing this sword is

[leaden thunder]

love 10% impact

[viral solstice]

get it for the buff

i was using a 46% damage devil c law

with vicious slice

and the columnus was a green with 67% damage and 5% crit perk

kind of optimised

[olive ember]

[viral solstice]

but ye the explosion res is a great way to make ppl hate u

just dont lag

[obtuse crypt]

I dont get it there's no teir 4 and the stats are mid

[olive ember]

its amazing wat you mean

look at the stats

[cyan notch]

buy it then

no balls

[rocky cedar]

@viral solstice vicious slice any good?

[olive ember]

too poor

[rocky cedar]

Sounds pretty bad from description

[lethal folio]

It's worse than that.

[olive ember]

its actually bugged

it does impact damage not actual damage

XD

[rocky cedar]

Oh lol

[viral solstice]

ye

and its like

[spice veldt]

viciously applying impact to enemies

[olive ember]

@cyan notch pls donate 2k milkies

[viral solstice]

not only is the blessing named impact

[olive ember]

I am poor now

[viral solstice]

the stat it affects is named impact

so they knew what it was when they buffed it

presumably...?

[spice veldt]

in the code right?

[viral solstice]

ye

[rocky cedar]

So run it with trauma blessing for CC sword

[viral solstice]

cc sword is already op

[spice veldt]

stagger meta

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/MhGsnlx1aadQY/d1337o2uMKpv?invite=cr-MSw5SFcsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[spice veldt]

pacifist run

[rocky cedar]

What's the best CC sword combo?

Blessing wise

[spice veldt]

damn a crusher throwdown that doesn't cost 4% peril

OP

[cyan notch]

is that gonna do anything during his attacks

[leaden thunder]

hammerblow + truama for max impact

[olive ember]

tbh why do I feel like they just control F'ed for vicious slice, changed the numbers, didn't even look at the variable or wte

[leaden thunder]

hammerblow/truama + skullcrusher for something less shite

[viral solstice]

its nto called vicious slice tho

[rocky cedar]

Yeah but one of those + Savage gives more affected enemies no?

[viral solstice]

thats the thing

vicious slice only appears on the tooltip

its fairly baffling

[rocky cedar]

Crab have you played around with CC sword blessings?

[olive ember]

379 roll and it only has 71% damage

fml

[rocky cedar]

What's your favourite combo?

71% damage is fine you should hit same breakpoints

[spice veldt]

0% damage is the meta

[viral solstice]

my first orange was a double impact blessing d evil claw

i used it once

its just like

u know

it just do nothin

[olive ember]

lmao

were you using it for MetaPsykerTM ?

oh actually you aren't a psyker main right

[viral solstice]

for that i just used a 47% damage devil claw with vicious slice

[olive ember]

probably got it on your vet

[viral solstice]

zealot

[olive ember]

rly? i thought you were vet

nvrm

[rocky cedar]

I'm tempted to try devastating + hammerblow with crit Zealot

Run the team temp health on Ult feat

[viral solstice]

i played vet more after i discovered duck n dive deadshot which is the most fun way to use guns in darktide

[rocky cedar]

Be a funny stagger medic man

[rocky cedar]

Yeah I gotta try this

Sounds like legitimately only fun way to play Vet

[lethal folio]

It solves his big problem of losing stamina and then getting mobbed.

[viral solstice]

doesnt if u run it with devil claw

[rocky cedar]

D'you run ghost for the duck and dive interaction?

[viral solstice]

because now ur mobbed, u got stam

but u also got ad evil claw

[lethal folio]

Ghost is just fantastic in general and goes on every gun it can.

[viral solstice]

truly

i run it with ghost sometimes but mainly not

i prefer doin it manually

because u get lazy

[lethal folio]

If it gets fixed to be refreshable it will be perfect.

[viral solstice]

if u get it free

[rocky cedar]

Yeah just very unnecessary when running unwavering

Just tank for team

[viral solstice]

unwavering just needs to be hard nerfed

[rocky cedar]

Yes

Very clearly

[gilded viper]

too bad i ran out of money

[olive ember]

meh those blessings bad anyways

[olive ember]

how was the MetaPsykerTM experience anyways

[cyan notch]

look at that one guy using 6 med stations

[wide tiger]

he certainly took a lot of damage

ogryn?

[cyan notch]

zealot

[olive ember]

🤔

atleast hes not a vet i guess

[cyan notch]

every medstation we got to i had none lmao

[olive ember]

turns out ogryns are getting their bugged maniac cleaver unfixed

[leaden thunder]

also axes

[olive ember]

that confirmed?

[leaden thunder]

catfish specified later I believe

[cyan notch]

yes

[olive ember]

fuck

now I cant laugh with FS now

[gilded viper]

damn

im surprise they turning back on that

[olive ember]

anyone got ss?

[fair kayak]

what did they change on ANtax?

[olive ember]

antax lights were apparently bugged and now it does like half damage to maniacs (ragers and mutants)

but yeah they are reverting it apparently

can they revert FS deflector revive changes pls thx\

[fair kayak]

Chubby-Guppy lol. Always 1 step forward, 2 steps back

[rocky cedar]

Thank god

That was so dumb

[olive ember]

shouldn't have built your character around exploiting a bug then

[orchid shadow]

Does Transfer Peril only work for the the Primary fire for Trauma staff?

[devout axle]

Yes

[orchid shadow]

Boooo

[devout axle]

Trauma secondary can't hit weak points.

[olive ember]

trauma runs warp flurry and then rending shockwave

[restive slate]

What's a good melee to couple with Trauma?

[orchid shadow]

I was wondering about that. According to the scoreboard mod, I'm hitting a lot of weakspots over the coarse of a map.

[devout axle]

Are you Brain Bursting a lot?

[spice veldt]

probably just your melee

[devout axle]

Brain Bursts count as headshots

[orchid shadow]

Yeah, but I don't think I brain bursted 1 32 times. 😛 And my last run I made sure to rarely melee

[olive ember]

you can basically run anything

[spice veldt]

kinetic flayer?

[heady bramble]

Best purg staff blessings?

[devout axle]

Melees for Psykers are mostly utility. Run what you like. Dueling Sword and Knife are good for mobility. Force Sword can get Deflector and is great to have on assassination missions.

Or you can use axe if you wanna be 'that guy'.

[olive ember]

exactly what you mean by that guy

[devout axle]

You know what I mean by 'that guy'. The same guy that only uses Power Sword on Veterans.

[restive slate]

Might be me but last few games were a nightmare, couldn't Trauma cause enemies kept surrounding/shooting me... don't wanna blame the level 20s dumping my psychic german butt

[fair kayak]

he must mean that chad psyker who dismantles hordes with his axe

[restive slate]

I use Atrox with Bromentum

[cyan notch]

axe is good single target

[ornate hamlet]

Is it better to repeatedly pulse your primary fire with purgatus, or do you want to spam hold secondary?

[spice veldt]

focused channelling if your casts keep getting interrupted or just melee

primary has better stagger; secondary has better soulblaze application

[restive slate]

Both, as situation demans

[devout axle]

Use primary if you need to make breathing room. Secondary for melting hordes.

[ornate hamlet]

ah good to know

[spice veldt]

trauma is one of those staffs where you need a good initial engagement to make really good use of it

I like to cast and sprint-slide into ranged shooters

hold RMB the entire time to maintain flurry stacks

[restive slate]

Without a deflector force sword, which feat should I use?

[rocky cedar]

On which row?

Well, column

You know what I mean

[restive slate]

Lvl 20

[long osprey]

I really like the catachan sword with surge staff

[spice veldt]

depends; i'm a kinetic shield stan

[leaden thunder]

that the defensive colomn

if so

if you block alot (like a lot a lot)maybe keep the peril block

otherwise shield

[cyan notch]

still take kinetic deflection

[rocky cedar]

KD still amazing for revives

[restive slate]

With deflector I use peril block no problem but trying out other weapons

[cyan notch]

you can block more melee without fs

[restive slate]

Ahhh I see the reason

[rocky cedar]

Kinetic shield seems reasonable too though

Depending on what you value more

[spice veldt]

with trauma, you don't need KD for revives

[restive slate]

Isn't KShield only defence against ranged?

[long osprey]

Yes

[leaden thunder]

nope

[devout axle]

Most of what kills you is going to be ranged.

[long osprey]

?

[leaden thunder]

works against both

[olive ember]

theres no such thing as "ranged toughness damage"

everything that says "ranged toughness damage" works on everything

and yes that includes vet's feat that gives them 75% toughness reduction

[long osprey]

Wow that’s good then

[orchid shadow]

Wat, really?

[leaden thunder]

ye

[left briar]

why do the psyker blessings suck?

[restive slate]

Cause we're not vets

[orchid shadow]

Yeek, they need to work on the wording of their blessings

[spice veldt]

power blessings are only reserved for guns i suppose

[olive ember]

its meh

shield is like 10% base and 33% at max

[feral verge]

Vets are John Darktide, and psykers are just the NPCS in his game

[olive ember]

which on damnation is like

one or two extra shots

[left briar]

not even, some good power on melee

[spice veldt]

slaughterer on force sword

[olive ember]

Antax

in general

[restive slate]

Only Kinetic Barrage is useful for quick BBs I feel

[left briar]

heard you boys like antax

[olive ember]

you run AB with the purge staff but yeah

thats about it

[spice veldt]

kinetic shield is nice if I'm not making use of kinetic deflection in the first place

[rocky cedar]

Wait I didn't know

That's hilarious

[left briar]

im already using antax on both my zealot and vet
Please dont make me use antax on psyjker

[spice veldt]

and I refuse to have my passive regen stopped when I'm blocking ragers

[olive ember]

Quicken is a meme so any build that isn't using AB (so literally just purge) will use KB

[leaden thunder]

that's part of why vet is so stupid

[rocky cedar]

And makes complete sense in retrospect

I'mma consider using that feat some time then

[azure goblet]

I keep +20% unarmored on this and reroll the crit, right?

[olive ember]

its fatshark

coding in two separate toughness dmg modifiers is immeasurably complex

[left briar]

nice psyker gun

[azure goblet]

thx

[restive slate]

Gun Psyker?!

[azure goblet]

we gonna take it for a damnation spin

[restive slate]

I have a Laspistol build just for force push fun

[rocky cedar]

Good news, you don't have to

I rarely run it on anyone and seem to do fine in Damn

[devout axle]

gib force push to staves when 😦

[leaden thunder]

use funny BM thrust acyls

and spam h1

[olive ember]

I've always used a FS so

[leaden thunder]

it's good trust me

[restive slate]

I mix it up by using Achlys Bromentum 1st Heavy spam

[left briar]

i think more of a duel sword guy on psyker

[cyan notch]

tac axes have more mobility i use it over antax

[azure goblet]

so... keep the unarmored or the crit chance?

[rocky cedar]

Reroll gun

Agrip is the garbage HH

[azure goblet]

idk we'll see, it has good dmg to flak already

[rocky cedar]

FS, Knife, and DS V are all brilliant on Psyker in my experience

[restive slate]

Is DS V the overhead heavies?

[left briar]

im not a fan of force sword even tho i know it's strong

[rocky cedar]

But obviously there are lots more viable options than those

I'm not a big fan of it either

[left briar]

yea, it's really good

[olive ember]

Dueling sword

ewwwww

why run DS when you have the knife

[left briar]

it just feels nicer to use

[restive slate]

FS is that child with hidden talent you have to "discipline" the old fashioned way to get the most out of

[rocky cedar]

But yeah honestly vast majority of the melee weapons in this game are bare minimum viable if not straight good

And Psyker is extremely flexible

[olive ember]

The only melee weapon that is questionable on psyker is devils claw

[restive slate]

I've not touched a chainsword in weeks

[olive ember]

and even that can work with meta blessings

just why would you use the devils claw over the antax

or literally any other psyker melee

[cyan notch]

maybe they like it

[olive ember]

i guess

[restive slate]

I've never used Devil's Claw haha

[olive ember]

takes a special someone to like devils claw kekw

[left briar]

devil's claw is the poop sword

[restive slate]

Devil's Claw Parry < Duelling Sword Poke

[left briar]

very few weapons i even use the special

[rocky cedar]

TBF DC is probably pretty solid horde clear compared to most

But yeah it's not great

Wouldn't argue it's even close to meta

[olive ember]

its damage falls off is the problem

[restive slate]

Even DC crit build?

[olive ember]

so you need like god blessings to make it work

[leaden thunder]

crit build is mainly for a zealot using it

[cyan notch]

savage sweep rampage can make it decent

[real sapphire]

Does Wrack and Ruin trigger off Monstrosities?

[rocky cedar]

It's alright for Zealot because of it giving you an Ult like every 5 seconds

Often quicker

But yeah don't see a heap of reason to run it on anyone else

[restive slate]

I tried a BB Soulblaze build... Not easy haha

[cyan notch]

no

[restive slate]

Shame, it should

Would make it more fun BB-ing Captain Jerry Mouse

[cyan notch]

definitely ramps up bb damage vs bosses

to almost busted

[restive slate]

Oho

Interesting

[real sapphire]

Shame indeed.

[long wharf]

you'd think it would, but it's specials and elites only

[ember hornet]

voidstrike just feels so damn good

the sounds are nice

[long osprey]

Devil claw sword pair well with surge staff

[cyan notch]

if they nerf blue flamer id probably use void

[long wharf]

the spak when you get headshots is particularly satisfying

[ember hornet]

ye

I'm running max power feats with it and man it pops some heads

[long wharf]

shame void can't get blessings like Headtaker

[ember hornet]

yeah

what's it's crit multipliers like, never even looked

[long wharf]

not great

[ember hornet]

figured

[long wharf]

in fact, none of the staves' crit multipliers are very good

[ember hornet]

damn

why is surge crit popular then

[long wharf]

surge staff because crits do extra stagger/stun

[ember hornet]

oh great

more of a thing I don't want when I play zealot 🙂

[cyan notch]

crits are good on left click

and surge has so high crit your left clicks delete a lot of things

[long wharf]

and yet it has no on-crit blessings

thanks, FartShart

[cyan notch]

itd be pretty interesting with blazing spirit since it does those mini crits in a row

suddenly target has 12 stacks

[olive ember]

simply get better at the game

and press w a bir longer than you normally would

[lethal lagoon]

Surge crits also make the unarmored damage almost not extremely horrible

[shut ether]

Voidstrike crits are pretty pathetic and they only apply more dmg on headshot.

[rocky cedar]

I tried the FS blazing surge tech and unfortunately it seems not at all worth the hassle

Cool in concept though

[shut ether]

We need out feats to work with eachother not be locked into specific choices.

Such little synergy

[spice veldt]

i'm a Battle Meditation hater, since it makes the peril-scaling feats meh and it's pure RNG

i wish we could turn off iconics

[shut ether]

I mean that's just a bad take

[spice veldt]

i mean in the context of synergy

[cyan notch]

i think theres decent feat selection besides like mind in motion and quicken that are just outclassed

[shut ether]

Rework the useless feats, don't buff them

[spice veldt]

idk, rework and buff

mind in motion is going to be useless if you rework it if the reworked version is at an equivalent level of what we currently have

[shut ether]

If it was a percentage faster quelling it might actually be worth

[cyan notch]

2x movement speel while quelling

[spice veldt]

letting you run while quelling

since dodge-sliding still has gaps against ranged enemies

if I used my trauma staff more, i'd pick the buffed mind in motion (where you can run while quelling) just so that I can be an idiot in open space

[shut ether]

I quit nicotine and I feel like my peril is at 100 slowly dropping

[rocky cedar]

Pre warp charge buff I was a fan of replacing meditation with communion and putting something else in communions place

With how things are now though that'd be too free

[spice veldt]

yeah, communion is now pretty much for AB builds
