Quell speed doesn't really matter, you just have to get used to not over quelling all the way down to zero from mid or high quell. Quell a bit, attack once or twice, requell a bit, repeat, press F, repeat.

Exactly. It's important to quell from 100%. And because of how you quell in discrete amounts, it's important to get a bit more out of each tick. For reference, 80% quell speed will quell 13.28% peril and 100% quell speed will quell 16% peril. Eeking out that extra 2.72% can push you past breakpoints.
In the case of my trauma staff, that means that I can quite possibly one-shot dreg stalkers with a single quell if I were to reach 100% quell speed; I am just barely unable to do this.

What blessings should I be looking for on a purgatus staff?
steel flame
Oh man. So many options
cyan notch
i like flurry and channeling
steel flame
Pretty much only Warp flurry and nexus
Channeling gets rid of stuns so it can get you killed since you lose melee attack feedback
cyan notch
not really you still get the damage indicator unless ur really not paying attention
steel flame
I'm just letting you know it can be more of a detriment on higher difficulties than a help. Up to you with what you do with that information
spice veldt
you still get the stun anim and get slowed
it just keeps your charge as long as you RMB
cyan notch
hardly a detriment if you are aware of whats going on imo
steel flame
Well. I tend to see fire psyker has considerably less spatial awareness than most. Had a buddy using channeling that kept getting himself killed be melee trash because the attacks didn't interrupt him and give the chance to react
cyan notch
yeah thats unironically skill issue i guess
viral solstice
when i first installed the remove screen effects mod
viral solstice
it removed the "u took a hit absorbed by toughness" effect
and i got fucking battered by a poxwalker squad from behind while blasting bangers
steel flame
It might not be as terrible now that they fixed not being able to swap to melee during a charged secondary attack
spice veldt
i mean it's still a net benefit as long as you pay attention to your hp/toughness
being able to hittrade with ranged enemies without breaking your cast is extremely good
i distinctly remember the times where my cast got broken in my most recent match because that shit was so annoying getting my cast cancelled at max toughness
and then I take more damage because the shooters that I intended to kill/interrupt can now blast my ass
steel flame
Big issue before was you couldn't swap while doing the flame secondary and the stun let you break out and quick swap to melee. It still feels like that happens sometimes but not as much. More noticeable on void when charging when you try to swap to BB and you just can't
cyan notch
it helps a lot when youre trying to play aggressive less so if youre just safely flaming
spice veldt
i always just released my LMB/RMB before swapping to melee

oh ok thats good to know haha
Ive gotten every other class to 30 but psyker feels like tissue paper
steel flame
He's got battle wizard syndrome where he feels kinda bad till he gets all his feats
Quietude is his best t1 while you are leveling up since lower level staves and BB generate lots of peril
tacit flume
Are any of his unique melees worth using?
steel flame
Essence harvest becomes really good once you have flayer and communion
The sabres are pretty good. Force sword is pretty great for defense if you can get one with deflector
Let's you block bullets

that would be really nice
rocky cedar
Force sword can also stack damage boosts like crazy with feats and blessings

and then it will be good
rocky cedar
Block resets it
echo turtle
yeah but with lights you get back up so fast
wide tiger
I dont like shred because i often weave a push into my combo
rocky cedar
Pretty eh for force sword IMO
rocky cedar
I'd probably take executor over shred
echo turtle
ehh
safe crystal
Im using uncanny until i get a bloodthirsty
echo turtle
I would take unstable for executors
wide tiger
Honestly it feels like anything that gives +power > everything else
safe crystal
Bloodthirsty waiting room
echo turtle
its 5 seconds isnt it
safe crystal
wide tiger
besides maybe all or nothing cause... well
rocky cedar
I could see uncanny being good
rocky cedar
I don't think so
echo turtle
you have to hit weakspot repeatedly
rocky cedar
At least it definitely doesn't get reset on knife
wide tiger
uncanny doesnt do much of anything for your special either
echo turtle
as soon as you hit something not a weakspot it resets
rocky cedar
It's probably like a 2 second duration
echo turtle
duration i didnt test
rocky cedar
So drops off easy since force sword isn't that fast
echo turtle
but you hit a non weakspot it resets
rocky cedar
It's pretty easy to sustain with knife
echo turtle
yeah easier with a knife
safe crystal
Uncanny is 2.5s duration
echo turtle
so, each % crit on the FS averages to like 1.25% extra damage
tender onyx
run and gun. Good or bad?
rocky cedar
Uncanny is 2.5s duration
Do you know if getting a new stack resets the duration of all current stacks?
echo turtle
so if unstable is usually only giving 4-8% power
shred evens out on the 2-3rd hits ij a chain
then outperforms
wide tiger
Yeah, its just my hope theyre going to fix it
echo turtle
Do you know if getting a new stack resets the duration of all current stacks?
thats how it worksnon everythinf
wide tiger
so I'm holding onto it
safe crystal
Do you know if getting a new stack resets the duration of all current stacks?
I'll check after I get home in about 2 hours
rocky cedar
so if unstable is usually only giving 4-8% power
5-10% for max tier
wide tiger
5% per peril threshold yeah
rocky cedar
thats how it worksnon everythinf
Seems to be but you can never be sure of consistency
echo turtle

You're realistically not getting above 2 stacks except maybe right after activating special if well managed

yeah. I am gonna do shred and slaught
mossy bobcat
thanks
wide tiger
I still think if you're gonna do shred then you may as well do executor
rocky cedar
You can still theoretically get value from primary fire
wide tiger
not like headshots are hard to get on FS
rocky cedar
But definitely not worth over other options
echo turtle
Second hit on shred 3 is a 4% crit chance boost, which is as good mathematically as that 5% power
oh whats executor
wide tiger
+5% power on repeated weakspot hit
rocky cedar
near wyvern
+5% power on repeated weakspot hit
Yeah good luck getting this reliably.
echo turtle
4% crit, maths the same average bonus as 5% power
it is so much easier to get the crit chance
rocky cedar
I swear uncanny is not broken by non weak point hits but I'll have to test it specifically with force sword at some point
wide tiger
Yeah good luck getting this reliably.
In my experience it hasnt reset if i missed a headshot
wide tiger
😦
echo turtle
you hit a non weakspot
near wyvern
And you only get to 3 stacks with special and those are lost when you then start a swing
echo turtle
shred resets in broken chaun
rocky cedar
Weird that it would work different between knife and FS
rocky cedar
I did on crushers with knife in the past and it kept the rending for a time
I'll have to test again
near wyvern
echo turtle
after missing the head?
FS specials count as a bunch of hits
which is dope for blazing spirit for instance
echo turtle
you crit 1 they all crit
rocky cedar
Interesting that you can use it for blaze boosting
echo turtle
yeah I noticed I critted with a firesword and an ogryn had a ton of stacks
so, a FS special would probably max out shred righht away
echo turtle
uncanny is legit tho, I generally like it
rocky cedar
Is there a similar description for uncanny in whatever that document is you're screenshot thing?
echo turtle
Uncanny is definitely a contender
I just was finding it resetting
maybe I need to test more
rocky cedar
Yeah I'm just curious about a mechanics breakdown
Whatever doc Pygex is referring to seems pretty thorough
spice veldt
FS heavies deal 100% against flak
olive ember
I’m surprised pygex guide isn’t pinned tbh
echo turtle
same with maniac
olive ember
It’s a rly nice resource for psykers
spice veldt
FS also deals 100% against maniac
echo turtle
so, uncanny does nothing for heavies
olive ember
You think we could get someone to pin it? XD
spice veldt
the only armour type that FS heavies deals <100% against is carapace
so only maulers, crushers, and reapers (hands and feet) will get affected by uncanny strike with regards to FS heavies
the main benefit of uncanny for the FS is just the stagger really
and maybe some extra damage on the lights; particularly the 3rd light
if you look at the inspect table, the damage mods for the 3rd light are kind of all over the place
for Executor on the FS, my results conflict with pygex's results
blocking, and consequently pushing/push-attacking, resets my executor stacks
OH WAIT
rocky cedar
the main benefit of uncanny for the FS is just the stagger really
If I understand how rending affects stagger correctly you should have double the stagger at 100% rending yeah?
spice veldt
yeah
rocky cedar
But also less stagger for the first 2 stacks
spice veldt
but you lose stagger if you have less than 50% rending
rocky cedar
Yep cool I remember how that works correctly then
spice veldt
executor is so weird on the FS
rocky cedar
I guess that's part of why it feels really good on Knife
Very easy to get max stacks then you have double stagger
rocky cedar
As well as great DPS
spice veldt
yeah so the main benefit of uncanny for FS is pretty much the stagger
FS has one of the worst staggers on their normal attacks
except the 3rd light as far as I can tell
rocky cedar
Where can I find a link to the athenum by the way?
spice veldt
it's a steam guide
wide tiger
dueling saber seems to have terrible stagger on its normal attacks
rocky cedar
Ok cheers
spice veldt
i think it should be on the front page of the newest steam guides?
not too many steam guides for this game have come out
echo turtle
Uncanny adds stagger?
spice veldt
rending modifies your stagger for some reason
wide tiger
on all enemies or just flak/carapace enemies?
spice veldt
the stagger multiplier is given by 2 * rending%; I'm not sure if brittleness also affects it but I assume it does
echo turtle
ah
spice veldt
on all enemies, even if the attack doesn't do <100% damage against that armour type
wide tiger
man this game is random as shit under the hood
spice veldt
ikr
echo turtle
Lols
so, my Fs rn is just shy of oh hitting a mauler with a light charge attack
we were THIS close to greatness
spice veldt
sniping maulers is my favorite thing with the FS
echo turtle
with warp unleashed it can one hit maulers with a light and muties with a heavy tho
so thats cool
echo turtle
indeed
Having been testing it
I like the extra damage but hate the perils
I would need to lean very heavy on then FS to make it worth it
olive ember
Pmuch
The FS is the main weapon it helps out with
Next one is voidstrike and then the rest it’s not worth
spice veldt
i bump myself to high peril whenever a horde comes and there are no elites/specials to take care of
then I hope that battle meditation quells enough whenever elites/specials do come
olive ember
It buffs FS base damage tho so I guess
Technically you could start a fight with 25% more damage on your FS before you have the slaughterer stacks
spice veldt
basically like having two t3 slaughterer stacks right from the getgo
at least pre-buff, warp unleashed pushed me over the threshold for one-shotting dreg ragers with heavy-special headshots (with +maniac)
and it made one-shotting maulers with light-special bodyshots a bit more easier
agile acorn
what's the best first perk?
rocky cedar
Depends on the rest of the build
spice veldt
if you're BBing a lot, essence harvest
i dislike warp absorption since you have to DPS check enemies (successfully) to make the best use of it
rocky cedar
Yeah at low level probably the easiest way to be useful
spice veldt
I like quietude since it's a bit more general
rocky cedar
Quietude is also good
olive ember
what's the best first perk?
what staff and um
summer prairie
Not when he has no staves
olive ember
yeah
spice veldt
ah that's true
olive ember
oh hes lvl 5
rocky cedar
Quietude is still ok with just BB
agile acorn
what staff and um
hehehe
agile acorn
just trying out psyker lol
olive ember
for trauma run either 2nd or 3rd
spice veldt
oof; trauma staff is kinda poopoo at low levels
rocky cedar
Probably quietude for a low level trauma
olive ember
2nd gives you more toughness back whenever you blow alot of stuff up
quietitude gives you toughness whenever you quell peril
rocky cedar
Low level trauma isn't gonna get many kills with lower difficulty density and a bad radius and charge rate stat
Hence I think quietude would be a lot more consistent at low level
olive ember
also @agile acorn I will say that psyker is def a class that gets better the more you play it
its probably the strongest at the start cuz it gets funny weapons like the FS at lvl 2
but around lvl 15 it will feel like shit
when the fucking las gun vet just kills everything before you can kill anything
rocky cedar
I remember quietude feeling the best for a large portion of the leveling process
olive ember
Idr tbh cuz I played mostly uprising while leveling
so yeah
XD
also at the start I was using my CBT build which used essence harvest without realizing how meh it was after the nerf from CBT
ah CBT builds
safe crystal
I'm using quietitude until I hit 15 on my new psyker, then use EH and communion
rocky cedar
Quietude isn't as good as it was when I was leveling mind because it worked very well with non force melee passive quell
rocky cedar
I only got to play a little Zealot in CBT
rocky cedar
I think I started my Psyker not long after release
spice veldt
i only played psyker after they nerfed the force sword push
wet belfry

We had two wonderful shield ogryns yesterday
wet belfry
They were great spectators i will say.
olive ember
Boooo meta is fuckin lame
MetaPsykerTM is amazing
idk what you talking about
no one runs it because the elitists keep the build a secret from the rest of the community
wet belfry
Admitely we did forget to pick up the ogryns once they died.

Happy birthday
Still need better blessings tiers
wet belfry
Do you use all or nothing?
wet belfry

steel flame
Does it affect guns?
It's a blessing on axes....so no it can't affect guns
safe crystal
Yeah, i know. It does affect BB and staves, at least though
So might work for guns as well
steel flame
It's on your melee weapons. How would it affect your staff -_-
safe crystal
Well
Thats the mystery
The game works in mysterious ways
Voidstrike goes from 678 to 705 with a T3 all or nothing
Tested on reaper, that is
steel flame
That's because you can swap to your melee while the bolt is in the air
safe crystal
But i didnt switch .__.
wet belfry
This bug is anyways the only thing keeping the blessing somewhat relevant right now.
steel flame
Wouldn't be the worst of the bonus wasn't garbage
olive ember
failed a low five damnation because the team played like it was malice bleh
literally ran into a group of beserkers while there was still an entire squad of shotgunners and stalkers shooting em
safe crystal
Low damnation is full of people who jumped from malice because the plasteel changes :L
olive ember
feelsbadmoment
welp i guess I won't be able to get that mission off my damnation checklist
also yeah
safe crystal
How long is it still there? I can hop in for a run
olive ember
one vet legit got downed by a bulwark
we failed
one vet got downed by a bulwark cuz he was too busy grabbing diamantine
even tho I pinged the bulwark
and then another teammate was a psyker who somehow blew up while using the voidstrike
if that psyker is in this channel
please use transfer peril on voidstrike
@safe crystal yeah we um
failed
steel flame
I dunno why anyone would want to play low intensity damnation it's sooooooooo booooooooring
olive ember
XD
because I wanted to get it off my "missions to beat on damnation" checklist
didn't expect the damn team to wipe tho
safe crystal
I've been dragging my friends who started playing the game last week into low int damnation
olive ember
I mean if you down feel free to invite
safe crystal
Just drag their asses to cataclysm chaos wastes when they're level 20
feral crater
Chaos wastes was really fun and the mechanics are quite forgiving. Unless you get yeeted off the side of the map ofcourse 😄
forest coral
I would be so happy if we get rogue like campaign for darktide
Chaos wastes was so much fun
feral crater
will take about 5 years. Remember, darktide is a regression, not a sequel
forest coral
orchid venture
My theory is that this 2nd hive city our characters keep talking about is what our version of chaos wastes will be
olive ember
ouchies
safe crystal
I mean, it did go pretty well
olive ember
ogryn forgot he had medkit on him
safe crystal
I didnt take a screenshot, it was something something 158/146/132/59
Ogryn with the 59
safe crystal
I fell down into a corner and couldnt get out in the end
olive ember
I wish I was playing psyker rip
couldve clutched that easily
surge staff into a BB for the mutant and then i'd just peril block revive
steel flame
I didnt take a screenshot, it was something something 158/146/132/59
You do know the scoreboard is wildly inaccurate right?
safe crystal
You do know the scoreboard is wildly inaccurate right?
Yes, it inflates psykers usually because we dont need ammo. Im only using it for damage taken statistic for myself tbh, it gives me something to work on if i take 300+ damage in a game
steel flame
Clientside pain
Fair enough
I just want a vermintide 2 scoreboard in darktide
Hurry da f up Fatshark

Hurry da f up Fatshark
Good luck waiting Since they don't want to do it anyway because of toxicity
formal flume
Good ol’ toxicity
vagrant furnace
No scoreboard no toxicity = more players that what they were thinking
Nobody plays call of duty and csgo because of toxicity anyway 
steel flame
Soon™️
Next week™️
Next they'll get rid of text chat or start recording our VC. It's a slippery ass slope
formal flume
While I agree, that’s a bit much
||Besides, tencent’s already recording that info anyways.||
steel flame
The real way to make a less toxic Game is to follow Deep Rock Galactics example. Manifest a community so positive that toxicity ceases to exist
forest coral
Ff14 somehow got rid of most toxicity too, even tho def still exists in rare instance
steel flame
We got scoreboards in deeprock and it don't get our titties in a bunch, but hey, maybe dwarves are just built different
forest coral
Yeh
I miss tf2
Literally had achievements for making people rage quit after dominating them
And that was still one of the most positive community games I’ve played
young spear
i never get psykers
but when i play psyker i get 3 other psykers on my team
siblings stay together
steel flame
And that was still one of the most positive community games I’ve played
I'm not sure we played the same game xP
It went downhill after comparative was added
steel flame
Ranked ruined Freeplay too
I hate eSports worming it's way into my game. It ruins everything it touches
Why can't we just have fun anymore. Maybe I don't want it to be a competition
forest coral
Doesn’t have to be
I’d still like a darktide scoreboard at the end tho
If not to be a judgemental bitch, then gauge how well I personally did
steel flame
but when i play psyker i get 3 other psykers on my team
I love playing with other psykers.
forest coral
Or how effective a certain build avg is
steel flame
Oh I still want a scoreboard
formal flume
Or how effective a certain build avg is
That’s what I want it for the most
Especially since I’m planning a gun psyker build. Lol
olive ember
forest coral
It’s main reason I liked scoreboards in vermintide
olive ember
too bad its a dueling sword
forest coral
Can can gauge ur personal performance with meme builds
steel flame
That’s what I want it for the most
Especially since I’m planning a gun psyker b...
What kinda gun you thinkin about? Laspistol is a really good choice rn
steel flame
#hottake
forest coral
#ratio
steel flame
I don't like it either personally but I see what people think is good
olive ember
Autopistol on psyker is actually pretty good
you can make up the lack of range and anti armor with BB
formal flume
What kinda gun you thinkin about? Laspistol is a really good choice rn
Either the las pistol or the auto lasgun
steel flame
Either the las pistol or the auto lasgun
This is the build I use. It's an exceptional elite and special killer build
steel flame
Still.looking for the higher tier blessings but it still rolls through damnation without much issue
formal flume
This is the build I use. It's an exceptional elite and special killer build
Very noice
steel flame
Oof
olive ember
decap is also not good
steel flame
Very noice
The crit kill Regen on the pistol along with warp charge Regen more that make up for not having a staff
I've got a 25% crit chance on the pistol so I proc the Regen constantly
steel flame
It's really good vs mixed hordes
olive ember
ehhh
it screws over your KB tho
with warp resist you can basically KB through the entire duration
steel flame
Kb a crusher and bulwarks and you can really melt shit
formal flume
I was gonna use this as a sorta guide for my build https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909443112

never even knew this blessing existed

Run and gun?
young spear
yea
cold geode
It's p.sweet
young spear
is it?
gentle rose
depends how good the weapons hipfire is, on some weapons its trash imo, but on the purgatus its pretty nice
steel flame
I was gonna use this as a sorta guide for my build https://steamcommunity.com/sh...
I would go with Regen on warp charge rather than tranquility after the changes to passive quell
formal flume
Ye, figured this guide was outdated. Lol
steel flame
A bit yes
formal flume
Unfortunately I couldn’t really find too many things as of recent.
steel flame
I've tried recon a few times with my builds but haven't had as much luck as with laspistol, granted one is crowd clear and the other is high damage single target
olive ember
autopistol is stupid because it can deal with anything besides carapace as long as you are close
steel flame
I've reached the conclusion that trying to reach into crowd clear territory with guns on psyker leads to being ok at everything but great at nothing. So for my gun psyker I lean all into murdering elites as fast as possible. Laceration makes ogryns fold like paper and everything else gets critted and flayered to death in seconds
But I haven't played around with auto pistol yet so that view may change
olive ember
I mean idk
psyker special/elite killing power is basically their BB
the laspistol to my knowledge isn't that good against those
its only mainly good against shooters
ionic frost
I need to try autopistol...
olive ember
the autopistols are rly blessing dependant
you want a t4 pinning fire and a t3 blaze away
like both of em
steel flame
the laspistol to my knowledge isn't that good against those
Laspistol outclasses bb in special Killing by an order of magnitude
ionic frost
but antax with purg staff, 322113 has helped me clutch hard
steel flame
So I use laceration and wrack and ruin to melt down ogryns and everything around them, and kill specials on 3 shots with laspistol
ionic frost
is there a cap on wrack and ruin stacks?
steel flame
31
steel flame
Not that you will ever get that high xP
ionic frost
or # of enemies>
steel flame
Nope
steel flame
Just radius
steel flame
31 stacks of soulblaze
steel flame
But 9 is enough to kill mobs
ionic frost
does it count monstrosities>
ionic frost
31 stacks would be nice on them... =(
not cheezing any penance
still need malleus and every shot counts
and both ogryn 4's
and preacher 20min
almost got the preacher malleus while 2 ppl were dead, but the other guy did too much damage =(
i mean psycker
I feel like soloing a monstrosity for the penance would be so rewarding... =)
probably would've been easier before they nerfed non-force melee weapons =(
steel flame
I feel like soloing a monstrosity for the penance would be so rewarding... =)
It's really not. It's just annoying
ionic frost
I mean that as a happenstance thing...
Not trying to do it, it just happens.
only two people alive they're holding everything else off, and you kil lthe beast!
steel flame
That actually happens alot on damnation
ionic frost
I almost got it
but i didn't do 90% of the damage =(
didn't have the +25% dmg feat on tho
steel flame
Usually we can leave the zealot to the monster while we keep mobs off him
ionic frost
got pick n mix that same game =D
steel flame
I still don't have that one
ionic frost
I mostly pub
ionic frost
I got it clutching...all 3 others were dead =D
steel flame
Nice
ionic frost
saved the game, no medkit for assassination boss, they all scattered and died
steel flame
You might hurt your back if you pat it any harder
cold geode
They removed t3/4 blessings from the hourly shop correct? I remember the devs or someone official saying that? Or am I crazy
steel flame
Wouldn't put it past them
ionic frost
I got a T3 blessing 2 days ago from it
olive ember
They removed t3/4 blessings from the hourly shop correct? I remember the devs or...
they did but its bugged
lmao
ionic frost
only one i've seen since patch
i play 4 chars every day
it does seem like the reduced the chance tho
ionic frost
i passed up on some blessings i would've bought in the past if i knew how the system would work, not just through rumors
I did just roll this though:
@olive ember Did they state that that's a bug, or is it just supposed to be super rare>
?
olive ember
who knows
just assume its super super rare
at best
and to not expect to ever see one at worst
ionic frost
I missed out on an 80/80/80/80/52% charge rate surge staff T3 crit chance because I didn't look at the timer and when I clicked buy it wouldn't let me get it...It was blue in the armoury exchange... =(
like 2 months ago
olive ember
feelsbad
ionic frost
At least I finally got my first T4 ghost blessing...
Though I don't think I'll dissolve the pistol.
i think it could do some work on damnation
steel flame
That should be a really good pistol
It's perfect for taking down reapers since you can just stand there and headshot and nothing can touch you
Almost perfect

leaden thunder
like the difference between 0% and 80% is very small and the blast doesn't deal a lot of damage
iirc
hybrid solstice
for me a godroll VS would be like 60 warp resist, 80 everything else
river sand
nah blast radius is more the dumpstat
if got a 57% blast radius and a 80%, the epicentre is 1.27 vs 1.33
leaden thunder
^
it's marginally more important if you want to run blazing spirit on it
but that's only 4 fun anyway
summer prairie
My current one is maybe very marginally worse, doesn't seem worth. Not like there are different builds I could use it for
Melk also has this
leaden thunder
could be neat
hybrid solstice
nah blast radius is more the dumpstat
Sure but I'd run warp res as the dumpstat so i could get use out of the +crit chance at high peril blessing
austere estuary
rending IV trying to get my melk marks D:
near gale
I got that blessing from the trauma staff I called a lawn ornament >.>
leaden thunder
tfw rending shockwave doesn't actually apply rending anymore
austere estuary
it's brittleness
austere estuary
iirc they said it always was?
leaden thunder
it always was
austere estuary
yeah
near gale
for how long?
near gale
Is it the same as the other one at 3s?
leaden thunder
very nice support
leaden thunder
it only increases the truama's damage vs infested
which is funny
but it's very nice support
austere estuary
rending on trauma works vs carapace too, just that it only affects your primary so
really more about letting team rip em up even with weps that wouldn't normally
leaden thunder
fair enough, I forget about the primary fires alot tbh
near gale
Doesn't the trauma staff do a decent amount of damage to Crushers, as well? at full blast damage
austere estuary
it does yes
near gale
in the epicenter
austere estuary
but the blast itself doesn't care about armor in the first place
near gale
Last time I looked it was like ~800
austere estuary
so it doesn't itself benefit from the rend
near gale
Yeah, I know it's a team buff
austere estuary
but yeah
trauma damage is good again with the buff to 25% at high peril and warp charges etc
feels more like when I was running executor on FS when those crossed over before patch
thank goodness
near gale
I've been finding the chainsword to be pretty fun, on Psyker and Zealot
The heavies are pretty quick too
leaden thunder
I still need to get a good one on my zelot
near gale
I wonder... would brittleness help the chainsword's rip damage?
leaden thunder
it should yes
near gale
vs crushers specifically
leaden thunder
I can shoot one with my rending bolter(actually brittleness) and test how much it changes
near gale
I've steered clear of cleave blessings on the chainsword/eviscerator, ever since I learned how it interacts with the rev attack
leaden thunder
you still should probably have 1
leaden thunder
I think only dstrike will really fuck it up vs the targets that matter
near gale
I've had some pretty bad luck <.<
In fact... I have pretty bad luck quite often... I am just used to it.
lethal folio
It would feel better if the rev charge wasn't used if it didn't bite anything.
trail jackal
Is it worth investing into melee + fire psyker on damnation or am I better off just spamming with trauma
near gale
Purgatus melts stuff, if used right
leaden thunder
Fire good
echo turtle
Melk also has this
Worth it for the blessing alone. near perfect damage stats and a great perk
I would not sleep on that
solemn ibex
can someone post a godrolled void staff? please
rich rose
Fire good<:thumbsup_ogryn:1063452727302180926>
I need to work up a new purg staff and setup feats. But I need a good staff, first
river sand
not godrolled but best i got
solemn ibex
thank you
river sand
i really had a blast with the surge one, if you animation cancel (not machingunning uncharged) as long as you chain 10 or less full charges. it take the same time for both staffs. so flurry outshines if you chain more than 10 full charges
near gale
not godrolled but best i got
Personally... I wouldn't know which to choose between.
leaden thunder
I wonder... would brittleness help the chainsword's rip damage?
I tested this is my rend 3 bolter shooting 3 times(which should be max stacks of it)
and it does
but not very much
against a crusher at least
wide tiger
i really had a blast with the surge one, if you animation cancel (not machingunn...
Is animation cancelling a bug? i feel almost guilty using it
leaden thunder
no rending it does like 101-65-65-214
wide tiger
at least it fixes that stupid delay between charging though 😛
lethal folio
Animation cancelling is an accepted clever use of game mechanics.
leaden thunder
^
lethal folio
If an animation cancel gets too silly it sometimes gets addressed.
river sand
Is animation cancelling a bug? i feel almost guilty using it
id say no, was a thing in vt2 already
wide tiger
yeah in this case it increases dps, especially on primary fire by a large margin
leaden thunder
in 90% of games at least
you can do it with a couple of weapons
laspistol and the non purge staves to name a few
wide tiger
increases my fire rate by almost 100%
leaden thunder
rapid fire laspistol must be crazy now
sonic coral
Does Decimator (chaining more than 2 attacks gives +x Power) have to be attacks chained against a single target?
I replaced the other blessing because it was a crappy T1 but wondering if I'll have to swap headtaker to brutal momentum
rich rose
How are you taking screen shots? I still havent figured that out
