best you can do with purg is lay it aside and grab a void or trauma πŸ˜‰

trauma is the only way to give ur team emotional damage

the psyker way

clear hamlet
#

Went into damnation with a headhunter and an antax and I somehow was not a burden

frail berry
#

what is the headhunter stat priority? Preferred model?

leaden thunder
#

damage and stopping power maxed if it has those 2 stats

#

and any of them is good except maybe the agripina

#

but imo it's mostly preference which one you pick

clear hamlet
#

I got an agripinaa as an emperor's blessing and it had good perks and blessings so I kept it

frail berry
#

nice, what blesssings should I be looking to nab from melk?

leaden thunder
#

depends on the version

#

the vraks burst likes crits

#

the semi auto one like opening salvo

#

and the agripina I think likes no respite

frail berry
#

Deadly accurate any good?

leaden thunder
#

I use it

#

but idk how actually good it is

frail berry
#

roger that, ony other IV I have today was Rampage on MK II sword, worth 2335 melkbucks?

#

oo, or IV devistrating strike on claw sword

near wyvern
# frail berry Deadly accurate any good?

Depends on the weapon but in general no. +Critical damage does not increase your total hit damage when you crit, only the additional crit damage portion.

As an example, if you deal 100 damage regularly, 150 on a crit (=> crit damage is 50). With +10% crit damage your crit will deal 155 damage and not 165 which is the one you would expect.

still hearth
#

Also isn't it on weakspot crits

#

So its also super niche

frail berry
#

Roger that ty team!

#

How about rampage on duel sword?

still hearth
#

It's the only damage boost it gets iirc

#

Shred + Rampage is probably ideal for most uses

yeah sustained fire is garbage

#

its literally the second and third shot

#

i thought it was a ramping up buff similar to blaze away

#

noooosir

leaden thunder
#

also it only adds 15% of the weapons base damage

#

so crit and weakspots still only get the crappy increase

wide tiger

I wish theyd make it so

once you get to the third shot

its just 30% damage as long as you keep firing

Well... proper use of cleave-maximized Power sword theoretically can with a proper 3-forward-step-technique you can destroy Horde in 4 swings. But you don't see average Vet doing it like ever!

I don't know why I expected anything else but

#

You can't just jump this gap here

wet jacinth
#

First time?

dense ivy
#

Even though you absolutely can make the jump mechanically it just auto ledges you as soon as you're over the gap

#

This game is such a mechanical step back from VT2

#

VT2 would only ledge you when you actually dropped over a ledge, below its height

#

And there's so many arbitrary ledges that won't actually kill you that hang over walkable areas too

rare furnace
#

Use barbell to explode

#

Always fun to work

feral verge
#

some guy got ledge hanged oof this ledge

#

i got downed trying to save him

#

this level is the worst offender

dense ivy
#

Yes

#

That's the exact one I was thinking of but can't remember the name of

#

It has so many death ledges that hang over areas that you can walk on

spice veldt
#

if that's Vigil Station Oblivium then I've wiped on the first section twice just because there's a stupid ledge as you turn left into the drop down

dense ivy
#

On a side note

#

Six warp charges let you hit some fun breakpoints with melee weapons

#

And with warp peril on coherency kill you're suboptimal but ok in melee if you use a good melee weapon

#

It's only a 6% change in damage but you can kill maniacs in one less hit with an antax and it hits some breakpoints on flak headshots for the dredge melee dudes to get brutal momentum started on the first hit with a heavy

#

You could just put vs flak on it, but this lets you swap that out for another stat essentially, so you can take vs carapace and vs maniacs for instance

feral verge
#

my trauma staff fucks hard

dense ivy
#

Also lets you hit bodies on trash mobs for a one hit if you have vs melee

feral verge
#

wish it had flak on it

dense ivy
#

Works fantastically well with brutal momentum

feral verge
#

empra has given me decent axes

#

but i dont use axes

dense ivy
#

Zealot is still objectively stronger in melee but it's like, functional if you get pressed into melee and can't use your staff

#

Does not really help force swords at all though because their base cleave is just too low and they still won't one shot without heavies

#

But six stacks does make the warp attack pretty strong I guess

spice veldt
#

force sword has 6 cleave on their heavies

dense ivy
#

in a line

#

A horizontal line

spice veldt
#

it's not a true horizontal, but the diagonal is good enough

dense ivy
#

This weapon would be so good if it didn't have such a bad attack pattern I swear to the Emperor

spice veldt
#

I prefer the light->heavy nature of this weapon because you get to the block/push cancel pretty fast

feral verge
#

force ssword needs to count kill with special as a BB

spice veldt
#

and with max slaughterer stacks, you can be balls deep into a horde with a light->heavy->push combo and be perfectly safe

#

the 2nd light is really the only egregious part of the attack combo

feral verge
#

i dislike the stab

dense ivy
#

Light 2 and 3 are both pretty bad

feral verge
#

that's the 3rd light i think

dense ivy
#

And heavy 1 is suboptimal

#

It's slow but not got enough base damage to headshot that many things

spice veldt
#

I like the 3rd light

#

basically a heavy without the massive startup for ramping up slaughterer stacks

#

esp against enemies with fast running attacks (bruisers) where any downtime means getting hit

dense ivy
#

It has no cleave though

spice veldt
#

yeah, but getting a kill is good nuff

long wharf
#

the whole warp charge design needs to change

dense ivy
#

I just, ugh

long wharf
#

we should be expending warp charges to do Cool Stuff(tm)

#

like BB

spice veldt
#

and if you use the 3rd light well, you can two-combo certain enemies with light->heavy->light

dense ivy
#

What if BB charged faster the more charges you had and charges were gained at a fixed rate

long wharf
#

that's not making warp charges a currency

dense ivy
#

Every 60 seconds you get a warp charge, each warp charge increases your charge speed by 10%

long wharf
#

right now, there's only one reason to pay attention to how many warp charges you have, and that's AB

#

every other style of play is just play as normal and you get warp charges as you go

hoary hearth

#

Tier 5 is literally either warp battery or flayer

hoary hearth
#

And I don't use bb most of the time with purge, just to kill crushers and gunners that are far away

wet jacinth
#

Overload got a buff iirc but I don't think it's enough to warrant people using it over the other 2 options

dense ivy
#

I put Ascendant Blaze as A because if you don't run Warp Battery and Inner Tranquility it's a little less than optimal

#

If you run those two it becomes S tier for sure

hollow creek
#

Many thoughts, head full of warp energy

dense ivy
#

And I put quell for toughness in S because it's free real estate, you can just generate infinite toughness for free that way

#

So it truly works no matter what weapons you use, whereas Warp Absorption is really not very good if you don't have a staff and Essence Harvest is just unreliable especially when you're backed into a corner/isolated

wet jacinth
#

Ah wait it's not overload. I was thinking wrack and ruin l. Oof

It lets you revive people

#

That's basically it, it's just giving you effectively a lot more blocking power than you do normally.

wet jacinth
dense ivy
#

Psyker has terrible base stamina and is the worst at reviving people as well as surviving on his own, so you REALLY want to keep your team alive. Deflection lets you manage that better

wet jacinth
#

Inner tranquility would be my go to if it didn't have that weird quell bug

hoary hearth
dense ivy
#

Also

#

Wtf else are you going to use on that tier anyways

hoary hearth
#

If you have forsce sword with deflector you could always rez ppl with no problem, you only needed to worry about snipers

dense ivy
#

Kinetic Shield doesn't help at all unless you're at 70% peril and mind in motion is not really gamechanging

#

I'd rather get what amounts to 6 stamina in most cases

wet jacinth
#

Mind in motion is more a Player QoL preference

dense ivy
#

And also, you can vent that peril with a force sword while dodging, while dodging resets your stamina regeneration

wet jacinth
#

Dodging stops it doesn't it?

dense ivy
#

So it's just a very powerful defensive tool for a class that is made of wet tissue paper

#

Dodging stops stamina regen, to be fair Psyker has the lowest base time before stamina regen kicks back in, but either way you can quell and dodge at the same time. A little tricky possibly though since you have to hold R by default

hollow creek
#

Just slide dodge

wet jacinth
#

That as well

dense ivy
#

It's hard to dodge right while quelling, but dodging back or to the left is fine for me and I just have quell as R still

hollow creek
#

If you want to stay at basically running speed jump and slide and you can quell / charge an attack while still moving quickly

wet jacinth
dense ivy
#

Good trick

wet jacinth
#

But yeah so far I haven't noticed anything really in darktide that Needs a sideways dodge aside from certain enemies

#

Because in vermintide (depending on your distancing especially.) Side ways dodging was the only way to avoid some attacks

#

Dodging backwards. Iirc chaos warriors overhead would still hit you

dense ivy
#

Dodging backwards in VT was bad because it would make enemies do running attacks which had better tracking and often did more damage

#

You wanted to side dodge

hollow creek
#

Mauler overhead, mutie, shotgunner, guardsman bayonet attack, dog, trapper, flamer
But alot of those are better as side slide dodges

wet jacinth
#

Right. It's muties that require a side ways dodge to avoid

dense ivy
#

Fatshark looked at that and just made all enemies do running attacks by default

#

But ALSO made them do wide sweeps

#

So side dodging doesn't even work if you time it right because enemies just hit a huge cone in front of them now

viral solstice
#

only a small number of attacks ignore dodge state

dense ivy
#

So you really can only dodge in super dense hordes that get stuck on each other

wet jacinth
viral solstice
#

most will just be ignored if u time correctly

dense ivy
#

Otherwise you need to shove or dodge back just before the attack finishes

#

Since they track you for so long in their windups

viral solstice
#

rager combo has a few undodgables in, etc

#

but 95% of melee attacks will pass str8 thru u

#

like a ghost

dense ivy
#

yeah they're undodgable to the side, but you just dodge back twice and shoot them in the face

viral solstice
#

if ur in dodge when they connect

dense ivy
#

There are no iframes from dodges btw

viral solstice
#

wrong

dense ivy
#

No

hollow creek
#

I find side dodging keeps me closer to the enemy in question while still dodging the attack, makes hitting them back easier, plus style points for spinning as you slide

viral solstice
dense ivy
#

Dodges break tracking

viral solstice
#

are we really

#

doing this again

dense ivy
#

Sometimes

wet jacinth
#

Dodging isn't iframes lol.

#

IT LITERALLY

#

CHECKS UR DODGE STATE

#

BOTH FOR RANGED AND MELEE ATTACKS

#

THERE IS A TABLE OF ATTACKS AND DODGE OUTCOMES DEPENDING ON ATTACKS AND PLAYER STATE

#

WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE OTHERWISE

??????

It's the same as in VT2

owo

#

too late you spilt the beans

dense ivy
#

You can't dodge in place against overheads

feral verge
#

the no peril effects mod fucks me up

dense ivy
#

If you had iframes you could

hollow creek
#

checking the code
Machine cultist detected

viral solstice
#

depends... on the attack............... and if its tagged... undodgeable....

dense ivy
#

Well overheads are dodgeable

hollow creek
#

Nothing is truly undodgeable

dense ivy
#

And count your player model

viral solstice
#

ok lets break this down

dense ivy
#

No iframes will save you from a mauler overhead if you don't actually avoid the attack box

leaden thunder
#

rager combos off the top of my head are "undodgeable"

viral solstice
#

this idea that dodge state does not give u state-based damage immunity vs 90% of melee attacks is completely, flat out, wrong

#

just literally not how the game works

hollow creek
viral solstice
#

its the same with ranged attacks

#

there is a dodge state

#

that state is checked

leaden thunder
viral solstice
#

that state provides unconditional immunity vs most things in the game with a few exceptions

#

this is not "breaking tracking"

wet jacinth
leaden thunder
#

hence "undodgeable"

viral solstice
#

this is nothing to do with dodge

#

and that table is a huge source of misinformation

hollow creek
#

If youre being hit during your dodge its uhh.. no longer a dodge

viral solstice
#

that table only applies if the attack is undodgeable

#

or unslidable

#

as the case may be

leaden thunder
viral solstice
#

(or sprinting which is a diff thing but we put that to one side)

#

eg if u activate the zealot 100% dr while sliding

#

u will actually see impact fx

wet jacinth
#

Was using an example

viral solstice
#

u will appear to take damage (tho u wont if at full toughness)

wet jacinth
#

But ok

viral solstice
#

this is not the same system

wet jacinth
#

Playerstates example

dense ivy
#

I've been hit while dodging all the time

wet jacinth
#

Not specific to dodging

viral solstice
wet jacinth
#

Read

viral solstice
#

idk where this breaks tracking shit came from

#

its the most pervasive misinformation

#

in this game

dense ivy
#

Because it breaks tracking wtf are you on about

#

If you sprint past an enemy they will track you until the attack lands

wet jacinth
#

Dodging being iframes doesn't fit either since there are times you still get take dmg

dense ivy
#

If you dodge near the end of the attack they stop tracking and swing for where you were not where you are

viral solstice
dense ivy
#

This is especially noticeable when enemies shoot you

viral solstice
#

this is not... why u dont take damage...

wet jacinth
#

The term iframes isn't fitting is what I'm saying

dense ivy
#

This is exactly why you don't take damage

hollow creek
viral solstice
#

they are frames

dense ivy
#

This is the same system as in VT2

viral solstice
#

that make u invulnerable

#

if u are hit during them

#

to most attacks

#

????????

dense ivy
#

Which did not have iframes

#

And this game doesn't have iframes either

#

Because you can get hit by poxwalkers during a dodge

viral solstice
dense ivy
#

If you dodge into them or don't dodge fast enough or have a weapon with bad dodges and dodge left or right their swing can still connect and damage you

viral solstice
#

if u mistime a dodge

#

yes u can get hit

sweet drift
dense ivy
#

Not a mistime

wet jacinth
#

The typical knowledge of what iframes do is essentially you're in God mode during those frames and take no damage but that isn't always the case dodges

viral solstice
#

because ur dodge state doesnt overlap their damage window

#

???

spice veldt
#

if I'm dodging while doing a BB cast, I can only dodge the running attacks of poxwalkers sideways

dense ivy
#

If you do an effective dodge but not fast enough to get out of the way of the poxwalker's model as he swings

#

You will get hit

viral solstice
dense ivy
#

Because you don't have iframes

viral solstice
#

u uh

#

understand that u can literally

#

open the lua

#

and read how the attack code works yes

#

do u know what it does

#

to know if u get hit

#

ill give u a hint

#

it checks a utility file

hollow creek
#

Cooder moment ogryn_pathetic

fierce sinew
dense ivy
#

I have noticed this with Crushers to be fair

viral solstice

called dodge

#

do u know

dense ivy
#

But they seem to be the only enemies that are coded this way

viral solstice
#

what it does

#

wrong

#

wrong

sweet drift
#

Did you know you dont have to press enter after every word

viral solstice
#

ur literally just making shit up

dense ivy
#

Because ragers groaners poxwalkers and the like behave as enemies in VT2

#

Where you don't have iframes

leaden thunder
#

ragers specifically bypass it

dense ivy
#

This is probably to SPECIFICALLY fix the bullshit with overheads in VT2

hollow creek
#

What even are ragers canonically

dense ivy
#

Because their hitboxes were much bigger than the models

hollow creek
#

Are they on some sort of drugs

sweet drift
leaden thunder
#

just angy

dense ivy
#

Leading to situations where you'd die for no reason to a chaos warrior

leaden thunder
#

dreg ones are just angy

dense ivy
#

Also this seems to be a new change

leaden thunder
#

the scab ones where probably melee specialists before they turned

dense ivy
#

Because maulers and crushers didn't used to behave like this either

viral solstice
#

so when the entire plogryn whip sweep

wet jacinth
#

Aren't they drugged?

viral solstice
#

goes thru ur models

#

and u dodge it

#

i just

#

good lord

dense ivy
#

I can't say I know what you're talking about there

#

But either way yes since the big patch it's much easier to dodge crushers

leaden thunder
#

the tentacle slap

hollow creek
#

When the plague ogryn whips his tentacle thing for like 3 attacks

dense ivy
#

In the beta they were fucking impossible to dodge

hollow creek
#

But i feel like that has a funny hitbox hes easy to dodge

fierce sinew
#

Go use the creature spawner and check

dense ivy
#

You'd dodge 15 feet back and still get staggered from the overheads

#

Or they'd just teleport to your face to smack you

fierce sinew
#

see what dodge actually does

hollow creek
#

What SUCK to dodge tho is the beast

dense ivy
#

The dogs?

#

Yeah, server issue

hollow creek
#

Well they suck too but the beast of nurgle

dense ivy
#

They're super easy to dodge if you host

hollow creek
#

Cause his vomit will slow you if it hits you even a little bit

dense ivy
#

I don't know what you mean that has to be the easiest most unthreatening boss entity ever made

leaden thunder
#

if you don't get barfed on it can't eat you

dense ivy
#

It literally can't kill you

#

It can only reduce you to 1 hp

#

I had an ogryn clutch because the BoN reduced him to 1hp, ate him, and then immediately spat him back up far away from the horde and he dashed to us and revived us all

#

As in he had already been reduced to 1hp, got barfed on again, and then ate, and the game went "oh he's at 1hp get that shit outta here"

#

Laughable design and completely incongruent with the lore

hollow creek
#

One time I had a beast of nurgle spit me out off a ledge and kill me with a fall

final note on how dodge works

#

i realised the best way to show it is this

#

u can hear the swoosh (this is the sound cue associated with a successful dodge)

#

but my character cannot move as the crate stops me

#

and yet somehow i take no damage

#

this is because dodge... is a state

#

and indeed mauler overheads can also be avoided like this

#

so please can we finally put this breaks tracking shit to bed

#

thank u

feral verge
#

you just go underhead to dodge the overhead. pretty easy

viral solstice
#

sidehead

digital loom
#

nice hack

sweet drift
#

Looks like it was put to bed 20 minutes ago bud

leaden thunder
#

they don't put you in the same state as a dodge do they?

lethal folio
#

Ghost is buff dodge which is only counted vs range.

leaden thunder
#

loregryn i see

viral solstice
#

ye ghost puts u in ranged dodge

lethal folio
#

And dodge is not iframes.

viral solstice
#

what do u mean by that

lethal folio
#

This is why we always dodge sideways

viral solstice
#

it is state-based immunity

#

that works even if u dont move

#

hence

#

standing by the crate

#

not moving

#

will stop u take damage

lethal folio
viral solstice
#

pretty sure that attack is tagged undodgeable

#

try with basically anything else

#

maulers, crushers, normal rifleman melee

olive ember
#

wat we talking about

viral solstice
#

its state-based avoidance

#

theres even a sound cue associated with the state avoiding something

#

eg

lethal folio
viral solstice
#

ok look up at what i just posted

#

now

#

step 1

#

how does dodge work

#

its a state. its state-based avoidance, primarily

#

step 2

#

does dodge have some complicating factors

#

yes

#

but it is not primarily about "breaking tracking" or avoiding hitboxes or anything like that

#

primarily its state-based avoidance

#

how the dodge state interacts with specific attacks varies but thats just fatshark life

lethal folio
#

Enemies lose their tracking but if you're still within a cone they hit you.

viral solstice
#

the primary confusion i have encountered is people thinking that dodge only works by movement

#

i just posted 3 examples of enemies using sequences of attacks

#

that dont hit me while im literally stationary

#

there are dodge catches in some moves

#

but not most

#

eg the only thing a bulwark can do while ur stationary dodging against the crate is shield slam u

#

yes?

lethal folio
#

The shield bash has ignore dodge

viral solstice
#

indeed

#

it does

#

but the rest of his attacks

#

do not hit u while stationary dodging

leaden thunder
#

if I can recall back I think I noticed the avoidance state while tanking a deamon hosts

#

100% some of those attack would have hit me if it didn't do that

fierce sinew
#

at some point there should be a pin

#

probably

leaden thunder
#

maybe in like

#

theorycrafting or gameplay help

#

or something

#

instead of pinned in here

#

we have room in our pins for random shitter builds several patches out of date

viral solstice
#

yea this is last thing im posting about this so d/w no more spam but

#

for those wondering that is how it looks with a bulwark

#

u can see the shield slam ignores it

#

but then i just phase thru his swings with a swoosh

fierce sinew
#

I'm not annoyed at you posting really, that's just an effect

#

the unfortunate cause of which is persistent myth

what is the best staff on high difficulties right now? i assume either surge for stagger and semi-hordeclear or purge for whatever its use case really is...

spice veldt
#

purg

#

infinite cleave goes a long way

hexed ibex
#

Which perk should I reroll, I know the typical logic is to go for flak/maniacs but do I want to keep unarmored on purg and pair it with critchance?

olive ember
#

πŸ€”

#

I am pretty sure you want to re roll unarmourd

#

just cuz the purge staff deals with unarmored fine by itself

#

but not too sure

olive ember
#

any staff can work on damnation

#

hell you can run no staff and it will still work

spice veldt
#

interestingly, soulblaze does more damage to flak than unarmoured

#

any staff works, but they were asking about the best staff

olive ember
#

and that staff is surge

feral verge
#

i would roll off maniac, personally

#

i brain burst them anway

olive ember
#

bruh wat

#

just burn em

spice veldt
long wharf
#

why would soulblaze do more damage to flak, logically?

hexed ibex
#

The metal is heated and burns?

long wharf
#

is flak armor somehow more conductive?

feral verge
#

its quicker to burn the rager a little bit

long wharf
#

it's warpfire/soulblaze

#

the soul is burning

feral verge
#

but then do big damage with brain burst

#

just burning it takes longer

long wharf
#

more like they copy and pasted the burn dot armor modifier table

fierce sinew
#

depending on the physical properties of the armor and how similar soulblaze is meant to behave to normal fire, maybe retains/becomes damaged by heat?

gaunt stone
#

thoughts and what perk do I roll

fierce sinew
#

I got nothing

long wharf
#

yeah it doesn't make lore-sense to me

feral verge
fierce sinew
#

flak being the highest and carapace being the lowest is an immersion headscratcher for sure

long wharf
#

I can see that for burning

fierce sinew
#

unless there's a really big in-universe difference between what those are made of that explains it

spice veldt
#

maybe crushers have a fan inside their armor

long wharf
#

but honestly, I'd think warpfire would be something that'd effectively ignore armor

fierce sinew
#

that's what I would think as well

long wharf
#

crushers in environmentally sealed power armor confirmed

spice veldt
#

any gaps we see are just cleverly painted camouflage

crushers have armour plate on their soul

That is what I had in my mind as an ideal staff so its good to know I was on the right track, is warp flurry still bugged on Purg?

long wharf
#

yes

lethal folio
#

Flak is just crappy ceramite.

feral verge
#

it appears to charge faster

long wharf
#

you know what would make soulblaze unique?

feral verge

but idk if it's actually faster

bypass armor entirely, do % based damage by stack count, apply an increasing warp damage taken debuff to enemy

In mine case that was regular encounter on stairs after shower room in Consignment Yard. Massive pack of ddreg shooters spawned few quite a few gunners far away, and i just started popping heads with BB barely seeing what i was targeting. After 6 or 7-th BB Penance (Pick'n'Mix) popped up

Probably it was 2 separate packs. Patrol + spawned in pack

And it provided enough elites for Penance. Also - yes i'm lazy and running Barrage in my regular build
