#psyker-class
1 messages ยท Page 407 of 1
I tested in psyka im not sure if it'll take less charged hit or not
with 20%
at least, against rager
not sure about mutie
with warp unleashed, warp charges, and +maniac, you should be able to two-shot mutants with light-special bodyshots
was trauma buffed in recent times?
Trauma fucks
I'll keep it then
or is it still an exercise in masochism
Trauma is so good
100% keep maniacs
peril gen was basically cut in half
im not sure y people hated on trauma at first xD
because
it was like
because you could only cast two times from 0%
trauma has fucked me up I can confirm
half the size
like conflagration staff for sienna
twice as expensive
it was USELESS
conflag still sucks
but yeah, trauma is awesome now at least
i'm a quietude user so I liked the pre-buff trauma staff
imo, yes
I want fatshark to make a boltstaff for darktide
i would say trauma is better at its niche - dense mixed packs close-mid range - than voidstrike
voidstrike is kinda like bolt staff
it is 100% definitely not a better overall damage staff
with the shotgun thing on beam staff
trauma has a better panic option
and you can moses yourself through a horde
i mean
trauma quick secondary has great knockdown
it is and it isnt
lets just say that voidstrike does a lot of stuff
moderately well
for a melee playstyle, trauma is better
melee psyker 
voidstrike one shots dogs, hard ccs bursters, will cancel crushers, maulers, open bulwarks etc
at any range
what's everyone general outlook on surge staff nowadays?
i agree
surge is, unironically, a terrible weapon and the higher the difficulty the worse it is
the limited target count and terrible cleave damage of the surge staff makes me dislike it
it has worse cc than a single light attack from a crusher
surge requires your team to know what to do damage on
Mine is that it's boring and outmoded by other staffs
it is indeed boring
it was considered the best staff before all this but ig people didnt really do Damnation too much be4
surge is literally borderline unplayable in pug games
Surge is awful against hordes and dregs yes -__-
The other staffs CC and (get this) actually kill shit
I like it when I want to turn off my brain completely
almost everything surge can cc other than mutants can also be cced by voidstrike
btw

also
7 Views. Watch im just fish and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.

did they change sth with surge's CC stun tho? I wonder
no warp flurry, start voidstrike charge as it jumps, 100% cancels burster leap ignoring stagger immunity
why would you ever want a trauma
trauma is 100% better vs mixed hordes
mixed hordes and shooters
I much prefer it against the voidstrike for shooters

because of the stagger
u can just shoot them tho
just click heads
the outer radius will interrupt shooters if sufficiently charged

which means that I can run into open space like an idiot
point is

it's why you see me promoting focused channeling instead of rending shockwave
Trauma staff can be used cleverly too
You can kill and stagger enemies out of sight with it
do you really need a locked midrange option as psyker?
Behind cover, up stairs
not to mention it does overlap with purgatus
and, in generla, will do less damage than a well used voidstrike over the course of a game
i have not ever seen a trauma user hit higher than 60% of my damage
ever
trauma is certainly more close-ranged
most of my damage comes from my force sword
most of my damage comes from being very cool


Mine comes from suicide
do u actually get damage for ur suicides
I run a max suicide build
I basically never kill enemies in hab dreyko unless they're ranged
do u guys like warp resistance on FS?
its not great
It's the dumpstat
warp resistance is my dump stat; but I also have a melee playstyle
just run triple curios with +1 wounds
because force sword is safe to activate at 99%
they should let u run away from peril suicide
if you're using it as a one-off weapon, then you might be willing to give up mobility
if u have 9 stam on curios
that makes it so you can explode 3 more times inbetween medistations
u just sprint away
yeah I wish I got lower warp resistance on this

oh mobility is sprint speed
i will say that dodge distance is less important than ppl think
for various reasons
but it probs has some effect on movement tech i havent checked
what if im just a speed freak?

i had full sprint efficiency and stam regen on all my zealots curios
were they useful no
but i did it
no memes i had to leave more games than i would admit because i would get stuck in the level geometry after a slide
that used to happen to me NON STOP
then something changed
like a few weeks ago
and im cured
idk what it was
is it really worth running Warp Unleashed with 80% warp resistance FS I wonder...I gain like 10% peril every activation it's impossible to build warp unleashed stacks xD
nothing changed
i just politely ask my teammates to bait enemies to me or blow myself up
i left 3 games yesterday because of that
@dire smelt just alt-F4 and reconnect =)
i stack 3x blockeff/sprinteff/stam regen on all of my curios
so that I can run around like an idiot and be safe
but yes, they need to fix where slide can get you stuck
i mean
both those resists are awful
i just got a 17% with a decent secondary, double upgraded it
and hadron fuked me

For the first time yesterday I saw a psyker with more HP than me
abandon all hope
whats urs and his
I have 260. He had 261. Max is 267
cool
63% more HP is NOTHING to scoff at
oh yeah people have the numeric ui now right
i need to swap to full stam curios asap
so ppl can see 150/100
thats the gamer move
i think i have like 250 something
The stamina build
if I didn't get dinked by snipers so much, I would run toughness instead of hp
one shotgun blast ur down to 50hp

i mean i havent died or taken significant damage from shotgunners in
idk 2 months?
they are legit the enemy i least fear
the enemy i fear
is fucking MUTANTS
who do NOT SEEM TO GIVE A FUK
RN
about WALLS

I hate muties too
dude i had one earlier where
I'm afraid of shotgunners when they're far away, but I feel pretty safe when they're close
i havent died to shotgunners ever either
They've ruined a lot of runs and clutch moments for me
and then the wall
was only waist high
so the mutants wall detection didn't activate
and it did a 180
while still running
and grabbed me in my dodge recovery

Yup
i legit took 4 follicles of damage
why did they even make mutants keep on tracking you after dodging around corners
meh muties atleast won't instantly kill you
i mean
The best is when mutants just yeet you off the map...
i get why mutants work the way they do
mutants have to deal with corners
otherwise they would be kinda too exploitable
the issue is that their wall detection and corner detection
is really unintuitive
whenever im going to get grabbed i just dont
they can still have their tight turning radius without the whole "not breaking tracking when dodging around corners" thing
Watch MIND BULLETS and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
this is the ideal way to handle a poxhound btw
please study this documentary
and take notes

Getting pounced or grabbed or trapped is really just a mindset issue that you can overcome

u see how i did literally nothing, the dog committed suicide, and i was credited the kill
just do that
can transfer peril proc on multiple targets from the same projectile?
yes
ok so bis
its incredibly good ya
really feels like voidstrike has it all tbh
the brittle on trauma could be interesting
if not for the fact the range upper band is terrible
People sleep on void
i mean the issue with voidstrike is quite straightforward
There are some people here who call it bad and I'm like
its like - and i say this with a straight face - literally quite well balanced
Are you even playing the same game
ye i like it a lot
in a damnation run
and u still got brainburst

and you have an ogryn that is running around with a shotgun
and the veteran with the autopistol
what if u get surge nexus on ur trauma
the first room you enter full of ranged dudes
and run around doing surge left clicks
and im thinking about it harder than i should

what is surge nexus anyway? 
ehhhhhhhhh, if you enter at the same time, trauma is still going to be competitive with those two
surge blessing - double shot on crit - warp nexus - more crit with higher peril
on trauma it only procs on left clicks
and trauma is going to be as effective at any distance within its range
yea
its kind of a meme but its a meme i really want
ever since i saw it
because i want to shoot more than one blob
on trauma that is
nvm
on voidstrike its both
and yes ive been fishing for it

page after page
of fishing
i need to roll a good trauma
wasnt there a perk that had double hit on fully charged trauma?
so i can calibrate my expectations
or am i misremembering?
nope
you are thinking of surge but turns out it only works on lmb
this is my special sauce staff

surge does work on rmb for voidstrike
worthless on trauma

but either way its not that good
ye but charged voidstrike does not need surge to be good on its own
the crit chance on both staves by default is 5%
even with warp nexus you have like a 15% chance to crit
warp nexus should be a feat tbh
they need to fix the thresholds
d/w i submitted it with code to the cm who passed on my shit last time
its actually interesting
but in that case wouldnt quell speed be the dump stat?
oh
ive got like 50 of them

and have only ever got 1 t4 blessing
which is warp flurry
but i got it 4x
How much plasteel do you have lol
I'm trying to hoard plasteel
Waiting for crafting to get better
Ik prolly won't happen
But my shit is good enough and I don't feel like wasting mats
on whatever character im enjoying
quickplay
u get so much plasteel now
relative to how it used to be
im just like

i get to make a terrible decision every mission
hell yea
talking of: doing torrent
2 suicides so far
bought time to pee
Those are real gamer strats
Don't tell the team to wait a sec while you piss
Go blow yourself up to buy piss time
why isnt friendy fire in the game? 
at least it would teach players not to get in the line of fire of teammates
Ogryn would become the worst class lol
They'd soak up and cause the most friendly fire
they already are the worst teammates rn
qp is literally unplayable without a piercing weapon
Idk I've seen many awful vets
My fav variant of awful player is the kind that rushes ahead, gets downed while alone, dies and then leaves
Within 5-10 mins of the game starting
the more recent development is the hero that tries to save them and die right after
is this just my impression or does brunts give you less good weapons since the low cap is at 300. havent seen a 370+ for at least 1.5 million ordos
tf are you doing
I have like 2k diamantine
and no plasteel
It seems that way to me too
idk i have a jillion diamantine on everybody
i have been only playing damnation since week 1 tho
and like 6-800 per mission now
feels liek so much when it used to be 200 lol

nowe are gaming

more mk4 dueling meme rewards from the emprah
curio chance is a WEAK attempt
are you even trying?

no i need more +3 stam curios
thats my only one
need curio stat
pls do NOT talk about high level meta gear (sedition+) until ur regularly clearing sedition with an organised group
thank u
ok somebody wanted a brain burst only run so i gotta get on that

damn brain burst is op i should use that move
I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Acolytes, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Atoma, and I have over 300 confirmed sedition runs. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top BrainBurster in the entire Inquisition. You are nothing to me but just another target.
fk first i pissed of the navy seal and now this, im fuked

is BB better than melee vs the shielded bosses?
i guess it depends on melee weapon but for the likes of dueling letter opener bb seems to do more?
u mean ass targets?
yo is this the place to ask for an assist on Malleus Monstronum or is there another place for that
if u get lucky u might find some frondly assistants tho i think vox lexicanum is the place ur meant to go
but ive never tried
Hard to tell, I will put a reminder for myself to frame it since there is no way to tell the damage numbers
short answer is melee is better
does 3x damage to void shield
unless bb is doing something very weird
In general if you have a good melee it should be better DPS than BB tho
Only exception is probably crushers
I starting to really hate CUMo-vets. Those little **nts! You know you have them in team when shooting starts and only your face is catching bullets despite being in cover ๐
We need 'in-game report button. Like for karking sabotage and griefing
my lunch



they should let u block with ur brainburst hands
and if u press it perfectly in time
u can catch unblockables like the overheads
das factual
can anybody think of any ranged weapon blessings that affect ur melee weapon rn

other than expansive for kickback
The crowd goes wild like Daigo vs Justin evo 2004
Trauma staff enjoyers, this any good?
Obviously gonna replace Blazing Spirit but what about the perks?
Is Unarmoured useless for breakpoints?
Unarmoured lets you break dreg bruisers.
blazing spirit is chad to keep to be fair
tfw u blow everybody up
but also set them on fire
It's nearly the best burny trauma you can get.
btw can u think of any ranged weapon blessings that affect ur melee weap rn other than expansive
Isn't +3 stacks of soul blaze just useless?
Other than debuffs no.
Like soulblaze is good when it's actually stacked but +3 is just useless I feel
yeah that soulblaze caps at 6
I also recall there being a trauma staff special blessing right?
so on voidstrike
its ok because the projectile and the explosion apply it
u can get 6
which is better than nothing
but for trauma its just nice colours

Ehh I guess I buy it and tinker with it in the future
yeee
Crab gets a cut of the melk bucks you spend don't listen to him
I wish I knew how to ahk, toggling that shit is annoying af
Spamming uncharged trauma might kinda work but I'm yet to get a funny fire trauma to play around with
I think you're definitely gonna want crit chance perk as well to have any hope of it coming into play much
Can't imagine it being more effective than full charge spam with warp flurry but eh maybe you can get a decent AB loop going on high int
I've really got to give void a decent try some time. Only staff I've spent basically no time with.
I'm still on my crafting spree for laspistol. At some point I'll start on void or trauma staff
I got a nice laspistol yesterday
Laspistol and knife makes me feel very cool
Spent an entire mission on full health with that combo right till the point where I got combod into the ground by 3 snipers
Like 2 minutes from the end
I wish there was a shared inventory for common weapons
Personally I prefer toughness on crit kill which triggers all the freakin time to really smooth out the toughness regen
Infernus makes my brain happy but I found most of the time the crits are what kill so infernus doesn't trigger 3/4 of the time xP
Gun oriented psyker when
What build you run?
This is what I run most of the time. Constant Regen from Flayer and crit kills. Wrack and ruin let's me melt mixed waves with ogryns. KB so I can get like 12 stacks of SB when there are multiple elites
Let me hop on the game and I'll tell you
they should make ur gun shoot brains and ur brain shoot guns
Ikr
Mind bullets
Best part of gun psyker is there really isn't any reason to not pick wrack and ruin. Gives much needed wave clear for mixed hordes. Not like your using that peril for anything else
To deafen myself for immersion with demon voices
Lol
Also laceration is low key disgusting on gun psyker
That shit let's you pop ogryns like they are paper mache
I'm gonna slap on reassuringly accurate
@steel flame im gonna try cerebral with reassuringly accurate since I prefer communion with essence harvest
Imagine using purg
And not a gun
ive not used it before and i can confirm... it is not very exciting
u go pshhhhhh with ur hand and then u put like not very much damage on the goobers in front of u
and ur like dam imagine if this was a flamer
its not, of course
but just
imagine
Then youโd be like psshhhh with your water gun except fire and goobers in front of u become steaks
pshhhhh
mebbe i do a purg build but with VOIDSTRIKE
revolutionise the gmae
and use fire sword too
I really wish this was a real build
Please fatshark make it good
i mean my normal build is
use voidstrike
and have warp unleashed
so really im not losin anythin
advantage of not reading ur class tooltips

Hah, imagine thinking I can read
I used to use warp unleashed, but now I'm a wrack fan.
HA YOUR PLAN HINGED ON ME BEING ABLE TO READ!
A FOOLISH MISCALCULATION!!!!
Simply incomprehensible
@steel flame I tried without communion, didn't generate enough charges
Did you forget I use BB and wrack
I did use them
At least with reassuringly accurate I'm useless still but at least I don't die 
One of the reasons I also use 3 relics with toughness Regen speed perks is to get that warp charge Regen as fast as possible and alongside ally Regen I find it enough to keep me at full toughness
I only have two atm
Yeah....only downside of the laspistol. If it's not getting headshots it ain't killin
i love the way that the purgatus flashbangs u
incredibly useful
that u get to bring ur own self-cc

Wrack is fun.
great weapon 10/10 no comments
I'm gonna make a bis purg just to delete it
Wrack explosion also applies a ministun which is cool.

These takes are
wow
tbh
is damnation rly that bad?
idk

Red fire better than blue fire boss, no
the first take is how after patch damnation pugs are suddenly rly bad and then like the 2nd take I saw as about how all difficulties should have the same reward so they can screw around in lower diffs
Damnation still has people dropping medkits on stations.
Well after patch
I literally had pugs who would run up to stunned poxbursters to hit them with melee
Itโs toned down a bit butโฆ yeh
yeah its fucked in damnation rn check out this footage of a psyker i got in my game earlier
disgraceful behaviour look at this
the guy is playing hardest difficulty in the game, throwing, and then is mad that people aren't particularly happy that he's doing dumb shit in damnation lmao
are you even playing psyker
i mean
u can tell THAT GAMER
(criminal)
is a criminal

Crab lmao
fuck u medkit
i want to explode
ok im going fireball build
its got it all
wrack and ruin
kinetic flayer
fire ball
fire sword
jort
everything
Does kinetic flayer trigger with wrack

@near wyvern have you seen this testing?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11omkyu/i_tested_the_critical_hit_chance_on_the_surge/
90 votes and 24 comments so far on Reddit
you might be into somethin
Yes it does
Jk
I wish
Flayer can trigger wrack and ruin but flayer will never get triggered by soulblaze damage
i just took a quick look at this, and stopped reading once the text mentioned making the minimum amount of crit chance to be about 25% with no peril... (tbh i did not pay attention enough to figure out whether the text referred to a blessing or the weapon itself with the changes, but i dont think paying attention to such matters is a good idea due to a risk of losing all sanity and common sense)
20% from crit bonus and 5% from perk
and 69% from jort

ok i should have taken ascendant blaze
i don have enuff fire
I feel like I haven't burned anything on psyker yet
I think I have preconceptions about soulblaze being bad from reading/hearing about psyker
After some testing it does feel like the crit rate is much lower than expected when you have flurry+nexus on surge
I do think itโs dumb just how much more damnation pays than heresy. It makes it so thereโs no point in playing heresy especially when itโs not all that big a jump
I mean at the end of the day I think its going to have to be something where damnation has to be worth doing more than heresy
otherwise why would you run damnation over heresy
It should pay more, but right now it pays so much that you get close to the same when losing in damn as winning in heresy
idk
cuz we had what was the opposite pre patch
where technically yeah damnation paid more than heresy and heresy more than malice etc.
but it wasn't actually worth running
because no emp gifts
๐ค
The emp gift differential is crazy
โHereโs your shitty blueโ vs โhere is an actual usable top tier weaponโ
Idk its a bit weird but even with emp gift
Idk i've just been getting a bunch of trash 450 golds (thats like a 320 base) on damnation
Yeah but you can get t3/t4 traits for free
ive gotten a few t4s
And absurd mat counts that make it cheap to roll for more
I suppose so but you also need the right combination, in that sense spamming malice for decent base stat greens would be more efficient than praying for good stats + good blessings in damnation
While on heresy you just get middle finger ๐
tho i am fine with heresy rewards getting tweaked
they should give more for heresy but they should give more for playing with idiots tbh its fucked up ppl have to play with me and dont get more shit

fatshark fix it
why spam malice when u can do damnation and get money to buy from brunts
Itโd be fun if they gave everyone ELO and the game gave rewards to support the handicapable
why spam damnation when u can do sedition and get respect u can use to level up ur gang rating
๐ง
opinions about headtaker + thrust axe tech with purgatus
enlighten me on the tech
cheating
also @leaden thunder did you see the crit revelations (unconfirmed) from reddit
soulblaze stack headtaker
and thrust increases burn damage

double power boost
I wouldn't use it with Purgatus, just use more fire. I use it to boost ascendant blaze.
I do something similar on vet with frag storm
btw I forgot did they mention what would be in the big patch LateMarchTM
You can also full charge thrust and then block cancel. The thrust bonus doesn't go away and your AB stacks get the power bonus until you melee/switch.
cheating (again)
thurs
or if you have only 4 stacks
Stickerbooks
I mean half of me is still convinced that the armor strip from zealot's F is a bug
theyll nerf flamer and be like 5% damage reduction
thrust is 20% x 3
all this effort to just do what pinning fire blaze away autopistol does while doing more damage and suppressing everything smh
Wait what?
this game has been out for months
why do people still believe in the "charge into an open room full of gunners without your team" strategy aaaaa
in other news this is day ten of trying to get a single run and gun for my purg staff
i am going insane
I'm pretty used to people dying before first medicae station.
hence why I play less.
tbh this is me often recently because damnation is full with folks with less damna experience and are hellbent to clear every single room 3x instead of advancing ๐ข
idk ive seen some REAL IDIOTS in my games but the worst one seems to have hacked me and controls my monitor idk what to do

i respect it, normally
look at this GOON
user error
lmao
but when people walk into a giant room, stand in the open, and get shredded by literally six gunners and four reapers like
please
What a fucking loser this random stranger on your team! @viral solstice
exactly!!!!
well if u fly in and die that doesnt really do anything
now ur team cant res you and they have to clear everything out with less people
Any suggestions on blessings change?
It mostly happens when you think the team is behind you but they went off for plasteel at the last moment
I do yolo rooms full of those blobs of shooters all hanging out together and it works fine but if theyโre spread nah
oh yeah actually
I duo a lot with a zealot friend
and probably yolo more than I should be when soloing bc I'm used to charge into things knowing that my friend's also doing that
when solo always yolo
alright im done
ten minutes into a damnation solo
two people join
the director spawns dogs on top of them as they're spawning in lmao
Yes. Sample size is way too small in that test. I have done my testing only on purgatus and it was a bit inconclusive other than for the fact that most of the stacks are definitely gained at 90+ peril.
not wrong
While his testing was lacking i did loved the idea that Warp Flurry might be not just broken Blessing that barely work and if work it's very wonky - that it also harmful to use ๐
Fatshark spaghetti code 101
I don't know about his other tests but with t4 nexus+flurry surge the crit rate was consistently much lower than expected when chaining. I wasn't meticulous but at the very least I'm leaning on it being more likely than not that the bugged flurry is causing other issues
With my testing I did:
- T4 nexus void, 99 peril, 163 hits => 26.4% crits => as expected
- T3 nexus purgatus, 99peril, 145 hits => 26.2% crits => 5% higher than expected
- T3 nexus purgatus, 90 peril, 215 hits => 13.9% crits => matches 2 stacks + 5% base crit
- T3 nexus purgatus, 0 peril,
201 hits => 5.5% crits => matches 5% base crit
So there was an outlier (test 2). Don't know if that's my mistake or if there is something funny going on, but it seems base crit is around 5% and the last 2 stacks are definitely gained above 90.
void doesn't suffer from the bug anyway if you are just chaining normally
surge always does when you chain
Yeah I wouldn't blame nexus at this point on surge before flurry is fixed if they are both present. If there is a staff with only nexus, then one can blame nexus if that is not behaving nicely.
He was blaming flurry
For a reason
The implementation for it on surge and purge is a hot pile of ๐ถ ๐ฉ
i did a crit
Good job!
added this data point
just had a game with 3 camo expert vets ..... master-race of stupidity ...
@viral solstice must have a great gaming chair since they are critting
I freaking hate camo expert, makes me want to go gun psyker so I can defend myself and vets can then deal with the mixed horde.
a lot of ppl dont realise how similar getting a crit and making a billion dollars from ur ipo are
they stand everywhere, shooting stuff, zero awareness, getting killed by single poxwalkers and i really had some struggle cause im the only one getting aggro ...
Who in the right mind implemented that. It should be just like "gives enemies X% chance to miss their volley and avoid the supression". Why there is a feat to pour more ๐ฉ on other players in the team, without asking.
It's not something I can opt out. No, I don't want the extra ranged fire on me with 100 toughness thank you.
to ensure the perfect VT2 elf experience
You also need to ability to that class to call party "Lumberfoots" to ensure 100% genuine wood elf experience

Camo Expert needs to be changed. Playing with 2 or 3 veterans with this on in Damnation and Damnation hi is absolute pain. Everything is going after you and if there is a range squad they will obliterate the first non vet they see. This is a feat that on a player, severely affects the experience and difficulty of the game for player without the...


fireball build one of the builds of all time
i can confirm
i dont think it blows u up enough to be viable tho
so back to drawing board
It would be nice if they changed Camo Expert to "while standing still, enemies are less likely to target you, but you also take now damage from your teams non-melee attacks"
Payback time bitch
who unironically takes camo expert tho
thats sus behaviour
some might even say
suspicioso

a bunch of people sadly
what tier is it on i honestly cant remember
although i havent seen too many recently
Sign me up
I like hiding then watching as the entire horde pivots on the camo vet
same one as the big broken 75% damage reduction
What if camo didn't reduce aggro but instead reduced enemy accuracy when targeting you
By alot
That's my opinion as well. Just make it so that standing still makes enemies miss their ranged attacks (like while dodging) X% of the time and also avoid the supression when that happens.
It's quite unhealthy to make something one player can pick that will affect the amount of enemies other players have to fight without giving them an opt out
It would have the same effect without being a detriment to the rest of the team
the chance would have to be very high when competing against 75% toughness dmg reduction
well that shit needs to be nerfed anyway
yes
Other option is to make it 100% but last for X seconds on the activation of volley fire
So you can pop out Infront of 2 reapers, 4 gunners and a sniper and say hello if you really need to
Give psyker a new feat over quicken. Ult Makes all enemies lose aggro for x amount of time based on warp charges. Call it Warp Mirage. Make vets eat their own medicine
Poor zealots and Ogryns will get all the mobs instead
Don't lie. You know that's what they get wet dreams about
Make veterans with camo expert to form teams only with other camo expert veterans for a week, that should teach them
you guys are thinking about this the wrong way. the simple solution is to let us BB vets.
I did propose friendly fire already xD
Ouch
balls
Starting to BB a lone trash mob for stacks. Veteran with the bolter goes to blast it's brains out. Guess who will be used to replenish my stacks now.
The easiest solution to camo vets is grabbing all the melee mobs, not killing any of them, and pulling them where the vets are standing
Error. Cannot find target.
Alternatively, find a ammo box, put next to barrel on a bridge, blow it up as the vets swarm on it
And this. This is how sedition starts and I'm here for it

Is there any easy way to do Pick n'Mix?
No. You can still "Gain" stacks when at max. It just refreshes the timer.

I find it to be the most consistent toughness regen talent.
@muted egret levelling or fresh 30?
That's BIS for the most part. I'd reroll carapace to Max Carapace or Unyielding and upgrade Terrifying barrage when you get it
Which staff are you using?
which one is worth upgrading?
Don't upgrade anything till 30 personally
one on the right I'd say. Wait you got that at level 10?!
Oh different person 
DDoes ranged critical strike chance affect enemies that are already burning or does it only matter the first time they get damaged by my flame cloud?
It is the chance to apply 2 stacks any time you would be applying one.
^
Does nothing after stacks are applied
So should I switch the perk for flak damage or smt?
eh, it's fine as is
Flak is not needed because flak takes 2X damage from soulblaze
Im just dont want to be deadweight to my team... which is why im asking about low level tips, reccomendations and builds.
@muted egret
For levelling you want to go the gun psyker build all the way up to around 20-25. The staves get noticeably better and scale past the guns when the stats are good and when going to higher difficulties. Everything works without any trouble at Malice and lower.
Feat wise I recommend to go:
- Essence Harvest
- Wrack and Ruin
- Psykinetic's Aura
- Kinetic Deflection or Kinetic Shield + Stamina curio
- Kinetic Flayer
Pair that with any gun other than the revolver and you are good to go.
Melee weapon wise you want to try different things, especially dagger and combat axe mk V when you get the Kinetic Deflection so you can push attack spam with them. Duelling sword is also a really solid option.
Stay away from Force Sword unless it has Slaugherer on it. Deflection is an overrated feat and it's training wheels which can be hard to let go, Force Sword has unlimited dodges so stop cosplaying a Jedi and start killing stuff.
Brain Burst, or BB as we call it, is your main roughness regen source. You only need LOS when acquiring the target, you can finish the cast while hiding. Don't get too attached to how it gibs everything at low levels in one shot.
You can always safely cast a BB when you are at 97% or less peril, so don't over quell when you need to cast many back to back. Your ult ability takes you out of the explosion animation, so when you have hour ult, you can safely cast that extra BB and ult to save you from exploding and get 1 BB for free.
I wouldn't worry about it man. If you really want to help your team you need to get good at not taking damage and covering them when they are going to.
I wonder if Unlimited Dodges on FS is also unintended
Doesn't it have a very short dodge distance to compensate?
Just learn to stick with your team and do your role as a psyker and also stay alive, you should be fine.
Thnx
When you quell with BB, you can safely start casting as soon as you see numbers dropping from 100, even if it briefly shows 98 when you start
one tic of BB quelling actually takes you to 91.67 instantly
Unless it was passive quelling of course
wrong, if ur good enough u can suicide no matter what ur peril says
im not saying this is a skill issue but u might want to work on ur death mechanics

An advanced tech is to let the LMB go briefly and then resume BBing from 100
is blazing spirit any good on trauma?
no
blazing spirit sounds cool in theory but seems like dogshit chance of proc
it's funni tho

plus if it does proc they're dead anyway so what the hell does the burn apply to?
๐ณ
maybe a boss? possibly? once?
im seeing alot more trauma staffs lately did they get a buff?
a few updates ago yea
for one the peril is now not so absolutely shit that the secondary is unusable

that + people realiing it wasn't that shit anyway
well tbh its not good that its the first staff you getr
id say its not easy for starting players
voidstrike should probably be the first one tbh
since it's just the primary fire but better as the sepecial
also has fs said anything about us not being able to bb target through fences and such things?
yeah it be best for first staff
IT'S DA BOIS
they said they improved it (they lied)
I thought that got fixed


plasma can clear the next room of elites before you even walk through the door but NO you cannot BB through a wire railing you absolute maniac
just use purgatus 
i do
my main staff
what blessings are good on purgatus? I'm trying to build one
plasma may be able to do that but idk if i'd want to be compared to it
atm i use this
warp nexus and focused channeling
yeah focused channeling def
flurry if it works/when it gets fixed
they gonna announce it works as intended

focused channeling keeps from being interrupted yea? makes sense
I wonder if I should sac my infernus iv laspistol to rebless my vet's pistol..
sell or keep going?

Tell me about it. I just upgraded a bunch of antaxes to try and find brutal momentum but not a single one rolled it 
Great system obese dolphin
which is more important on purgatus, warp flurry or warp nexus?
I keep fucking rolling run n gun...
I have a tier 3 flurry but only a tier 2 nexus
nexus is more important since idk if flurry actually works at the moment
ah alright
Necroing this, but it applies to the entire blast radius not just the epicentre. So when it does proc it's a fairly sizeable area that gets blazed. But without a reliable way of getting crits it's one of those blessings you want to replace ASAP.
that makes sense, thanks for the additional detail
That reminds me, does the Force Sword 100% crit chance on special kill allow for a guaranteed ranged crit?
unfortunately no
Dangit
that would be too much fun
though it's not just the next attack on the force sword
That would've at least been SOME synergy
it's the next 5 seconds
I've never used purgatus seriously before, here is the feat list I'm looking to try (everything burn-related)
you want 6 charges instead of the other one
6 charges makes your ascendandt blaze 1 shot shooters on any difficulty
Oh snap, yea that would be nice
Good tip
And in theory it should be fairly straightforward to hang around 6 charges with the additional padding from burning crowds
Kind of hate not having the amped up BB but I'll see how it treats me
just got t4 slaughterer on a force sword i upgraded to gold
wooooooo
how horrible is this
what does noob psyker take for feats
eh everything can work
For a noob psyker, deflector is a must
it's so horrible that you should give up your account to me so that I may properly dispose of it
hmmmmmm
shame about the perks but the stat rolls looks decent
alright just did a go with essence harvest / purgatus for toughness
slap bloodthirsty on it once you get it and I will then be mad jealous
thats the plan
I feel like quell might be more reliable on purg
i upgraded it thinking it was one of the shittier force swords ive got
anyone who runs purg regularly care to weigh in?
and then i randomly happened upon t4 slaughterer
the FS special applies all the stacks of uncanny strike
hmmm
unfortunately, uncanny strike doesn't benefit the special because It seems to have at least 100% damage against every armour type
not that I've rigorously tested it
shame
Special is 200% on flak and 100% on everything else.
It's still nice to have some rending to finish off maniacs that have just a little too much health, or swing through mixed hordes.
this dude was saving grenades for darktide 2 and magdumped hounds with boltguns
It's multiplicative
in the end he chocked and walked backwards and fell off a ledge 
did he choke on a grenade?
he choked on a mutie's NUTS
ah, that happens
so if I had two 20% Gunner resistance curios, I'd take 64% (0.8 * 0.8) damage from them instead of 60%?
Yes
That doesn't make each extra one weaker, it makes them equally effective.
that... doesn't look right
raw damage - resistance = net damage
resistance is raw damage * damage resistance
or
Is re-bless brroken for all primary weapons
raw * (1 - resistance%)
rebless works, but blessings are only shared between weapons of the same weapon family
which is the same equation in actuality
For example, blessings from recon lasguns can not be transferred over to infantry lasguns; and blessings between different staffs (Purg, surge, trauma, void) also are not shared
What stats really matter for the void staff
everythin other than quell speel blast radius
so max those 3 then pick ur luxury
from last 2
So damage is key over blast then?
yup; since the blast radius doesn't have very good scaling except on the outer radius (which does meh damage) and the epicentre has a cleave limit anyways
