Well yes and no but that would be in line with crucian roulette. We should just get more cirt chance per stack to compensate than what we now have.
And given how you can also pump peril up and down where as Crucian Roulette you have to reload the whole gun
I just want to be able to run a Nexus/Surge Voidstaff for fun but you need transfer peril
Do I have to remind again that this baby uses around 4 to 5% peril per shot here and stacks quite well with nexus.
https://youtu.be/kaF6_PMLkgY
I have a macro to quell cancel and cast as fast secondary cast as possible. Even with that, the feat combination is just a bit underwhelming due to the 6 stack hidden limitation of Blazing Spirit. At least you can bump it up with AB.
Yeah but I don't plan on using macros.
The whole point of combining nexus and warp Unleashed is to get great benefits but put yourself to constant danger in casd you mess up
They should just make it like warp unleashed
or just peril/4
at max blessing tier
crucian nets you so many more crits than warp nexus
I just feel like it's redundant when if you just charge your staff things die to headshot anyway
Pointless to have a chance at applying a weak amount of soulblaze
I guess I just prefer sending out penetrating shots 🤷♂️
Yes but I'm talking about Pyrex's example
WHRE MY BLOB
even with his macro you can put a delay on RMB long enough that you pierce a single enemy
But yeah, you can also just charge as per usual for hordes
I really like his macro to replace lmb tho
I'm sure but I just don't prefer to use the voidstaff in that way. I like shooting an absolute laser :)
Hello! I work on the combat team, and can hopefully answer this, or at least shine some lights on it. When we (as in the combat team) set up weapons we usually go by the models of them. Bigger or heavier looking ranged weapons tend to get tweaked towards the low RoF/high damage spectrum, while smaller and ligher looking ones go the other way. ...
Im so ready:
they balance based on how the weapon looks so lets hope any new weapons we get look like they do damage
why are we talking about guns on psyker tho?
because its 80% of our arsenal
Woe is us
Sadly
and? most of our feats want peril or void attacks or something.
I hope the next force staff has a buncha spikes and shit on it
I'll have great blessings if I ever decide to roll a Zealot/Vet haha
Only a few of our feats actually require force weaponry
I think 2
Gun psykers can still use brainburst, and should
cool. but all psykers have brain burst
and?
so why gun? it generates in larger chunks
Wat
brainburst* generates
All psykers also have trigger fingers
appologies. brain faster than fingers
whats wrong with being a psychic swordsman with a revolver
because it feels like shitty Veteran
veteran cant set ppl on fire with their mind
the fuck is the point of picking the magical space wizard
without my magical space staff?
You can't be unimpressed by visualizing that

but u still have magic sword, magic brain explosion, blue fire, and psychic suicide
psychic suicide most important feature
that i like to maximise
admittedly if a revovler could simply be held in the offhand like Saltz's Rapier+Pistol weapon?
Having your entire peril bank be dedicated to just brainburst is actually an argument for gun psyker, not against. When you have a staff and BB you have 2 peril drains fighting for the same pool
I'd count that as a very good thing
gun psyker gets to utilize BB more
Nothing like a little mortality to mix it up a bit hehehe
Gets or has to, there is a difference
revolver + kinetic flayer gives me dopamine
what more is there to say
You also get to wrack and ruin barrage on gunker that i quite enjoy
melt the hordes around bulwarks
Should have psyker aimed bullets
The elusive 25 Unarmored 25 flak
More annoyed by the lack of T4 blessings
Yeah true. Although that Void is going to be great once you get T4 Transfer on it
Probably already is great
Which one, they are all the same
The 379
Mine isn'
Mine isn't perfect but it's perfect for me:
My baby
Plus the crits make a CHONKY sound into hordes and can allow me to oneshot gunners
yeah i love that sound
My flurry voidstrike needs to be replaced, i still havent found t4 warp flurry for voidstrike
How does the Surge one perform? I've been wanting to try that
They perform equally, surge a bit better because of animation cancelling
lmb on crits is strong
Ah sure
I think with a t4 transfer and t4 flurry and proper perks the flurry staff would perform slightly better
I just don't really care for the rapid-fire. It can be helpfull but I don't want to do it all the time
those are mine, the surge one got shitty perk but who cares
i like that flurry one a lot
flurry performs better on high intensity, surge better on lower
well the more enemies you can hit with 1 shot the better flurry gets
the more thick hordes, the better, yeah
and on low intensity maps, well when there are no enemies left when flurry is stacked or your peril is at 100% then surge shines
Def jelly. I can't finds any staffs in my Milk shop
I mean, in a really thick horde a double full charge is suuuper satisfying
You probaby brute-forced these though
havent got anything from melk, buy greys and up em
Yeah but I don't want to have to quit my job 
I've gotten things from melk
pretty sure i got the tier 4 nexus one from melk
and i got my purg from melk
Transfer Peril IV eludes me after 250 hours
Are you pleased, Varlet?
I also dont have transfer peril IV
or warp flurry IV, but thats cause voidstrike has a bigger bless pool
I feel like infested is a bit of an OOF on the void
working on trauma right now. still not sure with the second blessing
ive gotten most of my really good items from melk tbh
when i roll myself its mostly garbage
i wouldnt call it an oof
everything melk sells, is like 330-350 base rating
oof would be sprint efficiency
like i said ive made about 25 legendary force swords and over 100 blue force swords and all i've got to show for it is t4 shred
Surely it struggles with Dreg gunners though
The non-specialists?
thats not been my experience
afaik we refer those as shooters
unarmored flak is best for void
infested is the next best thing to unarmored
Yeah but void doesn't need help with hordes
for flurry, unarmoured + flak, for surge crit + flak
Still great staff 
i would rate the 10% for elite higher than infested
but better than infested ^^
i'd prefer unarmored but alas
im inclined to agree, although sometimes i like infested/unarmoured on melee horde clear weapons
I bet that destroys bulwarks but I guess you can just BB those
Anything to help you deal with shooters
i read somewhere on here that infested was important for trauma
dogs and a few trash mobs, what else is infested
you either need infested or 4 stacks to 1 shot poxwalkers
poxburster dies in 1 shot with explosives anyway
I can see it being useful for one reason: You kill the group of infested instead of knocking them around everywhere 
the horde mobs (poxwalkers) are infested and take less dmg from explosions. And its super annyoing not to be able to oneshot them
Trauma was my first staff, then I swapped to Purg due to meta. Then I settled on Void because void is love. Void is life.
I think i'd still rather have flak or unarmored on there for shooters, but its all preference
the better your dmg roll is the fewer stacks you need to oneshot em, so you dont need infested
feel like this is the type of thing a zealot might like https://prnt.sc/mdIYFRQzJHFy
top of the list from milkman
i've got a 79 dmg roll so as long i have 2 stacks i can oneshot. therefore no infested needed
I wont use autoguns on principle, not rolling in the 40k universe to shoot a regular gun
me with knives
not gonna use some lame dumb ass puny knife when i could use a thammer, or force sword, or drippy dueling sword
Are there regular guns used by the militarum, even?
I think all "normal" guns are called stub guns?
Any decent breakpoints on FS? mutants etc?
also for those who were debating hand-cannon on reevolver
on testing

let's just say don't
tbh i figured that without testing, but I am glad of the confirmation
I mean just run whatever you want for fun on revolver, cause it's all bad
small amounts of rending feels like a really pitiful bonus, especially on something as unreliable as crits
hand cannon should be 25/50/75/100 instagib on crit
a crit headshot damage increase of just under 1%
on a rager

for 40% rending on crit
525-530
and precisely nothing on other armour classes other than carapace
the issue is that crits already have bonus effect on armour
so its giving u extra pen in the situation where u need it least
just make a blessing that makes the revolver kill everything in one shot BUT there is also a 1/5 chance you explode
I still need out with a bang 
best bet is to go to the 'vox channels lfg' here
if you want it done as painlessly as possible
need a coordinated team over coms
a shield ogryn or two
and DONT have kinetic flayer equipped
because it can rob you of the penance
Why is that a bug?
ooo
and kill an enemy with a brain burst
i got robbed the first time
and had to wait another 40 mins in the level to get another oppurtunity
I never run it. I don't like BBing poxwalkers 
What gun has the highest DPS. I am thinking of synergizing it with the 5 second brain burst debuff.
idk what has the highest DPS for certain
but ik the shredder autopistol is good
telopots just uploaded a video on a gunker build using it
The moment I swapped to ascendant blaze with this thing, everything clicked into place.
I forgot to add that your F is great at pushing dogs off of people (you probably knew that), and that the autopistol builds impact when braced, letting you do stuff like stagger dogs out of the air or push back bursters.
Hopefully you have as much fun with t...
Yeah I was thinking recon lasgun or shredder. With Force sword. My main concern is regenerating toughness. Maybe quietude?
Yeah it's funny with KL CL and WR
Recon is considered bad by many players
You hold LMB and mutants just die
Well duh. Ammo economy sucks on it.
In telopots video he uses essence harvest
Because you lack a staff to quickly generate peril for quietitude/quickly lower peril
My shredder build is EH, WR, CL, KD, KF, AB
I think that's what telopots is using
I'll die on the recon is good hill
I like recon it's a fun gun, but I have only used it on my vet
Recon feeeels like it has autotarget
you can make it sorta work
but it's like
significantly worse
then other options
Vet can juice enough crit to make recon infernus work

What is the downside of recon, is it just dps and bad vs Cara (like most stuff anyways)
it does so little damage and takes so much ammo lol

unless it's like a slow fire rate weapon that 1 shots things
at least the VIIa has some punch through
so you dont face palm as hard when people magdump into a horde
I mean I always thought the point of it was needing to shot alot to kill stuff since it basically no recoil
recoil is like a non issue for most guns imo
unless it's like the mk5 ripper
and you are spam firing the primary
the autogun that fires faster when you downsight on it has pretty bad recoil if you dont cycle fire
that the fastest firing one?
the graia i think
ah
I haven't tested the gria like ever
wowee
disgraceful
i hate it
Recon VId is the fastest sprinter available.
can you get stripped down on it?
You can, and it is one of the few rifles with strong base speed mods.
New meta ignore enemies rush objectives and loot
0 kill run lets go
best of all, great ammo economy
Never notice, love using the vld to fast suppress stalker cause fuck them
I shot near them like twice with my agri and the get supressed
sprint effiency/+1 stam stripped down and.... ????
Wish psyker have brace weapons 😦
Speed loader
I am fairly sure the agri inf can do it as well
no im never gonna shoot no need for reload speed
I should try autogun on psyker more
Only try the pe shooter one
agri inf is good, both vraks HH are good(execpt vs maniac but you have brain burst for that)
True teamplay
Yeah the maniac thing can hurt vs flamers
i like the burst on gunker cause it gives me 3x the chance for flayer

Oh the recon II? 😛
I was gonna fix it
but i'll leave it as burts
the semi vraks took like 4-5 shots to the dome for a trapper
u can see me there desperately trying to get them to notice that they could be using mobility
to indicate that lighter variants are light

imagine...
NOPE
If it looks small it shoots fast and reloads quick
just like the revolver!
Thats why i want them to put lots of spikey shit on the next psyker staff
then its melee damage will be amazing
So what class can best leverage the pinning fire/blaze away shredder? I would contest its psyker since all that power stacking can set you up for a pretty nice AB
I want to argue that psykinetics wrath should be what defines psykers, but for you guys it sounds like BB? What do you think?
Staff lovers and non psykers probably think it's staves (and bb).
I actually like brain burst. I just wish it was more interesting.
I think its brainburst only because that's what generates our warp charges and has more interactions with our feats
If psykinetics wrath had more interaction with our feat tree with the exception of the final tier id change my mind
Staves are the most noticable for sure, they make us stand out by a mile.
It's worth taking in a bigger perspective too, what defines veterans, zealots, and ogryns? Is it the class skills? Probably not the grenades though. Our grenade is bb. Lol
I know our grenade is BB but all of our class functions around it, thats the only reason why
I ask because every few weeks or so, there's a debate about gun psykers and synergy or whatever, right?
I guess, gun psyker is functional
yep
kinetic flayer + cerebral + wrack and ruin works with guns
essence harvest is pretty low toughness regen in comparison to like... every other toughness regen feat, but oh well
This isn't about guns, it's about what defines psykers, because I think that's where all this confusion comes from.
BB is solidly in first place
o its pretty spoicy
Staves make us unique
i think i prefer crucian/salvo but that is pretty sweet
Didn't you show that the other day? It's pretty sweet!
You have to keep showing your items until you get the stroking you crave aight
dont worry, I get it
Wait yeah, you said you forgot that you even upgraded that one, and that you forgot you had it. Right?
yeah because i made like 5 on vet
been filling out my blessings
got t4 crucian and t4 os now
oh yeah there was some guy
who was convinced u cant kill shooters with a VII
i still need crucian 4

idk just terminal vet brain
that would be soo op lol
I guess. Most psykers are putting out pretty pathetic damage compared to other classes when i pub 5's though
Yeah you might, you also might play with really shitty vets or zealots
Vets are monsters
I mean it's pretty consistent and I pub damnation all day
I can top damage with my voidstrike too, but on average you see most psykers doing pretty garbo
Also when i play with a really good zealot or vet i dont top them with void, or if i do its because im trash clearing
but the elite kills and the shit that really matters is def going to the vets
I also have really good gear
easier in a hi5 to top damage than a lo5
BB spammer psyker who fires his staff like once a minute.
lol wtf is melk doing now
my ogryn gets nothing but oranges almost all of them having a t4 blessing. my psyker gets 1 shit tier axe orange and the rest purple
i got all the penence unlocks. but melk still gives me shit :c
at least im getting paid this week
Checking Melk's shop is your penance
also i found a psychic dog
who battled hte voidstrike pounce one shot
with levitation

Watch PSYKIK DOG BATTLES VOIDSTRIKE ANNIHILATION WITH LEVITATION and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
It's a daily disappointment
I was considering leveling multiple Psykers but I also need to keep my job
gun psyker versus purgatus pub
Guns are OP, doesnt matter what class uses them, imo
although vets just make it better
Purgatus doesn't get a lot damage since it takes a while to ramp up and people kill them, but it's a lot of cc
tbh i think that voidstrike is way better than voidstrike, every time i see 2 voidstrike psykers one voidstrike strikes more void than the other voidstrike
bowling ball farming
voidstrike vs voidstrike is a 10:0 matchup
Yes but sometimes you gotta make this safe area for your team or you will be dead
are all monstrosities unyielding?
except assassination bosses, yeah
Yes but they have varying extra resistances for some things
oh what are they?
flak i think
Well those are not monstrosities
hek
Correct
they count for the contracts
shield is void shield (u cant see it on ur tables) and flak when shield down
they count as them for contract
But the shield is not counted as flak I think
void shield has its own damage tables
Classic obese megalodon
so vore slug and uh oh stinky are both unyielding but not assassination bosses
void shield like super immune to ranged damage?
Daemonhost, plogryn and slug are unyielding yes
Slug is also extra vulnerable for explosive damage
trauma blow up slug?
would be be worth dropping 5% crit perk for unyielding damage? on purg staff
Not super immune, I think the boss takes bonus melee damage when the shield is down tho
What weapon?
purg staff
I just never use ranged on the shield... it feels like it does nothing
ive noticed i very consistantly do most boss damage by just hosing the boss down with fire non stop
purg is decent but not high boss dps
remember when we talked about super mobile recon rifle
emperor heard me
thanks for the gift emperor now i can reroll sprint efficiency and run forever!
Hit and run is so bad 
You do you, but I wouldn't spec for the bosses with purg.
Its on theme
When ghost is legit right there
fair fair
I get to use special activation to hit them, and then run
unless recon special is flashlight, in which case i blind them with my highbeams as i driveby
It flashlight
beamers
All laser gun expect pistol is flashlight
Gotta flash that Daemon
all stam curios with sprint efficiency and recon lasgun with max mobility and stripped down, zoooom
sprint efficiency should make u faster
Faster than knife?
like 1% se should be idk 0.2% speed
so if u full stack it
u get a lil edge
and then block efficiency should make u cooler
20% block efficiency = 1% coolness

1% extra peril quell ty
i do the reverse
hit 100 peril with staff
quickswap sword press specioal
insta die
its kind of an advanced frame cancel
Just fush-ro-dah and you'll be fine
a lotta ppl dont know it
Where is the fush-ro-dah mod anyway? We need one.

Another bugged Psyker specific blessing
https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/exorcist-does-not-trigger-on-force-sword-special-attacks/76818
Issue Description: The blessing Exorcist states “Quell X% Peril on Repeated Weak Spot Hit”. The Force Sword special is clearly a move that performs 3 hits on the enemy as there are 3 damage numbers that can be seen. Yet, it does not trigger the blessing, where as it should trigger this blessing 2 times because there are 3 hits in quick successi...
Is a brain burst more an actual pop in your head or is it like imploding
I need to know because I'm currently surrounded by brain dead customers and am trying to kill them with my mind
It's more like a burst.


You first find a suitable Box
And you WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT. THROW THAT BOX AT THEIR SKULL
Damage varies depending how built you are in comparison to a Ogryn
My passive brainburst build for gun psyker, then psyker mental breakdown mode with the level 10, 15, and 30 talents if there's monstrocities.
I'm still leveling up my psyker, is a full flame build with purgatus staff viable?
What? No KB strictly boosts BB. Not that having BB as our main defining feature is a problem.
purga might be the best staff in the game, so flame is very viable
but
by 'fu;ll flame build'
if you're talking about wrack and ruin and kinetic overload
those are not the best
especially kinetic overload
Which one is kinetic overload?
Getting a warp charge when at max warp charges will set someone on fire. Hopefully the zealot.
Not heresy.
Oooh right
What about the last one, which gives a 10% chance to get warp charge when an enemy is killed by warp flames?
It sounds pretty decent
With like the 6 warp charge one and the peril resistance with warp charges one
It's the best one, though I use kinetic barrage for flexibility
yeah that's my purga build
this is that build
i only play damnation and have alot of success with it
Neat! Psyker is a lot of fun so far
hello does anyone know if +damage(%) (for example +25% vs flak) apply to the burn damage of the purg staff? or only application damage
ye it applies to dots u have active while u hold it
thank you
i reccomend unarmored dmg for purga
I run flak + infested
because for some reason purga already does bonus damage to flak, in game
unarmored damage seems fine without it the zombies not dying to the flames is my main gameplay concern
i run crit + unarmored
do you know flak damage coeffecient on it? I remember seeing it being 1.5 vs unarmored and 1.25 vs infested
*coefficient
the damage of the staff is mostly irrelevant
most of it comes from soulblaze dots
Perks affect soulblaze damage
might be pygex's guide
I know
it's in the pins here
does crit feel worth it? I feel like you already receive so much crit from blessing
I have not tried with crit so unsure
so better for boss DPS
purga crits alot
I wish we had better blessings for all the staffs
especially with warp nexus iv and 5% crit rate perk
my reg damnation games avg around 730 crits
Armour type Armour modifier
Unarmoured 1.5
Infested 1.25
Flak 2.0
Maniac 1.0
Unyielding 1.5
Carapace 0.1
More blessings
high intensity damnation i got 900 crits
this "Infested - 1.25" is actually the bane of my existence with purg staff
2.0 flak is crazy though might need to change flak damage off my staff seeing how the value is already so high
go with crit rate or unarmored
I have one I run with 25% unarmored and 25% infested and I prefer it over crit chance
that might solve your beef with infested
Let's me clear trash faster so I can force sword everything else
psyker build I run I use kinetic barrage (30 fast bursts)+ psykinetic aura(cooldown) so I can handle +/- every enemy
but getting swamped by zombies is painful
is 21% the highest?
Ya
Personally the perks that add stacks of soul blaze are kind of a noob trap, even 2 or 3 stacks of soulblaze doesnt do a lot of damage because it has increased returns per stack
I dont remember the perks off hand but I regen armor on brain burst, have peril resistance per stack, have 6 stacks, have extra cooldown on elite kill, and my level 30 makes my brainburst cost less and charge faster
Am I just bad at video games or is the force sword kinda crap?
Good single target, not great crowd control
Guess I'm supposed to CC with the staff but that shits gotta charge you know?
what staff are you using
The pierce sniper one
Best way to get fully charged mid-fight is to slide dodge IMO
Stand still so they dont try to follow you, slide dodge, let loose lucario ball
actually, multiple testing has shown that for nearly all fsword blessings, the special is a single hit
maybe it's counting as multiple crits? I don't know
but every on-hit blessing I've tested on the fsword only sees one hit/proc on special use
been a few patches since I tested
the blessing icon mod should make testing even more conclusive
Ah yeah that's pretty good actually.
It's pretty amazing if you get deflect on it. Only thing that can block bullets afaik.
Also using the special attack with it can kill a lot of things in one hit which is handy
That sounds amazing. Deflect is a blessing?
Yep. It's sweet
I basically only use my force sword to block bullets and kill tough things that get too close
- Executor does get stacks form special
- The bug report I linked was Acknowledged and not labelled as 'not a bug'
It's just that you cannot continue any chains from the special
makes sense, anyways
So like for executor you can't get to full stacks
Kinetic Flayer also counts as a stack if it happens during special or while you are chaining attacks
Haven't tested that with Exorcist tho
But in any case exorcist not working on special is officially labelled as an acknowledged bug
is Surge a good blesing for a Trauma staff?
not at the moment
remember when "fsword Deflector not blocking shots when reviving teammate" was acknowledged as a bug... for a day?
surge only affects the lmb projectile on trauma
not the charged aoe
so it's shit on trauma
BIS (best in slot) blessings for trauma are warp flurry and rending shockwave
We live by what is the current information and not what it could be
Some say it's not always correct so it cannot be held at credible. An additional data point sure but not for the only proof.
Pygex, a reliable tester, and he's humble!
it seems "sticky" sometimes and buffs remain, but I don't know if that's the mod or fatshark
I only use AB for purgatus, otherwise i find warp charge generation too slow
find barrage keeping my charges + allowing me fast charge generation nice
I kinda like flurry/nexus on trauma
I like to crit more than i like to help my team
Does that make me a bad person?
Dont answer that i already know the answer
what's the base crit rate of purga?
focused is ok as well
wish trauma had precog
excuse me
but focused makes the trauma shitty rating, i want all my staves 540+ ^^
yeah bad idea actually. then it'd be op
gl with that
woe is my 486 trauma staff with focused channeling 😔
hahahahha
hey everyone look at this guy
look at this dude with a sub 500 staff!!!
lmfaoo lmaooo mad embarrassing loool
- brought you by over 500 staff gaming
what mod is that damage calc within game? I dont see it over on nexus...
go into your inventory and hit inspect
[V] inspect, then [Tab] for attack breakdowns
tucked away in a little corner
they hide it so it doesnt hurt the brains of vet players
oh wtf, I didnt know that was in there
(((they))) dont want you to know
I like how they dont list the damage charged force sword does because reasons
Also looking at my purg staff melee attack is weird, vs unarmored it's 11 dmg, and this is a staff with +25% unarmored but vs unyeilding it does 45 for some reason...
Lots of weapons do more vs unyielding...
They have more HP too...
Bleed does more to them too.
Too bad the assassination boss shield no longer bleeds. =D
they dont list it so you can find out its Hidden Potential™
the damage table doesn't account for perks btw
it lists out the base damage that the weapon does purely based on its stats
unarmored 11, infested 34, flak 23, unyeilding 45, carapace 0 (?!?) maniac 23....it just seems random
a lot of attention was dedicated to the staff special apparently
@robust relic And the amount of times you would actually want to use the staff special as it is...ZERO!
think of all the animations
the fine tuned damage numbers
the stagger values!
the staff special rules
gotta proc that warp flurry
i think i hit a 200 crit by stacking a bunch of buffs before they fixed it
the staff special is an easy way to proc warp flurry without needing to gain peril
clearly meta staff tech
so dumb they removed that smh
rip my fun

can the trauma staff even transfer peril? I suppose on a LMB?
yep
essence harvest vs quietude
quietitude is more consistent 9/10 times, essence harvest is rly good on purge builds since you generate alot of charges
fair thanks
you may also be able ot use essence on the fake purge set up for void/trauma
but how good that is in general idk
lot of procs with harv and purg, but then again there are times when you just got hit by something and want some toughness back and quietude would work wonders
essence harvest and quietitude are about similar for gun psyker builds, because then your only source of peril gain is from BB,
i like quietude for poking at ranged enemies with trauma
so 15% peril every BB, or 30% every BB kill
more or less
technically less for essence harvest since it doesn't stack, only refreshes
so if you are killing targets with BB faster than 5 seconds you are refreshing the buff but not actually gaining the full 30%
the only one im not a huge fan of is the one on "warp kills" (soulblaze doesnt count, sad) because i usually dont need toughness back when im getting massive amount of staff kills
i personally don't use it but apparently its good on voidstrike, purge, and trauma
dunno tho never used it myself
I like the consistent regeneration of on Warp Stacks combined with Communion
On quell almost seems redundant since if I'm quelling I'm normally pretty safe outside of the emergency 
is gun psyker a thing or is that just gimping your squad?
guns are good
most squads would rathr have a staff psyker but idk if i'd say it gimps them if you are good
usually it's just gimping your squad, unless you got a well put together build and skill/game knowledge
The moment I swapped to ascendant blaze with this thing, everything clicked into place.
I forgot to add that your F is great at pushing dogs off of people (you probably knew that), and that the autopistol builds impact when braced, letting you do stuff like stagger dogs out of the air or push back bursters.
Hopefully you have as much fun with t...
telopots uploaded this today
who is that

the only real way psyker can do good dps vs boss
especially since the gun gets damage boost
wait what mod is he useing that gives all those buff timers
thats my biggest complaint in the game atm is the lack of buff indicators/timers for the weapon blessings
I think it's called Show all buffs
i might as well learn how to mod the game my self since that will mean my QoL improvement desires get implemented far faster than the trickle of updates we have gotten since release
zealot judge says 'i am your doom'
played through winter assault a few moons back and I absolutely love how balls to the walls the VA is in that game
Much scenery got tooth marks in the Dow1 series
He took kinetic shield
already complete trash build
disregarded
kinetic deflection is bad?
its easily the best perk in the column
kinetic shield is the middle lvl20 feat
i think kinetic shield is fine
oh myb
He's using
deflection (peril block), shield (10% to 33% reduced toughness dmg based on peril), mind in motion
he's using specifically with pinning fire
I usually run deflection if I'm going gunpsyker with the duelling sword
I always run kinetic shield cuz I hate ranged enemies more than I hate melee enemies
if hes using auto pistol you should be using pinning fire
I also have trauma staff to act as my panic button for melee situations
autopistol most important perk is pinning fire and second perk is blaze away
i'd probably just play less aggressively with guns though
I throw on KS if I'm running a staff, too good to pass up on a voidstrike
no warp battery?
or is he going gunpsyker?
ah gotcha
wrack and ruin is questionable tho tbh
i think wrack is fine
i mean it is but
ab is there for a reason
compared to the peril resist you get
the power buffs of the pistol
with flayer and ab you can get charges
with warp battery and just go nuts, get a bunch of stacks and shoot everything
apply to the dot
I don't think it needs warp battery
but i'd have to check the number
for it to 1 shot everything
that's how I'd run it cause I'm a stinky lil laspistol user
since it should insta max pinning fire
kinetic flayer is used as well since it helps maintain stacks
need all the extra dmg I can get
mind in motion chads rise up
this build is very very specifically using the auto pistol
shoot an elite flayer procs u get wrack and ruin stuff around elite is burned
just from an observation
meh I'll run it and give it a spin
basically using pinning fire and blaze away you don't need warp battery to 1 shot the same stuff
I think
I think crab was using something similar
yeah the warp charge gen is a bit of a problem but
and if crab is using it
thats what kinetic flayer is for tbh
it at least must be a funny meme
hey so what are considered the best perks specifically for force sword? tried searching but couldn't find anything.
I mean this is my gun psyker build
yeah he runs communion + flayer
so thats his warp charge gen
maniac and flak
What are yalls favorite melee weapons
I just run a normal blaze setup on gunpsyker. sometimes going warp unleashed with force sword.
force sword is my favorite melee weapon because of the special and the fact that it has access to Slaughterer
i thought you were falling behind your team
but no
tf are they doing over there
at least you have a gun to clear the eyes
@echo turtle did you just play the zealot
low3 moment
kinetic shield bad ?
i personally run kinetic shield all the time as a melee psyker
very super duper bad stinky doo doo
but I also take a +3 stam curio and block eff to compensate for the force sword's absolutely doodoo block cost
since my rationale is that kinetic shield like having another +toughness curio, so it's fine to give up a curio to stamina
I also dislike having my passive peril regen stopped by blocking since i rely on it for force sword specials, and I have the trauma staff to clear enemies off downed teammates to revive them
basically will you have value being able to take one extra shot
over infinite push attack spam
one of the biggest things about kinetic deflection is that it just lets you forever push attack, which basically makes hordes a non issue
if you're using a weapon with an actual push-attack (AKA not the force sword), then kinetic deflection is nice for that
Like the moment you take a hit just hold rmb and spam push attacks
and yeah
super comfy
but for weapons like the force sword where pushing only costs 1 bar and it's not something that you spam, then kinetic shield is fine
makes pretty much hordes a non issue
and then you use positioning to not get shot to shit
should i be spamming trauma staff during fights or gettin in there with the force sword ?
oh i wasnt using it, i just told him about how blaze away/pinning would buff the dot damage
being aggressive with the trauma staff is the best way to deal with ranged enemies
i just tested some pinning fire bleed memes and showed it to him
also u dont need pushes to make hordes a non-issue, u just need to be a chad
like this
👃
of course it depends on the map section, but there are some sections where you can be an absolute monkey and charge into ranged patrols with the trauma staff
lmao
also
yeah i tested his build, granted it was in low three but
the stack generation wasn't there
I even had another psyker running purge and yeah
wasn't getting shit for warp charges
I mean the problem is that AB gets rid of em
maybe its just my play style where I use my ability frequently
u get em back if u ab hordes
Ive never seen the need for stamina trinkets, regardless of FS or not FS, psyker default regen/push is plenty to stay alive
block eff is nice for picking people up in a crowd, otherwise likewise, haven't felt the need
a bit of a stupid question, but what duelling sword blessings have value? is 10% of precognition even noticeable, if it's additive to already massive innate bonus? stacking uncanny strike also seems like a dumb gimmick for when you wanna dance with a mauler.
riposte is obviously massive, and shred, i guess. but eh.
so, +weakspot/+crit dmg actually does better if the weapon in question has a good weakspot/crit multiplier
but it's usually still not that great
uncanny isnt terrible but its kinda specific and situational
precog is just a meme
they fucked the numbers on it
and it only applies once on crit weakspots
so u dont even get to dip it twice
breh
invest now and wait for the buff
lol
3 minutes until disappointment time
i do have a raw shitty sword with both uncanny and precog t4, waiting for hadron sacrifice.
but since both look like crap stat-wise, no rush to slap it on my main.
is duelling rampage worth it? can it be procced reliably?
the lights and heavies on all duelling swords have at most 2 cleave, so the only enemy that you can cleave three times are pretty much groaners (0.75 mass)
the push-attack has 6 cleave
were you sad? I was sad
still no force weapons in my milk shop
the burn
burn should be the highest stat, damage lowest
yeah I got trash
yes the burn is potato
tbh it's probably worth to rip flurry off of
yeah that is what I was thinking as well
almost got baited lel
is this worth the melk coins to strip the blessing?
both vraks are good
(rending shockwave)
melk trolling
(terrifying barge is shit)
idk if I'd want crit stuff on the semi vraks tho
I am not much of an axe user, but this one made me exhale heavily. do I take it? if i do i wont have enough to get anything else.
Alright tried Shredder AB build, that was pretty fun
Were you getting stacks for AB?
Taxe 7 is great on zealot. It's fast. Can stunlock ragers with special attack. I dunno if I would make it my #1
cuz i couldn't maintain stacks for shit in my low 3
I did a lo5, and I would guess that have my AB's were at 4 stacks, and a good chunk were at 0.
I don't think AB works great below damnation TBH
Sorry not AB really - psychic commuion specifically
feeds AB
I've not played Psyker in a while but I still check my shop. Is Deflector on Force Sword still the most desired blessing? Getting this from Melkies and I don't think I'll want to reroll the blessings.
I would much prefer to run Aura, but tried communion first to be safe.
Deflector is just a build, I would not say most desired. There are other builds. I am not a huge fan of blazing spirit, but I suppose if you were ging to do it...
I would 100% take that and make it my new purge, I run one with pretty much the same modifiers, 65% burn isn't bad if literally everything else is 75%+.
Ill buy it and give her a spin, I dont own a purge staff so why not
You gotta fight. For your right. To PAAARRRRRTYYYYY
I had top damage (by a hair.....) on my lo5 with Shredder AB
Decent for a fresh 30?
Blue fire pretty :^)
With the revive nerf, Deflector is mostly seen as a "nice to have but not necessary" blessing now. Blazing Spirit is a bit meh, but if you want the novelty of having a T4 blazing spirit to open up more force sword builds and whatnot or to pray for potential buffs to blazing spirit, then sure
lmao on malice?
oh now I see that two wounds
i've been running autopistol meme for like a week now
Why would someone be mad his build is popular
That means he made a good build
what is your feat build for purge I just havent played it before.
It IS.... but it is dubious power. If you have MilkBucks to spare, that is a fun meme weapon.
The nerd rage is coming from inside the house
seems like he's surreptitiously bragging
trying to say
hey thats MY build that I came up with, and i want you to know it
Fuck 'em.
because im cool and built dif
its kinda not a secret anymore than autopistol with pinning fire and blaze away is pretty ridiculous
especially once you get at least one decent perk to go with it

Here is a video that helped me with my build. I run this for versatility.
In this video we take on Damnation Hi-intensity using the Purgatus staff and with three randoms from matchmaking.
Full build and items in the video.

mfs when they say something is underrated
nice thanks
Definitely a non standard build 😮
Mfs when their old weird useless builds that gave them identity suddenly get accepted as good from discovered requirements
i just played a high int game with someone playing auto pistol psyker
we won
he topped the scoreboard
Where are you picking up warp charges for battery with that? Looks tricky.
that's what I do as well; sometimes I even live
i always always stick with the team, or atleast a pair
i usually have the highest coherency efficiency in the scoreboard
I use brain burst for fighting shooters and pulling distant targets, building warp charges is something to be mindful of. If its something you cant be bothered with i guess kinetic flayer can help with that. Losing the faster BBs for AB, ehhh, its nice until you need to BeeBee a group of crushers and bulwarks.
if that's to be trusted
I usually have one of the lowest since I like to fuck off somewhere to get all the kills to myself
