A lot worse lol
after having fantastic rolls on both, for some reason purg doesnt stagger nearly as much as flamer does
MEEELK
bring me bloodthirsty
t4 slaughterer :o
so with blazing spirit and bloodthirsty will every individual tick of the special attack apply the soulblaze stacks
so it'll instantly maximize it to whatever the cap is
the second special you do
yeah so you special kill something
and then special attack thing numer two
yeah 3 procs
niiice
so that would put you at the cap of 12 stacks since its 3 ticks of 4 with a max level blazing spirit?
If melk brings bloodthirsty tomorrow and im out of currency cause of slaughterer 4 ima be pissed
What are good perks to put on melee weapons on Psyker? For Combat Axe and Dueling Sword?
i think the cap is 10?
Cant really go wrong with flak/maniac/unarmored
thanks for the info 
Just picked this up from Melk. First time I've seen bloodthirsty. Is it a blessing that can only roll on oranges?
nah it's not orange dependent
no blessings are 'color' dependent
other than greys dont get blessings
I thought power cycler on power swords is orange only
holy shit
the working theory is that higher rating = higher chance of greater tiered blessings
Power Cycler is just rare as fuck, and blues have a lower chance of getting higher level blessings than yellows
not that it is strictly impossible to get it from a green->blue consecration, but that the chance is lower
and melk passes out T3 blessings like candy
except when he gives you a 2
what a loser /s
that's a really good sword btw
Yeah, I'm glad I've been saving my melkbucks for something good
that's the best tactic
ive been saving my melkcoins for bad things
just pick out a handfull of blessings you want, in your head
and never stray from that
you are an alternative gamer
Jesus
20 Views. Watch IT DOES EXIST and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
yea +4 per crit up to 12
i think if you use it on a full purg stack you can get it up to 16 or something though?
like a weird quirk
4 psyker damnation runs are hard
kind of a commentary on the state of the class
Slowly BB all the shooters 
much easier to do overall damage on zeal and vet
with purg and AB you can out damage vets and zealots
on that one build maybe
been going for a few avg numbers on damnation runs, unless running that specific build its actually rare for me to go past 200k on psyker on other staffs unless hi5 or something
nope
with void i dont think i go past 230k
whilst its quite easy to push 250-300+ on most zealot plays
everytihng else is below that
ye
in my experience they are. if i match with 2 other psykers there's a 90% chance of failure
its gotten to the point where if i match with 2 others, i leave
even if topping out with kb build this is like
2 psykers is the smoothspot imo
avg damage i usually see on non purg
i only ever consider quitting with a shield ogryn
cause i know we are going to have to babysit and pick that guy up 500 times
looking at my screenshots
i get 230+ with voidstrike
379 with void or trauma here
i can see that happening in hi5 with trauma
hjard to tell because i like putting other staff skins on
but for psyker unless it's purga
i really have to try to get the big damage numbers
i just got back from this game on my zealot
(Theil)
brain was off for most of it
230k damage easily attained with brain off
guess which one it was
ahaha
yall wouldve died
reminds me of dumb mid joins
no damage no kills no nothing most damage taken most downs
you look like the savant psyker stereotype @cyan notch
there arent a lot of cosmetics that look good
savant stereotype
i dont use that hair
HE GOT DA WHOLE PACKAGE
im biased maybe, but i think this looks good
THE ENTIRE BAKERY
definitely biased
they dont have normal faces
half of them look like a grenade exploded in their face
lol
or fridge dropped on them as a baby or somethin
like they been punched in the face or take roids or testosterone
even the hair is all shit
Reroll sprint efficiency or unarmored damage? I assume sprint efficiency.
and mostly worthless on other classes
Alright
like wtf
its loss of huge damage potential so u can run 5 more meters
unless you really like sprinting
sliding on psyker tho
Alright I’m gonna reroll it to flak damage or something on my Chainaxe

people still sprint cuz its easier
aesthetically i can only really stand my vet without a mask
Idk ive been playing 4 psyker runs
that's a cool look
and then im alone
yeah most psyker pubs are meh
many will explode several times a game lol
yeah you get good players
but on average psykers just dont perform as well as some of the other classes, my opinion
best performance without question are actually good vets
Steam deck
you simply wont catch up to their damage
I’d have to publish the photo to steam
unless said ab purg build
yeah vets run away with damage between power sword and their ranged weaponry
psyker doesnt have i dont feel like taking damage from ranged today like vet or i dont feel like dying today or maybe ill just heal to full hp from a couple swings like zealot
I’m on steam deck its a long a process getting it to a computer from it
I find with 4 psykers we just dont have the beef to stand up to big ambushes
if we have the CC to survive, great
but otherwise overwhelmage
Give me horde melee dammit
i mean if you think 4 pubs are gonna time their F's together i think you're out to lunch
yea u kill the rest of the stuff
where you just have an onslaught of bulwarks and elites trailing behind
It's hard to do well in psyker games without a certain degree of control
As long as the zealot is picking flamers, pub zealot are mostly fine.
I ate dinner two hours ago

Sorry, three hours ago
Im just going off my experience, 4 psyker runs are the hardest i have to try
Did a 4 psyker heresy run in pubs
noticeably different than regular runs
and yeah, shitty pubs exist, but its not just a coincidence
yalls regions pub psykers must be hella noob
We called each other 'siblings' and unleashed our purge staves on a poor plague ogryn
Psyker just don't have much opinion to get out of a sticky situation.
basgard
I think psyker just cant stand up to big pressure
have to run and hide constantly
but when you run out of space to run and hide
Glass cannons where ranged damage is a major factor

only w ith purga and AB do you become glass cannon
:\
they can definitely handle pressure
just gotta want the dub enough
i love duelling sword
as a psyker main, psykers do be lackin
couldn't honestly tell you how to fix it though
Psyker can do some good niche things that other can't, but lack the power to break the stickly situations that the game will throw on you.
skill issue imo
i just got hit with that tbh
use KS > KD for 1 run, lost cause i couldn't clutch revive 3 of my teammate caues i was using a taxe and would had gotten instant guard broken 
use my ult, res one then they instant die to dog jumping them
I always run KD
Come play with me and show me your skill
what region are you
Im in north america, east if thats a region
me too, just want to try to see if i can get away without blocking too much but not using it for one run basically remind me that i run KD as a revive tool > block tool for myself
I mean i play with a guy in germany and he never has issues
You should be helping your vet delete ranged targets
With BB
Even if they're not scabs you should be doing it anyways
you're a laser pointer weee
I play vet, zealot, psyker and man i really feel the difference
i dont like getting hit through block from latency
or getting shot in slide
Skill issue
Yeah zealot just says "lol" and beheads people
I have psyker and zealot and zealot is definitely brain off for me
Atleast compared to psyker
I only play damnation
Brain off psyker = ded
yea cuz dying is just a suggestion for zealots
vets can get overwhelmed too
I take it
i feel like they are the most dependent on a good team
like
having frontliners as a vet is great
i feel thats mostly their fault for refusing to use melee or not knowing how to melee
Zealot at 1hp:
"You fool. You absolute buffoon. This was my plan all along."
And then they start swinging heavy sword around like no one's business
Is the zealot trap card to go down for the third time this mission?
Thunder hammer if you want more brain off interactions
Yeah with thammer is just relentless charge the boss till it's dead
i dont, melee doesnt mean you're invincible, especially with bulwarks swarming you
Run in BAM, back off run in BAM back off run in BAM dead
idk it kinda does mean ur invincible
alright
so this conversation is
Im invincible in melee therefore
all classes are godlike
and there can be no disparity in power
very good
zealots wil lsay
its zealin time and then zeal all over the heretics
and their near death experience was nothing more than skin exfoliation
very smooth and silky now
does sustained fire do anything on voidstrike?
no its vets are invincible in melee so they arent "most dependent on a good team" idk where u got the whatever power disparity thing
Only time u should be in melee as psyker is when all ranged threats are dead and you need to dps bulwark or mauler with fs special
Or boss idc
Toughness needs a buff imo
So anyways
It's not like zealot where you regen toughness per swing
All's I'm gonna say is that you have a small handful of people saying psyker is fine/perfect balance/survivability wise, then a very large amount saying that there's something off with the balance/survivability. So are all those people wrong/bad at the game? Hmmm.
Uhhh your mom
a lot of it is cuz theyre shit

but sure u have to work harder as psyker in some situations
Psyker is OK if you work well with your team I just think toughness needs a lil buff
Yeah maybe 50 extra toughness or higher toughness Regen
What blessings should I go for on Trauma staff
Pygex prolly knows
@viral solstice too
Warp flurry + rending shockwave are considered Bis(best in slot)
flurry and whatever u want
I think it needs an all-class buff tbf
theres not much to choose from and besides flurry they arent game changing
Toughness just doesn't hold up well in heresy or higher
you get a few players who are like, Im so good i dont ever get hit and kill everything. When you're that good you can play any class and be godlike
i have never used trauma so my view is u should use the ones that look the coolest
so you arent really contributing to a conversationm
kk and for stats, is there a dump stat on trauma?
you're just flexing on a discord channel
Toughness just melt in damnation and give your enemy a free stun.
Not for vet though



Psyker is in a weird place where if the game didn't have as many problems it would be fine
Wait why did I reply to that

Brain moment
What an idiot omg
Idk maybe we'll wait and see what devs do for game balance
Either they'll buff the classes or rework damage values for enemies or both
I personally feels purge+BB focus psyker give me the most stable damnation run. Surge+axe can do the job but just cant change the tide when things go south on the team.
theyll probably do that in a major rebalance patch idk if this upcoming one is it (probably not)
Purga and AB wreck damnation yeah
Or maybe they'll do the fatshark meme of "we add weapons to fix our problems omegalul"
damage is my dump stat for trauma staff, as long as you have 60%
i think psyker's toughness regen feats are good
but the fact that I need to play through an animation to activate the special on my force sword
is so shit
all our secondaries are charge
so much downtime just to use peril
and the one warp ability that works on click, the LMB of our staffs, is kind of shit
They really want to throw the idea of it being a risk-reward glass cannon wep out there
very unresponsive and there's just downtime here and downtime there
i'm fine with having downtime for quelling since we're basically reloading
lmb fucks its left
Yeah, psyker have the best t1 feats. All three are useful depends on the build.
but if they're going to encourage peril generation during combat with abilities like Kinetic Shield and Warp Unleashed, they better fucking make using the Force Sword's special better
Yeah because most of your usefulness comes from m2
No?
Fatshark did this w/ sienna's staves in vt2
True
Lmb is good for stuning small things quickly, but that is it.
Weak ass poke special LESGO
like, you can skip out of the Chainsword's special activation animation, but you can't do that with the Force Sword for whatever reason
so stupidly clunky
Atleast the anim looks cool
Animation speed buff patch incoming? 
u cant do that with hammer too i dont think
Most wep special is shit tbf.
i hate zealots since they get heavy swords, so they probably deserve it
if anything chainsword seems like an outlier if u can just cancel it
I love catachan sword more tho
3 target hard cap on TH's attacks and a special activation you can't skip
What is heavy sword good for? Had try the move set a couple time, but never get any feeling from it.
It's mostly cleave weap
the MKIX in particular has 7.5 cleave on its lights
and all Heavy Swords have access to a buffed version of Headtaker
At t4, it's +15% power up to 5 stacks, and you get stacks for simply hitting enemies
But it's got a special that does some single target dmg
It's actually pretty good for melee only zealots
unlike Slaughterer where the condition is killing enemies
It got buffed a while ago
Just feels like a bad devils claw by the move set its own.
Soooo what I need is a overpower blessing.
here's the cleave of the Heavy Sword MKIX
and here's the cleave distribution of its lights on a Poxwalker
lmb go brrr
its ok psykers have duelling sword with uh precog and uh riposte and uh
Going to best buy every week because your lmb develops ptsd
contrast this with the Devil Claws which all have at most 3.6 cleave on its lights
and for comparison, here's the cleave distribution of a sweeping light attack on a Devil Claw
look at that whopping 8.81 damage
beautiful, isn't it?

Foolish swords
and here's the cleave distribution of a sweeping heavy attack on a devil claw
What is the functional difference between the various dueling swords
the minimum cleave damage on a devil claw is WORSE than the minimum cleave damage on an MKIX heavy sword's light
27.42 compared to 36.27
and devil claws don't even get power blessings
Not much
They're meant to be finesse weapons but funnier on force swords
MKV is really the only distinct one because of its Defence stat that scales block and push cost
Ive been using an MK V and not really found it wanting for an yreason. Not sure what the differences for the others are
Dueling sword has better cleave i believe
All duelling swords have at most 2 cleave on their lights and heavies
As far as I remember, the heavy stabs have 0.7 or 1 cleave
Trying a force sword now for the first time
I guess their attack combos and whether they have an overhead/diagonal/stab for their heavies is the difference
make sure to use a force sword with the Slaughterer blessing
Also, a question I only feel the need to ask because
. But, does wearing a head piece increase my hit box in any way shape or form?
I highly doubt it
Just use dueling sword to run and jump fast.
Mk4 have the worst slowest melee loop, so just not that one.
mk4 is good all headshot angles
A better word to be specific
Mk4 also the drippiest dueling sword. That's why I use it
Ok I do NOT like the force swordd.
I am not a fan of its pokieness on both heavy and push attack
Lol, we wiped on the 2nd room
What level are you
Do you know the horde clear combo for fs?

is warp flurry still bugged on surge staff?
I do not liek the force swords dodging potential
Light, heavy, block cancel
Yes
It has infinite dodge potential
FS is the only weapon with infinite dodge count
I got pinned by a horde that would not have pinned me with the DS
just gotta keep in mind that the dodge distance isn't enough to get out of the attack range of most attacks, so you'll need to dodge sideways against running attacks
It's not so bad if you slide
if you proc slaughterer, the power buff will increase the strength of your pushes
It was just a green sword. Nothing to proc really
f
Ill give it another chance afteR I build one up
I want 4-5 viable builds on all classes.
are they aware?
Purga + ascendant blaze is the most viable build imo
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Psyker has a few viable builds
you can quell-cancel LMBs and still get the buff from sustained fire
Purge+dueling is my build. I rarely use the sword though.
yeah learned that quick
Anyone think FS will fix the useless special on most wep?
specials sometimes chain into later attacks of a chain, so there's a use for that
on the MK4 Duelling Sword, doing a special into a light skips the first 2 lights to the 3rd light
I was thinking about mostly the little bash on range wep. Yeah, melee mostly have their use.
Just add force on the bash and let us push enemy away or something.
had that shit happen to me repeatedly this week
Melk gave me a bloodthirsty IV blessing that gives 100% crit on special attack kill but do I keep 100% crit chance if I keep the sword equipped ?
How does it work?
100% crit for 5s after special attack kill
I have heard the buff will maintain for 5s. Not sure about wep change.
Ok, it wasn’t written on the blessing I think
yea its not
The other blessing is the one that apply soulblaze on crit but it’s only 2 stacks so it sucks
Should be at least 4 stacks for tier III
u can apply it pretty fast with bloodthirsty as u can imagine
Ah true, it’s just most things died pretty quick so didn’t get to test much
Gonna give it a chance again Sunday
Lmb two time with purge seems faster if you are looking for soulblaze
The weapon came up with both blessings so I was trying to figure out the synergy possible
Thanks guys good night
I guess it will be better to change if the other blessing is good?
PS special critical already killing most of the things on itself. And for those don't, soulblaze isn't doing much to it either. Better just hit it with another special.
Has anyone ever seen 5 ammo in one train in chasm logistratum raid?
just happened to us on the right train
ive seen 4
Happened tonight actually
The bad part is the cap is 6 on the blaze blessing
Or 12
Nvm
Purgatus is probably the best build in the fact that almost every feat synergizes well with it, but I think you can make a build with any staff work in Damnation. We have a couple of weak feats, but overall Psyker is in a good place right now.
Lately I've been playing Gunpsyker with the shredder autopistol, and that's a lot of fun too when you get bored of staff psyker.
No nothin beats evaporating mutants with the shredder as they run towards you
Speaking of staves, I'm loving how voidstrike works compared to surge and that not-conflagration one
It's five seconds
You can get ten L1 swings off from Bloodthirsty
its 5s
it lasts longer than Slaughterer, so it's certainly more than that
I can get 6 critical heavies off
Oh yeah you can get 5. Man it's tight though, had to get swinging right after the animation lock breaks
Got 10 swings off Finesse 75, but that 10th one is right on the edge, misses the window sometimes
I can get 11 swings with a 79% finesse FS
I do wish Flaming Sword was more... useful. Those burn stacks really hit for a lot, but so awkward.
If only Bloodthirsty + Blazing Spirit made your sword visibly flaming until bloodthirsty ended... =D
Also that
Staff version is capped at 6, FS version has a cap of 10 for T3 and a cap of 12 for tier 4
Ah
The major thing holding it back is no cleave. We need a 2H force claymore with that combo.
Give FS Surge 
I really need to find blazing spirit. Still have never gotten a single weapon to roll the blessing
Since I started playing
I am missing the Bloodthirsty, only have like 2 T4 blessings for FS but 10/11 for T3
I've got bloodthirsty at least
I wish I could put blood thirsty on a staff. Bonk somebody with the void staff special then crit kill the entire map in 5 seconds
Probably best it never goes on a staff on second thought
Got a bunch Shred force sword when I try to farm blessing.
I didn't even have much in my FS blessing pool but I somehow just keep getting them.
I got 16 ghost t3 blessings out of 40 when hunting for infernus
It's very annoying
FATSHARK: alright varlets, we've been listening to your feed back about wanting popular systems from vermintide 2 brought to darktide, and so we are happy to announce, psykers will now take health damage from active quelling above 30% peril. I hope you all enjoy
lol
And we hear you veterans: Plasma gun at 100% heat will now fire a supercharged 100% heat blast that lowers heat to 0% and annihilates everything in the blast radius.
To me it seems shred saugherer, precognition and riposte are more common than other blessings
We hope this change will bring psyker back in line with the other classes after buffs in the last patch gave psyker significant qol and we can't have that
i actually get a lot of deflector and exorcist
@near wyvern the devs said they are weighted...it's why I don't have power cycler yet, probably a 0.5% drop chance
I just love LAYERS of rng
I love this game, but until it's more accessible to players it'll still get a thumbs down from me. Can't recommend something that other people will hate due to RNG bullshit.
We cant just have RNG anymore we gotta layer that shit like a 12 layer lasagna of bullshite
All my friends quit once they realized how bad the grind was and how little content there is.
Every time I reroll a perk I'm cursing Fatshark with every click.
Stupid nexus mods won't let me download without logging in, and that's too much work.
if you trust someone in here they can give you the download
Fatshark needs to enable Steam Workshop, yesterday.
One day I'll feel un-lazy and recover my nexus pw...
Until then, I get to waste time rerolling and wonder why noone at Fatshark plays their game, or games in general.
Technically I'm an Omni-varlet.
many emails to read, many disappoints to be discarded
Main all 4...
we must grow our brains together 
For me, shred has been rare, and I'm swimming in deflectors...
Makes sense with the observations I have made so far
Indeed. Such a sucky game design. I have 312 hours on a single character and I haven't still seen a Bloodthirsty. Let's just let that sink in for a while.
Well, the T4's have been quite rare. I have rolled over 100 FS at this point and only rolled 2 T4's. Other 2 came from Milkstore
I'm in the process of leveling another psyker to maybe get some psyker gear from melk...
My main psyker only gets guns...
Lol
It's funny how you think a second psyker will fix that issue
Lol
it is fun carrying newbs in low levels with heavy laspistol tho =P
They're probably like "wtf level 1 in uprising?"
It's crazy how long the shooters take to shoot at you
I feel invincible
Same here. I have over 20 recon lasguns that are 370+ from Brunt. I have stopped buying them, at the moment there is one 374 as well
I do have 10-20k melkbux on all my characters, except the lowbie
I do wish fatshark would've said definitively that we could earn blessings from deconstructing gear
I passed up some tier 4's I would've liked on bad gear months ago
I don't recall, but I might've seen a bloodthirsty in december
On like a 300 base force sword
What perks and blessings should look for when making Purgatus aka fire stick?
lolwut
What's a good Reason to take recon over laspistol or shredder. I haven't been able to find one personally
I always knew they were level 1 trying to throw the game!
@steel flame Infernus
Oh wait, you said good reason...
Infernus is better on laspistol anyways
But I like Ghost and Reassuringly Accurate on laspistol. =)

Low damage, and MK II has a lot of upward strikes that don't hit heads...
they need to re-do it's moveset
Though really, if an attack goes through the enemy's body and comes out of it's head...shouldn't that be a weakpoint hit?
I know it isn't...
I can't find many reasons to take any saber over the knife
He's just trying to make you sing a new song...Doran Doran...
I only like the Mk 5...+15% dodge distance =)
Still not as good as knife
I wish we could get those fabled 6 dodge limit knives...sadly reserved for mobility over 80...
where does duelling sword shine ? it does low damage, only 4 dodges, it sprints very quick, I don't understand the middle click
it can stagger ragers
MK5 in particular has its block cost scale with the Defense stat
at 80%, it costs about 0.33 bars to block a groaner
The other two duelling swords will take 0.5 bars
And for comparison's sake, the Force Sword will take 1.5 bars to block a groaner
oh I see, so very good for blocking, and I think it has good cleave too
Depends
not that you really want to block, of course, and it's kind of useless because of the duelling sword's high mobility
its cleave is actually pretty shit
lights and heavies will have at most 2 cleave
Attack pattern very wildly
2 cleave means that you can only hit three groaners (0.75 mass) or two poxwalkers (1 mass) in a single swing
this is my sword and I like the pokey heavy but it's very low dmg
the push-attack has 6 cleave, but its cleave damage distribution is extremely shit
I also have an mk5 I could maybe upgrade
If you stack block efficiency and grab +stam curios, you can tank Daemonhosts with just the MK5 duelling sword for a good while
though you will slowly run out, since even +56% block efficiency isn't good enough to out-regenerate his attacks
yeah I am stacking stamina already for that sweet force push
i take +3 stam curio too, esp because I don't run kinetic deflection
on which weapon?
MK5 to be specific if I start upgradding it
Recon ammo economy sucks so no there is no good reason to bring recon
all blessings on the duelling sword except precognition are pretty viable iirc
not that the duelling swords have a large blessing pool anyways
they only have 5 blessings I think? Shred, Precognition, Riposte, Uncanny Strike, Rampage
I guess shred is always good, maybe with riposte
what's wrong with precog on a finesse wep?
doesnt register dodges correctly so it never works right i believe
latency and the like fuck with it
no idea
it works in the meatgrinder fine at least
i dont use it cause its crap
the problem with precognition is that the bonus it gives is extremely bad
that too
because +weakspot and +critical dmg only boosts the bonus crit/weakspot damage
that link explains it
and at t4, it only gives +10%
Precog and riposte work in mission according to show buffs mod
Fair enough
bah, so dead tonight, no one wants to do HI 5 😐
100%
I'll do a high 5 with you
question, what should i aim for as base stats in general... i got 379 on my first roll so i am spoiled...
380 is the highest you can go
and all stats are capped at 80%
"dumpstats" are stats that you can usually be fine with being low
on the Force Sword, warp resistance and mobility are the dumpstats
yeah but i cant keep rolling got no money... anything over 360 good enough?
Whooooo time for a HI 5
Nightshift can suck sometimes
yea
I will use a 350 as long as the important stats isn't crap.
Having a 380 with shit roll mean nothing anyway. So I will use whatever is good enough
Lots of weapons have dump stats so many 360 can be better than 380
i could probably do with having 0% warp res on a force sword
so 300 if you like being at 100% peril all the time
It's uhhhhh better warp unleashed uptime, yeah we'll go with that.
quietude users be like
climbing rails is very dangerous; https://streamable.com/ua1nck
Skissue
does weapon ranking matter for damage or no
No only damage related stats
Anyone could tell me which perks and blessings i should get on purgatus staff?
blessings you want warp nexus and then terrifying barrage
technically speaking you would want flurry over barrage but its currently broken rn
so yeah
i see
perks you can basically go for the typical maniac and flak dmg, or swap out one of them for crit
purge crits apply two stacks of burn, which is why its worth running crit
thanks
I'm going to do nefarious deeds with this information
Seems warp nexus is a must on staff?
only on purge and surge
Meta Blessings:
Surge & Purge: Warp Nexus + Terrifying Barrage (Warp Nexus is the important one, Swap Barrage for Warp Flurry if/when it gets fixed)
Voidstrike: Transfer Peril + Warp Flurry (Both are pretty important)
Trauma: Warp Flurry + Rending Shockwave (Warp Flurry is the important one, shockwave is just extra)
Someone could pin this ☝️
maybe malice
Actually living in alternate reality
I am not using FS in damnation, and I use purge lol.
How do you do fellow psykers? Having fun clearing penances? 
I’ve had mine done since like December
These guys referring to devil's claw as cata?
Catachan
Giving up on that quite a while. Not having fun with penances.
Also I bring FS into my damnation games with surge staff
Works fine for me kek
Personal preference rly but
I just want my kamikaze gear
Good armour pen
Tbh half of me almost wishes I still had some stupid penance on Psyker left to do
Cuz god damn there’s nothing to do
You can help me? 
Key words ofc being “half of me” and “almost”
idk what they were thinking with the penances, honestly
I suffered the long and hard way and so shall you
Back when cliffhanger was 20 enemies not fucking eight
I have suffered longer, apparently 
What penances you need anyways
Blowy uppy and kill monster with BB
1st one actively harms teamplay. 2nd one does too....but is completely impossible in with pugs
"Ah yes, play your class worse and kill yourself. Have fun!"
2nd one best bet is to get a shieldgryn from LFG to help
Same with first one actually
Both are aids
Oh yeah also using FS with deflector can make out with a bang easier
Push three shotgunners in a corner with shield ogryn
Blow up
Success
The worst thing is blowing yourself up don't do much damage.
People on forums either despise the penances or are like "Oh I got it randomly lmao"
If you're a half decent psyker, why would you ever be in a group of elites with 100% peril?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve seen a guy do it once
Think he was using trauma or purge, started blowing up halfway through the horde event
And walked into the horde and fucking got the achievement
I was livid but eh congrats I guess
Have we gotten any kind of official response to the penance backlash?
Lmao they changed cliffhanger from 20 enemies to 8, changed malleus wte from 100% to 90% and changed pick n mix from 10 seconds to 12
Yes. They changed some of them to be a bit easier and hoped we enjoy our suffering.
That’s pmuch it
Penances are 90% work by your team, 10% work by you, and only you get the rewards. Good design.
Just make new friends
Ez pz

I don't have friends, only siblings
And yet no sibling in the world wants to suffer for a penance 
Well JK I did have firends but most of them quit the game already. Did manage to get them to get my goggles before they quit tho.
It wouldn’t do if I lessened your suffering
Lol same got pick n mix and cliffhanger with em
The rest I LFG’ed and did in one sitting with a group I found at like 1 AM (took 5 hours and I went to bed at 6)
cliffhanger is harder to get when you and your team are better on the game
I mean there’s a way to get it easily
Find chasm logistratum and there’s an area off spawn where you just afk and wait for a horde
I guess malleus is a fair change since one random shot from your turn can ruin the whole thing.
It won't stop that it is a stupid thing to do though.
@uneven panther great news, turns out the vet plasma gun explosion still counts towards out with a bang
So try that instead
When do you get that? Don't have a vet yet
How to do psyker penances 101:
Step 1: change into vet 
👍👍👍

Eh, just do Comms Plex and get to the elevator hack section, spawns a billion shotgunners
what is brittlenes as effect?
Armor damage
so like armor pen?
hey guys, its been months since i've been here, do dreg shotgunners still ignore suppression from purgatus staff?
Didn’t even know that was a thing but never saw a fix
Kinda yeah
Basically there’s a coefficient for each weapon between 0 to 1
For armor damage
And brittleness increases that coefficient
Just remember brittlenes is better since it work for the whole team.
so that and brutal momentum i guess will be my blessings on combat axe?
so its good
Brutal momentum and head taker/decimator
Both head taker and decimator increases power, and power increases damage, cleave, stagger. Axes also have a naturally high armor pen value iirc
Do headtaker and limbsplitter stack?
Ehhh yes but you want brutal momentum so only take one
Head taker being the better of the two
power+power seems nice lol
It’s eh
Only useful if you are using it for like crushers otherwise overkill
The important blessing on pmuch all axes is brutal momentum
And then a power blessing of your choice to assist in killing, head taker and decimator being the top choices
FATSHARK: alright Convicts, we've been listening to your feedback about wanting popular systems from vermintide 2 brought to darktide, and so we are happy to announce, psykers will now take health damage from active quelling above 30% peril. After the last patch adding many QOL changes to psyker we feel this change will bring them back into line behind the other classes and bring it closer to how we feel psyker players need to suffer
Sounds accurate
i'd hate that mechanic brought back in darktide
would make playing psyker a pain in the ass more than it usually is when you're trying to BB like a gigachad
Plasma gun vets get burned while venting
Brittleness% is an enemy debuff for 5 seconds.
Let's say that you were using the Force Sword's heavy which deals 66% damage against Carapace by default. Then, if the enemy is debuffed with 25% brittleness, then you will deal 66% + 8.25% = 74.25% damage against Carapace instead. Where does this 8.25% come from? It comes from (100% - 66%) * 25% = 8.25%.
That is to say, brittleness% will mitigate the fact that a weapon does lower damage than usual to a particular armour type. However, if an attack already does 100% or more damage to an enemy, it will do nothing. E.g., the Force Sword's heavies do 100% damage against Unarmoured and thus will not benefit from brittleness% at all.
vet are not forced to shoot plasma. We are force to use BB
brittleness% and rending% follow the same math as listed above, but rending% is a self-buff for a player and brittleness% is an enemy debuff
I mean
Technically you can just not use BB
And just play gun psyker so you don’t touch the force at all
yeah but what about force sword only users like me
i channel my powers thru da emprahz steel
Oh yeah, does anyone knowledge the special attack on FS and chained wep count as multiple hit now?
I remember it was a question that had no answer back then.
You don't loose anything even you left the plasma at the ship. You loose a tool if you choose to not use BB.
Eh BB is overrated anyways
It is not the best, but I would rather work with whatever I had.
By the way, it work fine on my purge dueling sword build.
The main complain is that it should one hit the dog.
Meh I would prefer if dogs were one shot by BB
trappers are already pretty easy to deal with specifically because they get fucked by a single BB
on void staff, is having less aoe better? i get way too many bodyshoots even while aiming at/higher than enemy heads
it's so annoying
The jank ass targeting is annoying as is
for the quell on weakspot blessing
Idk why dogs have same hp as mauler
voidstrike just has a large hitbox and torso prioritization
you need to aim a good bit above the head of enemies
WAIT
dogs also take 3x damage from melee
Imo shit like dogs and bursters should be one shot BB
It works for power on weakspot but you can't continue the chain so you get to 3 stacks and it resets on your next attack. The damage of the special is calculated the moment it begins so there is no real benefit. For exorcist (quell on repeated weakspot hit) it's an acknowledged bug that you gain nothing from special even tho special hits 3 times.
2 months ago
psyker finally fixed
Yeah it’s why psykers don’t run communion anymore besides purge staffs
i havent played since 2022 lmao
dogs and bursters have other methods to be dealt with by
BB shouldn't be this universal tool
it's already quite good for Bulwarks by ignoring their shield/staggering them for other attacks
Yup but they aren't. Well you can one shot bursters if you have 6 stacks (WB) and are running WR and CL
i still like it for QoL
Also all or nothing gets you to 2 shot crushers with 6 stacks (WB) and CL
It’s like the suicide bomber and the fast, janky pouncer that can turn on a dime isn’t one shot BB like bruh
I’m fine with something juggernaut ish like the mutant being what 3 Bb? But yeah the dog is bad imo
And it’s jank as well
and even if you don't run the force sword, the staff LMBs will always stagger them in the middle of their pounces
The amount of times it goes flying into who knows where is rly annoying
At the very least BB should stop the dog on tracks when it hits
and we have an ult that pushes them
That would work as well yeah
The slip n slide bs is also dumb
It’s like they get staggered and instantly recover into a pounce ready state and it’s like
Bruh wtf
their timer doesn't seem to stop while being staggered
Burster is fine since there are different way to push it back.
Dog is not even with 3x melee. It just get up too fast for you to finish the job and jump out of your camera.
just chase them
Nah bursters are dumb they should be one shot too
with full stacks slaughterer, you can push a horde away and kill them
they are one-shot by the trauma staff wink wink
When you are doing casual Assassination mission for Scriptures for weekly and get 2nd "Untouchable" (technically)
Nice nice
Bleh trauma
Surge staff forever
also void knocs them down
speaking of void, the secondary also tends to straight up kill them if you hit them in the middle of their pounce
If staggered dog have a longer down time or suffer a speed debuff, I will consider that is fine. But now, I will stick with my opinion.
void is love, void is life
if only it didn't magnet so much on the body when the projectile is visibly travelling through the enemies skulls
i'm fine with changes to dogs to fix them or alter them, but BB should not be able to one-shot them
fix the problem directly
All staff lmb can stun nice, you don't need void for that.
i don't mean that it will stun them
I mean it very literally when I say that it will one-shot them
lemme see if I can find the videos by crab
ye it's probably the xsame way surge kills them
stunned mid explosion = the fall, get up, explode on the spot
dog rocket space program
surge i wait for them to pounch or takes 2 long
oh tought u mean bursters, lol
that's new
it works out well if you aim somewhere above where their heads are at times
other times it just doesn't work
and having an actually useful special
“It can just do everything. Good armor damage, good horde, good attack patterns”
on malice maybe
Idk what the guys smoking but holy shit I need some of that
Idek what malice player would think the claw sword is good on armor
Try slapping a crusher with it on malice i doubt it’s much better
flak is still armour
I doubt that’s what he’s referring to kek
and i'm pretty sure that devil claws have extreme doodoo damage on their lights against flak
it do
hoping for some buffs to it next patch
it's pretty bad on all classes
and on zealot it's only use is to be a crit heavy sword that is worse
hopefully at least upping it's cleave and damage a bit
I think it’s like 3 heavies to kill those bucket head dregs on damnation
It’s….. not good
about yeah
hey arcotash
depends on which mark ur using
how much cleave does chainsaw sword have
this is the cleave of the devil's claw mk 4
I’m surprised tho of the trash mobs the fucking hobo ass bucket heads are the most annoying to deal with
lights on the chainsword have like 2 cleave
heavies have like 6(?)
let me check
yeah heavies have 6
Cuz chainsword bad kek
lights for single target heavies for hoard
I assume
if you have savage sweep/rampage you have to heavy first unless it's against groaners
same cleave count as the force sword, surprisingly enough
I mean on the chainsword
Oh no clue then
not the claw
its horde
it is, though once you proc svage sweep you can light spam
I will continue to misspell it(maybe, probably not)
It doesn’t rly have a good heavy for single target iirc
just rev
Eh
Yes but then you have the TH problem where the big damage heavy is a side swipe that gets caught on random shit
so surge is the kinda best staff for higher diff ? just so you can spam aoe stun
not really the first heavy is pretty easy to hit
iv been lovin the trauma staff its so fun blowing up groups
i wouldn't mind the heavy being a sweep
Yeah just use whichever staff you like the best tbh
i personally prefer having the overheads on the lights
Every staff psyker has is more than viable rn
iv been running trauma dueling as fresh 30
all staff are viable, just try them out a bit each
the void to shine needs transfer peril blessing, even the t2 is enough
can just spam forever in hordes (and even single targets if hitbox works)
and with quietitude you get toughness back from it too pretty sure (?)
what you guys like to run on purgatus (perk wise)?
+crit +flak?
what about the mighty gun psyker with shredder pist 331132
never tried guns on psyker
they were talking about it on here i think last night or the day before seemed interesting the idea is to take wrack and the passive burst chance with a fast firing ranged for elites then just spam and hope it procs to spread aoe fire i guess then passivly build warp charges and ult into hordes
seemed an easier passive way to play unsure how good it is prob not as good as just palying a veteran lol
tbf
also i tought every dot stack double the dot, but from 14 to 15 it's just 10% extra dmg
it's hard to be as good as just playing veteran
from 161 to 177 or so
Then stop trying to play discount shredder vet and start playing psyker with a gun
what perks on combat axed against swarms?
I do use devil crawl from time to time just to play brain dead. (Emperor gift me a nice one so better get use of it.)
@drifting arrow unarmored/infested
I guess infested+flak will be better as they tend to mix up?
which one was the best dueling sword again?
V for better blocking. Other than that is more or less a preference.
their lights have the same cleave count, so it comes down to how much you like the light anims or heavies (whether you want a stab/overhead/diagonals)
VI have is slower because if the move set. Two heavy and block attack are stab, so it can be hard to use.
II give you the most slash move. My personal preference.
V have a smash light attack so it is a little better in dmg.
brunt is my friend today
of course it got 15% tox flamers on upgrade which is terrible so, there is that
yes because its so fucking hard to get
but is it worth the pain?
how long does it last?
5s of auto crit after special kill, yeah
5s on FS, pretty sure everything else only gets the buff for the next attack
yeah chain weapons get 1 crit after special kill
I have a feeling they'll ''fix'' it next patch for FS as well
oof
Nah, they will wait for me to get it and then patch it the next day. 312 hours and counting, have checked melk every day since he was released. Still haven't seen Bloodthirsty on an FS.
time to start buying greys and upgrading
