#

i just randomly selected my level 5 feats

#

cuz idk the terms

humble star
#

pogryn madlad

honest frigate
#

Bruhh

#

What terms do you need help with

#

Feats are really useful

#

I chose them wisely

runic stream
#

i dont know any as i said

#

i cant cuz i have no idea what they mean

#

it was easy to figure out when i was playing zealot but psyker is something else

honest frigate
#

Thing is the descriptions of each feat arent 100% filled with special terms

#

If you could give me an example

#

I could help

#

Or look for a psyker guide like the one above

runic stream
honest frigate
#

Again, i can explain them, but i cant list you all the feats cuz i dint remember

#

Check psyker guides or give me a specific feat to explain

runic stream
#

yeah i get it i will look for the guide

honest frigate
#

Okay

vestal raven
#

lo

honest frigate
runic stream
#

whats line of sight

honest frigate
#

line of sight is the area that you see on your screen

safe crystal
#

If you can see an enemy, you have line of sight to them. When you cant see them anymore, you lose it

runic stream
#

brain burst is G button right?

honest frigate
#

Yes

olive ember
#

yes

runic stream
#

whats peril

honest frigate
#

Peril is the percentage

safe crystal
#

Fuel used for staff attacks, brain burst and force sword push attack + special

honest frigate
#

If you go over 100 you explode

safe crystal
#

Its the % you see on your screen whenever you do these

half iron
#

one is only so capable of containing the silliness

runic stream
#

yeah

#

so you get the color orange when you hit weak spot

#

but sword's special starts with blue then goes to orange iirc

#

why is that the same color appears when you shoot your allies

fallow meadow
#

Not a bad roll, I guess?

runic stream
#

whats Kinetic Presence

fallow meadow
#

blue mean "hit but no damage"

honest frigate
#

Huh

olive ember
runic stream
vestal raven
#

correct me if im wrong

fallow meadow
#

I know perk are shit though.

safe crystal
runic stream
#

whats quelling?

honest frigate
#

Lowering your peril

#

By holding R

runic stream
#

ah

vestal raven
#

im out of the loop lmfao

safe crystal
vestal raven
#

oh gotcha

#

thanks

olive ember
#

flurry has been broken since day 1

#

still is on purge and surge

fallow meadow
runic stream
fallow meadow
#

soulblaze are like flamer's fire, damage over time that stack.

leaden thunder
#

it's the white/blueish fire you see

honest frigate
#

you can inflict soulblaze in enemies with the purgatus staff as well

fallow meadow
#

How is burning damage on bosses work? Dose perk affect it?

runic stream
#

are lmbs of staves count as that

fallow meadow
#

So +25 on Unyielding do worth something. I may just keep it then.

runic stream
#

whats Inner Tranquility

fallow meadow
#

Cost lesser peri when you use warp attack. Depend on your warp charge.

humble star

spice veldt
# runic stream whats Kinetic Presence

Psyker's Aura (a passive that is shared to all teammates in Coherency) that gives +10% dmg against Elites. This is one of the rare instances where "Elites" refers to specifically Elites, not Elites and Specialists.

#

Wait what diescringe

spice veldt
#

It is safe to finish the cast of all warp abilities at 99% peril. However, Brain Burst is a little bit of an exception. If you start the cast at 98% or above, you will enter the suicide anim and die. It is also possible to die at 97% because peril% is a number with a few more decimal places that are hidden from the player, so you should probably quell to 96% or lower just to be safe.

Everyday I find out that English might be as hard as everyone say it is

viral solstice
#

no english is fake

#

dont trust it

#

source: im english and im not real

what's english

#

are you crazy?

Sire Milk you piece of shit

spice veldt
#

lmaaaoo

#

I have a surge trauma staff in my milk shop as well rn

viral solstice
#

but this is a stonks purchase

near wyvern
#

best part of is that I have those both blessings unlocked

viral solstice
#

when they fix it for trauma

#

o rip

near wyvern
#

it's just really Milk like to offer them both for trauma and think someone is going to buy them for almost 3k ingots

If anyone here likes to run macros, here is the Logitech macro to get stable max rate LMB and RMB spam (void only) using the same macro. To get the RMB version just hold right click. However, you can also tap this on Trauma & Surge to get the quell animation cancel for your next cast. You just want to do a regular LMB for the last one as you cannot otherwise manually quell cancel to long quell.

viral solstice
#

do NOT use this macro if u use voidstrike u need to shoot ORGANIC HOME-GROWN GMO FREE voidstrikes

spice veldt
#

The Force Sword's advantages are it's push cost, the great stagger on its special (light and heavy-specials will always stagger enemies like even Crushers during the cast and applies a stronger stagger at the end), the 200% damage against flak on its special (and 100% against every other armour type including Carapace), and infinite dodges. However, it has a 50% higher block cost, has a lower dodge distance range, has very poor stagger on its normal attacks, has no offensive push-attack, and requires a lot of RNG for a good offensive Force Sword.

dense vault
#

based on my attempts so far it has kinda poor hordeclear

#

but mine did not get slaugherer

spice veldt
#

yeah, without slaughterer, it's mediocre at best

#

but the heavies on the Force Sword have 6 cleave

#

AKA 8 Groaner's or 6 Poxwalkers

#

and it's minimum cleave damage is surprisingly good for what it is

viral solstice
#

cant believe u would call the devil claw beating force sword mediocre

#

im really s'ing my h rn

spice veldt
#

the other good offensive blessing for it also happens to be purely t4 only, so there's that RNG as well

#

I'm a former vet player who compares every melee weapon to the power sword ok

viral solstice
#

do you though

spice veldt
#

I dream of it every night

viral solstice
#

because i think ppl dont really understand

#

the power sword

spice veldt
#

🤔

viral solstice
#

like u gotta really internalise this

dense vault
#

fair and balanced

spice veldt
#

was that just with slaughterer

dense vault
#

choo complaining about /s

viral solstice
#

does it matter

spice veldt
#

das true

humble star
#

only 2 heavies per charge ogryn_pathetic

viral solstice
#

u right need power cycler to make it worth usin

spice veldt
#

ah woe is that

#

good thing that the power sword has access to power cycler AND slaughterer

#

it truly would be an underdog without access to these two blessings

grizzled jasper

#

the standard vet stands somewhere in the open, ads-ing with camo expert and dies to a single poxwalker

#

try a match with 3 camo expert vets, nothing comes close to the true-solo-expierence you get there

humble star
#

what are ideal blessings for combat blade on Psyker. Is bleed still a must for mercy killer? Or uncanny strike for rend.

safe crystal
#

Every time i get sustained fire T4 on a void strike, i die a little inside

#

It could've been literally anything else

#

But there it is

humble star
safe crystal
#

It does work, its terrible though

#

Its nowhere near transfer peril + flurry

#

I'd argue even surge + nexus is far above it

fading galleon
#

some unreleased stuff for you guys

twilit flicker
#

Looks great

#

The psyker needs some mad doctor outfit, or at least a smock

#

I really like the first one, the second makes me think this man is secretly a zealot

kind jay
#

wish we could disable the collar

safe crystal
#

You dont like the toilet seat?

twilit flicker
#

So I've heard that we're sanctioned psykers, do unsanctioned psykers not have the collar?

kind jay
#

if i want a toilet seat ill hop on warframe and play trinity

twilit flicker
#

No toilet seat for unsanctioned psykers?

lethal folio
#

Unsactioned Psykers get a bullet.

twilit flicker

I'll take the collar.

near wyvern
kind jay
#

(ill take the bullet)

honest frigate
#

isnt it called a psyker hood

near wyvern
#

Psycanal collar. 👀

honest frigate
#

i mean as far as i know, psykers that arent sanctioned go onto the so-called black ships to be used as fuel for the emperor's psychic shenanigans

#

unless im wrong because i was never a sweaty 40K fan and havent done all the research

west galleon
#

More drip i can only watch other people flex

olive ember
#

something something the collar helps with containing explosives

#

I forget lorewise if they are supposed to help with psychic powers, explosive suicide collars, or both but yeah

west galleon
#

Probably all of the above

#

I wonder how many psykers lost their heads because they sneezed wrong and someone (with a trigger to their collar) felt like thats how demonic posession begins

near wyvern
#

Well it's something gooey coming out of their nose so must be Nurgle's pawn

thank god psyker cosmetics are the worst ive ever seen ill never be tempted to spend money on cosmetics

thats true sadly

honest frigate

only good psyker cosmetics are the penance ones

vernal frost

psyker's penance set is by far the best one out of everything hes got

honest frigate

thats a good helmet if you enjoy the smell of your own incomparable mind

have you seen the drip zealot and vet got?

that shits crazy

the drippiest among them are also the worst

just saying how many gold skull vets and zealots are there that die immediately

After maining psyker for the last couple hundred hours I just found out my character is named 'bowl' in Russian. Lol. I named her after the Khan queen who founded Kislev.

my favorite psyker clothing is the black outfit in the armory shop, and either no hat or the one from the imperial edition

#

isnt it interesting how almost everyone given the chance will pick scars for their chars face? its like a deep cultural conditioning that we secretly admire a big face scar

olive ember
#

Also yeah idk why I never found scars appealing on my character and I leave my character without scars or tattoos typically

snow panther
#

what stats do you want on a purgatus staff?

olive ember
#

Burn and cloud radius most important

uneven drift
#

Burn(no less than 76)-Radius mostly.

snow panther
#

i have a burn 70 and cloud 75 but damage 31, is that decent? its blue

#

381

hybrid solstice
#

Damage is the dump stat

uneven drift
#

Damage no matter.

snow panther
#

sweet

uneven drift
#

It's a fine base, but try to fine with 76 burn one in future.

hybrid solstice
#

also dont look at a weapon's total rating, just look at the base stat total rating

snow panther
#

ok. and should i just be buying grey staffs to try and roll a decent base?

#

is that how it work

median elk
#

Greys and good greens

uneven drift
#

If you have spare ordos.

#

From brunt only greys, from shop whatever good base you'll find.

apparently there was going to be a tox grenadier. Kinda like how the flamer has a green tox flamer counter part

#

but right now its just legs

kind jay
#

thought he had a giant green nurgly dick for a sec

#

what he lacks in upper body strength he makes up for in girth

dusky bear
#

nope, just nurgle's left nut

There is a ranged plogryn

on a good team, i feel redundant as psyker unless im playing CC

gilded viper
#

That mean kick back and browse Twitter NODDERS

shut ether
lethal folio
#

Nurgle grenade lore is very silly. Nurgle likes his followers to keep count of all the disease kills, so the followers made giant abacuses using heads as counters, then nurgle daemons thought it looked cool and sent nurglings to steal the heads for their own collection.

holy shit

ornate hamlet
#

God, my finger hurt from mashing dodge that much tho

wide tiger
ornate hamlet
#

But yeah, I played with a veteran yesterday and the dude would annihilate 3 bulwarks like it was nothing, while I'd be charging 6 separate bursts unless I wanted to risk a FS heavy

wide tiger
#

full auto bolter?

ornate hamlet
#

Yep

wide tiger
#

yep it do be like that

ornate hamlet
#

Granted I also aided a lot against ranged by using deflector and kinetic somethingsomething to close the gap and abuse infinite dodges

#

Psyker is striking me as that one class that's really fun to do right, but takes a lot more effort for a worse result

#

Wanna clear a crowd, there's a flamer zealot that also has a heavy sword

#

Wanna kill elites, there's a bolter veteran ready to do it 5 times faster

#

Wanna snipe specials, you could do it faster yourself with a ranged weapon than with brain burst, even if burst is safer and guaranteed

#

I actually lost snipers to people despite casting the moment they show up

shut ether
#

But the thing is you can do all of that sucessfully whereas other classes might not have an answer to every threat.

ornate hamlet
#

Yeah, that's one of my solaces

drowsy wharf
#

And you need no ammo if you're running staves

ornate hamlet
#

I got a good block option with deflector and kinetic deez nuts, if my dodge game is on point I can just kite anything and brain burst with infinite ammo and the FS downright fucks

shut ether
#

I think we do need a more cannon in our glass cannon though

ornate hamlet
#

I think an animation cancel like the chainsword's special would go a nice way

#

With chainsword you just hit it and attack

#

With FS you have to sip some tea while the animation plays

shut ether
#

I don't run the FS but I'll be wiling to give the new one a try

ornate hamlet
#

I'd appreciate a FS with better horde clear on lights, basically a horde light and elite heavy combos

shut ether
#

For me the axe does the job very well

#

I also may be one of the few who does not run Kinetic Deflection

ornate hamlet
#

Right now Melk did me a funny, so I'm varying a bit

#

Oh yeah, which reminds me

kind jay
#

fs with bloodthirst + slaughter

ornate hamlet
#

Deflector should 100% work on revives and it sucks that it doesn't

kind jay
#

will horde clear on t5

shut ether
#

Deflector is super overrated

ornate hamlet
#

Well, it wouldn't be if it worked on revives chadogryn

#

Kinetic gives me basically a guaranteed revive on a horde, which is good part of why I take it

kind jay
#

it used to

ornate hamlet
#

i hate the diabetic dolphin

#

Also I feel like the exclusive weapon list on character creation might be a bit lying

#

Zealot has a shotgun along with the flamer, for example

#

Is the dueling sword a psyker thing? I'm too lazy to check

#

And by lazy I mean I have no characters

honest frigate
#

i never played vet but pretty sure the dueling swords arent available to zealot

#

so it might be psyker-only

#

Zealot has the turtolsky sword series

#

3 types as far as i know

worn cypress
#

it is a psyker only

valid fern
#

Worth buying?

#

If so, what should be re-rolled?

#

I havent played since the last patch but ive been keeping an eye out for surge staves

honest frigate
#

maybe warp flurry?

#

terrifying barrage is good tho

#

20% dmg to flag aswell

#

if you had a blessing that increases critical chance it'd be really good imo

#

but im no expert on this

valid fern
#

ty!

honest frigate
#

personally i never use surge because it has low dmg, i know its good for stunlocking and all that

#

it just doesnt seem to hold up well on damnation or heresy

long osprey
#

It’s OP to break shooter groups

#

As you can charge and slide while stunning them

#

You just need a melee weapon that has good horde clear

#

I personally use the catachan sword IV

valid fern
#

@honest frigate what staff do you use in damnation/heresy?

honest frigate
#

purgatus

#

it needs to have good rolls though

#

im still figuring that out

#

you could use voidstrike instead

#

i just dont like using it but the dmg it does is great

#

good for crowd control

long osprey
#

In throneside maps I like voidstrike as you are often in big open areas

leaden thunder
#

pretty much all the staves are pretty good

#

some need better stat roles then other ones

honest frigate
#

trauma staff is "okay"

#

surges only redeeming quality is stunning everything

#

voidstrike is great

#

purgatus too

leaden thunder
#

the two sides of psyker players

#

"surge is shit" and "surge is amazing s tier"

#

and there is no inbetween

long osprey
#

Lol

autumn lark
#

Forbidden side is gunpsyker

honest frigate
#

im probably saying this because i still use the force sword and not a melee weapon dedicated for crowd control

#

so i use a staff thats good at CC to compensate

long osprey
#

With purgatus i use the force sword too

wide tiger
#

I think all our staves are actually pretty bad

#

surge being particularly egregious

leaden thunder
#

I mean

#

fair enough

wide tiger
#

they all need damage bumps

valid fern
#

Anyone happen to know the go-to surge staff build?

leaden thunder
#

truma having reduced damage to pox walkers

#

is just

#

the dumbest thing

honest frigate
#

it does?

#

wtf

#

why

leaden thunder
#

with no warp charges

#

it won't 1 shot them on damn

#

now that changes with like

#

2-3 charges

long osprey
#

Wow didn’t notice that before, it’s pretty crappy imo

#

Especially since the staff is already tricky to use

kind jay
#

hmm hadron made this. think ill put blood on it and try the meme out

#

im sad it didnt get slaughter or blood would have been perfect

shut ether
#

Damn. Cucked by hadron

it would be weird otherwise

is warp nexus good on a purgatus?

shut ether
#

It's not only good sibling

#

It's necessary

wide tiger
#

well

#

its actually not good

#

but for lack of other options

#

yes its necessary

#

you got what, 5 options total

shut ether
#

If they would fix the threshholds it would be much better

wide tiger
#

when they fix nexus itll be good

#

yea

shut ether
#

We need more blessing options anyway. There really isn't a choice except for "Choose the ones your staff can actually use"

thats my crafting experience 9/10

stone pulsar
#

so err...does damage reduction perks on curios help with blocking with deflector?

honest frigate
#

such as?

stone pulsar
#

gunners

#

would it lower the stamina/peril cost per shot blocked.

honest frigate
#

oh i dont know about that

stone pulsar
#

ahhh. cuz i was wondering if the damage taken affects the amount of stamina needed to block attacks.

honest frigate
#

its a interesting thought

long wharf
#

oh lord, if FartShart doesn't get its shit together with Darktide by June, it'll have lost me

#

Diablo4 is really good

honest frigate
#

isnt diablo4 a completely different game

stone pulsar
#

eh its a different genre all together.

#

i did love diablo 3 though.

long wharf
#

while true, you are underestimating the nature of Diablo-like games

#

they suck you in, you don't play anything else at the same time

stone pulsar
#

i already have the division 2 lol

long wharf
#

and Diablo 4 has MMO mechanics (world events, world bosses, ad hoc cooperative play) on top of the world class graphics and story telling

stone pulsar
#

hmm sounds like division 2 for sure. open world with drop in and out co-op

long wharf
#

nope, D4 is going to own me like a cheap hooker on payday

honest frigate
#

diablo 4 cant compete with darktide when they play differently

#

if you like it, more power to you

near wyvern
#

why does this game hate me

honest frigate
#

Darktide has a long way to go tbh

long wharf
honest frigate
#

whatthefuck_heresy i see

stone pulsar
#

also...is there any reason to fully charge the surge staff? i like doing lightning killing.

near wyvern
#

First melk offers this

stone pulsar
#

i'm level 22 btw.

near wyvern
#

Now emperor gifted this

honest frigate
kind jay
#

full charge surge does WAY more than uncharged

#

test it in meat grind you can see

stone pulsar
#

though what i see the other psykers do is just spam minimum charge.

#

ah it increases stagger?

honest frigate
#

because the redeeming quality of surge staff is its stun ability

#

its not mainly used for its damage

#

you've got voidstrike for that

#

purgatus is good too

stone pulsar
#

i either do 50% charge or 100% change.

honest frigate
#

honestly i wish surge had more enemies affected by it at once

#

aka the more you charge, the more chained hits

#

i dont think thats what it does atm

#

nor is the chain amount all that great

stone pulsar
#

ah yeah. such a shame.

#

5 enemies i think?

honest frigate
#

yeah its not a lot

#

maybe a blessing/perk for that would be cool

#

or a weapon stat

stone pulsar
#

i do like it though. most specials end up not touching my team at all

honest frigate
#

i exclusively use the purgatus

#

being a warp flamethrower user feels too good

stone pulsar
#

i did notice its easier to kill flak gunners vs unarmoured gunners with the surge lol. guess flak armour has metal in it.

honest frigate
#

yes it appears the lighting affects armored targets more significantly

#

even better if you have a perk that increases damage against such targets

stone pulsar
#

how does the purgatus compare to the zealot flamer? i heard the flamer has more range?

idle bay
#

I know it's silly, but now i want it!

honest frigate
#

it seems so. but i havent played zealot enough to know for sure

#

nonetheless, purgatus has very decent range

#

you dont struggle often with it

stone pulsar
#

i tried out the trauma staff. it felt meh.

#

voidstrike is pretty fun.

honest frigate
#

advantage of purgatus is that it requires no ammo and you can keep shooting almost indefinitely

#

trauma stuff is the first staff you unlock when ranking up iirc

ornate hamlet
honest frigate
#

so im not surprised

ornate hamlet
#

*: within a reasonable time frame per elite

shut ether
#

I don't use Purgatus because I don't like blinding my team KEKW_ogryn

idle bay
ornate hamlet
#

Fair

wide tiger
#

erm depends on vets

ornate hamlet
#

At least then I'll be able to compete with the veteran as a psyker

shut ether
idle bay
wide tiger
#

lol

#

bad players be bad players, bad psykers are worse than any other class though

#

mostly because even a bad vet can powersword and shoot blindly to victory

#

bad psykers that do the "i only BB" thing

#

but never finish channeling their bb

idle bay
wide tiger
#

and have like 50k damage done

#

If i want to get elite kills on psyker i use guns

#

vraks mkIII is a great gun to delete everything

idle bay
ornate hamlet
#

I'm using uhhh

#

Revolver and laspistol

idle bay
#

If you want kills you go with Vraks III

ornate hamlet
#

I didn't vibe with the bigger guns and the autopistol is kinda busted

#

Oh, I want to be a magic ogryn that weighs a third

idle bay
ornate hamlet
#

Big guy has shield, I have funny blue energy

Sad thing about me - is FUN for me is to score shitloads of kills 🙂 So i play boring builds.

if you want damage void and trauma are the weapons of choice

if you want aoe damage, void and trauma are the weapons of choice :p

I wish primary fire on staves was more responsive

t4 flurry trauma is incredibly fast and with 6 stacks inner tranq and enough mobs your 10% chance for quell is enough to cast endlessly

yesterday I finally decided to craft a knife, got lucky with blessings but not so much with perks and ran out of crafting mats again - it's missing 5% crit perk but otherwise I'm having a lot of fun, definitely interesting change of dynamics compared to BM+LS Antax

I just have to ask, what's the attack pattern for having both Lacerate and Mercy Killer when you're in a crowd? Do you just move your head in a circle so you get up and down, and left and right?

What are considered best weapons?

final bay
#

the ones you can stand to run for hundreds of hours and not get bored of the patterns

lilac tapir
# north cradle I just have to ask, what's the attack pattern for having both Lacerate and Mercy...

Speaking strictly for myself I use the knife to quickly get out of the crowd (it's movement/dodge combined with heavy attack animation charge move is crazy) and switch back to Purg which is much better at clearing crowds. I feel like the Lacerate and Mercy Killer combo is mostly when you have to quickly melee a special or elite (or for the mission specific bosses since they are flak and knife gets their shield down in no time).

final bay
spice veldt
#

for ranged, Purg. For melee, it's more of a tossup

final bay
#

Taxe/caxe/force/duelling have all been good in my experience for different reasons. Staff wise I'd probably lean into void or flamer, but not like any of them are really bad tbh. Then there's the gun psyker builds. :v)

near wyvern
timid storm
# late yew What are considered best weapons?

For range, IMO all are good. Purg is the safest bet, but if you have 2 zealots with flamers void is great. Trauma is good if you need damage + some horde clear, and surge is decent at everything but IMO feels weak if your team doesnt have all the bases covered somewhat

leaden thunder
#

purge is mechanically the strongest

#

but all staves are usable

kind jay
#

i love surge. if flurry ever gets fixed i think surge will be so busted

feral verge

Seconded that purga is Mechanically the strongest, especially when paired with ascendant blaze

shut ether
#

What do you mean "Mechanically" the strongest?

olive ember
steel flame
# late yew What are considered best weapons?

The shredder auto pistol is also stupid good on psyker right now. If you can roll pinning fire and blaze away it will kill everything in a room in seconds, specials and elite die as fast as mobs. Those blessings can also power up your soulblaze stacks by alot if you decide to roll with the fire ult

spice veldt

I mean I'm not going to be assed to calculate their area

fierce sinew
#

I don't think much calculation is necessary to be able to say the area of cone is greater than that of a line

olive ember
#

Go calculate madge

#

We just need the radius

shut ether
#

Darktide players when there is no reason to get into the numbers

olive ember
#

Since height is 16m

spice veldt
#

not sure if the cone's tip (from the player) is 0 radius since I haven't used it in a hot while

olive ember
#

Radius refers to the base

#

The circular base of cone

lethal folio
#

Vermintide flamethrower was like that

fierce sinew
#

being an engine for AB is another thing that distinguishes purg mechanically that some people (still, somehow) seem not to understand

olive ember
#

Actually do we know if it’s a circular base

spice veldt
#

I'm talking about the conal hitbox as it extends from the player

#

as in I'm saying it's not an actual cone but a truncated one with the tip lopped off

#

no idea where the tip starts and yaddi yadda

olive ember
spice veldt
#

ooh nice

fierce sinew
#

I'll proc damage voicelines though walls, elevator doors, etc and get chat about it still

lilac tapir
#

and left click staggers almost everything else so you can spam it in a pinch allowing your team to clear anything that didn't die before

fierce sinew
#

killing things completely irrespective of map geometry is something the other classes don't really get to do

#

and other loadouts don't get to do much

kind jay
#

that's the wrong formula man

#

use that one

feral verge
#

Purga lmb can be spam cast faster with the quell tech

spice veldt
#

there was one time when an enemy was stuck in a closet and I had to kill him with the outer radius of my trauma staff

fierce sinew
#

also for simplicity's sake you can chop a whole dimension off and treat purg AoE as a proper (trapezoidal) area rather than a cone

olive ember
#

Can’t ya just melee

#

Melee ignores walls n stuff

fierce sinew
#

and get a meaningful comparison still

spice veldt
#

prob easier to compare that against the AoE of trauma/void

But mah verticality

Well you spam half charges and uncharged a lot so

Warp flurry would just complement it

safe crystal
#

Flurry reduces peril generation, since its based on the time you spend charging, so theres that

olive ember
#

^^Means you can full charge in the same time or half charge in less time

#

more damage or less peril gain, activated by using a surge staff naturally as you already use uncharged/half charge spam

i get the pain but as soon as he said it that way it was hard not to go after his BB's

spice veldt

the art of killing elites is to invest resources into enemies that you are sure to kill

such as bodyblocking your teammates bullets or going for enemies behind cover

looks fine; use it if it's better than the other trauma staffs you've got. I personally prefer a 60 dmg and 80 everything else split, but the charge rate and blast radius are high enough so it's good nuff

but of course, you end up becoming yourself

stable silo

whats the perks u should aim for fer the trauma ?

spice veldt

my personal preference is +unarmoured and +flak for an anti-dreg/scab staff

viral solstice
#

one of them gotta be flak

#

because theres so much flak beef

stable silo
#

dang which should i reroll lol the specialist one?

spice veldt

I would prioritize +unarmoured for dreg bruisers

viral solstice
#

and i bet theres an argument for flak/ unarmoured or elites

#

depending on what 10% elites buys u

#

for breakpoints

spice veldt
#

but you could go for +flak if you hate scab/dreg gunners/shotgunners

viral solstice
#

if it gives u some one shots u dont otherwise get could be cool

spice veldt

since dreg gunners/shotgunners are also flak

no more will those risible gunners of shot darken our doorsteps

but if u were REALLY cool

u would run warp nexus and 5% crit instead of 10% elites
