psyker-class

[hollow current]

I think uncanny + rampage or Shred is what people use.

[pine merlin]

ok, I never used those so wasn't sure if it was worth melting the blessing

[gilded viper]

I mean, not like you're using the weekly currency otherwise

I never buy anything from melk, never gives anything good

[pine merlin]

true, but my FOMO for a t4 Deflect showing up...

[gilded viper]

You're gonna be sitting on the fomo till the heat death of the universe

[pine merlin]

lol

true true.

ok doing it

[leaden thunder]

no it will show up but only after you don't have the money to buy it

such is the rule of melk

[gilded viper]

I wouldn't mind t4 Slaughterer or Bloodthirsty to show up, maybe with more Force Swords getting added to the weapon pool, the odds for those blessings will improve

[pine merlin]

i mean it's happened once before....

is he actually murphy

[gilded viper]

It's the desire sensor from Monster Hunter fame, need 5 Rath Marrow, tough, but once you get it, you get like 80 of it

and you never need it ever again

[safe crystal]

Please no, it took me 600 hours of killing tempered/arch tempered elders in MHW to get a single guard up decoration

I was really close to just dropping lance

[gilded viper]

I never used Lance or any other shield weapon and I got 2

But Power Extender? Forget about ittt

[safe crystal]

I had so many bow charge ups

[near gale]

It's the fabled gun that's supposed to be the way gunpsykers get toughness back!

[olive ember]

Holy shit

Amazing

[olive ember]

Don’t you wanna play some mhr

They also have funny rng crafting system

Think about all the qurious crafting you could do!

[safe crystal]

Eh, i already got lucky on it,so

[olive ember]

.> screw you my luck is shit

[safe crystal]

Playing LBG and rolled pierce up on the belt and rapid fire up on boots

[olive ember]

I need buildup boost

It’s so aids

Losing a flat like 3% dmg buff because rng hates me

[safe crystal]

Just waiting for new mons to be added before i start banging my head into the wall in MHR again

Playing a challenge run on MHW instead

[olive ember]

You beat risen valstrax?

[safe crystal]

Yah

[olive ember]

Damn

[near gale]

Does the autopistol work on the psyker? Just asking... for a friend >.>

[kind jay]

shredder is good on anything

[twilit flicker]

just give it pinning fire or blaze away and you should be good, ideally both.

[restive slate]

Autopistol with Pinning Fire blessing and Blaze Away especially boosts Soulblaze damage... My Ascendant Blaze ult can wreck gunners without 6 warp charges it's so good

I really want that Bloodthirsty blessing to pair with my Soulblaze on Crit FS

[twilit flicker]

Is Skullcrusher any good on the Catachan sword? I know the swords themselves are kinda meh ...

[ashen laurel]

does the Warp Nexus blessing (gain crit chance based on current level of peril work for the purgatus force staff? Someone told me it cant crit?

[olive ember]

It can it’s flurry that’s broken

Well nexus is broken too but you still gain crit

[ashen laurel]

what blesings do i want on it

[olive ember]

On purge staff you want nexus + terrifying barrage

[safe crystal]

For purgatus right now, nexus and then whatever.

[ashen laurel]

ok thanks

[olive ember]

Assuming they fix the warp flurry you would want to run flurry

But flurry is broke rn

The problem with nexus is the thresholds. Currently cuz devs can’t check their code for nexus, what we got is +5/10/15/20% crit (assuming t4 nexus) at 30/50/97/97 peril

This means that realistically you will only ever benefit up to +10% crit from nexus because the last two stacks are only gained a 97% peril

But +10% is still 10%

[ashen laurel]

hmm okay, thank you

[olive ember]

Ngl I fucking hated the beam staff in VT2 lmao

[lethal folio]

Vt1 was better

[cyan notch]

i liked beam u can shotgun hordes snipe specials and dps monsters

[willow hazel]

It may actually be Psyker's best weapon

[olive ember]

It works… I would not call it psykers best weapon

Just one of many

[willow hazel]

As far as damage numbers go it's the best. It's also fantastic vs. shooters which is important.

[olive ember]

I mean it’s gonna get nerfed

Everyone is using it from vets to zealots so yea

[willow hazel]

Yeah it's definitely too strong

[velvet crescent]

psyker ult im still figuring out

when do you pop it?

[olive ember]

Whenever you want

That’s the great thing about Psyker ult

I use it liberally for wte I want

[kind jay]

depends what youre trying to do

if you have kinetic barrage, you could save it for when you need to mass bb

[olive ember]

Horde mobs getting to close? Press F. Ranged mobs need to be stunned while I run to cover? Press F. Need to kill a bunch of ogryns? Press F. Need to run away or create space? Press F

[kind jay]

if you use AB, pop it when you have stacks/buffs

you can also use it to spam staff secondaries past 100% and save yourself from blow up

all 3 of them cancel perils

[void reef]

got my psyker to 30 and trying to get the heresy penances

5 teams willing to let me solo a boss

5 missions with no boss spawns

of all the challenges i thought i would have with malleus monstronum, finding a boss was not one

[olive ember]

Oof

[void reef]

had some dhs but without a shield ogryn i ain't starting that

though i did kill one (teammate did too much damage to it) on silo cluster because i found a spot that soft locked it

[blazing oak]

Just tried to do a bit of light rp by calling the psyker a witch and then the entire team flamed me

[spice veldt]

f

[void reef]

then i gotta see about pick and mix, but i feel like with luck i might be able to get that one playing normally

[olive ember]

Maybe if you have rly bad teammates

[pearl lion]

Beam staff ruled for a while, then it got nerfed

[blazing oak]

The relay throneside mission

[cyan notch]

rp is cringe

@ all ogryns

[pearl lion]

Cringing at people having harmless fun is cringe

[cyan notch]

🤓

i had harmless fun with your mom

[pearl lion]

That's nice

[cold geode]

i feel like the mission board is trolling me at this point, i need fucking books and its all grims no scripts

[rotund crystal]

I feel like the seer psyker loves the emperor more than I love my gf

[cold geode]

probably

[rotund crystal]

That makes me feel... jealous

[wide tiger]

the loner psyker talks shit about the emp all day long

[spice veldt]

wait till you see the seer psyker

[rotund crystal]

The seer I meant

my bad

[spice veldt]

you'll take that corruption with your chin

[cold geode]

then a level 20 joins, grabs a grim, doesnt take healing stations, dies

and so i only get 1 fucking grim

[rotund crystal]

damn I just thought of something, the wh40k fanbase is wild dude

look at the people boosting the server, you got "Pancake" "Mommy" "Sneaky cat"

One could think that it would all be hardcore fan with like space marine and stuff

[near gale]

how's this for base stats on the voidstrike staff?

[kind jay]

emperor gave me a trauma with rending 4

but i dont even like trauma

[spice veldt]

you bastard

i don't like rending shockwave tho so I'm fine with that

[spice veldt]

looks fine but the quell speed makes me very sad

as usual, use it if it's better than any other staff you've got

[austere estuary]

hoooo boy

most glad I've been of this mod

[cold geode]

ugh yea, one night it took 680+ attempts for me

rending shockwave 4 is in my melk right now... but getting it will zero out my melk bux and i wanted to have some saved for the patch.... hrmmmm

[rare furnace]

So new forcesword 🗡️ will have finesse swaped with penetration?

[cold geode]

oh it will penetrate all rite

[rare furnace]

Since it’s thrust

Eviser has cleave instead of finesse

and it’s the big boy version

[spice veldt]

i imagine it's still going to still have finesse

since the Obscurus already has rather good armour modifiers

unless they lean really hard into the single-target aspect

stab attacks tend to be good against non-armoured damage types (see the damage table of Force Sword's 3rd light and duelling sword stabs)

[rare furnace]

I hope it has better warp resistance values ands. Good special since on all stuffs it’s better to have warp quell rather than resistance

You know swapping to quell but not so much

[lethal folio]

So far the new force sword has the same attributes as the old one

[stable silo]

anyone know the build for voidstrike staff ?

[lethal folio]

but four attacks in the light chain instead of three.

[spice veldt]

oh?

[rare furnace]

ITS BIG AND POINTY THOUGHH. Stubu stub

[spice veldt]

that changes things up

i wonder which lights the heavies will chain into

oh hmm i wonder if the lights are going to be a bunch of fast stabs

if they're going to have 4 lights

[rare furnace]

It has one attack like eviserstor probably but from opposite side

[lethal folio]

I can tell you - but this is all subject to change.

[steel egret]

Oh boy I get to collect blessings for it

[rare furnace]

I’m stacked on 80k gold

[spice veldt]

i'd like some hopium, so do tell me at your own discretion

[rare furnace]

And crafting mat

[cyan notch]

source?

[rare furnace]

For 2 legend

[steel egret]

Dream

[stable silo]

is voidstrike build 1/2/3/1/1/3 ?

[rare furnace]

Ok so an old trailer that showed a nanosecond of this weapon did revers evsier patern and then changes frame

[lethal folio]

Heavy 1 is attack_swing_heavy_stab

[rare furnace]

I think third attack will be horizontal

[spice veldt]

fuck, no h1 to start the hordeclear combo (if it even exist) :(

[lethal folio]

Heavy 2 is the same as the old one

[rare furnace]

Yeah and you can’t reset with damage it’s gonna have the magic push hand…

[spice veldt]

oh well that's pretty nice

so it's similar to the trailer then

[rare furnace]

They need to pump damage meter so it doesn’t matter to do smart combo

[rare furnace]

How do you know?

[lethal folio]

It's all in the source code.

And as I said, subject to change

[cyan notch]

it came to me in a dream

[rare furnace]

Changes might be good

Do you think the same blessings of force sword but with better values?

[lethal folio]

The light chain doesn't have any suggestions of stabs.

So it might really end up being just better for hordes too.

[restive slate]

As long as there's a good horde clear combo

Really want it to be like Kerillian Greatsword

[rare furnace]

Maybe light patern good

[ornate hamlet]

Give psyker elf greatsword and zealot Kruber's executioner

Game fixed

[forest coral]

give psykers elf weapons

[cyan notch]

https://tenor.com/view/50cent-smile-driving-oh-well-im-out-gif-5135974

[forest coral]

so i can spear things in the back

[restive slate]

Bolt Staff?

[spice veldt]

noooo not the light combo hordeclear with 2 cleave
well, the 2nd heavy exists I suppose

i would assume that they're going to change something up with the 1st light

[stable silo]

hows the gunker with laspistol ?

[fierce sinew]

I now have t4 warp nexus for trauma as well as surge, purg nowhere to be seen

melk is mocking me

[forest coral]

kinda mid

[ornate hamlet]

ur mid

[idle bay]

Two devil's claw swords (one with 370+) other with t4 Blessings - Melk always pleased to add to daily trash.
Even adding a Force sword or staff, even low stats with t3 - no never!

We need a massive peition to remove Devil's claw swords from psykers and make them Vet exclusive 🙂

[golden tartan]

@viral solstice gib ur devil claw parry vids

[steel flame]

It's pretty good when built for crits

You really need to be hitting those headshots to get value though so it's pretty high effort. I would roll for maniac damage and crit chance. For blessings youll want reassuring accuracy, ghost or infernus

You have a 25% crit chance so it's decent at topping up your toughness, inferno triggers a lot with that crit chance, however crits tend to kill mobs so it's better on targets like bosses and ogryns, ghost can be a better alternative for you since you can poke more with ranged immunity as long as you are hitting headshots

[mellow dock]

Guys what blessings am I looking for on the Blaze force sword?

[kind jay]

bloodthirsty and slaughter

[spice veldt]

slaughterer is the blessing to prioritize if you want to use the force sword for hordeclear or making space

[lunar hollow]

why tf is the FS moveset so bricked

[mellow dock]

No deflector?

and how is blazing spirit?

[spice veldt]

i won't recommend deflector if you know to dodge slide and all that

[lunar hollow]

you cant even do like you can on the mk 7 taxe where you chain a heavy horizontal into a light and back into a heavy horizontal

[spice veldt]

blazing spirit is very meh

[mellow dock]

gotcha

[spice veldt]

you can block cancel the force sword comb

light -> heavy -> block and reset back to the 1st light

[lunar hollow]

yeah

[mellow dock]

gotcha

[spice veldt]

or QQ cancel

[mellow dock]

ty!

[spice veldt]

of course, if you like to play into ranged enemies aggressively and avoid getting punished for it, deflector is a fine option

[lunar hollow]

i tried block canceling but doing that mid fight and trying to play around the fragility of psyker made me fuck it up a lot

i forgot about QQ

[brazen basalt]

so that you'd feel the sophistication of wizard sword. it's not some piece of rusty rebar that you can swing like a bat. it takes a superior mind to make use of it.

[spice veldt]

block cancelling is more reliable to me than QQ for the most part

since weapon swap inputs can get dropped with disastrous consequences

[mellow dock]

Ive been running deflector alot

[lunar hollow]

true

[mellow dock]

and it really comes in handy sometimes

[lunar hollow]

i have shit connection though

[olive ember]

deflector is just nice to cover for you if some shooters show up randomly

[mellow dock]

yep exactly

[lunar hollow]

any kind of canceling often times doesnt work

[mellow dock]

ive gotten out of some extremely sticky situations with it

[spice veldt]

i ran deflector until I got the bloodthirsty blessing at around 500 hours of psyker

since the other offensive blessings are indeed kind of meh for psyker

[lunar hollow]

how tf do you play psyker for 500 hours

[mellow dock]

i dont have bloodthirsty yet

[lunar hollow]

i enjoy the class but like

its such a fucking struggle to me

to do anything

[spice veldt]

i like managing peril and keeping my attention constantly occupied during fights

[brazen basalt]

how does it work? auto crit just for the next attack?

[mellow dock]

what kind of perks am i looking for on the sword arco?

[spice veldt]

guaranteed crits on all attacks for 5 seconds after a special kill

[olive ember]

5 seconds of free crit on special kill

its honestly kinda meh, use it at the start to help gain slaughterer stacks

[spice veldt]

for me, +maniac is the perk to prioritize for Mutants and Dreg Ragers

and the second perk is whatever you feel that you're struggling with

[olive ember]

special kill as in a kill using a special attack

[spice veldt]

flak, carapce, etc.

[mellow dock]

gotcha

ty for the advice

[spice veldt]

bloodthirsty covers up the force sword's weakness of having a low initial damage, so I would personally go with carapace for my particular force sword

[olive ember]

just run either slaughterer + deflector or slaughterer + bloodthirsty

[spice veldt]

but you might want something else on your particular force sword and playstyle

[mellow dock]

yup i need to get bloodthirsty unlocked

ive had a bunch of swords

never had bloodthirsty yet on it

[spice veldt]

it's t4 only so it's ridiculously rare

[mellow dock]

I dont have even T1 yet unlocked

[spice veldt]

f

[mellow dock]

ill keep an eye on it though

incase melks ever sells it

ty

@spice veldt what Curios do you prioritize with your Psyker?

[spice veldt]

I have at least one HP curio for the occasional rainy days and when I get dinked by a sniper

I take one toughness curio so that I can poke at ranged enemies for longer before needing to go back to cover

I take +stam because I don't run Kinetic Deflection, and the Force Sword has a low max stamina and a terrible block cost

[forest coral]

I stack hp with some minor points into tough regen/ base toughness to tank a single poxwalker melee hit or shooter volley.

[spice veldt]

curios are a bit left up to your personal discretion, but I do recommend at least one HP curio for the rainy days

[olive ember]

I run two hp and then a wound curio

[spice veldt]

the perks are especially left up to your discretion, though Toughness Regeneration Speed is always good

[olive ember]

the wound curio is when I get downed for garbo reasons

[forest coral]

ye

I don't like the idea of being downed at all so I avoid wounds as much as i can generally. I usually like staying within coherency so hp seems to do most in my case for playstyle

how is toughness on psyker now anyway

It felt really bad initially before the reworks

[fierce sinew]

it's still pretty bad

[forest coral]

ah wells, hp stackin it is

[spice veldt]

if snipers didn't exist or my reaction time was faster, I would replace my hp curio with toughness

[fierce sinew]

if I had a million dollars I'd be a millionaire

[forest coral]

in a perfect world, a poxwalker wouldnt randomly spawn and smack my ass without a sound cue

but this isnt a perfect world

[fierce sinew]

really though if you don't get hit it obviously doesn't matter, and the amount you need to get hit before the multipliers in damnation put hp ahead of toughness isn't much

the band of hit taking where toughness curios help is just incredibly narrow and specific

[spice veldt]

the toughness is moreso for poking ranged enemies

and while I like to abuse the ranged dmg reduction mechanic, I'm too lazy to set up a timer to properly make use of it

so I'd rather just rely on toughness

[forest coral]

I think its just the way that too many things shred tough, even with curios specced on it

[spice veldt]

at the same time, toughness regenerates

if I was playing with a team that knew how to hold W, i'd run HP

but some teams can have extremely horrendous DPS (cough cough psyker teams)

[fierce sinew]

I just stack hp and don't take toughness for granted

[forest coral]

ye

[fierce sinew]

4 AB psykers is the highest dps comp in the game low key

omega cheese, yes

[forest coral]

only in high intense tbh

[fierce sinew]

yeah

hi 5 specifically

[spice veldt]

damn AB ult every 7.5 seconds

[forest coral]

regular psykers do not hold a candle to what vet and zealots can pull off for scoreboards

[fierce sinew]

when everybody AB aura-ing it's a meme and a dream

[spice veldt]

but i shall keep kinetic barrage close and dear to my heart

[fierce sinew]

this still isn't true

it's really just bolter

specifically bolter

[forest coral]

bolter, autopistols, brautos

[spice veldt]

just looking at the scoreboard, bolters don't really get that much damage output anyhow

[fierce sinew]

bolter is the only thing I get outdamaged by regularly

[spice veldt]

using the trauma staff just for clearing bruisers/shooters gets me an equivalent damage output because of the amount of enemies I can hit

[forest coral]

again thats only hi intense i will agree for that

[fierce sinew]

pinning fire bolter into thick mixed horde with either zealot or vet actives specifically

[spice veldt]

ah that's true that god damn top feat on vet

[fierce sinew]

hi 5 is the real game, the rest is for leveling and laughs with friends

[spice veldt]

ruining my chance to shine against scab ragers

[forest coral]

vets running autopistols easily hitting 350k+ with counterfire builds

usually psyker will need high intense hordes to get that opportunity

[fierce sinew]

you should be putting that up with purg

(vet) autopistol is about on par with purg in my experience

it's only ever bolters where I look at the scoreboard after like "damn nice"

[forest coral]

Well, ye

Dont think anything comes quite close to bolters outside of flamethrowers and ab builds lol

Or just busy shooter maps with said counterfire vet

[fierce sinew]

that's really the problem, people talk like psyker is weaker and it really isn't, psyker meta is just narrower

[forest coral]

i treat psyker like sienna from VT honestly

the harder the content the more insane she is

[fierce sinew]

your choices if you want to play the good version of the class are just fewer

[forest coral]

but lower end she will always feel mid

[spice veldt]

single-target ranged dps pl0x

[fierce sinew]

at the very low still leveling end it's also pretty close I think, just that area in the middle that's underwhelming

[forest coral]

low end ye, they felt ok

id say psyker levelling was most awful between 15-25

[fierce sinew]

I agree I think

I've been leveling up more psykers for melk rolls and I'm not even an especially gifted player but I've seen some goofy scoreboards

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/444779944510226434/1086870920049721364/darktide_scoreboard_3.18.23.jpg

just random ones I have in discord still

[spice veldt]

just knowing how to hold W can rack up your damage output

[fierce sinew]

80% of the playerbase are just

bots

[spice veldt]

vets who hang back instead of using their power sword to the fullest

i especially notice it on low intensity games where I shouldn't reasonably get high damage outputs, but the fact that my team hangs back so much tends to feed the kills and damage to me (and there being more space to make use of the force sword special)

[fierce sinew]

I limit test with bb at the beginning of maps sometimes

[wide tiger]

i lose out on a lot of damage because i full loot 😦

[fierce sinew]

like I pick a guy in the front and see how long it takes my team to steal it

[spice veldt]

i don't bother looting because my teammates just trail me for whatever reason

if they're going to waste time exploring a side path when I'm already doing that, then I'm just going to hold W

[stable silo]

for voidstrike warp flurry and transfer is the blessings right?

[spice veldt]

yup

[stable silo]

what u think is more worth lol lvl 1 flurry or lvl 3 blazing

[spice veldt]

ehhhhhhhhh, flurry since it's more consistent

voidstrike has no extra crit chance without perks or Warp Nexus so it's just 5% crit by default

[forest coral]

In a perfect world, blazing with have greater sync with voidstrike

[spice veldt]

alas :(

[forest coral]

as would forcesword to become a flame sword

[spice veldt]

literally called "blaze sword"

:(

[forest coral]

ikr

We get discount fire sword if we slap that on

@viral solstice my new purpose in life is to spread eviscerator propaganda

[velvet crescent]

Surge staff unlocked, what's its job

[steel egret]

Stun and go thru walls and kill occasionally.

[forest coral]

kills flaks pretty good too

but main job, make elites have a case of disability

https://streamable.com/2e109d

[velvet crescent]

does charging it up to full do anything?

[cyan notch]

more damage

[velvet crescent]

rog

[forest coral]

trauma is kind of better in hi intense tho, surge is pretty weak in dense hordes

only zaps like 5 targets by default iirc and needs to crit for some extra stun

[spice veldt]

it zaps more than 5, but the targeting is finicky and out of your control

[forest coral]

ye

and damage falloff from first target is pretty big

[velvet crescent]

roger

Trauma is cringe

https://tenor.com/view/moistcritikal-leaving-meme-gif-23706301

[twilit badger]

🔥

[wide tiger]

in the year 40,000, surge is that staff i carry around like a taser for stranger danger

[forest coral]

Me casually surging the toddler who entered my personal space

[wide tiger]

I'm a strong, confident psyker, who can dress any way he wants and shouldnt have to fear for his safety in a parking garage

[twilit badger]

Surge is honestly great but one thing i dislikes about is that

It doesn't prioritizes elites and specials when they are mixed with chaffs

Completely random sort of

[forest coral]

its dumb like that

[wide tiger]

it also doesnt always CC all the targets, but who cares about that

[forest coral]

its why i say trauma is better in hi intense

can actually control what gets floored

and actually kill some of the horde in groups

[twilit badger]

🤔

Trauma staff is the least favorite of all staffs for me tbh

[wide tiger]

Eh trauma does damage though

Surge is the pacifists staff

[twilit badger]

CC is amazing tho

Also can mess up bulwarks easily

It kills flak armored enemies very very well too

[forest coral]

yes but unreliable the more dense hordes become

[wide tiger]

Yeah but you know what else fucks up bulwarks

[viral solstice]

literally everything

[wide tiger]

Your baseline grenade ability

[viral solstice]

yeah surge is just a meme really

it has one ( 1) unique good thing

mutants

which is admittedly hilarious

when they get tased and lose their shit

[twilit badger]

Only if psyker had grenades

[viral solstice]

but otherwise surge is just having half a player in return for minor cc

[wide tiger]

Crabs will fuck you up too. Ever try to hold a riot shield and scratch your junk

Pretty impossible

[viral solstice]

but they are killing so little that the cc in effect is simply replacing the enemies

an actual weapon would have killed

its so obviously bad idk how the meme it was good for damnation started other than i guess its very easy to feel like ur doing something

no mercy

[wide tiger]

Damn you didn't pull any punches

[viral solstice]

is time to booli

i had 6 hours of sleep

[wide tiger]

I was trying to be kinda slow burn into it

[viral solstice]

im charged up

slow burn? thats purg staff

this is more like emperor palpatine except instead of killing shit he just yells EXTREMELY LIMITED POWER and tases 6 poxwalkers for 12 seconds

[olive ember]

Surge is good

[spice veldt]

the size of patrols are conveniently about the same size of the trauma staff's epicentre

[twilit badger]

Compensate it with soulburn ult i guess

[wide tiger]

I think surge staff needs more buffs than any other weapon, even ogryn shield. There I said it

[olive ember]

you arent using it properly smh

[spice veldt]

if you can be the first to engage with ranged enemies, you can just annihilate patrols before they get a chance

[twilit badger]

The constant CC on multiple elites/specials can be quite valuable

In clutch moment

[wide tiger]

It can

But

[viral solstice]

opportunity cost

it does... something

[wide tiger]

You're giving up so much for that unicorn

[viral solstice]

but everything u take does... something

except devil claw

[spice veldt]

u can sometimes parry ragers :D

[viral solstice]

and i take that shit so really who is the impostor

um ill have u know ive done the training

i can ALWAYS parry ragers

[wide tiger]

What needs buffs more claw or surge

[viral solstice]

so long as they are willing to honour the 1v1 and give me some space to limber up

[spice veldt]

ok show me a 10 hour marathon of you parrying ragers perfectly

[viral solstice]

get in the headzone

[wide tiger]

Claw can cc entire horde kinda op

[viral solstice]

actually parrying them in a game is incredibly easy

[spice veldt]

hammerblow op

[viral solstice]

because u just parry the first hit

space the second

dont even bother looking at what theyre doing

and then u just base whether or not u bother re-engaging on the third move in the sequence

where its just a yes no

brainlet algorithm

but zero swag

[wide tiger]

What if you're fighting like 6 ragers

[olive ember]

even if I were to give up the surge staff

I would merely be returning to the OG

[viral solstice]

u just trigger the attacks and fight them by hitting them in the head

[olive ember]

the Trauma staff

I will never use the memestrike

[viral solstice]

but realistically

[olive ember]

https://tenor.com/view/magde-mad-peepo-gif-19246416

[viral solstice]

if ur fighting 6 ragers in melee ur life has taken a wrong turn

[wide tiger]

Trauma is really solid

[olive ember]

I guess my life takes a wrong turn every fucking game

[viral solstice]

[wide tiger]

Have you tried an antax v push attack spam vs 6 ragers

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

tried doing it on vet

[viral solstice]

ah yes

[wide tiger]

It's funny to knock them all over

[olive ember]

ran out of stam

[viral solstice]

the 30 second kill option

powerful

[wide tiger]

It's about asserting dominance over 6 ragers

[viral solstice]

did u know antax 5 push attack kills poxwalkers slower than a all or nothing rashad without brutal momentum

amazing facts

antax 5 push attack has the same level of horde clear as knife left clicks

absolutely based

[summer prairie]

a bit better if you hit the 1-hit bp but yeah

[viral solstice]

i tried to find something slower for killing multiple enemies

[wide tiger]

Usually at that point it's about living rather than killspeed

[olive ember]

lets queue

4 man psyker

[viral solstice]

but its hard

[olive ember]

I'll show you how amazing the surge staff is

yep yep

Boiled Water.........

[viral solstice]

[cyan notch]

try idk other combat axe push attacks or chainsword push attack

[forest coral]

water is just unprocessed pee

dont @formal raptor

oh

oops

[viral solstice]

chainsword push attack would be slower for killing multiple enemies BUT it does apply bleed multiple times

[wide tiger]

I would do 4 man psyker but is bedtime. But I'd definitely like to try one of each staff run another day

[olive ember]

Devil Claw mk 7 push attack only

[viral solstice]

which is a Feature

[olive ember]

its truly amazing

[viral solstice]

that would fuck

no question

if the devil claw is op

[spice veldt]

tsk tsk

[viral solstice]

imagine how good the push attack must be

[formal raptor]

[forest coral]

im sorry

[viral solstice]

also if ur a push enjoyer

[olive ember]

welcome

[viral solstice]

have u tried headtaker 4 heavy sword with punishment on zealot

[formal raptor]

[viral solstice]

ur push will literally open multiple bulwarks

u dont even need to do the attack after just to show ur trying u can press an actually good attack button

[wide tiger]

Stab looks cool tho

[viral solstice]

imagine if u could use it without wasting stamina and time

that would be crazyyy

[wide tiger]

Hs already crazy

[viral solstice]

no its SANE

VERY SANE

[wide tiger]

Needs to be in psyker weapon pool so I can braindead melee

[viral solstice]

theyre not sending turtle back to the asylum

look

[wide tiger]

We need that horde clear weapon for when momentum gets turned into dev strike

[viral solstice]

they should nerf the heavy sword lights on every mark

[wide tiger]

Cept ix

🙂

[viral solstice]

and i will just continue to use the cool heavies on heavy sword VI because they let me feel like my hero naruto from the hit anime boruto

[cyan notch]

maybe consider nerfing the ultra omega buffed blessings on heavy sword too idk maybe

[viral solstice]

um what are u talking about 75% passive power is good and normall

[wide tiger]

Nah give em slaughterer

[viral solstice]

having only one blessing slot on a weapon is a sign blessings are working

smh confused gamer

[wide tiger]

Really crank that shit up

[cyan notch]

they already have slaughterer

[viral solstice]

just multiply it by 10

[cyan notch]

except u just need hits

[viral solstice]

nono

what it has is slaughterer

slaughtererer

yeeeee

[spice veldt]

idk 75% is a very small number

only 0.75

[viral solstice]

slaughterest

but u know what they say

u cant spell slaughter

without laughter

[spice veldt]

:D

[cyan notch]

u cant spell slaughter without augh

[viral solstice]

i still have no idea why they special cased headtaker

instead of just making the heavy sword have normal base states

stats

and normal headtaker

like they had to go out of their way to fuck the weapon up

just why

[cyan notch]

too little cleave

[viral solstice]

if only

there was some way

to set the cleave in the code

but their hands were tied

[wide tiger]

Same reason fs gets crappy slaughterer and psword gets good one

[viral solstice]

just gotta crank up the headtaker

[spice veldt]

2 seconds waaaaa

[void relic]

I've been trying to get the two heresy level psyker penances for a while now

[spice veldt]

malleus and bang?

[void relic]

yea

closest I got was 4 elites down in 12 seconds

[spice veldt]

oh pick n mix

commsplex's midevent is a good one

[void relic]

my issue is teammates more than anything

[twilit badger]

I completed pick n mix unintentionally by just playing hi dam casually

[void relic]

they always charge ahead and wipe out all the elites

[viral solstice]

tbh this new force sword is gonna be the heavy sword of force swords i can feel it

think about it

[spice veldt]

shame that the map doesn't have any cliffs and barrels

[wide tiger]

Got mine in that exact event by accident

[viral solstice]

they say its gonna be really thrusty

[twilit badger]

As for BB 90% HP of bosses

[viral solstice]

but fatshark tend to fatshark things

that means its gonna be the best cleave weapon ever

[void relic]

that one is easy

[spice veldt]

hopium

[void relic]

just need a shield ogryn

[viral solstice]

nono

[spice veldt]

i also believe

[twilit badger]

Get ogryn friend and ask them equip shield and attack DH

[viral solstice]

this is advanced turbo fatsharium

[void relic]

he aggros daemonhost

[spice veldt]

maybe they give it 10 cleave on the heavy stab

[void relic]

I was close but he didn't have a shield

[viral solstice]

itll have an aoe special attack

[spice veldt]

i will actually laugh if they give it more than 1 cleave

[void relic]

two vets in the match fended off the grunts

[wide tiger]

New fs gonna have inf cleave but only pokey attacks so you can oneshot a 200 mob stack in psyk

[viral solstice]

nono

[void relic]

while me and him popped it

[viral solstice]

u just crank ur mouse sense up

to a million

and have a seizure every game

somehow the hitbox disjoints

and u become one with the warp

and every mob in the map dies

[wide tiger]

Psyker gameplay

[viral solstice]

i tried it with power sword

[wide tiger]

I already do that with bb

[honest frigate]

Psyker gameplay

[viral solstice]

i wanted to do a full 360 mass poxwalker murder

but if u spin too fast

it doesn't continuously sample

and so some poxwalkers just take no damage in sections depending on ur face in given frames

[honest frigate]

Dont spin too fast or else you get possessed by the warp and ur psyker dick explodes

[viral solstice]

too late

[wide tiger]

Need to make a perfect 360 macro

[viral solstice]

i didnt read the warnings

i think even a perfect macro would have issues

i would need to check how many degrees ur actually hittin per frame

[wide tiger]

Ez

[viral solstice]

altho actually

just do it with a shovel

u can only damage 3 enemies

so its 100% consistent

u never lose a target

100% satisfaction guaranteed

[wide tiger]

Still need to make a vet shovel

They get any good blessings?

[viral solstice]

Decimator

Weird weak spot one is funny

Uncanny is fun if u wanna shovel crushers

[wide tiger]

Is that a euphemism

Cause I do wanna do that

[viral solstice]

a euphemism?

ill have u know shovel light spam is as good at killing poxwalkers as a devil claw

ill have u KNOW

[nocturne badge]

is there any word on if warp nexus is getting fixed next patch?

[steel egret]

No.

[spice veldt]

but we do have hopium that they'll fix it

[rose lily]

i can't remember which blessings are best for the purg staff
which ones? / which ones actually work?

[viral solstice]

i reported it privately to the cm who passed my feedback on last time

and everything i reported last time got fixed next patch

so maybe?

[spice veldt]

i shall engrave your words into concrete so that I may blame you if they do not fix it

[cyan notch]

ill laugh if rashad still isnt fixed

[steel egret]

I'll whisper the wishes to wind rather than CM.

[feral topaz]

Hey Ancient, you know your way around force swords right?

[olive ember]

Did Someone Say Force Swords?

😄

[feral topaz]

yeah

I conscecrated a few

and would like input

[honest frigate]

On the topic of conscentrating, if theres two weapons of the same type and they both have equal dmg stats, will the one with slightly higher power rating have better dmg?

[spice veldt]

rating itself does not affect the damage output or anything about the weapon

[feral topaz]

The rating doesnt affect dmg output, stats do

[spice veldt]

so same dmg stats mean same dmg regardless of rating

[honest frigate]

Damn, cring

And still no red rarity with stats higher than 80%

Fatshark moment

[spice veldt]

66% quell speed :(

[feral topaz]

Here's the FS's I made

First

Second

[olive ember]

uhhhhh

uhhhhhh

[feral topaz]

Third

[olive ember]

I'm sorry for your loss

[summer prairie]

third is fine

[spice veldt]

the 3rd one seems the best so far

[olive ember]

3rd is the best but

oof

[spice veldt]

and it's got +20% maniac

[olive ember]

slaughterer 2

big rip

[spice veldt]

perks are good and blessings are fine

[viral solstice]

how is that a rip u just lock unstable power and swap for slaught 4 when u get it and have UNLIMITED POWERRRR

[olive ember]

a yes

[feral topaz]

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that

[olive ember]

+20% power at exactly 97 peril

[feral topaz]

Replace sprint with Flak

[olive ember]

amazing

[viral solstice]

yes

it is

[feral topaz]

Replace Slaughterer 2 with 4 whenever I find it

Profit

[olive ember]

you want slaughterer 4 + deflector 4 or bloodthirsty ideally

[spice veldt]

unstable power is good enough in place of bloodthirsty

[olive ember]

Unstable power is a meme but its not the worst

[viral solstice]

?

[steel egret]

I dont think deflector level matters that much really.

[viral solstice]

10-20% passive power

[olive ember]

Shhh

[viral solstice]

is fucking incredible lmao

[olive ember]

my stamina block is very important

eh

its not rly needed

slaughterer stacks is fine

[viral solstice]

in that case

slaught 2 isnt a rip

[spice veldt]

well you need to get the slaughterer stacks in the first place

[olive ember]

well yes

[viral solstice]

because its only 25% power less

than slaught 4

therefore no problem

its not needed

[olive ember]

well you need a slaughterer 3 kek

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

I did say you want a slaughterer 3 or 4

[viral solstice]

slaught 3 only 12.5% power

not worth having

[olive ember]

exactly

[cyan notch]

unstable is nice its free damage

[olive ember]

it needs more

[feral topaz]

I mean sure when I can buy t4 Ill buy it but

[olive ember]

lots more

but yeah

[feral topaz]

I just conscecrated these

[steel egret]

Gonna pick lvl4 blazing from melk when I get home.

[olive ember]

I mean unless you want to take the FS only for its special attack

[steel egret]

[olive ember]

you might as well just use an antax

XD

[spice veldt]

FS horde clear isn't that bad

[olive ember]

its like stacking all that power for basically a discount antax in terms of horde clear

its not Bad

[viral solstice]

its also special damage

[olive ember]

but like if you aren't taking deflector or bloodthirsty or wte

its like

[viral solstice]

that is not conditional on stacks

[olive ember]

just use an antax

[spice veldt]

you're going to out DPS an antax as long as there aren't more than 10 enemies or so per cleave

[olive ember]

eh

[viral solstice]

that will one shot a mutant

at zero stacks

[olive ember]

well at the end of the day run wte tbh, slaughterer is the very important perk

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

if you wanna block bullets use deflector

and if you want more damage unstable power, shred, bloodthirsty all work

also

is this post realistic enough

[feral topaz]

So curiously, it almost one shots a naked rager/mutant sometimes, and sometimes it does 1 shot them, I think it has to do with how many slaughterer stacks / unstable power % there is

[viral solstice]

yes

that sword at 100% peril and warp unleashed should I think one shot a mutant on heavy bodyshot

[feral topaz]

Ironically I think it would one shot them if either the dmg stat was higher or the maniac bonus was 25%

[viral solstice]

maybe 50%+

i havent checked

[feral topaz]

But can't win everything

[olive ember]

if you run warp unleashed that also applies

[viral solstice]

my shitty force sword with just unstable power and no maniacs is 63 damage off the mutant bodyshot one shot

[spice veldt]

max t3 slaughterer stacks force sword heavies

max t4 decimator stacks antax lights

[feral topaz]

Folks, if I wanted to use Antax, I'd play my zealot

[summer prairie]

not like you'll chain fs heavies only though

[feral topaz]

I'm playing Psyker, I want to use Psyker weapons

[spice veldt]

i'm defending the force sword

true

but you usually get to the heavies fast enough esp with QQ cancelling

[viral solstice]

thats why u gotta use the rashad

no brutal momentum

a real psyker weapon

[feral topaz]

...

[spice veldt]

and it's even better with warp unleashed

[viral solstice]

exactly

[feral topaz]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ac7MA7r5IMYda

[viral solstice]

ill have u know

the rashad has the same horde clear as a devil claw

very rude

[feral topaz]

Ill have you know

until they fix head priority

that weapon doesnt exist to me

[spice veldt]

best finesse weapon

[viral solstice]

i saw somebody explain the evis has good boss shield kill speed

[olive ember]

@wide tiger you cursed me

[viral solstice]

it kills boss shield in about 17s econds

the rashad kills boss shield in 10

rashad meta

[feral topaz]

uuuuuh

listen

if I wanted to do some esoteric crap

[viral solstice]

im sorry u cant argue with fact's and logic's u have to use rashad now

here is ur government issued rashad

go to the rashad office

u will be issued a license

[feral topaz]

I'd use this

But I dont feel comfortable with it yet

[spice veldt]

trauma is not esoteric at all

unless you're straight up blasting hordes in front of your teammates and griefing them

[cold geode]

i just got a rashad from teh emp

[feral topaz]

So, thats what I dont get

What DO I use it for

[spice veldt]

shooters/stalkers/bruisers

i use it like a voidstrike

with +25% unarmoured and at least 60% dmg with no warp charges or warp unleashed, you will one-shot dreg bruisers (450 hp)

dreg stalkers are easier at 400 hp iirc

the outer radius also interrupts the volleys of shooters/stalkers if sufficiently charged

if you like the force sword special, the trauma is good for setting up kills for it

if at least one of my teammates uses melee, then I don't use it for hordeclear at all except for extremely dense chokepoints (climbing up/dropping down) and just use melee

[feral topaz]

hmmm

I see I see

[spice veldt]

you could also just spam it with inner tranq

but I personally have a melee-focused playstyle and use trauma in that way

and I try not to disrupt my teammates too much

[feral topaz]

Well

I haven't really used it a whole lot till now so

Idk what goes well with it or whats a good setup to compliment it

But, I guess I need to stop being so comfy with surge/purg and give it more chances

[olive ember]

NO

DONT USE THE MEMESTRIKE

DON'T BE TEMPTED BY THEIR LIES

[spice veldt]

it's a staff that allows you to take really good initial engagements

[olive ember]

or the trauma*

[spice veldt]

shooter patrols are always in this clump that's perfectly sized for trauma's epicentre

[cold geode]

so what you need on rashad to make it shine eh @viral solstice

[spice veldt]

it's a bit worse later on when enemies are more spread out

[viral solstice]

uhh tbh i just meme with it but all u really need is thrust decimator

and then just 2 shot bulwarks

[spice veldt]

but I prefer trauma to BB for taking out single enemies regardless since it charges faster and costs less peril

[nocturne badge]

the voidstrike in general or the soulfire build?

[cold geode]

hehe

[viral solstice]

u could do BM thrust and split the diff

[olive ember]

;-;

all these people

using voidstrike

and not using surge anymore

[feral topaz]

hmmm, interesting

And Trauma prefers Flak or UA?

[spice veldt]

trauma also happens to be one of the staffs were stat scaling matters

[olive ember]

don't worry surge staff I won't abandon you.... especially since I can't get shit any other staff

[spice veldt]

+Flak if you want to take out gunners/shotgunners more reliably

+Unarmoured to hit breakpoints on dreg enemies

[feral topaz]

Aight

[spice veldt]

I personally prioritize +unarmoured first

I also run the force sword with it so I have no particular weakness against flak enemies

[feral topaz]

Hmmmm

testing is in order later

[olive ember]

Tbh +Carapace on FS is pgood as well

wait

are you talking about FS or trauma staff

[spice veldt]

trauma

[feral topaz]

Trauma

But I already have a FS with Carapace and stamina

probably will stick a deflector on it for the lulz

[spice veldt]

though trauma is one of those staffs that really shines or really sucks depending on the maps

[olive ember]

feats are a big deal too

not feats

blessings

wte they are callee

[spice veldt]

i'd bring it to magistrati, consignment yard, etc. with super linear sections or with tight corridors or without much elevation differences

[olive ember]

^^ see all this work? This is why you should just run surge staff

[feral topaz]

...I already do far too much

I want to try other shit

Purga is fun but only in certain team comps

Voidstrike

Mine sucks

dont wanna talk about it

[spice veldt]

f

[feral topaz]

That Trauma staff I posted

bought it from Melk

Otherwise wouldn't have that either

[spice veldt]

charge rate and blast radius being particularly important stats on trauma

since charge rate scales from 2.5 to 1 second, and blast radius scales the epicentre radius from 2 to 4

[feral topaz]

....crap

[spice veldt]

f x2

[feral topaz]

mine has 61% charge rate

'-_-

Wellp

[spice veldt]

and warp flurry is sort of "needed" for the trauma staff to get 4 full charges off

since you need about 80% warp res to get below 25% peril per cast

[olive ember]

Was charge rate important?

i thought it was dump stat

or is that warp resist

[feral topaz]

....well shit
