+X rending is brittlness in disguise

viral solstice
#

indeaed...

#

but yeah since they normed weapons doing over 100% damage to armour types

#

this not only makes enemies take MORE damage from putting on armour

limber silo
#

Why can I get 100% rending and still do less damage to armored enemies

viral solstice
#

eg flak ragers taking triple laspistol damage in comparison to normie ragers

#

which is just like

#

intuition violating on a lot of levels

limber silo
viral solstice
#

but once u norm damage at over 100% then u move damage averages up

spice veldt
#

sticking to 100% damage is too hard

viral solstice
#

so this means rending only applies on weird cases

#

but it gets worse

spice veldt
#

i guess they were afraid of rending being too strong?

limber silo
#

Flak ragers just take more damage in general

viral solstice
#

because if u were shooting ur gun u would expect rending to just help u vs a damage type right

limber silo
#

Cause they count as flak instead of maniacs

viral solstice
#

so if im shooting a maniac with my revolver, i would expect the maniac reduction to be consistent

#

so i pick up hand-cannon

#

ive read enough about rending to know im about 70% vs maniacs

#

so i expect to get 15% more damage on a crit (hand-cannon tier 4: 50% rending on crit)

#

in fact this changes my crit from 525 to 530

spice veldt
#

...

viral solstice
#

woops, forgot to tell u, crits have built in rending

#

🙂

limber silo
#

???

viral solstice
#

yes

#

look at damage tables for any weapon

limber silo
#

You're using the term rending wrong I think

spice veldt
#

i figured that but didn't put it together that would make rending absolutely shit for crits

viral solstice
#

no im using it precisely correctly cos ive read the code

limber silo
#

Rending is a buff applied to yourself

viral solstice
#

no

#

well

#

sometimes

#

but yeah basically theres so many fucking things that fuck with the armour damage reduction calculation

limber silo
#

Penetration is different from rending I thought

viral solstice
#

and rending operates by messing with the armour damage calculation

spice veldt
#

he's using it in the general sense, and rending is the actual name used in code right?

viral solstice
#

well that gets even worse

spice veldt
#

for both brittleness and rending

#

oh god

#

i didn't ask anything

viral solstice
#

because theres a thing called rending_damage_calculation

#

now guess what that doesnt involve

#

thats right

#

rending

spice veldt
#

uhhh

viral solstice
#

but yeah basically the goofy thing is that rending is purely this multiplier on a thing that comes out of the armour damage calculation, which is the reduction. rending reduces the reduction. so far so sensible, right?

#

but most of the time

#

because they have normed damage over 100%

#

the armour damage reduction calculation is

#

wait for it

#

not a reduction

olive ember
#

Too many words

viral solstice
olive ember
#

rending makes you hit armor gooder

#

and thats enough for me

spice veldt
#

well, at least they fixed rending making you do less damage if your attack dealt >100% damage

viral solstice
#

yeah u know how they did that

spice veldt
#

uhhhh

viral solstice
#

they just clamped it so it cant reduce the bonus any more

limber silo
#

Basically, if I do 100 damage to unarmored and I do 90% damage to a flak enemy, I would do 90 damage right? So if I have 50% rending, that would reduce the damage resistance by 50% so I would do 94/95% damage to flak, right?

viral solstice
#

there rending fixed*

spice veldt
#

woohoo

limber silo
#

Is that not how the code works?

viral solstice
limber silo
#

So rending is better in cases of higher damage resistance

viral solstice
#

yep

limber silo
#

I.e. carapace

viral solstice
#

ye crushers are usually the only target rending is useful against in most cases

spice veldt
#

e.g.,

viral solstice
#

or weapons with awful maniac damage

limber silo
#

How do crits calculate resistance?

viral solstice
#

well

#

theres a thing called finesse_boost_curve

#

no stop running come back

olive ember
#

crits just have a flat damage added I thought

viral solstice
#

no

#

crits do both

#

armour penetration and damage

olive ember
#

huh

limber silo
#

O

clear heath
#

Maniac is already really unintuitive on its own

viral solstice
#

look at this damage table for a stubber

#

look at the % bonus u get for critting carapace

clear heath
#

Scab flamers look like they should be flak. They wear full metal armor

#

but they are maniac

viral solstice
#

this is standard across weapons, broadly weapons that even do zero on carapace

#

will do some damage on crit

#

eg the shovel punch

#

literally zero damage on body or weakspot

#

18/21 on crit/weakspot crit

spice veldt
#

same with staff bonk

viral solstice
#

indeed

#

as a wise man once said

#

fuk dis shit im goin home

limber silo
#

You are truly angry, TinyAngryCrab. It comes across in your typing

viral solstice
#

the fat shark did this to me

#

he came to my village

#

and he dumped lua files all over the playground

#

the children read this code

#

and it scarred them

limber silo
#

Okay, now tell me where mutie weakspot it

viral solstice
#

face

#

u juist have to find it

limber silo
#

Why can I get weakspot hits on the top of his back?

viral solstice
#

because ur weapon hitbox is going thru his model

#

clipping the back of his face hurtbox

#

and ur attack has head hitbox priority

#

so u get the hit assigned there

spice veldt
#

huh, that's nice to know

viral solstice
#

we call this the reverse rashad

limber silo
#

So his face goes all the way through to the top of him?

viral solstice
#

head hitboxes are usually quite big but also ur weapon hitbox is probs a lil odd

spice veldt
#

the hitbox of our melee attack goes all the way through his back to his face

limber silo
#

I hit the tube looking things for weakspot and it works

clear heath
#

very long face

limber silo
#

It works most consistently with mk2 Saber for me

#

My little noodle arms are good against the meatballs

#

I honestly dislike the saver because of the animation

#

It's pretty great, but my slashes are so spindly that I feel weak

olive ember
#

memestrike moment

#

#commonmemestrikeL

viral solstice
limber silo
#

I use the saber w/ surge staff, so it fucks with me regularly

viral solstice
#

but u never need to shoot under like 3m off the ground

#

so if ur hitting arms thats what we call an issue of the skill variety

limber silo
viral solstice
#

but here is an example of mutant u can kinda see whats goin on with the shovel

#

the shovel is a psyker weapon proabbly

olive ember
#

yes

viral solstice
limber silo
#

Also why does the chainsword suck so much? I can't even one shot t5 trash w/o unarmored damage

olive ember
#

it totally is a psyker weapon

limber silo
#

I got a 377 chainsword and it's dogshit

olive ember
#

eh

#

imo the csword is just a worse fs

#

its got a better cleave/attack pattern than the FS but

#

wow

#

everything else is kinda meh

limber silo
#

Yeah, the rev doesn't stagger unless you do a heavy, the push attack sucks, the light combo is janky, and it doesn't hit good breakpoints

#

And the heavy is a side swipe if you Rev it, so that sucks for headshots too

spice veldt
#

and it doesn't have head priority

viral solstice
#

the chainsword is weird cos its a crit sword

limber silo
#

I hope there's a new mk for chainsword in the update

viral solstice
#

but also its a special activated weapon

#

and its like

#

what u trynna do

#

am i spamming lights for devstrike or using ur special (which doesnt latch if devstrike procs)

#

or am i using shred or like

#

whats ur DEAL bro

limber silo
#

Eviscerator is the reason chainsword sucks, I'm sure of it

#

They needed to make Evis look God tier, so it's the best chain weapon ever

#

And made the other dookie

twilit flicker
#

Don't be an evisce-hater

spice veldt
#

too bad the evis also isn't god tier

limber silo
#

Evis is amazing, wdym?

viral solstice
#

eviscerator is a bit struggle bus

twilit flicker
#

Sorry I was just making a terrible joke

spice veldt
#

no power blessings marks it down in my book

viral solstice
#

the fastest kill on 20 stacked poxwalkers anybody could show me - using a low hp zealot with low hp attack speed feats - was like 11 seconds

limber silo
#

Yeah, the lack of power blessings suck, but it doesn't need any damage blessings to hit good breakpoints

viral solstice
#

a force sword without any shit up does that

#

without that ur looking at like the same horde clear speed as a vet shovel

#

its actually a bit sad

#

and the push attack is kind of a bait because 3 target cap etc etc

#

its just weirdly balanced

limber silo
#

Unfortunately, the duelling saber (assassin weapon btw) has better clear

viral solstice
#

as it should do

kind jay
#

just spam fs push and do nothing else the entire match

viral solstice
#

being an assassin is cool

limber silo
#

They need to work on their weapon classifications

spice veldt
#

does whether an attack is a assassination/relentless/strikedown have any hidden effects beyond being a vague indication of the attack's properties?

limber silo
#

I believe assassin strike do increased weakspot damage

kind jay
#

thats a good question. i thought it was just an indicator of swing type but we got some real spaget code here

limber silo
#

But it think that's indicated in the damage tables

stable silo
#

Just play duel sword tell the heretics to respect the 1 v 1 all match

spice veldt
#

the weakspot damage so far is dictated by the finesse stat for both the lights and heavies last time I checked

olive ember
spice veldt
#

heavies and lights have the same weakspot multiplier from bodyshot to weakspot damage that's the same as what is reported on the finesse stat

clear heath
#

Aren't all 3 of force sword lights assassin?

kind jay
#

yeah

clear heath
#

None of those attacks are remotely similar to eachother lol

limber silo
#

Yeah 1v1 duelling sword takes forever just to kill one idiot in flak

olive ember
#

I mean the only standout light for FS is the third one

clear heath
#

light 3 does like double the damage

olive ember
#

its got like zero cleave but it does about the same damage as a heavy

limber silo
#

Hence why I weave it into the combo most of the time

olive ember
#

it also follows from a heavy two

stable silo
#

@limber silo thats why u pull a Indiana jones and move on

olive ember
#

so single target you could do heavy - heavy and then finish with the third light if wte still isn't dead

limber silo
limber silo
#

Yeah I saw your troll post bud

olive ember
#

wait

limber silo
#

Pretty great

olive ember
#

XD

#

I was like huh wait i recognize the name

limber silo
#

Some redditards seething in there

olive ember
#

I mean

#

I have actually brought the funny build into damnation

#

so

limber silo
#

Yeah I think we're talking in multiple places at once

olive ember
#

maybe they were right kek

limber silo
#

Lol

#

Well cannon is pretty good, so

#

Devil's Claw hurts to see tho

#

I hate that thing so much

olive ember
#

its

#

something

#

XD

limber silo
#

Yeah, trash certainly is something

#

I guess not every weapon can be good

olive ember
#

XD

#

I mean

limber silo
#

I should make a post like "BLOODTHIRSTER BLAZING SPIRIT IS OP BETTER THAN PURGE,"

#

See how that does

viral solstice
#

it literally is though

#

factual and based (true)

limber silo
#

Ik I get so many WC from it

#

I basically don't need a staff

viral solstice
#

but more importantly

#

purgatus is just a crappy flamer

#

whereas bloodthirsty blazing spirit force sword is a cool fire sword

limber silo
#

I actually have to debate that

viral solstice
viral solstice
#

and u cant get a cool fire sword

#

anwyehre else

limber silo
#

Purge has better draw time, no reload, no ammo

olive ember
#

you could try a Blazing spirit + warp nexus uncharged spam voidstrike

viral solstice
#

yes but when ur going

#

SWWSHHH

#

and spraying fire

limber silo
#

Flamer does better damage

viral solstice
#

one of those 2 is doin the big melt

limber silo
#

Yeah I agree

viral solstice
#

psyker oppression means u dont even get to press f

limber silo
#

But purge I can whip out and use

viral solstice
#

to kill crushers randomly

#

while spraying ur goo

limber silo
#

I have to dedicate the next 2-3 business days to drawing a flamer out

viral solstice
#

well

#

u shouldnt

#

because u should never use the flamer

#

its Fucked up and Lame

#

unlike the cool guns

olive ember
#

its getting nerfed anyways

limber silo
#

But you said flamer is "better"

olive ember
#

flamer is getting "reworked" because its overtuned according to dev team

viral solstice
#

yes for nerds who care about weapons being effective

olive ember
#

and we all know with fatshark balancing

#

what "reworked" actually mean

viral solstice
#

purgatus is just disappointing because its just a diet version of a boring op weapon and its just like

limber silo
#

"This time we're buffing Vet again. Everytime a vet charges their power sword, a psyker gains 20 peril."

viral solstice
#

tbh

#

thats sick

#

random suicides

#

INTERACTIVE GAMEPLAY

#

but its only in coherency

#

so u have to avoid the vet

#

all game

olive ember
viral solstice
#

or he randomly kills u

olive ember
#

and thats why they didn't announce em XD

limber silo
#

I do gotta say, watching baby psykers learn to play is hilarious

olive ember
#

I play like a baby psyker when I'm using staffs I don't normally use

#

just blowing up randomly

limber silo
#

Saw one explode 3 or 4 times in 1 mission

#

Clearly a low roll trauma staff mixed with noob knowledge

viral solstice
#

pfft i can blow up way more than that using expert knowledge

#

they gotta step it up

olive ember
#

oh yeah since you were talking about it

spice veldt
#

or psykers just dying in melee against commons

olive ember
#

The three weapons I run on my build kek

limber silo
#

Wtf is that sword

olive ember
#

its a work of art

limber silo
#

Gimme a moment to gouge out my eyes

#

Okay back.

#

They didn't work anyways

limber silo
#

I forget to do the SPIN OF SAFETY (tm) with fire staff

near wyvern
olive ember
#

all I can say is holy shit the time to kill is awful

limber silo
#

They stack until they die. So hopefully not too high

olive ember
#

wait

#

that isn't the claw sword I run

#

sorry

#

this is the one I run mb mb

limber silo
#

That one... is worse

near wyvern
#

@olive ember go to psyke and solo a crusher without BB with that KEKW_ogryn

limber silo
#

Absolute heresy here

wide tiger
#

rending to me seems largely bad for any weapons with high pen values

#

im late to the party cause im in a meeting that never ends

near wyvern
#

TBF claw needs just a bit more infested, flak and min cleave damage

viral solstice
#

i mean

yes rending literally does nothing whenever ur over 100%

tips plox

near wyvern
#

Damn the gif doesn't play. Was an old lady saying it's been 84 years

feral verge
#

tips: play better. get hit less. do more damage

viral solstice
#

she was old and also waiting for the crushers to die

olive ember
agile ferry
#

Yep, he baited them good.

olive ember
#

this is a very legitimate post

#

asking for the best tips from reddit

limber silo
#

@olive ember Give us a true solo psyker damnation run, no perks, no blessings, no feats, Devil Claw only

olive ember
#

I mean I could've used a legit build

#

thats my legit gunpsyker build XD

agile ferry
#

Better troll than darktideexpert.

olive ember
#

the axe is bad tho

#

fucking hadron ruined my axe

limber silo
#

That's not terrible

#

It's just not perfect

late yew
#

For Warp Unleashed only force sword is considered force weapon?

limber silo
#

Only melee yes

spice veldt
#

all force weapons

limber silo
#

Staves count too

spice veldt
#

normal attacks on force swords also count

olive ember
#

It just doesn't rly matter for staves save like voidstrike and trauma

near wyvern
olive ember
#

oh or @viral solstice

stable silo
#

@limber silo the true meta isn't just talking on multiple platforms at the same time, it's also making multiple accounts on those platforms as well. Who knows maybe everyone you're talking to is one person.

near wyvern
viral solstice
#

thats easy

limber silo
#

Warp Unleashed is bad, wait until it gets buffs maybe

viral solstice
#

u just devil claw em

limber silo
#

Give em the ole' Claw

viral solstice
#

once u know the cancel its kind of fun just messing around with the block parry stuff

spice veldt
#

i like warp unleashed for hitting the 2-shot breakpoint for mutants with light-specials on a +maniac force sword

olive ember
viral solstice
#

but it requires more brain than the reward

limber silo
stable silo
#

Does warp unleashed buff force sword lights and heavies ?

#

Who knows maybe your me

spice veldt
#

and it'll push the FS to over 75 minimum cleave damage at sufficient peril to kill poxwalkers in 4 hits with minimum cleave damage

olive ember
late yew
olive ember
#

ehhh

#

depends on the staff

spice veldt
#

inner tranquility is pretty good

olive ember
#

On something like surge or purge no

limber silo
stable silo
#

Dang didnt know that for some reason i thought it was just for the special and the staves

olive ember
#

on something like voidstrike yes especially with peril trasnfer

limber silo
#

So horde clearing will just make warp unleashed disappear

olive ember
#

at 0 peril

#

which isn't insignificant

spice veldt
#

it's still +10% at 0% peril, so it's not reduced to ashes

stable silo
#

For my blazing sprit void build i run inner tranq for more spam cause gota set fires

limber silo
#

Oh didn't know that

olive ember
#

and unlike all the OTHER peril scaling blessings this shit actually scales

#

normally

spice veldt
#

yeah, it scales from 10% to 25%

olive ember
#

like its 0.1 + like 0.015*peril

#

or wte the fuck the actual number is

limber silo
#

I thought it was 10-25% at intervals like Nexus

olive ember
#

no if it was it would be fucking trash

spice veldt
#

the one time where you can be optimistic

limber silo
#

That's why I thought it was trash

olive ember
#

its the one peril blessing that actually scales like a sane human would assume it scales

spice veldt
#

and you can also be depressed at why they didn't use the same scaling for nexus and unstable power

limber silo
#

What is the scaling for unstable power?

#

And warp unleashed while your at it?

spice veldt
#

same as nexus--you get a stack at 30%/50%/97%/97%

olive ember
#

10/10 ik

#

amazing

spice veldt
#

warp unleashed is 0.1 + 0.15*peril%

olive ember
#

basically anything on psyker with peril based stacks is broken

#

warp unleashed technically isn't stack based

limber silo
#

That's a much simpler equation than I expected

olive ember
#

for once yea

spice veldt
#

yeah it scales linearly like a normal human would assume

#

which is quite nice

olive ember
#

oh yeah for the stack BS

#

did you know they have an overarching general character peril stack thing?

limber silo
#

I think Warp Nexus would be better if it was 20 40 60 80

olive ember
#

and it works normally there

#

but then when they specifically made the class for psyker, they overwrote the stack count

#

to be 30/50/97/97 😄

#

I'm p sure the general stack count is 30/50/70/97, which is still dumb AF whats the point of the final stack being at fucking 97 peril

#

but well

limber silo
#

So EVERY class can hypothetically gain peril, but they intentionally made psyker retarded?

olive ember
#

beggars can't be choosers

#

the working theory is that they just performed an oopsy when they copy n pasted code

#

and didn't notice

#

but yeah Vet plasma gun uses the same mech

#

idk if it has any stacked based blessings based on heat

limber silo
#

I was just gonna ask about plasma gun

olive ember
#

but if it did then they work properly

limber silo
#

So plasma gun is just a disguised peril?

olive ember
#

my understanding is yes

#

someone can correct me if I'm wrong

limber silo
#

Veteran was affected by the Great Awakening (REAL)

spice veldt
#

I know that plasma gun has a crit chance blessing based on heat

limber silo
#

It makes sense considering the bug w/ plasma gun and going out with a bang penance

leaden thunder
#

thats how i got it

limber silo
#

Vet is secretly a psyker

#

All their warp energy is spent on forcing FS to buff them again

olive ember
#

they also didn't nerf vet plasma explosion damage right iirc

summer prairie
#

The third threshold was 90 initially but was changed to stop psykers from exploding

viral solstice
#

which is insane

olive ember
#

makes it legit easier to get out with a bang as vet

viral solstice
#

because exploding rules

#

when u think about it

olive ember
#

its both easier to overload and more damage when you explode

#

on vet

spice veldt
#

so they just changed the value of the threshold rather than changing which threshold the suicide anim triggers for BB?

#

dafuq

olive ember
#

also on pre order beta launch the threshold was 85-87 iirc

#

it was some jank af numbers

#

to explode as psyker

viral solstice
#

i mean they doubled the number so both things are 0.97

summer prairie
#

Well I'm speculating to an extent but it went from 90 to 97 around that time

viral solstice
#

but its a goofy system because the real issue is that the things that query peril quantity

#

dont nede to use the stages

#

they can just ask the peril extension for the peril value

#

and do what they want with it

#

the blessing code literally switches on the stages

#

its entirely self-inflicted

spice veldt
#

das true

viral solstice
#

"we will connect these two things by an abstraction"

#

"why?"

near wyvern
viral solstice
#

"idk man thats programming and shit"

spice veldt
#

well I guess it standardizes values

#

wait

#

nvm

#

i read wrong

olive ember
#

wasn't the whole thing "unintended" and considered a "bugfix" instead of a rework

#

the whole psyker rework

#

from pre patch 1

late yew
#

IS wrack and ruin good?

leaden thunder
#

many people say no, some people say yes

#

I personally don't know

#

I think it seems decent once you are past being able to one shot elites with bb

lethal folio
#

It is a perfectly fine choice on that tier.

wide tiger
#

me too, i think its great when you run kinetic barrage

#

i only use it on gun psyker, personally, but still perfectly fine

summer prairie
#

It's certainly a more fun choice

leaden thunder
#

if my psyker didn't make me sad to play i'd test it

wide tiger
#

nothing to write home about, some extra aoe on BB

lethal folio
#

I've done a couple brain burst only runs, it holds up.

summer prairie
#

4x psyker BB only with wrack + KO + AB, not even bad

late yew
#

lol

#

DOes trauma have any advantage over void?

lethal folio
#

Yes.

late yew
lethal folio
#

Voidstrike shines when things are lined up, trauma can handle wide groups. Trauma can create space even when sandwiched by elites.

late yew
leaden thunder
#

the void aoe blast does very little damage

#

truama also fucks up armor

late yew
#

Void actually does more

leaden thunder
#

shouldn't

#

truma does like

#

380 to a scab (flak armored) rager

spice veldt
#

void has higher base damage than trauma (on the RMBs)

leaden thunder
#

void does 250 and stops on them I believe

spice veldt
#

yeah, void has 6 cleave on a full charge

leaden thunder
#

truama can also kill bulwarks and crushers rather well

#

while I don't think void can

twilit badger
#

Void can kill crusher alright

spice veldt
#

void deals full damage to crushers i think?

twilit badger
#

But can't do shit against bulwarks yes

summer prairie
#

all or nothing is pretty good with void just to cleave one additional poxwalker

#

Presumably

spice veldt
#

if they ever add more claustrophobic maps (like Hab Dreyko) or more scanning sections (like Hab Dreyko), Trauma would shine especially well

twilit badger
#

FS really need to look into these "increases x amount of power based on current peril" blessings

late yew
#

Warp absorbtion is the best one on 5 right?

twilit badger
#

Only 2 stacks even at 97% peril

spice veldt
#

not necessarily

#

on higher difficulties, you might not be killing more than you are losing toughness

warp absorption is for when you can DPS check enemies

patch tmrw yea

olive ember
spice veldt
#

wats wrong with it huh

#

say it to my face

olive ember
#

why you have your health and toughness text to your peril meter lmao

spice veldt
#

to keep watch over them as I poke ranged enemies

#

the milleseconds where my eye tracks around matter imo

viral solstice
#

i put my peril meter off to the side

#

so im not distracted by it when im trying to blwo up

#

ideally u should never look at peril

#

and have all the peril effects disabled

#

so when u splode its a nice surprise

wide tiger
#

patch tmrw woo

wide tiger
#

and even then sometimes i just explode for efficient peril dump

#

Wounds are a resource

spice veldt
#

i don't like being a ghost so i try to keep watch of my peril (most of the time)

stuck bridge
viral solstice
#

the more wounds the less damage

#

but massively buff base damage

#

so a 2 wound chad blowing himself up destroys a city block

#

he gave it his all

#

and when ur exploding

#

if u press and hold ur ult

#

u use all ur wounds at once

#

for a nuclear bomb

#

thank u for ur sacrifice

spice veldt
#

change Quicken to propel you like a rocket and explode yourself on whatever you hit

viral solstice
#

imagine if quicken gave u 5 seconds of extra move and attack speed

#

u just snort ur warp charges

spice veldt
#

zealot :D

#

well that's moreso ogryn

viral solstice
#

yes but this is better

#

because its both

#

wait heres the satanic twist

#

its 20% gun rate of fire and damage

#

the gun psykers are being encouraged

spice veldt
#

no

viral solstice
#

YEEEES

#

and 20% bonus infernus proc chance

#

just to really twist the knife

spice veldt
#

the opinions of crabs don't matter anyways

#

oh, something like risk of rain's clover

#

increasing the generic rate of "chance to occur" effects across the board

viral solstice
#

yes but specifically infernus

#

u know why

spice veldt
#

no

#

i also don't need to know why

viral solstice
#

quite right

lethal folio
#

Triple dot psyker

viral solstice

Bless you

spice veldt

thank you

void mural
#

Yes... more useless dots!

viral solstice
#

but think about it

#

what happens if u have 3 useless dots

#

exactly

#

ur triple useless which is actually hella cool

wide tiger
#

they combine to create the triforce dot

#

wait for it

#

it CC's!

viral solstice
#

the trot

spice veldt
#

maybe they'll make burn stop bleeding

viral solstice
#

nono theyll make bleed cause all the bleed damage left to happen instantly

#

powerflu

spice veldt
#

that sounds interesting so no

blissful cedar
#

does staff blessing shared across all 4 types?

leaden thunder
#

noSitgryn

blissful cedar
#

so if I pull warp flurry on voidstrike, I can't apply it on trauma?

leaden thunder
#

right

spice veldt
#

unfortunately not

blissful cedar
#

damn, aight

olive ember
#

what you thought psyker were like all those other classes?

#

who could swap blessings as long as they were the same weapon type?

#

wrong!

#

we are special

#

I would love if quicken and mind in motion could buff gun psykers and melee.

#

Say Quicken gives faster reload speed and melee swing speed by 10 to 15% for 8 to 12 seconds.

spice veldt
#

i dream of Quicken buffing psyker melee

#

so that I can take off the god-forsaken kinetic barrage

#

next patch quicken buff pl0x

clear heath
#

mind in motion should buff all quell speed

#

give people back their fast passive quell if they really want it

weak sapphire
#

Shred or exorcist on my forcesword? Got deflector already

summer prairie
#

Buff movement while charging anything

spice veldt
weak sapphire
olive ember
#

replace exorcist

#

and yeah

clear heath
#

I'd give up a lot of stats just to have slaughterer tbh

olive ember
#

oh

#

between teh two

#

um

#

I'd replace exorcist with slaughterer

weak sapphire
#

I can only rebless once right?

olive ember
#

if you have a shred/exorcist FS yeah swap exorcist for slaughterer imo

#

ye

weak sapphire
#

So maybe I should wait for a nicer blessing to add

clear heath
#

if you have a slightly shittier sword but it can have slaughterer, i'd rather use that

olive ember
#

well you can only rebless on trait

#

the other one gets locked but you can keep changing the one slot

weak sapphire
clear heath
#

o

#

yeah just replace shred

#

deflector will get locked and you can replace the shred slot as much as you want

weak sapphire
#

Ok Ill try to find a better blessing then

clear heath
#

You can replace the blessing now if you want

olive ember
# weak sapphire

yeah replace shred with slaughterer IV and you basically got a god roll FS

#

could replace unyielding with maniac instead

weak sapphire
#

what is maniac?

#

Those ragers?

olive ember
#

mutant, ragers, trappers, flamers

clear heath
#

dreg rager, flamers, mutants, trappers

weak sapphire
#

Thanks

olive ember
#

unyielding is the ogryns

#

not sure if it applies to crushers

clear heath
#

unyielding is the fleshy parts of ogryn

#

crushers are pure carapace

weak sapphire
#

Great, got 20% maniac now

#

now I just need to find a nice blessing

#

ty

olive ember
#

slaughterer is BiS

#

cuz power is damage, cleave, and stagger

weak sapphire
#

Regarding blessings. I see they have different ranks. Some have III or IV etc. Are they always locked to one kind of rank or: Can slaughterer come in ranks from 1-4?

olive ember
#

slaughterer comes in ranks 1-4

spice veldt
#

bloodthirsty is t4 only for example

olive ember
weak sapphire
#

Ok

olive ember
#

so slaughterer 1 is 7.5%, slaughterer 2 is 10%, slaughterer 3 is 12.5%. slaughterer 4 is 15% power

weak sapphire
#

Nice

olive ember
#

so yeah get a slaughterer 3 or 4 and you good

weak sapphire
#

Im using the which mission mod. And it says I only need 2 more damnation missions, assassination and repair.. for what. A penance?

#

Sorry for not psyker related question

spice veldt
#

presumably that's for the "complete missions of every type" penance

#

lemme check my penances

#

this penance methinks

weak sapphire
#

Thanks 🙂

I'm hoping the new update can make dueling swords a bit better. (I just love how they look and play.) I've been trying to build horde clears on all dueling swords but none of them stand up to an MK V axe with brutal momentum. Even with rampage, shred, and more damage to infested it just takes too long to kill trash mobs. I miss my saltzpire crowd shred.....

shut ether
#

Dueling swords aren't really meant for cleave though being a dueling sword.

solid cipher
#

True....I need to just grab an axe.

hoary hearth
#

Thoughts on the blessings? Which one should I upgrade to t4?

magic burrow
#

responsible psykers don't let fellow psykers snort warp charges

shut ether
#

Wouldn't it be good to replace Shred with something better?

#

Most things will die to a weakspot hit unless you're slapping carapace/maniac. ALthough I haven't ran Dueling since I discovered the church of Antaxe.

late yew
#

So lasgun has better damage, but laspistol has better ammo efficiency?

olive ember
#

las pistol requires you to hit heads and has funny crit but

#

generally the mk 12 still performs better imo

viral solstice
#

mk XII is boring and with laspistol u can run fast and slide

#

so its better

near wyvern
#

So either we get the content drop tomorrow or we gonna have a full day with no shops.

wet jacinth
#

Neither

olive ember
#

They said the patch was tmrw

#

atleast

#

thats what was said in zealot chat

near wyvern
#

Well it either is tomorrow or we have no shops.

#

Armoury exchange closes tomorrow 7:55 UTC and comes back online when the update drops.

gilded viper
#

my psyker brain is dumb, does that mean update tomorrow?

near wyvern
gilded viper
wide tiger
#

well

#

yes

gilded viper
#

time to get back on the game and farm more plasteel then

#

have 5k but i don't think that enough for a decent FS (ready to hate the weapon and waste my time not farming my zealot)

spice veldt
#

i'll shank anyone with the deimos who dares to badmouth it

gilded viper
#

im sorry

spice veldt
#

:(

#

at least blessings are transferable (i hope)

feral verge
#

I have 30k plasteel saved

spice veldt
#

slap on slaughterer and call it a day for the most part

gilded viper
#

maybe im going into it with a bias view on it (in a bad way) since i don't really like the current FS, then again i play gun psyker and gun + FS seem like a hard combo since it basically = no horde clearing

wide tiger
#

they are both MKII so it worries me a bit

spice veldt
#

FS' hordeclear isn't too bad

gilded viper
#

maybe im just bad then NotLikeThis

spice veldt
#

t3 slaughterer at max stacks means that heavies cleave 10 poxwalkers

gilded viper
spice veldt
#

and you're doing at minimum 66 damage to them

late yew
spice veldt
#

with 80/80/80 stats

gilded viper
#

i didn't had slaughterer when i used it, last time i use FS was when i got deflector and that it since it was purple and was like fuck it deflector is what people say is worth with the sword

wide tiger
#

I still think deflector is a trap but w/e

steel egret
wide tiger
#

slide + unlimited dodge all you need

spice veldt
#

it's a bit of a trap though you can nevertheless use it to make aggressive plays without getting punished

gilded viper
spice veldt
#

that's how I played with Deflector before I got bloodthirsty

#

literally just ran into groups of shooters and if I saw any shotgunners, I ran away scot free

gilded viper
#

never used the FS instill i got it outside of leveling ofcouse and wasn't happy with it, maybe i just need more time with the FS with actually good blessing

shut ether
#

I just think the current Force Sword has a shit attack pattern. Also Deflector doesn't do anything that sliding and dodging can't

#

Postion better and you can put an actually useful blessing on your sword. IN MY OPINION

spice veldt
#

light->heavy seems like a fine attack pattern to me

#

same as an MK4 devil claw

#

just that you have to cancel after the heavy to reset back to the 1st light with a block or weapon swap

gilded viper
#

what blessing to get on FS?

spice veldt
#

slaughterer is a must have if you want to use it for hordeclear

#

bloodthirsty for the 2nd blessing if you're lucky enough to get it

#

unstable power if you want an offensive blessing but you're not skilled enough to get bloodthirsty

#

wish I had cleaner footage of FS hordeclear where I didn't get thrown by a mutant two times

gilded viper
#

good enough KEKW

olive ember
#

new FS gonna be trassshhhhh

spice veldt
#

care to tell me your address so that I may mail a gift?

#

FS needs a decent amount of damage/finesse/first target to hit certain breakpoints

#

a 60/60/60 FS I was using felt particularly bad compared to the 75/79/80 FS that I now have

gilded viper
#

ok i get wym with how the mk4 claw work, just need to get the blocking into memory

#

do i ever go for deflector or nah?

spice veldt
#

if you think it'll fit you or you think the other blessings you have are meh

#

since I personally think that Bloodthirsty is the only other blessing besides slaughterer and deflector worth having

#

so if you're not an insane person who poured all of their materials into force swords, deflector is a fine option

void mural
# spice veldt FS' hordeclear isn't too bad

You're also only considering a max of the max FS. At low stats, FS is pretty shit, especially for horde clear. A lot of what you're basing that opinion on is also basically just using it as a stat stick for slaughterer, because I don't have any slaughterer blessing, and I don't get nearly that amount of cleave with FS.

spice veldt
#

that's true

#

it requires slaughterer to be up to par with the other options

#

but that's the same as the CAxes/TAxes where you need BruMo for any hordeclear

void mural
#

Yeah, axes and FS are REALLY propped up on those 2 blessings

stable silo
#

Antax feels really bad without brut i didnt understand all the fuss when i tried it

void mural
#

I straight up wouldn't play with axes if BM didn't exist

gilded viper
#

^

stable silo
#

Im likin duel swords atm for flailing uselessly in front of me dodging away then killing everything with my shredder

void mural
#

I hear they're the best mobility melee weapon

gilded viper
#

eh might work

#

rip finesse

spice veldt
#

that finesse

#

weakspot/crit multiplier on finesse scales from 1.5 to 2.5 btw

#

only really matters for the first target, but it does matter for racking up some kills to proc slaughterer

#

and attack speed too

stable silo
#

@void mural totally great mobility but feels like your just waving a little bendy metal stick around its not as nice feeling to use as the chunkier weapons

near wyvern
#

But slow as what

void mural
#

That's about what I felt. I tried one a while back, went "this does dick all dmg", and put it away. Learned it's got great mobility later on, but I don't feel like that's worth the weapon being shit

gilded viper
#

ok slaguter so good wtf

#

feel like im using a whole diff FS

void mural
#

Yeah, there's probably about 6 blessings in the game that just completely overshadow all others

#

And then there's also a group of absolutely useless blessing as well (a lot of the ogryn ones, unfortunately)

gilded viper
#

i see

void mural
#

5% power based off of stamina... LOL

gilded viper
#

i really thought it was per bar

#

i stacked +9 stamina for that

void mural
#

It's literal trash. It does nothing besides take up a slot that literally any other blessing could have used

spice veldt
#

smh imagine thinking in an intuitive way

sharp ibex
#

You boys ready for another nerf tomorrow

spice veldt
#

just like how stacking stamina makes veteran's deadshot worse because your stamina regenerates slower relatively

sharp ibex
#

I hear brain burst is getting a 30 second cooldown and causes 100% peril

void mural
#

Nah, wasn't it a 30 second cast time?

sharp ibex
#

Maybe both

#

Hopefully

urban wedge
#

Equinox MK III Trauma Force Staff I remember this one being bad in the beta did it get like secretly buffed or something

sharp ibex
#

Psykers too powerful

spice veldt
#

your BB can only finish its cast when your teammate does the finishing blow on the enemy

#

i'm not sure about the beta, but immediately post-launch, it had around 47% peril generation at 80% warp res for a full charge

#

but a while back, they did fix it by making the peril generation more reasonable

#

at 80% warp res, it now generates 24.45% or something peril

#

other than that, nothing else has changed about the trauma staff

gilded viper
spice veldt
#

for comparison's sake, an Obscurus has this cleave distribution on its heavies with max T3 slaughterer stacks

#

and Antax lights has this cleave distribution on its lights with max T3 Decimator stacks

ornate hamlet
#

Randoms when the other random can push pogryn

wide tiger
#

I can almost oneshot a mutant with slaughterer 4 and no + maniac damage

#

if my fs was better

spice veldt
#

yeah I have +maniac on my FS

#

i love it for dreg ragers

ornate hamlet
#

Oh, I love randoms sometimes

spice veldt
#

my two other teammates kept on dying in melee

#

since this was excise vault with infinite trickling spawns

leaden thunder
#

hate that part

#

trickle spawns are the worst

spice veldt
#

we managed to beat it though

idle bay
#

trickling spawns are the most evil design of FatShark

spice veldt

i fucking hate how pre-spawned hordes always trickle in some enemies for a solid minute before stopping whenever you alert them

oh god

#

it's so bad

#

give me all of them at once

I have an idea about why both shops are going down.
Double amount of Devil''s Claws for human-sized operatives, and double amount of Slab Shields for Ogryns

wide tiger
#

Finally!

gilded viper
#

was checking the heavy attack stats and isn't this kinda low for a heavy attack?

spice veldt
#

they're a bit low and carried by weakspot dmg

#

not that I use other melee weapons to know them well enough to use them as comparison

gilded viper
#

true

spice veldt
#

fairly easy to hit headshots with the FS as long as you avoid the 2nd light though

gilded viper
#

most claw im checking have better heavy damage but i guess they don't have slaugther so 🤷‍♂️

#

surprise how easy it is to HS on this weapon

spice veldt
#

the heavies on claws also come out slower

viral solstice
#

also have more cleave falloff

spice veldt
#

cleave distribution of a devil claw sweeping heavy (7.5 cleave)

#

compared to force sword's heavy (6 cleave)

viral solstice
#

and hitting a first hit weakspot is super easy which makes up all the damage on 3 targets, then ur just winning

spice veldt
#

and you're not locked out from your block for as long on the force sword when doing a heavy

#

the other advantage of slaughterer is the fact that power buffs boost the stagger strength of your pushes, meaning that you can push commons away from melee elites to isolate them (sometimes)

#

but I usually whip out the trauma staff to set up kills for the force sword special

viral solstice
#

i mean more significantly the best buff u can get on devil claw is 40% damage from rampage and 200% cleave from sweeping but just slaughterer by itself is 75% damage and 75% cleave

viral solstice
#

u can literally shield break 10 bulwarks

gilded viper
#

sheesh

spice veldt
#

smh force sword needs to push-attack a bulwark from the front 2-3 times to guardbreak them

#

force sword buffs when pls

#

actually I've never tried that with slaughterer stacks active

#

hmm

#

time for testing

gilded viper
#

when psyker get it 20th nerf tomorrow

viral solstice
#

i mean u could push to break it

#

or u could just do a backflip

spice veldt
#

smh even with max t3 slaughterer stacks, I need three push-attacks to guardbreak a bulwark from the front

#

guess I'll have to settle for guardbreaking from the sides

viral solstice
#

just brainburst and one shot with ur rashad like a normal meta slave

spice veldt
#

:(

long wharf
#

Shops are closed, huh?

#

Wonder if that means they're getting an overhaul with the upcoming patch

#

Or that there are backend changes being made beyond number changes in a config file

viral solstice
#

theyre replacing the bad items with good ones

#

so they have to take all the bad ones out the back of the machine and throw them away

#

and pack the good ones in

#

takes a long time

they replacing their dealer

i hate how poxbuster is programmed in this game

total cucked if your teammate shot it once even with full power psyker ult

Agreed. It's also pretty annoying to deal with more than one at a time as a psyker.

west galleon
#

I like to wait until i see that someone tries to shove them and then i BB them

u wanna know what deals with multiple poxbursters amazingly

thats right its the best cc staff in the game

#

voidstrike

west galleon

Signed

not even slightly joking

west galleon
#

A dude who says the truth

viral solstice
#

u can actually start charging it

#

as they jump

#

and still knock them awayg lo

gilded viper
#

the most constant weapon vs them ngl

west galleon
#

The only surge staff i got has 53% dmg

#

That thing sucks but the cc is nice

gilded viper
#

it suck most of the time anyways unless u run into scab from my experience

shut ether
#

Void also knocks poxbursters on their ass

#

can even interrupt their jump safely

spice veldt
long wharf
#

only a mod can do that

#

funny though

spice veldt
#

with the power of sedition difficulty and HP curios, I'm sure you could tank a couple poxbursters

viral solstice
#

u can do it on damnation if ur skilled enough at not dying (the trick is to stop ur hp hitting zero )

#

if u just do that u will have no problem

spice veldt
#

makes sense

#

never thought about that

viral solstice
#

a lot of ppl focus on the wrong stuff

That's an intelligent move, with the hp

tropic lagoon
#

so we're likkely getting the new force sword tomorrow?

kind jay
#

yep

wide tiger
#

Time to ruin another force sword:

#

its actually not that bad

#

I can put bloodthirsty on it if i ever get it

gilded viper
#

What do blood thrisy do

#

Never seen it

wide tiger
#

you and me both

#

So if theres 11 t3 blessings and 11 t4 blessings, and bloodthirsty is t4, what blessing doesnt exist as t4 from t3? Blazing spirit?

kind jay
gilded viper
#

No lie idk how I feel about that blessing, feel so werid using that on chain sword

#

Or maybe since I don't use the special on everything outside of mutant and flamer

safe crystal
#

Its worse on the chain weapons, although it is probably the one thing Obese Megalodon will 'fix' to nerf us

#

For chains, its only one attack afterwards, for FS, its 5 seconds

kind jay
#

you proc it once and the next 5 seconds you get to just sorta one shot everything

gilded viper
#

Bruh

#

5 sec wtf

#

I hate tool tips in this game man, now that actually sound good

kind jay
#

5 seconds of 100% crit on all attacks

safe crystal
#

It'll be 'fixed' tomorrow, so dont worry

#

:>

kind jay
#

including the special again

spice veldt
#

I'll shit my pants if it gets nerfed

kind jay
#

in terms of strength

#

4 stacks + blood + full slaughter lets me almost one shot crushers on t5

gilded viper
#

Guess it a t4 blessing for a reason

kind jay
#

and im not using carapace

safe crystal
#

I actually have bloodthirsty

#

But its on a goddamn chain axe

gilded viper
#

Does axe not work like chain sword?

safe crystal
#

It gets the only one attack treatment

#

And i dont generally like it

gilded viper
wide tiger
#

all chain weapons get 1 crit after bloodthirsty

#

fs is special

i have slight hopes for good stuff coming

Don't have ogryn leveled so I'm bias....sorry

leaden thunder
#

and I am very interested in the balance changes

We have the most limited weapon pool as Ogryns.
Ogryns deserve something.

leaden thunder

since they seem to shake up the bad weapons alot

digital narwhal
gilded viper
#

Ready for autopistol to be nerf tho, I'm glad it meta now but the stagger is a bit too much, 2 bullets and mauler go flying

void mural
#

Is it really that good? I hadn't tried it yet

digital narwhal
#

I thought about something really ‘ard once and eventually it ‘appened.
Ogryn must be Spark’ead for that to ‘appen.

leaden thunder
#

with both it's good blessings it is very strong

#

it's still pretty crap without them tho

gilded viper
#

Autopistok with pinning fire + blaze away is op af

void mural
#

Ok, so it's another case of OP blessings, not the weapon actually being good

leaden thunder
#

more or less

olive ember
#

yeap but its good enough that the vets, the zealots, and the gun psykers are all running it

leaden thunder
#

honestly it depends on who they want to run how impactful blessings are

gilded viper
#

The weapons have crazy stagger without blessing so it kinda both

leaden thunder
#

but also the bad blessings are still shit for it

kind jay
#

i mean blessings is what makes a majority of weapons good

#

thats just how it works

leaden thunder
#

yeah
