psyker-class

[viral solstice]

ye thats just soulblaze on crit

just this staff i keep for memes

[wise pecan]

Your memes paid off

[viral solstice]

i have about

10 of these

[wise pecan]

Why

[viral solstice]

different variations for different seasons

[wise pecan]

Oh ok

[viral solstice]

because i have made about 50 370+ voidstrike staves

to get surge

and still have only got one (1) tier 4 blessing

namely warp flurry

and at this point i have a theory about crafting and its that crafting is fake

thank u for reading my post

[wise pecan]

I thought you meant you had 10 of the same staff, same blessings, etc

[summer prairie]

Today melk gave me surge+T4 nexus and good stats

[ornate hamlet]

Crafting goes away if you take your pills

[viral solstice]

i could have bought a double t4 purg

but i refused

because i will never use that boring ass staff

so im saving my melkage for the surge + t4 nexus i will surely get tomorrow

[near wyvern]

This shouldn't be the case, the weapon is tucked as soon as POW animation starts (perils of the warp). I.e. Transfer Peril can't save you.

[ornate hamlet]

Purg is bland

[summer prairie]

Yeah I guess so

[ornate hamlet]

Hold mouse button and watch the hitmarker

[quasi pier]

That blazing spirit voidstrike with wildfire might not be good, but it sure is great

[compact cargo]

Psyker brothers, what would be our best ranged weapon?

[wise pecan]

Purg is beautiful, fite me. I will bathe the filthy heretics in soap-fire

[ornate hamlet]

No crunchy af sound or real life grenade explosion on your headphones

[late yew]

Which talents considered good on level 15?

[vernal frost]

how ranged

[celest hedge]

communion is easily one of the best ones there

[ornate hamlet]

I use 4% warp charge, some use combat cooldown on elite

[celest hedge]

the one for extra damage after a BB for teammates isn't terrible but it's easily the worst one there

[wise pecan]

15 is the warp charges on cohesion teammate kills, right? That’s the meta, but the cooldown on elite kills grew on me

[rose lily]

thoughts on Wldfire?

[celest hedge]

communion gives you a stupid amount of charges fast and easily which opens up build options, but cooldown on elite kill is pretty nice

[full egret]

Yep

[full egret]

Pretty but c tier

[ornate hamlet]

Cooldown on elite probably goes nice with the burn ability

[near wyvern]

Nexus spirit trauma is the true chad

[near wyvern]

Makes nexus spirit BiS for Trauma

[pearl lion]

TFW three voidstrikes in melkbux store today, none of them have a good perk

[wise pecan]

It doesn’t kill enemies by itself so many will disavow it on principle, but I think it’s probably good for softening up hordes so that they’re easier for the whole team to blend

[quasi pier]

I didn't realize trauma could get spirit. Well, good bye plasteel

[rose lily]

hmm explain

[celest hedge]

just did a game with the Illisi sword to try it out, it's pretty cool but it's not for me, I don't like having to reactivate the charge after every hit since I'd much rather just spam lights instead, but that game I tried of it did help me appreciate the voidstrike alot, it's acutally pretty good

[pearl lion]

Does run and gun work for charged fire on purgatus?

I assume no

[vernal frost]

it kinda does if there's enough enemies burning at once 👀

[wise pecan]

Correct

[pearl lion]

Ah lame, that would be rad

[rose lily]

only for primary fire

[near wyvern]

Excuse me? Cerebral Lacerations also increase your BB damage.

Get Warp Unleashed, Cerebral Lacerations, Warp Battery, Kinetic Barrage and up yourself to 6 stacks. Be amazed how huge chunks you take out of a monstrosity HP bar on each BB cast after the first one.

[full egret]

I will always say that the best result is a dead enemy from your action

A living enemy can still hurt you

[celest hedge]

wait, did they change laceration to be all damage? I thought it used to only increase for non warp damage

[still hearth]

It always was all damage.

It just lied.

[ornate hamlet]

Think of it as a horde-friendly way to stack the funny 25% damage feat

[celest hedge]

ah, that explains it

it's always has been a big anti boss feat but that's even better for it. Outside of that and enemy ogryns it probably won't add too much

[still hearth]

I love cerebral now but its definitely not something you'll notice most of the run

[ornate hamlet]

Well, makes it easier for your pals to kill elites

[still hearth]

But it absolutely rocks when you have someone with a thunder hammer

[rare furnace]

I kill hordes even without charging it

It’s just bussin

[ornate hamlet]

Pop a crusher, move to another elite and let your team kill the wounded one

[celest hedge]

I tried the light attacks of it and it actually was pretty nice feeling, but I spent most of that time using the voidstrike

[robust meteor]

it should be a crime to not get a new fs in the hourly shop

[tropic lagoon]

now that we have a good crowd clearing melee, it may be time to play with surge staff more

[celest hedge]

yeah, the extra damage of cerebral usually matters more for teammates, it's a support talent

[robust meteor]

heck yea

[tropic lagoon]

wasn't crit bugged on surge or something for a while?

[robust meteor]

surge is my fave. too bad its only now good in damnation

[wise pecan]

Stacking a peril-building horde weapon on top of a peril-building horde weapon is the error, there

[tropic lagoon]

the raw CC is great at any level. Being able to stop a bunch of ragers is huge

[still hearth]

Voidstrike is definitely just great with horde clear on its own

There's really no reason to take another horde clear weapon

[robust meteor]

eh it does really bad damage

[celest hedge]

i didn't finjd peril to be too much of a problem at all, I just didn't want to take the time to charge up my sword, and voidstrike was doing pretty nicely in close quarters

[still hearth]

What

Oh we're talking about Surge

Yeah Surge damage sucks

[full egret]

I use Voidstrike to horde and kill shooters

[still hearth]

Voidstrike is great against just about anything, that which you don't kill you can stagger.

[celest hedge]

yep, was staggering hounds right before they grabbed me with uncharged bolts

[viral solstice]

there is a forbidden technique

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/YXFMpgYL4YMr8/d13374KAKh83?invite=cr-MSxoQkcsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

keep it on the downlow

[wise pecan]

Most of the value I see in surge is that it requires very little aim, targets a wide spread at range, and hits through cover. None of that applies to voidstrike (though voidstrike is still a great weapon, it just does different things)

[viral solstice]

note that this works even on dogs jumping on u from behind due to extreme voidstrike sweg

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/ZggnHy6pnnPuO/d1337JvJpdFH?invite=cr-MSxsZk4sMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[full egret]

Void hits through cover

[near wyvern]

Surge and Sustained Fire only work for LMB. Terrifying Barrage is overridden by the stagger effect on RMB.

The remaining options are Warp Flurry + Rending Shockwave, Warp Flurry + Warp Nexus and Warp Nexus + Blazing Spirit.

Trauma already ignored armour so Rending Shockwave cannot increase your trauma damage. The current meta is to run with anything else than a devil's claw so the only target that actually takes more damage under brittleness is the Crusher, which is already getting thrown on the floor and disabled.

Warp Nexus yields full benefits at 80 and above, so you want to pump it back and forth. Flurry on the other hand requires you to cast back to back to get the full benefit, so there is a conflict. Furthermore, Trauma doesn't have impressive crit damage compared to the regular damage.

This leaves us with Warp Nexus + Blazing Spirit. This combo increases your AOE damage by a lot since all enemies that get damaged by the 10 to 20 damage outer explosion get 3 stacks of Soulblaze on them on crit. You can apply a max of 6 with Blazing Spirit. Single targets are not a problem with Trauma since you can just make them sit on the floor, so Blazing Spirit is the only combo that actually does something useful. With Wildfire those stacks spread around so your next proc will set enemies to either 6 or 4 stacks and the cycle continues. When you feel like it you can also pump them up more with AB.

[full egret]

It has a larger hit box than collision box letting you kill things in cover

[viral solstice]

except on random doodads

the game has decided are fucking huge

random railings and doorways

[celest hedge]

voidstrike makes me feel like a mortar cannon, that's a really nice feeling

[viral solstice]

[wise pecan]

Maybe, but not through like a solid wall with 0 aim requirements

[full egret]

If it’s behind a wall like that not really a threat though

[viral solstice]

voidstrike also infinite stagger poxburster

[kind jay]

surge going thru cover and straight up walls is baller af. but sure why it gets so much flak (pun intended). it let's me solo clear t5 gunner rooms without getting touched

[pearl lion]

I haven't had the chance to play yet and I'm at work. Hows the anti horde FS?

[celest hedge]

true, but being able to kill a shooter without them peaking out is nice

[feral verge]

really good

[viral solstice]

but i mean i can solo clear t5 gunner rooms without being touched u know how i dodge the bullets like matrix from the neo im on my skateboard im surfing im swagging i have the power glove on

wait what

[pearl lion]

Awesome. I remember saying after the commlink that I was hoping for an AoE charge FS and they only bloody went and did it

[still hearth]

They did also nerf Bloodthirsty

[viral solstice]

[still hearth]

So you can't stack burn on hordes easily

[viral solstice]

and i still never have it

[full egret]

A shooter in peeking positing can be killed by void. If it’s over cover it’s also a 100% headshot

[viral solstice]

ive had this sword ready to receive bloodthirsty

for like 3 weeks

and bloodthirsty never came

melkus pls

[kind jay]

remember the 3 Always™️ of darktide:
Always be slidin
Always be incomparable
Always be a tiny angry crab

[viral solstice]

🤝

thank u operative u shall be well paid

[shadow wigeon]

Nexus is fixed now

[bleak tusk]

am i having a stroke, or does the first sentence make absolutely 0 sense? Does unleash the warp mean psykinetics wraith? Does souls mean warp charges?

[olive ember]

Yes and yes

[near wyvern]

Apparently Bloodthirsty is not sticking anymore but consumed after first hit.

[viral solstice]

but also if u use that ability ur sending everybody to hell

[river sand]

that may sound kinda logical but you forget that a purple staff with only warp flurry is way better and waaaay more dps than a nexus / spirit staff

[wise pecan]

That requires good aim and will only hit one, though. Surge will hit him, spread to the entire firing line, stun them all, and only requires me to be vaguely facing their direction for a quarter of a second

[viral solstice]

see i knew this would happen thats why i strategically didnt rng bloodthirsty

[river sand]

flurry is just too good to not take it, even when it renders the second blessing useless

[viral solstice]

god im so ahead of the curve

[shadow wigeon]

Shred works fairlywell

[leaden thunder]

FETCH ME THEIR SOULS

[bleak tusk]

why is terminology being changed again lol makes no sense and adds extra confusion

[full egret]

good aim lmao

[celest hedge]

messing with a Deimos in training and I'm in love, it swings fast and perfectly at head level while being good for dodging so I can dance around people and do good headshot damage for trash, the special feels really nice, and you can sprint while holding the heavy attack

[near wyvern]

The internal naming is fucked so things like this happen. Warp charges are called 'souls' in code and peril is called 'warp charge' and so on. It's a spaghetti Bolognese.

[full egret]

The hitbox is as wide as nurgles right butt cheek

[celest hedge]

laughs in purge staff

[viral solstice]

i used to have shred on there but then i put unstable power on because i like unstable power and this sword isnt for using its for leaving on my mantelpiece

[celest hedge]

you can never go wrong with shred

[viral solstice]

see why would i be using a sword

when i have the literally perfect weapon

true rashad enjoyers will know why this is such a perfect shitpost

[wise pecan]

Sorry, it requires average aim (which is still infinitely more than not requiring aim at all)

Any time I spend lining up a shot is time spent probably getting shot

[full egret]

Well your staff requires praying to tzeench it grabs the right targets

And being close

You know when shooters are dangerous?

[leaden thunder]

all the time

[full egret]

When they’re far away

[kind jay]

you could always just quell cancel m1

[leaden thunder]

those mfs will shoot you point blank

[full egret]

Voidstrike can do it far away

[full egret]

They pull out melee if you do

[wise pecan]

Fair but tzeentch aims better than I do (and I have yet to have a problem with shooters hurting me from outside surge range)

[leaden thunder]

sometimes

but yes

[full egret]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-stir-what-huh-confused-gif-16592920

Never played t5 I guess then

[leaden thunder]

generally they are more dangerous when they are far away

but sometimes

they fucken

shoot me in the ass

[viral solstice]

shooters unironically have ridiculous distance falloff

[leaden thunder]

point blank

[near wyvern]

That is not correct. To fully benefit from flurry you have to take inner tranquility which means you are missing out on warp unleashed. Without inner tranquility you can never get the full benefit of it without using ult or doing first 4 specials, and the latter will tank your DPS.

[full egret]

Cause the only issue my group ever has is 50 shooters at the other end of a hallway

[viral solstice]

so heres what u do

u shoot them first

with ur gun

bnag

[full egret]

Okay and? Inner tranquility is sustained DPS

[wise pecan]

Played t5 plenty of times. If I have a problem with shooters, it’s because they’re spread apart and numerous enough that I can’t hit enough of them, in which case my answer is to corner-peek, which works well enough most areas

[late yew]

Lightning stuff is anti-elite and anti-flak, right, better take some melee horde clear with it?

[wise pecan]

Ye

[kind jay]

illy is great with it

heavy the hordes to death and then laugh as you perma stun an elite patrol and zap them to death

or full charge to just kill them tbh

[crude cape]

what is this new 3/3 under my reticle when i have my flamer staff out?

[kind jay]

dodges

[crude cape]

ohhh

[kind jay]

it's from numeric ui

[crude cape]

why does it only show w/ my staff

[kind jay]

are you using a fs

[clear heath]

Are you using force sword?

Force sword has infinite dodges

[celest hedge]

I think it can be set so weapons with unlimited dodges don't show the counter

[crude cape]

ya i am, ah i didn't know thjat

[clear hamlet]

I'm so sick of rolling shit weapons..

[leaden pier]

So new fs?

[olive ember]

Idk Reddit and blooddrunk is in love with the single target one

I think it’s mid

Illi is solid tho

[civic fox]

Best i've got for now, i'm poor in crafting mats

[olive ember]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11zosp7/the_deimos_mk_iv_force_sword_is_amazing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

[robust meteor]

illisi feels more usefull

[olive ember]

Idk whoever made this is high or some shit

They think the deimos has better horde clear than the illi

[leaden pier]

Damn I might actually hop back on for this

[near wyvern]

80 to 100 pumping is sustained DPS

Regardless of how many enemies are present you can just pump that out and don't have to rely on battle meditation last hits.

[feral verge]

i think its coping

deimos looks cooler

and they like the feel of deimos

so they tell themselves deimos is the better hordeclear

[olive ember]

It’s like

Wtf are you smoking holy shit

[kind jay]

actually that reminds me, did they add camos for the new weapons?

[feral verge]

this one guy is nuts

"The charged special attack on the Illisi feels like a liability to me. It's hard to pull it off when the horde is thick because you're exposed to an attack while charging. Just continuing to attack feels better. Although the charged slice IS really satisfying when it goes off :)" https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11zosp7/comment/jde1d8r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

the illsi charge is fast and DOESNT stick to enemies

lol

whereas the other two are slow, and stick to enemies

making you unable to block, dodge

[olive ember]

Idk Reddit takes

[kind jay]

imagine being surrounded with a fs. if only you had some sort of nuclear powered fist pump that knocks everything away

[olive ember]

Idk these guys are fucking coping “the deimos can kill a poxwalker in one hit”

[fading whale]

If you’re fully surrounded that’s a you problem.

[olive ember]

You know what else can do that? The fucking thunder hammer

One at a time

Killing one enemy means fucking nothing or else every class would be running a combat axe and no one would use the hsword

[feral verge]

illisi with slaughterer can kill a shitload of poxies in 1 hit

with unstable power even

[kind jay]

i think a lot of people forget (willingly or otherwise) that this is still a team game. you don't have to Thanos the whole map everytime you m1

[fringe garden]

Gotta get them kills for the scoreboard, bro

[kind jay]

hell yeah make number go up

[fringe garden]

It's super important for one's ego.

[olive ember]

It’s not even that

[runic juniper]

should of just let melk lend you a good one for free

[olive ember]

Cuz even on a selfish level the illi out kills the deimos past like the 2nd swing

So it’s just some ultra smooth take because the very initial damage of the deimos is better cuz ofc it is

[tropic lagoon]

is bloodthirsty as hilarious as it sounds on illisi?

[kind jay]

yes

[olive ember]

It’s meh

Got nerfed to only apply to one hit

[kind jay]

yes and it works out for illy

you do it once and chain crit heavies

it's super fast on illy. i tried it a few runs

[olive ember]

How do you chain crit heavies when it only applies to next hit

[civic fox]

deimos

[leaden thunder]

is it next hit

or next attack

I assume next attack

so it should apply to the full cleave

[kind jay]

because the blessing gives you the buff back?

[haughty bough]

You chain heavy special attacks

[leaden thunder]

i'd love to test it

but fucken

it's only

t4

[azure flare]

Have any sharks said anything about blocking ranged without deflector

[haughty bough]

I have a slaughterer bloodthristy illi and it feels like a power sword

[gilded viper]

Yah Illisi w Purge is really fun, and I don't even have 1 with optimal blessings yet

Just Unstable

Need more fuel for the Plasteel furnace

[karmic copper]

Guess my only OG FS is getting melted for its slaughterer. It's fucked now anyway. Garbage on it now

[gilded viper]

I still need a slaughterer 3 to show up for me

[robust meteor]

Armoury Exchange not working? i just used it earlier today now nothing will load

[gilded viper]

Mine was working idk

[viral solstice]

ok psyker scum im boutta lay some meta-defining wisdom (knowledge, facts, logics) on top of all of u

all 3 force swords are pretty good and they spotted u from across the bar and like ur vibe whichever one u got and enjoy is the future of psyker

[olive ember]

Deimos is a trap

All I’m sayin

[viral solstice]

as a wise man once said (probably buddha) everything is a trap the secret is finding the trap u dont want to escape

[karmic copper]

Just had to leave a hi dam 3/3 script because my wife called me up from her nap to help her puke. Room before finale like 30 mins in. Sadface. Only get an hour or two s day on my pc

[wise pecan]

Illisi with purge seems redundant to me. You already have an infinite ammo flamer, why are you taking more close range horde clear?

[karmic copper]

Inb4 wife etc

[celest hedge]

deimos is everything I liked in the rapier put into a force weapon with a special that feels worth using

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

Cuz why not

[viral solstice]

[pine merlin]

is consensus on bloodthirsty that it's useless now?

[kind jay]

are you suggesting your wife is more important than the emprah?

shame

[olive ember]

Also

Deimos might get nerfed idk

It’s heavy 2 loop combo does more dps than the special attack so either the loops getting nerfed or the special is getting buffed imo

[karmic copper]

Lol we had 2 down during horde and monster, so i told her id come after fight and revives. It was messy AF. The other fellow alive told me to just go. I couldn't do that. Fucking 200 mobs Inc with monstrosity and a dog, trapper and mutant with 2 dead

[twilit flicker]

Im going for deimos first because I like my rapier, my mobility. I won't sleep on the illi though so don't @ me.

[leaden thunder]

@twilit flicker

[twilit flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/dammit-damn-damn-it-ron-swanson-parks-and-rec-gif-19792726

[karmic copper]

What days everyone putting on their 2 new swords??

[olive ember]

Slaughterer as per usual

And then 2nd blessing is wte

[karmic copper]

Perks**

[clear heath]

Man I'm loving Illis sword
I can even just spam the special for peril gen instead of needing to press QQ after every special

nice qol

[karmic copper]

Same old flak and mutant?

[olive ember]

No clue

[elfin nexus]

do the force swords share blessings?

[clear heath]

Flak and Mutant are good options yeah

[olive ember]

Would need to see breakpoints and apparently deimos fucks flak and mutants already

[celest hedge]

crit chance should be pretty good ona deimos, i'm not sure what else to get but if I was able to get carapace on mine than I think I'd be able to 2 shot crushers with charged heavies to the head on heresy

[olive ember]

So might be better off going carapace or some shit idk

[clear heath]

For deimos carapace makes sense

For illisi i want flak more

[viral solstice]

everybody talking about break points

but when will people start talking about make points

really says a lot about society

[celest hedge]

wait, I think ity can 2 shot it if you can get a crit

[viral solstice]

[chrome arch]

Gotta admit, didn't think the Ilisi mk V will pair so nicely with the purgatus
If only my Psyker was at least lvl 25

[viral solstice]

my obscurus can one shot a damnation crusher

its kind of a big deal

[chrome arch]

Can it?

[kind jay]

it probably can

[gilded viper]

Yes

[chrome arch]

Last time I used Obscurus my psyker was lvl 5

[olive ember]

Obscurus can

[viral solstice]

yes and this is without slaughterer too

my force sword is blessed

[chrome arch]

All those stats on paper are misleading

[olive ember]

Which is why I think deimos is just overrated

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/Yuz9G9CZyFmII/d1337FT9y0K8?invite=cr-MSxDd3MsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[chrome arch]

Fswords seem much more powerful

[viral solstice]

u see this

this is literally the most practical one shot u will ever see in ur life

when a crusher rolls up to ur team

u gotta tell em

"HOLD ON LADS DO NOTHING FOR 6 SECONDS I GOT SOME SHIT TO SHOW U"

really let them marinate in its glory

[chrome arch]

H U H

[olive ember]

I mean you can also just one shot em normally kek

[viral solstice]

if ur a bitch sure

[clear heath]

You could probably do it more comfortably with unstable power

[viral solstice]

who cares about a one shot that isnt burning them to death

[gilded viper]

I’m liking all the swords

[clear heath]

instead of waiting for it to die to blazing spirit

[viral solstice]

smh noobs

if he dies to blazing spirit u get a warp charge hello??? use brane pls

[olive ember]

But yeah I still think deimos is an overrated piece of junk with bad horde clear for more mobility and irrelevant damage

[clear heath]

so ture

[viral solstice]

absolutely disgraceful level of knowledge of psykers these days

[chrome arch]

With 4 warp stacks crusher is 2 BB, no?

[gilded viper]

Illios is the mvp I think

[olive ember]

I’ll test deimos out again later ig

[clear heath]

I swear i one shot a bulwark in game with BB but i have no idea how
lemme test in psyk

[full egret]

Vs a 40% multiplier to damage? With no casting downtime to pump?

[lament sonnet]

By the Emperor, Quicken actually feels so good now

[olive ember]

Eh

It’s not shit but

It’s not good either

[lament sonnet]

I like it well enough

[full egret]

Remember, DPS is damage times fire rate. Fire rate going up increases damage done. Whenever you’re not firing you’re losing DPS

[chrome arch]

BTW Crab

[viral solstice]

just gotta hit em with da rashad

[kind jay]

bb can proc flayer

[chrome arch]

1s Crusher with Warp Battery?

[lament sonnet]

It's really good for warp battery and gaming high charge count for stuff

[chrome arch]

Or 4 stax

[viral solstice]

uhh

[chrome arch]

For the Obscurus

[lament sonnet]

I just really like being able to use my ult so much more too

[viral solstice]

i mean that sword would one shot with unstable and a single slaught stack

[clear heath]

see the thing is i don't have flayer

[chrome arch]

I see

[clear heath]

Maybe someone else BB'd it at the same time and it just looked like a one shot

[viral solstice]

or like 2-3 slaught stacks and unstable with no crit

[kind jay]

oh then i got no idea

[chrome arch]

I will return to Obscurus when my psyker reaches 30

[kind jay]

maybe you willed him dead

[chrome arch]

For now I enjoy Ilisi too much

[viral solstice]

but theyre all good pick the one u enjoy

[chrome arch]

Got me reintroduced to fswords

Ilisi feels sooo bloody good

Is it faster than others?

Or are they of same attack speed

[gilded viper]

Idk if the attack speed is higher base, but finesse modifies the attack speed

[chrome arch]

Kay

[clear heath]

It might be slightly faster

[chrome arch]

The moveset of Ilisi is chef's kiss

[clear heath]

I just love dancing at 100% peril with the illisi special

pressing special right as it hits 99%

[limber silo]

wtf is a rashad?

[leaden thunder]

axe

[viral solstice]

the most powerful axe of 4th dimensional wizards

[limber silo]

mk5?

[viral solstice]

the rashad is the mk 5 with faster heavies but u need to open ur third eye to hit weakspots

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/10WtRgm3c0TxtS/d1337OJoJ0oK?invite=cr-MSw0alksMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

truly a beautiful entity

[limber silo]

i mean, it's good...

[viral solstice]

its actually magical

[strange nova]

Hey frens

im uh... struggling with cliffhanger

Anyone got any advice?

[shrewd warren]

can one of yall smart folks tell me what to do to this to be meta and op thanks

[leaden thunder]

uh

not much tbh

it's pretty good

[runic juniper]

basically whatever you want

[leaden thunder]

replace block with maniac

and maybe executor with something

[runic juniper]

dont replace block if you're going to replace executor with deflect

unless you really like maxed flak damage

[olive ember]

I mean he already has t4 flak so yeah swap out block

[shrewd warren]

thank you oh wise ones

[olive ember]

Worst case scenario he can just roll for a t4 version of same trait

And yeah replace executor for something

Maybe unstable power

[fiery atlas]

so how are we liking illsi?

🙂

[olive ember]

I like it a lot

[long osprey]

Both new swords are good imo

Didn’t play much with the cleave one though

[fiery atlas]

what's the diff between deimos and obscurus

[olive ember]

Deimos had a shittier move set kekl

[whole oxide]

charged special is basically the same, but the uncharged moves are quite different

[olive ember]

In all seriousness

It’s got a better dodge, it’s got better base damage

Imo the move set is trash for horde clear but some people love it I guess

Cuz they can kill a whole 1 pox walker per swing or wte

It’s rly broken part is it’s heavy combo

The h2 on the sword does bonkers damage, to the point where a properly executed light 1 -> heavy 2 loop out dps’es the special attack

[runic juniper]

just bring a purge for hordes

[full egret]

And it has a 60% armor pierce

[fiery atlas]

yeah i brought a white deimos in a malice-level game and 1shot everything except elites w/ the wep special

[olive ember]

I don’t run purge 24/7

[runic juniper]

Wish the warp attack would stack ontop the 2nd heavy for real damage though

[full egret]

Against carapace. Does full damage to everything else

[runic juniper]

does about the same, not worth being stuck in the animation

[olive ember]

Yep

[full egret]

? You do heavy damage and the warp damage

[runic juniper]

Yeah but that does only a tiny bit more damage than just doing a heavy by itself

[olive ember]

The h1 and h2 special are basically the same

[runic juniper]

at least for maniacs

[full egret]

Ah that’s what you mean

[olive ember]

Where normally h1 does a lot less compared to h2

So yeah the empowered h2 is kinda a feels bad

At the same time if it was a lot better that would also be bad

[full egret]

Still wish the force stave bonk was supposed to do the terrifying damage it does in lore

[feral verge]

what should i do about these perks

[olive ember]

Cuz that means you would need to do jank bs where you miss a swing on purpose to chain into an empowered H2

[feral verge]

which one to keep? replace with what

[jagged badger]

[runic juniper]

would be cool if it procced kinetic flayer without a cooldown

[olive ember]

Depends on breakpoints which idk

[feral verge]

dude

the update came out like 12 hours ago

and you dont know all the breakpoints??? ????

can we ban this guy

[olive ember]

Lol nope

[runic juniper]

is this guy even a real person?

probably a bot

[olive ember]

Especially the fking deimos

[viral solstice]

bullying bulwarks with a rashad and brain burst is very fun

u have so many options

u can yell at them then hit them

u can hit them twice when they open

u can splode brain then hit them

u can hit them then splode brain

so many option

[west galleon]

how do you guys feel about wildfire?

[full egret]

That would be neat. Force weapons are always supposed to carve through things like butter though when held

[viral solstice]

wildfire looks nice

therefore its good

[olive ember]

Lmao

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/10ZOTzrIoCnAEZ/d1337ZEn5CjN?invite=cr-MSxkQkQsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[full egret]

Cool but not practical is my opinion, but I use Voidstrike primarily

[viral solstice]

look u have so many options

[pine merlin]

it's pretty fun, especially if you got 2 or more psykers triggering it

[leaden thunder]

it seems to be bad with the purge (wierdly enough) but it might be good if you are doing a different kind of soulblaze set up

[viral solstice]

and importantly the new bb damage from wu means even non weakspot heavies give u a free finish with bb for da charge

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/10YXxaC_mEFwrt/d1337ggcOJrN?invite=cr-MSxNMGcsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

incredibly viable (cool looking)

[full egret]

It’s an anti synergy with purge because your targets are always gonna be maxed out in stacks

[leaden thunder]

yeah

but could be neat with other soulblze set ups

[pine merlin]

yeah I think it has some potential, although still wanna see what that 6 stack special does now.

[full egret]

I already find soulblaze in weapons Meh and using AB without a Purgatus just removes my stacks

[west galleon]

im not too sure what to think of it even though i use void myself

[full egret]

Void BIS is flurry and transfer, so if you’re going for something strong there’s no point to trying to squeeze in wildfire

[pine merlin]

yeah I mostly use void and wouldn't take it over other things with that.

[full egret]

If you’re running a crit blaze Voidstrike staff for some reason, might be worth looking into

[full egret]

Main issue is 4 stacks aren’t gonna be killing, and your void will always kill hordes, so it’s just a dead perk that you could be using for battery

[olive ember]

is steam down btw

[jagged badger]

[olive ember]

Can't get on darktide rip

[leaden thunder]

looks like it

[olive ember]

wat build you tryin to run

[leaden thunder]

I though maintenance was on tuesdays

[olive ember]

it should be lmao

maybe csgo 2 delayed it? idek

kek

[pine merlin]

im still on oddly lol

[robust relic]

Im not sure if I like illisi? it feels wrong to press C between swings, and I feel like I take hits because of it

[viral solstice]

blazing spirit highly respectable

godspeed

[olive ember]

try 1/1/1/1/1/2

[viral solstice]

now

[olive ember]

oh

[viral solstice]

wildfire blazing spirit nexus voidstrike with devil claw

[olive ember]

hes got blazing spirit

[viral solstice]

its time to cook up a special

[robust relic]

this is the way

[viral solstice]

A SPECIAL BREW

[olive ember]

why are you pressing C?

I'm assuming thats your special button

[robust relic]

Yes

[olive ember]

eh you don'y even need to press C constantly

people compare it to the psword cuz of the special but honestly I use it more like an hsword

that has the ability to go "oops no hitmass" whenever theres a bunch of maulers or ragers or wte

[jagged badger]

Mix of Wrack&Ruin and Cerebral Lacerations + Wildfire feels real good. Can recommend

[fringe tangle]

I did that build earlier, seemed decent enough if you focus headpoping elites (which you should anyway) it'll set other enemies a blaze and hopefully spread to others when they die.

[robust relic]

you use lights or heavies?

[olive ember]

I use both, lmb is more comfy

but apparently it has a cleave of like 2

which makes it kinda bleh

heavy has a cleave of 6

once you get slaughterer up tho I'd prob say lmb unless you are in like a rly thick horde

tho if its super chonky then just use the special to ignore hitmass

also yeah no

I'm using the deimos

[tough trail]

wow guys i sure do love it when shock troop gauntlet gets added the day after i fucking complete going out with a bang after working on it for 2 days straight woohoo woohoo woohoo

[olive ember]

idk who tf thinks its horde clear is better

[austere estuary]

The Work Is Complete

[olive ember]

its fine, shock troop gauntlet wouldn't help since going out with a bang is elites only iirc

specials don't count

[tough trail]

specialists do count i did it on shotgunners

[olive ember]

shotgunners are elitse

[fringe tangle]

What's the consensus on the FS V?

Personally, I quite like it's moveset overall, but the special feels like a weaker version of the powersword, which is a shame. They could of done something cool with the special, like have it shoot a limited range wave of warp fire or something.

[tough trail]

oh seriously?

then what ARE specialists

[olive ember]

disablers

[tough trail]

ohhhhh

like trappers pox hounds

ok that makes sense

[olive ember]

all of these guys are specials

elites are maulers, shotgunners, ragers

[tough trail]

ok im not angry then

[olive ember]

sometimes ogryns depending on what class feat you are using

cuz psyker is special so while ogryns 90% of the time count as "elites" sometimes they don't

[fringe tangle]

I think they should delete this part of wildfire tbh. I want the enemies to, burn, burn, buuurn!

[plucky perch]

huh brain bust can be geared to 2 shot crushers reapers bullwarks ect on damnation

[olive ember]

The problem with that is that it would get the infernus treatment where it would fucking burn everything

tho honestly it should just be changed to stack cap of like 10 or wte

but yeah if they just straight up removed it I could see you burning a horde with a plogryn or BoN in the middle

and all the stacks just transfer and melt the thing

[fringe tangle]

I guess, maybe they could at least heighten the limit a bit.

[olive ember]

also yeah

um

my obscurus does more damage than my deimos

and they are both 79% dmg 79% first target

I genuinely think the deimos is overrated af

[frail berry]

did the armory addon stop working?

[glossy hazel]

Holy shit, Deimos Fsword does so much armor damage even without special.

[lethal folio]

Armoury breaks if it encounters one of the new items.

[rocky cedar]

Presumably you're talking about the special attack yeah?

[olive ember]

yep

tho tbh it really isn't noticeable

like

wow the deimos 2 shots ragers

turns out the obscurus three shots

[rocky cedar]

Yeah I think it's something you're just not gonna use much with Deimos

[olive ember]

I mean you say that but

[rocky cedar]

They under tuned the special attack for it for sure

[olive ember]

i don't think the time to kill using the heavies is even that good

its like on par with the antax iirc

[whole oxide]

its still useful to stun crushers

[olive ember]

yeah my antax does 420, my deimos does 530 ish

[rocky cedar]

Two light stabs can kill shotgunners and gunners I'm pretty sure, probably can kill scab Ragers too with slaughterer n all that

[olive ember]

except my antax is just heavy spam and deimos I need to do a jank af light- heavy combo

[wide tiger]

Im hearing a lot of chatter that the deimos is the clear winner of the 3 fs right now

[rocky cedar]

When I get home I might see up a light QQ macro and see what it does

[olive ember]

I mean

3 lights on the obscurus will kill a shotgunner too

[wide tiger]

really?, always felt like more

[glossy hazel]

These new force swords are sweet as hell, makes me want to main Psyker

[olive ember]

i mean its just the full lmb combo on obscurus

3 stabs and it dies

well not 3 stabs 3 lights

[feral verge]

You aren't maining already? FAIRWEATHER PSYKER DETECTED. CAN WE BAN THIS GUY

[viral solstice]

i main biker

is that like psyker

[glossy hazel]

I mean, I play everything really.
I switch daily.

[feral verge]

Tsk

Delete the other characters

They're dragging you down

[olive ember]

its literally same dps without a macro

like

idk

i think deimos is just overrated imo

[glossy hazel]

If the telekinetic throwing knife Psyker gets added, I'll think about it.

[fringe tangle]

I hope we get more force weapons, like a force halberd would be cool. Would also like Coruscation staff copy paste.

[olive ember]

since apparently I cant screen cap and it didn't show dps for deimos

[feral verge]

Bolt staff pls

[glossy hazel]

"Fireball" staff when, we have cannonball. I want AoE 'splody goodness.

[olive ember]

literally similar DPS

one took me 3 hits the other took me 4

obviously with slaughterer and other power buffs sure it might change to 2 and 3 hits

maybe even 1 and 2

but yeah

its not some huge difference that people make it out to be

like the obscurus was plinking them like it was a devils claw

[glossy hazel]

3 heavy attacks. Seems real spicy.

[viral solstice]

if 3 heavy attacks is spicy, what about 20

SPICE OVERLOAD

[olive ember]

I mean thats the thing... obscurus does it in 4 its not that big of a difference imo

[olive ember]

also what weapon does it in 20 lmao

[viral solstice]

too spicy to exist

[plucky perch]

so the brain bust everyhting to death build works, downside is shock trooper is a brutal game modifier

[viral solstice]

also the rashad kills a rager in 3 lights

just fyi

food for THOUGHT

[glossy hazel]

Deimos does more against carapace, so there is also that.
It's up to preference I guess.

Marks are meant to be sidegrades.

[compact cargo]

The rashad with limbsplitter hits

[olive ember]

I guess but considering you can two shot em with empowered attacks it’s like

[viral solstice]

one shot

[olive ember]

The time it takes for me to plink their heads with the h2

[viral solstice]

we one shotting crushers out here no front

[olive ember]

One shot if you have the right combo of WU n all that

[viral solstice]

if u have the right combo - u always have the right combo

u know why?

because this is theoretical

and in theory

u never be caught lackin

theory is the best place in the WORLD

[lethal folio]

Is this with slaughterer active?

[snow scaffold]

Why is the light attack higher than the heavy

[glossy hazel]

The ilisomething something force sword is also real nice.

[viral solstice]

for the consistent 1s with no memes yes

[olive ember]

IFS DFS OFS

[viral solstice]

but thats ok its not full stacks

[olive ember]

Rly simple

[viral solstice]

but if im allowed to pull out the memes

then hell yes its a one shot

[olive ember]

But blooddrunk would rather we type out obscurus everytime we wanna mention the original FS >.>

It’s def jank but for me with enough slaughterer stacks, WU, and some warp charges on hand I can one shot a crusher using the special on the OFS

Likely would be the same on the DFS

Prob annoying af to hit this breakpoint in an actual game, but in an actual game I’d assume you’d have teammates who would have done some kind of damage to crushers

And if they don’t I’m assuming you might’ve atleast BB’ed em down a bit

So yeah I’m all honesty I don’t think damage against carapace for the deimos is even that good

The only caveat being I haven’t tested the deimos with slaughterer. Like if it’s heavy 2 with slaughterer stacks and two hit a crusher then maybe

But that also means you are using it to kill random trash, which like ruins the whole point of bringing a DFS imo

There’s some pros to the DFS mainly the lmbs are better (most notably the 2nd light) and it’s got better dodge

[manic halo]

Anyone got clips of the new force sword

[olive ember]

But imo the lmbs don’t matter much… it opens up options I guess but typically your horde clear combo on DFS is heavy -> light where as on the OFS the combo is light -> heavy

[manic halo]

In action

[lethal folio]

FYI the light 4 on new force sword are missing stats scaling.

[olive ember]

Missing how exactly?

Like it’s always 100% wte

[rocky cedar]

50%

Light 4 always does damage as if your stats are 50%

Regardless of what they actually are

[olive ember]

Lmao wow

For DFS yeah?

[cyan notch]

its not gonna catch on

[clear hamlet]

emperor's blessing, should I slap on warp nexus and what perk do I want

[olive ember]

Idrc I’m lazy

And if they understand it then yay

[north cradle]

I guess I can remove Blessings of the Omnissiah and ShowAllBuffs from my mod list now

[cyan notch]

dfs more like derpyfatslurpee

lmao gottem

[olive ember]

I call warp unleashed fking force weapon still kek idek

[north cradle]

If I still had Nitro this is where I'd have a dab emoji

[forest coral]

I shall dab on ur behalf

[north cradle]

Thanks bro

[forest coral]

[rocky cedar]

Illisi

[olive ember]

Aw

[forest coral]

One thing I gotta say about playing Deimos tho

The light poke really makes u feel like ur playing spear with correct cancelling

[olive ember]

https://youtu.be/YpeGwhLdDmY

Bruh @feral verge

[forest coral]

But illisi me beloved

[shut willow]

Warp Nexus + 5% crit chance for double Soulblaze stacks all the way

[north cradle]

So the Mk VI Power Sword for Veteran is just a different moveset, right?

[feral verge]

yee

[olive ember]

I think? Not familiar with the new guns ngl

[north cradle]

I think an Assassin and a Vanguard on light?

[olive ember]

Apparently the push attack is pretty standout but idek

[rocky cedar]

Who cares about power sword?

[olive ember]

Lmao

Wait

Fuck I queued into a match and forgot

[fringe tangle]

Seems like it. Although I like the regular PS moveset better tbh.

[north cradle]

Yeh

[pearl lion]

I hope we get a bolt staff type weapon, something that's more designed for priority damage and straight line cleave

[olive ember]

I want a staff designed for anti armor

[feral verge]

best part of bolt staff was the rapid fire lmb

[pearl lion]

Yeah thats what I mean

Priority target damage

[north cradle]

Me want Beam Staff

[pearl lion]

But I guess it's tricky with BB meaning we always have priority damage

[north cradle]

Or any mid-range hitscan weapon honestly

[pearl lion]

Yeah beam staff when it was at it's peak was amazing in VT

Shotgun+midrange sniper

[north cradle]

Hell yeah

I didn't really like playing Sienna, but I loved the Beam Staff

[cyan notch]

its still good

[forest coral]

Beam staff

Clapper of monsties

[north cradle]

When designing Halo Infinite, 343 balancing staff played Vermintide 2 and said "Yeah we can use this for the Sentinel Beam"

[tough trail]

what is the best melee now

[cyan notch]

sentinel beam was in halo 2 from like 2004

[kind jay]

illisis with slaughter is probably a contender for that spot

[north cradle]

But it wasn't as powerful in 2 or 3 or 5 as it is in Infinite

[forest coral]

Best all rounder is still antax, better horde clearer with very good elite killing, illisi

Deimos if u really wanna clap monsties

[tough trail]

so deimos is best for bosses and illisi is best for hordes?

[forest coral]

Illisi is basically zealot heavy sword with moments of being a power sword when u charge it up

[gilded viper]

Bolt staff when?

[fringe tangle]

Anyone tried Wildfire with fire staff or is it overkill?

[gilded viper]

I wanna lightning bolt people

[kind jay]

surge staff?

[leaden thunder]

ironically it doesn't work well with it

since it can't spread to enemies that have the same amount of stacks

[gilded viper]

No like a literal bolt of lightning ala bolt staff Vermintide

[fringe tangle]

Yeah, that's how I thought it'd go as well. Kind of pointless.

[kind jay]

oh that. yeah

[cold geode]

what did they do to neuter bloodthirsty again?

[gilded viper]

1 swing only

[leaden thunder]

it's good if you want to do a wierd build using blazing spirit on like the truama or voidstaff

[clear hamlet]

is this meme or is the crit legit

[cold geode]

ahh

[robust relic]

I am sad. This was looking to be a decent Illisi and then the second blessing bricked it...I suppose Executor 4 isnt the WORST thing...

[fringe tangle]

Yeah I'll try that with my wrack and ruin wildfire build sometime.

[gilded viper]

I do love me my 6 stacks of Warp Battery

Illisi helps spread the slaughter

[rocky cedar]

Man people are hilariously liberal with the term "bricked"

When the fuck did bricked start to mean "not quite optimal"

[gilded viper]

When people got obsessed with anything less than peak being considered garbage

[robust relic]

The problem is we already have "good" so everything else is garbage...

[pearl lion]

I think its hyperbole, like when a single unimportant texture displays wrong and people say literally unplayable

[shut willow]

I heard crits on Purg give 2x stacks, would be happy to read some confirmation on it though

Works perfectly fine on Damnation for me and melts everything that isn't a Crusher or a Monstrosity

[robust relic]

if I have a good sword, and I'm trying to roll for a better sword, and my better sword is worse than my good sword, yes, bricked, yes garbage

[tough trail]

cop or drop

[gilded viper]

Well not everybody’s got papa’s handmedown nasa supercomputer to run Bloons TD6 wave 669. Doesn’t mean a rig is bad.

[tough trail]

its a machine gun voidstrike

[rocky cedar]

That is an extremely misleading use of the term and I'd encourage you to stop doing that

[gilded viper]

Bricked means your computer doesn’t work at all. It might as well be a “brick”

[robust relic]

yeah, its not, and no, I wont

[tough trail]

should i get this

[robust relic]

given that I have a better sword, that sword is now entirely worthless, and thus, a brick

[tough trail]

for context my current is 350 with no blessings

[rocky cedar]

Ok you're deadass wrong but I'm not wasting any more energy on that brain-dead nonsense

[gilded viper]

Seems alright, not really sure about the damage

[tough trail]

well i meannnnn

[gilded viper]

I’m also not a fan of blazing spirit, but like, idk, maybe its good on void

[plucky perch]

fellow spark heads did they fix the blaze bolt wonkyness?

[gilded viper]

?

[tough trail]

warp nexus is meta though right?

or is it more transfer peril and terrifying barrage

[feral verge]

not on void

void meta best in slot is transfer peril and warp flurry

[tough trail]

warp nexus better on purgatus probably because theres more hit procs

[plucky perch]

latency issues cmbined witha cast delay combined with some sort of coding error means your blaze bolt will rarely hit its target even if your aim is perfect uynbless that target is moving right torwards/away from you or standing still

[gilded viper]

Void eats through peril, you want the headshot blessing to clear it

[tough trail]

alright i wont buy it

[feral verge]

and warp flurry lets you cast faster = way more DPS

[gilded viper]

Do you mean the primary fire for staves? I wasn’t aware there was even a bug for hitting things with that

[feral verge]

upgrade thru hadron

[viral solstice]

the big thing with vodistrike is just that the right click projectile is fat as the sun

and the left click is pinpoint

[feral verge]

dont waste melk money on what oyu posted. its no good

[plucky perch]

its more noticable the more crap, comcast, your internet is'

[tough trail]

i upgrade this? idk

not worth to upgrade imo

[gilded viper]

I mean green to blue is barely any plasteel

[feral verge]

then buy one thru brunt's that's worth it

[gilded viper]

Save weekly currency for blessings you want when they show up in melk’s shop

[tough trail]

lol i got sustained fire

does that even apply to void

[feral verge]

it does but

bad

[gilded viper]

What perks seem good for Illisi? I got crit chance right now, maybe +Flak?

[feral verge]

def flak

flak and maniac id say

[viral solstice]

with deci 4 on a rashad

melkus trying to tempt me

[gilded viper]

Is rashad good now?

[viral solstice]

the rashad has always been good if ur an idiot (me)

and i want deci 4 and so

[gilded viper]

Oh. I mean, it’s your weekly currency

[near gale]

Crab mastered the Rashad a long time ago.

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/10ZOTzrIoCnAEZ/d1337ncrN9RV?invite=cr-MSxyNE8sMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

but i like using it on my psyker for bullying shield mans

and everybody eolse

[gilded viper]

Does the change to Warp Unleashed mean anything for other psyker weapons?

[viral solstice]

i mean its nice for rashad u hit some breakpoints

[cold geode]

its all dmg sources now i think

[viral solstice]

with my one

but its good for all guns

u can 2-tap a mauler with bodyshots using a revolver eg

[gilded viper]

I know, I just meant how meaningful is it, like breakpoints and such.

[cold geode]

no idea

[gilded viper]

I want shotguns back on psyker

If they aren’t gonna give us a shotgun stave

[viral solstice]

what if they literally put a shotgun on a stick

and when ur using it ur character is just holding a piece of string linked to the trigger

and every time u shoot it ur character yells

I CAST GUN

and pulls the string

[gilded viper]

Isn’t that like a weird tool divers use for shark hunting?

[stable silo]

guyts

you dont know true pain

[viral solstice]

nooo

have u finished ur weeklies

[stable silo]

yes

fuck

[gilded viper]

Found it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerhead_(firearm)

[safe crystal]

Melk giveth, and Melk taketh away

[stable silo]

the emp does not smile upon me today

[gilded viper]

I would cry

[olive ember]

I only get sub 500 lasguns from the emp

you know a gun is gonna be shit because its 350 as a fucking purple

[gilded viper]

I get a bunch of guns from emps.
I wanna new staff or a melee

[rare furnace]

Guys everyone is used melee on one round and we lost 😂 now the other classes need fun guns so psyker can do the melee

[gilded viper]

The new guns everybody got this patch are fun

[rare furnace]

People go in damnation as a joke

Yeah shotgun for everyone?

Or what was it

[pearl lion]

I still can't believe that there are 3 VS in melkbux shop and none of them have any good perks. I literally don't have a single decent t3+ perk for VS

[gilded viper]

The new ripper for ogryn and the 2 new shotguns for zealot/veteran

Ogryn got a bunch

[stable silo]

dan can i flex my void staff on you in an attempt to dry my tears?

[gilded viper]

Damnation is fun tho

[pearl lion]

This sounds very nsfw

[tough trail]

dang unstable power too

[peak grotto]

If I'm running Purgatus should I even bother with Psychic Communion for more Warp Charges? Thinking I just want Cerebral Lacerations for more damage on Ogryns and Bosses

[olive ember]

That guy rly do be surging them poxwalkers

[gilded viper]

Do Psykinetic’s Aura for cooldown.

[olive ember]

depends on your build

[rare furnace]

Nicee

[olive ember]

typically I find communion is worth on purge builds

[gilded viper]

he trying his best

[olive ember]

but only purge builds rly

[peak grotto]

Does it apply when anyone in coherency kills an elite, or just me?

[gilded viper]

i was doing so well then once again trappers end my run

[tough trail]

no t4 maniac damage lol

loserrrrr

[olive ember]

just you

[tough trail]

not crying rn

[olive ember]

as in whoever kills the elite gets the CD

[stable silo]

haha

[olive ember]

but its not team wide

[pearl lion]

God I want transfer peril. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet

[peak grotto]

Ah, so anyone in my coherency, including me, gets 15% reduction when they kill an elite

[gilded viper]

It applies to whoever gets an elite or special kill in your coherency

[gilded viper]

dead ass

[peak grotto]

Thanks

[gilded viper]

bruh

[stable silo]

think fatshark would give me some melker bucks for a kidney im sure one of them has some heretical tendiencies

[peak grotto]

But yeah, just thinking that with Ascendant Blaze I'm getting so many warp charges that communion isn't doing much for me

[gilded viper]

Dear Chubby Dogfish, please give plasteel. Thanks

[tough trail]

whats better on void 8% weak spot damage or 8% elite damage

[gilded viper]

That’s how I feel about it.

[tough trail]

im geussing weak spot

[gilded viper]

Can you headshot with alt fire?

[tough trail]

yes

[pearl lion]

VS is very easy to HS with

[tough trail]

you can headshot with main fire

[safe crystal]

Elite damage, weak spot damage is bad on pretty much everything

[tough trail]

you sure dude

[viral solstice]

take elite damage

weak spot damage is just very little

[safe crystal]

Im 100% sure

[viral solstice]

its 8% additional damage from weakspot vs normal hit

so thats like

very smol bonus

[tough trail]

do i want flak or maniac damage for void

[gilded viper]

Flak

Flak is like the whole roster

[safe crystal]

Check the void strike damage table on the secondary, you see weak spot and normal hit separately. The weak spot damage increase is applied to the difference between these two numbers

Its the same for every weapon

[peak grotto]

Yeah, Flak is almost all scabs

Maniac is a tiny handful

[stable silo]

should i reroll maniac to crit 🙂

[gilded viper]

Like crit chance idk

This is voidstrike right?

[safe crystal]

Unarmoured or infested, in that order, for void strike

[stable silo]

lol blazinstrike yes

[safe crystal]

If you already have flak

[stable silo]

doesnt void already hit most unarmored and infested for 1 taps?

[safe crystal]

Shotgunners, snipers, etc, nah

[gilded viper]

Infested is probably good for dogs

Especially since more danger puppies are spawning in heresy/damnation

[stable silo]

im still torn between inner tranq or warp unleashed for void atm

[rare furnace]

Puppers

[gilded viper]

Warp Unleashed yolo.

You got transfer Peril right? Go for it

[leaden pier]

so what's the deimos fs good at compared to the obscurus, is it like more specialized to single target?

[gilded viper]

It doesn’t seem that meaningfully different from obscurus

[leaden pier]

perhaps it's more reliable to hit weakpoint based on its swings mebe

i dunno ive just been playing with it in the psykanium

[gilded viper]

I’m sure somebody will crunch the numbers better, and the stabs especially light 1 and heavy 2 are nice

[safe crystal]

Higher armour damage, easier to use moveset, worse horde clear, from what i've seen

[gilded viper]

Heavy 2 charged hurts a bunch

Can probably 1 shot a crusher with say slaughterer and some warp charges

[leaden pier]

oh yeah, since when was the push attack into heavy attack a thing when holding the attack button?

[gilded viper]

I think it’s always been a thing? I think I know what you’re talking about, but I’m not super consistent with it

[steel flame]

I really love the Deimos. Waaaaay more that the obscurus. It's got some stupid baseline breakpoints and once you put bloodthirsty on it.....yikes. that thing is a monster

[gilded viper]

Deimos certainly uses Bloodthirsty well even after the nerf

[leaden pier]

what should i run with deimos as melee?

[sleek pebble]

i see more people talking about the other one here though

[steel flame]

Something with lots of cc

[gilded viper]

Purge or Trauma probably. For the horde

[peak grotto]

Yeah, what this guy said

[steel flame]

Void, purge.

[sonic coral]

alright so what's the new fav sword

[steel flame]

Shredder

[gilded viper]

Illisi

[leaden pier]

is trauma still the same?

[gilded viper]

Is like mini power sword, is fun.

[sonic coral]

yea? single target damage that wicked on it?

[steel flame]

Having an actual weapon with cleave is super nice

[sonic coral]

Oh illisi is the swathe attack one

[gilded viper]

Like the same since when? It’s been fairly good for a bit know

[gilded viper]

Yah is nice.

[long wharf]

did FartShart intend to rename the psyker ult to "Unleash the Warp"?

[sonic coral]

I'll have to try one out

[gilded viper]

It can spam charged heavies

[leaden pier]

i mean does it still gain peril at a way higher rate compared to the other staves

[gilded viper]

It’s reasonable now, could always run peril resistance if it’s a major concern

[steel flame]

Illisi is better than devil claw in every way, pattern, damage, discount powersword special that feeds warp unleashed really hard.

[gilded viper]

Yah, ima need to get me an unstable/slaughterer Illisi. Need me some plasteel first

[leaden pier]

well time to run deimos first time with my gun psyker build

[gilded viper]

Good luck!

[sleek pebble]

wildfire pretty cool?

[gilded viper]

No it’s pretty hot!

[gilded viper]

It’s fine on ascendant blaze builds I guess. Not super compatable with purge, as it doesn’t allow the enemy to have more soulflame stacks

[sonic coral]

wow thanks

[gilded viper]

That’s a good one

[sonic coral]

hrm, I guess

[sleek pebble]

so if i dont have AB yet dont bother huh lol

[fringe tangle]

I mean the FSV is mostly good at horde killing, so the single target being kind of low is fine

[sonic coral]

I suppose yea

[viral solstice]

[gilded viper]

I suppose.

[viral solstice]

yeeees

[gilded viper]

Sexy yellow number

[sonic coral]

OK here is its final form

[viral solstice]

if i put carapace on that

mein gott

[gilded viper]

Looking good. Shame about getting stuck with Superiority

[sonic coral]

Yea superiority seems er... incredibly circumstantial, to be as kind as possible

but hey, for those really dense "oh fuck" mixed horde ambushes, maybe it'll be a nice ace up the sleeve

just did that last round actually, stuck with 3 crushers, 5 ragers and god knows what in a tiny room lol

[gilded viper]

Should do a warp battery build with it

And warp unleashed

[steel flame]

Whaaaa it works great with purge. You can keep spreading the fire even when you need to swap to melee, meaning you can keep generating stacks in a horde while you don't have purge out

[sonic coral]

Yea I'm gonna use it with both battery and unleashed, I use those on my Trauma build

Should be nice without the straight up horde clear of purg

[spark cape]

have you guys been able to complete Malleus Monstronum? I've been trying since release but my usual group has quit Darktide so I'm looking for tips

[steel flame]

Find a shield ogryn buddy

[robust badge]

yas

[gilded viper]

It only stacks 4 tho and no more than that. I’m sure it has uses, as opposed to the previous version of the talent. But I’ll likely just stick with Warp Battery or flense.

[feral verge]

i almost forgot about lifeleach penance. that's that, all of them completed!

[gilded viper]

People on this discord tend to be down to help with penances (at least in my experience)
Pretty easy to solo a plageryn or Burgle, I’s make sure somebody has a shield tho if dealing with a Daemonhost

[steel flame]

It only stacks 4 but that's not important. You can generate warp charge of killing enemies afflicted with your warp fire

[pearl lion]

DH with a shieldgryn is the way to do it

[gilded viper]

Nice welcome to the. Psyker Penances are pain club.

[robust badge]

painances

[pearl lion]

Shieldgryn aggros, plonks themselves in a corner and ups their shield. You BB, done.

[feral verge]

i was in that club since the game came out

i had most of them done for awhile

[gilded viper]

Yah, but you did them all anyway, you get a neat little sticker for the trouble
