#

indeed

forest coral
#

It’s funny lazor

#

I switched to br auto vet and hey, damage suddenly was almost matching up

#

But to be fair this is a really big outlier

#

Darcy is a bit next level with the funny pistol

ember hornet
#

purg is a nice pub staff

forest coral
#

it’s excellent

#

Will hard carry if need be

mellow dock
#

^^

forest coral
#

But psyker lacks that straight killing output the zealots and vets will dish out in a short notice in mid rang

ember hornet
#

vets just need to be nerfed into the fucking ground

mellow dock
#

Hell no

ember hornet
#

the class is so silly strong

mellow dock
#

I play all classes

ember hornet
#

1300 toughness

mellow dock
#

and i dont agree with that at all

ember hornet
#

they have 1300 toughness, F all the time, and 50% toughness regen on kill

#

and powersword

spice veldt
#

I think it's fine that vet has that ranged deletion niche

ember hornet
#

and grenade regen

mellow dock
#

1300?

ember hornet
#

yes

mellow dock
#

What do u mean by 1300

spice veldt
#

they presumably mean with unwavering focus

ember hornet
#

effective

mellow dock
#

oh...

cyan notch
#

idk unlimited ult god mode with 5million toughness with 5million toughness regen and nonstop ammo regen is pretty nuts

forest coral
#

Unwavering focus, counter fire

mellow dock
#

lololol

forest coral
#

Basically invincible unless crusher wave happens

ember hornet
#

and then you just power sword the crushers

spice veldt
#

and that 7.5% toughness regen on melee kill compared to everyone else's 5%

cyan notch
#

or ur teammates kill the crushers because everything else is dead

mellow dock
#

Idk... I started with the vet

#

to me its become the most boring class to play

ember hornet
#

it is

crystal jolt
#

cuz its easy

ember hornet
#

it's really strong in a boring way

cyan notch
#

ur john shootgun

#

u shoot the gun

mellow dock
#

I know what you mean though

#

when you see vet players

forest coral
mellow dock
#

who think they are good

mellow dock
#

at the game

forest coral
#

This isn’t even with the most op gun yet

ember hornet
#

and power sword is just like... illisi with unlimited swings

crystal jolt
#

the power sword is far too versatile for its own good

mellow dock
#

You mean like this one?

ember hornet
mellow dock
#

😂

ember hornet
#

literally solos

olive ember
#

Psyker is just very weak

#

needs more buffs

radiant lance
spice veldt
#

you can kinda do that with the trauma staff

#

just can't dump damage into reapers though

radiant lance
#

Yeah Powersword is just a better Illisi isn't it?

spice veldt
#

where's my fucking peril glock

forest coral
ember hornet
#

you can tank multiple shotgunners on vet

#

actually tank them

spice veldt
#

oh yeah i meant as psyker

radiant lance
#

To add insult to injury Illisi special actually takes peril while Powersword special is unlimited

forest coral
#

Oh yeh for sure

spice veldt
#

though we did get the illisi whose special does bonus damage against unyielding

#

which is very cool

ember hornet
#

pretty sure a vet can also tank a full sniper shot

olive ember
#

The only counter to the vet

crystal jolt
olive ember
#

are scab stalkers

#

kek

spice veldt
#

no longer will I whack at reapers for 10 seconds

mellow dock
#

IDK i dont find the psyker weak

forest coral
#

Psyker ain’t weak

olive ember
#

try walking into a group of scab stalkers and watch as your counter fire ends and you get shot to shit kek

mellow dock
#

I wonder why people say its weak

forest coral
#

We just lack direct burst damage

ember hornet
olive ember
#

psyker is super duper weak

crystal jolt
olive ember
#

its not vet level

spice veldt
#

i think some players who say that are also the type to just hang back at the team and brain burst all the time

olive ember
#

anything that isn't vet level is just super weak

#

😄

mellow dock
#

lolol

spice veldt
#

I have had psyker teammates who fucking sit in the backline and just brain burst enemies that are right in front of me

forest coral
#

Whoever saying vet is weak

spice veldt
#

with my god damn melee out

olive ember
#

also a part of me thinks if people say psyker is strong or wte

radiant lance
#

I would still like better breakpoints for Brainburst, personally

forest coral
#

Probably uses camo to die alone in a corner somewhere

woeful cliff
#

No one said vet was weak

spice veldt
#

brain burst is very good already

olive ember
#

no

spice veldt
#

it's a utility weapon

forest coral
#

Or just trolling

mellow dock
#

yeah BB is excellent

olive ember
#

I've seen a couple people say vet are weak unironically

#

on reddit

#

kek

forest coral
#

Hue

#

I will say that vet kinda sucks at clutching in mixed horde tho

olive ember
#

I think vet was genuinely like bottom tier in CBT tbh

radiant lance
#

Idk, BB breakpoints feel too weak for me

olive ember
#

and then that shit got mega buffed

forest coral
#

But they rarely ever enter clutch scenario

mellow dock
#

Psyker definitely takes the most skill to play though

forest coral
#

cause everything dead by then

olive ember
#

every other class got nerfed and then vet got like buffs

#

from CBT to pre-launch

tidal violet
#

I think that over-nerfing Vet because of what the top 10% of players are capable of just echoes moves that killed a lot of fighting games.

Psyker is simply the least flexible class. The new swords are nice, but they still don't have the equivalent of like, the sheer variety of vets or the team focus/tankier/bloody Ogryns.

woeful cliff
#

Grenades are their clutch tool

cyan notch
#

it already 1 shots like basically everything what other breakpoints do u need

mellow dock
#

but when you get good the sheer versatility of it... its friggin awesome

ember hornet
crystal jolt
#

they should re-enable the toughness bug to balance vets.

spice veldt
#

the only thing we lack is a burst ranged dps option

radiant lance
#

The damage feels bad to me

olive ember
#

The problem with vet is that its just a fucking statstick

#

so if you nerf it hard then its shit

spice veldt
#

because you're not supposed to use brain burst for damage

#

brainburst opens up bulwarks and pierces carapace armor

mellow dock
#

^^

woeful cliff
#

I kinda assume Psyker is actually very flexible dependent on weapon choice.

spice veldt
#

it has aim assist that will catch fast enemies or those behind the cover of fire

mellow dock
#

and Elites that are not reachable

radiant lance
#

So you're saying I'm not supposed to use it against specials generally

crystal jolt
mellow dock
#

do not use BB against Trash Mobs

olive ember
#

psyker is flexible in the sense that no matter what you are running you can fall back on BB

spice veldt
crystal jolt
#

if only cuz its infinite in a vacuum

mellow dock
#

Only against Elites and specials

olive ember
#

but BB itself is kinda meh

mellow dock
#

and Ogys

cyan notch
mellow dock
#

but only if your vet is not on it

olive ember
#

and bursters

spice veldt
#

BB just doesn't have the cleave that your other weapons have

olive ember
#

can it one shot bursters now actually?

cyan notch
#

yes

spice veldt
#

yeah it can

clear heath
#

It kills bursters now

woeful cliff
#

Dont they oneshot with warp now

mellow dock
#

You are a gap filler

clear heath
#

They used to be left alive with like literally 20 hp

mellow dock
#

you fill the gap for the situation you may find yourself

olive ember
#

I'm assuming i need like 4 stacks + high warp or wte

mellow dock
#

in

cyan notch
#

no

#

its pretty easy

olive ember
#

is it

mellow dock
#

and Psyk can Carry hard!

cyan notch
#

1 stack at 100 peril

olive ember
#

huh I should use BB on them more often

#

most of the time I just wait for em and shove em

ember hornet
#

check the pins

radiant lance
cyan notch
#

yes

ember hornet
#

there's updated breakpoints

#

for BB, in pins

spice veldt
#

^breakpoints with warp unleashed from Pygex's guide

radiant lance
#

What do ya'll feel about Wrack and Ruin?

spice veldt
#

i don't like it because it involves brain bursting

olive ember
#

mid

tidal violet
# spice veldt i'll have to disagree on the flexibility part

The staves are options, but for the most part they're the same weapon except for what the channeling eventually releases.

Psyker doesn't have as much that shifts the power or use of their ult/BBs as vet or Og do. Especially with the majority of their weapons still being multiclass ones that Vet and Zel can make more use of.

radiant lance
# spice veldt

How does the 25% extra damage on BB affect these breakpoints I wonder

magic burrow
#

wrack and ruin works good with the shredder

cyan notch
#

those are the breakpoitns

magic burrow
#

but warp unleashed is just insane right now

ember hornet
clear heath
#

wrack and ruin was bad for a long time, meh for one patch, and now i can't see anyone trying to justify it with warp unleashed getting so much better

olive ember
#

I mean vet ult is literally a stat stick

radiant lance
#

I mean the "lashing" something skill

#

Which provides 25% damage on BB

olive ember
#

gives wall hacks, 75% DR, 50% ranged damage + wte

#

and refreshes

#

take away the stats and its fucking trash

clear heath
#

vet's entire class identity is stat stick

radiant lance
#

Cerebral Lacerations, that's it

magic burrow
#

'take away the thing that makes the the thing good and the thing is trash'

mellow dock
#

^^

#

Idk... why people whine about other classes

woeful cliff
#

Without the warp powers, psyker is trash guys

mellow dock
#

all are fantastic

spice veldt
# tidal violet The staves are options, but for the most part they're the same weapon except for...

Psyker's ult having no interaction with their weapons beyond BB is indeed a weakness; however, Psyker's baseline power is very good.

I agree that all of the staffs are same-y because they all fulfill a CC role of some sort, but I do think that our staffs have some very serious power. Trauma's stagger should not be underestimated if you can make use of it. I don't like the other staffs so I won't comment on them.

mellow dock
#

all very fun to play

ember hornet
mellow dock
#

I dont do premades

ember hornet
#

it's not like people with 500+ hours have anything better to do

clear heath
#

It's very clear that vet was made to be this huge statstick when you look at vet's hidden stats too.
Highest crit, toughness, toughness on kill
Ability gives more damage
Powersword is meant to be this immobile clunky weapon that has a shitload of damage

mellow dock
#

and Have over 300 Damnation runs

#

and i dont see issues

tidal violet
spice veldt
#

there's also our very whack 0.5s stamina regen delay

magic burrow
#

staves are just kind of underwhelming in terms of DPS, and the only real outlier is purgatus because of all the soulburn feat support

spice veldt
#

we regen stamina before our slide is even over

ember hornet
#

pub players are just so bad at utilizing class strengths

mellow dock
#

Ofcourse they are

ember hornet
#

it's hard to compare

mellow dock
#

but

woeful cliff
#

The class stats aren't readily available.

mellow dock
#

thats what makes you better at the game

#

adapting

ember hornet
#

I mean trust me I know

mellow dock
#

premades is like butter

woeful cliff
#

New players can't just know that "Oh, the way I regenerate stamina is more powerful than the other classes"

spice veldt
#

our base stats are shit, but our toughness regen is so insanely good with the quelling buggs and Quietude; there's the stamina regen delay; our low base stamina can be fixed with a single curio

ember hornet
#

pubs aren't hard either but

olive ember
#

I rly should find a premade team

ember hornet
#

the balance issues are super obvious with decent players

olive ember
#

The pug experience ain’t it ngl

spice veldt
#

we have the same dodge interval as zealots

#

the force swords have infinite dodges

olive ember
#

Actually @ember hornet how often do you pug

clear heath
ember hornet
cyan notch
#

hes just saying the outliers become extremely apparent when you play with decent people

magic burrow
#

yeah but force sword dodges are kind of shit though, coming from someone used to a knife and the dueling sword

spice veldt
#

i think psyker is particularly good because you can regen against ranged very well

olive ember
#

You should pug a bit more

tidal violet
spice veldt
#

with trauma, I can stand in the open and tank some shots

olive ember
#

It really puts things into perspective sometimes at how shit some players are kek

mellow dock
#

^^

spice veldt
#

yeah; I absolutely hate the staff LMBs

ember hornet
#

oh I know

mellow dock
#

well said

ember hornet
#

I pub enough

mellow dock
#

When you have to carry

#

you have to hard carry

#

and sometimes that even isn't enough

ember hornet
#

I used to hard carry pubs with the hammer

#

now I just don't want to until they fix the special

olive ember
#

The one poxwalker at a time?

spice veldt
#

it's a bit hard to differentiate weapon feel without recoil and whatnot though, so I'm curious as to what new staffs that Fatshark will introduce

olive ember
#

Painful

cyan notch
mellow dock
#

Pugs now days is just people scattering in all directions, and its particularly annoying when its the DOGS modifier

olive ember
#

I’m just not touching zealot tbh

ember hornet
woeful cliff
#

omg

#

I hate

#

When people just decide to split up

olive ember
#

Cuz I don’t particularly like the zealot melees and the flamers prob getting nerfed and eh

woeful cliff
#

It's like some scooby doo shit where the entire team just splits up

mellow dock
#

I had 3 people with the Damnation frame do that a few games ago

woeful cliff
#

And I'm sitting there like

#

"Why."

sacred dome
#

If we take Vermintide 2 as a source, then possibly a spear or sniper staff could come into the game.

olive ember
#

I do that all the time

cyan notch
#

gotta get mats

clear heath
olive ember
#

Cuz when I play darktide i space out hard

mellow dock
#

"I have damnation frame, I'm good and my ego has gotten the better of me, so I can just seperate from the group and do my own thing"

cyan notch
#

fatshonks fault they put mats all over the place

spice veldt
ember hornet
#

I now just take a fire shotgun into damnation and use it to kill everything my hammer can't, kinda boring

#

after a while

olive ember
#

I tried using that damn thing on my vet

mellow dock
#

I have not tried the Fire shotgun yet

spice veldt
#

if I'm caught out in the open without stamina, I just spam dodge

olive ember
#

Worst experience of my life

ember hornet
#

fire shotgun is nuts

#

at least on zealot

olive ember
#

My fault for bringing a grey fire shotgun into damnation ig

tidal violet
mellow dock
#

waiting to get a good roll on one

ember hornet
#

it cleaves through bulwarks

tidal violet
#

Makes me badly want a warpfire version.

mellow dock
#

infact I have zero good rolls on any of the new weapons

#

Even though i play alot

spice veldt
#

skill issue

mellow dock
#

on damnation too

magic burrow
#

when you have a dueling sword/knife, the moment you hit the dodge limit and your dodges get worse, they're still better than the regular force sword dodges

spice veldt
#

consider having better luck

mellow dock
#

LOLOL!

#

good advice

olive ember
#

clearly a skill issue

summer prairie
#

I've a 379 illisi and 380 deimos, could be better but fairly skilled

spice veldt
#

but you also trade up hordeclear with the duelling swords and knife

#

it's not just the infinite dodges but all the other things that come with force swords

sacred dome
#

Ye everybody gangsta 'til they meet your 10 luck base roll fallout char

mellow dock
#

who wants to play

olive ember
#

Why did they give deimos broken dodges anyways

spice veldt
#

I don't mean to say that infinite dodges or longer dodges are comparable or that one is better than the other, but I do think that infinite dodges make up for the illisi and obscurus having a terrible dodge distance

cyan notch
#

cuz they want to bury obscurus

vestal finch
#

That's kind of the point

cyan notch
#

power creep it out of existence

vestal finch
#

You get infinite dodges but they're shit

#

Vermintide style

olive ember
#

Meh obscurus horde clear good

spice veldt
#

perhaps they were worried about the deimos being too niche?

olive ember
#

Deimos bad

spice veldt
#

I was personally surprised at how many people liked the deimos

cyan notch
#

except theyre not shit on deimos

vestal finch
olive ember
#

But they are

mellow dock
#

hang on

#

didnt you guys say both the new swords are good

olive ember
#

🤔

#

Maybe

spice veldt
#

derpy doesn't like the deimos

mellow dock
#

LOL

#

im confused

cyan notch
#

they are good

ember hornet
#

I once had the best weapon roll, look how they massacred my boy

tidal violet
mellow dock
#

cause i dont have em yet

olive ember
#

I can say it’s good and still hate it

#

Just saying

hexed wedge
#

Is wildfire a new feat or have I just been blind?

mellow dock
#

😂

olive ember
vestal finch
spice veldt
olive ember
#

Wildfire is better but still not useful unless you are going for blazing spirit builds

spice veldt
#

esp with how many people complain about the obscurus' sticky special

#

well deimos doesn't require you to use the special

clear heath
hexed wedge
vestal finch

Forever

If you cope hard enough maybe they’ll bring it back

spice veldt
#

can't believe people use their staffs instead of their melee

#

smh

vestal finch
#

#SaveCRUCIS

ember hornet
#

anyways, I want a good deimos

olive ember
#

It’s like how I’m coping that deflector should be base weapon and the blessing should give me ranged block on device

#

Eh eh? Ranged block on revive is cool for everyone right?

shy prairie
ember hornet
#

it's not like deflector is too strong

olive ember
ember hornet
#

it's just a cool mechanic

cyan notch
#

sure if they allow u to change the locked blessing

ember hornet
#

so I agree

mellow dock
#

Anyone wanna play

shy prairie
#

good penance, even better that it's harder than the supposed "toptier" pskyer penance

mellow dock
#

Assasination mission is up with lights out and High Int

cyan notch
#

if they make sweeping changes to blessings like they always do this locking shit is just gonna brick a lot of shit

mellow dock

Fun mode

crucian bloodthirsty devastating strike

olive ember
vestal finch

Crucian was an "unintended feature"

spice veldt
ember hornet
clear heath
#

no they nerfed crucian again

olive ember
#

Infernus was good on the recon las but apparently it was broken?

clear heath
#

this patch

ember hornet
#

yeah they did

vestal finch
vestal finch
ember hornet
#

and that was for no reason

cyan notch
#

yea im not talking about the melee shit

olive ember
#

^^

spice veldt
#

instead of making crits ignore hitmass for x seconds like BruMo, they made it so that only the critical swing ignored hitmass

#

despite weakspot kills arguably being an easier condition to trigger than crits

ember hornet
#

yup

olive ember
#

They just casually took crucian values and moved the decimal to the left

#

Actually dogshit lmao

ember hornet
#

at least it's not much of a nerf to revolver cause it has shit crit scaling KEKW

olive ember
#

Lmao

clear heath
#

yeah who cares about crucian anyways

olive ember
#

It used to be funny melee only crit build

#

But we can’t have nice things smh

ember hornet
olive ember
#

Yes but

#

It was funny

ember hornet
#

it was funny

#

I ran crit hammer with the DR once

#

and decided it was too heretical

vestal finch
#

Thunder Hammer was broken

#

and fun

cyan notch
#

vets have that shit too

ember hornet
#

it wasn't even broken though

#

it was balanced

#

broken against monstrosities yes

#

everything else, no

olive ember
#

SMH stop exploiting bugs cheater

vestal finch
#

It felt pretty broken to me

#

I guess I'm just too good

cyan notch
#

how was it broken

vestal finch
#

Once I learned how to hit elites in a horde

clear heath
#

are you still talking about using it with crucian?

ember hornet
#

hsword/caxe still outperformed it at highest level

#

even if you played lights out

ember hornet
#

I know how hammer works I have 600 hours with it

#

and did hi5 duos etc

#

It was very good

#

with a lot of effort

#

now you can't even use the special in most situations without taking health damage

vestal finch
#

Maybe you're right

ember hornet
#

but psyker melee is fun in the meantime

olive ember

10/10 Reddit take

#

642 upvotes

ember hornet
#

yeah it's stupid

#

it's just people admitting they like using a melee weapon in far fewer situations

#

and having less fun

blissful dirge
#

Yeah I know how the weapon works, it works fucking badly lmao

ember hornet
#

and abusing ranged with F

#

it's a giant self report

#

I'm trying to kill crushers with hammer now and dumbfuck mcgee just presses F with an autopistol

#

well I guess I didn't bring a hammer for crushers anyways

cyan notch
#

use crusher for crushers

olive ember
#

Use flamer for crushers

ember hornet
#

it's just really mind boggling that I can just switch to my ranged weapon and shoot 3 bullets and press F

#

and kill 10 crushers

#

but nope can't spend 10 seconds moving around in melee to kill 4 crushers

olive ember
#

Tbf that’s the zealot armor strip more than flamer imo

vestal finch
#

the veteran zealot playstyle

olive ember
#

Like the autopistol and brauto pea shooter and press F and it shreds

vestal finch
#

even when you're a melee class ranged still works better

#

lol

ember hornet
#

they really need to remove the F mechanic on ranged and then provide some other buff

#

like idk, making the F actually do more things

olive ember
#

it’s in a weird place where if it got removed it would make some zealot ranged a lot worse

ember hornet
#

Yeah

olive ember
#

But at the same time holy shit it’s jank and unbalanced

ember hornet
#

you can just run hsword + anything

#

which is dumb

olive ember
#

I love pressing F but not actually using it as a charge but to buff my ranged gun

vestal finch
#

remember when people were complaining about hsword being bad?

olive ember
#

Idk zealot just ain’t for me rn, prob doesn’t help that I don’t particularly like the hsword and the thammer

ember hornet
olive ember
#

Well it was bad during the leveling experience

ember hornet
#

and they made it the best one

olive ember
#

Hsword crutches on buffs like headtaker and rampage

ember hornet
#

they have also buffed it what, 4 times?

olive ember
#

No one was getting a headtaker 4 hsword with good states at the start to begin with never mind the buffs

vestal finch
#

This proves all you need to make a weapon god tier is to cry hard enough

ember hornet
#

also the power fix

vestal finch
olive ember
#

So they were using the weapon base and yeah it’s

#

Actually trash

#

I think base the hsword legit does less damage than the claw yeah?

clear heath
#

headtaker numbers on it are just cracked

vestal finch
ember hornet
#

and rampage being a multiplier

ember hornet
clear heath
#

fatshark likes to make some weapons go from complete shit to amazing with a power blessing

ember hornet
#

for a solid month

clear heath
#

blessings in this game are just kinda fucked

ember hornet
#

like autopistol having +100% power

olive ember
#

I mean autopistol is a prime example

ember hornet
#

+150% power

olive ember
#

That gun was literal trash

vestal finch
#

This is how they shake up the meta

olive ember
#

Still is if you don’t have pinning fire

clear heath
#

why do the power blessings have such high numbers?

cyan notch
ember hornet
#

I have this and dear lord it is so busted

olive ember
#

It’s like what

#

A 3 round burst to the body kill a shooter?

ember hornet
#

I don't know how many shots it takes

#

I'm too busy blazing away

vestal finch
#

It takes 2 fully charged voidstrike shots to kill one dreg shooter

#

Or a fully charged one and a half charged one, rather

ember hornet
#

does it really?

olive ember
#

P sure it’s one shot if you hit the head

ember hornet
#

cause I feel like I play void and it doesn't

ember hornet

yes yes

You need to hit enemies for it to work

ember hornet

let's make the weapon 2x as good

vestal finch

you need a constant stream of targets

ember hornet
#

in all aspects

vestal finch

otherwise you die

you clearly don't get it.

ember hornet

like my hammer would be bad right

if it didn't have 135% power

wait

that's how much slaughterer gets you?

ember hornet
#

with thrust

vestal finch
#

Guys, this is a super secret thing I just found out

ember hornet
#

a standard heavy is +95% power

olive ember
vestal finch
#

You can't tell anyone

olive ember
#

Is thrust 50% or just 20%

vestal finch
#

BUT!

#

You can save up Thrust's stacks

#

if you cancel your heavy by blocking

ember hornet
olive ember
#

Oh

idle bay
#

Luckily got a good New Hammer from Melk. And WTF what MORON crated it attack pattern? Someone who HATES players for sure

ember hornet
ember hornet
idle bay
#

O keep getting Strikedown instead of Relentless... .combos in this game are karked...

olive ember
#

I was the one who had poxwalker mr presidenting plague ogryns

#

I am indeed very sad new hammer is shit

ember hornet
vestal finch
#

I learned how to use swing manipulation like a real chivalry pro

#

and hit ragers in a horde

olive ember
#

Chiv 1 or 2

#

Chiv 2 is nothing

idle bay
#

To make new hammer good - just remove the karking Strikedown from Heavy attacks and it's done

olive ember
#

You haven’t mastered the art of the rainbow

idle bay
olive ember
#

Or the reverse 🌈

vestal finch
#

That's the one where you hit someone behind you by looking up right?

rocky cedar

fading patrol
rocky cedar
#

It's easy enough to block cancel every 2 heavies

olive ember
idle bay
olive ember
#

Makes weapon badddd

ember hornet
#

the overhead is definitely not the problem

#

you should be block canceling

#

and pushing

rocky cedar
#

The issue is inconsistent special cleave with power bonuses

#

Those same bonuses that are necessary to hit one shot break points in the first place

idle bay
ember hornet
#

yep

ember hornet
rocky cedar
#

It's actually an advantage of that Hammer if anything

#

With recoil cancel gone

shy prairie
#

just got.. out with a bang
male07

ember hornet
#

nice!

#

I kind of cheesed it I guess

idle bay
ember hornet
#

what difficulty do you play on.....

rocky cedar
#

Then just use crucis and jump honestly

shy prairie
#

5

idle bay
rocky cedar
#

My mate did out with a bang by accident

ember hornet
rocky cedar
#

Over charged by accident

shy prairie
ember hornet
#

but back on the topic of that penance

rocky cedar
#

Noticed elites were near by

cold geode
rocky cedar
#

Rushed in figuring why not

idle bay
rocky cedar
#

Got it KEKW_ogryn

ember hornet
#

I just kept restarting the hab dreyko type map until I found rager packs

#

lol

shy prairie
#

fair enough tbh, it's

#

awful

ember hornet
#

yeah

#

had an ogryn shield a daemonhost for the other awful penance

vestal finch
#

My first character was a psyker, still don't have all the penances done

shy prairie
#

^

vestal finch
#

Zealot was ez asf

ember hornet
#

yeah

#

zealot penances are trivial

vestal finch
#

I did them all in pubs

#

including the speedrun

ember hornet
#

I did all of the penances in beta lol

shy prairie
#

I'm 90% done both psyker and zealot haven't done like 1/2 of vets

ember hornet
#

zealot penances that is

shy prairie
#

ogryn will be my prestige character

rocky cedar
#

Looks how I'd expect

ember hornet
rocky cedar
#

The same I'm pretty sure

ember hornet
#

on like, plogryn

idle bay
rocky cedar
#

When I tested in meat grinder

rocky cedar
ember hornet
#

just tick the special active box

#

and screenshot

idle bay
# rocky cedar New

i was talking about old one. And old one had only light Strikedown... that actually expalined why it sucked

tall torrent
#

so...I made this, and it fucks

rocky cedar
#

@ember hornet

ember hornet
#

yeah rip

ember hornet
idle bay
ember hornet
#

aka actually better cause they one shot trash

rocky cedar
#

So yeah categorically the heavy strike down does more than either hammers cleave heavies

vestal finch
rocky cedar
#

In fact damage calc is saying it does more to flak than special heavies

vestal finch
#

always 2 shot gunners and heavy infantry

rocky cedar
#

Which seems wrong

ember hornet
#

lol

vestal finch
#

lol

rocky cedar
#

Is ironhelm special that much weaker to flak?

#

Or does damage calc not know values for iron special?

ember hornet
#

it one shots flak ragers so no

rocky cedar
#

On the new Hammer?

ember hornet
#

yeah

rocky cedar
#

Guess damage calc doesn't know its special values yet

ember hornet
#

granted I have this

rocky cedar
#

Regardless yeah the strike down heavy does much better single target than the other heavies when special isn't involved

idle bay
vestal finch
#

So I decided to upgrade a new hammer on a whim...

ember hornet
#

anyways I feel bad for continuing so much zealot related talk, but whatever every channel talks about random shit and I'd rather game talk than waifu posting

vestal finch
#

Just spammed consecrate

rocky cedar
#

Unfortunate it doesn't get extra damage from special because light light special heavy is such a slick combo

ember hornet
#

nice

#

sad first target but it won't matter too much really if you get slaughterer

vestal finch
#

How big is the difference between x1.05 and x1.03

ember hornet
#

I'd say just under 2% lol

vestal finch
#

I have another TH with 71% first target

#

so it's really not a big difference

ember hornet
#

nah

vestal finch
#

In the grand scheme of things

ember hornet
#

not in practicality

#

I just like having a hammer that does

#

the most possible unyielding damage in the game

cyan portal
#

I read once that even with cleaving first target matters because the rest do a % of that dmg. Is that true?

ember hornet
#

it makes me big happy when big number

vestal finch
#

That's not how the math works out, I don't think

ember hornet
#

I've heard the same as box

vestal finch
#

It does a % of the base damage, first target multiplier not included

ember hornet
#

haven't verified it myself

#

regardless, hammer doesn't have cleave damage

vestal finch
#

It is very important

#

Cleave on the hammer, I mean

cyan portal
#

Would like to see proof either way, if any exists

vestal finch
#

Those 3 targets aren't going to kill themselves

ember hornet
#

cleave is important for CC and safety at least

#

yeah that 3rd target taking 20 damage really gets me going at night

#

meanwhile power sword killing 30+ poxwalkers in 2 swings

still hearth
vestal finch
still hearth
#

But I don't know if that was a bug

vestal finch
#

It's balanced

ember hornet
#

I love how easy it is to self report in this game

#

and almost all of them are filled to the brim with confidence

#

it's so weird

#

I don't know how this happens

stray radish
ember hornet
#

that's my summary

stray radish
#

fair enough xD

vestal finch
#

Fuck... Now I'm a hammer gambling addict

#

I've had to sell off all my stockpile of emperor's gifts to get enough money for more hammers

stray radish
#

Well, because hammers and Evi feels meh for me right now, I create psyker - never played before, and force swords are funny :D

ember hornet
#

yeah it's funny

#

they are just like, Illisi is OK

#

but hammer

#

it deserves 2+ seconds of lag

vestal finch
#

Illisi generates peril with each charge

still hearth
#

Kek

vestal finch
#

Which just gave me a great idea...

still hearth
#

What an issue

ember hornet
#

as if peril matters lol

still hearth
#

That's actually a benefit

ember hornet
#

yup

still hearth
vestal finch
#

What if they gave the power sword a heat meter like the plasma gun?

ember hornet
#

so I didn't realize but

#

Holy shit does peril quell fast on staff now

#

like what

forest coral
#

mhmm

still hearth
#

Peril quells fast on everything tbf

forest coral
#

makes quietetude reaaally good

ember hornet
#

but like

vestal finch
#

psyker nerfs incoming

still hearth
#

Like 3s to full quell on hands

ember hornet
#

why did they buff it SO MUCH

still hearth
#

2s on staff

#

Who knows

#

Its fun

ember hornet
#

it is fun

pliant junco
#

i dont like ilisi nor any "press button" weapon such a lame design

ember hornet
#

but they did the thing where

#

now there is 1 build

still hearth
#

I rarely use the special for anything but peril gain

ember hornet
#

close enough to 1 build anyhow

still hearth
#

The attacks feel so good anyway

forest coral
#

the accessibility faceroll build and then everything else

ember hornet
#

lol

vestal finch
ember hornet
#

gotta prep for Xbox

pliant junco
#

power sword may be braindead and op its boring af to play and you can largely play almost another melee weapon on vet with decent result

still hearth
#

Zealot buffs when

ember hornet
#

hammer recoil removal when

cyan portal
#

Hopefully all the flavor of the month Psykers will be as bad as the average vet and so we'll get to stay op so they can beat heresy

ember hornet
#

if I'm good enough to use only a hammer, please just fucking let me

still hearth
#

Hammer recoil bug fix: Now stuns for 5s

pliant junco
#

real

ember hornet
#

I need the feeling of bonking many things to keep me going

#

it's basically heroine

vestal finch
#

Thunder Hammer now deals self-damage every time you hit an enemy with a Special

pliant junco
ember hornet
still hearth
#

Thunder Hammer explodes and you no longer have a melee

shy prairie
#

Thunder Hammer striking Bulwark shield now causes knockback for the user.

ember hornet
#

I literally just trade health now

#

to feel the bonks

still hearth
#

I'll protect you with my Crusher

ember hornet
#

I'll care about living when I'm under 25%

vestal finch
#

Right now it just lets enemies maul you for a few seconds

ember hornet
#

hey let's have hi5 and also shock troop

#

and also

#

a mechanic that disables all player freedom for 2+ seconds

#

because that scales

steel flame
#

No thanks

stray radish
#

well, for me using Hswords and Caxes is boring, I like class specific weapons :p

steel flame
#

I like playing the game thankyou

ember hornet
#

like

stone pulsar
#

is the staff's weapon special used for anything? the melee strikes seem useless

steel flame
#

No

ember hornet
#

why the FUCK would I use a gun on psyker lol

still hearth
#

Yes

ember hornet
#

it just dilutes the pool

#

for no reason

still hearth
#

Staff special stacks Flurry

steel flame
#

Shredder on psyker is cool and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise

stone pulsar
#

it...works on warp flurry?

ember hornet
#

shredder is cool on everything cause it's broken lol

still hearth
#

Yes

#

LMB and special stack flurry

lethal folio
#

That should have been fixed.

still hearth
#

Maybe not then

steel flame
#

It was

still hearth
#

Sad

#

So in that case no

#

It's useless

smoky fractal
#

gun psyker is a little less memey this patch tho

true cobalt
#

just made a meme force sword its fun but does not work aswell as i hoped

stone pulsar
#

ahh. anyways what does the acendent blaze 10% chance to gain a charge do? if a enemy dies with soulblaze on i get a 10% chance to get a charge?

still hearth
#

It's actually more memey

#

Biggest meme

ember hornet
#

what all does warp unleashed buff now

still hearth
#

Everything

smoky fractal
#

the changes really put some respectable damage on guns

stone pulsar
#

even brain burst.

ember hornet
#

it's just a flat power buff?

still hearth
#

Damage

ember hornet
#

damage ok

vestal finch
#

Scaling with peril.

steel flame
#

All da damage

ember hornet
#

so cool

#

psyker just gets +50% damage on everything lol

vestal finch
#

You can reliably 1 shot ragers and flamers now

still hearth
#

You can get up to 3.72x damage on Autopistols now

smoky fractal
#

so like, you can see it

ember hornet
#

meanwhile zealot is like, have 25% when you F

smoky fractal
#

but its not always the best option

stone pulsar
#

the peril quelling buff means you can't keep the damage up often

ember hornet
#

for 1 hit

still hearth
#

Zealot kinda bad atl

#

Sad

#

Atm*

smoky fractal
#

ive always seen chastise as a heal button mostly

vestal finch
#

This is how they incentivize playing different classes

#

They nerf one and buff another with every patch

smoky fractal
#

i use it alot to retreat

true cobalt
#

the new illisi force sword you can just spam spec to keep peril up

vestal finch
#

First they got all the psykers to stop playing

#

Now they're being brought back and zealots are out

ember hornet
#

zealot is still braindead with hsword caxe taxe tho

steel flame
#

I dunno. Warp unleashed doesn't add much to shredder. It's damage was already so ridiculous and it's only weakness covered by bb and lacerations, the extra 25% from WU is just overkill

stone pulsar
#

i use chastise as a DPS boost. i take the +20% attack speed one.

smoky fractal
#

zealot rn is braindead

#

faceroll and win

ember hornet
stone pulsar
#

heavy sword + chastise = dead horde

true cobalt
#

Warp unleashed does let you hit some dumb brain burst break points aswell

still hearth
#

You hit oneshot breakpoints on poxwalkers

smoky fractal
#

fuckin carapace

still hearth
#

That's not nothing

smoky fractal
ember hornet
#

I was gonna do a hammer special only run at some point to see how much overkill I could get, but NOT ANYMORE

smoky fractal
#

but got pinning * blaze away

#

hmmm

stone pulsar
#

meanwhile i am 200 melkbucks away from getting T4 warp nexus but....i completed all my quests already T_T

true cobalt
#

i do like the inspiring barrage blessing

steel flame
ember hornet
#

I'm kind of sad that I don't like purg after getting a T4 nexus t4 flurry one with a good roll

smoky fractal
#

is it worth tho is the question

ember hornet
steel flame
#

The uptime on WU with the quell change means it doesn't provide much for gunplay

ember hornet
stone pulsar
#

i thought with purg warp channelling is prefered so you don't get cancelled by a poxwalker stab?

true cobalt
#

250% its kind of nuts tho

ember hornet
#

it only buffs coherency regen

#

that's it

#

it's awful

stone pulsar
#

wait what. i thought it just recovered you toughness.

ember hornet
#

nope

stone pulsar
#

wtf.

steel flame
smoky fractal
#

there a video on reddit showing some guns working as intended

still hearth
smoky fractal
#

yeah agree

still hearth
#

If it was 100% and stacked faster

#

It would actually be good

#

Not amazing

smoky fractal
#

games values moving forward than enabling to turtle

still hearth
#

But you'd be able to use it

ember hornet
#

but also more often than not you aren't gonna fire a whole clip to get like 20 toughness

#

lol

true cobalt
#

its only like half a clip to max

steel flame
#

Go with blaze away

true cobalt
#

i got 1 with blaze aswell

still hearth
ember hornet
#

it is definitely not

still hearth
#

Blaze Away and Pinning Fire makes the weapon

ember hornet
#

to max what

still hearth
#

Max Inspiring Stacks

ember hornet
#

lol

steel flame
#

For toughness on shredder build I run essence and 3 relics with 30% Regen speed. It's not the fastest Regen but it's constant with kb and Flayer and I can mitigate most damage anyway with the stupid amount of stagger and suppression the shredder has

still hearth
#

Well, that's an interesting way to play

#

Run it on Veteran instead whatthefuck_heresy

#

75% toughness dr bby

ember hornet
#

just never get shot

#

or else you wont regen

still hearth
#

Toughness regen curios takes the delay down by about half I think

#

Which might be 1.5s on Autopistol

#

So at 0.75s delay you can probably get it rolling before you leave a slide

#

Idk if I'd consider it worth it though

steel flame
#

Shredders better on psyker. It's only weakness is ogryns, and BB laceration counters them completely

still hearth
#

Nah its definitely better on Vet still, because Vet is OP

ember hornet
#

yes much better when you have 100-166 toughness than when you have 1300

lethal folio
#

Bear in mind Autopistol has assault toughness, which is broken and terrible if you are moving and not aiming, because the code is still backwards.

still hearth
#

Just stand still and regen like insane

ember hornet
#

jesus

still hearth
#

Not a prio

ember hornet
#

it would literally take

#

all of 5 seconds to fix

still hearth
#

Probably

cyan notch
#

what about rashad

ember hornet
#

that is a crab only weapon

#

and will remain so

lethal folio
#

This is a murder machine. Even the slicing lights oneshot bucket heads with the buffs up.

ember hornet
#

question, does anyone actually play VT on consoles?

#

I just cant imagine how bad of an experience it would be to play this game with a controller

sacred dome
#

Depends on, I've tried it, comfy af.

#

Comfy to put pc to tv big screen and just lean back.

ember hornet
#

it might be comfy on like malice, where you don't have to do many inputs

sacred dome
#

Depends on, I mean you're asking a very vague question. What is your definition of a bad experience and why does it apply to controller and how is it hard to imagine?

I'd say this:
-controller is comfy, you can lean back
-probably not gonna play damnation on a controller cuz hard af
-point was to be comfy, controller wins in comfy

ember hornet
#

I suppose I could see controller for really casual play

#

would be limited in terms of weapons/playstyles

#

very limited but

lethal folio
#

Controller mode does have aim-assist.

ember hornet
#

how does aim assist work in hi5

sacred dome
#

Agreed.
But ye if you meant to say "don't play controller on highest difficulty" then ye, play only melee chars I'd advice, but then again ain't going for min-max BiS stuff.

ember hornet
#

I guess it's all perception

#

my playstyle is whipping around a hammer and sliding like madman etc, just couldn't do that on a controller

sacred dome
#

Yup, I suck at controller so would only play melee chars. Seen some sick players w controllers, but it's hard. Controller is couch relax mode for me.

ember hornet
#

I was a halo kid once but that's the last time I've used a controller lol

sacred dome
#

The pain of aiming trauma staff w a controller. Nightmare fuel

ember hornet
#

I bet

sacred dome
#

+100% peril before you shoot

ember hornet
#

how do you even move aim and dodge/slide at the same time

#

in succession with slides in multiple directions

cyan notch
#

i play controller

#

just press the buttons

ember hornet
#

but you need 2 thumbs on sticks

sacred dome
#

Most ppl don't, I guess. Even w keyboard and my casual buddies we tend to try and hold straight lanes only.

ember hornet
#

and also fingers pressing buttons

cyan notch
#

slide your fingers over a/b to slide

sacred dome
#

I don't headshot every elite on 0,1 sec and BB the ogryns etc.

ember hornet
#

I suppose if you just don't and learn to play that way it's an option

cyan notch
#

you gotta take your thumb off the right thumbstick for a split second yea

sacred dome
#

Usually hit the pleb unit right next to the reaper and game over 🤣

cyan notch
#

or u can use paddles

ember hornet
#

this is heresy

cyan notch
#

i used to play bolt staff on controller with aim assist turned off too

#

that one was a bit hard

ember hornet
#

but hey, it's impressive you can make it work lol

#

I'd probably throw my controller at my screen before the end of the match

cyan notch
#

u dont really need ultra precise aim with psyker

#

autopistol and mgxii were fine too

#

melee combat is not an issue that ones pretty ez

ember hornet
#

I would pay to see mg12 controller gameplay with a scoreboard at the end

cyan notch
#

probs easiest on john shootgun

cyan notch
#

thats john sexman

ember hornet
#

no it's John magicman

#

simply touch an artifact and your desires will come true

fiery atlas
#

so how are we feeling about new psyker swords

spice veldt
#

OOOOOO RAAAAAAH

ember hornet
#

good

fiery atlas
#

most devious

#

i will be toying with illisi more when I can

#

i'm depressed rn so my drive to do anything related to games is low

ember hornet
#

illisi = dopamine

cyan notch
#

plasteel = dopamine

ember hornet
#

ngl I kinda hate how much plasteel there is in random fucking corners

fiery atlas
#

they should give us more plasteel

#

SCfloppaCHOMP MMMM AMONNOMONOMNOM GIMME MORE PLASTEEL

cyan notch
#

thats why i have the kind of cheating mod where u can see mats from far away

ember hornet
#

oh shit that's a thing

#

yeah screw the mats implementation I'm installing that

cyan notch
#

yea u can see the icons from up to 80m away lmao

#

default apparently is only 15m

fiery atlas
#

might just stay on malice and farm for a while

#

or heresy

#

damnation is not it rn

#

joined a low intens damnation run and managed to lose everyone as soon as I spawned in

you probably get more/the same from losing damnation than winning malice

Its one of the strongest buffs and the single target sword still kills things

just one at a time

u can use unstable power then

golden tartan

never

#

Nope

#

Not once

scarlet timber
#

my secondary is voidstirke

golden tartan
#

😛

scarlet timber
#

well i got chaff clear with my staff

golden tartan
#

Void is faster when the horde is thick and you get the juicy collateral

#

Like when you get the 6 or 7 chaff in your face you arent gonna swap off the deimos to the voidstrike

#

You just gonna merc them and go back to killing the boss/elites

summer prairie
#

slaughterer doesn't matter then though

golden tartan
#

And voidstrike will generally leave stragglers lying around

golden tartan
summer prairie
#

for 2 seconds

golden tartan
#

3.5

#

Thats basically doubling the damage of your heavies

#

Which is a lot of damage

summer prairie
#

FS slaughterer is 2 seconds unless they just changed it

cyan notch
#

they did not

golden tartan
#

2s then my bad

#

Still like what else are you gonna take?

summer prairie
#

unstable power is consistent damage for your l1-h2 pokes

golden tartan
#

You are gonna get chaff mixed in with the boss regardless. A lone boss is a non threat anyway
