but not dying like an idiot
also you're a psyker period
between sniping specials with BB
and warpunleahsed melee damage
you barely have to do any more
sniping specials is like most of the rest of the work you need to carry a pug group
and you can do that with any long range tool, psyker just happens to have BB built in
if you kill elite everyone in coherency gets reduction
does it have to be your kill?
i'm still confused about that
like do you need the last hit or can it be anyone in cohernecy
yes; it must be killed by the Psyker with Psykinetic's Aura to proc the CDR for everyone in coherency
i mean, i'm not arguing that it's meta best pick, but, this idea that it's barely playable dog-tier is just objectively provably false
it's not "barely playable", but it is masochistic for no obviously good reason
It's objectively worse than other options by a large margin
like right now the state of psyker is
strong af
you can use a fucking grey recon lasgun and clear
that's not recon lasgun being good or even decent or even mediocre
it's psyker
warp unleashed is a helluva drug
turns out when you staple multiple multiplicative power buffs onto a weapon (before blessings) you kill things
news at 11
in all seriousness how would you make hte recon las fit a niche
it used to be infernus but fatshark said no to that
how would it be tuned to not just be a reskinned autopistol/autogun
general damage buff
I think its a boring gun to begin with
then massively buff it's weakspot/crit damage
Unnerf Infernus π¦
You have to kill
Also keep in mind it's elites+specials despite the game just saying elites
Idk why they nerfed infernus tbh
it should be a pin point laser
autogun is already the headshot weapon though
Siblings, these are my first two weapons on lvl30 psyker
reward using it as such
Itβs such a weird thing to nerf especially looking at the dmg we can do now
If it was good it would also be brainless to use.
and just wanted to ask what 2nd blessing to switch the other time
They are for sure
Wow
is Warp Flurry viable on purg or
I dont agree with fatsharks design there
is it bad and sacrifice for Hardon
Since flurry got fixed
I don't like warp flurry on purgatus but that's just me
Purge meta is flurry + nexus
mhm so it will work
i strongly prefer interruption immunity because i'm weird
FS meta is slaughterer + wte you choose
Perhaps giving it more damage comparatively in exchange for barely having stagger/suppression. A simple damage boost would solve the problems of ammo efficiency and dps at the same time.
The blessings list needs to be tweaked too
that's probably enough
Autoguns are massive headshot multiplier but meh damage and ammo economy
So recon las could just be a bodyshot damage focused weapon with low headshot multiplier as it's hilariously inaccurate
Almost all of them are not something you want on the gun. Blaze away, cavalcade, good options
make it feel like a flamer but at midrange
for that FS, I reckon I will find better one and sacrifice IV Slaughterer to Hadron
Depends on the gun, vraks 3 is extremely ammo efficient and a bodyshot monster that hits one burst breakpoints on all shooters without perks
oh yeah
I meant more the Infantry autoguns
BTW because of uncanny strike I can 1 shot headshot scab gunner with light attack 
Haven't played around with IAG's much, mostly stick to brauto and vraks 3 nowadays
I should at least
I actually just want it to have more ammo
Let it be this constant stream of damage to wear enemies down
with uncanny it just is stupidly decent against multiple armored enemies
I use the agrippna infantry auto extensively on zealot because of the push-F-to-pierce-armor interaction
it's FUN to push F then headshot two crushers to death at range
the probably-bug-early-on-but-eventually-feature of having armor penetration on weapons while in zealot F is an invaluable asset to its overall gameplay IMHO
I say that as a zealot with revo about to hit 250 missions π
talking about guns, why do the autogun sometimes give u the super fast reload?
RNG reload 
mind bullets
finally got out with a bang, shout out to the peril building power of the illsi lol
I think the main reason Psyker is strong now is because the staves are so woefully undertuned that they have to prop psykers up with feats to make competitive. Like the voidstrike staff seems neat, until you realize it is effectively a half damage plasma rifle.
idk I find the void staff pretty great for ranged horde clear, plus its solid at takeing out shooters around cover
as an aside, do we know if the new swords have deflector built in is intentional or not
I don't see how it can be intentional if there is still a deflector blessing tbh
it's definitely not intentional
the new force swords also have the old ass bug where swapping to them momentarily makes you move faster
might be moving to deprecate it
the fact that deflector (the blessing) is still in the pool makes me think unintentional lmao can you imagine
So did psyker get shotgun as well?
if only π¦
wish psyker can get shotgun/brace but i can understand people getting upset the range pool have too many guns> stave
I could see them doing it knowing it would cause how many of us to reroll swords and burn god knows how much plasteel
probably just copium on my part
i mean, just testing VraksIII right now vs Recon 6d+Infernus, standing on far side of psykanium, I kill gunners/reapers just as fast if not faster with the recon than the Vraks, since at that distance can't guarantee every Vraks shot is a headshot
if they keep the deflector bug then deflector blessing need to be rework into something else so doubt they'll let us keep it
Recommended level 20 feat?
blocking
Post the guns you're using
Also, why are you testing them exclusively in a way that would benefit the 6d the most due to falloff?
from my testing i got around 1.1k dps on reaper or 1.6k (if BB happen) then again i don't know if i was using the best range since i was using the vld
Deimos obliterates single targets but brain burst already kinda does that
because that's the scenario where I would want to use a gun rather than a staff, picking off shooters/gunners at medium/long range, rather than having to peep and BB over and over
proof that gun psyker is bad 
well a thread pointing out the innate deflector was marked as aknowledged so there goes that lol
Hello there. I'm starting my journey with Psyker. lvl10 - deimos and Palpatine staff. What curios I need to look for? Is stamina +3 needed?

+3 stamina not really needed once u get the level 20 blessing but i think if u not there it a ok choice
just play vet
block with peril?
- no BB
Sad part is it's pretty much proof that's how the fs was designed. They probably chopped it because they couldn't think of enough blessings for the pool
Honestly depends, i use one stam curio for better blocks and sprints
yeah
i say let us keep it and rework the deflector blessing to give idk block efficiency increase and mobility or something
but force sword has one of the bigger blessing pools in the game
I second this
Something has 10 blessings
make it reflect 
Tac axe?
You need to test at medium and long range then, as opposed to purely as far away as you can. I would like to see your testing guns, as I know you aren't running gray versions of both.
If you count precognition as a blessing
hate that zealot crusker is all impact blessing when the weapon impact is super good already 
regardless, force sword is on the higher end of blessing count
it didn't really need extra blessings to pad out the pool
What's a good blessing for a single target sword
sluaghterer
executor is probably not terrible on the deimos
it's moveset should let you consistently hit weakpoint easier
would be good on either i think
Executor on illisi is great
sweep the heads
not sure why you'd not try with optimal blessings, as part of the whole reason to run recon 6d is Infernus, and part of the reason headhunters are meh is they don't have any great blessings
what
i saw a clip on reddit where we can 1 shot the mutant with deimos
was cool ngl, try it myself but only manage 2.6k 
They probably had damage to mutant perk
Also your first target is probably losing you 10% or so
Uh, what? Who told you that headhunters were "meh" or that they didn't have great blessings?
true, i need to find a better one 
You also still haven't the guns
i could try the "test" but i don't think i have a good HH
whats the best staff for spamming m1? or are they all the same
all the same expect purg
(quell staff)
what great blessings do they have?
the flamethrower one?
a little blep blast or a small flame poof
yeah, the flamer LMB is a short burst one for straggering
that's all the m1 you get
ππ»
the only HH i have, i guess i can test with this
the agri is the worst hh

I like agri because it has highest damage per shot
Crucian roulette is the big one, or at least it was before the recent change which undertuned it heavily. No respite is quite good on them due to having pretty good stagger across the board and some having ridiculous stagger. I'm guessing a crit fishing build with deadly/headhunter might be meta now for 3 but I'd have to see.
i can't do a fair teste then, this is the other HH i have but vs my recon it would be a complety bias testing
oh well π€·ββοΈ
Yeesh
crucian is still probably better then headhunter
It's really, really undertuned now
i could use this but this is a autogun so 
agri iag is great
what counts as a repeated weak point hit?
Here's my vraks 3 for reference, although I'll probably have to roll an alternative
Headshots
is it same target consecutive headshots?
can be a different target
or can I cleve a horde?
repeated = don't break your attack chain (swap weapons, wait too long, block)
or wait do I even want that since peril = bonus damage
hmmmm, idk if this mean it good far damage on everything else that isn't listed
and what kind of DPS do you get with that on a Reaper, if you're not standing next to it?
Pick a range
i got around 1.2k from this far
standing between the poxs and groaners
'cos from there, I get about 1400 with recon on reaper, without any stacks/buffs/feats
mine or his?
idk what they where smoking when they nerfed crucian
i guess i switch it too fast or something
Trade out +8% specialist or +20% Carapace on an Illisi?
cara
Here's the talent setup. Nothing damage boosting. Counterfire only boosts weakspot damage on volley fire and that wasn't used.
Itβs something that happens when you switch to Warp Battery on Psykanium
ah
Wrong channel fuckn BLUNT
This channel is for cool kids
also from my testing i think i got:
1.2k without buff
1.4k with buff + WU (at 80ist%
1.6k with 6 charges+WU (at 0%)

Can go a little higher or lower depending on the crits.
I mean itβs certainly better now with warp unleashed buff
honesty wish there was a tanker flak/unarmor enemy and not unyielding, since this recon have bad damage to it
valk have around 150-200 more dps 
wait i didn't test that far give me a min
game crash
bruh
skill issue
My vraks 3 has 5x the base unyielding damage
xD
And over 6.5x the the weakspot and crit damage per bullet
ok im getting 1k-1.2k cause skill issue and sometime the reaper get surpress
like where the head 
Well, it looks like you're pulling a lower number even with two perks that would boost your damage to reapers, and the benefit of inverted falloff.
the thing is
i could have stopped firing half way through that, and logged out
and the reaper would still die
Infernus does do more damage to reapers than most targets, last I checked
okay?
so that why it always so high to them
That's a lot of factors going in your favor with these tests and my nerfed vraks 3 was still able to beat it out
i used to use achlys axe and its so nice i have a force sword equiivalent now
not sure that innate Vet 15% weakspot damage is in my favour, but okay
actually it seem good on flak too, even better then reaper
but for real guys, are we really going to aruge about recon weapon being not bottom of the barrel pick, it clearly outskill by most of the weapons in the game anyways even if it good in it niche
Oh that's fair, I forgot that existed. But you are the one who was testing with weakspot hits. We can compare bodyshots if you like
I can't think of any niche for the recon for it to be "good" in honestly
I guess it's the best infernus user
infernus isn't trivial, alot of times I have to break off shooting, and 5s later the thing dies
people who like high rate rate wepaon i guess, that the only real niche i can think of
that kinda my main weapon of using it
recon would feel a lot better if i could tap fire without a cooldown between clicks
and, again, I'm not arguing that its way better, just that it isn't the bottom of the barrel you think it is
It's some nice icing on the cake, but sadly doesn't carry the weapon into competitiveness by itself. Not that it's particularly good game design to have a weapon NEED an extremely rare blessing to push it into being decent or good.
"icing on the cake" literally doubling your damage
dps wise not really
It doesn't double your dps, no.
it like bleed knife
That test was also extremely imbalanced in the recons favor by the way.
it good for hitting a traget and going to the next one, but it doesn't increase your dps as fast as just a damaging blessing (i could be 100% wrong i don't use knife that much just saying)
but again, this is obsessing over raw DPS numbers, when in a real match there's alot more going on
Two perks that affect damage to reapers on your gun, infernus does considerably more to reapers, recon doing full damage at that range
tbf i don't think we can get a apple to apple fair test unless it the same family of weapons beacuse of diff blessing
unless we just straight up only use gray or something
using gray isn't apples to apples either
some weapons are carried by their blessings, others aren't
Using them both at 15m should result in equal damage from range bonuses
Assuming they work how I think they work
or we could use the close range recon to test the close range gun
There's a big dps difference between the recon models
oh yeah
All this optimisation about guns when in reality you take WU and IFS and it doesn't matter what's in your ranged slot, it will do fine.
with like infernus 3
difference between infernus 3 and 4 is pretty huge
VIIa? i hate that one honesty, feel like vld is that but better
wouldn't recommend recon without infernus 4
9
6
t4 is 9, t3 is 6
just had an ogryn res me and say "Once more psyker. Show me your strength" never had such a morale boost
ah
More info from my prior testing.
mk2 is the close range fast one right?
Middling fire rate close range one, yes
Slowest is 7a
oh I was using the vld
which is also close range
i also just noticed recon uses 2 ammo per shot
idk why i thought "lower number = slower"
7a uses 2 ammo, but only that one
For ammo efficiency I was counting the damage it did with each ammo consumed
All recons have the same ammo pool
you sure it uses 2 ammo to shoot once?
has anyone done the malleus monstrorum penance? the 90% health on a monstrosity with brainburst in Heresy threat?
2 rounds?
can comfirmed
So if you tap it you'll shoot twice and poof 4 ammo
oh shit, so does the laspistol
what weapons are really good for end game psyker? i have just started playing it
purgatus force staff seems to be a good one
the flame staff however that's actually spelled
any staff is good
either of the new force swords are great
antax is good but boring
I do love the Deimos force sword
any gun that is good on other classes is good
^
autopistol is meta on psyker cause of pinning fire + AB
im done with the recon talk for now, got to go do some irl shit 
Of course, you could just use those guns on vet....
how did you calculate that? given that the maximum of the damage range for all 3 is 52.5
tap firing drastically reduces fire rate
Damage to to unarmored per ammo used according to the stat screen, not taking ranges bonuses/penalties into account
This was for 80% rolled guns
what is the best way to get weapons with rolls like that? is it just Brunt's armory?
keep an eye on Exchange whenever possible, high rolls will still pop up in there, and sometimes you'll get a nice roll from Brunt when yer flush with cash
Emprah also gives nice uns occasionally, and Melk can have em but that's obv not common
Keep in mind that the damage number you get when hovering over the damage stat is misleading and guns have various boosts/negatives to armor types as visible when pressing tab in the inspect menu.
unstable power maxes at the listed value right?
I'll have to check the exchange more frequently then
unstable power stacks 4 times; t3 unstable power grants you a stack of 4% power at 20/40/60/80 peril
most efficient timing for me is checking the exchange on the :50-55 minute mark, checking both exchanges, then yer free til the following hour's 50-55
And it seems to stick around for a second after dropping below a threshold.
so max stacks at t4 is 20% power
And another note, if you're looking for particular blessings, check the limited acquisitions once a day. Probably the best way to earn blessings
It honestly feels like the only way to earn blessings lol
I'm pretty on it with checking that
the thing is, the difference between say, 50% and 80%, on some stats, on some weapons, is a huge difference, and on others its literally impossible to feel any difference
so depending on the weapon, don't sweat about getting all stats maxed
got Warp Nexus 4 early so I've been religious with that one
for the Illis force is it worth charging the sword more than once each time or does it just refresh it and people do it to stack peril?
How is Blazing Spirit blessing? Good?
Meme
they should make dot damage a bit better.
Eh itβs just how the blessing is overall
You have to crit to apply the dot and of the things you crit half of em are dead anyways
charging seems to only refresh the duration; and yeah you could do that to generate peril to quell for quietude or just damage buffs from unstable power or warp unleashed n' all that
was making me think that on crit effects are for hard targets or bosses
its a little better for trauma/voidstrike since things on the edge get burn damage instead of just tickled by stagger
recommended blessings on Illis? Deflector and Slaughter?
I like slaughterer and unstable power
why unstable?
Eh you arenβt rly using the voidstrike or trauma on bosses tbh
does it scale with ranged too?
Itβs mainly just for more horde clear
cuz moar power = more cleave
I have decided that illisi only psyker with quicken and quietitude is giga broken tier
Quicken?
illisi is giga broken tier
Care to explain
Illisi isnt even broken bruh its a bootleg power sword
is this a solid base?
yes, and I'm of the opinion that the power sword is also broken
The heretical furry has a point
indeed
Not bad, tho the perk is E
this was illisi only with shock Troop 
what perks we aiming for?
so cross my fingers on one being a roll for it got it
What staff you pair with it anyways
I was running trauma
so I am really enjoying Ill with surge
void a better pair
DONT FUCK ME HADRON
they pair super well imo
i have a 620k damage run with shock trooper by using the illisi
actually busted
yeah it's absurd
π¦
Itβs over
time toooo say goood byeeeee
it's definitely power sword tier broken
π€ oof
I went into a game with a particularly good vet and they still outdamaged me tho with their god damned power cycler power sword
I guess max maniac and 15% flak is better than 10% sprint eff LOL
managed to make this from a brunt piece
still need to figure out what im doing perk wise
prob swap crit for flak
executor is good tho i think
It feels rly nice that psyker gets good melee weapons finally
Nah unstable/slaughterer is just so much easier to maintain
Rip zealot tho
Zealots still feel great
i can't see myself keep up unstable on deimos
if you hit a body does it reset?
yeah i feel like your uptime wouldnt be great
but you know what
but it esay to keep up since most of the attack pattern should always hit head
I'll test it
Just run deflector smh
it consistent for me
TRUE
Filthy bug exploiter
thats me!
got so many rez's with deflector
executor is bad, it instantly drops if you chasrge
charge
but holy shit the deimos does a lot of damage
i can one shot mutants without charging?
insanity
yeah i kinda use exec for horde clearing tbh
i don't like executor because I just qq cancel the 1st heavy if I ever want to use the normals
sweet mother of christ, i managed to remove the tshirt i was using
any preferred perks and blessings for a surge staff? Is flurry worth it?
Nexus and flurry
i suspected as much, ty
It seems nexus and flurry are just overall bis
pretty much
Running it on my purge surge trauma void is quelling and flurry lol
even if not used together they have their builds on each staff
If i could get them on my shredder build why not rofl style points screw pinnin blaze
perks are bad right, which should I reroll?
the change to warp unleashed makes me wanna run an autopistol/illisi psyker build
dew it
i gotta get an autopistol and illisi for psyker
thats the problem
aint got either
I haven't used my secondary for the past 3 games on damnation shock troop
lol
illisi autopistol might be one of the most broken things in the game atm
good job psykers
My plan to start playing Psyker last paid off
I was running duel sword shredder before now its ill shredder and i love it
The funniest thing is spamming sword special to build peril for warp unleashed dmg pistol shots you just stroke your sword over and over. Slaneesh is proud
casually killing 2 flak ragers in one swing
I could actually unironically run revolver cause it just doesn't matter
mfw the prophesized day of meaningful psyker buffs has finally arrived
mfw psyker gets this and I get this
the hammer got kneecapped so psyker could get out of the wheelchair
psyker went from 0-100 real quick
i mean, if you analyze strength purely from reddit memes, sure
Every match now is triple psyker so i started playing my zealot and veteran more to support my new siblings
Where the hell did they all come from
the only reason I play zealot is for fire shotgun now lol
The Warp
600 hours of playing a skill based weapon and it's nerfed into the ground, guess I'll join all the brainless builds that fatshark buffs
Hammer? Just spam lights like a true chad savoring each individual heretic kill one at a time
I used to dive packs of ogryns and bonk all of them
but I guess I should just press F with an autopistol or flame weapon instead
or use illisi 
You could always flame on with firesword
is deimos crit blaze a thing
deimos doesn't really have the attack pattern for it
deimos doesnt have particularly good crit and it tends to one shot things so you wont be able to make blaze stacks
ah
its quite good if you primary a staff with good hoarding ability
its basically a force sword equivalent to achlys imo
Tbh if you wanna blazing spirit prob run trauma
Meme void is like you need rapid fire macro
this thing slaps
maybe its just me, bad rolls on weapons and what not, but i haven't become enamored with the new swords. they aren't bad, but nothing slaps like my antax with bm/dec
Antax with BM is still prbably BiS
I still use it with my Surge Staff
but this thing is no joke
I saw some folks saying it cant hurt elites
that aint true
this thing will clap anything
the illisi is very strong
it won't hurt elites in a mixed horde
It kinda does
give me horizontal lights, vertical heavies and a beefy special for extra damage
i whot. illi with slaughter blows anything the BM Antax could dream of out of the water
Only problem is that itβs lights only have like 2 cleave
here's the illisi's heavy cleave distribution with t4 slaughterer (10.5 cleave)
here's the antax light cleave distribution with t4 decimator
That with or without special
that's without
here's the heavy-special and t4 slaughterer (18.4 cleave)
i hope people aren't light-spamming with the new force swords
I will shit in your pants if you light-spam and then go on to say that they're not that great
Can somebody explain for a psyker noob why illisy is op and Deimos isnβt?
i'll still shit in your pants
people do like the Deimos, but they don't seem to be on right now
you're not real
I use the Deimos with my Purghatus
I like the illisi because the special doesn't lock you into place and a cleave melee is always appreciated
and I didn't know the cleave values yesterday
you can also spam the special button in order to quickly gain peril
smh you don't know the cleave values of the force swords off the top of your head even though you're not a psyker main? smh weirdo
which you can use to buff your damage or heal yout shiled
they're just specialized at different things
I know wierder shit off the top of my head
for this game
hit me with one of em
just how rending works
ah right
that shit
engrained in my head through ptsd
people also like the deimos because three of our four staffs are hordeclear, so it's a bit redundant to bring the illisi
6 cleave 1st heavy and stabs that actually do meaningful damage
infintite dodges that are insanely good
How does that feel
Well, Deimos looks fun for me. I like stabby-stabby. But Iβm only lvl12 psyker, and I spent nearly 300h on zealot, so I need some time adjusting to new character xd
I was finishing weeklys on my vet
Heresy
Illisi is so strong that with god base rolls I donβt care for god blessings
putting the fire shotgun through its paces
Heβs too busy appeasing the filthy powersword samurai
Is fire shotgun for preacher too?
yeah
after I got an agripina shotgun just
ruined
I am probably gonna play my pskyer for the rest of today

regarding conversation from a bit ago
what do you even need to think about with illisi
literally deletes everything
Iβm making the switch too rn and I blow myself up wayyy more than I care to admit
one thing I noticed for both the fs is they both feel great for clutching
the staying power of the illis and the movement of the demios is just 10/10 for that
yeah psyker definitely stronger alone than they used to be
Palpatine staff is weird for me, so Iβm waiting for flame one π€£
I only liked Surge Staff on my way to 30 since I was playing a lot of Hersey and my low stats mattered less when doing cc
only on the primary
unfortunately
Purge Staff feels good now with good stat rolls
oof
and havenβt gotten to seriously try Trauma or Void
void and trauma the only ones I use
same for the most part
I need to build a Void next
but I bring out the purge every once and a while
Got a serviceable Illis + Purge currently
Purge kinda just makes me sad because itβs like Flamer if the Flamer was bad balanced
Fair
Infinite ammo doesnβt even matter too because Flamer has such good ammo economy
purg outdamages flamer pretty free tbh, the juice is just split between the weapon itself and feats
I actually didnβt know Void Staff existed until I made a Psyker
very high damage
if the purg could stagger shotgunners and nothing else i would be happy
how much damage does max blaze stacks do
Yeah Purge stagger is throwing me off coming from Flamer
some stuff just keeps coming at me unexpectedly
I completed a Heresy with the ENDLESS ENDLESS horde bug thanks to purgatus
Oh whats that game? you spawned infinite Poxwalkers?
good thing I have infinite blaze

Ya know I just realized thatβs Melk
Didnβt realize Melk was higher ranked than morrow tho
there's banter about melk having an actual title
is Surge any good on Voidstrikes?
or does it only work on the primary fire?
morrow is just a sergeant major
it's funny
it does work on the secondary but it's not great
π€
Iβd ask if my psyker can get ironhelm but
Why would I ever need it compared to the force swords
i feel like dumping mobility defeats the purpose of the deimos
Tell me im wrong so i can roll this
Ehh
i'de tap that
I mean warp res is the dump since special is irrelevant on the DFS
But mobility ainβt the worst I guess
and its better to have low to increase your peril quick
Why do you taunt me oh hadron
keep going
bruh moment
are there melk lines during missions that are cut?
that'll do
Ewww unstable power
Might as well use precog
I forget tho
How useful is slaughterer on the deimos anyways
Hey hey, howβs the new horde clear force sword?
wide hitbox + slaughterer
One of the zealots think itβs S tier
Is it okay to use it with the flame staffβ¦ howβs itβs damage against Muties, bulwarks, and Crushers
Just below vet power-sword apparently
the staying power it can give you on top of doing solid damage
I personally hate the vet power sword to the point where I just run the antax and perform better
It might be redundant with the flame staff since they both hired clear
But Iβm liking the new FS
it technically is but it doesn't really matter
illisi's special only has extra damage against unyielding unlike the deimos and obscurus special which deals 200% against flak
The cleave one is good enough that it can be used with anything
Hored
at worst you can use the illis has a quiteude toughness battery
I still think it's fine for single target since it'll stagger elites if you repeatedly light-special them
200% to flak sounds useless except for assassination
maulers and scab ragers
Is it better with electro staff?
Illis deletes them already lol
you knock two melee elites out with 200% flak
I don't disagree with that, but 200% flak is meaningful
at least with a pre-patch bloodthirsty OFS
I am just enjoying melee only psyker way too much
Me too
feelsbadman
What are you doing here Lazorr
Iβm a zeolot main looking to play psyker for more melee too
I thought you hadn't given up on the hammer yet.
Psyker: I'm kind of a zealot myself.
Wildfire psyker is growing on me
Psyker is wayyyyyy less tanky then zeolot tho right?
If you get hit then yes
we have a fast stamina regen delay
illisi JOI gives you insane amounts of toughness regen passively
as long as you're not balls deep inside a horde, you should be safe with the occasional push
zealot5 feat levels of toughness
even then, you can be safe inside a horde
also infinite dodges
you don't have as much HP, or the passive, but yeah - infinite dodges, and massive toughness regen to tank ranged or a hit every 2-3 seconds
It really is a βjust donβt get hitβ moment on psyker
and receive a whole lot of toughness passively
But technically yes psyker is the weakest of the 4
you can also trade with shooters all day
@ember hornet whatβs your sword?
damn nice
I got that after like 3 upgrades
If only he had +maniac instead of +groaner rip
Is Warp Resist dump stat a benefit on an Illis?
yeah
You lucky bastard, you always get the right T4 blessings so fast.
Warp res is the dump stat on nowadays to hit high peril to benefit from warp unleashed
it took me 3 months to get the hammer blessings lol
Tbh tho even at hi warp res idrc
but now it seems fairly easy
Just means I gotta stroke my sword a few more times
Didn't you get it from milk?
I can stroke my sword for days before I pop with 77% warp resist roll
stroking your sword is exactly what slaanesh wants
The only annoying part is the high peril sound effect.

Thereβs a mod for it to completely remove it
Ngl I use it as an indicator tho
When I play the game muted
it's an in-game setting now
Literally malice player
Gets mauler overheaded into flamer into blowing myself up with staff
Thanks, I'm going to check that out. It has become quite disturbing after the new patch.
but in game setting
Aside from the pins, anyone have a good just starting resource for psyker?
built into game
I forget if that gets rid of sound
it does
Or just makes the VFX less obnoxious
:0
I would not have guessed that was there
Cuz Iβm a TRUE PSYKER
The weakest if you get hit, the best as not getting hit though. With skill I'd say it's the most tanky by a good margin.
The voices actually have some pretty interesting things to say
Ehhh vets are stupid tanky ngl
75% DR
With practically infinite toughness as long as they keep killing elites
It should be turned off by default.
fantastic. yet another glorious day of melk offering only axes and autoguns
what site/mod is that?
ah
I'm a dirty autopistol psyker now
The Purge staff is like now not bad. I see more flame staffs now.
is ok, i am as well
so i could put slaughterer 4 onto it
Does superiority only exist as a t3 blessing? that must be what bloodthirsty replaces in t4
Purga is BiS no? Shredder is strong but not as strong.
ehh depends
on what you want to do
i dont think Purgatis is BiS though, just different
i actually think trauma might be king shit for aoe Dps
being able to drop a damnation mutie in 3 seconds is pretty nice
tbh all the staves are meta imo
shredder autopistol is awesome for specialist erasure
Psyker has 5 meta builds, one off of each staff + autopistol psyker
I like ius as it has good close and long range. Very holistic.
But which is the best meta build?
and then they got the off meta builds, like builds using quicken, or builds using wildfire + blazing spirit
my current shredder
depends on team comp, map, condition, etc. etc.
for example if you have a flamer zealot, bringing a purge prob aint it, as is voidstrike
you would be better off running trauma, autopistol, or surge
dmg maniacs on shredder is crazy good
shock trooper gauntlet ups surge staff value by a good amount
What is the best build for Purgatus?
Is this a good build?
Level 5 run either 1 or 3
then 1/1/1/1/2
you can choose to swap communion for aura
but yeah
flame zealot only better to f to delete orgyn and bosses imo, I'm easily out dpsing them now with purga and wildfire.
I mean only for the dogs, but they aren't even that big a deal
Not Wildfire? I thought that spreads fire everywhere?
its mid
Armoury delivers, but the perks/blessings, worth 18k?
wildfire is great if you have slaughterer 4, otherwise better with warp battery i think
i forget the details but wilfire is only rly standout if you have a way to consistently apply low amounts of dots
ducats are easy
buy anything in the shop that looks remotely okay, but expect nothing
plasteel is your limiting factor by a thousand times over
but on something like the purge where you are constantly applying high dot count
the 6 stack from warp battery is better
4 stack ab with fs out, burns every chaff all the way back to spawn.
the problem with wildfire is that it can only apply up to 4 stacks or wte of dots and it can't go over. Which with the purge staff's high dot count its kinda useless
yeah, but if you're on purgatus duty, you don't need that IMO
one full channel with purga, switch to fs and same thing.
wildfire is much stronger when you are using it to give you purgatus-levels of dot spread while you do something else
6 stack is just more consistent and with recent changes to warp unleashed 6 stacks lets you kill everything squishier than a rager
such as trauma
trauma into illisi melee cleanup with dots ticking
I've been loving it as a wildfire-capable build more and more
6 stack + warp unleashed iirc will burn ragers, flamers, etc. etc. down
I don't even have an unstable power+slaughterer illisi, just slaughterer
yeah, so will 4 stacks if you got the right fs though
its way more consistent
and yeah wildfire just aint it on purge imo
tried it out
barely noticed a difference except for the fact that my burns were weaker
Woah old man finally came in sorta clutch 
do you have your fs out most of the time?
when you use wildfire on purgatus you literally don't notice shit and not having 6 warp charges for higher passive damage is noticeable
the opportunity cost is high and the added utility is low
yep
I run FS always nowadays
kinda a feelsbad almost since I don't use the antax anymore

I dunno, I feel like I'm burning way more things to death with wildfire now. Beating meta vets and flamer zealots on dmg meters I wouldn't have before.
also the 4 stack + slaughterer takes time to proc cuz you know... gotta wait for the dot to finish
damage meter is just padding
whereas 6 stack doesn't
if you get 50 damage on a poxwalker it won't meaningfully affect your zealot's TTK as he clears
since he'll still headshot it with an antax for a OHK
its just kinda eh my use case for AB is either for when I wanna fall back during an objective so I press F and let em burn, or for taking out mixed hordes/shooters
but you just stole 50 damage for scoreboard padding from him
idrc about the fire spreading to another poxwalker
Whatβs the build for the new sword?
seriously, wildfire pads your scoreboard a ton but if you're already on purgatus, every poxwalker in your range should be burning to death lickety split anyway
slaughterer + unstable power
perks can be whatever tbh because at that point your damage is in the stratosphere
I unironically take unarmored+infested (lol) for wildfire shenanigans and I don't notice any loss of power against flak opponents anyway
Okie, and flame staff is okay with it?
wildfire kills things far past the max range of purga though, it spreads through high density back to spawn
and again that's completley excessive because you are purgatus
you don't care if the mobs are at 100% or 1% hp when they get in your range because you'll instantly stunlock+kill them anyway
purga has short range, extending range is big imo
Howβs the movement with the sword? Are you super slow?
wildfire does not cover any weaknesses of purgatus
which one you asking about
DFS or IFS
all the force swords have infinite dodges I thought
What are those acronyms
the illisi or deimos Force Sword
Oh sry
I dunno why people wanna abbreviate, I just say the name
Illisi
i have one health curio that only rolls a t4 every 600 rolls or so
same base ps as my other curios
just unlucky
Idrc rn cuz I'm on pc
but when im on my phone
i'd rather spell DFS, OFS, IFS over deimos, illisi, obscuruc
so yeah
Thatβs fair, I just didnβt know
most of them are 0% though, reducing significant pressure on team.
Deimos has infinite dodges and like dueling sword dodge distance
the other two also have infinite dodges but noticeably worse dodge distance iirc
Oooohhhh
vets with power swords are already oneshotting
zealots with heavyswords or antaxes are already slaying out
other psykers with illisi are already slaying out
ogyrns don't give a shit
Deimos is prolly better with the flame staff right?
here's the thing
deimos has dodge speed too
as purgatus
you should be on purgatus during horde
and if you're on purgatus during horde
you can't get the massive powerspike from the illisi swap
Gotcha
that makes wildfire dots go from "the enemy is softened up" to "the enemy is FUCKING DEAD"
(while you use the illisi against things that aren't poxwalkers)
This is very big brain.
yeah most people pair deimos with purge or trauma or wte
As trauma I can weave in stunlocking maulers+crushers+bulwarks
Is ilisi any good agaisnt non horde enemies
with hardknockdowns
illisi works with anything cuz its basically a psword
and obscurus is the deimos but with hordeclear
being on fs doubles burn dmg, and lets you focus on killing anything tough enough to get through. Imo you shouldn't need to be on purgatus during horde because it is dead with wildfire and fs unstable slaughterer.
I still use the obscuruc on everything I would use the deimos on
i just don't value the single target dmg that much
then, go in, charge up @ 100% peril, and focus on elites while the wildfire dots boosted by my illisi instantly kill poxwalkers all around
and if I rly need to the obscurus special does single target fine
not sure how good wildfire is on trauma and voidstrike builds
ik its actually decent on like
nexus + blazing spirit
but
it's great on trauma
I tried it on voidstrike and it's not graet because as voidstrike you're often attacking at range against scattered rifles and the value from blazing spirit crits there is extremely low
also the blast radius is much smaller compared to trauma
Pray to the toaster harder
the problem is that the meta for both those staves are warp flurry + transfer peril (voidstrike) or warp flurry + rending shockwave (trauma)
as trauma you can stunlock crushers and accidentally set every single poxwalker on fire with its massive "scratch damage" range
Yeah, you lose rending shockwave which is noticeable
But by weaving trauma and your illisi for the boost on your dots
you literally just kill poxwalkers that would get in your way, in like 5 ticks
u can just use ab and then start killing things
I mean the thing is if you relaly want to utilize blazing spirit
prob wanna slab nexus on it
I guess so
but in my experience if your only source of soulblaze is AB wildfire also kinda sucks
cuz it fizzles out rly quickly and the downtime is huge
yeah, i have a trauma with crit chance on perks, nexus and blazing spirit for blessings
Not having rending is an oof but faster kills on crushers whom you are already stunlocking is whatever compared to burning poxwalkers while you do so
it's all about not hyperspecializing past the point of usefulness
so its only rly stand out when you can constantly apply the dot, but then its also gets kinda meh if you are applying too many stacks of the dot
so again, blazing spirit + warp nexus builds
Which, again, is my gripe with purgatus + wildfire
I don't think wildfire adds anything meaningful that purgatus staff is not already capable of
downtime is every 30s
it lasts for quite long as long as theres a horde to burn
and it can't be more stacks
than wte it was spread from
so the actual effect is kinda mid
4 stacks is enough with the right fs though, still kills most things when its damage is more than doubled
yeah you don't need to spread stacks, you need those 4 spread stacks to hit like bricks
with purgatus you could just keep flaming and kill things anyway
I mean i guess, but the time it takes to spread those stacks and then burn em you could just
walk up and purg em
all the way back to spawn?
and it's better than doing the illisi swap anyway
you have a freakin' purgatus staff, why do you NEED to illisi swap
and against shooters its even worse cuz it takes time to spread to shooters and they have more hp than poxwalkers so it takes even longer to burn em
where as AB is just
just flame whatever the fuck is in range
elites, horde, it doesn't matter
