Heresy players are much worse than damnation.
I occassionally go down to heresy for weeklies, and it's pretty bad
IN GENERAL
big *
theres always people who arent great
Yeah, on average
Heresy games are rough though compared to damn. Way less yolo solo on damn than QP heresy
It does alright. If your staff is good should be better than vanilla bb
good to know
every time pogryn or beast of nurgle spawn idk if i should burn it or BB it
not enough hands
Blaze ticks for awhile
I use kinetic barrage, so I usually alternate between the two. Switch to staff after using up ult
You can just LMB a few times to keep it up, too
thanks emperor, shame about the cloud radius tho
If you want to go mad anyway
I mean w/e, that's a beast still. You lose a meter or two
flurry 4 is very fun
i dont purge staff (until now i guess) reroll maniac damage?
almost too fast
pox/groan is irrelevant so lose that
🧑🏻🏭
You won't get much out of maniac, it's true, but it'll still be helping.
dicksword
Sorry, sibling
look at the fuckin stats tho, i weep
everything above 70
and i lottery ticket it to two T2 blessings
that warp resist th o
i highly reccomend low warp resist
for use with warp unleashed
i use inner tranquility
I know it hurts, but unless your first perk was perfect, I would have bailed at that first blessing
instead of damage
what staff
purge
madlad
Try Unleased with Purg sometime, it's pretty viable
i would only consider inner tranq on trauma
On Purge
hmmmm
madlad

quicken
with purge you get 6 warp charges instantly, so if i get to 100% charge, i can just ult and with quicken i got the ult up in like next 5 seconds
if you're open to it @twilit veldt , try this
constant flames
plus with tranquil i can keep flames up for a long ass time without getting to 100
Quelling is so fast atm
Mind in motion is kind of obsolete since quell was buffed
yeah it's pretty hard to give up quietude now
when uing a purga into a horde, battle meditation kicks in so often that its hard to get peril to 100%
What difficulty do you play? Purg staff does get better at higher difficulties with more enemies.
i play high int damn, and what i just posted is what i use
pubs are making my fucking head hurt
Yeah, I would recommend those other builds, then.
i think running your current build into damn would be shooting yourself in the foot
You really shouldn't have to flame more than 2 charges in most situations before you can safely quell and the DoT will kill everything
a bit, yes
ill give it a try, thankfully multiple loadouts exist
nw homie
Hi int shocktrooper. DO IT
wildfire is just too fun
It's fun but I don't find it useful, compared to 6 stacks
i prefer warp battery with purga
I'm just sad WIldfire is worse on Purg than not running purg
btw why did you take kinetic deflection
Because Mind in Motion is useless
It's one of the best psyker feats
to kill daemon's
warp battery + AB lets you actually compete with flamer zealots, dmg-wise, over the course of the game
help peopel w the achievement
With a staff you aren't even really slowed down
kinetic deflection is really, really good. that is the 'clutch feat'. you can easily res ppl in the middle of hordes
yea thats fair but how does it compare to kinetic shield, the ranged fire
it means i dont have to run deflector too
For some reason the quell speed with or without MiM is almost the same on staves.
You'll mostly have around 25-30% DR
Kinetic Deflection is significantly better than both
Which isn't massive.
mind in motion on staves is like, maybe 10% faster walking
hey anyone knows what the surge talent does on trauma?
only works on left click
MIM is a quality of life perk. it's neat, but it doesnt make a meaningful difference, unlike kinetic deflection
it doesnt do anything on right click
Shoot lmb 2 times on crit
😔
in damnation, you dont want QOL Perks. you want perks that will make a decisive difference
i guess it could be funny for a lmb build, but i doubt that would work lmao
Kinetic shield isn't bad either
some people just don't block enough to justify kd
i dont block that much, but sitll run KD
for reses
i have saved many-a-game with KD
i do it for safe peril generation
KD makes you invincible tbh
yeah KD very good
that + infinite dodges on force sword
You can do animation cancel and weaponize lmb for long range, rmb medium short. Surge, nexus. I have friends that have a build like that, it holds it own
unkillable
ok, btw would this work? im just making loadouts rn to check shit out
for purga?
take the top perk in slot 2
it makes u hit every breakpoint you could ever want
oh lmao. ok might try then 
Better to run Barrage if you want to run Wrack and Ruin
wrack and ruin is very meh. especially if you have vets on the team, which can make the perk even more meh
because they kill elites before you can get it off
Wrack needs 1 or 2 more stacks added, at least, to matter..
Take 111122 for high intensity. 111112 for regular gameplay
that 10-25% damage buff is so nice
Wrack works better on gun builds
you really cant say no to it
no warp charges*
too good
You can ramp wrack and ruin fire with shredder blessings, and you can get 12-18 SB going with KB
with the new high damage FS you can literally heavy attack a mutant and 1shot it
no charge
just normal attack
fair enough, the main thing is that i previously ran psychic communion due to inner tranquility, but since now all the charges do is just increase damage, i thought i could switch to lacerations for shit like crushers, bulwarks and shit that doesnt die in single cast of BB
Well heavy 2 can do that. You need to light 1 or push to chain into heavy 2 for the oneshot
laceration is okay but if you take top perk in slot 2 you will hit the most important breakpoints anyways
yeah light 1 heavy 2 kills
cerebral lacerations only truly good against bosses most of the time
i have a 80% damage 80% first target roll with 25% maniacs and heavy 2 kills
fair
whats in your opinion better in slot 5 btw, i run Warp Battery pretty much always, but i like the look of wildfire if im using 2 in slot 6
warp battery is way better
wildfire is funny
its just a fun perk to run
warp battery better in every situation though
6 stacks ascendant blaze
wildfire does almost no damage any time ive tested it in the room
yeah. this 1 shots hordes
with ab
Also, FWIW... Unleashed + 6 stacks = 2 BB Crushers
Cerebral laceration is best on gun builds. Melts through everything like ogryns, ragers, bosses.
yeah, i'd run it on a gunker
run n gun purg + wildfire spamming your ult is fun though
juts sprinting into a shooter horde stunning them all
then fs the backline
tbh
quicken or AB, purge staff
AB
aighty
i'd pick quietitude too, if i were you
my purga build
Harvest or Quiet
Harvest is still strong on purg, if it's your fancy

Any advice on how to do going out with a bang? Just jump into the fray and poof?
Are you guys crushing more now?
Crash*
I think almost every game while it was every 4 games last month
i got disconnected 4 times on one particular night across different games, and I crash when the game goes on for too long, but it's been fine for me for the most part
I've only crashed because of mods
But I run the game at min settings
Literally everything turned down
Thanks Emperor

Literally my two favorite blessings
And not even 76% burn
I had to restart pc after every crash last update rn I can just rejoin that’s good Atleast

Run and Gun is good and I’m tired of everyone pretending it isn’t!!
So maybe we getting more crash fixes in 2-3 days or it’s too early
? You can’t soot on secondary and run though
Zip zap poof poof that LMB
Run 'n' Gun is certainly a blessing
The thing with Run 'n' Gun is
You can't even slide with it

EXACTLY
If you try to slide you'll get a slowdown when you stand up and resume sprinting
Which is so nice
I love it
You also can't do the quell reset thing to rapid fire and sprint
So what's the point
Cara for unarmored? Maniac?
Good question
oh they made brutal momentum refresh if you get a weakspot kill while it's up
I feel like heavy into infested is already 1 shot.
Yeah I guess ive been seeing WS 1 shot, but i didnt pay attention to body shots
Does trauma staff have limit on amount of targets?
No
With special active on Illisi and fully stacked Slaughterer + Unstable
You do enough damage to one-shot bodyshot infested
With WU and 6 stacks
how active on illisi affects it?
the special bumps the cleave on your lights and heavies to 10.5
Ah yeah you don't do enough to one-shot bodyshot
Not to all enemies in the cleave
Would Unstoppable power be better than level 3 crit ? My sword has all damage stats max and low warp read so I geuss it would go power up real fast
Which is the important stat
You'll one-shot 7 enemies with max stacked on those blessings.
Then the rest takes about 200 damage
Which means you two-shot them
So

You can get a 1-shot on all cleave hits for weakspots/crits
With maxed everything
Oh and if you have an Ogryn on your team it should bump you up to 1shot

Slaughterer T4 just barely doesn't break the cap to 1-shot body shot
So you'd need Unstable T4 as well
And this assumes 80 in damage too
I have Level 3 crit and slaughter 2 blessings what should I change
you guvker
who did you murder to get this force sword
Yepp
I can change one
But idk
Shred T3 I think is not bad actually
Yeah slaughter really made it pump up
Shred is ok
With the angle of the cleaves
Like I slay 3 always
You're goingt o miss WS
Onl. Diff 3 I slay 4-5 at once haha
holy shit the emp blessed this sword
H1 is a clean horizontal
Which is what you want to spam
Oh yeah we're talking about Damnation usually
Malice is easy mode
Illisi is just hilarious.
Yepp
Getting to two-shot 21 poxwalkers

Its a bit overkill tbf since the reach isn't super long
though it has a true horizontal as its 1st heavy
But reliably one-shotting 7 poxwalkers is also dumb
Illisi a is warcrafted for the best
which means that your attack is going to sweep from the right to the entire left of your screen
very cool
Also if you're one-shotting 21 poxwalkers
It's statistically crazy to not get Battle Meditation
Meaning you should 99% be able to just
Keep mowing
Only the crit stops when you spam special h
It’s not super sync with slaughter
But makes many hits be crit and fun when heavy is not needed
It's kind of like
Slaughterer T2 + Unstable
Is also about the same value
And its easier to keep Unstable stacks up for single targets
But then you also have to be at 80% peril+
So you get the same value but on one of them you can get Shred
On normal hits
Unstable T4 is 20% at max stacks right?
Yes
And I think Slaughterer is 7.5-15 from T1 to T4?
My first special jumps up to 23 peril I always do about 2-3 specials and it’s done
the probability of battle meditation triggering at least one time with 20 kills is 60%
just from using a binomial cdf calculator
Eh basically the same thing
that's true; they are basically the same thing under certain conditions
Hmm.
I am a Statistician and dead ass can’t be bothered to apply stats to games lol
"damn we suck" - shieldgryn
smh
Online probablity says 87.84% chance of it occuring
But I don't know anything about math

i might be wrong since my intuition says that battle meditation should have a higher prob of occurring than 60%
Does exorcist work on deimos warp charged attacks? Or does your "chained attacks" end when you do the warp charge?
N-[chance]^occurucences
You have to do repeated hits
And special ends combo
So it doesn't proc on the first swing after special
Anything that is not an immediate attack after attack is not chained
oh oops I think I was using P(X > 1) instead of P(X >= 1)
So, you could do warp charge > heavy attack, light attack, and the light attack would be considered a chained attack?
Should be, yes.
It's enough to let you repeat the combo but its also not much faster than passive quell.
what are knives good for
Do we know if exorcist is per weak point hit, or per strike that hits a weak point?
as long as you don't wait too long such that your combo resets, block, or miss your attack, then your attacks will be considered chained
last time I tested before the patch, it was per strike
1 - P(No Occurrences)?
If you kill 21 targets the probability calculator says the chance is 89%
Damn, I was thinking about wanting an exorcist + bloodthirsty illi
Yeah, I know it's only for 1 hit
But warp charge > heavy attack > light attack, repeat

force sword has a 2.3x multiplier on crits
das true
Wait... is it one of the only good crit weapons?
my memories of the prepatch OFS with prepatch bloodthirsty
force sword normals are one of the better crit weapons, though the weakspot and crit multipliers are apparently lowered for their special attacks
You can get a reliable one-shot damage going with Bloodthirsty
So, doing this might actually be good with a bloodthirsty + exorcist illi FS?
But you need to repeatedly special anyway so
slaughterer is far better than bloodthirsty
Why not take the +75% power
Yeah, exorcist to quell peril on the might attack
And +20 power
Which also adds to weakspot damage
I mean, duh, but that's assuming I can have slaughterer
Which is also a 2.3x multiplier
skill issue clearly
i need unstable power iv bad
have better luck
I only have t1 slaughterer
I mean I assume you farm to get what you want
But if you can't get it then sure, Bloodthirsty isn't useless
Just kinda awkward
Y'all play this game too much
My sword is stuck with Blood Thirsty IV and it’s kinda useful on some elites
my 800 hours is not enough
I've only played like 500
does that mean Unstable Power gives a maximum of 5% power?
Yeah, but I'm doing charge > heavy > light anyway, and that's seem to synergize with exorcist and bloodthirsty. Powerful warp attack, then guaranteed crit that also quells some peril
Because I took a break while they had nothing fun
Stacks up to 4 times 5%
classic example of a Fatshark description
mine. im actually happy about having exorcist
just need unstable pwoer iv and this buid ls p much perfect
you get a stack at 20%/40%/60%/80% peril
yeah i fuck with it, no sarcasm
yeah, if only
It'd be pretty nasty
Don’t those two blessing hurt each other?
Omfg... for real? Fuck FS and their lying tool tips. That doesn't have the stacking text that others do, so it sounds like it only gives 5% power
Why not slaughtere tho
not on illisi, imo
because of this
A lot of things also don't even mention they stack but they do.
Eh exorcist I find kinda mid imo
FFS
because you can charge infinitely
exorcist doesn't quell enough to get you down to 0% peril
You drain so quickly that
but it's good enough to put you below 100%
and i use it to generate toughness even faster

Oh specifically to special spam
from quietitude
But that's 20% power and a hassle vs 75% power for free
Basically idk
Yeah running Slaughterer is always just the best choice
Exorcist + unstable is like… you could just run slaughterer
How I forgot the quell is toughness
even with deimos?
that's great for hordeclear. but im using purga for that. i roll with unstable pwoer for 'first strike' dmg on elites/stragglers
There’s too much going on with Psykers for my Zealot brain to keep up with
Fair enough
So, if I heavy > light attack with illi, it should proc exorcist's -peril once, if I hit at least 1 weakpont, right?
afaik yeah
The new swords are so much fun i cant believe im this easily pleased
For Illisi tho I don't think the math is in you favour really
Yeah, well definitely want to try an exorcist bloodthirsty illi now... if only I had the blessings
Yeah all of a sudden i dont feel like im a troll pulling out my sword during a horde
ik deimos is better for single target. but i use illisi for stragglers/peril generation for damage AND quietitude toughness regen
its working very well for me
i ahve become alot more tankier
Can't you jerk off Deimos too?
plus it lets me keep DPS up when peril reaches 100%. i swap to the sword, exorcise some bitches then continue purging
no
or i would consider using it over illisi
they should just add it to the other swords
it's just annoying for no reason otherwise
The swipe is just safer than the stab (for me)
when toughness is low, rather than directly quelling i can whip out the sword and start swinging on bitches to get a shitload of toughness back, from exorcist + toughness on kill + battle meditation
My theory is that Fat Shark decided they were done with bullying the Psykers and have set their sights on bullying Zealots next. Next patch will have Flamer nerfs. 😔
We've started crying to Catfish
So hopefully they'll realize that Zealot is being gimped
And buff it
I mean some people want it nerfed already

Flamer deserves a nerf
So does Psword
Illisi
Heavy Sword
Bull Butcher
And a lot of weapons need buffs.
If they nerf all of em at the same time then wte
used flamer
Good Flamer usage easily carries runs
I’ve already started diversifying my assets for the impending Flamer nerf
What’s with the barf frames these days
Everyone’s runnin em
Bad Flamer usage makes runs easier but theyh use so much ammo
How long until they add most of the QoL mods to the base game?
Probably by December
I just stopped playing my zealot
Aah my patience
I’m pretty sure game devs browse the most popular mods pages to decide what features to implement
Too lazy meh
Im crying over a leaf in my soup
I mean the modders use the same code as they do
So it should be very easy to do so
Which is a good thing tbf
I think thats a fair assumption
man still no deflector, wanna make my tank build smh
eyy, first damnation mission done
a fatshark dev is also in the modding server
hi int in particular is a different set of players as well quite often
They've actually said it on the modding discord too
Low Intensity becomes harder due to the players that pick it
Damnation players are in my experience way more chill than your usual malice runner
first two attempts via quickplay ended very quickly because it joined me into games where everyone was dead, but the first one from lobby went very well
Atleast i get flamed way less for not doing my best in those runs
people talk a lot more in malice than damnation
*type
typealk
Is shred better than slaugtherer for deimos?
Running Malice this weekend to level my Psyker a bit was the most toxic Dark Tide experience I’ve had in a long time
t(ype)alk
I even had people offering to help with the damn monstrosity penance once
i dont have the barf frame yet
No one in damnation wants to talk shit because we all fuck up
I'm not about to trash talk someone and then immediately get jumped by a dog and die
Switched to Hersey and the players were instantly more chill and competent
malice i tend to be able to carry, but the bigger issue is heresy, you either get a good team that stays together, or one that will make you mald
Coming from damnation I find Heresy games can be a bit of a gong show. Lots of babysitting.
Damnation is definitely the same relation as switching from Malice to Hersey
i've halted on playing my second psyker, cuz malice is so bad
he's at level 9
whereas on my main gal, Mai, i only play damnation
malice feels harder than damn
lmfao
cuz the players are so bad
play on sedition 
My impression is that malice is damnation for a part of the playerbase
wait, you have 2 psykers?
malice feels super easy since enemies die quickly
force sword lights can one-shot dreg shooters and poxwalkers
yeah
just fuckin run into shooters and you don't even lose all of your toughness
why?
but items aren't transferrable between characters
ohhhh
Man I played damnation the other day
who knew that alts would be a thing in Darktide... 😄
I’m washed up
They are???
blessed be melk, the bringer of guns (weekly)
I thought they added that, but I wasn't sure
The issue is that Malice is harder because of bad teammates so Malice players consistently fail missions and never try anything harder because of it
What is the argument for Deimos > Obscurus ?
My fault for only playing malice but still
Dang the more you know
Poke do big damage
wow
Average guardsman player
Do you grind weapons on all 5 Vets..?
at the very least, leveling psyker is pretty neat, BB will carry against annoying shit and hes pretty neat to play. Lvling Ogryn made me uninstall the game, and then when i reinstall i really had to push myself to get him to 30
ogryn makes me dead inside
nah levelling psyker is the worst
The alts is so you can get more roles for melks daily shitpicks
You did the Psyker penances on two characters you’re even crazier than 5 vets guy
Ogryn is pbad leveling experience tbh
no
penances are account wide
P sure it’s class bound
Oh
Yeah
Thank goodness lol
Ogryn was a minor hassle to level but is cartoon strong at 30.
I mean now that i know that blessings are shared i'd let that reason pass 
yes but getting to 30 was horrible
Ogryn gameplay is 100% better if you role play in chat
you can trash talk your team if you do it in character
*lil un
I love that most ogryn players apparently have this unspoken agreement
and you can bitch at them to stay together as long as you call them small and weak
If I did that on my Zealot I’m an asshole, but if I do it in character as an Ogryn I’m a wholesome protector
when im playing ogryn, and osmeone talks too much i just say
"no more word. many word make gromm MAD"
I like refusing to take Grims or destroying them as an Ogryn by arguing that I can’t read
I like the in-game interactions with ogryns tho
Then it’s something along the lines of
“Hey what are you guys doing? Out of curiosity?”
i just call my teammates fuckers if they blow up poxbursters near me
reposting this. i i hate the projection
shieldgryn saying that 'we' suck
a shieldgryn'
the biggest issue for me with ogryn is that (previously, now im really liking the new slower higher damage twin link) i pretty much only used ripper mk2 and shield because all his other options (apart from vanilla twinlink and kickback) felt dogshit to use
and his melee was giving me terminal cringe apart from shield
with psyker i atleast got really good melee and ranged
ogryn weapons were very lackluster for me (moveset wise)
cleaver ogryn has always been good
plus i used to use kickback as my main melee just because the alt fire counts as heavy
i just hate how slow ogryn feels. the reload speed. the move speed. ik his speed is the same as the others, but his height makes him feel alot slower
whereas my psyker is smaller, but becasue the camera is lower to the ground, she FEELS faster
but ofc obvi ik she's not
My response is typically “bruh”, “really” or “stop shooting ffs holy shit how tf are you this bad”
See
Very proportionate
it's a coin flip between insulting them or angrily telling them that shooting bursters will give them stagger resistance
I mean some players don’t even know you can shove em
I legit was playing on I think heresy? And a guy was like “how did you not take damage from that burster?”
And I’m like “… you can shove them away at last second if you time it properly”
Dodging a burster? That like never works
It’s better shove em I have like a 90% success rate I’d say
well not when they are running at you
but when they are running at a friendly teammate
outrunning doesn't work but dodging from them works even with the obscurus
Oh yeah
i charge up my illisi with unstable power, then push the burster
I don’t dodge I just walk away and pretend it ain’t my business
because the increased power boosts the push
what should i do with this damn sword
keep it for a wildfire build i suppose
eat it
get the spirit for your collection and hope for a better one
unless that's your only good illisi
noooo
bloodthirsty doesnt work anymore
with a wildfire build the clear speed is not too bad
comparable to slaughterer but you do suffer at single-target damage
if you wanna keep it (its quite good) replace spirit with slaugtherer
alright
damn editing in repeating characters in an already posted message still causes it to be deleted
"low intensity shock troop gauntlet" ...so, regular game?
one decreases spawns, the other one doubles em
lul
its quite fun. less normal enemies tons of specials
I just want a mode that is literal never ending hordes
^
so the back to ubersreik v2 level
Just regular mission with never ending chaff to cut through
on the illis force sword is slaughterer or uncanny strike better?
slaughterer
I forget did the VT level come out
by a far wide margin
Slaughterer is broken good right now and is basically always the best option
Should I redownload VT
the force sword does not benefit from uncanny strike very much because its normal attacks already deal 100% damage against most armour types
and the Illisi's special only does <100% damage to Carapace iirc
I need to go back and play VT2 I only played it on console near launch and it didn’t click
cool thanks, didnt know about force swords not caring for armor that much
force sword heavies only deal <100% dmg to carapace, and for the lights I think it's only flak, carapace, and maniac that take <100% dmg? you'll have to open up the damage table to check but it's pretty good for what it is
Something like that but the heavy on Illisi deals so much more single target DPS that you should never ever light maniacs or carapace
Uncanny strike is garbage tier on any FS
Uncanny is for when you want to light spam into bruisers.
Iirc the only weapon that rly utilizes uncanny is knife with push attack spam
also good for deimo stabbing crushers
Just.. no. DFS light heavy does the job, IFS heavy light combo works wonders if you don't want to special golf swing
So, if I may ask, when you have a Bloodthirsty/Blazing Spirit Illisi, what are the Ideal Perks? I have 20% Flak Locked, but not sure what I should snag for the second.
currently have 25% Unyielding
i like having at least +maniac on my melees
kk, I was thinking that might be better
if you want to spec really hard for hordeclear with your blazing spirit FS, then +infested is fine
but i hate mutants and dreg ragers
I'd rather not be animation locked facing crushers + other elites.
while doing faster damage.
also with Shock Troop, Maniac hits Flamers and Trappers good too
You don’t rly get animation locked with either sword tbh
Just that you two shot crushers with the DFS anyways so dunno how useful uncanny is
Do I sound like a jerk if I say I like my character having a weakness in their weapon choice, as in not being able to deal with a certain type of enemy
Like not taking a horde clear weapon
hey guys quick question
and if you ever need to clutch with a horde around, it's going to be slow
and you are dead if you ever go into a dead end in Hab Dreyko
But on the other hand, I can say I use Chainaxe and flamer and it doesn’t sound like a jerk move even though you are creating a weakness to shooters
you can always just throw yourself as bait to shooters
and the flamer has the range to touch shooters most of time
It was so quick I think I missed it
But if I say “I like having a character that has a weakness like a weakness to shooters”
Sounds worse
It was an example
most classes have a ranged option
Replace flamer with Purgatus
well there's also BB
Ye
I hate psykers who only BB by default
fuckers should go launch themselves at shooters with melee
But I enjoy having characters that can’t do everything super well as it feels like it takes away from the teamwork aspect
😦
I like to run ahead and kill enemies before my teammates can
When you play PUGs you learn you are the team
I don’t mind if a guy kills my bb target unless they obviously did it on purpose
I do it on purpose always
i do it on purpose if they BB something within my range and I know that there's an enemy outside of my range
Fuck their stacks I’m trying to keep up my counterfire
mfers not learning to abuse the infinite range of BB
No like I mean if I’m bbing the poxwalker in a corner and they have cleared it and the knife zealot charges it while it’s being bb’d and kills it
After clearing the area*
They should make RMB BB charge the same speed as LMB BB. Would solve all the charge competition problems.
it's whatev since I get my warp charge anyways
If someone is doing it on purpose then you go gun psyker and steal all their ammo next game
esp since we generate peril while holding it at full charge
WDYM steal ammo gunker deals damage, it's putting ammo to good use. They are stealing it from gunker.
Like they are on low ammo and you have a vendetta so you shoot a single bullet to be able to take it
Yup. That should be the only 'penalty' for it.
It was an expensive bullet all right
I kind of want a unique primary attack for surge
No, we get copy pasta for moveset but not for Blessings
Or like would it be like a continuous single target lightning electrocution
As long as you hold primary
Wonder if they’ll give surge a slight buff to either dmg against unarmored or the # of stunned
Wouldn’t hurt
Or give it better light generation during lights out
make it always target daemonhosts
daemonhosts are basically light bulbs that you need to turn on :)
Speaking of daemonhosts, my match was auto lost when a DH killed me and the Ogryn, leaving the bots
Do bots not count anymore
It ended right after it killed me but the bots still lived
prob cuz the bots can't complete the map on their own
was the same in l4d2 where the game ended if all players died but not bots
It could still be programmed to wait around until the players respawned at the objective and went to go res them
We were right under the room with the event up some stairs
I had a situation where a bot was last standing and a dude said “clutch or kick”
Dickot did not clutch it 😔
wait what lol does unstable give 4% power at nearly max peril?
Psykerfriends. Is there a psykerfriendo who want to help me with some penances. I dont trust the plebs in lfg
Which ones
its 5% per stack
Not anymore, it stacks a total of 4 times at 20/40/60/80 peril
mid
It's nice on Deimos
we can do just 1. I need either dmg a biggie alone or kill 5 elites in 12 sec.
Makes a good stab if you have been staffing a lot
hard to achieve those when everyone is blastinhg 😄
Oh yeah i haven’t done that one either. I need to grind out some comms plex
Unstable is Useful to push bursters further too
I’ll need to get my Ogryn another level or two for his shield but sure
Will find a dh and do it
its mostly cuz all the new Force swords have deflector built in
Heresy or damnation?
and some poeple just don't like deflector
I kinda wanna try out unstable power exorcist Deimos with a Surge, I wonder if it's feasible to juggle between the two, stab to quell and stun to stab
Gonna need to do heresy, because I have little Ogryn experience
theres no damnation penances so you can kinda just do heresy
That sounds kinda cool
Anyone else want to do join or
I'm not even at my pc
Help multiple people put
I prefer the randoms on damnation :S
I won't be home for another like
Im in striketeam 43 channel for psykermuppetry
Oh I can’t do it right now, but I can plan it
Its ok, dm me later 🙂
Plan a time
they what
Alright
we are assuming its a bug, even one of the wardens thought so
but
yeah rn the two new force swords have deflector built in
lmao
Well people call it a bug but
i imagine it is, since they can get the blessing
apparently the two new force swords are using code based on august
so some people think Force swords were supposed to come with deflector
and they ripped it out and slapped in on a blessing instead
imo I'd think it would be cool to just give obsurus deflector by default and then rework the blessing
I would just appreciate that when they remove the built in Deflector they would also make it so that when you don't have Deflector you could actually see something while blocking.
somebody just released a mod for that, though it's currently causing crashing
eh I can see fine with the force block
i hate blocking with the force sword
never had a problem with the forcefield generated tbh
That is altering the visuals of the in game items so it's technically not legal
you can see but it takes way more focus for any clarity
i think it's legal? stuff that's restricted to clientside seems to be fine
All you can get.
or is that more on the copyright sort of things
🤔
I mean it would kinda ruin the point if you could equip the paid cosmetics without paying via mods
so prob to stop that
I personally don't care but from a monetization perspective
Weapon / Apparel cosmetics are not allowed, I have no idea if the line is at actual models nor if FX is also included
would it be considered a weapon cosmetic or a VFX change tho
cuz its not the weapon you are changing but the VFX you get while blocking
Which is part of the weapon.
But the main question is if FX edits are allowed then it should be fine, but only an official response could resolve that
idk cuz people had mods to remove psyker VFX from peril ya know
There is an official slider for that now
And that's not something you can alter in game with a skin
well yes but what im sayin is that woul Force sword block VFX change be considered
it's posted in the modding discord so we'll presumably quickly see if it's allowed or not
i dont use kinetic deflection and still cant block snipers
it certainly sits on that murky line
Yes
so what are the best perks for illisi force sword?
Hey folks, coming back to the game after a hiatus, gonna be picking up psyker, just wondering what the meta is atm for them?
same as any other melee since its special doesn't deal extra damage to flak unlike the other force swords
+maniac and +flak being my priorities
hm good to know
still leveling my psyker and am wondering what blessings i should keep an eye out for on force staves and swords
ik that the deflecting one is good for the swords but like
thats all i know lmao
Slaughterer, unstable power, deflector,
Slaughterer, Unstable Power, and Bloodthirsty in order of priority (slaughterer being most important)
Warp Flurry on all staffs, Warp Nexus for Surge and Purg, Rending Shockwave on Trauma, Transfer Peril on Voidstrike
oh so it can get slaughterer
deflector and slaughterer is likely what ill get
right now people are using a gun psyker build, with soulblaze and autogun
Purgatus staff afaik. Feats: Ascendant blaze, warp unleashed, quietitude, warp battery, kinetic deflection
but i dont rlly know "meta" cause i dont follow it usually
stave blessings aren't shared so you probably wanna figure out which staff you want to focus on first (all staffs are good so up to personal preference) for fs you want slaughterer 4 first, and then deflector, unstable power, etc. etc. after
Cheers folks 🙂
all staffs are fairly viable
this guy doesn't recommend deflector smh
Just know, right now the two now force swords (illisi and Deimos) have deflector built in. It's probably a bug and will be latched out most likely
there's no strict one meta to rule them all, though I'd say that all staffs except surge are pretty good
wish deflector let you deflect snipers...
except warp flurry on all staffs, and slaughterer on all force swords
surge for stagger, void for horde, purge for dot and trauma for a mix of the first 2(though please make surge more satisfying i dont wish to be a stun bot)
Purga is horde too
apparently new class is gonna have a "smite" ability weirdly
Surge is the worst imo
ik, but it can deal good dot on bosses and shit if you stack it
Ik
does the chained secondary on warp flurry buff still stack if you reduce peril below 97% continously
or does it have to be instantly back to back to back
no no no i think its the grenade that the smite is
nah, you have to be holding RMB continuously and entering any other animation (quelling, suicide anim) will break it
brain burst should be smite iirc
pressing F to vent doesn't tho
the throwing knives are still very much still an option
ah so the best way to make use of it is to chain it from 0 peril
yup
still, with a t4 warp flurry that shit can go stupid crazy
Warp flurry also reduces peril cost
??
Yes
since peril% is generated per second, not per charge
unlike the Charge Rate stat on staffs, the game doesn't proportionally increase the peril% generated per second to account for the charge speed buff provided for Flurry
thats bonkers
is very nice
since that seems like it shouldn't work from a technical standpoint but it'd be good if it got baked in
shouldn't be using known exploits
the more and more i get into and research psyker the more and more glad i am that i chose it as my 2nd class after veteran
this shit go crazy
it really do
do we know if these things are still actual subclass leaks or just leftover code
welcome sibling
cuz the surge staff is basically chain lightning
we don't, I don't think
All we can know is from leftover code.
But it can be assumed that most stuff will be used.
have you seen this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
written by our very own @near wyvern
have not, havent played psyker much, lvl 22
Chain lightning is on surge staff, so it is possible that a new one will be made,.
ill keep that link on hand tho
lmao we actually be reading our chronicles of sacred knowledge n shit
also a damage version of a lightning staff, kinda like the beam staff for sienna would go hard
truly a psyker thing to do to call it an atheneum instead of a comprehensive guide
true
Is the updated Warp Unleashed beneficial to a Surge Psyker if I tend to BB a lot? Or is it better to go with Inner Tranquility for more Lightning CC with 6 stacks?
Eh I run it with my surge psyker
salutations
I would stick with Tranquility. WU will get you a Crusher in 2 shots at 6 stacks.
wrack and ruin is affected by kinetic flayer? Splendid
what are good blessings/perks on voidstrike?
Okay thanks! Wasn't sure if I was supposed to be squeezing as much as I could out of BB if my team was having trouble taking out multiple Crushers and Bulwarks
warp flurry + transfer peril are the general goto blessings for a voidstrike
There is some merit to it, but 36% reduced peril is a lot of CC you can do. Sometimes as psyker in a pub you are the only carapace killer, just pay attention to your team setup. 6 stacks will 2 shot a bulwark, no WU.
surge is good, essentially double dmg
surge only procs on crits and psyker doesent have a high base crit or good ways to increase crit substationally so its not super optimal
FWIW Warp Flurry 4 will let you (just barely) get 7 full charges off instead of 6 (going from 0 to 100 peril, 6 stacks). It's faster and by extension slightly less peril.
If you want to up your CC with surge
Warp flurry + transfer peril is meta, crit strike is off meta (warp nexus + blazing spirit or warp nexus + surge) , after that it’s all meme blessings
If only I could get that Flurry 4 I would be so happy. Have to settle with Nexus 4, Flurry 3
Does toughness regen stack with quietitude?
like how important first target is on a horde clearing force sword?
Toughness regen on curios only applies to passive regen from coherency or wte
Iirc
I'm sure it's a really fine point, but Charge Rate, Warp Resistance and Flurry will all connect to get your more CC. You'll find it eventually.
How rare is deflector? I got it at level 16 albeit tier 1
Also, while Crushers can be your responsibility - your lightning opens up Bulwarks, hopefully your team will catch on and merc them.
should be as rare as any other blessings
Tier whatever works well enough. You need to get to level 20 to have the real fun with it.
Not too rare but t4’s are very rare
I think t4’s are just super rare in general it’s why stuff like bloodthirsty and surge which only appear as a t4 are so rare
One can dream. 😛 I'd also have to hope the new staff is better than this.
Let's be real, that's pretty boss. 99% of peak.
I don't think you're missing that 2% more flurry much (i did not do ze maths)
It’s more so that it buffs damage for rest of the kit
Including BB and your melee
Which makes it worth taking
Oh wait
Are you not talking about warp unleashed
encountered a revolver psyker on high int shock damn. with 2 wound curios lol. vodaak
(we lost)
Try Terrifying Barrage instead of Nexus sometime, and see if you like the bit of extra CC. You'll lose some random crit bombs, but you can punk medium range shooter groups sometimes, or save a zealot that's just out of range of a pack of shooters. It's tricky to use.
revolver and deimos
yea, sounds like a recipe for disaster
