Y'all feeling like glass?

velvet crescent
#

i popped by ogryn chat and now here

how do i help a sibling when i am vet

rare furnace
#

I feel like canon

still hearth
#

I just tank stuff while blowing things up

fierce sinew
#

you have to be trolling pretty hard to die through new quietude

spice veldt
#

unless you are actively sniping targets with a blue glow around their heads, I don't think there's anything much that you have to go out of your way to do

velvet crescent
#

roger

lethal lagoon
#

I'm not saying I'm dying, but that doesn't change how hard you get hit for lmao.

still hearth
#

Play aggro Veteran and tank all the ranged fire

velvet crescent
#

when i see a blue glow on someone i let the psykers cook

still hearth
#

That's the best way to help the team

velvet crescent
#

sir yes sir

still hearth
lethal lagoon
#

Vet with crossfire can carry a t5 completely.

still hearth
#

I tried to play Heresy

#

Never again

#

People are so bad

#

Its easier to play Damnation

cold geode
#

lol

gilded viper
#

I find out this weekend that u can still get a warp stack if u charge bb halfway and the target dies to someone else

still hearth
#

Like a dude was just

olive ember
#

Psykers love bio optic targeting

still hearth
#

Blocking

#

All the time

olive ember
#

Fuck demo team

still hearth
#

Literally only attacked once every 4s

#

Bio Optic is ass

#

Just kill everything

#

Why would you need to mark things if they're going to die

lethal lagoon
#

People farm on Malice and Damnation. Heresy is for people who think they aren't good enough for damnation.

#

It's a scary difficulty to pub on.

still hearth
#

Yeah it was an experience.

#

High Intensity Shock on Heresy

#

It felt like I was playing with 3 bots

#

Absolutely no urgency

lethal lagoon
#

Probably would have been better with 3 bots lmao

olive ember
#

I only play malice pls rate my build

still hearth
#

Half the time they wandered off somewhere

velvet crescent
#

i got the reverse
Heresy pubs for me actually okay

damnation pubs were uh

#

hmmm

#

to put it nicely

one pub had no idea what they were doing

olive ember
velvet crescent
#

me internally: "get the fuck back here shouty we cant help if you go down"

olive ember
#

Pls rate thx

lethal lagoon
#

" I am fairly confident now in hi-intensity Malice (Can clear it probably more than 50% of the time). "

#

D:

still hearth
#

O u f

lethal lagoon
#

Like poor guy lmao. I feel bad roasting him.

#

LMAO, I got trolled hard

#

Nice one

olive ember
#

It’s pre patch I gotta change the damn build

lethal lagoon
#

I should have read what you said before clicking the link

olive ember
#

Lmao

kind jay
#

i got a good feeling about milk today. hes gonna have the bestest recon las for me ever

still hearth
#

The rest of us people will soon find out that Recon will be buffed to OP status

#

And we'll still probably not use it

leaden thunder
#

i'll use it on my vet

still hearth
#

Though Recon is fun for making flashing lights on lights out

spice veldt
#

i'd prob use it if it gets buffed

#

I like no-recoil weapons

lethal lagoon
#

Recon is relaxing to use.

still hearth
#

Recon with Blaze Away and Pinning Fire

olive ember
still hearth
#

Now we're talking

olive ember
#

Also fuck demo team

#

Who actually uses grenade that often

#

Useless perk take bio optics instead

#

Information is king

still hearth
#

I refuse to run bio optics

#

Because it makes other Vets take my kills

fierce sinew
#

heresy is 30% people semi afk just trying to level, 30% completionist neurotics farming penances that shouldn't be in the game, 30% baboons with their monitors off + broken fingers, and 10% actual people

still hearth
#

That I need to keep my ult up

#

And I hate it when another Vet runs bio optics because it makes me think my ult is still active

#

When it isn't

olive ember
#

I mean it’s kinda obvious

#

Cuz when it’s your ult your entire screen gets like this shader effect

#

And when it’s another vets you don’t have said shader

#

Makes aiming a lot easier and the info is just rly good to see bombers and snipers quickly as well as flamers n mutant exact locations

ornate hamlet
#

Should I try and farm a better trauma staff or is this about as good as it gets?

spice veldt
#

it's nice for coming up with an order of priority for dealing with the specials

gilded viper
olive ember
#

Over demo expert which is rng proc based on elites only, and personally I don’t think zealots and ogryns use their grenades enough to warrant bringing em

spice veldt
#

and some areas have really fucked soundscapes so I can't rely on hearing to tell where they are

lethal lagoon
#

So pre-patch best Trauma was 25% unarmored and then 20-25% flak. With warp unleashed and Warp Charge changes, I'm really not sure anymore.

restive slate
#

Environment with steam making you think there's a scripture nearby

olive ember
#

Lmao fucking that repair mission screws with me

ornate hamlet
#

so I should go flak instead of carapace eh?

olive ember
#

The lift is just all steam and the game is just jank enough that I used to think their might be a spawn on that lift

calm sapphire
#

What's everyone's most hated map to play on?

olive ember
#

Assassination

lethal lagoon
#

Unarmored would be my pick, as base trauma seems to hit flak breakpoints now with warp unleashed and 6 stacks of warp.

olive ember
#

The hard one

gilded viper
#

Sand cause the lighting is broken for me

ornate hamlet
#

The sewer one is getting a little old cause I've played it so much

olive ember
#

Also not a particular fan of hab dreyko or the one with like 3 levels

spice veldt
#

refinery delta

#

the finale is so boring

lethal lagoon
#

I don't like that desert one where you have to carry the 3 battiers at the end. The level is so long and pubs have such a hard time with that ending.

gilded viper
calm sapphire
spice veldt
#

I personally like excise vault cuz it has a lot of close-quarter encounters

lethal lagoon
#

Silo intro is hell, but on the plus side if you breeze through the intro you'll definitely win, where as if you struggle you might as well leave lmao.

gilded viper
#

Don't like the train m8ssion for the assassin, alot of people fail st the boss room

olive ember
#

My favorite is prob still consignment yard

lethal lagoon
#

I love all the boss missions personally. But yeah, pubs do not understand how to kill ads on a boss lmao. Or dodge a telegraphed overhead swing.

olive ember
#

Something about being “outside” and seeing the hordes come from a distance

rare furnace
#

The beloved psyker sounds kinda rizzy

olive ember
#

And not spawn out of a like clowns out a car from random hole #342

rare furnace
#

I wish I had him

gilded viper
#

What that latest mission we got, that one my favorite one

lethal lagoon
#

The train defense I think is really well done map design.

lethal folio
#

Ignoring relay station because no plasteel, I hate enclavum baross and hab dreyko because they have no challenge.

calm sapphire
spice veldt
#

consignment yard's finale is a bit too open for my tastes

olive ember
lethal folio
#

Baross bridge has two door spawns for the entire event.

rare furnace
#

RECOON las after a while on that map is very fun with the hordes

lethal lagoon
#

@spice veldt You can hide in the train car closest to the entrance, it makes it really easy even on hi int.

spice veldt
#

yeah; I just don't like feeling pidgeonholed into being in certain areas

#

not that you can't do the map in the open areas

#

but I really fucking hate getting hit by snipers

lethal folio
#

Consignment yard is most fun fighting on the traintop.

rare furnace
#

Did they add options to lower the popping on psyker peril screen? Where are they

spice veldt
#

in Interface

gilded viper
#

Wait

#

Is that in base game

spice veldt
#

yes

calm sapphire
gilded viper
calm sapphire
#

lol

restive slate
spice veldt
#

it affects both the VFX and SFX

restive slate
#

And everyone is Ogryn haha

gilded viper
#

Can finally listen to music without getting blow out by psyker gameplay

restive slate
#

Oh I turned Psyker fx to 0, there's still a lil bit of tentacles at 100% which is fine for me

spice veldt
#

i kept blowing myself up with the fx turned to 0

calm sapphire
spice veldt
#

i saved myself the first time with the ult

#

and then I blow myself up while my ult is on CD

#

very sad story

gilded viper
#

I use my ult super aggressive so I rarely have it to save me

lethal lagoon
#

I feel like if you have F available to save yourself you are playing kind of lazily.

spice veldt
#

I'm just too used to relying on the sound cue to figure out when I should start paying attention to my peril%

shut ether
#

My ult is secondary knockback primary Peril reduction and Barrage setup

#

I'm not afraid to scream at the air

lethal lagoon
#

Saving the dummy who's away from the group and still can't stop dogs after 100s of hours of gameplay is a common use for me.

gilded viper
#

Dog are hard man NotLikeThis

#

So ganky

shut ether
#

Dogs are so host dependent

gilded viper
#

Kinda wish they rework them or something, idk how trapper and mutant can work but not dogs

lethal lagoon
#

There's no host! They are definitely 100% dedicated servers, don't slander them! Believe me.

#

Oh my whole team lagged when I dced? It's just a coincidence.

hollow current
#

ohh second psyker already coming in handy with blessing hunting.

shut ether
#

Gotta check my shop. Melk don't milk me

pearl lion
#

||get melked||

shut ether
#

WOW GREAT LOOK AT ALL THESE GUNS

gilded viper
shut ether
#

FK YOU MELK

lethal lagoon
#

My second psyker hasn't paid off yet. But it's fun being a gun psyker.

pearl lion
gilded viper
#

Petition to give psyker Shotgun NODDERS

hollow current
#

petition to send you back onto the black ships for wanting to use guns on pysker

gilded viper
pearl lion
#

Nah using guns on psyker is fine

hollow current
#

But yeah I don't see why not 🤷‍♂️

pearl lion
#

You mean shooting them right?

ruby plover
#

blaze away autopistol acquired FeelsStrongMan

#

god bless u melk

near gale
#

No, we mean throwing them our allies.

lethal lagoon
#

With Illy and the BB buffs, my staff doesn't feel as impactful anymore. I spend so much time in melee or BB.

#

A lot easier to top the scoreboard too, can't remember the last time I wasn't.

shut ether
#

WYM sibling you can pretty much 24/7 staff with peril quell buffs

lethal lagoon
#

Melee psyker go brr

shut ether
#

This i why we need subclasses fatshark

gilded viper
#

Wish we grt a new stave already bur I'm happen with rhe fs buff/new ones

pearl lion
#

I suspect our first subclass will actually be a new subclass for each class + new area

#

Hopefully they don't charge for it

#

But yeah, I'm guessing they'll roll it all together

gilded viper
#

Are fatshark known for roadmaps?

ruby plover
#

staves Deadge

pearl lion
#

Once they have finished tidying up things

ruby plover
#

100 peril illi autopistol bipascendant

pearl lion
#

They have been doing the comm links or w/e which are kind of mini roadmaps

gilded viper
#

Can't wait for them to go back on the content grindset, feel like the game is in a better place since thier open letter

#

I see

lethal lagoon
#

^ I feel the same way, but at the same time I main psyker so of course I'm happy.

tired notch
#

worth the buy, siblings?

lethal lagoon
#

I save melk's currency for t4 blessings, so no for me. But I also have a really good purg already.

gilded viper
#

I used to main zealot but really is the l they gotten don't hurt me too much

#

Never did like th

pearl lion
#

Oh yeah I had a big circuitous conversation in general the other day about how content will follow fixing the base game, which they have almost done

gilded viper
#

Can't really think what else that need fixing outside of rng, and rng is here to stay and I accept that

pearl lion
#

Even reviews and such are starting to complain about the lack of content updates, so I suspect we'll start seeing new stuff more frequently/as a higher priority

#

I still think they need a quasai-pity system

#

Complete a mission and get a melk-coin per difficulty level, spend 20 coins to get an orange of a particular weapon from melk etc

lethal lagoon
#

Pity system kind of weird for a non-real money system in my opinion.

pearl lion
#

VT kind of has one

#

In that you can break down like 5 reds to make a new red

gilded viper
#

We already get orange per mission but yeah milk coin supply is low af COPIUM

pearl lion
#

I just think they need something to address the fact that adding new weapons dilutes the pool so it makes it harder to get the things you want

lethal lagoon
#

Brunt's armory and more mats already addresses that no?

pearl lion
#

Yeah maybe

#

More mats

gilded viper
#

Ngl all my "good" weapons have been from the bulk shop and not from the god emp or milk

pearl lion
#

I have so many blue VSs with the same group of 3 or so t2 blessings

#

You can get t3+ blessings when consecrating to blue right?

gilded viper
#

Yes

kind jay
gilded viper
#

And t4 but that actually is super rare

kind jay
lethal lagoon
#

It's so wild when you cleave and everything but the target you hit dies.

#

It messes with my brain

#

I had a low first target sword when I was leveling my 2nd psyker

gilded viper
#

The first dude block the hit I guess

kind jay
#

ah shit here we go again

#

is this basically true solo?

pearl lion
#

Just think about how nicely highlighted your BB targets will be

lethal lagoon
#

Just think about how all you have to do is start BBing someone and all 3 people on your team will drop everything to kill them.

#

Unlimited power.

pearl lion
hollow current
#

fuck I'd eat a beast of nurgle's ass for a taste of warp flurry IV on trauma

pearl lion
#

I want surge on my VS so bad

#

I bet its not even that good

lethal lagoon
#

Surge isn't real, don't believe the fake screenshots. 😭

gilded viper
#

Lol

pearl lion
#

Oh, so its like power cycler then

ember hornet
#

Seems good

gilded viper
#

Run n gun NODDERS

shy prairie
lethal lagoon
#

You want t4 warp nexus on Surge. Crit is huge. So that staff is kind of stuck.

#

Honestly the stats are good enough that it might not matter, just depends on what your current one is.

near gale
hollow current
#

500k and this is the best stat distribution I got 💀

shadow onyx
#

its very good stats

lethal lagoon
#

I wonder what that feels like with the quell buffs.

gilded viper
#

Till fast af I'm guessing

hollow current
#

rest in peace

lethal lagoon
#

o7

near gale
hollow current
#

The perks are poo poo but the blessings could be salvaged.

lethal lagoon
#

??

hollow current
#

It went straight into the trash anyways.

lethal lagoon
#

It's actually good that the perks AND blessings are complete trash. Imagine if either of them were BIS.

#

I'd cry.

kind jay
#

new line? maybe?

rare rock
#

for the new single target force sword, maniac + carapace is great right?

lethal lagoon
#

Nah

hollow current
#

Maniac is solid, I don't think you should do carapace tho

lethal lagoon
#

To be clear I was replying to griever.

gilded viper
#

Is carapace ever worth on any weapons?

pearl lion
#

Love the Loner psyker. Old mate pulls no punches and if he wasn't in an inquisitorial retinue, would DEFINITELY be dead by now

lethal lagoon
#

Grenade Ganulet

spice veldt
#

carapace might be worth it on the obscurus

rare rock
#

oh i cant change carapace already did for the maniac, it was unarmored i think and a low roll

hollow current
#

as shitty was it was unarmored probably would be more applicable to stuff you whack. I just always BB carapace or trauma it.

feral verge
#

i run maniac and carapace on deimos sword

rare rock
#

well at least the weapon is good overall

#

got some good luck on this

feral verge
#

i wouldnt put uncanny on it

#

the thing already does 100% dmg to armor types, except carapace

rare rock
#

oh i dont have anything better

feral verge
#

oh aight

#

i am a fan of unstable power

lethal folio
#

Drat, melk has surge but it is on Trauma.

feral verge
#

i have a few deimos', but, ig this is my main deimos

#

if i could, i'd trade elite dmg for carapace

rare rock
#

i'll see if i can get unstable power

feral verge
#

i really like low warp resist

#

if i could, i'd have it as low as possible

#

here's one i have with very low warp resist

#

low warp resist pairs very well with quietitude + unstable power + warp unleashed

rare rock
#

hmm i think i have a good one that had low resist but still white

#

i'll see how it goes, ty

feral verge
#

dusky bear
#

"finally melk has a class item to sell for psyker!"
the item:

feral verge
#

rip

#

skill issue

dusky bear
#

more like dogshit rng progression issue

lethal lagoon
#

It's definitely a skill issue. They collect a secret skill score and base your melks on that.

lethal lagoon
#

I would buy that.

#

Not sure if I would use it though. I love Illy so much.

lethal folio
#

Good for a fireaxe.

dusky bear
#

i hope next update includes a diamantine to plassteel conversion. my entire gameplay loop now is just running what ever mission i can just to roll weapons in hopes that eventually get the 1 blessing i still need

pearl lion
#

Yeah it'd be nice if there was an option to hand your items over to Hadron if you already have all the perks and she gives you some mats back

dapper grotto
#

anyone know the range of the psyker ability

pearl lion
#

I think its like 20m?

cyan notch
#

30

pearl lion
#

But thats mostly a guess

#

there you go

dusky bear
#

i have yet to meet an enemy at a range that i couldnt brainburst

#

only gets stopped by railings and fences

pearl lion
#

#2 cause of BB not working, railing and fences, #1 cause, veterans

umbral jetty
#

which gun besides the shredder would you recommend for gun psyker?

fringe tangle
#

Anyone else think deflector should become a built-in thing for all the Forceswords?

New FS have a bug that gives them deflector, I think it should stay like that, as well as adding it to the OG FS.

umbral jetty
#

I spent 400k dockets today and got sad

dusky bear
#

the super rapidfire lasgun is good for triggering kinetic consistently

umbral jetty
#

On the topic of deflector, I think its a little bugged

#

like, not that it is built into the two new ones... but that it interacts weird if your shields are already broken

umbral jetty
pearl lion
#

Every time I see people complain about RNG, one part of me agrees and the other wonders if they played VT

blazing trout
#

About 500 hours in VT2. The itemization progression was way better imo.

pearl lion
#

I'd say its slightly better

#

VT's

blazing trout
#

If you didn’t need to craft all the dlc reds

#

They should have been in the drop table

pearl lion
#

Its kind of a weird situation where getting the best weapons is worse, but getting a very good weapon is way better

#

Cause rerolling an orange until you get the right perks, but maybe not good rolls was easy

#

But getting a red was just a pure slog

cyan notch
#

no not really

pearl lion
#

Whereas getting a very good weapon is a slog in DT and there's no equivalent to red

blazing trout
#

Yeah, getting to the point where you can do cozy book runs solo was a bit of a chore

#

Because you needed to level and gear your bots

cyan notch
#

thats nothing to do with progression

pearl lion
#

Basically, getting to like 90% strength in VT was easy peasy

dusky bear
pearl lion
#

Getting to 100% was super RNG based if you wanted particular weapons

blazing trout
#

I’d say it is. That’s some of the peak turn-brain-off solo gameplay I’ve had in life is solo cata runs

pearl lion
#

I'm not saying DTs loot system is good btw

cyan notch
#

getting a red isnt even hard

#

you can craft reds from dust

blazing trout
#

You hardly ever needed 100% anyway.

pearl lion
#

Yeah, red dust

half turtle
#

what are good blessings and perks for trauma staff?

cyan notch
#

u dont even have to wait for your weapon to drop

sour olive
#

DT need to make the game LOT less grindy

#

further

blazing trout
#

Most of the breakpoints were less than 7-8% in a power vs target

sour olive
#

fuck the lock system

blazing trout
#

And your items shared across characters

pearl lion
#

I dont have a problem with the lock system

cyan notch
#

you dont have to do any solo this cata that book anything

fringe tangle
pearl lion
#

I think it's crafting in general that needs a bit more balancing to make it good though

#

I think they should give us more crafting resources to take the sting out of the lock system

blazing trout
#

I mean. 40 minutes gets you 3 emperors chests

#

And you’re not gate kept by anything but experience for chaos wastes

cold geode
#

or let us upgrade locked blessings with diamantine

pearl lion
#

ehhh

blazing trout
#

You also have weaves (lol)

cyan notch
#

this chore of is not needed at all thats just a you thing

#

you can just play quickplay

blazing trout
#

Yeah, but to use a weapon in dark tide I need to get lucky. Then get lucky. Then get lucky again

pearl lion
#

Basically the only time I didnt do QP in VT is when I was doing the legendary all missions skins

blazing trout
#

I can’t just be fine with a sub par variant with level 2 blessings of what I want

#

Because I don’t have even the shitty versions

#

I could make a new weapon in VT, roll the stats I wanted, maybe not have them maxed, but who cares

pearl lion
#

I dont have a single meta perked weapon and I still have fun and am pretty effective

gilded linden
blazing trout
#

Yeah, but that’s because the current difficulty is basically Legend

pearl lion
#

Which is fine

#

Legend is a perfectly good difficulty

blazing trout
#

Most people have an issue with breakpoints being locked off by RNG

#

Because it limits variety

pearl lion
#

They were in VT too

#

Just a different kind of RNG

blazing trout
#

You’re not arguing in good faith here

pearl lion
#

Reds are pure RNG

blazing trout
#

The system in darktide is disrespectful

pearl lion
#

You either roll the one you want, or you break down multiple ones you dont want to get the one you want

blazing trout
#

No. Reds are not RNG..

#

And you don’t need a red

pearl lion
#

That is objectively incorrect

#

Again though

#

I'm not saying DTs system is good

shy prairie
lethal lagoon
#

@fringe tangle I'm personally hoping the deflector "bug" on the new FS was them just releasing a change they made on accident.

blazing trout
#

What are you trying to say then?

cyan notch
lethal lagoon
#

It just feels so nice

pearl lion
#

I guess that people acting like VT had a vastly superior system that used way less RNG is not a good take imo

cyan notch
#

ur just setting yourself up for disappointment when they eventually fix it

lethal lagoon
#

Plus the block is a big psychic shield in the first place

blazing trout
#

It is a vastly superior system. It’s still bad

#

Dark tide is dreadful

pearl lion
#

I'd say its better, but not by much

lethal lagoon
#

I mean I'm still geniunely shocked they fixed the psyker class, so yeah Im getting hopeful we get to keep deflector on all FSs

pearl lion
#

The reason it feels like theres a bigger gap is that most people who played VT2 have a tonne of resources they can throw into the pity system

fierce sinew
pearl lion
#

I.e. crafting reds

#

Which was not a thing initially

blazing trout
#

I mean, golds are fine, again..

pearl lion
#

I do agree that break points probably need some tweaking though

lethal lagoon
#

People have been complaining about flamer since release and they've only buffed it since then, so I don't think they give in to public pressure lmao.

blazing trout
#

There are only a couple extremely greedy builds that need every single % to hit their breakpoints

cyan notch
blazing trout
#

Most can be done with 5-6% in a roll.

pearl lion
lethal lagoon
#

deflector can just be changed to a large % block efficeny

#

Super simple

#

still useful

fierce sinew
#

they just memory hole the blessing clearly

cyan notch
#

its totally not useful

#

to some people

fierce sinew
#

or leave it there as a disrespectful "fuck you" for the entirety of the remaining life of the game

cyan notch
#

if u drastically change a blessing that some people have locked

fierce sinew
#

punishment for our hubris

cyan notch
#

ur not gonna have a good response from players

blazing trout
#

like 1.2% atk speed and 7% block efficiency will not have an impact in enjoying a new weapon in VT

fierce sinew
#

if fatshark cured cancer the forum mongoloids would be apoplectic about all the out of work oncologists

#

the players will be mad regardless

blazing trout
#

You make a new weapon, spend maybe 20 blue/green dust to get the stats you want, then you spend like 10 gold dust to get atk speed on crit, and move on

lethal lagoon
#

I'm not too sure what the argument is here, but the game is no where near hard enough to where you have to min-max. It's mostly just because we are all weirdos who enjoy that shit.

primal radish
#

Is it true all force swords have deflector built in now? Or is it only certain ones

pearl lion
blazing trout
#

It’s not about min maxing. I can not experiment due to rng.

leaden thunder
#

probably would tho

cyan notch
#

the problem is the blessing lock

pearl lion
#

Keep in mind that Legendary was the highest difficulty for years

blazing trout
#

I went threw 23 FS looking for deflector when I started this game

#

Never got it

primal radish
#

Also is it true that wildfire won't give a new enemy more than 4 stacks?

pearl lion
#

I do wonder actually if modifiers are supposed to take the place of cataclysm

lethal lagoon
#

I hope they add in some joke modifers like All enemies are now Ogryns

cyan notch
#

u know how many enemies there are in the game

#

u wanna fight 2k ogryns per mission

spice veldt
#

2k bulwarks

lethal lagoon
#

Ogryn genocide is my fetish

pearl lion
#

Flamers get around shields yeah?

blazing trout
#

Blessings and perks shouldn’t have tiers, and the game would have been better with an attachment system

spice veldt
#

around but not through shields

leaden thunder
ruby plover
#

ogryns are like #2 most fun enemies to kill

blazing trout
#

That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it

ruby plover
#

Ah lame

fierce sinew
#

call of duty smh

lethal lagoon
#

Blessing and perks having tiers is a lot of needless busy work, yeah.

ruby plover
#

i dont mind it

#

tbh

lethal lagoon
#

I don't either, but I can see why some people do.

#

min-maxing is part of the joy for me

ruby plover
#

optimizing being the end game is fine imo as long as you can guarantee 80% optimal rolls with a little investment

#

so like

potent echo
#

They should have kept the part where you can combine 2 lower tier blessings for a higher tier one

ruby plover
#

having that tiny bit of optimization to seek certainly keeps me more motivated

fierce sinew
#

there are definitely people who play for the in mission experience and view all progression as homework they have to finish to access that

ruby plover
#

well thats silly

#

they should just understood that it isnt necessary to 100% optimize!

fierce sinew
#

they want 40k skinned l4d

potent echo
#

Also I don't get the stats distribution system, devs say it gives players a choice but the end goal is 80% in everything hmmgryn

pearl lion
#

I suspect the 80% limit is so there is a possibility of a rarity above orange

lethal lagoon
#

What would that even be? Upgrading to red gives a random stat 20%? i hope not lmao

pearl lion
#

I dunno how they'd implement it

potent echo
#

Hopefully there's a mechanic where you can shift stats around, like you take a 60% defences and get 100% damage

pearl lion
#

But I'm guessing thats the reason

potent echo
#

But base weapon power is still 380

dusky bear
# pearl lion I dont have a single meta perked weapon and I still have fun and am pretty effec...

i dont even want a meta perked weapon. i just want to set up a blazing soul staff build. yet i cant get warp nexus any higher than 2 which is basically useless.

My biggest issue is not only the large grind to just roll a single perk, but also the lock system which can turn an item to trash if you roll 2 bad or undesired blessings or perks.

For example, i want a blazing soul build on trauma. It doesnt matter how good the stats and perks are. If i dont get blazing soul or warp nexus 3/4 as one of the perks, the staff is entirely unusable for the build. Its downright disrespectful of the time i put into it.

I cant rely on the shop or melk for it either. Shop rarely has level 3 blessings anymore, and melk 9/10 times has only axes and guns. No staffs or even force swords.

its raw rng hell

pearl lion
#

Like, for example another currency for completing missions which gives you a particular weapon at orange level when you spend it

potent echo
#

Isn't that emperor's gift (kinda)

pearl lion
#

Thats just more RNG

#

Get a random weapon

#

I'd rather get I dunno Emperor's Coins

ruby plover
#

than the actual means of acquisition

#

like i dont think the means of acquisition are perfect or anything but thats not the main issue there

pearl lion
#

1 coin per difficulty for a completed mission. Spend 15/20 to get an orange of your choice

kind jay
#

honestly now that we have the blessing codex we should be able to outright buy any blessing at their highest tier from melk

ruby plover
#

in my humble opinion

pearl lion
#

Or that yeah

kind jay
#

we have 4 currencies and ALL of them are for rng purposes

dusky bear
#

id be happy if it was as simple as melk selling a specific weapon you pick each day for +50% cost

pearl lion
#

Maybe Ominisiah's reward, spend a bunch of coins to unlock a blessing

ruby plover
#

yeah okay spending melk coins or diamantine on rotating blessings

ruby plover
#

maybe not even rotating if its gigaexpensive

#

yeah thats a neat idea fr fr

kind jay
#

no rotating

pearl lion
#

Like I've said, they just need a lever to release the pressure of RNG

kind jay
#

any and all at ANYTIME

pearl lion
#

I understand the RNG requirement for retention

#

But it needs to have some ways of helping get around it

ruby plover
#

combining blessings would probably be fine right

#

though that doesnt help with blessings that only roll at t3+

potent echo
#

I'm from the "remove RNG entirely" camp where if there was a mod that would unlock everything I would

#

Too bad everything is server sided

pearl lion
#

I kind of disagree

#

If you could just play with the best weapons all the time, there's no reward to keep you playing

#

If you want to play like that, just knock down the difficulty and be as effective as if you had a meta weapon

#

I guess they could add a shit load of cosmetics

#

To incentivise replayability

potent echo
dusky bear
#

I played hundreds if not thousands of hours of left 4 dead and left 4 dead 2 on xbox. Those games have no progression system at all

spice veldt
#

I'm incentivized to work towards only the best builds because my materials would otherwise feel "wasted"

potent echo
#

And gameplay retention comes from having a fun variety of builds to choose from

pearl lion
potent echo
#

Not running your single build and then maybe investing x hours for your other build

near gale
#

I've played over 3000 hours of Risk of Rain 2. Sure you can unlock some skills, but, items are randomized without an artifact that lets you choose what item of a quality you get. >.>

kind jay
#

the gameplay loop is good enough for me. the rng gear chase actually makes me want to play less

spice veldt
#

I am not going to grind for another weapon any time soon

potent echo
#

Not sure if mentioned yet but DRG's RNG progression is very well done

pearl lion
#

Their progression in terms of character power isn't RNG is it?

#

You level up, then choose from a selection of upgrades on a suite of weapon/tools you always have

#

Ive not played that much though so if it changes at higher levels im unaware

fierce sinew
dusky bear
fierce sinew
#

they are among us

potent echo
pearl lion
#

Ah OK

potent echo
#

But you will never get repeats

#

And there are no tiers

#

So eventually you will get everything

pearl lion
#

DRG is a gud game

potent echo
#

And it gives you 3 new "blessings" to play with each week

#

It's fun

ruby plover
#

DRG overclock situation is kinda fucked still with the new additions

#

but also theyre working on that with the promo changes

potent echo
#

They changed the OC system? Haven't played since the covid update

gilded viper
#

just had a DH kill all 4 party member

ruby plover
#

promotions give overclocks now

gilded viper
#

because the second guy who die DC and broke the DH

ruby plover
#

for the class you promote on i think?

dusky bear
#

and yet another run and gun blessing. fantastic

ruby plover
#

which means u can grind OCs with no timegate

#

idk if that patch is live yet but i heard about it

#

if there's one thing i'll give DRG devs credit for it's that they always fix problems that appear

potent echo
#

Oh I see, I guess even less reason to complain

ruby plover
#

but fortunately i would give them many other things too

near gale
ruby plover
#

ghost ship games actually the moast goated devs of all time

I asked them about why you can't die while down in drg on their dev stream once, they said it just wouldn't be a fun mechanic

dusky bear
#

damnation DH will squad wipe you

gilded viper

it should only do 2 then leave

Oh thanks

dusky bear
kind jay
#

I've never seen dh kill more than 2

gilded viper
#

this is like the first time i seen it killed more then2 people, not counting the time people die during it but it wasn't from the dh attack

spice veldt
#

under normal circumstances, it'll only kill 2

shut ether
#

Our teamate dced as soon as he was killed

#

This caused the DH to reset and kill more than 2

#

Because it spawned the bot in his death animation

gilded viper
#

u hate that he RQ too since the spawn was legit 5 feet away

crimson kiln
#

Does your average item rating matter like power in VT2 or no?

gilded viper
#

no

shut ether
#

People that RQ are pussies

gilded viper
#

i believe

shut ether
crimson kiln
#

You alt-f4 cuz you're annoyed at your skill issue
I alt-f4 to give my team a chance with a bot
We are not the same

lethal lagoon
#

DH picking another target after someone rage quits is really annoying

#

Just kill the bot.

fierce sinew
#

if there's an alt-f4 timing that reliably resets the dh so that it kills the goofballs that woke it that's pretty good tech to learn

lethal lagoon
#

Huh? DH always kills the person who woke it up. And then it targets the person that did the most damage, which is a really bad setup.

#

Because it encourages people not to try and kill the DH

#

If the person who wakes up the DH rage quits, it then targets two innocent people, which is rough

cyan notch
#

it encourages you not to wake it up without planning

lethal lagoon
#

Nah, it encourages you not to DPS it, which is dumb.

cyan notch
#

not to dps it if your first guy is a noob yea

fierce sinew
lethal lagoon
#

Basically if you wake it up, just accept the loss of two people, gg.

#

Because it will punish the top dps

cyan notch
#

if your first guy can kite its fine

lethal lagoon
#

It might be the first person who DPSs, I'm not sure if it's the top DPS.

cyan notch
#

then your dps wont be punished

lethal lagoon
#

But basically target 1 = wake up. Target 2 is who damage it first or most, not sure which.

gilded viper
#

i wake it up, i died
went to X player, player instant died and RQ during death animation
rest of the party get fucked cause of this

gilded viper
lethal lagoon
#

to be clear when I say "wake up" I mean fully activate it.

cyan notch
#

2nd guy is the one who did most damage or if not the closest player

lethal lagoon
#

And "damage it first" as in besides the person who woke it up

dusky bear
# shut ether People that RQ are pussies

had a vet by the name of "knowbody" the other day. Dude constantly ran ahead and then complained about anyone who wasnt right with him having "split up" near the last area i told him to quit whinging about splitting up when he keeps running ahead. we got into the last area and he quit because "im just trying to communicate, and im no longer having fun with yall"

crimson kiln
lethal lagoon
#

if the person who aggros the DH rage quits, they are a douche. if the second person it targets rage quits, I kind of get it.

cyan notch
#

rage quitting is dumb anyway

lethal lagoon
#

But at least wait till the death animation is over, be polite.

cyan notch
#

if the team is wiping just stay for like 30s more and u get your pity mats

pearl lion
#

I had a guy complain that we weren't keeping up while we were looking for mats as if we were looking from books

fierce sinew
#

ideally you kill it and just agree not to pick up the guy who woke it

pearl lion
#

Basically saying "Do you need the xp? yeesh"

kind jay
#

i got 290 pity plasteel on a dam fail once

fierce sinew
#

he can leave or watch, he aint playing with us anymore

lethal lagoon
#

I think a lot of the post patch people who flooded into t5 don't realize you have to actually search the mats or you'll win with like 100.

pearl lion
#

And me and the other two were like, "We want the mats you dingus"

#

It was weird cause it was difficulty 3 or 4

#

Maybe like you say Crow, he was a returning player

lethal lagoon
#

So were they playing the whole time thinking everyone is slow, not realizing that crafting mats aren't just an end reward lmao.

pearl lion
#

yeeea

lethal lagoon
#

Imagine going through dozens of missions like that lmao

pearl lion
#

"I've played 6 hours and I can finally upgrade an item to orange"

cyan notch
#

crafting mats were never an end reward though

#

even if he was returning he would know you have to pick mats up

lethal lagoon
#

That's not what I meant.

#

But it's too much effort to explain what I meant.

they're all too committed to the rp idk

as long as they stay relatively nearby they can recite edgar allan poe for all i care

get your revenge by setting up a Deimos headshot oneshot

also the new shotguns feel kinda COPIUM

no new shotguns are g-great

gilded viper

maybe i don't have a built one

You just need the single bolt action totally a shotgun in 40k that spews fire

The fireshot has what seems like infinite pen, it goes through everything and lights it up

Same deal for both

gilded viper

hybrid glade
#

Optimal blessing for a Deimos? Im not running a blaze build

feral verge
#

the lower the peril resist, the better

#

(lower peril resist means its easier to remain at high peril for unstable power + warp unleashed, as well as draining peril with quietitude for toughness)

calm sapphire
#

How could I improve this purgatus on perks / blessings?

feral verge
#

keep flak, keep warp flurry

#

change carapace damage to crit chance, change run and gun to warp nexus

pearl lion
#

Run n gun only works on left click yeah? So I cant imagine thats good

feral verge
#

whereas warp nexus and warp flurry are always useful

umbral jetty
#

Struggling to see the value in warp flurry off-hand. it would make your peril generate slower, which is less toughness, less crit rate

#

but none of the other blessings do anything really. so it can be nice i suppose

feral verge
#

It puts more fire down range which means more damage which means more kills for battle meditation to proc on

calm sapphire
#

@feral verge For purgatus, which is considered the dumpstat? quell speed?

feral verge
#

Quell speed

#

Especially now, since quelling is already fast

#

Burn and cloud radius are the most important stats

#

DMG isn't that important

#

Peril resist is nice for spamming rmb

calm sapphire
#

Thoughts on my feat build?

Don't really know what im doing

I'm running purgatus with blaze force sword

feral verge
#

Not what id call optimal

#

This is an optimal purga build

#

Warp battery + ascendant blaze are important

#

With 6 warp charges form wapr battery, an ascendant blaze ult will wipe out hordes

#

And you'll get all of your warp charges back

#

You'll get warp charges from soul blaze attacks (purga)

#

Kinetic shield is meh

calm sapphire
feral verge
#

Kinetic deflection is amazing for clutch revives for teammates

feral verge
calm sapphire
feral verge
#

I only play damnation, and this is my main build for it

#

It really wrecks

calm sapphire
feral verge
#

Nah

#

I BB them

pearl lion
#

Yeah Im partial to the fast BB talent

feral verge
#

If I have Deimos or obscurus sword I might swing at some of them

olive ember
#

Fucking purge staff

feral verge
olive ember
#

SMH become enlightened

pearl lion
#

Quite strong against bosses if you have the peril = plus damage as well

olive ember
#

And run surge staff

pearl lion
#

Or use VS and be doom guy

feral verge
#

(dont run surge if you want to kill stuff)

#

(surge is the most mid staff)

calm sapphire
feral verge
#

Nah I'd rather the psyker bring any other staff

#

Even a 2nd purga

mild tartan
#

How we doin boys

#

How’s psyker

feral verge
#

Because psykers with ascendant blaze can give each other warp charges with warp fire attacks

pearl lion
#

Psyker is probably stronger than its ever been

#

New swords gud

feral verge
#

So the 2nd psyker with a purga can give you warp charges

calm sapphire
feral verge
#

If they have something that can do warpfire

#

Like blessings or other fears

#

Feats

calm sapphire
#

Hmm so whats your thoughts on shredder psyker and how does it compare to purga or other builds?

feral verge
#

Shredder is strong, but one of the best aspects of psyker is that they don't need to care about ammo economy with a staff. When you run shredder, or any other gun, now you lose that benefit

#

And if you match with a team who hog ammo too (vets, ripper ogryns) then you have a problem

#

I definitely wouldn't bring a gunker build into high int damn shocktroop

#

Because ammo drains very quickly in that mode

calm sapphire
feral verge
#

Besides elite killer of the team, psyker is usually the CC powerhouse

#

With a gun you lose most of that cc

#

With an ammoless gun, you got no cc

#

Besides ult

#

And bb stagger

calm sapphire
inner sable
#

What’s a good staff to compliment an Illisi sword?

pearl lion
#

Basically any

#

Probably not trauma

#

Since thats short to mid range and illisi is already very good for melee

feral verge
#

If I have 6 warp charges and ascendant blaze ready to go, I'll pop that

#

And they'll melt in a few seconds

pearl lion
#

I like VS for the long range clear and ability to stagger at a distance

#

Iliisi murders anything in melee other than bulwarks and arguably crushers basically, but thats what BB is for

spice veldt
#

trauma is fine for illisi

tall temple
#

what talent s does a shredder psyker take? auto bb and extra damage on bb?

pearl lion
#

Im sure its fine, just IMO its the one I see having the least synergy

spice veldt
#

i use trauma as my anti-shooter staff and avoid using it for hordeclear

pearl lion
#

Oh yeah I can see that

#

You mean non elite shooters?

spice veldt
#

including gunners usually since it often includes other shooters/gunners or the outer area interrupts their volleys

#

most maps don't have long enough lanes for the limited range to matter, and I'm used to finagling with the trauma staff after 700-ish hours on it

#

I also despise knocking groaners/poxwalkers with it since I don't want to dedicate mental resources to keeping track of them

pearl lion
#

Yeah I'm not trying to poo poo it in general, I just mean that it operates on probably the shortest range other than the surge staff, but the surge staff has a different function and with how strong we are in melee now, our short range is pretty well covered

spice veldt
#

ye, just wanted to say that the stagger it offers can synergize with the illisi by making space against shooters

pearl lion
#

Fair

spice veldt
#

though it does have some map dependency

#

if only I wasn't too lazy to make a list of maps that trauma is particularly good on

pearl lion
#

Note that I am biased, I have basically only used VS

#

But I'm familiar enough with the concept of trauma from Conflag

spice veldt
#

same; albeit for trauma

#

I only ever used the other staffs early on and on lower difficulties when I had yet to garner hatred for shooters

#

give me my peril glock

pinning fire / blaze away being the best combo

if you think your cool sword make you so bad ass that you dont need a use of range weapon/ staff and only bb/melee then think of your team or accept getting kicked

cyan portal
#

@cyan notch how much peril gain on a special charge?

rocky cedar
#

I would have thought warp res is more important for illisi than the others

cyan portal
#

you want high peril. to either quell it for toughness or keep for dmg boost

rocky cedar
#

Yeah but on Illisi you're spamming special pretty often, seems like the potential down time it causes would hurt more than getting to high peril faster helps you?

timber bolt
#

Wow

#

That sword is crazy

cyan portal
#

with unstable slaughterer 4 you only need one special swing to be one shotting most things.

rocky cedar
#

Yeah but you're usually going to do that many times in a row to kill hordes quick

#

The damage is less the limiting factor, in most cases I'd wager

blissful mural
cyan portal
#

100% power is boosting cleave too, so you heavy swing through chaff

forest coral
#

Illisi is such a build enabler for ranged options rooFloat

#

Ive kinda fallen in love with deimos for staff builds tho

#

being able to one tap most elites or two tap maulers is nice

#

also it 1v1s monsties very comfortably, except bon bon

cyan notch
fading apex
#

what is yall opinion should i have gone for something else blessing wise?

shut ether
#

How does it perform?

fading apex
#

good i think its still feel like a grey one in a way. I'm wandering if i should just play force sword instead

forest coral
#

At the moment, deimos fs is basically just rapier but better

#

same cleave, more damage, basically same mobility. Can actually kill bigger elites

#

yeah.

fading apex
#

maybe double dip cc whit ripost instead of precognition

fading apex
forest coral
#

yeah

wet belfry
#

None of the blessings on dueling sword are really good

forest coral
#

some of the blessings are counter productive

#

like rampage, since ds doesnt even cleave 3 last time i checked

fading apex
#

pretty dumb indeed

wet belfry
#

It can but it was extremely hard to proc.

fading apex
#

if it had a bigger headshot multiplier it would make it more appart i feel

forest coral
#

I mainly used sword V before the latest patch but

#

currently its in a weird zone of redundancy

#

deimos has all its strengths and none of the weaknesses

wet belfry
#

Deimos is insane

wet belfry
#

Ive been using a level 10 psyker

forest coral
#

you can 1v1 assassination bosses with it

#

without any issue outside of horde interference

wet belfry
#

Deimos still was able to kill stuff in damnation

forest coral
#

I mainly use it in damnation

#

I like the illi, but this suits my playstyle more on staves

wet belfry
#

It speaks about the weapons power when a terrible version can do things.

fading apex
#

obscurus is completly outclass now i think about it

forest coral
#

yep

#

after patch

#

literally all rapiers are redundant

fading apex
#

sadge

forest coral
#

they're usable but just outclassed

#

like u aint pulling these off with another melee rn

fading apex
#

would be nice if the light special attack whit the obscurise would cleave instead of stick since deimos is already better at it

forest coral
#

yeah

fading apex
forest coral
#

the stick is only useful for 1v1ing and disabling melee elites imo

#

otherwise just sniping with the heavy thrust is much more efficient majority of times

#

also the light attacks hit so hard it works in most mild- medium hordes even with the shitty cleave

#

it however will get overwhelmed in extreme hordes

fading apex
#

also it can have deflect i think pretty good

forest coral
#

Having deflect currently in the weapon is very very nice

#

but after it gets patched it will be a sad day

fading apex
#

its bugged?

forest coral
#

yeah

wet belfry
#

Deflect is a crutch anyways

forest coral
#

its nice to have but not necessary

fading apex
#

fun gimmick i'd say

forest coral
#

nah, its definitely saved my ass a few times but id rather have more damage when it matters lol

wet belfry
#

Ive had it helped me once since it was bugged

#

And that wasnt to save me from dying

#

That was just preventing some health loss.

river sand
#

thing is, what else do you need except slaughterer, so why not deflector

wet belfry
#

Executor, unstable power.

#

More damage is always more damage

forest coral
#

bloodthirsty is juicy on this thing too

river sand
#

but when you got slaugtherer they just produce overdamage ^^

#

thought bloodthirsty gives only 1 crit now ?

forest coral
#

oh that got patched?

#

i thought that was only for zealot weapons

cyan notch
#

yea it got nerfed

#

all bloodthirsty the same now

river sand
#

unfortunately i still dont have one, so i couldnt test

#

but with just one crit, it might be good on illisi special spam

forest coral
#

oof

river sand
#

but garbage on deimos/obscuros

forest coral
#

well, guess having deflect on deimos aint the worst choice

#

in a weird way makes the sword feel complete with the blocking animation lol

fading apex
#

true

blissful mural
#

deflect is passive on both new swords, but not obscurus, so if it gets patched, maybe the old new swords will retain them

fading apex
#

just checked there is like only six possible blessing on duelling sword that just bad man

forest coral
#

and they are all fairly awful or mediocre

#

or straight up, counter intuitive

chrome arch
#

I mean I don't remember whether Precognition and the other Dodge one work on just dodge or dodging an attack

fading apex
#

dodge an attack only

chrome arch
#

I mean if dodging on sound cue counts, then I say it would be fine

#

Suffice to say both new Fswords are probably more appealing

fading apex
#

its neat and work well against horde but power sword just make the same but better

forest coral
#

ye we were discussing and agreeing the deimos is basically just the ds but better in literally every way except mobility

#

which was marginally different at most

#

and illisi is just best all rounder available rn

#

heavy sword+ powersword love child

chrome arch

Pretty much

fading apex
#

welp gonna try to get a riposte IV + Shred IV should be fun around 50% crit agaisnt horde

chrome arch
#

That would be awesome

#

Got riposte IV rampage IV ds but didn't pick it due to low stats

#

(milk)

fading apex
#

mine atm got shred IV and Precognition IV high stat tho dmg is kinda low

chrome arch
#

By the way I noticed something strange

#

Every Staff counts as separate archetype?

#

So that you can get blessings for say Trauma only from surrendering Trauma?

#

Because looks like it

forest coral
#

yep

chrome arch
#

Aaawh

#

Sadge

forest coral
#

Its lame but thats how FS wants us to roll i guess

chrome arch
#

At least all staves have like 4 blessings each

forest coral
#

I think Force swords share blessings tho

#

so there's that at least

#

yeah they do

#

i was kinda extra sad when i realized my head takers on tac axes didnt go to my c axes

#

it was like

chrome arch
#

Taxes and Caxes is fine

#

Staves tho

#

Huh

forest coral
#

theyre all just hand axes

#

and yeah

#

i agree for the staves lmao

chrome arch
#

Recently started playing with Nomanus Surge staff and...

#

Feels strange

#

Definitely doesn't damage all the front of the horde like purgatus does

#

Does Surge have slightly better range?

forest coral
#

Well slightly

#

surges biggest issue is there is a target limit of 5 unless u crit

#

which gives an extra target of cc

#

so its horrendously bad against horde since the target is rng

chrome arch
#

Honestly personally I believe if Purgatus had primary fire like rest of the staves it would be the best

#

But since it has that

#

Flamer fard

#

Yea

forest coral
#

But its very good in specialist gauntlet

chrome arch
#

The far🇩 you mean?

forest coral
#

surge

chrome arch
#

Ah xD

wet belfry
chrome arch
#

Well duh

forest coral
#

trauma and void

#

trauma is excellent for that mode

wet belfry
#

A shredder autopistol! You should become a gunker today!

forest coral
#

especially hi intense

chrome arch
#

But yeah I wish purg had the bloody projectile like the rest

forest coral
#

I agree only if you dont have a good vet on your team

#

biggest issue with Hi intense gauntlet is ammo management on a competent team

chrome arch
#

Also I noticed Nomanus really craves more crit like Warp Nexus

forest coral
#

ye, purg with crit wont go wrong

chrome arch
#

Thingy is, I would like to run quicken/fast BB + cerebral lacerations for support but I can't get used to Surge which would be perfect for such builds

stable silo
#

think this is worth buying with milk money ?

forest coral
#

Yep

#

1thats a good sword

#

1 good blessing and a decnet perk already done

#

god stats

chrome arch
#

Maybe if I knew more uses for Nomanus (surge) it would be better

forest coral
#

id say save surge for a team u can use voice comms with

#

its pretty horrible as a quickjoin staff

chrome arch
#

Yyyyyyeeaaahh

#

Totally

snow scaffold
#

Why is it horrible

chrome arch
#

For pubs I will probably stick to purgatus asc blaze

#

You can count on that

forest coral
#

Very limited target cap, huge damage fall off from first target shocked

snow scaffold
#

Oh right the survivability

forest coral
#

mediocre damage

#

and just cant handle dense horde scenario since zap is rng

rocky cedar
#

Surge is as good as your team mates are

forest coral
#

^^

rocky cedar
#

It does pretty bad damage on its own

snow scaffold
#

Not to mention everyone takes all your kills lol

rocky cedar
#

So if your team can't capitalise off the CC it's dead weight

forest coral
#

if ur using surge

#

ur not expecting to kill

#

or top dam

rocky cedar
#

I'd rather have Trauma, the CC scales way better with density and you actually get to do damage

stable silo
#

final product what should be changed u guys think?

snow scaffold
#

Actually I've really tried purgatus today and it's so fun, you absolutely can play the most aggressive with it

forest coral
#

It will both horde clear and control elites with no target cap

snow scaffold
#

I haven't tried that one that much, I was mostly a surge staff user

forest coral
#

Can easily hit 500k damage in hi intense

snow scaffold
#

Does it stun crushers

forest coral
#

yep

#

it can stun/ yeet the gryns

blissful mural
snow scaffold
#

Maybe I'll try the trauma staff but the purgatus is just too fun if you have an aggressive playstyle

forest coral
#

Purg wont go wrong

stable silo
#

blackwater try the trauma its hilarius and addicting

forest coral
#

its only a bad staff if your team is very good since everything will die before the fires even make a difference

#

But with an average quickjoin, purg will hard carry

stable silo
#

with purge its great you have amazing horde control but you dont get the viscerally see wahts happening as they burn the light consumes all with trauma u see the explosions bodies and body parts flying around

forest coral
#

I personally love purg in lights out

#

slap on a little wild fire and the way is lit for you NODDERS

#

warp battery will still be a stronger option most of the time

snow scaffold
#

I'll eventually try the trauma staff but I play my pskyer like it's a zealot with a flamer lol

chrome arch
#

With purg tho I feel obligated to use asc.blaze

#

And don't like to lose stacks in segments where it will be hard to quickly regain them

#

💧

#

With some rng tho it may happen you suddenly regain 3/4/6 stacks right after casting so that is nice

#

But I think I then used psychic communion not cerebral lacerations

forest coral
#

the lovely thing with purg is

#

it works with either ab or kb

chrome arch
#

What this abbreviation means?

forest coral
#

kinetic barrage, ascendant blaze

chrome arch
#

Ah well yea

snow scaffold
#

I don't think psychic communion is that necessary, most people don't constantly spam their ability and save it for the right moments in heresy+

forest coral
#

I like ab in a team that can take care of the elites for me

#

i use communion just because im lazy and it keeps me topped up with minimal effort

chrome arch
#

I may use lacerations then

#

With nomanus it's always lacerations bc I use quicken
