The 3 stacks don't do that much damage. If you double crit for 6 it's a different story. Also 3+6 on elites is funny.
Trauma + Deimos doesn't have any problems to deal with anything so I bring the 6 stack ult for that "fuck my team mates are dumb" moment so I can just clear the room and get them out of trouble in a few seconds.
But realistically that Crusher you're BBing has probably taken a few bolter rounds, or a slash with a powersword
3 stacks doesn't but the point is to ult to add more
and then you don't have to wait until you have 6 stacks
With nexus spirit trauma and 311112 you are always walking with 6 stacks if you don't count the beginning of the map when you walk out from Valk.
for me, it's not good in comparison to the other pairing of aura + flayer
Yeah thats fair
I would rather have CD on elite kill over 8% extra damage
though I do have problems maintaining warp charges with flayer
I can't dispute your own experiences, but I don't sit at 6 stacks all the time with just communion
You do get more from blazing spirit when it triggers but if your ults don't clear full hordes you'll be stuck with few over long runs
4 stacks isn't enough to BB a rager, no?
Alright zealot chat is trying to speedrun any% ban so
At normal peril I mean.
talking about how devil's claw is the best melee
What about second blessing?
i'd take trauma because the repeated hit encourages you to never stop spamming LMB
Plus it gives you extra style points for knocking that crusher over like a bowling pin.
reason invites doubt and doubt invites betrayal and betrayal invites chaos, so publishing a scientific article has tzeench knocking on your door like "yooooo i saw that"
typical grad student having good dreams
sincerely hope that weapon balancing they mentioned in the comms link leaves our new toys alone 
-50% dodge distance on the illisi
heard you’ve been enjoying the poky sword shame if we nerf it
Your teachers tell you your article is like super important and then only the evaluators and a chaos god check it out 
so close to a perfect deimos, got really bad blessing luck
3900 to mutants without slaughterer
almost enough
It’s the first target
That 65% roll on first target honestly is what hurt the weapon the most I think more than the blessings
Also do keep in mind that in an actual game you will probably have some peril and some warp charges so expect an uptick in damage
Quick Q: Is Quietitude regen toughness only about active quelling or passive too?
Both
It’s what makes it rly good recently since the quelling changes just makes it super reliable now
I will be genuinely surprised if they don't nerf the FSs in some way
Essence harvest better imo
they didnt touch power sword for the most part
I imagine they'll either remove unlimited dodges or lower the damage
I get the whole peril building for bonus damage, but I still think it looks funny to see a Psyker happily petting his sword while a mob burns to death in front of him
I think they nerfed the cleave on powered strike, but yeah that didn't really slow it down
the first nerf was nerfing the cleave from infinite to a finite number and then giving it damage falloff with each target hit
yeah so PS has like 2 hits of boosted cleave while the new force sword gets one hit of boosted cleave/dmg
If they take away unlimited dodges I’m actually going to mald
monkey's paw: -99% dodge distance
The worst part is that that’s when all the fucking balance slaves will come out of the woodwork and go “comon unlimited dodges was cheesy and clearly unintended”
and what is Soulblaze? I don't understand works of Wildfire at lvl25...
Wildfire just isn’t that good
That’s all you rly need to know tbh unless they buff it or rework it again
Soulblaze itself is kinda goofy
regular force sword. thus, its bad
deimos and illisi needed
but it's like AoE de-buff for enemy or what?
Soulblaze is just psykers fire dot
soul blaze is the blue/white fire from purga staff, or wildfire, or warck and ruins feats
I still hope we get a force weapon that does an AoE stagger on special
it DOT burn damage, like the zealots flamer
So think flamer dot, but for psyker since they are both dots
aaaa gotcha :D
Like a force mace or axe
But they are considered different from flamer dots
Less dmg iirc
Compared to flamer
the hidden power of soulburn is that it makes every mob super visible so the veterans don't pile on the one guy you are brainbursting
You cant target the blue headed guy if they're all blue headed
so at 25lvl what is more reliable? 6x warp charges or 10% of brain burst?
Depends on the build
Certain builds will take one over the other
You use ascendant blaze?
the extra 2 charges is like 8% bonus dmg or 12% warp resist, best pick imo
ignoring wildfire, the lvl25 feats and lvl15 feats are somewhat paired with each other
you usually either take Psykinetic's Aura + Kinetic Flayer or Warp Communion + Warp Battery
Not necessarily I stopped using Communion with battery
i hate BBing so at least communion or flayer has to be picked
well I'm still learning Psyker. Got Illisi and Voidstaff. Right now at lvl25 and running 3-1-1-1-maybe3 xd
Flayer typically unless you are running purge
That’s the thing when you run purge AB generation is enough imo
Essence harvest, Inner tranquility, Communion, Kinetic deflection, warp battery, and quicken. My favorite way to play.
BBing rules tho
I feel voidstrike doesnt really build charges well since you spend less time brainbursting, so I would go flayer over battery
quicken
BB is fine with barrage but I otherwise hate it
killing bulwarks too since I hate bulwarks more than I hate using BB
Sounds crazy but I tend to use my ability for everything but peril. CC for revives or pushing away a burster that slipped to close
a pure quicken brainburst build is funny if you just want to pop heads and roleplay as the shouting Dragonborn guy
So the 70% refund is nice
For voidstrike I’d say maybe play safe and go for 3/1/2/1/3/3 first
And then play around with communion and warp battery if you think you can forgo flayer for warp battery for that extra 8% damage
thanks for a help! :))
barrage BB with aura feels amazing on hi/shocktroops. Even better when there's another psyker with aura
psyker feats are all pretty decent now, and you have to try hard to make a build that sucks by picking feats that obviously do nothing for the weapon you are using
any gooood
for funny fire staff build sure
is that a thing 🤔
if you want to do this, swap one of those perks for crit chance
Trauma force or voidstrike which is objectively better for horde clearing?
void
I figured
trauma is hard to use when youre getting overrun
It’s off meta but it’s not like bad especially on trauma
But yeah
trauma is the best when youre getting overrun
Prob the only thing wildfire is good for tbh
its void that struggles
Yeah, there's definitely room in the psyker's arsenal for a force hammer or something
what're the feats?
If you are talking about killing sure but in reality all you do is rmb spam at your feet
And everything near you gets knocked
Great space creator
trauma is the one that's better when you're getting overrun yeah?
I guess. I just never liked trauma.
faster charge time and much larger AoE
this? 🤔
if not for the 80% stat cap, trauma's charge speed would outpace voidstrike's by 0.3 more seconds
The class ability handles that pretty well I feel, back pedalling too
albeit only every 30 seconds minus CDR
pretty useful when you're coming out of airlocks/elevators
such as the one in excise vault where there are two potential patrol locations to all descend onto you after the interrogator event
-the psyker going crazy yelling "KNEEL"
-the ogryn trying to find this neil fellow
Only loner smh
Savants like “YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE”
"I command thee kneel"
Seer best
Loner is best boi
obviously
it has really good delivery
I personally use male loner
but I like the crowd control line
it's very cold
have you heard the story of Saint Messalina? It's not a story the zealots would tell you.

I think they added a new line continuing that btw
"I dont actually care witch." -Cutthroat Vet
where the judge is actually interested
^^
also
looks at Ogryn named Neel
I remember one of the zealots actually cares
is there two solaces
yes
we meet again
:P
someone tagged a different sean instead of me
Which one is the one from GTFO
How does one fumble that bad
So I can rant about how jank GTFO is
GTFO is fun
well it was still Sean but it had numbers after it
And how underwhelming seeing the e1 T posing slide tank is
Right not the one from GTFO
<_>
@wet jacinth how about you
._.
What should I be looking for, blessings wise on this?
Moar Slaughterer
Keep unstable power
Keep slaughterer, but get a higher tier
God I wish I had unstable power 4. Jealous
Ideally what blessings should there be on it?
Change crit damage to maniac
Or is that a good roll? I'm oblivious.
I told you homie
Slaughterer and unstable power
So, got lucky.
Very very lucky
Blessing 1: Slaughterer T4
Blessing 2: Doesn't Matter T3
With warp unleashed + unstable power, you've got 49% extra damage at high peril
At 80% peril
Oh wait got my math confused
45% extra damage
though damage and the damage boost that comes from power are multiplicative with each other iirc
If you add 6 warp charges from warp battery, you've got a whopping 69% more damage (funny number, but I'm not joking)
Gotcha.
Special Activation on the Ilsi Blaze into a poxwalker/groaner horde will instantly charge all 5 Slaughterer stacks. And then you just keep killing.
it doesn't seem to proc slaughterer correctly when you get multiple kills on my end
To build peril fast with that sword, use the charge special, them swap to your staff, them back to the sword and use the charge special again. Do it over and over to get perio
if I look at the buff UI, I usually only get 1-2 stacks even though I'm certain I've killed at least 3 both in the meatgrinder and in missions
It's actually a great idea to run it with the flame purga staff
Flame staff is for hordes
Ok, sounds good.
Deimos sword for tougher enemies
Cuz it's more of a single target weapon
Overall, I don't recommend surge staff
I guess, I use it on hordes too, seems to do allright.
Yeah.
THE TIME HAS COME, I got 2k plasteel, time to watch Hadron ruin my dreams
But it's purpose was designed for single target
That's beautiful. I'm praying for you
Fair.
view dragging be like
The ONLY thing id change about your sword is the peril resist. The lower, the better
My experience is that I have 5 stacks of Slaughterer after 1 special swing (heavy attack). Don't know what else to tell you. Was there a a hotfix in the last 4 days? Haven't played since then.
Really? Why? Doesn't it allow me to play with high peril longer?
Its... not as bad as it could have been?
I'll keep unarmored I guess, T2, which is sad
It lets you get high peril faster
High peril means more damage, and more toughness from quietitude
i'd say that low warp res is only really for quietude
though battle meditation does proc a lot with illisi
The only staff you can get high peril sort of quick with is trauma
Even then, I think sword special spam is faster
Especially with illisi
Peep my vid
41% peril resist
Uh that's good homie
watch me go mad touching my sword
Executor for slaughterer, and unarmored for flak
Infested is good cuz it lets you 1 shot poxwalkers
And dogs
you'll see me kill 9 groaners in a swing but only get 4 slaughterer stacks
https://streamable.com/g2rguj
Final form (until Melk graces me with slaughter 4)
infested is literally just poxwalkers
1 shot break points on poxies
And dogs I think?
dogs, but they tend to die in a split second anyhow
dogs is for da shredder
unarmoured is only groaners and dreg enemies (excluding the head of dreg bruisers)
The faster you kill poxies, the more slaughterer stacks you gonna build
too late now 😦
f
Veteran: "see, I press this button, my sword starts glowing, and I swooce an entire horde"
Psyker: "Interesting. It's the same for me, but I also go mad as a bonus"
and i have to stroke my sword 1000 times
scabs have unarmored as well, various bits
my main illisi
though you're usually headshotting them anyways
IM SO JELOUS
UNSTABLE POWER IS NUTS
Im still looking for slaughterer
I have been trying to get unstable power 4 for weeks
Ditch precog and ditch weakspot damage
yeah I know, Im spending my memesteel trying to find slaughterer
Unstable power 4 is the last piece to my main build
I never tested this in the Psykanium, so maybe it's true that you can't get more than 4 stacks in one swing?
If that's the case then I ammend my previous statement to say that with one special activation heavy swing you're 80% to full Slaughterer stacks and with every following swing there's really no stopping you
seems like a general inconsistency of it not tracking every kill made by your melee properly or something
I spent all 20k plasteel that I had saved
Got 4 or 5 t4s
But no unstable power
It's making me unstable
I settle for T3s. If I get a T4 its a bonus
did another cleave into a bunch of groaners and only got 1 slaughterer stack
It's taken me longer to get unstable 4 cuz I've been playing for fun, not for mats
High int damnation+ shocktroop when I can
Maybe I should just get back to plasteel farming on low int damn and regular damn
I should really just start playing damnation
which of these is worth getting
neither
i took my Mk5 out for a spin today chopping ogryns in half tiggles my funny bone XD
Executor is bad . The other one is meh
force sword deals 100% damage against all armor types except carapace on heavies, and you shouldn't be using lights anyways
executor stacks get dropped extremely easily
Late as hell. But I'll just say. I have over 1000 hours
This number would've been much bigger if I consistently played back then for rundowns 3-4-5
i mean 4 and 5 are the hard ones
idr how hard 7 is in comparison
just that 7 is just
jank as fuck
I played it a few times during the free weekend and wasn't super impressed
has anyone ever rolled T4 blessings on a blue? wondering if it's easier to farm T4's by rolling/selling blues than waiting for the Milkman
I played a lot too
I have
It's def possible
I've heard you're more likely to get a t4 from going to purple to orange though
I have no idea what's more optimal
i'm usually gated by money more than mats, though that's partially because I only really care about two weapons in this game
once
its two rashads
it may come as a large surprise that it's the trauma staff and force sword (friendship ended with obscurus now it's illisi)
i'll shit in your pants thyazide
Based
not if i shit in them first
not mutually exclusive
i have 0 t4s with trauma lol
true, what are you doing later?
Nothing in comparison
In terms of difficulty
Some select levels are difficult but pale in comparison to R5
Laugh at him
Laugh at him with his T2 blessings
Lmaooo lmaooo LMFAOO ooool ahahahah
i have t3s
Get t4s
This new hi intensity squads is fun as fkkkk though
Runs are like
everyone fine and almost full health for most of the run
suddenly everyone less than 25% of health and 3 players are crowd controlled and on fire

sounds bout right
was it assassination too?
perfectly smooth run and then suddenly everyone down and eating shit
Well my experience on assassination is like
I have to be main tank and kite the horde and boss on a merry go around loop so another players can deal with elites/ res downed party
but of the 3 gauntlet assassinations ive done, usually the boss gets obliterated since 2 or more players specced for massive damage bursts
like the boss is actually the easy part amongst all the mess
i had a nice hishock chasm terminus run but two players got jumped by dogs right from the door at the finale and we got fucked
sounds about right
this was only low intense but it sums it up pretty well how fast things go to shit lol
and yeah deflector actually saved the run here
The Damnation director can go absolutely insane. Beast of Nurgle appears and the director goes "oh here have a horde also and a couple of muties and dogs and hey lets have a random squad of shooters show up also while were at it. Have fun. By the way, second horde coming right up."
melkbux time
the rare 2 t4
wondering if i should get it
and turn it into a fire sword meme
ehh, i think i will
do you play as a psyker named thunder
cuz i encountered one today
not me
thunder is best in slot
oops
i mean warp nexus
lol
that is a good staff
worth it
keep warp nexus, get rid of terrifying barrage for warp flurry
get rid of carapace damage for crit rate
figure numbers could be better but ty for input
the only thing that staff is missing is 76 burn
76 burn gives you an extra stack of fire
hate to say it but, having a good vet makes gauntlet much much easier
since they can delete most of the elite swarm before they even close the distance
makes me sad when I have to run over to a flamer to beat their asses since they're at the perfect distance where BB is marginally slower than running over to whack them
instead of whipping out a peril glock and going blam
Surge is actually great for this mode in good team
but trauma will be better for quickjoin
Been hitting dumb numbers for damage, like 500k+ on hi int
the addition of the illisi made me start doing big damage consistently
ye
illisi has that flexibility to it to adapt to multi horde easily and become heavy sword/ pseudo power sword
deimos with enough practice will take out any elite in a pinch whilst still having the flexibility of a rapier
Huh, would that actually be worth it with wildfire? I presume you're swapping executioner for blazing spirit?
siblings, do i buy from melk?
the mobility is rather sad i will admit
but god DAYUMN those perks
id get it just to pull the rampage
yea cuz heresy and damnation dont pause horde or special pacing when a boss spawns
Is ascending blaze the best talent in that tier now?
Its as useful as kb in a different way
Its amazing to have if ur confident your team can reliably deal with crushers and other armored units/ specialists
otherwise KB is a safer choice for flexibility
deflector gaming
but yeah its pretty aids
is that a thing in malice and below?
huh well thats interesting
wonder how much of that is what actually contributes to the spike in difficulty from malice to heresy
and how much is just stat increase of enemies
also yeah
brought a deimos into damnation
can't use that fucking weapon
I legit perform better with an obscurus than an illisi tho
derp
so at this point Idk whats wrong with me
hear me out with deimos
its reaally good once u practice the lead up into heavy thrust
it compliments horde control/ clear staves very well
can 1v1 bosses that arent bon bon
@near wyvern look what i got
and it has high mob
thats cool n all
but when theres poxwalkers everywhere around me
I need horde clear
kek
illisi
thats what ur staff is for
eh

obscurus tho
do you guys just chain heavies for Illisi horde clear?
it got horde clear and single target
obscurus is kinda outclassed
10/10
by either illisi or deimos in different aspects
personally I do a charge swing into a normal heavy swing
yes but it can do both in one package
jack of all trades, master of non situation
but yeah
idk why I legit am better with the obscurus than the illisi
idk if its cuz I get too aggressive with the illisi or what not but
probably used to it
maybe
I am advocate of git gud with deimos

i keep reposting this stuff but i stand by that thingo
if i claim something is good imma back it up
im doing heavy-lights because theyre perfectly horizontal
i do special heavy into light using bloodthirsty
Anyone know if Warp Absorption works with the flame staff?
Got everything I want, good mobility, high damage, thrusting range, huge elite and boss dam
It works just not optimal
perhaps...
Good luck
Good for rubbing
love a bit of rubbing
Good ol rub
Man, I wish they would change the damage curve on soul blaze. Lower the higher end and raise the damage of the initial few stacks or something.
It would make blazing spirit and wildfire combos much more impactful
Ya. I use a void strike staff. So I have a nice ranged aoe option and a great melee single target spike damage
dafuq is wildfire
the new feat that replaced Kinetic Overload (middle lvl25 feat that's between Warp Battery and Kinetic Flayer)
reporting back on this
its pointless
illisi kills everything
so the fire doesnt really proc
shit just dies
Think of it this way, anyone who doesn't die wins the prize of getting set on fire!
why not slaughterer
its not for hordeclear
i like unstable power for it's 'first strike' capability
i use the sword to rapidly gain peril for damage, and rapidly drain peril for toughness
its a really useful setup
Today I saw two Hi+Shock. I played Heresy lol
id personally just use a deimos
so, soulblaze seems kinda pathetic, am i missing something?
that fair
Nope, it is pathetic
k
Till you get high stacks, looks pretty though
just getting tied of quickmatching into low int, feel like im just running the whole game as there nothing happening
i like deimos too. but this thing gains peril far faster than a deimos, even with a quickswap tech
and the special lets me one shot most things
well thats most certainly a bug anyway
without getting stuck in it
wouldnt count on it being like that for too long
i do about 75% of mutie hp in one swing
yeah ik, that's why i have a few deimos' ready to go
if this thing gets nerfed into the ground
i am trying to build a deimos version of this sword
exorcist + unstable
yeah thats what i want
i'd change flak for maniac tho
and i'd want extremely low warp resist
for deimos? Why?
its good for all force swords
and quietitude
oh okay, illisi is the only one of the force swords you can rub over and over which is why i ask
high peril means more damage from warp unleashed and unstable power
ahhh
The others have to have their special attack expended before you can rub again
u can qq the others too
isn't unstable power bad? 4% power seems pretty weak
Oh thats true
thats how people did it before the new fs
how many stacks?
Is that power shared onto your ranged weapon?
I still prefer slaughterer
with unstable power + warp unleahsed + 6 warp charges you get 69% more damage (funny sex number but im not kidding)
You can have both if you dont want exorcist
remember the old saying: rub your illussy to make it real juicy
it used to but not anymore
I hear deimos' stab attacks do insane damage
like more than the special attack
or something
light and then heavy has higher DPS than the special
and you dont leave yourself open
having normals do more damage than the special seems unintended though
and average everywhere else
normals doing more damage is prob intended
really?
considering the damage spread it's definitely intended
just that the special only deals extra damage against flak
the obscurus' 3rd light also deals more damage than both the lights and sweeping heavies
when i use deimos, i roll with this
this makes the sword sound like it has a dead special basically
yup
wow okay surely they arent going to leave it like that, one way or another
it has uses
eh the special still is situationally useful
nuking flak enemies
the stagger shouldn't be underestimated either
Where does Deimos special do less than regular hits?
same reasons that you'd use the obscurus' special
not all the regular hits, the stabs specifically
people like to myopically disregard the special very quickly
How do get the stab doing more than special?
they simply gave the stabs higher base damage
nani
stab cant 1 shot maulers or 2 shot crushers or stun lock them
does the special do more damage than WU+ 6 WC brainburst
this would be an irrelevant question if the game had more careers by now btw 
off the top of my head, I don't recall the obscurus' special doing more damage than brain burst
just that it's faster and costs less peril
so it usually results in more DPS
depends on the enemy
i see
How do you get that? Vs what a target?
yea ur never gonna 1 shot maulers with bb or heavy stab
test it in the meatgrinder and you'll see
I did, i don't see it at all
even on the obscurus, normal attacks will outdamage the special on reapers for example (unless you hit the flak part of reapers with the special)
What's the difference between the 3 force sword models?
Testing rihgt now, H2 hits for 450, special L1 hits for 1418
How do you get H2 to hit for more than special?
Any psykers attempt solo T5 runs? Im trying and not getting too far atm lol
gotta hit headshot
if ur talking just raw numbers per hit then special probably does more im pretty sure
but i assume people are talking about dps
the big damage comes from the fact that the h2 can take full advantage of the weakspot multiplier
(but special never was for dps)
whereas the weakspot multiplier is neutered for the special
here's a comparison of the l1->h2 combo vs the special against flak; https://streamable.com/44ildy
so the l1->h2 combo is competitive against the special even against flak
Illisi, good at basically everything. Designed to be more for horde clear. Doesn't have an animation on special hit
Stabbo one is good at single target and is apparently very strong at this
The old one is not worth mentioning cause the other two are way better
If you're used to the old one, just get the Illisi, it is very strong
If you've played VT2 and you liked salty's Rapier, try that
illisi my beloved
honestly if you are used to the obscurus and you have a good one (like me) hold on to it
theres a good chance that the two new force swords are gonna get nerfed
also the obscurus has better horde clear than the deimos but better single target burst than the illisi
so specifically against shit like crushers or to burst dps an assassination target before their shield comes up run the obscurus over teh illisi imo
¯_(ツ)_/¯
they made the timing on initiating the 2nd heavy longer so this minor inconvenience to my muscle memory made me dislike it now
just get new muscles lol
very hard getting new muscles in these trying times
its good for hooking dogs and doing crushers
need that unstable power 4 so bad
or any situation where you need a stun
but otherwise it should be poke poke block
or some variant
I got a slaughterer deimos and yeah can't use that shit ngl
i was using an achlys axe before deimos so its like an achlys with a better special
Good question
why practice when obscurus does what I need it do
which is one shot crushers and maulers
I'll wait for new balance changes to come out before putting more time into the deimos
then again, I loved spear weapons so I’m probably biased toward deimo
in the mean time I gotta savor the illisi while it lasts
Oh no I like spear weapons
just not the deimos
XD
I don’t know if they’ll nerf anything that much
Just look at state of flamer and several vet feats
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Most I can see is deflector being innate getting removed
since that is a “bug”
for sure having more tools at your disposal is never bad
it absolutely is a bug
let's go I'll bring surge for teacher cc
the number of people who dont even like deflector but suddenly want it for free is insane
yeah guys it would be cool if i got slaughterer inbuilt into my fs that would pretty cool
yknow cuz its a sword and its meant for killing
I mean
I like deflector
and I want it for free kek
Give me free deflector and then make deflector blessing do something cool and different
like ranged block on revive!
change mind in motion to deflector and have it work on all weapons
I mean it would be shit cuz it’s going up against peril blocking
Whilst I don’t wanna lose deflector, I’d rather have a damage blessing over it
thats fine its a tradeoff
Deflector without peril blocking legit blocks like 2 shots from my experience in CBT
can give it peril block just for ranged
And that 2 shots is enough to make kinetic shield obsolete
For the most part
But yeah idk the trade off kinda shit imo
Maybe idk
yea that aint gon work
I’d say i doubt it’s happening but
Hey who knows they reworked KO a mostly useless perk into wildfire, another mostly useless perk
For AB stacks?
no i mean the feat
Yeah spread dot to more enemies for more AB stack gen
Wildfire being better than KO is arguable tbh imo
Cuz KO atleast had the rly rly niche use of transferring lots of burn stacks to elites quickly
Wildfire apparently has a hidden cap of 4 stacks
Meaning it won’t transfer stacks to enemies with 4+ dot stacks
Making it almost completely useless except for trauma blazing spirit builds
Siblings Ive done it. Surely the blunts will accept me now that im dripped out of my mind???
Congrats
what was your last penance?
theyre both pretty mid but wildfire does have its uses for spreading fire (wrack and ruin/blazing spirit)
much more usable than KO
more stacks easier stacks
Compared to 4 stacks to an elite whenever you over capped a charge which with a purge build meant you could probably quickly put 4 or 8 stacks on a nearby elite as well as purge stacks
🤔 actually now that I think about it
yea cuz with purg u have an easy way to apply and spread burn
All they had to do was change KO to apply stacks whenever you gained a charge instead of whenever you overcapped charges
but with wildfire you can do that decently without purg
I mean with wildfire you would only want to do it without purge Tbf
Cuz funny hidden limit to stacks
my point was just wildfire is much more useful to many builds instead of ko
I guess
They are both pretty bad.
It went from a shitty side option for only purge to a shitty side option for blazing spirit
Wildfire + Run n Gun Purg? Let's goo
yes like i already said above
But eh maybe they’ll rework it again kek
it works for wrack and ruin too
what's the core purg feat meta now?
3/1/1/1/1/2
Or just 1/1/1/1/1/2
Or even 2/1/1/1/1/2
Interesting
🤔
I mean Quietitude is safest, warp absorb is burst, essence harvest for the funny essence harvest on purge build
More or less the same as usual
ive been trying aura with kb with purg
works pretty good
especially for shock troops
battery or flayer?
battery for more damage
6 stack burn on AB F is way more impactful as well
Can't remeber the exact name but its the one where you have to BB 5 elites or specials in 12 secods
He's not using AB
ah. that's the exact one i need to complete my psyker penances.
I found getting chrges off just KB was a hassle, or at least staying at 6 was
did you do it in a pug or was it with a premade group?
all alone
just wondering if i should keep trying with randoms
or try to get a group idk
the best approach
Using KB with purge 🤔 I mean it works
I just went into lobbies that I knew would be empty
so I could get boys
boys
bots
Without flayer? That means stack gen is only from BB
Very hard to get it with randoms
Get a group honestly
Def not my jam but it’s a thing
yeah the game just gave it to me. I dropped into the match and 5 gunners were just next to each other. Which I had never seen before
yeah, that's probably my best bet
for normal stuff yeah i can see that but for hi int or shock troops its much easier to get 6
i'll most likely end up doing that. shouldnt be too difficult with the shock modifiers
Yeah that's a good point
whats funny is I just got it on a normal match with no modifiers
ive spent an ungodly amount of time trying to get this penance and i keep giving up, uninstalling, then coming back like a month later
I got it on the coolant replacement in the manufactorum
like, i wanna get it done but it's just so irritating.
The bit before the final area where you go down the multiple levels
The last area before the elevator had a whole bunch of gunners and a couple of specials
pic'n'mix - I did in a pug, go to comms/plex on high intensity, get to the bit where you have to do the interrogation,go up on the platform to the right above the health station, when the lights go out 5ish shotgunners/gunners/flamers/whatever will spawn in the door, pop them
I was ahead of my team so I just popped them
Helps to have warp resistance talent and the fast BB talent too
Its fucking horraible
I just got lucky man
No matter what I would get 4 only
or a vet would steal my shit
that's my problem
i can't tell you how many times i get 4/5 specials
and that 5th one is never around
Also have a vet hit their special to mark them helps, but at the same time if thats happening chances are they're gonna nab your kills
EXACTLY
i would try to mark it so i could find them
but everyone would just focus them done
every pug lobby has at least one vet, usually two
with comms plex vets don't tend to kill them as fast because they are tied up with a huge horde and they are back by the interrogator not where you are seeing them come in the door
yeeah its a rough life
i got my pick n mix when bio optic was up, but the vet was also on the other side of the room
thank you for the tip.
that was recommended before and i ended up almost getting it there
will try again soon.
you can camp their spawn in commsplex
i just didnt know exactly where they spawned from
since im usually playing the shock events with hi intensity
so theres quite a lot of action
you are pretty safe there hordes and specials leave u alone 90% of the time
its right when the lights go out, and they go out 2-3 times so you can try a couple times, and they run in the main door you came in to get there
yeah and that talent that makes you BB really quickly is obviously a must
no way could I have gotten it
did you use any curios that increase combat ability regen?
I ended up also picking the talent that reduces ranged damage scaling with peril so i could just ignore shots
they spawn at the sides and if you are near their spawn they kinda just afk
4% combat regen is only 1.2 seconds, so it's generally not that worth it
12% is just too little to be worth it
and thats maxed on all3
not totally useless, but I would prefer other perks
i agree.
just making sure i wasnt missing out
unless you wanted maximum uptime on your kinetic barrage and whatnot
I dont remember what curios I had on, but I tailored all my feats to BB easy as possible
on making it easier
so comms plex
alright
thats what ill keep trying on. whenever its around again
comms plex is the way to go if you want to pug, alternately get a full group and get them to gather up a bunch, not sure it's actually easier but
i just wish BB targeted specials elites by default instead of focusing on trash enemies when there's a horde
would make things less of a pain
Yeah the end of the ammo run mission you could have an oggy put down their shield at the bridge to extraction etc
But thats if you have people willing to help\
ping things with middle mouse, I have found BB likes to lock on to pinged targets more than randoms
Also its usually ragers that turn up and you cant 1 shot BB them
being able to target elites/specials within or beyond a horde would be a bit much
elites and specials are usually already a bit taller than commons
Oh yeah also
i suppose, but it's not like psyker has much going for it relative to any of the other classes
Do a regular brain burst THEN pop your ult
maybe if you said that before the patch
even then, our major weakness is just the lack of a single-target burst DPS force staff
it's just a weapon issue
The timer starts after your first BB finishes, so save the speedy BBs for once you've done your first
alright, will do
brain burst is a major utility in and of itself
i tend to get over zealous sometimes and use it too early
u can with warp unleashed
Ah OK
Hello, trying to understand this perk. Does that mean for every attack during the first charge of the staff, the 2nd charge charges 4% faster (up to 20%)?
So in an ideal situation with lots of enemies I've attacked, the 2nd time I charge it it charges 20% faster than the first time?
it means that if you hold the charge button but attack with the attack button more than once, each sequential charge attack charges up faster
performing secondaries in a row will cause subsequent secondaries to charge faster, with the requirement that you must hold RMB and not swap to any other weapon or animation in the process
Each round is 4% faster than the last. You build a stack each time you start a charge. So your 6th attack in a row will be 20% faster charge.
ulting during your charges will not drop your flurry stacks, but entering the suicide animation will drop them
@wheat olive Rank 1 of that blessing isn't a huge change in power, but it's something.
ahhh interesting. Seems like it's a good blessing then right, at least at higher levels?
psykinetic aura worthwhile?
One of the best
i like aura very much
Yes, quite strong.
i run it all the time but i have been looking at lacerations lately
Aura is poggers
Awesome, thanks everyone!
this is what i usually run with focused channeling/rending shockwave trauma and a deimos with deflector, 1 stam 2 health curio
lacerations only affects enemies that aren't already killed in two brainbursts or less (aka Crushers and bosses), so I find it to be too situational for my tastes; or if you can trust your teammates to follow up on your initial brain burst
i seem to go down more often missing third health curio but i think its because si'm not using deflector as much as i should be
How should one deal with close range poxbursters if you are rocking a force sword and staff? Force sword push does nothing to them
which staff
If you're running Deimos just use those sweet sweet dodges
keep in mind that the strength of your pushes depends on the stamina consumed
which staff
pushing at zero stamina will not affect them
I suppose any staff but surge is what I am thinking
just zap them
purg does not seem to do anything when you right click
if nothing else, there's the push-attack of the force sword
zap with surge, primary fire with purg, trauma just blows them up, and voidstrike i guess a low level charge
RMB of the purg doesn't have much stagger; it's the LMB that has the stagger
run and gun on purg is fun
LMB is for stagger; RMB is for soulblaze application and more damage
Push should absolutely work on them
If it doesn't it's because your team mate just shot it probably
if it does enough stagger it can push them, doesnt have to be a push
pushing is reliable unless my teammates shoot them, so I default to it if they're too close for me to blow it up with my trauma
just gotta wait till they're mid jump
just make sure to push with 1 bar of stamina or more
With fs you push them with the first boop, not the second push.
with the caveat that it has a slow windup
really only a last resort for if you have no stamina and you must use it
You need to get used to leaving it a bit later than feels comfortable though.
hell even crushers die in 2 brain bursts if you're 6 charge and high peril with warp unleashed
i just wanted to make monstrosities faster thats all
25% more damage from 3 other people is more damage than i can do myself
unless they are running pepega builds in which case we have bigger problems
Best way to learn to deal with pox bursters is to get the creature spawner mod and practice in the meat grinder.
lacerations is certainly the way for that if you want to spec into that
Yeah it'll be good for monstrosities
I personally wouldn't give up aura for it but it's your call
i just use aura because giving specials faster can help in a hectic situation
can't use mods on geforce now :/
there's also dodge-sliding if you want to get some extra mileage out of your dodge
Does lacerations affect assassin boss shield damage?
though psykers have the same dodge interval as zealots, so we can spam dodge pretty quickly
and i use kinetic flayer because its easier to maintain stacks when you're tits deep in horde
i use trauma for horde clear, deimos for cleanup (as i do with achlys) as well as dueling
i've gotten a lot better at sitting in the edge of exploding
and thats why i dont run kinetic deflector
since i am critical all the time anyway
i just run block efficiency and a stam curio
probably dont need the stam curio
i can't decide if kinetic flayer is better than warp battery
since i'm at like... 63% efficiency
though it probably is
depends if you staff main
if you staff main probably because you arent forced to brainburst every 30 seconds
with trauma, I don't find myself brain bursting frequently, so taking communion/flayer is pretty much mandatory to avoid having to brainburst a random ass enemy
unless purg
purg gets its own thing
still looking for a trauma i can put crit blaze on
same
all damage, all make enemy go away, very little in the way of clever outside of the BB
I like illisi with it since it pairs well with quell and KD
Basically the same
but, very flexible and "fast" in a way that most psyker builds aren't - I keep up with everyone easily whereas even with purg I often find myself in a doldrum having to prep the next tactic
I just run communion out of sheer laziness
psykinetic's aura is wonderful for when the vet is a lazy or incompetent piece of shit and I'm doing their job for them with BB
combined with KB of course
Is trust a good blessing for combat axe mkV?
Not really since it only benefits the heavy attack
brutal momentum is usually required for combat axes, so that means giving up headtaker/decimator
smh
XD Ty guys
700 hours later, finally get Out with a Bang
delete bromentum and buff cleave when
get 364 force sword
upgrade it twice
think its an illisi
its a fucking obscurus
HOW
AM
I
THIS
DUMB
skissue
im brain damaged

holy shitr
only wasted 300 plasteel though
i just had to play (and carry) as psyker while deaf cuz my headset died
now my fucking brain is shutting off
buzz...buzz...buzz....
Not bad for a mission I joined 85% of the way through completion 
Can't wait to consecrate or refine literally 2 items and be out again
is the issislisli special bugged?
Is t4 trnasfer peril good for trauma staff?
bugged as in how you can spam the specials for fast peril?
maybe referring to how it doesn't proc warp absorption
I feel like if you have brutal momentum, and even if you don't, there's almost zero reason to take it over decimator. The only reason would be that the stacks stick around if you have to block/push/transition with BM, but deci the stacks max out basically instantly so...
like yea, bummer you lost them, you'll have them back literally the second you touch the horde
likewise with big dudes, if you're gonna be smacking them more than a couple times you'll have your deci stacks
sucks
since the secondary can not hit headshots (minus Kinetic Flayer proccing off of it)
bugged as in
it doesn't operate like the other two force swords
it doesn't stick and fully deal it's damage
wat
doesn't seem like a bug
seems like it's intended to function as power sword's special
yeah its intended
but the other two force swords dont?
- you dont charge deimos anyways lol
they also gave it a similar cleave distribution as the power sword's special
so it's evidently intended to have the same properties as the power sword's special, including the fact that it doesn't stick
certainly weird that it's different from the other two though
there's a wide gap between it sticking and then it cleaving through every motherfucker
I sort of accidentally built this
I don't really know if I want to actually use it
prolly not
soul blaze sucks
