#

couldnt see this guy's HP, but he survived too

olive ember
#

Literally unusable

gilded viper
#

Did a quick test and it really is mauler going to be more annoying instead of shoot their head 10 time for 10% and burn will kill them

still hearth
#

RIP AB.

#

Psyker is dead

#

Play Vet instead.

olive ember
#

Lmao

#

Fucking vet

gilded viper
#

Normal enemy with flak is whatever since I go for the kill instead of burn killing them

#

Dot till the same on reaper so I'm fine

olive ember
#

What about maulers ragers and gunners kek

gilded viper
#

Gunner are around 100 dot which is ok if I'm already beaming half their health

#

Guess the thing how I see it I usually going to get them down to half health to make sure I get full stack of infernus amd the dot normally finish it off, it still kinda work like that

#

Mailers just ain't super free anymore

runic hornet
#

AB should still be able to kill things if you Force sword swap, right

#

AB->FS special->proc slaughter

feral verge
#

with healthbars on. 6 stacks of AB

runic hornet
#

because as I recall you obliterated scabs by a fairly large margin by doing that

rocky cedar
#

AB looking a little questionable as a pick to me now TBH. 4 stack AB especial which was manageable with blessing boosting before

olive ember
#

Dunno

#

Since the nerf was sizable as well

#

Literally cut flak damage in half

late yew
#

It is not like you have better option with purgatus than ab anyway

olive ember
#

So yeah

feral verge
olive ember
#

AB is super questionable on non purge builds

gilded viper
#

I mean, I’m more curious of AB on non Warp Battery builds

feral verge
#

besides shredder, where it's a must

olive ember
#

I’m assuming 4 stack AB is dead

feral verge
rocky cedar
feral verge
cyan portal
#

Yeah, imo it has hit wildfire builds the hardest.

feral verge
#

with pinning fire

feral verge
#

pygex did testing for that

runic hornet
#

i think you mean shredder boosts AB damage

feral verge
#

found it to be shit

rocky cedar
olive ember
runic hornet
#

t4 Trauma wildfire w/ ascendant blaze can get a healthy amount of stacks in circulation

rocky cedar
#

Oh right yeah you meant the other way around

runic hornet
#

I play it

cyan portal
# feral verge found it to be shit

It was good if you could get the 4 stacks to be leathal, with unstable slaughter fs it endless spread and killed things. Was very strong.

olive ember
#

I mean it’ll still kill… things

#

Just not anything above a poxwalker

#

I’m assuming ofc

feral verge
#

.

rocky cedar
#

Wildfire still gonna be ok for charge generation with trauma and illisi fire builds I guess

olive ember
#

But a 50% dmg nerf is E

runic hornet
#

Unlike with purgatus you actually regularly swap to your illisi so you can end up with instances where you get 2 crits of wildifre and then it gets unstable power+slaughterer buffed

gilded viper
#

So really this whole patch was just a wildfire nerf in disguise

olive ember
#

It’s a nerf to like 1/4 psyker builds

#

Anything utilizing a dot got nerfed

#

Purge, wildfire, blazing spirit, etc. etc.

feral verge
#

today is the day where high DMG stat purgas reign supreme

cyan portal
olive ember
#

Ascendant blaze which is used in like 3 different builds

gilded viper
#

Lol no cap here

feral verge
#

DMG NO LONGER THE PURGA DUMPSTAT

gilded viper
#

Lame

spice veldt
#

soulblaze got the same nerfs as the flamer right

feral verge
#

think im sitll gonna run purga + AB as my main build

feral verge
spice veldt
#

so just flak, maniac, and carapace

gilded viper
#

The 200%-100% flak damage

spice veldt
#

still seems pretty fine

cyan portal
#

flamer also got reduced ammo and reduced stagger

gilded viper
#

Flak dot was halved

#

Isn't it just flak?

feral verge
#

did you see my screenshots of AB + warp battery damage?

gilded viper
#

Maniac and carapace unchanged afaik

feral verge
#

@spice veldt

spice veldt
#

only like 40%-ish of the gunner and like an eigth of the mauler's hp

olive ember
#

Pls no not another “just flak”

gilded viper
#

Wait all dot was nerfed? So is bleed zealot dead in the water? And what about ogryn? Don’t they use bleed for dr?

feral verge
spice veldt
#

whew

olive ember
#

Burn dot

gilded viper
#

But is it not just flak that got nerf for all dot?

radiant lance
#

Do you guys like Slaughterer on Deimos? Feels kind pointless for a non-horde weapon.

runic hornet
#

bleed zealot was never about bleed damage

olive ember
#

Just flak iirc

runic hornet
#

it was about proccing crits

#

arguably, bleed damage going down is a buff for crit zealot

feral verge
olive ember
#

There are more nerfs applied directly to flamer

feral verge
#

so its nice to have

rocky cedar
radiant lance
spice veldt
#

i always want some good hordeclear on my melee so slaughterer is a bit of a must-have if I can

gilded viper
#

Deimos is fine, not Illisi, but fine.
Obscurus tho KEKW_ogryn

radiant lance
spice veldt
#

and not only for hordeclear but to make space and push enemies away

cyan notch
#

still good for ascendant blaze

feral verge
#

i have an illisi that i love to use with purgatus

cyan notch
#

one poke in the head +15 power

olive ember
#

I perform better with my obscurus than my illisi or my deimos tbh

spice veldt
#

with purg, sure; with voidstrike, especially so

olive ember
#

It’s kinda a bruh moment

gilded viper
#

Illisi Purge is my favorite

feral verge
#

illisi is still a decent single target weapon

#

illisi + purga makes me play like a flamer zealot, it's awesome

gilded viper
#

Keep forgetting power give push the extra stagger

#

Man if we get a proper melee psyker. Illisi Purge is only gonna be better

feral verge
#

this is what i like to run with my purga, when not fucking around with deimos

#

this thing fucks hard

feral verge
#

the only thing it cant do is carapace, but you BB those anyway

radiant lance
#

Why Exorcist?

feral verge
gilded viper
radiant lance
#

And not Slaughterer

feral verge
#

when i got exorcist 4 on it, i as pissed at first. thought it was bricked

#

but when i played with it, i found i really liked it

#

because this thing a peril generating machine

gilded viper
#

Wasn’t a very useful exorcist bug nerfed this patch?

radiant lance
#

Oh uh, you know Exorcist was nerfed right?

#

It activated on non-weakspot hits.

cyan portal
#

with purga, 95% dot ticks does work

spice veldt
#

still activates on weakspot yeah?

radiant lance
spice veldt
#

you shouldn't have trouble hitting headshots anyways

feral verge
#

i use purga until 100% peril, then swap to my illisi to quickly get to 50% peril. regenerating bonus toughness the whole time, from quietitude + exorcist

gilded viper
#

It can hit weakspot pretty easily

#

Isn’t it repeated weakspots anyhow?

feral verge
#

i always aim for the head anyway

spice veldt
#

yeah, but the bug fix won't affect the repeated weakspots behavior anyhow

feral verge
#

exorcist lets me play even more aggressive

radiant lance
feral verge
#

i wouldnt bother with exorcist on t3 or below though

#

t4 only

radiant lance
#

Since before any hit was a "repeated weakspot" hit

spice veldt
#

how hard is it for you to hit a weakspot with the illisi

feral verge
#

because t4 is 5% peril, which is what quietitude needs

spice veldt
#

it's still hard because it only procs on the second swing

feral verge
radiant lance
#

Now if you hit a weakspot, then not a weakspot, and then a weakspot, you might not quell any peril, no? That's what I mean.

spice veldt
#

the second swing of the illisi is a diagonal

#

as long as you hit at least one weakspot in your cleave, it counts

gilded viper
#

Worse case scenario, time will pass and u start passive quelling

cyan portal
#

with warp unleashed you don't want to be dropping peril though, purg up to 100 peril then start chopping of heads and charging it now and then to hold 100 peril

spice veldt
#

that's why I don't find the bug fix particularly impactful

karmic reef
radiant lance
#

Since it's on "repeated"

gilded viper
spice veldt
#

yeah; I'll clarify that to be on the second swing and onwards after the first initial swing that hit a weakspot(s)

feral verge
karmic reef
#

I like having the faster single target dmg, but I would like to have horde clear for when I'm at high peril and cant use purgatus

gilded viper
#

Like might be the best melee in the game good imo

feral verge
#

mine has 41% warp resist

#

it gets high instantly

karmic reef
#

is it still good for single target dmg

feral verge
#

yes

magic burrow
#

Ilisi is now basically a power sword that generates peril

gilded viper
#

Yep

karmic reef
radiant lance
karmic reef
#

thats pretty nuts

magic burrow
#

no, you gain peril when you charge

feral verge
#

with warp unleashed + unstable power + 6 warp charges, the thing hits like a truck

olive ember
#

Welp dot nerf

karmic reef
olive ember
#

Psyker is dead now

#

SMH

karmic reef
olive ember
#

Did I ever use a dot build on psyker?

#

No?

spice veldt
karmic reef
#

with the exact same build

radiant lance
#

@spice veldt I think the optimal hit-chain is actually heavy 1, cancel, heavy 1, repeat

olive ember
#

Am I gonna proclaim psyker is dead?

#

Hell yeah

feral verge
#

im sure most of ya'll have seen this/know about this

spice veldt
#

yeah that's optimal

magic burrow
#

Power sword was nuts because you got multiple swings per activation. With the Ilisi, it's only one swing just like the nerfed power sword.

spice veldt
#

but we're talking specifically about exorcist

gilded viper
feral verge
#

that's what 41% peril resist looks like

spice veldt
#

if you qq cancel the 1st heavy, then you can't proc it

radiant lance
spice veldt
#

bruh I know

cyan notch
spice veldt
#

I've been telling everyone to QQ cancel the 1st heavy since the beginning

cyan portal
#

I just pretty miffed that my zealot bros still burn heretics better then me when my whole build is focused on it and for them its just their off hand weapon.

olive ember
cyan notch
radiant lance
radiant lance
spice veldt
#

the conversation about exorcist and the optimal attack chain for illisi are two different conversations

karmic reef
#

can anyone link the patch notes?

radiant lance
spice veldt
#

also the illisi still seems to cleave through multiple elites/specials

#

blocking/swapping weapons interrupts the "repeated" condition

magic burrow
#

has anyone tried a full on DoT purgatus run yet? Im kind of worried that they killed off a lot of psyker DoT stuff as a kneejerk reaction to Zealot flamer being OP

spice veldt
#

hence it will prevent exorcist from proccing

ornate hamlet
leaden thunder
#

we've tested stuff

#

it's still mostly fine

#

worse vs elites but 6 stacks still kills shooters/stalkers with any damage boost

magic burrow
#

ahh okay

feral verge
#

@magic burrow AB + 6 stacks of warp charges

olive ember
leaden thunder
radiant lance
gilded viper
#

Can we go 1 patch without a psyker nerf?

cyan notch
magic burrow
#

I use AB with the voidstrike staff, but mostly so I can get charges back quickly and not neccesarily for DoT damage, so no real loss there I guess

leaden thunder
#

I need to check if warp unleashed with 0 peril puts you over the breakpoint for stalkers

magic burrow
#

but I hate how we have so much soulburn stuff and they just blanket nerfed it all because zealot flamer OP

feral verge
leaden thunder
#

hmm

feral verge
#

the pic is with warp unleashed

leaden thunder
#

so you do need a little peril

spice veldt
#

i mean it wasn't only the flamer/burn that was strong

leaden thunder
#

ot make it 1 shot

feral verge
#

im not sure if i was at high peril

leaden thunder
#

with it at like 70-80 it def 1 shots

spice veldt
#

purg/flamer still wipes the floor with unarmoured/infested

magic burrow
#

soulburn also damages slower than regular burn

leaden thunder
#

so just ab then stroke your ilisi a couple times

spice veldt
#

sure, but the damage is only one part of the equation

#

being able to spread it to every enemy in your vicinity is another reason why they're strong

olive ember
#

Nah purge staff dead

#

Rip ascendant blaze

#

Long live surge staff

spice veldt
#

you never see anyone remarking about how good Dots (except bleed) are good on bosses

ornate hamlet
leaden thunder
spice veldt
#

yup

olive ember
#

And you took overpressure specifically for boss dot dmg

shy prairie
gilded viper
#

Always funny just sitting there watching a pysker/zealot just nuke the horde of elite with burn damage

spice veldt
#

though zealots have the thunderhammer

leaden thunder
#

ok so it seems if you have like

#

at least 25% peril

#

and warp unleashed

#

you still 1 shot stalkers

late yew
#

I don't get why people doing grim questr

#

Not worth the trouble

spice veldt
#

the challenge prob

feral verge
#

put slaughter or unstable power over precog

#

and elite dmg to maniac

#

and that thing will fuck

radiant lance
#

Probably Slaughter over Unstable Power imo

olive ember
#

Replace precog with slaughterer and you chilling

radiant lance
#

Honestly Unstable Power with how much passive quelling was buffed isn't all that big

feral verge
#

slaughterer is more power, but for my preferences/purposes i like unstable power for it's first strike capability

leaden thunder
#

how much damage boost does warp unleashed give at 25% peril?

feral verge
#

slaughterer is the best blessing on FS tho, im not debvating that

shy prairie
#

i already have a slaughterer/unstable on a somewhat decent iblisi

proven raven
feral verge
cyan portal
#

Logged soulblaze change as a bug, will see if they acknowledge it.

leaden thunder
#

so you need like at least 15% ish damage boost to 1 shot stalkers then

spice veldt
#

assuming the equation is 10% + 15% * 25%, it should be 13.75%

leaden thunder
#

that's is not bad

#

even just 1 stack of sluaghterer will put you over it

magic burrow
#

is bloodthirsty any decent on the ilisi?

feral verge
#

meh

leaden thunder
#

it's only decent on the silisi

#

it get gutted for the other version

feral verge
#

its not the worst

leaden thunder
#

that is one thing that is baffling

#

they leave out

#

the super rare t4 only blessing from their fix bug then buff thing

#

they have going on

late yew
#

We'll bang, ok?

cyan portal
#

"Fixed an issue with the Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer and the Rifthaven Mk II Purgatus Force Staff where crits would not apply correct damage and/or burn stacks on burned enemies." Has anyone worked out what this means? Do crits still apply double dots?

leaden thunder
#

it means the do again

olive ember
#

Purge is dead

#

Ascendant blaze is dead

cyan notch
olive ember
#

Welp anyways

magic burrow
#

gonna run a purge game to check the impact

feral verge
#

hmmmmmmmmm

cyan notch
#

its not that great

#

tried it didnt like it

#

the minimap is quite big

#

looks really out of place too

feral verge
#

trying it at the bottom right

#

(moved the equipped item wep menu, cuz i dont need that)

olive ember
#

Bruh

#

How else are you gonna tell what weapon you are using

feral verge
#

gonna use developer console for that

#

gonna open it and type

#

get current weapon

#

every time i swap

spice veldt
#

most sane cli enjoyer

tepid sinew
#

My current best melee weapons, but which of the two blessings should I replace and what should I replace them with?

#

Feels like the two blessings both kind of give a similar 20% power, but limb splitter reduces other dmg but, I have heard people say that was the better one so I am not really sure

spice veldt
#

for hordeclear, you should replace limbsplitter with brutal momentum

#

limbsplitter really only impacts push-attacks, but you ideally should not be push-attacking if possible

fallow meadow
#

Push attack until the world end.

#

You don't need limbsplitter if you have T4 head taker though.

#

Speaking of this graph. Yesterday it was 65% recent positive reviews. Now it's 62% .

gilded viper
#

Guess the dream of getting possive is dead

#

See if people are that upset with the nerf

cyan notch
#

the red line is the number of powersword vets

spice veldt
#

and flamer zealots

shadow quail
#

it'll never get overall positive imo maybe recent

supple skiff
#

its only like 50 anyways

#

oof

#

nvm its 70 now

#

was 50 like an hour ago

near wyvern
#

Nah, crit change just gor buffed cause apparently it was not always adding double stacks.

blazing oak
#

Other than the ammo part I really don’t see the flamer nerf as a big deal for the flamer specifically

olive ember
#

The reviews are big funny

idle bay
#

puts hazmat suit on Here we go reading zealot chat!

cyan notch
#

i dont think it changed flamer boss damage

supple skiff
#

GODSPEED SIBLING

cyan notch
#

just mag size and ammo

blazing oak
#

It’s only changed dmg and stagger for armored and maniacs

supple skiff
#

while looking at the reviews I noticed this for the first time

#

really are playing it fast and loose with the promotional material

near wyvern
supple skiff
#

on an unrelated note just did a hi intensity + hounds run on damnation with 3 psykers ( 2 of which were using purge) and an orgyn

#

I uh think im good on hi intensity for a while lmao

I think it’s funny that so many people, probably with good gaming rigs or something, report long loading times while my “unsupported” steam deck doesn’t take too long

i have this on an ssd i bought some years ago

leaden thunder
#

eprah has granted me the crit dueling sword

#

t4 shred

#

and t4 riposte

spice veldt
#

god bless

leaden thunder
#

with a crit chance perk

ornate hamlet
#

all my homies hate dodge blessings

leaden thunder
#

time to

spice veldt
#

that's like 50% crit chance at max right

leaden thunder
#

never use it

#

it's only t3 crit chance

spice veldt
#

49%

leaden thunder
#

so 54%

ornate hamlet
#

unplayable

leaden thunder
#

I think

spice veldt
#

oh right

#

god damn psyker base crit chance

#

think about all the swish swoosh noises

leaden thunder
#

all classes but vet base crit chance tbf

spice veldt
#

like a baby's cries

olive ember
leaden thunder
#

now it's time to literally never use it unless they buff the fuck out of dueling sword

#

it's the mk2 one btw

#

i literally have no idea about any of the dueling sword marks other then that I didn't like any when I tried them

spice veldt
#

2 cleave and that's all she wrote

magic burrow
#

Id like to see a Hi-shock lights out doggo ventilation purge sniper damnation game

spice veldt
#

cycling through all conditions randomly

ornate hamlet
#

ngl weapons should have their own crit chances

magic burrow
#

every minute a wheel of misfortune rolls

olive ember
ornate hamlet
#

basically like taxe

spice veldt
#

some weapons do

#

laspistol and combat blade off the top of my head

ornate hamlet
#

why is this game like this

leaden thunder
#

most automatics have negative chance

#

but crit multiple times in a row

leaden thunder
#

the stub revolver isn't quite right

magic burrow
leaden thunder
#

since it has crit chance scaling in it's stats

ornate hamlet
#

though the laspistol has no listed crit stat, to my knowledge

leaden thunder
#

it doesn't

ornate hamlet
#

its damage, mobility, stability, ammo and stopping power

spice veldt
#

yeah it's not listed anywhere in-game

leaden thunder
#

nor does the knife

ornate hamlet
spice veldt
#

weapons can have stats that aren't listed in their stat card

ornate hamlet
#

i have been fatsharked

spice veldt
#

e.g., the defence stat scaling block cost but not being listed anywhere

ornate hamlet
#

oh yeah, speaking of

spice veldt
#

or weapons having different default block costs

#

aren't hidden stats fun?

ornate hamlet
#

does block cost affect kinetic deflections peril buildup?

spice veldt
#

yes

ornate hamlet
#

well, at least my curios arent being wasted

spice veldt
#

it affects stamina consumption, which in turn affects the peril generation

ornate hamlet
#

funny warp man revives in horde and comes out with 40% peril

spice veldt
#

chad trauma user that only needs 25%-ish peril

magic burrow
#

my melee game is wildly flailing me weapon around while randomly dodging and shrieking for the ogryn to come save me

spice veldt
#

mines is spamming dodge with force swords, dodging attacks that I didn't even notice, and pretending that I did it intentionally

ornate hamlet
#

i dont know what i hit, i just swing and sometimes it connects

magic burrow
#

red X good, white X bad

#

I dont know what it is, I just cant seem to figure out how to block effectively in this game

spice veldt
#

dodging seems to be the name of the game

blazing oak
#

I’m convinced that when block pushing with the force sword, there’s a small window where they can hit you

spice veldt
#

the only attacks you really only need to block are the rager combos, plogryn uppercut, etc.

#

most melee attacks are either dodgeable or can have their tracking broken

leaden thunder
#

misread that

#

ignore me

vagrant frigate
#

fire helps build stacks also better at knocking dogs off people n shit I never use bb ever

spice veldt
#

smh smh my head

spice veldt
#

i know for a fact that there is a window to get attacked during push-attacks

#

not sure about pushes

blazing oak
#

When you do the push block, after your psyker closes the fist and before they release, that’s the window

#

Usually exploited by enemies behind you

spice veldt
#

hmm just spawned a bunch of ragers and they couldn't hurt me even if I was spamming push

#

are you talking about the push or push-attack

I crafted this gun in preparation to this patch month ago 🙂

spice veldt

pinning fire makes autopistols absolutely busted

magic burrow
#

I prefer Ascendant Blaze because I like to swap back to my primary weapon after ulting

olive ember
#

That’s why every class uses autopistol

spice veldt
#

at t4, that's 100% power

supple skiff

ulting with barrage and dropping a group of charging ragers with BB is chefs kiss

#

i also really really hate mutants

blazing oak
#

Y’all use more than one ranged weapon and one melee weapon?

spice veldt
#

no i only use the trauma staff and illisi

blazing oak
#

The second I got a surge I never equipped anything else :L

magic burrow
#

I dual wield staves.

spice veldt

any mentions of me using guns is fake news

shredder, run and gun purgatus, forbidden revolver
theyre fun weapons

?? This guy got a problem

kind wing
#

Nah

#

Just get out unless you're shitposting

olive ember
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

What if I’m not shitposting

kind wing
#

Then we pretend you don't exist

#

Easy catnod

olive ember
#

Purge staff is bad now idk what to say

blazing oak
#

You said psyker is dead too

olive ember
#

Oh well

#

Yeah obviously

gilded viper
#

So surge > prug is what u saying NODDERS

kind wing
#

I like Surge, just wish it hit more enemies

#

But it's godlike at stagger control

blazing oak
#

Hang on there don’t drag surge into the dps staff arguments

kind wing
#

Love seeing stunned Muties

late yew
#

You are just very bad

kind wing
#

Nah don't acknowledge him

karmic reef
#

are the other staffs besides void strike any good? In my experience surge feels underwhelming for the peril cost, and it hits so few enemies

feral verge
#

derpy isnt bad

olive ember
#

Dude I’ve played psyker longer than you and I’m probably better than you

feral verge
#

he has the damnation border

blazing oak
karmic reef
#

but I'll be honest, I havent experimented much with staffs

olive ember
#

You literally came to this chat like a month ago asking for help lmao

late yew
idle bay
#

As Surge staff enjoyer i did not felt this patch at all, but empathically sad for Siblings who were affected by AB nerf

blazing oak
#

Surge is for players who like helping teammates

olive ember
#

Not to gatekeep but yeah

vestal rose
#

wait what did they do to purgatus?

kind wing
kind wing
late yew
gilded viper
late yew
#

dead class btw

karmic reef
vestal rose
#

oh
to flak

olive ember
#

This guy thinks am damage nerf is inconsequential

blazing oak
#

Then Purgatus or trauma would work no?

olive ember
#

Actually bad take

karmic reef
#

hence why I use purgatus

late yew
vestal rose
#

that doesn't seem horrible
i mean yeah no dead class shut it down

kind wing
#

Yeah Vermintide was much more punishing

#

Imagine if managing Peril took away your HP here too LOL

vestal rose
#

is sad for AB tho

spice veldt
#

vets be like

#

Unchained main, get hit once and dies for it KEKW_ogryn

late yew
#

FFS when i use purgatus, everyone else using purgatus/flamers

karmic reef
magic burrow
late yew
#

When i switch to fuckn surge

olive ember
#

That’s the big difference you don’t have temp hp just toughness

late yew
#

The psyker in my team ALSO has surge

#

FUCK THIS SHIT

vestal rose
#

wait, did the nerf apply to soulblaze from AB ut?

spice veldt
kind wing
olive ember
spice veldt
#

ideally, your trauma staff should be able to one-shot all non-elites/specials

kind wing
#

Or you just ask what staff they use

magic burrow
#

the nerf applies to all damage over time effects

olive ember
#

So AB, wildfire, blazing spirit, purge staff

vestal rose
spice veldt
#

including bleed?

olive ember
#

All those get fked

#

Burning dot damage*

blazing oak
kind wing
#

I need to check what Blessings for Damage can be run on Trauma Staff

karmic reef
#

Ill still take AB just for the stack gain

#

I hate having to micromanage my stacks

spice veldt
olive ember
#

So yeah 1/4 of psyker builds got a funny nerf to any enemy with flak armor

kind wing
spice veldt
#

I personally run a focused channeling + rending trauma staff

late yew
olive ember
#

I just run pistol

#

Don’t rly care

blazing oak
kind wing
#

Then I don't see why you can't tell them to change or change your own weapon MonikaS

gilded viper
#

Burn dot*

olive ember
#

Burn dot

#

Which is stupid but yeah

spice veldt
#

lmao everyone is forgetting that bleed exists

kind wing
#

Bleed inconsequential unfort

long osprey
#

Purgatus wasn’t too OP imo

gilded viper
#

Bleed OMEGALULiguess

kind wing
#

I see Vets run Bleed Stacks on Grenades but I think that's not the best slot used for Talents

#

Still okay tho

#

Lotta blood is nice

olive ember
#

What you mean if you think getting your dot dmg nerfed 50% is bad then you are just scrub

spice veldt
#

it's not like the damage nerf is too bad, since the main advantage of purg is being able to spread soulblaze to any and all enemies that aren't blocked by a wall or bulwark

late yew
olive ember
#

What stat was that from lmao

#

Only like maybe 1/3 of psykers used purge

kind wing
#

To be fair I saw a lot more Purg Staff Psykers than usual with the previous patch

blazing oak
#

WAIT FUCK more psykers might start using surge in my games while I’m using surge now!

olive ember
#

This guy is literally the most confidently wrong person I’ve seen in psyker chat in a while

kind wing
#

Probably testing out Wildfire though

rigid sky
spice veldt
#

i'd say that I've seen more purg psykers than any other psykers, though that's not the most reliable source of data

olive ember
blazing oak
olive ember
#

I see a purge build maybe 1 in 4 games

vestal rose
#

i had a 4 purgatus damnation high intensity once
we did not win but it was funny

kind wing
#

Had a Purg Psyker that did not know how to do proper Peril control at all in Hi-Int Damnation

blazing oak
#

Actually wait don’t buff surge. I don’t want competition

kind wing
#

Blew up 5+ times total during the whole mission

late yew
kind wing
#

Someone definitely was braindead

olive ember
spice veldt
#

asking for help is cringe smh

#

imagine asking

kind wing
#

Imagine not learning through trial by fire

blazing oak
#

Imagine helping others in a team based game

kind wing
#

And struggling like the rest of us did

olive ember
#

Idrc if he’s asking just the fact that he acts like he knows everything when he’s confidently wrong with every other sentence today

vestal rose
#

damage purgatus psykers are heartbroken
but me out here with my run n gun and terrifying barrage? doesn't even matter babey

spice veldt
#

well, it's a fair question given that you are a self-admitted malice player

kind wing
#

You're the one getting worked up over it and acknowledging him anyway

olive ember

#

Why else do you think I was arguing with arcotash about illisi nerfs

kind wing
#

Truly sociopathic behavior whatthefuck_heresy

spice veldt

i forget what that argument was about

vestal rose

You could do literally anything else with your time, though

i'm too smoothbrained to retain anything past a week ago

you'd be happier, and so would everyone else :)

Couldn't be me

Happy with blowing shit up and blowing myself up for underestimating the Peril gain from Trauma Staff

vestal rose

#

"Oops I forgot to check"

#

"Oops my F is on cooldown"

magic burrow
#

I used to use purgatus a lot, but swapped over to voidstrike once I got a decent staff. I dont know if it's better, but it's just so much more fun. Also not having to swap to brainburst every time you need to kill something slightly out of purge range feels like such a quality of life improvement

spice veldt
#

I don't blow myself up with the trauma staff anymore (too much), but I get fucked by my muscle memory because I activate my illisi's special out of habit for mutants

kind wing
#

Truly be like that

#

I am a walking skill issue and you will have to put up with me

#

No questions

#

I don't run Ascendant Blaze on my Trauma but that actually sounds like a much better idea

#

I was running Quickening

spice veldt
#

there's no difference between 2 and 3 because 2 * 3 = 9

olive ember
#

….

#

Pls stop

#

Quicken

spice veldt
#

and 3 * 2 = 4

kind wing
#

Just because you said that, I'm gonna keep Quickening

#

I ain't here to impress nobody

magic burrow

All according to cake (editors note: cake means keikaku (translator's note: keikaku is japanese for plan))

olive ember

Ya know I’m so scatter brained I rly thought 2* 3 = 9 for like 10 seconds

blazing oak
#

Mind in motion thumbsup_ogryn

olive ember
#

How am I a CS major

kind wing
#

You can't be a CS Major if not scatterbrained

#

Also not surprised you're a CS Major for some reason but that's unrelated

olive ember
#

Wats the reason kek

vestal rose
#

yo fuck CS tho

olive ember
#

I’m also an Econ major technically

#

Kek

vestal rose
#

never shoulda learned to code

olive ember
#

Double major baby

#

I hate my life

vestal rose
#

fuck that shit

kind wing
#

Everyone who does CS Major for college basically has nothing better to do with their time xd

olive ember
#

I mean

#

Tru

kind wing
#

I know too many socially dead CS Majors

olive ember
#

Well not tru

#

I should be working on a coding assignment but

#

I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing

It's really sad, family probably told them that CS is the only way to make money

vestal rose
olive ember

Tmrw

magic burrow

tfw running Quickening Psyker and the Ogryn praises Shouty, but he's talking about the Zealot and not about you

vestal rose

u got like 24 hours homie its chill,do it later

olive ember
#

Lol true

olive ember
#

That’s doctor or lawyer

kind wing
#

I blame my recency bias

vestal rose
kind wing
#

I mean of course

#

But it's moreso them being egged into doing it

#

Probably happier doing something else that isn't... that

olive ember
#

Eh I chose CS cuz I have literally zero motivation

vestal rose
#

huh
most of em seemed like they wanted to be there in my experience but yeah
who knows

kind wing
#

Yeah that's very fair

olive ember
#

And then I was like “hey I play games sure let’s do CS”

kind wing
#

Some do like being there and are just working on putting up with it

olive ember
#

And tada I’m a CS major

kind wing
#

That's really life

vestal rose
#

(A lotta CS majors and stuff I knew did not get jobs writing code cause they did not try at all, ever lmao)

#

(but maybe that's just people in every course)

olive ember
#

Idk I’m suffering in CS meanwhile in my Econ classes I legit barely study and get atleast 80’s so

#

Maybe I should’ve just taken the easy way out

kind wing
#

I meaaaaaan you just find the code off'a Google and paste it and it works out

#

Apparently xd

olive ember
vestal rose
#

I don't mean assignments or whatever, but your own lil projects
fucking around, taht kinda deal

olive ember
#

But sunk cost fallacy half my college is over already

kind wing
#

I'm actually thinking of making the big jump and dropping out myself

#

I see no gain

#

At least CS Majors have prospects

olive ember
#

Eh not rly tbh, but meh

kind wing
#

I'm actually a fuckin' art major

#

:^)

olive ember
#

I’m not gonna comment

kind wing
#

Perfect for guaranteeing a job at Subway

#

Praying for me won't help, even the Emperor has abandoned me

vestal rose
#

i truly hate how education is just "a path to a job" ;-;

kind wing
#

Modern education is now just mostly gaslighting people into higher education so they can get more money

#

Tuition increases every year

olive ember
#

I mean high school is where you are supposed to find your interests

#

Too bad nothing interested me

kind wing
#

Only thing that interested me was art and video games

olive ember
#

But eh atleast CS I feel like I’m actually doing something whenever I get an assignment done

kind wing
#

I already tried my hand at the computer stuff, ain't my cup of tea

#

I however do like drawing

olive ember
#

Like when I get a program to properly word wrap text it’s like “hey I did something”

kind wing
#

Rewarding catnod

olive ember
#

Unlike Econ where it’s just “yeah I memorized this term and I have a basic understanding of high school math”

kind wing
#

That could fix Microsoft Word being a dumbo with text wrapping xd

olive ember
#

It is funny as a CS major dipping into Econ major

late yew
olive ember
#

Cuz most people in CS got a grasp on math n shit

#

Apparently not in Econ major

scarlet timber
#

what is

#

trauma staff

#

good at?

olive ember
#

CC with some horde clear

#

It knocks everything besides mutants

scarlet timber
#

i see

kind wing
#

Really good at opening Bulwarks

#

Sometimes blows up Crushers too

#

Kind of funny when I see Crushers flop around after a burst

scarlet timber
#

should i pair it with deimos or illisi?

vestal rose
#

its real good at turning a compact horde into a spread out horde

kind wing
#

I'd say Illisi

#

Deimos is too single-target

scarlet timber
#

i thought its good at horde clear?

kind wing
#

Yeah unfortunately improper Trauma handling makes a horde more annoying to handle

olive ember
#

It’s decent but you gotta know how

vestal rose
scarlet timber
#

what build do i go with it?

#

like perks and blessings

vestal rose
#

wow i can't type

scarlet timber
#

im a ogryn main

#

btw

#

just had my psker leveled to 30

kind wing
#

For Blessings, I think only good ones for Trauma is definitely Warp Flurry and... something else

#

Was it just the Crit Chance at high Peril?

late yew
#

Are 80% of players psykers now?

#

All i see when i search for game

kind wing
#

I do 311211 but you should probably do 311212 instead

#

Obviously that's specc'ing into high damage though

#

Maybe 321212 might be better...

scarlet timber
#

rending?

kind wing
#

Eh doubt Rending is needed

olive ember
#

Nah warp unleashed is pretty much BiS now

scarlet timber
#

maybe?

late yew
kind wing
#

Ascendant Blaze DoT helps

olive ember
#

No reason to run resist with how fast you quell

kind wing
#

Although with DoT nerfs it might not be too worth running like before

olive ember
#

Not worth on trauma

kind wing
#

You could also just run Kinetic Barrage to pair with Trauma Staff, quickly dispatch Elites

olive ember
#

Or any other build that isn’t purge

#

Because funny dot nerfs

autumn smelt
#

dude vet chat is crazy

olive ember
#

Enlighten me?

#

Psword doomers?

kind wing
#

PSWord Doomers

#

Just from a quick glance

olive ember
#

Makes sense

#

I mean is see lazorr in vet chat which

#

Idk if that bodes well kek

kind wing
#

I don't like elitists

#

But not like he doesn't have valid points

olive ember
#

Eh most his points are valid

#

Except surge staff

#

Screw him surge staff best staff

kind wing
#

I advocate running anything you want as long as you know how to handle yourself during a tense situation and aren't being completely braindead

#

Like that Psyker with Purg Staff build blowing himself up 5+ times in a single run

#

In a row

#

While having only three Wounds

#

And then calling us idiots at the end

olive ember
#

That’s me alright

#

Only wounds

#

Tactical explosions

#

Not purge staff tho

#

Trauma to blow up faster

kind wing
#

I don't even know how you can get yourself to blow up like that with Purg Staff

olive ember
#

If you charge at 100 I guess

vestal rose

low resist force sword
specialspecialspecialspecialboom

autumn smelt
# olive ember Psword doomers?

its either the end of the world and they absolutely destroyed the only viable thing on the class
or it needs to be nerfed further because it makes the game too easy on damnation even if youre blind deaf and quadriplegic

blazing oak
olive ember
olive ember
#

XD

kind wing
#

LOL

spice veldt
#

I also hate surge for that reason

kind wing
#

Cope

spice veldt
#

better to just DPS down the mutant in melee

kind wing
#

It's like getting blue-balled

#

But meh

blazing oak
#

Okay that reminds me of something

kind wing
#

It's funny when it happens

#

xd

olive ember
#

I tell him to simply hold W

vestal rose
#

I've had one situation where a surge staff was helpful in the last hundred hours

autumn smelt
#

tho the sword does feel bad now bc of how weak it is uncharged, but its probably still best in slot

tho im more sad about the dot nerf not even 2 weeks after i get a banger purg staff

blazing oak
#

I swear the second I start stunning the bulwark, my teammates stop attacking it and stand around

vestal rose
#

and what wouda been more helpful was a brain burst or a force sword lol

spice veldt
#

though that surge issue is more of a player issue than a weapon issue

#

mfers not switching to their melee

leaden thunder
#

finally got warp flurry 4 for my void

blazing oak
kind wing
#

Now you can fire more orbs per second

olive ember
leaden thunder
#

ops

#

orbs per second

#

thumbsup_ogryn most important quantifier for the void

spice veldt
#

the true metric by which weapons should be judgef by

vestal rose
spice veldt
#

bullets aren't orbs, so guns have 0 OPS

shadow quail
spice veldt
#

the uncharged damage is already very good

olive ember
#

Surge is amazing on hi 5 or up

vestal rose
#

I just don't value surge

spice veldt
#

by extension of it having slaughterer

olive ember
#

P good on Damnation

#

Below that it’s like

#

What’s the point

blazing oak
vestal rose
#

I do not want a surge on hi 5 :C

#

like I get that it's fun, and I've never complained to anyone in game
i just don't see value in it almost ever

blazing oak
#

It’s an enabler weapon, not a do it yourself weapon

vestal rose
#

use it if it makes you happy

autumn smelt
vale nacelle
# olive ember What’s the point

Dunno, being able to hit entire groups of gunners behind walls/cover, in addition to its other functions/benefits, sells it for me.

spice veldt
#

the power swords also have their push attacks with unusually high single-target damaage

shadow quail
autumn smelt
leaden thunder
#

the single target weapon does good single target

spice veldt
#

though deimos is a single-target weapon by design and the power sword is a hordeclear

blazing oak
#

Taking people out of cover is nice, but I personally use surge because I enjoy helping my team by making it easier for them

spice veldt
#

the power sword also has 7.5 cleave on its heavies and access to slaughterer

leaden thunder
#

^

#

and if you really want to

#

it can get bm

spice veldt
#

worse minimum cleave damage than illisi heavies, but it's not like they nerfed the damage of the special

olive ember
#

Psword is unusable now

#

Haven’t you heard

kind wing
#

Yeah bro

#

You NEED Power Cycler IV

autumn smelt
#

dismantle all your power swords now

kind wing
#

Barter them away

#

Dump them all

autumn smelt
#

do it they nerfed it once you have to

kind wing
#

Useless

spice veldt
#

mfs when the special is actually special and not something to be used all the time

kind wing
#

xd

spice veldt
#

though it's still the best thing to use when you have the space to get it off

olive ember
#

I will concede that the psword without the special hits like a wet noodle

#

But eh

autumn smelt
kind wing
#

At least it isn't like the poor Devil's Claw Sword

#

God have mercy on its poor soul

spice veldt
#

worse than the illisi because it doesn't have as high as a weakspot multiplier, but still pretty decent

kind wing
#

Because we have none

olive ember
#

One day it might get buffed

#

Idk how they gonna buff a global weapon tho

shadow quail
#

still top tier with cycler

spice veldt
#

idk just buff the base damage or minimum cleave damage

olive ember
#

Considering the claw is competing with the antax and psword on vet, hsword on zealot, and illisi on psyker

#

They’d have to like make it op to compete

autumn smelt
#

meaning im unlikely to have the time in the first place, so even if i do get it off, ill be back to tickling them due to only 1 swing cuz fuck melk fucking bitch wont give me the blessings i want

spice veldt
#

it doesn't necessarily have to compete

#

but it does need to be better

olive ember
#

Fair

spice veldt
#

because it is quite worse than our current class weapons by a marrrgin

leaden thunder
#

it needs like

#

50% more damage and cleave

#

and it'd be fine

olive ember
#

But what about

#

The eviscerator

kind wing
#

Devil's Claw's parry should also get some sort of boost

spice veldt
#

i'm not a zealot so they can go screw themselves

kind wing
#

Poor thing barely gets any use

olive ember
#

Look at the flamer nerfs

spice veldt
#

they can be screwed even harder though

#

I shall not rest until the zealot population is minced to zero

#

well flamer's still fine innit

#

just kills flak enemies a little slower with a little more emphasis on ammo economy

#

the burn ticks aren't going to go anywhere as long as you maintain them with the occasional LMB

olive ember
#

That’s what peeve’s meant the most tho lmao

#

The dot nerfs were targeted at flamers

autumn smelt
# kind wing Poor thing barely gets any use

when leveling my pskyer i was using the devils claw and i though "what if you can parry captain attacks??"
i stopped wondering as my teammate ran over to pick me up off the ground

olive ember
#

But it barely affects em

#

Meanwhile it screws psykers hard

spice veldt
#

i mean, psykers aren't screwed that hard either

autumn smelt
spice veldt
#

just swap to another weapon and let the dot do its job on elites

olive ember
#

.> but my damage

spice veldt
#

no

#

you shall have none of it

olive ember
#

Not enough for AB to kill scab bruisers and stalkers last I checked

#

Not without warp unleashed atleast

spice veldt
#

though enough to weaken them to one-shot range

olive ember
#

And the damage against gunners are just pitiful cuz apparently dreg gunners count as scab armored

spice veldt
#

dodge-slide into their dms and regen toughness by one-shotting them with melee

#

yeah, dreg gunners/shotgunners have a base armour type of flak

olive ember
#

It’s dumb smh

spice veldt
#

psykers have no particular penalty for dodge-sliding because the blaze force swords have infinite dodges

olive ember
#

Also if they have base armor flak

#

Why does surge suck on em

#

.>

spice veldt
#

sssssslurp

#

no idea; it should still be pretty good against them I assume

#

prob just because of their 900/1100 hp

olive ember
#

sigh

spice veldt
#

whack them with melee

#

whack whack whack

olive ember
#

Also nerfs don’t affect me kek

#

I run purge as like my back up back up build

kind wing
#

Once you get used to running Power Maul on Zealot and not killing everything outright

olive ember
#

After pistol and surge staff kek

kind wing
#

Everything else feels nice

spice veldt
#

same; I thought they nerfed the illisi with the "special stops when hitting an elite", but I think the person writing the patch notes got it confused

olive ember
#

I run the obscures FS so yeah

olive ember
spice veldt
#

I'm pretty sure they just fixed the block-cancel bug on illisi/power swords

kind wing
#

I run Obscurus with Voidstrike actually

#

I think it's a nice pairing personally

olive ember
#

Only weapon which got affected is ironhelm

kind wing
#

Love Ironhelm

olive ember
#

Cuz it has an actual cleave value

spice veldt
#

because I can still hit two ragers with illisi

#

OH

kind wing
#

Uniron(helm)ically

spice veldt
#

so it was just for the ironhelm basically or other sticky special weapons

gilded viper
#

I’m pretty sure eviscerator as well

kind wing
#

Evis and Ironhelm

#

Except Evis needed more than that

olive ember
#

Basically since psword and illisi empowered get like bullshit cleave

kind wing
#

Ironhelm stun duration got reduced too so that's even nicer

leaden thunder
#

tbh

#

I am still conviced

gilded viper
#

Sure, but it does still has the ability to cleave through elites

leaden thunder
#

that thrust isn't the way to go on it

olive ember
#

and the other Fs and hammer don’t have cleave

leaden thunder
#

but I won't say that in zealot chat

olive ember
#

Oh the eviscerator no longer has jank special either?

#

Cool

spice veldt
olive ember
#

Never touching it kek

autumn smelt
#

sticky melees now actually stop and rip into elites now

kind wing
olive ember
#

What would you take instead?

leaden thunder
#

I think

olive ember
#

Headtaker?

leaden thunder
#

skullcrusher

#

might be better

kind wing
#

Oh Skullcrusher?

olive ember
#

What does skull crusher do?

leaden thunder
#

i think it stacks to what 8 times?

#

so 40% more damage
