yeah I usually roll with sniper for normal play but if there's hi int grims then I roll grims on it for a few games.

feral verge
#

only 30k away

hollow current
#

If I could put on all my curios it'd be sprint efficiency, Mutant res and Sniper res tho.

feral verge
#

from having more overkill dmg than regular dmg

#

(using illisi sword)

fresh steeple
hollow current
#

It's a convenience thing lol

feral verge
#

i have sprint eff on

#

2x

#

its nice

#

along with stam regen

#

and a stam curio

#

i can pretty much run everywhere

#

and have enough stam to push, or block if needed

#

the illisi im currently using has +1 stam locked

fresh steeple
#

this sounds like a "people without KD" strategy

feral verge
#

yee

#

i aint running it

#

cuz i got kinetic shield

#

worth it with a high peril build

spice veldt
#

Sprint eff is nice for running ahead of my team to steal kills

#

i have zero trust in my teammates to not aggro enemies ridiculously early and make them split up

feral verge
#

if they let us unlock blessings/perks at somepoint...

#

this thing would be perfect

#

im keeping maniac on there

#

but i wonder if flak would put me over a breakpoint

#

for bucket heads

#

for lights

orchid shadow
#

How much Diamantine would you think would be fair to unlock a blessing or perk?

feral verge
#

47k

wintry plover
#

I'm in the same boat. Diamantine to unlock when?

idle bay
orchid shadow
#

If I'm trying to get my feet wet in Damnation games, what maps should I go for? I've already done a Magistri Assassination (which I have no recollection doing, but hey, it has the skulls on the mission select screen). I'm thinking Enclaveum Baross or Consignment yard would be the next in difficulty?

feral verge
#

so i reccomend staying away from those

#

especially relay station because it's bugged

#

it doesnt give the mats that it should

naive junco
#

nothing beats hab dreyko intel or whatever with pugs

feral verge
#

i had a vet lowkey steal defeat from victory

naive junco
#

ppl just killing trash instead of doing the scans

feral verge
#

the vet had a medpack that they didnt drop

#

at the very end of relayt station

#

when you run thru that tunnel to the escape elevator

#

they did eventually drop it, or someone did when i told them

#

but it was too late

naive junco
#

if he dont need it, the team dont get it. - vets

feral verge
#

he said "BRUH I WHENT DOWN" after i said this

#

waht he doesnt know is

#

drop the medpack before you go down

#

no excuse imo, unless he just completely forgot he had it

#

it was at the end of the map, in a hallway full of enemies

#

might as well plop it down

fallow dawn
#

i think this build is really fun can 1 shot brainburst ragers on 5 charges and high peril

feral verge
#

noice

#

i run something similar

orchid shadow
fresh steeple
#

Hab Dreyko is obscene in all regards

wintry plover
#

I'm torn on feats with trauma,. On one hand the extra damage from warp unleashed is nice, but I really like the extra staff uses I get with rank 4 flurry + tranquility.

fresh steeple
#

I really like Relay Station, actually. But I've stopped running it due to the mat bug

clear heath
#

i hate hab dreyko just because it kills my fps

wintry plover
spice veldt
#

if you want to build around trauma, inner tranq. If you want to build around your melee, WU

clear heath
#

There have been 3 occassions where i've seen 2 monstrosities spawn at the same time
All 3 of those times were at hab dreyko
This is one of my least played maps

#

truly a cursed map

fresh steeple
#

Hab Dreyko has the absolute worst mid-game gauntlet, the absolute worst end-game gauntlet, the absolute worst escape route, several "bomb ledges," and it's extremely dark to boot

spice veldt
#

besides the boss spawns, Hab Dreyko is pretty easy

#

esp as psykers

orchid shadow
clear heath
#

i also just find auspex scans annoying

spice veldt
#

can just solo the investigations

clear heath
#

just wanna kill things

spice veldt
#

maybe if they bumped up the spawns

fresh steeple
#

it's fine with a premade, but "scan five objects" maps are the bane of pug groups that try to save 5 seconds by splitting up like they're in a Scooby Doo episode

spice veldt
#

I never really get that many spawns on Hab dreyko

feral verge
spice veldt
#

and specialists are easy enough because of how cqc the map is

cold geode
#

brunt is trying to tempt me back to antax

clear heath
#

homestly i would hate hab dreyko less if it didn't remove 1/3 of my fps

#

actually just annoying to play

feral verge
#

just buy more fps from the store???

desert quartz
#

so what's the consensus on the blazing spirit blessing

feral verge
#

such a non issue

feral verge
clear heath
#

sorry can't afford more fps

feral verge
#

especially on voidstrike

desert quartz
#

considering changing it, seems rather useless

feral verge
#

but fire is funny, so

fresh steeple
feral verge
#

there's that

fresh steeple
#

much worse now that they stealth-nerfed it alongside Flamer

cold geode
desert quartz
#

oh, i have it on a force sword

feral verge
desert quartz
#

i might switch it for slaughterer IV or bloodthirst IV

feral verge
#

omg

#

definitely swap it for slaughterer iv

#

madman

desert quartz
#

ill keep deflector though since i lean on it pretty heavily when cornered

fresh steeple
#

sorta alright on force sword if you pair it with the Wildfire talent, but force swords already easily clear hordes, and Wildfire is the worst of the three level 25 talents

#

Slaughterer is just going to give you much better and more consistent horde clear potential

clear heath
desert quartz
#

alright, so slaughterer's generally better than bloodthirsty. gotcha

fresh steeple
#

definitely

desert quartz
#

i would pair them together, but like i said, deflector to me is an essential blessing so i dont wanna ditch that one

fresh steeple
#

Bloodthirsty is neat on Illisi, but I think most people would say Slaughterer does the job better

feral verge
#

its 1000% better

fresh steeple
#

you could run both, but the second I think should either be Unstable Power or Deflector

desert quartz
#

still trying to get an unstable power tier 4 blessing

#

only see tier 2s

#

lately

orchid shadow
# spice veldt besides the boss spawns, Hab Dreyko is pretty easy

Really? I find that final room for scanning a nightmare as Surge. Open area, mobs coming in from everywhere, trying to do the objectives. It either seems to go semi-smoothly or a whirlwind of wtf moments. Nothing inbetween, same for that Silo mission. I dread queueing into those on Heresy

fresh steeple
#

Silo is better simply because the specific area you need to go do is well-defined

#

so it incentivizes coherence at least

#

Dreyko and the mid-part of whatever that Espionage mission is called are both asinine with the "run in five separate directions" prompt. Unless the team has a well-defined anchor player or is otherwise coordinating in voice chat, they're liable to just run in opposite directions and all die

naive junco
#

some people still dont know how to scan is the worst part..

fresh steeple
#

Surge Perks: Crit Chance or Flak Armored?

#

I feel like Surge is one of the few weapons where Crit is actually valuable, but Flak is big power, so...

orchid shadow
regal iris
#

is warp resistance the dump stat for deimos blaze force sword?

fresh steeple
#

yup

feral verge
#

its actually good to have low warp resistance

#

for high peril builds

regal iris
#

excellent, thanks siblings

feral verge
#

which allow for the most damage, and highest defense

#

np

celest hedge
#

i'm starting to dig wildfire. the soul blaze spreading can work nice in certain parts of maps where enemies have to climb up to reach you, I was doing that in the map where you had to lower the bridge and the fire spreading was killing the ones before they even hopped up out of their spawn, plus it also lets you switch to melee after spraying a horde so you still get the dot, was nice when I couldn't afford to charge or almost overheated

feral verge
#

Wildfire is very, very meh

#

It only stacks 4x

#

Which is very, very low

#

Warp battery + ascendant blaze is much, much, much more effective

#

From pygex, the guy behind the athenaeum psyker guide: PSA: Wildfire while sounding cool is actually very shit dps due to the hidden 4 stack max limit and the 2 stack treshold.

That is Wildfire cannot target enemies that have 5 or more stacks regardless of the stacks on the original target. In addition, 1 stack does not spread, you need a minimum of 2.

What this causes in practice is that you only get Wildfire effect when people die on the edges of the Soulblazed mob and it diminishes very quickly, not to talk about the abysmal damage 1 or 2 stacks do.

celest hedge
#

it's only 4 stacks per times it triggered but it adds up decently when burning through 20 poxwalkers, they're squishy enough for it to be decent when paired with melee, and the hordes are big enough that there's usually something to hop to

cold geode
snow panther
#

if we can infinitely reroll perks for free, why cant we just freaking pick the one we are looking for

fresh steeple
#

I was still getting crashes every few missions with a frankly absurdly cutting edge computer

#

and then I disabled RT two weeks ago and haven't had a single crash since

halcyon creek
#

Raymond L. Tracing! My nemesis 💪🏻

cold geode
#

i still crash occasionally

fresh steeple
#

say it ain't so, Melk. An actually good Curio?

feral verge
#

nice

fresh steeple
#

I'm tempted to get it

#

and try out this "two wounds" nonsense y'all are always advocating for 😉

copper torrent
#

Just believe in yourself. And if you die, blame everyone else, obvs.

cold geode
#

melk does this when he knows i dont have the cash

#

i just want it for the transfer peril blessing >.<

fresh steeple
cold geode
#

oh shit thats right

#

i forgot its sunday

fresh steeple
#

that's a Voidstrike sort of thing

plush glacier
#

agreed

spice veldt
#

hopium for the other trauma marks

plush glacier
#

only works on primaryu

fresh steeple
#

see you in 2026

#

so... my Psyker won't roll over their contracts, and it's bothering me

#

There we go. How odd. I needed to close the game and reload for them to populate.

tired estuary
#

Melk was too shy to do it while you were looking

shadow onyx
prisma perch
#

I don’t know which staff to use

feral verge
#

how reduntant is this

#

im trying this on my melee-surge build

#

for potentially insane toughness regen

#

by spamming ult

cloud sequoia
#

Kill, stun, burn?

fresh steeple
#

welp, now 0 for 3 when I swapped out a wound curio

#

two cursed garbage groups

#

and one where we went down twice in the last bit, and the Ogryn wouldn't listen to me either time when I told him I could block the gunners with KD

#

he would just res one person and then move away

weary idol
#

how exactly does unstable power work

#

becaus the description makes it sound pretty worthless

leaden thunder
#

20% power at like 80% peril

weary idol
#

that's good right?

tepid sinew
#

Obviously swapping out Stamina and Transfer peril but what for on a trauma staff?

leaden thunder
#

it's not like sluaghterer broken good

#

but it's very solid

agile garden
#

Trying to theorycraft BIS Voidstrike.

  • Critical Peril + Surge
    Or
  • Warp nexus + headshots
    Or
  • headshots + surge
leaden thunder
#

none of the above

#

flurry + headshot

magic burrow
#

transfer peril and flurry is best for sustain. You want to be able to shoot as many fireballs as fast as possible before having to quell.

cloud sequoia
spice veldt
cloud sequoia
#

you got the bad blessing , that trauma wont work thumbsup_ogryn

#

funny autopistol psyker still works?

leaden thunder
#

yes

cloud sequoia
#

KEKW_ogryn wait do blaze away affect DoT too?

leaden thunder
#

yes

#

as does pinning

cloud sequoia
#

will buy later

magic burrow
#

thank you melk, very cool

feral verge
#

psykinetic aura isn't as good for this build as i thought

#

this is better

#

this is my wannabe zealot melee build

#

quicken is for insta generating toughness, should your toughness reach zero

#

it only takes 7 seconds for cooldown

#

with 6 stacks from warp battery

cyan notch
#

yea free charges from aura seems to be an ez pick

dry sun
#

Witch bros

#

Have a bone to pick

#

Why, as a plasma gun main, do the psykers get an objectively better plasma gun in the form of voidstrike staff

cyan notch
#

void cant shoot through walls

spice veldt
#

void does less than half the damage I think?

cyan notch
#

void cant 1 shot crushers

spice veldt
#

the only thing that the void has going for it is that it has 6 cleave when fully charged and is free

dry sun
#

Yeah but I can shoot more voids before 100% and its unlimited

true shadow
#

the only things that void have going for it are the knockdown blast radius, 6 cleave, and no ammo/reload time

#

i can't instantly kill crushers with it, or maulers most of the time for that matter

spice veldt
#

of all the staffs to complain about

dry sun
#

I do miss the wall penetration

spice veldt
#

voidstrike would be the last one that I would ever complain about

true shadow
#

^

spice veldt
#

have you actually used a voidstrike?

true shadow
#

voidstrike is the arguably weakest staff right now

spice veldt
#

like actually go and measure its DPS

true shadow
#

compared to where it was a few patches ago

#

especially compared to trauma right now

spice veldt
#

go into the meatgrinder and go dink down a crusher with it

dry sun
#

Trauma might be the one I mean

#

The one that does the bubbles

true shadow
#

use the creature spawner mod and spawn yourself a damnation-horde worth of enemies including the elite types

dry sun
#

And hits through multiple enemies

spice veldt
#

trauma is the ground explosion, and voidstrike shoots out a ball

true shadow
#

voidstrike is the plasma gun-alike that shoots a charged ball

dry sun
#

Voidstrike it is then

true shadow
#

trauma is the circle of death

#

purgatus is flamethrower

#

surge is palpatine

#

but yeah, of all the staffs/staves, the voidstrike is definitely not one to complain about or even consider better than any other option

#

least of all the plasma gun

#

piercing walls, instantly killing crushers and other instant-fuck-you enemies... etc etc

#

those are inherently better than this

dry sun
#

Gimme the staff on my vet

#

Gimme that shit

cold geode
#

or you know.... just level a psyker

dry sun
#

My psyker just hit 30

#

After 200 hours of zealot and vet only

#

Ogryn never ever

feral verge
#

illisi nerf is happening

primal plume
#

warp fuckery

cold geode
feral verge
#

ogryn feels so slow

cold geode
#

well it i slow, but fun

feral verge
#

ik its got the same movement speed as the other classes

#

but damn it do be feeling slow

#

i made the shortest ogryn too

#

the shorter you are, the faster you feel

cyan notch
#

i dont think illisi will get a big nerf

#

its the same horde mulcher as ps bb hs

spice veldt
#

but with much better mobility

#

i can see a nerf to its dodge distance or some minor tweaks to the cleave distribution

primal plume
#

is there steam because the ship is really cold or is that piece of equipment really cold?

dry sun
#

Ogryn feels like a shittier zealot. I dont care what ogryn mains say

cyan notch
#

its dodge distance is already pretty mid

cloud sequoia
pale basalt
#

You fail to grasp the fact that Ogryn is a support class

spice veldt
#

but not terrible

feral verge
#

need psyker fashion advice

#

black eyes y/n

spice veldt
#

it's mid but still good enough for most purposes

dry sun
#

Brothers im sorry for the shit I am stirring. Ive hit the booze hard tonight

pale basalt
#

lol

spice veldt
#

and keep in mind that we can spam dodges like zealots, but we don't have a dodge limit on force swords

magic burrow
#

I like the voidstrike. It's a nice allround weapon

dry sun
#

But but buuut while im wilding

cloud sequoia
spice veldt
#

i think it's just the voidstrike looking very flashy

pale basalt
dry sun
#

Why would I want a shield ogryn when I could just be a deflector psyker and cover my bros with my psyker sword block instead

pale basalt
#

you just have to be able to shoot straight

magic burrow
#

plasmagun beats voidstrike in the sound department though

feral verge
#

unlike shieldgryn

dry sun
#

Yeah mang

spice veldt
#

having actually nonzero minimum cleave damage

pale basalt
#

Shield ogryn and deflector psykers are crutches for bad gameplay

#

I'

dry sun
#

I was playing my psyker since hes 30 now and I saved my bros so many times today by taking the shots for them with my sword block

#

Felt useful

cloud sequoia
#

KEKW_ogryn shield ogryn? wait you talking malice difficulty ?

dry sun
#

Not 2 big

feral verge
dry sun
#

2many in damnation

pale basalt
#

I groan everytime 😄

dry sun
#

Take them away

cloud sequoia
spice veldt
#

i saw them much more frequently early in the game's lifespan

feral verge
#

here's one i saw earlier today

#

level 18

spice veldt
#

now I see them here and there

cloud sequoia
#

"okay" as in they didnt die alot

feral verge
#

damnation, low int doggy mode

dry sun
#

My psyker isnt damnation ready yet tho. My zelly and vet tho? Kinda ohdee

feral verge
#

i left

spice veldt
#

but the games take longer to complete

pale basalt
#

okay as in they don't bring the deeps needed 😢

spice veldt
#

like straight up, having teammates who know how to hold W and deal decent damage makes games way faster

cloud sequoia
#

KEKW_ogryn just stack health on psyker, no need good staff just BB all the way

spice veldt
#

like making a refinery delta hishock from 50 minutes to 30 minutes faster

feral verge
#

sometimes, those slow games feel cool

#

imo

#

not all the time

spice veldt
#

I hate slow games all the time

feral verge
#

can we ban this guy

#

differing opinion

#

dont like it

spice veldt
#

i'll eat your breakfast and make you hungry for a few hours

pale basalt
#

reeee

feral verge
#

i think i call for an arcotash ban atleast once a day

spice veldt
#

though I'm more on the extreme side of things since the combat is the main reason I like this game

feral verge
#

combat my fav too

#

i am merely here to kill

#

sometimes those slower games really allow oyu to rack up the kill/dmg count

#

that's what i like

spice veldt
#

if there was an arena mode, I would play that all the time

cyan notch
#

im here to get my god roll weapons

pale basalt
spice veldt
#

probably

pale basalt
#

and also those procedural missions, that would be nice

spice veldt
#

i don't expect it to be an easy thing to do; though some basic arena mode would be nice for the time being

feral verge
#

i am worried about low peril builds when red items come out

#

that will mean these swords wont generate any peril

cyan notch
#

just play psykanium with invisibility off and ai respawn on

feral verge
#

cuz all stats (like warp resist) will shoot to 100%

cyan notch
#

infinite content thank me later

spice veldt
#

i already do that a bit

#

too bad the psykanium's map doesn't have much in the way of interest

pale basalt
#

Maybe we can get a high peril sword? I miss them nerfing our push back in beta, you could generate some nice peril and do a bigger push with FS, would like a variant with that

cyan notch
#

what would that do

#

u can just do 2 pushes for a bigger push

#

or push attack for an even bigger one

spice veldt
#

most sane quietude users

pale basalt
#

It had a much wider arc if I remember

feral verge
#

its more than quietitude

#

its warp unleashed, kinetic shield, unstable power, warp nexus

#

NEED my high peril

#

drug

spice veldt
#

smh

#

having the sustain to spam illisi specials continuously is much more important

feral verge
#

stay: mad. bad. in malice.

cyan notch
cyan notch
#

if anything theyll only let u crank 1 to 100

feral verge
#

in hordes, battle meditation usually procs once or twice per swing

dry sun
#

What do you think the recorded for the brain burst effect? A melon?

feral verge
#

and if it doesnt, in like 2 seconds peril drops and i can use special

spice veldt
#

even with my 75% warp res slaught + unstable illisi, I can't do it continuously reliably

#

I mean being able to chain the specials for a long long time and annihilate melee elites

#

without needing to kite or take a single break

#

no downtime

#

constantly holding W into melee elites

feral verge
#

but i usually 1 shot elites anyway

#

only ogryns and muties survive

#

and maulers

#

shock troop gauntlet is back it seems

magic burrow
#

games that go unexpectedly and hilariously wrong are the best. I was doing a hi intensity lights out malice run the other day, and I think we had the most braindead vet of all time in there. Dude attacked and got killed by a daemonhost like three times. I really wonder what he was thinking.

cyan notch
#

it says pox hound on ur map

cold geode
#

which should i do? cant decide, usually run the one with gunner resists

feral verge
#

stamina regen is yummy

#

lets you spam slide more

#

i'd pick left

spice veldt
#

left

#

gunners and reapers are easily stunned

#

and you can usually avoid getting blasted by them

#

unless you only see red and hold W into ranged enemies

cold geode
#

hehe

feral verge
#

dead game

grizzled jasper
#

looks like a normal t5 quickjoin

snow coral
#

how do some people run so much faster, is that the sprint efficiency perk that's on some curious?

snow coral
#

sometimes, but i've seen some that don't slide and just GO

pseudo kernel
#

Just got it from a Damnnation difficulty mission, rerolled a perk. Any good?

fresh steeple
#

most obviously, anyone using a Combat Knife will run substantially faster than other weapons

fresh steeple
#

if you want to use it anyway, Unstable Power or Deflection will be better than Riposte

feral verge
#

but slaughterer 4 is amazing

#

rip that off

fresh steeple
#

^

pseudo kernel
#

Sad!

#

knew that slaughterer was good though

spice veldt
#

ogryns run quite fast with the cleaver, for example

#

GENTLEMEN

BEHOLD

#

IT IS COMPLETE

#

only 20% flak dmg?

#

shit roll

#

time to restart

#

get good

#

stay in malice bozo

hollow spindle
#

😦

feral verge
#

you know how much damage you're missing out on

#

that 5%?

#

i wouldnt even take that into sedition low intensity

hollow spindle
#

I...I mean I...

#

I'll do better sir

feral verge
#

i wouldnt even use that in the prologue

hollow spindle
#

I promise

feral verge
#

i am back onto my horde plasteel mode

#

only blessing i am missing is slaughterer 4

#

but im just going to wait for melk, or empra's gift

olive ember
#

@feral verge doesn't even use the voidstrike

#

smh smh hes still coping with his purge staff

feral verge
#

@olive ember

olive ember
#

"they only nerfed flak dmg, its still good"

feral verge
#

i used voidstrike for like 2 months

olive ember
#

and then you turned your back on it

#

smh smh

#

weapon betrayer

cold geode
#

hi shock troop gauntlet prologue

feral verge
#

and now i am using surge, believe it or not

#

this is my melee psyker zealot wannabe build

#

i use surge staff like infinite, worse zealot nade

#

and mulch hordes with sword

#

all my games are looking like this with it

#

illisi nerf soon

cold geode
#

was just in a 5, and the vet was seriously using a rashad

cyan notch
#

these numbers arent that big a deal

#

same with bb ps hs

feral verge
#

i just think its funny to see a surge psyker top scoreboard

#

with dmg

#

and the overkill dmg

#

but that game i had normal overkill dmg

idle bay
feral verge
#

there are some where my overkill is almost as high as my reg dmg

ionic frost
#

When I run surge as the only psyker (or with another surge) it feels kinda like meh at times...but Surge + Purg psyker synergize with each other for ^

#

I do like two traumas tho... =)

spice veldt
#

if you have toughness and don't have focused channeling, it turns out that you'll only get staggered whenever you're charging a cast while sprinting

#

f focused channeling

feral verge
#

I don't mind running surge with another surge psyker because I am in melee 80% of the time

#

So another surge psyker just lets me be in melee 95% of the time

#

Because most surge psykers use their staff a little too much

olive ember
#

Focused channeling is useless like I always said?

#

damn

#

oh its 12

#

yay its officially monday again

spice veldt
#

shame that you didn't give the exact reason as to why it was useless

#

it was still useful while I didn't know about this

#

shame that I'll have to be more careful about sprinting

olive ember
#

I mean

#

I thought you were talking about whenever your armor broke

#

and that focused channeling was good for that

spice veldt
#

that too, but now I stack toughness

olive ember
#

I didn't realize you were trying to fucking charge it while sprinting

spice veldt
#

what's wrong with that

olive ember
#

sprinting

spice veldt
#

sprint-sliding is one of the faster ways to get into enemies

olive ember
#

breh

#

just use F lol

spice veldt
#

no

#

I need my F for when loner specialists spawns occur

#

and the angle of psyker's ult is not the best

#

trappers are particularly annoying since they take two pushes to get staggered, and my dodges can sometimes get blocked or interrupted by melees that I'm not paying attention to

#

dogs are fine as long as I don't get greedy for one-shotting them

feral verge
#

Why you push them

spice veldt
#

when they're coming around a corner and they're right in front of me

cloud sequoia
#

dodge?

feral verge
#

I've never tried pushing a trapper

#

I special melee them

cloud sequoia
#

dont push trapper

spice veldt
#

it's unreliable to dodge a trapper when they're right in front of you

#

as in touching you

cloud sequoia
#

they got weird stagger resist

#

you can push trappers with two pushes

#

just QQ cancel your first push into another push

#

I just don't have the muscle memory for it properly set up

cloud sequoia
#

nah i not gonna consume 2 push for a single trapper KEKW_ogryn

spice veldt
#

I don't like to back away from a fight, so my only choice is to double push them or time my dodge perfectly

cloud sequoia
#

You can press F

spice veldt
#

though that's probably just a matter of dodging early

#

what if my ult isn't up?

feral verge
#

What if you special melee'd them

#

With Deimos you stun them and they die

spice veldt
#

takes longer than double pushes

feral verge
#

With illisi they die

spice veldt
#

and that's assuming I have my special up

#

I play extremely greedily, so I'll handle the trapper at the very last moment

#

the base case is that I'm playing extremely unsafely

#

e.g., ult isn't up, I'm staying near a corner with a trapper nearby, my special just got consumed by hitting an enemy, etc.

olive ember
spice veldt
#

though just testing in the meatgrinder, it seems to be a matter of just dodging the trapper early

#

i use force swords with infamously horrible stagger on normals

olive ember
#

I mean I do to

#

just heavy

cloud sequoia
#

i just power heavy

spice veldt
#

me too

cloud sequoia
#

or heavy poke with deimos

spice veldt
#

but I'm talking about a situation where it's a split second where it's just too short to activate my illisi special

cloud sequoia
#

infinite dodge

spice veldt
#

where I played extremely greedily

olive ember
#

oh illisi problem

#

just obscures lmao

#

ez

spice veldt
#

I don't like to rely on dodging since I have bad attention management and accidentally dodge into enemies to my side, ending my dodge early

#

though now that i know dodging trappers early is better, I'll prob do that more

cloud sequoia
#

dodge more then KEKW_ogryn

spice veldt
#

but I'll prob be greedy and prefer to double-push the trapper to prevent the risk of them running away

#

I do dodge

cloud sequoia
#

the only dodge problem is when you accidentally dodge into ledge

spice veldt
#

but dodge-spamming trappers doesn't work since it'll follow the same mechanic as shooters where they'll track you again if you spam your dodges

summer prairie
#

Do you also only get stagger locked by fire if you hold sprint

spice veldt
#

like flamer/bomber fire or shooter fire?

summer prairie
#

Yes

cloud sequoia
summer prairie
#

Bomber

spice veldt
#

sprinting doesn't seem to change anything about the stagger from health damage

#

seems to be the same; you'll get staggered, have a period of stagger invuln, then get staggered again

#

period seems to be the same as well

summer prairie
#

Is it due to quietitude then regaining toughness and it's getting broken again

spice veldt
#

nah; didn't generate any peril during so

#

lemme see if it changes anything if I have an essence harvest stack up tho

summer prairie
#

Can you charge your secondary while sitting in the fire if you have focused channeling

vital compass
#

Yo guys currently using the orange; just got the blue from a mission, would you guys take it to legendary and try replace the current or would you just not care?

#

sry to interrupt i didnt read

spice veldt
#

yes; my cast didn't interrupted, and I was able to start a cast while in the fire

vital compass
#

i was thinking it was a beast blue staff too but not sure if it's worth all the resources to replace my current

summer prairie
#

If I wanted to try out that staff, I would first reroll the blessing to something useless like barrage and then upgrade. Better chances of rolling something good and you'll replace the T2 with a higher tier nexus anyway

spice veldt
#

also it seems that the stun that the bomber nade initially deals can be ended prematurely by swapping to another weapon, making you actionable again and able to dodge out of the fire before it starts inflicting damage

obsidian creek
#

what the hell perks are favored for trauma staff? damage to flak and maniac?

olive ember
#

I'd say the purge is worth rolling but idk

#

I'd prob replace warp nexus with a trash blessing and then see what is rolled in the 2nd blessing spot

obsidian creek
#

hi derp 🙂

vital compass
#

ok yea i can try that ty guys

olive ember
#

trauma staff perks?

#

herm

vital compass
#

i didnt even think about that

olive ember
#

I forget is the go to still unarmoured or wte to be able to hit breakpoints

#

for trauma

#

or did warp unleashed fix that

obsidian creek
#

i haven't a clue

olive ember
#

Arcotash should have you covered

spice veldt
#

assuming a 60% damage trauma staff (360 dmg), you'll need a 25% damage boost from somewhere to one-shot dreg bruisers (450 hp)

obsidian creek
#

arcoflagulent?

#

kinda got screwed on the perks :/

#

but

spice veldt
#

depends on what enemy you hate tbh

#

with the illisi, I don't really gaf about dreg bruisers

#

besides throwing them around if you don't one-shot them in the epicentre

#

I try to minimize the chaos done by my trauma staff, so I prioritize unarmoured

cloud sequoia
#

Yikes thats a bricked perk

spice veldt
#

hmm 4 warp charges and 0% peril warp unleashed is 26% damage, so you don't really need +unarmoured

cloud sequoia
#

Flak

obsidian creek
#

i was gonna go flak before asking

spice veldt
#

flak is pretty nice

#

should let you two-shot dreg gunners

obsidian creek
#

what about maniac for dags and whatnot

#

or does trauma already take care of bursters and dogs?

spice veldt
#

bursters take like 20x explosion damage so the epicentre always one-shots them (or two-shot by the outer area)

#

bursters and dogs being infested

#

dogs take 3x melee damage and will get staggered by the outer area of the trauma staff if they're midway through their pounce

olive ember
#

you don't rly trauma mutants either so its kinda like

spice veldt
#

so I don't consider killing them with trauma important

pine relic
obsidian creek
#

right right

#

so probably flak then

spice veldt
#

so if I didn't care about dreg bruisers, I'd probably do Carapace + Flak

pine relic
#

The vet says he doesn't think any team could have done that. Yeah, I definitely can't finish that mission with him.

obsidian creek
#

is trauma effective vs carapace at all?

spice veldt
#

deals 100% damage to carapace, but you ideally aren't using the trauma for DPS against heavy targets usually

#

but I usually blast crushers for the rending debuff and they usually appear in groups, so it's more worthwhile than melee/BB in those situations

#

and crushers are annoying with their period of stagger invuln so it'd be nice if they died even a little bit faster

cloud sequoia
#

For dog.... Just BB KEKW_ogryn trust me

spice veldt
#

you always one-shot bursters regardless of the charge

obsidian creek
#

this sounds like it's gonna be fun

spice veldt
#

mmmmm as long as the illisi is as borked, I'll probably dropped +unarmoured on my trauma I guess

obsidian creek
#

haven't used trauma since beta

cloud sequoia
#

You are not going to like side stepping dog after trauma KEKW_ogryn

obsidian creek
#

i don't trust the game for dodging dogs

spice veldt
#

trauma will stagger dogs midway through their pounce

obsidian creek
#

i dodge onto boxes

#

lol

spice veldt
#

you don't even need to target them with the epicentre

#

hitting them with the outer area will also knock them out of their pounce

#

though I prefer to knock dogs out of their pounce with a melee attack since I'm greedy for dealing damage to them

obsidian creek
#

is the AOE full powered at any charge, or does the power of the damage/stagger increase in relation to the AOE size

spice veldt
#

damage and stagger increase with charge

#

well

#

the epicentre stagger is the same i believe

#

but the outer area stagger scales with charge as far as I can tell?

obsidian creek
#

so always go for full charge if possible, basically

cloud sequoia
#

scale

olive ember
#

he had a score >60

cloud sequoia
#

to kill yea, but if you have flurry go do 3x small charge to stack up the cast speed

obsidian creek
#

ahh smart

#

word

#

thanks a lot 🙂

pine relic
spice veldt
#

i'd prob only do small charges if I really wanted to DPS a group of enemies down, though I prefer full charges against shooters for the stagger of the outer area

obsidian creek
#

yeah

#

more than enough info to start learning this jewel

#

appreciate it

spice veldt
#

I should prob do smaller charges more often

olive ember
#

I get vets who just

#

recon las

#

and die to poxwalkers

pine relic
#

If I kill more range elites than him as a psyker, then he is just bad

spice veldt
#

depends; could be counterfire vets that didn't pick the elite tough regen feat

obsidian creek
#

it would be nice if essence harvest worked like confirmed kill

spice veldt
#

actual quicken synergy with essence harvest

#

but no

cloud sequoia
#

Unless its bolter vet

obsidian creek
#

i'm too accustomed to barrage and quick BBs

#

i'm scared to switch off of barrage

pine relic
#

And our zealot used one of our precious medi pacs near the healing station, which has three charges left. They were just begging to be lost.

olive ember
#

I mean

#

barrage is basically good no matter what the build

obsidian creek
#

yeah

olive ember
#

AB is only rly useful on purge nowadays since flak dmg nerf

#

and quicken is meme trash that Lazorr picks because ????

obsidian creek
#

soulblaze is shit though

olive ember
#

its basically the flame dot, except it ticks every 0.75 seconds vs 0.5 or wte

obsidian creek
#

is it even possible to build up enough stacks of soulblaze to be worth speccing to it at all?

olive ember
#

not rly besides purge staff

#

it used to be decent but yeah

spice veldt
#

the advantage of AB being the reach I suppose

olive ember
#

with like autopistol builds you could use pinning fire and 4 dot AB to do some funny shit

obsidian creek
#

and that's only if you're using purge staff specifically for dps

olive ember
#

before the flak nerf

obsidian creek
#

which i don't think is really viable

olive ember
#

but yeah they cut flak damage in half because a certain class used flak dmg values against crushers

#

a bit of a bruh moment but yeah

pine relic
#

We were only half way through, and I killed almost 100 specials and disablers.

cyan notch
#

ive had one of those missions before

#

simply pull the team through through sheer force of will

spice veldt
#

the sheer force of illisi

#

and trauma staff for bursters I guess

#

50 minute games are why I always hold W

pine relic
#

I wish I could, but I died once and they just fell apart.

#

Our zealot hadn't used a single grenade, if I remember correctly.

cyan notch
#

cant really hold w in hi shock if your team doesnt follow

#

youll just die alone and theyll die after

spice veldt
#

depends on the specialist comp

#

if it's not three mutants/trappers and has at least one flamer/burster/dog/sniper, it's definitely manageable solo

#

and specialists will gun for your team as well

#

even when split off from my team, I've rarely ever many specialists in hishock gun for me

#

and they usually come out of the closet in a staggered fashion

#

as long as you DPS check them, they're fine

#

depends on staff probably

#

trauma is nice for staggering flamers and giving that split-second to just run into their face and fuck them up

pine relic
#

It's the shock troop gauntlet, it's three mutant/snipers most of the time KEKW_ogryn

spice veldt
#

even with mutants, their spawns are staggered pretty nicely

cyan notch
#

not the ones in mine

#

3 at a time

spice veldt
#

probably refinery delta then

#

they come out one-by-one and they're staggered such that you won't get caught in the middle of your dodges

cyan notch
#

mutants are the worst cuz theyre the biggest time wasters

spice veldt
#

play mindtricks on mutants to make them target your teammates

digital loom
#

if a mutant is a "time waster" then you're running the wrong build for hi shock

cyan notch
#

oh ok my bad

kind jay
#

the way to fight muties is to stand behind the camo vet

pine relic
#

I think it was vigil station oblivium

#

We die in the scanning part.

olive ember
#

3 at a time mutants into 2 bursters and 2 trappers

cyan notch
olive ember
#

maybe throw in 2 bombers from opposite directions as well

spice veldt
#

as a non-gunker, mutants do require some dedication to kill

olive ember
#

just melee them

#

its like

#

2 heavies on the obscures

#

easier than dogs

feral verge
#

With enough skill you can kill a mutie with a single bb

#

What none of you can do that? Level up some skill

spice veldt
#

if they don't target you, you'll need to be out of position to kill them if you don't trust your teammates
if they do target you, they'll eat your cleave and take a few melee swings depending on the weapon

#

and you might get forced out of your position to reliably dodge them

olive ember
#

just press F

#

duh

spice veldt
#

not bad, but they do require some dedication

digital loom
pine relic
#

It's best to use Shredder because if the AI focuses on you and your teammates don't know what they're doing, there's no way you could survive.

feral verge
#

When I have deimos I WANT the mutie to target me

digital loom
#

get more experience

oh ok my bad sorry im trash

ill hope to improve soon

maybe even a rashad

when they spawn in hordes i generally have slaughter stacks anyways and illy will just drop them at that point. bodyguardless muties get an electric prostrate exam

what darktide gacha does to a man

When I hear mutie spawn I literally hope that it's coming for me

pine relic
cyan notch
olive ember
#

Eh i mean

#

idrc when I hear a mutie spawn

#

I'm spaced out whenever I play darktide

spice veldt
#

2 lights with the obscurus is enough with WU and +maniac, but you'll still get locked into the special

olive ember
#

the special? why use special

#

just heavy

#

like 2 normal heavies

spice veldt
#

to play super safe and it's easy to hit bodyshots

feral verge
#

Playing it safe

spice veldt
#

with sweeping normal heavies, I'll need 3-4 heavy-headshots to kill muties

feral verge
#

scoffs

#

Who is this guy

olive ember
#

3 or 4?

#

I do it in like 2

spice veldt
#

I never really got into the habit of hitting mutants in the head as they charged since I had the obscurus special to rely on

olive ember
#

or 2 and a light

spice veldt
#

oh did the damage buff let it 2-shot mutants with heavy-headshots?

olive ember
#

illi charges heavy into a pouncing poxhound is funny tho

#

its like playing baseball

cyan notch
#

i dont think they buffed normal heavy did they

#

just lights?

olive ember
#

idr kekw

#

Tbf most of the time in an actual game a mutant is damaged by the time they get to you

#

I can normally finish em off with like one or two heavies

ruby plover
olive ember
#

idk what it is like from full

spice veldt
#

even with a bunch of damage boosts (+maniac, 100% peril with WU and unstable power), I'll need 2 heavy-headshots and another melee attack to kill a mutant

ruby plover

god damnit

how mald are you right now

I only use Shredder at shock troop gauntlet.

u better know what to do though im not explaining SHIT

over a video game? maybe get a life so you stop taking this shit so seriously

ruby plover

ummmmm a VIDEO GAME baby this is LIFE????

yeah alright we're throwing hands rn

its not up to u anymore

square up homie

shredder is nice

Really Hadron? A t1 and t2 blessing? On those stats and perks?

jolly musk
#

I just got here, but I'm only using guns on my psyker now lol

feral verge
#

Flip is wanted in 18 jurisdictions

spice veldt
#

I don't really run guns since I like the basically passive toughness regen from quietude with staff usage

ruby plover
#

i mean duh gunker is insane

spice veldt
#

but otherwise, I would prefer a gun over staffs

ruby plover
#

if someone thinks gunker is bad they're just dumb simple as

digital loom
#

you want to talk about thowing hands? ok. Flip is a degrading racial slur for people of Filipino descent. Why are you being racist?

ruby plover
#

dude thank you

feral verge
#

@ruby plover was behind the killing of Scrappy Doo in the streets of Brazil

ruby plover
#

its so much easier for you to just do this then me calling you a weirdo myself

feral verge
pine relic
#

In the last game, the mutants just kept coming, and I was the only one able to kill them quickly. If the vet had been using a Shredder, we might have survived that game.

ruby plover
#

oh they still think we were slingin drugs?

#

yeah yeah thats totally what we were up to

ruby plover
pine relic
#

I don't think you could pull that off with any staff.

ruby plover
#

its not precise

#

vets are literally veteran sharpshooters its in the name

spice veldt
#

mm i assume those mutants were accompanied by other enemies so I guess a staff for dealing with whatever stragglers were there

fallow falcon
#

What can I do to salvage these blessings?

feral verge
spice veldt
#

sustained would probably be the one I'd replace with either flurry or rending

spice veldt
#

surge maybe

fallow falcon
ruby plover
#

nothin CMs love better

pine relic
#

I would use surge if my team had enough firepower.

feral verge
#

With illisi as my fire power

#

I use illisi 80% of the time

#

I save surge for when shit gets hectic

#

Elites/specials and shooters behind cover

olive ember
pine relic
#

And my experience is that don't trust your team, so, shredder always.

olive ember
#

Lmao

#

How did we come to the same conclusion

#

I only bring out surge staff for teams which are worthy

cyan notch
feral verge
#

I had a guy like that earlier today lol

olive ember
#

They’re always like that

#

Dunno if they are baiting tbh

spice veldt
#

they jumped into the convo hostile so they're prob just like that

feral verge
#

When I said I liked having a stamina curio

ruby plover
#

i love people like that

#

idc if theyre baiting

#

im having a good time and thats what counts

cyan notch
vital compass
#

How important is charge rate on surge?

olive ember
#

Dump stat

hollow current
feral verge
#

Like wtf lmao

vital compass
#

the 379 is good right

spice veldt
#

that's the overall rating

pine relic
#

I mean, the left one is clearly better.

spice veldt
#

i'd focus on this number in particular

vital compass
#

i just meant so you knew which i was talking about

spice veldt
#

o

#

yeah left one is nice

#

maniac is eh but it's not totally useless since you're prob using the surge on specialists most of the time

vital compass
#

but yea charge rate doesn't matter then i guess?

spice veldt
#

if you're not using it for damage

olive ember
#

@feral verge

vital compass
#

yea i thought maniacs was pretty good on surge

naive junco
#

you can always mouse over charge rate in inspect

olive ember
naive junco
#

the difference isnt much

olive ember
#

I mean his first msg in psyker chat was shit talking kekw

spice veldt
#

pretty sure you can one-shot shotgunners with a full charge and +flak? that's what I saw on Jsat's video

vital compass
#

ah its like .3

#

difference

primal plume
#

I sincerely believe the amount of extra casts you can get with this is better than wrath

spice veldt
#

though I'd say that 0.3 seconds is fairly impactful given how slow it is

spice veldt
vital compass
#

I see

primal plume
cyan notch
feral verge
feral verge
vital compass
#

and apparently warp flurry is bugged on surge atm?

spice veldt
#

I mainly build around my melee so I prefer warp unleashed

pine relic
#

The only good thing about a surge is that it kills all kinds of shooters. except for the Dreg shooters.

spice veldt
#

and being able to kill bulwarks in two BBs without having to manage your warp charges is a nice QoL

olive ember
#

eh seems like an elitist in general

#

and not the good kind

feral verge
spice veldt
#

if it had a slightly higher target count, I'd prefer surge

feral verge
#

Fixed a few patches ago

pine relic
#

I don't even think the stun is the best part.

spice veldt
#

like the quick stun without needing to really charge it is suuuper nice

olive ember
#

2 patches ago

#

or was it 3

#

meh

cyan notch
#

trauma with inner tranq is pretty nice yea

vital compass
feral verge
#

Unstable power goes with every other staff

#

Oops

#

Meant warp unleashed

#

Warp unleashed is a staple

naive junco
#

surge just needs to prioritize elites and specials within prox of cursor. the random targets kinda suck

olive ember
#

eh

#

it needs a larger target cap

feral verge
#

I'm surprised I'm not seeing any other psykers in pub games running high peril builds

olive ember
#

if it could hit 15 targets at once

#

it would be balanced

cyan notch
#

dude why 15

olive ember
#

cuz

#

15

naive junco
#

that would be too strong..

olive ember
#

idk what you talking about

#

perfectly balanced

naive junco
#

you could literally cc the whole map and run to the end lol

cyan notch
#

casual 3x the number of current targets

orchid shadow
#

Holy, I didn't realize the Relay Station mats bug was that bad...

pine relic
#

In this game, you really want to kill things fast instead of controlling them. If crowd control were important, power maul wouldn't be so useless

feral verge
#

So it's even more not worth it

cyan notch
#

never play it

hollow current
#

I've only played that map like 5 times in the last month because of that bug.

cyan notch
#

if you join just quit out immediately

pine relic

what bug

feral verge
#

I've lost many a run on that map on the first event

#

The one with the radio antenna thing in the bowl arena

cyan notch
orchid shadow
#

I spent 30 minutes just to get 70 plasteel. That's like, T1 Levels

spice veldt
#

relay station's midevent is fine if you can rush it, but it's really painful if you can't do that

#

god damn sniper spawns on that event are so painful

feral verge
#

And the finale event takes ages

olive ember
#

fucking pugs

#

crumble

#

like

digital loom

avoid trs-150 the plasteel is awful

olive ember
#

holy shit just have two peopel cover two people fetch

fml

#

how hard can it be

digital loom
#

the reward doesn't match the effort

hollow current
# olive ember crumble

it's really strange how this is the case. 50/50 whether the randoms get through it okay or just straight up die within two minutes.

spice veldt
#

having one person fetch is fine at the start since the spawns only come from 1-2 spots, though it gets a bit more messy with the 3rd power cell

#

it's partly due to how enemies start spawning from every side

cyan notch
#

yea they spawn all around you

olive ember
#

I mean as long as people stick together its not rly that bad imo, you just do a triangle formation

feral verge
#

Yeah you're literally in a bowl

#

Being flooded

hollow current
#

I always try to rush the batteries and can usually get the first two pretty good. Third depends on if the team is holding itself together.

spice veldt
#

events like that midevent justify my sprint efficiency

always the snipers for me

unless i'm like super low

even if they catch me i just get yeeted and then I panick F and i'm good

spice veldt

I do not have the reaction time or eyesight to deal with snipers

olive ember

if its a poxhound i get screwed

orchid shadow

2x2 seems to be an odd concept for people. Even from a general gameplay standpoint, the amount of times 3rd and 4th back don't watch out for each other is staggering.

simply have zoomer reaction breh

That's why my favorite thing in the game is the 1 shot mutie poke
