I rolled three nice ones
on my psyker
vet still hasn't seen a usable agripinaa infantry autogun
it's been stability or ammo
and I think that's both a stat problem and a balance problem
I think a bit of the "you dont need max stats" is said a lot bc a lot of people started having takes like "I cant play damnation because crafting sucks"

yeah it's a reasonable pushback in that context
but it is repeated way too much even to people who just likes minmaxing
but if you do want godrolls because that's what you want
ya
I am someone who very much likes messing around with builds(not min maxing exactly but close)
great, I'm already doing fine with the gear I have, I just want the Warhammer 40k
and it is very hard to do that alot of times
like the affor mentioned power sword I have locked sluaght 3 and garbage perks(though 1 is by choice since I want to push attack more)
As further supporting evidence: I’m taking a 311 Deimos into heresy and damnation
also some weapons are just extra hard fucking work to get blessings on
so I was able to test both supercahrge
and bm
to see which one was better
that was like
really nice to be able to test and mess around with
because they're standalone and not part of a family
The grind for blessings is just going to get worse and worse as more weapons are added for classes
FatShark should overhaul it when they have the chance
or they have like garbage bloated pools
Or increase melk and servitor offering
Fatshark should do a lot of things
like learn from VT2
getting a perfect thunderhammer
look where we are
Hey is it me or do melks contracts not start counting until you check what they are
yep
have an unyielding 4/maniac 4 + thrust 3/slaught 4
Also they don’t tell me during a mission anymore if I completed the contracts
it's not just you
the damage roll could be a bit higher though
Why’d they remove the in-mission notifications of when you completed a contract
a what I consider perfect ironhelm(since I think thrust isnt worth on it becuase if you want big bonks use the crucis)
but the stats are like
dis can 1 shot almost all damnation specials lol
not that good
yeah that's on the crucis
Yup, still cant get the dream setup
my crucis is sluaght 4 and thrust 3 with good perks luckily
but thunderhammers have a terrible pool to work with
yeah lot of fucken garbage
it is full of just garbage blessings
like shock and awe
ignoring hit mass seems good right
doesn't do what it's supposed to do
and what it's supposed to do ain't right
no it does what it is ment to do
but the thunder hammer
cannot damage more then 3 enemies
with it's heavy
ever
haven't noticed them as much on other weapons
Give surge a blessing that increases damage taken by stunned enemies or something
It does
uhh
yeah you have to get a decent haymaker roll to clear things worth a damn on OG bully club
Thats why ppl dont use the old club without haymaker
worth a damn bar set kinda high by BB Mk3
but most that aren't on that list either a) can't cleave enough to matter or b) are cleave monsters
also
throwback to psyker's psy opsing themselves to only spam antax push attacks

even with bm
lol
it lasted way way too long
How does hunting grounds help with pick n mix when my teammates just shoot dogs :(
ask I guess
I managed to get that one naturally somehow
I think we ended up losing afterwards

Heresy hi intensity
sweet spot yeah
I did it on either normal damn or hi int damn in the torrent mission
near the end
Need 4 warp charges but
we then lost at the end
did it on Logistratum
Very doable
trying to juggle two ammo capsules
I did it on silo cluster
I still find it funny that I got "out with a bang" on vet
The Vet on my team 
went fuck this and clapped a couple specials and a few ragers
and not psyker
Classic fatshark
My team had no vet lol
The only time I got a class specific achievement without going for it was the Vet one with the last round killing multiple enemies
Lucky sod
very
apparently plasma explosion is spicier and has larger radius
I thought I’d never get long bomb but then on the ammo collecting mission I threw it from the dropship to the stairs you come from and I somehow got it
though I do think I actually did blow myself up on purpose
than perils sudoku
since I literally could not deal with the elites with the heat I was at
I just had scraped up a discord group to get going out with a bang
I got it with a surge staff on one of the enclavum missions, had to zap the gunners to keep them still
A weight had been lifted that day
did it with randos
found 3 shotgunners
Y’all must have just bad teammates
and blasted
just told them I might go down once or twice that area
last penance I got naturally was heavywieght champion
which is like
not hard to get now
with the increased ogryn spawns
My teammates are always the competent shoot everything before I can do anything
true
my favorite moment was 6 crushers spawning on low int damnation
im like "bro im here for the mats" and these crushers were ready to give me a CHALLENGE
The only time all of my teammates were shit was in a single uprising
make sure your vet is running camo expert
they will put down roots
I always stick with my team on heresy because I play surge so I never have time to bb the five ragers
I had one mission where like
Achievements are just harder for me for some reason :(
The only achievement I’ve gotten that seems to be harder for everyone else is “abhor the mutant”
I'm happy I finally got the uninterruptible blessing for trauma staff, so I can finally make the staff I want, just now I have to fight RNG... woo...
my first time using my new plasma gun
and I def could tell it's weaknesses
I literally could not deal with enemies fast enough and it was on low int damn
I'm curious, what would you do to plasma gun to make it actually a decent gun?
yeah I sigh a bit internally when I see a plasma vet
it's like knife zealot
odds are stacked
you say this
thing does have a niche even if it's not good
Do plasma guns even consume ammo in universe?
scraped a mf off the ground so many times
Just electricity?
dude ran that many wounds for a reason ig
triple ammo, reduce heat gen and remove damage from venting
they do, hydrogen flasks or something
IMO, plasma guns need to not use ammo, and vent needs to not consume hp.
also most of the time the gunner lifespan is shorter than the ammo cap
So for pick n mix just okay heresy high int and hope for the best
I think it's fine to have it use ammo, but it does not have enough
Why make venting finally not do damage to the caster class, but then ring it back for the only venting ranged weapon for other classes?

I’m still baffled by people that say they got it from hunting grounds easily
in universe plasma gunner duty is a dubious honour
I am pretty sure they designed the plasma gun before they made a lot of other shit
idk if it's still permanently Gets Hot! in the new eds
Also, why tie it to ammo? Vent weapons never had ammo before
My imperial guard army against chaos space marines in dawn of war:
they where scared of it being good for some reason
You seek consistency in the shark, foolish, this is
Where I only give them plasma guns
Too true
"that's illegal, shoot them or something"
Our damage from venting is mental from all the chaos whispering in our ears
psychological, from seeing the fingerprint burned into the casing from the previous guy
every time you shoot and it starts getting hot you smell roast pork
Have what?
Actually suggested change: fix surge bug where staggered enemy doesn’t get immunity to surge
the charge meter
Speaking of inconsistency, certain enemy stagger animations seem tailored for certain sources
does the Surge blessing work/roll for Surge staff secondary?
IIRC it didn't, be a fantastic tweak
likewise brittleness makes bursters immune to stagger

Just give surge unique blessings
Which is random af
but immediate power cycler status
or at least it reduces stagger
idk if it makes them fully immune
Stagger immunity is the dumbest thing
the stagger reduction thing
The feeling when dogs become immune to surge because they are in an animation of jumping over some box
just buffer the dog stun or something
if you have less then 50% rending/brittlenss
then it reduces stagger
and brittlness
it finishes the jump but spasms immediately after
can only ever go to 40%
Why do people say dog space program is over? Dog flight program is definitely still here
yeah it's flight program now not Mars program
I had caused the murders of countless innoecents

It's definitely less often, but yeah, still exists, along with the 720 spin dog
Because I shot it with a bolter with penetrating impact
I'm learning this now
Its real dumb
I assume it's a bug
and some cockups make a lot more sense now
like the one it used to have where it could reduce damage
I’ve learned that surge is just kind of buggy around the edges of its area
If an enemy just comes into surge range when you fire it doesn’t surge it
Seeing the electricity spark but no
zealot ult confirmed intended 
I can’t tell you the times I’ve been hit or shot because of that
Which is so fucking WEIRD
rashad is sorta intended as well
as far as I can tell
they gave some weapons body prio
...no shot
Goddamn horrible hangover...but on the plus side my voidstrike is now as good as it can get for the moment.
as a sort of shitty balance mechanic

Think they’ll ever buff surge # of targets or something
I think the chainsword has it as well
Or make it based on charge
would settle for aiming it tbh
...so yer saying, I wasted 3k on a rashad for my vet, which I will never use
Noice
well
it may still get changed
because even if it's not a bug
it's dumb as hell
Yea
Does the veteran have a melee weapon that is just a single target destroyer
axes
A unique one?
can't expect shit to get changed just because it's dumb
Not really no.
this is fatshark
Anything that isn’t Chainaxe because I use chaxe on zealot
Difference between them?
well the rashad is the best for single target but good luck using it effectively (crab can show you the rashad vision)
For a decent time I thought Rashad was the axe with the least cleave but highest damage
antax is the current best
achlys is middle child
since it just works
How do you properly use chain axe? I don't feel like I'm ever really doing anything with it, and the light attacks feel super jank with the camera lock
antax is overachiever
I ahve no idea
rashad is failson
what the achyls does
I played a game of helbore vet to try out the new aim assist. The new aim assist doesn’t feel too impactful
rashad has some insane damage if you can make it hit heads
Hi-Int shock gauntlet is mental... (we lost)
if
Block Push attack. Run slaughter plus either thrust or headtaker
@dry sun Summon thee, @void mural requires initiation
Sooo... it's a gimmick weapon with a special attack?
I lit the beacon
the lights are very good at single target on the chaxe
Like achlys all over again?
the heavies and push attacks are your horde clear
but it will kill pretty much any elite very quickly if you need it to
What role do lights fill? They never seem to 1 shot fodder enemies, so I'd assume they're not any better for higher stuff?
Dornam. If you want detail explanation on Chainaxe, ask Badman#2907
looks about like mine tbh, but mine has dumdum 2
and mine has way lower ammo
or well
not way lower
but low enough my mag is only 21
Not base, but with blessings like slaughterer and headtaker they start one shotting. It becomes a momentum weapon.
bringing a FAL into 40k
The Chainaxe kills things quickly one at a time instead of cleaving
Ah, so chain axe is another blessing reliant weapon?
yes
What isn’t
Oof
best Chainaxe I saw had both Headtaker and Slaughterer
yeah look some of theme are pisstakes
it has like 7 blessings
rev it up smh
and 3 of them are very good
and one of those 7 is only ever t4
so it basically only has 6
Eh, illisi is fine with whatever
Rev it up is the kind of blessing where I really want it to have much more speed as a meme
instead of nerfing bloodthirsty, I want to see them give it, idk, a 3 second duration
chainaxe with bloodthirsty
all the chainweapon version never did the funny 5 seconds of crits
yeah
The Chainaxe lights stagger what you are hitting too
was very malded to find that out
made me
very sad
my dreams of the crit viserator where dashed
and then dashed again when I found out it wasn't very good anyway
eviscerator with old force sword bloodthirsty
I rolled a bloodthirsty/perfect strike eviscerator
mf just skated off shit half the time before this patch lmao
Basically, the Chainaxe is a momentum weapon with combos for groups. To play Chainaxe is to channel the bloodshed as you quickly rip through each enemy
For hordes use flamer 
tbf, I can def see how 5 seconds of 100% crits would just break the illisi
that's like the one isse
but also like
yeah it'd break the deimos as well tbh
crushers become a nonissue
I’m not good at explaining weapons though
Anyone know if a meme illisi build works with blazing spirit, bloodthirsty, and wildfire? Or do enemies that die to the crit hit not proc blazing spirit?
illisi seems like a bit of a problem child tbh
it is incredibly strong
it's too good at a lot of things
no meaningful weaknesses
I feel like it's mainly sluaght thats pushing it over the edge
deimos at least has some issues to make up for bonkers numbers
I don’t get warp flurry. Does the increased charge speed not make it so you’re doing higher charges which cause more peril?
i think it works.
it reduces peril gen actually
How
slaught fucks everything tbh
I guess less time charging means less peril generated
They better not nerf slaughterer
it does need a nerf, but a lot of weapon that use it need a buff in compensation at the same time
capping it at 10% is still fantastic tbh
Fun! I hope I can someday have rng bless me enough to do a meme build... gotta love how much RNG is in this games "crafting" system
It’s not crafting. It’s sticker collecting
Flurry? It pretty sure it doesn't reduce Peril gen. It just decreases your cast time, you still generate the same amount of peril in that faster cast.
like all the weapons that are crap without it just could take a like 25% cleave and damage boost at the same time they nerf it
what about headtaker
depending on how they nerf it (if they even do)
IIRC, right click peril gen is based on peril/second spent charging, so if you spend less time charging, you generate less peril per cast
they don't have it in them to do something like that right now
headtaker is only busted on the heavy sword
barely keeping up on content release
Is peril gen you get after releasing a charge not based off of time spent charging and not the actual strength of the charge?
it's is fine on everything else that can roll it
tbf headtaker is also necessary on heavy sword
no touch my heavy sword. its my treasure.
Like the burst of peril you get after releasing a charge
heavy sword's headtaker is literally just slaughterer but better
weird ass identity of lightly trimming the toenails of everyone you hit
No nerfing slaughterer without buffing weapons
Nah, I meant the RNG of crafting actually letting me get everything I need for the build on the same weapon. Unlocking blessings is sticker collecting for sure
monkey's paw finger curls
I wonder if any of the FatShark people actually monitor things other than general chat
yeah bloodthirsty might be hard to get. its t4.
Ah, you're correct.
Reduces your charge cost by the % value as well, since the channeling costs peril per second.
something that seems to remain the case in DT
is how few FS devs play high difficulties
But actually thematically it’s not crafting. It’s either making it more sacred or rummaging through crates of weapons
I think the demios and illsis could be fine without compensation buffs, but like the obscorus, thunderhammer, chain axe, both the krouk ogryn knives, would all need a buff
if they nerfed sluaght
That includes the burst of peril after releasing a charge?
Lore-wise, yeah, but I meant that the joke is that I can't even call their "crafting system" crafting, because all it is really is rolling a stupid slot machine
I fully expect they either won't nerf sluaght for a while or it'll get hit at the end of this month
or it'll end up like VT2 where the clear best blessings just got left as is
I don't think that part changes, just the peril/second cost
that is kinda ok, not ideal
but also like
I don't think they could ever make it not bis
without just gutting it
Agreed
or massively buffing something else
Just with how many things the power increase stat affects
the only balanced power vs damage split is fire frenzy and death spitter
(fire frenzy is only damage)
they are close enough with the %s that it is a decently meaningful choice between them
as well as fire frenzy only effects things at a closer range
what level are you
19
Weapon?
not really
yeah fuck this
I mean
Leveling gives you a bunch of feats to pick from that will always improve your gameplay somehow
i think once you get used to a level 30 class its kinda hard to go back to leveling
Yeah and in leveling in an mmo you are kinda useless for the big stuff too
og and zealot feel fine to level
becuase they are walls of meat
point is, fuck thsi class
What specifically are you struggling with pogryn
my damage feels poor, my cc feels okay but I feel like a subpar veteran
Psyker does lack any semblance of ranged burst DPS so far
diemos blaze, voidstrike
Is voidstrike animation cancel spam not that?
Yeah, psyker is much more mid range
oooooooh that explains it
It has long range options, but mid range is where we thrive
Voidstrike is a ranged/hordeclear hybrid weapon
and it ends up not being the best for either purpose
I dislike Voidstrike because any meaty enemy will just eat the ball and stop the pierce
Psyker is just a weird class that has no super defined role
yup; it's only got 6 cleave when fully charged
It depends on your weapons
i tried voidstrike on high int damn once and 90% my hits were eaten by bulwarks
i cant look at that staff ever again
Really? I feel like I can hit many more enemies than that
W/ headshots
Does that matter?
I don't think so? not sure
Voidstrike has this occasional behavior where it ignores the cleave limit on its epicentre and annihilates everything that touches it
If void only has 6 pierce, then I'm never picking it up again
the outer radius has no cleave limit, and that might be what you're seeing
bruh
Welcome to the club
From what I understood before, if the ball kills the enemy, it doesn't count against pierce. I felt like the pierce really only excels when headshotting
truly skill issue
yeah
just get better
I'm probably making that up tho
you should've been able to save that game
imagine not reacting split second smh, i suck at this bro
Even if you have a daemonhost and a beast of Nurgle on you, you should be easily able to beat it
yerah.. you might get better... someday
L + ratio + big e doesn't love you
but not today
Darktide too easy man damnation = recruit on vt2 Blegh
@inland juniper psyker feels pretty shit on difficulty 3+ until you get some higher rating weapons. IMO, stick to difficulty 2 until you level up a bunch, and get some higher rating weapons. I liked voidstrike when I started psyker, and illisi FS unlocks at level 2 I think? It's pretty OP at base, so I'd recommend those 2 while you level up
BB carries pretty hard for sniping on lower difficulties because it kills everything below an ogryn in one cast, and there's not as many specials on low difficulties
being lvl 19 means that they don't have access to qualities of life like Kinetic Deflection or Flayer, which partly explains it
Yeah, KD really is amazing
Goes from "can't block shit", to blocking entire hordes while rezzing alllies
i've been saved from fucking impossible situations by KD
For real
like i got backed into a corner vs 2 bulwarks and a horde with it
and managed to block and shove until i could get out
granted i had to use special to drop from max peril but still
Best tank for DH too
yep
it isnt always useful (moreso good for assassination missions and whatnot) but when it is
holy shit can it save runs
Yeah, can save you from most situations when used properly
witness da powah of 6 cleave https://streamable.com/zzdf5p
Oh ):
yup
Voidstrike, more like Avoidstrike amiright?
killing 6 poxwalkers or 8 groaners in a single shot ain't bad, but I usually reckon that my melee is good enough (or even better if I'm using the Illisi)
This is competing with purge with Infinite cleave?
yup
being able to cleave through crushers
or trauma, which also has infinite cleave
And everything else except bulwarks
Sometimes void struggles w/ ragers center mass, smh
I like voidstrike for the range flexibility it brings over purge. Though lately I've been really liking my trauma staff
void centre mass is a panic space clearing shot IME
also, fucking height slider
had a friend complaining about void being shit
turns out old mate had set his psyker to minimum height
Eh? What's that cause?
Managed to pick perfect height for my psyker
slight differences in angling
making it harder to hit headshots in a line
Ah
I am minimum height and find void to be just fine
Worth upgrading?
not ruling out skill issue mind you
though headshots aren't that big of a damage boost for voidstrike anyways
it's more for transfer peril
That's pretty nice
You want burn to be 76% or higher, ideally
Missing 76% burn for last stack I think, but looks decent otherwise
Ah ok, I'll save my resources for something better then
Also, probably try for damage being the dump stat if possible
Dmg on purg is pretty shit compared to the dot though?
sure, but it's not negligible
i don't particularly care about sustain with battle meditation and the fast quell speeds nowadays
Doesn't it only do like 15 dmg at max stat?
though there's fire rate to be factored in
True I suppose. Whats the fire rate for purg?
just testing a 43 damage 80 everything else purg and an 80 dmg 72 burn purg, the 43 dmg dealt 191 dps to a mauler and the 80 dmg dealt 230 dps
a bit of penny change, but I always like a bit more DPS
purg > best dildo stick
i have no idea how the fire rate works
shrug with how purge works, dots seem stronger than the on hit damage, but neither way seems bad, depending on how you like to play
I think it's just a giant hitbox and each enemy has their own timer or something
let me demonstrate: brrrrrr
here's how i describe purge
490 and below = shit
490 and above = semi shit
For Gunker, the feats are pretty much anything you want, with the exception of the Mandatory Warp Unleashed? I have 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3 at the moment
500+ = best
Inner tranquility + warp battery isn't bad either if you like using kinetic barrage
Chain man!
Everyone else is a pale imitation
So, how do you not suck with chain axe?
First things first have either headtaker, slaughterer, or thrust as your 2 blessings. Otherwise you might not be bad but your chainaxe will be
Mobility can be your dumpstat but you want shmovement
Yeah, that's about what I've been feeling with chain axe. Been unlucky with blessings
Pretty much what I assumed
Light attack spam if fast and good. Wont clear hordes but does good single target damage. I swear ive hit 2 pox walkers with 1 horizontal light before. Push attack and heavy attack hit 3 enemies in front of your and is your horde clear. Revved attack heavy is your big guy killer. Rev light can kill scab and dreg gunners
Light also does minor suppression on enemies touchint the one you are hitting
I like to star most engagements with a slide heavy or using my flamer for a few seconds (flamer fire and deaths with proc headtaker and slaughterer) and proceed to push attack > heavy > light light and repeat until all my power buffs are up and then I can just do whatever and things will die
Ah, so light attacks for single target, revved lights for gunners, push and heavy for horde. All this is predicated on propping the weapon up on its blessing power increases? Otherwise you're going to have a bad time?
Yeah pretty much
So... essentially, go find some blessing or don't use it, lol
I can make it work because I have 100 hours of chainaxe but I wouldnt reccomend one without those power blessings or if you are gonna try using it on any class other than zelly
T3 perks will service tho if you have those
So, my actual assessment of the weapon was on point. It's pretty shit because bad blessings
Melks been really on point for giving me chainaxes
Yeah its not good unless you put love into the weapin
I rarely see any chainaxes
People see me on high damn and go "wow how u gonna make that work"
The nice thing is i get a lot of compliments from randos when they see chainaxe put in work
Is chainsword the same? I've always felt like it's a wet noodle when trying it out. I don't have any good blessing for it either
relatively new to psyker meta, how do i stay alive
My axe
i've been staying in the backline but that makes me feel like a burden on the team
Chain weapons are all kinda mid right now. Id say chainsword might be the best contender rn when it comes to having no blessings
Illisi is OP, abuse it, or deimos if you like it better. Play difficulty 2 until you're decently high leveled and get some good rating weapons. Psyker sucks at low level/weapon rating
Damn son!
Honestly i wouldnt even use the chainaxe if i wasnt such a massive kharn simp
Id be a hammer main
gotcha, i cleared my first hi int damnation and it was awful, i'm a zealot main
got illisi and purgatus
I personally liked voidstrike more at low levels, but you do you if purg works for you
trying to get to 30 as fast as possible, at 22 rn
Well, you're 20, so you can at least take KD to abuse blocking
is KB one of the feats?
Kinetic shield is decent as well, but imo, KD can clutch bad situations better
What would the dump stat on the duelling sword be?
BTW, kinetic shield also affects melee because tooltips lie
Seems ok for a more defensive playstyle?
for a defensive ds mkv is better, but even then still not offering much worth taking over deimos
deimos blows all dueling swords out of the water, unfortunately
Ah ok, relatively new to psyker as i mostly played Zealot, I'll avoid it then
Using an illisi, i'll keep an eye out for a good deimos
if you really ike it, use it
but if oyu want the most mileage, get deimos force sword
Dueling swords kinda just dead after the 2 new kids on the block, can we just give em to the zealots now that we aren't playing with em anymore?
Wasn't enjoying the duelling swords much while leveling, prefer'd the force ones with deflector
i would love this
alls i want is for zealot to have duelies or rapier
does Slaughterer effect Ascending Blaze? 🤔
yes
Probably does
cool, I build Purgatus + Run N Gun to speed run T3 with my friend and it is kinda fun
if you want max damage ascendant blaze, use a force sword with usntable pwoer + slaughterer
be at full peril, cast ascendant blaze (With warp battery ofc)
swap to sword, get to high peril
horde will be literally deleted in seconds
things that die to your soulblaze while your sword is in hand will also proc slaughterer
Or gun psyker with pinning and blaze away too
so you go to max slaughterer stacks immediately and everything gets cooked
Though gun psyker's it's own beast
I prefer Purgatus+Run N Gun more than Auto pistol. I have to try T5 run with my friend. XD
I kinda jsut dropped my purgatos with the dot nerfs
yah, that suck
run and gun lol
I like the other staves more anyhow, so kicking me on my dots just makes me not want to paly it
purga + AB still slaps with the flak nerf
Trauma's the last one I'm trying, it's a fun one, but my trauma staves all kinda suck
it need 360+ to be good staff
What is AB?
Ascendant blaze
Sure… my bad 😅
No worries, abbreviations are confusing
I don’t know what to think about purgatus
Purg is an easy one to pick up, lowest skill floor of any of the staves, but I like the ceiling of the others more
infinite cleave is always nice
So if I get power buff through unstable power will my soulblaze ticks increase in damage?
yes, but only while you're holding your force sword
I need to melt this for it's blessing brothers. I am ignorant, I only returned from a 3 month break last week. I used my melee weapon to make me run faster and that was all. Which is the better blessing ot earn?
Power fubbs work on it in general, but only while holding said stat stick
I like voidstrike the most. Feels like it helps handle most of the things
ive never felt ascendant blaze actually make a noticeable difference tho
i always stick to kinetic barrage with the elite cooldown feat
neither blessing is remarkable, but I suppose executor if you want a single-target deimos
What perks would be best to have on a lightning staff?
AB deletes hordes faster than any psyker ability/weapon
and so i can swap between horde clear and quick elite melting on a whim
Voidstrike is for sure a great one, big thing to put the fire stick down for, especially since BB being better now too, gives me less want for ascendant blaze purg stuff
and it lights up rooms full of shooters
AB is the msot ultimate feeling ultimate in the game
thank you, it's the only orange I have. But it's base is 308. I was thinking of just keeping it until I raise up a better one. I wish you could melt the useless ones for a pitance of dia and plast
that sounds nice, but i tend to us brain burst A LOT, so kinetic barrage is just too good for me to pass up
So what is BB 😂? Sorry I Main ogryn and try to get deeper into my psyker until next patch
Don't listen to Acrotash, uncanny is actually pretty great for deimos
brain burst
121232 for the meme 😂
brain burst, your """grenade"""
BB is nice but it can be trap
BBing too much can severely lower your potential damage output
Think of it like the box but you throw it with your mind.
and your stagger/cc potential
only really affecting carapace damage on heavies
Would flak be the main perk on a lighting staff?
I think BB could charge a bit faster tbh 😅 most of the time it feels lackluster but just me speaking as a noob
force swords have pretty good armour mods
i only really use it for elites, bosses, and when the veteran isnt too interested in killing gunners on the far end of the room
What about Unstabke Power?
but ill be hotswapping between purg and that quite a lot throughout missions
Uncanny stacks on your special, so you can be a real menace to crushers with it being able to do a heavy then 2nd heavy pretty much 2 shotting em, also good for killing maulers faster with simple lights
unstable power is great
it's the 2nd best blessing
Also gets maulters and any simple flak armored dudes killed a bit faster
it shines on high peril builds
the 1st stab and heavies deal 100% to flak enemies
what level are you? at lvl 30 you have a feat that can increase that charge time for a short while after your ult
i hope you're not light-spamming flak enemies
plus you can precharge it
Oh I am 30 and I Play psyker on damnation 😅
So not totally noob
OK, maybe I should try consecrating this 365 up then?
it's true that your normals will do more damage to the carapace head of maulers, but the deimos special also deals 200% damage to the flak body of maulers
Sometimes they're thrown in the middle of hoards, it'd help out I'm sure
you want low warp resistance
Just don’t feel as comfortable as with ogryn 😅
so you can easily maintain low peril
melting!
50% or lower is my ideal
I thought I wanted high peril to murder everying
idk i feel like its perfectly fine, trading the slow default buildup for ensured damage that you dont have to aim or have LoS for
one shots most elites on damnation
i meant maintain high peril, with low warp resistance, sorry
It's absolutely a great blessing to try out at the least, I don't have a great one rolled, so I'm not sure what breakpoints it helps with besides fucking up crushers real hard
Daimos special stuns to long in my opinion
oh of course, sorry. So yeah I guess I should melt it. I don't really plan to use it that much honestly. At least now cause I don't really know how. I usually take it out if I'm cornered or as a meme tbh to behead a solo enemy
i honestly swapped off of deimos cuz i ended up getting myself hurt using it more often than not, so im using ol reliable bm antax
dont have a good one atm
Big F
the best on i got was uh
Love that hting
slaughterer or exorcist just being personal preference?
trading damage for higher special uptime?
That ain't bad, not amazing, but toss slaughterer, or deflector for the time being on it and it'll carry you fine
not primarily for special. for me, its for toughness
because i run quietitude
ah true, wasnt thinking of that
For illisi you for sure want slaughterer, it's very nice, other options moreso if ya don't have that
I think illis don’t need anything besides slaughterer so I do deflector but the interaction with soulblaze and unstable power is interesting
slaughterer is #1 blessing
but i like unstable power on illisi because with a high peril build it can shore up the single target damage "weakness" of the illisi
ideally, you run both unstable power and slaughterer
I got a good slaughter/shred one and a good slaughterer/deflector one, def use the latter more, but both nice, wish I could get my bloodthirsty on one with slaughterer to try that out, but no luck there
What's the deal with Obscurus? Looks like illsi
Would clear up bigger dudes like crushers if there's other dudes to swing through too, and that special gonna be good for toughness regen too with absorpsion
deimos and illisi outclass obscurus
so there is no reason to use it
unless for whatever reason you just really personally like the obscurus
Never liked the obscurus for anything more than deflector stuff
And the special was okish, but new ones just way better for that shit
I know what's getting cast into the fire rn
Cast int into the fires of Mordor
I got me a deimos with like gutted ass 22 warp resist, honestly prefer that over good warp resist on that
Get that warp unleashed going
Yeah, I want to get myself a low warp resist illisi for warp unleashed shenanigans with my shredder pistol build
if oyu want a low warp resist one for warp unleashed, take unstable power too
Of course
Deimos is fun, I prefer illisi, but different swords, different tools, and more variety
Hmm... does unstable power proc when wielding other weapons?
only on DOTs
no
like from purga, or ascendant blaze
Ah, for existing damage effects
if you have sword out
the weapon must be equipped
cross-weapon blessing interactions were patched out a while ago
I just hope that deimos rolls good upgrading it, I want me my magic thunder hammer for fucking off those big boys
So, eh, probably slaughterer + deflector
rip
Most times I'm spamming special for autopistol. I'd rather have the peril available for special use when using melee
peril quells so fast
then you have battle meditation
which procs all the time when you're swinging into hordes
if you are running a high peril build with warp unleashed, it's a no brainer to run unstable power, unless oyu really, really, really fuck with deflector
I feel targetted
shrug maybe your rng is better. I don't see meditation proc very often when swinging into a horde
at least I have a purge staff now XD
Surge staff is meta what are you smoking
everyone knows the worst psykers always bring a fucking voidstrike
the trick with surge staff is not to use it
Illisi still OP even without slaughterer
you should only use surge staff on elite/special groups, and sometimes shooters behind cover
i see way too many psykers using surge staff al lthe time, o neverything
and it's such a wate
surge staff psykers really should be using melee (ideally illisi) 80% of the time
i like the male seer voice
the noobiest psykers i have encountered in game use the male seer voice
Especially when we have the illisi now too, which makes surge so very fun to me, that thing fucks off all hordes, anything bigger you surge up
the best psykers i have encountered tended to use the male savant voice (african)
yeah cuz funny schizo voice
and then theres the loner once in a blue moon cuz someone is crazy enough to listen to someone who
- has an annoying voice crack-prone voice
- is an insufferable narcissist
and they either play bad with meta stuff or good with terrible stuff
this was a very fun mission
i play female loner
trauma/illisi with peril resistance and hi intensity
i only ever hear male loners
so many hordes to rip through
never female
and team grabbing all the plasteel 
Think I'm female savant? It's the foreign accent one
Yup, French.
female loner has foregin accent too
I recommend laspistol with ghost, and the fullauto mod.
Other builds are fun, psyker has the best build variety out of at least zealot and vet if you ask me
Can't state ogryn cause not 30 yet, but I'd bet the same opinion will be had
pretty much
All the staves are viable and different,, gun psyker exists and is fine (least before last patch, haven't checked in on it since) and you got both illisi and deimos over the standard antax/duelnig stuff
ogryn meta is gorgo stubba with either a power maul or mk 3 cleaver
gg till i die
am i crazy for just not giving 2 shits about stamina curios
While psyker meta is literally any staff you're good with or the gun, and either of the 2 force swords
no
life is just nicer when u dont have 3 stam man
They have a use on psyker, not much anything else
cuz its like i feel like theyd have use on zealot when i think ab it
If the game don't use stamina for running, it might be interesting
if you use kinetic deflection, there's not much a need for stam curios
Stated only by the run and gun fanboy
You take more damage when running, you bet your ass I don't run around when there's heretics to slay
ive never swapped off that lvl 20 one
you take more toughness damage while running, but that's not particularly impactful
or can also take 0 damage from ranged while running if you do it right
better to double time to enemies faster and whack them with melee
this is my first day with run n gun but I can't denie the fact lol
the proper argument is that getting shot at while running will stagger you
I still think one is good. Basically doubles your block efficiency and makes running better, too
Point is when I need stamina to block bullets n such, my stamina is full, not all being gone from running about
dodge slide
agree
literally gaming
"when I shimmy my way over there, I am gonna kick your ass"
sick move
idk, whenever i try to do something similar, i get my ass turned inside out
And in said clip, little stamina is used on the sprinting
oh I didn't realize your argument was about sprinting
eh
the stamina is for pushes and giving a buffer against blocking
someone please congratulate me on my new Illisi, tha-anks
I still am not sure what button I want dodge on, feels ok on shift, but I like it more on space, though I do nooot like jump and dodge on the same
So then jumping gets fuckier
since I don't input my pushes perfectly, so there's a small timeframe where I can get hit while pushing
when I didn't have my +3 stam curio, I got guardbroken much more often
shit psyker
let his peril go down
shit psyker shit psyker
POINT AND LAUGH
What is this heresy?! Do I need to call for the inquisition 😂?
My argument was against "stamina curio being less big because it is used on sprint too"
ive literally had to rewire my brain from other games to have my hand crab-claw shift around on my keyboard to be able to hid those slides with shift lmao
Dodge on space, jump on left alt
so we're on the same side
this is what i run
Good idea, I'll try out that layout
though I still disagree with significant stamina being used with deflector
I was running space for both till I got too annoyed at accidently jumping when I wanted to dodge
it will 100% get you killed
I always forget that sword have infinite dodge and usually dodge with my Trauma either clear the horde or get hit by fat dodge 😂
Putting it on alt isn't too far of a move for jumping, and jump is not used nearly as much
How is the dodgeslide performed?
For real. The reason I changed it
dodge -> hold your crouch for a bit
I tried it on ctrl, but I got soundboard stuff on that, so it just blasts those
nope; sliding can be initiated from either a sprint or dodge
only in this game will my finger position swap to this for a split second lmao
😱
Eww... control
there's a minor mechanical difference in that you need to hold your crouch for a bit; whereas with sprint-sliding, you only need to tap crouch for an instant during your sprint to initiate a slide
I put sprint on my mouse thumb button and crouch on shift
Ido the reverse of that
just be warned that dodge-sliding counts twice towards your dodge limit
i have ping on my upper thumb button and alt weapon use on the lower thumb button
Force sword moment 
chad infinite dodges
so those buttons out of the question for my mobility
I have sprint/dodge on Shift and crouch on C
i moved it OFF of space for a reason tho lmao
o
Ctrl is sprint for me and Shift is only dodge
yeah i have my jump on ctrl atm (don't tell anyone) cause i wanted to see if i could double bind and it worked so i never changed it back
it's funny to just electric slide all over the place
Well so it doesn’t matter with FS?
I get to play on controller and have my jump button the same as my dodge button >:)
FS don't have dodge limit
yup
It doesn’t, but it stops me from spamming it
but still took stamina on slide
but it is something to keep in mind with your staff/brainburst
i was using this for a time but i found that mistiming a dodge makes you jump and that was getting me in trouble in hordes
I’m surprised they didn’t mention in the patch notes how they lowered max spin speed for ranged weapons on controller sensitivity
They removed my ability to spin at Mach 1 in elevators
maybe they reckoned it was too stronk with purg
Controller lol
yay finally got slaughterer 4
Beautiful
if that thing didnt came with +1 stam and weak spot it would be so good
jealous
on every other weapon yes but weak spot is not super bad on deimos cause the weak spot modifier is so high
MANKAR, COMPLIMENT MINE TOO
running 2x health 1x 3 stam curios
REEEEEEE
I have a similar illisi that has Stam locked and it feels nice
So do i
but deimos on second heavy the extra dmg from weak spot hit is +435
I need the validation
8% from that isnt too bad
Mankar hates me confirmed
I haven't seen your sword
it was buried by dodge slide talks 😦
rolled it up from a green in the shop a few minutes ago
It's pretty good
that's all I need in my life
Would be amazing if it had unstable power 4 over deflector
I can go suicide in a high-intensity now
well, it was either roll off Deflector, or roll off Exorcist, so
perhaps I'll find one some day with both Slaughterer and Unstable. Time will tell
le pogue 
They didn’t because it slows your turning down
At least it did for the flamer

Controller in a FPS, lol
Deal with it :)
I don't have to
Not what I meant but okay
I’m doing fine with it anyways
I’m going to check if the spin speed cap was somehow connected to the aim assist setting because they did change that
Yeah, I just find that after playing a FPS on m+kb, trying any FPS on a controller just feels like alternately trying to swim through molasses, or trying to thread a needle, no inbetweens
Fair, it is about finding the sensitivity you are comfortable with and getting good with it again
Learning curves and skill decay and all that
But watching the mortal keyboard users try to replicate the consistently fast and constant spinning I could do was nice, and now it’s gone
You respected me?
Besides, I’m not trying to make arguments about the parts of the game where pinpoint accuracy is needed anyways
My problem is that my comfortable look speed was too slow to properly aim, and I couldn't handle the speed of fast aiming. No win situation, haha
Move your mouse in a circle. Tons of SPEEEEN
But that takes much more effort than moving a joystick to the right and holding it there
shrug it's all elevator shenanigans anyway
Alternatively, learn to mod and create a mod that has a button that sets my sensitivity to 10.0 and then back
If turning off the new aim assist doesn’t work
Also apparently spinning as fast as I did also made the character’s waist become twisted as heck
According to reports from my teammates
Sounds about right
Dancing DRG dwarves breaking their spine because they drank a beer all over again
i am
so so upset
was finally getting close to clearing my first hi-shock damnation
and the internet started being fucky
and since i play via geforce now, that means input lag and >144p screen
