now im down 45 minutes and nothing to show for it, not even the triumph of completing it
i just lost a hi5shock
the refinery one?
sucks, because people left my stats git eaten
yeah
my name is Mai
but where is Mai? gone cuz leavers
bot took priority somehow
4 score 
also pretty peeved i cant get that mod
so i just have to guess if im carrying my weight or not
Eh I never use the mod
Therefore I am always carrying
It’s like the saying goes
“I think, therefore I am”
And no that’s not how you use the saying kek
also this is what that final section looked like on my screen lmao
god damn
even more pissed cuz i DIDNT DIE DURING THAT SECTION
even with that
i literally was forced to BB the whole time and spam ping cuz otherwise i wouldnt know where enemies were
using any peril generating action in that environment is a power move
I'd be afraid of rubberbanding into a perils explosion
if that were me
i just lost from a mutant jumping up and down a balcony and it kept throwing me back
lmfao
legit perma cc'd
not like i had a choice
when I feel like I'm about to get 2014'd I mash push attack
i had an antax but i wouldnt have been able to tell what was around me lol
with antax
I have a question. Does "Damage" stats in Pergatus also effect the fire or only bonk damage
The fire does direct damage but also applies dots
It’s a dump stat because the variance is small
direct?
oh = =
so 99% of damage calculate on Burn, right?
Like I believe a 0% is like 9 dmg a tick and a 100% is like 11 dmg a tick
when enemies are in the purg staff right click aoe they take a small amount of damage at (fairly rapid) intervals of time in addition to the soulblaze dot that's being applied
You want burn and cloud radius and yea
I think the dump dump stat is like warp resist or quell speed or something
so this staff is quite good?
it's not 99 but it's probably 90+
yes
yes
40% make it look stupid by the number lol
is this dagger any good
knife is a meme
knife on psyker is a massive meme
Letter opener then
if you use knife on psyker you have to also use revolver and prison garb
and +3 wound curios
Knife in general is a meme
Save for Vet, where it's pretty much the only mobility option
.
Is that not what I said lol
I'm guessing one of the tac axes?
Forgot they exist lol
Kek
I read that as "knife on Psyker is a meme" followed by an emphasis on how big of a meme it was ||I'm very stupid||
generally, yeah
but if oyu want the most damage possible, you actually want warp resistance to be low
like this
Ah ok, thank you 🙂
low warp resistance makes it easier to raise your peril, which gives you more damage from warp unleashed feat, and unstable power blessing
Yeah that makes sense
Guys which psyker voice is the best
the worst psykers i have seen in game
tended to use the male seer voice (the my beloved guy)
take that for what you will
the best psykers ive seen in game, tend to use male savant (african guy)
if you want to be verbally abused by as many characters, go for the loner
truly experience being a freak
male loner is best and it's not even really close
that npcs on the mourningstar are nice to me, as female loner
Ended up with this
Slaughterer 2 is the best I have atm, will replace it when i get a higher tier
pretty good roll
you can use that for the entire game if you want
replace block eff. w ith maniac damage
Will do when i get more crafting resources 😄
with maniac damage, you will be able to one shot muties in the head
with the 2nd heavy stab
Nice
(without charging up the weapon special)
you dont have to dodge them anymore
jsut let thme come to you
and stab
ded
which is VERY good for hi-intensity shock troop gauntlet
This is the story of a Force Sword which was rejected even before arriving. However, this shiny blade proved us all wrong with the mighty speed of warp and a jab that hits like a truck.
here's a video showcasing the tech
when you got 2-3 muties running around
i might be actually insane but i thought i once read that headshotting with the purg does more dmg, but i have no idea if thats the on apply dmg or actual burn dmg
there are weakpoint damage hits but the difference is minimal, like 3-5 more so idk if thats what they referenced
You cannot weakpoint with the Purg staff ... ... unless you mean the melee on it.
You -can- Crit. Which does more damage on the tick and applies bonus stacks for faster stacking up to the cap
You cannot weakpoint with flames. Crits only
I love my Deimos. Shut your mouth D:
redditors lied to me
not a first just surprised how often they get me
people on that website make their own luck
You’d think that because of the slower response times of Reddit people would take more time to compose more meaningful responses
Maybe at least double checking their information or something
holy shit i am about to have an aneurism, why do people hold on to medipack so fucking long
i saw this man at deaths door and he just does not use it
boggles me
I think it may be because people don’t like to use it just for themselves
May feel selfish
imo id prefer them use it then and not die in the middle of a firefight causing us to have to rescue them
even when people were around 2/3's or so he just hung on
... so I got bored
but i get where youre coming from
Hey, I get it. Don’t need to tell me it
And decided to do more Wildfire testing. Like proper testing after playing with it for so long.
And... I am sitting here
Watching it Burn the small Unarmoured pack non-stop for about 5 minutes without any player input >.>
im just salty is because we wiped >:(
They're still burning, as a matter of fact
I get that. I’m still salty that FatShark lowered the turning cap for controllers while holding a ranged weapon
ew
when are we letting hadron swap one pair of stats again
could've been the ultimate stroker man
317 ....
Ew because controller?
Yes I think
yup
Hm what curio setup do we recommend
Its pretty spread across the board what people use. Most swear by toughness regen though
Yeah Ive got toughness health and stamina at the mo
I feel like I need the stam for reviving
one stam curio is real real nice if ur not running peril block
otherwise toughness gang 
1 Stam curio is nice just for the extra shove
just take the peril block trait for reviving
Oh yeah Ive been meaning to switch from move while vent
FatShark please bring back force sword deflector working during revivals
if you still want better reviving you can roll revive speed
triple revive curio users are literally the single chadliest chads in tertium
no question
I feel like this is better on Ogyrn buddies though
best on zealot 
psykers revive pretty well too
vet has nadespam too
zealot can do the same thing if they take the immunity to hitstun feat
reviving is for everyone
75% toughness dr also pretty good for revives it turns out
vet doesnt need revive speed as much cause they have so many nades
2
Put the blessing on 2?
Yes.
You mean the explosion?
Proximity. You can test it in Psykhanium
Blow yourself up for days
... that was a much longer fall than I expected
I’ll do you one better. Try spawning inside the floor of the dropship
Learning from Bardin. Gotta protect the Dongliz
that's where I store my warp charges
No stomach armor
I keep my pringles there ... ... ...
https://youtu.be/03jSHR6Pt6I
I swear after getting my staff all pimped out the game became such a breeze
Groin protection was taken into sports before helmets were a thing. Gotta have your priorities right.
It's basically a bolter on steroids that doesn't need reloading
Warhammer armour works by anime rules. 99% of hits on protagonists are to the shoulders, hence the huge pauldrons
the psyker subconsciously redirects all attacks towards the groin area
hence the heavy fortification
Also it’s entirely useless unless reinforced by plot armor
For anyone not a main character the armor is useless
Gotta earn that 4+ save
Glorious Nippon T'au steel
Tau keeps reminding me that I want more of Commander Farsight
What if those could detach and become handheld shields for melee though?
Imagine being Tau and going like "You know what, I'm going melee"
His codex sees regular updates.
Like when the enemy is getting into melee range just take off your Pauldron and use it as a shield
I'm not into the tabletop. I just read general lore and play Darktide & Warhammer 3 from the fantasy side.
I would be into tabletop if painting was a skippable step
Last 40k games I played was Space Marine & Dawn of War 2
Those are probably the last good 40k games since DT anyway
I couldn't stand 3. Having that super-low camera angle on an RTS set me off... .. badly
Well Battlefleet Gothic was also good
Dawn of war 3 was garbage
There was an online community that was built during the pandemic where you can play it with virtual pieces using the Tabletop simulator I think
Dawn of war 2 was so good imo. I had so much fun playing 3v3 in that game
I finished one mission and just though
This is so incredibly shit, what happened
Never played it again
Hell. I played 40k on Second Life using shitty proxies once upon a time.
I remember the early days of DoW 2... back when Hive Tyrant had Free Hormagaunts and Termagants from brood nest... ... and fielding MASSIVE armies in 3v3's. I'd lose, certainly, but shit was fun
lmao
I remember people playing tyranids as either melee blobs or ranged blobs
one well placed AOE ability and you'd kill the most of them
Well you had to due to Synapse and Adv. Synapse boosts
I once made a tyranid guy ragequit by dragging all his troops back with my warlock lord ability, then d-cannoning them all into a singularity
wiped 80% of his army in that go
I had the widest fucking smile on my face
Eldar were so fun in that game
A single missed grenade though and you tended to die...
Yeah, once Raveners hit the field with Devourers things tend to melt
yep
Still, using D-cannons against those massive tyranid blobs never got old
so much fun
Good times
Or when you play chaos and saw the tyranid mass retreat, just pop an ult into the retreat path

I have so many fond memories of that game
goddamn
Anyone play black crusade
I did not partake
Retribution was the worst campaign of them all
original and chaos rising were the best ones
But I want to play Dow2 imperial guard >:(
It's still pretty much just hero based
We need a Warhammer 40k other video game channels
Dang
Mythical beings
I’ve played the base game campaign once
I ask about black crusade because my province is under siege from a tidal wave of chaos marines and big quadruped vehicles and I’m not sure what army composition defeats that
As imperial guard
@blazing oak If you haven't played Gladius that's a fun one
I have it
❤️
I’m terrible at it
Defilers? They're basically dreadnaughts. Same effective counters
so it's prolly very different now.
No I get that. Sentinels destroy the quadruped vehicles. I just don’t have enough plasma guns to deal with the tide of chaos marines
So I’m wondering if to go for more artillery or heavy weapons squads
Fighting Marines isn't always about killing them outright. Sometimes you just need to abuse their limited map presence and go for objectives. Autocannons tend to do work if you don't have a lot of plasma though
means you're bad
he got me
also three revives, though that doesn't show atm
Let me set the stage. I have basically infinite requisition and my power is not quite there but I have enough time to make it there. Problem is I need to destroy their bases, but when I do, a giant just sea of chaos marines blocks me and pushes back
I had to keep kamikazeing my way toward gunner squads beacuse the other psyker was flamer and the veteran for whatever bizarre reason didn't target gunners
damn. perks are bad
other psyker was good. Just... not able to help with gunners because of purgatus
but the stat roll is great
really nice stat roll
Auto cannons are the heavy weapons squad upgrade right?
buy then hope fatshonk changes locks later
Bricked kekw
It would probably be healthier for the game if FatShark found a way to take out the rng but keep in the different stat distributions
I feel your pain
Oh, are you talking about the tabletop or the DoW campaign?
Still can’t believe we don’t have a boss raid mode where 8 or 16 players fight 2 or 4 space marines
SMH
why do u need 16 players
No the Dow campaign.
Black crusade
16 people in an fps for a raid
Wait shit
Cuz 16 players funny kekw
I always say black crusade when it’s dark crusade
where there are not even designated roles
Welp this axe is kinda cursed
It would be fun
@unreal dust DoW Dark Crusade, sorry
But 16 bolters
rashad is always cursed
@blazing oak I actually kind of want to go back to dawn of war 1
the campaign was fire
Never played the original
only 2 classes can use bolters
Just dark crusade
I mean all the campaigns in that are good
16 autopistols
Seriously we kind of do need a channel for other 40k video games
If we had enough people I'd want to run 3v3 games in Dawn of war 2
that shit is FUN
nah
you have your set base, a hero and then you build units.
then you fight over three strategic points for victory points and other resource nodes.
What’s the difference from dow1?
slaughterer or unstab pwr with deflector on force swoard
Alright
?
lmao
sluaght
I'd say Slaughterer since you'd get way more Power faster than you would with Unstable Power
well said
well unstable you can be at 80% peril and swap to your melee
You do build power gens at nodes, but that's bout it (unless you go Techmarine like a douche)
And then you quell peril passively and it goes away alongside the 10% chance to remove 10% Peril every time you get a kill -w-
Is he using Illisi
illisi
if u have to pick one ya u take slaughterer
but id like to know deimos as well
but ideally u get both
alongside a autopistol
There are no situations I can think of where Slaughterer is not the preferred blessing. It's the Swift Slaying of Darktide
It just does too many good things at once
and also the number is just wildly overtuned
Yeah
Who knew that [significant damage buff for doing normal thing] would be good
No nerf slaughterer without compensation weapon damage buffs
Slaughterer blessing is the Diamondback from Tf2 except without a downside
It also does so much more than just damage
Maybe explain that then
looking at buying this melk curio. i know alot of ppl run +1 wounds for dam. is it better than either of my current ones? or could it take wound spot?
Power increases dmg, cleave, and cleave damage. I feel like I'm missing something else too
im missing a tube
damage, cleave and stagger
didnt know that
Ah, stagger
dam
the overall damage boost is what increases the cleave damage
Slaughterer needs alternatives before they can even think about nerfing it. It is literally one of the only blessings that adds any significant power boost right now. Nerfing would just be a net loss for everyone as it stands now
it doesn't increse distribution %s
this isnt worth buying
For real. All the numbers for 75% of blessings need to go WAY up
while i personally prefer having an additional wound my best advice is to try several runs with it and see if you like the additional health, although if you are playing psyker it is "easier" to maintain toughness although i may be speaking out of my ass on that
Should literally be 100% reload speed increase
If they nerf slaughterer without buffing chaxe power there’s gonna be sadness
Deflector 🥰
i feel like snipers are the one thing that mess up my runs. is it better to buff toughness, rather than health?
The slide reload blessing is cool I just keep forgetting to use it before I run out of ammo in the clip
It's cool, but the number needs to be bugger
It's a meme
Snipers auto deplete toughness. It has no part of their damage calc
^
and whoever of the devs made it has a huge trollface
unless ur a veteran
I want to be able to slide reload my bolter in 1 second! Woo!
i just make sure to be extra careful to not get hit but it does happen occasionally
in which case u can shamelessly tank snipers 
they deal 10x toughness damage
lol
the other property is that if any of their damage touches your HP at all, it will dump the full damage onto your HP regardless of your toughness
My veteran has 300 toughness and I can tank a sniper shot easy with F up
so it's all or nothing
For real, slide reload is on all the weapons that don't need it
with loads of toughness left
v*t
you can tank sniper shots with toughness
If you leave the helbore on the last stage of reloading it’s faster to switch to it and fire then normal switching
they will fuck u up
how often do you get hit by snipers??
more than i die to other things
not about how often, when they do its game changing
fair
in my case, often
i'm extremely bad at noticing things in my vision if they're not large
Just play sniper gauntlet with a flamer and you’ll learn to git gud at snipers
Really.........I've done testing with it and adding toughness to my psyker has no effect on the damage snipers were dealing to health
simply dont get hit guys 💁♀️
it's just a weird mechanic
cuz psyker has no dr
if your toughness is broken, they'll dump their full 122.5 damage onto you
(its also melee reduction)
Watch Can't see sniper TOO BRIGHT :( and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
????
yeah
is it actually bugged?
is there any source of ranged toughness damage reduction in the game
not really
they all say it
nope, it doesn't exist
Does vet ult perk not work?
it's all
they probably didn't implement it
it does its just all damage
not just ranged
So it's like I just said with an exception towards veteren
there is a couple things that just like
don't exist
ranged damage reduction is one of them
close range power is another
Oh, is that another lie?
u ever think about how martyrdom doesnt give power
Close range power is just power?
Give me my navis armsmen class where I’m incentivized to shoot point blank shotguns into folks
I mean ranged toughness Dr exists for psyker
it is just close range damage
dawg
so at least it's partially right
Oh, so wrong keyword, right range
Nope, it's just all toughness damage
the fatshark touch!
fatshark description-itis
maybe they wanted it to work that way but never got to actually implementing it
I think it's a combo of both across the whole game
I mean all toughness damage dr > than ranged only right?
Yeah, but it'd be nice to know
maybe, but then they'd have to balance around that
I hate ranged enemies more than melee enemies
Ok, cool... it's still not as strong as KD
my guess is they'll just change the description eventually
they are finally getting around to fixing the incorrect brittlenss vs rending descriptions
Yeah, I noticed
It really is interesting to have all these things that do stuff that’s not part of the description and having no idea if it’s intentional so every patch is a worry fest of “is this cool interaction going to be removed”
Is the zealot perk that stops you receiving ranged stagger intentional or am I gonna have to switch to holy revenant
I feel like they could hire 1 dedicated person to just unify their tool tip wording and correct things
After April patch
no idea
Like... their tooltips are probably just taken from a text file, I'd think
like I am pretty sure they buffed fire frenzy
but didn't change what it said it does
How`?
it was in the patch notes for one
hmm I missed that then
it does just say for shotguns and ripper guns
Shotguns and Ripperguns
Fire Frenzy blessing fixed and rebalanced across the tiers:
From 4/6/80/10% to 7.5/10/12.5/15% per stack (still max stacks of 5)
Dev Note: “Tier 3 was bugged and could stack up to 400% damage bonus!”
You get FatShark to give you one answer to a question: what is it?
What happened to the story; did we just get the cutting room floor scraps, and what was planned originally?
I personally think it got scrapped
Same
Judging by character creation, there are two opposing design directions for the character we play
It's quite clear we got the leftovers that they stitched together as best they could
One is the you are faceless and that’s the background choices. The other is the 12 personalities and they are pseudo vt2 heroes
No, it's quite clear they left blessing designs to the interns
while they were doing less than savoury things best left off social media
The blessings might be new additions after they scrapped the original crafting system
I personally think that's part of why the mission board is stupid and rng, but there's the occasional undertone of a story, like with the transmission mission vaguely being related to a traitor being on the mourningstar
If the blessings were not part of the original crafting system, it could explain how they were just trying to get what they could think of into the game before it came out
Leading to slide reload
I think they had multiple teams of people brainstorming blessing ideas without talking to eachother, which is why the numbers vary so wildly
And there was no balancing pass before release
I think you might be correct there.
Would explain a lot.
I would personally like it if the 12 personalities story thread overtook the personal reject story thread and the story became how the war changes and the 12 personalities are minor characters while the Zola morrow hadron and rannick are the major characters
I'd like any story?
You have any story
I watch level 30 cutscene so I can listen to Path of Trust music again
Lol, no we don't. We just have, "you suck, you suck a bit less, ok, you are accepted"
I disagree
Did not specify length or quality
The point I'm making is that what they threw together isn't even a story, it's nothing
The story is: you are a reject on the ship. While you do missions and gain more trust, you learn of a heretic on the ship. The search for the heretic concludes as you reach full trust and they are executed as you gain honorary inquisition status
It's 5 people telling you to go away and work, and then someone you don't know dies
That’s oversimplification of it
I honestly believe they're adding in narrative campaign later
The “story” I got was a reject that survived the odds and gained some respect while Rannick hunts down a heretic on the ship
they just didn't have time for it for launch
I mean 1984 was just about a guy and a girl trying to have sex and coffee and getting caught
was it coffee
The story started, then went nowhere and ended with unrelated plot points
No not really
You became an honorary inquisition member
That’s not really super unrelated
gets called
"who are you? why are you even here?"
The traitor thing. There should have been literally any player involvement. There was none, hence unrelatedness
impeccable writing
you don't know that we were summoned toegether
clearly we were bait
You gotta think of the bigger picture, not just the cutscenes in the middle of the level up process
To understand that the bad story they told was still a story
Even if it was bad
If they wanted a "bigger picture" then they need to add a "bigger picture"
we need a picture first
That is not what I meant and you know it
I get what you're saying, but I disagree that it qualifies as a story
or maybe a frame to put said picture in cause there is no frame work for a story either
There's 1 cutscene talking about a traitor, then later 1 cutscene where they die
its two small sections cut from a story and then called a story
That’s not the entire thing though
We don't even know what they were traitoring about other than a chaos mark
It’s a subplot of the story stapled onto the original plot given by the prologue
Stapled badly
why are they traitoring, who are they traitoring? HOW are they traitering
I DEMAND ANSWERS
They had the start of story with us getting on the morningstar, and the end of a story, with us getting officially accepted. No middle ground because every in between cutscene was just various characters calling us trash
At least they do introduce the melk and hadron stations though
I felt like the Mazozi cutscene was weird
Hold on dornam there is character development
Its too late in the leveling for her to treat us like we're comeplete strangers
In one hadron cutscene the reject is late, in a later hadron cutscene the reject is early!
Character development!
She still tells us she wishes she got to have us killed
the reject late cutscene isn't a part of the leveling experience
its the cutscene tied to unlocking the "crafting" system
That’s tied to the leveling though
well no you see
I had all my characters at 30 before the crafting was unlocked
not leveling
Was that in the beta?
not initially no
Because creating a new character it says that the shrine of the Omnissiah opens at level x
i feel like mazozi has no reason to have such a high station in darktide like she does. is she the leader of the flight division? all we know is that she is a pilot. what authority does she have
that always confused me
I assumed she was important because she seems to give us some of the mission briefings, but i have no idea why either
She seems to be acquainted with morrow and Zola so maybe it’s favoritism
do people actually think there is or is going to be a """story""" rather than the digital analogue to flavor text
no
She makes bets with Rannick (if she's telling the truth) so I imagine she's just an invaluable pilot
i mean i guess, but a pilot shouldnt be acting as our mission commander right? so she has to have some station of authority RIGHT?
The best I think we'll get is a couple of added cutscenes that weren't finished on release
Isn’t she called wing commander by someone?
I'd wish for a total revamp... but I'm not hopeful
any resource spent on storytelling in a game like this is a resource wasted, hope they don't
I always found it weird we don't speak in any cutscene past the prologue
THE ONLY REASON WE EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE SHIP MISTRISS IS IS BECAUSE OF OFF HAND DIOLOGUE. THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE
Granted we don't say much in the prologue either but atleast it was something
That'd require more voice acting! We can't afford that, don't you know?!
Maybe mazosi has the station of being our reject squad assigned pilot
They have a pilot for each reject squad or something
they're all masozis
That’s why she didn’t recognize us
We went up to the wrong clone
During the cutscene
like every bartender in loa is a different person all called neria
oh god we have the nurse joy of pilots
an entire flight division of weird neoafrican gambling addicts
Mazozi is actually Tzeentch
We are in a simulation
if every mazozi is a wing commander, who is the wing commander commander?
Morrow probably
Morrow Zola and rannick are the only real humans that are not us
Everything else is a clone
Everyone else is alpharius
i love how the random ass convicts know more story details about the important figures than we do
It’s to make casual players want to know more about 40k
they should in no way conceivably know jack shit about marrow
Eh. My loner psyker I think believes the morrow stuff is just hearsay
I heard he fired the shot that gave old one eye it's name!
I think it’s rumors
You know what it is? It’s probably mazosi running her mouth during card games with the rejects and then the rumors spiral from there
fair enough
Not totally, the psykers know he's old old
What if all the info is just psykers reading the mind of morrow and rannick and then it goes from there
the psykers read minds, if the convicts are all talking they all know
very easy for them to just handwave with psykers involved
literal magic, shut up etc
Rannick looking at indomitus reports = talk about that from psykers = Ogryn hears that while walking around = Ogryn brings it up during mission
So... ... I'm ready to be a Wildfire Stan. I have decided I like it over Warp Battery for my Hi-Shock runs. (Purg+Deimos)
Consider: Warp Battery only works at 6 stacks, Wildfire works all the time.
This also frees the Psyker up to take Aura over Communion
In the madness of Hi-Shock, it allows a single line of sustained fireto clean up the 'fringes' of an inbound horde that normally spread as the horde's leading edge staggers and forces rear poxwalkers to spread around.
at least vermintide 2 didnt pretend there was a story that was happening that didnt exist
darktide doesn't either, only knuckle dragging redditors do
which one to choose surge on void strike or a good duelling sword.
I dont have enough for both :C
people use duelling swords?
surge, or just wait a day
What do you use currently?
dueling swords are pretty much completely overshadowed by the new deimos sword
lol
in the 41st millennium there are no dueling swords
only duelling swords
which are similar, but less literate
ewww deimos
I'm purgatus staff rn
surge is kinda bad
Maan I'm tilted, our team threw at the comms plex finale. We started with two psykers and two vets, the other psyker left and got replaced by another vet.
Two vets couldnt stick together and we got taken out one by one by a horde with shotgunners and a mutant. One of the solo vets and myself did the carrying, I was using a revolver lol, I think that might have been why psyker left, we wasn't around for long.
I don't think ds are bad, just overshadowed
surge staff is great
deimos is just cracked
meta even
fuuuu both sour milk and brunt only have dueling swords and auto guns
I mean duelling sword has been B tier ever since they hard nerfed movement tech
OH! the Blessing. Thought you meant the staff
that was like
Surge Blessing is okay... ... but it needs to pair with Nexus for more crit chance to shine
was about to say
there's no point in me playing my zealot anymore
the best option would be to wait for a reroll tomarrow
as a mobility stick + specialized antimaniac tool they were completely fine after the nerf
this is on my psyker melee wannabe-zealot build
mkv in particular
surge blessing being mid is like about as milque toast of a take you can get
i can do more damage than zealot, and take less damage than zealot
they just decided to make something that did that but more
ok I will buy the surge and bank it for now
thats a....thats some serious overkill damage there. what in the world you hittin those poor people with
The wraith of god
those poor heretics
Yeah, that's what I expected. Shame you didn't get Bloodthirsty on it
i dont want bloodthirsty
i am a high peril build and benefit 1000% more with unstable power
Why wouldn't you for Illisi?
... 5% bro
bruh
That's a terrible damn tooltip!
first time psyker?
5% is 5% tho 
cries in the corner
welcome to fatshark land
don't worry we explain it to someone new every day it feels like
unstable power is 2nd best blessing, right behind slaughterer
Welcome to the English language more like it
bloodthirsty is mid in comparison
3rd, right behind deflector
It used to be better, but they decided "yeah that perk which gives you 5 seconds of crits? make it one hit"
so yeah
bricked
i am not going to rank deflector because it's just a neat utility
Deflector is a hot take
it's a preference
Sad they remove the 5sec crit thing, never got to use it
don't call my pre-patch bloodthirsty jank >:(
old bloodthirsty on illisi would be s tier
it was meh on obscurus. it had terrible attack patterns and couldnt actually make use of the 5s crit window very well
No lie after using the bug deflector, deflector kinda go hard, yes it a clutch but sometimes shit happen and blocking range help shit not go down bad
you absolutely could have made use of it
That surprise Shotgunner at the corner, yeah
5 seconds was enough to build 5 slaughterer stacks off of dreg bruisers
as much fun as it was, it was destined to be brought in line with the rest of the Bloodthirsty blessings for other melee weapons
"in line" as in useless and never taken kekw
Stalker spawning from the abyss 
GREAT USE OF IT
Stalker?
HAPPY?
still great as long as you stuck to the light->heavy combo
it would have been power sword all over again if they had left it at 5s
fuck the deimos
Scab stalkers, the guy with the smg lasgun (mostly get a few shotgunners with them)
exactly
Scab stalkers are the flak armored shooters that have no faceplate and have a bandolier
i like blood on illussy. let's me do special h1 into a crit h2. ill spam special h1 in mixed hordes
the fatass' deimos
but ultimately yeah it's not like a huge thing anymore
The “ussy” meme has lost all of its weird meaning
Never was funny, and now it’s something you just staple onto words without any rhyme or reason other than to indicate you have a positive opinion of it
as you should be.
People are weird, then again I'm weird too, I can't stop laughing at the mental pipe dropping meme...I think I have a problem
yeah im out
Diamantussy
you might
sometimes weird is good... but it isn't automatically good.
What's the issue?
shieldgryn
Shield oygrn
weapon elitism 
oof, toxic elitism, smh
No lie I wish fat shark buff the weapon just for me to have another reason to tell them to attack the horde and not just stand there
if you want a guaranteed fast win, should stick to Sedition missions
... what's the problem?
you cant tell me you've never sighed when you've seen someone use a bad weapon in damnation?
that way it doesn't matter who brings what, you'll steamroll it
Its base level Damnation. Who cares?
it's more than just the weapon
I can't blame mankar too much
usually those that bring it aren't in the know
It makes finding ones who do know that much more special. A good Shieldgryn, like an actually good one, is magical. I feel so safe.
fun to me = everyone is pulling their weight in the hardest game difficulty
Did a Hi-Shock clear with a Shieldgryn. It was amazing
nah, it's not bad
shieldgryn puts the weight into everyone else
that's not what you're being criticized about, though, either
Thing is I feel like a good shield ogryn would just not use shield but this is pure ignorance on me
The only time I sigh is when I’m playing surge psyker and another psyker rocks up with their surge staff
a good shield ogryn knows when and where to use that shield
most aren't good
and an impenetrable barrier can be situationally life saving
Playing surge psyker when another surge psyker is on the team is not fun for me
this is definitely iffy
i have zero trust in shield ogryns on my team
Double surge 
The one I played with wouldn't use it too often, but he'd post up corners at bigger rooms so I could pop off snipers and other massed gun packs.
me
with multiple psykers, it's important to balance out who is using what
almost all of them have just relied on shield and just did nothing whenever there was a fight
I gotta show this off https://i.imgur.com/EwgbAlG.jpeg
Triple and quadruple surge is a meme, but double surge is just see ya later and I want to disconnect
which isn't necessarily bad, but I'd prefer DPS output from my team
that's nice
Doubled up Psyker weapons is rough. Doable, but rough
i'm gonna be that guy who mentions hours. i have over 550 hours of experience in this game, and over that experience, i've learned that shieldgryn's cannot be depended upon in damnation
@feral vergeAgreed
700 hours
The shield blocking your own bullets makes them more of a hinderance
eh, you could always leave your team to avoid them blocking your bullets
I had a few good shield ogyrn but those shield user just never use special or rarely use it which made them 100x useless then most of them
Or just use a staff like a good psyker boi
Think he mean in general not just psyker
where would I go to get help with the psyker penances
yeah, it's not just the weapon itself. it's the user too who not always, but usually doesn't really know the game in-depth. for starters, if they did, they owuld know that the "pros" of this community have rejected the shield for several huge reasons
nothing wrong with it except maybe swap shred out
I've got nothing better atm and since power dirrectly correlates to damage now I'll have to keep it
The lfg channel #vox-lfg-nasa
ty 🙂
Shred isn't bad with the Illisi
because you attack quickly
It is absolutely the person yes. You can use the shield well, but you always notice the bad ones, never the good ones
no plasteel certified noob
in damnation, i think it's for the benefit of everyone to bring your a-game. if you want to have fun using whatever goofy/undercooked build of your choosing, take that into heresy
Isn't the illisi light spam good tho?
it is
why would you ever not heavy
motherfucker DO YOU SEE THOSE WEAPONS!?!?!?!
lmfao
is this why people think the obscurus is shit
Nah, charged heavy attacks on small units
nah, that's because the obscurus has a terrible moveset
i see 1 blue recon 
This well bring it over the edge for flak head enemies and stuff
Isn’t it more noob to have all the plasteel because it means you are refusing to interface with the rng
2nd heavy is still good
Maybe
It's because the delay between the power hit and the bang too i think
lights are good for fast hits
also crits having reduced power the 2nd target and beyond on normal attacks
sometimes u dont have time to charge up attacks
I one shot most small units to the head on damnation
I'm talking poxwalkers and stuff
for 2-4 targets, it's comparable since the cleave is really the only differentiator between lights and heavies
but for more than that, you should absolutely be using heavies
there is no excuse when pushing exists
or just spamming dodges
I suck at this game 
You can use a charged light to stun a crusher
And I don't really need more than one charged light and then combo'd heavy attack
their cleave distribution is meh but the cleave is good enough
And for some reason kinda went into the weapon as "heavy sword but for psyker "
Oh that sword needs to be charged at all times
That's why I use Warp Absorption with it
Not really its decent
its pretty bad compared to the others
hard disagree, but if you like it, that's fine
the other 2 have spammable lights that are usable in addition to horde combos
The moveset was the biggest turnoff for me even once I learn the optimal route
obscurus just has 1 combo that ur forced to use for everything
but performance wise, the obscurus was fine
It is the absolute worst force sword though
It was fine when it was all we had but now? I'll never use it
I haven't use it since the patch but they did buff it damage so
I agree that virtually every combo besides light->heavy sucks ass, but the light->heavy itself is fine
If it makes you feel better, the people here and on the Reddit are probably better than the average player so that most likely includes you
even that wasnt that great it was kinda slow sometimes
i got hit out of my heavy charge occasionally

Also people are victims of the Dunning-Krueger Effect I bet you're good enough
though I usually got my toughness back up fairly quickly
People really shaft psyker in particular
just spamming infinite dodges lets you avoid hits most of the time
thats what we call a "skill issue"
When I spam dodges it starts giving me a delay before I can dodge again with force sword
probably
And those who say that are what I call douchebags
So I start jumping because controller means dodge is jump buttons
just gotta time it or use a macro
It's true but explaining the shortcomings is productive while "skill issue lul" is insulting
Implying darktide needs skill? According to redditors and discorders darktide is a fking easy game who needs skill
Damnation high shock = vt2 recruit
Feel like people shot talk bb alot while I was over here like " I can fuck bulwark without losing my hair when playing zealot"
Shit*
Darktide's easy.
Playing public games is hard.
probably just players who started out as psyker and never played other classes
But now bulwark is fix so their stagger don't randomly reset
not knowing what it's like as a lasgun vet trying to kill a bulwark
Yeah. The game that rewards teamwork is much easier when the teamwork is utilized…
very hard game
Meanwhile a psyker with an illisi just destroys a bulwark in 1 hit
Psyker was my 3rd class (might as well be last since my ogyrn still level 7)

thats why Psword nerf is bullshit
@hollow spindleBro we were just talking about that, you're gonna get shat on lol
Like I give a fuck
Cleave damage
Simple as that
If you're on Vet that sword only comes out as a last resort
@olive ember We meed to go on a quest against the developers to make the accatran viable
You were talking about the illisi, check this out
When I got that sword I was ecstatic
I can imagine
i got it as a white so it was very risky
Dude, the first day I got to 30 on my psyker
I think Unstable Power is absolute garbage
?????
I want you to read Slaughterer's effect
I crafted these
And then Unstable Power
no need to BB bulwarks when you can lightning them
You'll quickly see unstable power's almost useless
Not everything i need slaugherer like buff
@ember hornet
maybe, but there's not much competition from the other blessings
Unstable power buff is more easy to achieve
unstable is quite good for 1 shot breakpoints
5% isn't enough to justify the slot space imo
While slaughterer need kill yknow
it's 20%
it's 5% per stack
not 5
20%
you get a stack at 20/40/60/80% peril

I like how quickly I can summon you lazor LMAO
It literally says "Up to 5% power"
fatsharked
It lied
Welcome to fatshark games
I just got back to being on discord, good timing
Well have one realizing that you're missing out on a great blessing
One day the recon will be great again
huh lazorr is in psyker chat 1 instead of psyker chat 2
a lot of stuff said up to x power before didnt they
how rare
Which blessing stacks? I've been talking about Unstable Power.
they just didnt fix all of the tooltips lmao
Unstable power
Shred stacks, slaughterer stacks
I'm not holding my hopes hight, but I want to cope.
look at the buff icons at the lower right when you raise your peril up
I al
oops lower left
