THIS IS FINE
It does, it makes difference between 1 shot and 2 shot
Skill issue
sometimes, but I usually fully charge my voidstrike for the cleave
you can also charge from cover and then pop out and shoot
so it'll one-shot shooters/stalkers anyways
so I don't find the damage bonus from weakspots too important except on elites
The best perk 
That is fucking ridiculous. But, Iāve seen people get upwards of 6k
Not bad not bad
i'd swap flak to maniac
^
Werd I had no idea. That'd sounds awesome plus: you get to have the rocket launcher
though it's really only for a split second
I just like the stagger since it's more guaranteed than dodge-sliding which requires me to kinda warm up for the timing
I see
also depends on the map section
I should prob compile a list of map sections that are good or bad for trauma
SMH so many psyker resources
also sounds like too much work the more I think about it
and most map sections good for trauma are also good for just dodge-sliding with melee
I want my peril Glock so that I can immediately swap off the trauma
I've been permabanned from reddit 12 times now
save some pussy for the rest of us bro
Only had it twice 
Though one technically doesn't count because I went to a subreddit I didn't post on to antagonize a moderator for deleting a guy's work saying it was AI and then saying the guy's art isn't art or something like that
Like, real twat shit
Equinox Mk III Trauma Force Staff
Me when I'm using greathammer huntsman and need to farm THP
Whhoops! I just dropped my super old Trauma Force Staff, boy this thing brings back memories. š„²
Welp. better get back to this game with my Zarona MkIII Stub Revolver, I need the practice!
MkIIa*
Its old, like old old, like I said brings back memories. š„²
crit is such a damn trap in this game man
Made me think you've been using it for awhile
As in you just dropped it for another staff
I literally haven't used this thing in months, it has so much figurative dust on it
After a long time
I don't understand why things with 0 crit chance have no crit scaling
like at least make it do the funny 1 in 20 times
do you mean -5% crit chance lol
to counteract your base 5% (besides veteran who has 10%)
maybe in the sense of making it do something meaningful when it crits
instead of just only like 10-20% crit damage
yes
crits on trauma are straight up only 50 more damage or so
:ooo
the difference in crit damage and normal damage is crazy on some weapons, like the deimos, its 100s okay
also, why does the emporer give me force staves? Im trying to get blessings for my guns.
Desire detector working as intended
ahh shit
revolver be like what if a crit weakspot did less to ragers than a crit, but a weakspot did much more than a normal
chad 2.3x weakspot/crit multiplier on force swords
in that screenshot 10% more crit damage to a 413 crit is 23.9 damage if it works like weakspot splits, otherwise its base +10% additional thats dependent on rng. i'd still rather take a +10% elites or +25% armor type
in regards to crit chance, that'd be 1.3% average damage per 1% of crit
assuming you don't hit weawkspots
not terrible for the force swords, though it could be better
they really should boost crits, and the stub revolver on top of that.
buuut, if they boost it to make it flat out better than everything else ... everyone would pick it right?
that's why weapons like the deimos exist, but it still needs help lol
crit damage already has some neutering in the form of crit dmg being reduced the 2nd and beyond target hit in a cleave
and having reduced effectiveness if you already hit a weakspot
so it's just very unusual that they make weapons have an extremely shitty crit dmg multiplier on top of that
actual triple whammy
something about finesse curve being nonsense for crit weakspot
having some kind of cap
crab knows more, idk how it works
Just got a 4 Psyker win on Damnation HI Shock Gauntlet
how many were using autopistol
Objekts uses one
2 of us
Least he did when I ran into him
the other guy was running Shredder + Knife
The gun is busted right now
you should downgrade, the autopistol is too strong for some people, use the Columnus mkV, the poor mans autopistol ... the rich mans shitter autopistol?
Columnus IAG š¤®
love the autopistol though, please dont nerf
maybe nerf pinning by 50%
Any dates on Mods ?
What do you mean
@rich rose
Cuz mods are already here
Fatshark is ok with mods so long as there's no blatant cheating or changing of weapon/model skins
Yeah I have a handful of UI mods that I put in last week after finally taking the time to do it and I'm very happy with it
I would like them to just tone down the stagger. A 1/4 second of firing shouldn't stagger a rager.
typical rager L getting staggered by basically everything
omg hi shock torrent, lets see how this goes >.< and im on my zealot
yeah, 5 hi shock is the one condition I haven't been able to be a winning game yet
have done everything else
should I replace unstable power with something?
anything but probably slaughter
if you're using obscurus for hordeclear, I'd replace it with slaughterer
I also wouldn't put unyielding on the obscurus
my team just got wrecked by 5 mutants lol
unstable is really bad duh
does brain burst still work for the 20 kills in a row
besides monstrosities, only Bulwarks and Reapers are Unyielding, and reapers have flak on their body which can be hit by aiming off to the side or feet with your special
yes it does!
i did it yesterday
just make sure not to use your ult as soulblaze may fuck it up
if you use ascendent blaze
skill issue moment š¦
you don't have a 50ms reaction time? smh
i kinda do wish the game had some i-frames on getting freed like in l4d2, though this game doesn't have friendly fire I suppose
honesty i just wish dog would just be deleted from the game
well im over reacting but man
i hate they just stagger you when moving near u, make them so janky to just be near with
and that they INSTANT jump when moving to you
feel like if they had a pause --> jump window it would be fine but they sometimes do that
i'm fine with them being able to transition into a pounce while running if they're running straight at you
but they can do that shit while running perpendicular to you
do 5 360 spin before jumping 
and when they stagger you and then decide to target you for a pounce, and you literally can't do anything because of the stagger
that my favorite combo
they run up to be 1cm near u, stun you then jump

and it seems to be a stagger specifically unique to dogs for some reason
I guess they figured that it was just too easy to camp dogs?
for some reason; but then it makes dog much more annoying in open spaces
i just rather VT2 assasin over this shit
dog feel like a huge coin flip on 5 different coins
unless i just use a super heavy stagger range like shredder
typical gunker W
I haven't used a gun for a while and got surprised at how dogs are so easy to deal with guns
where's my staff with a reactive primary/secondary
though I suppose the bolt LMB always staggers them reliably
still hate it
yeah the travel time for stave suck
and the minor delay on shooting
combined with ping
and the slow fire rate giving you practically no chance for followups
OR ENEMIES DUCKING BECAUSE THEY GET SUPPRESSED BY THE PROJECTILE
CAUSING YOU TO MISS YOUR SHOT
ping.....
lowkey been killing my mood for this game for a while now
getting so sick of hit reg
very hit or miss, and the game tends to have spikes with a bunch of enemies spawned
yeah i realize i like recon cause u can barely notice the hit reg
but then i use other heavier hitting gun and it just like
BRUH
simply perform lag compensation in your head
2 no hit headshots into instant supression/shield break
i can see that for moving target
it just wack it sometimes just no reg on standing till targets
my favorite is when something that should be staggered isn't
especially annoying when I LMB my trauma and it doesn't fire
and I reflexively let go of RMB since I would expect it to shoot
so my cast ends up not firing and being canceled
and I'm pretty sure it's eaten my cast even when I didn't let go of RMB
just fuckin poof into nowhere
or getting tackled by a mutant despite dodging early and seeing the mutant clear the area to my side
i wonder where their servers, seem to always be 60+ ping
I usually get 40 ping on NA west, though I live near a city that tends to house data centers
sometimes spiking to 100 ping when hordes spawn
muties are extra fun because they also have that tokyo drift 90 degree headass turn capability.
you foolish fool, daring to dodge near a corner
yes š¦
why did they prevent the mutant from having their tracking broken when near corners
what was the rationale
atleast muties work when it work but sometimes they track a bit too much near corners
like I'm fine with their sharp ass turning angles, but at least my dodge should work reliably regardless of map geometry right?
especially the corners which the maps are littered with
always funny thinking about this, cause that mean they should never be able to stun themself if they just follow the rule with corners
in theory. on paper. supposedly
Columnus mkV game, grey was a shredder vet, highest total score was an ogryn, and 3rd was a surge psyker ... to be fair most of the work seems to be from the Illisi
300iq pick a bad ranged weapon to force yourself to use your melee more
my only non joke guess is maybe they couldn't get it working right and it kept colliding into everything
lmao
that seems fairly reasonable as a patchwork fix
was sad to realize me and the other psyker were the only long range options with BB
ripper ogryn and shotgun/shredder vet?
shredder autopistol vet and grenade launcher ogryn
not too terrible at least
it was a regular damnation game on consignment yard
o consignment yard
honestly the amount of pugs i get where i seem to be the only one with armor capability is too damnation high
finally melee psyker as the founding fathers intended
such is the nature of having BB in our back pocket all the time
yeah, and it feels great
i can do more damage, and take less damage than zealots
once I can make time, I hope to try out a warp absorption illisi
if you want max damage, unstable power is the way
and meme soulblaze when i get it t4
christ i have dropped into 3 quick play hi 5 assassinations in a row where the team is just getting wrecked and I have about 10 seconds before I go down lol
warp absorption being that 10% toughness regen on warp kill feat
since I'm already insanely aggressive in my games
yeah you are tanky
im considering trying that on my zealot-wannabe build
I want to see how much of an idiot I can play into ranged enemies with that feat
warp absorb illy is hilarious. if youre getting shot at in a horde your toughness bar is just 0 > 100 > 0 > 100 > 0 > 100
i expect warp absorption to be extremely busted in finales like silo cluster
ranged enemies spawning? just special the horde next to you for free toughness
though slightly more painful than quietude for pushing across a map
we'll see, though
i ran warp absorption for a while, it is great on horde clears and such
you almost will never lose all your toughness
but in certain ranged/cover encounters its effectiveness lessens
I have had that happen enough times to consider the following pattern, as Iāve seen it myself.
1: group has poor horde clear or priority management, maybe also canāt stay in coherency
2: One guy is cocky, or unlucky, and gets picked off.
3: Team canāt save em, especially now that they are down one.
4: They spawn so far away and is so early in the mission that itās not worth sticking around for the āinevitableā. Leaves the game.
5: You join, mid-chaos and low morale. Instawipe in the confusion.

best blessings for surge staff and trauma staff?
guess I'll slap T4 deflector on that
reroll unarmored -> block efficiency
and it'll replace my previous tank sword
another day, another 5 psykers worth of melk shop devoid of t4 warp nexus
surely soon
surely
Praise the omnisiah
this could be promising

It's a surge staff
It do be surgin
I mean they will eventually buff surge to actually deal damage, hopefully
if it did first target damage to everything and hit a more reasonable number of things it could be good without a damage buff
with every """balance""" pass that comes and goes though it seems like it's one of the many things they just don't really think needs to be good
Like the eviscerator kekw
no vet two psykers
time to be disappointed
I'm using a surge staff too kekw
melk... so close yet so far
one day youll get your melkbux back
today is not that day
MelkCoin
Milkies
melkbux
Milkies
that sounds like some award you give you cows
that's one way of coping with melk's shop
Brunt > Melk and it's not even close
Me and my m8 brunt go out to the pub after a raid, melk stays at home and yells at his wife to make more crap
Babe it's midnight, time to make more shiny shit weapons
Yes dear
not the best stats, but shred + blazing spirit illisi w/ Soulblaze feats is nice. like crit dagger bleed build, but aoe
Bloodthirsty + Blazing Spirit sounds like a fun time too
oh yea that sounds dank
Still loving melk for giving me this yesterday
My collection is complete
Oh my god, a team that can stick together actually does exist.
Alright boys, I got a Ryzen 7 5800X3D to replace my 3700X, wish me luck that I don't bend a pin or something
I'm eager to see the performance gains
make sure you update your bios before you drop it on
Yup, the ROG Strix B450-F drivers are up to date
not drivers, bios, the micro code on the board, make sure the current bios actually supports that chip
other wise you'll have to swap back or do a bios flash using a usb key
not sure in your case, but i had a friend with an asus board that had to update his bios in serial between all the version to new because he couldn't make a bit jump for some reason
Possibly, because I can't see 5003
I'll just download them all and then use EZFlash as I go along
Well that's not a good sign, I can't even go to 4402
check the website, see if there is something between your current bios and 4402?
Nope, before 4402 is 4301
are you trying to do it in windows?
might need to actually do it in the bios itself from the updater there
No I'm doing it in my BIOS
did you rename the bios file?
the package comes with an exe you have to run to rename it so the bios can see it
yea, i donno why the do the renaming crap, they are the only mfg that does
Insert xkcd comic about standardising
or you know, just name all the bios files inside the zip correctly
Sure would be nice if I could also go back a folder on this thing too
Bleh still nothing
toss it on a thumb drive maybe?
Guess so
it renamed it for me to RX450FGM.CAP, do you see that?
also, do you have the b450F or the b450 f 2?
Former
cool
I'm sure of it, I checked the System Information too
yea, it says it in the bios picture you posted too
Thumb drive fixed it
nais
I wish I had such high tech
well I have the old fashioned ti84 but I forget to put batteries in it
so instead I just have the ti-34
psyker gaming
nice outfits
wow. i just got shredder with inspiring barrage 4
and it fucking sucks
why the fuck is it affected by the damage pause to toughness regen
like wtf
WORTHLESS
whats the best force sword now that there are 3 options?
š
And both are good for the other's niche, just not AS good
Illisi is great for hordes, good for single target, deimos is good for hordes, great for single target
Illisi is also great for toughness gen by rubbing one out with quietude or just warp absorption fucking into hordes
deimos has workable horde clear in lights and slaughter so its real nice on stuff like fire or lightning when you want the oneshots but also might need horde clear
I think surge staff is the BIGGEST contender for loving the illisi
cuz it's secretly coherency regen
that is so fucking stupid
Since it stuns big things in their footsteps but not great for horde clear, while illisi decimates hordes
very clear description I know
WHEN I SHOOT I WANT REGEN FATSHARK
Not as bad as you think, but not great yes
Obscurus is generally overshadowed by the other two force swords now
WHY IS THAT SO HARD
diemos and illi can both cover for each other so there isnt much need for a middle ground that cant do either as well
it really needs to work with no delay but is interupted by damage
having a pause that makes the blessing not work period is a farce
finally
finally completed a hi-shock damn
cuz the last time my internet died halfway into the final event
most of the time the server just breaks half way through and kicks everyone
The performance is insane
I'm getting an extra 10-20 FPS and my lows are about 50 FPS
nice
Let's see how it handles without FSR

was kinda sad that i wasnt engaging in it for like 1/3rd tho
mutant grabbed me against a wall and threw me to a ledge within line of sight of 3 gunners and 2 reapers, away from my team
Oh right I'm playing at 4K so performance is going to drag unless I use lower resolution at fullscreen anyhow
right at the break point to send me to the further spawn
and then a horde and a burgle showed up
It's Current Year dammit why is there no manual resolution scaling option built in
Didn't Vermintide 2 have a resolution scalar?
cause it has dlss and fsr
I'll put it to you this way, I'd prefer using a manually adjusted image scaling instead of FSR
you dont need to use fsr if you have an nvidia card, you can use dlss
DLSS introduces ghosting for me
install the latest dlss dll in the games folder
you can drop it into Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\binaries
now play the real mans gamemode
malice
low int
been doing that all day getting weeklys done
that rending on weakspot hit for force swords sounds good but what even would be worth using it on
It's a trap
brainburst the crushers!
+Power ftw
Too bad brainburst can't proc Superiority... =(
That could be useful...
#MeleeBlessingsApplyToBrainburstFTW?
just had a triple trauma team and we didn't even need to brain burst the crushers
I love a 2 trauma psyker team...
3 sounds even better!
50% better!
If one has rending shockwave...you can just melee him after he loses his armor =D
naked crusher
good gods why do i only get slugs when i'm trying to do the 90% health thing
is this good?
Surge is very good for voidstrike and useless for everything else. Terrifying barrage is useless and you should replace it
very good is a strong word
but is this a good temporary
surge with +crit perk and tier 4 warp nexus is still meh
Yeah. For perks you might consider a +% ranged crit chance roll to proc surge more often
without warp nexus not even close to worth
depends what you want to focus on, unyielding is things like bulwarks and bosses, maniacs is unarmored ragers, muties, and poxbursters iirc
poxbursters are infested
would anyone mind helping me do the 90% brain burst penance? i'm in vc 5 rn
bombers maybe?
man it's still so weird to me that both flamers are maniac
one of them looks very flak
but isn't
literally 2 copies of the exact same enemy
i remember the first time i saw a flamer i was like cool they made it green so you dont confuse it with your teammates fire

then your health bar starts turning purple
Bruh still no darktide,
the "armored" flamor has like no reason to exist
should just delete it or make it flak
Me annoying my friends at 4am to play darktide
what terrible friends
Yes
me buying them darktide and they never play it with me
Feeeeel that
i only have one friend who play and he blow himself up every mission 
still love him doe
I console myself with this sword
Need more people to play with, got 2 baby friends who are still leveling to rarely play, and 2 that do damnation but...I damn sure lose those games much more than solo...and they always blame the 4th guy...
80 warp res 
hater
simply suboptimal
more sword strokage
takes like 2 seconds to stroke my sword
meta players when it is A+ tier instead of S tier
Melk is throwing great shit at me lately, everyone else?
I got a BiS surge staff the other week from him
I feel he got buffed lol
this thing is pogggy
I got like 5 cyclers in 2 weeks on vet
The Melk manā¢ļø hasn't been giving me much of late
I got a surge like that, but still gotta wait on warp nexus (and apparently wait for it to stop being bugged at the moment)
? Warp Nexus seems to work
I forget where I heard it other than it being a youtube vid saying that I think it was surge being bugged to sometimes not do damage, I'm not sure how authentic that is
It was Claysthetics on youtube who I heard mention it https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxx_xu9kd5QUck6Xen1T2g722QDUS7LmAo

Really trying to scrape a decent voidstrike and trauma together, moreso the latter, got at least a t3 blazing spirit on a staff, but got not 1 staff with a blessing to write home about otherwise
Is Flak and Manic still the go to on the Shredder?
Sure would be good, I don't see it being much else
bro...
Hmmmmmmmm how does essence harvest treat quicken warp charges? I guess it treats it as a single activation right?
Pretty sure
To be fair he was getting shot so the rez might not have gone through anyway
i thought it was only melee damage that cancels the rez
If toughness breaks rez cancels
Shooting always cancels with toughness break
That too
Nope, bullets can definitely stop you if you have no more toughness
either way, he later on stopped a free rez to kill 1 poxwalker
any type of stagger will cancel rezzes
which turned into a horde
which turned into a loss

How 2 green circle chase.
Allies that are suppressed, disabled, downed or dead arent doing damage, thus leaving more damage for you š
very true
sprint efficiency as well
simply alt f4 the game the moment you go down and repeat
Yessir
green circle?
Basically topping the scoreboard
Vermintide addage
Kek
Its subconscious for a lot of players tbh
Make sure to always steal the kills of your teammates too
Enemy about to be headpopped? Kill them first
If you wanna get the most green circles, just do the following few steps.
-
Always run ahead. The player who runs ahead gets fresh spawns, which means more things to do damage to, which means more damage. Do not wait for your allies, this means they get to steal your damage.
-
Do not help allies, allies that are suppressed, pinned, or downed are not doing damage, and thus leaving more damage on the board for you. It also lets you seem that you are carrying when they die/get downed.
-
Always gobble ammo, the one who takes the most ammo does the most damage. Thus by taking all the ammo, not only are you maximizing your damage, but you are also minimizing your allies' thus leaving more for you and letting you get more damage!
-
Always shoot enemies in melee with allies first. Those are the enemies your allies are going to kill next, so kill them first. The shooters 20m away are not going to be meleed by them anytime soon, and will suppress your allies, so they cant do damage, thus leaving more on the table for you.
-
If you are a vet, run camo. Camo puts more pressure on your allies and takes pressure off you, thus allowing you to do more damage and force your allies to be more suppressed and unable to push.
-
"Accidentally" shoot barrels and poxbursters near allies. Lower health allies are more likely to play conseratively and do less damage.
101 class of how to green circle chase š
Bulwark with max stacks of burn and about to burn to death? Better focus that immediately
I've seen players deliberately do all 6 of the above to varying degrees
shame I can't really do 4
š
Lol
was gifted this game from a warhammer-fan family member so i would play with him
and now im doing damnation runs on the regular
no i'm too far away from my allies to killsteal
how i have fallen
This has the added bonus of possibly causing a GPU hang, thus causing your teammate to crash and invalidating their damage
Don't forget to shoot poxbursters your allies are about to push
This
Definitely this
i aint gonna lie i wanna go into sedition and try this a little bit
Barely anything to kill in sedition
so if i kill everything before anyone else can, they dont get a chance to kill anything

Do it to the malice or heresy scrubs
new minigame
get a teammate's damage dealt as close to 0 as possible
do it with a warp absorption illisi build
simply run into every group of ranged enemies and succeed every DPS check
So much overkill damage
Man when you get high peril WU, Unstable, max warp charges, 5 slaughter stacks and special going it's just way more melee damage than you really need
And I love it
do weapon perks affect blaze stacks
Yessir
guess i'll put flak on then
Whatever weapons is out is what your soulblaze will take bonuses from
Blessings included
can blaze crit?
No
Fire staff applies extra stack on a crit though so crit chance on it is still very nice
surge+nexus void is actually better single target dps than flurry+transfer peril with a perfect macro. I think it's ideal to quell a single tick after every shot since you waste time cancelling anyway
Too bad nothing will catch fire because it will all get oneshot
second attack is normal
to apply crit
then you special kill them and the fire spreads so on and so forth
sad that i wont be able to one shot mutants with 6 stacks anymore but we'll see how it goes
Just remember wild fire splits the stacks between nearby enemies so an enemy that dies with 2 stacks will spread 1 stack to two enemies only
It won't add much damage but it will allow you to get warp charges from AB with just melee
Just trying to set your expectations accordingly
mid
Finally did Pick nā Mix⦠I am FREE
Only on Psyker - there are still bullshit penances on 3 other classes š
Time to go do zealot penance 
Don't have to worry about other class penances if you make a full psyker roster in vain hope at getting relevant melk items
which is overall better
:^)
Either old or a liar
I just tested it
thats not what happens
could be old
there was a bug report about flurry preventing the last tick from dealing damage on the fatshark forums last patch
Sure aont unligke
Hoe likely are we to get a rework?
Ain't unlikely* Was in the middle of being picked up mid game when I typed that
Trying to get my friends to play
eh my friends stopped playing the game
feelsbadman
oh well
I just get to enjoy the pug experience
get new friends
not likely at all. psyker is in a very good state
if anything we'll get nerfed (again)
This thing is basically useless, isn't it?
Great stats but lmao perks and blessing
oof
Cosecrations like this is the reason i stopped crafting.
oops accidentally made this and got t4 unstable the same day
yeah deimos really is the best
anything that can delete a mutant is automatically bis
Auto delete crushers
Trauma to stagger all 6 crushers and heavy special headshots and everything is dead
How big of a difference does Pinning Fire 4 make vs 3?
25% power right? so about a 33% relative damage/stagger/cleave difference assuming you have no other power bonuses
that's weird
why does my power sword look like this
force sword
is there a skin i dont know about
Wow.
Didn't know 25% power translates to 33% damage
Oh, ok
e.g., 0.75 * 1.33 = 1.00
Then I guess I won't bother getting Pinning Fire 3 from Melk's
Will just wait until RNGesus gives me 4
(F*ck this system)
Can I be your friend
Agreed
I have an excellent bug where every channel shows me this meme
its an agri ix
so it doesnt really matter whats on it
yeah its not functional
headhunters are all shit, but that one is one you shouldn't use
i suppose with the salvo blessings it might be better since its burst fire anyway
but you will only have disappointment
My squadmates: Ew dont touch my psyker
All the people on the ship: O senpai uwu
yeah its the mortis operative one. I think its the one for preordering the game š
Is sustained fire good?
Trash
Just craft decent rolled whites to blue ones till it gets blaze away
Is this thing any good or "lol lmao use a force sword instead"
well its a devil claw with 2 stagger blessings
if it was a devil claw with 2 damage blessings it wouldnt exist because devil claw doesnt have 2 damage blessings but if we imagine a world where such a thing exists the force sword would still be better
this is the sad nature of the devil claw
Earn the blessing it is
vicious slice tooltip used to say "8% damage per enemy hit"
i bug reported it was stagger in the lua
and they just changed the tooltip to stagger

the devil claw is the weapon with the most impact blessings in the game.
it has 4
it has 1 damage blessing.
thats kind of inspirational
a CC melee weapon shared by all human-sized classes
What is a good staff to go for?
the city atop the hill
all four staffs are good, depending on what you're looking for
whichever staff u like tbh they do diff things so it really isnt like they compete
all of them are usable
Thank you.
so really just go with the one that does stuff u like
theyre all probs getting buffed too
just that none of our current staffs have any burst DPS ranged capabilities
over next few months
purg is good no matter what stats/blessings it rolls
because they have basically no blessings and some broken stuff so expect whatever you choose to probs go up in pwoer rather than down
Im liking the flame staff. Just gotta find some blessings,
for that one just gotta know taht crit makes it apply 2 burns instead of 1
so crit stuff not bad on it even tho it looks like it should be
Oh I didnt know that thank you.
so really all u need is warp nexus and a hatred for all living things
rare instance of crit being interesting
Which staff is better
probably the surge one. but masterrace is flurry + transfer peril
Right one
Left one is subpar
Right one, you could do quell cancelling
And kill shooters quite fast in theory
Alright so
Right one is better technically since surge and warp nexus synergize + better stats and and perks
but neither of em are like amazing
since surge blessing + nexus was an off off-meta funny meme build
and yeah as kharvor stated above you want flurry + transfer peril
how important is the mobility stat on a deimos? I got one with 79 and 80 in every stat except mobility which is 45
Not much
Since FS gets unlimited dodge
Dodge distance affected but far as i know the difference was nominal
the deimos has pretty good dodge distance scaling, so a low mobil stat on the deimos mostly affects the sprint speed
doesn't hurt to have more mobility, but I wouldn't consider it too much of a dealbreaker
Is 25% vs flak worth it on Deimos?
No
Can I reasonably proceed with upgrading this weapon or does it need 2 specific perks?
You already pokes everything with one shot
What perks should I get on Deimos then?
On the head
I have 25% vs Unyielding, maybe 25% vs maniac?
Already one shots all maniacs except mutant i believe
so... what should I get? lol
Unyielding/Carapace maybe
flak and maniac are best
dreg ragers don't get one-shot by the 2nd heavy
With 6 warp charges?
I don't know about 6, but I do 1058 weakspot damage to maniac with 4 warp charges and 80/80/80 dmg/fin/ft at 0% peril
Idk i used it with 6 charges + force wpn dmg feats
no one is always going to sit at 100 peril and 6 stacks at every situation
Seemed pretty much one shots almost everything
though it's nice to reach that breakpoint more easily
Even at 0 peril it still gives you 10% dmg
There are a bunch of convenient flak breakpoints, at least scab rager and mauler L1 special bodyshots
you'll need a 27.6% damage boost from some source to get to 1350 from 1058 the latter of which was obtained with 4 warp charges, 80/80/80 dmg/fin/ft, and 0% peril WU
And if I have to pick one?
unless you want to kill plogryns, daemonhosts, bulwarks, and reapers faster
I'd personally prefer maniac over flak
since mutants are sort of a time check on you
Makes sense
Yeah Mutants are on top of priority charts. Like any other disablers.
And they are the ones AI directory likes to spam the most
Behold siblings
Trust me that 25% maniac boost is NEVER wasted. Flamers, Trappers and Mutants are very high on the HVT boatd
Drip
Aye congrats
Think this can still be good?
Yeah thats pretty good
Transfer peril is excellent on VS
Good stats
Just kinda poo perks
Current vs
Was oneshotting flak enemies with 6 warp charges, so maybe unarmoured to clean up the others?
Get rid of exorcist and grab unstable or deflector or wte and you are basically golden
yes new is better
Isn't crit damage bad? I last read it does literally nothing since it does not interact with soulblaze. Was that changed? Otherwise nice staff.
Is there a chart or something what counts as what? Is infested and unarmored possible to get bonus damage on same enemy? Like Poxwalker? He is unarmored and infested right?
Crit damage is pbad on purge
Itās pretty bad in general actually
You donāt build crit damage on anything
all the numbers of crit damage are 10x too small
Idr where but there was like some graphics
in fact, even 10x larger, it still won't be good
Yes also think crit damage or/and crit chance is way to low
You run warp nexus because crit applies two stacks of burn not for the direct damage
In fact itās exemplified by the fact that warp nexus is neither meta on voidstrike or trauma because crit doesnāt do much for em
poxwalkers are infested; Groaner's are Unarmoured
Perk bonuses depends on the part of the body you hit
I think a crit oriented build would be nice with voidstrike and surge but you get crit chance not higher then 30% so you get around 30% damage buff by sacrificing a lot. For a random modifier itās way to low
Purge and surge the burn applies to their body armor type
Crit voidstrike is off meta
Funny meme build
Surge itās meta because crit provides more stagger/CC
I think itās sad that it is
and it's not exactly a 30% damage buff because our staffs have terrible crit damage multipliers
Voidstrike has a base crit of 5% so if you want to run a crit voidstrike with decent crit chance you would need to take nexus
e.g., on the trauma, a crit is only 50 more damage or so higher than normal on the secondary
Surge on voidstrike gives you an additional shot so every crit is a bit more then double damage. But still not enough
Which would mean you would have to forgo either warp flurry or transfer peril
though I think pygex remarked on warp nexus blazing spirit being good
Was good
They nerfed soulblaze flak dmg
And even then it was an off-meta build pre nerf
So voidstrike crit surge is lower dps just in raw numbers and when you consider that crit void needs to quell it gets even worse
Basically
Either you have to quell with crit void or you fire slower
And if you are building full crit void you donāt do either
Because a full crit void is warp nexus + blazing spirit or warp nexus + surge
No room for flurry or transfer peril
Itās just a shame tbh
Unless you wanna rely on the 5% crit but then whatās the point
I mean Iām fairly happy in a sense
voidstrike crit surge is higher dps against single target but only if you macro, but when you cleave you are more likely to waste your extra dps than with flurry
Since both blazing spirit and surge are fairly rare blessings
Yes and the crit chance needs to be higher for that. I donāt think that 20% per stack would be op tbh
Means I donāt have to finish
Depends on how you play tbh, but rn with how fast quelling is everyone is aiming to float around 60 peril
So idek
crit chance will stack after you attack
Crit chance is fine
Crit dmg is bad thatās p much it tbh
Like on trauma I believe when you crit you do like 50 extra dmg
Even with 10% crit damage
Crit chance would make surge blessing and blazing spirit viable so it would be fine
Thatās 55 extra dmg instead of 50 extra when you crit
So you only build crit for that I think it would be cool
I mean they are viable just not meta
Yes but the soul blaze stacks are not enough
With full crit build on high peril you crit like every third shot
For a whopping 2 stacks?
Itās for wildfire and AB
Typically when you run a crit blazing spirit build you are also running wildfire and AB
Makes generating stacks easier
And then you can use AB once you get enough stacks
But yeah
Off meta
But def viable
I mean almost everything is viable imo
Viable is a super low bar
Itās ācan you beat Damnation with this loadoutā
And not actively trolling or hard carried
Ok maybe we need to clarify what viable means š
But yeah Damnation is ez enough where as long as you arenāt like being hard carried you are fine so
Thatās the baseline
Then itās if the build is actually good and not just a meme
And then itās if itās competing as a meta build
I havenāt used voidstrike enough in general but ik even a crit voidstrike is viable as for how good
Prob would have to ask someone who runs it
Ok in that case i would like to see the crit builds get meta builds too. Just buff enough to be good
Maybe but I doubt they will be good anytime soon
Crit is just
Not important at all
Would require either a rework of crit or some overtuned BS that makes the staves crit every hit
At which point it would be weird for the other staves
Surge blessing is just so unique itās a chame itās a lot worse then passive quell flurry voidstrike
Since warp nexus is a blessing on every staff
And yeah they would need to increase surge drop chance too tho
Just buff crit blessing percentage to t4 15% maybe 20% donāt think 100% crit rate would be that overturned on staffs
Cuz rn surge is super rare so if it became meta it would be annoying af to get
It is 20% unless you mean 20% per stack
Donāt know why? It wouldnāt be better then passive quell flurry it just would be different
Yes per stack
I mean with fatshark balancing their balance changes are either zero effect or heavy handed AF
20% per stack is kinda overboard
Thatās true
Since it would be
Why
80% at full stacks + 5% inmate + you could roll 5% crit chance
It would be a 90% chance to crit
I think even 100% wouldnāt be better then flurry quell staff
Dunno you would have to see how good surge or blazing spirit is compared to just
Transfer peril and flurry
It would make something like surge and purge ridiculous tho
Iām also not a fan of tuning up stats for one blessing if itās a blessing shared on multiple weapons
Thatās a problem I must admit
Like zealot hsword headtaker got buffed so itās 15% per stack but itās in this weird place where itās literally just better slaughterer since it procs on hit instead of on kill
And yeah itās weird cuz normally headtaker is only 5% per stack up to 5 stacks so itās worse than slaughterer but then because they buffed it specifically for hsword itās just weird
Anyways Iām rambling and itās like 6 am I should go sleep lmao
š
I think the change to 20% per stack would be fine and not overturned but weāll ā¦. We will see what happen I donāt think that will change š
if you don't like using warp flurry then don't bother, there's not much point, it's fine as is, although I prefer warp flurry myself
if it was at least rank 4 I would personally consider it if I didn't have it
Tbh flurry on purg didn't do much
At least in my experience
Warp nexus is mandatory for purg i think
What is wrong with me if i like surge the most
not flurry, i don't like purg
Oh.
Well I dunno then, it's not like you have to use it. Could just use trauma for your horde clearing - or not be the team's janitor at all.
Good base, or too low blast?
Blast radius doesnāt do much I think itās worth a try
Dream would be blast radius and quell speed changed. Worst stat on every staff is quell speed. Itās not needed
if you want to stay at high peril at all times, the high quell speed lets you quell precisely for one or two ticks and still do a full charge. That's about it for the benefits
but that's for non-flurry setups
Doh, I am leveling alt psykers to farm melk shop, totally forgot that the items are still low level until 30 š¦
fellas, need help with this one, milkman came through with the blessings but not so much for the stats.
blast radius doesnt shift too much with percentage
its only interesting if you intend to make blaze stacks with staff
i still dont have surge
sad
was thinking of ripping the item and just get surge blessing but what are the chances ill get the same combination blessings. should i just re-roll the perk to crit chance to compensate dmg?
stats arent that bad
if it does big damage in the first place the slider wont change much
the damage doesn't particularly matter
imo use it for now but continue trying for a better statted staff
then slap surge onto that staff
roll infested to crit and it's good
yea
sweet! thanks guys, just started playing psyker and never knew this blessing existed.
surge works with right click?
how would i know, i dont have it yet
I would take surge since warp nexus at least drops in other tiers
surge blessing, yeah, works with right click charge.
i run 2-2-1-1-1-3 on Trauma
Unarmoured, Flak, Carapace best perks in that they do things. Perks are not super important on the weapon as with 6 WCs it hits the BPs you need it to
Blessings, Flurry and either Rending Shockwave to help your team or Focused Channelling
Play very aggressively, just finished a High Intensity Shock Gauntlet Damnation with this exact build and it felt amazing. Trauma staff gets better the more enemies there are in the game
I would get it
Keep it for the blessings
unarmored?
not manaic?
okay can i run trauma and deimos?
or do i need ellisie for waveclear?
definitely unarmoured
so im guessing i do manaic and flak on deimos then
You only need Maniac on Demios
it one shots all flak already
actually post your deimos it is modifier dependent
unarmoured 1 shots dregs and flak 1 shots scabs so those are pretty nice on trauma
it will already one shot all flak shooter enemies at max charge with no WC
but Flak matters vs Maulers
and using the left click for headshot
i mean otehr than flak what then?
on sword or staff?
on sword, Carpace, weak spot and Block are all good second pics after Maniac
hold on a swec
let me show u my deimos
it's definitely the worst of the 3
so this Deimos hits 1SBPS vs everything except crushers
i see
okay... holy shiit
but u can get that down to 5 with 25 vs Maniac
everything except ogryns in general you mean
one shots maulers to body with 4 WC
varies with ur peril
oh then yea
going from ogryn to pskyer all these numbvers go makes my brain hurt xD
okay i see
OR
how often should i be brain bursting then?
and I think this is probably better
to gain charges?
when you need to
okay
so i need slaughtere and delfecter on this sword then?
use your F with Kinetic Barrage to reup stacks fast and kill priority targets fast
Deflector yes
Slaughterer can be whatever
Unstable power is good too
I think Deflector is one of the best blessings in the whole game
the ceiling on it is high
i thoguth slatheter was bad
cuz you wont be using your sword for horde clear
you be using your staff
it's not mandatory but it's not bad
sometimes you'll have your sword out and have to fight with it
Unstable pwoer is good, means you can hit the crusher BP without Carapace
what is my dump stat on deimos?
Warp Res/mobility
you have maniac already?
yes
Block Eff then
25% okay
perfect
it's amazing on the Psyker because it interacts with Kinetic Deflection
and the Deflector blessing
but you don't always have the luxury of taking it on the sword
Deimos is just so fucking GOATed though
post your Deimos
modifiers in the 3 relevant bars do need to be high to hit the BPs i've mentioned
hope you don't mind, I sent u a handy vid on this subject as well @scarlet timber
via DM
feel free to ignore if u don't care
thx
i be honest... pskyer was my least favourite class on release
but now it seems way more fun
way less squishyn ow
and also with the new force swords
it can actually melee
btw is the old force sword jsut uselss dogshit now?
didnt it get buff
on relase of other two?
It's not dog shit. It's just middle of the road meh
the old one is probably worse then the other two
but it's like
still better thne a lot of weapons
Claw 
since it can roll sluaghterer
Slaughter single handling making anything better 
pretty much
When Melk sends a angel and you have to sacrifice it, for the greater good. š§
Dought I'll find another good Deimos/Illisi candidate, but it can upgrade others more.
That's life. Grats on slaughterer 4!
