Worth?

#

Seems worth

shadow wigeon
# delicate stratus

I don't think I'd recommend a DC to any psyker, unless you're really wanting to use it.

leaden thunder
#

I don't think i'd recommend a DC

#

in general

worthy moon
#

is this any good?

#

or do I want less mobility and more collateral

shadow wigeon
worthy moon
#

What blessings / perks do I want for this?

#

Never played gun psyker

shadow wigeon
mental rock
#

Pinning fire

shadow wigeon
#

if you want to try degenerate blaze pistol build, then Pinning/Blaze Away

mental rock
#

For feats, kinetic flayer

worthy moon
#

I just got this from my mission

shadow wigeon
#

Perks: + flak. +maniac is a bonus.

shadow wigeon
#

if you have spare plasteel

worthy moon
#

I will make sure I have enough šŸ™‚ will be good to have a gun version

shadow quail
#

Opinions on wrack and ruin now

worthy moon
#

is it a good build?

shadow quail
#

?

shadow wigeon
# worthy moon is it a good build?

Well, the auto pistol is a bit over tuned right now, so it's a good build because that weapon is very strong (w/ pinning fire).
In general it's still quite fun.

You can use Kinetic barrage with it for taking out crushers, and Illisi for horde clear.

#

And Ascendant Blaze if you are a monster.

shadow wigeon
leaden thunder
#

like it's ok? but compared to the other options

#

fun to mess around with

#

technically viable imo, but not super worth

shadow wigeon
#

I did one run with it, leaning way into it... and it's just... meh.

#

Anything's viable but it's just adding so little

#

6 stacks? Maybe. 8 stacks would be pretty sick.

#

Alright I don't know anything about trauma staffs, but Hadron looks like she's tempting me

#

I feel this is meant to go one of two ways

shadow quail
#

slap nexus on it

shadow wigeon
# shadow quail slap nexus on it

See that's what I intended to do and that's why I rolled it, but then hit cara and rending, and I assume... they are part of some... more normal build?

shadow quail
#

yeah but fire

shadow wigeon
#

Well she's feeling very kind today

#

Second staff I just rolled hit nexus

#
  • cara I assume is good?
shadow quail
#

lol nice

#

not sure tbh I've barely used trauma, waiting for a decent one

#

Been told they are great, hasn't been my experence so far, but don't have a flame one

shadow wigeon
#

Time to meem

worn bolt
#

fuck it good enough

digital loom
#

i havent gotten a single usable thing out of hadron for like 2 patches now

#

she went from banging out l3 and l4 perks almost exclusively to 2's and 3's and only the worst blessings

#

even melk keeps trying to sell me shit with t2 blessings for almost 3000 coins

#

wtf did they do to rng

worn bolt
#

yeah I havent seen a 4 tier in a while now, I think melk or high tier damns are the only way I'll even see them

ionic frost
#

I just spent 8k plasteel upgrading shotguns and got 1 tier 4 blessing

digital loom
#

was it terrifying barrage

ionic frost
#

Scattershot

ionic frost
#

Making a bleed+flame shotgun =)

worn bolt
#

Hadron be like, sorry bout that after giving you terrifying barrage again for the 16th time today.

nimble burrow
#

do you guys grind that hard

#

i do my weeklies for 2 characters and peace out

worthy moon
#

any good?

worn bolt
#

nah I cba to play this game much at all, I just play whenever I feel like killing heretics

nimble burrow
#

thumbsup_ogryn killin heretics is a good job

worn bolt
# worthy moon any good?

its ok, the rolls arent spectacular but it can be used, issue is the warp resist is gonna have you venting every 3 seconds

nimble burrow
#

I just roll through some t4's maybe a few 5s with ogryn and psyker, i got other games to play

#

and friends to play with falling like flies

worn bolt
nimble burrow
#

they havent even touched this update yet

worn bolt
#

I actually got friends back into the game this update

#

specifically a vet main buddy of mine that is drooling over pgun changes

#

hes such a chad he uses devil claw

nimble burrow
#

i was hype for plasma buff, then i remember i just hate playing vet

ornate hamlet
nimble burrow
#

if i want to melee and shoot i go big man, if i want to have fun I embrace the peril of the warp

obtuse moth
#

what perks do you want for nexus blazing trauma

near wyvern
river sand
#

so like this

strong ether
#

Which perk should I replace? Leaning towards damage against maniacs.

worthy moon
#

this good?

twilit flicker
#

No, it's fantastic. Now hurry up and let hadron brick it.

onyx frigate
#

It's not perfect but it's pretty darn good

worthy moon
#

What blessings for trauma?

obtuse moth
#

ah so then the flak is less valuable, got it

austere estuary
#

trauma blessings I like most are flurry + rending

#

flurry paired with inner tranquility in particular

obtuse moth
#

we're not talking about that build rn

austere estuary
#

oh right

#

was responding to ramsta though fwiw

obtuse moth
#

oh maybe ramsta was, didnt realise there was a second flurry convo ye

austere estuary
#

I'm trying to get a good shredder pistol too atm

shadow wigeon
austere estuary
#

tempted to consecrate this despite poor mobility

#

cause brunt ain't being nice for a long while now LUL

shadow wigeon
obtuse moth
shadow wigeon
austere estuary
#

well, still mobility probably but not as low

shadow wigeon
#

When you ADS, pistol has a lot of stagger

austere estuary
#

hadron pls

obtuse moth
#

oh is the stagger higher with ADS?

shadow wigeon
shadow wigeon
austere estuary
#

I have pinning 3 ready

#

but alas

#

she got me good

shadow wigeon
#

ok then that's not great.

#

TBH I would have walked at perk and blessing

#

I know it's no fun

austere estuary
#

was tempted to

obtuse moth
#

yea you threw good money after a bad bet

austere estuary
#

but with monhun and wildhearts updates not gonna have a tonne of time for a while to play anyway

shadow wigeon
#

fair nuf

#

TB probably has some merit as a psyker

#

chance of fewer bullets now and then

austere estuary
#

Come to think of it

#

what do we normally want on the other blessing on shredder

#

pinning is the goat but for second I've not thought too hard

twilit flicker
#

Blaze Away: +power the longer you keep the trigger pulled

shadow wigeon
#

Blaze Away is pretty good. It's much smaller buff than pinning, tho

#

so you can tweak the second blessing if you like

#

Altough if you're going for AB pistol melting, you want pining and blaze. And if you find youeself mag dumping, you want blaze.

austere estuary
shadow wigeon
#

If you burst, blaze is useless

austere estuary
#

man I kind of hate stopping power as a roll, feels like a kind of

#

"yeah you rolled good damage, but now roll again to check"

olive ember
#

Simply don’t use autopistol

#

Use a good gun like recon las

#

Blazing spirit trauma

#

šŸ¤”

near wyvern
#

It works if you have max or near max charge speed and blast radius. Just gotta have Warp Nexus 4 on it.

digital loom
#

think i found my upgrade

#

change flak on left to crit chance

#

uny is nice for slug

shadow wigeon
shadow wigeon
obtuse moth
digital loom
#

instead of meta i usually figure out what pub teams are weak with and run that to fill the hole

#

usually

#

its horde

#

so i usually bust my horde killing to the max

#

is blaze trauma best at that? no probably not.

olive ember
#

Imagine having the loadout mod

#

I just roll a dice pick a loadout

#

And pray we don’t end up with 4 flamers

digital loom
#

i dont look at other people's loadouts i just go on experience

leaden thunder
#

I randomize my loadout every game

#

talents included

olive ember
#

If I hit a 1 on my d20 I pull out my revolver knife psyker build

ionic needle
#

Oh hey look a pretty much perfect MK V

#

It would be a shame if something were to

digital loom
#

ironically the more zealots i see in my lobby the more likely our team will be weak at horde

ionic needle
#

Happen to it

spice veldt
#

wow precog

leaden thunder
#

damn

spice veldt
#

very nice

olive ember
#

I mean I look at melee weapon

leaden thunder
#

skill issued

olive ember
#

Like if you rly care melee weapons typically give a good idea

#

Especially since even pug flamer zealots can’t horde clear for shit

digital loom
#

that poor sword

#

that picture is too bright for my dark room

ionic needle
#

So close to perfect :<

#

Testing it in meat grinder now and I get almost 30% peril for a special

ionic frost
upper ridge
spice veldt
#

oh nah, I was poking fun
Precog is regarded as one of the worst blessings

upper ridge
#

it defo feels like so

#

but the ilisi forsw sword is so good on its own

spice veldt
#

the numerical value of the bonus being low and the fact that it's giving weakspot/crit damage, which are bad due to the way they are added on top of existing damage

upper ridge
#

it kinda makes blessings not he dealbreaker

spice veldt
#

yeah, illisi is good enough to just be fixed with a single slaughterer

north cradle
#

If you want to feel like a Sith, Illisi with Slaughterer and maybe Bloodthirsty is a good way to do that

#

Duelling Sword wishes it was as fanciful as Illisi

spice veldt
#

I'd say that the duelling swords do got da drip

olive ember
#

Precog lmao

#

That’s a knee slapper

north cradle
#

If I was a sanctioned psyker in the Scholastica, a Duelling Sword would look great just as another piece for commanding presence

#

Hell, give one to the Veteran to cosplay as a disgraced commissar

digital loom
#

a thin little sword gives off a commanding presence?

#

what?

fringe garden
#

it's not all about the size

long wharf
#

Maybe, but you can't cross the Atlantic in a canoe.

digital loom
#

if anything i'd be upset he didn't bring a real weapon to fight with

#

probably a stinking noble only interested in cowering in the back and shooting anyone who complains

north cradle
#

I mean, Scholastica psykers probably don't even need to lift a finger to turn the tide of a battle anyway

#

But cavalry sabres have been a staple of officer uniforms for centuries IRL, and millennia of the Warhammer 40K setting

tropic vigil
#

should i reroll ordo dockets or mutants since dodging them is kinda easy now

olive ember
#

It 21% hp

#

Into the bin

#

Honestly up to you

#

In terms of actual like in game use def reroll dockets but

#

With the 10/10 endgame darktide has dockets is actually one of the ā€œmetaā€ perks for curios

#

It’s very dumb but that’s what brunt’s does to a mf

sick isle
#

which to replace with slaughter?

olive ember
#

Exorcist

sick isle
#

i assumed

molten sparrow
#

"Going Out With a Bang" Penance works using specialists right?

olive ember
#

Uh….

#

I think so maybe dunno

#

I did it with shotgunners and gunners so couldn’t tell ya

sick isle
#

perks for trinkets are toughnessregen/ sniper/ gunner generally?

olive ember
#

Hp, stam regen depending on player, etc yeah

orchid shadow
#

Yay, finally randomly got pick and mix!

olive ember
#

Lol congrats

edgy kite
molten sparrow
edgy kite
molten sparrow
edgy kite
#

They're elites

molten sparrow
#

k

spice veldt
#

the intuition is that elites generally pre-spawn on the map and aren't immediately aggroed onto you

#

whereas specialists spawn on a timer and are almost always aggroed onto you, though I think the sniper has a passive state? Not sure about the latter part

olive ember
#

Idk some penances says elites but actually means elites & specialists

#

I believe pick n mix falls into this category

#

I just don’t know about out with a bang

digital loom
#

finally found it

#

melk might be useless but hadron gave me shockwave 4

north solstice
#

lol

olive ember
#

Congrats lmao

digital loom
#

i hardly get stacks from ab

#

kind of a waste tbh

#

have to take communion anyway

gilded magnet
#

Is this worth for the sticker? :3

#

im not sure how well blazing spirit is atm on swords

digital loom
#

if they ever nerf blaze on trauma i will go back to rending i suppose

#

uhh

#

depends

#

i have a blazing meme illisi that kills on first hit and then crits on second hit which is normal and it spreads pretty good with wirldfire

gilded magnet
#

ive got another sword with the guranteed crit on special attack with blaze 3, could upgrade that one

#

ahh yeah

#

hmm

digital loom
#

if there's nothing else you're looking for, reset is in 4 days

edgy kite
#

Melk store resets daily

spice veldt
#

though be warned that it's a guaranteed crit after a special kill, so bloodthirsty + blazing won't have that boss niche

#

I'd say it's not too good unless you really want to run AB and want to get some stacks and aren't running purg and whatnot

gilded magnet
#

i think thats part of the issue im having

#

i think its more for a collection/memey kind of thing

#

if im running a wildfire build ive got a trauma staff with blazing spirit on it

#

or this

edgy kite
#

Why are you running a wildfire build without purgatus šŸ¤”

gilded magnet
#

i cant answer that

#

xD

spice veldt
#

does blazing spirit apply to enemies killed in the trauma's epicentre?

gilded magnet
#

I see T4 on a purple in melk store and i get a neuron activation

spice veldt
#

if that's the case, then I can see wildfire working with trauma blazing spirit

gilded magnet
#

not even on kill, just on a crit

spice veldt
#

oh I mean does it apply to enemies before they die

gilded magnet
#

not sure, havent actually tried it yet

spice veldt
#

since it would be meh if it killed them before they got soulblazed and then wildfire wouldn't spread it

gilded magnet
#

but ive seen it in work i think

#

that's the issue i had before with the blood thirsty blessing

#

kept killing the target of the second hit

#

so no wildfire

spice veldt
#

suffering from success šŸ˜”

olive ember
gilded magnet
#

eh guess ill hold off on the sword for now, im sure ill stumble across it again later

#

mmm

#

the issue atm is im sitting on 4.4k on my psyker

#

if i buy that, and something decent rolls before the next reset

#

im fooked

olive ember
#

Just pray nothing good shows up until next Monday

gilded magnet
#

haha yeah, could just roll the dice

#

ehhhh, ill sleep on it

olive ember
#

Finally got warp flurry 4 on my surge staff

#

FINALLY

#

Have any code diggers worked out what 'burn intensity' on the damage stat for purgatus staves actually means?

mmmm... as much as i love purgatus, this is too fun

naive junco
#

when a zealot with a flamer tells a deimos/void psyk to horde control on assassination. ..what?

atomic forum
#

lol... unless they have power hammer, deimos probably outdamages

naive junco
#

a thrust blessed hammer*

spice veldt
#

though even the deimos/obscurus special is going to do some work against the boss' hp

restive slate
#

You mean a lotta work

atomic forum
#

in my experience i just slap them with specials and it randomly chunks entire phases

spice veldt
#

just looking at the calc, a crucis heavy-special does 1.6k bodyshot to the boss and a deimos light-special does 2.1k

deimos heavy 2

Or is this specifically the captain were talking about?

spice veldt
#

ye

safe crystal
#

My b then, carry on

#

It would still be 2.7k :>

shadow wigeon
#

Fire trauma: which perk would you keep (replacing other with +crit)? Is + cara actually useful or do you mostly find yourself ccing crushers?

#

+maniacs on trauma seems unlikely to get used much?

spice veldt
#

probably not except maybe on dreg ragers

#

more niche than anything tho

#

I'd be comfortable with replacing +maniac with crit

shadow wigeon
#

Yeah I think that makes the most sense to me

midnight bluff
#

or did that get fixed

spice veldt
#

if your hordeclear is covered by your ranged weapon (purg n all that), I'd assume it's fine

#

perks being meh

sick isle
#

charge rate important on surge?

naive junco
#

only if you want to do dmg while stunning..

long wharf
#

yes, charge rate is important for surge

#

it's more important than warp res

sinful palm
#

My psyker just dinged 30 and I crafted up these two, I haven't had any issues in hi-int5s yet but I wasn't sure if there were any blessings/perks I should be looking for or cannibalizing these suckers for.

#

I assume Carapace is worthless on Illisi compared to either other force sword

naive junco
#

the llisi just needs unstable power instead of blaze spirit

#

crit dmg into maniac or flak.

#

illisi still does work on crushers. plus carapace better than crit dmg

sick isle
#

does unstable power cap out at 5% power? or is it just worded weird

sinful palm
#

I assumed that it was worded poorly

naive junco
#

5% per 20% peril

sick isle
#

ah, okay, i was wondering why ppl told me to get it. that makes sense

sinful palm
#

I keep seeing surge staves with crit chance. Is it like burn stacks where a crit is 2 ticks?
*zealot main.. branching out and still learning the preferred perk/blessing combos on Psyker gear

naive junco
#

the dmg is pretty much from crit

long wharf
#

more than that, the amount something gets staggered by the surge staff is directly related to how many times it ticks on things

#

crits double the stagger value applied per tick

sinful palm
#

I swapped the flak for crit chance on my staff after seeing it on people's gear

long wharf
#

you want both flak and crit chance

#

if you have to pick one, go flak

#

because surge staff already does good damage to flak, you want to magnify that

#

speaking of which

#

@olive ember after playing with WU on my surge build, I'm going to keep using it

sinful palm
#

yeah it has crit damage. sadly the other perk was trash. so I rolled flak on it but it is crit chance and dmg now

cyan notch
#

crit is pretty lame on void and trauma

long wharf
#

I've gone from 321133 to 311113 for my surge setup

#

yeah, the crit damage multipliers on void and trauma are low

#

not worth trying to boost

#

and their crit chance is base psyker, so 5%

#

also not worth boosting for on-crit effects

sinful palm
#

Solid info. I have only rolled surge so far but I want to try the others so I will keep that in mind.

#

Thanks!

long wharf
#

surge with illisi feels so damn good

#

the only way it could be better is if I could get blazing spirit on surge staff

#

then I'd use AB

#

frankly, with the way the power sword was nerfed, I see the Illisi getting the same treatment

spice veldt
#

yup

#

maybe lowering the damage on the first few targets and removing the increased stagger on special

golden elbow
#

thoughts?

long wharf
#

don't bother

ornate hamlet
#

All I see is deathspitter being added to your blessings list whatthefuck_heresy

primal plume
#

Warp Unleashed or Inner tranquility on Surge?

long wharf
#

I recommend Warp Unleashed

#

we quell so fast now on a decent staff that you get more out of +25% damage

naive junco
#

I feel bad having WU on a transfer peril voidstrike during hordes.. start with 60+ peril and down to 0% after 3 shots of multiple weak point hits

fierce sinew
#

you still get 10% for free

#

if that was literally all the feat did it would still be the pick most of the time

naive junco
#

yeah.. still best option either way.

hearty python
#

@naive junco that's why I run inner tranquility with Void, how does WU give 10% for free though?

fierce sinew
#

that's more value than warp battery, and warp battery is good

long wharf
#

if your goal is to void as often as possible, you might as well lean into it with Inner Tranquility

naive junco
#

the initial charge+shot should give you the minimal dmg increase.

hearty python
#

@long wharf that's my strat

fierce sinew
#

it's 10% at 0 peril and goes up from there

hearty python
#

Oh, ok. I also usually have some trouble with it not quelling down quick enough even at transfer 3 without IT, but my aim may just be off

naive junco
#

wu is just too useful cuz its all dmg now though.

fierce sinew
#

the BB breakpoints alone are such that I won't play without it

naive junco
#

and making charged sword hits just that much stronger is nuts

fierce sinew
#

the fact that quelling is so much better than before also makes a lot of the benefit of tranquility redundant

hearty python
#

@fierce sinew does it hit the breakpoints for flamers right away? Because if so I may try it

fierce sinew
#

with battery and wu you kill flamers in 1 bb yes

#

if charged

hearty python
#

Ok, yea I run battery and tranquility

fierce sinew
#

ragers and especially bursters are handy to kill in 1 bb as well

naive junco
#

think it still needs 1 charge no?

#

starting from 0%

fierce sinew
naive junco
#

flamer.

fierce sinew
#

for bb breakpoints you need some combination of peril and charges yes

naive junco
#

with 0 warp charges and peril at 0%

fierce sinew
#

right, that won't one shot

#

you can't bb at 0% anyway for what it's worth

naive junco
#

2 charges, 0% peril for flamer i think.

#

starting charge at 0% i mean

hearty python
#

But I also seem to be one of the few to run MiM, I just like the quality of play it gives, too many people already abandon their psyker already, especially if I'm searching for materials or books

fierce sinew
#

bb cares about peril when it's released

#

not when charge starts

hearty python
#

@naive junco I can't remember if I can get them fully charged on WB or not

naive junco
#

i just never checked how much a bb charges from 0. all i know is i can recast at 98.. but ive killed myself a few times cuz i dont have the decimal % mod

fierce sinew
#

I find moving around while quelling with the staff perfectly fine, using a feat for MiM will always be strange to me

hearty python
#

@fierce sinew I feel like I'm standing still without it.

fierce sinew
#

97 without tranquility but yeah, you're getting to the 40% threshold virtually always, and I say "virtually" just in case there's some mid-release battle meditation multi proc from DoT fringe situation etc

#

are you sliding?

#

one of the comfiest things about movement as psyker is how you get to dodge and slide everywhere all the time

hearty python
#

@fierce sinew not always, haven't tried quelling & sliding, I'm not sure I have the finger dexterity to pull it off

fierce sinew
#

you do unless that message was v2t

#

I believe in you

spice veldt
#

I have my dodge on Shift and crouch on C to make it easier

fierce sinew
hearty python
#

And I kinda recently found out I can dodge-slide 500hrs in

fierce sinew
#

you were just playing with weighted training clothes on

naive junco
#

i just have them both on space

primal plume
#

what charge rate should I aim for with surge?

naive junco
#

but screws over dodging.

fierce sinew
#

your spatial awareness and target prioritization have been sharpened by your hours of artificially gimped movement

hearty python
#

I have dodge as space, crouch is l-ctrl

fierce sinew
#

go forth and slide, with a bonus feat as well

runic python
#

Don't think I'm beating that. Once I find a t4 Warp Nexus and reroll it to 5% crit chance at least.

fierce sinew
#

since you graduate from MiM

#

I don't think it matters that much what you bind them to, but I do think it's trolling not to separate jump and dodge at least

#

whatever is comfy for your hands

hearty python
#

@fierce sinew maybe after/if I get better more used to sliding, definitely may separate dodge

#

I've been frustrated too many times by jumping when trying to dodge

fierce sinew
#

literally had that happen a single time

#

in the tutorial

#

put a stop to that shit immediately

naive junco
#

dodge/crouch on space , jump on ctrl.

#

its kind of funny when all you see is a psyker laying on the ground swinging a sword

hearty python
#

Oh, didn't think about that dodge/crouch combo

abstract cedar
#

god this penance is AIDS

hearty python
#

May try that when I get back on

abstract cedar
#

literally doing damnation STG and can't get pick & mix

hearty python
#

@abstract cedar which one?

fierce sinew
#

it's more about team comp and less about difficulty

hearty python
#

@abstract cedar do it on heresy STG so you have an easier time getting the kills, I think that's how I got it

fierce sinew
#

just join shock maps, leave and requeue if there's a vet

#

?????

#

profit

quaint depot
#

Been doing that for weeks I get 4 at best.

abstract cedar
#

same, just constant 4 pieces

naive junco
#

ask nicely?

#

they might just watch till you get it

hearty python
#

If you can get a helpful vet that'll light them up and let you kill them it could help

abstract cedar
#

it would be infinitely simpler if dogs could be 1shot by BB

quaint depot
#

People don't talk in game or read chat.

fierce sinew
#

alternatively play with a group in comms and yell LET ME HAVE THEM at the appropriate time

naive junco
#

lol chances are if the vet ults, hes gonna tag em all himself or attack the one thats charging bb

gloomy yarrow
#

Hey are we talking about stupid fucking penances?

abstract cedar
#

yes

hearty python
#

I think I just kept trying in Heresy until I got it

quaint depot
#

90% one is just as stupid

gloomy yarrow
#

You know the one where you have to blow up and kill 3 specials?

#

Dogs don’t count

abstract cedar
#

the suicide bomber one is almost free

hearty python
#

@quaint depot that just takes a faithful Ogryn and cooperative team

fierce sinew
#

90% one comes up in clutch situations if you're lucky

#

the worst part about trying to get pick & mix is that you almost need hi-intensity or STG on high difficulty and you have to sit there and stare at the fucking map all day until one pops up

because level select is immeasurably complex

If it is wrong mobs it takes too many bb also

you should know which mobs to target in what order by now

I have -10% cooldown on curios and still yeah not enough to get 5 down with random mobs

you don't need anything on curios, just kinetic barrage and a vet that lets it happen

Running toughness/gunner res on my curios not sure what to do for a third

@fierce sinew I got it at the opening of the Magistrate Obliette assassination mission by running into a bunch of rangers and a bulwark right in the opening area

sniper? just in case the random bs spawn into insta shot gets you

prisma perch

I could do sniper it does suck a lot when that happens

I got mine on a rager pile in chasm logistratum (by the big drop down after the rails)

just need the vet to let you, lots of places to find it. commsplex is the meta recommendation

just cleared commsplex damnation STG and didn't get it

I think with kb on hi5 or hi shock you usually have multiple chances a map teammates permitting

abstract cedar

not doable when the specials are ogryns or mutants or dogs

if you're going through maps and never getting the pile of gunners put on you that's a silver lining at least

fellas are you running wildfire when using the aoe force sword

#

I'm running it adjacent to the zapper staff without wildfire rn

primal plume
#

should i refine this or just get the blessing?

forest coral
#

although the radius is kind of sad, its not that bad

#

you'd definitely want to get it for the blessing if u already have a better staff

shadow wigeon
#

Your range will be short 2m or so, which is definitely noticeable. But if you just want to run with it now, I would.

shadow wigeon
tiny plinth
#

new to psyker, what's the next steps?

naive junco
#

i assume hes running blazing spirit with wildfire?

tiny plinth
#

as soon as i get my 90% brain burst thing yeah

forest coral
#

carapace to flak, blazing spirit to slaughteror

tiny plinth
#

oh, not the crit on special thing?

forest coral
#

nope

tiny plinth
#

aye the

#

then*

forest coral
#

unfortunatley the sword fire is stupidlyt weak

shadow wigeon
#

It isn't actually good, just fun

naive junco
#

if it was weak point.. maybe.

tiny plinth
#

isn't fun good?

shadow wigeon
#

more than actual fun

#

Like it's ok, and if you want a fire sword, I would use Shred

naive junco
#

weakpoint would be hilarious. . but crit zzz

shadow wigeon
#

in place of Executor

#

But I think you'll get bored of it before too long

#

It just doesn't DO very much

tiny plinth
#

the sword doesn't really do much though :\

shadow wigeon
#

I mean... it's almost too strong

#

right now

#

I think you just need to try Slaughterer

tiny plinth
#

yee

forest coral
#

yeah like, in vermintide's fire sword right, it had infinite things it could set on fire within the cleave and had huge stagger. +the melee attack itself was weak, but the fire was strong

tiny plinth
#

i kinda just cleaves through everything without it anyways

forest coral
#

Darktide's swords are really high melee attack but weak dot on the blessing

naive junco
#

keep rolling for slaughterer and unstable power. and cleave through ragers.

forest coral
#

it also is limited in its cleave to an extent, it just makes the blessing redundant

#

you may as well hit the mob twice instead of setting it on fire for an extra tick of 12 damage or something like that lmao

#

or straight up one shot them with slaughterer stacks

tiny plinth
#

the fire's more for charge generation for me though

#

damage isn't really much of an issue rn, i just keep forgetting to brainburst

shadow wigeon
#

@tiny plinth The problem with fire is that you can't easily generate enough stacks for wildfire to do much damage.

Yeah it will get you a few warp charges,here and there.

#

But that's a pretty slow way to get charges

#

What staff are you building for? or gun

tiny plinth
#

staff?

#

i just melee the whole game

shadow wigeon
#

You can use melee with some guns though, or stab with a staff. Also melee.

tiny plinth
#

wouldn't anything on the 2ndary work in that case?

shadow wigeon
#

I mean fi you want to do it, replace carapace with +crit and Executor with Shred, or try the Bloodthirsty build, although I think it's much worse for setting the world n fire.

forest coral
#

if u really want fire, just use your purg and run ascendant blaze

#

wild fire is a fun novelty for hi intense hordes but if you really want to be effective

shadow wigeon
forest coral
#

warp battery + ascendant blaze burns can clear the horde out instead of softening them in higher difficutlies

shadow wigeon
tiny plinth
#

guns/staves are kinda boring ngl

#

the dodge melee scene on psyker seems more fun

shadow wigeon
#

Battery clears a horde quicker, but Wildfire does keep working for a long while, Warp Absorb runs for quite awhile

cyan portal
#

Wildfire buffed by slaughterer is lethal to hordes and results in infinitely spreading fire. It is very strong.

shadow wigeon
tiny plinth
#

don't tell me what to do

#

so, i'm honestly stuck on what seems like a laughably easy penance, the "knock 7 enemies to their death at once" one, yall got any tips or good spots

# paper gate so, i'm honestly stuck on what seems like a laughably easy penance, the "knock 7...

The mission where you have to take the batteries of the trains has that small bridge before the Valkyrie with an endless horde. There are other places but that's where you can farm it really quick if you absolutely need to do it now.

Just remember that:

  • ults knock down power scales with the amount of warp charges you have
  • the enemies have to die within a time window after ledging, not all drops have a kill box that is high enough
  • consider a build that uses warp battery and quicken
near wyvern
paper gate
#

i've actually been using a build with warp batter and quicken, so that's good at least

#

i've been using it with kinetic deflection, inner tranquility, and a deflector blessed power sword

#

really fun

#

No warp unleashed???

#

for some reason, warp unleashed doesnt seem to work with my power sword :(

#

and i like playing on lower difficulties as a melee focused psyker (yes i know heresy)

#

although

#

i should probably start paying attention to the killboxes

#

since i only know a few spots to job a daemonhost as ogryn

#

this is something i started doing trial and error with to combat griefers

#

so if its a map with a fall hazard i can just lure the host over

#

instead of having to play nascar for 10 minutes

#

on psyker its non issue, obv

ionic needle
autumn smelt
#

probably cuz youre not on psyker when youre using a power sword, so the feat doest take effect

paper gate
#

so there's like, that little box that lets you know how many stacks of warp unleashed you have

#

on the staff, I can see that

#

but swap to power sword, it goes away

shadow quail
spice veldt
#

warp unleashed is a feat

#

and you don't get stacks with warp unleashed

#

the damage bonus you get scales linearly with peril

paper gate
#

...huh, ok then

spice veldt
#

the icon that you're seeing is likely Warp Nexus

#

the crit blessing on your staff

paper gate
#

oooooooh

#

see, I thought it was like zealots more damage less health thing, where you get stacks

#

but it being warp nexus makes a lot more sense why I only saw it with my staff

olive ember
#

yeah warp unleashed is like the one thing in this game that scales off peril and isn't threshold/stack based

#

The calculation is literally boils down to something like +0.1 + 0.15 * peril%

true shadow
static agate
#

Nice

#

I prefer slaughteter + deflector though

Still enough damage to kill asmuch

#

While tanking as a ... well, as a tank

Ammo hungry Vet with 3 psykers could be happy

I like triple psyker cause I get all the ammo to myself. So long as they all bring different staves. triple purg is rough

autopistol psyker moment

primal plume
#

This will always feel like a trap on Surge imo

#

Surge just feels like the staff thats "this is for CC, not killing"

summer prairie
#

everything is for killing, doesn't matter if the damage is lower

primal plume
#

some things are better than others at killing though

ionic frost
#

It kills...just not unarmored/infested...stop using it on the horde unless you're stunning nasties (not poxwalkers/groaners...)

#

left click machine-gun works on dreg shooters =)

spice veldt
#

if you're only using surge, it's a trap sure

primal plume
#

But thats the thing. It kills flak and armoured really fast without it

spice veldt
#

but warp unleashed also affects BB and melee

summer prairie
#

but wrack makes more sense with surge

ionic frost
#

surge needs illisi

#

I haven't tried wrack+kinetic flayer with surge yet

#

seems like it could be decent

#

I just wish surge could get blazing spirit =)

fallen lily
#

I need to change my 8% critical hit damage perk on my surge staff so something else. Any idea what perk would be most useful on a surge staff?

ionic frost
#

what's your other perk?

fallen lily
#

8% damage on groaners and poxwalkers

ionic frost
#

ew

#

ew

#

crit chance/flak/maniac imho

#

but look for a better staff =)

fallen lily
#

no

ionic frost
#

You'll want a better one

fallen lily
#

What do you mean I will? I DO want a better one, but I got this one

ionic frost
#

That'll do for now...but that's probably the 2nd worst perk it could have behind +1 stamina

fallen lily
#

and that'll work for now

#

what base crit chance does surge even have on it?

ionic frost
#

5% + crit modifier boost

#

i believe

fallen lily
#

bleh. alright. Probably just go for flak over the poxwalker and groaner damage

ionic frost
#

flak is nice for killing scab shooters quicker

fallen lily
#

when I do get crits (though rarely), I guess a bit more damage is somewhat useful

ionic frost
#

surge crits more than other staves

fallen lily
#

Oh, that's neat

ionic frost
#

look at your crit modifier

#

it says "melee critical chance" but it's really not

#

it applies to ranged, maybe melee too with the pathetic special action?

#

Critical Bonus

#

79% Critical Bonus is +20.9% crit chance

#

warp nexus blessing can get you more crits too

#

tho you'll probably want warp flurry

#

both is ideal

#

too bad it can't get blazing spirit =(

spice veldt
#

though it's a shame that the crit damage multiplier on the surge staff RMB is not particularly impressive

ionic frost
#

it helps vs dreg shooters =)

#

which is the weakness of the staff

fallen lily
#

I luckily got tier 4 warp flurry on the staff

ionic frost
#

nice

fallen lily
#

My build is basically throwing out as many full charge lightning out as much as possible for the longest sustainable chaining

ionic frost
#

it came with that or you had to re-bless it?

fallen lily
#

it was just like that

ionic frost
#

nice

#

you can start off with some shorter charges to build up warp flurry if you need to...better than ppl getting shot =)

fallen lily
#

I can change the other blessing to whatever I want, though I don't have many blessing unlocked for the surge staff

#

Yeah, that's actually a good idea that

ionic frost
#

and you can hold sprint while charging and slide forward...if you didn't know

#

every staff can

fallen lily
#

I also run Quicken feat to get faster ult. Sometimes I just chain ults in a row when I get cooldown reduction on elite kill.

#

And brainburst chance on hit to passively build warp charges for quicken

ionic frost
#

I prefer AB with surge to kill large groups of shooters with a slaughterer force sword

spice veldt
#

voidstrike can't

#

you can keep your sprint if you begin charging, but you can not begin a sprint while RMBing

fallen lily
#

Unless you have Run n' Gun

#

which is the other blessing on it

spice veldt
#

huh, it applies to the RMB?

#

didn't know that

fallen lily
#

yeah, still slower than normal running speed though

#

it can get me close to enemies without breaking my chaining

#

so surprisingly useful, but still a trash blessing

#

But the circumstance does come up somewhat that I need to close the distance

ionic frost
#

my 2nd psyker has such good curios...+3 stam +19 health x2...42% corruption resist, 60% sniper damage resist =(

#

I had planned on deleting him at some point...

#

The item RNG is bothersome...we need shared inventories, or at least the ability to permanently gift it to another character. =)

#

and perk/blessing locks suck

fallen lily
#

Don't know what holds them back with sharing item inventory

ionic frost
#

hubris

spice veldt
#

the lack of shared curios is the only thing stopping me from making 4 more psykers

actually using a staff instead of maining illisi lol

# long osprey With trauma I need to

why on earth do you use illisi with trauma? mutants are the only enemies trauma cannot CC outside of monstrosities so it only makes sense to run deimos with it for taking that mutant out the moment they reach you

spice veldt
#

illisi is very braindead to use and I like it for running through a map with just melee

#

feels faster than charging up trauma most times if the group isn't particularly dense

#

and there's the toughness regen from melee, and aiming the trauma staff takes brainpower

near wyvern
#

you will get used to the trauma aiming

spice veldt
#

I'm well aware

#

I have 800+ hours with it

ember hornet
#

nah arcotash you clearly have no experience

spice veldt
#

I also feel very uncomfortable with trauma throwing enemies around most of the time in regards to hordeclear

#

also too much brainpower to manage the enemies that I've knocked around or staggered

ember hornet
#

I was running illisi trauma for a bit to knock down ogryns

#

but I also ran illisi revolver cause it's really just illisi show

tall temple
#

How many hours has it even been since illisi was released

spice veldt
#

I inadvertently ran a few games without a feat selected in my lvl10 or lvl25 lines and beat them fine with the illisi

#

so no warp unleashed or warp charges at all

#

still beat those games fine with the powah of da illisi

#

just short of a month since the new force swords were released

near wyvern
#

@spice veldt if you want braindead trauma gameplay get yourself a Nexus Spirit trauma. Hug your vet and aim at your feet, that's all you need to be effective.

#

the outer blast staggers instead of throwing and because of nexus spirit it can actually deal damage

spice veldt
#

that means giving up focused channeling which I don' tlike

near wyvern
#

why do you need focused channeling ???

spice veldt
#

having to actually look at my toughness or pay attention whether I'm sprinting or not

#

too much brainpower

#

I like to be at the very front of my team

#

right into shooters

#

I dislike being in cover at all

#

if I'm not peeking and killing 2+ enemies every time, then that's too little for me

#

and aiming from certain positions takes too much brainpower

near wyvern
#

so you'll just gladly take hp damage?

spice veldt
#

I like to just be wildly out of position to aim my trauma staff

#

sometimes

#

but the focused channeling also pertains to sprinting while casting the secondary

#

since getting shot will always stagger you out of your sprint

#

very annoying when I'm trying to sprint-slide

near wyvern
#

just dodge slide and embrace the stance of the crab

spice veldt
#

I also dislike DoTs because that's time that my teammates can use to kill the enemies

#

I must have all the kills

#

and being forward usually means that the enemies are aggroed onto me

near wyvern
#

ehh

spice veldt
#

and loner spawns as well

#

and for specialists when I'm out of coherency

#

all da kills

#

it's a strategy that will consistently make you double the damage dealt of your teammates

Kk, gotta time the manual quell again then

I've tested it in-game but you can also tell it based on the warp charge templates lua as if a weapon doesn't have a stat, it's lerped to 50% value and vent_duration_modifier for BB is 0.75 - 1.25 and 50% of that is 1. The staff range is 0.5 - 1.5 and 50% of that is also 1

near wyvern
#

Right, so BB hands and FS are not actually 0% for manual quelling, are they 50% for auto quelling then as well?

summer prairie
#

If it works like everything else, I'd expect so

near wyvern
#

Aight, so that's where I failed then, I assumed BB and FS were 0%

summer prairie
#

autoquell ranges are 0.6-1.4 for everything

I have new monster toy ... just miss +5 crit on crit chance on perks and Warp Nexus IV (20%) on Blessing šŸ˜„

long wharf

Trash it. Cloud isn't a dump stat

ionic needle
#

Aren't both of those perks quite shit?

#

On purg that is

#

flurry is good

granite dust
long wharf
#

Cloud affects the range as well

granite dust
#

@long wharf - on single target range distance between 58% (right) and 77% (left) it's literally 3-4 steps...

#

and the same is for Secondary attack

long wharf
#

That's good to know

cyan notch
#

more range is more range

summer prairie
#

the suppression range is very important too

#

it's +2m from 60 to 80

granite dust
#

it more affect area cone on close range

summer prairie
#

it's easily more important than burn

#

which only matters for monsters and maybe slightly ogryns though not really

cyan notch
#

up to u buddy

I heard some mention Nexus + Spirit on truma staff. But Why blazing spirit on Trauma staff? Its only for crits, and by default psyker only has 5% crit chance (10% if add 5% as perk on the staff)

Its not like 4 stacks of soulfire does alot of damage.

karmic copper
#

which one of these is better? and which stat should i swap to flak of the 4, depending on which one is better?

#

i alreayd have both obv. minimal cost to make one just to have it*

#

just something other than illi and deimos to goof around with

#

i find the push attack damage to be significantly less than the light swings, tho its horizontal. running down to zero stam i find to be a hassle tbh, for All or Nothing. rather use the stam for other things

tropic vigil
#

i would use the 519 one

#

I don't think there is best / worst - every stuff have merit / flaws in encounter scenarios ...

# static agate I heard some mention Nexus + Spirit on truma staff. But Why blazing spirit on Tr...

It's a bit of a meme, but it works alright. Trauma easily keeps peril high, so you can get 30% crit fairly well. You don't need a full charge to crit, so you can dump small stacks out there.

It helps if there is someone else benefitting from the blaze stacks, but with wildfire they're going to spread at least, and multi hits on one target aren't uncommon, so your stacks will hopefully be 7 or so when they die and spread it.

granite dust

and it's connected with build and meele weapon ... so ...

gilded viper
#

surge is the best staff, cause it get me to role play as a bad guy in a star war movie NODDERS

@static agate You can also battery for 6 charge AB and then you're playing a hybrid burn/cc role. It's not optimal, but it is fun to see blaze stacks all over the place. It's really hard to figure out which stacks are actually high enough to matter, since you can't really control application, though.

#

ie you can't top up a target easily with fire trauma. You just blast and hope.

#

I preferred fire trauma + wildfire and just enjoy the chaos

runic gate
#

I haven't played in a month or so, I hear Psyker + Autopistol is really good now. What # Pistol is best?

leaden thunder
#

there is only one auto pistol

#

you just need pinning fire and blaze away on it

runic gate
#

Oh perfect thought there was a new one

#

Thx

#

Very funny Hadron

#

Now where are the real blessings?

I hate you

#

How

runic gate
# olive ember I hate you

rolled from a blue I had laying around from months ago. I always by good rolled 380s for meta shift lol. Just gotta learn how to play this build now

olive ember
#

Just casually gets basically a perfect roll with a pinning 4 and blaze away 3

#

And decent perks as well ffs

#

Just swap unyielding to maniac and yeah

runic gate
fallow falcon
runic gate
#

Thanks fellas

fallow falcon
#

Unyielding isn't a bad option, maniac tends to be better though

#

Let's you deal with ragers, mutants, flamers rushing you

#

Which is mainly what you want the shredder for

hearty python
#

Maniac/flak leaves out crushers, maulers, bulwarks, reapers, hounds, and snipers, covers just about everything else

meager plinth
#

Most unyielding it's better to use BB

runic gate
#

It has been done.

fallow falcon
#

And because you're psyker you can just BB anything shredder doesn't cover

hearty python
#

So, rangers, flamers, trappers, bombers, shotgunners, scab gunners, scab normies, muties all covered by the maniac/flak combo

#

I forgot dreg gunners are "unarmored", but are 1 shot BB

fallow falcon
#

The damage on the shredder is so comically high they still die in a fraction of a second

hearty python
#

Not rangers, ragers

#

@fallow falcon that too

#

Especially when paired with kinetic flayer

fallow falcon
#

Depending on the situation, I often have max peril from using BB while a horde approaches

#

Swap to the shredder and mow down everything in one volley from the sheer volume of damage buffs

olive ember
#

Enjoy it while it lasts btw

#

Autopistol is prob gonna get nerfed

#

It’s basically a meta choice on 3 of 4 classes

#

So yeah

cyan notch
#

boring tho

#

used it for 2 games and almost went into a coma from boredom

meager plinth
#

Good for you

cyan notch
#

same with illisi theyre both cures for insomnia

fallow falcon
#

Its enjoyable on the psyker imo solely because you're rapidly swapping between all 3 weapons depending on the situation

olive ember
#

I mean if you rly want to sweat

fallow falcon
#

With vet you just run and gun nonstop

olive ember
#

Run knife revolver kek

ruby plover
#

i actually like both weapons

#

i like how they work together

#

and then they're just so disgustingly overpowered both in isolation and together that its not remotely fun to play the loadout

#

IS BLAZING SPIRIT ANY GOOD ON ANY STAFF?

cyan notch
#

ITS MID AT BEST

#

IT ONLY ROLLS ON 2 STAVES ANYWAY

olive ember
#

IF YOU USE BLAZING SPIRIT MAKE SURE YOU ALSO USE WARP NEXUS

shadow wigeon
#

FINALLY WERE ALL GETTING EXCITED ABOUT BLAZING SPIRIT

grizzled jasper
#

HI

olive ember
#

Reddit told me surge staff is best

#

I was right all along

#

All you guys were just trying to gaslit me into using the trauma staff

shut matrix
#

Believing Reddit lmao

#

Why isn't blazing spirit on Surge
Could make it actually fun to use

olive ember
#

Eh it would be mid at best imo

#

You can put fire stacks on 5 targets woah

shut matrix
#

fun

olive ember
#

No fun allowed

#

Only meta

#

And efficiency

shut matrix
#

😦

#

You're right. I need to stop playing games for fun.

olive ember
#

Cadia would yet stand if people stopped having fun smh

long wharf
#

oof, low blow

near wyvern
#

Cadia would have destroyed itself if it heard about the advice people give on Reddit

olive ember
#

@near wyvern don’t think the Reddit takes are good advice?

#

Lmao

near wyvern
#

You are free to take any advice you can get. Some are just made with rigourous testing and thought behind, some are made by players who run in, die and complain where's the team.

olive ember
#

But Reddit says surge staff is meta and best staff

#

And that makes me feel happy and validated

#

What about my feelings
