if only you had the trauma staff; then you wouldn't be living in FEAR
i'll live however i want u cant tell me what to do
continue using your "reliable" vet nades then
that plague ogryn spawn at the midevent surprised me cuz I never knew that bosses could spawn there
i did
it just doesnt happen very often
cuz normally the AI director spends a shit load of points in the areas directly before it
i was wishing it was a beast of nurgle cuz then i couldve basically 1-magged it if i got behind it
ur a potato
pretty much
you can get that look by editing some lines in your user_settings.config
specifically these lines
lower values correspond to a lower quality as far as I can tell
i also have the lod stuff set low
Respect that grind for more FPS soldier 🫡
So no weapon charms dangling around?
dudes playing on 400 FPS
homies anyone know if the mk5 dueling sword is any good
ultrathin laptop gaming
heard from my friend that apparently you could one shot mutants
idk if thats a lie or not or if its perk based
since im not able to do it on my mk5
duelling swords have good block cost and mobilility; they have mediocre single-target and below-average hordeclear
oh, your friend is probably referring to the Deimos MK IV force sword
yeah 99% chance he means deimos
right, figured as such
I think the mk5 is the single target focused one IIRC
ty for clearing stuff up kings
here's an example of an almost-oneshot https://streamable.com/zftlb9
it has decent horde clear on the heavies with stuff like rampage
4 warp charges and warp unleashed with an 80/80/80 dmg/finesse/first target deimos
but the sabers are all trumped by the force swords currently
at 75% peril, that would've been a oneshot
also what does this mean again
crit chance
yeah its ideal with warp flurry
They still haven't fixed the warp nexus text?
somehow lol
the specific mechanics are that you gain a stack at 20/40/60/80% peril thresholds; each stack grants 5% crit chance at t4
crits apply two soulblaze stacks instead of one, so that's why it's pretty good on purg
👍
and the other blessings are pretty meh so there's not much competition
@lunar hollow can i have a hug

that's what I like to see
I just met a guy who everytime he was about to blow up as psyker he would moan into the mike "imma blow~"
most well-adjusted psyker
hot

Getting a shitty purple at the end of a hi5sg is not something i thought I could see. And here I am...
Why I stay away from heresy diff
imma do that shit now
cause thats jkust funny
Question for my siblings
what does warp nexus do???
damage?
that zealot understood
yeah, this is the second time that warp nexus' description has been broken
they broke it one time, fixed it, then somehow broke it again
I want to like the trauma Staff but in practice i do not
well i don't like you >:(
I can live with that
Im getting on the trauma staff trainb
I remember when one of the description for the blessings is just straight up broken
Skill issue
The alt fire just isn't pleasing to aim
trauma staff users the moment anyone brings up stairs in a conversation
if only it didnt like
kid named alt f4
completely fucking break
Its so easy lol
trauma users are weakened by the mere presence of grate stairs
you jsut have to REALLY REALLY REALLY be precise xd
i love insta-detting bursters in risky situations
simply be 20 meters away from everything
Right now I'm a Deimos Purgatus psyker
Game fucked me over hard mostly on the blessings but these is the stat distribution you want correct?
\
i'd never risk a burster like that since I'm afraid of blowing my teammates up
some people like quell speed over warp res as a dump stat
but honestly i use trauma staff once-twice before putting it away
if you're not doing something like an inner tranq warp flurry build, then a low warp res is fine
Warp resist could be better
Why would some people think this way, I wonder...?
that quell speed is awesome
its better for spamming
quietitude
trauma staff causes me to blow so much compared to other staffs
its acutally quite nice
more warp res = more time before you have to quell
so if ur running like flurry/inner tranq u get more spam
some builds like inner tranq warp flurry have a lot of uptime, so the relative time cost in quelling is not that much
and the difference between 80% quell speed and 60% quell speed is 0.5 seconds when quelling from 100% to 0%
so it's not too bad
What should I swap blazing spirit out with
Rending Shockwave
FUCK
i gotta find that still
good luck soldier 🫡
i need people to blow up
I have yet to find Focused also 😭
i gotta get my rescues penance y'know

only need 123 more
Desperate times call for desperate measures
focused channeling is nice because it prevents ranged attacks from staggering you out of your sprint
DONT MAKE ME CRY HARDER 😭
so you can just freely sprint-slide into enemies and practically extend the range of your trauma against ranged patrols
and play a lot more aggressively into them
the few days when they removed sprinting from staff casting was actually so sad
having to slowly crawl my way up to a ranged patrol
Brain bursting while sprinting is so funny
hi int consignment yard
actual Psyker buff
oh boy
AND WE GOT NERFED AGAIN
the ability to sprint and slide with staffs/BB is so extremely nice
flex on them
show them the light
i wish explosions did push bursters
for ultimate trolling potential
just pushing bursters right into teammates
TRUE
ACTUALLY TRUE
I can recall three occasions on which a burster was pushed into me by a surge psyker
though only one of which resulted in actual damage
surge psykers really do put the fear of god into me
surge psykers preventing me from pushing the burster and letting them detonate
Zapp stick comes with higher responsibility... Gotta pay attention.
this particular case is fatshark's fault for this weird ass interaction, but it made me salty nevertheless because he previously surged a burster while standing opposite of me https://streamable.com/tbzzza
i guess it's because of the burster being pushed into the sides of that container or something
actually tilting experience
wrong run and gun is better
I SWEARE
I'll probably try to get good with Surge
I still cry about the fact that the crit blessing don't proc on alt fires
It and Purgatus are my favorites atm
that blessing has two sins:
- being named the same as a staff
- NOT FUCKING WORKING
I don't want that blessing gone its not enough I want it dead
Is something up with rending shockwaves? I swear i can "feel" the impat on brittleness on all my other weapons like can opener ripper but i feel like trauma staff with shockwaves is having like no impact on damage
trauma already deals 100% to every armour type except Infested
thats because trauma already does 100% damage
so Trauma itself gains no benefit from rending shockwave
its not a huge diff its for your teammates really
here's a minor explanation on rending/brittleness if you're not privy #psyker-class message
so i built a staff with like damage amp then...should have just gone for blazing spirit build
Look if the surge blessing at LEAST worked on the void strike alt fire I would be happpy
it does tho?
it DOES what
it works on voidstrike's RMB
yeah so it's just trauma that it doesn't work on
discrimination against the trauma staff
and void still mid af
but its so satisfying to throw the bowling ball
Voidstrike is so fun to use tho
It feels good to shoot (until it doesn't kill what you're aiming at)
Also the M1 feels stronger?
Placebo maybe
even if you dont kill the stagger is great
voidstrike is an actually balanced weapon
so it has finite cleave (6 max cleave when fully charged)
compared to Purg or Trauma which both have infinite cleave
Its clearly too weak, gib buffs
how bad is my feat selection? trying out T1 perk 1 with quicken to see if i like it
otherwise i normally use quietitude
you're prob going to have to brain burst a lot to quickly stack up warp charges
as a warning, Essence Harvest does not stack
what are you using
Essence harvest doesnt stack, so quicken doesnt do much
also, I endorse the selection of aura + shield + flayer
10/10
shield goated
Shield just seems very useful cause I keep my peril high
Flayer is nice for free warp charges
yeah, it's nice to have that for warp charge upkeep
so you can run Aura with that
instead of having to run communion
memes ogryns randomly too
Agreed, not a massive fan of communion. Lacerations is cool but idk
It feels boss dependant?
As in only massively benefits when a boss is around
pretty much
lacerations main issue is i could just kill it withj WU
esp if i have WB
for non bosses
I swap back and forth between battery and flayer a lot
They both feel excellent to use imo
i assume for the brain burst breakpoints
communion lets me brainburst stuff and 99% of the time reliably 1 tap stuff u gotta have battery + WU to hit the bp on
I don't really brain burst that much or use ascendant blaze with purg, so I'm pretty much confined to either Communion + Battery or Aura + Flayer, and I much prefer the CD reduction over the brain burst breakpoints
the main time that particularly comes up is flamers
because sometimes u kinda cant just hold W and dodgeslide around the flames
I don't like that you can't just magically open yourself to more peril like you can quell it
It's like
It's easier to push a demon out of your head than to let it in
I know it's done for gameplay, but it's so weird
lets you hit some breakpoints like uhh
2 shotting crushers with BB
iirc
most sane quietitude user
yeah, I actually do wish we could just shoot up to 100% peril on a button press
that would be so nice
god, getting back to 100% toughness in just 4 seconds
(would be totally balanced)
i mean vet can go from 0-100% in half a second
tbf, we do have warp absorption
just that we don't have weapons that can take full advantage of it
Got an Illisi sword with 50-ish % Peril Resist - i takes 5 special taps to go to 100% peril and they come out in a second 😄
i should run essence harvest with communion and flayer and never BB
my toughness bar is wholly determined by RNG
i got cucked out of so much damage
the other psyker had a purg staff cosmetic but was running trauma
he and the void psyker would literally always shoot whatever i was fighting
and would knock it out of my fucking swings
i had a grenadier gauntlet ogryn who did the same
like wtf is wrong with you
kept fucking knocking down shooter patrols and causing my horizontal swings to whiff
im killing the enemies GO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE
grrrrrr
i dont need u to do trauma explosions at my fucking feet
just kill them faster
and please god STOP blinding me
the void is exploding IN MY FACE and in this scenario i don't want that
warp absorbtion worth using at all?
ill admit to doing this sometimes i should probably stop lol
although people look like they are struggling in melee
sometimes
also has anyone actually met a psyker who uses psykinetics aura
well i was never struggling in melee that game
@spice veldt
i wont prioritize it though
that's fair just to make sure your teammates don't die
I use it
Whenever I detonate a fully charged trauma in the face of a teammate to kill two poxies they're already owning, I think "Aaah, I helped..." in the male Beloved voice... 😄
i recall an instance of another psyker using psyk's aura with kinetic barrage, and we recharged each other's ult pretty quickly
bitch what
i would probably run it
psyker's ult is so good
which one is aura
protects you against dogs and trappers
its so fucking
is that ult recharge
USELESS
im never gonna need it more than once every fucking century
thats pog
i think i have a friend who uses it
I have used it so save teamates being eaten by dogs behind walls
but the psyker with psyk's aura has to be the one to get the kill for the CDR to apply
psyker's ult is such a good defensive ult
i dont give a fuck about saving teammates
its def good
just dont get caught smh
the only one def better than it is vets but his is also broken
psyker is like the least useful ult to me
all the other ones are like
pretty much use straight off cooldown
i just kinda chill with the psyker one cuz like
oh boy i knocked stuff down
i would say its better than at least ogryns
ogryn's ult looks more useful to me
except for a trapper being in a horde and you can't move
just by virtue of being able to knock ogryns around
ogryn can knock an entire screen's worth of enemies around
reposition out of a bad scenario
etc
but being able to protect yourself against dogs and being a quick quell is extremely nice
BUT WHEN I DO IT WTH TRUAMA STAFF
20% attack speed for 5 seconds is funny
AND it gives you melee swing speed to boot...
ITS A BAD THING
thats true but AB can also clear a large portion of a horde and it deals with disablers
ur not supposed to knock a horde of pure poxwalkers around
unless everyone is running like knife/dclaw/shield
barrage is also nice if theres a bunch of elites and whatnot
don't worry; I also hate ogryns who uselessly knock trash hordes around
u can put 6 crushers on their ass in an insant
see
what ogryns dont think of
is that you can cancel the charge at any point
you also aren't supposed to charge the horde of pure poxwalkers, but ogryns love killing those poxwalkers 2% quicker.
so what i do is charge for like 5 meters
tbh thats my biggest issue with ogryns is half the time i see it used its just knocking poxwalkers around
but...but it looks cool
i dont think ive ever let the whole thing go
unless i needed to get to a teammate
that was far away
me charging 60 meters just to resurrect a teammate the moment a flamer shoots at their downed body, instantly killing them before they can get out of the fire:

i got u up pal
i've only run all the way through an unstoppable charge if its for getting to a downed teammate or there's extra elites behind the other elites i've already knocked over.
ogryns feats for the charge feel super mid sadlyh
well yeah
i might be forgetting some
unstoppable is 100% BASED
We know of one, what are the others? 😮
like the bleed one
one of them is dogshit, one of them is ok, one of them is great
that's the case for most of the ogryn feats
i just take the one that doubles the range
unstoppable basically lets u see a whole pack of gunners hiding behind 2 bulwarks
and ur just like
fuck ur shields im goin IN
I don't recall such a feat... You must be thinking of shouties...
u can do basically any dive u want on ogryn with ur fatass hp bar and confident strike
its so beautiful
ogryns have at most 2 options when it comes to their feat column choices.
or did i just get whooshed
bleed is bad on everything
the only thing it does any considerable damage to is unyielding
and even then like
he has 3 bleed feats that are all equally bad
u could just kill it faster with other stuff
😄 I'm joking... Yeah, there's that and toughness regen.
They buffed the Bleed to 4 stacks...
yeah i saw somebody say the bleed grenades were decent and then i saw the stacks did like 2 damage per tick
and i was like that is not worth even if i have 4 and can regen them
id rather use blazing spirit illisi
Bleed grenades are like
Bleed Nades are secretly OP on single targets with big HP bars - if you hit the target WITH the actual nade it stacks all the bleeds, THEN explodes to stack them again...
So underwhelming
Thats not bad I guess, if also situational
I am.
yeah
Does that surprise you?
very self-evident obviously smh smh
bleed nades are superior
Considering the stacks I see from the explosion I'm not particularly hopeful, but
Let me inhale some hopium and head to the psychodelikanium
i dont think its worth still given how good vet can be at deleting elites anyway
might be fun though
It's an OK feat if you don't need reload speed to keep ult up and don't run a Ghost/Crit build 🙂
I think this is correct, yes. Mostly on bosses, tbf
Mechanics, Techniques, and Combos - Darktide is full of them and in this video, I go through 7 of what I think are must-knows for any player (especially beginners) if they want to open up their build-crafting horizons and raise the ceiling of their gameplay!

Kantrael Lasguns review: https://youtu.be/aj06iYvPuA4
Illisi ...
no you can just do that to packs of ogryns
2 nades will make them proce each other
grenade build with vet sounds fun actually
then you equip a weapon with flak and or unyielding to destroy mixed hordes and / or ogryns
shredder, bro caxe, full nade build with reload ult...
and most of all the bigger they are works as well
@viral solstice has videos about it
Okay, so bulwarks and reapers are very vunerable to bleed
I was trying it on poxwalkers because I dared assume the AoE weapon was to deal with multiple smaller enemies
#ogryn-class message crab's demonstration
yeah, here's a damage table of bleed #zealot-class message
very mid, they die too fast for the stacks to actually ramp up, same as flamer/purg staff
and the occasional revive mid action
indeed
ill toss them if theres a ton of shit going on and we just need some CC
also decent for revive
yeah
Yeah, at this point I basically delegate them to CC and revives
yeah, better than doing nothing
knife psker is a real build
but no, you can delete pack of crushers
Pretty good to have a get out of jail card for laggy-ass bitch-ass motherfucking poxhounds
and waste no bullet
What constitutes a knife psyker build?
They removed lights out because it wasn't working right and poxhounds are still the most wildly buggy thing in existence
Also - why?
there's still lights out
wtf are you talking about
It was removed from the game for a few months after release
Because AI detection radius was bugged
it's back since february or march
It was re implemented when it worked
they call me a mad man
Yes, man, that still means it was removed for a bit
psycho
its not the worst thing ive ever seen
Its a build beyond your understand
get this person into an asylum
its also not the best thing ive ever seen
hes just RPing what a insane psyker would pick for feats
its already done
it's not terrible as an infinite cleave option if you're not running trauma/purg
im running gun psyker
im beyond your puny attempts at understanding
this is my world and you all live in it
the gun psyker build
its goated
I believe you, pal... And you scare me a little...
and keeps me safe at night
FEAR ME FEAR ME
whoops....
it just takes one bad day
one bad damnation run
and you all will end up like me
Mahlk got my week started with 1 T4 blessing, ACROSS ALL 4 CHARACTERS.
And the highest stats rating he had was 360, ACROSS ALL 4 CHARACTERS.
nothing to spend Mehlk bucks on, across all 4 chaaah, you get the point...
Make a fifth character then
ive gotten good luck with melk recently he gives me at least one good t4 blessing
each reset
like 3 out of last 5 times
nothing crazy although i did get an insane helbore from him
Another Vet, yes! So I can get another chance at getting Headhunter 4 on Kanties...
Go insane and learn this power
mgxii
knife
sorry bud i like actually doing damage
Josho based
Knife psyker??
force knife when
Knife psyker is real
yeah. really shit
you fools don't understand
Telekine knives are in the files
i want a force spear, they already have the animations
Probably for the Assassin class we're getting in 2025
You do know you're... like... a staple in the Shouty chat... Right? 😄
thats when i bring out the mgxii
Why a knife tho, wouldn’t you be better off with a tact axe or smth with more substance?
for my close range
and i look down upon all like 3 people who still use it
Mg12… for close range…
yes
maybe one day the game will stop feeling like a Beta
Against pox walkers?
Is this worth upgrading?
Im on 100% peril right now
so true
anything
100%
looks solid
The dreaded knife zealot is a stereotype for a reason.
knife zealots are few and far between in my experience nowadays
or they at least do the courtesy of using flamer for 90% of the game
yeah, but at one point knife/shotgun was the meta
some people made some YT vids and it took off...
Run fast, get poxhound at least 3 miles from the nearest teammate
it was a thing...
darktide youtubers are the worst thing to ever happen to this community
i've played with some knife zealots that know their role pretty well. Get in the enemies faces and be as big of an annoying distraction as possible. I definitely think they would've done way better with any other weapon tbh.
almost all of them are fucking idiots
here is what im workin with
I mean, running fast with a knife IS exhilarating
if u see anything with the name claysthetics in the general vicinity of it ignore it
what should i change?
its probably wrong
There's a few good ones, come now - Ryken, cashcrop_, ChocoB
I like only one Darktide Youtuber now, Ryken I believe. Does good number crunches and explanations
Clay has heart, bless him 😄
clay has absolutely terrible ideas every time he tries to tell u what build to use
oh i like ryken
And Reginald - he does good Zealot vids.
his vids are gud
ChocoB is scarily good haha
and half of his drivel is him bitching about forums user or something
what perk do i want on this thing instead of damage to flak?
stamina to +maniac (for mutants and dreg ragers); then Precognition into Slaughterer (if you pull out the Deimos more than a few times a match)
Replace stam by maniac%, what blessings do you have access to?
reginald is good if u like to feel like a hipster who uses bad weapons
Ryken made me try the MG4 and MG1A Lasgun and I actually liked it haha
Is that the same person as the lad that hangs out in the ogryn chat?
is that worth the item level?
if you're just using it as a oneshot stick against mutants, you'd probably just stick on unstable power
i would never in good faith tell someone to use an ironhelm over a crucis or put it on the same tier
Is ChocoB in Darktide server??
a weapon's overall level has no bearing on its performance
it's just a summary statistic
😄 😄 No. But feel free to bring it up anytime. It's a great meme.
a weapon could have 550 rating but absolutely terrible perks, blessings, and/or stat distribution
bro if u have a 550 the stat distribution cant actually be terrible
at best its kinda sad if u get a 60% in damage
Ironhelm I'd use over Crucis. But a chaxe? No. I tried. I really did...
that would be extremely sad
ironhelm is a worse crucis if you have any idea how to move your mouse around or hit the jump key
I'm using Ironhelm cause all my Crucis rolls have been shit
I feel "skill issued" ...
the base moveset is more awkward and the special does less damage
so keep deflector and replace precog with slaughter?
if the weapon's special like
Yea I’ll fear you will run off into nowhere xD
did more cleave damage
ye get salughter
hell if u made the thing have better cleave damage falloff across the board
it would be a viable alternative
ye; Precognition is one of the worst blessings because it has one of the worst activation conditions as well as one of the worst bonuses
but rn its just crucis with training wheels
It’s just bad habits for crucis
I've not played either after the Thrust normalization. How are the BPs?
significantly worse for ironhelm than crucis
crucis just requires slaughterer/chastise to 1 tap a crusher/mauler
mind flayer knife psyker
I'd rather Ironhelm special just have unlimited cleave, like a power sword... but hammer
its real
i dont think ironhelm can 1 shot a crusher
try it siblings
I’m actually genuinely curious on how you play with the knife now
I'm not your sibling, cousin
at the bottom of the scoreboard
thats where
It's no good asking questions like that...
ur not killin shit at any reasonable pace with that loadout
Oh I know that part, but I kinda want to see them struggle
If you ever record some gun psyker gameplay @ me

Playing as Vet on Hard Mode
you havn't lived untill you have triggerd mind flayer with a punch
Too bad Psyker doesn't have shovel
you use the knife’s punch??
YES
Im not in game anymorew
but it deez ones
sometimes I like to use my ult so it stunns something
then run behind it
and fully charged back stab it
Idk the knife blessing icons, what is that first one
executor
and then i have ruthless back stab
which is where is do the ult run behind and stab combo
Unhinged I love it
How I did this was just speed the video up 2x
Mind flayer punch somemthing to death
THEN judge me
This is fascinating, you play haz5 hi-int shock troops with it?
I like doing it with everything
A smooch 
that's sooo romantic
psyker's ult is a bit eh at times, but it is pretty useful when the time does come up, and psykinetic's aura makes it regen pretty quickly https://streamable.com/opdp0r
yeah, and it's a form of stagger that doesn't require you to go near the enemy (zealot, ogryn)
which is nice against trappers
the main downside is that sometimes the stagger doesn't work at all, which seems to happen if you ult while getting hit
which is why you see me going around that corner despite ulting into the trapper
because I don't want to risk my ult not working and me getting trapped into a rager
@spice veldt this is how I use the ult
my gamme crashed like two seconds later
so i think im pushing the boundries too far
knife psyker
knife psyker
@meager plinth I have evidence of knife psyker use
pro gaming that was too powerful for darktide to handle
i love getting games where 2 mouthbreathers cant fight a boss
and then a chaos spawn appears at the tunnel section of chasm logistratum
fun
Were you doing serpentines to dodge the sniper?
I find Chaos Spawn really easy to kill with a good team... and the worst boss that can wipe everyone with a bad team
it's a boss that you actually have to interact with instead of being trivially dodged (plague ogryn) or just being ran away from (bonbon)
It’s speed forces the team to work together quickly to deal with it, you cannot let 1 player alone with it compared to the other bosses
Anyone need or willing to help out with Malleus Monstronum?
#vox-lfg-lexicanum You'll find more success there
thanks!
You are welcome
serpentines do work in dodging ranged attacks, but probably not the way you think it does
Sprinting puts you in a dodge state against ranged attacks that are firing at you from a perpendicular angle, and this angle is based on the direction that your camera is facing, not the direction that you're moving in: https://streamable.com/pxqay1
its about sending a message
I exist in a perpetual state of slide
Im impervious to ranged enemies (most of the time)
I even slide at home
my drip is complete.

is it just me, or does the duelling sword do more damage than the stats show?
i gotta learn from em
i love me knife
probably just the weakspot multiplier
it's one of the weapons with a decent weakspot multiplier
we can't insert sound files imma gonna cry
no matter how good the illi sword is i find the knife just has more to offer
and maybe you tend to use it against the enemies that take extra melee damage (dogs, flamers, mutants)
on the mk5, the downswing does like 600 weakspot damage to the mutant
yeah, the mutie takes 3.75x melee damage
weird lol
nvm it takes 3x melee damage
i use it on my blazing spirit trauma build for mobility and defense and tearing ogyrns apart and i use it on my shredder build along with wrack and ruin to ramp the fuck outta bleed and soulblaze with the shredder blessings
lacerate+mercy killer is just baller
emp bless
I really want to like the knife again, but I'm a cc guy at heart and I can't bear the thought of parting with the Illisi's I've built
whats the best way to deal with the chasm boss? I find everytime i fight this boss we get through one cycle of his shield and by the time hes back up everyone is dead to shooters or split up by elites
and then im the only one on the boss
Well at least 2 guys has to focus their attention on the boss
Have 1 person deal with the horde
and 1 person deal with any Elites and Specials
We try
🙂
And also make sure to at least save 1 medipack. Drop it near where the boss is located.
I need help with a challenge
Which one
Push 20
I know but the ai is making it so hard
True
I just need some people to gather them
I am on one
there's some luck of the draw in getting teammates that can handle themselves
if the boss isn't aggroed onto you, then now's the best time to be hyper-aware of your teammate's positioning and sticking with them in case you or the other gets overwhelmed by specials/disablers
Maybe bringing the purg exclusively for the purposes of killing the trash quickly
yeah i should start bringing demios purge instead of deimos trauma
i just like trauma
what I run Deimos Trauma
yeah, sometimes you just need the ease of use and sweeping hordeclear of a flamethrower
(and hope that you don't get ranged spawns that peel the toughness of your entire team)
that boss fight can be so insanely brutal if the spawns decide to fuck you over
I can hop on; my steam id is in my name
i swear everytime its just shooters in the back and snipers
one or two mutants for good measure
@spice veldt https://streamable.com/1dq2fs i did it!!!!
(ive never had the braincells to remember u can 1 tap a mutie with slaughterer stacks before)
thats always satisfying
best part is unstable lets me pretty much always 2 shot it
if im not set up for one shot atm
Keep your distance finished
Now I just gotta play like 68 missions for mind over matter 3 lmao
i'm proud of you
thank u
I'm wondering if I came across you on a lobby while doing a premade
I think the guy did have black hair and the funny pirate visor
if it was a 4 man premade then u certainly didnt play with me
probably
i assume that I'm blocked by some people here because I can throw extremely hard sometimes

Im pretty sure i havent played with any of the regulars here, other than Tyr a few days ago
In pubs, at least
I doubt most exploitely show their name that they have in discord
I've kept mental notes of the names on the scoreboards people post here, and other than the super generic ones that tend to underperform, i havent seen anyone in my games
What makes the obscurus bad compared to the other force swords?
obscurus and deimos have a light stab that deals 2x the damage of the usual sweeping lights; however, on the Obscurus, it is the 3rd light past the infamously shit 2nd light
the deimos also has a heavy stab
Oh lmao
Yeah I like to light heavy light heavy big boys
I really enjoy the deimos
the special of obscurus/deimos is nice but also dangerous to use because it locks you in, and the deimos having that heavy stab pretty much sidesteps the need to ever use the special except for the stagger and flak bonus
the illisi has a power sword special without the horrible mobility that the power sword has
I use the special specifically on big boys like crushers or bulwarks when I can get around em
Ye, illisi special is really nice
I just like the Deimos moveset way more
p much
If I could sweep on the Deimos it'd be 10/10
I'm fine with the obscurus' moveset, but the deimos is significantly easier to make use of, and it has a more accessible light stab and the heavy stab
Deimos just feels like Saltz rapier without a pistol
and it doesn't have a shitty uppercut
It's very nice
I haven't used obscurus much lately if I'm honest, only vaguely remember it from months ago
i mained the obscurus for 400-ish hours before the new force swords dropped because I've always liked the infinite dodges
Is that intended?
I still have mine 
presumably
I was playing with the force swords and I was like "there's no way infinite dodge was intended"
it's a weird case because it has short dodges but also has one of the faster cooldowns between continuous dodges
Oh wait shit
infinite dodges is probably intended, but it's also not balanced at all lemayo
This was my last one i used
I haven't been touched by a boss since I learned Infinite dodges existed
Nor most enemies for that matter
And they work so well with Deimos pokes cause of the range

am sorry but I had to do what I had to do
I'm still playing around with staves to see which I really really like
All I can tell is some are good for some circumstances
Which is good, but weird cause when I play Vet I use like 1 gun and 1 melee
and none of psyker staffs are really an analog to a bullet gun
i don't really like any of psyker's current staffs because they all have charge secondaries, but I like trauma and purg the most because the worth you get out of each secondary counteracts the shitty ass charge
It feels like using a helbore...
I wish the purgatus had the same mechanic as the flamer. I'm glad that it's not the other way around.
If only they had a charge lmb / quell rmb like plasma
Purg feels nice into hordes, and I guess I'm more of a deimos guy so that's cool. Surge is was nice for don't get bad touched by elites. Frankly I just hate aiming trauma m2
It feels bad to me
you can quell using the reload key, is that not what you mean?
I had to move the reload key to capslock on my keyboard. Felt easier to use while moving around
also, a good tip is getting a force sword you like, and any rank of Deflector blessing on it, then get used to using it as a force shield, and you need to face gunners to block bullets
I would use a thumb button on my mouse if I had more than 2
you need to find a key you're comfortable with
you need to quell constantly as a psyker
Capslock is the best ATM I feel
if it works, it works
I use 'V' as my quell since I have dodge on my shift
I have dodge on the mouse since vermintide. Now it's crouch + dodge
ok i just put blitz on capslock and reload quell on the wheel button, it's better in think
Greetings brain trust
Relatable
What is wrong with R
Ask the other guy
R is fine to quell, the one you really wanna swap is slide, ideally onto something on your mouse
Helps if you have BB on the mouse too
(on a button, not the damn wheel)
R locks you out of rightwards movement without some awkward placement from your other digits
Why???
NOt hard to press ctrl
You are very slow when quelling anyway, so it does not matter
Because its more efficient and you can leverage it much more frequently and effectively
depends on your keyboard and hand size
very small hands
the milliseconds certainly do matter
no
yes
Yeah they do
Ever mis-timed your ult by like 0.000025s before?
I would say every milisecond counts
no
my reaction time is extremely shit, so minor improvements are the difference between me getting pounced or trapped
So you mean to tell me you've never accidentally exploded yourself by muckin up the timing?
Because we both know thats a fucken lie
well mine is excellent
no
how the fuck you can fuck up the timing of ult lmao
it is literally impossible
unless you are like 90 years old i suppose
Yeah.. enjoy your malice games holmes
You are just too bad
how the fuck cna you fuck u timing of F
You start seeing you exploding
you press F
how can you fuck it up?
I dont think you realise how stupid this looks to experienced psyker players lad..
Bitch, i am more experienced than you
Ofc you are 
what a fuckn clown you are
Solution: just don't explode 
It's not too hard to keep track of peril imo
what is your result here? https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime
It is not, but there will always be times where you're very close the edge, and if that isnt frequent in your gameplay, you're leaving a shitton of DPS on the table
it is, in fact, very easy
my reaction time is average if I have nothing else to focus on
especially since you have some extra leeway considering you can go somewhat abouve 100
like with BB
it takes a decently long time for me to build up some good muscle memory to react to events properly
so it is not exactly shit
i mean my reaction time under absolutely no mental load is average
but it is absolutely shit if I'm distracted by something else
e.g., I don't react to the sound cues of snipers well
96% is a full burst yep
how old are you>?
20
U should be able to dodge the sniper shot a mile away 9/10 times
you should have good reactions
hence why I label my reaction time as shit
First shot seems to be always faster than every subsequent
If your always moving then sniper shots will more than likely miss u most of the time
as i said, first show is always sudden
Though you can kinda guess the location of snipers most of the time if u play the map alot so it's never an issue for me to get sniper in da back
I get hit by the first shot a lot, when i am unaware of sniper presence
But if i know one is around, i never get hit
do you do "cool guys don't look at brainbusting" btw?
all you have to do is just listen for the weird ACK sound the snipers make
Actually a good habit to have to keep awareness
an example of good reaction time and visual awareness https://streamable.com/oxvonm
Like when you BB someone who you know will die from that BB, you look around instead of looking at the target
Nah, i would not dodge this one either, this is exactly what i was talking about, this one was very sudden
it's in my vision, so I should've dodged it
and there was more than ample time to dodge it
Out of habit I dodge n slide when BB cause u walk like a snail
skill issue
I love invisible lasers don’t you
Is this good?
tbf human's reaction time is faster to sound than visual
Also don't u love it when the audio cue doesn't play till they leave spawn 
just that for me, it's faster to recognize the visual cue of a god damn sniper's muzzle flash
Eh? If you are running a blazing crit build you can swap run n gun for nexus
stats are good, 1 blessing is ok even if not optimal, another is trash
don't know about perks
Perks arent great, blessings are eh. You can make a blazing spirit trauma with this but you'd need to ask Pygex about that
Crit and nexus iirc
But I’d honestly just reroll entirely ngl
People who run blazing crit either have no clue what they are doing or are super good no in between
Upgrade into blue, if i dont get what i want, i start over
Unless its a really good base
I go to orange on pretty much everything actually
For wte reason it’s almost always a t4 blessing on orange for me nowadays
it feels like its a higher rate on orange
Negatory, bad perks
yeah its been more common for a while now
Perks often add more to your DPS than blessings do
just never the one you want
... have not seen one for days
you all just lucky
Idk, i've just been really lucky with rolling whenever i feel like playing
I rolled these 2 back to back
Within 5 minutes of each other
i hate you
I rolled this 10 minutes after the Illisi patch as well
Its a decent base, perks arent great, again
But the blessings are good
You can switch either one of them to slaughterer and it'll be great
Low warp res makes unstable a lot better as well
Switch that shred
that's me

Blazing crit is funsies, set a whole horde on fire without using noob-tier purge staff
Not as good as Void wi/Surge though
Christ i adore that
@feral verge @spice veldt so i tried 142 tg 192 hp, 60n tg regen and 20 stam regen
Stack it all into HP mang
