psyker-class

[smoky wigeon]

OR just whenver the % goes down?

[spice veldt]

all sources of quelling

so passive quelling, transfer peril, battle meditation also work

[smoky wigeon]

So even if its going down NATURALLY?! Wow that seems p good

Oh okay thanks so much

Think that may be better than the TOughness with warp kill

I think >>

[spice veldt]

yeah Quietude is a pretty comfy feat

[smoky wigeon]

Will the electric staff stagger p much EVERYTHING?

[spice veldt]

more generalist than warp absorption, though quietude doesn't give a lot of burst toughness while in combat

[feral verge]

it will stagger everything, including muties

however it is limited to 7 targets

and those 7 targets are random

so it is totally rng if you are trying to stun a mutie in the middle of a horde

and sometimes, muties just decide to ignore the stun

it cannot be relied upon all the time

[broken carbon]

everything in my melk shop is under 340 power

wtf lmfao

[cosmic sigil]

Except if you run exorcist

[rapid bear]

So do I keep my current one on the right, or do I buy the left-hand one and put Warp Flurry IV on it instead of Run 'n' Gun, so I gain Terrifying Barrage suppression instead of having uninterruptable channels? One on the left also has the bigger cloud radius for roughly the same damage. I could also just keep the left-hand one and throw terrifying barrage on it instead of focused channeling, I suppose, but I'd have Flurry III instead of Flurry IV in that case (loses up to 10% charge time reduction at max stacks).

(Obviously I'd have to get rid of the +1 stamina.)

[harsh cobalt]

Damn that's a roll and a half on those stats

[rapid bear]

I suppose part of the question is, does Terrifying Barrage even do anything on a Purgatus, compared to the fire itself?

[olive ember]

Ngl you want flurry + nexus so both are kinda eh

[rapid bear]

Interesting! So Nexus on the right-hand would be the preference over Focused Channeling?

[olive ember]

Nexus is always preferred over focused channeling

focused channeling is what I call a "skill issue" blessing

90% of players only get use out of it if they get skill issue'd

[burnt maple]

how good is the purg staff vs abominations?

[lunar hollow]

sneed

[olive ember]

meh non of psyker's stuff is particularly good against abominations imo

tho purge is alright but you'd have to run unyielding on it which isn't worth imo

[olive ember]

you are a part of that 90% lmao

you ain't no arco

[spice veldt]

I like focused channeling for sprinting into shooters

[rapid bear]

Good to know! I figured with the short range there was a use for it, but that sounds like I should just keep my eyes open for Nexus IV and put it on the right to up the damage.

[lunar hollow]

derpy out of the last like 5 games we've played you consistently had god awful damage you have no right to call me the "90%"

[olive ember]

I also don't play like a suicidal maniac

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lunar hollow]

nope instead you drag and then ledge urself

[olive ember]

idk why you people decided to fuck off after a dog and a burster spawned but

looks like the only number that matters is the number of revives you did

is it true?

if i teamkill but i get the revive its a +1 for preformance metrics

the game thinks im better at the game, hehehe

im glad they do, i guess its a badge of honor to get from you, Josho?

[lunar hollow]

i suppose

[twilit flicker]

if i could give you a headpat for that response i would, at least youre not arrogant

[olive ember]

purge kills mauler in one full charge, surge is eh, voidstrike is bad, trauma is decent at CC'ing em but meh at killing em imo

[spice veldt]

yeah prob purg for just killing groups of maulers

[burnt maple]

alright cool, i was using a VS and we got a mauler pack with crushers mixed in

[spice veldt]

yeah maulers have enough hitmass to eat the entire cleave of a fully charged ball

and not having impressive single-target DPS by any measure

prob better off brainbursting them at that point

[frozen osprey]

the sky the ceiling cloudss stars

[swift vault]

So dumb question, since one of these is inherently 'the good one'. I'm deciding between slaughterer, unstable power and exorcist for my high peril force sword (illisi MK V) build. I'm just farting around on difficulty 4 so naturally it's not the end of the world.

I've gotten good use out of exorcist to stay hovering around 100 peril semi-safely. Unstable power has some implicit synergy with my build but caps at +5% power. And slaughterer is, well, slaughterer. And I take that sword into crowds.

[spice veldt]

unstable power's description is straight up wrong

it's 20% power max; you gain 5% power per stack; a stack is gained at 20/40/60/80% peril thresholds

[swift vault]

That's so incredibly darktide, but that does sound handy

[spice veldt]

I personally like unstable power over exorcist, but I can see how you would get mileage out of exorcist by following a special with an attack to quell without needing to actively quell or wait for the passive quell

[swift vault]

Yeah it sets up a really braindead rhythm, which for a spell led to me constantly periling (after I switched out swords and lost exorcist)

the other skill on the sword is bloodthirsty 4, which is...alright, but not meta by any means. Basically I get a crit after getting a special kill

[spice veldt]

the one breakpoint that unstable notably pushes you over is one-shotting groaners (200 hp) with the minimum cleave damage of a heavy-special (with 4 warp charges, max t4 slaught stacks, and warp unleashed, >40% peril), so that enables you to potentially one-shot 25+ groaners
prob some other breakpoints that I don't know about

[swift vault]

hm, Im leaning that way then I think. Slaughterer is great and all, but the window of UP is much more viable as I try to stay at like 50-80 peril consistently

[spice veldt]

yeah especially as an initial damage boost without having killed anything first

[swift vault]

thanks for helping me hash that out, maybe down the line I'll get lucky and have more freedom with the second blessing

which tbh, bloodthirsty is usable still

[spice veldt]

yeah, the damage boost is higher than unstable as long as you can get a kill

here are some quick numbers

[swift vault]

UP is much more consistent because of the way I roll

[lyric burrow]

Whats even a good bloodthirsty build

[spice veldt]

yeah I like the consistency as well

[lyric burrow]

Unstable/bloodthirsty

?

To encourage use of the specials

[spice veldt]

slaughterer + bloodthirsty at the least

[swift vault]

Well, one that buffs crit damage? Without necessarily crit chance. It gives a guaranteed crit after a special kill, so maybe exorcist would help

yeah that combo would synergize great actually

[lyric burrow]

Exorcist is just very finnicky

[spice veldt]

slaughterer is just way too good to pass up at the moment

[swift vault]

yeah its broken p much, but at my level I dont need the best of the best

[lyric burrow]

So slaughterer bloodthirsty would just be for destroying single target

[swift vault]

I used to use a revolver on my psyker

[spice veldt]

or destroying mixed hordes

since the first three targets hit in a cleave by a special will take +47.4% damage

[lyric burrow]

Id like to run it on deimos for bosses but killing a regular enemy before hand could actually be weird

[swift vault]

well, often enough I get saddled with 'kill the adds' duty in boss fights anyway

[lyric burrow]

Just cause i might get mauled doing 2 specials back to back with deimos

[swift vault]

while the veteran hoses down the boss with a boltgun special spray

[lyric burrow]

Yeah i usually run purge for it

Just horde clear

Deimos in case

Unless its chasm boss then i just hope we dont get all gunners

[swift vault]

Did somebody call for a bomb??

[lyric burrow]

I hate that boss so much

Lets just throw everything in the game

Into a boss arena

[burnt maple]

chasm boss arena is real good at making a smooth solid run into a fast wipe

[twilit flicker]

it too open, the game changes when theres no choke points to use

[burnt maple]

i just try to kill horde when my groups get there

[ornate hamlet]

Trying to learn how to be a proper crazy space wizard. how do I start ?

[shy prairie]

You press M2 and then M1 with the trauma staff.

Stuff explodes.

[ornate hamlet]

hehe sounds good

[mental canyon]

Anyone else notice Blazing Spirit only works half the time, even on critical hit?

And Bloodthirsty doesn't proc It for some reason

[swift vault]

You then equip a gun to troll the clinically try-hard, even if you have better staff options. Now, you'll never see those people in game but boy howdy will they get mad in the discord

also the force swords and duelling swords, the psyker's unique melee options, are really sweet and shouldnt be overlooked

[spice veldt]

10/10 would go down a dropdown without checking and get blasted by a ranged patrol again

gunners are so menacing when there's no cover; couldn't move or do anything cuz I didn't spot them early enough

[lunar hollow]

real ascension riser hours

2 spots where u can go down a dropdown and be introduced to the meaning of overwhelming fire

[spice veldt]

real

a vet trusted me too much and jumped down

then the lvl 22 psyker dropped down as well

[lunar hollow]

if that vet went down im disappointed

[spice veldt]

the only smart person was the plasmagun vet

all of us died except the plasmagun vet

who made it a fair way along until a plague ogryn spawned

[lunar hollow]

my favorite thing to do as vet is play the game of "how many bullets can i eat today"

stand directly in the line of fire of as many gunners as possible and begin blasting

[dawn crypt]

Deimos force sword: Should i use Deflector or Uncanny strike? with slaughterer of course

[ornate hamlet]

What dose the force block thing on the force swords actually do. Is it just a big knock back or dose it actually do damage ?

[spice veldt]

it's a single-target strong stagger that does no damage

[ornate hamlet]

can it stagger Ogryns ?

[spice veldt]

it knocks crushers and reapers down yeah

[ornate hamlet]

good to know

[spice veldt]

it can also guardbreak bulwarks if you push-attack them while they're swinging

though they usually get the brainburst treatment

[ornate hamlet]

I am quickly learning to brainburst any specials asap

[calm sapphire]

Reapers when u have no cover and backed to a wall

[olive ember]

simply use deflector

BE the wall

[shadow wigeon]

You may be doing something wrong? Bloodthirsty procs blazing spirit. The crit is on the hit after you kill with special.

[mental canyon]

Idk I've triple checked It using debuff mod

[mental canyon]

Even regular crits only apply the soul blaze like half the time

[shadow wigeon]

Is there a mod to show crits?

[mental canyon]

You can see crits without mod

[shadow wigeon]

You cannot

[mental canyon]

Debuff mod just helps seeing the blaze stacks

[shadow wigeon]

After getting a special kill with bloodthirsty, the bloodthirst buff appears for 5 seconds. The next hit with the buff is soul blaze.

[mental canyon]

So you have to get a kill with bloodthirsty

[shadow wigeon]

Bloodthirsty is 100% crit on the hit AFTER you kill with charged attack.

It's not very good.

[mental canyon]

So really Its just another blessing thats not described correctly

[shadow wigeon]

The language could be clearer, but it sort of makes sense.

[shadow wigeon]

You don't see crits

[mental canyon]

So I'm seeing weakspot hits then..

[shadow wigeon]

Correct

[mental canyon]

I guess that begs the question why can't you see crits

[cyan notch]

you can

theres a swoosh sound

and a like a red trail on your swing

[mental canyon]

I've been sharing a lot of false information today It seems

[shadow wigeon]

Sorry should have been clearer - I meant in HUD, there are 3 color indicators on reticle: kill, weak spot, hit.

Yeah crits are hidden in sounds and graphics. Very hard to see in game though. Gun crits are visible in the same way.

A bit late but there's a way to ... almost... select missions now.

[hollow steeple]

should i bother swapping to the left one?
or should i play with it for soulblaze shenanigans

[late yew]

blazing spirit requires nexus

[limber silo]

Well considering you don't have bonus crit on either, your set up kinda sucks

[hollow steeple]

obviously I can just swap warp flurry for warp nexus and reroll carapace to crit (though I doubt I would)

[limber silo]

Let me correct myself nvm, Salty said it already

[late yew]

then there is no point in using blazing spirit

you must dedicated to crit

[limber silo]

Yeah, why use the crit blessing with out crit? You currently have a blessing that only works 5% of the time

[spice veldt]

because you can just use the trauma near 100% peril

[limber silo]

Wdym?

He has no nexus

[hollow steeple]

I would swap for Warp Nexus, obviously
It's carapace -> crit that I wouldn't likely bother with

[spice veldt]

here he says that he's going to swap to warp nexus?

[limber silo]

Okay so 30% crit at max right?

[spice veldt]

like he's getting crit from nexus

[limber silo]

Unless you don't swap carapace

I would say swap the carapace and use deimos for carapace

[hollow steeple]

honestly I haven't really found my deimos particularly good vs crushers because I always get my ass beat trying to kill them with my slaughterer/uncanny strike deimos
i'm probably just gonna swap it to deflector so I can panic block when I position badly

[spice veldt]

I usually brainburst crushers instead of potentially whiffing a dodge against them in melee

[ornate hamlet]

sus

[hollow steeple]

yup, that's my usual plan

much safer

[ornate hamlet]

I just BB because it's the best damage my loadouts have against them

[spice veldt]

I forget if you can kill a crusher in two BBs after trauma-ing them w/o rending shockwave or +carapace

good

[ornate hamlet]

thanks, I like recharging my energies and waking up renewed

[oblique gulch]

debating swapping to the left one and slapping on slaughterer for precognition

and flak for the current block efficiency

[ornate hamlet]

A nice idea

The warp resist can be an oof oof for some depending on what they aim to do, but having maniac and flak is welcome

[oblique gulch]

yeah I just don't know if deflector should be a must have or not

I don't use it that much, but am curious if people do use it quite a bit

[lunar hollow]

eh, the blessings on the left one aren't really that good for a force sword

[spice veldt]

depends on how comfortable you are with the game's movement system

[lunar hollow]

ideally u want something like slaughterer + unstable/deflector

[oblique gulch]

yeah exactly my point

[lunar hollow]

exorcist and precog are both kinda not that helpful

[oblique gulch]

which is why I have had this deimos for a min and not swapped

so I was seeing opinions

[spice veldt]

though if I were playing to win, I'd probably choose deflector over an offensive blessing no matter how comfortable I am with the game's movement system

[oblique gulch]

yeah I think i agree

deflector slaughterer is probably best combo for blessings huh

I guess I'll just wait for a better one because the dmg increase isn't an ass ton

[lunar hollow]

psyker is the class that fucks with my muscle memory the most already

cuz u cant infinite dodge on any other class

i don't want to ruin my stupid brain further by getting used to running deflector

[oblique gulch]

yeah but what else would you run

like shred?

[spice veldt]

spamming dodges makes me forget that I have to actually time my dodges sometimes

like whiffing my dodges against maulers

prob unstable power

[lunar hollow]

unstable power

[spice veldt]

the description of unstable power is straight up wrong

[oblique gulch]

oh really?

what does it actually do

[spice veldt]

it goes up to 20% power max at t4; you get a stack at 20/40/60/80% peril thresholds; each stack grants 5% power

[oblique gulch]

interesting

[spice veldt]

so it works similar to warp nexus in that aspect, though it gives power instead of crit chance

[oblique gulch]

why would they bust the wording like that tho

like just put 4 stacks wtf

[spice veldt]

I think warp nexus and unstable power used to have similar descriptions

but the weird thing is that they (somewhat) fixed warp nexus's description

and didn't touch unstable power's at all

truly boggles the mind

[oblique gulch]

yeah

[cosmic sigil]

I think i have tested almost every blessing with slaughterer4. What works for me the best is having a warp resist no higher than 60 to go high as fast as possible to power the shield and the DMG. And for the blessings unstable + warp unleashed and exorcist + quietude.

I should try deflector + deflection again maybe

And executor too maybe

[safe crystal]

Warp nexus, iirc, always stated it went from 5 --> 20, but has never clarified when you get a stack, or if it gave stacks linearly

This was the old description back in December/January

[lunar hollow]

No it's still just as strong as it's always been. SB burn on flack was tuned down from 2000% to 150% but that was ages ago

[restive slate]

Ah so that might have been what I heard

Advisable to go 6 warp stacks?

[spice veldt]

it was nerfed from 200% to 100% and then buffed up to 150%, which is where we are at now

(rip devastating strike)

[fluid knot]

Well hey, at least we havent seen too much in teh way of scorched earth nerfs

Devastating was a loss tho

[shadow onyx]

skill issue i'd say

they probably coded burn with same key word than soulburn

it wont surprise me

[fluid knot]

Ofc they did, easy to program, doubt they realised how over the top flamer was gonna be

[shadow onyx]

lazy to program

[fluid knot]

Rushed werent it, corners were cut

[shadow onyx]

such a silly move to think coding the same way 2 separate dots with their own mecanichs and origins will not create conflicts in further balance

and here we are

[fluid knot]

Eh, at least they sorted it out in the longer term

[shadow onyx]

its still a nerf

a lesser nerf indeed

but still

sb should ignore any armor

and they should revamp the entire dot system

its so outworldy complex for nothing

just put some basics stacks

for emperor sake

15 dmg per stack, max x20

done

[fluid knot]

Nah, i fully disagree with that

Purga already has insane killing power on everything that isnt armoured

It doesnt need to burn carapace to a crisp unless you work for it

[shadow onyx]

purgatus have almost 50% more reach and stagger everything on top

i mean

flamer

mb

[fluid knot]

Flamer doesnt really do it anymore outside using Zealot's F an even then its so costly on ammo its not worth tbh

Might as well just smash it over the dome a few times

[shadow onyx]

purgatus stagger nothing , ennemies ignore you and travel through you

short range

risk of suicide

[fluid knot]

Then dont stand there like a melon trying to burn shit when they're in melee range

I see a LOT of purga psykers doing that an getting thier shit pushed in as a result

[spice veldt]

purg's stagger is fine to me esp with the LMB

[shadow onyx]

idk i feel i was nerfed hard

i may be wrong

[spice veldt]

maybe just coming from zealot

[fluid knot]

It was nerfed a bit, its still one of the best choices because it deals good damage to 90% of targets

Also by far the most user friendly staff imo

[shadow onyx]

its one of the best choice because other staves are pretty meh

i mean surge is a joke

[fluid knot]

Not at all, its all about application

Even Surge, though the weakest currently, still has a valuable place if you're using it to stun threats in a furball

An we dont struggle with melee anymore which helped it out a lot

[spice veldt]

trauma is comparable on account of also having infinite cleave, albeit in a smaller circular area

[shadow onyx]

trauma need further babysit from a career especialy fragile

[fluid knot]

no..

[spice veldt]

you do not need to be far away to use trauma

[fluid knot]

You dont need to be babysat at all with any of em if you're half cop at melee

Like psyker has arguably the best melee weapons in the game now

[shadow onyx]

every single psyker i see with trauma cannot handle horde or mixed without a frontlane

[spice veldt]

pub Psyker moment not using their melee

[fluid knot]

Aye it do be like that

[shadow onyx]

melee ? you mean ilisi because other options are meh vs horde ?

[fluid knot]

Deimos can do horde fine, psyker gets C'axes and T'axes which can also clear fine

[spice veldt]

the other force swords are fine for the purposes of holding a hotde

[fluid knot]

Heck, you can even use a knife with a good roll an still not lose too much

[spice veldt]

since slaughterer + 1 bar cost + one of the better push stats on the game does wonders

[shadow onyx]

deimos and any slaughterer are ok in horde but you cannot sweep as fast as a real horde sweeper with nice horizontals and huge cleave, deimos will force you in a greater extend to have more space management etc

[fluid knot]

So it has a slightly higher barrier to entry.. it still works totally fine

[spice veldt]

if I'm not using the special, I still have to occasionally push if I don't want to get whacked

[fluid knot]

Though this is true of a lot of "off-meta" melee choices, if you're a mechanically good player, everything works

[shadow onyx]

yeah you can probably do a t5 hi with a catachan grey

doesnt mean its fine or good

at the equal skill level you will perform better with certain weapons

[ornate hamlet]

Can only run the meta so much before it gets boring

[shadow onyx]

you could put me in front of emperor god of humanity with a rapier vs me with ilisi

he could not match me

[cyan notch]

i could

[spice veldt]

the discussion of the effectiveness of a weapon and how fun it is is separate

[shadow onyx]

i hate ilisi so yeah i guess

jk

[spice veldt]

trauma tends to spread enemies around so I do supplement it with the illisi

[fluid knot]

Sorry brainboxes, but the best melee in game is Ogg shovel

[shadow onyx]

yeah thats why i dont like it

and why i hate ogryns

[fluid knot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1044892415716245504/1119223202401501185/bully.mp4

[spice veldt]

pub grenadier gauntlet Ogryn's have trolled me so much by knocking shooters down below the horizontal swing of my illisi

[steel flame]

I would much rather have exponential damage based on stacks rather than flat

[shadow onyx]

fair, but the actual system is lame

[spice veldt]

I also hate pub trauma psykers

[shadow onyx]

sam

e

[spice veldt]

i think I've encountered only one trauma Psyker who noticeably used their melee and had at least 100k melee damage

the rest just put their little god damn circle on me AND their build can't one-shot poxwalkers or bruisers so they just spread em out like butter

[cyan notch]

me when rumbler ogryn

[lyric burrow]

I will admit i am somewhat guilty of heavily using the trauma staff but once you get a good one it feels insane enough i barely need to use my deimos other than for close hordes and elites

[candid lava]

Sparkeads, I need a few more braincells.
I'm using this for trauma, but I just got Rending4

Should I remove Focused?

Is Warp Nexus any good on trauma?

[spice veldt]

nexus isn't good without blazing spirit

[cyan notch]

sucks

[spice veldt]

feel free to removed focused channeling if you think brittleness is more important than the utility focused gives

[candid lava]

[spice veldt]

with that high of a damage stat, you only need +6.4% (oops, it's +5.3%) damage to one-shot poxwalkers, where two warp charges will suffice

[candid lava]

so - flak?

[spice veldt]

that's what I personally go for to two-shot dreg gunners and deal a bit more damage to scab ragers/maulers

[knotty river]

is it still worth to try and upgrade this despite the first target fiasco?

[candid lava]

Thanks @spice veldt

Josho has a point - this chat is much like the zealot chat, only - useful

[cyan notch]

u dont even need warp charges if u have warp unleashed

[spice veldt]

you're losing something along the lines of 20% damage so it's not amazing, but feel free to upgrade it if it's better than anything you have; block efficiency isn't a promising perk to start with

[candid lava]

oh, another question for Warp Absorption:
Warp Attack = Force Sword Special, Staff, BB?

[knotty river]

allright thanks

[spice veldt]

ye, as well as Soulblaze kills (Soulblaze must land the killing blow)

[knotty river]

hadron decided i need to block a lot so i decided to stop here ... thanks for the input

[spice veldt]

f

at least unstable power isn't totally terrible

[safe crystal]

Thanks i guess Hadron

[wheat quartz]

Siblings, is it empirically worth going for Nexus 4 over Nexus 3 for Purge or is it really a wash

[cosmic sigil]

Keep uncanny and reroll CRIT chance?

[safe crystal]

Nah i ripped the riposte out of it

Its worse than my current one now

[strong thicket]

Uncanny is borderline useless on it

[cosmic sigil]

Even if you use l1h2?

[lethal folio]

Uncanny makes killing crushers easier and lets you lightspam into ragers/bucketheads.

[ornate hamlet]

Imagine if, all of a sudden, we get free longcoats straight from the Commissariat.

Even the Ogryn.

[safe crystal]

Uncanny has value to me for some... Other purposes, assuming it still works

But that sword was just a straight up downgrade

Other than the stats

[lethal folio]

It does still work.

[cosmic sigil]

That's what I was thinking. But i think it doesn't work with the special, right?

[lethal folio]

Correct, but stabbing is often better. Special is for safe secure picks.

[cosmic sigil]

Like lone mutie bullying my friend yeah

[chrome arch]

So, I am starting to think that there is a sound cue when Nomanus crits
as melees have that woosh when they crit, I think zapzap staff's sound cue goes upward in scale when it ends with a crit

But maybe its sound is simply random

[hard breach]

Gotta say i think these psyker cosmetics are the best thus far

[lethal folio]

Surge staff has a humming noise when it crits, it also makes the lightning last longer.

[hard breach]

I like seeing the little sparks on em 🙂

[lethal folio]

also on a crit the sparks also come from the right hand.

[chrome arch]

Nice, thought so!

Yea Psyker Drip has the Sauce ngl

Guess they'll be the first one to buy 2400aq set for one day

[strong thicket]

Dump stat on purgatus?

[safe crystal]

Quell and damage, you'd rather have quell being the actual dump though

[strong thicket]

And I assume I want infested and flak? As perks

[frozen osprey]

Shininess

[safe crystal]

Crit/flak/unyielding

The trashmobs die fast enough already, you benefit from either stacking up the DoT faster (crits), higher damage on things that can have max stacks (unyielding) or being better at taking out mixed hordes (flak)

[prisma condor]

[olive ember]

Dear god a revolver

[kind jay]

not a surge staff? Hold [x] to barter

[olive ember]

TRUE

[nova dirge]

So wrong

[fluid knot]

Shame, excellent weapon on Zealot

Ass on everyone else

[olive ember]

Even on zealot it’s trash

[fluid knot]

Not if you use it properly it aint kek

Its a supplement to your melee, when something nasty runs up on you, whip it out, put two into its dome, swap back to melee, you shouldnt even take hits in the time you're shooting if you do it right

[lethal folio]

If two headshots were enough to kill it would be fine.

you need 5 straight headshots to kill a flamer.

[fluid knot]

Sadly you do need near on 80% in everything other than mobility, but yeah, if you have the roll, its totally fine

Then dont dump the whole mag into it.. shoot it twice, put it on the deck an finish it off with melee

As i said, supplement to melee, not your dedicated elite/specialist killer

[safe crystal]

Why switch to my ranged at all if i can just whack it with my melee?

[fluid knot]

Peirce my dude, it has infinite cleave so if summat runs in the way it makes no odds

[safe crystal]

It cleaves 6 hitmass

[spice veldt]

it absolutely does not have infinite cleave

[fluid knot]

Sadly it is indeed outperformed by Kantreal shotty atm, but its still totally usable

[safe crystal]

Its voidstrike but far worse

[fluid knot]

Fuckin feels like it 😂 I dont think ive ever had one instance when running it where i couldnt hit what i pointed it at

[fluid knot]

Literal skill issue tbh

[safe crystal]

I guess it is

I just cant see how the revolver is a good weapon when it hits for 300 on the things that you want to kill, and they ahve 800- 1500 hp

[fluid knot]

Its a quickdraw weapon, apply it accordingly

[safe crystal]

If im close enough to just shoot twice and then finish with melee, might as well skip the revolver part and just whack with melee

[fluid knot]

Its not menna put out giga-tier bolter damage

[steel flame]

Screw this crafting slot machine. Spent the last 3 days looking for this stupid surge void staff. Gone through about 2mil gold and 30k plasteel and still don't freaking have it......

[fluid knot]

I got that last month, been playing psyker since beta..

So if thats anything to go by.. yeah you'll be waiting a while

[tidal scaffold]

You don't need the super super god tier roll to do good

[fluid knot]

Surge doesnt give you a god roll really, its just fun to play wit

[steel flame]

Your right I don't but I cant even get a shitty roll either

[safe crystal]

I quickly applied the revolver on the shelf after figuring out it cant really do much, does that count?

[fluid knot]

It is after all dependent on crits so by its very nature its inconsistent

[fluid knot]

you do you boo

[steel flame]

I have a staff to put it on I just need the blessing

[tidal scaffold]

Ah farming for blessing

Yea pain in the ass

[steel flame]

Waste of fucking time. I play tide games because they are fun not to waste time in slots so I can play the way I want

[hard breach]

So not my intended thing to get for this staff, but how is this?

It's not locked on anything yet

[spice veldt]

very nice to have +flak and rending shockwave

[hard breach]

originally i was hoping it'd give me Blazing Spirit but rending shockwave looks nice to have too

[spice veldt]

rending shockwave is a bit niche since it'll really only be useful against crushers and for teammates that know about it/have a purgatus, but it is a nice thing (mostly by process of elimination)

[vagrant hollow]

do you think left one is better or not?

[ember charm]

Hello Siblings, I have an illisi with T4 Deflector, what would be better as a second Blessing, Shred 3 or Unstable Power 4 ?

[spice veldt]

If the choice is between Shred or Unstable Power, then it will be Unstable Power;
The description of Unstable Power is straight-up wrong. You get a stack at 20/40/60/80% peril thresholds; each stack grants 5% power at T4, so you'll get 20% power max at >80% peril.

Though you'd preferably want Slaughterer over both of those.

[ember charm]

Don't have acces to slaughter, also I wish I knew better I ended up getting rid of the weapon with UNstable 4

[worn canopy]

Still haven’t seen a single deflector sword this whole time

[olive ember]

rng'ed

[tidal scaffold]

I was surprised when someone told e deflector exists

[rigid blade]

What’s the current meta feat selection for a Soulblaze build?

And does it count as a warp attack?

[spice veldt]

soulblaze does indeed proc Warp Absorption as long as it is the killing blow

[rigid blade]

I can do some adjusting then. Thanks

[olive ember]

define "soulblaze build"

cuz the only soulblaze build thats actually good is trauma soulblaze

[rigid blade]

Mostly uses Purgatus

[rigid blade]

Oof

[olive ember]

oh that too

sry I'm too used to talkign about blazing spirit builds i completley forgot about purge staff, which is pretty much meta

i'd suggest 3/1/1/1/1/2 tbh

tho any toughness regen feat works on purge staff

[rigid blade]

What’s the trauma one?

[olive ember]

blazing spirit 3 + warp nexus 4, tho I'm not the one to talk about it

probably better off asking someone who runs it like pygex

[weary idol]

hey Warp nexus gives crit chance right?

[kind jay]

yes

[weary idol]

right cause I got a quality potential meme roll for this trauma staff

and I wanna see if it makes the finger guns actually usable

[olive ember]

oh you want to make an lmb build

[snow coral]

TIL if you're in an open area with multiple levels and there is a DH if you walk over it on another 'floor' it'll still trigger it

[kind jay]

just things

[weary idol]

yes, for the funny you see

[ornate hamlet]

shiver me timbers, lad

[weary idol]

not using the revolver

not fully commited to the piracy

[ornate hamlet]

[weary idol]

don't use the revolver

save yourself

[worn canopy]

rnGG

[ornate hamlet]

[worn canopy]

What is that jacket from anyways

[strong thicket]

So for the purgatus. Do warp flurry and nexus work?

[ornate hamlet]

idis wadidis

[cyan portal]

Yes that is meta

[safe crystal]

Yes

[latent tree]

Are we a top tier psker in darktide

[smoky wigeon]

Just hit 30...is this a good starter weapon?

[tropic vigil]

for a new sword right at level 30 yes.

[smoky wigeon]

Okay cool.

[tropic vigil]

you have already got slaughterer 4 so half of the hard work is already done.

[smoky wigeon]

Oh nice

What stat on the sword is the dumb?

Mobility?

[tropic vigil]

the finesse is low, but just find a good illisi with solid stats later on, you will want to have lower warp resistance. once you get that you can take slaughterer out .

having a low warp res lets you generate peril faster, which works well if you can get good perks like unstable.

so i would just stick with that sword until you have enough dockets to gamble at the vendor for a better stat sword, then go to hadron and put slaughterer iv in the bank.

[smoky wigeon]

Awesome okay cool thanks!

[spice veldt]

if you're not running a gun, psyker melees will want +Flak and +Maniac as the perks

[ornate hamlet]

Revolver psyker is okay when I fire one shot every 2 years and rely fully on brain burst

I think I will have to lean on crit blessings for this one too

[spice veldt]

tfw revolver can't stagger swinging bulwarks unless you roll a crit

[ornate hamlet]

be me
have 5 shots
shoot 5 shots
die anyway
am revolver user

Surgical builds very slowly, so I already crossed it from the list

I think I might point blank because of the whole buckleswash thing

[polar grail]

They do say 6 bullets is enough to kill shots is more then enough to kill anything that moves.

But you only had 5 so tough luck

[ornate hamlet]

Hell, 6 bullets is enough to do sustained fire twice

Which the revolver can't

Dueling sword syndrome

I rolled one with gloryhunter 4 and it might actually be interesting

The idea being a niche of pulling out the revolver to execute an elite and get a miserable amount of toughness back

Shock staff is amazing. What blessings are good for it?

[strong thicket]

God Emprah help us. This has been the standard for the past 2h. How tf do you get outcalssed in dmg by a damn surge staff

It is beyond me

[ornate hamlet]

[spice veldt]

knowing how to melee puts you in the top 10% of players already

[ornate hamlet]

Man is secretly wielding the ancient Chinese technique of crit surge

Only targeting armored opponents to gaslight the team at the end

[strong thicket]

No but for real. This was chasm station. Mid event when you do the interrogator the dogs cue played

And this dude just went and placed the interrogator

No fucks given. Was just standing there and waiting for horde and got mauled to death

[kind jay]

a true chad. he will be missed

[lilac tapir]

should gun psykers choose different perks on their Illisi?

[spice veldt]

it's primarily since you can gun down mutants

and have all the other wonders of single-target burst DPS

so you could just spec your illisi into hordeclear instead

[lilac tapir]

so unarmored + flak instead?

[strong thicket]

Sounds about right

[ornate hamlet]

Infested + flak if you want to do horde clear tbh

Groaners have little health and flak multipliers are eh

[shadow wigeon]

Flurry and Warp Nexus. Crits are quite strong with Surge staff, both the LMB and lightning tickle fingers.

[ornate hamlet]

**note to self make macro that puts in chat TICKLEFINGERS MY BELOVED whenever I use lightning **

[compact bluff]

hi im a revolver psyker addict right now
i find the best blessings to be speedload (increased reload speed on slide) and the 2nd one is more 'pick your style' but i prefer point blank (+20% crit chance after melee kill)

speedload is an interesting blessing actually because its awful for like every weapon except the revolver due to server issues until/unless they address an issue with it

[ornate hamlet]

I remember people saying it didn't work in certain instances and it makes me wonder if it was the case I experienced somewhat recently of it only working when doing sprint slides

Speedload did seem to work on my IAG with dodge slides, which was weird

[compact bluff]

when you sprint slide at 0 ammo, in the psykhanium, it works just fine. you slide right when you sprint, which procs it and gives you extra reload speed

if you do that in a match, the server will first have to validate that you've procced it, which means sprint slides only work if you reload a bit after you start sliding

[ornate hamlet]

ew

[compact bluff]

its fine on the revolver though because its a staged reload, meaning you'll get the benefit even if you sprint slide in a match

[tropic vigil]

do you guys think "escort" missions would be feasible or more importantly enjoyable or no? maybe like during the finale you rescue/extract with a npc?

[ornate hamlet]

Oh yeah, it's why tactical reload actually works well on revolver

The first bullet isn't boosted, but the rest are

[swift vault]

Revolver psyker is so sick

Like it's of course not optimal but it's fun

[lilac tapir]

The only way I see it if it was a slow moving "cart" or something like that (I think I remember something like that in V2 in the mines), not an actual NPC. Seeing how dumb the bots are, can't imagine an escort NPC with good enough AI to make it a fun mission honestly.

[tropic vigil]

yea. NPC ai is always the main issue cuz i can already see the bots doing some funky stuff

[smoky wigeon]

what should I go for on my Curios? Is +Toughness worth it?

[swift vault]

Toughness is nice but personally I roll with one of each type (difficulty 4 isn't that rough)

+3 stamina can be surprisingly handy

[strong thicket]

Don't shy away from wounds

[swift vault]

Make sure to get at least one curio with wounds, it really matters

[strong thicket]

You have so little hp and toughness that an extra wound won't change much on your stats

[spice veldt]

if you run Trauma, you can go without stamina or kinetic deflection

[white sky]

Imo you always run 1 extra wound

Sometimes it's out of your control if you're going down

[swift vault]

And despite the fast respawn you get, sometimes the gang really does need a fourth

[strong thicket]

Tbf personally if I go down team goes down as well so I just run 3 health

Cause I run an illisi with deflector

So I'm extra safe it was not a skill brag

[swift vault]

I get up close and personal, run high peril, and I obsess over styling so... I tend to go down

[spice veldt]

I personally stack toughness, but I also have a bunch of hours to get accustomed with the game's melee and movement system to not get ganked too hard

[swift vault]

I don't worry much about toughness because I tend to either slip into cover, recover toughness with a feat, or am too close for the ai to shoot me

[spice veldt]

prob a safe option to go for hp when you're more likely to get sniped and take relative toughness damage (fire, bursters)

I like toughness since it boosts the flat amount I regen from melee kills

[strong thicket]

So what these comments mean: "try things out, depending on how confident you are in surviving go for one of these options"

[olive ember]

Take hp when you don't have a skill issue and can actually avoid getting shot via proper slide timing

take toughness if you have a skill issue

[spice veldt]

and I usually just die whenever my health gets peeled and I get stunned

[olive ember]

^^ see that? skill issue

imagine actually losing all your toughness

[spice veldt]

For the immersive plasma gun experience

[spice veldt]

here are the deets #zealot-class message

[olive ember]

It really does look like hes playing some alpha test of the game

the fucking textures

[ornate hamlet]

-1 = Runescape
0 = high
1 = medium
2 = low

You can also go lower on the textures, like 3 and 4, and it'll get progressively blockier

[smoky wigeon]

I keep dying

[strong thicket]

Can't wait to play darktide like it's intended since this is pretty much an early access alpha

[smoky wigeon]

how do i not die as psyker

[polar grail]

Dodge

kill

cover

[smoky wigeon]

Ive been dodging

I keep dying a lot

Ugh

im lvl 30

on heresy

[polar grail]

dodge better ig, the force sword has so many

[olive ember]

hard to explain tbh

its been so long that We've regressed our explanations to "don't have a skill issue"

[polar grail]

When im in melee I try to pay attention to everything in front of me

[strong thicket]

Sacrifice your teammates

[polar grail]

Watching to see if an enemy is about to strike

[tropic vigil]

basically anytime you swing you should be dodging

[polar grail]

once I see one in the attack anination the choices are dodge, block, push, or hit it if my weapon has the stagger for it

[strong thicket]

Show us feats as well. It's all a combination of what tools you have and how you use them

[tropic vigil]

just dodge

[strong thicket]

And dodge harder

[tropic vigil]

though if its a really scary horde shoving saves lives too

[polar grail]

if I think my weapons attack will reach I hit, if theres too many enemys to hit who are about to hit me I dodge or push cycling inbetween them to give my dodge cooldown more time

but force swords dont care about that much so dw on that end

[strong thicket]

Push attacks. Heavy light combos. There's a lot of things that contribute to ... living

[polar grail]

there is sliding too if you wan a make more room, like not only do you think youll be hit without the dodge, but maybe you see another goon doing a running attack that will catch you

so slide and hold block, or slide and hit the guy running attacking

or you could have never dodged in the first place and just pushed

thats for dealing with hordes at least

[smoky wigeon]

okay

[polar grail]

Do you have trouble with any other enemies?

[smoky wigeon]

I p much went all top row. Idk if thats bad or good.

My staff is really bad. But idk

[polar grail]

I dont know enough about builds for psyker to help on that end

Im only level 15 now

I heard the illisi force sword is straigh garbage tho

if you want that type of ability you go demios

[smoky wigeon]

Oh.....

Really? why is it bad?

[polar grail]

or if you want better horde clear im pretty sure the other other force sword is like a powersword so thats real good

[strong thicket]

Woah woah

[smoky wigeon]

can anyone gimme tips for the above build?

[polar grail]

Dont know, just asked if its special is worth using and was told the whole thing never is by big psyker

[strong thicket]

Illisi is straight up the power sword of psyker

[polar grail]

demios does feel really good conpared to it too

[strong thicket]

Great cleave great blessing

[smoky wigeon]

Hmmmm

[polar grail]

Isint illis the first force sword you get?

[tropic vigil]

illisis the best weapon in the game

[smoky wigeon]

So should I get Deimos over this Illisi?

[tropic vigil]

by far

[polar grail]

or is that different marks?

[strong thicket]

Deimos is single target, illisi CAN be single target just less effective and can deal with hordes

[tropic vigil]

obscurus or whatever is the shitty one

[strong thicket]

Obscurus ...

[polar grail]

yeah so im just messing up the names oops

[strong thicket]

Regarding builds well do 3/2/1/1/1/2. This will help with keeping high your stacks and give you warp resistance to deal with not exploding

[smoky wigeon]

Is 3 the bottom feat?

[strong thicket]

Yes

From top to bottom 1 2 3

From left to right they're are lvl 5 10 15 20 25 30

[smoky wigeon]

Okay why 2 over 1 in the last feat?

on the 30 feat

Well, actually, Quicken seems kinda...useless? Idk I just have been spamming it a bit

[strong thicket]

They both work great but 2 at lvl 30 will help much more with keeping your passive stacks up since they give you 10% chance of getting warp charges on enemies dying while being affected by soul blaze

It also helps with keeping the souoblaze stacks on the enemies while getting rid of peril

[polar grail]

stacks are annoying to maintain

[strong thicket]

Consistency

[strong thicket]

With this it'd be weird if you don't have stacks with a purgatus

And it works even with the other staves

Just not as effectively

[silent coral]

If i reroll crit for flak and riposte for uncanny strike would this be worth the melk bucks?

[smoky wigeon]

Yeah need high stacks for damage right?

[strong thicket]

Dmg and warp resistance yeah

[spice veldt]

inner tranq has a bit of anti-synergy with quietitude, though I suppose it's nice when you're starting out with psyker

[polar grail]

I just spam bb on things since im lvl 15, using trauma staff my beloved

[strong thicket]

After lvl 30 you gotta work around your F. Gives a lot of value to different playstyles

[olive ember]

what staff are you running

this is a kinda weird feat selection ngl

[polar grail]

I was gonna just take the f that gives you 2 charges instead of one so I dont have to bb as much

Then the higher peril the more damage and up to 6 warp charges to maximize damage

[spice veldt]

another option for warp charge upkeep is to take either Psychic Communion (lvl 15) or Kinetic Flayer (lvl 25)

[polar grail]

I LOVE PSYCHIC COMMUNION

[spice veldt]

I personally take Kinetic Flayer since I want to pick Aura (lvl15), and I dislike Quicken

[strong thicket]

It's very fun as well

[polar grail]

I just wanna be the most fragile but most powerful of glass cannons

I just wish brain burst wasent so useful

I feel like I need to use it too often

[tropic vigil]

exploding heads is pyskers thing

[spice veldt]

there's a lot more armoured enemies nowadays, so the use for it crops up often

[strong thicket]

BB fiest is funny, especially when flayer double brain bursts

[spice veldt]

and it's basically our only single-target ranged DPS option if you don't run a gun

[tropic vigil]

kinetic barrage is probably my favorite 30 feat

[polar grail]

I get that but I just wanna be able to use my sword, like if the sword ability did more damage vs armor then bb that would be awesome

[olive ember]

I only use communion in builds where I expend charges a lot

[spice veldt]

yeah, I wish BB was more of a utility weapon and had less damage, but it is what it is

[olive ember]

Basically any build that uses AB

[polar grail]

but the bb is just so good but at the same time boring as hell

[spice veldt]

at least our melee scene is insanely busted at the moment

[polar grail]

I boy here I go holding down m1 again

[olive ember]

Slaughterer nerf incoming

[strong thicket]

I use communion on my blaze build for the surge

[olive ember]

Hope you have a rashad rdy

[strong thicket]

Very fun

[spice veldt]

what makes you think that they also won't touch brutal momentum

[teal cloud]

6

[lunar hollow]

what makes you think we're getting anything more than another fucking rev it up buff

we have no idea what theyre doing and u cant assume anything cuz its fuckin fatshark

[harsh urchin]

they also have no idea what they're doing

[polar grail]

I LOVE REVVING YEAAHHH

[spice veldt]

I'M GONNA REV ALL OVER THE HERETICS

[lunar hollow]

he revs until the heretics burst

@spice veldt have u finished the essay

[spice veldt]

yes

[lunar hollow]

good job

[spice veldt]

😊

[lunar hollow]

now u just gotta become capable of lifting more than 4 pounds

[spice veldt]

i already can >:(

[lunar hollow]

we both know thats a goddamn lie

[spice veldt]

i speak the truth and only the truth

[lunar hollow]

nuh uh you said i partake in delusional ramblings

which is false

smh

[spice veldt]

u didn't even deny that at first

but NOW you're going to deny that you don't delusionally ramble

where redverse has to step in and rein you in

[lunar hollow]

that has never once occurred

[smoky wigeon]

@olive ember I posted the staff. I didnt think the feat selection was that weird. I figured...it was all about keeping MAD stacks on

For more damage

and continous toughness regen

but idk

[lunar hollow]

look i had just woken up from a really shitty nap and didnt have the brainpower to argue ok

gotta choose ur battles

[spice veldt]

essence harvest and quicken are prob the only top feats that you'd really have to justify

[granite plaza]

do any other gun perks work with ascendant blaze the way pinning fire does? like no respite on brauto/vraks?

[smoky wigeon]

Quicken sucks. I cant really justify it

[spice veldt]

basically, the perks and active blessings on your currently equipped weapon will also scale the damage of any DoTs that you started

i'm not sure how it interacts with No Respite since i don't know how that particular blessing works

[fluid knot]

Both the capstones that arent Kinetic Barrage suck compared tbh

Its so far ahead of the other two its not even funny

[spice veldt]

you usually want to dodge sideways;
Against melee attacks, dodging can do two things: break their tracking, and shorten the reach of their attack. Running attacks can have their tracking broken, but they'll still run in the direction that they were intially at and smack you if you just dodge backwards. If you dodge sideways, you won't have that problem https://streamable.com/dfg8rx

against ranged attacks, dodging gives you straight up i-frames https://streamable.com/2lt083

though you usually want to dodge-slide if only ranged enemies are attacking you https://streamable.com/o4uty5

(try not to dodge-slide if there are melee enemies around because sliding doesn't make you dodge melee attacks and you'll just get smacked in the bum)

[lunar hollow]

@spice veldt did u have to make ur sword ultrathin to be able to carry it too

[spice veldt]

it's called optimization

[strong thicket]

Puny arms

That's what it's called

[fringe meadow]

new favorite psyker voice line

[ornate hamlet]

big f

The only guy who joined was okay until he randomly decided to rush and suck really badly at it

Twice

Then leave

Twice

[strong thicket]

Look at all that top score numbers

Best offense best defense

[ornate hamlet]

It was like that with the scoreboard showing the rest of the team in the match

The attacks blocked were hardcore carrying those revives on bots

[strong thicket]

91 attacks lmao

[ornate hamlet]

I would call it a wasted game if not for the fact it showed to myself just how good I am

[strong thicket]

Play the true solo mod

[ornate hamlet]

I almost feel like I did with this

[strong thicket]

Close enough

[ornate hamlet]

A dueling sword and this piece of shit, too

I had pretty much the worst possible setup and made the best of it

Okay, I could be using revolver

I had pretty much the second worst possible setup and made the best of it

I stress, this thing can't even kill a mauler with a full mag on the body

is autopistol psyker still a thing?

Yep

[strong thicket]

Why would you do that to yourself

[fallow falcon]

I need a cowboy hat and a revolver

[strong thicket]

Missed opportunity for a Tallarn psyker

Fatshark why

[swift vault]

Is warp flurry, which reduces charge time on chained charged attacks on my mkIV voidstrike staff, lenient with its window for chained attacks? Can I fully charge each shot to make the most of the implied effect or do I need to kinda spam them?

[ornate hamlet]

I need me a fuckin' eyepatch

[ornate hamlet]

Warp flurry considers an attack to be happening whenever there's a charge going on (along the normal attacks), which makes it so that the only times you can drop it are by doing another action or by waiting too long between attacks

[lunar hollow]

the clown pants

whyyyyyy

[strong thicket]

Spam the first 5 with r / right click then you get the full extent of better charge OR get quelling on weakspot and just hold your right click

[ornate hamlet]

IT'S PRIVATEER PANTS

[spice veldt]

you'll chain it as long as you're holding RMB down; you can just do small charges to stack it

[lunar hollow]

CLOWN PANTS

ITS CLOWN COLORS

[spice veldt]

I don't think warp flurry drops if you hold it for too long, at least on voidstrike at least

I waited a good tens of seconds once and it didn't drop

[swift vault]

tyty

[lunar hollow]

i actually really like the set the clown pants come in

just not the clown pants

they dont work with the top/headgear

[ornate hamlet]

Such is life with psyker cosmetics

The pants are mostly kinda mid

Admittedly I felt a bit bad about the purchase when I remembered these existed

But I am a pirate now

And I'll loot and pillage everything the dregs don't nail down

[strong thicket]

What about the pegleg

Clown pants or pegleg pants. Which make for a better pirate ?

[light quail]

holy shit
good psyker stuff in shop for once?

[lunar hollow]

@spice veldt new cosmetic store staff is also intended for trauma
