another trauma W
so is the Deimos just BETTER than Illisi?
not really they have their strengths and weaknesses
Will the illisi pair well with the purgatory staff?
illis is for melee horde clear, deimos is for single target dps and oh shit moment horde clear
either combo works, just depends on your play style and what you want to do with the weapon
personally id do deimos w/purg so i have horde clear and oh shit moment kill big shit and mutantas
horde clear w/staff
Dripped out of my damned mind
And tbh my illisi can do pretty well against Muties, it doesn’t 1shot but it can do 3k damage on charged hits
am i supposed to block the chaos spawn?
dodging doesnt seem to work like it does on the other 2 moonstrosities
the dodge timing is a bit strict esp since it likes to rapidfire its swings
yeah blocking is pretty integral to fighitng it
the first hit of his 4-hit combos are pretty much undodgeable
unless you distance him extremely hard
If you feel like you struggle against em, a stamina curio can help
if only we could paint our curios
here's a video of tinyangrycrab 1v1ing the chaos spawn as a rashad vet #zealot-class message
there's a mod to name them at the very least
oh ur using the mod already
shadow wizard money gang
hell yeah
interesting
the words just kinda popped in my brain and i dm'd a friend it and he tried to call me
idk for what
(i didn't answer)
Your beloved told you to say that sibling

upgrade nexus when I find tier 4 or replace barrage with flurry?
I applaud you on making the striped pants work. I dig.
Its legal to use the void staff cancel animation?
Do what you like, but its less effective than playing it how you're meant to
Does more dmg on charged u mean?
charging increases both damage and cleave
What's a good perk to swap out for on this Surge?
Ye what Arco' said
I'd probably keep the 20% carapace, although that's a weirdly close decision. I like +maniac on surge, to speed up kills on dreg ragers.
What about the blessings?
For the most easy to use setup, Warp Flurry and Peril Transfer
Warp Flurry / Transfer Peril. Everything else is... not great.
I prefer Surge/Warp Nexus, but its more because i like the odd increased DPS (Dmg per shot, not per second), but its not by any means consistent
What is the dps difference I wonder. Not in the mood to calculate tho.
Not massive, it probably procs on less than 20% of total shots over the course of a game, its an increase, but a very meagre one
But that being said, its also even more dependent on positioning, which is already the shtick with the Void
If you've got a good spot, you'll kill off most of the horde before Transfer starts to overtake it in sustained DPS
Yeah, I wonder if it's even that much. The crit bonus on WS is not very big, so it's not adding as much if you're already aiming for heads.
And when the 2x shot misses because there are not targets up... sadness.
Well.. given the two balls tend to overlap it'll sometimes feel like its doubling the cleave limit as it generally only takes one hitbox touching a trash mob in the dome to kill it, but yeah, its not up a whole lot an the crit bonus is only 30% iirc on Void
But it does work on both alt and primary fire
Yeah, I meant when horde clearing there often aren't 2 charged shots worth of targets, and teh second one just flies off into nothing. Against bigger targets it's not going to get wasted, though.
Crit is ~30% dmg vs body shots, but the bonus dmg on weakspots is only around 15%.
So if you're already aiming for headshots, the damage bonus is small.
That's why I wonder what the effective dps really is.
Ahh gotcha, wasnt sure on bonus weakspot, but ye if there is only a couple of dudes left, might aswell push up an clear em up with Illisi/Deimos tbf
I just played a pretty laid back reg damn, and have 18% ranged weakspot hit. So maybe the body shots will count more than I thought.
Or I shoud learn to shoot better.
Aiming at the heads cuts TTK down enough to be worth doing for sure
Yeah I suspect I won't get that much higher than 25% though, since that was a pretty normal game I just played.
So, in theory the crit bonus will be 30% more often, at least.
That sustain and attack speed tho....
see, he wears the clown pants too
it's stylish with that
You wanna see a funni? 
Well, there is an alternate void build which is Surge + Nexus
I would not pay milkbucks for that, if that is the choice.
I was gonna ask if that was your finest brick 😅
Does anyone ever check the lfg channel 😄
Been trying to get a private group for the Malleus Monstronum penance forever
Noone ever joins 😦
If lookin for a premade i just join a random strike team, think most do
i could try that. might be a tall order to do one of the most tedious penances with a rando joiner out of nowhere tho?
Dunno, so long as you're a competant player an can duo a heresy game at least, i'll help you get it in a half hour or so after i eat some food an get some coffee
If there's a map where a monstrosity usually comes early it could work. Fairly new psyker player but ive hardcore mained it for 40 hours last 2 weeks and have pretty good gear
Just moved to T5
@hasty valve get someone to be ogryn and bring shield, kill demonhost.
Its hit an miss mate as im sure you already know
I can make everything work sibling (except those green/brown camo pants) 
Challenge accepted

I tried stuff with the new desert camo bandana and it sorta work
On Vet ye?
Nah, psyker
gettin pics in 1 sec
@meager plinth you mean these pants aye?
nope, from the premium shop
I saw someone with the headpiece from that set on the white/green armor, was pretty dope
but yeah I know the pants you mean, not easy to match
last game before i can retire
Would appaear they have been cycled out
Ey fuckin good job pal
these
They're too distinct
excelent work sibling!
festive
this is the closest I got to a set for it, but I dont have that shirt myself cuz I got the red prisoner one
Bloodthirsty slaughterer for an illisi sounds good?
Thanks for coming in for the heavy lifting there hah
Greatjob?
Yeah heh
ayy, good run tho sibling
I had to solo for awhile before you replaced a rage quitter
It was a rocky start..
(I died because my ability didnt hit the already loaded scab gunner 2m away from me, got turned into paste since I was half health)
Yeah no worries. They were quite novice players, esp for hi int.
It works, and gives you some neat breakpoints if you can keep the bloodthirsty active while having max slaughterer charges, notably giving you oneshot headshot on both ragers if you have flak and maniacs, and 2 shot bodyshot maulers and bulwarks. Its not what i would consider BiS myself (i stan for unstable power for +20% extra power with slaughterer), but you can make it work
You also get rager bodyshots if you are running WU and have warp charges
drip complete
thank you sibling
Yeah it was just a long match, i should have explained more clearly to the newbie. I had been carrying and soloing for awhile, kept aksing them to stop yoloing and dying. I don't blame the new player at all though, it just happened after a long stretch of trying to herd them as a team.
counter point, running at enemies is fun 
iag?
lmao
no
deleting darktide
I'll let that one last heretic live somewhere
be free
millionth heretic
Sadly repair is only at 130. I can't bring myself to grind that one mission.
I did grind Dreyko for the frame though, on account of it being dope.
And Relay Station was bugged for a long time so I skipped it.... Disruption is also lacking.
But those frames aren't thrilling so im no in a rush
So, uh, how should I feel about this trauma staff?
It’s quite good. +unyielding isn’t hugely useful, but you will be going after bulwarks frequently. Replace transfer peril with Rending or Focused, and swap +ranged weak spot to an enemy of your choice. Unarmored, flak or infested for clearing hordes are all popular. You’ll have an A-tier Trauma staff.
I have 1 other staff I can put t3 warp flurry on, if I were to upgrade it to orange
Lemme log in and I'll post it
Also: Is this sort of the build I want to use when using the trauma staff?
I really like psykinetic's aura, tho, so I might take that... especially since it affects allies cds as well
That one is a pile of garbage
went broke trying to find Focused Channeling 😔
at least u still got diamantine right? 😛
(Drops Melta Bomb)


😔
Trauma Staff Stat Priority
Charge Rate > Blast Radius > Quell Speed > Warp Resistance > Damage
You use the Melee version where Trauma is secondary
I use the build where I use my Trauma as my Primary
Killing Crushers and horde control
I use it as my main weapon
nice
The blessings you have on it makes it a support staff
Because the Rending Shockwave only affects your melee weapon and other peoples damage
pretty much how I use it xd
It makes stupid vets who are shooting the crusher with their recon actually suddenly effective


Mal
You want some sad news
The 25% carapace allows you to kill the crusher in 6 fully charged attacks instead of 7
Congratulations
how fucked am I
Only if you hit a barrel with 5 stacks of uncanny strike >.>'
Dude I love blowing up Maulers
Then just spam Mauler's heads with the Deimos 
Rending affects how much damage barrels do to teammates
captain dont defend deimos with uncanny i dont know his name rn but someones gonna come and bash u with the maths

how it does like 16.7% less than if you had the other thing with the damage on peril
I enjoy 2 shotting Crushers
dude I met the guy
i do aswell and im also using a slaughter uncanny
I mean I use slaughterer and um
proceeds to drop me all the FACTS
but just cause i dont have anything better
the one that lets you block ranged
Malice Player Detected
Deflector is outstanding.
I thought it's whack
Deflector is sub-par in a lot of cases, but, it's more of a quality of life thing
On my Deimos it was deflector or something else which was bad
so I stuck with deflector
What about this
I feel I'll get too comfortable if I use Deflector 
Craft a new one
On my illisi? Meh, I just don't feel like changing it since I don't use it with a staff
I'm more invested in learning the purgatus and trauma staffs
Deflector is not for comfort, it is for aggression.
And you can play any weapon
Its not about learning a weapon
That only goes for 2 weapons
Thammer and Chaxe
I was not a conflag staff sienna, in vt2
so the trauma staff doesn't come naturally to me
Catch me in the back lines while I bait my teammates 
You still have to become comfortable using it
Also: Mostly a zealot gamer, which is why I haven't spent more time learning the staff
I got 2 zealots, my main is 468 my second one is 47 my Psyker is 426
Staves aren't hard
just git gud
Maybe not, but, as far the Trauma staff goes I need to learn more where to use it and when to use it
Up those hours my guy
Anywhere
Use it ANYWHERE
Trauma's the best
The trauma staff is the most versatile staff
I will after work, but, u rite...
Trauma is tricky to get effective at. You need to learn how to leverage the CC so you're not just scattering mobs randomly. And how much charge you need to kill certain targets so you're not maxing peril to no effect. It's very strong.
lemme catch up to that
This
Anyway: Off to work I go
o7
Man
yo
"This staff is too hard to use, I need to learn X,y,z,Pi to use it"
No
No you don't
Hold Right Click
Press Left Click
"I play Psyker because I dont want to aim"
Same as any staff
brother
My first character was the Psyker because I was like "Man, if this is anything like Sienna I'm gonna have a blast"
Gets into the game
As if you aren't aiming on any character
Its nothing like Sienna
Yeah well. Have you tried tracking a Dreg Bruisers head while it's about to hit you?
Or that time I quickscoped a Pox Hound as it was about to pounce 
Or that time I pounded a Crusher so hard he fell off the map?
Nice
Always love to do shit like that when they're near a ledge
Deflector bad, unstable +slaugherer all the way
ayy
Hey do what makes you happy.
the only time I wish I had deflector is when I turn a corner and face like, 17 shooters
and they obliterate me in 1 second
Trauma staff goes Boom Boom
That is why deflector is great. You can play very aggressively as psyker. Walking down shotgunners, soaking shots when there’s a wall of gunners, tanking boss shots, or just turning bullets into toughness whenever you want to.
Or just have a Trauma staff and kill them the second you turn the corner
You can mostly do that anyway between smart cover usage, infinite FS dodges an slides
Also to really leverage deflector you're giving up good feats
you don't really need to dedicate much to make use of deflector
Arc
since you can combine deflector with the aforementioned dodges and slides
What second blessing should I aim on Voidstrike Staff? Quelling on headshot one is mandatory but I can't decide if having the minus charge time/stack or double bowling balls is better.
Yea Why did you stop?
Well doing it without peril block is fine, but you're then risking your stam getting zeroed and then staggered which immediately kills any aggression you might have
because I prioritized DPS over safety
double balls pretty much requires you to take Warp Nexus as the other blessing
so if pairing with Transfer Peril, you'll usually want Warp Flurry
That's true, I guess I'll make two staffs
god i love infinite dodges
i just pulled a 30 dmg taken in hi hint power supply
probably because there was a surge and a purgatus but hey
now... how can i play my zealot and my vet without dodges 
why would you ever play classes with such WEAK legs
be a man and take the hits
dont be one and never get hit once
Personally I stand there and take it with my near infinite block peril knife for lols
Before I gouge their eyes out and and use them as sacrifices to Tzeetch My Beloved
Best feat combo for a Trauma staff?
if you're running warp flurry, then inner tranq for spamming the trauma staff
i think some people run a communion + quicken build if you run warp flurry as another way of spamming it
you could also just build around your melee, since trauma is good enough to work without building your feats around it
Sad if true, I only recently started using it and got the feel for it
i doubt they'll rework it completely
im sure if it is changed, it will still be fairly strong
like the flamer
it's still very powerful, despite the nerf
Power sword is still good despite the 'nerf' it got
I did feel like a machine with the illisi
Honestly it took me just a second to adjust my combo timing on the power sword after the nerf, I barely noticed it other than observing the anim being slower
Yeah it's great too because the shove is good on force swords, like honestly the reason I use force swords is because of that
I only switched to the illisi because the pearl grips are sexy
Ah, well if I feel inclined to switch that's good
god bless psyker's ult for saving me from dogs
had a game where a dog spawned close to me and basically went straight for my ass the moment the spawn sound cue played
and the assassination finale where I had to ult to save myself from a dog that came right out from a door
they might nerf illisi's damage/cleave, but if they keep the stagger, it'll still feel quite good
something that you can just spam into melee elites
Do you guys use essence harvest or quietitude with kinetic flayer?
aw yeah, just dropped in to an all psyker lobby
I'm sure they will do a half-assed nerf that will undoubtedly affect the power sword for unknown reasons and put it 6ft under
I run quietitude with kinetic flayer since that's still only one essence harvest per (ideally) 15 seconds. This is with trauma so I'm almost always going to pick quietitude anyways because of trauma's peril generation; may be different for other staffs

well we got wrecked, hi shock troops with a shit ton of bursters
i was last up and a mutant threw me into a sniper shot, got hit mid air, lol
Can't be mad at that, that's amazing
lil late but i need to pump my numbers up too
I admit I'm starting to warm up to aura and flayer as opposed to communion and battery
I do miss the brain burst breakpoints though, but it ironically feels easier to maintain charges and I think it might be because I use fast weapons and can ult more often without worry
i endorse this
I feel endorsed
you bastard
my b i was fighting for my life in a shock mission
💀
not that one
i bet it was
also, eviscerator moment
10k boss damage tho
seer moment
oh right the beast of nurgle
one or both of the bolter zealots were using it on hordes
as god intended
bolter + bolter + autopistol magdump-into-horde-without-a-vet moment
a vet wont save any of those weapons from stupid ammo usage
keep using psykinetic's aura and you'll soon get moments like this https://streamable.com/58exbr
What is this potato computer D:
ur a potato
Surge feels kinda random

Groaners to maniac and terrifying barrage to warp nexus. It's op dude.
Hey.. Going out with a bang achievement. They changed it to kill 1 instead of 3 .. LoL!? So thats easy now ? xD
yeah u better be scared das right
tHiS oNe'S fOr CaDiA
could NOT be more perfect
im amazed your team didnt ssteal the kill
the bots*
I had to run it twice, they ganked it the first time, and I was being ultra careful not to kill a pinky. I would have done it with my group tonight but actually wanted to get a game in before then.
Sprinting a T1 only takes 7 minutes fortunately
okaay that makes sense
well awesome clip man
good for you
and god save your patience i cant imagine it was fun to watch that kill bar crawwl up so slowly
When I hit 500K I thought meh I'll never get to a million, I slowed down how much I played a lot. But then decided to go for 1K kill games as much as possible. Lots of Purgatus and BB MK3 murder fests, actually got there decently quick.
oh wow nice
yeah im uh... nowhere near close
i think im at like... 80k? maybe 90?
just a lil baby
got like 280 hours tho i love this game
im just not good at it
Can confirm there are at least a million heretics waiting to be purged
you got any more goals or are you gonna retire for a while?
kinda liking this drip
Retire now honestly heh. Still play nightly games with a group but it's time to take the foot off the gas. Darktide landed at a great time in a long winter
well damn you will be very much missed, reject
have a good break
hit me up if you ever wanna play a game together 🤙
well, unless you're in like asia or europe or something lol
the staff is goated i wish i had MONEY
yeah it do be drippin
okay, so +damage modifiers on purgatus affect burn or just the initial tick?
I never really used one, but I got one with decent damage rolls. Want to try it
Both. +unyielding is good for bosses for that reason.
wonder if I can make anything good out of this
gonna do now as a sample, I'll play with one for a bit. See if I even like it. So far I've been defaulting to voidstrike, sometimes trauma
Something to consider, depending on what blessings you have:
Before you roll that to orange, if you have terrifying barrage already, re-bless barrage on top of warp flurry.
Thus, if you roll a T4 blessing, it will be either Nexus or Flurry guaranteed (as there are only 3 T4 blessings for Purg).
Obviously you may end up rolling something else, but your odds of hitting something you want go up if Barrage is on there before you upgrade it.
I...uh, didn't dive that deep into that system yet. I barely have any blessings unlocked, and those are mostly on vet. It will take a while to find the good stuff to deconstruct
for now I can only shuffle perks, and hope I get something half useful in blessings
imma just play few games with this on heresy, just to test the waters
Do you want the good news or the bad news first
The bad news is there is no good news
Yeah, Exorcist has some niche value, kinda
Just leave it in the back of your mind: before you upgrade to orange, if you can: replace Flurry with Barrage.
I used to use it as a way to braindead sweep hordes
bricked
there is some synergy with the weak point hits perk
you want maniac (priority) and flak on force sword
+10% ordo dockets on all your curios is the secret goat perk
and slaughterer (priority) and unstablepower/deflector
i actually have that on lmfao
my man
any illisi is a good illisi by nature of simply BEING an illisi
New cosmetics are out?
yeah
ye
they're okay
fair point
Well, you know what time it is
i just want a deimos and an illisi that have slaughterer as their locked perks
but i havent gotten lucky
riposte bad
yeah
yea good choice
the riposte for slaughterer
very workable sword
i should be able to put +ordo dockets on my melee weapons tbh
S tier right there (w/ maniac and slughter ofc)
slughter
Any tier slaughterer will do while you get others
T1 Slaughterer = Slughter
lmfao
what do you think of this
its been my main weapon since i hit 30
which was 31 levels ago
ik it could def be better but its been working pretty well
Force Sword + Slaughter is already 90% of it. If Shred goes on anything you could put it on Illisi.
fair
i wanna try out uncanny strike on a deimos
cuz the special attack builds 4 stacks of it with each tick of damage
so it melts crushers
Yall think a blazing spirit/shred would work on a fire build, or would it just be a meme
is burning from purgatus staff counts as soulblaze?
It does apply a fair amount of soulblaze. The problem is that soulblaze + slaughter is just too strong, so shred/blaze ends up being not very exciting.
Yeah it counts as sb
Also, I should caveat that I do that with Wildfire
Yeah thats what im going for, levelling another psyker and want to try and go for wildfire style build from the start
I was just hoping the shred crit would synergise with blazing for the big wildfire stacks
Wildfire + power is very strong, but your sword is there to boost flames, not apply them.
Wildfire is capped at 4 stacks
Which is why the +power is what makes it strong. Without +power, 4 stacks is really tiny damage.
Yeah, i was just thinking the tier 4 can go up to 12 on one targey
So you could just spread 4 stacks constantly
It does work, kinda. I actually just came out of a meme fire build game.
I just dont want to go back to kf autopistol
the 12 stacks doesn't really matter, as you wont get to 12 stacks anyway (they'll be dead before it applies, generally)
It's just getting 4 stacks on quickly and buffing that with +power
this is dank meme territory
You want to apply your SB stacks with something else (purg or fire trauma), and then when you switch to sword to buff wit +power, you're also adding to the stacks out there. It is a meme, though, but ive taken it on hi intensity pretty happily.
Ahh so slaughter will apply to sb stacks retroactively
Yeah, it's "live" as it were. Also, kills from SB will apply Slaughter stacks (if you have the sword out)
so it's self-propagating.
But
Once you have 5 slaughter stacks and you start one shotting junk hordes, you will not apply SB to them (on hit, but not on kill), so it all gets a bit weird.
Still works vs flak/unarmored hordes. And it's fun, which is really the main point.
Yeah ive seen the weirdness with that cause it just kills your build randomly
I'm running it with
Ahh so not even running purg with it
And mainly because the trauma is sufficiently janky at apply SB, it makes sense to switch to sword early. If you do it with Purg.... there's a lot less reason to switch off purg.
With Purg I just run slaughter/deflector, because adding more fire via sword is kinda pointless.
It is a meme, I can't recommend spending precious resources on, but for lols its fun.
Yeah the problem is - what are you attacking with deimos that the fire is really going to matter?
You can definitely do it for fun, but it's sort of trapped in this zone of not really being productive.
Yeah i guess
Illisi fire sword at least makes it easy to spread a lot o stacks around
I just like the idea of constantly throwing out 4 stacks but the game doesnt really support it at mentioned with it not applying
The fact that +power is such a huge buff to SB makes it difficult to justify non-slaughter fire swords
Yeah its kinda sad the state blessings are in
what does warp nexus do exactly. Feels like description missing a word
it adds % of...something?
Im assuming damage?
Crit chance
Its crit chance, scaling with peril
It adds "based" so we get more rizz power
I don't know what that means
At every 20% peril, you will get +5% crit chance. So at 80% peril or above, you gain + 20% crit chance
no, I meant the other message. Thanks for the breakdown
Just based
What is the rationale using guns on psyker
You're just a worse vet at that point
What's the synergy
Not much, just a higher base damage when stacking warp charges combined with the ability to have 3 weapons to complement each other instead of the usual 2, along with having the ult's CC and other synergies like kinetic flayer with shredder, not to mention psyker's aura being increased elite damage
Simple stuff like that
The day a vet is able to use brain burst along with a gun I'll accept psyker as just a worse vet
I stop playing vet that day and only go pysker
Until the day they aren't able to carry a gun and execute a target across the map behind a wall, I'll be glad
I hate brainburst
It never gets old to bring "worse vet" to a match and be better than the vet because of sheer versatility
Sure, I don't have the funny 50% damage button and near-immortality on toughness, but those are the little crutches we kinda learn to play without and get better at the game
Gun psyker being a bad vet to me is a similar argument to zealots without HR being bad because they aren't immortal on melee
Every gun psyker or gun focused zealot ive met eat every single ammo box they can find
Then they actually start using TWBS and go "yo, I didn't notice how much I was being staggered out of melee"
And basic defensive combat gets re-inserted into their brain by pure magic
I mean, that's fine if team comp is somewhat balanced. A good vet will barely need any ammo from pickups, if any at all
ngl I think starting with psyker helped me with not using unwavering focus and holy revenant
Now I see pubs with power swords, combat axes and the like getting beaten by a dueling sword that can't cleave 3 enemies because the guy using the dueling sword had to get used to not mashing the button and expecting the match to play itself
When im dealing with all the shooters and even in that regard still pulling up melee if I can get in before toughness breaks I'll still run out
I do admit there are some people who think having a gun means just dumping it everywhere and it doesn't help that many understand "gun psyker" as a shredder build
Idk what gun everyones talking about with that argument or if its just for lower difficultys but I cant agree
Each time someone notices I'm playing gun psyker and asks me what shredder I'm using I roll my eyes a bit
Thats every gun psyker or gun zealot ive met, love to see a real gun psyker sometime
I guess it depends on a weapon. On my vet I have to be conscious about ammo on my recon, but on MkXII infantry ammo is virtually infinite. Granted you hit things with it, and don't spray into nowhere
I have a uhhhh dangerous thing for clicking heads
It comes to a point where I actually consider the 7a recon a non-ammo-inefficient weapon because on average it takes me 3 to 4 shots for shooters
Because I... aim.
Kant and I dont miss often, did the 100% accuracy penance like multiple times because one or two hits would not reg so it got me pretty good I feel
clicking heads of course
Speaking of MG12
Turns out efficiency is "bugged"
Wait nvm, I just loaded in the psykhanium
I thought it used 4 units per shot
Wait no
+33% reduced ammo use
That means 2/3 on a shot
Yeah it's bugged 
As a matter of fact, so is the "not shooting" part
except when i'm with very very good players i usually have the least dmg taken, records are 30 in hi int and around 200 in sg so... not feeling the need of unwavering
tbh, i prefer using the shredder on the psyker
there's always a chance that whoever coded the thing, and wrote the description where two people that didn't communicate between each other 
Based
long range is bb, mid range is shredder, close range is illisi
Sounds like Fatshark translation stuff, like when they "redacted" penances and didn't actually redact them
- ab for aoe
That's basically my thought process for psyker guns
i only use the vet with bolter now
Sometimes I do try to flex on a sniper and it usually works, but sometimes I eat a round and he tells me "brain burst me you fucking moron"
and tbh, my zealot too
lol i usually take 3rd or fourth place... and i'm not the only one
i let bolters and orgryns feed first tbh
if you want to gunker you really want to use your full kit, all 3 other classes will make better use of the ammo for general purpose use
wrack n ruin works pretty well with gunker, lets you deal with elite groups pretty cheaply
didn't try the feat yet
a good mk3 headhunter, shredder, mg12 lasgun, etc etc can do wonders
wrack n ruin is very good with the faster BB, apply 12-16 stacks pretty fast which can delete most things
if you have kinetic flayer you can even get a double set of stacks
nice
the heavy laspistol can be pretty good too with its unique warp special
yea the push
This is exactly why i stay away from the "meta" choices
How to quickly stunt your mechanical capability 101
Im switching off my Illisi so I can actually play the game to the full extend
what kinda guns do you use on gun psyker? and what blessings/ talents you take?
Almost everything tbh
Though what I do enjoy when it comes to guns is penetration
I started liking the MG12 and then realized how limited it is when I was using revolver's massive cleave to hunt targets in the middle of crowds
Revolver ideally gets flak and maniac, shredder flak and maniac too I think, actually so does recon and laspistol gets stuff for headshot breakpoints
hey Sterling, what would you do for this one?
I would swap hand-cannon for speedloader and use sustained fire to lean on the raw damage instead of the crits, since the best use for HC is carapace and as a psyker you can just brain burst crushers
It's worth checking bodyshots on shooters and maybe bruisers to see if you need to put flak in there, or if you can swap one of those for maniac to maybe get some more damaging shots on dreg ragers and flamers
until the kantrael shotgun came out, revolver was my favourite zealot weapon for this reason.
Middle of a fight, you realize there's a target of opportunity, just blast him through the crowd. Great feeling.
That's one of the genuinely great parts about it
A shame the weapon is shat on by its low ammo count, tiny-ass drum and long reload
Its balanced almost entirely around an aggressive melee orientated playstyle, so much so that it gets hurt by those features
hopefully when we get the 2 other stub revolver patterns it will feel nicer
Unless they have a speedloader, its still gonna be much the same situation i fear
if it takes 1 shot to kill like, ragers, it would be different
Yeah, though sadly that would be pure powercreep :/
obscurus moment
Yeah..
its the fate of most medium pattern rn
they try to be a middle ground but end up sucking at both
Sadly true that yeah :/ maybe with the exception of Hellbores
we are missing the light and heavy pattern rn
the force swords and the clearest difference for the Mark Pattern disparity
you have the Illisi and deimos which are some of the best melee in the game
and the obscurus, which doesnt even have anything going on for it
that weapon is more confused about what it wants to be than your average twitter resident 
if anything, medium patterns should have a quirk to make it stand out
How do you fight a demonhost as a psycher? You are made of tissue paper so you cant take those hits
spam sideways dodges
if you just rotate around the daemonhost, you'll avoid their hits, esp with the infinite dodges of force swords
Something needs to be done.. Columbus autogun is another example of that. Low damage, massive ammo hog.. at least make it laser accurate so it has a reason to exist. Same for Obscurus an current Revvy, the latter needing a much higher weakspot multiplier an the former needing.. just something.. probably a rework
if you have kinetic deflection and +3 stamina you can tank their attacks for a good amount of time too, use your ability to reduce your peril
if anything, deimos should get a different special and obscurus' special should be more... explodey
Deimos becomes a force slash with a forward wave
Better even
The special changes it to a stab and it fires a force spear
when I wanted this on my vet instead of the psyker

dev strike bitch blessing, but at least I kinda could just use rampage instead and make use of the +5% crit vet gets
idfk
whats the max damage you get from this
It stacks 4 times, T4 goes up to 20%
Stacks come at 20/40/60/80
Does the Purgatus Force Staff's attacks count as Soulblaze for the sake of feats?
makes those feats a lot more viable and that staff less useless imho
If only wildfire didnt have a stack limit it can transfer, and wrack wouldnt be competing with more damage in general
AB is still good though
Without the stack limit it would become wildly OP, which would neccicate doing less damage over time which would make it useless against anything but a horde
I have to say Voidstrike is still my favorite, quick to charge, pierces hordes and blows up in the middle, can be used for charged long range snipes
I wouldnt really call it wildly OP if it had the stack limit removed, it could actually be worth running it in a purgatus build. Right now anything that dies will have more stacks than it can transfer, so it doesnt do anything other than when you use it to nuke ranged enemies with AB
fair enough
You can check the full guide, made by Pygex, in the pins. This is just the wildfire part
basically, wildfire is bad because it can not apply SB beyond 4 stacks instead of doing what the ingame description incorrectly states:
because of that, you can effectively only get "1 round" of targets from wildfire: stack up SB on a bunch of enemies, they die and apply max 4 stacks to new targets (they do not die from the SB, even if they die to something else, they now only spread 2 stacks which do no good dmg)
when covering all enemies within an area with SB from your staff or AB, all of the enemies alrady have 4+ stacks on them and you gain no value at all from wildfire
if wildfire could apply SB beyond 4 stacks (basically no limit), stacking up SB on a a bunch of enemies with your weapon would allow wildfire to melt through a horde like a weakening wave, which would be pretty cool and actually useful
Put slaughterer over exorcist?
or pull out exorcist
dumb q, and this may not even be something thats so specific, but any recommendations for what perks I should refine for in defensive curios? for psykers, I mean
Yes
Personal preference, people like sniper resist, gunner resist, health/toughness, toughness regen, corruption resist if you run grimoires
ah, honestly I was expecting a meta answer but thats refreshing
I'm considering leaning into gunner resistance, because I like to push in and those MG's dont make it easy
I personally have sniper resist on everything, toughness on everything, and 2 toughness regen/1 health
me too, but with 2 Toughness one wound
I have 2 HP 1 tough as main stat on the curios, the above was what i have as the perks
3x hp on all characters for me.
Psyker just got to level 30 earlier today so the gears grind will be rough. 😦
rough but incredibly fun when you get the weapons that fit your playstyle
I wanna make a dueling sword work, sad that the only one with access to a horizontal heavy attack also feels kinda jank to me
usually the mkV for its high damage heavies is the one enjoyed the most
I like force sword but t3 and 4 blessings have 11 of them.
So to get the blessings combo I want plus perks combo I want will be rough...
Unless they #breakthelocks any time soon.
Wish they'd just trim some blessings tbh
Getting a staff together is pretty easy. But are all fucking eleven blessings on the fsword really that interesting/impactful? I don't even mean meta, but are they worth a dedicated slot?
Cause those dodge ones may as well be combined.
Venting on headshots is cute in theory but in practice has no real place.
Superiority is strictly awful.
And executor has zero place in general. Repeated headshots for 25% power only? And you lose all the stacks the moment you don't land a headshot? Awful.
It would be much less frustrating to build some of these weapons if they weren't bloated for choice.
I hear people ask that they rebalance the blessings so that they're all good choices but a) there will always be a meta b) that's a lot of work and c) it still dillutes the overall pool
the comms link says "a few blessing balencing changes" so dont expect anything
inb4, nerfs for everything, so players dont feel bad about locks 
hoping they gut all the power buffs tbh
if they do that, I just hope they buff the other ones
What's the crit rate on Voidstrikes?
5% base crit
RIP thanks.
How is everyone getting those scoreboard screenshots. Is that a mod ?
ye, lemme get you the links
Thanks ! if you have recomendations im open as well 😄
I got a bunch, should I dm you some?
Siblings! Ive made a shrine to the machine god
sure, no need to spam the channel 🙂
like an automatic perk reroller
Damn, this is psyker chat
Can you mod the xbox version?
well I mean there is no Admech class yet so 😛
err, idk specifically but do you have access to the game's files?
I would love an admech class
@nova dirge ^
Sweet thx for the at
Thx
They gonna nerf Slaughterer and not touch anything else, just wait and see.
eh, dont really care about slaughterer, it makes people play sloppily tho if they dont buff other stuff things will suck a bit
hmm, psykers with no extra toughness or health straight up get one-shot from a mauler overhead from full toughness and hp
very cool
3 wound gaming
true
das a three-shot right there
did they even mention the melee spillover addition to the mauler/crusher overheads in the patch notes
that's always been a thing so far as i recall
might be misremembering toughness and block break moments tho
nah, you could eat mauler/crusher heads and only take toughness damage previously
as it was implemented previously, your toughness would just eat all of it at 100%
this melee spillover was introduced in 1.0.50 according to grimlackt's post
yea there was also the days of yore where toughness capped at 90% DR
ah that too
i think patch 1.0.50 is Patch #9 Garbs and Penances
and I see nunna that mentioned
The days back when toughness was bugged and having over 100 meant you took more damage until you took full damage at 200
Good times
whats happening with that?
We will have to rename our accounts for cross play
wdym by accounts? Like we have the characters named but other then that its just using our steam
Because it's crossplay we need to rename our account inside darktide
Ohh so they must be doing cross progression then too I imagine
Not all but those with conflicts
Yeah....last time this happened to me I lost my account name to my own account on console .....
At least it won't happen here since I don't have it on gamepass
Saw a Psyker named Mike Jones last night, if you're in here I fuck with you man
LMAO
We do get the drip tho eh
what perks do y'all run on the purg staff?
flak, crit chance
hmm is that better than flak/unarmored?
i like crit chance because it affects everything
crits add extra DOT stacks faster, don't they
yes
thing is most unarmored opponents are already food for the purgatus
i have warp flurry 3/nexus 3 atm but i haven't been able to find 4 of either blessings
that's true. i'll try out crit chance
should i be worried about warp possession or are hairy lips sanctioned by the inquisition?
+1 to this, makes Maulers die faster and crit chance is a general damage boost for Purge
What % burn for 15 stacks?
burn the beast
its 76%

psyker GAINING*
cuz of warp nexus? no? 😦
this game threw multiple 8-packs of melee elites at us
thankfully between the trauma staff and the paul ogryn none of them did anything
bought this grey from the peddler, thank you Hadron for not ruining it, Infested swap to? and going to switch nexus to rending
probably into +unarmoured for one-shotting dreg bruisers (450 hp)
or u could just hit weakspots
smh
if you're running warp unleashed, you could also attempt to maintain 4 warp charges to one-shot them
unskilled binch
I run Battery ususally
And often WU, but for this maybe IT, don't play Trauma much
if not +unarmoured, then +flak is usually my second option (hits a two-shot breakpoint on dreg gunners and helps with scab maulers/ragers)
i only really think inner tranq is worth anything on trauma if u run deimos
if u have an illisi that's gonna be much more usable for horde clear than spamming trauma will
flak is may usual go-to for elite/special coverage
Deimos is my sword of choice
this is probably the worst conga line of elites ever
not elites specialists
spawning on that fucking door when u have to go up this tiny ass staircase
pure cancer
specialists spawning 10 meteres away from you is good design
especially when it's a narrow corridor
i do enjoy this irritating autopistol zealot eating shit to the first one
wish it happened with all 3 of the bursters
now just imagine for a moment if this was a bunch of hounds
and they do that super long range instant pounce bullshit
simply don't get pounced
pro gaming
the ability to hear their little tippy fucking tappies through all the other noises is well appreciated
lately i havent found dogs to be too annoying actually. Idk if they fixed their netcode on their server end but dogs feel much less bs
every hound kill is a kill i cherish
for i am eternally cursed to suffer the pain of fighting hounds with bad ping
they're fine when they don't spawn too close or are audible
the animation finishes
the sword isnt even on the fuckin screen by the time it pounces me
this is why dogs should be one shot
its fucking stupid
trash
if you are using it on a voidstrike
when you crit with either lmb or rmb it fires a second shot
your base crit chance is 5%
if its on trauma then it only works on lmb
So it is just a literal 2nd shot
yep
OK I was very confused because I just had to deal with warp nexus and how it a word
Thanks
Josho, what weapons were you using?
trauma/illisi
If you get a chance, could you post your trauma staff?
Surge's second shot comes out ever so slightly delayed that it gets cancelled if you do something like vent or sprint.
don't bother he uses focused channeling
its like
the definition of skill issue

i've psy-oped derpy into believing things about me that arent true
specialists is a shit perk and warp flurry doesnt do anything for how i use trauma staff
Yoooo but that score board.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the low warp res is pretty cool cuz if u play like i do ur never really using more than 2-3 trauma explosions at a time
How do you use trauma? Just mega nuke and then go in?
unless its a big pack of maulers/crushers/etc in which case the stagger gives u enough time to quell
He uses trauma like a secondary weapon
sometimes i'll use it to build peril up when a horde spawns
Gotchya.
so really he should be using blazing crit smh
otherwise its nice for staggering specials/elites
yeah illisi is the main weapon in this build
it makes fighting big packs of maulers/ragers considerably easier since it removes any thinking from the fight
the only time its really a primary weapon is if ur fighting a series of shooter packs
in which case flurry also isn't helpful because you're probably sprinting between casts and not holding RMB
if i had any amount of good RNG it would probably be flak/unarmored with rending shockwave and focused channeling
but hadron hates my psyker
you can maintain flurry if you sprint-slide around, though it is a bit slower than just running around
i've been using a focused + flurry staff lately since I figured that my teammates don't really exploit it much and the marginally faster charges might be better even if I don't use it to its fullest potential with inner tranq
sprint sliding while charging staffs is awkward and absolutely not worth the reward its given me
i wuv it
Arco needs intervention for bad taste smh
u need intervention for loving being sniped
derpy just cant handle that there's psyker playstyles that let u do actual damage
mfw focused channeling is described as "let u do actual damage"
it enables more opportunities to deal more damage
L + Ratio + averages 140k damage in a hi int + mosquito
it really doesn't
can't deal damage when you have to regen toughness or you're dead
and it allows you to charge it when taking HP damage
you just have an immense skill issue so you need focused channeling to compensate
what skill issue
i'm not sure if you're still meming or you're actually serious about it
who knows
l + ratio + can't fight a single bulwark with knife + mosquito
ngl tho I can't take anyone seriously the moment they say L+ratio lmao
I mean i've had it said to me unironically before
lol
L + ratio
im enjoying this drip a lil too much
L for loser or wte
what the fuck does drip mean
what the fuck is with all these zoomers
and their terms
im just annoyed the coolest part of this outfit is on the fucking back
dude imagine still saying drip
basically a cool term for fashion
everyone know its all about that rizz now
slightly
than just drip
yeah
rizz is a shortening of charisma
that makes a lot of sense
its so dumb
makes it more easier to appreciate
yeah i have a valid reason to be near josho's back now
😉
🤨
this is psyker chat, not psyker chat 2 or vet chat
is ogryn chat normally down bad? idk I don't check in there often enough
this is where i go to not get harassed ok u cant do that here
ogryn chat is almost never down bad
its an oasis of semi-normal individuals (now that certain ones have left)
and derpy goes into there to troll
the new headband is pretty nice, someone complimented me yesterday for this look
You can get it done within an hour if you started immediately after posting that message and then went REALLY HARD on focusing hordes only
i think you can do it in a hour, its very difficult though and whether you should reroll or not is up to you. if you want guarunteed, i can think of 3 missions without death and speedrun sedition. unless you can get one of those diamatine and plasteel ones again and try to do that in one or two missions.
ended upr erolling and finishing and easier one
How does the blessing deflector work? I mean technically
It blocks projectiles
If you're not running the peril block skill it costs stamina, if you are it costs peril
but if you want to reach your max potential DPS in melee, its not a good choice
It also adds a cost reduction to blocking in general, although it's not material (ay rank of the blessing will do, really.)
It will not block sniper shots, however.
(that is to say it doesn't change the math on them in any special way)
i do not really have a dps problem, i just made a 5 warp resist with slaughterer and deflector
and it's kinda nice to go high peril fast
Deflector is great. You can min max dps for sure, but the game doesn't need it.
wish it was unstable on it but hey
You could have "Unstable" an thusly another 20% extra power
Ye
Deflector is very meh in the grand scheme of things
Deflector is one of my favourite blessings. It lets you play very aggressively as psyker.
another caveat is that the block cost reduction from Deflector applies only to ranged attacks and not melee
You can take a lot more risks, and the the synergy with Quietide is obvious.
tbh, unstable is fine but i find myself liking executor a lot
that's if you run deflection with it no?
Kinetic Deflection is just good in general, but yeah.
Deflector w/o Kinetic Deflection is rough. There's probably a build there that could work, but Deflection is just very strong.
Quietitude/Kinetic Deflector + Deflector is very strong, self sufficient build. Tank shots, get toughness when you want it, you can play very aggressively.
And it's just fun to play jedi
keep in mind it works in a cone in front of you. shots from the side will still hit you. snipers will hit you regardless
