yea but i might mock it 
gameslantern isnt the best
(not you, you wouldnt know any better)
well it uses obscurus
2 wounds not good
obscurus is massively dwarfed by Illisi n Deimos FS
completely wrong blessings and perks on both weapons
obscurus isn't too good either, deimos is my go to cause it's good melee single target
well +maniac is good
LITERALLY
feats list is fucked too
for purg you want warp nexus minimum
takes no soulblaze feats but the last one imo that's kinda bad
i'm not convinced
could yo try with 60 ish % BE and vs poxs ?
this build is old as well, and hasn't been updated in 6 months....yikes
okay so then I guess I am asking for any help to build a good anti-horde, anti-monster purg build
this is what id use for the feats, warp battery and warp unleashed increases your soulblaze damage + you can apply more soulblaze with your ability, at 6 charges its strong enough to kill shooters on its own
ascending blaze is a false flag to me you need some conditions to make your aoe dots kill shooters
and you lose all your charges
depend if you wanna focus hard on this or be more omni tool with kinetic barrage
with your damage usually being buffed by either damage% perks, warp unleashed or your melee's power% blessings at 6 stacks it does work
slaughterer can be proc' by any kills while you have the weapon active and the busted scaling makes everything else melt
its sorta why I stopped using it too, mostly just letting azo know all the options
yeah thats why i warn him

I always saw brain burst as not very useful, am I wrong in thinking that? Since it's single target, and you won't be fighting single target for most of the time
its a relatively fast, high damage single target nuke with infinite range
i 'd say it has its uses , especialy with kinetic barrage
which can penetrate crusher armor
very good for snipers and shieldryn too
it has many breakpoints and is generally very useful
it staggers anything it hits except bosses
it's a nice utility weapon
and given the total lack of ranged single-target in our current selection of force staffs, it nicely covers that gap to an extent
its basically a weaker but precise ogryn box
It also lets you damage fast ones like dogs reliably for when they run away and you can deal with ranged enemies safely by going behind cover after grabbing one
It’s a good ability but it’s also a bit bland compared to what we could of had
My experience as psyker against bosses is mostly to just brain burst till it’s dead and that’s kinda mid 
okay I'll have to try it out more then
prob more useful on higher difficulties when you start encountering groups of 6 crushers/bulwarks
you get way more charges cause of the 10%
thought quicken
just sounds really good
What do you like about quicken?
it feeds into itself
double all warp charge gains+ at 6 stacks that is 75% cd refund
super good for edging peril
With communion?
yee and any BBs
they are all pretty good imo
not zealot level of feat difference

random ass shade being thrown into the trauma staff's direction at the end
oh that's a dec 2022 opinion
even hotter take
makes sense why they didn't like the trauma, but it was still pretty decent even back before the peril generation and quelling buffs
better in visual effect tbh
not making my screen blue every 5s or dipped my fps every 2s
or crashing your game
i'm pretty sure the flamer crashed some people's games back then, but i don't know if purg also did that
i think purg also crash the game
everything crashed the game
i had the game crash when i opened a yellow box like... 3 times
So....they've chosen death
I like how they've also been banned
Speaking of trauma. The better Ive gotten at quell cancelling the less and less I've found warp flurry to be useful on trauma
yeah esp when not running inner tranq or ulting after getting stacks
i ran a focused + rending shockwave trauma for a while and it felt fine, since it does have a fat charge
though I've swapped to focused + warp flurry after realizing that rending is useless in pub matches if no one knows it's there, and I refuse to communicate with my teammates
if u say anything to them they will detect ur weak and effeminate frame
smh
they won't detect my weak and effeminate frame because my frame is not weak and/or effeminate
Rending is kinda useful if you wanna put 8 stacks on a crusher then 1 shot with diemos special but that's about it
one of my rationales was keeping it was for smacking a crusher with it and following it up with 2 BBs to kill it, but then I finally tested it and realized that crushers get 2-shot anyways
aren’t crushers 3 BBs?
i meant like blasting them with a trauma secondary and then following that up with 2 BBs
since BB deals 0.75x damage to carapace and rending would help it
on damnation?
yeah they're three BBs
ah
I'm pretty sure rending doesn't even affect bb
Don't quote me on that
I'm pretty sure rending doesn't even affect bb
-ZazyMomba
yeah it's pretty weird to think of rending affecting BB given how it feels and the other weird ass modifier it has; here's a demo https://streamable.com/8fb4kl
968 damage with brittleness applied by the rashad and 908 at its base
What’s currently seen as the best dueling sword?
Rending increases BB damage against crushers and maulers only
Sigh
Deimos Force Sword
Does it have the insane dodge?
Yup
Very nice
It has same dodge as the non mk V Duelling swords but you have infinite limit on that
In all the ways that count it's a straight upgrade to the dueling swords
Minus the fancy dueling pose
@near wyvern liked your video series btw
Main reason why I'm gonna hop on the Heavy Fsword as soon as it comes out
i would need a weapon with 20% BE for that and I don't have one
ngl I kinda wish the neutral stance for dueling swords was the stretched arm you do shortly after finishing an attack or a block instead of the idle near the body
since it actually mirrors the third person animation
the current idle feels like the first person pistol thing where it's too close to the body compared to reality
i kind of wish
they took Deflector off Force Swords
and made it a feat, replacing Mind in Motion
which is fucking useless and never taken
would open up melee options a bit
South America hours
ok quick q
why the fuck does the surge staff not have the surge blessing
7 ate 9
i'll eat u
(he's flushed because he thinks it means something sexual but i am in fact a rabid cannibal)
Because that would make sense
why am i seeing more gun psykers than staff psykers?
being able to have autopistol + BB for long range and carapace enemies is fun
you're not punished for taking it like you are with vet
It's also used often with Ascending blaze builds to be able to buff the DoT with pinning fire
Ogryns the best

Love me sweet brutes
I use Illisi to clear hordes because I have class 🎩
I do kinda agree with the OP tho, as long as we forget Surge staff exists.
Smh how dare you
Surge staff is meta ;-;
Also ik @spice veldt over there loves spamming the illisi and barely uses trauma
melee psyker op
illisi is best boy
you might enjoy the first person animation approach in this game, assuming it comes out past its initial showcase

To be announced
I’m sorry amigo

What's better for Deimos? Slaughterer+Unstable or Slaughterer+Uncanny?
Looking to end my crippling Deflector addition
Unstable for easier muties 1shot, uncanny for killing teammates and letting soulblaze burn through crushers
For killing teammates?
I don't follow
Unstable scales with peril, and people will sometimes expode themselves because of greeding + not paying attention
Uncanny works against players as well, removing their damage resistance from barrels exploded by the person with uncanny stacks.
Oh... oh dear
for the bloodthirsty blessing it applies a 100% crit on special kill to the NEXT strike right?
Yes
Correct.
Bloodthirsty is best for Illisi
And sorta for a chainsword if you pair it with a trauma staff
ok ty
End even then it's mediocre at best
what perks people generally run for a mk5 dueling sword? flak/maniac im guessing?
haven't used dueling sword in a while but that would be my first instinct. ultimately depends on the ranged weapon you're bringing. for example you might not care for maniac if you use autopistol for ragers/mutants
was thinkin trauma, but only just got psyker to 30 so i dont really have any good ranged weapons yet
Flax maniac is good yeah, but you should consider using Deimos as it's just the better dueling sword
yeah thats the plan once i get a good one, but just sorta lucked into a decent dueling off the shelf so figured itll be good enough for now
@delicate walrus since you just dinged 30 on psyker, you might find some of these to be useful
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOqPFl_Q4iarX8ICc5Cwfc_ojsqKtEt1b
but im happy enough with it for hittin 30 yesterday afternoon
should be good enough til i get a nice deimos at least?
That's a pretty good roll for a dueling sword
is it even possible to proc rampage on this mark?
Push attack is your best bet
It has the most cleave of all dueling sword attacks
But outside of trash no way
any better blessings i should aim for instead?
Probably Riposte, if you have that
NOOO
No riposte
It requires an enemy to go through the attack animation when you dodge
That happens constantly.
If anything (you, ally, explosions, whatever) staggers the enemy (always stagger your enemies!) and interrupts the hit (always interrupt enemy hits!) you get no buff.
why do psykers suck so badly every team with psykers i have on random just folds like paper because they cant do anything
Same reason Vets suck so badly
Cause Psykers are like paper if you play with your head between your butt cheeks
Because people suck so badly
no issues with vet teams
It's definitely happened to me
its just i notice that every psyker i encountered so far on Tier 3 plus must be dragged through the mission because they contribute zero
Them being a psyker has nothing to do with it. That player would probably need help on any class
and it buffles me because i just started playing my first psyker and i can already handle tier 3 hordes on lvl 8 so it cant be the class itself
it just confuses me
Because the character design
Fundamentally makes it easier to be useless as psyker
You can just only use brainburst in the back
And when you get carried
You dont necessarily get the feedback that you were completely useless
You just think "omg shooters"
Or "omg they surrounded me from behind"
Instead of "hmm i didnt contribute much this game"
The same reason i get potato sacks like this playing vet. Its not the class, its the player. Psyker is a lot harder to play than vet as well, with same hp, less toughness, no access to insanely fast stacking toughness regen (vet elite kill toughness thing), and none of the staves being good at dealing with mass shooters spread around.
I think psyker might have some more pitfalls then most classes but at malice level it really doesnt matter.
One of the most common is surge users only spamming the lmb of surge the entire match for stuns. These psykers dont really do damage they are more just expecting someone else to compensate for their lack of damage.
Classes like vet dont really get this situation as its nearly always good for them to have the gun out and shot things.
I think a bit part of it is people flailing in melee
psyker is actually a very very insanely melee intensive
and some people go into it thinking it isn't lol
Psyker really needs its 30 talents to shine. Also, anyone under 30, on any class, is still learning the class and playing with missing tools and crap weapons/curios
I really dont think psyker actually needs to be level 30 to shine.
It more just comes down to people below level 30 being unexperinced with their tools.
eh I think every class is pretty dogshit pre30
lmao
you just dont do damage
cuz your gear is like 30%
Agree to disagree. I think being able to wipe out a good chunk of crushers/bulwarks in a pack with Kinectic Barrage shining very much, or frying a room with Ascendant Blaze etc
Time is hardly ever on your side, etc etc
Though it likely more puts pressure on teammates rather then the psyker itself.
Its pretty easy as a psyker to survive against crushers and bulwarks since psykers can slide while brainbursting.
Our ult also knocks them back, etc
And multiple of our staves can stagger/stun them
it's fine
slaughterer is overpowered right now, but will probably be nerfed
unstable lets you hit a breakpoints for mutants
Woah
i dont like it but i guess some people like it
i always put slaughterer + either deflector, or uncanny for deimos
This is the story of a Force Sword which was rejected even before arriving. However, this shiny blade proved us all wrong with the mighty speed of warp and a jab that hits like a truck.
Animation lock 🤮
If I could have evis for psyker it would be goated for trauma staff
Knock everything on their ass so you can pick which one you saw
It's what I do already with chainsword
does transfer peril not apply on voidstrike when at 100%?
The projectile has to hit before you go into hand mode.
because then you aren't holding the staff so the blessing is not active.
Which of these two would you choose? Planning on replacing terrifying barrage on the second one to t4 warp nexus
i dont use surge tbh but prob the 2nd one so you can swap infested perk for something else. i cant imagine 8% elites is that good on surge but i might be wrong
Surge damage doesn't matter anyway. Just slap flak on it that's the only thing it does damage to.
Terrifying Barage is garbage
does killing enemies with the soulblaze dot procc warp absorption?
not with direct flame from the purge staff
Okay, what's the play here?
I was gonna replace specialist with crit chance and upgrade infernus, but speedload is terrible
granted there aren't many good blessings for the laspistol
and having reload speed maxed out is kinda fun.
Reassuringly accurate is quite nice on it with crit chance
You have +10% reload and with speeload it actually makes it quite nice to plink with of you like sprinting
You can hipfire laspistol while sprinting even without run n gun, just not at full fire rate
pretty sure there's also a higher crit chance when ads
i'd take left and swap maniac to flak
theyre both pretty much the same though
ok psyker gang, say theoretically i was going to take the illisi and a surge staff, going warp flurry and warp nexus would be the best right?
and what should my feat tree be like, I'm planning on doing my best to clear shooters with it and stun enemies if needed, but avoid being a cc bot
yes
the build is the same as any other staff
you can use warp unleashed and battery if you want to frontload damage
but youll have to full charge every time and you wont be able to do it much
i find inner tranq better for surge
Yea I was going to ask about that mechanic
i know purge staff charge just affects how long you spray flames
so surge staff damage maximizes at full charge thanks
yep
what you can do is quick charge to get flurry up and use ult at 100 to keep flurry going with more peril
inner tranq over warp unleashed? I'm pretty good at edging my perils but you right it might help more with surge staff
i would say to try it out for a run or two
i will still leveling (24) but i already have 2 other level 30s
already got some important blessings tho including deflector for force swords
i like inner tranq because with battery and ult i can do like 10 full charges
i use warp absorption but quietude is great too
theres some memery you can do with uncanny strike on deimos but honestly just go with slaughtere + unstable/deflector
on illisi slaughter + unstable/deflector/bloodthirsty
could change soon as they might balance blessings but for now this is the meta
yee deflector+slaughter was what I was thinking for illisi too, since i'll use it mostly for hordes
God i love joining the game, completely desync'd
only to dc
welp time to rejoin and hope my team hasn't wiped (it's a malice warmup so they should be fine?
you'd be surprised
Surge can kill shooters, but not very reliably, most of the time its a good idea to focus on the enemies your teammates are also focusing on.
Surge is usually good at stunning Specials.
Even though I don't use it too often, I can tell you that it's damn good at stopping Mutants and Hounds in their tracks.
its good for anything that isnt hordes
Yes
you dont even need your team. you can quick cast it and swap to melee and do your own thing
it requires a more methodical playstyle most people just dont like
The only reason I don't use it is because I just don't have them yet.
im thinking if i'm going say
the damage im planning
i can clear shooters
also idk, besides ragers and crushers
as a zealot main, I don't want to be THAT surge psyker that fucks with horde pacing
yeah there is that tendency to be overly safe esp with the surge/trauma staffs
yee i don't want to be that psyker I wanna surge like i saw this one psyker in my damnation game do
which was absolutely body shooters in 1-3 charged up shocks
but for now, i'll go generic soulblaze
since you know how to melee, you'll probably do better than most
instead of being that damn psyker who's surging a lone hound 10 miles behind the team
psycho behavior
psyker behavior
TRUE
I think i'm already getting the hang of edging perils, I only blew up, twice this week?
that's 11 levels of grinding i'd say that's pretty good
how should I do curios, toughness? HP? put in a wound cause im not a zealot?
wounds are not a bad idea if youre new to the class
im running HP cause a: i have 3 hp ones and I feel squishy asf to even chip damage
oh then no
i'm not running wounds unless it is needed
its not
the 150hp puts you closer to getting fucked by snipers/poxbursters so hp is useful
I personally found myself taking more and more toughness as I became more comfortable with psyker
UGH blessed by fate
I have to wait for the animation to start i'm guessing for the penance
ye
thought i'd make progress by saving F for 100% but i only have 1 progress
aight i have curios and 25 talent now
timet o move to heresy
the only time i blow myself up is when someone leaves me unattended with a trauma staff and 1 to multiple bursters
i am not very good at remembering the exact cutoff for getting 1 most cast off before death
thats why surge is best. so you can push those bursters into your team for daring to not be near you
deliberately hitting teammates with bursters is no fun
be stupid like me and do it on accident
i can recall three asssassination attempts by surge psykers
the one above is just a wonky interaction with surge and angled walls so i can't fault them for that
but that same psyker surged a burster when I was standing opposite of it
what a menace
he went down 3 times before
died
and then went down a bunch again
kept surging hordes and not dodging
note: none of the players involved in this clip were thinking particularly smart thoughts
intimidating that burster with your ripper out and the slow walk
can't believe the surge psyker would foil your plan
i was scarin the shit out of it
this was a very long time ago
as in like at least a month
bursters in closets are absolute menaces
makes me glad to be running trauma so that I don't have to be paranoid
vet nades are better
lemayo sure
cope
virgin vet nade vs chad trauma staff
yeah look at that headstart that you needed to beat my trauma
i could've had three generations of descendants in that timeframe
really
i dont think ur weak body is fertile enough. fucking failure at killstealing bursters
smh
he has awakened
this is the content i really paid for
who will bring out the steel chair first
i dont think this is a wwe match
that's the kind of thinking that gets you hit with a steel chair from behind
from what I've seen arco usually loses
so fucking true thank u mittins
when he is depicted as a short man in thigh highs struggling to lift a small object
i've never lost in my entire life
virgin
how much did you pay virenna huh
nothing
sure
me and mittins are longstanding allies
seduced them with your femboy charms
i do not seduce people
if you don't seduce them then why do i find you so hot huh
that's a you problem
not a you problem when it happened to everybody in zealot chat
i took a foot into zealot chat and was immediately contaminated with your charms
that's also a them problem
also this is like victim blaming
smh
says the person calling it a "you" or "them" problem
if anything, we're the real victims
who is we
victims to your hot femboy charms
this sounds like a very long setup to a pickup line
anonymous members of zealot chat
can u just get to the end already
fatshark pls release content
this is the real endgame of darktide right here
go with the waves or perish in its tides
they did release content
eventually you will go to bed and set an alarm for three hours from now
it didnt change anything
don't worry slaughterer nerf is coming then you can play with hadron all day again
Who's getting seduced and charmed?
'play' with hadron
more like recreate a 1950s husband coming home from a bad day at work
me and other anonymous members of zealot chat
gonna beat the SHIT out of her
this is psyker chat
zealot chat is psyker chat #2
I'm sure Hadron is the daddy here and we're the subs with Stockholms
she's mostly machine just install windows ME on her
get with the times
Joshexual
I am no longer turned on
Hold [x] to barter
lol
it was a reminder to myself
redo it (i have no idea how male work)
very carefully
they cut the balls off and jar them
source: you should trust me
nice this is lore
Careful the balls might grow into babies
true
Jar-Jar Balls
no man you're supposed to eat them
That's how you get gregnant
go back to zealot chat
Pregante?????
Josho started it lol
how get pomegranate
Josh always starts it
i love that video
look i start things and i dont realize the consequences and i regret them
its the josho way of doing thingsd
0 forethought, all impulse
So since you acknowledged your guilt, you are exempt from consequence?
i c
no idea
i dont make da rules
Who does? Catfish? Haha
HMMMM.
How viable is Thrust Caxe?
its ok
Dayum stahp charming meee haha
i wouldn't rate it over decimator
so charmed that you forgot that this is psyker chat
hey arco i know u havent switched loadouts in 600 hours but caxe is also a psyker weapon
Arc understand
of course

😳
I'm... just gonna watch silently
also like
u could have chosen anything besides this to say
well i wanted to chooes something that would fulfill multiple desires
it will be 6 hours of this
yeah and what about it
I observe a fact
TRUE
mittins is like uh
i'm struggling to find something to compare mittins to
in fact you know what i give up
mittins is mittins
I have seen many become goated with the sauce and bust it down sexual style
go shawtyt
ok firstly
not this game but 2 games ago
how do you die 3 times in one game as vet
on malice
are you playing on the obama phone?
and fristrly
samsung smart fridge
love psyker but jesus
i feel like i have to rely on my team way more to watch my back and make sure they are properly clearing
too often my teammates run 2 rooms ahead meanwhile i'm getting pummeled by shooters and bruisers
is that bonbibonkers
I almost forgot it's a girl, with all the femboys out there looking indistinguishable
yea
featherless biped
I crave featherless bipeds
What are we running for blessings on Duelling sword these days?
Uncanny strike and either shred or rampage
don't worry eventually you will become a god and realize that teammates only hold you back
barrel them and don't look back
good luck affording a comically large jar to live in in this economy
Teamwork is the entire name of the game. You're going to get suck teammates now and again
the teammates are there to remove Princess the Child Mutilator from my face when I fail the dodge
poxhound owners
Even when you get good teammates.. particularly those you're familiar with... a little harmless trolling can throw a spanner in teh works 
Yo, when I was changing a tire the owner had this pitbull in the repair shop
And I started playing with her
And she started biting my arm pretty light, so I'd move it around a bit
And now you're in hospital?
pitbull biting? uhoh
And eventually she started wanting to bite harder and harder until I realized she was going to rip my jacket
So I had to spent the rest of the time gently pushing the dog away and she kept trying to bite me
"No, not anymore, you don't know how to play" and she'd come back again and try to do it again
It was cute, but a bit concerning
id have called the police ngl
Hey respect for noticing an not further encouraging it, thats a lot more than most dumbasses will do
(Not that im calling you a dumbass, but those who let that go on are)
Yeah, when I saw she was going to keep biting progressively harder I cut playtime short
I didn't even care she was drenching my coat in saliva before, she was just being cute
It reminded me of that character from Of Mice and Men that didn't know his own strength and ended up being a tad bit hurtful
Sadly its easy to forget that Pitts were bred to be fighting dogs :/ Causes a lot of problems both for the pooch an anyone unlucky enough to be in teh crosshairs
I remember my uncle had one and he even had the edgy name to go with it
jesus
edging my perils this hard for my penance
giving me anxiety
why does it have to be 100% and about to explode and not just 100%
Kill would climb up an entire floor of the house on the wall if prompted
yee pitties need special training and prob some selective breeding
I wouldnt say special training per say, but they're not a dog suitable for inexperienced owners
tbh all the pitties and rotties in my life have been sweet things that played with bunnies but their owner's were good
You trying to do the wacky jihad penance?
big ew
blessed by faith
I HAVE TO BE literally in the animation before i explode for it to count
i'd thought it would count just for being at 100% but nooo
For that one I honestly just opened a sedition match and kept doing it in the spawn
I'd say special training like, have a course certification that you can train and handle a pitbull, like service dog training
I guess you could have some success doing it with psykinetic's aura in the middle of matches due to how often you can then ult
i'm doing about 12 per match now that i know the exact requirements
not hard now besides one time where i was animation locked while being mobbed in melee
max hp to 13 hp real quick
Ive known a number of Pitts over the years owned by gypsies (well, pikeys), they aint got no special training, but the dogs were good as gold, obviously they'd be dangerous if given the indication to be such, but yeah normally totally good dogs
true, our rottie as a kid, was super protective of us kids but was never aggressive ya know?
My cousin has a pitt and she's quite a dear too
and our pittie mix (with golden lab) was all lab personality
Doesn't even play bite, just tries to be cute
stupid and loving
would pull and drag you through the ground if you got her to excited while running on a leash, and could probably dislocate your shoulder in tug of war
but she was sweet and dumb as hell
tried playing with every animal even if she didn't understand how imposing she was
she could leap our fence in one jump, but she wouldn't run off she'd just run around to the front door and bark
My other uncle's dog was like that and she was just a big goofball
The other dogs would get scared because she was like this white version of a German shepherd and she was fucking massive
But she didn't get into petty barking or anything, kind of in part because my uncle was really harsh on her with everything and I really hated that part
If I prodded her she'd want to play with me all the time and get that mass of white fur on my clothes tho
also damn i'm 3/4 on killing 4 elites in 12 seconds
Always good having nice family dogs 🙏
wish my team didnt try taking all my kills XD
While looking for an image of the dog I came across a picture I took of a hair length that didn't get fucked after using a helmet
Truly blessed to have had such joys in my life
There's also some really cursed shit
At some point in my life I uttered the words "femoids striving for a husboid hmu just trimmed my ass today"
This is information I needed to share
We've all said some cringe shit in our day kek, was a right dirty little bastard as a youth 
Cringe? My man, it was hella based and I'm sharing out of pride 
i love my team speedrunning past rooms and leaving 10 shooters for me to deal with
very fun and interactive
I’m fueled by spite here, what’s a good gun to pair with the Deimos blade?
i should learn to not give a shit and just run with them
welp we only had 2 deaths and one grim loss
not bad
god damn, psyker just can't take hits once you are high peril and low stamina
I feel like a nerd being bullied at school
When a psyker gets in trouble, he goes down FAST. 😬
What’s a good gun to use with the illisi blade?
the autopistol and mg iv infantry lasgun are decent picks if you really wanna use a gun with it
alternatively, a revolver can be surprisingly useful too
Which one is the IV?
the blue infantry lasgun, with a teeny stock
it shoots fast and works well under pressure and vs. shooters and specials
though if u wanna use it, it pretty much needs the FullAuto mod on nexus to not be painful to use
I see.
pls don't use the mg 4
at that point might as well use the laspistol imo
or the mg 12 which actually does damage when you shoot
i would suggest laspistol but its special is kinda useless with an illisi
i mean near-useless in general but even moreso when u can kill the horde instead of shove it around. also yea the mg12 is better i just forget about it because it feels boring so ive scrapped every single one ive ever gotten
rev is bad tho
and like, not in an "you aren't min maxing way"
it is kinda bad yea but its very fun and also can just shut down every flamer and trapper
....which is weird... that its best use is as a CC tool rather than a powerhouse..
in a, you struggle to hit breakpoints even in heresy, let alone damnation
then use voidstrike imo
synergizes better with psyker
Wait can Psykers use bolters?
nope
There went that idea
We are far too unstable to ever be let near a bolter
yea, non-SM psykers don't get the bolter it looks like
even on tabletop and that's one thing GW likes to reel in with their oversight on FS
hell, looks like we are even lucky to have guns considering it looks like tabletop is 99% is all using staff
Well then they would need to actually do something and make more staves and God forbid they have content in the game and thus gunkers were born
also got my blessed by fate penance so i can stop EDGING so hard
imo they should rework staves, give them a unique crafting/pathway
let psykers customize it and mix match delivery/damage types
I want more fun blessings and also blazing spirit 4
I’d like a staff based on single target damage tbh
prob not
psyker has no single target damage
BB is for that
and deimos
That’s… why I said I want that…
void strike is the closest thing

Autopistol is the best single target we have right now. All his single target is in the bb and melee
theres basically no reason to run voidstrike imo besides haha funny bowling ball
i'd rather them just, make staffs unique cause warp magic is way more flexible than fantasy magic
let people make chain lightning with soulblaze, or trauma quake with lightning, literally summoning a lightning strike
and buff them all across the board
you aren't constrained by Sienna being stuck with fire magic
Who I think is gonna become an ice mage.
Death
:DDDD
people suggest the dumbest sh*t sometimes
tbf whatever i think is just fun is what i suggest i dont care abt optimal stuff
and i was close to suggesting the recons but like. they do so little damage they arent even fun
Yeah, Death
Or otherwised named amethyst order, uses death magic, but opposes necromancy and necromancers
scythe and sickle could be new weapons added in the dlc
Mg4 ammo is crazy much so theres that haha
would be suspicious, but not full blown necromancy
Our Psyker could use a staff like Kerillians deepwood, trap enemies in a time bubble
that's not a bad idea
idk if darktide engine has time dilation mechanics but i'm completely down for it
fuck, i'd take some killing floor effects too
ZED Time
There's been plenty of references ingame as to how warp travel can have serious time-related repercussions. So that doesn't sound like something too far-fetched.
Surge can still hurt and crit, theorised time staff would do no damage
I still think Voidstrike is boring af, I wanted to create actual voids that suck up enemies not shoot a generic energy ball
it would have to do some DoT to affected enemies or damage on entering, exiting or being inside while it expires
Left click would do damage and hopefully it will be a new left click not generic psybolt ...perhaps return of Sienna Coruscation Staff shotgun blast
Funny how with Sienna's limitation of only fire magic we get more variety of staff attacks
That would likely be a blessing
2 techpriests 1 weapon
aight boys we done
nuh uh
ur kinda a dummy im sure u got lost
adgip;ljkhfs;'hljkzd;'lkhjd;klzjnh
still shit crit bonus is bad
definitely not a yas queen type gun
get a non-320 revolver
ur about to be slapped
fact checked by twitter experts
There are twitter experts?
looks like ur gonna have to run battery
aaaa
why are vets that steal my BBs
always the wrost at dealing with shooters?
random poxwalker in the distance im using to refresh charges? ez, actual shooters? can't aim for sh*t
clearly if the target is glowing it's the psyker helping the team see the next target
idk wtf psykers are complaining about???? you literally have a built-in mark for death mechanic????
smh ur HIGHLIGHTING the head for me
wiped cause ogryn went and faff'd about instead of doing objective far awy from us, went down cause he touched flamer juice
Also turns out even with good damage rolls I just can't beat the shit multiplier on shooter arms
one vet got 1v5'd by dreg bruisers, and the other vet slow walked the ammo to the depository instead of coming to help
i failed my net dodge so my bad
Gonna test 25% maniac to see if the missing unarmored still allows me one-shot bodyshots and double-tapping ranged elites
I should've pushed then dodged so i'd have room
like, I could've played better so i'm gonna focus on that
and not my 2 teammates going down for stupid reasons, i'm pretty sure my vet Caxe didn't have BM on it
No unarmored loses me a breakpoint on dreg bruisers
Flamers are ridiculously tanky either way
Dogs take five bodyshots
Flamers take 4, at least with maniac
Aight, no maniac brings me down to 4 dreg rager bodyshots
Maniac is good, I love maniac
truly the vets are doing us a service by killing things for us
do warp charges and warp unleashed help you hit any breakpoints on psyker?
If you combine them with warp unleashed after a certain peril you also get to two-hit crushers and, I think, reapers
oh i meant for revolver
The revolver is shit for most things
do u use it because u feel a spiritual connection
Yes
I take things that are cast aside and make them my own because I have a condition where I feel genuine empathy for inanimate objects
On the first day of moving to a rental room I actually felt sad to see a big cup gathering dust in the cupboard and decided to use it religiously
Years later and moving out to an apartment, it's sitting here with me on my desk
I actually asked the landlady if I could have the cup because I developed a bond with it
i pick staff because staff i cool
the only object i have any affinity for is my blahaj
But uhhhh revolver
I have good damage rolls on it, but I can't one-tap shotgunners on a headshot
do u have battery
even with a crit?
I would estimate a godroll can do that without modifiers
With a crit I can
This revolver deals 745 damage to a scab shotgunner on a headshot, missing curiously 6 (not 5) damage
4 charges
It also can't one-hit a dreg bruiser on a bodyshot
do u have warp unleashed
With maniac, elites and sustained fire, not sure if one of them is overkill or not, I can three-shot dreg ragers
Volume of fire would kill the shotgunner
I think it three-shots maulers, but I don't remember
ooh, nice!
Okay, maulers miss a small chunk
yoo nice, 1 mauler out of the 19 that spawned 
I've found that 25% flak/unarmored plus the damage bonus on nearby enemies lets you one-shot headshot shooters with laspistol on zealot
do you need dumdum to be active or its 1shot from the get-go?
Point being, maniac and sustained fire are nice
Sustained fire leaves a fair chunk out on the third shot on a dreg rager, so I think elites might be irrelevant
Of course, there's the biggest problem for revolver performance in the game
Arms
Flamers take longer, shooters might not die in one hit, could even shaft you against gunners
Arms singlehandedly cull a lot of crafting that goes into making revolver a fairly usable weapon with good damage
And considering the weapon has 57 shots and 5 in the drum with a painful reload, the game going "by the way uh you wasted a shot ok bye" really, really stings
you notice hit reg issues a lot more too when you really need to make one shot count lol
Don't get me started on that
Getting robbed of a headshot on a shooter boils my blood
im looking at the breakpoints and yea it has a pretty rough time on other classes than vet
snipers are the worst
I'm one of the funny quirky people, so I actually dislike counting volley fire for breakpoints
Hence why I consider psyker more proficient than vet with many guns
tbh just having a "more damage" button isnt my fav
They also have the caveat of less crit-oriented gameplay and no reload bonuses, which does affect damage output a bit
But balancing around crits is something I have little patience for
Crits are a mechanic I actually hate in games because "random bigger damage" is such a moronic concept
maybe if they touch up crit blessings next patch they will become more accessible and normalized for other classes than vet for range and zealot for melee
I only accept them in automatic weapons because the crits just blend together into the DPS due to each shot being less consequential
skill issue
Now when you have guns that deal massive damage, a crit deciding breakpoints feels like ass
especially if it applies to an entire burst, getting 3-4 crits in a line is great
kiss me
ur bad at darktide im not laying a single affectionate finger on u
not a single? that could mean the whole hand then 
consent is not achieved by smartassery
So uh my ideal revolver: max damage, penetration and reload, speedloader, sustained fire, flak and maniac
4 warp charges and WU considered
Crit revolver I'd only suggest for vets
Also if you're really into the funny combo, one shot to a flamer both knocks them down and primes them to one-shot from BB
It's funky
as a former knife rev zealot
crit revolver with deadshot feat + point blank blessing could work well I think
revolver is really fuckin bad and hard to even get usuable
and imo isn't worth it even min maxed while maintaining peril, it's 5 shots and individual reload+ long reload time
I kinda dislike point blank on the basis of it being a short amount of time after a kill and for some reason revolver's aim swap is slower than laspistol's
The "quickdraw" revolver is slower than the "heavy" laspistol
Honestly give it a reload equivalent to the other guns, one more round, get rid of the fucking arm modifiers and it's a good weapon
Maybe up the maniac modifier too
like taxe and surge i think have
Maniac on the revolver is downright shit and unyielding is very eh to have high on it
so it actually has synergy with it's blessings
Nobody uses revolver as a boss or ogryn killer because you just dump everything you have to maybe kill them
Crit bonus would be interesting
It has a crit damage bonus, but the crit chance listed is declared melee
cause i barely got that thing to crit as zealot, even during the crucian roulette bug
It does feel like it crits more often than the base 5%, so it probably has a hidden modifier already
should give it the Unused combat axe blessing
forgot what it is named, but it's guarenteed critical strike after critically striking a weakspot
slaughter spree?
yea
I would love a way to just guarantee crits on revolver
it might be too powerful of a blessing but rev is weak anyways
VT2's bounty hunter could actually aim for crit breakpoints because one of their passives was a guaranteed ranged crit
maybe gunslinger psyker
that would work pretty well with trickshooter (up to 25 power% on chained weakspots)
If the player could have that as a blessing, revolver could shift to handcannon and that blessing
It going to a gun psyker's feat would be lovely, though I could feel the miff of other classes for not having access to it
yea, they messed up quite a few of the continuous fire blessings
Trickshooter is schnasty
they just work weirdly
yep
and i can keep the warp nexus 3
god idk how
heresy is honetsly worse than damnation
2 of our vets half health in the 1st minute
idk how that is possible
shotgunners?
siblings should I actually try to use this knife, it might be hilarious
That’s a hella good knife give it a few rounds to get a good feel from it

Don’t forget to use your ability if you get overwhelmed
Knife vs Duelling Sword?
They are pretty similar in what they do, it’s mostly the blessings that make them different
And that the duelling sword no longer have their movement tech
The 2h force sword?
Yee
Next Week TM, likely
They said nothing about new weapon atm sadly
But I really want it
I switched to chainsword for my psyker cuz using force swords kinda got boring
And the infinite dodge made me develop bad habits I’m trying to fix
Illisi is one of the strongest melees in the game rn
i'm aware LOL
didn't know it felt so good to use, even better than psword (minus power cycler but oh well can't have it all)
if i were to try to make illisi my "primary weapon" what would be a good support with it? Autopistol?
Surge staff is a decent pick to pair
ok but what if I didn't want to soft troll
With Purgatus there's no need to melee haha
You can use every secondary with Illisi
like ok weak spot hits is acceptable but precog!
Not in the fun way I assume?
i'm HAVING knife ptsd
level 4 precog level 4 precog level 4 precog
i'm gonna write taht on my walls with strawberry jam
ok lets see if i can get another 370+ base to work with
AHHHHHH
i have enough gold for one more after selling them back
323 F
this is what im gonna try for my melee build
gives me blocking power, lots of damage, lots of free regen
lmao that missiondidn't last long
one of our psykers literally walked up and hit the daemon host
2 dead instantly while we just opened the way for some gunners
wasnt even subtle walked up, puffed it with pruge staff, sadly it went for an extra kill
Sometimes I don't even bother fighting the Host if someone triggered it and there's no Thammer or smth
illisi centric build can be 311232 or 313232
warp absorption is not great
it's literally not worth the time to kill hosts unless you have a thammer
also, 3 zealots
i do the most melee

really best 1st feat is 3rd?
ok
i figured 1 cause it's overtime so you can keep the regen chain going
but ill try it
essence harvest requires you to either BB a lot or pick communion/ascendant blaze (and even then there's the element of RNG), so it's pretty niche in my view
