psyker-class

[olive ember]

Shield would go well, but from what I've heard its really squishy

[long wharf]

and the Surge staff is now decent single-target damage

[olive ember]

I generate enough peril spamming voidstrike and assail imo which will be my go to weapons

[burnt slate]

Hmm felt like surge was doing much more than smite dang :S

[long wharf]

with Assail, you don't need weapons

[gilded viper]

Surge with assail has been rather pleasant

[true lake]

assail recharges quicker than i thought too

[ivory heath]

I haven’t actually played yet but what’s the consensus are ppl liking the changes?

[long wharf]

but yeah, I'd pair Surge staff with Assail for now

[gilded viper]

Not home yet but what assail

[gilded viper]

Knives

Very pretty crystals

[true lake]

funny crystals that home in on enemies and can do insane damage if empowered

[olive ember]

Voidstrike is my single target damage which pairs well with assail because assail hits heads, and hitting heads synergizes with the hit 5 heads to get guaranteed crit, which then means my voidstrike can one shot

[gilded viper]

Ah the super OP looking aim botter

[glossy hazel]

Holy fuck, this thing just oneshot a crusher with a crit.
Well, two shot but you get what I mean!

[olive ember]

surge staff is in this weird position where its just a worse voidstrike atm with a targeted CC, but nothing to write home about since it only hits 2 targets now whereas voidstrike explodes and knocks shit, suppresses shit, etc.

[noble trellis]

I could see a couple balance tweaks here and there
but overall really solid across the board

[lyric burrow]

void assail felt really strong yeah

void feels kinda busted though lol

[olive ember]

it can one shot

[true lake]

technically "two shot" because it hits twice

but it is one physical shot

[long wharf]

sadly, the Surge blessing is still lackluster

[zinc phoenix]

Papa palps supreme

[true lake]

what the hell do you mean lackluster

[olive ember]

Surge is good now wat?

[zinc phoenix]

Don’t underestimate the power of zap stick

[ivory heath]

As a surge main this breaks my heart

[gilded viper]

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[late yew]

Are meta lbesseings all still the same?

Warp nexus

[true lake]

surge blessing can literally blast the hell out of crushers like nothing

combine with warp nexus yes

[gilded viper]

I haven’t actually done anything with smite yet.
Might use it on gunker

[late yew]

warp flurry

[zinc phoenix]

Surge stick is clapping everything

[hybrid solstice]

surge deletes

[zinc phoenix]

👏 👏 👏 get karked crushers 👏 👏 👏

[frank moat]

How many bubble shields am I meant to have

[zinc phoenix]

⚡️

[zinc phoenix]

MUCH

[frank moat]

I’ve got like 3 up at a time

[olive ember]

Surge is good because it hits one shot breakpoints for crushers, it also synergizes because it counts as a projectile for the 5 headshots to get guaranteed crit

[gilded viper]

Surge is still amazing for single target. I combine it with assail and illisi and it’s really good

[olive ember]

so its a self feeding battery

[silver sphinx]

Alright, since I don't have surge, I'll have to settle with setting everything on fire with blaze

[hybrid solstice]

like killing ogryn in 2-3 zaps delete

[regal jasper]

As much as i liked the rail gunner voidstrike i much prefer having the walls

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve been the weird one doing surge + duel

[regal jasper]

Idk why but i really liked then

[glossy hazel]

PEOPLE LAUGHED AT ME FOR USING SURGE VOIDSTRIKE!
NOW WHO IS LAUGHING AHAHAHAHA
read this with loner psyker voice please

[long wharf]

the Surge blessing doesn't do a crit if the main hit does

[gilded viper]

Purge builds can get literally every perk and then some, so much fire.

[long wharf]

the second hit is a "normal" hit (which can be a weakspot hit)

[zinc phoenix]

I did a fire build and wow, 🥵

[hybrid solstice]

it factually was bad prior to the update so

[long wharf]

purge staff is noticeably stronger

[left hare]

How good is void strike for special killing now

[hybrid solstice]

nah it was still cool but

[silver sphinx]

trying to fit purge with all the crit

[hybrid solstice]

yeah im sad

but it's cool and usable now

[silver sphinx]

but getting purge with presince is a tax

[zinc phoenix]

Why would you go gunker when you could assail 🤔

The ice shards are basically unlimited

[gilded viper]

Hard to use peril generating weapons with an ability that passively increases peril

[olive ember]

btw @late yew I replaced battle meditation with malefic momentum

[hybrid solstice]

so is anyone using disrupt destiny? how am i supposed to tell what enemies are "marked"

[olive ember]

reasoning is that i have a duelling sword so if I use that thing to kill shit i get free damage on assail or voidstrike

[shrewd comet]

Red head

[olive ember]

to help hit breakpoints

[gilded viper]

The marked glows white

[steel flame]

They head glow

[hybrid solstice]

oh thats what that is lol

[olive ember]

it'll glow but it doesn't work in meat grinder

[zinc phoenix]

Oh the gunker F? I did try with assail holy hell did I boom fast 😂

[hybrid solstice]

i thought it was the shards targeting

[glossy hazel]

lol, even the m1 fucks now with surge

[left hare]

For assail what keystone do u take

[gilded viper]

Yah, lol. Lotta psykers blowing up today.

[zinc phoenix]

It do

[gilded viper]

I do empowered

[shrewd comet]

@glossy hazel what path do you go down for the surge staff? I find myself feeling overwhelmed looking at the tree lol

[abstract kestrel]

taking biolightning with lightning staff, the insanity increases

[steel flame]

They unintentionally uncapped how fast you can quell cancel the m1 and you can get the crit chance to 74% with scrier

[zinc phoenix]

People be slamming that friend request on me after seeing my papa palp routine 😂

[true lake]

empowered pairs best with it do to the insane damage it ends up getting

[zinc phoenix]

How are you charging the empower? Assail doesn’t seem to count for it?

[glossy hazel]

This is what I whipped up quickly, basically what I saw to boost crit and damage

[zinc phoenix]

We really need build codes

[silver sphinx]

BB or Assail with purge build? does it matter since I'm focusing on void staff?

[steel flame]

Fr

[true lake]

empowered psionics, all you have to do is set it to overpowering souls

and every elite kill is a guarantee to make your assail do insane damage

[zinc phoenix]

But why wasn’t the 12% chance triggering for me with assail?

[shrewd comet]

I appreciate that @glossy hazel ! Seems I was on the right track with it-ish. How do you like that build? (I'm at work, so I'm getting feedback before I make it home tn)

[olive ember]

do you guys go for 12.5?

I'd prefer the guranteed on elite kill

[true lake]

i go for elite kill guarantee because elites become very frequent

and you still have the 7.5%

[glossy hazel]

I've only tested in Psykhanum so far but it will be really potent I think, it bowling balls through everything, ragers, shotgunners, specials

[zinc phoenix]

Everything does tho

The new damage output is crazy

[olive ember]

imo do you really need that many toughness feats

I feel like some of the other nodes would be worth more

[left hare]

Whats the buff for void strike

[crude cape]

is void the meta now, its way overtuned right?

how is trauma? I saw in notes it was specifically nerfed against armored units which....feels kinda bad. Is it meh now?

[true lake]

surge blessing + warp nexus blessing = kill everything

[zinc phoenix]

Karking loads of damage

[left hare]

Goodbye surge

[zinc phoenix]

Surge got big boof too

It bops

[crude cape]

they NEED a "zoom out" feature so we can screen clip a build in 1 screenshot

[late yew]

that headshot talent does not seem to be working @olive ember

[true lake]

surge is pretty good for damage now, not as good of a CC anymore tho

[glossy hazel]

Can never hurt to have toughness regen considering you'll be lobbing meatballs 24/7 being basically immobile, I've yet to test it in actual gameplay so I'll fine tune what is needed and isn't

[olive ember]

which one?

[zinc phoenix]

The CC is killing shit dead

[left hare]

Oh wait i just realized i can just assail anyway

[olive ember]

disrupt destiny or the 5 shots

[left hare]

Lol

Assail guns and surge thicc bois

Mmmm

[graceful eagle]

trauma can kill cruser with 3 full charges

still good

[zinc phoenix]

Has anyone tried psykinetic wave with the flat 100+ damage?

[analog agate]

Just played my first hi int damn match. Game…. Is too easy now

[zinc phoenix]

Does it just shred?

[analog agate]

They buffed things too much haha

[left hare]

Looks like they have to release cataclysm

[true lake]

imagine needing 3 full charges when you can do it in just one or two

[zinc phoenix]

It’s pretty wild

[left hare]

[glossy hazel]

We really need a difficulty up even past Auric

[graceful eagle]

sure void is better

[neat summit]

looks like voidassail is the new hotness. How are we looking for soulblaze/purg builds?

[zinc phoenix]

They could reduce the numbers by 10% across the board for same effect

[graceful eagle]

bet they nerf it soon

[true lake]

not many people touched purgatus from what i heard but it seems to be alive and well still

[left hare]

Can i get a void assail build to try it out

[true lake]

you have to go towards the BB end of the tree tho

[zinc phoenix]

I think the plan for everything was to boost it all like mad and see what was truly broke vs merely very good

[long wharf]

the purge staff is good enough now that you really don't need a melee weapon

[olive ember]

all the staves are good except surge rn imo

surge needs like double damage

[zinc phoenix]

Surge is really good at just blapping stuff tho

[lyric burrow]

Surge still feels fine to me they just made void so insane

Like its just worse void

[crude cape]

you guys think void will get nerfed?

[long wharf]

yeah, Surge staff just can't do the damage Void can

[true lake]

maybe slightly but not sure

[lyric burrow]

It probably should

[left hare]

Do u need to full charge your void

[zinc phoenix]

I mean yeah 😂

[true lake]

void is only really good because we paired it with all these talents

[left hare]

Whats the build here

[olive ember]

Eh i think even if void didn't exist, the fact that it takes 3 shots to kill a mauler is kind amid

like I can take BB and two shot it

[zinc phoenix]

But then you can’t dome

D O M E

[olive ember]

but yeah I think surge should have double damage

let it atleast two shot mutants n stuff

[zinc phoenix]

Oh wait no bb is up against smite

[olive ember]

its already limited by the fact that it only does heavy damage to like 1 target (it chains to more but theres dropoff)

[true lake]

just make everything one shot

auric damn for everyone

[zinc phoenix]

Smite should really be a shoot and everything is zapped for Xs rather than a hold to stun entire map ability

[warm meteor]

Do knives count as ranged?

[abstract kestrel]

big fan of smite

[olive ember]

like look at how littel damage it does to second target

[true lake]

the knives are warp attacks, idk if they count as ranged

[zinc phoenix]

It’s kinda boring tho

[olive ember]

thats 4 charges to kill one crusher

90% peril

its like

rly not that good double the damage and I think surge will be decent

[abstract kestrel]

but infinite lightning is infinite lightning

[olive ember]

assuming voidstrike gets tuned down ofc

[warm meteor]

Do contracts to kill targets with ranged count my teams kills to it?

[true lake]

yes

[warm meteor]

Okie doke

[zinc phoenix]

I mean void is objectively better yes

But surge is cooler 😎

[olive ember]

but rn its just kinda mid, 3 charges to kill single mauler, 4 to kill a crusher, 4 for mutant

[abstract kestrel]

imagine caring about meta

[olive ember]

90% peril to kill one mutant

like bruh

[warm meteor]

I have been rocking a revolver. I have yet to fire it lol

[olive ember]

so yeah surge needs like double damage

[zinc phoenix]

Smite it

I’ve mostly been using surge as my sidearm for smite

[olive ember]

eh its just that for a single target damage staff

the damage it does is kinda mid

compared to what the trauma and purge can do to hordes

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah but I need peril to fuel other stuff

[olive ember]

and what the voidstrike is like rn

[zinc phoenix]

And I have no other sources of peril

[forest wedge]

I feel like smite needs a buff in damage

[olive ember]

just use a trauma staff

[abstract kestrel]

assail is pretty funny

[olive ember]

smite and surge both need a buff in damage imo

[zinc phoenix]

Dafuq

[abstract kestrel]

random bullshit, go!

[olive ember]

smite left click atleast

surge is just

it feels anemic

[zinc phoenix]

Empowered smite is 0 peril stunlocking entire map

Surge left click is also pretty good now

You can even hit stuff with it

[true lake]

yeah smite is insane CC

not good damage but insane CC

[olive ember]

Surge relies on crit as well for damage it seems, but unlike voidstrike you can't get headshots by yourself

well you can but not with staff I mean

[zinc phoenix]

I think probably the best smite combo is purg+force sword

[forest wedge]

I don’t think I have that even if I did the other psyker with floating knives just killed everything before I could use it

[zinc phoenix]

Because you can farm empower with purg

[ebon smelt]

Smite + dome is one hell of a support

[late yew]

Why would you take BB with surge? That makes 0 sense

[ebon smelt]

its what i am trying to do

[zinc phoenix]

Cope dome protecc

[olive ember]

surge probably feels better in an actual game tbh with knives

cuz knives hit heads

and then surge gets guaranteed crit

but

[forest wedge]

I love the dome

[lyric burrow]

yeah i run assail surge

[olive ember]

by itself the surge damage is pitiful

*for a single target staff

[ebon smelt]

It will get nerfed, i am stacking 3+ domes easily

[silver sphinx]

Haven't tried auric yet, should I just jump in with surge in domes?

[olive ember]

like 4 charges to kill a mutant

[zinc phoenix]

Does anyone use the two shields or are we all team dome?

[gilded viper]

I’ve been enjoying the staggering double walls myself

[lyric burrow]

im seeing if combustion is decent with it but i dont have super high expectations

[ebon smelt]

i am going to try it, but dome just seems so much better to use

[lyric burrow]

on kill is nice though

[forest wedge]

Dome grindset

[late yew]

Cruel Fortune does not work at all

[abstract kestrel]

dome

[ebon smelt]

And easier to deploy

[zinc phoenix]

You can carry a mediocre team with empowered surge with no effort

[smoky wigeon]

how the hell do i reduce myt % thingy I forget

[lyric burrow]

i havent tried the shields yet only dome

[ebon smelt]

Dome Supremacy

[olive ember]

you in meat grinder or actual game

[zinc phoenix]

Massive toughness regen and aoe shooter blocking is 🍌

[abstract kestrel]

crit assail is supper funny I've found

[gilded viper]

Staggers everything except monstrosities, is nice

[abstract kestrel]

you can oneshot most maniacs on damnation

[ornate hamlet]

Gamers, I am crit psyker gaming

[late yew]

Which one are those

[late yew]

Game

[ebon smelt]

Yeah the aoe shooting blocking is a game changer

[lyric burrow]

how are people stacking domes am i missing something

[smoky wigeon]

Can someone tell me how I reduce my peril or w.e its called

[zinc phoenix]

Seeing the little blue splashes just makes my day 😂

[true lake]

malefic momentum is the one that gives +4% warp damage for 8s after a non warp attack kill

[gilded viper]

There’s some ability cooldown stacking psyker can do

[lyric burrow]

like quell?

[smoky wigeon]

yeah how do I quell

[olive ember]

i gotta test it out when I get back home then

[lyric burrow]

R

[olive ember]

if it is bugged then thats gonna suck

[true lake]

hold R to quell on a force weapon or with your blitz equipped

[ebon smelt]

I just dont know what weaposn to use with smite+dome

[lyric burrow]

or with a staff

[shadow quail]

Void

[gilded viper]

I mean, can’t go wrong with illisi

[ebon smelt]

illisi?

[true lake]

staves are force weapons lol

[lyric burrow]

void is always gonna be a good answer rn

[glossy hazel]

Pebble throwing is petty funny actually

[lyric burrow]

and yeah illisi

[gilded viper]

Illisi force sword

[lyric burrow]

since void takes care of all single target anyway

[ebon smelt]

oh yeh

[shadow quail]

I've been rinning void, illisi, shield and smite

[zinc phoenix]

Purg + force works really well for me, but void is basically amazing rn

[shadow quail]

works really well

[frank moat]

[glass him]

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve also been dueling sword + surge for smitedomer

[ebon smelt]

never really fucked with void staffs, what should i look for?

[shadow quail]

It is so strong right now

[silver sphinx]

what was your build again?

[burnt tapir]

Was going over the patch notes, what does this mean exactly?

Primary Finesse Modifier:
From 120% to 150%.

[warm meteor]

So the targetted assail will guarentee hit your chosen target it seems, while the quick throws prioritize enemies in your crosshairs, so can change target mid flight.

Prioritizing headshots also means it does alot more damage then its numbers tell you! Cuz i cant hit headshots to save my life XD

[olive ember]

the current meta is surge + warp nexus

[past herald]

Greetings Siblings! I'm currently rolling with this and it's been serving me well, how is it?

[olive ember]

dunno if it will get nerfed tho cuz its pretty busted rn

[frank moat]

finesse is headshot multiplier I believe

[burnt tapir]

Also kinda weird Surge lost it's entire anti-armor theme

[warm meteor]

No longer bonus vs metal?

[gilded viper]

Finesse damage is headshots so 120% damage to 150%

[olive ember]

btw @late yew I just noticed the description that its "two additional stacks" so maybe its not 2 stacks per weakspot kill, but 3 stacks if you kill a marked target with a headshot

could you confirm?

[zinc phoenix]

I just went for smite and the empower teat + a weapon that could farm empower stacks so that I could perma smite. As long as you don’t let go of the button you’ll keep zapping. Rest is whatever, you have no peril gen and no damage from surge so 😂

[ebon smelt]

And smite the left click is the stagger and the right click is for more damage right?

[burnt tapir]

yea

does 80% vs carapace too

[true lake]

slaughterer is better

[zinc phoenix]

“More damage” in that it does 2dmg instead of 1 😂

[ebon smelt]

It is more

[wise pecan]

question: what exactly counts as a "warp attack kill"? I'm assuming your blitz abilities count. what about staves? soulblaze?

[burnt tapir]

Also, from Flamestaff, what does

Secondary Base Damage (0%, 80% Damage Stat):
1st Target: 8, 11.2 to 12, 21.6.
2nd Target: 10, 14.8 to 20, 36.
3rd Target: 12, 18.4 to 30, 54.
4th Target: 15, 27 to 40, 72.
5th Target: 17.5, 31.5 to 45, 81.
6th Target: 20, 36 to 50, 90.
7th Target: 40, 56 to 40, 56.
mean? It target the number of stacks? The numbers are so random

[true lake]

but executor isnt too bad if you are consistently hitting weak spots

[ebon smelt]

any staffs and blitz kills

[gilded viper]

Yes anything that isn’t like a gun, or melee

[thorn cedar]

Anything that uses peril is warp

[abstract kestrel]

the almost exclusively throwing knive lifestyle

[past herald]

I believe it is any abilities which generate peril

[stable leaf]

Also empowered swords

[zinc phoenix]

What’s weird about this patch is it feels like we’ve gone from weapons as primary to build abilities as primary for psyker

[wise pecan]

does lingering soulblaze count?

[stable leaf]

Yes

[gilded viper]

Yes soulblaze does

[stable leaf]

I think

[lyric burrow]

what perks are people running on surge? is crit chance best now since crits are so much damage

[wise pecan]

fantastic

[gilded viper]

Nexus flurry

[olive ember]

other way around, left click is supposed to be single target, right click is aoe

but yeah teh damage is anemic either way so

[lyric burrow]

with the exception of void i agree

[lyric burrow]

perks not blessings

[ebon smelt]

oh so i was using it wrong

[lyric burrow]

ive got nexus and flurry

wasnt sure if 5% was worth

[tall mango]

i’m not noticing much of a damage increase

[ebon smelt]

guess today is not my day

[gilded viper]

My aplogies, I like crit chance with like +damage of maybe maniac?

[tall mango]

so just..stick with right click

[lyric burrow]

from my testing it one shots most maniacs except mutants

[warm meteor]

What is base crit chance?

[lyric burrow]

forgot to test ragers

[late yew]

Oh, you can turn Vet into Kruber now

[ebon smelt]

yeah

[lyric burrow]

but unyielding and cara doesnt seem worth

[late yew]

WE ARE BLOODY UBERSREIK FIVE

[gilded viper]

Ol reliable kruber

[late yew]

OR FOUR

[lyric burrow]

i alreayd have flak

ill just test stuff

[silver sphinx]

DOESN'T MATTER

[tall mango]

LMAO

[gilded viper]

Bosses don’t take much damage, and crushers get stunlocked so hard it isn’t worth it

[tall mango]

there is no damage difference

[warm meteor]

I hope we get our 5th class soon :)

[tall mango]

It’s EXTREMELY minor

[shadow quail]

Doubt it after this big patch

[tall mango]

Literally never use the left click

[gilded viper]

Psykers boss damage still seems middling

Which is fine

[lyric burrow]

its good with BB

idk about the other stuff

assail seems mid for bosses

[raw oriole]

How does Assail fit into the rest of a build? What weapons and combat ability best compliment Assail's weaknesses?

[lyric burrow]

and surge is ok

[warm meteor]

Wdym? You think its too soon to ask for only 6 hrs after the biggest patch since release?

[tall mango]

yeah holy shit left click is useless

[lyric burrow]

i just find well rounded weapons to complement it well so purge/void

[gilded viper]

Take some single target with it, I like Surge, but void is popping off too

[olive ember]

Assail is medium elite clearing

[faint sigil]

It's all just so much fun, and there's so many options. I don't know when I'll ever play another class again

[tall mango]

literally never use it

[warm meteor]

Assail sucks vs the armoured head dudes. I pick stuff that kills those

[tall mango]

that’s awesome

[olive ember]

Decent horde clear but it access at being able to delete ragers gunners etc etc

[ebon smelt]

Until they release a skitarii or SoB

[olive ember]

If pair it with anti single target stuff

[faint sigil]

I'll believe it when I see it lol

[ornate hamlet]

So for Assail what's the point in right clicking? Just got the update

[tall mango]

why did they make surges left click do the nearly the same damage as the right click

that’s so fuckin dumb

[olive ember]

Sniper

[gilded viper]

Manual aiming so your bolt doesn’t get lost in the horde when aiming at a sniper

[olive ember]

You can lock into a specific target so you can use it for sniping enemies super far away

[wise pecan]

i'm going for a purgatus build, with bubble and brain burst. would y'all say that the crit chance aura is worth it? or would you recommend seer's presence instead, for faster bubble recharge?

[abstract kestrel]

the amount of shit we can make really makes me wish we can save certain loadouts

[ornate hamlet]

Does it do more damage? I honestly found it more useful to just chunk a bunch in their general location

[tall mango]

“high damage” my ASS dude

[abstract kestrel]

respecing's a pain

[burnt tapir]

Can't DoTs not crit?

[long wharf]

for my purge setup now, I took a point into BB and I have no intention of using it

[lyric burrow]

you can

[olive ember]

Nope

[ebon smelt]

I would say that seers presance is a must for bubble right now

[olive ember]

Most of the time you left click

[abstract kestrel]

englightenme

[olive ember]

But if there’s a sniper half a map away that’s when you can right click

[wise pecan]

last i saw, crits on purgatus applied double soulblaze stacks

[long wharf]

DoTs can't crit

[idle aurora]

Do we already have a new purgatus build?

[glossy hazel]

So what's the point of smite? It's like a budget surge staff that does jack shit

[warm meteor]

It doesnt delete them but assail two or 3 shots alot of enemy types, so when targetting a group of 3 it will kill them about as quickly as one shotting three seperately. Just pray for head shots XD

[long wharf]

Purge staff can crit, though

[wise pecan]

surge staff was respecced to be single target damage

[gilded viper]

It’s basically the old build but more, is nice

[olive ember]

It’s old surge staff that can CC like 15 enemies now

[runic hornet]

It's surge staff in your pocket for when you can't trust pubs to push bursters

[abstract kestrel]

it doesn't cost peril when empowered

it's funny like that

[lyric burrow]

in the top right of both the equipment screen and the talents tree theres a little plus symbol so you can make 5 different loadouts

[olive ember]

I mean you spam em and they pierce so it might as well be deleting em

[glossy hazel]

That's pretty lame

[lyric burrow]

@abstract kestrel

[abstract kestrel]

ah I didn't notice that

button too small

[late yew]

yes

[safe crystal]

I really like this patch

[tall mango]

surge straight up lies lmao

that’s cool

[safe crystal]

Voidstrike gang rise up

[tall mango]

pls fix

or not surge, smite

[long wharf]

man Purge staff is strong now

[ornate hamlet]

Did they nerf purgation staff? It feels like I'm hitting the enemies with a wet noodle currently

[late yew]

other classes also have plenty options now

[wise pecan]

as i recall, purg crits apply double DoT stacks, making crit builds optimal for purgatus, though that's based on info from not-this-update

[abstract kestrel]

well they did make enemies meatier

[shadow quail]

Smite can stun all day long

[glossy hazel]

So peak way to use smite is to get empowered smite charge then just spin around stunning everything while vaping

[gilded viper]

I know right soulflame builds in this patch are insane

[long wharf]

they must have tweaked with the that still seems to be the case

[abstract kestrel]

yes

[long wharf]

whoops

[burnt tapir]

wait is the patch already out? I thought it was in an hour

[tall mango]

smite is so fun

[long wharf]

yes, still the case that you want crit with Purge staff

[late yew]

Hold right click against horde and you will see

[warm meteor]

Yeah im loving the spam! I havent used my gun in the past 6 missions ive done.

Just need to figure out what best for assail spam build. So far i got empowered as my keystone and kinetic push as my ult, with lots of little nodes that help with quelling

[tall mango]

vid is still sending

[ornate hamlet]

What are people using for purgation?

[glossy hazel]

That's what I'm doing, baby damage and spinning to different targets kick up a vape cloud

[tall mango]

it does shit

[gilded viper]

Brain burst with shriek

[long wharf]

for Assail, I'm going Scrier+Empowered

[tall mango]

there we go

[lyric burrow]

so im guessing smite can abuse EP really hard

as does assail from what ive tested

[tall mango]

it’s the best CC available

[long wharf]

currently yes

[glossy hazel]

The no peril cost has got to be a bug

[long wharf]

it is

[tall mango]

stuns the entire horde

don’t fix the bug

please and thank you

i enjoy being palpatine

[long wharf]

the text for EP doesn't show peril generation negation for Smite

[olive ember]

I tried scrier with assail and it feels kinda

Too much peril

I’d prefer to run assail with just original push or with the shield

[long wharf]

you have to focus on peril management with SG

[lyric burrow]

yeah i thought it was intentional at first lol

[warm meteor]

Push feels good

[lyric burrow]

but nah its a bug

[tall mango]

let’s not bug report it

[olive ember]

I mean push is old reliable

[tall mango]

keep it a secret

[burnt tapir]

so do crits still doublestack Purg?

[warm meteor]

Yeah a get off me tool with 50 percent peril cleansing feels awesome for tough spots

[long wharf]

yes

[grave owl]

Is there a point to use the lightning staff now with the new lightning ability?

[tall mango]

Yes

you do actual damage with it

[olive ember]

Lightning staff is single target damage now

[grave owl]

Ah good to know

[tall mango]

Smite does actually fuck all damage

[long wharf]

it's not the best single target damage

[olive ember]

Still kinda mid imo

[shadow quail]

Prefer the void over the new surge tbh

[grave owl]

Appreciate it

[tall mango]

void is your single target damage now tho

[olive ember]

3 charges to kill a mauler 4 for mutant and crusher

With crits btw

4 for mutant with crits

[tall mango]

surge is still a good single target stun you can use in a BB/Shards build

[olive ember]

Without crits 5 charges probably

[hot epoch]

Imma need a build

[olive ember]

Imo double surge damage especially with how much peril it needs

[tall mango]

uno momento

[ebon inlet]

purgatus or voidstrike to pair with shooty needle missile?

[hot epoch]

wait did you post it in the builds channel?

[glossy hazel]

Hol' up, would this count multiple headshots from a single meatball?

[tall mango]

I haven’t yet

[hot epoch]

ah okay

[burnt tapir]

it's weird to me that surge is single target damage.

[tall mango]

I did post my funny knives guild

build*

doing 1k damage per headshot

[shadow quail]

You miss wildfire with needles

[tall mango]

can probably melt a boss

[olive ember]

Idr but it’s one of the reasons you take the surge blessing

[long wharf]

doesn't matter, if you play right, you never use anything but Assail

[crude cape]

what are you guys rocking for voidstrike?

[bronze seal]

its hard to tell if the crit chance skills on the right stacks with soulblaze's crit

[olive ember]

Nah voidstrike is better against carapace

[burnt tapir]

Am I missing something or did warp flurry get straight neutered?

Warp Flurry
Charge Time: -4 to -10% -> -5.5 to -8.5%
Stacks From 5 to 3.

[rugged compass]

Damn Assail doesn't even need a staff

[raw oriole]

What specifically do you mean by play it right?

[fresh reef]

Cool fact, the stun shield immediately triggers poxbursters to explode no matter how close they are to you. You can spawn trap them now and it's hilarious

[crude cape]

why aren't you building peril

[olive ember]

He’s exaggerating tbh, it’s not that good against carapace and only decent against hordes

[tall mango]

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[olive ember]

Tho the voidstrike right now conveniently solves all of assails problems

[shadow quail]

bug with empowered psionics

[hot epoch]

[long wharf]

no exaggeration - Assail with SG and EP

[ebon inlet]

good point. should i even care about my melee weapon then? i have some dueling sword on for the quick passive peril dumping but i wanna switch off

[olive ember]

Eh

[long wharf]

if you never hit 100% peril, you never drop SG

[hot epoch]

Thanks, biggest of psychic hugs

[fresh reef]

Smite with Psionics is bugged atm and gives 100% peril resist

[tall mango]

this ability right here

[crude cape]

oh woah lol

[silver sphinx]

elie kill empowered or just rely on random?

[digital narwhal]

Crit Build with Voidstrike and Assail is dumb

So dumb

[olive ember]

7.5% and if you kill 3 times per staff I think it’s decent but

[hot epoch]

i mean its a solid build otherwise so

[olive ember]

Eh

[tall mango]

oh for sure

[olive ember]

How is it compared to gun lugger

[tall mango]

the big weakness is being shot from behind-

[digital narwhal]

Gun Lugger's sheer DPS is unmatched.
But the sustain from Crit Shards n' Crit Voidstrike whilst still maintaining an absurd level of efficiency is just stupid.

[tall mango]

honestly popping shield and then holding right click with smite is super good

long as your team makes sure no one sneaks up on you, you can hold the horde indefinitely

[digital narwhal]

Dude, stopping Elites with the Shield is so clutch

[long wharf]

that's going 100% Psyker Support

[digital narwhal]

Muties fuckin' hate them

[tall mango]

Yes

I love psyker support

[long wharf]

how long does the shield even last?

[shadow quail]

But you can also destroy everything due to void

[tall mango]

think it’s 15 seconds?

[digital narwhal]

15 seconds base

Dome raises it to 20 seconds

[tall mango]

Yeah

[olive ember]

That’s assuming it doesn’t break tho

Isn’t it rly fragile

Like one gunner deletes it in like 7s

[long wharf]

and yeah - do you really need to stunlock a crowd when Purge does a good job of staggering things now?

[digital narwhal]

It's not really fragile, but it's not tanky

Sits in between imo

[long wharf]

Purge's damage makes it a superior option now

[tall mango]

yes?

you can’t one shot every dog in a dog horde, or every mutant

[glossy hazel]

I applaud Fatshart, this patch is what the game needed.
I still hate them for the gatcha loot system but now builds actually matter.

[tall mango]

etc

[long wharf]

I'm seeing Purge reliably stagger, and Purge has no cleave cap

[tall mango]

Purge cannot stunlock rapidly

[digital narwhal]

Also
140 Toughness n' 225 HP with 10% Toughness Damage Resist and absurd Toughness Regen feels so good.

Finally.

[spice oar]

oh nice

[tall mango]

has a limit

[digital narwhal]

Tank Psyker.

[crude cape]

anyone mind sharing an effective assail build?

[queen fog]

Many

[tall mango]

I already put mine in there

[spice oar]

need to make a warpflame build

[tall mango]

120 toughness, 220 health, 20% toughness damage reduction with shield regening toughness

[crude cape]

where

[olive ember]

#psyker-class message

[tall mango]

#1158835513789272126

[olive ember]

If you wanna test mine for me kekw

[digital narwhal]

Assail Dodge Tank

[crude cape]

is venting shriek the way to go with assail you think?

[digital narwhal]

Crits 24/7 with auto-dodge for 1 second on hitting a crit.

[tall mango]

scrier is so good with assail imo

[glossy hazel]

This isn't necessarily purely for Assail but you can switch Warp Siphon to Empowered Psionics.
This is for Surge Voidstrike to crank up damage and crit chance.

[tall mango]

can get insane damage

EP is way better for Assail then Warp imo

[digital narwhal]

Honestly, all 3 work

Just depends on what you want

[olive ember]

It’s a safety pick tbh, try out shields, pfhoenix rly likes scrier but imo it’s way too much peril

[digital narwhal]

I personally love the Special/Elite stunning Shield since Assail has no Stagger

[tall mango]

Scrier+EP with assail is your raw burst damage that’ll whip a horde

[digital narwhal]

So I use the Shield for safety

[olive ember]

But shriek is just old reliable

Aoe CC, peril vent, what’s not to love

[long wharf]

SG+EP = totally new way to play Psyker

[tall mango]

Yep

[long wharf]

and you get to pretend you're Yondu

[tall mango]

hey wait

I just realized

[long wharf]

Yondu Mary Poppins

[tall mango]

Smite + EP

[south canopy]

Someone post a cool and good Voidstrike so I can get an idea of what to put on it please

[tall mango]

what else does EP stand for?

Emperor Palpatine

it makes sense man

this is as intended

[olive ember]

#psyker-class message

[south canopy]

I meant the literal staff itself

[digital narwhal]

I love EP Assail with True Aim, Empathic Evasion, and Anticipation.
Along with Double Shield for Safety.

[tall mango]

EE is pretty good tbh

[digital narwhal]

Dodge Tank build is mega nutty.

[tall mango]

free dodges? yes please

[digital narwhal]

YEAH

[tall mango]

it’s even better with fucking voidstrike

[shadow quail]

im running this

[tall mango]

they can just never hit you

[crude cape]

rocking it with illisi?

[olive ember]

That’s old meta

New meta is the old meme build

Warp nexus + surge

[digital narwhal]

Yep

Illisi + Voidstrike

2 HP Curios and 1 Toughness Curio

[ornate hamlet]

I need surge on my voidstrike

[mystic nest]

does the psyker benefit from weapon stats while using psyker ability ?

[digital narwhal]

No

[olive ember]

Have you tried the mk 4 dueling sword

[digital narwhal]

You need the weapon out

[south canopy]

Sick, thanks!

[olive ember]

That things heavy stabs are beefier than the deimos

[digital narwhal]

Isn't it super shit?

[glossy hazel]

Get a Voidstrike like this for maximum fun

[shadow quail]

Surge effects the ball?

[crude cape]

how does surge interact now?

[digital narwhal]

Or am I thinking of the wrong DSword?

[spice veldt]

check the damage breakdown

[olive ember]

It got buffed and now you can one shot mutants with a heavy to the head

[spice veldt]

they buffed the duelling swords

[digital narwhal]

Ye
Doubles the damage essentially
And since it triggers on crit, it's massive burst damage

[olive ember]

Tho light spam just deleted mutants as well

[bold flint]

how do you deal the high damage on smite?

[whole oxide]

surge does the same as before, except massively more damage, and procs way more often

[digital narwhal]

Surge proc can 1 shot a Crusher iirc

[shadow quail]

Gonna have to get me a surge void then lol

[olive ember]

Exactly the same as before but now you get skills which guarantees crits

[crude cape]

ohh, dope.
what would you build them with? they used to be my fave before illi and deimos just took over meta lol

[olive ember]

Basically every 5 weakspot kills guarantees next strike is crit

[crude cape]

so it doesn't work on the RMB charge?

only the lmb normal fire?

[red wind]

cant run assail and wildfire this is so damn unfortunate

have to use brain burst...

[olive ember]

Surge always worked with voidstrike, you’re confusing it with trauma

[digital narwhal]

Honestly one of the best abilities we got.

[glossy hazel]

There is this and a plethora of crit chance boosting talent picks.
Voidstrike with a crit can oneshot crushers on damnation now since it was buffed.
That is, if you have Surge Blessing.

[olive ember]

And yes surge still doesn’t work with trauma

[shadow quail]

Yeah it sucks, it would be perfect together

[digital narwhal]

They should change that

They really should

I want a Surge Trauma

[crude cape]

ohh, never realized the actual RMB charge worked with it. Thought it was always just the LMB. I haven't used a voidstrike staff in 6+ months lol

[spice veldt]

melee weakspot hits can also build up True Aim stacks w/o consuming it

[olive ember]

Wait you can’t?

I thought you could

Or am I misremembering

[red wind]

no, assail is right tree & wildfire is left

if it was middle tree then it would be possible

[crude cape]

arco, my man. Whats your new melee build you rocking? Your builds i always like 😛
I used your old build for like months after you showed it to me

[rocky hedge]

all pskyers all crystals

[red wind]

alas, they put all the fire perks in the left

[spice veldt]

i'm currently copying crab's build

precog + uncanny ds IV + assail build

[rocky hedge]

link crab's build

[bold flint]

where is this

[tall mango]

lol

[crude cape]

has he posted it?

[tall mango]

glad others are figuring it out

[red wind]

damn

[spice veldt]

not sure

[tall mango]

you have 0 reason to ever use left click on smite

[spice veldt]

just pick Perilous Combustion, pick the crit feats, pick assail, and call it a day

[tall mango]

right click is better to use 100000% of the time for smite

[spice veldt]

abuse Perilous Combustion while it lasts

[red wind]

i almost wanna sacrifice this to get tier 4 barrage lol

[olive ember]

Perilous what?

Scriers gaze?

[spice veldt]

it's the talent below Soulstealer

[olive ember]

Uhh

[spice veldt]

from the starting node at the top to the left

[shadow quail]

right at top

[olive ember]

Someone screenshot I’m not at a pc rn

Pls and thx

[spice veldt]

it's wrack & ruin but without the two downsides (competing with warp unleashed and being tied to brain burst)

[red wind]

soulstealer is like... a little busted lol

[glossy hazel]

I just realised something, we'll get DLC characters not classes. Since variant classes are all baked into the skill tree now.
That's actually pretty neat.

[olive ember]

🤔

[spice veldt]

it's also behind warp absorption/soul stealer, so it's just 1 talent away if you're running a meta build

[olive ember]

Honestly I should try that out

Maybe I’ll use that instead of the other thing

The one which gives damage on non weapon kill

[crude cape]

ah, so you're using skrier + perilous, got it

i havent played a game yet

just got off work

still figuring this all out

[red wind]

what's warp absorption again

[olive ember]

Killing enemies with warp attack gives 15 toughness

15 or 15% now idr

[red wind]

oh right they just renamed it

[rocky hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-confused-math-gif-26401692

[olive ember]

@spice veldt how you feel about my build, I swapped battle meditation in the middle for the damage thing based on non warp kills

[shadow quail]

lol patch seems to be popular

[whole oxide]

honestly doesn't even feel that strong right now, 'cos everyone is deleting everything so fast

never gets time to cook

[olive ember]

#psyker-class message

[raw oriole]

Do weapon perks and blessings affect blitz? Do the "Increase Ranged Critcal Strike Chance by 5%" Perk and Warp Nexus Blessing increase my Assail critical chance?

[magic burrow]

the throwing shards are fun but seem a little random

[crude cape]

is this workable if i change 1 perk and add surge?

or not good

[still hearth]

If you have it out while the assail is in the air then yes

[soft mirage]

i havent played in forever, which staff is considered top tier atm?

[red wind]

purgatus because funny fire

[shadow quail]

Void just got a huge buff

[red wind]

voidstrike is really really good though

[raw oriole]

Ah, sounds like quite the tech. Screw that. lmao

[magic burrow]

what did they buff about voidstrike?

[crude cape]

lol not playing doesn't matter, you're aware of how big of a patch happened today right? everythings different. so you can sort of learn fresh with everyone else now
seems voidstrike is a bit overtuned, expect a nerf imo

[spice oar]

surge if you wanna single targe

[shadow quail]

everything

[digital narwhal]

I think Flak + Maniac is the way to go for Voidstrike.
You get nothing from Unarmoured, but Flak + Maniac ensures you 1 shot everything smaller than a Mutie.

[olive ember]

Idk man

5% crit

[digital narwhal]

Mutie takes 3 shots without Maniac, and 2 shots with it.

[spice oar]

trauma is actually cc king now ig

[olive ember]

Maybe swap flak for crit chance since idk what flak enemy voidstrike wouldn’t delete

[red wind]

did they change how surge staff works? it just randomly deals damage now or something

[lapis bay]

Trauma always was CC king

[digital narwhal]

Lemme test for ya, ye

[spice oar]

it just was not tho cause surge existed

[wise pecan]

yes. surge is now 1-2 target dps

[shadow quail]

everything

[red wind]

ah

[digital narwhal]

Voidstrike is a fucking Rail Gun now

It's Plasma Gun but better

[tall mango]

staffs still have use yeah?

friend thinks they’re redundant

[digital narwhal]

Nah, Staffs have clearly fallen out of the meta

They suck

fr

[olive ember]

Voidstrike is broken purge and trauma are strong only surge is weak rn

[shadow quail]

He is wrong

[digital narwhal]

But yeah, your friend is wrong

[spice oar]

our choice of staffs are, Aoe CC dmg, Railgun, Single target decimator and dot with purgatos

[rich basalt]

Does crit function for your blitz abilities? Has anyone tested this yet?

[tall mango]

yeah that’s what i told em

[knotty spire]

what are the gg perks on a voidstrike rn

and blessings

[still hearth]

Everything

[digital narwhal]

Testing currently

[tall mango]

anything with crits tbh

[olive ember]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1158866386244878427/image.png?ex=651dcded&is=651c7c6d&hm=d0d04e3870e8aae04e3f057d29464003c2796110de13878bb54b714610581ef0&

“Redundant”

[abstract kestrel]

i be using the blitz skill more than anything now

[round jay]

is this bug? I've been at 11/12 since the game came out almost

[tall mango]

crits go so hard

[shadow quail]

12 in a row

[olive ember]

I’ve gotten it but it’s been so long I can’t rly say

[rich basalt]

interesting.....Runs back to build craft

[olive ember]

If you too want to one shot crushers

Voidstrike with warp nexus 4 and Surge blessing

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1158866386244878427/image.png?ex=651dcded&is=651c7c6d&hm=d0d04e3870e8aae04e3f057d29464003c2796110de13878bb54b714610581ef0&

[digital narwhal]

You lose out on Flak Rager breakpoint

[olive ember]

And voila

[rich basalt]

yeah im seeing that wtf lol

[olive ember]

Herm

But I assail ragers tho

[digital narwhal]

and increases Mauler body shots from 2 shots to 3

[olive ember]

Do you bodyshot maulers with voidstrike tho

[rich basalt]

guess I need me a voidstrike staff. I ran a purgatus burn build, but I wana see if I cant make Smite crit because palpatine

[olive ember]

Smite damage is non existent

[digital narwhal]

I'm just mentioning what's affected

[knotty spire]

purgatus good

smite bad

[olive ember]

Surge damage is mid

[olive ember]

Ah yeah just wondering

[digital narwhal]

I might keep Maniac + Flak so I can one shot Ragers

Especially if there's multiple of them

[olive ember]

My voidstrike ain’t got that luxury but

G2k

[crude cape]

could blazing spirit actually be good on void possibly?

[olive ember]

Blazing spirit? Hmmm

[long wharf]

what the hell guys

[bronze flame]

Yo is the lightning supposed to be infinite with the psionic enhancement keystone?

[olive ember]

Maybe but the problem is horde clear isn’t the thing you build it for nowadays

[shadow quail]

bug

[olive ember]

It’s for the funny ogryn one shots

And blazing spirit is mid against em iirc

[long wharf]

EP isn't giving a stack on Specialist kill, only Elite kill for the node to the right

[bronze flame]

Thought so,it's so busted rn lol

[olive ember]

Uhh

[spice oar]

yeah just dosent mention it

[bronze flame]

But I'm gonna enjoy it since FS won't fix it for a month

[knotty spire]

can assail crit at all?

[shadow quail]

Is that confirmed?

[long wharf]

well, okay, Overpowering Souls says Elite, so nevermind my concern - but it does make it pointless to take

[crude cape]

ive heard others say its a bug

[spice oar]

also unpopular opinion but i dont really like the shards, like they clear stuff really well but im just not feeling them aswell as smite or BB

[long wharf]

I love Assail

[bronze flame]

I think it's a bug, but I'm gonna enjoy it by being like "unlimited powerrrrrrr"

[thorn kestrel]

I've tried Assail, I love it but it definitely isn't as consisitent as BB with my flame and Stab force sword loadout

Definitely requires a slower staff

Plus the fact that it isn't as good with carapace unlike BB

[shadow quail]

Assail would be great for purg but can't get wildfire unfortunatly

[bronze flame]

I think the new crystal things are cool, but overall mid

[olive ember]

What?

[digital narwhal]

Surge probably better but

[thorn kestrel]

Mid but really fun to use

[digital narwhal]

maybe

[steel flame]

oh they were very sneaky with their crit give you ranged immunity perk placement, they put it just out of reach for a Crit fire build

[thorn kestrel]

I love shooting that stuff out

[bronze flame]

Assail,they seem meh

[olive ember]

They aren’t mid .-.

[steel flame]

CURSE YOU FATSHARK

[spice oar]

its like a primary gun so i need to pair it a ranged weapon that does something else

[digital narwhal]

Blazing Spirit with Wrack and Ruin could be decent on Voidstrike

[shadow quail]

they delete specials

[spice oar]

Maybe surge?

[digital narwhal]

but Surge still better

[olive ember]

You literally throw 5 of em and tada elite pack is gone

[spice oar]

actually yeah ill try surge with the shards

and an axe

[olive ember]

He means surge blessing with voidstrike not surge staff

[spice oar]

or wait no combat knife to punch shit

[spice oar]

im just talking to myself

[olive ember]

Tho technically speaking surge staff should be feeling that niche but the damage is blehhh

[shadow quail]

The surge staff atm feels bit meh

[olive ember]

3 charges for mauler 4 for crusher and mutant and that’s WITH crits

90% peril to kill one tanky enemy

[shadow quail]

Then you have void one shotting everything

at range

[olive ember]

They need to double the surge damage

[thorn kestrel]

Imagine not using the flamer

[zinc phoenix]

Void needs to role switch from damage to cc tbh

[thorn kestrel]

couldn't be me

[olive ember]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1158866386244878427/image.png?ex=651dcded&is=651c7c6d&hm=d0d04e3870e8aae04e3f057d29464003c2796110de13878bb54b714610581ef0&

[spice oar]

hell no

[shadow quail]

No.

[spice oar]

its the railgun staff

[zinc phoenix]

Having it be a giant nuke railgun is dumb 😂

[spice oar]

trauma is the cc staff

[thorn kestrel]

Quell your peril, dear lord!

I feel stressed from the picture alone!

[digital narwhal]

Maniac + Flak, with Crit Chance as a decent 3rd option, is probably the go-to for Voidstrike overall now.

[long wharf]

that second smaller number is why I'd rather not have the Surge blessing

[proud hinge]

should i trash this or keep it

[thorn kestrel]

Keep it

Eat it

[digital narwhal]

Keep

100%

[thorn kestrel]

and then eat it again

[spice oar]

keep have fun

[olive ember]

Honestly I feel like they swapped voidstrike and surge damage

Voidstrike should need 3 full charges to kill a crusher (without surge) and voidstrike should be decimating em

[bronze flame]

Ogryn moment

[shadow quail]

I would have thought surge would do more, because or range

[spice oar]

eh we will figure out a build for surge staff tmrw

[zinc phoenix]

You might actually be right 😂

[thorn kestrel]

Psyker Ogryn moment

[crude cape]

10k plasteel.....i can't find surge on void

[thorn kestrel]

Too bad my psyker is short

[crude cape]

is it a lvl 3 only, right?

[zinc phoenix]

Shart syker

[thorn kestrel]

Psyker of the sharts

[proven stirrup]

Bruh, this lightning blitz slaps

[bronze flame]

Nurgle inspired psyker, just uses bio stuff to gross out and decay on spot

[proven stirrup]

Honestly they're all great

assail is cracked

[olive ember]

Only lvl 4

[thorn kestrel]

They throw dog poo bags at you

[proven stirrup]

Brain rupture is still the og point kill

Smite is just a total shutdown and debuff

[raw oriole]

me when patch #13

[long wharf]

oh man

[proven stirrup]

lmao

[long wharf]

at full SG stacks, you can't quell fast enough for your peril to go down

[languid tusk]

this blessing works in conjunction with assail scrier's gaze

basically permanent gaze in a horde

[long wharf]

that blessing shouldn't work, because you aren't using the weapon while using Assail

[languid tusk]

my mistake, I meant scrier's gaze

quietitude + warp expenditure + scrier's gaze + exorcist

funny combo

[proven stirrup]

Y'know I just realized I legitimately don't know what I want out of weapons anymore. I haven't played in a long time

[crude cape]

why is perilous combustion 'busted'? just bc it lost its BB condition?

[steel flame]

well fire trauma it stupid swold now, fire stacks from ult based on peril is straight upgrade, and quell changes has made fire rate more than double now

[olive ember]

It means it’s free soulblaze spread on any elite kill

And given how fast you can kill most elites with our current kit

Pretty decent

[steel flame]

soulblaze on elite kills is so much better

and its not capped

so the blaze stacks are getting insane

[viral solstice]

8 stacks kills a scab rager from full

so let us imagine that the ai director can now spawn packs of 10+ ragers

and there are hordes around...

[steel flame]

rip hordes

[viral solstice]

have any of u run into the gunner goon squad yet

[steel flame]

me

[tender osprey]

im trying vet out

[viral solstice]

[tender osprey]

vet seems really fucking good too

[covert stump]

I think smite got the assail peril bonus - you can cast it forever at no cost

[tender osprey]

the nade enhancement and uptimes seem appealing

[steel flame]

but i had my crit surge build so they couldnt actually shoot me cause i was immune to range damage from all the crits

[viral solstice]

surge staff uses the smite upgrades on tree btw

just fyi

[steel flame]

i noticed

[viral solstice]

[olive ember]

@viral solstice pls rate build #psyker-class message

[long wharf]

prove it

[olive ember]

I did swap battle meditation for that perk which gives warp damage on non warp kill

[ornate hamlet]

krak grenade is 🐐

[spice oar]

rlly?

[viral solstice]

take perilous combustion

[covert stump]

I am guessing smite costing no peril is a bug

[spice oar]

apparently no

[olive ember]

Ngl thought that was a donkey without looking closely and was wondering what you were smoking

[shadow quail]

Confirmed?

[olive ember]

Is it worth over warp damage on non warp kill

[covert stump]

neat, they should add that to the description then

[spice oar]

idk i just heard

[viral solstice]

are u capable of putting 2 points into a tree and using a staff

[viral solstice]

yes

[tired estuary]

I'm so glad psyker got another surge so they can surge badly in place of surging badly

[viral solstice]

it's the most broken single node in the game

[olive ember]

No

Bad

You can’t say that

[viral solstice]

[lofty escarp]

I think melks voice lines are borked

[olive ember]

Don’t let the fun police nerf my stuff

[covert stump]

Was soulblaze buffed?

[olive ember]

No just that the particular skill lets you apply 4 stacks to everything around an elite kill

So when the game spams elite packs at you

Tada everything dies short of carapace

[lethal folio]

Wrack&ruin but for everything you kill

[rugged compass]

Speedy Mind Bursts are fun

[long wharf]

... so it does look like the Smite nodes affect the Surge staff

but the third target node for the Surge staff leads to... minimal damage

well, not minimal

25~30% maybe?

looks like you get 100% on first target, 50% on second, then 25~30% on the third

[void mural]

What exactly does finesse damage do? For example from precognition

[lethal folio]

Finesse = criticals & weakspots

[void mural]

ah, increase crit & weakspot damage?

[lethal folio]

no

[viral solstice]

doesn't affect attack speed

finesse as a weapon stat is more a vibe... an idea.. not a mechanic

[lethal folio]

Bars are the devil trying to mislead you.

[elder kelp]

Does anyone understands how Smite works ? If you look at the enemy and cast, it does cost peril, if you look away, cast and then turn, then it wont lol is thats how it supposed to work ?

[low charm]

Huh, for real? It's only crit?

[viral solstice]

its crit, weakspot, and crit weakspot damage

but no attack speed

[long wharf]

you likely had a stack of Empowered Psionics

I just tested, and you do gain peril if no target to Smite

[elder kelp]

i see

[gilded viper]

WAIT A FUCKING MIN WHEN THEY DO THIS

[lethal folio]

months ago

[gilded viper]

have it been this long since i play the game

[abstract kestrel]

for quite a while yea

[low charm]

Can anyone tell me, if I'm using Scrier's Gaze, will I still be able to quell the peril?

[gilded viper]

now my broke as Vet character won't be on the welfare bus anymore

[abstract kestrel]

yes

but be careful you will blow up if you get too complacent

[north solstice]

whats your guys' opinion on the telekine(?) shield?

[abstract kestrel]

so once you reach like 25 stacks you seriously got to watch out

[echo cosmos]

Yes

[echo cosmos]

Really good

[snow coral]

I asked earlier and don't know if it was answered but I didn't get a ping. No more warp charges on any kill, just on specialists/elites and if it procs on an ally kill?

And no perk to get two charges for the price of one?

[ebon smelt]

i had my fun helping the team, but now its time for me to go v2 shade mode and try to make full crit assail build

I will not be a funcionin member of the fire team and will die a lot

[echo cosmos]

Thammer. I am pretty certain a max thrust charged thammer can kill a crusher in one hit

[ebon smelt]

but thammer is not darts

and darts are fun

[olive ember]

btw @viral solstice what are the meta blessings on dueling sword now

[abstract kestrel]

throwing toothpicks at snipers has never been more fun

[viral solstice]

uncanny and whatever u want

uncanny rampage, uncanny shred, etc

riposte and precog are both actually good

riposte is 6s of 20 crit, precog is 60% finesse

[north solstice]

do you personally prefer the 2 shields or the dome?

[echo cosmos]

Both have merits

[north solstice]

im thinking the dome might be more useful tbh

[olive ember]

I would use two shields the ability to stun specials seems rly useful

dome is more of a turtle option

[north solstice]

more applicable in more situations

[echo cosmos]

Shields fucking with muties will never not be hilarious

[north solstice]

does sound fun

[echo cosmos]

But dome provides nice toughness buffs

[ionic needle]

Is wildfire worth taking? with purgatus that is

[echo cosmos]

Dome is less flexible, but more buffs, shields are more flexible, but weaker overall

[echo cosmos]

Probably

[north solstice]

why are warp charges so hard to get now

what the frick :(

[elder kelp]

Im testing it right now, it works as you say. But that must be not intended.. its crazy lol

[ionic needle]

you only get them on elite kills and procs, not from BB

[echo cosmos]

They aren't? Just kill elites and specialists

[north solstice]

oh god
