psyker-class

[echo cosmos]

That's easier, if anything

[north solstice]

im just use to bbing

[olive ember]

wat about perks @viral solstice

[void mural]

Yeah, seems easier, but I don't get why they didn't add a way to make BB give charges

[echo cosmos]

On the plus side, BB is stupidly strong now

[north solstice]

yeah these seem easier since bb is buffed

i overreacted it seems

[echo cosmos]

You can get instant brainbursts

[void mural]

heck, why not give us a talent to make all blitz abilities give warp charges on kill

[snow coral]

Ok so not just me. I miss being able to get warps off trash BB kills

[echo cosmos]

Because knives

[void mural]

are they that op at killing things?

[echo cosmos]

Knives would be way too strong if that existed

Yes

Point at horde
Horde dies
Mfw

[viral solstice]

I just take whatever, carapace is sick because u can edge the crusher one shot with scrier up and some stacks

10% elites 25% carapace would get u it reasonably consistently

[echo cosmos]

Psyker has stupid amounts of regen tbh

Of toughness regen

You get toughness from gaining and quelling peril

[spice oar]

cough cough scriers gaze cough cough

[viral solstice]

15% toughness on warp kill...

not very balanced

[abstract kestrel]

shush

[viral solstice]

[echo cosmos]

I am using smite, so the only time I am not gaining peril is when I have EP charges

[echo cosmos]

One thing I love

All new added stuff directly scales in power with difficulty.

Because they get stronger when there is more stuff to kill

And more stuff to kill you

And tougher stuff to kill

[tall kayak]

Ok so i used to play veteran but psyker looks fun now. Any tips?

[paper harbor]

seeing lot of dmg in talents description make me wondering is the base damage that low?

[echo cosmos]

Nope

[paper harbor]

just go what your idea of fun

[echo cosmos]

Well depends

[paper harbor]

i run psyker zealot

funny

[echo cosmos]

Smite has low damage, but everything is stunned to oblivion

[paper harbor]

i need better cleave sword

[echo cosmos]

So the lower damage doesn't matter

[viscid matrix]

Illisi

[paper harbor]

had on it

[tall kayak]

Fuck all aoe's or high dmg

[echo cosmos]

(dueling sword 4 is great for single target)

[paper harbor]

trauma critty

[snow coral]

alright, gonna try a knife dome void build

[plucky flax]

Xd

[north solstice]

they buffed surge right?

[paper harbor]

i go cc sword just need light attack cc, i know devil sword has horizon sweep

[north solstice]

made it actually deal damage now?

[tall kayak]

Veteran just seems kinda blamd i can can live without the bolt gun

[echo cosmos]

Ye surge hurts more but spreads less

[paper harbor]

they removed Sustain Fire

can't make my vet go rambo anymore

[echo cosmos]

Vet in the new update is basically Kruber but with full auto weapons

[snow coral]

I thought I saw a vet perk that kept the ult going on kills?

[plucky flax]

No ears rape

[paper harbor]

i get the shout push enemy

[bold flint]

didnt kruber have a full auto gun

[echo cosmos]

Two of Vets things are directed taken drom Kruber

[lethal plover]

good patch. not sure about meta balance but the new stuff is fun

[echo cosmos]

Vet has more

[paper harbor]

how you light them on fire?

[void mural]

so, is smite just the new surge staff? It doesn't seem to do significant damage, just stuns?

[bold flint]

yeah bit you didnt say that now did you

[paper harbor]

is like you are the soul blaze itself

[echo cosmos]

Yes, but you need to charge it

[plucky flax]

It's a talent. To the left of the tree. Killing elite/special make soulblaze.

[paper harbor]

oh

well bad thing the mob is blocking you

[echo cosmos]

I never played Kruber much so I don't know all of Krubers weaponry

[lethal plover]

yeah surge staff is now just 2-target DPS, while the CC part is now a separate blitz. It's an interesting way to balance the surge staff

[paper harbor]

and you have any talents that does more damage on soulblaze target or just non

[void mural]

yeah, kinda weird, but ok...

[tall kayak]

Ok so.... how do i play psyker?

[paper harbor]

wanna go Palpatine?

[void mural]

I never liked surge, so I guess I can just ignore smite

[lethal plover]

the flying knives basically now lets psykers murder medium-range shooters and elites / specials

[gilded viper]

ah yes, pyskinetic wrath

[plucky flax]

Hrm no it's just added more stacks. My build is around soulblaze. So it spreads damage to a lot of nearby enemies.

[lethal plover]

the answer to people who thought brain burst was too slow

[tall kayak]

Sounds kinda fun. Can i switch skill points at any time or is it set in stone

[paper harbor]

throwing shard pysker remind me valorant some of legend has throwing cards

[lethal plover]

respec at any point

[paper harbor]

is just activate and deactivate

but must be in order

[tall kayak]

Ok

[paper harbor]

you can't deactivate one note from beginning without reverse all way down

[lethal plover]

the only real annoyance is that the knives may not hit the right target at the right time, so long range combat is rough

brain burst is still king at long-range anti-sniper

[tall kayak]

Thats fine

[paper harbor]

is similar to Kerillian SOT

her staff does it

[lethal plover]

but knives now murder bombers and trappers and flamers which is great

[paper harbor]

throwing knife fun fun

now imagine strap a bomb on the knife

[tall kayak]

Hehe, reminds me of my hinter build in d2

[paper harbor]

it does

sound fun

[crude cape]

Ok, assail is completely insane.
but i am finding it easy to blow myself up since im not using vent.

heres my worry, they're very cool and fun but...besides peril management seem sort of OP and mindless, how can they balance this? you can kill like 10 specialists super quick without really even targeting

[paper harbor]

explosive knife

shrieking vent is savior

[tall kayak]

Explosive knife infinite throws is so much fun for lower level missions

[sterile saddle]

digging this new crystal shard thing

[lethal plover]

the balance is that you become kinda bad at long range combat but are a murder machine at medium range

[paper harbor]

i always never let go the psykinetic wrath just too useful on accident over peril

[glad sandal]

hi there

[thorn tapir]

Well, the dome is the final piece in my gunpsyker puzzle. Im officially invincible, ill now be playing the same build for another 500 hours.

Having 4 domes up at the same time is honestly hilarious.

[lethal plover]

yeah the shield is too good not to pick

[paper harbor]

having very fast toughness regeneration

[snow coral]

yo not being able to ult at 100 to quell sucks

[lethal plover]

it is too clutch. we have always been weak against ranged specials during a horde

[thorn tapir]

^

[glad sandal]

is there any build running around ? I can't find a way to fit the purgatus with the new tree tbh

[thorn tapir]

Now we actually have a counter to the ONE SHOOTER IN THE BACK OF A MIXED HORDE

[paper harbor]

except the Shriek venting

[glad sandal]

and I'm not ready to get rid of my magic flamethrower

[lethal plover]

bruh it's the first day of patch just pick what's fun

[thorn tapir]

stick to left side of tree and pick all the soulblaze talents.

[paper harbor]

you can come up ideal on magic flamethrower on your own for fun

[thorn tapir]

you want soulblaze, cdr and warp charges to pump your soulblaze damage

[paper harbor]

i run crit flamethrower like TF2 pyro Phlog.

https://tenor.com/view/da-t-dragon-show-pathfinder-rpg-dragons-and-things-max-damage-maximum-damage-gif-14802579

[lethal plover]

knives and shield basically gives the anti-gunner psyker

[paper harbor]

the deflector blessing i thing come handy

[glad sandal]

I find that these new abilities just render the other weapons kinda useless in the way

that

[paper harbor]

i had dodge on ranged on crit hit

[lethal plover]

yeah they are too fun not to use. though I suspect the meta will be balanced a bit anyway

[glad sandal]

I tried the assail thinggy and boy it is hard to switch to another weapon/ability

[plucky flax]

Yeah just make your own shit up. Don't ask for build on the first day.

[glad sandal]

it's just way too fun

[void mural]

does anyone know if it's intended for burst fire weapon crits to function differently for different on crit talents?

mettle procs 3 times with a 3 burst fire crit, but perfect timing only procs once

[echo cosmos]

Dueling sword is really fun

[glad sandal]

I'm trying to have fun by not being blown up in damnation btw, I don't have 1000+ hours, can only play afterwork and I'm defo not smart enough to come up with a viable build on my own

[echo cosmos]

Worlds deadliest face poke

[paper harbor]

i means this is zealot psyker build.

[shadow wigeon]

Unlimited tickle fingers? im assumin this is a bug...

[lethal plover]

I have been off for like, 8 months. I don't know what the melee weapon meta is now. Is the mk 5 axe still the best

still feels great to use

[hybrid solstice]

antax is still good

[plucky flax]

Illisi force sword best psyker melee.

[paper harbor]

meta is no longer there, just fun build on class overhaul

[late yew]

sooo how do you deal with bosses now with no BB?

[lethal plover]

you don't

[proven raven]

^

[gilded viper]

use BB

[lethal folio]

Duelling sword them.

[olive ember]

vraks 3, dueling sword, BB

[hybrid solstice]

surge and voidstrike

[late yew]

well deimos does work well btw

[lethal plover]

your job is to kil the specials and gunners and elites for your team

[olive ember]

psyker doesn't have particularly good boss damage

but

[shadow wigeon]

Infinite lightnigng hands is a bug.... right?

[hybrid solstice]

Alternatively you can still take BB

[olive ember]

the idea is your team should be deleting the boss

[plucky flax]

Ask vet to throw krak nades.

[late yew]

that's vet's job too

[paper harbor]

yup, boss is team killing

is need lot of effort do lot damage

[lethal plover]

we are now better because we can throw knives into the general direction of surging flame

and kill board goes brrr

[late yew]

smite is more fun to use though

especially when bodies start exploding one after another

not sure what better to combine it with

[paper harbor]

i seen zealot one ability hold out like exorcist cross and i wonder when theres mod replace for Uno reverse cards skin.

[late yew]

Void? Surge?

[soft mirage]

whats the difference between all the force swords?

[late yew]

Illi is anti-horde

[gilded viper]

@olive ember this is the best update ever

[late yew]

Can deal somewhat with elites to

[paper harbor]

which im using rn

just bad cleave

[late yew]

its special gives you more damage and lots of cleave

[glad sandal]

what do you think about this ilisi ?

[late yew]

Deimos is single-target sword

[paper harbor]

like it stick on flake enemy

[lethal plover]

this feels like the darktide that should have been at launch

[late yew]

Its special allows you to quickly kill any elite

And obscurus is the middle ground between 2

[lyric burrow]

am i crazy or did they remove warp unleashed before releasing the patch

i thought we saw it before

[soft mirage]

whats the ilisi

[paper harbor]

it replaced Shriek Venting

[void mural]

illisi is horde clear, deimos is weakpoint god weapon, obscurus is meh

[smoky badge]

It's crazy how much better assail is than smite.

[late yew]

eh

smite is good against hordes

[spice veldt]

warp rider

[spice veldt]

assail is also good against hordes

[void mural]

I kinda feel like smite generates too much peril per second?

[late yew]

not really

[smoky badge]

Assail is way better at hordes lol

[paper harbor]

oh that thing

[late yew]

It is not bad

but not good either

[paper harbor]

it feel like got nerfed

[smoky badge]

100%

[paper harbor]

scrier gaze look to me like Bardin Slayer ability.

[harsh urchin]

@spice veldt Unstable Power

Power Bonus From 2-5% to 14-20%.

this is just a text change right

it's basically still the same?

[spice veldt]

ye

[lyric burrow]

not counting the bug for smite yeah assail is prob better

[spice veldt]

the lower bound was changed but basically the same

[glad sandal]

yes smite is weirdly bugged

[plucky flax]

Slaughterer still op keep using it.

[glad sandal]

maybe it clashes with the ability to reduce peril with charges or whatever ?

the purple one

[harsh urchin]

hmm

infernus giga buffed

[paper harbor]

shit i can't even kill elite and trash mob same time with illinis

[harsh urchin]

need to try it out

[ebon smelt]

Can soulblaze crit?

[plucky flax]

Deflector buff.

[timber breach]

Yo why am I one shooting crushers with voidstrike on damnation???

[lethal folio]

dots cannot crit.

[paper harbor]

30% baby!

[lethal plover]

oneshotting crushers?

is that real

[glad sandal]

charge the sword, works for me

[gilded viper]

im dumb what the different between these two

[plucky flax]

Enjoy your voidstrike for one day tomorrow its nerf.

[orchid nest]

yeah

[paper harbor]

before patch i still shoot crushers with voidstrike with kinetic flayer, just thunder ball

[lethal plover]

did they insanely buff voidstrike?

oh kinetic flayer

[glad sandal]

damn the new patch is actually making me want to play zealot again

[paper harbor]

yeah thing is timing and when im in a hall with 5 dreg gunner and some other trash mob

[ebon smelt]

what is the force sword for horde clear?

[paper harbor]

they distanced

[glad sandal]

Ilisi

[ebon smelt]

thank you

[paper harbor]

illinis

[lethal plover]

I haven't learned what happened to zealots yet. they now can give yellow toughness ?

[orchid nest]

yeah the surge/crit build for it is deadly with the synergy in the tree and the huge buffs they gave it. including going straight through bulwark shields

[glad sandal]

they can heal around them I think

[paper harbor]

it means overcharge the toughness

[glad sandal]

zealots, I mean

[old oyster]

want to pray for a Emperor?

[spice veldt]

yellow toughness also protects against things that would otherwise directly hurt your hp

snipers, bursters, etc.

[glad sandal]

I'm willing to let my sins as a psyker go yes

[paper harbor]

sound like armor to me

or energy shield

[lethal plover]

what do you mean by heal

[glad sandal]

to embrace HIM in his throne on Terra

[lethal plover]

like healing kits?

[paper harbor]

BLOOD FOR EMPEROR SKULL FOR GOLDEN THRONE

[void mural]

oh, it kinda shield gates your hp if you have any gold?

[shadow quail]

they can heal corruption now

[paper harbor]

even vet has that feat

[glad sandal]

I can't remember but I think they give health back to allies in a radius (there's a condition tho like killing ennemies or something like that)

or heal corruption yes

[lyric burrow]

yeah im just blind lol

[glad sandal]

I suck I memorizing theorical stuff

[paper harbor]

vet one talent note using medpack heal corruption and healing faster

[shadow quail]

zealots just do it 24/7

[ebon smelt]

i have deflector 4, i switch it with blazing spirit i assume?

[snow coral]

man being able to quell on ult was such a crutch

[old oyster]

good , but i still running with old charge skill but fire grenades with a flamer its a something good combo wombo

[paper harbor]

i also hate complexity stuff to memorize not get into deep the game knowledge

[snow coral]

I think I just blew myself up 10 times

[late yew]

Did dueling sword got buffed?

[lyric burrow]

yes swap blazing

[ebon smelt]

YEAH, i am killing myself a lot now

[snow coral]

Like I want to try dome but I don't know if I can, lol'

[paper harbor]

happen to me when i activate Scrier Gaze when at the end i accident charge the powersword

[ebon smelt]

Dome is pretty fun

[shadow wigeon]

I assuming the bug with Smite + Empowered is somethign like - it got the 100% cost reduction that assail is supposd to get

[glad sandal]

Yeah I both admire and consider weird people that will spend 15h in the "arena mode" to see what's good and what is not

[lethal plover]

dome is way too good at protecting your allies when gunners are staring at them behind a horde

[shadow quail]

looks like it]

[lethal plover]

just be more mindful of peril

[snow coral]

what's the difference between left and right on Assail, right lets you target the first hit?

[orchid nest]

honestly assail is so comfy to camp on for everything except ogryns that I wouldn't mind taking whatever in my ranged slot even if they sledgehammer voidstrike

[paper harbor]

i spent some hour just to see how it work, learning the new ability.

[lyric burrow]

at first i didnt like dome but ive really come around to iut

[lethal plover]

right is much slower but better at longer range

[snow coral]

I ran a high peril build before, was always floating around 80-90 because I could ult out, gotta unlearn that as I play around

[snow coral]

gotcha, thanks

[lethal folio]

Right click has slightly more projecilt e lifetime and a bit more foccussed direction on what you aim at.

[glad sandal]

then I both admire and despise you, you're welcme

[crude cape]

i wish my scoreboard mod was working that match.
I blew myself up 4 times. ngl. Using all this force stuff and no saftey got me a few times, but i got used to it by the end.
but holy shit, there were times where assail popped off and the entire screen lit up with my name with special kills lol. its so nutty (damnation high stg)

[lethal plover]

yeah especially because we can take, like, what 4 perks to manage peril now in the same build.

[glad sandal]

you're the better person than I am, I can't wait to see what build people like you will come out with

[paper harbor]

time to bombard the Tertium with voidstrike

[paper harbor]

all my build are before the patch, it deleted loadout then i remake just some different build on same old build

[glad sandal]

fun fact, (possible skill issue I know) but when I see a psyker with assail, he just fucks up the killboard, but when I do, I barely make a dent

[paper harbor]

since my weapon are made can't change stats much

[glad sandal]

yeah I spent like 500k credits or whatever to try and drop a perfect purgatus staff

[snow scaffold]

So is shock staff meta now

[ebon smelt]

the perfect purgatus is the one you have brother

[glad sandal]

And I got this puppy

[orchid nest]

purg is pretty good feeling for roasting packs of elites with the increased normal damage

[dawn wolf]

Play with it on psykanium(?) real quick and you'll figure out what you can kill and how you can move it pretty quickly

[lethal plover]

I main trauma now. It can deal with horde AND attack bulwark through their shields

[glad sandal]

so assail's missiles are homing missiles right ? I just throw them and they do their shit am i correct ?

[orchid nest]

void can attack bulwarks through their shield now too for what it's worth

[north solstice]

My beloved surge is a powerhouse now

[autumn smelt]

If you can manage your peril, yeah

[north solstice]

im happy

[glad sandal]

yeah but voidstaff is a BORE ! THERE ! I SAID IT

[echo cosmos]

So use a different staff

[autumn smelt]

Look away for 1 sec and you're already exploding with the surge

[glad sandal]

I'm a purgatus chad main

[willow escarp]

How noticeable is the buff to Trauma?

[lapis bay]

Voidstaff boring af lmao

[echo cosmos]

Trauma is fun to use

[dawn wolf]

They follow your cursor, so you can move them around a little, or behind something

[north solstice]

only boring if you dont use the machine gun glitch

[glad sandal]

oh shit didn't know that, thx

[north solstice]

they still havent fixed that

[glad sandal]

didn't know that either wtf

[north solstice]

kinda wish they dont tbh

[orchid nest]

you don't even need to do it anymore it's like built in now

[dawn wolf]

But it's more a question of armor types from the little I played with it.

[glad sandal]

I was just throwing my assail around hoping they would find their target on their own

[orchid nest]

yeah this is probably why it seemed weak to you, you gotta actively track their heads and take associated crit stuff and all that in the talents

[glad sandal]

oh well

[dawn wolf]

More like holding a laser on the target while it does it's thing.

[glad sandal]

back to it then

my poor purgatus is going to feel jealous, I barely touch it anymore

[snow scaffold]

I'm guessing void staff is still the worse one to use

[glad sandal]

and it's because muscle memory kicks in when I switch

[orchid nest]

quite the opposite, it'll probably shortly get nerfed here

[snow scaffold]

Hmmm

[lucid horizon]

man the spikes are too op

[glad sandal]

btw

between the three purple abilities

what's your fav ?

[orchid nest]

for what, assail?

[glad sandal]

I have a feeling that empowered psionics is broken but I don't know why

yeah

[orchid nest]

empowered and destiny are both really great for it. I am using empowered atm

[forest meadow]

Unlimited lightning is going to get nerfed

[orchid nest]

empowered if you want to camp on assail more basically and destiny if you want to use your ranged slot very actively at the same time

[untold vault]

I feel like psyker is going to get nerfed in general.

[glad sandal]

and what about the red ones ?

[languid tusk]

psyker feels like an overperformer right now

[untold vault]

It's too good

[languid tusk]

but honestlyt let us enjoy it lol dont nerf immediatly

[proud hinge]

are there any published guides out there

[orchid nest]

initially I felt like that too but honestly everyone is a bit crazy atm after playing some missions

[snow scaffold]

You think it's meta over Ogryn?

[untold vault]

Telekinetic Shield regens so much toughness it's unreal.

[glad sandal]

crit chances seem fine but I feel like I need that venting shriek : is too much of a lifesaver

[vivid silo]

wait a min

[untold vault]

Trivializes the hardest non elite enemies too

[autumn smelt]

empowered psyonics is great and all
but the fact that the elite kill node doesnt include specialist just feels like we're being robbed a charge

[vivid silo]

who do i sale my weapons i dont want too

[untold vault]

Snipers are also no longer an issue

Empowered Psionics makes assail op and spammable

[languid tusk]

if you take the other talent you can even use it to stop mutants in mutant wave maelstrom

[untold vault]

Yeah lmao

It STUNS

[vivid silo]

did they change who you sale your weapn back too

[orchid nest]

I like the double shield for special waves but venting shriek is also really good with creeping flames. I hear people like dome too but I like being able to stop mutants and dogs and all that. it helps keep pressure off a lot during shock troop gauntlet waves

[untold vault]

Veteran has been the weakest coming out of these changes

[autumn smelt]

Do you not sell for dockets in the inventory screen anymore

[snow scaffold]

Good, nothing more boring than playing with 3 good vet players

[glad sandal]

but then I need to swap the yellow crit chance for the kinetic presence or seer presence

[vivid silo]

oooo maybe

i honestly couldnt remember

[untold vault]

There is no use for veterans anymore either, a single psyker trivializes most ranged enemies

[languid tusk]

vet was too busted before the changes, there was no way to make it feel more powerful than that

[dawn wolf]

"Is that a glowing head?"

[snow scaffold]

Lol

[orchid nest]

yeah that is the downside, you have to path through seer's presence because empathic evasion is too good with assail to not have

[untold vault]

At least Vet got the krak grenade so you can oneshot crushers like a zealot

[glad sandal]

thx mate

you're a lifesaver

[autumn smelt]

When they fix it

[untold vault]

Not that crushers were ever a problem when you could bolter them

[snow scaffold]

Yeah but people said vet can get one shot by crushers now, I think even with full life

[autumn smelt]

I've heard it's bugged

[untold vault]

Bolter vet got nerfed

[snow scaffold]

Good

[untold vault]

Same with plasma now that ammo regen is on life support

[snow scaffold]

Good lol

[lyric burrow]

Autopistol seems good from the people ive seen use it

[autumn smelt]

Oh no
They have to actually dodge the guy who's swinging the school bus now
How will they ever recover

[glad sandal]

gonna try that rn

[untold vault]

Idk about zealot, havent playede yet but the uhh. Seen multiple knife invisibility zealots on the other side of the map.

[snow scaffold]

Nothing more annoying than those vet players that kill all the elites, even the ones you've first weakened the most

[glad sandal]

assail with emporewed psionics

[lucid horizon]

its me or the game is easyer?

[orchid nest]

yeah it's really good. just make sure you have true aim too

[untold vault]

If you're good with aiming most specials are single tap hipfire.

[rain carbon]

I think these new talents have made us very strong

[untold vault]

2 bullets is all it takes to down most specials

In ult you can 3 shot alt fire any mutie spam

[lucid horizon]

like the spikes

[rain carbon]

Assail is my favorite ability easily. I played a LOT of V2 Kerillian.

[untold vault]

Assail or Empowered Psionics are 100% getting nerfed

[languid tusk]

vet not being able to facetank a 2ton concrete rebar hammer swung by a 10feet tall abhuman is literally game breaking

as a vet

[rain carbon]

I hope it doesnt get nerfed or if it does it isnt too bad

[untold vault]

It's too op rn. Since you can spam it into a pack of specials

And trivialize them

[glad sandal]

what's true aim

[orchid nest]

it's right above destiny keystone

[lethal plover]

what does true aim do

[orchid nest]

it gives you an auto ranged crit after 5 weak point hits

[autumn smelt]

5 headshots makes your next hit a critical

[lethal plover]

oh yeah I have that

[harsh urchin]

@viral solstice jesus christ the dueling sword is so nutty now LOL

you were right

the heavies literally kill everything

[gilded viper]

yo this game kinda crazy wtf, doing the new hard mode thingy and it so hectic and the new skills feel so good

[languid tusk]

what mk version ?

[willow escarp]

mkV?

[autumn smelt]

Make sure you get the nodes that grant buffs from landing criticals, so much free buffs

[lethal plover]

what does auric do

auric missions are just more difficult ig

[amber abyss]

assail will be responsible for many psyker explosions

[lethal plover]

I can't really feel the increase in difficulty all that much. maybe it's because the new stuff is too good

[untold vault]

The only aurics that matter are HISTG and Maelstorm.

[amber abyss]

the dome sheild feels great

[autumn smelt]

The auric board are always the higher difficulties and have 1-2 modifiers

[orchid nest]

initially yeah but assail is so easy to manage peril with because you can quell as they are hitting stuff

[paper harbor]

that come handy with Shriek quell

[untold vault]

The others feel not much harder than normal Damnation

[faint mauve]

this is probably a terrible idea but this skill made me put a gun on my psyker

[untold vault]

HISTG spawns 100+ elites in a continuous wave. Maelstorm is 4 modifiers applied with buffed enemies.

[gilded viper]

nah honesty

[untold vault]

But rn HISTG feels much easier than pre patch with the new classes

Idk about Maelstorm

Havent triede yet

[elfin zenith]

uhh, so should Smite be free of peril cost while Empowered or is that code for Assail bleeding over? Unlimited free lightning seems not intended.

[autumn smelt]

As long as the rest of your build is accounting for a gun in it

[faint mauve]

it's basically melee psyker

i'll be fine

hopefully

[paper harbor]

i did run melee psyker

is decent

[viscid matrix]

Gunker is fun

[autumn smelt]

I mean if you got assail you don't have to mostly be melee lol

[untold vault]

Yeah, you can just keep holding it for infinite lightning

[shadow quail]

Yeah it's fun but I blew up like 4 times in a match

[paper harbor]

any replacement?

[untold vault]

Since it's still counts as "one attack"

[vast hare]

Important- Can Surge or Smite even get weakspot hits?

[faint mauve]

i already got that lol

[untold vault]

The one that is free

[amber abyss]

2 for me so far

the void feels amazing as a void main

[faint mauve]

all the new stuff looks sick as fuck btw

[orchid nest]

yeah this is funny. I went into my first match with an illisi figuring I'd need it to round out my build but then I just camped on assail anyways

[faint mauve]

mad props the the animation department

[spice veldt]

the assail hordeclear is reaaaal

[untold vault]

Best change is that you no longer spawn all the way back after a mission

But on the sides next to the launch bay

[shadow quail]

Yeah it pretty much kills everything apart from crushers but then you have void anyway

[spice veldt]

or uncanny strike on your melee

shoot shards and swap to melee

wink wink

[orchid nest]

between assail and voidstrike I honestly don't even know what to put in my melee slot. I know duelling sword is busted but you don't even need to really use it either. may as well just equip combat knife and get the new better bleeds or something for monsters

[harsh urchin]

yeah i have mk5

it's just random one i pulled out of my stash

[proud hinge]

what weapon blessings should I be looking for for a full assail build? I imagine rending from revolver?

[harsh urchin]

it's not even properly rolled LOL

hmm

carapace is much much more resistant to BB now

need to think this through

[lavish forge]

Psyker is the weirdest clas so far. Like what works well with DFome shield?

[lethal plover]

assail

[paper harbor]

wizard class

wizard is weird lot say

[zinc phoenix]

Big bawls

Gotta cover em with the cope dome

At this point the power level of everything is so wack that it doesn’t matter

[lethal plover]

there was that big archive arena, where an ogryn was trying to activate the console, while gunners were shooting at him, and I popped the shield to complete the objective

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah it’s a an off button for challenge 😂

Smite and cope dome is the hard carry combo

[orchid nest]

this is so true lmao I know everyone here is freaking out about power and nerfs but everyone is crazy atm

[lethal plover]

smite? I think you mean knives

[zinc phoenix]

Fuck knives 😂

[shadow quail]

barely has any cooldown too with pyskinetics aura

[zinc phoenix]

Smite disables entire areas with empower at zero peril cost

[long wharf]

I was pinged

[zinc phoenix]

Knives are a sad joke compared to empowered smite

[untold vault]

Yeah but smite does 0 dmg

[zinc phoenix]

😂

[shadow quail]

Both are really good

[lethal plover]

interesting because people I have talked to far prefer knives

[snow coral]

i only blew myself up onetime last run, progress!

[lethal plover]

you're the first one today to defend smite

[zinc phoenix]

Who cares about damage when the entire zone is jiggling

[long wharf]

Smote is ultimate team support

[native plover]

The exploding enemies say otherwise

[zinc phoenix]

Your teammates can left click things to death mindlessly while you walk forward

[thick carbon]

I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL

[smoky badge]

Smite is lovely at disabling. It's like the old surge multiplied

but assail is death

[untold vault]

You could have cleared the entire are with assail

[smoky badge]

Yeah exactly

[untold vault]

Before your teammates even had the chance to click

[zinc phoenix]

And then get domed by six crushers at the same time

[shadow quail]

void

[zinc phoenix]

Or you can smite them all simultaneously

[untold vault]

Crushers never were and will be a problem

[snow coral]

assail feels weird, maybe I'm doing it wrong, or maybe I need to not play 5 low and do a 5 reg or 45 hi

I do miss BB for sniping elites

[zinc phoenix]

I don’t even dodge anymore 😆

Smite

[untold vault]

They actually fixed the dogs though

Props to them

[orchid nest]

crushers aren't really a problem, you just build your ranged slot around handling them. which is currently void but will probably eventually be surge

[ebon smelt]

what i am looking for in a dueling sword

[snow scaffold]

That is probably the best change I've ever heard

[zinc phoenix]

It is tho

[proven stirrup]

This patch has a LOT of good changes

like seriously

[zinc phoenix]

It’s kinda broken the game tho

[proven stirrup]

The only thing I don't care for is how overtuned we are now

[zinc phoenix]

Like this isn’t fun except as a power fantasy

[ebon smelt]

I think the emperor wants to tell me something

[proven stirrup]

So I'm gonna hold off so I don't get spoiled by the power we have atm

[zinc phoenix]

I doubt I’ll even play tomorrow because walking thru the map smiting everything for effortless auric damnation wins is boring

[untold vault]

Now hadron has to not brick the last blessing

[shadow quail]

Doubt it's going to be unlimited forever

[lavish forge]

what stats do i focus on?

[shadow quail]

looks like a bug

[zinc phoenix]

The only challenge rn is your ability to hold both mouse buttons simultaneously without falling asleep

[ebon smelt]

Uncanny Strike 3

[untold vault]

It's not a bug due to how it works

[zinc phoenix]

Zero peril, unlimited duration mass stun cannot possibly be intended

Unlimited cap on the stun targets

[shadow quail]

It having unlimited charge isn't on the skill tree, either they didn't put it there or it's bugged.

[ebon smelt]

how can you get 0 perill? I am almost killing myself with smite

[shadow quail]

empowered psionics

[untold vault]

The unlimited charge comes from that it's still that one attack you did at the start

[zinc phoenix]

Get the full empower tree, get a couple empower stacks, cast smite

[untold vault]

As long as you keep holding it down it still counts as 1 attack

[zinc phoenix]

It’s comical

[ebon smelt]

oh i am running with warp charges

[wheat wren]

how's the overhaul looking?

[lofty escarp]

has anyone found a good way to use scrier?

[zinc phoenix]

😂 that old trash

[lavish forge]

ok lads, gunpsyker dome build? yey or nay

[zinc phoenix]

Guns 😂

ULTIMATE POWAH

[ebon smelt]

consume warp charges to get more domes, that was my line of thinking

[shadow quail]

It comes from EP, and it isn't listed as giving a free charge, like the knives.

[zinc phoenix]

It’d be funnier to spam shields since they mess things up when those things go thru them

[ebon smelt]

but shield not dome

so i win

[zinc phoenix]

🤔

👍

[untold vault]

Yeah, and if you keep holding it down it still counts as that one free attack from EP

[kind heron]

I just rolled this im so sad, i can't get perks or blessings maxed out and the weapon stats are amazing 😢

[shadow quail]

But it doesn't state a free attack with EP..

[untold vault]

Only when you let go of the button and cast it again will it count as a new one

[zinc phoenix]

That’s how it works tho

[shadow quail]

Because it's a bug

[lavish forge]

What aura is best for dome and asai

[zinc phoenix]

I hope to god it is

I mean a zone wide completely free zero cooldown uncapped disable seems a bit op 😂

[shadow quail]

Yeah it's clearly bugged lol

[keen harbor]

okay, so shards and surge staff are not a good combination

[zinc phoenix]

People in here tryna tell me knives are even close

[shadow quail]

knives are good though 🤷‍♂️

[zinc phoenix]

They’re good for a normal thing

This is UNLIMITED POWER

[elfin zenith]

it feels bugged

[glad sandal]

I swear to god

[shadow quail]

It's either not mentioned on the tooltip, or not intended

[glad sandal]

assail is just too strong

I spent the entire game camping it, pulling my sword once or twice when surrounded and that's it

[olive ember]

thats because it is bugged

[glad sandal]

purgatus is useless against the mighty power of being Yondu from Guardians of the galaxy

[zinc phoenix]

If it weren’t for empowered smite being the single strongest thing in the game and it’s not even close I’d say assail is busted

[olive ember]

smite should only have increased damage and faster chaining

[shadow quail]

if you could get wildfire purg with assail would be really good imo

[zinc phoenix]

The charges return so fast

[olive ember]

it shouldn't have zero peril cost for obvious reasons

[untold vault]

Purgatus got passively nerfed because hordes are much smaller now

[glad sandal]

are they tho ?

[untold vault]

It's more specials and less pox walkers

At least on auric

[glad sandal]

man I'm thinking about playing gun psyker with assail

[snow coral]

assail staggers shotgunners I'm so happy

[glad sandal]

so I can also os far away ennemies

[untold vault]

Im trying out revolver assail

rending on crit -> assail. Hope it works

[broken quail]

kinda, hordes seem to be just as long but have "thinned out". Hord clear melee is still good but purge doesn't really feel as necessary

[shadow wigeon]

What does +Finesse, as in on Decapitator, actually do now?

[untold vault]

Yeah, even on HISTG auric the hordes are very thin

[glad sandal]

😦

rip purgatus

you'll be missed

[shadow quail]

yeah the hordes feel bit small now

[glad sandal]

I'm thinking about trying on the new zealot

[shadow quail]

is that intended?

[glad sandal]

because ogryn is meh and vet is a bore for real

[languid tusk]

crit psyker here we go

[stuck bridge]

telekine or scier's gaze with smite

[broken quail]

Decided to use reality anchor on scrier. Precog is just overkill after the damage buff and most use I'm getting outa anchor is crit chance for toughness

[orchid nest]

someone said earlier that assail itself was using the rending from the revolver but surely a bug and I haven't confirmed

[primal plume]

This is 100% broken on Smite. For some reason it doesnt build peril when you have a stack. Meaning you can cast forever

[smoky badge]

Because it considers an active hold as not 1 charge use

[languid tusk]

interesting

[smoky badge]

if you hold the attack key, you'll never use it

[rain carbon]

Kinda feel like empowered psionics is the best keystone in the tree tbh

[lavish forge]

is there not a ranalds gift type website to send builds?

[thin lantern]

there is no way to avoid death with scrier's gaze, or I just suffer from skill issue ?

[rain carbon]

There is but I don't think it has been updated yet

[lavish forge]

you can manually tun it off

[shadow quail]

Overall yeah it's the general one, other two is for gun psyker and fire build

[thin lantern]

wait, how ?

[lavish forge]

hit the button again

[primal plume]

++20%

[thin lantern]

I think I tried this, didn't work, but I'll try again, thanks !

[rain carbon]

I was thiking of running warp siphon with the bubble plus some other talents to get a super lower CD bubble but haven't been able to try it out yet so idk if the CD is really worth

[untold vault]

I wonder, the 5 weakspot hits = 100% crit

Rending on ur revolver

[shadow quail]

I've been running dome with smite, psykenetic aura, EP and it's mostly off cooldown, it has a 50% uptime just from making it a dome.

[untold vault]

Would it apply to your knives?

Let it sit at 5 hits

[rain carbon]

That's what I've been wanting to run as a more "support" type thing

[rain carbon]

I think the knives do get headshots so probably

[orchid nest]

right now apparently according to someone else assail applies the rending just for having the revolver equipped is what I was trying to say before. idk if it would work though like you say. but you could always do trauma too for the rending

[grave nexus]

Got this voidstrike staff, outside of terrifying barrage which I can guess it needs changing, is it solid?

[untold vault]

Yes it does lmaooooo

[orchid nest]

yeah just put warp nexus over the barrage and put crit chance or maniac on it

[untold vault]

and that only Hand-Cannon III 70% rending

[grave nexus]

alright will do, thanks!

most likely I'll go for crit chance to go with surge

[untold vault]

Time to roll hand-cannon 4 revolver only to never use it and stay in knives

[orchid nest]

[untold vault]

Good chance this will never get fixed because this mechanic was in the game since forever

[digital narwhal]

I bet I can kill a Bulwark faster than you Spark'eads.

Observe.

[thin lantern]

it only works when I reach 100% heat, right ?

[lyric burrow]

Got his ass damn

[rain carbon]

That cut off is killing me lol

[stuck bridge]

why is empowered psionics breaking smite i wonder

[digital narwhal]

Probably coded like the other two with 0 Peril cost

[stuck bridge]

the amount of peril you generate without it feels bad tbh

i have a feeling once they fix this bug smite gonna suck

[neon steppe]

Wow Voidstrike is so overturned now

[stuck bridge]

or rather not suck but

[manic halo]

thank u big man

[orchid nest]

it honestly should help with the peril cost still after they change it but they'll have to make it last a duration after you click instead

[manic halo]

https://img.ifunny.co/videos/1f783e383001bb700532334527cc4d66ee632a1cd4785616710e28340aaff02d_1.mp4

[digital narwhal]

Ye lmao

Run Flak + Maniac on it btw

Gives one shot breakpoints on all Elites n' Specialists except for Ogryns n' Muties

Maniac makes Muties a 2 shot too

as opposed to a 3 shot.

[manic halo]

my jaw dropped when i saw void strike kill a muti that quickly

[white oar]

If you max brain burst and have a shield ogryn with taunt, is it feasible to get malleus monstrum on a daemonhost

[digital narwhal]

Surge Blessing gives you one shot Ogryn n' Mutie breakpoints too

[manic halo]

thats fucking crazy

[digital narwhal]

You can guarantee when you get a crit too with True Aim

And you can give yourself a resting 14% crit chance as Psyker too

[digital narwhal]

without any +Crit Perks on weapons

[ebon smelt]

i mean, it was possible before just like that. The ogryn just needs to be the one to aggro it first

[white oar]

Very cool

[digital narwhal]

Taunt doesn't work on DH btw

[white oar]

That's also true

But you just bonk them

[ebon smelt]

yeh

[white oar]

As the Ogryn*

[orchid nest]

I honestly think unyielding is a consideration for void too because it's so strong anyways with the crits and surge and it's honestly very good against monstrosities (for a psyker) which is much more of a weakness in your kit than everything else

[digital narwhal]

I prefer having one shots tbh

So I run Flak + Maniac

Just run a Duelling Sword for bosses

[white oar]

I can never decide between dueling sword or force sword

they're both so cool smh

[snow coral]

empower + smite holy shit

[digital narwhal]

T'is bugged rn

[orchid nest]

is it even necessary for the one shots with warp rider and perfect timing bonuses rolling? @digital narwhal

[digital narwhal]

Isn't supposed to have 0 Peril cost

[paper harbor]

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

[native copper]

is empower + smite bugged ?

[rose dagger]

either that or they considered it balanced by the fact that the lightning does shet dmg i guess

mostly CC
very powerful CC

[lethal plover]

this psychic shield, is it something from the lore of 40k? when has it been used

[sterile saddle]

psykers have had shields before yes, although usually its enemy psykers

or aliens

not sure why

im pretty sure some people have forcefields too, like certain inquisitors.. some of the inquisitors even have extra organs like space marines

[hidden crystal]

Hoo boy.

Warp Charges buried right down the bottom, only normally awarded for elite and special kills, (nerfed) quicken is built in so using your ult always loses them all, and most enemies now have much more health.

This does not do good things for my old builds.

[long wharf]

okay folks, suffer with me

[stuck bridge]

smite and surge staff should be swapped around imo

smite should be the single target explode, surge gets the aoe

[true lake]

oof on charge rate

[sterile saddle]

idk makes more sense the staff can channel more damage

[true lake]

i would imagine the staff would make more sense as doing more damage given its a focus point for warp energy

whereas smite is just shoot warp energy out your hands

[echo cosmos]

One reason I take walls over dome is because it is
1: funny to watch a mutie run into a fake wall
2: really hard to waste. Most walls will get at least some usage, even if it's just trapping a bomber with their own ticking bomb

[burnt tapir]

Does the Surge staff still get like extra bonus damage on crits?

[vale ledge]

I just created a psyker with no danger increase using the palpatine skill

xD

[sterile saddle]

is it warp enrgy? I thought it was just psyker making waveguides through the air

[untold vault]

Btw does blitz also use the perks of the weapon? Ie if I use 10% crit chance on my weapon does my blitz also get 10% crit chance?

[sterile saddle]

no

[spice veldt]

only if you have your weapon out

so you can throw your shards and swap to your ranged/melee

[sterile saddle]

😮

[spice veldt]

there are no broken interactions here totally

uncanny + shards

[orchid nest]

I also have been trying the walls, they have very good utility with the stagger and special waves without even considering shooters

[spice veldt]

crit shards + deadly accurate

[gilded raven]

what's the purpose of the new surge staff? i kinda guess its not support anymore

[spice veldt]

crit shards + hand cannon

[true lake]

i dont know shit about 40k i just know warp is bad and psyker use warp

[sterile saddle]

its dmg

[long wharf]

change of plans :

[true lake]

yeah use that one lol

hopefully you get the blessings you need

[long wharf]

oof

[echo cosmos]

Domes are great for exposed objectives, but walls make hallways bareable

[untold vault]

Oh wait it totally does

[long wharf]

okay, okay

[untold vault]

10% crit chance revolver here I come

[echo cosmos]

That's good I think

Anti maniac

[orchid nest]

yeah t4 maniac is one you want

[long wharf]

well howdy doo

[digital narwhal]

Weak Spot to Flak and Warp Flurry to Surge

and then it'll be perfect

[long wharf]

uh, no.

[untold vault]

Well, it's not the best but it's good for assail

[digital narwhal]

NO?!

[long wharf]

weak spot to crit

[true lake]

nice, now just slap surge blessing on it lol

[orchid nest]

it really pulled through in the end, very ideal now throwing surge on it and replacing weak spot dmg

[true lake]

maybe change out the maniac perk too

[sterile saddle]

o i got a nice staff too

[orchid nest]

nah you want to keep the maniac

[long wharf]

but I'd rather keep Warp Flurry

[echo cosmos]

I think the blessing should be named Vostroyan roulette, because they are more Russian

[orchid nest]

sounds weird but the new void is very strong against mutants and stuff

[digital narwhal]

You can have a resting 14% crit chance as Psyker though, with Warp Nexus added onto it.
It's better to reach one shot breakpoints than have extra crit, surely?

[echo cosmos]

Also as a nod towards Paradox-Billards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker

[digital narwhal]

Plus, guaranteed crits with True Aim

[true lake]

i mean, you can try warp flurry with it

you get the most bang out of it by having surge blessing tho

[echo cosmos]

Surge is by far better

2 shots per crit

[long wharf]

you guys are aware that Surge doesn't double your damage, right?

it's a non-crit hit

[echo cosmos]

No but it is still 2 shots per crit

[weak galleon]

is class overhaul out now? How's it going for Psyker specifically?

[true lake]

no but it heavily ups the damage there still

[echo cosmos]

And means you can proc true aim twice

[long wharf]

well, luckily this staff rolled well enough that I can swap around the one spot

[orchid nest]

warp flurry is much easier to maintain now at least if you like it but yeah I would prefer surge. it procs true aim again and helps you reach breakpoints

[untold vault]

Most op class in the game arguably rn

[weak galleon]

noice.

[ripe spire]

soulblaze kills count as warp attack kills?

[sterile saddle]

yes

[ripe spire]

ty

[smoky badge]

Play assail with empower and watch as hordes melt. It's the best feeling thing this has since ult cycling veteran

[warped kernel]

Does that work? For me, i just let it get to 100 and then quell

[long wharf]

also, another reason to go extra crit chance is because you're relying on Surge to proc for dps boost

[weak galleon]

it seems I finished Phantom Liberty dlc just in time.

[echo cosmos]

I hope they don't change empowered Smite.

If Empowered Smite costed peril, it would be borderline useless

[long wharf]

I did not finish Starfield in time

[weak galleon]

on NG10+ in Starfield.
D4 season 2 is couple weeks away. So is Sienna's 4th career.
Time to reinstall DTide.

[long wharf]

Diablo4 is going to wait until Blizzard fixes a lot of stuff

not possible for S2, maybe S3

[orchid nest]

I think if they do change it that it should cost less peril normally and that empowered should still help or eliminate peril but be on a timer instead of infinite starting from when you channel it

[echo cosmos]

People still play Activision-Blizzard games?

[digital narwhal]

ew, crit chance

[stuck bridge]

deimos feels sluggish

[ornate pebble]

psyker got reeeaaal mid

[stuck bridge]

but still good

[snow coral]

anyone else see bosses stagger?

I swear I've seen a plague ogryn and DH get staggered

[weak galleon]

eh, don't mind not returning to D4 for a year or two.
Looking forward to glass cannon psyker builds with new DTide patch.

Also, why the Voidstrikes suddenly? Due to 3rd ult, the one meant for gun psyker?

[ornate pebble]

yea

[digital narwhal]

Nah, you probably just have a bad build.
Let us help you with that.

[echo cosmos]

Maybe like, their RTS games, but those are free

[long wharf]

Void got +70% damage buff

[digital narwhal]

What you running rn?

[long wharf]

and cleave limit removed

[ornate pebble]

no just liek in general

[snow coral]

we legit pinned a DH in a corner on 5

[long wharf]

now it's a proper railgun

[ornate pebble]

the new psyker shit just feels mid

[weak galleon]

oh fuck yes, was my favorite staff before

[ornate pebble]

its not particularly interesting or great

[digital narwhal]

Then I'd have to massively disagree.

Psyker got really cracked.

[stuck bridge]

some would say overtuned

[digital narwhal]

^

[ornate pebble]

veteran claps shit waaaay harder than psyker now

[shadow quail]

Pysker currently has several broken things

[digital narwhal]

HAHAHAHAHA no

[echo cosmos]

Psyker is not glass cannon

Psyker can regen toughness with so many ways

[lone junco]

Negative

[digital narwhal]

[grave nexus]

even not counting stuff like voidstrike or infinite smite, the shield alone feels amazing so far

[lone junco]

Psyker is good

[ornate pebble]

idk dawg i compare psyker and veteran and my veteran melts way faster than psyker that ive seen

[digital narwhal]

Dodge tanking with crits n' Empathic Evasion too

[echo cosmos]

Vet is actually balanced, for once

[digital narwhal]

Again, you probably have a bad build then

[fringe garden]

Maybe you suck with psyker

[ornate pebble]

i dont have a psyker character lmfao

[weak galleon]

I know, just want my mage power fantasy build.

[orchid nest]

i'm gonna have to disagree here, they destroy shit and the toughness generation and passive dodge procs while spamming assails makes you incredibly durable

like too durable

[ornate pebble]

idk bro ig im just seeing stupid psykers in heresy/damns

[lone junco]

Then perhaps the people who run it with you don’t have it down

[lapis bay]

We are the emperors chosen after all

[stuck bridge]

what auras are people enjoying?

[snow scaffold]

Better than before

[digital narwhal]

Probably just bad players.
The good players are in Aurics.

[weak galleon]

i just hope if fatshark starts nerfing psyker again, it's not the damage that gets nerfed.

[echo cosmos]

Assail recharge and/or shard count is going to be be hit with the nerf hammer, calling it now

[lapis bay]

recharge ^

[orchid nest]

I wouldn't be surprised if heresys are terrible right now because you don't even have to be that high level to enter them still right? and all the new players

[lone junco]

Yeah last time I had to stop running psyker because it got hit hard

[lethal plover]

assail is like "lol vets need to aim"

[fluid knot]

So after many hours with Assail + Scriers i can safely say that its a very dangerous loadout

[lone junco]

Brainburst especially

[lavish forge]

with shield and shards im thinking flamethrower or trauma staff?

[digital narwhal]

I've seen so many Vets complain about Psyker shards suddenly stealing their kills.

[echo cosmos]

Exploded yourself?

[digital narwhal]

KARMA

IT'S KARMA, I TELL YOU

[ornate pebble]

lol

[fluid knot]

An its fucking glorious

[snow scaffold]

Dangerous for us or for the enemies

[ornate pebble]

revenge of the BB

[shy prairie]

certified assail classic

[fluid knot]

Both. its both

[lethal plover]

I haven't given scriers an honest try yet. What about it makes it worth giving up the dome

[digital narwhal]

EXACTLY

[whole hawk]

u could just not use blitz in scriers (ur not supposed to)

[echo cosmos]

Good thing kills no longer extend their ult then

[long wharf]

Scrier is a big dps boost for short periods

you really can't keep it up 24/7

[whole hawk]

killing things better is more fun than hiding behind a wall

[echo cosmos]

Vet has been assigned grenade monkey

[lavish forge]

its good for gun psykers

[snow scaffold]

Good let the vet players complain they're the ones that made the game too boring pre patch

[digital narwhal]

I'd prefer it if it did so they could be even more annoyed

[whole hawk]

faster and cooler

[fluid knot]

Uhhhh yeah no, you deffo can, its just dangerous an requires you to manage your peril to a very high degree

[whole hawk]

go sicko mode

[digital narwhal]

What?

[lethal plover]

gun build

interesting

[digital narwhal]

Assail goes nuts in Scrier's

[fluid knot]

Tbh it feels like its got a ridiculously high skill ceiling

[wanton sandal]

peak smite gameplay

[whole hawk]

assail goes nuts outside of scrier

[digital narwhal]

[echo cosmos]

Grenade Monkey vet with every grenade

[wanton sandal]

god the new psyker abilities are so fucking fun

[lapis bay]

Gunbuild actually the most fun

[whole hawk]

u dont need scrier to make assail broken

[digital narwhal]

Goes even more nuts in Scrier's

You say that like they're exclusive

[whole hawk]

i dont know why u would assail in scriers since ur going to build peril so fast

[digital narwhal]

They're not

[whole hawk]

i said "supposed"

[void mural]

do disrupt destiny targets have any kind of marker on them? I was playing with it active and didn't see anything marking targets

[whole hawk]

what about that is exclusive

[fluid knot]

Idk, i guess some of us can handle that

[slim lily]

Strong as always

[wanton sandal]

they're bluish glowy

[digital narwhal]

You're not "supposed" to do anything.
The entire point of this tree building is to let us do what we want.

[void mural]

ohhhh... I thought that was soulblaze

[digital narwhal]

[untold vault]

It reduces cooldown if it was a special/elites I think.

Scriers an Assail is gonna be my go-to Psyker loadout from now on

[lethal plover]

how do you isntall this mod again

[fluid knot]

No contest

[wanton sandal]

nah like

[slim lily]

Repatch the mod

[wanton sandal]

their entire body is glowing blue in your vision even thru walls

[untold vault]

But it's a hard nerf from before when you could have infinite ult by shooting int o a bunch of shooters

[wanton sandal]

you'll know it when you see it

[whole hawk]

its not even about handling, youre losing so much dps and potential stacks because when u use blitz instead of gun in scriers

[whole hawk]

nice one

[slim lily]

In ur game directory there should be a repatch ese

Run it

[fluid knot]

Well thats just bullshit

Besides, you lose out DPS on a gun when you could be using Voidstrike

[slim lily]

But not all mods are patched cuz sometime updates broken things

[digital narwhal]

Consider the following:
Voidstrike + Assail Scrier Psyker

[whole hawk]

nice 1

[slim lily]

But most of them

[fluid knot]

Yep, this is indeed the move, and its beautiful

[wanton sandal]

btw smite is actually BROKEN with empowered psionics

[slim lily]

At least hud and scoreboards still working

[wanton sandal]

if you get a charge you can endlessly smite without peril

[thin lantern]

well, when I quell when reaching 100% I still die 50% of the time

[whole hawk]

erm.. youre not "supposed" to be using voidstrike and assail

[untold vault]

Assail + scrier isnt good unless Im missing something.

[whole hawk]

let me play how i want smh

[digital narwhal]

3 DPS

[untold vault]

It makes your peril go up way too fast

[fluid knot]

Yes, quite :3

[wanton sandal]

😭

[whole hawk]

:3c

[proud hinge]

are there any build guides out there?

[fluid knot]

You dont have to think its "supposed" to be done, but we're gonna do it anyway and shred maps whilst doing so :3

[digital narwhal]

Then stop telling us what you're "supposed" to do with Scrier's

[wanton sandal]

tbh i just run assail and shield, shield's really useful

although shriek might be good for dumping peril

[untold vault]

Yeah it stops pox bursters too

[whole hawk]

holy

[digital narwhal]

Same

[fluid knot]

Good to hear shield is good

[digital narwhal]

I love Assail n' Shield

[fluid knot]

I havent used it much, but thats promising

[proud hinge]

are there any build guides out there?

[digital narwhal]

I love popping a shield to stop Elites n' Specialists from moving

[untold vault]

I love shield so much

[digital narwhal]

[slim lily]

The shield is very good in close range combat

Like in a small room

[untold vault]

It's god tier in close range combat

[slim lily]

So that those annoying bombers don’t just bbq you

[keen harbor]

flame staff + force thunder is really good

[untold vault]

People were crying about infinite vet toughness regen

[long wharf]

I really wish Destiny Disrupt had a larger range

[untold vault]

But with the dome shield you can go from 0 to 100% toughness in like 1.5 seconds for the entire party

[keen harbor]

can't find a purpose for surge staff anymore

[warped kernel]

what do you mean exactly? the way it's been going for me, if i stop using warp based attacks and let it hit 100, scriers ends and i can quell or just let it drop naturally. i blow up when it gets to 100 and i use another attack.

[weak galleon]

wait, enemies can't pass through shield? or what?

[long wharf]

it'd be great with Void if not for the 25m range

[warped kernel]

they get stunned if you take the talent

[digital narwhal]

Elites n' Specialists get stunned with the left-side upgrade line for Telekine Shield

The one that gives you 2x Charges

[warped kernel]

so no dome

[untold vault]

I think it also stacks if you have multiple psykers

[lethal plover]

giving up the dome? kinda bold

[wanton sandal]

whayt'd be a better keystone for assail? disrupt or warp charges?

[weak galleon]

okay, already useful ability sounds even better now.

[fluid knot]

I went warp charges

[burnt tapir]

Can someone eli assail?

[digital narwhal]

Empowered Psionics

[long wharf]

neither - you want EP

[digital narwhal]

EP lets you SPAM

[lethal plover]

empowered is op

[wanton sandal]

buh...

[fluid knot]

I will try that next

[warped kernel]

EP is best it seems, but warp charges are actually still good with assail

[long wharf]

EP doesn't let you spam Assail

[digital narwhal]

Bro's never used EP Assail

[long wharf]

but you will do more damage overall with it

[thin lantern]

then it might be my problem. Maybe I'm still attacking while being at 100%

[untold vault]

Did an assasination mission with another dome psyker. And when the boss does his aoe to delete your toughness you just instantly regen it by standing in the dome lmao.

[wanton sandal]

i figure warp charges would be better for the consistent peril reduction

[void pasture]

does anyone know that bio lightning + empower psionics = unlimited no perils lightning?

[warped kernel]

warp charge assail seems like more burst damage at max stakcs.

[lethal plover]

yes shield regens toughness so fast

[warped kernel]

stacks

[shy prairie]

scrier is just screaming

CHAOS REIGNS CHAOS REIGNS CHAOS REIGNS

[long wharf]

the problem with EP is the 12% chance on kill for a stack

[warped kernel]

could be wrong though

[digital narwhal]

That's why you take guaranteed charge on Elite kill

[lethal plover]

12%? I choose the guaranteed on elite kill

[long wharf]

warp charge Assail doesn't do as much damage as EP

[digital narwhal]

[long wharf]

that's statistically worse for Assail

[digital narwhal]

Guarantee charge on Elite kills is fucking bonkers

[warped kernel]

yeah switch to melee or just let it get to 100, you have to stop doing warp attacks right before 100 to be safe

[long wharf]

unless you aren't playing on Damnation

[shy prairie]

https://youtu.be/2w0261AkfLA

[lethal plover]

is that statistics assuming you will be spammign assail on trash mobs

[thin lantern]

I'll try this out, thanks

[digital narwhal]

Why would we talk about build crafting outside of Damnation?

[lethal plover]

I mainly reserve assail for elites

[untold vault]

Also devil catachan is god tier now with the parry.

You can parry crushers

And DH

[digital narwhal]

It's also great for shooter management tbf

[lethal plover]

true

[silent forge]

a random assail just aggroed a host in my previous game so uh watch out for that

[lethal plover]

yeah we still need a boss killer in the squad
