and a tanker

wanton sandal
#

it does nutty damage to specials and elites

smoky badge
#

Man, it's crazy. That empower buff limits the peril generation from scrier during sustained smite usage.

digital narwhal
#

Just having any Ogryn with a Psyker is a recipe for a successful run now tbh

fluid knot
#

Tbh only things ive seen it struggle with at all are Bulwarks and Crushers

wanton sandal
#

it just does its job but way better

fluid knot
wild sable
#

does smites alt fire work correctly? the description reads as if it's supposed to do rapid single target but it feels more like higher damage normal fire

shy prairie
#

FYI, Bloodthirsty on the Ilisi can give you on demand ghost for 1 second

#

getting shot? just press q and crit something to become immune to ranged

wanton sandal
primal plume
#

A reminder that the psyker bubble also regens toughness and gives damage resist when it ends

#

so its still useful even if theres no shooter

#

the regen also stacks

digital narwhal
#

Honestly, both Telekine Shield branches are 10/10 imo

tall mango
#

love me dome

primal plume
#

threw 2 on the zealot tanking a boss and his toughness regen was huge

lavish forge
#

am I crazy or did they reduce our max health and toughness because of the toughness nodes?

tall mango
#

they did

#

toughness is baseline lower

digital narwhal
#

Health is the same iirc, but Toughness did go down.

tall mango
#

Psyker was at 100 base

#

he is now…i wanna say 75

digital narwhal
#

HOWEVER, it's a net improvement for us with Toughness Nodes anyway

wanton sandal
#

i'd say it's fair for how potent psyker is now

digital narwhal
lavish forge
#

whats better then toughness nodes or toughness amage resist

long wharf
#

just get +30% toughness regen speed on all your curios, ezpz

tall mango
#

i have 20% toughness damage reduction

digital narwhal
#

But, you usually end up with both anyway

tall mango
#

it’s so good

burnt tapir
#

how do you properly use assail?

full bane
#

Spam it duh

smoky badge
#

Look at a horde, click multiple times and delete them

weak galleon
#

damn i love new voidstrike

digital narwhal
#

Spam it, or aim in if you need to hit a specific enemy or a far away enemy

lavish forge
weak galleon
#

+70% dmg on direct hits.
more cleave.

long wharf
#

not "more cleave"

lavish forge
#

its always had great cleave

long wharf
#

all the cleave

lavish forge
#

and did decent damage

long wharf
#

no, it had crap cleave

wanton sandal
#

new primary on staves is really good

long wharf
#

only hit 4 enemies before

wanton sandal
#

also assail is a mutie slayer

weak galleon
#

yes, it was my favorite staff before, even though it was considered weakest by community.

#

now tho...

fluid knot
long wharf
#

4

weak galleon
#

definitely not 4.

fluid knot
#

No... 6

lavish forge
#

i used to wipe hordes with that thing

weak galleon
#

^

#

same

lavish forge
#

idk i sed to think it was good

long wharf
#

the AoE helped kill things

dawn orchid
#

Just tried smite, seems to do essentially no damage at all. Surge seems decent enough damage

fluid knot
#

An even then, half the time it would bug out an you'd get way more than 6

long wharf
#

now, there is no cleave limit for Void staff

wanton sandal
#

does basically no damage at all though

weak galleon
fluid knot
#

I used void selectively since the release window lol

long wharf
#

it didn't

weak galleon
#

it had enough cleave.

#

definitely not 4.

shy prairie
#

im so glad i have a crit deimos...

dawn orchid
#

It's just more clearly defined old surge then

shy prairie
#

the insanity

fluid knot
#

It had 6 enemies cleaved, when not bugging out, and was the best non-purgatus Soulblaze applicator

dawn orchid
#

Not sure why smite has a charge up, it barely does more damage

fluid knot
#

An tbh it still is on that latter point, more so given the now much faster casting speed

wanton sandal
#

i think charged smite spreads some icky biolightning or whatever

#

its not very clear

dawn orchid
#

I'm guessing it's for "instant" cc application in scenarios where you can't channel uncharged for long

rocky hedge
#

lets see them surge builds baby

dawn orchid
#

But charged doesn't uniformly stagger all elites/specials either, maulers just shrug it off

#

Although it does make bulwarks drop shield

ornate hamlet
#

so whats the best staff now

fluid knot
#

Voidstrike

dawn orchid
#

Probably voidstrike

tall mango
#

voidstrike

fluid knot
#

From the bottom to the top in one single patch

#

An it is glorious

wanton sandal
#

i knew voidstrike would have its comeback

dawn orchid
#

Surge seems acceptable from testing in the psyk, but voidstrike is undoubtedly the best

white cedar
#

I don't know is it bug or intended but if you use Smite with Empowered Psionics, the Smite will not cost any Peril. 😄

tall mango
fluid knot
#

Its a bug ye

tall mango
#

The left click is useless imo

#

does the same damage but can only hit 2-3 max

magic whale
#

Anyone playing with smite using Empowered psionics?

tall mango
#

i am

#

it’s insanely strong

magic whale
#

It’s so fun

wanton sandal
#

so good

tall mango
#

check the vids and see how good that shit is

#

i pray they keep it

white cedar
wanton sandal
#

it WILL be patched out in a week i promise

cedar lantern
#

so i noticed that i cant 2 shot crushers with brain burst is there a build that lets me do that again?

wanton sandal
#

so have fun with it now

burnt tapir
#

so what does rightlick assail do vs left click

magic whale
white cedar
#

the skill without bug is really bad XD

tall mango
#

????

#

it ABSOLUTELY is worth it

sterile saddle
#

right click does 25% peril and hits harder

sterile saddle
#

left click is 10%

tall mango
#

I was stunning literally entire hordes

tall mango
#

It’s still an incredibly strong crowd CC

#

It’s about using it correctly

sterile saddle
#

its excellent for repositioning when u need to buy time to get to cover

tall mango
#

the bug just removes the using it correctly

sterile saddle
#

and it works really well on armor

magic whale
#

I got CC and toughness revenging shield, im loving the support role

wanton sandal
#

supposedly there's enough skills that give you +50% brain burst over the original one

tall mango
#

because if you have it forever, well..

wanton sandal
#

idk which tho

tall mango
#

EP

dawn orchid
tall mango
#

My vids

magic whale
#

None of the warp abilities can crit right?

tall mango
#

in the build channel

tall mango
#

and it’s very strong

white cedar
#

yep

magic whale
#

Oh cool, that makes sense

tall mango
#

1k damage per headshot

#

can do insane burst damage

dawn orchid
#

So smite can't? Here I was making a smite/surge crit build

tall mango
#

It cannot

#

But it doesn’t need to

dawn orchid
magic whale
#

Anyone tested out the soul blaze potential on smite though?

white cedar
#

it's not made for damage, just CC

tall mango
#

I have a little bit

#

It’s not as good as soulblaze assail

#

assail with sb can absolutely shred hordes

dawn orchid
#

Where's the build channel?

#

That gameplay help?

tall mango
dawn orchid
#

Ah I see, zero peril smite for infinite channeling

#

It's just smite now

lavish forge
#

what happened to surge

#

oh so smite is better now

#

got it

meager eagle
#

right click with smite

shadow quail
#

Smite is for controlling

meager eagle
#

everything in front of you staggered infinitely

tall mango
#

smite is insanely good

warm flint
#

i am glad that you like it

tall mango
#

it’s exactly what you’re looking for though..?

#

controlling the field?

#

that’s what it does

shadow quail
#

smite can stun 20+ things permanently currently. For CC is is much better than old surge

warm flint
#

it is not the same, it is not what the surge staff did

tall mango
#

it does it better

dawn orchid
#

Can you give smite crit chance with scriers gaze?

#

Or does it not crit no matter what

tall mango
#

It does not crit

dawn orchid
#

whack

#

There goes my hype

reef island
#

newish to psyker, what stat for a curio am I lookin for?

rose dagger
#

infinite smite is crazy but i still say the crystal throwing knifes are better

weak galleon
#

high damage on charged hits? is description wrong or I'm doing smth wrong?
checking it in Psykhanium, damnation

tall mango
#

it is incorrect

shadow quail
#

Surge wishes it could control the field the same way smite does.

tall mango
#

smite damage does not change

weak galleon
#

it barely deals any damage. Seems like a good stun though

tall mango
#

the damage is not what it’s for

#

it’s an insanely strong CC tool

weak galleon
tall mango
#

can disable entire hordes

shadow quail
#

Yeah the damage is shit

tall mango
#

yes and hadron isn’t a clown

shadow quail
#

But you can infiently stun everything and then swap to void and one tap almost anything.

weak galleon
#

it does seem like a very decent stun, tho

tall mango
#

That’s is correct too

shadow quail
#

it's not decent it's broken atm lol

weak galleon
#

not sure how it holds up in a mixed horde

tall mango
weak galleon
#

how many enemies can it stun at once?

shadow quail
#

20

#

and with no peril atm

novel locust
#

to all those who use the throwing crystals: do you guys find yourselfs just using the crystals instead of your gun becasue its more effective?

tall mango
#

It feels like more than 20

white hemlock
shadow quail
white hemlock
#

100%

tall mango
#

I wouldn’t say it’s broken tbh

white hemlock
#

I would.

tall mango
#

If you play poorly you can be interrupted out of it

white hemlock
#

And then go to the next charge of free

tall mango
#

It requires not being hit, at all

weak galleon
#

am i seeing it right.

tall mango
#

EP

#

Yes

white hemlock
#

You can literally just hold the button down infedinitely and spin your camera 360 until you win the game

tall mango
#

Truthfully this isn’t as broken as the shards

#

you cannot stun monstrosities

#

nor does it do much damage

#

and the longer it takes to kill, the longer they have to get closer, and you can only stun so many things

#

plus snipers and gunners can out range you

#

knives just, kill them

weak galleon
#

yeah thats a bug. and a one they'll probably hotfix by tomorrow, so I wont get to taste it in actual game.

#

should be fun playing Palpatines rn.

fluid knot
tall mango
#

I think it should stay in some form also TRUE

#

Relic is insanely good

fluid knot
#

Which can stun monsters and however many there are in the situation along with everything else

magic whale
#

Is that the zealot holding up the badge thing?

tall mango
#

Palpatine quivers at the thought of some holy relic being more powerful than him

dawn orchid
warm flint
#

yeah, just gonna have to disagree, smite is not a good replacement for nerf to surge staff

tall mango
#

me when people are wrong

warm flint
#

you can like it, that's cool

untold vault
#

90% of the match I was just spamming assail. The only thing it cant do is boss dmg.

tall mango
#

can surge stun an entire horde forever? whatthefuck_heresy

untold vault
#

Why would you stun a horde?

warm flint
#

if you are talking about the left click hold with the buff, that is obviously a bug..

tall mango
untold vault
#

You stun specials

noble spoke
#

Check out my gun

tall mango
#

shield and huge CC

untold vault
#

Hordes arent worth stunning ever

tall mango
#

the specials are in the horde

shadow quail
#

You stun the specials and the horde

untold vault
#

You have the most op melee weapons in the game

dawn orchid
tall mango
#

it’s an adverse side effect of greatness

#

also i definitely wouldn’t say most OP

ionic needle
#

what perks and blessings do we go for on voidstrike with assail?

tall mango
#

zealots hammer exists and can one shot monstrosities

untold vault
#

MK1 VLD is where it's at

tidal violet
#

Sweet karkin' emperor does Assail feel good after Psyker sucking for a year straight.

whole oxide
#

tbh i don't see the reason to take Assail with Void, they're competing to do the same thing

#

Assail with Trauma, Smite with Void

ionic needle
#

Ah, makes sense

untold vault
#

You use assail with guns 🙂

fluid knot
#

It was straight up buffed

#

It can actually kill things now

dawn orchid
#

Has the lowest dps (pitifully low) of the three and the recons don’t appear to have been numerically buffed since last patch either.

white hemlock
#

tfw you were using voidstrike since before the buff and you now feel like a god

ionic needle
#

Perks and blessings for trauma then?

wanton sandal
#

if you dont icepick lobotomize your enemies, are you even a psyker?

#

also the new lines for assail are epic

fluid knot
untold vault
#

Shards can kill crushers

whole oxide
fluid knot
#

As for using assail with guns, sure, thats an option, but with the peril resistance feat and warp charges its relatively safe to use with Scriers

ionic needle
#

All assail really is missing is carapace and boss damage

untold vault
#

You just need to be using a revovler with rending

#

But I would never use assail with voidstrike

fluid knot
#

Void literally two shots them

dawn orchid
#

Void will probably get nerfed

fluid knot
#

Probably a bit yeah

ionic needle
#

Revolver sounds really fun

fluid knot
#

Its very strong at the moment

white hemlock
#

Void feels godly. I liked it before the buff and now it's cross

dawn orchid
#

I’m curious to see where smite lands when they fix INFINITE POWER with EP

white hemlock
#

gross*

shadow quail
#

Without the bug smite does eat up peril

untold vault
whole oxide
#

tbh, the only thing that seems broken about Void, when you compare it to other insane stuff that's available, is the Surge synergy with all the new traits

fluid knot
untold vault
#

They fixed hounds too

fluid knot
#

Yep, that is sooo nice

untold vault
#

Im extremely happy about that

dawn orchid
fluid knot
#

Pushes an dodges are actually reliable now for the first time in the games life

untold vault
#

I did heavy attack on hounds with the axe

wanton sandal
#

what guns are my assail psykers running?

untold vault
#

Worked pre patch

wanton sandal
#

i got a laspistol but idk bout it

fluid knot
fluid knot
dawn orchid
#

Shredder is no longer turbo OP

untold vault
#

Revolver with crit chance

#

And rending

fluid knot
#

Didnt fancy my chances with it with not superfast internet

untold vault
#

The trick is to never use the revolver and just hold it

#

Switch to assail

fluid knot
#

Im so glad that annoying shit weapon isnt in every lobby anymore

untold vault
#

Use it only if enemies are far far away and assail is not reliable anymore

tidal violet
#

Also glad to see that the consensus on Smite is that it's not great. I was worried I was missing something about it.

strong gulch
#

Is blaze trauma still a thing?
Do we have Blazing Spirit 4 yet?

dawn orchid
#

I mean, it was a really good weapon

tidal violet
#

Bummed I can't combo Shriek and Assail.

fluid knot
wanton sandal
#

the cc with empowered is STUPID

dawn orchid
#

ep is bugged

strong gulch
fluid knot
#

Arguably as good as Void in some respects, in others worse, but not by a huge amount

wanton sandal
#

exactly why its stupid

#

without the ep bug idk if i';d use it al ot tho

shadow quail
#

They need to fix the bug but I feel smite needs lower peril costs

ionic needle
#

I really liked shredder, but the new stuff is so cool

dawn orchid
#

People are trying to assess powerlevel without clear bugs likely to be fixed immediately

#

So on that end, it's eh

tall mango
#

I think they should add a -50% peril cost to EP for smite after removing the bug

dawn orchid
#

Think they should give it crit too so I can build surge/smite crit build

shadow quail
#

and void's damage i feel will be changed, is far too much

wanton sandal
#

yeah, llower peril smite might make me use it a lot more

shadow quail
#

Surge should be doing more because it's close range

languid tusk
#

i dont even have a voidstrike staff to test it XD

shadow quail
shadow quail
low badger
#

hey guys zealot player here if i wanted to play a melee oriented psyker is that possible

languid tusk
#

just had a maelstrom match where i could see the buffed spawn rates. had a wave of like 20 maulers

#

the evolved form of the mauler patrol

lyric burrow
#

is it just me or does smite feel really mid

wanton sandal
#

the cc is nutty but the damage is nothing

dawn orchid
lyric burrow
#

the stuns nice but i feel like i could use the other abilites/any staff and just kill it instead

wanton sandal
#

do NOT try to kill anything with it

#

its just a really useful team tool

tall mango
#

smite is a support psyker skill

lyric burrow
#

i was hoping it would at least kill hordes

low badger
wanton sandal
shadow quail
tall mango
#

i see three psykers, support, murder hobo, and murder everything hobo

wanton sandal
#

it is not reliable though

elfin crystal
#

the new throwing knives are pretty good

magic whale
#

A lot the psyker penances want me to use Brain Burst staregryn

tall mango
#

yeah they didn’t add any new penances

wanton sandal
elfin crystal
#

agreed

wanton sandal
#

the homing can feel wonky tho

elfin crystal
#

just spam em

languid tusk
#

just bought a white voidstrike staff from teh armory:

elfin crystal
#

one's bound to hit lmao

languid tusk
#

dont even have carapace perk lmao

shadow quail
#

Told you 😆

#

it's broken

lyric burrow
#

void is actually nutty

elfin crystal
#

is the 2 for 1 blessing worth it on void now or is it the same old setup?

shadow quail
#

It has to be bugged

languid tusk
#

the nuke staff

lyric burrow
#

yeah void actually feels like bugged

#

levels of broken

shadow quail
#

I don't see it staying this way for long

elfin crystal
#

a crit built surge staff is fucking deadly now

languid tusk
#

so you are saying investing all my 50k plasteel on the perfect voidstrike would be a bad idea ?

neat summit
#

There’s some funky interaction with the brain burst that’s giving free brain bursts

#

I e no peril bb

shadow quail
#

EP?

shadow quail
neat summit
#

Could be

snow coral
lyric burrow
snow coral
#

I think void feels good right now

dawn orchid
#

Yeah I'd wait until they get some patches out before doing big investing

snow coral
#

It's nice that a charge shot does something against more things than just trash

shadow quail
#

Void isn't good it's busted lol

lyric burrow
#

i dont think i need to be killing every elite and multiple elites per shot

#

it just does what surge was meant to

#

but 100x better

elfin crystal
#

i would say a lot of shit are overtuned tbf

#

the quell speed is nuts if you take the regen for it

#

for exemple

fluid knot
fluid knot
elfin crystal
#

i'm running my build in auric

tidal violet
#

Psyker is probably the only class without a "the melee build" build.

elfin crystal
#

it's hilarious

fluid knot
#

Well given how mental the director can be in Auric Maelstrom i'd say the powerlevel suits what it expects of you

#

Its balls to the wall now all the way, little to no breathers, an thats fantastic

elfin crystal
#

yeah maybe

long wharf
#

what's the point of the Auric missions?

low badger
# tidal violet Possible, not optimal.

mmmyeah i figured. still trying to figure out what i'd do between vet and psyker and i figure i conceptually like psyker more than vet... but i'm not much of a priority target killer

fluid knot
#

Difficulty

elfin crystal
#

that would make sense. i am als otechnically maxed so i guess that makes sense too

lyric burrow
#

yeah auric is fun

long wharf
#

in what way? the mission rewards aren't better

fluid knot
#

The director has less and less restraint

elfin crystal
#

they throw a lot of shit at you

fluid knot
#

Up to Maelstrom, where it has exactly zero now

elfin crystal
#

also nice to see deflector in the tree now

fluid knot
#

Nahh, thats kinetic shield, different to deflector

tropic timber
#

Is Assail over powered?

elfin crystal
#

oh oopsie

fluid knot
#

Its very good, i wouldnt say overpowered just yet, too early to really tell

wanton sandal
lyric burrow
#

assail is probably a little overtuned imo

elfin crystal
#

it is very good if you build for them to be spammable

wanton sandal
#

i use it for burst

lyric burrow
#

but not crazy

tidal violet
#

I'm riding this while I can.

elfin crystal
#

😔

fluid knot
spice veldt
#

p much

#

assail is pretty cracked for now

fluid knot
#

I been running it with Scriers, Warp Charges an peril resist, its great, dangerous, but great

wanton sandal
#

i do like using mind in motion now

lyric burrow
#

does scriers work with anything other than gunker

cyan notch
lyric burrow
#

well

fluid knot
#

Yeah works with everything, you just gotta be much more careful with letting your peril get high when not using a gun, which adds to the skill ceiling a lot in exchange for a lot mroe damage

long wharf
#

I've been comparing, not seeing more dockets for similar difficulties

untold vault
#

I think there is a bug with the stun shield. Sometimes the dog just walks through it

#

Other times the dog gets stunned

elfin crystal
#

i wish i could show the full tree i have, but basically i took the global damage nodes, more knives, efficiency and a couple other things and it just melts everything. i'm using the on crit effects and have bass boosted crits due to surge

untold vault
#

Every other special/elite gets stunned

tidal violet
#

Scriers is great, but I'm used to shriek saving me from peril and if I blink for too long I'm at 90%

spice veldt
#

the auric board simply guarantees hi-intensity missions

#

the maelstroms are what gives a bunch of dockets

tacit fractal
#

I’ve not touched Darktide in a hot bit, are the new class overhaul stuff even viable in T5 missions?

long wharf
#

ah okay

elfin crystal
#

wait what is that shit?

lyric burrow
#

loadouts

elfin crystal
#

oh aight thanks

wanton sandal
lyric burrow
untold vault
#

It actually made most T5 missions easier imo

tacit fractal
wanton sandal
#

yeah and far more fun

untold vault
#

Muties assailing ur team? Psyker presses F and they all run into a wall

tacit fractal
#

Wow, so I can play T5 missions without putting effort? Love it Fatshark

untold vault
#

That stuff even stops grenades in its tracks

#

Snipers and gunners? Trivialized

tacit fractal
#

Will probably feel like Cataclysm in V2 now with the boys aka fun and easy

untold vault
#

Of course i think the shield as an invisible hp bar so if you got 3 reapers shooting it + scab gunners it wont last long

wanton sandal
#

have yet to play maelstrom with the new update, but i imagine i can actually survive it now

tacit fractal
#

What’s maelstrom?

elfin crystal
#

here's what i run for what it's worth

wanton sandal
lyric burrow
#

very

elfin crystal
#

yeah

wanton sandal
#

im running warp charges and really appreciate the peril reduction, but idk about running ep

lyric burrow
#

shreds everything and keeps itself up

digital narwhal
elfin crystal
#

it's pretty stupid

digital narwhal
#

Just make sure you have the guaranteed charge on Elite kill option

lyric burrow
#

its like

#

old vet ult

#

in some ways

untold vault
#

It's broken op tier

#

Allows you to throw assail with more dmg, no peril cost and no ammo cost

lyric burrow
#

for the surge nexus build in void do you need to have t4 nexus or is t3 fine

untold vault
#

It's what allows you to "Spam" assail into elites/specials

broken quail
#

Anyone else notice getting stacks of disrupt destiny without any blue highlighted enemies? I think there might be bug not lighting em up every time

tidal violet
#

They really need a way to export/share your talents that isn't so . . .quirky.

elfin crystal

also this 👌

true lake

is this any good for gun psyker?

wanton sandal
true lake
#

never tried gun psyker much

true lake
#

just not sure if those blessings are any good or not

untold vault
#

and replace specialists with maniac if you play auric/T5

true lake
#

what might you recommend to replace speedload with

untold vault
#

Pinning fire

tacit fractal
#

Gun Spyker is entertaining and pretty simple in T5 and in T4 it’s effortless imo

true lake
#

pinning fire, will keep an eye out for it

tacit fractal
#

Tradeoff is ammo management for the team cause yknow, you’re not using the Warp for ranged power

true lake
#

my usual malice difficulty feels so easy now after update so been looking at possible builds to experiment with

untold vault
#

It used to be

Blaze away + Pinning fire
Maniac + unarmored/flak

#

Idk if it changed

true lake
#

not that i know of

wanton sandal
#

do we no longer have cerebral lacerations for bb?

it got put into a new talent

the voidstrike is so broken holy fuck

what guns are good besides the auto pistol? I'm thinking anything that can land good crits but still decently precise

I'm not convinced autopistol is too great currently

Nerfs hit it hard and you have a lot of trouble against carapace

BB takes 3 hits to kill a crusher now

and voidstrike also takes 3 lol

harsh urchin
#

I havent tried out vs yet

#

But new surge is great

nocturne badge
#

80% damage voidstrike is literally firing 1300 damage bowling balls that ignore everything

harsh urchin
#

I'm also considering dropping illisi for dueling sword

#

Because of how disgusting the dueling sword is now

nocturne badge
#

they deal damage thru bulwark shield, they deal full damage to carapace

#

you can oneshot anything that isn't a mutant or ogyrn with a void strike it's supremely goofy

harsh urchin
#

Is it still target capped at 6

nocturne badge
#

i'd have to double check, but i think it got more cleave too

primal plume

holy shit

bold patrol
#

Yeah but it's a machine gun

nocturne badge

if you need horde clear run it with assail

and wildfire shout

harsh urchin
#

I have some ideas with VS but need to experiment with it lol

primal plume
#

the smite pushback after casting pushes enemies into the direction youre facing. meaning you can fling enemies off ledges

Is slaught still the go to for swords they seemed to have nerfed it a bit*

whole oxide
#

void cleave went from 7 to 11 it looks like

harsh urchin
#

Oh thats quite good

#

Does it do 1300 to all enemies

ornate hamlet
#

Now wait a fucking minute

#

With scrier's gaze depending on the player not being at 100% peril

#

Does this mean exorcist is now a poggers blessing?

harsh urchin
whole oxide
#

the way scriers works, the peril-gain ramps up really hard after a while, so there's no way you can sustain it for long

harsh urchin
#

So you cant really stop it from capping

#

It makes more sense on a completely non peril build

#

And just get 22% cdr

#

For perma uptime

potent echo
#

crit purg is kind of busted

harsh urchin
#

22% will reduce cd to 23 seconds so you only need 13 seconds of uptime

also damage goes brrrr i dont even need to swap to melee

cyan notch
#

what is ghost

potent echo
#

dogs die trappers die

harsh urchin
#

Crits make u dodge

potent echo
#

psyker has a new node that gives you invul to ranged damage for 1sec on crit

#

purg hits so often and with nexus and crit nodes you basically are invul to ranged

#

i add on scrier because im trying it out but with that you can also melt entire mauler patrols

harsh urchin
#

I'm a little bit doubtful cuz purg has never really had issues with ranged anyways

#

And it melts mauler patrols baseline

potent echo
#

they buffed mauler hp now tho KEKW_ogryn

#

so you get back to baseline

#

scrier probably not optimal, but its fun for now

south canopy
#

Assail is decent

#

I can absolutely see it getting nerfed soon

potent echo
#

assail is... ok

bold patrol
#

Purg has terrible range

potent echo
#

same issue as surge, its bad during high pressure situations

#

when theres a trapper in a horde and you just throwing knives you dont really kill anything

harsh urchin
#

Umm

potent echo
#

its good for killing shooters

harsh urchin
#

You can aim it you know

potent echo
#

yea

harsh urchin
#

And trappers are like

potent echo
#

but i can just brain burst

harsh urchin
#

Ignore worthy

#

Because they don't actually do anything

potent echo
#

i seen enough psykers throwing their little knvies and not killing anything

eager gorge
#

So, what's the verdict on Push versus shield?

potent echo
#

i used it twice and its nice during ambient, but bad during horde+anything

bold patrol
#

I like push

eager gorge
#

I've not played a lot of Psyker, out of the 3 at the very bottom of your choices--

Warp Siphon, Empowered, and Disrupt Destiny, what's the vibes rn?

harsh urchin

Why dont you try em

bold patrol
#

Depends on your build

harsh urchin

Instead of listening to random scrubs here on discord who might suck

eager gorge
#

Well, I'm asking opinions, etc because the opinions have been wild depending on who I ask.

#

So I'm consolidating opinions/info.

cyan notch

u can just decide for urself

bold patrol
#

Yeah it comes down mostly to personal prefence and playstyle

cyan notch
#

its only been a couple hours

bold patrol
#

I have been play psyker since beta and I prefer a ranged style, but some people like playing more front line

mint oracle

warp siphon seems kinda buggy, testing it w/dome shield in psykhanium and dropping shield with literally any warp charges immediately refunds its whole CD derpeline

Okay the auto pistol still bangs

But damn the ammo

fresh reef

been playing with my rookie friends for the entire patch so far
is Assail as busted as it feels in Uprising/Malice?

@potent echo Ayo? The knives shred everything that isn't carpace, They demolish groups too. Maybe you specced wrong?

Yes.

I used a t3 to test mods and assial was just dumb. On a t5 I had 150k more damage the next person.

I did a 1650 crit on crusher with revolver with psyker

Not buffed

Psyker dome/shield can negate sniper shields too

You can do the same thing with the shield

Dodge out of harm while the shield covers you

ok i rolled this up to transcendant

Yea but the shield itself cant dodge so it eats a bajillion damage and breaks quickly

Also the dome takes a fair bit more dmg than the normal shield one

dunno if that is a good roll

By shield i mean dome in this case

i just had my friend do the entire second half of a mission using that the entire time with no peril gen

They need to nerf assail too

Along with voidstrike

assail is only "broken" due to damage really

Literally no shot Assail doesn't get nerfed. Enjoy it for now lmao

true lake

infinite smite is literally broken

lethal lagoon

But without damage, why use it over smite or BB?

Needs just a longer CD or something

untold vault

It would still oneshot packs of shotgunners, gunners etc

long wharf

actually, I think Assail is in a good place

true lake

assail is pretty good imo

long wharf

it's not a "kill everything without effort" button

it sucks against anything with armor

its just a really good horde clear

it's decent horde clear, not great

spice veldt

assail is absolutely overtuned

untold vault

Why do you think Im running revolver psyker

spice veldt

autoaim weapon lmao

untold vault

70% rending on crit

it turns psyker from a "kill crushers/specials" into "horde management"

What do you consider "great" horde clear then, Ogryn's nuke?

long wharf

Purge staff

lethal lagoon

purgatus wasnt really buffed much or anything like that

assail isn't only hordecleat

I didn't say it was

warped kernel

i disagree, assail is really good at killing specialists and all non armored elites

spice veldt

it will kill the human elites easily

long wharf

Purge was majorly buffed

untold vault

Assail kills elites, specials and light hordes

true lake

assail isnt perfect for horde clear due to the whole ammo thing

south canopy

Assail will absolutely destroy anything that doesn't have armor

warped kernel

i'd rather it wasn't nerfed but i'd accept if it was

south canopy
#

It's a point and click

true lake

but its really good at what it does, i wouldnt call it broken

untold vault

It is if it's a mixed horde

spice veldt

it's fine if you mix in melees

untold vault
#

Just bust out your illisi

spice veldt
#

because assail has a quick swap timer

warped kernel
#

interesting to see what nerfs they do end up bringing

true lake
#

ok but i rather not get up close to a horde of who knows what with an illisi

#

easier to chew through most of the fodder then deal with the stragglers

#

get rid of the basic bitches then you can illisi the leftovers that are actually threats a bit more

cyan notch
#

wtf theres no human elites

#

theyre zombies

true lake
#

i can guarantee they will nerf how empowered psionics works with smite though

south canopy
#

I hope they buff everything instead

true lake

it is actually broken you can just hold the thing forever

untold vault
#

Illisi was and still is one of the best melee weapons in the game

true lake

tbh i prefer deimos

okay, the bubble spam is real

true lake

just preference in attack patterns

keen harbor

I tried it out in a damnation match

Here's me completing auric maelstrom with Revolver - Illisi assail

i know illisi is "the meta" or whatever but deimos with slaughtere and deflector is just more my style

too bad for the deimos that the mk IV duellies exist now

untold vault

Deimos is also meta

south canopy

Use whatever is fun tbh

Deimos + illisi were psyker's best weapons before patch

would try mk iv duel but i dont like the duel specials

untold vault

Now the Duelist sword got added

the devil claw

celest hedge

deimos is just the dueling sword with the charge special, so it just feels great

true lake
#

an actual devil claw user?

spice veldt
viral solstice
#

the deimos is just a bad duelling sword 4 in this patch but it will take a while to filter through

forest loom
#

Does anyone feel smite is really underpowered? In contrast, Assail is the wildest OP shit in the game thus far.

celest hedge
#

dueling sword was pretty much saltz' rapier which is why I used it all the time

spice veldt
#

check the mk IV heavies and compare them to the deimos

true lake

imma be honest that devil claw video does make it look interesting, but with this update there are so many options for crushers specifically

But I can absolutely see this getting nerfed

not all blitz need to do insane damage

I always feel like crushers were never the issue

I don't think this is optimal at all

But it is kinda funny

crushers are definitely not the issue anymore

It never was before patch either

celest hedge

30% quell speed feels insane, I can totally see running a gun being more appealing when you don't need the staff bonus

true lake

its mainly enemies that can put you down quick like snipers, bombers, and trappers

smite feels like an inbetwee of BB and assail but it doesn't looking appealing to me

untold vault

Muties, hounds, flamers, trappers and grenadiers were more important

flint pawn

Accidentally got a 0 damage taken match lol

untold vault
#

Grenadiers also got nerfed

forest loom
# arctic bloom i rather like smite

It has the coolest animations, to be sure, but the actual damage potential needs to be much higher. You can't just not be able to kill things in a tide game; even if you're a support class.

they dont seem nerfed?

very balanced as you can see

viral solstice

this is actual new brutal momentum

untold vault

Im pretty sure that isnt possible on classes that isnt zealot

destiny feels very interesting, randomly making an enemy grant 10% toughness on kill is nice and speed is always good

So yeah absolutely nothing has changed

Except that shitters will cry

untold vault

My BM axe doesnt cleave like that in hordes

dense ivy
#

Ten outta ten Disrupt Destiny looks like garbagio

#

Why shouldn't I just stack +60 toughness on my Psyker

ornate hamlet
#

Okay, I misrepresented dueling sword this patch

#

The increased killing power mingles well with the attack speed and gives it a fairly nice horde clear

celest hedge
#

they really gave us 20 different toughness regen skills this patch

ornate hamlet
#

One-shotting poxwalkers really be bringing it up a notch

untold vault
#

Overall I think this patch was a massive upgrade, theyll need to tweak the balance side a bit but I feel like we finally exited Early Access mode.

celest hedge
#

yep, dueling sword is fast swings with good headshot damage with a pattern that nails the head easily, it's the verm 2 rapier

dense ivy
#

I wish certain trees didn't lock you out

#

Like left side skills lock you out of right side and vice versa

#

Very annoying, I don't care about the minor stuff but a choice earlier shouldn't limit your ability to choose 3 levels later too

untold vault
#

some combo's would be broken tho

dense ivy
#

How

celest hedge
#

i'd love to get psykentic's aura on my assial/shield build

#

but passive 10% ult recharge speed will have to do

dense ivy
#

How is mind in motion going to be gamebreaking

#

Or Wildfyre

#

These skills are shiiiit

#

But kinda funny

#

You also can't use venting shriek and disrupt destiny together but I'm just not seeing how that would be a problem

cold wing
#

is it just me or is soulblaze still crap

dense ivy
#

Scrier's Gaze is the only real case I can see since that's a damage boost, and the Warp Siphon tree also is a damage boost, but you can still take Warp Rider regardless which is an even bigger damage boost than Warp Siphon

It's still crap yes

snow coral

what's the dump stat on the revolver? mobility?

Yes

also did they increase the perils delay?
