dont use dome
so that's why I don't see any "Mark"
Actually
They're just bugged with wall
The best part is that 2x wall unbugs it
Warp Charges with Scrier's also doesn't work
i meant the image i posted, but seems left is consensus
Since Warp Rider is bugged, you can take True Aim
that's mean we only play 2/3 of our psyker potential lol
Warp Rider is bugged?
apparently Warp Rider only does 8%
disrupt destiny will still mark enemies, but the bug is that marked enemies will not glow for whatever reason
i mean it's the only way atm
so the process of killing your marked enemy is random instead of being some deterministic thing that you're aiming to do
the topic gone too far lol
I really hate that all Psyker keystones are based on killing things
tbh, i'm kind of fine with it
psyker's neutral game just seems to be insanely strong
Assail all but assures you get the kill
Well I did run builds without keystones and its still fine
They keystones are actually pretty underwhelming
disrupt destiny is basically a map rushing keystone
but even then bruisers will spawn in events and allow you to maintain stacks
i like it so far
... why would you not take a keystone?
Because there's better stuff to take
left side?
on the right side, you'll have more than enough points to spend into your keystones
I mean I have points
Yeah, warp charges are still very effective
so glad they did this big update for me to spec my pskyer literally exactly the same as before this update
I just found that for that build it wasn't worth it
I saw someone pick only 1 on warp charge and go to otherthings
Mostly because the only keystone I'd take is warp charges
Vanessa your wierd for a sibling ngl
But I want to run dome
I don't see much being added by any other class atm at high diff, than just another psyker
Veterans don't even have keystones
amongus
What
Trying to summon Darcy I see.
zealot/ogryn seem pretty strong
who tf is dracy
vanessa's a zealot main i'm pretty sure
zealot is insane now
are you a zealot main vanessa
Sad about Veteran
it really isnt
I agree with that, vet last keystone is not worth 😂
they leaned way into zealot being a raging melee class and it's bonkers now
I don't main any class, I just don't play Ogryn much
They don't have a keystone
i'll record that as a zealot main
It's literally not a keystone node
look i have all 30s, 500+ gear, psyker is S tier
I mean last skill on the tree

pskyer always was S tier
Yeah those are Ability nodes
i too am a zealot main
You can even lock out of one of the nodes by taking another for the invisibility
my poor english ._.
Which is hilarious
I mean, yeah. That's cool 👌but like we do and they are fun and useful and there's no reason to not use them
naw early days - SS was insane
i dont notice a diffy with ps but all the guns feel kinda shit now
Except that as I said I found other nodes more valuable so I took those instead

Rlly found mind in motion more useful?
Yeah actually
Girl cmon now
so much freedom in skill tree comes with infinite of argument 😂
I just won't use warp charges with dome rn and as the game is I don't get warp charges unless I run Assail
until damage stats come out 😮
Because otherwise I get a Psyker with assail taking all the kills
ya
I obviously run it on other builds though
i mean like dome is legit on auric
Lmfao two psykers running EP smite is so funny
But purgatus + smite + dome. Other than abusing dome spam its like 
I don't even care about dmg run what you want but like I've got standards (who dosent pick a keystone???)
but under that everyone is just fucking around everywhere so w/e
Dude people run Empowered on Smite so idk what to say

just dodging everywhere in an attempt to maintain the charge
Shouldn'tve said that when van is here smh 
I think people run EP on smite cause of inf bug
otherwise I would probs agree with you
nah i dont know if i can agree on literally stunning everything but bosses and a very few other enemies for inf is bad
yeah i run smite but quit with EP because it's boring
boring yes bad no
running warp siphon with shields and I'm generally always able to proc them when needed
But to each their own :))
i think when people say its bad they mean bad for balance not bad as in not useful but idk i'm not in their heads.
its bad for fps if anything lmao
It's not more useful to infinite spam than actual killing stuff
What difficulty
i can agree with that although my PC could use an update. and also yea that's fair i just personally don't like smite whatsoever because assail and bb are at least a bit interactive.
t5
did they fuck with purg staff
what GPU are you running? I have not noticed an FPS drop at all with smite
RTX 3060ti
one had void and one had surge
I'm on a steam deck and haven't seen drops from smite
I feel like assail and smite are both the same levels of interactive... which is point and click. At least with BB you have to try to target the specials to get them
getting close to a psyker using smite annihilates my frames
I wonder if it's only other players that it affects?
this was the only time, mightve just been a hiccup from my pc and not anything aboput smite
I've noticed a lot of smoke clouds when others do it, I don't see those when I cast it
rooms turn into raves when others are smiting
assail benefits from aiming at head level IME which is a very small thing but makes it less boring than smite for me. at the end of the day its all personal pref
really wanna try BB but I'm not sure how to approach it
No warp charge from every kill is very lame
Feels super wasteful to use it on anything common
i don't think the idea behind bb has ever been to use it on anything common has it 
Warp charges were awesome
isnt there a skill that makes BB proc randomly? Like a passive?
10%
Be able to use commons to keep them up so you could maintain your damage boost was nice
ok jesus the maelstrom with mostly melee and only scab is maybe a bit much
Yeah 10% of a warp charge is definitely not worth a Bb
Also the 10% is only if there's warp fire
bb kill doesn't give warp charge anymore?
The any kill perk is like 4%
Only a lead n special
oh right
Elite
terrible change
Purg staff has been the only way I can comfortably keep warp charges up
i've only tried 1 bb build and am pretty new to psyker but i didn't find maintaining warp charges very hard except on a low int i got qp'd into, specials and elites are basically everywhere. Although I don't spam shriek so i wasn't dumping all of them away every 20 seconds either.
what blitz with purg staff
if anything the real problem is getting ks'd by some guy with his wizard knives flying around
Yep, the fact that it has to be your kill is so lame
thats why DD feels so annoying to run rn
I'm pretty sure warp fire still counts anyone's kill as long as it's your warp fire
it would be nice if it gave you a stack if you were at like 50% of a bb charge or more on an enemy and it died
but i also suck at psyker so that's probably a skill issued opinion 
i just need to target prioritize more
My biggest problem when playing BB, I dont get to kill any specials cause they get stolen
What would the best curios for psyker be?
and pray that john hellbore doesn't delete the thing i'm trying to kill from across the map
what blitz were you using with purg
Shout, cuz I went every warp fire perk
But honestly shards is probably better so you have actual long-range damage
yes
you went BB with purg tho right?
toughness and health are both valid. i think people in this channel like health more (general consensus i saw last time it was asked), i use toughness.
can spite crit?
Ok thx!
smite
bb is fucking trash if it doesn't give you a warp charge anymore lmao
I go one wound and two health
i would honestly say you can strike a middle ground and go like HHT or something
oh yea you can also take wounds ig
i think i have a wound on right now because i'm waiting for another 17% toughness curio lol
Yeah, warp charge is a separate thing. Any elite or special kill gives one, then side grade perks to make it 4% for any kill or 10% for any warped fire kill
And by default it just reduces the cooldown of your ult
what the hell is the smite right click used for?
Peril reduction and damage are upgrade perks
Mass chain stagger
6 stacks is an upgrade perk
cant you get warp charges from being in coherency with team also?
can it crit?
Yeah, I think the 4% is you or anyone elses kill
Not sure, haven’t used it much,
I'm not at my computer right now
Its very low damage while you hold down the right click. Until you let go. I think with psionics on, you can just hold that shit forever
i managed to keep my charges up pretty consistently on damnation just staying close to team
Well now that you need to be the one who deals a finishing blow to an elite or special, it's much more important
Not sure but probably? Its still an attack. I think it has like a chance to crit on any enemy every tick
And honestly for unarmed uncommons, shards are better than BB for getting last hits
But dont take my word for it Nixie
So idk what bb is for anymore
you can just try it out in psychanium
doesnt seem like it
sooo crits are useless for it. got it.
Does the game pick a damage type when you hit an enemy, say on a scab Rager will you only get one of flak/maniac bonus or does it give you both
i still think BB is valid with purg but it def isnt as strong as just going assail and void
Or wait, scab ragers are flak right
is assail and void just the best option?
Play what you find fun
you can make almost anything work
Easiest probably, all of them are viable
i just think brain blast sucks and i havent got the flame staff yet
well maybe not on auric t5 but
I played smite and void until i got to 30, now im trying out a bunch of different playstyles and builds
Boss maybe?
I played smite cause i found the playstyle fun and it worked on damnation so just play whatever you find fun and engaging, otherwise youll just burnout
I definitely get more damage using assail than BB but BB is fine when you already have a lot of horde clear on the team. Good for picking off distant enemies and basically oneshots everything but big lads
only issue is, is that 2 of my friends play ogrin so i rarely need to stun things lol
i find the assail shard miss alot. is there a range to use them?
Then try out BB or assail, anything is valid. Or stay on smite, help your friends CC so enemies are easy to pick off
Aim at the enemy you want to die's head. They're kind of like laser guided missiles with a bit of their own self targetting
Shards go where youre pointing your mouse
is there reason to sears aura for yourself?
Like if there's a big horde in front of you you can just throw a bunch in and they'll do work, but if you're trying to pick an enemy out of a group you need a modicum of aim, or right click
yeah i try to right click if im targeting specials. but doesnt one shot 😦
It doesn't oneshot
just spam and aim at the enemy you wanna pick off, worked for me
Honestly, the chain headshot into crit talent is really good for shards
The ability is designed to be spammed basically
Cuz the crit shard crits on every hit
In the shards aim for heads anyway
So like every fourth shard crits everything it hits
is purgatus staff good for t4?
sure
does anyone know if psychic abilities count as ranged damage, wondering if they get buffed by the perks that buff ranged damage by 5%
its so weird seeing surge actually doing damage
does the fire staff work for soulblaze builds?
Yes
No
does higher difficulty actually give you more stuff?
thoughts/suggestions? there's a few things i'm up in the air on but wanted second opinion
I go warp charges for assail, I felt like EP was underwhelming
i like EP but understandable, i have only tried warp for bb and smite
is dome shield just really good?
Works wonders imo
yes
how do you build warp keystone tree
especially with warp charges which makes it so you can have basically infinite uptime on shield
once i get the fire staff i was gonna mess with venting shriek for soulblaze
give me a sec
What’s the best staff for Elites (and hopefully bosses)
i did this but not sure
also i find melee is overwhelmingly better dps than any staff
Shard is my blitz.
Aight, thanks.
also how do i get to true aim, i feel liek soulstealer is too big to ditch but its the only node i can really lose
its bugged right now so not many people use it and i don't thinkanyone likes it 
conceptually it seems cool though
holy shit dude assail is so busted
bugged how?
this is my infinite shield buiöd
ahh no perilous combustion i see
well idk if bugged but i've heard the marks jump around in a rather scuffed manner
with mk iv duelling sword and surge staff
auto homing, high damage, piercing projectile
it just does everything for you lmao
What’s the best melee for bosses?
dont really know what most people feel like is best but i use mk IV or mk V duelling sword
I see, aight.
ight i'll try this, cool. only a few nodes off from what i had in mind. i guess you don't find true aim worth it? i have mixed feelings about it
Nah not really
what does a god roll mk IV duelling sword look like?
i dont lose much by loosing that node
what is considered a "warp attack"
blitz, probably also venting shriek, dont know about staves though so ill say maybe on those
oof just got a Vraks with amazing stats, and then the blessings and perks all rolled trash
wonder how good/bad the stagger is
is that gun good?
for a gunker yes
ah, im trying to make a herratic flame purging build
it can 1 clip plague ogryn with all headshots with the right blessings
Does anyone happen to know what works well with Brain Blast? I simply don't wish to use Assail in principle, because I believe it is making things less fun for my friends since I tend to just delete hordes before they even aggro. Also, thoughts on Purgatus staff?
i only take assail on assail builds, otherwise i take BR or Smite
here is my purgatus build
Is the Smite bug something you have to spec into? I don't really even know what it is.
that was LITERALLY what i was gonna use when i get high enough ❤️
Smite is a cc tool, its best used to lockdown a group of enemies so your allies can take them out
Yes, its the last keystone
how is your screen zoomed out?
Why is it condensed like a can of soup
check the above link
The purples? As in, disrupt destiny? Or the Blitz modification?
in fire better than vamp tho?
if you are lighting everything on fire, than you get warp charges constantly
cause it only matters that they die when on fire
The purples yes, EP, the middle one
Cool, just wanted to avoid it, not much a fan of exploits and the like
as long as they have the debuff it triggers?
Ty
yep
not sure why fatshark doesnt just change the tooltip to say as much tho
well thats fatshark for you
hello siblings how goes the peril
and i guess all the burn crits count for the crit shits right
mindnumbingly unfathomable
when you crit with purga staff, it applies double stacks
some tylenol oughta fix that
im constantly edging to hear what the demons want to tell me
Lightning storm also affect Surge, but does Enfeeble also affect Surge?
howre people enjoying the mk4 dueling sword this patch
think i already saw the answer but whats the "best" melee weapon for psyker
not 100% sure, but it does boost everyone elses damage against the targets that you lock down
depends on what you want your melee weapon for
if you want to horde clear, Illisi
if you want to kill a single target, Deimos/dueling sword
if you want to dodge around and apply bleed stacks, dagger
hey psykers
Does smite not cause peril to charge when you have Empowered Psionics up? I tried checking mid match and it seems that when you have a charge of EP that it consistently doesn't build peril, even though it isn't listed as a feature
i tend to only use melee to clear stuff that gets right on top of me
its either a bug, or intended 😄
Secret intended feature :)
its a last resort weapon after my staff and blitz
eerrmmmm ahcktually we’re already one with the warp
psykers when they get their hands on assail
psyker loser blew up reading that
if its alot of trash mobs, than illisi can do it
if its usualy maulers/crushers or ragers, and its only 1 or 2, Dueling sword has mobility and single target damage, deimos has single target damage while also having the blessing deflector to block gunners
Smite is neato for cc
well i already use the illisi so ive tried that ill have to give the dueling sword a shot
its very good for that, nothing else can cc a room like it can
smite stun locking everything
underrated af
thanks by the way @viscid matrix
mutant stun sound
so this is finenow right?
i wish you could view the available blessings when you rebless i hardly know whats available for this shiut
no shit
staff doesnt matter much atm though man
i was gonna millionaire my surge but why bother
i assume low finesse bricks this
whoever told me to swap to warp assail btw thank you, idk if its better but its definitely more fun
I wouldn't say its bricked, just not ideal
cleave is dump right?
4 does
cleave is the dumpstat, yes
'cos the difference it actually makes to cleaving is tiny
https://i.gyazo.com/f00383fc07742940231b23aeec305c90.jpg is this worth picking up as a fresh 30 psyker?
yes, just for Uncanny IV, which is by far the best DS blessing
yes, the dmg may not be in the 70's but that DS rocks.
guys i think i made the sexiest smite build
so far this build has been keeping my entire team walking through damnation like a cake walk
and when i randomly get 100% warp resistance a horde doesnt stand a chance
Don’t let vet chat hear you say that
didn't dclaw get buffed a bit
It did
operative bound
It’s parry is absolutely cracked rn
and by extension weapon (type) bound
Devils claw parry colorized
read weapon name and if the words after the MK# don't match blessings won't be shared
You can parry anything up to crushers, not sure about monsters because I don’t run claw
you should be able to
including crushers or just up to? i assume you can't parry the overhead from them
16 Views. Watch a lot to be said about crushers and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
huh
on replenish 15 percent toughness on warp attack kill does that mean if i kill with an assail missile the passive will proc?
basically anything that generates peril should be a warp attack im fairly sure
so it should work
yea assail is warp attacks. im curious now whether empowered force sword attacks trigger it
What perks for mk IV duelling?
Yes
what does the staff you use look like?
this tanky shield build is gonna be amazing
I bet shards synergize with shotguns nicely
Need to try that
And if you can time the guaranteed crit built up with shards
Hit the big boom
I build a vet for assail voidstrike shield meta and all I get are surge smite psykers 
when i play burn build, its this
how does earning blessing work?
it sacrifices the weapon to put the blessing in the book, so you can put that blessing on any other weapon of the same type
only of that weapon or weapon class?
weapon class kinda. staffs don't sahre though
weapon class, like all autoguns will use the same blessings, all dueling swords will use the same blessings
unfortunatly for staves, each stave is a differnt class
Voidstrike and stunlock beasts of nurgle if you hit their weak point
lol, lmao even
works on the other monstrosities too
what do each of the staff names do? I have trouble keeping them straight, purg = burn, force/trauma are?
trauma is the circle staff you slam on the ground
oh, dont like that one, seems awkward
do you guys prefer voidstaff or surge staff when using assails ?
void is stronger atm but its mostly preference
surge is lighting?
yeah
void is the better pairing atm for anti armor
lightning*
next question then...what would be a good voidstaff to look out for on a fresh 30 ?
surge/warp nexus is good
but the base staff is good so if you get a good roll it will do well till you can get the blessings
what 3 blessings should I go for on curios for a psyker?
gunner resist/sniper resist/+ health or toughness/toughness regen are all good
Trying out Psyker for the first time
right right, I mean like the primary stat?
are staffs counted as warp damage?
yes
if it generates peril it is a warp attack
this isn't true lol
is it not 👀
they are account bound
it isn't operative bound
its account bound but it is based off weapon family/type
so for example Infernus on an infantry lasgun won't be accessible to a helbore lasgun or a recon lasgun, nor the las pistol
but it is accessible to all infantry lasguns across all classes, so mg 12, mg Ia, mg IV, etc. etc.
In short: It's a mildly annoying system.
do note for psykers that each staff is considered its own weapon family
It would be interesting to get different marks of each staff type with minor differences between them for variety
but hey if you for wte reason want to run a vraks 3 gun psyker build and you've been rolling vraks 3's on vet then congrats
you are in luck
mb i could've sworn i'd gotten a blessing off of a chain sword and it didn't appear for chainswords on another char i had
maybe i took it off an evi 
dont wanna use a gun but...
So, I'm trying to jump in with an assail build (with surge force staff in the back hand) because it seems like assail is the least gear requiring. What's the general gameplay? am I supposed to just spam left click? Hold right click? Keep F ability for emergency quells? What's the general gameplay loop?
(also what do I want on curios?)
which staff is best for melting tanky specials?
Man, I been trying out smite and it is so good. Stun lock entire hoards as your teammates cut through them.
My friends are like, "this is going to get nerfed"
yeah its pretty crazy
turns things that would be scary into a joke
Psyker mains are cool, until they start using that stupid Yondu arrow thing
That thing is stupid and has stolen kills from me I needed to live or keep a buff going

w assail
Even as a Psyker I dislike assail
you spam left click into hordes. the shards follow your pointer, so you can easily chain it into elites as well. You use right click when the target is near the 50m limit of the shards.
There's almost no downtime to use another weapon, so shield or vent is prefered
Assail is a general-purpose tool for dealing with smaller stuff, you can spam it against anything non-elite. left click and right click do same damage, one is faster casting, one is more accurate
Yeah. Then you stack them with all the passives that boost warp damage and your smite are dropping entire hoards when you have all the stacks proc'd with smite
assail is too good against elites. like 3 shards will drop most of them on damnation
Shield?
Ah. Don't use that, currently.
The issue with vent + assail, is that you will have a lot of time with no shards in inventory
Yeah, I was gonna ask, what do I do when I spammed out all my shards?
use your staff
Even without vent, you can spam 10 shards and do 1-2 charged voidstrike shots, and you won't max out peril, once you get Empowerd Psyonics or Warp Siphon
Staffs are for losers real psykers cast gun
I think you can maybe get 2-4 surge staff shots off
😎
As for the curios thing, any specifc stats I should look out for on curios?
^^ wanted to know this too
For curios, it's down to prefernce. I pack +20%HP, +1 wound, and +3 stamina
health and toughness are both good, a single stamina one can be nice too, don't go for wounds if possible
No wounds?
Wounds make sense in this patch though. There are enough support skills to make an opening so you can revive
take one wound if you really must, more than one is gimping yourself
Is it just me or is the shield bubble super super useful
Am I crazy or does it seem like this feat spawns in enemies for you to kill. Like sometimes a marked enemy just seems to materialize out of thin air.
no, the spawn in bug has been around for a while now
I see finding high ilvl in the shop is still difficult.
Doesn't it order from highest to lowest in the shop
359 can be perfectly good, don't fixate on the overall rating
a 350 with good stat distribution is better than 380 with bad distribution
Oh speaking of bug have any of y'all that used the krieg coat noticed that when you wind up a power attack with the claw sword your left arm floats in front of you? (At sorta high fov)
I have no Idea how I got those back in the day. :D
Is that a normal thing or is it coat specific
Highest level weapon i have is like 503 on zealot
Oh wait, that's not the base level. Duh.
again, the rating doesn't really mean anything, a 530 can be garbage, a 450 can be great
I rolled a bunch of axes the other day and the best one was like 3rd highest
And the second best one was in the lower half
I see they changed quickplay to give extra resources.
It's done that for a bit
What's auric?
auric is just harder modifiers
its more for challenge, it doesn't give anything extra
guaranteed HISTG
I'll do a regular to get back into it.
Auric is for people who are bored of regular damnation and want something different to play.
P sure game is harder this patch anyway
People dropping like flies in regular damnation
If you have competent players, a regular damnation can be a walk in the park
also helps when you have 2 assail psykers, gungryn and support zealot
Pretty sure that's because the game is flooded with rusty players right now
That would also make sense
how's the psyker weapon selection for damnation post patch?
Voidstrike Trauma Surge for normies... guns for... redacted
i use this meme sword for soulfire
Now that's funny
went out of my way to get the apparently only one crit chance node
Fairly sure it only applies soul fire to the first enemy hit
Isn't there a simple crit chance passive in the top right
so say someone is a vet main playing psyker, what would be best for them?
I have that and was thoroughly disappointed
no it's just toughness on crit hits and movespeed
voidstrike is pretty fun now
Voidsstrike is ridiculous now
Voidstrike is stronger than bolter or plasma. 
voidstrike staff, Assail+Bubble Shield+Warp Siphon for you skill tree
Tbh, the blitz on voidstrike doesn't matter right now
melee weapon: Illis, or Dueling Mk4 or 5
God I really don't like warp siphon this patch
I just run brain burst since sometimes I can't reach something
won't Wildfire help proc it? it's also not my only source. i got purgutus too
I'm currently running brain burst, bubble shield, empowered psionics
if you use assail for killing all weaker specials / hordes is there any reason not to just bring a voidstrike staff to nuke the tankier specials?
After.your special kill, you get 100% crit chance, and it literally gets applied to a single enemy ime
Cuz fire is neat
Really disappointed when that happened to me
Yeah assail for everything. Void for crusher and bulwark.
thats what i figured
i'm talking about Wildfire..
Artillery psyker
Yesterday I play a round with 90% assail, 5% void and 5% sword usage.
lol Assail needs a nerf
Was so chill just spam left click.
Assail and VS seem a bit overdone rn
i'll never use the shield
bit of a off topic question but this chat seems super helpful, i see alot of people running a while range of mods since iv came back...what are the "must have" mods in your option ?
Both need a nerf indeed. 
I wish warpfire talents were more centralized
ofc the one time i make a comment on someones build (saying assail isnt a good choice really for a melee scab maelstrom), i suddenly become dogshit, so i end up looking like a tool
I was with 3 zealots with my crit build surge voidstrike, and I legitimately did 600k damage while the next guy did like 300k. On top of like double the specials and elites than the next guy
Shards is probably the single strongest point you can spend
my ABSOLUTE must have is just Numeric UI and Hub Hotkeys
But the other blitzes are still fun
people really be complaigning about assail when vets have infinite ammo recon las lmao
Zealot needs to play very aggressively to find kills.
That's the secret. It's not about how dog shit you are on the outside, it's how dog shit you are on the inside that matters ❤️
But they are fast af this patch.
Both are issues, but vet is sorta lacking in options at the moment
vet shout ability needs a bit of a buff, IMO
Assail is just "slap onto build. I can horde clear"
vet has pretty cool abilities, the shout can absolutely be clutch too
Tru. Ogryn taunt shout so much better than vet.
plus its a lotta fun bringing a multi las to a gunfight
i was just trying to be helpful (since the game currently suffers from "use assail and turn brain off" atm) but i probably came off rude since i was basically telling someone what not to use
and then i go down every few seconds
At least 5 times better since the relic pulses 5 times
The thing is though, Shout doesn't stun lock monsters, unlike Chorus
i'd rather they use assail then die trying something else
Yeah but they wouldn't
And when you take the really clutch revive teammates upgrade, it downgrades the radius
Your fun doesn't trump theirs
I don't run the revive thing tbh. I'd rather pop early to prevent the down
im lv15, whats a good gun to run with assail + scrier
Revolver or las pistol
Don't worry too much about buying specific guns until you're cap, try new stuff that mission rewards give you
yeah, and revive shout doesn't pickup players who are hanging off a ledge
i mean
i only said it cuz it was a melee scab maelstrom
youre gonna regret trying to assail 3 crushers and 4 maulers walking toward you
lol shout at them to do a pull up
My gym partner is more powerful since they can motivate me to do a pull up
exactly
Jk I can't do un assisted pull up
just do negative rep pull ups
when you max out your machine
it's an assisted pull up machine
i'm too selfish to use a support skill
Think of it as supporting yourself
i also like to pretend i'm struggling or i can't find them when they go down
By giving other targets for the enemy to hit
well...that's one way to view it...
is warp flame good?
It takes a bit more work but it can definitely do well
Do y'all think the biolightning does too little damage or just enough considering that it stuns enemies in a chain
Left click needs more damage
i hate cc lightning. never use it
biolighting nukes my frame rate
It's basically an infinite use flamethrower, so yes it's good.
Right click is fine since it just does ridiculous CC
so it does enough damage
Left click needs way more damage imo
Smite burns out my retinas. That's a lot of damage
I went from 0 to 100 with just the left click and didn't even kill the scab gunner
Middle final perk again
I promptly just sent back to brain burst
If you proc empowered while using the biolightning
Yes infinite power
It's a bug
Check out this crit with the recon lasgun
Without the broken infinite lightning bug bio does seem a bit too weak in terms of damage.
Without the bug yeah i agree
The charged is fine in terms of damage for the ridiculous CC. Uncharged is a joke
Imo it Really should deal a bit more damage i really
Enjoy watching enemies explode
It makes the voices quieter
Buff the left click then
Yeah
Right click should stay where it's at
Dont buff the left click
It just freezes a whole room if it isn't a monster
it'll make the staff redundant.
Idk why the description says left click dows big damage and then it does nothing
Does*
If anything it should be a focus on a fewer targets at less peril cost.
Do you think left click is bugged actually
Surge staff has much higher range
I think bio should do triple damage to flak/carapace enemies since they're wearing metal armour.
Doesn't feel like it, but its damage is way higher
Yeah from actually 0 damage to really good damage
I like flame more then surge
Flame cause too many Voidstrike users atm
suit of metal armor would have a faraday cage effect and take no damage at all from electricity
Oh shit, they even have loadouts. Radical.
I do not use voidstrike not because it's not good but just because I'm a hater
Voidstrike is crazy if used in a max crit build and the double shot blessing or soul blaze blessing.
I hated voidstrike and trauma before the patch, and now they feel more forgiving to play
omg I just figured out what the alternate fire for the mk IV dueling sword is for. I was wondering what it was since it did such low raw dmg and low stagger damage
I guess "smite" is very good for higher difficulty keeping stuff CC'd?
Depends
It's an attack that you can make while blocking - similar to the push mechanic, you can hold block and hit (light attack) and you'll push. Similarly, you can block and hit (alternate fire) and you do a targeted attack!
If using the broken infinite lightning build, yes. Without that it can feel a bit weak at times due to the poor damage.
If your team is not doing damage to the CC'd targets, it's pretty useless
Kind of depends if your team mates actually focus the CC'd enemies or not
It has the same problem surge staff had before the patch
sometimes the team mates are idiots and hide from shooters that literally can't do anything
Fun fact about the devil's claw sword outside of the visual bug
If you do the special counter attack on a rager in lower difficulties it deals insanely high damage to them, but I'm not sure if it's an instakill
Where it depends heavily on teammates who know what they are doing, and not abandoning you
what's the base amount of toughness for psykers now?
So, I buy one of these, upgrade, and pray for good perks and blessings?
yes
idk, but seems pretty low. One of my builds has like 90 toughness lol.
did they change it with this patch?
Because of the toughness nodes.
Psykers are all twigs it makes sense...
they changed what attacks will deplete toughness and HP, for sure
psyker doesn't get much toughness maximum, but has plenty of feats to regen toughness.
Ok but like
The little crystal meth homin missiles remind me a lot of yondu's needle thing from guardians of the galaxy
Also it follows your aim slightly
Exactly
All of these feats can give toughness regen in different ways.
15% on warp kill is the best one
yeah
charge Illis, do a heavy into a crowd
also the toughness on quelling is nice
Ok all i hear is about how strong or useful biolightning and the crystal meth homing missiles are but how is the head popping skill after the update
it's okay?
I heard it's really good with empowering
It's still good. especially with this
Oh wow
you can spam it on monsters or elites etc
yeah, you can chain like 4 BB in quick succession
really good at horde clearing, doesn't do much on the bigger mobs, you will need to carry a strong melee, deimos/dueling sword.
and you'll only be at 50~60 peril
can someone send me screenshots of the ideal assail and lighting builds please ?
What combat ability would be good with that
Did I read it right that with the middle keystone assailant doesn't give warp at all and doesn't consume any charges?
Brain burst still works through walls, does a bit of damage, can be pre charged, and kills most specials. I think BB is fine
Would that mean i get an insta bb?
So I can use it infinitely?
Aaaah, the trick with smite is to proc empowered psionics and then hold it. It seems to benefit from 100% peril cost reduction even though that's not listed.
Until you run out of empowered stacks
Ah okay ^^
because it's a bug
Or do the cast time reductions not step
Stack*
Because wouldn't that mean you get a -125% cast time reduction
Aka negative cast time
It's probably multiplicative and not additive
IDK if this is ideal for Smite+EP, but it works in damnation
Aah
assil is stronger, let them nerf that first
Or fix both in the same patch
shhhhh
Fix Warp Rider while they are at it
Imagine
Instant brain bursts for 10 seconds chain killing specials
And Scrier, and DD
One sounds like they fucked up an if, then statement and the other sounds like they need to adjust numbers
assail does seem pretty silly rn. I see that getting hit with a nerf. Preferablely just nerf the recharge rate, so you can still spam a powerful volley if you want, but then will have to wait a little bit for the recharge. atm they recharge really quick.
I think like 8 shards and a longer cool down is enough
idk if the scraze is supposed to require me to hold down the quell constantly, but doesn't seem, that fun to use.
10 is a lot at the moment
It's really meant for a gunker
What's wrong with it?
You're sorta empowering yourself with the warp
something like that, yeah.
Ah, but I guess fishing for empowered psionics is the annoying part about smite CC.
then it ends too fast no?
You can also do some shenanigans with exorcist with force swords to quell during gaze
Warp Rider: 20% only working at 8%
DD: doesn't work
It's cost benefit
What's warp ride and DD again?
Nooo I'm running both on my assail build.
I like warp rider with the swords
You can pretty easily spam it at 100% peril on big enemies
Just have to wait for it to go below that and redo the special attack
or you can use a dueling sword, since it's all sources
and you can block without exploding
block shove, whatever it's called
The force push
It took some getting used to force push at without vent
I remember beta where all pushes gave peril
Good times
Ngl, I was using it to keep warp rider up at the time
can someone send me screenshots of the ideal assail talents please ?
as long as you have Empowered Psionics, everything else is personal preference
I run dd with assail tho
he asked for "ideal" not "meme"
and then the weps to use atm is either void or surge and what melee ? also what blessings are the ones to look out for please ?
What else to do in this game but memes 
any staff is fine, void is easiest, but they're all good, melee force or duelling swords are good, devil-claw also good if you use the parry
does anyone knowif you have to still use brain burst to get monstronum malleus
Just use assail 95% of the round.
or can you use any of the blitz moves
you gonna be there a long time if you're not using brain burst
I guess the video I saw of someone spawning attacking enemies in the meatgrinder was a mod and not a new feature?
Wall is fun, but Bubble has better utility
The toughness regen
But Bubble is better with Warp Siphon
Put a medpack inside bubble and it's basically a healing station
That replenishes toughness instead of the warp shite
IMO... the tree, outside of very specific builds would look like this
what do i put on this bad boy
use it for assail gunker? IDK
lol should i keep the 20% unyielding>? or should i swap for damage to carapace?
If you do unyielding+carapace, it mows down crushers
which is like the only thing assail isn't good at
Can it one shot flamers?
hmm, i was gonna do maniac, unyeilding
who knows, it might become meta when they nerf voidstrike
boutta find out
If not then maniac
I would keep the unyielding and surgical
Hand cannon is great too
the blessing i think are perfect
Blessings are fine yea
other than the fact that hand cannon is 3 not 4
it's 80% rending for the T4 hand cannon
needs maniac 😦
should i save other reroll for t4 hand cannon?
Maybe you need flak to oneshot flak ragers but that's based on preference
Nah don't bother I would say
dont really need flak if i have maiac
Flak rager isn't a maniac
Does assail suck? I don't understand how to use well
assail is very very good
you need to aim assail
Do you need embowered blitz key stone?
Assail is really good right now and you need to aim it
hmm Yeah maybe im spaming too hard
Not you spam more
If you don't have 30pts, focus on peril reduction
By aiming we didn't meant right click
so much fun!
Like I saw stuff about assail so I know it was supposed to be good, I just cant replicate it in my game play
Is this thing worth it despite the damage?
skill issue i guess
What's going poorly when you use it?
See if you can one shot bruisers
I just feel like shit aint dying lol
If you can, then it's fine
bad against trash mobs?
2 assail darts clear hordes on auric 5
i feel like when trash mobs get in melee range, I just start dying
Yea you don't use it in melee range
spam them dodges
Assail will one shot pox walkers, but against scabs and dregs, it usually takes 2 hits
against elite scabs and dregs, it's usually 3
You start throwing when they are far away
you can use it in melee as long as you dodge well
Hm alright
It's not a panic type of weapon
assail 1 shots these guys at 5 stacks for me
More like kill everything before they reach you
On a voidstrike crit stick, do I want surge or flurry?
Flurry makes sense for more crowd control
surge makes sense for bosses.
Yea use it at these ranges and further, they can reach up to 50m
and smashers
Like when I used assail in meat grinder, seemed crazy good
What's a smasher 
dodges give you something akin to I-frames against melee except the game checks for how close you are to attacks (i.e. the attack gets "shortened"), though this shortening is on a per-attack basis so have fun learning that
then I get in game and It doesnt work for me
You need to stay back and throw
Have to figure out what im doing wrong hmm
Mario with an attitude?
prob have to wave your mouse around a bunch
yeah Iguess so
and get the shards to lock onto enemies
Do what you want with your voidstrike. If it's fun and can complete missions, who cares?
Just find some high ground and start chucking
yeah Ill give it another go, thanks
not me throwing in melee range all the time lol
assail plus warp stacks? Empowered blitz keystone isnt worth?
Is this challenge telling me to kill myself?
Surge is most only good if you get the
Guaranteed crit talent node
Right bottom
kinda
yes
Neat
empowerd is bad on assail
Empowered blitz is fine too, see a bunch of gunners? No more gunners
empowered is for an assail spam build
the other keystones will prob be better if you're using your other weapons in conjunction though
really? i find empowerd is just not very good on assail
Yeah, you can use EP or Warp with assail
Do you think purgatoras staff is good pair with assail? Or trauma?
yes
Whats a good melee weapon to pair up with Smite?
it triggers semi-reliably and you know is more assails for free
the damage from warp siphon is just so much better for me
purgator staff isn't a good combo with assail, since they both do the same job
Doing a Palpatine build
Purgatus I run BB just to get the cooldown node
but if you are throwing shards, there's hardly any time to use the staff anyways
I find staff gameplay super fun tho
i run revolver assail, and just shoot ogryns and bosses with revolver
and assail everything else
I like the Staff because of the visual body damage it causes
Purge assail is in a weird spot because you will have assail out all the time
so when you say spam assail, do you litterally mean click as fast as I can?
or be more deliberate than that
Yea
yes
Just start chucking
hmmmm
Until everything is dead
the fire rate is whatever
No bc that’s how you do a psyker-oopsies. Aka blowing up ur head
just means to be using assail all the time
Depends on the thickness of the horde
What melee you guys pair with it?
nah i spam until im out then stab until their back
Melee depends on your staff
i pair with illisi
I use Illis, but that's because I don't have anything better
yeah illisi
A blaze force sword. Forget the specific model name
but i use gun
seems good
But duelling4 is like the default slot
thanks lads
How does ur head not go bye bye
I also now have all psyker penances completed today >:)
There r three kinds tho.
When the warp charges build up, throwing shards costs less
Ahhhh
is the quelling movespeed perk worth?
Quelling speed goated
yes
could not disagree more
And it's nice enough 🤷♂️
I always took it in old perk system
it's nice but not something I would go out of my way to pick
id be dead 100% more often without it
because it's also behind +50% coherency radius which is eh
It's nice to have, but the other option isn't that good anyways, so you might as well take it
You mean quell speed?
It's free with warpcharges
yeah
But on my destiny build I also take it
nice to have
It's just real nice
but I wouldn't go out of my way to take it
has anyone found a good purgatorus build?
for me mind in motion is what lets me train hordes and bosses ez
Take cooldowns, venting shriek
BB because it is prerequisite for cooldown node
I'll Stan for wildfire too as it actually makes a difference imo
Purg is full left side
Take warpcharges and then start purging
Yeah that makes sense
i have a bb wildfire build that i just dont use lol
I haven't re-built my psyker yet but they seem OP now! So many new things going on with shields and stuff.Any favored builds?
Yea full left but take the crit node bottom right
check next quote
this build
I mean taking mind in motion isn’t as troll as before since it’s just one of 30 nodes in any build but
It would be nice if purg staff didn't have to take venting, but the peril buildup is too fast while using it
They should rly just make it “you can quell while sprinting, at full speed” or wte
they should cuz then id be even more op
Thanks dude 👍
np
Lmao op is certainly a word
It's this to use with a specific staff?
this is such a weird statement
cuz it implies it was good in the first place
Does surge work on trauma? Double explosion would be funny
maybe not op tho lol
i mean, i guess if you're too lazy to swap to staff
literally how
Lol nope
Sad
at high diff it makes it super ez to train bosses and hordes so you can kill them ez-ier
but you can have the same amount of mobility while quelling when dodging
as well as moving into cover
kinda
by the time youre dodges are running low, you would have fully quelled anyway
mostly but the general increase in speed does healp
it also depends on how much peril your build generates
i wanna know what kinda shit people would pull off if it was actually a speed INCREASE
