psyker-class

[sterile saddle]

but the FEAR MY FAITH ability is dope. Free sheild, stuns mobs and can even push ogres and chaos spawns around XD

literally walked a chaos spawn off a ledge

[lucid pewter]

isn't warp siphon better than disrupt destiny?

[orchid nest]

Lol yeah the ledging is super funny

[lucid pewter]

for casual gameplay with assail*

[sterile saddle]

Warp Siphon with max charges gives u passive dmg

[lucid pewter]

yes 24% damage

[sterile saddle]

its not as much dmg as DD but its like.. Free and maintains a bit better

[spice veldt]

I'd run DD solely because you're already on the right side and because you're probably going to take True Aim

[sterile saddle]

u have to sell ur first child to get enuff skill points to get it tho

[orchid nest]

alright yeah I tested it again I wasn't smoking something, they run into the dome and crash into the opposite inside wall of the dome and stumble

[lucid pewter]

yeah i guess warp siphon is less stress free

[spice veldt]

so the point investment into warp siphon is heavier

[sterile saddle]

thats awsm

It'd be neat if there was a perk for Smite that let you charge blocks for extra crowd control.

like push and then hit them with lightening

As it stands it's more of a shoot with lightning and then push

which feels awkward

[fluid knot]

Aye for sure it can be done, but its very risky

[orchid nest]

I kind of wish going into any keystone was as easy point wise as empowered and it was balanced around it

[fluid knot]

I exploded a lot day one of the patch using Scriers/Assail

[naive imp]

Does scriers generate a lot of peril on cast?

[granite mauve]

i wouldn't know i use laspistol with it

[orchid nest]

warp rider doesn't help the situation I guess, you're going to take it and it's already the shortest path

[fluid knot]

Its not the way it works so much as that it feels clumsy to do so imo, they just need to tweak the speed of the cast/block to tighten it up

[fluid knot]

Not on cast, but over time it gets higher an higher

You can get at most like 4 cycles out of it before you're generating it too fast to do anything with

[sterile saddle]

it's actually pretty safe to run smite/scriers as if u reach 100 on smite it'll just stop u automatically. Not sure if that's a feature or what

but scriers is sorta useless on smite

[orchid nest]

yeah this is supposed to do high damage though at least and it's just bugged currently.

[royal granite]

so when you throw an assail dart with empowered psionics, the dart hits 3 more times

[sterile saddle]

so u hit 6?

[royal granite]

as far as i can tell, normal darts can hit three times, empowered will hit 6

maybe more, don't know exactly, haven't tested more than to confirm that empowered hits more

[shut ether]

Is assail overtuned?

[royal granite]

yeah

they need to slow down the rate at which shards recover i think

[shut ether]

Yeah uptime seems near permanent

[royal granite]

ok i'm getting like 7-8 hits per dart with empowered assail

[compact cargo]

Empowered assail is a bigger issue tbh, empower in general...

[plucky flax]

Real memers run dd with assail.

[orchid nest]

they need to do it in a way that is combination of talents and base otherwise it just hurts variety even more as you'll be even more forced into empowered

[orchid nest]

yeah, this

[compact cargo]

empower smite is borderline game breaking

you can crash xbox folk with it if enough effects are on screen

[royal granite]

i think it's fine for assail to be a good oh shit button, your oh shit button just shouldn't also be your main weapon

and maybe don't let assail build charges of empower

[spice veldt]

it's fine to let it build charges

[compact cargo]

Could make assail work like zealot knife

Massive finess damage, low bodyshot damage

[spice veldt]

just that assail itself is too good and is able to reliably build stacks

[compact cargo]

Lowering base damage would help but it can become an issue on lower lvls

[royal granite]

i'd rather have assail be extremely good but not be something you can use all the time

[spice veldt]

yesh

nerfs to it's aim assist, max ammo, and ammo regen

[orchid nest]

to be fair if you take assail baseline and don't grab empowered or its linked talents it's not a main weapon which is why I really hope this is addressed with talents and not the base skill

[royal granite]

the aim assist is fine, that's literally the point of assail

[compact cargo]

I love throwing knifes straight ahead and then look at whatever I want to destroy

so no

[royal granite]

max ammo maybe, ammo regen definitely

[patent steeple]

I run Smite, because I can use it to get CC and close-range horde clear on my Voidstrike build...

[royal granite]

i think smite is fine

[spice veldt]

aim assist is boring and you'll have to balance out a weapon's DPS to factor for it

[royal granite]

it has a different application than assail as well

[spice veldt]

at the very least, the RMB should be a targeted straight throw

and not have such a slow windup

[royal granite]

also voidstrike needs a nerf so it can't solve literally every problem

cause right now you can actually trickshot assail around bulwarks to hit them in the back of the head and it is SO satisfying

[orchid nest]

that would make the RMB more useable and higher skill simultaneously so it would be a good change for sure

[royal granite]

but completely pointless since voidstrike just pens shields anyway

[tawny venture]

sry i am not trying to spam i just copied what i posted in help...
any tips for 'prioritize targets' psyker penence... never used G (bb) even before update... but i want that mask... right now using purgatus... two runs and i was only able to kill one specialist with bb... is there some way to avoid using G it leaves me wide open and i fk up my team also i missclick and fail...

[royal granite]

learn how to dodge while you charge it

and also keep in mind you can target someone with lmb then quickly duck behind cover without losing lockon

[tawny venture]

ooo didnt know that,ty that changed tactic a lot

[royal granite]

it's great for taking out gunner teams

[orchid nest]

lmb but yeah. rmb is the pre charge up

[royal granite]

oh whoops

yeah my bad

tbf you can also hide behind cover and charge it with rmb, then pop out and explode a head

[orchid nest]

do these new talents work with the penances even? hopefully they do. like the "upgraded" base ones

it would be a very fatshark thing if they didn't

[royal granite]

someone yesterday said the upgraded bb does count

[orchid nest]

oh good haha

[royal granite]

but also apparently one of the zealot blitzes counts?

[formal hill]

Your Current Average Maelstrom game

[raw token]

can quickplay queue into maelstrom?

[royal granite]

doubt it

[formal hill]

yes

[royal granite]

although it IS fatshark

[formal hill]

I've done it

[royal granite]

lol welp

[formal hill]

that was that game actually lol

[raw tangle]

Which is better staff voidstrike or surge

[royal granite]

i'd also accept one big shard that chains 30 times

that'd be dope

[golden frigate]

this bot has a better total score than any of you will ever have

[royal granite]

and also intriduce some skill, since if you don't immediately acquire a new target once you hit something your shard despawns

[unique mist]

tf

[royal granite]

someone left at the end probably

it's a bit odd how rigid the other classes' talent trees are

it's way easier for psyker to make a hybrid of each side than zealot or vet

[old flame]

i dont care what anyone says, smite is god tier. it shuts down entire hordes

makes auric missions easy

[cinder moon]

as long as your team actually kills whatever you're stunlocking

[fresh crater]

and you dont get hit in the back

[royal granite]

yeah smite is amazing

idk why anyone would dispute that

[fresh crater]

im not saying its bad just annoying getting knocked out of it every 5 seconds

[frigid sparrow]

Had to feed my kid! I'm looking at it now

[plucky flax]

45 mins game?
Here's my first time playing gun lugger. Totally not op.

[naive imp]

Is that the scoreboard mod?

[plucky flax]

Aye mah dood

[naive imp]

I need to download it and the short talent tree.

I’ve never downloaded mods for steam. Do you just plug and play?

[plucky flax]

Not quite but it's fairly simple. There's a reddit post somewhere to teach ppl how to mod.

[formal hill]

Indeed was sweating my balls off

[plucky flax]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11cod2i/guide_how_to_install_mods_in_darktide_w_gifs/

[golden frigate]

and there are tutorials on the most downloaded ones, it's the same for every mod you install

[calm lotus]

yeah darktide doesnt use steam workshop

[slate sun]

Is voidstrike with surge+nexus actually valid right now guys? I'm coming back after a longer break, call me excited 🙂

[naive imp]

Rip

[golden frigate]

it's unironically op

[plucky flax]

Dayum bro you need to use op builds like voidstrike or something.

[formal hill]

Bullgryn

Shield

[plucky flax]

Shield is good but you need decent teammates too since the damage output is not as high as shovel or club.

[formal hill]

That's what I was using

is what I'm saying

[calm lotus]

thats why you bring bleed with it

[slate sun]

I kept a perfect roll one for months now, not using it ... waiting

[shut ether]

Oh probably because they upped the carapace damage on void. It feels like it kills everything now

[plucky flax]

I know it's sadge your team was kinda sus.

[formal hill]

My team always sucks

You either carry the game or say gamer words, no in betweem

[naive imp]

Sucks because I love the way the shield looks

Shield looks amazing. Haha

[plucky flax]

Didn't really carry this round but the end event was rough with specials upon specials. I was playing op zealot tho so it worked out well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERpVN63kS_E

[formal hill]

Well to be fair Shovel and Mk1 club are pretty overpowered atm

just remember, any build can work, it's just varying degrees of difficulty

[calm lotus]

is mk1 op?

havent seen that much about it

[formal hill]

Can be if you have the right build

[calm lotus]

mk4 knife i believe is pretty crazy though

[plucky flax]

Yeah a lot of heavy attack buffs for ogryn so shovel and mk1 became really really strong.

[calm lotus]

havent used it myself but i know its real good

[frigid sparrow]

I really like your hud layout omg

[plucky flax]

So is mk4 knife.

Ty It's a bit more centralised so I can see the buffs and stuff easier.

[formal hill]

Me Ogryn, just hit

[frigid sparrow]

Are mods updated now? Is it safe to try them out again? I really only tried scoreboard before the patch

[formal hill]

dont look at buffs

[plucky flax]

Some aren't but stuff will work.

[lavish forge]

did they buff the sabre because imw atching a video of someone hitting a 3 hit breakpoint on mutants

[formal hill]

they buffed most things

[frigid sparrow]

Okay, I'll check them out. Also, zealot chat has a pin with recommended blessings/perks for weapons. I don't see one here. Is maniac/flak still recommended when it comes to surge staff?

[raw token]

thats always been in the game

[lavish forge]

dueling sword always felt weak compared to force sword but i see a lot of good players use it

[raw token]

ive only ever used them, theyre so fun

[dusk rose]

is the bio energy for CC hordes and less for damage?

[lavish forge]

yes

[formal hill]

Cliffhanger penance works with Smite

just as an FYI

[valid ridge]

Genuinely thinking about just dodging every lobby I get an assail psyker

that shit makes games into snoozefests

[plucky flax]

[still hearth]

It's for CCing scary things

[golden frigate]

what if I'm scared of the warp

[sterile saddle]

dont be

warp is ur friend

my beloved lives there

[valid ridge]

The werp

[sterile saddle]

base

[naive imp]

so then i just open the txt and load them?

[fluid knot]

The Londinium special 😄

[plucky flax]

Btw I tested again. Demolition team doesn't give teammates grenades anymore.

I'm hoping that's a bug.

[sterile saddle]

its not

[formal hill]

its not

[sterile saddle]

tooltip is wrong

[fluid knot]

I dont think so, it would be impossible to balance giving Oggy regenerating nukes

[naive imp]

@plucky flax

this good, right?

[plucky flax]

Well no point in me using that talent then when I use the 60s grenade regen.

[sterile saddle]

i use grenades like crazy

not enuff tbh

[plucky flax]

Yeah did you add mods in the txt file?

[fluid knot]

I mean, its still a chance for an extra free one, law of averages probably means it works out to 2 free ones every 60s inc other feat

[naive imp]

about to do that. just wanted to make sure they were in the right spot first. thank you so much!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11cod2i/guide_how_to_install_mods_in_darktide_w_gifs/

this needs pinned somewhere. lol

[plucky flax]

True. It depends on how much grenades you use.

I guess I do use a fair bit. Krak grenades kinda op.

[fluid knot]

They are pretty Kraked one could say 😄

I'll see myself out

[plucky flax]

[queen fog]

nice

[pearl crest]

i hate zealot

[plucky flax]

Tru they are too op.

[pearl crest]

they're talking about psykers over there

[shut ether]

I want to get back into grinding Darktide byt Cyberpunk has me in a chokehold currently

[dawn sphinx]

Hmmm. . . Clearly the stamina is going out. What else should I change about it?

[still hearth]

[naive imp]

yaaaas

one pic finally. lol

[brave turret]

disrupt desitny is gonna need buffs if its gonna be viable in comparison to warp charges

[plucky flax]

It's good it's just a bit buggy with how sometimes it doesn't mark enemies fast enough.

When it's supposed to be 1 enemy per second(?)

[queen fog]

it matter if ur in range

theres a invis circle around the psyker to decide who gets hit by DD

[brave turret]

i dont really think so, because because the stacks all go away and you have to often kill more enemies to get your damage higher compared to warp charges

[still hearth]

Just run without a keystone

[queen fog]

so vet gaming?

[plucky flax]

Ah yeah stacks drop off one at a time would be a very nice change to it.

[brave turret]

with warp charges you need to kill 6 specialist and elites enemies and your at max potenial

with disrupt destiny

you need to either kill 15/30

[queen fog]

its bodies on bodies on bodies

oh no a elevator, all my DD stacks are now gone

[brave turret]

and the fact horde enemies or orgyns dont get marked

make it almost impossible to get full stacks

[brave turret]

pre buff warp charges be like

[naive imp]

failed but the damage done from assail is...a lot. heh

[ornate hamlet]

Thoughts?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a5029f5-5aae-4fb8-b72e-9bf8e33f7678/psyker-dont-use-assail-challenge-impossible

[frigid sparrow]

Okay, so assail, surge force, and dueling sword. What are my options for dealing with bosses?

I feel like I'm having a tough time hitting those guys tbf

[keen harbor]

voidstrike

[queen fog]

yea ballin staff is a good way to go

get a decent enough roll on the stagger and you'll be making a CS stagger

[frigid sparrow]

I'll consider it, I don't have the plasteel atm

What about with what I have

[keen harbor]

trauma is also an option

[raw tangle]

Guys what's pyskinetics wrath is it a perk cus I cant find it 😂

[turbid quartz]

Does Smite together with Empowered Psionics suppose to generate 0 peril at all? With at least 1 stack it's possible to cast Smite for an indefinite amount of time

[plucky flax]

Duelling sword with uncanny is strong against monsters.

[patent steeple]

its the starter f ability, the upgraded version is Venting Shriek.

[frigid sparrow]

Thats a blessing?

[thorn cedar]

I think all DD needs is a bigger range.

[plucky flax]

Yepper.

[keen harbor]

yeah, that's how it works. It's bugged

[turbid quartz]

Ahhh I figured. Thanks for confirming! 😄

[keen harbor]

The other bugged combination is bubble shield + warp siphon

[raw tangle]

@patent steeple ty would venting shriek count towards the blessed fate penance or does it have to be the basic one?

[dawn sphinx]

Any good advise for that weapon? What should I replace the stamina with and should I replace a blessing - or just get shred 4 if I can?

[whole oxide]

.

[turbid quartz]

What's up with that combo?

[naive imp]

does the surge staff essentially use smite?

[patent steeple]

venting shriek can vent overheat (peril), psykinetic wrath cannot do that...

[whole oxide]

Precog to Uncanny, Stamina to Maniac

[dawn sphinx]

Thank!

[naive imp]

i could see having the psyker there specifically for elites/bosses. brain burst and just active ability and nuke

[keen harbor]

It lets you spam a ton of bubble shields

[raw tangle]

Ok so I should use the basic ability whilst doing the feat ?

Penance

[keen harbor]

2 wall shields vs 3~8 bubble shields

[turbid quartz]

Dayum that's nice haha I'll be testing it

[keen harbor]

honestly, you don't really need to put down more than 2 bubbles. 3+ starts to block visibility

[queen fog]

all these bubble layers and i still can't stop a sniper shot with them

[potent echo]

They don't block sniper shots?

[idle bay]

I normally avoid damnation and high intensity (health issues - stress can bring be down into a bed) but this time i risked it and fully enjoyed it without any stress 🙂

[plucky flax]

dats op mane

[potent echo]

Damn almost the whole offensive score is yellow

[idle bay]

Assail and Void staff

And Psyker do not suppose to deal that much boss damage either...

[potent echo]

Understandable

Yea void is kinda cracked isn't it

[plucky flax]

I think most damage dealt atm is probably zealot go fast build.

[idle bay]

Everything i used are cracked.... though i hope t remain that way. No matter how killjoys screech on forums - that other player having fun is bad for them 🙂

[potent echo]

I mean it can be brought back a little bit

Else the other 3 players just twiddling thumbs

[keen harbor]

IMO, just need to tweak the reload speed of shards

[idle bay]

Assail actually need some extra effort from player to be this effective... some erratic mosuse movement after each arrow does the trick

[potent echo]

Yea, or limit to 5 shards

[plucky flax]

670k damage in 29 mins is kinda cray cray.

[keen harbor]

like I shouldn't be able to play the game with only shards

[summer prairie]

It's probably fast enough but it doesn't do a good job selecting targets

[wide summit]

man, not being able to just click G again to go back to the last selected weapon is such an oversight.

[potent echo]

169

[idle bay]

Thing is as soon shards are at 0 - it's Void staff time, and then back to shards

[keen harbor]

Because the equivalent would be running around as a vet with grenades that reload in 10s vs 60s

[potent echo]

I'm in love with vet shredder nades

Chuck 2 and everything dies

[keen harbor]

The voidstrike/assail/shield meta is popular enough, that I built my zealot and vet around supporting that

[idle bay]

I still stick to using Shriek instead of Shiled... Misclick to blow myself up happens more than i'd like to 🙂

But yeah barrier/shield psyker in team is very comforting. Instant defuse of tough situations

[potent echo]

The special walls are so good at stopping mutants or dogs or bomber nades or flamer flames

[fresh reef]

I'm really glad that the wall and dome are mechanically distinct enough to effectively be separate abilities, because holy fuck Gaze feels like it does nothing

[potent echo]

Just so good

Gaze needs to give like

50% crit at least

Maybe 20% damage and then climbing crit stacks

[summer prairie]

It's supposed to be a gunpsyker ability but that makes even less sense. I think it's supposed to quell peril both when you hit and kill

[potent echo]

Yea and bonus if it goes into cooldown while you are using the ability, stack it back to back

[analog agate]

Whats your build/weapons?

[idle bay]

That is actually makes sense. Maybe they have in place a branch for Gun Psyker and then rejected it and used half-assed version of Gaze for final build

[summer prairie]

It's called psyker_gunslinger_ability in the code

[potent echo]

Where melee psyker

[iron star]

best psycher talent tree for the electric stuff?

[idle bay]

It's like "get out of Titan button in Titanfall" it's there but why ever press it ? 🙂

JK... we can stack like 40% extra damage easily and go nuts in melee with Force swords

With extra damage from blessings in weapon

The Poke is still possible? I mean one-hitting Mutants with a poke from Deimos?

[keen harbor]

Yeah, that should still work

although, chainsword can do that now too

rev and light attack will one shot a mutie

[idle bay]

Do chainswords still have camera issues forcing you to stare in floor on special attack kills?

[vernal frost]

does anyone know if psyker abilities can inherit the weapon's blessing effect?

[potent echo]

It's duelling mk4 now

And yes you can still do it

[keen harbor]

The chainsword still has camera issues yes, but it gets stuck less often now

[idle bay]

Dueling swords are not my cup of tea despite how good they are now. I love my Force Swords with Deflector 🙂

[potent echo]

With some help, either warp charges, some rending stacks, or some qeril > damage

[plucky flax]

Shitty site but it's here https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a50338c-8063-4142-b4b6-d360b6b3db1b/bm-antax-op

[potent echo]

Yea I think no more Deimos stab for mutants though, but I only tested on the first day

[limber heath]

I'm torn between deflector and the ability to skewer basically any enemy in the game lol

[plucky flax]

869k damage in 39 mins with a pretty tough finale event
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERpVN63kS_E

[idle bay]

BM Antax is my first love in Darktide 🙂

Great to see it's still doing good

[plucky flax]

It's different and not as mindless as before.

You need to do stuff now and not just left click spam.

[potent echo]

Oh that's a nice combo, axe special a rager gives you enough time to hit him twice and kill him

[reef island]

this thing salvageable?

[plucky flax]

Yeah the antax special is super fast and will stagger anything.

Maybe not crusher when it's doing side swing.

[potent echo]

Definitely, rampage to uncanny, sprint efficiency to maniac

If you use it for horde clear, you can swap precog instead

[reef island]

awesome! ty, need a good melee

[potent echo]

I still don't know which crusher attack is considered staggerable lmao

[plucky flax]

The overhead you can stagger it out of it.

My antax build has extra stagger on weakspot hit so I can actually stagger chain crusher infinitely.

[potent echo]

I need to test with the duelly special too

Patch notes say extra stagger if weakspot hit

[outer owl]

I dont know why but when I test my psyker in the psykanium

I suddenly got random brain brust

I was just testing the purgatus staff

[outer owl]

yeah\

[native oyster]

Which stat on the purgatas staff is the dump stat?

I dont play pycher much and i dunno what to roll for when buying new staffs

[summer prairie]

They don't matter much but you want 76+ burn and high cloud

[native oyster]

Aight

What about the surge staff

[outer owl]

It did like crazy damage

for some reason

It is too powerful to simply be just a crit

[frigid sparrow]

Wound build is unkillable btw

[limber heath]

I hope you're not spending your plasteel on upgrading early weapons. Not worth imo since you'll replace them every time

[summer prairie]

that's a kinetic flayer proc

[frigid sparrow]

Take the 25% heal on damage and 50% DR on next wound and they feed off each other. You can keep the momentum too

+2 wound perk is nice and means you can run less wound curio

[plucky flax]

Hrm

But you lose out on big peepee hp.

[outer owl]

I still dont quite get it

[frigid sparrow]

Backstab kills have higher refresh rate than crit CD too

Nah fam, you don't need it

[plucky flax]

I am noob I need big cushy hp.

[outer owl]

like why would a crowd control staff have that high crit??

[frigid sparrow]

You honestly get to the point where you're like too tanky and start wondering if you can pick more DPS perks

[plucky flax]

I already play tanky ogryn build if I want to tank.

[frigid sparrow]

I run it with chainsword, but it's not weapon dependant at all so up to ya

[limber heath]

Kinetic flayer is a talent node that triggers a brain rupture on some of your hits , it's unrelated to the weapon you are using

[frigid sparrow]

Also don't fall into bleed crit trap, just build your dagger for rending/backstabs or whatever when you decide to try that playstyle out lol

[outer owl]

OHHH

[plucky flax]

I never like knife but I do have a crit devil's claw build.

[outer owl]

well this is op

[frigid sparrow]

DC is pretty good, I like it

I have trouble dealing with armored boys with it though. The more I play zealot the more I realize idc about chaff/hordes and need to deal with armored stuff. Chainsword ends up doing better cause its special can one shot them all

[limber heath]

It's on a 15s cooldown so it's not that OP but if you're going BB it's not the worst IDT. Although the proc will often get eaten by fodder

[plucky flax]

Yeah chainsword is so strong now.

[left hare]

what perks for a surge staff

[frigid sparrow]

But if you're running something ranged that can kill those things, I imagine that fills that gap

[plucky flax]

Evis got better but not as good as chainsword.

[left hare]

and blessings

[frigid sparrow]

Idk, I just run an autogun and call it a day. I just use it for ranged immunity to chase gunners when my vet sucks 😦

Evis is overrated 😦

[plucky flax]

Evis would be really strong but I lost my special sauce.

[frigid sparrow]

Though I gotta figure out if a rev'd heavy swing with bloodletter keeps the massive sweep and drops bleed stacks on things

The problem with bleed for me is everything dies too quick to really make use of stacks

[plucky flax]

(The special sauce)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRob7kffA2w

[naive imp]

NGL I feel like ogryn are the best melee crowd clear bar none.

Infinite toughness and big dam

[plucky flax]

Oh in time of actual horde clear speed psyker and zealot are faster.

Zealot faster melee kills, psyker with staff.

But ogryn deal with mixed horde really well because of their hard hitting heavies.

[potent echo]

Haymaker value

[plucky flax]

Like the melee only condition with a bunch of maulers and crushers.

That's when you bring an oggy with shovel/mk1 club.

Taunt + smash.

[potent echo]

after playing glug gryn, i really miss the gryn charge

[plucky flax]

I currently don't have a charge build.

[potent echo]

cant do the mad dash to res someone on the other side of the room

[plucky flax]

I find the taunt really really strong.

[potent echo]

taunt just takes so much heat off your team

it works on bosses too?

[plucky flax]

No don't think so but it'll stagger the boss.

[potent echo]

i guess you can take aggro that way, temporarily at least

[plucky flax]

Yeah I always spec for the extra radius so it's pretty long range.

[pale matrix]

any sources of good monster damage for psyker?

[lofty temple]

Brain Burst nvm

You're done for as Psyker

[summer prairie]

combat blade with mercy killer and flesh tearer

[rugged fiber]

Well voidstrike is okay tier

[steel flame]

ew

lacerate so much better

[summer prairie]

not really anymore

[lofty temple]

Surge or Warp Flurry on the Voidstrike?

[summer prairie]

since flesh tearer is 8 stacks and you crit all the time

[steel flame]

surge and nexus 4

[lofty temple]

It's game over man...

[plucky flax]

True aim + crit chance perk for full meme.

[lofty temple]

It takes so long to charge

[steel flame]

id say go fire void, but that got nerfed into the ground cause the base void got so much better that its hard to spread fire anymore when the void just kills everything

[plucky flax]

Blaze trauma still lives thanks the lord.

[hollow spindle]

Yup, voidstrike is busted atm

also psyker being able to 2tap crushers with the non-force sword is hilarious

[steel flame]

mk4 go brrrrr

[kind jay]

need a dueling chainsword

[radiant lance]

Say what

You mean with all buffs up right?

[silent chasm]

do we have any psyker meta builds available as of yet?

it feels a bit early to ask but my sisters, brothers, and others in 'tism work fast sometimes

[azure veldt]

Everything I've tried so far has worked 😂

[silent chasm]

me to and that's what's making me nervous

like... should we be expecting a nerf anytime soon?

[azure veldt]

I think it's inevitable that FS will either nerf us or buff enemies.

The current state of balance is very different to pre-patch 13

[silent chasm]

like I noticed they seemed to have stealth nerfed my Vet friend's healing i think (the medipacks used to cleanse all corruption for a while there it seemed) and I'm worried we're next in the crosshairs

[azure veldt]

Honest to God I found the Vet worse since 13.

The psyker on the other hand is cracked. Empowered assail goes "brrrr". As the kids say.

Empowered anyth8ng goes brrr... actually.

[silent chasm]

Empowered lightning is so good.

[azure veldt]

I would bet the hoise that empowered smite gets fixed/overhauled.

[silent chasm]

that one mission where you have to do false intel on three terminals, and then move into centre for the last bit? Hold LT, hold RT, never let go.

[azure veldt]

Unlimited power is good meme but being able to walk through the entire game constantly casting smite is not right.

[raw token]

its a glitch

[silent chasm]

I respectfully disagree I think it is perfectly right.

[azure veldt]

Oh thank god

[silent chasm]

what's it supposed to do then?

[unreal wasp]

I wish ALL of the force sword grips were this thick

[azure veldt]

Tbh though- empowered assail and BB are also very strong

[raw token]

you can hover over empowered psionics, you can see there is no peril cost reduction

[azure veldt]

What is this...???

[silent chasm]

because I think I should be able to palpatine entire continents because I am a Good Girl who deserves Nice Things.

[unreal wasp]

Illisi with a different hilt, grip and pommel using the weapon customization mod

[azure veldt]

Aaaah a mod

[silent chasm]

it balances out the idiot teammates who startle the daemonhost EVERYFUCKIGNTIME and just... refuse to participate in objectives.

[azure veldt]

That's a good counter

[unreal wasp]

I wish all of the force sword grips were as thick as that one though, don't know why you'd have a long, thick blade and then a grip you can barely squeeze

Also a light grip for said heavy blade

[silent chasm]

like seriously my friend BC (vet) and I were in one of those awful "scan things for the servo skull" missions, the one with the nurgle snot tree at the end, and the other two just REFUSED to use the scanner. Despite the fact that I was throwing bic pens like a madwoman and taking out most things. We ended up failing purely from attrition.

we couldn't keep doing it forever

[unreal wasp]

Can't be for dexterity because you aren't going to be making any dextrous swings with an unbalanced sword

[azure veldt]

I know very little about swords - but I guess the blade is counter balanced by the sheer weight of the massive balls on psykers getting close to suffering perils of the warp several times per minute per mission.

[unreal wasp]

Damn you right

[willow cobalt]

What are warp attacks? Does anybody know?

[formal hill]

What difficulty was this?

Like where they new or just slow

Were*

[limber heath]

The missions don't usually go much slower when only 2 are scanning, as long as the others are protecting those 2.

[kind jay]

anything that makes your peril go up = warp

[willow cobalt]

Ty!

[silent chasm]

champion. all were mid-20's.

[limber heath]

What is champion

[silent chasm]

they weren't good enough at killin' to actually keep them off us if i tried to scan is the issue

[formal hill]

If you're having trouble getting missions done, you're welcome to join me

[silent chasm]

difficulty 3, whatever it's called here. Champion in Vermintide2.

[formal hill]

Vermintide enjoyer

Love to see it

[silent chasm]

yep! I pride myself on being a good kerillian player.

Well "good" in quotes I suck at the game but I don't run off on my own like a moron

[formal hill]

Hagraine bow shooting me in the back you mean

[silent chasm]

Actually Briar Javs but yea

[formal hill]

I wouldn't expect anything less

[silent chasm]

(BC has gotten tired of me making the "me javelins" joke)

[unreal wasp]

Same mod also shows weapons on peoples backs

[formal hill]

British Columbia

[silent chasm]

either that or I try to enjoy the wizard stick she has but it's hard to.

[formal hill]

It's op

Being able to levitate specials before they cause an issue

So your BH can take them

[silent chasm]

oh sorry yeah, my friend I play literally everything with, BC56. He's my pet texan pretty much.

[azure veldt]

Even ogryn shields? I was running behind a guy swapping his weapons quickly and realised how weird it was he was pulling that shield out of his arse/thin air several times in quick succession 😂

[silent chasm]

he's like a dog in more ways than one. scared of thunderstorms, new people, likes to go for walkies, etc.

[raw token]

moonbow best

[formal hill]

Well, if you are having a streak of bad teamates, you're welcome to join me and my boy and we can take you through some

Offers always there

[silent chasm]

I may take you up on it, but BC is very averse to new people so I dunno how he'd do and I don't want to give the boy an anxiety attack. Thank you for the offer tho and i will keep in it mind^^

[unreal wasp]

Yes it does, actually, I didn't know the answer to that originally

[formal hill]

We don't have to VC he can just play with us like we're randoms

Just randoms you can count om

[silent chasm]

nodnod, I'll see what the future holds.

[formal hill]

That goes for anyone btw, if anyone in here wants to go to a higher difficulty but is scared to make the jump, I can take you through some

I'm an Ogryn main, so it's mandatory that I'm wholesome

[raw tangle]

Is there anyway to make brain rupture to charge faster

[limber heath]

Empowered psionics

If I'm not crazy I think one of the nodes right beside it also affects charge time but unsure

[pine nova]

can anyone explain what the fuck is wrong with mm today? I am 0/4 on damnation games

[silent chasm]

don't games like this use the date as part of the random seed?

[raw tangle]

Thanks trynja do penance and mutantsand hounds are dead beforeI can pop there brains lol@limber heath

[silent chasm]

so it literally could be a day where the AI Director is a fuck'ead

[languid tusk]

any staff left click, your blitz ability (G) and the damage from soulblaze are considered warp attacks

[limber heath]

If you're the guy on the far left which I think scoreboard usually puts there you might have your answer. No BM of course because bad games happen

[olive ember]

soooo nothing out of the ordinary then

rando's are the pinacle of brainrot

[formal hill]

Xbox players

[olive ember]

doesn't matter what game you are playing

if it is coop you can assume the rando's are brainless

MvM, Darktide, DRG, FFXIV, list goes on

[gusty furnace]

Anyone got an assail build

I wanna be a meta slave

[olive ember]

I can give you mine

[gusty furnace]

shure

works for me

[olive ember]

tho it might not be to your tastes

[silent chasm]

oh wow so I need to take that top left thing then is what you're saying? My playstyle is just bic pens

[gusty furnace]

Do i just

sit there with assail out the whole match

cause that's kinda what I'm looking for

[silent chasm]

can I also see it? I take things I like and I'm afraid I've made arse choices lol

[olive ember]

#psyker-class message

oh wait

nvrm

that shit is outdated

ugh lemme log on to my game

[gusty furnace]

oh

rip

[lilac quartz]

What's the best build rn

[olive ember]

it still works

just

I've changed some stuff around for my tastes

[olive ember]

^^ Mine is similar to that tho I have points allocated into Ascendant Blaze n all that

[formal hill]

Virgin Assail users vs me, Chad Smite Enjoyer

[summer prairie]

I've those too, the site just needs work

[olive ember]

yeah its also annoying because you can't just link it

you have to screenshot it

I want like pd2 builder ffs

or borderlands builder

[summer prairie]

you can alternatively switch empowered psionics to DD with 30s stacks, works okay depending on the map

[olive ember]

Disrupt Destiny is kinda iffy where it feels real shit when your teammates kill your marked target

anti team synergy

it also doesn't work against certain types of enemies iirc

[summer prairie]

if you hit a marked target at all you still get a refresh

so with 30s stacks is workable, but 15s is not

[olive ember]

oh yeah I could try 30s stacks

cuz I was doin 30 stacks that last 15s

@gusty furnace @silent chasm

this is what I run

[radiant lance]

Woops, wrong chat.

[silent chasm]

oh wow that's surprisingly similar to mine

but I don't... okay I gotta ask. what is the force push for

it doesn't seem to do anything but stumble them, which is nice but I can push with my sword.

I guess it cools you off in an emergency?

[plucky flax]

Does this work on specials too?

[summer prairie]

It doesn't

[willow escarp]

the shriek?

[olive ember]

force push like the ability or the sword

[plucky flax]

Damn that sucks.

[silent chasm]

force push like the upgraded base power you too there

[summer prairie]

Shriek is for triggering AB at high peril and occasionally peril management and stagger

[silent chasm]

AB?

I understand the other things

[willow escarp]

you can also knock dogs off of people through walls and in other rooms

[summer prairie]

Creeping flames

[willow escarp]

before this update it was psykers only ult ability

[silent chasm]

I'm apparently supposed to use it to knock seven fucks into a hole at the same time for a penance?

but it... they don't move when you use it. it feels bad compared to the literal sword push for that

[olive ember]

I will say that I've played psyker since pre patch so I'm not sure what the downgraded basic version you get at lvl 1 now does, but for the "upgraded" version its basically good AOE stagger that you can use whenever, and it gets rid of your peril by like 50%+

[olive ember]

are you using it at high peril?

[silent chasm]

........the force of the push is based on your peril?

this may explain things

[olive ember]

its been like that for a while I believe

[silent chasm]

okii

because when I use it the enemies look at me like "girl wtf" and then try and overhead me basically

[olive ember]

its basically super utility

[silent chasm]

I'll probably pair it with Smite for that penance and then swap back to my Ward of Dawn because i enjoy that

[olive ember]

you can use it as a stagger/CC , you can use it to quell peril

its also the only way psyker can get out of their "im exploding" animation

[silent chasm]

I make a Friend Dome that gives you shields and i can lightning out of it.

[silent chasm]

oh excellent it's the Unchained thing

[queen fog]

sadly sniper shot go brr

they dont like bubbles

[olive ember]

yeah basically, just instead of a circle AOE around you its a cone that projects to 30m out

[tribal radish]

Hi, I just got the game and was going through classes, can anyone tell me what this ability does?

[olive ember]

and with how they reworked AB, its now also based on peril

[willow escarp]

yeah saving yourself from exploding was always a big part of the shout lol. for stagger I mostly only used it to stop bombers/trappers/dogs/flamers from doing their thing

[olive ember]

if thats your basic ability its a force push

[tribal radish]

ooh

[olive ember]

should be this but the downgraded version you get at low levels

[tribal radish]

Is psyker a fun intro class? Kinda stuck between this and vet

[olive ember]

I believe you just don't have the peril quelling? but im not sure

[willow escarp]

Damn now that sucks

[languid tusk]

check out voidstrike UBER damage https://streamable.com/m6budr

[olive ember]

uhh I can't really say much about that since I've been playing since launch

[languid tusk]

mauler oneshot without crit, crusher oneshot with crit lol

[olive ember]

so my classes were literally all 30 before the class rework happened

[olive ember]

I mean he gets it back if he specs into the ability later down the line

its just at low level they downgraded the ability to a "basic version" and now you can choose to spec into the "upgraded version" or replace it with one of the other two abilities

if you completely invest into the push it basically quells 50% peril, gives a 25% peril res, and also gives 6 stacks of fire

tbh idk how good those are so I'm still debating keeping em

[plucky flax]

Ouch so close to 1 shot.

[olive ember]

wheres your funny crit smh

I just always go for the two shot tho tbh

safer and more convenient

one stab while they charge you and another when they miss

[idle bay]

if only Craft rework was next. Hardon bricked all my toughness curios (not even one with 1 out of 3 good perks) and made me blew 20k plasteel on it.... Great 🙂

[olive ember]

vs "do I hit the tiny af head and will the game choose to not crit"

[plucky flax]

RIP cleave damage

[idle bay]

But poke is great. right ? 🙂

[plucky flax]

Yeah I horde clear with assail anyway.

The poky stick and voidstrike are back up weapons.

[idle bay]

Freindly Ogryn on team is best backup weapon 🙂

[true lake]

with that low of cleave damage idk if it will be as good against armor

[olive ember]

for the penance I'd recommend against smite actually

well none of the blitzes are good for the penance but eh. smite locks enemies in place instead of grouping em up

[true lake]

which penance? cliffhanger?

[olive ember]

yeah

[plucky flax]

I am not hitting 2 targets with the heavies.

[olive ember]

Just take kinetic deflection, wait near that cliff spot thing for a horde, and then press F

kinetic deflection also naturally builds up peril

so your F will actually push

[true lake]

what I personally did for cliffhanger all the way back before the penance got nerfed was abuse the map where you have the two skinny bridges leading up to the area you have to use the interrogator on (I'm bad at mission names)

the enemies group themselves up on the bridge easily

also that one mission with the big open furnace area is a good spot too, lots of open areas you can easily push them into the lava at

[idle bay]

Was 20 enemies to push initialy ?

[true lake]

it was some higher number, was pretty hard lol

[silent chasm]

I was gonna use it to build up the brain badness to pop actually

[idle bay]

There was one specific spot that made that trivial 🙂

[silent chasm]

suppose I could use brain burst and just hold it tho

[olive ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1ecemABEzI

just use kinetic deflection imo

[true lake]

trauma staff secondary is pretty good at herding enemies along a bit if needed

[olive ember]

the "block uses peril instead of stamina"

so you just hold block and let the horde group up, they smack you which naturally builds up peril

and then once you have enough enemies press F

i mean the video is a good showcase

[true lake]

yeah that video is the map I was talking about

[queen fog]

i did mine at the uploading false data mission cuz of the extender bridges being next to a gap

[true lake]

those bridges are great spots to push them off at

[idle bay]

You can also build up peril fast by powering up Force sword multiple times

[urban dove]

What's our best non dueling sword? Like our best force sword?

[olive ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su22pMzqbhU

theres also this one as well from even further back

which you can do solo

cuz you don't need to get to the end

[queen fog]

depends 3 of em to choose from they all got their flavors of warp imbuing

[olive ember]

dueling swords?

Im not too familiar with them tbh but from what I can tell mk 4 is the best on rn

cuz its heavies are just double stabs that both do stupid damage

liek 3 shot crusher damage and the ability to one shot mutants

[urban dove]

The only time I really pull out the sword unless I'm max peril and surrounded. So I prefer as much cleave as possible. So the Ibbis ?

[olive ember]

all without having to do the whole slaughterer stacking and peril edging with a deimos slaughterer + unstable power FS

[true lake]

I put deflector tbh instead of unstable power

deflector has helped me a lot

[olive ember]

for force swords illisi is the horde clear option, tho if you are at max peril before you pull out the sword you might jsut want to go for a BM Caxe

since illisi's strongest option for horde clear is its special attack which costs peril

[silent chasm]

if you want lotza cleave, if you're not married to the psyker sword as a concept I've had fun with the Mk IV Devil's Claw

[true lake]

devils claw has some good uses just people don't like to look at it much

[worn cypress]

is devils claw good now?

[shell torrent]

Claw does almost 2k dmg on parry

[olive ember]

mk 1 or mk 4

[worn cypress]

lmao what

[olive ember]

apparently mk 7 is still kinda mid

[shell torrent]

Mk1 for cleave or Mk4 for strikedown heavy

[true lake]

mk7 is the mid one don't grab it

[radiant jasper]

what does everyone look for in a curio?

[urban dove]

So illis is best force sword

[olive ember]

Illisi is probably still the best force sword in general

[true lake]

personally health and wounds mainly on curios due to how easy toughness is to upkeep in this update

[olive ember]

Deimos has better single target

[urban dove]

I run 1 wound curiio one Hp and 1 toughness

[true lake]

I prefer deimos because it's fun watching the raid boss health bar deplete in seconds

[olive ember]

2 hp and 1 stam is what I run

[urban dove]

The secondary stats I look for Cooldown and stuff like that

[queen fog]

same i enjoy nuking mutants with my deimos

[olive ember]

But yeah duelling sword does more damage than deimos iirc so you guys could prob try it out

[urban dove]

I mean it's over if they add like a force greatsword or a force battle axe

Force 2hander

[olive ember]

Force halberd is an in universe weapon

[urban dove]

I'm down for that too

[queen fog]

i will, ill probs miss all of my slots other than the 4th having the quell button but that dont seem too bad

still got the other 2

[true lake]

yeah I grabbed one for when I make my gun build

[urban dove]

Force dagger would be cool too

[true lake]

I thought it would look cool with the trader hat and a big iron

[urban dove]

Lol

[true lake]

just need to get the right blessings on it

but been low on plasteel

[limber heath]

Aren't we all

FS makes the plasteel:diam ratio 1:2 for gathering and then 2:1 for crafting

[true lake]

idk why but after this patch plasteel has been hard to maintain

[teal needle]

I am starting to dread seeing psykers in a5s and a maelstroms, especially if they bring shards lmao

[olive ember]

There’s a bunch of non psyker players playing psyker solely for shards yeah

Tho tbh half of me thinks these guys would suck with any class they play with

Like dying to poxwalkers on psyker isn’t any different from dying to poxwalkers on vet or zealot etc.

[velvet crescent]

i tried assail

Aint feeling it, going back to brain burst

[true lake]

I'm likely going to switch my shard build to use warp siphon instead because I don't want to have my blitz be my crutch, it doesn't make me any better at the game

[olive ember]

Assail is weird in that the entire premise is just to spam the shit out of em

[edgy finch]

so after they fix the smite bug it's gonna be pretty mid no? and im assuming assail will get nerfed. but even after that it feels like all the staves are in a great spot

[olive ember]

You aren’t supposed to throw one you are supposed to throw like atleast 2-3 typically I do like 6 at a time

[true lake]

and assail is still good as a quick way to get rid of some of a horde or maybe pox hound modifier

[olive ember]

Imo yes but some people think smite is aight even as is but eh

[velvet crescent]

also is venting shriek bugged?

[true lake]

I mean smite is still good, just the whole infinite firing needs fixed

[velvet crescent]

I vent like
No peril

[olive ember]

How so

[velvet crescent]

Peril won't go down

[olive ember]

Base version or upgraded version

[true lake]

venting shriek works fine for me

[velvet crescent]

Upgraded

[olive ember]

Well I’m assuming venting shriek means upgraded version

[velvet crescent]

Yeah

[olive ember]

Dunno then cuz it works fine for me

are you channeling anything while using it

It should still work but idk

[true lake]

do you have any talents or other abilities that are generating peril?

or channeling something yeah

[raw tangle]

Guys would you want more damage or critical bonus on a sure staff or di those not matter 😅

[true lake]

mainly damage and crit bonus helps but doesn't need to be super high

since surge is now accustomed to damage and not horde stunning

[velvet crescent]

nope, ig one with the warp is based off peril?

.

oh my god

i never upgraded to venting shriek

[true lake]

oh lol

[velvet crescent]

no wonder it wasn't working

[true lake]

that would be your issue then

[raw tangle]

Got it i git two staff rn both have chare rate quell an resistance at 70+ and one has 80 damage and the other has 80 crit bo@true lake

[true lake]

share pics

idk what the dump stats are on surge, I never ran one

[cold oasis]

quell rate>quell resistance imho

[olive ember]

Charge rate probably still

But eh

[wicked badge]

Oi lads, i just got my first flammetrower staff whatever its called... And Isn't the void strike staff thing better ?

[olive ember]

Tbh surge is still one of those staffs you just use out the gate and it’s aight

[olive ember]

Voidstrike is overtuned AF rn yes

[velvet crescent]

yeah is unupgrade psykinetic wrath not working? based off the fact its text ate shit

[cold oasis]

Purgatus is a terrible staff, and i'm done people saying otherwise è_è

[wicked badge]

Yeah it hits like a fucking cannon

[olive ember]

Wrong opinion but

You’re entitled to it

[worn cypress]

sounds like skill issue

[true lake]

the base version of it doesn't expend peril anymore apparently if I'm correct

it just does the push

[wicked badge]

Nah its acceptable i just feel like void thingy is better

[raw tangle]

@true lake

[velvet crescent]

ok good to know

[true lake]

damn both those staffs are super close lol

[cold oasis]

2 easy

[true lake]

I would say use both in the psykanium and see which one you prefer

[worn cypress]

I havent managed to figure out a purg build I like in this patch tho, save for just emulating the old

[true lake]

they should be basically the same tho

[velvet crescent]

also

mfw the two vets constantly pick one to split off entirely

[true lake]

better yet just upgrade both of them and rip whatever blessings from one

[velvet crescent]

i was facepalming each time

hell even the other psyker wasn't innocent

"dude why are you out there"
"get in the elevator ffs"

[raw tangle]

@true lake thanks and will do both are better than my current surge so irs a win either way lol

[limber heath]

what does duelling want besides uncanny?

[jaunty moth]

what should i roll?

[true lake]

mk1 is the horde cleave one right?

[lyric burrow]

no thats mk4 last i knew

unless that changed this patch

[worn cypress]

shred or rampage are good

[jaunty moth]

mk1 good hord cleve

[true lake]

savage sweep probably good to keep if it's the crowd control sword

honestly shred might pair well too if chained hit counts hits in general and not on same target

[lyric burrow]

also are the best blessings for Dclaw still rampage/SS or no

[jaunty moth]

i was thinking of making it a crit sword for mt assail build

[raw token]

what are the best blessings for purg staff?

well actually what are the 3 tier 4s

idek what they are

[true lake]

nexus and flurry is what i prefer on it

focused channeling helps sometimes

[raw token]

oh ok

[true lake]

idk what else people put on theirs

[raw token]

well theres only 3 tier 4 blessings available

so prolly just nexus and flurry

[olive ember]

Nexus flurry are all you need

[cursive solar]

new psyker here, assail seems op?

[olive ember]

It is indeed

[left turtle]

New psyker, ive literally not seen anyone using Brain burst since the class overhaul, is it just bad now compared to how busted Assail is?

cause, i just started playing psyker like, an hour ago, and i like the ability to just look at someone and go:

https://i.imgflip.com/5lnbbc.jpg?a471000

[cursive solar]

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

what sucks most is the "UNLIMITED POWAAA"

no damage and fills the % thing fast

[left turtle]

its more supportive from what ive seen cause it staggers pretty much everything

a buddy of mine runs smite and he just runs up to a crowd of maulers and ogryns and just stunlocks them while we murderize the crowd

[woeful patio]

BB is still the specialist killer, Smite is more for utility, and Assail is definitely due to be tuned soon

But gods it’s so cool

[last sleet]

Is there a good resource for new builds? I've been kinda just typing "psyker build" into youtube and seen what comes up. Do we have something like diablos maxroll but for Darktide?

[turbid folio]

anyone got a build suggestion for a krieg psyker?

[left turtle]

ive been completely winging it since the overhaul lol

my zealot turned out nasty

[woeful patio]

Make your own build, something you like

It’s pretty intuitive

[left turtle]

honestly, yeah i think youll enjoy it more when you put it together yourself

[last sleet]

I like being a min/maxing meta munchkin.

[left turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/throw-up-dry-heave-vomit-gross-eww-gif-23254758

[woeful patio]

Foul

Just use Assail then

[spare owl]

Throw thy Shards till the heretic’s cease to exist

[last sleet]

Can I yell SAIL while throwing assail?

[spare owl]

😂 definitely

[wicked badge]

Damn

[left turtle]

wouldent be the weirdest thing psykers cry out

[terse dew]

anyone tryed full crit build on the right of the tree with shards ?

[spare owl]

Facts

[wicked badge]

I just killed a boss by exploding myself

On accident*

[left turtle]

the boss is dead and theres one less warp witch

win win

[covert saffron]

https://i.imgur.com/lVmGsPU.png

What should I replace the sustained fire with?

[true lake]

nexus probably

[celest hedge]

warp nexus I feel is always nice to get

[spare owl]

^

[true lake]

crits on that go insane

[covert saffron]

sounds good ty

[celest hedge]

i'm enjoying empowered BB alot but something about it felt off, didn't raelize that the gurenteed charge was only on elites, not elites and specials

[wicked badge]

And the game gave me some clothes for it

🗿

[true lake]

lol nice

I got that penance by blowing up some shotgunners, easier to guarantee the kill

[celest hedge]

i'm thinking of going full voidstrike build and I'm not sure how to go about that, I fee llike I should go cooldown aura and then shriek and warp charge stuff

[queen fog]

whatever enables ur ballin more go ahead

[unreal wasp]

Me just a guardsman, don't worry about it

[viscid matrix]

because of how strong void staff is, any build will work with it, except scriers gaze(you might be able to get scriers to work but it barely works)

[last sleet]

Does stuff like Warp Nexus and Transfer Peril only count on attacks with that staff? Or will my assails benefit from them?

[old flame]

I dont know why people keep saying smite does no damage, specced properly it lierally deletes hordes

[celest hedge]

i figured but I just wanted to know what goes well with it, I'm just sticking with all left side but aura so I can hopefully avoid dealing with peril pretty often

[viscid matrix]

only staff, you stow the weapon for assail so the blessings dont apply

[viscid matrix]

taking a full 0-100% to kill a horde isnt much damage

[last sleet]

Ah, alright. thanks.

[celest hedge]

scrier looks like something that could proabbly work on voidstrike, 20% crit combined with perfect timing seems cool, the AOE seems good for alot of kills for the peril stuff, and general damage is always good

[left turtle]

whatts the correlation of people on malice always pissing off demonhosts on purpose

[viscid matrix]

because they dont know any better yet

[royal falcon]

greetings fellow peril edgers

how’s it going today

[left turtle]

how, when theres 4 npcs saying "STOP, DONT PISS IT OFF"

[last sleet]

If you extract a blessing once, do you have it forever, or do you need to re-extract if you apply it?

[old flame]

Im still getting speclail and elite kills with it

[viscid matrix]

because its a enemy in their way and they dont know how not to kill all enemies they come across

[royal falcon]

doesn’t every player character have specific voicelines that translate to "leave the mf alone" like 😭

[left turtle]

exactly

[royal falcon]

although I swear there’s been more daemonhost triggers and psyker explosions after this update

I guess more newbies are rolling in

[left turtle]

the one i just had was completely isolated

and the vet ran up to it, stared at it, as it stood up

and just laid into it

[viscid matrix]

we only have 1 peril dump ability now, so if they use shield they cant peril dump

so more likely to go boom

[royal falcon]

they just have strong auras

[last sleet]

Playing psyker is living on the edge.

[upbeat parcel]

what's the best staff for boss damage now?

[viscid matrix]

Void

[royal falcon]

did someone say edge

[last sleet]

Hmm. How much more difficult is heresy than malice? Good Idea to jump into heresy quickplay?

[left turtle]

Ironically i think its easier cause you have less dipshits

[last sleet]

What if I'm the dipshit?

[left turtle]

you still have dipshits

but less

[upbeat parcel]

heresy is piss easy now everyone's power went up with skill trees

[left turtle]

its a bit of an adjustment though, Youll see a shit ton more armored enemies and ranged units to deal with

[woeful patio]

Forever

[limber heath]

if you rez someone with a deflector force sword out do you block bullet?

[upbeat parcel]

idk what build of psyker ur using but it's good brain burst target priority practice

[viscid matrix]

once you reach 500 for your weapons, you can comfortably do damnation and auric

[viscid matrix]

you can, but requires you activate block and revive at the same time

[woeful patio]

You can hit 500?

My oranges are 463

[viscid matrix]

i think its 550 for highest

maybe 530

[limber heath]

550 is cap

[last sleet]

Welp. I joined a strike team and we instantly lost. after I loaded in. Quick 4k Ordos and 100 plasta I guess.

[old flame]

DD looks really good fora gun build, but i heard DD doesn't work really well?

[limber heath]

120 from blerssing, 50 from per, 380 from stats

[limber heath]

yea i've lost before even loading in before. its nice when you're levelling up because free xp

[last sleet]

Sadly already 30. :D

[left turtle]

youre 30 and still doing malice????

[woeful patio]

Playing Malice and a meta-mancer

In 2023???

[shell torrent]

Why do I keep getting infinite bubble resets

[woeful patio]

Easy proc

[viscid matrix]

because we think its bugged, warp siphon reduces recharge of ability per warp charge

it has 100% redcution with 1 for shield

[old flame]

whats a good gun to use as psyker besides the auto pistol

[viscid matrix]

Vrak or Kantreal

[shell torrent]

I had like 5 bubbles out at once 🤣

Bubble for you and you and you

[fluid knot]

Actually i would say its the opposite

[viscid matrix]

like i said, its bugged, and they have more than likely put 100% cooldown for warp charges when you use shield

[fluid knot]

Heresy is really full of dipshits

[old flame]

blessings for the vraks?

[left turtle]

iunno, without fail, demonhost gets angry EVERYTIME on malice

rarely on heresy, for me

[fluid knot]

Thats probably new players atm not knowing what one is

[left turtle]

had 2 people fall off earlier

[fluid knot]

Though to be fair, this week has been an all time high of people aggroing them on Damnation too

[viscid matrix]

Headhunter and Deadly Accurate

[royal falcon]

What’s wrong with Heresy

[fluid knot]

The difficulty? Nothing, its just people are moving up from Malice an the enemy density is much higher, so they're easily panicked an thusly make catastrophic errors of judgement which usually ends the run

[woeful patio]

The people

[royal falcon]

I’m ngl I’m guilty of that, heresy gunners got me fucked up lol

[viscid matrix]

tbh if you want to avoid idiots, play auric, they avoid that cause its too hard for them

[round jay]

what's the meaning of these symbol? I know when there's none it mean I never completed this mission but what about those variation

[woeful patio]

Difficulty I believe

Look at the amount of chevrons

[plucky token]

When you want to complete your Psyker Penances and it forces you to use Brainburst....

[exotic agate]

thats literally what Im struggling with

Ive been at it trying to get the black pants

[viscid matrix]

get a group together, and work with them to get all the penances together

dont do it in a normal mission and throw the mission

[plucky token]

I really want those head cosmetics. Brainburst is so boring though compared to Chain Lightning.

[plucky token]

Yeah I might do that...or spam lowest difficulty.

[fluid knot]

Most penances cant be completed in the easy modes

[viscid matrix]

all the good penances require malice and herecy

[royal falcon]

do daemonhosts not spawn below malice?

[plucky token]

doh

[viscid matrix]

check redacted penances

[fluid knot]

Haha, have fun with Malleus

[plucky token]

What does Redacted Penance mean anyway? Are those penances still completable?

[fluid knot]

They are, but they'er the old set, which have some really obtuse requirements to complete

[viscid matrix]

yeh they just arnt the main ones anymore, wouldne be suprised if they add new ones later on too

[plucky token]

Ah so they still work but they are alot harder to get

[viscid matrix]

its easy as shit now, its like 4 enemies in 12 seconds

[left turtle]

i think they do but its extremely rare

[fluid knot]

Malleus is the monster one mate

Brainburst 90% of a monsters HP bar

[exotic agate]

thats the one im struggling with rn

[fluid knot]

That one you're thinkin of is pick + mix

[viscid matrix]

ohh that one, its easy too, just get a ogryn with a shield, they can anger a demonhost and you can murder it with BR

[fluid knot]

Aye, but that relies on you probably duoing a game, unless your coop partner is very good, its a pain

[exotic agate]

doing them online is such a pain

[viscid matrix]

you have to play private game, so have to set up a group before hand

[fluid knot]

I dont mind helping people out with that, but it can be a tirade if all you get is Spawns

[viscid matrix]

i wonder if the weakened monstrocities count

they only have like 3k hp instead of 30k

[fluid knot]

Maybe, idk, personally did it fucking eons before that modifer became a thing

[viscid matrix]

same

[old flame]

i guess the kantreal is better against armor than the vraks isnt it

[inland ivy]

what perks/blessings should i want on a voidstrike staff?

[royal falcon]

yes, they’re just penances that were moved to make way for new ones

[viscid matrix]

Surge and either Void nexus or Blazing spirit

if you use the 5 weakpoitns give guarenteed crit, you can skip warp nexus
if you dont use it, then warp nexus is needed to get crits

[feral raptor]

Weird question,
Yall got any good laspistols? I am unsure what talents to run, currentl, have
10%dmg to elites
25%dmg to flak armor

And 2 blessing which, on headshot give me ranged attack invulnibitly / supression invul

[viscid matrix]

Infernus and run n gun for blessings 😄
and flak/carapace/maniac are the best 3

[feral raptor]

Aight, thank you

[viscid matrix]

Maniac and flak cover basicly all of the elites/specialists except snipers and the ogryns

snipers are instant kills anyway

[feral raptor]

Did not know that

[woeful patio]

I get why surge is meta but voidstrike is my beloved

[still zinc]

I need the last two head cosmetics and I just can't with BB now. It's horrible.

[viscid matrix]

Surge isnt meta, Void is

[woeful patio]

I love shooting big balls into groups of enemies

[viscid matrix]

Void is current meta weapon for psykers, because of how powerful it is

[left turtle]

whats psykers best horde clearing melee?

[viscid matrix]

Illisi for hordes

[feral raptor]

Use the middle purple skills, i love running bb with it, makes it basically free to cast and faster too

Its good on higher difficulties

[still zinc]

I'll try that. Struggle to keep warp charges maxed and not let the team down at the same time.

[viscid matrix]

warp charges is only the bottom left side

you basicly cant use your ability to do it

[woeful patio]

Don’t they only decay one at a time now?

[viscid matrix]

yes

[feral raptor]

Warp charges got changed somehow, i always loose all of em for some reason

[viscid matrix]

but if you use an ability it dumps them all

[still zinc]

Maybe when you shriek

[last sleet]

Btw have they made getting grims and such worth it? I remember when I last played they just made the run more difficult but didn't gave any real reward.

[feral raptor]

Aah

[viscid matrix]

read this

[woeful patio]

Your Blitz eats the charges for more whatever

Yeah that

[left turtle]

i thought it was combat ability

[viscid matrix]

you venting shriek/shield uses them all up to reduce the cooldown for them

[woeful patio]

Big boy ability eats them

[left turtle]

which capstones should i use if i want to build completely around BB

[still zinc]

Takes notes

[left turtle]

the purple passives at the end

[still zinc]

One gets locked, I think

[viscid matrix]

tbh empower if you want it to do well

warp charges are very nice for that 24% damage increase tho

[naive imp]

I mean can you not stack the 2 brain burst cast reductions to have basically instant cast free peril brain bursts?

1 is 50% reduction of peril and cast and the other is no peril and 75% less cast

[viscid matrix]

tbh if you want the best BR build
you want to go with shield and warp siphon

since shield is bugged and you can keep recasting it every 10s

[naive imp]

Then you just slam brain burst and then venting shriek to dump peril

[feral raptor]

I oersonally use the middle purple ones, its feels good, plus a nice 50%dmg

[viscid matrix]

its Brain Rupture for the upgraded version

[left turtle]

itll be a bit before i can experiment with them, i started my psyker about 2 hours ago or so

[naive imp]

That’s what I meant
