Thoughts on smite?
uninterruptible attacks and Soulstealer be like
That's where you press venting shriek
i mean nobody survives that situation (and you'd only be in that situation after many, many screw ups)
Then start chucking, so unless you take scrier like a memelord
you should be fine
kid named being a dumbass and spamming m1 while trying to swap weapons and just frantically jazz handsing while u get smacked to death
(me irl)
smh i could never
which is the point
i mean assail does not fall off on higher difficulties lads lets be real
assail falls off when death is imminent

Assail falls off if ur bad
"damn a pack of 11 ragers my assail is useless"
even then, you can shriek and fight your way out in that direction, blocking and cutting down hordes
also true of literally everything
it's not like you're missing any significant breakpoints because it's also a decently fast-firing weapon
like i guess if u somehow get only crusher packs as elite patrols
assail doesnt do fantastic
a pack of 11 ragers is actually really good for assail, especially if you run empowered psionics with the talent for a free one when you kill an elite
but if ur gettin these we have some other problems going on here
i still run assail on melee maelstroms cuz of special spawns
yes that was de joke
just throw all your shards into that pack and they'll keep dying and replenishing your shards
and also trauma + mk4 ds
i was soloing hi intensity damnation with voidstrike ep assail for exactly this reasson

cant believe arco wasnt a deimos user but he swaps to mk4 dueling sword when its buffed
traitor
they gave me assail
read the room old man
how do u expect me to do that im illiterate
Dunno assail seems to be the only viable option except you exploit smite bug
tfw when Assail is enough to cover the entirety of my toughness regen with Soulstealer
i mean voidstrike by itself is viable
is soulstealer what they renamed warp absorption to
a conventional purg build is viable... more than viable
i never read the name lmfao
tsk tsk tsk
u can do gun psyker with kinetic flayer if ur a weirdo and hate fun too
what's the worst psyker build rn i should do it
prob something that at least has smite w/o EP and scrier's gaze
The 29 ragers meme with the soulblaze talent whatever it's called.
Wildfire. 
this needs to be "hitting", not kill, that way its reliable keep charges up on bosses
10% on hit? lmao
that's insane
Can someone explain to me how warp charges work/what they do
tbh sounds like a you problem
just a buff you get for doing certain things
which get peepee poopoo'd whenever you ult
just dont use them up beforehand?

The beloved is the players, the dream is darktide
10% from warpfire is way better than 4% from kills vs bosses
just burn all the scrubs
the one without people doing dumb stuff
that's my favorite too
No preference
errrr
least fav is investigation
i cant seem to find where i export a link to my build
i need to drop 1 point and im not sure where but i dont see where in the site i can get a link
because investigation tends to be where 90%+ of the dumb stuff happens

point is to go crit melee and soak damage into peril spam ult to soulblaze everything and be tanky while doing it, braiburst to kill far targets, staff for hordes, daggers single target
im missing 1 point for the 6stack perk i dont know what to drop
unironically kinetic resonance seems like the best thing to drop even though its a shame
id go soulstealer combustion and drop mettle
or rather kinetic deflection
how much do you block
with this build quite often
because you want peril high while meleeing
the thing is - im not even sure how good it is, mainly because i dont have actual factual breakpoints
well then mettle
so i dont know if +20% damage is needed for exaple
might just be generic +20% that does nothing
this one
ye i think dropping resonance is the only way lol
unless this is bad
i dont know how factually good it is
1s sounds so low
youre not often under fire when you go meleeing while you melee since youre suppressed anyway
me: "hey you guys should heal, you put the battery i nthe medicae and you're all fucked up"
"no"
we all dies less than 4 minutes later
I find it genuinely hilarious that they managed to never fix the one crippling issue Warp Charges always had from launch - Their absolute uselessness as a mechanic against bosses thanks to the On Kill generation.
Its better now that theyre not linked to BBs, But they always should have been generated on hits not kills (launch edition and current)
if you dont want to mix surge in to maintain peril then drop evasion
if you use surge then drop deflection
yeah i dropped evasion for now
build looks kinda solid
has answers for everything
on paper
Headtaker would've been ideal, but the Perks were +Stamina and Sprint Efficiency.
This isn't too bad, is it?
Pretty much. Especially as the mechanic now enforces losing them on ability use where before it was a choice.
Small chance per hit of relevant attack while keepoing the guarantee on special/elite and itd be great
yeah fact that you lose it on ult is also pretty dumb i really dont like it, but i prefer it over the 2 other bottom down talents
small axe :(
Empowered Smite with Voidstaff is my current favourite lol, i just love not being shackled to BB and Wcs anymore XD
psionices feels amazing but only on assail spam, on bosses you feel like trash
Disrupt destiny sounded nice I thought it would constantly mark several enemies but no it just marks the 1 gunner behind cover at the edge of it's range 😭
they really need to swap these around
true
Psionics is very good with brain rupture
its nuts for BB
Well with any luck the next balancing pass will adjust for the better.
Disrupt would be amazing if the mark only needed to die ionstead of needig to die by your hand
point is its good for a wave clearer but not a bosser
which is ok
and if they fixed the bug where marked enemies do not glow
can hold m2 when you know somethings coming with no peril cost
i kinda like the build i made i need to do more testing with it
which burst HH autogun is better
also im still not sold about combat knife vs dueling sword
vraks 3
geev me your knowledge
check the numbers on their heavies
and all shall be revealed
i know dueling does more heavy damage but you get less crits
sure, but at least on bosses they function as initial burst enhancement if you have the stacks before engagement.
Not having the charges isnt the kick in the balls a lack of WC damage bonuses is for a build that dedicates to them.
yeah
but realistically because you attack much more shouldnt the DPS be relatively equal?
Some stuff is still due a buff, these numbers arent set in stone yet
is stability the dump stat
if you close your eyes and believe
Disrupt Destiny would be better if you could have multiple marked targets up at once
No, that will be all over the place
Mobility is dump
i think the knife heavies and mk4 duelling heavies are similar in attack speed
That way you don't have to hyper focus on one guy that's behind cover, behind the horde.
Ideally you want it over 51% tho

I'd prefer if it prioritised closer targets at least
it's nice when you get marked kills back to back but the flow is gone when it marks something out of sight
I mean, that works as well, but why not both?

both would be nice
I wish they'd remove the "auto consume on ability cast" personally and put it in a node
yeah thats what this would do
Maybe in stead of the damage increase that ism andatory anyway
or one of the side node , they don't block either
like it used to be
Siblings! Now i don't intend to doubt my beloved as he says these are fine... But I'd love so hear what you all feel about these.
whats bis in general?
Because I'd really like to use it with scrier's gaze bonus damage please 
whats "toughness regeneration speed"
i know it probably is what it is but is it important?
how fast blue bar goes up
doesnt seem that important
This also affects the delay before it starts regenerating
I don't think it is considering all the active toughness regeneration tools we currently possess
so this is pretty much bis?
Psyker has quite good toughness regen sources, so no, it’s not that greatly important IMO
only affects regen from coherency
this is stamina not toughness
D:
if you have kinetic deflection, i wouldn't value any stamina stuff
also whats the best / correct way to craft a sword?
doesn't kinetic deflection consume Stamina ? Or do I confuse the sword perk and the node ?
your peril is always consumed first before your stamina
and it's 4x your max stamina, so it's quite some buffer
But you need the node that does that
ye
sure
My Blessed by Fate penance doesn't seem to be progressing, is it one of the bugged ones?
kinetic deflection is a fairly free pick though
Combat ability regen is not really good, as it only affects the rate at which your cool-down ticks
Toughness perk is kind of whatever. I don’t use any perks that grant toughness or health, though.
Stamina Regen doesn’t do a whole lot - Psyker already has good stamina regen delay
unless you're coming directly from the left
you have to be actively exploding
past 100%
just being at 100% isnt enough
Penance not detrimental to the whole team challenge 
i mean
you should be casting that extra BB if you need it
and then saving yourself with vent
works well with full charged staff casts also
At least it's not one of the Redacted penances from launch, which forced you to play so badly that they're now only allowed in private games
This is gonna kill me, the only penanc eleft and i have no idea which missions it is
, I've been doing quickplay non stop on damnation auric only, WTF
I'm gonna need that one because holy sheit, how in the wildernes after 150 hours of being aware of this penance ,doing mainly damnation quickplay did I never ENCOUNTER IT ,
Genius how it doesn't tell you that by default. By the way, what's a Flash Mission for the penance that requires one?
its usually investigate or espionage
@spice veldt IM THE PERFECT PSYKER
wtf
ye I've looked it up
technically at 0.00001 hp
im just waiting for missions
i got a purple before i got all the greens
difficulty scaling 
also whats the best / correct way to craft a sword?
but isnt it good to make stam regen better? or?..
for the mk4 duelling sword (which is the best among the duelling swords), here are my recommendations #psyker-class message
seems important at east
If you have Kinetic Deflection passive taken - not really
👻
I'm gonna buy the hat so I'm gonna need one
stamina is nice, but psyker in particular along with kinetic deflection has no stamina issues
I take it on most builds because it’s easily accessible
isn't that the smetlet one ?
short question, just had someone's fps being fried by my smite on hordes, is that a general problem for people or just a few? since I felt like smite could be heavy on some pcs when it goes all out 
I swear I've done one on damnation before
eh this is trash right
😔
anything to do with it or?
it has t3 shred so you will have at least 3 out of 4 mods being fine
it is what it is
if you don't have enough money/mats to spend, then low pen is whatevs cuz of uncanny strike
the mk4 DS in particular got its heavies buffed quite a lot
i dont know what the most financial way of crafting is
i have legti no clue
i just spammed concecrate
there's a bit of a balancing point
yeah thats what you do
you buy greys until you see one with good stats
then make it gold
anything i can do to make this sword good or is it a brick
I like sniper res, gunner res, toughness, stamian efficeny, sprint efficeny,
wilmer ur a goof ball
then i wasted mats on making it gold?
depending on weapon i want more sprint efficeny then others
if you dont want to use it
then yes
slap Uncanny Strike onto rampage and +groaners/poxwalkers into +carapace/crit chance/etc.
.. is it a lot of mats i just threw or?
essentially 2 games of damnation for an orange consecration or so
wait wait wait
buying lots of greys eats hella ducats
does the gray actually matter?
i thought they all roll the same
they have base stats
you look at it
you already have
depends on the weapon
I haven't played Auric missions yet, was away from DTide when those got implemented.
How exactly psyker works in a "no ammo pickups" mission? No peril quell or what?
the modifiers
hwo do i even know if the rolls i got are good on the base
you read them
psyker has no changes on no ammo pickups 😎
im so confused man
depends on the weapon
decided if the ones you want high are high
Gonna try assail meme in no ammo pickups. I guess I'll have to use voidstrike a lot more. 
usually damage
for melee weapons, mobility is the dump stat or the stat you don't care about
...for real? Lol, easy 1000 ranged scab kills i guess from this one.
also there's 1 million maulers, crushers, and bulwarks now
good that voidstrike is actually good against them now
what am i even reading here
trash
hwo do you know its trash
but other stuff like penetration/stopping power/finesse are good
331, low damage
low stats that you dont want low
depends on the weapon and whether you hit breakpoints
My mk4 has 332 modifier. Xd
not 80% damage
best that vendor can spit out is 380
how do i know whats low and whats high
tbh on the mk4 DS it's prob good enough since the heavies are good enough to two-shot most things
big number good
what are the best metrics
you look at them
-_- bruh
380 total max
4x 80, 1x 60
so how is my current sword?
its a sword alright
kinda low pen but not bad
nice numbers
it's kind of meh
stats arent too big of a deal
this is the entier sword ye?
duelling swords have Uncanny Strike so low penetration is fine
penetration and mobility switched and it'd be a keeper
damage and finesse could be higher too
main thing is blessings and perks
and Penetration only scales Carapace on the mk4 duelling sword (it doesn't scale Flak because it's bugged)
carapace enemies are important but it's whatever if you're not playing melee maelstrom
nice
neg stabbing mauler in head is peak
its fine, swap the groaner/poxwalker perk and rampage blessing for other stuff
rampage for uncanny
peak peak poo poo
thats much better
thats the correct reaction
do i care about finesse at all?
yes
or is it ust damage cleave and pen?
finesse is attack speed + weakspot/crit damage
you eat the poopoo?
damage > finesse/pen > cleave > mobility
so this sword atuomatically goes to the garbage because we cannot change base stats later?
correct
yes
on the mk4 duelling sword in particular, i'd rate mobility > cleave damage since it only scales unarmoured/infested armour mods (bugged to also not affect flak; guess where the bug making it not scale flak is coming from)
i guess yea
what does mobility mean? should i care its this low?
press v
mouse over it
and see more numbers 
you see the dodge count
you want big number
small number no
mobility gets 5 dodges instead of 4 at 50%
theoretically can i get 80 on everything?
no
no
380 total max
oh
but a 380 could have 60 damage
so its better to look for good stats instead of a 380
and you get blessings by sacrificing weapons that have them
blessings*
i dont even know what perks im looking for
like this
Consaidering an Agri IAG rn
brain off: maniac and flak
brain on: go into the meatgrinder and start crunching numbers
do i keep rolling this?
whats the blessing
not bad
riposte is fine keep rolling
could be worse
its just pox walkers and pox hounds
yeah
yes
for second blessing
you get to reroll 2 of the perks and/or blessings
so 2 good perks/blessings is perfect
it is? 😐
i thought riposte is kinda bad because doing a counterrattack doesnt count as a dodge
you need to actually do a dodge
and i use dueling because countering is fun
it makes no sense they did it this way i dont get it
why not give the extra damage on successful riposte
i did roll a perfect shred though
thats your 2 rolls
im trying to do penances because shrug might as well
no uncanny strike is a shame
uncanny strike blessing and flak damage perk would be my picks
how did we ever use brain pop and scream, my god
can i use a blessing i ripped from another weapon to this weapon or how does it work?
before removing the infested, i'd check the breakpoint for 1-shotting poxwalkers
you delete a weapon and unlock one of its blessings to apply to other weapons
its not close
why am i even given te option to use lesser stuff
why would i ever want a lower tier roll?
cheaper
as in, close to enough, or, close to not being enough?
yeah just dont
anyway can i choose a new blessing or is it random
you choose a blessing youve ripped from another weapon
well, I take Rampage and Infested on mine, and it's comfortably 1-tapping poxwalkers with lights
which, while it's only 1 at a time, DS lights are pretty fast
@spice veldt surge scriers w/ smite and warp charges 2ez 3 brain point ur potion's are not strong enuff for me traveller
😔
Is that a mod?
scoreboard mod
ye scoreboard mod
xbox players stay losing
so do i buy these and then upgrade them? or what?
yeah same deal
bonus aquilas is consolation prize for no mods
to get the best ones, yes, buy and upgrade
but its only 15/20%
its a low roll
15 is not low
do i waste money on this?
max is 17%, not 20%
2% difference isn't worth stressing about
says 20
Where do I find this info
Is there a wiki or spreadsheet
it says 20, but, max you can get atm is 17
why
because fs hates u
the same reason you can't get a 100% damage weapon, max is 80%
this is the other one, 20/25% right? also the second perk is trash
in the destiny 2 community we call this a "bungie moment"
im gonna assume at some point youll be able to overload weapons to get to 100%
and itll probably be a random stat
i mean that looks.. pretty good?
cuz fuck you
i don't understand the stats you need on curios
sure
toughness
perks can be swapped on them
and more toughness
curios have a primary blessing and then up to 3 perks, 2 of the perks can be swapped around
it will help you get more rolls
for primary blessings, you generally want health of toughness
What do you not understand
for psyker go toughness
for the perks, health, toughness, toughness regen, sniper-resist, gunner-resist, stamina-regen, block-efficiency, are all reasonable choices
REALLY?.... 😐
because psyker has low base toughness and also so many toughness regenerating perks in talent trees
the combat ability reduction is pretty good, with the aura + curios you get 21s cd
I don't have a problem with dockets, I make a mil in a few hours of play
valid but u got 1 more modification ting what u gonna do with it
i run 1 wound, 1 health, 1 toughness blessings
and dockets
dockets dockets dockets
nothing else matters
a friend indeed

30% faster revive speed feels nice
has anyone reached 30 stack of distrupt destiny ?
30s stack duration is much better
15s is just way too short
o yah I would go 3x toughness with 3x toughness, combat ability and revive speed because i go down too much, but I'm also a new player and dunno exactly what I'm doing yet
I just know toughness stonks
health curios have been shown statistically to result in less deaths, but everyone "feels" that toughness is better
I tried it but with the " yeah it's random" the "hey I'm going on this one ,NOPE this one HAHA GOTCHA it's this one" , and finding all my trauma of early psyker stacks , truly someone at fatshark is a troll
Prior to this update I’d argue toughness was a lot better
these are the best resistance perks
But toughness curios have been slightly fucked with the general cut to toughness unless invested into on the tree
flamers and bombers strip toughness but dont do a lot of damage
Gunners unloading on me for 0.01s and shredding all my toughness and all my health
pox hounds and muties are disruptors, dont do a ton of damage
it's mostly because at high difficulty , for a psyker ,your health goes from max to empty in 2 slap of a poxwalker stumbling on you
so having 20% more of 0.1 sec of survivability never feels good
that, and, 90% of the time if I'm taking any damage at all, its either by being boxed-in by bomber/flamer fire, or a surprise train of bursters
plus toughness regenerates and health does not
which toughness won't help with
not me consistently failing malice missions
while I think tougness gives you damage resist and yes toughness help with melee since it's absord a percentage too
I miss having 300 toughness on a vet in pre-talent updates
But on the bright side
Still 500 hp oggy

I don't know if health would help with the buster train either 
Just blow the bursters up ez
heaving enough hp to not get two-shot by bursters is nice
They all blow up in the end, just too close to my viccinity
you need >165 hp to avoid dying to two bursters and 200 hp to guarantee that you won't lose a wound to them

I’ve a zealot friend with the great meme of 7 wounds at auric damnation
It’s beautiful
I'm new, how does toughness factor into that
it doesn't, since bursters ignore your toughness completely
Bursters don’t care bout yo toughness
very nice
You ain’t tough enough
they will inflict the same amount of damage regardless of your toughness
Bursters can eat a dick
WELCOME TO THE HAB DREYKO, HOW TOUGH ARE YA?
The vet always shoots them right before i push them
and whats the difference between tox and normal flamers
One has pretty fire
green
The other has cringe fire
does one ignore toughness or something
I personally like my toughness cuz i'm in the kill-faster-than-i-die mentality
No
I got called top 1% psyker. 
though our toughness regen is pretty good
They both break toughness
Did you throw assail rocks
one just permanently emotionnaly scares you ( with corruption)
Top 1% assail abuser.
It used to be the alarm clock manifactorum
thanks
Most Sane Psyker:
Melee only maelstrom. The zealot was really really good. We did most things as duo.
woe
darts be upon ye
Stealth knife zealot I dunno what but he was zooming around doing big things.
Seems like op build.
Its hard not to abuse assail though ...
nearly failed a maelstrom with that zealot, when he triggered end event while everyone else was, like, 3 rooms behind
Where’s my RGB assail rocks mod
just only throw a couple at a time
Where’s my gamer assail
this sounds amazing
I want my LGBT lights on my pretty crystals
carameldansen assail mod
Oh yeah he ran really fast. But he met his match.
I am also a fast boi.

i have yet to taste speed zealot, seems mad fun to have that much mobility on standby
yeah well have you ever lost a run because 3 of you went down, your ogryn clutched up and made it through the horde and progressed to the final room of the mission to rescue you only to reALISE ALL THREE OF YOU ARE AWAITING RESCUE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION
check your blood-pressure before playing speed-zealot, it can't be healthy
Man, I'm a big fan of Agri IAG + Mk II Tac Axe on my Scrier's Psyker
I hate rotation shop
There was 2 hat I wanted but now I can only get one because the other disapeared
well done Big fish,
Here's how I played in a chill game mode. Obviously in maelstrom you gotta be on your toes more. Just left click and take no damage.
https://youtu.be/fMrd1KbcBUI
is the heavy laspistol any good now?
Yeah
It's been decent for a while, but now that we have full on crit builds, you can get good damage out of it with Infernus
Scrier's Gaze Laspistol might go hard tbh
Based, yeah I'm running a crit build rn, I will give it a try. what blessings you rec?
Oh, psyker has a base CDR aura that gives 7.5% CDR and taking the other one makes it 17.5%. With curios you get 29.5%
the name of the stamina curio is Endurance, and the wound one is Survivor, what are the toughness and health curios called
Infernus (Preferably T4) + Reasuringly Accurate or Between The Eyes imo
Infernus is the big one though
shield GG is like so good
It's your Perks + Infernus that matters
no more cope like prepatch 13 
only vraks 3
:(
vraks7 is funny 1 tap head
Why gun psyker when you can just abuse assail and voidstrike before nerf.
cuz gaze goes brr
Because abusing stuff is boring and gunker is fun

also dont forget bout bugged smite as well with empowered psonics, palatine could overhear u
Because Gun Psyker is fun
I’ve been doing smite dueling sword with SG+DD and it’s been fun. Big crits and melee when I need it, ability to freeze whole map for those dozen crusher moments
Gunker does not sound gounds
Just did a vraks 3 run and it pairs nice with SG for sure
Gunker
Space magic lake tho
Also shooting up peril to blast toughness regen into space is gud actually
Warp expensiture with the nutty peril gain from SG and smite means I’m pretty hard to kill as a melee monkey if I’m careful with dodges and blocks
And quell on kill feeds the other side
Is there a site to get the best perks /blessings on weapons?
Hi psykers, except for NOT standing infront of yous, how can an Ogryn be a benefit for you in your party?
Just keep on doing whatever you do big guy.
what guns are good on gunker builds nowadays? I am willing to create my first ever gunker build.
Well then.
I've been using the recon and laspistol as they seem to work pretty good
is trauma staff garbage?
which recon, if i may ask?
They can take a rumber and kill bosses for you
You know. . . Despite being green and me having a pretty solid void strike staff. . . I think that one is pretty stronk all things considered! Yeah, I will upgrade it.
I'll have to hop on and check but I want to say it's the mk6
Aside from a particular flavor of weakspot headhunter gunpsyker, pskyer's boss damage is anemic at the best of times.
I nutted when I saw that perk
The perk can be replaced. I am mostly curious to see if I get any good blessings! But I am broke of
. Got any spare change?
mk7 would have more damage tho, so I am willing to try that out first...
Yeah nvm it's the mk7 I'm running, mk6 is probably my vet
Your psyker-badge, I'm gonna have to revoke it
if you're low level, then the trauma staff will feel quite terrible to use because of the wildly large stat scaling it has
lmao
wait so if i have rending strike, will that make my first hit on an enemy do more damage? or only subsequent hits
idk what people are saying thats a good roll
its a good roll but it would be better if it was vraks 3
Well it happened, I finally blew up and got the derp penance
Any tips for a new Psyker with a fair amount of Vermintide 2 experience? I struggle to use brain burst effectively and mostly feel I'm better off just shooting or stabbing things to keep enemies off the greener members in my teams
Also dome spam with warp charges is lol
Makes it really easy to spam brain burst too
Brian burst is for damaging enemies at very far distance, enemies with carapace armor, and bosses since it hits weak spots directly
Gottchu
You can preemptively charge brainburst with right click before you have a target but it costs more peril
LOTS more
Ogryn mid line is the goofiest shit ive ever played
“Did I get shot? Can’t tell, didn’t take damage”
But it's pretty niche, you definitely need to take melee / ranged to fill out closer encounters and dealing aoe damage
It’s like playing a friggen leman Russ tank lmao
It is nice for maintaining warp charges tho, and it's great for countering gunners and snipers
I recommend trying a different blitz (ability) than brain burst
Yeah I wanna try smite when I get it
New psyker just pick assail and do good damage. :>
Smite and Assail are both pretty easy to use, yeah
i actually recommend you try assail
But assails strength feels so cheesy atm
I recommend against assail
It is significantly better than you'd think
You won’t learn how to play anything other than meme builds if you use assail
well it'll get you through levelling your psyker
Yeah but why does it matter how fast you level. Enjoy the ride and learn the class
fake news, I learned everything I know from using assail, its how i became a man
no i must rush level 30 asap so I can get my keystone
If you're using a voidstrike staff there's a lot of niche overlap with assail too
brain burst is not a main tool. it's meant to be used for dealing with snipers and heavily armored enemies that your gun typically can't deal with.
Assail is a bit better at killing spread out targets, better when visibility is poor, and better vs enemies in cover
Assail is great for aim assist brrrt
i just didnt like BB playstyle, maybe I'll try it out once I reach 30 with empowered psionics
But then again I haven't used it since unlocking blitzes
BB takes some getting used to, but it’s well worth the time invested learning it
Gottchuuuy
so what is the best psyker build currently??
It's nice on higher difficulty since you can take a quick peek from behind cover, lock a target, and go back behind cover to safely finish out the charge
Crit Assail Build
do you want shield or vent push?
It does feel too slow on lower difficulties
I mean if you aren’t abusing empowered smite yes
Smite feels awful to use, so much peril for so little damage
You ideally want Prescience, so either Shield or Scrier's Gaze
wait assail can crit?
Yes
It also gets easy weakspot hits for True Aim
Which means nigh unlimited uptime on Empathic Evasion
-
empowered smite has no peril
-
the peril gen is the point, you can use it for other stuff b/c peril is a resource not a penalty
Damn, I didn't even try it because i thought it would be too good to be true
SG with assail is a boom button
got it, dont use smite at all, that works!
🙄
But then again i have done my talent tree weird, after unlocking combat ability I put a few points into the top talents, then pushed for damage on peril before going for my keystone. So I'm leaving keystone literally till the very last
I need to set up voip for my steam deck 
critless assail was already good but this is stupid
Newer friends dont wanna stay in cohesion and it makes me sad
I just thought a nude keystone would be less useful than multiple sources of toughness regen and peril damage
i have been running a warp charge assail, with the shock staff, and it seems to be ok
Hey look I wanna see what's over there and I'll come back in a second okay wait why do I hear a mutant
Surge staff is the worst rn
Surge melts carapace, which is the weakness of assail
Doesn't voidstrike also melt carapace
It’s fine on malice but it lacks aoe, lacks speed and has high peril on a staff that isn’t good for peril builds
Just take void and embrace your meta chasing
I turned to help the new veteran, they disconnected and when I turned around they were like a mile away and I beat down a horde of pox walkers before a single dog pounced me and killed me, then I got to watch them abandon a downed veteran 
im not a fan of void staff, also havent found one worth using
They just dont stop moving forwards lol
The amount of times I killed a carapace ogryn in 2 shots at range before my team could do anything really surprised me
probably missing the recon mission
oh okay thank you!
i just need to find a good void staff before i can compare it, but i have an amazing 79 damage shock staff, with 80 warp resist and 78 charge speed, so its been my goto
Also is it normally to inconsistently complete malice tier missions
because it feels like I fail a little less than half of them
which one is the recon mission?
does anyone have a builder link to crit assail build?
Ah yes. My favorite blessing.
deal more damage, on close range kill
it doesnt always appear in the terminal, which is why you're bottlenecked, but it's the one where you scan stuff throughout the mission
this one?
yes
thank you!
anyone able to send me a build editor link for crit assail
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor
Crit assail’s mad easy to build tho u just hug right side
DD confuses me @spice veldt
sometimes i get stacks
sometimes i dont
do you have an answer, psyker sensei
like you're killing glowing targets and getting no stacks?
yeah
I do not have an answer 😔
i forgive you... this time
are you looking at the right buff indicator
yea
have you tried turning it off and on again
...
That's why you take a gun, and then use a Duelling Sword, Combat Axe, or the Deimos for Carapace.
Plus, I've made SG Assail work
Warp fire does in fact go brr
Man, Infernus Laspistol with Scrier's goes hard.
i am really liking the las pistol yee
i am using it on every zealot build rn
and on my alt-right psyker build
“Work” but you get like five arrows and then your guy is seeing purple
The gun yes it’s gunker power
Work good melee too

I do a crit voidstrike gaze
i knew you'd appreciate it
Works really well when I hit gaze and enter sicko mode
Swap stamina to either flak or maniac preferably maniac imo
You can learn what damage type each enemy is in the meat grinder
When you damage an enemy there's a pop-up telling you what the damage is
Yeah voidstrike is op against carapace.
Note:
Different locations may be different types of armour
Yes, I know, "Meatgrinder Meta", but with the density of Elite spawns now, this shouldn't be hard to pull off.
:D
are you listening to soft guitar music
Yes
Meh meatgrinder
Assail most balanced blitz in the game right now. 
The density of Elite spawns should make it relatively easy to replicate.
The empowered elite kill thing is just poor design
im sorry
It’s a lot easier to execute on stuff in meatgrinder when everything is standing still, im very doubtful it’s something that could be reliably done without popping in auric Damnation. I’m sure some people can, I’m just saying I doubt it’s reliable
what does finesse mean on the dueling saber?
I've done it plenty of times.
Often reach between 20 to 26 seconds in SG.
That's op man I've never used gaze in a real game.
🤷♀️ have you popped doing it?
Congrats, you’re the magic man
armor pen I think
Let’s see if someone else pulls it off
Penetration doesn't mean penetration?
finesse is penetration?
Do not blow up difficulty: impossible.
omg just press v
which perk do I swap?
stam into maniac damage
Headshots and crit damage. It boosts the damage increase (not the total damage)
Man I don’t know I’m just guessing
Don’t give guess answers please
Weakspot damage multiplier
Finesse is headshot damage.
thank you
Finesse is weak points AND crit
also, I forgot to say that I am still farming for Shred blessing to replace Rampage
do u guys know about da fog machine
rocks
da FOGE MACHINE
so which saber is better? it's the one with higher cleave right?
you can just hover over the finesse stat in stat breakdown
and it will tell you what it affects
the daemonhosts, yeah
Watch da FOG MACHINE and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
its party time
I'd hold for higher base stats and get rid of both
I generally use 360+ if the stat spread is good and 370+ preferably
The one on the right is good. CLeave damage is dump stat.
Did you wiggle smite over blood to create massive amounts of fog 😂?!
is there any incentive to just equip higher rating like there is in vermintide or is it just a case of better stats
if u just target swap enough it will spawn the fog every time again
like a fog machine
its fixed soon so enjoy it while it lasts
OIC
That’s funny I’m doing that 😂
If I can get a relic zealot we can have ULTIMATE DISCO
i just tossed it
Bruh why
Massive. Just use the base stat power though. The total really isn't that important
Assail needs to be nerfed
i have purge and smite
cleave damage is technically just another penetration stat
its just a subset of penetration
barring the flak adm error

Yeah but it's for additional target.
Unless the tool tip lies.
tooltip wrong
they never implemented a version of penetration for non primary targets so cleave damage on every weapon is literally just another primary target pen stat

its different adms
except for flak on ds4
where its broken and neither affects it iirc
so usually cleave damage will be shit like infested and unarmoured
And it doesn't say more damage against carapace or something.
and penetration will be flak/carapace
Addressed. FS is talking internally for a PC gift
cool cool
its just another case where shit be rused
Yeah so cleave damage don't really matter on duelling sword 4 tbh.
Xbox players got a bunch of cosmetic coins
It's good for cleaving weapon like claws.
I don’t even like the cosmetics
its a damage stat so it nedes to be 80. everything 80
Penance gear got more flair
How dare you not buy the krieg outfit that's overrated
Well if it was 80 it wouldn't 1 shot mutie without crit anyway.
Trash tier modifier. 
Based fart recirculator
mine is and it actually 0 shots it
That's op mane.
Rounding be like
can't die if my base hp is 0 
-x% perks on curios when
I really fucking hate how when zealots have that corruption cleanse thing, it just gives you that tiny sliver of corruption on your health bar
0 actual impact. I just hate it
That aura is op for grims and bursters train modifier I guess.
It’s great I love it
I'm a slave for loner aura. 
I just hate this bug
Link a good soul fire build setup with talents and weapons plz
i got you
scoreboard for proof of success
auric maelstrom melee enemies
(i am mai)
on purga staff, you want the burn stat to be 76% or higher
you also want cloud radius to be as high as possible
we use deimos because it's an amazing single target weapon
whereas purga is for hordes/groups
deimos could be swapped for dueling sword, if you wanted
try to play at high peril
as a rule, i try to never go below 60%
THANK YOU 🔥🔥🔥 .
yw
i know soulblaze/purga build very well
it's been my main psyker build for months
How does it fair with the update ?
more powerful than ever before
and that's saying something
because a few months ago, the blessings on your weapon used to affect soulblaze
is the 10% for power charge on soulblaze kill worth using over the 4% on coherency kills
holy shit darktide got the nercromancer first
so you could put slaughterer on a sword, and have slaughterer proc and boost the damage of your soulblaze
Awesome
This, best aura
Ideally, you want a deimos force sword with low warp resistance
You can use it as a tool to quickly gain peril for damage
Or to gain it, just to quell it for toughness
Illisi is better for that
I know
Because if you have to swing at something it wont animation lock ya
Deimos single target damage king
Pairs better with purga staff
My video
I know all about illisi
name its favourite band
abba
Fleur
Just out damaged an Assail Psyker with nothing but a Laspistol, Brain Burst, and a Tac Axe

Assail guy fell asleep during highly engaging gameplay.
does toughness damage reduction reduce the health damage you take
No
or just increase your effective toughness
It decreases the damage you take to your Toughness yeah
Assail should have mic controlled trigger
