psyker-class

[runic hornet]

purg is basically CC too

[odd siren]

Purg + warp charges is too good

[runic hornet]

when you're killing poxwalkers that are coming stringing in

[odd siren]

infinite shield

[runic hornet]

purgatus killing poxwalkers slightly faster rather than smite balling them up and killing them all together

[odd siren]

its just such good aoe and support

Teammates kill snipers

[runic hornet]

oh you're going the infinite shields build

i dunno, I didn't find it that useful

a funny meme and then your teammates

die to muties anyway

or poxwalkers

[odd siren]

thats why i like the support focus of the build

but yknow, thats whats great about the update

different playstyles

[runic hornet]

I just strongly disagree with going with purgatus

even without empowered smite

smite does not build up perils very fast

you can go 0->100 smite, quickly vent it, 0-100 again and the enemy barely has time to recover

with the fast-quelling node

[odd siren]

purg + talent that gives 10% chance on kill to give charge

[runic hornet]

I don't like that talent at all

soulblaze has to last hit

[odd siren]

well, then you dont have to use it lol

I'm having grteat success with it

[runic hornet]

I would much, much rather get 4% coherency kills

good teammates will steal all your last hits in combined situations

[odd siren]

idk i litersally drop shield, then its already off cooldown

[runic hornet]

the increased proc rate is not worth the hoop-jumping of "they have to die to soulblaze last hit"

[odd siren]

and i instantly stack back to 6

[runic hornet]

you can do that with cohernecy 4% too and much more consistently

except in situations where your team is letting you free farm in which case your team is doing nothing anyway

[odd siren]

hm maybe

[runic hornet]

the problem is that it requires you to be selfish

the better your team is the worse it is

if it were

"when enemies with soulblaze on them die"

it'd be amazing

[odd siren]

eh im gonna agree to disagree

[runic hornet]

as it stands there are waves where I will pop 6 stack venting shriek soulbalze

and get 0 stacks

because the other guy just blew up the horde with a grenade or voidstrike

feels bad

[acoustic spade]

ah the antisynergistic blessings in Melk's shop

[magic slate]

what stats should I care about with a voidstrike staff?

is it just damage, charge rate and warp res?

[idle bay]

Melk saved Darktide from deleting for me today.
Selled me a recon lasgan with t4 Infernus i was missins for this baby.
I blew ~10000 plasteel to get this and got zero lasguns with t4 infernus

[plucky flax]

Do you need to take lightning storm for unlimited power build?

[acoustic spade]

I've only ever seen Rank3 Infernus, and only on my Veteran.

...Just a tiny bit jealous. Just a little bit.

Gz on finally getting it tho

[idle bay]

Melk sold it for my Psyker, and this gun crafted for my Vet 🙂

[acoustic spade]

Wait, Blessing inventory is shared?

[idle bay]

Priase the FS for shared blessings pool and weapon familiies

[idle bay]

Yes!

[acoustic spade]

ummm

No wonder everyone has so much more money than me

[slate oasis]

damage, charge rate and warp resistance. I don't think blast radius matters much and quell speed is fine even if it's only like 60

[idle bay]

Blessing shared among 1) Weapon families 2) Characters

[viscid wraith]

characters don't share blessing unlocks, no

[magic slate]

thanks for confirming it 🙂

[idle bay]

Wrong

[viscid wraith]

i can show you the infernus 4 that my psyker has and my veteran doesn't, if ya like

[magic slate]

I can do the complete opposite lmao

[idle bay]

I unlocked Infernus t4 for Recon Lasguns on psyker and in appeared on my Vet

[viscid wraith]

or i would, if the game asn't doing the 3013 yoinky sploinky right now

[acoustic spade]

That's probably Infernus for Hellbore or something Vet specific I guess?

[viscid wraith]

for the laspistol

[summer prairie]

@runic hornet you do get a warp charge if someone kills a target with SB when you have the 10% node

[magic slate]

I got a t4 infernus for the infantry lasgun on my psyker and just unlocked it for my account, I can infact put it on my vets guns

[idle bay]

Because Vet and Psyker have.. a bit different Las pistols . Vets cant do force push on theirs

But for other weapons that they share and that work the same for bott classes - Blessings are fully shared

[odd siren]

what are best purg staff perks?

[raw token]

does each character have a different melk shop every day?

oh well they must

[acoustic spade]

Yes

[idle bay]

Each class - have different for sure. But i never tested - if different characters of same class have same or different...

[raw token]

oh true

[idle bay]

If they do - it makes sense to have extra characters just for Melk goodies

To grab and strip blessings for collection

[strong pilot]

extract blessing?

[idle bay]

Who uses MKII ? Ofc extract 🙂 And use on Illsi or Deimos

[summer prairie]

I wouldn't destroy it for the blessings, maybe at some point they make obscurus good

amazing rolls

[strong pilot]

i like the tank angle

[summer prairie]

well, the perks/blessings aren't amazing

[strong pilot]

many months ago this would be good iirc

[summer prairie]

but anyway not like you are going to be using the blessing right now

[strong pilot]

i am a duelling sword andy so makes sense to save it i guess

[west nymph]

So, did they change empowered psionics so it no longer lets you infinite smite? i don't see anything in its description that says the next smite has reduced cost

[odd siren]

i think it was apparantly a bug

not sure

[west nymph]

has it been fixed?

[odd siren]

not sure either

I think it still does that

[west nymph]

hm

[odd siren]

smite is still good not infinite tho

I've been like it it alot

[runic hornet]

can confirm, infinismite is still a thing

very silly

[west nymph]

I'm just gonna make a build that isn't reliant on empowered psionics anyway

[runic hornet]

live out your emperor palpatine fantasies

[west nymph]

i prefer getting a feel for how things are going to be with bugs fixed anyway

[slate oasis]

flak and maniac imo

[tardy sedge]

Hello guys, while ı playing smite with Psyker, sometimes my warp doesn't increase and I can use it unlimitedly. how do i do this?

which perk?

[west nymph]

empowered psionics. but as someone just clarified above, its a bug

[slate oasis]

yeah basically when you get the buff from the empowered psionics keystone it allows you to channel smite infinitely as long as you don't release the button

[tardy sedge]

oh,oke thx guys

[summer prairie]

If someone kills a DD marked target that has your SB on it, you still get a DD stack. I guess that's also how getting a warp charge with the 10% works; if you have done damage to the target within e.g. 0.5s of the target dying, you get a stack.

[odd siren]

thats how it worked before the update

thats what I thought too

purg staff go brrrrrrr

[azure rapids]

hey guys someone willing to play with me? Im tired of random xbox players, im leveling my zealot and I would love to go to tier4 difficulty but they make it so hard to even finish tier 3 without me carrying the whole game and its very tiring

[summer prairie]

I can get the same effect by pushing a DD marked target repeatedly and having the bot kill it; if the push happens just before the bot killing it, I get a stack.

[viscid matrix]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum jump into the voice channels, and recruit people in the Vox channels

[unique mist]

wait so if voidstrike staff ignores armor does that mean it doesn't benefit from like +25% carapace damage

[raw token]

wth, i just went into a game and it gave me a build with perks from the talent tree, but a staff from a different loadout slot

[raw token]

still does

[viscid wraith]

palpatine mode still works for the time being, though i wager it'll get changed come next balance patch

the voidstrike bangballs do have damage reduction versus carapace, but it's a pretty small amount, like 10-20% or something

[spice veldt]

+damage perks do not interact with the armour damage modifier system

[unique mist]

i am unsure what that means

[viscid wraith]

yeah it's just brittle/rending that got changed with how it handles damage scalars

[spice veldt]

+25% carapace damage is just +25% of the current damage that you deal to carapace

[viscid wraith]

the +dmg perks just increase the apparent damge of the attack, it doesn't interact with any damage resistances

[spice veldt]

if you deal 1 damage to crushers, then +25% carapace damage means that you will deal 1.25 damage to them

it's just a simple damage multiplier

[viscid wraith]

which gets calculated before armor type resistances

[spice veldt]

if your attack deals 60% damage to carapace, then +25% carapace damage will change nothing about this armour damage modifier

it will remain 60%

[plucky flax]

Damn just played smite for the first time it's actually op to carry noobs.

They kinda don't want to hit the smited enemies tho for some reason. Gotta ping it for them.

[steel egret]

Some seem to think smite does enough to kill aswell

Malice thats probably a thing

[plucky flax]

I use voidstrike most of the game and smite when it's big mixed horde.

Seems to work pretty well.

[bright flame]

so whats the best psyker sword for horde killing

[raw token]

illisi

[plucky flax]

Time to try surge staff + smite.

[jaunty rapids]

Yo my friend just got to level 30 and I have no idea what to suggest he use weapon and curio wise, anyone got any suggestions?

[fresh crater]

surge or void strike

for weapon

[gilded ember]

so whats the "best" melee weapon for psyker rn

[fresh crater]

deuling sword or illisi

[tired estuary]

illisi in general, diemos still good for elite kill, mk4 duelling sword for crit build I think

[gilded ember]

oh ok, so i don't have to switch smth

[fresh crater]

yeah what sarah said sorry just woke up

[tired estuary]

if they wanna run gunker then probs go crit and use revolver or vraks mk3

[gilded ember]

is it just me or does the burn dot vanish after like 2 seconds

[fresh crater]

you talking about soul fire?

[gilded ember]

yup

no wait

[fresh crater]

its burn time is based on stacks applied

[gilded ember]

creeping flames

[fresh crater]

ah that i dont know about

[gilded ember]

switched to warp rupture for now

[whole oxide]

the burning is based on your peril, if you use it at 0 peril, yeah, it won't do much, but if you use it at 80+ peril it will kill anything non-elite

[summer prairie]

creeping flames is twice as good, you just need to be at 83+% peril to get most out of it

[gilded ember]

and combining it with wildfire is good, yes?

[summer prairie]

No

[unique mist]

depends if you are using purgatus staff or not

[gilded ember]

oh i didn't think of that

playing void rn

[unique mist]

also RE creeping flames: the visual effect of the flames die down after a short time, but they're still there

[spice veldt]

the mk4 duelling sword is generally better than the deimos now since its heavies got buffed quite well

[unique mist]

would you say unstable power makes deimos competitive

i quite like unstable power + scriers gaze

[spice veldt]

unstable power does get you a deterministic mutant one-shot

[unique mist]

also RE soulblaze: it lasts for 8.25 seconds at its currently applied stack before decaying stack by stack every 0.75 seconds (which is its tick interval)

[spice veldt]

but in terms of fitting roles, the MK4 is better since it's more specialized into single-target

[charred shuttle]

Is disrupt destiny completely useless right now due to the unreliable stacking or anyone knows of some viable way to run it?

[spice veldt]

i only run it in lights out missions

[plucky flax]

Surge + smite is so op.

Best support psyker.

Too bad illisi got nerfed.

[gilded ember]

sorry for this but i want to know if this a stupid build or not

[unique mist]

just post the overall tree instead of the breakdown, we're more familiar with that

[gilded ember]

fair

[charred shuttle]

@gilded ember I recommend smaller tree mod from nexus

[gilded ember]

lol thats a thing?

[spice veldt]

take these two nodes

[plucky flax]

For empowered blitz use the one on the right.

[gilded ember]

been playing vanilla dt since launch

[plucky flax]

Guaranteed empowered blitz on elite kill.

[spice veldt]

Soulstealer is one of the best toughness generation nodes in the game

and Perilous Combustion is easily one of the best nodes in Psyker's skill tree

[tired estuary]

Yeah I just swapped to it for crit build today

[plucky flax]

Tru dat.

[charred shuttle]

It just makes it a bit more convenient to read and modify

[plucky flax]

I don't know how anyone can play without those 2 nodes.

It's free toughness and free damage.

[spice veldt]

ikr

[gilded ember]

ok so this is the build again

[spice veldt]

and it's right at the start and on the same route lamayo

[plucky flax]

People are like hurr durr I used to use quietitude before.

But bruh you can still run queititude.

This is just extra on top and it's so op.

[spice veldt]

fatshark was high on crack when they made and positioned those two nodes

i actually can not believe that they didn't nerf warp absorption

[whole oxide]

the benefits of newbie's thinking psyker sucks for the last year

[spice veldt]

i disagree with Mind in Motion, but if you prefer it, then it is what it is

[plucky flax]

Fun fact I run both soulstealer, quietitude and combustion on every build.

[charred shuttle]

Does passively dissipating peril count for that?

[spice veldt]

tbf psyker did have some clear weaknesses back then

[plucky flax]

It does.

[spice veldt]

no particular burst without running a gun

[whole oxide]

way back at launch, sure, not pre-patch

[spice veldt]

o

[charred shuttle]

Cool

[plucky flax]

So combination of soulstealer and quietitude is incredibly op for toughness regen.

[spice veldt]

god bless america

should prob nerf soulstealer to +5% toughness per warp kill at the very least

[cyan notch]

USA! USA! USA!

[unique mist]

Only for assail

[plucky flax]

My meme smite build.

[spice veldt]

soulblaze also counts as a warp attack, btw

[raw token]

what difficulty do you think is the easiest to get no player deaths on?

[unique mist]

the...lowest difficulty?

oh factoring in random teammates

[raw token]

filled with level 2s who cant play

[obtuse moth]

btw i think bot deaths can also mess up your contracts, at least it did when i last ran that contract. no idea if they fixed it

[spice veldt]

what ranged weapon and melee are you running with this build to get use out of Mettle and Perfect Timing?

[gilded ember]

void and illisi or what ever its called

[unique mist]

so if you apply 6 stacks of soulblaze, that's 8.25 seconds + 0.75*5=12 seconds of soulblaze. at 31 stacks of soulblaze (max) you can have up to 30.75 seconds of soulblaze

[spice veldt]

makes sense

[obtuse moth]

huh? does soulblaze stack in duration? i thought it stacked in intensity

[spice veldt]

o you're not level 30 yet it seems

[gilded ember]

switched to those 3

and no mind in motion

[unique mist]

it has initial 8.25s duration at max stacks and then decays one stack at a time, losing a stack every 0.75s

as it decays it does less and less damage

[spice veldt]

explains why it didn't seem like your tree didn't have enough leeway

[obtuse moth]

ah, thanks muchly for the breakdown

[spice veldt]

no wait i'm blind

I forgot to count the keystone nodes

i forgot keystones existed

[gilded ember]

if i go for this, do i have to play with purgatus?

[vestal fulcrum]

No, why?

Trauma works just as well

[spice veldt]

there's Psychic Vampire on the other path

[unique mist]

you dont have to, but if you're doing a soulblaze build...you might as well lol

[summer prairie]

warp siphon is good with any shriek build

[gilded ember]

well i'm just trying to get abit of everything honestly. Burn dot, stun

[spice veldt]

hmm it's interesting that communion and ascendant blaze are competing choices now

[obtuse moth]

warp siphon is good on basically any build tbh

[gilded ember]

i'm just confused on how to build it

[summer prairie]

I probably wouldn't take the last node though if you take it for venting shriek spam

[gilded ember]

ye nah i think i'll stick to empowered psyionics for now

[gilded ember]

forgot to send this

[plucky flax]

I prefer communion even when using blaze trauma.

[obtuse moth]

build for peril resist for more damage or toughness on charge for survivability, get more damage from warp charges, then pick 4% chance unless you're running purge staff at the minimum, and 6 stacks for even more peril resist, damage and recharge

works for basically any build, since you can benefit even on melee or gunpsyker, and works for assail spam too if thats your thing. only question is having enough points

[ornate hamlet]

Is deflector needed with deimos?

[gilded ember]

i'd say its rly nice to have for any force sword

[plucky flax]

It's preference. I always run that because it works for me.

[ornate hamlet]

I havent been able to test how much block do wo deflector

Also deimos on top or the other one, ilissi or whatever?

[whole oxide]

depends what ranged you're using

[unique mist]

deimos has better single target but i think ilissi has more cleave/horde clear

[ornate hamlet]

I like the single target now i dont use head pop

[unique mist]

deimos' special locks you on to one target similar to chain sword while ilissi's just lets your next swipe do more damage

[obtuse moth]

deflector isnt needed with any force sword, you have infinite dodges. its probably least needed with deimos because it has a much higher dodge distance

[ornate hamlet]

Hordes u can clear with the asail imo

[ornate hamlet]

Nice

[unique mist]

i just like ilissi better than deimos especially because i have my voidstrike staff for single target and if i'm switching to my sword i'm going into a horde fresh out of assail charges

[obtuse moth]

you dont ever need to use special with deimos, the light stab and heavies do just as much damage or more

deimos has less cleave though

[ornate hamlet]

Yo a fellow void lover! I have a decent voidy jus struggle in the heat of battle hitting the heads

[whole oxide]

purgatus or trauma -> deimos, void or surge -> illisi

[obtuse moth]

mostly depends on if you need the horde clear, and if you prefer empowered illisi attacks to deimos's heavy attacks

[plucky flax]

You guys missed out on the old illisi with 75% slaughterer power.

[obtuse moth]

if you roll from m1 to m2 with a slight overlap, you can infinitely chain light pokes or reset your chain to do constant light poke heavy poke combos on deimos

[ornate hamlet]

Idk man im also thinkin going back to pergatus to knock back hordes in the heat of it and usin asail to kill most

Knives def new meta

[obtuse moth]

if you want knockback trauma is even better at it than purge :D

[ornate hamlet]

Jus caught a 376 truama wit decent stats, never run it tho

[plucky flax]

Fun fact blaze trauma is super op but people are memeing with assail and void.

Fs pls no nerf my trauma.

[ornate hamlet]

Is anyone familiar with the policy on turbo buttons? Like Macros? For instance, holding down a key to simulate repressing of the left mouse button...?

[autumn smelt]

Always has been

It just requires people to use trauma tho

And people HATE using trauma

[plush jacinth]

whats the main difference between the force swords? been using only the deimos one.

[plucky flax]

Yeah people can't do trigonometry.

[spice veldt]

don't worry i'm meming with assail and blaze trauma

[plucky flax]

Not me I'm pro.

[plucky flax]

That's illegal.

[obtuse moth]

haven't liked soulblaze trauma as much since this patch tbh

[autumn smelt]

Deimos is single target
Illisi is cleave
Obscurus doesn't exist

[spice veldt]

deterministic crits feel really good to me

the cycle of fishing for True Aim with melee and then using blazing spirit feels neat to me

[plucky flax]

It's a lot stronger than pre patch. Give it a try.

[ornate hamlet]

Sir, I will have you know that Obscurus is for flexing.

[thin finch]

Hello I am people

[obtuse moth]

i did give it a try, what makes it stronger?

[lethal folio]

free crit on tree

[chrome patrol]

malice? i barely ever have someone dying there lol

[plucky flax]

Everything mah dood. Big juicy blast radius and damage. More soulblaze galore. Free quell speed and warp reduction.

[ornate hamlet]

Surge or void? Wachu think?

[ornate hamlet]

Being able to have 6 warp siphon charges AND soulblaze spread

[thin finch]

Surge is bad now 😦

[ornate hamlet]

Singld hit harder tho

[still hearth]

What the fuck did you just say

[ornate hamlet]

Knives do the hordes

[plucky flax]

It's harder to play because you gotta flick your wrist but it's so much stronger than purga.

Also surge is op.

[still hearth]

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY

[ornate hamlet]

I like surge

[still hearth]

[thin finch]

Me no likey the short bzzt

[plucky flax]

Where's your warp flurry warp nexus

Smh smh

[thin finch]

Probaby gonna give it a try asmt some point

[ornate hamlet]

I never use it

So, does anyone know the policy on turbo/macro buttons for darktide?

[tired estuary]

yeah it sure is a shame it actually kills things instead of after half a minute of electrocution

[round jay]

Did they forgot to add a description with the empowered smite or is it bug?

[still hearth]

I'll make sure my dad nerfs it

[still hearth]

It's bugged

[round jay]

Sadge

[still hearth]

No because using it that way is bad

So stop doing it

I hope they reduce a bit it’s peril build up when fixing it

Focussed channelling is def missed when i dnt hav it

Literally using it in the opposite order

Surge is for easy missions

[ornate hamlet]

Bleh

[plucky flax]

It's too hard idk how to play gaze.

[ornate hamlet]

400hrs to get a decent staff to drop no doubt

It's okay, sibling.

You can do it

[ornate hamlet]

You can

Believe in the God Emperor

ill cut you so bad youll wish i didnt cut you so bad

I feel like i gotta run a knoif jus to keep up wit the zelots

is there a way ro tell whos a console player

[thin finch]

Do they die often ?

[chrome patrol]

at the end of the game you see under peoples names either steam or a globe icon

or in the game in socials i think

the same way

not trying to hate on xbox player but im playing bingo and try to guess whos a console player

and see at the end

[dim parrot]

I see no hate :o

[chrome patrol]

just said to clarify since theres alot bad blood rn

especially on reddit lol

[halcyon creek]

Don’t listen to Reddit, it collects all the bad takes like the cutting-room floor of a movie editing studio

[thin finch]

Man missed my shitty joke

[dim parrot]

yee mostly looked at the other subreddit not the main 1

[round jay]

No hate needed, it’s a fact that some game are harder when using a controller

Specially when you need precision to hit that sniper at the other end of the room

[dim parrot]

my assail does that 4 me lol

[ornate hamlet]

Redeemed?

[summer prairie]

change carapace to crit and it's perfect

[vestal fulcrum]

FYI, Terrifying Barrage only seemingly works on primary fire, so it doesn’t do a whole lot

But you can change that, so make of that what you wish

[summer prairie]

barrage to whatever, but it doesn't matter

[ornate hamlet]

oh

[summer prairie]

barrage works with secondary but only on non-soulblaze component of it

[ornate hamlet]

what am i lookin for then on pergy?

[vestal fulcrum]

Given than you don’t really kill things with the stream - yeah.

[ornate hamlet]

dmt use it much

[vestal fulcrum]

I.e., what to change the Barrage to?

[ornate hamlet]

shess

[vestal fulcrum]

Vague of an answer that is, but Warp flurry is a good blessing

[ornate hamlet]

oh geez this only flurry i have is 3

[vestal fulcrum]

A flurry is a flurry

Don’t worry about it all too well, especially since Patch 13 decreased the gap between power of different levels of certain blessings

[thin finch]

Plus I spend a year being and seing shit while using M&K so there is that

[ornate hamlet]

so i need to farm blessings ig

[sleek marsh]

what staff is everyone using now

trauma?

[vestal fulcrum]

Voidstrike is the dominating staff currently, but it’s not like other staves are weak

Voidstrike was just buffed through the roof and has insane synergy with certain feats

[sleek marsh]

ty

[raw token]

people are still dying in malice...

i still have 5 games of this

[vale terrace]

What curios does psyker want?

[sleek marsh]

I split

one of each with toughness HP and CDR on every one

A little toughness seems mandatory almost to get above 100

I used to swear by resistances but now I stack HP or toughness

I get 3 stam on the psyker just because deflector blessing and kinetic the talent

makes blocking real good

[vale terrace]

So mainstat tough, hp and wound with the other shit on them?

[sleek marsh]

no wound

I go HP-Tough-3stam
each one being HP/

Tough and CDR

with the toughness and HP I don't often drop

compared to taking a wound and droipping often

If my math is right, the 20% block eff is better on the weapon

for that build

I block tank DH's with it

it's pretty fun

[dim parrot]

so does it make sence to have block efficiency and deflector?

[sleek marsh]

I was running a +9 stam build and just ogryn tanking gunner walls

but taking a hit was too riskyt

with 90 toughness

[dim parrot]

I block often ye

[sleek marsh]

then yeah

take 20% block eff

[vale terrace]

Was gonna try revolver gunker, what do i want on illsi?

just cooked this thing, no idea if it's shit or not

[raw token]

preferrably warp resistance is the dump stat

[vale terrace]

aight

[obtuse moth]

you may think about putting toughness on the perk, 3 toughness perks = 1 toughness curio

300k overkill damage out of 500k total damage, can you guess what staff I was playing ? XD (hint: I was shoting it at hordes)

[empty crest]

If you pop from to much peril, does it cause any AOE damage to friendlies or enemies?

[gritty tapir]

Is there a reason to take off blessings lower than IV?

[vale terrace]

What's the difference between right click and left click assail?

[languid tusk]

if you cant find IV you can take III

[languid tusk]

it does damage to enemies

[spice veldt]

it guarantees a lock-on onto an enemy that your cursor is over up to 50m
no differences in damage or anything else

[obtuse moth]

really depends on the blessing and what you're using it for

[spark fractal]

i think the right click might cost more perils? i didn't actually pay attention to that, might just be because i had to hold the right click so it wasn't naturally quelling between casts

[vale terrace]

It does, didnt know if it did anything else

[spice veldt]

oh right the peril cost

[obtuse moth]

right click travels faster doesn't it

[spark fractal]

no it just doesn't wander like left click so it feels that way

[spice veldt]

i'm not sure if it travels faster, but it does go into a straight line

[obtuse moth]

i felt like it also bounced faster in the elevator

[spice veldt]

or well, as straight as it can try to go

[obtuse moth]

if it doesn't wander it still could make it reach farther

[spark fractal]

basically left click if you need as many to come out as possible, and at short range, right click if you want to use it to counter snipe

it also seems to hit reliably once you lock on, even if the target goes behind a wall or something it'll curve to get them

[limber marsh]

Is brain burst bugged? Whenever I load it and want to fire the loadup timer resets a bit and I have to wait again...

[obtuse moth]

i heard the right click to left click transition is buggy if you're doing that

iirc the trick was clicking left click as late as possible

[limber marsh]

Makes sense, damn

[spark fractal]

i use the brain burst right click super infrequently, it's just too costly in perils

[orchid dirge]

there is any difference between rclick and lclick?

[limber marsh]

you just load the ability but dont auto fire on right click, but using it is bad because it's not working correctly with reduced loadup time

[orchid dirge]

bb is kinda a joke rn anyways

[limber marsh]

I like smite more, cc is just too useful for me

[devout halo]

.

[obtuse moth]

you can precharge it but it costs more peril

[orchid dirge]

it could be decent if you could precharge with normal movement speed

[obtuse moth]

you can slide charge it fwiw

[silent bay]

is there a way to get the dmg numbers to show up during matches?

[orchid dirge]

mods

[silent bay]

dang so not in base game

didnt even know there were mods for this

[thin finch]

Right click lock onto a target no matter where you throw and have more chance on hitting the brain

[silent bay]

any good ones?

[orchid dirge]

yea you can even change the hud n shit

[silent bay]

the doom ost mod for DRG is one of my faves

nothin like killing hordes to bfg division lol

[round jay]

Perhaps as someone said earlier controller psyker using assail is the way to go

[obtuse moth]

tons of good ones, prolly just recommend looking at the highest rated or most downloaded on nexusmods

id recommend using the vortex extension to manage your mods, makes it way easier to keep them updated

[silent bay]

will do ty

[obtuse moth]

https://github.com/Darktide-Mod-Framework/Darktide-Vortex-Extension

it can also run the toggle_mods for you from vortex which is handy

[round jay]

Mods are such nice QoL change that probably should be implemented in the game

Most of them at least

[thin finch]

I love the number HUD

[obtuse moth]

set up mod loader first,then install vortex extension and install all mods from .zip/.rar./.7z files with drag and drop including darktide mod framework

[silent bay]

is the mod loader on nexus?

i just added the extension to vorted

[gritty tapir]

Are the blessings limited use?

[cinder moon]

go full pirate and use dueling sword instead

just dodge instead of relying on deflector

[vale terrace]

is dueling a good horde clear 🤔

[raw token]

n

[cinder moon]

can be if you have the right build

my dueling sword/revolver gunker uses full soulblaze/warpcharge build

[raw token]

not really but mkiv is the best for it out of the three

[cinder moon]

pair with venting shriek for some CC and applying soulblaze

you also get VS back very quickly

[orchid dirge]

one question how tf do i get the kill a boss with only brainburst if now it can only be done in private but u cant go solo in private

[cinder moon]

get 3 friends preferably

[orchid dirge]

talking about this penance

[raw token]

have friends

[orchid dirge]

yea i dont wanna drag my friends for a skin

[cinder moon]

i tried doing that penance with one other player and 2 bots, and the bots cucked me by doing like 11% damage to a daemonhost

also the director was furious with us that match and kept sending shit on normal heresy

[orchid dirge]

they need to change this penance dude, the drip you get is unreal but is it worth it?

[raw token]

you can just let bots die right at the beginning and then never pick them up

[raw token]

yes

[cinder moon]

was impossible with how much the director was trying to fuck us

[sleek marsh]

yes

[unique mist]

Share please

[cinder moon]

i'm not kidding, it was hi int shock troop gauntlet levels of special spam, on normal heresy

@manic halo can attest

[silent bay]

im pretty sure i added the extension right, and have the framework/mod loader installed as well, but none of the mods i see have a download with vortex button

[obtuse moth]

they dont since its an unofficial extension, but once installed you can update from inside vortex

it'll open up the nexusmods download link and then send the d/l through vortex

and you can check for updates that way too and disable/enable and reorder

[silent bay]

how do i get vortex to do that?

when i install a mod to the /mods folder it doesnt show up in vortex

[tranquil pier]

does psyker have any decent options for single target damage against bosses / plague ogrins and that kind of stuff? Charging lightning staff shots for 600 damage doesn't seem that effective

[unique mist]

Yes

[kind jay]

voidstrike, chainsword

[unique mist]

Voidstrike staff and mk4 duelling sword

[kind jay]

mk4

[unique mist]

how good is the chainsword

[kind jay]

very

[unique mist]

Duelling sword is so nice to just 1tap charging mutants

[cinder moon]

was glad i decided to build a mk4 before the patch

[obtuse moth]

dont add mods to the mod folder, drag and drop the .zips into vortex

the bottom section where it says drop files

[silent bay]

ahh i see, the zip or the folder after its extracted?

[obtuse moth]

the zip

[silent bay]

i see

[tranquil pier]

what's the deal with dueling sword? I've mostly played with force swords and being able to charge them for the big 2000 damage heavy attack seems really strong

[raw token]

unfortunately to guaruntee it without a crit you need 80 on all 3 damage stats plus 25% maniac damage plus 10% weakspot and only then can you oneshot without crit

[silent bay]

tyvm

[cinder moon]

just use warp charges

mkiv with 6WC is super strong lol

[obtuse moth]

high peril can give you +20% damage too if you take the talent. i always take it

[manic halo]

YEP

[raw token]

yeah true i shoulda said talking no buffs

[manic halo]

it was fucke dup

[cinder moon]

i've never seen heresy runs so stacked lmao

like i regularly play damnation and those are comparitive snooze fests

[plush jacinth]

god emperor wants me to be a gunpsyker

[tranquil pier]

to clarify what I mean by this is how do you use a dueling sword? Do you spam light attacks or go for charged ones? What makes it strong?

[plush jacinth]

thats a gift one

[cinder moon]

for the mkiv, charged attack for killing whatever you're looking at

light spam for hordes

if you just want one for hordeclear, then i think the mkv is the better choice

but mkiv can do hordeclear as long as you have soulblaze

[whole oxide]

It has very low cleave, but very high weakspot and crit modifiers, so if you're critting on weakspots you can do huge single-target damage

[whole oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/what-huh-wat-wut-gif-13031409

[cinder moon]

[whole oxide]

what's soulblaze got to do with DS?

[cinder moon]

mkiv's attack pattern doesn't really lend itself to hordeclear, but soulblaze softens them up and lets you move through the chaff faster

unless you want to heavy attack every single target

[whole oxide]

mk IV has the best pattern on DS's for hordeclear, which isn't saying much, but you can't really cite using a different weapon to say that makes it good

its, like, Helbore lasgun is really good for hordeclear....... if you pair it with a powersword

[cinder moon]

what?

[whole oxide]

which bit of that was unclear?

[cinder moon]

soulblaze isn't a weapon

[whole oxide]

so how are you applying it with your DS?

[ornate hamlet]

it is now

[cinder moon]

venting shriek

[whole oxide]

okay, so, venting shriek is the weapon

saying DS is good at hordeclear because of venting shriek.... don't make sense

[unique mist]

venting shriek or the soulblaze on elite/special kill

[cinder moon]

i didn't say it was good at hordeclear you walnut

i said it could do it

[whole oxide]

its still irrelevant to assessing the DS capability

[unique mist]

Hey I mean soulblaze literally exists to give brain burst some hordeclear so

[whole oxide]

which is why I used the helbore/PS analogy

[unique mist]

DS main purpose is single target damage. If you want to try and hordeclear with it, you better be using soulblaze or it won't do a good job

You're arguing for the sake of arguing

[whole oxide]

which is exactly my point ^^

[cinder moon]

i literally said that earlier

but you wanted to argue

[unique mist]

Its his point too

so it seems like you are both arguing the same point lol

now kiss and make up

[whole oxide]

look, lets roll this back, someone asked "how do I use DS", and you came back with "use soulblaze"....... it's like, "how do I use DS"....... "use Assail"

[cinder moon]

not at all

since assail doesn't help the DS in any way

and soulblaze does

soulblaze helps literally any weapon you are using

anyway, mkv attack pattern has some sweep attacks that are better for hordeclear than anything in the mkiv's repertoire

[whole oxide]

no, its still target-capped

[cinder moon]

at 1?

[whole oxide]

at 2

[cinder moon]

2 is better than 1

[whole oxide]

and the IV hits 2 as well

[cinder moon]

with thrust attacks

[whole oxide]

for chewing through hordes, you wouldn't be using the thrust

[cinder moon]

that's the point

[whole oxide]

mkIV light-spam is better than anything mkV has for hordes

[unique mist]

Me staring in sadness as I roll rampage on my duelling sword

[whole oxide]

fortunately push-attacks are 6

[unique mist]

It could have been perfect

[whole oxide]

it still can be

I use rampage and uncanny

[unique mist]

what is the secret, do I need to learn how to push

because i never push

[kind jay]

push attack

[whole oxide]

with rampage active you can 1-shot poxwalkers with light attacks, which given how fast the IV hits, isn't bad for horde clear

[unique mist]

it can't already do that?

[whole oxide]

not with lights, no

[unique mist]

Or are you talking about on, like, damnation

[lyric burrow]

Damnation

[cinder moon]

behold, my stuff

[plucky flax]

No I only play sedition.

[lyric burrow]

Generally when people talk about breakpoints it will be on Damnation

[plucky flax]

That's not tru but okie.

Sedition breakpoint pls.

[lyric burrow]

Idk if ive ever seen people talk about heresy and below breakpoints here lol

[plucky flax]

I'm not that good.

[cinder moon]

it's worth shooting for damnation BPs because then you can just walk over everything in lower diffs

[lyric burrow]

Maybe i missed it

[kind jay]

here are your sedition breakpoints:

1. equip thing
2. hit stuff

[cinder moon]

pretty much

[unique mist]

no

[plucky flax]

That's op mane.

[unique mist]

staff strike sedition only run

[lyric burrow]

Is there anything to even hit in sedetion

I dont remember anything happening in those matches

[unique mist]

lmao imagine its just the objective

[cinder moon]

i wanna do HISTG sedition

[plucky flax]

That'll be too hard I only play low intensity sedition.

[unique mist]

Varlets! This place was cleaned out by a prior squad, as such your only purpose is to complete your assigned mission. You may as well leave the guns at home.

[kind jay]

petition fatshark for auric sedition

[lyric burrow]

You haven't lived until you've done waves of mutants hounds and bursters on uprising

[stoic isle]

could anyone explain why light strikedown attack does more damage than heavy strikedown attack? (pics are as in order)

[unique mist]

Why not pick up warp rider for more damage in scriers gaze and the extra dodge duration perk (which should synergise with the perk to the left of it and help your dodges)

Idk I don't block much

idk how or when to block or push

All I know is kill

[lyric burrow]

You mostly push to make space or maybe stagger a threat quickly

Blocking i just use when i need to move and theres guys on top of me

[cyan notch]

different attack profiles on each attack

heavy has more cleave

[lyric burrow]

And against ragers etc

If i cant just stagger the combo

[stoic isle]

had a hunch it might be, so basically stab does more dmg to one person than a swing would

[spice veldt]

is that obscurus's l3?

force sword light stabs deal 2x damage

[lyric burrow]

Damn youve got the numbers memorized like that

Thats impressive lol

[spice veldt]

if only my memory could be better used elsewhere

[lyric burrow]

I can recognize a lot of things quickly idk if i have exact damage numbers in my head for anything what hits what breakpoints and how

Yeah i cant remember a math formula to save my life

[spice veldt]

at least for the weapons that I use, I have damage numbers on in missions to notice

[atomic zephyr]

Is riposte good on a deimos now?

[spice veldt]

I also like to dick around in the psykhanium

[lyric burrow]

Ah ok

[granite dune]

Whats the best build do you guys think?

[lyric burrow]

That makes sense

[spice veldt]

go out

[lyric burrow]

Checks out after your chaos spawn fact

[stoic isle]

okay is that just an obscurus thing or is it a property on all force swords

[lyric burrow]

As does this

[spice veldt]

go out

[spice veldt]

deimos also has a light stabs with this same thingy

[stoic isle]

ok weird i just got thrown off because both attacks are labled as strikedown

[spice veldt]

the deimos also has a heavy stab, though that one has 2.5x base damage

yeah those descriptors are broad and non-technical

and as you have seen, they can be straight up wrong/unintuitive

[cyan notch]

yea those strikedown/relentless/vanguard are more of vague descriptors than anything actually related to its attack profile

[spice veldt]

i usually just ignore them

[stoic isle]

aight thanks for clearing that up

[cyan notch]

its basically just ez reference for casuals who dont want to look too in depth

[plucky flax]

Hi it's me I'm casual.

Vanguard best attack mode.

[stoic isle]

big swing go brrr

[atomic zephyr]

Just going to reask again. Anyone have any insight on deimos and riposte blessing?

[lyric burrow]

Your sleeping on assassin

Uh it might be ok its good on dueling sword mk4

Havent tested it tbh

In theory it should be fine

[plucky flax]

Assassin 1 target vs thicc horde

[lyric burrow]

Hey deimos didn't care pre patch

I forget if deimos is assassin tho

[plucky flax]

RIP 75% power slaughterer.

[lyric burrow]

Probably a needed loss lol

[steep lily]

Is there gonna be a patch today?

[atomic zephyr]

I rolled a t4 on my deimos and with the new dodge timer for 6 secs, im wondering if its a decent choice to run it. Normally i would just have uncanny/slaughter, but if i can use the crit on it…. Maybe worthwhile?

[lyric burrow]

It could be although id need to see if it does anything for breakpoints since deimos has no issue reaching 1 shots on most things anyway

[plucky flax]

Uncanny is better synergy with the special attack.

Against crusher for example.

[atomic zephyr]

With 6 secs, and possibly add the talent for dodge counter, could keep the crit chance up time, dodge a a crusher/mutant, charge, and just hope the crit hits.

Ill test it when i can

[lyric burrow]

Yeah with all the crit stuff this patch might not be awful to take

But uncanny would be very good actually

Good synergy with purg too since you run that p often with deimos

[plush jacinth]

whats the gunpsyker builds lookin like rn? seems like the right side of the tree is about it

[raw token]

worth getting for gunker? was aiming for vraks 3 but this just showed up

[cinder moon]

ammo economy isn't there for the 6d on psyker

[silent coral]

what perk combo do you suggest for chainsword ?

[whole oxide]

ehhhh, neither the perk or blessing are great, and 60 in collateral, can do better

VId is workable on psyker, but yeah, ammo is an issue, so you have to treat it as seconday to melee

[raw token]

also ive just seen it doesnt have deadly accurate so im definitely not using it

[cinder moon]

i've been trying out laspistol for gunker recently, but i can't decide on the free blessing

[empty crest]

Good to know >:)…I will go out in a blaze of glory

[cinder moon]

there's a penance for killing X amount of specials with a perils of the warp explosion

think it's 4?

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s one

[raw token]

its 1 elite

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s been nerfed from 3 to 1

[cinder moon]

ah

[vestal fulcrum]

To make it less ridiculous

[cinder moon]

i've used perils of the warp to clear out some hordes before, too

i have one build that's all wound curios for that kinda nonsense

[signal galleon]

anyone want to do a heresy priate? just want to get my penance done

[spice owl]

I just got a really nicely rolled vraks and I'm not sure what perks i need to hit the new breakpoints. Has anyone figured that out yet??

[whole oxide]

with how many conditional damage/crit mods there are in talents now, it's a bit harder to calculate a set-in-stone breakpoint

[obtuse moth]

1 is just as ridiculous, its an easy accidental penance

[foggy goblet]

What're the differences in the force swords? 👀

[plush jacinth]

gunpsyker build. thoughts? improvements? ty space wizards.

[plush jacinth]

Deimos- single target
Illisi- crowds
other one kinda irrelevant.
source: heard it from other psykers.
i use Deimos a lot though. great for single targets for sure

[foggy goblet]

Oh, nice! Thank you!
This helps a bunch. I was using a deimos/void and felt it lacking for certain horde situations. Still figuring out how to use void effectively 😅

P.S. - what makes the third irrelevant?

[blissful ore]

Between the eyes is nice

If you want to replace ghost

[plush jacinth]

oh thats just what ive heard (the 'source' i mentioned) you can give it a try. i havent gotten to using it yet

[lyric burrow]

Illisi also has very good single target as well so itll round out pretty much any build

Obscurus is just the worst of both worlds but not outright bad

Although increased health probably not doing it favors

[plush jacinth]

they are still force swords so theyll likely do the job

[austere estuary]

the double edged sword of playing voidstrike is it's so powerful you can actually carry teams at times you normally wouldn't, but then if you mess up at all things immediately go south

[sour bison]

voidstrike is totaly balanced

[ornate hamlet]

clockin out for the night boys, the long haul was worth it

[sour bison]

its bad

[sinful mortar]

Is it a hot take to largely prefer the trauma over the voidstrike?

It steal deals lots of damage, but the mass stagger it has on even bulwark and crushes just seems invaluable on the higher difficulties

[vestal fulcrum]

No, at least you are allowing other players in lobby to have fun

[digital narwhal]

Man, I hate DDs targeting system

[gleaming hornet]

I'm sad that Voidstrike is meta now, I used to feel special for being the only Psyker to consistently run it over the spicy or tickle staff

[sinful mortar]

I still run assail, and as this one video essay just put it, Assail is not nearly as good on Heresy and Damnation, it requires teamwork and communication to work there, as it should

[digital narwhal]

Not really

[gleaming hornet]

On the other hand, I'm happy that people finally realize that VS is a baller staff with the most satisfying projectile

[digital narwhal]

The funny blue lawn darts just delete groups of Elites for free

No thought needed

[sinful mortar]

The guy proposed a solution by adding a multi lock to balance, idk hiw that would feel tho

[vestal fulcrum]

I don’t think it does require that, it still is obscenely powerful even for players that aren’t extremely good with it. Also, what’s the “video essay” in question

[sinful mortar]

https://youtu.be/TfOYYIZLTL0?si=YX7GOOcpGwsqIjRP

[digital narwhal]

Aha

Mister Mugsy

[vestal fulcrum]

Who’s that?

[digital narwhal]

I don’t know

[vestal fulcrum]

Doesn’t ring a bell

[gleaming hornet]

No wide open mouth on the thumbnail, can't be reliable

[vestal fulcrum]

[digital narwhal]

But I don’t like him

Just one of those things

[orchid dirge]

no comment

[lyric burrow]

This is the real test of how reliable info is

[digital narwhal]

Disrupt Destiny should either be able to target multiple enemies at once, or just target ALL Elites for you like Vet’s Bi-Optic

[lyric burrow]

Been meaning to try that

Kinda forgot about it

[cedar nest]

oof

[queen fog]

Double ballin tho

[gleaming hornet]

I don't get disrupt destiny. I don't think I've ever gotten more than ~15-ish stacks, and you can supposedly get up to 30. No clue how to play around that. The highlighting happens almost too rarely, or maybe the range is too short, I don't know. Probably a skill issue

[gusty furnace]

This is the voidstrike I use predominantly

[digital narwhal]

You get 30 with one of the nodes

[gusty furnace]

funny with Scrier's Gaze

[digital narwhal]

Puri, what’s your opinion on DD?

[queen fog]

Nice job getting warp flurry 4

[gusty furnace]

What is DD

[digital narwhal]

Disrupt Destiny

[queen fog]

The right side keystone

[gleaming hornet]

Yeah, I meant how to reach and/or maintain that number consistently enough to justify taking the node.

[gusty furnace]

It doesn't proc often enough to matter and has the old BB issue

teammates just killing the marked enemies before you can get to them

[gleaming hornet]

Like, getting 10 stacks is almost an achievement, 15 is an exceptional run, 30 feels beyond the moon during average gameplay

[languid tusk]

why flak ? carapace would get you oneshot breakpoint on crusher headshot

and unyielding would make it good for monstrosities

[digital narwhal]

I see.
Yeah, it really does have that issue.
I use it with my Revolver simply to get 1 shot breakpoints for Ragers and Dreg Gunners, as well as 3 shot breakpoints for Crushers, but-

it’s not great

[gusty furnace]

And since its random, you can't guarantee stacks because that trapper/flamer/dog/mutant/crusher/whatever is more important than a random poxwalker 25 meters away

[cedar nest]

oh damn love the transfer peril 😮 altho i like the dps my staff has now once my peril is high enough 😄

[digital narwhal]

Disrupt Destiny shouldn’t random.
Instead, it should just mark all Elites within 25 metres of you.

[gusty furnace]

This is just for scrier's gaze memes

[digital narwhal]

Like Vet’s Volley Fire

[gusty furnace]

33% ish critical hit chance?

[digital narwhal]

That way you don’t have to fight to kill your target

[languid tusk]

volley fire is just bad with the new elite health pools + no autoreload

[gleaming hornet]

DD would probs be less of a pain if it triggered on enemy death regardless of who got the last hit

[languid tusk]

you dont get 1shot breakpoint with it, you get 2shot breapoint even without it

[digital narwhal]

If DD marked all the Elites within 25 metres of you, it’d be better

Both as an info tool, and for consistency of keeping stacks

[gusty furnace]

Honestly, it should have a keystone modifier that marks targets globally, and any teammate in cohesion that kills it grants you the stack.

[gleaming hornet]

Yeah, something like that to make it more consistent and less annoying

[languid tusk]

surprising they didn't think about that while testing the talent prior to release

they had the same issue with old bb

[gusty furnace]

Bro, Fatshark gave us Brain Burst

[gleaming hornet]

I've really tried liking it, but it feels so unreliable

[digital narwhal]

Stacks should fall off 5 at a time, too.
Not all at once.

[gusty furnace]

they're notoriously bad at designing skills.

Its like, a hallmark of their whole team.

[languid tusk]

yeah but they made the same mistake twice, and from what I understand they had players testing this stuff before they released it

[gusty furnace]

Now, credit where credit is due.

They've done an interesting job so far.

Its breathed new life into Darktide for sure.

But. . . there's a lot of boneheaded problems for something "that's been in development since before Darktide released"

[gleaming hornet]

It finally feels like a complete game

[gusty furnace]

This is what kills disrupt destiny though.

At least for me.

[still hearth]

It's not a chance

[gusty furnace]

That shit should not be a chance. Every single second a target should get marked.

[still hearth]

It's 100%

They're lying

[gusty furnace]

Uh

Definitely not in my experience

[still hearth]

The "chance" is that its RNG which target it goes on

[digital narwhal]

Is it a 100% chance to Quell 15% Peril?

[gusty furnace]

I've gone whole missions and only seen four or five marked targets by Disrupt Destiny

[still hearth]

It's also bugged though

[digital narwhal]

Oh you mean the marks-

[gusty furnace]

Its definitely a chance based skill.

[still hearth]

So sometimes the glow doesn't show

[digital narwhal]

Thought you meant the 20% chance to quell 15% Peril

[raw token]

its not

[gusty furnace]

Oh, if its bugged so badly it doesn't even correctly mark targets, thats even worse

[still hearth]

I ran a full mission and it was marking the correct things constantly

It just

Often marked shit

Behind walls

That I couldn't get to

[digital narwhal]

I really want the “20% chance to Quell 15% Peril” to just be guaranteed instead

Would go hard with Scrier’s

[still hearth]

I mean I don't want stuff to auto quell for me

[gusty furnace]

Too powerful with Scriers

[digital narwhal]

:(

[gusty furnace]

Voidstrike and Trauma staff would have to be obliterated

[digital narwhal]

At least make it 50% then

[gusty furnace]

like in the realm of ~300 damage

for it to be even somewhat balanced

[still hearth]

100% chance for 50% chance to quell between 1-10% peril

Works 20% of the time

[digital narwhal]

[still hearth]

Peak Psyker gameplay

[gusty furnace]

Warp Siphon is probably my biggest complaint with the Psyker Tree though.

[still hearth]

We need like a 1% chance to kill any enemy but a 1% chance to instantly explode

[gusty furnace]

I don't like that it makes you drop stacks on F

That should be a choice

in the modifier keystones below it

[still hearth]

Well tbf

[worthy sage]

What are the best damnation psyker builds at the moment?

[still hearth]

If they didn't do that

Everyone would just run 6 warp charges forever

So they'd have to nerf the damage boost

[still hearth]

Assail

[bleak tulip]

assail void

[gusty furnace]

Assail/Voidstrike

[still hearth]

Vraks 3 has insane boss DPS that you can crank up like crazy.

Trauma is good but I refuse to use it

[worthy sage]

Does anyone have a link to the build?

[gusty furnace]

whether you go warp flurry/transfer peril or Surge/Warp Nexus is up to you

[bleak tulip]

the whole point of warp charges being consumed now is that its the dedicated CDR keystone, if you want damage you got two other keystones

[gusty furnace]

The warp nexus staff is kinda funny with scrier's gaze

but managing peril is basically impossible

[still hearth]

But you can easily run with +24% damage permanently anyway

Just don't use the ult

[gusty furnace]

~56% chance to critical hit before the crithit perk on the staff

[bleak tulip]

yeah but thats the trade off, you lose your ult for damage

[still hearth]

Not for the Purgatus staff

[gusty furnace]

That's a fucking dogshit tradeoff

In every single situation

[bleak tulip]

or you use it and have to spend 5 seconds rebuilding

[still hearth]

LaughsInFire

[bleak tulip]

its not like getting charges is hard

[gusty furnace]

No, but its far less consistent than it was before.

BB some random trash

Though i used Kinetic Barrage

So I never had to worry about dropping stacks

[still hearth]

Maybe if your team kills everything before you

But at least in Auric there's so many elites and specials its insanely hard not to have max stacks

[bleak tulip]

everyone who cared did, and BBing trash was always bad tbh

[gusty furnace]

Considering how every single game is my teams ignoring hordes

I don't get the chance to kill elites/specials anymore

[still hearth]

Purgatus lifestyle

[gusty furnace]

The new horde spawn logic is. . .

Well, it punishes people who don't look backwards

[vale creek]

the purple voltage is just cc?

[still hearth]

I love enemies teleporting behind me

[gusty furnace]

By a pretty wide margin

I'm not sure I like it

Making hordes be 6 packs of ~40 enemies

[still hearth]

Overall I prefer this

But sometimes enemies are just

[gusty furnace]

and either splitting them in half front/back

[still hearth]

HOW DID THEY GET THERE??

They like

Run past 3 of my teammates

To hit me in the back

[gusty furnace]

or putting them full in one direction is just. . . the epitome of anti-fun

[vale creek]

spawning

[bleak tulip]

let me attempt to translate that: "surge is just cc?" yes

[gusty furnace]

especially with the speedrunners mindset the community has adopted in the last 10 months

[bleak tulip]

its functionally just CC on anything higher than malice

[gusty furnace]

GOTTA GO FORWARD FORWARD FORWARD

[still hearth]

Almost like the game is harder if you take it slow

[gusty furnace]

while 9 crushers, 200 poxwalkers, a trapper, flamer, and dog are all chasing them

[still hearth]

[bleak tulip]

bro just look behind you sometimes and you dont get slapped on the ass

[vale creek]

i see

[bleak tulip]

its not that hard

[gusty furnace]

Why push forward? So we can drag that into the next room thats also full of enemies?

[vale creek]

do 360 bluefire

i do that a lot its fun

[worthy sage]

Anyone have a link to assail/voidstrike build?

[bleak tulip]

#1158835513789272126

im sure youll find something

cant post mine, at work

assail, mid, right capstone works find for just about any content the game has right now

[gusty furnace]

Only with Surge.

Flak without surge gets you one-shot body shot on flak ragers

[still hearth]

Right capstone

[gusty furnace]

Also, I built it out before the patch

[bleak tulip]

mid capstone feels like a waste with assail and left capstone is kinda boring

[high silo]

Palpatine Build is superior

[spice oar]

fr

[lethal folio]

Psionics assail can do some ridiculous things.

[bleak tulip]

crit keystone works fine, just dont expect to have full charges because that shit is buggy

[gusty furnace]

Venting Shriek is amazing for maintaining DPS

it doesn't stop attacks

[bleak tulip]

yeah I use that

[still hearth]

When you guys say capstone

[bleak tulip]

mostly because I am shit and click too much

[still hearth]

That's not the ability right

[bleak tulip]

no

[still hearth]

Okay good

[bleak tulip]

keystone is what I meant

the last thing on the tree

[high silo]

[still hearth]

I had to swap off peril reduction on my purgatus build

[bleak tulip]

yeah its just that it doesnt feel necessary I guess?

only been messing with it yesterday

[still hearth]

Because I couldn't make use of the flame shout

It was too strong

[still hearth]

Dude you can play assail without anything else

[bleak tulip]

well yeah

[still hearth]

Obviously it doesn't feel necessary

[bleak tulip]

thanks captain obvious

[summer prairie]

you can also just take soulsteal with void and not spend any of your other points

[still hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/excuseme-princess-rude-snobby-sassy-gif-4929694

[bleak tulip]

in a way its very fun to have the most broken shit available at all times as a get out of jail free card

[formal hill]

@still hearth can you tell me about bleed knife

[still hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-knife-running-with-knives-gif-13862209

[formal hill]

I'm not sure if that's a yes or no

[still hearth]

I clearly told you

[formal hill]

That kids run with knives

Btw looks like a lot of fun

[supple bone]

It's a knife and it bleeds

[formal hill]

Up there with throwing batteries in the Ocean to recharge the fish

[sick grail]

[bleak tulip]

assail

[karmic copper]

So i havent played since late spring. I randomly had a friend who has prob 50hr total in darktide from last year that just started playing again. My ENTIRE 500hr is on psyker. I popes in yesterday and a fuckload of stuff changed. Good time to level a new toon completely blind? Or just figure out psyker again? Any opinions??????

[still hearth]

toon

Psyker is probably the strongest it will be

In a long long time

Unless they fuck up again

[karmic copper]

I used to be on here daily. Its nice to see @still hearth? Is this OG vanessa?

[still hearth]

Probably. I've been here for a long time.

[fathom acorn]

what should i change on this please?

[karmic copper]

Practically an old man then

[supple bone]

does this mean you're a toontown player

[karmic copper]

Wot? I leegit dont know what that means

[still hearth]

Toon for character is a very specific thing that most people don't say

And those who used to say it have been bullied into not doing it
