It's not as op as assail voidstrike but for me it's so incredibly fun.
Hi hi, is the empowered psionics bugged on smite?
Assail void is kinda unreal lol
just my take on the "old meta"
but it still feels good
no one is answering me in that chat tho i might repost here lol
Im also using a pre patch type build
Okay straight away I assume you are not running blaze trauma since you're not taking warp charges.
Assail+Void is damage meta for psyker right now
fun is the best stat
Ehh smite is just as good
Assail is a shit ton of fun
Is tru.
specifically for the assail player
and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself
correct,
is blaze trauma good tho? I need to roll one and try it
wheres the lfg for penance help?
qq more
Blaze trauma is still good
Blaze trauma is incredibly op this patch. On par with voidstrike and more than likely won't get nerfed.
I use it with ds4
@crude cape I have a vid here made on the first day of new patch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP0kFOiV6ag
Replicate of my old pre-patch 1.2.0 build with blaze trauma. Voidstrike overtuned getting all the talks but blaze trauma got even more op.
Patch 1.2.0
Map: Relay Station TRS-150 ¡ Disruption ¡ Damnation ¡ Hi-Intensity Shock Troop & Mutants Gauntlet (Hunting Grounds) (Cooldowns Reduced)
Loadout: Illisi Force Sword / Blazing Spirits Trauma
my trauma above is pretty nice, but i rock shattering. i could swap it for Blaze.
but you want Blaze + warp nexus for crits, right? Not warp flury
It's definitely not on par with void lol
Correct
Yeah crit chance flak, blazing spirits nexus.
I for one, cant wait till Void gets nerfed and all the metawhores fuck off to use summat else
Feeling good = strength
Which one of these is a better base:
THIS
why not just look around for penance help in the lfg channels
are you saying correct to my question? lol
I also use ascendant blaze to help with hordes since mk4 ds is not horde clear
Yes
hello,should I save the weekly currency stuff for lvl 30 or can I buy something at 22?
Lvl 30
I would personally wait
Probably right
30
save milkies for when you see T4 blessings
you'll be leveling and drop whatever Melk gives you anyway
or the rare unicorn item
Trauma is better than void in clutch situation.
Base damage is the most important stat
You can perma cc stuff.
Aight,thank you
Void does more damage and kills stuff faster
Sour Milk is best approached as a blessing dispenser
if you need to be in a clutch situation you already were not in a good position
if you need CC, Smite is king
I get that
if you need to kill, Assail and Void are king
Just saying that what you like and enjoy don't mena it's strong
Yeah, was wondering how big of a hit the Penetration dip is.
you may find Trauma fun, and that's fine
void staggers enemies pretty well
Okay trauma is not strong. 
but be objective about your comparative assessments
Buff trauma plz
TRAUMA IS THE STRONGEST STAFF IN THE GAME
Please buff trauma.
You can throw it into the calculator to make sure

I RESEARCHED THE GAME REAL HARD
I love this take.
But my hunch says right is better
Thank you based psyker chat.
Fatshark needs to fix Trauma aiming
By calculator do you mean an actual one? đ
Make it unlimited cleave outside the circle too
MY OPINION IS BACKED BY ALL THE SMART PEOPLE
There's a darktide one
and then I'll use it more
Let me get the link
why warp charges instead of emp. psyonics? I just havent gotten warp charges to feel good yet, since they always dump/reset now
Because a glance tells me the one with higher pen does more damage, numberw wise.
I also want Trauma to leave a patch fo warpfire as area denial
guys can the duel sword mk4 actually hit more than 2 targets to actually benefit from rampage?
I WANT THE SIENNA FLAIL TO BE PORTED
Warp charge give a lot of damage and peril resistance. You can just hold on to 6 stacks and spam trauma for some incredibly big damage.
now, if we're talking maximum ideal single target damage comparison between Trauma and Void staves?
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by ManShanko.
yea push attack
Your can also just like
you trying to say trauma isn't good?
its easily close to void in power, maybe not as flexible bc range and void is OP on carapace right now. It'll get nerfed.
trauma will be best after nerf, and its at least comparable rn
Thats the sense to me too, spam some dagger at the wall or whatever and they kill everything then if you aim the void at anything and it deletes, while running backwards as fast as you can to avoid situations that require skillful gameplay since the class is designed to be really slow and unresponsive now
Void getting nerfed isn't a certainty
but regardless, we're discussing the reality of now, not the fantasy in your head of tomorrow
please pool your warp energy for this not to happen
honestly, Void is likely to have its damage tuned downwards
it is super good right now
I already asked you for 1 build, sorry
but i was trying to build a stacks + BB build (instead of Emp Psyonics) and couldn't figure out the points since Warp Siphon needs more than the others.
Mind linking the trauma blaze talent build with Warp siphon + BB?
enjoy it while it lasts
oh
Yeah I think the void and the assail daggers need some nerfs
you show it in the video
void kinda broken
I have a hard time justifying taking any staff other than Void right now
easily best staff
Yeah I show builds always at beginning of vid.
DERP nvm @plucky flax
is running warp nexus + crit perk necessary on blaze trauma? or is 2 25% dmg perks and ignoring the extra 4-5% crit ok too
psykers melee weapons need some buffs too so you aren't locked into using the melee ultimate gimmick thing to melee
what
I feel ike + unyielding, or carapace, or something could be good too
Imo crit chance is the most important perk. If you can't get flak as 2nd perk so be it but get the crit chance.
phew, one more mission and I won't have to touch my Veteran for the rest of the week
Psyker melee is cracked wym
psyker melee is limp in comparison to last patch
Duel sword and deimos easily S tier, illisi just slightly behind
Power sword do be power full
I have a nice trauma, but its not setup for blaze. I'll have to roll another
maybe if you low apm it might be better now I guess?
Both force swords are mad good still and duelling sword mk4 is also very good
i still like this one tho....with all the big armored elite patrols since patch (they feel like they increased) shattering is nice
but psyker wasn't really ever the low apm class until this patch
Yeah keep it and try to roll another one. You might not like the slower charge rate without flurry. Most important modifiers are charge rate, damage, blast radius.
Try to get as high charge rate as possible.
you playing starcraft 2 or something
Is Deimos only S with the cancel to the second heavy?
I mean if you low apm it probably feels about the same I'd bet
yeah, you can also use the special on the rapier
Idk what apm has to do with it pre patch all you had to do was spam dodge and do special heavy for 2 swings and everything was dead
Same thing still works
With illisi
is there a way to do the cancel other than the block thing? I can't get that to work consistently at all right now.
feels like it doesn't work as well, something is noticeable and i dont think its just slaughterer
the amount of cleave
or something
probably a dirty dagger x sword elf main
is there anywhere i can see rotated cosmetics?
nope, the charge on animation on the illis sword is a lot longer than it was last patch and the illis swords attacks are a lot slower while dodging this patch, I'm honesly shocked and even average psyker players didnt notice that one
Yes they were nerfed. git gud lmao
Even then i dont think that makes melee bad
how is psyker a low apm class, wat? quelling? infinite dodges? even assail requires lots of clicking even if its easy
pre patch melee was just as dumb as it is now, I agree, it's just designed to be emmensely gimmicky now
psyker melee is baby class, always has been with inifite dodges
boring?
What stats am i looking for on a maccabian sword? or rather, whats a good dump stat on it
Do you guys prefer in fire reborn or vampiric when using shriek?
once you get the timing down you are essentially literally invuln but now with the illis sword being converted to more of a jank style of what it was last patch you are supposed to just use the dodges to skate backwards ad nauseum since even with perfect timing it doesn't produce the TTK's required to stay in the group well.
vampire usually unless im using purg staff
Gotcha, Jsat said that anything on fire would have the 10% even if your enemies kill them but not getting great results in the Meatgrinder with it
Mobility dump
@plucky flax i just noticed you take BB on that trauma blaze build, but no BB augments....why?
You dont think it boring brainlessly spamming dodge on psyker as opposed to needing to use more of the core combat system like you do on other classes?
yes
Nice rolls
with the low peril resistance it'll pair well with venting shriek and creeping flames
Youâve a beautiful horde clear
Combine with the other soulblaze nodes and either BB or Assail and bam
ok i'll try to build it after farming more plasteel

when will we raid a plasteel factory
Also for voidstrike, is bottom left or right skill tree better? stable damage and fast ults with left, but with surge and true aim it seems to have a great amount of reliable constant double hit crits
Honestly, a specific mission to get plasteel would be nice
Interesting, I find the huge dodging distance the ogryn has to feel really really nice, especially once i realized how huge the melee range on the ogryn is
plasteel event feels good
Event?
what should I replace the riposte with?
You don't?
i thought riposte was good
You shouldnât
Riposte is great
SMH are you guys happy now
could go rampage if you dont like dodging
such a Reddit moment
I thought the play was shred for the blessing
this staff just cucked me so hard rolling t3 on everything....like...HADRON COME ON
I prefer "Old Faithful"
shred is same as this just that this is longer
I honestly never understood people fascination with deflector, not getting hit was just easier
30% cost reduction is huge tho
Abandoned the obscures like the rest
I see how it is
Smh
Because bb is purely for killing bombers/snipers from far away.
yeah but for a blessing spot? always seemed way to expensive for my blood, I mean I gotta put something on my curios
I don't need any sub-talent for something I won't use that much.
Dome + warp charge is so handy for the people who yolo into gunners hordes
Iâm the Oprah Winfrey of domes
the instant BB chance kinetic flayer tho seems kinda better than wildfire, no? people were JUST arguing to me in here wildfire feels bad still
at least, if i wanted to try that swap, i think it would be a reasonable 1 talent point adjustment
on the build right?
I donât think itâs worth putting extra points into BB tbh
Don't trust people here just trust me I'm actual top 1% psyker.
Itâs a low frequency skill
Wildfire top tier top pick for blaze build.

âFree damage every time something diesâ đŚ
We meet again Agent


alright, i'll try it as you had it
best i was able to make before running out of plasteel lol
I ran surge and smite with wildfire. Sue me. 
not sure if it'll be good enough

Good weapons are overrated tbh
i have a really nice one with shattering/flurry
I just play zealot to counter the gunners now honestly, seems like less work than trying to make psyker melee more than a meh tier version of it's former quality.
but wanting to try blaze trauma
It's okay a bit sad on the charge rate. đŚ
But enough to let you play around and see how you feel.
Like if youâre at the top tier of play high rolled weapons gonna make a difference but for everyone else simply improving their movement and placement gonna matter more
I recommend running force sword / duelling sword and just mostly use staff.
i recommend running
Cooldown vs damage aura
I feel like damage tbh
I recommend using Assail
17.5% CDR is huge
but honestly, no more than two Assail users on the striketeam
and crushers it does same damage as surge staff except infinite range kekw
Damage is huger
10% to elite and specials is kinda 
I kill crusher with trauma cba to switch to bb.
It's alright I guess
Disagree, itâs enough to take people over breakpoints assuming it works đ¤ˇââď¸
Also what are we cooling down? Mostly crappy shouts
And dome
Void can one shot Crushers on Damnation when surge blessing procs
Everyone's CDs
I use it with my smite build
If if if
When
dang
i mean even if youi don't proc shit with void you still two shot crushers
Surge staff can't one shot a Crusher on Damnation, ever
This is truth
Surge can barely two shot it
I like trauma more than void tho
check mate, heretic
while also taking out everything between you and the crusher
Surge and void should just swap their damage
anyone here want to play im trying quickplay malice and i keep ending up the highest level as a new player level 11 like we just fail. Anyone want to carry/teach me psyker stuff idk if anyones bored
Void kills it in two, trauma guarantees get down mr crusherdent
and past the crusher, void doesn't stop
Imagine if ranger vet got infinite ammo on plasma gun and almost no heat on shots. That's void now lmao
I mean i play exclusively damnation + or maelstrom, and have 600 hours and multiple level 150's.
so ya im trying to roll perfect weapons, i got plenty of "good enough" ones.
just sadge I never rolled a blaze trauma, i don't even have t4 blaze learned somehow and my psyker is almost lvl 200 lol.
RIP
Well if I did 900k damage with surge I can easily do 1m+ with void too but you know I just wanna lightning disco balls.
When? How do you make those proc at 100%, that is a trick I would love to know the strat behind!
See what I mean tho? You donât actually need them, you just want em đ
I wish obese fish would unlock the impossible tech of letting us dye gear
I want to gussy up my penance gear
I only play three of the classes (never bothered leveling vet since I figured they would get nerfed out) but I only roll for at least near perfect weapons since once you get one that has the right perks and blessings all you are gonna think about is how you wish it also had nice stats, lol
Reee having to talk to Melk before contracts track is such bs
It's simply time played in this rng system. Sadly I play this game too much so I have a lot of good weapons.
Slaughterer 4 after nerf. 
Eh it's still good
they buffed the deflector too
Agreed, and knowing what the realistic cost of a good weapon is, like if it takes 30 rolls the get a good weapon base rolls and several of those to get one with the correct perks and blessings, then that is the actual cost.
riposte, executor and superiority
and i have the entirety of the psykestick blessings
I totally work to fill the stickerbook too, lol
please hide the smite users
i got almost the entire lasgun roster while sitting on psyker
but i get to have the slaughterer AFTER nerfs
sigh
Feels bad, slaughter felt soo good last patch!
gun shop dude better step his game up, spent over 200k in hopes to roll a good item, none of them went above 360
Spongebong Bignuts
Spongebob Nudepants
rule 1 of quartermaster is that you donât go there expecting good weapons, you make them yourself
Also make sure to find out what the dumpstats on your favored wweapon are, if any
you can run a lower modifier weapon if the low stat is a dumpstat
I dropped 200K a couple times yesterday and wasn't even mad when I didnt get a single weapon I would consider running, lol
Just beware the blessings may be a bit low
I dumped 1 mil dockets last week on shovels 
Didn't get a single one I would use either
how many holes are you planning to dig jfc
a mill and not a single decent one is kinda rough, TBH
assume i swap out unarmoured for 5% crit??
it was, I love Brunt's Armory 
also is there no rank for for blazing spirit?
higher rank = more stacks
It looks alright though itâs a shame mobility is 80%
im sorry, is there no rank 4************ for blazing spirit
Fortunately finesse is attack speed, which is still ~70% which is fine.
And cleave damage is assisted with blessings.
At least thats my guess.
doesn't look like it
@long wharf merci
I just need to master the parry timing
I use the gameslantern darktide site to look up blessings
Train myself to use it when you hear the "woosh"
now if only you could parry chain daemonhosts
Right?
I cranked my DPI on my mouse to the sky which helped me learn how to push attackers from behind.
Oh you mean the special on the catachan sword? just spamm the hell out of it
anyone know whats best second Perk with 5% crit on trauma staff for soulblaze stuff?
I mean
You already got the 5% crit
Not sure what else youâd really need for soulblaze fishing perk-wise
brain burst (im biased)
To get warp charges only bb gives it outside of the keystone talent
keystone shits out charges in damnation because of elites tho so you don't need it
i DONT have the 5% crit. thats the thing. im going to brick the item by putting 5% on it. i want to know what works best beside that. i havent played for half a year and dont want to cock up a near perfect staff is all
oh
again its
Yeah thats trash. Give it to me.
NO
đŚ
advice
BAD
Anyone got a ss of the new krieg psyker pretty please?
you can leave it as it is
I've been messing about with a build taking all the soul blaze related talents but not using the purgatus staff. Instead I've taken an Illisi force sword and void strike staff both with crit blessings and Soul Blaze. With a scrier's Gaze build I can get it to proc fairly often, but I can't help but feel it's still a bit meme-y. They buffed bleed out the butt, and I'm hoping they can at least tune the amount of stacks given with the soulblaze blessings to make it feel a bit more impactful. That being said, I've had good success with the build but can't tell if that's just due to the strength of the Ilisi force sword and Void strike staff on their own or if the soulblaze blessings are actually markedly improving the damage output. Anybody have any experience using the soul blaze blessings?
I use the Krieg chest and the metal visor with collar helm
go for True Aim talent
Thanks boo đ
spam like a moron
IDEAL would be maybe likely or not IF possibly warp nexus
but that's heavily debatable
i dont use krieg because krieg loses maya in bl3
fucking pitchford
i do recommend stacking peril red (i.e. go for warp siphon with the peril reduction) and you're gucci
it's already The Way for voidstriking in my opinion
but yours is gonna fill up your demonsemen meter in a matter of seconds otherwise
my what meter
your demonsemen meter do you even listen
why would I listen to that
For Scrier's, which do you think is better; the -20% peril generation or the up to +30% finesse damage?
I find the -20% peril generation is kinda useless
It adds 2 more stacks if you donât quell
When I could just land headshots and get max stacks anyway
but you get 20% more time?
finesse damage. -20% peril only applies to stuff you generate separate from scrier generation
ah
weakspot damage is multiplicative now, so 10% weakspot on your voidstrike will boost every other damage boost by 10%
If you plan on using a purgatus or something it might be useful...maybe but for everything else
Itâs not technically 20% more because the peril generation scales exponentially so itâs literally only 2 more stacks. From 12 to 14 if you donât quell
So I'm trying to make a crit laspistol psyker build with disrupt destiny and scriers gaze, any tips on blessings or in general?
Infernus for funsies
Again that -20% DOES NOT apply to peril generated by scrier
is this any good?
well yeah but what should my other one be?
boooooo
Best blessings for voidstrike staff?
Surge and Flurry I believe
Oh my bad. I thought it did in my testing.
It's annoying how it works
Sounds even worse then
not entirely sure if warp resis is needed
If melee psyker ever really picks up scrier's gaze could be good for that
2 handed force sword when?
I had success with scriers on my dueling sword. Canât say if it was optimal but I was one shotting everything. This was Heresy though since I was just testing it
I use scrier with saber and laspistol and headshots is just better
replace carapace and get the peril quell
or
huh
is that a new blessing?
could be neat if you replaced carapace with crit chance
Really debating between the perks
Can someone help me how do i get 520+ rating?
on staff
or every items
Also which mission am i missing?
- buy all 370+ base quality items you can find
- upgrade things to orange if you need to collect T4 blessings
- prey you will get 2 good rolls out of 4
- patch the other (max 2) bad rolls
The only way is a lot of patience and good luck. It's such an unrewarding crafting system.
thank brother
appreciate it
What about curios?
Similar deal, some stuff, like wounds, usually are at the highest stat, but some curios get a bit wonky
Some curios have really low chances
Like normally 2 stamina curios are fairly common
But very rarely you can get 3 stamina ones
And a lot of them follow that
Aside from that, you just change the low tier perks to higher tier ones you can, and you have a high tier curio
of course, bear in mind to change the stuff to stuff you want, bigger number doesn't always mean better based on the stats you need or such
Like @near wyvern said base rating should be 350+ what rating should be curios?
Just look at the stat number
15% toughness or higher
3 stamina
20% hp
Etc etc
It's less number based on curio, look for the stat instead
As beansie said above
15% or higher, 20% hp or higher
3 stamina if you can find one
Stuff like that
Can take a while to find some of those ones as they're pretty rare
So when using smite, when should you use regular and channeled?
channeled with empowered psionics
they are noticeably easier to get, you only need to get a blessing you like with 1 good perk as you can roll the other two, camping the hourly shop is also your best friend here (use the browser plugin)
curios if you are starting out anything will do but eventually you want to be looking for 75+ base ratings
and for weapons you start with 350+ if you are fresh and after you have your base curios and weapons all set then you go after the 370+ ones
and really buy all 370+ weapons you can find, even if they are shit tier now, one patch later they might be the best you can get
What is "Finesse Damage" if finesse is how fast you attack?
attack speed and weakspot multiplier, don't recall if it also affects crit damage
Crit and weakspot damage
thanks!
finesse damage, as a stat given by blessings (e.g., precognition) is +crit/weakspot dmg
so +60% Finesse damage is +60% Critical dmg and +60% Weakspot dmg
ye
sadge
still peepee poopoo
ehh... so the only really viable gun psyker build is revolver build cause the rending overflows to assails and you just spam assails all day long?
recon is too ammo hungry
vraks is too squishy
and anything not a crit build is not worth considering
vraks 3 + empathic evasion I suppose
I mean it's great whenever there is a monstrosity but when there isn't it's meh
recon lasgun is fun if you take the lowest fire rate one cause you can still just walk through bullets but you run out of ammo with that quite fast
Anyone know if Smiteâs bonus damage taken debuff that it puts on enemies has a duration? Or is it till death, trying to figure out if the talents for smite are worth it
autopistol is probably still fine but will have much more of an ammo issue now
Is that additive or multiplicative with a weapons base crit and weakspot modifiers?
If additive then a finesse bonus from gaze would be more affective for something like a recon lasgun than a headhunter autogun with deadly accurate, right?
I'm pretty sure this is still wrong.
Only backstab damage should be pure multiplicative.
As in it increases the total damage dealt by the attack
how the hell do backstabs work?
Stab someone in the back and if you have backstab bonus damage you do bonus damage
Which I believe only Zealot does rn
As far as I'm aware all +X% finesse, weakspot, critical or weakspot critical damage only increase the extra portion you do when you get those types of damage numbers.
I think blessings allow other classes to do "back" damage, but not backstabs yeah
Ah yeah
Knife has blessings on backstab
But I think its only rending
And some guns or something
Knife should get 100% rending from backstabs and also +50% damage at least
Laspistol has the +40% for shooting people in back blessing
if I want flame staff which one is the go to
The one that shoot flames
Rifthaven MK II Purgatus force staff?
Yeah
Trauma with Blazing is an option too
It doesn't murder hordes quite the same but it does way more damage to most other stuff
blazing void also exists but it might not work anymore now that it just kills stuff outright
It exists but you'd basically be gimping yourself to make use of it
not bad right?
You want 76 burn but that would do fine till you get a staff with 76 burn
I just hit 30
o.o
final staff
gonna farm blessings now
to replace it with warp nexu
What blessings should I get for trauma staff and duelling sword Mk IV?
My current staff got warp flurry and warp nexus and the sword has uncanny strike and riposte, both seem pretty good
trauma ideally blazing spirit + warp nexus if you have high charge rate and blast radius, otherwise warp flurry + rending shockwave
for duelling sword mkiv you want uncanny strike with your preference of rampage, shred, or riposte
Thanks
you should wait until you get one with 76% burn
no point really investing in one with <76, that one as it is will be usable until you get said 76%
Is Assail considered Ranged for the weekly contract?
possibly, since it benefits from true aim which only triggers for ranged attacks
I mean, can only be used by ranged attacks
for example brain burst can generate true aim stacks but cannot consume the guaranteed crit, just like any melee weapon
Yes.
Psyker the last class I gotta get to 30 I donât feel like it tho somebody motivate me
play assail, go full assail build, bring a void or surge staff to kill armoured targets
trauma isnt bad either.
I got psyker to 30 at launch, you can get psyker to 30 with his super buffs
Yes
sheeh
It feels quite nice
need Uncanny Strike now
Defelector with the perk that allows you to use peril to block
Get out of jail free card
Unlimited dodges
This is correct
With bubble idk if deflector is worth antmore
Just take unstable peril or something for free damage
The truth is that Deflector was never worth
it still is worth if you dont need a melee with damage to kill stuff and you are not using shield, makes reviving allies very easy
Kinetic Deflection, yes. Deflector on Force Sword, ehh.
being able to revive someone while being shot at and blocking all the hits is worth it
i watched someone use deflector one time cuz i was like "huh this blessing isn't doing much for me" and i watched them walk in a straight line without sprinting at a scab shooter
and if thats what it takes to make that blessing work i would rather delete my psyker
Before shield I liked deflector
Now with shield I can see it being less value
I enjoyed it before though
It's only value was to reduce some chip damage while you were dodge sliding across sightlines for some reason
is force sword best secondary for psyk?
depends on build
if you need a good single target damage sword, then you want the MK IV Dueling sword
if you are not killing with it, the Illisi has good cleave, and Deimos is good single target of the force swords
i felt like i was gimping myself by not using the class exclusive weapon
Dueling sword is class exclusive, only we get it
oh i thought the force sword was the only exclusive
Fsword is just easy, Dswords require some footwork, but very fun. Although im trying to build. Deimos with riposte, still working on it in game practicality
@crude cape Here is the 900k damage surge smite meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e0oBfL4nqo
Incredibly fun build not using the most broken things this patch (assail, voidstrike, unlimited power smite bug). The only weakness is very bad monster damage.
Patch 1.2.1
Refinery Delta-17 ¡ Disruption ¡ Damnation ¡ Hi-Intensity Shock Troop & Mutants Gauntlet (Hunting Grounds) (Cooldowns Reduced)
Loadout: Illisi Force Sword / Surge Force Staff
What the fuck are those sound clips
Class swords are quite good, don't always nneed to use them of course
But currently I'd imagine they're the best of psyker's options
ive always been huge on force sword, just curious what i should switch out on this dueling sword to give it a try
so since im running crystla shards, force sword and void staff. would it be wise to take the talent that when I crit it increases warp damage?
replace riposte with uncanny for the anti armor
I like rending and riposte or shred on dueling sword
shread is easy to maintain too
rampage is fine , honestly riposte is also okay, kinda depends how you use the weapon ofc. your persks are also already fine tbh, although flak might be useless since I think it one-pokes most flak (maybe not without the uncanny rending though)
Is there a link to the build on this? You must have gone pretty hard to make sure good actually
is the current staff cosmetic the only one that appeared b4?
im confused about smite
How would you guys recommend the cliffhanger penance I swear I cannot get it for the life of me
When you see a lot of dudes, you must smite it
When those dudes are really big you must smite it
sometimes It generates FUCK loads of peril
and sometimes It removes it..??
Rampage requires A LOT of push attacks to make it work because that's the only way to cleave the required amount of targets.
Dueling sword and knife have a lot of mobility but you can get bully into a corner beacuse both weapons have weaker pushes.
Empowered smite is bugged
If those muties goin hard you must smite it
aha?
Yeah it costs no peril if you have empowerd psionic stacks
So you can drains stamina more easily.
in the words of our time
Thatâs when you whip out trauma, look at your toes and start blastin
@plucky flax I like the part where you refuse to use LMB on Surge to hit a bomber out of range
bio-lodestone or overpowering souls
What
We're talking about rampage, not CC from other weapons.
but true
I rate riposte/shred/precog over rampage on the mk4 since you're bringing it out for single target anyways
Badda bingo
Gotta use the right tool for the job
And build it accordingly
The skill that gives 20% extra damage based on your peril, what is the scaling for that?
Like what percentage of peril caps out at 20%
If you see a horde and you thinking âima dueling sword these mfers downâ đ and think
IOW who needs a knife in a nuke fight
do we also know when cosmetics rotate in the cash store
When obese fish feels they will get money without much angry mooing
Like blowing heads off the enemies
let me spend monie
Next Friday I think
anyone know if there will be a hotfix to fix the psyker skill tree?

Hotfix? Probably not. A normal patch? Most likely.
damn normal patches take forever to come out
For the emporer I shall donate my soul to purging the heratic
whats broken?
Grab the customisation mod and you can make your own weapon skins as the Omnissiah intended
When the obesefish patches assail by buffing the damage and increasing the projectiles thrown when you right click
Shield with Warp Charges. Scrier's with Warp Charges. Empowered Psionics with Smite.
in what way are they broken?
Dome with warp charges is great too
Shield gets 100% CDR
Very funneh
I don't have any mods currently
not to mention the mark skill needs to be reworked
This new tech tree is cool, but I still like my void staff, bullet blocking force sword and brain pop combo

Empowered Smite costs no peril and can be held forever
Oh didnât know Scriers was bugged too
wasnt that the point?
wtf
Smite doesn't have it noted at least
so my zapping days are numbered?
most likely
You should'nt be using it that way anyway
Hopefully they buff the numbers for Smite instead
also smte is better if it does generate peril ngl
Because infinite smite is barely useful
Its only good if you're cornered by things you can't kill
i like stunning hordes
I just kill the hoard
If you're going surge you should also get nexus
It's still not something intended I imagine
If you're going transfer peril you should get flurry
Zapping hordes infinitely for no cost seems a bit weird
still fun
I mean you can do that without Empowered.
never said it wasn't
But doesn't seem intended
Also I don't like smite because my computer is doodoo and it makes me run at 4 frames lol
I enjoy making elites cower in fear. If they even so much as rear their ugly heads, they're popped

Pls no flame I'm bad.
yeah and you can be more efficient than that, if you properly build around it you can do flames ult into smite and by the time you hit 100% peril all are dead except mutants who look like they went through a nightly rave
Not surprising yeah
seriously am i the only one who prefers smite generating peril like its so amazing at generating peril for toughness
Smite seems safe, but takes a lot of time
And in a lot of missions the last thing you want is to be sitting around lol
Because my purg staff doesn't generate fast enough
number one rule of playing smite: find a good corner
same but empowered psy makes it break and i go sad
Real question. With psykenetics wrath, would you rather soulblaze or just do 100-200 damage

soulblaze
soulblaze is more damage
I mean technically
If you have 0% peril
100 damage is probably more
Than 1 stack of soublalze
But
A poxwalker has 300hp on Damnation for reference
WHy are you shouting at 0 peril
375
soulblaze is still more damage đ cause armour reduces the flat damage
it does like 80 on trash mobs
Oh rad
It also
Does reduced damage
Over distance
Because
Your peril goes down
And it's not based on your peril when you shout
Only when using assail.
lmao

Unlike soulblaze which is based on the peril when you ult
i plan on mainly using it in a different build to act as my main armor killer
But yeah, I like edging my peril
yea if using it for antiarmor you'd want uncanny then.
The build is at the start of the vid.
best thing to do, with all the buffs you get while at high peril
Does shield have more hp than dome? Obviously shield is better vs melee and dome is better vs shooter but
Wow, very cool đ
Keep smiting.
24% per stack on duelling sword
at this point not sure, we dont have shield health numbers
Btw where are the surge staff haters now?
T4, that's 24% per stack for 5 stacks but rending caps at 1.25x damage when it gets above base damage. However, that's multiplicative with everything, so stacking rending and power is insane.
We have surge staff haters?
900k damage surge must be op. 
I barely use my melee. It's only worth to me is blocking range spam and running quicker

surge is the balanced staff 
@plucky flax also you ran an Illisi so clearly it carried
Lol now that Iâve seen the vid I recognize you. weâve played together a few times đ
you can regain the power if you slap uncanny + slaughterer on it
I only meme.
I'm not that good I need deflector. 

Everyone talking about the 4 Voidstrike
But what about the 4 Surge
Nothing ever moves before its dead
I hope psykers get more varied cosmetics (not aquilla shop)
Bzzzz
Flak rather than maniac interesting.
we got given the sackcloth clothing earlier this year from the newer penances
before that we just had recolours of the redacted penance cosmetics
I normally just shoot maniacs before they get to me, but maniac might still be better for mutants tbh
ive started having a maniac melee, and unyeilding main weapon
monstrocities are annoying
oh anothing thing that needs fixing is scriers gaze and the "gain toughness on quell" perk doesnt work together
Feel like people don't run Scriers Gaze or Disrupt Destiny much on Psyker
and are missing out
i only use those when i play gunker/ melee build
i use it to gen peril in melee
Which ones DD again?
I like the idea of scriers but its really awkward in practice
Disrupt destiny
god that one sucks ass

This build lets you get 60+% crit chance
its amazing for melee and gunker builds
It's an insane melee build.
The hardest part of gun psyker is just toughness regen and running bubble helps with that immensely. Wanting to run scriers + melee/ gun psyker makes toughness a bitch
yea but if feels awful to use since allies can acidently steal kills and half the time it marks shit arround walls
I donât wanna be a melee build I wanna be a space wizard
Assail handles shooting. Game is ez mode.
If Disrupt Destiny didn't just mark
ONE ENEMY
Until it FUCKING DIES
It would be fine
crit toughness and kinetic flayer to get BR on hit to trigger warp attack
I don't care, I throw homing darts
yea but then i ruin the game for everyone else by asail spamming
DD should mark one enemy per second with no cap to how many can be marked, ez
Yeah the build is broken
Definitely a brain bust moment
It's both the strongest psyker build and the least fun for people to play with
yea or maybe have it just be if anyone kills them you get the buff so kill steals still help
How do you get 550 rating?
and the most boring to play for me tbh
Absurdly easy to play through the game. The glaring weakness the build has is anti-boss and Ogryn
I don't mind spike spam. It doesn't kill the elites quick enough. So I get the elite brain burst kills

380 base rating + all t4 perks and blessings
I run out of position on purpose to make it difficult
use revolver and mk iv dueling sword to cover that weakness
Still pretty manageable
damn my sword is so much worse then yours across the board
But how will i braindead hordes without my empowered Sword?
assail covers that
I figure using this will make the build synergy rewarding
thats why i said use the others to cover the weakness of assail
I like voidstaff and Power sword

There was just TOO MUCH stuff on damnation
Yeah I am not meaning to discount what you are saying
I agree
Dueling sword is amazing
It feels like a better knife
assail has a weakness?
Yeah you have to lower yourself to the point of playing assail.
It sucks against Crushers, Bulwarks, and bosses
Because it is
The shame.
Good

side note is there anyway to game the rng for getting weapons like needing
a good rating
good stats spreads
at least 2 perfect perks or blessings
and all of this costs like 7 missions worth for materials its just pain in the ass
Idk who thought Dueling Sword 4 should oneshot muties to the head
pray Brunt's Armory likes you
Armoured enemies and monstrosities
Revolver and Mk IV deuling sword cover that weakness
And that Hadron doesn't brick your weapon
god i fucking HATE rng based progression
gambling at brunt's armory and ripping blessings from Melk's weekly whatchamacallits
I spent 1 mill dockets on shovels last week 
Yo dawg we heard you hate RNG so we put RNG in your RNG so you can RNG when you RNG
đđ¨
Assail letâs you skip the trash until you can get the good stuff
well at least you have to actually fuckin use other parts of your kit there
profaned to whatever orange rank is called is like 1800 plasteel, which is maybe 3-4 missions. you buy the profaned weapons from brunt until they have good rolls and then upgrade and rebless. upgrading usually gives t3-t4 blessings and you can always rebless.
assail is still overtuned, it needs its ammo generation cut in half minimum
I think the blitz could be a burst of assail shards on a cooldown
Fewer darts would probably curb a shitton of Assail's strength
even still the fact that i spent A WHOLE FUCKING WEEK to get a DECENT sword but my freind got a PERFECT gun WITH 2 PERFECT FUCKING PERKS AND A PERFECT BLESSING FILLS ME WITH UNENDING RAGE
Disrupt Destiny and Scrier's Gaze are insane actually.
It's alright
Disrupt destiny barely works though?
dawg if the sword works what's the big deal
comparison is the thief of joy
Does it barely work? Is it bugged?
It does but for some people it bugs out and you can't see the glow
I think it has something to do with graphics settings
Because it always worked for me
Ah yeah.
it works but marked enemies occasionally do not glow
đ just hope they get screwed in a future update and the weapon becomes useless like my friends perfect bolter he got the same week as hadron was introduced
I mean I only ran it twice
DD does have some leniency mechanics so I'm mostly fine with it
But I got glowy people constantly
I just keep throwing Assail crystals. Max stacks are pretty easy to get
but I am a loot goblin so it's not for me
Yeah for me I only see maybe a third of the enemies marked that itâs supposed to mark if itâs marking as much as itâs supposed to
the game is WEAPONSING my need for perfection
The only issue I have is when it marks someone that I literally can't hit
Instead of any of the 200 guys it can mark next to me
mmm yeah but I suppose that's the purpose of the keystone
perfectionism? truly the gamer's curse
You mean like this genre is supposed to do?
dive or lose your stacks
If you play with a psyker who also has Disrupt Destiny it'll sometimes mark the same guy
No like literally
idfk why
I can't get to where they are
warframe doesnt do that
It happened once and it pissed me off so bad
yeah but warframe grind 𤎠đ¤Ž
also yes it fucking does
wouldn't even say warframe is the same genre as dt, maybe by a really broad generalization.
not realy most of the rng bassed things can be circumvented in warframe
Expect Assail to be nerfed in the near future.
Did anyone confirm if Smite is bugged right now?
Warframe doesnât have perfect versions of a weapon based on rng, you get a weapon and everyone has the same one, except for sister/Grineer weapons
WTB unrolled riven
tho i will admit the new archon system made me quit
The free empower is a bug
tbh the sister/grinner rng can also be gamed
I think DD should mark (non trash)enemies you hit at full health, rewards you for finishing enemies quickly and having high burst damage. Instead of a weird lottery that Iâm sure the game struggles to do correctly
warframe replaced rng with a guaranteed 3h+ grind for basically anything you want. its a different solution to the same problem which is getting people to keep playing the game and have something to work towards
hell it can be skipped entirely
if you have the cash to buy guaranteed liches from people
"The first enemy you hit with a warp attack becomes marked. Kill them to get $$$"
brother i meant in game cash
platinum?
i don't like how hard revolver falls off on damnation
that thing you buy with real cash?
i have 4 k plat and i didnt spend a cent
player trading yo
game the rich people
Does it have rough BPs in damnation? Never used it there
take their money
I don't think you can use free--
oh fuck I forgot about the player market
haven't played in a hot minute (I got bored)
legit i convinced a rich idiot to buy a atomos riven for 2k plat right before the atomos nerf it was AMAZINGLY FUNNY
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a5cca45-2a68-4767-a0cc-9d05278e9edc/brain-dead-crit-wizard
ey man you didn't know the nerf was happening
i did tho
shhhhh
i mean to be fair it was probably one of the best atomos riven in the game at the time it would have been worth the cash if it didnt become useless
Press e, spam m1, get marks. Get full stack, press F when horde assaults, equip melee, power attack and dodge side to side.
Game Mastery
what does e do?
fair my asail bind is m13
you don't left click to use assail?
no i mean the bind to pull out asail/grenades is m13
also should i just run 3 toughness curios
how to get t4 perks?
chance
buy 370+ base rating weapons and upgrade to orange, around 1 in 4 / 1 in 5 will get a T4 blessing
or sacrifice a weapon, which you earned or leveled by chance, and use the blessings on your new one
oh
Perks are just rerolling
yeah
pretty much same for perks
the base rating of the weapon affects the chance of getting good tier perks and blessings
you can roll them when consecrating weapons to green or purple
alternatively you can just bribe hadaron to put on whatever perk you want in place of one the weapon already has
as long as you have a modification slot free
is getting forced back onto your weapon if you get stunned while channeling smite a "feature"?
Assail is op any going to be nerfed.
true
Damn it's somewhat salvageable
It deserves the nerf
very true
Maybe swap Shred for Slaughterer and replace Block Efficiency with Flak?
replace uncanny with blazing spirit and block with crit chance 
any tips for getting Cliffhanger achievment?
i keep trying the Vigil map for the last bit, but after many hours i got only 6 out of 7
even when i get into a good place with plenty mobs its real pain getting them fall off
NOOOO
don't replace uncanny
it's one of the best blessings this patch
Chainsword on Psyker?
make sure you go rev it up and bloodletter
gotta go fast
