psyker-class

[harsh urchin]

Jesus

[spice veldt]

only deranged people have their dodge key set to shift

[clear heath]

idk i still use ctrl for crouch

[harsh urchin]

Imagine trying to slide with ctrl

[cyan notch]

bro u have deranged ui u cant judge peoples hotkeys

[spice veldt]

go out

[viral solstice]

tbf how can u judge his ui hes playing quake 2.5 not darktide

its a game no other human has ever played

[spice veldt]

this is true

[clear heath]

what's hard about that? it's right under the sprint key

i just press em both

[viral solstice]

they invented texture smoothing

and arco looked at it and was like

brother

its time to smooth some fuckin textures

[limber heath]

yea sliding with ctrl is very straightforward, just flatten your pinky

[spice veldt]

i would use unsmoothed, blocky textures if I could

[cyan notch]

quake 2.5 (years in jail for crimes against my eyes)

[spice veldt]

I only have my texture settings slightly cranked up to reduce the probability of people remarking on it

[viral solstice]

no commit to ur aesthetic

go full on smooth mode

[spice veldt]

true

time to change the numbers to -1

HERE WEEEEEE GOOOOOO

[viral solstice]

like that dude i knew who played cs 1.6 with every texture 100% averaged

over every surface

[spice veldt]

that's optimal gaming

[cyan notch]

i would put dead bodies to 0 if i could

[viral solstice]

i played it on 640x480

[harsh urchin]

does ur fingers hurt after a game

LOL

[limber heath]

no?

[spice veldt]

unsolicited csgo video

[harsh urchin]

esp sliding everywhere

[spice veldt]

my life was threatened

[cyan notch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/517736609345437718/779017156847337512/image0.gif

[winter magnet]

doggie :)

[harsh urchin]

also, do you have dodge on spacebar?

[spice veldt]

(that dog has killed 20 men)

[winter magnet]

good doggie :D

[spice veldt]

wtf

[limber heath]

me? yea

[harsh urchin]

so you press dodge, then press ctrl with pinky, can u keep rest of your hand on WASD?

it kinda hurts my pinky

to press ctrl in that stance

cuz my pinky naturally wants to sit around tab/capslock

[winter magnet]

I copied the wrong medal link. you saw nothing

[harsh urchin]

sprinting is alright but ctrl is a bit far

[limber heath]

i mean lets be real if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work, i'm not about to gatekeep keybinds unless they're like super weird but putting it on a mouse button makes sense

[harsh urchin]

no like i legitimately am curious

[limber heath]

i just have weapon special on a mouse button and haven't changed it lol

[harsh urchin]

cuz backsliding

and sidesliding

with dodge

[limber heath]

yea backsliding is fine for me

and sidesliding

[harsh urchin]

was legitimately awful

[limber heath]

and forward sliding even, if you believe it

[spice veldt]

i personally don't like stuff on mouse binds if I can help it since it throws off my aim

[harsh urchin]

forward sliding is actually fine cuz ur hitting shift to sprint anyways

main problem is hitting direction, then spacebar then ctrl

was giga cancer

[winter magnet]

maybe weird question but how old are you? I know when I was in like middle/early high school I had issues clicking control because my hands werent big enough

[viral solstice]

u play psyker dont u dare post any heretical nonsense about aiming in here

smh

[harsh urchin]

i'm 31

[winter magnet]

lmao

[lethal lagoon]

I have weapon specal on X, seems solid

[harsh urchin]

actually i'm 12

[limber heath]

this, yea. hence weapon special, which i never need while aiming (at least with guns, for sure)

[spice veldt]

just a hater

[winter magnet]

Ive got no clue

[harsh urchin]

and i have a tiny hand

reeeeeee

[viral solstice]

im sorry when i have gottem this hard i have to go to sleep gl

[spice veldt]

me when a muscle jerk throws my duelling sword special off to the moon and causes a crusher to overhead me

bai bai

[winter magnet]

when my hands were small I would move my thumb from space and click shift with/control with my thumb like some sorta pyschopath

[limber heath]

what the fuck

[winter magnet]

hehehe

[long ether]

What did I just read

[winter magnet]

brawlhalla beat that out of me

[cyan notch]

why are you jerking

[spice veldt]

and YOU screenshot the things I've said

[harsh urchin]

man

i'm so sad

[brave vale]

dumpstat on deimos is warp resistance right?

[harsh urchin]

that only the dueling sword 4 is good

i like the 5 way more

in terms of moveset

[spice veldt]

i like the mk2 cuz of the sweeping heavy

[winter magnet]

Ive been using the mk 5 on my auric runs and it's doing good work

[harsh urchin]

yeah the moveset is nice

sadly it just does like 40% less damage

[spice veldt]

mk5 has the nice h1 -> h2 -> l3 loop which is fun

[harsh urchin]

compared to the 4

[winter magnet]

yea I just dont have a good 4

tbh im the other way around and like the 4 moveset more

[spice veldt]

mk4 has the special -> h1 -> h2 loop, and mk2 has the sweep heavy

[winter magnet]

but ive got a boppin 5

[spice veldt]

the differences between the duelling swords are of the more interesting variety

taxes wish they could be this cool

[winter magnet]

im going to go get something to drink

goodbye for now wizards

[spice veldt]

bye

[brave vale]

whats the dumpstat on deimos

warp resist?

[harsh urchin]

yar

[cyan notch]

u can drop some mobility too

[brave vale]

Which one?

one on left costs the special currency

[harsh urchin]

finesse and first target are important

left one has good stats

[brave vale]

Argh

MY MONIES

[harsh urchin]

slaughterer is also pretty nice to have on it

[ornate hamlet]

whats the dump stat for staffs?

quell speed or warp resistance right

[harsh urchin]

depends on the staff lol

and the build

[ornate hamlet]

purgatus for example

[ebon jolt]

Damage for Purgatus.

[ornate hamlet]

i imagine its quell speed

since its not a huge deal quelling slightly faster

[ebon jolt]

Burn is most important, followed by blast radius and charge speed.

[rotund dagger]

What is this High Damage nonsense this description is on about

[coarse elk]

More like high stun

[ornate hamlet]

did they even playtest psyker

[harsh urchin]

actually this may not be true any more

[ornate hamlet]

how could they overtune him so much

[harsh urchin]

considering they significantly buffed the on-hit damage

for the purg

[rotund dagger]

buff smite

[ornate hamlet]

fix smite

[rotund dagger]

it feels kinda bad compared to assail

[ornate hamlet]

assail is overtune

d

[rotund dagger]

Both

[ornate hamlet]

like the dueling swords and void staff

[coarse elk]

Just buff Shards

Give us 15 and do 500 dmg its so simple

[cyan notch]

u sure? its not in patch notes

[ornate hamlet]

watch them nerf every class except psyker and not fix any bugs next patch

[harsh urchin]

Rifthaven Mk II Purgatus Force Staff

Primary Base Damage (0%, 80% Damage Stat):
From 5, 13 to 15, 27.

6th Target: 20, 36 to 50, 90.
7th Target: 40, 56 to 40, 56.

[coarse elk]

I cant wait for shards to be nerfed esp when its not fun for the rest of the team let alone the psyker

[ornate hamlet]

idk why people bug abuse smite when its not fun either

[coarse elk]

Theres a bug with smite?

[rotund dagger]

Smite + Empowered Psionics = no peril generated

[coarse elk]

Ohhhh

Thats stanky

[rotund dagger]

Its fun asf

[coarse elk]

Just free horde free then huh

[ornate hamlet]

i kick them or leave if theyre not kicked

[coarse elk]

People are gonna use bugs/broken stuff still it gets adjusted simple as

[summer prairie]

"6th Target: 20, 36 to 50, 90.
7th Target: 40, 56 to 40, 56." that's some weird numbers

[coarse elk]

Cries in old power sword veteran

[rotund dagger]

🤓

[ornate hamlet]

let me kill my teamates fps and ruin the fun for everyone

and then insult anyone whos against me

people like me btw

[blazing vector]

Fellow psykers I just recently started playing the class and need a secondary for crowd control, what would you reccomend?

[rotund dagger]

smite

[ornate hamlet]

purgatus, void staff, trauma staff

[rotund dagger]

also use empowered psionics

[ornate hamlet]

if gun psyker, use the recon lasguns

[rotund dagger]

🌩️

[blazing vector]

thanks

[obsidian arch]

can psykers use chainswords

[coarse elk]

Gun psyker is so silly

[ornate hamlet]

void staff especially is extremely overtuned

[coarse elk]

Like use the warp

[ornate hamlet]

insane single target and crowd control

they use the warp on their guns duh

[cyan notch]

i didnt know they increased past first target lol

[rotund dagger]

smite go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[summer prairie]

Do you really do more damage to the 6th boss if you line them up in the grinder

[coarse elk]

Unlimited powerrrr

[rotund dagger]

limited power until you START USING EMPOWERED PSIONICS

[blazing vector]

I also am looking for a single target high damage primary what do you reccomend?

[coarse elk]

Dueling sword

[steel flame]

Mk4

[cyan notch]

why does it do more damage on the later targets lmao that doesnt seem intuitive

[coarse elk]

Fatshark math

[steel flame]

Dueling sword mk4

[rotund dagger]

[brisk agate]

Just getting into Psyker and got the Voidstrike: what blessings and perks do I want?

[rotund dagger]

Smite and Empowered Psionics

[steel flame]

RN it's surge and nexus

[brisk agate]

Ah okay

[spice veldt]

if you're not yet level ~15, then Transfer Peril + Warp Flurry is a proper set of options

[harsh urchin]

@spice veldt have you fucked wit dclaws

What u got for me

[spice veldt]

but once you have enough points to get the True Aim talent, the Surge blessing is the one to go for on the vstrikes

[spice veldt]

i'm not based enough to use them unfortunately

[brisk agate]

oo okay

[spice veldt]

but I know that the parry can one-shot a dreg rager to the head

the dclaw parries have an insane finesse multiplier

the parry attack is a diagonal uppercut so you might have to move your camera to make it hit the head

[harsh urchin]

Hmm so the main thing is you need to parry?

[spice veldt]

yeah the parry is actually good

you can also parry crusher overheads

[harsh urchin]

That might be a skip for me then lul

[spice veldt]

shame

the light/heavies also got buffed

clears 80 poxwalkers in 15 seconds which is fine (on the MK I)

with savage sweep + rampage

[harsh urchin]

Savage sweep tho

[cyan notch]

its ok they made weapons have weakspot priority

[harsh urchin]

Is anybody using that

[spice veldt]

tru

[hearty laurel]

y'all, gamers, i have a mk V force sword with shred (increased crit chance with each hit) and blazing spirit (applies 4 stacks of soulblaze on crit) is that good or should i instead use somethin that raises my sword's power% instead of shred?

[spice veldt]

tbh I'd probably use it since I don't think I need shred on it

hmm, does Shred still drop its stacks when you activate the special on the illisi?

[rotund dagger]

All I know about Devils Claws is that they're misclassified as Swords

They're catachan knives

[hearty laurel]

shii, coulda had me fooled with how good they cut through hordes like butter :^)

[cyan notch]

we already have catachan knife

[spice veldt]

if Shred still drops stacks on special activation, then I'd advise against using Shred on the illisi

[viscid matrix]

we differentiate the force swords by thier name
Obscuros
deimos
illisi
those are pretty good, but you want Uncanny Strike on all weapons if you can

[viscid matrix]

that was an issue?

[spice veldt]

yeah, since the special activation breaks the chain

[viscid matrix]

welp if its still the case then rampage is better

[spice veldt]

o on the Illisi not the dclaw

[hearty laurel]

ohh i see. alright, thanks! (ah yes, illisi)

[rotund dagger]

Doesn't change the devils claws knife status

[glossy hazel]

I wonder how much ||fun|| this would be with wildfire

[hearty laurel]

that's what i always use it with hahahahahaha

quite enjoyable truly

[glossy hazel]

Yea it seems pretty fun but nothing beats slaughterer

Good thing I have two Illisis

[hearty laurel]

there's this and then there's an illisi i can put slaughterer and uncanny strike on

[hearty laurel]

but this is too fun '_'

[fresh reef]

purgatus good

[hearty laurel]

OH right, purgatus

[viscid matrix]

or you are carrying 3 deadwieghts

[fresh reef]

hell nah, they were all good

[cyan notch]

they killed a lot of specials

[fresh reef]

all level 100+ and were rarely out of position

[hearty laurel]

ok so assuming purgatus applies soulblaze, does that mean the fire can also spread if using wildfire?

[fresh reef]

our knife zealot got a little quirky, but she never got trapped or anything when she ran ahead so it's chill

[viscid matrix]

yeh i just had a closer look 😄

[cyan notch]

wdym assuming it can apply soulblaze

[viscid matrix]

yes

[cyan notch]

it literally shoots soulblaze

[hearty laurel]

i was wondering if there was a difference cuz of how soulblaze is activated in the skill tree lol 😅

i had asked dis question once b4 but wasn't sure. now i am, doe. thanx lads

[viscid matrix]

actually going by your numbers, you did the least damage, because of how much overkill damage you did 😄 you did almost half of your damage as overkill, compared to the others with 1/3rd 1/5th and 1/10th

[fresh reef]

yes, and it is quite stupid
gets you a headstart on the next 'wave' soulblaze stacks, though with crit they build fast anyhow
the neat thing is that it can actually spread from corpses

[summer prairie]

overkill isn't included in the main dmg stat

[fresh reef]

I never understood how overkill damage is a bad thing

[hearty laurel]

ok wtf i didn't know that

[coarse elk]

How do you get that after action report

Ah

[viscid matrix]

its a mod

[cyan notch]

it says actual damage right there tho

overkill is separate

[viscid matrix]

is it? i thought it was part of total damage

[summer prairie]

it's not, you can do more overkill than "total" damage

[tacit urchin]

what exactly do you mean by spread from corpses?

[cinder mesa]

on that note, i should get into modding the game

[fresh reef]

I mean it spreads, from corpses

[tacit urchin]

I know there's spread on kill effects, do burning bodies burn on contact?

[viscid matrix]

corpse on fire can spread the fire to targets around them

[fresh reef]

lemme get a clip rq

[hearty laurel]

was just about to ask, yeh

[tacit urchin]

I wasn't given the impression monster ragdolls actually existed

[fresh reef]

unlike other on-kill effects, Wildfire basically makes a radius for a time around where an enemy dies

in effect, this makes it spread from corpses

[cyan notch]

nah https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046913589614747719/1160999047163818147/image.png?ex=6536b39f&is=65243e9f&hm=fed54d256698fad8f9e63a9e9cb6238c4c796ba9a23eeafbe4ba9bbb86db975c&

[fresh reef]

oh, my mistake actually

it seems they patched that

[viscid matrix]

hmm, okay so its actually just more damage on top of the actual got it

Bort was on fire, look at that 190k damage to bosses

[fringe meadow]

Whats a good build to use the electric hands, I havent been able to make a good one for it

[viscid matrix]

#1158835513789272126 there are some good ones in there

[stiff rivet]

Do i want a staff for gun as psyker?

[hearty laurel]

ight

[glossy hazel]

Just me or is disrupt destiny just better void charges?
6 stacks of charges give you 24% damage boost.
30 stacks of disrupt destiny give you 30% damage boost, 60% critical damage, 75% weakspot damage.
I guess it's harder to stack disrupt destiny but still.

[fresh reef]

wildfire still keepin the damage high tho

[hearty laurel]

interesting that it was a bug in the first place lol

[limber heath]

different uses. I like staff but just cause i'd rather play something else if i want a gun

[stiff rivet]

ok ill try it out and see

[limber heath]

peril resistance, cooldown reduction, and much easier maintenance. also disrupt destiny right now is very scuffed to maintain, the marks move around iirc?

[stiff rivet]

just started and lvl 7 now

[limber heath]

try everything while you're levelling, you'll find out what you like that way instead of finding out what other people like

[viscid matrix]

pretty much, but also warp charges doesnt loose entire buff when you reach the 25 second duration. it ticks down 1 by 1
DD drops entirely after 15 seconds

[limber heath]

of course a lot of stuff will feel worse so focus on the general moveset.

[glossy hazel]

Yea, more power for harder maintenance

[fresh reef]

yeah just yknow, don't use your combat ability ever

[viscid matrix]

Assail builds are your best friend while leveling, it does enough damage to outperform any weapon you will get until you hit level 30

[viscid matrix]

true 😄

[fresh reef]

any weapon, any curio, anyone else on your team really

Assail is overtuned on Damnation, but it's just outright stupid on everything below that

[stiff rivet]

im not familiar with Assail

[viscid matrix]

its the blitz ability on the right side of the tree
it throws out shards at enemies that home in on weakpoints

[stiff rivet]

oh ok.

i have a special ability but unsure how to use

[limber heath]

should be clarified that you still have to vaguely aim them they won't just autotarget weakpoints for you (well they will but loosely)

[viscid matrix]

Blitz abilities are your 3 weapon

[limber heath]

i thoiught blitz came out on G but i rebound to C so idk

is it really 3 🤔

[viscid matrix]

i have it on 3 😄 it might not be

[viscid matrix]

hmm, i want to find out, but dont want to have to rebind everything again

[steel flame]

fucking christ its like a cointoss whether i get on and run perfectly fine or if i get all the shit servers that run like shit

[fresh reef]

the difference between "look at this cool rock I found" and "I need to charge my amethyst with postitive energy" has never been so profound

[tawny raptor]

im new, if i want to run assail what staff should i pair with it?

[stiff rivet]

Also is this like vermintide wheres they potions and grenades?

[strong gulch]

You can pair it with anything really. I've seen it paired with guns. It does have CC tho.

[limber heath]

grenades are your blitz ability, most characters get grenades while psyker gets funnies. the only consumables in-mission are healing stations and ammo crates

[strong gulch]

No potions. Each class has their own type of grenades. Except psyker gets warpy things.

[tawny raptor]

between voidstrike and trauma which one should i use?

[limber heath]

i guess if you consider grimoires a consumable since you can consume them once you have them they also count

[stiff rivet]

hidden grimoires in all missions?

[limber heath]

only missions with grimoires have grimoires

hope that helps

[unique mist]

what

[limber heath]

from the hee hoo meta standpoint, voidstrike. Trauma is still good though so if you like it use it

voidstrike is overtuned to hell so crutching it might not be ideal

[tawny raptor]

hee hoo meta wise, ive been running surge, should i take voidstrike over that?

im jus tryna run thru the missions and get big numbers, big numbers big happy yknow what im sayin

[strong gulch]

They do different things. Voidstrike sends an explosion ball that takes even crushers and maulers out.

Trauma has a circle on the ground that blasts around. It has more CC. There's 2 main ways to build it that are different in playstyle.

[limber heath]

surge is also good. VS is going to give you your biggest numbers but again, liable to see some nerfs and might be bad to crutch when trauma and surge also work well

purgatus also works well but psyker has good hoord options

[tawny raptor]

big numbers

urah

thanks friends

[limber heath]

wait, does trauma not do okay against crushers? like can't weakspot so more shots needed than VS but I thought it had acceptable performance

[autumn smelt]

(ik this was a few hours ago but it was on my screen when i clicked on this channel and i wanna reply lol)
heresy sure, but the jump from heresy to damnation in terms of rewards is so drastic, that failing halfway through a damnations nets you as much as a completed malice
plus the added benefit of a completed damnation almost always giving you a fully upgraded weapon for free, lots of my blessings in my sticker collection are from mission rewards, i was able to build my first knife yesterday for my zealot and already had some of the better blessings already and i didnt even realize
on top of that, youll get a lot better by playing lots of damnations, even if you arent winning (i would know)
just quickplay damnation honestly, you may think its sweaty, but its honestly full of people who just got good at the game via pushing themselves

[spice veldt]

the balance is a bit wonky currently, but trauma is fine against crushers

though I don't use it as my main damage against crushers because it will also spread crushers outwards

[limber heath]

yea thas fair

[spice veldt]

I do spam it if they're grouped, but otherwise I poke at them with a duelling sword if they're not grouped enough for a trauma to be worth it

[strong gulch]

You blast feet with trauma. It does well against crushers, but void is way overtuned and easy to use without displacing things the way trauma can.

[agile acorn]

what's with people aggro'ing DHs and leaving after they get killed by it?

[limber heath]

that's darktide.

[limber heath]

that's why i spend 15 minutes pinging any DH

[tawny raptor]

speaking of swords, whats a good melee to run?

[agile acorn]

I do too but it's like they're either too stupid/blind or just want to grief or something

[tawny raptor]

pairing with assail and voidstrike

[agile acorn]

I ping DH a vet starts shooting at it with their lasgun

it's an eye, not a skull

[limber heath]

if you have assail and voidstrike you don't really need anything else but probably mk4 duelly for mutants since that's about the only thing assail and VS aren't excellent against

[unique mist]

mk4 duelling sword for single target

could do chainsword for both single and hordes

ilissi force sword for deflector

[autumn smelt]

deimos is a close second for single target, and is perfectly fine if you prefer it tho

[tawny raptor]

fr? maybe bcause im playing on malice rn assail does great damage

[hearty laurel]

i'm finna get a sword like dat fr

[dense bramble]

Assail is sick

[lyric burrow]

on malice itll shread everything yeah

[autumn smelt]

almost every questions here is answered with damnation in mind

[tawny raptor]

im level 25 💀

[limber heath]

yea i think you might've misread my message or something uhh

[autumn smelt]

yeah in malice you breath on shit and itll die

[spice veldt]

you could go for the illisi or whatever since you are running void + assail

[limber heath]

I didn't say anything to imply assail wasn't good, and in malice its even better (everything is weaker )

[spice veldt]

but I'd personally run the mk4 DS with that setup

[autumn smelt]

i noticed earlier today that my dueling sword 1 shots a groaner to the head with a light attack on malice

[unique mist]

is the mk8 combat axe any good, brunt has a basically perfectly statted one with 80 in everything but mobility but i heard they're not good

[autumn smelt]

it takes 3 on damnation lol

[limber heath]

which is the mk8 is that the antax or rashad

[dense bramble]

My 2 fav psyker melee. I never really liked ilisi. I use the shield a lot

[unique mist]

achlys

[limber heath]

fuck

[dense bramble]

Mk 5 is my fav cause its for casuls. Just light attack everything but Crushers and maulers

[tawny raptor]

i dont have any friends to play malice+ with and ion wanna go with randoms so ive been stuck on malice for a while 🗿

[vagrant frigate]

loving gun psyker rn

[autumn smelt]

generally the worst out of the combat axes due to the moveset iirc
but combat axes hit like a truck inherently
unless you have literally 0 dockets to your name, id grab it (id grab any good statted weapon that brunt is selling tbh, never know when you might want it)

[tawny raptor]

is it just harder or are there any special features only on heresy and damnation?

[dense bramble]

Youll be okay with randoms bro

[autumn smelt]

ive played about 500 hours with randoms, youll be fine

[limber heath]

randoms are heresy in cursed but if you're playing psyker in its current state you'll be fine

[dense bramble]

Youre a random too

[vagrant frigate]

scrier + marked target + gun = fun af

mk7

[tawny raptor]

aight thanks fellas

[dense bramble]

Enemies have more health and do more damage. Its fun I swear

[autumn smelt]

the higher the difficulty

the less wounds you have
the more health enemies have
the more damage enemies deal
the larger the groups of enemies
the faster event thingies occur

[tawny raptor]

ah okay

[autumn smelt]

with 0 wound curios, you will have 2 wounds on heresy/damnation

[spice veldt]

the ranged damage reduction mechanic is also less lenient

[tawny raptor]

im not very knowledgeable, what does wound do?

[vagrant frigate]

is a down without death

[autumn smelt]

breaks in your healthbar

[tawny raptor]

ah i see

[autumn smelt]

yknow how when you pick someone up after their down, that part is gooped up

[tawny raptor]

yessir

[autumn smelt]

thats a reduction in max health

[limber heath]

gooped up

[tawny raptor]

uh huh

[spice veldt]

there's a mechanic that grants you damage reduction against ranged attacks whenever your toughness is broken
On higher difficulties, the duration of this mechanic is shorter, and the cooldown is longer

[autumn smelt]

if you go down when goop is in your last wound, youre dead dead

[tawny raptor]

gotcha

[autumn smelt]

so basically, less times you can be downed before youre actually dead

[tawny raptor]

ya’ll think ill be alr on a maelstrom heresy mission rn?

havent really tried it yet

[autumn smelt]

maelstroms are a cluster fuck of modifiers, read what they are before you head in

[limber heath]

maelstroms are going to be the biggest possible spike, i would at least try normal heresy or even hi int heresy first

[tawny raptor]

its been a long time since ive played ( vet powersword 💀 )

[autumn smelt]

you will probably lose, but go do it anyway
see what its like

most fun missions in the game

[tawny raptor]

real

[autumn smelt]

absolute chaos

[limber heath]

yea the game gets significantly better when its a clusterfuck

[autumn smelt]

ok bye starting the monsterous specials maelstrom

[tawny raptor]

btw what is auric?

im lookin at it and its a maelstrom damnation mission 💀

[remote gale]

It seems that dumdum (the blessing for guns that gives damage on close range hit) is activated by warpfire, regardless of distance, which pretty much means 30% extra damage if anyone is on fire

[limber heath]

auric just forces high intensity+ modifiers on every mission in the category. it also mandates level 30

[autumn smelt]

only the middle one is maelstrom
the outer ones are heresy-damnation missions always with high intensity, and sometimes an additional modifier

so basically a masochist mission board

[strong gulch]

Wish the mobility was higher so I could get another full dodge. I'm happy with it for now tho.

[obsidian arch]

what is better guys venting shriek or scriers gaze? im using the needles

[north cradle]

I'd say Venting Shriek, because for one, I don't think Scryer's Gaze is worth it unless you're running Gun Psyker. The other is that you'll chew through your Peril

[strong gulch]

I feel like gaze conflicts with assail because it builds peril. Easy way to explose.

[north cradle]

And you'll build fewer stacks

[strong gulch]

If you want to focus on non warp thing, gaze can be good.

[limber marsh]

currently using the dagger, but what is a good build and melee weapon if I want to go almost pure melee?

[north cradle]

Chainsword is mad right now

[obsidian arch]

when i use assail i find myself building peril super fast so i naturally wanted to go venting route, but i didnt know how much dmg id be missing out on

[north cradle]

I still like my Deimos tho just for deleting Ragers

And because my Illisi was nerfed when Slaughterer was

[elder tartan]

quick question, does the head item equipped by the left psyker in the character creation screen exist? if so, how is it obtained? I can only find the version with a cloth facemask and fewer top-of-the-head attachments

[strong gulch]

Haven't tried chainsword, but Deimos is pretty versatile. Great single target with all of the force sword perks. It can handle hordes fine, but it does well against armored and beefy targets.

Mk 4 dueling sword has been buffed throught the roof. Not as strong pushes as Deimos, but simpler to use.

[north cradle]

I think the Psyker face veil comes from the "aggregate challenge"

The one where you complete a bunch of challenges to unlock

[unique mist]

pretty sure its a premium store item

[elder tartan]

the items pictured on the right here are from the 2nd and 3rd tier of those challenges whereas I cannot find any suggestion that the one without a mask exists anywhere, premium store or otherwise

[north cradle]

Ah okay

[unique mist]

it is a premium store item

[strong gulch]

If it does, I don't have it and haven't seen it.

I guess mouth cover only.

[elder tartan]

is there a way to see/browse/etc premium store items that aren't in the current rotation?

[unique mist]

not unless you go through old reddit posts

[elder tartan]

thank you king

[glossy hazel]

Those are the alternative "career" gear for the characters. Which should ||hopefully|| be released with yet another penance rework since we have three "classes" per character.

[atomic zephyr]

Is devastating strike useful?

[glossy hazel]

Compared to wrath/savage sweep, no not really.

[unique mist]

sorry man i went through old posts and couldn't find it so i think i was wrong and it's just not in yet idk

[brave fiber]

thoughts on this surge staff?

[keen harbor]

it's perfect

well, change out the perks, obviously

[brave fiber]

should i just roll crit dmg and chance for the perks

yeah

[agile acorn]

nice find

[keen harbor]

I don't remember what you want on surge

[gilded viper]

Alright Voidstrike enthusiasts, what should I do here

I finally got Surge so I think ima replace Transfer

[brave fiber]

transfer peril is really good on voidstrike imo, id keep it

if anything change the perks

[gilded viper]

So what replace flurry with Surge?

[elder tartan]

Thank you again for reclarifying then, I'm hopeful that a penance rework comes soon, but I know enough about this game not to ask for when it's coming, haha

[unique mist]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/14ragoz/a_quick_highlight_of_every_psyker_cosmetic_that/?share_id=WzkUzH8wXirw5DOlSakMm&utm_name=androidcss

it's in the unreleased cosmetics

[brave fiber]

up to you, kinda depends what you want out of the staff, all three of those options are really good

[gilded viper]

Yah I just don't use void a lot, but I hear a lot of hype for Surge on a crit build

[brave fiber]

id say try out the staff as it is rn, and see if you like it, then decide if you want surge on it

if you do end up changing id recommend getting rid of transfer peril

[plucky flax]

There are 2 different builds. Warp nexus surge, or transfer peril warp flurry. If you want to play surge then swap both blessings.

[gilded viper]

I mean if I got 1 of the builds then i might as well stick with what I got and fix the perks up

[eager token]

would yall buy this from melk i have tier 4 warp flurry already

[potent echo]

I would but I also have 40k melkbucks

[regal musk]

The woirst part about tryiong Veteren after playing Psyker for 99% of my playtime .. is that super annoying weapon inspection everytime you pull the gun out >_<

[potent echo]

It's to nerf vets even more

[regal musk]

I dont have nearly that many, But melk only offers me trash so ive never bbought from him lol

[regal musk]

Im happy Vets got knocked down a peg tbh. MInes only level 10 tho so i havent exactly got much of anything for it XD

[potent echo]

Vets need a break this patch wasn't very nice to them

[regal musk]

Vets deserve it. Lost count of how many times my BB got sniped back during the early days of launch lol

[potent echo]

Don't let them see that

[snow yarrow]

What is the threshold to reach 20% extra damage for peril on this?

How much peril do you have to have to achieve 20% extra?

[potent echo]

Not too sure but I think it's 80

That's the same threshold as venting shriek to apply max soulblaze

Not sure if warp rider uses the same thresholds

[spice veldt]

i assume that it works like old warp unleashed but from 0% to 20%

[potent echo]

Haven't really tested because there isn't any interesting breakpoints I can find

At max stacks

[spice veldt]

i've been having my fun with assail so far to not have to worry about bps

[acoustic osprey]

big difference between unarmored and flak on purgatus?

[potent echo]

Yea

Flak is the majority of elites

[acoustic osprey]

what are elites?

[potent echo]

Scab rager, mauler, shotgunners, gunners

Those are flak elites

Other elites include bulwark, reaper and crusher

And dreg rager

[snow yarrow]

Thx

[unique mist]

so it doesn't seem to have any breakpoints/thresholds and is instead a completely linear function of peril

i.e. +20% at 100% peril, 18% at 80% etc.

[spice veldt]

WHAT

[unique mist]

kek

[spice veldt]

it's an always active +10% damage?

FATSHARK

[terse saffron]

which duelling sword has the best single target dps? do they all require a scrier's gaze build?

[unique mist]

mk4 i think

[unique mist]

i'm now imagining you finding out some stupid IRL mechanic and just screaming at the top of your lungs aimed at the sky "GOD"

[wicked sedge]

saw two fresh vets decide to blast their plasma gun into the daemon host. proceed to get eaten

[spice veldt]

mk4 has the best heavies among them by a noticeable amount

[unique mist]

listen

[spice veldt]

you don't need scrier's gaze, and I'd avoid it tbh; You can work with it, but I usually just take the shield if you're going down from the right side

[unique mist]

when the imperium tells you to purge heretics

they dont allow you to pick and choose, OK?

if you see a heretic in front of you, you gotta kill it

[wicked sedge]

but they so scary and icky

[unique mist]

they were just fulfilling their duty to the imperium

and paid the price for it

a tale that's about 40k years old

[wicked sedge]

alright I'll attack the next daemon host I see

[near wyvern]

This is why I never assume things work they say they do but test it myself.

[summer prairie]

It's just the old Psykinetic's Wrath

[near wyvern]

With a bit of a nerf

[spice veldt]

i genuinely did not think that they would keep the +10% as the lower boundary

[terse saffron]

im left side + shield and i hate using scrier's gaze thats why i asked

thanks!

[cyan notch]

i had to think for a bit then i realised it was warp unleashed

[near wyvern]

Scrier's gaze is a bit underwhelming

IMO it generates peril too fast

[summer prairie]

honestly forgot what they renamed it to

[near wyvern]

Warp Unleashed

[terse saffron]

the shittiest part of it is that you cant turn it off

would've been a lot more useful otherwise

[near wyvern]

And now it's Warp Rider

[cyan notch]

psykinetic’s unleashed rider

[near wyvern]

Psykinetic's unleashed edge lord rider

[near wyvern]

Yeah a toggle would be cool TBH, then it wouldn't matter if the peril gen was high

[spice veldt]

no power off button 😔

[near wyvern]

Like give it 15 second base cooldown and allow the user to toggle it off, then we would be getting somewhere

Could actually use the toughness and movement speed boosts on that

Instead of 'oh horde, time to go bayblade'

[summer prairie]

One of the abilities, either DD or Scrier's gaze, was at some point the Psychic Fortress and it, among other things, gave Assail 10 cleave

[rugged fiber]

Assail

[summer prairie]

It had a duration though

[sly forge]

Can I crit with surge staff or with the assail knives?

[fierce crest]

Yes and yes

[sly forge]

nice,thank you

and does the surge kill counts as warp attack kill?

[unique mist]

yes

[plucky flax]

Yes surge is op.

[unique mist]

surge is not op

[plucky flax]

[unique mist]

voidstrike is

surge aint

[plucky flax]

Surge is very stronk.

[rugged fiber]

Surge is good/okay

[unique mist]

unless you are talking about the blessing

[plucky flax]

[unique mist]

with max quell speed staff and the 30% quell speed node i was able to quell through scriers peril regen for about 45 seconds

[plucky flax]

Nein the staff.

I got like 900k damage yesterday playing surge staff.

[sly forge]

no im talking about the ligtning staff,i thinnk thats the surge one

[rugged fiber]

yes

[unique mist]

i know that you are talking about the staff

and it is not OP because it can't deal with big guys well and cannot hit weakspots

[sly forge]

well i like it 😛

[unique mist]

thats fine

it's a fun staff

[sly forge]

so I just hit lv30,should I buy new items from the shop and pump them to purple?

[unique mist]

only if they are 370+

[bleak tulip]

thats an oversimplification

there is plenty of weapons with bad enough dump stats that theyre great without being 370

[unique mist]

if they are fresh lvl 30 they wouldn't know about dump stats and stat distribution yet

but at fresh lvl 30 they need tier 4 blessings

370+ have good chances at t4 blessings

and overall they will have good/okay stats to use before they get good enough blessings

[rugged fiber]

360+ base stats is considered good

370+ is excellent

[sly forge]

Well if I craft a weapon at Brunt's armory its 340 white

[rugged fiber]

It's random

[sly forge]

so i keep crafting until i get a 370?

[unique mist]

yeah dont roll for weapons at brunt unless you have over 100k dockets

[sly forge]

i have 300k

gold

[unique mist]

instead you should wait for him to sell good statted weapons in his hourly rotation

[rugged fiber]

Well you can do it then, but be sure it's the weapon ye want

[rugged fiber]

but this is the most viable way

[unique mist]

grab whatever you can over the week/weeks

even if you arent going to use it

there isn't a limit to how many items you can have in your inventory i dont think

[rugged fiber]

The number of weapons with 370+ rating that I have that I don't use

[primal aurora]

there are weapons with dump stats, so 350-360 might be good if you get big numbers in relevant stats

[sly forge]

hm ,im not sure he has some guns but i mainly use staff

[unique mist]

staffs are the most painful to get blessings for

[sly forge]

i got one autogun 419

[unique mist]

thats not base rating

[sly forge]

its blue

[unique mist]

that is overall rating

we are talking about base rating

[obtuse walrus]

[unique mist]

this is base rating

[obtuse walrus]

If it kills, it good

[unique mist]

its highest is 380

[sly forge]

ah i see

well then he got nothing for now

[unique mist]

anyway, your method is fine for now

pick up something 360+

so you dont spend too many dockets

and that doesn't have low stat in one of the main stats, like damage or charge rate

[old flame]

What’s the special attack for dueling swords? It staggers?

[unique mist]

it's a quick thrust that hits one target and staggers

low damage

[sly forge]

i got one 366

[fading heath]

whats is the dump stat for voidstrike?

[unique mist]

depends on what you like

some say warp resistance, some say quell speed, blast radius is also a candidate

blast radius is stagger radius so i wouldnt dump that

i like warp resistance for horde clear

so maybe go quell speed

[hollow cargo]

is there a list for best blessings for force swords n stuff

[fading heath]

yeah probably quell then thanks

[sly forge]

I got run and gun on my staff,amazing

[obtuse walrus]

Warp resistance prevents how quickly you build peril right?

[unique mist]

ye

[obtuse walrus]

Yeah, I'd prefer that over quell speed. Since quell speed is already super fast

[spice veldt]

the main use case of the duelling sword's special will be for ragers https://streamable.com/ne9i5s

[plucky flax]

Rare 3 gamepass players lobby.

[rugged fiber]

indeed

[spice veldt]

you can inflict a medium stagger to crushers with a special-headshot, and you can guardbreak bulwarks with a special-headshot, though I usually have some anti-crusher/bulwark on my ranged slot
you can also style on mutants by special-headshotting them and staggering them mid-charge

[zealous sierra]

What dueling sword is that

[spice veldt]

mk4; it has the best heavies among them so far by a significant amount

[zealous sierra]

What blessing and perks do i need

Stats too

My illisi is doing sad

[spice veldt]

for blessings, Uncanny Strike + your pick of Riposte/Shred/Precognition

I prefer Riposte in general, and Precognition for melee/monstrosity maelstrom

[unique mist]

To all those who say voidstrike isn't good for horde clear, I present another instalment in my world famous series: "The Most Engaging Gameplay You've Ever Seen"
https://imgur.com/a/fSfvW1l
https://imgur.com/a/Bz6S4mS
https://imgur.com/a/6gak57V

[spice veldt]

for stats, Damage and Finesse are really all you care about

• Cleave Damage only scales Unarmoured and Infested (it doesn't scale Flak because it's bugged)
• Penetration only scales Carapace (it doesn't scale Flak because it's bugged). With max Uncanny Strike stacks up, an 80% Penetration MK4 DS will only deal 1.068x more damage to Carapace than a 0% Penetration DS

[unique mist]

Solo horde clear: the staff

All clips on damnation

(I think)

[old flame]

Does it work for maulers and armored ragers to?

[spice veldt]

ye

I usually just heavy maulers

since ragers especially encroach on your space and are not as easy to poke at while staying at a distance

[raw solar]

Ragers extra mean fr

[old flame]

Normally I quick tap them with a revolver if I can

Switching in mid melee to shot something is so satisfying

[plucky flax]

Sry I prefer to horde clear with assail.

You have to aim with voidstrike that's too hard.

[spice veldt]

true

[spice veldt]

For perks, you can pick among +Carapace/+Crit Chance/+Maniac/+Unyielding. For the below results, assume that you have Warp Rider taken (which gives +10% damage at 0% peril).

• +Carapace ensures a deterministic two-shot weakspot on Maulers with max Uncanny Strike stacks. If you have a nearly perfect 80/80/80 dmg/finesse/pen Duelling Sword (or you have a little bit of peril for Warp Rider), then a weakspot & critical weakspot will two-shot a Crusher with max Uncanny Strike stacks.
• +Crit Chance helps with some one-shot breakpoints and the aforementioned Crusher two-shot. It is admittedly a small bonus, but it is generally applying.
• +Maniac helps with reaching a Mutant one-shot with at least 2 Uncanny Strike stacks (or with a crit).
• +Unyielding is for boss DPS and the like

[kindred anchor]

Sounds fake

[spice veldt]

who let you here

get out

[terse saffron]

wtf

[kindred anchor]

I accidently press psyker chatting

[terse saffron]

this duelling sword too sexy or what

so anyway is shred any good on this

[fierce crest]

do not post ogryn twerking gif

[spice veldt]

yeah, I like Shred

though I personally rate Riposte = Precognition > Shred

well it depends

hmmmmmm

well point is that shred is nice

seems like a pretty good mk4 duelling sword

[terse saffron]

shred+...?

[spice veldt]

Uncanny Strike

[terse saffron]

i wanted to run a placeholder uncanny strike until i get something nice

oh ok

[spice veldt]

iz the best blessing for duelling swords

[terse saffron]

and the perks? maniac+flak?

[spice veldt]

i'd prob go +carapace

or +unyielding

[terse saffron]

is it good enough against monstros to use +UY?

[spice veldt]

you could go for flak if you want to dab on scab ragers, but I find that to be mostly unnecessary

it kills a plogryn in 40-50 seconds w/o Unyielding

[terse saffron]

not really no

[spice veldt]

depending on what your ranged weapon is

[terse saffron]

voidstrike

covers everything but monstrosities and mutants

[spice veldt]

mk4 DS is alright against bosses I suppose

nothing like what zealots/ogryns have currently, but I do think that the DS has an edge

well

I haven't measured the vstrike

[lofty storm]

is there a reason to use assail if i have a well rolled voidstrike? i find myself not using it much

i feel like smite adds more to the kit

[spice veldt]

prob grab +carapace unless you're running monstrosity maelstrom I suppose

[spice veldt]

prolly not except for ranged patrols

[terse saffron]

smite doesnt stagger mutants(?)

[spice veldt]

it staggers mutants

[lofty storm]

yeah that's what i was thinking

everyone says it really op, but i find in auric runs i don't have enough room to use assail, especially on mixed hordes etc

[terse saffron]

voidstrike staff creates just enough space for others to spam assail lol

[spice veldt]

assail is actionable 0.19s after swapping to it, so prob just a keybind issue

but if it's not working for you, then feel free to go for smite

[lofty storm]

but it's pretty inconsistent compared to just punching a hole through a horde

especially really close range

smite is still bad for general use, may as well kill things, but is nice in a pinch, an ally getting caught offguard by several elites you can't kill before they get blown up etc

[near wyvern]

Holy shit this is a gem:

https://reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/t8repJpIJu

[plucky flax]

That's me I'm the assail spammer.

[plucky flax]

Interesting I use assail way more than voidstrike if I bring a loadout with both.

[lofty storm]

it's situational, if the horde isn't on me then assail is the way

[plucky flax]

I back dodge and spam assail.

[spice veldt]

i don't run vstrike but that looks gr8

(I'm a quelling speed enjoyer tho so)

[lofty storm]

coming from vermintide, always positioned against a wall to prevent flanks, so doesn't work as good for me compared to voidstrike

[spice veldt]

TRUST IN AMERICA AND GOD https://streamable.com/bkuwye

[plucky flax]

It's like the video.

[zealous sierra]

Can't decide what perk

[plucky flax]

Crushers? Assail. Bulwarks? Assail.

Anything? Just left click with assail.

[zealous sierra]

Look at the hp...

[spice veldt]

and trust in +15% toughness per warp kill

[spice veldt]

no don't look at it just ignore it

[lunar hollow]

this is the worst video ive ever watched

[zealous sierra]

Impractical

Bad

Positioning

[spice veldt]

i made it in response to a comment about not being able to use assail while being surrounded

so i made a video about that

[zealous sierra]

If they are surrounded

They should've had their back against a wall

[spice veldt]

true

[plucky flax]

Definitely showed why you're not top 1%.

[spice veldt]

i cri

[spice veldt]

i also definitely don't kite into corners and die to crushers (with trauma btw)

[plucky flax]

It's okay assail needs a lot of skills and finesse to use.

[spice veldt]

TRUE TRUE

[plucky flax]

Frensheep ended with vet autopistol/bolter. Assail is my new best fren.

[zealous sierra]

U know vstrike?

I dunno if I wanna lock my blessings

[plucky flax]

Yeah I know everything.

I'm probably top 0.5% psyker.

I trust you two more than half the new pskyers on here

Quote on Quote, Psyker Expert

[spice veldt]

i killed 3 men

[plucky flax]

Well what do you want to do with it? THere are 2 voidstrike builds.

Warp nexus + surge or warp flurry + transfer peril.

[zealous sierra]

Surge

funni

[plucky flax]

Then slap nexus over flurry and crit chance over weak spot damage.

Also pick true aim talent.

GG it's voidstrike spamming time.

You already 1 shot crusher with surge proc though so unyielding/maniac would have been better 2nd perk but honestly you only need crit chance for surge voidstrike.

[nimble adder]

Hey guys is there a blessing that allows me to block bullets and melee?

[lofty storm]

i said i always position at chokepoints or against a wall, hencewhy i prefer void strike when horde is on me, as i try to not get surrounded in the first place

[zealous sierra]

Deflector

On the force swords

[plucky flax]

Damn that's op what a blessing.

Can't believe FS buffed it.

[lofty storm]

what's the bar above stamina? assail ammo recov?

[plucky flax]

[lofty storm]

i need to redo my UI, it all reset today for some reason

all my mod settings

[nimble adder]

Deflector huh thanks for telling me

Guess I’ll need to experiment with the psyker

To find the perfect build

[spice veldt]

the angle brackets represent my dodge count, and the white line that decrements is the dodge cooldown

[plucky flax]

Worst ui I've ever seen.

[spice veldt]

my assail ammo count is the number above the blue diamond

[spice veldt]

you're

worst person

[plucky flax]

tru

[spice veldt]

50% toughness DR during dodges babeeeeeeee

[lofty storm]

oh really it is dodge cooldown? that's what i initially thought before assail

actually yeah i see what you mean

how do you get that dodge count setup? all i had was the standard 5/5 etc

[spice veldt]

i made my own modifications to numericUI

but they're kind of jank modifications

[lofty storm]

i didn't know that was a setting to show the dodge cooldown on numericUI, just dodge count

[spice veldt]

o yeah that's a modification of my own as well

[lofty storm]

is that just within the mod settings ingame?

[spice veldt]

oh wait

the debug

the debug setting shows the cooldown as a number, but there's all of this other info that I deleted

[lofty storm]

ahhh, i didn't mess with debug

welp, time for me to start again, ive been back to default ui after my mod settings got deleted today, time to spend an hour + redoing it all

[spice veldt]

:pensive:

i had some other UI stuff, but there's something with HudTweaker that makes your toughness bar flash so I had to disable it for the moment

what my old UI looked like

[plucky flax]

Uuh that's a veteran why you do here in my psyker channel.

[spice veldt]

no that's a peril indicator

it's blue

it's a number to the bottom-right of my crosshair

what else could it be but peril

[plucky flax]

Big thonk

[sonic coral]

alrright what do I do to fix this sword

[plucky flax]

Personally I'd upgrade uncanny to 4 and change unarmoured to maniac.

[cyan notch]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

[spice veldt]

you have no rights

[summer prairie]

how much effort does it take to make the UI like that

[sonic coral]

turns out I don't have uncanny 4

I assume that ruins breakpoints of some kind reading back

[plucky flax]

It only means your subsequent attacks will be a tad bit weaker. Shouldn't change any break point.

[sonic coral]

and naturally I can't upgrade that when I get it at some point, AND add +carapace

I guess I'm alright with that. They swing pretty fast right? so

I guess my next question is I have no idea how to build around it

[spice veldt]

a fair bit of hours to see how things look and just hanging around in the psykhanium

[full bane]

Made this in like 30 seconds, what do y’all think

[dawn orchid]

Warp charges, EP, or disrupt destiny for assail/voidstrike?

And a crit build on the voidstrike with surge

[plucky flax]

It's a single target specialists killing weapon. I pair it with a horde clearing staff myself.

[spice veldt]

i'm too embarassed to give an estimate on the hours i've spent on my UI

so I shall refrain

[oak herald]

Hello psykers

[oak herald]

This comes from the veteran chat just for you

https://youtu.be/bOOh10U7MnQ?t=8

[sonic coral]

this is what I've done currently

[summer prairie]

Do any of the UI mods let you pull in information that the game typically doesn't show, like crit chance of whatever

[plucky flax]

Not taking combustion.

[spice veldt]

there was InventoryStats which displayed stats like toughness regen delay/speed and crit chance (also factors in your held weapon), but it seems to be crashing people currently

[summer prairie]

Though overall crit chance probably isn't even a thing unless you add everything up yourself

[summer prairie]

it just does a+b+c+d when you attack

[sonic coral]

I guess combustion would make sense, I guess I just always thought soul burn was weak shit

[spice veldt]

hmm so no simple summary stat for it

except on the modder's part

[plucky flax]

Watch the kill feed xd. Combination of combustion, wildfire and ascendant blaze
https://youtu.be/9e0oBfL4nqo?t=5m12s

[sonic coral]

guess I'll give combustion a go

[sly forge]

can you use mods online?

[spice veldt]

perilous combustion is easily one of the best talents

extremely cheap (2 nodes, and on the same route as Soulstealer lamayo)

[sonic coral]

I'm comfortable giving up empathetic evasion which honestly seems shit

otherwise does that build seem reasonable?

[spice veldt]

yeah if you're not running crit stuff then empathic evasion is whatevs

[plucky flax]

I wouldn't run the toughness on warp generation.

[still hearth]

Most of them, yes.

[plucky flax]

It seems a lot weaker than souls teaser and quietude.

[spice veldt]

and doesn't work with kinetic deflection (not that you're running it)

[plucky flax]

Warp absorption is soul stealer? I can't remember these new talents.

Bb > br.

[spice veldt]

tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

[sonic coral]

I have basically all of the peril recovery stuff selected up top

[still hearth]

Idk why they renamed talents

[sonic coral]

figured take them all if peril's gonna be going up and down all the time

idk

lol

[plucky flax]

It's okay wildfire is still safe.

[spice veldt]

the warp was absorbed

[still hearth]

Agent pls

[plucky flax]

[near wyvern]

AHH a fellow surge smite flame stacker. I hope we get blazing spirit for surge.

[plucky flax]

Normally I played unlimited power meme but yesterday I played this meme. Turned out teammates were super sus and it was hard work that round. 900k damage dealt at the end.

[sonic coral]

so with a sword, should I try to make it over into the disrupt destiny tree at the bottom?

[spice veldt]

disrupt destiny is the path to frustration over losing all of your stacks

[sonic coral]

ah alright

[spice veldt]

there's a bug where marked enemies do not glow for whatever reason

which defeats the whole point of the keystone

[near wyvern]

Infinite smite is not doing that much damage. I stack Warp Siphon, Smite and Soulblaze talents and there is no need for infinite, all will be dead by the time I hit 100% peril after creeping flames. And those that are still standing get zapped by surge.

[plucky flax]

But it's funny meme.

Anyway people said new surge is bad.

[near wyvern]

Doing little bit forever is weaker than doing quite a lot for just enough time.

[plucky flax]

[sonic coral]

I guess in that case I'll keep the tree I posted above and just change empathetic evasion for perilous combustion at the end of the day

[near wyvern]

It's not bad it's just that void is overtuned

[sonic coral]

just trying to do something different I guess, the main builds I seem to have work properly are basically emulating the ones I've already played pre-update lol

[plucky flax]

Surge is op actually. Hope they won't nerf.

The new charge rate is veri kool

[oak herald]

Greetings Psykers.

[near wyvern]

I wouldn't say OP but it's the sort of I choose you to die staff

Can only target a couple but they will be dead in a couple of seconds

[summer prairie]

It's probably going to feel bad if you don't run it with creeping flames

[plucky flax]

Not as op as blaze trauma yes.

Still pretty op.

[near wyvern]

Surge? Nah, devil's claw can cover up for the flaws if you don't want to run creeping flames.

But you shouldn't go smite with surge unless you go creeping flames

[rugged fiber]

Or illisi

[near wyvern]

Yeah Illisi is fine too, devils claw is just

[sonic coral]

alright I'm gonna get rid of the critical nodes, then maybe run trauma instead of surge

[summer prairie]

I don't remember what using a melee weapon as a psyker is like

I kind of want to do a BB + creeping flames only run

[near wyvern]

Yeah this patch did not really bring melee psyker builds. I have tried to create "melee main" builds but they just don't work as effectively as other options in that same loadout

Mostly because there are no specific melee related talents

[near wyvern]

BB sucks ass tho

[summer prairie]

For the most part yes, but the point is to see how much creeping flames can carry

[near wyvern]

Only useful for getting those gunners and snipers across the room

The problem is, you want to go into warp siphon to get the max out of creeping flames and it's extremely frustrating to try get stacks with BB

[summer prairie]

I don't care about stacks except for the cooldown benefit

[near wyvern]

That's what I am talking about

[summer prairie]

my allies get me stacks, but it's ok if I don't have them either

[near wyvern]

Miss a creeping flames and it's a pain to come back with BB, your best chance is to just wait it out and ult again better next time

Might as well just run around rather than try to BB

[summer prairie]

cooldown is only 21s even without any stacks

[near wyvern]

Assail would pair so much better with the setup but using Assail ATM is a bit cringe

[summer prairie]

well yeah I stopped using assail because it ruins the fun for everyone else

void+creeping flames is nearly same damage anyway

[dense bramble]

Is surge good for voidstrike?

[exotic tulip]

Can any of the psykers blitzes crit?

[dense bramble]

the blessing says double shot but is that a full charged shot or just the left click

[lyric prism]

Imo, empowered psionics should:

Brain bust
50% Peril reduction (from 100%)
Brainburst spreads to 4 other elites or specials withing 10m (from 50% cast time)
100% more damage (from 50%)

Smite
50% more damage (from 30%)
50% peril reduction (smite bug fixed)
50% faster spread (from 25%)

Assail
Unchanged

[near wyvern]

BiS

[dense bramble]

BiS?

[exotic tulip]

That mean the crit chance blessing too

[brisk agate]

best in slot

[dense bramble]

the blessing

[rugged fiber]

Best in slot

[viscid matrix]

Surge blessing is why Void can 1shot crushers

[dense bramble]

Oh okay Ive got it with l4 warp flurry
Should I switch out either?

I want the headshot quell blessing

[exotic tulip]

Does double the charged attack?

[viscid matrix]

swap flurry for warp nexus so you crit more

[viscid matrix]

yep, you can do 3500 base damage on a crit headshot to a crusher with void

[near wyvern]

@dense bramble you go warp flurry + Surge, take Battle Mediation from the top passives, take True Aim from bottom right, go into Warp Siphon path with Inner Tranquility and Warp Battery.

As long as there are a lot of heads to shoot you will do back to back double casts and quell more than what you generate.

[dense bramble]

Okay thanks bro I need to get nexus for void staff

[exotic tulip]

Again do any blitzes crit?

[viscid matrix]

assail and surge can crit, not sure about BB

[dense bramble]

Thanks boys

[exotic tulip]

how does surge crit, whole duration or just randomly

[near wyvern]

And also @dense bramble void staggers all monstrosities on weakspot hits so you can also perma stagger and bully a monstrosities if your aim is good.

Void is way overtuned at the moment so expect nerfs on next patch.

[near wyvern]

I don't think smite can crit

[exotic tulip]

Same, haven't seen it but maybe if you build up a lot of crit, never had a crit bonus feat activate

[dense bramble]

Bro I was literally gonna swap it out for the quell blessing without earning the surge

[viscid matrix]

im fairly sure i saw it crit in the psycanium, but i might be wrong

[still hearth]

Assail

[near wyvern]

During my extensive damage testing for smite not once I saw a crit so unless someone clips a smite that crits I don't believe it can

[still hearth]

All Psyker blitzes should be able to crit

Yes, even Brain RAPTURE

[near wyvern]

Brain Failure

[cold geode]

my god lightening fucks so hard now

[still hearth]

Depends on which lightning

[cold geode]

staff

[rugged fiber]

lmao

[still hearth]

Yeah it fucks

But then Voidstrike walks in

With like 10 bitches at once

[viscid matrix]

yeh its base damage is almost on par with void, except void cleaves and pierces

[rugged fiber]

there really are 2 categories about surge:

• the ones that say it's fricking trash
• the ones that say it's really good and better than before

[cold geode]

its way way better than before, if you can manage the peril

[viscid matrix]

its good, except it cant hit weakspots and its single target

Void should lose about 30% damage so its more balanced

[rugged fiber]

tis mostly single targets

[cold geode]

i was able to pull out 400k+ damage on my last run with it

[plucky flax]

It's tru Surge veri strong

[still hearth]

Void should lose its fucking 12 hitmass cleave

[viscid matrix]

based on the base damage, it might as well be single target
the secondary target takes like 1/4 of the damage

[lofty temple]

wtf? you can chain EP BBs indefinitely

[spice veldt]

oh right, void has 12 cleave instead of the listed 10 lamayo

[lofty temple]

I just cleared out an entire room of dreg gunners

[plucky flax]

Bb is op?

[still hearth]

Did your Vet go afk or?

[whole oxide]

as long as there are elites, EP BR is pretty good

[lofty temple]

They were busy with a boss

[still hearth]

Tbh BR isn't bad at what it does but I just hate the way its used

[lofty temple]

I fell down into the court room

in the sewer assassination mission

[still hearth]

And I don't find much time to use it because melee enemies will come hit me from behind

[plucky flax]

That's when you smitr

Smite

[lofty temple]

I'm kind of pissed BB has negative synergy with Warp Charges now

[viscid matrix]

how so?

[lofty temple]

You use your ult to gain this buff

And lose all your extra damage from warp charges

[viscid matrix]

ahh, yep that part is annoying

[still hearth]

Yeah but then you get more warp charges

[viscid matrix]

forgot about that node, since i dont use it

its not actually 75%

[still hearth]

Well keep in mind it's +75% faster charge

Not -75% charge time

Though it might still not be right

[wispy iris]

heya does assail benefit from weapon perks and blessings?

[viscid matrix]

yes, i think its only if you swap to the weapon after throwing out a shard

[wispy iris]

oof

fair tho

[obtuse moth]

except hand-cannon for some reason lol

[wispy iris]

yea I thought it was for all oop

[obtuse moth]

its a bug

[wispy iris]

fair

does assail fall off then?

since staves get perks and blessings

[lyric prism]

imo, smite and brain rupture should be allowed to crit

[obtuse moth]

you can play damnation using just assail

only things its not good at is carapace and montrositey

[wispy iris]

yea im doing that rn

I just crafted a new void staff thinking assail would benefit from it

[wispy iris]

yea I managed to get a staff with +dmg against carapace

[thin finch]

No crit smite isbokay since it's mostly a CC weapon.
I think having a better aoe for EP would be a better addition than +50% damage

Altough to trigger crit perk ,yeah

[analog solstice]

does soulstealer (replenish 15% toughness on warp attack kill) include staff kills like the surge staff for example?

[thin finch]

YES

[analog solstice]

alright, thx
