psyker-class

[thin finch]

Anything that generate peril itbworks

I should try to see if it's work when scrier's gaze is on for regular weapon ?

[obtuse walrus]

I wish I could remove the Face Mask from the VR Headset or whatever the fuck it's called

I want my Magestic beard to be shown to the world

[lyric prism]

It hampers the experimentability that they claim psyker to have tho

[red idol]

guys I've yet to see psyker doing good damage against monstrosities, do you have any suggestion, builds about that?

[lyric prism]

Brain burst and smite not critingn legit makes assail the only crit option which is super restrictive

[lofty temple]

Brain Rupture

[lyric prism]

Badically if you either go right blitz, ability or keystone, you have to go all the way cause the right tree harmonizes with almost nothing

Assail does well with warp stack or ep ofc

But thats really it

[spice veldt]

though brain rupture is fairly peepee poopoo DPS, only having an edge in being able to hit a boss at all times

psyker doesn't have any boss DPS on the level of zealot/ogryn, but you can make do with a Vraks 3 headhunter for your ranged option or some single-target option like the mk4 ds

[lyric prism]

Ogryn has boss dos?

[spice veldt]

gunlugger

[lyric prism]

I use the ach stubber

So my boss dmg is meh

[spice veldt]

https://streamable.com/8m5o4g

[lyric prism]

Dmg isnt bad but still pales imo to zealot and vet

[spice veldt]

oh right

kraks

[lyric prism]

Hellbore

My hellbore build fucking demolished monstosities if my team is properly kiting it

Can oneshot a damnation crusher with that build

[obtuse moth]

bleed daggre vs mk4 ds?

[gleaming hornet]

Milky is offering a tough choice. Right is my current toothpick, which has served me well but has doodoo penetration, which the left one fixes, at the cost of a rank loss in Riposte. Not sure what to pursue here

[terse saffron]

is precognition 4 bonus better than crit procs on duelling?

[spice veldt]

crab doesn't have much good to say about bleed knife #veteran-class message

I'd bring a precog DS to melee/monstrosity maelstrom, but the 2 second duration can be pretty limiting

I prefer riposte otherwise

though I'm starting to warm up on precog more

i'll have to bring it more to get a better feel for it

[gleaming hornet]

The DS is really just my backup weapon, so I whip it out during high tensions situations where I'm getting swarmed, and Precog does work for me there

Since I'm dodging anyway, and really want to pop dudes quickly

[spice veldt]

and giving you a deterministic two-shot on crushers (with +carapace, max uncanny strike stacks, and warp rider)

[terse saffron]

isnt it like almost 100% uptime when you're 1o1 with monstros?

[spice veldt]

yeah with the chaos spawn and plogryn

[terse saffron]

i forgot slug exists

damn

[gleaming hornet]

It also works with Empathic Evasion during messy situations

[spice veldt]

yeah the slug is the one situation where i'd consider shred

but also bubble

[terse saffron]

no way such a shit roll cost 1.5m dockets

[lofty temple]

shit?

[terse saffron]

that was the original one

it ALMOST oneshots mutants without blessings

[lofty temple]

Here's mine

[terse saffron]

i just wanted something to poke maniacs with

[still hearth]

Bubble vs bon is so hilarious

Literally remove all of the scary parts

[plucky flax]

I'd use this one over the new one tbh.

[sonic coral]

ok so get this

do the entire right side of the tree basically

saber

laspistol

it's actually fucking incredible

you play like you're on space cocaine

[summer prairie]

and then you are out of ammo in 10 seconds

[sonic coral]

did not have that issue

didn't have to pick up ammo more than once

space cowboy

at least on damnation it wasn't a problem

most of the time you're not using it anyway though, you're running in like a suicidal ferret, sort of like a zealot but way less insufferable

[viscid matrix]

Ammo isn’t as much of an issue if you are using Laspistol, revolver, Kantreal xii, vrak iii
Since they are all pretty ammo efficient

[sonic coral]

yea laspistol seems to have a desent reservoir, never really used it extensively until now

I've definitely had issues with the revolver but I think they've been buffed since then

I went with assail because it felt thematic to have throwing knives but I only used them once

in 3 matches

[plucky flax]

Assail spammer spotted

[sonic coral]

making me curious to try zealot since they have actual knives now

prior to the update could not stand playing zealot whatsoever

the update did not unfortunately change how much I dislike the way zealot players play though

[wispy iris]

heya is this a good enough staff?

or is it worth changing the blessings ?

[sonic coral]

I'm too lazy or incompetent to hit weak spot with staves so that's up to you I guess

[viscid matrix]

Blessings are meh, you can swap terrifying for warp flurry

Or swap both blessings and get Surge and Warp Nexus

[sonic coral]

terrifying barrage was ok before, not great, hopefully it's better now

[viscid matrix]

I got a second decent void recently and made a flurry transfer, and it’s actually a more balanced version of the staff

[wispy iris]

got it

[viscid matrix]

Instead of the overtuned version with nexus/surge

Which can 1shot anything that’s not a monstrosity on a crit weakspot

[wispy iris]

lvl 3 good enough?

[viscid matrix]

Yeh
Just practice sitting between 80% and 100% peril via tapping quell after every secondary to take advantage of it

[wispy iris]

gotcha

thanks

[viscid matrix]

Edging your peril during combat is the goal for max uptime on every peril buff

[carmine ibex]

does anyone know how to do the blessed by fate penance?

[wispy iris]

i love the way you worded it

[viscid matrix]

Which one is that, can’t remember of top of my head

[carmine ibex]

save yourself from peril 50 times

[viscid matrix]

Ohh, easy, get to 100% start to explode and use venting shriek during that animation

Venting shriek dumps 50% peril

[carmine ibex]

Hmm, i haven't been allowed to use any skills while exploding.. I guess i'll try again?

[viscid matrix]

Venting shriek and the 0 level version of the skill is the only skill you can use during that animation

[wispy iris]

I am out of mats and no surge 💀

[carmine ibex]

Will give it a shot and update

[viscid matrix]

Unlucky, best way to do it is buy void staves, upgrade to orange then sacrifice/barter until you get it
Costs about 1500 platsteel per weapon

[wispy iris]

all the way to orange?

over just going to blue

[viscid matrix]

Yeh, going from purple to orange is more likely to give rare blessings

You can do it via blues only, but it’s rarer

[wispy iris]

ah right

[viscid matrix]

Best bet, reach 100% use somthing to push you into explode animation, then instantly use vent

[fair zephyr]

What does that do?

Oh the challenge

[viscid matrix]

You can practice it in the psykanium meatgrinder
It’s near hadron thru a doorway if you look away from mission terminal

[carmine ibex]

It worked in there, not sure what i was doing wrong before. I'll try it in mission and see if it works and counts toward the penance. ty

[raw tapir]

Does anyone know how to do the 300s penance? I've tried it but I'm not even getting warp charges displayed in the bottom left

[viscid matrix]

If you are not using soulblaze, get the 4% warp charges from allies node

Don’t use your ability, it dumps all warp charges to reduce its cool-down

Gotta get max and maintain it, so you have to kill a specialist/elite every 25 seconds once you have all the charges

[unique mist]

is both wrath (+35% or so cleave on hit, stacks 5 times) and savage sweep (hit 3 enemies with attack, get 200% cleave for 2 seconds) on a chain sword overkill?

[viscid matrix]

No, sounds pretty good tbh, i don’t use chainsword so don’t know what are bis blessings

[spice veldt]

prolly overkill

chord has 7.5 base cleave on heavies which turns into 22.5 with Savage Sweep, which means that you can hit 15 poxwalkers

and there's Rampage which gives power, not damage (despite what the description says)

[raw tapir]

Ty, I know how to get them but I'm just not getting warp charges at all regardless of what I kill, maybe a bug or am I missing something?

[viscid matrix]

Warp charges are only specialists and elites now with any damage, instead of everything with only brain burst kill

[unique mist]

it rolls on chord?

anyways, i can always swap it later (and when I get it)

[plucky flax]

That feeling when the team is low hp but the guy with the med pack is saving it for next round.

[old flame]

What does power do exactly

[plucky flax]

Damage cleave stagger

[serene breach]

Since update 13, Psyker brain buster have been nerfed. Is there any other to deal damage to monstrosity? now all attack feels like tickling monsters...

[mild junco]

Sounds like a traitor who's keeping it for the enemy after party wipe

[iron aspen]

is everyone so hard with joining new players?

[mild junco]

My best bet would be voidstrike + scrier's gaze to reliably proc 2 shots per attack

[viscid matrix]

It’s just as powerful as it was before

Mk IV Dueling sword with a Scriers build for max precision damage on weakspot hit

[summer prairie]

purgatus+DS melee without +unyielding is over 1000dps monster dps

pure purgatus with creeping flames a bit over 600

[vital compass]

yo guys is ranged crit bis perk on voidstrike? or do you run unyielding+maniacs?

[plucky flax]

No idc about low levels in my lobby.

[viscid matrix]

I run those 2, but only because I want to kill muties and monstrosities quickly

Carapace enemies die just as quick with or without carapace perk

[vital compass]

yep sweet as

figured ranged crit would be insane but mine has those 2 so ill just run it

[viscid matrix]

Ranged crit damage isn’t much, it’s like 1.3x damage on a crit instead of 1.2x

[vital compass]

roger that

[serene breach]

oh...... i forgot about Scriers build..... thanks for the info

[slow raven]

does disrupt destiny only mark flak and unarmored targets?

dont think ive seen it mark any maniacs

[unreal sedge]

does this still not work on the first special attack?

or they changed it

[cold geode]

you get it on the next strike

so you kill something with special > next hit = crit

also it gets expended whether you hit a target or not

its essentially useless, they nerfed it because of how powerful it would have been on the illisi/daemos when they released them

[unreal sedge]

ye

not sure what to craft on it, seems all mhe

blessing are bad, and the 8% too

[whole oxide]

Uncanny is good, and +20% maniac is good

swap executor to deflector/slaughterer/unstable and groaner to flak, and that's a great deimos

[unreal sedge]

doesn't onehit ragers even with 20%

mmm maybe with unstable

or maybe charge stacking

turns out, that you get 4 stack of executor with 1 power swing

so if the dmg gets updated and not snapshotted at the animation start, it 18% power

nope it's snapshotted, dream shattered

[native plover]

So is it weird when i play my psyker and have Assail i actually make a real effort to not use it too much? It's fun but a bit too powerful right now

Pretty much leaves nothing for others to deal with save Carapace enemies

[plucky flax]

I get flamed too much in zealot chat for my meme builds. At least psyker chat won't judge me (I hope).

[native plover]

Roleplaying Palpetine is pretty fun though

[plucky flax]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sheev-palpatine-unlimited-power-power-force-gif-5073064

[spice veldt]

die

[plucky flax]

[spice veldt]

i judge you with death

[gentle rose]

Zealots are just too used to flaming things being the answer to everything

[plucky flax]

Seems very close minded.

[unique mist]

Yeah me too kinda

i use assail in big hordes and when we're getting swamped in damnation

And besides it still does phenomenally in damnation hordes

but for standard approaching hordes, voidstrike puts in work

And when I'm not low on health and alongside my teammates I switch to my duelling sword for some zealot roleplay

[native plover]

i use palpetine mostly when things starting to go to hell. and we need it. Or when a hunting grounds pack approach and we dont' got a zealot with immolation

[cyan thicket]

I dunno maybe its just me but I feel weak using assail

[silent chasm]

You know people go on about the free casts of the centre tree

and they are nice, esp on palpymode

[plucky flax]

Assail gud smite gud br is a bit slow.

[silent chasm]

but honestly the Warp Charges are so fun.

[unique mist]

Like, I could have used assail here, but voidstrike was just as good and would have dealt with any stronger than chaff enemies https://imgur.com/a/Bz6S4mS

[native plover]

I don't mind warp charges, i just think it works better with gun psyker now actually

with the scrier

[silent chasm]

Warp Charges ensure I cast for cheaper, more efficiently, and with my really nice cool off stat on my new stave, I'm basically always casting.

[unique mist]

i also use warp charges

[silent chasm]

Plus, free dome.

[plucky flax]

Warp charge is really good with high peril staves like trauma and surge I find.

[silent chasm]

I just did a boss fight, we were only not in the Thunder Dome when I was recasting.

[unique mist]

i dont wanna be abusing that bug

But its hard not to

[silent chasm]

...wait, is free dome a fucking bug too????

[unique mist]

Yes

[plucky flax]

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-to-the-thunder-dome-gif-12393179

[native plover]

But unlimited Palpetine is a bug right?

[unique mist]

Yes

[plucky flax]

Yeah we assume so.

[silent chasm]

scumsucking pisschrist can they we have one non-bugged talent

[plucky flax]

[unique mist]

Shriek is perfectly fine

[native plover]

Yeah been thinking that, because the tree don't say it removes the peril cost, Must be Assail code bleeding over

[unique mist]

it definitely is assail creeping over to smite

[silent chasm]

by nurgle's rotten twat, I... why is literally everything broken.

[native plover]

Spaghetti code

[unique mist]

bungie moment

[plucky flax]

Smite with shriek ascendant blaze is pretty strong.

[silent chasm]

we're good broken, Vet is nigh-unplayable.

[silent chasm]

Oh don't get me started last season was the one I gave up.

[unique mist]

so is assail

[unreal sedge]

is there any other way to buff brain burst

so annoying it's missing 10 dmg

[silent chasm]

which is a shame I like the bog witch armour this season but making myself actually play is a fuck and a duck

[plucky flax]

You can try warp charges.

[unique mist]

Well what ways have you tried

[silent chasm]

(present company excluded)

[plucky flax]

Or I think empowered blitz also increase damage?

[native plover]

wdym? I have fun being Vet. But it's more fun going gun lugger and then starting to DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA while putting em on fire with said dakka

[unreal sedge]

that's worse than empowered

using empowered for the +50%

[plucky flax]

Tru

Maybe at high peril when you cast it utilising warp rider.

[unreal sedge]

do weapon buff still work on blitz =

used to be a bug

[silent chasm]

Vet is by far the weakest class rn, and honestly i might be getting shit players but it feels like picking vet is tantamount to throwing games rn

[unique mist]

Only if the weapon is currently held

Which means only with assail

[golden frigate]

you can do it on vet as well btw

[unique mist]

Yeah absolutely

[unreal sedge]

assail doesn't hold weapon too tho

[native plover]

Might be getting bad players. Been having vets and going well.

[unique mist]

Throw a shard and switch weapons

[plucky flax]

I do the worst as vet this patch it's too squishy.

[unique mist]

the weapon effects will apply to the shard for its lifetime

[unreal sedge]

vet with the new stub revolver is crazy tho

idk how not more popular

need the 2 blessings and that's it, 0 perks

[slow raven]

theres a new stub revolver?

[unreal sedge]

1 hit anithing, even crushers

4k headshoots

new blessings

[native plover]

Though we've also had games where we got a vet who... let's just say we think he was woefully unprepared for the shock troop gauntlet

[silent chasm]

which is a shame because my friend BC loves the Guardsmen and wanted to play that. Meanwhile the religious cockwankery of the zealot put me off being a tiny little angy nugget so here I munch throw bic pens

[unique mist]

all I'm saying is that my ideal team comp is 1 psyker and no vet

[unreal sedge]

80% rending on crit, means true dmg to all

[plucky flax]

3 psykers team all different staves and blitz is good.

Assail smite galore.

[spice veldt]

i imagine a world with 4 shroud zealots

[zinc phoenix]

So coming back to surge/smite for the first time since launch and… why did I ever leave it’s so nice to play

[unique mist]

nah because psykers are the worst class for boss damage

everything but boss damage we are good at

[silent chasm]

he's a fucking Zealot now, and is enjoying that and I'm enjoying how my special little disaster-girl with the loner persona gives his Judge constant shit.

[zinc phoenix]

I just try to tank mr boss and hope the team deals with it

[native plover]

i like how the Surge works now. But i also really like Voidstrike. It's a dilemma

[plucky flax]

No if you're not playing chastise and benediction you're not allowed.

[unique mist]

thats the ogryn job

[spice veldt]

i shroud all over your field

[silent chasm]

Benethicction

[zinc phoenix]

Not when I can block with my mind

Deal with it ogryn 😎

[plucky flax]

The guy with br will slowly wither it down.

[unique mist]

fingertips on the surface of my mind

[native plover]

laughs in Indomitable and shield

[zinc phoenix]

Yes blocking with metal does make sense

but my miiiiiiiiind

[unique mist]

I am almost certain a voidstrike staff will do better than a bb psyker for boss damage

[spice veldt]

big sad

[unique mist]

You really need to add voidstrike dps numbers to that image

[silent chasm]

loving the Psyker's fashion rn. Orange top and belt chains (iso-bloc prison uni) with armoured leather pants (Ship-board trousers) and a skandana (Mortis Psykana Aegis) is a nice Hallowe'en outfit 'ae?

[unique mist]

just to nail the point home

[plucky flax]

Pre patch bb against bonbon was op

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve been leveling surge staffs and they’re doing their absolute best to be terrible. Why do staves even have stamina

Why is that a thing 😭

[silent chasm]

the charge bar or the %?

[spice veldt]

the +75% cast speed -peril cost on ult

[waxen peak]

just for bloat really lol

[zinc phoenix]

The +2 stamina on staff

[silent chasm]

that

[unique mist]

because fuck you

[silent chasm]

that can roll there!?!?!?

[zinc phoenix]

It’s just mean

[unique mist]

obviously

[silent chasm]

fucking what

no

fuck you

why

fdjslkfdsjk

[zinc phoenix]

Every surge staff I’ve rolled in the past few days

Stamina

[unique mist]

All weapons can roll all perks

[zinc phoenix]

yes but

Why

[plucky flax]

I play staff only no melee weapon so stamina help me block and run.

[silent chasm]

that's so awful.

Oh no, today is Saturday

[unique mist]

like I said, fuck you that's why. Run more with your staff idiot

[silent chasm]

a friend wants to run a Pathinder thing I Do Not Want To Be In.

[unique mist]

(Love you)

[silent chasm]

uuuulgh

[zinc phoenix]

I will 😱

[unique mist]

I mean

have you uh

[zinc phoenix]

I find the best way to exit any roleplay thing is to try to eat everything until the dm kills you

[unique mist]

Have you used the staff's special attack

at all

[silent chasm]

it's not that he's a bad dm

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's op

[silent chasm]

that remains to be seen

[plucky flax]

I kill crushers with it.

[zinc phoenix]

I’d watch that bud

[silent chasm]

it's just... last thing we did was like 8 combat encounters and 2 puzzles.

[zinc phoenix]

Bop attack running wild

I know 40k is the dice game (so this will sound insane to you people) but... combat is like the least fun part of ttrpgs for me.

[zinc phoenix]

I was just about to ask "so how is Wrath and Glory"

[zinc phoenix]

“Get me the dice bucket! The heavy dice bucket”

[silent chasm]

I'll try anything that isn't roll under once.

that's my rule.

[unique mist]

I mean it is called a role playing game

not a tabletop combat game

[silent chasm]

that's just it! I wanna Roleplay, not rollplay, ya feel me

[zinc phoenix]

I had to play a dnd campaign just after the financial crisis and I was a lizard. So I ate the horse, the bedding and had a good start on a wagon before the dm said “thats it, you’re dead”

[unique mist]

I'm fine with dnd combat, I just hate it when my turn rolls around, I know exactly what I'm gonna do, I make my rolls and finish my turn in under a minute. And then it takes 25 minutes for the turn order to come back to me. That's just. Why.

[modern tusk]

Wrath and glory is awesome.

is W&G married to the tank-DPS-face-Cleric model?

because ngl that shit kinna sucks 'ae

[modern tusk]

Nah

[unique mist]

wizards should just roll a dice for what spell slot to use that turn and again for what spell to cast for that spell slot, it would be so much quicker. Call it chaos magic.

[silent chasm]

Good. Because of the potential players we'd have for that, we'd have a Psyker pulling double duty as a Rogue Trader (yo), a Techpriest, a Tempestus Scion, and a wild card, probably a Sister of battle or maybe a SM.

[modern tusk]

Skitarii masterrace

[silent chasm]

Skits are coolio but I want my brain wizardry.

[unique mist]

Ok wizard it's your turn. Okay so I use a...4th level spell slot, and I use it to cast...greater invisibility? Uh I guess I cast it on the rogue, here lil buddy, advantage on all your attacks and thus sneak attack every turn as long as I maintain concentration. Fighter, guard me with your life.

[silent chasm]

My other friend (who got into 40k via Inquisitor Trainer I should mention) asked me, when I mentioned the game "Can I be a servo skull? What about a techpriest? That then." when I sent him the class list.

[modern tusk]

Last W&G campaign I was in, I was a Skit on a ship that's gellar field failed and translated into the warp...fun times.

Does this qualify as a meta build? Just came back to the game and everyone talks about Assail being broken but the guy here is saying you are only using your staff anyway, so you can take brain burst

[silent chasm]

I don't understand

[modern tusk]

Yeah same, jumping spiders never elicit that response either

[silent chasm]

you try to hump everything with legs don't you.

I mean, I get it. All of my rogues have troubled relationships with their parents.

[zinc phoenix]

He’s not wrong

[modern tusk]

Nah, I don't even got anything to hump with. I usually play as undead races like reborn or a straight up skeleton

(this one, Mayhem the Tiefling, was abandoned. my main character is a Revenant (old 5e playtest material, now a PF2e Fleshwarp) who is basically a frankenstein, stitched out of parts and all, named The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter because a serial killer posing as a town coroner and hangman made her out of beautiful young people to try and have a slave-doll)

[modern tusk]

He made a guitar out of his femur and couldn't walk for a turn after casting or playing music to reattach his limb

Why not his skull

I don't have arachnophobia, but just wanted to say I appreciate the effort you put into the warning

[zinc phoenix]

You could have played drums with his skull

[obsidian arch]

feel like i annoy my team when i use assail and i have tone it down so they dont leave the match, anyone else feel like this lol

[modern tusk]

My DM used the 3.5 race stats for my skeleton, led to funny instances of party members tossing health potions at me which brought me to death saves (healing magic and health potions damage skeletons 💀💀)

[obsidian arch]

im still on the newer difficulties im sure it gets less useful the higher i go

[silent chasm]

Yeah that's a weird thing in old DND for them, revive kill zombies

[silent chasm]

no no right now Assail is the "I don't wanna try" button it's great.

now if only the ogryn with the 'nade launcher would stop hogging all the bloddy Specials so I could keep 6 charges for 5 mins...........

[modern tusk]

It's awesome for power farming missions to get lifeleach 3 (100 missions as psyker)

[silent chasm]

Since my main group (not the one I'm playing today with) is transferring from 5e to PF2e, we've had to do a lot of stickynoting to keep story-important stuff, esp since we're going back to level 1

[gentle rose]

Tbh in my opinion assail is actually the least annoying of the psyker blitzes ATM. Smite has framerate issues for team mates, and head pop has always had the issue of like "this guy is glowing and shooting at me, I want to shoot him back but it will mess up the psyker now"

Assail is just "there's less enemies for me, oh noo"

[modern tusk]

You leaving 5e because of the WOTC stuff?

[silent chasm]

A, yes, B, we were planning on doing it before that anyway?

[obsidian arch]

lmao ok i thought it was just me im like this has to get harder right? even bosses melt with assail its ridiculous

[modern tusk]

So just a coincidence then

[silent chasm]

DM wants a more intricate, less "solve it urself loozer" system.

WotC's been selling air for a while.

[modern tusk]

Isn't Matt Mercer making his own DND system?

[blissful solar]

assail cant compete against the real build

[silent chasm]

but yeah, like, our Fighter is a Minotaur, PF2e ain't got those IIRC.

[gentle rose]

Or at least, cotton wool 😛

[silent chasm]

In the case of my character, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, despite being undead she isn't killed by healing magic! That's like a Whole Thing with her. Plus the death-banishment thing.

[modern tusk]

Must be nice not erupting in radiant fire each time the cleric casts a aoe heal

https://tenor.com/view/kaboom-boom-nuke-nuclear-bomb-gif-20734003

[silent chasm]

(Basically, year and year ago, when we were all new to this group and our DM was new to DMing, he didn't want to TPK accidentally so he was like "alright one of you bitches is gonna be immortal, I'm rolling a D4" and I got the unlucky go. So I decided to make that the entire character's backstory. She can't die and is Sad About It. Well, she does die. just wakes up after a while. think the Nameless One in Planescape Torment?)

[silent chasm]

It's literally the only thing keeping our Kelemvorite Drow from pinning me to the wall with holy curses. 👍

[modern tusk]

One nice thing is to make up for the whole can't heal with healing pots or magic is that necrotic healed me

[silent chasm]

Ah fuck yea, just get a necrotic dagger and jab it into your own ribbies

free healing

[modern tusk]

POV: The lich casting blight at me.

[silent chasm]

lol

and like while playing someone for whom death is a really bad cold at worst was weird? it's become hilarious.

[lyric prism]

how much crit chance does the combat blade have?

some say 15, some say 30%

[modern tusk]

Maybe the crit chance were the friends we made along the way

[silent chasm]

like fuck it, like 50 years have passed over the revolving door party. She's gone from an edgy ascetic type "inner rage and tranquility" rogue to a jaded adrenaline junky hedonist bounty hunter/treasure hunter rogue who carouses in ways that would make a slaaneshi cultist blush.

fuck I wish that party was meeting today, not my other one.

[reef nacelle]

is assail op

[gilded viper]

not particularly. doesn't do shit to armor, enhanced or otherwise, can clear a horde nice, but a lot of things can

annoying people just like to shout louder so they can pretend their opinions matter

[reef nacelle]

it clears horde like nothing

[worn solstice]

15 toughness replenished on warp attack kill

[reef nacelle]

same

[worn solstice]

I think that makes it busted

Assail i mean

[reef nacelle]

you are a giga tank lol

[worn solstice]

Sorry i was lurking lol

[reef nacelle]

its 15%

[royal granite]

assail is good against everything but carapace and is okay against flak

[reef nacelle]

yeah but then psykers have OP voidstrike for armour

[royal granite]

yeah

[reef nacelle]

so any psyker with braincells who can weapon swap you are doing 3-4x damage of everuone

what build though

[royal granite]

i am so tired of seeing every psyker either run assail+voidstrike or infinite smite

assail would be my favourite blitz if it wasn't horribly overtuned

also voidstrike was my favourite staff before the patch

[blissful solar]

the psyker build where you set everyone on fire is the best

[royal granite]

yeah i love trickshotting bulwarks, conceptually

[zenith cosmos]

i need a fun build

[timber basin]

Luv' me revolver.

[zenith cosmos]

shock trooper style lol im tired of throwing crystals so im trying something new

[reef nacelle]

isnt voidstrike just better

[blissful solar]

i like trauma force

[zenith cosmos]

what kils chaos spawns bc i can easily do malice

but if one of them spawns no one can ever kill it what class can handle that

[rich surge]

Isn't it usually a full team effort?

[zenith cosmos]

you would think but i get in a game with no orgyn type

[golden frigate]

every class can kill it pretty easily

[zenith cosmos]

so its just a mess we just died lol level 20s to a chaos spawn

mine does not i have the storm shit my staff is ass lol

[golden frigate]

ogryns and vets with bleed/burn, zealots with TH/bleed/stealth, psykers with bleed/BB/void

[obsidian arch]

guys psykinetics wrath does not currently quell yes? this is a bug?

[golden frigate]

and honestly you can kill a boss with pretty much whatever, what's needed is you knowing its attack patters and how to play around them

[obsidian arch]

unless i actually have to hit a target with it but ive used it and i can confirm it does not lower my peril lol

[frank moat]

Psykinetic’s Wrath doesn’t quell any more

Gotta upgrade it to Venting Shriek

[brazen acorn]

Trying to do Touch the Void (3) where you have to do all 7 mission types on Heresy, is there any way to tell which mission types I haven't completed yet?

[steel flame]

well rn voidstrike staff can perma stun it so by proxy it can also solo it

[frank moat]

Any mission you’ve completed before will have a green symbol beneath its thumbnail in the Mission Terminal representing the highest difficulty you’ve completed it on

[zenith cosmos]

wso i need one of those

[brazen acorn]

Is that the highest difficulty on any class, or just the current class?

[frank moat]

You can either go through each mission as they show up and take note of which you’ve done manually

Or download a mod that lists the ones you need in the penances menu

Ohh good point I’m not sure if it’s per class

I’ll swap char and check

[brazen acorn]

certified Fat Shark Moment™️

[frank moat]

Okay yea the symbols are account based

[brazen acorn]

yeahh

I just figured it out because I was seeing 5 mission types completed on Heresy when my Psyker has only done 4...

bruh Inquisitorial Legend, the account-wide penance, doesn't even show you which ones you need

[frank moat]

I highly recommend the PenanceDetails mod, it lists what you’re missing for every penance and gives you progress bars on the kill heretic ones

[zenith cosmos]

i dont get it i do 3 star missions all daay

[reef nacelle]

are penances just achievments?

[zenith cosmos]

then get killed all day today on them like i dont do damage like i wanna i feel so support like as a psyker lol

[frank moat]

Basically just extra in-game achievements, yea

Handful of them give you trinkets/frames/clothes though so they’re the ones that matter

[steel flame]

oh boy i sure would love to play some darktide on this weekend morning

[zenith cosmos]

seems with the team i end up with as a psyker i need to be a veteran with melee and guns to kill stuff bc they just dont do anything

[steel flame]

oh silly me

cmon fortshork

[blissful solar]

BACKEND ERROR!?!?!

[cyan thicket]

huh me too

[slate oasis]

What weapons are you using?

[blissful solar]

just set everyone on fire and youll do all the damage

and use voidstrike/trauma force staff

[zenith cosmos]

i have a staff a sword and then i shock everyone but it like

onyl stuns doesnt kill so i cant kill everything im like support

[blissful solar]

you have to end the shock to do any real damage i think

[zenith cosmos]

can someone link me a skill tree meant for damage

[shut jewel]

I like Assail but wow I can really feel how you can absolutely break its balance with the right build unfortunately.

[zenith cosmos]

assail is fun it just doesnt kill huge guys lol

clears rooms

[shut jewel]

I like using it as a pressure-releiver though, peel off hordes from surrounding teammates and stuff like that.

[frank moat]

Smite really isn’t intended for damage, it’s hard crowd control

[shut jewel]

Pairs well with a revolver imo.

Feels really odd though to be able to bodyshot a horde fodder enemy and have them not die with the revolver.

[deft osprey]

+toughness, +health, or +toughness regen speed for psyker?

[slate oasis]

Try out the deimos force sword, the charged up attack on it is good for killing tougher enemies. Also the void strike staff can kill pretty much anything in a few fully charged shots right now

[zenith cosmos]

ya i dont need to use shock i want anything to make psyker OP

ill make any build

[blissful solar]

use the build that sets everything on fire

the talents that set things on fire upon elite death, the one that spreads upon any death, the one that spreads fire to all that get hit by your F ability

[zenith cosmos]

okay ill try and whats a good build perk tree wise

[clear light]

is the max 380 for these?

[narrow crane]

yes

[reef nacelle]

max 380 for all weapons

[clear light]

gotcha, thanks

[reef nacelle]

what is the difference between auric and normal

[slate oasis]

I like assail, bubble shield, and then warp siphon for the keystone.
That’s just my personal preference though

[narrow crane]

auric has modifiers

[sterile cipher]

Is getting stuck waiting in a queue for main menu common....

[narrow crane]

servers are down

[sterile cipher]

Ahhh that makes sense. Thanx

[honest parrot]

Anybody know how I can make head pop charge up faster?

[narrow crane]

empowered psionics

[honest parrot]

Thanks

[reef nacelle]

how do i sell wepaons

[narrow crane]

inventory, then barter items by highlighting them and holding X

says it in the inv menu

bottom of screen

dont fuck it up, you cant undo it

[reef nacelle]

what is warp resistance

i am trying to craft a good voidstrike staff

[narrow crane]

you generate less peril per shot

or if it's a sword, less peril generated when activating force power

[reef nacelle]

does this suck

dmg is low

[narrow crane]

lmfao

F

here's what you do

upgrade it to legendary, and then hope you roll some good blessings that you can sacrifice

[reef nacelle]

i am just rolling at brunts armoury

[narrow crane]

it happens

[reef nacelle]

why do i want to sacrifice blessings?

[narrow crane]

any weapon that has base stats of 360 or higher, keep them and upgrade them for blessings. you wanna sacrifice blessings so you can keep them, and apply the blessing to staves of the same type.

[shut jewel]

So you unlock them to put on stuff you want.

[narrow crane]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[vital compass]

fuckin lol

[atomic plover]

lol

[narrow crane]

we got a fucking gamer in here fellas

[reef nacelle]

what lol

i just hit 30 btw

[vital compass]

those are insane blessings

[narrow crane]

congrats, those are great blessings, you can only sacrifice one of them via the "earn blessing" option in Hadron's shop

[gentle rose]

I think it's that that staff has 2 very good blessings, but pretty low damage 😛

[reef nacelle]

how do you know whats a good blessing

[narrow crane]

Because we know the meta

and what works and why

[reef nacelle]

is it cos its tier 4 or something

[narrow crane]

oh

yes

T4 is th best

[royal falcon]

if it works especially well with the weapon in question

in this case, both transfer peril and warp flurry are MASSIVE on void strike, esp if they’re tier 3/4

[gentle rose]

They are both level 4, and if you look at the level 4 blessings some are better than others and those are two pretty good ones, and tier 4

[narrow crane]

Here's the thing Brad

I would personally sacrifice it for Warp Flurry, but either is good.

the T4 blessing that you REALLY want is Surge tho

NOT SURGE WEAPON

SURGE BLESSING

T4

[royal falcon]

surge
the blessing
shoots twice on crit

[narrow crane]

Yes

[royal falcon]

to clarify

[narrow crane]

Yeah this is sorta what you want, but Warp Nexus on T4

[sterile saddle]

yeah

[gentle rose]

This gives me the gets hot blessing 😉

[reef nacelle]

what does 2 shots on critical hit even mean

[sterile saddle]

gets hot is for plasma isn't it?

[lethal folio]

When you roll a crit your shot is duplicated.

[sterile saddle]

u shoot 2 atacks for the price of 1

[reef nacelle]

so it does double dmg

[sterile saddle]

so if u max charge ur weapon and let go, it shoots 2 fully charged attacks

[narrow crane]

Every time you shoot a crit shot, it actually shoots out two blasts

[narrow crane]

yes

[sterile saddle]

pretty much one-shots anything

[narrow crane]

it can one shot crushers

[sterile saddle]

if u hit it on the head anyway

even then itll only have like 200 hp left

if u body it

[gentle rose]

Yeah sorry, I was just saying it makes me excited, but I did that in a weird way, not a good way to communicate

[sterile saddle]

o lol

[sterile saddle]

i'd probably not use infested as a roll either

[reef nacelle]

i just hit this

[sterile saddle]

i use infested cause i also use the stick to left click mobs

and it just works for me

[narrow crane]

there's no fucking way

[narrow crane]

bro

[sterile saddle]

bruuuh

[reef nacelle]

XD

[narrow crane]

gO PLAY THE LOTTO

[reef nacelle]

it is good?

[narrow crane]

GO NOW

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[sterile saddle]

yeah thats really good

[reef nacelle]

the perks are good too right?

[sterile saddle]

some people prefer the 'charge rate' but i like crit rate

[narrow crane]

there's no way dude

[reef nacelle]

they look good at least

[narrow crane]

youre trolling

[sterile saddle]

the charge speed is so fast tho it's like.. 1s vrs .6 seconds

[acoustic osprey]

Omg the most perfect weapon

[vital compass]

xd

[acoustic osprey]

Sploosh

I'm so wet rn!

[narrow crane]

😭

[vital compass]

meanwhile i spent my entire life savings and got shafted earlier tryna get a void staff

[reef nacelle]

you guys are trolling me for sure

[narrow crane]

Brad there's guys in here that have been trying to roll T4 Surge for hundreds of hours

[sterile saddle]

the low stat u typically want is either charge or quell cause you actually quell pretty fast regardless and there is a free quell perk u can pick up if u spec void procs

[long wharf]

I mean, it's just a matter of time

[wispy iris]

damn bruh

[royal falcon]

extremely loud incorrect buzzer

[reef nacelle]

should i reroll the perks?

[royal falcon]

we shit you not that is amazing

[long wharf]

Get crit chance on there

[royal falcon]

but yes upgrade the perks

crit chance and uhhhh

[sterile saddle]

You can roll flak/unarmed, those are for 1 shotting gunners

[royal falcon]

fuck what’s the other one

[wispy iris]

same bro

same

surge where

[sterile saddle]

or you ca nchange it to elite/specialists

[narrow crane]

Yeah, but you have some more flexibility there. I would do 5% crit chance and 25% Maniac damage, but flak armor is also good

[long wharf]

Flak

[reef nacelle]

i should run a crit build with this?

[sterile saddle]

I would

[narrow crane]

crit build is the meta for void

[royal falcon]

you don’t necessarily have to since voidstrike is just that cracked but it’s real good with a crit build

gooder

[wispy iris]

[royal falcon]

you know what I mean

[narrow crane]

Yeah there's a lot of flexibility with the perks, it's that good right now

this mf Brad

😭

[reef nacelle]

guys

i am sorry

[narrow crane]

lmao welcome to the psyker club dude

[reef nacelle]

so if i headshot with this it double hits

[narrow crane]

No, when you CRIT you double shot

you want to be aiming at heads because that is the weakpoint for most enemies

[atomic plover]

whats the best boss dmg weapon on psyker?

[frank moat]

Voidstrike is best everything right now

[narrow crane]

when we say "crit" we mean critical hit, a chance to shoot a extra strong shot. the % chance goes up with perks or talents within Psyker's talent tree

[narrow crane]

probably Voidstrike

[vital compass]

how important even is blast radius on void

[narrow crane]

I don't even think it's probably idk why I said that

[gentle rose]

Every attack has a % chance to be a crit. Base 5% but you get up to +20% from high perils and +5% from taking the +5% perk, so you can get to like 30% of your shots, shoot twice

And also critical hits hit for more damage anyway

[narrow crane]

Personally I feel like I can tell the difference between high vs low blast radius, but you can see it in the stats page

[reef nacelle]

why is my weapon good though

[narrow crane]

there's an epicenter blast radius, that's what you want highest

[reef nacelle]

cant u just reroll blessing

or put your own on it

[narrow crane]

you can only reroll two things on the weapon before its locked

[vital compass]

Ya from like 69% to 80 you get .08 epicentre radius

doesn't seem too crazy to try roll high 70s on it

[reef nacelle]

cant you just put two t4 blessings on it

[narrow crane]

and you cant reroll into a new blessing that you havent earned

[narrow crane]

not if you havent earned them

[gentle rose]

You can, but then you can't modify the perks, whereas with your staff you can choose any two t4 perks as well as having 2 really good t4 blessings

[narrow crane]

it takes some people hundreds of hours to roll what you just rolled lmao

[gentle rose]

And yeah you need to roll them on at least one staff and then give up that staff before you can use them on other staffs

Yeah I'm like 340 hours in and I dont think I have any of those t4 blessings you rolled on those two staffs

Admittedly I play all four classes about equally so that's only about 85 hours of psyker

[reef nacelle]

are t4 blessings rare?

[narrow crane]

incredibly

[gentle rose]

They used to be rarer, but they are still reasonably rare

[narrow crane]

they're the hardest to roll, because they usually only get rolled on weapons with base rating of 360+

and even at level 30, you can roll low 300s

[gentle rose]

Sufficiently rare that I check melks store every day for t4 blessings 😛

[zenith cosmos]

My@issue is I get like trapped ima. Horde

And die to it bc I don’t have a clear or can’t run

[narrow crane]

are you dying to the horde itself, or specials/elites within the horde

[marble locust]

If you want T4 blessing on staves, you almost have to exclusivley brunt's and upgrade them all the way, yeah Blue can proc, but legendary upgrade proc's t4 alot more

I spent 2 million gold and probably 10k plastseel getting just void's t4's way before 2.0

[reef nacelle]

what is the crit build for psykers?

[marble locust]

Depends on which build you are doing there is a few

Crit melee with the wrong sword won't proc Blaz effect as the sword one-shots on crit and then doesn't proc fire

[reef nacelle]

is there a crit assail build?

[marble locust]

Sort of, but generally Crit mroe for the force swords and Warp Nexus staff builds esp Void with T4 Warp Nexus and Surge

Assail is a crutch, it will get something changed, Don't learn to lean on it too hard. Just a warning or you'll hate it when they do what they did with the Power Sword.

[queen fog]

of course there is, the right side of his tree is almost primary focused on that aspect of his build

unless ur asking for a whole already made build for u to reference/snag for ur own using

[marble locust]

Honestly I'm loving just doing a Blitz-less Scrier build at the moment, Just Scryer's Gaze and cooldown reduction like a mad-man

[plucky flax]

Seems op.

[dusk rose]

anyone else cant get in?

[narrow crane]

yea

it's Steam

[dusk rose]

whats the fix?

[narrow crane]

wait

there is no fix

[dusk rose]

I cant wait

[dusk rose]

I NEED TO PURGE the heratics!

[narrow crane]

then die

[dusk rose]

They must be purged

[zenith cosmos]

is this good imusing shards then spamming that void its nice right click then spam it

[mossy sonnet]

ayyy unlocked the loxbury cape

[molten prawn]

I always call it the homeless outfit

[mossy sonnet]

i didn't even try to get it. i was just brain bursting hounds and muties left and right

[static pine]

I really need to collect voidstrike staff blessings...
What am I looking for? 🤔

[mossy sonnet]

purgator enjoyer here

[wispy iris]

Warp Nexus and Surge are bis afaik

[lethal folio]

Flurry is useful.

[gilded viper]

I love how if I use brain burst to hit distant targets, my teammates are hellbent on shooting whoever im bursting, and if I run smite, my teammates are honor bound to run straight into a fucking firing line

Pugs are literally designed to be as stupid as humanly possible istg

[reef nacelle]

how do i find out base crit chance for a weapon?

[wispy iris]

brain burst highlight activates neurons

makes people want to shoot it ig..

[gilded viper]

Fuck it, never touch assail, buff it even, teammates are worthless

[supple bone]

bright highlight on screen, must target

[thin stump]

Maybe a dumb question but what is psykinetic's wrath?

[gilded viper]

anybody who kills an elite or special in your cohesion(including yourself) gets 5% of their ulty back

oh wait that's aura lol

[reef nacelle]

what is base crit for a voidstrike staff>

[wispy iris]

its the default ability

[thin stump]

Because i try to get this

[deft osprey]

I just got this from mission drop, is it good? anything that can be improved on it?

[dusk rose]

servers working yet for steam?

[gilded viper]

Burn stat is a little low, I'd trade out your perks for +Flak and probably +Infested

[frank moat]

Psykinetic’s Wrath is the default Psyker ability, but you’ll need to upgrade it to Venting Shriek for it to quell peril and let you do the penance

[thin stump]

Thx

[lofty temple]

Bricked? Worth upgrading again?

[viscid matrix]

Bricked

[lofty temple]

Fuuuck

[viscid matrix]

Upgrade again for chance of new blessings

[lofty temple]

I have 5/5 Tier 4 blessings

God bless RNG

[sterile saddle]

its way more efficient to just upgrade to blue imo

if ur farming blessings

[lofty temple]

I think I can make this one work

[deft osprey]

Does the perks and crit chance affect burn damage? Also how much burn is considered good?

[narrow crane]

💀

[lofty temple]

Do I abandon 5% damage for a chance to get rid of Rampage?

I think I do.

[narrow crane]

wait what

[lofty temple]

I'm posting all my dueling swords

[lofty temple]

Look at this one

[lofty temple]

And then this one

[plucky flax]

Use the one without rampage locked.

[lofty temple]

Yeah no shit pal

Do I replace Riposte as well

[narrow crane]

Oh I didn't see the other one yeah

[plucky flax]

Then why are you asking?

[lofty temple]

Rhetorical

[plucky flax]

You need uncanny + 1 crit chance blessing.

It's up to you if you want to run riposte or shred.

[viscid matrix]

Nah it’s only 1500 plat per weapon, more likely to get rare blessings on orange

Ends up being more plat being spent if you only go blue and barter

[lofty temple]

I was considering precognition instead

[plucky flax]

If you can utilise the 2s then sure.

Imo it's too inconsistent. Uncanny is just easier.

[strong gulch]

If only damage and mobility were switched.

[narrow crane]

f

[strong gulch]

🥲

[ornate hamlet]

At least you can dodge well with it?

I guess?

[strong gulch]

BRUNT 😂

[gilded viper]

Idealy burn and cloud are your highest stats, the dot you apply is your main damage on purge staff. Crit applies double stacks, and if you’re running +X then X will take more damage from your burn

Other than burn and cloud everything else can be considered a dump stat, although I appreciate a decent quell speed

[ornate hamlet]

358 damage is still nothing to scoff at tbh

[upbeat parcel]

I keep hearing about psyker dodge tanking

anyone got a build for that? I assume u need a dueling sword

[ornate hamlet]

Psyker sword actually

Since it has unlimited dodges

[upbeat parcel]

which psyker sword?

[ornate hamlet]

I forget the name but the ones you can charge up like a power sword

Blaze force sword I think it is?

[upbeat parcel]

oh the one that you can peril stack really quickly?

[queen fog]

there’s I think 3 diff force swords?

Deimos the stabby one

[ornate hamlet]

there are ye

[deft osprey]

Alright thanks 👍

[ornate hamlet]

and yes

lemme get the build planner set up, can probably whip smth up

[upbeat parcel]

I would appreciate it

[sterile cipher]

Is there a chance that psyker could get ephrael stern style cosmetics? >.>

[ornate hamlet]

smite or assail? ||there's only one correct answer||

[upbeat parcel]

Assail is a bit boring to use I would prefer smite

[ornate hamlet]

excellent choice

@upbeat parcel

this is what i have so far, and included with additional crit chance which will add more toughness regen along with empathetic evasion

You're going to want an Illisi BF sword with Precognition and Riposte to add into it

And curios that will give you stamina regen

[upbeat parcel]

what's the game plan with this? just dodge and fish for crits? maybe vent some peril for toughness?

[ornate hamlet]

gain and vent peril for toughness

and when you have max peril after you activate scriers gaze, you're dealing 20% more damage

[upbeat parcel]

bet I'll try this

thanks sibling

[ornate hamlet]

lemme get the build exported and i'll toss ya the link

Warp guide you, sibling.

[narrow crane]

what blessings are you guys running on Mk V axe

Decimator 4 and what else

[plucky flax]

Bm but I don't like playing axe on psyker.

Unless I guess you're playing gun psyker?

[narrow crane]

I have a bunch of 370+ axes that are just sitting around

[plucky flax]

[brave ibex]

Can smite crit?

[narrow crane]

I think so

[brave ibex]

[narrow crane]

idk why it would t

it doesnt help much tho

[brave ibex]

I just wish I could make smite do a bit more damage

[narrow crane]

just use surge staff

[sly forge]

the mystery acquisition worth rolling for or should i save for something in the limited stuff?

[brave ibex]

I like lightning

[narrow crane]

Could be outdated by now, but way back at launch someone dumped a ton of credits into it and it was awful rolls

not worth

[sly forge]

okay,thanks

[limber heath]

Melk shop for blessings, profaned upgrading for stats (and arguably blessings too)

[narrow crane]

ye

the lack of changes to the shops since launch is depressing, but I hope that the next big item on FS to do list is to rework the item system

hopefully the lack of minor changes means theyre waiting to a big rework but idk

[limber heath]

I'd rather have any other content cuz the item system isn't in a bad place right now imo, especially with how content doesn't require perfect rolls by any means

[narrow crane]

Eh I think it's a complete downgrade over an already flawed V2 item system. I think every hour I've spent checking the shop, rolling items, doing mental gymnastics trying to understand how to craft a weapon I actually want is time I would have rather spent in game.

[limber heath]

I don't really look at brunts shop since it's a waste of time, I do missions and dump ordos into profaned weapons. 3 or 4 missions of plasteel and a few hundred thousand ordos has always guaranteed me a decent weapon, if not excellent rolls

OFC the experience could be different if you have shit RNG or something but I didn't play a ton of vt2 so not sure how it compares. What I remember from vt2 is needing to open boxes which I don't really like

[narrow crane]

I mean I've gotten lucky with blessings too, but I've spent a few million creds never to gave rolled Slaughterer higher than T2 on weapons.

[olive ember]

brunts shop is a waste of time?

thats literally the best way to get a god roll weapon

by shop do you mean

the armoury

or the hourly thing

[limber heath]

I'm not sure if I've been misinterpreted I do not mean the armory

I mean the hourly shop

[olive ember]

ah the hourly shop

yeah nvrm

i mean funny curios lol

[limber heath]

I thought brunt ran them both so my mistake

Yea I guess it does serve a purpose for curios

Again this is just my opinion, everyone has a different experience playing games so wanting your RNG to manifest in a different way is reasonable

[narrow crane]

V2 item boxes are free, you're guaranteed them for completing a mission, ranking up, completing challenges, and every single item you get from the boxes can be broken down into crafting materials. And the crafting materials themselves could be downgraded.

Still a flawed system, but at the very least, rerolling properties/traits is way more accessible.

It's limited by an insanely plentiful resource

[balmy flax]

I prefer vtide 2 system.
But I agree people seem to obsess over stats in this game that may not even help cross any kind of meaningful breakpoint.
Number go up! I guess

[reef nacelle]

does scriers gaze work with voidstaff?

[narrow crane]

works with anything really

[plucky flax]

Gazers.

[narrow crane]

it's not optimal on staves because of the peril generation

[limber heath]

Using warp with scriers isn't as recommended because sparkhead go boom if you're not careful, I've only really seen it recommended for gunker

[reef nacelle]

do you nuke bosses?

[queen fog]

sometimes

[indigo thunder]

If we exclude Empowered Psionics bug, isn't Disrupt Destiny better with Smite?

Or even Warp Siphon for less peril generation

[broken quail]

Has nobody else commented on disrupt destiny not highlighting certain marked enemies? Sometimes I get stacks from killing non-marked stalkers as well as the melee flak/dregs despite them not getting marked. I'm guessing those enemies don't have highlight built in since they can't be pinged or marked with vet ult?

[lunar spruce]

Which gun do you prefer for a gun/psyker build?

[ebon jolt]

I think this keystone is optimal for smite play.

[echo turtle]

Mk3 vraks is solid, especially with the boss deleter load out

[ebon jolt]

The MkIII headhunter autogun is really good. I’ve been looking for a good recon lasgun mkVIIa to give that a try. I think the shredder auto pistol would be good but I don’t have the right blessings. I think the MG XII lasgun and MkIII headhunter autogun with deadly accurate are both solid choices.

I’m sad the Mk1 autogun didn’t get a buff to counteract the enemy health increases. Used to be my favorite gun psyker weapon. Can’t one tap enemy shooters to the face anymore without buffs online.

[steel flame]

Try laspistol with scryer crit build

It's nasty as hell

[ebon jolt]

Blessing and perk recommendations? I just passed on the T4 blessing that gives toughness back in critical hit kills in the limited store 😩

[steel flame]

I use inferno and dumdum 4

Toughness regen 4 is good too

[marble locust]

The Revovler has a toughness blessing also.

[ebon jolt]

If you’re going to use the revolver I imagine you would use hand cannon and maybe surgical?

[steel flame]

This build is slightly out of date. I took two nodes off (can't remember which rn) and got warp rider for some more damage

[ebon jolt]

That way you can pick up assail over smite or BR.

[ornate hamlet]

assail

[marble locust]

I usne Hand Cannon and Point Blank

but I melee mostly

[steel flame]

I use assail as a backup to las, for trash clear and setting up staggers for quick laspistol kills

I also pair it with mk4 dueling saber with rending to take care of crushers

The crit rate on the laspistol gives you practical ranged immunity with empathic evasion, entirely trivializing gunners, reapers and shotguns

You can just run up in their face while firing and there isn't a dam thing they can do about it

[sterile saddle]

that usually involves abandoning your team tho

cause they are way back there hunkering down

[steel flame]

And?

They only gotta hunker cause the gunners are there and I'm nothing if not a problem solver

You have an absurd amount of speed between crit speed, destiny speed and scryer speed so playing away from the team at intervals isn't an issue

Assail is also great for covering reloads since you can toss a few out swap back to las for your reload while assail is staggering anything running towards you

[dusk rose]

aight

i prefer smite over assail

[steel flame]

Fair enough

[west smelt]

Which one should I surrender for?

[dusk rose]

If u have a horde clearer I'm better off with major CC

[fleet torrent]

Smite is the better supporting tool IMO

That stagger is 👌

[dusk rose]

yeeeee

Assail is so meh on more armoured horded as well

[fleet torrent]

I actually find it half decent but you need that bonus piercing point

[steel flame]

Yeah las crit is full aggression offense which is why I dont use smite for the build with how slow it is

[fleet torrent]

it doesnt do high single damage, but three will still wack them and with bonus pierce you'll still clear a swathe of the hoard

[steel flame]

Sigh

[plucky flax]

Assail voidstrike gamers crying after nerf I can predict the future

[steel flame]

Why does everyone just look at stuff in a vacuum

It's annoying

[olive ember]

bro infinite smite users is gonna be crying

had two damnation games in a row where they were just abusing the bug

one of them was good

[reef nacelle]

what is the bug?

[olive ember]

the other one was complete dogshit even with bug

[dusk rose]

'what should I even spend my weekly currency on

[olive ember]

if you use empowered psionics with smite theres a bug where smite doesn't generate peril

[plucky flax]

Tru I play unlimited power meme sometimes but limited power smite is legit with the creeping flames shriek.

[steel flame]

I'll be happy when the bug is crushed so I can stop hearing about it every time I come here....

[narrow crane]

Assail and Voidstrike can be nerfed and still be plenty good***, lets just hope FS doesn't completely destroy them

[shut breach]

Let's hope they do

[olive ember]

you'll just be hearing about how psyker is weak as shit and how fatshark ruined psyker and how it needs buffed

[shut breach]

I get enough of that shit from Sienna

[olive ember]

because lets be honest assail is going to be nerfed into the ground

[plucky flax]

Good idc assail.

[olive ember]

they had to make a fucking megathread on the subreddit because of all the whiners

[plucky flax]

It's fun for like 10 games.

Then it's

At least smite is skillful.

[steel flame]

......

[steel flame]

Dafuq you smoking

[plucky flax]

You need to get your team to hit the smited targets.

[narrow crane]

Yeaah dude pull out Smite, let it rip and then check in 5-7 business days when a groaner dies

[steel flame]

That's just luck not skill

[loud sparrow]

Hey looking to get back into Darktide post patch - how is Psyker now compared to before?

[steel flame]

Anyway all they need to do with assail is cut the ammo down to 4-5

[narrow crane]

yeah

[steel flame]

900k damage possible in a normal game

[narrow crane]

every class got an upgrade, Psyker especially

go have fun

[lofty temple]

LMAO

[safe monolith]

more fun

[loud sparrow]

Yay I get to be Space Gandalf, except he’s on meth and schizophrenic

[olive ember]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/176gsgy/assail_megathread/

its so fucking stupid

like yes its overtuned I don't need 6 posts about how "game is unplayable because of assail psyker"

[narrow crane]

love reading thru comments of people straight up lying "yeah I just started two days ago and Assail makes Auric Maelstrom a cake walk"

[silk vigil]

Unenlightened fear the power of the warp.

[steel flame]

That's a funny one. They could at least TRY to lie

No effort these days

[narrow crane]

It's annoying cus it's the bombardment of those sentiments that is going to result in assail getting nerfed into oblivion, and it shouldn't.

[lofty temple]

Assail does need an ammo nerf

[olive ember]

yeah but lets be honest

its fatshark

[narrow crane]

It needs an uptime nerf

[lofty temple]

That's what I said

[narrow crane]

whether it be ammo or peril gen nerf, idc

[lofty temple]

Nah, needs to be ammo

Should be more like Vet shredder nades

Pop it out dump it on a horde and continue on

[narrow crane]

I don't understand people using it for horde

[lofty temple]

That's... its intended purpose

It's for gunpsykers

[frank moat]

I find Assail darts lose all tracking the instant you swap weapon, so if you want it to hit a mid range target you’ve gotta either quell peril for a second or throw another one and repeat, but if you have Quick Shards then waiting that second gives you an extra shard so you’re encouraged to chuck another

It’s poorly designed and discourages weapon swaps

[steel flame]

The funniest part is that these are the same people that didn't have an issue with vet doing this to psyker for over a yeae

[strong gulch]

Yeah it's been brought up that sometimes a marked target isn't getting highlit.

[steel flame]

That's just for force swords, they are wierd

[frank moat]

Wait what

[narrow crane]

what enemies do you consider "horde" here

[frank moat]

Wonder how that happens

[thin finch]

Gotta prove that claim

Even psyker admit that assail is too stronk

[shut breach]

Wait vet could empty an entire room just by holding M1?

Shit I didn't know that

Oh you just meant headshotting people

[lofty temple]

Poxwalkers, groaners and bruisers

[steel flame]

Source?: I made it the fuck up.

[shut breach]

Literally everyone could do that.

Ogryn could do that

[thin finch]

He had to press 2 button at the very least so clearly more balanced

[primal aurora]

Hey, is this good for something?

[narrow crane]

hard disagree on poxwalkers being the intended target for assail

[shut breach]

Stopping power too low it's trash

[thin finch]

It is for the left clicj

[shut breach]

IMo it's mostly for shooters

[thin finch]

Piercing 3 target and less effective against armored ennemy

[frank moat]

Replace all of Vet’s guns with old BB for the true launch experience thanks

[thin finch]

That' would be the right click with more precision even at long range

Well that's how I see it at least

[shut breach]

The fact that left click has enough ammo to wipe an entire horde is frankly obscene

[narrow crane]

wasting assail charges when Psyker has some of the best horde clear melee and staves in the game

[shut breach]

That and it doesn't scale at all. The damage it's doing to the new player ecosystem is ridic

[thin finch]

I am more of a smite psyker with DD or warp stack anyway

[shut breach]

Assail shouldn't be as good as a gun, it's infinite ammo

[narrow crane]

new player ecosystem has far worse things to worry about than assail LMAO

tf

[steel flame]

Can we at least have one horde clear blitz so I'm not punished for using single target weapons PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD?

[thin finch]

Currently not really ,assail is the biggest ,more visible one

[narrow crane]

I think that people complaining on here and reddit is not even relatively close to what the average new player is thinking about

[reef nacelle]

it deserve nerf

[thin finch]

Anyway I've set foot in Malice and it just felt weird so New Player environnement ain't my good talking point

[shut breach]

Leveled a new char recently and holy shit the assail is hillarious there

Literally 3 people with nothing to do

since crushers and maulers barely spawn

[reef nacelle]

yes

[shut breach]

and there just isn't even enough flak armor to slow it down

[olive ember]

what difficulty are you even playing on

[narrow crane]

see this right here is the actual problem 😭

[primal plume]

emprah gave me this sword. is it good?

[steel flame]

This is annoying because In auric damnation is just another piece of kit but down for everyone else it's the be all end all.

[narrow crane]

fucking new players hop in malice for a few games and think they understand how things work

[thin finch]

I am a damnation enjoyer.
Mainly auric except when I need money

[olive ember]

not you just

the guy says barely any maulers spawn

[primal aurora]

I often play auric herecy and I don't understand how things work

[olive ember]

meanwhile I'm dealing with "oops 10 crushers, 10 maulers" every 3 waves

[shut breach]

How many maulers spawn in diff 2?

lol

[olive ember]

yeah that explains alot

[narrow crane]

👑

[shut breach]

Did you even read the part with "new player"

[thin finch]

On malice and lower ?
I don't believe you

[steel flame]

Not a dam thing should ever be balanced around malice difficulty

[shut breach]

Fucking read
