psyker-class

[molten schooner]

Good for trying it out and my first one 🙂

Thanks mate

[severe folio]

feels right

[mighty fractal]

I'll admit, summoning pretty blue columns of warp fire would get me to use a Corsuscation staff in this game

https://i.gyazo.com/bf8e0ff92ba37da0f71048a1dd92a0e1.png

damn

speaking of illisis

[regal musk]

Make it the special for the Prgation stick instead of the bonk lol
Massive peril and place a flaming tornado for a few seconds XD

[mighty fractal]

I'd love that

[lament sonnet]

good for the illisi ?

[severe folio]

i think so

[lapis kraken]

what melee yall prefer? force swords? crowd control? armor piercing?

[feral verge]

Nope

[severe folio]

i like force sword

[mossy sundial]

mk4 duelling sword mostly

[severe folio]

but i am expanding my melee variety

[limber heath]

mk4 duelling is fun

[grand viper]

Axe

[severe folio]

right now im fiddling with the mk4 dueling sword

next is the devil claw

with its parry mechanic

[limber heath]

dclaw is fun

[severe folio]

woth investing, this gun ?

[grand viper]

Mk2 combat axe has finesse

[viscid matrix]

its alright, not the best weapon, but not the worst

[limber heath]

you want vark 3 generally for gunker

[severe folio]

i see

[viscid matrix]

Vraks III and Kantreal XII are the 2 guns you want

[severe folio]

oh vark 3

ok

[tacit urchin]

burst headhunters are great at wasting ammo aint they

[limber heath]

vraks*

[viscid matrix]

the 3 pistols are also pretty good

[severe folio]

l;ike this ?

[narrow crane]

dueling sword

[viscid matrix]

yep thats a pretty good one, just need Deadly Accurate and Headhunter blessings

[tacit urchin]

Think we'll see different MK variants for the staves?

[narrow crane]

not anytime soon

[viscid matrix]

maybe in like 3 years

[tacit urchin]

Is there any precedent in 40k for cryokinesis

[narrow crane]

I don't think we're seeing more than a balance patch before 2024

[tacit urchin]

that's less than 2 months 🤷‍♂️

[viscid matrix]

i doubt we will get a balance patch before 2024

[tacit urchin]

time just keeps going faster

[narrow crane]

yeah and then they go on holiday, which is fair, but I think 2023 has essentially been capped off with patch 13.

[tacit urchin]

slightly more than 2 months even.

[next heart]

what's the base crit chance of voidstrike

[keen pawn]

anyone having issues with the scoreboard not showing bosses killed

it just shows damage

[narrow crane]

yeah it doesnt count boss kills ever

it's bugged

[zinc phoenix]

Psyker constantly whines about it being cold and shoots shards of ice, not a stretch that there are similar staff oriented skills

[primal plume]

Smite + Creeping Flames is pretty fun

[primal plume]

Thats just a psyker thing in general. Warp energy saps heat and Psykers can become cold when channeling it

[mighty fractal]

I think Psykers from Fenris can use bio-ice or something similar

[primal plume]

Thats why frost accumulates at the edges of our screen when near a Demon Host

[zinc phoenix]

Indeed

[mighty fractal]

But it's probably either retconned or in an old old edition

[zinc phoenix]

Now they use biowolf

[mighty fractal]

WOLFPACK

[zinc phoenix]

And ice wolf

[mighty fractal]

when pyschic wolves, Fatshark

[zinc phoenix]

WOLF WOLFINIUS OF RHE WOLFPACK

[regal musk]

Space Wolf Rune Priests are a bit different to normal Psykers lol

[zinc phoenix]

FIRST WOLF OF THE WOLF WOLVES

[mighty fractal]

Oh is that a Space Wolf thing specifically

[zinc phoenix]

They’ve retconned the name to WOLF WOLVES

[tacit urchin]

is a support force staff a terrible concept? buff the other players

[narrow crane]

eh

[zinc phoenix]

Yss ex

[narrow crane]

what would it do

[mighty fractal]

iirc our current force shield/dome was datamined as being a staff

last year or so

[zinc phoenix]

The entire point of the game is to kill shit

[mighty fractal]

Assail was also a staff I think

[zinc phoenix]

You need ways to kill shit

[mighty fractal]

or, at least, it was also datamined but not being attached to any psyker weapon in particular

[narrow crane]

yeah I mean people complain about zealots buff being lame as shit

[zinc phoenix]

It’s really great and I use it

[mighty fractal]

Chorus is busted

People just don't use it because they have to channel it

[cloud sequoia]

revolver psyker is real

[narrow crane]

it's good, but boring

[zinc phoenix]

It is and I love it

[mighty fractal]

At least, I don't see it much in Damnation+

[zinc phoenix]

I use it there but I don’t play my zealot much

[toxic forge]

Worth or nah

[grand viper]

How does cowboy psyker work

[zinc phoenix]

Everything has to sit down and you heal everyone’s toughness and give them +100 toughness and a buttload of damage and DR

[mighty fractal]

Stunlocking all specials and elites in range, stunlocking bosses, ledging bosses, giving everyone invuln and overshields, either a damage buff or toughness damage reduction buff

[zinc phoenix]

It’s nuts

[mighty fractal]

It's got a ton of utility

Yeah

[narrow crane]

support tools are only attractive if they still allow you to kill shit a little bit while using it. people would rather just kill more stuff

[zinc phoenix]

Oh yeah making bosses BTFO is so gold

[mighty fractal]

and you get to hear your old scottish man yell SCUNNER

[tacit urchin]

I still second guess whether I can walk in fire when there's a zealot throwing their glorified (pun intended) molotovs

[mighty fractal]

or young scottish woman

I use both

[tacit urchin]

everyone says its a different color but I just see fire

[zinc phoenix]

need to make the fire blue

[mighty fractal]

Zealot fire is a yellowish color and the flames are shorter

[narrow crane]

no

[mighty fractal]

It does blend very well into bomber/flamethrower fire, though

[narrow crane]

it's bricked

[tacit urchin]

me with my oversaturated cartoony monitor settings

[zinc phoenix]

I love the fire nade and I mix it up all the time 😂

[mighty fractal]

it's probably also hard to see on certain maps

like the desert maps

[tacit urchin]

sometimes a bomber dies to it and it's just stacked fire

[zinc phoenix]

It’s a great idea but I think they should change it

TBH the big thing I’d love for them to add are BG3 style comboing from elemental fields

[mighty fractal]

That's probably why they changed the zealot's nade from the fire nade seen in its trailer to the stun nade we got on launch

[zinc phoenix]

So you can shoot thru a fire field and your bullets cause burning

[mighty fractal]

Speaking of which

it's funny how psyker can't infuse their guns with warp energy

or use precog bullets, etc

[zinc phoenix]

Las pistol

Force push on it

[mighty fractal]

probably too much design/dev time needed to make unique psyker guns

Oh yeah at least the las pistol has that

[zinc phoenix]

Still shit tho

May as well be shooting mobs with a water pistol for all the good it does

[cosmic sigil]

There's a mod to change the colors no?

[keen pawn]

when is aquilas store cycling to the next crap

[cosmic sigil]

That's not a bg3 thing, but the big Larian thing in all their games (and broken af sometimes)

[keen pawn]

reminds me of yesterday

when everything was on fire

and I quote "what is this, Divinity 2?"

[limber heath]

alright but why would you care who last-hits a boss

[zinc phoenix]

I’m a no mod guy

[keen pawn]

I wanted to know how many we killed, not who last hit it

been in games where 8 bosses showed up

[limber heath]

ic, would the game not get confused during maelstroms with the weakened monstrosities

[keen pawn]

those are still considered bosses

even weakened

I turned off the stat though, because it's definitely not working

[steel flame]

ah yes the oil barrel fight

oh the pain

a scar i will carry with me forever more

[severe folio]

i dont think its worth it mostly because its not 360, or 370

[steel flame]

i sent ya my build

let me know if it works for you

[severe folio]

good idea

[steel flame]

its kinda a hyper aggressive build to be sure

[severe folio]

wait did you sent it

[toxic forge]

I mean idk if rampage 4 is good or not to

I would just get it to grab the blessing

[spice veldt]

you could do rampage memes since it currently gives 2x damage for whatever reason instead of 1.36x that you'd expect from the listed power

whether this is practical to achieve in a game, I do not know (I haven't run rampage on MK4)
but observe https://streamable.com/0xpve1

[primal plume]

Does Creeping flames do more damage than Warp Rupture but over a long period?

[steel flame]

yeah i dm'd you

[mossy sundial]

how do i get tier 4 blessings?

[cyan notch]

be level 30 and get lucky

[mossy sundial]

oh wait rolls are tied to level

?

[narrow crane]

for base stats yes

[mossy sundial]

for blessings tho?

[narrow crane]

blessings are tied to base stats, T4 blessings pop most often at 360+

[wispy iris]

wait weapon stats matter for blessings?

💀

[narrow crane]

yes

[wispy iris]

lol fuck me

[narrow crane]

you can still roll T4 with lower stats, but 360+ seems to be most consistent

and it's still rare as shit

[wispy iris]

does the level of the weapon affect it also?

blue vs orange for higher tier blessings

[narrow crane]

yeah you wanna be rolling gold

[wispy iris]

yea thought so

[paper fern]

Why does smite even do any damage if it literally does like. 5 damage.

[uncut hamlet]

if you charge it, it does like 15!

[paper fern]

it's balanced because you don't have to use it

[uncut hamlet]

lmaooo

[steel flame]

spend exorbitant amounts of resources, anyone that tells you otherwise is lying

its all one big fuckin slot machine baby

god i hate crafting new weapons

[hardy coral]

i dont quite understand the benifit of getting Rampage on a dueling sword that only hits 1 target at a time.

[limber heath]

not sure about mk5 but mk4 lights very easily cleave groups. Would I use rampage on them? probably not, but as arco posted earlier it does give a crazy damage boost

[spice veldt]

all duelling swords have a cleave limit of at most 2 on attacks except the push-attack

[steel flame]

Push attack to get stacks then proceed to murder

[spice veldt]

mk2 is the cleave variant, but it also has only 2 cleave

[hardy coral]

wait.. pushing counts as hitting multiple targets?

[spice veldt]

nah not the push

the push-attack

when you hold down LMB instead of tapping it

[hardy coral]

the push attack is a poke.

ohh

[molten schooner]

hey boys

[limber heath]

wrong weapon maybe? you're using a mk5

[spice veldt]

the push-attack has 6 cleave but peepee poopoo damage, so you'd use that to proc rampage

[molten schooner]

which one of those?

[hardy coral]

the Mk V is the only good one ive gotten thus far.

[limber heath]

they're all not worth upgrading, get one at 360+ power at least

[spice veldt]

unfortunately, the mk4 is the only DS that got properly buffed during this round, so its heavies are noticeably better than the other two duelling swords

[steel flame]

Oh hey @spice veldt I finally got dumdum 4 on my laspistol. Talk about a dps upgrade that shit shreds

[spice veldt]

i don't talk to crack addicts

[hardy coral]

i wish they'd have different attack patterns you could switch between.

[molten schooner]

sounds good

[steel flame]

Immeasurably complex

[spice veldt]

how long were you fishing for dumdum4

i got my ass beat trying to get warp flurry 4 on vstrike

[steel flame]

Oh about 6 months

On and off

[spice veldt]

pain

[steel flame]

Ikr

It was the very last t4 I needed too

The way it's stacks decay is wierd

The longer you keep hitting the longer it takes for the stacks to decay

It's wierd

[primal plume]

is it me or is this really "meh"

200 damage isnt really much compared to the alternative

[steel flame]

Have you run it much?

[primal plume]

I did just now

it felt like it underperformed compared to creeping flames

[steel flame]

I'll keep that in mind. I haven't worked my way over to that part of the skill tree

[crude cape]

which of these 3 is the best you guys think? im guessing def not the 61% dmg + precog one lol
I can change reposte/rampage on the other two if needed too

[steel flame]

My crack addict brain is still fixated on the crit tree rn

[steel flame]

The first one

Rending negates the low penetration

[crude cape]

the 67% pen one? i was sort of expecting the middle one to be called.
Any reason why? and what should i do with that top blessing? Dueling sword feels like combat knife, so many viable blessings now its kinda nuts

[steel flame]

I didn't see rampage

2

[crude cape]

ive been liking riposte on recommendation from Arco.
but I feel like 2-3 maybe 4 other blessings would be viable in that spot

[crude cape]

I can put rampage on the first, both those top blessings are swappable so

ive been questioning if rampage is the best perk tho

crit, finnesse dmg, weakpoint dmg perks etc are all tempting

[left turtle]

Fun moment when all these Assail psykers are making my friend who just picked up the game find it incredibly boring

[steel flame]

Hey @spice veldt does the Mk4 heavy stabs have cleave? It feels like it has cleave but I'm too lazy to test

[crude cape]

i dont think it does, personally. ive tried a few times and only get 1 zombie kill

but i can't confirm

could be wrong

I was trying reposte on arco's reccomendation and i dont dislike it

[steel flame]

Im looking forward to assail nerf so I can continue using it the way I already do without people shitting on assail

[crude cape]

just not sure like, is it better than shred? precog is nice for bosses (which is what i often do, poke bosses, since so much of our stuff sucks vs bosses now), rampage is obviously good, i've heard great things about Agile,

literally every blessing seems viable

im so torn

[spice veldt]

they have 1 cleave iirc

[steel flame]

Sigh

[spice veldt]

is very sad

[left turtle]

i just want it brought in line, i dont wanna see it gutted but, fuck dude, you can halfway check out mentally and still win with an assail psyker

[crude cape]

ya im not using it

bc of its bad rep/crutch

[cyan notch]

its a poke it shouldnt have more cleave

[crude cape]

im using old BB build mostly and it feels GREAT. the double BB speedup trigger is insane

[steel flame]

Procog triggers off the crit dodge ranged attacks perk

So it makes a loop

I like loops

[steel flame]

I'd be down for 3-5 max ammo

[left turtle]

i think all they need to do is gut its damage versus flak and maniac, make it purely a horde mulcher

[spice veldt]

no

[steel flame]

Pls god no

[spice veldt]

i do not want assail to be purely hordeclear

[left turtle]

smite=CC
Assail=Crowd Clear
BB=Priority target

[spice veldt]

that is just not fun

[steel flame]

Not at all

[left turtle]

well it sure as fuck isnt fun right now either

so much its draining everyone elses fun in the match

[steel flame]

The ammo is the issue

[spice veldt]

not fun -> not fun is not my goal

not fun -> fun is my goal

[steel flame]

Not it's ability to kill maniac/flak

[left turtle]

so it should be a swiss army knife and kill anything and everything (besides carapace), just, make it a little slower at it?

thats your idea of bringing it in line?

[unique mist]

everyone's problem with assail is its spammability

just reduce how quick shards regen

[spice veldt]

what do you mean "little"

[unique mist]

either by a flat amount or a dynamic amount

[spice veldt]

the numbers I'd personally set would be 3 max with a noticeably slower regen

ammo really is just the way to go about as the first step to nerfing assail

Assail should just be a quickswap weapon

[unique mist]

one idea i had which i'm sure everybody has heard by this point was make shards not regen at high peril. another may be shards don't regen while throwing them and have a regen cooldown from the last shard thrown

[left turtle]

so how does it set apart from BB then if it still can quickly pop anything

[unique mist]

three??

"quickly" pop "anything"

[spice veldt]

less range and not as good against bulwarks/crushers/maulers

and you don't need to have Assail held out

you can throw a shard -> swap back to your other weapons

this is what I mean by quickswap

[steel flame]

And multitarget

[left turtle]

yeah it just sounds like it'll keep BB obsolete in comparison

[unique mist]

what the hell is one shard going to do

[spice veldt]

i mean that's just the inherent design of BB?

[left turtle]

or the inherent overpowered design of assail

[spice veldt]

why are you blaming assail like it has anything with how BB was designed

[steel flame]

Bb has always been a burden

[left turtle]

BB is perfectly fine, its just dragged down by a comically overpowered assail

[unique mist]

bb has always been basically shit lol

[spice veldt]

and what do you think we're proposing right now

[unique mist]

they need to improve its targeting and make it so you dont waste peril on enemies that die before it pops

[left turtle]

make it slightly weaker but still do BB's job but better

[unique mist]

and make it so precharging bb generates peril but not on headpop

and besides my guy, bb is outclassed by voidstrike anyway

[left turtle]

BB should be target priority
Smite should be Control
Assail should be clear.

Its that simple. but yall wanna keep a swiss army knife

[spice veldt]

BB is always going to be left behind because of its anti-carapace

[unique mist]

maybe even trauma

[spice veldt]

well, we're making it a swiss army knife that's worse against carapace

and with significantly less ammo than it currently has

I don't know why you keep implying that we're keeping it as is

when I've remarked on nerfing its ammo economy significantly

[left turtle]

im implying youre not doing enough to its nerfing

[tired jackal]

this is dank yes?

[spice veldt]

well I'm only remarking on general numbers

3 shards and what, at least 4-7 seconds per shard to come back

I think that limits its DPS output by a significant amount

because currently, you can burst through 10 shards at once, and they come back every 1.4s with Ethereal Shards

[north cradle]

You should be using Assail only if you have a method of dealing with Ogryns, Maulers, and bosses. Surge Staff or Voidstrike are good complementary weapons

[steel flame]

So you want it to be a worse purgatus then? Won't do shit in damnation

[spice veldt]

I think you are underestimating how much its ammo economy is propping up Assail as a primary weapon

[north cradle]

If you are encountering enough Elites and not spending the Empowered freebies on Specialists at least

[reef oasis]

I don't play psyker much... what do I want to replace the blazing soul with... I'm leaning towards transfer peril but dunno how consistently I hit weakspots, or could do warp nexus for the crit... surge seems unlikely given I don't think I'd crit that much without WN.

[spice veldt]

i wonder what you would do with assail's EP effect with a nerf to its ammo economy

[steel flame]

If people can't just keep assail out indefinitely, assail stops being problematic

[left turtle]

if you reduce its ammo but keep its effective versus every enemy type than you just have a more effective BB, youll be reducing its ability to clear area. but sniper out priority targets

WHICH IS LITERALLY BB'S JOB, SO YOU NEED TO SET IT APART

[spice veldt]

I'd just buff BB at that point

and having some overlap isn't strictly bad

I'd rather not have a blitz dedicated to hordeclear, either way

[left turtle]

balancing things by making everything overpowered is the most dumbest way of balancing possible

[north cradle]

BB needs a buff anyway. I can't one-shot Dreg Gunners without being Empowered, which feels really bad

[spice veldt]

but we're not making it overpowered?

nerfing it to 3 max shards and increasing the regen by a good amount is a hefty nerf to it

You really are underestimating how the ammo economy of Assail plays into how people currently use it

[lyric burrow]

i think knife stealth zealots that just run ahead and aggro everything without fighting anything might the only players i block

[spice veldt]

imagine if the current bolter had 45 ammo instead of 15 in a mag

[left turtle]

it wouldnt be "Some overlap" it would still just be better BB

[north cradle]

Can confirm, I spam Assail because it's really easy to use and quick to recover

Now Veteran knows how we felt at launch

[spice veldt]

i mean what areas does it overlap in

because I could say that guns are a better BB

[north cradle]

Guns are a better BB lol

[spice veldt]

I don't get why you keep sticking onto the "better BB" when I could just say that guns are better at BB lmao

given that you are evidently ignoring "anti-carapace" as a criteria

[steel flame]

I can do that as crit psyker for you if you want instead, I'm very good at it

[lyric burrow]

i would prefer you didnt lol

[north cradle]

Pre-patch, I would absolutely dominate the scoreboard on Elite and Specialist kills with BB as my primary weapon

[lyric burrow]

thats like the first time ive gotten actually upset at people on this game

[modest pasture]

You should have to be able to at the bare minimum target something for it to hone in. If it free-flies, it should have its tracking ability reduced.

[regal musk]

BB should always have just been % max health per second while charging on a target.

[spice veldt]

and like I said, nerfing its ammo economy would prevent you from just bursting specials down

and I will repeat this--you are underestimating how much Assail's current ammo economy is propping it up as a primary weapon

If you could only throw 3 shards at a time, that would be a non-deterministic kill on a Trapper without buffs (750 bodyshot damage total)

[modest pasture]

Its Especially annoying when you are TRYING to do penances and they keep stealing Specials to murk.

[steel flame]

It has shorter reload than revolver rn .......and 10 shots

That qualifies as a primary weapon

[spice veldt]

and reloads while you're doing other stuff 😔

[steel flame]

That too

[spice veldt]

its ammo economy is actually so stupid

[thorn cedar]

The recharge node is actually pointless it already regens so quickly

[regal musk]

Im wondering how effective itd be if you changed it so you had to manually charge peril to gain charges lol

[spice veldt]

only thing is that it's on the gunker side of the tree

so I don't want any interplay with peril in that regard

[steel flame]

I don't like clunky mechanics

[regal musk]

No, i mean like you have to manually create them and doing so makes peril lol

[spice veldt]

o

regenerating them during downtime

[steel flame]

Personally....I hate it

[spice veldt]

i'd be fine with it

[steel flame]

I don't need another weapon to forget to reload

[spice veldt]

but I think a simple always-regenning but significantly slower sustained regen would be better?

I'm not sure

[regal musk]

Small stock, manual recharge. Rather than fast auto regen basically

[broken ore]

how're people feeling about the odds of voidstrike nerf

[tired jackal]

this is worth getting right? not sure about dueling sword perks/blessings

[steel flame]

It would make it really shite in sustained engagements......which is just the entire mission in auric

But I like the idea for smite

[narrow crane]

100%

it's happening

[steel flame]

Let's make smite players have to reload

Reload their lightning hands

[narrow crane]

Rampage isn't good on that

base stats are good

[atomic zephyr]

i would buy it and reroll the blessings if they both suck

the perks are decent

weak spot dmg works towards the HS stabs

[narrow crane]

perks are fine, not bricked

[left turtle]

i got those 2 perks on my dueling sword and its felt great, 1 shot muties

[tired jackal]

im assuming uncanny and precot/riposte/shred for blessings?

[narrow crane]

uncanny shred for me

I don't fuck with the dodge blessings, but they're not awful I guess

[left turtle]

i run precog/riposte

[dull osprey]

hey guys

[spice veldt]

I like my pecrog/riposte as well

[dull osprey]

does the venting talent can be used to save u after u go over 100 peril and start the animation like before talent update?

[spice veldt]

precog being the higher bonus but shorter duration one

[dull osprey]

i mean the venting ult on F

[wispy iris]

whats the easiest way to do the cliffhanger penance?

[tired jackal]

kk thx all

[narrow crane]

yes

[broken ore]

what is the last change i even make on this

[olive ember]

there is no ez way

suffer

[dull osprey]

it has any supplementary talent or u it just works before the patch?

[narrow crane]

unyielding to max or weakpoint damage

[olive ember]

you already have it easy you only have to push 7 enemies off

[atomic zephyr]

precog might help more than riposte, 20% crit is a lot if you keep stacking crit, otherwise, you may not really feel it, at least precog gives a flat 50%? to finesse, which is atk sped?

[olive ember]

I had to do 20 smh

[paper fern]

get friends

[wispy iris]

YEA BUT WHERE

caps

[paper fern]

hardest penance tbh

[wispy iris]

oop

[broken ore]

weakpoint damage? i thought it was terrible, is it because of finesse

[olive ember]

https://youtu.be/8cU_jq3IAis?feature=shared

[narrow crane]

not sure what youre asking, you can start the peril explosion animation, wait about 3 seconds, and still vent

[olive ember]

you can try that area

its soloable

but

gl

[wispy iris]

istg this place doesnt exist anymore

[spice veldt]

they use "Finesse" as both the stat modifier;
But, Finesse, as a stat modifier, affects crit/weakspot power and usually attack speed on weapons.
"Finesse Damage", as a stat given by talents and blessings, affects only crit/weakspot dmg

[dull osprey]

thats what i meant ty

[olive ember]

does it not?

anyone eles wanna confirm

[narrow crane]

[olive ember]

I haven't done psyker penances since like january

[spice veldt]

+60% Finesse is equivalent to +60% Weakspot Damage & +60% Critical Damage

[paper fern]

I still have no god damn clue what finesse, impact, whatever the hell all of that means

[limber heath]

recommended changes? i assume ditch terrifying and cdmg

[paper fern]

swap to voidstrike

[limber heath]

would blazing spirit be slottable

[atomic zephyr]

i'd take that over the riposte probably

[wispy iris]

I tried going just before and the bridge looks diff

[dull osprey]

terryfing barrage ugh

[narrow crane]

barrage goes into the garbage

[spice veldt]

i like riposte for when I whiff a mutant shot and I get +20% crit when shanking him in the back

but I think precog is overall better for melee/monstrosity maelstrom

[dull osprey]

change barrage to peril resist or dmg talent and ur gucchi

or some people like the charge speed

makes the lightning staff like a quickdraw weapon

[limber heath]

is blazing spirit ever a funny meme you could run or not worth on surge

[dull osprey]

since last patch? eh

surge is kinda a single target facemelter atm

it completely 180°-d with the patch

[kind jay]

can hit 3 targets with smite node

[dull osprey]

ye but the dmg drop off is bg

big

deals next to no damage on 3rd target

[kind jay]

i don't see a damage drop

unless it doesn't work that way in grinder

idk

[olive ember]

its a huge damage drop what

it only significantly damages first target

2nd target gets tickled 3rd idek

"significantly" damages isn't even that good

[dull osprey]

bro eyes >_>

[kind jay]

yeah it's not an issue

[olive ember]

its a 3 shot crusher unless you jump through like 5 different hoops and get lucky and then maybe you 2 shot a single crusher

[dull osprey]

[olive ember]

so eh

[dull osprey]

it is an issue cuz

the staff went from a screen wide cc to a single target death laser

tho i understand the reason behind it

u already have 3 staffs which deals with crowds

[olive ember]

its to differentiate between surge staff and smite

[dull osprey]

so they were kinda overlapping

[olive ember]

which now does what surge staff did

[kind jay]

i mean i can still cc 3 specials at a time while doing damage

[olive ember]

its CC is dog now

[dull osprey]

thats true but

[olive ember]

I'd rather just take trauma

[dull osprey]

u better take the charge up

and just kill them in the same time

[olive ember]

it can hit 3 enemies at most, and yet it can't even stun a mutant reliably

genuinely would be better off using a trauma or even a purge staff for CC

[kind jay]

sure it can just quickcast twice

[olive ember]

when theres 4 muties running me down I want to stun it the first time like it used to

which I guess smite does now

but

surge staff is just mid

[dull osprey]

surge staff is pretty good with smite tho

[olive ember]

damage is meh, 1 target at a time, CC is unreliable

[kind jay]

you're just gonna pull out mk4 anyways

who cares what staff at that point

[olive ember]

I mean true

[dull osprey]

u can reliably blast 1 elite for a passive stack to get the juicy 0 peril lightning

[jolly hawk]

I saw a off hand post about void strike being broken?

[olive ember]

0 peril lightning is a bug n a half

[olive ember]

voidstrike is overtuned as shit rn

if you build it properly it can one shot crushers

and decimate hordes on its way there

[narrow crane]

off hand post lmfao

it's all anyone talks about

[jolly hawk]

Build?

[olive ember]

normal voidstrike staff, slap on warp nexus and surge blessings

tada it can now one shot assuming you have damage stats

and then grab true aim and assail in your tree so you get free crit every 5 headshots

[dull osprey]

bro ppl are telling this but thats just natural in FS games

[jolly hawk]

[dull osprey]

u really cant tell where bugs end and mechanics beginds

[olive ember]

its a bug, doesn't say in the tooltip, theres no way they expect your gameplay to just be hold rmb and lmb for the entire match as you walk through hordes

if it isn't a bug then they are stupid

but who knows fatshark moment amirite

[dull osprey]

as i said

vt2 has the same "features" where half the tooltips have hidden/wrong/not complete info

[olive ember]

probably but its stupid and no way thats intended gameplay behavior

if it is intended then idk wtf the devs are smoking

[olive ember]

if you want a feat tree

this also works

[regal musk]

Rate this thing lol.
Sadly ... Those are basically the only 2 staff blessings i have outside of the suppression one ... because the game absolutely refuses to put staves in rewards or the shops.

[wispy iris]

how should I complete warp wbattery?

[dull osprey]

@regal musk sell it junk 😄

[regal musk]

But then ill have no staff at all XD

[olive ember]

crit damage is oof, replace flurry with surge when you get a chance, idk if crit chance is worth over something like +maniac or +flak tbh

otherwise its aight

[regal musk]

Yeah, Surge is the one i would like. If i ever see it lol

[olive ember]

its a rare blessing cuz it only shows up as a t4

so yeah your best bet is to farm crafting mats and then spam craft voidstrike until you get lucky

[regal musk]

Oh cool, a super rare blessing on what is already essentially a 0.1% drop rate weapon lol

[olive ember]

you don't buy brunts?

[dense bramble]

Surge and flurry works better than warp nexus if youre using the guaranteed crit perk

[olive ember]

brunts armoury for grey voidstrike and then upgrade em to gold

[regal musk]

Dont have the dockets for it lol, onoly have 40k~ right now >_>

[olive ember]

ah rip

[regal musk]

I dont get a ton of time of time play between shifts sadly.

[olive ember]

yeah welcome to endgame darktide crafting

big rip

[dull osprey]

hell no, only to blue if u are just hunting for traits

more plasteel efficent

[olive ember]

?? pretty sure upgrading them to gold gives significantly higher chance to get t4 blessings

they changed it a few updates back did they not?

[dull osprey]

it was an urban legend which is still unconfirmed afaik

[olive ember]

I mean shit like this will never be confirmed

[dull osprey]

correct me if im wrong

[olive ember]

but idk the consensus iirc is upgrade to gold

[dense bramble]

I got surge and t4 flurry on the same staff.

[broken ore]

does anyone know the math behind higher base rating weapons giving higher chances of t4 as well?

[dense bramble]

Never seen t4/t3 blessings mixed

[olive ember]

@spice veldt @near wyvern you guys still awake? Do you upgrade to blue or gold to farm blessings

[spice veldt]

idk

[potent echo]

It does cost more, so maybe

[spice veldt]

i'd pick the option that balances out your resources

[regal musk]

I suppose the important quyestion about that stick of mine is .. Would you stab me if i showed up to a T5 with it lol

[spice veldt]

if you have more dockets, then spam blues

[spice veldt]

if you have more plasteel, then spam oranges

[olive ember]

its all wishy washy tbh

[dense bramble]

Ive not seen a weapon get a t3 blessing and then a t4

[potent echo]

And also, low weapon base ratings will mainly give T1-T2 blessings, so power rating and higher chance of T4 blessings should be correlated

[potent echo]

I've seen plenty of that

[olive ember]

I am pretty sure I have

[dense bramble]

Damn all my shit is t3 or t4

[wispy iris]

here an example

[dense bramble]

ok

Then its best to gold

[potent echo]

Perhaps

[dull osprey]

ofc

think about it u wont get a t4 on a 200 wep

if u are hunting t4 perk i wouldnt craft anything below 330

[snow coral]

What are the Mark IV blessings of choice?

[broken ore]

uh, i mean the exact math not just "higher = better"

[dull osprey]

bro dont oversweat stuff

[olive ember]

uncanny strike + precog/some other blessing iirc

[dull osprey]

its perfectly fine if u make a good wep with t3 blessings first

[rocky cedar]

Yo so finally getting round to trying post patch Psyker and no real idea where the balance is at with them. I was a blazing trauma enjoyer pre patch, but despite how much more crit chance I can stack now blazing trauma feels noticeably worse to me. Am I just tripping or what?

[spice veldt]

Uncanny Strike + Riposte/Shred/Precognition/Rampage(because it's bugged to give a ~2x damage increase instead of the 1.36x that you'd expect from the description)

[dull osprey]

that small difference between a t3 or t4 perk wont be the reason you wipe

[wispy iris]

someone's gotta have alot of mats to math it out :S

[broken ore]

unfortunately surge is t4 only so

[olive ember]

I tilt if I get trash teammates, so if you can perform well or even alright then idrc

[broken ore]

can't settle for 3

[snow coral]

Thanks, melk had one with precog and shred, sounds like you don't want both of those

[olive ember]

ofc having a good weapon helps with not performing like shit but

[olive ember]

I mean you could swap shred out for uncanny

[snow coral]

they were 3s and I don't know if I have any blessings stored, I'll look after this run

stats weren't great either so I don't know if I want it just to strip the blessing

[regal musk]

Fair. I do try to not suck lol
AMusingly the only damage i generally take when im casually doing mal;ice pub runs is when the team just walks past a bunch of mobs, activate sthem and just sprints off leaving the pile of mobs to turn on me instead lol

[steel flame]

I tilt if I get killed by poxburster bullshit 4 times in a mission ......not that that has ever happened before........just.. theoretically of course

[kind jay]

can't improve without doing

[spice veldt]

🙂

[eager token]

do i cop

[hollow current]

melks? seems worth rolling unless you can afford only one weapon from him.

[potent echo]

Unyielding carapace is decent

[eager token]

ye its at melks

[potent echo]

You can reroll both blessings if hadron gives you a bad one

So yea buy it I would say

If you manage to get T4 surge/flurry/nexus that's great too

[eager token]

time to ROLL

lmao fuck

[north cradle]

That's honestly not awful. Just replace both Blessings

[dull osprey]

eeeeeh

unyiellding and carapace

2 of the rarest type of enemy

with the least quantity

and hipfire yikes

[north cradle]

Have you seen Auric missions lately? Crushers and Bulwarks pop up like hotcakes

[dull osprey]

ye and?

not like staffs doesnt deal respectable dmg to begin with to those + you have plenty of tools for cc and shit

[north cradle]

The new damage model supports Unyielding and Carapace more than it used to

[dull osprey]

as in what? u not gonna shoot a monster with ur staff lmao

[north cradle]

What else are you supposed to use?

[dull osprey]

and at carapace its not the dmg which is important its the control tools

flak

allways flak

u cant make an argument on not to ever have flak

[north cradle]

No Monstrosities have Flak

[dull osprey]

but u dont use staffs vs monsters . . .

[ornate hamlet]

with voidstrike you do!

[narrow crane]

yes you do lmfao what the fuck

[north cradle]

What am I supposed to use? Melee isn't exactly Psyker's strong suit against monstrosities

[narrow crane]

Void, Trauma, Purge are all excellent

[dull osprey]

what u are supposed to do is to just clear horde and give space for others most of the time

[spice veldt]

not trauma against monstrosities

except the bonbon

[dull osprey]

there is a big chance u have a gungryn or zealot with facemelter builds in ur group

[dull osprey]

excellent is hard word

they are okay

[north cradle]

Horde enemies get deleted by Voidstrike because they're all Unarmoured and Infested. Look at the damage against both of them. They're over 300 damage at 80%

[dull osprey]

u need flak

not unarmed and infested 😂

flak puts most of the flaks down form 3 hits to 2 thats big

[narrow crane]

Void staggers monsters, and does insane damage. Purge does crazy DoT to monsters. And if you run Rending Shockwave on trauma, you apply brittleness to monsters while staggering pretty much everything next to it so you can give ogryns and zealots more breathing room.

that is far from "okay"

[north cradle]

Exactly, you don't want Unarmoured and Infested perks on an 80%. Flak is nice for Scab Gunners, but you're aiming for the Unarmoured head on Scab Bruisers who get toppled over easily if you miss. You know what else will deal with Flak enemies though? Assail.

[dull osprey]

compare that to any thammer build from zealots or any zealot using the tesco shade ult

[north cradle]

Until Assail gets nerfed hard enough to be discouraged, having an option for dealing with Carapace and Unyielding enemies, the things Assail are weak against, are great for covering your bases

[dull osprey]

tahts true tho

[olive ember]

(He means voidstrike)

[narrow crane]

that wasn't the question, the question was whether you should be using staffs on monsters, and you absolutely should

[dull osprey]

well we agree to disagree then

[olive ember]

Staffs on bosses is ehh

[dull osprey]

imo sykers are not spectacular vs monsters in any setup mainly u should be the one fending off nearby chaff to give space for the guys to mince the bosses

[olive ember]

Except maybe voidstrike psure duelling sword 4 does more damage

[dull osprey]

no reason to start charging ur staff when if u give 10 seconds to a zealot they'Ll melt the monsters by themselves

[north cradle]

I would not use anything other than staves because Beast of Nurgle can tail swipe me, and Chaos Spawn can grab me and whack me into my buddies

[dull osprey]

really how hard is it to dodge the tail and spawn ? 😂

[narrow crane]

you can use a staff to attack monsters and deal with the horde for the other damage dealers for your team, incredible value

[north cradle]

The Beast of Nurgle tail is its fastest attack.

[steel flame]

We should send him back to the last patch

[north cradle]

Not to mention that it's unpredictable because it can be facing one guy, but then immediately change its targeting to swipe you away

[olive ember]

Assail is broken pls buff

It doesn’t vaporize everything I look at smh

[wispy iris]

is this doomed

[north cradle]

Show me the damage breakdowns?

[steel flame]

Well considering it didn't exist in the last update .......

[olive ember]

[north cradle]

Your staff is probably salvageable with some perks, but you need some good Blessings too

[wispy iris]

yea nah

[north cradle]

Show me the full thing brah

And its damage breakdowns

Don't be shy

[olive ember]

Be very shy

I judge everyone on everything

[north cradle]

Okay Zealot

[olive ember]

If your opinion doesn’t line up with mine exactly

[rocky cedar]

Has anyone found a blazing trauma skill tree that feels good to them?

[olive ember]

I haven’t rly used blazing trauma tbh

I got a pretty sick purge staff tree

[snow coral]

what are these bullet symbols for?

[north cradle]

I don't think I've seen that before. Mod?

[snow coral]

maybe? I'm only running UI ones mostly. I did have the 'full auto' installed but that seems to be broken since the last update

[left mirage]

likely the fullauto mod maybe

ive never seen those pop up

[north cradle]

I never used it myself

Oof VIIa?

[left mirage]

at least its not a 2

[north cradle]

Fair

[left mirage]

6 is king, 7 is weird

2 is no

[strong gulch]

Who needs keystones?? 😂

[left mirage]

vet needs keystones

really fucking badly lmao

[dull osprey]

its not unpredictable ...protipp: once a monster finishes its current attack animation pre-block/dodge and assume it will turn on u , thank me later

[strong gulch]

vets?? this is psyker things (also valid)

[dull osprey]

dmg 63% yikes on void

[strong gulch]

This honestly didn't feel bad.

[left mirage]

ye, i personally always grab either empowered or warpcharges on psyk

they're too good to give up

[north cradle]

I like the firing noise on the VIIa, that's about it

[left mirage]

but the lower right keystone is so garbage it doesnt exist

[snow coral]

so... mk IV vs V, and what's the dump stat?

[wispy iris]

o ok

[dull osprey]

its good with gun/melee syker builds

[wispy iris]

i found it

[olive ember]

Bottom right keystone might be useable with the duration extension

[wispy iris]

but doomed

[olive ember]

The 30s duration instead of 15 base but eh

[dull osprey]

thing is u kinda want both the talent behind it but they are exclusive

still if u have good perks/rolls the right side can produce some giga big brain gun/sword build which are super strong

[left mirage]

why the fuck is its unique effect to reduce peril on kill then

[north cradle]

I don't think Disrupt Destiny is worth it at all honestly

[left mirage]

its so ass

[left mirage]

it should be a guaranteed per second, not chance

[strong gulch]

I don't like playing around the bugs. Infinite shields or shocks and what not.

[wispy iris]

almost good

[dull osprey]

becuase u dont use the peril for anything with gun builds and thats exactly the point u prolong the duration

[left mirage]

ye true

[dull osprey]

scryer ends on 100 peril

[north cradle]

Yeesh okay

[dull osprey]

if u prolong it by reducing u get more duration

[left mirage]

ah i see

[dull osprey]

kinda like vet F where u can prolong it by a long if u hit hte key targets for refresh

@left mirage wait a sec

[left mirage]

so its only good with gaze + gunpsyk

i dont use gaze either tbh so i wouldnt know

[olive ember]

Eh not rly cuz vet F can be extended indefinitely

Scriers gaze peril gen increases over time until you just can’t sustain it

[north cradle]

So I can only see one path to making this thing workable. Replace Infested with Flak and replace Sustained Fire with Warp Nexus

[left mirage]

you can with the +quell speed but at that point you're literally just quelling lmao

free toughness tho

[dull osprey]

eh idk where it is

someone linked like 4 different showcase of gunsyker with the right sotne

my buddy uses the rend build iwth it on the dueling sword

[strong gulch]

Assail and smite feel pretty good with blaze trauma. I like the crit aura and all of the top part of the toughness passives at the top compliment the staff.

Edit to add that gaze would not be great because you effectively can't use the staff with peril climbing quickly. Blaze trauma needs you to be at high peril for the crit chance on nexus. Gaze could work for melee maybe, but it doesn't synergize with warp heavy attacks.

[wispy iris]

brother ill just wait and make a decent one i think 😭

[north cradle]

Maniac is good for Flamers and Mutants, so don't discard it entirely

Oh and Dreg Ragers

Terrifying Barrage I think has its benefits. Close Range is like 8m?

[left mirage]

the range increases based on bless level

so i think its 8m at 4

[north cradle]

The suppression range is. But I'm talking about how it's triggered to begin with

[olive ember]

Unless they changed it close ranged goes up to 15m

[left mirage]

ye ye

so as long as you're killing within 8m you get free cc

[dull osprey]

oh ye and btw u can try assail with the right side talents too

it makes it peril heavy but the damage is nuts

[north cradle]

I uhhhh would not recommend

That's an easy way to explode

[left mirage]

i tried it but its a bit too high risk moderate reward

yeah

[dull osprey]

nonoo dont belive him

u can kill by exploding too

emprah be praised

[left mirage]

lol

id just run emp'd assail if i was running it

[dull osprey]

cowards

[left mirage]

or warp charge shield spam assail

lmao

[dull osprey]

other problems is for some reason all the peril resist stuff is on the left side making it hard to branch between those and t he right keystone

assume its intentional

[left mirage]

idk if this is legit but it seems like smite removes soulblaze on hit?

or it might just be a visual bug

but the damage doesnt seem to lineup

[north cradle]

My gun psyker is using a Mk XII lasgun with Scryer's, Shield, and Warp Siphon. Although I never brought it to an Auric so I can't speak to its efficacy

[dull osprey]

afaik just visual bug if u mean the purple puffs while the lightning is on

[left mirage]

no i mean soulblaze visual effects disappear when you cast smite on them

[north cradle]

It's probably just overlapping VFX

[left mirage]

then if they get reproc'd soulblaze it registers

[dull osprey]

^

[rocky cedar]

I assume KD doesn't let you tank a crusher overhead?

[left mirage]

so like i purgatus a normal enemy, then smite them + elite

blaze goes away then comes back after the elite pops

[north cradle]

GPUs would explode if they had to render Soulblaze and biolightning at the same time in a bigass crowd

[left mirage]

then it works like normal

but they can, that's the thing

with the elite soulblaze + soulblaze on kill it does reproc

its just that smite removes it on cast

[spice veldt]

nay

[north cradle]

Huh weird, maybe it's just an interaction with multiple DOTs

[left mirage]

you can test in simul

its kinda fucked

i was hoping for purg + smite to shock and burn

full send into aoe to melt hordes

but it just doesnt work

[strong gulch]

Had a map with three smite psykers. Nothing moved, incuding the frames.

[north cradle]

Hell yeah

Unlimited power, limited processing power

[strong gulch]

Freeze time

TIME WARP 👁️ 👄 👁️

[left mirage]

is there a mod to remove the smite vfx

i really want it gone

just keep the tickle lightning, remove the smoke

[severe folio]

understandable

[strong gulch]

If not, then it's only a matter of time before there's a mod or a fatshark update with vfx changes.

[vocal veldt]

Rolled this, what can I do to beef it up?

[snow coral]

wow that's pretty great already

[vocal veldt]

I agree but, I was wondering if I should change out the perks

[gilded viper]

shield or scrier's with voidstrike you think?

[olive ember]

Shield or shriek

Scriers is aight with transfer peril tho

[gilded viper]

I only have a transfer peril void lmao, but I'll probably just use dome

What do I want on dueling Sword? I got Uncanny but what else was to consider?

[dull osprey]

its just preference tbh both are good

[worthy scaffold]

whats your guys curio build?

[dull osprey]

combination of toughness/hp/ wound if u want it + toughness/hp/gunner resistance

but thats true for everyone except zealot they have a bit more room to play around

[worthy scaffold]

whats wound do in the stats of curio?

[dull osprey]

u can be downed +1 time

[worthy scaffold]

ohh

[dull osprey]

u can see in ur hp bar u get extra stripes

[gilded viper]

I do 2 toughness and an hp curio, doing a wound curio is probably safer tho

[worthy scaffold]

but it cant stack, correct

[gilded viper]

each wound curio gives more wounds

they stack

[worthy scaffold]

gonna do those now, tks alot

[dull osprey]

ofc it can

[gilded viper]

Especially since there's 9 wound martyrdom zealots running around

[dull osprey]

thats why u see zealots with martyr builds running around with more wounds than ur monitor has pixels

1 wound is recommended if u are newer/stepping difficulty

[gilded viper]

Idealy you just down less and run some toughness and hp curios to help with chip

[dull osprey]

on syker block effiency is also useful if u are using force swords since u can block range attacks too

[gilded viper]

Only deflector force swords block ranged attacks and give block efficiency with the blessing

You really shouldn't be charging a gunline tho

[dull osprey]

tell that to teammates

[worthy scaffold]

got shield for that

some reason they just shooting me but not the zealot charging them

[dull osprey]

but u should use deflectro anyways so thats kinda w/e

[gilded viper]

As you increase in difficulty that shield will fall fast, sometimes instantly

It's still good, just keep in mind it has an hp bar

[worthy scaffold]

its a temporal solution so can position again

[gilded viper]

What perks are people running on their dueling swords? +maniac? or what?

[dull osprey]

crit/weakspot

it has highest finesse brooooooooo

[harsh urchin]

Cant go wrong with maniac flak

Dont listen to ppl who say crit weakspot lul

[idle bay]

I find really ironic:

1. Players been complaining about Assail being too much for them.
2. Psykers players realizing that Assail will be turn into wet noodle, switching to Smite (or back to very underwhelming BB).
3. Teams with 2-3 Smite Psykers melting other players PC's

[dull osprey]

crit is good , weakspot for traits not perks

and it is good with dueling

rare exception

[harsh urchin]

Crit is good for people who cant aim

And crit and weakspot mathematically are poor damage due to the way the gaeme calculates it

The only reason finesse is good is because the numbers are so high

[terse rivet]

What do you guys consider the dump stats on Voidstrike staves?

[harsh urchin]

But the actual perk rolls are dogshit

Since they go up to 10

[burnt island]

Ah yeah. Hit that 30.

[idle bay]

I like how they re-use drapes and carpets for reject's drip 🙂

[wispy iris]

sick

[pseudo solstice]

finally got my psyker to 30 just now, and got this, what should i reroll

[summer prairie]

I guess the perks even though surge+nexus is probably optimal right now

you could just keep it like that for a while though

[flat shadow]

Was the precognition change good

Finesse damage basically means higher crit and weak spot damage right

[dawn wolf]

Upgrade your relics and melee first :p

curios*

[severe folio]

always felt like there could be better curio so i cant bring myself to upgrade lol

[near wyvern]

Orange has TONS of better rate yielding T4s. The chance also seems to scale with base rating of the weapon. I have no test data to back this up but it was mentioned in a dev blog and based on my experience I seem to get one T4 for every 4 orange roll with 370+ base weapons.

[flat shadow]

I wonder why they removed the feat that increases damage to enemies freshly brain bursted

I wanted to use it but it's not in the new trees

[kind knot]

just found this thing from the armory exchange

[flat shadow]

That's pretty goopy with the slop

[severe folio]

want to say thats pretty nice but

72 damage

[flat shadow]

Yummy

[severe folio]

and 75 charge rate

[coarse sequoia]

what perks/blessings i want on antax?

[flat shadow]

But that max radius doe

They'll fall miles away

[idle bay]

Something-something Lacerations if i recal correctly - +25% damage to recently BBed.. it allowed even faster boss melting.... I miss that stuff 😦

[kind knot]

slight decreases dont bother me terribly much

[severe folio]

it greatly bother me because i have limited resources

god gave me this while i was looking for purg staff

[kind knot]

how bad is the end result

[severe folio]

well

[torpid void]

what is the op bugged build for psyker?

[kind knot]

it dont look good

[severe folio]

first of all there isnt gonna be any weakspotting in that charge attack

[kind knot]

yeah

[severe folio]

so thats 1 perk out the window

secondly

hipfiring

and transfer peril too

essentially 3/4 not going to be well used on that staff

the crit hit is nice though

[kind knot]

base stats are pretty good, but the rest is pretty meh is what i see

[severe folio]

its a tragedy

[kind knot]

other than the crit i suppose

[severe folio]

like a steam engine car

[flat shadow]

Run and gun is just weird

[severe folio]

run and gun should be deleted

[flat shadow]

I can't imagine times where I'd be running in a straight line at enemies

maybe for the assault rifles i understand

[severe folio]

unless they unlock omni directional sprinting yeah

[flat shadow]

Because at least they suppress

[severe folio]

so that we can sprint left right back

[limber heath]

even just sprint left right would be great

[severe folio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWbiUlqmMs

exactly

or even strafing to the side

sprinting while turning

[kind knot]

i dont even know what to do with the staff now

[flat shadow]

Keep it

[kind knot]

im probably not gonna use it, since i have a voidstrike staff that i love

[severe folio]

see that level 4 transfer peril

[flat shadow]

It's still good stats

[severe folio]

grab it

[kind knot]

can i put that on a different kind of staff tho?

[severe folio]

yes

[keen harbor]

nope

[severe folio]

the transfer peril

[keen harbor]

nope

[severe folio]

cant be put on other staff ?

[flat shadow]

Only other traumas

I think

[keen harbor]

I know voidstrike looks the same as Trauma, but they are both different categories

[severe folio]

so what is this

[keen harbor]

And all 4 sticks are from a different family

bugged asset?

[kind knot]

the buffs are the same, they just cant go to different types of staves it seems

[severe folio]

i see

[kind knot]

silly

but it does make a bit of sense

[severe folio]

well then

keep it til;l you find a better trauma staff

though this is one of the lesser useful blessing so i have a feeling it wont be used

[keen harbor]

The skin is from a nomus surge force, but the regular voidstrike skin is a silver bird

[severe folio]

what does the skin has to do with anythin

i was pointing at the transfer peril

[keen harbor]

Yeah, you see it says "Voidstrike" at the end there

[kind knot]

your surge staff says voidstrike

[keen harbor]

This is how the regular ones look, and it's easy to confuse that they are from the same family

[gilded viper]

probably cause it got moved to smite

[flat shadow]

zammit

[severe folio]

yeah well, the point was that i found the blessing on a staff otherthan trauma

i thought that all staffs are from the same family

just staff

[rocky cedar]

Yeah I really miss laceration for BB.

[limber heath]

basically if the text after the MK doesn't match the blessings aren't transferrable.

[livid maple]

So is the Psyker's beloved actually the emperor or a warp entity, you think?

[severe folio]

damn

[idle bay]

Any warp entity really, or just his imagination 🙂

[severe folio]

i think its schrodinger emperor

[livid maple]

my theory is it's one of the emperor's quadrillion shattered parts of his soul

[idle bay]

You've seen a Purple and Violet color you as Psyker of tentacles on high peril ? I suspect that it's some kind of Slaaneshi demon making a good company for a seer, pretending to be Big E

[severe folio]

my assumption is that its his own consciousness

[livid maple]

also valid

[severe folio]

that way when he discover he is ultimately alone in both the real space and the warp, the loneliness can grip his heart and bite it cold

[zinc phoenix]

Luckily there is always the Lex Atoma to fall back on

[severe folio]

the emperor is dead and gone

the only protection from the warp that the imperium have are the thousand psyker soul killed in his name, wandering in the alter space to distract the daemon

[zinc phoenix]

stop right there heretic scum

[severe folio]

THE IMPERIUM ARE ONLY PROTECTED BY THROWING HUMAN BAIT INTO THE SEA OF SHARK

[zinc phoenix]

Chum

[still hearth]

Tfw the Emperor literally can't die and is actually staying "dead" to protect us

[zinc phoenix]

But also there’s the giant lighthouse emprah makes with his magic

You can’t be making a giant lighthouse without being alive

[idle bay]

Though he is Mostly a overglorified PLUG to major WARP LEAK on Terra...

[severe folio]

is there book about this

[idle bay]

Yes

[severe folio]

more about the emperor in death

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah the big book of shit people made up while high

[severe folio]

[idle bay]

Well he is very much alive ... he only look like he is a corpse.

[zinc phoenix]

Until is time to sell models we won’t get answer here

[severe folio]

true

but at least i can update myself with knowledge people already have

so its an actual thing then, that the emperor is half dead, and not a fact made up by the imperium ?

[zinc phoenix]

Only GW knows

[severe folio]

if only the GW know

then that means

its undecided lol

[dense bramble]

So Ive had scoreboard on for a bit and Ive noticed psykers do most damage and get the most kills. Is it OP?

Generally

[severe folio]

maybe

is there a problem to it

[dense bramble]

Its always been my main

Assail and voidstrike are a bit strong atm though

[severe folio]

theyll get nerf

[livid maple]

assail seems op

big like having 10 brainbursts. I notice the shards target and almost instakill elites first

[dense bramble]

I dunno assail would be sick if it literally cost 2x peril for half the shots

[severe folio]

i prefer if asssail is just 1 shard but it go back and forth around all enemies, and charge peril per enemy it hit

[dense bramble]

As it is its better than most staffs

[livid maple]

that'd be scary

[zinc phoenix]

Is more likely they’ll give it an actual role rather than having it be the do everything tool

[livid maple]

youd snowball into 100 really quick

[severe folio]

at 100 itll just automatically retract

like smite autoamtically stop

this way it become the actual yondu arrow

[livid maple]

hm

[dense bramble]

Ive never actually seen anyone smite infinitely

[severe folio]

that is because they like their frame rate safe

[zinc phoenix]

Idk how people trust that because I am so used to launch psyker just blowing itself up

[livid maple]

yeah thatd be interesting

[severe folio]

infintie smite hits hard on frame rate

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve done it

[severe folio]

the smokes

[zinc phoenix]

It’s so boring I stopped after a couple missions

[plucky flax]

It's funny but teammates for some reason won't actually hit the enemies.

[severe folio]

its because

they are lagging

when smite go out

[plucky flax]

Tru

[severe folio]

not that it matter

because if they dont hit it, then the kills go to you

eventually

watch them pop like corn in the pot

pop like zealot stun grenade

might be evil but stunning not just the enemy but your allies by smiting a damnation horde and then eventually kill it looks very pretty

[wispy iris]

Hardware peril

[bleak tulip]

its so fuckin annoying

[lyric burrow]

Yeah it becomes unplayable for some people

Which is shitty

[severe folio]

psyker roleplay

[hearty sedge]

Like, I know the weekends are bad when it comes to player quality, but jesus this weekend was just awful for auric.

[severe folio]

its monday

[hearty sedge]

Also I swear that the crusher overhead sound is broken, or much quieter than it was pre patch. I've eaten far more than I feel I used to.

[unique mist]

the eternal blessings struggle. still searching for Surge. currently have warp flurry, warp nexus and sustained fire t4

[hearty sedge]

Just roll up either trauma or voidstrike. They both can have it.

Then pray.
