It's pretty fucking nuts with the infinite bubbles setup
Then taking Deflector on a Force Sword is useful when caught out or trying to force your way into a choke
is that an actual build? or a bug?
can i ask what you mean by shooters?
Guns
dont like half the enemies have guns
Run warp charges, as long as you have a single charge, casting the bubble will only cost the charge, not the cooldown. Almost certainly a bug, it should only be decreasing the CD by some amount per expended charge, but apparently that "some amount" is 100% right now
And yeah like half the enemies have guns haha, which is why specializing in killing them very very quickly is valuable
guys with guns that you cant mark
Oh the stalkers
ppl call them shooters
Are the worst
I just r u n up to them and stab them
Yeah they do technically each have individual names, but we just call them all shooters
That works on some difficulties
do they not put away their guns on higher level?
Oh no they still do, just at high levels they're liable to gun you down first
You can melee them and often you should, but that being the only plan is dicey
There's also way more of them. And they spread out. And if they get too spread out, then you're just screwed without another plan
Im begining to think i dont know how to play psyker right
Quick question, can Smite Crit?
So like we say Assail is bonkers for how fast it can run through a whole pack of shooters from safe range, because normally 30 shooters in good cover on the other side of the room is a tricky thing to approach
Before Assail, the best thing for that was pretty much "be a good veteran and pick headshots really fast" or lob a grenade. Now psyker can spam click cute little flying knives that just brrrrr through them
and has damn near infinite ammo which is nuts compared to ogryns rock toss
I picked psyker cuz i have kinda bad aim but it feels like the assail rout wants me to also do sick headshots from cross map or something
And yeah, you really have to run that shit for a while to hit zero knives, then you just switch to something else for like 8 seconds and they're all back
Doesn't Assail have a sub node to regen faster
unfortunately not
Assail will generally do it's thing without you worrying. Literally unaim hipfire spam click and it'll work 90% of the time. You can right click to aim and pick out a specific guy to chuck a shard at, which is fantastic for picking off snipers and such
Ah, ok thanks.
Assail Psyker is what Knife Throwing Zealot wishes it could be XD
As an aim-challenged person myself, assail is incredibly free
I just do Assail, surge staff, Illisi sword
Whats a crit
You can randomly do more damage, makes a different sound and your reticle flashes yellpw
critical hits have a random chance to occur, and they deal extra damage than normal hits
there is no hitmarker for crits
So its not headshots
Yellow is the crit hitmarker
only weakspots, bodyshots, kills, and no-damage attacks
Headshots/weakpoints are red
there is no yellow hitmarker
there is only orange (weakspot), red (kill), white (bodyshot), and blue (no damage)
^
Lots of other talents and perks either enhance crits (more likely, or more damage) or trigger additional benefits when you get a crit
you'll see yellow damage numbers in the psykhanium which indicates a crit though
Ah my bad, you're correct
Crits are a good thing to build into
If i primarily want to use assail and cant aim what bottom part of the tree do i wana go into
Warp charge, the left one
Assail auto targets regardless doesn't it?
More damage, faster ult cooldown, don't have to really change how you play or fuss about it much
i'd pick the center and right branches
Do i want scriers gaze?
scrier's gaze is too much trouble to be worth it
If you wanna spam it you need empowered, warp charges is if you wanna use staff and stuff more
I feel like Scrier is for some kind of melee Pysker build
Yeah
I would do push to empowered for a few games till you get used to assail warp build up
melee and gun
then shield and empowered
if you have 9 points from the shield ult to invest into warp charges, go for it
scrier is very good although rn left passive tree is bugged for it
but if you don't have enough points, I would go for EP and take True Aim
It's cool but finicky and really benefits from having an exact plan for it. Warp charge is easy and you don't have to think about it
when it gets fixed scrier gunsyker will go from good to amazing
works fine, i prefer left path shields but otherwise its good
both paths are good
I recommend taking this node
very strongly recommend you
i urge you
I threaten you to take it
?
it's one of the best nodes on psyker's tree
ehhh
free damage for killing an elite/special
free 10 damage
yay
Don't listen to the soulfire siren. Everything dies too fast to matter.
yeah
so be it
i see it being useful on gunsyker soulfire builds
does purgatus staff count as soulfire damage for that bottom tree perk?
Do you run soulfire on crit for staff and soulfire spreading too or just that one alone?
I never go down the left side of the tree
just perilous combustion is enough
and it's one node away from Soulstealer
extremely cheap node
that inflicts soulblaze in a 4m radius area on a killed elite/specialist (except for when they die to soulblaze which prevents you from chaining it)
perilous combustion also means that you don't need to care about breakpoints as much
and it's fairly likely for elites to be together
I'm honestly not impressed on it
I guess if you managed to slaughter a group of elites the stacks can get high, but then isn't anyone near them already dead by that point?
I'll shill that first extra damage node on the bottom middle tree, whatever it's called. It's pretty free
I liked it back when it proced on BB because it went past some breakpoints but on kill its meh
there are a ton of elites nowadays though
and you don't need to kill that many for it to start adding up
Perilous combustion is quite good on auric
Yeah, might as well give it a whirl on my brainless surge build.
which one should I use with Brain Burst, warp charges or empowered psionics?
i just love how the most busted talent in the game, across all classes, people are repeatedly like "ehhhh, I dont' think it really does anything"
you're still referring to perilous combustion with that?
not the most busted, but it is very up there
aside from the sprint is this somewhat decent (i am a level 25 psyker and this is my first every psyker character)
I was so excited when this popped up in the store. Now I'm sad.
ouch
ive been running with a laspistol with the ghost perk and as long as im hitting weakspots im immune to ranged damage
it sort of overlaps with empathetic evasion so i didnt take that node
pretty decent but i wouldnt waste crafting mats on stuff until you hit 30. you should start getting items with higher base rating
here's a demo of what 8 stacks does https://streamable.com/o7myk5
oh yeah, all that shit's amazing, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't solve the shooter problem for the rest of the party
can chain this with Wildfire right?
or if you're distracted for a bit
yeah
but I don't take wildifre cuz it's on the left branch and I can just take psykinetic's aura anyways
soulblaze also benefits from active blessings on your weapon
i wonder what uncanny strike does to soulblaze
huh well that's funky
duck em
jk lol
i truly do wonder what perilous combustion does on melee maelstrom
ive been running smite to help cc
8 stacks of what?
soulblaze
wait soulblaze takes armor into acc?
ohhh
it deals 10% to Carapace
here's a small peek into what happens to a crusher https://streamable.com/4ueqyl
31 stacks
134 damage per tick (every 0.75 seconds) is pretty hefty I'd say, and that's for free
you'll really need purgatus to load up enough on crushers to combo with uncanny
impersonating crab by playing music during the clip
does psyker have anything to help with the reload speed of revolvers though?
every other class gets at least one
psykers are the most oppressed
they should buff shards to compensate
tru
you're an impersonation of a human being
what weapons do you run with your crack head toughness build?
apparently im good enough to fool you
i run trauma/purg + mk4 duelling sword
feel free to run the vstrike though
htf do you get cliffhanger? i'm doing the 2 bridges thing but there is no knockback whatsoever
toughness curios?
how come i can infinite block push with force sword even without stamina? and also infinite dodge?
psyker is perfectly balanced
because infinite dodge is a baseline feature of force-swords, as shown on its Inspect page ingame
depends on your build
blazing spirit is huge if you're spec'd into soul blaze
but deflector is a good non specific one
huge......ly disappointing

literally none of those on my recommended FS blessing list
what do you usually recommend?
what are dump stats for illsi force sword?
slaughterer, unstable, uncanny, shred
does trauma staff have any more knockback than main F ability?
does the mk iv dueling sword have a good move set?
i haven't really used them so idr which ones are the good/bad ones
you should see how much damage their heavies do on weakspot
its kinda nuts
yes, that's its whole deal
So the shocky staff
how do i use it propeprly?
the single bounce it gets does like 20% the dmg of the main target so it's basically nothing
thats very good, would get if you don't have one already
more the stun i find good as a nice extra but yeah
god . gunsyker is so . sex
i feel like a god with gaze + rapier
the insane movement speed and damage π€€
feels like WHC + VT2 Zealot combined
absolutely cracked
now if only warp siphon wasn't broken and I could have 100% uptime gaze... oh woe is me
Nexus or flurry on voidstrike with surge?
#OGRYN'D
which force sword? I like uncanny strike on Deimos cuz your special can proc 3 of the rendings by itself
meanwhile vet with 3 ogryn basically can't shoot anything because they have the impenetrable wall of flesh in front of them
im so glad purgatus etc doesnt have the CC damage that Sienna had
Anyone, warp nexus or flurry with surge on voidstrike
where i felt restricted to bolt/beam because of it
is the fact that the smite upgrades work on surge staff intentional or were they gonna remove it?
does deflector block not work o nsnipers
im going to buy one staff from brunts armory, what type should it be
OOOOOFFF
that thing looks wild
just watch out for barrels π
man i hope they fix the smite sfx soon, starting to get pretty sick of ppl spamming it and making me drop 20 fps to tickle poxwalker hordes
just ran it with purge/m4 duel sword. worked pretty well 
hellll yeah
was hi int gauntlet too
should i pick this up? ive never used one of these things before but its got a decent rating so i thought id ask
just found out that smite damage is less terrible if you spam it
its okay. it can do decent but people prefer mkIV
i picked it up, i wont upgrade it though until i feel like im ready to cry over bad rolls
as you should
illisi
dropped a nice one
also are blessings shared between force swords
half health for max peril on poxwalkers π
i get damage isnt its job but damn
if the damage was like, tripled it'd be fine
so glad they gave psykers the ability to tickle enemies with their mind
in the late game, how useful is a blessing such as deflector?
if you're a frontline psyker
tank/cc
am i dumb or is the crit coherency for psyker not good?
crit coherency?
oh Prescience
yeah it's only 4% crit aura
you'd only take it if you wanted to avoid mind in motion
yeah CDR is way better
Its good for not dying to bad placement. You do need extra block efficiency in order to not get shield broken by 1 gunner though. I like it but it doesnt seem too popular.
esp with the other CDR stuff already in the tree
I stopped using it entirely, but it can help you if you get caught out of position sometimes
duly noted
its used but a lot of people try to learn how to deal with gunners without it
which gives you access to more damage
but its not bad
I've read the block efficiency transfers to the build peril for blocking skill
Yea
I always find that the melee gets pulled out in emergencies to save myself.
I fully build into it with curios too
If im pulling out the fs for self defense id rather it be focused on survivability
Noice, I've gone the dodge spam into a box and get caught route with it.
Telekine wall is so good against bonbons
unlimited dodges+high block efficiency deflector will get you out of 99% of sticky situations if you dont get stuck
Block their puke entirely
Crit chance for toughness regen or flak?
Trying to go all in on melee scriers with a gun
how is it?
Flak
Extra 5% chance for 5% toughness Regen is really small
The only tough part about gunker is that you lack easy toughness regen
Unless you go empowered psionics or assail
what would be a good talent set for completing this?
you can take toughness regen on warp charge
Yea but that's fair toughness regen
Not the "throw two assails" kind of Regen 
ill try that one out
i'm 4/6 for tier 4 voidstrike blessings and still no Surge
rip bozo
creeping flames with smite absolutely infuriates the director, lol
do blessings matter on a force sword? i feel like the only reason to bring it is the infinite dodge anyway
which force sword?
Its so fucking good dude
kid named deflector:
but if you're only using it for mobility, then yeah doesn't matter
fym level up I'm already level 30
they have different blessings depending?
i didnt know
chainsword with rev it up actually sleeper for running at high speeds
the blessing pools are relatively similar, its just that the force swords themselves are better at certain tasks
Deflector blessing lets you block guns
same pool, but different preferred blessings
deimos is more single target focus, illisi is better at horde clear/general use
the other frame is just meh right now
i just have some random green one right now, im a launch player who returned for patch 13 but am dry on plasteel so i need to be stingy with my upgrades
wish psyker had a gun that was capable of killing crushers with gusto, as of right now only surge and voidstrike can really cover that role
closest would just be the revolver and with some damage buffs to two-shot them, sadly
the downtime on the reload is so peepee poopoo
is gun psyker viable?
yes
Very
sweet
I even run smite on gunpsyker because I'm a little goblin
If you use assail you might as well not bring a gun
Just embrace the meme and go smite, stun the horde and say I'm helping the team
Also smite let's your peril climb quite easily so synergy with warp rider π€·ββοΈ
i love smite i run it with my purg staff
flame lower health stuff and stunlock big boys for the team
smite with creeping flames(ascendant blaze) is actually very very good, lock down the entire room and let it burn out, and with semi competent teammates it eases the pressure just enough to pick off nastier things mixed in
Creeping flames is just very good in general
I pair assail with a revolver to have an option for quickly taking out distant enemies or enemies in tight hallways where the shards might hit obstacles. The hitscan is helpful in a few situations
whats ascendant blaze? edit: found it on google no need to answer
Yea but if you play gunpsyker you wanna play gun right 
Because rn you can run assail with literally anything because it's so good
assail is such a cool ability but i really hope they make it less brain dead
I basically just try to use a gun if I can and only use assail for toughness Regen or hairy situations
i havent played damnation yet but on everything else its free horde clear
wait there is?
oh its in pinned
it's a work in progress, but the info is still there

Force greatsword, wherefor art thou
i know that's why i want it!
it's just so freaking expensive
i've upgraded at least 10 voidstrikes up to gold tier from white/grey
another 4 from blue
is this worth upgrading?
aight
you want to dump either quell (recommended) or warp resistance
and it's 358 when i'd say wait till you get a 370+
but you can get away with lower base ratings if the dump stat is deep enough
hows about this one?
i'd recommend against it, blast radius is an important stat for its horde clear capabilities. but you could go for it if you wanted, especially if you're looking for a single target blessings combo like surge and warp nexus
I'm feeling motivated
blast radius? really?
yeah it influences max damage falloff radius as well as stagger radius so
like if you're going a warp flurry/transfer peril roll i wouldn't dump blast radius
Staff really feels off by a lot, if blast radius is low. It's utility saves your life in a pinch since you can aim in front of your feet and stagger everything if it's high enough, or just have enemies hit you, because it didn't hit them. If I may add to the convo
Managed to get my Health and Toughness to the same value : 165 and 165 π
Who needs health anyway....
if i do say so myself
There is a Pygex.. but i think he is sleeping right now. Try to tag him later π
oka
i need help in settings
wha should i change here that make game move better
that's out of my pay grade, sorry
I dunno what βmove betterβ means
Run better - probbably
Reduce the local light shadow resolution to 512
And set the dynamic and static max shadow distance to 1
Not 0 which makes it infinite
wait where is local light shadow
And your game will look like potato
But you gain frames
Your first picture
Middle
is 0 look like potato or 1 look like potato
Change βrt_mixed_reflections = falseβ
is that cost money
rt_light_quality= off
For some reason game keep turning ray tracing on, until you change it in config file manualy
Iβve never had that issue, weird
Yeah it's one of the reccomended settings
Game should run better now
ok i see local light shadow resoulation
where do i put 512
Replace the 1024
You can leave the middle distance value at 0 probably
can this change
No
Nexusmods has a potato quality ini you can download
If you wanted something to make the game run very well but look like poop
By the Omnissiah miracle Darktide running almost smoothly on somewhat High setting on my 10 years old PC.....
Anyone got a good staff so i can based on that to craft? Tks
This mod might help https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/17?tab=description
Visualisation of what Jitter means
π
wait whai is it default true
Grab both. Two more bricks in the making π Or maybe Hadron will be merciful this time
yeah fair
the top one has REALLY FUCKING GOOD damage but im concerned about that warp resistance. the bottom one has a bit less damage but better stats overall and a better perk
I JUST ROLLED WARP NEXUS 3 ON BOTH LFG
render settings
Not bad at all π
guys why my game look so bad
does surge blessing on voidstrike staff cause a 2nd projectile? does in increase peril?
from chatgpt
In the context of video game graphics, "jitter" typically refers to a technique called "temporal jitter" or "camera jitter." This technique is often used in rendering and post-processing to reduce aliasing artifacts, also known as "jaggies," which are caused by the discrete nature of pixels in a screen. Jitter helps to improve image quality and reduce the visibility of aliasing.
Temporal jitter works by introducing small, random offsets to the camera's position and/or projection matrix from frame to frame. These subtle shifts can help reduce the regular patterns that cause aliasing. When combined with techniques like anti-aliasing, it can create a more visually pleasing and smoother gaming experience.
oh thanx
and i just grabbed warp flurry 3 from another one so
it all comes down to what i roll for the perk when i make it purple really
Just roll Ranged Crit 5% and its good to go
- pretty sure you just fucked with a bunch of graphics settings soooo that's the consequences
- might be something to do with your gamma/brightness
im not trying to be that stringent but heres hoping
ok it looks little better
That is some dedicated casual gaming 1125 true level.... i barely broke 220 on my Psyker
how do you show these "true levels?"
mod
o_o i haven't played in almost a year, wasn't fatshark coming down hard on that?
dunno, not stuff like this at least
Hey are there requirements for me to get rank 3 or rank 4 deflector blessing?
basically R&G
Ugh I hate RNG
keep checking in with melk he is more likely to have it or build up a couple of high power lvl brunt weapons to see if you get it
yes
There is a drinking game in Fatshark office. There a a huge screen with a counter how much 360+ items Hadron bricked. Each time counter goes up by 10 - it's drinking time!
Bricked 380 item adds 100 points to the board
good grief
I cant tell if better or worse
you gotta potatofy that to get rid of that greebling if youre going this hard
OI SPARK 'EADS
I hope yall are having a fantastic night cause if you're not you're gonna get an Ogrynβ’οΈ hug

Can anyone recommend blessings are best for shredder pistol?
Is this sword worth buying?
No
Damage and pen are low
damage too low, pen bad, mk 2 not the best tbh
I guess you could buy it if you really just want tier 3 uncanny
And both bad perks too
are you below level 30?
uncanny is the go to for duel ...
no i just hit lv30,yesterday
k
Perks not blessings
don't buy from melk unless it has a t4 blessing you both really want and are missing
oh fug my bad
or if it has great base stats and good perks
Or like a perfect statline
I have fallen victim to the perk blessing conundrum once again 
ah okay,so this shop mainly for blessing farm?
100%
so if you waste them on something really really mid
Most weapons you'll use are self crafted
you miss out on a week's worth of gold tier random rolls
mostly yeah, its pretty rare to get a good overall item out of melkies
but tbh if you want good stats just browse brunt's hourly reset items
it can happen but dont expect it
RNG a good base and upgrade it at Hadron
i buy anything 370+ from brunt's hourly reset unless i'm never gonna use it (axes)
just so in the future i can maybe upgrade it and extract blessings from it if it bricks
If they are good. I mostly just do brunt RNG and upgrade decent base stats and hope Hadron doesn't brick it
still searching for Surge
I barely look at hourly or daily shops
kinda just buy whites and greens from brunt if that
i see i see,im kinda broke to experiment with those,but i keep that in mind
if its a brunt blue its already on path to being bricked because he doesnt roll higher than tier 3 blessings
The weapon shop is good for low level blessings that are only T1-T2
what t4 blessings can voidstrike even roll?
surge
Terrifying?
because tiers 1, 2 and 4 have 6 blessings total (3 has 7, but I know one of those is run and gun, which is t3 exclusive)
Assail will carry you thru heresy no problem until you get a better weapon
and one tier 4 is surge
is it that big of a deal to only have deflector 2 instead of 3 or 4
ah there we go
surge is 4 exclusive
that is what i was wanting thanks
Sustained Fire 
the rest roll for all
cheers
Your blocks cost more when hit with lower tiers
yeah sustained is dog
I see
terrifying is also dog
Which is funny since its also bugged iirc
yeah oh boy i can't wait for +10% dmg across 4 shots
Sustained applies to 3 shots after the first or something like that
It's nice but Surge is silly
yeah but surge nexus is better overall damage wise so theyre priority
And rn peril isn't an issue
yeah for sure
You can quell between each shot even
transfer is nice but you can just quell for 1s and be down to like 20
shit, less actually
just rn without surge (i have flurry, nexus, sustained and transfer) i like running flurry and transfer
with the quell speed talent you go to 0 in like one second
what's the best blessing for illisi to go with deflector?
yeah i run that lol
slaughterer?
Slaughter
yeah
Surge/nexus for crit murder build
Transfer/flurry to just throw warp grenades everywhere
uncanny is overall still good on FS but if youre hellbent on deflect slaughterer is your thing
when i'm caught out by a gunner and cant do shit but wade slowly into cover, i block with my duelling sword wishing i had deflector
slide
I never remember my FS hsd deflector
i am not a movement king yet

Peril power blessing, I canβt remember the name of, is probably better, since you can use block to increase peril
Unstable power
I slide cancel on them
you'd be surprised how many people skip the tutorial where it just tells you
True
Just am him
Stupid or ignorant people skip tutorials
(Donβt actually slide cancel.)
and what's the benefits to sliding because i feel like i just plant my fucking feet in the ground and stop for a whole minute at the end of a slide
Like suppression
which i'm sure is why people slide cancel
People forget that exists
yes or no
no
mid
bad perks and bad blessings + no t4
if only quel and charge were swapped
Start running again before you finish the slide, itβs faster than running
Secondary low dam
Fr?
Slide canceling exists?
yeah
wym
Law damage my guy not worth
Yes, itβs how you move the power cells quickly
Hmm
it faster than running especially since you dont use stam while sliding
mhm mhm now i understand
Dope thx
Which modifiers should I reroll? I'm thinking about the +8% Elites and Terrifying Barrage
Meant low*
yeah those
Yep, go for transfer peril and unyielding
I thought people generally go for flak
I love using smite and getting error 2014
yea
How come?
unyielding isnt gonna suddenly make you boss damage not bad
Flurry/transfer peril letβs you spam fullcharged secondaries
void just low key sucks against bosses there aint no fixing that
Unyielding is for reapers/monstrosities
you still shit on reapers fine without it
mines simillar to this one all modis are on 80% but quell speed (60%)
and basically half the enemies in the game are flak
aaaaaaa wat could have been
meaning you need less charge to kill em
meaning you kill faster
and you can grill mixed hordes easier
True but it helps with monstrosities and assassination targets
π everything else that doesnβt have carapace dies in 1 shot anyway
Except muties
sick
How do you get better base weapon rated weapons if that makes sense
if you aint meleeing ass targets youre doing it wrong
at least with void
Try doing ass targets with morons who run around like chickens with thier head cutoff while they have agro
Itβs annoying
shield is range resistant up the ass so you gottahug him to do any damage anyway
and when he pops you just FS charge attack or headstab with duel
better dps than void
And then getting told psykers are dead weight and most useless class π
Iβm aware, but I get annoyed chasing and just chill at ass spawn spot while killing trash
level up, thats basically it
Iβm level 30
there used to be a whole thing to it but I think thats jsut gone now
Just keep playing I assume
it used to work that your highest base level item determined the drops
but I dont think thats how it worked for a while now
dunno try that, otherwise yeah just play
Ok bet
Once you hit 30, you will start seeing 350-380 grey items
check in the armory and do melkies
What should I change on this staff?
I think it's prettier with flurry 4 and keep crit 4%
thanks
i thought about that yeah
upgrade flurry if you got it yeah
strange that purgatus only has 3 T4 blessings?
weird
I could take the flurry off of this one:
plus they are going to add new blessings so maybe there'll be something better later
yeah
whats the difference lol
they all roll diff blessings
Do items cost more to upgrade if they have more base power?
also why can we only take off 1 of each blessing?
makes no sense why we cant just earn blessing on all of them
A little bit
Itβs like 1500ish to go from white to orange
Nah it's lazy coding
is flak bonus damage any good on purgatus?
They made blessing pools and you unlock blessings per pool.
Yes, flak or maniac and then crit
Crit chance is bis
Crits apply double soulblaze stacks
could keep the crit you have and up flurry but thats both pretty minor improvements
Why is there no T4 blazing spirit?
its a 3 exclusive
like how surge is a void 4 exclusive, run n gun is a 2 exclusive etc
that or focused, one of the two
either way those are both bad
hey at least duel swords all share blessings, which is nice
Rashad MkII Axe or Chainsword, for killing Monstrocities?
is surge any good on trauma?
now you know why void is so overtuned rn 
Cause FS like giving us trash blessings to fill the pool of options to give the illusion of choice
because it does work on void RMB
damn
yeah
i keep noticing that void psykers are topping scoreboard damage charts
even when theyre not that useful
and you can talent into guaranteed crits
90% of their damage is like overkill
the rightside capstone?
the talent before it
5 weak points for guarenteed crit
5 weakspot hits sound like a lot for a staff though?
would be insanely broken on an accatran
That is OP with void, since you can headshot multiple enemies in a horde at once
one void ball can weakspot 10 times
And a guaranteed crit void ball crits on every hit
@near wyvern greetings! Is there any neat tricks to do with Smite? Like LMB and then RMB to essentialy do a force push like on Laspistol.
i like to combine smite with creeping flames but other than that, no idk
I don't have any T4 blessings for void in general but this is my setup
no one playing at 9 AM on a workday? absurd
ik right?
just as i said that i was joined by 3 assail psykers
eeeeh
monkey paw ass resolution
idk i like smite abit more
Smite is op that's why.
the stun
reading comprehension question: the scrier's gaze talent Precognition gives "finesse damage," does that only affect melee? I've only seen that stat on melee weapons
Finesse is also head shot damage so if your staff can head shot or if you're using assail it'll work too.
what aura do you guys use
fascinating, noted. Than you
Depend on builds for me but always elite damage or cd reduction. I never run crit chance aura.
I was using all the Soulfire nodes with Smite Initially. But then i simply switchef them for Toughness nodes and there are no longer any soulfire in my build.
oh well i only use two of them
Hrm without soulblaze talents you won't horde clear.
Got censored for saying what happens normally at 100 peril but here is the uncensored message
Unless you play unlimited power.
Is it 84+ peril for 6 burn stack? I go to 90 just in case.
dunno if this decision makes sense but it works
Seems fine to me. If you're using creeping flame I'd invest in wildfire too.
I was using that initially. Now i switch to weak version - relying on teammates to kill stuff. Both playable, but i admit that mass burn build was funnier π
Doesn't matter as wildfire will passively increase damage when you cast creeping flame at high peril.
With default UI which round up you want to be at 85+, with True Peril (one decimal or more) you want to be at 84+. Don't use true peril without any decimals, it will fuck you up with peril break points.
like this?
I use tru peril without decimal number. 
Yeah looks good. You'll have enough points down later for all the warp charges nodes too. Also I recommend taking cd reduction aura for creeping flame build.
Just spam f when high peril and you'll kill a lot of stuff.
I don't sit on my warp charges and prefer to stay at high peril, so essence harvest
eyy bubble man
good ol mega man
I dunno up to you I take the one that reduce peril generation.
You already regen so much toughness the other talent is wasted imo.
Wait that's wrong.
Smite surge build :p
The quell toughness seems to be overkill if you have warp attack toughness
Oh it's just another way of emergency toughness regen when enemies are out of range or something.
Also I prefer the damage smite debuff over extra chain
Dangerous stuff cause it uses default rounding. For example, if you brain burst at 97, your actual peril might be 96.5 to 97 (safe) or above 97 up to 97.49 which will cause you to explode.
Hrm I purely use smite to quickly generate peril and cc. I don't care for damage as after I get high peril I cast creeping flame and enemies should all die.
Oh yeah I've definitely exploded many times when casting bb.
So now I play it safe and don't do it at 97% anymore. I just think the decimal is too ugly to put on the ui.
There is a reason I use True Peril mod
Yes, but you have to use it with either 1 or 2 decimals or it's unsafe
Yeh, looks ugly, but so worth it
Default UI is safe, True Peril with 1 and 2 decimals are safe, True Peril with no decimals is unsafe
I use 1 decimal and only look at the two numbers and ignore what's after the decimal point
The reason is because ceiling and floor rounding are consistent where as default rounding is inconsistent with respect to tresholds at even values

It's not as bad as vet's tree.
Wait till you hear that some of the descriptions are not true and many have hidden effects
That's the worst.
that build is zappy zappy build
been trying to play vet and it feels so underwhelming

Yeah their decision to not have any keystone is so questionable.
It makes vet feel like ass.
Enjoy your 5s of buff on ability use.


But you have to go all the way down the tree. 
yup lol
I know vet was op pre-patch but this feel kinda bad.
yeah they seemed to gut it lol
it can extend on outline enemy kill, and it outlines gunners
I play vet the least by far since patch.
it outlines all specials/elites but you have to spec into extending on kill
Haven't touched other classes yet, too busy with testing out Psyker stuff
which feels kinda like....why lol
No we're talking about the vet's keystones at the bottom of their tree.
feels like that should be baked into executioner stance
have to spend 2 upgrades to it, and then all gunners extend it
which staff do most Psykers use when crafting?
i see 4 available to craft ...2 different equinox, one Nomanus and the Rifthaven ...which do I want to craft?
there are 4 different staves, each has its own playstyle
try each one out to see what you enjoy using
Except scab stalkers still
so it doesnt highlight all ranged enmies like it says?
Yes
It used to say all shooters which wasn't true either
But its still literally the same thing
two of them look to be the same ..what's the difference between the Equinox Mk III Trauma Force Staff and the Equinox Mk IV Voidstrike Force Staff?
For levelling purgatus is probably the most assessable.
Trauma is a ground explosion with a bigger AoE and Voidstrike is a cleave ball that you shoot at range that explodes for stagger
And Voidstrike does a fuckton of damage rn
yes
Void shoots a void ball out in a line
Trauma drops cirlces on enemies
i'm lvl capped and looking to make a couple new staffs is why i'm asking
All the staves are pretty good rn
best bet, try to make a good one of each Trauma, Void, Purga and Surge
Oh then just try it out and see what staff you like.
Either Voidstrike and Trauma needs nerfs or Surge needs some buffs though.
(One of those do need nerfs 100%)
Yes yes buff surge so its even more op. 
surge has almost as much base damage as void, it just doesnt weakspot hit
ok ok ...i have a Rifthaven and an Equinox Mk III on me atm ...guess i'll make one each of the other two and see how they work
Yeah which doubles the Voidstrike's damage and Voidstrike also has Surge
Thx all

we use the names Trauma, Surge, Voidstrike and Purgatus
to difirentiate between the staves
as for curios, what base do most folks run? 3x toughness, 3x health etc., or a mix of them? trying to see if I've built mine somewhat right so far
do psyker got any gun (not staff, plz) that have good stats with good ammo reserve?
i heard lasgun can hit many break point on damnation while still have a good firerate and ammo count, but this is from a 5 month old vid
i run full Health, others run full toughness
its mostly preference
It's personal preference just use whatever make you feel comfy and survive.
health is still probably better for survival
with all the toughness generation we have, both are good
there isnt much of a difference except one has less hp and one has more toughness
kk, atm I am running with +max health, +1 wounds and a +3 stam base ...zealot is my main but since i'm capped i will at least run the weeklies on any capped toon I have
and I also like the psyker class ...they are a close 2nd to the Zealot ...so I do swap around. hence me asking about the curios
wounds are not great for psyker, going wounds is planning to fail
same with stamina, the only thing we need stamina for is sprinting, we use peril for block
i feel so nekkid tho running such a smol wound pool
having 2 wounds is just asking to die imo
π we dont get buffs for having a lot of wounds
we dont get any buffs relevent to wounds
dodge, smite, venting shriek, shield are all used to prevent dieing
toughness and health prevent us dieing
wounds does nothing for us except let us go down an extra time
and if you are going down, you are doing somthing wrong
truth hurts 
hmm seems that finding toughness curios is gonna be harder than I expected. only have 1 so far on any operative I have made
you can use your contract currency to roll for random curios to bypass the 2 per hour you get from armoury
Is it worth?
i dont use it for anything else π
fair
i roll white weapons and upgrade
cant do that with curios
also having a curio with curio as reward from missions is also good
at least 1
I thought as much so yea I have the curio reward chance on at least one curio on any toon I play
and I tend to hunt for the books so I put grim resist on at least one as well
i dont do any books, its not worth when going into quickplay
tho I am wondering what's the difference between the two corruption resists ...i mean does having corruption resist perk also help when hunting for grims? not sure why you wouldn't ...my quick plays more than 75% of the time have the option to hunt for books given
they both apply, but the general corrupt resist helps against monstrocities
right right ...grim resist is kinda on point with what it protects again and I do suppose reg corrupt resist helps in this regard as well ...still seems a bit weird they put one in specifically for the grims
but I will use it nonetheless XD
Anyone have a smite build they really like?
ok now what?
Surge smite build.
sweet thanks, i'll give it a shot
I have gameplay too for inspiration if you want. Basically just spam f a lot at high peril.
Use surge staff for most of the match to take care of specials and shooters.
So... i found the most powerful weapon in the game... a Door, literally 1 shot a monstrocity by accident on Damnation. 
Also any platform tha violates OSHA regulations about safety railing and zealot with a Relic
But.... it's Obscurus
when the mission reward is actually good
rip, bad base type
Keep it. It may get a Purpose one day
its the first force sword you get access to, its basicly the leveling force sword
witchshround doesn't even look that good
though that doesn't mean it should stay dogshit relative to the other two
Deimos - The Poke and secretely GREAT boss damage (rending + unstable).
Illsi - general universal tool with good horde clear.
Obscurus - still very ... Obscure force sword with no clear purpose
if not it's offensive properties, it'll be interesting to see if it'll get any defensive buffs
I really like this look, I just hate the penances to get it
obscurus is fine, i'm still using the one i got before the other two came out
i literally just finished them all
the build isn't so bad
use purgatus to stay on top of warp charges
keep your head on a swivel, pop heads when you see them
it looks alright in combination with the highest tier of redacted pennace armour
you're not going to be topping any charts, except maybe for clearing trash, but that's fine
i only use the face cover mask from the new psyker penance's combined with the Redacted legendary armor.
looks kinda goofy to me
hides too much of the face i think
That's the point. We are all look the same 95% of psykers and vets and some zealots are wearing the same face
i'm only missing warp battery and monstronum but they are such a drag
this helm is no different, hides just as much
also at least its not the Christmas theme
not a big fan of that one either
with the goggles i mean
i used this while grinding out penances, but it's not my normal fit
this is my standard π
my standard. shame about the clipping but eh
Standard hobo wizard fit
The standard outfit without the armour is just so nice and uncluttered
i don't like the bulky upper body outfits, there's no legs to go with them
i like that headpiece
we spend far too much time in the sewers, best keep the decent clothing for when we are not in sewers
Dress for the job you want.
Not your part time in the sewers
you should check out blind witch's leash raiment from the non-cash store, it's got even less clutter
just insignia and buttons
But then it doesnt colour match with the cool hat.
I rock this normally
blue and red compliment each other decently actually
Wearing your kids baby stroller to battle day
though it is maybe a bit dark
i guess i should buy the gold embroidery jacket, it looks pretty nice
There used to be a running joke about Ogryn's baby carriage for Vet, and leash for knife zealots (bad ones) who keep running away to die 15 seconds later
why did i buy this
why indeed
They really put you in the cone of shame
i have no idea what that means
but it's funy
I bought pretty much every Psyker bundle drip... to never wear it. Because OG Penenance set (hood with googles included) is the best
it's the cradle behind his head, it looks like the type of seat you put toddlers in
looks kinda cool on the lights out missions because all the orbs glow. you're like a big glowing satellite dish
perfect
can you take that and the cone of shame?
no sadly the cone is a headpiece
lmao
Could you share your build please? I might start working on them lol
i run it with purgatus
and obscurus, but apparently that's pretty out of fashion
obsucc user 
Ty
I feel like they should give the obscurus built in deflector
Little gimmick bone to Toss it
welp
time to be a trauma user
hadron pls
Good luck
Donβt brick π§±
Not bad, probably swap the nexus for flurry and sprint to dmg@for something
MYbe flak
Swap nexus 4 on then and patch it later
Im sure you can farm a flurry 3 easy from random staves
what is brittleness anyway
I thought it was like rending and reduced dmg resist
It applies for your whole team too iirc
Increases damage taken by the enemy
Specifically, itβs just reducing their resistance
Like can opener is a good example
it's a debuff that gives +rending% to incoming attacks on an enemy
Is very good in general. Curious how much of an impact it may have on monstrosities. (I feel most weapons already real good damage to unyielding?)
yeah fairly rare to have <100% against unyielding unless the weapon name begins with recon and ends with lasgun
idk if i want to switch nexus for flurry
mb not
resistanse is low
and rate is high as is
running mettle/perfect timing with a nexus trauma?
flurry no longer drops instantly, so you can quell and maintain it
For real??
that is fucking sexy
i would personally go flurry too
given that you're not going Surge (which doesn't work on Trauma's secondary fire anyways)
and you wanna be spamming rending shockwave as much as possible
i think empowered psionics is broken on brain rupture
it's supposed to add 50% damage
instead it just doesn't
well, it adds a bit, but nowhere near 50%
because it buffs BB base damage, not brain rupture
hmm, interesting description and maffs
Fartshart maths.
where patch
In reality it doesnt, you can always do a quick secondary tap, stun/stagger them, and then do a full charge.
yes
flurry is more dps than crit and makes it safer
we have talents now
