I think the benefit of using gaze with BR would be that BR is a weakspot kill so it can help stack the bonuses faster with the finesse perk. The finesse modifier should affect BR damage because it’s weakspot damage. So with the EP bonus I imagine you could two tap a crusher in damnation with gaze up. I’ll have to try this later. Sounds like it might be decent if I want to pew pew.
tight birch
Oh yeah, forgot about perilous at the top. I think wildfire probably isn't doing much of the spreading, nor is it probably needed

Ep would be helpful to not insantly hit 100% peril
As well
tight birch
@summer prairie I think your suggestions are going to be good if voidstrike gets nerfed, as it stands even on damnation I don't find myself having to block often / getting a crit after 5 weakspot hits just seems unnecessary with how much damage the staff does right now, so I just took some more general defensive / quell nodes.
I figure you can maybe proc Kinetic Flayer on bosses / crushers / reapers every so often, but I'm not sure where I would put that one point, maybe in Unlucky For Some if you wanted to support the team a bit more.
Or I need to get good at pulling out my sword and blocking more to make kinetic deflection more valuable 
ebon jolt
True aim is useful if you want to forgo warp nexus for warp flurry.
I find charge time is my main nemesis when using the voidstrike.
It’s pretty talent point expensive though.
tight birch
I feel like I could lose the points in shriek too and just almost never use it unless I'm about to explode, keep all of my warp charges
might be some free points there
obtuse moth
use the warp siphon keystone with peril reduction, if you stack peril reduction you can get up to 51% (6% *6 + 5% * 3) , makes a huge difference with surge staves, although i think i usually only roll with about 29-41% peril gen reduction and still notice a huge difference
tight birch
True aim is useful if you want to forgo warp nexus for warp flurry.
~~Yeah if I drop the venting shriek points I can also grab true aim, ~~though I think warp nexus is probably the ideal choice for voidstrike, but probably depends on how you're using it
Just kidding forgot I didn't take Warp Rider yet 
ebon jolt
use the warp siphon keystone with peril reduction, if you stack peril reduction ...
Will try. I’ve been meaning to slap a surge staff on my Purgatus build and test it out. I’ve been using venting shriek for horde clear and it’s been working so well I feel like I don’t even need a purge staff sometimes. Always sad to see all those charges go though.

I found it to be hurting after enemy health buffs. I can’t 1 tap enemy shooters anymore with my previous perk loadout.
I think my agripinaa has 79 damage and a 10% weakspot perk.
royal granite
well i'm not an expert, i use it on vet not psyker
lyric burrow
Agripinna iag is one of the few guns i havent used much
I like columnus iag but its not great by any means
Pre patch vet made it work well that was about it tho
lyric burrow
Yeah ammo kills it
Esp since columnus has fast fire rate but lower damage with massive recoil
royal granite
agripinaa didn't give me any trouble
plucky flax
You are pro. I find all infantry autogun to have large recoil too. It just sucks to shoot more than 3 or 4 rounds.
tight birch
Is this worth it as a dueling sword or is the mobility just too awful?
plucky flax
I wouldn't use it personally. At least 50% for the 5 dodges.
royal granite
i never full auto unless something is literally staring up my nostrils
plucky flax
Also mobility stat is very good for duelling sword for the speeeeed

Also mobility stat is very good for duelling sword for the speeeeed
The Obscurus looks pretty good, is it alright as a Force Sword or should I just wait for a Deimos? Seems like that one is recommended more often

royal granite
did you know iags actually have more recoil if you're crouching?
frank moat
Deimos and Illisi are both good but Obscurus got power crept the heck out since launch and has a mid moveset
plucky flax
Deimos and illisi outshine obscures.

Illisi more horde clear, deimos more single target.

you can change 2 things on a weapon of the perks and blessings, so you can either change both perks, both blessings, or one of each
those choices are then locked in so you can only change the things you already changed

fairly random builds over there, you can get some inspiration I guess
not that you can go terribly wrong
royal granite
doing a build feels pretty intuitive to me, i haven't felt the need to look anything up
i didn't really think about the fact that kinetic flayer is kinda bad until someone mentioned it here, that's about it
bleak tulip
it used to be less bad when you could at least get a free warp charge out of it but now its basically useless
thorny oyster
Do any of the weapon perks apply to assail?
royal granite
only if you swap to the weapon after throwing the darts
bleak tulip
dunno its nice, keystones are kind of just "which button do you want to be better" and warp is just your F getting CDR
thorny oyster
Experiment yourself. Some builds might be sus af.

only if you swap to the weapon after throwing the darts

summer prairie
with void and assail you definitely will
plucky flax
Maybe only purg might have trouble with elites kill speed.
I definitely top all the specials and elites kill when using trauma and surge.
bleak tulip
there is also so many elites to kill now that you basically always get value out of it

Also very easy to grab

lethal lagoon
My only issue with purge is my staff is my anti-carpace now that BB is lame. And everything dies pretty fast, it feels so niche now.
royal granite
BB was always lame
plucky flax
Purge might have trouble with getting the actual kill because of slow ramp up time, if you have really good teammates.
royal granite
i kind of like how fast it is with EP
plucky flax
Which is rare in random pubbing.

I would use BB 90% of the time throughout a match and be well into first place. Now It's just too slow compared to everything else. And the boss damage is so mid compared to other classes, wasn't that bad before.

I tried a game with it and then a game right after without it, geniunely didn't notice a difference.
clear heath
anyways i'm basically relying on all the soulblaze talents for horde dps
royal granite
the stagger is the entire point of smite
clear heath
Pretty much spamming F shriek for soulblaze on hordes, taking out elites with surge staff to reduce it's cooldown and also to burn nearby stuff
lethal lagoon
Surge get's the chain bonus

he is taking the smite node for +1 chain for surge
clear heath
yeah
royal granite
oh that works?
royal granite
that's funny
lethal lagoon
Yeah, probably a bug, but fun for now.
royal granite
i mean it's worth it to have it on smite if nothing else
clear heath
Anyways it's pretty much a shriek spam / soulblaze build, and i'm pretty much only taking smite for the left nodes
clear heath
occassionally i'll use smite if i'm clutching and i've already burned everything to 10 stacks and i'm just waiting for them to all die
lethal lagoon
Maybe I'm just blind
queen fog
I don't really notice the extra jump on smite either though
You notice it more on the left click version compared to the heavy
lethal lagoon
Ah, I never left click
clear heath
Smite chains so much it doesn't matter
for surge staff it's nice to hit 3 gunners
just to stagger them all and do a bit of damage
lethal lagoon
Yeah, the ranged cc is a bit wild
And surges does enough damage you can just spam left click during the right click charge to kill shooters
clear heath
it's funny that node is more useful for the staff than the actual blitz it's tied to

So I'm not getting the same "difference" you getting in the picture. It's more that smite's aim is a bit random and sometimes you'll get a good cast and sometimes bad.
royal granite
are you sure? i tried multiple times
lethal lagoon
Yeah, I mean I see the extra chain happening, so it's not not happening, but it's definitely not too substantial. Smite aim seems finicky. I keep retrying it and I randomly get better results without the trait and with, back and forth.

How does bloodthirsty and blazing spirit work on the ilisi. The crit happens, the soulblaze gets applied and then it dies? So with wildfire it would then spread to the next targets? Then you apply another 4 so that target would then have 8 and another 4 spread? Although killing everything with the sword seems more efficient. I guess that could help with horde clear on the other force swords.

Hey y’all! I’m a level 30 Psyker that’s usually on around 8pm-4am US East time. I’m looking for a squad that’s used to playing damnation and auric heresy/damnation. People with good communication that stick together. My GT is milkman3644, add me if you’re down!
Too convoluted for me to depend on an enemy to hit me at the right time to I can get an RNG buff

and poxwalkers having 375 hp

And I swear it doesn't mark enemies properly
One match I played today had a section with nothing highlighted, I was at no stacks, then I looked down and was at 15

not really, we barely got to the first church in there when the Weakened Nurgle Blessed Plague Ogryn spawned

sullen bobcat
Purge stacks are actually really good
brazen warren
gunker with the three shot burst crit damage specced head hunter can slay out on bosses if you have good aim and your team is covering you
brazen warren
purge is also good, but both are dps and not burst like thammer, krak, or frag bomb
spice veldt
getting boss DPS that doesn't require weakspot hits is troublesome
lethal lagoon
Flaming sword good at all on bosses?
brazen warren
double toss proc damage boosted stealth krak is funny, thammer is busted, and frag bomb is the best meme ever
I always smile when I throw a frag bomb

how are you supposed to use saber? i like it a lot less than illisi force sword

Flaming sword good at all on bosses?
no, you good boss swords are ds mkiv and demios, both having uncanny strike

how are you supposed to use saber? i like it a lot less than illisi force sword
the duelling swords are a single-target oriented family of weapons

i see, deffo not for my build then
spice veldt
so there's not much comparing them to the illisi's role especially when the mk2 didn't get properly buffed

wildfire is not great outside of creeping flames and purgatus staff, but fire sword can work if you are full crit spec gaze for the meme

Illisis blazing spirit + shred
terse rivet
Honestly the best boss dps for psyker I’ve personally found is a mark 4 dueling with uncanny strike and just hit the weak spot non stop but it’s not consistent you aren’t always going to be able to safely spam heavies into the bosses weakspot
lethal lagoon
You're better off with a bleed knife.
Or the crit on kill

Beyond that you can stagger lock bosses with a void strike staff if you hit headshots and it also does fair damage especially with a crit build.

vstrike staggering monsters is one of the interactions that I expect to be intentional
the rumbler can do it as well
lethal lagoon
Super stagger from the surge blessing does not feel as intended 🤷♂️
spice veldt
they seemed to have buffed the ability of certain weapons to do stagger during this round, such as with the duelling swords being able to stagger mutants and whatnot
brazen warren
VS definitely a good ranged option for handling bosses

Even with perma stunlock??
brazen warren
not huge dps, but the stagger can clutch

I thought you needed both?

You dont need Surge to stagger bosses if you hit weakspot

having the door getting closed on you with a boss around is also a real banger

having the team with you is more for disabler coverage when fighting a boss

you can't just leave the dude behind fighting the boss that's fucked up

I think if they are gonna nerf voidstrike, all they should do is make it so it doesn’t have infinite collateral. Like cap it at 10.

I just cannot for the life of me anticipate the Chaos Spawn grab if I'm tanking it

you're right; requires surge as well

So yeah, that doesn't feel intentional.

you're right; requires surge as well
Huh, are we talking about different staggers here then?
spice veldt
psyker being able to have baseline 39% crit chance 😔
acoustic spade
Cause if I get a fully charged hit on Plague Ogryn's head, it will stagger for long enough time to get the next one off, its just a matter of actually aiming it

why is its burst so slow
you have a stupid amount of crit procs with the columnus infantry autogun because of crit strings even with just 16.5% crit chance
no wait i forgot True Aim was a thing
so just a crit string moment
golden frigate
how did the crit strings work? I remember reading about them but completely forgot everything
spice veldt
basically if you roll a crit, it's not just one shot that will crit--multiple shots in sequence will crit
crit string that's 5 shots long
seems reasonable and makes perfect sense of course
golden frigate
as always, yeah
cyan notch
length of string depends on the gun
spice veldt
no crit strings for any melee weapons as far as I know
past locust
seems reasonable and makes perfect sense of course
Maybe to reduce the load on memory/CPU of a really rapid fire gun? So instead of calculating 100 recon las shots' crits, it does them in groups
I dunno, just a thought
spice veldt
i suppose
but they also don't balance it out
headhunter/True Aim + crit strings = very balanced

strong gulch
what's a good combo with this helmet
The cape so you can be a moth.
unique mist
is crit damage on a weapon multiplicative?
like is +10% crit damage perk multiplicative or additive
spice veldt
if you do 100 base damage and 125 damage on a crit, +10% crit damage means that you'll deal
125 + (125 - 100) * 0.1 = 127.5 damage on a crit instead
take a moment to understand how insane and psychopathic this calculation is
unique mist
what in the fuck
steel flame
And this is why sharks should be mathmaticians
unique mist
in reality that should be 100(1+0.25*1.1)
so it's increasing the bonus crit damage by 10% which is
psychopathic
someone from fatshark explain please
steel flame
In reality it should just multiply the crit damage by 1.1 like every other game in existence
unique mist
In reality it should just multiply the crit damage by 1.1 like every other game ...
yeah for sure
spice veldt
so not only do the +crit/weakspot perks have a lower numerical bonus than the other damage perks
they end up not being worth it on a good portion of weapons
well, nowadays weapons actually do have decent finesse multipliers
but for example, +10% weakspot damage on the mk4 duell is actually really a +6% damage bonus
unique mist
really what i'm asking is (i already switched sprint efficiency to +5% crit chance) should i swap weak spot or warp flurry
unique mist
is warp flurry good on purg?
what else are you running on purg
clear heath

unique mist
yeah same
purg applies double soulblaze stacks on a crit so it really likes + crit chance

less time spent charging -> less peril generated -> more full charge purg blasts -> more soulblaze spread

I get it's frustrating to be told something multiple times. I suspect others will do the same since you've got the marker indicating that you are new here. People tend to be helpful here, so they, myself included, will try to let you know of the colloquial terms so info isn't gate kept and and everyone can be apart of the conversation.

surge just does damage on its own now
I don't need teammates to take advantage of it
near wyvern
Does that work well on anything other than vraks?
the talent yes, the monstrosity damage, no
the way critical hits work is that there is a small time window when you will roll crits if you crit, so fast firing weapons will get multiple bullets as crits when you do crit, so you can proc true aim and get almost all your stacks up again during the crit window so you can crit again

Valid. Jumping back to VT2 after darktide feels so jarring and choppy. Feels kinda jank.

idk what the numbers are, but let's say Vstrike deals 700 base damage and 1400 damage on a weakspot
Then, +8% weakspot contributes (1400 - 700) * 0.08 = blah blah damage on a weakspot hit

i am new to the game so can someone show me what a illisi mk v force sword god roll look like
polar herald
I think its cause smite needs teamwork lol. like it does no damage but the stun time is godlike
clear heath
Like i've used it on occassion when everything's burning to death and i'm just waiting, or if need to safely build peril, or someone's doing data interrogator at a bad time
but really i'm just taking it to reach left side of the tree for psykinetic aura and wildfire
there are some people who abuse the infinite smite bug to hold it forever
polar herald
how is the bb upgrade
I heard the smite bug isnt even worth it cause you do trash damage lol
heavy ivy
I just want to see what a god roll for any weapon looks like honestly
limpid dome
So...then smite really is as trash as I think? Cause i could find no good use for it at all.
clear heath
it's like, occassionally good utility
but i don't find myself using it often over actually just killing things
like if you're in a coordinated team
blazing echo
clear heath
you can smite while someone's getting a revive off
mossy sonnet
scrier witch cosmetic goes good with it
blazing echo
@heavy ivy that's the only 'god roll' I have on my phone
strong gulch
Smite is CC. That's it.
polar herald
so its assail smite and bb upgrade right how is the bb upgrade?
strong gulch
It's not for damage. If you're looking for damage and choose smite, you'll be disappointed.
keen slate
Should i get this one over my current?
polar herald
so you can reroll 1 perk and 1 blessing but for the blessing you have to extract one off of another weapon right
keen slate
so you can reroll 1 perk and 1 blessing but for the blessing you have to extract...
You extract blessing from one weapon and you can place this blessing in all weapons of the same type (iirc)
strong gulch
Should i get this one over my current?
Not worth the melk coins unless you just want to.
polar herald
do i need multiple of the blessing to put it on multiple weapons?
keen slate
do i need multiple of the blessing to put it on multiple weapons?
IIRC no
You just unlock it
polar herald
ok so once I find deflector (dunno the highest version) i can just put it on all my force swords does the mark or type matter
strong gulch
do i need multiple of the blessing to put it on multiple weapons?
Weapon of the same type (exept staves) share a blessing pool.
So you can turn in a Mk 5 dueling sword with a blessing, and then put that blessing on any dueling sword.

Does the brain rupture on attack talent have a cd against 1 target or in general? Can I proc it multiple times against separate enemies ?
spice veldt
unfortunately, it's as bad as it sounds--the cooldown is in general
spice veldt
they didn't tune it after importing it from the old feat tree
clear heath
imagine spraying purge staff into a horde and every enemy just headpops
spice veldt
as a fun fact, the revolver bash will benefit from Surgical
harsh urchin
Revolver bash is so terrible
clear heath
better than staff bash
harsh urchin
For some reason it always knocks poxbursters down and towards you
spice veldt
don't talk to me or my 100% crit chance bash ever again
acoustic spade
perilous combustion + uncanny strike on melee maelstrom 😳 https://streamable.c...
is that just some ini changes or a mod?
spice veldt
the smooth graphics?
acoustic spade
ye
spice veldt
just changes to user_settings.config
acoustic spade
nice
clear heath
is it just texture quality?
spice veldt
acoustic spade
my desktop might benefit from it so I dont have to run XeSS on it to dip below 165fps
mossy sonnet
when tf are they gonna release red quality weps
spice veldt
is it just texture quality?
and a few other things, but texture quality is probably the most noticeable change
the other setting that people might like is static_sun_shadows to turn the sun-fog off on certain maps
acoustic spade
my desktop GPU can probably handle hi-res textures just fine sincei t has 16gb of VRAM
its the rest of the cfg that might interest it
spice veldt
😔 my 4gb vram mobile 3050ti

unique mist
what other blessings are useful on mk4 DS with uncanny besides precog, rampage and the other dodge one? i'm not finding much use from precog
acoustic spade
Atleast I can think of playing darktide on it now, and it doesnt randomly crash
that was fixed a few drivers ago
spice veldt
what other blessings are useful on mk4 DS with uncanny besides precog, rampage a...
shred
i also just realized that all blessings on the duelling swords are pretty useful
(although uncanny strike certainly stands at the top of the mountain)
but I generally prefer riposte over shred
acoustic spade
Some day I will find a better blessing to put on my Voidstrike in place of Terrifying Barrage
It already has Warp Flurry IV
I was hoping to find a Transfer Peril IV or even III but no luck
acoustic spade
atleast my old Voidstrike has Transfer Peril I on it so I know that the blessing exists
mossy sonnet
ogryns drool psykers rule

Is this staff worth a pickup?
acoustic spade
looks better than my surge staff atleast
clear heath
pretty good if you wanna use surge staff
also i don't have flurry 4 on surge so i'm jealous
rugged halo
unique mist
i picked it up and upgraded it and it just got terrifying barrage 4 lol
so i assume i switch sprint efficiency and terrifying barrage
clear heath
yeah
unique mist
what should i swap sprint efficiency to? crit chance, flak, carapace?
acoustic spade
so i assume i switch sprint efficiency and terrifying barrage
you could do worse
unique mist
kek
clear heath
this is mine
rugged halo
wish weapon trading was a thing
unique mist
that's similar to how my voidstrikes kept turning out
run and gun on literally every roll
until i finally got surge
clear heath
I like flak and carapace
Cara because otherwise killing crushers is exhausting
Flak covers a lot of enemies
mossy sonnet
i swear by my purgatus staff
clear heath
surge staff is just on the line of being passable for crushers, so i feel like carapace perk pushes it into being decent at it
acoustic spade
Atleast my Purgatus Staff has like, THE best blessings around "🙂"
ebon jolt
My laspistol enthusiest friends. What blessing do you run?
spice veldt
infernus + dumdum
laspistol is practically suppression immune so you don't need between the eyes, and there's Empathic Evasion to take the role of ghost
acoustic spade
laspistol is practically suppression immune so you don't need between the eyes, ...
Wait, the blessing that makes you immune to suppression actually works?
spice veldt
yeah it works
ebon jolt
Just picked up a T4 dumdum for less that 1500 token thingies. Now I just need to find infernus. And a good base weapon...
acoustic spade
Cause this vet talent doesnt work
spice veldt
the problem is that if you're in a situation where you need Between the Eyes... good luck getting a headshot while suppressed
and it's particularly the infantry lasguns that their sway while suppressed is fucked
acoustic spade
Shouldnt suppression immunity remove that inaccuracy if it works tho?
spice veldt
yeah it removes it
but you need to get a headshot for it to first work
and you're going to have a difficult time getting a headshot in the first place while suppressed
ebon jolt
The hipfire on the good enough if you're somewhat close too.
acoustic spade
yeah but I'm just surprised that there is a codesnippet somewhere that actually makes you suppression immune
spice veldt
o yeah
acoustic spade
since the Vet talent doesnt
spice veldt
pre-patch vet's ult used to have it built-in
but they moved the suppression immunity into another node
(but it's active all the time instead of during the ult, so it is what it is)
acoustic spade
if it was active
spice veldt
(but also a lot of weapons being kind of fine while suppressed)
acoustic spade
I run Revolver on my vet and I can tell you, the talent definitely doesnt work
ebon jolt
Really? I run my infantry lasgun and it makes things soooo much better.
clear heath
I don't really remember ever getting bothered by suppression on recon las
does recon las get affected by it less?
spice veldt
it works just testing in the psykhanium
different weapons have varying amounts of sway from suppressioon
e.g., helbores having basically none of it lamayo
does deadshot still make the weapon sway whenever it ends
acoustic spade
I can tap a gunner head reliably during a match with a revolver, but if they start shooting anywhere near me, none of the bullets hit
spice veldt
uh oh
acoustic spade
maybe there's some stupid bullshit and it doesnt work without exe stance equipped or something
spice veldt
deadshot is still fucked in that regard
brazen warren
lasguns are either "this is great, one shotting all the things!" or "I can't aim at all because I am 100% supressed at all times"
spice veldt
maybe there's some stupid bullshit and it doesnt work without exe stance equippe...
seems to also work w/o executioner's stance
are you running Deadshot?
acoustic spade
No, Voice
spice veldt
the reduced sway on ADS but consumes stam talent
acoustic spade
nope
spice veldt
hmm weird
acoustic spade
I just quickly tested it in the Psykhanium myself and there it does work, so maybe theres some stupid buff-blocking happening in a real match situation
formal acorn
how can you get better staffs? like is there a certain time or place to get the highest percentage stats?
and how important is critical damage compared to normal damage
ebon jolt
I remember back when high peril on the psyker caused suppression on the revolver. So glad they fixed that one.
formal acorn
lv 30 btw
brazen warren
brunts armory for a high statroll, then get hadron to brick it for you a few times until you get 2/4 of the things you want and go from there
maiden sleet
half turtle
whats the hightest roll i can get?
80% on each stat, 380 total (which is less than 80% on every stat)
magic vessel
surge WHY CAN'T THIS BE ME

Ok hear me out

usually each staff has a "best" dump stat so you want 60 there and 80 everywhere else
