psyker-class

[whole oxide]

well, its the row of nodes immediately below the combat ability nodes

if its not that, then idk what else it would be referring to

[summer prairie]

it doesn't make sense that you can get everything if you go shield, but not if you take the other two

[still hearth]

Psyker tree RIP

Shield supremacy

[whole oxide]

i guess it doesn't really change anything if you're going shield or scriers, but screws over shriek pretty hard

[eternal junco]

shriek is bae

rip kinetic deflection

[regal musk]

I still dont get where you could read that as removing paths.

[near wyvern]

That is true but then again we are talking about fatshark

[whole oxide]

it says "incorrect navigational behaviour", which presumably refers to the ability to go back "up" from the central health-boost node

nowhere else on any tree can you move "up"

[eternal junco]

could also just be bugs relating to the tree

[near wyvern]

most likely this since you can see the three nodes are not vertical but you actually go up

[eternal junco]

I mean they could just drag that middle node up

[summer prairie]

they might, but the wording doesnt indicate that

[still hearth]

Locking your keystone based on your ability is really dumb

[eternal junco]

"fixed an area"

that's so vague

[whole oxide]

option a) do thing people want
option b) do thing people hate

fatshark: hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[near wyvern]

they wouldn't even hesitate to take a

so they go b

cause fatshark logic

[ebon jolt]

Wait. I wouldn’t be able to have extra crit and kinetic defection in all my builds ?

😨

[eternal junco]

we don't know that

the wording is too vague to have any clue what they mean

[normal radish]

If they do that I might have to book a flight to sweden

[near wyvern]

still specualtion but prepare your soul

[eternal junco]

kinetic deflection goes hard with dueling swords

but it kinda needs the quell rate buff

[normal radish]

Kinetic Deflection + Deflector goes so hard no I do not care that Deflector isn't optimal

[still hearth]

Deflector is bad stop blockingg

Blocking is only for res

[ebon jolt]

I thought they were talking about fixing that bug where sometimes you allocate points but the paths don’t light up so you don’t know you’ve taken a node.

[eternal junco]

yeah just go run at that daemonhost

[still hearth]

Just dodge it ez

Also don't aggro daemonhosts smh

[idle bay]

So with potentially BAD fixing of that part of tree - i can get a few free points that i can no longer spend on path to KD.... Both sucks and both cool - more toughness nodes for me

[near wyvern]

the reason I really use kinetic deflection is because it makes ressing so good

[idle bay]

The reason why i take it, also to tank monstrosities in lazy way

[still hearth]

That's reasonable

Not ideal but yknow

[near wyvern]

Yeah chaos spawns actually become dangerous when infinite dodges are gone if you don't have kinetic deflection

[idle bay]

I miss time when Psyker was able to just hold block standing and facetank DH for as long as needed

[ebon jolt]

“Nooo. Infinite dodges are gone!”
“Bro. Git good. Stop dodging and start blocking.”

[still hearth]

Every other weapon without infinite dodges already:
Am I a joke to you??

[idle bay]

Also you have no stamina as class and here is nerf to the pathing to node that helps with blocking 🙂

[still hearth]

Psyker has 0.5s stamina regen delay

[idle bay]

And 3 base stamina

[kind jay]

swap to 3x stam curios

boom done

[potent echo]

yes

[still hearth]

I never struggled blocking bosses with other weapons

[idle bay]

One Stamina curio is always on on me

[near wyvern]

Same

[kind jay]

yaaas

[ebon jolt]

Psyker has 1 base stamina.

[idle bay]

taking 9% peril per block without +3 Stamina is too much for me

[still hearth]

Stam users

Ew

What are you using it for??

[potent echo]

stam users

[still hearth]

Rescuing people??

[kind jay]

rezzing the more fragile classes

[idle bay]

For quick short-range repositioning and as peril cost reduction for Kinetic Deflector

[still hearth]

Deflector...

Nah its okay I use it too

But never ran stamina

Never felt it was necessary

[idle bay]

Stamina drastically reduces the peril cost of blocking

[still hearth]

It's stil super low

[unique mist]

ok my question is why do I only have 2 stamina on duelling sword but it has what seems to be the best dodges

[idle bay]

3 Gunners and 2 reappers baraging at you may say differently 🙂

[unique mist]

like I run faster with DS, dodge further and can dosge 5 times. Why only 2 stamina

[still hearth]

Dodging. Sliding. Not being in their line of fire tho

[still hearth]

Because of literally those reasons?

[unique mist]

shield and gunner resist

[unique mist]

no but logically

[still hearth]

Ah yeah logic

In a video game

[unique mist]

why can I only run a bee's dick distance with this super light weapon

[still hearth]

[whole oxide]

i mean, DS not being good at pushing, makes sense

[unique mist]

but with a chain sword I have like...8 stamina

[still hearth]

It has really low sprint cost though

[unique mist]

I don't have mobility stats knowledge yet tho

[naive imp]

Really good analogy. I knew exactly how far you meant. 😂

[idle bay]

I prefer x3 Sniper resist. Since they are bugged as kark. You dodged? Behind cover? Nope it's only works in Psycanum not with in-game lag.

And this cover works and that cover don't for unknown reason

[whole oxide]

the resist perks have diminishing returns, so, 3 isn't really worth it, 2 is the sweetspot

[unique mist]

yeah plus with only running 2 resists I get to run 2x tough 2x health 3x combat ability

although rn its only 1x health and 1x curio chance i cri erytim

[idle bay]

I need that miniscule sliver of health left after unfairly being shot by sniper through thick solid wall. So i'm fine with diminishing returns 🙂

[kind jay]

that's why i take 1 wound. to counter the bs

but also my pugs fall apart once i do so idfk anymore

[obtuse walrus]

Brain Burst Gang 💪

[still hearth]

It's simple multiplicative

[obtuse walrus]

Also how the fuck do y'all see Level 300 Players

[still hearth]

0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8

About 49% resistance at 3 instead of 60%

It's not a bad choice

I always tripple down on my choices

[ebon jolt]

You don’t all run 3 Exp?

[kind jay]

nah 3x exp so you can make that true level go up

[obtuse walrus]

I thought the cap is level 30

[kind jay]

it is but exp keeps recording

[idle bay]

True Level mod that shows how much you played specific character...

[onyx sentinel]

I've seen blazing spirit + nexus trauma mentioned a couple of times, what makes it better than the regular warp flurry + rend build?

[whole oxide]

because it allows you to deal damage with the "outer" blast as well as the "inner blast"

regular flurry only does meaningful damage with the inner blast

and the outer blast is significantly larger aoe

[lyric burrow]

Its versatility is just so good

[ebon jolt]

I was trolling because that curio perk is garbage and I’ve been asking for it to be removed since launch 😑

[lyric burrow]

Being able to horde clear well while maintaining the decent single target + more range than purge and also the CC ability with knocking over/killing problem elites

Yeah curio perk is ass

Thankfully they made getting a good curio not too bad so you can usually avoid it

[fresh reef]

+xp is great when you're actually leveling though

[ebon jolt]

Still hurts when you get a 21% health curio and your first upgrade is XP.

[fresh reef]

+6% xp, +15% Pox Hound Resist, +15% Tox Flamer resist

[ornate hamlet]

Howdy folks, im told I can actually get info on the space wizard in this chanel 😄

[still hearth]

You can certainly ask for it

[idle bay]

Fun fact: Experience/ Ordo Dockets / Chance for Curio(Weapon) have increased weight in RNG when upgrading Curios compared to other perks.

[still hearth]

That's not fun.

[idle bay]

Like twice the chance of other perks

Fun fo Fatshark it seems

[ornate hamlet]

I wasn't very well versed in psycher to begin with. Oggy main, what weapons are most useful right now if I want to do an agressive frontliner type of fighting style ? \

[idle bay]

You definetely can 🙂

[idle bay]

Well there is always Antax MK V with Brutal Momentum for really aggressive style. Dueling Sword MK IV goes there as well. Undiying classis - Illsi Force Sword or Deimos Force sword.

[wooden flare]

If you want your entire team to hate you, Assail

[ornate hamlet]

why do people hate Assail? Is it the kill stealing ?

[idle bay]

They are jelous. And think it's too easy to use (it's really is)

[near wyvern]

Check Atheneum in pinned messaged

[near wyvern]

It's a no brain play style which is way too effective and spammable for the effort

[round glade]

Cuz it made psyker really strong when the other classes felt a little lacking

[wooden flare]

I was a Zealot and had Death Defied or whatever the cheat death skill is called procced with Holy Revenant and before I could start killing to heal up, Assail killed everyone then I got one shot

[rain meadow]

im kinda sad they are removing infinite lightning

[wooden flare]

So yeah I have a bias against Psykers who run Assail

Now Smite Psykers

[near wyvern]

Assail is far from the strongest things in our kit but it's stupidly effective for how easy it is to use

[rain meadow]

like i understand WHY

but still

[ornate hamlet]

Ehhh, Psycher was a higher skill ceeling . I have seen really good psychers clutch entire games before solo .

[wooden flare]

Smite Psykers are the giga chads of Psykers

[idle bay]

Teams with 3 smite psykers - go go! 4th player always quits when his PC starts blowing black smoke 🙂

[ornate hamlet]

Still is looking at this guide

[rain meadow]

i hope eventually they make it so that empowered smite gets like quell on kill or smth

thatd be neat

[wooden flare]

Or has less peril buildup

Or gains the ability to stun bosses

[rain meadow]

no thatd be busted lmao

[idle bay]

I'm actaully want fast peril build-up on it. To Use Shriek with Soulfire

[wooden flare]

I mean if Zealot can bully a Chaos Spawn to commit cliff jump with the power of God

Why can’t we taze em

[rain meadow]

i only want some kind of peril reduction or quell on the empowered version

[unique mist]

I am just glad bb is getting a buff

[idle bay]

Ogyns can stun-lock everyone but Captains with just a fist attack on Shovel

[near wyvern]

Why? Why would you want to do lightning for an infinite amount of time and tickle enemies to death when you can just hold them in place for 8 seconds and delete them...

https://youtu.be/XLXpJMyRQdg?si=2ydNUDE5ACMBdPZ2&start=17

[mental rock]

You can already perma stun a couple bosses with voidstrike

[rain meadow]

dont get me wrong i LOVE flames

[unique mist]

i really need to get some bb penances done

[rain meadow]

my favorite build for psyker is soul blaze + brain rupture

[unique mist]

You can even do it solo with surge voidstrike staff

[wooden flare]

How do you push enemies off cliffs with Pysker?

[rain meadow]

mass aoe fire for hordes with brain rupture for single targets

[wooden flare]

I’m still having trouble getting that done

[mental rock]

Use venting shriek+force sword push

[wooden flare]

Force sword push?

Is that when you charge it up then Melee

[mental rock]

I remember when that penance was like 50 enemies in beta

No it's the push attack

[rain meadow]

the block push

[wooden flare]

When you’re blocking?

[rain meadow]

yes

[wooden flare]

Bruh I’m a dumbass

[rain meadow]

yes

XD

you sure ur not suppossed to be in #ogryn-class

[wooden flare]

I’m in all of them

Zealot’s my main

[rain meadow]

so am I im just teasing you

[near wyvern]

Heretic

[wooden flare]

I’d be so down for an invasion style PvP event where a player becomes a boss and attacks you

[rain meadow]

my psyker is my highest level tho

[near bluff]

they aren't locking it what

where are people getting taht from

[still hearth]

Some weird ambigious patch note stuff.

Where it mentioned something about psyker being able to path in unintended ways

And the only part people can see is where they keystones are since the middle node is below the other two

[deft osprey]

Should I focus on toughness or health or go in between as a psyker? Currently I have 94 toughness and 265 health and +1 wound

[near bluff]

thats not changing, you can still go dd on shriek if you want

[still hearth]

yeah it seemed a really silly change to lock it that way.

[near bluff]

its not a change tahts happening so ye

[still hearth]

You want around 150 toughness to avoid certain ranged enemies and more toughness also means less damage taken in many situations so.

And Psyker has no global DR I think

Only toughness DR

[near bluff]

or you can be at 90 toughness using scriers

and use dodge on crit to immune ranged dmg

[modest pasture]

Psyker becomes 'blessed' by Nurgle. Diarrhea Sorcery for all.

[wooden flare]

So a Chaos Spawn

[modest pasture]

Could you actually imagine though?! Thatd be a fascinating experience.

Like an invasion from Dark Souls

[eternal junco]

inb4 kinetic deflection assail psyker

Immune at close range, unfightable at midrange

or even zealot with his cross pulse thing

Invuln on demand with enemy cc

[ebon jolt]

You know what we really need as a curio perk? Immunity to barrel explosion knock back and damage.

[solemn kayak]

anyone wanna do the psyker boss penance?

[paper cloud]

Sure

[raven scarab]

force sword loses infinite dodges

how am i suppose to not die on a horde when everyone else is dead

[mellow gorge]

Just don't let them die

Ez

[raven scarab]

what if they suck

im gonna have to get a build what'll keep me alive. rn im just using assail with force sword and surge staff just looks pretty

[primal aurora]

We get some cleave and damage boost though

[viral solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tdyU_gW6WE

EVERY PSYKER NEXT PATCH

@spice veldt Y U ALWAYS BUSIN BRO

[ebon jolt]

Spam block push with kinetic deflection? Not that it will help you deal damage.

[raven scarab]

should i swap riposte for deflector?

wont be doing that much doding anymore either way

[primal aurora]

Anyone else feel like Assail nerf isn't that harsh? Personally it doesn't bother me that much because I usually play on heresy, but I saw how it outperforms most weapons at lower difficulties.

[raven scarab]

on paper it doesnt look that bad but guess will find out when it's out

[primal aurora]

True. I actually was expecting shard recharge rate nerf.

[ebon jolt]

I was expecting a fire rate and peril generation nerf to left click.

[whole oxide]

in all likelihood, this patch was put together before #13 was even released, so they've not incorporated any of the public feedback around assail

[worn cypress]

given that they mentioned vet tree rework I wouldnt be surprised to see more nerfs in that next balance patch

ye likely what ragnar says

[primal aurora]

Don't want it to be nerfed too much, I really like Psyker having extra weapon to balance out main ranged weapon. You use Surge for tough tanks - assail for hordes and specialists, you use flamer for hordes - can use brainburst vs elites.

[raven scarab]

so you're suppose to use surge on tanks instead of melee

[sullen bobcat]

Assail still needs to be usable but it needs a major nerf bat right now since it's way overperforming in the risk, reward, and resource department

[raven scarab]

good thing surge staves are getting a smoll buff aswell

[idle bay]

There is horde moving techinque - hold block and spam LMB for micro-push that do not build up peril and hold everyone in place. That way you can move freely through enemies

[worn cypress]

they did buff specialist hp so it might be more annoying to clear them with assail

[raven scarab]

with the force push thing, is there any difference if i'm lookin at the ground or at enemies when doing so. i've noticed it pushes more consistently if im lookin at the ground (while crouched)

but that could just be me thinking it's more consistent

[gray sky]

Looks like they messed up smite and that end of tree center talent

When you do the lightning with a charge, your peril is at a standstill and does not generate. So you can keep channeling lightning forever

[idle bay]

It's a well known bug mentioned in notes to next patch

To be fixed... "next week"

or somewhere else in near future

[gray sky]

Nice

[idle bay]

You can also spam Domes one after another - and you can draw a dick Portrait of the Emprah with them if you want

[worn cypress]

I was never able to trigger the smite bug lol I feel robbed

[digital narwhal]

Man, if only that 77% was in Charge Rate

:(

[fierce crest]

the good emperor giveth the good emperor taketh

[ebon jolt]

Anyone been using the shredder pistol? I’ve been wanting to give it a try but don’t have a good one.

[fringe tangle]

Flame version of the scythe is pretty cool.

[potent echo]

oh thats sick af

[obtuse moth]

used to be meta when pinning fire gave +100%, blessing now gives +25% :<

i like the laspistol fwiw

[still hearth]

The Shredder is still good

But its far more focused on maniac killing now than just

Killing everything

[ebon jolt]

Oh I wasn’t even thinking of pinning fire. I was looking at blaze away and the blessing for crit on continued fire. Seemed like it would be a good fit for boss and maniac damage. And with toughness regen on crit and ranged damage immunity on crit it seemed like you’d be tanky while firing.

[scarlet timber]

Okay

Can someone help me?

How do I build a psyker

With dueling sword

And purge staff

[limber marsh]

It feels weird to have smite staff and play with smite

[fringe tangle]

Emperor palpatine build be like.

[still hearth]

Something like this is what I usually run

[scarlet timber]

POWERR PSYTHON???

Wtf you crazy ? 🤪

Smite ???

[still hearth]

I don't even know what you're talking about.

[scarlet timber]

Your keystone

[still hearth]

Yes? It's literally the best for purgatus + dsword build

[scarlet timber]

Dude you got no range why you not running brain burst ?

[still hearth]

30m fire spit

[scarlet timber]

Listen

If you smiting

You ain't purging

[still hearth]

Yeah

[scarlet timber]

So I disagree with you right there

[still hearth]

And you want to be purging all the time

???

[scarlet timber]

Yeah

[still hearth]

So you only smite when necessary

[scarlet timber]

Unless something is too far

Then I brain burst

[still hearth]

But BB is slow and I don't like it

So I'd rather have smite to stun annoying stuff

Than to kill one sniper once every 10 years

[ebon jolt]

I run that but with BR instead of smite and I trade a couple of the points from the top for crit and kinetic deflection. I like my BR.

[scarlet timber]

Not with empowered psyonics it isn't

[still hearth]

It's still awfully slow

It's like 2.2s or something with ALL the speed ups

[ruby meadow]

Your F(the shout) is pretty good at stunning stuff to maneuver again.

[ebon jolt]

You 100% take warp siphon for Purg build.

[still hearth]

I mean you can do whatever you want but this is what I run and it works great

[ebon jolt]

Building warp charges is a joke when everything is on fire.

[still hearth]

You just rinse warp charges constantly

[scarlet timber]

Also why not shield ?

[still hearth]

Because I don't need a shield

Didn't need it before

Don't need it now

It's nice sometimes

But the shriek combo with soulblaze is strong

[scarlet timber]

Yeah then why you running purge that point

Just run voidstrike

Or anything single target

[still hearth]

Because it still clears stuff way better and is much more reliable for warp charges than the other options

I can't shout every second but I can use purge every second

[summer prairie]

we went from someone asking "how do I build a psyker" into the same person telling everyone how it is done

[still hearth]

It is what it is

[scarlet timber]

No but I'm just confused

[still hearth]

Well I clearly don't have the issues you have

[summer prairie]

just like more damage is good, more sb is good

venting shriek isn't capped to 15 stacks of sb like purg

[still hearth]

Snipers are the only annoying ones

But you can often shout them

Or just avoid them

[scarlet timber]

Cuz I remember everyone here talking about how empowered psynonics is good here

[still hearth]

It's only good on Assail

And even then

[frank moat]

Empowered Psyonics is good because it breaks Assail and Smite

[ruby meadow]

Empowered is bugged and makes Smite not generate peril

[still hearth]

Smite is still garbo with Empowered.

Actually

[scarlet timber]

Then why you running it?

[still hearth]

Smite is garbo because Empowered

[scarlet timber]

[still hearth]

Because then people don't use it properly

[frank moat]

Yea I run Warp with Smite anyway

[still hearth]

Listen you should

Take out smite

Like 5% of the game

At worst

And that's whent here's a horde of 10 crushers about to beat up your afk vet

It also generates peril out the ass

[whole oxide]

ehhhh, shriek+smite seems like a waste with purgatus, it's not covering any gaps, shield+assail would make more sense

[still hearth]

For some reason

[scarlet timber]

I mean I been running skyrer gaze with dueling sword tbf

It hit bosses really hard

But thats just me making random stuff

[still hearth]

Idk I like Shriek. It can be even better than Shield to deal with gunners and shooters

Spit at them at 100% peril

Now they died

Easy

[scarlet timber]

You could just run at then with 50% movement speed from

Skryer gaze

XD

[still hearth]

And Purgatus has massive suppression values

So most enemies don't even shoot if you're flaming them

[scarlet timber]

I see yeah

[still hearth]

But yeah I have 0 issues running this build.

And BB might be better but

Idgaf

I hate using BB

Or BR

Whatever

It's hopefully better after teh buff

But rn I just feel icky each time I use it

And half the time someone else kills the target

[scarlet timber]

I see the other keystone

I never see anyone run it

[still hearth]

It's because it has a lot of issues

But its pretty strong when it works

Like you can have 24% damage with Warp Charges permanently

Or 15% damage, 30% crit damage and 45% weakspot damage when you're lucky?

But the 24% damage also increase crit damage and weakspot damage's total numbers instead of just the bonus damage

[ebon jolt]

I like BR because even though it’s a bit slow it helps with generating warp charges more consistently than smite. Which lets you Vent faster, leading to faster and cheaper BRs and more creeping flames.

[still hearth]

You could be crazy and run 30 stacks of Disrupt Destiny though

Wdym more consistently than Smite

Just press RMB on Smite

It gives you a billion peril

[acoustic osprey]

Every class channel I see either people run just meta or realize a lot can work lol

[ebon jolt]

Warp charges not peril. By killing specials or elites.

[still hearth]

Ah

Right

But Assail

Kills most things 10x faster than BR

[ebon jolt]

Smite is definitely better for when that mob of 12 crushers and 6 bulwarks rolls up on you 🤣

[summer prairie]

purg suppression + empathic evasion I guess https://streamable.com/utmyjc

[still hearth]

Some will say its staged.

[ebon jolt]

But then I couldn’t pick up the CDR aura buff. I need to vent in less than 10s! 🥸

[obtuse moth]

if you shriek first or apply sb through some other talent then try to apply SB with a weapon, does it cap at the weapon (or blessing's) cap? ie. the total number can't exceed second application method, OR does each weapon keep track of how many stacks it applies on TOP of existing stacks

[summer prairie]

at your weapon/blessing cap

[winged phoenix]

This is what pure perfection looks like, Some people may not like it, but this is what peak psyker looks like.

[obtuse moth]

so apply weapon stacks first then

[summer prairie]

against a boss you want to first get to 15 stacks and then shout to get to 21

[ornate hamlet]

staged at the psykhanium

[obtuse moth]

thats what your other two weapons are for tho

[bronze seal]

Can't believe we missed this in the patch notes yesterday -

● Fixed an area around the combat ability in the Psyker tree, where talent node paths would allow for incorrect navigational behaviour

[ornate hamlet]

navigator pskyer foreshadowing

real and true real and true real and true real and true real and true

[obtuse moth]

does that include anticipation or is that bugged?

[obtuse moth]

tyvm!

[summer prairie]

the dodge duration doesn't seem to do anything

even if it did, based on my understanding of the code, it wouldn't make your dodge duration 50% longer, just increase dodge "linger time" by 50%, and the linger time seems to be very short

[still hearth]

I love the statement of "Even if it did work it wouldn't work as anyone expected it"

[normal radish]

Sibling you are insane

[barren atlas]

im trying to craft a good mk V blaze force sword rn what blessings/perks should i be looking for on it?

[ornate hamlet]

Are you saying our shreak can actually kill things? On its own?

[still hearth]

Yes, actually.

[ebon jolt]

So you mostly take the talent for the +1 dodge? The real reason for the unlimited FS dodge nerf appears! No one was taking this talent 🤣

[still hearth]

AND NO ONE WILL!

OUR EVIL PLAN SUCCEEDED??

[ornate hamlet]

It can? On Damnation?

[still hearth]

Yes

It will kill poxwalkers and groaners from full HP without anything else. And I think most of the shooters

[ebon jolt]

6 stacks of soulblaze is enough to kill all non-elite or specialist enemies in damnation I believe.

[still hearth]

Might kill all the bruisers too, yeah.

I haven't tested

[ebon jolt]

Maybe not scab bruisers.

[still hearth]

It also kills Snipers

[normal radish]

I mean 6 dodges is still pretty fuckin nice if you ask me

[still hearth]

If you need more than 5 dodges

[ornate hamlet]

Why do people not build for it more then if it is that powerful? Doesn't it also hit everything as far as your eye can see?

This would be an atomic bomb.

[still hearth]

You need more help than +1 dodge

[still hearth]

I mean it takes like 6 seconds to tick them down or something so its not as cool as just killing things instantly I guess.

[limber marsh]

Whole build please??

[ornate hamlet]

Ah, I thought you just take the direct 100-200 damage modifier for it. 🙂

[still hearth]

No you never take that one

It's always worse than soulblaze sadly

Except at maybe 0% peril?

But why are you shouting at 0% peril

[limber marsh]

Frustration from the world

[ornate hamlet]

To save my homies

[normal radish]

I'm just saying infinite dodges to 5-6 isn't that bad

[still hearth]

Yeah 5 is already more than enough.

[ebon jolt]

30m range.

[still hearth]

I mean Zealots are used to having 2 dodges

On two of their special weapons

[ebon jolt]

Thats because zealots are immortal.

[still hearth]

Just shove once

And you get dodges back

[long summit]

My god. I just realized I've been casting Smite wrong all this time...I didn't know the charge functioned like the Purg staff, cause I had never used the Purg staff before.

[summer prairie]

everyone should build for it

[still hearth]

They should give Force Swords a bit better dodges though

People talk about Assail

But a group of 4 Pskyers with Shriek

Literally instantly deletes anything they scream at

[summer prairie]

it goes through walls

[still hearth]

(Except bosses and crushers)

[ebon jolt]

Dome is pretty nice though. I’ve gotten good value out of it.

[ornate hamlet]

I might go back to shriek if that's the case

[still hearth]

I mean I love Dome but Shriek

Is so good

[ornate hamlet]

I was using gaze for some funny killing potential

[ebon jolt]

When I want to play gun psyker I use dome.

[still hearth]

Dome is great versus specials

[summer prairie]

dome is going to be pretty nice after the buffs, for sure

[still hearth]

Dumbass trappers and flamers

Thinking they get to exist??

[ebon jolt]

Nice to block bombers too. If you put the shield or dome in front of you.

[summer prairie]

since you'll get 6.5s of guaranteed up time no matter how many elites are shooting at it, I believe

[solemn stone]

it seems like i struck where it hurts

[normal radish]

I liked Voidstrike pre-patch and will continue to use it post patch either way

[ornate hamlet]

Just one shotting makes it sound like they instantly drop once you scream. 🙂 Which is a cool thought. But letting them die to dots allows my teammates to harvest all the kills beforehand.

[still hearth]

I mean you can hit a lot of enemies with it. And through all obstacles. It's hard for your team to take all the kills.

[frank moat]

I thought Voidstrike is hardly getting nerfed

And Assail remains dependent on how enemy health values change

[ornate hamlet]

So you just take this and nothing else and the dead will be done?

Why not this and gain 200 direct damage at 100% Peril?

[still hearth]

Because it's not 200 damage

And 200 damage is way less than the soulblaze

Which also stacks with your own soulblaze

And lets you go over the soulblaze staff cap.

[normal radish]

Also Soulblaze at high peril will always come out to more damage overall

[ornate hamlet]

I think I just don't understand this entire soulblaze thing.

[still hearth]

You need it to tick for about 2.25 seconds to do 200 damage to an enemy with soublaze

Roughly

[snow coral]

Really wish I could have dumbed the melee damage, but the other was stamina, otherwise I'm pretty happy

[still hearth]

Soulblaze is a DoT that is usually capped to the value of a blessing or a staff (15 for purgatus, I think it's 10 for Blazing Spirit blessing) but talents can go beyond that cap up to 31

And the DoT lasts for 8s before it loses a stack each 0.75s. And it deals damage every 0.75s

So after 3 ticks of soublaze you've already done more damage than the instant damage shout

But it stays for several more ticks

[ornate hamlet]

So how do you play this? It requires the Purgatory staff to work as you describe?

[still hearth]

I primarily do it with that staff since it synergizes well wtih it

[summer prairie]

It doesn't require anything

[still hearth]

But you can do it with just that build and peril

Just have above 85% peril or something

And shout

[dim parrot]

can u maybe post a build to that at some point?👀

[spice oar]

shields are a bit inconsistent with the sniper blocking

[normal radish]

Soulblaze spreading onto other trash in general is so good that it's worth a pick even if you don't run Purgatus

[ornate hamlet]

Yes that would be nice.

[dim parrot]

cause Im also really interested in this

[still hearth]

Something like this

[ornate hamlet]

Aren't they going to buff Purgatus in the next patch or was this only the staff melee attacks?

[still hearth]

It was buffed current patch

[dim parrot]

even tho I would have 2 get used to not using the dome...

[still hearth]

The shout has a similar effect

Since it staggers enemies

And the 30m cone is huge

But not as good in close quarters obviously

[summer prairie]

https://streamable.com/jhw54j

[frank moat]

No Wildfire?

[still hearth]

It is bad.

[dim parrot]

im so confused

[frank moat]

Coolio, I hadn’t had good results with it in Psykhanium but assumed I was doing something wrong

[still hearth]

Wildfire has a max stack of 4 and I think it can only ever apply 3 of those on its own.

And it also applies onto enemies that already have stacks but it doesn't increase it

[lyric atlas]

so whats the go -to psyker build these days

[still hearth]

So if something has 6 stacks it just vanishes basically

It does help keep stacks active sometimes I think

But overall I think it's bad

[normal radish]

I wonder how you'd rebuild if Wildfire was good

[still hearth]

Uhhh.

Maybe remove new Soulstealer

You're already getting 5% from crits and you run nexus on purg anyway

[whole oxide]

wildfire, ironically, is only bad with purgatus

[still hearth]

So you crit all the time

Wildfire is always bad if you care about things actually dying.

[summer prairie]

I'd run wildfire with a purg build for fun and minor benefit

[still hearth]

It only adds a bit of chip damage to most enemies

And it can't kill even groaners on Damnation on its own

So

If that's valuable to you then that's okay

[whole oxide]

the point of it isn't to 100% kill things on its own

[normal radish]

I thought Wildfire couldn't spread to trash

[still hearth]

Well it does like 60% on groaners

[whole oxide]

it sets some baseline stacks that you can add to with other sources, to make it easier to get to lethal stacks

[still hearth]

Maybe 40% on poxwalkers

And most people build to one-shot what they hit anyway

But yeah it does speed up horde clear some

[whole oxide]

3 stacks from wildfire does nothing, but with another 3 stacks from BS or WnR, suddenly thats lethal

[dim parrot]

wich one is better?

[still hearth]

Some people are like "BUT IT KILLED X WITHOUT ME HITTING IT" and

No

No it doesn't

[normal radish]

That damage is slightly painful

[still hearth]

Wildfire can't kill

[whole oxide]

i literally just explained that that isn't the point

[dim parrot]

I thought damge was dump stat :(

[normal radish]

I believe Quell speed is the dump stat for staves

[summer prairie]

it's still a dump stat, it scales badly

[dim parrot]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[still hearth]

The other issue is that it also applies stacks onto enemies that already have stacks so enemies that are closer can eat up wildfire stacks

[dim parrot]

all my money wasted ;-;

[summer prairie]

the right one is very good

[normal radish]

Not fully wasted in this case

[fresh reef]

Is it just me that think 90% of content creators have extremely bad takes?

[still hearth]

90% of people have extremely bad takes so seems in line.

[dim parrot]

hope? :O

[still hearth]

[fresh reef]

Fair point

[ornate hamlet]

What's this 25 stacks icon? 🙂

[still hearth]

I stopped watching all DT people tbh

[whole oxide]

the only one with valuable info is jsat

[still hearth]

It's reduced Peril cost after shouting.

[summer prairie]

it's the first venting shriek node

[fresh reef]

Watching a psyker build vid rn just because I wanted something to listen to

[vocal sundial]

is kinetic flayer good

[fresh reef]

Dude just said, and I quote

[normal radish]

Not related to Darktide but I heard a content creator say Magick Archer in Dragon's Dogma is bad which is possibly the shittiest take I've ever heard

[fresh reef]

"Unlucky for Some is best in slot"

[dim parrot]

wait so the 373 or 362?

[ornate hamlet]

So how did the person burn them down so quickly without any damage passive active? I just tried this in the testing area and it does basically nothing.

[summer prairie]

you have to shout when you are at 84+% peril

[normal radish]

Ideally you wouldn't want anyone to be getting downed in the first place

[summer prairie]

my weapon also has +flak damage which boosted it a bit

[ornate hamlet]

I did it at 100%. Doesn't kill anything higher than horde mobs and mobs in the testing area seem much more fragile than real ones.

[fresh reef]

Anything that relies on your team being explicitly bad, is bad

[still hearth]

The mobs in testing have the same stats as in game.

[summer prairie]

which higher horde mobs

[still hearth]

It'll kill all horde mobs, shooters and bruishers which is the most important. And do like 600+ damage to others.

[whole oxide]

you're definitely doing something wrong, it can kill scab shooters no problem

[summer prairie]

but just killing trash and some shooters is already amazing

[fresh reef]

Just checking, crit doesn't have any interactions with Brittle stacks like it does with Soulblaze right?

[normal radish]

Magick Archer is one of, if not the strongest vocation in DD with a literal one-shot ability that can one-tap the strongest boss in the game so

[summer prairie]

https://streamable.com/nj8p6p

[normal radish]

I love how these videos get more and more goofy each time you post them, I feel like the last one is just gonna be you one-shotting the boss in an Assassination mission from the beginning with venting shriek

[lyric atlas]

no build tips?

[rocky osprey]

how does one build for this

[pine shore]

Could someone tell me, what does this do and what are smite jumps exactly? And how many? https://i.imgur.com/w5HiD5q.png

[fresh reef]

Inb4 they accidentally add an extra zero to the one that does raw damage on shriek

[vocal sundial]

is this talent good

[summer prairie]

you don't need anything besides venting shriek/creeping flames, but in actual gameplay you'd want cdr aura and obvious stuff like warp rider for some extra damage

you want a weapon with flak too

[normal radish]

Basically so you know how smite crosses between multiple enemies? That's smite jumping, this skill increases the amount of enemies it can jump

[summer prairie]

warp siphon keystone for extra cdr and more shouting

[rocky osprey]

word. im assuming that tested on damnation too? cause thats kinda crazy

[still hearth]

It adds one more base jump which then spreads out 2 times (afaik)

[dim parrot]

what perks and blessings would u recommend on purgatus?

[still hearth]

There's more info in the pinned guide.

[fresh reef]

Nexus/Flurry

[dim parrot]

omg

[still hearth]

Unyielding and Crit Chance with Warp Nexus and then whatever. I run Warp Flurry but the benefit isn't super noticeable.

[fresh reef]

And for the love of God don't take Barrage

[normal radish]

Would actually make Warp rupture good

[dim parrot]

I got flurry and nexus as random xD

[still hearth]

I mean the one downside of Purgatus

Is that the blessings

Don't do much

Which is also good

But other than Warp Nexus

They're just barely there

[potent echo]

flurry is good when my staff dumps warp resist

[still hearth]

I also often run the warp charge peril resistance

But its annoying because it keeps me from stacking peril

So I can't shout as well

[potent echo]

i want my peril to climb quickly

[dim parrot]

ok 🤔, Im walking in a whole new territory

[still hearth]

Yeah it's a struggle

[potent echo]

i made a new purg just for this lmao

[old aurora]

yo guys I need halp. I rolled a duelling sword with pretty pog stats to kill elites.... but the perks and blessings kinda blow.. can I save this somehow?

[dim parrot]

thx 4 the help ^^

[potent echo]

keep riposte and unarmored

change the other 2 to maniac and uncanny

[old aurora]

uncanny was the rending one right?

[potent echo]

maniac/unyielding

yea

[old aurora]

k

thanks 🙏

[ornate hamlet]

Not sure what. I do not have the obvious understanding of things. In the 2 days I have been playing I only spammed Assail. 😉

[dim parrot]

we getting converted 2 the light site lmao

also assail got boring fast

[ornate hamlet]

They nerf literally everything that I use right now, and I don't even want to get used to this playstyle when it will be dead soon.

I hate Assail, it's so unappealing to watch. Looks very unimpressive and impactless.

[dim parrot]

I feel ya kinda

[whole oxide]

are you able to post your full build?

[small whale]

ikr why play psyker anymroe they nerfed all my stuff

my voidstrike and assail is gone

[still hearth]

Yeah truly

All that damage lost

Only doing like 180% more than old Voidstrike

[dim parrot]

dumb stat on duelling sword is cleave?

[still hearth]

Yes

It won't cleave no matter what you do to it

[whole oxide]

possibly not after the next update

[dim parrot]

uhm

[still hearth]

It goes from 3 to 4.5?

Which is

The same as it was before poxwalkers got more hitmass

[dim parrot]

mobility is very important on it right?

[south rapids]

Is this a good weapon to buy with req coins?

[still hearth]

Mobility is always something you can dump to some degree

But its still good.

[ionic sorrel]

I would probably swap superiority out

[summer prairie]

I don't know why it says from 3 to 4.5 when the lights currently have 2 cleave

with 4.5 you would (will?) be able to trigger rampage with just lights

[dim parrot]

Im kinda excited 2 use new stuff xD

[still hearth]

Who knows

[tidal elm]

gonna miss infinite dodge...

[south rapids]

I can reply myself to this, base modifier is below 400 so is kinda a waste

[glad meadow]

whmm, this game option for black skin is... so bad

[dim parrot]

cant pretend 2 be neo anymore

[glad meadow]

there is no charcoal-ish color, if you know what i mean

[whole oxide]

not sure if trolling....

[still hearth]

The spread is great though.

I mean definitely at least memeing

[south rapids]

Yeah, but i'm almost 30, could cover some hours but then is trash

[lofty pumice]

Eh, I would definitely want Finesse higher. Also the Perks+Blessings are pretty bleh.

[still hearth]

You can't get 400 base rating.

[whole oxide]

you know 400 is impossible, right?

[lofty pumice]

IMO if you don't have a decent Illisi then that thing is okayish, but you will almost certainly replace it down the line.

[whole oxide]

in terms of base stats, you're going to struggle to get any better than that

and anything that is better will be, like, 1% better

only reason to not take it is if you don't want either of the blessings

[dim parrot]

wait I just now realized, u can put skins from completely different staffs on other staffs? xD

[fresh reef]

I took off one of my toughness nodes to slot in wildfire/combustion, I'm crying rn

[normal radish]

Iirc 380 is the max possible

[lofty pumice]

Incorrect. 380 is.

[whole oxide]

yeees, gooood, more misinformation to the confusion maelstrom

[lofty pumice]

The perfect "god" roll is a 60 in a dump stat, and 80s in all others. That adds up to 380.

[still hearth]

Why Wildfire

[frank moat]

Wait yeah why can you share staff skins if you can’t share staff blessings

[normal radish]

I'm braindead and thought I typed 380

My bad

[fresh reef]

blazing trauma

[still hearth]

But why

[whole oxide]

literally already explained why

[still hearth]

Yeah but I'm not asking you

[whole oxide]

the answer will be the same

[fresh reef]

anime emoji, opinion discarded

[still hearth]

"I like pretty blue flames" is the only good answer

[summer prairie]

but a very good one

[still hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/finger-gun-gif-19273359

[whole oxide]

"i can add 3 stacks from BS on top of 3+ from wildfire to achieve lethal stacks"

[still hearth]

Yeah but Perilus Combustion is bad

I was told

Last night

[glad meadow]

btw is they going to remove the ability to do this?

(go up on the talent tree)

[still hearth]

No

According to one of the wardens at least

[potent echo]

maybe

[fresh reef]

alternatively just let us do that normally for every class
more build variety is cool

[dim parrot]

the blue flames are indeed pretty cool after testing

lets see it in action

[fresh reef]

I'm gonna be sitting in the shop for a couple hours, waiting for another 17% toughness to roll along

I need my 200 toughness

[tender ocean]

i wish psyker abilities had good sound design, the new assail ability sounds like garbage and the smite is a piddly little battery

so powerful yet none of it is communicated with sound

[crisp yacht]

I like the assail sound

Ting ting pting

[frank moat]

I like the sound dome makes when bullets hit it

[whole oxide]

meanwhile, voidstrike breaking peoples eardrums

[frail pewter]

What are takes on the new patch folks. I literally only played BB Purg in the last one.

Not a single Assail knife was thrown

[fresh reef]

rerolled all of my second curio stats to Curio Reward Chance
Emperor bequeath me a 17% toughness curio

[frail pewter]

Is it okay still?

[lyric atlas]

whats some effective builds for psyker?

i feel like im not doiung muych in my games

[whole oxide]

which new patch?

[fresh reef]

It's still good, arguably better

basically slightly worse at horde clear, and the m2 is slightly better at killing elites/specials

[frail pewter]

🤔 huh

[dim parrot]

Im happy that they make Illisi stronger

[deft osprey]

Should I focus on toughness or health as a psyker? Currently I have 94 toughness and 265 health and +1 wound, is that enough for damnation?

[frail pewter]

Yay I have a decent Illisi

[fresh reef]

Warp Absorption nerf, yippee

[frail pewter]

Toughness is better so you don't insta die to shooters? At least that's how I play

You can't hold Deflector forever

[dim parrot]

when will update drop again? do we know?

[frail pewter]

No

[fresh reef]

nothing announced yet

[brave fiber]

That’s why taking gunner res is so important in curios

[frail pewter]

In the next 3 weeks would be my bet

[dim parrot]

aight thanks

[fresh reef]

probably next week

[brave fiber]

I’d say 2 health curios then Whatever you want for the third is the best

[dim parrot]

2 health curios?

[frail pewter]

I do run those yeah

[dim parrot]

damn I have 1 health, 1 toughness and 1 stamina

[brave fiber]

That not bad

[frail pewter]

1 wound 1 toughness 1 health for me

[normal radish]

When I asked this question, I mainly got health because Psykers are strong but also made of paper

[frail pewter]

With gun res and more toughness

[brave fiber]

Balanced curios are def not bad

[normal radish]

I wonder if Gunner res applies to just Gunners or shooters as well

[wet belfry]

Gunners

[frail pewter]

Only gunners I think

[wet belfry]

Reapers are counted in that category

[dim parrot]

fits me, balanced things are very good

[frail pewter]

But that's both the las and lmg gunners

[brave fiber]

Some people who play damnnation skip wounds because getting downed is really bad regardless and you don’t ever want to do it

Health is Uber valuable

[still hearth]

Wounds is a Zealot thing

[frail pewter]

I play T5 Auric and I think 1 wound isn't bad

But it's definitely a preference thing

[dim parrot]

100% gonna play zealot as my second ngl

[brave fiber]

Definitely

[dim parrot]

would fit my right in the face playstyle quiet good

[brave fiber]

Realistically it won’t drastically change how your runs go having 1 curio or another

[frail pewter]

It also allows you to kaboom once which is rare and preventable but sometimes it happens

Especially if you like riding high peril

[forest nebula]

is it just me or ? i cant seem to get the Blessed by fate penance

[brave fiber]

Warp nexus gaming

[hybrid glade]

Which F ability do yall use?

Im still using vent with brainburst

[brave fiber]

Shriek or dome for me

[frail pewter]

I like Vent with Soulblaze stuff

It's neat

[brave fiber]

Gaze just seems so difficult to work with

[hybrid glade]

I dont think ive ever seen dome used in the wild

[frail pewter]

Really?

I thought most people run it

[hybrid glade]

I very rarely see it but I stick mostly to damnation aurics

[frail pewter]

I mean me too

[brave fiber]

Can carry auric runs sometimes

With dome

[hybrid glade]

Nice

So its pretty solid t hen?

I just dont trust myself to play psyker without the oh shit button

[whole oxide]

dome is the one i see the most

[lethal lagoon]

I like tanking huge groups of shooters with stupid psyker toughness regen, so 2 toughness, 1 health for me.

[deft osprey]

Well I did ask before, someone said I should at least reach 150 toughness, as psykers get a lot of toughness damage reduction

[lyric atlas]

does anyone respond hre or just talk to themselves?

[hybrid glade]

I did gaze a bit but it feels like its designed for use with a gun

and I use a staff

[lethal lagoon]

There's no right answer, psyker is squishy no matter what, so do what works with your playstyle.

[hybrid glade]

Oh I am not looking for a right answer

I am just looking for others playstyles, maybe I will find something to try

[brave fiber]

That’s what I thought too, it seems like a gun psyker ability

[hybrid glade]

Or a new way to play etc

[frail pewter]

What?

[hybrid glade]

Not a "right" build

[lethal lagoon]

Oh lmao sorry, my discord lagged, I was talking to an old convo.

[normal radish]

Sorta the issue with big servers, sometimes you ask something and it gets swept up/ignored

[hybrid glade]

Its funnier if we dont respond to that question

[frail pewter]

Yep

[lyric atlas]

Whats psykers best build? anyone???

[neon steppe]

Dome is arguably strongest part of psykers kit. An entirely incompetent psyker who uses their dome off cooldown semi intelligently can still make a run easy. Just entirely negates enemy range damage

[hybrid glade]

There isnt really an answer to that

[frail pewter]

Right now Assil Dome I would say

[normal radish]

Strongest really depends on what you wanna do

[frail pewter]

But that might change soon

[lyric atlas]

darn im on brain brust / wave

[lethal lagoon]

Nah, Surge spam with smite on the side is the best for team play. Everyone hates assail psykers

[brave fiber]

BB voidstrike with shriek is really good

[normal radish]

But Psyker in general is built to be able to switch roles in the fly with a good combination of skills and weapons so

[frail pewter]

There's a reason for that.

[whole oxide]

you don't need to play what's ""best""

[hybrid glade]

Surge is great CC.

[lethal lagoon]

Surge is great DPS.

[frail pewter]

But if I'm not playing Psyker, I appreciate Smite users

Or Surge

[brave fiber]

The one thing stopping me from using smite is it’s absurdly high peril cost

[frail pewter]

in some missions, Purg is also really neat

[lethal lagoon]

On those melee only maelstrom maps, I've done more damage than my team combined with surge build.

[frail pewter]

is this a joke?

[lethal lagoon]

Even without the bug smite is pretty cheap

Plus you can't blow up

[whole oxide]

i wouldn't say its cheap without the bug, but, it's fine, generating peril can be a benefit

[hybrid glade]

Those melee only maelstrom maps are so fun. My friends thought I was just making shit up when I was telling htem how many elites and specials they pile up in every single hallway

[brave fiber]

Eh, it feels like it builds up really fast sometimes for what it actually does

[cold oasis]

Unless you use the EP bug, it does cost quite a lot

Mostly without it you gotta use it like old Surge Staff and spam right click

[brave fiber]

It would be cool if you didn’t get movement speed reduction from casting bb or smite, that might be too powerful tho

[summer prairie]

the next patch will "reduce" the speed reduction from charging bb

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, I almost wish there was a melee type mission board or something, sucks that I almost never catch any.

[small whale]

theyre insanely hard right now

or my pubs suck a lot recently

[near wyvern]

I believe it when I see it

[fresh reef]

make it so mind in motion also gives you that as a buff, because as is I avoid it like the plague

[near wyvern]

Mind in motion should be nuked and replaced with something else

Just let it be the base line

[lethal lagoon]

Average pub post patch seems to have no idea what mission they are queueing for. I literally had a fresh 30 pub(I have true level on) tell me "this isn't an auric malestrom" when I asked him why he queued for this...

[near wyvern]

You don't have to crawl when you reload

[lethal lagoon]

Assail psyker forced so many people into t5 who don't belong, it's rough atm.

[normal radish]

No idea in general, I saw a level 25 with an accatran continuously shoot at poxbursters when they're up close

[lethal lagoon]

t5 pubs might even be harder than auric t5s

[small whale]

I had below lvl 30s in my malestroms like what

[lethal lagoon]

It's like how hersey pubs used to be harder than damnation pubs, just another step up

[brave fiber]

The power creep for all the classes is crazy, psyker def the worst

[strong gulch]

T4 is somehow still worse.

[small whale]

The tank classes also get up to where they dont belong but I don't mind having bodyshield sometimes

[lethal lagoon]

At least tank classes can be completely negated by not being able to deal with dogs or trappers

Which is normal for a leveling player

Anyway, gimme my t6 fatshark

[small whale]

Yeah but if team sticks together those new players are can usually be saved, I think veterans just suffer the most because they're squishy and dont do damage like psykers

[lethal lagoon]

Nah, veterans are still top DPS, you just have to actually be good at shooters now.

Instead of using veteran to live your "good at FPSes" fantasy

[frail pewter]

when you see a psyker running headlong into the fray holding Assail on Maelstrom you know you are on babysitting duty

[lyric atlas]

rofl

[small whale]

Ehh they deal with specials and elites ok but they usually get out damaged by other classes

[lyric atlas]

frontline psyker!

[brave fiber]

Fr dude

[lethal lagoon]

So many lv 30 psykers who'll never learn how to play because they leveled with assail, probably will become ogryns or zealots when they hit a wall.

or quit

[frail pewter]

honestly though I hope they don't quit. more people = more fun eventually. playerbase needs to be sizable for a community to thrive

we are in the inbetween period rn

just need to brave it out

[analog marsh]

This is gonna sound wierd but does anyone know which home world and childhood you need to choose for some of these voicelines on the psyker?
I always win hide and seek
Death is coming for you
3,2,1 found you
I can see you
You can't hide from me
You can't hide, you cant

[lethal lagoon]

Agreed, which is why I'm pretty annoyed they released the old patch to get it out instead of a more recent one that was playtested.

[still hearth]

It's the Loner I'm pretty sure

[frail pewter]

not so hot take, they didn't want to but they didn't have time to make the same for Xbox, so they have to roll with the older one

[brave fiber]

Wait those choices actually affect voice lines

[still hearth]

Nah

[lethal folio]

They don;t

that's seer

[small whale]

no its the crazy guy who says that

[still hearth]

Only the voice

[frail pewter]

you don't have to be Cadian to say Cadia lines?

[small whale]

the my beloved guy

[frail pewter]

I though you have to be from Cadia

[lethal folio]

You are required to pick cadia to choose that voice

[lone cosmos]

French accent female Psyker a best

[lethal folio]

that's the only interaction, aswell as cadia unlocking glowy eyes.

[frail pewter]

what eyes? heavy mask breathing

[lone cosmos]

Purple colored

[frail pewter]

sounds like warp taint, disgusting

[lone cosmos]

That's how Cadia goes

[lethal lagoon]

Purple, they seem more pink.

[lone cosmos]

you don't stand on the brink of the abyss for that long without some of it getting in

The planet still broke before the guard did

[frail pewter]

it's supposed to be purple due to warp exposure

[lethal folio]

It is warp taint

[frail pewter]

CADIA STANDS ||NO CHANCE AGAINST CHAOS||

[lone cosmos]

Very rude

Think of what Creed would say

[frail pewter]

Though given the amount of information the rejects know, it is truly a wonder why they haven't been executed yet

They know about the Cicatrix Maledictum (I hope I spelt it right) and even the Grey Knights

[lethal folio]

Inquistorial + Rogue Trader business.

[lone cosmos]

They get a pass as long as they're useful

[frail pewter]

Well they are. 4 dudes vs literal thousands.

Hello my fellow Psyker lovers.
I am working towards completing every Psyker penances, and I am only missing the one called "Warp Battery" where I have to keep maximum warp stacks for 300 sec / 5 min.
Do you have any tips for me?

[whole oxide]

play a high-intensity shock gauntlet modifier, take BR

[ebon jolt]

Don’t use your ability and you should be okay.

[ebon jolt]

I’m pretty sure you need warp siphon for this.

[whole oxide]

oh, lol, yeah

[glad meadow]

you don't need max of 6

max of 3 counts

[fresh reef]

it caps at 4

[glad meadow]

oh yeah, whatever the cap is without taking that last talent

[pastel mantle]

Very well. Thank you very much for the assistance.
You have a good one!

is psyker still a bit underpowered? I feel like other classes are just blasting specials from across the screen jsut as fast if not faster as my brain burst

and zealots EERY&ONES INVULENRABLE seems a bit better than shield lol

[neon steppe]

Psyker is most overpowered class currently

[teal needle]

Psyker is comically op at this moment

[lyric atlas]

And with shield u cant vent ur peril

[eternal junco]

psyker underpowered
BB

[lyric atlas]

what build? what role on the team?

[eternal junco]

holding r with a staff:

[teal needle]

Even bb is decent

[eternal junco]

literally any staff or assail or dueling sword or revolver or laspistol

[lyric atlas]

is brain burst not good?

I tried the lhgtning but it seems less impactful than just the surge or purg staff

[eternal junco]

assail is the best option currently

And lightning isn't for damage it's for stun

[lyric atlas]

i heard thats only true at low levels?

[teal needle]

Assail empower is stupid good right now, i run trauma / bb / shield wall for absurd safety

[eternal junco]

no lma

[neon steppe]

Void strike to kill everything. Purg with bubbles to defend everyone. Assail to annoy teammates by making it so they can’t play the game. Abuse smite but for perms crowd control. Those are options

[eternal junco]

Assail is comically overpowered

[lyric atlas]

right but feels like the the staves do a better job of stunning/staggering?

[teal needle]

Voidstrike staff one shots crushers right now

[eternal junco]

what

[lyric atlas]

when i use the bio lightning it hit sliek 3 dudes

when i use purg staff the entire screen burns

[eternal junco]

the staffs are your killing weapons

[neon steppe]

Not if you hold right click, it’s everything in cone in front of you

[raven scarab]

psyker is stupid good, assail is op

[lyric atlas]

just spaming it into hoards? or killing specialS?

[raven scarab]

everything

[lyric atlas]

out damagers BB on monstrocities?

[eternal junco]

hell even forgoing all the op staffs and assail you can legit just run dueling sword and revolver and be borderline better veteran

[teal needle]

Only thing assail doesn't do is carapace & boss

[eternal junco]

even against carapace assail isn't completely useless

[lyric atlas]

hmm i guess i should just use assail then, brain burst so fun tyho

[eternal junco]

but still just take dueling sword it covers all your weaknesses

[lyric atlas]

just spaming attack when hoards get close?

[eternal junco]

spamming special on heavy targets

[raven scarab]

it's good for even long range

[lyric atlas]

ah

[teal needle]

It's adequate for long range, it's slow but it works

[lyric atlas]

i wasnt using the jab

[eternal junco]

Light spam dueling is good for cleaving crowds

[lyric atlas]

ya was doing that when i didnt have enough time to purg staff

[ornate hamlet]

Is it just my delusion or does Disrupt Destiny, like so many Psyker perks, not really do the marvelous things it claims? It only ever seems to mark elites and specials, never horde enemies.

[teal needle]

Yeah disrupt destiny is a pita, feels like keeping it up is often out of your control

Kind of ironic given the name

[ornate hamlet]

A shame. Warp charges just seems all around superior to everything else. Reliable 24% damage and 36% damage reduction at all times.

I only hate that I lose all stacks when using the ultimate skill.

[teal needle]

Warp charges are good for the universal damage buff, empower is quite good for assail spam and smite bug reasons

[arctic harbor]

Whats soulblaze? i keep seeing is has procs/passives, but i cant find the tooltip explaining what soul blaze is

[soft notch]

does anyone have a support smite build they can share?

[arctic harbor]

new to the game, please dont roast me if its something easily explainable XD

[teal needle]

A dot that is close to useless until it gets like 6+ stand

[steel flame]

It's the blue fire

[soft notch]

perilous combustion wildfire and the one from shriek

[steel flame]

From purgatos staff

[arctic harbor]

ok its a dot nicer

good against bosses im guessing

[steel flame]

Not really

[arctic harbor]

im runing assali/tempestshield/(idk what my purple should be)

im considered empowered

[steel flame]

Damage increases exponentially based on stacks though so it can melt hordes in seconds

[royal falcon]

I think the info about soulblaze is in the guide in this channel's pins

[dim parrot]

right? xD

wait a minute, u can't????

[teal needle]

Assail and empower pair very well if you want to lean into assail. Otherwise warp charges are good for a universal damage buff

[arctic harbor]

nice !

you get all 4 passive nodes from empower as well?

pyschic leeching seems meh to me, but maybe its good?

the other 3 look good tho

[dim parrot]

I have riposte and shred as a blessing for dueling sword, is that good?

[main tulip]

They 'nerfed' assail, but its practically unnoticable past just having to use an extra projectile on some enemies.

[ornate hamlet]

Empower is just never up. Even watching videos from people who say it's so OP; you never see them have psionic stacks up.

I have yet to be convinced that empowered psionics is more than a placebo/novelty.

[main tulip]

destroys hordes just as well as it did before, the primary attack is a bit worse at taking on mid tier enemies, but then you can just use the buffed 2nd tier to destroy them

[ebon jolt]

I think all classes are good right now. Ogryn is pretty hilarious to play at the moment. Vet is the only one I think needs a bit of help but it still has some great builds.

[main tulip]

ran it for 3 missions, noticed absolutely 0 difference between having it and not having it,

[teal needle]

The smart way to nerf assail would be availability. If they keep trying to reduce damage to fix they're going to need to nerf it to like 100

[main tulip]

assail spam is whats the most op, increase the peril gain to 15% per projectile so you cant just shoot all of them at once without any recovery time.

It would make it still powerful, but less so.

[ornate hamlet]

Indeed. If it was guaranteed for Elites AND Special kills; maybe. Otherwise 7.5% never seems to proc even when moving down horde mobs.

[ornate hamlet]

I agree. Anything other than just a boring damage nerf. Be it slower cooldown, less charges or what you proposed. I would have even said; half the charges to 5 and give it a damage buff instead.

[teal needle]

Empower isn't proccing off everything it should for elites but you get stacks constantly
