psyker-class

[austere steeple]

i like assail

okay ill try a gun

[white egret]

Assail is stupid OP atm

it’s fun though I hear

I do hope it gets nerfed tho

[steel flame]

Psyker is a bit weird in that he only starts getting super busted at about 25

[strong gulch]

You can get a surge staff from brunt. That will suit you fine and save your more limited currency.

[spice veldt]

perilous combustion being accessible from lvl 2 😎

[austere steeple]

should i make a purgatus force staff?

[white egret]

what do you all recommend I change on this?

[lyric burrow]

Id just change perks

Crit chance/unyielding/maniac

[white egret]

uncanny strike is good? Wasn't sure

[lyric burrow]

Its bis

[sour bison]

Idk, having fun on my vet rn

[white egret]

?

[lyric burrow]

Best in slot

[white egret]

oh ok

[lyric burrow]

Precog is good too

[austere steeple]

@white egret what gun should i get from brunts?

[lyric burrow]

Fair warning finesse is a little low

[austere steeple]

the recon lasgun?

[white egret]

not sure tbh. I don't really play gunpsyker

[white egret]

I figured but this isn't for like auric maelstrom

[austere steeple]

purgatus?

[strong gulch]

Grab any staff to get a feel for them. Note that they all excel at different things. Purg is hoard clear and considered more chill and easier to use than the others.

Everything might feel worse compared to assail esp while leveling.

Also note that some staves, like trauma, feel SO bad until it is high level rolled well.

[austere steeple]

or void stike

[white egret]

I've not even done difficulty 5 yet

[white egret]

I know voidstrike staffs are real good. Purgatus might be too but unsure

[austere steeple]

👍🏼 noted thank you

[austere steeple]

i saw there nerfing voidstrike so im gonna try purgatus

[white egret]

keep in mind that assail is getting nerfed soon

not sure if enough tho

ok

how bad is voidstrike nerfs looking?

[austere steeple]

yeah its like a 20% damage nerf

[strong gulch]

use what u got while lvling

[shy prairie]

hmm

[austere steeple]

i dont remember it being big

[shy prairie]

dueling sword

[austere steeple]

i know assail is getting a buff in the single targeting mode

[shy prairie]

mkiv or mkii

[austere steeple]

but a nerf to the spams

[white egret]

the spam definitely needs nerfing

[austere steeple]

oh yeah

[austere steeple]

blaze force or duelling sword?

[supple canyon]

Is the lightning go brrrr playstyle valid if i target big bois to stun before they reach my friends

[white egret]

I'm no expert but from what I understand I think they're both pretty good

[austere steeple]

bet blaze it is

[white egret]

TBH I only got back into the game recently

[supple canyon]

I started playing 4 days ago and my psyker is level 29 and im working on getting endgame gear i think my build is solid

[austere steeple]

should i just only play on malice till im like level 20

yeah nvm

[white egret]

if you're new, probably

I wouldn't go to difficulty 4 til lvl 25 or with a good squad of friends in voice personally

[austere steeple]

my randos been pissing me off ive been clutvhing like crazy

[austere steeple]

yeah exactly

[supple canyon]

Ive gotten dodging down at this point just need to get better at swapping to melee and shoving when necessary

[austere steeple]

alrighty much appreciated yall im gonna get back into the gaming

[supple canyon]

I wanna game but im on a car ride rn was visiting family

[austere steeple]

i feel like id like ogryn no cap

[royal falcon]

watching the heresy randos I'm with trigger daemonhost for the ntheenth time

[shy prairie]

i want to use rampage on the dueling sword

i cannot resist that sweet sweet power

[austere steeple]

does he just focus on melee and toughness

[austere steeple]

broooo dont even start xDDDDD

they agro it and it targets me

0__0

[steel flame]

At this point it doesn't even phase me anymore. As long as I'm not the second target it's not a problem

[supple canyon]

Psyker ogryn duo is best duo

[royal falcon]

plot twist: you were the second target

[ripe violet]

What blessings should i have on a Surge Staff?

[potent echo]

Nexus / Flurry

Maybe surge if you are feeling spicy

[strong gulch]

tbh

pffft what did I type??

meant "this to be honest"

[strong gulch]

Surge staff can't get surge blessing.

[potent echo]

Well that's kind of sad

[strong gulch]

yee

[inland whale]

witch staph?

[jolly cedar]

Uncanny strike any good for dueling swords?

[frigid rune]

its really gud

[spice veldt]

ye, it's the best blessing for them currently

[inland whale]

How is rending defined in damage terms

[spice veldt]

+Rending% contributes an additive effect to your armour damage modifiers.
If your attack deals 20% damage to Carapace, then +50% rending means that your attack now deals 70% damage to carapace.

If your attack deals 100% or more damage to an armour type, then every 1% of rending contributes to your armour damage modifiers at a reduced effectiveness of 1/4ths. So, if your attack deals 100% and you had +100% rending, you would deal 125% damage instead.

The caveat to all of this is that rending% does not affect the Unarmoured or Infested armour types. (On the other hand, it affects the 4 other armour types)

[inland whale]

ooo

[jolly cedar]

Wait so is the rending a buff to me?

i thought rending was like a debuff to enemies

that decreases their armor?

[inland whale]

very interesting ty

[spice veldt]

Uncanny Strike gives stacks that grant +rending% to your attacks

[jolly cedar]

thats cracked man

so i can stab up one crusher

and then on the next crusher i fight

i mantain that damage bonus

damn

[spice veldt]

blessings like Rending Shockwave/Shattering Impact/Can Opener/etc. inflict stacks of Brittleness onto enemies which grant +rending% to incoming attacks

[jolly cedar]

ooohhh

so rending is a buff

to me

[spice veldt]

ye

[jolly cedar]

thats really good yeah

way better

than i thought it was

[spice veldt]

so there is a rather busted interaction with rending% currently

[jolly cedar]

i thought it just debuffed one enemy

[austere steeple]

i need to see someones talent tree for assail

[jolly cedar]

which is pretty shit

what blessing and perk would u pair with uncanny strike for dueling swords?

[austere steeple]

i gotta shoot like 5 shards to kill a shotgun scab

no beuno

[inland whale]

this is mine but i focus on cooldowns, and peril quelling for spam not single target damage, I use a void strike staff with surge for single target damage

[austere steeple]

so the bottom of the tree is where i get all the damage

[jolly cedar]

the capstone yeah

the empowered blitz

[inland whale]

i mean it helps

these 2 are probably the only ones for damage per se

[austere steeple]

i have everything you do but i built kinetic presence

[inland whale]

and last one ofc

[austere steeple]

yeah i need that

[inland whale]

you can only hold up to like 4 stacks so its not an overall damage boost

[spice veldt]

you can do some real fucked up shit with assail https://streamable.com/zjpqc5

let the world know that assail can hit weakspots and crit

[inland whale]

ive seen that same clip so many time man

its rare but yeah aiming for weakspots is helpful

[spice veldt]

this is the fun interaction that I was talking about with rending% btw https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1yMHLPVTGKuVoq/d1337Qb7VBFa?invite=cr-MSxQODYsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

since uncanny strike also affects soulblaze

[austere steeple]

malefic momentum hmmmmmm

[spice veldt]

assail is fairly unimpressive in the single-target department, but it can hit 3 targets (with ethereal shards) so

[austere steeple]

i saw a guy building crit assail

ima try that build out

but i gotta level up first 😦

[solar sand]

finally got flurry

[robust sierra]

hey psykers, gonna bother you guys about builds for a bit; so from what I hear assail and brain burst is the best, correct?

[solar sand]

yes and no

all are viable

[robust sierra]

I see

[solar sand]

smite is most busted by far

[robust sierra]

oh I thought smite was shit

[solar sand]

assail is amazing on 4 or lower

and brain burster is ok using it on its own, but its better as a background skill while you use the staffs which are busted

only blitz that passively benefits you

so smite does nearly no damage, but it stuns everything but bosses, forever

which is a bug

BUT you can build it to be nearly infinite without the bug

i use it in auric 5 maelstrom and it makes it ez

especially melee modifier

[strong gulch]

Alright. I finally took purg on damnation post patch 13 and I do not like it. Trash mobs srtaight up ran through the fire and stabbed me. Yes you have to stagger them so they don't get you, but this fell like they just ignored the flame stagger from secondary fire. Primary feels weaker too.

Still great horde clear and still feels alright on T4, but I don't think it feels good on T5.

[solar sand]

also this thing is just so busted

[shy prairie]

the ball spaminator

[native gyro]

The "Lets go Bowling" staff

[strong gulch]

If you take the smite +1, it gives you another arc of shocks on surge staff.

[cold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/gta-atfuraxx-gif-5031603

[solar sand]

shame the secondary target damage scaling is so bad

[north pike]

Crit blaster... But should I keep the unyielding or swap to... ?

[strong gulch]

I mean it's single target that lets you stun 1 to 2 extra enemies if you take the smite +1. Don't even have to 2 full charges.

But if we compare anything to VS damage, it will be smaller pp damage.

[jolly cedar]

very op yes

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1ySZUDbU_fPRcN/d1337GddcnLk?invite=cr-MSx1WGMsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

perilous combustion is fine btw

[lunar hollow]

the fog machine

[jolly cedar]

what dueling sword is that?

[viral solstice]

4

[desert snow]

What mindset do I need to be in to use smite and hold RMB+LMB and believe that I'm the MVP of every mission I play?
I need the massive dopamine release these players are receiving.

[viral solstice]

ur the star

ur the hero

ur the SMITEMASTA

u can do it

ur important and loved

[desert snow]

Sorry I mean't right-bumper + left-bumper

[solar sand]

idk about you but

after a maelstrom, my fingies start to hurt

[desert snow]

how do i upvote this comment?

[olive ember]

Very balanced

Stop nerfing Psyker smh

[austere steeple]

jesus

[olive ember]

Tho tbh that’s more of voidstrike being broke as shit than perilous imo

[austere steeple]

just hit level 20

but yeah fuck surge staff after seeing that xD

[olive ember]

Surge staff is undertuned rn

And it will be even more so when patch drops

[austere steeple]

bet

[olive ember]

Since enemy health values are getting buffed

Though some people love it so

You’ll hear some people go on about how amazing it is

[austere steeple]

it does alright boss damage i want more tho

i gotta put on damage numbers so i can see how much im doing

[olive ember]

If you want boss damage run voidstrike or gun psyker

Surge staff boss damage is like

3rd or 4th place

Vraks 3/7 I forgot which one is top boss damage followed by voidstrike and then BB or dueling sword and then maybe surge

[austere steeple]

how do i see my damage like the video showed?

[olive ember]

Mods

[austere steeple]

ah

[ripe yacht]

How do y'all grind out blessings?

[olive ember]

Though I personally don’t use em so I can’t help you there

[olive ember]

Roll brunt’s armory for 360+ stat weapons

[ripe yacht]

Do you go all the way up to legendary, or just stop at blue and keep rerolling?

[olive ember]

Roll at hadrons

Uh personally I roll to gold

[ripe yacht]

That's what I have been doing but it's real expensive.

[olive ember]

No one rly knows the rates so it’s hard to tell if rolling to blue is actually more efficient or if you are just gimping your chances

[ripe yacht]

Hmm.

[north pike]

I roll to gold and try to maximise the weapons ratings, my personal experience has me feeling like I got more t4 perks that way

[ripe yacht]

Just need Surge 😦

[spice veldt]

both; do you not see the soulblaze ticks dealing 534 damage

[olive ember]

Yeah but that’s only because voidstrike enables him to delete elites like 4 at a time

[steel flame]

Clearly you haven't used fire trauma

[olive ember]

Shush

[steel flame]

I'm seeing 31 stacks constantly

It's disgusting

[olive ember]

I like my fire stop nerfing it madge

I don’t want to be next to the surge staff users in effectiveness

[steel flame]

900k from fire is a tad much and most of that is perilous

[spice veldt]

true the 534 damage soulblaze ticks didn't contribute as much mhm

[analog agate]

I was expecting to see you yesterday when there was that guy saying it was the best staff and trauma is horrible

[thorn cedar]

the best staff is gun

[olive ember]

I probably gave up

Every few days a group of people try to gaslight me into believing surge staff is good

[steel flame]

GIVE ME NAMES. THERE MUST BE BLOOD ATONEMENT FOR THAT SIN AGAINST TRAUMA

[analog agate]

My bae got its name besmirched. It was a sad time. But it was a shit conversation so I didn’t really partake

[olive ember]

Quite simply it’s voidstrike > trauma > purge > surge

I like purge tho still pretty stronk

Nothing like one charge to delete everything in a direction besides ogryns and mutants

[strong gulch]

Oh look. Another 14%. I won't levle it THIS time.

[jolly cedar]

Is defences essential to a dueling sword?

[olive ember]

That’s the dump stat for mk 5

So no

[strong gulch]

Mobility and Defenses have some overlap. So you're good.

Like, I'd rather have those stats with the increased penetration than these stats on mine even though it's "perfect".

[severe folio]

whats the difference between the autogun and the lasgun, in term of practicality

i.e, whats the difference between laser and bullets

[obtuse moth]

one has a flashlight and one has a push attack

and lasguns on vet can consume no ammo if you crit

[olive ember]

Certain autoguns are meta

Lasguns not so much iirc

Tho still good

[past brook]

I just tried a scrier's gaze mk4 dueling sword + revolver build, as my very first psyker game since patch 13 launched weeks ago
by the Emperor it's like I'm a rattlesnake on crack, no wonder psykers go power hungry lol

[primal aurora]

Huh, available in shop now

[dense bramble]

its always worth buying for blessings. Pretty sure it transfers to other headhunters

[shy prairie]

rampage is only proccable by push attack.. but it continues through lights after procced

[neat summit]

This is the way.

It’s easy to pick out maulers in auric if there’s no mob with them 😂

[valid talon]

Why do so many people use the mk4 dueling sword?

[cloud sequoia]

poke

[valid talon]

Is it that good? I guess it does do a lot of single target

[spice veldt]

cuz fatshark buffed their heavies to be cracked

here's a comparison of the mk4 heavies to the deimos h2

it's some real good shit https://streamable.com/77q3s6

[valid talon]

Level 995 what the fuck

Im still using the power sword because im an ogryn brain who cant do anything but light attack hordes

[worn cypress]

stabby tho

stab stab

[valid talon]

Anyways, is there any reason to pick up the brain burst skill instead of smite for a voidstrike build?

From what I can tell the skill alone doesn't really do anything, and I have never ever found casting it manually to be a decent idea

[neat summit]

I like BB with purg. Otherwise you use assail with voidstrike to proc the auto crit talent

[valid talon]

Meanwhile smite can stun a group in a pinch

I'm trying to move away from assail due to its incoming nerf, and honestly I find it a bit boring to play

[neat summit]

K then go smite

[worn cypress]

I’m having a lot of fun running void smite

[stable silo]

i wish i could take my other classes weeklies and do them on my psyker i hate swapping to veteran to do it i feel like why am i doing this when i could be poppin off

[worn cypress]

BB is a little redundant since you can long range shoot at stuff with void

[neat summit]

This

[valid talon]

Pretty much this

I dont get why the skill exists

It can't even one shot specials on damnation

[viscid matrix]

its better for when you use Purga, Trauma or Surge staff

[valid talon]

Im not even level 30 and I can see it sucks

[neat summit]

For the times you take purg or surge or whatever

[worn cypress]

its good synergy with something like purg

[valid talon]

I mean maybe if kinetic flayer was better

[stable silo]

back in my day you needed 3 brain bursts to kill a doggo on damnation you lads eat good

[viscid matrix]

yall are comparing a overtuned mess that is Void staff, to a blitz that can 1tap most enemies

[valid talon]

Like no 15s cooldown or something

[worn cypress]

they’re balancing it with dmg scaling on specialists so hopefully we can hit the damn breakpoints again somewhat

[valid talon]

I don't think void staff is overtuned, definately assail though

[primal aurora]

Also BB is getting buffed. I wonder if rmb charge is going to be usable then

[viscid matrix]

it 1 tap dogs, it 1tap all the specialists except Muties, it 2 taps reapers and bulwharks, 3 tap crusher and 2 tap mauler

with no buffs active

[worn cypress]

lol void is overtuned as hell

[valid talon]

Is it getting nerfed? I mean relative to other staffs and weapons its strong yeah

[viscid matrix]

its absurdly strong, it 1 taps all enemies with a single crit
except monstrocities

[valid talon]

Well whats the crit chance?

[viscid matrix]

guarenteed with 5 weakpoint hits, which is easy

[stable silo]

im tired of aiming slighty nerf it to hell and il go back to purge

[valid talon]

I know it can be pretty high with the right stuff

[worn cypress]

it was literally a hmm nobody uses this staff lets just double its damage output buff from previous

its way too strong lol

[viscid matrix]

a single shot from void will get you 5 weakpoint hits if you are good, then the next one you throw out will crit and double hit everything for the 1tap

[valid talon]

How do you get multiple weakspot hits with the voidstaff?

I thought the projectile explodes on hit

[viscid matrix]

headshots thru multiple enemeis at the same time

[spice veldt]

the projectile has 12 cleave (patch notes say 10 but that's a lie)

[worn cypress]

ball big

[viscid matrix]

it doesnt stop on first enemy, it goes thru at least 10 enemeis

[valid talon]

Ah I didnt know it cleaves, since it seems to explode on contact with even sqishies

[viscid matrix]

it ignores armour too, so doesnt matter what you shoot at, you will always hit max damage

[valid talon]

I know the armor part, I thought that was just part of its role in a kit

Psyker being the glass cannon of the classes

[viscid matrix]

look at this damage, and think about a crit headshot that hits twice due to Surge blessing
and its easy to guarentee it

[primal aurora]

Void staff is just too good at everything, it doesn't have weak sides. Good vs hordes, good vs armor, good at staggering, good vs snipers, easy to use, etc. Only thing it is mediocre is vs bosses.

[worn cypress]

voidstrike is perfectly balanced after you consider my terrible aim

[valid talon]

Its probably too good vs hordes, you can fire it into a crowd and watch it vaporize

Especially given the other staffs are more horde oriented

Voidstrike should be the anti armor one

[viscid matrix]

a single crit headshot does 3200 damage with 0 buffs active, that can go higher
its an absurd amount of damage, nothing comes close

[valid talon]

Thunder hammer stealth zealot: Am I a joke to you

Nah IK, thats an entire build dedicated to the meme

Meanwhile the voidstrike just does that

[viscid matrix]

thats another class, we talking about psyker here

[worn cypress]

yea but you cant yeet a crusher from 2 miles away with th

I do enjoy a good hammer bonk tho

[viscid matrix]

ohh and thatt stagger damage for void, it knocks everything on its ass if you dont 1tap it, so the enemies die before they get back up anyway

[valid talon]

So is the meta for voidstrike to go down the assail tree for crit chance?

[primal aurora]

Yes, I don't like that Void is much better vs hordes than Trauma. Void staggers enemies back, keeping them tight packed while Trauma spreads enemies, making them harder to finish with follow up blasts or even turning leftover enemies into annoying flankers.

[worn cypress]

meta for all psyker wep is crit chance

[viscid matrix]

you go crit chance on every build

i sometimes dont take crit aura, but i take crit chance and crit nodes everywhere else

[valid talon]

I know as a zealot main I sure do lmao

[worn cypress]

I think trauma is better at saving your own ass still, but yeah lol it does too many things rn

[valid talon]

I've been playing psyker and vet recently and I feel bad for the vet

[worn cypress]

how did ass autocorrect to staff lmao

[viscid matrix]

Vet were the strongest for a year, they just didnt get massive buffs like everyone else

[valid talon]

I feel like psyker does everything almost as good or straight better

I heard they used to be the strongest and psyker the weakest

[viscid matrix]

before the patch it was the opposite, anything psyker could do every other class could do better

[primal aurora]

Vet still has unique psychic powers to detect enemy elites and telepathically highlight them for the team.

[viscid matrix]

i still think that should be a psyker power 😄

[lapis bay]

how do I do a salvo with this thing?

[primal aurora]

Yeah, I was disappointed that Gaze doesn't do anything besides damage numbers boost. No utility (except for movement speed perk), no cool visuals.

[primal aurora]

Primary fire in quick sequence counts as salvo. Fire-fire-fire-pause-fire-fire-fire with have your second and third shot stronger. In my opinion almost useless.

[valid talon]

Is scriers gaze any good? I tried it before but it felt really hard to manage

[worn cypress]

its fun in gunker builds

[valid talon]

What do you guys think of this build? It doesnt have soulstealer or quietude which I feel are really good

But that middle part gives up to 20% damage based on peril, so i'd say average about 10-15%

[spice veldt]

Warp Rider gives 10%-20% damage based on peril, scaling continuous and linearly

[valid talon]

Oh so thats prob an average of say 15% boost

I really like the shields perks for team utility so if anythings gotta go i'd say its the 2 for that perk for soulstealer and quietude

[copper torrent]

Why crit over ult cdr then?

[valid talon]

Thats -10% health and warp rider

[valid talon]

Whats ult cdr? You mean why take the right keystone path instead of left?

[copper torrent]

Seer's presence. The middle node. Instead of prescience. What is the crit for?

[valid talon]

I can do either, but the +4 crit feels good for both personal use and team synergy

The crit is for the voidstrike staff

And since a lot in that tree procs on crit

[copper torrent]

Ah. That makes sense then.

[valid talon]

Besides, I don't think most people are using abilities back to back so 10% cdr isnt that useful

Meanwhile 4% crit is always useful, especially to teammates using crit builds

You can argue its kinda small, but idk

Its an easy switch between the two nodes

[thorn cedar]

I put 4% crit slightly above Vet's 3% damage for auras

It's not bad but nobody is building to utilize/compensate for it

And by itself at a bare minimum baseline you're looking at 5% base crit being brought up to 9%

Which is ... mostly inconsequential

[valid talon]

Idono, I feel like theres a lot of crit builds out there

[copper torrent]

'Cept surge and recon fishers.

[valid talon]

I know a popular zealot build relies on it, and so does recon lasgun veteran

[thorn cedar]

yea but again that's just happy coincidence

like i know of three weapons where vet's 3% damage aura gets me a meaningful breakpoint

[whole oxide]

main reason it's redundant is that psykinetics aura also exists

[thorn cedar]

i still dont ever build under the presumption that i will have a vet providing it

because that's just not realistic an expectation

(and not just because it's bad)

so nobody is speccing their build to make room for a psyker with 4% crit other than that psyker themselves

which is fine, btw

it's just not particularly great

[valid talon]

Is psykentics aura good? I know a lot of elites die on damnation but...5% cooldown?

[thorn cedar]

i definitely put 10% cdr much higher than 4% crit

and yes it is very good

idk what damnation looks like

[whole oxide]

you'll easily kill 10 elites in a short period on damnation

[thorn cedar]

aurics regularly has rooms of 10+ shotgunners/gunners etc.

[whole oxide]

thats 50% cdr

[thorn cedar]

same thing btw with the +damage to elites/specials aura

it's actually quite good

but nobody is going to be building for it, except for you

so that can either make its contribution significant by happenstance

or completely meaningless

[potent echo]

It's super good

[valid talon]

Updated based on feedback. Dropped mettle for soulstealer and got psykinetics aura instead of mind in motion.

[past brook]

what to look for with an illisi force sword? perks/blessings?

[potent echo]

Blessings can be slaughterer, I'm not sure if illisi can run uncanny

[past brook]

it can, I'm sitting on one with uncanny

[primal plume]

Psyker gaming

[potent echo]

Gaming

[formal glade]

Potentially dumb question but how do you get the mobs spawned on with creature spawner to attack?

[potent echo]

Deflector is a pick as well, so is unstable power

[past brook]

turn off invisibility in the creature spawner mod settings

[formal glade]

Thank you so much!

[viscid matrix]

Best bet, grab both first 2 nodes on the outside of tree, skip the toughness gain with generate and quell preril, quell on kill might be nice to have but the other 2 nodes are better

Tbh i prefer elite/special damage over crit aura, cause the tree peril to toughness damage reduction node is too good

[past brook]

so deflector/unstable power works? sounds like a plan
perks?

[viscid matrix]

Any of Flak/maniac/carapace/unyielding
Crit chance is nice to have but the other 4 are better

[tough obsidian]

did infinite smite get patched yet?

[viscid matrix]

No

[spice veldt]

I strongly recommend taking this talent

[viscid matrix]

And the crit toughness generation on the right side too

[tough obsidian]

i hope when they do they at least make smite good

[harsh urchin]

10% cdr would be good if the abilities were a bit more impactful

shield is impactful but the cooldown is so low on the baseline that cdr is unnecessary

[harsh urchin]

yar but if ur taking 3% dmg instead of ammo you're actually just straight up making the game harder for no reason

i guess if you think the game is too easy

[glad meadow]

what is the best perk for trinket for psyker?

[past brook]

running 3 of one trinket isn't generally recommended

[glad meadow]

?

3 of one?

[past brook]

ah wait I misread that, nvm

[glad meadow]

no, just give me a list of stuff so i can pick it out

[potent echo]

Perk probably one sniper resist

[past brook]

I think the general purpose one is snipers/gunners/toughness regen, though it can vary depending on who you ask

[potent echo]

Toughness Regen is bottom of the list

It only affects coherency regen

Not anything else

[glad meadow]

but i don't tend to regen toughness, i find there no time for it in auric at least

[past brook]

what for the third one then?

[glad meadow]

does damage resistance stack?

[potent echo]

Revive speed

The best

[glad meadow]

i find 20% not enough

[potent echo]

Yes but only multiplicatively

So it's not very good

[glad meadow]

could you finish that list?

[harsh urchin]

it's still very good lol

just not broken

[glad meadow]

it at least save me from being one shot, but it still very close to one shot

[potent echo]

Sniper resist, revive speed, stam Regen, block efficiency, additional toughness(to reach 165)

[glad meadow]

which one of them are worth stacking?

[potent echo]

Sniper resist probably

[glad meadow]

i suspect rev speed don't stack that high?

[potent echo]

And revive speed

Revive speed stacks

[past brook]

everything stacks

[glad meadow]

worth stacking

[past brook]

makes me wonder if a +5% plasteel perk got added, how many people would run 3x that lol

[potent echo]

I always run 3x revive

[glad meadow]

i only meant "worth stacking" stuff only

[potent echo]

It saves games

[glad meadow]

ok, 3x rev

i always feel so fragil

[primal aurora]

what 3x revive?

[glad meadow]

one back shot while i am not attentive and i die

and most often, its from like random horde enemies

i rarely die to elities and specialist and what not

[potent echo]

If your toughness isn't 165 it might be worth trying to reach that with 3x toughness 5%

[glad meadow]

but random enemies hit me and i am dead

[potent echo]

165 you can tank shotgunner point blank without getting broken

Or ~165 depending on your toughness DR

[glad meadow]

well like i said its mostly random horde

i never die to random horde as other class

and it only random horde that hit me while i am shooting something else from my back

idk if anyone have that problem

[potent echo]

If you don't care about that toughness breakpoint then you don't really need to invest in toughness

[potent echo]

Depends on your weapon loadout

Usually psyker can handle themselves in any situation

Because of the amount of control their loadouts can offer

Mainly trauma

Also purgatus

[glad meadow]

it happen so much that i wonder if there are resist for random horde lol, i die the most to them

[potent echo]

You shouldn't really be meleeing hordes unless you run surge/gun

Even then assail will solve most hordes

[glad meadow]

no, not the entire big horde

its like when i shoot a gunner, right?

a random small zombie hit me in my back

that almost kill me

or when i run to catch up with the team

that kill me the most

[potent echo]

That part you gotta listen for the sound

When a melee attack is about to hit you, you will hear a sharp whoosh sound

[glad meadow]

my sound setup make that hard. when a hound invade, i can't even listen to what direction it is running at me. Kinda hard.

[potent echo]

Doesn't matter which direction

If you hear sound > dodge

Will keep you safe

[glad meadow]

do stamina regen trinket stack multiplicatively?

[potent echo]

Yea

[glad meadow]

12% doesn't seem worth it to stack then

[potent echo]

1.12*1.12 is more than 1.12+1.12

[glad meadow]

yeah but it ain't that high

[potent echo]

Depends, but if you want more second chances I would just go 3x health curios in general

So you have more leeway in-between medicaes

[glad meadow]

what does dmg resist flamer even do?

is it the flame on ground, or only direct hit?

[potent echo]

Resist flamer damage

Both I think, unless

Never tested it

The biggest issue with flames is how they instantly zero your toughness

Damage resist doesn't solve that

[jolly ridge]

I have all four classes to level thirty and since the patch have been able to play damnation with my Zealot and Ogryn easily. I can clutch no problem with several different builds for each.

Since the patch, I have tried numerous builds, looked at guides, checked out the offical Darktide builds. I have nice gear and blessings for both a Voidstrike and Recon Lasgun build. I have very nice Deimos and Illisi swords. I have tried toughness and health curio setups but honestly the Psyker feels like a wet fart.

I do tons of DPS when the team is together and I have negative space around me but the second anything goes wrong, it is over.

Enqueuing on damnation, normally you get like 75% of the team is either veteran or Psyker and the missions are over in 2 minutes with everyone dead.

I am the same player, why can I carry on damnation with the Ogryn and Zealot and die instantly like a helpless bitch with the Psyker?

What could I do to improve? What am I missing?

[potent echo]

Positioning

Psyker benefits from it most out of any class

You also have the least HP/toughness, but it is balanced by having the best toughness Regen out of all classes

[spice veldt]

idk i guess zealot and ogryn have busted DR at the moment

[glad meadow]

nah orgyn is the best i think

[potent echo]

Ogryn has so much health and no real downsides

[spice veldt]

it's hard to give specific advice really

I'd just record your own gameplay, watch over it during some free time, and think about stuff that could go better

[potent echo]

Ironically gameplay advice is usually more helpful than meta build advice

I would watch some amazing darktide players like maybe jsat or telopots and learn from there

[spice veldt]

maybe you're playing psyker like zealot/ogryn and dying from a lack of a playstyle adaptation?

[potent echo]

Some specific things to look out for (as psykers general play backline) is to avoid stealing other team members' jobs, like if they have a doorway locked down you should focus on stragglers/specials coming from behind

[jolly ridge]

That is why I am asking here, I am a life long gamer and I have no idea what to do.

Initally yes, I was playing to agressively. So I have been trying to run awa...ermm... tactically reposition as needed as I have a bit of space. However every game on Psyker just goes exactly the same. Enqueue into damnation, teamed with 4 little guys... within 5 minutes I am the last one standing with 10+ specials focusing me down and it is over. There is just nothing I can do to save the day.

The same situation happens everyone on Zealot and Ogryn and I laugh it off, ult, drop a grenade, use the tools in my aresenal to either pick them up or clutch and resure the pubbies in a few minutes.

I am really just at my wits end. Before the patch, I have fun doing the missions on all my chars each week... Now it is just a nightmare once I get to the Psyker.

[spice veldt]

i guess one of the more tangible things to start with is your build

weapons & skill tree?

[jolly ridge]

Is there an easy way to share that?

[spice veldt]

could screenshot them piece-wise

[jolly ridge]

Sure, can do.

[valid talon]

I thought about it since I know that skill is good having used it, but im not sure where to pull the point from. Perfect timing is an up to 15% warp damage boost, hopefully 15% given the crit nature of this build. The other option would be to pull from battle meditation, which is 10% chance to quell 10% peril on kill. Given you're mowing down shit in damnation, I feel like this is actually a pretty good skill.

[steel flame]

WELL

i found a fun little boss killer combo for psyker

[spice veldt]

I'd pull from Purloin (+chance to quell on killing Disrupt Destiny target)

[valid talon]

I put away perilous since it is a DOT, and usually from trash mods

Hmm...maybe thats not a bad idea

IDK how often it triggers

[spice veldt]

it's an expected value of 3% peril quelled per marked target killed

which is extremely low value

[steel flame]

so uh, rending trauma for 16 stacks of brittle followed up by rending mk4 saber headshots......just kinds fucks bosses up so hard

[spice veldt]

perilous combustion is easily one of the most broken talents on psyker's tree https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1ySZUDbU_fPRcN/d1337GddcnLk?invite=cr-MSx1WGMsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[valid talon]

This is such an ugly looking tree lmao

[spice veldt]

534 damage per soulblaze tick on the mauler to the left btw

[spice veldt]

rip bozo

[steel flame]

i did 47k damage to a plague ogryn with just trauma then saber....

poor bastard got vaporized

[valid talon]

Do you think wildfire is a good idea as well?

[potent echo]

Duellies good

[steel flame]

its all the rending stacking

makes the boss into paper

[potent echo]

Wildfire only if you go soulblaze, but even then it's a throwaway pick

[valid talon]

The only thing I can think of giving up for it is either sancturary or perfect timing

[potent echo]

Easy to pick up since it's on the way, might give you some value

[steel flame]

wildfire is an amazing pick for fire trauma

but meh otherwise

also

i hate bubble shields on maelstrom now

fuck bubble shields

[spice veldt]

😢

[steel flame]

STOP POPPING THEM WHILE POXBURSTERS ARE COMING

I CANT FUCKING PUSH THEm NOW YOU DUMBASS

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[whole oxide]

wait, is that a thing?

[pale pilot]

what do bubble shields do to stop bursters being pushed?

[steel flame]

it slightly staggers them

and then they have stagger resistance

because they got staggered

[pale pilot]

so are brain rupture and void staff the only real tools we have for fighting bosses?

[steel flame]

i found that rending trauma followed by rending mk4 saber melts bosses

[whole oxide]

a gun

or purgatus isn't terrible

[spice veldt]

and bloodletter chainsword

[valid talon]

I mean void staff is pretty damn good vs bosses...

[steel flame]

dumdum infernus laspistol fucks bosses up super hard with a crit build

[spice veldt]

vstrike's sustained DPS is not too great compared to other options

the stagger is convenient though

[pale pilot]

yeah but i'm kinda dogshit at at void staff. or i feel like i'm dogshit at voidstaff

[wispy pike]

MIND BULLETS

[pale pilot]

vstrike?

[spice veldt]

i'm just shortening voidstrike to vstrike

[whole oxide]

yeah, but, if i hit for 2000 damage, even if i spent 10 years charging it, that must still means its amazing dps right? right?

[pale pilot]

ah

[steel flame]

come over to the dark side and join the laspistol wizard gang

[harsh heron]

zarona gun best wizard

[steel flame]

i will END YOU

[jolly ridge]

Honestly, the Las Pistol is so fun to use and it got a massive buff.

[steel flame]

SAY THAT TO THE BARREL OF MY LASPISTOL

[pale pilot]

also for the staves that aren't purg, should i be be trying to aim for full charge or spamming as fast as it can or is it more of a situational thing?

[steel flame]

well....laspistol is the same as it was before the big patch

the game changer is that it has a whole crit tree that it gets to abuse

[whole oxide]

not the most crazy run ever, but, clean auric maelstrom yesterday with blazing trauma, brain rupture, bubble:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eykrcVWj-1E

[steel flame]

the laspistol buff is coming in patch 14

fire rate AND damage?

fuck yea

[pale pilot]

also why is the mk4 dueling saber memed so much in here and are the other DS fine?

[steel flame]

sign me up

[steel flame]

because mk4 oneshots fuckin everything

[spice veldt]

fatshark buffed the mk4 heavies to be better than the other two

[steel flame]

its disgusting how much damage the heavy stabs do

[valid talon]

What do you guys think is better between these 2 trees? One goes telekinetic shield + upgrades, +4% crit aura, and 1s ranged dodging on crit (for a crit build), the other gives 10-33% toughness DR, -5% peril generation, and venting shirek + upgrades

[whole oxide]

for what weapons?

[valid talon]

IDK how important crit aura or 1s ranged dodge on crit is, but the venting shirek option seems tempting

Voidstrike

However, telekinetic shield has good teamplay syngergy

[steel flame]

also, i started playing with brain rupture tonight as part of my rending trauma build.......i dont understand what everyone is bitching about

[valid talon]

And -10% ability cd aura isnt huge, since most people arnt chaining abilities back to back

[half turtle]

that's what i've been saying for a week

[steel flame]

its so easy to abuse brain rupture by using the 2 charges of flat shield to just have sped up charge time

[whole oxide]

its better than pre-patch, it's just not new and shiny

[steel flame]

all the time

[orchid shadow]

Arg, still feel so lost with the patch. What should Blitz skill should I be trying to pair with Surge now? I'm so used to Brain bursting for snipers, but now it feels like too much single target overlap.

[pale pilot]

it's a gamefeel thing to me. i want to be doing and reacting to stuff and the brainburst making me plant my ass down and not do something for the charge time frustrates me

if i end up with a good mk4 ds what should i be aiming for for blessings/perks

[half turtle]

you can still reposition and dodge during the bb channel i think

it's not too bad

you kinda have to get into the habit of dodging while channeling

and shoving right before

to maximize the action economy or whatever

[whole oxide]

but thats the thing, BR allows you to be way more reactive, you can quickswap to it and insta-latch onto things, in a way that other blitzes can't

[pale pilot]

yeah but also then another party member decidea to just shoot whatever you're charging on and you've wasted time

[steel flame]

well ive been using the 2 charge telekine shield to just bypass the charge time, and after the first kill ive got 100% faster charge with empowered so its a near instant charge

and i can just chain kill with it

[brittle dagger]

Hey I was curious what the outfit penance was for psyker I’m new and I can’t figure it out

[whole oxide]

depends what difficulty you're playing on, if there's not much else going on, sure, its too slow

[half turtle]

if you have EP it's reasonably fast

just take the "get EP stack when killing elite" and save it for priority stuff

or you can take the "reduce channel time on F" version

they also stack so if you have both you can mow through a line of gunners in literally 1-2s

[steel flame]

i tend to fixate on stuff and try to push it to the limit, before moving onto another build to do the same, and BR was my target for tonight along with flat shield and rend stacking, and it just so happens that having on demand fast BB charge with 2 charge fast shield is kinda great when it also creates a buffer to let me start the chain killing

[vivid merlin]

voidstrike doesn't work with blazing spirit?

[steel flame]

.....

wot

yes it does

who said that

[brittle dagger]

Hey I was curious what the outfit penance was for psyker I’m new and I can’t figure it out

[pale pilot]

interesting. also how's that toughness greed build working out?

[valid talon]

Zealot with a knife just shanked a deamonhost

I wish I was joking

We didnt last long

[pale pilot]

yeah i had to cool off for a few hours because daemonhosts ending runs ealier today

[spice veldt]

going well, though I decided to just allocate my points into disrupt destiny instead

[steel flame]

this is the build i settled on for rending and bb

[spice veldt]

cuz i laid off of the crack and decided that spending 4 points for +15 toughness was not the best idea

[pale pilot]

so is DD only specials or can it attach to trash mobs? also do you have to be the one to kill them?

[spice veldt]

human-sized non-specialist enemies that aren't poxwalkers/groaners

so basically human-sized patrol enemies

[steel flame]

it can go on bombers

[spice veldt]

and yeah you have to be the one to kill them

interesting

[steel flame]

ive seen it

and flamers

[pale pilot]

wretched for me then, and explains why i couldn't really maintain stacks

i'm okay at killing stuff but when it becomes kill specific thing i start to suck

[steel flame]

soon as you kill one it highlights another

so it incentivizes you to target them

works better for targeted killing builds rather than something like purgatus

or void

or trauma

[spice veldt]

hmm just testing in the psyk, it doesn't mark flamers or bombers

[steel flame]

i swear its marked them

its hard to miss

when it happens

[pale pilot]

so what makes surgestaff+soulfire talents good

[spice veldt]

there's also a bug with marked enemies not glowing sometimes

[pale pilot]

[pain]

[steel flame]

typical fatshark things

youll learn how to just roll with it eventually

not that it makes it any less pain

[pale pilot]

so what four nodes did you dump for DD, arcotash?

[spice veldt]

all of the nodes on the left branch

so 5 nodes in actuality

put 3 into DD and the rest into ult upgrades

[pale pilot]

3 as in dd and 2 upgrades or dd and its 3 upgrades?

[spice veldt]

3 points into DD (Disrupt Destiny, Lingering Influence, Cruel Fortune)
2 points into the upgrade nodes for shield (Telekine Dome, Sanctuary)

[pale pilot]

aah

thanks. gonna try it out

[whole oxide]

doesnt' rending have an upper limit?

[steel flame]

80%

rending on saber and brittle are to different statuses

[brittle dagger]

What’s a good talent tree based around assail

[steel flame]

and they stack the rending

its diminishing returns after a certain point

[whole oxide]

ahhh, interesting

[bleak tulip]

🙏

[olive ember]

I run this personally

voidstrike + dueling sword

[steel flame]

ew

[bleak tulip]

been trying warp charge assail and besides shouting more I don't really see the point

[kind jay]

what that 8gig fiber do tho

[bleak tulip]

can you win

[thin finch]

you run 8gig giber internet ?

[olive ember]

random ad

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steel flame]

sounds like a skill issue

[thin finch]

voidstrike *+ assail + dueling sword (MK4 I assume)
May I call you a meta slave ?

[olive ember]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

someone wanted an assail build

[thin finch]

I know we shoudl enjoy it while it last but eh

[olive ember]

also thats not warp charge thats empowered psionics

tho warp charge does work with voidstrike

[thin finch]

especially since ,for once, fatshark did not just hammer assail into the ground weirdly

[bleak tulip]

if it makes me require less brain. power to do cool shit what's the harm

[olive ember]

all they had to do was lower capacity and recharge rate and tada jobs done ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thin finch]

voidstrike sorry , morning brain

[olive ember]

but nope

[bleak tulip]

need the damage, make the weapon more spammy

[thin finch]

reduce lmb damage and increase rmb damage

[spice veldt]

make assail a quick-swap weapon >:(

god needs to shoot assail's ammo economy in the knees

not its damage

[thin finch]

if it make assail reach a breakpoint that might be a nerf but still too much availabillity

[spice veldt]

i shouldn't ever be incentivized to hold out assail for more than a few seocnds

[bleak tulip]

just spam another shard instead

not like you gotta conserve em

[spice veldt]

shlerp

that's the sound of me eating a shard since they come back every 1.4 seconds anyways

[bleak tulip]

taste like warp

[steel flame]

Hey @spice veldt do you know if the crit damage increase on disrupt destiny is calculated properly or the same awful way as crit damage perk

[ornate hamlet]

fuck psyker...

[spice veldt]

i assume it's the same as the perk

[steel flame]

Oh well

[spice veldt]

would be some hot jank if the calculation were different

[steel flame]

I wouldn't put it past them

[spice veldt]

I know that the +weakspot bonus is the same as the perk since Brain Burst doesn't benefit from it (because 1x weakspot multiplier lul)

[spice veldt]

true as a vet main all my homies hate psykers

[steel flame]

I hate fatshark math.......

[olive ember]

lmao vet mains

this is prob my favorite build tho

with funny purge staff

tho it probably works with blazing trauma as well

dunno if I'd stick with BB over assail tho

[torpid girder]

It's so weird how u can see other players' trauma staff targeting circle when they're using one

[olive ember]

90 toughness psyker moment

[spice veldt]

have you yet experienced the fear of god as you see a trauma circle under a burster right next to you

[half turtle]

usually i manage to restrain myself from hitting lmb

[spice veldt]

same

except for the times that I don't

[olive ember]

You let bursters close to you?

[half turtle]

yes also sometimes i'm just blindfiring it at a door and a burster walks up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[olive ember]

I just run between my teammates

[bleak tulip]

scream baiting

[half turtle]

really not my fault when that happens

[spice veldt]

top 10 ways to avoid accountability

god divined them to be blown up at that doorway

what a shame

[half turtle]

yes

unfortunately i didn't take disrupt destiny

so i have no way to stop it

[torpid girder]

Lol that sounds terrifying

[spice veldt]

that's sooooo true!!!!

[spice veldt]

it really is

[pale pilot]

okay yeah i still don't like DD

[thin finch]

come fuck me yourself !

[pale pilot]

it does seem to be able to attach itself to any humansized enemy

[ornate hamlet]

😏

[spice veldt]

i figured that I could go for 1.7k dmg assail shard memes with DD

[pale pilot]

that isn't a poxwalker or groaner

so i saw it attach to a mauler, a sniper, and a gunner

but attaching to a special seems rare

and i didn't see it attach to any of the melee roamers

[thin finch]

Didn't you already it 7k on a crusher?

[spice veldt]

it attaches itself to bruisers, and those tend to be the worst offenders of not glowing

[spice veldt]

yeah that was the inspiration for when I realized that i had underestimated the +weakspot and +crit dmg bonus from DD for assail

[pale pilot]

oh it might be attaching to other things and not glowing, right

[bleak tulip]

it does

[spice veldt]

simply intuit through the morphogenetic field the marked enemies

[thin finch]

BTW DD also seems to have an "assist kill" windows that is very short

[night zephyr]

what are some good combos for trauma blessings/rolls/perks, looking to convert from purg

[thin finch]

or maybe it's related of how the game consider ones responsible for a kill

[pale pilot]

but yeah do not like DD. if it was more like the zealot's kills within range where you didn't have to do the kills yourself it'd probably be fine

[spice veldt]

for stats, Blast Radius and Charge Rate are agreed to be the most important
For Damage/Warp Resistance/Quell Speed, pick your poison among them as the dump stat because we still argue about it to this day

[thin finch]

Damage a dump stat D: ?

[pale pilot]

on the flipside it is funny and fun to get into a counterattack battle with a catachan sword and a solo bulwark

[night zephyr]

i get that on dump stats, lots of weapons still like that like combat knife, how about blessings?

[spice veldt]

you can usually hit breakpoints anyways and damage doesn't really scale hugely on trauma

[pale pilot]

i counter he bonks with shield in response and i counter etc until he finally swings with his mace and i oneshot him with the counter

[spice veldt]

enough to kill bruisers would be what I would aim for, though I haven't checked with the new stats

[spice veldt]

You usually run Rending Shockwave & Warp Flurry
or Blazing Spirit/Warp Nexus

[bleak tulip]

wouldn't it allow you to hit breakpoints with less than full charge at least

either way Def not team damage I gurss

[night zephyr]

nexus blazing, thats an interesting one i havent seen yet!

[bleak tulip]

was all the rage before the patch

[spice veldt]

I usually just full-charge trauma cuz y not

you're not too immobile anyways

[night zephyr]

did it get nerfed?

[bleak tulip]

no

[pale pilot]

are there any decent builds that take all the nodes in the beginning of the tree before blitz choices?

[bleak tulip]

void is just hilariously overtuned

so that's all the rage now

[night zephyr]

heard its getting nerfed, will that push trauma ahead?

[bleak tulip]

I mean you can but you don't need it

[bleak tulip]

doubt

nerf too smol

[wispy pike]

what are they doing to voidstrike

[pale pilot]

tuning down the damage a bit

[primal aurora]

Do you people think Trauma needs a buff?

[bleak tulip]

it prob reigns it back in hit it's still strong imo

[pale pilot]

it means you go from a rocket launcher to a grenade launcher

[spice veldt]

I think trauma is fine

it sits in that role of being basically for melee maelstrom

[night zephyr]

i like the idea of trauma plus bubble dome, invincibility area

[bleak tulip]

do what your heart tells you

[thin finch]

BTW , I am not sure but I think double projectile on critica hit might not be that good https://youtu.be/JqaZ-bffLZ4

[bleak tulip]

the problem with bubble is that your vet's gonna bitch about not being able to see shit

[night zephyr]

lol im fine with that, i make tag my left click and usually run purg staff

[bleak tulip]

and getting chucked out by hyperfocusing on some fucking gunner while he's getting assblasted by a mutie

[night zephyr]

so lots of left clicks

[night zephyr]

sounds like a "fun" vet

[bleak tulip]

most vets

[primal aurora]

Actually yes, I would like bubble dome to be more transparent, there is no need for such visible dome.

[night zephyr]

my vets in vc usually love my bubble XD

[night zephyr]

i do like the glow for foggy dark auric

[bleak tulip]

they should, bubble is comfy

[pale pilot]

also gigabrain move, throwing out a secondary fire assail right before a dog hits you so that after it lands on you the shard does a uturn and slaps the dog of you

[night zephyr]

also they should have effectivley 1k toughness in it

[pale pilot]

pulled that off last game unintentionally

[night zephyr]

50% perk, 33% perk, 50% dome, means only 15% damage taken

[plucky flax]

Yes. It's too weak.

[thin finch]

I think it should be more visible, and glow ,like a flashbang upon being deployed

[night zephyr]

should i buy this or hold out?

the 375 seems nuts, but rending is low and weak spot damage badd

[thin finch]

Does trauma hit weak spot ?

are foot a weakspot ?

[spice veldt]

If only

unfortunately despite having the Transfer Peril blessing, it can not make good use of it

[strong gulch]

I wouldn't.

[bleak tulip]

maybe next patch they'll fix left click

[strong gulch]

Both perks and blessings are 🙃

[pale pilot]

yeah the voidballs leftclick on the saves feels trash and garbage to me

[thin finch]

they are drunktard that can't go straight

[spice veldt]

they suit a role but I wont say no to a damage-oriented LMB

[pale pilot]

and it's not just me that feels that?

okay good

[spice veldt]

no ur insane

keep your Psyker rp away from us

[thin finch]

Even the devsaid it

[bleak tulip]

wouldn't it be nice if left click was at least reliable for picking off stragglers

[pale pilot]

so they're just wildly inaccurate and i'm not even worse at aiming than i thought

[regal musk]

Left clicks should be staff unique ...

[thin finch]

You're probably still , but yeah there are innacurate, a bit less now , like it was way worse before I feel, but still

[regal musk]

Sucks that 3/4 staves have the same LMB shot

[pale pilot]

ye. a little zappo on the surge staff

[spice veldt]

they're perfectly accurate but have some issues because of ping

[thin finch]

Chad Sienna "Each staff is unique" vs Virgin Psyker "Drunking ball only"

[pale pilot]

a slow small explosive on the boomstaff

[regal musk]

I just wisah they drag all of Siennas staves over to us >_>

[bleak tulip]

the projectile is also sorta slow

[pale pilot]

and void can keep its bowling balls

[bleak tulip]

but yeah mostly it's ping

[near wyvern]

Cause the boost to finesse is not enough. If you stack it with DD you are getting somewhere but untill DD is more reliable precog is one tier lower compared to riposte.

Shred is obviously good cause you can keep it up as long as you have a thing to fight. Shred and riposte are somewhat comparable, one is more later other is more initially.

[grizzled jasper]

Recon starts looking like a staff if you stare at it long enough

[bleak tulip]

no

[grizzled jasper]

No balls

[near wyvern]

Yeah it's the long range fire staff

[thin finch]

sadly there is a number going down instead of up when I use it ,so I'm confuse

[near wyvern]

Just runs out of juice fast

[grizzled jasper]

Would be amazing if they gave us a new staff but it’s basically a copy and paste recon

[bleak tulip]

I get it you want bolt staff

[grizzled jasper]

[whole oxide]

of all the dumb takes people have about balance, the one that takes the prize was someone claiming pre-patch psyker was OP because staff LMB has no recoil

[orchid shadow]

A new staff would be neat. Gimme one where I telekinetically pick up an enemy and and use them to smack into things.

[spice veldt]

true autopistol had recoil so it wasn't op

[regal musk]

Ill raise you a guy a couple days after launch telling me Psykers were OP because staves dont use ammo.

[spice veldt]

launch psykers :pensive:

[thin finch]

What I really want is a way to change my brain power color

[spice veldt]

RGB brain burst

[thin finch]

Heretics gonna sees color when they dies

makes all his ability green ,including purgatus staff
allies shit themself every minutes

[bleak tulip]

sneakily install that mod that changes the fire FX on zealot nade and makes it look Ike bad fire

[whole oxide]

if BB came with a full rainbow disco lightshow, plus disco ball

[regal musk]

Im sure theres a mod for that somewhere ...

[grizzled jasper]

I want to change the brightness to all the way up

I want it to flash my teammates everytime

[grizzled jasper]

Where is the weeb music

[spice veldt]

caramelldansen not hard-hitting enough for the likes of you?

[bleak tulip]

youth these days

[near wyvern]

They are not far off. Psyker LMB (especially Surge staff) is super strong because it's not affected by supression and you can machine gun fire it with quell cancels.

[bleak tulip]

the recoil is you having to actually do something to shoot that fast

[near wyvern]

It just doesn't make sense for it to have recoil

[whole oxide]

and that definitely is comparable to pre-patch counterfire shredder vet

[near wyvern]

I think shitty projectile behaviour is a fine way of balancing it

[dusk rose]

psyker is legit so fun

[spice veldt]

yeah balance-wise i think it's fine

just a different LMB would be nice

[near wyvern]

Or if we are super wild, a usable special. Like an additional spell.

[spice veldt]

i think the current bolt could be fun for quickswap enthusiasts if we ever had a reason to conserve assail shards https://streamable.com/t1ywkz

[bleak tulip]

make trauma lmb shoot a dumb loop

ok Emperor

how are you gonna troll me

with this one

I just know you will

[solar sand]

well thats voidstrike taken care of

[ornate hamlet]

nice little fairy staff

where's your gun at?

[solar sand]

all on my vet

surge and void too busted

well surge is ok

[spice veldt]

almost got shanked in a back alley had you not put that addendum

[solar sand]

trauma any good with some decent perks?

[untold meteor]

where my artillery crew at

[shell marsh]

Finished my weeklies for the first time, any reccomendations for a good staff?

[whole oxide]

they're all good, play whatever tingles your dopamine

[spice veldt]

though the trauma staff is particularly painful at low ratings

[solar sand]

@shell marsh this is the meta one, stat wise

[thin finch]

not 4
you still have to chase

[solar sand]

surge and void are the main

nah im too lazy for that

plus i wanna level an ogryn, trying to get all my builds comft in auric

[thin finch]

R.I.P the Omnissiah

[shy prairie]

mmm mk4 dueling sword

my beloved

[spice veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-plink-cat-gif-1794292671885121408

[shy prairie]

now I'm gonna say some heresy

rampage on it..

[still hearth]

Sibling no

[shy prairie]

Sibling
yes

[whole oxide]

until they patch it, its legit the right answer

[shy prairie]

the flexibility between shove attacking some poxwalkers and going at it with lights for clear, and throwing out those super hot heavy thrusts for anything that needs to die

plus if you're fighting mixed horde, slap some dudes with a shove into a heavy and you ass blast them

[still hearth]

I mean it's stupid strong because of the bug for sure

[strong gulch]

I'm finally starting to use assail.

[stable violet]

fire

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/hook-peter-youredoingit-gif-9904925

[still hearth]

fire

[shy prairie]

[spice veldt]

rampage all over the heretics

and occasionally oneshot crushers

[shy prairie]

my addiction to scriers and deny destiny will continue

poke the dudes in the brain and then go fast?

[strong gulch]

gotta go fast

[shy prairie]

literally perfect

[stable violet]

Or perhaps if your tired of hitting things without letting them have true pain

INFINITE POWAH!!

[shy prairie]

true pain is my voidstrike with surge and nexus

[potent echo]

Assail go wish whoosh oops no more heretics

[stable violet]

true pain is buying the game and not having a pc that can run it

[strong gulch]

true pain is my hand when I play knife.

[shy prairie]

the random crusher getting double donk critted from across the map:

[valid talon]

Did some playtesting and is it just me or disrupt destiny kinda meh?

[stable violet]

Every class gets its own funny little thing

[shy prairie]

dd gives me speed and turns the enemies into glowies

[potent echo]

It's decent if you team is twiddling thumbs

[whole oxide]

it is extremely meh, unless you like chasing meme 1-shots for clips

[shy prairie]

never forget terry

[spice veldt]

DD is rather quite unreliable esp with the bug

[potent echo]

Bad if your team is actually good

[spice veldt]

that too

[stable violet]

psyker gets assail zealot gets the bonk hammer and Ogryn gets well it’s just that

[strong gulch]

DD op in fog.

[valid talon]

Does it highlight for teammates too?

[spice veldt]

unfortunately, there are these things called "teammates" who will kill marked targets and you won't get any DD stacks

[plucky flax]

Challenge: impossible.

[valid talon]

Yeah I feel like it does, similar to brain burst

Because every single fucking time I get a guy marked the veteran is on his ass

[potent echo]

Imagine new penance, keep max DD stacks for 5 minutes

[stable violet]

Unless you play with friends who are just starting

[shy prairie]

the glowing enemies exist to eat voidstrike crit ws

[pale pilot]

379 mk4 dueling sword

lowest stat is damage

[shy prairie]

post is

[pale pilot]

how uh. how worried should i be about that?

[plucky flax]

No I mean 98% of players I meet when solo match making are sus af.

[jolly cedar]

what curios are best for psyker?

[still hearth]

DD is pretty good if you're fine with not always having stacks

[pale pilot]

DD is extremely feast or famine

[strong gulch]

glowing enemies exits to confuse me and throw my target priority in the dumpster.

[stable violet]

I get yelled at all the time just for not healing cause someone takes 2 and I don’t wanna look like a meanie

[potent echo]

60%? It should still kill most things quickly

[bleak tulip]

wouldnt it be nice if they used the warp charge degeneration logic on those stacks as well?

[still hearth]

No

[pale pilot]

65%, it's almost 80 in most other stats

[valid talon]

Theres a pennance I remember for psyker thats absolutely stupid - do 90% of a bosses HP using brain burst only? Wtf who designed that one and locked one of the dopest looking armors behind it

[still hearth]

It's fun (not fun)

[shy prairie]

sir, you solo a bon bon.

[stable violet]

I think I did this one before

[potent echo]

Bring it to the meatgrinder and see if you can one shot mutants, need maniac 25% and some uncanny stacks

[strong gulch]

How many of us have ADHD or executive dysfunction??

gotta get the shiny

[potent echo]

I only got it by doing some exploit

[valid talon]

I also wish brain burst was more viable

Sure lets just use half my peril to do like 30% of a specials hp

[undone carbon]

just tried psyker for the first time since the overhaul and man i love them lil assail shards- what ranged weap do you pair w it?

[potent echo]

It's getting buffed next patch

[pale pilot]

yeah upgrading it didn't do good things

[still hearth]

I'm autistic so definitely the latter

[valid talon]

Oh and 5 seconds charging

While not being to do anything else

[potent echo]

Honestly anything because shards are out 99% of the time

But I like surge or trauma

Anything that can deal with crushers

[shy prairie]

[potent echo]

Revolver too

[valid talon]

New build since DD is apparently hot garbage

[shy prairie]

put your magic bee icicles away

[valid talon]

How good is wildfire?

[still hearth]

Where's your CDR aura

[still hearth]

It does a bit of chip damage to things

[valid talon]

IMO 10% cooldown isnt very useful, since most people arnt chaining abilities

[still hearth]

It's 17.5%

[valid talon]

10% more damage to elites and specials is very useful on damnation

[still hearth]

[still hearth]

Only elites btw

[valid talon]

?? it says 10% CDR

[still hearth]

Yes

Fatshark moment

[potent echo]

I like it for purgatus because it prebakes some heretics not in your direct line of fire

[still hearth]

Both are bugged

[valid talon]

lmao

These devs

[shy prairie]

the magic trick: have a critical bleed zealot on your team with cdr aura

[still hearth]

But also it lets you run the crit evasion node
