it's possible that I'm unlucky, but the crit chance would be lower than I'd expect if it were 27.5%
just testing against a plague ogryn and spamming shots while precog is up
blazing to nexus, unyielding to flak prob
flak or carapace
unyielding isnt that bad tho
dont really need cara on void pretty sure
maybe next patch
do i want surge?
yes
i'd keep those perks tbh
oh so this is good then?
about as good as you can get
yeah its a good staff
wait for future balance changes and see if you need to change anything
with the 2nd craft
When new players get a staff that took me like a month to farm 
you can, changing the perk is pretty optional, you already got the good one you want
@spice veldt
rip disowned by parents and extended family
Someone likes hurting Arco
my favorite past time
i forgot i was alone in vc yesterday
he pops in and says
hello wh0re
and leaves
nuh uh
bad person
it was "hiiii whoooore"
gotta respect it
this is what i'm 'walking' with it
or my tiny fire
i wouldnt call it running
mans doin a crit build without true strike
disowned by government
Got a T4 by upgrading to blue.
Y'all spoke sustained fire into my game. 😂
It just works
what’s that
i approve of it, but don't tell the cops about it
we dont talk to the pigs
No it's brain rupture, not brain bad 🤓
so far
I can one-shot mutants 100% of the time in the training room but in real games they don't always die even when I poke them directly in the face 🤔 is there something off about the training room I'm not aware of?
@spice veldt @humble star I'm consistently able to crit more often on trauma with riposte up. I did only about 10 times with then without riposte. So it's a small sample size tho.
I just wish the description made it clear if it's universal or not 
cause if it is that's amazing
That's asking a lot 🥲
photoshopped
Riposte on dueling sword and hand cannon on revolver. 
Best force sword type or does it not matter?
Depends on if you like stabby stabby, or slashing
slash
illisi
@spice veldt
wow you're pretty fast at photoshop
lmao
Poor grohm
Best one for slashing?
gunlugger, close enough

the guy right below you already answered
illisi
srry, I should've also said it
(this is a lie to disguise his low score because his hands have grown tired from photoshopping)
They are all good or fine.
Illis is great at hordes, special spam, and easy of use. Not great against carapace and takes a bit extra time on maulers. Special does NOT animation lock you.
Deimos is much better at single target with the heavy 2. Much butter at carapace. Can manage hordes, but you really have to pay attention. Special DOES animation lock you.
Obscurus is largely forgotten. Special DOES animation lock you.
THE GOAT
Issue now is Duelling swords do as well as Deimos with easier moveset
The obscurus is what I've been really liking tbh
but I need one thats better for "endgame" stuff
Also is it just me or does Deimos special feel pointless? I just use light 2nd heavy stabs for damage
is peepee poopoo
Obscurus was the OG, then they later released the other two which pretty much outperform it.
Some still really the the obscurus, but they are few and far between.
Okay so I'm buildin this for my crit scryers build, should i touch the perks or just leave em n try to go for transfer peril 4 / warp nexus 4 or warp nexus 4 / surge 4
OUTPERFORM???? Fookin sick
I only use deimos special on crushers when I know I'm not going to get hit with something else.
Obscurus needs a rather complex combo tech for dealing with hordes
@spice veldt ...
I just started again and I'm digging all the new stuff
Deimos too but easier, Illisi go swooosh swing swing wataahhh
I want more things tho
You'll get them sooner than you expect
great maelstrom
I've heard that a few times, what do I not know?
what did I miss?
Hmmm older weapons once considered shite are now the hottest shite everyone likes
mmmmk I can dig it
comparing launch revolver to patch 14 revolver is funny
What new changes in patch 14?
bad
For revolver? another big damage buff
the bolt lmb did better than I expected it to
I thought Revolver was pretty good already haha
i will hack your steam account and delete your psyker
wtf!!!!
mussat will die
I actually use the lmb more now for sniper and such, using surge btw
i literally used it for 80% of the game
Though i heard the Staff lmb getting nerf in patch 14?
It's probably mostly so it can keep it's breakpoints against elite enemies. But it's still a nice buff
leading shots can be difficult ofc
i did alot a damage, but my kills got stolen often
Ah yes, elite be doing the resistance
ragers hitting the steroids
excuses excuses
I like the high suppression for staff lmb, helps a bit till i get close
thoughts
what no ICD does to a mf
when surge procs, both projectiles crit, as oyu all likely know
so thats 10% toughness on hit
coupled with the other feats
constant toughness
i was under the impression that the surge proj was a non crit
Staff melee meta when?
more importantly you become speed
Should a Psyker character be short or tall?
both projectiles crit on hit
380 is max stats right?
i prefer tall for being slightly better at looking over enemies
settle for a 365-375 weapon
IMO always short
there's a mod to change your height server-side after the fact, so don't worry about it
Staff length scales with char height so
just got a 379 IV lasgun
tall helps with void I find but it kinda doesnt matter
you wish this mod were for irl
quiet yourself and your existence
Is there a mod to change character voice yet?
touch grass
being tall is overrated
touching grass is overrated
Can it affect any body part? Asking for a friend
oh, interesting, I definitely need that then as I'd like to experiment and think its stupid that you can use surgeon later to alter appearance but not height
This is what I tell myself too 
touch arse
not being able to change voice also bothers me, as I see literally no reason NOT to allow that
no fr, I bump into everything, I need to pay extra for extra leg room on planes for examples
@feral verge are you still playing
yes
alright let me join you in this boogaloo
Yeah i don't get it
i'm gonna throw your games
i kinda liked it
really now
i am considering running it on my melee build
just as a supplement
i was running surge st aff to open up bulwarks
Brain burst, combat knife, surge staff
but i can still open thme up with rmb
no horde clear allowed
any new missions teased?
(cuz its a trauma staff)
yeah my first vet I leveled to 15 before I deleted him and started over because his voice was really annoying me. would be nice to just change it at the barber
i am running this on my melee build
Cleanse Nurgle's Taint
...hehe
to romanticize the days of old illisi
I'm literally doing the same thing rn for Psyker, since the enforcer voice just doesn't fit my character. I honestly kinda hate all the male psyker voices so I'm starting over with a girl psyker
old man wishing for the good ol days
Beloved and German Psyker has something to say about that
b-but, illisi buff coming
Beloved voice with Shards doing the maniacal cackles sends good shivers down my spine
French psyker girl kinda boring but eh, c'est la vie
beloved is too happy for me, and german psyker is just too over the top and annoying for my tastes. female german psyker is a tad more toned down and believable, imo
assuming a psyker wouldn't be over the top and annoying 
Most go french psyker cause they want a psychic french mommy

shhhhh
Tbh i cant tell what accent female Loner psyker is sometimes
I love the german psyker. the "my beloved" one seems like it could get kinda annoying just because they say "my beloved" every 2 seconds, and the third one just seems kinda basic personality-wise
Sometimes Transylvanian, sometimes Indian
Although now with assail we need a southern accent
I find german psyker funny because he makes me wonder how he isnt dead yet with all his blasphemous sass he's spewing while working under the INQUISITION
Americans in 40K? Since when? Lolol
Since they brought Yondu into it 
The VA is not French tho
The accent is French tho
Dont care. The voice is what we get
Almost like VAs were paid for their talent not their ethnicity haha
can you imagine your char whistling each time you shoot a shard?
Fake french. As a native you feel it.
Nah man we're the rejects. Chuck us in the meat grinder and we'll get executed somehow
I will forever be curious on how their take on Femgryns will be like
I lust for ogrussy
They should've made it a French Canadian accent just to really set French people off
If an accent is a funny stereotype kind of fake, i don't mind. Its intentionally funny
is the male savant Jamaican? I'm bad with identifying accents and have never been able to tell if that's exactly what he is
As long as its not a tryhard accent that sounds bad anyway... looking at you OW2
Sounds like it to me
I imagine that female orc/ogre from Baldurs Gate
So true!
He's from Zimbabwe
But yeah it feels kinda creole-ish
@hazy locust
I'm thinking doing autopistol brain burst for krieg gun psyker
I love having 2 vets in my group but still have 20 fucking gunners shooting me freely
Male Savant sounds more African to me ala Mazosi
I wish our mission providers are chilling around so we can talk to them
You need to dive like a zealot!
Sorry, it's 2 zealots 
I felt that yesterday. 3 vets when leveling my Zealot every gunner decimating me. lol
Infiltrate melee vet? 
“Repositioning….”
double dagger/revolver zealot with relic
vet loots some plasteel and kills nothing
I do like the suppresion when leaving infiltrate tho
anyone have a good assail build? and is the revolver a good backup for carapace when running assail?
any build that has assail is a good assail build
but in all honesty for me it depends on what 2ndry you run
if you want to run assail, you can run shields and warp siphon
what's warp siphon
or venting if you don't want to manage your perill
er bottom left tree
oh the 30% quell speed?
yer
here's what I have rn (level 25, still working on getting to 30) and keep in mind this is literally just almost random picks with a brief read over
I run force sword and revolver but that's just what I have cause I'm leveling
I have the trauma staff too
you can run this with practically anything and you'll be fine up till heressy hi-intensity
right so this is good to just spam assail
what about the empowered psionics keystone
is that any good
if you find yourself dying alot you can use that yes
it gives A LOT of toughness to you and your team
this if you want to just braindead and spam assail
Personally I don't really run quick shards (the 2nd branch of assail)
but it does give you back charges very quickly
I see
what about auras then?
currently I have 4 crit chance
you run dmg to elites
Sry spam AND heal team toughness*
gotcha
That's fine too
This is very strong for crit builds
Which will most likely be what you run in the end
right
I think the left and right auras are the best ones
I don't really feel a need for the middle one (seer's presence)
with the current build I'm running or the one you sent, what do you reccomend
going back to my initial question, is revolver good?
since assail is better for closer range typically I find
Er it's okay
I'm a staff kinda guy
which do you prefer
for psyker you really can just run whatever you like
Each staff has their own playstyle I guess
I usually run voidstrike
Which is basically a pocket nuke whenever you run into bulwarks or crushers
ok
Surge, horde clear??
yer
I meant the other one
trauma I think?
I don't play psyker often
Purgatory/trauma I guess
Aights
Trauma becomes probably the best staff in the game
if you get rendering weakness
it basically lets your team do double dmg
but eh it's kinda support ish playstyle if you ever want to try
anyone tried mk12 gun pysker?
guess who I was
i know the +1 chain works for the staff, but does the 10% also apply to surge staff?
Pretty sure it doesn't
Assail man
no it doesn't
How are these perks?
no assail was used
flak and maniac
o for real
Hoping to hold at least one reroll to slap surge on instead of transfer.
Why.
Why would you @ me.
1 was BB/purg psyker, 1 was vet, 2 others were zealots with dagger/revolver
sheee bb enjoyer
Honestly bb is pretty good with kinetic resonance
I've been running it and it's NOT BAD
It helps me deal with pesky gunners & shit in cover
We were talking about femgryns.
They’re canon in Necromunda, at least!
Whats our boss melting weapon?
We need more diversity
I remember during a devstream before release, Hedge was pretty firm on saying no femgryns (sadly)
Ratlings too
GWS always ruins the fun
I have friends who’d love to play as femgryns
So if I reroll only one perk… should I keep elite damage or infested damage?
People are sleeping on dueling sword
I think most people run dueling sword rn 
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301819158411214848/1046893267272351794/image0.jpg?ex=654953d5&is=6536ded5&hm=a2f734c628967f4426ca67af0b45a5f7f5826d022e211164dfbba2604b469874& This was from a Kickstarter I can’t find anymore
voidstrike one shots crushers, surge needs 3
if you want crusher damage just take a voidstrike
As a fan concept
female ogryns tho fr fr
They are the best, but don’t @ me for ‘ogrynussy’ 
Why else would you be @ for

The knife is pretty good, chainsword (apply bleed), and the vraks mk3 with boss killing set up
Other than that, brain burst is good, mak soulblaze stacks can do work, spamming void strike is OK. a recon las with infernus can also do a lot
yeah that sounds kinda cursed
i wonder if people will still one shot crushers with voidstrike next patch
imagine they go through the trouble of nerfing it only to still have it one shot
Is the surge staff any good? Just got this from the emperor (praise be)
Strongly doubt it since damage nerf + carapace damage nerf
any good?
can be better but if you got nothing else
pretty good.
personally i'd change the perks to flak and your choice of maniac or cara
surge staff is great
obscurus is the worst force sword, you want a Deimos instead for single target damage, and a Illisi for horde clearing
Im used to voidstrike and its absolute bonkerness
not as strong as voidstrike ofc but still powerful, and easier to use
kinda lazy but fun
like how assail is
Surge is balanced, Void and Assail are not
yeah
wonder how much the voidstrike nerf will matter
i hope crusher hp getting buffed doesn't make surge staff breakpoints a lot worse against them.
I do not want to be surging 4 times per crusher
I fell in love with surg staff I think
is a deimos gonna be better than either of these for single target?
Well the voidstrike is getting nerfed decently hard, its a 20% damage nerf
Is surge good vs hordes?
better for big targets
I can't really test that in training
2-3 targets to get ccd
It's a single target staff
but only 1 actually takes damage
but its fun!
surge is more for close range specialist sniping
2-3 stagger if you get the smite branch tho
it is fun
ye I think it's the most fun staff rn
for when the game decides to spawn 8 flamers against you and you need to kill them all quickly
especially if you get like 2-3 people in a group using it
purg is fun just being a flame thrower
you all zapping everything insta dies
an additional 25% less carapace damage, and crushers significant hp buff
More reason to get a rending duel sword
Beginner tips for the psyker class?
use assail and watch people complain they're not killing anything
once you get used to peril managment try the staffs
Yeah I’ve got ogryn and zealot to 30 so I’ve been on both sides of that lol
practice staying between 80% and 100% peril at all times, to take advantage of all the buffs we get at high peril from talent tree and weapon blessings
Perks to avoid?
skills or weapon perks?
Skills but weapon perk recommendations are welcome too
all the blitz, abilities and keystones are good for psyker
there is no bad choice depending on what weapons you use
honestly it all works, and its pretty straight forward,
disrupt destiny is a little weird right now, so i wouldnt try that keystone first
other than that just do whatever
Excellent
it great if you get weakpoint kills often, since you get 2 stacks on weakpoint kills
They just need to fix the no highlight issue and it'll be good
I also love how flexible the skill tree is looking at first glance. Really looks like you can do whatever you want

ye you basically can
i think thats why pysker is so "op" right now is they are so flexible for all roles
jack of all, near master of all
I think some guy made a tank psyker the other day with all the toughness boost + regen and ran around with like 200 toughness or smth
My kind of guy
yeah then you get the block range blessing, and take the block costs peril talent
i think the only thing that psyker isn't really great at is boss dps
and you are immortal
Got a 250 toughness ogryn currently
imo optimal duo comp is psyker + anything that can deal good boss dps
krak nad vets
Brain Rupture lol
are ideal
Gunpsyker with scry is nasty on weakspot+hh/rashad limbsplitter
And bb exists
try timing how long it takes to kill a boss with brainburst
I need to try gunpsyker man
Through observation I’ve found that assail players really dominate until the hordes get really thick at high intensity heresy and damnation in general.
But I'm stuck trying to get a good trauma staff up
BB is more to keep high peril after gaining 4-5 stacks of warp damage via gun
Yea Distupt feels lackluster atm
then you gotta play more into smite or staffs
as someone who did the pennace with 100% damage with bb on a monstrocity, a lot of us are aware 😄
Never had to run a staff, hh is my magic
the other classes have it much easier against bosses
Magic of bullets
any zealot build, or ogryn with it's fire or bleed stacks, will destroy bosses faster solo than we ever could
I disagree on certain swords having infinite kite and dueling sword letting us just 1v1 dh with L cover
Nerfed

i dont think BB is near the strongest for bosses, but its like A tier for boss damage, krak nade and thammer
i can usually do about half the monst damage if im using BB
unless someone one shots it
good sustained dps to them
not insane burst
brain rupture is our weakest blitz, its too slow and doesnt do enough damage to be worth it
with empowered and ability spam its fine
ive done damnation maels with it
but i wouldnt take it into auric
but yeah its the weakest
id say its techincally more powerful than assail, but not better
as id take BB into higher diff than i would assail
where a voidstrike can replace assail
but then your voidstrike does about as much damage as BB does soo
feedback loop of voidstaff kinda op
mid charge release with damage would be perfect, and a little boost to max charge damage, even if it extends the time for max charge
charging up and being extra vulnerable but doing it to be able to one shot a mutant (without crit) would be nice
Voidstrike can do 3200 damage with no damage buffs and just a crit headshot which you can guarentee
implying current assail isn't useful in higher difficulty?
not as

Even that's wrong
still very strong of course
it'll fall off when they make like an 8th difficulty level
x to doubt
once assail gets shifted i think itll have more of its own role and ill like that
Is it just me or is the surge staff just...worse than the voidstrike?
much
Voidstrike is overtuned and needs a nerf, we all know this 😄
No AoE
you're just comparing to something thats op
People saying assail falls off in high difficulty are high themselves 
Ogryn with a stubber and PBF with the fire talent. Melts every monstrosity in one clip, even on damnation
very
Surge is balanced and void should be brought inline with it, same as purga staff should be brought up inline with it
They just dont want their precious assail nerfed
I Disagree. The damage is fine and it will out damage most weapons into bosses.
You should be using it like a scalpel, it's not your main offensive weapon. Use on a bulwark to open the gaurd, or a far away enemy like a sniper that you can't charge and line up a shot. Poke out of cover, lock a target and go back etc. It's very good
ok so what im saying is, assail is still good, but voidstrike does everything it does better, for now
Good thing you can have both 
Assail does 200-300 damage regularly for my psyker,according to specialist health bars, more than enough for most things not wearing armor
But that's what voidstrike is for
reject assail+vs, embrace dueling sword laspistol
i agree with you, but as it is right now, anything BR can do something else does it better, an assail can easily hit the long range targets faster and hit harder, Surge and Trauma can do the same to close range targets, void too
https://streamable.com/zjpqc5
this is in Damnation, assail can kill everything, no need to pull void out at all
just weapon swap to get the weapon blessing effects to buff assail
Why do you keep posting an obviously bugged interaction?
how much fps does potato mode give you?
that is @spice veldt who did this
you call it a bug, i see it as a interaction that has been in the game since launch, and is in the vermintide games as well
its been multiple years, this interaction is still around
Yeah, it's actually insane to suggest it falls off in any way in it's current form. Shards regenerate way too quickly for that.
That's just pure cope trying to hope fatshark devs get fooled by it and don't nerf it more 
They've fixed different versions of this bug. It's not supposed to carry over when you swap weapons 🤷♂️
I guess we'll see next couple patchs. Nothing is certain with fatshark
the devs know about this interaction, they havent touched it
Yeah, it does about as much damage as my ogryns gorg, pierces, auto aims and has Hella fast recharge you can just dump them into crowd and put down a good chunk including specialists
To be fair tho, I leveled my pstker with assail and its def.. a lot more noticeable malice and below
You can straight up delete hordes before they get into firing range of everyone else, and cross room pop groups of gunners with an aimed throw
it still does that on damnation
It's legit one of the easiest ways to get 800k+ damage right now. Go assail + void. Faceroll on keyboard for the entire game.
yeah but soon the hoards are 3x as big and the 3 targets a shard isnt enough anymore
anything that isnt carapace gets dumpstered, the only reason you can argue assail falls off is crusherblobs blocking shots
Hey guys, how does it work with the shop with these skins, must the original black version be unlocked to get this gold/green recolour in the shop? or is it available to all at level 30?
Yeah, theres a lot more left for everyone else on higher tiers
You can buy and use it
And gunners take more than one shot, so they're not complete incidental kills
Idk kinda ez horde clear
https://youtu.be/xW9ulWuBcbQ
even smites chains with empowered can almost got overwhelmed by numbers in auric
Still gives you double the damage of everyone on your team without ever having to put in effort.
Aim? Nope
Use brain? Nope
it recharges so fast it never matters how big the horde is anyways
That I won't argue, the homing nature of assail makes it easy to just dump into a direction with little forethought and have a huge impact
worth the melkbucks?
No
bloodthirsty is kinda rare if you want to unlock it for a meme build down the line
Depends on how many you have. You never know what a new patch is gonna change, so collecting tier 4s is nice.
Bloodthirsty on Illisi might be funny
Might do it for the blessing
i have it, with a soulfire on crit, its ok
Assailt can't hit the long range target faster. Assailt isn't picking out a sniper across the map or opening a bulwarks gaurd.
Brain rupter is extremely good when you use it at opportune moments, those moments are less obvious than assail.
It also has the added bonus of doing really solid boss damage, which is always good in a group.
Assail is much better in most situations, but BB conversely does things assail cannot do, and those things are also stuff your staff isn't going to accomplish either. Personally I think it lends the build to being more well rounded
"Let me light these poxwalkers that I oneshot on fire"
"Assailt isn't picking out a sniper across the map" That's literally what it does. The few times it doesn't reach, it's usually LOS for BR anyways.
so it doesnt work for fire spreading unless you dont one shot them
worf for warp nexus?
yes
which youre gonna do to all basic enemies
fully embrace the fire illisi memes and aim for 0% damage
I prefer shred for the super mid boss damage that makes me feel like I'm helping but I'm not actually helping.
But it lights them up which is cool 🙂
🙂
id rather have block range and rampage or something
Using illisi for bossing 
The meme fire for bossing
this thing melts demon hosts
Lemme just make a trauma staff for bossing too
Should be a lot less boss dps overall
Aren't those two perks additive and do basically nothing?
the ias isnt too noticable, but the damage can be like 5-15% weakspot damage
There are days when Melk brutally trolls me...
Only adds damage to the difference, so on most weapons they are ass, yes
Toughness regeneration curio perk is still good on psyker isnt it?
it increases how quickly u regen ur toughness by 90%
Psyker has a fuck ton of ways to regen toughness atm, so no.
its not about the ways to regen toughness
its how fast u can regen it
i need to regen it fast enough
That only applies to coherency lmao
that i can tank gunfire for eternity
toughness regen speed on curios still isn't good
toughness regen from coherency is delayed by damage
oh fck me
i understand now
Toughness regen on curios only affects toughness regen from coherency
there is only one use for that
and that is for
Yeah, the 90% makes it faster, but it still won't let you "tank" lmao
Still better options in my opinion.
and u need to regen ur toughness faster
veteran coherency build is probably the only place it might be better than other options.
anybody else experience an issue where you're occasionally not able to use your shield ability while the dueling sword is out? idk if it only happens with the dueling sword, but every now and then no matter how many times I press F the ability won't come out
regen speed on curios was good for like one month.... almost 8 months ago
and was instantly nerfed
why the fuck are curios not shared across characters though
they were shared in vermintide 2
this is just stupid
Toughness Regen doesn't help when you're dead.
Stay with the team
Also pox bursters dealing no corruption to u while ur downed is also a gimmicky mechanic
Nah, zealots should be soloing, for death or glory. Add some spice to the game.
No lol. They either get hit by a disabler, or the team wipes because they did and no one could get them up in time
whats lightning staffs niche supposed to be
Right... so here's a question for you, would the zealot have actually been useful if he stayed with the team?
like whats it supposed to contribute
the key is to not save them lmao
It doesn't have one right now
Either they are a goat or are about to get tied up like a goat, fun either way.
You call that soloing, I call that solo clutching. We are not the same.
You have to win to clutch
Ending the run because even Darktide can't hold your attention span isn't "clutching"
just leave it to the gunker to carry you, its fine
That's not really me lmao
do the basica autogun (no headhunter) have a boss killing option? How does it compare against Vrak 3?
Tbh, I am usually the one with the highest coherency score, on all my characters. But 90% of my clutches are ended because of one thing. A fucking unpushable dog
I mean, when I play ogryn and we've got a dive happy zealot i spend a lot of time watching the flank for disablers
The iag mk1?
it kill elites very fast. Kinda like a disabler i guess.
I'd rather have a body distracting the horde in an entire direction than two rooms away playing hero by himself
all niches have been consumed by the voidstrike. ecosystem in shambles
different for me. 100% of my clutch ended from a mutant charging me into a corner repeatedly (so it start it charging animation as soon as i got thrown again and caught me in a loop until a flamer burn me to death).
Ah yeah, I know that feeling.
i think if i got a better computer i will be a better darktide player
atm my lod is set so low that if a sniper is too far away i am just done
Lower your settings like arcotash
have you tried assail secondary? right now its equal damage to primary, but it targets just like BB does, and if you swap to a weapon after throwing it, the damage will kill anything thats not heavily armoured, its way faster than doing a brain rupture
do you have a 2060 or better graphics card? if so run DLSS
Yup I have, Assail is good, and really good in certain situations. BB does what assail cannot. I have a void strike and I run the shield, what assail can take out I can also just blap blap with the Kamehameha
i got assail with a scry setup and hmm, even with 50 less damage it will still kill elite by the dozen and sniper and whatever
idk what auric mission i got in but it spawn sniper by the dozen and watching the kill count is so satisfying
the only thing BR does that assail can not, is 1tap dogs
Can you assail a sniper across the map?
Srsly?
aiming makes the projectile go weirdly quick
i still say, BB still better at it
so ye
Man I haven't connected when I tried lol
with just one, i prefer BB
its definitely possible but bb ease of use is just there man
BB is just too long if you got multiple sniper that need to go, RIGHT NOW
smite is great for recovery, but people are not used to it so they dont make use of the opennings to rez or run
Oh BB also has the 10% chance on hit to proc which I love
nothing is going to move in a huge zone while it is up
i think that one is a trap
The other huge advantage of BB is you can get the CDR aura
it activate randomly, not guarantee on elites
It's totally worth the skill point
and it got like 15s cool down that can't be bypassed or reduced in anyway
I find it procs a lot when I need it
back when it used to give a warp charge 😔
The 5% on spelite kills ability is only accessible through rupture and smite
And that means you get more shields, and help the team by getting their cool downs up faster, which is really really good
yes, that still good, true
probably what i miss the most, more than losing BB lol
which is why I HIGHLY DISAGREE with how they buff assail
Yeah it was a big motivator for me to go back to the good ol Brain burst
the aimed shot should not deal more damage with how like
fucking busted it can be on BB turf
BB also procs true shot
Which is a nice touch
BB should get crit
It counts as a weak spot hit
the aimed shot have a 1.9 weak spot multipier and can deal crit for even more finesses
It has a 10% chance to double proc every 15 seconds 😏
awful talent
it actually counts as 2, one when it does that mini stagger at 2 seconds, and again when it does the brain pop
"I'll throw 30% more assail charges"
"I'll do 92 DPS in best case scenario but most likely overkill a groaner by 1200 damage"
I find in game it procs a lot on stuff I need it to proc on
confirmation bias
Naw, most chaff dies in a single hit anyways
however you look at it it's a near negligible damage boost
Can we petition for a ptsd therapy chat for those who've played with pugs?
JFC yes
Like bro, who is the zealot's first thought to dealing with a pox thrower, WAKE THE DAEMONHOST!?!?!?!
What about for those of us who solely play with pugs? 😛
Every time I get a fresh level 30 in an auric today they have been absolute trash and also Xbox players
We need it the most
You can play with not pugs?
how do you even know they are fresh?
I mostly soloQ and maelstrom has been getting filled with people needing the most intense of carries
True level mod
that not a good indicator
Holy, I totally space on the fact that' there's cross play now. No wonder I'm seeing so many new players.
Sure it is
Well you're an exception
Well, if you did you shouldn't be dogshit
congratulations.
hmm, i doubt that too
since if you play 1k hour on orgyn but only orgyn
and switched to a new psyker
then yeah it going to be low
nah, more than likely they are still new and havent learnt what they can get away with
Yeah, seems like half the people in auric are Xbox players, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The problem is they are not capable of performing at that difficulty
Some people appear to be running some sort of mod that tracks "prestige", basically how many times over the player has reached 30
do xbox player only match with xbox?
No
You can tell by the player ID after the match
They have number strings mixed in
yep, its a good indicator on what they are able to achieve
i don't really pay attention to other auric player, if we lose i just chock it up to bad luck and all
So, I can do fine for a lvl 80
i haven't seen any ergregious example
I'm just mad when they walk into daemonhosts as if the ominous green light and chanting isn't obvious
But when I see a lvl 32, In a maelstrom lobby, I just leave now
since you can't really carry for auric
they going to be filtered out after one or two match anyway
Oh, me and another psyker carried HARD today
You underestimate the stubborness of stupid people
I haven't even touched Auric yet. Still wrapping my head around the patch changes after 3 months off. Is it just Hi5 Damnation+ all-day, all the time?
It's harder than hi5 auric
yes
hi5 damnation and heresy
with additional modifers
heresy is for when people jsut want to chill out
Maestro makes a hi5STG feel like vanilla damnation
Like waves of muties and dogs at the same time
New players are now entering damn aurics. They are becoming very rough. I feel like being extremely toxic but refrain most of the time
At this point I am telling people they aren't ready for auric
mostly I see people never checking behind them
that and being unable to prioratize targets
I had someone drop a health pack right in front of the medical before the assassination fight
Ooooh, spicy. And here I was glad I was settling into Damnation before my vacation and they go ahead and go, "BAM! Damnation ++++++!"
Same guy died 6 times in the way there
That is what I do if I can’t clutch or, like today, all 3 of them go down in the first min
auric can also have double modifiers. like ventilation purge (fog) + sniper gauntlet for example
Imagine playing on a controller 
I do
It's fine

lights out and sniper guantlet 😄
Can you play trauma staff with controller?
The controller isn't the problem
I absolutely hated it when I tried it during the beta, never went back
Oof, I never thought about that. Sounds miserable
Or anything pov honestly
Yeah, trauma may really need the m/kb
They changed it a bit. You can actually use it without exploding yourself right away.
Good trauma play involves lots of flicking
I've seen people do great with it
Flicking?
How? I thought youre only getting a stack from the stunning animation which is about halfway
i just hate looking up to place the target i want
Flick of the wrist bro.
Ya. Like you would an awp/op shot in cs/valorant
What do you guys think comparing these two base modifier stats?*
Trigonometry shit.
slip n slide
No you need to flick to hit stuff far away.
Anyways, I soloQ Aurics and Maelstrom, using a controller.
Controllers aren't the problem, it's a lack of game sense and skill in general
Ya, but you get muscle memory for its range and how it works. You can destroy stuff quickly with it
You can increase its range by flicking?
hehe laspistol go pew pew pew pew pew
he's just saying you can extend the range normally by looking up. But this can be greatly sped up by simply flicking upwards
how do you see this?
Sort of yeah.
tis the scoreboard mod
I assume they run blazing trauma?
Scoreboard mod
not possible on controller, instead they will be stuck slowly looking upwards and then slowly looking back down
i never get tired of ninja gun crit wizard
That's like the smallest issue I see with controller
This.
It’s the best trauma build. Hard to reach/master though
there are a million, but he was just stating one of them
You mean you guys don't fling your mouse around everytime you swing in melee to look behind you?
Esp with heavies
Or in between illisi specials
I fling just to feel like I am cleaving more like I would in chivalry. Don’t think that is how it works though
No wtf why do I want motion sickness.
Because silent specials exist 
Imo, it's not worth sweating that hard to deal 30 damage to 3 more poxwalkers
It's not sweating it's just using a mouse
i just trust the sounds at this point
Yeah, use your ears
with this last patch that's a mistake
sound is fucked rn
there is a rythm to combat that you pick up after while
No, i mean sounds literally aren't playing now sometimes
Flak or maniac and Carapace
That's likely how it works to properly sync the visual with the animation. Swinging the mouse to increase cleave is a regular thing in Overwatch with Reinhardt
what are the desired high %s for trauma force?
It's kinda hard to recommend, you have to bring it to the meatgrinder to test for breakpoints
good question, i use laspistol not revolver cause i hate how revolver wastes 3/4 of my scrier time XP
I had one on vet with can one shot any special (except mutant) with abit of surgical and on crit
I think you need maniac if you want any hope of 1shotting a flamer
Everything but warp res. Then dmg or maybe quell speed. Charge rate and blast are most important
Also wouldn't put much effort into revolver breakpoints right before patch 14 comes out
thank u
True that also
But that mainly affects maulers/ragers who you can't 1shot anyway
So you can try to look for flamer/trapper one shot and maybe gunner one shot
mmmfh
Hnnngh
time for sustained fire 
Get ready for hadron… to ruin it
1 downside to the Truama is all 5 stats are important for it
Depends on your specific setup. Test what you have in to psykhanium. See if you are just shy of a breakpoint on an elite or special.
For me, I was just shy of one shotting a dreg gunner with a crit headshot. So, I put unarmored on mine.
not too horrible!!
welp guess you swap groaners for flak/maniac/carpace and then terfying barrage for Blazing
yeP
I have a 76 dmg, 67 dmg, and 59 dmg blaze trauma. I cannot tell the difference at all haha. It is why I have just ended using the 59 cause it is 80 on everything else
pretty goddamn good
tbh the damage is probably the dump stat if you use the blazing blessing, and charge rate if you are using the rend blessings
You kinda need chrit chance on blaze trauma. I’d swap elite to crit chance and then barrage to blaze
Nexus plus the 5% on the tree is all you really need, the 5% aura is nice too
But, those perks are meh anyways
if you do RMB -> LMB, it does the stunning thing slightly after you press LMB
Is it? I have still been doing crit chance and pygex’s updated guide still backs that up
dont get me wrong, is nice to have, but the perks on a weapon effect soulblaze
In that case if I was him flak
groaners and poxwalkers are the trash mobs, you already 1 tap them
My flame build trivializes auric 5 pugs. Feels gewd.
change that perk
hmmn. what's the best way to farm or grind for specific blessings so you can have hadron put those on the actually good weapons?
Melk shop every day, and hadron white to orange weapons
White to orange? not white to blue?
more likely to get rarer blessings when going from purple to orange
Ah
Hmm gonna try that later
I only use right click to precharge vs specials so i never notice this
Well... I probably shouldn't have salvaged all those blues...
Until that crusher patrol comes up to you and says hi 
Other people handle those or I kite them around. Crits off the staff are pretty consistent and nice.
its alright, it only applies to the regen while in coherency with allies
Yea but the guide listed it as S tier perk on curio and I am a little 
I've been told coherency regen also doesn't work when you're in melee?
It still works
Play what works for you. I myself do run toughness regen.
But its on a timer that reset everytime you get hit so maybe
But the guide recommended 1 stamina curio and I don't run it.
the guide even says why its important
Yea but you just take your staff out and kill something
Was that written before 10-4?
Or even better illisi charge
Feels like toughness is basically infinite post patch with half the staves
Don't blindly trust any guides ever.
Or assail some fools
I prefer block efficiency. Don't need toughness regen if they can't get through your peril.
Pygex wrote this, no?
I don't run what the ogryn guide recommends and I do more than fine on ogryn too.
Ogrynomicon is a really good resource for when learning
and the guide thats been pinned here is the same
The weapon section is really good because that's mostly math
what in the emperors name
melk good?????
But builds are more expression and feeling
Melk good
Thats a pretty decent body with 2/4 slots
Even with weapons. It depends on how you play. Pyrex play deimos with trauma but I prefer illisi.
it might end up being slightly better than the one my vet has/uses
lemme find the screenshot of it
For claw idk if I want to keep flak on mine
i dont think any of these are changed though
Wow, a full jackpot weapon
Played round in which I was getting the far away snipers with surge staff LMB. It was pain.
Just started to dip my toes into crafting after i hit lvl 30 on psyker, immediately got Lvl4 Warp Flurry
Which guide is that?
psyker athenum
the one you have pinned, it has been updated
I mean if you wanna ask I'd just ping pygex
dunno if I agree with toughness regen tbh but ik some people say its really stronk
if you stack enough of it
but
it lowers the time between being hit and starting the toughness regen
so you start regen sooner
i would stack it on vet because of iron will
Do you mean void one shotting snipers? Yes it can.
If you mean do snipers one shot bubble shield, it seems like either lag or inconsistencies on whether a sniper sot gets through or not. A sniper is not supposed to one shot bubble shield.
i mean the former, but yea shield and snipers kind of weird
Oh gotcha. Yeah, from far off with a body shot from a full void charge should take care of sniper.
so there's a couple things going on with the bubbleshield
1 is the fx is still up for like a second after it expires
2 is that snipers tend to only even try shooting at you if you're near the outer edges of it. it'll block them but they don't even try unless you're riiiight there at the edge
:D
wish i could get a single good trauma
:(
im blessed to get crazy voidstrikes and terrible rolls on every other staff it seems
invest a couple hundred thousand into the brunts armory 💪
Same
I've got decent staffs for all the other 3
but trauma's being a bitch
Also do note that the animations for shields rn are pretty wonky
they have this like "failing" animation but depending on how much damage it takes it can be broken before the animation finishes or wte
best I've gotten lmao, but pretty much bricked with not great perks
so you will start getting swiss cheese'd even while visually the shield looks like its still existing
someone correct me if I'm wrong tho I don't use shield alot
I'm the classic "shout and everything falls over" type of psyker
Yee. I remember this talking about this before on shields. Good to have again tho.
ye it's most noticeable on sniper shots for me
The shield is up but it goes through and hits
Something that gets me is the shield going through grated or slotted flooring like trauma staff.
yup.
I was shocked pikachu face.
But not all floors are like that. Same for trauma again. 🙃
yea grated floor is the worst
toss open stairs in the worst pile too
The shields have a bug where they are destroyed but the visual is not removed
They claimed to address it next patch
anyone know how to get this border
Ive got a build in mind based on warpflame, but its probably just called the default left path for psyker
I just wish i could get the passive of "killing with a non warp attack buffs warp attacks"
It's some kind of anniversary Vermintide-related frame
yeah apparently u get it from warhammer+
whatever that is
probably deluxe edition
no?
and i didnt get that border
unless theres another version around that im not aware of
"Lol." said the servitor. "Lmao."
free auric mael
Wtf.. no ammo?
smite trivializes that
As a Psyker, that sounds like a dream run lol
I get to l;augh at all the vets running out of ammo 😛
Is Transfer peril any good? Cause I have no idea
no ammo? staff time :)
That actually sounds like fun. It basically turns into Vermintide.
Right? If only we had Siennas staff variety to go with the VT vibe lol
theres a setup for flurry/transfer peril
quelling peril on a headshot is cool
but its weaker than the surge/nexus one
Whats the Peril % i need to be at to maintain the 20% crit chance
80% or higher
you get a stack every 20/40/60/80% peril; each stack gives 5% crit chance
I just accept whatever bonus i get and stay where i can safely manage to not explode, but i imagine that blessing and people trying to keep it at max all the time is the reason why ive been seeing so many random psyker explosions while levelling my Vet lol
so is the gameplay for Voidstrike just charge/expunge to keep the 80% peril or?
the gameplay for voidstrike is
- throw big magic ball at thing you don’t like
- don’t explode
GAMING
Definitely don't explode while running to the next area with no enemies because you're compelled to hit the button to watch the magics. Definitely don't do that.
