#

When I left click, that charge resets a lot

brave fiber
#

smite can cc hordes for a long time

frigid sparrow
#

It's really clunky

royal falcon
#

smite has more uptime and zaps more targets at the cost of poor damage

unborn flicker
velvet spear
#

interesting, thanks

#

is anyone running both smite and lightning staff? or have they introduced a redundancy

fierce crest
#

surge staff is more for damage

#

theyre fine

#

bit of anti synergy, yes

floral harness
#

Need some help with my build. I'm doing a lightning one

unborn flicker
#

Bro so many juicy powers

#

🥴

fierce crest
potent echo
#

What, me? Or someone else hmmgryn

fierce crest
#

they should also give it gibbing like surge staff iplease

fierce crest
#

first try

stable silo
#

actually kinetic flayer was pretty clutch for gunker

#

take that assault pistol pepper a crusher with 10 bullets in 2 seconds and insta proc BB tossing fire all around it and on it

#

the trick was to initially target the big boi then spray down the horde

fierce crest
#

oneshots every common lets goooo

spice veldt
#

hmm what combos can I do now that the force sword push-attacks have a 10m range

#

man melee psyker with illisi is back on the table for me

stable silo
#

wait they buffed push range ?

#

i thought it was just dmg and att speed to amke up for no more infi dodge

spice veldt
stable silo
#

ohshi!! maybe i pre emptivly dropped all my ordos on making a good mk 4 duel

humble bolt
#

i got the best psyker drip

spice veldt
#

although I always run assail, having some built-in reactive stagger built into force swords is going to be real fun

potent echo
#

Did they add new cosmetics?

spice veldt
#

not a fan of the animation blocking your sight, but it is what it is

spice veldt
#

the hand still blocks the center of your screen

#

i wanna see a trapper get knocked onto their fuckin asses

#

those motherfuckers

potent echo
#

Yoo

spice veldt
#

get out, zealot main

potent echo
#

This was actually one of the best parts of FS

#

Now it's even better

idle bay
unborn flicker
#

Bro, I want to be able to use that force sword push to push grenades and shit back

lunar hollow
stable silo
#

oh wow when did they revert the 10%-5% elite dmg aura nerf

unborn flicker
#

That would be bad ass

lunar hollow
potent echo
#

When you got 4 ragers coming you can control them with the push, now you can do it from up to 10m wtf

unborn flicker
#

I’m pretty happy with that

stable silo
#

thats hot like soulburn hot

unborn flicker
#

But I want more

stable silo
#

they stagger ragers now?

potent echo
#

They always staggered ragers

stable silo
#

tell that to my face

potent echo
#

Or rather push them on their ass

stable silo
#

cause it got axed

potent echo
#

Push attack* not push

unborn flicker
#

Yeah, I got to say the special attack on staffs is not really all that

potent echo
#

Does it stagger ragers at least KEKW_ogryn

unborn flicker
#

Maybe if it like, applied something similar to the staffs power type to the enemy you whack it with

#

So, like whacking an enemy with the special attack of a purge, staff sets them on fire

potent echo
#

I think it would be better if it quelled 20 peril per hit

idle bay
#

They removed relible stun-lock from shovel special for Ogryns... and added it to the SLAP from the clubs....

potent echo
#

Although shovel is already so much better than clubs

#

So maybe it's for balance

idle bay
#

Now Ogryns can bitch-slap Plagueogryns and DH and Chaos spawns into submission

#

Good buy my Poopscooper 40k the best shovel ever sigh

pine nova
#

why do I find shit like this on psyker instead of on my zealot 😭

potent echo
#

Don't despair yet, maybe it's bricked KEKW_ogryn

pine nova
#

that is what I will tell myself

stable silo
#

99% chance of brickage

#

but now u must go all the way to taunt the gods

pine nova
#

no plasteel

chrome patrol
#

theres a surge bug now?

#

lol

#

does anyone has a video to share?

potent echo
#

Take EP and surge staff and watch everything die

olive ember
#

@digital narwhal this you?

digital narwhal
#

Imposter

digital narwhal
#

Plus, I have a full beard

stable silo
#

hes you but cooler cause hes bald

digital narwhal
#

Not a soul patch

digital narwhal
#

Smh

stable silo
#

ya well my ogryn has the best back story

#

his name is Ogrin because every just said hey Ogryn come here or Ogryn move that box so he just assumes his name is Ogrin

spice veldt
#

duelling sword with rampage up can cleave 3 dreg bruisers now

#

very nice

digital narwhal
#

My Ogryn:
Ate some bad nosh.
Got tummy ache.
Mistaken as Nurgle Cultist.
Now works for In-kwee-zish-un.

spice veldt
#

not scab bruisers but you win some and you lose some

digital narwhal
stable silo
#

also i picked that giant underbite grin ugly asf grin face so it works

#

if only i wasnt so in love with psyker id play him more poor bastard

shy prairie
#

can confirm surge with the funny thing is the ultimate power fantasy

analog agate
#

This is what the surge can do atm… its kinda good

acoustic osprey
#

las pistol psyker?

#

scrier gaze?

strong gulch
#

yee.

stable silo
#

u guys think quick shards is worth taking?

#

id prob have to drop either peril combust or malf momentum i dont really wana drop 50% aura or truestrike

olive ember
#

eh

past helm
#

i rolled myself a pretty solid surge staff, what goes well with it nowadays?

olive ember
#

do you value getting shards back every 1.4s instead of every 2s

past helm
#

havent tried it since before new trees

olive ember
#

if you abuse the bug surge is pretty good

#

otherwise

#

meh

past helm
#

what bug

olive ember
#

if you take empowered psionics it gets the +125% damage on rmb

past helm
#

i was a voislave lmao

#

lmao tight

olive ember
#

if you take smite it gets the +1 target and +10% damage on targets hit

#

lol

#

plasma is pretty good rn

lethal lagoon
#

Probably worth using the surge bug at least once. Be the Unlimited Power meme.

#

After that, don't ruin other people's gameplay experience lmao

fresh reef
#

It's so weird how the steam forums have the most consistently braindead takes

lethal lagoon
#

Imagine the average steam forum user as a rabid right or left-wing person, and everything makes sense. They have some wild dicussions go down in there.

south jay
#

What are good blessing for the Deimos MkIV?

lethal plover
#

surge will be fixed later right?

cedar zenith
#

5-8 business weeks

idle bay
#

Meanwhile - let's have fun with Surge

undone carbon
#

just got shoved through the floor by a spawn and fell to the bottom of the map

#

yippee

spice veldt
#

the 50 damage nerf really was absolutely inconsequential

#

at least we get a cool purple effect for crits

old aurora
#

so... am I tripping or is the staff melee like kinda not ass anymore?

#

as in, its a lot faster now

lethal plover
#

just read the changelog. a lot of lines for that

feral knoll
#

Is taking the Soulblaze add on for Vent Shriek better if I take all the other Soulblaze perks?

north cradle
#

Hol up, I get up to 15% bonus Warp Damage on crits, and I get two or more crits on an Assail needle with True Aim? I'm abusing the hell out of this

primal radish
#

soulblaze with shriek is like almost always mandatory for the value

feral knoll
#

I figured you probably get more out of it Vs the damage from the other modifier

olive ember
cedar zenith
#

Worse

idle bay
#

And there are official fatshark forums. Don't know where to put them on that scale

#

At least bug report sections is useful 🙂

lethal plover
#

do people charge smite (right click) or uncharged smite ? Feels like charging is so quick

cedar zenith
#

You’re inting if you aren’t charging it

fresh reef
lethal lagoon
#

I geniunely don't get what the left click on smite is for

lethal plover
#

it used to rule the world

olive ember
#

kekw

paper loom
#

I've noticed gun psyker much better since the patch, what has changed that improves it? I use scryers with it

restive stone
#

Asails not being as spamable

#

Braced autogun and asails fill the same role imp

fringe sapphire
#

Nothing changed about Assail's spammyness tho, no?

feral knoll
#

Deimos or Chainsword?

unique mist
#

can someone check if Wildfire is actually working at all?

near wyvern
near wyvern
regal jasper
near wyvern
#

lmao there is a new bug for wildfire

#

the effect is applied after death animation not upon death

unique mist
feral knoll
#

So it’s basically later than it should be?

near wyvern
#

with all the old bugs still in place

acoustic spade
#

I feel like I need to make a fifth character thats a second psyker

unique mist
#

also i'm seeing that Wildfire takes the current number of soulblaze stacks and reduces it by 1 when spreading soulblaze

acoustic spade
#

so I get to play more Psyker per week after finishing my main psyker's contracts

unique mist
#

which is a big bummer and not how i thought it would work

near wyvern
#

plus you would have to farm a second set of gear which takes way too much time because crafting is * * * *

acoustic spade
#

And I do want to gear up all 4 characters

unique mist
#

or it looks like wildfire has soulblaze stacks falloff? i am so confused ngl

acoustic spade
unique mist
#

well i'm on console so i'm going off psykanium damage numbers

near wyvern
#

melk is just this random 'nice, I'll grab it'

unique mist
#

but i kill an enemy with 6 soulblaze stacks taking about 40 damage per tick, and the nearest enemy takes 6 damage per tick from the soulblaze spread. then the enemy next to that one takes only 2 damage per tick

#

i kill the guy taking 6 damage per tick and when that one spreads, the affected enemies only take 2 damage per tick

acoustic spade
#

I dont have enough Plasteel to upgrade all of the curios I want to orange rn so I see Melk as the primary way to find the IV blessings

wheat quartz
#

hey siblings, is the "melee critical chance" bit of the surge staff's critical bonus stat mislabeled?

acoustic spade
#

especially since I am not a big fan of just grinding plasteel 200 units per mission

wheat quartz
#

lightning, naturally, cannot melee

unique mist
#

no it is referring to the bonk (joking)

burnt island
#

That feeling when you, the brain bursting+void staff psyker, beats an assail+surge psyker at kills and damage in all areas. :/

solar sand
#

any reason to?

acoustic spade
#

its faster at dealing damage in hordes than Assail

#

and thats good

burnt island
#

I was chasing the brainburst 4 elites in 12 seconds penance too. Wth.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since I saw update dropped its damage a tad.

acoustic spade
#

Also if he was running Surge staff

#

that Surge staff isnt the best at dealing damage in hordes

solar sand
#

well its kinda busted now

burnt island
#

I assume he had it for the elites, but the guy was using assail like a primary weapon.

solar sand
#

i near solod and auric 5 earlier using the bug

acoustic spade
burnt island
#

Lol don't tell me the infinite smite bug still works.

near wyvern
burnt island
#

I mean, I can't judge him, but I at least try to use my laspistol anytime outside of horde just to keep the game fun for the other 3.

near wyvern
#

burn a guy for 6 stacks, spawn 3 targerts, kill 6 stack guy

  • two targets will get 1 stacks, one will get 2 stacks

kill the target with 2 stacks

  • the other two guys will get one stack each
solar sand
#

but it is a smite bug

#

if you equip empowering

#

it applies to the surge staff smite

#

and doesnt consume the stacks

#

so it does insane damage

#

and chains more

burnt island
#

Yikes so it sounds like there was one far worse.

acoustic spade
#

isnt that sorta old

burnt island
#

First I've heard of it since i'm not a psyker main

acoustic spade
#

the Smite talents affecting Surge staff was in the last patch as well

past brook
#

no, it's new with patch 14

#

or rather

#

it's more obvious

acoustic spade
solar sand
#

before this applied

acoustic spade
#

with the EP damage boost being a lot higher

solar sand
#

NOW this applies

#

or did it before?

unique mist
solar sand
#

i feel like someone woulda mentioned that

acoustic spade
unique mist
#

I thought that meant that all targets will get the same number of stacks

near wyvern
lethal lagoon
#

I love how the bug reveals smite is really just copy and pasted surge.

near wyvern
#

the game prioritizes giving out the stacks to as many egligible targets as there are

lethal lagoon
#

I'd love to see how they coded it.

acoustic spade
#

the Left-Click of smite could use some love

onyx sentinel
#

poxwalker -> maniac damage, barrage -> warp flurry?

#

don't feel like rolling another one

acoustic spade
#

I'd probably just change both perks of that one myself but 🤷‍♂️

kind jay
#

left click smite should drop a bolt from zeus himself

acoustic spade
#

now it just feels like a weird way to increase peril

lethal lagoon
#

Left click smite is useless, so might as well make it something cool like a Ogryn punch, but psyker version.

potent blade
#

does ranged crit chance on a melee weapon apply when you are not wearing it?

hoary badge
#

No

onyx sentinel
#

just tested and your aoe stagger is literally already bigger than the rmb indicator

near wyvern
#

on many things

#

purgatus with enough cloud radius also supresses enemies behind you

near wyvern

#

haven't found a single blazing spirit on 20 rolls lmao

people are sleeping on vraks 9

burnt island
#

I like to play gun psyker. Any reason for me to go down the disrupt destiny tree instead of just obtaining warp charges?

lethal lagoon
#

If you disrupt destiny enough, the game master will start spawning massive amounts of disablers. But if you survive you get a bonus reward at the end for overcoming a changed destiny.

burnt island
#

Lol if that were true, I'd just be running it endlessly to annoy the others.

cobalt bone
#

Is the right keystone worth using ever over the left one ?

burnt island
#

I use the left just for that 24% base damage boost at 6 warp charges for 25s before losing 1, but upgrading the right one will give you 30% at max precision stack for 15s before losing 1

cobalt bone
#

You loose all stacks tho

burnt island
#

After 15s? I gotta test this.

cobalt bone
#

Thats why i increased it to 30s

#

Unless They buffed it this Patch

burnt island
#

Can't really test it myself in meat grinder unfortunately since it doesn't really mark targets in there.

cobalt bone
#

I can check my clip later its patch 13 tho

#

Or next game session ig

spice veldt
#

you go down disrupt destiny if you don't have enough points to invest into warp siphon

spice veldt
cobalt bone
#

Warp siphon is generally better than disrupt destiny?

whole oxide
#

disrupt destiny honestly just needs to be reworked, it actively makes you play worse

native plover
#

i think Smite is fine now. Used it a bunch yesterday with Surge. Had no problems really. Worked pretty well with things that vent perils with warp kills

cobalt bone
#

I realized that ya

#

Wish it worked with Highlighting enemies or sth

austere wadi
#

Is the surge staff bug found out yet?

native plover
#

Surge is bugged?

spice veldt
#

i like it as a crack addict keystone

austere wadi
#

Yeah, its getting smite's Empowered Psionic buff on when you got a stack for it. It gives it 125% bonus damage and it chains to 3 targets instead of 2

spice veldt
#

and also because i don't have enough points to go down warp siphon and I don't care for Puppet Master and Solidity

harsh urchin
#

so arco I'm trying out the bug abusing surge build that does double damage

spice veldt
#

mhm

harsh urchin
#

and it feels like how surge should feel

#

LOL

spice veldt
#

:pensive:

harsh urchin
#

like it doesnt even feel THAT overpowered

#

all of ogryn and zealots shit

#

feels that strong

austere wadi
#

Its a lil too strong lol, when you can 2 pop every elite in the game, except for ogryn which takes 3, its a bit too powerful

carmine agate
#

Im just glad i can 1 shot doggies

spice veldt
#

if it's two-popping then that doesn't sound so bad

#

the mk4 can do it a little faster except your limited to melee

#

so it is what it is

austere wadi
#

granted, without the bug, surge staff kinda feels like ass and takes 4-5 charges to kill a mauler

carmine agate
austere wadi
#

Maybe fix the bug and give it a middle-ground buff?\

spice veldt
#

should've made surge a quake lightning gun

native plover
harsh urchin
#

you have to surge surge surge, quell, surge surge

#

and bam

#

maybe something is dead

still hearth
#

Good morning

#

Surge bad. Surge with Emp actually keeps up in DPS

#

Imagine

carmine agate
#

I just like shooting lightning sadge

still hearth
#

Just double the damage of the single target staff

austere wadi
#

Someone in hear earlier, few days ago, was trying to convince people of how good surge is
I guess he was just bug abusing before people realized there was a bug lol

carmine agate
#

There was no bug b4 ytd update

native plover
#

Surge not bad. Surge funny. Surge go lightning!

carmine agate
#

I used surge alot b4 the patch too..

native plover
#

Even if considered bad by all, i will still use!

austere wadi
#

well before it was only a 50% increase

still hearth
#

Go ahead

spice veldt
#

it was just that no one noticed it right?

austere wadi
#

so might not have been as noticable

spice veldt
#

it was only a +30% increase in damage

still hearth
#

Just don't tell people it's good

austere wadi
#

30%

carmine agate
#

Ye didnt hit many thresholds i guess

frigid sparrow
#

Surge needs +1 chain + damage buff

still hearth
#

And you didn't run Emp with it

native plover
#

You can't stop me

frigid sparrow
#

Just make it default man

still hearth
kind jay
#

if EP affected surge prepatch no one would have noticed because they were using warp charges anyways

#

same damage

carmine agate
#

Well at least it ccs 1 more for abit

still hearth
#

Ye

austere wadi
#

If they fix the bug but make it chain to 3 targets to deal full damage to all 3, I'd be happy with that tbh

carmine agate
#

Full dmge to 3..

still hearth
#

The chain even with Emp doesn't kill shooters or poxwalkers

carmine agate
still hearth
#

Keep it single target

#

Holy shit

#

Just double the damage

austere wadi
carmine agate
#

Yeh single target is stonks enough

spice veldt
#

people really like their aim assist weapons being strong

carmine agate
#

Also

#

Im loving the new staff bonk

austere wadi
#

is it even useful?

carmine agate
#

Make the rager just fall on the floor with headshot

still hearth
#

Yeah but skill isn't rewarded in this game

spice veldt
#

fatshark needs to add a precision force staff with better raw DPS so that I can tell people to go use it

still hearth
#

So might as well

cobalt bone
#

New staff?

carmine agate
#

True i might as well just stab w mk4

spice veldt
#

such a mechanically dead class god damn

carmine agate
carmine agate
#

But bonking with a staff is funny

spice veldt
#

oh well, more time for my brain to be off

spice veldt
still hearth
#

Hahaha

spice veldt
#

therefore purg better

austere wadi
#

Play gunker if you wanna boast about "skill"

carmine agate
#

If they fix this bug

still hearth
#

Vraks 7 now strong

spice veldt
carmine agate
#

I probably go back to trauma purg

austere wadi
#

gun psyker is really fun, more fun than surge spam imo

spice veldt
#

i just want precision options that aren't guns

austere wadi
#

just a bit harder since dealing with bulwarks and gunner spam is rough

cobalt bone
#

Im liking revolver psyker much

solar sand
#

my last 3 emps rewards

carmine agate
#

Gun psyker

cobalt bone
#

But im only playing on heresy

still hearth
#

@spice veldt they'll add one and it'll do half the damage of the AoE staves

carmine agate
#

Imma go play plasma gun vet blobkittyheh

#

Feels like gun psyker

cobalt bone
#

Cant talk much for auric

carmine agate
#

So i can explode as usual

still hearth
#

Auric revolver still good

#

Too good even

austere wadi
#

rev build is super satisfying

carmine agate
#

Im still making a good illisi deadcat

#

My horde clear is absolutely rip

cobalt bone
#

Yee super satisfying

still hearth
#

Lemme just oneshot five gunners rq

carmine agate
#

With mk4 and surge

potent echo
#

revolver was already strong

#

now its whatthefuck_heresy

austere wadi
#

really love just going loads of crit speed build. Spamming melee against a horde and the gunner spam misses all their attacks cause you auto dodge

cobalt bone
#

Deals decently with bulwarks and such

austere wadi
#

las pistol is pretty more effective tbh, but rev is just too satisfying

bleak tulip
#

it is the year 2023, every class uses revolver

cobalt bone
#

Bb deals with the rest

potent echo
#

ogryn revolver when

austere wadi
potent echo
#

the only thing revolving is the enemy spawns

bleak tulip
#

though I low key refuse to use it on anything but zealot

native plover
potent echo
#

crusher zealot is

#

better than thunder hammer now imo

cobalt bone
#

Revolver is too complicated to reload

carmine agate
#

1 bullet revolver for ogryn

solar sand
#

its actually nice cause you can do it like a shotgun

austere wadi
#

Ogryn needs to have a crusher 2handed weapon
Give em a big block of concrete at the end of rebar. Or just any 2-hander

solar sand
#

and fire mid reload

carmine agate
#

Called rumblef kek

strong gulch
#

I only play casual T5s, so it's probably that experience talking; but I thought surge was fine pre patch 14 ep smite bug. Nothing over the moon but also not bad. I liked it.

I could usually get maulers with two charges. One needing to crit.

carmine agate
#

Yeh ogryn need rock on a stick

solar sand
#

im using smite now, like actual smite with empower

#

and its really good for hoard clear

carmine agate
#

Oh?

solar sand
#

with how i have it build

strong gulch
#

But I also get that compared to void, assail, or even trauma impact was missing for a lot of people.

solar sand
#

like as good or better than assail now

carmine agate
#

I mean my main horde clear is the creeping flames w smite

bleak tulip
#

challenge mode

half iron
#

skrillex bass drop

spice veldt
#

true the LMB is pretty good

austere wadi
#

smite do be pretty good. Even if you just spam it into a horde, you stagger everything that you don't kill. Your team of smoothbrains can deal with the big elite lads when they can't fight back

#

legit the skill to carry all the bad players

bleak tulip
#

LMB is dope now

spice veldt
#

i have the fullauto mod so I won't give myself RSI using it

cobalt bone
#

Its rly fast

bleak tulip
#

still wish it was a little less fucky to aim but its fine just spam lmao

carmine agate
#

I like lmb

cobalt bone
#

Pretty accurate now too

carmine agate
#

Now i can hit far away snipers with surge staff lmb

native plover
#

Precision force staff? That's Voidstrike if you can aim

carmine agate
austere wadi
#

barely even need to aim voidstrike

#

just aim over the cover and it sitll hits the dudes behind it

spice veldt
#

something more snappy than a voidstrike as well

#

and has more firerate, because god damn I hate its slow fire rate

austere wadi
#

imagine if assail wasn't auto-aim

native plover
#

Wrong class then

spice veldt
#

it's a charging + projectile weapon

austere wadi
#

would be more fun imo

carmine agate
#

Sounds like a plasma gun herwoo

#

U get the self boom fantasy too with it

spice veldt
#

at least they buffed the ammo pool on the IAGs

native plover
#

the "fastest" firing force staff would probably be the fire one

#

technically

still hearth
#

Give us assail staff without homing

carmine agate
#

Rapid fire lmb puffs

austere wadi
#

I think surge staff is the fastest with the right traits on it

radiant lance
#

Any point in buying (2.4k) this on Psyker?

native plover
#

Oh no i mean right click firing

#

but i can fire pretty damn quickly on my left click on my Surge

austere wadi
#

Do you mean charge rate?

still hearth
austere wadi
#

cause I still think surge charges faster than purge

lethal plover
#

smite psyker is now amazing eh

carmine agate
#

Yeh

still hearth
#

Surge has shortest charge time by far

radiant lance
austere wadi
#

Smite can kill hordes much faster now

lethal plover
# radiant lance How so?

I have actually been doing top damage and killing the most enemies by combining smite with soulblaze shriek

still hearth
#

"much"

austere wadi
#

its twice as fast now when you got Emp

carmine agate
#

I mainly deal top dmge frm surge staff

still hearth
#

That's 100% Shriek

carmine agate
radiant lance
carmine agate
#

True shriek kills the horde in a few secs at 6 stacks

austere wadi
burnt island
#

Okay. Played a match with disrupt destiny tree. Eh... Sucks I lose the whole stack

austere wadi
#

at the cost of 100% peril lol

burnt island
#

Might as well stick with warp charges

lethal plover
still hearth
radiant lance
austere wadi
#

disrupt is only really useful in aggressive gameplay
I use disrupt on my gun build

carmine agate
#

Im just glad there is no more

#

Purple smoke

radiant lance
austere wadi
carmine agate
#

Itsok w surge staff im always empowered

native plover
#

True, but damage is not the point of the smite anyway, lol. It's nice bonus imo

lethal plover
#

purple smoke?

burnt island
#

it does kill when you build properly with soulblaze shriek

I mainly use smite

why do melk like to make psyker melee their enemies

To shove the entite horde on the floor

smite is the fastest way to get shriek, and then soulblaze perks just combine

Nerfing smite's ability to disable things would be counterproductive to what it's meant to be doing

BB would be more useful if the game has a small amount of ranged threats

#

firstly, they should let BB crit. secondly, they should add a perk that makes BB spread to multiple targets on a crit with BB

austere wadi
#

I do wish we had fine tuned melee combat like vtide in darkttide. Darktide's melee combat feels so clunky and inconsistent. Especially against ragers, those guys feel like they got twice as much reach than they should and don't have many windows to get in, hit them, then back out because of that janky reach of theirs.

#

I want bb to explode the target like a booooomb

thin finch
#

it is shit tho for the third target, like penny little winny damage

austere wadi

and they should let the chainable BBs have a higher chance to crit and let them chain too

so on occasion your BB just takes out a spawn wave

dammit

but letting it crit and then chain to a few nearby targets if it does would be cool, i agree on that

how do you nerf trauma tho

nerf the range?

Make the stagger AoE not a thing

no reduce damage pls KEKW_ogryn

perilous combustion should just be straight up removed and converted back to wrack & ruin

So making it a BR node?

yup

replacing kinetic flayer

That could work

Originally it was perilous combustion ,which was shit, then changed to wrack and ruin which was good and now we're back to perilous but it's too good after the soulfire buff KEKW_ogryn

perilous combustion was never a thing

still hearth

Nothing about soulfire changes that perilous is OP

The first version of the spread was that Brainbursting elite would spread soulfire

thats wrack and ruin

thin finch

it was then changed to " it burns the guys"

and it was trash because it was fighting with warp rider

Yeah wrack n ruin wouldn't be bad now

@spice veldt have you tried assail after the nerfs??

lethal plover

I was going up an elevator when dozens of gunners and dogs came. I did a smite and a shriek and as the elevator went up my kill feed was like youtube chat. So I'd say the soulblaze perks still do work.

Just click more

Its pretty significantly worse lol

For horde clear at least

i've been running it with DD so far

against poxwalkers perhaps, but I'm pretty sure my shards will still two-shot them with malefic momentum stacks up

horde clear
lol then it was a good nerf. makes no sense to assail a horde

did you try alt fire assail at all?

i basically did not use alt fire at all

harsh urchin
#

Cuz it only oneshots sniper

still too slow to enter

they gave it like 150 more damage, Dis

thats a lot

harsh urchin

Doesnt even oneshot a bomber

Yeah i tested it in the grinder lol

should take specials down easier now

it's a lot but it's also slow and risky in many situations

thin finch
harsh urchin

It doesnt hit any meaningful BPs

spice veldt
#

they gave it 90 more damage; 250 -> 340

#

which is fairly nothingburgers

harsh urchin
#

Unless you crit

spice veldt
#

just like how the nerf to the LMB was fairly nothingburgers; 250 -> 200

It does 660 dmg to a bomber

#

Leaving it with like 70-80 hp

#

The right click is still useless

to me right click felt about the same

seems like you would need warp charges or something to hit the breakpoint?

hoary badge
#

understandable

stable silo
#

i can change 1 thing what do

spice veldt
#

not very well

#

the direct damage doesn't do much, and Soulblaze only deals 10% damage to Carapace

#

the main strat would be to have purg along with a melee with rending% (uncanny strike cough cough)

spice veldt
#

gives stacks on weakspot hit; each stack gives +24% rending

spice veldt
#

rending got changed with patch 13 if you weren't around for the explanation

+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)

near wyvern
#

just testing it currently

#

it does not affect all targets anymore

spice veldt
#

brittleness is a debuff on enemies that gives rending% to incoming attacks

near wyvern
#

unarmoured for example is not affected by it

spice veldt
#

ye

near wyvern
#

and it seems to give 1% damage for every 10% over 1.0 armour mod against armoured targets

spice veldt
#

oh god damnit

near wyvern
#

I need to do further testing later on and will update the guide when I am ready with it

I just installed the debuff indicator, no respite stacks up to 8 times that's pretty nutty

Not like the downtime to quell from 100 to 0 is a huge drawback

Oh also fellow Psyker mains:
Does Malleous Monstronum require the basic BB, does any Blitz work, or does even BR work?

Do you deal upwards of 2k dmg on RMB?

Yes

#

I literally just run the first node

Since I just need 1 charge

I can't deal even close to 2k with WC

#

Did you leave grinder between

fringe sapphire
#

tf do you have

still hearth
#

Its possible EP stack remained

fringe sapphire
#

I'm dealing +2k with EP and 1-1,5k with WC

still hearth
#

Flat staff does 700 damage to carapace without any talents

#

One stack

#

With Warp Rider

#

1900

#

Yeah EP definitely works

#

It's not even close

#

If I have 0 EP and warp rider 760 damage

fringe sapphire
still hearth
#

Yeah I get the results that should happen as far as I can tell

#

You can stack EP and Warp Charges

#

If you had an EP stack before you swap

fringe sapphire
#

yeah.. WC is not even close to EP

#

logically.. how even could it

still hearth
#

Full charge Warp Charges + Warp Rider is 1.1k for me

#

One EP did 1.9k

#

The question is kind of if peril cost reduction is better for staff spam

#

Which I don't think it is since quelling is super fast

#

Oh and lets not forget Surge doing random damage

#

No it isn't but ok

strong gulch
#

Surge having an upper and lower limits to its hit that are random is annoying.

Look you hit the breakpoint, now you don't, now you do, now you don't....

still hearth

Not that much more from my testing

But you're a strange person that quells to 0% too I guess

Literally 0.3s downtime

There's 4 specials

You can quell a bit and keep flurry stacks up

when you tap quell when at 100%, it instantly drops by 15-20 instantly

So you can spam slightly more

And your metric is stunning enemies for some erason instead of killing things

That seems kinda bad

You originally said WC gives way more dmg than EP, which is wrong

is voidstrike still objectively better than surge staff

Half the casts

strong gulch
still hearth
#

Yeah because I tried it

#

In a controlled environment

#

Where you can tell

#

It's just way less damage

#

So the only thing you get

#

Is slightly more shots

still hearth
#

Because quelling is insanely fast

torpid shadow
#

I feel like EP smite shouldnt inc damage but just far reduced peril generation bc its main utility is mass stagger of (nearly) any enemy

still hearth
#

"Let me trade my one-shots and two-shots to do less damage and stagger a bit more often"

#

???

fringe sapphire
still hearth
#

It's not 50% less

spice veldt
still hearth
#

Crushers, Maulerrs, Ragers, Bulwarks, Repears, Boss DPS

spice veldt
#

56.25% peril, which takes 1.25 seconds to quell assuming 80% quell speed and from 100% peril

#

i'm too lazy to go measure how long a surge rotation is

viscid matrix
#

for me, quell speed and peril generation reduction barely matters, i sit between 80 and 100% constantly, and only tap quell to prevent going boom

spice veldt
#

should be mostly easy to just calculate the damage per peril%

viscid matrix
#

tap for instant 15-20 quell then back to another secondary

still hearth
#

God the damage is so garbage with Warp Charges man

#

Idk what you're on about

#

Literally most things takes at least 1 time more to kill

#

Up to 3 more on Reapers

#

Legit question

viscid matrix
#

ive played surge into aurics, and the quell tap between secondaries is how i play

still hearth
#

Me:
You miss out on BPs on literally every single enemy

You:
That doesn't matter I'll just shoot more and kill less

viscid matrix
#

thats not my job, that is the ogryn or zealot who im playing with that do that

still hearth
#

Just swap to Smite

viscid matrix
#

my job when i am using surge staff is to take out priority targets as fast as possible

still hearth
#

You win the match

Primarily

#

By killing things

Dude I've played this game since release

It'll save some god forsaken runs

cant wait for Hadron to ruin this fine weapons

still hearth
#

Yeah it's not like I've used Surge both ways and clearly noticed how much better it is when it does actual damage

#

But since you put in more hours you can feel entitled to your opinion

#

Weren't you leaving

#

I don't think this is the sick "I win" thing you think it is but enjoy

whole oxide
#

seems like something that'd be pretty easy to test by spawning 50 mid-tier elites and timing time to clear

with the increase in life on certain mobs and reduced damage on void staff I feel weak. If only they didnt gut the surge staff.
